A NETFLIX SERIES

[Lys echoing] Darío.

[ethereal music playing]

[echoing] Darío.

Darío?

[Lys echoing] Darío.

Darío, what are you doing?

Stop it. I don't like this.

Darío.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person."

"Give him a mask,

and he will tell you the truth."

[Alma] None of this makes sense.

[Darío] What?

Nothing.

Not me, not you.

- And not us. - Alma, let's just run away from here.

[Alma] Mmm.

We can run away from all this, make a life together that makes sense.

[Alma sighs]

First, you have to tell me what this means, Darío.

I already explained.

You don't trust me?

[Alma sighs]

[phone ringing]

[Darío] Who is it?

My therapist. She's called me, like, a million times.

Darío, we can't run away from this. Not now.

Yes, we can.

The news said it was a suicide.

Sure, but we have no idea what the police are saying.

Even if they think it's suicide, leaving now would be…

It would be like admitting guilt.

It would change all of this.

[pensive music playing]

We have to go back.

It isn't the right moment to tell them that we're together, hmm?

[Leonardo] Same Darío Guerra who destroyed my family.

[tense music playing]

But all of his records are impeccable. Not a trace of trouble.

I had him thoroughly vetted before I hired him.

You believe he's the son of--

The son of a lawyer who belongs to a well-respected family.

And of a socialite living in Paris.

I almost hired him on as my assistant

until I learned what kind of a psychopath he is.

Except for the slim possibility that he's a twin,

it's the same man.

[tense music continues]

Wait, come back.

Wait. Where do you think you're going?

Darío can't know we suspect him yet.

If this man is who you say, then I'm going to rip his balls off.

We need more time though.

Give me 24 hours.

- What the hell do I do? - You hold back.

Keep an eye on him. Stay close.

Who's handling the investigation?

The detective. Uh, the lead prosecutor, uh…

Montaño, I think.

Uh, Eugenia Montaño. You know her?

No.

But I know someone who knows her very well.

[tense music continues]

I'm serious.

I know she's hiding something.

It's my mom. I can tell.

She's pretending that everything's okay,

but, obviously, something's the matter.

That's all that's bothering you, hmm?

- No. - Ah.

Karina's mad at me

because I made some stupid mistake and pissed her off.

[Esteban] Mmm.

But I'm serious about my mom too.

It might have something to do with the news recently.

That's rough.

Yeah, that poor woman

who supposedly committed suicide, then Darío, all that.

[Esteban] Supposedly? Hmm?

I don't understand.

You really don't give a crap that Darío is back?

No.

How many times do I have to say it?

- [phone ringing] - Unbelievable.

You gonna get that?

I'm going to the bathroom.

[exhales]

[phone continues ringing]

Hey there, ex-judge.

- How's it going? - [Leonardo] Hi, Zoe.

Just arrived in town.

[Zoe] Oh, really?

Here for, uh… Well, some personal business.

So let me be blunt here.

I know your uncle was recently released,

and I'm sure you must know where he is.

- Zoe, I have to speak with him. - What, Zoe?

- [Zoe] Just talk to him. - No, no.

- [Zoe] No… - No, no, no, no.

- Take the call! Just do it! - [Esteban] No!

- Hang up. I mean it, Zoe. - [Zoe] Come on.

No.

[Zoe] He already knows you're here. Do it!

[Esteban] No. No, no. Not a fucking chance. No.

Hang up! Hang up!

- He already heard us. - Hang up!

There, okay?

- What the hell? - What's wrong with you?

You can't hide from him, dude. He heard you.

- [sighs] - [phone ringing]

Damn it. He's calling again.

[sighs]

[Esteban sighs]

What's up, Leonardo?

[man] The DNA tissue on the fingernail doesn't belong to the victim.

Then we're going to need a warrant for collecting samples of DNA.

You have suspects, do you?

[phone ringing]

I'm here, Mendoza.

Ma'am, the woman is leaving now.

- [Eugenia] Is Guerra with her? - No, no. I don't think so.

- You want me to follow her? - No.

I need you to stay on Guerra.

