What's wrong?

Zoé, are you okay?

Sorry, no, I...

-I don't know what I'm doing. -No, don't apologize.

-No, yes. -No, it's just...

Zoé, it's just you and me. It's fine.

No, it's not fine.

You have no idea how much I wanted this to happen. Believe me.

No, please, please...

-Zoé. -Please, I mean,

I'm messing everything up...

No, don't say that.

No, yeah. Of course I am, of course I'm messing this up.

There are so many things...

But Zoé, we're not doing anything wrong.

We're doing so many things wrong.

Look, I'm sorry. It's not your fault, it's...

-I, I... -Zoé.

Ikal.

Please.

Zoé.

COLLISION

I'm not a criminal. Put the gun down.

Whose phone is that?

It's mine.

Is it a crime to have two phones?

-Put the gun down! -Stay away from me!

Step aside.

You can't take anything from my house without a court order.

I want you in the office tomorrow morning,

first thing, Mr. Siqueiros. Bring that phone.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm warning you, you have to be there,

otherwise, I'll come back with a search warrant.

And do not delete anything from that phone.

Cybercrime can detect it right away.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here, Ofelia?

-Go do your job! -I'm going, I'm going.

I guess it could happen.

There's press everywhere outside, did you see?

Hey, where are you coming from?

Aren't you aware of what happened?

They killed the man in prison who accused your mom of paying him.

When is this going to end?

And you do realize they did it to frame me, right?

Or to get rid of the accusation.

I'm sick of you accusing me without proof, for God's sake!

I'm telling you, Zoé, that man was about to change his statement.

Okay.

His version didn't hold up.

Look, Lombardo, don't even try.

This girl can't think past her hatred.

Right, because you're just so empathetic...

Can you two save this for later?

For now, no one is leaving this house today.

And don't talk to anyone.

Well, it's very clear to me.

And please, get the press away from the house.

Yeah, I'll handle it.

Zoé, if you're going to do or say something,

I suggest you talk to your lawyer first.

You're basically a celebrity now.

I had to wait for you in hiding, those reporters won't leave you alone.

Well, I'm not a celebrity, Zoé is.

No one's stalking me.

I'll come back for you when the Robles case

is no longer front-page news.

Wait, Ashley, hold on.

No one's stalking me.

My life hasn't changed at all.

Besides, I think today's my lucky day.

You're not going to let me waste it, right?

Come on.

Phone and any device with GPS, hand it over.

You set a code, it locks, you'll get it back when you leave.

Perfect.

Here you go.

The man was going to reveal who paid him

to frame Mrs. Robles, then they kill him.

It clearly hurts my client's case.

And we won't be making any more statements.

The Robles drama is so good, right?

Honestly, I don't even know who scares me more,

the local dealers on my block or these damn rich murderers.

Three aces. Yeah!

Let's go!

Thanks.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Yeah, I made it home okay, I'm fine.

Okay. Well, I'm guessing you ran

into a bunch of reporters at your house, right?

Yeah.

There was so much press here, you have no idea.

Hey, I'm really sorry about what happened at the prison.

Were you able to talk to your lawyer or not?

Yeah, apparently, depending on how you look at it,

this death could either help or hurt my mom's case.

But I don't know...

They keep telling me not to do anything and I guess that's what I'm going to do.

I'm really sorry.

Hey, but listen to her, will you?

I mean, at least try.

I also made some decisions about the company, and I...

And what?

We need to talk about that kiss, Ikal.

Zoé, I didn't think you were going to bring that up,

but it wasn't just one kiss, there were several.

Don't start, please.

Look, Zoé.

In my mind, I'm still kissing you, holding you,

-and breathing in that scent you... -Ikal, please, stop. I...

Okay, okay, look.

Let's do this.

At least let me fall asleep tonight with this feeling, all right?

Because it feels really good.

Does that sound okay?

Well, try to get some rest, all right?

You, too.

You're not hanging up?

Okay, fine. Me, me.

Are you okay?

I use two phones.

One for business, the other is personal.

I don't see the problem.

Miguel Ángel Robles received ten calls from that phone

the day of the attack, plus a message that said:

"Do not push me or you'll regret it."

I know where this is going, but it's not what it looks like.

I had a relationship with an employee at the company.

Miguel Ángel found out.

He got all self-righteous and tried to accuse me of abuse.

And inappropriate behavior.

What's that woman's name?

Abril. Abril Mendieta.

The truth is, there was no abuse.

It was a consensual relationship, and you can ask her.

The thing is, Miguel Ángel was about to travel,

and I was trying to settle the matter quickly.

