El Señor de los Cielos (2013–…): Season 1, Episode 23 - Episode #1.23 - full transcript
Have you ordered your men to
catch Casillas?
Not exactly.
But he's handing over a very big fish,
and that's a very good score for me.
My people are
on a very important assignment.
And if I can't lead them,
I get very anxious.
Remember it's us who say how
and when things get done around here.
If he isn't coming,
we'll take off!
You asked for it!
Stop! Police!
Villalobos!
Stop!
You are arrested
for crimes against public health!
This new strike
leaves only one king
of organized crime.
It's the Lord of the Skies.
But the one leading
this orchestra...
is me.
It's me, can you talk?
I'm calling to thank you
about the operation
You played that one
very well, General.
You don't need to thank me.
I'll find out the bitch
who is going for Aurelio.
And I'll kill her.
You have my authorization, Mejia.
We'll go all out against
Aurelio Casillas.
We won't allow him to poison
this country's youth!
Our duty as Mexicans
and as the guardians of this nation
is to avoid at all costs
that our children
may fall prey
to the scourge of drugs.
You have all my trust.
Thank you for trusting us, General.
This is the best time to put in motion
the plan that will finish
the Casillas' organization.
I entrust everything to you, Mejia.
-Don't disappoint me.
-No way, sir.
We'll get to work immediately.
-Ponte!
-Sir?
I want a full report on the drug dealers
in Colonia las Flores.
Pineda, Leo and me will
work on the communications strategy.
Alright?
Let's go, get to work!
Thanks, sir!
-Please, go on.
-To work!
Thanks again, General.
Thank you, Leonor, for your commitment.
I'm going away to military school.
I want you to keep these.
And to practice what I taught you.
I won't ever forget this.
I hope so.
Someday you'll do something for me.
SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO
Weren't you taking Rutila to school?
I let the guys take her,
I'm not feeling well.
What's wrong?
What is it, Ximena?
I don't know what to do.
Heriberto is driving me crazy.
He's getting out of control,
I can't handle him.
Calm down, Ximena.
He was out the whole night.
-And he didn't go to school today.
-What?
What did you do when your children
wouldn't study?
What do you think, Ximena?
No, girl.
We were doing badly and...
Chacorta and Aurelio had to work
along with their father
from a very young age.
My son should make use
of our fortune, he can go to school.
I feel I'm alone on this.
And whenever I ask Aurelio for help,
he just takes Heriberto along,
and that scares me.
And my dad doesn't help either.
This isn't right.
Damn it!
Just what we needed.
I know Monica and Guadalupe
have changed,
but they're putting up a fight.
And betrayal is not an option!
We're not talking about betrayal,
it's about business.
-You've expanded a lot--
-Hold it.
How are you doing, Mr. Cleto?
I'm worried.
They caught one of the Villalobos.
We heard about that too,
the government doesn't like kidnappings.
I don't like having an associate
tangled up in that.
We have to help him.
Ask Benjumea how to get him out
as soon as possible.
Of course, I'll talk to Benjumea
and see what we can do about them.
Alright then.
Later.
Where were you?
I was partying with my
Colombian friends.
What are you looking at?
-I was waiting--
-Am I not allowed to go out?
I thought we were going out!
Forget that story about
me being your boyfriend.
Alright?
I've told you,
my desire for you has run dry.
You're stressed out.
And you need someone
to take care of you.
Let me give you a massage.
We can get in the tub and relax.
The only thing I need...
is for you to stop bothering me.
Guadalupe...
Aurelio is really getting to you.
You're lost!
And your pride won't let you
ask for help.
Who are your allies?
Did you think about calling them?
Your brother Isidro
knew how to handle things.
He had high-profile connections.
What do you have?
Nothing, Guadalupe.
If you don't catch up,
they'll leave you behind!
Why don't you call your associates?
Go to them.
Do something, Guadalupe.
Everything's square
with Antonio Casillas, gentlemen.
Can I count on you?
We believed
that given your family's connections
you wouldn't be interested
and would let us do business
with those people.
I would be interested,
I would let you,
No, that's conditional, General, let's
conjugate that in the present tense.
Be warned!
I am interested!
And I'll handle it.
Look,
You just take care that assignments
get carried out normally,
and with utmost discretion,
and I'll handle the negotiations.
What do you think?
If you put it like that...
we'll do it.
Of course.
The percentages will vary slightly.
So, will you make the decisions
from now on?
That's right, General.
With your kind contribution, of course.
Because you'll all keep your positions.
Right? I'll handle that too.
I'll tell the President you're still
the best people for the job.
Alright?
Gentlemen,
if everything's set,
I'll leave.
Damn it!
Those that aren't out of focus
are just too small.
What do you think of this one?
-I want a more recent one.
-What about this one?
You know what?
We'll print all of them.
This is an extended campaign, right?
Do you need help with the journalists?
No, Pineda, thanks.
I'll talk to Linares, Eugenia's partner,
he's hard working and has connections.
-Great.
-Let's go.
SABINO VILLALOBOS FALLS
Marco scored big
by catching that mafia boss.
It's the Villalobos' boss.
But the credit is going
to Jimenez Arroyo.
Speak?
What's up, my dear?
What's up, girl?
Could we arrange a meeting
with Linares tonight?
Yes.
Is everything alright?
Nothing serious.
I just want him to do
a big piece on Casillas.
But I'll tell you personally.
Alright, love, see you tonight.
Is everything alright?
It seems we'll go all out
against Casillas.
There's something I'm curious about...
If you start working on your own,
what will you do about Cadena?
No, Mr. Aurelio,
why would you think that?
We wouldn't ever leave Mr. Oscar, ever.
We want something else,
we want...
an additional income,
you know?
For candy, you know.
And as there's so much
to do in Mexico...
We'll continue working with Mr. Oscar
and will continue supplying
from over there.
Like my man just said, we just want
to open up a sideline,
you know, to gain a little autonomy.
That's it.
We just wanted to let you know.
I do believe it's important
to keep this to ourselves,
so we won't have trouble elsewhere.
That's right,
Mr. Oscar will come talk to you soon,
and he'll ask how everything's going...
