Original subtitles

A few years ago an immigrant from El Salvador

and his family were lynched

then burned alive by the people who are being murdered.

Why is The Cat asking for your help?

Tolsa has been holding back information from you.

Files were tampered with,

and evidence has gone missing in The Cat case.

It's her.

When you left the school, she went missing overnight.

We heard nothing of her.

There's a small town nearby I haven't been to in ages.

It's very pretty and you'll love it.

I keep all my secrets in here.

Wait a minute, stay still.

Great.

Are you ready for Asunción de la Sal?

Ready.

BEFORE I FORGET

-Thank you very much, Mr. León. -My pleasure.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

I can also offer you the steam room service.

How wonderful!

-Can I help you with your bag? -No!

This way, please.

We have to find the girl's diary, Zampayo.

But where, Guerra?

Valdominos' wife thinks the grandmother

took the diary to the police.

Why aren't we looking for the grandmother then?

Because she's dead.

I get the feeling Valdominos isn't telling the truth.

What's up, Garduño?

Here?

When?

I'll send you the location.

Why's Garduño coming, Selso?

No idea.

"Check notebook."

"See Pablo Valdominos, the professor".

"Talk to him and get it over with".

"Make sure nobody sees you".

-Tiring journey, wasn't it? -It certainly was!

Wouldn't you like a nice bath to unwind?

-Will you soap my back? -No way!

I'd probably doze off in the tub!

Go on. Relax in the tub,

while I pop into the village to grab a nice bottle of wine.

OK, but come back soon.

I'll finish unpacking.

Diego.

Why are you here, Garduño?

Good morning, Jimena. Good morning, Zampayo.

-Good morning. Why are you here? -To check on your progress.

-Did Tolsa reassign you? -What did you find in the files?

We won't find anything there.

Jimena questioned the school principal.

I thought you were off the case, aren't you?

Jimena, I didn't come here just to say hello.

What did he say? What's his name?

Pablo Valdominos. He also suffers from amnesia.

Give me the address.

-What for? -To pay him a visit.

Witnesses cooperate when they're facing a real policeman.

Why don't you ask the villagers? They all know him. Let's go.

What's the address?

It's a green house behind the church.

I couldn't do it.

Raúl, it's me, Garduño.

Run a search for license plate 098-EN.

098-EN, yes.

Got anything?

What do you mean nothing? No name? Nothing?

I see.

Yes, before digitization began.

OK.

Mom, please. You never forget a student. Tell me.

Jimena, that was the time we left the village.

You don't get it, mom! This girl went through hell

and I need to know who did it.

I need to know how it all fits in with The Cat.

It's the last missing piece.

Gabriel!

What do you know about Rebeca Marín?

What?

What would he know? He never set foot in that school.

-Leave him alone, Jimena. -Gabriel?

-What do you know about Rebeca? -I don't know who she is.

See?

You didn't know anything about the Salvadorans either.

I told you, Jimena, I don't know who she is.

Listen up, Gabriel.

If you had anything to do with it, The Cat will come after you.

Look, I just threw a stone, that's all. Leave me alone!

Why don't you ever let him speak?

Keep me out of it.

We told you everything we know.

Stop harassing us!

If you can't find the culprit, don't take it out on us.

Right. Since you don't trust me,

you'll have to talk to the police.

Shall we get it over with, or shall I get a court order?

Jimena.

Shall I get one?

You wouldn't.

Try me.

KILL

KILL

Are you there, my love?

Yes, I'm here, Nuri.

And the wine?

Well, they only had beer.

In these villages you find good pulque, good mezcal, but...

They told me there's a place downtown that sells good wine.

Well, we can also make do just fine without wine.

Come on, I'd like to show you the village. It's really nice.

OK. I'll get dressed.

We lived here from 2000 to 2003, right?

Didn't we?

Yes.

Rebeca committed suicide in 2006.

2006. Angel's lynching was in 2004.

So, the two events are unrelated.

Or do you see a connection?

Here's The Cat's motive.

If we find out what Rebeca was doing at that time,

we can find a connection.

Do you know what happened to Rebeca during this time?

Professor Valdominos said she wasn't at school anymore.

Who knows. She must have found a job somewhere,

like everyone else.

Gabriel?

I... uh... I don't know...

she killed herself, didn't she? That's all I know.

Satisfied? Can I go back to my things now?

Do you know when Bonete started investing in Asunción?

That was later, around 2009.

How did he get the funds?

Nobody knows.

We've all wondered.

He went from the orphan we all took under our wing

to being our protector.

Nobody knows how he made his money.

No.

Some say he won the lottery,

others say he had a talent for business.

Yes.

But it's his business, isn't it?

Did you know he ordered the demolition of the burned house?

He's in on everything, in Asunción de La Sal.

