[upbeat music playing]
[Charro] Gentlemen, salud.
[Javier] Salud.
[gasps]
THE ACCIDEN
- [Moncho exhales]
- [Emiliano] Moncho!
Boss?
I sent you to go get ice,
why are you still here?
- I'll hammer in the stake and go.
- Leave it. I'll take care of it.
- But have you done it before?
- It's not rocket science, Moncho. Hurry!
- A party without ice is like a funeral.
- Okay. I'm leaving.
[cell phone rings]
[tense music playing]
[Emiliano] David, Javier, the Americans!
If I had hammered that fucking stake,
David, that fucking stake,
my son would still be alive.
Why didn't you say anything, brother?
I was paralyzed with terror.
I didn't know I was such a coward, David.
The guilt is killing me, David.
I swear to God.
What guilt?
You can't control the wind, dude.
I'm the one who should be in prison,
not Moncho, see?
- I'm gonna tell the truth, man.
- No, you're not gonna tell the truth.
- I'm gonna do it.
- You'll ruin your life.
And then Charro will bust your head open.
- Come on!
- I don't care.
If I deserve it, so be it, David.
How do you remain part of a family
when you are responsible
for the tragedy they're going through?
You're not going
to fuck the business with the gringos.
- David.
- Think about your partners. Think of me.
Carla is pregnant, dude.
I'm going to be a father.
I need that money.
Emiliano, you lost a son.
But save the rest of your family.
Where are you going, Mom?
Dad said it was important.
Nothing is important.
Your brother is gone.
[David] This is going to be okay.
Trust me.
CITY POLICE
[Charro] Stop with the bullshit.
I'll pay for his fucking house
when he gives me my son back.
It was hard to get them
to release you, Agustín.
You were very lucky
that no one was hurt in that fire,
and they won't file a suit.
No, he was the lucky one.
Agustín, I recommend that you to stay
as far away from this guy as possible.
I'm not paying you to tell me
what to do, okay Sanoja?
[sighs]
[melancholy music playing]
Mom, did you know
that the tongue of a whale
weighs as much as an elephant?
[chuckles softly]
That's impossible, my love.
It's true! And just its heart
weighs as much as this car.
Who did you take after to be so smart?
I think it's after you,
but we'll have to hide it from Dad.
[chuckles]
[dog whines]
[Emiliano] Your family is fine, Moncho.
They're okay.
Huh, and actually, uh
- Moncho, we are
- Look, Moncho.
We know you're going through
a very difficult time.
They're accusing me
of the murder of the children,
and I'm innocent.
They beat me and burned my house.
Nah, I'm happy.
But your son is fine, huh?
Alive.
Can you imagine the pain
your boss is going through?
Look, Moncho, the matter is very simple.
We want to make you a proposal that
will change your family's life
for the better.
You will never have to worry
about anything again.
And the only thing you have to do
is maintain the official version
that you were responsible
for what happened.
[somber music playing]
I'm not guilty, boss.
Sir, you said that
you'd hammer in the stake, not me.
Moncho, Moncho, who was responsible
for securing that bouncy house?
Your boss? The owner of the house?
This outstanding lawyer
who's reputation is impeccable,
or the drunkard who works for him?
You know what happened, boss.
Look at me. Look at me, sir.
- Look at me! Sir!
- [David] Moncho. Moncho!
Moncho, calm down, shh. Hey, hey.
If you don't calm down, we can't talk.
Look, we can get the papers
to send your family to the US. Huh?
Imagine your kids speaking English.
We're offering you an opportunity
that otherwise you could never have.
But think very carefully
because these opportunities
only come once in a lifetime.
But think about it in silence,
because this conversation
can't leave this place.
Not even Daniela can know.
Think about it.
[Emiliano] Moncho, I know that
what we're asking of you is very unfair,
but Moncho, if you accept this
If you accept, I promise you
that I will do the impossible
- to get you out.
- [David] Emiliano.
- I promise. I swear to God.
- [David] Emiliano!
Your time is over.
[tension sting]
[Lupita] "He did not look at all
like a child lost in the desert."
[car approaching]
"The boy was shaken
by an idea that was so brilliant"
Wait here.
"that it broke
the darkness of the night."
"The trick was to understand
that in the land of the night,
laughter also resides,
and if you breathe deeply,
you'll smell your mother's perfume."
"The origin of life."
Thank God they let you go.
Peyote says you've been here all day.
Gabo doesn't like to be alone.
Lupe.
This isn't Gabo.
You'll do what you have to do?
[uneasy music playing]
[music turns suspenseful]
[drone whirring]
[whirring stops]
- [sighs] Nothing.
