A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Mommy!

Mejía for president, gentlemen!

Block him, block him! Stop, motherfucker!

Stop!

Go. Block him, man.

Now, open the door!

-Don't open it! -Open the door!

What's up? Your head! Put your head between your knees!

Go, dude! Go!

I'm sorry.

Hi, boss. How's the event going?

Good.

Look, I already found some information about Marta.

Her full name is Marta Montañez.

She worked here until around a month and a half ago.

I need you to locate her, Benji.

It's the only way I'm going to get to Inés.

I know, I'm on it.

Dad.

What's wrong?

We've been looking for David for a while, but we can't find him.

Pablo, how many times do I have to tell you

that you have to take care of your brother?

Who knows where he might be? It's this girl's fault for sure.

No, she did nothing. I took him there.

It doesn't matter right now!

The main thing right now is finding David.

So, everyone go look for him.

-Darelis! -Yes, sir.

Please, tell the staff to go looking for the child right now!

-Yes, sir. -Weren't you doing your homework?

Yes, ma'am. I already finished.

And she's also a liar.

Ana Lucía.

Come here.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Analía.

I wanted to know if the maid was able to help you with the stain,

and I see she did. Very good.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm great.

Excuse me.

Ladies, good afternoon.

You look amazing.

A heart full of hatred only withers the soul.

You lost everything, and so did I, because of that killer.

I refuse to think that I did my job wrong.

I taught you to be a good woman, with a clean soul, a loving woman.

And now you tell me that you'll take revenge?

It's not a revenge.

It's justice.

Taking justice into your hands is not revenge.

It's a crime.

Are you okay?

-Yes. -It doesn't look that way.

I thought I could come here and handle it...

but everything reminds me of the past.

Mejía treated us horribly.

I came here with my mother to work...

-I can't breathe. -Let's go.

Come on, breathe. Let's go.

What will you do to me?

Please, don't hurt me.

I'll do whatever you want, okay?

But don't hurt me.

Call my family.

The taxi driver will report you!

And as soon as my dad finds out,

-you'll rot in jail! -Don't be stupid.

Do you think we'll leave loose ends?

Quiet.

Help!

I don't see Sofi.

She didn't come. She went to Medellín for work.

Okay. Good.

Why don't you, instead of chattering,

go do your thing, move around, talk to people?

Are you feeling better now?

How am I going to smile at Mejía now?

All I want is to scream,

to shout out to the world that he's the piece of shit

who killed my mom.

I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you to be in this place

full of memories, and with all these people.

But you can't forget that it's possible to bear anything, whatever it is,

if you keep the strength of spirit...

and if you take control again,

just like you've been doing.

Focus on your advantages.

None of the people who are out there, who hurt you so much,

know who you are.

Mejía has no idea what's coming his way.

Remember all those years you spent planning his fall.

Besides, Benji and I are here for you.

We came here and we'll be with you until the end, supporting you.

You have the hardest task,

and you can't fall apart now.

You're right.

What happened to Pérez?

He's about to arrive,

and everything will turn out as you planned.

Okay.

I need to undermine the relationship between Mejía and Manuel de la Torre.

He must withdraw his financial support completely.

So be it.

It's in the most difficult situations

where people show their true character.

Stay focused.

What's wrong, honey?

You're a little distracted.

No, I'm not. Why?

Excuse me.

I'll take Eugenia for a moment because they want to interview us.

Journalists.

Okay, we'll talk later.

Of course. Be good, alright?

Look at your granny.

As soon as they spoke about journalists, she forgot her sadness over our departure.

Stay close, honey.

Honey, do you want a drink? Come on, I'll go with you. Let's go.

We'll be right back.

Eugenia de la Torre, founder of the Foundation for Education and the Future,

please, tell us about this project.

Our main objective is to be able to help many young people

who don't have the resources to pay for a university degree.

So, we've seen important politicians, businessmen,

including the candidate Guillermo León Mejía,

Mrs. Rosario's husband,

who, as I understand, is also the manager of this initiative.

Of course, of course.

For Guillermo León, the youth and their education are key issues.

His government program focuses on strengthening

the formal education of graduates from all social classes,

-as a pillar for development. -Good.

