Original subtitles

I never knew who my father was.

I was raised by my grandma in a small town in Yucatán.

In our culture, we believe that those who are murdered at the hands of others

can't proceed on their journey to the next stage of life

until justice is done.

No. No.

That's not an argument for the police.

And I'm afraid you'll have to forgive me,

but we're talking about the memory of a four-year-old.

There's a witness too.

Someone rescued me and saw who was in the car.

So if the investigation is reopened and this witness can testify,

we might find him.

Mr. Marroquín, there's a reason why my mother guided me to you.

Please help me.

But why now? Why 20 years after the accident?

Because until now,

I didn't have the courage to confront the guilt of the past.

Because remorse is like a monster, a feeling that grows stronger every day

and takes control of everything you have if you don't overcome it.

One night, I had a dream about my mother.

She was crying, asking for help, and she had blood all over her.

Just like the accident.

I have to find the person who did this,

or she will remain trapped and won't be able to rest in peace.

I...

I'll do everything that is possible, but I can't promise anything.

Boss.

Another daughter.

Another one.

Do you think that when,

you know, when people die...

they keep wandering around

if they have unfinished business or something?

I just had to do it.

I didn't have much choice.

It was either that or turn myself in to the police.

You did what you could.

You didn't know there was a girl in the car,

much less that it was your daughter.

First, it was Manny, then there was the nun,

and now her.

The nun is not a menace. Manny's dead and buried, and the other...

I'll get on a plane tomorrow and take care of the witness. Don't worry.

Do you know how many girls I've screwed, man?

Who knows how many of my kids are out there somewhere?

The best moment will be when he speaks to the Senate hearing,

and I have to be in one of the first rows so he sees me.

What do you need?

Ideally, I should get one of those VIP passes like politicians use.

I can always ask doña Julia, but she won't know what they look like.

I have a better idea. I know a direct way to the perfect place.

Manny, forget the sweatshirt and the wig.

You're not supposed to go out unless necessary.

I'm talking about a place where nobody knows I'm dead.

You were right, Inés.

The medical studies, that's excellent news.

And really, all I can be is forever thankful to you

and to this noble institution that has worked so hard caring for my mom.

And I've been meaning

to offer you an apology

for having acted the way I did and said the things I said the other day.

All is forgotten.

It's only natural that you should worry about your mother.

But I committed the sin of pride.

I prayed all weekend.

I begged Almighty God to fill me with resignation

and humility.

May I please see my mom?

Only if you think it prudent, of course.

Hugo, what did they do to her?

I don't know, but they sent her back to where she was before.

I need you to take care of her, Hugo.

I have to give her her meds, but now they give it to her intravenously,

and Inés supervises it personally.

Okay, that's all right. Just do everything Inés says.

But I need you to protect her.

I'm just trying to find a way to get her out of here.

The people who get out of here are either dead or terminally ill.

Like I told the young lady, there's no reason to believe

that the woman didn't die instantaneously.

As the firm's legal investigator,

it's my duty to go over all the evidence again.

There's no mention of a witness?

A man named Yumil.

She says he rescued her after the accident.

You think I could talk to him?

There he is, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.

He says he rescued the girl from the car,

but he also says Speedy Gonzales really exists

and is our current governor.

Mr. Yumil, my name is Víctor. I work for a law firm in Mexico City.

Look.

Nail.

Nail.

Nail. Nail!

Nail.

Nail.

Nail.

Holy cow, Yumil. You're a great actor.

You should be in soap operas.

The old man recognized him immediately, but that's not all.

Rodríguez recorded a video while Víctor was questioning him,

and you can see the photo of Marroquín in it. I'll send it to you.

Thank you so much, Lorenzo.

All I did was talk to my fellow officer.

The one who did the real heavy lifting was you.

Mm-hmm.

Mm. I have to leave. I just wanted to give you the good news.

See you.

Hey, hey, hey.

Look who showed up.

Thanks for letting me come back. Did Attorney Suárez book a slot?

Yeah, he booked two hours.