I tried to call him several times, but he never picked up.

And you decided to settle it with a threat.

I didn't kill him.

Take it easy, man. It's fine.

Or is it not?

I was angry when I sent that message.

That's how it came out.

Don't tell me you've never blown up.

Can you explain the incident from two years ago?

When you got into a fight with Mr. Miguel Ángel.

It was a private matter.

Just a fight between men.

A bit of pressure, stress, some business disagreements,

things you wouldn't understand.

Well, it's not really common for business partners

to settle things with their fists, is it?

That's true, but it only happened once.

What is pretty common is you losing your temper.

Because I yelled at my own house?

After you barged in without a warrant and pointed a gun at me?

Does your boss know about that?

Of course.

And I would've done the same thing.

You have a history of violent behavior.

You acted violently at home.

What did you expect me to do, Inspector?

Just stand there and watch?

Let's be clear about something.

I came here, I showed you my phones,

I cooperated, answered all your questions.

Do you actually have anything against me?

I mean, so I know if I need to call my lawyer.

Which phone will you use?

You may go.

It's true.

I get angry easily.

And I hit hard.

But I'm not a murderer.

If you want to keep looking for suspects, go ahead.

There are plenty at Robles and Associates.

Hello, hello. Can you hear me?

Yes, we hear you loud and clear, Grandpa!

-Yes! -How are things over there?

How have you been?

Not so great, son.

They've already started rerouting the river water

because of that damn mine.

Wait, what? They've already diverted the river?

Part of it, dear.

This mess, well, I probably won't live to see it all,

but your children and my great-grandchildren will.

Ikal, are you still working for those people?

That's what I tell him every day!

Yes, Grandpa, and I'm guessing my mom already told you what they said to me.

I don't know, something about my dad's death

still bothers me. I can't shake it.

Of course I tell him. I value his advice.

All right, fine.

Yes, Grandpa, because that's the place I need to be

if I really want to get justice for my dad. Don't you think?

Just because a place calls to you,

doesn't mean it's the right thing for you.

You don't have to follow every calling you hear.

That's exactly what I keep telling him.

Think carefully if this is your fight.

And whether it's worth investing your life in it.

If it is, then don't hold back.

Dad!

-Unbelievable. -See, Mom?

Thank you so much, Grandpa!

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning, Joaquín.

Good morning.

All right, let's get started.

Honestly, I'd like to request a proper environmental study.

Sweetie, what are you talking about?

We already have that study, and it's a serious one.

Yes, but it was done from Spain,

and I need one conducted by experts from this region.

Wait, why are we listening to Zoé?

Is she even allowed to make these kinds of proposals?

She absolutely is, according to the bylaws.

Zoé inherited 50 percent of her father's shares.

And as I understand it, he held 75 percent of the company,

so she gets half of that.

So I can request the study. Thank you.

You're not qualified to be part of a board meeting.

That's not the point.

Zoé is a shareholder making a request, that's all.

Listen, Zoé, your request just doesn't make sense.

We're about to begin extraction.

You're going to cost us millions.

Then let them be lost.

That's nothing compared to what these people could lose.

-You know what I think, Zoé? -What?

That this is all part of the feud you have with your mother.

I honestly don't care what you think.

Because this is the right thing to do.

And it's exactly what my dad would've done if he were still alive.

Good morning, my lucky prince.

Sorry I didn't make you breakfast,

I'm not the type who cooks.

Wait, wait.

What happened last night? I'm confused.

Well, it was a great night.

You won.

In every sense, I'd say.

I mean...

This hasn't happened to me since...

Since high school.

I didn't slip you anything, but take it easy waking up.

Make yourself at home.

I have to go.

-Nice to meet you, Diego. -Pleasure's mine.

So, Lombardo mentioned

that you're one of the top image consultants in the country, so...

I try to be, ma'am. And it's an honor you called me.

Well, before you get started,

I want to let you know I went to the prosecutor's office.

I told them about my conversation with Samuel Ríos.

They said they'd take it into account, but the investigation is still ongoing.

Much weaker now, but they won't stop it.

Well, I'm not surprised.

We all know how much public opinion affects a judge's decisions, so...

That's why I need to rebuild my image.

And that's exactly what we'll do.

In a couple of weeks,

no one will dare question your innocence.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll let you get to work.

-Have a good day, Lombardo. -Have a good day.

Thank you.

All right, what do you say we sit down and get started?

Of course.

I did a study to analyze how your image is perceived...

What I'd really like is to go back to charity work,

pick up the foundation again, for example.

