El Ejecutor (2010)

1. Mafia is not what it used to be.

2. Anyone calls himself a drug lord now.

3. Anyone has access to sell drugs,

4. kidnap people, claim a territory,

5. and kill people in cold blood for a few dollars.

6. There used to be codes of honor between drug traffickers;

7. the only business was moving and selling drugs;

8. retailers were charged

9. for their right to sell in their stores,

10. and accounts were settled

11. with those who tried to outsmart the cartel.

12. The most important thing is that family,

13. women and children were always respected.

14. Now, it's the age of sicarios,

15. bloodbaths, kidnappings, and mass executions;

16. executions which are full of violence and sadism,

17. executions in the middle of the street,

18. where the only thing that matters

19. is that the message is received by the adversary.

20. There's no ethics, no considerations.

21. And the life of an innocent person

22. is worth less than nothing.

23. Nowadays, when hitmen are vicious and bloodthirsty,

24. the only thing that matters, the only thing that counts,

25. is having the best of executioners

26. on your side.

27. Because otherwise,

28. sooner or later you will become his victim.

29. "THE EXECUTIONER"

30. I don't know anything.

31. Of course you know, motherfucker.

32. I don't know shit, man.

33. Talk, man, it's good for you.

34. It's been a while since I last worked for them.

35. Who the fuck does this son of a bitch think I am?

36. Does he think I'm stupid?

37. We're gonna have to blow his brains out.

38. No, dude, a fucking leg.

39. I know you're not working for them,

40. but I also know you know where they are.

41. Cut the bullshit, bro.

42. 100 kilos can't go unnoticed, asshole.

43. I swear.

44. So?

45. What do you say, Montana?

46. What do you say, 3?

47. A foot or a hand?

48. Let's make it a hand, dude.

49. Alright, guys, more chow for the mutts.

50. Your time is over, fucker.

51. Come on, dude.

52. Get on the table saw.

53. Let's go, fucker.

54. Let's go, fucker!

55. I don't know anything, I don't—

56. Shut up!

57. He didn't know anything, huh?

58. You know what, guys?

59. I'm beginning to think

60. that maybe this dude didn't know anything.

61. I think he didn't.

62. He's dog food now anyways.

63. Yeah, he is.

64. Bring the next one.

65. Guys, the next one.

66. Move!

67. Move!

68. Here he is, Montana.

69. He's all yours.

70. Montana, do you want me to soften him up for you?

71. Listen, motherfucker, you either talk

72. or the same thing is gonna happen to you.

73. Listen, we're looking for the Ayalas.

74. We know they are up to something.

75. Are you going to tells us?

76. Or are you going to play the smartass,

77. like your friend over there?

78. No, man, I don't know anything.

79. All I have is a phone number.

80. Maybe that's good?

81. No, it's no good.

82. You're going to take us there.

83. That's it, folks.

84. I can't walk any farther.

85. It's a pretty steep hill.

86. You have to exercise your ass, brother.

87. That's okay.

88. This is the right place to hit them.

89. They won't take long.

90. A pickup is coming.

91. Get that motherfucker on the ground.

92. Get him on the ground.

93. Fuck, I can't recognize any of them.

94. Those fuckers are the buyers.

95. Keep an eye out, guys.

96. We have to wait for those cocksuckers.

97. We're ready.

98. Look at that, man.

99. It looks like it's the Ayalas.

100. Hell yeah, dude, it's them.

101. It's them.

102. Right on time for their date with death.

103. They have no idea

104. what they're getting themselves into.

105. Look.

106. They're here.

107. You said they wouldn't come.

108. I've heard rumors that they lost men.

109. Those are just rumors.

110. We have everything under control.

111. Alright, guys. Be careful.

112. Destroy them, 7.

113. - Let's take cover. - Yeah.

114. They brought a grenade launcher, brother!

115. Split up, or they're gonna kill us all.

116. 7, throw a grenade at them so they know what's good.

117. Take cover, fuckers!

118. You fucked with your mother, cocksucker.

119. Alright, Montana.

120. They're all down.

121. What are we waiting for?

122. We have to pick up the merchandise and the money

123. before someone gets here.

124. You guys take care of that.

125. I have more important things to do.

126. Alright.

127. Say hello to the boss.

128. Of course. Let's go.

129. 7, 4, bring that motherfucker here.

130. Get up, fucker.

131. Let's go.

132. Sir, the Ayala brothers...

133. we've dispatched them to hell.

134. Mission accomplished.

135. I know that.

136. News travel fast.

137. Now tell me, did you get back the merchandise and the money?

138. Boss, that question is kind of offensive.

139. Wanna check?

140. That's not necessary.

141. Congratulations. Good job.

142. Montana's method is quite effective,

143. and quite sinister.

144. This will teach all those who want to get in our territory.

145. That's the idea.

146. No one should leave their cage.

147. Now, guys, bring a bottle.

148. We're going to celebrate.

149. It's a deal, boss.

150. I'll take care of that.

151. Hey, what's up?

152. Not much.

153. I want to see you.

154. Come to my place.

155. That's why I couldn't find you.

156. Look, these are the bills you asked for.

157. Thanks.

158. Keep the change.

159. Well, I'm not your errand girl.

160. But I'll hold you to that.

161. Thanks.

162. Hey.

163. I was thinking, there's a concert next weekend;

164. why don't we go dancing?

165. Dancing?

166. Aren't you scared?

167. I can't.

168. I have to work.

169. Don't tell me you're going to work.

170. You hardly ever go out.

171. Come on. You'll clear your mind.

172. No, I can't.

173. Okay.

174. I know you don't like going out.

175. What do you do for fun, then?

176. Listen, girl, don't ask...

177. It's better that way.

178. Fine, don't tell me.

179. But I know you like me;

180. I've seen the way you look at me.

181. Why won't you go out with me?

182. Why won't you say something?

183. Listen, I'll tell you this only once,

184. I do like you a lot.

185. But the things I do... won't allow you to be near me;

186. it's too dangerous.

