"HUMAN EVIL DWELLS IN THE DENIAL OF THE SHADOW,

THE DARK AND UNCONSCIOUS PART OF OUR PERSONALITY." CARL JUNG.

-[gunshot] -[rattling]

[police siren wailing]

[dramatic music intensifies]

[music fading]

[Giraldo] "I'll be death,

and I'll have to finish what they didn't even let me start."

"Cut off the Medusa's head."

This guy doesn't even know how to write.

It looks like a kid's handwriting, but they want to throw us off the scent.

Yes, and everything is connected to this, Coronel.

We have Gabriel Chafir, the Medusa thing,

as well as René, and now we have Brito.

[Porras] Don't forget we need to interrogate René again.

[Danger] Yes, of course.

No can do. He hanged himself.

[dramatic sting]

He committed suicide? Just like Gabriel Chafir?

There are lots of people who choose to take that path in life.

No, no, no, no. Something's strange about this.

Don't you think, Coronel?

Even more so now that we have a connection between Brito and Gabriel Chafir.

Nobody entered René's room, and no one entered Gabriel Chafir's cell.

[Danger] We're still missing a piece of the story with these suicides.

Especially now that we have that note

and the warehouse that was full of that witchy voodoo shit.

Let me investigate the death of Garminda, and we'll reopen the case if we have to.

[scoffs]

You're not asking me to poke the bear, are you?

We're talking about my partner's life, Coronel.

So help me.

I can face the press.

Don't get involved in this, Carmelo.

The Garminda case will be handled by the DA's office and the Penitentiary.

Instead, bring me the resolution of the Gamboa case.

Mm?

Yes, Coronel.

Thanks, sir.

[Giraldo] Psst.

[tense music peaks and fades]

-[Danger] You think this is a joke? -No, but I'm not gonna run away.

If I do, the company will be ruined.

-Understand we're at our-- -You need to see the risk you're taking.

It'd be wise if you could get yourself away from it all with Maya.

You can relax.

-I'll bring the two of you home-- -No. I won't hear any more of this.

Why are you always like that? [sighs]

Look, these people are gathering intelligence on Medusa.

They're professionals, okay?

[tense music playing]

They planned the attack on your brother,

which is also connected to your attack and what happened to Gabriel Chafir.

Maybe we should reinforce my protection measures then.

Should we hire more security? Install some cameras?

Do whatever you need to do to keep investigating.

But I refuse to run away or live in fear again, because I won't.

I know how difficult this is to wrap your head around.

I know how long you have dreamt of being the president, but--

I was chosen. A whole board decided.

I wasn't looking to take the place of my brother.

If you won't do this for yourself, or for me, do it for Maya.

[clicks tongue]

Are you doing this just to prove a point?

For what, to win a case against your dad? To keep Medusa afloat?

Will you risk your life for that? Will that make you happy?

Please, my love, everything's going to be fine.

It will.

I'll be careful. I swear. I promise you I will.

You have my word.

Don't you understand what I'm telling you? That you could be killed?

Of course you don't.

Danger!

Wait!

Just…

[melancholic music playing]

[melancholic music continues to play]

[exhales]

[cell phone notification]

[music fades]

Why does he think you're in trouble?

It's nothing, my love.

What matters is that we'll be protected.

Oh, no. We'll have bodyguards around?

Until I get out of Medusa, then we can go away for a bit.

But Mom, where would we even go? I have school, and Nina--

Look. All I'm saying is that we'll leave at some point.

Prepare yourself, so there's no drama later.

-My opinion doesn't count? -If it's not a good opinion, no.

You're as hungry for power as Grandpa.

You criticize him, but you're no different, are you?

Don't speak to me with that tone.

Maya!

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Yes, yes, doctor. I got them.

But I wanted to ask you a question.

What are the steps I need to take if I want to terminate the pregnancy?

Danger wants me to resign and leave the country immediately.

He found a letter from someone who was supposedly connected to Gabriel.

So he thinks I'm at risk.

And you don't think he's right, do you?

[sighs]

I refuse to feel intimidated about it.

I'll take precautions,

but I don't intend to live my whole life scared and paranoid.

That's no way to live.

-It's not. -Do you think Danger will stop asking?

-Bárbara, he loves you. -I love him too.

But he's acting strange.

Bárbara, usually you resolve things by talking it through.

You have to talk to Danger.