Everything's alright, isn't it?
Everything's alright.
Don't worry, I won't tell.
I'll see what I can do for you.
Tell Cadena that...
I'll fly to Colombia soon
to talk to him, so he won't worry.
Anything else?
Would you like a snack?
No.
-That was it.
-Just that.
-Go on, then.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
Great.
Thank you. Excuse us.
These Colombian beggars...
turning their backs on their boss.
We've got to be careful
with them, Aurelio.
Don't we, Benjumea?
I'd think about it...
Look, Benjumea,
you wouldn't talk like this
with any other boss.
Because you wouldn't ever betray us...
or would you?
That's offensive, Victor.
Cadena deserves it, he was playing
two sides, for the devil...
and for God. We need people like
the Corporal and Perez.
People who side with us.
Wait...
What side are you on?
-What side?
-The devil or God?
The devil.
Alright.
What's up, Marquez?
Is everything alright with the boys?
Yes, boss.
They're coming out of the meeting.
How come, man?
You left them alone with Casillas?
What's wrong with you?
I didn't have a choice.
Hand over the phone.
Mr. Oscar wants to speak to you.
What's up, boss?
I have good news for you.
Casillas wants to fly to Colombia
to set things straight with you.
What did he tell you?
What's he up to?
What did you talk about?
He'd rather talk to you in person.
We're flying back tomorrow
to get back to your service.
As usual.
Alright, see you around.
These idiots can't do anything right.
Pour me a drink, I need
to wash away the bad taste.
MEXICO CITY
We don't have lots of photographs,
but this is the best we have.
We could sharpen them up
on the computer.
Maybe...
-I'll handle that if you want.
-Alright.
We'd really appreciate that, girl.
Would you go get a bottle?
I'm so busy preparing dinner...
-Sure.
-Alright.
I'll get that!
Did you invite your mother?
No, Leo, she'll help us out.
-Hello.
-Hi, good evening, Eugenia.
Hello! Linares, do you remember Leonor?
Of course, the famous Colombian officer.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise, Linares.
Let's go before the shop closes.
We'll be right back
Get another steak,
I wasn't expecting her.
Sit down, I'll go set another plate.
No need! I came here to work,
not to eat.
It's no problem, really.
It might not be a problem...
but it's not like you want to.
Eugenia...
You don't like me.
Let's not lie to each other.
I'd rather be frank with you
for once and for all.
Why don't you like me?
Are you jealous, Eugenia?
Is that it?
Which one are you seeing now?
I'll go against Benjumea's suggestion
to see Monica,
she's mad and I want to calm her down.
I only worry about your safety.
I'm taking two of our boys
to guard me, don't worry.
What are you doing?
Nothing, I'll just stay here and rest.
Benjumea, I'm worried about you!
You haven't had a woman in a while!
Have a good one. Excuse me.
Are you sure he's straight?
What are you doing?
I'm expecting a lady friend.
And I'm calling Matilde
to ask how the concert went.
Send her my regards.
And ask her how Heriberto's doing.
Last time she told me
he was doing great.
-Is he?
-Yes, he is!
As if he had been in the business
for years.
That boy makes me proud.
It's nice to see your kids grow up.
And how are you doing with your boy?
Don't leave him alone.
I won't leave him alone.
I just don't want Matilde to find out.
Alright.
See you later.
What do you say?
Thank you for the present.
You're welcome, I hope you like it.
God bless you, son.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, Ms. Alba. Take care.
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
Good bye, Ms. Alba.
Goodbye, Victor.
Mom...
if Mr. Victor is my dad,
why doesn't he live with us?
Remember that Mr. Victor is married.
He's got a wife.
That doesn't mean
that he doesn't love you.
I want to be just like him
when I grow up.
You should study, son.
Mr. Victor would love it
if you turned into a Doctor
or an Engineer.
We would be very proud of you.
Me, jealous?
Why should I be?
Should I worry about you and Marco?
No, Eugenia.
I wouldn't get with someone else's man.
That's great.
Everything is clear then.
Besides...
I really trust Marco.
Perfect.
Are we friends then?
Come, help me set the table.
I need to tell you something, Eugenia.
I really admire you.
I just couldn't be
with a man like Marco
and be so trusting.
Why would you say that?
There's nothing wrong with it,
don't misinterpret me,
that's just me.
I am a rather jealous woman.
and I'd rather be alone.
Good men are hard to find, aren't they?
What do you do then?
Don't you want
to share your life with somebody?
The wine's arrived!
Let's do something,
let's work a while before we eat.
That's great, but what are we doing?
Well, we've been green-lighted to go
all out against Casillas.
-The General's orders?
-Exactly.
Through the media,
we want everybody to know
that Mexico is flooded with drugs.
And that Aurelio Casillas leads
the organization behind that.
We'll set our guns against him,
that's our aim.
And the news needs to come out tomorrow.
Let's get to work,
we don't have much time.
SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO
Thank you!
Excuse me, miss.
One moment!
Where's Heriberto?
He's out, miss.
But he set everything up for you,
and I can do
anything you might need.
Is that so?
Well...
Thank you!
-Excuse me.
-Goodbye.
MEXICO CITY
-Good evening, sir.
-Good evening.
The usual?
I have a craving for Tequila.
Bring me a double.
Right away.
Wait, come here.
Has Monica asked about me?
No.
She was here yesterday,
but not today yet.
I'll get you your drink.
Hi, handsome.
Hello.
Will you buy me a drink?
Good evening, Mother.
Heriberto, what are you doing here
this early?
I thought you were working at Matilde's.
Well...
I set everything up to leave early
and not miss school tomorrow.
I've made my decision, Mom.
I do want to finish school.
Are you serious?
That's great news!
Come here.
I wanted to talk to you too.
About what?
I miss you and you haven't
talked to me as much lately.
I want to know about you.
You know everything, Mom.
What else is there?
I know you have a girlfriend.
I don't have a girlfriend.
Yes, your Aunt Matilde told me.
Don't be like that, it's normal!
Tell me, how did you meet her?
The usual, a schoolmate introduced us.
-It's nothing serious, though.
-Are you being safe?
