Accidente (2024) s01e07 Episode Script
Collateral Damage
1
[wind blowing]
Lucía is not to blame
for what her father did.
Life isn't fucking fair I guess.
Hey, I just hope
you at least got to fuck her once.
- I won't let you hurt her!
- Stop it, idiot!
[tires squealing]
Hey, stop it!
Get off!
Motherfucker!
[intense music playing]
I'm the one who got hurt! It was me!
I was the one who picked up his son's body
after he fell out of that bouncy house!

Gol!

[Alex] Dad.
[car doors close]
[Alex, muffled] Are you gonna shoot her?
Dad, please.
You wanna spend
the rest of your life in prison?
- No one's gonna touch me.
- Please, let's go!
[Charro shushes]
Good afternoon!
[knocking]
[tense music playing]
Hmm?
No violence.
- Stop it, please.
- Shh!
Hello?
[Alex] No one's here.
[music continues]
[Charro] Where the fuck are these people?
- Did you tell her we were coming?
- Enough, Dad. Let's go.
[whispering] Hey, Gol, come.
Here. Easy. Easy.
[taps door with gun]
[Alex] There's no one here.
Lucía must be at the police station
because of her father.
I'm not leaving until I've checked
the whole fucking house.
[Gol barking]
- Hey.
- Hey!
- [gunshot]
- [Alex] Lucía, run!
- Get out of my way! You bitch!
- Run!
[intense music playing]
Get off me.
- [Alex] Dad!
- [Charro] Where's the brat?
[Alex] Lucía, run!
- [gunshot]
- [Lucía grunts]
[music continues]
- Hey!
- [gunshot]
[gunshot]
- I'm gonna kill you, bitch!
- Dad, stop it! Run, Lucía!
- [Charro] Piece of shit!
- [Lucía panting]
[grunts]
[tires squealing]
[music continues]
Lucía, stay right where you are!
[engine running]
[Alex] Stop, asshole!
You're out of your mind!
Asshole!
You already decided, boy.
You lost your family
for that piece of ass.
Just remember that bitch is the daughter
of the fucker who killed your brother.
I'm sure Gabito
would be fucking proud of you.
You're insane.
Motherfucker!
CITY POLICE
Some pleasures don't need a prescription.
Remember?
Look what I found.
Dany, your husband
doesn't want to be out on bail.
No defense attorney,
no mitigating circumstances.
He wants
the maximum sentence.
Hey.
I'm really sorry
you have to go through this.
Really.
Look, the last thing I need now
is you to pity me.
On the contrary,
what I feel for you now is empathy.
Dany, I put myself in your shoes and
Hey.
I would love to be able
to take away your pain.
What can I do for you?
Listen, Ulises.
We are just something of the past, okay?
- My life is a mess.
- Mm-hmm.
The last thing I need now
is to complicate it more.
[Ulises] I understand that.
You're absolutely right.
I just want you to be honest with me.
You really mean it?
Are we something of the past?
[gloomy music playing]
[sighs]
[Javier] I don't understand why you want
to make this worse for yourself.
And why do you want
to take us down with you?
David, me, the law firm.
Why don't you want to go to trial?
It's pointless, Javi.
[Javier] It's pointless?
The mitigating circumstances
will reduce your sentence substantially.
There are no mitigating circumstances
for my conscience.
Stop it, okay?
You know,
the victim role doesn't suit you.
Do you know why?
Because you've always been a fighter.
And now it's time for you
to fight for your daughter,
for your wife, and for your marriage.
My marriage is over.
And just to put
the last nail in the coffin,
Ulises Quijada shows up like a scavenger
to feed off of my misfortune.
Do you know what your problem is?
Your problem, my friend,
is that right now
you think you're alone in the world.
And you think that your shit
won't taint the people who love you
and who you love back.
But it will.
And then, later on, you'll regret it.
But it'll be too late.
I'll let that sink in.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Um so, should we begin?
Where is my cash?
Give me a week more or less.
I need to check if the information
you're about to give me
is worth the fortune you're asking for.
It's worth more.
Emiliano will be completely ruined
after I tell you all the truth.
[tense music playing]
The night they arrested Moncho,
the boss went to jail in person
and talked to him.
He offered him money.
He said that if he took the blame,
he would send my boys and I
to the United States.
And that he would give us enough cash
to live on without ever having to work.
And Moncho accepted?
Obviously not.
He didn't want to take the blame
for the death of those poor boys.
And so? What happened?
He threatened him.
He said that he was a fucking drunk.
No one would believe him.
Whereas he was a very prestigious lawyer
who was also suffering
the tragedy of having lost his son.
My poor Moncho was sentenced
without even going to trial.
Hey, Yola, but
what you're saying is very serious.
Do you have proof?
Don't forget I lost my house.
And my husband. And my job.
Oh, but you know?
I live in a luxurious apartment.
Paid by the company of Emiliano Lobo.
Will that be enough?
[music continues]
[camera shutter clicking]
[cell phone vibrating]
You just made my fucking day, Peyote.
You know what to do, man.
Emiliano.
I brought you some food.
You need to eat, man.
It's gonna get tough.
You need to be strong.
I'm not hungry, thanks.
[sighs]
Look, I went to buy this myself, okay?
Daniela asked me to do it.
[hopeful music playing]
You're lucky, brother.
Despite everything,
your wife takes care of you.
Sweetie.
Please, why don't you pick up?
It's the third message I've left you.
