Was it really so hard for you
to help me become a mother?
If you had just taken the deal,
you'd be in an IVF clinic right now.
You were this close
to becoming a wealthy woman.
But now you'll have to pay
for making me infertile.
[woman]how and why this all happened!
[indistinct shouting]
You're crazy! Let go of me!
[car hissing]

Please, how many times
do I have to apologize?
Take her back.

You owe me this.
The both of you.
- [tense dramatic music playing]
- [moaning]
You always liked Perla more than me.
I'm sure it won't be so bad.
[panting passionately]
If you don't do this,
what I'll do to her will be much worse.
[shuddering]
No. No, please!
What are you going to do to me?
- [Perla whimpers]
- [bottle clatters]
Thank you. Thank you. Please, forgive me.
Thank you.
[dramatic music swelling]
- [music stops]
- I'm sorry.
[ominous music playing]
Why the hell
didn't you accept your sister's offer?

SISTERS' FEUD
[music fades]
[birds chirping]
[Perla] I'm paying the price for falling
in love with my sister's husband.
I know what I did on her wedding day
[shuddering]
was unforgivable.
This though
[whimpering]
This is evil!
[sobbing]
This is foul!
We have to get revenge on those bastards.
No, we can't, Efraín.
Bernardo and Antonia, we
- They're they're too powerful.
- Doesn't matter, I have to do something!
I'm not a police officer for nothing!
She forgave Bernardo,
of course, he owns the mine.
But she will never forgive me!
I'm just her sister.
I was raped today.
But once they feel like it,
they'll have me murdered.
I know people at the DA's office
that can help us out.
- Accept that there's nothing we can do.
- Of course, there's something we can do.
- No, you don't know them.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Are you pregnant?
[ominous music playing]
[music fades]
FAMILY PLANNING CLINIC
- Hi.
- Hello.
I have an appointment with Dr. Martin.
- Uh, what's your name?
- Perla Guerra.
Given the number of weeks
you've been pregnant,
I would suggest a vacuum abortion.
- Just so you know, it doesn't hurt at all.
- [dramatic music playing]
It's a simple procedure.
I just need you to read this over
to confirm you want to proceed,
and are aware that nothing bad will occur
Efraín, I can't believe
I almost killed my baby.
- But you didn't.
- What was I thinking?
You didn't do it, huh?
Just breathe. It's all right.
Perla.
Remember, you're not alone.
[contemplative music playing]
Thank you.
- [vehicle approaching]
- [music stops]
- [Efraín] It's Antonia.
- [tense music playing]
You went to get an abortion.
Mm. I've been watching you.
Yeah, I knew that you were.
That's my child. And I'm gonna protect it.
You don't have the capacity to be a mom.
And you do?
You're not able to love.
I couldn't abort my child.
I wanna give birth to my baby.
[scoffs] You're just my incubator.
My womb.
You can find anyone
you want and use her womb.
You're not going to take
my child away from me.
It's my baby.
I'm gonna be watching you
these nine months.
- I'll be your shadow until it's born.
- [tense music swelling]
[dramatic musical stinger]
[music stops]
- [woman] Okay. Great.
- [moaning]
- Push. Yes, that's it.
- [screaming]
I can see the head, just keep pushing.
- [moaning]
- Push! You can do it!
[breathing in through teeth]
- [screaming]
- That's it!
There.
- [baby crying]
- [footsteps]
[ominous music playing]
[woman] Here.
- [sobbing] My baby.
- Oh, look, say hello.
- Hi sweetie!
- Here you go.
Oh, you're so beautiful.
It's okay. It's okay.
[ominous music continues]
[music fades]
My sister has already given us
what we needed.
I want her out of Durango.
I want her to disappear.
[tense music playing]
[gasping]
[gasping]
[thunderous rumbling]
[rumbling and music fade]
[whirring sound]
[tense musical stinger]
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
[panting]
[gasps]
- [crying]
- Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!
Oh. Oh
Hello, my little one. You're the most
beautiful thing in the whole world.
I've prepared all
of the baby bottles, ma'am.
You sterilized 'em?
- [woman] Yes, of course.
- [tense music stops]
I also ordered different types of milk.
Just one type is good enough.
