1 And then she says to me, "Oh, she likes being to be kept."

- Can you imagine? - Desserts! Flan! Jello!

Get your jello!

Are you well?

Sorry. I skipped breakfast.

Get some rubbing alcohol!

WE WERE KINGS

INCOMING CALL MOM

When are you going to answer?

She must be really worried.

{n8}Listen,

{n8}sometimes we don't know how to take care of our family.

We end up making them hate us.

Nora loves you, princess.

Never doubt that.

Lately, Mom's been really rude.

And not just with you.

I don't have anyone to talk to.

And I'm going through a really hard time.

So...

Maybe you could give me some advice?

Unless it's advice on how to do everything wrong,

I don't know what I could tell you.

Tell me how to raise a child alone.

I'd like to tell you something,

but I'm not sure you'll understand.

I understand more than you think.

Promise you won't tell anyone?

I'm pregnant.

That's great.

I don't even know if I'm going to keep it.

What about my brother?

Will you tell him?

Don't you care about Javo?

I love him.

That's the problem.

I love him more than I thought.

But the truth is that I'm 40 years old

and I find myself living with a 23-year-old guy

who I never planned to be serious with, let alone start a family.

If you love him, it doesn't matter.

It's not that simple.

Well then,

whether you keep it or not, I think Javo needs to know.

That fucking paraffin test.

Or a ballistics test.

It would have cleared it all up.

I'm so dumb.

No. You're not dumb, Reyes.

Maybe you wanted to play dumb, which isn't the same.

Arresting Javo is not going to bring Santos back.

And how would your mom react?

Or Herminia?

Or Heidi?

The people who love him.

Plus, you're forgetting the key thing.

You don't know that it was Javo.

I can turn a blind eye on the Taiguer thing.

He stole a fucking car, that's it.

He was desperate. He didn't hurt anyone.

But this is different.

I can't let him land on his feet as always.

There are only two truths here.

There's one

that everyone out there knows,

that everyone believes.

And the one you and I suspect.

There are lots of pending cases, Mike.

And this one is already closed.

Thank God you're finally here. You have to help me find your brother.

Grandma, calm down.

The judicial police took him.

Judicial police? No. I sent those officers myself.

You sent them to arrest your own brother?

It wasn't technically an arrest.

Good God, Miguel. I don't know how you could do that.

You were so close as children.

I know that the kidnapping was wrong, but it wasn't his fault.

What kidnapping?

What are you talking about?

The kidnapping of Mrs. Alicia.

Javo kidnapped Alicia?

Oh, no.

You need to tell me everything right now.

But you need to swear you won't hurt your brother.

Pick up, please!

Fercho and I have been kidnapped.

Was that a gunshot?

Is Alicia okay?

Javo says she's still alive,

but who knows how long she can hold on.

All right.

You want me to help Javo rescue Alicia

without the police or Mom knowing?

This is not Javo's fault.

They forced him.

They threatened to hurt the whole family.

"This is not Javo's fault!"

It's never his fault, right?

You want me to break the law, risk losing my career, and going to jail

to protect your favorite grandson.

He'd do the same for you.

Baby Santos and I are being taken care of, Mom.

I'm waiting for you.

I miss you both.

- I need to go. They're serving dinner. - They? They who?

Is everything okay?

Thanks.

These beans may not as good as your mom's, but they're made with love.

- Bon appétit. - Thanks, you too.

Javo?

Babe.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Just storing some paint.

I want to show you something.

How did you know I wanted it?

This brain of mine is not always of much use...

but it remembers perfectly everything about you.

THANKS FOR THE MIRACLES

I love you, you know?

You can feel it, right?

What about you?

I hate you.

I hate that I can't hate you.

That's funny, because I only love you.

Is that right?

Okay. Say it louder.

I love you!

I want to hear you say it louder.

I love you, damn it!

TAIGUER'S JUNKYARD

What the hell, man?

Where did you get that?

They're not real. I bought them from Zacarías.

This is crazy, Javo.

We'll get killed.

I promised my grandma, but if you want out, I get it.

Well, I made promises too.

I promised your old man that I would look after you.

Then grab your vest.

Only use it if there's trouble.

Stay alert.

Two days ago, there were gunshots.

Did you hear them?

Thank you.

I'm investigating some gunshots people heard.

Gunshots?

No.

Police! Hands where I can see them!

That bullet hit me.

Police!

No.

Uncle! Taiguer!

It's my uncle, man!

It's okay, Uncle.