You have to tell him what you're feeling, and what you're thinking.

Then you'll find the right solution.

Thank you. For everything.

Don't worry about it.

[cell phone vibrates]

-Hello. -[Bárbara] My love.

I don't like fighting with you.

I don't either, my love, but you don't make it easy for me.

How's lunch at the club today?

I'd love to go to lunch with you. I miss you.

At the club?

Um…

Yeah, yeah, I'm down to do that.

And, um…

there's something that I would really like to tell you.

Ditto.

See you soon.

[sighs]

[Danger] Can you imagine us having a child?

That would be nice, right?

[sniffles]

[sobs]

[upbeat music playing]

[Nina] What's that?

It's the new Eternals product. It's called Guarahí.

Wanna try it?

All right.

What does it do?

Mm.

[both chuckle]

[Nina] Let's see.

[music fades]

[ambiance music playing in the restaurant]

I don't like arguing with you.

No, me neither.

But I have a great solution for that, and it's very easy.

You have to do everything I say. That's that.

We won't argue anymore. Never again.

You know that I love you with all my heart.

-But I'd like to-- -Oh shit. We were doing so well.

"You know that I love you with all of my heart."

But what?

My life also revolves around my work for Medusa and my family. That's all.

Man, you sure are stubborn.

I understand.

I've made sure the security team's ready to go.

There'll be people following you and Maya.

-That sounds good to me. -I'll be glued to your side.

We need to know who that crazy guy's partner was.

You said you had something to tell me too?

Just that you're the love of my life.

How about you?

[romantic music playing]

Ah!

NATIONAL PRISON SECURITY CENTER CARIBBEAN REGION

[Esteban] Hey, Milita. How's that information I gave you?

Danger Carmelo, current partner of Bárbara Hidalgo,

one of the richest women in the country,

was involved in the death of a fellow police officer

after connections with a crime syndicate were revealed.

What's all this? Hey, wait. I want to see.

Why? I don't even know why I turned it on. It's garbage.

[Adela] The attacks are underway.

Let's make this dumbass confront his shit,

so he can see what it's like to be with my wife.

Your ex-wife.

Sorry, old habit.

[Danger] They're using Saúl to fuck with me.

So what's gonna happen now?

The country will have some new gossip, and they'll forget all about you.

I have to go.

Let's hit them hard. Wait and see the bombshells we'll drop.

[car engine starts]

[suspenseful music playing]

[reporter] Are you leaving Carmelo after what you've learned?

Did you use your influence to keep the detective in the police?

Do me a favor. Ask serious questions.

Are you saying he hasn't committed any crimes?

Unofficial sources told us

that Esteban Arco, your ex-husband, has been released today.

[dramatic sting]

Pardon?

[Porras] What's up?

-Hey, bro. -Mm?

Did you hear Esteban's out of jail?

Yeah, I heard that.

He must have put up some serious dough to get out.

Apparently, he agreed to return all the money he stole from Medusa.

But how did Bárbara allow that to happen?

No idea.

I imagine she ended up negotiating with him because of Maya.

Maya is messed up about the whole thing happening with her dad.

Who knows what he might do now that he's out on the streets.

That son of a bitch.

I think that asshole is still a suspect for what happened to Bárbara.

Wait, then what if Esteban is actually Brito?

[eerie sting]

[Esteban] After so many years, you know my taste perfectly.

And do you know mine?

Some people can never be forgotten.

You like champagne, but your favorite is an Old Fashioned.

Always.

I know that crowds overwhelm you.

Sometimes you don't wear underwear.

You hate the heat, and you've always lived in Barranquilla,

which I never understood.

It's the coldest city in the world, if you can afford air conditioning.

You also like reggae, but you detest Bach.

Don't tell anyone, or I'll kill myself.

You like being on top.

And mostly you are a…

great friend,

who never forgot this poor guy.

And this poor guy won't screw me over just like he did with Bárbara, will you?

All I've ever wanted was a family.

That was my dream.

Anyway, after the attack on Bárbara, she…

made me believe that we could try to be a family again, together.

For Maya.

It's pure bullshit.

All she did was destroy me as if I were a nobody to her.

And don't forget, she brought a cop into your house.

And her personal life, I mean, I'm okay if it happens to appear on TV

or in 1,000 magazines.

-Okay? -Is that so?

You're jealous, aren't you?

