A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Good evening, Mr. Howard, Mrs. Nora.
Hello.
I came to keep you company, so we can have a pleasant time,
the three of us.
Mr. Miguel Garza called me, he sent me.
But don't worry, your secret is safe with Miguel,
and with me, of course, I'm a professional.
If you want, so we can be more relaxed, I brought a bottle of...
You know what? Go away.
- Uh, I'm also good at... - Get out!
MEXICO CITY
We already got Miguel's instructions.
We're all ears.
We're going to invest down on Sunny's shares.
And what is investing down?
It's betting that a company's shares will drop.
OK, then, it's not certain.
- Well... - Well, something tells me they will.
Just like in all of Miguel's cases, brother.
If the shares go down, we'll make money.
And what happens if the shares go up?
We'll lose, but that won't happen.
There's a reason why Miguel asked us to download all their premieres.
And now, he'll ask us to make them go viral everywhere.
Uh-huh.
So people can watch the movies from their computers
or from the comfort of their phones.
That way they won't pay for movie tickets.
- Exactly. - That's right.
Sunny's shares drop, they lose a ton of money and we win.
Hey, Flaco, you're dying to watch Lifesavers 2, right? By Curiel?
Oh, baby. I prefer Scorsese.
Imagine we could change the endings of movies.
You're a genius.
People are excited to see these premieres and we'll give them to them.
We?
Well, you, the experts.
Well, let's give them entertainment.
- Miguel! - Howard!
- What a surprise, we meet again. - You've sunk very low.
- It wasn't your type. I thought... - You're playing with fire.
That's how you thank me for my presents?
You thought I was going to catch you, so you had to get into my private life.
This could stay between us.
Who cares about my sexual life?
I don't know, maybe the old-fashioned director of the IRS does,
he doesn't agree with your modern practices,
or am I wrong?
Let me remind you that in this country, you can't get fired over your beliefs
or your sexual preferences.
I thought you were aiming to something else, maybe a promotion.
Forget about me already.
You have a lot more people you should be going after.
I'll drag you to jail with my own hands, you'll see.
It's a senseless hunt.
It'll make sense when you beg me not to take you.
Alright, then we'll meet again.
Don't even doubt it. You've made a huge mistake, Miguel.
Oh, yeah? Enlighten me, please.
You made this personal.
Oh, come on. Seriously?
I promised your brother I'd organize that meeting in Madrid with my partners.
- And just how urgent is it? - Very.
- Can't you just arrange it by phone? - No, it's important.
But, well, nobody said you had to stay here alone, right?
What do you mean?
Why don't you come to Madrid with me?
- Really? - Of course.
Well, my flight is in a few hours, yeah, but...
tomorrow, you could catch me up.
- Yeah? - I love it.
And I love that you love it.
What did the doctor say?
That I'm pretty recovered. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
That's good.
Rosario keeps getting me fatter,
like a pig, in front of the TV.
I missed your voice already.
- Only my voice? - Miguel, can you come for a moment?
Speaking of voices, I heard that...
drunk woman. That's the Russian woman, right?
We're in a meeting.
With suits and ties or wet shirts?
No, Adela, don't start.
I have a very big imagination, what can I do?
For instance, I can't stop thinking about...
Did you sleep with her?
- No, Adela, no. - Alright.
I'm just looking after the merchandise.
Hey, when do you go home?
I have to go to Spain.
What?
Just like that, without coming home?
At least come change your underpants!
I can survive with the same luggage, don't worry, thanks.
You know what?
I can't stop thinking about everything we did in Miami,
even though it wasn't all fun, you know?
I promise you, as soon as we can, we'll travel together again.
I say we should go to Vanessa Montés' house.
Oh, OK.
Well, wherever you want.
Well, I have to go.
Hey, will you spend a lot of days in Spain?
Probably.
Oh, well.
We'll see each other again in 30 more kilograms.
- Kisses. - Goodbye, Adela.
Can I ask what you talk about with your former driver
and why you laugh so much?
It has nothing to do with our business.
Let's go.
MEXICO CITY
Guys, we're ready.
- Green light. - Are they already on the sites?