Mateo and the others always keep him informed.

About everything.

What's your relationship with him?

Enough! Enough embarrassment for today.

Mom, why do you get so upset?

I'm your daughter, for God's sake

Exactly, and I'm your mother.

I deserve some respect, if only because of my age.

You know what, Jimena? Go.

If you come back with a court order, so be it.

But for now, get out of my house.

Forgive us, Jime.

What a lovely place!

Stand over there, I'll take a picture. Go!

Greetings!

Good.

-Should've put my glasses on. -No, you look great.

Hello.

It's odd, isn't it? Such friendly people.

Yes.

This is routine work, but here... please keep quiet.

Gutiérrez. Can you hear me?

I need you to check the files on the gun

I sent you in the photo.

Especially if it was stored in that registry office

that was set on fire.

Yes, did you get that?

Yes, yes.

According to this here,

Rebeca and her grandmother lived here.

Do you recognize it?

I lived here for three years, and don't remember anything.

No, not just yet...

It's just that... It's a secret, Jime.

Rebeca!

-Rebeca, wait. -See you later.

Jimena.

-Lemon for me. -And Jamaica for me.

Have you got fries with...

I'll have enchilada then.

-Garduño. -You're right, Garduño.

That pistol was in safekeeping at the Registry Office

-the day of the fire. -Copy.

Francisco Pira. Our golden bachelor...

It's been so long. Hey, I heard about you quitting.

That was a bold move.

Pira, the great inquisitor,

ditching the channel that made him famous.

What happened?

Did they take away your exclusivity?

Let's just say I was lost, and I'm trying to find myself.

It was about time, to be honest.

How are you?

You know, the same old.

You know this almost cost me my life?

Yes, I know.

I appreciate you sharing this information with me.

This stuff is more sensitive than ever.

Had I released it now, I wouldn't be alive.

You need to be really careful. What do you need it for?

I'm investigating something

and this might be the key to what I'm looking for.

Your old self is back again!

Ah, you haven't changed.

-It's so we can raise a toast. -OK.

Thanks.

-Here's to seeing you again. -Cheers.

What's that?

A reminder about the wine.

"I couldn't do it, check the notebook."

Notebook? What notebook? Why have you written it there?

It's a notebook where I write down all my to-do's,

my appointments and some places

where we can find good wine in this town.

OK, well.

If we want to see the sunset from that viewpoint

we'd better get going, right?

Let's go.

DO YOU REMEMBER ME?

Think anyone will call?

Somebody out there must have a guilty conscience, Zampayo.

Someone's got to come forward.

Another Gabriel?

You know what I think?

Everybody in the village knows, but no one will talk.

Zampayo speaking. What now?

Since when?

-Yes, thanks. -What is it?

Tolsá was fired today. Shit!

In my report I focused on missing women in Mexico

and their relatives.

-Yes, I remember. -There was more to it,

but I had to stop because they sent me a warning,

that if I kept on digging, they would kill me.

Take a look.

There are names, addresses and files on each case.

Thanks.

Enough.

What's wrong?

You've been acting weird since The Cat thing.

Hey.

I understand. It was a shocking experience.

I'm just stressed, and I've got a lot going on.

Who was it?

Jonás. I'm fed up with his requests for money.

Fancy some tea? It'll help you relax.

I'll make you a tea.

Jacob, now is not a good time. I can't talk!

I'm sorry for what you're going through, but it's over.

Jonás can see you whenever, I won't stand in the way.

Jacob, I'm not coming back.

Jacob, right? Listen, Jacob. Sara's my woman now.

If you keep on pestering her, I'll smash your face.

Got it? Don't call again.

Thanks.

Do you take me for a fool?

How long have you been seeing each other on the sly?

Weren't you listening?

I just told him I'm not going back to him.

He's here, isn't he?

He came here to convince you, the bastard.

No Olmo, no.

How many times have you met behind my back?

My love...

You... are... mine. Remember it.

Did you feed the pussycat?

They're going to find your fingerprints, Pascual.

Why didn't you clean me up better?

Oh, my head.

I cleaned him well.

I cleaned him really well.

I used all the chlorine.

We have a 99% DNA match.

What are you going to do?

Catch him.

On your own?

You'll get that deposit tomorrow. Stay quiet about it.

CMDR. MARTÍN TOLSA OPERATING DIRECTOR

No! The deadline's not up yet.

We had a week.

I let you down.

I let you down.

No, Jimena, it's my fault. I let things get out of hand.

Why didn't they give us more time?

Because someone here wants to take advantage of this.

The missing bloodstain was a clear sign.

-Garduño. -Yes.

He wants a promotion and this office.

He told the Secretary I was hiding evidence.

Has he been appointed yet?

Yes. I've just been informed.

It will be made official in a few hours.

