TVTranscript
00:00An elite Special Forces team, on their way back from leave, suddenly encountered an attack from
00:05unidentified armed elements. With a significant disparity in equipment, the members could only
00:10take cover behind obstacles and struggle to resist. However, enemy bullets rained down,
00:16heading towards them with destructive power. In this isolated, unsupported, intense situation,
00:21could the Special Forces team find a chance to escape the encirclement? And ultimately,
00:26what had pushed them into such a perilous situation? Time rewinds 72 hours earlier.
00:31A girl, for unknown reasons, looked listless, seemingly harboring a terrible secret in her heart.
00:37Her close friend, seeing her weighed down by worries, suggested going out for a walk to relax,
00:42but unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped onto the street, they ran into a group of aggressive
00:47thugs carrying weapons. Without a word, they intended to rush forward and kidnap them.
00:52Fortunately, this scene caught the eye of Captain Guerrero, who was on leave. As a soldier of the
00:57Mexican Armed Forces, he naturally couldn't turn a blind eye. Therefore, he immediately drew his gun,
01:03subdued their ringleader, and ordered the others to drop their weapons. But unexpectedly, the ringleader
01:08showed no fear at all, and even threatened Guerrero not to interfere in others' business,
01:13or else things wouldn't end well for him later. Local police quickly arrived at the scene.
01:17Seeing Guerrero holding a gun, they reflexively raised their weapons in a defensive posture,
01:23while demanding he put his gun down. Upon hearing this, Guerrero didn't comply immediately,
01:28but instead recounted in detail what had just happened. But surprisingly, the group of police
01:32officers showed hesitation. The police captain, seemingly apprehensive about something,
01:38not only didn't proceed to arrest the thugs, but instead, they became suspicious of Guerrero's
01:43identity. Only after he presented his identification to prove his identity did the police captain order
01:48the arrest of the thugs. However, his expression, for some reason, was extremely unpleasant.
01:54Guerrero initially thought everything was settled, but unexpectedly, at this moment,
01:59the girl who was almost kidnapped, still shaken, approached and told him an earth-shattering secret.
02:05It turned out, the leader of the kidnappers was named Tuko, from Murcia Lagos,
02:09the largest local drug cartel. The reason they brazenly tried to kidnap the two in the middle
02:14of the street was because they had accidentally discovered the cartel's mass grave, just a few
02:18kilometers from here. Upon hearing this, Guerrero immediately furrowed his brow, fully understanding
02:24the severity of the situation. He immediately summoned his special forces team to the scene.
02:29Indeed, just as the two girls said, a mass grave was hidden there, containing the bodies of ten
02:34soldiers. Furthermore, the wounds on their bodies indicated they had endured brutal torture before
02:40dying. This discovery enraged the entire military command. Colonel Toro firmly declared that this
02:46matter absolutely could not be ignored. The mastermind must be swiftly apprehended to console the victims
02:52and their families. Thus, this difficult arrest mission was assigned to Guerrero. He would lead an elite
02:57special forces team, infiltrating the crime syndicate's stronghold to capture the suspect.
03:02On the other side, the Murcia Lagos' boss, De Musso, was also watching the news on TV.
03:08After learning the mass grave had been exposed, he showed no expression, turned off the TV,
03:13then casually and cheerfully prepared dessert for his daughter. Who could have imagined,
03:18this cruel and inhuman drug lord actually had a happy and fulfilling family. However, just then,
03:24the villa door was suddenly knocked upon. De Musso's expression immediately darkened.
03:28The visitor was indeed Tuko, coming to apologize. Looking at his younger brother who only caused
03:34trouble and couldn't do things right, De Musso's mood was extremely foul. Because, not long before,
03:40he had spoken with his inside man in the government agency. The contact said this incident was too
03:45serious. Moreover, the special forces unit was handling the investigation, making it very difficult
03:50to exert influence from within. And he also learned from his inside man that Guerrero was one of those who
03:55had killed his father years ago. New hatred and old grudges surged together. The flames of anger in
04:01De Musso's heart completely ignited. Thus, using a tone that permitted no argument, he ordered Tuko
04:07to find an opportunity to deal with Guerrero and his teammates, while he himself would continue
04:12liaising with the inside man. Meanwhile, Guerrero had summoned his team members and begun operational
04:17deployment. However, their primary target was not the boss De Musso, but a burly,
04:22old man named Lalo. The target was one of the key members of the Murcia Legos organization,
04:28and also the main suspect in the soldier massacre. Furthermore, Guerrero had received intelligence that
04:33Lalo owned a high-end seafood restaurant, and was present there almost daily. They could capture
04:38the target first, then through negotiation, exchange information about De Musso, thereby increasing the
04:44assurance for the main capture operation. This operational plan received unanimous agreement
04:49from the team members. Thus, without further ado, everyone immediately took action. They fully
04:54armed themselves, carefully snuck into the restaurant, quickly subdued the other staff
04:59and customers, then stormed directly into the dining area where Lalo was present. At this moment,
05:05the target was still enjoying his fine food, momentarily unable to react. The special forces
05:10members, posing as customers, also immediately raised their guns from behind, aiming straight at Lalo
05:16and his associates. After a tense standoff, Lalo and the others could only surrender helplessly.