Don't leave until he does.

Copy that.

[knocking at door]

[Íñigo] Darío!

[music fades]

Darío!

[door opens]

Hey, sorry.

I was in the shower.

I couldn't sleep at all last night.

Dario, today I was supposed to be walking my daughter down the aisle.

I know.

I didn't sleep at all either.

I can't get my thoughts in order. I just feel…

distracted, and

I have some things to do. Come with me?

Sure. Of course. I'll be right back.

- Mr. Lazcano? - [Íñigo] Officer.

Well, lucky me. I found you both at the same time.

I have a warrant here

authorizing me to take DNA samples from you.

If you'd come with me for that.

[pensive music playing]

[distant siren blaring]

I thought I was clear with you, Leonardo.

We don't have anything to talk about.

Where's your cane?

They fixed me.

I thought Zoe would have told you.

[laughing]

Life is crazy sometimes, isn't it?

I don't have time for this now.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's been over a year since I've seen you, brother.

And you,

you owe me one.

[Jiménez] Thank you, Mr. Lazcano.

Mr. Guerra, if you'd be so kind.

Of course.

So I take it suicide has been ruled out?

No, nothing's been ruled out as of yet.

That's why we're being thorough, sir.

[Íñigo] But if you're doing these kinds of tests,

does that mean there's a clue as to who was on the roof?

Thanks, Mr. Guerra.

- My apologies again. - No, no. It's not a problem.

I have to get dressed. Excuse me.

Of course, sir.

Mr. Lazcano, do you or Mr. Guerra

have any idea where your daughter's phone is?

- Hmm? What? I'm sorry. - [Jiménez] Sir?

Say again.

Do you or Mr. Guerra know where Julieta's phone might be?

[Leonardo] You're a man of God now.

Yeah.

- I already told you. - And I don't believe it, Esteban.

I suppose you've already seen what happened on the news?

That woman, Julieta Lazcano, was engaged to Darío Guerra.

- Okay. - And you're gonna help me with this.

We'll investigate what really happened to her.

- [Esteban sighs] - You know Montaño well, no?

- I don't do that sort of thing anymore. - Don't give me that bullshit, Esteban.

You don't get it.

It's an opportunity to destroy Darío.

Why on earth would I wanna screw over Darío?

FORENSIC MEDICAL SERVICE

And the fingernails? Who wanted them done this quickly?

The prosecutor.

She also wanted the boyfriend's DNA sample.

I don't know if they'll even have to process the rest.

So then he's the primary suspect.

You know what?

I don't want my boss to see me talking about the case.

- Of course. - But you could come with me for lunch.

- We'll keep talking. - Sure.

Yeah. I also had, um, something to tell you.

I read a forensics article.

Do you remember what kind of fractures the victim had?

Why is that important?

Esteban, I don't know what you're doing with Darío,

but I do know that, not too long ago, you worked with him.

And he must've betrayed you because you ended up in jail.

Hey, man, I don't have time for this, okay?

Have you spoken to Alma?

Have you seen her?

I don't know how she'll react to the news, but I'm worried

that he'll get to Alma first.

That's why I need you, Esteban.

You help me prove that he murdered Julieta.

Help me before Alma gets obsessed with him again.

I can't believe you! Her obsessions aren't my damn problem!

My only problem is my obsession with her.

So I'm sorry, but I can't help you.

It's better if you stay away from me.

[Cata] Sometimes in life, that feeling of happiness is a total lie.

So I said to myself, "Catita,

do you want to put up with this guy for the rest of your life?" No.

Because, believe it or not, even at 55 years old,

I am still desirable.

[continues indistinctly]

- [Alma] Darío, did you tell me the truth? - [Darío] Of course I did, Alma.

You need to have faith in me

the way I have faith in you.

[sentimental music playing]

[Cata] …and he said, "Yours or mine?"

That's rich.

[Íñigo] My father's family bought this place

when they came to Mexico.

They had fled from Spain and made a new life here.

Here in this home.

Then it passed to me.

And Julieta was born here.

We have someone who helps us maintain it, tends the garden, but…

no one's lived here since my wife passed away.

