Original subtitles

If we want to investigate this bastard thoroughly,

we have to ask Hernández for authorization.

No, boss. But he'll send us packing.

He's very sensitive about everything related to this case.

There's the lawyer.

-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.

The office of Commissioner Hernández is over there.

I want to talk to you.

She said she was going to the bathroom and would be back,

but she'd already left.

And she said she was from a magazine, or something like that.

Because she wanted to do a story on how...

Look.

My mom gets very upset with strangers, okay?

I told you very clearly

that no visitors are allowed without my permission.

Mrs. Matilde was very calm. She seemed to like the girl.

What?

And what did they talk about? What did my mom tell her?

Nothing.

She only showed her a picture of you that she'd cut out of a magazine.

She said your name was Ramón.

Look.

I need to be alone with my mother, okay?

Please leave.

One more thing.

If you want to keep your job,

make sure this is the last time you let anyone in

without my permission.

-Yes, sir. -Okay?

COLLISION

Where did you get this?

I can't reveal my source,

but they're from the day Matías was drugged.

We're investigating that too.

We're sure he was involved with Ashley.

We also know Ashley lied all the time.

Well, I have more news for you.

Zoé saw this man with Juan Blanco.

How? Where?

Outside Blanco's house.

Apparently, they were arguing.

Blanco said he was some drunk who tried to rob him.

But Zoé saw him giving the guy orders, and the guy obeyed.

Zoé is sure Blanco and this man know each other.

Inspector.

It's important that Hernández not find out about this.

No, but I can't hide it from him.

Even knowing that he's colluding with Blanco?

That's a very serious accusation.

Hernández was seen with Juan Blanco and Senator Margarito Tabares

at a gala dinner.

There are rumors that they're asking him to join

the senator's campaign team.

This is the kind of power we're up against, inspector.

I hope I'm not making a mistake by trusting you.

Excuse me.

-Go ahead, thank you. -Go ahead.

Finally, we can call it what it is.

Chief Hernández is completely corrupt.

-Boss, sorry. I didn't mean to... -No, it's okay.

It's not your fault.

Zoé, what's wrong? You're shaking. Are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm just stressed, because I found something out today.

I want to tell you.

Yes, yes. I'm listening. What's going on?

It's just that...

I was in Juan's office,

and I saw a drawing that caught my eye,

that had no business being there.

And then I noticed the address of a nursing home.

And then?

So I went there.

And I found out that Juan's mother lives there.

She has some form of dementia, and she calls Juan "Ramón."

Ramón? Well, but right now...

-No. There's more, listen. -What do you mean Ra...?

So I went in and talked to the receptionist.

And I told her I was doing a story on senior citizens or whatever.

Then she told me Matías had been there.

How are you?

Good afternoon. I'm Matías Iturrieta.

-Yes, you look familiar to me. -From Robles and Associates.

We actually want to do a story on this place.

On us?

What was Matías doing there?

I mean, do you think he was going to tell me?

And maybe that's why he was killed.

Do you realize? It was right there.

I mean, it happened ten days after I was kidnapped, remember?

-Of course I remember. -It's obvious that Juan...

Juan killed Matías, but I don't understand why.

What did he discover there?

Look, Zoé. This is getting serious, and you need to tell the police.

-No, no. -You can't stay silent, Zoé.

No, listen to me. I have to do this on my own.

No. Never alone. Believe me, I'm not letting you do this alone.

I can't tell Azucena, because Azucena is going to tell Marina, and...

No, no. They're going to ruin everything.

Look, Zoé. I just want to help you.

I know this is your fight, but please let me help too.

You are helping me. By coming with me, by being here.

You're my accomplice.

Yes.

Call Belén.

Where are you?

You disappeared from the office all afternoon.

My love, sorry. Sorry I didn't let you know, but...

They called me at the last minute

for a meeting with the campaign team. That's all.

Well, I don't like you neglecting the mining business

because you're involved in politics.

Look, I don't neglect anything.

Okay?

Why don't you and I go out to dinner tonight?

