[Gaby] Yeah, show off those muscles.
There we go. That's it.
Stay there, just like that.
That's right, seduce me.
Smile. That's it.
I love it.
Look down a little. Good.
Now look at me. That's it.
This calendar will be a hit.
I'll tell you about my other ideas later.
Sure.

Poncho, are you OK?
You're going to miss
your first real emergency, bro.
Come on.

Please, someone get me out of here!

AMBULANCE
I'll cover you.
Thank you.
You saved my life.
Thank you.
I was just doing my job, ma'am.
I know who you are.
I know everything about you,
Poncho Quiroga.
I need to tell you
what the dead can no longer say.
We need to get revenge
for your brother Daniel.
No!
Please!
Get away from the door!
I should have been
the father of these kids.
But I wasn't.
You chose wrong.
I didn't want it to come to this.
But you forced me.
If they can't be mine,
they won't be anyone's.
POSSIBLE NEW VICTIM
OF THE BUTCHER DE REYNOSA
Hey, Dani.
I was thinking that, one of these days,
you should come with me to the club, man.
Maybe you'll meet a girl or
I mean, fucking every now and then
will be good for you.
Actually, I'm pretty worried about you.
Bro, life isn't about staring
at your computer all day.
OK?
What's wrong?
[Daniel] I don't have evidence
but I'm sure,
they're following me.
Look, all these emotions
and all that adrenaline
are making you imagine things.
No, I'm not imagining things.
I don't live alone, man!
- If anything happens to my brother
- OK, how about this.
If you want out let me know.
I'll keep going.
But I won't put Poncho at risk, or me.
Do you think I could be a firefighter?
A firefighter?
Who the hell wants to be a firefighter?
Can you answer my question?
Depends how long your hose is.
You don't take anything seriously, man.
It's just a joke, bro.
Dani.
Seriously.
Of course I think
you could be a firefighter.
Between the two of us,
you're the one
who always reaches his goals.
Take a shower, you smell of alcohol.
Don't make that face,
I'm your big brother.
Why do you like saying that so much?
You're older by one minute.
One minute.
Dani, wait.
Hey, are you OK?
Need my help with anything?
See you soon.
Hello?
Yeah, now's a good time,
Poncho isn't around.
Heading to my car, why?
I'm on my way.
No, no one suspects anything.
No! I haven't said anything to my brother.
Leave Poncho out of all this.
That was the deal.
- Dani.
- I have to go.
Bro.
I'm sorry, but I can't leave it alone.
I feel like you weren't telling
the truth in there, man.
What's wrong?
So, now you can read my mind?
We're twins, but not identical twins.
If something was going on,
you'd tell me, right?
I'll tell you tonight.
What is it, Dani? Why won't you tell me?
Don't leave me like this.
See you tonight.
Plus, I want you to meet someone.
A girl?
Bro.
Nice!
Where did you meet her?
And don't tell me online, man.
That would be the last straw.

You got 25 years for starting shit, man.
There are no debts that go unpaid
and no sentences that go unserved.
Cross your fingers so you get
a cellmate who's neater than I am.
Now what? Off to Mexico?
Yep.
In Mexico, there are
two very important people
I have to surprise.
Plus,
I'm gonna do what I've always loved:
putting on my old uniform
and fighting fires.
Who the hell would hire someone
to be a firefighter when instead of water
they have blood on their hands?
[Ángel] Move it! Quickly, guys.
Line up.
I said quickly.
Attention!
Attention!
Julián, Molina. One step forward.
Sir.
I will not tolerate any more tardiness.
- Got it?
- Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Roll call, then we'll get

We need to make three groups to check
the emergency units.
Yes, sir.

Your head is all over the place, Molina.
Go clean the cistern, go on.
What's up with the boss?
He's acting weird.
Boss, I would like a moment.
- I have
- Impossible, Gerardo.
I have meetings all morning.
I told you I don't want
your girlfriend hanging around.
OK.

Hello?
[Julian] Can you believe him?