187. So, please leave, and never come back again.

188. Are you forgetting we're neighbors?

189. You can't tell me that.

190. You know well what I mean.

191. Is that what you want?

192. Definitely.

193. Alright, I'll leave.

194. Suit yourself.

195. Sir, we need to talk to you.

196. What's going on, guys?

197. It's very important.

198. Princess, let me be alone with these gentlemen.

199. Take a seat.

200. Well, let's listen to that important thing.

201. Some friends of us were kidnapped,

202. apparently by people from this area.

203. Are they dead?

204. No.

205. I don't think so.

206. They haven't shown up.

207. I think someone wanted to steal from them.

208. Do you suspect anyone?

209. Well...

210. the only one who could've dared is Pedro.

211. You know he has been keeping his distance from us,

212. and he seems to be doing businesses on his own.

213. Do you want us to talk to him?

214. Pedro, and everyone who works with me,

215. knows it's not my style to kidnap people.

216. Verify this information,

217. and in case it's Pedro, talk to Montana.

218. He'll know what to do.

219. Alright, boss.

220. Now, bring the girl.

221. I'll tell her to come, boss.

222. We're going to celebrate my promotion.

223. Congratulations, and let's keep it up.

224. - Cheers, girls. - Cheers.

225. Cheers, everyone.

226. Guys, play the one I like.

227. Alright, brother.

228. All the way down to Hermosillo, brother!

229. Brother JJC, down to Tecate. Ready, my man.

230. Motherfucker.

231. He could at least be more discrete.

232. At least he'll be happy

233. when we send him out of this world.

234. We have to kill the guards, Montana.

235. Calm down. Hold on.

236. You guys stay here. Keep an eye out.

237. Let's go around the back of the house.

238. - We have to surround them. - Alright, man.

239. What's up, Pedro?

240. Enjoying the party?

241. They say better on time than by invitation.

242. What does this shit mean, Montana?

243. I have never messed with you, man.

244. Is that so, Pedrito?

245. You have been doing your business

246. keeping the boss out of them.

247. We'd already warned you, so don't play the fool.

248. What are you looking at? Keep your head down.

249. That's right, bro.

250. We're just messengers.

251. Wait a minute.

252. We can sort this out, Montana.

253. It was a good deal.

254. We can reach an agreement.

255. No, we can't.

256. Relax, relax.

257. I never kill women.

258. This is done.

259. Let's go.

260. Apologies to the musicians, brother.

261. They can resume playing.

262. Alright.

263. So...

264. which one should we play?

265. Congratulations on the way you guys dealt with Pedro.

266. It was excellent.

267. Everybody's talking about it.

268. Even on TV!

269. The thing is everything was duly planned.

270. We fucked up Pedro and his henchmen.

271. Personally, I don't like executions;

272. they make the tension boil up.

273. But those fuckers gave me no choice.

274. It was a clean job.

275. No one will suspect us.

276. I know.

277. But they're going to send t he feds, the army, patrols,

278. and that's not convenient.

279. Next time, we'll try to be more careful with these jobs.

280. We have to make the bodies disappear,

281. don't you think?

282. For now, I'll have to be like this.

283. Montana knows what he's doing.

284. As long as he's effective, I won't question what he does.

285. The boss is right.

286. So, Suarez, I was checking out the ballistic analysis.

287. The women said it was three men.

288. Apparently, they didn't cover their faces.

289. That means these fuckers

290. are not afraid of any retaliations.

291. Are you kidding, major?

292. These guys will stop at nothing.

293. Of course.

294. I know that.

295. But usually, when these things happen,

296. they wear hoods.

297. They disguise as a tactical team,

298. or as a government agency;

299. feds, police, or even soldiers.

300. But this wasn't the case.

301. Whoever carried out that execution

302. is certain that no one would rat them out,

303. let alone identify someone.

304. I know that, Suarez.

305. But my point is we have to discover their motive.

306. The area where this happened is Chief Martinez's,

307. and he doesn't like this kind of executions;

308. that really intrigues me.

309. Chief Martinez is a calm man.

310. But if someone crosses him, he's worse than a rabid dog.

311. Remember the slaughter at Las Palmas ranch?

312. Sure I do.

313. But remember that day, Martinez phoned us,

314. and asked us to clear the area, to open up his way.

315. However, this time we didn't get a phone call.

316. I agree.

317. Do you think he's up to something?

318. I don't know.

319. Maybe it's an internal clean-up?

320. Or do you think it's a cartel war?

321. Why don't we ask Chief Martinez,

322. and see if we can clear things up?

323. You're crazy, Suarez.

324. If someone's already declared war on him,

325. he should be the one to ask us for help.

326. Meanwhile, whoever did it can keep killing crooks.

327. I agree.

328. That's a good thing for us.

329. See that?

330. The rat is here.

331. What are you waiting for?

332. Call Buitre.

333. Cheers.

334. What are you doing nowadays?

335. Do you like coming here?

336. Yes, I do like it.

337. Fuck, he's not picking up.

338. Fuck!

339. They're probably still partying.

340. Keep trying.

341. Yeah?

342. We tracked the fool down.

343. Where are you?

344. Some apartment buildings near Hidalgo.

345. Wait for us there. We're coming.

346. We'll be waiting.

347. Let's go. There's a job.

348. Come on, man, look at this.

349. I was about to snort a line; don't give me that shit.

350. Cut it.

351. You'll snort anything you want later.

352. Alright, guys, let's go!

353. Come on!

354. Go ahead.

355. Let's go.

356. Come on!

357. - What's up, dude? - What's up?

358. Routine body search, okay?

359. Yeah.

360. I apologize.

361. We don't want to take any risks.

362. It's okay; we understand.

363. One more thing, the guns stay with me.

364. You can have my clip.

365. No one can keep my gun, dude.

366. That's my offer; otherwise we don't have a deal.

367. Alright. Come on in.

368. What's up.

369. Hey.

370. We've already been searched.

371. I hope you guys don't have any weapons.

372. Because leaving us ammo-less is not a friendly thing to do.

373. Don't sweat it, brother.

374. Only the man at the door has a gun,

375. and that's only for everyone's safety.

376. We're businessmen, not murderers.

377. If there's a good deal, that's great.

378. Otherwise, everyone can go home.

379. How's that?

380. I think that's fine.

381. I can tell you're men of honor.

382. I'm sorry for being skeptical,

383. but we don't want to get in Chief Martinez's territory.