I'll tell you everything, all the latest details.

It's been a long time since we've spent any time together, darling.

Alright, come pick me up.

-It's not here. I swear it's not. -Let's see, any of these?

-No. -No?

No, no. It's green and blue.

Hey, I don't know, I mean, I can't believe it.

-Where did I leave it? I don't get it. -Well, it's okay, no problem.

You were in shock. It doesn't matter. We'd better figure something out.

No, well, I mean, I'll have to look for it.

No, no, no. You can't go. But I can go.

How are you going to do that? I mean...

Let me help you.

Okay.

Well, yes, they said they needed people to help out, but I don't know.

-It's very late. -There it is. No, there it is.

I'll apply for a job, and that'll be our way in.

Goodness. I don't know, girl. I don't want to put you at risk, Aitana.

No, you're not putting me at risk. We'll do it that way.

I want to do this. For you, for Mati.

We just have to plan it carefully.

-Okay. Okay. -Okay?

I still can't believe Margarito had the nerve to ask Zoé

to work for him.

Well, Zoé did everything she could to make that happen.

A shame.

Poor thing. She won't get anywhere.

Let's see.

Zoé wants to take your power away.

And just as she approached me,

she'll team up with anyone she has to.

-That's right. -And what do the lawyers say?

Any progress on getting her out of the group?

Well, nothing. We have to see what she does.

Let's see, if she keeps approaching me,

and harassing me

now that she's a shareholder in the group,

I can say she's behaving inappropriately.

And maybe the lawyer can use that to pressure her,

we can get her out.

Fine. Then make sure the lawyer gets the evidence he needs.

Well, yes. But it's not easy.

Look, Zoé is very smart.

And now she's being a lot more careful

since she started working with Margarito.

I mean, it's crazy.

I'll take care of that.

And she'll have to get her hands dirty too.

If she knows what's good for her.

Well, a friend told me you were hiring

-cleaning staff. Right? -Yes.

Yes, we really do need the help.

We had an agency, but everything got messed up.

Well, I could.

Well, you don't really look like someone who does this kind of work. Do you?

No, well, everyone would like to be a millionaire, right?

But, well, life is hard. Don't you think?

Come on, I really need the job. Please, help me out.

Well, look, only because I like you.

-Okay. -I can take you to Human Resources.

We'll talk there, and I'll have them interview you.

Benjamín Alvarado.

He's the man we're looking for.

-Does he work here? -No, inspector.

He worked here for less than a year.

They hired him after he got out of prison, as I understand it.

It was a program created by Mr. Miguel Ángel

to help former inmates reintegrate into society.

But the board of directors canceled it shortly after.

Why did he leave? Or was he fired?

It says here that in 2009 his contract ended. That's all.

Do you want me to get a copy of the file?

Yes, please.

-Excuse me. -Thank you.

2009.

The year of the failed kidnapping of Miguel Ángel Robles.

But also, the person who signed his termination paperwork

is Genaro Sánchez.

And the worst part is they blame us, the Coyotes.

We are here for the people.

We're here to defend you. We're on your side.

What do you expect?

Do you want us to contaminate your water in Mexico City?

To contaminate it with lithium?

And have your children get burned? Like ours?

Very well.

I'm glad you managed to move forward, despite the terrible management

you had in my absence.

Thank you.

Well, we also have to edit out a couple of comments from Roque,

the Coyote.

Because they're a bit extreme, and they don't represent the majority.

I mean, that's obvious from Ikal's reaction

and his grandfather's, right?

And the alleged murderer is your idea of a pacifist.

No.

So, since I'm the one who decides, the report will air as is.

Okay?

Well, would you like to look at the list of new advertisers

in the folders in front of you?

If you don't mind.

In this proposal, you will find advertisers

that go far beyond products like creams and medicines.

I think we've become a bit stagnant,

and I'd like us to attract advertisers that appeal to a broader audience.

I think it's a good proposal.

Thank you. I was thinking we could have

rotating ads during prime time.

And we could have fewer advertisers,

but with higher-quality ads.