-Mom!
-What?
Heriberto, it's normal.
-Yes, but we won't have that talk.
-What then?
Yes?
Ximena?
It's Ali.
How are you doing?
So nice to hear you!
I just wanted to know
if everything was alright.
You sound lively!
Yes, I am. Heriberto just told me
that he wants to finish high school.
That's great.
And how are you doing?
A bit tired.
but I still wanted to check on you.
You know that's part of my job, right?
Yes.
And I'll always be grateful
that you are looking after us.
You know I'm glad to do it.
I won't steal any more of your time.
Talk to your son.
Benjumea,
do you know anything about Aurelio?
He won't answer my calls.
He's in a business meeting.
But I'll tell him you called
as soon as I see him.
Good night, Ximena.
What then?
Will you buy me a drink or not?
Don't you like me?
What is it?
Of course I like you, it's just...
I'm expecting someone.
Is it a woman?
Do I look gay to you?
No, not at all...
If I was that woman,
I would never leave you alone.
I think she isn't too interested.
I'm sorry, my queen, but you aren't her.
Go to the barman
and order whatever you want.
You'll have to drink it by yourself.
And stay far away.
Get going.
How surprising!
Aurelio Casillas is rejecting
a beautiful woman.
Who could have predicted that?
Are you spying on me?
Yes, my dear.
I wanted to see if you passed the test.
Damn it! Did I pass or not?
Fortunately...
for you.
She's Roxana, my sister-in-law.
Nice to meet you.
I felt I knew her...
She was Isidro's wife.
May he rest in peace.
Yes.
And now she's banging Guadalupe
so she's my sister-in-law
on two counts.
Thanks a lot, Matias,
I'll send you the information.
It was the director
of Chihuaha's newspaper.
He's willing to help
just like everybody else.
We agree that there'll be
several pieces, not just one.
Do your connections agree with that?
Yes, they all agreed.
We're ready to publish,
with national coverage,
a new piece every day
for an entire week.
In newspapers from Durango, Chihuahua,
Sinaloa, Sonora and Coahuila.
Across the north,
the media is with us.
Great, brother!
That could be our first piece.
I got it ready when you asked.
I've read it, it's perfect,
we have to print it.
That's great, but...
I'd rather you didn't sign it.
That could be dangerous.
I don't understand...
We're all taking a risk here,
and putting our lives in danger.
Even Leo is risking her life
to protect you.
I want to support the man I love.
We're all hanging from a thread here.
Let's catch Casillas once and for all.
The media outlets await my call.
and I've already faxed
the images and the text.
What do you say?
Let's do it.
Are you still worried?
I don't know how Aurelio will react
when he sees his face on the papers.
Do you fear he'll retaliate?
No.
There's no way he'll pin this on me.
What worries you then?
Losing the goose with the golden eggs?
Daniel, we've got plenty of money
in the Swiss account.
It's not just that, there are
many interests at play.
If nothing changes,
I'll end up being his enemy.
And so?
You've got the army, the government
and the police backing you up.
Come on!
Get away from Casillas now.
No, he's got support too,
from the big cartels that ship
the goods from Colombia.
I don't know how they might react
when they find out I'm exposing Aurelio.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand you.
If you're so afraid,
why did you give that order?
Because I'm more frightened
about what might happen to the country
if we don't stop Aurelio.
Now.
Pour me one.
Pour me one, buddy!
-A drink?
-Yeah!
This man we'll drink it up.
The last one, this is just for men!
-That's fine.
-The last one, right?
Let's see...
-That's it!
-Now you can lay down to rest.
I'm leaving now.
-Good luck!
-I love you all!
-Good night!
-Thank you!
-Go rest!
-Stay in the shade!
That was nice!
Take this, my love.
I thought he'd never leave!
He clung to us the whole day long!
Girls, go to our room and put on
the red thongs, we'll be right over.
Come on!
-The northern tigers!
-That's it!
Hey, stupid!
How do you feel about Casillas?
You want the truth?
I think that's tough.
Why, man?
Why?
If they don't let us do our thing,
what will we do then?
Didn't you see how they
defended Guadalupe?
That's nothing.
He doesn't care about Guadalupe.
I wouldn't have asked him
if I wasn't sure.
Guadalupe's days are numbered, man.
I hope everything works out
with Casillas.
If he goes to the boss...
Bang, bang!
We're dead, man.
Well...
I'll leave this here.
I'll get going, don't want
to eat next to you, man.
Hello.
Where were you?
Having a drink with Monica.
Guess what?
I met the famous Aurelio Casillas.
Is my sister with him?
Of course, doing what you asked.
I didn't ask for anything.
Guadalupe, don't play the fool.
Get a grip!
Your sister is sleeping
with your worst enemy right now.
Aurelio Casillas is laughing about you!
He's humiliating you.
How much longer?
When will you react?
React!
Tell me...
if any of the whores with whom
you cheat on me
can make love to you like that.
My queen, I don't cheat on you.
It's them I cheat on.
And if I have neglected you,
it was just because of business.
Talking about business...
What?
Was the information I gave you
of any use?
I could set up a meeting
with the people in government.
They're very powerful.
Of course, if I did that...
I'd have to ask you to do something
for Guadalupe and me.
No, my queen, we won't talk shop.
Why don't we do
what we came here to do?
There's no room for business
and me here.
Come here.
SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO
Heriberto.
Who's there?
It's me, love.
You...
Why did you dump me at the club?
You'd better leave.
-We could get caught.
-Yes!
That's true, that's scary!
Or are you scared of this?
Let me go!
You'd better leave, auntie.
-This can't happen.
-You're right, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I really screwed up.
But what can I do, love?
Look at how hot you are!
I just saw you lying on your bed...
With the manly body you're getting.
I just couldn't control myself, love.
You've got to stop this.
I love and respect my godfather.
Even if you're hot,
and I'm a man--
And you prove it every second!
You get manlier all the time.
You look more like your dad every day.
Do you know what?
You're right.
I'd better leave.
Go back to sleep.
Excuse me, please.
Goodbye.
MEXICO CITY
It's perfect.
This piece is just what we need.
Nonetheless...