Candidate Pérez has arrived, come on. Thank you. Let's go!

Here's Mr. Ramiro Pérez,

Union and Renewal Party candidate and main opponent

of the Democratic Force candidate, Guillermo León Mejía.

Good afternoon, Mr. Pérez. How are you?

Good afternoon. Good afternoon, everyone.

It's really a surprise to see you here.

Why? I've always been very sensitive to these causes.

Your presence may be a provocation

for a family that has given so much money to Mr. Mejía's campaign.

Absolutely not.

I'm here to support a cause that's very important to the country.

-Did you invite him? -Of course not.

Guillermo and Manuel José will have a heart attack.

Excuse me, please. Thank you.

Thank you.

That was Mr. Pérez. And now let's go to...

Hello. Rosario. How are you?

-Eugenia, how are you? -Okay, how are you?

Thank you very much for the invitation.

You're helping higher education so much nationwide.

This work is invaluable. Thank you very much.

Excuse me. There's the Minister of Education talking to the senator.

Excuse me. Have a good day.

-Sir! -Excuse me. What a pleasure.

It's really wonderful work...

-Excuse me, please. -Hi, honey.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

-Tell me. -Look who just arrived.

What is Mr. Pérez doing here?

-Who invited him? -I have no idea,

but I think it's absolutely disgraceful

to come to a house where one wasn't invited.

What's wrong?

I don't know. It must have been this drink.

Okay, why don't you go rest and I'll talk to Guillermo?

No, what are you talking about?

I have to talk to him

because I don't want any misunderstandings,

and we have to explain to him that this man snuck in.

We're really making an effort inside the party

so that you don't get detractors at the last minute.

If you guarantee unconditional support,

the Ministries of the Interior, Finance, and Agriculture are yours.

Interesting.

With those ministries, I can talk to the other parliamentarians.

Rosarito, it's so good to see you. You look gorgeous.

Thanks, Roberto.

Pérez is here.

Why? Is he your uncle's friend?

He's not, as far as I know.

Eugenia and I were giving an interview,

but Pérez arrived and we became invisible.

A lot can be said about him, but you can't say he's not popular.

-Excuse me. -Bye.

Excuse me, Roberto.

Sure, go ahead.

Don't forget that our goal

is to get Pablo de la Torre into our campaign today.

It's a good move. He's a young, charismatic guy who's good with words.

An impeccable resumé as the chief of Planning.

He'd be a valuable ally.

And not only that. I want Guillermo Mejía to know

that his biggest critic and the son of the family who supports him the most

is with us.

It's a low blow. We weren't expected to show up on his turf.

Your special guest arrived, along with your ex.

I'm really glad that Mark's advising him because he can lead him to the presidency.

So when we finish with Mejía, you can help him.

-How are you? -Mark.

-Nice to see you. Isabella. -Hello.

Let me introduce you to Analía Guerrero, Mr. Mejía's political strategist,

-and Isabella Aponte, her right hand. -Nice to meet you.

He's this country's future president.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Pérez,

but, unfortunately, I disagree with Mark.

The next president of the Republic

is Guillermo León Mejía.

Okay, here he comes.

Wow.

-Guillermo, how are you? -Ramiro.

-Nice to see you. -Really?

-Are you surprised? -You ignore me

every time I reply to you on the Internet.

I'm not ignoring you, I'm ignoring the Internet.

Would you rather talk somewhere else?

Or would you rather entertain the press by generating controversy?

I don't need you to entertain the press,

but if you want, we can talk, of course.

Good.

May this event be a cordial meeting

between two people who are on opposite banks.

-After you, Mr. Pérez. -Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Mejía will not be giving any interviews

because he doesn't want to distract

from what is truly important today,

the Foundation for Education & the Future.

Thank you very much for coming and enjoy yourselves.

Hey.

You've been using the phone since we arrived.

I know, honey. I'm sorry.

But in the office they think that I'm a slave.

-That's not okay. -But I promised you

-that I was going to change and I will. -I see.

I'm very sorry for what happened to your son, Mejía.

It was an unfortunate situation

which, fortunately, strengthened us.

Yes, it's true.