Our current portfolio is perfectly sound.

In fact, we've had some problems with payments.

I like Zoé's proposal.

Shall we vote on improving our client portfolio?

Three to two.

Let's proceed.

NATIONAL POLICE

I find it quite a coincidence

that he was working at Robles and Associates in 2008.

Yes, Camacho. But we don't have enough evidence to prove

that man was involved in the kidnapping attempt.

And the only one who can give us that information is Genaro Sánchez.

Or Benjamín Alvarado.

Well, yes.

But we also don't have grounds to question him.

We haven't been authorized to.

We can't act on our own.

If you...

Do you have anything yet on the Guerrero case?

-No. -Damn!

The email I sent you was very clear!

Make it a priority!

Priority!

Well, it will have to wait.

The inspector will do her job as always.

And now, if you'll excuse us, commissioner.

We are very busy.

Yes, yes, senator.

Yes, yes. I'm taking care of it.

Son of a bitch.

What do you want now?

Don't tell me it's for the good of the company, because I don't buy it.

And another thing, Zoé.

Aren't you ashamed of throwing yourself at Juan like that?

Just so I understand, did you come all the way here just to insult me?

I know perfectly well what you're doing.

Okay. Are you going to help me?

You don't know how to stand up to me, do you?

You think you're weakening me.

But that's impossible, dear.

And no matter how hard you try to make me feel guilty,

you won't be able to.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

About the messages you send me to drive me crazy.

And blaming me for everything that happens to you.

What messages? What are you talking about?

How cynical.

Cynical?

Do you hear yourself when you talk?

Look, I don't know if you realize it.

But in this family, it's just you and me now.

Whether you like it or not.

You know? I don't think my dad or my brother

would want us to be like this with each other.

But do whatever you want.

Good, very good.

Perfect.

Good, good.

"Matilde Arévalo."

What?

Well, as you can see, this is more or less

the design for Margarito, but...

Is there something on my face?

No, nothing. It's just your perfume.

It's very distinctive, it lingers everywhere.

Do you know what I just remembered I prepared for you?

Some documents so you can review a few key communication points.

I had forgotten.

Yes, it's fine.

What surprises me is that this time you didn't defend Ikal.

Since when are you so quiet?

We're keeping our distance.

Look, I'm telling you this because it's you, but...

I feel like...

you know, seeing who he associates with...

I don't know. It makes me think maybe he's not the person

I thought he was.

I told you, didn't I? From the beginning.

Yes, yes, yes.

And since I'm looking for the truth about what happened with Matías,

I don't think it's a good idea to keep one of the suspects so close.

I couldn't be objective.

I appreciate your honesty.

And if you'll allow me, and you have a minute,

I would love to take you somewhere.

So I can be honest with you too.

If you've already had the safety briefing,

the next step is to familiarize yourself with the job.

Take it slow while you get the hang of it.

Yes, sir.

By the way, once again, thank you for the opportunity.

Don't worry.

Look, I'll give you the manual and the keys.

Meanwhile, I'll go supervise the others.

Thank you.

-What are we doing here? -Come on, follow me.

How long are you going to keep pretending, Zoé?

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have followed you.

It's okay.

I understand you.

You wanted to know more about me.

But it still wasn't right. Seriously, I shouldn't have done it. I'm sorry.

Look, I'm very private about my family history.

I just don't like talking about it.

It's too sad, Zoé.

But you already met my mom,

I guess you already know that she has Alzheimer's, right?

You don't have to explain anything to me, really.

Look, my mom was the only good thing I had growing up.

My dad was a bastard.

An abuser,

drunk,

violent.

More than once, my mom and I ended up in the hospital with broken bones.

You can't imagine what it was like.

Horrible.

Once he almost killed her, because she tried to defend me.

I had no idea.

I'm sorry.

I know.

And before the police arrived, my dad ran away.

And we never heard from him again.

Anyway...

The doctors say it has nothing to do with it.

But I'm sure all the beatings my mom took...

caused her illness.

Why are you ashamed of that?

