1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES There is only one thing worse for a mother than her child's pain being responsible for that pain.
42 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE Is Rubén here? - What? - The kid! No.
Wasn't he with you? That man isn't here either? Rubén was actually acting strange, very withdrawn.
I thought he was just disoriented.
I didn't really think about it, you know? I was worried enough about other stuff It can't be! This is the place! Look, Canalejas Plaza.
You didn't notice it was closed when you came here with Simón? I'm telling you it wasn't like this.
Besides, we talked to the director out on the street.
And that didn't seem weird to you? I don't know, he said it was a very risky operation and that he'd rather take care of it outside the office.
But it's closed! Mom, this is a scam.
Oh, don't tell me that, please.
That bastard stole our money, I'm sure.
And he has taken Rubén.
Ah, fuck.
Look, he took us to that bar over there.
- Where? Over there? - Let's go.
Right there.
Yes.
The woman came back for her glasses.
I went to take out the trash out to the bins and saw a kid arguing with an older person.
Dispatch, it's Ximo.
Could you find out if someone picked up a man about 60 years old? Traveling with a 17-year-old kid, approximately, wearing a T-shirt with the number nine in the front.
- Okay.
About an hour ago.
- An hour.
Here, at the Canalejas stop.
Give me a minute, I'll ask.
There's a police station over there on that corner.
You could go there if you need to.
THE SEARCH - Do you need a receipt? - No.
Julián, this is dispatch.
Did you pick up a fare at the Canalejas stop - about 30 minutes ago? - Affirmative.
Can you pay attention to me and give me my change? Was it a gentleman and a kid wearing a T-shirt that had the number nine on it? The thing is the boy's mother is looking for him.
Turn that off.
- What? - Julián? Dispatch.
- Julián, I'm still - Turn that off.
I said turn that thing off already! Listen, I don't want any trouble.
Then shut your mouth and get the hell out of here, you hear me? Ximo, do you copy? We're here, go ahead.
It seems Julián drove them, but I didn't quite understand him.
He called me on his cell phone.
He was really nervous.
Where did he take them to, though? To the airport, international departures.
He can't be thinking of putting the boy on a plane! Take me to the airport.
- Give me some money.
- Very well.
- Right.
This is all I have, 70 euros.
- Okay.
The fare is 76.
I can take you there, but I won't wait if you don't have more money.
- Is it enough to get there? - Yes, it's enough.
- Well, then take me there, fast.
- Right.
- I'm going alone! - I'm coming with you.
I said no! You stay with the kids till I come back.
- I mean, until Rubén and I are back.
- Okay.
Do you want me to turn on the radio? More reactions to the tragic death of the three children of renowned businessman Vicente Velasco, also known as "Güero.
" It happened yesterday when his private plane crashed just a few miles outside the city of Monterrey.
This morning, after a cabinet meeting, the President of the Republic Pedro, turn off the radio, please.
Turning the radio off won't solve the problem.
Are you really still going on about that? That man is not going to let us live in peace.
He put a bomb in our house.
And of course your response is There's no response because it was an accident.
It happens all the time.
- He'll go after your kids.
- Nothing is going to happen to them.
Oh, really? Wouldn't you do the same if you were him? No, I'm not him.
I'm not a murderer.
I want my kids out of Mexico.
I can't go on like this.
Every noise I hear, every door that opens, every car that passes by our home.
I just can't take it anymore! We're going to a very important dinner.
Please.
Just let me take them away from all this.
I need to be focused, Magda.
I'm closing a very important deal tonight at this dinner.
I don't give a shit about your deals right now! You don't give a shit about anything except living like a queen! Alejandro, please.
Canada, United States.
There are great boarding schools in Europe.
Just for a year, at least.
I said no! My kids are Mexican! They're staying here with me and no one is taking them away from this land! How can you be such a dumbass? - What? - Yeah, you shout, you go mad.
You bawl like a baby, hoping your mommy will come to you! Pedro, stop the car.
- Sir? - I said stop the car.
Get out.
What? Get the fuck out.
I don't need you at this party.
- Alejandro, all right, please.
- Get out! Take me to a gas station, at least.
There's not a soul out here.
There will be one, yours.
A very black soul, by the way.
Get out.
What are you doing now? I'm not about to go out here, God knows where, wearing all of this.
Let's go.
Is that your son, by any chance? He was wearing a T-shirt with the number nine on it, wasn't he? ID, can I see your ID? Stop! Do you understand what I'm saying? Are you a Spaniard? He can't hear you.
He's deaf.
Excuse me, I'm his mother.
We saw him crossing the road and nearly got run over.
Thank God you found him.
Are you okay? Did Simón do something to you? He's getting away.
He's going to get on a plane.
Right.
Anyway, thank you so much.
You've been very kind.
Let's go.
Just a minute.
How old is your son? Seventeen.
I mean, 18! He just turned 18.
May I see the boy's ID? What? We need to see his ID to make sure he's not a minor.
I don't think he has it on him, and neither do I.
I left the hotel in a hurry and forgot about it.
He's a special boy.
He often gets lost.
I have to be very attentive of him.
What's the problem? You don't think he's my son? No, it's okay.
You can go.
Thank you.
Let's go.
What now? Now we need to get our money back.
Are we going back? - No, we carry on.
To the airport.
- Very well.
- Simón, Simón.
- Yes, TobÃas.
Where are you? I hear a lot of racket.
I'm here at the apartment building's swimming pool, watching over these people.
Oh, I'm at the hotel.
And guess what.
Alejandro Guzmán is here as well.
No names, God damn it.
Anyway, what's up? He still in Spain or what? Yup.
He hasn't left the room since he arrived.
Why? At reception, after a generous tip which I'll bill you for, they told me that a cleaning lady saw him lying on a bed and he didn't look well.