I thought I was an old hand,

but that ass kisser was scheming all this time,

and I was none the wiser.

Promise me you won't be intimidated by Garduño.

And promise me, please promise, that you'll find The Cat.

If anyone can do it, it's you, Jimena.

What are you going to do?

Go back to Morella. Be with my kids.

What are you going to do for a living?

I'll come up with something.

You might find me selling perfume at a mall.

My gun?

Damn. Did I put it in here or not?

Where did you go?

For a walk.

No lies, Pascual. Where did you go?

Just around the lobby.

I couldn't sleep, and didn't want to wake you up.

I saw you drive away. Are you going to tell me now?

I had some unfinished business. Nothing important.

I've had more than my fair share of lies in my life.

If you can't tell me truth, find someone who doesn't care.

Another one I liked... this one!

Yeah.

All of them should have won.

What's up mom?

If Olmo comes for me, say I'm gone.

Gone where?

To Miami or wherever. I don't want to see him again.

They call it "The Brick Club", Judge Duarte was a member.

They get together once a week to play poker,

they do business, they cover each other,

they put pressure on authorities...

I know it's hard to prove, but I've got evidence suggesting

that they do things that are far worse.

No, I can't tell you over the phone.

I'm actually calling to ask you to help me

track some of them down.

I know you have connections with some of them,

like Senator Machado. Ring a bell?

Or Secretary Hinojosa?

I know it's dangerous,

but someone has to tell the truth.

OK. I appreciate it.

Dad.

What's wrong, child?

Thanks for everything, but we're going back to Miami.

When?

As soon as possible.

I want to get back with Jacob.

I hope it's for the better.

I'm going to miss you, both.

Are you ok? Did something happen?

Nothing.

I just realized that coming here was a mistake.

I'm coming back home today. Will I be in time to catch you?

-For a proper goodbye? -Yes dad, we'll be here.

See you soon!

They're leaving!

They're leaving!

You are kidding me, right?

There's no way. I'm staying. Why do I have to go back?

You'll do as I say.

First you told me to give up everything I had there.

My friends, my life...

now we go back, just because you feel like it?

No way in hell.

Jonás, we just got here, don't be ridiculous.

It's not my fault if things didn't work out for you.

Go back if you want, I'm staying here.

Really? Who with? Where are you going to live?

I can stay with Pascual.

With Pascual. You think he'll take care of you.

He can't even take care of himself.

At least he's not drunk all day long.

Shall we?

It doesn't look like The Cat's doing.

-There's no message. -Nor gunshots.

He used a gun for all his killings.

No, he strangled Priscila.

There are no signs of violence in this one.

Let's wait for the coroner's report.

-Shall I call him? -Yes.

Is that how you found him?

I'm so sorry.

Go see Carmelo.

-Carmelo? -Take the path to the oak grove,

there's a curve to the right.

Who is he, Ana?

The one who had Rebeca locked up all that time.

In other news,

Alonso Carvajal, owner of Altas Cumbres,

also known for his shady affairs in politics,

yes, the man who got caught up in the Altas Cumbres scandal,

is set to spend...

Jonás,

his first night in a Mexican prison.

She's in her room.

The prosecution warned

that the states have the capacity to...

At the end, on the right.

Sara, my love.

Olmo, go away.

You shouldn't have come, I don't want to see you.

Please, forgive me. Sometimes, when I get annoyed,

I lose my cool and...

Don't leave me.

You got very aggressive, I didn't like it.

I lost it, OK?

I thought you were leaving me for Jacob.

Sara, I can't live without you, my love.

Yes, you can. It's best for both of us.

Sara.

Please. You shouldn't have come. Please go!

-I promise you I'll change. -You're scaring me.

-Open the door, Sara. -No. I won't.

I'll talk to you once you're calm.

Damn it, Sara! What more do you want?

I've said I'm sorry,

-I put up with your boozing... -And what?

-Let's go home. -Let go.

Let her go!

-Or what? -Or I'll smash your face.

-Jonás. -What?

Keep out of it.

-Stop! -Hey! I'm coming with you.

I want to talk, too.

Wait here.

I can handle this. Let's go.

Wait here.

-Hi. -Hi.

You took long.

Sorry, Matías. It won't happen again.

There's somebody who wants to meet you.

-Who? -He's like a brother.

If you want to be with me, you have to be with him.

But you're my boyfriend, not him.

Right. And as your boyfriend

and husband-to-be, you have to obey me.

Shall we talk later?

We'd better end this now.

Please, Nuri, give me a chance.

I really like you, Pascual, really, but what can we do?

You're more interested in guarding your secrets,

than you are in our relationship.

The only thing I can say is that you need to trust me...

You can trust me.

You have to trust me.

Goodbye, Pascual.

Get in the car!

Where are we going?

Start the car, I'll tell you.
