EVENTS AND CHARACTERS ARE FICTIONAL, ANY LIKENESS TO REALITY IS COINCIDENTAL.

Attorney Moranzón,

I imagine that you've read the prosecutor's report.

It's negative.

Judge,

if I may, I'd like to be frank.

Go ahead.

Look, I've been working on Gastón's case for months.

He's a four-year-old boy who lives with his mother

in a modest apartment in Villa Lugano.

I know the case inside out,

and I beg to differ.

His mother has a history of addiction,

but she's been clean and sober for two years.

There is love in that house.

And I truly can't see anyone taking better care of Gastón than Susana.

I'm sure of this because I've seen it.

And I know that there's a very strong and stable emotional bond between them,

which is fundamental

for the boy's future emotional and psychological development.

And for any child

that may come in the future.

Mommy! Come here. Come to the bathroom.

Come on, Gastón. Give me a goddamn break!

Mommy, now! Come on.

Answer me, Mom.

Come on.

Wake up, Mom.

This is a message for Attorney Moranzón

from Judge Martínez's chambers.

We need you to contact us urgently, please.

There has been an accident involving the minor Gastón López.

Unfortunately, he died.

The judge wants to speak with you as you know the case well.

CAUSE OF DEATH: MULTIPLE FRACTURES DUE TO FREE FALL

I'm sorry.

IN THE MUD

She had an allergic reaction to the sedatives.

Liar.

That's the second girl to die in childbirth in two months.

What's more, we're in trouble because Judge Romero is under investigation.

They found your name on the paperwork.

- Just my name? - Yes.

Then they're not doing their job properly. You're just as responsible for this as me.

You heard her screaming like crazy,

asking for her baby.

I had to take care of it because you didn't.

You're perverse.

I guess you're not able to manipulate them like you used to.

You're awful. You know what my goal is here.

I only ever wanted to get them out of this prison

and into better homes.

You do it for the money.

Who were you working with?

If I go down, you go down too. You know that.

What's going on with Romero? How did you find out?

The governor told me.

Don't worry. He's not going to do anything about it.

Of course...

in exchange for a favor.

Perfect.

I'll take care of this.

Hey. You're back from your tests already.

It's going to be okay.

They said that you should rest after the biopsy.

Rest?

Have you ever seen a spa with metal bars?

I have no choice. But you?

- How did you end up here? - This is my job.

I'm here because of Moranzón.

Yes. You look young.

You could get a better job.

Sorry.

I'm all wrapped up in my head.

It's just that my husband was taken out of prison

to die in a hospital.

- Just like that girl. - What girl?

The pregnant one.

The one they took to give birth who never returned.

Oh, Noelia.

That's the one, Noelia.

They probably told her it would be quick and easy.

And she ended up just like my husband.

- Any idea what happened to her? - Complications in labor, they say.

Borges.

They said you have to rest.

Stop chatting with her.

Everything will be okay.

Here. You have to take this.

And stay there. You look quite pale. Okay?

Did you watch the videos?

Yes?

I need to know if you were aware

that you were being filmed every time you had sex.

Did you know?

Marina, the voice messages prove

that there was a consensual relationship between you and them.

If you don't talk, we're done.

How do you expect us to defend you?

You have to be honest with us.

I am being honest with you.

It was all weird from the start.

When I came to Buenos Aires, I didn't know anyone.

Then I met them, and they gave me a home away from home.

My relationship with my boyfriend was normal and healthy at first.

There was no jealousy or anything. Then it all went to hell.

And no,

I didn't know that they were filming me.

It's important that we reconstruct what happened that night.

I know it's painful. Really, I do.

But you need to be strong, okay?

If they were filming you every time you had sex,

it's not crazy to suspect that Darío was there.

Of course. He was probably hiding somewhere.

Okay.

Well, I'll pursue this notion in court.

All right. I'll keep you posted.

Scared?

No, I'm laughing my ass off.

This is for you.

I have a soft spot for you.

That's why I'm here.

Don't worry. Moranzón doesn't know that I'm here.

We've discovered that several babies were bought and adopted

from institutions run by Moranzón.

It looks like a child trafficking scheme.

What a bitch. I knew it. She must be reported.

Reported to who?

