Original subtitles

-Hello. -The bag is here already, right?

Yes, it's all here, yes.

Hey, I swear to you that yesterday my mom wanted to tell me something.

Like that.

I don't know if she tried to thank me or something, but.

I don't know, there was an attempt.

Okay, hey, I mean, sorry to butt in,

but if your mom has already let her guard down.

I'm going.

What you can do is.

I don't know, what you can do is an effort, obviously,

so that the relationship improves between you, right?

Yes, but it's not that easy, really.

No, no, yes, it's not that easy.

But, well, if you allow me, I can share with you

a little anecdote with my mom.

It was very nice, very special.

She also finds it very hard to apologize.

She had a big fight with my dad.

He went to work, and then my mom, well, she managed.

She made his favorite dish, which is mole tamales.

And you don't know, my dad had had a somewhat complicated day at work.

He came back from work.

And I just remember seeing his face

when he saw the dish like that on the table,

his eyes lit up.

I see my mom, she gave him a big hug. Practically that was the reconciliation.

It's another way, another attempt to apologize.

I think that's also valid.

It's a very nice story, just

I don't know if.

I don't know if it'll work with us.

I also don't know how to make tamales.

Yes, no, and also, I mean, why remember so many details.

Besides, there are other things I have to take care of.

-The loan sharks. -Yes, exactly, the lenders.

I mean, I know it's a matter of time, but I'm going to solve it.

I can't believe that someone in your neighborhood

suddenly becomes a bank.

Well, life in the neighborhood is very different, right?

There are other kinds of needs and sometimes that need leads you,

leads you to deal with the wrong person, right?

Just like what happened to my mom.

And are you going to report them?

I mean, because it's crazy that they are threatening her.

No. No, no, no. Reporting it would be

exposing my family, my mom, my sister,

me too. No, no, no. That's how I'm going to leave things.

I know I'm going to solve it, it's just a matter of time.

-We are proud to provide jobs. -Well, let's go.

To Mexican families for over 50 years.

For Robles and Associates, honoring their workers is everything.

-Wow. -Robles and Associates.

-Your dad would be very proud of you. -Like her,

-like me. -Right?

I arrive and find the little surprise of the communications campaign.

This is incredible.

Gabriel and Matías approved the advertisers' proposal.

I assumed they were going to send you the drafts.

Yes, but you know well that I was with Zafiro all day.

I know, I know.

-They kept Zoé's phrase. -What?

No, they kept Zoé's phrase.

Yes, I know perfectly what Zoé said.

Well, I won’t sign any more documents for you.

Thank you.

-Hello, Fino. -Hello.

I'm very glad that everything went well with Zafiro.

Well, finally you're happy because all these days you didn't care.

Let's see, I was very attentive, but I got stuck in the meeting.

Yes, it was a meeting in which they took advantage of my absence

to raise the status of Focal Point.

When precisely what I want is for it to disappear

or at least go unnoticed.

Let's see, I lost by majority. What did you want me to do?

If you had been there, you would have won.

Seriously.

COLLISION

Look at me, Belén, I did what I could, okay?

I know you had a really hard time with the Zafiro situation.

Well, I just ask you for a little sensitivity, you know?

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

if that dog had gotten lost.

-I know Zoé found him. -Well, that's another thing.

I must admit that if it weren't for her,

the story would be different, I'm telling you.

Let's see, I don't want to put more noise in your head, but,

don't you find it very strange

that Zoé went to look for him without telling you?

I mean, she was the one who found him, right?

We could run together if you want.

Well yes, now that you mention it

Zoé is the only one who knows my morning routine when I walk.

-Well, and the lifelong bodyguards. -There it is, that's it.

Let's not condemn her for that either, but.

I mean, maybe she just wants to get close to you and get your attention.

Well, but we didn't come to talk about Zoé.

I called you because I want to know how we're doing with Margarito.

Margarito is doing his job.

What worries me is that bastard Gabriel Iturrieta.

He gets happy all the time, and invalidates me all the time

all my ideas that I have in the meeting,

ours.