Actually, Mr. Mejía's enemies have to think things through better,

because when they try to play dirty

they achieve the opposite effect.

I see that you agree with those who think

that scandal was caused by someone who wanted to harm him.

That's very clear. And I hope it's not you

who's giving those strategies to your boss, Mr. Salinas.

What does he mean?

-Don't let him provoke you. -Family's sacred.

Maybe not for you, because I know

you're divorced, right? And you have no children.

But there are limits

that must be respected in any contest.

I'll ask you, Mejía, to speak when you have proof.

I promise that I'll talk about the corruption scandals

in which you're involved only when I have evidence to show the public.

Yes, of course, when you get it.

If you get something, reveal it.

A word of advice: surround yourself with better people.

Because Mr. Salinas usually changes his mind with ease.

He did everything possible to join my campaign

and, when he saw he couldn't, he joined the losing side.

Mr. Mejía is always spreading lies.

I'll have to leave you. I see Pablo de la Torre

and I need to talk to him.

-Excuse me. -Certainly.

-Excuse me. Good afternoon. -Certainly.

Good afternoon, ma'am.

What does that idiot have to talk to Pablo about?

Is that why he came? How did he get in?

Surely, Pérez's team asked to come to the event.

Why didn't they reject them?

You should ask your aunt that, since you know nothing.

In any case, it would've been a terrible strategy to reject them.

Sometimes, it's good that the enemy enters our territory

and comes out mortified.

Why didn't I know that man was on the list, Analía?

Sofía should've sent you the list of all confirmed people,

and surely she forgot about it because of the trip.

It doesn't matter.

You handled Pérez. The press was here.

They saw you.

You scored some points.

-Hi. -I didn't know you were invited.

Your family gave carte blanche.

And, as this is a cause that moves me, I couldn't refuse.

You know that I was a young man who needed help to study.

That's clear to me.

And you've gone very far. You're a great example, Ramiro.

Excuse me one second. I'm heading to the bathroom.

Okay.

I know you quit your position at the Planning department.

You were doing an excellent job.

-Thank you. -But you left just in time

to join my campaign.

I hope that silence isn't a rejection.

No.

It's a surprise, because I wasn't expecting

this offer. I really wasn’t...

Why? Do you have doubts?

You and I want the same country, one that includes us all,

both the working class and the elite.

Okay, I agree, but I'm not a public figure...

But you were one, and you must take advantage of that.

-You're good. -That happened ages ago.

But it was very important.

Think about it.

To tell you the truth...

I'd love to be part of your campaign, honestly,

-but, right now... -No.

I won't take no for an answer.

That's the same thing Mejía said to me

when he asked me to be his running mate.

Obviously, I said no.

One of the things that reflects well on you

is that you didn't accept his offer.

I think that's exactly why

you fit perfectly into my campaign.

Take your time. It could be good for everyone involved.

-Cheers. -Cheers to you both.

At last.

I was very clear with you.

What's your goal here? To make me hate you?

I'm outside. I won't leave until we talk.

-What? -You heard me.

You come out or I'll come in.

Pick one.

Why did you come here?

We have to fix things, Carolina.

No. You have to understand that this is over. Enough.

-My family's here! -You're the one who has to understand!

Carolina...

I love you. Haven't you noticed?

No, you're not getting it.

Things aren't like that, we agreed that...

Do you think I did this on purpose?

That I fell in love on purpose? That I like it?

-No, I don't! -Please, don't do this.

-I don't! But that's how it is. -Stop.

I'll go in with you. Stop... Don't do this to me.

Mauricio, you're putting my marriage on the line.

Please, go away. Everyone here knows me.

If you want me to go, why did you get in the car with me?

So you wouldn't make a fuss out there.

I'd never do that.

You threatened to enter the house.

I just wanted to see you.

Carolina, tell me this isn't over and I'll leave, I swear.

Mauricio, no. We can't.

Yes, we can. Give me a chance.

With you in Chile, it'll be much easier.

We'll follow your rules.

Whatever you want, but please go.

-Please... -Trust me. Stop.

I know you like that.

-No... -We can't be seen together.

That man is so rude. He dared to come without an invitation.

