## Story

### ***Welcome to the Florida Keys***

It's a gloomy evening in Key West, Florida. Representatives of the La Clave Drug Cartel and a rival gang are conducting a drug deal, with Gustavo Martinez aiming a sniper rifle from an opposite building. The dealer from the La Clave Cartel tries to take the drugs, but the dealer from the other gang insists on seeing the money. A briefcase filled with money is presented, which the dealer claims there is no need to launder. Right before an exchange could take place, the rival gang's dealer pulls out a Glock 22, shooting and killing the La Clave Cartel dealer. Gustavo aims the sniper and shoots each of the rival gang members down. He disassembles his sniper and hides it under his trenchcoat before proceeding back down to street level.

Sirens can be heard in the distance, so Gustavo hurries to collect both the drugs and the money and joins another one of the La Clave members in the vehicle they brought to the scene, a rusty El Camino. As he is the better driver, Gustavo insists on driving. He casually drives through the streets of Key West, going through smaller roads and back alleys to avoid police attention.

They stop at a small bar. Upon entering the cramped bar, Gustavo carefully dodges all of the drunk men falling around the place and approaches the bartender. Gustavo asks the bartender where his boss is, and is directed to a small room at the back of the bar. Gustavo enters the room, and the man inside is revealed to be Jorge José Morello, the leader of the La Clave Drug Cartel. Jorge is shown both the cash and the drugs, and is impressed by Gustavo's work. However Gustavo doesn't really care about Jorge and his cartel business, and just wants his cut. Jorge gets $700 from the briefcase and gives it to Gustavo, and before he leaves, Jorge informs him that he has more work for Gustavo, and that he will be in touch.

Gustavo heads home to greet his wife, Isabella Martinez. He takes off his trenchcoat, and puts his disassembled sniper rifle under his bed. He then goes out on the back porch and takes out a cigarette. He lights the cigarette and begins to smoke. Not caring about Jorge or his business, Gustavo decides that he wants to start up his very own drug trafficking business. He flicks his cigarette and heads back inside. He sits down on the couch next to his wife, and informs her of his plan.

In order to plan ahead, Gustavo decides that he needs a business that he needs to launder his cash through. He settles on a local bar around the area called The Top. It is owned by Annemarie Nichols. He walks inside, and sits down at the bar next to a young looking guy. The guy is sipping on some wine as he watches the football game on the TV. Annemarie comes over to take Gustavo's order, and he implies that he needs to talk to her in private. The two enter Annemarie's office where Gustavo offers to outright buy the business off of her hands. Annemarie is skeptical at first, and then she catches wind of what Gustavo is up to. However she agrees to let him buy the business as long as she gets to be the manager. The two shake on it, and they walk back into the bar. Gustavo sits back down next to the guy, and Annemarie introduces him as her son, Tyler Fusco. Gustavo and Tyler shake hands, and Annemarie whispers in Gustavo's ear that Tyler runs the Key Largo Mob. Gustavo and Annemarie inform Tyler on the laundering plan.

Meanwhile, DEA agent Stan Benton is packing his bags in California, getting ready to take a flight down to the Keys. He has been assigned to move down to the Keys and investigate Gustavo and his dealings with the La Clave Cartel. Stan heads to the airport, and boards the plane heading to Key West.

### ***The Old Man and the Gun***

A few days later, Gustavo returns to the bar to accept more jobs. This time, a man has owed Jorge money for too long, and Jorge tasks Gustavo to "rough him up a little", and steal his black Cadillac. The man owns a small garage near the beach, which is well protected. When he reaches the garage, he parks near the back side next to a huge gate and calls Jorge for more details. Jorge tells him that the man's name is Lenny Steward. Gustavo proceeds to jump over the gate, armed. At first, nobody can be seen, so he tries to find the Cadillac. The trouble starts when he picks the locks. An alarm is triggered, alerting Lenny's nearby goons. Using the car as cover, Gustavo begins to shoot the goons from a distance, striking each one.

