00:00:03

Are we done?

00:00:03

WALT: Listen, I--

00:00:05

This attack on my brother-in-law,

00:00:07

I don't know what it means.

00:00:09

Please.

00:00:12

I fear for my family.

00:00:14

I'm sure they'll be fine.

00:00:17

I am told the assassin that survived is gravely injured.

00:00:21

It's doubtful he'll live.

00:00:23

Now, thank me and shake my hand.

00:00:29

Thank you.

00:00:29

Thank you again.

00:00:31

You're quite welcome,

00:00:31

Mr. White.

00:00:37

Can we go now?

00:00:37

Upstairs, come on.

00:00:39

[ALL CLAMORING]

00:00:40

What's happening?

00:00:43

[EKG FLATLINING]

00:00:43

MAN: Eight forty-three.

00:00:45

WOMAN:

00:00:45

Time of death, 20:43.

00:00:49

Burn in hell, you piece of shit.

NEWS ANCHOR [OVER TV]:

00:00:57

One of the suspected gunmen

00:00:57

died at the scene.

00:01:00

The second succumbed to his

00:01:00

wounds earlier this evening.

00:01:03

Agents with the DEA and FBI,

00:01:05

in conjunction with APD

00:01:05

homicide detectives,

00:01:08

are working with Mexican

00:01:08

law enforcement

00:01:10

in an attempt to identify

00:01:10

the deceased suspects. Both--

00:01:31

I can give you the highlights.

00:01:34

Your nephews grew impatient.

00:01:36

They continued to press me for my permission to kill Walter White.

00:01:40

When I wouldn't give it, they settled instead for DEA Agent Schrader.

00:01:46

But a phone call was placed to Agent Schrader moments before the attack.

00:01:51

Thus giving him the upper hand.

00:01:54

Marco was shot in the face and died instantly.

00:01:57

Leonel lingered for several hours.

00:02:00

The warning call to the DEA agent,

00:02:04

Juan Bolsa may have some insight into who placed it.

00:02:10

Yesterday, the federales raided his hacienda.

00:02:13

And in the confusion,

00:02:13

Juan was shot dead.

00:02:16

An accident, perhaps.

00:02:19

A mistake made by his own men.

00:02:23

Though we may never know.

00:02:25

At any rate, I thought you should hear it from me.

00:02:39

This is what comes of blood for blood, Hector.

[EASY-LISTENING MUSIC

00:03:36

So is this the loud one?

00:03:41

What?

00:03:42

I can never remember.

00:03:44

Is this the loud machine with the magnets?

00:03:49

No. This is the PET/CT scan.

00:03:51

Positron emission tomography.

00:03:56

They've paired that with computed x-ray tomography.

00:04:05

Quiet. No magnets.

00:04:08

Right, okay.

00:04:10

Yeah, thanks.

00:04:13

I'm still pretty new at this.

00:04:15

I mean, one minute,

00:04:15

I'm starting a new business, my wife and I are thinking about kids.

00:04:20

Walk into a doctor's office and suddenly...

00:04:22

[MAN IMITATES EXPLOSION]

00:04:23

I mean, life as I know it--

00:04:23

Excuse me.

00:04:27

Yes. I'm-- I'm waiting to hear a progress report on the thing we discussed, so call me.

00:04:38

Anyway, so for me, that's been the biggest wake-up call.

00:04:41

Letting go, giving up control.

00:04:44

You know, it's like they say,

00:04:44

"Man plans and God laughs."

00:04:48

That is such bullshit.

00:04:53

Excuse me?

00:04:55

Never give up control.

00:04:58

Live life on your own terms.

00:05:02

Yeah, no,

00:05:02

I get what you're saying, but cancer is cancer, so...

00:05:07

To hell with your cancer.

00:05:09

I've been living with cancer for the better part of a year.

00:05:13

Right from the start, it's a death sentence.

00:05:15

That's what they keep telling me.

00:05:17

Well, guess what?

00:05:19

Every life comes with a death sentence.

00:05:22

So every few months, I come in here for my regular scan, knowing full well that one of these times--

00:05:31

Hell, maybe even today.

00:05:34

--I'm gonna hear some bad news.

00:05:37

But until then, who's in charge?

00:05:42

Me.

00:05:46

That's how I live my life.

00:06:06

This residue here is why we descale with cool water from the walk-in and not water from the tap.

00:06:11

[PHONE RINGING]

00:06:11

Do it again, please.