She could be bribing multiple judges. We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot.

So that heifer is dishing out kids like tea bags,

and we can't do anything about it?

This is Argentina.

As the saying goes, "If you don't ask, you don't get."

Don't bullshit me.

Please don't. I got you the information you asked for on Moranzón.

Now you do your part.

I don't want to fucking die in here.

I need more evidence.

Something more solid, more convincing.

The governor and his wife

have become attached to a little girl in here.

An inmate's daughter?

- For Faccia? - They want to adopt her.

And Moranzón is trying to pull the strings and pave the way

to convince the mother to hand her over.

That really is excellent news.

Keep this up,

and you'll be in Mar del Plata with your grandson by next weekend.

- What else do you want? - Undeniable, indisputable proof.

Excuse me, Antín.

We have to go.

- Selva. - Selva.

Nice to see you, Capece.

Hey, do you want this?

What flavor?

Dulce de leche.

No. My dental work costs enough as it is.

- China, make some tea for Lefty. - No need.

Yes, there is. Sit down.

Make yourself comfy.

Sit for a while.

You know what I find the hardest about being locked up? Really.

The loneliness.

You find it hard too.

Look, when I left home,

I must have been 17 or 18 years old,

and I left to chase after my boyfriend.

An asshole. An idiot.

God! The first of many, so many.

A long list.

And I was never really alone.

Never.

I jumped from one relationship to another like a creeping vine.

Until Crow showed up.

And I stayed with him for ten years.

Ten years of my life by his side, joined at the hip.

It's madness. So many years.

What's truly amazing is that I had to end up in this hellhole

to realize that we are born alone and die alone.

You could make some friends and stop trampling over everyone.

Oh, no! No.

Friends, she says... No.

I was talking about another type of loneliness.

I'd rather be friends with the cockroaches.

Here's your cut. It wasn't a good week.

That's all there is.

Wait, that's not much.

Try harder. Your business is going well. Make the girls work a bit harder.

I have to pay the girls. That's all there is.

You have to explain to the girls how things work now.

I don't know. I'd hate for my people

to have to go and bother Lalo.

I don't know. I wouldn't want things to get out of hand

and for you to end up alone.

- Like me. - That won't be necessary.

You win.

The business is all yours.

We must convince her.

Become friends with her.

I don't know what she's thinking.

- This is what's best for her. - I don't get along with her, but I'll try.

She's very scared. A lot has been going on, ma'am.

We must be patient right now.

- I can talk to her. - No.

Not you! You of all people?

How could you talk to her?

Rosetta.

Look, I know you're upset about what happened to Noelia.

I understand that you're hurt.

But I assure you, we did everything we could.

You know the children are all I care about.

Why else did I fight so hard for your grandson to be with you

instead of your daughter?

Yes, I know. Thank you.

I'll see what I can do.

Now go.

Let's go.

Come on.

Excuse me.

- Excuse me, Cecilia. - What is it?

She's in charge of cleaning the office today.

The cleaning team reassigned her.

At your disposal for whatever you need.

Well, clean everything properly.

- Shall I start? - Yes.

Sure.

- I'll just start, then. - Yes.

Don't break anything.

Oh, you scared me.

Oh, well.

What's he doing here?

The mother had an intimate visit.

Things are tense in her block.

She asked me to look after the baby for a while.

- Is something wrong? - Nothing.

Is he asleep?

Almost.

Here, take him for a bit. I need a cigarette.

Oh, okay. Hush.

There.

There you go.

It suits you.

Forget it.

I won't be making you an aunt any time soon.

Oh, what a shame.

It kills me to think about Lalo. How he must be running and hiding.

Lalo can run out there.

We need to look after ourselves and be strong in here.

Yes, I know.

The girl.

Oh, Marina. I was looking for you.

You have an intimate visit later on.

Today?

- Today. - With who?

With the Prince of Wales. What does it matter?

Change your panties.

Choose a nice, cute, super sexy new thong.

You'll be fine.

Fine, I'll do it. But I want twice what I got paid last time.

Look at this one.

Putting a price on her pussy.

Are you buying a luxury condo, princess?

I need it, Lefty.

You're pretty. The jerk-off will pay it. But don't get used to it.