- Really? Is he sick? - Apparently a nurse is taking care of him.
Oh, well, that changes everything.
We need more information.
His girlfriend works at the hotel.
Look for her.
Yeah, a roast She's four tables away from me.
Well, that's it, then! Huh? She will take you to him.
I'm not sure about this.
It's very important that we get this guy under control.
Find out what you can and come back.
- All right.
- Okay, we'll talk later.
The boarding pass you saw, were you able to see the destination? It was a long name.
Four syllables.
Try to remember.
COPENHAGEN Copenhagen, yes.
There's no boarding gate yet.
He should still be here.
Come on.
Simón! Please, coming through! - My money! - What money? You know what I'm talking about.
That money does not exist.
Of course it does.
It's mine.
Prove it.
Look, there's the police.
Go and tell them I'm taking money that I don't have on me.
Money that formally never left Mexico, never entered Spain, and there's no record of.
Just like there's no record of you or your kids entering Spain.
That's the situation.
You know that if you leave me with nothing, I won't be able to overcome this.
You do know that, right? You're young, beautiful.
You have a better chance than I do.
Simón! If I were you, I would haul ass out of here.
Let's go.
We're not going to do anything? There's nothing we can do.
Let's go.
Perhaps some of you fashion addicts will remember Magda Escudero, one of the most attractive faces of the late '90s.
Her career was fleeting, but for a while she was one of the most favored models in the world by designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Giorgio Armani, Carolina Herrera.
In 1998, she was about to hit the peak of her career when she decided to marry Mexican businessman Alejandro Guzmán, owner of one of the biggest hotel chains in the world.
Since then, she has lived in Mexico, dedicating her life to her family.
Well, we recently found out that Magda Escudero and her children were kidnapped three days ago.
The details of the incident remain unknown as well as the whereabouts of the businessman, who has yet to make a statement.
Will you excuse me for a minute? - Excuse me! Hello.
- Hi.
- You're the hotel's PR rep, aren't you? - I am.
Can I help you? It's my mother.
She suffers from apnea and has to stay alone tonight.
She gets scared sometimes.
I thought I saw a nurse around here yesterday.
- Is that possible? - Yes, that was a personal service.
Oh, I see.
Yes, a client had a heart attack.
- So, when things like that happen - Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry.
- I need to go.
Ask at the reception desk.
- Sure, all right.
Whoever leaked the news better watch their back.
Do you realize what could happen after all this? Look, we're on the news around half the world.
The press will be here.
What should I tell them? I don't want the press.
I want my kids.
What are you doing? I'm protecting you.
You want another heart attack? Everything's fine.
He's an adult.
And if he needs a mother, I'm here.
My love, what you need to do is unwind.
Unwind, okay? Whoever leaked the news is someone very close to us.
That means there's a spy among us.
It wouldn't be the first time.
Why don't you go back to bed? I've called a doctor.
I don't want him to see you up as if everything is fine.
I want to take a shower.
Oh, finally! Rubén! What took you so long? We had to take the bus.
- What about the old man? That Simón guy.
- Oh, right.
"That Simón guy.
" That Simón guy has left us high and dry.
He took our money.
What did you say, Rubén? Mom.
- You heard him right.
- He took three million euros? - How much is that in dollars? - Like, three and a half, man.
So you got scammed three and a half million dollars by that dude? Where's that asshole? On a plane to Copenhagen.
Shit.
So why are we not going there? How are we going to go if we have nothing? So you're trying to say that we are poor and undocumented? Like rats.
No! I don't want to be poor.
You don't have to want it, dumbass, you're already poor.
- No, I don't want to be.
- No one wants to be poor, honey.
Wait a minute.
Simón's gone, but what about the other guy? Who, the younger one? Uh-huh, TobÃas.
Those two are working together for sure.
He's in Madrid, but his things are still here.
His suitcase, his bag, the nightstand, under the bed.
Everything.
Mom! Take this, check here.
What's this? It says "insulin.
" He must be diabetic.
If he left that, he must be coming back.
Yeah, either that or he left in a hurry.
- Right.
- There's only dirty clothes in here.
- You're disgusting, man! Gross! - Kids! Kids, kids! Enough, enough! It's okay.
Stop, stop! I found this, damn it.
- It has a password.
- What do I type? One, two, three, four? Try it.
Shit, how many numbers does this have? Hold on.
Here, let me.
Shit, sis! You're like a fucking hacker, huh? - He told me he worked there.
- It doesn't have Wi-Fi.
- It's not connected.
- Well, this hotel must have Internet.
They told us to avoid the Internet.
Oh, right.
That thieving asshole said no.
- Open the pictures.
- Where? There.
Open it! AGE? Alejandro Guzmán Estrada.
Dad's initials.
That's enough, please.
Let them see it, Magda.
Let them see who their father is.
A year ago, I heard the rumor that your dad was having an affair.
Or rather, another affair.
This time in Spain.
What a bastard.
I hired a detective agency, and this is what they found out.
The owner of that agency is Simón.
Congratulations.
You had a good eye.
I'm just saying.
You shoot to kill, Mom, and you know it.
Everyone shoots to kill around here.
Shit, it's a Taser.
Quick statement? Can you comment, please! - Sir? - Hi, Pedro.
I'm guessing you heard that the news leaked.
Yes, I know.
It started on the Internet.
Everything else is just bullshit.
The phones keep ringing.
And the house is surrounded by the damn press.
What about the man my mother hired? He's here, sir.
He hasn't stopped working since he got here.
He searched every corner of the house, talked to the house servants, checked the girls' computers.
All right, let me talk to him.
Hello? Did you find something? There is something.
Okay, go on, then.
This is not a kidnapping.
What? Your family left with the intention of getting out of the country.
That's impossible.
They were going to a table tennis competition.
No, no, I guarantee they were going farther.
No, no, no.
