A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

We had nothing to do with this.

Because, as you know,

we don't like war. Don't forget it.

Besides,
all of our business is family business.

WELCOME TO CALI

From the start,
my brother and I gave it our all.

And when we least expected it,
the company grew.

Because the business is headed
from heaven's branch

to the end of the world.

I assume that's why
we're respected everywhere.

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION BASED
ON THE CHARACTERS OF THE BOOK

EL CARTEL DE LOS SAPOS.
THE FACTS APPEARING HEREIN

ARE A PRODUCT OF THE AUTHORS'
IMAGINATIONS.

SOME SITUATIONS, BASED ON REAL FACTS,

HAVE BEEN MODIFIED AND ENHANCED
FOR AN AUDIOVISUAL FORMAT.

-What's up?
-What's up?

How did it go? What did they say?

That they want to increase
the children's pension fees.

Oh, really? You went all the way there
just for that? Silly people.

I know, the last straw, right?

I think I'll need
to take him out of there.

Don't you think
you're exaggerating a little?

Luckily, God gives Leonardo the means

to pay the young boy's pension.

But what bothers me is that...

the school has now become a business
for the headmistress.

She's taking advantage of this, come on.

In that case, you'd have to think
about what's best for the boy, right?

Well, that's what I'm saying.

Fabian has been bored for ages,

and I think that's what prevents him
from improving.

Listen, I have to go out.

I won't be long. If you need anything,
let Ruben know.

Sure.

Nora, are you okay?

Well, I just find it incredible
how someone you once loved

can turn into a ghost
that won't let you live in peace.

-Would you prefer that I go with you?
-No. Don't worry.

Let me go with you.

Look, if that ghost appears,
we'll both chase it away.

Well, sweetie.

What can I say? If after all this time

you continue thinking that
it's the right path, then follow it!

I won't judge you anymore.

But you have to think about Wilmer.

Everything that happened
between you and Emanuel

has nothing to do with that poor boy.

He deserves to have a family,
and that's why we're here.

Ms. Marlén...

I know that you're a good woman.

If I could, I would tell you
so many things.

Spit it out, sweetie. Tell me.

Let's see, how can I explain?

Look, the truth is,
it's not up to me to open your eyes.

I only hope that,

when you come to realize
what the truth is, it won't be too late.

What truth?

Mom?

Do you know where Wilmer is?

Wilmer?

Where did that boy go?

Wasn't he supposedly in good hands?

He is, it's just that
it's cool for kids to go out

-and play in the street.
-Of course!

-Do you remember?
-Ms. Marlén!

Your grandson was in an accident.

-You see?
-There, there.

After training,
all soccer players have to eat,

to recover their energy, Federico.

Mom, I'm no soccer player.

What happened?

Well, I had a terrible time.

They dribbled past me, I was nutmegged,
I didn't even make one pass.

I didn't even make one goal.

-I looked like a cone on the field.
-Oh dear, you're exaggerating.

It's only your first day of training,
Federico. You'll have thousands more.

Well, I don't know because
Emanuel said there are 20 boys

waiting to take my place.

I don't know if this one will be my last.

Let's see, tell me one thing, Federico.

Are you sure this is what you want to do?

Look, it's hard.

Yes, Mom. This is the only thing I want.

Okay, then that's settled.

You're not going to give up
on your first bad day.

Or did you think that our first times
were easy and went well for us?

Federico, if you're sure
that's what you want to do,

you have to persevere.

And I mean persevere in capital letters.

That was the only way the Pan American,

after so many years of not winning,
became well-known.

And you will have bad days, honey.

But you'll come out of that
determined and with faith.

No matter what and who you're against.

Because God is with you.

And I am also here,
for whatever you might need, Federico.

-Are we clear?
-We're clear.

Besides, you know what?

Not everyone can score goals
for the Pan American.

I've got to give it my all.

-That's the spirit, my boy.
-Yes, Mom.

There's no fracture.
It's only a dislocation.

And when will he be okay, doctor?

Roughly, in one month,

if he is sensible and does
the exercises I taught him,

and does physiotherapy.
I'm going to process the discharge,

if you'll excuse me.

