Charly, Charly!

Be careful not to run anyone over, please.

Don't worry, princess.

What? Wait a minute... Are you calling me "princess"?

You're going to talk to me like one of your fans?

No, I'm just making sure that none of this riffraff gets run over.

Well, it's thanks to this riffraff, as you call them,

that I am where I am.

And thanks to me, my love. Thanks to me.

Yes. Yes, I need...

And to Yeimy...

Who, Dad?

No one. We're here, my love.

-We're here. -We're here, OK.

Wait.

Give it your all.

YOU'RE THE BEST

Come on, I'm dying to have you Here next to me

I want you to listen to me I'm calling on you

Let me tell you about All I feel for you

I'm gonna tell you the whole truth

I would give you a thousand kisses without hesitation

Spend the whole night I'm dying for you to love me

I want to get to know you

There is no more time to waste

You are the fire that tortures me

My being longs for you You never leave my mind

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES

HELGA MADDEN WOMEN'S CORRECTIONAL FACILITY

This is the story I have come here to tell

The story of a false man and his deadly lie

I gave him all my life never even asking why

And in this dark reality I ended up behind bars

Trapped in hell alone, I couldn't sing

My soul has been filled with a bitter loneliness

And only vengeance and seeing you in pain drive each thought in my head

Blood in my eyes from so many tears

It's the withering look that you'll never forget

And once you fall wounded Forgiveness, you'll beg

Only in the end will my soul rest

Shiver, 'cause now your predator's here You stole every illusion from me

Betrayal is all your mind knows You are the snake that poisoned my soul

No, I was just about to start.

What's wrong?

Montoya!

Montoya!

Montoya!

Montoya!

What the heck?

What the heck is it with you? It's always the same.

Go change that bucket of water. You have floors to clean.

But don't bother me here, Montes.

Stop complaining.

Since when do I clean this wing?

Stop asking questions, just start cleaning.

No! Leave me alone!

Stop, leave me alone!

Let me go!

Leave me alone!

Let me go!

Surprise!

Oh, that hair!

What a surprise.

Was I too rough?

Hey! Thank you!

And what did you think?

That we weren't going to give you the farewell that you deserve?

Oh, Taina, why did you do this, girl?

Listen to what I'm going to tell you, and this goes for all of us!

If any one of us gets out of this hell,

they deserve all the parties in the entire world, right?

Good evening, Medellín!

It's a pleasure for me

to present one of the most important artists

in urban music.

Charly, everything's ready out there, the audience is dying to see you.

Good things can't be rushed, princess.

Tell them I'm on my way.

Look, my love, the place is ready to explode.

Like always.

Let's make a lot of noise

for Charly...

Flow!

Fire, fire, fire!

How about...

if we remember how we met?

You know, I still remember When I saw you

I can't understand How I lived without you for so long

You're the reflection I want to gaze at

You're the life I need To carry on

I want to get to know you There is no more time to waste

You are the fire that tortures me

My being longs for you You never leave my mind

From you, I want one night To touch your skin

I can't stand this wait any longer Your soul and your body are my downfall

I want a little piece of your body In my dreams

A little bit of my kiss on your skin

I want to dance with you always To never wake up

I have two thousand reasons To talk to you about love

These are the songs That keep me awake all night

I want to sing with you To keep you always in my mind

You're almost out! You have to be happy!

Honey...

Jack del Castillo, music producer. What's this?

If it weren't for that man, my career would never have gotten anywhere.

-So? -When you get out of here, contact him.

To see if you'll forget about going to Medellín and ending it all.

I thought you understood me.

No, I understand you.

I know that you have the opportunity to get back at him.

I understand, Yeimy.

But you can't make a mistake and fall back into that hole again, honey.

Well, if that happens, it'll be worth it.

Listen to me, Yeimy...

Don't let that man poison your soul.

My soul has been shattered for a long time, Taina.

Come on, I'm dying To have you here next to me

I want you to listen to me I'm calling on you

Let me tell you about All I feel for you...

That's why I'm going to make him pay, for the family that was taken from me,

for the years I've wasted in this hole.

I'm going to make Charly pay.

I'm going to make sure he loses his fortune,

his fame.

I'm going to make his family abandon him.