Do you need help?
No, thank you,
- What's wrong?
- it's nothing.
The terminal always gets loose.
Are you okay? You're You're shaking.
I'm worried about Lucía.
Why?
I've called many times
and she didn't answer.
Learning about her father,
for her, it was too much.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Let's do this, I'll drive you home.
then I'll come back here and fix your car.
- Yeah?
- No.
- Come on.
- No, thanks.
Why? Dany.
- Damn car.
- Let me help you.
You don't have to go through this alone.
I'm here.
No. No, no.
In this situation,
I shouldn't accept anything from you.
Not even water.
Let's get one thing out of the way,
because here I'm not the enemy.
Do you get it?
I wish you were, huh?
Let me take you home, please.
- Okay,
- Please.
- Come on.
- Let me get my stuff. Wait a minute.
[pensive music playing]
HEROE - PAL - BUDDY
COLLEAGUE - BRO 4 EVER
BRO
[exhales]
[safe beeping]
Fuck's sake.
[beeping]
[Lupita] It's 34.
[beeping]
[safe chimes]
I didn't hear you come back.
[zips bag]
I'm tired of this.
If you want to keep hurting each other
till the day you die,
that's on you.
But I'm leaving.
Tell him I'll get him his money back.
I don't want to owe him.
[nostalgic music playing]
My boy, ever since you were born,
it's been the two of us against the world.
Don't leave me alone.
You're all I have left.
Mom.
I can no longer carry the burden
of having that piece of shit as my father.
Mm?
Oh, my little one. No.
[music continues]
Goodbye.
- I love you.
- No.
Alex, don't.
Of course it's okay,
just give me 15 minutes.
- Laura.
- [Laura] Yes.
Tell security no one comes in
without my authorization.
Of course. Mr. Serrano
is waiting for you in his office.
Okay.
- So, did they call?
- No, no.
- Not yet.
- Uh, how did it go with Emiliano?
Emiliano?
Emiliano wants to be sentenced
and the prosecution
is making it really easy for him.
They named Quijada as the prosecutor.
- No way, man.
- Yeah.
Fucking shit. What's the plan?
The plan is to keep the gringos busy
while I convince Emiliano to go to trial,
and then, if he gets out,
we'll have to try to keep him alive,
because actually some big asshole
ratted him out to Charro,
and now he wants to kill him.
- Come on.
- [voice call chimes]
Ready? They're calling.
No, don't answer, dude. I have
- We're not hanging up.
- [exhales]
Okay, go ahead, answer.
- Answer them.
- Ready?
- Hey, how are you, my friends?
- Hey.
We've just been informed that Mr. Lobo
is accused of causing the accident
where his son and two other children died.
- [Javier] No, no, no,
- No, that's tha that's bullshit.
- I can't say "bullshit", right?
- Misunderstanding.
It's like, like, like
Like a mis misunderstanding. It's like
[David] It's not true, you know?
It's not a problem.
We'll be down there
first thing tomorrow morning.
We want to assess the situation in person
and make a final decision.
- Okay, okay, see you tomorrow.
- Good.
[David] Thank you.
Fucking gringos!
Fuck's sake.
We need to work this out
or face a lawsuit for breach of contract
we won't be able to pay off
in our fucking lifetime!
Yes, I know that!
[tense music playing]
[David] I'll get Carla. I need her
not to publish her story on Emiliano.
BEING POOR, MONCHO GÓMEZ'S SIN
[David] Okay?
- What are you doing here? Go find Carla.
- Okay!
Jesus.
[cell phone vibrating]
Did you get a story worth the fortune
you asked me for, huh?
I got Yolanda Cuenca's account.
Moncho's widow.
It's a bomb, boss.
It's a bomb that can explode
in my face too, but
I think it's the report of my life.
I thought that was the story of that child
who was saved by a miracle.
Hmm, no, because that one
has a happy ending.
This one is pure drama, right?
And we both know that
drama sells better, right?
- Shut up.
- [muffled screaming]
- [shushes]
- [Carla grunts]
[muffled screams]
Daniela made it very clear, Sanoja.
Her colleagues from Jalisco
wanted to ask me a few questions.
That's why I suggest you tone it down.
You're being too impulsive.
I pay you to be my lawyer,
not my therapist.
[Lupita] Charro, Alex is gone.
He took his clothes and some money,
and he said he's not coming back.
What can you expect
from that fucking traitor?
Call him, please, my love.
Why don't you bring us
sandwiches and coffee?
Come, Sanoja!
Agustín!
Please bring back my son.
[Daniela] Now I can understand Lucía.
I'd want to run away from here too.
Hmm.
Where have I heard that before?
Maybe here? In our story?
You're right.
I was this close
to saying goodbye to everything.
My marriage.
My family.
My house.
Dany.
All I know
is that I still think about you.
And you're the love of my life.
Gol.
Come, baby.
You can't imagine how Rodrigo adored Gol.
Here. Come here, baby.
[Gol whimpers]
But now he's gone.
My husband's in jail.
My daughter's
struggling a lot with all this.
And I even struggle to breathe.
- I swear I don't get life anymore.
- Hey.
Dany.
You'll be all right, okay?
Why are you here? To pick up the pieces?
No, no, no. I can't, I really can't.
[line calling]
[cell phone ringing]
MOM CELL PHONE
I don't know if this is a good idea.
Listen, there's nothing else we can do.
If my mom finds out your father
went to murder me at my house
Those two will wipe each other out.