05:22However, just as they stepped out of the restaurant, an escaped criminal holding a gun
05:26carefully got out of a car, preparing to ambush the special forces members from behind. The very next
05:32second, he was shot in the head. It turned out the team's sniper, Polo, had been hidden at a distance
05:37providing cover, helping his teammates neutralize the danger. Everyone smoothly boarded a boat back to the
05:43other shore, then quickly moved to a safe area. Here, police were already waiting to provide support.
05:49After confirming the surroundings were clear, Guerrero handed Lalo and his associates over to
05:54the local police. The capture operation was successfully completed. The team members were
05:58immediately overjoyed, eagerly anticipating their upcoming leave. Colonel Toro was also extremely
06:04pleased with this result. He first granted Guerrero's team a short three-day leave, then said the plan for
06:10the next mission would have to wait until after Lalo's hearing concluded. He hoped the special forces
06:15team would continue to provide support in the future. On the other side, DeMusso successfully met with his
06:20inside man. Unexpectedly, the contact turned out to be the Secretary of Security, Marcelo. Upon meeting,
06:27DeMusso said nothing, simply offering a bag of cash. Marcelo, understanding, signaled his driver to take the money,
06:34then took a phone from his pocket, saying Guerrero's call history had been monitored for 24 hours.
06:39DeMusso could eavesdrop on the target with this phone. Next, Marcelo continued. Guerrero and his
06:45team will be on leave tomorrow. If DeMusso wants to completely eliminate the trouble, don't miss this
06:50good opportunity. Although the place seemed very discreet, their entire transaction process had
06:55actually been secretly recorded by Tuco, hiding nearby. This was also an escape route DeMusso had
07:01prepared for himself. Meanwhile, the special forces members, having received their short three-day
07:06leave, decided to leave the military base, return home for a brief reunion with their families, and then
07:12celebrate the birthday of Polo, the youngest team member. So, the group took a photo together, after which
07:18Guerrero drove everyone away from the base. The vehicle sped along the highway, the occupants chatting
07:23cheerfully, full of anticipation for the upcoming holiday life. But fate played a trick. As the vehicle
07:29entered a remote mountain road, they suddenly encountered an ambush. Everyone hastily got out
07:34to resist, but the enemy was clearly prepared, fully armed, and equipped. Fortunately, the members
07:40coordinated well, jointly eliminating several enemies, then quickly picked up weapons and continued
07:46the counterattack. Soon, they were all taken down. But, years of combat prevented them from letting down
07:51their guard because of this. So, with unspoken understanding, they began searching and gathering
07:57weapons. After they finished counting ammunition, Tooko arrived in force with his men. Armed men and
08:03vehicles charged forward, frantically firing at the special forces team. Everyone fired while
08:08retreating, falling back behind obstacles in the roadside woods. However, Tooko wouldn't let them off
08:14easily. Bullets rained down. The poorly equipped special forces team could only temporarily evade,
08:19hiding behind cover, daring not to expose themselves. Before long, Tooko lost patience and,
08:25leading his men, charged forward. Seeing this, Guerrero quickly seized this brief opening,
08:31signaling his members to counterattack. With everyone's coordinated teamwork and strong support
08:36from sniper Polo, the special forces team quickly achieved a major victory. At this point, only Tooko
08:42remained on the ground, but he was severely wounded, lacking even the strength to stand, only able to
08:48desperately shoot out the tires. Guerrero realized the enemy was exhausted and wanted to move forward to
08:53check the situation. But, just as they stepped out from cover, they saw a grenade flying towards them
08:58at high speed. Fortunately, everyone dodged in time, so they weren't affected by the explosion.