[tense dramatic music playing]
The doctor said we have
to give her milk every three hours.
Even if she cries, it's every three hours.
Shhh. Shhh.
Hello.
[music stops]
Where's my daughter?
[baby crying]
Where is my baby?!
[intense dramatic music playing]
[Antonia] Bernardo!
[car engine starts]
[music stops]
[church bell ringing]
[Perla] We're almost there, almost.
[sighs]
Okay.
- [heartfelt music playing]
- Oh, my love
Yeah.
It's okay.
[panting]
[gasps]
[baby crying]
[Perla crying]
Help me! [crying]
Help me, please! Help me.
I have no strength left! Please!
- I can't go on.
- Perla, what are you doing here?
- I can't I can't take anymore.
- Come here. Sit down.
- Come here, sit. There, there.
- [Perla crying]
- I can't, please. I just can't do this.
- What'd you do?
[ominous music playing]
You kidnapped her.
No, she's my child. She's my baby.
I have to be the one to raise her.
- You know it's true.
- Perla, listen.
- Perla.
- [Perla] She's my child.
[Bernardo] Perla!
- [Bernardo panting]
- [Perla] What?
Please help me.
Give me back the child, Perla.
Bernardo, please don't.
Your sister
[ominous music continues]
You know Antonia will never
leave you or the child alone.
This baby is yours too.
- I know.
- Even if you don't care about her, I do.
I will always be there for her.
I will defend her. And I will protect her.
I will protect her myself.
No, no, no, please,
don't take her away from me.
- No.
- [baby crying]
Come on, Perla.
No!
[ominous music builds to a climax]
[music stops]
[Bernardo] You finally have the family
you always dreamed of.
Honestly, I imagined something different.
Oh, really, Antonia?
Is anything I do good enough?
You're impossible to please, you know?
I thought the same thing
when I caught you fucking my sister.
- [musical stinger]
- I have a daughter I didn't give birth to,
who reminds me of my husband
and sister's betrayal.
[tense music playing]
[music fades]
- Perla.
- [gasps]
[Perla shudders]
I'm very sorry.
[inhaling] Our daughter is dead.
- [shudders]
- [melancholic music playing]
When we got back in the car
- we realized that she had passed away.
- No, it's not true.
My daughter was perfectly fine.
When you took her from me,
she was fine. You know that!
When I was holding her
there was nothing wrong with her.
You know it's true!
Babies are fragile things.
What did they do to her?
Did they kill her?
Bernardo, tell me, did they kill my baby?
I don't understand.
[melancholic music continues]
Why like this?
Why out here?
Why?
She didn't want to attract attention
from anyone in town.
No, not here.
I can't bear to think of her out here.
[siren blaring]
[chatter over police radio]
Why are the police here?
Antonia reported you
for kidnapping that child.
[sighs]
[melancholic music continues]
No!
No, no!
Listen to me! No, please!
Leave me alone! I didn't do anything!
He He raped me!
It was them!
I didn't do anything, I swear!
You have to listen to me!
I'm telling you the truth!
[Perla sobs]
[melancholic music continues]
[metallic thud]
[officer] Perla Guerra,
- visitor.
- [latch clicking]
[melancholic music fades]
[tense musical stinger]
I dropped the charges. You're free to go.
If you ever set foot in Durango again,
I'll have you locked back up.
I won't have any compassion.
[ominous music playing]
You lost the war, little sister.
[Perla] Good riddance.
[music fades]
[birds chirping]
[sorrowful music playing]
[sighs]
Hey. Where are you going?
[sighs] Please, don't
I heard about the baby.
I'm so sorry.
You should know I did everything
I could, but in the end,
I couldn't put you at risk.
The Zentenos are killers.
- I know.
- Wait.
Listen to me, please. I can help you.
You know how I feel, Perla.
Thank you.
- Efraín, just let me go, please.
- Hey Please, Perla. Just Perla, wait.
You're not alone. Let me take care of you.
Thanks, Efraín,
but I don't need to be taken care of!
I need my daughter back alive!
Can you bring her here?
Alive? Laughing in my arms?
Can you do that?
No.
Don't you understand that, for people
like me, there will never be justice?
[shudders]
My daughter was murdered,
and I died with her.
