"WHAT YOU DENY SUBMITS YOU."

"WHAT YOU ACCEPT TRANSFORMS YOU." CARL JUNG.

[faint jungle animal calls]

[music fades]

-[Danger] How is she, doctor? -She's stable now.

She was hit in the shoulder blade.

She has asked me not to say anything about the attack.

-She doesn't want the media to find out. -I appreciate it.

I have some more good news for you. What happened didn't affect her pregnancy.

So congratulations, detective.

You can see her now.

[soft dramatic music plays, then fades gradually]

[Danger sighs]

How are you?

[hospital monitor beeps]

Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant?

That's what I was going to tell you about when I saw you.

I…

I don't want this child.

[dramatic music playing]

Excuse me? Wait, wait…

You don't wanna have a child with me?

It's a risk I don't want to take.

-A risk? -Mm-hmm.

There are lots of women much older than you who have babies.

They have children, and they're safe.

Do you truly want to bring a baby into this world?

Yeah. We're adults. We're in a good place.

The two of us could actually be good parents.

-We're talking about a life here. -Yeah.

A life.

I need you to understand my side of this.

I don't think I can raise another child.

I did that a long time ago, and now my daughter's all grown up.

Let's just focus on us.

Just us two.

On this beautiful thing we've built.

I'm just in a different place right now.

All I want is to be able to share that with you and Maya.

So you've already made up your mind.

-No! -Yeah, that's how it seems.

I swear I haven't.

No. I swear.

I'd have liked to have been involved in this decision.

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

Danger. How's my daughter?

She seems to be stable now.

Where the hell were the bodyguards?

Well, she was shot by a sniper, so…

And the baby?

Of course you knew about that.

-Danger… -You weren't going to tell me either?

Or did you want me to find out from the newspapers?

-Sorry. It wasn't my place to tell you. -Excuse me.

-[cell phone vibrates] -[Danger] Hey, man.

[Porras] What's up, bro? How's Bárbara?

-The worst is over. -That's great. I'm glad to hear.

You better get your pale ass in here right away.

I caught the motherfucker who shot her on camera.

-I'll head back now. -Great. Okay.

Wait for me.

I'm sorry, but I have to go. Call if you need anything, okay?

-Look after her, please. -Hm-hmm.

[tense sting]

[Danger] This motherfucker never takes off his mask.

We'd better let the media outlets know that we have this video.

We need the public on our side,

so we can find out who this fucking monster is

and put an end to this.

I'm positive that's the same man who killed those people.

Yeah, absolutely, bro, but calm down a little.

Now I have to speak to the Coronel to make this all happen.

We'll have to make it a big scene.

'Cause of Bárbara?

You better watch yourself, Porras.

Watch your mouth. Ugh.

Jeez. You need to relax.

[Esperanza] I was talking to Danger outside.

Well, don't worry.

-You can discuss it when you get home. -No, Mom, there's nothing to talk about.

I won't have it.

No.

[knocking at the door]

Hi, come in.

Aw!

[Bárbara] Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I wanted to tell you I'm thinking twice about mass production.

That would be for the best.

That's not why I've come to see you.

I didn't come to argue with you.

You don't believe me?

I wish I could say I did, Bárbara.

Well, I promise.

As soon as the lawsuit is over with my dad, I promise you, I'll resign.

I think that's a smart decision.

But this has to stay between the three of us.

Sounds good, Bárbara.

I'm also glad to know that you're able to let go of your ego.

-I'm glad nothing worse happened. -Do you both realize what I'm saying?

It was me first. Now it's Bárbara. This is against the company.

I spoke with the attorneys,

so the presidency is temporarily in the hands of the partners,

and there's no visible representative, not you, not Vivi, not me, none of us.

No one can stop me from working. I'm going to stay in charge.

Hey, Bárbara, this is serious. You could be murdered, all right?

Yeah, it could happen again.

Hey, I only called you to talk about Dad's lawsuit, okay?

What happened? Any news for us?

Nothing from a legal perspective, but it's key for us to remain united.

He knows we still have our differences, and that's where he can interfere.

