Original subtitles

[man] Mrs. Carranza, we armored your SUV,

not just against attacks with conventional weapons

but also against attacks with AK-47s and armor-piercing shells.

[Ana María] I want Camila to experience Mexico.

[Martin] I don't think it's a good idea for her to go right now. It's not safe.

I've taken precautions so we're safe.

[Martin] So did your dad, Moe.

[Ana María] He had a lot of enemies.

[Martin] Now you have his job.

And I need you with me.

Mendieta was trained by Mossad.

He has 15 years' experience working in Spain and South America.

[Ana María] You haven't worked in Mexico before?

No, ma'am.

[quietly] Even better.

[Mendieta] We installed Kevlar in the entire vehicle,

as well as metal plating on the doors and the trunk.

You want me to turn around and leave everything?

The way I did?

[Ana María] She'll be off to college soon.

[Mendieta] We reinforced all the windows with 12-millimeter polycarbonate glass.

[Ana María] What's next?

[Bernardo] The Los Zapotes Highway.

Go ahead and cancel it.

[Bernardo] You sure?

Joaquín will be mad. He won't just let you cancel the project.

I know what's at stake,

but I won't start my tenure as CEO bribing the Secretary of Economy.

This is our last chance to be all together.

-Don't play that card with me now. -It's not a card!

What about me?

Were you even gonna ask me what I think?

[Martin] Camila, honey, you don't have to go.

Dad, she needs us.

[Mendieta] We also installed run-flats in all the tires.

[Martin] What about college?

I'll still apply.

It'll give me something to put on my application.

You always say I need to stand out.

[Mendieta] And if we are ever cornered, we have a teargas system

that will prevent any assailants from getting near the vehicle.

[Ana María] With all this, Mendieta,

can you guarantee that my family and I will be safe?

[Martin groans]

[Camila moans]

[Martin] Mmm. I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

I love you.

I love you too.

-[Camila chuckles] -[Martin] Mmm.

Stop it.

Let's go.

[Martin laughs]

I'm gonna miss you.

-I'll see you soon. -Yes.

[Camila] I love you.

I love you.

[Mendieta] Ma'am, I can guarantee your SUV

has the best armoring technology on the market.

[Ana María] I don't know if hearing this makes me feel better, or more nervous.

Mom, I think we're being followed.

[Ana María] No, sweetheart. They work for Monarca.

[sighs]

You'll love the house.

It's close to an amazing museum district.

And your school isn't far either.

Did I tell you that's where I went to middle school?

[Camila] Wasn't that a Catholic school?

[Ana María] Yes, but that was 25 years ago.

-But there are no nuns, right? -Would I send you to a school run by nuns?

[Camila] Maybe you want me to have the full Mexican experience.

[Mendieta] Ma'am, no amount of armoring can guarantee

there won't be any attacks against you.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL PRODUCTION

[in English] Welcome.

[in English] Jesus, Mom, what are you, the president of Mexico?

[laughs] Do you like it? We could grow a vegetable patch down there.

Ro! Your sister's here.

[woman] Welcome, ma'am.

-Chio, how are you? -Fine, thank you.

This is my daughter, Camila.

-Oh, nice to meet you. -Hello.

-[Chio] Oh! -[Camila laughs]

Mr. Rodrigo is at practice, ma'am.

We'll see him later, then.

-I'm at your service, ma'am. Excuse me. -Thank you.

So? Do you like it?

[Ana María] Well, say something.

It's a beautiful house.

[in English] But do we really need so much space?

[sighs] No, we don't.

We'll come up with some way to use all this space.

Let's go to your room.

Rodrigo wanted this because it has a walk-in closet, but he let you have it.

You don't like it?

No, I like it a lot.

It's just that it's not what I expected.

I don't know,

but having all these armed guys around,

so many gates and electric fences...

It kind of feels like a prison, Mom.

It's for our safety.

Yeah, but nobody knows me.

I don't need bodyguards,

nor a driver.

Come.

I don't like it either,

but it's part of our new life. Hmm?

We have to be careful.

It's one thing to be careful, but this is...

We'll get used to it together.

OK.

[man] Good morning.

I thought everything was paused until the board meeting.

[man] So did I, but this came straight from the new CEO.

[scoffs]

NOTICE OF BID CANCELLATION

[ringing tone]

[cell phone ringing]

[cell phone ringing]

[cell phone ringing]

[Lourdes] Dad, call me back. It's urgent.

It's about the Los Zapotes Highway.