Thank you very much.

Dad, forgive me.

We only went out for a stroll.

It's alright, son.

What matters is that you're okay, alright?

But you have to be careful, right?

Oh...

And those trainers? I hadn't seen them
before. They're awesome!

Who gave them to you?

Well, Fabián bought them for me
with his money.

Oh, with his money? Wow.

Look, Wilmer.

That's why I didn't want you to come.

This city only brings about problems.

When we can,
we'll go straight back to the U.S.

No, Mom, please, no.
I want to stay here, let me.

But honey, you are too young
to know what suits you best

and what doesn't.

It's just that my dad is here,
and I also want to spend time with him.

I know.

I know.

Look, I want to apologize
for distancing you from your family

and lying to you.

But I promise you, Wilmer,
that I only did that to protect you.

I know, Mom.

You've got to know them now.
You've been here for a while.

If you want, I can bring you here
on the holidays, we can come back.

But Wilmer, I'll tell you one thing.
You can't stay here.

No, Mom, I'm not going back
to that country. Please.

Let's see, can you explain
what the hell that boy is doing?

What does he want?
Does he want to fight me?

Because I'm telling you,
it'll end badly for him.

I'm not going to let him
continue doing whatever he wants.

Okay, but wait a second.
Come on... calm down a bit.

I'm not going to calm down, Mom.
He's crossed all the lines.

Stealing from his own father?

-Only a thug does that.
-No, come on, don't call him that.

Well, then tell me,
is there another name for that?

Mom, he's lost all my trust,
all of our trust.

Can you imagine
if something worse happened to Wilmer?

He couldn't just leave his cousin alone,
no.

He had to corrupt, damage
and get him in trouble.

Not only him, but all of us too.

It was an accident. He didn't want
anything bad to happen to him.

And the bribery, along with the money
he stole from me, also an accident?

He's always being scolded for bad grades,
are you really going to blame him?

And couldn't he just have studied
and got good grades?

I can't believe you're still
defending him, Fabiola, please.

How many more things has he done
that I haven't realized?

I'm going to find a military
boarding school for that boy.

Don't argue with me, Mom.

This is undebatable.

That's for being a softy, Fabiola.

Look, we're doing just fine in the U.S.

Besides, you have to go back to school,
you have to see your friends.

There isn't even
a baseball team here.

Don't worry about school,
you'll get into the best one here, okay?

And if there aren't any baseball teams,
well, then we'll create one.

You can also try soccer,

which is the king of sports.
You have a place in the Pan-American.

The best team in Colombia.

Mom, I promise that I'll behave.

Yes, look, Dayana.

Don't you worry, because
he won't be lacking anything here.

You can leave with peace of mind.

Besides, when he wants to see you,
I'll send him over. I promise you.

Yes, besides, I want to finish
getting to know Cali.

I want to learn how to dance salsa.

-I want to...
-Alright.

Fine. If you want to be here,

then that's fine.

Yes.

But if you stay here...

I'm staying with you.

-Thank you for your company.
-Nora.

I want you to count on me
not only for finances and numbers,

but also for whatever else
you might need, okay?

Thank you.

I'll have a double whiskey, please.

Did your first day go so badly?

At least tell me
they gave you a motorcycle.

They don't even say thank you, Deisy.

With that, you have the full picture.

Although that's not the worst.

Because I actually enjoy
driving around Cali.

Why the long face, then?

Nora?

Did you really think that girl was going
to spend her whole life waiting for you,

with open arms, just like that,
forever and ever?

Look.

All the nights that I was imprisoned,

I would repeat to myself

that I couldn't let the others
belittle me.

And that...

all the years that I was put behind bars

were going to end up being worth it,

and now I find the only thing I am
to her is a bad memory.

That's not to say that I was expecting her
to welcome me with open arms,

or throw me a party, right?

But I wasn't expecting her to look at me

the way she looks at me now, you know?

Returning to Cali was like
rubbing salt in the wound for many,

intensifying the pain,

and realizing that the city
where they had lived for so long

had turned into an aloof place,
somber and almost unrecognizable.

But it was all a matter
of patience and wisdom,

because when pain and anger come together,

they can end up being as strong
as the power of the Villegases.