Leaving must've been hard, sir.

I suppose that you

wanted me to come here for a specific reason?

My family's papers for a cemetery plot.

[breathes deeply]

I never thought I'd need them, but…

[phone ringing]

[dial pad beeping]

You tell me where I should look first.

Was that a new phone?

From the airport.

I thought I had left mine behind. Now I have two.

I'll go and look.

[Lys] I've never seen such a lonely woman.

Sorry?

Catalina La Grande.

See, despite all her love talk and conquests

and how bored she is of her spouse,

we can see how she really feels.

Didn't her husband leave her though?

Yeah, she almost checked in to an institution for depression.

But anyway, you didn't wait here for me to talk about Catalina, right?

No.

No, of course not.

Our talk reminded me of a quote from Oscar Wilde.

"A man is least himself when he talks in his own person."

"Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."

Mmm.

You're saying…

[Lys] That quote appeared in my dream last night.

So did Darío.

I thought about you, Alma.

I wanna be here for you.

So…

[phone notification chimes]

Here's my cell.

You can call me anytime.

[footsteps retreating]

[melancholy music playing]

[Íñigo] You all right?

Mmm, I'm not sure. I don't know.

I'm feeling like I can't breathe, or…

It's been difficult.

I remember Elena used to say the same.

It was impossible to breathe in here.

I didn't understand then that it was part of her process.

She never bothered to tell me.

I realized she was hiding something from me.

She hid her life.

I'm so sorry.

You found the papers?

Do you have something you want to tell me, Darío?

About what?

About you.

About your life.

Your relationship with Julieta.

- About my daughter. - Íñigo, calm down.

- Anything I don't know about. - Calm down. Hang on.

You know everything you need to know.

Shall we go?

[tense music playing]

[distant siren blaring]

NO TRESPASSING

[Eugenia] According to her friends' statements,

our victim was acting strange that night.

She seemed far away,

distant, even at her own bachelorette.

[cheering]

What do we know?

She drank way too much alcohol,

which, no doubt, mixed with the medication she was taking.

Furthermore, Julieta Lazcano

- only left right after receiving a text. - [phone chimes]

What I'm saying is that Julieta left the party with her phone,

which, of course, begs the question,

"Where is it?"

We searched the entire hotel, but it didn't turn up any place.

And, if it isn't there,

somebody must've taken her cell before the investigation.

So maybe the murderer did.

It's a possibility.

We're going to need a warrant to get her cell log and call history.

[phone ringing]

PHONE CALLS

[Julieta] Alma, it's me, Julieta Lazcano. I have to see you.

Where are you exactly?

- I'm on the 11th floor, on the terrace. - Okay.

[Alma] I'll see you.

[disconnect tone plays]

[tense music playing]

I still don't understand why the rooftop from which she fell

didn't have security cameras.

Uh, there was a camera up there, but it wasn't working.

Or it was turned off.

[distant siren blaring]

Let's talk about Mr. Guerra.

Now Darío,

he told us that he was going to meet his father-in-law in the hotel bar

around 10:30.

[tense music playing]

But instead, he went back up to his room and fell asleep until woken up.

- [man 2] Mr. Guerra. - Yeah?

[man 2] We need you to come down. It's an emergency.

I need you

to carefully check

everything that happened on the 10th floor that night starting at 10:00 p.m.

Any security footage of the 10th floor, or were they turned off too?

No, we got all of those except for one.

Let's speed it up, then. Get going.

Now, last night our Darío Guerra went to a motel, Las Delicias.

And I don't think his reasons were romantic.

I needed to see you. We have to get out of this place.

Darío must've had another reason to see that woman.

Maybe an accomplice?

- Run these license plates, okay? - Yes, ma'am.

[tense music playing]

[distant siren blaring]

[tense music continues]

Good afternoon.

- Mm-hmm? - Detective Montaño, is she in?

Detective Montaño.

Leonardo Solares. You may not remember me.

Of course.

- You're the judge. - The ex-judge.

And now I spend my days as a teacher.

- [Eugenia] Esteban's your brother. - He is, that's right.

