El Señor de los Cielos (2013–…): Season 1, Episode 20 - Las narco-tiendas - full transcript

General Jimenez Arroyo's my employee,
Ali. My dog!

That's what that bastard is!

What's up, my Letrudo? Did you
love the painting I sent, or what?

Everybody freeze!

How nice!

Would you look at that! Two lovebirds
in the middle of an affair!

I didn't think this was official,
but apparently it is!

Come on, Letrudo! Chacorta...

General Jimenez Arroyo's days
are numbered.

Let's see, Aurelio. There's Gadi,
asking for more shipments to the US.

There's your project, the little stores
in Mexico City.



Don't you think we still need
General Jimenez Arroyo's support?

Everything's still the same, Ali.

You'll excuse me, I don't understand.
Isn't this Letrudo on our side?

We'll go on using him, and keep
his connections... his support!

Only this time we'll go over him,
we've had enough clowns!

It's time we talked
to the circus's owner.

Do you have more information?
Did Monica say anything?

Of course...

Hugo's going to contact you
with his people.

Be careful, Aurelio...
It could be a trap from Guadalupe.

Guadalupe doesn't have the intelligence
nor the guts to set us up!

Neither does Monica!

Monica's got nothing
to do with my plan.

But your friend, the Russian could
open some doors for us...



Set me a date with her.

You're crazy, man...

Ali, keep sending shipments to the US.

But less each time, we'll put coke's
price up. The rest stays here in Mexico.

Chacorta, keep up
the little store thing,

Mexico's going to change.

And we... will be stopped by no one.
No one.

Kid, let's go!

SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO

Heriberto, take good care
of your sister.

Yes mom, don't you worry.

-Bye bye grandma!
-God bless you.

-I commend them to you, Juan.
-Let's go, then.

Hi, little monster!

Each time they leave
I get the same anguish.

Sometimes I wish they didn't go
to school but studied here,

with a private tutor.

But it isn't fair to isolate them
for their parent's business... right?

There are rules in the business, and
the first one is to keep children out.

After what happened in Houston,
I'm not sure those rules still apply.

My son won't allow anything to happen
to his family on account of business.

Houston wasn't an attack.

What do you mean, Ximena?

The same way Aurelio doesn't settle
for the money he's got...

He doesn't settle for just one woman.

You're saying that was because of
personal issues with you? No, my dear...

Miss Alba, I don't know
what will doom your son.

This business...

Or his stubbornness of getting involved
with every woman he sees.

MEXICO CITY

Since I met Doris,

Jimenez Arroyo's wife,
I realized their family is wealthy.

-But I didn't figure that much!
-They've always had tons of money!

And they've always collected art.

So Doris giving her husband a present
like that on such a special occasion...

-Doesn't seem strange to me, Eugenia.
-I agree, Linares...

But is it smart, or at least strategic
that the wife would give that

to the head of the Anti-Drug Commission?

-Not at all.
-They don't seem dumb!

-Where are you pointing at?
-This present was a surprise for them!

They weren't expecting it!

Someone wants to compromise them,
or warn them.

This woman sure knows more
than she says...

Did you notice how skillful she was
at dodging all our questions?

I'm sure she has many connections,

which will be useful now
or in the future.

And you? So seductive, Mejia!
You surprised me!

-I get why Eugenia would be so jealous!
-What are you saying?

I was just buying time to decipher her,
earn her trust!

Decipher her... or undress her?

Don't give me that look.

I know you're in love with Eugenia,
you wouldn't go crazy like that.

-Can you really tell?
-Yes...

I saw you last night, Marco.
And...

The way you were kissing her,
you only kiss someone you really love.

And you Leonor?
Do you have a partner? Are you in love?

No.
Women like me can't fall in love.

Well there's some truth
to what you say...

But you're human,
and humans fall in love!

Take me out to eat, I'm starving.

Really, thank you Emma,
for accompanying us last night.

Please Doris, thank you for having us
on such a special moment for you.

You're like family! We had to share
this happy moment with you.

I'm so proud of Daniel!

That's why I got him that painting,

But I felt some people found the gift
a little sumptuous, don't you think?

Don't fret about what people think!
I thought it was a nice detail, Doris.