It's better she doesn't know.
HAPPY TRAVELS
SANTA CRUZ THANKS YOU FOR YOUR VISI
[breathing heavily]
- She took a lot of things.
- Really?
God. Where could she be? Hold on.
- Oh. I can't believe it.
- Dany!
[announcer] Welcome everybody.
Please take your seat.
The show is about to begin.
We'd like you
to put your phone on silence.
Thank you very much, and enjoy the show.
[applause in distance]
[Carla] This is the story
that has captivated
all the faithful Catholics in Mexico.
This is Paula, the miracle child.
A nine-year-old who fell from the sky
and was saved by the Virgin,
according to her own testimony.
Paula.
The media has tried to talk to Paula,
but her father, Fabián Vallejo,
a renowned therapist from Santa Cruz,
gave us a response that was aggressive.
What cannot be denied is that her story
has shaken the whole country.
Because this child
makes us believe in miracles.
Carla Robles for The Notion.
[Carreño] What's going on?
We're running behind with that report!
- Carreño. Hello.
- David, why are you here?
I'm looking for Carla.
I really need to talk to her,
but she's not picking up.
She left a while ago.
She's chasing after a big story.
[sighs] Well, you don't get tired
of exploiting people?
Well, the other option
is she's cheating on you with someone.
- Fucker.
- Mm-hm.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Carla, muffled] Get me out of here!
Get me out of here! Help!
[turns radio volume up]
[indistinct chatter over radio]
- [muffled screams]
- [banging on car]
For fuck's sake, shut up!
[muffled screaming]
[screaming]
[wailing]
Shh! Don't move. Shut up!
[screaming]
DAVID CELL PHONE
Tell me you're not defending Emiliano.
- Don't start with that, please.
- No, I'll start whatever I want.
Did you forget that
because of him, Mateo?
No, I didn't forget Mateo is dead.
I didn't forget that it was an accident.
Do you know what I just realized?
That you care more
about Emiliano than my son.
I loved Mateo with all my heart.
So don't say that.
- Loved, huh?
- Mm-hm.
- Loved in the past tense.
- Well
That's the difference between
being a father and not being one.
What should I do?
Do you want me to sit back and watch
our lives fall to pieces around us? Hmm?
Emiliano is my friend and he is alive.
If he goes to prison,
we'll lose the law firm,
we'll lose our jobs,
the gringos will come and take everything.
We'll lose this house!
I'm thinking about the rest of our lives.
How can I make you
understand that, Brenda?
Come on now!
Look at me!
I am your wife, am I not?
When will you be on my side?
- I am on your fucking side!
- That's not true!
[clattering]
[emotional music playing]
[Lucía sighs]
[music fades]
Hey.
Don't be sad.
It'll be okay.
But how long will it be okay?
Did we mess up?
My dad wanted to kill you.
Our families will never
accept us being together.
Not even seeing each other.
I can't live like that.
Can you?
["Resplandor" by María M. Gutiérrez plays]
[breathing heavily]
It's going to be okay.
Hmm?
You'll see.
I'm gonna take a shower.
Okay. I'll be with you in a second.
[Daniela] She's not picking up.
And she didn't answer my texts.
Fucking shit.
Hey.
[Salomé and Nico] Hi.
- [Salomé] Miss Daniela, what a surprise.
- Hi, Salomé.
- Nico.
- [Nico] How are you, ma'am?
[sighs] Fine.
Is Lucía with you, guys?
No, she's not here.
[Daniela] Hmm.
Since she's your best friend
and she was feeling down,
I figured she was with you.
Oh, we called her,
but she's not picking up.
- [Daniela] Hm.
- Should I check inside?
Yeah.
- Is grandma here?
- Yeah.
Okay.
If she calls you,
or if you know anything,
please let me know.
Sure, I'll let you know if she calls me.
Mm-hm.
[Daniela] Thank you.
Why the fuck would you say that?
Where the fuck is she?
[phone vibrating]
Mom?
Honey, where are you?
I was really worried about you.
Mom, I just have to get away
for some time.
Our house just reminds me of Rodrigo
and the fucking lies of my father.
Get away? Where are you, Lucía?
Mom, please, don't worry.
[Alex] Are you coming?
Is that? Are you with Alex?
Lucía, that boy is the last person
you should be with right now.
Tell me where you are
and I'll come get you.
- Fuck, she hung up.
- What? Where is she?
[somber music playing]
- [buzzing]
- [door opens]
[Fonseca] Thank you.
No need to open.
[Fonseca exhales]
I'll be over there.
Here you go.
Clothes, deodorant.
Soap.
You must be thrilled now that
Ulises Quijada is taking over the case.
[inhales]
You catch up, huh?
[exhales]
Lucía has run away.
What?
Wait, where is she? Did you talk to her?
What do you know about it?
She left with Charro's son.
We need to find her.
We need to find them both, now.
What do you mean we need?
I don't think there's much
you can do from here.
I'm gonna have to be
the one who finds her.
Dany.
Dany, Dany, Daniela.
Please, Daniela, stop!
Dany!
Fuck
[pop music playing over speakers]
What will you do?
Are you going to forgive Javier
for defending that fucker?
Imagine.
He loves him like a brother.
How can he turn his back on him
when all he did was kill three children?
I I thought that
That Javier loved Mateo and
And you.
But I was wrong.
Thank you.
There's nothing I can do
to stop this pain.