THE COFFEE LOVER

The boat
in which we'll send the merchandise

is going to stop in three
strategic points of Central America.

Is the idea that they'll pick up
the other newspapers in the other harbors?

Exactly, in case a shipment falls,

-then we'll know where it came from.
-Perfect.

We'll continue sending
the dividends as always.

Investing the assets
in the business, you hear?

As Leonardo said, we've got to continue
confusing and deceiving the enemy.

Let's continue with this strategy,
because we're doing well so far,

never look back.

Technically, the first one
to commit a crime was you.

You lied when registering
as a single mother to your son,

and you took the child out of the country
without the father's consent.

Emanuel could easily prove that he was
about to decide on the child's behalf,

and that you removed him from his life
in an arbitrary way.

But he did the same thing, or worse.

He secretly removed my son
from the U.S. on a plane.

And without my consent.

That wouldn't excuse you from your errors.

Dayana, if the authorities
were to find you both guilty,

they could even remove custody
of your son.

Emanuel is a criminal and you know it.

Up until now, the Villegases men
have had flawless résumés.

They don't have criminal records

and we haven't been able to prove
that their fortune

is based on illegal deals.

Look, if you were to tell your son
everything now,

without access to conclusive evidence,

the kid would end up in the middle
of a battle in which the Villegases

would hold all the cards.

I find it absurd that after so long,

after all that my dad suffered,
after all you suffered,

those men are still free,
doing whatever they want,

and we can't do anything about it.

If there's someone set on making sure
those guys fall, it's me.

I have worked very hard
to get to where I am now,

with only one objective.
To uphold justice.

-But we have to be patient.
-Patient?

I should be patient?
While they take my son away from me?

Staying in Colombia is a good decision.

We must siege as many fronts as possible.

We mustn't take our eyes
off even one of their movements.

Dayana, I understand you.

It's not easy.

But I assure you that, in these
sorts of cases, anxiety and urgency

are not the solution.

May I help you?

Ms. Marlén.

My God.

Alonso?

Oh, come here!

Please, come in. I can't believe it.
It's been so long.

Um...

I'm happy to see you.

And I understand
if you can't say the same.

What do you mean, dear?
I'm also very happy to see you.

You're also very handsome.
Tell me, what's up?

Were the days locked up in prison
beneficial to you?

Being locked up doesn't help anyone,
Ms. Marlén.

But I know what your question is.

I know you worry about everyone,
and yes, I am a new person,

willing to make up for lost time
and to not make the same mistakes.

I don't know if Leonardo has told you
that now I'm his assistant.

No, I had no idea.

-Yes.
-Oh, it's great he gave you a job.

Come in.

-Have some juice. Come on.
-No, Ms. Marlen, I'm here for Fabián.

I don't know if he might be ready now.

-Fabián?
-Hey, man.

Wait for me in the car outside,
we're leaving soon.

Yes, sir.

Why so unpleasant?

Fabián!

NEW YORK

It's good news when they start fighting
amongst themselves. Do we know more?

It seems that they were fighting
over control of the territory.

-Any arrests?
-None, sir.

All we found were the two youngsters dead.

Anything new?

The two bodies are in Forensic Medicine.

We've searched the whole place,
and apart from this, there's nothing else.

A newspaper without many details, officer.

Take it to my office.

Rosario?

-If you're here to see Emanuel...
-No, no, no.

I came here to speak with you.

I can imagine that
you've heard horrible things about me.

Look, Dayana,
I don't know how this is going to sound,

but what happened between
you and Emanuel is behind me now.

And to be honest, it doesn't concern me.

I know that it doesn't concern you.

But think about it.

Look, they warned me a lot,
and I didn't want to listen.

Look, I really appreciate
your good intentions, honestly.

But I have life experience

and I know perfectly well
what I'm doing.

That's exactly the problem,

to think that we know what we're doing,

but the scope of the Villegases
is impossible to measure.

I want to thank you
for having welcomed my son warmly,

honestly.

But I am going to tell you something.

When you are on the same side
as one of the Villegases,

the only thing you receive in life
is pain and disappointment.