- [sighs]
- Nobody said it would be easy.
- [sighs] Yeah, but not a single trace?
- [exhales]
- Did you bring her clothes?
Yeah.
This?
This one, that's fine. Gol, come on.
- Come. Sit.
- [sniffing]
[Daniela] Search for her. Huh?
Search for her.
Gol will help us find her.
[sighs] I'm starting
to lose optimism, Daniela.
I suppose that even for an expert
in dealing with trauma,
this is too much to bear.
What good is being a psychologist
if I can't even deal with my own pain?
- [Daniela] Come on!
- [Fonseca] Split up into groups!
- Come.
- You take that side.
- Let's go. Search for her.
- [Fonseca] Go to your right.
We just have to get used
to living with this horror.
I just can't believe it.
A few days ago, I was fighting with Rodri.
We just did that all the time, Dad.
That, and binge-watching TV shows.
He's dead because of Moncho.
Fuck that guy, so reckless.
[pensive music playing]
It was an accident.
[dramatic music playing]
CITY POLICE
[breathes heavily]
[breathes heavily]
[Daniela chuckles]
- [Daniela] En garde! I'm going to attack!
- [Rodri] En garde!
No, you can't!
[both] Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!
[Daniela] Whoa!
Defend yourself!
Defend yourself like the knight you are!
[both groaning]
[Daniela] No!
[extended yelling]
[music continues]
[Daniela] Oh, don't cut my head off!
[Rodri] No, because you're my mom.
[Daniela] Are you going to cut me in half?
[Daniela chuckles]
[music fades]
Good morning.
Hi, honey. [exhales]
Hey, why don't you get out of bed,
prepare yourself a nice bath,
and then go to the spa?
Working will be good for you.
It's clear you don't have children.
I loved Mateo as if he were my son,
and you know it.
But there's still you and me.
Hmm?
We have to move on, right?
They murdered my only son.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm fine?
[tense music playing]
Why don't you go for a run?
That has always done you good.
CITY POLICE
For once,
we're winning a hand to the bosses.
Our life is going to be
very different from now on.
But I'd have to accept
that I killed their children.
Do you know how long the sentence will be?
Don't you care about that?
If the boss
If that bastard Emiliano Lobo
said he was going to get you out soon,
then he will.
Yes, it means being stuck in prison
for one or two years,
but we would be getting out
of fucking poverty forever.
Think about your kids.
[Mauricio] Well,
at least the guy's in jail, right?
Justice's been served.
[Charro] Justice?
In this country?
[scoffs]
Do you know anyone at the police station?
Just some random officers
who come by sometimes.
Surely one of them is willing to
earn some extra cash, right?
You mean murdering Moncho?
Watch out, Charro.
About what? About who?
I don't know about yours,
but my son never deserved this.
I'm not a killer, Charro.
No one's asking you
to murder someone, stupid.
What's more, no one's even saying
someone's gonna get murdered.
Maybe just sending him a warning.
Or maybe not.
The only thing I'm asking you
is if you know anybody
that could help us. Mm?
And I'll do the rest.
[tense music playing]
[Emiliano] Cristiano's here! Yeah!
Cristiano's has the ball!
Woo-ho-ho!
[exhales in pain]
[breathes shakily]
[cell phone rings]
- Yeah?
- [David] Hey, hey, hey, hey, cheer up.
Moncho accepted the offer.
We just have to tune it a little.
How did you do it?
You forgot that I can be very convincing.
[door slams shut]
- Hey, I'll call you later.
- [sighs] Goddamn it.
What's up?
- Hi, love.
- Who was it?
[kisses] Huh?
Your phone call.
It was Emiliano.
And why did you suddenly get all weird?
Oh, because I'm having an affair
with your brother-in-law,
and you caught me.
[grunts] I've had the worst fucking days.
Santos isn't picking up.
I need an interview with Moncho.
Nobody listens.
Why would you want to have
an interview with Moncho?
Well, because
I'm a goddamn journalist, my love.
I need his version of what happened
with yesterday's fire. It's tough.
Honey, your nephew died in that accident.
Your sister is gonna think
you're taking advantage.
- What do you mean? How
- You're pregnant.
Do you want to get involved
in an investigation like this?
- Making you tense all the time.
- Hey, are you my gynecologist?
- Hey
- No, you weren't even excited
when I told you I was pregnant,
and now you want to protect me?
- No, honey, thank you.
- Honey
For fuck's sake.
You're acting really weird.
[tense music playing]
The cash?
It's all there.
Just a slight change of plans.
I want him dead.
Hey, dude.
What?
