A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
This is horrible.
It's part of the plan.
I wouldn't want to know about your plan, right?
No.
Epigmenio, the problem is that Miguel is not an enemy you can catch.
Did you know Dora and Jorge go to the cemetery every day
to visit Lamberto and Chisca?
That's how to find Miguel.
Just lure him out by taking the only family he has left.
Now, Boss.
Epigmenio!
Put the gun down! Down!
- What's happening? - Get down!
Hands where I can see them!
You're under arrest for drug trafficking,
for the murder of Helena Bernal,
and for aiding and abetting the murder of Natalia Ríos.
Everything you say can be used against you.
- You have the right to a lawyer. - Jorge?
Jorge, honey, calm down. Where are you going?
- And for many other crimes you know about. - Jorge!
- Are Dora and Jorge OK? - Dora and Jorge are OK,
- but there are a lot of policemen. - Let's wait.
Boss, staying can be dangerous.
- Let's wait. - OK, Boss.
Jorge! No, let him go! Don't hurt him!
Jorge, look at me.
Look at me! Calm down!
Relax. It's OK.
They're gone, Boss.
Mrs. Dora and Jorge are fine.
Jorge lunged at Epigmenio, but they stopped him.
- They left him alone, they're fine. - Let's go now.
No one must find out we were here.
Yes, Boss.
Let's go.
Ishiro! Let's go.
PGJ ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
MEXICO CITY
All I want from you is cooperation, Mrs. Moncada.
If you talk to me,
the charges for obstruction of justice may go away.
Those charges are not applicable, Prosecutor, and you know it.
My client has never been a part of her husband's work life.
Therefore, the charges against him
do not apply to her.
Give me a minute.
Will this work?
Yes?
Thank you.
You're free to go, Mrs. Moncada.
- What? - You may go.
Your husband has been arrested. We don't need your testimony anymore.
No, I don't believe you.
You're just saying that to get me to talk.
I don't care if you believe me, ma'am.
Your husband has just been arrested in Ciudad Jiménez.
They're bringing him in in a military helicopter.
When you finally realize this is not a lie,
we'll be locking up your husband.
- But... - But nothing.
I have no use for you.
You may go, whenever you want.
Excuse me.
Relax.
I'll find out about your husband. You go home and don't say anything.
CIUDAD JIMÉNEZ, MEXICO
Duro, what is it?
Pompi, are you at the ranch?
I'm here. Why?
The cops found us!
What? Where?
At the cemetery.
They arrested the boss.
And Los Guachos?
They took off. They left us.
You need to leave the ranch.
The police are probably on their way there.
Let's meet at kilometer 24.
In the clearing near Porvenir.
OK, then. See you there.
We have to get out of Mexico.
They're looking everywhere for us.
Yes. See you there.
Jorge, relax.
I'm here, honey.
Come here.
Have some water.
Here.
Jorge!
Oh, my God!
No! No! No!
Hey, where are you going? There's nothing you can do!
Please.
Epigmenio is going to jail and he'll pay for everything he's done.
But you can't act this way.
- Hello? - Ms. Dora.
- This is Peligros. - Oh, Peligros.
Did you hear about Epigmenio?
That's exactly why I'm calling.
The boss wants to know what happened to Jorge.
He seemed very affected back at the cemetery.
How did you know we were there?
How did you know that Jorge...
Because we were there, too.
The boss was determined to kill Epigmenio, but the military got there first.
Miguel finally wants to do
what he should have done in the first place.
- How is Jorge? - Jorge is fine.
Tell Miguel not to worry.
I'm taking care of him.
Hey, are you staying in Ciudad Jiménez?
No, we're going back to Mexico City now.
And until we know what is going to happen to Epigmenio,
it's better if you stay hidden at the ranch.
Anyway, Sandro and Los Guachos will be there for your safety.
Sandro and Los Guachos were there with Epigmenio.
That was part of the plan, the ambush.
Too bad the police got ahead of you.