09:04The dying Tooko struggled to take out his phone, using a weak voice to report to DeMusso, while begging
09:09him to definitely avenge him, then fell silent. By the time Guerrero led his men forward to check,
09:15the enemy only ground his teeth and threatened them with a few words, then stopped breathing completely.
09:20Reluctantly, Guerrero could only take his phone, planning to look for clues later once they
09:25escaped this difficult situation. He also realized there was a traitor within the military ranks,
09:31someone who had revealed their movements to DeMusso. Thinking of this, Guerrero urgently contacted
09:36Carla, a team member still at the base, asking her to relay a message to Colonel Toro. Since the
09:41special forces team's movements had been exposed, to ensure the members' safety, he had to request
09:46withdrawal from this capture operation, hoping Colonel Toro would approve. Afterwards, the team
09:51would proceed on foot to the Browseville checkpoint, estimated arrival in six hours, hoping for extraction
09:57support then. Carla, upon hearing this, immediately asked Guerrero for their current location, saying
10:03she could come to assist right now. But unexpectedly, Guerrero refused her offer, saying that, in this
10:08situation, the team had to move immediately, because the enemy would surely arrive before reinforcements.
10:14Simultaneously, to evade DeMusso's pursuit, Guerrero led his teammates straight into the dense forest,
10:20planning to use the cover of the trees to reach the checkpoint. At the same time, DeMusso also led his
10:26men to the ambush site. Seeing the devastated scene and the corpse of his dead younger brother, immense grief
10:32and boundless rage momentarily overwhelmed him. He held Tuco's body, vowing he would definitely kill
10:38Guerrero to avenge his brother and the other fallen men. Then, DeMusso looked towards Lucia, his most
10:43capable right hand. This fully armed woman had cold eyes. One look told you she was not someone easy to deal
10:49with. DeMusso handed her a phone, displaying Guerrero's location. Lucia, seeing this, immediately understood,
10:57let an armed squad, turned, and left. On the other side, the special forces team was advancing along a forest
11:03stream. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Guerrero finally ordered a halt to rest in place.
11:09Just then, Guerrero, who was on watch, suddenly noticed something unusual. A nine-person armed
11:15squad was approaching them. Hearing this, everyone immediately became alert. Clearly,
11:20a fierce battle was unavoidable. Fortunately, their geographical position was quite advantageous.
11:26Sniper Polo struck first. Then, the other members, using the cover of the trees, quickly
11:31retreated to a safe position. After successfully rushing down the slope, Guerrero looked around,
11:36then suddenly devised a plan. So, he divided the team into three groups. One group entered the cave
11:42ahead to lay an ambush. Polo continued to hold the advantageous position outside for cover,
11:47and he himself ran to the roadside to hide behind a fallen tree trunk. Under the surprise attack and
11:53encirclement by Guerrero and Polo, Lucia could only lead her subordinates into the cave to take shelter.
11:59Unexpectedly, this was precisely Guerrero's plan to lure the enemy into a trap. Hearing intense
12:05gunfire echoing from inside the cave, Guerrero and his teammate carefully emerged from behind cover.
12:11Polo was suddenly hit by a bullet from above. It turned out, there was still an enemy left who
12:16hadn't entered the cave. Guerrero reacted quickly, firing frantically towards that enemy,
12:21temporarily repelling him. The gunfire inside the cave also gradually subsided. A moment later,
12:27teammate Combo's voice came over the radio. Only then did Guerrero breathe a sigh of relief.
12:31Despite winning this battle decisively, they still didn't dare let down their guard.
12:36Two team members were wounded during the fight. A surviving armed enemy was still hiding nearby,
12:41and worse, Lucia had also escaped during the recent cave battle. At this time, in the perilous
12:47forest, every step held potential danger. So, how would Guerrero lead his teammates to escape the
12:52pursuit and reach the rendezvous point arranged with Carla? On the other side, Lucia escaped death
12:58and successfully rendezvoused with De Musso. But, when they followed the tracker to the scene,
13:02they found Guerrero and his team gone without a trace, leaving only five corpses neatly arranged
13:08on the ground. On each corpse, a phone had been placed. It turned out, just moments before, Guerrero
13:14had finally figured it out. The reason De Musso could find them so quickly was surely because he had
13:19everyone's location information. He decided to order the members to discard their phones, both to
13:24mislead De Musso, and to buy time for retreat. Next, everyone trekked through mountains and forests,
13:29overcoming fatigue and pain, continuing towards the target location. When they finally reached another
13:35mountainside, Guerrero, considering the members' injuries, once again ordered a halt to rest in place.
