How do you know Chendo?
He's my son's father, We're not together anymore,
Let her go!
Really, thank you, The people here are very excited,
Having a house is a dream for them,
You didn't pass the test, Bernal,
for tampering with evidence in the Lozano case,
You're suspended,
Who the hell do you think you are?
I know what you're doing, asshole,
He's the Secretary of Security, He can do whatever he wants,
- Go fuck yourselves, - Does Chendo know these dudes, or what?
He told me he would help me find Yahir,
Buddy,
What happened at Dreams Without Borders?
They told me some damn gringos had adopted me,
But they locked me up, There were more kids,
- They did what they wanted with us, - Father Murphy knew about this?
He sent me there, It was Father Murphy who picked us,
There's no,,, Topeka, Topeka, Top--
THE GRINGO HUNTERS
- How can someone sell kids? - Son of a bitch, dude,
We live in a fucking dump, No doubt about that,
He was supposed to take care of them,
He can't just walk around freely, We have to catch him now,
And the gringo in the US too,
That's why we want to give them all the evidence on Murphy in the US
to get the arrest warrant,
Yes, but you've already seen how they do things here,
One damn phone call from Meyer, and you're walking out the next day,
- Okay, - Good morning,
That was good,
- Good morning, - Good morning,
Wow,
Good to know you're already handling the Crypto Queen,
- Yes, - I talked to people from the FBI,
- I said they have our support, - Please sit,
They already sent us information,
Where are we on this?
Go ahead, Cami,
Leslie Drexel is one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives,
She founded TrueCoin, a pyramid scheme that conned people
out of over 50 million dollars,
She's been on the run since 2019,
She's still at it, but flying under the radar,
The FBI confirmed that Drexel was in Mexico City in 2020,
They suspect she settled here,
A week ago, Leslie's sister, Dorothy,
went to Cancún and checked into a spa,
Supposedly, she is still there,
but the FBI confirmed she flew to Tijuana an hour ago,
They suspect she might be attending her sister Leslie's wedding,
We plan to follow her from the airport to see if she'll take us to the fugitive,
- Okay, Keep me updated on any progress, - Yes, sir,
Many eyes will be on you,
And I won't tolerate any mistakes,
Please stop this!
Calm down, man,
I know you feel like you're going to die, but you're not, okay?
We'll take you to a place where you'll get help,
We need to get him a dose urgently,
Withdrawal from this makes you want to tear your skin off,
Do you want to buy him fentanyl, man?
- Yes, yes! - Shut up!
Heroin, sniffed or smoked, will be lighter for him,
Yes, I agree,
I fucking need something, Anything,
Listen, man,
if we take him to a hospital or a rehab center,
we'll be giving away our location,
I know, man,
Give me something or I won't testify,
You can go fuck yourselves, I won't say a word,
Listen,
Do you know a reliable dealer we can buy from?
Freeze! Police!
- Hey, hey! - Get back!
- Calm down! Easy, easy! - Don't move, fuckers!
We are police officers too,
I didn't do anything!
- Let's go, let's go! - Why are you taking him?
Help! No!
Come on, man!
You can't take him like that!
- We're cops, goddammit! - Hey! Where are you taking him?
What are you accusing him of?
- Hey! Back off, - Help!
Let's go!
They just took Yahir,
- What? - We couldn't do anything,
- Wait, man, Who the fuck did it? - Ortega is two steps ahead of us,
We have to find a way to be the ones chasing him,
Yeah, chase the Secretary of Security? Forget it, Nico,
We have to send Camila,
There's no other way,
What happened?
- No, I don't think I can, - You can,
You're close to him,
- He trusts you and gave you this job, - I'm not sure that he trusts me,
Of course he does, Camila,
But what do you want? You want me to put a GPS on him?
- More than that, - More?
We need to know what he's planning and with whom,
- Everything he says, - Who he's talking to,
For me to put a mic on him?
- Yeah, - Many,
- Wherever you can, - Everywhere,
- Camila, we need your help, - Yeah,
Well, if you'd told me before,
it would have worked because today is his birthday,
I'm invited, but I haven't RSVP'd,
- Awesome, - We have a bug kit here,
- How many do we have? - Archi has five more,
Who's going to be on call?
- Don't worry, - That is not an issue,
Don't worry about that,
TIJUANA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
You don't think we put Camila,
I don't know,
in an awkward position?
Isn't it too much pressure?