Oh, look at the posh one asking for more money.

Hush! Don't start any trouble. Someone's sleeping here.

You run a daycare now instead of a brothel?

- Okay, but hush. - The earnings have been really bad.

Are you playing dumb with The Galician?

You know this business. You know how much comes in.

Yes. I know that you tossed me out on my ass.

I don't work for you anymore. Now you work for me.

I just came to collect the cash.

You're not collecting cash.

You're just a fucking errand-boy stirring shit.

If you say so, but you're not the boss anymore.

As for you, golden pussy, there's no raise.

Mind your own business.

The one who didn't wanna show her ass has become a whore.

I'll make a hole in your face!

- Fucking asshole! - Hey! Enough!

I'll ruin the other side of your face!

The Galician will kick your ass.

- I'll kill you, pussycat! - We gave you everything! Ungrateful bitch!

What's all this?

Troublemakers go in the hole. Is that clear?

You heard me, huh?

- Come on, Brisa. Eat. - No.

Eat, sweetie. You haven't eaten anything all day.

- I don't want it. - Why? Goddamn it, kid! Eat.

No.

Why don't you accept their offer?

- I don't want to. - How do you know?

- How do I know? - Okay, just one.

We know everything in here, honey. I already explained.

Do you really want to raise her here, in this prison?

- Do you think that's what's best for her? - Don't you dare.

Mind your own business. No one asked you for advice.

Give it to someone else. How could she be okay without her mom?

You're raising your grandson here.

Yes, but I wasn't made that offer. Think about what's in your best interest.

It's just some friendly advice.

We're not friends. You're being rude.

- Eat, baby. - No.

Spoiled brat! Fine, don't eat.

Come with me, Brisa.

- Like the ice cream outside? - Don't.

Don't talk to my girl, fucking bitch.

Fuck off.

Those bags under your eyes make you look 15 years older.

- There's hyaluronic acid-- - I'm not interested.

- You haven't even tried it. - I'm not interested.

- If you don't try it... - Okay.

Where were you?

Paperwork.

The Galician has gone too far.

I have an idea. If it works, we've got her.

Get off my case.

What are we waiting for?

She's messing with me and my business.

I want her gone.

Hold tight. It's not the right time.

Lefty, can I talk to you?

What is it?

How are you doing, honey? How are you feeling?

Like a cow ready for slaughter.

I'll get the results in a few weeks.

You'll be fine. Don't worry. You'll be okay.

That's sweet, but your face says something else.

- I just don't know what to do. - What?

It's my little girl. She's acting so different, so strange, so...

She was so sweet, so well-behaved, so obedient.

Now she's spoiled and rude. Nothing pleases her.

All she does is ask about the puppy they gave her,

where Eugenia is, and why she isn't with them. She...

I don't know what's best for her.

Her mom is what's best for her. You need to get that into your head.

Here?

In this place?

With no education and no future?

Gladys, that dog probably eats better than we do.

I'm scared of losing her.

No, stop. That's not going to happen.

No, we're going to be strong.

It's not going to happen.

Listen to me. There's something bigger going on, okay?

If it goes well,

it will help stop them.

Stop who? I don't understand.

Moranzón. Something's going on with the kids and the babies.

Like what they're doing to you,

I think they're manipulating pregnant girls to give up their babies.

Like a breeding farm.

First, it was Patricia. Remember?

Then Noelia.

I saw Noelia and Elba talking about Patricia's baby.

No, suspicions aren't enough.

It has to be something more concrete, like a document or a signature.

Something that screws Moranzón over.

Doesn't she keep all of our files in her office?

You scared me. What?

We'll ruin that old bitch.

You really scared me.

Break it up, or I'll throw a bucket of water on you.

Are you eating properly?

Are you okay?

I thought the Family block would be busier today.

Such a disaster what happened to that girl.

Such a disaster.

But you know the state they're in. Their bodies, they don't...

Truth be told,

they're as unhealthy as can be.

Maybe Soriano isn't skilled enough either.

To take care of everything.

Sorry? Why?

In a situation like that, they should be taken to a hospital.

They have everything. More resources than us.

- We have nothing here. - What do you mean we have nothing?

You know the amount of resources that I provide.

