High Heat (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

[Ricardo] I promise I'll
finish my shift early.
[Flor] I don't like being alone.
[Ricardo] You're not alone!
You're accompanied by two.
I still can't believe
they're twins, honey.
I know.
Don't go.
You know that you make a call
and I'll be right back
even if the cathedral's burning.
It might be silly, but
For weeks I've been feeling
like I'm being followed.
As if someone's looking at me.
You broke many hearts
when you married me.
Don't pout.
Everything will be fine.
Trust me, OK?
I love you.
- I love you.
- Love you, too.
I have to go. Lock the door.
Urzúa!
Phone call!
It's your wife.
My love?
[Flor] I think my water broke.
[panting] I told you
I didn't want to be alone.
[Ricardo] Calm down.
Breathe with me, please. Flor!
The exercises we practiced.
Why does it have to be today?
Calm down, I'm coming.
Everything will be fine. Trust me.
I'm going to be a father!
- Congrats!
- Run!
[thunderclap]
- [gasps]
- [glass shatters]
[Flor] For weeks I've been feeling
like I'm being followed.
Flor!
Flor! Open the door, it's me.
Honey, what happened? Calm down.
Sit down. What happened?
[sobbing] I don't wanna
stay alone in this house.
Somebody was outside
and I don't know who it was.
A NETFLIX SERIES
Come. I need you to tell me who you are.
Not here. I'm scared.
- Scared? Of what?
- This fire was because of me.
Someone's after me. Someone wants
to kill me to silence me
because they know I have
all your brother's information.
Poncho!
You?
Do you know her?
It's the girl
from your brother's cell phone photo.
Seriously, I need to leave.
I need a safe place.
She said someone wants to kill her.
That's why they burned the newspaper down.
What's your name?
Leonora.
What's your story with Daniel?
He was my boyfriend.
I want to introduce someone to you.
You're the girl
Daniel wanted to introduce to me.
You know who killed him!
That's why you want to avenge him.
Poncho, seriously, not here.
I need to get out of here now.
No, you have a lot to tell me.
If you're not helping me, I need to leave.
- No, no.
- No, no, no.
We can go to my place. Let's go.
Wait.
My files. All the information
was on my desk.
Your brother's whole investigation
about the Reynosa Butcher.
I need to check if it didn't burn down.
Let's go, Carrasco.
The insurance guys are coming.
There's nothing left.
There are things
you can't learn in training.
Here you lose more than you win.
That's the only way to learn.
Even when you screw up.
It's difficult to see all this
burned to the ground.
The best thing you can do
is to go home, rest for 48 hours.
And then go back to the station,
and do it again
and again
until it doesn't hurt so much.
People die every day.
When you're a firefighter,
some of them will die in front of you.
Don't feel guilty
for not being able to save someone.
I'll see you outside.
BREAST CANCER
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMEN
[gasping]
Hi. I'm calling you because
Because I wanted to know how you are.
Oh, you're driving. What?
I can't hear you.
Yes, I didn't go to see you because
Because I had a lot of things to do.
No, Mom, I didn't forget about you.
I have commitments, too.
Hello?
Hello?
Mr. Ángel, you finally arrived.
Mr. Guillermo is worse than ever.
What happened?
The same as always,
but go in and see for yourself.
Listen.
You still have to pay my fortnight.
I never forget, but
For the moment,
I can only give you this.
Don't worry. Thank you.
You know I could not do this
without your help.
Go and get some rest.
See you tomorrow, then.
I'll take care of him now.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
- I'll go change.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
I'm picking some photos for my album.
Why don't you do it in your room?
Because I like the kitchen.
I'm not allowed to or what?
Being so addicted to your cell phone
is not good for you.
I know, not good at all.
Like you and your telescope.
Can you pass me the soap?
Wash up, Molina.
[chuckles]
[phone buzzes]
NEW MESSAGE
COME SEE ME
How is Mrs. Tina treating you?
Like a king, right? I'm sure.