-Our ideas, Belén, our ideas. -Yes.

I'm going to go tonight to have dinner at his house, actually.

Can I come with you?

-What? -Yes, you woke up very funny today.

-Come on. -No, no, go do your thing.

Well.

Zafiro!

Please!

Where were you?

Better schedule and more budget, what?

Yes, come.

Come, come, come.

I wanted to tell you yesterday,

but you didn't answer the phone.

No, it's because of what happened with Zafiro.

You know that when my mom lets her guard down, you have to take advantage of it.

I can't believe it.

You don't know how happy I am about how things are going for you.

-Thanks. -Hey, what if we celebrate it

with a mother-daughter dinner?

I'll invite you both to dinner. Well, no.

My mom invites you. What do you think?

-Dinner at home. -Family dinner?

Family dinner.

Wow, I can't believe it.

It's just dinner, Gabriel, for God's sake.

I know it's just dinner, woman.

But couldn't you have chosen another time?

Lately Belén and I have had many differences

because of the whole group management issue.

Well, precisely because of that, here you settle things like adults.

What? Didn't you do that with Miguel Ángel?

Yes, but he was my friend.

And I trusted him blindly.

Well, Belén is my friend.

And yours too.

The Robles have been our friends for more than 30 years.

Look, I know you don't agree

with the way she has managed the group since Miguel Ángel died,

but, come on, have you never had a problem

when making an important decision?

Come on, my love.

Look, Belén already confirmed.

Mati and Zoé are coming.

So, why do you ask me?

If you're going to do whatever you want.

Well, I don't do it for you, mind you.

-No? -No, I do it for Matías.

I'm delighted with that relationship.

Everyone in the city talks about Mati and Zoé

as the couple of the moment.

-That's nonsense, my love. -No.

Yes, what's important here is what they talk among themselves.

Well, yes.

But come on,

you're not going to tell me that since they were so little

you didn't think that they were destined for each other.

Like you and me.

Helicopter mom.

With the support that the channel gave us,

we have no excuse not to be the best

in the next programs.

So I'm all ears.

I need topics

that are new, explosive, that,

-that give me goosebumps, that. -Me, me.

I found that there are some clandestine clinics where they put implants.

-Not that I know of, but I investigated. -That topic was already done

by the competition a few months ago, Bárbara. Thanks. Anyone else?

Zoé.

You're very quiet.

Yes.

I think we could do a show on lenders

that do business in the working-class neighborhoods.

I heard they have super high interest rates

that they charge in cash

and if you don't pay on time there's a lot of violence.

No. Violence, violence, violence. No, we have to be original.

Sorry.

An aunt of mine had to move out of her neighborhood

because one of these gangs was threatening them.

Yes, yes. And in fact, the father of a friend in high school

was killed about seven or eight years ago.

Yes, look, I'm not saying it won't work,

but I think it can be difficult

to find someone who is experiencing violence

-and willing to share their testimony. -I can do it.

I think I can do it. I think I can try.

Okay.

You have one day.

If not, we'll do what Bárbara says.

Okay, okay.

Okay?

-Is this his? -Don't be silly, Camacho.

We still can't know the baby's sex.

It's not showing.

I would die if it were a girl, boss.

Though a boy would also be fine, because I can teach him to play soccer.

And you can't teach girls?

You sound like my grandma.

You're right, boss.

But why don't we just get to work? Come on.

Yes, that's what I was going to say.

Look at the surprise that I got from San Miguel.

It turns out that one of the apartments had security cameras.

That's it, Camacho. Very good.

Let it just be a couple of questions and that's it, mom.

I already told you no.

-And that's it. I'm sure. -Are you sure?

Let me work, I'm going to deliver some tacos.

Alright,

Enjoy it.

-Sauce? -Zoé, there's no way.

I did all I could

but my mom says she's had enough problems with those people,

she just wants to pay them and forget about it.

But still, if you want I can put you in touch with a friend who.

-That's it, damn it. -Zoé. Okay.

