What happened?

Because of my fault.

Your fault? What's your fault?

I think they're gone, mom.

I think that's it, ma. It's over.

It's over. It's over.

-Paloma. -She's in the room.

-Where's Paloma? -She's in my room, ma.

-Relax. I'm fine. -I think it'll be best

that the three of us sleep there tonight.

Alright, easy, ma.

That's why I didn't want to do this.

I know, ma. I apologize, really.

We need to go.

The message is very clear, ma.

COLLISION

Ikal, please, answer me.

I'm outside your house. I've called you a thousand times.

Well, alright, I'm in.

I'm knocking the door, literally.

Ikal, please, answer me, please. Let me explain what happened.

Do you have good news for me?

At this moment we don't have either good or bad news.

The voting is two hours late.

Classic. Sweet, beloved Mexico.

Did you talk to Margarito?

No, not as much as I would've liked.

Well, I'll call you later, okay?

Don't call me if it's not to tell me what I wanna hear.

Okay.

I'll catch you.

Since you didn't take my calls, I came to wish you luck, Senator.

You shouldn't have bothered.

No, is no bother.

I wasn't gonna leave you alone in such important day as this one.

And I imagine you always thank all the support that's possible.

Am I right?

We're still waiting for one vote.

Those things happen.

Such as also happens

that dreams of greatness can suddenly vanish.

Plane flights ledgers.

CCTV footage of all your family enjoying the group's hotel in Miami.

Imagine if that information got to the hands of the press.

It'd be the end for you.

Yeah, but that crap would splash on you too, right?

Superficially, Margarito.

Remember, we have the control of the press.

I still trust this works out on our favor.

It's just that, this time, we will need much stronger support.

And I need your authorization.

How much are we talking about?

I wouldn't ask you for this if it wasn't absolutely necessary,

but given the urgency of the circumstances.

I understand perfectly.

In Robles and Associates we've always supported

those who work for the growth of the country.

Ikal. Ikal, I've called you a thousand times.

I'm sorry to leave all these messages, really.

I just wanna talk to you. If you're at ho...

Zoé.

Come on in.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

I let you in because it's dangerous outside.

As you can see, some guys came last night

and shot against the house.

So, it's not very safe that you're here, let's say.

I'm sorry, I just want a chance to...

That you give me chance to fix all this.

I don't know how everything went wrong. I swear I know what I saw.

Everything was fine. Your mom's face was blurred.

I don't understand how it all went wrong. Really, I just...

I'm in shock.

-You're in shock. -Yes.

We're scared to death,

that's what happens, there's a big difference, right?

But...

Hey, don't think we'll pretend and act like fools.

We're

-No, that... -Do you know why?

Because we do keep our word.

Ikal, let me, please, do anything I can

-to help, please. -Alright... Zoé, there's nothing to do.

You already did enough, believe me.

-But... -What are you doing here?

Zoé is leaving, ma.

Mrs. Sugey, I came to tell you

to please forgive me, that...

that I'm here to try to mend the mistake I made, please.

I wanna hear how you're gonna mend

a business of years of busting our backs.

How are you gonna calm a girl who was all night crying scared.

-Alright, ma. -I can't fix that, I'm sorry.

But I can buy you another house, a better one, some other place.

Better?

There's nothing better than having a house

earned with your own sweat.

-And not taking favors -Alright.

from lying rich people who take advantage from others' needs!

That's not what I meant, Sugey. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Child.

Ikal, I can't fit any more of my paints.

I know. I think you'll have to leave some,

we'll come back for the rest later, alright?

Could you help me, please?

Not now, sis.

I need to walk Zoé outside, alright?

-Not now. -I'll help you.

I'm sorry. Really.

We don't forgive you.

I don't understand how we got here, really.

I don't understand it, either, Zoé, honestly.

I thought you were different.

What can I say?

I mean it.

This wasn't my fault.

-Well, what do you want me to tell you? -That you believe me.

It's better you go now, it's not safe right now.

Please.

Alright.

GLOBAL MEXICO NEWS

In a very narrow voting, Congress has voted against

the bill that intended to temporally freeze

environmental permits...

Diana, get me with the Native Issues Commission

in the Senate, please, yes?

Alright.

and extraction of mineral resources.

Resources that will contribute to the nation's economic development,

but that would be detrimental for the environment.

Dani.

Can I talk to you?

Sure. How are you?

You told me that...

that my dad's thing might have not been an accident

and now my interview is sabotaged.