00:06:17

Pollos Hermanos, where something delicious is always cooking.

00:06:22

Yes, detective.

00:06:29

[OFFICERS CHATTERING]

00:06:48

Yeah.

00:06:49

[DOOR CLOSES]

00:06:51

MERKERT:

00:06:51

Gustavo, thanks for coming.

00:06:53

How's Kathi?

00:06:54

Much better, thank you.

00:06:56

And you know

00:06:56

Hank Schrader?

00:06:57

Oh, yes, indeed.

00:06:59

And Steve Gomez?

00:06:59

How was your meal?

00:07:01

Agent Schrader and I had a chance to catch up at one of my restaurants a few days ago.

00:07:05

I'd eat there every day but

00:07:05

I wouldn't fit through the door.

00:07:07

[ALL CHUCKLE]

00:07:09

Well, should we get started?

00:07:09

HANK: Yeah.

00:07:12

ROBERTS:

00:07:12

I'd like to record this conversation.

00:07:14

GUS:

00:07:14

Of course.

00:07:16

[RECORDER BEEPS]

00:07:20

The DEA is working on an investigation which may overlap with my own, so I've asked them to sit in with us today.

00:07:28

Gus, we all appreciate your coming in here to talk to us, but you have the right to have an attorney present also.

00:07:34

Oh, well, I can't see how that would be necessary.

00:07:37

But then again,

00:07:37

I have no idea why I'm here.

00:07:40

So you wish to continue?

00:07:41

Please. I'm very anxious to find out what this is all about.

00:07:46

Sir, your fingerprints were found at a crime scene.

00:07:50

Really?

00:07:50

That's surprising.

00:07:54

ROBERTS:

00:07:54

A drug-related homicide.

00:08:00

[SIGHS]

00:08:02

Gale Boetticher's apartment.

00:08:09

So you knew the victim?

00:08:15

Fifteen years ago, I established a chemistry scholarship at UNM.

00:08:20

I named it after Maximino Arciniega, a dear friend of mine who died too young.

00:08:25

Gale was a recipient of this scholarship.

00:08:28

He was perhaps one of three dozen.

00:08:32

I see.

00:08:35

And Mr. Boetticher graduated in...

00:08:39

1999.

00:08:41

That sounds right.

00:08:43

And you kept in contact with him over all this time?

00:08:45

Oh, no. I hadn't seen Gale for years until I ran into him a few weeks ago.

00:08:50

Ran into him where?

00:08:50

At the restaurant.

00:08:53

Uh, well, "ran into" isn't quite accurate, as I assumed he came by to re-establish contact with me.

00:08:59

We caught up briefly.

00:09:01

He invited me to dinner the following night and I accepted.

00:09:06

It was perhaps a week later when

00:09:06

I read about him in the paper.

00:09:11

Drug related, you said?

00:09:12

MERKERT:

00:09:12

It's a good possibility.

00:09:14

The paper made no mention of that.

00:09:16

I assumed that it was a random crime.

00:09:19

HANK:

00:09:19

So after years with no contact, he shows up in your restaurant, remakes your acquaintance and invites you to dinner?

00:09:26

He wanted money.

00:09:27

Gale Boetticher asked for money?

00:09:29

GUS:

00:09:29

He didn't come out and say that.

00:09:31

He spoke in terms of a vague investment opportunity.

00:09:35

But it was my suspicion, yes, as to why he invited me into his home.

00:09:39

He was a very, very talented chemist.

00:09:42

But for reasons

00:09:42

I never understood, he was more interested in taking shortcuts than what would or could have been a very promising career.

00:09:52

But personal shortcomings notwithstanding, he was a warm, gentle person, and I thought a lot of him.

00:10:01

At any rate, I, uh, declined his business offer.

00:10:06

And after what was a very pleasant meal, left.

00:10:09

ROBERTS:

00:10:09

Can you tell us where you were on the night of Wednesday the 23rd at around 8 p.m.?

00:10:15

Not an accusation, just a question.

00:10:17

No, I understand.

00:10:17

Let's see.

00:10:22

Twenty-third.

00:10:24

Ah. I was at a fundraiser at Presbyterian Hospital.

00:10:28

I was there from 7 to about 10.

00:10:35

Anyone else?

00:10:40

Uh, sorry, yeah. Just, uh--

00:10:40

Just one other thing.

00:10:43

Is Gustavo Fring your real name?