No.

The only thing I wanted for the Hidalgos to know…

that I can also build an empire from scratch as well.

[tense music playing]

I want them to eat the same amount of shit that they buried me in.

Is that a clear enough answer for you?

[music fades]

Are you getting in?

Still thinking about your mom?

She's acting like she was before the accident.

What was she like?

Just cold, always stressed, and obsessive.

I finally felt like I got her back,

but I've lost her to that fucking presidency.

-Yeah, but you should tell her. -Yeah, right.

The only thing she cares about in this life is saving her company.

Come here.

Come.

-Careful. -[laughing]

[Danger] Gamboa got whacked for giving out contracts at random.

That's all it took.

The people who weren't getting their piece took him out. [chuckles]

Come check this out.

Take a look at who Gamboa's Arácnida contact was.

-Cristian Hidalgo. -[Porras] What's strange about that?

[Danger] The person at Medusa,

who's supposed to handle construction and real estate…

-[Porras] Úrsula! -It's Úrsula.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

Everything good?

I just have two questions to ask you about.

I know that you're busy, so I'll get to it.

Am I right in saying that you were the one in charge

of all the tenders won by Arácnida?

That's true.

Orders from my father.

Yeah, and what is your connection to Arnoldo Gamboa?

[chuckles softly]

Uh, none. Why?

I signed because my dad told me that the cushy position

he'd given Úrsula was too much for her.

-But I never met him personally. -Okay.

If you think I had anything to do with it, you should know you're not even warm.

I'm not thinking that, and don't misinterpret this.

My job is to ask people questions.

-That's all. -Mm-hmm.

How's the investigation going with the assassin?

We're still on it.

Ah, so you have jack shit, my friend.

I called everyone here to tell you something important.

If we don't want Medusa to go under and declare bankruptcy,

I'll have to reduce executive salaries.

-That's just applying a Band-Aid-- -No need to make hasty decisions, Bárbara.

I think it's a necessary sacrifice for the common good.

I'm glad you agree, as this will be the first of several reforms.

The sports department is now under Viviana.

No, that is my job. No one knows it like me.

It's the worst department we have.

I'm sorry. You can't just blame me. I'm here every day. I work hard.

Yet all you do is lounge around.

Whatever, my Führer. Where you plan to put me?

-Home. You're done at this company. -Bárbara, you can't do that!

-How could you? -[Jacobo] Tell her, Mom.

You should take over the sports sector and create the South American league

that your useless cousin was unable to.

-Could you do that? -You want me to screw him over then?

Since Camilo is no longer on the payroll, Cristian will take over his position.

-[Jaqueline] What? -What are you planning?

We have to save Medusa, and we have to start from the top.

But we have to play on the same side and be united, whether we like it or not.

Úrsula, your position as director of the construction sector

will be under evaluation for a month.

So you might want to aim higher, or I'll accept your resignation.

A lot of things can happen in a month.

Damián might even win the lawsuit.

I wouldn't waste time threatening me.

You'd be better off looking for strategies to keep your seat.

Esperanza will stay in the lab.

As for the foundations, Jaqueline--

You won't lower the donations, Bárbara?

No, they won't get lower. They're done with.

You know how serious that mistake could be, Bárbara?

Donating is a marvelous deed.

And it also helps reduce taxes. Please, Bárbara.

Yes, but the deficit is so significant that the reduction won't make it up.

-Okay? -[gasps]

-We'll continue with the union. -Mom, what's wrong?

[Viviana] Are you okay?

[dramatic music playing]

Here, drink this. Look at me. Snap out of it.

[Cristian] Get her out.

Paramedic! Look at what you've done, Bárbara!

[Cristian] Call an ambulance! We need an ambulance!

[Jacobo] Call a paramedic!

No kidding, Jackie almost fainted, and I nearly did too.

What's with your eldest kids, huh?

Cristian agreed with her on everything. Say something.

And what about Viviana?

Viviana's different. I'll tell her a few little things--

They'll realize they shouldn't have fucked with me.

Sir, there's someone here for you. Mr. Carmelo.

[eerie music plays]

I'm here to ask you about a few things for a case that we're investigating.

Arnoldo Gamboa.

It's my understanding that you knew him pretty well.

You're wrong. Our paths have crossed at a few social events.

I never even liked him.

He was known to be corrupt.