What are you trying to say, anyway? I opened the safe and saw your wife's jewelry.
They're worth several million dollars.
Right now they're barely worth half a million pesos.
- They're all fake.
- What do you mean fake? Well-made counterfeit copies.
Your wife had been planning this for a long time.
What are you trying to tell me? I'm trying to tell you that this kidnapping thing is a smoke screen.
Your family is running away.
Why would they run away from me? I don't know, you tell me.
My kids love me.
- And your wife? - No, Magda is a whole other story.
What kind of story? My kids wouldn't do a thing without me knowing.
Maybe they took their mother's side.
And why would they take their mother's side? I'm not paying you to play detective with me, understand? Alejandro Guzmán, you hit women.
What? You have abused your wife Magda on several occasions.
- There are witnesses.
- No, that is not true.
You gave her such a beating that she ended up in the hospital.
That is a false accusation.
Why do you lie to me? Huh? Why do you lie to me, you scumbag? You want your family back? You want your wife and kids back? Then don't lie to me.
I'm your fucking confessor! You have to tell me the whole truth, always.
I do not judge your actions.
You hired me, yes? And I do the job, period.
So don't you dare waste my time! My kids have everything they want.
You have no idea what your kids want.
My kids want to be with me.
No kid likes to see their mother get a beating.
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.
I want to have this thing sorted in the next 72 hours.
Until then, I don't want you to contact me again.
LOCATING TARGET LOCATED You, out.
- Hello? - The man just left the house.
His cell phone has a tracker in it.
Is there anything else you need me to do? Follow him.
I can't.
I'm in charge of the house as long as the boss isn't here.
I am your boss.
I pay you ten times as much.
What should I say if he calls? 46 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE There, sis.
Sorry.
Biscuits, jacket.
Hang on, I'll pay.
How much is it? I'll pay for it, Magda.
Are you Magda Escudero? You've changed, but I recognize you.
They talked about you on TV this morning.
What's all that fuss about a kidnapping? My name is Ariel Carnicero.
I'm from Radio Benidorm.
I'd like to interview you.
Don't try to fool me.
I'm good with faces.
Come on, go! Go, run! We have to get out of here.
This isn't safe.
We could go to Morocco.
No one will recognize you there and they have good weed.
We can't cross the border without a passport.
Right.
What about Portugal? It's real easy to get to Portugal.
We need a car.
No, don't look at me, okay? I can steal beers, but a car? I mean, come on.
Did you notice what a good thief Mom is? She was going to town! Magda.
Magda, I was just kidding.
Come on.
Mag Shit, Magda.
MEXICO CITY No.
No way.
Gaby! GUZMÃN'S FAMILY KIDNAPPED It's all over the press! And not only in Mexico City, but in the whole country and beyond.
We've set the Internet on fire, my love.
You keep saying "my love" to me, but you do as you please.
I said I would leave, but I didn't.
I'm going to regret that.
But, my love, we got over a 150,000 visits.
If they find out it was me What's wrong with that? We're helping them solve the case.
The family had to break the news, not us.
My love Would you stop calling me "my love"? I took the money.
Sweetheart, we'll be in Hermosillo in a few hours.
Once we get there, you'll see everything will be okay.
- Are you expecting someone? - Don't move.
Don't scream.
Drop the iron.
And you, shut down the computer.
- On the ground, facedown.
- No, please.
I'm not going to hurt you.
On the ground.
No! - Who the hell are you, man? - Hands behind your back.
You, look at me.
Did this pig do that to you? No.
No, no, no, no.
He's my boyfriend.
Swear by our Lord Jesus Christ.
- I swear.
- Cross yourself.
I'm going to ask you some questions and I want you to be precise.
You were with the family when they were kidnapped.
I was.
What time did the alarm clock go off in the house? At 7:00.
Were you in charge of waking the kids up? Yes.
I took a shower and woke them up 30 minutes later.
Don't look at me.
Was the lady already awake? Yes.
She said we had to leave at nine o'clock.
Claudia had a tennis table competition that morning, is that right? Yes, that's right.
Her sister didn't want to go.
She was in a bad mood.
But the lady insisted that all of us go to see her play.
CLASH OF TITANS We are doing everything in our power to find your family.
We have 50 assets working on it.
Thanks, Counselor.
It really means a lot to us.
Since some of the events happened at the racetrack in Madrid, the Spanish police will intervene.
We are not going anywhere.
My son is still recovering.
Should the alleged kidnappers try to contact you, let us know immediately.
It has been chaotic, a big mess.
I understand, and I extend my solidarity to you.
But you should know that we are the only ones capable of handling this kind of issue.
Is that clear? Very clear, Jorge.
From now on, we'll all work together.
Very well.
I'm going to shave.
Do you know something I don't? In just a couple of hours, your attitude has changed.
It's almost as if you've aged 20 years.
I'm in another phase.
Don't try to fool me, Ale.
I know you too well.
That man you hired - K.
- Right.
He said Magda arranged the kidnapping.
What? Yes.
She took the kids.
- You think Magda is capable of? - Yes.
What a bitch.
How could I not see it before? When it comes to women, you don't notice anything at all.
But I didn't think she would be capable of doing something like this.
You have to get rid of that woman.
That's a very ugly thing to say.
She's a dangerous enemy, Ale.
She is the mother of my kids.
She's a bad person.
And you're jealous.
Ale, that woman is crazy.
She needs to disappear from your life and the kids' life as soon as possible.
The solution to this is not a mere divorce, you know? Maybe Maybe K can do it.
A little more money on top and problem solved.
You cannot take a single step without my permission.
Are you going to forgive her? So, where did you say you've been? Shopping.
I told you.
What did you buy? I didn't buy anything because I didn't find the right color.
I ordered it.
They will have it ready next week.
Have you been shopping all afternoon? I was stuck in traffic for over an hour.
