MCALLEN, TEXAS
UNITED STATES
Smile, Ricardo!
Aren't you glad to see your sister?
I came all the way from Reynosa
just to see you.
I
am seeing someone.
Someone you know.
I want your blessing.
I'm tired of this.
I'm fed up with your shouting,
your violence, your sexism,
your drinking, everything!
I don't know who you are!
See?
See what you do?
I swear I've tried everything,
but I can't do this anymore.
It's over.
Be quiet, Ponchito.
We'll go somewhere better, OK?
Want to see Daddy?
Want? Taxi!
Let's go see Daddy.
I know what will cheer you up.
How are they?
Really good.
They eat so much.
Poncho is so messy.
Not Daniel, though.
He
is always so calm.
Thinking everything through.
I promise I'll be with you
before you know it.
My boys.
You're not going to tell me
what you were doing in there?
A NETFLIX SERIES
Nothing, it was an accident.
I got lost.
Poncho, you can trust me.
SERIAL KILLER SENTENCED
TO 25 YEARS IN PRISON
IN THE UNITED STATES
I'm going to be your boss.
I have to go.
I'm glad you decided
to become one of us.
It's him.
Come here.
Hey, it's late.
I have to go to my photo shoot.
No way.
No, you're delicious.
- You know what we should do?
- Tell me.
Give me your autograph so I can sell it
and become a millionaire
when you're famous.
Julián has his own party right here.
A party you weren't invited to.
What are you doing?
Nothing better to do than watch?
Or do you like it?
No, we didn't see anything,
right, sweetie?
Too bad.
You could learn a couple things
and finally keep her satisfied.
Julián.
- You stay here. You're drunk.
- Zip it, asshole.
Julián, hey.
Julián!
- How do I look?
- Good.
Thanks.
Smile.
This is the captain.
The fire is six miles away
from the station via Periférico.
We've sent the location.
There are houses at risk.
- Let's go, let's go!
- What's up with you?
What's wrong with you?
Get a move on, dude.
- Let's go!
- Look in there.
- There are victims.
- Go.
Pedraza, Julián, move it!
- I can do it!
- No, not you.
Figueroa, Lozano,
go around the back.
Let's see if you can get the woman out.
Help!
Please someone help me!
Go in, I'll back you up.
- You stay here. You're drunk.
- Zip it, asshole.
- I'm going in!
- Be careful.
Pedraza here. Julián is going in
to check the ground floor.
Help, please!
Somebody please help me!
This is your fault!
You killed your brother, Julián!
You stay here. You're drunk.
Should we fall back?
I'm going in!
Help, help! I'm upstairs!
Pedraza, no!
Help! Help!
Get out of here!
Help me, please!
Help!
You are a murderer, you are useless.
Do something, Julián!
What the hell happened, Julián?
- Get backup!
- Help!
I'm going in, Pedraza!
[woman] Please, come!
Stay calm, bro.
I'll get you out of here.
[woman] Somebody help me!
Please!
Help!
Help! Pedraza is injured!
Help! Help!
Get him out.
Help me, please!
I'm here, please!
I'm going to get you out of here.
Don't worry.
Get back.
Don't worry.
Quick, be careful.
We're going downstairs. Hold on to me.
Stay calm, stay calm.
Hold on tight.
Just stay calm.
The structure is very damaged.
The team is fine.
We have a survivor
being taken to the nearest hospital.
Were you with him?
How could you let this happen?
You have to protect your team
before the damn structure!
Let me remind you
that you are captain.
It was in your hands, too supposedly.
'BUTCHER OF REYNOSA' CAUGH
I wanted to write a report
about the 25 years
since the "Butcher of Reynosa" was caught.
It's no coincidence
that you were born in Reynosa
and lost your parents.
You have to know how your mom died.
It isn't the story you were told.
Daniel knew the truth about your parents.
BUTCHER'S ATTORNEY:
'RICARDO URZÚA IS INNOCENT'
Olivia, great work today.
- How is Pedraza?
- They took him to the ICU.
That shouldn't have happened.
I should have been with him,
but the lieutenant didn't let me go in.
Is Julián always so irresponsible?
I won't bad-mouth my partners.
I can tell you're passionate
about your work.
You're a good firefighter.
- But if Julián needs to be punished
- Good night.
Hold on a sec.
This roll is finished.
No way!
Let me see if I can get another.