- Ready. - Whenever you say, Flaco.
We'll make these movies go viral everywhere,
even at the towns that only have a little shop, OK?
Three, two, one.
- Go! - Let's start.
It's a ton of movies.
Awful ones, at that.
They're awful for you, but people already started torrenting them.
This is looking good, huh?
Let's go to social media, my dear trolls.
OK, do you want me to post the comment now?
Yes, now.
What movie do we spread first?
Your favorite one, Lifesavers 2.
After that, comedies and cartoons.
Uploading magnet torrents to make it more direct.
That's all.
LOS ANGELES, USA
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
600,000 downloads.
Lifesavers 2 has autonomy now. Let's go for the others.
- Are you kidding? - I told you that director was good
- and you ignored me. - Haven't watched his movies.
PARIS, FRANCE
BANGKOK, THAILAND
BERN, SWITZERLAND
Four million downloads.
- Huh? For real? - No way!
No way.
There are no statements about the hacking of the film studio, Sunny,
one of the most important studios in the world.
For now, authorities are investigating this unprecedented incident,
which has caused their most anticipated movies to go viral,
such as The Tank and Lifesavers 2.
The studio is expected to report millions of dollars in losses
after the sabotage,
as major distributors around the world have started to cancel their contracts.
Well, of course, who would want to pay for movie tickets
when you can watch the premieres in your living room?
Gentlemen, Sunny's shares haven't dropped.
- Huh? - But that can't be.
No, look, dude, wait, I don't understand.
But we made them lose a lot of money, how?
Well, they haven't dropped. In fact...
they didn't just drop, they plummeted to the subsoil.
This means bankruptcy for them.
And a fortune for us.
Yes, I have to admit, Miguel is a genius.
And just wait for Prisma Productions to start operating.
We'll make great businesses.
I'm not going back to Mexico,
so I want you to take the ephiline prototype to Spain.
Take care of it like your own life.
That was impressive, hey, like straight out of a movie.
Miguel?
What Miguel has is a very good eye, at the right time.
I call it opportunity,
that's what you're going to look for now in Madrid,
opportunities.
You already know, Edgar, this moment doesn't rest.
Speaking of which, turns out Miguel is asking me for a contact,
in the south of Spain.
Can you help me with that?
The south of Spain...
I have a good friend, but he's in Seville.
What kind of business does he need exactly?
Well, he's looking to buy some land or some vineyards, or a factory,
somewhere he can hide the ephiline, without suspicions.
Chiclana, Paco Chiclana.
- I'll get you the contact right now. - Immediately.
Hey, have you ever thought that,
when the ephiline starts being sold,
the financial business will look extremely small
compared to the profit these goods will bring?
That's what they say.
I hope they'll let me try a little bit of it first.
Yes.
Where?
See you.
Miguel won't believe this news when I tell him.
You won't guess who just gave me a call.
I must admit, your call surprised me, I didn't expect it.
I'm glad you came.
Of course.
I'm just like you, a gentleman, first and foremost.
I've thought things over a little.
What a coincidence.
And did you think about them before or after Sunny became a failure?
It's unbelievable. I still can't believe it.
I understand how the entertainment business is,
you wake up in the morning
and you're almost the king of the world,
and by night, you suck.
I've considered your proposal.
Huh, don't you say!
What a coincidence,
I've reconsidered the offer I made you.
I need the job.
I have more expenses than I can pay for
and unfortunately, my future projects were canceled.
Armandito, my brother, don't worry!
Look, for Prisma Productions,
you'll always be a very, very interesting piece.
Then, I accept.
Hold on.
I said you were a very interesting piece,
but not as valuable anymore.
Tell me.
My partners and I have thought about offering you 25 % of the initial offer.
Twenty-five percent? But that's too little!
No, you don't get it, my brother.
Look, we respect your talent and career a lot,
but, as you'll understand, after your refusal,
we didn't have any other choice than hiring the most popular actress
at the moment.
Look, she's beautiful, talented, and it's costing us a fortune.
But the initial offer was twice of what I was being paid, I don't und...
Yes, I know, look, I'm really sorry I wasted your time
because I'm convinced that, right now,
you're getting more offers knocking at your door.
