BENEFISCIENCE INVITES YOU TO THE LAUNCH OF A NEW LINE WITH MUSHROOMS

[tense music playing]

[exhales]

My love, I'd love to celebrate winning the trial against my father.

You have no idea how happy I am.

It's another step forward towards what I promised.

I guess you're busy with work. If you have time, we can meet at the club.

Love you. I can't wait to see you.

GET HER OUT OF MEDUSA

[Danger] I need you to come get me right away!

[police siren wailing]

[music fades gradually]

[Porras] "I spared your life."

"But you have two weeks to get that bitch Bárbara out of Medusa,

or people will keep dying."

We got a psychopath on our hands.

I don't believe a word that he says.

Even if Bárbara resigns, he won't stop screwing with us.

It feels very personal.

-You think so? Damn it! -Yeah.

-[grunts] -Watch it. There's a rock there.

-Hey! Watch out, man! -Thank you.

I found something there, brother.

Here it is.

Check this out.

Check out the guy who's shooting. The guy who shot Bárbara is right-handed.

[Danger] Mm-hmm.

And what does that mean?

In this video here, the man who killed Gunter is a lefty.

See there?

So what does that mean then?

We're dealing with multiple madmen.

[tense music playing]

Well done, brother.

You should check out all the sniper rifle purchases recently made.

Hopefully, we'll find something there.

Okay, great. Where are you off to now?

I gotta go talk to Bárbara.

You think that's wise?

[tense music peaks and fades]

[Bárbara] Giving in doesn't guarantee it will stop.

Exactly.

-He's demanded many times that I resign. -I know. That was before.

Now I'm not sure that even if we do what he wants,

he'll stop screwing with us.

Mm, I won't give in to his blackmail. No, I won't give up.

No. Hm.

I'm with you on that. No, you can't.

Of course we won't.

I've got a few ideas.

Hm-hmm. I do as well.

I want to make it clear. We won't give in.

At Medusa, we're working with the police to address this threat to our society.

As you all know, this monster is trying to scare Barranquilla's people.

It's very important that we work together in order to capture him.

For that reason, Medusa, along with the authorities,

have set up a hotline to report any suspicious activity or information

that allows us to locate him.

Let's not allow fear to take over our society.

Barranquilla will always be an example of unity, strength, and progress.

Thank you.

Yeah, yeah. The police are all over the city.

So I can't do anything for now.

[police siren wailing]

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'll keep a low profile.

And we'll have to show some patience.

Hm.

[hang-up beep]

-[keyboard typing] -[cell phone notification]

BENEFISCIENCE INVITES YOU

Fabi.

I just got this.

Who could it be?

It says it's a company selling recreational healing mushrooms.

Oh, please, why would I go there? Ah!

Think about it. There are very powerful people at these events.

With lots of money.

Charm them into donating that money to the foundations.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

Our deepest sympathies.

It's truly terrible

that, due to a bad product, your son is no longer with us.

[Jacobo] We'd like to do something about it.

We'd like to give you some help,

because when we heard about this news, which affected us deeply,

we got a great idea.

Soon, we'll launch the campaign for our mushroom

and would like you to be the face of it.

Our mushroom is truly natural.

-And beneficial. -Right.

They assured the same with the other mushrooms,

and it killed my boy.

Uh…

I can completely understand your hesitation, Nirca.

But I think we can offer you something even more beneficial.

[Nirca] Beneficial?

But money is never going to bring back my son.

No, of course it won't. That's not at all what I'm saying.

But it might just be able to help make your life a little bit easier.

But regardless of our offer, Nirca,

our real objective here is that we feel we have a responsibility.

We'll make those assholes at Eternals pay for what they've done.

-That's right. -For being irresponsible.

And we would like you to be the face leading the mission.

Because this cannot happen again to any other person in Colombia.

[suspenseful music continues to play]

[Esteban] So you're off shopping in Miami right before the launch?

Thanks for the support, partner! That's fantastic!

All right, Esteban, what did you expect me to do then?

To stay in Colombia, waiting to be the next victim of that monster?

Thank you for your concern, Esteban.

Go fuck yourself.

Enough. Stop arguing. We won't get anywhere by fighting.

Hey, I understand what she means.

