AN ORIGINAL VIX SERIES

Yeah?

What's up, bug?

Your dad?

Shit.

Alright, I'm going there.

Okay.

Bye.

Excuse me, please.

- Sure. - Thank you.

Stop.

So, three boxes of pale ale...

two amber ale

and four dark ale, am I right?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't even come and argue, I don't have time.

I didn't get to work because of you, you know that?

- Because of me? - Yes.

Because of you. Because you do his will.

He's a blackmailer and you spoil him.

What did I do to you?

What did you do to me?

Are you going back to that again?

I already told you that I did not cheated on you.

Why can't you believe me?

I'm trying to fix us!

Fix us? Come on, Raquel.

You spend your time flirting with everyone.

I cannot be at ease!

You have a jealousy problem

and you know it.

I'm not going to stay locked up all day

so as not to cross paths with any man

because you get angry.

I miss you, I want to be with you.

Bug misses you too.

I feel very alone...

I'm afraid to sleep alone.

- Don't you miss me? - No.

Hey, I'm your wife.

Why are you pushing me away, huh?

Look, forget about it.

Also, you know what? I'm...

I'm dating someone else.

- Someone else? - Yes.

We are married, don't you forget it!

Don't forget that I'm already having advice

about the divorce thing.

I already told you, my brother is helping me.

So your brother is the one with the idea.

No, no, no, no, it's my idea.

It's my decision.

And by the way,

I'm going to take Jandro away from you, huh?

I'm going to fight for his custody.

What? What are you taking about?

Yeah, yeah.

That boy needs education, rules.

He needs a new life.

I already spoke with my lawyer.

Let's get this straight,

I'm not going to let you introduce him

to a new bastard every week.

Look, it's one thing that you don't want to be with me

and another that you want to take my son away from me.

And that's not going to happen.

Bug!

Don't worry.

Your dad is stressed.

He wants you to get cool too.

Bug.

Come.

Raquel.

Andrés.

Do you need help?

Hernández Hardware Store.

San José Pharmacy.

Little Tree Dinner.

Why do we take the bus?

Mom!

Why do we take this bus?

At this time the shuttle bus arrives earlier.

Why don't we take it?

I don't know, Bug.

Did you fight with dad again?

No. You know how it is.

You already know I hate shuttle buses

because they are very slow.

Bug.

Come on, sweetie.

Put on your pajamas, Bug. Okay?

Yeah. I'm putting it on right now.

Put on your pajamas, please.

EXPERT ADVICE ON YOUR PROCESS

A WELL-MANAGED DIVORCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

HOW TO GET A QUICK DIVORCE

AFFORDABLE AND SIMPLE DIVORCE PROCESS

The Chiapas Prosecutor's Office reported this morning

that two people were arrested

in connection with the case of Erika's femicide.

This young woman was pregnant

and her body was found in Palenque.

The detainees were...

Bug! Are you ready?

- Mom... - Huh?

I peed.

Again?

What happened?

I don't know, I just peed.

Don't worry about it.

Right now I'll start washing this

and we'll hurry up, okay?

Alright. Give me your pajamas, I'll wash it too.

No, I'll take it off.

Are we already preteens or what?

Go take a bath.

Hurry up.

It's the attorney.

Hello.

Yes, sir.

Right now?

Yes, that's fine.

I'll see you there. Thank you.

No way.

Juan.

Hello, Juan.

Yes.

I want to ask if you could take care of Bug.

Yeah?

Thank you so much. Hey...

I'll bring you the beef in sauce that you like so much.

Thank you so much.

Bye.

Bug...

Bug!

We agreed not to lock the doors.

You're going to stay with Juan for a little while.

What? No!

He always leaves me alone and I don't like it.

Why?

Because it's dangerous.

Dangerous? Why dangerous?

I don't want to.

No, I'm not asking you

and I'm not going to argue with you.

I have things to do and I already spoke with Juan,

and he can take care of you. Please open the door, okay?

What's wrong?

I don't want him to leave me alone.

Can you help me?

It's only two hours.

Do you swear it?

I'll bring you a surprise.

Okay. Go take a bath, hurry up.

Just a moment.

- Hi. - Juan...

Thank you very much for taking care of him.

Behave well, Bug. Don't bother. Alright?

Don't worry. He's a good boy.

- Yeah? - Come in.

- Okay... I'll be back in a bit. - Go carefully.

- Thank you. - Bye.

Bye.

Raquel Espinosa.