After all the of his goons have been wiped out, the "big fish" himself, Lenny Steward arrives, armed with a sub-machine gun. Gustavo tries to reason with him peacefully, just asking for Jorge's payment. However, Lenny doesn't listen, and empties the ammo into his Cadillac, in an attempt to kill Gustavo. Lenny's aim was poor, and instead of hitting Gustavo, who had quickly taken cover, all of the bullets hit and shattered the car's front window. With no ammo, Lenny escapes on foot. Knowing that trying to kill him would waste time, Gustavo calls Jorge on the phone. The vehicle needs to be delivered to a lockup just a few miles away from Gustavo's current location.

One of Jorge's men, Juan, is waiting for Gustavo at the lockup. He gives Gustavo his cut on behalf of Jorge. Gustavo drives home only to see a black SUV sitting out front his home. Confused, he pulls into the driveway and gets out. He carefully and quietly enters his home, only to find Isabella and Stan having coffee at the table. Isabella introduces Stan as their new neighbor. In reality however, Stan is working undercover as an agent, unbeknownst to Gustavo and Isabella. Gustavo sits down and the trio have a long and nice conversation about the weather and such, and Stan finally decides to head home. After leaving, Gustavo fills Isabella in on the money laundering business that he bought out from Annemarie. He also informs her about the Lenny situation. Gustavo then tells Isabella that he is going to meet up with Tyler and discuss some business plans. Gustavo calls Tyler and asks to meet up at The Top. Gustavo heads to The Top, and meets up with Tyler who is sitting at the bar talking to Annemarie. Gustavo sits next to Tyler, and he fills him in on his business plan. Gustavo tells Tyler that they should partner their crime organizations. Tyler asks what Gustavo's business name is, and Gustavo quickly comes up with the name, the Dal Maso Crime Empire. He names it this due to the Dal Maso area that they are in.

Tyler agrees to partner with Gustavo, and the two become friends, and shake hands.

Meanwhile, Jorge finds out that one of his men has been skimming money from him. He calls the man into his office, and the two have a seat. Jorge tells the skimmer a story about an old man, and how he used to sit on his porch with his gun every day until he died alone. Jorge then tells the skimmer that he is going to die alone, before he calls two of his cartel henchmen into the room. They strap the skimmer to the seat, and blindfold him, before pulling out a machete. They then begin to brutally behead the man as Jorge watches proudly.

### ***Stuck Under the Ice***

Days later, Gustavo is contacted by Jorge. He informs Gustavo of his cartel's plans, which is to form an alliance with Cody Culgan, a feared local crime family boss also operating in Key West. They plan to do this by becoming the Culgan Crime Family's newest buyers, as their current buyers have rebelled. Jorge then reveals that he has offered Gustavo's services to Cody, until he fully gains his trust. Gustavo agrees.

Starting the next day, Gustavo begins work for Cody. These jobs mostly contain assassinating his gang's former buyers. Meanwhile, deals between Culgan & La Clave organizations commence, with both organizations gaining from the partnership. However, the DEA has begun performing surveillance and purchasing drugs from the gangs using informants. Stan is one of these agents who is working undercover as a buyer.

Gustavo heads to The Top, where he meets up with Tyler. Tyler informs Gustavo that they need to get rid of Jorge if they want to build up their empire. Gustavo then tells Tyler that they should overthrow Jorge. The duo begin secretly planning the overthrow. Back at home, Isabella is at home watching TV. That's when someone knocks on the door. Isabella gets up, and walks over towards the door, and when she opens it, she immediately gets a bag thrown over her head. The kidnappers take her to the back of a black van, and they chuck her into the back. Stan watches from his window, and he quickly grabs his Pistol and runs outside. The kidnappers quickly drive off, and Stan fires a shot at the tire but misses.

