["The Greatest" by Billie Eilish playing]

"LIGHT DOESN'T ILLUMINATE YOU, FACING YOUR DARKNESS DOES." CARL JUNG

[Bárbara] Bárbara.

-Bárbara. -[wild roar]

[Bárbara] Bárbara.

It's me.

It's your time, Bárbara.

This is your moment.

[music intensifies]

[Bárbara] Now what?

[song fades]

[Bárbara] At Eternals, we have always been committed to transparency.

So I'm pleased to say that the studies we've done in our laboratory,

and the tests on the children of the plaintiff families,

have proved that our mushrooms had nothing to do with their addictions.

So as we move forward,

we can dismiss any accusations you may have heard.

And this has brought on a few changes for us.

We've made the decision that Eternals will be sold by prescription only,

and it'll come with therapeutic support.

Thank you for coming today.

-[reporters' questions overlap] -I appreciate it.

-Thanks, guys. -[cell phone vibrates]

-[Cristian] Thank you. -Sorry, give me a sec, would you?

Hey.

[Fabián] Did you ask him to meet at the beach as planned?

Yes.

Just don't get distracted or start with any bullshit. I know you.

I'll send you the time later.

[tense music playing]

[music fades]

Bárbara, if you've asked to meet because of your ex and shit, hey,

business is business.

That's not why I called you.

You had Vivi take the fall, and it worked out well for you.

I just wanted to get my cousin out of that shitshow.

Yeah, by working with Esteban?

Esteban is no longer with us.

-He isn't? -No.

-You stabbed him in the back? -He deserved it.

Then you reacted like the good Hidalgo you are.

-I learned from the best. -Yeah.

Is that all? I don't have a lot of time.

No, let's talk.

I would like to make you a proposal.

Uh-huh.

How would you feel about stopping your production of holistic mushrooms?

Are you scared?

No, Jacobo. You're no competition to me.

That's the problem.

You've always seen me that way. You don't realize I'm useful.

That's true. I didn't, but now I see I was wrong.

You know that Medusa has a stronger foothold in that market,

and your company could grow if we help each other out.

What's the catch, Bárbara?

Look, Jacobo, I'll support your candidacy for governor.

All I ask is that you use legislation to regulate your mushrooms.

So you don't have a conflict of interest.

You move Benefiscience to the food industry.

-There's the problem. I'm out. -No, no. Hear me out.

Edible mushrooms are a multi-million-dollar market

that doesn't interest us.

Look, we could be growing to eight and a half billion dollars

this year in Latin America alone.

Mm?

We can grow exponentially over time if we work together.

[suspenseful music playing]

[clears throat]

If you stab me in the back…

You can blow up my other yacht.

[Damián laughs sarcastically]

I always wanted Cristian to go into politics.

But look who ended up there, this fucking dandy.

That's exactly why he'll win.

What the fuck would you know about that?

What would I know about anything, right?

[tense music playing]

MEDUSA LABORATORIES

Well, we've looked at the demands the union sent over,

and we agree on most of the points.

There's one point that we don't.

Which one's that?

The problem is, we can't raise workers' salaries now.

Otherwise, we'll need another cut to executive salaries.

-Another? -Yes, another.

But if we cut executive salaries,

we'd be able to give a raise to the foot soldiers,

who are the foundation of Medusa.

-A no-brainer. -These are our conditions.

Magda, I know exactly who your candidate is.

[suspenseful music intensifies]

-Thought you had more sense than that. -No, I do. I do have sense.

The thing is, Bárbara…

he made the workers all of these empty promises

and filled their heads with dreams.

And you know the rest.

Do I?

Magda, my sister isn't going to give you everything you're asking for, but I will.

You'll see. I'm going to give everyone the raise they deserve.

Mm-hmm. And where will that budget come from exactly?

I don't know where exactly yet, but I will get that money, okay?

You better believe I will.

Yep, and now I have to put you forward, right?

Listen, as soon as I'm CEO,

the very next day, Magda,

I'll give all of you everything that you deserve.

Can I count on you or not?

Someone like that can ruin everything.

They don't recognize the severity of their mistakes.

I'm glad you've realized.

We accept the board's terms.

Great, we'll meet with the advisors to finalize the changes we've made.

But a strike would have to be off the table.

There won't be one. I guarantee it.

[music turns tense]

[applause]

That's my little sis!

All right, very good. Let's continue.

[Tuly] I told you so.

Seriously, you really thought that you were this great big shot

who was the next CEO?

Making all these promises like buying a house in Puerto Colombia.

Hey, baby, I actually walked out of this with a good deal.