There goes a determined woman.

Sugey, can we talk?

Of course.

Two? Make it four so you don't end up hungry.

Look, I understand you and I respect you, but

put yourself in my shoes.

You and I can do something to change things,

but if we stay silent, it won't work.

Both have the same dates, they coincide.

Yes, but we can't recognize him here.

So, they came in through the door, right?

The mechanic knew them, he let them in.

There are no signs of violence, I think they were caught off guard.

They strangled him and then staged all that suicide stuff.

How do we recognize them now?

Look, Camacho.

-What? -The sneakers.

-Don't they look familiar to you? -Yes.

It does seem like they have the same little design.

I didn't know you knew so much about fashion, boss.

No, it's just that my nephew just asked me for them for his birthday.

They cost an arm and a leg.

You should have told me, I know where they sell good clones.

That's the thing, Camacho.

It's a very exclusive brand,

they still don't make counterfeits in Mexico.

Which makes us think

that our friend is not a petty criminal.

I don't know, Camacho,

but these sneakers are the only lead we have on him.

That's it, Albertina, enjoy it!

Hey, and a miracle just happened here.

Can you tell me how you managed to convince my mom?

Because between us, it's difficult.

I presented my points.

First I told her that honestly I think it's our responsibility

to tell what is happening, because if we don't inform,

more people will end up with these lenders instead of avoiding them.

-And. -And secondly?

Secondly,

I promised her that she wouldn't be at any risk.

I'm going to blur her face and I won't say which neighborhood it is

so these guys can't identify her.

Alright.

Well, that's very good.

-Yes, it's okay, right? -Yes.

-Are you calm? -Yes, yes, yes. Especially my mom.

She just asked me that we do it quickly,

before Paloma gets home from school.

-Go ahead. Yes, let's hurry. -Shall we?

Yes, yes, yes. Mom!

-Albertina. -Albertina.

Yes, also to take away, exactly, to take away.

Wow!

They're delicious!

I know, I know, take them.

I want you to wear that dress, the pink one.

The one you use in the dating chat, it looks amazing.

-See you. -You'll see.

-Enjoy! -Sugey, we're heading ahead!

Well, Sugey, let's see,

the idea is that you tell us everything you've told me.

But you, I mean, calm, I know that you are a super hardworking woman,

you are a queen, we all love you, you are in good company, okay?

Calm and just tell me, okay?

-Yes. -Little by little.

Cheer up, seriously, this is very important.

It will help a lot of people. Let's do it.

You can do it, ma.

-You can do it, relax. -A really tight close-up, yes.

You're beautiful.

-Come on, you can. -Thank you, son.

-Come. -Thank you.

-Ready? -Ready.

-Let's go. -Cheer up!

You'll nail it.

-Ready! -Prepared.

-Okay. -Three, two.

Well, first,

why do you think in neighborhoods like this

this type of loans are common?

Well yes, miss. Well, out of necessity and.

Stop it for a moment. Don't worry.

Yes, sure.

Sugey.

Excuse me.

Breathe, calm down, you're doing very well.

Let's do something.

Ignore the camera.

-Okay? Look at me. -Yes.

-And let's gossip. -Okay.

-Okay. -Yes, yes, yes.

-Very well, ready, we're set. -Better that way.

-The gossip, yes. -Yes, yes.

Come on, ma.

-Ready? -Yes.

Ready, three, two.

Very well, why do you think in these neighborhoods

it is customary to have this type of loans?

Well, miss, because.

Banks make it increasingly difficult for us,

and well,

debts are on our heels and we have no other choice.

So we go to those people.

And do they lend to you easily?

At first they are very kind,

but in the end they want their money back.

Yes.

And if you don't pay on the agreed date,

then they don't care about anything and they cause you trouble.

You understand me, right, miss?

Yes, perfect. Yes, continue.

You're doing very well.

That's all, it couldn't be clearer.

-Andy. -Yes?

Sorry, can I talk to you?

Yes, tell me.