Maybe next time.
Wait.
Let me give it some thought.
MEXICO CITY
You haven't left yet and I already miss you.
You think I won't miss you?
I'll be counting the hours and minutes.
I'll get there as soon as I finish packing.
OK, but, please, don't pack the whole house.
- No! - OK?
And what's your deal? You want a kiss too, huh?
Hey! Come on, leave him alone!
- Come on. - OK.
I'll see you soon. I love you, my girl.
Gorgeous.
Don't you ever get tired of following me everywhere?
It's my job.
OK, but I know you'll miss me.
I won't miss you.
OK, how upfront.
I won't miss you because I'll travel to Madrid with you.
What?
AGO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
Hey, good strategy, Edna.
A spy in Miguel's team.
You heard right,
and he's cooperating as he should.
Right now, I have valuable information on my hands.
Well, I'm listening.
Miguel is buying light aircrafts.
- Are you sure? - I'm certain.
And you?
Did you manage to break into his computer system?
No.
Only on a surface level, but I trust Turner a lot,
he's an expert, he worked for the CIA, he's very good.
It's a job that requires a lot of patience.
Garza can't find out.
Of course, but we can't be careless.
I like this thorough job that we're doing.
Well, I'm not going anywhere.
See you later, Dora.
- Where are you going? - I'm going out,
I need to get some fresh air.
- That's what the yard is for. - No.
Not that, no, I need people, noise, cars, life.
But you can't go out!
Don't worry.
Look at me, I'm as good as new.
- But they're your doctor's orders. - The doctor said I had to move,
and the only exercise I get is rolling down the stairs like a pig.
I need to go out.
OK, but Peligros has to take you, you can't drive.
You can't!
Alright.
Peligros!
Yeah?
- Will you take me? - My pleasure.
Thanks. See you later.
Take her wherever she wants,
but don't take your eyes off of her.
Alright. Are you worried, ma'am?
No, just look after her.
OK.
CIUDAD JIMÉNEZ, MEXICO
It's a gem, sir.
It meets all the necessary requirements, you know?
You know what's the best? It's one of the fast ones.
Light, maximum carrying capacity,
and above all, very good flight range, right?
You're going to cross the frontier like a thunderbolt.
I'll cross straight through it, my friend.
Hey, bring me the briefcase, we'll pay in cash.
- Yes, sir. - Go get the briefcase,
I'll wait for you here.
MEXICO CITY
Well, yeah, I think he was from Ciudad Jiménez.
And you saw that famous Gato again after the bomb?
- He went to see me at the hospital. - What's with that?
I saw him before everything happened.
He told me he knew where we could find Epigmenio,
but of course, he asked me for money in exchange.
- Did you give him money? - No, man, I didn't have any.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I didn't have at the moment, but I told him I'd give it to him later.
Then, I didn't see him anymore.
And why did he know you were in the hospital?
I have no idea.
That's weird.
If that Gato's telling the truth,
Epigmenio is a more aggressive dog than we thought.
Killing his own friend.
- What do you mean his own friend? - Don't you get it?
No, tell me more.
It's a really old story.
Mr. Roberto,
Mr. Miguel's dad,
and Epigmenio were best friends.
When I inherit the business, things are going to change.
Cheers, mate.
They dreamed of the same things.
They wanted to turn El Salado into a powerful organization.
If they were good friends, then why would he kill him?
Who knows what goes through Epigmenio's head.
And Dora still doesn't believe he killed him, imagine.
Well, who knows, but look,
all of that is buried now, it's in the past.
No, Peligros, I think it's more alive than ever.
Mr. Lamberto forbade us from talking about the matter, and, look...
my lips are sealed.
Well, then, Adela,
your grandma is waiting for you there and I'll be right here.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
I'd like to personally thank you for this favor.
You don't have to thank me, Karina, it was good business for both of us.
Do you plan on staying in Miami?
No, I'll leave today.
I imagine you're in a hurry to go to Mexico.
I'll fly straight to Madrid.
It'll be a pleasure to have you around.
With opportunities like this, there's no reason to be away.
