EPIFANIO Don't let our daughter become you. CAMILA Don't! EPIFANIO ISABELA I want that bitch dead just as much as you do. CAMILA Isabela, don't talk like that. TERESA After our shipment comes in, we'll have too much cash to run with. Cole had promised me a meeting with a banker-Rocco de la Peña-who can help us launder it. ROCCO And for all my magic tricks, I charge you five percent. TERESA Today, I'm moving 30 kilos a week. Do you want to wait until I've doubled that to negotiate with me? ROCCO Four points it is. BOAZ It's my business, now. The only reason I'm giving you a cut is because Epifanio was a gentleman. CAMILA You're not giving me anything, I'm receiving part of the cut, because I am the governor. TERESA Devon, I need your help to get the coke. DEVON The product has been delivered in full. James arranged it. TERESA I have an offer to make. Come work with us. Ah! CORTEZ We need their permission to move on Boaz. CAMILA I want you focused on Teresa. Put all your sicarios on the ground in Valletta. I want blood. JAMES Get in the car, now! TERESA MARK Hey! Come on in, buddy. He's here, honey! Honey, this is Trevor. JAMES Pleased to meet you Mrs. Douglas. DIANE Oh, call me Diane. So good to finally meet you! Ever since you started at the plant, all I hear about is Trevor this and Trevor that. To tell you the truth, I was starting to get a little jealous. JAMES Oh, well down at the plant, all we ever hear is how lucky this guy is to have you. DIANE You're sweet. Well, I hope you brought your appetite with these flowers. JAMES Yes, ma'am. DIANE MARK Come on in. MARK Lord, we'd like to give thanks for our meal and for everyone gathered here. We ask that you provide for all those less fortunate than us, and we ask that you bless this food and our time together, in Jesus' name. ALL Amen. JAMES That was beautiful. DIANE So, Trevor, Mark tells me you used to work for a commodities broker. JAMES That's right. DIANE Well, that sounds exciting. Commodity trading, what's that like? MAN MAN WITH GOATEE JAMES It's murder. Markets are volatile, and the competition is cutthroat. MARK Sounds like manufacturing. JAMES Well, at the end of the day, it's all down to supply and demand, right? MARK That's right. DIANE So, tell us about your family. Any siblings? JAMES I had a little sister, but she passed away when we were young. DIANE Oh, I'm so sorry. What about your folks? Are they still with us? JAMES It's just me. DIANE Well, you should know that everyone who sits at this table's considered family. MARK Ladies, why don't we show Trevor how we welcome family around this house? SUZY I'll do it! MARK All right. Thank you, Suzy. SUZY ? This little light of mine ? ? I'm gonna let it shine ? ? This little light of mine ? ? I'm gonna let it shine ? ? Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine ? TERESA What are you doing here? JAMES Not now. Where are they? TERESA I don't know. I can't see them. JAMES I think we lost them. I guess not. TERESA Watch it! JAMES Ah, shit. Teresa, get down! WOMAN POTE Ugh. Diga. TERESA Pote! WOMAN POTE What's wrong? Are you all right? TERESA They found us. POTE Where are you? I'll come to you. TERESA No! There's no time. JAMES Hold on! POTE Who's that?

MEN TERESA MEN JAMES I just saved your life. TERESA You want to save yours? Turn left. CORTEZ Very impressive, Gobernadora. CAMILA When we're up and running, we're gonna house over 200 orphans. CORTEZ A worthy tribute to Epifanio. CAMILA Yes, but is it enough to silence our detractors? CORTEZ It's a first step. Second is to capture Epifanio's killer. We have her in our sights in Malta. My men are closing in as we speak. CAMILA Good. Tonight that dog is gonna breathe her last breath, and tomorrow we'll celebrate with the opening of the orphanage. CORTEZ Yes, well, I suggest we await confirmation before celebrating. CAMILA They'll wait nothing. If she's in Malta, it's already done. TERESA How did you find me? JAMES Would you mind pointing that somewhere else? TERESA Answer the question. JAMES There's a contract