Dark Forces: The Cartel War

Season 1 - Chapter VII - Culiacán

John is on a helicopter headed back to Mexico

John: The U.N isn't playing ball we're on our own. C.I.A Director: We're pulling out then. John: No. This is getting too hot. C.I.A Director: I can't condone this. You do this you're on your own. The president is already up and arms about this. John: The U.N can't see the bigger picture. There useless as always.

Back in Mexico, Gallus is looking at at a E-22 and then calls his wife with a holographic device

Mara: There you are, you've had me worried sick! Gallus: I've been better. Mara: Are you okay? What's wrong? Gallus: We were fighting the cartels and look what they got there hands on.

Gallus shows her the E-22

Mara: An imperial blaster. Gallus: Yeah. Mara: How did they get that? All the way out here? Gallus: I don't know. Mara: You don't think? Gallus: No, at least I don't think so. I haven't seen any. Mara: Are we going to leave? Gallus: No, no, it's too risky especially with the baby. Just stay safe, I'll figure out how they got there hands on these.

Later, everyone is sitting down and resting

Chris: Bad news. That was Cohen, the U.N isn't backing us on this. Gallus: Of course. What else is new? Chris: They want us to pull out. Richard: Are we? Chris: Nope. Tenant's out, we're on our own. Richard: Fuck! Chris: Better make your shots count boys.

Gallus is going up to Carlos to figure out what to do next

Gallus: How much longer until we get to Alejandro? Carlos: There's still a heavy cartel presence in the city. Gallus: We've pushed them back far enough to be able to get through and out of the city. Carlos: And what of the people here. What makes their lives any less important than the ones in the U.S. Gallus: We are already in deep shit by being here illegally. The sooner we get Alejandro and Guzman, the faster we could stop the cartels. We move out at 0500, make a B line dash out of the city. Yeah? Carlos: You can't be serious! This is the only thing standing between the border and the cartels! This place falls then we're all in a world of shit! Gallus: Come on Carlos, we already are.

Later around midnight Cohen returns to Juárez

Chris: Welcome back to paradise Cohen! John: Plans have changed. With the U.N not backing us we're rogue agents. We need to get DeSantos fast. Everybody get on board!

Gallus and Richard board the helicopter

Carlos: What are you doing? You can't just leave the battlefield! John: We're not. We're just advancing the front line! Public pressure is mounting, we're on borrowed time.

John gets on the helicopter

John: We'll be back once El Chapo and DeSantos have been dealt with.

The helicopter takes off

Chris: Pretty cold leaving the Colonel like that. John: We don't have a choice. The U.N wants us out and that's a luxury we can't afford.

Azrael watches the helicopter leave the city

Azrael: What are they doing? Where are they going? Checo: They're heading further inland, possibly to Culiaćan. Azrael: For El Chapo. Checo: What do we do? Azrael:... Let them go. Checo: What? Azrael: We push back further into the city and reclaim the ground we lost. Chapo could handle himself.