Well, now that we're all gathered here,
I didn't want the party to end without thanking Prisma Productions,
for placing all their trust in me.
I'm 100% confident that this movie will be a total success,
and not only because Prisma decided to go all out,
but also because I'll have the chance to share the screen
with one of the most important actors at the moment:
Mario Romo!
- Let's give him a round of applause! - Bravo!
Well, of course, Armando Ruiz will have a small role too,
but, oh, well, I imagine he's already used to it.
So, raise your glasses in a toast to this new adventure!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
MEXICO CITY
Well, I'm glad it ended well, the thing about Víctor,
though, poor guy, he's really down in the dumps.
Well, yeah.
The truth is, the last thing I wanted was to hurt him,
but I can't be in a relationship with him while having feelings for Miguel.
But?
When it comes to Miguel, I can't see clearly, grandma, I can't!
If he said he loves you, it's not just because.
He comes and says he loves me, then he goes to Miami,
then he goes who knows where to clear his head.
That's what they're calling it now, clearing his head.
No, that's a phrase that men have always used
when they don't know if they want to commit or not.
I doubt my grandpa ever said something like that to you.
Oh! He left many times to "clear his head."
Are you serious, Grandma?
"Clear his head." Yes.
The truth is...
I don't know, I'm scared he'll forget about me someday.
No, don't even worry about that.
The problem is that he has to accept what he's feeling.
He has to forget about his things, and he has to open up.
The rest is not important.
Since when are you such a philosopher?
Oh, my girl.
Well, since a friend here gifted me a self-help book.
They're really good.
Gotta move forward.
It also taught you to knit, or what?
I've never seen you pick up a needle.
- What are you doing? - Well...
she wants to teach me, but to be honest, I prefer to read, yes.
- Then, read. - Yes, thank you.
Yes, I better do that.
MADRID, SPAIN
There's something I don't understand.
Why the anonymous call to the prosecutor?
Miguel is a rational man, it's very hard to throw him off balance.
Thanks.
That's why you have to give him trouble from time to time,
- difficulties that will push him... - To make a mistake.
Touché.
I've talked to my partners in Calabria.
The expectations about the new business are high.
It's only natural,
You hardly ever have the opportunity to invest
in a product that'll revolutionize the world.
Expectations are as high as the anxiety.
Are you sure he'll bring the prototype?
- He said so himself. - Will you be able to steal it from him?
I mean, if he's as conscientious as you say.
Calm down, mate, I know what I'm doing.
Why do you think I brought the sister?
MEXICO CITY
I'll miss you. Take care of yourself.
And you better not get married in Madrid,
because I know you as if I were your mother
and had given birth to you, you know?
I'll give you a huge party, it'll last three days,
with a band and everything, you'll see.
Hey, what's wrong?
Nothing.
I don't want you to go so far away.
I'll miss you too, dummy.
Come here.
Shiro, ready, let's go.
There, there, come here.
Light aircrafts?
- How many? - Three, Boss.
So Zaragoza wants to fly over the border to expand the business?
Well, all signs point to yes, Boss.
Alright.
Go back to Ciudad Jiménez,
but keep an eye out, and let me know if anything happens.
Yes, sir.
Lobo, you're doing pretty well.
Keep it up and I'll consider you to take Tacho's place.
- Thank you, Boss. - Get yourself a safe house
in Ciudad Jiménez, I want to go for a stroll over there.
Go.
Aventour.
It's a company where Miguel Garza's investments are managed.
It's a company registered to offer tourism services in Panamá.
Then it wouldn't be weird for them to buy aircrafts.
Right.
But they bought them from different dealers.
Yes, that's unusual,
and it matches up perfectly with the information that Edna gave me.
Apparently, one of Miguel Garza's associates in Ciudad Jiménez
needs to acquire light aircrafts.
I'll see what else I can find out.
We're close, we're very close.
MEXICO CITY
Wait, let me try again.
Something's wrong with you, Jorge. What's up?
It's Chisca, she went to Madrid.
- And you're going to miss her. - Yes, obviously, but...
it's not that, it's...
I don't like her boyfriend.
- So, you're jealous too? - It's not jealousy, really.
- There's something about him... - Something...
like what?