Thank you.
And what did Eugenia and Marco say?

-About the painting?
-Well, yes, the painting, the party...

Well, nothing. They were thrilled
about your husband's promotion.

I still feel the same way.
There's no way to justify that amount!

Jimenez Arroyo must have
a very good resource.

Will you insist on that matter,
General Castro?

I already explained,
the money comes from the wife's family.

The painting, too.
She explained that very clearly.

Plus, we've known the family for ages!
Drop that, it's nonsense!

Excuse me, but I agree with the
Defense Secretary.

Jimenez Arroyo got a message and
we must find out who he's dealing with.

And if that were the case...
Then what?

Gentlemen, I'm beginning to think
you're getting jealous!

In this country,
there's enough for everyone!

I'm still waiting for you
to bring me business...

It all started very nicely...

But it's been a while,
and the profit... isn't growing!

-Ponte, hello. How are you?
-General, fine, thank you.

I'm reading reports from Colombia,
drug production seems to be increasing.

What we don't know is what
they're doing with it, where it's going.

Where did the reports come from?

Agent Ballesteros still has
very good sources in Colombia.

Where is she?
I don't see Marco Mejia around, either.

They're conducting an operation.

Operation?
Of what kind? Ponte, be more specific!

I don't know that much, they just said
they're after a very good lead.

They're super good!

You're good at discovering these places!

I can take you to hundreds
of these places around Mexico.

It's full of them!

Hey, Leo! I want to ask you something.
I hope it's not an indiscretion...

Why did you say
you couldn't fall in love?

Mejia... Have you ever
worked undercover?

No. But I've had very good friends
who have...

And sadly they lost their lives in
the line of duty, just like my father.

When you go undercover you stop
being who you are, to be someone else.

When you least expect it
you're a machine, tangled.

With many lives, but no real one.
Have you ever felt that way?

Well if that ever happens, you need
to be ready to think differently, Mejia.

To feel things you don't want to feel...
Things you shouldn't feel.

Tell me... did you ever fall in love
while working undercover?

In love? No.

On the contrary. When you're undercover
you live another life.

A life you wouldn't dream of,
in your worst nightmares.

You get into situations you'd never
be in, in your right mind.

You meet men so cruel...

That only looking at you
can crush your soul.

We'll keep this between us,
as our little secret.

-Just us, together.
-A secret?

Criminals, murderers...

That know perfectly how to hurt
and humiliate you.

And doing your job,

trying to get these bastards,
you get carried away.

You didn't come here to think
or fall in love.

Do you get it?

And you end up degrading yourself...
Sometimes beyond any boundaries.

And then that's it.
It's impossible to go back.

Take this, you can buy half a bike
to show off around the neighborhood.

You do want to get a bike?

Of course! Who doesn't?

You want me to give you the other half?

Yes, yes! I'd love that.

Turn around.

Come on, turn around!

You're never the same again...

When you look in the mirror...

You don't recognize yourself,
you're someone else.

I could only be with someone who
understood my job perfectly.

And who understood me.

I mean...

Someone like you, Mejia.

You'd be an excellent partner.

But, someone got ahead of me.
What can you do?

I always thought that the best way
to find a partner...

Was finding someone who didn't do
the same as you.

Eugenia's a good woman, Marco.
Really, she's a cool girl.

Take care of her...
Or she might slip away.

Monica, my sister.
We can't fight all the time like this.

All I want is to protect you,
I don't want you to get hurt.

Why don't you worry about your new girl
and let me take care of myself?

Hold on, there's nothing between
Roxana and me.

-No?
-Boss!

Gentlemen, welcome!
Good evening!

-Good evening.
-Excuse me...

Sir!

-Hello!
-Hello. It's me, Monica.

-Hello Monica, how are you?
-Fine.

Thinking that I'd love to see you.

Damn, me too! But I have something to do
and I won't be able to see you.

I'll wait until it's over.
I mean, if you want me to.

Well... Let me see how it goes,
and if I can...

I'll call you and we can meet to talk
about our thing. What do you say?

The person I'm expecting just got here.
I'll call you later!

Irina, how are you?

-Good evening.
-Good evening, how are you?

Please have a seat. Allow me.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Waiter! Bring us a glass of
your finest champagne. Thank you.