Please come in.

Please have a sit.

Thank you.

Let me tell you, based on our conversation,

that the custody procedure...

it isn't easy.

But generally the mother has a strong advantage.

So I think we can build a good case in his favor.

As I told you, you are the mother.

Then we have big chances to win,

because also you have a stable job.

Yes.

Excuse me, sir.

How much is all this going to cost?

Well...

I estimate about...

about twenty thousand pesos.

And... when would I have to pay them?

Well, in order for me to start putting together the record

at the Justice Ministry,

I need full payment.

And your husband has already started the process,

so we're late.

Don't worry, I...

I'm going to get the money and...

I'm afraid because I know he can take away my son from me,

because he has contacts.

I am very afraid of losing my son and...

I don't know if I could regain custody of him.

You got me?

Listen, Raquel.

I'm going to tell you something as friends...

in a trial the attitude is very important,

so you... got to stay positive,

be whole...

and well-groomed.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

Yes, yes. I understand, I understand.

When the judge summons us at the Ministry,

I need you to be emotionally stable.

We're going to win custody of your son, you'll see.

- Hello, Martha. - Hi.

Help me, girl.

What's up, sir? I have other colors...

- Where is the boss? - In a meeting.

You can grab it.

What do you think, buddy?

- I have payment opportunities - Raquel... Come here.

Now check this one. This one works great.

Look.

Go head. You can test it.

- It is nice, right? - Yeah.

You don't like it? I have other options for you.

So you work all day long from home?

- On your PC? - Yes.

All day long, everything online.

That's cool.

Yeah...

- Pros and cons. - Yeah...

Thanks for taking care of him. Really.

I promise to bring you the meat in sauce.

Don't worry.

He didn't bother me, did you Jandro?

Say goodbye.

- He's tired. - No problem.

- Thank you. - Take care.

- Yeah, thanks. - Bye.

Come on. Let's go.

You liked it?

Yeah.

Can I go try it out there?

It's late, Bug, another day.

We'll go out and investigate.

- But it has to be at night. - Naturally.

Want a sandwich?

Yes, crustless and no mayo.

Okay. I'll prepare it right away.

- Mom. - Huh?

Last night I dreamed that we lived on the beach.

And It was just me and you.

We could build a hut.

Wildlife.

Sounds amazing.

What about your dad?

He can live with uncle Andrés.

Don't say that. Your dad loves you very much.

Just like me.

I don't want to go.

I have to go to work, Bug,

and your dad is going to take you to school.

Plus, you have to spend time with him.

But my dad doesn't want to spend time with me.

Don't say that. Of course he wants to.

He's your dad.

Hey! Do you know what they brought to eat?

No.

Damn. Fucking César.

Where is that guy?

- Yeah? - Where are Jandro's books?

Do you know that he doesn't have them?

I am an idiot.

I forgot them.

Forgive me. It's just I'm swamped.

You do know that every thing you do wrong

adds up to not giving you custody, right?

Modesto, why are you treating me like this?

Can you stop attacking me, please?

You wasted the best years of my life.

Look at the family I have. Come on!

Can we talk calmly?

Talk about what?

Did you know that Jandro undercharged a sale?

It's a boy!

He is nine years old!

Give him a calculator and that's it.

That will help. I don't know why you care so much about that.

That's the reason!

That's why I want his custody.

His education is very poor, Raquel.

Stop spoiling him so much.

That's the root of the problem.

I can't believe you want to...

Hello?

Hey, I do not forget that you owe me a debt.

Cut the crap.

Fuck off.

That's key, Raquel.

You can't let him treat you like this.

You're not doing anything wrong.

Look, don't be longer in touch with him.

If that asshole seriously wants to get a divorce,

let your lawyer be the communication channel.

So now I need a lawyer to talk to my husband.

He wants to take Jandro away from me.

No way.

And more to the point,

don't be intimidated, Raquel.

You have to smarten up.

This is not just for you,

but for your child as well.

Raquel, I can't wait any longer for you to pay the rent.

I don't want any misunderstandings.

I'm fed up, Raquel!

Spin!

- Take care. - Hi, sir. How are you doing?

I have dialed many times, but you don't answer.

Why are you fed up, huh?

Mom!

Hi, honey!

Come here. Give me your hand.

How was school today?

Good.

Lots of homework?

No, kinda.

Let's get it on.

Okay.

- Mom. - Huh?

Can we go to the movies?

Mario the movie has already been released.

Please!

