[music peaks and fades]

I don't know if you truly realize or grasp

the extent of the situation you're in right now.

And the only way you're getting out of this

is by telling me exactly what happened.

Listen, I don't know anything.

Someone paid me to carry the case. That's it.

Uh-huh. Who gave it to you?

Not sure. The man was wearing a mask. I couldn't see him.

You better start giving me answers. Stop with all the fucking lies.

Or you won't get out of here.

Now tell me the truth.

I'm telling you the truth. Why would I lie to you?

The man was wearing a mask with snakes around his face.

Please let me go, man!

Where did he contact you?

Right in front of the church. I was just selling fish there.

-I'm a good person. Let me go. -What time?

I don't know, sometime around 3:00.

Okay, here's what we'll do.

Take your time here. Have a think on it.

In the meantime, I'll check the information you gave me.

And then we'll see if we can come to an understanding.

Guard!

[metal rattling]

There's another camera at the church entrance.

-Let me check if I can-- -Wait. Look, this one there.

Check that one's footage from 3:00 p.m.

There it is. Zoom in there.

[soft, tense music playing]

[keyboard tapping]

Look. He arrived 20 minutes earlier.

NATIONAL POLICE ATLÁNTICO SECTION

Stop it there.

I see, so you're the monster, you son of a bitch.

We're going to get you.

[cell phone chimes]

We're gonna get you.

I've gotta leave. Please check all the cameras in the area.

See if he got out of a taxi, a car, grab a license plate.

Anywhere we could see his face.

-Let's find this guy. -Okay, on it.

-[door shuts] -[music fades]

I've been thinking about what you said to me, and…

I agree with you.

I shouldn't get involved in absolutely anything to do with Maya.

-She's not my daughter, so-- -No.

You need to know I'm sorry for what I said. I apologize.

You have every right to have your own bond with Maya.

And I've seen you give her advice a few times,

and I'd love for her to have a positive male figure in her life.

I mean that.

I'm sorry.

Have you spoken to Maya since then?

No.

And it hurts.

I'd imagine that's hard. But listen, you'll find a way.

Hey, you never told me though. Why did you fight? What happened?

It had no effect on me and Nina.

It's clear you're back to being the crappy mom I had til the accident.

She left.

You don't have to tell me anything, don't worry.

She's in that stage of life. She's just a young woman.

She's a teenager, and they hate everything at that time.

You'd be an amazing father.

Really?

[soft, tense music playing]

I have to go to the restroom. Sorry. I'll be quick.

Okay.

Hello?

Are things so bad you can't even say hello to your father?

We got to that point because of your absurd lawsuit.

Frankly, I don't find it absurd to try to save you from this crazy quest

of trying to kick me out of my own God-damn company.

We can only hope that it'll be a fair process.

With no games.

All right. We do agree on something.

Whatever happens in that trial,

don't forget that we're family.

They're watching our every move.

You care more about all of the gossip in the papers

than the family that you pretend to love so deeply.

No, I don't care more.

They're the same.

-Ah. -And I'm not ashamed to say so.

Because the people who are watching us are the same ones who buy our products.

Thank you for the lesson.

I don't want to win this trial

and pick up all the pieces of a company

that you and your siblings have driven into the ground.

Seriously, you think I'll get caught up in your game of intimidation?

Things have changed.

I'm not that little girl you bossed around with my siblings and Mom.

And let's not forget Úrsula, who traded her soul for your money.

Go on, keep smiling. I don't believe you. You're up to something.

You're getting a bit old, Papa. And obsolete too.

And I'm gonna be ready for the fight.

So I'll see you at the trial.

[tense music swells]

[music turns eerie]

[music fades]

-How are you? -Great. Hi, Damián.

Ma'am.

Damián Hidalgo has no morals.

Bárbara, out of all the Hidalgos, is the absolute worst.

You won't believe who I just came across.

Yeah, I just saw him walk past.

What did he want?

To intimidate me.

But he managed the opposite.

Did you ever continue with your therapy? To help recover your memory?

No, it's been a while since I stopped.

Uh-uh, and why's that?

I'm very busy, and I'm focusing on Medusa.

That's my priority. That's why.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

-How are you this morning, beautiful? -We need to meet.

I spoke to the board and found out something to attack Bárbara on two fronts.

[tense sting]

Oh, okay. Tell me where and when.

Right now, at your apartment. And we'll spend some time, the two of us.

We can't meet at mine.

Why's that? What happened?

Maya is staying with me for a few nights, so…

I didn't know you were sharing custody.