out on someone they call La Princesa. I did some digging, found out this princess is moving Bolivian coke, so I followed the sicarios hoping to help. TERESA That's bullshit. JAMES It's the truth. TERESA Why would you do that? JAMES The last time we met, you offered me a partnership. TERESA And you tried to kill me. JAMES If I really wanted to kill you, you'd be dead. You know that. TERESA Are you working for Camila? JAMES Parted ways a while back. TERESA Answer the question. JAMES No. I'm not working for Camila. TERESA I know you have another gun. Give it to me. Get out of the car. JAMES What are you doing? TERESA Do it slowly. Get out. Open the trunk. JAMES Those are not for you. TERESA Who, then? JAMES I figured I'd have to subdue Pote just to get a word in with you. TERESA Get a zip tie. Tie yourself up. JAMES Teresa. TERESA Get in. JAMES That's not smart. There are people after u. CROWD ANNOUNCER Buenos tardes. CROWD ANNOUNCER émosle bienvenida. BOAZ CROWD BOAZ CROWD BOAZ Andale! BOAZ General, that's what a campeón looks like. CORTEZ I've always admired the courage of the matador. BOAZ Matador? Matador. I'm talking about the bull. Se llama Sicario. He's killed three matador's this month. He's won me a lot of money. So, what'd you want to talk about "without Camila"? CORTEZ Heroin. I have a supplier in Tamaulipas. BOAZ Take a look around, General. This is my bull ring. I don't need to mess around with selling chiva when I wipe my ass with $100 bills, papá. CORTEZ Yes, but not before Camila takes her cut. My supplier would front us all the heroin we would need. We send it north through our regularly scheduled shipments. BOAZ I don't know. As much as I hate giving that bitch her pinch, somos prácticamente familia. CORTEZ Did you know that your "familia" held a private meeting with the Colombians just today? Huh? BOAZ They didn't mention it and neither did she. You think she's trying to move against me? CORTEZ Camila is like an alley cat, and you know what they say? Gato viejo, ratón nuevo. That's why we need to make our own moves. When the heroin business is up and running, we don't need her or Renaldo. ANNOUNCER Damas y caballeros, ¡mírenlo! CROWD ANNOUNCER Tiene veinte años. BOAZ Esta bien. ANNOUNCER Damas y caballeros, Reynaldo. CAMILA Gracias. ISABELA Is that? CAMILA Hm. ISABELA Pablito. Dad gave him to me on my fifth birthday. How'd you remember what he looked like? CAMILA I'm the one that picked him out. ISABELA I used to love that bear. I slept with him every night until I was 12. CAMILA Well, maybe now he can help these poor children sleep, hopefully feel safe. What? ISABELA Something's different about you. You're, like, glowing or something. CAMILA I'm just excited about the opening. ISABELA No.it's not that. Tell me. CAMILA It's nothing. ISABELA You found her. You found Teresa. CAMILA Isabela. ISABELA When is it happening? When will she get what's coming to her? Tell me. I have the right to know. CAMILA Today. ISABELA Good. REPORTER We have breaking news regarding news regarding this morning's bomb explosion in Valletta. Eyewitnesses captured footage of suspects fleeing in a high-speed chase that erupted in gunfire. POTE Are you all right? Where are you? TERESA I'm okay. I just got to the safe house. POTE I stopped by the apartment to grab our things. How did you get away? TERESA James. POTE What? TERESA He's here. He helped me. POTE Is he working for Camila? TERESA I don't know. It doesn't make sense. POTE Where is he now? TERESA In the trunk. POTE Attagirl. I'm leaving now. Keep him on ice until I get there. TERESA Okay. I'll see you soon. SICARIO JAMES You have a beautiful family. MARK I am a blessed man, indeed. Speaking of which, you have been a real godsend to the company. JAMES Just doing my job. MARK Oh, bullshit. I been watching you. You know, Harold is about to retire. I've got my eye on you for his position. JAMES What? No. There must be other people more qualified. MARK Hey, I believe in you, Trevor. Besides, we're family, now. Right? DAUGHTERS Daddy! MARK