He calls Richard but is actually pretending to be kidnapped in exchange for the ransom, but Richard and Elaine cut him off because they are having sex in the bathroom, although they believe their business with the cartel is catching up to them and they are genuinely terrified. Harold later gets the brothers to help him make a phone call. As the cartel goes looking for him, they find that he has left the hotel and is now staying at a smaller motel run by brothers Ronaldo (Diego Catano) and Ernesto (Rodrigo Corea). Harold is left behind in Mexico to handle other business. Elaine uses her sex appeal to sway the men into buying what she and Richard are selling. Back at Promethium, Richard and Elaine promote their new product, a weed pill called Cannabax, to potential buyers Jerry (Alan Ruck) and Marty (Kenneth Choi). Sanchez tells Villegas about them getting cut off by Promethium, and after showing Villegas a picture of Harold, the kingpin is led to believe that Harold is the boss, so he orders his men to go find him after having them cut off Sanchez's toe to show that nobody messes with them. Sanchez goes to meet with cartel leader Villegas, the Black Panther (Carlos Corona). ![]() Meanwhile, Sunny and Miles arrive in Mexico as Miles maintains contact with his guy that wants to send the drugs back with him. He attempts to get her to talk more, but she hangs up on him. At the hotel, he is having a Skype call with Bonnie where she admits to having an affair and that she plans to leave Harold. ![]() Later on, the three have dinner, with Harold secretly recording what Richard and Elaine say about him when he walks away. It turns out they have been selling their latest product to the Mexican cartel in order to get more money back, and now Promethium has decided to cut them off to avoid harming their merger. Richard and Elaine enter his office while Harold sits outside. They go meet with a rep of theirs named Celerino Sanchez (Hernan Mendoza). Harold, Richard, and Elaine arrive in Mexico where they meet Angel (Yul Vasquez), an old friend of Harold's. He agrees to it and decides to take Sunny with him. A friend of Miles, Nelly (Paris Jackson), enters the shop to tell Miles that someone down in Mexico wants him to smuggle some drugs into the U.S. Elsewhere in the city is a guitar shop run by Sunny (Amanda Seyfried) and her boyfriend Miles (Harry Treadaway). ![]() Harold goes into Richard's office and finds a file on his computer that he copies to his own drive. Richard makes an allusion to a study he read on a gorilla being fed carrots when he wants bananas as a means for Harold to be convinced to go through with this so he will eventually be rewarded. When he gets to work, Harold is told by Richard that the two of them, plus Elaine, are going to be flying to Mexico to handle business involving a company merger, although Harold doesn't know that it's supposed to be a merger. He meets with his accountant, who tells him that because of Bonnie's reckless spending, they are broke. We go back to two days earlier where Harold is merely a mild-mannered rep for Promethium, living in Chicago and married to Bonnie (Thandie Newton). Richard answers to hear his friend and employee, Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo), crying for help, claiming he has been kidnapped in Mexico and that his abductors are demanding a ransom of $5 million. In the offices of a pharmaceutical company called Promethium, we see the CEO Richard Rusk (Joel Edgerton) being interrupted from having sex from behind with his co-boss Elaine Markinson (Charlize Theron) by a phone call. ![]() Sanchez informs cartel leader Villegas about them getting cut off by Promethium Villegas maims Sanchez and, believing that Harold is Promethium's boss, orders his capture. That night, he also discovers that his wife is having an affair and wants a divorce. He learns from the recording the merger plans, which would result in Harold losing his job. Later that evening, as Richard, Elaine and Harold have dinner, Harold secretly records Richard's and Elaine's conversations while he is away from the table. Promethium has decided to cut them off to avoid harming their upcoming merger. Unbeknownst to Harold, it is revealed that Sanchez has been selling Promethium's latest product, medical marijuana in the shape of a pill, to a Mexican cartel. One day earlier, Harold, Richard, and Elaine arrive in Mexico where they meet Sanchez, head of Promethium's Mexico plant. In the Chicago offices of Promethium Pharmaceuticals, co-presidents Richard Rusk and Elaine Markinson receive a call from a company employee, Harold Soyinka, who claims he has been kidnapped in Mexico and that his abductors are demanding a ransom of five million US dollars.