There's nothing here.
Please just Will you leave me alone?
I have nothing left.
What about that don't you get?
So let me go!
[Perla sobbing]
[sorrowful music fades]
[wind blowing]
FOUR YEARS LATER
Hey, that's enough! Stop it! Stay there.
Hey, stop! Stop! I mean it!
Now listen to your mother.
I don't want to.
[grunts]
- What's wrong with you? Get back!
- Let me go!
- You're hurting her.
- [Antonia] She's the one hurting us.
She's just a girl.
I don't want her screaming
and throwing tantrums in my house.
[Bernardo] You okay, love?
Go with Dolores.
You are fucking insane.
The dragon
- [ominous music playing]
- is [grunts]
hungry!
- Be patient? Come on, please.
- [child] The dragon
- is hungry! He eats secrets!
- Do you know who you're talking to?
[Antonia] Jacinta,
what are you doing
with your father's books?
The dragon is hungry!
- Really? It's hungry? Come, we'll feed it!
- [Jacinta grunts]
- [tense music playing]
- Let go of me!
- [dramatic musical stinger]
- No, my dolls!
- Look!
- Not my dolls.
See? The dragon is nice and fed.
Not my dolls!
[screams and cries]
Jacinta! Jacinta, what happened?
Come here, hey.
Hey, it's okay.
What the hell is your problem?!
You take care of Perla.
Jacinta! Her name is Jacinta! Dolores!
Oh my god.
[tense music fades]
What the fuck was that about?
I see Perla in Jacinta.
I don't know what happened.
- I can't put up with her, I try
- Becoming a mother was your idea.
- Now you suck it up.
- I wanted a boy, not a girl.
Not a girl that was so much like Perla.
[sniffling] I'm leaving.
- No. You're not.
- Yes.
- Yes. You'll stay here with little Perla.
- Stop!
- No. You started this goddamn thing.
- [quiet dramatic music playing]
Now, you finish it.
You're not leaving me alone.
Then you're just forcing
me to hurt her even more.
- [quiet dramatic music stops]
- Where are we going?
Well, um, we're going for a ride.
I made your favorite snack for you.
I don't wanna go.
Don't make this harder, my love.
[quiet dramatic music playing]
Come on.
- [car door closes]
- [engine starts]
[music fades]
[dramatic musical stinger]
ORPHANAGE
[car door alert ringing]
Come on, honey.
Give me your hand.
That's it.
Take my hand.
Welcome, my sweet Jacinta.
You're going to be very happy here.
Come on, now.
No! No! No!
[sorrowful music playing]
- [Bernardo sighs]
- Don't leave me!
Hey. There, there.
It's for your own good.
That's it, that's my girl. [groans]
- Do you want to play a game? Let's go.
- [Jacinta grunting]
No! Let me go!
Daddy!
- Papa!
- Come on, let's go.
Papa!
[sorrowful music continues]
[woman] Pedro, it's time to go.
There's a family here for you.
You're going to be very happy
with them, all right?
Let's go.
[people chattering]
[sorrowful music continues]
Papa!
[woman] Hey!
Papa! Don't leave me here!
Papa!
Papa! Come back, please, Daddy!
Please!
Daddy!
Please, daddy!
You happy?
Very much.
Come on,
I want to show my son his new life.
[car engine starts]
[sorrowful music fades]
THIRTEEN YEARS LATER
- [girls] Get her!
- [girl] Punch that bitch!
- Fight her! Get her!
- [Spanish pop music playing]
[girl] Beat her ass! Yeah!
[girls shouting]
[girl] You gotta get up!
[woman] What's going on here? Stop!
That's enough, stop it!
Say it one more time, you bitch.
Say my parents hate me,
and they wanted me dead!
- Get out. Go on.
- [pop music stops]
She can't say that to me!
Can we calm down, Jacinta? Hm?
Calm down.
[loud thud]
You know I can help, hm?
You don't want it?
In that case, I'll be frank.
What the other girls say
about you is the truth.
Your parents pay a lot of money
to keep you locked up in here.
They never wanted you.
- Do you know why?
- [tense music playing]
It's because you've always had something
evil deep down inside of you.
Go on.
Mm-hm.
There it is.