[heart rate monitor beeps]

[heart rate monitor beeps faster]

[heart rate monitor beeps faster]

[heart rate monitor beeps faster]

[gasping]

[groans]

[groaning]

[sighs]

-Good morning. -Morning.

Chio, would you pack me some fruit to go?

Certainly, sir.

[Rodrigo] Thank you.

Oh, don't worry about it. I have a glass here.

Thank you.

[in English] Relax, freak. It's her job.

Are you listening to yourself?

It didn't take you long to become spoiled.

[Camila] Hmm.

What do you think? Tied up or loose?

-Loose. -[Ana María] Good morning.

-Hi, Mom. -Morning, Mom.

Cam, eat some breakfast.

I don't want to be late. I'm meeting Pablo at the gate, so I should get going.

Don't forget to eat, OK?

Wait! Let me take a picture.

It's your first day at school!

-No. Bye! I love you! -Please!

[man] Good morning, miss.

I'll sit in the front.

-Excuse me? -Thank you.

But...

[Camila] Good morning.

-Where are you going? -Practice. Full-time job, remember?

I remember.

How's that going?

Great.

[Ana María] Hey!

Come here.

Mwah.

-When can I come see you again? -Not today, Mom.

Rodrigo!

I'll let you know, OK?

[beeping]

Was it a heart attack?

[man] Given what you told us, a panic attack is more likely.

No...

I don't get panic attacks.

[call phone ringing]

[call phone ringing]

What is it, darling?

Where are you? I've been calling you all morning!

-I'm having breakfast. What is it? -[Lourdes] Check your voicemail.

Ana María wants to cancel the highway project.

Zapotes?

[Lourdes] Yes, I have the paperwork.

Can you please tell me what my aunt is thinking?

[Joaquín sighs]

She's trying to find a way to screw us over.

I'm on my way.

[Joaquín grunts]

Sir, you should come to the hospital.

[scoffs] For a panic attack? Please.

-Nora, good morning. -Good morning.

Is everyone here?

They're in the conference room.

-Including Mrs. Cecilia and Mr. Andrés. -What about Joaquín?

He hasn't answered any calls since you were named CEO.

[Ana María sighs] That's ridiculous.

Ma'am, shall I schedule a decorator?

That's not necessary yet. Thank you, Nora.

[cell phone beeps]

RUBÉN: DO YOU STILL THINK WE HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT?

MONARCA FIELD WORKER FOUND MURDERED

[Camila] This is fine. Thank you.

[bodyguard] Wait, miss. Miss!

-Ramiro, really, it's not necessary. -I'm following orders, miss.

The gate's right here.

-It's for your safety. -You can't go in.

Excuse me.

You look so elegant!

Someone made an effort this morning.

Your father would be proud of you.

Don't let him down.

[boy 1] Here comes that stupid girl.

[boy 2] Look at her hair.

[girl] What happened to her? She's a mess.

I'll be back. Wait for me.

Hey, Cami!

-[Pablo] Hey! -[Camila] Hey, cuz!

[both laughing]

-How are you? -Great, you? I didn't see you outside.

It was crazy busy.

I can imagine. Come on. I've been talking about you.

[Pablo] Let me introduce you.

Guys, this is Camila, my cousin from L.A, the one I was talking about.

-[girl] Hi! -Hello, I'm Aurelio.

She arrived in Mexico yesterday.

Nerd alert. You should have gone to Tulum first.

It did cross my mind.

[girl] Obviously.

Dude, bring her to the dinner party.

Would you like to come?

Thanks, but I don't think I can make it.

Since I just got here, I still have a lot to unpack, but thanks anyway.

Next time, then.

[Aurelio] I hope so.

[school bell rings]

Maybe next time. Bye.

Where's the chemistry lab?

Yes, I'm going that way.

-Could you take me? -Yeah.

I don't know where anything is.

[Pablo] Welcome, cousin!

Monarca has to evolve.

We have to breathe new life into this project.

[Ana María] We have to think differently,

find a new way to do things.

We're going to foster integrity,

we're going to foster transparency

and accountability.

We'll also implement a system for anonymous reports.

Don't look so glum.

The idea is to protect people who want to report any irregularities,

not to persecute them.

[Ana María] From now on, operating within legal and ethical guidelines

will be mandatory for all of us who are part of Monarca.

Employees,

management...

and, of course, family members.

Corruption won't be tolerated in this company.

[Joaquín] Oh, yeah.

That's great. Just what we needed.

Incentivizing tattletales to waste more of our time on lawsuits.

Humph.

Give us a moment alone, please.