I got the testimony of a woman who sells tacos.

The truth is she is wonderful

and she signed the authorization to appear on the program.

She only has one condition

and that is that we do not reveal her identity.

You know, she is afraid of reprisals from these people.

Okay, okay, I understand.

Honestly, I thought you wouldn't get it.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-Thank you! -Thank you.

And now, one of your favorite dishes, Belén.

For my guest of honor, your beloved Gobernador tacos.

Thank you very much. Look at that presentation.

Cooking is still your thing, Maricarmen.

I hate to disappoint you, friend, but this time I didn't prepare them.

Thank you.

I hired a chef to take care of everything.

-Well. -Fair, that's fair.

It looks great.

Hey, I was remembering.

Do you remember when we were kids and we got into the kitchen

and made cakes?

-Do you remember? -Yes.

I don't remember.

I mean, you don't remember because you were very bad at it.

Alright, I still am, and take pride in it.

I confirm.

Congratulations on your show, Zoé.

I tell you that Gabriel and I never miss Focal Point.

We are your number one fans.

Thank you, how sweet, really. Still, it's not my show,

it's a show made by many talents.

There are about 20 people working there

and they really make the magic happen.

And talents that are already being recognized in the presidency.

Did you know we lost the dog?

-No. -Yes, yes.

It was my dog, you mean.

Well, where was it?

With a lady.

Very strange, because Zafiro had never gone with strangers, never.

Yes. What are you implying, mom?

Me?

And why do you think I'm implying something?

I don't know, it seemed like it.

So, why don't we have a toast because you found Zafiro?

-For Zafiro. -Yes, for Zafiro.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Thank you.

Why don't you tell that girl how you feel?

Gee, gee.

How do you know?

After so many years in this profession

I recognize that little face of being in love.

The good thing about us waitresses

is that we know how to listen.

In that we are like sex workers

and priests.

Sure.

If it's not so easy to talk about her it must be either because she's famous

or because she's not for you.

Well, she is.

Well, yes, it's a bit complicated.

But, what if it's a bit of both?

Then, you're doomed.

But you relax, because I'll be here waiting for you.

Cheers.

Clearly, the good doesn't last.

Where did the good go?

A double whiskey, my love.

What I'm telling you, Gabriel,

is that if the Senate approves that project

and environmental licenses are frozen, well, it would be fatal for the group.

Well, we'll resolve that in due time.

Now the most prudent thing is not to get ahead of ourselves.

I'm just imagining a scenario.

And in that particular scenario

I'd prefer that we were united, right?

All of us.

You and me especially.

My loyalty to the company is unquestionable, Belén.

You know it.

And with its president?

I would have loved if you had consulted me about the new schedule

and budget for Focal Point, for example.

And this goes for you too, Matías.

Hey, why don't we talk about things other than work?

-Yes, yes, yes. -Yes, please, mom.

For example, about you, where is your relationship at?

Juanito, Juanito, I didn't expect to see you here again.

I didn't expect you to reject my proposal, dude.

So what? Did you come to convince me or what?

I need you to stay away from Zoé, asshole. Now.

Let's see if I understood correctly.

Stay away from Zoé? But I work for her.

And as long as she doesn't fire me, well, sorry, Juan,

but I'm going to have to be near her.

I already know what you're doing, you want to win her over

just like you won over Miguel Ángel, but don't be an idiot.

Don't get confused, Juan, I'm not you.

You're the one pretending to be something you're not.

Too bad I realize it so late, right?

Look, asshole, I wasn't the one who stole

the 35 thousand dollars, dude, it was you, liar son of a bitch.

You know that's a lie, asshole? That's a lie, idiot. Accept it.

You stole my passwords

and you entered the system pretending to be me.

-Accept it. -You were really drunk that day.

Idiot, because you set me a trap. That's why, asshole.

Calm down!

Well, it turns out

this doesn't speak very well of you.

See you.

Look, I know I could be wrong,

but since you were little, and I found out you were dating,

I already imagined you at the altar.

Mom, please, please.

