The characters, plot, situations
and stories are purely fictional.
Any resemblance to fact

[man] Did you know that the raw material
that Mama Cake uses in her special cakes
was grown in the nursing home?
Of course not.
Did you engage in Mama Cake's business,
ordering and consuming
those special cakes?
Definitely not.
Did you participate
in the settling of scores
that Mama Cake organized
against the Hans cartel,
her main competition?
No, no and no.
Ma'am, I am telling you for the last time,
Mama Cake is a criminal.
And only with your testimony
can we prosecute her.
Why didn't you go to sleep, María?
I wanted a cup of tea. Do you want some?
Thank you.
Xiadani,
they say that the secret
to a good friendship
is blunt honesty without sugarcoating.
Yes, even if it hurts.
Do you agree?
Sure. [chuckles]
Well then,
if you agree with that, explain to me
why didn't you tell me
that my grandson's been kidnapped.
María. I'm sorry.
How could I tell you
your grandson was taken by the bad guys?
I wanted to protect you.
-Besides Ekaterina
-I need the keys to the food truck.
I'm going to rescue him.
Give them to me, please.
No, what are you thinking?
You're a determined woman,
but they're professionals.
Keys, please.
I won't give them to you.
-I can't let anything happen to you.
-[Freddy] Shall we go?
What's he doing here?
He's going to help me find my grandson.
No.
No, he's one of them! I won't allow it!
And how are you going to stop me?
If you can't even stand.
[chuckles] Okay.
Forgive me.
This is all my fault
and I don't want anyone else to be hurt.
Xiadani.
-María.
-I'm really sorry.
Have sweet dreams.
[theme music playing]
[María] I know this plan is crazy
but, well, I can't think of anything else.
[Aurelia] We're with you
in any way possible.
Thank you, really.
I can't thank you enough.
And please remember
that the most important thing
is that no one gets hurt.
Well, at least not us. The others
No, neither us nor anyone else.
We're not hired killers.
Our only objectives are
Poncho, Natalia and Ekaterina.
Understood?
Why don't we wear masks
so that no one recognizes us?
Mr. Fede, getting masks
is a little difficult right now.
Well, how about code names?
Yes!
I'd like to be "Tokyo."
I don't think false names are a bad idea.
Aurelia, you will be Cholula.
Yes!
Fede, you definitely look like Chiconcuac.
-I look like what?
-Yes.
María, you're going to be Parangaricu
[cell phone ringing]
[Lobo] We're ready for the exchange,
Mama Cake.
See you in 60 minutes in basement three
of the Monchi Plaza parking lot.
Don't even think of coming without Freddy
or you can forget about all your people.
I will be there. Don't worry.
You have my word.
Guys, let's go and show them
what we're made of.
Are we ready?
Take your supplements.
We don't want low glucose levels
during the mission. Hmm?
We have to be alert and sharp.
-María.
-Freddy.
-Yes.
-You know what you have to do.
Don't go too far away.
-I'll be on the next floor up.
-Perfect.
Chiconcuac, are we all in position? Over.
Chiconcuac here.
We're ready, Parangararo Paranga
Parangaricutirimícuaro!
Yes, sorry.
Go ahead. I mean, over.
Wences, why did you give me
such a difficult code name?
Because Parangaricutirimícuaro
is the place where I was born.
And after you, it's
the most beautiful thing in the world.
And while we're on the subject,
I know it's not the right time,
but who knows if that time will come?
-So I want to ask you something.
-Yes.
-María
-Mmm?
will you marry me?
Yes or no?
Oh.
[tires screeching]
Where is Freddy, ma'am?
First tell me where my grandson is.
Bring the grandson.
Bring him.
Come on, out.
Poncho!
Grandma!
-Easy.
-Okay!
-Okay! Easy!
-Stop.
The boy is fine.
Now tell me where fucking Freddy is.
Yes, one moment, please.
Chichén Itzá, please come out. Over.
Chichén Itzá, can you hear me?
Come out now, please. Over.
Chichén Itzá! Can't you hear me?
Please come out now! Over!
No, calm down!
Just a moment, gentlemen. Just a moment.
I think the radio
must have a bad signal here.
Please allow me.
[hushed voice] Fucking Freddy,
come out of wherever you are right now.
Now would be a good time.
The situation is critical!
God.
-No!
-Go on.
[María] Freddy,
please don't do this to us.
She's drugged for sure.
-Pour water on her.
-No, she's waking up.
[groans]
[Gloria] Open your eyes.
We want answers.
Where is the food truck? Who took it?
[Gloria] Don't fall asleep!
[Jorge] Where is María?
What a way to sleep.
I warned you, Mama Cake,
I'm not in the mood for your little games.
[Lobo] Alert!
-[sirens wailing]
-Police! Take cover!
