00:04You are with me only because you want to be Pimpinera
00:06Among other things
00:18Welcome to Venezuela, mamacita
00:30Listen to me
00:36This job has its risks
00:40And we all know it from the beginning
00:44That's your warning, Moncho
00:46And why don't we leave?
00:48And start a life somewhere else
00:54Now you can really call yourself a Pimpinero, right?
00:56You know you have to open your eyes
00:58That's not going to last a lifetime
01:02Do you want to work for Mr. Carmelo?
01:06We're going to be able to transport more gas, that's more money
01:12The important thing is to be independent, free
01:14No one is free
01:16Here in town people are scared
01:20Why did you never tell me?
01:22Your job is to cross the border, nothing else
01:24Listen to me well, Diana
01:28The Estrada clan is over
01:32Let me make two more trips and with that we leave
01:36They closed the entire border
01:38I need you to get Honda out
01:40Do you think she's going to be a problem for us?
01:42Tell me the truth
01:44Being Pimpinero is not the only option
01:48Getting into a trap alone is like getting into a wolf's mouth
01:54We are brothers to defend ourselves together
01:56As we have always done
