A NETFLIX SERIES

FOUR YEARS BEFORE

Mom!

-I told you to go home. -Mom…

Let's go to the shelter.

Don't get too far from me, okay?

Run, dear!

Go inside, dear!

Mom, I'm scared.

-Don't move. -No, you come down too.

I have to fool them or they'll find us.

You know what to do.

Don't go.

-I love you, dear. -I love you too, Mom.

I love you.

Coming.

My own driver.

You give them an inch, and they take a mile.

-What did you find on him? -He had a hidden bug in his jacket.

When we went to his house,

we found five rolls of 100-dollar bills,

a gun, and six or seven monitoring devices.

The fuck?

What? Was he putting some holes in me or what?

-Was he going to bomb me? -I don't know. He didn't say.

He was just crying like a baby, the fucker was scared.

Did he say who he worked for?

He died too soon, sir.

I'm telling you, he just cried and said

he was threatened, they'd kill him if he didn't cooperate.

And well, in the end,

he got away without saying a word.

And his family?

They left to the States three days ago.

Very well.

Clean this mess up.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

Nothing ever happens in here, right?

No.

That's boring.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

If I'd known he'd be so late, I wouldn't have woken up so early.

So early, Delio? Please. It's noon already.

This speech is going to be a success, believe me.

He won't read it, man. He never does.

I don't know why you waste your time on that.

Call Delio.

Evening, Mr. President.

Hello, Delio.

We were worried about your delay.

Why? That's the advantage of being president.

They wait for you until you arrive.

-Do we have the full public? -The plaza is full, sir.

There's national media.

Good, did you write what I told you already?

Of course, as you told me to.

Straightforward, clear, and as you said,

-written with balls. -Attaboy.

And you're talking about that?

-About what, sorry? -Unemployment.

We have many unemployed right now, but people will be happy.

They'll have to take care of two things.

So, the thing about tonight is ready?

-What we agreed on. -Good.

Please.

The IOHR is a non-profit foundation.

We defend the rights

of minorities in jail in the United States.

Mostly Hispanic.

I don't know how you can help me.

Unless you make a judge lower the 85 years

that I have as a sentence.

We have nothing to do with the sentences.

-We just defend the rights-- -Yes, I know.

You defend the prisoners' human rights.

You know what?

I've already lost count

of all the letters I've sent you to get me the fuck out of confinement.

I've been in total isolation for 1,493 days.

Well, there it is.

Maybe we can help you with that.

Yes, sure.

How long since you last received any visitors?

My lawyers used to come, but since I was sentenced,

they didn't have to come anymore.

Family?

Maybe we can change that.

Never mind that.

According to your file, you have a daughter.

I said no.

I don't want her to have anything to do with this fucking place

or with these fucking people.

Besides, I don't even know where she is.

Well, we still can do something to improve your situation.

It's one thing to be kept in a maximum security prison,

and another to be isolated.

I brought you something, I hope you like it.

THE COUNT OF MONTECRISTO

Do you know it?

Why that book?

Maybe it will help you see that others have gone through the same thing.

I didn't choose it, a coworker did.

Do you know what the gray hour is?

How long do you think the gray hour lasts?

I think around 20 minutes.

Every three days, I wake up at that time,

when it's not day, but it isn't night either.

Did you know that this practice comes from the Catalans?

It's like meditating.

I can't see the sun, neither at dusk nor at dawn.

Such a shame.

It's truly liberating.

My coworker says that the best part is at the end.

Well, you know, whatever you need, we'll be there to help you.

MÁLAGA, SPAIN

Look, kid, it's not that it's not pretty,

but… at the end no one said anything.

Maybe if it had a little bit more color.

-Thank you. -Sorry.

Can I help you?

She's in a jail in the States.

Her mother is Latin American.

A real criminal.

I don't believe you.

See for yourself. Look.

Damn!

Sofía, what happened? What did he say?

They didn't buy it.

Apparently no one liked it.

That doesn't mean it's not good, huh?

Can we go home? I'm tired.

Come on, the air is good for you, you're always in the house.

Also, someone would be upset if we go back home so soon.

-Come here! -Take care of him. I'll get water.

-Sure. -Want anything?

Want one of those?

-Hello. -Come on, guys, let's say hi.

We have some important information.

The boats are cool, right? Let's see more boats.

Hey, girl, why are you avoiding us?

Aren't we friends from school?

No, we're not.

Carlos didn't believe me about your mom.

From all the things the news says,

what impressed me most was about your father--

Stop.

Damn.

Did she really kill him?

Stay here.

I told you to stop.

You don't scare me, stupid Indian.

What do we have here?

Give it to me.

You were trying to sell it?

I dropped it.

What'll you do to me?

Son of a bitch.

You think you're smart?

You couldn't win, not even with a knife.

What are you going to do? You gonna kill me, Indian?

First of all,

I'm not an Indian.

I'm Italian, you stupid son of a bitch.

And second of all…

Are you okay?

Why are you alone?

Where's Sofía?

Thank you, thank you.

Are we going to let people die

while the gringos, our neighbors,

are partying?

-No! -No!

