NOVEMBER 21ST, 2021

Hey, Yhon. How's it going?

Can you do me a favor?

Any chance you can get me
some Club Social whole wheat crackers?

Whole wheat.

Please. I'll pay you back
when you get here.

But only if you have the time.
Don't feel like you have to.

Thanks.

Yhon?

Yeah.

ZOPICLONE

CRIME DIARIES: THE CELEBRITY STYLIST

Zopiclone. What's it for?

Sleeping pills.

Is it strong?

If you take more than one.

"I leave everything
to my nephews and brother".

"I'm sorry, Mom. 1124."

Just the front.

Exhibit A: Handwritten note.

Let me see.

DO NOT REMOVE - EVIDENCE

Same handwriting, I think.
Have it analyzed.

- Got it.
- Ma'am?

His brother won't come out.

You need to come out, Mr. Leal.

Why?

You got my statement.

I know.

But we're sealing off the house.
You need to come out.

This is my house.

I don't want to leave.

I'm really sorry.

Can I see them?

No.

Please.

Why would he do that?

The police can give you a lift.

No. I'll take my van.

Isn't that your brother's?

Sorry, you can't take it.

What about my stuff?

You can take your clothes.

An officer will come with you.

Mauricio Leal was a hairstylist.

The best in Colombia,
according to the media.

He's done everyone,
including the First Lady.

This is a high-profile case.

- You've been with us for...?
- With the DA's office? Seven years.

And you have a rate of success...

of 27%, is that right?

That's what? Top 50 in the country?

- Twenty.
- Among women?

Top 20 prosecutors in the country.

Both men and women.

We're going to trust you.

Drop every other case you have.
From now on...

all of our resources are at your disposal.

Not just from La Calera, also from Bogota.

You report directly to me.

We need results.

You have 20 days.

POLICE

What's that?

Nothing.

Show me.

NEXT TO STYLIST MAURICIO LEAL'S BODY

- How did this get leaked?
- I don't know.

Who was it?

You have any idea of where we are?

There are two victims on that bed.
We're in their house.

And you choose to infringe
on their privacy for what? Money?

Essential personnel only from now on.

The house stays sealed off until I say so.

Got it?

I can't hear you.

Yes, ma'am.

The police just confirmed

that famous stylist Mauricio Leal
was found dead.

His body was found in his home
next to his mother's.

The police are still investigating
the circumstances

and the cause of death.

What's most striking about the case

is the letter that was found
where Leal asks for forgiveness.

Big names in entertainment
have expressed their grief,

Leal being one of the most famous stylists
in the country,

and also an image consultant

for a long list of clients including
models, singers, and beauty queens.

Dublin?

Dublin?

Dublin!

- What is it?
- Oh, now you can hear me?

Of course I did.

- All the way to the other room?
- Yes.

Oh, I get it now.

So Yhonier heard them too.

It could've been in the morning,
when Yhonier left.

Ma'am?

Care to join me?

There's blood here.

And look.

There's more here.

When are we hearing back from the lab?

In a week.

Mauricio didn't have insurance.

I can't pay for their funeral.

Thank you all for being here...

but we won't be opening today.

What's in the cash register?

Around 500,000 pesos.

This is so hard.

And I know you feel the same.

Get them for me?

I'm sorry.

I don't know what else to tell you.

I'm still in shock.

When's the funeral?

I don't know.

Jair, I need to make an errand.
Can you give me a lift?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

He came back with Jair,
Mauricio's driver, at 2:34?

- Is that right?
- That's right. 2:34 p.m.

Mrs. Rebeca, right?

I'm here to see if you'd let me come in
to get a few things.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Jair, right?

But you took your clothes.

I did, but I need some other stuff.

Like what?

Bank account login info.

The salon has to pay salaries
and vendors soon.

I don't have the money to do it.

Mauricio had no insurance.

I understand your position. I really do.

But I can't let you in.

That's malfeasance.

The accounts aren't even yours.

I know you're hurting,
but don't you ever threaten me again.

Go bury your mother and brother,
and then we'll talk.

See you later, Jair.

My son.

My sweet Maíto.

You're my little angel, sweetheart.

I love you. Thank you for your presents,

your flowers, your teddy bears.

Thank you, baby.

I love you.

FORENSICS

We found this broken blade in his abdomen.

