The Mule (2018)
In 2005 in Peoria, Illinois, Earl misses his daughter Iris’ wedding in order to attend an Horticultural awards ceremony that results in his estrangement from Iris and his eventual divorce from his wife Mary. Twelve years later, Earl’s house is foreclosed on by the bank and the homeless 80 year old Earl visits his granddaughter Ginny in order to attend her wedding rehearsal. While there he is spotted by a member of a drug cartel who recognizes the use Earl would have for the cartel as a mule. Earl accepts the offer and becomes a “mule” transporting cocaine through Illinois for a Mexican drug cartel.
Facing little suspicion due to his age, race, spotless criminal history, and strict adherence to driving laws, Earl is soon trusted with huge amounts of drugs and is paid large amounts of cash. Over time Earl gets more involved with the cartel and becomes one of their best mules. With the money he buys a new truck, saves his home from foreclosure and even pays for renovations of the local VFW Post (which had been damaged in a fire). Finally Earl pays for Ginny’s wedding and college education. Earl becomes known to the cartel members and is given the nickname “Tata” (grandfather). Meanwhile, Agent Colin Bates moves to the Chicago DEA office and is assigned Agent Trevino as his partner.