Shh!
[man] You are surrounded.
Drop your weapons
and surrender peacefully.
You have no chance. You're surrounded.
Surrender while you can.
At the slightest movement, we open fire.
I repeat, you have no chance.
Surrender now.
Well, it seems you have no choice!
Give me my family!
[man] You have 10 seconds
to drop all your weapons!
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six,
-five, four, three, two
-Okay. We're surrendering.
one, zero!
But I want guarantees
that we won't be shot.
Don't shoot us!
You have 10 seconds
to drop all your weapons!
Ten!
[pop music playing on speakers]
-[man] You have 10 seconds to drop
-Fede!
-[Lobo laughs]
-What is that, then?
-Plan C!
-[making gunfire-like sounds]
[man 1] No! Look out!
Come on!
[man 2] Let's go!
They're taking my grandson, Wences!
They're taking my grandson!
Ready!
[Jorge] I think that's too much,
don't you?
[exclaiming]
It worked. Xiadani!
-Where is the food truck?
-See? I told you it was too much.
-Who took it?
-[gasping]
-Xiadani.
-Here!
Where is María?
Let's see.
She went to rescue her grandson
in the food truck.
[Gloria] No way. No.
Ekaterina was taking charge.
Didn't you tell her?
I didn't have time.
She drugged me with tea.
[Gloria] Where did she go?
Xiadani, where did she go?
To the lair of this Hans,
but she didn't say where it was.
We have to find that address, Jorge.
-Let's go now.
-Yes, the faster the better.
Let's go!
-You drive.
-Yes, of course.
-Let's go. Come with us.
-Come on.
[Xiadani groans]
So once again
you were fooled by Mama Cake.
She had a whole battalion.
But don't worry
because we still have her grandson.
She'll come to get him.
And we'll shoot her in the
No!
We won't touch a hair on her head, Lobo.
We need people
like Mama Cake in this organization.
Leaders like her are what we need.
So no, we won't eliminate her.
-We'll partner with her.
-Hmm?
[Hans] Prepare another meeting
and send Pecas for her.
You and the grandson will stay with me.
She'll have to come
if she wants to see him alive.
-[both gasp]
-What are you doing with that?
What, do you work for Hans too?
[laughs] No, María.
This baby is mine.
From when I was a grenadier.
There's a lot of sneaky people
in the nursing home.
That's why I want you to have it.
So if any of those scoundrels betray you,
-you go, bang, bang, bang!
-No!
No, no one is going to use a gun here.
And no one is going to betray anyone.
-[Fede] But
-[María] No, no.
I promise you
that I won't let anything happen to you.
Let's go.
[Pecas] Visual contact with Mama Cake.
Mama Cake, no tricks.
We're only interested in you.
Wences, I want to tell you that,
whatever happens,
my answer is yes.
[Wences] She said yes!
[man] Look out! She has a gun!
It's a trap!
Take cover! It's a trap!
-[man 1] Run!
-[man 2] Come on!
What are you doing? Have you gone crazy?
-Aurelia, what are you doing?
-What?
Let go of me!
I want to finish them all!
What's going on?
[Wences] Aurelia went rogue!
Hold on!
Let's go.
I WANT THE PALMIER
MAMA CAKE
She screwed us again, sir.
Our people are under attack.
Are you going to let her make fun of us?
Damn it!
Listen to me well.
I want her alive.
What?
Copy that.
Did you hear that? No shooting.
[Gloria] Do you think
those guys will know?
-[Jorge] They'll know for sure.
-[Gloria] Yes?
Hello, young man!
-What's up?
-Hi.
We're looking for some
narcotics.
A little too much.
Are you drunk? What's wrong with you?
Rabbit hutch for rabbits.
Monkey poop.
Bring the tacos with cheese.
-Jorge!
-Acapulco
Are you really going to sleep?
[man] Apparently, what he wants
are Japanese canaryseed leaves.
No, fuck no.
We want marijuana.
Look, let's see
if we understand each other.
And I can give you double
if you tell me who supplies you.
That's it, Ekaterina. Like that.
The gasoline.
Calm down.
-[Aurelia] Thank you.
-You're welcome.
So, what?
Nothing at all?
Look, you're trying my patience.
And that's bad.
You know why?
Because patience is a virtue.
And when the virtues end, the vices begin.
Hmm?
So tell me,
who dared to kill Morro.
I have a little hand,
I don't have a little hand
because it's a little chipped.
-This one, asshole.
-No! Not the other hand!
-How am I going to eat?
-So what should I cut?
-Your fucking neck or what, asshole?
-No!
[laughing]
What? Don't you recognize me?
Morro in action!
-Morro?
-[laughing]
But Morro is dead.
Bullshit.
I think you've always been
an asshole. Hmm?
