I'm Not Afraid
Betrayal comes in the form of a phone call, as Miguel and his friends set out to rescue Felipe. Rodrigo makes a decision with devastating consequences.

One of the most intensely vulgar expressions in Mexican Spanish. Used to vent sudden anger or disbelief. Not appropriate in formal or mixed company. The word 'chingada' alone (and its many derivatives) is one of the defining strong expletives of Mexican profanity.
Expresses disbelief or dismissal. Softer alternatives include 'no manches' or 'no mames', but 'no chingues' is the blunter, more vulgar version. Very common in informal Mexican speech between peers.
Literally 'everyone scratches themselves with their own nails.' A fixed Mexican idiom signaling that cooperation is over and individuals must look out for themselves. Non-compositional: the nail-scratching image does not convey the meaning on its own.
Literally 'to throw headfirst.' In Mexican colloquial use it means to inform on or implicate someone to authorities. Non-compositional: the literal image gives no clue to the meaning.
Literally refers to a male goat that has been cuckolded. In Mexican Spanish it functions across a wide tonal range: as a serious insult between enemies, as a rough term of address between close friends, or as a marker of grudging respect. Context and tone are everything.
In Mexican colloquial speech 'jalar' frequently means to go or head somewhere, not just to pull physically. '¿Para dónde jalamos?' means 'Where are we headed?' This directional sense is characteristic of Mexican informal usage.
Transparent at face value, but in Mexican speech it frequently carries a sarcastic or skeptical undertone rather than neutral curiosity. The tone the speaker uses shifts the meaning considerably.
