Reveal Season 2 story spoilers

Arturo demands to know where Joe is and what happened to the drugs. When Joe offers to lead his men to Hector at his flat, Arturo sends Susie with armed escorts and orders them to kill her if Hector is not there. Jack interrupts the transfer and shoots the escorts. Inside the restaurant, Joe struggles with Arturo for his weapon, and Susie returns with a gun and shoots Arturo.[1]

Personality

Reveal story spoilers

His bargaining uses immediate lethal threats rather than an appeal to a neutral business agreement. Demanding both the money and control over the people involved makes his coercive role explicit; a larger personal backstory is not established.[1]

Notes

Juan Cely is paired with Arturo in the Episode 5 credit list. Bruno and Angel are named in the recap as men involved in the restaurant confrontation, but their actor pairings remain unresolved.[1]