It was terrible.
And when I got to the diving shop, it was already closed, so I'll have to go back tomorrow.
DIVORCE LAWYER DIVORCES, SEPARATIONS APPOINTMENT OF PROPERTY CHILD CUSTODY Why do you lie to me? Why do you lie to me? Don't lie to me! You will not take my kids away! Mom, it's full of people downstairs.
Can I go out for a while? But it's a party! You need to talk to Claudia.
She was crying a minute ago.
May I? - Claudia.
- No.
I want to talk to you.
Now you want to talk when there's no solution to anything.
The fights between me and your dad started very early on.
You were very young.
I couldn't share it with you.
Why did you allow it? What? There was a first time.
The first time he raised his hand to you, why didn't you leave him? The first time was a punch to the stomach which knocked the wind out of me.
You were four years old.
Your brother and sister were five.
That afternoon I took you to the theater.
We went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Do you remember? No.
I spent the entire movie thinking of what to do.
When we got back your dad was waiting for us at home.
He had filled the house with flowers and brought over a mariachi group.
He stood in the middle of the yard and started singing a song by Juan Gabriel, "Te lo pido por favor.
" He ended up on his knees, holding emerald earrings in his hands.
You ran out to hug him and then I lost.
I want to speak to him.
Claudia I want his side of the story.
You think I'm making this up? No.
But I want to hear all of this from him.
You know that if you talk to him, I'm doomed.
You understand that, don't you? What about the shit we just saw? Him with that woman.
It's disgusting.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know.
I do.
Trust me.
Be brave and help me with your brother and sister.
You're strong.
Help me.
I just saw your notifications.
I see he's about to go on a trip.
Do we know his destination? Madrid.
Stay there.
I will arrange a flight.
If we're lucky, we'll get there before he does.
Ladies and gentlemen, in a few minutes we will begin takeoff.
Please take your seats and switch off all electronic devices.
Sir.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
You approached me from behind and really startled me.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.
- That's okay.
Anyhow, thank you for smiling.
You have a lovely smile, Lourdes.
Thank you, you're very kind.
- So, what did you want? - Oh, right.
I just wanted to say that you can turn your computer back on once we take off.
- If you wish, of course.
- Thank you, Lourdes.
Excuse me.
May I? Sure.
TobÃas is here.
He's parking the car.
What did he say to you? - He didn't see me.
- So, what do we do? Oh, I don't know.
Well, for now, we won't tell him anything.
Why not? Let's let him talk.
That way, we will find out whether he knows or not.
I'm not about to trust him until I'm a 100 percent sure.
But, Mom, he's going to notice we were there.
- We made a mess of that place.
- Yeah, we don't have time to tidy up.
Never mind.
Hi.
Are you going out? No, I thought someone knocked on the door.
Probably the neighbors, or Well, that's pretty good.
- What is? - Your new look.
- Oh right.
- You look pretty.
Good.
Hey, is Simón with you? Simón? No.
Actually, we haven't seen him all day.
I've been calling him since I left Madrid, but I can't reach him.
Let's see.
Hey, don't you want to come in for a bit, say hello to the kids? No.
No, I'm all sweaty from the trip and I don't Did you eat anything? No, actually.
I'll make you a sandwich.
Come on, it'll only be a minute.
All right.
Listen, I gotta tell you something important, but not in front of them, okay? We'll talk in a minute.
There are journalists from Univisión and Televisa who are not going to leave until they talk to you.
I'll go down.
I'm sick of being here alone.
Where's the nurse? I fired her.
I didn't like her.
- So, who's in charge of your medication? - Me.
I'm in charge.
You don't want to accept that you had a heart attack.
I'm perfectly fine.
You're going to implode, Alejandro, and I won't give a damn.
- No.
Come here.
- What are you doing? Do you want to play with me? I'll prove to you that everything is perfectly fine.
You don't have to prove anything to me.
Come here.
What are you doing? Alejandro, stop.
Stop it! Ale! Alejandro! What are you doing? What are you doing? I don't like this side of you one bit.
You love this side.
It's the one you like the most.
- Come on, don't be shy.
- I'm not your stupid wife.
Let go of me.
What's your deal? You insult me? You insult my wife? If you want to break up with me, say so already.
What, is there someone else? I'm not an animal.
Explain it to me.
You're not an animal.
I would be able to reason with one.
It's impossible with you.
Let go of me right now or I'll tell the press that you just raped me.
You used to like playing like this with me.
That was consensual sex.
This is something else.
Mr.
Guzmán? Who is it? Who is it? Police.
Hello.
I'm Detective Luisa Trujillo.
This is my partner Sergeant Valdés.
Pleased to meet you.
Is everything all right? We heard noises.
Yes, everything's fine.
I just threw a tray.
Is that a Mexican tradition or something like that? What did you want to tell me? Your husband is still in Madrid.
- What? - He didn't go back to Mexico.
He's hiding in a room in one of his hotels.
So that means he knows where we are? No, I'm sure he has no idea.
But he had a heart attack.
- Ale? - The afternoon of the kidnapping.
He's out of danger, but he's four hours away from here by car.
Then we need to get out of here right now! No, what we need to do is remain calm.
Don't you get it? In a matter of hours he'll find out where we are.
All right, let me just talk to Simón.
He'll know what to do.
- I don't trust Simón.
- What? Tell me, where is he? - Do you know where he is? - No.
- Does he know my husband is in Madrid? - Yes, I told him over the phone.
Where are you going? To take a shower, I told you.
Right.
What do you want? Where are you going? What happened here? - I don't know.
- What happened, Magda? I don't Who the fuck came in here? - What? - I don't know! You don't? God fucking damn it.
Where is my tablet? TobÃas, we're ready now.
Open the door.