I understand that the two of you studied together at the police academy.

- That's correct. - [Leonardo] May I speak plainly?

I suppose you can, Leonardo.

See, I have important information regarding the tragic Lazcano case.

May we speak privately?

Please, sir.

- Thanks. - Detective.

We just received the lab results, and there's a match.

Give me one second. Let's go.

Are you sure it's a match?

[door opens]

- [door closes] - Zoe, you're back early.

Listen, I've just come from forensics.

[Zoe sighs]

Darío was identified as

the suspected killer of Julieta Lazcano.

[Zoe sighs] Um…

They found his DNA on one of her fingernails.

[Zoe exhales]

Um, you want more coffee?

- Darío, talk to me. Is that blood? - Damn it.

I don't know. Look, I don't know. It's just a scratch, Alma.

No! No, no, no, no, no!

I swear I didn't touch her. I didn't. I didn't touch her. I don't know.

[Alma] So then, what?

- [Zoe] So, Mom? - Oh my God.

Mom, Dad's really worried about this.

I think maybe you should call him, calm him down.

And you know what?

I'm really worried too. About you, Mom.

Okay?

- Tell me the truth, would you? - [door opens]

- Have you and Darío… - [door closes]

Mom, have you two been meeting up or anything?

Mom?

Goddammit, Alma!

No way this is…

- This can't be happening. - [door closes]

[distant siren blaring]

Darío.

My daughter loved you.

I loved her.

I'm gonna miss her so much.

[Íñigo] I can't accept it.

[breathes deeply] I can't accept that Julieta…

I can't believe it either. I…

[sighs] I don't understand.

You can't imagine, can you…

[exhales] …your daughter lying there.

I know.

Your precious girl--

Íñigo. Íñigo, I know how hard this is. Believe me, I know.

I'm right here.

Today's the day I should be walking her down the aisle right now, but…

but I can't, can I?

- I'm supposed to be giving her to you. - I know, I know.

I understand you wanna talk about it, but this isn't the moment.

- So maybe later-- - You're such a bastard.

- How can you be so calm, so cynical? - What?

- I'll kill you! Huh? - [police siren blasts]

What did you expect?

- Lying piece of shit! I'll kill you! - Stop it!

- Son of a bitch! Stop! - [Íñigo] I'll kill you!

What happened?

Did she find out? Did you tell Julieta?

You've got the wrong guy, Íñigo! Just like in the fucking video, remember?

[Íñigo] What? You bastard!

- I'm gonna fucking kill you! - [Darío] I'm right here.

I'm a lawyer! Get your people out of here!

Enough.

Darío Guerra Andrade, you're coming with me to the station.

Get off of me!

[Eugenia] Where were you at 11:00 p.m. on Thursday night?

It's all in my statement.

- Why don't you tell me again? - [scoffs]

Just tell me something.

Am I free to go? Is there evidence against me?

- You better answer my questions first. - [Darío] I told you.

My father-in-law wanted to get a drink.

I was exhausted, but I agreed to meet him. Went back up to my room and fell asleep.

[Íñigo] When was the footage taken?

[Darío] While the pandemic was in full swing in Europe.

What do you think?

That isn't you?

[scoffs] Íñigo, be serious.

I was in New York

trying to figure out which son of a bitch collected my inheritance.

But you two look so similar.

Something different in the eyes, but you…

[Alma] I'm Darío Guerra's attorney. I need to see my client. Where is he?

Sorry, but Mr. Guerra is being questioned right now.

I can't let you in.

He's being questioned without his lawyer being present?

You can speak with lead detective Montaño.

She isn't answering. Wait here, please.

Thanks.

You don't understand.

There's an impostor out there who's pretending to be me.

[Eugenia scoffs] A double, right?

Your double has your DNA too, I guess.

I don't know.

There's so many things about my family that I just don't know.

[Eugenia] And your double got injured on his arm too, right?

Ma'am, there's a lawyer here.

I told you to wait outside.

Darío wasn't on the rooftop that night.

In fact, he never even left his room. I was with him.

[suspenseful music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]