Gustavo arrives home shortly after to see his front door wide open. Stan runs out and informs Gustavo of the situation and of Isabella's kidnapping.

### ***How to Sell Cocaine***

Two months later in April, Cody summons Gustavo to his ranch for a supposed final task. Cody and Jorge's gangs are planning their last deal, and will go on to form a partnership, planning to flush out all other gangs in Key West. The deal will commence on April 21st, and Gustavo, as always, will need to watch over the deal. On April 21st, the deal commences, successfully. Both gang leaders are ecstatic, and stop hiring Gustavo for the time being, and Gustavo himself takes a break.

However, this doesn't last long, as the DEA have caught up with the La Clave-Culgan drug operation. A total of 68 individuals are arrested from both sides, including Cody Culgan's nephew. Enraged, Cody begins to enlist the help of Gustavo, who is becoming rather notorious on the streets of Key West. The police heat has affected Cody, as well as the incarceration of his nephew, who held almost all the secrets of the Culgan Crime Family. After giving it much thought, Cody concludes that Jorge has been ratting out the organisation in order to overthrow Cody. Although, he isn't sure, he sends Gustavo to kill Jorge just in case. This is perfect, as Gustavo and Tyler were both planning to kill and overthrow Jorge anyways.

Jorge will be leaving his bar in a few hours after a gang meeting, and Gustavo needs to take him out in secret. He enters his car, and proceeds to a local gun store. He purchases an Assault Rifle and drives to Jorge's bar called the Claveshell. Upon reaching the bar, the security, who are actually La Clave cartel members, see the weapon and turn hostile. This leads to a gunfight which spills into the bar. Gustavo kills all gang members in sight whilst completely trashing the bar.

After killing all of the gang members, Gustavo takes a Heckler & Kock Mk 23 from his pocket and enters the small room in which he used to take tasks from two months ago. He finds Jorge hiding under a table. Frightened, he gets out from under the table and stands up with his hands out. Jorge begs for mercy, but Gustavo pulls the trigger and shoots Jorge in the chest.

Before police arrives, Gustavo flees the scene.

Gustavo gives Cody a call and lets him know that Jorge is dead. He then calls Tyler and informs him of the situation as well. He then heads back home only to see a note on his front door. The note tells him that his wife is being held up for ransom, and that Gustavo needs to pay the kidnappers $120,000. He conducts a plan to break the deal. He grabs a duffel bag full of money and then takes his Heckler & Kock Mk 23 down to the exchange. When Gustavo arrives, he see's a small group of masked men holding Isabella hostage. He gives them the duffel bag, and instead of giving Isabella back, they attack and beat Gustavo. They hold him down as Lenny Steward walks out from the shadows. Lenny punches Gustavo in the face a few times, and demands to know where his Cadillac is. Gustavo states that it's long gone. Lenny orders his men to beat Gustavo and Isabella.

That's when all of a sudden, one of Lenny's men is shot in the head from behind him. After his body falls, the shooter is revealed to be Tyler, who tracked Gustavo's location using the iPhone tracker. Tyler begins to gun down all of Lenny's men as both Gustavo and Isabella are covered in blood. Gustavo then breaks free and helps Isabella up. Lenny is shot in the leg by Tyler, who then falls over. Gustavo and Tyler walk over to Lenny as he begins to bleed out on the floor. Tyler hands his Assault Rifle over to Gustavo, who then shoots Lenny square in the head, killing him.

Meanwhile, Gustavo and Tyler's empire has been growing. The sell and trade of the cocaine has been rising along with numerous other things. A training video for empire newcomers has been made, mockingly and jokingly called "How to Sell Cocaine."

### ***Drowning***

The incident with Jorge gained Gustavo much notoriety on the streets of Key West, and with the La Clave Drug Cartel wiped out, people are looking for answers. Cody is very pleased with the assassination, and doesn't want his best hitman killed. So he has set up an accommodation in Key Largo for Gustavo and Isabella. The accommodation is a nice large mansion in a rural area.