Mom, are you in there? Open up! Mom, open the door! Mom! Mom? Subtitle translation by: Arturo Fernández
42 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE Is Rubén here? - What? - The kid! No.
Wasn't he with you? That man isn't here either? Rubén was actually acting strange, very withdrawn.
I thought he was just disoriented.
I didn't really think about it, you know? I was worried enough about other stuff It can't be! This is the place! Look, Canalejas Plaza.
You didn't notice it was closed when you came here with Simón? I'm telling you it wasn't like this.
Besides, we talked to the director out on the street.
And that didn't seem weird to you? I don't know, he said it was a very risky operation and that he'd rather take care of it outside the office.
But it's closed! Mom, this is a scam.
Oh, don't tell me that, please.
That bastard stole our money, I'm sure.
And he has taken Rubén.
Ah, fuck.
Look, he took us to that bar over there.
- Where? Over there? - Let's go.
Right there.
Yes.
The woman came back for her glasses.
I went to take out the trash out to the bins and saw a kid arguing with an older person.
Dispatch, it's Ximo.
Could you find out if someone picked up a man about 60 years old? Traveling with a 17-year-old kid, approximately, wearing a T-shirt with the number nine in the front.
- Okay.
About an hour ago.
- An hour.
Here, at the Canalejas stop.
Give me a minute, I'll ask.
There's a police station over there on that corner.
You could go there if you need to.
THE SEARCH - Do you need a receipt? - No.
Julián, this is dispatch.
Did you pick up a fare at the Canalejas stop - about 30 minutes ago? - Affirmative.
Can you pay attention to me and give me my change? Was it a gentleman and a kid wearing a T-shirt that had the number nine on it? The thing is the boy's mother is looking for him.
Turn that off.
- What? - Julián? Dispatch.
- Julián, I'm still - Turn that off.
I said turn that thing off already! Listen, I don't want any trouble.
Then shut your mouth and get the hell out of here, you hear me? Ximo, do you copy? We're here, go ahead.
It seems Julián drove them, but I didn't quite understand him.
He called me on his cell phone.
He was really nervous.
Where did he take them to, though? To the airport, international departures.
He can't be thinking of putting the boy on a plane! Take me to the airport.
- Give me some money.
- Very well.
- Right.
This is all I have, 70 euros.
- Okay.
The fare is 76.
I can take you there, but I won't wait if you don't have more money.
- Is it enough to get there? - Yes, it's enough.
- Well, then take me there, fast.
- Right.
- I'm going alone! - I'm coming with you.
I said no! You stay with the kids till I come back.
- I mean, until Rubén and I are back.
- Okay.
Do you want me to turn on the radio? More reactions to the tragic death of the three children of renowned businessman Vicente Velasco, also known as "Güero.
" It happened yesterday when his private plane crashed just a few miles outside the city of Monterrey.
This morning, after a cabinet meeting, the President of the Republic Pedro, turn off the radio, please.
Turning the radio off won't solve the problem.
Are you really still going on about that? That man is not going to let us live in peace.
He put a bomb in our house.
And of course your response is There's no response because it was an accident.
It happens all the time.
- He'll go after your kids.
- Nothing is going to happen to them.
Oh, really? Wouldn't you do the same if you were him? No, I'm not him.
I'm not a murderer.
I want my kids out of Mexico.
I can't go on like this.
Every noise I hear, every door that opens, every car that passes by our home.
I just can't take it anymore! We're going to a very important dinner.
Please.
Just let me take them away from all this.
I need to be focused, Magda.
I'm closing a very important deal tonight at this dinner.
I don't give a shit about your deals right now! You don't give a shit about anything except living like a queen! Alejandro, please.
Canada, United States.
There are great boarding schools in Europe.
Just for a year, at least.
I said no! My kids are Mexican! They're staying here with me and no one is taking them away from this land! How can you be such a dumbass? - What? - Yeah, you shout, you go mad.
You bawl like a baby, hoping your mommy will come to you! Pedro, stop the car.
- Sir? - I said stop the car.
Get out.
What? Get the fuck out.
I don't need you at this party.
- Alejandro, all right, please.
- Get out! Take me to a gas station, at least.
There's not a soul out here.
There will be one, yours.
A very black soul, by the way.
Get out.
What are you doing now? I'm not about to go out here, God knows where, wearing all of this.
Let's go.
Is that your son, by any chance? He was wearing a T-shirt with the number nine on it, wasn't he? ID, can I see your ID? Stop! Do you understand what I'm saying? Are you a Spaniard? He can't hear you.
He's deaf.
Excuse me, I'm his mother.
We saw him crossing the road and nearly got run over.
Thank God you found him.
Are you okay? Did Simón do something to you? He's getting away.
He's going to get on a plane.
Right.
Anyway, thank you so much.
You've been very kind.
Let's go.
Just a minute.
How old is your son? Seventeen.
I mean, 18! He just turned 18.
May I see the boy's ID? What? We need to see his ID to make sure he's not a minor.
I don't think he has it on him, and neither do I.
I left the hotel in a hurry and forgot about it.
He's a special boy.
He often gets lost.
I have to be very attentive of him.
What's the problem? You don't think he's my son? No, it's okay.
You can go.
Thank you.
Let's go.
What now? Now we need to get our money back.
Are we going back? - No, we carry on.
To the airport.
- Very well.
- Simón, Simón.
- Yes, TobÃas.
Where are you? I hear a lot of racket.
I'm here at the apartment building's swimming pool, watching over these people.
Oh, I'm at the hotel.
And guess what.
Alejandro Guzmán is here as well.
No names, God damn it.
Anyway, what's up? He still in Spain or what? Yup.
He hasn't left the room since he arrived.
Why? At reception, after a generous tip which I'll bill you for, they told me that a cleaning lady saw him lying on a bed and he didn't look well.
- Really? Is he sick? - Apparently a nurse is taking care of him.