384. But the deal sounds too good to let it go.

385. Don't you think?

386. I understand.

387. Relax, though, nothing's gonna happen.

388. We're positive about this.

389. Besides, Mr. Martinez... don't worry about him;

390. that dude doesn't interfere in these things.

391. Alright, in that case.

392. Let's get down to business.

393. Great.

394. We don't like walking around with this merchandise.

395. Wanna check it out?

396. It's the same one as the sample you got.

397. Okay. Just to make sure.

398. You can check the money, too.

399. What the fuck is going on?

400. That's what I want to know.

401. You won't get away with this, motherfuckers.

402. What are you talking about?

403. You were the ones who set us up.

404. Freeze, motherfuckers.

405. Don't move.

406. If you move, I'll kill him!

407. You think that is going to save you?

408. I don't give a shit about them or you.

409. Pick up the product and the money.

410. Let's go.

411. We gave those fuckers a good beating, didn't we?

412. And we got plenty of money and product all at once.

413. We can get at least 30,000 out of that snow.

414. I don't know why,

415. but I feel like you're up to real shit now.

416. You must be a mind reader, brother.

417. I know you, man.

418. What's next?

419. Can you picture what our lives would be like

420. if I owned this city?

421. I think you're aiming too high, Buitre.

422. Remember this city already has its owner.

423. Why don't we lie low for a while?

424. Do you think it's a good idea to venture into the lion's den?

425. Don't be a wuss, Rony.

426. Don't you see those fuckers didn't even react?

427. You kidding?

428. They must be looking for us by now.

429. You think Chief Martinez will sit back and do nothing

430. after what we did?

431. We'd better not let them find us.

432. I don't want to have to deal with those fuckers.

433. You know what?

434. We're going to take their place.

435. Take whose place?

436. Who else's?

437. Chief Martinez's.

438. So, you plan to kill him?

439. That won't be necessary.

440. The old man is so wiped out he won't be able to beat us.

441. You're crazy, dude.

442. It is one thing to charge the retailers

443. and steal drugs from them,

444. and another to get in Chief Martinez's territory.

445. You wouldn't want that, right?

446. Think about it.

447. Is that what you think?

448. I'm going to prove otherwise.

449. The old man is done.

450. Our time has come,

451. and we have to take advantage of it.

452. I'm with you on that, Buitre.

453. The old man has no means to fight us.

454. Exactly.

455. That's the key.

456. The old man is done, and he can't fight against us.

457. He'd better take advantage of his last minutes,

458. because his days are numbered.

459. Cheers.

460. - Cheers. - Alright.

461. These has gone too far, Suarez.

462. Dead bodies are turning up everywhere.

463. Can you tell me what the fuck is going on?

464. Well, I think it was the same people

465. who killed Pedro and his people.

466. What are you basing that on?

467. I'm almost sure

468. one of those bullets was used in both executions.

469. Maybe you're right.

470. We would have to take a look at the ballistic analysis.

471. I'm worried about something else, though.

472. What are you worried about, major?

473. You've always found a way to solve everything.

474. Well, yeah.

475. But as it usually happens with these cases,

476. violence tends to escalate,

477. and it seems like it's only the beginning.

478. Whoever committed these crimes will get hit where it hurts,

479. and then the other side will hit back,

480. and this is going to get ugly.

481. Are you saying a new war might break out?

482. I hope not,

483. but everything seems to suggest that it's going to happen.

484. All of this is too strange, sir.

485. The greater the illness, the bigger the pill.

486. All you have to do is say the words,

487. and I'll be on it.

488. You know how it is.

489. The thing is we still don't know

490. who killed Gil and Betillo.

491. Sir, do you suspect anyone?

492. No.

493. That's why I came to see you,

494. to see if you suspect anyone

495. who could have created this mess.

496. Nowadays, every sicario around has been schooled by you.

497. You've said it yourself, sir.

498. All of us have been schooled by this guy;

499. so anyone could've done it.

500. I've been out for a while;

501. I have no idea who could've done it.

502. But we can investigate, if you want.

503. My man Montana here has a few methods that never fail.

504. No, guys, hold it.

505. I don't want you to create chaos right now.

506. I'm going to have one my guys investigate,

507. and if a name comes up, I'll let you know.

508. Keep your eyes open, guys.

509. Don't worry, Montana.

510. I guarantee everything's gonna be fine.

511. We already told everyone to stay alert.

512. I promise we will have those names soon.

513. Well, that's it.

514. We'll be in touch.

515. Alright, sir.

516. Dear.

517. Hi! How are you, sweetie?

518. How are you?

519. Honey, I'm home.

520. How are you?

521. I'm in the kitchen. I'll be right there.

522. Okay.

523. Honey, it's so good to see you.

524. Hi, honey.

525. She looks so pretty.

526. She takes after you.

527. Of course she does.

528. Can you imagine if she looked like you?

529. Poor girl.

530. Okay, okay.

531. She's all puffed up, what are you feeding her?

532. All my love.

533. So, can you give me some of that love?

534. Well, let me put her to sleep and I'll show you.

535. I like that idea.

536. Let's make a toast to the great jobs we have scored,

537. and to those that will come.

538. - Cheers. - Cheers.

539. Cheers.

540. How about you?

541. You don't look so happy.

542. What's wrong with you?

543. I already said

544. I don't think what we're doing is a good idea.

545. We're venturing into the lion's den,

546. and you know that.

547. Maybe you're right.

548. But you know that's part of the job.

549. You know how the old saying goes,

550. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

551. If we're going to get into it,

552. it'd better be for a good reason.

553. I think the odds are in our favor.

554. Now, if you want to get out of this...

555. you still have time to back out.

556. No way, dude.

557. Me backing out?

558. Not at all!

559. But we're gonna need more people

560. if we want to get in old man Martinez's territory.

561. That's right!

562. Just like Buitre says.

563. Enough with the pessimism; let's celebrate.

564. Keep the beer coming.

565. - Cheers! - Let's keep the party going.

566. Cheer up.

567. So, are you going to kick me out of here too?

568. Oh, stop it.

569. Listen...

570. I've seen you've been getting visits from these men...

571. they don't look like good people.