You're going to be very sorry.
- [tense music fades]
- [Perla] My little girl.
It's been another year
Here I am,
still dreaming that one day
you'll be here again. [whimpers]
[clattering]
[intriguing music playing]
[Perla] I dreamt about you the other day.
You were all grown up
and beautiful.
In my dream, you were so fair and radiant.
You asked for me to help you
and I didn't know how.
- [alarm ringing]
- [dramatic action music playing]
[man] Someone's trying to escape!
I'm even helpless in dreams.
Jesús!
Forgive me.
Should I call the police?
No. Just let her go.
It's one less problem for us.
Later on, we can decide
what story to tell her family.
["Lista Pa' La Batalla"
by 5 Alarm playing]
I got the plate ready here! Whose is it?
[sighs]
[breathing deeply]
Starting today, you are Claudia Flores.
Completely legal.
Not bad. All right.
Jacinta Zenteno's dead,
along with everyone who ruined my life.
- Thanks, girl. Mm.
- No worries.
[chuckles]
[tense music playing]
Hey, princess, you got a light?
- No.
- No?
Come here, you brat.
- Help me!
- [grunting] Shut up!
Shut your mouth!
[man groans]
- [both grunting]
- [dramatic action music playing]
Come on, baby. Don't fight back.
- I said don't fight back! that's enough.
- Let me go! Let me go! No!
- [gasping]
- Hm? Yeah.
You're a tough one.
Huh? Stop!
Or I'll cut that pretty face.
[both groaning]
- [knife slashes]
- [Jacinta gasping]
[man groans]
- [Jacinta gasps]
- [man groans]
[tense music playing]
[sirens blaring]
[sirens getting louder]
[music fades]
I'm sorry, boss.
We haven't had any luck this month either.
There's no trace of Jacinta.
She didn't vanish into thin air, man.
[Antonia] Dolores.
Is everything ready for the party?
Yes, ma'am. Everything is almost ready.
And Bernardo left already?
No, he's still in his office.
He's been in there
a long time with Contreras.
Excuse me, ma'am.
It's been four years since she escaped the
orphanage, and there's no trace of her.
That's exactly how it should be.
Can you give us a moment, Contreras?
Yes, ma'am. Excuse me.
Do you know what would happen
if Jacinta ever came back?
So would Perla.
I just want to know
that my daughter is okay.
If Perla comes back,
the truth will come out.
- [tense music playing]
- So keep looking for Jacinta,
and know that when you find her,
I'll release my little video.
[Perla screaming] No!
[Antonia] The world will know
what you did to my sister.
Perla and Jacinta are dead women.
Let them rest.
[Mexican accordion music playing]
Perla, visitors.
[moody dramatic music playing]
[music fades]
[Antonia] Do what I say
or I'll report you for rape.
- [scoffs] You wouldn't.
- [Antonia] Of course I would.
What if it spread
to investors in the mine?
[dramatic musical stinger]
Do you really think that people
will feel safe working with a predator?
- The only child we have is Pedro.
- [mysterious music playing]
All of this is for him to inherit.
[music fades]
[man] I'm sorry to have to deliver
this news to you, Pedro.
But I'm afraid that the disease has now
progressed more than I expected it to.
- How long do I have?
- A year.
- Year and a half. You need a transplant.
- [moody dramatic music playing]
A transplant is the only solution.
But you can only get one
from your biological family.
You have to look for them.
I suggest that we speak
with Bernardo and Antonia.
No! No, no, no. Uh no.
I'm telling you,
they can't know anything about this.
This has to stay between us, all right?
- I'll look for my biological parents.
- [moody dramatic music fades]
[Perla] I don't care what anyone says.
This is just like any other job.
And yes, I know I could do something
else to make my living, but why would I?
- [Mexican accordion music playing]
- Those Bastard Zentenos,
they took everything.
- My dignity. My future.
- [moody dramatic music playing]
They left me with nothing.
They ruined my entire life.
HOUSE OF THE DEVIL
I had to go to all the way
to hell just to survive.
I had to die.
Day after day.
Night after night.
The only reason I'm alive
is because I'm not brave enough to die.
It's not our place
to judge your decisions, Perla.
At the very least,
I think you've punished yourself enough.
