The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn a Mexican warehouse, Pablo Chacon shows up unannounced, saying he brought the gringo himself so the handoff would go as planned. His man says the shipment already left with a gringo who has the haircut of a donkey. They match the face: wrong white guy. Cut to the fake Millers: their overloaded RV dies in the desert, Casey goes sarcastic, Rose starts lecturing, and two strangers who want to hold the weed baby offer a tow. Watch how a haircut becomes an ID, and a plan falls apart.