It never stops.
Although I guess that
it's worse in your case.
You must have memories of Mateo
all over the house.
Does the offer you made me still stand?
Of course.
["Quisiera" by María M. Gutiérrez plays]
Sure.
Brenda.
[music fades]
[Emiliano] Please!
I need to make a phone call, please!
- Fonseca, I have the right to a call!
- Emiliano, stop, keep it down!
Please. Please. Please.
Please, Fonseca, just one call.
I need to call.
My daughter is in danger, Fonseca, please.
[tense music playing]
[hitting buttons]
[line calling]
Pick up.
Hi, I'm Lucía.
Right now I can't answer your call.
[beep]
My baby.
Listen to me, I know I'm not
in any position to give you moral advice,
but please, love.
Honey, your mom needs you.
She's really alone.
The father of the boy you ran away with
is a monster, baby.
Please come back home.
Please.
Fonseca.
I need another phone call. One second.
Please.
[chair creaking]
- [Charro] Hey.
- [gasps]
[shushes] No, no, no, no, no.
Easy, easy, easy. Breathe. Breathe.
Breathe.
- Listen, listen.
- [Carla whimpers]
[Charro] I swear
I didn't want any of this.
I didn't plan for things to go this way,
but Peyote is just fucking violent
and can't control himself, right?
[Carla whimpers]
I'm going to remove the gag.
You're not gonna scream.
- Understand?
- Mm-hm.
Okay.
- [exhales]
- That's it. Breathe. Relax.
This has nothing to do with you, honestly.
Everything's your fucking husband's fault.
Do you see that bed?
In that bed,
your damn husband fucked my wife.
I made that same face. [chuckles]
- Give me her phone.
- [mutters] Where's my phone?
- Here.
- What is this?
- I need your beautiful face.
- [whimpers]
Shh. Easy.
That's right.
[cell phone ringing]
Baby, I've called you like 70 times.
[Charro] Is your phone broken
or what, man? Huh?
Charro.
Can you see where I am?
Since you didn't pick up,
you son of a bitch,
I decided to invite somebody
very special to you
- Look. Say hi, please.
- [whimpers]
to a place very special to all of us.
[terrified] What the fuck is going on?
Charro, Charro, come on, man.
The problem's between you and me.
Well, then come forward,
you piece of shit,
because I'm seriously considering
doing to your wife what you did to mine.
Hmm?
Charro, don't
Don't you dare touch her, man!
She's She's pregnant, dude. I will
I'll do whatever you ask me, man, please!
Ooh.
- [crying]
- [Charro] Oh.
- You're pregnant.
- [sobbing]
Why didn't you say so?
[playful] Your baby
is in her belly right now. That's a baby.
Please, man. I already said
I'll do whatever you want me to.
Please, man.
[Charro] Listen, asshole.
And listen carefully.
[Carla sobbing]
I've been thinking of ways
of how you're gonna make this up to me.
But now I know precisely
how are you gonna pay me back.
[tense music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[tense music builds]
What happened?
Huh?
Why don't you wanna go to school?
Because the other kids make fun of me.
Well, I'm sure that those kids will forget
about all of this really soon, sweetie.
Hmm?
But listen, why don't you,
starting tomorrow,
uh, stop telling them
that you talk to Rodrigo?
That way they'll stop
messing with you, okay?
But I do talk to him.
Why do people outside believe me
but you don't?
- [woman] We want to see the miracle child.
- Listen, everybody. Silence.
Silence all. Listen to me, please, people.
Leave us alone. Come on, please go home!
This is really affecting
my daughter, understand?
My daughter can't perform miracles!
She has no powers,
she's not a healer or anything.
Come on, when will you get tired of this?
Huh? Unbelievable.
Why the hell are you here?
Just to watch this mystical circus and see
if they steal a miracle or something?
- [woman] Let us see Paula.
- Why don't you go away?
Why don't you all leave?
[clamoring]
[men] Let us see her!
- [man 1] We want to see Paula, please!
- [man 2] We want to see her, sir!
[clamoring continues]
[intriguing music playing]
[clamoring continues]
[Brenda] Who did this?
[Avelina] Mr. Javier.
He spent the night working on it.
[investor] Is Mr. Matamoros coming?
He should be here in a minute.
Thank you for your patience.
So, what's exactly the situation
with Mr. Lobo?
- Well, about that, uh
- Hello, uh
- David.
- I'm so sorry I'm late. Sorry, sorry, uh
But I have How could I put it? Good news.
- Good news.
- Really good news.
Good news! Very good news. Laura!
I would like to introduce to all of you,
our new partner, Mr. Mejías. Um
We're gonna do good, uh, business.
Uh good business with him.
Gentlemen.
- Agustín Mejías.
- Hi there.
It's very nice to meet you.
- Shall we sit?
- Yes. Please, sure, go ahead.
- [Charro] How are you finding Mexico?
- Sit down.
Let's sit down
- [Charro] You like it?
- This guy is cool.
He's really good for for the business.
His contacts are the best.
[grunts softly]
Alex?
[Alex] Good morning.
Good morning.
I was about to wake you up.
We need to hurry up.
The bus is leaving soon.
Where are we going?
[Alex] To the US.
Why?
Why so far away?
The farther we go, the better.
Okay.
[gentle music playing]
- Are you okay?
- Yes. And you?
[Daniela] Great, I'll send you Lucía
and Alex's photos and contact information.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
Yes. Yes, yes. I already
put out an Amber Alert,
but I wanted to ask you
personally because I know you're the best.
