A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

There's something about you that I don't like.

You think you're decent.

Do you know why I don't like that?

Because I don't trust decent people.

They're decent because they're afraid.

I saw you in the van acting like a little whore with Labarde.

I know he's stronger than you,

but if I find out that you had sex before you turned 18,

I'll sew you up, understand?

Hello?

Tomorrow, at ten in the morning, we will call you

and tell you where you need to pick up the next communication.

Wait... Don't hang up.

How do you stand all this?

How do you stand all this?

I have a girlfriend.

Does she know who you are?

She knows who I am up there.

We're going to have a family.

And my mother wasn't even that upset about it.

-What did she say? -That as soon as it's born,

we're going to give it up for adoption.

-No... -There's still time.

I'm not going to tell anyone the truth.

This is someone I trust completely.

She's placed hundreds of babies,

born in captivity.

Children of guerrillas

who ended up living with wonderful families.

I want to ask you a favor.

Don't kill her.

It's not too late.

I'm going to ask you a question.

Have you ever seen me kill anyone?

You know what I mean.

What, have you suddenly come down with compassion?

I can understand it for a brother, for a mother,

for a friend, even for a girlfriend.

But for a ratty old bag?

Don't be ridiculous.

Who's this?

I'm Lucas, her son. And who is this?

Someone who knows where your mother is.

Do you know what this means?

If you want to recover her alive...

you'll need to do business with me.

She doesn't have much time.

She's sick and being held in very bad conditions.

-I'll call you again tomorrow. -What do we do?

Wait. Tell me what to do. What do you want me to do?

Get half of the money together that the other person asked you for.

Then I'll tell you who has your mother...

and where she is.

COURT HEARING, 1985

It's a family.

That's what they do. They kidnap people.

The leader is Arquímedes Puccio.

One of the sons is well-known.

He plays rugby.

Alejandro Puccio.

He's the deliverer.

And he opens the gates of Hell.

A guy showed up the other day who says he knows you.

He gave a testimony that strongly implicates you.

Who?

Gustavo Bonomi.

He says you turned over Federico Olsen.

That you were in charge of opening the gate.

He told the judge,

"Alejandro Puccio

was the gatekeeper of Hell."

Alejandro Puccio tried to commit suicide.

The firefighters are taking out the gurney...

with the body of Alejandro Puccio who, we can see,

is bleeding from the head.

Doctor, what is his status?

Is he alive, Doctor?

-He's alive, sir. -He's conscious.

MONTHS EARLIER...

Action.

My sons,

I want you to know that I am all right.

A family has kidnapped me,

the Puccio family.

Don't pay a ransom because they're not going to let me go.

Are you going to do it the right way?

-Yes? -Yes!

Yes.

Come here. Bring the shovel.

Stand there.

-Are you going to do it right? -Yes.

-Yes. -Record.

Look a little happier because your family isn't going to believe you.

Look a little happier.

Action.

Marco...

Lucas...

I want you to know that I'm fine,

that I'm taking my medication,

that I'm eating well.

When they let me go,

I'll explain the reason for my detainment.

It was for a cause that benefits all human beings.

I've done some things that weren't right.

You never know what you have...

until it's gone.

-Stop! -Those bastards are going to kill her!

-It will all be okay. Don't worry... -This is all screwed up!

We can't pay two ransoms.

-What are we going to do? -I believe the other guy.

We don't have to believe anyone, or fall for that game.

The leader is going to call that idiot to get his money and start trouble.

We have to intercept them beforehand.

-You're not going to pay any ransom. -We don't have time.

What the hell do we do? We have to make a decision.

We pay half, and half, we don't pay.

We have to decide something. What do we do?

We have to intercept the call from where the payment will take place.

That's what we have to do.

I can't get out.

What?

Nothing.

What did you say?

Nothing. I said that I love you.

You can't get out of where?

From this house of shit.

I can't take my family anymore.

I could kill Arquímedes and Maguila at any moment.

You're crazy.

Yes, they're driving me crazy.

Alex...

you've been saying for years that you want to get out of here.

When you had money, you squandered it, or you bought that motorcycle,

which is dangerous.

So now it's my fault that I don't have any money?

What do you want me to do? Rob a bank?

I'm not saying that.

You're stressed. You've been treating everyone badly.

No, not everyone. Just Arquímedes.

Now you call him Arquímedes?