It's not the one
that was sticking out of him.

Leal probably had both knives
from the start.

Is he right-handed?

Yeah.

Judging by the angle, the wounds weren't
self-inflicted by a right-handed person.

- So he was murdered.
- He was.

- Are you sure?
- One hundred percent.

He also has four main lacerations

and other superficial wounds.

We also found some bruising
on his forearms and nose.

Defense wounds?

- Inconclusive, but I think so.
- Yhonier's hand was wounded.

Window of death?

Anywhere between 24 and 36 hours
before the autopsy,

which was Tuesday at 1:00 p.m.

So it could have happened
after Yhonier left.

Double homicide.

From now on, this is going to be
the main hypothesis

in the investigation to find
who's responsible for the murder

of renowned stylist Mauricio Leal
and his mother.

The statement made today
by attorney general Barbosa

came as no surprise to some
of the stylist's family and friends,

who had always thought
this was a homicide.

This deduction was reached
following forensic analysis

of the bodies of Mauricio Leal
and his mother.

2 YEARS BEFORE THE MURDER

Wait, just a second.

Mother?

Come here, Mother.

Let's take a picture.

- What?
- A picture.

Good evening.

I know everyone here knows me.

My name is Yhonier Leal.

I'm Mauricio's brother.

I'm so excited.

Did you guys know that Maíto
started off washing hair in Cali?

He wanted to be a stylist.

I used to tell him, "Maíto,

follow your dreams."

And he listened to me.

And not just that!

He brought us all along for the ride
in his own dream.

Thanks to Mauricio,

I have become
the best colorist in this country.

Maíto put his heart and soul
into this place.

It took a toll on his health.

I want us to take a minute to recognize
the efforts of the family who stood by him

through all these years.

Every employee, every stylist
who's here with us tonight.

But especially,

this woman.

Mrs. Marleny Hernández.

My mother.

Without you, none of this
would have been possible.

Candelo, take it away!

Mother of mine

Sweet mother of mine

You're running through my mind

Every single minute of every single day

Mother

I'm right here by your side

I'm right here, doing everything

To make you happy

Sweet mother of mine

I will always fight for you

Sweet mother of mine

I won't ever turn my back

Mother of mine

So many nights I've cried

Knowing so well that there'll come a day

When you're bound to leave me

Mother of mine

I'm right here by your side

I'm right here, doing everything

To drive every worry away

Thank you for staying.

You have a lovely voice.

- Shame I couldn't sing in there.
- But you sang for him.

- He used to love it.
- He did.

You were coworkers?

We were.

How did you know him?

I'm in charge of the case.

But do you know what this... 1124 meant?

Mauricio's birthday, right?

But that was his cellphone PIN as well.

How do you know that?

I was his community manager.

I uploaded the videos.

Who else got his PIN?

Karen, Jair, and I.

Jair? His driver?

Yeah, Mao's driver.

Did you know
Jair took a picture of the bodies?

What? In the house?

Did you see it?

No, I didn't want to.

But he took it.

Mauricio was my mentor,
the first one to have faith in me.

People are saying you used to resell
his products.

Well, we all have our own bad habits.

And I'm not proud of it.

- I wouldn't kill him for petty cash.
- How do you know he was killed?

You're the cop here.

Someone got too jealous of him.

They think it's about what you have.
It's not. It's about who you are.

Mauricio was so brave.

He did what he wanted.

And that's something
that people can't stand sometimes.

It makes them hurt inside.
They remember how insecure they are.

How they can't be who they want to be.

And so they kill us.

4 MONTHS BEFORE THE MURDER

Check out this reference.

If you use this glitter liquid eyeliner,
it'll look stunning. Wanna try it?

Yeah.

Do you have my blue bowl?

For mixing?

- No, but there's one there.
- It's red.

- Get one out back.
- No. I need mine. Did you take it?

This one?

Yeah.

Did you take it?

I did. Sorry.

Why?

Why what?

- Why did you take it?
- To mix some dye.

It was there, so I took it.

That doesn't mean you can just take it.

- Your phone's there. Can I take it?
- Not the same.

It is. You can't go around
taking other people's stuff.

Rosaura.

Tita Pearl is downstairs. Can do her hair?

Yes, sir.

Yhon, relax, baby.

No, that's not the way to do it.