The one they killed
was my brother, Cárdenas.
-Cárdenas?
-Don't you see?
Look, I'll explain it to you, dude.
I told my brother, Cárdenas,
to investigate the lady himself,
to pretend to be me.
Basic twin game. Hmm?
[Morro] Messy hair and so on.
[Morro narrating] On the condition
that if I was right,
he was going to help get the lady
to work with me.
[Morro] Smile.
That's it!
Don't let me down.
Tight-ass.
[Morro narrating] And so,
with a new business,
we were going to take Hans' power.
That's what my brother and I wanted.
We agreed to meet
at the lady's house, but guess what?
Cárdenas didn't show up.
It seems to me that he was executed
by one of those assholes who was after me.
That's what must have happened.
But who was it?
Who knows.
Because all these months,
well, I've executed several of them.
That's right.
With the law's permission. [laughs]
Yes.
And since I'm not really into drama,
I took advantage of the uniform
and passed myself off as my brother.
And it all worked out great
because now I have more power than ever.
[chuckles]
And that's not all, my Freddy.
I also got the little love plants
from the famous Mama Cake.
So you and me together again.
And that way,
we're going to screw María and Hans
and whoever killed my brother.
[laughing]
What do you think, buddy?
Okay, ma'am,
my boss instructed me
to treat you with great respect.
But I'd really love to teach you a lesson.
So I'm going to ask you to please behave.
Agreed?
Let's go.
[María] Poncho! Ponchito!
Did they do anything to you, dear?
-Did they do anything? Are you okay?
-Yes.
Ekaterina, what's wrong with them?
Are you okay, Natalia?
Please forgive me, Poncho.
No This wasn't part of my plan.
-I wanted to
-Grandma,
don't apologize for being
a unique and courageous woman.
[María] No, more like carried away.
How did I get into this business?
Well, yes, but you did it for love.
To provide for our household,
to give me a home.
And seriously,
no one has ever done that for me.
It's not your fault that these people
only care about money,
and power and killing.
No, no one is going to kill anyone here.
I'll make sure of that.
You're my grandson.
And I would give up my life for you.
-So no one is going to kill here.
-Grandma, I know.
But you have to realize
what you're capable of.
Look where you are.
Well, it's not that cool here,
but what I mean is,
well, you're a good person.
You're a fighter.
No one can deny that.
[laughing]
[coughing]
[groans softly]
What happened? Where are we?
[Gloria] According to the bum
I gave all my money and jewelry
to spill the beans,
we're close to this Hans guy's hideout.
What? Why?
Look, I might be a bit of a bitch
A bit?
but I'm not a negligent mother.
I'm going to save my daughter.
Look, Gloria,
I don't mean it in a bad way,
but if Ekaterina couldn't,
I don't know how you can.
[gasps] No! Now the hitmen have caught us!
They're not hitmen.
[soldier] Get out of the car.
Get out of the car.
Mrs. Fernández.
Colonel Mendoza
of the Military Parachuting Base.
When your daughter, Natalia Rivera,
a very good cadet by the way,
was in training,
she was discharged
for consumption of narcotics.
We've been following her.
There's an explanation for that.
A friend gave her some biscuits
The investigation paid off.
Natalia led us to a very important network
of very dangerous drug traffickers.
We already had them in our sights,
but thanks to her
we've found the leader's hideout.
They're now surrounded by snipers
and tanks ready to strike.
If any of the hitmen makes a false move,
there will be an apocalyptic massacre.
[Jorge snoring]
[whispering] Let's go. Here they come.
-Sit down.
-[Poncho] Sit down, Grandma.
Ma'am, Hans is ready to meet you.
Move.
I'm going with her.
-[Natalia] Poncho.
-Pecas.
-Let's go, man.
-[groans]
-Poncho!
-Why did he do that?
-Take it easy. He's my guarantee.
-[Poncho] I'm fine, Grandma.
So you behave yourself.
Come on.
[María] But my grandson Why
This is not necessary.
I swear I won't do anything.
Let my grandson go.
Look, calm down and behave yourself.
If you comply with what we've discussed,
your grandson will see daylight again,
but if you screw up
[grunts]
Alfonso!
Mom?
WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR
THE STELLAR PERFORMANCE FROM
[theme music playing]
Can I help you with anything else?
I respect that you
and your friends won't talk,
but sooner or later,
Mama Cake is going down.
She won't escape us yet again.
Yet again?
CONFIDENTIAL
What's this?
Many years ago, a dangerous criminal
nicknamed "The Northern Blonde"
evaded Mexican justice.
Some of us have never given up
and are still looking for her.
What does that have to do
with me or with Mama Cake?
This is the only photo we have of her.
Remind you of anyone?
"THE NORTHERN BLONDE"