-Zoé. -I just swear that I feel

death is...

chasing me. I mean.

No, no, no. Don't say that. That's not true.

They shot them. And there was a girl there.

Alright, sit down, please.

Look.

Our job has many faces.

Sometimes, everything goes well and we go back home to sleep.

And other times, such as this one, you get in those issues

and everything turns out way more complicated.

Daniel, I have the call with the commission.

No, no, no. Not now, please, Diana.

Schedule it for later. Thanks.

Look.

Once I went to interview the boss of a powerful criminal gang.

And after it aired, I was threatened.

Obviously, it was the rival gang's leader.

And I had to go talk to him in jail.

And what happened?

I had to.

I had to tell him I was just doing my job.

I offered to interview him there, in jail.

Of course, I told him I was gonna ask him everything.

And he said yes, he agreed to the interview.

Fortunately, he never called again and I never looked for him.

And here I am.

What I mean is that in the profession of journalism,

all we have for sure is our word.

But I tried to help them, to reach,

reach the family and they rejected me.

Maybe you still have a way to help them.

But I don't even know how. So, really.

You don't understand. The don't even wanna see me.

I have a friend in the police, she's an inspector.

The honest kind.

Call him and tell her I sent you. Marina Valdez is the name.

-I'll send it to you. -Please.

Thanks.

And? Don't kill me of a heart attack.

Speak, damn it!

We won. We won, honey!

Really? So, the project sank.

-The project sank. -Are you sure?

Sure. As sure as Litiotech will start operating right now!

-Now! Today, baby! -Now.

I love you. I love you.

-I love you. -No. I'll tell Marc.

Call Marc and tell him we're extracting

every ounce of lithium from that land right now.

Marc, we got you excellent news.

Andy, the editor just confirmed it.

The order came directly from you. Are you gonna deny it?

Are you gonna believe more on a small-time editor than me.

Why are you lying, Andy?

Everything was fine. The report was fine.

The effect was working.

We had the permits, I mean...

Alright, it's not the first time

something like this happens in the television unit.

Lawyers always take care of it.

Talk to the news, it's happened to them a thousand times.

I just don't think somebody like Daniel goes through this all the time.

-I mean... -Please.

I'm just saying Robles and Associates has how to respond to a lawsuit.

It's not a matter of lawyers, Andy.

This has to do with the safety of a family.

And also, it's my work ethic.

I gave them my word. What's your problem?

You're putting at risk the whole image of Focal Point.

Is that what you want? And you can't even admit it.

What are you gonna do? Are you gonna fire me?

Matías, you can't fire me.

I need this job. My family depends on me.

And you didn't think about that before what you did with Sugey?

I mean, she's just like that right now. She can't step a foot on the street.

I'm sorry, Andy.

I'll call HR and request for your dismissal.

Okay.

Okay.

I admit it.

I told the editor to remove the effect.

I knew it.

I did it under the President's order.

My mom?

Wonderful news! Let's go! I'm gobsmacked!

Too bad you're not in Mexico City,

we would invite you to celebrate.

If it were for me, I'd take a flight right now.

But I need to finish some business here.

Why in the hell do you insist on screwing my life? Really.

Marc, I'll call you later.

-Leave me with my daughter, please. -Of course, excuse me.

Now what happened?

You told Andy to change my chronicle yesterday.

No, ma'am.

All I did was ask Andy to pay less attention to you.

To not treat you like the daughter

-of the company owner. -Of course.

Is something wrong with that?

You already knew this was gonna happen

and that's why you stood me up last night.

Please, Zoé, don't think so highly of you.

I went out with Iveth because I owed her a dinner and, well, yes,

I cared more about my friend than your show.

That's crystal clear now.

Well, anyway, I think your reaction is a tad exaggerated.

Because this morning I got the numbers and...

The show is a total success..

-So what? -Well, you should be thanking me.

I'm helping you to make your name shine.

Don't you understand that a person could've died because of my fault?

I understood that very well ten years ago.

But, well, if you feel so guilty, quit.

That's what you want, don't you?

That I leave the company. Since I got here, that's what you want.

Yes.

I told Miguel Ángel to take you far from Mexico.

You made my dad...

abandon me in London?

Why would you do something like that?

For your own good.

The both of us.

And because I couldn't stand looking at you.

As I can't stand looking at you now.

Because I couldn't stand looking at you.

I can't stand looking at you now.