So, you had no idea that this guy was coming.

Look, Manuel José, if...

if what you want is to cover all fronts

by inviting this man to this event...

Please, Memo. Please. How can you think that?

My God. I can hardly stand him.

The important thing is that you know

that you have all of our support for your campaign.

And, excuse me, Guillermo, but you know what?

I don't like your tone and what you're implying.

Are you stupid or what?

Look at what you did!

Everything's going wrong today.

-Analía, what are you doing? -Relax.

Get up. Go and look for someone to help you, okay?

-Honey. -Go. Or do you want...

-the guests to clean up? -Relax. Calm down.

Calm down, please.

No...

Are you okay?

Yes.

Yes, I am, but obviously Manuel José isn't.

For a few days now, I've been feeling...

I don't know, a pain in this area, but...

Excuse me. I need to go lie down.

-Yes. -Guillermo,

I apologize for this misunderstanding. I hope you understand.

-Get some rest. -Thank you.

-Let's go. -Excuse me.

Go ahead.

It's like something stung me.

-There? -Yes.

What do you think about what happened to Pérez?

If you're asking if Manuel José knew that Pérez was coming, I think he did.

Yes, I think he knew about it.

I don't find it strange, really.

Elections are coming and, usually,

those types of characters approach the opponent.

Now, I won't let Pérez win.

Don't worry about that.

With or without the De la Torre family.

Jairo Mendez and Ever Pinzon, second lieutenants, bomb squad.

Decorated for his work in the deactivation of land mines.

No way, this bastard almost killed me, man.

Memo, this is Miss Aponte.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Mejía.

I’ve heard a lot about you.

I really wanted to meet you. It's an honor.

You told me you wanted to meet my team.

I guess that's your entire team.

Not at all, but she is the most important one on my team.

Okay, stop or I'll believe it.

You should.

We work with satellite companies that we hire as needed,

and I'm in charge of coordinating it.

I'd like to see you more often. I don't know...

Surely, you could deal with some issues while Analía does other things.

Of course, sir. It'll be a pleasure.

"Sir."

I like her.

Excuse me, I have to talk to the Minister of Education.

Certainly.

A long hand-holding, right? What did you think?

I know it's an act, but it's really hard to tell.

Obviously, he's a professional liar.

Did you talk to Pablo? I know Pérez came looking for him.

No, I'm dying to know what they talked about.

You could get everything from your ex.

Wow.

What am I going to get from him? Can't you see he hates me?

Haven't you noticed how he looks at you?

-Yes. -Do you want something?

-What? -Do you want something?

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

-Pablo, hi. -Hi, how are you?

-Something to drink? -No, thanks.

Thank you.

How about you?

We haven't had time to talk, have we?

This house is like a black hole. People get lost.

Okay, watch out. Be careful with your words, because remember

that I grew up in this house. I was raised here.

I know, yes.

Okay, everyone knows that this house

has belonged to your family for generations, right?

Yes, that's right.

-So? -So?

What did you talk to Pérez about?

What a radar you got there.

-Intrigued? -Sure, of course.

Okay, look.

I'm sorry about what I'm going to say,

but I can't disclose information to the rival strategist.

The enemy.

-Is that what you call me? That's wrong. -Yes, very often.

-Yes. -Ani.

I'm sorry to interrupt, Pablo, but I come in peace,

offering to smoke a peace pipe.

Let's have harmony between us, please.

Do you know each other?

Yes, we go way back.

We worked together in Mexico.

That's right.

Why would you offer a peace pipe?

-Okay, just... -Mark...

He's a little resentful of me because I took

the position of political strategist in Guillermo's campaign.

I must admit that I'm thankful. It was a pretty...

low blow. I won't say dirty...

-Okay. -And...

Unfortunately, you have to understand

that our future president is Mr. Ramiro Pérez. Right, Pablo?

-Okay. -Isn't that right, Pablo?

I don't play dirty.

Please.

But I recommend that you...

ask your candidate Pérez if he wants to be part of the cabinet

in Guillermo's future administration.

Are you so sure about that?

-Hello. -Honey.

-Hello, princess. -Hi, princess.