I had to give her some time off.
But I'm here to help you with dinner.
OK, then.
Come on.
I don't like this situation either.
At all.
But if you want to blame someone,
it's not me.
Do you understand?
Come on, let's eat.
Fucking hell.
OK, if you don't want to eat,
don't fucking eat, then.
I spend all fucking day and night working!
To pay for everything, to pay the nurse!
I don't have a goddamn cent!
It's not easy for me.
You know what's worst?
That the day I get burned in a fire,
you're going to be left on your own.
I don't know
who the fuck's gonna look after you.
You can stay here as long as you need.
Thanks.
You can sleep in Daniel's bedroom.
Thanks.
Calm down. No one followed us here.
I'm not so sure.
A car with the lights off
has been parked for two months
In front of your house?
Yes, in front of my office, too.
- It follows you, too?
- Yes, for three months now.
I actually thought I was imagining things.
Daniel never brought you here?
No. He wanted to talk to you
about our relationship first.
It was for the best
because I was being followed
and he didn't want to expose you.
How long were you together?
About five months.
We knew each other from before,
we worked together at the newspaper,
but the last few months were the worst.
I have so many questions
that I don't know where to start.
Okay. What do you know about the Butcher?
Your brother told me everything
about his investigation.
I know he went to Reynosa,
to McAllen to talk with the attorney.
Wait, Daniel went to Reynosa?
He wanted to know about the orphanage
where your aunt left you.
- My aunt?
- Isabel, your father's sister.
Don't you know anything about this?
I had all the documents,
your brother gave them to me before dying.
What documents?
The orphanage records,
the birth certificates,
everything was lost in that damned fire.
- We must go to Reynosa.
- Yes.
Sure. What's the name of the orphanage?
Tres Marías.
[Leonora] I didn't know
you were a firefighter.
Your brother never mentioned it.
Because I wasn't.
It's a long story.
I did the training course after he died.
I guess it's in your blood.
In my blood?
There's nothing on the internet.
- What do you mean?
- Because of your dad.
Your father was a firefighter.
Still is, I guess. I don't know.
Daniel knew the truth about your parents.
You don't know anything about my life.
I never had parents.
Daniel was in touch with him.
They wrote to each other,
I don't know for how long.
In fact, he went to meet him in person,
but he backed off in the end.
He didn't want to see his face,
I don't know why. He never explained it.
That upset your brother and he knew
he had to tell you everything.
- Are you OK, Poncho?
- [moans]
I need to sit down.
Hey.
Are you alright? Are you OK?
I need I need water.
[panting]
Hey, calm down.
Careful. Sit down.
Water.
Your story is not how you know it.
Your own family is up
to their necks in this.
Breathe, breathe, breathe.
- Take this, it'll help.
- I'll give it to him.
It's my way of thanking him
for what he did for me today.
Here.
There's something I don't get.
If you were Daniel's girlfriend,
why didn't Poncho see you at his funeral?
Because I wasn't there.
Weren't you so close?
I was in the hospital.
The night your brother died,
we were kidnapped.
He was killed and I was able to run away.
Hey, listen.
You can't make any noise.
No one knows you're here.
- Okay?
- Yes.
Hey, take it slow.
OK?
Not so slow, I have to start my shift.
Hey, slow.
Slow.
Everything was pretty fast.
I was outside the news agency
waiting for a taxi,
and someone grabbed me from behind.
[muffled screams]
They threw me in the backseat of a car.
Daniel was there.
I guess they hit him harder than me
because he was unconscious.
- How many people were there?
- Two.
Could you see their faces?
Can you identify them?
No. Sorry.
Where did they take you?
To Ajusco, far away from everything.
To Ajusco?
Have you ever seen these photos?
I don't understand.
Daniel took them the night he died.
It makes sense. That must be Ajusco
judging by the greenery we can see.
Yes.
When your brother got off the van,
he was holding his cell.
- Hey.
- I'm fine.
I couldn't. I didn't
I didn't dare.