13:41Taking this opportunity, he quickly examined Tuco's phone, and indeed discovered something unusual,
13:47the video of the transaction between De Musso and Toro. This further solidified Guerrero's suspicion.
13:52They had indeed been betrayed by someone on the inside. Realizing the gravity of the situation,
13:58Guerrero dared not delay, quickly gathered his teammates, and continued on their way.
14:03They had to quickly reach the rendezvous point to expose Toro's crimes.
14:07After walking for an unknown duration, Guerrero suddenly raised his hand, signaling a stop.
14:12It turned out, below the hillside not far away, stood a red-roofed, white-walled building.
14:17Finally, they had reached the end of the road. Polo used his 8X magnification binoculars
14:22to observe, discovering it was actually a crime organization safehouse. Furthermore,
14:27the number of armed personnel inside the building was not large. So, they immediately decided to
14:32raid it, to replenish necessary weapons and medical supplies for the team. Effortlessly,
14:37they dealt with the guards who came out upon hearing the noise. Then, they pushed open the
14:42door and stormed in, swiftly taking down all the armed men inside. But, upon seeing the situation
14:48inside the room clearly, everyone couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. Two women in ragged clothes
14:54were imprisoned here. And Guerrero, looking at these two familiar faces, felt even more conflicted
14:59inside. It turned out, they were the two civilians who had told Guerrero about the mass grave years
15:04ago. Combo immediately checked on them, finding both were still conscious. Only then did everyone
15:09breathe a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the others were conducting a search of the entire building.
15:14Indeed, they found a large stash of weapons and supplies here. At this moment, the atmosphere
15:20inside the house suddenly became tense. They understood clearly that what followed would
15:24surely be an even fiercer battle. Moreover, they now had to protect two unarmed civilians. But,
15:31as warriors, everyone had long accepted the possibility of death. So, without further words,
15:37with mutual understanding, they quickly replenished ammunition, preparing for the imminent fierce
15:42battle. Soon, night slowly fell. Everyone turned off the lights inside, led the two unarmed girls out
15:48the door, preparing to use the darkness to find a way to retreat. But, just as they stepped out,
15:53a bullet whizzed past, hitting the girl in the middle. Fortunately, she was already wearing a
15:58bulletproof vest, so she only fainted temporarily and her life wasn't in danger. But, this unexpected
16:04incident still caught the Special Forces team off guard. They could only resist while bringing the two
16:09girls back inside the building. During the retreat, Polo was hit by gunfire again. With teammates
16:14providing cover, he finally retreated safely back into the house. But, Demuso wouldn't let them off
16:20easily. Seeing Guerrero and his team retreat into the house, he immediately ordered an all-out assault,
16:26vowing to make these people pay for Tuco's death. The Special Forces team used the walls for cover,
16:31trying to resist, but the equipment disparity between the two sides was too great.
16:35Facing the enemy's storm-like assault, even though a teammate actively drew fire, everyone inevitably
16:41got injured, gradually starting to feel overwhelmed. But, the enemy's fierce bombardment showed no signs
16:47of stopping. The Special Forces team could only hide inside the house, daring not to expose themselves.
16:53But, just as he was contemplating countermeasures, the gunfire outside suddenly fell silent. Guerrero and
16:59his teammates looked at each other, unsure what Demuso ultimately intended to do. At this moment,
17:04the girl hiding in the corner unexpectedly picked up a gun, preparing to fight the enemy alongside
17:09the Special Forces team. Guerrero didn't stop her. After all, right now, one more gun meant one more
17:16sliver of hope. On the other side, Demuso had also finalized his attack plan. He ordered Lucia to lead
17:22a team around to the back of the building, where a cargo pipeline connected directly to a nearby river,
17:27allowing them to cut off Guerrero and his team's retreat route from behind. Demuso himself would
17:32continue the assault from the front door. This way, with a pincer attack from front and rear,
17:37they could capture the Special Forces team. Hearing the gunfire resume, Guerrero felt uneasy.