The problem is I'm wishful. Then I come face-to-face with reality.

And what is the reality? Bureaucracy and budgets.

What do I know? I was just saying.

No, it's fine.

Have you seen your mother?

Yes, I called her yesterday.

Go visit her. It does her good.

NO ENTRY WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION

Oh, you kept me waiting.

Take your clothes off.

Relax.

Let's take it slow. We have time.

Take it all off.

Take it easy. Leave it to me.

You'll like it, I promise.

Shut your mouth, whore.

Stop!

No, please!

No! Son of a bitch! No!

No! Please don't!

- No! - Easy now.

Don't play hard to get.

Stop! Wait, no!

- Please. No! - Relax.

- Please don't. No! - Come here, motherfucker!

Let me go. I paid.

Let me go! I'm a paying customer!

Go in. Johanna, I'll leave her here with you.

Okay. No.

The Slag Sisters can wait outside. I don't want any trouble. Scram.

- Come in. - I feel fine. I don't need anything.

Why am I in the infirmary?

This is not up for discussion.

Soriano gives the orders. He's looking after you.

Sit down. We'll administer a subcutaneous solution.

It'll take a while, so don't be nervous.

Why is she here?

She was assigned to the infirmary. It's not up to me.

Should I pass you the bag?

- Please, Olga. - No.

If you're going to inject me, I want to see you open the needle.

Relax. I'll open the needle in front of you. No problem.

Look. Here it is.

It's sealed, look.

And there. I love the little sound that it makes.

There we go.

Ta-da. Thanks, girl.

Here goes.

So my old man rapes my sister

and impregnates her with a beautiful little girl.

You have no idea how beautiful.

You have no idea. So we all spoiled her rotten.

Then the son of a bitch rapes me.

And I have a little boy. And what does my grandmother do?

My grandmother gives him

to a woman in our town.

She takes him away from me.

So what do I do?

I grab a knife, go to her yard,

and kill all the rabbits.

One by one by one by one...

- I kill over 100 rabbits. - Wow.

Why am I telling you this?

It's important. Because let's say you come...

- Come on, Piquito. - What?

- Let's clean up. - I'm telling her my biggest trauma.

The reason I'm in here.

I'll tell her the rest. Clean up the cart.

But... okay, fine.

What's up?

It's chaos over there. I need help.

What's your problem, bitch?

- Whore. - Don't give her the satisfaction.

Yeah, but that bitch is always on my case.

Let's do one more video.

- No, Lechu. - Get pretty.

Please, I can't.

I'm tired. My legs are weak. I don't...

- Cleo! They found him. - No more.

- What? - They found your little boy.

- What? - I talked to Luna. You were right.

They caught him trying to cross the border to Paraguay with his grandma.

- They're bringing him back. - The brothel is closed.

What?

The business is closed for now. Do you hear me?

Do as I say! Now!

- Get out of here! - Move it.

Go! Get out! Now!

Get out! Let's go. Come on!

Lefty can't stand it anymore.

And I can't stop her.

She started trouble with The Galician.

She closed the whole brothel thing down.

What happened to not rushing?

She wants to show her that she won't ever leave the business.

We had a deal.

You're not going to back out now, are you?

How are you?

Fine. I don't know.

Well, some rest will do you good.

How can I rest after what just happened?

Who was that guy?

No idea.

Lefty set it up.

What? I have to defend myself in court. Lawyers cost money.

I don't want to be locked up forever.

Alan, come to the yard. I need you here.

You can't play those games here.

Coming.

Well, see you later.

What's up, Lefty? Did you give the girls the day off?

I'm sick of you! Go back to Spain! Nobody wants you here!

Scram!

I'd love to, but you'd have to take my passport out of your ass first.

Go on, get them!

Very bold,

but you'll end up skewered like a unicorn.

Drop the knife, fucking traitor!

You fucking traitor!

This is for María, you bitch!

Fucking bitch! Fucking shit!

- Motherfucker! - Hit her!

She had it coming!

Motherfucker!

Justice is served!

Stop! Enough!

Elba?

- What is it? - Come here. She's burning up.

I don't know. She's all sweaty.

- Let's see. - Feel her.

- Yeah. She's burning up. Let's go. - She's running a fever.