I'm not an idiot.

And what deal? Was it one you made with that loser?

-Are you hearing yourself? -Hey.

I didn't make a deal with my Dad, okay?

[Diógenes] Hey, sis!

Good work with the union stuff in there.

Talking to them nice and firm like you need to.

You can quit the act, Diógenes.

-You tried to turn the union against us. -What?

I assume that was our Dad's plan?

[exhales]

It was my plan, actually.

That motherfucker!

-Ah! -So you're really playing us.

And you guys aren't?

You two are quite the pair.

[suspenseful music playing]

Hey, wait up.

I didn't win this time,

but there's no chance in hell that I'll leave now.

We might not be able to send your ass away,

but I'll screw you over so bad you'd wish you quit.

-Unless… -[music fades]

[Tuly] Manager of what?

The manager of transportation. Huh?

I'll drive a big-ass bulldozer around like this… [imitates engine]

-Childhood dream come true. -This is serious, Diógenes.

You're going to drive a truck and abandon the business?

My point is we are set.

I'll have a professional job without going to college.

And the most important thing of all is that I'm gonna be the manager.

And Bárbara said that she'll give us a house in Puerto Colombia.

Whatever one I want,

or rather, whichever house you pick to raise our children.

Mm?

[Latin music playing]

-Well… -I see that smile.

-Don't hide it, bad girl. -Okay, but hurry up and order.

Because I am hungry.

Seven yucca fritters, like the seven kids you'll give me.

Oh, yeah? Seven of them?

[Latin music gets louder]

[music turns sensual]

Hey, my love!

Come in! Join me.

-The water is so nice today. -We need to talk.

What about? Are you okay?

You need to get out of here.

-What're you talking about? -Hey, focus.

-Somebody wants to kill you. -Don't joke.

No, no, no. Cristian, you must go.

I love you. I don't want you hurt.

-You need to leave. -Calm down.

For God’s sake, you need to listen to me.

I was hired by somebody to kill you--

[muffled screams]

Hey! Hey, hey! Wake up, Dalila! My love! Hey! Hey! Grab her!

[tense music building]

[music fades]

For fuck's sake!

[Danger] All we know right now from Porras

is that the guy grabbed the car and abandoned it on the Caribbean Highway.

And we know for certain the car was rented because of the plates.

Christian,

did Dalila not tell you who was behind all of this?

She tried to.

[melancholic music playing]

She was trying to protect me from all of it…

That's why she…

How about you get out of here for a few days.

I should.

Yeah.

The trial is not something I'll miss.

[reporter] Today, one of the most powerful men in the country

and in Latin America

will have to respond to accusations of sexual and workplace harassment.

I suffered major emotional and psychological abuse

from Damián Hidalgo.

He also paid a doctor

to declare me incompetent, and that's how that man…

took my children away from me.

[attorney] Ms. Mebarak.

You say that you suffered many years of abuse from Mr. Hidalgo,

yet you never filed a report.

That's rather strange, no?

If you actually knew anything about abuse,

then you'd know that's impossible to do that when you feel…

isolated and terrified.

The DA has also requested the presence of Úrsula Hidalgo to come testify.

[dramatic music playing]

[prosecutor] Úrsula, ma'am, thank you for being here.

Can you please tell this court what your life has been like

living together with your husband Damián Hidalgo?

The abuses were, uh, psychological,

physical…

and sexual.

You're a lying bitch!

-[judge] Behave yourself, Mr. Hidalgo. -Yes, he's sorry.

[dramatic music continues]

And I have proof of this, because whenever Damián Hidalgo raped me,

I took myself to a doctor

to gather the evidence.

Is that not legally considered rape?

[prosecutor] The DA also requests permission to submit the evidence

that has been provided for the court.

[judge] Will the defense cross-examine?

[attorney] No, Your Honor.

-[judge] Ma'am, you may leave. -[prosecutor] Thank you, Ursula.

[music intensifies]

Your Honor,

the DA also requests the presence of some former female employees

of the Medusa conglomerate to step forward in front of the court.

[judge] Permission granted.

[prosecutor] We have Ms. Lorena Caña,

Lucero Martínez,

María Sinisterra,

Marta Sánchez,

Clara Contreras,

Marlen Acevedo,

Alcira Martínez.

[dramatic sting]

[reporter] For a family that has been plagued by scandals,

this is the biggest one of all, since Mr. Hidalgo…

[reporter 2] Mr. Hidalgo, do you have anything to say?

[camera stutters click]

[music fades]

I'd like to say that I've reached my limit with you.