These attacks are fucking things up. I may go there too.

[Esteban] Wow.

We're business partners! We have a contract! I don't get it!

I've kept to my part of the deal, as I promised.

I saw a lot of information from Medusa.

And I'm not saying that I'm going to live here forever.

As soon as they arrest the guy, I'll come back.

That's it! We have everything we need to continue production.

Chill out.

And let me remind you, Esteban, that I'm the one taking the risks.

All right? Deal with it.

[hang-up tone]

-Okay. -It's okay. Calm down.

[news music plays]

NTB BARRANQUILLA

This was a gateway drug to addiction.

My only son died of an overdose.

Lawsuits follow Mrs. Hinestroza's complaint from parents of young people

who claim that the Guarahí mushroom, Eternals' latest product,

has ruined the lives of their children,

as they created a gateway to stronger drugs.

That went very well, don't you think?

We hit them where it counts.

Great. Let's bleed them dry.

Perfect timing for the launch party of Benefiscience.

-How's it going? -Spectacular, baby.

As long as one of the Hidalgos confirms they're attending, home run.

Well…

and depending on how it goes,

we'll decide how big the celebration is.

Wait, baby, wait.

-[Adela exhales] -Baby.

[news music]

[Bárbara] Medusa will take legal action against the serious, malicious accusations

made against Eternals.

It's Bárbara! Turn it up a bit.

They talk about the deaths of young people,

continuing to build up the false assumption

that our mushrooms are to blame.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

We will prove in court, once and for all, that this is a terrible smear campaign.

Look at her. Bárbara is totally ruthless. She's a killer.

And you like that?

Well, baby, she's a Hidalgo.

If we're provoked, we hit back.

[laughs]

I mean, you told me about your family trauma,

but at the same time, you seem so proud of it.

Literally. At times they embarrass me, then I'm proud of them.

At times I love them, then I hate them. That's life, I guess.

I suppose.

But you know someone that makes me feel good all the time? Hm?

[both chuckle]

Why are we talking about my sister? That's enough. Get back here.

Come here.

[both moan]

-Hey, stay! -No, no, no.

-Don't go! -I have to leave.

-Where? -I've got things to do.

Yeah, things to do with me.

[sensual music playing]

-[metal clanking] -[music turns suspenseful]

[Fabián] So?

What did you get out of him?

Just emotional confessions about his fucked up family.

He treats me like a therapist.

Hm. Okay, keep going like this.

Just wait for instructions.

I think targeting Cristian is not the best way to hurt his sister.

They're not close.

And she just manipulates him for her own gain.

Did you get confused and get a little too invested here?

[scoffs]

Your job isn't to analyze Cristian.

Your job is to be glued to his ass

and be ready for whatever I ask you to do.

Understood?

[music turns tense]

[music fades]

[police siren wailing]

[Danger] Wow, look at you.

You're gorgeous tonight!

-And you're handsome. -Thank you.

I feel like I'm wearing a costume, but… look at you.

I love it when you dress up.

Where is it we're going?

To the launch of a new company selling mushrooms.

So a competitor?

Mm…

-Maybe so, but I like it. -Yeah?

The start of a new mushroom industry, and we could be pioneers.

We can even make alliances.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Listen, do we really have to leave right now?

Couldn't we… get there a bit later?

No.

-No, we can't. -I just want to get you out of that dress.

[chuckles] When we get back.

-They're already waiting for us. Yeah. -Yeah? No.

-We need to leave. -Yeah?

-Yes. -I'm gonna have to be patient then. Ah!

[both laugh]

[Cristian y Dalila chat indistinctly]

-Do I look okay? -You look handsome.

-You sure? -Yeah.

It's so itchy.

-So uncomfortable. -Don't think about it.

-How are you, Cristian? -Good evening.

-[Cristian] The famous Danger! -How are you?

Bárbara, you remember Fabi?

Yes, I do.

-Nice to see you. -Nice to see you again, Bárbara.

Danger, nice to see you. Do you remember Fabián Cuevas?

-Danger Carmelo. Nice to meet you. -Fabián Cuevas. Pleasure.

-You met at the foundations' event. -For the foundations, yeah.

-The foundations. -[Danger] I remember.