00:10:48

Is it my real name?

00:10:50

I know you're a Chilean national, but there are no records of you ever living there.

00:10:57

Really?

00:11:00

I mean, records show that you immigrated to Mexico in 1986, and then a couple years later, you were granted an entry visa to the United States.

00:11:10

But there's no record of Gustavo Fring ever having existed in Chile, which I find,

00:11:15

I don't know, strange.

00:11:19

Well, no, really, it isn't.

00:11:21

Pinochet's government was guilty of a great many sins.

00:11:24

First and foremost were human rights abuses.

00:11:27

But it was also notoriously unreliable at keeping records.

00:11:31

I'm sure if you keep digging, you'll find me.

00:11:38

Okay, I think that's it, Gus.

00:11:38

Um, thank you.

00:11:41

I hope that I was of some small help.

00:11:43

You were, absolutely.

00:11:43

Thank you.

00:11:46

You're very welcome.

00:11:47

Good to see you again.

00:11:47

Oh, no.

00:11:49

No, please, please.

00:11:49

Don't get up.

00:11:51

Thanks.

00:11:57

Gentlemen.

00:12:01

[DOOR OPENS]

00:12:06

[ELEVATOR DINGING]

00:12:21

So are we buying?

00:12:23

This thing with his name?

00:12:23

What are you thinking there?

00:12:26

Sure, the record-keeping in South America's hit or miss.

00:12:29

I mean, we run into that all the time, right?

00:12:31

But we usually find something.

00:12:33

I mean, before '86 this guy's a ghost.

00:12:35

If State Department wasn't satisfied with his records, they wouldn't have naturalized him.

00:12:39

Well, maybe, but he emigrated from Mexico in '89.

00:12:43

State just wasn't as tough on background checks pre-9/11.

00:12:46

GOMEZ:

00:12:46

Regardless, I don't know what this has to do with the case at hand.

00:12:49

I was definitely curious when his print showed up at Boetticher's apartment.

00:12:54

But for me, the scholarship thing explains it.

00:12:56

MERKERT:

00:12:56

Well, I'll admit to a certain degree of bias.

00:12:58

This man has been a longtime friend of DEA.

00:13:02

But that being said, uh, I thought his story was credible.

00:13:07

Well, I agree.

00:13:07

I think it was a good story.

00:13:10

Still, why are we hearing it now?

00:13:12

MERKERT:

00:13:12

What do you mean?

00:13:13

Well, like you said, he's a--

00:13:15

This man is a big law enforcement booster.

00:13:18

One day he's reading the newspaper and sees that someone he just had dinner with, someone he thought a lot of, was murdered.

00:13:25

He reads this and he doesn't make a phone call?

00:13:28

Didn't call you or one of his other cop friends to share his connection with the case or ask about the investigation?

00:13:37

We can't predicate a criminal investigation on a person not making phone calls.

00:13:44

What do you think, Tim?

00:13:45

Well, I wanna follow up on the scholarship, the alibi, but my overall impression?

00:13:52

I believed him.

00:14:03

Nice touch.

00:14:03

Birdbath. Ha.

00:14:08

Hey, tiger, how's it hanging?

00:14:10

Good.

00:14:13

Yeah, so very nice.

00:14:16

What's the damage?

00:14:18

Twelve hundred a month.

00:14:18

I did a lot of research, and for this neighborhood that's a pretty good deal.

00:14:23

You kidding me?

00:14:23

That's a great deal.

00:14:25

Speaking of which, ahem, that's for the week.

00:14:30

Plus there's a little extra in there for any move-related incidentals.

00:14:34

Thank you.

00:14:35

Hey, champ, how's the new school?

00:14:38

Good.

00:14:38

SAUL: I loved school when I was your age.

00:14:40

Ha, seesaws, story time, chasing girls with sticks.

00:14:45

[SAUL LAUGHS]

00:14:54

It wasn't until the fifth grade that I found out she liked me too. but by then her family had moved to Scottsdale, so...

00:15:03

[SIGHS]

00:15:06

Carpe diem, okay?

00:15:07

Okay.

00:15:08

All right.

00:15:08

Good boy. Ha!

00:15:10

So you'll thank Jesse again from both of us?

00:15:14

You got it.

00:15:17

So is he--?

00:15:17

How's he doing?

00:15:19

Jesse?

00:15:24

[SIGHS]

00:15:26

He's good.