Why is she still working here
at the salon?

She's charging you
for products she's not using.

Just do your thing. Leave her be.

But she's stealing from you.

She's taking advantage. You don't care.

You know what?

I'm really grateful for the opportunity
and your support,

but I can't do this anymore.

I'm going back to my salon.

There's no coffee.

- Let me get you some.
- Sure.

You said that
because you were close friends.

A couple of months ago,
we lost two of our best stylists.

They told Mao they were going
into business. He was happy for them.

And then?

They posted all these stories
in a familiar salon.

It was Yhonier's.

How did you know it?

That's where I got my haircut.

And why there?

Yhonier was my friend.

- And Mauricio found out.
- He did.

One day, dad needed to drop off his keys
at Yhonier's. He saw them.

Dad was Mao's driver.
They'd been childhood friends.

And I asked Mao
if it bothered him because...

You told him?

Well, yeah. Yhonier was living
in his house and didn't tell him.

But Mao said he was fine with that.

"Business is business," he said.

He did tell us to leave
the major clients to him.

It was weird when I didn't see him Monday.
He was doing Miss Universe that day.

That was his dream. Being her consultant.

You think it was Yhonier?

Do you?

I don't know.

15 DAYS BEFORE THE MURDER

Breathe.

Breathe.

That's it.

Yhon?

Why plastic?

- You don't like them, do you?
- No, I do.

But why plastic? I'm just curious.

I don't know.

So that they'll never die.

Mao?

- Hi, Yhon. What's up?
- Hi.

Sweetheart.

- That's for this month?
- This is just from this week.

But my clients and sponsors
are so generous.

They won't like me
leaving their gifts lying around.

It's a lot. If you see something you like,
help yourself.

But Andre...

left a little something for me.

Thanks.

A "little something"?

I had no idea what it was.
Oh, it's so cute!

Yhon, this would be perfect for you.

And some scissors too.

You can use them at your salon.

- Must be so nice to get these gifts.
- What do you mean?

He's giving it to you. Just take it.

Gorgeous.

Looks great on you.

It looks great with everything.

Andre's just so sweet.

I cooked. Do you want to eat?

Sure.

Why was that weird?

DON'T BRING HER. I NEED TO SLEEP.

He never texted. Voice notes only.

I'M AT THE SALON.
I CAN TELL HER NOT TO GO.

- He'd never use that hand emoji.
- How would you know that? He never texted.

That's not in your statement. Why?

I checked. I got a lot of calls that day.
It was Yhonier.

- When?
- Monday. The day Mao died.

He...

Look, he called twice at 1:11
and three times at 1:22.

We got there.
He gave me the keys to open the door.

See, he didn't come with me.

It was his mom and brother.

I went inside,

went past the dining room.
It was so quiet.

I went back to the car.
Yhonier was there, staring off into space.

I told him the house was quiet.

Boss?

Mom?

We went to Marleny's room.
The bed wasn't made. Her phone was there.

- Boss?
- So weird.

Yhonier wanted to call the police.

I didn't want to. If he was sleeping,
he was going to get pissed.

I went outside to take a peek
through the glass door in the back.

The curtain was in the way.

So I thought I'd try the door.

And it was wide open.

They always close that sliding door.

I shouted,

"Bro, they're dead!"

Yhonier just said...

What did you do, Mao?

Don't you see?

No, I don't.

He was still outside when he shouted,
"What did you do?"

How did he know?

How did you know?

Well, they were so pale.

There was a knife in him. There was blood.

How long have you known Mauricio?

Since we were six.

We worked together.

I called Mrs. Marleny "Mother."

Why did you tell 911 Leal killed himself?

- There was a note, some pills...
- So you did approach.

I did.

Did you touch anything at the crime scene?

I did not.

- You didn't?
- No.

Did you take pictures?

- I didn't.
- You didn't?

No.

No.

I did take one, but I deleted it.

That was when the cops arrived.

You know Mauricio's PIN?

1124.

Why did you have that?

It was the same as Mrs. Marleny's,

the same he used
for the devices at the salon.

Did you touch Leal's phone after he died?

- I didn't.
- Sure?

Like you didn't take any pictures?

- I'm sure.
- You're sure.

Anything you want to add?

Two days later, Yhony took me to lunch.

He said he had a lawyer
who had some suggestions for us.