Hey, bedtime already? DAUGHTERS MARK Come on, let's go. DAUGHTERS Can we have a story? MARK Of course. Of course we can. Just a second. JAMES Yeah? DEVON How we looking in Texas? JAMES We made a mistake. This can't be the guy who hijacked our shipment. DEVON You're sure? JAMES I've searched every inch of the office, and I'm at the house, now. I can't find a single thing that connects him. It just doesn't fit. DEVON Why take a chance? Get it done. Tonight. JAMES Did you hear what I said? I found nothing. DEVON Maybe he's just good at covering his tracks. Either way, we need to mitigate our risks. Otherwise, everything we've built over the last four months could be lost. JAMES I know, but this one doesn't feel right. DEVON Feelings got nothing to do with it. You want to run your own outfit, get it done. Tonight. DAUGHTER 1 Goodnight, Trevor. TERESA REPORTER Without any clear motives for the attack, police are asking the public for help identifying this woman. She's a person of interest and believed to be tied to a high-speed chase and gun battle that followed the attack on the café. If you have any information about her identity, please call. POTE SICARIO SICARIO POTE SICARIO TERESA Pote? POTE Teresa. TERESA Pote! Where are you? POTE I was being followed. I had to double back to lose the tail. TERESA Police or Camila's people? POTE Camila's people. We have to leave this island tonight. We can take the ferry to Gozo. TERESA Police will be searching the ports. Maybe it's better we lay low. POTE No, listen to me. I checked the ports. It's all clear. TERESA Are you sure? POTE You will not have another chance. It's now or never. TERESA All right. I'll see you there. POTE Yeah. Be careful. TERESA You, too. MAN MAN Hey, hey. TERESA JAMES Come on. TERESA Whatever they're paying you, I'll double it. SICARIO SICARIO TERESA Are you hurt? JAMES I'm fine. TERESA What's that? JAMES It's a police scanner. RADIO VOICE Suspect vehicle located. Tactical unit en route. JAMES That's gonna be a problem. TERESA Come with me. JAMES They’re going to search the buildings next. We've got to get out of here. I'm gonna need my gun. TERESA There's no shooting your way out of this. JAMES Look, you and I both know our chances of surviving are better with a gun in my hand. There's only one round. TERESA Then you better aim good. WOMEN ROCCO I figured you'd be halfway to Bolivia by now. TERESA Have you seen the news? ROCCO Darling, everyone's seen it. That's why you shouldn't be calling me. TERESA The police are on their way, and I know you have people on your payroll. If I go down, you don't collect your commission. You know how much money you'd be losing. ROCCO Where are you now? TERESA The Marsa Industrial District. ROCCO Okay. I'll see what I can do. TERESA Let's go. JAMES Who was that? TERESA Rocco de la Peña. JAMES You have a $10 million bounty on your head, and you just gave up our location. TERESA I don't need you to lecture me. The last time I saw you, you were shooting at me. JAMES As I recall, you and your merry men attacked me at the train depot. TERESA Okay, Al sent a copy along to me, and it was for me to take. JAMES No, you walked away from the business. TERESA Camila was trying to kill me, and you betrayed me. JAMES Uh, I didn't betray you. I was protecting you. TERESA I didn't want your protection, and I don't trust you. JAMES You don't trust me? You're only alive because of me. TERESA No, I'm alive because of me. JAMES That's what you think? TERESA You put a tracking device into his Game Boy and sent sicarios after me. Do you not remember that? JAMES I tried to make Camila let you go. That's why I wasn't at the cabin. She didn't trust me to kill you. TERESA Why should I believe you? JAMES Since the first day we met, I've been trying to keep you alive, and whether you want to believe it or not, I'm still trying to, but you have to trust me. TERESA You want me to trust you? I don't even know you. SICARIO 2 SICARIO 1 POTE POTE JAMES Let's stick to the shadows. Follow me. COP Hold it. JAMES Guess