Days later, Cody introduces Gustavo and Tyler to Carlos Rosito, Key Largo's biggest crime kingpin. At Carlos's mansion, he shows Gustavo and Tyler $1,000,000 and says all of it could be his if he works for him. Unsurprisingly, both Gustavo and Tyler agrees and they are at the mansion first thing the next morning. The duo's first task is to go to Key Largo's shop area, and smash up some sex shops and their owners, into paying Carlos his cut. All goes well until one of the owners gets smart, and needs a beating.

His second task is to recover a seized drugs vehicle and deliver it to Sonny, the owner of a small chop shop, who will deal with the rest. After completing a few more minor tasks for Carlos, Gustavo is called back to the mansion. Some leading members of a Colombian gang from Key West are planning to expand into Key Largo and kick Carlos out. The plan is to fly back to Key West before they come to Key Largo and assassinate them.

Meanwhile, Stan has been getting nosier. He heads down to Key Largo, and sneaks into the home for answers while either Isabella nor Gustavo is home. Ultimately, he finds the unassembled sniper rifle in a briefcase under Gustavo's bed. He hears Gustavo's car pull up in the drive way and sneaks out the back window. He heads back to his car where he watches Gustavo exit his car and enter his home. Stan then see's a black SUV pull up next to Gustavo's home. He slumps back in his seat to be unnoticed. He witnesses a group of buff looking Hispanic men exit from the vehicle and head up to Gustavo's home. They break down the door and enter. Stan draws his Pistol and watches from a distance.

Inside, the Hispanic men beat down Gustavo, and tie him to a chair. That's when Jorge himself emerges from behind a wall, revealing that he survived the gunshot from Gustavo. Gustavo's heart sinks, and he knows that he is going to die.

### ***Outlaw***

Gustavo pleads for his life, begging to not be killed by Jorge. Jorge orders his henchmen, Juan, to give him the baseball bat that he is holding. Jorge then strikes Gustavo in the leg with the bat, angrily ordering him to tell him who contracted his kill. Gustavo lets out a loud scream. Jorge then smashes the bat down on Gustavo's leg one more time. Gustavo however refuses to reveal who contracted the hit. Jorge grows increasingly angry, and he eventually gives up. He pulls out a suppressed Pistol and holds it against Gustavo's head, ready to kill him, when all of a sudden, one of Jorge's henchmen is shot and killed by Stan, who announces his presence. Juan aims his Assault Rifle at Stan, who takes cover behind a mantle. Gustavo headbutts Jorge, and takes his pistol. A large gunfight ensues, with Gustavo shooting Juan in the arm.

Jorge takes cover behind a wall next to the mantle, which gives him a clear shot at Stan. He takes it, and he shoots Stan in the chest. Gustavo continues to fire at both Juan and Jorge. Jorge decides to quickly escape, and so he grabs Juan, and the duo quickly flee the scene. Gustavo exits from his cover, and he walks over to Stan, who is lying on the floor by the mantle. Gustavo kneels down, and asks him why he's in Key Largo. Stan admits that he's a DEA agent who was assigned to gather intelligence on Gustavo and his empire. Gustavo is shocked, and at a loss of words. He decides to leave Stan to bleed out and die. He calls Tyler for help on cleaning up his house. Tyler arrives, and Gustavo puts on some old 60's music while they clean, meanwhile Stan bleeds out and dies.

After cleaning the main area, they now dispose of Stan's body, and never speak of him again. It was as if the whole situation never happened. Then they remember that they still need to dispose of Stan's car, which they drive out to a random quarry and leave it there.