- [door closes]
- [Daniela] Thank you so, so much.
- Gol!
- [Gol whimpers]
[chuckles]
Why are you here?
How come?
I told Javier to ask the judge
to let me out on bail.
I couldn't stay there
knowing that Lucía is gone.
I already have people everywhere
helping locate Lucía.
[tense music playing]
[Daniela exhales]
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades]
[wind blowing]
Lucía is not to blame
for what her father did.
Life isn't fucking fair I guess.
Hey, I just hope
you at least got to fuck her once.
- I won't let you hurt her!
- Stop it, idiot!
[tires squealing]
Hey, stop it!
Get off!
Motherfucker!
[intense music playing]
I'm the one who got hurt! It was me!
I was the one who picked up his son's body
after he fell out of that bouncy house!

Lucía must be at the police station
because of her father.
I'm not leaving until I've checked
the whole fucking house.
[Gol barking]
- Hey.
- Hey!
- [gunshot]
- [Alex] Lucía, run!
- Get out of my way! You bitch!
- Run!
[intense music playing]
Get off me.
- [Alex] Dad!
- [Charro] Where's the brat?
[Alex] Lucía, run!
- [gunshot]
- [Lucía grunts]
[music continues]
- Hey!
- [gunshot]
[gunshot]
- I'm gonna kill you, bitch!
- Dad, stop it! Run, Lucía!
- [Charro] Piece of shit!
- [Lucía panting]
[grunts]
[tires squealing]
[music continues]
Lucía, stay right where you are!
[engine running]
[Alex] Stop, asshole!
You're out of your mind!
Asshole!
You already decided, boy.
You lost your family
for that piece of ass.
Just remember that bitch is the daughter
of the fucker who killed your brother.
I'm sure Gabito
would be fucking proud of you.
You're insane.
Motherfucker!
CITY POLICE
Some pleasures don't need a prescription.
Remember?
Look what I found.
Dany, your husband
doesn't want to be out on bail.
No defense attorney,
no mitigating circumstances.
He wants
the maximum sentence.
Hey.
I'm really sorry
you have to go through this.
Really.
Look, the last thing I need now
is you to pity me.
On the contrary,
what I feel for you now is empathy.
Dany, I put myself in your shoes and
Hey.
I would love to be able
to take away your pain.
What can I do for you?
Listen, Ulises.
We are just something of the past, okay?
- My life is a mess.
- Mm-hmm.
The last thing I need now
is to complicate it more.
[Ulises] I understand that.
You're absolutely right.
I just want you to be honest with me.
You really mean it?
Are we something of the past?
[gloomy music playing]
[sighs]
[Javier] I don't understand why you want
to make this worse for yourself.
And why do you want
to take us down with you?
David, me, the law firm.
Why don't you want to go to trial?
It's pointless, Javi.
[Javier] It's pointless?
The mitigating circumstances
will reduce your sentence substantially.
There are no mitigating circumstances
for my conscience.
Stop it, okay?
You know,
the victim role doesn't suit you.
Do you know why?
Because you've always been a fighter.
And now it's time for you
to fight for your daughter,
for your wife, and for your marriage.
My marriage is over.
And just to put
the last nail in the coffin,
Ulises Quijada shows up like a scavenger
to feed off of my misfortune.
Do you know what your problem is?
Your problem, my friend,
is that right now
you think you're alone in the world.
And you think that your shit
won't taint the people who love you
and who you love back.
But it will.
And then, later on, you'll regret it.
But it'll be too late.
I'll let that sink in.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Um so, should we begin?
Where is my cash?
Give me a week more or less.
I need to check if the information
you're about to give me
is worth the fortune you're asking for.
It's worth more.
Emiliano will be completely ruined
after I tell you all the truth.
[tense music playing]
The night they arrested Moncho,
the boss went to jail in person
and talked to him.
He offered him money.
He said that if he took the blame,
he would send my boys and I
to the United States.
And that he would give us enough cash
to live on without ever having to work.
And Moncho accepted?
Obviously not.
He didn't want to take the blame
for the death of those poor boys.
And so? What happened?
He threatened him.
He said that he was a fucking drunk.
No one would believe him.
Whereas he was a very prestigious lawyer
who was also suffering
the tragedy of having lost his son.
My poor Moncho was sentenced
without even going to trial.
Hey, Yola, but
what you're saying is very serious.
Do you have proof?
Don't forget I lost my house.
And my husband. And my job.
Oh, but you know?
I live in a luxurious apartment.
Paid by the company of Emiliano Lobo.
Will that be enough?
[music continues]
[camera shutter clicking]
[cell phone vibrating]
You just made my fucking day, Peyote.
You know what to do, man.
Emiliano.
I brought you some food.
You need to eat, man.
It's gonna get tough.
You need to be strong.
I'm not hungry, thanks.
[sighs]
Look, I went to buy this myself, okay?
Daniela asked me to do it.
[hopeful music playing]
You're lucky, brother.
Despite everything,
your wife takes care of you.
Sweetie.
Please, why don't you pick up?
It's the third message I've left you.
Do you need help?
No, thank you,
- What's wrong?
- it's nothing.
The terminal always gets loose.
Are you okay? You're You're shaking.
I'm worried about Lucía.
Why?
I've called many times
and she didn't answer.