And when he's alone and destroyed,

then he'll realize that his best option in life

to end all that suffering,

is to put a bullet through his head.

Your soul and your body are my downfall

I want a little piece of your body In my dreams

A little bit of my kiss on your skin

I want to dance with you always To never wake up

I have two thousand reasons To talk to you about love

These are the songs That keep me awake all night

I want to sing with you To keep you always in my mind

Come on, my love...

A little glance...

Charly says so, baby.

OK.

Where there was no justice, there will be revenge.

OK.

The next one of you who even thinks of playing this shit,

I'm going to break your face.

-Here, Yeimy, -All right, don't stop.

-Drink. -Let's keep the party going!

This is a surprise party!

I'm about to sing and I'm parched. Wait.

This is the glass of honor.

-I'm parched, honey, thank you. -Thanks, Petra.

All right, I'm going to sing a great song.

A reggaeton song that I heard her sing on day one,

and it hit me right here in my soul.

Give me another drink, honey.

Here it goes!

My people fear nothing You can see it in their eyes

Except opening their hearts

Where I come from, where I'm from

The streets are tough and love is tougher

It leaves a wound in your heart

Yeimy!

-Open her mouth! -Yeimy!

-Yeimy! -Get a doctor!

LOCKSMITH

Charly...

-Hey, what's up? -How's it going, bro? Good?

-Everything good? -Good, bro, this way.

Come on, come on.

No worries, bro.

-All good? -Yes.

Go that way.

Go on!

Bro, let's go.

Go that way, go on.

How many people did you knock off to get here?

You know I always use an advance team.

This guy likes a clean street, bro.

How did the concert go?

Fantastic. We knocked it out of the park.

Hey, Uncle, you know what? I'm exhausted.

Tell me why you needed me in such a hurry.

-What do you think about... -Look what we got.

It's a beauty.

Lucio...

Put the gold one here and the silver one here.

-Ready, boss. -A little jailbird told me

about an old friend of yours. Remember her?

We sent her on a scholarship to the United States.

What's her name?

Yeimy?

She's causing problems.

What happened?

She decided to save her skin by making deals with the law to screw us over.

What do you mean? She got out of jail?

We had to get rid of her.

Like I should have done years ago,

before you tried to redeem yourself with her.

What happened, Rizzo? What happened? Where am I?

You were poisoned.

But you don't want to leave this world yet.

Your friend, on the other hand, didn't survive.

Fany.

Who? Why?

It was Petra.

Paid off by Manín, she confessed everything.

The boss found out that you were going to get out with a pardon,

that's why he tried to kill you.

But he couldn't get me.

For it to be easier to catch him, it's better that they think they did.

We can take advantage of what happened

and say that, officially, Yeimy Montoya was murdered.

Is our deal still on?

You go free, and you work undercover with the DEA

to capture Manín.

When you do that, the agency will sever ties with you,

and you'll be completely free.

I imagine you didn't tell that loudmouth wife of yours

about the deal I proposed, no?

Of course not, Uncle, but, you know, I'm exhausted.

Let's talk about this tomorrow, OK?

I don't give a fuck if you're exhausted.

Are you with me in the business or not?

Are you with me in the business or not?

Of course I am. You can count on me.

And I thought this faggy little business with your music

wasn't even going to get you a penny, and look...

So pretty. Look at you.

The famous one in the family. So pretty...

-You had a lot to do with it. -And don't you forget it.

I'm very grateful.

But right now, I'm exhausted. We'll talk tomorrow.

Boys, the...

Is the exit this way?

Of course, bro. Where you came in.

Cheers.

-Bye, bro. -That's the deal.

I'm in.

Now more than ever.

Let the death of my friend be one more reason to...

to finish that bastard and make him pay.

We have to set up your new identity very carefully.

The idea is for you to get to Manín through his nephew, Charly Flow,

Charly Cruz.

You have to be trained by someone who can get you into that world.

The ones who laughed at me, the ones Who did not believe in this kind of music

The ones who doubted We would succeed

This song is dedicated To the ones who are not here

And this is just flow

The moment to show my talent Has arrived...

This is all the information you need to know about your new life.

Learn it well. Keep the IDs.

But this?

Destroy it.

From now on, your name is Tammy Andrade.

When do I travel to Puerto Rico?

Tomorrow.

