La Piloto #10, 3-20-2017: Taking A Flier Or From The Frying Pan Into The Fire

Parte 1 ~

Yolanda makes her escape from the restaurant in back of the druggies’ car, the money bag in tow.  “--Keep your head down!!” Dave/Alberto is chasing them but loses them along the way.

Yoli calls John to let him know the score and the problem: Dave done us in.  He’s working for the DEA!  He’s a federale!”  He’s another jerkwad, like all the other men in my life.   My choice of men sucks—and I wanted to help him through!  John tells her to get back to the airport and get on the flight back to Mexico.  Trust in a guy named Pincheros (Good enough).   Don’t get caught by the Feds in the U.S., cuz he cannot help her there.

The driver says he’s got some merchandise to deliver and he’ll take her back to the airport. (I think.)

Zeki meanwhile, gets lose from the ropes, finds a gun and knocks Oscar over the head when his back is turned.  Zulima manages to make it to her car and is ready to start the car when Zeki puts a gun in her face.  He gets in and forces her to drive.

Becker’s Amerian Counterpart at the airport or the mission com room tells Dave, El Duro, to pack it in.  The mission’s been a total failure.  The Lucio’s are going underground and Yolanda with them.  Duro says nope.  He’s certain JL will move heaven and earth to get Yolanda back there today.

Duro learns about the shootout at the Lucio’s Miami warehouse and that Monica’s there in the middle of it.  Oscar and Mena Arley escape on the back of a motor cycle.

Druggie gets back to the airport and meets up with Bald Dude – Pineros.  He hides her in a huge cinch bag.

On the Centroamerica plane, the stewardesses are muy impactado to see Alberto show a DEA badge and demand to speak to the pilot of the plane, which he plans to search.  Of course, the agents find nothing, not even in the baggage area.  The gals’ flight documents are in order.  Duro wants to know where Yoli is. He tells the other agents he’ll take it from there.  He sits down and looks out the window while the luggage for the flight back is being loaded.  He sees the huge cinch bag move and he orders to pilots to open up the baggage area.  CoPiloto bangs him over the head and lets him drop in.  JL will reward him handily for capturing the DEA agent.  They take off immediately and without permission to escape the Feds and get back to Mexico.

Down below, Yoli gets out of the bag and grabs Duro’s gun.  He tries to talk her out of doing what she’s doing and she tells him to forget that.  This is now and he’s a fed rat!  Things are at a standoff till they get high enough that there’s no oxygen left in the baggage area.  Duro and Yoli begin screaming but the pilots both think it’s just the DEA agent down below.

Dave and Yoli notice the singe oxygen tank and mask and he grabs it up and puts on the mask.  Yoli loses consciousness cuz she knows she cannot shoot the tank or anywhere without chancing the airplane gets a hole in it and they all go down.  She eventually blanks out and he races to put the mask over her.  He begins to pass out soon after.

All this while, John is trying to make contact with his plane.  He wants to know that Yoli made the flight and made it out of the country.

Zeki has Zuli drive him to the warehouse where his family were being held hostage.  He finds they’ve all been slaughtered.  He goes half nuts   He starts to blow Zuli’s head off but changes his mind and drives with Zuli to the airport.

Oscar and Arley arrive at the little airport and advise JL that they were attacked by the (local police and Feds) at the warehouse and they lost it all.   Oscar tells how Zeki knocked him out and got away, most probably with the help of his DEA friends.  Zulima?  No idea where she is, either.  John is really honked off.  He cannot believe how Zeki and the mild-mannered steward pulled this off and did this to them.

The Captain wonders why they’re flying so high The CoPilot figures to have suffocated the DEA agent and they have to get lower now to land.  (Anything else, I didn’t really hear.)  In the back of the plane, the attendants wonder about Alberto being so long in the captain’s cabin, and why they haven’t laid eyes on Yoli yet, though Pineros surely got her out of that bind with the Feds.   Bette comes back to them and tells them that Pineros says he got her onto the plane.  Where, then is she???  It finally dawns on them she has to be in the baggage area then.


