Original subtitles

Are you sure it's here?

It's here.

Has to be them.

Yeah, Dad?

Let Cadenas go.

No.

Gotta make sure you're released.

Let him go.

And keep your distance.

That's an order.

Listen to him.

Jarrah, listen to him.

Copy that, Commander.

Get out

This

isn't

the end motherfucker at least we agree on that detective

Oh, and by the way, you should both be proud of your father guys like him give

people in the world. Hope Get out of here

You

ready

to grab him and get to the car

Jera? Daddy?

Hey, Dad!

I'm coming!

Dad!

Oh, my God!

Daddy!

Are you okay? Dad, what's wrong?

Jera, he was injected.

Get an ambulance, now!

an ambulance dad he's not breathing he's not breathing dad dad come on

You won't tell me who I want to be with

I'm

not yours I won't change for you or anyone else I'm not

yours

Just go without me.

Val? Listen to me.

Cabina needs us now.

So we have to go.

Aldo Herrera was born in 1900 in Tezuitlan, Puebla.

At the age of 14, he joined the Constitutional Forces, along with

several other boys, including...

one Manuel Avila Camacho.

Years later, he decided to serve this city from a different front

as part of the esteemed Federal District Police.

Last night, his family lost a patriarch.

This country lost a patriot.

And I, I have lost a very dear friend.

So rest in peace commander Aldo Herrera

I'm sorry that everything turned out this way.

I'm sorry too.

I don't even know why I don't... I don't want to feel this way.

Please forgive me.

No need to apologize.

Sadness is one of the most common emotions to feel during the grieving

process.

I'm sorry I didn't defend you.

Forgive me for yelling at you that day. I don't know what happened to me.

Why? Why can't I be normal?

My dad just died, and instead of feeling sad, I feel like I'm relieved.

What kind of son feels this way when his father passes?

If you want, I can give you a hug.

It could be helpful.

I miss you.

Yes, I miss you too.

I'm so sorry. Thanks, sir.

Let's offer our condolences to Gabina.

I can't. You go.

Val, what don't you get about the part where Gabina put a gun to my head?

Just know that we're all here for you, Gabina.

And your family.

I hope you know that now and always.

Whatever you need.

Do you remember what you said when you brought me to my first protest?

That we marched to remind those in power we're still awake.

The executioner killed them, right?

Why do you say that?

There must be a confession.

If the police hide it, the truth will never come out.

We need you to find that confession.

And what will that accomplish, Lucas?

They have to pay for what they did to the country. For what they did to the

country? Or for what they did to you?

You're not sleeping at all, are you?

And you wake up sweating, unable to catch your breath?

As if a large weight were pressing on your stomach?

That feeling won't ever stop unless you get help.

It will only stop if you find that confession.

Cadenas got away.

Herrera is dead.

Please tell me you at least destroyed his confession.

Well, we can't be certain there even was a confession.

No,

but if we were able to find a confession, they couldn't even broadcast

it because we control the media.

What do you think?

I think that the police can't handle this on their own.

Emilio, this is Cobra.

Just... that's it?

Cobra? Yes.

Just Cobra.

Cobra deals with sensitive issues.

He and his team will be operating from the police station until we can find

Cadenas. You'll do whatever is necessary to allow them to do their job.

Perfect. Nothing more to say.

With the many casualties we've had the help of a trusted agent is certainly

welcome right get out now

Thank

you

How's mom doing she's bad

I should be in there with you right now.

No, Gabino.

If I told them you had nothing to do with it, it's because you don't deserve

to be here.

I'm the one who got Goyo out.

I knew what I was getting myself into.

And I have to deal with the consequences.

There's no other way.

You have to catch that motherfucker, Gabino.

Not for Lozano.

Not for our father.

Because it's the right thing to do.

We're going to catch him.

Gabina?

Sorry.

This is for you.

Who sent this?

I don't know.

They just told me to deliver it right away.

Gabina, why are you here?

Wouldn't you rather be with your mom?

This was sent to me.

It's the confession.

Why would he send you that?