You'll connect with Jack del Castillo there.

He already knows that he needs to turn you into Tammy Andrade,

the big music producer.

Once you're ready,

we'll start Phase Two, undercover in Medellín.

Have a good rest...

Tammy.

Did you do it For passion or money

In this world of betrayals, Vengeance, disappointments

Love, deceptions And that bitterness

Of deep grudges That only grow within time

A sentence that feeds the fury

My soul aches With the memories that overwhelm it

Unforgettable memories Of what we could have been...

17 YEARS AGO

You know, I still remember when I saw you

I can't understand How I lived without you for so long

You're the reflection I want to gaze at

You're the life...

You're the life...

Ah, yes.

You're the life I need...

You're the life I need To carry on...

Yeimy!

Leave her alone, she's upstairs doing her homework.

What's up, bro? What are you here for? Clear out of my place.

-Now. Goodbye. -OK.

OK.

Hey! You're a thief.

I'm only following orders, Genaro.

But if you don't want to be respectful, I'll just tell the boss

that you don't feel like paying your monthly dues.

It's for your protection.

There are a lot of problems here in this neighborhood.

Look, you know what?

I've had it with the impudence and abuse I get from you.

Go and tell your boss that we're not giving him a single cent more.

That's it.

What do you mean, Genaro?

You're going to mess with us?

We already told you to leave, sir! Do me a favor and go now.

-Go on. -You old nag, go back to your cooking.

-Hey, don't mess with my mother. -Yeimy, come here.

You know what, Genaro? Grab your damn kid,

and give her a couple smacks on her ass so she learns to respect a man.

A man? A man is someone who respects women, and that's not you, buddy.

Go on, get out of here. Goodbye. Goodbye.

Go on.

You screwed up, Genaro.

Go on.

CAKE SHOP

Don't try acting like nothing's going on.

Who is that man?

Don't pay any attention to that, my love.

Go finish your homework. We need to keep working here.

That's the ending.

Watch for Castro's arrival.

This job is going to be short.

We're going to be parked out front there.

All you need to do is let me know when he arrives.

We'll get him and that's it.

Everyone goes back home, happy.

Do you understand, or do I need to draw you a picture?

Sure, pal. This isn't the first time we've been your lookout.

Be careful, you brats.

This idiot thinks he's my uncle's right-hand man.

I'm sick of him.

No, bro. I'm the one who's sick of being involved in this.

Don't you realize that this isn't for us?

We're musicians, bro!

This is dangerous, we're going to end up getting shot or something.

Besides, what about this whole thing of robbing people?

Robbing people? They're the only ones robbing.

Sure, them.

It's the same thing, bro, don't be such an idiot.

Money is money. Do we need it or not?

How else would you have fed your little brother and sister this week?

Do you think now we can talk about what happened in the store?

Look, I don't understand why you don't tell me anything.

And that guy was asking you for money, right?

My child, don't pay any attention to that. It's not important.

It's better if you just focus on school and on your homework,

since you really have a lot, my love.

Oh, yes, but look, I'm already doing it, look.

That's what I like, my love, nice and studious.

Because I'm not going to have you turn out ignorant. No, ma'am.

Let's see... What do you look like you could be?

I think maybe a doctor.

Or a lawyer.

No, but I'm going to be a musician. Right, Dad?

A musician?

A musician, a ballerina, a doctor, whatever you want, my love.

You're so bright that you're going to achieve whatever you put your mind to,

whatever you want to do, my love.

Look.

-Oh, what's that? -Come on, let's dance, my love.

-Come on, let's dance. -Let's dance. OK.

Oh, you look so beautiful.

Of course!

Hello, Miss Estela. All good?

I haven't forgotten where I grew up Nor the people I've met

Hey! What's up?

Survivors from the neighborhood

How's it going?

Always trying to leave

Looking for a better life So many couldn't make it

Giving their lives for others

My people fear nothing You can see it in their eyes

Except opening their hearts Say it loud, with flow

Where I come from, where I'm from

The streets are tough and love is tougher

It leaves a wound in your heart

You have to fight a war every day

So run and endure the weight Get away

Or endure the weight So the dark-haired girl dances

Your sexy movements challenge me Your lips tempt me

Dance, dark-haired girl, Your sexy movements challenge me

Awesome!