Very good.

I read that father Francisco Ortega is a close friend of the foundation.

He was very close to Miguel Ángel.

He baptized my kids, they did their first communion with him.

And he'll probably be the one to marry your daughter to Matías Iturrieta.

That could definitely work in our favor.

Wow.

Looks like we're on the same page.

Thank you.

Speaking of your daughter...

She has the look of a suffering heroine,

delicate, soft beauty,

but with enough courage to stand up to her mother.

A mother who, if you'll excuse me, is much closer to being a femme fatale.

Please!

A femme fatale? Me?

Well, that's the last thing I expected to hear today.

I'll take it as a compliment.

It is one, of course.

But right now it doesn't help us.

We need to push the lover aside and bring out the mother.

Well, I work with Juan because he runs my mining company,

so avoiding him completely is going to be difficult.

Fine, but always in public.

Keep some distance. Never alone.

Seriously?

It's only for a while.

All right.

And as for the second part...

You know, I used to be a happy mother.

And I promise I'll help you rebuild your image.

A femme fatale?

Do I really look like a femme fatale?

It's just a way of putting it.

You think I was born yesterday?

You ditched me just to be alone with Belén.

No, man, come on. No, I didn't.

I honestly thought you knew where the lunch was.

I saw the way you look at her, Marc.

I look at her the way I'd look at any beautiful woman. So what?

-Feeling insecure, or what? -Keep going and I'll break your face.

Calm down, bullfighter. Take it easy.

We're here to do business.

There's no time for flirting or jealousy.

Just don't pull a stunt like yesterday again.

Remember, Belén is my woman.

Perfect.

Then tell me, what are we going to do about your stepdaughter?

Because Zoé is becoming a real pain in the ass.

Tell me, can you handle her on your own, or do you need help?

Well, I ordered a new soil study in Sonora.

And I'd also like to talk to people

who are actually connected to the local communities there.

I thought you'd have some contacts, your family's from there, right?

Yeah, my grandfather's perfect for that.

I mean, he's kind of old-school,

but I can try to warm him up to the idea.

-Yes! -Yes.

That'd be perfect, honestly.

I really want to give a voice to the people in Sonora.

Business can't always be the top priority, right?

I totally agree, and actually,

that might be what convinces my grandpa.

-Yes. You can count on it. -Cool.

-Great. -Very good.

Zoé, I couldn't wait to be with you, to see you, to be here.

Like this.

Me neither...

But this is crazy. I mean, it has to stop.

I'm, I'm engaged.

No, no, no.

Come on.

Well, yeah. There's what we know and there's what we feel, right?

And those two are headed in different directions.

CITY PUBLIC SECURITY NATIONAL POLICE

Did Mr. Siqueiros pressure you into having a sexual relationship?

No, on the contrary. I never felt forced into anything.

I think he's a very attractive man.

A real gentleman.

Were you aware that Mr. Miguel Ángel Robles

wanted to file a complaint with Human Resources?

Yes, and it really scared me because I thought they might fire me too.

Over something that made no sense.

Joaquín and I...

It was a mistake doing it in the office,

but we're all passion.

Or well, used to be.

That's why I asked Joaquín to beg Mr. Robles

not to take action against us.

It was the same day as the accident.

Attack, miss.

Joaquín told me he called him all morning,

but he never answered.

Would you say Siqueiros had a bad relationship

or serious anger toward Miguel Ángel?

Angry enough to kill him?

Come on.

Joaquín is not a criminal,

and he wasn't the only one angry at Mr. Robles.

Who else?

Well, Mr. Miguel Ángel always wanted to control everything at the company.

He was the majority shareholder, but he went way beyond business.

He got into people's personal lives, and he had no business being there.

That's why a lot of people didn't like him.

Give me names.

I don't have to.

I came to help Joaquín,

because he doesn't deserve to be a suspect.

Can I go now?

Can she?

Thank you.

Is that really Lobesito?

-What's up, man? -What's going on?

Didn't you say you were going to try harder at life?

See, man? This is what happens when you slack off.

That's what you get for not taking your work seriously, dude.

We're going. Take care.

Hey, what happened with that girl?

You just let her go like that?

-You didn't go after her? -No, man. On the contrary.

She's already with the rich guy, she's got the ring and everything.

What could I possibly offer her?

A ride in my moto taxi? Come on.

Dude, you've got so much love to give, man.

And it pours out of you.

Don't even say that, because look, when I'm near her,

I feel like I'm floating.

And the kisses?

Man, don't even get me started!