He'll cause trouble.

You can count on me for anything, Bárbara.

-Bárbara, ma'am? -Yes?

Danger is here.

[Bárbara] I should've told you as soon as I found out.

I suppose you haven't changed your mind, have you?

You should've told me when you found out.

I'm so sorry.

I've been thinking nonstop about you. Believe me.

But I keep coming to the same conclusion that I…

That I really don't want to be a mom again.

[poignant music playing]

I just don't feel capable of starting all over.

-It's okay. -[sighs]

I know I have to respect your decision, whatever it is.

But I would've really liked to start a family with you.

Danger, we are a family.

-No, we aren't a family. -Yes.

My family includes you.

With Maya, the three of us.

You two are my family.

I want you in my life, Danger.

I can't imagine life without you.

You're the love of my life.

I love you.

I love you with all my heart.

[music fades]

You've gone insane.

'Cause I know what I'm entitled to get?

All my funds are tied up. They're impossible to access, you know.

Mm. I knew you'd come up with a lousy excuse like that.

I've taken the liberty to list the two apartments at the golf course.

No shit.

Without my consent, you'll get nothing.

I've got a few buyers already, Camilo.

[scoffs] I won't sign a damn thing for you, so deal with that.

[dramatic sting]

Then I think this marriage is over. Let's end this damn facade.

Explain that yourself to Damián.

[sink water running]

[music turns suspenseful]

Did you talk to your husband?

God, Fabi.

What a terrible way to kill such a sexy moment. How rude.

I know.

The problem is this stuff is important.

Don't worry. We talked.

And of course you can count on that money.

All of it?

[Jaqueline moans]

[Damián] Where the hell's your wife?

-I'm not sure. I'd guess she's atoning. -[Úrsula] It's about to start.

THE COLOMBIAN EXEMPLARY

Today, in The Colombian Exemplary feature, we will be doing a special focus

on pioneer Damián Hidalgo.

Damián is the groundbreaking businessman with a forward-thinking vision,

who founded one of the most successful companies Columbia has ever seen.

In addition, his company holds the record

for having the largest workforce in the country,

employing more people than any other organization.

Medusa is a world force in bringing different companies together.

This powerful conglomerate is leading research, development,

and progress for you and for the country.

Damián has always been family-focused. He's a big family man.

He also loves to involve his own children in the family business.

Unfortunately though, those choices have not yielded good results.

But as Damián says himself…

My children have failed.

Their lack of experience and complete arrogance has led them

to make bad decisions that affect everyone,

decisions that have compromised Medusa's stability.

That's why, with much regret,

I've made the hard decision to sue my own family.

-I will not allow… -What a complete asshole.

…my own hard work throughout my life to sink to the bottom of the ocean.

So, if I may…

I'm sorry, but I can't keep watching this shit. Ugh!

[dramatic music playing]

-He's awful. -Hm.

I refuse to let him win.

He has to pay the price for all that he's done.

He's going to, Mom. Okay?

I assure you.

[Tuly] Babe, are you seeing this shit? Your dad's trying to play the victim.

Look at the guy. He's freaking out.

-Yeah. -He does it to look good for the trial.

You need to be aware of this, so you can see what a liar he is.

Those families are just like that.

Oh, hey, look! Esperanza! Hey!

-[Esperanza] How are you? -Take a seat. Make yourself at home.

-Thanks. -Wait. Let me clean this up for you.

-A bunch of losers was just sitting here. -[laughing]

Take a seat. Yep.

-Thank you. -What can I get for you? Water, beer?

-No, no. A beer at this hour? No, no. -It's never too early to have beer.

Babe, can you bring us two beers, please, and a glass for the lovely Esperanza?

-Yes. -[Esperanza] Thank you.

So good to see you.

Your mom would be proud to see the man you are. Hm-hmm.

Because you clearly have your mother's generous heart.

Oh, I wish. I mean, she was honestly one of a kind.

Okay, while we're waiting, talk to me.

Diógenes…

would you be willing to have a DNA sample tested

to find out if you are Damián's son?

[suspenseful music playing]

[Danger] No fucking way.