No, it's just temporary.

She had a fight with her mom. I'm here. I'm having breakfast with her.

That ex of yours is unbearable. Even her own daughter can't stand her.

I completely agree.

Okay, finish breakfast, and come to my place right away.

Okay. Kisses.

Bye.

Oh, look at you, my beautiful baby girl. So gorgeous.

[Maya] Aw!

I've been making a list…

Hm-hmm.

…of all the women who have been working at Medusa between 1990 and 1995.

At least the ones I remember.

And I cross-referenced them with the payroll lists I've held onto.

Oh wow, Esperanza. Amazing work.

You're meant to be a detective.

Well, let's start looking for them then.

Don't you have access to some kind of archive

where we can find their names and addresses?

Well, it's not that easy.

If any of them have a criminal record, then we'll see their information.

But if not, we won't.

Okay, Danger. I mean, that's a start.

And in the meantime, you can help us by searching their names on social media.

Start with the women who have the most unique names.

They should be the easiest to find.

Mm. Okay, that's perfect.

[suspenseful music playing]

What do you mean? You say that Guarahí turned those kids into addicts?

What? Are you surprised?

No, no, it's just that, you know, Bárbara was pretty meticulous, very…

disciplined with the trials and the tests, and they didn't show any of that.

It appears more tests were needed, and the consequences were tragic.

-That is tragic. -We're going to release the news tomorrow.

The idea is that we drop the bombshell, and we amplify the scandal with the bots.

Great. Great, that's perfect. Very good.

-What's up with you? -Nothing.

You're backing out.

-What are you suggesting? -You got "Barbaritis"?

[laughing] No. Hey, seriously? She can eat shit for all I care.

Listen, the battles are won by attacking first.

Totally.

And whose idea was this in the first place?

Who? Let's be merciless, no survivors. They're all gonna be screwed.

That's how I like it.

Merciless.

COACH DANIEL I STOPPED PRETENDING NOTHING HAPPENED

-Hey, Mom. -Honey, hi.

-Are you busy? -No. It's great to see you at the club.

It's good to be seen, make friends, socialize--

Mom, I really have to talk to you.

I need to know what you think about the proposal Dad made me.

Honey, Damián is pretty furious with you right now, and your siblings.

Do you think he'll help you out after you turned your back on him?

He came back to you and you did the same thing.

Don't forget there are years of history between me and Damián.

It's very hard to separate.

You're the only person I care about, and it'd kill me to see you get hurt.

Vivi.

The only thing I want in this life is to see you happy.

That's my only goal.

That's all I needed to hear. Thank you.

[somber music playing]

[music fades]

[cell phone ringing]

Esperanza, hi.

Danger, I found several of the women I mentioned, who used to work for Medusa.

I invited them to come meet me at the nursery tomorrow.

All I told them was

that they'd be giving a statement regarding their employment at Medusa.

That's it.

Can you please come to the nursery to question them?

We have to get at least some of these women to agree to sue Damián.

I see. I'll be there.

Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

MEDUSA CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY

[Rómulo] We are all united against the Eternals product line.

Long story short, they're selling a mushroom they call Guarahí

that turned our children into drug addicts.

That was the starting point,

and now all our children are starting to use stronger drugs.

Imagine, now they're called "industrial drugs."

This is the new demon of our society.

[Dora] And it's all because of that mushroom.

CLIENT LIST

[keyboard typing]

[notification tone]

[Viviana] Bárbara.

-What are you doing here? -I was looking for you.

The meeting we're having isn't here.

-It's not here? -No. Let's go.

[suspenseful music playing]

How did it go with those capitalist priests?

Almost all the churches that are with the foundation

accepted the proposal I made to transform ourselves

into a non-profit and independent.

How would that work?

Well, now we'd raise the funds ourselves,

and we wouldn't have to deal with any investors.

How come?

We'll make our members believe that we switched partners.

We don't work with Medusa,

but with Ultrafaith.

A new front company that I just created. You're welcome.

Where are we supposed to get the money?

That would come from your husband, as compensation for staying with him.

He either pays, or we make sure he feels it.

Oh, I love it.

Where are we at with the other thing?

I meant to ask, are we still going ahead with what we agreed?

Of course, like we agreed.

Wait a second. Wait a sec. [sighs]

What's up? What happened now? What's the rush? I was playing tennis.

You haven't seen the news today? They've been attacking us again!

Oh, no. Please don't say that.

Let's go.

Hey, I have to go to the meeting.

-I'll call you later. -Are you coming?