Taiguer.

Javo?

He needs a hospital. My car's over there. Here.

Taiguer, stay calm. It's okay, Taiguer. Let's walk.

Breathe.

Be honest.

How long do you think she has?

Sorry to interrupt, boss.

Why are you here, Pitbull?

I said to clean the house.

It's about that. Something happened at the safe house.

There were cops there.

It was her fucking daughter.

...for any vehicle manufactured locally or abroad...

Dear Uncle Taiguer,

I made you some coffee and cleaned the bathroom

so you can shower more often. Haha.

Just a joke.

I'm giving you back your bed, so you can finally rest.

Like I promised, I'll go back to school, and then go and see my mom.

Code nine, Ortega. Gunshot wound. Critical condition.

It's my uncle.

I'm going to the nearest hospital.

I'll never forget what you did for me.

You let me stay in your tree house, and you said some really nice things.

I hope you don't mind that I tidied up the place.

It is the least I could do to thank you.

Miguelito.

I won't make it to the hospital.

Stop the car!

Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

I promise to visit you often with baby Santos.

Don't do this, man. Let's go to the hospital.

Forget about the hospital. I won't make it.

Plus, what would we say at the hospital?

I don't care if they arrest you.

I love you lots.

Heidi.

Take me to the junkyard.

I want to die there.

Miguel Ángel, I need you to listen to me.

I'm not going to make it.

But you two still have the chance to fix things.

Don't mess up like we did.

Who is "we"?

My brother Miguel Ángel and I.

Miguel Ángel...

I need you to listen.

You need to help your brother rescue that old lady.

Why me? Why don't you tell him to go straight?

Because I have no authority over him.

But I do over you.

Because you are my son, Miguel.

Taiguer.

Taiguer.

- No. No. - Taiguer.

My baby, my boy, my darling.

I've missed you so much, my baby. You tiny thing, you.

I'm sorry, honey.

I'm sorry.

Tell me where you've been the past few days.

With my uncle.

You went all the way to my brother's?

No. With Taiguer.

What? Taiguer?

That criminal?

What do you mean, Mom?

Exactly what I said. He's a criminal.

He let us stay, and he fed baby Santos and I.

Plus,

we got to talking about life

and he taught me a lot.

Like what? How to break into cars?

No, Mom.

He told me I had to come back home. For you.

For baby Santos.

And most of all, for myself.

So I can go back to school.

I came back because of him.

What is it? There, there.

I'm so sorry about Taiguer, man.

He was a good guy.

I'll handle it. I'll talk to the chief to keep you and your brother out of it.

Uncle loved this car.

I mean... Taiguer.

That's true.

His pride and joy.

His Camaro Bad Boy 1973.

I'm sorry, brother.

Maybe if I had told you sooner.

Tell me what?

Tell me that you were in a kidnapping ring?

No, man.

Believe it or not, I was forced to.

I just wanted to protect our family. I fucked up, yes.

And I fucked up even more trying to fix it.

And then I got into more and more trouble.

What kind of family are we, man?

A family like any other, Mike. Riddled with secrets and lies.

You only have to dig a little.

Man,

brother to brother.

I need you to give me a hand, Mike.

You promised your...

Taiguer.

Say it. You meant "your father."

In fact, add this.

"Your father, who, on his deathbed,

asked you to help me."

I'm a cop. What do you want me to do?

Give up my career, my morals, and go down with you?

I know you're a cop, Mike.

And I admire your integrity.

I'll speak honestly. You know I'm no coward.

If you want to arrest me after this, go ahead.

But help me save Alicia.

Are you sure?

- I think so, boss. - Hold on.

It's not a good time. What do you want?

Sorry, boss, but I need to tell you something.

Go ahead.

I heard my brother, who's a cop,

tell a colleague of his that they're looking for the old lady.

Get it?

They went to Xalpita to rescue her,

and there was a shootout.

One of them died.

I wanted to warn you, boss.

They are tracking her. Someone told them.

Trust me. I want to be a part of this.

Come by tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Don't underestimate him.

Venegas is no fool.

He always has his thugs to protect him.

Hold on.

Look.

What is this?

They call him Pitbull.

He's the one who killed Taiguer.

And that chick

is Venegas' girl.

No way.

With this...

this Pitbull guy is dead and buried.

Leave it to us. That's what the law is for.

This is not about the law anymore, don't be an idiot.

This isn't even about saving Alicia from a criminal anymore.

We need to avenge Taiguer.