All the hardships...

The beat of my flow Carries the rhythm of the dembow

Get away, everyone get away!

The beat of my flow Carries the rhythm of the dembow

Improvisation, Nice to meet you, I'm Alison.

And I come flying, soaring so you'll hear me

and rappers, get your hands up.

We do this up high...

What's up, my people? How's the energy?

Now we'll leave you with our friend El Búho, let's hear it. Thank you.

Thank you.

What's up, friends?

We'll begin with the semifinals.

Who are the semifinalists?

Charly, Charly!

What a great crowd for Charly, no?

The semifinalists are: Axl y Trinity.

And Soul and Bass.

I've been waiting for you. Come on.

I thought you weren't going to come. It's getting good.

All right, where are those little jerks? I don't see them anywhere.

Did they pee their pants, or what?

You know what the worst thing is?

That we're missing El Búho's contest.

And it was so hard for us to get to the semifinal...

And all for this...

Look, don't start, Charly. We have to be serious.

This song is going to be a hit.

Look at this little princess...

I'm the master Of lyrics in the game

Hey, call her over.

-Hey, wait. -Hey, princess...

Come here.

What's up, baby? Listen to this song.

Watch, listen to me and learn

Your strategy doesn't surprise me at all

And if you've been told that you have the flavor

Bad luck, you just met the best

Don't go...

Look, man! The Castros!

Let's go, boys, let's go!

Hey, Juancho!

Juancho, get over here, they're shooting!

Get the bag, get the bag!

The one with the bag, idiot!

What chickens!

Judges, they'll be here in a minute.

Should we give them two more minutes?

Two minutes.

This will be great when Charly and Juancho get here.

Do you see them?

The lyrics don't lie

We have the ground That the children don't defend

Look at them there.

SPECTACULAR RHYMING COMPETITION COME PARTICIPATE

Stop drooling.

I'm not drooling, not at all.

If you could see your face when you look at Charly.

And to think that he doesn't even know that you exist.

Come on, why aren't they here yet?

Oh, bro, they almost got me.

That was intense.

What are you laughing at? Didn't you see I almost got killed, idiot?

Did you think you were going to deliver Lucio's money just like that?

He's going to kill us.

Come on. It has to be worth something to be my uncle's nephew.

The contest!

Should we give them more time?

-No, we've been here over two minutes. -It's been more than two minutes.

They're not going to the final.

Those guys already knew what would happen to them.

All right, Soul and Bass disqualified.

They didn't show up.

What's up?

What's up, ladies? I'm here!

-Charly! -Let's hear it for Charly!

Charly, Charly!

What's up, princesses and hot babes? I'm Charly and this is Soul and Bass.

And it goes like...

like...

I'm the master Of lyrics in the game

When it's time to compete I can only hear pleas

-Many want to defeat me -No, no, no.

But how? They have to reach me first

I see they showed up late, huh?

Yes!

We're going to explain, judges, what the deal is.

This is pure improv, OK? No old songs.

Lyrics you come up with here, for them.

You're here, you create it here,

right now, lyrics straight from your heart, got it?

Let's go!

Watch, listen to me and learn, Your strategy doesn't surprise me at all

And if you've been told that you have the flavor

Bad luck, you just met the best

They call me Charly Like the boss of the Angels

I'll bring flowers to your grave

Charly, Charly!

I see your fear of me

-Because when I play -The decibels soar

My people stand by me Everyone prefers me

I'm the boss

-No one wants you -Charly, Charly!

So I think I won the battle...

I'm sorry, you weren't enough

One point for the audience Two for being the only one

Another one for all who support me

When my lyrics crush you

The third to sing out victory, of course

No, seriously, get up on stage, Yeimy.

You'd wipe the floor with them,

-you'd win the contest. -Bye.

I'm Charly Flow, baby.

Hey, what did you think?

That you were going to win this because you have a pretty face?

You could even whisper a couple little rhymes in Charly's ear,

and get a kiss in return.

No! Hey, what time is it?

If you have your angels, I'm the devil himself

Is that really the time? I have to go.

-Bump, come on, bump. -No, I'm going, too.

No, I'm going. Why would I stay and listen to that bad group?