Oh, well, that changes everything.
We need more information.
His girlfriend works at the hotel.
Look for her.
Yeah, a roast She's four tables away from me.
Well, that's it, then! Huh? She will take you to him.
I'm not sure about this.
It's very important that we get this guy under control.
Find out what you can and come back.
- All right.
- Okay, we'll talk later.
The boarding pass you saw, were you able to see the destination? It was a long name.
Four syllables.
Try to remember.
COPENHAGEN Copenhagen, yes.
There's no boarding gate yet.
He should still be here.
Come on.
Simón! Please, coming through! - My money! - What money? You know what I'm talking about.
That money does not exist.
Of course it does.
It's mine.
Prove it.
Look, there's the police.
Go and tell them I'm taking money that I don't have on me.
Money that formally never left Mexico, never entered Spain, and there's no record of.
Just like there's no record of you or your kids entering Spain.
That's the situation.
You know that if you leave me with nothing, I won't be able to overcome this.
You do know that, right? You're young, beautiful.
You have a better chance than I do.
Simón! If I were you, I would haul ass out of here.
Let's go.
We're not going to do anything? There's nothing we can do.
Let's go.
Perhaps some of you fashion addicts will remember Magda Escudero, one of the most attractive faces of the late '90s.
Her career was fleeting, but for a while she was one of the most favored models in the world by designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Giorgio Armani, Carolina Herrera.
In 1998, she was about to hit the peak of her career when she decided to marry Mexican businessman Alejandro Guzmán, owner of one of the biggest hotel chains in the world.
Since then, she has lived in Mexico, dedicating her life to her family.
Well, we recently found out that Magda Escudero and her children were kidnapped three days ago.
The details of the incident remain unknown as well as the whereabouts of the businessman, who has yet to make a statement.
Will you excuse me for a minute? - Excuse me! Hello.
- Hi.
- You're the hotel's PR rep, aren't you? - I am.
Can I help you? It's my mother.
She suffers from apnea and has to stay alone tonight.
She gets scared sometimes.
I thought I saw a nurse around here yesterday.
- Is that possible? - Yes, that was a personal service.
Oh, I see.
Yes, a client had a heart attack.
- So, when things like that happen - Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry.
- I need to go.
Ask at the reception desk.
- Sure, all right.
Whoever leaked the news better watch their back.
Do you realize what could happen after all this? Look, we're on the news around half the world.
The press will be here.
What should I tell them? I don't want the press.
I want my kids.
What are you doing? I'm protecting you.
You want another heart attack? Everything's fine.
He's an adult.
And if he needs a mother, I'm here.
My love, what you need to do is unwind.
Unwind, okay? Whoever leaked the news is someone very close to us.
That means there's a spy among us.
It wouldn't be the first time.
Why don't you go back to bed? I've called a doctor.
I don't want him to see you up as if everything is fine.
I want to take a shower.
Oh, finally! Rubén! What took you so long? We had to take the bus.
- What about the old man? That Simón guy.
- Oh, right.
"That Simón guy.
" That Simón guy has left us high and dry.
He took our money.
What did you say, Rubén? Mom.
- You heard him right.
- He took three million euros? - How much is that in dollars? - Like, three and a half, man.
So you got scammed three and a half million dollars by that dude? Where's that asshole? On a plane to Copenhagen.
Shit.
So why are we not going there? How are we going to go if we have nothing? So you're trying to say that we are poor and undocumented? Like rats.
No! I don't want to be poor.
You don't have to want it, dumbass, you're already poor.
- No, I don't want to be.
- No one wants to be poor, honey.
Wait a minute.
Simón's gone, but what about the other guy? Who, the younger one? Uh-huh, TobÃas.
Those two are working together for sure.
He's in Madrid, but his things are still here.
His suitcase, his bag, the nightstand, under the bed.
Everything.
Mom! Take this, check here.
What's this? It says "insulin.
" He must be diabetic.
If he left that, he must be coming back.
Yeah, either that or he left in a hurry.
- Right.
- There's only dirty clothes in here.
- You're disgusting, man! Gross! - Kids! Kids, kids! Enough, enough! It's okay.
Stop, stop! I found this, damn it.
- It has a password.
- What do I type? One, two, three, four? Try it.
Shit, how many numbers does this have? Hold on.
Here, let me.
Shit, sis! You're like a fucking hacker, huh? - He told me he worked there.
- It doesn't have Wi-Fi.
- It's not connected.
- Well, this hotel must have Internet.
They told us to avoid the Internet.
Oh, right.
That thieving asshole said no.
- Open the pictures.
- Where? There.
Open it! AGE? Alejandro Guzmán Estrada.
Dad's initials.
That's enough, please.
Let them see it, Magda.
Let them see who their father is.
A year ago, I heard the rumor that your dad was having an affair.
Or rather, another affair.
This time in Spain.
What a bastard.
I hired a detective agency, and this is what they found out.
The owner of that agency is Simón.
Congratulations.
You had a good eye.
I'm just saying.
You shoot to kill, Mom, and you know it.
Everyone shoots to kill around here.
Shit, it's a Taser.
Quick statement? Can you comment, please! - Sir? - Hi, Pedro.
I'm guessing you heard that the news leaked.
Yes, I know.
It started on the Internet.
Everything else is just bullshit.
The phones keep ringing.
And the house is surrounded by the damn press.
What about the man my mother hired? He's here, sir.
He hasn't stopped working since he got here.
He searched every corner of the house, talked to the house servants, checked the girls' computers.
All right, let me talk to him.
Hello? Did you find something? There is something.
Okay, go on, then.
This is not a kidnapping.
What? Your family left with the intention of getting out of the country.
That's impossible.
They were going to a table tennis competition.
No, no, I guarantee they were going farther.
No, no, no.
What are you trying to say, anyway? I opened the safe and saw your wife's jewelry.