Yhony was like, "And I got out.
I opened the door. I went in."

And I reminded him

that it had been me who'd done all that.

And he goes, "Right."

You think it was him?

I don't know.

Hard to believe he killed his mother.

You think it was me, don't you?

You have a flat tire.

I don't.

Look.

Goddamn!

- Let me give you a hand.
- I'm good.

Come on.

I said no. I'm good. Fuck off.

I'm sorry, okay?

I hate getting home late.
I hate going off on you.

- I'm really sorry.
- It's okay. What's wrong?

I'm so sorry.

Sit.

Let me change your tire.

- I can take you home if you want.
- Not yet.

Bravo!

Well done, sweetheart.

Is that for your show?

- Have your friends' moms seen it yet?
- All of them.

You're the only one who hasn't seen it.

You'll do great.

Mom, I need some purple tights
for my talent show.

Why?

For my talent show.

But why? You have a bunch already.

I don't have any purple ones, though.

It's not like it'll break our bank.

It's not about the money.

So?

She's got so many.
She hardly needs another pair.

But that's the outfit.

You picked the outfit.
You can change it too.

That's enough!

What's wrong?

Just buy her the tights!

Why do you always need to make things
so difficult?

We were going to enjoy tonight!
You blew it.

It's okay.

Everything's fine.

Let's go upstairs.

Is she asleep?

She is.

Sorry about that.

You bring out the worst in me.

It sounds like a big deal.

The case.

It sounds big. Important.

It is.

Yeah, I've been watching the news.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Know why they killed him yet?

Jealousy, I think.

I'm so jealous of you.

That's no reason to kill you.

Be careful.

Gaby.

Gaby.

What would you bring along
if we had to leave?

We need to leave right now?

No.

No, but what would you take?

Oh, Mom, I'm too sleepy right now.

Sleep well.

I'm sorry about everything. I love you.

I'm sorry about everything. I love you.

- Want me to play it again?
- No.

Got a couple more. Unintelligible.

Checked against
1500 voice samples from Leal.

My professional opinion? It's not him.

- What's the timestamp?
- 6:22 a.m.

The WhatsApp message
on Jair's phone says 6:19.

He got the note at 6:22.

Mauricio didn't send it.

This is for you.

It's a note created at 5:55,
and edited at 6:15.

"I'm taking her with me."

"She wouldn't stand the loneliness."

"Alcohol and depression
would get the best of her."

"Can't find peace like that."

- He's talking about...?
- Himself, I guess.

"I'm sorry, Mother.
We're going to Heaven together."

"We've just gone through so much.
I'm sorry about treating you wrong."

"The meds are making me like this."

This is bullshit. Give me that.

"The meds are making me like this.
They keep me going."

"I'm always smiling, but I keep thinking
about ending things..."

This is bullshit. What the fuck?
Who talks like this?

He obviously didn't write this.

We know it's not suicide.

This letter is a cover-up.

They tortured him,
forced him to write this.

That would explain all the wounds.

They took it too far.

So all they got was the short note
we found on paper.

That's why they added the PIN.

So we'd find this longer note.

So he was killed before 5:55.

- Thanks for meeting me.
- No problem.

- What's that on your hand?
- They're renovating my house.

I leaned against a brick and cut myself.

But you're okay?

- May I?
- Sure.

Is this all yours?

No. It was Mauricio's.

It's nice.

And this chair?

Was that Mauricio's as well?

No, it was for his customers.

I was never one of those,
but do you mind if I sit?

Go ahead.

Is Yhonier spelled with a Y or a J?

It's spelled with a Y on my ID.
I write it with a J.

- When was your last haircut?
- March last year.

Mom used to do it.

Who cuts your hair? Mauricio? Yourself?

No, a guy at my salon does it.

Why someone else?

If a family member died,
would you handle the case?

That depends.

I love some more than others.

Do my makeup.

Why would you want that?

No one's done my makeup before.

Why do you want me to do it?

They say you're really good.

And if that's true, then you can prove it.

But don't cut my hair.

Please.

You moved in with Mauricio
four months ago?

- I did.
- Weren't you fed up?

I was, but I was getting separated,
and they were sick.

Mauricio had a lung transplant
about two years ago,

but that didn't take.

The pain made him so depressed.