Avenge your father.

He might have been my father,

but I want justice, not vengeance.

Fine.

Then we go our separate ways.

I don't do paperwork or bureaucracy.

Let's go tell Mom.

Mom.

- I'll get you some dinner. - No.

Come on in.

Good evening, Mom.

Why is he here?

It's just...

Something bad happened. We wanted to tell you together.

What? What happened?

Taiguer was killed.

- What? When? - What? Taiguer?

What happened?

What was it?

He got mugged.

This isn't possible.

Good Lord!

What?

I want you to know I'm sorry for your loss.

My family doesn't know I'm here, so...

You understand.

I will be discreet.

So you want to claim the body and handle the funeral arrangements.

I don't want him sent to a mass grave.

I know it's expensive,

but I'll find some money to bury him.

It won't be luxurious,

but it will be dignified.

Taiguer was aware of his sins, Nora.

He knew that when this time came...

Well...

He'd say that even in death, he'd be a lone wolf.

As it happens,

he gave me these papers years ago.

He gave them to me so he wouldn't bother you.

That dumbass. He didn't want to bother anybody.

He bought his own place at the San Nicolás cemetery.

He even left a headstone.

No date of death, of course, since he couldn't know that.

He bought the plot next to his brother.

And one for you.

He wanted to be close to you for eternity.

He also bought plots for the boys and for Heidi.

So you'd stay together on the other side.

You were the love of his life.

What's up, Chano?

Morning, boss.

Guess what, Javo?

Sonia wired me the money to a secure account

in one of those shithole islands in South America or God knows where.

I have a guy for these things.

He checked. He said everything is fine.

I have my million dollars now.

Congratulations, boss.

All that's left is a little transaction,

and my cash will be here in two days.

I'll buy you tacos.

Okay, sure.

Taiguer's idea ended up working out.

We'll release the old lady today.

What about you?

Will you finish the job? Or are you too scared?

You know I can handle myself.

I can be helpful as a getaway driver.

We met because of your truck.

Plus, when I drive, no one can catch me.

Very well.

You will be the designated driver.

I'd like to check that the van is good. I am a mechanic, you know?

Come on, Javo. Don't be so full of yourself.

Shut up, Pitbull.

Someone wants to do things right for once, and you act like a jealous bitch.

Keep it up, Javo.

You have a future.

These fucking crackheads are useless.

Why, boss? You know I always...

Fuck! Now you're questioning my decisions?

- No, boss. But why do you want this... - Listen, dumbass.

Do you need me to spell it out?

If something goes wrong, the one who goes down is Javo.

I don't trust that guy.

- I better go... - That guy is not making it alive.

If the cops don't get him,

I'll kill him myself.

SEND TO: VENEGAS

SENT

NEW MESSAGE

FROM: UNKNOWN

I injected her with what you told me.

Take her to the place.

If Sonia hasn't called by 9:30, that means she's calling the police.

In that case,

cut her head off and send it to her.

Open this door, today's the day!

Yes, sir.

Chano, you go with Javo.

No surprises, or you'll pay!

Come on, assholes! Follow him!

Come on, Chano, you slowpoke!

Hurry, asshole!

Fucking shit!

Come on, fucking hurry.

Hell yeah!

We are almost there, lady.

It will all be okay.

Just hold on.

These fucking assholes.

Mike, answer your fucking phone!

Fuck, Mike!

Baby, I need you.

I don't know who else to call. I'm at the junkyard.

Is she dead?

I don't know.

Fucking shit!

I never wanted to kidnap her, I swear. They made me do it.

Who? Why?

I stole a truck to get the money to pay for your house.

But it belonged to a kidnapper.

He threatened to kill my whole family.

- I'm a piece of shit! - Javo, it's okay. You're not.

I'm a piece of shit.

I'm a traitor, a liar. A Judas.

Forgive me, babe.

What are you doing?

- Here. - No.

Take it!

Take it! You swore!

Swore what? What are you talking about?

I killed Santos.

It was an accident, you have to believe me.

That night,

Santos did see us in the bathroom.

And I told him the truth.

That you and I were together. That I loved you.

That I can't live without you.

I tried to take the gun from him...

You're a murderer!

Calm down, babe.

You murdered my boy! You killed my Santos!

You're the one who should be dead, not my son!

You murderer!

I didn't have the balls to tell you the truth.

I regret ever having met you.

From this day on...

you and I are enemies.

Mrs. Alicia?

I'll take her to the hospital.