I know why I'm telling you this.

What really confuses me,

is that Leonardo hasn't even
thought about understanding him.

I mean, nothing moves him.
It's like he's made of stone.

Wait. Wait.

Wait. I'm going to tell you something.

One thing is the love
that you feel for your children

and the other is sometimes
having to be tough on your children.

And that doesn't mean you are
made out of stone.

But, when has he tried
sitting down and talking with his son?

To try and understand him, to listen,
in order to know why he's doing

all the things he does? Never.

Do you know why, Fabiola?

Because when someone crosses the line,
as Fabián did,

no conversation can solve that.

It's like you've forgotten who Fabián is,

like you don't know him, he's just like
his father, he's just like Leonardo.

And me, who knows them both well,
can tell you that from now on

it's going to turn into a war
between those two.

And we'll be the victims. All of us.

Did you have the soup or what?

Because if you haven't, you'll go
straight back home from this bench.

Look, I don't know, I'm not giving up
okay?

Look, I wake up tired,
I don't have energy in the mornings.

It's just that I play well,
I usually play well.

Calm down, everything has a solution.

Look.

What do you mean? What's that?

My very own water of triumph.

You have a sip of this,
and you go out onto the field

and dribble past whoever crosses you.

-Man!
-Drink it.

Or do you want them to leave
you sitting here on the bench?

I have the munchies, honey.
Is there anything I can eat now?

Why the long face?

Emanuel, I want you to tell me
why Dayana is so hurt by you.

What was the horrible thing, according to
her, that you and your brother did to her?

What do you mean? Did she look for you?
Did she tell you something?

Look, answer the question, okay?

Honey, when Dayana left me
and kidnapped my son,

you were practically there, no?

You saw everything I went through.

All the suffering.

And if it weren't for you
coming into my life like an angel,

I don't know what would have
happened to me.

Look, all she wants is to stir up the past

that I left behind with your help
the day I went to your house.

So let me know if you're going
to take her side.

Because I'm not going to.

It's not worth it.

The only thing worth telling from my story

is what I've always told you.

That Dayana and I were
mistakes in each other's lives

and that the only good thing
that came out of it was Wilmer.

And now that life has returned him to me,

what's most important
is to look after him.

We're ready for the next delivery.
If the last one was a success,

we're going to smash it with this one.
There are 500 copies.

That's a lot of money.

And nobody is going to imagine
that what they're loaded up with

is pure white.

That's enough for the gringos
to at least kick up a fuss.

And to eat up all the dessert
at the same time.

This is all we found.
A Colombian newspaper.

NEW YORK

So why would it be inside
a dealers' room in the Bronx?

That is precisely what
we have to investigate.

Whether this is a separate issue,

or whether we're facing a bigger issue.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT

Did you send for me, General?

Come in.

-If I may.
-I need you to arrange

a trip to El Quindío. I want you
at the headquarters of this paper.

I want you to speak to
the editors and the owners.

Find out where the distribution points
that they manage are.

And also ask whether they have
clients from abroad.

If they do, who are they?

Oh, and most importantly...

I need you to get me
a full copy from this date.

Gonzalo. I trust you.

Depending on the information you are
given, we'll know how to move forward.

Are we clear?

You can count on me, General.

-If you'll excuse me.
-Go on.

Sorry, Emanuel, but the players are going
a bit too fast after drinking this.

Okay, and what's the problem?
That's the idea, isn't it?

That they give it their all on the field.

Yes, yes. I get you.

But I don't know if they'll keep up
that pace.

Look, don't worry about that.

Just keep training them as you are,

because it's looking incredible!
Congrats, the team is more connected.

I have to go because I have a meeting,
but good going.

That's right.

CLUB BRISAS

And what are you? Single, married?

No, look, I live alone and my son
lives with my mom in Candelaria.

Women who work hard
in order to carry their kids forward.

That's true.

I need you to be patient
and to sharpen your gaze.

-Of course, so that we don't get robbed.
-No, I'll take care of that.

So that you learn how to perfectly
distinguish who is who.

-What do you mean?
-Look, two types of clients come here.

The ones who sit and drink
like there's no tomorrow,

they never stop drinking.

