A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Mommy!

Mejía for president, gentlemen!

Thank you for the favor, Miranda.

How much longer could you delay it?

Excellent.

Hey, well, thanks.

I owe you a beer and a chat, like when we were in college.

Yes, sure.

All right. Okay, bye.

Things between Rosario and Mejía couldn't be worse.

Jealousy, infidelity... Hate.

Why are you worried? It's the best thing that happened to us.

We can use what's going on with Rosario.

I'm not worried.

I feel bad for Sofía. She seems really affected by it.

Don't grow too fond of her, that's how you make mistakes.

It's time to get Rosario on our side.

Santiago gave her all the evidence against Mejía.

And she's taking care of it.

But?

To be honest, I'm not sure her hatred for Mejía

is enough for her to give me all that.

Plus, she's got a lot more at stake.

Like her children.

We know how much she protects them, too.

The way Rosario feels is helpful to us,

but we need something else.

I should meet with her.

Who's Rosario dating now?

Surely not Mark. They're done.

Follow her.

Take pictures and videos. Anything that could help us.

We have to get that evidence.

EXPIRES 12/23 FLUOXETINE

How are you?

I'm fine.

-And you? -Hanging in there.

-Are you still mad at me? -Listen to this guy, so convinced.

I was looking for you.

Why? What for?

To take you to dinner. I'll pick you up at your place in La Herradura.

Listen, if what you're looking for is to exchange courtesies,

you don't have to.

I took you out to dinner to thank you for what you did with Otoniel.

-Chill, though. Don't get the wrong idea. -Wait.

I wanted to ask you if you have seen Toto.

Why are you asking? Because Toto flaked on your boss?

-Yes, he's quite upset. -Yes, I know that.

He told me himself.

I don't understand. Why are you also telling me?

Are you his secretary? Let me know if you're taking my job.

Since you live in the same neighborhood I thought,

perhaps, you could speak to him and he could get another chance.

I can help you out.

No, let Toto pay the consequences. He lost his chance.

I'm not trying to talk to Mejía again, or even get you involved.

Too bad.

Have you really not spoken with him?

No. I think he just took off, that's why he's nowhere to be found.

Anyway, I'm not with him, so I don't care. And so what?

Is the interrogation over? Or do you want to play truth or dare?

These two beauties have wide angle lenses.

Meaning, they cover more space.

Okay. How does this work?

Turn it on and hide it where no one sees it.

-Okay. It's real-time recording, right? -Both.

If you want them saved, I'll give them to you in a flash drive.

And if you want to stream it live,

you can do so from a link that I'll send you. Okay?

Place them well so that they don't see them.

All right, Benji. Thank you.

What do you need that for?

I'll explain once it's clear, okay?

-Okay. -You look beautiful.

What's the matter?

I'm going to do what you asked with Rosario.

Do you know where she is?

It's hard without a GPS,

but I hope her routine's the same and she's at the club.

Okay.

Be careful. Let me know if anything happens.

Bye.

Dorita doesn't have any info on Toto.

That's what she said, but she could be lying.

You said you were sure she had nothing to do

with Ms. Guerrero's plans.

I'm not sure anymore.

This whole issue with Analía, and now this man who escaped

from you... it's making me doubt everything.

And everyone.

Look, Guillermo, I want to introduce you to Dora Serna.

She's the community leader who,

unfortunately, wasn't able to make it when we filmed the testimonies.

Where were you, Dorita? We waited for you.

-Oh, just a family issue. -Oh, really? What kind would that be?

Though, there's someone else...

who could know something about Dorita.

Wait here.

What a face...

It's hunger. I'm tired... I don't know.

-Let's grab a coffee? -Question, Liliana.

You brought Dorita to the campaign, right?

No, it was Analía.

Oh, but when you saw her here...

Dorita,

I got the impression you two knew each other.

Yes, we did.

In fact, it was Dorita who introduced me to Analía.

Look at that, how interesting. How did that happen?

Did you know...

that Dorita has been friends with Analía for who knows how long?

No, but if you want, I can investigate her, sir.

No.

You haven't been useful lately. Plus...

I need to be careful when getting

any information on Analía from Dorita.

And it's been a while since I've been around town...

I have to put up my defenses.

Hello?

Hello, how are you?

I have good news.

Oh, yes? Tell me.

I did great at the interview you recommended me for.

There are two more steps, but I think I'll make it.

Good. I'm happy it went well.

-It's a good company. -You're an angel.

Thank you for thinking about me.