Call me when you land in Mexico City.
I will, ma'am. Stay calm, everything will be fine.
- How are they? - Everything's fine, Boss.
Miguel is finally doing what he should've done all along.
He's avenging your grandfather, your sister, and you.
Sit down. Come on.
Relax.
MEXICO CITY
So? What happened?
I made a mistake back there.
What happened with Epigmenio?
We alerted the military and they arrested him.
What? I don't understand.
When Dora called and asked
if General Lino Gómez could inform the authorities
about Sergei's and Andrei's death, we said yes.
Of course. We wanted the news to get out.
Yes, but that took the investigation to Ciudad Jiménez.
And, therefore, they got to Epigmenio before us.
How could I be so stupid?
- We were so close. - "So close" and "not at all"
are the same, Peligros.
Baby, I know that you don't care about what I'm going to say,
but I don't see anything wrong
with Epigmenio going to jail for what he did.
Adela, war mistakes are paid with blood. Epigmenio had to die.
Oh, God.
I swear, I don't understand that Japanese fatalism.
Why do you always have to focus on the bad things? Open your eyes.
Epigmenio lost everything.
He lost his partners, his power, his people, he's going to trial.
For the first time, you and I can restart our lives.
- What else do you want? - You're right.
You don't understand me.
PGJ ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
I'm calling a press conference.
I need you to talk to the warden
to ensure they'll treat Moncada the way they should.
OK, I'll handle it.
I especially want him watched day and night.
He can't escape this time.
Edna, I said, I'll handle it.
Thank you, Gary.
I'm not wearing that garbage.
What did you say?
I'm Epigmenio Moncada.
I'm not wearing that garbage.
I know who you are, but you're not on vacation here.
Put it on. Come on.
You're happy with so little power.
Shut up and hurry.
Let's go. Come on.
Hurry!
Come on.
You know the drill.
Take the picture.
In here, you're nobody, OK? You hear me?
You hear me? You're nobody in here!
So you will behave, understood?
You're going to take the picture,
and you're going to be very still, OK
You know the drill.
Take it.
Turn around.
Let's go see the doctor.
I know you'll like it here.
You're going to make a lot of friends.
Maybe you'll even meet your Prince Charming.
Did you like the exam?
Were his fingers OK?
Where they, princess?
Come on.
I'm glad to inform you that today,
the boss of the Valley Organization, Epigmenio Moncada,
was apprehended in Ciudad Jiménez.
Sleep tight, little princess.
He has already been taken
to a maximum-security prison in Mexico City,
and he will be tried for the crimes he is being accused of,
among which is aiding and abetting the murder of Miss Natalia Ríos...
Let go of me!
...former secretary of Governor Carlos Duarte.
He is also accused of being the mastermind
behind the Desirée Club massacre in Ciudad Jiménez...
Run!
...where, among other people, Helena Bernal was killed.
He is accused of trafficking illicit drugs in and out of our country.
He is accused of planning an attack against reporter Héctor Bernal...
No!
...and financier Miguel Garza.
He is also accused of killing several mob bosses,
among which are the Russians Andrei Sirovna and Sergei Navokov,
Ms. Drenka Petrovic of Serbian origin,
Chinese diplomat Kuang,
and Italian mobster Piero Scarinci, as well as other crimes.
- Prosecutor! - I must say...
I must say that the merits for capturing this criminal
are not exclusive to the Attorney General's Office.
It was a collective effort
in which intelligence services and police forces were involved.
This means we have won a battle
in the war against the criminals who tarnish this country,
but the war goes on.
- Prosecutor! - Yes?
What's the next battle, Prosecutor?
Who's next on the Trafficker Hunter's list?
I can't divulge that kind of information yet.
But I can tell you
that the cooperation of the press was a vital part of this investigation,
especially from one of your coworkers, Héctor Bernal.
TERROR ERA IS OVER
The Mexican drug lord Epigmenio Moncada has been apprehended
in a cemetery in Ciudad Jiménez.