How dare you cancel my construction projects?

You did what?

[Joaquín] Miss CEO here

took a dump on the Los Zapotes Highway project.

Yes, I asked Bernardo to cancel all the projects involving the government.

[Cecilia] Is that wise, dear?

[Joaquín] Are you aware that Dad left us in the red after building the hotel

and expanding the distillery?

-Of course, Joaquín. -Really?

Without the next government payment,

we won't be able to settle our debts.

Do you think your bank cares about your stupid moral code?

They'll take everything.

The hotels, the construction company, and even Mom's foundation.

Ana, what you're trying to do is really, really nice.

But quite frankly, it's a load of shit.

[Cecilia] I'm sure you have a plan.

Working with the government means getting our hands dirty.

What country are we in?

-We need private companies. -[Joaquín] Oh, God.

You'll ruin us, you idiot.

Please, stop fighting.

[Cecilia] We're all on the same team.

Juan Manuel Pérez has an interesting construction project.

Fermín recommended us.

The project consists of building five hospitals in three years.

They haven't found anyone yet.

-Hospitals are profitable. -[Ana María] Thank you.

You two are witnesses.

[Joaquín] Today, Miss CEO here

flushed Monarca down the toilet.

[Cecilia] Tell me more about this.

[Andrés] Juan Manuel is uptight, but he's serious.

How far along is the deal?

They liked our initial proposal.

We're having a final meeting soon.

So, close the deal.

[Joaquín] Nora?

I need my sister's schedule this week.

Could you please send it to my assistant? I need to coordinate some meetings.

-Certainly, sir. -Thank you.

You're welcome.

You must get Joaquín on board. You can't cut him out.

I can't get Joaquín on board with anything, Mom.

As long as it's my idea, he'll hate it.

I only asked you for one thing.

First day?

[laughing] Is it that obvious?

No. But I would have remembered you.

[laughs]

Chemistry is the only subject I failed at my old school.

Were you expelled?

No. [laughing]

I moved here from L.A.

Ah, really?

-[Camila] Yeah. -That's cool.

[laughs]

[both giggling]

-[school bell rings] -I was influenced by writers who...

Cami!

I'll see you in a bit.

Yeah, all right.

Why are you talking to him?

Who, Carlos? I just met him, why?

His dad is a teacher here.

He has a scholarship.

So? [laughing]

Do you care who your friends' parents are?

Oh, don't be prejudiced.

You should give them a chance.

Speaking of which... come to the dinner.

No way, it's not my scene.

-Please, Cami! -Nuh-uh.

As a favor to me.

Why do you care if I come?

Aurelio will nag me if you don't.

[Pablo] Plus, you'll make friends. Please.

[sighs]

All right, but I'm doing it for you, OK? Don't use me like this again!

I know! I owe you one.

Oh! And I'm bringing Carlos.

No way, Camila.

Take it or leave it.

Fine, I'll send the address.

Bye.

You called me, ma'am?

Mendieta.

It's about a delicate matter. I need your full discretion.

Certainly.

I need you to get me a private detective.

I just moved to the city. I don't know who I can trust yet.

Don't worry. I'll sort it out with a few phone calls.

-Thank you. -Excuse me.

-[Joaquín] Did you like it? -Not bad for someone so traditional.

[Joaquín] What? Did I hurt you?

Who were you getting even with?

We're always getting even with someone or other.

[Joaquín] Aren't you?

Hmm.

[laughs]

[Joaquín] Hey...

do you know Juan Manuel Pérez?

[woman] A little.

We worked together for a while at the Business Council.

Did you?

Does he have any weaknesses?

His weakness is his strength.

[woman] He's an honest man.

Trust me, he's not your type.

[Joaquín] How are you?

Fine, thank you. Hello, Joaquín.

I know it's late, but I'm sorry about your father.

Thank you.

[Ana María] Hello. I have an appointment with Juan Manuel Pérez.

I'm Ana María Carranza.

Where's Ana María?

That's why I'm here. She's sorry, but she can't make it today.

The meeting isn't here, Mrs. Carranza.

Your office called to move it to the golf club.

My office?

Mr. Joaquín Carranza's office.

[Juan] Is she all right?

Yes, she's fine.

But I wanted to talk about this business deal.

That's nice, but I've been dealing with Ana María.

Maybe we should reschedule, so we can...

I saw the budget she sent you.

It's not bad, eh?

No, it's not bad.

But it could be better.

-Really? -Yes.

Why don't you give me some time to write up a more "creative" budget?

-We could work in some discounts... -Mm-hmm.