Because he's trying to test her. He's trying to test all four of us. He's

trying to see if we're corrupt.

We have to give this to Lucas. He'll know how to make sure that this

information gets out. And collaborate with Goyo?

Releasing evidence to the public is against the law.

We could go to jail.

Yeah, so what?

Our protocol obligates us to turn it over to our superiors or directly to the

prosecutor's office. To our superiors? Do you know what they'll do with it?

They'll just burn it.

Maria, we have a responsibility to reveal the truth. Gabina, what do you

think?

Maybe the tape doesn't have anything on it.

Maybe Goyo's playing another game.

That's a good point.

We can ask Chela to get us a projector, and if there's nothing on the tape,

there's nothing we can do.

And what if it's the confession?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Gabina, maybe it's not only up to you to decide. Valentina. I mean it.

Valentina is right.

Gabina's judgment is compromised by her emotional proximity to the case. All

right, enough.

Let's have Gabina watch the tape and then we'll decide.

Together. All right?

Women in blue.

Escobedo wants to talk with everyone upstairs.

I'd like to introduce...

Commander Cobra from the Department of Federal Security.

By direct order of the President of the Republic, the leader of the

investigation will be Commander Cobra. From now on, you'll be taking orders

from him.

Commander?

Officers, good morning.

We are here to restore order.

And to get this asshole before he can harm another police officer.

So what I want is everyone at their stations.

I'll be coming to talk to each one of you to grasp what you do and understand

how you're useful to me.

And there's one thing that I want to make very clear.

No one will move without my authorization.

No one.

That's it You heard him get to work

come on this isn't a picnic come on ladies Let us do anything to the

basement right now Come on

We

need to hide everything the boards case files archives everything related to the

executioner Goyo, Erasmendi, everything we've been investigating.

If they see all this, they'll seize it and stop our investigation.

Okay.

So the famous women in blue all work here.

Yes, sir.

Nice to meet you. I'm Lieutenant De La Torre. This is Officers Camacho,

Herrera, and Cruz.

Pleasure.

Herrera. Sir.

Very sorry about your father.

He was a great man.

And a fine soldier.

Thank you, sir.

What is it that you do here?

Well, when we're not in the park guiding all the tourists... Thank you, miss. I

was asking her.

When we're not doing that kind of thing, we file.

Old cases, crime reports, witness statements.

We dust off files that are long forgotten.

We organize them.

We participate in events with the First Lady, commercials, and media events,

too.

And if an officer ever happens to need anything, we personally facilitate the

process. We also have radios.

And coin purses, in case there's an emergency. But above all else, we're all

here to serve you.

Anything else?

We prepare excellent coffee.

Make sure that there's always a pot of hot coffee. Sure.

Now that we can fly under his radar, we need to figure out how to find Goyo.

And Makaria.

Take a close look at that.

And if you need anything, you can find me in my office.

I'll be using your office, and I'll also use Commander Herrera's office.

I understand that you need privacy in order to work, correct?

I have absolutely no problem with sharing my office with you. I do have a

problem with that.

You may take a seat right over there.

I hear it belonged to Detective Lozano.

Gentlemen.

If Macaria reached out to Gerardo to release Goyo...

It's because she knew your father's precise whereabouts beforehand.

That's it.

So then she must be his accomplice.

That's a possibility.

Yes, it's a possibility, but Goyo could have told her everything he was planning

and still kept her under threat.

It's possible.

We have to create her psychological profile.

Be very, very careful. It's hot. You don't want to burn your mouth. Thank

you.

We need to keep up appearances so we don't raise any suspicions.

First, we need to check administrative gaps in any criminal background she

might have.

Nothing, Gabina.

That woman hasn't even killed a fly. With the notary and the treasury

department, we can find loans, debts, and mortgages.

Mrs. Cadenas inherited the home she lives in 31 years ago, along with a

significant sum of money, and she also inherited a factory as well.

There's not enough public information for us to create a psychological

profile.

Public.

Although... What if we had private information?

This is what they seized from Macaria's house.

She said that they had written hundreds and hundreds of letters while Gregorio

was behind bars.