Because look, when I close my eyes, I feel like I'm right there next to her,

and when I open them, I swear I still see her.

Even when she's not there.

Yeah, but move over, I'm not her.

I'm way better looking, bro.

Alright, alright.

But the thing is...

You know.

I need to stay sharp and focused on my goal,

because I have to stay at Robles and Associates

until I figure out what really happened to my dad.

I get it, man, but you don't understand, seriously.

Hey, what's the deal with that guy?

Yeah, Lobesito...

Should I keep this?

I mean, sure, there are a thousand memes

about "Stay with the one who looks at you like this," but...

Wow!

Where do you even find a guy who looks at someone like that?

Seriously, what are you two talking about?

Hey, sorry, girl. They told me I'd find you here,

but I didn't know it was such a private moment.

Seriously, Aitana? Really?

-Come on. -What?

-What? -Just tell me,

should I keep it or not?

Delete it. Erase it!

Okay, okay, okay.

Just letting you know, you've got competition.

Enough! Both of you.

We're done. That's enough.

She only wants what you have.

Poor Ikal.

We'll catch up later. Laura's getting nervous.

Girl, I've got no one and you've got two loves.

-Are you serious? -What?

I'm with Matías. What are you talking about?

Yeah, but tell that to your jealousy

because that's how you reacted when you saw Ikal and Bárbara.

Come on, girl! Spill it, we tell each other everything!

-Girl. -What?

We kissed and it was intense.

Like, top kisses of my life.

Okay, and?

And then...

I don't know. I don't know.

I can't get him out of my head, obviously.

Wait, so, does that mean it's over with Matías?

No, no, no.

I mean, I don't know.

I don't know.

I really don't know what to do.

Let's stop talking about it, okay? Enough.

Well, just do what you feel, girl. Don't overthink it.

-What do you feel? -Nothing, I don't know what I feel!

It's not that easy, seriously.

Come on, why are you here? Tell me something else.

No, come on, you tell me the details.

Is he a good kisser or what?

Is he?

And where did it happen?

-Girl, enough! For the love of God! -Come on, tell me more!

Joaquín dragged others into this indirectly,

and his lover hinted that more people were angry.

Too many coincidences to ignore.

That's a classic guilty move.

Trying to shift attention to someone else.

We have nothing solid so far, but that guy is violent.

Inspector, before you even ask,

I already started running background checks

on all the shareholders of Robles and Associates.

We're going to need a bigger board,

there's no room left for so many damn photos.

What's wrong?

My stomach's tightening up.

It hurts.

Alright, go home already.

-No, I still have to... -No, what you have is a pregnancy.

Go home. That's an order.

-I'll take her. -No, no, no.

I'll get you a taxi. You stay on the Sánchez case.

The boss talked to me.

If you go on leave for a few days, we'll end up chatting about soccer.

I'm not going anywhere.

It's an order from Hernández. Come on, I'll walk you to the taxi.

So, no strapless, nothing tight, nothing low-cut.

-Nothing. -No bright colors...

Yeah, and no stiletto heels.

Believe it or not,

those rank at the top of the "sexy" list.

Even if you dressed like a nun, you'd still look gorgeous, super sexy.

You're sweet, Delfino, but that's not helping.

Right now, what really matters to me is dealing with my daughter's situation.

And the foundation, right?

I guess my image has to match what I want to do.

-Exactly. -Zoé's situation is so tough.

Honestly, I was really hoping you would reconcile.

See? It actually works.

Nobody wants a mother far from her children.

Excuse me, ma'am, Mr. Juan is waiting for you.

Tell him I can't see him.

Should I tell him to leave?

How many ways do I have to say it?

With a microphone? In writing?

Excuse me, ma'am.

Let's pick the look for Sonora.

Earth tones, right? I'm guessing?

Yes.

-Hi. -Hi.

They told me I could ask here about some internal records.

-Records? -Yes, from Focal Point.

Apparently, it's information that's supposed to be online,

but I couldn't find anything.

Well, yeah, that information was lost

-sometime around two thousand... -2003?

-2003. -No, don't even bother looking.

We only have those documents in physical copies.

Let me check with the archive vault, see if they can give you access.

From Focal Point?

Yes, yes. Ikal González.

Yes.

Ikal.

What are you doing here?

They messed up your wage number too, right?

-Happens every month. -Yeah, same here.

-Dude! -Yeah.

Hey, thanks for yesterday.

How about I pay you back with lunch?

Sounds good. I'm in.

Yes.

I'm sorry, they say those files contain very sensitive documents.

