Verdin taunts the DEA agents torturing him. Felix offers opium dealer Guerra a partnership deal. Benjamin's sister Enedina poses a new business idea.
Plot[]
Félix travels to meet with Juan Nepomuceno Guerra, head of the Gulf Cartel that primarily deals in opium, to make a new partnership and create a monopoly on the import of cocaine into America and take away options from the Colombian cartels.