[Bárbara] Yes.

What's with all this? So much mystery.

[Bárbara] I have no idea.

-Do you think they're your competitors? -No. Competition, no.

Future collaborators, maybe.

All right, probably.

What the hell is she doing here?

[suspenseful music playing]

Good evening, Hidalgos.

Thank you for coming.

Good evening.

This woman is always trying to step on my toes.

Good evening. I want to thank you all for being here.

Benefiscience is the very first company in Columbia

to discover the ancestral properties of our mushrooms

and share them with the world.

Yeah, sure, the first one.

And we found the antidote and the cure for physical and mental aging,

because our elixir of life is produced without chemical alterations,

since we only intervene at the extraction.

Because here, we don't give life.

We are life.

And we would like you all to be a part of it too.

I don't believe this, oh my God!

Wait, is this supposed to be a joke?

Thank you for coming.

-You want to leave? -No.

-Are you sure? -No. Let's not leave just yet.

At Benefiscience, it's our mission to create a product

that's totally conceived and meticulously crafted with research,

so we can say with certainty that our mushrooms nourish the soul,

because at the end of the day, it's the only thing that's priceless.

Thanks for joining us tonight. Thank you for the love.

Please enjoy your evening. Thank you once again.

[applause]

-Come on. Get up here. -Nice.

No.

-[Cristian] What is he doing up there? -The missing piece to complete the circus.

-This has to be a joke. -Is that your cousin?

Yeah, it is. Fucking traitor.

It's pathetic.

[music fades]

-Wait a second. -One for the front page.

-Now. -Now.

Listen, are you sure you want to talk to him?

Yes, Danger. I'm sure.

-All right, thanks. -Thank you.

Can you explain to me what this thing is all about?

-How can I explain? -Don't be rude. Watch it.

Don't be like that. Please, let's keep it cool.

I didn't think you'd actually come.

Even if at some point I felt like an aura,

that love and positive vibe you always bring along.

Do you really think you can compete with us with this cheap knock-off?

-It's not just a cheap knock-off. -Really?

Let me explain.

There's actually competition when the two sides are equal.

But if one of these two has a fully ruined reputation,

that's it.

If we're talking about reputation,

people won't do business with you when they discover the hustler you are.

-Some of us do change, sweetheart. -I'm not your sweetheart.

-[Esteban] Thank God. -Watch yourself, fuck face.

I'm going to show your family and you. I'm not just your cuckold.

You already know what's coming.

All good around here, baby?

Everything's perfect.

Hello, Bárbara. No introduction?

Detective Danger Carmelo.

Detective, huh?

Every time you surpass yourself.

They're the perfect match.

And you never stop showing off how mediocre you are, Ms. Lemaitre.

That's the Bárbara I always knew. The original.

In person.

Do you know what you're getting into with this monster? Good luck, Carmelo.

-You'd better be careful, asshole. -[Esteban] Good luck.

-Luck can't even save you now. -Let's go.

-Definitely, it's a match made in heaven. -Let's go.

Fucking witch.

Hey, let her leave with Mr. Dumbass.

[cell phone ringing]

[TV playing in background]

[cell phone keeps ringing]

-Hello? -Vivi, did you know about Benefiscience?

Benefiscience?

I have no idea.

Adela Lemaitre started a mushroom business with Esteban and Jacobo.

Did you know that?

Really?

No, Barbie, I've never heard about that.

I was wondering, since you're so close to Jacobo.

I haven't spoken to Jacobo since you kicked him out of Medusa.

Listen, I wouldn't worry about Esteban and Adela.

I'm sure that they have no idea what they're doing.

Vivi, they're trying to screw us over with misinformation.

I realized that Esteban and Adela are behind all that stuff.

Hey.

You know that the Lemaitres control the media in this country, right?

Yeah, but they don't have our experience.

I can assure you that Esteban doesn't have any idea.

-He doesn't know how this business works. -He knows me very well, Viviana.

And he can do a lot of damage.

So please let me know when you talk to Jacobo, okay?

You can count on it.

Okay, keep me posted. Let's talk later. Bye.

She says she had no idea.

Come on.

[melancholic music playing]

Baby, I loved how you stood up to Bárbara.

Yeah?