After the cleanup, Gustavo calls Cody and informs him that Jorge is not dead. Shocked, Cody tells his security to keep and extra close watch out for Jorge. Gustavo calms Cody down and ensures him that he didn't tell Jorge that Cody ordered the hit. Isabella arrives home, and Gustavo tells her about his eventful day. The next morning, Gustavo heads over to The Top, where he holds a meeting with Cody, Annemarie, and Tyler. He tells them that in order to survive and stay strong, they need to grow their empire. Gustavo tells them that he plans on buying something larger to manufacturer and sell out of, rather than a cocaine warehouse. Something that can change the state of the drug empire forever. He doesn't know what yet, but he knows for sure that he is going to do it.

Later, Tyler reminds Gustavo that they still need to do the job that Carlos provided for them. Gustavo states that he should buy an airfield and a plane, which they could use to travel and traffic more easily. And so Gustavo goes out, and buys a hangar and airfield from an ex-air force pilot named Charlie Simmons. Gustavo learns that Charlie has a small petty criminal history, and so he informs him of his drug empire business. He then recruits Charlie into his empire. Charlie then lends Gustavo his Boeing 727 Narrow-body airliner plane.

### ***El Trato***

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.

### ***Dead by the Docks***

After landing the plane at Gustavo's airfield in Key Largo, Gustavo called Carlos and let him know that the job was done. Carlos then tells both Gustavo and Tyler to come to his mansion. Gustavo and Tyler oblige and they then head to Carlos' mansion. Once they arrive, Carlos pays the duo the $1 million dollars that he promised. They split it equally.

Gustavo returns home to his wife, Isabella, and the two have a drink. All seems well, until Gustavo and Isabella get a knock on their door. Gustavo volunteers to answer it, and when he does, he encounters a trio of police officers. The officers ask Gustavo about the recent disappearance of Stan, who we all know is dead. Gustavo denies any knowledge of Stan's sudden disappearance, and the officers quickly leave. Gustavo heads back to Isabella and informs her of the officers arrival.

Meanwhile, Tyler heads to a small dock owned by a man named Harold Maine. Tyler offers to pay Harold $800,000 for the dock. Harold quickly takes the money and sells Tyler the dock. The dock also comes with a small red speedboat. Tyler bought this dock to traffic oversea's. He calls Gustavo to inform him of his recent purchase, and Gustavo thanks him for helping out.

Back with Gustavo, he heads over to Cody's ranch to talk about a new business opportunity. When he arrives however, he see's Cody having a drink with Harold Maine, the former owner of the dock that Tyler had recently purchased. Apparently, Harold is a money launderer for Cody, which he used his dock business to launder money through. After finding out that Harold had sold the dock to Tyler, he became furious, meaning that they could no longer launder money unless they bought another business, which also means that Cody has lost all of his potential money and clients. Cody see's Gustavo and tells him to leave his property. Gustavo tries to reason with him, but Cody tells him that their partnership is over. Gustavo gets in his car, and leaves Cody's ranch.

Cody continues to talk with Harold, and he expresses how angry he is with Harold. Cody asks Harold why in the world would he sell the dock, and Harold states that he was offered $800,000 from Tyler. Cody shakes his head, and he gets up from his seat, pulls out a Revolver and then shoots Harold in the face, causing the glass of wine to spill all over Harold's dead body.

Tyler heads over to The Top where he finds his mother, Annemarie, working. He sits down at the bar and asks her for a drink. She gets him a glass of whiskey, and he watches the football game on the small television above Annemarie's head. In the background on the jukebox plays *Whiskey River* by *Willie Nelson*. That's when all of a sudden, a group of Cody's redneck henchmen bust in through the doors, and begin shooting at Tyler. Tyler jumps over the bar, and tackles his mother to the ground. He pulls out a Pistol, and begins shooting back at the henchmen. He kills all of the henchmen, and takes a deep breath.

Tyler then loads the henchmen bodies onto his red speedboat down at his new dock, and drives them out to the ocean, where he dumps their bodies.