Far from Mexico.

Why do you hate me so much? Really.

What we needed.

Juan, come to my office.

Help me with Zoé here, please.

Yes, sure. What happened?

Zoé, what's going on? Zoé, what's going on?

Alright, breathe. Zoé.

Drink water. Drink water. Breathe.

Zoé, drink water. What's wrong with you?

Breathe. Breathe. Calm down.

What happened, Luis Jorge?

You're not hiding from us, are you?

Give me two coffees... No.

Just one coffee and water, please.

Caffeine is bad for the baby, boss.

Gee. It looks like you're following me.

Could it be the other way around?

It's weird we keep bumping into each other, right?

First at the hangar, then in San Miguel.

Coincidences. Sure. Coincidence.

Don't be stupid.

-What are you looking for? -You're getting

confidential information about the Robles case, right?

You're not thinking I had anything to do with the mechanic's death, are you?

Who the hell is giving you information, moron? Speak.

What are you looking for?

It's nice you're making a kindergarten inside the force.

Kids are fine, they have a lot of energy, a lot of will.

But you have to educate them.

Well, that you're so educated

didn't help you ending the right way inside the police.

Luis Jorge, what are you up to?

PI.

I was hired in case the police can't solve it,

that I could help to figure it out.

Or rather, complicate it further.

Who hired you?

Gee.

I can't give you that information, Marina.

You do know I can get it out of you, do you?

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. You need to open a file,

bring a warrant from the judge, an order,

and I'll gladly tell you everything you need.

But you know that's gonna take you about a month.

I don't know if you have the time.

Eddie, put the kid's coffee in my tab. Please.

Here, son.

Damned geezer. I hate him.

Don't worry, Camacho. We'll find out who hired him.

If you're not eating that, I will.

Go ahead.

Zoé, you don't need to explain anything to me, okay?

I know you're struggling with some health issues,

but believe me, Zoé, I understand you perfectly.

I sometimes feel like a fish out of the water, too and it's horrible.

And I'm really sorry about the show,

but I think the interview was very good.

-It was good. -You saw it?

Yes, your mom and I were...

You were with my mom?

Yes.

We were working overtime.

It was a voting for a new law initiative.

You know, a lot of work.

-I'll help you. -No.

I'm fine. I can.

Yes, don't worry, dad. We'll be very careful.

Ikal is aware.

Yes.

God bless you. Go on, yes.

Bye.

I needed to freshen up, you know?

Hey, I heard you talking over the phone.

-Yes. -What happened?

My dad will have us in Sonora.

We'll be a little cramped up, but...

-Right. In Sonora. -he's very happy to see us.

Hey, ma, and what's gonna happen with Paloma's school?

Well, we'll have to take her out and then we'll see what we do.

Right.

I think I won't be able to come, really.

-Why not? -I don't know, mom.

I feel like I already lost many years of my life and...

I don't want to just leave again.

Besides, the police told me that if I go far,

it'll look a bit suspicious.

If not too suspicious, really.

Then, what do we do?

Well, I don't know, find another house somewhere else in the city, not here.

And they won't find us somewhere else in the city.

I won't live with fear and I won't put Paloma at risk.

So, do what you have to do, because you got us in this beef.

This is the one I bought in the cute guy's store,

that swarthy guy I told you about, remember?

Ladies, I brought you something to cheer this up, because it's dead.

I'm in. I'm in.

Matías, I don't drink alcohol. What are you doing?

I know. I brought you sparkling water. What a mood.

Well, it's fine. Alright.

Let's calm down, let's relax.

Let's get distracted. Alright? Let's calm down.

I'm sorry. You're right.

It's not the sparkling water. Really, I'm in the worst mood.

I argued a lot with my mom. I think I'll better go.

-No, girl, why are you leaving? -Zoé.

To be with your mom, to be with her dog?

No. What a bummer.

So, why are you leaving if she's gonna be there?

You're gonna fight with her. It makes no sense.

It doesn't matter, it's fine. Really.

Even if I'm there, she won't talk to me. I'm alone, it's the same.

-No, no, girl. -No, seriously.

-No, I'll drive you. -No, no, no, it's fine.

The driver is out here. It's fine.

Another driver? Yes, a new guy.

-Thanks. -Zoé. Come, Zoé. Come.

Are you okay?

I don't like to see her that bad.

Really, I fear she could want to go back to London.

No, no, don't say that. Really.

Beefs with Belén are hard.