I still think you shouldn't sign it.
Marco, it's too late, the paper
is being printed.
We're all risking our lives.
Leonor, me, Linares...
By the way...
speaking of Leonor and Linares,
when we returned with the wine,
it might be just my imagination,
but I felt the atmosphere was charged.
Charged?
Not at all, we were just talking
about feminine things.
She told me how lonely she's feeling.
How does she handle that?
Does she sleep around
or is she celibate?
I don't know.
But I could find out if you want.
You're so fast!
Why don't you find someone for her?
That would be fine.
But I can't think of anybody...
She's like...
a bit surly, isn't she?
Or is it just me?
She's like that with everybody.
I don't really know her.
We just work together,
work, work, work.
But you and me...
we talk about work,
or not, and we talk other stuff.
Or we just do them, right?
I love how forthcoming you are.
Let's talk very closely...
I love it when you talk
to me that close.
That's the way I like you best.
You make love to me like nobody else.
What are you doing?
I've got to leave,
I have to do business
tomorrow and would like
to sleep a while.
We're not done
talking business, Aurelio.
Maybe next time.
What's up with you?
Who are you going to see?
I won't be just another whore!
You promised you'd help me out
with the family business.
My queen,
don't be anybody’s errand girl.
But tell Guadalupe
that starting tomorrow,
I'll send him an extra 100 kilos.
That's all I can do for you.
Give me a kiss.
Don't be mad!
That was Mejia.
He managed to print a
piece against Casillas
and some pictures in the
papers' morning edition.
That's it.
Go to sleep, you've done your duty.
Relax, Daniel.
Do you love me?
With all my soul, girl.
That's why I protect you, you know?
You won't let anything bad
happen to us, right?
To neither of us.
Do you promise?
I promise.
We'll always be together, right?
Nothing will stand between us.
Is that right?
Nothing.
Nothing, girl.
We are waiting
for Agent Leo Ballesteros.
At your service!
I'm Leonor Ballesteros.
Good afternoon, agent.
And you, Leonor? Do you have a partner,
are you seeing anybody?
No, women like me
can't fall in love, Mejia.
Well...
You might be right...
But you're human and every human being
falls in love, right?
Do you really...
feel safe with me?
Safer than with anybody else.
Leonor, cut the nonsense!
That man doesn't exist for you.
It can't be.
As much as you might like him,
there is no chance.
-Benjumea.
-What?
Did you fall off your bed?
No, Victor, I'm going out for a run.
-At this time?
-Yes.
Are you crazy?
What's happening?
-Do you have insomnia?
-How did it go?
Put an extra 100 kilos
into every shipment for Guadalupe.
That was an expensive lay!
Even more than the one you had?
Sure!
I'll go lie down,
we've got business tomorrow!
Benjumea!
-I'm going for a run.
-Benjumea!
What's wrong?
You can have her if you want.
You'll exercise more with her
than in all the rest of your poor life.
Running is for those who can't get this.
What do you say?
No, I'm leaving.
We're all alone again.
Where were we?
HAS THE LORD OF THE SKIES
COME DOWN TO EARTH?
Chacorta!
Please don't shout.
Are you hung over?
Don't shout!
Boys!
Here I am, boss!
Has Benjumea returned yet?
He hasn't been back.
How's that?
Didn't he leave long ago?
No wonder he's thin!
Let's hope he doesn't disappear
after all that exercise.
Boss,
would you like some breakfast?
-No, thank you, I've got to leave.
-That's fine.
See you!
Don't even think about going out.
What the hell is going on?
Someone explain what's up with this.
Now we're really screwed.
I need you to make all the copies
of that paper disappear.
What are you waiting for?
I need you to gather an army
to deal with that!
Aurelio, that's impossible.
Do you know what that paper's
circulation is?
Do you know how many newsstands
there are in the city?
Give it here.
Two things may happen.
He'll either sue the papers for slander,
and we then reopen the case on him,
or he'll get violent,
and we catch him as soon as he moves.
We need to be alert either way.
We need to double our vigilance.
Don't worry, sir, I'm on that,
everything's ready.
-Perfect.
-Good morning.
What happened, General?
What do you think?
I've read it.
I'm just worried about the Casillas'
reaction towards this.
The piece will appear
in every Mexican newspaper.
Casillas won't be able to move easily
through the country.
And that isn't all, sir.
This is just the first in a series
that will be published during the week.
SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO
The Lord of the Skies
came down to Earth!
THE FACE OF DRUGS IN MEXICO
Give me every single one.
Mom, look! Dad's in the newspaper!
Listen,
it's been a while since we had
a family day.
Would you like to skip school today?
-Yes!
-Alright?
Step on the gas, let's go.
Yes.
Perfect.
Thanks a lot.
They told me the piece also appeared
in Coahuila, Durango and Sonora.
Damn it.
Yes, hello?
Aurelio, how are you?
We've just found out
about what's going on.
Everything's alright, girl.
How are you all doing?
Fine, don't worry about us.
I didn't take the kids to school.
They know us around here.
Don't get stressed, girl.
I'm trying to resolve this.
Goodbye, love.
How many news outlets
are we talking about, Mejia?
General, the piece is
in every Mexican newspaper.
But we've got a meeting tomorrow
with some TV and radio stations.
Hello?
General, it's me, can you talk?
Not right now, I'm rather busy
at the moment.
I can't talk to you.
You can't talk to me?
Don't lie to me!
Have you seen the papers?
Yes.
Can I call you in an hour then?
No, General, we'll deal with this now,
this wasn't planned by some journalist,
this comes from the government!
so tell me who was it,
because I'll deal with him right now!
Tell me!
On the next episode
This is a mess, Benjumea.
I'll go to the Robles, and together,
we'll deal with him.
Dad knows what he's doing.
And he doesn't owe explanations to you
or anybody else!
Of course he does!
I am his wife!
And don't talk to me like that!
What if the boss had found out
about the deal we had with the Robles?
The deal we had? No, the deal we have.
Green light, give them lead!
Her name is Eugenia Casas,
she penned all those pieces about you.
She's married to you favorite pursuer,
Marco Mejia.