Learning about her father,
for her, it was too much.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Let's do this, I'll drive you home.
then I'll come back here and fix your car.
- Yeah?
- No.
- Come on.
- No, thanks.
Why? Dany.
- Damn car.
- Let me help you.
You don't have to go through this alone.
I'm here.
No. No, no.
In this situation,
I shouldn't accept anything from you.
Not even water.
Let's get one thing out of the way,
because here I'm not the enemy.
Do you get it?
I wish you were, huh?
Let me take you home, please.
- Okay,
- Please.
- Come on.
- Let me get my stuff. Wait a minute.

[safe beeping]
Fuck's sake.
[beeping]
[Lupita] It's 34.
[beeping]
[safe chimes]
I didn't hear you come back.
[zips bag]
I'm tired of this.
If you want to keep hurting each other
till the day you die,
that's on you.
But I'm leaving.
Tell him I'll get him his money back.
I don't want to owe him.
[nostalgic music playing]
My boy, ever since you were born,
it's been the two of us against the world.
Don't leave me alone.
You're all I have left.
Mom.
I can no longer carry the burden
of having that piece of shit as my father.
Mm?
Oh, my little one. No.
[music continues]
Goodbye.
- I love you.
- No.
Alex, don't.
Of course it's okay,
just give me 15 minutes.
- Laura.
- [Laura] Yes.
Tell security no one comes in
without my authorization.
Of course. Mr. Serrano
is waiting for you in his office.
Okay.
- So, did they call?
- No, no.
- Not yet.
- Uh, how did it go with Emiliano?
Emiliano?
Emiliano wants to be sentenced
and the prosecution
is making it really easy for him.
They named Quijada as the prosecutor.
- No way, man.
- Yeah.
Fucking shit. What's the plan?
The plan is to keep the gringos busy
while I convince Emiliano to go to trial,
and then, if he gets out,
we'll have to try to keep him alive,
because actually some big asshole
ratted him out to Charro,
and now he wants to kill him.
- Come on.
- [voice call chimes]
Ready? They're calling.
No, don't answer, dude. I have
- We're not hanging up.
- [exhales]
Okay, go ahead, answer.
- Answer them.
- Ready?
- Hey, how are you, my friends?
- Hey.
We've just been informed that Mr. Lobo
is accused of causing the accident
where his son and two other children died.
- [Javier] No, no, no,
- No, that's tha that's bullshit.
- I can't say "bullshit", right?
- Misunderstanding.
It's like, like, like
Like a mis misunderstanding. It's like
[David] It's not true, you know?
It's not a problem.
We'll be down there
first thing tomorrow morning.
We want to assess the situation in person
and make a final decision.
- Okay, okay, see you tomorrow.
- Good.
[David] Thank you.
Fucking gringos!
Fuck's sake.
We need to work this out
or face a lawsuit for breach of contract
we won't be able to pay off
in our fucking lifetime!
Yes, I know that!
[tense music playing]
[David] I'll get Carla. I need her
not to publish her story on Emiliano.
BEING POOR, MONCHO GÓMEZ'S SIN
[David] Okay?
- What are you doing here? Go find Carla.
- Okay!
Jesus.
[cell phone vibrating]
Did you get a story worth the fortune
you asked me for, huh?
I got Yolanda Cuenca's account.
Moncho's widow.
It's a bomb, boss.
It's a bomb that can explode
in my face too, but
I think it's the report of my life.
I thought that was the story of that child
who was saved by a miracle.
Hmm, no, because that one
has a happy ending.
This one is pure drama, right?
And we both know that
drama sells better, right?
- Shut up.
- [muffled screaming]
- [shushes]
- [Carla grunts]
[muffled screams]
Daniela made it very clear, Sanoja.
Her colleagues from Jalisco
wanted to ask me a few questions.
That's why I suggest you tone it down.
You're being too impulsive.
I pay you to be my lawyer,
not my therapist.
[Lupita] Charro, Alex is gone.
He took his clothes and some money,
and he said he's not coming back.
What can you expect
from that fucking traitor?
Call him, please, my love.
Why don't you bring us
sandwiches and coffee?
Come, Sanoja!
Agustín!
Please bring back my son.
[Daniela] Now I can understand Lucía.
I'd want to run away from here too.
Hmm.
Where have I heard that before?
Maybe here? In our story?
You're right.
I was this close
to saying goodbye to everything.
My marriage.
My family.
My house.
Dany.
All I know
is that I still think about you.
And you're the love of my life.
Gol.
Come, baby.
You can't imagine how Rodrigo adored Gol.
Here. Come here, baby.
[Gol whimpers]
But now he's gone.
My husband's in jail.
My daughter's
struggling a lot with all this.
And I even struggle to breathe.
- I swear I don't get life anymore.
- Hey.
Dany.
You'll be all right, okay?
Why are you here? To pick up the pieces?
No, no, no. I can't, I really can't.
[line calling]
[cell phone ringing]
MOM CELL PHONE
I don't know if this is a good idea.
Listen, there's nothing else we can do.
If my mom finds out your father
went to murder me at my house
Those two will wipe each other out.
It's better she doesn't know.
HAPPY TRAVELS
SANTA CRUZ THANKS YOU FOR YOUR VISI
[breathing heavily]
- She took a lot of things.
- Really?
God. Where could she be? Hold on.
- Oh. I can't believe it.
- Dany!
[announcer] Welcome everybody.
Please take your seat.
The show is about to begin.