The Attorney General's Office appears to be satisfied,
whereas we still have several questions.
What was Moncada doing in a cemetery at the border? Who was he meeting?
Why did he decide to kill all the mob bosses
allegedly involved in the ephiline business?
Is he the one responsible for the disasters
this drug is causing all over the world?
Will the distribution of this drug stop?
EPHILINE DEALING OUT OF CONTROL
And, most importantly,
who will take his place in the hierarchy of organized crime?
All of these questions will be answered during the trial
of the most famous criminal in our country.
It is a fact now that Héctor Bernal...
WINNER OF BEST REPORTER
...is unrivaled in his nomination for Best Reporter of the Year.
Moving on now...
Honestly, it was weird not seeing you there,
asking the district attorney a question.
It's not like I didn't want to, Miguel,
but I didn't want the DA to start doubting things.
You know her
and, yes, she praises me in public,
but she also wants to make me look bad in front of you.
I knew it.
That woman doesn't miss a chance to pit us against each other.
Hey, you know
I didn't tell her anything about Epigmenio, right?
I know, and I appreciate it, Héctor.
It was my mistake.
I sent the DA to Ciudad Jiménez without realizing.
I mean, it's true that the solution you proposed
wasn't exactly what I wanted, but...
going from there to going behind your back,
I think that's a very big leap, don't you?
Well, no matter how it happened,
I wasn't expecting to get justice for my sister, Helena.
It's time for the people responsible to pay.
You should be feeling this way, too.
I mean, for Chisca.
I'm happy for you, man.
I'll take care of my own wounds in time.
And now it looks like
nobody can compete against you for Reporter of the Year, right?
No, Miguel, that doesn't matter.
I'll be flattered if my work gets recognized, but...
But no.
What really matters is what's behind it.
And the people who give the award don't see it.
Miguel.
Hey, are you OK?
- Why? - I don't know.
You look nervous, distracted.
Shouldn't you be feeling better now that Epigmenio is gone?
Yes, I guess.
Hey, can I give you some advice?
You did everything you could.
There's nothing else now.
So, I suggest you take a break
and take a trip with Adela, go far away and enjoy.
I'll do exactly the same.
Even if I don't get the award.
It doesn't matter.
I'll take my wife and Emilia far away,
on a long vacation.
Maybe you're right, my friend.
Gasoline.
This was intentionally set on fire, clearly.
Are you sure this is the car following you?
Yes.
Yes, it followed me home.
And if it's not the same, it's remarkably similar.
Look, is this the license plate number?
Yes, this is the one.
Have you found any fingerprints?
The specialists found partial fingerprints on the dashboard.
It's the only place the fire didn't reach.
- We're in luck, then. - Let's hope it stays that way.
I'll keep you posted on any developments.
I'll send the license plate number to the database.
OK.
I don't know if that's a good smile or not.
Actually, there's good news and bad news.
Tell me the bad news first.
I could use a happy ending.
Well, the plates on the burned car didn't get us anywhere.
It was a semi-new car dealership.
That was to be expected.
Miguel Garza doesn't make any bad moves.
Or so we thought.
- May I? - Yes.
The good news is we found a partial fingerprint.
Guess whose.
Ishiro Tanaka.
Bodyguard, friend, and right hand of Miguel Garza.
I could kiss you, Gary! Excellent job.
I'll put in a request to interrogate him.
With Ishiro in our grasp,
we'll probably be able to find out where Miguel Garza is hiding.
In fact, you just gave me a great idea to get him out of his cave.
We'll put Ishiro's face everywhere.
He won't get away this time.
For now, I need surveillance at Rancho Garza, in his house,
and in Naga Company's old offices.
If Garza gets within ten blocks of any of those places, I want to know.
- OK, I'll get right on that. - Yes.
I'll send the picture to the media to get it published.
I've been thinking...
- OK? - Now that Epigmenio is in prison
and the new ephiline formula is almost ready,
I'll work on the financial businesses to get everything ready.