They open up the cabin door and ask where Duro is.  Surely he didn’t survive the ascent, so probably dead.  Well, they tell CoPiloto, Yoli’s been down there too.  Open up y PRONTO!!  They do.  They find Yoli and bring her up to resuscitate her .  The CoPilot ties up Duro till they land.  (Back in Mexico, I believe?)
end parte 1~~
==================

Parte 2

Meanwhile, the raid on the Lucio Enterprises and Centroamerican Airlines in Three Fires and Medallin, Columbia as well as in Miami, continues.  The cops and Monica capture all the documents they can get their hands on and shut down the airline.  It’s blasted all over the News at 6 and 10.

While Zuli makes her way through the city streets in Medallin?—she tries to say she had nothing to do with his family’s massacre.  (I couldn’t catch much of the back and forth.)  How not?  She found them and had them kidnapped.  They believed her and not him and now they’re mince meat.

John gets ready for a second shoot out.  Oscar comes in with the bad news that the Feds have closed down their airline and grabbed all the books.  Think of all the information they’ve got in their hands now.  Well, what about the properties?  Unknown.  Like the rancho.  If Zeki really works for the Feds he knows that place really well and they’ll certainly be all over it by now.  It’s time to go, Bro, warns Oscar.  JL won’t leave just yet.  He needs to know that Yoli got out and is okay.

The plane is getting ready to land.  Yoli seems to be coming to.  Duro definitely comes to.  He finds himself all tied and cannot get loose.

The plane lands just as Zuli and Zeki get to the airport.  They use his security pass card to get through the gate.

At the same time we see Yoli’s creepy uncle loading up some huge bags into an even huger wheel barrow and then rolling it away.  We assume it is Zeki’s butchered family’s bodies.

The passengers deplane—well, most of them do.  The plane’s captain says he’s quitting this effing airline immediately and deplanes.  Yoli hands over the backpack with the cash in it to one of the other attendants, Amanda.  She explains that it’s the only thing that will incriminate her so if the other gal takes it, nobody will be the wiser and then also, nothing will happen to Yoli.  Amanda agrees.

Just then, Zeki and Zuli force their way into the plane before the last 2 or 3, including a pregnant woman ready to pop, are able to get off.  Zeki comandeer’s the plane.  Zeki tells the passengers to sit down and stay calm.  Co Piloto is forced to take off again. He has a gun now with him in his pocket or something.  Again, CoPiloto takes off without permission.  The plane’s in the air just as the cops arrive on the field.  Moni is late again.  They’ve escaped.

Zeki gets suspicious when Yoli gets up and goes back to the preggers passenger to help her out.

JL and O are seeing to loading up all the spare cash in whatever remaining planes they’ve got at the little private airport.  Amanda calls Arly and lets him know that they’re in but the plane just took off again and Yoli is on it.  He tells JL about the mess in Miami and that Zeki’s on the plane (?)

Duro got loose and grabs the CoPilot’s gun, telling him to land/stop the plane.  Zeki gets behind Davuro and pulls another gun on him while he unloads the gun he gives back over to CoPIloto.  “--Hands up!”  Zeki drags Davuro back into the passenger area where Yoli sees him and frowns.  El Duro tells Zeki to hang it up cuz hijacking an airplane is pretty serious stuff.  No duh, says Zeki.  Sit down and get comfortable as JL will want to have a serious talk with him.

Yoli tells Zeki to do something.  He answers something I cannot make out.  Nothing’s going to change, whatever it was—nobody’s coming in or going out, no matter what.

I want to like Yolonda, but she's too complicit since she's involved with the drug-lords, etc.,


 

It is all up. Apologies for anything I missed due to no CC's for clarification. Hulu and Unimas OnDemand didn't have #10 up yet.

Great recap. According to my CC, Zuli was saying to Zeki that she told him she needed to make a phone call. Apparently he had ignored her pleas during the car ride and her hired sleeze bag followed instructions to kill Zeki's family if she didn't call by a certain time. Horrible.