Some costs we could split, do you know what I mean?

[Juan sighs, laughs]

[laughing]

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Maybe my sister didn't tell you, but this is how we do things.

But if you can't see how this will benefit you, it's your loss.

Let me be honest.

I agreed to meet with Ana María only because I respect Fermín,

and he told me things were different at Monarca.

And now you show up with this shit?

I only want to help, Juan Manuel.

You know I don't play dirty.

[laughing]

Oh, please. [laughs]

We all play dirty, you're just better at hiding it.

Good to see you.

Tell Ana María not to bother contacting me again.

Juan Manuel, I beg you to reconsider.

Why don't we talk about this face to face?

Of course I have control of Monarca!

Goodbye.

[elevator bell rings]

[groans]

We're all set.

All I need is for you to sign these,

and the Los Zapotes project will be officially cancelled.

I just talked to Juan Manuel. Joaquín sabotaged the deal.

[contemptuous laugh]

How can I clean up Monarca if Joaquín keeps fucking it up?

[jazz music playing]

[Camila] Amazing.

What did you say this place is called?

The Anahuacalli Museum.

Designed by Diego Rivera.

[Camila laughs]

I can't believe it.

How did they get this place?

The same way you get anything in this country:

with money.

The worker that Joaquín questioned

turned up dead in Tequila with a bullet to the head.

Just like Dad.

Give it a rest, you'll make us a target for the Bajio Cartel.

What if it wasn't them?

[exhales deeply]

I'm hiring someone to look into Dad's murder.

They'll look into everyone.

The cartel, his former partners, Monarca's employees...

and Joaquín.

Joaquín is crazy, he's sick,

but he's not a murderer.

Do you know what he did a few days after Dad offered me Monarca?

He sent two thugs to my hotel.

What?

Two thugs came out of nowhere.

I was asleep! Andrés, they threw tear gas at me--

-How do you know it was him? -He told me himself, Andrés.

Still, he couldn't have murdered Dad.

[Ana María sighs]

[sighs]

Joaquín is rotten.

Why can't anyone else fucking see it?

[pop music plays]

[Camila] Good evening. Thank you.

If Diego Rivera could see this, he'd beat them up.

-[Carlos] Let me help you. -[Camila] Thanks.

[Camila] Oh!

Cami!

-[Camila] What's up, cousin? -Hey!

[Pablo] How are you?

-Fine, you? -I'm great.

-I'm so glad to see you. -Thank you.

-[subdued] Hey. -Hey.

[girl] Cami, you look so cute. Here.

Thank you.

-Hi! -Hi.

-Here are your seats. -Thanks.

-OK, thanks. -[Pablo] We're about to start.

[Ana María] I could tell she was nervous.

First day and all.

Are you OK?

-What's wrong? -[Martin] My editor called me today.

I thought he was gonna give me a decision on my new book proposal, but...

FORBES ANNUAL BUSINESS FORUM

And?

Instead he wants to meet me.

[Ana] That doesn't sound very good.

[Martin] It doesn't.

It means he's scared.

He's gonna drop me.

You don't know that.

[Martin] Come on! You actually think he just wants to congratulate me in person?

Oh, babe, I wish I was there.

[Martin] Well, I guess you have more important things to deal with.

Why are you so against this?

[girl 1] The excitement after the concert.

And he's not homeless.

[girl 2] Asshole!

[Camila] Uh... I want to apply to the journalism program at Columbia University.

That's cool.

Your mom's a journalist, right?

Yeah, but right now she's working for Monarca.

[Aurelio] Hey, Camila!

I started to follow you on Instagram and I saw something about a protest.

Yeah, that's where I got arrested.

[Aurelio] No way, that's crazy.

I mean, they arrested me and 30 other people.

Your mom probably got them to release you immediately.

[Camila] No, not really.

[Aurelio] Carlitos here also has influential parents.

He gets discounts on books

with his dad's faculty ID.

[laughing] Good to know. I actually need some books.

She already knows.

[girl] Wait, wait.

I was going to pay for dinner with my daddy's credit card,

but I have a better idea:

-credit card roulette. -[all] Ooh!

Yeah!

[laughing]

I'm game.

-Take out your card, Carlitos. -You know the rules. You lose...

-...you pay. -[boy] It's on.

I'll cover Cami.

[Aurelio] Where's your card, Carlitos?

That's enough.

Don't be a grinch. If he's broke, why did he come?

[laughing]

Carlos!

[Aurelio] Oh, please.

Seriously, Pablo?