-What's going on with you, Alex? -Nothing.

We were arguing.

Arguing about what?

Family stuff. It's between me and him.

Something's going on between you two...

that you're not saying.

Or that you're just not telling me.

You know that I love your father.

But sometimes he gets out of hand,

and you let him...

I let him what?

You let him manipulate you.

When you live in the same house as a son of a bitch,

and you're also flat broke, like me,

you have to put up with it.

I'm not saying your father is a son of a bitch

or that you're flat broke.

No, l'm saying it.

I'm going to take a bath.

Come in.

-Can I come in? -Sure.

Hi, beautiful. Come in.

You know that you're like a daughter to me, right?

You're really not busy?

For you? No.

I'd like to talk to you for a minute.

I'm listening.

It's about Alex.

I suspected that.

I'm worried about him.

Sometimes he seems...

fine, happy...

and then suddenly he'll start acting strange,

like he's afraid.

Alex is introverted.

But... it's like he's not even there.

-That's normal. -Normal?

Alex didn't use to be like this.

He wants to be an adult, and he's not.

He wants to take on responsibilities, and he doesn't know where to start.

That makes him stressed.

We're going to get married. Of course we're adults.

He's been fighting a lot with me recently.

It's mutual. Isn't it?

I can't do any more than what I'm already doing for my children.

I even offered to give you a business to help you out.

Yes, I know.

But he's like this because of his relationship with you.

He thinks that he has produced nothing from his own merit.

So he goes around, thinking he's a lowlife.

Well, he's right.

He hasn't earned any of what he has.

One sins through excess.

You give to them, and you give.

You keep giving.

Alejandro doesn't know what need is.

I don't know what happened between you two.

But we're getting married, and I can't stand seeing him like this.

I don't understand.

I love this family.

You've always made me feel like I'm a part of it.

But Alex needs...

you to let him go.

You're being very unfair to me, child.

I need Alex to be happy.

A...

it's very frustrating.

To feel...

to feel that everything I do isn't enough to make him happy again.

I'm sorry.

But I can't take it...

and even though you may start hating me after this...

Alejandro is like this...

because he feels like he's being watched by you all the time, Arqui.

Will you do me a favor, dear?

On the way out, on the left, is the girl's bathroom.

You're familiar with it.

There's a wonderful bidet.

Why don't you go and give your engagement ring a good wash?

I'm sick and tired of cleaning up after you all.

I'm not a maid.

You're men, only when it suits you, and that's it.

And your sisters...

For God's sake. Both of them give me a headache.

I'm sick of it.

Do you only talk to me to criticize me?

Because I don't remember ever having a conversation with you

that didn't involve you criticizing me.

What are you talking about?

You heard me.

Never in your whole damn life

have you sat down with me to have a normal conversation as most mothers and sons do.

First of all, stop with the attitude.

You don't talk to me that way. Not you, not your brother, understand?

Why are you always comparing me with that idiot?

That son of a bitch.

You think he's better than me because he has a girlfriend just like you,

blonde and stupid?

And instead of following me around and spying on me,

pay attention to your daughters because one turned out to be a whore

and the other, a dyke.

What?

MEIN KAMPF

What are you doing out here, sweetheart?

It's cold.

Sometimes I don't know if I'm dreaming or not.

Can you explain what you mean?

I don't know how to explain it.

It's like...

there's something strange happening all around.

Like everything is a weapon.

Am I making any sense?

No, I don't understand, actually.

I can't explain it any better.

But you're at a very pivotal age, sweetheart.

Your body is all mixed up.

That's why you feel strange sometimes, right?

Mom?

Have you ever heard voices?

Where?

In your head.

We all hear voices.

Really?

Really.

It's normal.

It's normal to feel like you're going crazy?

It's more normal than you think.

It's normal to feel like you're going crazy?

Yes, it's normal.

Why doesn't anyone ever tell you that?

I don't know.

Dear...

Dear...

What?

Can we talk?

Not today, please.

I swear, they drive me crazy.

Well, since we're both in bed,

you're going to have to listen to me.

I feel like we're losing control of everything.

I'm sick with worry, and I don't have anyone to talk to.

Daniel is very violent.

I had a talk with Adriana that scared me a little.

I'm going to take her to a doctor.

-And Silvia... -Stop, stop.

-Why are you taking her to a doctor? -I'm telling you.

Don't overreact so much, dear, please.