They're worth several million dollars.
Right now they're barely worth half a million pesos.
- They're all fake.
- What do you mean fake? Well-made counterfeit copies.
Your wife had been planning this for a long time.
What are you trying to tell me? I'm trying to tell you that this kidnapping thing is a smoke screen.
Your family is running away.
Why would they run away from me? I don't know, you tell me.
My kids love me.
- And your wife? - No, Magda is a whole other story.
What kind of story? My kids wouldn't do a thing without me knowing.
Maybe they took their mother's side.
And why would they take their mother's side? I'm not paying you to play detective with me, understand? Alejandro Guzmán, you hit women.
What? You have abused your wife Magda on several occasions.
- There are witnesses.
- No, that is not true.
You gave her such a beating that she ended up in the hospital.
That is a false accusation.
Why do you lie to me? Huh? Why do you lie to me, you scumbag? You want your family back? You want your wife and kids back? Then don't lie to me.
I'm your fucking confessor! You have to tell me the whole truth, always.
I do not judge your actions.
You hired me, yes? And I do the job, period.
So don't you dare waste my time! My kids have everything they want.
You have no idea what your kids want.
My kids want to be with me.
No kid likes to see their mother get a beating.
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.
I want to have this thing sorted in the next 72 hours.
Until then, I don't want you to contact me again.
LOCATING TARGET LOCATED You, out.
- Hello? - The man just left the house.
His cell phone has a tracker in it.
Is there anything else you need me to do? Follow him.
I can't.
I'm in charge of the house as long as the boss isn't here.
I am your boss.
I pay you ten times as much.
What should I say if he calls? 46 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE There, sis.
Sorry.
Biscuits, jacket.
Hang on, I'll pay.
How much is it? I'll pay for it, Magda.
Are you Magda Escudero? You've changed, but I recognize you.
They talked about you on TV this morning.
What's all that fuss about a kidnapping? My name is Ariel Carnicero.
I'm from Radio Benidorm.
I'd like to interview you.
Don't try to fool me.
I'm good with faces.
Come on, go! Go, run! We have to get out of here.
This isn't safe.
We could go to Morocco.
No one will recognize you there and they have good weed.
We can't cross the border without a passport.
Right.
What about Portugal? It's real easy to get to Portugal.
We need a car.
No, don't look at me, okay? I can steal beers, but a car? I mean, come on.
Did you notice what a good thief Mom is? She was going to town! Magda.
Magda, I was just kidding.
Come on.
Mag Shit, Magda.
MEXICO CITY No.
No way.
Gaby! GUZMÃN'S FAMILY KIDNAPPED It's all over the press! And not only in Mexico City, but in the whole country and beyond.
We've set the Internet on fire, my love.
You keep saying "my love" to me, but you do as you please.
I said I would leave, but I didn't.
I'm going to regret that.
But, my love, we got over a 150,000 visits.
If they find out it was me What's wrong with that? We're helping them solve the case.
The family had to break the news, not us.
My love Would you stop calling me "my love"? I took the money.
Sweetheart, we'll be in Hermosillo in a few hours.
Once we get there, you'll see everything will be okay.
- Are you expecting someone? - Don't move.
Don't scream.
Drop the iron.
And you, shut down the computer.
- On the ground, facedown.
- No, please.
I'm not going to hurt you.
On the ground.
No! - Who the hell are you, man? - Hands behind your back.
You, look at me.
Did this pig do that to you? No.
No, no, no, no.
He's my boyfriend.
Swear by our Lord Jesus Christ.
- I swear.
- Cross yourself.
I'm going to ask you some questions and I want you to be precise.
You were with the family when they were kidnapped.
I was.
What time did the alarm clock go off in the house? At 7:00.
Were you in charge of waking the kids up? Yes.
I took a shower and woke them up 30 minutes later.
Don't look at me.
Was the lady already awake? Yes.
She said we had to leave at nine o'clock.
Claudia had a tennis table competition that morning, is that right? Yes, that's right.
Her sister didn't want to go.
She was in a bad mood.
But the lady insisted that all of us go to see her play.
CLASH OF TITANS We are doing everything in our power to find your family.
We have 50 assets working on it.
Thanks, Counselor.
It really means a lot to us.
Since some of the events happened at the racetrack in Madrid, the Spanish police will intervene.
We are not going anywhere.
My son is still recovering.
Should the alleged kidnappers try to contact you, let us know immediately.
It has been chaotic, a big mess.
I understand, and I extend my solidarity to you.
But you should know that we are the only ones capable of handling this kind of issue.
Is that clear? Very clear, Jorge.
From now on, we'll all work together.
Very well.
I'm going to shave.
Do you know something I don't? In just a couple of hours, your attitude has changed.
It's almost as if you've aged 20 years.
I'm in another phase.
Don't try to fool me, Ale.
I know you too well.
That man you hired - K.
- Right.
He said Magda arranged the kidnapping.
What? Yes.
She took the kids.
- You think Magda is capable of? - Yes.
What a bitch.
How could I not see it before? When it comes to women, you don't notice anything at all.
But I didn't think she would be capable of doing something like this.
You have to get rid of that woman.
That's a very ugly thing to say.
She's a dangerous enemy, Ale.
She is the mother of my kids.
She's a bad person.
And you're jealous.
Ale, that woman is crazy.
She needs to disappear from your life and the kids' life as soon as possible.
The solution to this is not a mere divorce, you know? Maybe Maybe K can do it.
A little more money on top and problem solved.
You cannot take a single step without my permission.
Are you going to forgive her? So, where did you say you've been? Shopping.
I told you.
What did you buy? I didn't buy anything because I didn't find the right color.
I ordered it.
They will have it ready next week.
Have you been shopping all afternoon? I was stuck in traffic for over an hour.
It was terrible.