Well, that's a major plot twist.

Danger, not a word of this to anybody.

If Damián finds out that Diógenes exists, his life will be at risk.

You're right.

If that man is truly capable of screwing over all of his own kids,

can you imagine what he'd do to him?

Can you promise that you won't tell Bárbara or Cristian? Please?

I'll keep quiet.

If you don't want them to know, it's already… forgotten.

Okay.

Danger…

people think

that women should be happy about having a child,

or even at the thought of pregnancy.

Some of us don't have that maternal instinct.

But it's not because of their partner. It's nothing to do with that.

Some women don't feel the desire to be a mother.

Did it happen to you

when you were gonna have Bárbara or Cristian?

No. No.

At the time, well…

I didn't even know that was an option.

Hypothetically, tell me what you would have done.

If you'd had the option,

would you have done it?

Well, the truth is, honestly…

I can't imagine my life without my children.

I can't. And I would think it's the same for Bárbara…

because she has Maya.

But we're not talking about that. Okay? This is different, Danger.

It is. She's different now. Because she knows what she wants.

It's the same old dance.

You still didn't answer my question.

Well, some questions don't have a simple answer.

Mm?

Let me know when the results arrive, okay?

I will.

-[Fabián] I have something. -[Jaqueline] What?

[Fabián] Something that can help reduce your stress. Yeah?

[both giggle]

I need a word with the lady of the house.

I'll take care of it. Don't go anywhere.

[Camilo] Well, fuck me. [scoffs]

From rosaries to that asshole?

Camilo, you have absolutely no right to complain about what I get up to.

-Take this as a warning then. -Thanks.

What happens when Damián finds out?

What happens if the public gets hold of this information?

This charade of a marriage will be over, and we're screwed.

Understand? No more facade.

Jacqueline the saint, the unblemished, savior of the people,

there'll be none of that.

You weren't aware, were you? Of course you're not!

I appreciate the simple acknowledgment of my image for once.

I know you don't trust what I have to say.

I, uh…

Sorry for that, I feel really terrible.

I feel awful for having made you suffer through that.

[tense music playing]

Take care of yourself.

And take good care of Jacobo.

The documents have all been signed for the apartments.

This is unbelievable! Nothing but insulting lies!

They only told half of the story.

The part where Damián Hidalgo is the perfect business guru.

But they left out that he's a bully.

He was an abuser, and a harasser,

who traumatized his own kids and took away their mother.

They won't show that.

You have no idea what my childhood was like.

Hey, sounds like you need to talk about it.

Come on.

Come.

Come on.

[Cristian] Well, Bárbara became just like him after my mom disappeared.

They were a team.

I wasn't included.

I was the weak one,

the one who was a waste of space, the good-for-nothing one.

You were a child.

[somber music playing]

But when I look back, I just needed my mother.

Well, look at it this way.

You finally have her back,

and things are good with Bárbara.

Yeah, but also, you know that I still don't trust Bárbara fully.

Even if she did pull off a favor.

-You don't? -Well, she took the presidency.

That took a great weight off my shoulders, only to betray me with the board.

That's why I'm going to wait for Bárbara to save Medusa,

and then Danger can catch the killer,

and then I'll go in for what's mine.

All I have to do is wait for Bárbara to resolve the debts,

the problems, the whole shitshow at Medusa,

and then I'll come in.

But your sister promised to resign once everything was sorted at Medusa.

I don't believe a word she says. How could you?

She doesn't know that I can play dirty too.

How about a jacuzzi?

[sensual music playing]

-[Cristian] Let me get it ready. -[chuckles]

Don't make it too hot!

[both chuckle]

[music turns tense]

I own this guy now. Let's take the next step.

[music fades]

[car door shuts]

-Hey, Gunter. -Thank you very much for the transfer.

-I wanted to-- -[gunshot]

[people shouting]

Take cover!

Get down!

[tense music playing]

-[car horn honks] -[tires screech]

-[gunshots] -That bastard.

Go after that car!

[ringing tone]

It's Danger. We've got a situation here. There's been an attack at the Shark Fin.