00:15:27

He's, uh-- He's busy.

00:15:39

How is it?

00:15:41

Space, lots of light. It's--

00:15:43

Little garden out back.

00:15:43

It's nice.

00:15:45

[SIGHS]

00:15:46

And Brock?

00:15:46

How's he doing?

00:15:50

Hey, look, I don't mind dropping checks off every week like Ed McMahon, but if you really wanna know how they're doing, why don't you go see for yourself?

00:16:06

I'll catch you later.

00:16:08

Hey, you gonna need a ride home?

00:16:10

JESSE:

00:16:10

No.

00:16:18

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

00:17:02

SKYLER:

00:17:02

Anyway, I'm proud for not losing my cool.

00:17:05

Plus, it shows our wipe-down crew that I will support them if a customer's being really rude to them.

00:17:10

You're really taking to this whole be-your-own-boss thing.

00:17:14

Yeah. I guess I am.

00:17:18

Actually,

00:17:20

I'm thinking about making the move up to management.

00:17:24

Oh, Jesus. Corporate America, look out.

00:17:26

Oh, excuse me,

00:17:26

I would be a vast improvement.

00:17:29

No one in Kleinman's entire front office knows the first thing about giving an x-ray, which just-- Ugh.

00:17:35

Hey, Dad, whatever happened with your scan?

00:17:38

Did you get the results back?

00:17:40

WALT:

00:17:40

Yeah.

00:17:42

I did.

00:17:45

And I'm still in remission.

00:17:47

So you're all gonna have to be stuck with me for a while longer.

00:17:50

HANK: Cheers, buddy.

00:17:55

What about you, Hank?

00:17:55

How you feeling these days?

00:17:58

You know, getting there.

00:18:00

MARIE:

00:18:00

The other day, he had a big powwow with all the DEA muckety-mucks.

00:18:05

WALT:

00:18:05

What was that about?

00:18:08

Nothing. Just a dead-end.

00:18:11

MARIE:

00:18:11

He won't tell me, either.

00:18:12

Apparently, it's all very hush-hush.

00:18:16

HANK:

00:18:16

Hey, Walt, do me a favor?

00:18:20

Marie's working tomorrow and there's a gem and mineral show that's opening at the fairgrounds.

00:18:25

I was wondering if you could maybe give me a lift?

00:18:28

Yeah. Sure.

00:18:31

WALT:

00:18:31

I had a collection of my own back in high school.

00:18:34

I mean, nothing fancy.

00:18:35

Just entry-level beryls and garnets, one passable black tourmaline.

00:18:41

Turn right here.

00:18:41

Okay.

00:18:43

But I did have one piece of morganite that was very special.

00:18:49

It'd been heat-treated, so it had that classic cast to it.

00:18:53

That rose, almost salmon hue, you know?

00:18:57

Hey, Walt, there's no rock show, okay?

00:19:00

I just said that so Marie wouldn't freak.

00:19:03

Here. Take a right here.

00:19:09

Freak about what?

00:19:12

Hank, where are we going?

00:19:19

Are you hungry?

00:19:23

HANK:

00:19:23

We're not here for the chicken.

00:19:25

Kill the engine.

00:19:29

[TURNS OFF ENGINE]

00:19:31

All right.

00:19:32

[CHUCKLES]

00:19:33

You ready for your mind to be blown?

00:19:36

Uh, sure.

00:19:38

Gustavo Fring.

00:19:40

Remember him?

00:19:43

He came to the hospital after the shooting to put up the reward?

00:19:46

He sponsors the DEA Fun Run every year. You've met him?

00:19:51

Yeah, the Fun Run guy. Yeah.

00:19:51

That guy, yeah.

00:19:55

What about him?

00:19:56

Well, I suspect--

00:19:58

I can't prove it, mind you, but I suspect, the man's a drug dealer.

00:20:05

Hm.

00:20:07

Yeah. Methamphetamine.

00:20:09

I mean, honest to God,

00:20:09

I really believe that this guy may be one of the biggest movers in the southwest.

00:20:17

Remember Gale Boetticher?

00:20:18

That sad sack from the karaoke videotape?

00:20:20

Yeah.

00:20:20

And you said that he didn't strike you as being the boss-man type?

00:20:25

That there was a much bigger guy out there, right?

00:20:27

Hank, that was--

00:20:27

That was just speculation.

00:20:29

It doesn't matter.