I have to go.

Love you.

You may think I'm a bit intense, but you got me, bad.

I'm dying here.

Call me, please.

[suspenseful music playing]

Oh, yeah, he's crazy about me. Yeah.

Well, you tell me what's next,

but first, you need to pay me what we agreed.

Okay.

"Barranquilla News" belongs to the Lemaitres, and we're aware of that.

I think you need to show face,

talk to the media, explain what's going on.

-We could also sue for defamation. -I disagree.

-When do you ever agree with anything? -When I agree with what you say.

We shouldn't care about that gossip.

You're right. It's just gossip.

Made-up garbage is all.

People are already badmouthing the company, and that will affect us.

Hey, how can you sell a product that harms us?

Man, screw that, I'll say it from the heart.

Let's get that fucking product off the market. Let's hear it!

-[woman] Yes! -Get it off!

[Fermina] So-called natural drugs, guys.

They're a bunch of asshole rich dudes who're fucking up our brains!

Wake up! Come on, guys! This is bullshit!

We're all here at Caimán del Río, because that Guarahí product is bullshit!

Let's hear it, people! Let's show them!

To all the people at Medusa, go fuck yourself, you assholes!

It'll be easy to stop these attacks.

We just have to demonstrate the components of our products

are natural with no side effects. That's it.

There are protestors at several locations where they sell our products.

So, there's no doubt sales will be affected,

even if there's no valid reason.

[music turns tense]

[crowd murmuring]

-Bárbara, were those tests completed? -Of course they were.

ETERNALS

[music peaks and fades]

Didn't you quit? Why are you here?

-I came because your mom asked me to. -What for?

After the scandal, she asked me to help you review the test results.

It's a campaign financed by the Lemaitres.

-Any proof of that? -No, but I know Adela and her people.

That's who they are. I'd have done the same.

-Do you hear yourself? -Whose side are you on?

I'm on the side of the people who protect you,

The people we made the products for.

The people that you should be protecting.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

Are you leaving, or shall I call security?

-Throw me out then. -Goodbye.

[eerie music playing]

[jungle animal calls]

[gunshot]

[music turns dramatic]

[music fades]

-[Esteban] Nice, huh. -[Jacobo] It's okay.

-I like it. -And the production has already started.

[Jacobo] I'd hope so.

All of this is thanks to you, Vivi.

I know.

Oh, yeah, and my PR, right?

I'm gonna bring celebrities, influencers, VIP only.

[Viviana] We should send free samples to our future clients.

That way, we'll start to create expectation.

And when we launch, Bárbara won't realize what hit her.

All right. I'm really liking the new Vivi.

I guess you got the genes from your sister, the psycho killer.

You think?

That's a wonderful idea.

I love it.

Seriously.

You did a great job.

-You like it? -[Viviana] Hm-hmm.

[Esperanza] All right, thank you all for coming.

It's been difficult finding you, but, hello, here you are.

I do remember you very well, Esperanza.

-Really? -You've always been so kind and elegant.

But tell us, why did you call us here?

I mean, apart from the money you promised.

I want to introduce you all Detective Danger Carmelo,

who will help me try to explain what this is all about.

[Danger] Pleasure to meet you all.

As Esperanza just mentioned to you this is a complex matter,

and it's probably better to get straight to the point.

We know that you were subjected, uh, to workplace harassment,

some of it sexual, by a few Medusa executives in the '90s.

That's why we're here today.

We don't want this to go unpunished.

I'm sorry. I apologize, but I don't want to talk about it.

I understand you're afraid.

We know that Medusa is a big company, and it's powerful.

But that's why we're here.

I'm here to make sure you're protected, and to be with you in the process.

Uh-huh.

Tell me how do you propose we face that monster

if we don't have any proof of what happened to us back then?

Exactly. It would turn into an absolute bloodbath.

And this was so many years ago.

Why should we relive this trauma? Hm?

[sighs] We get it. It's not easy,

but you have to be brave,

and we have to seek justice.

At least for me,

I want to forget all that torment.

[dramatic music playing]

[Damián] Hey, you.

Mm?

[menacing music plays]

-[woman grunts softly] -Shh.

I know you love it.

Stop. Please.

No.

That's it!

Please. Please, no.

[Esperanza] Lorena.

Lorena.

Is there anything you would like to say?

No, I'm good.

I'll choose my peace of mind.

You know, I don't want to see either of their faces,

neither Damián,

nor that devil Camilo Hidalgo ever again in my life.