He still doesn't want cameras.

Yes, I know that, but I really need the dough.

- Okay. Be careful. - Thanks.

I'm on my way out. Do you need anything else?

How has she been since she got back?

She's not well. She's like a vegetable.

Why do you ask?

Dr. Zapata sent his report.

Alice did not respond to the treatment.

She suffers irreversible brain damage.

Unfortunately, she could pass away at any moment.

Señor Suárez, ready to go?

- Thank you, Benny, my friend. - Go ahead.

Why do you look so worried, man?

Your boss is in good hands, relax.

Give me two tequila or mescal?

- Tequila. - Two tequilas.

It's not this bastard I'm worried about.

It's just that he already sniffed up three times.

If I hadn't stopped him, he'd have drunk a whole bottle of whiskey on his own.

I'm more worried about the dancer.

She'll be fine.

Manny knows how to take care of herself. Don't worry.

Did you say Manny?

Yeah, that bitch came back today.

I don't know. It's almost like she came back from the dead, man.

- Suárez. Suárez, Suárez, listen to me! - Shh.

You're gonna give me what you've been keeping from me for months. Come on.

Give it to me.

- Come on. - Listen to me, Suárez.

- Come on. Come on, bitch. - Suárez, listen to me, please. Please!

Give it to me right now.

- Wait, wait! - Hey!

Holy shit!

Are you okay?

Relax, relax. I'm the attorney's driver. Are you okay?

Aren't you supposed to be dead?

I went to your funeral.

I need you to help me.

Help me, Lord!

What am I doing here?

- Where am I? - We're in your room, sir.

Sir?

VIP ACCESS

I'll pick you up tomorrow at 12:00, sir.

Here.

With this, your sister will be able to sit next to Marroquín if she wants.

Don't worry about the attorney Suárez because he probably won't be up till late.

- Okay? - Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Camilo, I'm also worried about Federico.

He's being deceived, but it's for his own good.

I'm gonna ask you one last favor.

Don't tell him anything.

Look, I'm only doing this

because if it's true Federico was about to have sex with his own sister,

then his dad deserves to have his balls cut off.

So where should I take you?

To the Santa María de los Ángeles convent.

What?

Nothing.

Or to your place.

Whoo! Bravo! Great job!

They are amazing!

I saw you making eyes at him. You were trying to turn him on!

Pocho, I didn't even realize he was there until he asked me to take a picture, okay?

You got close so he could touch you, right? Did he feel you up?

- Keep your hands off! - All women are fucking whores!

Tomorrow you'll call Daniel and tell him we won't play on Thursday.

No. We have to play.

- You're gonna meet that guy, right? - Give me a break. Come on.

You know what?

We're not playing in that fucking bar again!

I'll find another place.

You know what?

If you don't wanna go, don't go, but I'm not doing that to Daniel, okay?

You're not going to behave like a whore with me. Got that?

No one messes with me. Not you, not anyone.

Let go of me!

You bitch.

His ex-girlfriend had to get a restraining order

so he wouldn't go near her.

Why didn't you tell me?

The wedding was inevitable.

I thought Pocho would change this time.

Their relationship must end.

I had this terrifying vision of Matilde on her wedding day,

and I don't want it to become a reality.

Come in. Come in.

Please ex... excuse the mess.

So do you want something to drink or...

Uh... Oh.

Manny?

I'm returning the favor.

You didn't do this for nothing.

You're a good guy, and I'm happy to do it.

Uh... Um...

The first time I saw you dancing at the club,

I thought that a woman like you

would never pay attention to a guy like me.

You're one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, Manny.

Hm.

I'll fix us up some dinner.

I'm sorry, the doctor had high hopes that the treatment would work.

Certainly.

Deep down, we knew she would not be with us forever,

but we didn't think it would be so soon.

Could we transfer her to the convent?

It would be very comforting

to keep her company and pray by her side for the time she has left.

I'll talk to the doctor

to see if he considers it prudent to do so.

He's the one who makes all the decisions.