They said you need a signed letter from the channel's director.

From the director...

Okay, thank you.

Get out of the car, please.

Are you sure no one followed you?

I'm sure. But I don't get it,

you won't see me at home, and now you call me here?

You don't seem to realize the kind of trouble we're in.

You know I'll always do whatever it takes

to help you with anything, Belén.

You know that.

But right now, you're my biggest problem, Juan.

That's why we need to stop seeing each other. That's that.

Why?

Because being with you

is what's doing the most damage to my image.

And in order to pressure the judge, I'm supposed to clean up my reputation.

What about me?

Doesn't it matter what I feel, what I think?

Please, don't talk to me like that.

Then how should I talk to you?

Tell me how,

because everyone already knows about us. So what?

We can finally be together,

and now you're pretending to be some honorable widow?

-Come on, give me a break! -Yes. That's exactly

what I'm pretending to be.

Because I have a company to protect

from all those vultures trying to take it from me.

So, yes, we have to stay apart, even if it's just for a while.

What do you mean "a while"? How long? A month?

-Two months? -I don't know!

-Tell me how long, Belén! -I don't know!

But right now, this country sees me as a murderer and a slut.

Do you think this is the time for romance?

I'm fighting for my life here.

So if you want to support me, then support me.

I don't want to give speeches in Sonora, father.

What I really want is to help.

Donations are a great gesture, Belén.

Yes, I already have the list of the schools in greatest need.

And I also want to support the local chapel.

I'll speak with the Bishop of Cajeme so he can receive you.

Thank you, father.

And tell me, how is my dear Zoé?

To be honest, we're going through a terrible time.

I think I need to go back to being her mother.

Let me help you both.

I'll suggest she join you for the donations.

-Great. -Doing this together

could be the beginning of a better path.

You know how much I love family.

Yes, of course. I think that's a wonderful idea, father.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

I have to go, I have to give mass.

-Of course. Go ahead. -Excuse me.

Listen to me, Zoé.

We're going to Sonora and we'll take the donations.

And no matter where things stand between us,

I think it's something we should do together.

I don't understand what you want, Mom.

I know.

But I just had a conversation with father Francisco,

and I think it really helped me.

You want the priest on your side? I don't get it.

I don't want sides.

And the father is on the side of the family.

He's going to call you himself in a little while

to ask you to come with me,

and I really don't think you can say no.

If it were genuine, I'd think it's a nice gesture,

but since I can't trust you...

Anyway, Mom, I'll call you later. I have stuff to do.

Zoé!

You need to see this.

Good afternoon, ma'am.

I'm Detective Marina Valdez.

Yes, I know who you are.

Mrs. Siqueiros, would you please remove your sunglasses?

Yes to water, no to lithium!

Yes to water, no to lithium!

Yes to water, no to lithium!

Yes to water, no to lithium!

Yes to water, no to lithium!

Yes to water, no to lithium!

There's my grandpa.

You said you wanted to meet him, well, that's him.

Yes to water, no to lithium!

Yes to water, no to lithium!

I think this is going to go well. These things always catch on,

people love peaceful protests.

Bárbara, stop speculating. We're not chasing ratings.

This is real.

Well, I doubt it'll stay peaceful for long.

Let's hope someone actually listens, because this is a fair demand.

-It's the least they deserve. -Zoé, can we talk, please?

What's going on?

So, that's your grandfather?

He's your grandfather?

Yes. Yeah, he is.

You really do look alike.

I can't believe how distant we are.

I'm listening.

Juan called me yesterday.

Obviously I answered to see what he wanted.

He's up to something.

Zoé, please, I can't take this anymore.

Can we calm down?

Can we talk somewhere else? Please.

Thank you.

What's up, Gena?

It's been so long.

Put your seatbelt on!

There, so nothing happens to us.

Here's the button.

I don't know. I really think we're going through a rough patch.

I think we've been fighting a lot.

Yeah, we're fighting, but it's normal, all couples do.

I don't know, Mati, I think it goes a little deeper than that.

No, no.

No. Giving up and letting it all fall apart, that's the easy way out.

What happened?

A sign from the universe.

No, that's not a sign.

It's the company.

We're always here, always talking about the company.

We need to get out, that's what it is.

We need to go out, make plans, I need to take you out to eat,

we need to talk about the wedding. That's what makes me the happiest.

What?

Zoé, are you...

Are you having doubts about the wedding?

Mati, I just don't think we're in the right place

to be thinking about marriage. Honestly.

Accounting.

Accounting.

Human Resources...

March, 2009.

Genaro...
