High Heat (2022) s01e11 Episode Script

You shouldn't have come, Elías.
Should I have waited forever instead?
Don't make me beg. Come with me.
No. I don't like this one bit.
It's just because I trust you.
Do I look like I can't be trusted?
Anyway, let's go.
[sighs]
[car engine turns]
Some big fish must be behind all this.
Big enough to keep your firefighter friend
in jail for 25 years.
I'm telling you he's innocent.
Right.
In my line of work, everybody is guilty
until proven otherwise.
Still,
being innocent doesn't pay.
Picture that cover, "Innocent." Bah!
The culprit was right under our noses,
and we never saw it.
Make a right turn here.
Aren't you gonna tell me
where we're going?
God damn it. Just do as you're told.
Here?
Unless you want us to go to Garibaldi,
but it's safer here.
[Elías speaks indistinctly]
I want justice, but I also want to forget.
They're not mutually exclusive.
That's my job.
We journalists decide
what's to be forgotten and what's not.
The agenda is run by the brainiacs.
What about justice?
That's administered by them.
Relax. They won't bite.
What you're giving me is in here?
Don't get ahead of yourself.
Patience is its own reward.
Here.
Are you gonna count it?
I'm old-school, man. I keep my word.
I'm still doing it.
In that case,
I hope that helps you to solve
the station's financial hardships.
We'll take care of the rest later.
Let's go, hurry up.
I just can't understand you journalists.
Don't even try. We're merely the tools.
The really dangerous ones are out there.
Let's go. There's stuff I gotta do
besides wasting my time here with you.
A NETFLIX SERIES
[Olivia] Poncho!
What's going on?
The Butcher was here.
He left that.
I don't know what to do. I'm calling
Leonora, but she won't pick up.
She's missing. I told you she was a victim
and was being followed, too.
We're going to open it.
Everybody please stand back.
Sure. Come.
What happened?
Leonora?
Where were you?
Having dinner with a friend.
What happened?
I was calling you like crazy!
Why didn't you pick up?
[metal clangs]
It's a dog.
What?
[Poncho] But
Of course, it was a threat.
The Butcher was right in my doorstep
and put up the same show as with Betty
in McAllen with that metal barrel.
They've killed her.
Do you realize
it couldn't have been Ricardo?
He was with us at Fabio's opening.
"The Butcher" isn't just one person.
I'm sure they're accomplices.
They must work together.
Didn't Daniel ever mention the possibility
that was the case?
[Leonora] Yeah.
It's a theory by Elías Solorzano,
but your brother never believed in it.
What?
He said so.
He didn't trust him. He had suspicions.
What kind of suspicions?
Maybe he wasn't really honest,
maybe he was a snitch.
Did he believe Elías worked
with The Butcher?
And the Reynosa Police Department.
[Olivia] Poncho.
Do you realize everything Betty said
in McAllen was true?
Ricardo is innocent.
Someone very powerful is behind all this.
[Poncho]
I want you to sleep here tonight.
Sure.
I don't want you
to be exposed out there. Okay?
Sure.
And you should at least tell me the next
time you have dinner with a friend!
Or at least text me or answer my calls.
I'm sorry. You left me alone
at the opening. I didn't realize you
You know what? I have to be alone
and think things through.
Poncho!
Didn't you listen? He wants to be alone.
Are you sure
you were having dinner with a friend?
Or were you with the guy
who just dropped you off?
I want to be alone, too.
Lavender essence to sleep well.
A five-star experience at a family
boarding house. The best of two worlds.
Why are you doing this?
I don't know.
Maybe because
hosting is my calling.
But You've done much more
than anyone else for me.
Because you're worth it.
Someone should put their money on you.
I wouldn't be so sure.
I've screwed up many times.
But it's never too late
to make things right.
I swear I will pay you back
for everything you're doing for me.
Do you know how you could?
By being happy
and leaving the past behind.
