[tires screeching]

[Fernanda] Hello, Pascal.

Hello.

Did you read it yet?

Mm-hmm.

No, no, not here, not now.

Yeah. I read it.

And with everything that Beatriz said...

It was only a couple of press outlets
that weren't even that important.

Even so, Fer.

Sometimes, information
can be like a landmine.

-Tread lightly.
-That's true.

I've got a lot of work to do.

But... That's my brother, Pascal.
You've got to leave.

-Okay.
-Hurry, hurry.

Carlos. Carlos.

Carlos, please listen to me, just wait.

What is it?

Everything that happened in the trials
is written in this report.

Somehow, it made it to the TV networks,
and the director contacted Mom.

And is this report accurate?

And does it also say that it was your idea

to try that experimental pill
for postpartum?

Probably not, right?

Fer, it's all because of you
that my son has a deformity, right?

What exactly is it that I did?

Why are you so angry with me?

It's not you.

-It's everything you represent.
-What?

My whole life,
you've had this advantage over me,

which I don't understand at all.

I've always been more capable than you.

And yet I wasn't even able to present
that pill idea on my own.

Are you kidding me?

How many times did I tell you
to pitch that idea?

-Mom never would have gone for it.
-Oh.

And it's not like you ever
helped either, Carlos.

Fer, do you actually think
this is a competition?

I'm seriously asking you this
because you're the winner here.

You're the one who gave Mom
her first grandchild, don't you get that?

But you know
what makes you and me different?

I would never harm your son or you.

Your son and Yeni are still alive.

And that's because I stopped David
from giving them to Balo

when they took them out of the hospital.

I got Nestor involved.

I begged him to rescue them,

and he picked them up
and left them in that park.

[David] We're about five minutes away.

[car horn honks]

Don't you move back there, got it?

Couldn't you see me?
I'm trying to get by.

Just relax.

If you give us what we want,
you'll be fine.

I haven't got any cash on me now.

I'm just coming from the hospital.

Check in the backseat,
my wife just had a baby.

Here, take my watch. It's a good one.

Don't be such an idiot.

Yeni isn't your wife.

Irene and David had agreed
to hand her over to Balo

because he wanted to get revenge
for his brother's murder.

-This boy is my nephew, Carlos.
-That is exactly what I was thinking.

And I never forced her.
Julia chose to take the pill on her own.

And neither of us knew
what the side effects were yet.

You still didn't tell me about it,
did you?

The same way Mom didn't
and the way your husband didn't.

Everyone's equally to blame.

I was protecting this family
by closing up ranks,

which you should also be thinking
about doing now.

Except that my family
is just Julia and Yeni.

And the twins are my kids, not yours.

Well, Mom and I are your family, too,
even if you don't like it.

Carlos, please.

-Just move.
-Just wait, please.

Despite everything that's happened,

you've still been able to forgive Julia
for what she did to Yeni.

So, please, just look at the facts.

Mom has protected them both
from everything,

except Beatriz goes to the media

and tells everyone about Yeni.

You know very well this won't come close
to sinking the pharmaceutical company,

but it'll sink you.

And it'll get even worse for you
when they open the file on David's death.

And what makes you think
that David is dead?

I know he is.

Mom stopped the investigation
from going forward

so you wouldn't be implicated.

There are witnesses who are saying
that you are the last person

to have seen him alive.

Please, Carlos.

[car engine revs]

[tires screeching]

[opening theme music playing]

[Yeni] It came out easily
after I used a solution on it.

Oh, that's great.
The stain disappeared, didn't it?

-Yeah.
-Okay, wonderful.

You know, I've always thought
that lady was a bit strange.

[Cuca] Yes.

Here, pass it to me so I can bag it.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Yeni. Hi, there.

Listen, did you go back to Puebla?

Yes, Cuca and I came back here
because we had to work,

but Sonia stayed to help Francisco
move into an office he rented.

I need to talk to you,
so I'm going to come down there.

All the way over here? Is everything okay?

As soon as I get to Puebla,
I'll call you back

so you can tell me
how to get to your place.

[Cuca] Who was it?

Beatriz.

Come on, sweetheart.

You can paint when we get back.

[Cuca] Okay. Let's see.

Take this and this.

Thanks, Cuca.

-Careful with it.
-Yeah.

And you be careful, too, honey,
listen to your mom, huh?

-[Luciano] Mm-hmm.
-Bye.

[knocking on door]

It didn't work.

I thought he'd react a lot more
when I told him about David.