Our country can no longer be at war

because all we are getting

is dead people, widows, and orphans.

And listen to me well.

We'll have to make a pact with the enemy.

As in any war!

We're going to talk to them!

And I know this might be strange for you,

but today,

I've instructed my cabinet, the closest people to me,

to begin working on a legislative reform,

a law that will prevent more deaths,

a law of subjugation

for all of those who traffic drugs!

I know you might be surprised by this…

I've been told you don't want to eat.

And to my enemies, too!

I hope I can help you.

You like hearing him?

When can I see my son?

When you get better.

When, for example, there is a little more light in the room.

When you breathe clean air, when you connect with reality.

When you're better.

I'm okay.

Someone that doesn't eat can't be okay.

I'm doing everything you tell me, Doctor.

What else do you want?

I need to be 100% sure

that you won't do it again.

I won't do it again, doctor.

But I need to see my son.

It's true, I need to see my son. I'll do whatever you tell me.

I need to see my son.

Let's make a deal.

You eat,

and I'll see what I can do.

And I know that the road ahead is not easy but very long.

But Epifanio does not turn his back on his people!

I will encourage a constitutional reform

for the presidential reelections!

Because Epifanio Vargas won't turn his back on you!

Because I'm not doing this for me.

I'm doing this for you!

My people!

We love you, Mr. President!

Bravo, bravo!

I love you!

Mr. President.

Mr. President!

Let her, let her.

The people are happy.

Thank you, Mr. President!

-You're welcome. -Your work is admirable.

Thank you.

See you later, thanks.

There's something for me in locker 15. In the restrooms on the first floor.

Okay, sir.

Hey! Mexican girl!

I'm bored, talk to me.

Hey, sweetie, you're not a good neighbor.

Fuck you, come on. Where did they take you?

Hey…

Come on…

What did they give you? Come on…

It's done.

How is she?

If we take into account that she's been isolated for four years, she's fine.

Can you be more specific?

She's physically fine, but you can see how tired she is.

The regimen she's being subjected to is too demanding.

Luckily, that's about to change very soon.

Charges.

Timers.

How soon can you have them ready?

Less than half an hour, I hope.

Good.

The traps are ready.

I still think we should have given her a more clear message.

-If she doesn't get it-- -She'll get it.

Why are you so sure?

Mendoza didn't look so smart to me.

I don't care what you think.

Hey, check this out!

Guess who visited our human rights foundation website?

When was that?

Fifty-three minutes ago.

They went into our contacts,

they looked at our story, and looked for your name.

Well… the one we made up.

And this is the best of all, look.

The IP address corresponds to government servers.

That means the plan is working.

We can't be so sure.

Right now it just means they're checking the data, which is good.

Have you checked the critical points?

No, we were waiting for you.

You're supposed to be the intelligence specialist, right?

Well…

At least someone knows what I'm worth.

When you have something concrete, we'll talk about it.

Hey, Russian…

No drinking. We're working.

What?

Grab your car.

Come on, roll it over there.

Come on, roll it, let's race.

Four, three, two, one!

Great! You're stronger every day.

Again.

I can't do it again, son,

I have many important things to do.

But go eat. Sandra, give the kid something to eat.

I want my mom to cook me something.

Your mom is not here, son. How's she going to cook for you?

Go with Sandra.

Come on, Sandra, please. Take the kid, give him something to eat.

Give him some soup, huh? Warm. Tasty.

Bye, son.

-It was perfect, sir. -They look good?

-Very good photos. -Great.

As soon as they're ready, I'll prepare the speech.

So?

What do the polls say about the possible reelection?

Just as you said, sir. It's a success.

It's trending, everyone is talking about it.

I have scheduled my team for some polling to check people's reaction,

but this is a success.

They're my people, huh?

Sir, do you know when the First Lady is coming back?

Why?

I know it's none of my business, sir,

but people are starting to ask about her.

In this reelection, it'd be good for us to have her support.

People voted for me, not for the First Lady.

-Okay? -I know that,

but they love the First Lady.

-Ready? -Ready.

Go see if Tatcher put it.

Excuse me.

You just found that, then?

Just this in locker 15, sir.

No one saw you, right?

No one at all.

Perfect.

Make sure no one comes in.

Sure, sir.

Hello.

Hey, so do I need the cell phone or what?

Absolutely.

Did you check the data?

Not yet, but I hope I can use it.

Well, that's all there is.

Enough to get you started.

Your speech today wasn't well received.

What? Why?

Did they not like the possible reelection?

Neither that nor the submission thing.

Do you have any idea what kind of people you're messing with?

People capable of infiltrating the driver of the president of Mexico…

What?

Just what I said.

But I handled that, don't worry.

And you know what?

I gave that speech so those fuckers know who they are messing with.

I've dealt with many problems, and I'm not scared.

You're getting into a very dangerous arena.

…won't rest until they see you gored.

Let's take the bull by the horns.

Those fuckers tried for four years to take me down.

They have never won.

And you know what?

Things are getting harder for them.

Neither them nor anyone else knows

that they'll face a problem they won't be able to stop.

At least sing or something!

Silence is making me crazy.