As a show of good faith to you, Ramiro,
I'll stop the killing.
catch Casillas?
Not exactly.
But he's handing over a very big fish,
and that's a very good score for me.
My people are
on a very important assignment.
And if I can't lead them,
I get very anxious.
Remember it's us who say how
and when things get done around here.
If he isn't coming,
we'll take off!
You asked for it!
Stop! Police!
Villalobos!
Stop!
You are arrested
for crimes against public health!
This new strike
leaves only one king
of organized crime.
It's the Lord of the Skies.
But the one leading
this orchestra...
is me.
It's me, can you talk?
I'm calling to thank you
about the operation
You played that one
very well, General.
You don't need to thank me.
I'll find out the bitch
who is going for Aurelio.
And I'll kill her.
You have my authorization, Mejia.
We'll go all out against
Aurelio Casillas.
We won't allow him to poison
this country's youth!
Our duty as Mexicans
and as the guardians of this nation
is to avoid at all costs
that our children
may fall prey
to the scourge of drugs.
You have all my trust.
Thank you for trusting us, General.
This is the best time to put in motion
the plan that will finish
the Casillas' organization.
I entrust everything to you, Mejia.
-Don't disappoint me.
-No way, sir.
We'll get to work immediately.
-Ponte!
-Sir?
I want a full report on the drug dealers
in Colonia las Flores.
Pineda, Leo and me will
work on the communications strategy.
Alright?
Let's go, get to work!
Thanks, sir!
-Please, go on.
-To work!
Thanks again, General.
Thank you, Leonor, for your commitment.
I'm going away to military school.
I want you to keep these.
And to practice what I taught you.
I won't ever forget this.
I hope so.
Someday you'll do something for me.
SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO
Weren't you taking Rutila to school?
I let the guys take her,
I'm not feeling well.
What's wrong?
What is it, Ximena?
I don't know what to do.
Heriberto is driving me crazy.
He's getting out of control,
I can't handle him.
Calm down, Ximena.
He was out the whole night.
-And he didn't go to school today.
-What?
What did you do when your children
wouldn't study?
What do you think, Ximena?
No, girl.
We were doing badly and...
Chacorta and Aurelio had to work
along with their father
from a very young age.
My son should make use
of our fortune, he can go to school.
I feel I'm alone on this.
And whenever I ask Aurelio for help,
he just takes Heriberto along,
and that scares me.
And my dad doesn't help either.
This isn't right.
Damn it!
Just what we needed.
I know Monica and Guadalupe
have changed,
but they're putting up a fight.
And betrayal is not an option!
We're not talking about betrayal,
it's about business.
-You've expanded a lot--
-Hold it.
How are you doing, Mr. Cleto?
I'm worried.
They caught one of the Villalobos.
We heard about that too,
the government doesn't like kidnappings.
I don't like having an associate
tangled up in that.
We have to help him.
Ask Benjumea how to get him out
as soon as possible.
Of course, I'll talk to Benjumea
and see what we can do about them.
Alright then.
Later.
Where were you?
I was partying with my
Colombian friends.
What are you looking at?
-I was waiting--
-Am I not allowed to go out?
I thought we were going out!
Forget that story about
me being your boyfriend.
Alright?
I've told you,
my desire for you has run dry.
You're stressed out.
And you need someone
to take care of you.
Let me give you a massage.
We can get in the tub and relax.
The only thing I need...
is for you to stop bothering me.
Guadalupe...
Aurelio is really getting to you.
You're lost!
And your pride won't let you
ask for help.
Who are your allies?
Did you think about calling them?
Your brother Isidro
knew how to handle things.
He had high-profile connections.
What do you have?
Nothing, Guadalupe.
If you don't catch up,
they'll leave you behind!
Why don't you call your associates?
Go to them.
Do something, Guadalupe.
Everything's square
with Antonio Casillas, gentlemen.
Can I count on you?
We believed
that given your family's connections
you wouldn't be interested
and would let us do business
with those people.
I would be interested,
I would let you,
No, that's conditional, General, let's
conjugate that in the present tense.
Be warned!
I am interested!
And I'll handle it.
Look,
You just take care that assignments
get carried out normally,
and with utmost discretion,
and I'll handle the negotiations.
What do you think?
If you put it like that...
we'll do it.
Of course.
The percentages will vary slightly.
So, will you make the decisions
from now on?
That's right, General.
With your kind contribution, of course.
Because you'll all keep your positions.
Right? I'll handle that too.
I'll tell the President you're still
the best people for the job.
Alright?
Gentlemen,
if everything's set,
I'll leave.
Damn it!
Those that aren't out of focus
are just too small.
What do you think of this one?
-I want a more recent one.
-What about this one?
You know what?
We'll print all of them.
This is an extended campaign, right?
Do you need help with the journalists?
No, Pineda, thanks.
I'll talk to Linares, Eugenia's partner,
he's hard working and has connections.
-Great.
-Let's go.
SABINO VILLALOBOS FALLS
Marco scored big
by catching that mafia boss.
It's the Villalobos' boss.
But the credit is going
to Jimenez Arroyo.
Speak?
What's up, my dear?
What's up, girl?
Could we arrange a meeting
with Linares tonight?
Yes.
Is everything alright?
Nothing serious.
I just want him to do
a big piece on Casillas.
But I'll tell you personally.
Alright, love, see you tonight.
Is everything alright?
It seems we'll go all out
against Casillas.
There's something I'm curious about...
If you start working on your own,
what will you do about Cadena?
No, Mr. Aurelio,
why would you think that?
We wouldn't ever leave Mr. Oscar, ever.
We want something else,
we want...
an additional income,
you know?
For candy, you know.
And as there's so much
to do in Mexico...
We'll continue working with Mr. Oscar
and will continue supplying
from over there.
Like my man just said, we just want
to open up a sideline,
you know, to gain a little autonomy.
That's it.
We just wanted to let you know.
I do believe it's important
to keep this to ourselves,
so we won't have trouble elsewhere.
That's right,
Mr. Oscar will come talk to you soon,
and he'll ask how everything's going...
Everything's alright, isn't it?
Everything's alright.