572. Do you work for them?

573. What kind of question is that?

574. I work for no one.

575. There's no one I call my boss.

576. Alright, then, relax.

577. But if that's the reason

578. you don't want to hang out with me,

579. I don't care about that.

580. You don't know what you're saying.

581. You're wrong.

582. I know more about you than you think.

583. Listen, I like you a lot,

584. but there are things that you shouldn't know.

585. Alright.

586. What's up, guys?

587. Thank you for coming.

588. What's up, Chuy?

589. What's this important thing you have to tell us?

590. I was having a few drinks at the bar,

591. and then I heard some vatos who were talking too much.

592. Talking too much?

593. About what?

594. About great jobs they had scored,

595. and that they planned to score more.

596. So what?

597. They were talking about entering the old man's territory.

598. And their boss

599. was supposed to become the new boss of the cartel.

600. That's not a new thing.

601. There are many drug lord wannabes

602. who dream about being a mafia boss.

603. Not these dudes.

604. I recognized one of them,

605. and I know he works for El Buitre.

606. El Buitre?

607. Are you sure?

608. Of course;

609. I wouldn't have called you otherwise.

610. You guys had to know this.

611. Here you are, Chuy.

612. You've earned it.

613. Keep your eyes open, so you can blow the whistle.

614. Of course, man.

615. Will do.

616. Let's go.

617. El Buitre, huh?

618. What do you think?

619. Let's go.

620. The boss must know about this immediately.

621. So, Buitre's people.

622. It's just a suspicion, but I'd bet it's them.

623. I agree with you.

624. I'm almost sure it was them.

625. Don't we know one of his guys?

626. Yes.

627. I know one of those fuckers.

628. I even know where to find him.

629. Well, go and tell that fucker

630. that he'd better tell fucking Buitre

631. to stay out of my territory,

632. or he's going to have to deal with the devil himself.

633. Alright?

634. Whatever you say, sir.

635. Alright.

636. Let's go.

637. What's up, motherfucker?

638. You move and you're dead.

639. What's up, 3?

640. I haven't done anything.

641. Drive.

642. I said drive, asshole!

643. Fucking faggot.

644. I thought he could take much more.

645. See?

646. Everyone bends at the first one.

647. Waking up, finally, asshole?

648. You know why you're here?

649. I don't know anything, man.

650. I haven't done anything either.

651. You don't know, motherfucker?

652. Open your eyes, fucker!

653. Open them up!

654. Tell me where you want the first bullet.

655. I'm going to send you to hell!

656. For your mother's sake, man.

657. Don't shoot.

658. I'll do whatever you ask me, but don't shoot.

659. Stop crying.

660. He asked where you want the bullet.

661. Don't shoot, man.

662. For your mother's sake, don't shoot.

663. Now you're crying, asshole.

664. You should've thought

665. about not fucking with the wrong people.

666. I'll do whatever you ask, but... don't shoot.

667. We're going to let you off the hook this time,

668. so you can deliver a message to El Buitre.

669. Tell him not to stick his nose where it doesn't belong!

670. Otherwise, he'll end up like you,

671. with a bullet in his forehead.

672. Are we clear, asshole?

673. Piece of shit!

674. What's up, guys?

675. A sight for sore eyes!

676. Long time no see.

677. What's up, major,

678. I'm glad to see you're still alive.

679. Thanks.

680. I was happy to get your call.

681. But I really wonder why you called me,

682. and I can do for you.

683. Just working.

684. I need some information.

685. What kind of information could we offer you?

686. I want names, full names, something more precise.

687. You know.

688. Well, explain yourself, Montana.

689. Let's be clear.

690. There's a list in there.

691. We need to know

692. if the men who are on it have children.

693. What for?

694. Simple.

695. We crooks always use a code name instead of our name.

696. We only use our real names when we register a birth.

697. You know...

698. I still don't get it.

699. That's too bad.

700. That's as much as I can explain.

701. I also need the names of the mothers

702. and their IFE address.

703. That's it.

704. Listen, Montana.

705. I don't think you can be so stupid

706. to harm this people,

707. let alone telling me about this.

708. You said it yourself, major, I'm not that stupid.

709. We're on the same side, except you wear badge.

710. Alright.

711. Why don't you call me tomorrow?

712. I'll give you your information.

713. That's what I hope.

714. Alright, dude, we're 100%.

715. How about that?

716. What is he up to?

717. It's pretty obvious he's after someone.

718. Listen, stop racking your brain.

719. Montana's a very smart man.

720. You can be sure whatever it is he does,

721. he won't leave a trace.

722. Do you think it has something to do with the executions?

723. It probably does.

724. But I'm almost sure

725. he's under Chief Martinez's command.

726. Anyway, I don't care about that.

727. Let's do him the favor.

728. I think that information is going to be good for us.

729. - Okay. - Let's go.

730. Fuck me.

731. How did they find out it was us?

732. Probably someone recognized us.

733. I told you we should've worn masks.

734. Fuck that; you know that's not my style.

735. You know?

736. I think those bastards only suspect it was us.

737. If they were sure,

738. I wouldn't be here telling you guys.

739. So...

740. this warning means we have to leave.

741. Or do you plan to continue operating

742. in the Chief's territory?

743. Of course we won't leave.

744. I already told you that old man is done.

745. And if he's such a badass,

746. that fucker should come here and take us out.

747. Well, this was only a warning.

748. If they catch any of us, we won't be so lucky.

749. Besides I don't want to look as marked as this dude,

750. or my head to show up in a dumpster.

751. No fucking way.

752. Don't say you're scared.

753. We're not scared.

754. Of course we're not!

755. We have plenty of balls;

756. we just have to be very careful

757. if we want to continue operating here.

758. You're right about that.

759. From now on, it'll be just business outside.

760. Any other thing we have to do, we'll do it here, in private.

761. Understood?

762. Sounds good; no wonder they call you vulture.

763. Speaking of jobs, I got the next one.

764. Let's go.

765. Come on.

766. Let's go! Let's go!

767. Let's go!

768. Yes?

769. I have your daughter.

770. You wanna see her again?

771. Please, don't hurt her.

772. I'm begging you.

773. Shut the fuck up.

774. You tell the Police and she's dead.

775. You have 24 hours to get 1 million dollars,

776. or you will never see her again.