You know that I always let you overreact as much as you need to,

but not today. It's not the time.

I have a thousand things going on in my head.

I'm wrapping up something right now...

and then we'll sit down and talk with the whole family.

Give me a few days, all right?

You know what?

I'm not going to tell you anything.

I'll just let it all explode in your face.

I'm not anybody, ma'am.

Like everyone else.

I'm not anybody.

I like life.

But this staged existence is absurd.

Who's conducting this circus?

That's why I make my own rules.

Because no matter what, they always want to stick it to you.

Or no?

They do always stick it to you.

It's true.

Maybe you're doing the right thing.

Making your own rules.

Even though you may not believe it...

I've learned a few things being here,

things that won't do me any good, anyway, because you're going to kill me.

I never killed anyone.

-No? -I swear on my sons.

How did you manage to convince your entire family to do something like this?

To do what?

Kidnap you?

They convinced me.

They're terrible, those jerks.

Have you read Alice in Wonderland?

No.

Me neither.

We could read it together, no?

I feel like Alice.

I never read it, but I feel like Alice.

It's nice to be able to relate to people, isn't it?

Yes.

It's hard for me.

Very hard.

For me, this way,

it's easier.

Maybe if you hadn't imprisoned me, we would have connected anyway.

But it wouldn't've been the same.

This is special.

You can't let Mom know that you know.

Mom will never know that I know.

Thank you for trusting me.

If she finds out that you know, she'll kill me.

Silvia, tell me what it feels like.

What?

To have a prick inside you.

I don't know.

It's not something you can explain.

Anyway, after a minute, I stopped feeling anything.

It was like someone was shaking me, nothing more.

And so I closed my eyes, and I saw the baby's face.

I can't believe I'm going to be an aunt.

I will have a baby with Labarde.

Adriana, don't even think about it.

I've already thought about it.

They'll be cousins.

That man is so strange.

Everyone says he's an alien.

Because they don't understand how to get to know him.

Nobody makes an effort to understand him.

-Understand what? -Everything he's suffered.

But he...

Are you okay, Sil?

-Are you okay? -No.

This old jerk is always late.

It's my fault for involving a chicken-shit.

You can't trust someone with crispy underpants.

And if the old man talked?

If he betrayed the old lady he was screwing,

he could easily be screwing us too.

Stop, let's not spread the virus of mistrust.

Otherwise, we'll have to shoot ourselves in the balls.

Instead of shooting them, I'd smash them against the door.

Every time I think about the mess we've gotten ourselves into.

What mess have we gotten ourselves into?

If you don't like it, you can leave whenever you want.

Let's not wait anymore, Dad.

Let's leave that old bastard out of this.

Actually, we should find him, kick his ass,

then throw him on Peru Beach, so the fish can eat him.

Instead of the fish, the fishermen will with how hungry they are.

I kept offering to kill him, and nobody listened to me.

Why should anyone listen to you, hard dick?

Stop, Daniel.

We're screwed.

Sir, can you spare some change?

We still haven't been paid, friend.

Could you give me a bit of your sandwich?

Here. Now go away, you mangy bum.

-Thank you, whacko. -What do you mean "whacko", you jerk?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You're sorry? Go away, you bastard.

Take it, here. Take it.

Before I beat the crap out of you.

These stupid poor people.

I'm worried about your level of violence, Daniel.

I can't believe that, everyday, you find someone you want to beat the crap out of.

-Didn't you hear him call me "whacko"? -It's just an expression.

So then I can express myself in whatever way I choose, too.

These two sons of bitches, what are they looking at?

When we've got the money,

take out our portion, and leave the rest in the bag they give us.

And we'll distribute the money from there.

What do you think they're saying?

Uh, let's see.

He's saying that they're going to screw us over with the money.

What are you looking at, jerks?

I'm going to screw you on top of a bridge.

I'm looking you right in the eyes and telling you.

And now...

He's saying they're going to kill you.

Because you touched the girl.

And you, Labarde,

as soon as you put a bullet in the old lady...

I'm going to throw you in the hole with her and fill you with lead.

I'll kill him first.

That's not a bad idea.

I'm going to empty a full magazine into you.

And then another.

We're going to empty two magazines into you, Labarde.

We're going to give it to you, Labarde.

When you least expect it.

Hello! Bolena's sons?

How are you?

This is Martita Bengolea.

I've already kept my word.

