Benicio explains the Joint venture. Various gangs team up; one gang makes plans and everything, another gang’s leader knows the plan, and the other two gangs just work as manpower. Together they take an entire city hostage, they use war tactics, military-grade weapons. There is another gang who is above all of them, “The Organization.”
The organization coordinates everything. Mamute, a criminal who died in the recent shootout, was the head of The Organization in São Paulo. Moreira worked in the organization as an undercover agent; he finds it odd that The Organization sends Mamute and Soulless for the robbery.

Benicio and Sullen go to the driver’s place and wait outside. Sullen asks Benicio about Santos’ death; Benicio tells Sullen that it’s his fault Santos is dead.
The night before the murder, Benicio and Santos were drinking, Benicio forced Santos to take more drinks. The next day, The Organization attacks the prison, and twenty-five prisoners escaped; Soulless takes a police officer as a hostage to escape the prison. Santos fires at Soulless, and Soulless falls down. Santos thought Soulless is dead, so he leaves his cover and goes towards Soulless. Soulless wasn’t dead, and he fires back at Santos. A police officer shouldn’t leave their cover until they are sure the person is dead. Benicio thought Santos was hungover, that’s why he wasn’t thinking straight.

They also find weapons and ammo.
Agent Moreira started his own investigation about The Organization. Moreira finds out the motive of the organization doing robberies. The Organization is actually in the drug business; they had an opponent which was Riyad. Riyad was known as the king of the borders who helped people in transporting drugs to other countries. The Organization killed Riyad and became the new king of the borders. But they forgot about the Ambassador.
The Ambassador is also a drug lord who works in Paraguay; the Ambassador became angry after the death of Riyad; he needed Riyad for his business. His organization is small, but the Ambassador has firepower. He orders his men to kill The Organization’s men who try to cross the border with drugs. It was very bad for the organization, so they started paying The Ambassador. They pay him the money they stole from the banks.