Dad, I can't find my mom.

Carolina is lost. We can't find her.

-The black hole. -The black hole.

-Definitely. -I told you.

We'll find Carolina and go. Make yourselves at home.

-Okay? -Thanks.

Be good, okay? If you need anything, talk to my mom.

-Make yourselves at home. -Think about it.

-Bye. -Bye, gorgeous.

So it wasn't a dirty move.

Our Lord sent me to protect you from self-destruction.

Stop following me and telling me what to do.

And call your daughter.

She should've arrived by now and she wouldn't answer the phone.

She's just like you.

An insensitive person.

Look, they keep calling her.

So what? Can they locate us with that thing?

No, be cool, man. We've already stirred them up.

Now it's time for the fatal blow.

Be careful with the goose with the golden eggs.

Don't take long.

Cheers. To your achievements.

I must admit that you've done a great job with Mr. Mejía.

He turned things around after the scandal with his son.

What do I call you?

The strategist? Chess player?

Between us, we know that you made up

Juan Mario's alcohol problem to score some extra points.

Let's say that you handled an issue of...

human sensitivity.

-Yes. -Yes.

Do you really think I'd make such a risky move?

-Yes. -Okay.

Why didn't you tell De la Torre that you and I

used to be more than just co-workers in the past?

I don't think it's something that everyone should know about.

You think they shouldn't know? Okay.

We should keep talking about this somewhere else, right?

Come, honey, this way.

Yes, maybe.

Let's go.

Maybe.

Then, I'll text you to set up the meeting.

Congratulations, ma'am.

You're still beautiful as always.

Okay, tell me about it.

Pablo just saw me talking to Mark.

He has nothing to be suspicious about.

Besides, he's married and you're single.

Remember that with Mark you can kill two birds with one stone.

You get information that you can use later,

and it helps you forget Pablo while you're at it.

-Come on, Dad. -Careful, honey. Be careful.

Come ask him.

Hi. Have you seen my wife, Carolina?

In the parking lot.

-Okay. Thank you. -Let's go.

-Dad! -Okay, honey, we're going.

Are you leaving now? Stay awhile.

I told you I can't. We'll talk later, okay?

Okay.

Dad, isn't that Mom's friend?

Bye, beautiful.

Mom, we were looking for you.

Here I am, honey.

Helena, go in the house.

What's wrong?

Do as you're told, Helena.

Honey, don't do this.

Don't get the wrong idea.

He came here because he had to...

Don't look at me like that. You have to believe me.

It's over, Carolina.

Why are you saying that, honey?

Let me explain. He came to bring something from the office...

-Let me explain, okay? -Do you think I'm an idiot?

Of course not, honey.

Give me five minutes to talk, okay?

I'm going home with Helena. You go by yourself.

Pablo.

Pablo!

Pablo, listen to me, please.

-Look, things aren't... -Helena!

-Carolina, enough. -Please...

-Listen to me! Listen to me! -Helena! What's wrong?

Okay, enough, stop!

What's the matter with you?

I can't believe you're fighting in this house.

We have journalists here.

Helena has disappeared.

-I thought you were gone. -Yes, but I can't find Helena.

-Did you see her? -No, I didn't.

The last time I saw her she was with you.

We can't find her.

I'll look in the kitchen. Sometimes she wants something sweet.

-Excuse me. -We can help, if you want.

-Right. -Thank you very much.

Okay. Go ahead.

-Helena! -Pablo.

Helena!

Cover me with Mejía. I'll go look for her.

-Okay? -Okay, don't worry.

I'm sorry, have you seen...

Well, the only little girl here. Have you seen her?

-De la Torre's daughter? -Yes.

She went out with her father.

-Did she come back? -No, only he and that lady returned.

Okay. Thank you.

-If you see her, tell me, please. -Okay.

Hi, how are you? Have you seen Helena?

-Pablo... -No?

-Do you know where she is? -Pablo, give me five minutes.

Hi, how are you? Have you seen Helena, my little daughter?

Remember? The one dressed in blue.

-Pablo... -Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Aren't you worried about Helena?

Yes, but this house is huge. She can be in any...

Excuse me, have you seen Helena, my daughter?