Macaria started writing to Goyo back in 1940.

Coinciding with the death of her parents.

Mr. Cadenas.

I saw your picture in the newspaper today. The Strangler, that's what they

called you. They say you killed four women.

I don't think it's true what they're saying.

January 15th, 1943.

Although the entire country has turned its back, I'm here right now praying for

your soul.

My precious husband, I curse the police who are keeping you apart from me. I

can't stop thinking about what might have been if they hadn't caught you.

March 1964.

Those women deserved what you did to them.

You would be free if I helped you do it.

What would they say about me if they heard this?

Instead of being death's victim. She doesn't just know what her husband did.

She's behind it.

And that implies she's been playing with us from the very beginning.

She acted like Goyo abandoned her.

Then set up the meeting in Chapultepec.

Even the arrest.

Everything was planned out.

But why?

Just to prove to the police that they're the ones in control.

This arrogance indicates they have no intention of stopping. They're searching

for their next victim, if they haven't found one already.

Kabina? Hmm?

Hmm. Have you seen the tape?

No.

I can watch it with you if you want.

I'd rather watch it alone.

When?

I don't know, Valentina.

I just need time.

Yeah, I know.

I just think it's better if you get it done sooner than later.

Better for who?

For the police.

and the people who suffered because of him, and for you.

You have to face the truth.

Don't be a hypocrite.

What are you trying to say? I feel like you know exactly what I'm saying.

It's really easy to judge others from the outside when you're the first person

to run from everything.

You know I'm trying to work on that. I'm even talking to someone who should be

able to help. Who do you think you're fooling?

I see you every day and I can tell exactly what you're doing to fix your

issues.

Nothing!

I don't know you.

You don't even know yourself, Val. You pointed a gun at me, Gabina. He's my

father, Valentina!

My father!

And I already know he murdered people. I know that.

So why do you want me to watch the tape?

I know you don't understand.

But that wasn't all my father was, Valentina.

I know that wasn't all he was.

Hello? So what are you planning to do with the gift I sent?

Mr. Cadenas.

I asked you a question. What are you planning to do with the gift I sent?

Tell me.

It's not my call.

What then?

Are you going to destroy the tape, Maria?

That's exactly what they would do.

You shouldn't believe that you're any better.

But not worse either.

Not worse.

Are you seriously trying to convince me that the world would be a better place

if those four cops were still alive?

We've now got until 10 p.m. to decide what to do with the tape.

Or what?

Maria?

Or he'll be coming for one of us.

Where got him?

How have you been?

Any news to report?

That asshole spent 34 whole years locked up in jail. How do you find someone like

that? So what, he's like a ghost?

Yeah, nothing.

He has no family, he's got no friends either, and no vices. Not even one place

that he frequents. He has nothing.

By the way, that's too bad about Filiberto Guerra, eh?

What do you mean, too bad?

Yeah. He was a fucking psychopath.

No.

You're wrong about that.

I've known plenty of cops who were completely insane.

Filiberto wasn't actually crazy at all. He had a very cold mind.

He was a good soldier.

Were you aware he left his son?

Martin Guerra.

He was locked up two years ago for robbing a pharmacy.

The manager tried to stop him, and the kid shot him.

He was sentenced to 30 years. And guess where that was?

In Leconberry?

Exactly.

Martin. Like whom, Barry?

Filiberto's diary.

Every two weeks, Filiberto had a scheduled visit with an inmate named

Martin.

And the last meeting was the day before he died.

Do you feel like there's a connection between Goyo and Filiberto's son? It's

possible. We have to speak to him.

They're keeping a very close eye on us.

I just assigned you to a shift in the park, so you guys really shouldn't be

here. I'm staying.

I want to review all of the existing evidence again.

I'll stay with Angelus.

I'll go with Maria.

What exactly are we doing?

The human brain doesn't process everything it sees.

It concentrates on things associated with what it's seeking.

Like a filter.

So unless you're looking for something specific, the truth could be staring

right at you.