Is Helena there yet?

No. She's not here yet.

Remember she has after school activities today.

But I'm here making her some delicious food

that'll re-energize her.

Pablo?

Hello?

Yes.

Listen, I'll be getting back late from work today.

Okay? Call me if you need anything.

And, again, congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Really, thank you so much for everything you do for me.

-Bye. -Bye.

Hi, I need a favor.

All right, it's confirmed.

Mark and Rosario are still together.

Remember when that idiot said he couldn't forget you?

That doesn't matter. I don't care about Mark at all.

What I do care about is getting the best use out of this.

Let's go.

Here.

-Hello? -Rosario, how are you?

This is Analía Guerrero.

What a surprise. Why the call?

I need to see you. It's to our mutual advantage.

Is it about my husband?

As I said, it's very much to our advantage.

I'll be at a tennis class tomorrow morning. Meet me at the club,

Guillermo isn't there at that time.

Okay, sure. Rosario, I ask you, please,

don't tell anyone.

-No problem. -Thank you.

Is something wrong?

No. My insurance adviser has some proposition for me.

Let's not waste any more time, then.

Let's go.

-Hello... -Do you still have that oatmeal?

What are you talking about?

-Pablo, what's the matter? -Don't lie, Carolina! Stop.

-Why are you yelling at me? -You're poisoning my daughter!

Hold on.

You're not going to accuse me. How can you say...

Because I have a hidden camera recording what you do!

And while you and I were talking,

I was at the office and saw

-you putting sugar in the oatmeal. -I'm not... crazy...

-What kind of mom are you? -I'm not crazy. How dare you

-say I'd make my child sick! -You're sick!

-How dare you! -The cough syrup was a lie!

And you saying my mom was mistaken was a lie. It was all lies.

You know what? I won't listen to the crap

-you're saying. -Yes you will. You know why?

You could've killed my daughter, Carolina.

What are you talking about? I didn't do anything, Pablo!

I haven't done anything. Why are you...

I have all the proof here, I'm reporting you.

Pablo, no! Pablo, hold on! Hold on!

I just want to take care of my daughter.

I will never forgive what you did to me!

No. No, sweetheart, hold on. Hold on, sweetie.

Let me explain. I love you, sweetheart.

Well, I hate you!

Helena, sweetheart, come here.

Come here, relax. Sweetie, calm down.

Sweetie, don't say that. Your mom didn't mean to hurt you, okay?

-She almost killed me! -I know!

-She fed me things that made me sick. -I know, baby. She's not well.

Look at me! Helena, look at me.

She's not aware of what's going on, okay?

And we have to be strong, sweetheart.

You're a good girl. Listen to me.

Sweetie, look at me! Look at me.

We have to be strong, baby.

-I know you love her. -Not anymore, I don't love her.

Listen to me, we're a family, she'll always be your mom,

-sweetie, okay? -Sweetheart...

Always, right? Always. And family always helps each other

in the good times and the bad. And this is the bad, Helena.

Okay? Contrary to what you think right now, she loves you.

-Sweetheart. -Well, she should show it.

Sweetheart, look at me. Baby...

You know what Grandpa said before he left?

-Do you know? Do you remember? -About spite?

Precisely.

Look at me...

Sweetheart...

It hurts the one who feels it, my dear!

And you won't fall for that because you're a smart girl.

Don't let anger get the best of you, sweetheart. Okay?

Okay, little one? We'll get out of this together.

We'll fix it together. And we'll help Mom.

Sweetheart...

Listen to your dad. I...

I'm not doing very well... I need help.

You said the same thing last time we took you to the doctor.

You were supposedly better and now, look, you're just as crazy.

I didn't know I was this sick.

I didn't know I was this sick. My dad...

All right, sweetie. Come here.

Did your dad do the same thing to you?

No...

No, but...

My dad had horrible moments of depression...

and he would treat me really badly.

And I never had a mom to defend me.

Or to explain what was going on.

You, instead, are lucky to have a wonderful father.

Forgive me...

Please, I ask you both to forgive me.

I... I need help, please.

Please, forgive me.

Forgive me, forgive me.

Listen,

the party has nothing to worry about.

I already gave my declaration. They didn't imprison me.

In other words, I came out on top

after the De la Torre family's unfounded accusations.

That's not what the word is, Santiago.

We want to know if the party is at risk.

And if it is,

we don't need you getting us involved in anything.

Come on, Saúl, please.

Tell Mantilla there's nothing to worry about.