Don't worry, I won't tell.
I'll see what I can do for you.
Tell Cadena that...
I'll fly to Colombia soon
to talk to him, so he won't worry.
Anything else?
Would you like a snack?
No.
-That was it.
-Just that.
-Go on, then.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
Great.
Thank you. Excuse us.
These Colombian beggars...
turning their backs on their boss.
We've got to be careful
with them, Aurelio.
Don't we, Benjumea?
I'd think about it...
Look, Benjumea,
you wouldn't talk like this
with any other boss.
Because you wouldn't ever betray us...
or would you?
That's offensive, Victor.
Cadena deserves it, he was playing
two sides, for the devil...
and for God. We need people like
the Corporal and Perez.
People who side with us.
Wait...
What side are you on?
-What side?
-The devil or God?
The devil.
Alright.
What's up, Marquez?
Is everything alright with the boys?
Yes, boss.
They're coming out of the meeting.
How come, man?
You left them alone with Casillas?
What's wrong with you?
I didn't have a choice.
Hand over the phone.
Mr. Oscar wants to speak to you.
What's up, boss?
I have good news for you.
Casillas wants to fly to Colombia
to set things straight with you.
What did he tell you?
What's he up to?
What did you talk about?
He'd rather talk to you in person.
We're flying back tomorrow
to get back to your service.
As usual.
Alright, see you around.
These idiots can't do anything right.
Pour me a drink, I need
to wash away the bad taste.
MEXICO CITY
We don't have lots of photographs,
but this is the best we have.
We could sharpen them up
on the computer.
Maybe...
-I'll handle that if you want.
-Alright.
We'd really appreciate that, girl.
Would you go get a bottle?
I'm so busy preparing dinner...
-Sure.
-Alright.
I'll get that!
Did you invite your mother?
No, Leo, she'll help us out.
-Hello.
-Hi, good evening, Eugenia.
Hello! Linares, do you remember Leonor?
Of course, the famous Colombian officer.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise, Linares.
Let's go before the shop closes.
We'll be right back
Get another steak,
I wasn't expecting her.
Sit down, I'll go set another plate.
No need! I came here to work,
not to eat.
It's no problem, really.
It might not be a problem...
but it's not like you want to.
Eugenia...
You don't like me.
Let's not lie to each other.
I'd rather be frank with you
for once and for all.
Why don't you like me?
Are you jealous, Eugenia?
Is that it?
Which one are you seeing now?
I'll go against Benjumea's suggestion
to see Monica,
she's mad and I want to calm her down.
I only worry about your safety.
I'm taking two of our boys
to guard me, don't worry.
What are you doing?
Nothing, I'll just stay here and rest.
Benjumea, I'm worried about you!
You haven't had a woman in a while!
Have a good one. Excuse me.
Are you sure he's straight?
What are you doing?
I'm expecting a lady friend.
And I'm calling Matilde
to ask how the concert went.
Send her my regards.
And ask her how Heriberto's doing.
Last time she told me
he was doing great.
-Is he?
-Yes, he is!
As if he had been in the business
for years.
That boy makes me proud.
It's nice to see your kids grow up.
And how are you doing with your boy?
Don't leave him alone.
I won't leave him alone.
I just don't want Matilde to find out.
Alright.
See you later.
What do you say?
Thank you for the present.
You're welcome, I hope you like it.
God bless you, son.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, Ms. Alba. Take care.
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
Good bye, Ms. Alba.
Goodbye, Victor.
Mom...
if Mr. Victor is my dad,
why doesn't he live with us?
Remember that Mr. Victor is married.
He's got a wife.
That doesn't mean
that he doesn't love you.
I want to be just like him
when I grow up.
You should study, son.
Mr. Victor would love it
if you turned into a Doctor
or an Engineer.
We would be very proud of you.
Me, jealous?
Why should I be?
Should I worry about you and Marco?
No, Eugenia.
I wouldn't get with someone else's man.
That's great.
Everything is clear then.
Besides...
I really trust Marco.
Perfect.
Are we friends then?
Come, help me set the table.
I need to tell you something, Eugenia.
I really admire you.
I just couldn't be
with a man like Marco
and be so trusting.
Why would you say that?
There's nothing wrong with it,
don't misinterpret me,
that's just me.
I am a rather jealous woman.
and I'd rather be alone.
Good men are hard to find, aren't they?
What do you do then?
Don't you want
to share your life with somebody?
The wine's arrived!
Let's do something,
let's work a while before we eat.
That's great, but what are we doing?
Well, we've been green-lighted to go
all out against Casillas.
-The General's orders?
-Exactly.
Through the media,
we want everybody to know
that Mexico is flooded with drugs.
And that Aurelio Casillas leads
the organization behind that.
We'll set our guns against him,
that's our aim.
And the news needs to come out tomorrow.
Let's get to work,
we don't have much time.
SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO
Thank you!
Excuse me, miss.
One moment!
Where's Heriberto?
He's out, miss.
But he set everything up for you,
and I can do
anything you might need.
Is that so?
Well...
Thank you!
-Excuse me.
-Goodbye.
MEXICO CITY
-Good evening, sir.
-Good evening.
The usual?
I have a craving for Tequila.
Bring me a double.
Right away.
Wait, come here.
Has Monica asked about me?
No.
She was here yesterday,
but not today yet.
I'll get you your drink.
Hi, handsome.
Hello.
Will you buy me a drink?
Good evening, Mother.
Heriberto, what are you doing here
this early?
I thought you were working at Matilde's.
Well...
I set everything up to leave early
and not miss school tomorrow.
I've made my decision, Mom.
I do want to finish school.
Are you serious?
That's great news!
Come here.
I wanted to talk to you too.
About what?
I miss you and you haven't
talked to me as much lately.
I want to know about you.
You know everything, Mom.
What else is there?
I know you have a girlfriend.
I don't have a girlfriend.
Yes, your Aunt Matilde told me.
Don't be like that, it's normal!
Tell me, how did you meet her?
The usual, a schoolmate introduced us.
-It's nothing serious, though.
-Are you being safe?
-Mom!
-What?
Heriberto, it's normal.
