A VIX ORIGINAL SERIES

25 YEARS EARLIER

Open up or I'll drag you out, fucker!

Open the fucking door,

you're in for it, fucking kid.

Open up, little bastard!

Open the fucking door!

If you don't open up, I'm gonna drag you out!

Open the fucking door!

Open the door

or you'll regret it, little shit.

Now you're in for it, little bastard.

You'll see.

You're in big trouble.

Luciana.

Luciana?

Luciana.

React, damn it, react! Luciana!

Luciana!

Everything's gonna be fine, OK?

Jacobo, did you hear me?

Everything's gonna be fine. OK?

POLLEN

He can never find out what really happened that night.

And for that, you have to keep your promise

to stay away.

The lawyer said that everything will be very simple

when you accept your guilt at trial.

I'll make sure you never get out of jail.

We have to check word for word what the botanist said.

- My car. - Yes, sir.

OK. I'm going to do the same with everyone else's material.

I feel like we're missing something.

PABLO, SHOULD I WAIT FOR YOU FOR DINNER?

This isn't going to work.

Everything's where it should be.

You think?

Jacobo doesn't trust me anymore.

He doesn't want anything to do with me.

Or you...

You and I

are closer than ever.

And that makes us strong.

You don't know what you're talking about.

You're going to have to take my side.

When that happens,

I'll help you get Jacobo back myself.

What are you doing here?

How did you get up here?

A neighbor opened let me in.

Yesterday I called you

to let you know that I wasn't coming.

I had lots of things to do.

Yes, I was... exhausted,

and I fell asleep early.

I need to tell you something important.

There's a possibility that we have not considered.

What?

What if the killer isn't someone in the family?

Where did you get that ring?

It was my mom's.

And it may be the proof we've been looking for.

What does that have to do with Beatriz's death?

Mom had a lover.

Paco told me that he gave her this ring,

and I'm sure he could have killed her too.

No, wait, wait.

Why would this lover kill Beatriz?

No fucking clue.

But why hasn't he shown up?

Why didn't he go to the wake? Why is he hiding?

I don't know.

There are plenty of reasons.

Let's rule him out then.

Help me find out who it is.

Let me see what I find.

You know I'm not going to stand like an idiot

not doing anything.

I'm not gonna let you hang around

playing detective.

You're still a suspect.

Jacobo.

Jacobo, wait.

Fuck!

I figured you'd spent the night at my mom's sanctuary.

Forgive me.

Why?

Forgive me.

You're an asshole.

You thought no other man would ever like me.

Did you think I wouldn't be able to fuck someone besides you?

I thought I would never lose you.

And you don't know how sorry I am

to have been so wrong.

I don't believe you.

I made you believe

that you're not the most important thing in my life.

And I was wrong.

You are mine.

And although it pains me to think

that another bastard touched you...

I know that I caused it.

And I regret it.

But I can't live without you, love.

I can't.

Senator, we won't waste time

investigating whether or not you had a motive

to kill your ex-wife.

We know you did.

That and the opportunity.

After all, you never left her.

Beatriz was the mother of my children.

No matter how many differences we had,

I would never, ever hurt her.

Differences.

That's right.

The mother of your children ruined your life, Senator.

How did you recover after that?

She ruined your political future,

practically left you out on the street.

I didn't kill my wife.

Ex-wife.

But fine.

Who do you think killed her?

Because, from what we've been told,

Beatriz didn't have any enemies.

Everyone at that fucking party had a motive to kill Beatriz.

Everyone had the opportunity to do it.

She controlled our lives

and didn't care who she screwed over.

I'm not a fucking murderer.

EVIDENCE

Here you go.

Thanks.

4. OBSERVATIONS: FOR 8-YEAR-OLD CHILD,

SON OF THE VICTIM,

WAS LATER PLACED IN THE LA ESPERANZA ORPHANAGE.

I always loved this jewel.

Even more than Beatriz did, I think.

Do you know who gave it to her?

I thought she bought it herself.

No.

A gift from her lover.

Who told you that?

Paco.

I thought you knew, too.

If Paco knew that your mom had a lover,

he surely knows who it is.

He swore he didn't.

Help me.

You were her best friend.

Think about who it could have been.

Who was close to her.

Beatriz always loved strange gems,

and this one is very rare.

Do you think you can find out who they bought the jewel from?

There can't be many jewelers working this stone.

Thanks.

I want you to look spectacular tonight.

I'm going to prepare something very special.

That bitch put me on the fucking ropes.

Motive and opportunity.

Those people aren't idiots, OK?

Excuse me?

What?

