The story begins with a man, known only as "The Counselor" (Michael Fassbender) and his girlfriend Laura (Penélope Cruz),
lying in bed and having oral sex. Somewhere in Mexico, cocaine is being
packaged in barrels and concealed in a sewage truck. The truck is
driven across the border and stored at a sewage treatment plant. The Counselor goes to Amsterdam on what he claims is a business trip, but is actually a meeting with a diamond dealer (Bruno Ganz)
in order to purchase an engagement ring for Laura. Back in the United
States, The Counselor proposes to Laura, and she accepts. Later, he
attends a party at a house owned by Reiner (Javier Bardem) and his girlfriend Malkina (Cameron Diaz).
The Counselor and Reiner have a lengthy discussion, during which Reiner
claims that The Counselor is not capitalizing on his position of power
as much as he could be. The Counselor meets with Westray (Brad Pitt), a business associate, to express interest in a drug deal with a four-thousand percent return rate.
Westray warns The Counselor about becoming involved in such a deal,
saying that Mexican cartels are merciless, particularly to lawyers.
Later, The Counselor visits one of his clients, a prison inmate named
Ruth (Rosie Perez)
who is on trial for murder. Ruth's son is a biker and a high-level
cartel member known as "The Green Hornet" recently arrested for
speeding. The Counselor agrees to bail him out of jail. Malkina employs
"The Wireman" (Sam Spruell)
to steal the drugs. He does this by decapitating the biker with a wire
stretched across the highway. After collecting the component that will
allow the sewage truck to start, The Wireman drives to the sewage
treatment plant, where he steals the truck containing the cocaine.
Learning of this incident, Westray calls The Counselor to notify him
that The Green Hornet is dead and that the cocaine has been stolen,
bleakly intoning The Counselor's culpability.