You look so good,
you're so hot, amazing.

Thank you.
I always thank for flattering.

More so, if it comes
from a man like you.

You gave it right back at me!

So Irina, how was your day?

Well, pretty interesting! I got a visit
from someone who does what you do.

-Is that right?
-Yes. Well, the same business...

But on the other side.

Who is it? So much mystery!

It's a very handsome man,
who's name is... Marco Mejia?

Do you know him?

-You'll love this Argentinean wine!
-Yes.

Eugenia and I discovered it recently,
and it's really good.

-Oh, thank you son.
-It smells delicious, Marco!

Again, thank you so much
for inviting me.

There's nothing to thank for!

They've been wanting to invite you
for a long time.

Marco and Eugenia are most kind.

Yes, I realize that... Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

I know from my son that I can talk
in front of you, so...

I spoke to Doris today.
And it seemed like a very strange call.

As if she wanted to find out what you
and Eugenia thought about the painting.

Anyway, he said he was looking at
my client's backgrounds

to see if any of them was into...
illegal business.

Don't worry about that guy.
I've got him on a tight leash.

It's not even worth talking about him.

His days are numbered.
I'm getting a wooden suit made for him.

Why don't we talk about more
interesting things?

Like you and me...
The business we could do in the future.

Everything we could do together.
Let's drink to that!

Great idea.

A toast to all the business
we could do together...

And everything else...

-Did you talk to Emma?
-Yes.

She says Marco and her girlfriend
don't suspect a thing.

-But I think Marco's up to something.
-I didn't see him today.

He was out all day...
Following leads, according to this.

Must have been with that Colombian girl.
Looks at him like she wants to eat him.

-The one I did see was Aurelio.
-And? Did you make your point clear?

Yes... We had an argument,
but everything settled in the end.

If I were you
I wouldn't be so calmed, Daniel.

I doubt this will be the only
trouble between you.

And about Marco... keep him busy!
Put him to work. Him and this Leonor.

So they stop meddling.

Once they start getting tangled,

not only will their work get harder,
but also their lives.

-Won't you tell me what you think?
-That you obviously learned from dad!

And about that painting,

it's obvious that it got
out of Jimenez Arroyo's hands.

We visited art galleries today, to see
if we could find something about it.

It's not that smart of Doris to make a
present like that in front of everyone.

If you want I could try and find out
what they're up to.

And if you want I could offer you
a job at the commission.

You know I've always been
on your father's side, son...

That I always supported him in his job,

and that if I can do something
to help...

to me it would be
in honor of his memory.

You did hear, Marco?

In this business, it's hard
to find someone to support you.

-What we talked about this afternoon.
-Actually, I was thinking of that.

And I think I'm a very lucky guy.

Because although Eugenia isn't police,
she helps me with all my work.

In fact, that report on Casillas,
was written almost entirely...

You're right, Leonor.

In this business we must
surround ourselves with good people.

people with ideals.
Like you. Cheers!

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

We want to know what's going on here.

We keep sending goods,

and you always say
that the same amount arrives up north.

Let's see, gentlemen,

I remind you it was you
who put Aurelio Casillas in charge.

I don't know what personal connections
he's making. To me, he's a traitor.

Chill, let's calm down. All we want
is to know...

Is what's happening to all those goods,
where are they going?

Russia, Europe...?

I don't know! I don't know!
I only do my job, gentlemen. That's all.

I only handle the border,
place the cocaine you give me up north.

Now... what? You're being wronged,
You're not getting good money, what?

Hold it.

With all due respect. Will you settle
for being Aurelio Casillas's employee?

Because let me tell you...
Our boss won't.

We came for that, too.

To see if you'll stand
by us against Casillas,

or you want to remain as you are.

Your brother knows
his business, Chacorta.

I just did the math.

If this turns out alright, we'll end up
making four times what we were making.

You're telling me that with a few guys
that don't have enough for tacos...

-we'll make as much as with the gringos?
-Yes... Here you go.

If these projections are correct,

we'll need so much stuff here,
we won't have any to send to the US.

I believe you. But the gringos?

They'll end up paying double, or triple
due to scarcity.

The only one who could
screw this up, is Letrudo...