The party doesn't have to be affected.

Listen, this is just a media circus.

We'll be talking about something else next week,

-and this will be forgotten. -I hope so.

-Please. -Mr. Santiago Castiblanco,

you are under arrest for embezzlement of funds.

-Excuse me? -You have the right to remain silent.

-What is this, Santiago? -No, don't bother...

Anything you say can be used against you.

-But, Santiago! -Please, this is a mistake.

I already gave my declaration.

You have the right to a lawyer. Follow us, please.

I know my rights.

-Santiago... -Relax.

This can't be happening.

This is a mistake, don't worry.

Hey, don't. I can walk on my own. Stop.

This is a mistake, don't worry about anything.

What you told me happened with your wife

coincides with the symptoms of a syndrome called Münchausen.

And what is it?

It's when a person chooses to make their child sick

so as to get attention from relatives and close ones.

But, Doctor, do people overcome something like that?

They do in many cases, but it requires a lifelong treatment.

What's good about all this, is that Carolina has admitted herself.

No, Doctor.

It's not like that. We're screwed, because...

Carolina had a nervous breakdown recently.

They gave her tranquilizers, then I noticed she didn't take them.

Even though "nervous breakdown" is not a medical term,

it does tell us that there's a mental health issue.

It had been buried, and it requires treatment.

Give her the benefit of the doubt.

Keep supporting her so she can get better.

-When do we meet again? -Tomorrow...

the day after. Whenever, 24/7.

Attention! Breaking News.

We have confirmed Santiago Castiblanco's capture,

campaign director for the presidential candidate, Guillermo León Mejía,

from the Democratic Force party.

Whatever you need, just...

Let's see...

-Are you watching the news? -Yes! I was about to call you.

Pablo kept his promise from the radio debate.

They locked up Santiago.

That's right.

Now we'll see Mejía's reaction.

Whatever he does, this is a real blow

that could put us in the lead.

Well played.

Thank you, Doctor.

Forgive me, please.

I'll change.

I will show you, with actions, that I'm serious,

that things will be different.

Please tell Heli that I love her with all my heart.

And that I beg her to forgive me.

She knows.

But commit to this fully...

and get better, Carolina.

-Okay. -I'm doing all this for her.

First, do it for yourself.

Ramiro, hi.

I called you but I didn't get through.

Oh, I'm sorry, I had no reception. What's up?

That was excellent with Santiago.

What happened?

Don't you know? They arrested him a couple of hours ago.

Well, I was expecting a good outcome, but not this quick.

Well, congratulations! You did an excellent job.

I'll see you tomorrow,

as we get closer to our objective every day.

-All right? -Okay. Bye.

-Your whiskey on the rocks. -Thank you very much, Dorita.

You're always so attentive.

But taste it and see if you like it.

-It's perfect. -Is it?

I was thinking I'd promote you to the Human Relations department.

Oh, meaning?

I learned that Liliana Camargo got to the campaign through Analía.

But I understand it was you who introduced them.

-Am I right? -Yes, that's right.

The thing is...

I'm a big fan of Liliana.

She would spend a lot of time in my neighborhood doing...

social work, with mothers who are heads of their families.

So I'd spend all my time at those meetings,

and you'd walk out of there cheery, inspired to work, with ideas.

You'd walk out empowered.

That's how she says it. That's the word everyone uses, right?

Empowered.

And you're a great example of that word.

Thank you.

Dad, did you hear about my uncle?

The police took him away. It's all over the news.

Dorita.

Dorita, please step outside and close the door.

Dad, what are you doing?

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

Okay.

We can't see him today.

You have to talk to him. Find a way,

and tell him not to mention my name for anything.

I know they'll come for me next.

That won't happen.

I mean, Dad... How can you be so sure?

Because I'll get him the best lawyers, and your uncle...

will be out in a couple of days.

I'm busy.

Let them in.

Nothing will happen to you, and we need to act calmly.

Especially your uncle, who knows not to mention you or he'll be on his own.

Welcome, gentlemen. Please, take a seat.

-How are you Guillermo? -Very good.

We have to meet. Yes, I saw.

No, not there. Let's meet at my apartment, I'll head over there now.

Mejía was caught by surprise by his brother-in-law's arrest.

No. And then... The son is worse, he's really shaken up.

But then all those thugs in ties arrived,

the ones that spend hours locked up in the meeting room.

Good. Okay.

Dorita, thanks for the information.

I have Santiago exactly where I want him.

Now you have Rosario.