Please what, Mati?

You won't deny that when Zoé went to live in London,

you locked yourself in your room crying for two days, right?

How he cried.

-Maricarmen, Maricarmen. -"Zoé, Zoé!"

And you, Zoé.

Are you really going to tell me that it seems crazy to you

the idea of marrying my son?

-Hey, no. -No, I mean,

well, I had never thought about it, honestly.

No, I mean,

-did it never cross your mind? -Belén.

Imagine the two last names together.

Iturrieta Robles.

You and me as grandmothers.

-Mom. -No, but let me tell you something.

It's just that you look like you're thirty.

-Yes. Right? -Thank you very much.

My mom is very well preserved.

-She takes good care of herself. -And it shows.

Yes, in fact I tried to follow her morning routine and

I couldn't keep up with her pace. Impressive.

-No. -Very funny, very funny.

Well, you didn't inherit my energy nor my perseverance.

And why don't you put some of that energy and perseverance

into rebuilding your life?

Haven't you considered the possibility for the future

of opening yourself to a relationship?

I think Miguel Ángel would understand it perfectly.

-No, no, of course. -Sorry.

My love!

-Excuse me, I'm very. -Excuse him, it's just that really.

-I'm very clumsy. -What if we go to the studio

-and listen to some music? -Yes, that's a very good idea.

-Yes, it's music time. -But beautiful music.

-Let's go. -Yes, my love.

-Yes. -Yes.

Let's get going.

-Yes, yes, yes. -Yes.

I don't know if you remember when you went.

-I think that. -Let's go. Let's go, Belén.

You and I together. Come.

-Come on, Belén. -Let me. Let me,

I'll be there in a second.

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

The usual, please.

The news that the police returned to San Miguel de Allende.

-What for? -I don't know.

They have doubts about the mechanic's death.

They were asking people and went over the place again.

And did they see you?

Of course not.

Well, I know how to do my job well.

But there is something else.

Well, just say it already, okay?

Well, it's just a question.

Because I feel that there are things you know

and that you don't want to tell me.

Look, I pay you to give me all the information

and the progress of the police,

not so that you keep asking me questions, bastard.

-Is it clear to you or not? -Clear.

The reality is that the police haven't told the family anything

and they need to find out.

You are the little messenger

who brings the information to Miss Zoé, right?

Yes, and I want to bring her something else.

Look, I need you to focus on the main suspect,

Ikal Gonzáles.

Get all the information that the police have on him.

Everything.

Yes, boss.

Good morning, Madam President.

-How are you? -What part of keeping me informed

of everything my daughter does didn't you understand?

With the recognition you gave us,

the schedule change and the budget increase.

I wasn't the one who gave you that recognition.

I'd have you all off the air!

Are you pushing Zoé? Or are you focused on helping her seal

those great ideas that she comes up with?

Of course I push her, it's just that she is very good working under pressure.

Well, maybe you're not being tough enough with her.

Or I don't know, maybe all these years in the company

have made you a bit soft.

I don't know what you think,

but I believe that Focal Point doesn't need Zoé to shine.

Now, if that's the case,

Focal Point maybe doesn't need you.

I thought you had left.

It's super important to me

that with the effect the face is not recognizable.

-But nothing, okay? -Okay.

Then show me the voice effect

-so that it gets distorted. -Banks make it

-increasingly difficult for us. -Okay.

Come on, okay? Show me.

-How are we doing here? -Good, we're almost done.

I'm going to show the voice effect and that's it.

-Was that clear to you? -Yes.

Okay.

Zoé, could I ask you to help Bárbara? I would appreciate it a lot,

you know she gets nervous about today’s interview. If you could.

Yes.

-Thank you. -I'm counting on you for this.

So we go to those people.

Thank you very much, senator, for accepting this meeting.

It's always a pleasure to see you.

Do you have any news for us?

I'm on it, Belén.

-When is the voting? -Tomorrow.

So soon?

I already have confirmed votes against from two senators.

I just need to confirm one more.