He won't like seeing his country dirty.

Consumption will increase 1000 percent.

As long as we're making that much,
it's fine by me.

I'll tell you more, today I'll send
a turtle to Letrudo, so he gets on it...

He'll ride slowly to his mother.
I said it.

Thanks for everything, Eugenia.
It was delicious.

Marco, you're twofold lucky.
She's gorgeous, and cooks.

-I know...
-Don't worry about Emma, I'll take her.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Thanks son, thanks for everything.
We're set, then.

-Just take care, mom.
-I'll find out what I can.

Good night.

Well... Finally we could thank Leonor
for all she's done. I hope she liked it.

And I'd like to thank you.

First, for inviting her. And second,
for that exquisite dinner you made.

-What did you think?
-She's cool...

And she has the guts
any man would want.

You know she was in the operation where
they caught Escobar? That takes guts.

She must have had a tough life...
That's why she's so distant.

Yes, she's introverted
and a little shut.

But I guess
deep down she's just a woman.

-Sensitive.
-She'll need someone who bares with her

because being with people so locked
inside themselves, is hard.

Love, every time I see people so alone,
I thank God for having you.

For loving each other like we do.

I love that you're this rough, Aurelio.
I love it.

From the moment I saw you,
I knew I had to be with you...

I knew it. Come here.

I've the feeling we'll get along great.
That I'll be able to trust you.

-How sweet, that's kind... thank you.
-You're welcome.

-I think you want something else, right?
-No, I want to marry you.

Of course I want something else!
How did you know?

Because even though you seem
very focused,

I feel like your head's somewhere else!

-What do you want from me?
-What do I want from you?

I want your connections.

The pointy ones.
That's what I want.

Well it's all very important people.
Millionaires...

-What business are you after?
-I don't care for millionaires.

I want powerful people
in the government.

You sold those paintings
to the President, for instance.

Would you put me in touch with him?

You know the business better
than anyone. When you can, you can.

And when you don't, then you don't!

Honey, why are you like this?

You promised you'd be with me
the night of my show!

Yes, but I have too much work!

Better tell me
how that godson's behaving.

Super. You wouldn't believe it,
that kid's super into it.

Obviously, there has to be something,
and Ximena's always there,

keeping us from work, fighting...
But hey, what can you do?

-I'll have to bare with it.
-Look, don't listen to her.

But don't make her mad. As soon
as I'm able I'll be there, I promise.

Alright, darling.
Please don't take long, I miss you.

I kiss you, honey.
I love you. Bye.

Look Russian, I'll make it simple
so you can understand.

You know they call me Lord of the Skies.
Well I want to go higher and I need you.

And don't act innocent,
you know exactly what I mean.

You have access
to the President or not?

Not to the President.

But to his cousin, I have access.
That's as high as I got.

But since we both know what we mean,

let me just tell you that
the President isn't easy to break.

Is that so? How do you know?
You've tried?

Well things I've heard for giving
my customers...

a VIP service...

A VIP service?
You've slept with them all?

You have, haven't you?

I love how straight you are...
Well, yes.

Some of them...
I hope you're not jealous.

I say the same to you...

Well gentlemen,

I called you here to introduce
a new member of our team.

Agent Pablo Pineda.
Better known as Ears.

And the nickname isn't random.

Ears can put microphones in the
least expected places.

In various occasions,
thanks to his work,

we've gotten crucial information.

He also knows his cameras,
and top-end technology.

I'm sure he'll be most useful,
General.

Welcome, Pineda.

You join the team at a very appropriate
time. We're about to put into action

several operations nation-wide,
isn't that right, gentlemen?

We greet your technology,
and hope to work together smoothly.

That you keep me up to date
about all your inquires.

Will do, general.

Then what? Will you help me?

It's good for you, too.

It sounds good...
But things take time.

It's not just overnight.

But look...

While we get to where you want to,

I could turn you into a prince.

What's this? Do I look like a frog
that you want to turn me into a prince?

Look...
You're handsome, Aurelio...

But if you want to move in my world,
we'll have to work on some details.

You work on my details...
I'll work on yours.

The situation's critical, gentlemen.

While we were investigating and pursuing
some of the cartels,

our country's been filled with drugs.