Smoking reduces testosterone levels.
Did you see low testosterone levels
up there onstage?
Well, based on your show,
I'd say this is your first one.
Let's say I'm an occasional smoker.
Or your testosterone is indestructible.
Let's find out.
How?
My house is two blocks away.
I don't fuck with strangers.
Really?
You just like to see them naked.
The same old thing bores me.
Wait.
OK, at least tell me your name.
I'm Poncho.
If I told you, we wouldn't be strangers.
Dani. Are you awake?
Dani?
Now, what were you going to tell me?
Dani.
[window closes]
Daniel?
[line rings]
[Daniel] You have reached the phone
of Daniel Quiroga.
Leave a message after the beep.
[sirens blare]
[phone buzzes]
UNKNOWN
Daniel?
Who is this?
Yeah, that's me.
Yes, he's my brother.
Who is this?
MORGUE
[officer] Are you ready?
Yes.
[sobs]
[officer] Is this your brother?
[sighs]
Hold on.
- Excuse me?
- Want to know how your brother died?
Follow me.
I don't know what you want.
I don't have time for this.
- I have to talk to the police.
- No.
I'm the only person who can give you
the answers the cops won't give you.
Your brother was murdered
and the police looks into
the family members as the first suspects.
So come with me.
What?
Come with me. Let's go, let's go.
I'm a journalist.
My name is Elías Solórzano.
I worked with your brother Daniel
at Red Global.
I wanted to write a story
on the 25 years
since the Butcher of Reynosa.
It was a dark case,
in the 90's.
This crazy guy was intent
on killing all over the place.
Yeah, but what does all this
have to do with my brother?
Everything.
I asked him to help me look
into a file at the DA's office.
One of my sources tipped me off.
He said I might be able
to get more information
at a fire station in Cuauhtémoc.
It's called
the Raúl Padilla Arellano Fire Station.
- Do you know it?
- No.
According to my source,
the commanding officer of the station
is somehow involved in the case.
I asked Daniel to talk with the suspect,
Artemio Román.
That's his name.
Román and Ricardo knew each other
since they were young.
They were very close friends.
Do you swear
that Daniel never told you
about any of this?
His mission was to talk to him,
to see if somehow
he could bring up the crimes
of the Butcher of Reynosa.
That would be our scoop,
for the anniversary of the case.
But
unfortunately
Daniel
[Daniel] I'm being followed.
I'm not imagining things.
Every time I enter or leave my house,
there's a car outside,
with the lights off.
And it's the same fucking car every day.
Your brother was at the station yesterday,
investigating Artemio Román.
Look, he took some pictures.
We were going to meet, but he
didn't make it.
I think the Butcher of Reynosa
or someone who knows him
is behind your brother's death.
This asshole, wherever he is,
felt threatened.
And I unwillingly exposed your brother
and put him in danger.
I know a lot about you.
I know that you and Daniel
grew up in an orphanage.
It wasn't by chance
that you were born in Reynosa
and that you were orphaned.
You have to know
how your mom died.
It isn't the story they told you.
[Ricardo] Where are you, Flor?
Daniel knew everything about your parents.
You don't know anything about my life.
- I never had any parents.
- Let go off me!
[groans]
Wait!
Everything I've told you is true.
I don't know who the hell you are.
And I don't understand all the shit
you've told me in there.
All I know is that my brother is dead
and the only people
who can help me are the police.
- The cops
- You're just wasting my time.
The police won't do anything.
They didn't do anything 20 years ago,
they won't do anything now.
Don't trust them.
I'm telling you this for a reason.
Now you have to help me
get to the bottom of all this.
If you want revenge for your brother,
become a firefighter.
Join that brigade.
Infiltrate.
Follow the orders of Artemio Román.
Remember, Artemio Román.
Investigate what that guy
has to do with all this.
Make him talk.
That was your brother's plan.
Your own family
is up to their necks in this.
Bye.