00:20:29

It made me keep at it.

00:20:32

And guess what I find?

00:20:34

Chicken Man's fingerprints at Boetticher's murder scene.

00:20:38

So we bring him in--

00:20:40

You think that Gustavo Fring killed Gale Boetticher?

00:20:44

Well, probably not.

00:20:46

These guys usually get a dunce to pull the trigger, right?

00:20:49

His fingerprints being there was enough for us to bring him in.

00:20:52

So you brought him in to the police?

00:20:54

Right. He sits down to talk with us. The problem is that--

00:20:58

What did you ask him?

00:20:58

What did he say?

00:21:01

Walt, will you let me finish my story here?

00:21:03

Sorry, I'm just, uh, interested, you know?

00:21:07

All right. Whatever.

00:21:07

So we bring him in and he proceeds to kick our asses.

00:21:12

Okay? He's got an explanation for the fingerprints, all right?

00:21:16

He's got an alibi for Gale's murder.

00:21:18

I mean, he's got reasons for everything.

00:21:20

This guy is

00:21:20

Terms of Endearment convincing.

00:21:23

So-- So he's not guilty?

00:21:25

Yeah. As far as DEA and APD are concerned, he's not.

00:21:29

Officially,

00:21:29

Fring's not a suspect.

00:21:32

But I'm telling you, something deep down says he's my guy.

00:21:38

I just gotta prove it.

00:21:43

Hank, why are you--?

00:21:43

Why are you telling me this?

00:21:48

I need a favor.

00:21:51

What favor?

00:21:53

You see that Volvo station wagon over there?

00:21:58

I mean, the guy drives a 10-year-old Volvo.

00:22:00

It's brilliant.

00:22:00

Anyway, listen...

00:22:02

[SIGHS]

00:22:03

...what I need for you to do...

00:22:08

...stick this on it.

00:22:13

GPS tracker.

00:22:15

You know, wifey thinks hubby's screwing around on her but she wants to be sure?

00:22:20

Stick this on the car--

00:22:20

This part here, it's a magnet.

00:22:23

--and see where he goes.

00:22:25

Cool, huh?

00:22:26

Two eighty-nine from SkyMall.

00:22:28

[LAUGHS]

00:22:29

Unfortunately, it's not live-view, so we gotta come back later and, you know, take it off and stick it in the computer.

00:22:36

Still, pretty amazing times we're living in.

00:22:38

Hank, isn't that illegal?

00:22:40

I mean, isn't there some sort of unlawful search and something--

00:22:44

It's known as extralegal.

00:22:46

But trust me, it's our little secret.

00:22:49

[CHUCKLES]

00:22:51

Look, it's easy, okay?

00:22:51

Here's what you do.

00:22:55

You untie your shoelace and you head toward the restaurant.

00:22:59

As you're walking past the car, you look down and, "Hey, darn, my shoe's untied." Okay?

00:23:04

Now, when you bend down to tie your shoe, you stick this up into the wheel well.

00:23:09

Then you go inside and I don't know--

00:23:11

Hank, I-- I don't-- I don't feel good about this at all.

00:23:14

Look, Walt, I-- I know that this kind of thing is outside your comfort zone--

00:23:17

No, I mean it.

00:23:17

This is a mistake.

00:23:20

Walt, I need you to help me out here, okay?

00:23:23

I mean, this is really important to me.

00:23:25

Jesus, are you gonna make me beg you?

00:23:26

Come on.

00:23:26

Just stick it in there.

00:23:36

Yeah.

00:23:37

Just act normal.

00:24:22

May I help you?

00:24:28

I-- I--

00:24:29

Sir, may I help you?

00:24:37

I didn't do it. See?

00:24:40

I didn't do it.

00:24:41

Do it.

00:24:45

Do it.

00:24:47

May I help you with your order?

00:24:51

[MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY]

00:25:09

What the hell is he...?

00:25:18

Just, uh, made sure it was secure.

00:25:21

[GRUNTS]

00:25:23

Hey, where's my soda?

00:25:26

Just kidding.

00:25:28

Let's go. Let's go.

00:25:28

[ENGINE STARTS]

00:25:45

MAN:

00:25:45

Yes, that one.

00:25:49

[♪♪♪]

00:26:01

Look, I swear to God,

00:26:03

I thought I was driving the man to a gem and mineral show.

00:26:06

And all of a sudden he has me pulling into your restaurant and telling me that he's investigating you.