Now in Mexico there's what we know as
little stores.

Grocery stores, hardware stores...

Any store's good
for drug retail.

And the situation's so bad,
that the US government

asked us to let some of the drugs
pass across the border.

Isn't that irony?

And that's because the crime rates
in the northern country

have increased with the
scarcity of drugs.

Sir, that's the report
we have for you for the time being.

SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO

Well... I'd like to propose a toast.

To Aurelio Casillas.
You did great with the little stores.

We control all of the country's market.

So you see I'm no brat,
and learn to trust me! Cheers!

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-Hello.
-What's up?

-You wanted to see me?
-I'll be straight with you, Aurelio.

-Why beating around the bush?
-Say it! Business trouble?

Turns out it's all for you, now.
And the rest of us are getting screwed.

Tell me. Is this how
it's going to be from now on?

I mean...
Just to know if you'll screw us all.

What's wrong?
Aren't you making enough?

If I were making enough I wouldn't
bother you... My people are anxious.

If that's the case just take it easy,
let me get nervous.

You know there's enough for everyone.
I'll gladly give you one more route.

Some territory so you're not tense.

-And the rest?
-What about the rest?

Are you from the union?
Their lawyer...?

No but just as we are uneasy,
so are the other gangs.

The Villalobos, for instance. They don't
get any, they start to steal and kidnap.

And that's not cool. I tell you so you
don't get any unpleasant surprises.

What are you saying?
You think they'll dare?

I don't know... They might flip.

I mean...
You know I won't cheat.

But I can't speak for the rest.
Thanks for having us, Aurelio.

-Good afternoon, gentlemen.
-Good afternoon!

What a rat, man!

What should we do, Aurelio?

I'd get this kid out here
and finish him.

No, Chacorta... What for?
I like the kid.

We just have to watch him.
Up close.

MEXICO CITY

So it is, Monica.

The Colombians went back and they're
producing everything they're asked.

And Aurelio's doing what he wants
with all those goods.

We still get our quota,
but it's not enough.

That's why I thought that maybe,
if you talked to him...

-I didn't think it was this serious...
-Well it is! It's that serious!

We're still getting our quota,
I repeat!

Let's see.

Don't try to disguise the situation
or hide that you're ruined.

Because if you're asking me to go
beg Aurelio for help,

is because you're low.

Well, not as low as you.

I really don't think so.

That Casillas is real clever, isn't he?

He's a tough guy over there, boss!

I don't see why we would become
allies with the Robles! What for?

A little question, Don Oscar...
How much more did they offer?

100 more a kilo.

-How much?
-100, daddy!

-Come on!
-And that's nothing, listen.

He's raised the prices up north,
and he's going to be shipping tons!

And we, here, fresh.
Covered with dollar bills.

-Watering heliconias.
-What do you think?

They're taking care of transport and
distribution, and we're lying here.

-What a beautiful business, Don Oscar.
-Whoever wants more, should know better!

In Unguaro we'll be celebrating tonight!

Because tonight I will
get wasted and fight!

Oh, Lord... Well...

Gentlemen, here's to prosperity.

Viva Mexico, cabrones!

MEXICO CITY

I'm not sure how it happened

but overnight the country's
overflowing with drugs.

Right under our noses.
And it aches...

I'm military, with a compromise to this
country. I took an oath to the flag.

When it was just about passing it
over to the US I didn't care, but...

Now that Aurelio is
poisoning the whole country...

It makes me so angry. The President
will be looking for guilty parties.

-And what will you do?
-I don't know, Doris. I don't know.

You have to become Marco's ally.

How...? You mean telling him everything?
Confessing to him?

You need that, Daniel!
It's time you got rid of Aurelio.

And only Marco can help you.

-Come in.
-Excuse me, sir.

Have a seat Mejia, please.
Thank you for coming so fast.

You'll say what I can do.
You seem preoccupied.

More than to the colleague,
I'm coming to the friend, Marco.

I don't want to speak to the Agent,
but to the human being.

I want to confess something
very serious, and I think you...

are the only one who can help me
get out of this jam.

I'm listening, general.

I...

Sometimes I feel unprepared
to occupy this position.

It sounds cowardly...