[tense music playing]

-[Lucero] Let's get out of here. -[Lorena] I'm not sure, sorry.

-[woman] Thank you. -[woman 2] Have a good evening.

Thank you for coming.

They just need some time.

[Esperanza] Damián needs to pay.

We need evidence, and we don't have any.

[music fades]

I won't back down.

Listen, in all the years I've been doing this,

I've learned to recognize when, you know, my path ends up at a dead end, understand?

-And this is a dead end. -So I give up?

There's not much we can do if they don't speak up, huh?

And without any evidence,

I don't know, maybe you're playing with fire.

Perhaps the best thing to do is what you told Bárbara you'd do.

-You promised you wouldn't pursue it. -No, no, I refuse.

If you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for her.

For your two kids. For Bárbara and Cristian.

Do you know how much they suffered when this asshole took you from them?

There are other ways to bring him down. We're working on it.

Bárbara is as well.

We need to be patient.

Thanks for your time and for helping me.

-I'm here if you need me, really, anytime. -Thanks again.

The guy was already in a costume

and got out of the taxi wearing the Medusa mask.

Mmm. And the license plates?

Unfortunately, those don't show on the camera.

How did things go with Gunter Pimiento?

He's asking for money.

He says he's been gathering evidence against the Hidalgos.

How are you feeling with all that shit going on?

Fucked.

But I don't want to jump to conclusions with Bárbara or anyone else

until he shows up with solid evidence.

Okay, brother, I'll keep looking for clues from the security cameras.

Okay. See you.

-Take care. -All right, man, catch you later.

What's up?

Did you get the evidence I asked you to check?

[cell phone chiming]

In other news, businesswoman Bárbara Hidalgo

will give a public press conference for the media and the general public,

tomorrow morning, in front of the entrance to the vast Medusa conglomerate.

We'll cover--

YOU SHUT HER UP OR I WILL, SON OF A BITCH. BRITO

-[suspenseful music playing] -[Danger] Have you gone crazy?

Can you explain what you're thinking? A press conference? Right now?

Do you know how risky that is?

There's a sniper out there who killed two innocent people.

We're up against a madman worse than Gabriel Chafir.

-Do you hear me? -You better stop mentioning Gabriel!

To solve this whole situation,

the only thing you have to do is resign from Medusa.

That's the solution!

No, it's for you and the police to do your job and catch this asshole!

Are you saying this is my fault now?

Do you think I spend all day sitting around doing nothing?

Do you know what I do?

I spend all day thinking on all the ways to keep you safe,

so nothing happens to you!

Of course, the ideal scenario is to catch that guy.

And we will, but I need to catch him while you're still alive! Damn it!

I'm sorry for talking to you like that.

But I can't resign.

That's not the solution. We have to stick together, honey.

That way we're stronger, and we protect each other.

What I told you still stands.

I'll save Medusa, win the trial, and I'm done. I'll step down.

What do you want me to say?

I've already told you. You know what I think.

But you're more stubborn than a mule.

Look, the only thing you're right about is that we have to stick together.

I need you to promise me you'll look after yourself.

I promise you.

It's just--

-I love you. -I don't want anything to happen to you.

[poignant music plays]

[music fades]

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Hello, Esperanza. It's Lorena.

Uh, listen,

I won't be able to talk, but I know someone who probably will.

Thank you so much for letting me know. Who is it?

A friend who worked as a secretary at Medusa.

She talked to me about the abuse from Damián and Camilo Hidalgo.

Her name is Matilde.

And where can I find her?

Uh, well, I don't know her address, but she has a son.

His name is Diógenes Piña.

Diógenes

Piña.

-[Latin music playing] -Come on! Hey!

Here it is, okay? Hydration for the athletes.

My man!

Oh, he won!

Motherfucker! He's driving him crazy. Look at that!

I'll put them on your tab. Two for you, buddy. Yeah? Thanks, man.

-Look at that, mami! -[woman] Ah!

[both cheer, chuckle]

[music ends]

Maya, answer me. Please, don't do this.

These things don't get solved by avoiding them.

You're the most important thing in my life, and it hurts me…

We're ready.

[tense music playing]

-Give me ten minutes. -Hm-hmm.

[Bárbara] Maya, answer me. Please, don't do this.

Things don't get solved by avoiding them.

You're the most important thing in my life, and it hurts me…

What are you up to, honey?

Listening to bullshit messages from Mom, who doesn't even have time to be a mom.

Don't let this affect you, sweetheart.

[sighs deeply]

Come here. Come on.

It doesn't do us any good to be resentful, honey.