The thing is my past haunts me.
In that case, stand up to it,
tell it a few things, and keep running
so it doesn't catch you.
Okay
Good night. Let me know
if you need anything.
Sleep tight.
Good night.
[sing-song] I'm so hungry!
Honey, be quiet. Ricardo's sleeping.
[in English] Love is in the air.
[in Spanish] Don't speak to me
in languages I don't know!
Let me put it this other way.
Are you so much into him
that you watch over his sleep?
Is it that noticeable?
[chuckles]
That's the thing about being in love.
Even your eyes give you away.
I see. You're in love with Ricardo, too.
Easy, boss. Elder men I leave to you.
Oh, Son
Don't tell me
I never thought
I'd feel that for somebody.
Gerardo is everything
I've ever dreamed of.
Can't you dream of a gay guy,
or somebody who's single?
You don't choose
who you fall in love with.
And if I could choose
I'd still choose him.
[Daniel] "Although we've been writing to
each other for some time now,
you'll understand I can't call you 'Dad'.
This has been weird for me, new.
I finally begin to fill a void in my life.
The big question regarding my origins.
I guess that's why I became a journalist
and basically live where I work.
I was obsessed with truth."
It's cute how you write
about you to your dad.
It sucks to be the son of a psycho.
We should understand psychos. Will you
tell him you know why he's in jail?
I wish you wrote a letter to me, too.
We will never need letters
because we'll never be
away from each other.
What if you have to cover
some war over water in 2028?
[Daniel] Writing keeps getting harder by
the day. How can I write
to a guy that killed my own mom?
Anyway
It's sent.
Now what?
You go to McAllen and meet him in person.
I'm not ready for that.
What if I come with you?
Would that make things easier?
[Ricardo] "Daniel, of course
you can call me 'Dad'.
But I get it if it doesn't come naturally.
A dad's the guy who raises you,
but they didn't let me do it.
There are things you should know.
Look how Aunt Isabel took care of you
and Poncho when I was locked up.
She did her best
with all the love in the world, but
She's not there to tell you either.
You grew up in an orphanage
not because she wanted you to,
but because somebody took her life.
The same person who took your mom's.
And the same one who used all his power
to put me in prison."
Hello.
It's It's me.
I hate leaving voice mail messages.
I don't know if you listen to them.
I know it's late, but
I'd like to talk to you.
I
[sobs]
Call me when you can, and please
I need you.
I need you, Mom.
Please call me when you can.
I need somebody to tell me
everything is going to be all right.
I'm so afraid.
[phone beeps]
[Olivia sighs]
I got scared when I woke up
and you weren't there.
I'm sorry.
Isn't it a little bit late
to be reading those letters?
We gotta go to Reynosa.
I want to visit the orphanage and find out
more about my aunt and my mom.
What's there that you don't already know?
Olivia, I want to know who I am.
What's wrong about that?
Fine.
Fine.
I'm going to bed. I'll wait for you.
Okay.
Don't go to the wrong bedroom.
[laughs mockingly]
ESTEBAN:
ARE YOU AWAKE?
Poncho.
You shouldn't be here.
It's not good for you.
I'm sorry to sneak in.
I just wanted to check up on you.
Anyway
Sleep tight.
Everything's going to be alright, sweetie.
Your dad will be here. Yeah, he's coming.
[Ricardo] Flor!
Get away from the door!
No, Poncho. Don't come out.
Please.
[Flor]
No, no. Don't go out. Please don't.
[Leonora] Calm down.
He will save your mom.
[gasps]
[Olivia]
Hey. What's wrong?
[man]
He was violent, aggressive.
Once I even saw him
torturing animals.
He buried them alive. He was a psycho.
He even burned his own house down.
[Olivia] Are you okay?
Yeah.
What is it?
Nothing.
[man] My highest virtue is
I'm always willing to learn and improve,
and I'm not brought down by criticism.