-Yes, but we won't have that talk.
-What then?
Yes?
Ximena?
It's Ali.
How are you doing?
So nice to hear you!
I just wanted to know
if everything was alright.
You sound lively!
Yes, I am. Heriberto just told me
that he wants to finish high school.
That's great.
And how are you doing?
A bit tired.
but I still wanted to check on you.
You know that's part of my job, right?
Yes.
And I'll always be grateful
that you are looking after us.
You know I'm glad to do it.
I won't steal any more of your time.
Talk to your son.
Benjumea,
do you know anything about Aurelio?
He won't answer my calls.
He's in a business meeting.
But I'll tell him you called
as soon as I see him.
Good night, Ximena.
What then?
Will you buy me a drink or not?
Don't you like me?
What is it?
Of course I like you, it's just...
I'm expecting someone.
Is it a woman?
Do I look gay to you?
No, not at all...
If I was that woman,
I would never leave you alone.
I think she isn't too interested.
I'm sorry, my queen, but you aren't her.
Go to the barman
and order whatever you want.
You'll have to drink it by yourself.
And stay far away.
Get going.
How surprising!
Aurelio Casillas is rejecting
a beautiful woman.
Who could have predicted that?
Are you spying on me?
Yes, my dear.
I wanted to see if you passed the test.
Damn it! Did I pass or not?
Fortunately...
for you.
She's Roxana, my sister-in-law.
Nice to meet you.
I felt I knew her...
She was Isidro's wife.
May he rest in peace.
Yes.
And now she's banging Guadalupe
so she's my sister-in-law
on two counts.
Thanks a lot, Matias,
I'll send you the information.
It was the director
of Chihuaha's newspaper.
He's willing to help
just like everybody else.
We agree that there'll be
several pieces, not just one.
Do your connections agree with that?
Yes, they all agreed.
We're ready to publish,
with national coverage,
a new piece every day
for an entire week.
In newspapers from Durango, Chihuahua,
Sinaloa, Sonora and Coahuila.
Across the north,
the media is with us.
Great, brother!
That could be our first piece.
I got it ready when you asked.
I've read it, it's perfect,
we have to print it.
That's great, but...
I'd rather you didn't sign it.
That could be dangerous.
I don't understand...
We're all taking a risk here,
and putting our lives in danger.
Even Leo is risking her life
to protect you.
I want to support the man I love.
We're all hanging from a thread here.
Let's catch Casillas once and for all.
The media outlets await my call.
and I've already faxed
the images and the text.
What do you say?
Let's do it.
Are you still worried?
I don't know how Aurelio will react
when he sees his face on the papers.
Do you fear he'll retaliate?
No.
There's no way he'll pin this on me.
What worries you then?
Losing the goose with the golden eggs?
Daniel, we've got plenty of money
in the Swiss account.
It's not just that, there are
many interests at play.
If nothing changes,
I'll end up being his enemy.
And so?
You've got the army, the government
and the police backing you up.
Come on!
Get away from Casillas now.
No, he's got support too,
from the big cartels that ship
the goods from Colombia.
I don't know how they might react
when they find out I'm exposing Aurelio.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand you.
If you're so afraid,
why did you give that order?
Because I'm more frightened
about what might happen to the country
if we don't stop Aurelio.
Now.
Pour me one.
Pour me one, buddy!
-A drink?
-Yeah!
This man we'll drink it up.
The last one, this is just for men!
-That's fine.
-The last one, right?
Let's see...
-That's it!
-Now you can lay down to rest.
I'm leaving now.
-Good luck!
-I love you all!
-Good night!
-Thank you!
-Go rest!
-Stay in the shade!
That was nice!
Take this, my love.
I thought he'd never leave!
He clung to us the whole day long!
Girls, go to our room and put on
the red thongs, we'll be right over.
Come on!
-The northern tigers!
-That's it!
Hey, stupid!
How do you feel about Casillas?
You want the truth?
I think that's tough.
Why, man?
Why?
If they don't let us do our thing,
what will we do then?
Didn't you see how they
defended Guadalupe?
That's nothing.
He doesn't care about Guadalupe.
I wouldn't have asked him
if I wasn't sure.
Guadalupe's days are numbered, man.
I hope everything works out
with Casillas.
If he goes to the boss...
Bang, bang!
We're dead, man.
Well...
I'll leave this here.
I'll get going, don't want
to eat next to you, man.
Hello.
Where were you?
Having a drink with Monica.
Guess what?
I met the famous Aurelio Casillas.
Is my sister with him?
Of course, doing what you asked.
I didn't ask for anything.
Guadalupe, don't play the fool.
Get a grip!
Your sister is sleeping
with your worst enemy right now.
Aurelio Casillas is laughing about you!
He's humiliating you.
How much longer?
When will you react?
React!
Tell me...
if any of the whores with whom
you cheat on me
can make love to you like that.
My queen, I don't cheat on you.
It's them I cheat on.
And if I have neglected you,
it was just because of business.
Talking about business...
What?
Was the information I gave you
of any use?
I could set up a meeting
with the people in government.
They're very powerful.
Of course, if I did that...
I'd have to ask you to do something
for Guadalupe and me.
No, my queen, we won't talk shop.
Why don't we do
what we came here to do?
There's no room for business
and me here.
Come here.
SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO
Heriberto.
Who's there?
It's me, love.
You...
Why did you dump me at the club?
You'd better leave.
-We could get caught.
-Yes!
That's true, that's scary!
Or are you scared of this?
Let me go!
You'd better leave, auntie.
-This can't happen.
-You're right, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I really screwed up.
But what can I do, love?
Look at how hot you are!
I just saw you lying on your bed...
With the manly body you're getting.
I just couldn't control myself, love.
You've got to stop this.
I love and respect my godfather.
Even if you're hot,
and I'm a man--
And you prove it every second!
You get manlier all the time.
You look more like your dad every day.
Do you know what?
You're right.
I'd better leave.
Go back to sleep.
Excuse me, please.
Goodbye.
MEXICO CITY
It's perfect.
This piece is just what we need.
Nonetheless...
I still think you shouldn't sign it.
Marco, it's too late, the paper
is being printed.
