Original subtitles

i wasn't just a teen mom but i was also

living in a sewer and had to fight off

rats that were trying to eat me but

let's back off a bit and let me tell you

the full story of how i ended up living

in mexico city's sewer system even

though i was only 15. i grew up middle

class in mexico city and my life was

rather boring until i had my first

fashion photo shoot there was this

well-dressed guy who came up to me

telling me i was cute he even asked me

out to a bar but i told him i was only

15 and my dad would never allow me to go

out at night because of all the gangs

and drug cartels in our country he ended

up giving me his number anyway and

walked off again then my manager came

over saying stay away from that guy his

dad is a high ranking cartel member and

he only comes to these fashion shoots to

pick up pretty girls had i been smart i

would have listened to his advice but i

just couldn't get the guy out of my head

the fact that his dad was in a cartel

only made him more exciting i imagined

us hiding from the police and expensive

mansions and building our own drug

cartel together oh i loved fantasizing

about being the wife of a drug cartel

boss so i met up with a guy his name was

armando i dated him for months and it

was just as i had imagined it he drove

me through the city in sports cars and i

knew i had to fear no one when i was

next to him not even the police because

the police is super corrupt in mexico

for example one time a drunk guy at a

party made fun of my boyfriend armando

but when his friends told him whose son

armando was the guy jumped on his knees

and begged him for mercy crying and

embarrassing himself and i guess it

worked because armando let him go again

that's why he had so much confidence no

one could touch him but one day he

picked me up at my home and my dad asked

him who he was armando responded i'm

your daughter's boyfriend

ha not in a million years i can tell

what kind of guy you are that's when dad

took me by my arm and dragged me back

into the house i saw armando coming at

my dad from behind but i waved him off

because i didn't want anyone to get hurt

i was in love though so the next day

after school i ran away and started

living with armando he was living in a

big apartment and spent so much money on

me that i was convinced he was serious

about us but one night we and his

friends went to a bar and i made a

mistake i got a bit drunk and told

armando that one of his friends looked

super cute he freaked out and told me

that i should then go date that guy

instead of him i immediately apologized

and said i'd only been joking but

afterward it was never the same again

between us he came home less and less

often and just didn't seem to love me

anymore i was so petrified of losing him

that i made him impregnate me i did it

by lying to him and saying i was on the

pill i thought if we had a child he'd

fall back in love with me i said i know

things have been difficult between us

lately but look what i just found out i

showed him the pregnancy test hoping

he'd be happy about it but he looked

dead in the eyes aren't you happy this

wasn't part of my plans his reaction

made me so nervous had he already been

planning on leaving me we went to bed

but i couldn't fall asleep i was too

worried then in the middle of the night

he stood up took his phone and left the

room i secretly followed him to the

balcony and heard him say i need you to

get rid of her it will be an easy job

i'll just bring her to your home

tomorrow morning i ran back to the

bedroom petrified i had to get out of

here so i stood up early around 5am

trying to escape but armando somehow

noticed it and said where are you going

oh just to the bathroom i think the baby

woke me up okay and by the way i'll

later visit a friend you should come

with us

oh

that sounds fantastic

but

it's my aunt's birthday today

that's fine no problem we'll visit your

aunt first and afterward go to my friend

what the frick this psycho really wanted

me dead i went to the bathroom and

turned on the shower i wanted to make

armando believe i was showering so i had

enough time to escape then i left the

bathroom and went to the front door but

right when i pushed on the handle i

heard armando say where are you going

want me

oh

i'm just going outside to get some

exercise without shoes and why did you

leave the shower on i had no excuses

left and just ran outside to the

elevator armando didn't follow me i

guess he was scared i'd scream and get

the neighbor's attention instead he just

stared in my eyes while i waited for the

elevator it was so scary afterward i

immediately went back to my dad's house

i was crying when he opened the door i

felt so bad for running away but he

immediately took me in his arms and i

knew he still loved me i told him that

armando's dad was a high-ranking member

of a cartel and that he wanted me dead

now because i was carrying his baby my

dad responded don't worry i know a place

where you can hide he walked me to the

street in front of our house opened a

manhole cover and said go in there

before someone sees you quick i'll bring

you food later i climbed to the bottom

and the smell was so bad i started

crying it was wet stinky and dirty i

waited for 12 hours until my dad finally

came down to bring me food what took you

so long i hate this place you don't

understand your lovely boyfriend armando

paid me a visit today he and his buddies

searched the whole house for you it's

best if you stay down here for a few

months until things cool down a few

months are you nuts there isn't even a

toilet down here

that's why i brought you diapers my dad

also brought me water canisters food a

camping mat and a walkie-talkie it

wasn't the life of my dreams but at

least i was safe and it also gave me

time to reflect on all the dumb

decisions i'd made later that day i

called my dad apologized for running

away and thanked him for letting me come

back he only responded don't worry

sweetie i'll always be there for you

then i fell asleep but after a few hours

i felt a tickling on my toe ah a

freaking rat i wanted to eat my foot

that was my life until three weeks later

when my dad organized me away to escape

mexico i don't want to say where i live

now because i'm still scared that

armando might find me someday but

recently i found work as a primary

school teacher while raising my daughter

it's not an easy life and i wish i'd

listened to my dad when he warned me

about armando but i can't change the

past