777. I'll do whatever you ask.

778. But please don't hurt my daughter.

779. That's up to you.

780. You'll get more instructions in two hours.

781. I'll do whatever you say, but please don't hurt my girl.

782. Please.

783. Please don't come up with funny business.

784. You know what will happen to your daughter.

785. Hello?

786. No, please... Hello?

787. It was them, right?

788. My girl.

789. Is she okay?

790. Let's hope she is.

791. They want 1 million dollars.

792. Poor girl.

793. Have mercy on her, my Lord.

794. Calm down, woman. Calm down.

795. We have to stay strong.

796. I'll give them whatever they want,

797. just to see my girl back home safe and sound.

798. What if you pay...

799. and they don't give her back to you?

800. No, Enrique.

801. You have to ask them to let you talk to her first.

802. We must make sure she's still alive.

803. That's a big risk.

804. Don't worry, Mariana;

805. I think she's alive, she has to be.

806. I know.

807. I'm going to my cousin's; he's got to help me.

808. You think he has something to do with this?

809. Of course not!

810. But I'm sure he's going to help us.

811. Then...

812. do whatever it takes.

813. If we have to pay, we'll pay.

814. But I want my daughter back, please!

815. I'll be right back.

816. Chief, there's a dude outside; he says he's your cousin.

817. He looks really worried.

818. Something must have happened to him.

819. Didn't he mention his name?

820. He said his name is Enrique.

821. Sure.

822. Send him in.

823. Cheers, sir.

824. Hello, cousin.

825. How are you, cousin? Good morning.

826. I'm fine.

827. What's wrong?

828. You look worried.

829. Why's that?

830. Something horrible happened.

831. My daughter, Juliana, has been kidnapped.

832. How? When?

833. This morning.

834. She was going to school.

835. Have you heard from the kidnappers?

836. I have, cousin.

837. They want 1 million dollars to let her go.

838. Holy shit.

839. Fucking bastards.

840. They take advantage of innocent people.

841. Cousin, I promise we'll do

842. as much as possible to rescue her.

843. Rescue her?

844. No offense,

845. but I thought you might know the kidnappers,

846. that way you could negotiate with them.

847. No, man, you're wrong.

848. You know kidnap is not my thing.

849. My business is drugs.

850. I have nothing to do with those fuckers.

851. It's your territory, though.

852. You know who operates in that area.

853. Guys, any ideas who could have kidnapped her?

854. I could bet my ass

855. that El Buitre had something to do with this.

856. He's taking revenge for the message we sent him.

857. No, I don't think so.

858. No one knows Enrique is my cousin,

859. besides we hardly ever see each other.

860. I do think that motherfucker did it.

861. No one else would do something like that

862. in our territories.

863. Gentlemen, I'm not asking for the kidnapper's name.

864. I'm willing to pay the money;

865. I just need a guarantee

866. that my daughter's gonna come home safe and sound.

867. Help me, please.

868. Man, I can't, no one can guarantee that.

869. That's up to the kidnappers.

870. So you're saying you're not gonna help me?

871. Is that what you're saying?

872. Holy fuck.

873. The cousin's upset.

874. You say the word, boss, and we'll be on it.

875. We'll bring El Buitre and his guys here.

876. No, that'd be putting my niece's life at risk.

877. We can't make any mistakes.

878. There's something we can do, though.

879. J-3, give me the police radio.

880. Sure thing, boss.

881. Here you go, sir.

882. Buitre.

883. Answer.

884. Buitre, go ahead.

885. This is Chief-9.

886. Buitre, pick up, man.

887. I'm waiting.

888. Please don't use this frequency; it's owned by the Police.

889. If you do, you will be penalized.

890. We will check your radio number.

891. This is not your problem.

892. Stay out of this.

893. Buitre...

894. this is Chief-9.

895. Answer.

896. I'm waiting.

897. Buitre.

898. Pick up, Buitre.

899. Did you hear that?

900. That's Chief Martinez.

901. This is Chief-9.

902. Pick up, man.

903. I'm waiting.

904. This frequency should only be used by the Police.

905. Gentlemen, please.

906. Here I am, Chief-9.

907. 10-10.

908. I know you have a girl with you.

909. That was a good job, quite the jackpot.

910. Listen up, man.

911. Please use another frequency; you're being heard by everyone.

912. Officers, stay out of this frequency.

913. That's their business.

914. Please.

915. Did you hear me, Buitre?

916. You got good money.

917. But you know what I think about jobs like these.

918. But you did do a good job.

919. I don't know what you're talking about, Chief-9,

920. we have no girl here.

921. No problem, Buitre.

922. You'll get your money.

923. I just want you to know she's one of my people...

924. so you can send her back safe and sound.

925. Or you know what will happen to you and your henchmen.

926. Again with the threats, Chief-9?

927. I already said I don't have any girls.

928. And if I did...

929. you shouldn't talk to me like this.

930. You know I can get angry.

931. Don't go too far.

932. That girl is innocent.

933. If you have a problem with me, just say it.

934. I'm at your service.

935. There are no innocent people here.

936. We are all merchandise with a price.

937. Besides, why do you care?

938. If you're gonna pay, you're gonna get the girl back.

939. I already said everything I needed to say.

940. Your choice.

941. Son of a bitch.

942. He dared to threaten me using the Police's frequency.

943. Now the cops know

944. we were the ones who kidnapped her.

945. So what?

946. What matters is that we're gonna get the money.

947. Did you hear that, Suarez?

948. Yes, major.

949. This has taken an ugly turn.

950. I have no doubt now;

951. those executions have happened

952. due to the dispute between these two.

953. Who is that woman they mentioned?

954. The one they say El Buitre kidnapped.

955. To be honest, I have no idea.

956. But I'm sure if she's related to Martinez,

957. they won't report it to the Police.

