Throughout most of the film, Beans believes that Loco and El Plaga are the same person, thinking Loco is the mysterious drug lord manipulating both gangs. However, the revelation comes during the Botanica showdown when Beans reveals his plan to make the feuding gangs destroy each other, prompting Loco to realize that Biggis, not Loco, is actually El Plaga, the true mastermind behind the chaos.
