El Dragón #9, 10/10/19: Ready, Set, Go, Or You Bet Your Life!
As we begin we note Miguel remembering his meeting with the members of The Garza Gang 2.0: "--You all know what you have to do." Hacker Team tinkles the keys at top speed, careful to check each and every screen's speedy DOSsed lines of program and......"DONE!" Jimena dons a black wig. "No mistakes, no raising of suspicions.... " Peligros and Sr. Advisor dig up buried bags of bills, American. Sr. A. gripes it isn't Euros. Peligros says he's only following orders. (Purposely over-inflated Euros don't work in the U.S. of A. dumbs!t. Most of N.America insists on using good ol' American greenbacks, as the writers should know. Or when in Rome.....)
Adela drives Mig to an apartment building where Mr. Pol-Carlos-- lives. Mig receives the financial information (tributario) he needs to negate one of his possible competitors. The first is La Muralla who always gets what he sets his sights on. His contact is expecting Mig's call. Carlos wants to re-emphasize that he's being pressured by his associate/s (Who? Oh. His one associate: Epigemio?). They stand to lose everything if this venture fails. Mig assures him with the report he's been given nobody will lose a centavo.
Pig calls and interrupts the meeting so Mig takes his leave. By the time Mig makes it to the car Pig and his porky posse of one start taking pot shots at him and Adela who burns rubber to escape the building's garage. Suddenly armed men in black capture Pig and Tacho, dragging them kicking and screaming up to Mr. Pol's apartment for a lecture. Until he gives the word, Mig is off limits y punto!
As for the rest of los Garza, Chisca shows her BFF her new wifi weapon of choice to finally get the goods on Date Rape Dude who is making a deal with a bar owner in Spain to launder his other clients' cash.
Mig apologizes to Ade for having hired her for such a dangerous position. (So get her a bullet proof sedan the pols always use.) She jokes she should have read the small print and objected then. Too late, she is stuck on him like gum to his shoe soles.
That night, Chisca gets a kick out of watching how Date Rape Dude browbeats his wife. (Heck, she gives as good as she gets.) He's leaving her. "No! It's a partnership!" Apparently not in his book.....
Across town, Flaco flirts heavily with Hacker Gal, Kenia, who rejects the come-ons.
Meanwhile, at an uptown club, Chisca and Angel fight over what she's hiding on her phone. She's hardly been paying any attention to him this evening. He finally gets enough and leaves.
Across the tracks, in the PigPen, Pig threatens Tacho at gunpoint to learn everything he can about Miguel Garza's bidnez at hand and then tell Pig so they can jump the dude when he least expects it.
Back to Hacker Towers. Flaco and Kenia are now listening in on competitor #2 as he plays naughty with one of his mistresses. They capture the video and sound in the motel in question, as per plan. Yep, once again, Mig's mighty powers of intuition mixed with intelligence gives him the upper hand, as Flaco explains to Kenia.
The next day Tax Cop tells his assistant what he's learned about Karina's financial transactions and sends his wife off alone so he can do a bit more snooping on los Garza and any connections he might have with her. Kid Assistant informs TC that Mig is grandson of the newly deceased Lamberto Garza. This is now a horse of a different color [with apologies to L. Frank Baum, qepd]!! TC heads to Cd. Jimenez.
At breakfast that morning, Jorge gets permission to work with Flaco in Hacker Towers. Chisca takes Mig to the side to discuss the fact that Jorge fears people and has never held a job in his life. Why allow him to invade Flaco and Kenia's space. Mig says for exactly all those reasons. It will be a great experience for him. He leaves her talking to herself.
At the park, Flaco catches up to competitor #2, SR. Hamelin Silva, while he's jogging. Flaco shows him the video of his matters de motel and then warns him to stay away from the auction for Prototipo Grace today. C#2 has no choice but to do what he's been told. If he doesn't, then the first to see this video before it goes viral on the net will be la Sra. Silva.
Jorge is introduced to Kenia and effectively shocks her with his hacking genius. She also manages to fluster him and then seemingly knows how to calm him down again. They continue working together.
Chisca shoplifts a red lace negligee to seduce (we assume) Date Rape Dude at some time in the near future. She mentions leaving in ten days to her BFF once she arrives back home and shows her the outfit. And, no, she doesn't want any company on this trip. She plans to have him killed -- she's not stupid enough to get her own hands dirty.
American Tax Cop dresses up as an American Cowboy and makes his acquaintence as a chicken farmer needing to transport his chickens. (The American accent and the broken Spanish with a smooth American hick accent is to die for! A tip of the ol' cowgirl hat to El Sr. Alejandro Ávila.)
Carla's policeman friend located a list of all the lockers in a 250 mile radius that use the type of key Hector found in Natalia's, the dead daughter's, room. He's not a happy camper shall we say. Ok. Start in the bus stations and airports in the area. (Duh. That's why they pay him the big bucks.)
Again Pig threatens Tacho with a bullet in the head if he doesn't come through and then sends him off with a couple of Chano's goons.
Jimena and Mig arrive at the auction with an invitation. However, the security guard says that her name isn't on the list. Flaco and Kenia have to work some very quick magic to get this detail taken care of. Jorge was in charge of the firewalls and one got by him apparently. Anyway, with 6 seconds to go they inserted Jime's picture and name on the list of invited guests. (Viewerville lets its breath out finally in one communal blow.)
Jime begins flirting with Competitor #3, the retired general. She begins to gossip with him about Prototipo, dishing dirt on the company's ability to do what it says it can do. "--Like buying an old washing machine!" Then she purposely knocks into La Muralla. They walk into the auction salon together.
Peligros is stopped by Chano and Pig's porker posse. Tacho shoots Peligros and takes the bags of formerly buried bills. Peligros survives long enough to call Mig at the auction and tell him that the money was stolen and he was mortally wounded. Mig takes a final look over at Jime just as the auction begins.

A few thoughts:
They all need new ring tones. I wonder what cellphone company they are advertising.
I enjoyed Pig being put in his place.
I didn’t recognize Juan Pablo Gil as Jorge. Good to see Jorge get a chance.
Yes, Alejandro Ávila deserves “a tip if the ol’ cowgirl hat.” He was sure successful.
Not happy to see Peligros shot but it is just another reason for Miguel to go full out adding a good dose of revenge to his action.
Liking this!
Mig apologizes to Ade for having hired her for such a dangerous position. (So get her a bullet proof sedan the pols always use.)
Absolutely. And I still want to see her get a cool chauffeur's uniform.
The American accent and the broken Spanish with a smooth American hick accent is to die for! A tip of the ol' cowgirl hat to El Sr. Alejandro Ávila.
Whoa! That scene made me stop and take notice. Ávila was excellent.
Chisca's wearing, buying, wearing, flaunting herself in lingerie rivaled a Victoria Secret's lingerie fashion show.
On Miguel putting Adela in dangerous positions: that was inevitable & it will likely continue as this Telenovela goes forward.
Please don’t let Peligros die....please! We never will get to see his “ new look”. I’m hoping it’s semi flesh wound and be survixpves.
Thanks again to our faithful Recappers.
Let's get Chisca off the screen NOW, and give Jorge more screen time. His story seems much more interesting.
It seems as if Miguel has lost his street smarts! I guess Japón took some of his edge off. His two weeks are flying by awfully fast.
I'm watching Teresa at the same time, imagine, Cynthia Klitbo. I like her as a blonde
Sebastián Rulli. I'd take him even as a redhead
Alejandro Avila. A cowboy hick by any other name is still a cowboy hick.