[Ángel] We cannot afford,
under any circumstances,
to go out without checking
all the vehicles.
Do you understand?
Go check them, then.
OK, then you three
go back and check it out.
You go to the kitchen and you two
already know what you have to do.
Yes?
Can I help you?
I'm ready.
For?
Our meeting, honey.
Sorry to interrupt,
but I'm in charge of organizing
the anniversary party
for the station
and there's still so much to do.
Gloria Carmona, widow of Padilla.
I'm the owner of the boarding house
around the corner.
The best boarding house for girls
in the area.
I'm not the only one saying that.
My husband, may he rest in peace,
this station is named after him.
I've known all these "finefighters"
their whole lives.
So, whatever you need.
- See you inside?
- OK.
Thanks, Ángel.
If you need information,
come into the office.
But you can't stay here.
Mr. Testosterone.
- The girl who doesn't bang strangers.
- That's me.
Are you following me?
- No, I'm not following you.
- What are you doing here?
- I could ask you the same thing.
- I work here.
I'm a firefighter.
Are you following me?
- Are you following me?
- I'm not following you, damn it!
Sorry.
I didn't mean to raise my voice.
You look sexier when you smile.
I'm looking for a journalist
who works here.
I'm looking for Daniel Quiroga.
Do you need to talk to Daniel?
Yes.
Do you know where I can find him?
It's very important.
Daniel
is my son.
No one told you?
Daniel was murdered yesterday.
[panting]
[Elias] That's it.
It's here.
Don't be scared,
I'm not going to harm you.

Clear the area.
Clear the area!
Get the foam ready.
- Quickly, quickly!
- Come on, quick!
Look for any wounded people.
Check the adjoining structures to see
if they've been damaged by the explosion.
Quickly!
Officer, how many people
were there in the car?
Two, according to the witness.
The witness identified
Elías Solórzano and Artemio Román
as the people
who died in the explosion.
What happened to Artemio Román?
We're trying to confirm that information.

Can I go now?
Why didn't you tell us your brother was
the journalist murdered yesterday?
Because I still can't believe it happened.
- Can I go now?
- Not so fast.
How about we talk a little bit more
about your brother?
I have nothing else to say about that.
We'll be in touch.
RAÚL PADILLA ARELLANO FIRE STATION
And the sorry dog is back again.
I just wanted to know how they were.
How do you think they are,
if their boss just got murdered?
- Mayte is with Gerardo?
- Yes. She's comforting her boyfriend.
I guess that's one of the duties
of a girlfriend.
But you wouldn't know.
You've never been with anyone.
Let me take a look.
I think your studying celestial bodies
is a big lie
to study other kind of bodies.
Like this one, for example.
It's so toned up.
But so depressed.
Come here, Daddy.
I'll wipe off
that sadness of yours in no time.
Stop it, Rosario.
Gosh!
- I think you got caught.
- [Gloria] Girls!
Girls!
I need you to come downstairs now!
Now, girls.

IN MEMORY OF THOSE DEAD ON DUTY
We must do something
for those boys.
We must make them feel
the joy of life again.
I have some ideas
to make them feel that joy.
What about a condolence card
from all of us living in the guesthouse?
We need to cheer them up,
Penélope, not put them to sleep.
I think a card
is a beautiful gesture, honey.
I can give them
the blanket I'm knitting as a gift.
Don't you find one blanket
for all of them is a bit unsanitary?
There's actually only one recipient
for this blanket, Mom.
You must tell me everything later.
Help me arrange some snacks on a tray.
Does it have to be now?
Do firefighters ask that
when the horn goes off?
Right now! Come on.
[Daniel] I'll tell you tonight.
Plus, I want you to meet someone.
[Elias] Remember, Artemio Román.
Investigate what that guy
has to do with all this.
[man] To finish the report,
we just need the Lieutenant
to sign and that's it.
- Great, thanks.
- No problem.
This is no coincidence.
Can we talk?
I'd love to, but I don't mix
business with pleasure.
- It's not that.
- Don't!
I'm sorry. Does the name
Daniel Quiroga sound familiar?
He came here a while ago.
No.
Should it?
Daniel Quiroga.
- Yes.
- He came to talk to the boss.
- Why?
- Yes. Do you know what they talked about?
What are you doing here?
- Do you know each other?
- He was at the scene where the boss died.
Were you following him or what?
- What? No, I wasn't.
- Why are you wandering around the station?
What do you want? What's your name?
- His name's Alfonso.
- Alfonso Carrasco.
OK, Alfonso Carrasco,
why the hell are you here?
[Elias] Infiltrate. Join that brigade.
Well
I want to become a firefighter.
Are there any vacancies?