I come from very humble beginnings, Zoé.

People from your social class never look kindly on people like us.

Those of us who worked our way up

on our own.

They call us social climbers.

I understand.

But honestly, I was really thrown off

by how you stood up and left the meeting with Tabares.

Is that why you followed me here?

I found a drawing with this address in your office, and I got curious.

Look, all I'm asking is...

if you want to know more about me,

ask me.

I'll be happy to answer. Okay?

-I have a meeting. I have to go. -I'll give you a ride.

Just drop me off at the office, and I'll get my car there. Okay?

Okay.

You will never be a Robles.

You disgrace a name you don't deserve to use.

You'll never stop, right?

You were always a nobody.

And that's all you'll ever be.

Everything okay, ma'am?

Tell the doctor that I don't have time to wait.

But, Mrs. Robles...

Clearly, Senator Margarito and someone named Suárez

received payments from the mining company.

We have everything documented.

Does anyone else have a copy of these documents?

Of course not. Everything was done as you instructed.

Thank you.

Okay, once you have those documents, can you send them to me?

Of course.

New guy, do you need help?

No, thank you.

I was just trying to get familiar with the equipment.

-But Goyo is the one who operates it. -Of course.

I was just looking.

Get back to work.

Get out, please.

I need this put together right now. Okay? You too. Seriously.

All set for the show?

-Yes, the report is already uploaded. -Yes.

Perfect.

Can you alert Security to stay on standby? Just in case.

-Yes, I'll tell them right now. -Thanks.

-Everything okay? -Yes, all set.

Good.

-Okay. -Could you...?

Bárbara, that testimony was taken out of context.

I mean, it can't be used like that.

Look, all I know is that every testimony matters.

It won't air. It's your duty as a reporter.

No, my job is to answer to my boss. And she gave me instructions.

I don't understand you. Don't you care about the repercussions this could have?

For whom? For you?

For Ikal, for the people who are sick.

For Ikal's family, I don't know, for someone you care about.

-Please, I have to work. Thanks. -You know?

There is one thing that actually makes me happy.

Finally seeing who you really are.

I can't count on you, and now you can't count on me either.

As you wish.

Yes, that's what this company will be like very soon.

And you won't be part of it.

Let's continue.

Ikal, how are you?

I'm calling because I'm really sorry

that the interview with Roque is going to air. I truly apologize.

Look, Bárbara. You know very well that that's not fair.

Our entire struggle can't be reduced to that,

and neither can the Coyotes'.

Yes, and I know how difficult it is for you.

But I wanted you to know that this is hard for me too.

Zoé and Juan are forcing me.

Zoé? No, that can't be.

What do you expect?

Do you want us to contaminate your water in Mexico City?

Look, Bárbara, seriously.

I mean, you're destroying him on television.

This can't be happening. This is more than just a conversation.

My dad is not some subversive leader.

He is a community leader.

What do you expect?

Do you want us to contaminate your water in Mexico City?

To contaminate it...?

What can I tell you? I tried to stop them,

but they're working together.

And there's no stopping them.

Yeah. Yeah, I get it now.

I understand perfectly, Bárbara. You don't make any decisions, do you?

Fine. Leave it like that.

Benjamín Alvarado.

He worked at Robles and Associates.

Right around the same time

you came up with the idea of kidnapping Mr. Miguel Ángel Robles.

Besides, he is an ex-convict.

No,

I don't remember.

And I don't believe you.

Tell me.

When you found out Mr. Benjamín was a convicted criminal,

did you ask him to help kidnap Mr. Robles?

Was it him?

I invoke my right to remain silent.

Genaro, you can't live in fear.

That's not it.

You have to do something.

Whoever is pressuring you

is going to follow through on their threats sooner or later.

That's how it goes, pal.

There are thousands of other cases just like yours.

We can offer protection to you and your family.

But in return, you have to give us something.

Think of your wife, think of your daughters.

They don't deserve to be going through this.

I won't say another word

until I'm granted witness protection.

It's not that easy, Genaro.

Judges only grant those requests in exceptional cases.