I'll be right back.
- Hi!
- Good evening.
Come in, please.
I brought you a present.
This is the first medal
Raúl was given.
I want you to have it.
He said it brought him luck,
and that's just what you need.
So, here's you fairy godmother.
Ta-da!
Thank you.
I'll help you out.
I'm going to talk to the Fire Chief.
So your secret remains
a secret.
Thank you so much.
No one will kick you out of here.
I promise.
You don't get it.
I've been here for over 15 years.
I'm the lieutenant.
I'm sorry, but you can't see
the Fire Chief without an appointment.
But this is urgent.
There is a situation I have to report.
- Fill out this form and maybe
- I don't need a form.
I need to know who named the captain
and why I wasn't notified.
Nor any of my teammates.
That's what I need to know.
- Hi, Ángel.
- Hi, Glorita.
Hi, sweetie.
I have an appointment
with the commission at ten.
Miss Glorita, it's been so long.
You used to bring cupcakes,
when will you bring them again?
It all depends on this meeting.
It'll go great, you'll see.
- I hope so.
- Miss Gloria.
We've been waiting for you.
It's so nice to see you after so long.
- You look great.
- Thank you.
See you later. Thanks.
- See you later.
- After you.
Right on time.
What I have to say is very important.
OK.
Have you ever
felt like you're a bad person?
Guilt is a bitch, ain't it?
Guilt for what?
Parents shouldn't have their 8-year-old
take care of a 3-year-old.
It wasn't even a real pool.
It was just an old tub.
My parents wouldn't even let us
play in the water, but it was so hot.
Do you know why I decided
to become a firefighter?
Every emergency is a chance
to save my brother.
Go back to being eight
and rescue my brother in time.
Instead of feeling guilty,
his death will lead to rescues.
But no.
I killed him again today.
Julián.
Pedraza's accident wasn't your fault.
I was drunk, Ana!
I shouldn't have been there.
I'm the only one to blame.
I imagine patient confidentiality
applies to Ángel as well.
Because if he finds out,
he'll try to screw me over.
I'm here to help.
Not to be a snitch.
I'm beyond fixing.
Don't waste your time.
Ricardo introduced himself
to all of us using his real name.
So he isn't worried about us
looking him up online
I know, I don't have any answers.
But he gave us his real name,
that must mean something.
But this son of a bitch killed my mom
and Daniel.
He was in prison for 25 years in the US.
- Why in the USA?
- One of his victims was American.
Poncho.
If Ricardo is really a murderer,
if he killed your mom and your brother,
you're in grave danger.
That doesn't matter.
It's important that I join the squad.
I'll start the course tomorrow.
Hey.
So, here I am.
Thinking.
I have to turn in something for school.
But I don't know where to start.
You know what?
Everyone should learn to knit,
it's the best way to focus.
I'd be a total disaster.
I'm sure you wouldn't.
Have you used the blanket I made for you?
Yeah. It's on my bed.
OK.
Have you ever thought about selling
the things you knit?
That could be a good idea.
Commander,
could we talk for a few minutes?
Of course.
Far from here.
Perfect.
Why look at emotional expression
as a sign of weakness?
We all need to process
what we go through.
Don't tell me your own traumas
don't come out every now and then.
Román was very satisfied
with the post-traumatic
assistance plan we had in place.
Let me prove to you that it's worth it.
If Artemio Román trusted you,
who am I to contradict him?
We have to act quickly.
No one can think he is a serial killer.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to tell them?
No.
At least not right now.
First, I need more information.
So I'm going to use these three months
to get all I can on Ricardo.
Then I'll confront him.
When he least expects it.
I'll look him in the eye
and tell him I know his secret.
In front of everyone.
I love it.
- Olivia Wait.
- What?
- I'm talking about something serious.
- So am I.
If you want to be a firefighter,
you have to be less intense.
And you have to learn how to calm me down.
Alfonso Quiroga.
You're so good for me.
CAPTAIN
Let's go! Let's go!
Quick, move it!
Move it!
CAPTAIN
You have to stop cheating.
GYM
Again.
That's it. Now in profile.
- So, class A fire
- Without seeing.
OK. Start with all
- the materials that contain
- Carbon.
Like
Wood, paper, cardboard, fabric.
Good work, Poncho.
ROOM 6
Your patient just died.