The suspect is in a blue car and is on the go.

I request reinforcements and an ambulance now! It's urgent!

Come on! Get out of here!

[tense music swells]

[music fades]

Bro, look.

I've got the images of the parking lot security camera caught here.

[Danger] That motherfucker's wearing that mask again!

[gunshots from video]

And Gunter didn't even get to tell me anything.

He was shot before he got it out.

And because he was so paranoid,

I doubt anybody knows where he's stashed the evidence.

Now more than ever, we need to get that evidence

and find out what's happening with the Gamboa case

and iron that shit out.

And don't say anything about this to Bárbara.

[tense music playing]

In the meantime, investigate all of the cameras you find in the city.

Follow that car and see where it takes us. Find that guy's whereabouts.

-Let me know if you find anything. -All right.

[tense music fades]

-[eerie music playing] -[sinister laughters]

[jungle animal calls]

[eerie music continues to play]

[shouting] Stupid bitch!

[shout fades]

[door creaks open]

Hey, it's time.

[melodic music playing]

Thank you for being here.

I'm not going anywhere.

[gavel bangs]

[Damián] What you have there in your hands, Your Honor,

are the last quarter's balance sheets for the conglomerate

that I had led for 26 years.

Today, I too have to acknowledge that those figures

are the clear result of the negligent management

of my children, who are all present here today.

These kids are throwing hard work away,

and not just throwing away my own work,

but the hard work of hundreds of local families,

who are depending on this company.

Your Honor, I would like to refer to a specific clause.

The one indicating that should the figures reach the percentages that they have,

the CEO, who has historically demonstrated

the greatest stability in their leadership,

may be automatically reelected.

And that would be me, Your Honor.

That is all. Thank you very much.

[dramatic music playing]

Mr. Hidalgo makes a rather melodramatic point,

but for those of us who know how a business conglomerate operates,

it is perfectly normal.

The financial adversity will pass.

What cannot be dismissed is the board's decision

to declare Mr. Hidalgo persona non grata in the company.

[Cepeda] I'll hand these out.

These are the official declarations from the president of the shareholders,

the head of the union, and last but not least,

Medusa's strategic ally in Asia.

These three are all in agreement

that Damián Hidalgo returning to Medusa would only jeopardize their interests.

The Asian partner has also stated that a decision has already been made

to end the pact they have with Medusa if Mr. Hidalgo resumes the presidency.

All of us agreed,

and we voted that Mr. Hidalgo should not return to Medusa

since his presence jeopardizes

an alliance that would harm the conglomerate's economic stability.

You made that rule yourself, but you seem to have forgotten about it.

This raises further concerns,

as someone who is lacking their full mental capacity

should not continue to be in charge of an empire

that many families depend on for their livelihood.

-Thank you. That's all. -[Damián] We'll object to it all.

They won't believe her.

[music turns suspenseful]

[gavel bangs]

[reporter] Mr. Hidalgo, what do you have to say to the court?

Will you lose your personal assets due to the indemnity?

How do you feel about losing the company you worked hard to create?

[reporter 2] Time to step back?

How does it feel to be cut off from the empire you built?

[music intensifies]

[newsreader] Medusa, headed by Bárbara Hidalgo, has won the case against Damián Hidalgo,

her father and founder of the company.

In the end, Damián Hidalgo will have to pay millions in compensation

for the damages caused all to the same company he created.

Cepeda, thanks.

-Congratulations. -It went very well.

-Bravo. You beat Dad, congrats. -You're a champion!

You can't speak to the press or talk to anyone.

I'm gonna manage every word and report published by the media

in which the conglomerate is the owner or majority shareholder.

It's very delicate.

You need to be careful. We could lose credibility.

We'd gain power, Cristian.

-You're overstepping a bit. -I'm being a leader. That's all.

We know how Dad's mind works and that he's capable.

He'll hit back at us, and he won't stop.

As soon as I turn the ship around,

I'll give it back to you, so you do what you want.

-Don't count on me for that. -Mm?

I'm telling you, Bárbara.

You're the only one who can manage all of that, so think carefully.