We'd like you
to put your phone on silence.
Thank you very much, and enjoy the show.
[applause in distance]
[Carla] This is the story
that has captivated
all the faithful Catholics in Mexico.
This is Paula, the miracle child.
A nine-year-old who fell from the sky
and was saved by the Virgin,
according to her own testimony.
Paula.
The media has tried to talk to Paula,
but her father, Fabián Vallejo,
a renowned therapist from Santa Cruz,
gave us a response that was aggressive.
What cannot be denied is that her story
has shaken the whole country.
Because this child
makes us believe in miracles.
Carla Robles for The Notion.
[Carreño] What's going on?
We're running behind with that report!
- Carreño. Hello.
- David, why are you here?
I'm looking for Carla.
I really need to talk to her,
but she's not picking up.
She left a while ago.
She's chasing after a big story.
[sighs] Well, you don't get tired
of exploiting people?
Well, the other option
is she's cheating on you with someone.
- Fucker.
- Mm-hm.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Carla, muffled] Get me out of here!
Get me out of here! Help!
[turns radio volume up]
[indistinct chatter over radio]
- [muffled screams]
- [banging on car]
For fuck's sake, shut up!
[muffled screaming]
[screaming]
[wailing]
Shh! Don't move. Shut up!
[screaming]
DAVID CELL PHONE
Tell me you're not defending Emiliano.
- Don't start with that, please.
- No, I'll start whatever I want.
Did you forget that
because of him, Mateo?
No, I didn't forget Mateo is dead.
I didn't forget that it was an accident.
Do you know what I just realized?
That you care more
about Emiliano than my son.
I loved Mateo with all my heart.
So don't say that.
- Loved, huh?
- Mm-hm.
- Loved in the past tense.
- Well
That's the difference between
being a father and not being one.
What should I do?
Do you want me to sit back and watch
our lives fall to pieces around us? Hmm?
Emiliano is my friend and he is alive.
If he goes to prison,
we'll lose the law firm,
we'll lose our jobs,
the gringos will come and take everything.
We'll lose this house!
I'm thinking about the rest of our lives.
How can I make you
understand that, Brenda?
Come on now!
Look at me!
I am your wife, am I not?
When will you be on my side?
- I am on your fucking side!
- That's not true!
[clattering]
[emotional music playing]
[Lucía sighs]
[music fades]
Hey.
Don't be sad.
It'll be okay.
But how long will it be okay?
Did we mess up?
My dad wanted to kill you.
Our families will never
accept us being together.
Not even seeing each other.
I can't live like that.
Can you?
["Resplandor" by María M. Gutiérrez plays]
[breathing heavily]
It's going to be okay.
Hmm?
You'll see.
I'm gonna take a shower.
Okay. I'll be with you in a second.
[Daniela] She's not picking up.
And she didn't answer my texts.
Fucking shit.
Hey.
[Salomé and Nico] Hi.
- [Salomé] Miss Daniela, what a surprise.
- Hi, Salomé.
- Nico.
- [Nico] How are you, ma'am?
[sighs] Fine.
Is Lucía with you, guys?
No, she's not here.
[Daniela] Hmm.
Since she's your best friend
and she was feeling down,
I figured she was with you.
Oh, we called her,
but she's not picking up.
- [Daniela] Hm.
- Should I check inside?
Yeah.
- Is grandma here?
- Yeah.
Okay.
If she calls you,
or if you know anything,
please let me know.
Sure, I'll let you know if she calls me.
Mm-hm.
[Daniela] Thank you.
Why the fuck would you say that?
Where the fuck is she?
[phone vibrating]
Mom?
Honey, where are you?
I was really worried about you.
Mom, I just have to get away
for some time.
Our house just reminds me of Rodrigo
and the fucking lies of my father.
Get away? Where are you, Lucía?
Mom, please, don't worry.
[Alex] Are you coming?
Is that? Are you with Alex?
Lucía, that boy is the last person
you should be with right now.
Tell me where you are
and I'll come get you.
- Fuck, she hung up.
- What? Where is she?
[somber music playing]
- [buzzing]
- [door opens]
[Fonseca] Thank you.
No need to open.
[Fonseca exhales]
I'll be over there.
Here you go.
Clothes, deodorant.
Soap.
You must be thrilled now that
Ulises Quijada is taking over the case.
[inhales]
You catch up, huh?
[exhales]
Lucía has run away.
What?
Wait, where is she? Did you talk to her?
What do you know about it?
She left with Charro's son.
We need to find her.
We need to find them both, now.
What do you mean we need?
I don't think there's much
you can do from here.
I'm gonna have to be
the one who finds her.
Dany.
Dany, Dany, Daniela.
Please, Daniela, stop!
Dany!
Fuck
[pop music playing over speakers]
What will you do?
Are you going to forgive Javier
for defending that fucker?
Imagine.
He loves him like a brother.
How can he turn his back on him
when all he did was kill three children?
I I thought that
That Javier loved Mateo and
And you.
But I was wrong.
Thank you.
There's nothing I can do
to stop this pain.
It never stops.
Although I guess that
it's worse in your case.
You must have memories of Mateo
all over the house.
Does the offer you made me still stand?
Of course.
["Quisiera" by María M. Gutiérrez plays]
Sure.
Brenda.
[music fades]
[Emiliano] Please!
I need to make a phone call, please!
- Fonseca, I have the right to a call!
- Emiliano, stop, keep it down!
Please. Please. Please.
