1
This series is inspired by real events
and includes references
to historical events and public figures
of the period.
The people, characters, incidents,
locations and dialogue are fictional.
Any resemblance to historical events
and interpretations is coincidental.
Pass me the thread.
- Which one?
- The big one.
How's it look?
- Can you get it out?
- Yes, if we take him to a hospital.
Get him out of the city.
We gave you the pistols to shoot at us,
not for you to kill each other.
AN UNKNOWN ENEMY
Will he make it to Guadalajara?
Yes, the doctor said so.
He needs to be hospitalized
as soon as possible.
Thanks.
How'd you get the cops to leave?
I gave them money from the jar
and a little of mine.
- They didn't say anything?
- No, nothing.
What do I do?
- What do I do?
- Cover him.
- Stop! Stop!
- Stay calm.
It's okay. Don't act strange.
Let's go!
Let's go.
Having the army in the streets
is adding fuel
- to a fire we should be putting out.
- Gentlemen,
in three days, this country
and the foreign press expect a report
in which we talk about the students.
So, what do I tell them?
We should use the report to reinforce
your position of dialogue,
as the Ministry of Interiors has.
His speech would put
an end to the image of conflict.
This is the message we need to send
to resolve this problem.
The department
is in contact with the CNH.
We are close to finalizing
a first meeting,
but, I prefer not to get ahead of myself
and announce such a specific position,
as the good sir proposes.
I agree with Secretary Echeverría.
We can't just say
we only want a discussion.
Above all,
because the invitation
you made to the students
to speak simply won't materialize,
right, sir?
Do what you have to do
to meet with them before the report.
Then we'll know
whether to talk about the discussion.
If you need to speed that up
with the students, I could help, sir.
Let the Ministry of Interiors
take care of it.
Continue drafting the report.
And if these CNH people are calm,
we'll let them know
we're willing in the report.
Mr. Mayor, security forces continue
to watch the city peacefully. Am I clear?
- Yes, sir.
- Well, good.
Let's have a peaceful report.
- Everything all right?
- Yes, I'm coming, one second.
His brother's coming from Guadalajara.
Relax, man.
He'll recover, you'll see.
Is he asleep?
More or less.
He tries to talk, but
I can't understand him.
Can I see him?
- No, you'd better let him rest.
- It's okay. Go ahead.
Joaquín.
It's Alicia.
Do you remember what happened?
Who brought you to the doctor?
Who brought you to the doctor?
Joaquín?
Alone?
Bye.
You have to leave.
You have time to go and come back.
- I'll stay with him.
- No, go.
On my behalf.
I'm not in the mood for an assembly.
You sure?
I'm sure.
And tell me what was decided.
I feel dead. I need to get some rest.
- Do you mind if I stay here?
- Of course not.
You don't want to go to the house?
No, I'll sleep here for a bit.
Go. I'll see you later.
Fine.
- Do you want coffee?
- No, I'm going home.
Everything okay?
- Yes, really.
- Are you sure?
These are the files of the students
who will be at the meeting.
I'm sure more people
from the CNH will go.
These people want to decide
the future of our country?
And Martínez Manatou writing an apology
for the presidential report.
That takes balls.
Secretary, let's allow him
to write whatever comes from his heart.
We continue doing our work.
Lots of interest and willingness
to listen to the kids.
May they leave
the meeting with confidence,
and see you as the president
they'd like to have.
You just make sure that this text
Martínez Manatou is writing
is unrelated to the reality
of the country.
Alicia!
- You scared me!
- I don't know where to go, or what to do.
Where is David? Can I see him?
I just saw Joaquín.
Beto is sorting everything out.
He said you need to leave.
- What? Where to?
- I don't know, wherever.
Yesterday, when you left,
did you see any police, anything?
No.
Anyone following you?
No.
Wait for me.
Don't contact anyone, don't meet anyone.
- Some friends in
- I don't want to know.
He's alive, right?
He's in a delicate state.
Careful.
To be honest, I didn't imagine this.
I don't know how you got him to agree,
but congrats.