With this rhythm Charly, please stop it

You say your name is Charly, I know you, Carlos

Allow me, I'm going to educate you

Hands up, everyone with me There were witnesses to this massacre

Maybe I'll stop, maybe I'll go on No more shots, enough punishment

MANIN HARDWARE

Boss.

We couldn't do the job.

We couldn't rob Castro.

He realized that we were there,

and he started shooting, and we shot back.

How's my nephew? How's Charly?

Charly and Juancho, they were the first ones

to go running off like a couple of chickens.

They're at fault. They should have been standing guard.

Hire someone to wipe out the Castros.

For not letting us rob them the easy way.

Yes, sir.

One more thing...

The Montoyas didn't pay their monthly dues.

That guy, Genaro, was really rude.

What the hell is going on here, Lucio?

Did everyone in this disgusting neighborhood

just decide to disrespect me, or what?

I'm going to pay a little visit to them tomorrow, and let's see if they don't pay.

-They didn't have anything new. -And we did?

Did you see how they reacted to us?

Reacted how?

Didn't you see all those girls yelling "Charly"?

-We'll have another chance soon. -No, bro. When?

The only chance we had for a producer to see us,

and we blew it, because we looked like idiots.

We had problems improvising lyrics,

and you bombed on half of them.

So business isn't so good.

You know this isn't for me, and it isn't for you, either.

Look, Charly, all we need,

is someone to write lyrics for us, that's all.

I'm composing something that's going to leave you speechless.

You talk that way because you don't have any responsibilities in life.

But you know that since my mom ran out,

and left me with my little brother and sister,

I have to work and study so that they can eat.

And tell your uncle that today was it for me on his jobs.

Because if they find out I'm doing anything bad, they'll take the kids away.

Wait, it's not that easy.

My uncle's not going to like this.

You're just really scared about what's happening.

Think about whatever you need to think about.

I'm going to start organizing a plan to shut El Búho's mouth.

In music, I'll follow you to the ends of the earth, bro.

That's it!

But tell your uncle that today was it for me.

And I don't have to think about it, bro.

So smart and so stupid.

It really wasn't a good contest.

Crude lyrics, no creativity.

Horrible lyrics. I really expected more.

Holy Mary, listen to her talk.

Like a real critic.

Not at all, mita.

But you know what? Last night I was thinking

how great it would be to sing my own stuff.

Oh, honey, and why don't you do it?

Come on, mita, look at me.

I don't have the looks to go on stage.

-No, how could I? -What?

Why do you say that? Haven't you looked in a mirror?

You're stunning, my love.

Why don't you get up on stage and show all the talent you have?

Because what you have, those are real lyrics and poetry.

Like this.

The night you love me

From the blue of the sky

The jealous stars

Holy Mary, those really are lyrics that tell stories, my love.

Sure, mita, but for now I'm just having fun

watching Charly's group and the contests.

That boy is so cute.

You should be with anyone but him, sweetheart.

I don't like him for you.

Yeimy, I can see. I have reasons for saying this.

Oh, mita, don't be so harsh.

Look, I've seen him all my life at school,

and yes, he is kind of bold and all, I have to admit it,

but he's also a cool kid.

You know what I realized? That he's a boy filled with dreams

and the desire to get ahead, just like me, and...

I think that's what I like the most.

This afternoon I'm going to be working in the shack with Mister Ismael.

So you guys be good, and come right home after school, OK?

When is Mom coming home?

Mom is on a trip.

She's working very hard to bring us back something.

These shoes are really hurting my feet, they've gotten too small.

You don't wear them like that!

You have to fix them up in the latest style, give them to me.

I'm going to show you what to do with this.

This is going to be great, look.

You see? Look.

This turned out really cool. Try them on.

As soon as I can, I'll buy you new ones, OK?

OK, Linita, here you go.

You're going to go to school like that?

Sure, they look pretty.

All right, be good.

I mean it. Goodbye.

From school, straight back home.

You're the life That I need...

To carry on...

What are you writing?

Read it.

Give me that, you bleached blonde!

Look at what Yeimy wrote.

You know, I still remember when I saw you.

I can't understand how I lived without you for so long.

My love!

You're the reflection I want to gaze at.

You're the... Oh, no!

I really want to know who you wrote these sappy lyrics for.

All right, stop, Gema! Stop flapping around and learn to read, OK?