I've traveled the world
in search of my passions.
My name is Jesús
and I'm experienced in customer care.
I've always been an artist at heart.
I was a Sherpa at Mount Everest
and a shepherd in Patagonia.
I feel my hands have the power to create
art and I identify as gender fluid.
Okay.
Thank you all. Er
I take it you know basic knitting notions
are required to work here.
Besides
in order to knit,
it is actually fundamental
that you have strong, toned arms.
No. Not true.
It's not fundamental. Don't listen to her.
I know what I'm doing.
I'm getting Gerardo
out of your head no matter what.
So, the next step
to find the most suitable candidate
is to measure your biceps.
So please remove your shirts.
Oh, boy. What's this?
Lupita volunteered
to find an assistant for the store.
It's my birthday present for Fabio.
Is it your birthday?
It's tomorrow, but I don't like it,
so please don't remind me of it.
That way, Fabio won't pull all the weight,
since you have so much on your plate.
An assistant won't be necessary.
Why not?
I already hired one.
Who did you hire?
Mayte. She will be our assistant.
Thank you. You can get dressed now.
- Mayte?
- Yeah.
I put his show on. He missed the previous
episode because he was in the hospital.
I'm going to get your dad
something to eat.
Sure. Thank you, Tina.
Hey, Dad.
I'm gonna tell you something
that will make you so proud.
I'm about to be officially ratified
as captain of the station.
How about that?
You're
my only son.
All you need is a woman.
Don't worry about that.
I want you to understand
that Tina and I can't be with you
for the rest of your life
or 24/7.
You should give Ana a chance.
That happened so long ago.
I assure you
my sister isn't having a nice time.
Even though she denies it.
Hey! Stop looking that way.
That guy is not coming back
to the house. I'm positive.
[Ana]
What are you doing?
They should know you're a whore!
Leave them out of this!
What are you doing?
You can't come through!
Get out!
Dad!
Dad, Dad, Dad! Are you okay?
Listen to me. Wake up, I'm here.
- [Ana] Are you okay, Dad?
- [Ángel] Enough.
No more drama.
- Dad, you should better watch this.
- [TV plays indistinctly]
Listen. Dad!
Look that way, please.
[phone rings]
Hello?
Yes, Rosario lives here.
But she's away now.
Maybe you can call her cell phone
Okay. Leave a message,
and I'll pass it to her.
Hospitalized? Why?
Are you sure, Doctor?
Yes, I'll let her know. Thanks.
Did you get the tickets to Reynosa?
Yeah. I booked tickets for three people.
Why three?
We need a journalist.
No.
Why not?
Because that would be going
into the lion's den. I'm not willing to.
I think that's
the most sensible thing she's said
ever since she came here.
You should listen to her.
Bye, baby.
Take care.
Leonora, I need you to be there.
No.
I've already told you
that you have to wait.
Unfortunately, this is a slow process.
Emergencies are fast processes.
My station will not keep abreast
if there is no management.
You mean to take legal action
in a personal capacity
against Ricardo Urzúa.
No!
I demand that the Chief's Office does.
I know the rules.
Even though I am acting captain,
- I'm entitled to
- Answer this, Linares.
But be honest. Do you hold
a personal grudge against Urzúa?
No, sir. I would feel the same way towards
anyone who stained the station's name.
Whether they be
of an inferior or superior rank.
[Penélope] Rosario!
We need to talk.
[Rosario] I can't right now.
I gotta get ready for a shooting.
You should be getting ready
for something else and you know it.
No, I don't know
what you're talking about.
You must start chemo.
Why didn't you tell us you were sick?
Because I'm getting better soon.
Rosario, nobody gets better from cancer
without undergoing treatment first.
Cancer?
Don't look at me as if I'm sentenced
to die! Pity is the last thing I need!
I've already brought you enough trouble.
I put your home upside down,
as well as your relationship with Olivia.