Please, Fonseca, just one call.
I need to call.
My daughter is in danger, Fonseca, please.
[tense music playing]
[hitting buttons]
[line calling]
Pick up.
Hi, I'm Lucía.
Right now I can't answer your call.
[beep]
My baby.
Listen to me, I know I'm not
in any position to give you moral advice,
but please, love.
Honey, your mom needs you.
She's really alone.
The father of the boy you ran away with
is a monster, baby.
Please come back home.
Please.
Fonseca.
I need another phone call. One second.
Please.
[chair creaking]
- [Charro] Hey.
- [gasps]
[shushes] No, no, no, no, no.
Easy, easy, easy. Breathe. Breathe.
Breathe.
- Listen, listen.
- [Carla whimpers]
[Charro] I swear
I didn't want any of this.
I didn't plan for things to go this way,
but Peyote is just fucking violent
and can't control himself, right?
[Carla whimpers]
I'm going to remove the gag.
You're not gonna scream.
- Understand?
- Mm-hm.
Okay.
- [exhales]
- That's it. Breathe. Relax.
This has nothing to do with you, honestly.
Everything's your fucking husband's fault.
Do you see that bed?
In that bed,
your damn husband fucked my wife.
I made that same face. [chuckles]
- Give me her phone.
- [mutters] Where's my phone?
- Here.
- What is this?
- I need your beautiful face.
- [whimpers]
Shh. Easy.
That's right.
[cell phone ringing]
Baby, I've called you like 70 times.
[Charro] Is your phone broken
or what, man? Huh?
Charro.
Can you see where I am?
Since you didn't pick up,
you son of a bitch,
I decided to invite somebody
very special to you
- Look. Say hi, please.
- [whimpers]
to a place very special to all of us.
[terrified] What the fuck is going on?
Charro, Charro, come on, man.
The problem's between you and me.
Well, then come forward,
you piece of shit,
because I'm seriously considering
doing to your wife what you did to mine.
Hmm?
Charro, don't
Don't you dare touch her, man!
She's She's pregnant, dude. I will
I'll do whatever you ask me, man, please!
Ooh.
- [crying]
- [Charro] Oh.
- You're pregnant.
- [sobbing]
Why didn't you say so?
[playful] Your baby
is in her belly right now. That's a baby.
Please, man. I already said
I'll do whatever you want me to.
Please, man.
[Charro] Listen, asshole.
And listen carefully.
[Carla sobbing]
I've been thinking of ways
of how you're gonna make this up to me.
But now I know precisely
how are you gonna pay me back.
[tense music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[tense music builds]
What happened?
Huh?
Why don't you wanna go to school?
Because the other kids make fun of me.
Well, I'm sure that those kids will forget
about all of this really soon, sweetie.
Hmm?
But listen, why don't you,
starting tomorrow,
uh, stop telling them
that you talk to Rodrigo?
That way they'll stop
messing with you, okay?
But I do talk to him.
Why do people outside believe me
but you don't?
- [woman] We want to see the miracle child.
- Listen, everybody. Silence.
Silence all. Listen to me, please, people.
Leave us alone. Come on, please go home!
This is really affecting
my daughter, understand?
My daughter can't perform miracles!
She has no powers,
she's not a healer or anything.
Come on, when will you get tired of this?
Huh? Unbelievable.
Why the hell are you here?
Just to watch this mystical circus and see
if they steal a miracle or something?
- [woman] Let us see Paula.
- Why don't you go away?
Why don't you all leave?
[clamoring]
[men] Let us see her!
- [man 1] We want to see Paula, please!
- [man 2] We want to see her, sir!
[clamoring continues]
[intriguing music playing]
[clamoring continues]
[Brenda] Who did this?
[Avelina] Mr. Javier.
He spent the night working on it.
[investor] Is Mr. Matamoros coming?
He should be here in a minute.
Thank you for your patience.
So, what's exactly the situation
with Mr. Lobo?
- Well, about that, uh
- Hello, uh
- David.
- I'm so sorry I'm late. Sorry, sorry, uh
But I have How could I put it? Good news.
- Good news.
- Really good news.
Good news! Very good news. Laura!
I would like to introduce to all of you,
our new partner, Mr. Mejías. Um
We're gonna do good, uh, business.
Uh good business with him.
Gentlemen.
- Agustín Mejías.
- Hi there.
It's very nice to meet you.
- Shall we sit?
- Yes. Please, sure, go ahead.
- [Charro] How are you finding Mexico?
- Sit down.
Let's sit down
- [Charro] You like it?
- This guy is cool.
He's really good for for the business.
His contacts are the best.
[grunts softly]
Alex?
[Alex] Good morning.
Good morning.
I was about to wake you up.
We need to hurry up.
The bus is leaving soon.
Where are we going?
[Alex] To the US.
Why?
Why so far away?
The farther we go, the better.
Okay.
[gentle music playing]
- Are you okay?
- Yes. And you?
[Daniela] Great, I'll send you Lucía
and Alex's photos and contact information.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
Yes. Yes, yes. I already
put out an Amber Alert,
but I wanted to ask you
personally because I know you're the best.
- [door closes]
- [Daniela] Thank you so, so much.
- Gol!
- [Gol whimpers]
[chuckles]
Why are you here?
How come?
I told Javier to ask the judge
to let me out on bail.
I couldn't stay there
knowing that Lucía is gone.
I already have people everywhere
helping locate Lucía.