Have you forgotten how many times you fantasized

about seeing Beatriz dead?

No, no. Don't even think about repeating that shit.

Besides, I could say the same about you.

Beatriz screwed your career, or did you forget?

Honey, don't be modest.

You had plenty to do with it.

What do you mean by that?

All I want is to protect you, and I expect the same of you.

I know.

And I'm with you.

Everyone at that fucking party had a motive to kill Beatriz.

And everyone} had the opportunity to do it.

What do you think?

That he's right.

I thought I was very clear with you.

What are you doing here?

Luciana Pérez.

I just need a few minutes,

I'm not here about the Zamudio case.

Garrido, could you give us a minute?

She was killed in '98.

That happened 25 years ago.

I wasn't even a prosecutor.

But you were the agent in charge.

I think you overestimate me.

My memory isn't that good anymore.

And why so much interest in the case of this Lucia?

- Luciana. - Whatever.

It was a femicide.

The family wants to reclassify the crime.

What else can be done?

The husband pleaded guilty.

End of story. Confession.

Even so,

I think we should reopen the case.

Perfect.

Do it after solving

the thousands of femicides we have pending.

Get this out of my sight.

Don't slow down my investigation.

You've screwed up too much already.

Why didn't you ever tell me that Beatriz had a lover?

What are you talking about?

Who told you that?

Is that why you slept with me?

Because it hurt you to confess everything to Jacobo?

Everyone at that fucking party had a motive to kill Beatriz.

And everyone had the opportunity to do it.

Leonor admitted that she grew the wolfsbane in the greenhouse.

But she also said that if she had wanted to kill Beatriz,

she would have done it a long time ago.

She's right.

That flower has been there for at least 20 years.

And everyone had access to the greenhouse.

That's why someone risked murdering her.

They knew everyone could be a suspect.

Paco handed over the flowers,

Leonor had the poison

and Eduardo hated her

for having screwed up his career.

Well, that guy knew everything about Beatriz.

And not just that.

They knew we'd have to cross-examine one by one.

Which makes it harder to find the culprit.

The perfect fucking crime.

Or maybe not.

We have to make that bastard believe

that we've got him by the balls.

It's benitoite,

it's a very rare stone.

In fact, my husband brings the gems form California.

He does the designs himself at the request of our clients.

So you guys made it.

I'm sure.

And do you have some kind of record with the buyer's name?

Of course.

But I can't give you that information.

Unless the buyer gives me authorization.

This ring was given to my mother, and...

Mr. Zamudio,

our customers are the most important people to us.

I would love to, but I can't.

It is likely that whoever gave it to her

also killed her.

Look,

bring me a warrant

and I'll gladly show you all the records.

OK?

Excuse me.

Thanks.

I'll send you the full address in a minute.

Thank you.

They'll be here in a couple hours.

Stay, I'll handle talking to Federico.

I can't stay.

Come on, Sandra.

You made such a fuss to be here and now you want to leave.

Trust me.

I'll be in touch later.

Where are you?

They won't give me any kind of information

until I show them a court order.

Perfect, I'll handle it from here.

What's up with you?

- I called you to help me. - Jacobo, that's enough.

Give me the ring and step aside.

If not, I'm going to have to take you to jail

for obstructing my investigation.

Do what you have to do.

Your relationship with the senator

has been going on for a long time, right?

Just over four years, to be exact.

But you've known him since you were a child.

Him and his wife.

You were friends with his daughter.

Isabella and I were classmates in high school,

I visited her occasionally.

And what was your relationship with Beatriz like back then?

Good.

Until she published my relationship with Eduardo.

Published... or found out?

She knew about my relationship with Eduardo from the beginning.

She was always well aware of his infidelities.

So Beatriz exposed you as her husband's mistress.

Killing your career as a journalist

and leaving you as the trophy girlfriend.

Beatriz never believed that I was smart enough

to maintain a career as a serious journalist.

I don't know why I have the feeling

that Eduardo thinks the same.

He's wrong.

Was that your motive, Alejandra?

Is that why you killed Beatriz Zamudio?

I didn't kill Beatriz.

Eduardo thinks you could have done it.

Why?

He didn't say that.

I have it recorded, I'll show it to you if you want.

He said she not only fucked up his life,

but also yours and the rest of the family.

That everyone had a motive.

Son of a bitch.

I'm sure he said it to save his own skin.

He's the one who wanted Beatriz dead.

Especially when he found out she made our relationship public

because he wanted to hide that he had a lover.

How did we not know about the lover before?

That has to be confirmed first.

And then find him.

And figure out if he was there at the time of the murder.

Coffee?