[gunshot]
And after that, I heard the shots.
And I knew they had killed him.
I got off the van and ran away,
I don't know where.
That's how you escaped the killer?
Running around Ajusco?
- Hey.
- What?
They were chasing him.
They forgot about me.
I'd like to think
your brother gave his life to save me.
Like you did today.
You risked your life
getting into the fire.
Thank you.
What would become of you
without the Quirogas?
Let's see.
They took you in the newspaper,
but do you know where they took him?
The only thing I know is
Daniel was going to the fire station.
- He needed information
- I knew it! I knew it!
They followed him to the station
and they took him! Hence, the photos.
Someone must have seen something.
Someone in the station must've done this.
And the killer.
RAÚL PADILLA ARELLANO FIRE STATION
[doorknob rattles]
If you want to know who killed Daniel,
the first thing I would do
is interview Ricardo Urzúa.
No. Ricardo wasn't in town
when it happened.
Don't you find it a bit strange
he got hired shortly after he showed up?
Where his son disappeared.
A bit too strange, don't you think?
I know Daniel traveled to McAllen
and talked to Ricardo's attorney,
and she told him Ricardo was innocent.
But Daniel had his doubts.
He wasn't convinced, and I get it.
It's not easy to accept
you are the son of a killer.
Because you knew that.
Right?
That Ricardo Urzúa is your father.
That's why you applied
to that fire station,
to be near your father.
Right?
- Hey.
- Wait.
[Ricardo] I was in the US,
but I came back.
Because this is my place.
Because my people are here.
[Poncho] Do you have family here? In town?
Yes, I do.
I have family here in Mexico.
[Olivia] Captain,
I'd like to introduce you
to Alfonso Carrasco.
I'm really happy to meet you
and welcome you, Poncho.
[both grunt]
Are these your sons?
Yes, my sons.
How old are they?
Where are they?
Are we ever going to meet them?
- [Hugo] Look at Uncle Hugo.
- [Ricardo] Let's see, kids.
Poncho, look here.
- That's it.
- How was it?
Do you like it?
Look at the fire truck,
like the one daddy works with.
Honey!
- Come here.
- Stand together.
[man] Daniel was killed yesterday.
I'm happy that you joined
the firefighting brigade.
You can count on me anytime.
[sighs]
[inaudible dialogue]
[moans]
Poncho!
He's not in here.
Do you know where he went?
No.
When I woke up,
he was already gone.
And his car is not outside.
[clears throat]
What now
I guess we're alone.
Why don't you tell me now
what there is between you two?
I can tell you that I don't like
people who are so nosy.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm lots of things.
But nosy is not one of them.
I can't stop thinking about that day.
I knew something weird was going on.
[sobbing] Why didn't you trust me?
I could have helped you.
Maybe I could've been
the one in the morgue and not you, Dani.
But now I know the truth.
I know who our father is.
Ricardo Urzúa.
I'm going to get to
the bottom of this, Dani.
Now I know where to start.
I'm going to make that bastard pay
for all the pain he's caused.
I promise you that.
Let's see if these delicious chilaquiles
wipe your sad face away.
Thanks, Mrs. Glorita, but I'm not hungry.
You have to eat, anyway, honey.
The future seems darker
with an empty stomach.
Much darker than I see it now?
If I were you,
I'd show that darned commission
they were wrong to refuse you.
Gerardo's refusal hurts more.
That man didn't reject you.
He just didn't tell you
what you wanted to hear.
And you're too young to be thinking
of getting married and those things.
I'm too young to get married,
but too old to be a singer.
- I don't understand anything.
- Me neither.
But less talking and more action.
I'll serve your chilaquiles,
but we're gonna save half of it,
because they belong to you-know-who.
Maybe Ricardo Urzúa?
It's a nuisance to be in love
when the other doesn't feel the same.
I was just thinking to take
some chilaquiles for him to the station.
You can't deny that the firefighter chief
drives you crazy.
I don't think he likes me.