Thank you, Inés.

May God bless you for everything you've done for my mom

and repay you with his grace.

I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY HERE'S MY NUMBER. GOOD LUCK, MANNY!

Given the clinical status of the patient,

I will authorize the transfer.

Pardon me for asking, Doctor, but what happened?

This is so sudden.

Listen, Inés, this just can't come out.

After her episode,

the order came to depress her nervous system

as much as possible, and that's why the dose was very high.

But that can't go in the report. Do you understand?

Absolutely, Doctor.

- Don't worry. - Goodbye.

I've done my part.

I declared she had brain damage

and authorized the patient be transferred to the convent.

And did you notify the foundation?

Uh, I sent a notification to a director who was abroad

because I don't want to raise any alarms prematurely.

Now I want you to do your part and put my protection and my pardon

in writing for giving you this information.

That's what we'll do.

But first, you have to repeat everything you told me when I went to your office.

On video this time.

If there's no recording, the deal's off, and with no deal, you go to jail.

Why the long face? Cheer up.

Twenty years working for the devil.

It's time to switch sides, don't you think?

Don't you get it?

- Víctor is here to pick you up. - Good. Tell him I'm ready.

Everything will be fine, Simón.

You've had this speech ready for a month. You'll be all right.

Yeah.

I'm ready.

Okay, Simón.

That old guy is as mad as a hatter, boss.

No one would be surprised

if suddenly he had a heart attack, a stroke, or something

and died in the middle of the night.

Let me know if that will make you feel better.

Víctor, you've been doing the dirty work and dark deeds for this family for years,

and I've never seen you doubt for even one second.

You manage to sleep?

My job is to protect you, boss. I sleep like a rock.

Honorable senators,

I'm here to talk to you about my professional experience,

but first, I'd like to thank you

for this opportunity to stand before the members of the Senate.

Um, before anything else, I'd like to...

Sorry.

Um, as I was saying,

to begin with, I'd like to talk to you about my experience.

What is your position on abortion?

Valentina de la Paz,

Alternative magazine.

Young lady...

Can you tell us your position on women who are forced to abort their child?

Is it a crime on the woman's part or the man who forces her?

I can find my way out.

What's the matter, Attorney? Don't you have an answer to my question?

Please forgive the interruption, Mr. Marroquín.

Please continue.

Yes.

Um...

Mm.

What was I saying?

Um, yes. So, as a man of law,

I worked in Precinct 23 for 25 years

to learn everything about this profession

and how things work in the legal system.

Later on, as I became more accomplished and especially thanks to the efforts...

Valentina.

...of my father...

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Many guys would like to have the balls that you had today.

Simón was acting weird from the beginning.

His conscience is like a swamp full of leeches.

I could feel it when I was in his office.

When he's finally in prison, we won't toast with beer.

- We'll have champagne. - Ah, hell yeah!

Oh, I almost forgot. Here's the video of Dr. Zapata.

He confessed that he has kept Alice drugged all these years

on the orders of Marroquín so she wouldn't talk.

Thank you.

Actually, we have to toast again.

My mother has already been transferred.

- Really? Congratulations! - Oh, that's great.

Cheers.

Hey!

Well, all right.

I guess that's my cue to leave.

I have to be on my way, too,

before my mom starts calling like a crazy person.

- All right. - You're back at your apartment?

Since I died, Simón hasn't been spying on my mom.

And honestly, I don't think I can stand another Mass, nun.

Well, Detective, I think that you and I should leave too

because Valentina has to get ready for tomorrow.

- Please, guys. - Let's go.

Drive safe.

- See ya. - Goodbye.

No way. She blocked me?

Shit!

Fuck! Damn it!

♪ Took on the world Now we're out for the count... ♪

Ah, I can see.

♪ You go your way ♪

You looked like a rookie, damn it.

Like it was the first time you spoke on a podium.

I couldn't sleep last night. I'm exhausted. It's just...

Just what I wanted to hear.

Mr. Marroquín needs his beauty sleep

in order to speak like his brain's really working.