How will you convince her

to give you everything she has against Mejía?

Well, what Rosario cares about the most are her kids.

And Juan Mario is involved in Santiago's issue.

Right, but you asked Pablo not to turn him in for investigation.

But she doesn't know that.

Do you think she'll give in if you blackmail her?

-No. -I don't get it.

Then how is this useful to you?

From the start, Rosario and Santiago have been the most resistant towards me.

I don't engender trust. I don't trust them, either.

-Imagine that partnership. -Could be dangerous.

She has to believe I'm only after Mejía.

Okay, Saúl, calm down. Relax.

I know this is very upsetting for you, but calm down.

Guillermo, you have to address the situation.

You have to face the media.

I repeat, calm down, please. Listen, when you arrived,

I was writing the speech for the press conference.

I've already called the media.

You have nothing to worry about, really.

How can I not worry? This could fuck up our election.

For your heart, first off, Mariano.

Listen to me. Do you really think...

Do you think I will let anything affect our wonderful campaign?

You can be certain that I will do whatever is necessary

to bury this issue.

Relax!

Do you want something to drink?

-A little whiskey? -I'll pass.

The things that happen to this family are incredible!

-Everything is a problem! -Okay, Mom.

Carolina's been admitted, at least.

Well, hopefully she won't escape, right?

No... I can't fathom what she did.

And, yes, I know she's sick and all that. But, really,

-it's very hard to forgive her. -Mom, please!

Don't let Helena hear you.

I don't want her to have hatred for her mom.

What's going on with Santiago, David?

Hopefully he won't escape, either, right?

He'll stay in jail for a long time.

At least until this is over.

Oh, I don't know. God, I don't know.

Guillermo was involved with Santiago in the construction company.

So he won't just sit there.

He'll avoid being involved at all costs.

Tell me what you're doing to get me out.

Relax.

You've only been there a couple of hours.

I'm on top of it.

Guillermo, you have people in power who owe you favors. Use them!

I need to defend myself, but not from jail.

I can't perform miracles, Santiago. Everything takes time.

But I will get you out. No doubt about it!

I have to go.

Are you ready?

Let's go.

Mom, I was in jail once.

I know I won't make it in there.

I'd rather be dead, I swear.

Don't say that.

I'll speak to your uncle tomorrow and we'll analyze the situation.

The situation is simple, we're fucked!

You know my dad, the party is pressuring him.

He's capable of betraying my uncle and sacrificing me

just to save himself. Whatever it takes!

What we have to do

is take that evidence you have and give it to Analía.

What?

She knows you have evidence against him,

and she contacted me to help her get it.

How could you have talked about this with her?

The family is at stake here and I have to protect it,

not just you.

-But I'm the one who's fucked. -And your uncle? He's protecting you.

Obviously, I don't want anything to happen to my uncle.

But they can pressure him there and get information...

Then it will be worse for everybody.

Honey, please! Please, don't leave like this.

What do you want, Mom? For me to stay so he can destroy...

I can't stand it. I can't! I don't know how you do it.

-Let her go. -This is your fault.

It's her fault.

I didn't raise my kids to be abnormal.

-Engineer, what do you think? -To pay is the logical impulse.

But it doesn't guarantee anything.

What's the best solution, according to you?

Don't you see that if we talk to the police they'll kill her?

You want to use my daughter's kidnapping as a political strategy?

Rosario, do you think this is easy for me?

What you're going to do

is pay the ransom and forget about their advice!

That's what you're going to do!

-Why is he tied up? -For his own protection.

-He's a threat to himself... -Let him go. I said let him go!

Help me! Let him go!

Get this off him!

Let's go, sweetheart. Don't just stand there. Help out.

Help me out!

That's it. Let's go.

You'll pay for this. Do you hear me?

Don't make me, on top of everything, ruin our agreement.

Let go of me. You're hurting me.

Go ahead.

See what happens to you.

Do you think I'm scared?

You should be.

Give me the evidence, I'll give it to Analía.

Then, what? What do you know about that woman's plans?

The only thing I can guarantee you

is that she hates Dad more than you.

Do you know what your dad will do to us

if he finds out we gave her evidence against him?

Do you know what he's capable of?

Mom, don't you think it's time that he feels afraid for once,

and not us?

No.

I don't trust anybody, especially not her.

I'll talk to your uncle first... I won't give you anything until...

until the situation is clear.

Mr. Mejía, what will happen now that your campaign director

has been detained by the D.A.?

I feel very sad about this situation,

but I have to honor my word to the country.