No, my love for him
is simply platonic.
The door.
I think we deserve a beer.
A cold one would be great.
- Your wish is my command.
- Gosh.
You think of everything.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Let's drink for the most awesome place
in Mexico City, for our business.
- We have to find a name.
- Yes.
Yes, I've been thinking
about several names,
but the one I like most is Gerabio.
A combination of our names:
Gerardo and Fabio.
No offense, that sounds
more like a venereal disease.
- Okay.
- You go to the doctor,
the doctor tells you:
"Young man, I'm sorry
to say you have Gerabio."
I don't know
if I should laugh or take it personally.
No, I'm the one who should take it
personally, for your lack of creativity.
That did offend me.
Well, I was kidding.
What are you doing?
Fabio, what are you doing?
- Fabio, no
- OK, stop it.
- Fabio, stop it.
- Yeah.
- Stop it.
- Stop.
[phone buzzes]
Hi, honey.
How are you?
Yes.
I'm at the bank.
I came to check
on some business certificates.
See you this evening.
Kisses to you, too.
- Molina.
- Yes?
Let everyone know I'll be back in an hour.
- Where are you going, boss?
- To solve this problem once and for all.
Are you sending your lovers now
to threaten me?
I won't stay long.
And you should open the windows a bit.
It smells like sex in here, Anita.
What do you want, Luis?
Firstly, stop playing the victim
and looking for scandals.
If you can't see your daughter,
it's because a judge decided it, not me.
A judge you paid to rule against me.
There was no need to pay for him to see
you are the worst example for this girl.
You're not the first woman
to cheat on her husband.
And not all of them
get their kids taken away from them.
But I'm the first one to cheat on you.
And you can't stand that, right?
That's why you need to get revenge on me
by taking what's really important: my kid.
I thought the most important thing
was to get men in your bed.
Get lost, you jerk!
Go away!
It's your turn not to get close to me.
Forget about your daughter
because she forgot about you.
The way your father forgot about you.
[phone buzzes]
Hello?
Yes, this is her speaking.
What are my test results?
No, I can't come tomorrow,
I have work to do.
Could you please tell me over the phone
or send them to me by email?
Yes, tell the doctor
I'll come by tomorrow.
It's here.
Don't worry, these old locks
are my specialty.
Your uncle shouldn't worry.
Good morning, neighbor!
Look.
- Right?
- Yeah.
I mean the pictures
Gabi took are very cool,
but what you are doing
It looks so good.
- So cool.
- He liked my photo!
- Gerardo liked my photo!
- Who?
Oh, no, Fabio!
- I knew that gaze had to mean something.
- Fabio!
- I told you!
- No, we already talked about this.
You're still obsessed about him.
He was the one who liked my photo.
I didn't do anything.
I've liked 300,000 photos of you
and you never got this excited.
- No, no, no.
- I'm offended.
The photo is from September last year.
So?
He just followed me and he already wants
to know everything about me.
Fabio, enough with the following
and the liking, seriously.
Seriously.
I think you'd better stop here.
For your own sake, okay?
Fabio, I'm going to get something to eat.
- Do you want anything?
- No.
- We stop here.
- Okay.
Done.
Great.
Is there anything else?
I already paid you.
It's better if my uncle
doesn't see you here.
- If he sees you, I'm dead.
- No, thanks.
That's why. Thank you!
Have a nice day.
THE COUNCIL OF JOURNALISM
GRANTS THIS PRIZE TO ELÍAS SOLÓRZANO
I need to see the Fire Chief.
I know he's busy,
but I'm the Lieutenant of the station.
A station that's had a few irregularities
since Artemio Román's death.
Lack of information,
uncertainty.
My men are worried.
That's why the commission is working hard
to name a new captain, trust me.
What do you mean?
On Thursday we have a meeting. It will
Wait a minute. You're telling me
you haven't named anyone
as Captain for the station yet?
Not yet.
Then who the hell
is Ricardo Urzúa?