958. Of course they won't.

959. I'm sure they'll settle accounts with each other.

960. You see who's coming?

961. What's up, major?

962. Do you have what I asked?

963. Of course I do, Montana.

964. Here it is.

965. But, you know?

966. I wasn't able to find two of those names.

967. One thing, though.

968. I found out some of them have children in Sinaloa.

969. Alright, major.

970. Just what I needed.

971. Alright, Montana.

972. I want you to tell me something:

973. does this have anything to do

974. with the kidnap they're blaming on El Buitre?

975. Kidnap?

976. I haven't heard anything.

977. Didn't you hear the Police frequency?

978. Chief Martinez just threatened El Buitre.

979. He's asking him to release a woman he kidnapped.

980. They're paying the ransom.

981. The instruction is,

982. either they release the girl

983. or they're gonna go hard on El Buitre and his people.

984. No, I haven't heard anything.

985. Well, now you have.

986. Okay.

987. Thanks for the info.

988. We'll be in touch.

989. Alright then, Montana.

990. Take care.

991. Okay.

992. Let's go, Suarez.

993. We have to ask questions about yesterday's kidnap.

994. We also have to investigate those names Montana ran by us.

995. I have a feeling

996. that we will find El Buitre's name there.

997. What are we waiting for?

998. Let's get on it.

999. Before we lose him.

1000. Alright, let's go.

1001. Holy Virgin, you are a mother yourself...

1002. I ask you to help us;

1003. to bring our daughter back.

1004. If we have to lose possessions, we will do.

1005. But please bring her back safe and sound.

1006. Our children are everything we have.

1007. Oh, God.

1008. Don't cry, mommy.

1009. My sister's going to come back soon.

1010. Sweetie, we have to ask God to send her back home.

1011. God, when will this stop?

1012. Yes?

1013. Do you have the money?

1014. I got it.

1015. I want your wife to deliver the money.

1016. - But— - You've heard me.

1017. Or else there's no deal.

1018. Alright, man.

1019. I'll do as you say.

1020. I want you to put the money in a black trash bag.

1021. Then, you're going to take the road to Rosarito,

1022. and after 16 kilometers, there's a bridge.

1023. You're going to stop there.

1024. You're going to see two things,

1025. a yellow bag and a paper bag.

1026. Take the paper one and get the cellphone in there.

1027. Yes?

1028. I see you're doing what I told.

1029. Get in the car and drive.

1030. Don't hang up;

1031. if the call gets disconnected, I'll call you again.

1032. Drive carefully.

1033. After 1 kilometer you'll find a dirt road.

1034. Take it.

1035. Get out of the car

1036. and carefully put the money bag on the ground.

1037. Here it is.

1038. Very good.

1039. Now leave the phone on the money bag and leave.

1040. And you better hope the whole money is there.

1041. It is, sir.

1042. I swear.

1043. But... where is my daughter?

1044. Yeah, she's fine.

1045. If everything's right, she will be back soon.

1046. Now leave.

1047. Please, I'm begging you, don't hurt her.

1048. I swear the whole money is in there.

1049. Leave!

1050. I'd never seen so much money.

1051. What are you waiting for?

1052. Let's get the hell out of here.

1053. Alright, Buitre. It's done.

1054. It's all here.

1055. What are we going to do now?

1056. What's up with you?

1057. You don't seem very happy.

1058. We have 1 million dollars cash, and you don't say a thing.

1059. It's nothing like that.

1060. This is one of the first big jobs we'll do.

1061. You're worried about something, aren't you, Buitre?

1062. What are you talking about?

1063. You know what I'm talking about; Martinez's threat.

1064. We have to return the girl safe and sound, am I wrong?

1065. No, you're not.

1066. I keep thinking about that.

1067. We have no choice.

1068. We're going to let the girl go; we already got the money.

1069. There's no need to make the old man angry;

1070. you know what he's like when he gets mad.

1071. There's no need to get in trouble.

1072. What?

1073. Don't you plan to let her go?

1074. That son of a bitch dared to threaten me.

1075. If I let her go,

1076. it's as if we accepted we're scared of him.

1077. I don't think so.

1078. I would think you're a man of your word.

1079. Words are worth nothing here.

1080. What matters is respect.

1081. And that old fart needs to learn to show me some respect.

1082. I don't agree with you.

1083. But you're the boss,

1084. and I'll work by your side on whatever you need.

1085. Think it through, though,

1086. because it would mean to declare war on the old man.

1087. To be honest, El Gallo is right.

1088. But let me ask you something,

1089. do you think we're truly ready for war?

1090. Alright; we're gonna let her go.

1091. But it's going to happen when I say so,

1092. not when that old man tells me to.

1093. I'll let her go later.

1094. I don't want anyone to say I'm under his command,

1095. or that I'm scared of him.

1096. Alright.

1097. That's better.

1098. It'll be as you say.

1099. And everything will be alright.

1100. Any news about my niece?

1101. No news, boss,

1102. she hasn't turned up alive or dead.

1103. There's nothing.

1104. Did you talk to Major Jimenez?

1105. We have, boss.

1106. Her family has paid the ransom.

1107. They should have let her go by now.

1108. If they got the money so fast and easy,

1109. those scumbags probably want to ask for more.

1110. We already gave them a warning,

1111. but they didn't listen to us.

1112. Now that warning is going to become effective.

1113. Let's talk to Montana.

1114. Whenever you say, sir.

1115. Let's do it right now, guys.

1116. Let's go.

1117. I want you to jump into action, Montana.

1118. But it won't be easy.

1119. I don't know who is responsible for this,

1120. but my niece's life is at risk.

1121. How sure are you about your suspicions

1122. against El Buitre?

1123. Even though I've wanted to cross that dude for a while,

1124. I don't want to be the one who starts this war.

1125. My suspicions have not been confirmed.

1126. But if I had to choose someone, I would choose him.

1127. I'm sorry to interrupt, sir, but I agree with you.

1128. Let's suppose you get El Buitre...

1129. what would you do not to put my niece's life at risk?

1130. Did you say they paid 1 million dollars?

1131. That's a lot of money.

1132. In cash.

1133. We need to check if Buitre has the money.

1134. And if he has 1 million dollars,

1135. we won't have a doubt it was him.