You serve those ones
an increasingly stronger drink,

you chat with them a little,
but you have to save your energy

for the clients who are actually
important, the badass ones.

The badass ones?

Yes, the badass ones,
the ones who exercise authority.

You can't neglect those ones
for even a second.

Okay, and how do I tell them apart?

You can tell.

You can see their boldness as soon
as they set foot through the door.

Oh, they're the type that don't need
to even say one word

in order for you to tell
that they're loaded with money.

What I need is for Patrick and his people

to get their act together
with the distributors.

That bloody fight with the Líbanos
screwed us over.

The thing is a bit heated
according to what Patrick told me.

Yes, but I think that it's important
that no evidence was left behind

that might put us in jeopardy along
with the ones that fired at each other.

In that sense,
there doesn't seem to be an issue.

But you know that
he killed any trust we had.

Then let's double up on security.
It's not a problem.

We also have to be wary of the dealers.

They shouldn't have any information
in case they're arrested.

Patrick is dealing with that. Anyway,
I'll talk to him so we won't get caught.

What has me worried is why
Dayana decided to stay in Cali.

Well then, calm down
and have some chocolate, man,

because I have her under control, okay?

I'm sorry, Emanuel,
but under control is not enough to...

Okay. Let's not lose our cool.
I have already solved that.

Tell my assistant to come in.

Can you believe, gentlemen, that Alonso
decided to come back home like a good son?

-Are you for real?
-Well, I'll drink to that.

I'm happy to see you around here again
after so long.

Thank you, Ignacio.

Did you hear? I thought you wouldn't
come back to these ends.

It's just that Cali has this kind of charm

that doesn't allow anyone
to leave for good.

Right? Ask your ex-wife.

Yeah, right.

But the Cali Alonso has returned to

is not the same city as before.

And we're also not
the same people as before.

The gentlemen now have meetings
behind closed doors, they drink whiskey,

and they discuss very important topics.

Alonso, cheers to you, and do me a favor,
can you turn on the ceiling fan?

We sent for you because
we have a very important task for you.

I'll do what you ask.

Okay, we'll see if you're still good

at keeping an eye
on someone.

I'm coming.

I'm coming!

Honey!

Look how handsome you are!

Nora, he's gotten so... so big.

I've got your son here
because it's his first day of school

and he wanted to come by to say hello.

That's lovely.

But I don't know if
we've come at a good time.

Yes.

-Yes, of course you have.
-Mom, are you ill?

Yes. I'm getting used to Cali again.

Well, it's difficult. Um...

Why don't you wait for me?

I'll change clothes in two seconds
and take you to school, okay?

-Do you think that's a good idea?
-Yeah, that's fine.

-Yes?
-Yes.

So I'll leave you with your mom then,
I hope you have a good day.

Okay, see you soon, Nora.

Your grandad and I used to live here.
Come up and I'll show you your bedroom.

Federico,
you're making me nervous.

Since you arrived, you haven't
been still for even one second, sweetie.

Don't make things up. I'm fine.

No, you shouldn't make things up.
Can't you see the state you're in?

Don't tell me it's soccer
that has you in this state.

No, Mom. Soccer is the best thing
that has ever happened to me.

I mean, you should have seen me today.

I dodged them all, like,
"wikiti, wikiti, wikiti."

Mom, I did about three nutmegs.
Everyone was surprised, Mom.

I mean, they even
congratulated me and everything.

-Oh, really?
-Yes, I swear.

Well, congratulations, sweetie.
I'm so glad to hear it.

But what have we said? Take it easy.
Don't let the nerves get the best of you.

-That's right, one step...
-At a time. Yes.

But you know what, Mom?
It's different in this case because...

because you can't slow down.

You always have to be active
because whoever gets caught sleeping...

-Loses.
-They lose.

-I have to stay active because...
-Do you know how else you'll lose?

If you don't eat.
Come and I'll make you some food.

Oh, wait a second, Mom. I'm thirsty.

You're looking great, by the way.
Have you done something?

-My dad has lots of friends.
-That's great.

And all my cousins are different,

but Fabián, Fabián is smart, isn't he?