-She's your mother. -I know.

Even if she's acting cool now, I can't forget how bad she was.

My love, you and I both know that your mom is ridiculous to deal with.

We can't change that.

What worries me is how she's been acting lately.

I don't know what it might lead to.

It worries me.

What actions will you take now that you're being sued by your father

and also the relatives of the Eternals' victims?

You mean to say the alleged victims?

First, it must be proven in court that their allegations are legitimate.

But I can assure you right now that they are not true whatsoever.

We are working to finalize a science-backed response,

which will clarify that our Eternals line

has really been a tremendous help to thousands of people.

So the attacks on your products are fabricated?

Absolutely false.

Those liars will be facing a lawsuit from our company,

because they can't just say whatever they want without consequences.

Thank you. That'll be all for now.

-[reporters speak indistinctly] -[dramatic music playing]

[music ends]

Look at Elías. He thinks he's so smart, but he always ends up losing!

Send him to the champions' table, so they can teach his ass! [laughs]

-Hello! -[Diógenes] Thirty-three.

No way. You're out of your mind. Huh?

-What's up? -Hello. Hi there. How are you?

Can I offer you a drink? A beer, some water?

No, that's ok.

-Are you looking for the park? -That's not why I'm here.

Actually, I'm looking for Mr. Diógenes Piña.

Ah. And may I ask who is asking?

My name is Esperanza.

-But what do you need him for? -I'm a friend of Matilde, his mother.

A friend of my mom?

You're Diógenes Piña?

Yeah, that's me, the man himself. Yeah.

I had no idea that my mom knew, wow, such elegant ladies.

But my mom's friends will always be welcome here.

-So please, come in, have a seat. -Thanks.

I'll take care of a table, and I'll be with you.

Wait for me at the bar.

Of course, I'll wait there.

-On my way. I'll be right over. -Thank you.

Okay. Tuly!

[mouthing] Who's this?

-Hi there. How are you? -Hello. Great, thanks.

-Would you like something? -No, no. Thanks.

No problem.

[Esperanza] Well, I just wanted to ask you…

You've heard of Medusa, right? It's a massive conglomerate.

Of course, who hasn't heard of that monster? Yeah.

My mom worked there.

-Is that where you met her? -Yes, exactly.

I see. They were keeping her like a slave for years.

-You know how these people are. -Mhm.

Did Matilde ever tell you about…

everything that happened there?

What happened there? No, she didn't. Tell me. Tell me.

It's just, um…

At Medusa…

there were several sexual abuse cases.

-Really? -That involved female employees.

-Really? -Yeah.

Uh, I know that Matilde…

was one of the victims.

[tense sting]

Uh… No, I had no idea.

-This is a big deal then. -Yes.

Yes, that's why I'm gathering statements, so the guilty parties pay.

Totally, totally, as they should.

Well, the only problem, Esperanza, what can I say…

I'm sorry to say, you're late here, because my mom is already up in heaven.

Oh no, don't tell me that.

Yeah, you didn't know?

No, I didn't. My condolences. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, well she's gone. Rest in peace. My mom is gone now.

So, tell me, when did this abuse start to happen?

Well, I would say…

Um, yeah, sometime around the early '90s.

No shit!

So, I could be the son of one of those assholes. Huh?

[tense music playing]

I don't understand.

What are you trying to say?

Well, my mom…

never told me exactly who my father was.

She didn't.

All I know is that he's a man my mother worked for.

And he made her suffer a lot.

'Cause my mom, you know, well,

she suffered like crazy. Uh-huh.

I never imagined it was something like that.

This is so fucked up!

I'm sorry. I am. It's just…

[music peaks and then fades]

[cell phone ringing]

-[Bárbara] Hello. -Hey, honey, how are you?

-Are you heading home? -I'm on my way, and how are you?

Fine. I'm still at the office.

Are you at Medusa?

I need you to get in a car as soon as possible.

I'm walking towards the parking lot.

Honey, I want to talk to you.

-Okay. Tell me. -No, no, at the house.

But what's the mystery? Just tell me. Don't sugarcoat it. Talk to me.

I'd prefer in person. Let's cuddle up, and maybe have a drink?

Whatever you say. Sounds good to me. See you at home.

-Hey, you know I love you. -I love you.

[gunshot]

[Danger] Bárbara!

-Bárbara! My love! -[policeman] Cover her!

Rodríguez! We got a five-nine.

-[police siren wailing] -[tense music playing]

[Danger] What happened? Hey, my love!

Bárbara!

Bárbara!