After all, the president's smart.
He knows when to shift, change course.
I've seen him work up close,
and I'm still surprised by this.
The important thing now is not to slack.
What do you mean?
The CNH's meeting
with the Ministry of Interiors.
You think Echeverría
will reach to an agreement with them?
I don't know.
But what I can say is
we have to be at that negotiation.
Because if something comes out of it,
it will seriously affect us.
I'm not boycotting that meeting.
I won't manipulate students
when a solution is coming.
No, no. And we'll come to one.
But what's important is we negotiate it
among ourselves. You and I.
I thought I had made
my position very clear.
Of course.
But we must also look
beyond the urgent matters.
I repeat. I'm defending
the institution I lead.
That means respecting the autonomy
of the National Strike Council.
I don't doubt you want a solution
for the student conflict.
But I can't support this.
- Hey, look.
- No need to walk me out.
- At least he's stable.
- Does anyone know where he is?
Nobody knows since yesterday.
- Do we know what he did with the gun?
- No.
If word gets out
about there being guns, it'll be bad.
It's better if people fucking know,
so those bastards are careful!
The guns are hidden well.
Unless Memelas was always armed.
Bullshit. Memelas, dude.
That guy doesn't know shit!
Don't you think it's odd that the one
who fired had a case full of guns?
That is odd, no?
- We have to get that bastard!
- Yes, but where is he?
- Definitely
- Can we talk about the meeting first?
I don't get what freedom
they're talking about.
These kids already do what they want.
That's what they call
"revolutionary spirit"?
The next thing,
they come and make us Cubans, right?
This is not an easy time
in politics, it seems.
Okay, Adrián, enough.
Don't bother Fernando.
Don't worry about it, ma'am.
And indeed, Adrián,
It's not an easy time for politics.
Well, it's always been like that.
A pleasure being with you all.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- This Ribera del Duero is good. Very good.
- You chose a good restaurant, Enrique.
Are you okay?
Water?
What's wrong?
Something gave me gastritis.
How so?
I think the wine did it.
Do you get it very often?
- The gastritis?
- No.
Not a lot.
But the wine is very smooth.
This is why you got us together?
- What are your plans with her?
- Mom.
- What's going on?
- Mom, please.
Enrique.
Laura and I want to get married.
I hope it's before her belly shows.
- Mom.
- What?
Sorry. Excuse me.
- Enrique, sit.
- Fernando.
Sit.
You got her pregnant.
Now you have to get married.
Very good.
Let me congratulate you for starting off
your adult life on the right foot. Bravo.
Cheers.
Excuse me.
If you'll excuse us, in-laws.
He does it to fuck with me.
But he's only fucking himself.
Just like how you fucked
with your dad, remember?
Being ashamed of him,
ignoring him all the time.
Are you comparing me to my dad?
The only thing he could give me
was a popsicle shop.
I haven't stopped opening doors
for your son to get him where he wants.
It's incredible, Fernando,
as intelligent as you are,
that you don't realize
that's what he doesn't want.
Does he know what he wants?
You think you help by defending him?
Why humiliate him in front of his in-laws?
He fucked up getting that girl pregnant.
That girl is going to be his wife.
Well, then we must ask
for the 50,000 pesos back
from Mrs. Manatou
so we can pay for the kids' wedding.
Really?
Everything will be okay.
Sorry.
Hurry, I have a long way to go.
I love you.
I'll call tomorrow
to see how he's doing.
Don't talk to my brother again,
you son of a bitch.
You changed the lock?
Yes.
I'm not your enemy.
If you want to see Daniela,
tell me first.
Yes, I want to see her
and also talk to you.
We have nothing to talk about.
Good night.
The student thing
is already very overused, sir.
It's loaded with political interests.
And that turned it into the danger it is.
I agree. That's why it's necessary
to prevent this opportunity for dialogue
from being wasted
by the Ministry of Interiors.
This will eventually take its toll,
and you know it.
All of these political movements
have only generated tension.
Although it may seem
like a political move,
we must strengthen the channel
that brings us to a peaceful solution.