1136. I don't understand, Montana.

1137. How are we going to know that?

1138. Listen, Chief Martinez,

1139. I know you don't like this kind of things.

1140. I don't like it either,

1141. but your niece's life is at risk.

1142. We have to snatch his wife; then we'll know if it was him.

1143. I don't like those methods.

1144. But do whatever you have to do.

1145. And if you find out he's responsible,

1146. finish him at once, I'll pay extra for that.

1147. If Buitre is responsible, I'll blow him away myself.

1148. You can be sure of that.

1149. I'll even you a drink.

1150. That's good, Montana.

1151. Good luck.

1152. Let's go, guys.

1153. Where have you been?

1154. How long were you listening?

1155. Long enough to know who you really are.

1156. So?

1157. Are you afraid?

1158. Not at all.

1159. But I'm worried something might happen to you.

1160. Don't worry about that.

1161. Everything's under control.

1162. Get in there, beautiful.

1163. We're going to buy some new clothes

1164. because it's getting too hot, and you don't have any shorts.

1165. Okay, let's fasten your seatbelt.

1166. What can I do now?

1167. This thing won't turn on.

1168. What's up, honey?

1169. Hey, honey.

1170. Listen, the truck won't turn on, and I want to go shopping.

1171. What happened? Did it break down?

1172. If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be calling you.

1173. Did you check the gas?

1174. I'm such a dumb-ass, it has no gas.

1175. Don't worry about that, honey.

1176. I'll send one of the guys to bring some gas.

1177. Okay, love. Thanks. Bye.

1178. Rony.

1179. Rony!

1180. Come here.

1181. What is it?

1182. Go check who's near my place; my wife ran out of gas.

1183. I'll send Pollo.

1184. He lives near.

1185. Alright then, man.

1186. Don't be upset, man.

1187. Artemisa?

1188. Who's asking?

1189. Freeze, motherfucker!

1190. Get in!

1191. Let me get take the girl somewhere safe, please.

1192. Shut up. Get in!

1193. Keep guard, guys.

1194. Yes?

1195. Major, you're going to get calls about gunfire

1196. in Colonia del Valle.

1197. I need you to open up the area

1198. and give me 20 minutes to leave this place.

1199. Give me a few minutes, Montana.

1200. Can't do that.

1201. I have two bodies on the street.

1202. Understood?

1203. Now you're going to talk to me.

1204. Where is Buitre?

1205. I don't know.

1206. Listen, don't play the fool with me.

1207. If you don't want me to hurt her, call him.

1208. I said I don't know.

1209. He comes here once a week; I don't know where he is.

1210. But you do have his number; call him.

1211. Cheers, guys!

1212. Cheers.

1213. My wife again?

1214. What could she want now?

1215. Rony.

1216. - Rony! - What happened?

1217. Didn't you tell Pollo to take the gas to my wife?

1218. Yeah, I did. Don't worry about that.

1219. They will be there soon.

1220. What happened, honey?

1221. Someone's looking for you.

1222. What? Looking for me? Who?

1223. It's me, Buitre.

1224. I'm the one who's looking for you.

1225. Who the fuck are you?

1226. What are you doing in my house?

1227. Cool it, asshole.

1228. This is Montana. Remember me?

1229. Montana?

1230. It's been a long time since heard from you.

1231. To what do I owe this honor?

1232. This is not a courtesy visit; this is business.

1233. What are you talking about?

1234. What do you mean by business?

1235. You know what I mean; we're in the same business.

1236. Listen, I have your wife and your kid.

1237. I want a million dollars, if you want them back.

1238. Calm down.

1239. My daddy, mommy.

1240. Listen to me, motherfucker.

1241. You'd better not lay a finger on my family

1242. or you'll be fucked!

1243. We'll see about that.

1244. Get the money. Talk to you later.

1245. Let's go, beautiful.

1246. Don't do this to me.

1247. Let me leave the girl here.

1248. Let's hope Buitre plays his part so I won't have to kill you.

1249. Let's go.

1250. No, please.

1251. Come on, let's go.

1252. Son of a bitch!

1253. He's gonna pay for this.

1254. Get out!

1255. I want to stay alone with my men.

1256. Come on!

1257. Get the hell out!

1258. What happened, Buitre? Why are you acting like this?

1259. Who was that?

1260. What the hell is going on?

1261. That was Montana;

1262. he has my family, and he wants 1 million dollars.

1263. 1 million?

1264. Isn't that a coincidence?

1265. What are you talking about?

1266. You know, that's exactly what we asked for the girl.

1267. I think Chief Martinez is behind this thing.

1268. Montana wouldn't do this on his own account.

1269. You're right.

1270. They want to see if I have the money

1271. so they can confirm I kidnapped that girl.

1272. You see?

1273. I told you to let her go as soon as we got the money.

1274. Now we're in deep shit.

1275. Cut the nonsense.

1276. What we have to do now is get my family back.

1277. There's no choice, Buitre.

1278. We have to give them the girl and the money

1279. so you can get your family back.

1280. Well, that sounds very easy.

1281. But if Martinez is behind this,

1282. he won't settle for the girl and the money;

1283. we'll want to kill me.

1284. We don't have a choice, man.

1285. We'll have to take our chances.

1286. You know what?

1287. Let's do this.

1288. Come on.

1289. Hey, what's up?

1290. I wasn't expecting you.

1291. Where's the girl?

1292. She's over there.

1293. Why? Did something happen?

1294. Nothing happened.

1295. Hey!

1296. Are you crazy?

1297. What are you thinking?

1298. If you kill her...

1299. you will never see your family again.

1300. Don't you realize she saw our faces?

1301. The first thing she's going to tell the old man

1302. is that it was us who kidnapped her.

1303. They're going to kill my family anyway.

1304. Don't do it!

1305. You know it's too risky.

1306. If you kill her, you're going to lose.

1307. What's going on?

1308. Please don't kill me; I won't say anything.

1309. Don't kill her. Think about it.

1310. I think he's right.

1311. You know?

1312. Take her away.

1313. You know what you have to do.

1314. We'll take care of that.

1315. Help me out.

1316. Let's go.

1317. Get up.

1318. Dude, calm down.

1319. It's gonna be okay.

1320. How was it?

1321. It was fine.

1322. The woman and the kid are in the truck.

1323. Kid?

1324. You never said there was a kid.

1325. I know you don't like it.

1326. But I don't either.

1327. Believe me.

1328. It was the only way

1329. we could guarantee your niece's life

1330. we could guarantee your niece's life and get El Buitre.