You clearly don't know your brother.

What you should have done was apologize.

The news about David
was supposed to be a last resort.

Well, I did kind of apologize,

but only because I felt like it,
not because you ordered me to.

-Right.
-Mom?

If Carlos doesn't back down,
it should be you.

I'll take care of it.

[woman]
Yes, ma'am?

[Nora] Call an emergency board meeting.

I also need you to make absolutely sure
that Bustamante, Rosales,

and someone from legal are here.

What are you gonna do?

I'm going to inform them
of the position we're taking

regarding what Marcela sent to the media.

She has details that only someone
on the inside would know.

Pascal couldn't trace
anything back to her.

Her tactics won't work.

-We're going to get ahead of this.
-Good.

At least that way,
our version gets out before hers.

But how are you going to deny
what the documents say?

I won't deny it. I'm going to be honest.

When Yeni leaves them high and dry,
I'll make sure that I'm there

ready to explain everything
to the reporters.

Are you serious?

-I'm sure Yeni will back out.
-Well, that's the idea.

Hey, you guys go
work over there. Go on.

The idea is that Balo
would take care of her,

and that you would take care
of Beatriz and her friends.

You can't possibly be serious.

Do I look like I'm laughing?

You should be.

It's a bad idea to think
about doing anything to these women

when the place will be crawling
with journalists.

As soon as they realize that native
is going to keep hiding from them,

they won't go away.

I better talk to Nora.

The best thing would be to free Ochoa.

Roberto is making things
very inconvenient for you,

and I'm providing all these women
with his legal counsel.

I'd be digging my own grave
if I messed with Roberto.

The last thing I need right now
is another outbreak of social uprising.

[Arturo] I think
you just figured out a solution.

What?

An uprising.

Think about it, we can divert attention
away from all the issues

surrounding the city's infrastructure

and focus on an incident
against a group of innocent women.

Mom, even if you
figure things out with Yeni,

that still means you're going
to throw away everything you've done

to build up the pharmaceutical company.

You say that as though
I was the one who made the decision

to publicly acknowledge
the mistakes we made.

I'm in this position because of Marcela
and her anonymous report.

So, just give them Ochoa, Mom,
that's all it takes.

No.

Here, Mrs. Nuñez, it's ready.

Did the stain come out of the tablecloth?

Yes, I used a special solution
so it wouldn't damage the embroidery.

Am I being charged for that?

I raised the price a little bit
because it took me a while to do.

No. I'm not paying for that.

You should have asked me before.

Right. Well, that's not a problem.
You can pay at the normal rate.

Hey, Yeni, where are you going?

Oh, I left my son in the car.

In the capital, a group of women

who participated in a failed
clinical trial are protesting.

Huizar Pharmaceuticals announced
the research trials

a little over three years ago.

The group is accusing the family
of forcing an indigenous woman

to care for the alleged
son of Carlos Huizar.

The boy was afflicted
with the same condition

as the other newborns after the trial.

[Mrs. Nuñez]
Yeni?

Yeni, where are you going?

Put on your seatbelt.

You just left me here for hours.

What am I doing here?

Wouldn't you like to know?

What do you want?

I want you to distract Yeni.

Beatriz wants her to meet with the press
and tell them everything.

-Get it?
-Hmm.

No?

Hmm, need to think about it?

We don't have time for that.

Do you know what I want, asshole?

I want you out of my life.

I'm sick of you and this whole mess.

If you had decided to tell me
everything Ochoa told you

right off the bat,
this wouldn't be happening.

You always knew
they were going to contact Yeni,

and then use her to put pressure on us.

Ochoa threatened to tell them.
I was his accomplice in Irene's murder.

And then I would go down with him.

But you know what?
Better to be dead than stuck in jail.

You can still go back there

for offing your friend David
and covering it all up.

There's no way I could have killed him.

Because I was still
supposed to be in jail.

There's no blood on my hands yet.

I guess that you can't say the same thing.

I know for a fact that you killed Irene,
you asshole.

But don't worry about it.

It stays between us, huh?

[grunts]

I can also kill you and your mother

to keep you company
if you decide to say no.

[tense music playing]

[Luciano]
Mommy, are you sad?

Yes, my love.

Why?

[sniffs]

Because sometimes
people that you trust can hurt you.

[knocking on door]

-Hello.
-[Beatriz] Good afternoon.

Come in, please.

-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

Thank you.

Come here, sweetie.

Let's go put the clothes
in the washing machine

while your mom talks.

Come on.

Hi.