Ready for what?
To run the business from the island.
Your island.
Are you serious?
Tadamichi is going to take over the ephiline business
and I will go back to what I did in Japan, financial businesses.
- What? - Do you like my idea?
I love it!
We'll have the life we've always dreamed of.
Thank you, baby.
You're the love of my life.
I can't believe it! I'm so happy!
- Finally. - Yes, finally.
I love you.
- I love you. - I love you, too.
What are you doing?
- I can't believe it. - Me neither.
Is there anybody else in this neighborhood?
It's time to start doing business, don't you think?
What does a man have to do to get a cigarette around here?
Shut up.
Bedtime.
Come on.
Bedtime!
And you...
If I hear you talking again, you're going to be sorry.
You hear me?
Say one more thing, and you'll go straight to solitary.
Come on, get some rest.
You need it.
I was thinking about a house like this one for my grandma.
This way she can have her privacy, but also enjoy the beach.
- What do you think? - Great.
Whatever you want. It's your island.
Sorry to interrupt.
No, don't worry, Ishiro. What's up?
WANTED FOR MURDER OF A PROTECTED WITNESS
AND A CISEN OFFICER
It says they found some fingerprints
in the car that was following Officer Gary Montaner
moments before the murder of a protected witness
and a CISEN officer.
It can't be.
This must be one of Edna's traps.
No, Miguel.
That's the car I used.
Let me see.
"Ishiro Tanaka, of Japan,
bodyguard and personal friend of the renowned financier Miguel Garza."
It's Sayanes.
He probably wants me to handle this.
Answer him, Miguel. He is the future president.
Of course he is, because I got him there.
I'll fix this.
What are you going to do?
I'll turn myself in.
What?
I don't want to make things worse for you, Miguel.
For the both of you.
I made a mistake and I'll pay for it.
You know, Miguel San.
It's a samurai's honor, and I plan on living by it.
No. I'm not going to sacrifice anyone else.
- Miguel... - It's my decision, Ishiro.
We're bonded by the warriors' loyalty and by Chisca.
That bond is forever.
We're at war, Ishiro.
The need for a quick attack.
Who's the target?
Attorney Edna González.
Open up.
Get up, little princess.
You have a visitor.
Come on, it's your lawyer.
Get up. Come on.
Move.
Open up.
How are they treating you?
How do you think?
I need you to make a deal with the guards.
Especially that one, the one who brought me here.
He won't leave me alone.
I'll see what I can do.
I also need cigarettes,
a burner phone, and money to get by in here.
Those requests are not so simple.
What do you mean by that?
Looks like the DA threatened the guards.
Threatened or incentivized?
Whatever.
They won't take bribes.
It was the first thing we tried and it was impossible.
Well, I don't know how you're going to do it.
But it's unbelievable that we can't get the most basic things
in this hellhole.
Epigmenio, you need to understand that that's not my job.
I don't want any more excuses, understood?
Carmen is coming to visit today, too.
I need to know if I can count on you.
You can count on me for whatever you need, man.
- You know that. - I'm with you, Miguel.
We're all with Ishiro.
The four of you stayed loyal through the worst of times.
I'll never forget that.
Now you're part of my family, and you'll be rewarded for that.
We must act quickly.
We're setting a trap for the DA.
Trejo, I need to create new dummy corporations
in the U.S. under the name Edna González and her husband, Mauricio Wagner.
I'll send you encrypted information.
- OK. - Flaco,
we need numbered accounts
in which we will deposit 30 million dollars,
also linked to Edna and Mauricio.
The money must come from Mexico, it must be of dubious origin.
Like bribes, then.
Exactly.
Once it's all set,
I'm going to need you to store all that information in a flash drive.
Remember those toys
where a clown would come out and scare you?
I think I understand.
You want the person who opens that flash drive to find a simple barrier,
but to find information on some of our corporations.
That's right.