Carlos, I'm sorry.

I had no idea they were like this.

They can all go to hell.

[sighs] Carlos...

Oh! Damn it, Pablo.

Wow! I figured you'd be too busy with your war on corruption.

That war starts with you, so I had to come.

-[Joaquín laughs] -Excuse me.

You scared her!

You'd like her, she has a non-profit.

Ah! Right, since women are only fit for charity work,

not for running companies. Am I wrong?

Your words, sister. Not mine.

I talked to Juan Manuel.

Really? What did he say?

Is he here tonight?

I really tried to work with you...

[Joaquín] Uh-huh.

...because Mom asked me to.

But you're toxic.

Is that why you came here? To lecture me?

[Ana María] No.

I came here to fire you.

[laughing] Seriously?

[laughing]

You're out of Monarca for making illegal offers to potential clients.

You can't fire me.

[laughing]

I just did, Joaquín.

I told you,

Monarca won't tolerate any sort of corruption.

Where were you?

What the fuck?

Calm down, it was a joke. It was all paid for beforehand.

I came here as a favor to you, and this is how you treat my guest?

He's just a bitter peasant.

You're unbelievable.

Do you really want to fit in with these people so badly?

Come on, Pablo.

Cami...

-[Camila] Nice joke. -Camila!

[Camila] Goodnight.

-[Pablo] Are you leaving? -[Camila] Yes, I am.

Your bodyguards already secured the area, Mrs. Carranza.

My dad didn't die of a heart attack like the media reported.

We found him with three gunshot wounds.

Two in the chest, one in the forehead.

They also cut up his face.

That sounds like the cartel.

He had many enemies: the cartel, politicians, business competitors.

Family members?

I want you to look into everyone.

Especially my brother Joaquín.

[panting]

[heart rate monitor beeps]

[heart rate monitor beeps faster]

ANDRÉS: YOU FIRED JOAQUÍN? ARE YOU CRAZY?

[heart rate monitor beeps faster and faster]

[panting]

[gasping]

[gasping]

[breathing rapidly]

[breathing rapidly]

[ringing tone]

[sighs] For fuck's sake.

[breathing heavily]

Hey...

Listen, I need your help.

[inhales deeply, exhales]

Hound told me you were here.

I turned off my cell phone.

I needed to get away from things.

Your mom used to help me do it.

[Lourdes] She had a gift.

What is it?

Grandma is livid because my aunt fired you.

I'm quitting tomorrow.

No.

No, what?

You're not quitting.

[Joaquín] I need the exact opposite.

Get close to your aunt.

Do you want to go in?

No.

[groans]

[Andrés] No way, Ana María. You were going to investigate him, not fire him!

I made the best decision for the future of Monarca, Andrés.

[Andrés] Without consulting us?

You have some nerve.

[Agustín] Hello, Joaquín.

Come in, son.

I'm sorry to say that your sister is crazier than your father.

Thanks, Uncle.

[woman on TV] Is it too much that I have tried to make those around me

pay for the damage they caused me?

[man on TV] Have you ever thought, if I may ask

about the pain she has caused herself...

-Hey. -Hi, Mom.

[man on TV] It would never justify...

[Agustín] Ana María is out of control.

Unless you stop her, she'll only get worse.

No, the worst thing is I let her get to me to the point where I almost died.

I thought I was having a heart attack.

The paramedics checked me over thoroughly,

and concluded it was only a panic attack.

[Joaquín] But it helped me.

Because there was a moment when I felt

that I was close to death.

[Joaquín] And that made me see things

from a different perspective.

I'm now considering

alternatives that I wouldn't have otherwise.

[woman on TV] Tell him to take over that man's will.

[Ana María] How was school?

Don't even ask.

And you?

How was work?

Don't even ask.

[Agustín] What's your plan?

Attack Monarca from all sides until the stock plummets.

I need to give Monarca and my family just that:

a panic attack that feels just like a heart attack.

Do you think it will work?

Our Mexican adventure?

-[Ana María sighs] -[Joaquín] We'll devaluate them.

Squeeze them dry.

Until they have no choice but to sell some of their shares to survive.

I don't think Ana María, Andrés or your mom will sell anything,

unless Monarca is truly on the brink of bankruptcy.

It will be, Uncle.

With your connections, her money and my experience in the company,

we're going to ruin them.

They won't even know how to defend themselves.

[Joaquín] My family doesn't know who they're messing with.

I use men when I need them,

and discard them when I'm done.

[Joaquín] Ana María will regret ever coming back to Mexico.