Something sinister, like fake.
You know? I don't know, I don't like him.
Jorge, the one who has to like him is Chisca, not you.
For real, you look at him, and...
I don't know, he's not transparent like you are.
You get me?
Well, I...
She should, I don't know, look for a beautiful love, like ours,
or find another boyfriend, right?
I don't know.
Does this bother you?
No.
This will be the first time we'll sleep together, Shiro.
On the plane, I mean, it was a joke.
What do you want, Howard?
Sir, I need your permission to travel to Panama.
What's the reason?
I'm after a clue.
A clue? About what?
About the financial movements of Miguel Garza.
I told you not to waste any more resources on that matter.
You did say so, sir, but things have changed.
I was contacted by the prosecutor Edna González.
I remember her. The one from the Berenson case.
That's her. She's also after Miguel,
and she gave me information we should take into consideration.
OK, she's a very serious woman.
Absolutely, she gave me a hard lead.
What kind of lead?
A company that does money laundering.
And is located in Panama.
The idea is to charge Miguel Garza with tax fraud
and detain him when he touches American ground again.
Sir, I wouldn't be asking you for authorization
if I didn't know we were after something concrete.
All right, having prosecutor González's backing us is a guarantee.
Go.
Thank you so much. I'll bring you results, you'll see.
I hope so.
MADRID, SPAIN
Thank you.
Let's make a toast, gentlemen.
To the pleasure of gathering together the two most successful men
that I've met in my life.
- Salute. - Salute.
Valentín has told me a lot about you, Miguel.
I hope he didn't say too much.
Miguel is worried about me talking about his private life
from when we were at university.
No, he's only told me about the business that you want to bring to Europe,
and I have to say, I've been looking forward to meeting you.
He's said good things about you and your associates too.
I'm sure we can form a good collaborative group.
Gentlemen, please, stop praising each other.
Let's talk about business.
Of course. Now, tell me...
what is your production plan, your distribution plan?
Simple. The production will be in China and the product will come by ship.
And that's where we come in. We manage all the ports in Europe.
Having access to ports like Gioia Tauro's is crucial for us.
What are you offering in exchange?
A part of the business, of course.
Of course. I've talked to my soci.
- My, uh... partners, is it? - Partners.
They'll probably want to try the product.
That's understandable.
But, unfortunately, it's a unique formula and I can't take the risk.
Do you need any other guarantee?
No.
In that case, Valentín is guarantee enough.
- I'll talk to my partners. - Excellent.
- Salute. - Salute.
Now presenting...
Chisca Garza!
Of course!
- How are you? - Good. How was the flight?
Good, I didn't even notice, I was asleep the whole time.
This guy? I don't think he sleeps.
Your rooms are reserved already, we have to go get the keys.
Oh, OK, great.
Right away, because I'm dying to take a bath right now.
- Is there a problem? - Nothing.
- Let's go! - I'm coming.
Thank you, good job.
I'll take care of hiding it.
CIUDAD JIMÉNEZ, MEXICO
- To Panama? - Yes, to Panama.
It's the best opportunity I've had since I started following
Miguel Garza's financial movements,
but this time I'll be there in person.
And you think that's a good idea? I mean, after all that happened.
If that Miguel Garza guy exposes our sexual life,
- forget about the promotion. - He won't dare.
Oh, after everything you told me, you think he won't dare?
Look, after the accurate blow I'm going to give him,
he'll have nothing against us.
Are you sure?
I'm sure that I'll find the key I need for this case in Panama.
Look, woman, come here, look at me.
Miguel Garza won't be my downfall, on the contrary,
he'll be what I need to reach the top, I assure you.
For the time being, please, be discrete.
No games, none of that stuff.
We'll see later when Miguel Garza is in prison.
OK.
- Have a good trip. - See you.
Bye.
MADRID, SPAIN
- Chisca is coming now. - And where are you going?
Wherever you go.
Uh, look, Iris, uh, what's your name?
- Ishiro. - Ishiro.
I'm going out with my girlfriend.
The last thing I want is have you glued to my ass.
I'm only following orders.
Very good, good boy,
because that's precisely what I'm giving you, an order.