[dramatic music playing]

Nobody else was ever supposed to know
that part of my story.

I've been hiding to keep safe.

The only person
who has the right to reveal

that part of my story is Luciano.

He's the one who's been
affected the most by all this.

But you didn't even consider for a minute
what this might do to him.

[tense music playing]

And now, you have no idea
how much I regret having trusted you.

I realized that I was starving
for some kind of friendship.

-But it was a mistake.
-No. No. No. No, Yeni--

I hardly know anyone who understands me.

And that's why I decided
to trust you, Beatriz.

That's why I talked about you, Yeni.

Yeni, I wanted to come here
to beg you to help me.

But the truth is, now I don't want you to.

I'm totally conflicted.

I don't know if I even have the right
to tell you how I'm feeling.

Please forgive me.

I went completely nuts.

I got a call from the jail,

and I could hear Andres
screaming for help.

They were torturing him.

They were strongarming me,

trying to force me to give up
and listen to Nora.

Yeni, no one understands you
more than I do.

We've gone through similar things.

We've both had a baby
who was born deformed

because of the Huizars.

But you've been blessed
with being able to watch him grow up,

to be able to see how well
the treatments are working for him.

Just like Lourdes and Alicia.

I'll never get to see my son again.

But I can see my son's face
reflected in your son's.

Can you understand why I need Andres
with me now more than ever?

He's the only person keeping me here.

Yeni...

put yourself in my shoes.

You felt all of the same things
about your father.

You did everything you could
for his freedom.

You became a surrogate.

You sacrificed your dreams,

and you bore a child
for two complete strangers.

Please forgive me.

Yes, I know I betrayed you
and that I threatened them.

But I can fix all of that, I swear.

I'll be able to change their minds
if you help me.

I just need Andres with me, please, Yeni.

Help me put pressure on Nora, please.

Please help me get him released.

I need to get him as far away
from here as I can.

You know, I have this fantasy.

I pretend that we're living together out
in the countryside, totally alone...

without fear.

Yeni, I know that you feel
exactly the same way about your boy.

Please help us.

[tense music playing]

Mm-hmm.

[tense music playing]

Thanks for agreeing to meet me
in the garage.

I really didn't want the journalists
to be able to see us.

Of course.

Well, if anyone did, they would know

that you are the native woman
that Beatriz mentioned.

I think the word you're looking for
is indigenous, Nora.

Indigenous woman
is what you meant to say.

But I'm not here
to correct your lack of culture.

I came to negotiate terms for Ochoa.

Then you're talking to the wrong person,

because that's not up to me.

And before you talk to the press,

make sure you think about the odds,

because no one is going to believe...

someone like you.

Then why did you even bother
coming down here

if you didn't think there was a point?

Look, if you're as shrewd as you think,

then you will negotiate with me.

I have the upper hand in this situation.

Negotiating with me
is really the only option for you.

[dramatic music playing]

Wait.

[Carlos] Julia?

I'm here.

[Carlos] Where's Tessa?

-She's being fed.
-Ha.

I tried calling.

Yeah. Well, I--

I've been getting tons of calls all day.

I guess it's just because
of what's happening on the news.

I mean, my phone
just hasn't stopped ringing,

so I needed to turn it off.

What's gonna happen?

Hmm.

I don't know.

I spoke with the lawyer,
and he knows everything

about what's going on with Yeni.

And now he also knows about David.

Would you believe
Fer accused me of being suspicious?

-What?
-Yeah.

What's happening?

You think Yeni will accuse us?

I hope not.

And Nora?

I spoke to her
and told her not to rely on us,

that we were gonna do things our own way.

But how did she react when you told her
she couldn't see Tessa?

How do you think?

She said a lot of things.

She said
that she would never accept our son.

But I don't really care about that.

I told her I would never give up on him.

And I told her that we weren't gonna stop

putting pressure on her
until Ochoa was out of jail.

I couldn't believe she said those things,

those terrible things about our son,

as if he wasn't even a person.

It was just awful.

-She was trying to--
-Carlos, listen to me.

I think we've got to try to talk to her.

We've got to try to get Yeni
before she can talk to the journalists.

Julia, I just don't think
she's gonna be very receptive

after everything we've put her through.

And now because of Ochoa
and Beatriz, even less.

Well then, we'll just do
whatever she wants us to do.

It doesn't matter.
But you and I can't go to jail.

-That won't happen.
-What about the kids?

Julia, listen, that won't happen.
I guarantee it.