[Cristian] Am I invisible, or what?

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[door buzzes]

[Bárbara] Elu!

Have you heard?

-Uh-huh! -We won.

[Eluney chuckles]

I did, yeah!

-I just can't believe it. -And how does it feel to be free?

-Excuse me? -Your freedom.

-You told me you were going to resign. -No, I can't go right now.

That's impossible. Look…

Look at the shares, our figures, all the sales, just look!

Absolutely incredible.

I think I wanna send my dad a nice little thank-you present!

I haven't won this war yet. When I have, I'll resign for you.

Even you know that's a lie. I knew this would happen.

Please, Elu.

You know,

I don't want to see you ever again.

[dramatic sting]

GUARAHÍ IS A THREAT

This was a gateway drug to addiction.

My only son died of an overdose.

[somber music playing]

And that's why I'm denouncing Eternals.

My son's dead 'cause of you.

[Esteban] Oof!

We've got an absolute godsend.

This is seriously a perfect opportunity to fuck with Bárbara.

[Viviana] Mm.

Esteban, that lady is just saying

that it was other drugs that killed her son.

He died because of Eternals, my dear.

Eternals was the gateway drug to other drugs that are worse.

-I fucking love that, man. -All right.

I'm gonna suggest to Adela that we launch Benefiscience now.

-It's happening. -[Esteban] Let's get to work.

Sure, but first, why don't we play some golf? Nine holes?

Yeah, sure. I always think better on the green.

I'll get you in. You're not a member anymore, right?

[somber music continues to play]

NIRCA HINESTROZA ACCUSES ETERNALS: GUARAHÍ IS A THREAT

[somber music fades]

All right, cheers, bro. Cheers, man, to, uh…

Cheers, man.

[Spanish song playing in the bar]

-Yeah. -So what's up, bro?

Why do you look so down, man? What's wrong with you today?

What's wrong with me?

Everything's so messed up right now.

I just feel completely out of place here, man.

Mm. [laughs]

Nah, relax, you're all good, man.

That's life, you know?

You always taught me

that I should be looking at my life like the glass is half-full,

not half-empty.

Look, I'm going to tell you something real quick.

You're one of the best things to ever happen to me.

Don't you even think about dying before I do.

Don't even think about it.

-No, I won't do that to you. -Cheers, man.

Cheers. Same for you.

You know we're a team through thick and thin.

Right?

It's getting late.

Tilita's gonna wonder where you are. You better get your ass home.

-Let me pour you one more. -All right, all right.

My girl, she's making some dinner for us tonight, and I thought,

why don't you come eat and watch the game with me?

What game? No fucking way!

No, just let me be right now.

Hey, come on, really!

How is that not clear to you?

What's the name of this bar? "I'll wait for you here."

I'm not going anywhere, man.

Okay, okay, okay. Don't go driving, okay, bro?

Don't worry. I won't leave this table.

[Porras grunting]

-Watch it, or I'll have to drive you. -No, no, man. I'm fine.

Take it easy for me, bro.

Hey, and make sure you pay the lady's up front.

I didn't bring cash. I'll pay you tomorrow.

Don't pull that face, man.

[Spanish song continues to play]

[music turns menacing]

-[electronic buzzing] -[Danger grunts]

[grunts faintly]

Hey, you motherfucker!

[grunts in pain]

[music turns eerie]

[labored breathing]

[coughing]

You gonna torture me before you kill me, motherfucker?

[distorted voice] If I wanted to, I'd have done it a long time ago.

[grunting]

[panting]

[object rattling]

What are you going to do? Tell me, you motherfucker.

Let me go, you bastard!

Let me go. Fuck you, man. Let me go!

-Motherfucker. -Shut up and pay attention.

What are you doing?

[distorted voice] This poor, innocent guy has nothing to do with any of this.

But he's going to die.

Because you couldn't get Bárbara out of the company.

And the board won't be able to ignore that.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

[distorted voice] Enjoy it.

[voice heard through the phone]

-[gun cocks] -[distorted voice] Execute.

-[gun shot] -[people shouting]

[yelling]

[music turns tense]