What do you mean by that, exactly?

I said that if Mr. Castiblanco was involved in any crime,

I would be the first to stand with the law. Now,

we have to recognize that this process is just beginning.

The authorities have to investigate, give a verdict.

I will visit Mr. Castiblanco tomorrow to explain

what his status is with the party and myself.

Which is what, exactly?

From now on, Mr. Santiago Castiblanco

will not work for, or have any ties to, my campaign and the Democratic Force.

Thank you very much for coming. That's all.

-But Mr. Mejía... -Mr. Mejía!

Okay. That's all.

My mom doesn't get it.

I told her it's time to give you

the evidence she has against my dad, but she said no.

-She doesn't want to. -What are you saying?

Well, that I had to tell her.

The only way my dad will defend my uncle,

is with that damn evidence.

When did you think it was okay to tell Rosario all this?

What don't you follow about keeping quiet

and not doing anything without asking me first?

You have to understand, I was desperate.

Now what?

Your mom has to understand she needs to do what I'm asking...

or all of you will be doomed.

These are the latest polls since the news spread.

People are withdrawing their support for the party.

We're a trending topic on all social media.

It's the only thing they're talking about.

It shows that Santiago being ousted from the campaign

and the party doesn't stop people from associating him with us.

This is just a passing story, like any scandal.

No, Guillermo! People won't forget

that your campaign director is corrupt.

They will, Liliana. This country is amnesiac.

Another scandal will overshadow this one.

What we need to do now is focus on the plan

against Pérez and De la Torre.

We're not the strongest in this area, but I've figured it out with politicians

and people from the private sector

who have the same vision for the country as we do.

Liliana, these elections are ours. I have no doubt about it.

I hope you don't, either.

Because I need you strong by my side.

What are you doing up?

Where were you?

With some girlfriends.

Did you hear about your uncle?

Yes.

Did you hear Dad's statement?

They took him off the campaign.

Incredible.

But, Mom, if they got him it's because the evidence against him is strong.

Your uncle is paying for your dad, and I won't allow that.

How so? How is Santiago involved

in what happened at the construction company?

Listen, honey. The only...

The only thing I want you to know...

is that your dad's an asshole. You don't know what he's capable of,

so I don't want you to get involved in this.

I'm going to figure this out with your uncle.

I won't let him be a victim of something so unfair.

This is all so weird.

Is this why Juan Mario called Dad a murderer?

No.

It's because your dad was involved in a murder,

Eugenia's housekeeper, many years ago.

Juan Mario and Sofía looked into it.

Who?

Darelis Junca.

She's always stuck in my head because the night of her death,

your dad came home with blood on his jacket.

You mean Dad...

No. I can't say for sure. The only thing...

that I know is they're memories from a time that should've opened my eyes,

but I was stupid to think that...

that my role was to protect the family.

I had you, your brother, I was expecting Sofía, and...

I burned the jacket.

I burned it and we...

We never spoke about it.

Listen, honey.

Your dad is a monster.

I'm the only one who can handle your uncle's situation.

Listen to me.

What happened is in the past, you understand?

We can't do anything about it.

I don't want you to talk about this with anyone, okay?

I'll figure out how to keep the family safe.

Sweetie, it's okay if you don't want to go to school.

I know you're very sad.

And I understand.

But we need to carry on...

while your mom is undergoing treatment.

All right, sweetie?

Don't worry. Go to work, okay? I'll stay with her.

All right, Heli. What would you say

if we go to the club later,

and we get that ice cream we like so much?

I haven't been there in a while.

Will you come with me?

-Yes. -You will? Oh, sweetheart!

-Why do you want to see me? -Well, what's with that greeting?

Do you know that I'm jeopardizing my career right now?

You'll want to risk even more

when you hear what I've come to propose to you.

I'm listening.

Let's work together.

Let's get Pérez to the presidency.

I have enough information to keep Mejía from winning the election.

Are you being serious?

If that's so, then you never cease to surprise me.

Do you know what the consequences are for political espionage?

Not just for me. It would end Pérez's campaign,

it would take down your dear Pablo. Everyone ends up in the same mud.

Sure, in life, everything has a consequence.

But there's also pros and cons.

-Yes. -It is true

that if they catch us, you'll lose your career. But if they don't...

you'll have seated a president.

And your career will skyrocket.

Especially for having done it against a strong opponent like Mejía.

Is what you have that good?

And are you that certain about it?

Really...

I don't want any games, okay?