And you wouldn't even perceive it at all. To the mind, it's as though it's

invisible. So how do you get the mind to see something if it's invisible?

You just have to change the search parameter.

And suddenly what never existed before... Appears.

The eyes can only see what the mind is truly ready to understand.

Gabina, I found something strange.

Maybe it's nothing, but every confession has an exact duration of three minutes.

That corresponds to the standard size of port-a-pack tape.

All.

Except Filiberto Guerra.

That one runs for 2 minutes and 37 seconds.

According to Sofia's fingerprint report, that tape was cut.

But why would he cut it short?

Maybe because Filiberto Guerra said something Goyo didn't want us to know

about.

Martin, my name is Maria, and this is Valentina. What do you want?

We're here to ask you some questions about your dad.

What for?

You can't even leave the dead in peace?

No, because we think maybe someone was manipulating him.

And we know that he spoke to you the day before he was murdered.

And we also know that your father was anxious and troubled, so he started a

fight. He didn't start anything.

He was completely out of his mind.

Why would you say that?

Because he was a cop.

Why else?

They fucked his life up.

There's something we're not seeing. There are four victims.

Officer Filiberto Guerra.

Lieutenant Romulo Quintanilla.

Detective Plutarco Lozano.

We just need to watch Commander Aldo Herrera's tape.

It's escalating.

What?

It's escalating. Goyo's victims.

The next one should be someone with a higher rank.

There's only one person from the station who has a higher rank than your father.

What else do you want me to say?

We just need to know what he said to you that day. Nothing.

Just a bunch of bullshit.

Well, it may seem like that, but it might also help us to understand why he

was killed.

They called me again to do something huge.

They want me to take out some communists, the same group that I was

spying on. I already killed two of them. In exchange, I requested your freedom

and they accepted. Chief Escobedo promised to get you out of here.

Are you sure he told you that?

It was the chief of police?

It's not easy, no.

Because that's precisely the problem these days, the fucking envy in this

country. That's where all our problems lie.

Absolutely anyone can follow orders.

But a great idea, a truly great idea, not everyone has those.

No.

Because otherwise everyone would be leaders and that would fuck everything

up.

Another one, Terrence.

And another one for the lady.

I'm talking too much, right?

That's normal.

You have a lot of pressure on your shoulders.

So tell me more.

Lieutenant De La Torre speaking.

I'm calling from the police station.

We're looking for Chief Escobedo. It's urgent.

He should be there at the station.

He left earlier to go over there and hasn't come home.

Do you know of a location he frequently goes to when he's not working, or if

there's a restaurant he likes?

I have no idea.

Maybe he has some receipts? Could you please do us a favor and look?

No, I always dump them.

Is there a box of matches?

Well, he's got a ton of those.

There are several from a place called Cachon d'Or.

I guess that if the president assigned that so-called Cobra,

there must be a reason, right?

The president, yeah.

Do you even know how he rose to the top?

It was me who got him there.

It wasn't easy.

To clean up his image.

After.

After you know what.

Well,

you are just fascinating, you know that?

There, Chief.

Just calm down now. Sir?

What? You have a phone call.

It's the station.

They shouldn't be bothering the Chief now, don't you think?

He hung up.

Call him again.

You ready?

72413.

No, it's busy.

Well, at least we know where he is now.

It's right here.

If we find Escobedo, we can find Goyo, too.

You go inside.

We'll cover the entrance.

Captain Romandia, we're looking for Chief Emilio Escobedo. He left about

five minutes ago. Alone?

Why do you want to know? Don't fuck around!

Did he leave here with someone? He was with a woman.

With her?

Yes, that's her.

Thank you.

They were seen leaving together five minutes ago. We have to tell Cobra.

No, no, wait.

You know how they are.

Then how are we going to find the chief?

Well, we know that Goyo always leaves his victims at the place where they

committed their worst crime.

So where would Escobedo have committed his worst crime?

Wait. Goyo has to get a confession first to know exactly where to leave the body.

That means he has to record the confession somewhere else entirely.

Yeah, but where?

A place he can control.

A place where no one could ever step in and where he has access always.