So let me ask you, um,

why'd you ask Cristian to be the one handling the tenders with Arácnida?

He was in charge of the legal aspects, and that's it. Investigate.

-There's nothing here to hide. -Be careful what you wish for.

Last time we investigated your family, it was you who left Medusa.

[eerie music continues]

If you're looking to blame someone for the death of Gamboa,

you're way off here.

You should be careful. Don't threaten me in this house.

You're mistaken. I'm not threatening you.

I'm investigating the truth.

But I will happily remind you,

you don't scare me at all.

And I promise you, we will find the truth.

Whatever that may be.

This isn't personal, Damián.

[music fades]

[Danger] What about Maya?

With Nina.

She spends all day with that girl.

How's your day, my love?

Good, just been busy with a new case I'm on.

What is it?

Um, it's confidential, sorry.

Police stuff and all that tight-lipped crap.

-I can try calling you back later. -Wait, wait.

What's the matter?

Nothing, everything's fine. You okay?

I'm fine. Were you thinking of spending the night at mine?

I'd love to, if you'd like.

[woman] Bárbara, ma'am, Jacqueline is here.

Okay, thanks.

Okay, see you later. I love you very much.

See you soon. Love you.

[Jaqueline] Sorry for showing up unannounced.

If you're here to argue about the same thing, it isn't the time.

I want you to give the role back to Jacobo.

There's not one thing Jacobo has done to deserve a seat.

Okay. He messed up. Give a slap on the wrist, and we move on.

Under my presidency, we won't give meritocracy a try.

He's part of the family, Bárbara.

He can't come back.

What about the foundations?

Our taxes will be better if we don't lose those.

That decision has been finalized as well.

Jacqueline, stop spoiling my cousin. This is going to help him grow up.

As for the foundations, you won't have any problems.

A lot of people know you.

I'm sure other companies would be delighted to support you.

I'm not done working yet. Excuse me while I finish for the day.

[loud kiss]

[tense music playing]

[music fades]

[Jacobo] Ah!

[ambiance music playing in the bar]

[Viviana] Are you going to blame me for my sister's decision?

[Jacobo] I'm dumb but not that dumb.

The two of you organized this plan together, didn't you?

You're drunk, aren't you?

Nope, but I'm close.

That’s unfortunate, 'cause I came here to make you an offer.

Oh, yeah?

Is it the same one as last time?

We're gonna make a product to compete with Eternals.

[suspenseful music playing]

I have access to the information about the mushrooms.

And the distributors, suppliers, and internal operations.

Okay, but we have to find someone who's going to be the perfect partner.

[Viviana] Exactly.

I mean, you're the expert in that.

Prove it.

[music fades]

After so many years of helping others,

in comes Bárbara to ruin everything that I've ever done.

You shouldn't worry about it. I know how we can avoid that.

Oh, really?

How do you suppose we do that?

Just trust me.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

Did you order more mushrooms to take from the mangrove?

We needed more for mass production.

What's the matter? We agreed to do them in tandem.

Mass production is not what we agreed to.

That has nothing to do with protecting the ecosystem.

I'm sorry if you misunderstood,

but I already explained to you that Eternals is my bet to save Medusa.

That includes the expansion too.

You told me we'd make an exclusive product when you convinced me to join you.

You said the product would conserve the ancestral and mythical nature of it,

and we'd protect the culture of those who grow it.

And I'm proud.

But you're going against that now.

You should be grateful I invited you to be part

of an opportunity that's bigger than your little rituals.

Know your place here.

Don't forget the contract you signed when we began.

If you break it, you'll see how your community will thank you.

[soft, dramatic music playing]

-[cell phone vibrating] -[music fades]

What's up, Caramelito?

Anything good from your shifty father-in-law?

[Danger] Not much, no.

I'm sure he has something to do with Gamboa's death in some way.

-Why? -I'll tell you when we see each other.

-Okay, see you soon. -I'm on my way.

[frightened sigh]

[Porras] What was that, man?

Hello?

[Danger panting]

-Hey, what the hell happened to you? -[exhales]

[Porras] Hello? Hello?

[car alarm beeping intermittently]

[eerie music playing]

[ominous laughter]

RESIGN

[ominous laughter continues]

[panting]

[eerie music continues]

[Danger] "Bárbara is both of them. That's why she must die."

[eerie music peaks and fades]

[Spanish song playing]