We're all risking our lives.
Leonor, me, Linares...
By the way...
speaking of Leonor and Linares,
when we returned with the wine,
it might be just my imagination,
but I felt the atmosphere was charged.
Charged?
Not at all, we were just talking
about feminine things.
She told me how lonely she's feeling.
How does she handle that?
Does she sleep around
or is she celibate?
I don't know.
But I could find out if you want.
You're so fast!
Why don't you find someone for her?
That would be fine.
But I can't think of anybody...
She's like...
a bit surly, isn't she?
Or is it just me?
She's like that with everybody.
I don't really know her.
We just work together,
work, work, work.
But you and me...
we talk about work,
or not, and we talk other stuff.
Or we just do them, right?
I love how forthcoming you are.
Let's talk very closely...
I love it when you talk
to me that close.
That's the way I like you best.
You make love to me like nobody else.
What are you doing?
I've got to leave,
I have to do business
tomorrow and would like
to sleep a while.
We're not done
talking business, Aurelio.
Maybe next time.
What's up with you?
Who are you going to see?
I won't be just another whore!
You promised you'd help me out
with the family business.
My queen,
don't be anybody’s errand girl.
But tell Guadalupe
that starting tomorrow,
I'll send him an extra 100 kilos.
That's all I can do for you.
Give me a kiss.
Don't be mad!
That was Mejia.
He managed to print a
piece against Casillas
and some pictures in the
papers' morning edition.
That's it.
Go to sleep, you've done your duty.
Relax, Daniel.
Do you love me?
With all my soul, girl.
That's why I protect you, you know?
You won't let anything bad
happen to us, right?
To neither of us.
Do you promise?
I promise.
We'll always be together, right?
Nothing will stand between us.
Is that right?
Nothing.
Nothing, girl.
We are waiting
for Agent Leo Ballesteros.
At your service!
I'm Leonor Ballesteros.
Good afternoon, agent.
And you, Leonor? Do you have a partner,
are you seeing anybody?
No, women like me
can't fall in love, Mejia.
Well...
You might be right...
But you're human and every human being
falls in love, right?
Do you really...
feel safe with me?
Safer than with anybody else.
Leonor, cut the nonsense!
That man doesn't exist for you.
It can't be.
As much as you might like him,
there is no chance.
-Benjumea.
-What?
Did you fall off your bed?
No, Victor, I'm going out for a run.
-At this time?
-Yes.
Are you crazy?
What's happening?
-Do you have insomnia?
-How did it go?
Put an extra 100 kilos
into every shipment for Guadalupe.
That was an expensive lay!
Even more than the one you had?
Sure!
I'll go lie down,
we've got business tomorrow!
Benjumea!
-I'm going for a run.
-Benjumea!
What's wrong?
You can have her if you want.
You'll exercise more with her
than in all the rest of your poor life.
Running is for those who can't get this.
What do you say?
No, I'm leaving.
We're all alone again.
Where were we?
HAS THE LORD OF THE SKIES
COME DOWN TO EARTH?
Chacorta!
Please don't shout.
Are you hung over?
Don't shout!
Boys!
Here I am, boss!
Has Benjumea returned yet?
He hasn't been back.
How's that?
Didn't he leave long ago?
No wonder he's thin!
Let's hope he doesn't disappear
after all that exercise.
Boss,
would you like some breakfast?
-No, thank you, I've got to leave.
-That's fine.
See you!
Don't even think about going out.
What the hell is going on?
Someone explain what's up with this.
Now we're really screwed.
I need you to make all the copies
of that paper disappear.
What are you waiting for?
I need you to gather an army
to deal with that!
Aurelio, that's impossible.
Do you know what that paper's
circulation is?
Do you know how many newsstands
there are in the city?
Give it here.
Two things may happen.
He'll either sue the papers for slander,
and we then reopen the case on him,
or he'll get violent,
and we catch him as soon as he moves.
We need to be alert either way.
We need to double our vigilance.
Don't worry, sir, I'm on that,
everything's ready.
-Perfect.
-Good morning.
What happened, General?
What do you think?
I've read it.
I'm just worried about the Casillas'
reaction towards this.
The piece will appear
in every Mexican newspaper.
Casillas won't be able to move easily
through the country.
And that isn't all, sir.
This is just the first in a series
that will be published during the week.
SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO
The Lord of the Skies
came down to Earth!
THE FACE OF DRUGS IN MEXICO
Give me every single one.
Mom, look! Dad's in the newspaper!
Listen,
it's been a while since we had
a family day.
Would you like to skip school today?
-Yes!
-Alright?
Step on the gas, let's go.
Yes.
Perfect.
Thanks a lot.
They told me the piece also appeared
in Coahuila, Durango and Sonora.
Damn it.
Yes, hello?
Aurelio, how are you?
We've just found out
about what's going on.
Everything's alright, girl.
How are you all doing?
Fine, don't worry about us.
I didn't take the kids to school.
They know us around here.
Don't get stressed, girl.
I'm trying to resolve this.
Goodbye, love.
How many news outlets
are we talking about, Mejia?
General, the piece is
in every Mexican newspaper.
But we've got a meeting tomorrow
with some TV and radio stations.
Hello?
General, it's me, can you talk?
Not right now, I'm rather busy
at the moment.
I can't talk to you.
You can't talk to me?
Don't lie to me!
Have you seen the papers?
Yes.
Can I call you in an hour then?
No, General, we'll deal with this now,
this wasn't planned by some journalist,
this comes from the government!
so tell me who was it,
because I'll deal with him right now!
Tell me!
On the next episode
This is a mess, Benjumea.
I'll go to the Robles, and together,
we'll deal with him.
Dad knows what he's doing.
And he doesn't owe explanations to you
or anybody else!
Of course he does!
I am his wife!
And don't talk to me like that!
What if the boss had found out
about the deal we had with the Robles?
The deal we had? No, the deal we have.
Green light, give them lead!
Her name is Eugenia Casas,
she penned all those pieces about you.
She's married to you favorite pursuer,
Marco Mejia.
As a show of good faith to you, Ramiro,
I'll stop the killing.