- I mean, the cash is good and all, but
- But what?
- Murdering that man is too much.
- You don't get it.
He's not a man, understand?
He's a child killer.
You see the difference?
In fact, I want you to tell him
who sent you.
Because the last thing
that fucker should hear before he dies,
is that I had him killed.
[music continues]
[music fades]
[pop music playing on speakers]
[panting]
Jogging?
Running away, I'd say.
And? Does it work?
Pain is much faster than light.
When a child's parent dies,
he becomes an orphan, right?
But what are we?
Do you realize
there isn't a word for that?
He didn't get to finish
the puzzle you gave him.
Do you remember
what he'd say when he was two?
- "I peel a mananin."
- [both chuckle]
Mateo was the best thing in my life.
[plaintive music playing]
Yola, I'm very sorry
for what happened to your house.
I want you to know I'm doing
everything to get Moncho out of jail.
I want to talk about
what you offered my husband.
There are a few things I want to add
while you get the papers ready
for us to go to the US.
[breathes shakily]
What things?
A new house for me.
Twenty thousand pesos a month.
And I also want a TV.
But not just any.
I want the TV in your living room.
It doesn't matter it's not new.
I like that one.
David already spoke to Moncho
and he accepted the conditions.
You think I can't have a say?
Is this problem just between men?
You know, you should be careful with me.
You don't want anyone to know
about the shit you did
to keep you out of prison.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music fades]
[Carla] What's up with this mess?
Yola's out and no one does
anything around here, Auntie.
Yeah. And your mom?
With Fabián looking for Paula.
Well, I brought Chinese food, so
I'm not really hungry right now.
[Carla] Ah, you don't know?
You don't need to be hungry
to eat Chinese food, so come on.
- [chuckles]
- Eat.
Or I'll spoon-feed you
like when you were little.
You know what I feel?
That Rodri took everything with him.
My family.
This house.
My mom doesn't want to live.
- Dad is a zombie, I don't exist to them.
- Hey.
[somber music playing]
Listen, I know it's not the same, okay?
But while they try
to get their heads above water,
I'm here, my love, okay?
Come.
[officer] One of the units reported
that someone has found
the remains of the bouncy house.
[intriguing music playing]
[Daniela] Wait.
Wait, Gol. Wait.
[Fabián] Paula!
[Daniela] Paula!
Paula!
[Fabián] Paula!
[Daniela] There are parts
of the bouncy house here!
Wait.
- [breathes heavily]
- [Gol barks]
Paula!
- [Gol barks]
- [Daniela] They have to be close by!
[Fabián] Paula!
Paula!
[Daniela] Paula!
Paula!
[Fabián] Paula!
Paula!
- Paula!
- [Daniela] Paula!
[Fabián] Paula!
Paula!
[Daniela] Paula!
[music fades]
[Gol whines]
[sobs]
Paula!
- [Fabián] Paula!
- [Fonseca] Daniela!
- [Fabián] Paula!
- Daniela!
Get up, get up.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
No matter how hard you look,
your son is not in this forest, Daniela.
[crying]
- Easy now.
- [continues crying]
It's okay.
[Javier] How did you reach
the brilliant conclusion
that defending Moncho was a good idea?
I'm going to do it personally,
without involving the firm.
Personally?
You are the fucking law firm, Emiliano!
- [David] Javi.
- You're going to ruin us all
with this sudden impulse of humanity!
Let's see.
What the fuck do you think
the Americans are going to say? Mm?
It was an accident, Javi.
An accident? There was a loose stake, man!
Who didn't nail it down? Moncho Gómez.
Verdict?
Guilty of the death of three children,
and a little girl who's still missing,
that I'm terribly sorry to say,
- I don't think she'll turn up alive.
- Oh God.
Anything else to add, counselor?
[tense music playing]
Javi, Javi, Javi, enough.
Emiliano has enough problems already.
Take it down a notch, okay? Please.
Everyone wants Moncho imprisoned or dead.
Among them, you know who?
Brenda.
Do you remember her? My wife.
I've been married to her for a few years.
She was the mother
of one of the dead children.
Brenda is loaded up on painkillers
up to here,
not willing not able to get out of bed!
And do you know why?
Because of that son of a bitch
you want to defend, counselor.
- Javi, Javi, stop. Hey.
- Don't touch me!
- Okay. Alright, man, it's alright.
- Don't touch me!
[David exhales]
Javi.
[Javier] What the fuck are you looking at?
Get back to work!
[David] Don't worry.
[police siren blaring in distance]
- [buzzing]
- [cell door unlocks]
[door slamming]
[footsteps approaching]
[keys jangling]
You know what the first thing
I was gonna do this morning, Moncho?
