**"El Trato'"** is the seventh episode of the first season of *Smuggler's Run* and the seventh episode overall.

## Story

Gustavo calls Tyler, telling him that they need to do the job for Carlos. Tyler gets ready, and heads over to Gustavo's home. Gustavo and Tyler then head down to his hangar. Gustavo quickly introduces Tyler to Charlie, and they then get into Gustavo's Boeing 727 Narrow-body airliner. Gustavo then starts the plane, and they head off, flying back to Key West. While on the flight there, Tyler books a landing at a private airport in Key West.

After about an hour, the duo finally reach Key West, and they land the plane at a private airport. Gustavo then calls for some of his men who still operate in Key West, to come pick him and Tyler up, and bring them to the targets location. While they wait, Gustavo and Tyler talk about their childhoods, before Gustavo's henchmen pull up in a 1944 Willys Jeep. The duo get into the jeep. Gustavo calls Carlos and asks him where the location of the Colombian Gang leaders are located. Carlos gives them an address to a large trucking warehouse near the most southern point. They drive to that warehouse where they are greeted by a Colombian man who orders them to leave. Gustavo's henchmen back away, and they drive to a building that is located across from the warehouse. The crazy plan is that Tyler and Gustavo are gonna go in guns blazing. Gustavo and Tyler had packed a few weapons including ArmaLite AR-18's (Assault Rifles), and AMT AutoMag III's (Pistols). They grabbed their load out, and Gustavo told his men to accompany them on their raid. Gustavo's men jump out of the jeep and draw their Pistols.

Gustavo, Tyler and Gustavo's henchmen approach the trucking warehouse entrance. The same Colombian guard notices the groups weapons, and he quickly draws his Pistol, only to be shot in the head by Tyler. This gunshot alerts all of the other Colombian gangsters around the warehouse, causing them to all draw their weapons as well. The gunfight then starts, with close call gunshots being exchanged from both sides. Gustavo and Tyler kill all of the gangster's outside, and they then decide to move into the actual warehouse, which is presumably where the leaders are located. They continue to shoot their ways through the warehouse, killing all of the Colombian gangster's that cross them. One of Gustavo's henchmen is shot in the face by a gangster, causing Gustavo to shoot that gangster in the chest.

The now trio continue moving throughout the warehouse. That's when Gustavo tells everyone to split up and look for the leaders. There should be two leaders in total. Gustavo continues on straight and into a much larger room, where a whole bunch of Colombian gangster's are waiting for him. They begin shooting at Gustavo, who takes cover behind a bunch of wooden shipping boxes. Gustavo guns down all of the gangster's and he continues his search for one of the leaders.

Back with Tyler, he branched off into another section of the warehouse, where he continues to encounter and kill the gangster's. Tyler then finds a small office like room that he enters, only to find one of the leaders, Eduardo Mantez, hiding inside. Tyler quickly shoots and kills Eduardo.

Gustavo's other henchmen searches for the other leader, before getting shot in the head by the other leader, Enrique Gonzales. Both Gustavo and Tyler hear the gunshot and they run to where they heard it from. They find Enrique standing over Gustavo's henchman's body. Enrique turns to look at Gustavo and Tyler, and he drops his Pistol. Gustavo gets ready to shoot Enrique, but Enrique tells Gustavo to wait. He pleads with the duo and tells them that he will offer them a deal. Enrique states that he will pay them one million each if they spare him. Gustavo looks at Tyler, and they shake their heads, with Gustavo coldly executing Enrique. The duo quickly leave the scene. They head back to the private airport, and they board the plane. They fly back to Key Largo.