My opinion about Luis Echeverría
is known to all. I don't like him.
But even so,
and even though I would like to help you,
institutional-level negotiations
have to be conducted by him.
Even at the institutional level
there may be certain exceptions,
as long as it is ordered by the president.
Think about it.
It's in nobody's interest that Echeverría
negotiates with the students.
He's only going to drag it out,
without results.
And the president
should be reminded of this.
Where are you going?
I have stomach cramps.
I'm going to take something.
Poor girl. Again?
And I have to shower. Keep sleeping.
Hello.
Okay.
Memelas, where are you?
What? No
Alicia, what's wrong?
I'm talking to Memelas!
And if he's with the police?
Who knows if he's with them?
- What you said. He's tricking us.
- Okay, calm down, please.
Calm down, now. Relax.
Calm down.
- I don't understand anything.
- Relax.
- I don't understand anything.
- Calm down.
No!
Relax.
Listen.
Are you going?
Are you going?
You go.
What's wrong?
Daniela!
Dani!
Dani, my child. Dani.
What happened to her? You know?
Honey, come.
Dani.
Answer me, Daniela!
What happened?
We were at the park.
I turned, and she was on the ground.
I don't know what happened.
She's doing okay.
They're stabilizing her.
That's all I know.
They're doing some tests.
I was so scared.
Heart disease is related
to childhood diabetes.
We had hoped that these events
wouldn't happen again,
but it's her condition.
What else can we do, doctor?
Control her anxiety.
Because all these events
are related to the nervous system.
We have to avoid high-pressure situations.
I'll give you more information
when I have the results.
Now I need you to sign some papers.
- Okay.
- I'll go.
Stay with her.
Sweetie, do you hear me?
We're going now, love. Okay?
We're going.
- Have you located Barrientos?
- Not yet, sir.
The office hasn't either.
- As soon as he shows up, tell me.
- Of course.
- How many came?
- Five. Here are their files.
They're in the room.
- And the press?
- In the room too.
Mr. Secretary. May I?
Sir, what a surprise.
- Excuse us a moment?
- Yes.
How are you?
The president's office didn't tell you?
How odd.
But oh well, everything was so sudden
We can stop by my office
and coordinate the meeting agenda.
The kids can wait a little.
No, Luis, the meeting with the CNH
will be only with me.
The president's orders.
If you'd like, talk to him directly.
No, no need, Emilio.
- Whatever you need, let us know.
- Thank you, sir.
If you'll excuse me.
Mr. Emilio Martínez Manatou.
Let's take a picture, please.
Yes, let's go in.
Go in, please.
If you already saw this place,
you should've waited inside.
I prefer you inviting me.
Come in.
It's nice.
Your sister's in the hospital.
As far as I know,
Mom didn't give me a sister.
- Would you like to sit?
- No, I'm fine like this.
I came
so we could talk
about the other night. The dinner.
I think I reacted poorly.
I wasn't surprised.
I knew it'd be like that.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why did I have to find out there?
I would've helped you.
With what?
Not to throw your life away.
That's the problem.
If I don't do what you say,
I'm ruining my life.
I can't control you.
But I've gone out of my way
to give you every opportunity.
Which opportunities?
To do the crap you do
believing I'm untouchable,
that I will never have to pay?
I just hope I'll never be that person.
That crap
is to defend my family.
That crap is to build you a future.
What you're describing is your fantasy.
It's what you tell yourself
to justify what you do.
"Fantasy" is playing house
and quitting your job.
That is a fantasy.
You thought I wasn't going to find out?
You'll never stop being a cop, will you?
You're going to be a father.
We'll see how you do.
I just wanted to know
if they said anything
at the police station.
If they know what happened to him.
What do you want the police to tell us?
That they killed him?
- There was no investigation
- What country do you think you live in?
They weren't told anything
from the university?
Nobody helped?
Other friends of Antonio?
Which friend?
Beto?
The guy who gave him money
just to get information?
That friend?
What is it, babe?
Are you okay?
What happened?
Alicia.
What's wrong?
You're a cop.
