Big mistake.

Are we really

going to get caught up

in this sh*t, Chon?

We could get out of a business

we want to get out of anyway.

What if I'm not

ready to walk away?

(SCOFFS)

Then you run it.

That's not what I do.

Then Iet me do what

I do best, all right?

We built this, it's ours.

Why the f*** do you

want to give it away?

You see that video?

I've seen worse

and I'd do worse to them.

Yeah, and I wouldn't.

They're going to think

we're afraid of them.

I am afraid of them.

I'm not.

We're not all you, Chon.

I didn't get into this

thing to kill people.

You don't get it, do you?

It's a jungle thing, Ben.

When they smell your fear,

they Iike it.

They will attack us.

They're f***ing savages.

Surrender

is not defeat, Chon.

You're resisting change.

Just Iet it go.

Uh-oh. Testosterone.

Close your Iegs,

it's showing.

Sorry.

I was talking to him.

Hey, can you boys

take me out somewhere nice?

Come on.

We can drink a Iittle,

relax.

It's been a while.

OPHELIA:
This is Lado.

He is a man of many skills.

Gardening is just his day job.

I'm going to go

take a shower, baby.

You want to

come join me?

Absolutely.

Ah-ah. Not yet.

(DOORBELL CHIMES)

Baby, did you

order a f***ing plant?

Roberto Rodriguez

wants a refund.

Whoa, whoa.

Look, you hire a Iawyer,

you pay him, win or Iose.

Roberto knew the deal.

That much coke?

There's no "get out

of jail free" card.

So, instead,

you do all his coke

and miss all

the motions and objections.

You turn

a five-year stretch into 20.

Mijo, take a Iook.

He figures you owe him

Okay, I got it.

I can still help the guy.

I got juice. I'll file

an appeal, all right?

I got money.

How much does he need?

Name a price.

He doesn't want your money.

He wants your years.

How old are you,

exactly?

Forty-two. But what...

Roberto says to

shoot you in one knee,

make you 52.

Both knees, 62.

Stop, please!

Sound fair, Mr. Lawyer?

Just give me

a f***ing chance to talk.

I can help you, okay?

How can you help me?

How?

I can hook you up

with EI Azul, that's how.

Why would that

be good for me?

Because he's

going to win.

Because you know

Elena Sanchez can't cut

the sh*t in this business.

Azul knows

the turf in Mexico, man.

He's buying your cops,

your judges.

He's political, man.

He's coming fast,

it won't be Iong.

You want on his train?

I can stamp your ticket.

I pick up that phone,

and you're in.

Go ahead, pick it up.

Okay. AII right.

(DIALING)

(MAN GREETING IN SPANISH)

Hey, it's Chad.

Tell el Jefe "Chip,"

though.

I need to talk

to him right away.

I got good news.

So, pal, who do I say

is calling?

(REPEATS IN SPANISH)

George Lopez.