We're gonna fix the mistakes we made,

but we're not gonna go to jail.

Wait.

-Hello?
-Carlos.

Yeni?

Right now?

No, no, no. Of course.

Yeah, that's fine.

We're on our way.

Okay.

Uh, yeah, you don't have to worry.

-Come on. I'll go with you.
-Uh, no.

She wants me to go alone.

No. No. I need to talk to her.

I need to, mother to mother, talk to her.

Julia, she asked me to go alone, you know,

and I honestly think it's the best idea.

Think about it. She thinks you set her up.

If you're there, she might not trust us.

Let me go. I'll see what she wants,
and I'll call you immediately.

Hmm?

Hey.

I'm doing what's best for our children.

I swear.

I'll call you.

[dramatic music playing]

Oh. Hello. [chuckles]

-How are you?
-I'm very well. And you?

-I'm all right.
-Come in.

I managed to convince Yeni
to come back with me from Puebla.

-Hi.
-Hello.

So Yeni's going to talk to Nora.

And if she's not able to convince
Nora to help us,

Yeni has agreed
to assist at the press conference.

Well, I hope everything goes
the way you want it to,

because contrary to Beatriz,
when you got your father out of jail,

at least you did it
without hurting anyone.

I can't believe you're going to help her.

Well, I'm helping her,
but I'm also doing it for my son.

Wherever we go,
people look at us strangely,

me for being Indigenous
and him for being White.

We've both gone through too much.

We shouldn't still be
considered some kind of

circus act.

Sure, but you're still going
to expose them all

if Nora goes back on her word
and refuses to free Ochoa.

Well, this time I think she's going
to have to accept defeat.

We don't want her to disappear.

So then Yeni refuses to hand
the child over to Carlos, and...

Not exactly. And we certainly
won't mention it to the reporters.

There must be a way for us
to find out if--

Look, I told you, I don't know anything
more about Yeni's personal life.

Okay. But that's not what I was gonna ask.

What I was actually gonna say
is that we have to be sure

that Nora is gonna authorize
your husband's release.

Well, they have to make a public petition
before they review and rest his case.

And then that way,
they can figure out who murdered Irene.

I'm pretty sure
that's the reason behind the interview

that Pascal said
Nora was going to give on TV.

Basically, it's looking like the pressure
we put on her to admit the mistakes

she made worked.

But I'm still not sure we can trust Nora.

[Briseno] Nora, you can't just
order me around, much less publicly.

Personally, I'm all for freeing Ochoa.

I've never ordered you around in private,
and much less publicly.

And you're right, as the person in charge,

you've got to announce it.

But in order to distract
from the fact that you released Ochoa,

I'd like the focus
to be on Irene's murder.

And I want you to consider the idea
that they killed Irene

simply because she's a woman.

What the hell?

[Nora] Femicide, Briseno. Look it up.

I'm going to have Arturo call you
to explain.

You know, this crime isn't really covered
by the legislation yet,

which is why I gave you a proposal.

Well, that's all right.

I think it's about time this was given
more serious consideration as a problem.

In fact, it's the perfect time
to propose a new legislative bill.

Sure, if I worked in Congress.

Finally, we're speaking the same language.

I think it's time for you
to expand your horizons.

Think about how much power
you'd have on the outside,

much more than if you stayed inside.

Figure it out with Briseno.

Tell him the announcement of
Ochoa's release doesn't change anything.

Thank you.

[door closes]

[suspense music playing]

You know what? I think
I'll stick around here just in case.

Are you listening?

Yeah. Yeah, I heard you,
but you don't need to, Sonia.

You can just wait for me in the car.

Listen...

I know that kind of love can weaken you.

And now I understand you
more than ever because of Francisco.

Every time he asks me
for something, I can't say no.

And he's still not even asking me
the things I want him to ask me.

Well, maybe romantic love can weaken you,

but now I know that a mother's love
is much, much stronger, Sonia.

I'll be fine.

There he is.

Good luck.

Hi.

Where's my son?

I thought you were bringing him.

No, I didn't call to talk about him.

Don't do this to me.

I--you know that I've been looking for him

since the last time we talked.

You told me how you'd been thrown out,

and I haven't stopped
looking for him ever since then.

Listen, I know so many things
I didn't know before.

Yes, but you still only know a little
bit of the story, Carlos.

But now I'm going to give you
the side you don't know,

the side of the surrogate mother.

You manipulated me over and over
so that eventually

I wasn't even able to feel the sadness

and the suffering
from being separate from my father.