I'll see if Bernardo can fix this tomorrow.

I'll have to make something up.

I'll say you were sick or something like that, damn it!

Rogelio.

Who was that reporter, and what did she want?

I think she's from a magazine called Alternative.

Just some kid who wanted to go viral or whatever they call it.

Catalina...

take care of your husband.

There's so much riding on his nomination, okay?

Yes.

I know.

Can I get you something before bed, ma'am?

Gracie, no one must know

what was in the letter you got out of the pool the other night.

Especially not señor Simón.

No, I don't know what letter you mean, ma'am.

Whatever it is, be careful, all right?

Señor Simón has been acting a little strange lately.

- See you tomorrow. - Good night.

Good morning, sir. A young lady is waiting for you.

- I can't see anyone today. - It will only take five minutes.

Have the security guard escort her out.

Just let me please explain what happened. It wasn't personal. My mother was...

- I'm not interested in your mother. - You knew her.

Her name was Rosa Martínez.

A man got her pregnant and forced her to abort.

But she managed to escape, and that's why I'm here.

I didn't know until two months ago when she died, sir.

An abortion?

Simón, I'm four months pregnant.

If you don't do it,

you and your family will be finished around here.

Understood?

I have dedicated my life

to fighting abuse against women,

but this time,

my personal feelings got the best of me, which isn't professional on my part.

That's why I came here today to apologize.

And also, if you allow me,

I would like to ask you one thing when you are named attorney general,

and that is to stop the reform of the Victim Protection Act.

Do it for my mom.

She suffered so much at the hands of that man.

You know, she was really very fond of you and your family.

I'm sure that wherever she is, she will appreciate it.

That's all.

Thank you for your time. Goodbye.

Now I think I'm going nuts.

No, you can't be sure she's your daughter. Relax, sir.

Are you crazy or what?

Rosa Martínez. A guy who forced her to abort her child.

And you, bastard.

I bet you knew the girl was alive, right? And you knew about the other!

You're up to your neck in this shit! What do you know?

Tell me!

You're not thinking clearly, sir. I assure you, I took Rosa to Dr. Salgado.

When I returned, she assured me that the procedure had been carried out.

She showed me the medical report.

I showed you the photos, remember?

The lady told her daughter,

and she's lying because she wants to blackmail you.

Leave me alone.

- But, boss... - Get out.

Uh, the offices are upstairs.

There, see? All that.

Someday, maybe we could put a bar or something.

Wow.

Check it out. All state-of-the-art equipment.

Wow, Uncle! I can't believe it!

You better start to believe it, Federico. It's gonna be a great success.

Hey, look. This is Camilo.

I finally get to meet the genius behind the formula.

Nice to meet you. This is impressive.

- So you like it? - It's amazing.

My pleasure, really.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- See you soon. - Goodbye.

Ah! Doña Julia! Ah, help!

- Get ready to play! - Please!

Not you again, you bastard! Leave her alone! I said leave her alone!

I can't believe that guy is here again.

One year ago, he raped the daughter of a friend of mine,

and they put him in jail for just one week. Can you believe that?

Take a deep breath. You're safe now.

Did you lose something?

Get out of here!

I said get out of here.

If Simón sent his top guard to follow you,

he must suspect that we're working together.

Good thing you noticed him, Bautista.

It's only because the rapist showed up.

Otherwise, he would've followed me to your apartment,

and the plan would've failed.

I'm telling you, it's no coincidence.

Right. But now you'll have to report him.

I don't have to worry about him anymore.

I'll explain later.

For now, we shouldn't be seen together for a few days, just in case.

- I'm going to stay with Tomás. - Okay.

But keep in touch, and be careful, please.

We'll talk later. Ciao.

This list contains all the necessary treatments.

Hugo will come every morning to check her vital signs,

to see how the patient regresses.

God will repay you for everything you've done

for our dear Alice, Inés,

with interest.

Hugo.

- Excuse me. - Sister Consuelo.

Thank you for helping us.