[both panting]

And I loved how pissed she looked.

And I loved to see

that she feels threatened by Benefiscience.

[both moan and pant]

[music fades]

-Miami looks good on you. -Mm.

[Jacobo] Did you turn off the AC? It's hot in here.

Jacobo, what face did Bárbara make?

-Barbie? -Mm-hmm.

Baby, you should have seen her. She was in shock.

She just couldn't believe it. You should've seen her, poor thing.

She didn't see this coming.

-And you're happy about that? -No.

Mm-hmm. You like to be nasty.

You're trouble…

-Jacobo, me? -You're naughty.

What if I told you that Bárbara asked me to get information from you.

-No way. -Mm-hmm.

And how will you get it?

-You know what the problem is, cousin? -What?

-I'm not a snitch. -You're not?

Well, isn't that a shame?

[upbeat, defiant music playing]

'Cause I was in the mood to celebrate.

-Oh, yeah. -Mm. Yeah.

All right.

In that case, I can make an exception.

-[music turns sensual] -All right then.

Let's have some fun.

This is just to give us our fill, right?

-Whoever falls in love, loses. -Amen.

[both laugh]

[both moaning]

[music fades]

Good morning.

Hello, Maya. Good morning. It's nice to have you back.

You know, your mom has missed you a lot.

That's why she had breakfast without me.

She had to go to a meeting with your uncle, but…

I've got you, if you need anything.

Any word on catching that guy that almost killed you?

No, nothing. We're on it though.

And I really hope you make up with your mom

and stop fighting with her, because… she loves you.

[scoffs] Give me a break.

She's acting really weird

since she started taking that new mushroom, Guarahí.

[suspenseful music playing]

You think so?

Haven't you noticed?

[music fades]

My guy at the DA's office told me that Gunter

was going to give an update on his investigation.

What kind of update?

Something related to construction companies

that gave bribes to Gamboa to win contracts.

-Classic move. Why do you look so worried? -I'd like to be informed.

Doesn't your partner keep you up to date?

Cristian, Danger can't give me confidential information.

Not me or anybody. You know.

He's the lead in this investigation.

Anyway, let's talk about more interesting things.

Since we've won the lawsuit against our old man,

we started exports again.

[Danger] Here comes Bárbara. Help me hide this here!

Hey, Bárbara. What are you doing here?

-[Porras] Hey. -Nice to see you, Porras.

-I need to talk to you. -Of course.

What's going on?

Are you investigating the Gamboa case and didn't tell me?

[tense sting]

-Honey, it's just-- -Danger.

I need to know if you suspect Arácnida are implicated in this.

In the police, we have a code of ethics. This is the reason I wasn't able to…

You know this is why I can't tell you anything.

Yeah, code of ethics.

Don't you realize this investigation

could bring down the company I'm trying to revive?

-No, you don't. -I can't talk to you about it. I'm sorry.

Okay.

Tell me if my family had anything to do

with the deaths of Gamboa and the journalist. Please, just that.

Actually, that's technically part of the investigation.

I thought we were a team, and that you trusted me.

-Yes, we are a team, of course. -You weren't always so ethical, were you?

[eerie music plays]

-What is it you're trying to say? -I'm not saying anything that isn't true.

Are you throwing Saúl in my face?

-Maya's right. -Is that so?

You're not the same mom.

She said you're addicted to those pills, Guarahí, Guarani, whatever it's called.

It's nothing to do with that.

-What are you saying? -Are you sure?

Completely sure.

Maya herself took them and said they had no effect on her.

Listen, honey,

I don't want to fight with you. I swear.

But we need to be able to respect each other's space.

I don't get involved in Medusa. You make your decisions. I respect them.

I need you to respect my decisions as well. It's part of my job!

So please, you need to trust me.

I promise I'm on your side here.

[tense music playing]

I don't want to fight with you about this. I swear.

-Bye. -I love you.

-[sighs] -[music fades]

MEDUSA CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY

OFFERING OR GIVING A BRIBE ILLEGAL AWARDING OF CONTRACTS

[Esteban on TV] Yes, we're happy because the launch of Benefiscience

has been a tremendous success.

[TV anchor] So tell us a bit more…

[laughing] I guess he has balls after all.