I know where. In addition to her house, Makaria inherited a factory that she

closed shortly after she received it.

Then he has to be there.

I understand now why you wanted me to stay away from the investigation, Chief.

What are you doing, fucker?

Where did you bring me?

You didn't lack faith in me. On the contrary, it's that you really actually

believed I could catch Filiberto Guerra.

That's why you rejected me.

I mean, do you know how flattered I'm feeling now that I know that?

If you don't let me out of here.

You'll face something far worse than being sent to jail.

And you, you fucking lying whore.

It wasn't so hard to find Filiberto.

The way he chose his victims, it was, well, a little clumsy, really.

They were the same men he had been investigating and watching for years and

years.

So then, I got...

My hands on this incredible camera.

All thanks to an old cellmate.

I was going to send it to you, hoping you would notice what I'm capable of.

You can imagine the major plot twist when Filiberto said that you

ordered him to assassinate all those kids.

That's a damn lie, you crazy asshole! No, no, no.

Sodium pentothal eliminates that pesky variable.

You'll soon notice it.

When it's time for your confession.

I gave you your freedom, Goyo.

I got you out of jail.

Doesn't that count for anything?

All right, listen.

Listen, come on. Wait, wait, wait. Goyo, Goyo.

Come on. Why don't we talk?

Let's... If you just let me go...

No one will ever follow you.

I'm going to erase your record.

You're clean and free.

Completely.

But we are already free.

You are the ones who are slaves.

We'll see it.

Diaz, you'll go to the back. We'll cover this entrance.

Let's go.

Not so fast.

Come on.

How many millimeters, sweetheart?

He's about 220 pounds, so 20?

No, no.

Fuck. There are more light bulbs in the car.

Listen.

Koin.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

All of this can be fixed.

Listen, my friend.

I will give you names.

Names of police who are corrupt Way more corrupt than I am

I can tell you where to find them

So you can kill them instead

That's what you want, right?

I'm listening, Commander.

Freeze! Nobody move!

This animal wanted to kill me!

He wanted to kill me!

Cover me.

Yeah.

Gregorio Cadenas, you are under arrest.

On your fucking knees.

Where's Makaria?

I told you we broke up.

No.

That's not true.

She was heading to her car.

Go and get her. Arrest her. It's an order.

Free Escobedo. Be careful in case she comes back.

Gabina, come with me.

Yes, sir.

Maria Yes, yes, do you copy over Diaz do you copy?

Now who's the one who's tied up asshole Maria talking to you Maria

Diaz! Diaz!

Huh? Diaz. Are you okay? No.

What happened? I didn't see her coming.

She escaped.

We've got an officer wounded.

Apply pressure. I repeat, we have an officer down.

Asochicalco 107.

This is Officer Herrera.

Where did she go? She went out that door.

And Angelus? I don't know.

Don't move.

Don't.

Angelus? Captain?

Are you all right?

My arms are getting pretty sore.

Maria.

I've got something to tell you, Maria.

Goyo.

Don't you want to know what the chief was going to confess?

It turns out he was... No!

Chief Escobedo.

Put the gun down.

Okay, understood.

Attention all units.

This is Officer Angeles Cruz. We have found Chief Escobedo alive.

Macario Cadenas has been arrested.

Goyo Cadenas has been shot.

Over and out.

Captain, we can't just let Escobedo get away with it.

I will tell you something, but you need to listen carefully.

For your security, we cannot trust anyone.

But I can guarantee that we'll take action on this.

What's all this?

I wanted to say goodbye.

It's time for me to move back home.

Gabina, no. My reaction was wrong.

It's just that... I think what you did was wrong as well.

I probably would have made the same choice you did.

Or even worse.

Really? How much worse?

Forget it. Okay. The point is, I can't imagine what you're going through, but

I'm here for whatever you need.

And we're friends. You don't need to go anywhere.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

But it's still time for me to go back home.

And you're sure?

I'm only sure about one thing.

That nothing is more important than family.

I love you.

I love you.

Okay, get out of here. Go on.

Good morning, Octavio.