Oh, ma'am, it's just... so hard.

What is?

Lean back.

It's hard. It's so hard.

It's all these models and actresses.
Listening to them constantly.

All these celebrities
who just wouldn't shut up

about how he was the absolute best,
the prodigy of hairdressing,

how he made them feel more confident.

Well, it's just so easy for them.

Not so much for people like you and me.

Are you saying I'm ugly?

I would never.

But you know what I mean.

In a place like this,
you feel like people are judging you.

- You feel judged often?
- Don't you?

I look at you
and know you don't want to look

like one of those actresses
in the cover of a magazine.

You're you.

- You learned this from Mauricio?
- I'm self-taught.

Weird.
Styling was never your passion, was it?

That's right.

- Your younger brother led the way.
- Indeed.

- You wanted to be a singer.
- I did.

Yet the recording artist was Mauricio.

I spent all my time taking care of mom.

Indulging her every whim.

That's why I moved in with them.
I wanted to be there for her.

But they just went on and on
about how they were soulmates.

Together to the very end.

I know Mauricio was in pain.

That's no reason to kill my mother.

No matter how many painkillers he took.

Hard to off yourself on painkillers.

That's not the only thing he took.

He balanced it out with zopiclone.

That sure had him out like a light
in a heartbeat.

When he couldn't sleep,
it was a day of fury for him.

Was he ever violent to you?

Never.

Mauricio... He was such a sweet man.

But he didn't like it one bit
when mom hit the bottle.

Their relationship
was such a toxic sort of thing.

Like your relationship with Mauricio.

Hardly.

I had a great relationship with Mauricio.

Can I try something with your eyes?

Who could've broken into your house?

Oh, I don't know.

Anyone could've done it.
I actually don't have any... suspects.

He was always arguing with Carlos Andrés.

His brother?

Yeah, the one who's in jail.

Close your eyes for me.

He would just get so angry
at all the lies that he told him.

All he ever did was ring him up
asking for money.

Oh, and also my driver.

Your driver?

Mauricio's driver, I mean.

Close them.

All done.

So?

Did you like it?

No.

It's just not me.

Morning.

Thanks for meeting me.

I did it because I want to know
what happened to my brother and mother.

- When did you last speak to your mom?
- Sunday before she got killed.

It'd been my birthday the day before.

I spoke to Mauricio too.

What about Yhonier?

Today.

We were meeting our lawyer
to talk about the inheritance.

Already?

Being here is expensive.

Mauricio used to give me a hand,
sending me money monthly.

Why are you in for?

I was accused of child molestation.

Wrongly accused.

Did Mauricio have enemies?

He got some threats long ago.

They even killed one of his coworkers.

We never did find out why.

Was he involved with anyone
who was part of the drug trade?

Mauricio?

Of course not.

He left Cali
and steered clear of that whole mess.

And now?

No.

Yhonier?

Not even close.

Even gangsters steer clear.

His salon is completely bankrupt.
Debt well into the hundreds of millions.

That's why he needs that money.

Rebeca Soto?

Yeah?

Alba Valbuena. We need to talk.
I'm a friend of Mauricio's.

Tell me.

On the 21st, I was
at Mauricio's building with a client.

I went in to say hi at about 8:30.

I went near the garden,
and I heard some shouting.

It was Marleny. "Drop it already, Yhon."
He said, "It's always the same with you."

And then, a bang.

It was loud,

like a door slamming
or a table being knocked over.

But hearing all of this,
why didn't you knock?

I don't know.

Didn't feel like a good time.

INTERVIEW WITH YHONIER LEAL

Everyone is... entitled to their own opinion.

They have the right to think whatever
and make their own assumptions.

But the only thing I know
and the only word I trust

is whatever information
comes from the DA's office

about what they found in the crime scene.

Being judged like this is painful,

but, again, I'm waiting
on the findings of the DA's office.

This is a tragedy
that's quickly become a media event

with Yhonier in the eye of the storm.

He says all this judging is painful,

he says he spends his days mourning
the death of his mother and brother.

- He's wearing his jacket.
- Sure is.

He wants you to think
he's wearing his clothes

because he misses him so.

- I don't know.
- Morning.

Morning.

Excuse me.

You're usually the one who comes to me.

If you're seeing me here,
it means there's trouble.

Is something wrong, sir?