1331. and get El Buitre.

1332. Don't worry about this.

1333. We'll get this over with soon,

1334. and you'll go home with your girl.

1335. Nothing's going to happen to you.

1336. Have you talked to El Buitre?

1337. I did.

1338. I asked for 1 million dollars to release his family.

1339. If he does have my niece, he won't do anything to her

1340. as long as we have his wife and daughter.

1341. You tell me where and when I should meet with him.

1342. Let me think about it.

1343. I'll let you know.

1344. You guys, take care of the woman.

1345. Keep an eye on her.

1346. Of course, sir.

1347. I'll take care of that.

1348. Come with me, girl.

1349. You heard the boss; nothing's gonna happen to you.

1350. Don't say anything, bitch, or you'll be dead.

1351. You haven't seen anything.

1352. Let's go.

1353. Please, sir, let us go.

1354. Don't worry, girl.

1355. You heard the boss.

1356. We don't have a problem with you.

1357. Behave yourself,

1358. and nothing's gonna happen to you and your girl.

1359. Alright?

1360. Okay.

1361. All set, sir.

1362. Hello?

1363. You have no idea how happy that makes me, cousin.

1364. I'll stop by your house later, to say hello.

1365. Alright, man.

1366. No problem.

1367. Goodbye.

1368. Good news, guys.

1369. They let my niece go.

1370. That's fucking great.

1371. No doubt about it now, sir.

1372. El Buitre did have her.

1373. Looks like it.

1374. Should we let them go, then?

1375. No, nothing like that.

1376. Call him.

1377. It's that son of a bitch.

1378. Yeah?

1379. What's up, Buitre?

1380. Do you have the money?

1381. Are you making fun of me, fucker?

1382. Why don't you tell me what you want?

1383. Let's get this over with.

1384. Asshole.

1385. He says he doesn't have it.

1386. Let me talk to him.

1387. Yeah, Buitre?

1388. You know who's this?

1389. Chief Martinez.

1390. I knew you were behind this.

1391. Why don't you say what is it that you want?

1392. First of all,

1393. I want to thank you for letting the girl go.

1394. I said I had nothing to do with that.

1395. Cut the bullshit, man.

1396. Your show is over.

1397. And even though you're not taking responsibility,

1398. I want the money and your sorry ass...

1399. if you're so brave.

1400. Let my wife and my girl go.

1401. Why did you involve them in this?

1402. They're innocent people.

1403. Oh, now there are innocent people.

1404. You change your mind really fast.

1405. Did you forget we're all merchandise

1406. with a price?

1407. It's up to you if you want them to remain alive.

1408. I don't believe a thing, Martinez.

1409. You would never kill a woman or a kid.

1410. Maybe I wouldn't, but who can predict Montana?

1411. You know him better than me; you know what he's capable of.

1412. Alright.

1413. You name the place.

1414. On the road to Seneca, there's an exit at kilometer 20.

1415. Follow the road,

1416. and we'll be waiting for you at the ranch.

1417. Alright, I'll be there.

1418. You heard it.

1419. I had no choice but to accept.

1420. Get ready.

1421. We'll leave as soon as Meño and Julian are back.

1422. Get the money.

1423. Okay.

1424. Perfect. Together till death, Buitre.

1425. Okay, it seems like this job is done.

1426. I'll take care of the rest.

1427. Not at all, Montana;

1428. I want to be there when you kill El Buitre.

1429. We must get ready to welcome him.

1430. Alright.

1431. There they are.

1432. But...

1433. I can't see Montana anywhere around here.

1434. This is a damn ambush.

1435. You know that, Buitre.

1436. I have no choice.

1437. Once they release my wife and my daughter,

1438. make sure they can leave this place.

1439. You don't have to worry about that.

1440. We'll make sure to protect them.

1441. Okay, let's do this.

1442. Get ready, here he comes.

1443. Here I am.

1444. I brought the money.

1445. Let my family go.

1446. I know you're aiming at me, Montana.

1447. But I'm not going anywhere.

1448. Release my wife and my girl.

1449. 3, take care of her.

1450. Yes, sir.

1451. Listen to me, woman, go home; nothing's gonna happen to you.

1452. Don't wait for your man, though;

1453. he won't be back.

1454. You're free to go.

1455. Why?

1456. Why did it have to be like this?

1457. What did you do?

1458. That's not important now.

1459. What matters is that you'll be okay.

1460. How about you?

1461. What's going to happen to you?

1462. What was meant to happen sooner or later.

1463. This is the fate for those of us who are in this business.

1464. Let's run.

1465. Their boss seems to be a noble man,

1466. he wouldn't do anything as long as our girl is with us.

1467. Not him.

1468. The one who took you is aiming at me right now.

1469. And I won't run any risks with you or our daughter.

1470. Go away.

1471. Quick, go.

1472. Here are the keys to the truck.

1473. Run away.

1474. Take it.

1475. Alright...

1476. Your call, what's next?

1477. They're shooting from upstairs!

1478. Let's hit these motherfuckers!

1479. What?

1480. You got what you wanted, fuckers.

1481. Here I am at your mercy.

1482. And you got your money back.

1483. That's great, Buitre.

1484. But it's too late for that.

1485. Now...

1486. who's going to do it?

1487. Who's gonna deliver the coup de grace?

1488. What?

1489. You wanna choose or do you have a last wish?

1490. No.

1491. But I have something better.

1492. I know I'm going to hell, but I won't go by myself.

1493. Watch out!

1494. Take cover!

1495. Fucking Buitre.

1496. He tried to fuck us till the last second.

1497. And he almost managed to do it.

1498. THANK YOU, KOMANDER,

1499. ON YOUR FIRST FILM.

1500. YOU'RE A GREAT PROFESSIONAL,

1501. YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT PERSON

1502. AND AN EVEN BETTER FRIEND.

1503. ALWAYS READY, BUD!