I can imagine.

Why the long face?

I'm glad that they are treating you well
in that house.

Okay, can I tell you
about the food at grandma's?

It's like in the movies.
There's a huge dining table,

and loads of people sit down.
They give out loads of food.

Mom, everyone is just awesome there.

But Leonardo is the best one.
Uncle Leonardo is...

Look, look.
Honey, I'm going to ask you a favor.

Try and keep your distance
from that man, okay?

Please.

Why do you say that? He's the one who
brought me over here to meet my dad.

Well, yes, but he brought you
all the way here in secret.

You did the same when you
took me out of Cali, didn't you?

Honey.

You can't let yourself
be dazzled by those things.

Understand that love can't be bought
with whatever they give you in that house.

Love sets itself apart
from all those things, okay?

No, I don't think you know what love is.

Excuse me?

If you knew what that was,
you wouldn't have left my dad alone.

And you wouldn't have lied to me
for so many years, either.

Wilmer...

Wilmer, wait.

Wilmer, come back.

Wilmer, wait.

Wilmer!

Wilmer!

I haven't seen him since.

I suppose that Alonso
is working with Leonardo.

But even that brings me peace of mind
because he's starting his life anew.

And that man is your true love?

No.

Alonso was my childhood sweetheart.

I met my true love later.

What happened to that one?

He also ended up surprising me,
and not exactly in a good way.

Why? Did he leave you for another woman?

He ended up being somebody
completely different from what I thought.

Oh, Nora, where do you meet
these guys you fall for?

I say that because,
in line with what you're saying,

none of these stories
have ended well, right?

Well, that's a good question.

I don't know whether the issue
is where I meet them, or if it's me.

-Why would it be you?
-For not realizing what awaits me.

It's so obvious, you can tell from
a mile away. I'm going to end up alone.

You know what? I think that it's often
a question of shifting your focus

and seeing what's around you.

To repeat the same mistake? No, thanks.

-No, no, no, no.
-Why not?

I believe that it's worth
making mistakes and trying

as many times as necessary for love.

The newspaper for The Coffee Lover
was established five years ago.

It only has a local presence.
It doesn't have a national presence.

Were you able to speak
with the owners and the editors?

General, the owners
don't live in Colombia.

But I spoke with the newspaper's editor.
He's based in Bogotá,

he told me that he'll meet you
as soon as he's back.

I said, "Sure, but bring
the clientele list."

Did you find what I asked for?

A complete copy
of the newspaper The Coffee Lover.

They made a mess, it was a wreck,

but I went for it and got what you wanted.

How efficient.

NEW YORK

Page B2.

"The daughter of well-known banker
Fernando Cuello, Catalina Cuello Leal,

has married young entrepreneur

Arturo Cotes Pascuale".

"Minimum increase of salary by 2%."

It doesn't say that here.

Page C2.

"The 15th birthday of
Dr. Laureano Olguin's daughter

took place at club Los Robles,

where the high society of Cali gathered."

"The birth of quadruplets has been
registered at a house in Aranjuez."

I don't understand.

Why doesn't the newspaper content
match up if they have the same date?

What is clear

is that they've made a mess of this copy.

The question is, what for?

It's possible that they may be
sending each other messages in this way.

Messages or even another type of delivery

where the newspapers are only a facade.

The shipment is ready
to be dispatched on the plane.

That's what's great about this business.

One day you travel to bring back a kid,

and the next you're delivering
what our friends, the gringos, like.

That's right, just like you said.

As soon as you say the word,
we'll send this flying off.

Don't worry, in a couple of hours
this merchandise will be in the sky.

That's how I like it.

I want to thank you for the job.
For your trust.

For allowing me to work at the pharmacy,
and near your family.

You won my respect from day one,

with that direct personality of yours.

It's just that
I can't stand two-faced people

who have hidden intentions.

That's why I asked you to hire me.

Working with Nora has been a great
learning opportunity.

She's a very committed woman.

She's the spoiled one of the house.

Because I know how much you...

how much everyone cares for her
and has her back, I...

I wanted to speak with you face to face
and tell you that...

that I'd like to get to know her better,

spend more time and go out with her.