You wanted proof of life? You've got proof of life.

Please, don't do anything to her.

We saw the video, and she's in very bad shape.

She's an elderly woman.

We have the money, so please don't do anything to her.

Your mother is better off than you and I put together.

She's in a five star hotel.

On the other hand, if you don't do what I tell you,

she'll be in a much worse place.

Please, tell me the next steps. We already gathered all the money.

We don't want any trouble. We don't want her to suffer, please...

Listen carefully.

This has already taken too long.

You're going to go to the corner of La Rosa and Sims.

Behind the newsstand, there's a pack of cigarettes.

Inside it, you'll find the instructions on where you have to leave the money.

You must deliver the money at five in the afternoon,

not one minute sooner, not one minute later.

Don't try anything smart.

We are watching the area very carefully.

At that exact time, your mother is going to have a pistol at her head.

Please, don't hurt her.

I swear we're not going to call the police.

Do what I tell you,

and the operation will be successful.

If not, you're going to have to prepare a wreath for your mother.

You're screwed, bastards.

I wish I were dead already.

Why?

Because I wanted to die before all this.

That's all. I've already lived my life.

My husband's dead.

My friends all died off, one by one.

And me?

When is it my turn?

Why do you want to die?

Aren't you afraid of dying?

No.

Life is too long.

Everyone says it's short.

They're wrong.

It's too long.

Why didn't you commit suicide?

No.

That's an awful thing to do.

Dad.

I was thinking that...

we should stop bringing guests to the house.

Why do you say that?

I think Mom and the girls are at their breaking point.

Mom and the girls understand the family dynamic better than anyone.

Don't worry about them.

We're going to move anyway.

A bigger house with a different layout.

The one who doesn't understand shit is your brother.

Why aren't they coming?

I don't like this at all.

-Let's go. -I'm going to call.

Police, drop the phone!

Police!

Get out!

Get out!

Hands up!

On the ground!

Don't move!

Son of a bitch.

Hands on your head! Don't move!

You've got the wrong guy.

Really?

Well...

I'll be sure to apologize, later, if it's not you.

Don't move!

The search of Calle Martini, Omar 544, is approved.

Don't go to my house. It's wired with explosives.

Silvia!

No! No!

Let me go! Let me go, son of a bitch!

Don't move! Police!

Belén!

What are you doing? Let me go!

Silvia!

No!

Can I... can I go look?

Mom!

Mom!

Promise me that you will never try to kill yourself again.

If you won't do it for you, do it for me.

SCENES FROM THE FINAL EPISODE

Or for your sisters.

Don't worry. Not even death wants me.

It wasn't easy for you to live with the father you got.

I almost kind of liked what we did.

Didn't you?

They have nothing seriously incriminating against us.

Just the whore, Bolena, and they found her alive.

So we can get out on bail.

I swear I don't know what's happening.

It will all get cleared up.

We're in all the newspapers.

And how do we know that Rojas or Labarde won't talk?

They killed. We didn't.

Do you think your father is a fool?

You didn't know that woman was there?

Sweetheart, how could you even imagine I'd know such a thing?

I don't know.

There must be some truth in everything they're saying.

No.

What is this fool doing?

Your brother is a fool.

I knew it the minute he was born.

I looked at him, and he looked like a fool.

And for a baby to look like a fool...

What did your father do to make you hate him so much?

I've already told you. You don't think that's enough?

It was in the statement.

He made Daniel go with him to the spot where they eventually arrested him.

But he didn't keep me out of it.

Why did he do that?

Because I refused to obey him.

What I don't understand is why your brother,

who should be more under suspicion than you, is about to get released.

-Daniel's about to get out? -Yes.

Tell me why the hell Daniel got out

and I continue to rot in here, you god damn son of a bitch. Huh?

The other day, they attacked us at our house.

Don't abandon us.

I have to live with what I've done.

But you didn't do anything.

Maybe I did.

You're making a fool out of yourself, trying to act repentant.

What do you want?

For your girlfriend to stick with you?

Just like those bastards in San Isidro who left you in a lurch.

Where are your friends now?

Thanks to you,

none of your children have anything.

No friends,

no parents, no siblings, nothing.

Hello?

Hi, dear.

It's me.

I'll be out soon.

Alex, too.

I want to see you.

I want to bring the family back together.

Arquímedes's comments about the abductee are false,

but do relate to real-life events.