No.

Pablo, please.

Dad, help!

Help, I slipped and fell!

Dad! Mom! Help!

-Heli! -Help! Analía!

-Analía, here! -Heli!

-Heli, where are you? -Down here!

-Down there where, honey? -Come quickly, it hurts a lot!

-It hurts a lot. -Down where?

-Down where? -Here, look! Right here!

Here, look!

-Wait... -It hurts a lot!

-Okay, honey, okay. -I can't get up. It hurts a lot.

I can't get up, my foot hurts a lot.

Okay. It's okay.

I was running and I didn't see where I was going because I was crying.

-I'll pick you up, okay? -Okay.

I'm going to pull you.

Okay.

Okay, done.

Why were you crying?

I heard my parents having a huge fight.

Honey, don't worry, they'll be fine, okay?

I'll pull you again.

Have you seen my daughter? A 12-year-old girl, dressed in blue.

Pablo, please...

Stop, Carolina! Enough!

What happened? Pablo!

-They found her. -Where? Pablo!

Get up. On top of me.

-That's it. Good. -It hurts.

Helena!

-Pablo! -Hele... Analía!

-Where are you? -Pablo!

-No... -Hey, what's going on?

-Come. Okay, on top of me. -Helena!

-Come here. -Helena! What happened?

Dad.

Grab her. Grab her, she's slipping.

-Okay. -I don't have support.

Come, honey. Lean this way.

-Grab her. -Honey! What happened?

Be careful.

-I fell and Analía rescued me. -Okay, honey. Hold me.

-Hold me. -Hold onto your dad.

-How are you? -Fine, don't worry.

-Go ahead. -What were you doing here?

-It hurts a lot! -Okay, honey, it's okay.

-Okay. -Come.

I'll take off her shoes, her foot is swollen.

-My foot! My foot! -Okay. It's okay, honey.

Calm down, okay?

-Let's go home. -Give me the other shoe. Wait.

-Okay. -My foot.

-Okay, little girl. -It's okay.

-Come on. -Honey!

-Ready? -Go.

Honey, hold me, hold me.

Hold on. That's it.

Okay, honey, it's okay.

-It hurts a lot. -Honey!

-It's okay, honey. -Dad, it hurts!

We'll take you to the doctor.

-What happened? -What happened to you?

She slipped and fell on her knee. She should go to the doctor.

-Yes, let's take her now. -Honey.

Analía, can you come too?

What are you saying, honey? Look at her.

See you later, then?

I promise, I will.

Come with Mommy and Daddy, sweetie.

-Thank you. -My pleasure.

-Bye. -Thank you.

Bye. Get well.

-It hurts a lot, Dad. -I know, honey.

Could you call Isabella? I wouldn't want to go in like this.

-Sure. -Thank you.

Give me what I asked for,

but no orange and put a cherry in it, please.

An old-fashioned with a cherry?

Two drinks, please, okay?

Let me introduce myself.

Mark Salinas. We've already met, but not properly.

Rosario de Mejía.

Nice to meet you.

I've always known that Mr. Mejía was a lucky guy,

but now I can confirm it. With all due respect, you're very pretty.

Cheers.

Cheers.

-It's not bad. -Not bad at all.

Excuse me, it's my daughter.

Hello, Sofía, at last.

Shut your mouth and listen up, you piece of trash,

or you'll never get to see your daughter again.

-Who is this? -I said shut up!

We'll call you later to tell you what to do

to get your daughter back in one piece and not just bits of her.

Please, don't hurt her.

That depends on you.

If you get the police involved,

we'll start sending her fingers.

What's wrong?

What's wrong? Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I'll postpone the trip to Chile. Heli needs me.

I can take care of her, as I've always done.

It's important to be together as a family at this time.

You know very well that you two are the most important things in my life.

I think Chile can wait.

-I think... -You're not talking like a mom

worried about her daughter, but like a woman with guilt.

I don't feel guilty because nothing happened with Mauricio.

Don't get the wrong idea, Carolina. I'm not stupid.

I told you once and I'm telling you again. It's over.

I want a divorce.

Clearly, Pablo and that woman were fighting.

Do you think they'll divorce?

