Not really. Why?

He's there, at the border.

(Letvenko) Oh, what a day.

I'm beat.

Hey!

Good to see you,

Mr. Letvenko, sir.

Good to see you, too.

How's the painting business?

It's going, uh, very well, sir.

Ah, sit down, sit down.

Let's have a drink.

It's a hard day, a long day.

Let's relax a little bit.

To your health.

(Damon) Yeah.

Hmm.

(Letvenko) I may have some

business to do in the back.

You need a team.

Good men.

(Damon) You want this done

right, I should use my own men.

(Borlec) These men

work in Mexico.

There's a limit of

talent there, you know?

You won't have much time.

They will have to do.

(Poker Player) All in?

F or a banker?

Not for him.

F or Garza.

Who's Garza?

The Garza family has run

the border since the '60s.

They bankrolled the cartels, but

somehow managed to stay out of

the dirty side of the business.

Real estate, mostly.

A little politics.

We had business with

them some years ago.

A decent man, but weak.

Now...

he's in trouble.

What kind of trouble?

He's into a lender

in Mexico City.

They're calling up the debt.

Serious people in Mexico City.

just about anything to keep him.

Now go.

Good to see you.

Hmm.

Da.

Charlie Wright has betrayed

our trust, Damon...

terribly.

Find him...

and bring him here to us.

Consider it done.

Sir.

(Hill) What was your agent

doing down in Tijuana, Mexico?

The point is, we had

a good sighting.

Now, what we need to do is--

No, no, no, no. What you

had was an unverified

sighting outside a hooker

joint with a drunk agent who

But I trust...

But nothing.

What would Wright, a guy with

all the money in the world,

be doing in a sh*t stew

like Tijuana, Mexico?

You said yourself, he could

go anywhere in the world.

Use your head, Andy.

Please tell me you got

something more than this.

No more funds.

No more agents.

Damage done.

We've got company.

Let's roll.

Mucho dinero.

But why you come to us?

Why don't you go to our federal

authorities, your counterpart?

We're municipal policemen.

Well, it's not exactly

official at this point.

A man steals $10 billion.

It's not official?

I gotta get my green card!

Ha ha ha!

Your man is not in

Tijuana, uh, Officer Hobbs.

If a man spends a lot of

money here, we know it.

May I ask you a question,

between...?

What does an officer

of the F.B.I.

makes, you know, a

month, over there?

Well, it would be an agent...

and that would be a

function of how long you've

been with the agency...

but I believe starting salary

would be around 60 grand.

$60,000?

Sesenta mil dolares

la chinga.

Muchos dinero, eh?

I might be coming back

with a couple agents,

so we'd appreciate

your cooperation.