There has to be something else.

La cucaracha, la cucaracha

Hey! Don't ignore me, bitch.

I'm going to be honest.

I don't have anything against Mexicans…

I just wish I could talk to you.

Did you know that this practice comes from the Catalans?

It's like meditating.

From the Catalans.

I met a girl who only listened to Mexican music…

She was American, but…

There's nothing here.

Every three days, I wake up at that time,

when it's not day, but it isn't night either.

Three.

Three.

Every three chapters.

Six…

How long do you think the gray hour lasts?

I think around 20 minutes.

Twenty.

Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty.

"Tesa, we're getting you out."

Oleg.

Fuck you, say something!

Fucking bitch.

Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty.

"Tomorrow after the second meal."

So soon?

"You have to trick the guards."

Fuck…

Have you used this method before?

Three times in the DEA.

How many survived?

Just one.

The Russian knows that?

Of course he does.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

The poison is in the pages.

I won't get killed.

Yes, of course, I understand,

but Sofía is actually a very good girl.

Yes, of course, got it.

Three-day suspension, but you won't be expelled.

I don't know why the principal was involved.

Because the fight was among students from that school,

-and the code-- -Okay. What are they doing to him?

Juanjo, he started it.

Sofía, you had the knife.

The knife wasn't mine, I told you.

It doesn't matter, because you're staying.

No, that doesn't matter.

I'd rather fail the year than be humiliated.

No, Sofía! Sofía, don't do this!

You can't be fighting with them every time they bully you!

Really? You don't know anything

about all the crap those assholes did to me.

Just because I'm the daughter of Teresa Mendoza.

You have to learn to control yourself.

Imagine what could've happened to Ray if I wasn't there.

Sorry. Honestly, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have left him alone.

No, wait, Sofía, there's one condition for you to go back.

You have to apologize to Juanjo in public.

Sofía, this is the fourth school this year.

I have nowhere to put you, Sofía.

Don't you dare close the door!

Sofía. You're being very unfair.

For real, Sofía, open the door!

Oleg? It's me, Sofía.

My mom was captured, they just took her. And I'm…

Oleg, please, I don't know what time it is there, but I need you to pick up.

I've called you many times, please. I need you to call me, it's urgent.

Oleg.

-Hello? -Paloma?

Paloma, it's me, Sofía, thank you for picking up.

I don't have time to talk,

but I need you to pick me up in Australia.

Please.

I WON'T FUCKING APOLOGIZE TO YOU

My car, damn it.

Thank you for waiting. We can go now.

Oleg.

Don't let me down.

This is for you, dear.

So I can see you again.

Sweetie.

-Sofía, do you hear me? -Mom, where are you?

I'm in the cave.

Mom, who were they?

Well, who else? The DEA assholes.

Honey, I'm going to try to get to the road.

-No, please. -And when I'm there…

You can't leave me here, please.

I need to get these fuckers away from the beach!

It's the only choice we have, okay?

Look, Sofía, I'm going to ask you for a favor.

Listen, if something happens to me…

No, Mommy, please.

I beg you.

Listen to me. If anything happens to me, Sofía…

You know who to call, okay?

Nothing can happen to you, Mom.

Sofía, don't cry, you know I care for you more than anything.

I love you with all my heart, okay?

Mom.

-Hello? -Did you hear me?

Hello, Mom?

I love you!

Mom? Hello?

I love you with all my heart.

I love you, Mom.

On your knees.

Sofía, Sofía, it's me.

Sofía, we can't stay angry forever.

Open up, I'm coming in.

I made some orange juice for you.

Sofía?

Just a moment, excuse me.

Good morning. Your documents?

Vaccines and passport, please.

May I?

You're traveling alone?

Any signed travel authorization?

I'm Italian.

I'm 14 years old.

The authorization is only for Spaniards, you can check that.

Excuse me.

Look, this girl says she's traveling alone.

Yes, officer.

Italians can travel without a certificate.

Perfect, thank you.

You're welcome.

-Everything's fine, safe travels. -Thanks.

Two vans, seven policemen are leaving at this very moment.

Okay. She's on her way.

It's time.

-Any guards in the ambulance? -None in the front, maybe in the back.

No guards seen in the ambulance.

-Get back quickly. -Sure thing, coming back.

To your positions.

Come on. Let's do it.

In position.

Here they come. Stay alert.

Jonathan, stand by, you go first.

Just give the order.

Only when I say.

A little bit longer.

Just a little more.

Jonathan, go ahead.

Ready.

Now.

She's here!

Can you hear me?

SCENES FROM THE NEXT EPISODE

Come on, Tesa!

Hang in there.

As of today, I control her body and you control her mind.

I'm not interested in playing the role of your First Lady,

let alone your wife.

I'm here, in Santa Marta.

You're here?

Yes, at the airport.

You heard me, be quiet.

We're going to the ATM and we're emptying your account.

Hurry, asshole!

Take all the money you want.

I can pay you, but please let me go.

Please, please…

No!

No!

For your daughter, Tesa! Don't give up!

Tesa, don't leave us!

Don't leave us!

Don't leave us, love. Please, please!