Mm. It was my pleasure, Caridad.

I knew it was part of the Creator's plan that I should study nursing for a year

before taking my vows.

She says it's only a matter of time

before Alice eliminates all the drugs that are in her system.

Thanks to Dr. Zapata's report,

we now know what she has and how we can cure her.

You'll see.

Your mother is gonna get better,

and in no time at all, she'll be up and talking.

It'll get better.

Bro, she blocked me on Instagram.

I mean, why would she do that?

I said it would get better.

Sometimes I park my car in front of her house,

and I watch her window.

Dude, come on.

No, there's nothing weird about it.

Then tell me why you do it.

Because I can't get my mind off of her.

Seriously, man. I... I see her everywhere.

I won't be at peace till I know what happened.

Maybe it's better not to know.

I mean it, man. She could have a fatal disease or something.

Or maybe she's getting married. Who knows?

Bro, you better forget that girl.

I'm telling you.

Thanks for being a good friend, bro.

Are you sure the two girls don't know each other?

I'm sure. They live in different parts of the city.

And unless they phoned each other, they have no contact.

Should I keep watching?

No. No, that's enough. And the doctor?

I checked the address you gave me. She's not there.

Looks like she's retired.

Ah. Don't worry about it. See ya.

What?

Excuse me, sir. A Dr. Salgado is looking for you.

She says it's urgent. It's the third time she's called.

I assure you I took Rosa to Dr. Salgado.

Put her through, please.

Hello?

Mr. Marroquín.

This is Dr. Salgado.

I'm the gynecologist you hired to perform...

I know exactly who you are. What do you want?

Look, a woman came looking for me. She's a reporter, and she said

she needed to know the name of the person who paid for Rosa Martínez's operation.

Are you sure she didn't ask who's the idiot you lied to?

That means you know I didn't do...

Yes.

I know I have a daughter somewhere who shouldn't have been born.

I simply forgot to call you to say thank you.

Look, put yourself in my place.

Rosa promised me no one would find out about this.

She could feel the baby.

She could hear the heartbeat.

So what do you want?

More money or else you throw me out to the hounds?

No, no, no. Look, I denied everything she was saying.

I told her she didn't know what she was talking about,

that this must have been another Dr. Salgado.

But if word gets out about this,

I'll lose my license, and I could go to jail.

The only reason I called

is because I need to be sure you'll protect me.

Just like I did back then when I protected you.

Mr. Marroquín, I hope I can trust you.

Thank you, Doctor.

Mm.

You still angry?

No, Pocho, I'm not angry.

I'm worried because we have a lot of bills to pay,

and the rent is due.

I told you I would get another gig. That's what I'm gonna do.

Can I have a kiss?

THE PLAN STILL STANDS.

What's this? Are you going to sing solo?

Yeah. I had a little fight with Pocho and didn't wanna let you down.

You know singing makes me feel better.

Give the list of songs to Claudio so he can put the backup tracks on.

Thank you. I'll go on at 8:00, okay?

He's not well, Víctor.

He canceled four important meetings. He won't eat.

Should I call Ms. Catalina?

You can leave. I'll take care of him.

She will remain trapped without being able to rest in peace.

You put something in my drink that night and raped me.

A man got her pregnant, forced her to abort.

She managed to escape. That's why I'm here.

An abortion? Simón, I'm four months pregnant.

The honorable attorney general was out there screwing his sister-in-law

while his wife was pregnant.

Remorse is like a monster. A feeling that grows...

Boss.

You can go now.

ANONYMOUS - I CAN EXPLAIN ALL THIS BAR FÉNIX TONIGHT. 8:00.

What's that bastard doing here?

He's looking for Matilde.

That's impossible. He doesn't even know she exists.

No, this can't be a coincidence, Claudio. What else could it be?

Bravo!

Bravo!

Tonight is an important night,

especially because it has been 17 years

since I said goodbye to my mother in a small town in Colombia.

So wherever you are now, tonight is dedicated to you.

Dominga Heredia.

I have to go.