But the ones that are closed, or the ones who use clean money.
Remember, access must be encrypted in a way
that allows a CISEN specialist to decode it in a couple hours.
What about the accounts and corporations under the DA's name?
We'll put those in the same flash drive, but on a much deeper level.
They'll think they found the Holy Grail.
That's right.
That level must be a lot harder to access.
Only someone with your experience should be able to decode it, Flaco,
and with a lot of effort.
- Understood? - Yes, sure.
The decoder is going to think they know the whole truth.
Exactly.
You have three hours to do it.
When you're done, Peligros will pick up the flash drive.
We'll get right on that.
Let's do this.
Epi!
What is it? What did you bring me, Carmen?
Nothing.
They took everything at the door. Even my bag.
You're just as useless as the lawyer.
How couldn't you even bring me a pack of cigarettes?
Well, I brought this.
What's that?
It's a sandwich.
I was going to eat it, but the food in here must suck,
so you eat it...
They made me feel so uncomfortable!
It's like they didn't want me to see you.
And they touched me everywhere.
Probably because you were acting like a slut, as usual.
Hey.
Look, I need to find a way to get some things in here.
Epi, you know what I'm worried about?
That all those guys who have beef with you can show up at the house.
What if I leave Mexico?
Yeah? Where would you go?
I don't know.
Overseas to see the kids, or... I know! Paris!
Yes! Why not?
Paris!
You're not going anywhere.
If I hear you're trying to, I'll have you killed, Carmen.
I need you here.
Understood?
OK.
Were you able to reach Pompi or Duro?
Try to find them.
We're going to need their services.
OK?
Yes.
You'd better not try to leave me here because you're going to regret it.
Maybe in here I have nothing,
but I have a lot of contacts on the outside.
Understood?
Good.
Now get out of here.
THREE HOURS LATER
Peligros.
Thank you for doing this.
Look, I may not be a samurai, but I'm Mexican.
I have a code, too.
And in my code, you don't turn your back
on your people and you don't abandon them.
And it's the least I can do to honor Chisca's memory,
God rest her soul.
Let's do this, OK?
Otherwise, we're going to start crying and no one will be able to stop us.
Life goes on, man.
Come on.
I'm going to the main entrance!
So, they broke in here to get something.
It's obvious that the person who did it knew the place well.
Why do you say that?
Because there's no sign of forced entry.
On the contrary, they came straight to this room.
They must be scared to death after seeing Ishiro Tanaka's name
in the newspapers.
They probably came to get whatever evidence was in here.
Look, there's something you need to see.
We found a gun and some papers that probably have fingerprints on them.
And this flash drive.
They didn't take it.
I want to see what's on this flash drive.
- What's up, girl? - Hello, Adela.
Carmen.
Yes, you don't have to lie to me.
I know that's your name, I know who you are.
What do you want?
I need to talk to you.
Can we meet?
What did you find?
We got into the first level of the flash drive.
We mostly found financial information.
- Accounts in the USA... - Nothing on ephiline?
No, but clear money laundering connections.
The problem is that most of the information
is on a much deeper level of the flash drive.
The encryption is much more advanced there.
Right, he won't make it easy for us.
I'll call Howard.
He probably has people who can decode it.
OK.
If we don't get Garza as a mobster and murderer,
we'll get him for financial fraud.
Yes, that's it.
That's it. Excuse me.
Edna, please, tell me you have good news.
I'm actually hoping you do.
We found a flash drive in Miguel Garza's office,
and it appears to have delicate information.
Besides, the companies are in the U.S., so it's your jurisdiction.
That's like music to my ears.
I think it's time we work together to put Miguel Garza behind bars.
What do you say?
- Nothing would make me happier. - Great.
The problem is we have only been able to access the first level.
- The rest has very advanced encryption. - Don't worry about that.
What matters is acting quickly,
before they find out we have that information
and close accounts and companies and we're left with nothing.
I'll send you the flash drive as soon as possible.
No!