Since you're close to her, you should, I don't know,

plan something so she stays, help her to stay.

Man, she's this close to leave.

Really.

If you keep looking at me, you'll crash.

I don't care. I just...

can't stop looking at you. That's it.

Me neither.

Excuse me, miss?

No, I don't know what...

I don't know what I'm doing tonight, either.

I was... I'll let you know.

-I was sending an audio. -Okay. It's alright.

NATIONAL POLICE

And so you see I don't plan on running away,

I came to tell you how the situation is

and also to ask for your permission.

And why Sonora?

Because my grandpa lives there.

I don't know, I don't know.

I think it's weird that just when we're

investigating a homicide in the Robles case

you came to ask for permission to go to another state.

Homicide?

Why the sudden trip?

Personal issues.

Household problems aren't reason enough

for us to give you permission, we all have our deals.

Serious personal issues.

I'm sorry, Mr. González, but until we clear the facts,

we can't let you leave the city.

Tell us what you were doing on Thursday, May 13th in the afternoon.

Why?

Please, answer the question.

If I'm not mistaken, that afternoon I was with Zoé Robles.

I remember we went to the park and...

-And what? What? -And...

And yes, I remember I gave her a lavender plant.

Good morning. Yes.

I'm looking for the officer Marina Valdez.

Zoé Robles. Daniel Campos gave me the number.

Sure, don't worry. I'll call back. Thanks. Bye.

-I didn't know there was a meeting. -No.

No, no, no, we're done, right?

-Well, as we agreed on. -Alright, we're settled.

-Why didn't you tell me? -No. Matías.

-He didn't tell me. -No, no, no.

That wasn't Andy, it was my decision.

No. Zoé, don't give me that look.

I saw you were pretty bad yesterday and I wanted you to rest.

But I didn't want to rest, you can't make those decisions for me.

Yes, I knew you were gonna say that and that's why I did it.

Well, and now all these people think

that I disappear at the first problem.

-Of course they won't. -Of course they will.

They don't think that. Zoé, look at me.

Please, don't worry. I'll take care of it.

And about Andy, even less.

-His days are counted, okay? -Okay.

Marc, could you show Belén the land, please?

That's the place of extraction?

Yes. It doesn't seem like it, but I'm standing

over millions of tons of lithium carbonate

It looks like any other desert for me.

Well, it's clayey soil, really. It looks pretty good to me.

That's right, mining lithium in the soil it's a little more expensive,

because it requires more prospecting and drilling the rock,

but it's top quality lithium, Belén.

And with the reserves in the area we can walk in the market

to compete against the big Australian and Chilean producers.

Well, that'll be until we effectively have the mineral on our hands.

And I understand it's a quite slow process.

That's what Marc is for.

They have the experience and it's the perfect alliance.

-Well, even so, I'd like... -It's 21st century gold.

-Car batteries, cell phone... -Hey, Juan.

Don't interrupt me again.

I want to visit the lot.

Would it be prudent, after the recent voting?

Schedule a visit, then,

because I wanna see the place with my own eyes.

I think it's perfect.

I'll organize everything so that when you come,

you'll have an unforgettable visit.

-Alright. Thanks. -Thanks, Marc.

Thanks.

Are you going out? There was nothing for today, was it?

Laura asked me to do some shots for a special program.

About what?

No. No idea. Ask her. I'll see you later, Zoé.

Lau.

Lau.

I just bumped into Albertina,

she's going to make some shots for a special program.

Do you know what about?

Yes, yes, we're making a reel for Focal Point.

A reel.

Well, okay. Why don't I give you a hand?

I have to go to the Editing room...

No, no. I changed your schedule.

I'm taking your shift now and I'll give you yours later.

Why would you do something like that?

I'm sorry, I can't explain now. Director's orders.

Relax. It's okay.

If you want to understand, come around 7:00. At 7:00.

Okay.

Inspector Valdez, hi.

Zoé Robles. Yes.

No, I wanted to see if we could meet and talk.

I'm sure I'm getting fired, Bárbara.

No, you're not sure. Don't skip ahead.

Look, Matías didn't say quite like it,

but I'm sure it's his next step.

Well, it'd be so unfair.

You should use that the show

is going up and make them value you.

Bárbara, the show is going up thanks to Zoé.

Her shows are the ones with the most audience.

No. Excuse me, but no. What Zoé has is a last name, alright?

The ones keeping this up are you and I.

You've been doing it for years.