- You tell me.
- No, sir.

- Positive?
- Yes.

Then why is this guy's face
all over the news and we're not?

This isn't just high-profile anymore.
This case is a symbol now.

We're making a statement.

I'm here to help you stir things up a bit.

We're seizing Mauricio Leal's assets.

- Why?
- Money laundering.

It's got nothing to do with you.
Just letting you know.

The DA's going to rule this
as a double homicide.

We need to close this case ASAP.

Properties belonging
to famous stylist Mauricio Leal

were raided in north Bogota and La Calera
by CTI agents and the Prosecutor's Office

in an operation to find evidence
of alleged money laundering.

Bullshit.

5 DAYS BEFORE THE MURDER

Your hair needed some attention.

Ugh, I know.

Maíto used to take care of me,

but now he's so busy,
I always get his assistants.

But that's good.
That means he's doing well.

He's doing great.

He's opening salons all over the place.

He's opening a huge salon in Cajicá
and another one in Miami.

Nice.

I'm just worried
that it might go to his head.

I hope it doesn't.

Let's hope not.

Are you involved in all this?

No. I like to keep my things
under control.

But you started together, right?

We did. Well, kind of.

That sucks.

- Why?
- Where's his support?

No, that's okay, baby.

Because, you know?

The only thing
that's worse than disloyalty

is bitterness.

Luckily, that's not my thing.

But the thing is Mauricio is very sick.

It's bad.

Yeah.

Poor thing.

But the good thing is I'm here with you.

Wouldn't you like to work
for Miss Universe?

We're in talks.
I might become a presenter for them.

You could give me your portfolio
and I could hook you up.

Can you imagine?

If it works out, you could do my makeup.

Yeah.

Yhonier! What's going on?

It's okay. I'm looking for something.

What?

- What are you looking for?
- The DVD folder.

- The one with all the movies?
- Yeah.

It's right there, on the side table.

- What are you drinking?
- Soda.

- You're the one who took it?
- No.

You brought it for movie night.

Can you pass me the soda?

What are you looking for?

My portfolio DVD.

They'll hook me up with Miss Universe.

That's great!

Maíto is doing their CEO next Monday.
Ask him to help.

Sure.

I will.

Can you pass me the soda?

MAURICIO LEAL - FLYING HIGH

This is a clear-cut case.

But this guy is smarter than we think.

We don't know where Marleny was killed.
Or whether there was a break-in or not.

Or whether he was alone.

Was he? Were you there?

- Who cares?
- How can you say that?

Look.

This is the biggest case in our careers.

It matters. The difference between
manslaughter and homicide is 30 years.

I don't want him to go free in 10 years.

Do you?

- I don't want to get kicked out.
- Then we need to solve it.

I'd been working for them for 15 years.

Where do you want me to start?

Wherever you want.

That stool belonged
to Mrs. Marleny's room.

I'm sorry for putting you through this.

Can you see anything else?

That mop shouldn't be there.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Mrs. Marleny was very strict about that.

And the cleaner was kept downstairs.

And the bed? I put white sheets on it.

And that blanket...

is Mr. Mauricio's.

You think they changed the sheets?

I...

I need to get some air.

This room was cleaned.

They killed her here,
changed the sheets, and moved her.

But why move her?

Show me your hands.

How did that happen again?

I... I cut myself. Working at the salon.

You said it was with a brick.

No.

It was at work.

Scissors?

Not a knife?

Why would Mauricio kill himself
next to Marleny?

He wanted them in Heaven together.

That was on the suicide note,
which you didn't see.

So thoughtful.

Killed her
so they'd be together in Heaven.

Her aorta and vena cava were severed.

The bed must've been drenched,
but we only found that stain.

Marleny was stabbed here.

But checking the body in the other room,
the shirt had a bloodstain here.

There's a drift. She was moved.
The sheets were changed, the room cleaned.

- That's the floor stain you found?
- Yes, sir.

I'm thinking he was drugged.

We found
a couple of empty bottles of zopiclone.

Positive toxicology
for hydromorphone and hydrocodone.

He drugged him?

Maybe he slipped them,
maybe he forced him.

These were the wounds.

This is what I'm thinking.

Mauricio was asked to write the note.
He refused.

Hence, the bruising on the nose
and shoulder, the cuts.