Calm down.

Calm down.

Yeimy, Yeimy!

Wait, Yeimy.

Come on, I'm not going to rob you.

Yeimy, don't pay attention to that girl. She just has no clue.

Come here, wait, calm down.

What is it? What is that?

A song, a poem, or what?

Is it yours?

Yes, it's mine.

Do you think I could take a look at it?

No, I don't show this to anyone.

Oh, Yeimy, that's too bad, because we're looking for a songwriter

for Soul and Bass.

And those lyrics of yours are really good.

What do you say?

No.

Yeimy, think about it, OK?

Look, those lyrics are really great.

Say yes to their invitation to join the group.

Where's your solidarity?

Oh, Chacha, I can't.

Look, if Charly realizes that he's the inspiration for all those lyrics,

I would die of embarrassment, I couldn't ever look at him again.

Besides, what if he doesn't like them and thinks they're bad, then what?

Then he's deaf. And a fool, too.

Yeimy, you told me that music was your life.

This is your chance to show it.

Plus, you're getting the opportunity to write songs

for none other than Charly.

It's just not that easy.

If he rejects me, or rejects any of my lyrics,

that would really hurt me.

Besides, I have to think about other things, too.

My mother wants me to be a professional.

What she wants is for me to have a career where I wear a skirt,

those heels that make you walk like a penguin,

a ton of stuff like that.

So I'm not going to disappoint her.

She wants me to be called "Doctor," and that's how it's going to be.

So I'll start calling you "Doctor" right now.

Oh, that's great.

"Doctor Yeimy." Listen, it sounds fantastic.

What's up, beautiful?

I brought you some groceries so you can invite me over more often.

That's so nice of you. We didn't even have eggs.

You look so pretty, Ligia.

Oh, Manín...

You shouldn't bring us groceries so often.

You take such good care of us.

I think it's time you got a wife.

I'm working on that.

But since you don't pay any attention to me...

Would you like a coffee?

Thank you, beautiful. Could you bring it outside? I need to talk to my nephew.

Sure.

Manín, don't get my son involved in anything strange.

How could you think that?

What happened yesterday, dimwit? Spill it.

Nothing. Those guys were armed and they shot at us. How is that our fault?

You and the other dimwit are there to be the lookouts.

And Lucio told me that because you were singing stupid crap,

you didn't see the Castros' car arrive. What happened there?

Lucio is an idiot who makes up stuff so he looks good.

Besides, they also didn't realize that the car had arrived.

Be careful, nephew.

He who gets cocky in this business, dies.

And then what am I going to say to your mother if you get killed for being dumb?

You think your mother will be able to go on after her husband was killed

if they kill her only son, too?

Think about her.

All right, Uncle. I promise you there won't be any more mistakes.

I hope not.

What mistakes?

Mistakes...

"Mistakes" is a song I love.

Honey...

Your mom wants you.

She says she's been calling you for a while,

but you have selective hearing.

Dad, I'm not hungry.

What do you mean?

What's wrong?

A girl at school took my notebook.

And she started to make fun of what I wrote, in front of everyone.

Can I see?

No.

Don't make that face like you're a scolded dog, Dad.

You know what? I'll show you.

But only you, OK?

-Let's see. -Read it slowly.

I won't tell anyone.

I want to get to know you, you're the fire that tortures me.

My being longs for you, you never leave my mind.

Holy Mary, honey. Who is this about?

No, nobody.

What? It's just things that come out of my head,

things I make up.

It reminds me of exactly what I felt...

when I met your mom.

No, come on. Look, cheer up. What?

Come on.

My love, Yeimy...

you're an artist, my love,

and that's what makes you different.

It's just that sometimes people can't handle something that's different.

And that's why they do stupid things, like what that girl at school did to you.

No, Dad, come on. I'm nothing special.

No, miss.

In time, you'll realize that's not true.

Besides, you can't allow people who don't understand you

to kill your dreams.

And I didn't raise you to stay in your room

crying all day, or did I?

-Oh, I love you so much. -And I love you.

I won't be long, OK? I have to go out.

But don't be long. I love you.

Marco, stop playing with that, you're going to get a shock.

Hello...

What's up, Yeimy?

Look, I don't want to be ungrateful, so I came here

to say thank you for the thing with the notebook and everything.