As of late, I've been struggling to sympathize with Yoli. She's been too easy to fall in step with John and his criminal activities. At first, I felt she was tricked/trapped when Zuli had gave the bag of money that was stolen...and John never told her the money was recovered. But, beyond that....she's been OK to play along...regardless of her initial intentions to get money for flight school. And this story line of her turning to a life of crime for flight school is thin enough as it is. While Dave did trick her, her initial instinctst told her he was the better guy...as opposed to John. So now that she know's he's an official good guy...surely she know's he'd try to do something to help her out of the fix she's in. But instead...she choose to grab the money and run. I get she feels betrayed...but a life of crime is not better than trying to get the good guy to help her out of this fix and into a normal life....albeit...possible jail time.

Thanks Jardinera. I'd be tearing my hair out trying to understand this without closed captions. Another brutal, edge of the seat episode. Don't know if they can keep up this pace but it's been blazing hot so far.

I'm an absolute sucker for romance, so Dave tenderly putting the oxygen mask over Yolanda's face was the highlight of the episode for me.

And the low point was the horror of seeing that innocent, slaughtered family. And then bundled casually into black, plastic bags. Ugh.

Anyway, thanks for hanging in there Tough Lady. You're the best.
 



Steve Boudreaux I meant to say I too find Yoli complicit...

Thanks, Jardinera. Great title and recap. I can't believe all of that happened in one episode.

I can't say why, maybe because I have sympathy for Zeki, but I want JL and O to know he didn't betray them.

Yoli is most definitely complicit. But she's young and hasn't thought things through, that she'll wind up dead young or in prison young. No long shelf life in what she's doing. Don't see how Dalberto can win her trust, but something tells me he will.
 

But there are no "good guys" in Yolanda's world. The police killed her father. And the police would have declined to prosecute her stepfther, or godfather, for rape. So the only good people in her world are those who seem to be friends. The other stewardesses at the airline and perhaps John who at least has given her a chance to fly a plane.

Why should she believe the DEA or federales are any less corrupt than the local police?

So she sticks with those she thinks are her allies in a dangerous and unjust world.
 

Thank you so much, Jardinera! You keep knocking them out in the best possible way and without CC's!

I think this thing can maintain the pace but I hope it maintains the intelligence and wonderful character moments thus far.

Ernesto is just a creep but now he's worse because he killed those people with no remorse. I wonder if Estela knows that she's not only dealing with a rapist but a mass murderer as well.

Zulima actually seemed freaked out by the dead bodies so I wonder if she didn't plan for Ernesto's cruelty. I wonder if that will change or will she try to maintain her humanity?

We can now see the sea of change with the Lucios having to bail on everything, CAA shutting down and Zeki hijacking a plane with a DEA agent on it. Oh boy, seat belts everyone!
 

Just in case:

The flight Duro and Yoli got stuck in was from Miami to Tes Fuegos, Mexico.

The back and forth between Zuli and Zeki was him threatening her with something far worse than what she did to her family even though she maintained her innocence because Zeki didn't make the call that would've saved his family's life.

The co-pilot didn't say anything else but wondering how much cash he would get for killing Duro. Funny though was the pilot quitting because of all the messes they get to into on regular flight.

Yolanda did give the bag with the cash to Amanda. Amanda told Arley that Zeki hijacked the plane with Zulima and Yolanda on it but she didn’t mention Miami.

Yolanda asked Zeki what she should do as the pregnant woman is getting worse but he told her it didn’t matter because no one was getting out of the plane alive.
 

Just got to your fine, fine recap, Jar. (Hope you don't mind, but I put the page break in it for you--as well as changing Alberto's name back to Alberto from Arturo. I know, Davuro sounds neat, while Dalberto is much too close to being Dilbert.)

JudyB--You always have the right insight to draw pictures of the characters, flawed or not. Yoli is going to be the best at whatever it is life has handed to her and not look back. I hope she keeps the memory of her night with Dave burned into her mind. Right now, he can't save her, but John can.

Hang on, everybody, it's definitely going to be a bumpy ride. No sh*t! This is a lot more than I bargained for, but I can't keep myself from watching. I wish they didn't speak Colombian Spanish, though.

How did Dave manage to revive from lack of oxygen and have the strength to come back so strong, just in order to be trapped again. I kinda wished the girls had left Dave's coat on Yoli so she would know he was still looking out for her.
