El Candidato

Admiral!

The gringo told me to give you this.

I've got a source inside the cartel.

We might be able to get a location on your guys.

What do you want in return?

To not get fucked.

So you're gonna protect that source.

Plus an officer I am bringing in on this.

She's undeclared and she's gonna stay that way, right?

Fine. As you wish.

Zero DEA, zero armed forces.

Just you and me.

Let's go to the Intelligence Center.

I'll meet you there.

I just gotta check if our source is still working for us.

You don't work for a bank.

No.

What the hell are you doing here?

Nicolás Araujo,

Eduardo Oropeza,

and Miguel Téllez.

These Navy Officers were kidnapped

a few hours ago by the Guerrero Cartel.

And you can help us rescue them.

What's this got to do with Natalia?

She's the cartel's banker.

If you help us get her phone,

we'll have a better chance of finding the hostages.

I'm a dog walker.

It's rare that life gives you an opportunity like this.

Right now,

you're the only person who can help us save them.

Who are you?

My name is Isabel Alfaro.

I work for the United States Central Intelligence Agency.

THE CANDIDATE

Trueba and his corrupt government have allied with the Northern Federation

to declare war on our territory,

so we're going to pay back the favor.

Every day at midnight, we're going to kill one of these assholes.

And this will continue until the President

backs his troops off of Guerrero.

You have been warned.

It's a death sentence.

Bautista knows perfectly well

we can't clear our bases in so little time.

And we are 13 hours to zero.

Wayne's contact is tracking the cartel banker's phone now,

so that's the plan.

We know from the gringos that Bautista's banker

is going to circle around to lose any tails.

We're gonna follow her.

As soon as she communicates with her contact in the cartel,

we'll trace the call

and follow the contact to find out where they're holding our guys.

All right. Let's get them back.

Great speech.

It was bull.

She might not circle around today.

Or her contact might not be in the city.

He might not go back to the safe house,

or the hostages might not be there.

That would've made a shitty speech.

Get me the phone, Wayne.

Ending violence is one of our most important challenges

as Mexicans and as a society.

Let there be no doubt,

federal law enforcement will find these criminals.

This crime will not go unpunished.

I can't stand that guy.

-Morning. Thank you. -Good morning.

Lalo,

those soldiers are good people.

I'm going to do all I can to rescue them.

I promise.

Aren't you going for your smoke?

No, I'm trying to quit.

Really?

My wife says it gives me bad breath.

Okay, don't insist.

We have to change the plan to make him leave.

I know how to make him leave.

When he's out, go directly to the safe and do as we planned. Okay?

Cough if you understood me.

You can do this, Pamela.

Are you okay?

I'll call you if he's heading back.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

Yes, fine.

What the fuck was that? Shit!

Hey, what is going on, ma'am?

You scared me.

You hit a parked car!

But your SUV is really far from the sidewalk.

It's not far. It's perfectly parked.

But it wasn't like that when I hit it.

Look, if your car means that much, you should've left it inside.

Do you live around here?

Where are you from?

What is it to you?

Don't tell me you're armed?

What? Don't be ridiculous.

I'm here on Temístocles Street

and this man, this bodyguard, is threatening me

-because I scratched his car. -Stop recording.

Nobody is threatening you.

-Who do you work for? -Delete it.

-Don't touch me! -Delete it!

-Delete it! -That's enough.

Here.

With some to spare. Your boss won't ever find out.

Pamela?

Pamela.

He's coming back. Did you do it?

-I think so. -You think so?

I'm really scared.

Just get me that phone.

And don't forget to change the dog collar.

Come here.

Can you believe this?

Some fucking woman hit the boss's car.

I hope she doesn't fire me.

And just today you quit smoking.

Tell me about it.

The UECS haven't stopped.

Checking leads, conducting searches,

tapping the phones of anyone

who's had the slightest contact with the cartel, and nothing.

And the C5 analysts?

They must have seen something.

The kidnappers avoided streets with cameras, sir.

The kidnapping experts?

Our men haven't even been able to get in.

Why the fuck not?

The Navy closed the street and took the car.

They've got us blocked off like never before.

Keep checking with your informants and the tapped phones.

I want triple the staff on C5.

Use all the overtime you need, okay?

-Okay. -Of course.

There was no contact with Romero.

We're out of the investigation.

Receiving.

It's not enough.

We need more.

There's the collar.

And the photo of the SIM?

Thank fucking God.

You did it.

It's over, okay? Done.

This is as far as I go.

Yes.

Your money.

And this morning, we paid the hospital.

Mónica's treatment is covered.

Listen.

Any change can seem suspicious.

I need you to keep working for Natalia, just for a few months.

Then you can start getting worse until she fires you.

Okay.

I'll keep an eye on you this week.

To make sure everything is okay.

Thank you so much, Pamela.

With this, we can save those men.

Bye.

Got the collar.

Carol!

I heard you.

Inbox.

-Hey. -Hey!

How did it go?

We got the SIM card.

Yes!

What are you working on?

Doing those file reviews for targeting.

Wildfire, Penumbra?

TOP SECRET

Aren't those Wayne's assets?

Yeah, there's something I gotta ask him about later.

Something important?

I'm not sure yet.

Okay. I gotta go.

-I love you. -I love you too.

Go get 'em.

Eva.

Today we need your blessing more than ever.

Of course, Rafa.

Oh, thin lady.

Oh, thin lady.

Beloved Santa Muerte.

Beloved Santa Muerte.

These men are about to face a very powerful enemy.

Do not let anything, nor anyone do them any harm.

Cover them with your protective cloak,

and deceive those who wish harm on them.

Admiral.

This is my colleague, John Smith.

Hello, John.

Thank you for your help.

The banker is leaving her house.