Don't take your eyes off that flash drive.
Miguel Garza is resourceful.
You're right.
I'll go there myself.
Thank you, Edna.
How did you know?
It was Lobo.
He followed me.
Who cares? He found out and he told me.
Why didn't you tell Epigmenio?
You're not going to believe this,
but you're the only friend I've had in many years.
And I don't know, I was stupid enough to like you.
Carmen, what am I doing here? Why am I here?
I'm scared. I didn't know who else to call.
- Scared? - Yes.
I'm alone with no protection, my husband doesn't care about me, and...
And well, I called you because...
Because I want to know if Miguel is going to kill me.
Oh, no.
Adela, this is no laughing matter.
Carmen, I'm sorry, but Miguel is not at all like Epigmenio.
He wouldn't lay a finger on you, so don't be afraid.
Well, maybe I shouldn't be worried about Miguel,
but what about Epigmenio's enemies?
My kids are abroad and I want them to stay there,
I want them to be safe.
And as ridiculous as it sounds,
you're the only person I can trust.
Given the circumstances,
I think it's very clear that I can't offer you my friendship.
But I'm being serious,
call me if you ever need anything.
And I promise I'll talk to Miguel so nobody hurts you, so relax.
Thank you.
Edna, meet Turner.
He's one of the most experienced hackers in the world,
and he's been working with me on the Miguel Garza case,
so he's familiarized with the information.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Turner.
It's my pleasure.
This is the flash drive they found in Miguel Garza's office.
We need to decode the information as soon as possible.
ENCRYPTED PROGRAM
This encryption is the work of a professional, no doubt.
They don't want anyone to see what's in there.
We need to find it now.
It'll take some time, but I think I can do it.
Time is the least thing we have.
Well, let's get to work.
MEXICO CITY
Dad is never going to agree to move the product,
no matter what I say or do.
I have no choice but to kill him.
I already had someone set a bomb.
I have no choice but to kill him.
I already had someone set a bomb.
Honey, can we talk? Are you busy?
- Listen. - What?
I have no choice but to kill him.
I already had someone set a bomb.
- Did you hear it? - Miguel,
why are you listening to this? It's bad for you.
Listen to the last part.
I already had someone set a bomb.
- I still don't get it. - There's something in this recording.
There's a noise in the last part.
I already had someone set a bomb.
I'm not sure.
Something's off, right?
What's up, man?
Flaco, I need you to do me a favor.
- It's something personal. - Of course, that's what family is for.
What is it?
FORTY-EIGHT HOURS LATER
Other systems are way behind on what this person did.
It's fascinating.
I'm glad you found the virtual love of your life, Turner,
but there's a reason why we're here.
Yes. Sorry.
Inside, I found evidence of financial crimes on U.S. soil.
- Accounts, dummy corporations. - Miguel Garza?
The corporations are only connected to Edna González and Mauricio Wagner.
- The DA and her husband? - Of course not!
That can't be.
Edna is one of the most honest people I know.
I've known her for more than ten years.
Apparently, you don't know her at all, Howard.
Sir, this can't be. It makes no sense. She's very honest.
Why would Edna give us a device that compromises her?
- It... - I don't know, Howard.
But your job isn't defending her, it's arresting her.
Cheer up, man.
You didn't catch Garza, but this is a big accomplishment.
MEXICO CITY
You were right, man. That recording is totally fake.
- I knew it. - The recording starts fine,
the first part doesn't seem to have any inconsistencies.
The phrase "Dad is never going to agree to move the product"
was said just like that.
But the part where he says, "I have no choice but to kill him,"
those are two different phrases put together.
The words "kill him" have a different sound texture.
The last one too, "I already had someone set a bomb."
That one is made up of many different recordings.
It's like Frankenstein.
You OK, man?
Yes.
Yes, I'm OK, Flaco.
Thank you.
No problem.
What's up, little princess?
Why so lonely?
You have a visitor.
Come on.
Look who came to visit.