Please, please, please, please.

It's okay, but no popcorn.

Okay.

Then Mario arrives

and he sees that there is a...

there's a mushroom that is moving,

then he walks over and boom!

What was your favorite scene?

The whole movie, sweetie.

Don't lie, you fell asleep.

No.

My favorite part is when the monster is angry,

because they stole his star, then he's...

What is this? What happened?

What?

What do you mean what? You have a hit there.

I don't know.

Don't pretend you don't know. You have a hit here.

What happened to you?

I don't know. I don't remember.

How can you not remember that you hit yourself there?

Jandro, are you fighting at school?

How's that? Why you didn't tell me about it?

I have to know who you fought with.

I'll tell you later.

Later?

You have to tell me those things.

Bug!

Hurry up, we can't be late!

- Mom. - Huh?

I don't want to go to school today.

I don't feel well.

No, no way. You have to.

You've been missing a lot of days.

Just today, please.

Please.

Come.

Your dad wants you to go live with him.

I don't want to! I don't want to live with him!

Don't let him take me, please. I don't want to!

It's not going to happen.

I'm doing everything possible to prevent that from happening.

You and I will always be together,

but you have to help me.

You have to get good grades, do your homework.

You can't miss school.

And what will happen if I have to go live with him?

He's going to kill me, mom.

My dad hates me.

What? No. Don't say that.

Your dad doesn't hate you.

Why would you think that?

Wait a moment.

Shit.

Good morning, Mrs. Mari.

Good morning, Raquel.

I need you to pay the rent, right now.

Yes, I know.

It's that I had a problem with Jandro's father,

you know how he is.

Next week I'll give it to you for sure.

You always tell me the same thing.

I need the money.

Give me a chance.

One week, please.

A week. No more.

Yes... thanks.

Come here.

Come here!

Just a little bit of love.

Okay, my Bug?

Yeah?

Everything alright?

Yes.

I had a shitload of things to do, but...

- all good. - Get it done, friend.

I can help you. What do you need?

No, everything is fine.

Hi.

Yes.

What? Pick him up?

What...?

No, I can't.

Can I talk with his teacher?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, sure.

I'm on my way.

See you.

I can't believe it.

I know. I swear to you I'm going to finish.

Where is Raquel going?

She just got a call from her son's school.

But it's okay, we already made a plan

to take out the job on the weekend.

Shit.

Thanks for coming, Raquel.

- Please take a seat. - Yes, thanks.

I called you because Jandro has been having

very strange attitudes.

Is everything okay at home?

Yes, it's all good.

The teachers tell me

that Jandro has always been a very happy boy

and that lately he looks off, dissociative

and involved in aggressive situations.

Aggressive? My Bug?

I don't think so.

I mean, I have issues at home

with my husband.

We are getting divorced.

So I think that's it.

Raquel...

something very delicate happened with Jandro

that's why I requested teachers presence.

Miss Paty and our psychologist, Dr. Caro.

Miss Paty, please tell Mrs. Raquel

what you saw today.

Of course.

Good morning, Mrs. Raquel.

Today in P.E.

I saw Jandro pull down one of his classmates' pants

and... touch his penis.

Mrs. Raquel.

Due to Jandro's behaviors and what we have seen recently

it is very possible that Jandro is being abused.

I can give you supervision of how these issues are dealt with

and what are the steps to follow in these types of situations.

Raquel.

Due to the seriousness of the situation,

we want to assess and examine Jandro.

Is it possible?

I don't want to! Please, I don't want to!

Don't worry, Jandro.

- He's not going to hurt you. - I don't want him to touch me!

I don't want to! Please, mom!

I don't want to!

Get off me!

Mom! Help me!

- Breathe. - I don't want to!

I don't want to! I don't want to!

- Mom! - Calm down, we just...

Mom! Help me, Mom!

Breathe. Look at me.

I don't want! I don't want, please!

Get off me!

Come on. Let's go.

Raquel...

What?

- Let's go! - No!

What's wrong with you, huh?

- Nothing. - Nothing?

Why hadn't you told me?

Why hadn't you told me?

Are you being abused?

Tell me who is abusing you.

Tell me, Jandro! Please tell me!

Let me go!

I'm going!

What's wrong? What?

- It was you, bastard? - What?

I entrusted my son to you and you abused him.

What? What are you taking about?

- You're a fucking pervert! - What are you talking about?

- You abused my son! - No, no!

I have never touched your son!