-No. -It'd be great.

Please, don't say that.

How can you say that? There's a little girl involved.

-Okay, but... -Heli was super worried.

-Yes, but... -I found Marta Montañez's address.

I got it from the consultancy's employee fund.

No way. You've made my day.

If you want, I can go talk to her.

Yes, please.

But that's not all. Look.

This was the Engineer 30 years ago.

His name was Jairo Mendez and he was in the army

as part of the bomb squad. Then, he was discharged

because he was stealing material from those bombs.

Then, he disappeared and reappeared as Mejía's associate.

Nice job.

-Bomb squad? -Exactly.

I think it's quite a coincidence that he was in that squad.

And they used the same explosives to kill Lieutenant Bahamon.

And me, supposedly.

Do you think this guy placed that bomb?

-Obviously, Mejía ordered him to do it. -But we can't be sure.

Okay, but it's clear that this guy is very dangerous.

Hi, Guillermo, how...

Do you think that I won't...

I'll be right there.

-What happened? -Sofía was kidnapped.

-Do you know who did it? Did they ask? -No.

No.

No.

I have to think on my way there.

I wonder if this will impact the campaign.

-Think of how to use it. -Exactly.

I think that Mejía's political past can be useful.

Sure. Didn't he promote an anti-kidnapping law a few years ago?

Look into that and send the information to my phone.

Wait. Are you really going to use Sofía's kidnapping?

I didn't kidnap her.

We won't soften up at this point.

I'll remind you that I came here to become essential to Mejía

and then destroy him. So yes, Benji.

I'll do whatever I need to do.

We came here to support her, not to question her.

Right, but I'm worried that what she'll do might go wrong.

If that happens, we're here to support her,

to do whatever it takes to fix it.

I told you it was easy.

But we could have asked for the money right away, right?

To be done with this whole thing.

Yes, but relax. There are steps.

First, you must make them pee their pants so nobody says a word.

That way, they do what you want.

Hey, Ñejo.

You've done this before, huh?

A couple of times.

Why don't you take advantage of having your ex tied up right there

and reconcile?

Don't be stupid.

I'll tell you something, Ñejo.

Sofía can't find out that I'm involved in this, okay?

Cheers.

-Cheers. -Absolutely.

I don't understand why they don't call and ask for something.

Why they don't say anything about my sister?

I'm going crazy.

Getting drunk won't help.

I'm not like you. You feel nothing!

Someone has to keep a cool head,

and I'm solving this. The Engineer's on it.

Aren't you going to call the police?

If we do that, they'll deliver Sofía in pieces.

Engineer,

-your report. -Nothing, sir,

but I have all my people working on it.

I wonder if this will be the same loser

as that person recording my son on the farm?

By the way, I never found out who did me that favor.

My God, can we focus on Sofía?

You only have to pay what they ask.

Engineer, what do you think?

Paying is the most logical impulse,

but it doesn't guarantee anything. They could ask for a second ransom.

In your opinion, what's the best solution?

Can't you see that if we call the police they'll kill her?

If they kill her, they lose. They won't get any money.

What a genius. I mean, such a great comfort.

I want results, Engineer.

Results.

Yes, sir.

What do you think? What would you advise me to do?

As much as I hate to say it,

there's much more than Sofía's life at stake here.

Your political program is at stake.

Everything you have worked for.

What does that mean?

It means that the people who have kidnapped Sofía

know perfectly well that your husband

promoted an anti-kidnapping law some years ago.

And I was heavily criticized for that.

They said it was crazy to freeze

the assets of kidnapped people's relatives.

That it was sentencing them to death because they couldn't pay the ransom.

And my detractors used it to make me look like a callous person,

someone who didn't care about people's pain.

I assure you, the whole country will be watching

what you do now as you live through this tragedy.

Am I hearing this right?

Do you want to use my daughter's kidnapping

as a political strategy?

Rosario, do you think this is easy for me?

It's about my daughter, but you should also take into account

that we have suffered blows from people who seek to end my career.

The people who have Sofía want me to do

the exact opposite of what I've always preached.

What you'll do is pay the ransom without listening to any advice!

That's what you'll do!