I'm worried,
She'll do all right, man,
Have a little faith,
You're right,
But I'm still worried,
Listen, she's leaving,
It's a dark gray truck with Texas plates,
I repeat, a dark gray truck with Texas plates,
Copy, copy, We see her,
She's leaving, We got her,
I'm leaving the parking lot, I'm right behind her,
- Over, - Roger that,
Let's go,
Step on it, baby,
Temo died trying to dismantle this,
Do you think they killed him?
It was the only way to shut him up,
I still don't know exactly how, but Ortega had a hand in his murder,
Gildardo? Are you serious?
All our investigations point to his involvement,
How can we report the Secretary of Security?
No, we can't report him until we have strong evidence,
I can't believe this,
They were such good friends,
Well, they were very good friends until,,,
- Do you remember the Mochadedos case? - Who?
You were a little kid,
I remember, That was the operation where Temo and Ortega
caught the ones who kidnapped and killed Meyer-Rodríguez's daughter,
Things didn't turn out the way Temo had planned,
Ortega got there first,
When Temo arrived with the whole crew,
Ortega had already killed everyone, all by himself,
Ortega's story never made sense to Temo,
Did he say anything? Did he report it?
Yes, he spoke with the chief of police who was in charge at the time,
but they stopped him dead and told him the state needed heroes,
Temo had to accept his medal with Ortega,
Who was the chief of police back then?
Víctor Cisneros,
May he rest in peace,
Maybe someone else might know more,
Hello?
Thanks for leaving coffee for me,
Any time, Is everything okay?
Kind of,
I can't stop thinking about what happened,
What happened yesterday was a big deal,
It's normal to be upset,
If you hadn't shown up, he would have killed me,
But you're alive,
You'll be fine,
Maybe you should take some days off to process it,
How about you?
Happy to be a cop again, even without a badge?
- I'll call you later when I'm done, - Let's go,
- Yes, sir, - Who was that?
No one,
You're acting weird, dude,
She's going in,
Cri, keep your eyes on the other exit, Right in front of us,
Copy, copy,
His truck is all messed up, dude,
We should be looking for Murphy, right?
Yeah, we should be doing more, but we must work so we don't get screwed,
Look, man, if we don't catch Leslie, we won't get Collado off our backs,
Right,
There she is, Look,
Let him know,
Cri, she's changing cars,
She's now getting in a black car with California plates,
There she goes, Tail her,
That's it, We have her,
Cri, what's the status on the fugitive's sister?
She's going into a really fancy house, I don't know who it belongs to,
I don't see security agents or cameras,
Over,
Copy that,
No, no, on the contrary, it has to be profitable,
How else will we get the money to help all those people?
People who have spent their entire lives in deplorable conditions,
They have no baths, no drinking water, It's tragic,
What remarkable work,
I listened to what you said at the hospital
and, honestly, I was moved by your words,
Thank you,
My brother was kidnapped,
He came back in a terrible state,
But alive,
This is something that should never happen to anyone,
In our case, at least justice was served,
It was all thanks to Ortega,
He had the balls to stop the kidnapping wave back then,
Mr, Secretary of Security, to your health,
Cheers, This is your home,
Cheers, Gildardo,
Cheers, Mr, Governor,
Excuse me,
Laro,
I'm glad you both made it,
Thanks for the invitation,
- Sweetheart, - Happy birthday,
I was given the afternoon off to attend the party,
They'd better, right?
- Happy birthday, Gildardo, - You didn't have to,
You know how grateful we are to you,
We'll drink this in a bit,
Please, come in, make yourself at home, Everything is delicious,
- Eat and drink something, - Thanks,
I'm starving, honey, I'll see what I can find,
We own this house, Isn't that amazing?
I LOVE YOU
Yes, ma'am,
With money,
the dog "dences,"
- I'll ask them, They might know something, - Cool,
Hey, Don't go flirting around, man,
Look at him,
What's up, Nico?
Hey, Gloria, do you still have that contact at the records office?
No, I don't want to ask him for a favor,
Why? What do you need?
I have to go, I'll call you in a bit,
What's up, Lobato?
What are you doing here?
Collado sent me as support,
But we didn't ask for any support,
I just follow orders,
- Right, - What's the status?
We need to confirm she's the fugitive before we can arrest her,
- What now? - He's following orders to support us,
Damn,
Take off the badge and hide your piece,
What did they tell you?
The lady said that an English heiress named Agnes Maxwell lives in that house,
She moved to Mexico
and tomorrow, she's marrying her Mexican boyfriend,
who's much younger,
So she says,
She was in the mood to chat,
Cool,
No, that won't be possible,
Besides, you don't have an order,
Yes, but we are citizens, We have the right to information, bro,
I can't let you in without an official letter,
- You could help-- - Do you like dollars, bro?