All right.
Well, then, tell me why you're here.
What do you want?
[Mexican accordion music playing]
I'm dying, Perla. Pancreatic cancer.
I can't leave this world
without you knowing that
your daughter is alive.
[intriguing music playing]
What?
I knew it.
They lied the whole time?
I didn't kill her, Ben.
No, Perla.
It's been years since I lived in Durango,
and I came back
because she asked me to help find you.
[shuddering]
I looked in the police database
and I found her.
She was baptized Jacinta.
But before she was even five years old,
they left her at an orphanage.
What do you mean? Hold on.
Come on, that can't be true.
No, how could that be?
How could they take my baby away,
and then they
[crying]they took my baby away from me
and told me she was dead.
I mean, they did all that
just to abandon her?
Thanks to my contacts in the police
department, I was able to locate her.
Jacinta,
the girl we all thought was dead,
now has the name Claudia Flores.
- Uh-huh.
- A while ago she killed a man.
She was convicted
and sentenced to 15 years.
- [woman gasps]
- [water running]
[ominous music playing]
[gasps]
I don't care if she did any of that.
Listen. I need to see her, Ben, please.
- Take me to see her. I'm begging you.
- [Efraín] I will.
[tense dramatic music playing]
[music stops]
This is where she is.
I don't know if I would
even recognize her.
How will I find her?
[intriguing music playing]
[Efraín] That's her.
[groaning weakly]
[exhales deeply]
[Perla] She looks sad.
[musical tension swelling]
- [church bell ringing]
- [music fades]
[priest] Brothers and sisters,
remember that Jesus died for all of us.
And the most important reason he did
was to be reborn in our hearts.
- In yours, in yours, in yours, sister.
- [contemplative music playing]
Jesus is present in each
and every one of our hearts.
That's why it's so easy to speak
with Him through prayer.
To turn to Him and express our needs.
He will surely listen.
There is no reason for him not to listen.
That is why the scripture commands us to
[echoing gun blast]
- Get down! Nobody move! I have a gun!
- [priest] Sister, calm down!
- [priest] Calm down, sister.
- [police siren blaring]
[Efraín] This is the plan.
We are going to get you arrested
and taken to prison.
I'll arrange everything so that
you're in the same cell block as Jacinta.
[siren blaring]
[tense dramatic music playing]
- And how will I get out?
- Don't worry. It's all been arranged.
You just have to concentrate
on finding your daughter.
[woman] Well, well, look who's here.
The crazy bitch who shot up the church.
The most important thing
is that you have only four days.
After that,
you'll be moved to another prison.
Jacinta is in a prison for killers,
and, well, you didn't kill anyone.
[Perla screams]
[tense dramatic music continues]
On the eighth of June,
you have to get onto the rooftop
of Building Three by 4 p.m.
[contemplative music playing]
When it's time, someone will help you
get up to Building Three.
- Who?
- Don't worry who.
It's all set.
Relax.
You're not alone.
Thank you.
[musical tension swelling]
["Jamás" by 5 Alarm playing]
[no audible dialogue]
Jacinta.
Oh, uh Clau Claudia Flores?
- Don't touch me, bitch!
- [Perla] Sorry, sorry.
My bad.
["Jamás" fades]
You see this bitch?
She's crazy. [chuckling]
Whatcha lookin' at?
- [woman chuckling]
- Can't you talk?
Do any of you know a Claudia Flores?
She's fair-skinned, and young.
She killed a guy.
[woman] You've got to be kidding.
The fucking wardens
don't even know our names.
- I can pay you.
- [ominous music playing]
If you tell me what you know.
[music fades]
[retching]
Someone, please help! [moans]
[coughing]
[moody dramatic music playing]
My stomach really hurts!
I'm throwing up. Please, someone!
[Perla gasping]
Help me, please.
[groans] I think I have a fever.
[officer] Door!
[door buzzer rings]
[metallic creaking]
What's the problem?
[Perla] My stomach is hurting a lot.
I can't stop throwing up.
Leave her. I'll give her an injection
and send her back.
I told them the food here is crap.
Have a seat, please.
- One moment
- [Perla] Mm-hm.
[musical tension building]
[moody dramatic music plays intensely]