I need to be sure that this project is going to sink.

Don't worry, dear Belén.

That initiative is practically in the coffin.

We just need to throw some dirt on it and that's it.

No, well, cheers.

One moment.

First, I'd like to add something.

And it would be a real shame

if Robles and Associates had to withdraw

their support for your candidacy, senator.

I don't know much about politics,

but I do know that when the media forgets about a candidate

it's harder for the public opinion to learn about the government plan.

CITY PUBLIC SECURITY NATIONAL POLICE

Check that for me, please.

Thank you.

INVESTIGATION

Nothing?

Nothing, boss.

Just that damn annoying kid from 202.

I'm going to stretch my legs for a bit.

Boss, sorry to say this,

but don't you think it's time to cut back on the coffee?

Otherwise, soon the boy in there is going to start kicking you.

Boy or girl.

Thanks for looking out for me, Camacho.

But better focus on finding something new in that video.

No way.

Boss!

Well, man. You finally bother to answer me, Humberto.

No, look. First let me explain to you that with that law we would be stopping

the country's economic growth.

We would stop generating thousands of jobs

and a lot of money.

Have you figured out your vote for tomorrow?

No?

Okay. Wait, let's talk about it, man.

No, well, Humberto. Well?

This bastard.

FOCAL POINT

Good evening and thank you for joining us

in this new time slot.

The high rates of unemployment, poverty

and the increase in the costs of daily life

have allowed the expansion of an informal loan system

which instills fear in the people who are forced to use it.

The daily payments, also known as loan-sharking.

Alright, mom, everything is going to be fine.

Thank you.

Imagine later when they ask you for photos here in the neighborhood.

Well, you won't be able to.

Well, yes.

Not only are the interests unpayable,

but intimidation and fear form the basis

of how their collectors work.

Is that Zoé's voice?

-How cool. -Yes, little sister. Super cool, right?

Let me hear it.

I run the taco stand, and my family lives off that.

It's not enough. I had to ask for money.

Mom, but if it's you, there's your face.

Yes.

-What happened? -I don't know, mom.

A mistake, I think, but I don't know what's going on.

She said that wasn't going to happen.

-No way. -What's going on?

No way.

Wait.

Then they don't mind anything and cause trouble.

Answer me, Andy.

-You understand, right, ma'am? -Yes.

Andy, answer me!

Threats. The other day, they brought my daughter from school.

And the other day, they arrived at the stand and...

What's wrong, my girl?

What's wrong?

-You understand, right, ma'am? -Yes.

-Hi, beautiful. -Mati, please,

Mati, you have to help me, listen to me.

-What happened? -Listen, I'm watching the show

and Sugey is on it and her face looks perfectly clear, it's not blurred,

there's no effect, I don't know what happened.

Dear, I'm not watching the show, I'm arriving home.

Listen, these people are very dangerous.

Take it off the air, Matías, take it off the air already.

Okay, let me see what I can do.

No, no, what can you do? No!

It has to disappear, I mean, do whatever it takes.

Yes, yes, I'll let you know right now.

Your turn, sir.

Yes.

Sorry.

I call and raise.

Since when do you like Focal Point?

No, it's because I know that lady.

And where do you know her from?

I mean, she looks familiar, that's what I meant.

I don't know if she looks familiar to you.

I don't know, maybe I'm mixing things up. I don't know.

But I think what's happening here is more interesting.

And you haven't seen anything yet.

No.

-No, no, no, no. -Drink it, my girl.

Drink it.

-Ikal. -What you did to us is unforgivable.

I trusted you, we trusted you all!

No, Sugey, I swear I don't know what happened,

I mean, I really applied the effect myself, I did it.

I don't understand how it's not there!

I'm really sorry. I mean, I don’t know what happened.

No, you Robles never intend to do harm,

because you are little angels.

Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down!

-Sugey! Sugey! -To the room, to the room.

-Run to the room! -Please answer me!

What's wrong with you?

Calm down, calm down, calm down.

Don't step out, Paloma!