Get with the times, guys, We don't accept bribes here,
You'd better go, Go on, Get out of here,
Okay, Thanks,
Why were you offering him money?
- Give me a break, - Hey!
You should have told me you were friends with Gloria,
SEARCH:
SEARCH RESULTS
This one, right? Classified,
- "Fifty-seventy," That way, right? - Yes, Let's go,
Here,
CLASSIFIED FILES PROTECTED
Come on,
I'll cover you,
Nine, one, six, seven,,,
Hi, there, Yes, it's this one,
Archi! Hurry up, man,
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION SERVICE
Hurry up, man,
- Armando Valenzuela, - Man!
Get out,
Done, Let's go,
- Did you find it? - Yeah,
What do you have?
I have a name,
I don't argue anymore,
For real, the other day, we read an interview with this actor,,,
What was his name?
- Who? - The one with long hair,
The one that kills everyone because they killed his dog,
Well, never mind, He says that he's reached an age where,,,
That car is stopping,
Another guest?
Must be the fucking poor cousin with that car, right?
No, it's a guy,
No way he's here as a guest, I think he's here to work,
What's up, bro?
- Did you come to work here? - We are police officers,
I'm not doing anything wrong, I've come here to work, I'm the stripper,
Tell you what, we'll pay you, plus tip, and you won't have to do a thing,
Cool, right?
- Hello, - Hello,
- I'm here to dance at the party, - What's in your bag?
It's a toy, It's part of the show,
- Go ahead, - Come in,
You can change your clothes here,
Thank you,
Me too, but with my wife,
Please come with me,
- I need him for a sec, - Be right back,
Don't you believe me?
It must be something serious if you wouldn't tell me outside, right?
I'll tell you soon,
You're being mysterious, Mr, Secretary,
I won't take too much of your time,
This way, sir,
Dude, you're like the fucking godfather,
You don't even rest at your own party,
NO TRESPASSING
- Does he live here? - According to the file,
It's still hot,
Howdy!
You trying to mess with my coffee?
- No, sir, - I don't like people touching my food,
- Who sent you? - No one, sir,
We're police officers,
We're from the International Liaison Unit,
We just want to talk to you about a case you had to supervise,
You don't look like a police officer,
And you don't even look Mexican,
Let me see your badge,
They were taken from us, sir,
We are suspended,
Hey!
How is Temo?
I don't think he's thrilled to be six feet under,
In fact,
I was suspended for investigating his murder,
There are only two types of suspended cops,
The idiots who got caught doing something crooked
or the idiots who refused to do something crooked,
Which one are you?
Beto texted us, man,
"Confirmed, The bride is the fugitive, There are two guards and no cameras,"
- Let's go, - Wait! We have to wait for Beto,
Then we can go in,
Collado gave orders,
Her identity is confirmed, We must arrest her,
No! Wait, Chill, We don't operate like that,
Besides, she's American, The arrest is ours,
The Mochadedos operation turned the city upside down,
It was a mess,
Why was it a mess?
What?
You were talking about the operation, sir,
Why do you think so?
What happened?
- Are you in a hurry or what, blondie? - No, sir,
Do you remember any details of that operation?
Yes,
The agents on the case
suddenly became heroes,
They killed all the kidnappers and saved some of the hostages,
They even had gringos
and Joaquín Meyer-Rodríguez's daughter,
But she was killed,
I don't like gringos,
I'm not a gringo, sir,
I'm Mexican, just like you,
Well, I don't like your face,
Did you keep any investigation files or documents related to the case?
I have everything,
Here,
And it will stay there,
Sometimes, I really wish I had a bad memory
so I wouldn't have to remember all the shit I know,
To live in peace,
Mr, Armando,
Your memory can be of a lot of help to us,
They say that redheads bring bad luck,
We aren't just looking for Temo's killer,
We're also investigating a gang that sells children to the US
to exploit them sexually,
We believe that Ortega is covering up for them,
As much as I really want that motherfucker Ortega to fall,,,
what I haven't said must stay unsaid,
I'll take it to the grave,
You have the power to help those children,
But if you won't,
that's on your conscience,
Did you come here to piss me off in my own home?
You'd better go,
And next time I see you around here,
you won't leave,
Did you see how he got when I mentioned Ortega?
- Must be a sore point, right? - Yeah,
I hope he doesn't give us away,
Even if he knows or says something, who will believe him?