### ***El Hombre***

Tyler calls Gustavo to inform him of Cody's attack, and Gustavo is shocked. Gustavo gets a knock at his door, and with caution, he swings open the door, only to find Harold's dead body, hung by his neck from a hook and a rope with blood dripping down his face. It was obviously placed there by Cody. Gustavo tells Tyler that he'll call him back, and Gustavo then calls the local police.

After arriving, the police evacuate Gustavo from his home, and they search his home for any evidence, not finding anything. Gustavo decides not to tell the police about the Cody situation. After the police leave and clean up the body, Gustavo gives Cody a call. Gustavo threatens Cody to stay the hell away from him and his wife. Cody chuckles and then hangs up. Tyler shows up at Gustavo's house to check up on him, and Gustavo assures Tyler that he's okay.

Gustavo then decides to make a rational decision. He calls Jorge, and tells him that Cody was the one who contracted the hit. Jorge chuckles, and states that he is wrong for following orders from Cody. He then tells Gustavo that he is heading over to his house. Soon after, Jorge arrives at Gustavo's home only to greet both Gustavo and Tyler. Jorge asks Gustavo what happened to Stan, and Gustavo tells him that he disposed of the body. Jorge nods, and then tells Gustavo that he is going to head over to Cody's ranch and have a "friendly chat" with him. Jorge tells his henchmen, Juan, to stay overnight at Gustavo's house while he heads back home and prepares for the visit. Gustavo tells Tyler to head home, and Tyler leaves.

Gustavo sits down at the kitchen table with Juan, and the two have a conversation. Juan gets up to use the restroom, and Gustavo calls Cody. He tells Cody that he informed Jorge of the truth. Cody immediately hangs up, and tells his security to get ready for whatever is coming.

Later that night, Isabella gets home from work, and she see's Juan sitting on the couch watching the television. She asks him who he is, and Gustavo assures her that he is a friend. Gustavo gets a call from Jorge. Gustavo takes the call outside, and Jorge tells him that they are ready to move on Cody tomorrow. Gustavo says okay, and then hangs up. He pulls a cigarette out, and lights it. He begins smoking it. A few minutes pass, and all of a sudden, he hears his wife screaming from inside the house. Gustavo drops his cigarette, and flies into the house. He looks around, and hears his wife screaming from upstairs. Gustavo pulls his Pistol out, and dashes up the stairs and into his bedroom, where he finds Juan trying to sexually assault Isabella. Gustavo runs over to Juan, and pulls him off of her. He begins punching Juan in the face repeatedly until his face is covered in blood, all this happens as Isabella watches. Gustavo then drags Juan out of the room by his shirt collar, and then drops him on the floor. Gustavo gets down on his knees, and looks Juan in the eyes. Gustavo berates Juan for trying to assault Isabella, yelling at him to the point of Juan's face being covered in spit. Gustavo then tells Juan that his name is "El Hombre" and that he shall remember that name for the rest of his short life. He then gets off of his knees, and shoots Juan in the face, killing him. Gustavo decides that "El Hombre' shall be his new nickname.

Isabella watches in shock, and Gustavo calmly chucks the Pistol onto a nearby dresser. He looks over at Isabella, who is visibly shaken, and asks her if she's okay. She nods her head, and Gustavo then drags Juan's body downstairs. He drags his body outside, where he then spends the next two hours digging a hole, placing Juan's body in the hole, and then burying him.

Meanwhile, Tyler receives a knock at his door. It's a police officer, asking for the whereabouts of Stan. Tyler tells the officer that he has no clue where Stan is, and the officer leaves. Tyler then texts Gustavo, informing him of the arriving officer.