I don't want you to feel like I'm taking
advantage of the opportunity you gave me.

And if you don't agree, I'll limit myself
to working and not crossing the line.

Come in, man, come in.

Alonso, can you believe that Fernando

is asking me for permission
to go out with Nora?

As friends, right? For now.

What do you think about that?

He's a hardworking man.

And above all, he had the balls
to come and speak with me first,

and do things the right way.

What do you say?

Shall we give him free rein?

Here you have some peanuts and oranges

to accompany this tasty firewater.

Enjoy.

That's it, girl.

You seem to be doing okay, right?

Look,
when they're about to finish their drink,

you have to top them off

so that they finish the bottle quickly,
and no more appetizers.

That should last them the whole night.

Okay, don't worry about it.

I'll make sure
they gulp down three bottles.

Okay, you see those ones?

Smile, smile.

That's it. See the one in blue?

That's one of the badass guys
I was talking about. Tend to him well.

Sweetie?

Oh, this is really odd.

Are we going to have to get your dad
to examine you?

-You're not eating anything.
-No, Mom. Stop being dramatic.

I'm not being dramatic.

Just stay still for a second!

You're not eating, you're not sleeping,
or resting, or anything, sweetie.

You have to stop with the paranoia,
because I'm okay.

And besides, I feel better than ever.

You know what? I'm going for a run.

-More?
-Yes, Mom, I feel kind of heavy.

My love, come and eat something first.

My...

I'm going to ask you a favor.

Try and keep your distance
from that man, okay?

Why do you say that? He's the one who
brought me over here to meet my dad.

Well, yes,
but he brought you here in secret.

You did the same when you took me out
of Cali, didn't you?

Understand that love can't be bought
with whatever they give you in that house.

Love sets itself apart
from all those things, okay?

I don't think you know what love is.

I haven't seen you around here before.

-Are you new?
-Yes.

That must mean
that you're a very frequent client.

And one of their oldest ones too.

What they should do is place a statue in
the middle of that dance floor that reads:

"Most honored members."

Well then, I'll have a word with Deisy

because she'll probably say
that you deserve it.

Although...

that depends on whether they hire me,
right? This is my trial period.

Well, I think that the first requirement,

which is to ensure that clients return...
you've already passed that.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Ignacio Sotomayor,
but you can call me Nacho,

the way the people I trust call me.

Okay, well then, nice to meet you.

I'm Gina Manrique,
but you can both call me Gina.

Alright, Gina, if you promise
that you'll always attend to us,

we'll come here every night.
Right, Emanuel?

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Cheers.

-Shall we go?
-Shall we go?

Let me go with you,
look, he might be there,

behind a pole, waiting for you.

Thank you, but that's not necessary.

No, what's not necessary
is for you to expose yourself.

Let me go with you,
good company is always useful.

Unless I turn out to be a burden

rather than good company.

No, look. You don't have
to deal with my problems,

let alone my apparitions at these hours.

-Besides I already told you that I...
-Yes, that you weren't born to love.

-That your destiny is to end up alone.
-Don't mock me.

No, I'm not mocking you.

Let me go with you.
If it's your family that's bothering you,

I have approval from the head
of your house to accompany you.

What about you? Are you married? Single?

Or are you just like the other men
I've seen around here,

who say they're single,
but as soon as they pay the bill,

they take out a photo of their wife,
their kids, their cat and dog?

Men are a pain.
That's why I'm not attracted to them.

-A parade of liars.
-Liars?

Liars. They're compulsive, rowdy,

a mix of things, or better yet,
they're like champús.

In a matter of seconds, they're capable
of inventing a new life story.

Yes, but that's because they're unhappy.

They want to invent freedom
that they don't have.

You know what? Let's play a game.

Let's say that today
you're able to create your own story.

What character do you want to be?

What I like is being sincere.

I have a photo of my wife
and daughter in my wallet.

And Wilmer is in my life too, my son.

And another woman too,
who decided to come back recently.

For her to come back, something must
still interest her around here, right?

No, that's all come to a dead end.

The only things that stuck around
are our son and many resentments.

Oh, things went that badly for you?

What a screw up.