If the plan works,

that won't be necessary.

Accept that what Sandra says makes a lot of sense.

I warned you not to give her information about this case.

Fine, I'll talk to her.

If this goes well,

they may reconsider bringing her back.

ZAMUDIO CONSORTIUM

- Good morning, Jessica. - Good morning, Jacobo.

- Good day. - Good day.

Paola, good morning, how are you?

Very good, thank you.

THE TERM OF THIS CONTRACT IS 3 MONTHS MANDATORY...

"Mandatory three-month contract."

Can you explain what all this shit is?

You'll have your exclusive

when I get the appointment you promised me

with the directors of the channel.

I don't intend to continue exposing myself

without having anything concrete.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

Thank you for your patience.

We have asked you here

because we know the attention this case has generated.

As you know, it is unusual for the prosecution

to present statements to the media

in the middle of an investigation.

But we are aware that the murder

of one of the most influential women in this country

has caused a great deal of commotion.

Today we have conclusive information

that can lead us to the murderer of Mrs. Beatriz Zamudio.

Juan. Are you OK?

Where are they?

Who? What are you talking about?

UNKNOWN YOUR WIFE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING

Juan, what's going on?

Nothing. Nothing.

Everything's fine, sweetie.

I'll see you later, OK?

That's right.

That's right.

What are you doing here?

Andrés can come in at any time.

Perfect.

One of the two will answer me.

Why are your family's properties in my mom's name?

Cathy,

can you walk the baby a little?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Where'd you get that from?

Are you going to tell me or should I ask him?

Beatriz discovered my dad

laundering money in his companies.

And took everything from us as collateral.

Collateral for what?

When you said we should leave together,

I was really going to leave.

But your mom discovered us...

and forced me to leave you

in exchange for saving my family.

She wanted me to marry Andrés.

This can't be happening.

My dad's stupidity ruined my family, Jacobo.

Beatriz intervened

so that my dad wouldn't go to jail.

But I had to turn you down...

and let you go.

WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT?

YOU HAVE TO DO IT

SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T WANT THE PROSECUTION'S EVIDENCE

TO COME TO LIGHT AS MUCH AS YOU.

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

IF I GO DOWN, YOU'RE GOING WITH ME.

20 YEARS EARLIER

Roses are like people.

They use their thorns to defend themselves,

but they are still beautiful.

Just as I can see the beauty in you.

And I want you to see it too.

You speak very nice,

but you aren't my mom.

But I could be if you let me.

It would only be for a while.

Until your parents come back...

or we find them.

Oh, you pricked yourself.

Are you OK? Are you OK?

It's fine.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Garrido.

Sandra isn't here.

What happened?

And they took everything?

The prosecution said they had evidence.

You can't do anything.

I want a divorce.

Wendy, Wendy, Wendy.

You finally decided to spend the money my mom gave you.

Don't look at me like that.

What, you thought I didn't know?

She couldn't have told you.

How do you think that idiot Jacobo will react

when he finds out you gave him up?

You're an asshole.

I thought we were going somewhere else.

You don't like it?

It's a surprise for both of us, honey.

What do you want?

Take off your clothes.

Not like that.

For me.

Touch yourself.

Turn around.

Let me take a look at you.

What the fuck are you doing?

What is this?

This is what you wanted, right?

To be a high-class whore.

Remember when you told me something like...

"Did you think I wouldn't be able

to fuck anyone but you?"

I loved it.

And I thought, "Why don't I sit

and enjoy myself while two guys fuck my wife?"

No.

You're an asshole.

And I thought that for the first time

in your fucking life

you had enough intelligence to grab me by the balls.

Go on.

Enjoy.

And let me enjoy myself too...

darling.

Forgive the time, mother, but...

it's important for the prosecution

to have that file.

We're talking about an adoption from...

- Twenty-five years ago. - Right.

I don't think we can help her.

Those files were lost in the 2017 earthquake.

Well, is there any other way,

anyone who works here that I can talk to...

- who knows anything? - Dr. Fuentes.

He's been with us all his life.

Can I see him?

Yes, he's in the infirmary.

Come on.

Someone's here for you, doctor.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Excuse me.

I wanted to help you forget her.

Crazy bitch.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

You're out of options.

Why does that child matter to the prosecution?

He must be an adult by now.

We're reopening the case of his mother's femicide.

Any information is welcome.

Well, I'm sorry, I never heard from him or Mrs. Zamudio again.

But I remember it was a very delicate case.

What do you mean by that?

The official police report

was that the boy had witnessed his father kill his mother.

But that's not what happened.

The boy was the one who killed his mom.