it could be worse. TERESA We're going to prison. JAMES In Malta. They serve French bread and teach yoga. TERESA Are you kidding? JAMES No, I saw it on CNN. Top 10 places to do time, Malta was number four. TERESA Who was number one? JAMES Sweden. Prisons are like Ikea stores. TERESA I'd like to trust you, but I barely know you. I know how you shoot, how you fight. JAMES Maybe that's all there is. Why is he turning off the road? TERESA What's happening? Where are you taking us? POTE SICARIO 1 POTE POLICE RADIO MAN Kill the engine. TERESA You can let him go. JAMES Teresa. I'm not going anywhere. TERESA You can't help me. I'm the one you want. I'm Teresa Mendoza. The bounty's for my head. Just listen to me. I'm begging you. ROCCO What are you waiting for, theme music? This is a jailbreak. The lieutenant works for me. Sorry he couldn't let you in on our secret earlier, but he couldn't risk tipping his partner. Well, his ex-partner. TERESA I don't know how to thank you. ROCCO Teresa, you are not out of the woods, yet. The governor of Sinaloa is a very powerful enemy with a very long reach. It's for you. CAMILA You should have known there's no place on Earth you are safe from me. When my men are through with you, you're gonna regret the day you were born. TERESA I only regret not killing you along with Epifanio. CAMILA Ay, Teresita. That was always your problem- you never knew who to trust. And there was only ever one way for this to end for you. ROCCO CORTEZ So? Is it done? CAMILA Rocco's sending souvenirs. CORTEZ CAMILA The heads of your best men. TERESA I don't understand. ROCCO People like Camila only understand the language of death and destruction. She reached out shortly after you. I played along to protect you, so now that I've done what you asked for, I believe a renegotiation about our previous terms would be in order, hmm? TERESA You want your five percent. ROCCO I think six would be fair given the circumstances. Now, can we consummate? Good. TERESA Yes, but first I need to find Pote. ISABELA Mom, everyone's waiting for you to speak. CAMILA I can't. ISABELA POTE TERESA It's okay. It's okay. It's me. It's Teresa. It's okay. It's okay. POTE Teres-Teresita! TERESA It's okay. Oh I thought I lost you. POTE I'm not going any-anywhere. TERESA Let me get you a doctor. POTE No, no. No doctor. TERESA Come here. POTE TERESA I'm so sorry. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. It's okay, it's okay. It's okay. BOAZ General. CORTEZ Something smells delicious. BOAZ It better. It's the most expensive carne asada we'll ever eat. Mi campeón lost his last bout. Nothing left to do but to eat him. CORTEZ I have just the thing to cheer you up. BOAZ CORTEZ Payment for our first load of heroin. BOAZ CORTEZ Best part is-no kickbacks to Camila, no payments to Reynaldo. BOAZ Salud! Heroína. CORTEZ BOAZ Did you make tacos out of Batman? CORTEZ Tasted just like tripas. BOAZ CORTEZ You think that's funny? Wait till you taste the pozole recipe I've got cooked up for Camila. BOAZ I'll bring the cilantro. CORTEZ BOAZ JAMES How is he? TERESA Asleep for now. JAMES You all right? TERESA They tortured him like an animal, but he wouldn't give me up. JAMES He knows you'd do the same. TERESA I'm not that strong. JAMES Yeah, you are. Men like Pote follow strength. You're as strong as they come. You proved that last night. TERESA Why did you come back? Really? JAMES After I split from Camila, I was working with Devon Finch. It was good for awhile. Someone hijacked our shipment. I hunted down the people responsible, but there was one guy left who Devon suspected. He was an outlier. I had my doubts, but Devon wanted him taken out. JAMES Stop struggling. I don't want to hurt your family. DAUGHTER 1 MARK JAMES When I looked into that little girl's eyes. You always said there was a different way. I never believed you. But now I want to do things differently, so I'm asking you-please, let me in. TERESA If we do this, it's not a partnership. You work for me. JAMES You won't regret this. TERESA You might.