I follow Miguel's orders, not yours.
I'd already forgotten how stubborn Japanese people are.
But you know what?
This is my city,
and it'll be very easy for me to get rid of you.
Wow!
You look gorgeous, honey!
Come on, come down.
Did you see how beautiful my fiancée looks, Ishiro?
Pretty, isn't she?
Look at you, please.
So pretty!
Come here.
How gorgeous!
So gorgeous!

ABIA SUPPLIER OF FOOD CONSUMABLES
Good afternoon.
- What's up? - Welcome, Boss.
Everything is ready, and nobody will find out you're here.
Good.
MADRID, SPAIN
MAFIAS' CONTACT IN SPAIN
How's the good Samuel?
I haven't seen the bastard in an eternity.
Fine, he's fine.
He helps me with my business in Miami. He's spoken very well of you.
Sure!
The two of us have the intention of being good people but in practice...
Hey, dude! Bring me another glass of wine, will you?
- Make it two! - No, I'm still drinking this one.
Well, that's perfect, but who said the second one is for you?
OK.
Well, alright. So, how can I help you?
What I need are legal partners.
So, I get the most boring part of the job.
But don't worry, because you say the magic word here,
and everyone wants in.
Everyone?
Everyone.
- Thanks so much, wonderful. - Thank you.
You know something, buddy?
I like you, so if you want to look for warehouses on my land,
you can count on me.
A toast to that.
PANAMA CITY, PANAMA
Officer, give me the order, please.
I need to go to Aventour before they start suspecting.
I already told you I can't, the judge has to sign it first.
Don't you understand?
This company is only the tip of the iceberg.
It's a major fraud involving several shell companies
that belong to this international criminal.
- I'll offer you a coffee. - What do you mean?
Look, please, I already told you I need to leave as soon as possible...
I told you I can't give you anything if it's not signed by the judge.
And the judge already knows...
He understands the seriousness of this matter, the urgency of the case.
I'm sure he does, Mr. Toledo,
but look, the judge hasn't been around here all day,
and if he's not here, I can't do anything.
Look, please, call him, tell him I'm here, waiting.
Well, here's the judge's order, we have to leave right now.
We have a lot of things to do.
Things to do? You're not doing anything!
Alright, if you want me to call the people in Miami, I'll do it,
so they can give you the order directly, right?
And what do you intend to find here?
Wait.
Leave that in my hands.
Guys, the gringo here thinks
he'll dismantle a network of money laundering.
Well, do you want me to bring the judge?
Move! Get to work for the gringos, as usual.
Done?
MADRID, SPAIN
Burgos' blood sausage, Miguel, rice blood sausage.
Thank you.
My father had a little house in Burgos when I was little.
We'd go there, in summer, you know, for vacations.
And there was a cook
that'd make the best Burgos' blood sausage,
and she was gorgeous.
She had such talent.
Wonderful.
And I was just a boy, I was...
I didn't know anything about life, I was 15 years old.
Wish I could be that kid again, Miguel.
But now that I'm 25 years old...
- Well, let's go, we've drunk enough. - Yes.
Well.
- Let's go. - How wonderful.
- What? - How wonderful.
- You're drunk, huh? - Well, not too much.
MEXICO CITY
Ma'am, do you need anything?
No, thanks, Peligros.
Hey, where did you take Adela?
I took her to the nursing home, to visit her grandma,
and then I brought her back.
Thank you.
Ma'am, something is going on with Ms. Adela,
she told me about Epigmenio and what she's investigating.
Do you want me to do something about it?
Do you know the way back?
Miguel, I'm like an old horse, I can only find the stable.
Plus, at home, I have some brandy...
That's what makes you...
- Are you OK? - Yes, and you?
I'm great. Who are these people?
Inexperienced thieves.
We gave them a beating. Let's go, before the cops arrive.
Let's get out of here!
I'll tell you what, this is for a lifetime, you know?
You will be my buddy forever.
Let's go!
Let's go, the police are coming.
PANAMA CITY, PANAMA.
Let's go!
You've made a grave mistake, Miguel.
Oh, yeah? Enlighten me, please.
You made this personal.