[scoffs]

You're simple and weak, with no character.

You'll be back on your knees begging for forgiveness.

You haven't got any cards left.

You can't force me to do anything that I don't want to do.

Go on, get out.

Let's see how you do on the outside without my protection or money.

Go on.

He knew you existed, by the way, but he never reached out

because you were of no use to him.

-That's not true! -Come on. It's the truth.

I know it. We all knew it.

You never acknowledged him. You were ashamed of your mother.

Because she didn't come from the right social class.

I personally never cared about that.

He threatened your poor mother,

so she would never say a word.

You fucking traitor!

I know, easy, easy, It's okay. It's okay.

Diógenes, come here. Don't listen to a word he said.

He's a fucking traitor.

He's ungrateful. That's all.

But we'll continue with the plans we have for Medusa.

You do your part, like we planned.

As soon as I get out of here and get house arrest,

we'll plot my return.

And I'll tell you everything about me and your mom.

Okay! Both of you, calm down!

Why don't you just fuck off, you limp-dicked old man?

Huh?

[dramatic music plays]

[music fades]

[reporter] In breaking news.

Mr. Camilo Hidalgo has already fled the country,

evading his impending day in court

where he would face charges of collusion with his brother, Damián Hidalgo.

You know that if you change your mind…

Thank you, but, um… no.

I understand now that Medusa…

is not for me.

Safe travels.

[melancholic music playing]

[Bárbara] Take care. I love you.

I love you too.

-[Bárbara] Hey. -[door shuts]

There's something I need to talk to you about.

It's extremely important.

If the idea's to rub my failures in my face and what happened with Adela…

No, no, we're here to talk about Maya.

-Did something happen to her? -No, she's fine.

I think it'd be good for you to be in Miami with her.

She shouldn't come back until all this is resolved.

Go protect her.

So you don't want to humiliate me?

My God. Why would I want to do that to you?

You know that I'm completely and utterly broke.

Where'd you get the idea I could afford Miami?

That's not a problem, and you know it.

Your daughter misses you.

It would really do her good to spend some time with you.

Think about it.

I appreciate it.

But no.

Why? Don't act so proud!

No, on the contrary.

I finally found a little dignity, Bárbara.

Don't take it the wrong way,

but I'm not interested in your useless pity or your charity.

I'd much prefer your hate instead.

No, I actually don't hate you or even pity you.

That's not the case.

Well, good.

Because I won't be the victim here.

I know that.

Everything I went through was what I chose to do.

I get it now.

That's why I want to get back on my own two feet, alone.

You can count on me for whatever you need.

[Danger] I've been investigating, and I've traced the money

that was going from Arácnida to another company.

Just imagine for a second those fat stacks of money

that were flowing out as some kind of subsidy

to non-profit foundations.

-To foundations? -Hm-hmm.

Ah, dude, that's it then.

Then of course, it has to be Jackie.

[Úrsula] It's called money laundering. It's a crime.

I received that money

with the intention of helping people through the foundations.

Do you think this will get back to me?

[Danger] So that means we're going to have to investigate Jackie next.

She knew about the money, but I think she's under her husband's control.

What else did she tell you?

She looked really sad.

She doesn't usually have that demeanor. She seemed scared.

[Danger] "The true identity of Jackie."

"She wasn't always known as Jackie or Jacqueline."

"First, she was Britney Torrecillas."

Britney Torrecillas.

[suspenseful music playing]

"She acts strategically

and was involved in moving funds from Arácnida to her foundations."

So then Jackie was the one pulling all the strings.

Britney Torrecillas.

Brit…

[music stops]

[Danger] "Now I will be death."

"Cut off the Medusa's head."

"Brito."

HATE, PAIN, CONTEMPT, RESENTMENT

Brito… found you, motherfucker!

[ringing tone]

When we started investigating the attack on you,

of course, we had a few suspects, because most of them had a motive to…

to basically kill you.

But in doing so, we only focused on the big fish.

And we totally overlooked your very own…

Auntie Jackie.

My Auntie Jackie?

The very one. Your aunt Jackie. By the way, her name is not Jacqueline.

In Gunter's investigation,

we were able to establish that her real name is Britney Torrecillas.

Huh?

Britney Torrecillas.

Bri-To.

No.

She wanted to fuck you over.

-Seriously? -[Danger] Long before Gabriel ever did.

Gabriel found out about this

and got a head start by attacking you on the yacht.

When he failed, she continued with her plan.

She thought she'd keep her status despite what happened to Camilo.

But everything changed when you became CEO.

She thought she was fine,

but there was one thing she wasn't expecting from you.