Then they stabbed him so hard
the blade broke.

Yhonier's hand must've slipped.
That's probably where he got that cut.

Mauricio couldn't write the note.
So he was forced to add his PIN, 1124.

The full note was left on his phone.

I would add torture charges.

Yhonier went to the kitchen
for another knife to finish the deed.

Just like this.

The angle of the wounds
indicates he didn't do it himself.

The first stab wasn't strong enough,

so he stabbed him again

and placed his hands on the handle:

The evidence for the homicide charge.

Hey, Yhon. How's it going?

Can you do me a favor?

I know it can be a pain,
so it's only if you have the time.

Or maybe you won't find
any stores open at this hour.

Or maybe you're just tired.

But, Yhon, any chance you can get me
some Club Social whole wheat crackers?

Whole wheat.

I'll pay you back when you get here.

But only if you have the time.
Don't feel like you have to.

How can you prove it was him?

The blood on his toilet siphon.

DNA tests were inconclusive on that.

Because he bleached it out.
No one else used that bathroom.

No one else was here. We can assume
he washed the blood off, then bleached it.

And he moved Marleny.

THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER

Yhon?

Yeah.

How was your drive?

Got you the crackers. Want some?

In a bit.

Found a box with all your albums.

Where?

In my room.

Oh, right.

- I'll get them out tomorrow.
- It's okay.

I listened to your song again.

It's pretty good.

Thanks.

What about this?

Leave them in the kitchen.

Do you think it was planned?

No, sir.

Why not?

Everything was so clumsy.

I think he's trapped
in a frustrating life.

He's always played the loser
to his brother's hero.

All these little grievances piled up

and he just lost it in the end.

It got out of hand.

- Did you find Marleny's sheets?
- No, sir.

Anything else?

There might've been a fourth suspect
helping him, but I can't prove it.

Who?

I don't know.

I'll get the evidence at the hearing.

I'm requesting the seizure warrant.

Great work, Miss Soto. Well done.

But we're not arresting him
on Christmas Eve.

Why not?

No one would be watching.

You win this case at court,

but you also win it in the media.

With all due respect, I have autonomy.

You're right.

You do.

That's something our Attorney General
values in all of his delegates.

But you see,
you're no longer part of the case.

What?

You're a mother, correct?

We're going to relocate you.

We don't want your responsibilities
to be affected by the case.

It's like a promotion. You'll accept.

Won't you?

Thank you.

You did great. Really.

Thanks.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 14TH, 2022

Yhon.

The CTI and the DA
are underway in their efforts

to find the culprit
for the murder of Mauricio Leal

and his mother, Marleny Hernández.

...Stylist Wonder Boy.

- On top of the world.
- ...the way the bodies were found...

The police were immediately contacted.

Mauricio was focused
on his work and his family.

An honest man who would never...

Breaking news.

- The DA revealed...
- The world of show business...

The DA assured that all investigations...

The question remains for many.
If it wasn't suicide. Who killed him?

Mr. Leal?

Yeah?

We have an arrest warrant.

Thank you, your Honor. First,

I had the opportunity
to speak with my counsel,

and I feel satisfied
with the advice received,

so I've made a very personal,
very important decision...

of my own free will.

I'll be pleading guilty to the charges,

accepting a deal with the DA's office.

I'm taking the opportunity to express
my deepest regret over these events.

First and foremost, I want to apologize

to my family, to my kids...

to the victims,

to Colombia...

for the events that transpired.

I'm committed to making sure
nothing of this nature will happen again.

Thank you, your Honor.

Did someone else help you?

You can tell me. I'm off the case now.

You won't say a word.

Mauricio once said that he'd been blessed.

Maybe he was right.

He got it so easy,
his every wish fulfilled.

You wanted to sing. He got the record.

You hit rock bottom,
and he kept flying higher and higher.

Broke, divorced.

Always second best.

Not even your mother's favorite.

But everyone's going through something.

You're just some sad loser. Nothing new.

Insecure, just like me,
the people next door, or some random Joe.

And the worst part
is that I know you're enjoying this.

The center of attention.

A celebrity.

Mostly, you're happy they're gone.

You finally got the upper hand.
They can't fuck you over.

Mauricio might've been an angel,
but you're no devil.

You're just a sad fuck.

Ma'am?

I like how I did your makeup.
