El Chapo

Congratulations on your win and welcome to the USA.

Mexico is a priority for my government.

And there are very important issues to discuss.

Security is the main issue now.

Drug traffickers have invaded with the corrupt structure of Mexico.

And they are very well equipped.

This is a critical situation.

Both our countries are threatened.

You need a safe border and I need help to fight the drug traffickers.

The moment I assume the presidency, I will declare war against them.

I want to pacify my country.

And I need you on board.

It's in our interest to work together to defeat the drug trafficking.

We can supply you with the weapons.

Plus the exchange will help us overcome the current economic situation.

Slow downs have to be handled one way or another.

The first meeting of the president elect

with the U.S. President took place at the White House.

And it lasted for more than an hour.

This is the first trip that the president elect has taken,

two weeks before his Presidential Inauguration in Mexico.

DECEMBER 1, 2006

I swear to abide by and enforce the Constitution

of the United Mexican States...

- -...and the laws that may come from it.

And to perform, loyally and patriotically,

the role of President of the Republic,

as the people have bestowed upon me.

Looking always for the common good and prosperity of the people.

And if I fail to carry this out, may the people demand it from me.

Mister President,

what are your impressions about the U.S. President's wish

to cooperate with your government

in order to face the drug trafficking problem in both countries?

Fortunately, our neighboring country is fully willing.

The President understands very well Mexico's difficulties.

Specifically, the importance of the fight against drug trafficking.

Actually, we have begun to discuss our cooperative strategy.

Could you tell me what this cooperation would mean?

Well, we need more technology and weapons, and they can provide them us.

In fact, I told him...

have you seen the show 24 with Jack Bauer?

"I want all the toys," I told him.

"I want all the toys for the war against drug trafficking."

So far, you have given us your enemies' location

and we have captured them.

But as of now, we are going a step further.

We are all going to work together.

As a single entity.

If we're controlling the business,

we have to get rid of Cano in Nuevo Laredo.

The Emes won't stand a chance against the Federation,

the military, and the police attacking together.

Joaquín...

we want results soon.

You will have them.

The war against drug trafficking

will be a complete success.

Lieutenant Colonel Davila, from the Army.

And Major Arana from the Federal Police.

The boss sends me to be at your disposal.

Taking over Nuevo Laredo won't be easy.

They are very well organized.

We will need thousands of troops. Both from the Army and the Federal Police.

When will we get the weapons we were promised?

I will take care of that.

First, we need all the information you have on Cano and the Emes.

To set up intelligence.

GUADALUPE RESTAURANT

Take this chance to enjoy yourselves.

This is the last chance to relax before the battle.

Don't worry.

They are just fooling around to keep the suspense up.

And this year's queen is...

Miss Elva Coronado.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... your new queen,

Miss Elva Coronado.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have to go.

I have pending business to take care of.

Are you coming back?

Of course, my queen.

I'm coming back to be your king.

When you turn 18...

you will marry me.

I'm going to be waiting for you.

ISMAEL'S RESIDENCE

Thank you for coming to my son's graduation.

Is he here?

No, not yet.

While we're waiting, I want to talk to you.

All right.

I want to make Sinaloa the biggest cartel.

Not only in Mexico but in the world.

And for that we need to expand out there and control the border from inside here.

You said the government agrees Nuevo Laredo

should be the first target, right?

There are other borders besides Nuevo Laredo.

I also want us to get Juarez.

Juarez?

Tell me straight up, Joaquín.

Why do you want to take Chente's sector? For the business?

Or because you want to avenge your brother?

Both.

We won't have a better moment.

The government wants dough.

And we have their support.

Controlling Juarez and Nuevo Laredo, we will be owners of the entire border.

And the business?

Have you thought who to leave it to while we go to war?

Dámaso will be in charge.

My son is here!

-Congratulations, damn it. -It's about time.

Congratulations, son.

Thanks a lot, pops.

Joaquín.

What up?

-Congratulations. -Thanks.

Your dad told me you graduated at the top of your class.

I said that, didn't I?

You graduated as an administrator.

Yes, Business Administrator.

Bad ass.

We are going to need you very soon.

We're growing and I need you to handle our international business.

Cool.

I'm in.

JOAQUÍN'S RESIDENCE

Sol sends word that the government is spending three billion dollars on weapons.

They're waiting for your attack strategy to coordinate the military and police.

Tell Conrado that we're also going for Juarez.

Juarez hasn't been considered, Joaquín.

Only Nuevo Laredo.

We are considering it now.

The government is doing what I suggest.

And I suggest we take both sectors.

You are changing the plans.

What you want is dough.

And I want order in the business.

The entire border under our control means more dough for everybody.

More dough for everybody...

and absolute power for you.

We all win.

All right.

We'll go after Juarez and Nuevo Laredo.

U.S. weapons just arrived.

The sooner we finish all this, the better.

I have something to tell you.

Chente hasn't arrived yet.

Chente was not invited.

We're no longer doing business with Juarez.

When was that decision made?

Right now.

Here.

But Chente is a partner.

Not anymore.

I got tired of paying him dues.

Joaquín...

it's too much to fuck over the Emes and fuck over Juarez at the same time.

Not if we have the military and the federal police on our side.

We're going to kill two birds with one stone.

If you don't like the idea, you may go, Nazario.

Any objections?

The red dots are the Emes' safe houses.

CAMPO MARTE MILITARY CAMP MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

The ones for Sinaloa are located at these coordinates.

And the labs are located here.

We, the Army,

are in charge of attacking the safe houses and the labs.

The federal police will be placing check points

all over the highways and at each of Nuevo Laredo's possible exits.

What about Juarez?

We will attack them in a different way.

On their cocaine routes.

-We're intercepting them on their way? -That's right.

Another thing, gentlemen.

The Ministerial, State, and Local Police in these zones...

are on the Juarez Cartel's and the Emes' side.

Give it to him. It is urgent.

So.

What is the order?

Whoever is against us, we get rid of them.

Is that understood?

CANO'S RESIDENCE

CHENTE'S RESIDENCE

Hello?

It's Cano.

Chente.

Did you know your main partner is betraying you?
