In "881 Lope de Vega" the DEA scrambles to find where Gallardo is keeping Kiki. They bring agents from all over the US to help. Meanwhile Rafa and his girlfriend flee to Costa Rica as Gallardo tells Rafa that he would end up being the fall man if he stays. But when the DEA and local law enforcement start putting the squeeze on his operation, Felix puts in an anonymous tip as to where they can find Rafa.
Meanwhile Kiki continues to be tortured but can't give any answers as he doesn't know as much as they assumed. They bring in a doctor to keep him alive and conscious as they interrogate him. Rafa ends up getting tortured a bit himself. He gives them am address that turns out to be empty...
I thought this episode was really well done. All the acting is great. And it really walks a thin line with the torture that is hard to do: show us enough to make us uncomfortable and empathetic but not showing us so much that it just turns into a gore-fest that makes me turn off my mind and my TV.
The actress that plays Mika has to do a lot of heavy lifting on screen in this episode and I think she does a fabulous job. It's really her front and center here for the first time. The show uses her as the emotional weight to Kiki's disappearance (which makes sense) and she's able to pull it off. Solid ep.