And when I got to the diving shop, it was already closed, so I'll have to go back tomorrow.
DIVORCE LAWYER DIVORCES, SEPARATIONS APPOINTMENT OF PROPERTY CHILD CUSTODY Why do you lie to me? Why do you lie to me? Don't lie to me! You will not take my kids away! Mom, it's full of people downstairs.
Can I go out for a while? But it's a party! You need to talk to Claudia.
She was crying a minute ago.
May I? - Claudia.
- No.
I want to talk to you.
Now you want to talk when there's no solution to anything.
The fights between me and your dad started very early on.
You were very young.
I couldn't share it with you.
Why did you allow it? What? There was a first time.
The first time he raised his hand to you, why didn't you leave him? The first time was a punch to the stomach which knocked the wind out of me.
You were four years old.
Your brother and sister were five.
That afternoon I took you to the theater.
We went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Do you remember? No.
I spent the entire movie thinking of what to do.
When we got back your dad was waiting for us at home.
He had filled the house with flowers and brought over a mariachi group.
He stood in the middle of the yard and started singing a song by Juan Gabriel, "Te lo pido por favor.
" He ended up on his knees, holding emerald earrings in his hands.
You ran out to hug him and then I lost.
I want to speak to him.
Claudia I want his side of the story.
You think I'm making this up? No.
But I want to hear all of this from him.
You know that if you talk to him, I'm doomed.
You understand that, don't you? What about the shit we just saw? Him with that woman.
It's disgusting.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know.
I do.
Trust me.
Be brave and help me with your brother and sister.
You're strong.
Help me.
I just saw your notifications.
I see he's about to go on a trip.
Do we know his destination? Madrid.
Stay there.
I will arrange a flight.
If we're lucky, we'll get there before he does.
Ladies and gentlemen, in a few minutes we will begin takeoff.
Please take your seats and switch off all electronic devices.
Sir.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
You approached me from behind and really startled me.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.
- That's okay.
Anyhow, thank you for smiling.
You have a lovely smile, Lourdes.
Thank you, you're very kind.
- So, what did you want? - Oh, right.
I just wanted to say that you can turn your computer back on once we take off.
- If you wish, of course.
- Thank you, Lourdes.
Excuse me.
May I? Sure.
TobÃas is here.
He's parking the car.
What did he say to you? - He didn't see me.
- So, what do we do? Oh, I don't know.
Well, for now, we won't tell him anything.
Why not? Let's let him talk.
That way, we will find out whether he knows or not.
I'm not about to trust him until I'm a 100 percent sure.
But, Mom, he's going to notice we were there.
- We made a mess of that place.
- Yeah, we don't have time to tidy up.
Never mind.
Hi.
Are you going out? No, I thought someone knocked on the door.
Probably the neighbors, or Well, that's pretty good.
- What is? - Your new look.
- Oh right.
- You look pretty.
Good.
Hey, is Simón with you? Simón? No.
Actually, we haven't seen him all day.
I've been calling him since I left Madrid, but I can't reach him.
Let's see.
Hey, don't you want to come in for a bit, say hello to the kids? No.
No, I'm all sweaty from the trip and I don't Did you eat anything? No, actually.
I'll make you a sandwich.
Come on, it'll only be a minute.
All right.
Listen, I gotta tell you something important, but not in front of them, okay? We'll talk in a minute.
There are journalists from Univisión and Televisa who are not going to leave until they talk to you.
I'll go down.
I'm sick of being here alone.
Where's the nurse? I fired her.
I didn't like her.
- So, who's in charge of your medication? - Me.
I'm in charge.
You don't want to accept that you had a heart attack.
I'm perfectly fine.
You're going to implode, Alejandro, and I won't give a damn.
- No.
Come here.
- What are you doing? Do you want to play with me? I'll prove to you that everything is perfectly fine.
You don't have to prove anything to me.
Come here.
What are you doing? Alejandro, stop.
Stop it! Ale! Alejandro! What are you doing? What are you doing? I don't like this side of you one bit.
You love this side.
It's the one you like the most.
- Come on, don't be shy.
- I'm not your stupid wife.
Let go of me.
What's your deal? You insult me? You insult my wife? If you want to break up with me, say so already.
What, is there someone else? I'm not an animal.
Explain it to me.
You're not an animal.
I would be able to reason with one.
It's impossible with you.
Let go of me right now or I'll tell the press that you just raped me.
You used to like playing like this with me.
That was consensual sex.
This is something else.
Mr.
Guzmán? Who is it? Who is it? Police.
Hello.
I'm Detective Luisa Trujillo.
This is my partner Sergeant Valdés.
Pleased to meet you.
Is everything all right? We heard noises.
Yes, everything's fine.
I just threw a tray.
Is that a Mexican tradition or something like that? What did you want to tell me? Your husband is still in Madrid.
- What? - He didn't go back to Mexico.
He's hiding in a room in one of his hotels.
So that means he knows where we are? No, I'm sure he has no idea.
But he had a heart attack.
- Ale? - The afternoon of the kidnapping.
He's out of danger, but he's four hours away from here by car.
Then we need to get out of here right now! No, what we need to do is remain calm.
Don't you get it? In a matter of hours he'll find out where we are.
All right, let me just talk to Simón.
He'll know what to do.
- I don't trust Simón.
- What? Tell me, where is he? - Do you know where he is? - No.
- Does he know my husband is in Madrid? - Yes, I told him over the phone.
Where are you going? To take a shower, I told you.
Right.
What do you want? Where are you going? What happened here? - I don't know.
- What happened, Magda? I don't Who the fuck came in here? - What? - I don't know! You don't? God fucking damn it.
Where is my tablet? TobÃas, we're ready now.
Open the door.
Mom, are you in there? Open up! Mom, open the door! Mom! Mom? Subtitle translation by: Arturo Fernández