00:26:12

Look, you and I, we've had our differences, but I would never--

00:26:21

Look, my brother-in-law, evidence-wise, has nothing.

00:26:26

He's operating on pure conjecture.

00:26:29

And no one, not one person that he works with, thinks that you are anyone other than an owner of a fast-food chain.

00:26:37

But if something were to happen to Hank, then that would only draw their attention to you and therefore, to me, as well.

00:26:44

So we have a mutual interest in resolving this without violence.

00:26:48

I will make sure that he discovers nothing.

00:27:01

[DOORBELL RINGING]

00:27:04

Jesse!

00:27:05

What? Oh, hey.

00:27:05

Don't wait to be, like, invited.

00:27:11

Are we alone?

00:27:16

So where do we stand?

00:27:17

Where do we stand on what?

00:27:19

Where do we stand with the thing that you were supposed to do?

00:27:23

I assume you haven't done it.

00:27:24

You didn't lose it, did you?

00:27:27

You would tell me if you lost it, right?

00:27:29

Oh, Jesus.

00:27:32

Asshole. You're creaming to get it done, go do it yourself.

00:27:35

If he didn't see me coming like he's some kind of...

00:27:40

All right, look.

00:27:40

Our timetable has advanced.

00:27:43

You have got to make this meeting happen this week.

00:27:46

Tomorrow.

00:27:46

Tonight, if possible.

00:27:49

Oh, tonight. Wow.

00:27:49

What are you, high?

00:27:53

My brother-in-law, my DEA agent brother-in-law?

00:27:58

He's onto Gus.

00:28:03

Huh.

00:28:06

Did you hear what I just said?

00:28:06

My brother-in-law is onto Gus.

00:28:10

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, your brother-in-law.

00:28:12

Okay? I'm thinking.

00:28:15

[SIGHS]

00:28:17

Look, um...

00:28:19

So, what if this is like math or algebra?

00:28:24

We add a plus douche bag to a minus douche bag and you get, like, zero douche bags.

00:28:31

I've got some math for you.

00:28:34

Hank catching Gus equals Hank catching us.

00:28:40

Hank is-- He's relentless, all right?

00:28:42

He won't quit.

00:28:44

Yeah, well, he's got nothing, is all I can say.

00:28:47

How would you know that?

00:28:48

Because he's still above ground.

00:28:51

Think a dude like Gus would let your boy anywhere near him?

00:28:56

He'll break out his box cutter on his sorry gimp ass.

00:29:00

So you haven't even seen him since that time at the diner?

00:29:09

Okay.

00:29:14

Think. All right.

00:29:21

They've got to be figuring that we've talked.

00:29:24

So you need to tell Mike that you are worried about Hank's investigation.

00:29:29

Okay? Hank already knows who you are, by the way.

00:29:32

And besides, you actually did kill Gale, so there's that.

00:29:38

This is all good fodder for you to request a sit-down with Gus, so you can discuss what you would say in case Hank brings you in for questioning.

00:29:45

Okay? Now, you just-- You just say that you want to be--

00:29:49

No, that-- That you need to be able to be properly coached.

00:29:53

Then, when you're near him, you put this to use.

00:29:57

Mike's just gonna tell me to shut my mouth if I get busted.

00:30:01

He ain't gonna set up no meeting.

00:30:03

Well, then insist on it, damn it!

00:30:05

Act panicked.

00:30:07

Gus' ass is on the line.

00:30:09

And trust me, he will meet with you if he thinks that you're a liability.

00:30:12

No. He will waste me if he thinks I'm a liability.

00:30:15

[SNIFFS]

00:30:17

You know what?

00:30:18

Whatever, man.

00:31:51

Yes?

00:31:52

MIKE:

00:31:52

I did some digging around.

00:31:54

And?

00:31:56

Neither the DEA nor the APD considers you a person of interest.

00:32:00

Schrader's looking into you

00:32:00

totally on his lonesome.

00:32:03

A voice in the wilderness.

00:32:05

Does he have resources?

00:32:06

Just him, his credit card

00:32:06

and his chauffeur Walter.

00:32:09

From what I head, he'd be committing career suicide if he were to mention you to Merkert again.

00:32:14

GUS:

00:32:14

So no warrant for

00:32:14

the tracking device on my car?

00:32:17

No. The guy's gone totally maverick.

00:32:20

He's Miss Daisy with binoculars.