What? What are you talking about?
You're a cop or in the military, I'm sure.
Yes.
Yes, I'm a cop.
What are you going to do?
Who else knows?
Who else knows?
Where the fuck did you go?
Who did you go with?
Fuck, can't you just mind
your own business?
I have to get you out of here.
I have to, or they'll kill you.
- Who? Why?
- The people who watch me will kill you!
I have to get you out, let's go.
And the girl is okay?
- She's stable, thanks for asking.
- I'm happy to hear.
I have eight kids.
The youngest one is five.
And I adore them.
But even so,
there hasn't been a single day
in which I haven't done
my job as a public servant.
And it's more unfortunate that today,
when so much is at stake, you disappear.
In case you don't know.
SUCCESSFUL FIRST ENCOUNTER
This sets us back, Fernando.
Very seriously.
Now the president will give the speech
Manatou is writing to the nation,
the doors are completely closed on us.
- Mr. Secretary.
- I question your effectiveness.
Not just that,
your loyalty too.
Kill him.
Mr. Secretary.
There's no way the president will speak
in favor of the students in his report.
I guarantee you.
Excuse me.
Look at your shaved head.
The idea is to go as civilians, damn it.
I shave every Monday
since I was in the academy.
Tell everyone to go
in their everyday clothes.
Like normal people!
- Yes, sir.
- Go on!
No more violence, comrade.
No more violence.
Good afternoon.
No more violence.
See you at the march.
No more violence.
No more violence, comrade.
Fucking terrorists.
I've had it up to here
with your fucking strikes.
- Calm down
- Calm, my ass!
I've had it, go study, you bastards!
Get to work, bastards!
Motherfucker! Go to work, bastards!
It has to be real news
that is heard everywhere.
Close this curtain!
El Universal, hello.
They're not letting trucks out of Abastos.
They're students.
And let the press know
so that they can come and take pictures.
Radio center.
Students are killing each other
on Tacuba Street.
Do something! They're rioters!
- Shut up, motherfucker!
- You're the motherfucker. Shameless.
Shut up! Do your chores, bitch!
Come on, motherfucker,
block all the entrances.
Hello.
Service is cut off at four gas stations
in Ixtapalapa.
El Día News, good morning.
I'm in a San Jerónimo gas station.
We're being held here
by some young people.
XEW.
Some guys are diverting cars
in Río Churubusco.
They even took my purse.
They were very violent.
We saw a lady being beaten.
We're just a nervous wreck,
we're scared, and
Nuevo Amanecer Radio.
- Radio del Norte.
- Morning news.
NotiSUR here.
They were about six guys.
They had banners like the CNH.
They started beating up
the milkmen, and stole their trucks.
Has anyone told the police?
Yeah, they're corrupt,
but they should still know.
All right, thanks.
Jorge.
- Where are you going?
- Stop, you idiot!
According to privileged information
from government sources,
a shortage of basic necessities
is expected for the next 48 hours.
El Heraldo de México.
They're hijacking gas trucks in Taxqueña.
This is a direct result of the chaos
on the streets and highways
at the hands of protesters
and troublemakers.
Shameless pig!
That's the way it is, bastard!
"City at War."
"State of Siege."
- What?
- The headline for tomorrow's front pages.
Perfect. Count on this.
CITY OUT OF CONTROL
Mr. President.
- Thank you, Emilio.
- A pleasure, Mr. President.
Let's go.
Let these rich guys play politics.
The dilemma is therefore irreducible.
Should the police intervene or not?
The use of all means of expression
and dissemination
has reached the point of licentiousness.
We have enjoyed very broad freedoms
and guarantees
for demonstrations,
orderly in certain aspects,
but contrary to the text clearly stated
in Article 9 of the Constitution.
We have been tolerant
to the point of criticized excesses.
But everything has its limit,
and we cannot allow the legal order
to continue to be inexorably destroyed,
as it's been happening
before everyone's eyes.
We have the unavoidable obligation
to prevent the destruction
of the essential formulas,
under whose protection
we live and progress.
It's here.