Hmm?
Prepare the lunchbox for Rodrigo.
[Daniela inhales]
- Ma'am, please.
- I thought I was a good person.
But I'm not.
When you killed my son,
you killed everything decent
that was inside of me.
[inhales]
- Because now I want you to suffer.
- [Moncho breathes shakily]
I want to pass all this pain to you.
- What happened
- Don't tell me it was an accident, Moncho!
How many times in your life
have I told you to stop with the booze?
What was so hard about
putting a fucking stake in the ground?
Huh?
What was more important than the children?
What?!
[Daniela sobs]
[Daniela sniffles and sobs]
Rodrigo didn't do anything
to deserve this.
Me neither, Moncho.
[melancholy music playing]
No one, damn it.
[sniffles]
May God forgive you, Moncho.
[cries softly]
Because I'm unable to.
- [knocks on cell door]
- [Daniela] Guard!
[Daniela sniffles]
[whimpering]
[crying] It wasn't me.
Damn it, it wasn't me! It wasn't me!
[sobbing]
[door slams in distance]
[sobbing]
It wasn't me.
They should invent a pill
to make you forget about all the bad shit.
[knocking]
- [Salomé] Hey.
- What's up?
What you got for us?
It's paradise.
- [Salomé] You're gonna love me.
- Why?
- [Salomé] More than you already love me.
- [phone vibrates]
Paradise.
- [cell phone vibrates]
- [snickers]
[line calling]
[Lucía] Hi, I'm Lucía.
Right now, I can't answer your call
[Santos] I didn't want to tell you
when you arrived, but
What?
Your husband is going
to be defending Moncho Gómez.
[unsettling music playing]
Excuse me?
[Santos] You better go home, Daniela.
Clear things up with your husband,
mourn your son, process your grief.
[scoffs]
It must be easy to say, huh?
[suspenseful music playing]
I thought you were out on leave.
Pass me the key.
Nine letters. "Ending life."
Matrimony?
- Murdering, motherfucker.
- [officer laughs]
"Murdering."
[music continues]
[suspenseful music builds]
I wanna talk to my boss.
Can you ask him to come?
Yeah.
I will let the captain know.
- [Moncho] Hm.
- Bon appétit.
- Thanks.
- [officer] Horacio!
Your wife just called.
She tried to reach you on your cell phone.
- You have to take her to the hospital!
- To the hospital? Why? What happened?
The stork has arrived. Come on!
You're going to be a dad!
Come on, dude, move your fucking ass!
- Come on!
- [Horacio chuckles]
[tense music playing]
What are you doing here?
I came to bring your keys back.
[Daniela] I'm so sorry about your home.
You and your friends
screwed over my husband.
You burned our house,
left us on the street,
and obviously, I lost my job.
What do you think?
I think
you're leaving here
to go see your children.
I lost my child because of your husband.
Moncho didn't do anything bad.
You know all about that.
Don't give me that shit.
Go get your things.
Emiliano will take care
of settling everything.
[distant splash]
[melancholy music playing]
[wheel whirring]
Wow! You're the best!
[chuckles]
When I grow up, I want to be like you.
- [scoffs]
- Except when you get silly.
[clicks tongue] What? When?
Your girlfriend, Lucía,
she's got you a little crazy.
Are you going to marry her?
[chuckles] I don't even know
if she likes me.
- [wheel rattling]
- Come on, help me.
- There it is, like new.
- Can I tell you something?
I think I'm in love too.
Yeah? With who?
I'll tell you some other day.
Hey!
Wait. Gabo!
That's cheating! Tell me who!
[optimistic music playing]
[cell phone vibrates]
Hello?
[drunkenly]
Hey, why haven't you called me?
I called you like ten times.
Then I'll pick up when you get to 20.
Where are you?
Hey, Alex, have you heard
that life only lasts a little while?
[pop music playing on speakers]
Live a little.
[door opens]
- [door closes]
- [Emiliano] Hi.
I call and call, Lucía isn't picking up.
Where is she?
- Where'd she go? I'll pick her up.
- At Salomé's.
This late?
Tell me it's not true.
Tell me you're not defending
in a court of law
the man responsible for your son's death!
Tell me!
Moncho has the right to a defense,
like any citizen.
What?
And does it have to be precisely you?
And without consulting me?
Burying that man in jail is not going
to give us our son back, Daniela.
What the fuck?
What is this?
A lesson in moral superiority?
How good of a guy you are!
Every person is considered innocent
until proven guilty, and you know that!
To hell with your lectures
on criminal law!
What's in your head, huh?