00:32:22

We watch our backs, make sure we don't throw him any bones.

00:32:25

He'll never make a case.

00:32:27

What about Chile?

00:32:28

If I can't find

00:32:28

any trace of you before '89,

00:32:31

I seriously doubt

00:32:31

Schrader can.

00:32:33

Seems to me the bigger problem is the cartel.

00:32:37

Now, we can handle them if that's all we've got on our plate.

00:32:41

But dealing with both Schrader and the Mexicans at the same time?

00:32:46

If he happens to be watching when they make a move,

00:32:50

it could be

00:32:50

the perfect storm.

00:32:53

Thank you.

00:32:55

I'll be in touch.

[DON ELADIO CHUCKLES]

00:36:17

You two...

00:36:20

That chicken you cook...

00:36:23

I swear, it has got to be the tastiest chicken in all of Mexico.

00:36:28

Thank you, Don Eladio.

00:36:29

It's a great honor.

00:36:31

Max is the chef.

00:36:33

The compliments are all his.

00:36:35

Gustavo is too modest.

00:36:36

There'd be no restaurant without him.

00:36:38

Well, however you two do it, keep it up.

00:36:42

Your chicken, it's so...zesty.

00:36:47

Piquant.

00:36:49

But it does not taste like a Mexican style.

00:36:52

It's a recipe

00:36:52

I learned in Chile which I've modified a bit for the Mexican palate.

00:36:57

I bet we like a little more chili than you Chileans.

00:37:02

We Mexicans like a good hard kick!

00:37:07

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

00:37:31

Ha, ha.

00:37:35

Good, good. Mm.

00:37:37

But tell me something.

00:37:40

That chicken, so fabulous, so excellent...

00:37:46

Besides that, what else do you have on your menu?

00:37:49

We have several side dishes.

00:37:52

Rice. Beans.

00:37:54

Sometimes we prepare a carnitas entrée if we come across fresh beef in the market.

00:38:01

DON ELADIO:

00:38:01

Anything else?

00:38:03

Come on, be honest.

00:38:05

There is nothing else you offer?

00:38:07

A little taste of something else?

00:38:10

Something on the side?

00:38:12

Because when I send my men to your restaurant, they come back with more than just chicken.

00:38:22

They come back with drugs.

00:38:29

00:39:00

That is to say we could think of no other way to get your attention.

00:39:07

We want to work with you,

00:39:07

Don Eladio.

00:39:11

I know all about methamphetamine.

00:39:15

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

00:39:17

That's poor man's cocaine.

00:39:22

Only bikers and hillbillies use it.

00:39:28

There's no money in it.

00:39:31

May I, Don Eladio...

00:39:33

I am a biochemist by training.

00:39:35

The methamphetamine we make is much superior to the so-called biker crank you know of.

00:39:42

It is crystallized, like glass.

00:39:44

Purer.

00:39:45

And the chirality of the molecule, its very structure, is different.

00:39:50

The narcotic effect is far more potent.

00:39:52

This product is the drug of the future.

00:39:55

Ahh.

00:40:12

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

00:40:15

Right now, you deal almost exclusively with cocaine.

00:40:18

But the coca plant can't grow in Mexico.

00:40:21

You are no more than middlemen for the Colombians.

00:40:26

They cut you a percentage for smuggling across the border.

00:40:32

But the lion's share of the profits goes to them despite your assumption of all the risk.

00:40:42

This new crystal methamphetamine...

00:40:45

It's stronger, more addictive than cocaine, which means it will move in higher volume.

00:40:53

But most importantly, it's completely artificial.

00:40:57

We can show you how to manufacture it right here in Mexico.

00:41:00

And you keep all the profits.

Gustavo didn't mean to offend.

00:43:11

I know Gustavo like a brother.

00:43:13

He's an honorable man.

00:43:14

The most loyal man

00:43:14

I have ever known.

00:43:17

He rescued me from the Santiago slums.

00:43:20

He made me the man I am today!

00:43:22

Gustavo is a genius.

00:43:22

He will make you millions!

00:43:24

Just find it in your heart to forgive him this one small mistake.

00:43:29

Please...

00:43:30

00:44:33

Listen to me.

00:44:35

The only reason you are alive and he is not is because I know who you are.

00:44:45

But understand...

00:44:47

You are not in Chile anymore.

00:45:01

TIO:

00:45:01

My advice...

00:45:03

Stick to chicken.