You should go to Presidency.

And Matías and his circus, what a bummer.

-Horrible. -Yes.

On top of him firing me, I have to play along

and I can't refuse because he's the boss.

Do you know what annoys me? The rest.

Like, "Mati, yes, anything you want. Yes, we'll help you."

Long live hypocrisy.

Long live hypocrisy.

NATIONAL POLICE

Do you have the name of the guy on the bike?

I don't know if it's his real name, but Sugey thought it was Paco Monroy.

Alright. We'll see what we can do for them.

But for now, I need to find out

if this Paco Monroy guy has a criminal record.

Well, thanks so much, really. It's super important to me.

I mean, if possible, I'd love to know if they move out the city, house or...

-If you knew anything, of course. -Of course.

They're thinking on moving to Sonora, but no...

What, you already know them?

I'm sorry, miss, we should've started with that.

We are taking care

of all the intel about the accident in which your father died.

That's why Daniel recommended you, I see.

And you know what happened?

So far, we're still piecing things together.

I'm sorry. I have so many questions.

Is Ikal involved? The pilot, do we know anything?

I mean, I'm sorry, I just wanna know one thing and...

I need to know if it was an attack or an accident. I don't know if...

Miss, when we have answers, we'll come to you.

First of all, I want to thank you very much

for being here and supporting us in all of this.

Your mom didn't let us talk to you.

Right.

Well, alright I'm here, aren't I?

So, count with me for anything.

Anything I can help with, of course you can count

with my complete disposition.

I mean, in the end, I was the last one to talk to my dad, so...

Why don't you start by telling us

what you were doing the afternoon of Thursday, May the 13th?

It's important you answer us, please.

Yes.

Alright. I was with Ikal.

That day I had a blood pressure related problem and he helped me.

I was with him, yes.

-Do you mind if we record you? -No, please, go ahead.

Talk to Juan to coordinate everything about Sonora.

I don't want any setbacks.

Hey, one question.

Do you need me to come to Sonora, too?

The question would be, why would you come?

It's just that I'm celebrating...

No, never mind. Excuse me.

Mrs. Belén, I wanted to talk to you,

but your secretary told me you weren't available.

I just wanted to tell you I did what you asked me

and now I have a serious problem with Matías.

I wanted to see if you could help me.

Ikal González is ruled out

as a suspect for the mechanic homicide case.

And Luis Jorge was hired by Juan Blanco.

-But to help Zoé. -Allegedly.

But we're gonna help her as well.

Did you find anything on the loan shark?

That Paco is a piece of work, boss.

He has records for scan, problems at the Portales market,

verbal abuses, domestic violence.

Well, even armed robbery.

That family is in trouble with this guy,

he's a Pandora's box.

I have an idea.

Let's pay a visit, Camacho. Come.

I love your ideas, boss.

SUSPECT

-What? -You know what happens

when you tickle me like that.

Of course I know.

Our anniversary is near. What do you say?

I'm planning the best night of your life.

-Yeah? -I'm gonna surprise you.

Are you?

I'm... give me...

Hi, Belén.

Yes, yes, yes, everyone's going, except Gabriel.

He told me he's staying home because of health issues. You know.

Yes, yes. I'll take care of it.

Alright. Good night.

Really?

Your boss calls you this late to make you work

and you pick up?

Honey, she's just so stressed out about the visit to the mine.

She wants everything to be perfect.

Don't get mad, please. Honey, come on.

Come on. Don't be upset. Come on, alright?

Fine. Just if you tickle me again.

Well, I think it's a good deal. Look, look.

Let's star over here.

Alright, fine. I forgive you.

Ready, ready. She's coming. She's coming.

-She's coming. Let's go. Andy. -I'm leaving.

Relax.

What's going on?

Albertina, what's up?

-What? -Zoé!

Our star for the day.

Welcome.

Everything she touches turns to gold.

Like Focal Point.

Sit down.

All this is for you.

Better not.

I'll go open. I'll go see who it is.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -No.

No, it'll be fine, sis. Nothing's gonna happen.

Go to the bedroom. No, no.

Mom, go to the room, alright? Nothing's gonna happen, sis.

Who?

I'm the inspector Marina Valdez. I need to talk.

Come on in.

-Thanks. Excuse me. -Come on in.

Excuse us.

Zoé, despite the time and distance,

you've always been and will be the woman of my life.

I love you and I'll always love you.

Zoé.

Will you marry me?
