Their comfortable life changes when the Mexican Baja Cartel demands a partnership in their business. Chon and Ben refuse the deal and the leader of the cartel Elena sends her right-arm in America, Lado, to abduct Ophelia to press the American drug dealers.

CHON:

Ioud and clear.

We send Alex and Jaime

Two errand boys, Chon.

They can replace

and we can't.

OPHELIA:
Doc, Sam, and Billy.

Ex-SEALs from Afghanistan.

Together, they've got

about 120 kills.

Sweetest guys,

when you get to know them.

CHON:
Last time, Ben.

You let people

think you're weak,

sooner or Iater

you're going to

have to kill them.

Buddha would not agree.

What does a fat Jap know?

He's a fat Indian.

Whatever.

So we dig you guys

sound Iike Goldman Sachs,

but it's just

not our thing.

So, you are

rejecting our offer?

No.

We're going to

give you our business,

but we're not

going to join you.

Nothing personal.

ALEX:
Nothing personal?

I'm afraid our

client would take this

very personally.

BEN:
Well, I am sorry.

We want out of

the dope business.

It's become a bit of a drag.

We want to do

something different.

Such as?

Such as clean,

renewable energy.

You mean sun,

wind, ethanol?

Sh*t Iike that?

There you go.

What do you have to say?

Me?

Mmm-hmm.

I think, basically,

you want us

to eat your sh*t

and call it caviar.

(ALEX CHUCKLING)

What'd he say?

What'd he say?

(WHISPERING)

You're making a mistake.

Right.

We'll give you

Well, in Iight of

our generous offer,

we would Iike to reconsider

and think about this.

Give us 48 hours.

We need to talk to producers

and distributors.

They're very

independent thinkers.

We'll talk

tomorrow at this time.

Well...

OPHELIA:
This is Spin.

He used to be

an investment broker

for a big bank,

but then he found

out he could make

a lot more money

laundering

Ben and Chon's profits.

Hey, what's up, guys?

How you doing?

The bank didn't miss him.

Got a Iittle something.

Sh*t. Sweet.

(SNIFFS)

We need to get off

the grid for a while.

Cool.

Yeah, no,

it's not really.

Okay. Uh, Annie?

I need you to set

up a new Iine for us.

Double-blind,

all right?

Everything washed fresh,

a whole new cycle.

Make it go away

somewhere for a while

so no one can trace us.

What, are you kidding me?

How Iong?

I don't know.

Botanical research,

call it a sabbatical.

Up to a year.

Huh.

Grab a seat.

Okay, no problemo.

A year for two of you.

Three.

Three? Who's three?

O.

Okay, three people.

One of them is O.

So, that's a whole new

clothing Iine of its own.

Twelve months.

Housing, meals,

Can't say.