[sobs] Do you hurt for your son?
[Daniela sobs]
Aren't you ashamed, Emiliano?
- [door opens]
- [Daniela sighs]
[sniffles]
- [door closes]
- [grunts]
[techno music playing]
[Salomé] Hey!
There's beer over there. Come on in.
Take whatever you want, and get
I'm only here for Lucía.
[drunkenly] Welcome to the party!
Let's go. I'll take to your home.
No, not my home.
At home everything reminds me of murder.
You know you shouldn't mess with that.
Calm down, okay?
Why don't you take a pill too, Alex?
Lucía, let's go.
Are you sure she wants to leave?
Are you sure you are her best friend?
- [door closes]
- What do you mean you couldn't do it?
I don't give a fuck
if that asshole had ten kids!
He has to give me my money back,
the motherfucker!
Motherfucker!
[sighs]
[Lupita] I told you I didn't want
to come live in this fucking city.
- [Charro] Mh-hmm?
- I didn't wanna go to that party either.
- But we always do what you want.
- Mm-hmm?
You command and I obey you.
My job is to have my tits up
and my legs open
and to always say yes.
But my son is dead now because of you!
- You're fucking with me.
- Moncho is guilty.
But you know who else is to blame? You!
Because you didn't have
the fucking balls to
- [slaps]
- [glass shatters]
- Don't ever fucking talk to me like that.
- [Lupita sobs]
[Charro] Hello? Yeah.
- [Lupita moans]
- [Charro] Listen, fucker.
[somber music playing]
[music turns melancholic]
Where is it?
Where is it?
There's a piece missing.
There's a piece missing!
Well, don't worry,
we'll look for it tomorrow.
- We can ask Avelina
- No! No!
- What?
- Don't you understand?
Mateo always finishes his puzzles.
[sobs]
Hey, hey, hey. We're going to finish it.
- Yes? Don't worry.
- [sobs]
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
We'll finish the puzzle.

[Gol panting]
I'm giving up hope that we'll find her.
[Gol whines]
We'll find her today, Fabián. You'll see.
Alive?
[music fades]
[sighs]
[Alex exhales]
That shit you took was serious.
Thanks for for not taking me home,
For taking care of me,
for the soup, for everything.
I messaged your mother.
Text her anyway,
so you don't get in trouble.
Thanks, Alex.
[door opens]
[Lupita] I didn't know
this was a no-tell motel.
Is this how you respect
your brother's memory?
Hey, Julita.
Ma, is it true that Dad
is the one responsible
for what happened to Rodri,
Gabo and Mateo?
[Yola] Where did you hear that?
[Quique] Some kids at school.
And that's why he's in prison?
No, your
Your father will get out of prison soon.
And our lives will change for the better.
Good things are coming.
I want to go see him.
[sighs] No, Quique.
Kids don't go to that place.
But I want to see him, ma.
[somber music playing]
[Gol barks]
Can you see that? There's something there!
- There!
- [Fabián] What is that yellow thing?
- Go, go straight ahead, officer.
- Yes, sure.
[Daniela] Get closer, get closer!
- [Fabián] It looks like plastic.
- It's a piece of the bouncy house!
- Stop the boat.
- [Fabián] Paula!
- Paula!
- [Gol barks]
- [man] Good morning, officer.
- Good morning, how can I help you?
I'm Mr. Barroso.
Ventura Barroso, criminal attorney.
I'm here on behalf
of Mr. Emiliano Lobo's law firm.
I need to speak with Mr. Ramón Gómez,
aka Moncho.
[Gol barks]
[Daniela] Paula!
Stop here. Gol, search!
Search!
[Gol barks]
[dramatic music playing]
[music heightens]
Ramón Gómez.
[Moncho] Moncho.
Moncho.
My boss agreed to represent me personally.
- That's right, that's why I'm here.
- Mm.
[dramatic music continues playing]
Paula!
Paula. Paula.
[Daniela] Paula!
[panting]
[Daniela] Be careful.
- My baby.
- Let me help you.
[panting]
[Fabián] Come on. Come on.
[grunting]
Don't worry. I'm going
to get you transferred to a facility
where you'll be more comfortable.
Hm, thank you.
In the meantime, it's not tacos,
but I guess for now
it's better than nothing. Hmm?
[Moncho clears throat]
- Thanks.
- No, please, don't mention it.
Thank me when I get you out of here.
[music continues]
- [Daniela] Come on! Gol! Get up!
- [Fabián grunts]
Up! Quickly! Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go fast! Let's go! Let's go!
I knew you were a smart man, Lobo.
People were really angry.
You did the right thing