Morning, Maria.

You okay?

Yes. Yes, I was waiting for you because I want to apologize.

Really?

You don't need to apologize to me. Of course I do, Octavio.

You are one of the best people I've ever known.

And you really didn't deserve to be hurt.

You're brave.

You're so kind.

And honest.

And you will make whoever is at your side a very lucky woman.

But I'm not that woman.

I just couldn't stand the idea of having to lose you again as a friend.

And I really want to thank you because... You awakened a certainty in

me that I'm also worthy of that.

We both deserve that.

Just not with each other.

What do you want me to say?

That you forgive me, I guess.

I forgive you.

The commander just asked for you guys.

Agent Guardado says you found important information about Emilio Escobedo?

Yes. Yes, sir.

Let's see.

Emilio Escobedo, the man who finally put down the Executioner.

You solved one problem, Emilio.

What a shame that it was a problem you yourself created.

It was impossible to know that Cadenas would become an animal. I'm talking

about Filiberto Guerra.

I... I don't understand.

What were you thinking, Emilio?

Did you really believe you could somehow create your very own undresser just to

catch him later on?

And then be the crown hero of the city?

I'm sorry, sir, but... Well, one of my closest agents delivered this

information.

From a very reliable source.

With all due respect, you know me, Mr. President.

Jesus, just have some balls and tell me the truth for once!

I just wanted to change the image of the police department. By killing innocent

students? What are you, some kind of idiot?

No, no, I never told Filiberto to murder students.

I just asked that he use kids that no one would ever miss.

Thanks to you creating your version of the Undresser, Goyo created the

Executioner, and now four of our best officers are dead!

I'm sorry, Mr. President.

How can I fix this? I'll do anything you want. I can— Stop!

Sit down right now.

You will be the one to change the department's image.

All right.

Just tell me how.

The DA will accuse you of unleashing not only one, but two vile

beasts against the people.

You're going to jail for three years. Nothing serious.

That's how we wrap the case up.

Will you serve your country or not?

I would do anything for Mexico.

Be very careful out there, ladies. Don't get too confident. Use your radios if

anything happens.

Understand? Yes, sir.

Lieutenant?

Your shifts are already posted.

Have an excellent day.

Maria.

What's wrong?

I couldn't watch it.

Well, don't worry.

Goyo's dead now.

I don't want to be the kind of officer who hides the truth.

I want to reveal it.

Turns out Valentina was right.

That kind of decision isn't up to me.

You're my lieutenant, and I know you'll do the right thing.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'm a woman in blue.

You can count on me.

Lieutenant. Officer.

Hi,

Maria.

Hello, Lucas.

Thanks for coming.

What do you need?

This is the confession of Commander Aldo Herrera.

I'll give it to you on one condition.

Non-negotiable.

I know coming here wasn't easy.

What in the hell are we doing here, Mel?

I took you to your very first protest, and I don't regret that.

I just want to... show you someplace different.

So who wants to go first?

Valentina. She was just like Gerardo.

A lot, right?

Soufflé with sweet potato poblano.

Oh, boy, we're excited.

And you, sweetheart, would you like any?

Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

I know Angelus has been helping you, but if it would help you to speak with your

sister... I'm always here.

And I'll try not to judge you.

I said I'll try.

Women in blue, it's time to do our rounds.

Commander. Lieutenant De La Torre.

Officers Camacho, Herrera, and Cruz.

I've got orders to take you with me.

Now.

Women in blue.

Commander Cobra and his men.

have determined that Emilio Escobedo was responsible for recruiting a murderer to

attack a group of young people.

I'm also aware that we have this crucial information, in part thanks to your

division.

Thank you.

You have done an invaluable service for this great nation.

You have all been a crucial part in reforming this institution.

Do you realize that?

Thank you. Thanks.

I'll do respect, ma'am.

Do you really think that this is going to change anything?

Well, that's why I brought you four down here.

I'd like to offer you something much more than recognition.

Ask me for anything.

Really? Anything?

Oh yes, anything.

May we have a moment?

Please, of course.

Are you ready?