She didn't expect you to close off the money flow

that was going straight to her foundations.

No, that's a major error, Bárbara.

And not just that, but also that you'd kick Jacobo out of Medusa.

So, what did she think then?

"I'll have to kill Bárbara,

that way Damián comes back, and everything goes back to how it was."

But she needed money to do all this, because everything comes at a cost.

So what does she do next?

That's where Arácnida comes into the picture,

and it's there to move all the money through Jackie's foundations.

And that allowed her to set up this whole fucking circus.

[suspenseful music playing]

How?

She deceived all of us.

That's right.

So then, as…

[Danger] Get down, man!

…as soon as she found out you were investigating,

she tried to stop you by scaring you off.

No, that's terrible.

The only thing we haven't been able to work out

is who her ally is.

Who is the person helping her orchestrate this whole thing?

We actually have, um, a voice recording.

-Play it for her. -[Bárbara] A recording?

UNENCRYPTED AUDIO

[Deivis] Go ahead, boss.

[Fabián] Deal with that fucking detective exactly like we agreed.

[Deivis] I'm on it.

-[Fabián] You'll be paid the same fee. -[Deivis] Copy.

Can you play it again?

[Deivis] Go ahead, boss.

[Fabián] Deal with that fucking detective exactly like we agreed.

Nice to see you again, Bárbara.

Fabián!

It's Fabián!

He's the man who's always with her at the foundations.

[moaning]

-Are you sure? -Yes, I'm absolutely sure!

They're a pair of sick murderers!

-Where are you going? -I'm going to find them.

As soon as they make out that we're after them, they'll disappear.

-Are you crazy? -What? Why?

We're dealing with people who wanna hurt you. They're dangerous.

You can't just show up there like it's no big deal to…

I don't even know what!

This is like a game of chess.

You can't move a piece without looking at the board,

or you'll put yourself in checkmate. Do you understand? So sit down.

-Okay. -[Danger] We need to make her talk.

[tense music playing]

Fabián, I think things are getting complicated.

The truth about Arácnida will come out at any time.

Because if Úrsula knows about everything,

I'm positive that Danger and Bárbara are behind it.

[police siren wailing]

That's why we need to kill them.

We need to finish them off.

[cell phone ringing]

Would you look at who's trying to call me?

Hello, darling, how are you?

Jackie, I need to talk to you, because I can't trust anybody else.

Danger told me some information about the Gamboa case

that worried me, and I don't want you to be implicated,

because it involves my dad and Uncle Camilo.

I'm sorry. I don't understand. Explain it to me, would you?

I think they tapped my phone. Can I tell you in person what happened?

Yeah, of course.

At your house or at Medusa?

Not at Medusa, no.

I'm actually at the foundation. Are you here?

Yeah, yeah, I'm right here.

I'll wait for you in the car, okay?

[police siren wailing]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[Fabián] I'll follow you.

[Spanish song playing]

[music softens]

Where is your bodyguard?

It's his day off. I told you I can't trust anyone.

Can't you tell me what's going on?

[whispers] Shh. I can't, no.

Shh.

[music turns suspenseful]

Where are you taking me, then?

To Mandrágora.

[Jackie] That house has been abandoned for years.

[Bárbara] That's why it's perfect.

We need privacy to talk, and we can be safe there.

[suspenseful music continues]

[Spanish song resumes]

Okay, I'm now in position, bro.

I'm here too, man, watching the place from above.

I'll await your orders.

[Spanish music gets louder]

Do you want to know why I brought you to this house

that's filled with memories?

Yes, darling, tell me, because I clearly don't understand.

If I called you Brito, would you understand?

-Brito? -Yes.

That's your real name, no?

Britney Torrecillas.

The name you've been hiding from us this whole time.

But why?

Britney.

Is that why we're here? That's me. My maiden name is Torrecillas, Bárbara.

Ah.

I changed it because it didn't fit after becoming a Hidalgo.

You're my aunt. You're my family.

You were always so spiritual,

so connected to God.

It turns out that you're nothing but a demon in the flesh.

Don't be a hypocrite.

How can you turn an act of love like changing my name as a married woman…

into a crime?

When I first met Camilo…

We were both very young,

practically children.

You can call me Jackie.

But don't get the wrong idea, Bárbara.

I may have been young, but I was definitely not stupid.

I always knew about his preferences.

But little by little, with love, we built something very beautiful.

Then Jacobo came along.

Our home got bigger.

I worked at the foundations.

And just when our family was doing well,

who showed up but you.

And destroyed everything your uncle worked for.