I became so disconnected from myself
that I could hardly feel anything

that was happening inside of me,

because I was terrified that if I did,
I might hurt the baby.

And then I stupidly thought

that I'd finally be able to see
my father again

that I would be getting my life back,

except I wasn't.

Instead I woke up alone
in a park with a tiny baby.

That wasn't part of the deal.

And you know what?
I haven't even been able to start

processing every single thing
that I've been through.

And why is that?

Because then I had to start running
for my life.

And the only thing--

the only thing that gives me
a minuscule bit,

just a tiny bit of the connection
I'm missing is my Luciano.

Luciano?

Is that what you named my son?

I really like that name.

Listen, Yeni,
I totally understand what you're saying.

And the only thing I can do is apologize.

I had no clue about the extent
of the damage we did to you.

-No.
-I swear.

The damage
you're still doing to me, Carlos.

I spoke to your mother.
In exchange for me now going to the press

about everything your whole family
has done,

she has agreed to release Ochoa

and to stop persecuting us,
me and Beatriz, and my son.

She told you that?

Yeni...

are you comfortable with that
or was my mother forcing you?

No, Carlos.

No.

For the very first time, I got to decide.

What about my son?

Did you agree on something?
How does she feel about him?

No, we didn't discuss him.

Luciano's my son.

And I'm not interested in any
kind of agreement with you or your mother.

He's grown up around people
who've made him feel loved and accepted.

And even though he doesn't remember,
he'll always have the imprint

of his real biological family's rejection.

I'm not putting him through that
ever again.

No, listen, I'm sorry.

Forgive me, Yeni, but I have never,
ever rejected my son.

I love him, and without even knowing him.

Listen, the only thing you can do
right now

is to make sure
your mother keeps her word.

That's why you wanted to talk?

I mean, I'm here.

I want to talk about my son.
Maybe we could also talk about us.

No, there isn't an us anymore, Carlos.

But we have a son,

and I know
that I've made so many mistakes,

but I'm still his father, Yeni.

I have the right to meet him.

Listen, think about what I'm asking, okay?

I have to go meet with Beatriz now.

You better hope
your mother's going to keep her word

'cause otherwise,
I'll tell them the truth.

[phone line beeping]

Yeni, what happened?
Are you finished?

[Yeni] Yeah, I'm all done,
but I ended up getting a taxi.

Well, we've been waiting here
to bring you back with us.

[Yeni] No, no, I'd rather
do this alone. Please, Sonia.

-No, Yeni--
-[Yeni] You and Francisco, hurry up

and finish everything,
and then I'll go back to Puebla with you.

[cell phone beeps]

Yeni went off alone.

Come on, let's go.

What happened?

I just finished talking to Yeni.

She left, but I have to talk to my mother
about something else.

Can I call you later on to explain?

Why? What did she say?

A bunch of stuff that I don't understand,
but you can at least relax.

She's not gonna go to the press.

And were you able to meet our son?

Is he all right?

[Carlos] No, I didn't get to see him.
She didn't bring him.

And I wasn't really
able to tell her about Tessa.

We'll probably have to wait for Ochoa
to be released for all that.

Yeah, but your mother
is never going to accept that.

Well, apparently,
Yeni and Mom spoke,

which is why I have to go
and confirm a few more things,

but later on I'll tell you about it.

Bye.

Mom, have you read the whole document?

I've gone through the whole thing.

Well, here are some cue cards
with relevant information

just in case you need some support.

Did you arrange
to have the interview here?

Yes, of course. They're setting up
the camera and the lights.

They wondered
if you wanted your makeup done.

Mother, I just need to ask you
this one more time.

Are you sure this is the right choice?

Please, Fer.

Now is not the time
to start getting cold feet.

Ma, Yeni told me you two talked.

Are you really gonna do what you said?

Yes, but it isn't for her,
and I'm not doing it to save you or Julia.

I told you once already,
and maybe you forgot about it,

but I didn't,
that I don't want Tessa to grow up

and become ostracized
for the way she was conceived.

And I originally thought that I
could close this chapter differently,

but I guess not.

You didn't leave me
much of a choice in the matter.

-Do you understand?
-Sorry, ma'am.

I've just been informed that everything
is ready for the meeting.

Let's go.

Please, please, it's a little bit further.

Thanks. How much do I owe you?

[taxi driver] That's a hundred,
uh, pesos, Miss.

Thanks. Have a good day.

[indistinct chatter]

[Yeni] Hello.

I'm here for the meeting.