17:42So, he immediately ordered teammate combo to treat the wounded first, while he himself held the front
17:48line against Demuso's attack. At this point, the situation was extremely disadvantageous for the
17:53team. Nearly half the members had lost their combat capability. With only the weapons they had,
17:58breaking through the encirclement was fundamentally impossible. Even more despairing, Demuso decided
18:04to order his men to set up an M-2 machine gun and open fire. Bullets rained down like a torrential
18:09shower. Fortunately, everyone had already found cover. Thanks to their quick reactions, they avoided
18:15this deadly barrage. Then, taking advantage of the enemy reloading, Guerrero immediately ordered a
18:21counterattack. Relying on skillful marksmanship and excellent tactics, the team's counterattack was very
18:27effective. But, once Demuso reacted, the tide of battle inevitably shifted back towards the enemy.
18:33Another teammate was hit and fell. The situation for Guerrero and the others became extremely
18:38perilous. Worse still, an enemy took advantage of the chaos to rush inside the building. Fortunately,
18:45everyone reacted in time, coordinated, and quickly eliminated him. At this moment, the machine gun fire
18:50outside stopped again. Using the enemy's reloading window, Guerrero precisely sniped an armed man
18:57attempting to transport ammunition right in front of the main door. The special forces team could
19:02finally catch their breath temporarily. Knowing all his teammates were still alive, Guerrero's heart
19:07calmed. However, the danger was still far from resolved. Team member Tank was severely wounded and
19:12couldn't move. The rescued girl, Kara, proactively went to resupply him with weapons. At this time,
19:18Lucia had already led her forces into the pipeline and was feeling her way forward,
19:23moving through the dark basement, entering the building. This scene happened to be witnessed by
19:28the weakened Tank, then pulling the pin on a grenade and charging towards the basement door
19:32amidst enemy fire. Hearing the earth-shattering explosion, the teammates at the front rushed towards
19:37Tank's position, but ultimately only saw a sea of fire. Realizing their teammate had sacrificed himself,
19:44Guerrero and the others were filled with grief. However, they had no time for grief.
19:48Now, regaining composure, Guerrero led the remaining survivors out of the building,
19:53preparing for a direct confrontation with Demasso. Just as they stepped into the open ground in front
19:58of the main door, a bullet suddenly flew out, accurately hitting the youngest team member,
20:03Polo. Fresh blood poured uncontrollably from his mouth. This time, the young man who had always
20:09managed to escape death by a hair's breadth could finally no longer stand up. Guerrero was immediately
20:14overwhelmed by rage and grief. Just as he was about to kill Demasso to avenge his teammate,
20:20the enemy unexpectedly raised both hands and surrender, then discarded all his weapons.
20:25According to military regulations, special forces soldiers are forbidden from killing
20:30surrendered enemies. The three surviving members could only grip their weapons tightly,
20:34their eyes filled with unwillingness and indignation. How could they resign themselves to
20:39their teammate dying like this? At this moment, Guerrero suddenly threw down his gun and advanced,
20:45unarmed, rushing towards Demasso, preparing for a fair fight. But unexpectedly, the opponent was no
20:50pushover either. After being tackled to the ground and beaten by Guerrero, Demasso suddenly pulled out
20:56a dagger. This cunning criminal had no scruples whatsoever. The situation became one-sided. With years
21:02of military experience, Guerrero quickly gained victory thanks to his superb combat skills.
21:07Seeing Demasso lying limply on the ground like a pile of mud, Guerrero bent down, picked up the
21:13fallen dagger, then pressed the cold blade against the opponent's neck. He desperately wanted to kill
21:18Demasso to avenge his teammates. But as a soldier, he couldn't violate regulations. He could only use
21:24all his strength to knock the opponent unconscious. As the first streaks of dawn appeared on the horizon,
21:29the extraction helicopter finally descended slowly. Guerrero told Carla to notify the Department of
21:35Justice, then boarded the helicopter with his remaining teammates. The sunlight outside the
21:40window gradually became clear and bright, but on the faces of the three survivors, there wasn't a
21:45single smile. And the group photo taken at the base was the final moment of this five-person
21:50special forces team. The film ends here. This is a representative work of recent Mexican action
21:55cinema. With its extremely sharp pacing and profound expression of the aesthetics of violence,
22:00it demonstrates a philosophical depth rarely seen in contemporary border-themed works.
22:05The film reaches a very high level in three aspects. Action design, spatial metaphor,
22:11and analysis of human nature, deserving to be called representative work of recent crime action
22:16films. If you liked this video, don't forget to like and subscribe to catch more exciting commentary
