Caray, Caray!

• Santamaria immediately wants to get to business but Yolanda tells him they have plenty of time and hands him another shot. He chugs it down as she takes off her shirt and throws him on the bed.

Yolanda notices as he begins to struggle and she tells him to be quiet before anyone hears them.

Reyes asks what he will do if they find Yolanda in the base but Dave doesn’t know. He begs Reyes to call the brigade in the meantime.
• Olivia shows her mother the board she’s made of her enemies starting with the Lucios. Her mother is confused so Olivia explains that the Lucios communicate via radio unless the distance is too far, then they use cell phones. For them to make international calls, their roaming must be on which means they must use a local cell phone company in Mexico to get their service. Her mother agrees but they must have used fake names and Olivia agrees. She sits down, frustrated, and tells her mother that the phone company wouldn’t have given her the information regardless; the DEA or federal police must ask for it.


• In the new Lucio headquarters, Bautista, the Lucio lawyer, gives the Lucios a list of all the expenses for the past month. John nods and gives the file to Oscar, who looks it over, as John asks Bautista for an international cell phone for Zulima. Zulima thanks him and Bautista asks if he buys it under the same company’s name. John chides him for his dumb question as all the cell phones they’ve bought before have been through the same company. Oscar then asks about the income taxes for their company and Bautista confirms they don’t owe anything. Oscar smiles and reminds them it’s always best to move within the confines of legality. Bautista agrees and tells them that since they decided to include the club in their accounting everything has run smoothly, especially regarding their previously unjustified expenses. They toast to their good luck and then John asks about Arley. Bautista confirms he and Canengo will rot in prison for a long time; the only reason they haven’t talked is because they think he’s helping them. In fact, since they won’t help the police, the police won’t help them.
• In the Mexican City prison, Arley and Canengo get their lunch and sit down to eat. Arley is tired of the nasty food and Canengo suggests he close his eyes and eat it. He then suggests they save some for the lawyer to eat so he can get them out of prison fast. After a moment, Arley admits that their situation is looking worse every day, especially because the lawyer doesn’t take more than a week solving cases like theirs. Canengo asks if he thinks the Lucios have abandoned them and Arley agrees. Canengo reminds him that without the Lucio’s help, they are dead meat because of all the charges against them. Arley tells him that there is more than one way to escape prison and if the Lucios aren’t ready, they better prepare, because he will talk. Canengo is quiet.
• Yolanda jumps off Santamaria as he struggles and eventually falls out of bed and onto the floor. She turns him around and tapes his hands behind his back and then covers his mouth.

She makes her way through the encampment but Rubio sees her and asks if Santamaria is in his room.

• In the infirmary, Orozco attends to Santamaria, who continues to scream out Yolanda’s name. Orozco asks Rubio if he ate anything but Rubio doesn’t know. Orozco informs him that they will need to call an ambulance because Santamaria is intoxicated and could die.
• Outside, Dave tells Reyes that he’s sure Yolanda was the one driving the helicopter, even if he didn’t see her, because the soldiers fired at their own helicopter and that means someone was escaping. Either way, they are not leaving the base until they find out the truth. Reyes reminds him that the soldiers are going to guard whatever they are hiding even more now. Dave agrees and they are stopped by two armed soldiers as they try to walk inside the building again.
• Inside the building, two men and Castro bring the pilot over to Rubio. Castro explains that they found him passed out in the bathroom and gives him a syringe they found by his body. Rubio takes it and orders the men to take the pilot to the infirmary. He then orders Castro to gather the troops as General Garcia is no his way to the base. Castro wonders what they will tell him about what happened and Rubio explains that they will pretend not to know who stole the helicopter.

She’s forced to land the helicopter, and thanks her lucky stars that she did, before running outside and looking for the man, who has disappeared. She goes over to the house where the man was staying and finds a phone, which she puts in her pocket. She then grabs some car keys, a jacket and a map before getting into a truck that’s parked by the house. She smiles as the truck turns on and drives away.
• Monica walks around her house and cries. Just then her phone rings and it is Montgomery, who is surprised that she is leaving Tres Fuegos. He laments that she is leaving the DEA but Monica reminds him that there is nothing left for her there. He then asks if she’s spoken with Dave and she admits that it’s been a couple of weeks. Either way, he should know more about Dave than her since he still works with the DEA unless he’s left as well. Montgomery doesn’t think he would have a reason to but Monica reminds him that Dave is currently under investigation. Montgomery thinks Dave’s case is complicated but Monica screams that he killed Simpson, a mole that killed her sister and almost killed her and the only reason she’s alive is because of Dave.