- Do you have a thermometer? - Go to Soriano.

- He should see her. - Thanks.

Oh, sweetie.

Let me get you some water. I'll be back.

When we were kids in the countryside,

my grandma sent us to school.

But instead of going to school,

I'd run away.

I'd go and fall asleep with the sheep.

What do you want? Shampoo? 500 pesos.

So I'd run away,

and I'd go in among the sheep

and sleep all day long.

- Do you know what sheep are like? - Stinky?

What do you mean stinky?

Don't they smell bad?

Oh no, look...

No, you can just curl up with them

all warm and cozy.

Come here.

Hey, Sol.

- Hey. - What's up?

- Still got more to mop? - All the way to the end.

Come by my block. I wanna tell you something.

- Something good or something bad? - Neutral.

Ask less questions

so your curiosity won't end up killing the cat.

- Let's go. - Why are you threatening me?

I'm not. I'm warning you.

Oh, okay.

I just cleaned there. Fine.

I mean, people want to know everything. You have to tell them everything.

Keep telling me about the sheep.

What does she have?

Her throat is swollen.

She has a high fever. She needs to see a pediatrician.

We should take her.

Take her where? No.

Alone? In this state?

You're a doctor. Give her something.

I'm an adult doctor.

Besides, I don't have any supplies

or equipment here to run tests on a child.

So what now?

Stay calm, please.

- Oh, Andrés. - Thank you. Cecilia.

- Governor, sir. - Hello.

What is he doing here?

Relax.

Please trust me.

My wife can take care of her.

She can take her to the pediatrician. Believe me. Allow me.

Excuse me, please. Let's see.

Look at her face, please. Let's see.

Hi, sweetheart.

She's burning up.

- Yes. - Please.

Let me take her, okay? It's for her own good.

It's for the best.

Listen, sweetie.

You're going to go with Mr. Andrés to the doctor, okay?

But you'll come back here after.

Sweetie. You will bring her back, right?

Yes, of course.

One, two, three.

Great. I'll take care of her until she's better, okay?

- I'll be right here. - Of course.

Come, sweetie. Let me bless you. Go, sweetie.

She'll be fine.

Thanks, Andrés.

There we go.

Bye, my love.

Relax. Everything will be okay.

You know?

Please. Sign here, dear.

What is this?

Soriano!

Cachete's wound isn't serious.

They slashed her cheek.

They slashed her cheek.

What are you on about, China?

- What happened to you? - What do you mean?

Jeez.

It looks like a blister.

What looks like a blister?

Your face, Galician. You have something on your face.

Like a...

You're kidding me.

Have you eaten something weird?

That bitch!

Where's the yard?

The yard? There.

- On the map. Where is it? - Oh.

How is the map oriented?

- You tell her. - No, you tell her.

- Here maybe? - Yes, maybe.

- Good. Make a mark there. - The bleachers as a point of reference.

- There are the bleachers. - There.

Where's Moranzón's office? Find it.

- Good. - That's a table.

- It's a bird's-eye view. - You'll clean here.

Yes, with this.

With whatever you want. With what? What's that?

"Maintenance..."

Come on. Let's keep going, please.

I'll start here.

Go along here, then here, and come out here.

- Once you-- - Why does she get to move?

- You're the lookout. - You're keeping watch.

You'll let us know if Moranzón is there.

- Draw a little symbol. - By the door?

- Yes, there. - No, there.

- There. - Don't close the door.

I can't go in if you're there. What are you looking for?

- Right-- - I'll look for some papers.

- I already said that. - Okay, got it. We're good.

- Agreed? - Let's do it.

- I'm excited. Let's do this. - Yeah. Let's go for it.

Fist bump. Let's do it.

- How are you? - Good.

- Do you have what I asked for? - Yes.

There it is.

Perfect.

- Is this all the security camera footage? - Yes, everything you requested.

Some video files are missing. From the date of the incident.

Well, if they're not in there, it's because

they weren't requested, weren't found, or not available.

Or maybe they were handed over.

Can you check?

- They were handed over to the parties. - To who?

To Attorney Zárate.

No. That's not good.

Zárate left this case a while ago. I'm the defense attorney.

Okay, I'll take this.