Walk fast, he might come, shoot us, and hang our heads like deer trophies,
I don't think he wants to see your fucking gringo face every day,
Hey!
The bullets that killed Mariana Meyer-Rodríguez
came from a gun that was cleaned,
The same gun that was used to kill some of the kidnappers,
But due to the rush,
it wasn't cleaned well,
That gun
had Ortega's fingerprints,
Any proof of that?
The records were deleted, and the original evidence was burned,
Now where the fuck did I put these,,,?
Thank you, Mr, Armando,
The International Liaison Unit agents
were investigating
their commander's death,
And that
led them to Murphy,
So?
Do you know what the beloved priest does when no one is watching?
No, that's not my job,
As it turns out,
the agents interviewed a drug addict from Sánchez Taboada,
And this man informed them that Father Murphy
has been involved for many years
in a child trafficking ring,
My agents are already investigating,
but that drug addict appears to be one of the victims,
Didn't I ask you to investigate him exhaustively?
I have transferred funds
from my personal accounts to Dreams Without Borders, Ortega,
- I've been campaigning with this fucker, - Joaquín, let's calm down,
We already made that drug addict disappear,
I don't think he will be missed,
And they
don't have proof,
Not yet,
I've been supporting a bastard who traffics children,
This information remains here,
You're going to personally take care of that fucking unit,
do you hear me?
- I'm already working on that, - Their investigation is over,
Let me be clear, If they don't back off, we'll make them,
Nueva Tijuana is connected to the worst shit on the planet,
You're going to personally take care of that fucking unit,
You're expected to tell me everything that happens in there,
You think I'm some kind of spy because Ortega is my uncle?
You won't have to go through the test,
Remember who you work for,
Hello,
I'm here for the party,
- No one else is expected, - Don't move,
- You can't just walk in, - Freeze, On the floor,
Don't say a word,
Hands on your back,
Easy, easy,
- Let's sit here, - Don't move,
Take off your pants!
Party's over!
- Police! - Be silent!
You can't see they have no guns? They're civilians! What's your problem?
Go, go, go!
There she is!
You fucking idiot!
For this first step, we suggest two different recipes
for making a facial cleanser,
The first one is made with wheat flour
and a teaspoon of multani mitti,
Just a teaspoon,
Multani mitti,,,
- Hey, - Dude,
You're so paranoid,
You scared me,
- I didn't know you were staying, - You want me to leave?
I'm not complaining,
How are you?
I got some popcorn,
There was nothing else,
Is it good?
I cancelled the job,
I didn't feel good going home alone,
To be honest, I can't keep doing the same thing,
Well,
Be whatever you want,
You can be an oncologist,
a taco maker,
an astrologist,
a trash collector,
You are so funny,
You did a great job as an informant,
You busted that perverted director and the other asshole,
I didn't get a case like that until I was a year in the unit,
Do you think they'll let you go back?
Fuck,
I hope so,
If not, I don't know what I'll do,
Be whatever you want,
You could be a lawyer or a trash collector,
You fool,
The number you dialed is unavailable or outside the service area,
Please try again,,,
Gloria, I just got home,
I heard something huge,
I'm not sure it's safe to tell you this way,
I just,,,
DEVICE LOCKED
What are you doing here now?
I was on my way home, and I wanted to say hello,
I was just finishing making dinner, Come in, come in,
Don't stay out there,
It's an honor for us to have you here, Thanks for stopping by,
Would you like to stay for dinner? Should I prepare something?
Look who's here, Cami,
You know what? I'd like a cup of tea,
Of course, Gildardo,
Hi, uncle,
Sit, Camila,
What is it?
You forgot this,
In my office,
It's not mine,
Did anyone else hear that audio?
There's chamomile, cinnamon, lemon,,,
Chamomile, please, With a little milk, if that's okay,
Of course,
Give me your phone,
Are you sure you didn't send it to anyone else?
I'm sure,
If you're lying to me, we will find out,
I didn't send it to anyone because I didn't think it was safe,
Look, Cami, my sister was like a second mother to me,
That's why we're having this conversation,
But your dad,,,
he doesn't even have my blood,
So, if you don't do exactly as I say,
I'll kill him,
Here's the tea,
There you go,
- Thank you, - Careful, it's hot, I'll leave you to it,
No, man, I have to go,
Delicious,
You should be very proud of Cami,
She's turned out to be a great asset,
She's learning so fast,
In fact, I came to tell her
that from now on, she'll be working directly for me,
Right?
Well, I'm off now, Laro, Thank you very much,
No, thank you for the opportunity,
Let's go!