RAÚL PADILLA ARELLANO FIRE STATION
What is it?
- No!
- I want to be with you.
No, no, no! It's against the rules!
Well, technically, I'm not a firefighter.
But you finished the course.
Then it's my graduation present.
Hey.
Olivia?
I think you'd be more comfortable
getting a room.
Or maybe not?
What?
Could you repeat that?
If you put your phone down,
we wouldn't have to repeat everything.
Don't talk to me like that.
It's clear
that the future star singer
needs our help.
If I'm accepted in Fine Arts,
you can call me a star singer.
But for now, I'm just a student
with an audition next week
- and I need to decide what to wear.
- Don't worry about that!
I'm an expert in this area.
That's why I'm the lead
in a campaign for
Although we have our doubts.
So far no one has seen
any proof of this campaign.
Look, idiot, with all the money I'm making
I'll be moving out soon
and I won't have to deal with you.
Can you stop fighting?
I only have one chance
to get into Fine Arts.
And I don't want to mess it up.
Will you help me or not?
OK.
Finally doing a good job.
We all do everything.
From the most insignificant
to the most heroic tasks.
When is my graduation ceremony?
Do you know how long it took
me to put out a fire?
You think you're ready?
Calm down.
Your time will come.
Hey, someone's looking for you.
Who?
If you're here about the explosion,
I already said everything.
The investigation is ongoing.
We just wanted to know
if there's anything you wanted to add.
Anything, kid, no matter
how insignificant it may seem.
No.
I told them everything.
Look, we want to get
the asshole who killed your brother.
And blew up the car.
The only thing
tying the two together is you.
- Are you insinuating something?
- Calm down, calm down.
We're just performing routine visit.
But next time we see each other,
you better be more cooperative.
Got it?
Why didn't you tell them?
Because I don't trust them.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
Any news?
No.
I'm so sorry.
I'd do anything to change all this
and
to be the one in that room.
I'm so sorry.
I was looking for you!
I have a surprise for you.
Remember you asked me
if I might sell the stuff I knit?
Well, since then,
I've been designing a website.
So I can start selling online.
Congratulations, bro.
You gotta capitalize on your talent.
How old are you?
Just turned 20.
People say I'm an old soul.
Fabio?
The thing is, in order to do this,
I need some help.
Between school
and designing things on my own,
I don't have the time.
Plus, accounting
is definitely not my thing.
You aren't good at math.
Math hates me.
But they love me.
Would math be willing
to let you help me out?
Or would it get jealous?
Do it in Daniel's memory.
There is no choice!
You can avenge his death.
Problems?
Sorry.
I didn't see you.
You don't have to apologize.
What did those cops want?
Who's spreading rumors?
No one.
I saw them.
Did something happen?
Nothing happened. Excuse me.
Poncho
If anything bad happens,
there's a whole team
behind you to help you.
We firefighters are a family.
I don't have a family.
We all have a family.
I don't.
It's weird.
Everyone says you randomly showed up.
Is that true?
I don't know why they say that.
I was born a firefighter.
Where have you been all these years?
With another squad?
I was far away.
Out of the country.
In the USA?
I see rumors fly.
Yes, I was in the USA.
But I came back
because this is where I belong.
Because my people are here.
Your people?
Do you have a family?
Here in town?
I do.
I have a family here in Mexico.
And please don't be this formal, Poncho.
I don't see why.
You're just my boss.
You aren't my friend.
You can count on me for anything.
He has a family.
- Who?
- Ricardo, I just talked to him.
He said he was in the USA
for a long time
and came back to Mexico
for his family.
- So? What do we do?
- Figure out who they are.
- Where they live.
- OK. But, without their names
- how can we look?
- No, I've been looking
for that information for months.
All there is online
is his arrest, that's it.
So what do we do?
I need to go to McAllen.
We have to go to the prison
where he was locked up.
They must have information on him there.
I could also talk to Betty, his attorney.
That's all I can think of
to get the information I need.
Let's go.
Let's go! We'll take a trip.
- Let's just go.
- Where?
Are you taking a trip?
Yeah, we have some personal affairs
to attend to.
- Together?
- Yeah. Together.
Where are you going?
To the USA.
The United States?
Yeah. Texas.
To McAllen, actually.
Have you been to McAllen, Captain?
Silence.
This court sentences
Ricardo Urzúa to 25 years in prison.
Have you been there?
