You know what?
Fuck Rivera!
And fuck the Sonora Cartel!
Think they can dictate terms to us and the Babas.
That primitive shit may work on the Mexicans
but it doesn't work in Eastern Europe
Let's get the fuck out of here, man.
A storm is coming.
Hey! Asshole!
Alright, on my count, go, go, go.
Clear.
Watch that corner.
Hands, let me see your hands.
Got you...
Stuck up.
Hey, move it, gringo.
- Hey, John. - Hola, chica.
Do you guys need anything?
Nope, we'll be fine, thanks, we're cool.
You hear that song?
In terms of the latest narco quarter
that we're interested in, that was set up by El Mini Oso.
Now, interestingly enough,
it's been taken over by Felix Camarena.
Oso was an ex-cop who at the time of Camarena's first arrest
ran the Puento Grande Mexican prison.
Oso made sure to help set up Camarena's first prison break.
I'm not sure who helped him the second time around really.
But Camarena did return the favor.
In February, my team raided his compound.
As you may, or may not, know when we got in there
we encountered severe resistance, got into a big gun fight.
I ended up killing El Mini Oso.
We had 200 million dollars in cash, some Euros,
over 100 big exotic cats, 200 firearms, most of them FA,
and 150 tons of cocaine.
- I ended that motherfucker. - That's why I'm here, John.
You killed the bear.
I don't need to tell you about your reputation
on both sides of the law.
The cartels know that you're someone to be reckoned with
and the FBI and ICE know that as a purported agent
of the DEA, you're also in bed with the CIA.
Do you need to get that?
Fuck no.
Look, I'm here, off the books, because I need to
reactivate a cold asset.
My brother, if I get back in, there's 1,000 motherfuckers
that are gonna die, good guys and bad guys,
and I'm gonna end up being the bad guy,
and I don't want that.
In the past several weeks ICE has been picking up
more and more OTM's along Sonora smuggling routes.
ICE runs across them all the time.
Mexicans being smuggled in all the time.
Nuh-uh, not like this.
Two days ago ICE picked up two OTM's along the Texas border.
This close to making it across.
But your Native American friends working the routes that night
noticed something different about these two.
Let me guess, you got a hit on an OTM.
Two hits. Two known Islamic extremists, John.
Two of the three main players responsible for blowing
Crimea A-450 out of the sky over Syria last year.
As you know the CIA in concert with the DEA and the FBI
have been after these animals.
Each belong to different groups though.
Split between Al-Nusra Front and Hezbollah.
So you're talking high level, high value targets.
Wow. I'm interested, tell me more.
DOJ has reasons to believe that these guys
are attempting to form an unholy alliance
with the narco terrorists along our borders.
Same cartels that create men like El Mini Oso.
Now the agreement is simple in theory.
Their caliphate will supply the cartels if the cartels
use their smuggling routes to sneak terrorist cells
into the US undetected.
The FBI doesn't want it and the CIA can't do anything
about it once they land on US soil.
And that leaves the DEA.
And that brings you to me.
You're the best wet mechanic out there, John,
and a very unique asset, straddling both worlds,
the CIA and the DEA.
Okay, so, I'm gonna need something actionable.
There is a meeting taking place marking the marriage
between these groups, making it official.
Where is the meeting taking place?
Neutral ground.
But the exact location, we don't know.
Stay and drink with us, baby.
Don't be shy.
Okay, so here's the deal.
If I'm coming in to do this, I need resources.
I want to pick my own team, I want my own equipment,
my own gear, and I'll need a jet to tote me and my team around.
So I guess you're back.
My account info, same as usual.
And I want to talk to the OTM tonight.
Now if you'll excuse me.
Just stay, relax.
- Hey, Maria, Maria. - Hi, papi.
- How's my baby. - Who's this guy?
- How's my baby girl? - Not that good.
Not that good, what's happening?
- Because of them. - Really?
Hey, who the fuck are you?
Do you guys know this is my baby?
You're baby?
But you know what, it seems to me...
Seems that what?
- Is this your beer? - Yeah.
Hey, ese.
He took your beer, man.
It seems to me that you're bothering her.
Stay down, bitch.
I was never here. You understand that right?
Hello.
Zara, it's me.
John, wow, it's been a long time.
How's Mexico or wherever you're living these days?
I'm coming back home, good old USA.
I need your help for something.
Alright let's try an easy one. Where are you from?
I don't speak English.
Ah yes. You don't speak English.
This is me speaking English.
This is me speaking Spanish. Better?
Let's talk in Spanish.
Okay. Go ahead.
Coyote of the Cartel, yes?
Your tattoos say you're Sonora, no?
Yes, Sonora.
Okay, I see you recognize the word.
So, probably you didn't count on me grabbing you.
And because you were trained to sit tight and not say
a word, then you'll probably be kicked loose by dawn
because that's where our current
administration makes all of us act.
You didn't count on my Native American brothers grabbing you,
and I'm sure they took one look at you
and saw you a mile away.
You're an Arab.
You're no Mexican.
Just as I see it now.
Your clothes ill-fitting.
Eh, you look kind of Yemeni with a neck scarf.
But your friend from the other room,
he's not from there is he?
No. I am alone.
I do not know the other man.
Of course you do, he's already rolled on you.
How do you think I know you're Yemeni. You know?
He tells me that the Al-Qaeda and the Arabian peninsula
are very active.
But you guys aren't usually found hanging out
with the Al-Nusra Front.
AQAP working with Daish, yeah?
This tells me that you and your pal aren't really
trial running anything to set up smuggling routes.
This tells me you're forward negotiators
setting the stage for something big that's about to happen.
I do not speak English.
Man that's some funny shit.
I also know who caught the eye of the border agents
when they nabbed you guys.
See, Native Americans are experts at tracking
and... and the thing of it is
you weren't sneaking in from Mexico to the US.
You were sneaking out of the US into Mexico.
You were already here.
So tell me your name,
tell me the name of your contact in Mexico
and finally tell me exactly
where the real meeting is taking place and when.
My name is Abdulah Al-Hamdani.
Our contact in Mexico is the head of the Sonora drug cartel.
He wanted to show us his southern border operations.
So you were kind of inspecting the routes, right?
For the corridors?
We were making an alliance of convenience.
Yeah, I understand that.
Mexico isn't really interesting enough without AQAP and Daish.
We have enough desert back home.
Yes, you do, and that's why I know
you're still lying to me.
You're here for an easier way into the US.
Something with less eyes on it.
With more sand.
Something further away, but still a hub, a port,
with a history of trafficking as well as religion.
Your contact in Mexico was Jose Rivera.
But that's not where the meeting is taking place.
How do you know his name?
Rivera's the head of Sonora cartel.
And if you're making a deal with any cartel, it's with Sonora.
You want the access to their extensive rain time,
subterranean land and air smuggling route.
And you like the fact that they're brutal.