Oh, no. My pleasure.

And I also came to give you this.

Here, listen to it.

And if you like it, let me know.

And if I don't like it?

No, well, then... Don't tell me anything.

Wait! Can't you see that I'm just joking?

I know that if this is anything like what Gema read, I'm going to love it.

Bye, kids.

Goodbye.

You know...

I still remember when I saw you

I can't understand How I lived without you for so long

And even though you look at me and ignore me, I feel I'm a lot for a man

I'm not someone who'll go after anyone I'm just looking for a man who'll love me

I'm going to show you my talent Give me the attention I deserve

Tell me...

I never felt anything like this for anyone

I never thought it would be this way

To touch your mouth in an instant

Give my kisses only to you

It's 9:30 p.m. here at Mero Power Stereo.

All of San Félix keeps talking about what happened at the big event of the year.

The big hip hop and rap contest organized by Mero Power Stereo...

Listen! They're going to talk about you!

...left doubt about the artistic aspect. This group Soul and Bass

showed a lot of energy, but really, they were missing

talent and ability in improvisation.

For their part, Axl y Trinity did very well...

-Turn that off. -...they secured their place in the...

-I should go. -Hey.

Calm down.

Calm down, I know you have a lot of talent.

Yes, but I need the rest of the world to know it.

Why don't we both calm down...

and I'll make you forget yesterday's show?

-I have to call Juancho. -Really?

Now?

I have a plan. You're part of it, too!

So get your best bikini ready, my princess.

I'm the master of lyrics in the game When it's time to compete

But how? They have to reach me first

Listen up. I've got the answer to our problems, bro.

Me, too, bro. And we need to do it now.

Oh, but I don't think yours is the songwriter I have,

because she's not just anyone.

Bro, yours is going to take too long. Mine is for now.

What do you have, then?

-Charly, we're here and we're ready. -Hi!

That's what I wanted to see, my beautiful princesses.

Just tell us what we need to do.

Get ready, we're going to record the video that's going to make us rich.

I'm the master of lyrics In the game

When it's time to compete I can only hear pleading

Many want to defeat me But how?

They have to reach me first

Watch, listen to me and learn, Your strategy doesn't surprise me at all

And if you've been told that you have the flavor, bad luck, you just met the best

They call me Charly Like the boss of the Angels

I'll bring flowers to your grave I see your fear of me

Because when I play The decibels soar

My people stand by me Everyone prefers me

I'm the boss, no one wants you

So I think I won the battle I'm sorry, you weren't enough

One point for the audience Two for being the only one

The third to sing out victory, of course

Another one for all who support me When my lyrics crush you

I recognize your effort, boys, and the beautiful girls.

But it's just that this song, bro, isn't...

-This song really isn't... -This song, what, Búho?

Can't you see this is a hit?

-Bro, I don't know what you want... -I want you to let me do my job.

If you bring me something good, something worthwhile, great.

But if not, let me work, please.

I have a lot to do, bro.

Look, Búho, I brought you what you're looking for.

Here, put it on.

Why do you say that, Juancho?

I hope it's not the same thing.

What are you going?

Charly, I told you, and you didn't want to listen to me.

You know, I still remember when I saw you

I can't understand How I lived without you for so long

-You're... -This has good color.

Good movement.

That's exactly what I was talking about.

Why didn't you show me this first?

-Oh, I don't know... -Listen to those lyrics.

Sure, I can identify with those lyrics, anyone could.

Who's singing?

Look, Búho, let me introduce you to our new songwriter, Yeimy Montoya.

-Aren't you the vocalist? -Of course I am.

It's just that...

She's a new acquisition for Soul and Bass.

All right, whatever. Record a decent demo with that. In a studio.

-Something really good... -Really?

-Do a good job, and I'll play it. -All right, all right.

-We won't disappoint you. -No, no, it's really good.

Gena, stop encouraging that girl with the whole music thing.

Can't you see that it won't lead her to anything good?

But why, sweetheart? You know she has a lot of talent.

No, I know, that's obvious.

I know she has a lot of talent, and I don't want her to waste it, either.

But it's one thing for her to want to spend all her time

on that device listening to music,

and another for her to think she can make a living on that, for God's sake.

You know that she's very smart and she can do both things.