Exposing him to the world, leaving him without a job, without a life.

Destroying my health.

You are capable of causing endless hurt to anyone you have ever known, Bárbara.

[suspenseful music playing]

If there's an awful person in this family, it's you.

Jackie, you have attempted to murder every single one of us.

What are you talking about? Murdering you all?

You're the one who killed Gamboa! It was you!

Tell me when I ever saw that guy? What are you even talking about?

Come inside.

[Spanish song resumes]

Why do you have so much hatred within you? Are you out of your mind?

Are you completely fucking insane?

-I don't hate you. -Oh, no?

But I should, Bárbara.

Because I have every reason in the book to.

Hey, bro! That son of a bitch just pulled in.

Don't lose sight of that motherfucker. Porras, don't lose him.

Don't worry. I won't take my eyes off that son of a bitch.

[tense music swelling]

[Bárbara] I'm sure you were teamed up with Gabriel.

He was obsessed with you and killed himself because of you.

-That poor young man. -Jackie…

Another puppet of yours? Does he do your dirty work like Gabriel?

Shut the fuck up, you bitch!

[gunshot]

[Danger] Hey! Freeze! Drop your gun!

[Spanish song resumes]

-[Fabián grunts] -You okay?

[panting]

I fucking love you, man!

Show a little respect, huh.

You son of a bitch.

[helicopter blades whirring]

[reporter] In breaking news. Jacqueline Hidalgo has been arrested

for the attempted murder of her niece Bárbara Hidalgo.

There was evidence that Mrs. Jacqueline Hidalgo

supplied narcotics to young people, whom she found through her foundations,

and targeted them for their history of addiction.

You have a visitor.

[reporter] Jacqueline Hidalgo faces charges for first-degree murder,

identity theft, and money laundering, among other crimes.

Candidate Jacobo Hidalgo has denied any connection with the accused.

No, please don't.

Please don't.

Jaco…

No, Mommy.

My love…

-I don't want to see you ever again. -No…

No…

[prisoners' whistle and shout]

[upbeat Latin music playing]

No way! Look at you!

It's so good to see ya! You've grown. Look how tall you've gotten!

Oh, stop it. I haven't grown at all, Dad!

You're gorgeous. How are you doing, honey?

I'm good. I'm so happy that you're here. I really missed you.

And I'm here to stay.

If you'll have me, we can retire, both of us.

There's just something I need to tell you.

My place is different. It's a…

small-ish apartment, but it's cozy.

And it has an energy that's more fun. I mean, the space is not that…

-Come on, relax. -Big, I suppose.

You know I don't care about that. What's important is that we're together.

How have you been?

-Good. -Yeah?

-Pretty chill. -[chuckles]

Free of baggage, which is great.

When things get tight, you realize that happiness doesn't boil down to money.

-But I'm working too much. -Where are you working?

I'm managing 30 warehouses for some incredible brands.

Twelve of these great top-end stores.

But above all, sweetie, I'm working with some really great human beings.

It's different, but I mean, I'm happy.

And your mom told me you're back with Nina?

-Uh… No, but we're staying friends. -That's rough.

-Yeah. -But good for you.

Any boys, or…?

-Hm. -Forget it.

-Hey, we listen… -But we don't judge.

But I do want grandkids, you know?

I do, okay? You hear?

-That'll be a tricky one. -No? Just dogs then?

SIX MONTHS LATER

[notary] The bride and groom declare

that they have no legal impediments to marriage.

This act is carried out by their mutual agreement,

free from coercion or lack of consent.

They have no children in common at the time this marriage takes place.

In this act, the notary,

at the verbal request of the bride and groom,

and in the presence of the competent witnesses,

who also sign this document,

hereby declares the civil marriage between Danger Carmelo and Bárbara Hidalgo.

I now legally pronounce you husband and wife.

-[Diógenes] Yeah! -[Porras] Bravo!

Long live the husband and wife! Yeah!

Look how sweet they are! Just beautiful!

[emotional music playing]

[Porras laughs]

[Diógenes] That's my little sister!

Beautiful!

I love you.

I love you.

[soft laughter]

-[Diógenes] Bravo! Let's celebrate! -[Porras] Bravo! Bravo!

-Thank you. Thank you all. -Thanks, guys!

Let's go.

-You know what I've been thinking? -Hm-hmm.

How grateful I am for the life I have, and that you're in it.

Sometimes I look back and think I don't deserve you.

Hm.

What did we agree on?

-What? -To leave the past behind.

-To leave the past behind. -Yes. [chuckles]

I'm so happy that I'm with you.

[upbeat traditional music playing]