Well, those are my conditions.

You get me out of here,

and send me abroad. My family too.

Or I won't say another word.

Guard, I want to go to my cell.

Here it is.

It's a voice changer for cellphones.

Please take a picture of the device.

-Yes. -I need to see the model

and its serial number.

-God. Juan, she has no limits. -Relax. She's trying to drive you crazy,

but it'll all catch up with her, okay?

No, this is the last thing I'll let her do in this company.

Not one more thing, I swear.

I'm going.

Going.

I did what I could.

-What you could? -Yes, what I could.

Zoé, you own the station.

Yes, but if I keep pushing,

I'm going to lose everything I've gained with Juan.

I can't.

Have you heard yourself? All of this is changing you.

Sit down.

It's not changing me, I'm the same as always.

But we've risked too much, we've lost people we care about.

I can't.

Look, Zoé, come on. Please stop.

No.

You're putting everyone at risk.

But most of all, you're putting yourself at risk.

Yes, I know.

Come on, please, Zoé. You have to stop this.

What do you think this guy is going to do?

Because he's a damn bastard, he's a son of a bitch.

When he finds out you're lying to him, he won't just sit there and take it.

You know that, right?

I think we need to stop seeing each other.

-That's what I think. -What?

Is that what you want?

Look, Zoé. I think...

You have to stop this,

and you have to tell Marina everything you know.

-No. I'm not talking to Marina... -Yes, you are.

Because then Juan will stop trusting me.

No. No.

I'm not leaving you alone, Zoé.

I want to be with you through all of this, to the end.

I know.

-Then don't decide for me. -No, it's just...

I don't care anymore about seeing this through to the end.

But I'm not putting you or your family at risk. I'm sorry.

It doesn't matter.

Zoé, I'm not leaving you alone, understand!

But I love you, and I don't want anything to happen to you.

Zoé.

Code red.

-Code red. -It's the hazardous waste machine.

Code red.

-I can't stop it. -Code red.

You. Go warn the others.

Code red.

What were you doing at the machine, newbie?

I just went to see how it worked.

That's not true. I've seen you before.

He was working next to the machine.

Don't touch me. It's a trap.

Roque, the Coyotes' leader, Goyo, and Temastián forced me.

I didn't want to, I swear to you.

And with the statements they made in the media.

They kept their promise.

That's not true.

Let's carry out the plan we drew up.

Let's give the press the culprit they're looking for.

And show them that we're the real victims.

We put another black mark on the Coyotes, and that's it.

That's what you wanted anyway, right?

-Yes, but... -Look.

We need to come up with a plan

that gets us out of this quickly and cleanly.

Okay?

Damn it, man.

Come. Come in, come in.

The room is empty. They said she went to have some tests done or something.

But we have to hurry.

Okay.

Come in.

Come in.

-No one's coming. -Stay by the door.

-Stay... -No, no. I'll help you.

-Tell me what we're looking for. -Anything. Anything

Anything that catches your eye.

-Anything strange, anything at all. -Strange?

No.

Seriously, what a mess.

-No, there's something odd here. -Tell me. Take a good look.

It's gone.

-Hello. -Hi.

Do you know if my mom is done with the tests she was having?

No, it'll still be a while.

-Okay. I'll wait for her in her room. -Yes, of course.

-Come in. -Thank you.

There's something here.

These are from offshore accounts, right?

And this?

Fifteen numbers.

The bank account number.

Hello, Julia. How are you?

-Good afternoon. Yeah. -Hello.

Beauty.

It's all written down.

And numbers. In Juan's handwriting.

"M.A. found me out. He thinks he's got me, damn it.

I'll have to get rid of you, and B will finally be...

My wife. I'm going to make the bird fall from the sky."

Did this bastard kill my dad?

-No, let's go, Zoé. We can't be here. -No. No way.

What are you doing here? Who allowed you in here?

-I was cleaning and my... -What are you doing? What's that?

Show me your hands. What are you doing?

-Security! -Nothing, nothing.

What do you have there? Stop right there!