It makes me angry not being capable
of stopping all that's going on.

Tell me, be honest.
Tell me what I did wrong.

Where was my mistake?

All I can say is that it's not
all your fault!

It went out of my hands!

I let these bastards do what they wanted
with the country! Sons of bitches.

Who specifically are we talking about?

You think these little stores are
responsibility of just one group?

I do sir, I really do.
You'll call this part of my obsession,

But according to the little we've been
able to find out by now,

All those little stores have people that
once worked with the Casillas Cartel.

They got into the Capital, sir.

Excuse me for belittling
your appreciation of Casillas.

Don't I tell you I did wrong?

-These murderous bastards screwed us.
-No, sir.

Not yet.

If you allow me, I can follow an
investigation about the little stores.

-And I assure you I'll find the link.
-Do it, Marco. Please.

Help me with this... Do it.

Or I'll be forced to resign.

TAMAULIPAS, NORTH EAST MEXICO

Who are you?
What do you want? Leave me!

What's up with this?
Did they pay?

Half of what we asked... They didn't
have as much money as we thought.

-We should have just killed her, then!
-It's not that easy.

And the robbery isn't
going all that well.

The cops got another one of our guys.

-We have no money to pay them, it's bad!
-Well what should I do?

Don't you think I know
drugs were better?

Talk to Aurelio and let's go back!

No Sabino, we can't negotiate
with Aurelio.

We have to end this from the top.

If we want back in the business,
Aurelio Casillas must be killed.

SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO

Dad, then what? You'll come along
this weekend to visit those people?

-I want to be seen with you!
-Sure, that's what I'm for! My children!

Hurry up go to school, you know how your
mom gets! Finish it already!

-Godfather...
-Take care of it, son!

Matilde said
the godson's good for this!

Yes, he's a natural, right?

-What's new, Chacorta? How's business?
-In Mexico things are working!

The one I have my doubts about,

is Topo Galvan.
I can't quite believe him.

Don't worry about him,

he's under control.
Like that Guadalupe, remember?

What concerns me are the Villalobos.

If you want, we can take them down.

No, we must wait. To each his own.

We just have to watch them.
It's not the moment.

It's one thing to fill
the country with drugs,

another one to fill it with blood.

That would break the pact
with Letrudo.

Well whatever you say.

What's my little girl doing alone?

Look at those...
Okay, quit that!

Pack up, you're going to Mexico!

I need you to make me
an appointment with Casillas.

-Now?
-Well, no... Yesterday!

That guy's got something going,
I want to know about it.

Don Oscar, don't worry! We'll just
finish something down here and leave!

Well we'll have to ask, the Corporal!
Would he give us an appointment?

Or will we keep on washing up after him?

-Whatever you say, boss!
-Go on, then!

Marques, listen.

I'm sending the Corporal to make me
an appointment with Casillas.

Keep your eyes on him. Don't lose him.

I'm sure that kid's
going to make a mistake.

That's on your shoulders.
Alright?

MEXICO CITY

I forgot.

I'm not in the mood,
so you better leave.

Monica... Please, we have to
work together on this.

Or Aurelio's going to sink us.

Understand, we lost
all our supply from Colombia,

now we depend on what he wants
to throw us!

He's got us eating off his hands,
and I don't know what to do!

If Isidro was alive,
he'd know what to do.

We had the best
money laundry possible...

This is not about me

being a dumb ass, but about Aurelio
taking over the entire business!

Is that right?

-And what should I do?
-You must help me, Monica.

You must convince him of allowing drugs
to flow, that's all!

-And how am I supposed to do that?
-Monica, you know how.

You know you can get anything by
getting a man between your legs.

You said you liked that I had nothing
to do with Aurelio.

Nice brother...
Now you want to whore me out to him?

Don't come to me
with purity now, alright?

You know damn well that we're the same
when it comes to getting what we want.

We need this, so start thinking
about what you'll do!

We're not going to Tamaulipas.
Galvan said it's too hot right now.

lf you go, Aurelio,
they'll break you.

lf I fall in love it must be a woman
that's really worth it.

And what's a woman that worth it like?

Beautiful, with a great heart...

Hi! Am I interrupting?

From the most unexpected...