### ***Sold***

The next day comes, and Isabella is still shaken up about Juan's death. Gustavo wakes up, and gets a call from Jorge. Jorge tells Gustavo that he is ready to move on Cody. Gustavo then makes up a lie, and tells Jorge that Juan has disappeared. Jorge is surprised, and he then tells Gustavo that he is heading over to his house. Gustavo gets nervous, and hangs up. Moments later, Jorge pulls into Gustavo's drive way, along with about twenty other black SUV's filled with his henchmen. Jorge exits his vehicle, and walks up to the home. Gustavo asks Jorge about the large henchmen convoy, and Jorge tells him that it's for Cody and his men. Gustavo nods his head, and Jorge changes the subject to Juan. Jorge asks Gustavo where Juan is and what happened to him. Gustavo simply lies and tells him that after he and Isabella woke up, he was missing. Jorge then suggests that one of Cody's henchmen could have captured him and are holding him for ransom. Gustavo agrees with that statement, knowing damn well that Juan's dead body is buried outside in the back yard. Gustavo then "wishes Jorge good luck", and Jorge and his men set off for Cody's ranch.

The drive to Cody's ranch is a bit long, so Jorge entertains himself by watching cartel snuff films on his smartphone. That's when all of a sudden, Jorge's personal bodyguard/driver is shot in the face. Bullets then begin to riddle Jorge's car from an unknown position. Jorge grabs the Assault Rifle from on the floorboards, and begins shooting at random areas around him, completely shattering the windshield. He then gets out of his car, along with every one of his cartel henchmen, and they all take cover behind their respective vehicles. That's when Jorge notices a small group of Cody's men sitting atop a small hill with Assault Rifles. He angrily gets up from behind cover, and shoots at the Texan gangster's, killing them. Jorge tells his large army that they need to continue the battle on foot. The cartel army then begin slowly but surely walking up the dirt road that eventually enters Cody's property.

Once arriving at the main entrance to the ranch, Jorge's and his henchmen are shot at by more of Cody's men. They all take cover behind tree's, rocks and small ledges. A small shootout occurs, with Jorge and his men taking the win. They continue up the dirt road, now entering onto Cody's property. All of a sudden, Jorge is shot in the chest by a hidden Texan henchmen. However, Jorge is wearing a bulletproof vest. Jorge's henchmen try to locate the unknown attacker, but some of them are killed. Eventually, Jorge spots the attacker hiding in a tree, and he shoots him in the head, killing him. One of the cartel henchmen help Jorge up off the ground, and they continue to move up the path until they see the ranch. Jorge stops dead in his tracks, realizing that they are outnumbered, as Cody's entire ranch is surrounded. He orders his men to split up at different parts from around the ranch. After splitting up, Jorge then signals for his men to start shooting. Jorge and all of his henchmen begin to shoot at the ranch from all sides, killing most of the Texan henchmen. However, more and more henchmen begin spilling out from the ranch, and Jorge thinks that it's a good idea to move in. Jorge then orders his men to continue moving in. He exits from his cover behind a rock, and dashes towards the ranch, still shooting.

A majority of Jorge's henchmen are killed during the battle. He realizes this, and tries to retreat, but it's too late, as Cody himself is now outside, armed with a Pump Shotgun. Cody starts to shoot his rounds at the ledge that Jorge is taking cover behind. Jorge shoots a few rounds at Cody's position, but they all miss. At this point, all of Jorge's men have been killed, and Cody orders Jorge to step out from behind the rock with his hands up. Having nothing else to do or say, Jorge chucks his Assault Rifle, and retreats from cover. Cody then orders Jorge to slowly walk towards him. While slowly walking, Jorge then tells Cody that his men will kill Cody if they were to ever find out that he killed him. Jorge is suddenly shot in the chest by Cody's Pistol, which he hid behind his back, immediately killing him. Cody then calmly orders his men to clean up the mess.

Back with Gustavo, he is watching the news on the television, where he witnesses the president declare war on drugs. Tyler takes his boat out for a drive, thinking that all of the chaos is finally over. Meanwhile up in California, a new DEA agent named Slate Morningham has been assigned to Gustavo's case in the replacement of Stan. Speaking of, an investigation has been launched for the disappearance of Stan, which the local police think was killed.