And if someone is abusing him

it's because you're never at home!

Before making false accusations,

take a good look at who you leave your child with.

- Because it's your fault! - No!

Open the door, asshole!

- Open the door! - Go away!

Or I'm going to tell the landlady, Raquel!

Where are we going?

To an appointment.

- Appointment? - Yeah.

I have to see the lawyer to talk about your dad.

And who are you going to leave me in charge?

I'm not going to leave you in charge of anyone.

You come with me.

I'm not going to take my eyes off you.

Was it because the principal scolded you?

No.

It's because I love you.

I love you a lot.

When you feel ready,

you can tell me whatever you want.

I will be here for you.

Forever.

I love you.

Let's go.

Raquel. Raquel.

Today the administrator is coming to talk to you.

Your husband withdrew the deposit

and we cannot give you any more extension.

I'm very sorry to tell you,

but I warned you in advance!

- So? - I told you four, right?

Now what?

Bug, go over there, I have to talk to your dad.

No, I want to be with you.

I know, me too.

It'll just take a moment, come on.

Come on, boy. Let's go play.

You know that by removing the deposit from the apartment

they can take it away from me!

And that's where I live with your son!

- You are selfish! - It's not my money.

It was from Andrés. Don't you understand?

What kind of father are you?

Like what kind? Someone who cares

about his son, about his discipline.

He's lazy, Raquel.

You spoil him.

Do you realize how much you're hurting him?

Something is happening to your son.

What is happening?

He's just starting to live. He is turning into a teenager.

You love to play the victim.

Why don't you listen to me?

Why?

There's something wrong with Jandro!

Look, I was waiting for the best moment.

But you know what?

Where is the fucking document?

- What document? - The custody document, Raquel.

The judge has already given the resolution.

Here it is.

My lawyer got me this document.

Jandro is going to stay with me until everything is resolved.

It's the best for everyone.

- Get in. Get in! - No!

- It's an order. Get in! - No! No! No!

- No, no, no, no, no! - Mom!

No, no, no! Modesto!

- Don't take my son away from me! - See you in court, Raquel!

No, Modesto, please! Don't take my son away from me!

No, Modesto! Please! I'm begging you!

- Do not touch me! - Mom!

I don't want to see you around here!

- Please, Modesto! - Shut up!

- I beg you please! - Get in the room, get in Jandro!

- Mommy! - Baby! Bug!

Bug! The lawyer will help us.

- We're going to be together. - Relax, Raquel.

- Don't touch me! - Fine. Fine.

I'm going to come for you, Bug, calm down, okay?

I'll get my lawyer!

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no.

What are you doing, Mrs. Mari?

Those are my things. Why are they taking them out?

We are going to put your things in boxes in a warehouse.

And as soon as you pay me the rent,

- it will be returned to you. - No, no, no, no, no!

If you don't pay me in three months,

- I'll throw them away! - No! No, Mrs. Mari!

I'm sorry, but my husband wants to take my son away from me, OK?

And if you do this, I'll loose the custody!

I'm sorry, Raquel. It's my job.

Either you pay me the rent right now

or I'll change the lock.

No, please give me one more week!

One more week! I ask you please!

Please! A week. I won't take any longer.

Hey, hold on, hold on.

- How much does she owe you? - She owes me this month.

And who is going to pay me next month?

I'll pay it. Let her come in.

The boy also lives there. Don't be like that.

Are you're going to pay me right now?

I'll transfer the money right now.

Okay, I'll give you my bank details.

Are you sure you don't want anything to drink?

A cup of tea or water, Raquel?

No, it's okay.

Thank you for helping me with Mrs. Mari.

I... promise you that I will pay you as soon as I can.

I did it because I don't want Jandro to be left homeless.

Forgive me.

I know you must hate me.

And you probably don't even want to see my face.

I don't hate you,

but I'm not a rapist.

I know, I was an idiot.

The important thing is that Jandro is safe.

He's a good boy.

Almost every time he comes, starts drawing

while I work on the computer.

And the other day I was cleaning my apartment and...

I'm Sorry, I...

I found these drawings.

Sorry.

Raquel.

Bug.

Bug.

Mom!

Forgive me.

It's not your fault.

Go home.

- No, mom. - Go, you know how to get there.

Go home!

What are you doing, Raquel?

Give me that.

Andrés!

Don't get involved, bastard.

RACHEL WAS SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON,

MODESTO TAKES JANDRO EVERY WEEK TO SEE HER.
