Three days.

If we haven't paid by then...

Three days.

Sh*t.

Thanks.

If I don't pay them,

they'll kill my friend.

You should've thought of that

before you left him there.

Ask them to give me time to pay.

- How?

- By working.

- Who for?

- For you.

What? Like the other day?

Downing the chopper?

Do you think anyone

will hire you now?

Just pray the pilot doesn't die,

because if he does,

it might just be me...

who gives you up to the police,

just so that

they'll leave us alone.

They're looking for us.

Asking for the guys

who shot down the chopper.

They say they have a job.

I don't like it.

Sounds like a trap.

Why give work to a pair of outcasts?

Say we'll talk to them.

We need the money.

I don't like it.

Sorry, Halil. We have to risk it.

What's this?

A present for you. They spent hours

driving around the Rock.

"No pain no gain," right?

Did you follow him home?

Yes. I've got his name

and address, but that's all.

I can't link him to anything.

Have you ever seen him before?

What's up, man?

How are you doing?

I'm still here.

They gave me some pills,

so it doesn't hurt too much.

It's gone a really horrible colour.

At least they haven't killed me

or cut my fingers off yet.

Let's see what happens.

But I tell you something,

I'm sick of these drums!

It's like Holy Week in Seville

every day!

Hang in there, Compi.

Don't smoke too much.

Mari Fe will see it in your eyes.

Have you spoken to her?

I saw her yesterday.

What did you tell her?

The truth, Compi, the truth.

Tough sh*t.

She went all quiet and serious,

then grabbed a knife and told me

if I don't get you back

she'll kill me.

See how much she loves me, Nio?

You see?

Chin up, Compi,

it's under control, OK?

Nice one, mate.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

So, everything's set for Friday, yeah?

Yeah.

Is it definite?

These guys are pissed off.

For sure. I'll do this job on Thursday,

and they'll get their money on Friday.

OK?

OK.

See you, man.

See you.

Here's the address.

It's easy to unload there.

We'll only need half an hour.

Those guys aren't English.

Must be Russians or Albanians.

So what?

Remember that guy at the port?

They still haven't found his head.

What are they doing?

Why aren't they leaving?

I don't like this one bit.

If you don't want to do it,

just say so and I'll find someone else.

No.

You're right.

We've got to do it for Compi.

The boat has a tracking device.

We can track their every move.

We know where they'll leave from,

but not where they're going.

When we see where they're going,

the Civil Guard can catch them on land.

I'll be right back.

Are the Customs lot coming too?

- Where were you?

- Look here.

You know how sometimes

you just remember something.

you didn't notice at the time...

Wait!

What are you on about?

Him talking about his daughter.

What?

A Jersey bank account,

in the name of Mara Rubio.

Sergio's daughter.

Her university fees come out of it.

Tuition alone costs

what Sergio makes in a year.

Could be an inheritance

or his wife's money.

It's nothing like that.

We've been recording their calls,

monitoring them,

and Sergio knows it.

If it is him, he'd warn them.

They would call it off.

I don't know.

Something doesn't make sense.

If they want a hash smuggler to run coke,

there's plenty of choice.

Why the guy who brought down

the helicopter?

The Englishman

knew we were onto him.

And that we'd end up

following this kid.

And that you'd recognise him.

It's a decoy.

We go after the kid,

meanwhile his shipment

comes in through the port.

You can't fool me

with your text thing.

You went for a smoke.

Jess, how much

can they get on that boat?

200?

Up to 300 kilos.

300. If we put 300 kilos

of cocaine on the table.

they'll start taking this thing seriously.

Good work.

Let's go. Good luck tonight.

OK.

Vicente...

Can I have a word?

If it's to tell me that you

and your girl have finished searching

and found nothing,

save your breath

We've found something.

We need more than this.

There isn't time.

If we call it off,

they won't use the port.

We're not even sure

about the port.

It's the only explanation.

We have to play it cool

so Sergio won't get suspicious.

Well, he's your friend.

I'm sure he trusts you

no matter what.

Jess.

I'm warning you.

If, after tonight,

we have nothing against Sergio,

you're out.

This just arrived from Caracas.

It's the only container

matching the Interpol data.

Great.

It's that one.

What's the cargo?

Suitcases.

What's the pilot like?

Mario? He's a really nice guy.

Used to be in Alicante

with Fernando and Antonio.

He's one of our own.

He can't wait to lay into these guys.

So we need to be careful.

We need keep cool heads tonight.

There they are.

Let's have a bet.

You're on.

Where are they headed?

50 says it's Sotogrande.

- I say La Duquesa.

- No way.

Small, discreet, classy...

One more crook won't stand out.

They're going to Sotogrande.

Someone owes me 50 smackers.

We didn't shake on it.

- You bastard.

- Just talk for talk's sake.

He's a sore loser.

Then don't bet.

They're heading for Sotogrande.

We're on our way.

Jess, do you copy?

We've got the location.

The Civil Guard will be there in 15.

15 minutes.

These guys will be gone by then.

What shall we do?

Turn around.

Drop it!

Drop the gun!

You drop it!

Or I'll blow his brains out!

Halil, no!

Shut it! I'm in charge now.

You got that? Drop the gun now!

Calm down, all right?

For f***'s sake!

Take it easy!

I'll blow your head off!

Halil, calm down.

No one's f***ing with me anymore!

Listen to me. Halil!

Here's what we'll do.

We both put down our guns right now.

You leave with one of those bags,

before anyone else gets here.

One bag is enough

to pay for your friend.

That's why you're here, isn't it?

For Compi. Am I right?

We've been following you for days.

Shut it!

You don't want to get f***ed over again,

but that's just what they're doing.

Why do you think

you got this job?

You're a decoy to distract us.

What's he saying, Nio?

He's making it up.

There's no decoy. It's real coke.

You know it is.

You're so green.

A few kilos is nothing

compared to a tonne through the port.

Then why the f*** are you here?

Jess, do you copy?

We're in position outside.

Where are you?

What do we do now?

If we turn ourselves in,

Compi is dead.

Dead!

What a f***ing mess!

Halil, if you put the gun down,

we can sort this out.

Halil, put the gun down!

Halil, listen!

Listen!

Halil! Throw the gun on the floor!

Halil, look at me! Listen!

I'm putting my gun down,

I'm putting it down.

Halil, it's on the floor!

Halil, he put his gun down!

Take it easy!

It's on the floor, OK?

Halil, listen to me.

Calm down.

Do as I say

and you can still save your friend.

But we have to do it now.

We have to do it now.

It's OK, it's OK.

They're leaving in a 4x4.

Heading for the avenue.

He's injured.

Call for an ambulance.