Why are you laughing? That will affect all the sales at Medusa.

Open your eyes. Let them eat each other alive.

You won't get involved?

The Lemaitres are the best thing that could have happened to me.

But you don't have what it takes to understand.

[Esteban] We're trying to help people with our line.

I don't like talking about the competition.

I don't like it, but that other one is trash!

They call it "the Cursed Mushroom." There are already memes out.

I mean, it's not right for a company to harm other people, human beings.

We're here to help each other, so we're happy.

And I know that very soon, you'll have…

They've been sued by many people for causing harm to kids and young people.

-I mean, that's not right. -Mm-hmm.

I don't know if you have seen the memes…

YOU KEPT FUCKING WITH MY KIDS. I HAVE PROOF OF YOUR ABUSE

[Esteban] Anyway, we're happy.

So thank you very much for being here and joining us in our success.

-[cell phone chimes] -[tense music plays]

What is it? Why did you jump like that? What'd you read?

Get off my back! Find something to do already.

Go read a book.

[suspenseful music playing]

Leave me alone, Úrsula!

[Úrsula sighs]

[inaudible]

Thank you.

[music fades]

[ominous sting]

What are you doing here?

You're asking for trouble, Esperanza.

No.

Just watch me. I'll get back at you where it counts.

In your ego.

I swear to you, I'm gonna take you down like I should have done a long time ago,

when I was too scared to fight.

Very well.

You've been warned.

Okay.

I hear you clearly.

Hey! This is the last time you lay a hand on me,

you little piece of shit!

[both grunt]

[tense music playing]

[panting]

[music peaks and fades gradually]

Who would guess? You're so elegant, but you have a bit of a wild side.

Imagine, I even tore off skin from his neck.

[Diógenes] What if I'm his son? If this comes back positive…

What happens? How would things work?

-Listen-- -[nurse] Come in.

Oh!

Miss, how long does it take?

The blood samples take five minutes and the fast-track results a few days.

-Ah, perfect. Thanks. -[nurse] Please, follow me, sir.

Go get them, tiger.

[door opens]

Look, if we find out that you're actually lying to us,

the sentence can be much worse, so I recommend you tell me the truth.

That way you avoid delays, paperwork, and lots of stress.

Let's start again.

Who paid you to come up with all these lies for the media?

No one. Our children are victims of that mushroom.

Just like the one who died, Nirca's son.

I'd recommend you cooperate with the law.

Remember that the crime of slander and libel

can result in up to 15 years in prison.

I know for a fact that Guarahí mushrooms made my son an addict.

And whoever paid you didn't inform you that mushroom is not at all addictive?

-No one paid me for anything. -You're gonna keep repeating that?

Medusa's lawyers are prepared to ask for the highest penalty

for damages and prejudice.

And that's gonna mean years in prison for you.

How are you going to help your kid if you're broke?

If you help me out, I can help you out.

So what do you say?

All right then.

Can you guarantee I won't go to prison, and you'll protect me?

Yes, of course.

But you gotta help me convince the others to talk.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

Over there. Come.

-Okay, let me see. -No, I'll open it. Wait a second.

DNA PATERNITY TEST

You're an Hidalgo plain as day.

[tense music playing]

That means I carry his blood.

Whether I like it or not.

I'm warning you that this last name doesn't only bring benefits, you know?

Let the shitshow begin, huh?

I want all those stuck-up assholes to find out that they have family

way down at the bottom.

And I'm from the fucking bottom. It doesn't get any deeper.

Okay.

Come on.

[music intensifies]

I've got news for you.

Let me know how you want to proceed, and I'll do it.

[music fades]

I've been looking into it,

and I was able to uncover that the people who sued Eternals

were all paid by someone to slander Medusa.

[Bárbara] I'm sure that was Adela.

Necessity knows no law, as they say.

All these people, apart from the money they got,

they thought they were doing the right thing to protect their kids

from all the chemical and synthetic drugs they find every day in their streets.

Wow, so Esteban and Adela looked for real victims

to discredit Eternals. [scoffs]

Uh-huh. Don't worry. We're going to investigate.

Don't worry about it. Love you. We'll talk later.

Oh, fuck!

[tense music plays]