- Do I have to sign anything? - No.

All right. Thanks.

Let's see.

You're hard to get a hold of recently.

Since you started working at the reintegration center.

Thanks for coming.

How can I say no to you?

How are you?

Good.

I can tell. You look good.

You look good too.

- Can I see what you're doing? - Yeah, sure.

- Can I snoop around? - Yeah.

It's a lot.

They told me you're doing an amazing job.

I'm happy to help them out.

Starting anew after release is no small feat.

Now tell me why we came to see this guy.

I'm defending an inmate from La Quebrada.

This guy was her lawyer before me.

I need something for the case, but he won't answer my calls.

I don't know if there's a problem with the evidence, if he's avoiding me,

or if he's just an asshole.

Did something happen?

No.

Something doesn't add up.

- Yes. - Let's go.

No, you know what? Wait for me out here.

I'll let you know if I need you. I don't want him to feel pressured. Okay?

Sure. I'll wait here.

Come in.

- Oh! What a surprise, Lunati. - How are you?

- How can I help you? - I don't need help.

I'm defending Marina Delorsi,

an inmate you were defending this year.

- You dropped the case. - Of course I remember.

A very nice girl.

- Such a shame about her boyfriend. - Yes.

I'm looking for some missing evidence.

And?

It's been a long time. So many cases.

Some footage from the security cameras is missing.

Records say that you have them.

So you were the last person to see them.

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever worked as an official public defender?

Do you have any idea of the bureaucracy involved?

An avalanche of cases, all alike.

- I have no idea what you're talking about. - I'm no fool.

- No, ma'am, please. - I'd rather not tell the judge about this.

And I wouldn't come here asking for anything if it weren't for the fact

that this material could contain valuable evidence.

I'd rather keep any relevant info about the case between us.

- Then I won't have to call you... - Of course.

...and have you testify as a witness.

Is that all?

Idiot.

- Don't make this difficult, Zárate. - No.

A person's freedom is at stake here.

And so is my job. Do you know who you're messing with?

- No. Tell me. - No idea?

- No. - You don't want to know.

- Tell me who. - You don't want to know.

Would you rather testify in court, fatso?

- Listen, bitch. - Let me go.

- You brought a thug? - Why don't you mess with me, asshole?

What's wrong with you?

- What are you doing? - Bitch!

What did you grab, asshole?

Are you okay?

Did he hurt you?

I think he grabbed a flash drive full of evidence.

- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

She's sedated.

You have to wake her up. She has to sign. There's no other way.

There is.

Make her disappear.

Look, Gla.

- Look, with one foot raised. - Like a crossroad juggler.

They're coming. Foot down.

Trash.

What did you say?

I mean the trash I swept.

Yeah, okay. Keep going.

Let's go.

- Come on. - Now?

- Right now. Come on. - Sure.

- There's more here. - Look at this. I might've found something.

- Gladys! - Hush. What?

- All clear. - Don't tell me if all's clear.

Tell me if someone comes. Go!

Maybe there's something here.

- Look what I found. - Check out this folder. Here.

I can't believe it. Hand me the other one.

- Look, the girl. - The baby girl.

- "Brisa--" - The Colombian.

- What are you doing? - I got bored out there!

- I told you to go outside. - Fine.

What are you doing in here?

- We were-- - We're not doing anything bad.

Silence. You can explain yourselves to Daniel.

- Come in, Daniel. - Fucking hell.

Take it.

Please take it.

They're trafficking babies from La Quebrada.

There's an investigation underway.

First, it was Patricia. Remember? The pregnant girl who died. Then Noelia.

Did you ever see their families come to claim the babies? Huh?

Alan!

Alan!

Alan, is there a problem?

Get inside.

- Let me go. - Move it.

Okay. Now I'll take care of you, Doctor.

See? See how pretty you made me look?

Can you see?

Now I'll give you some vitamins.

Huh? Beautiful blonde.

My love.

Which of those two eyes do you want to sacrifice? Huh?

- Which one? - I swear it wasn't my idea.

- It wasn't? - No.

Are you so stupid that they made you do it?

Who made you? Who?

Who? Say who.

Who?

Who?

That's it. Now scream, motherfucker.

Now scream.