She can study and she can keep writing her lyrics. I don't see the problem.

Oh, Genaro, what's gotten into your head?

Aren't we killing ourselves in this bakery so that our daughter can study,

so she can have a better future,

so she can have a chance to go to a good university

and study something worthwhile?

Look, I think she's very intelligent

and she can do both things at once.

She can study and keep writing her lyrics.

Oh, no, Genaro.

Look, help me with this, OK? She listens to you.

I have a really big dream.

And it's that I don't want her to be slaving away in this bakery,

or sitting at a sewing machine like your mother has had to do.

What's up?

What's up, Manín?

You didn't have to work today, either?

Really?

Is that how you greet me?

A little something for you.

Oh, thank you.

How beautiful. I'm going to put them in water so they don't wilt.

I feel bad, you're always buying these expensive things.

Oh, no.

I wanted to know how you're doing.

If you needed anything, if there's anything you were lacking.

Oh, no, I'm fine. Everything is fine here, all good.

I'm in a hurry to leave for Mass, it starts in ten minutes.

Relax.

There's Mass in the afternoon, morning, and night.

Relax, and let's sit.

Oh, Manín, I'm really sorry, but it's just that...

you shouldn't just show up here like this, without telling me,

because I have to go out, I have things to do.

Oh, well, forgive me.

If I come here often, it's because of the promise I made to my brother

to take care of you and Charly.

No, I'm always incredibly grateful to you. It's just that...

I have to leave.

You should stop by the church for a minute sometime, too.

No, I'll leave that task up to you.

So you can pray for us, the sinners.

OK.

Lucio!

What can I do for you, sir?

Bring me another drink, son of a bitch.

Heartbreak hurts less when you're drunk.

What heartbreak?

You can have any girl you want.

If I can get girls...

I care about Ligia, bro.

She's very cold with me.

I'm crazy about her, bro. I can't even think straight.

All right, sir.

-Lucio! -Yes, sir?

What's the name of those people who don't want to pay their monthly dues?

The Montoyas.

-Hey, princess. -What's up, Yeimy?

Were you going to throw that out? How could you do that?

It's not good for anything, boys.

Let's see.

What do you mean, Yeimy?

Come on.

Don't you realize that nobody writes songs like you do?

That's why the two of us are here.

Look at me.

Yeimy, you're the best.

That's why we want you to join the group.

It's just that... my mother wants something else.

I know that, in the end, my father does, too.

And they've been killing themselves their whole lives to give me that.

And there's no future in songwriting, and I...

I'm not going to disappoint them, they mean everything to me.

No.

Look, princess.

Whoever told you there's no money in music was wrong.

One song...

We have a hit, and we're rolling in money. What do you say?

Yes.

And then you'll be able to do all the beautiful things you want for your family.

Just like Juancho for his brother and sister, and me for my mom.

OK, but it's just that... it's not easy to get a hit song.

Look, princess.

Even if we have to make you...

you're going to be with us.

Because I'm going to tell you a secret.

Juancho showed me a cassette.

And it's awesome.

Princess, are we a group, or what?

Look, if you tell me no, I'm gonna climb this thing and electrocute myself, look.

Well?

Yes?

Are we a group or not?

-Well, Yeimy? -We need an answer now.

Manín, I'm not going to stand for this anymore, bro. I'm going to report you.

Are you an idiot or what, Genaro?

I've protected you, bro, better than any cop would.

I came to do things nicely.

Pay me the damn monthly fees and I'll leave nice and quiet.

You finally decided to show your face, huh?

Pay me the money, and move that ass, bitch.

I'm not going to allow you to mistreat my wife.

Or for you to keep extorting money from us like that.

And I told your errand boy very clearly I'm not going to give you another penny.

Go and make the call.

-Let it go. -Lucio.

Some people are really stupid.

-No, it's nothing. -They get themselves killed for nothing.

Genaro, sweetheart?

It's your fault, bro. Why are you getting so cocky?

Don't you see that I have to set a precedent with you?

So, goodbye.

Genaro!

Manuela!

Manuela!

-Well, Yeimy? -Today.

What? I can't hear you.

What?

-Let's do it. -Let's do it!

They'd better hold on in heaven because Soul and Bass

is shooting up like a rocket.

Good work, pal.

Let's see...