Somebody wants me dead, Poncho.
Do you realize that? Bringing me
will only put you in harm's way.
I don't want that.
You're the only one who can give me
Daniel's side of the story.
He didn't go deep in his investigation.
He had more questions than answers.
I watched the video he recorded,
where he said The Butcher killed our mom.
I was right.
My biological mother was killed
by The Butcher of Reynosa.
That son of a bitch unknowingly
ruined our lives forever.
He said it because
He knew nothing! Just drop it, Poncho.
Listen. You said it yourself
when I pulled you out of the fire.
We need to avenge
your brother Daniel's death.
I need to tell you everything
the dead can no longer say.
I was in shock.
I didn't know what I was saying.
[phone buzzes]
I gotta take this call.
Esteban. I've told you
a million times not to call me.
Yes, I'll be there. Of course not.
Yes, it's clear you need me
to save your butt
in too many ways. I'll call you back.
I'm in the middle of something.
We're doing this on my terms.
- There it goes!
- Wow!
He shoots to the goal!
Here they are.
Make room.
Coming through. Make room.
Wow!
- Here. Let me get that.
- Are these our 15 minutes of fame?
So, you're armed now?
There.
[all cheer, applaud]
I think we should show Fabio.
So he checks the printing.
What are you doing here?
- Come, come.
- Look here. You're the creator.
This looks amazing!
You're all so handsome.
So who's taking them to Ángel?
Olivia?
No, don't look at me.
Hey. We should give him a chance.
He's learning to be a boss.
He's an arrogant misogynist
with an obvious inferiority complex.
And when you stay silent while he
abuses me, you're being an accomplice.
For real. You should demand more
from your fellow men.
Olivia's right.
I think it's about time we
Yeah? What is she right about?
What is the little lady
whining about this time?
Olivia.
Why aren't you in your posts?
What were you talking about?
We were getting organized
to sell the calendars.
I'll see you in my office, Olivia.
What did I do?
Now.
Thank you.
Well
What did I do now?
What were you talking about?
Private stuff.
Private?
I'm the captain here, and
- Acting captain.
- Yes.
For now. I need not remind you
the firefighting corps is ruled
by traditional subordination, right?
You're my subordinate.
So tell me what the hell
you were talking about!
Your problem is not
what I was talking about.
Your problem has always been
that I'm a woman.
No, my problem is with people
who still don't understand
that there are officers
and ranks in this institution.
Honor, valor, loyalty, and sacrifice,
even over rank and your machismo.
I've had it!
Consider yourself suspended.
Get changed and go home
for a few days to cool down.
Why are you doing this? Because I'm on
This conversation is over. Get out!
And don't weep, sweetie.
[sighs]
Olivia, I'm glad I
I can't right now, Poncho.
What happened?
Ángel has just suspended me.
What? Who the fuck does he think he is?
I'm sorry, I can't talk right know.
I'm going home.
You were right.
I shouldn't have trusted Leonora.
[exhales sharply]
I'm glad you realized it.
I heard her talking on the phone, and
I don't know. There was something
about what she said Something was off.
Poncho, I don't want to say it, but
- I told you.
- I know.
I'm accepting it. Forgive me.
You're the only one I can really trust.
Let's go.
Let's both go to Reynosa. Fuck Leonora.
What are you doing?
What?
I just got suspended.
Do you want them to expel me?
Let's go home, then.
We have so much to plan.
Yeah. Let's go
before I break Ángel's face.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to talk to Ángel.
He's unbearable. I advise against it.
Whatever. Can we go now?
We have so much to do.
What's the hurry, Poncho?
Will you keep avoiding talking to me?
We have nothing to talk about.
Poncho, Poncho
Get your hands off me!
What's your problem with me?
You know that perfectly well!
No, I have no idea!
I've just tried to be your friend!
I know everything about you,
Ricardo Urzúa!
I know you're my father,
I know you're The Butcher,
and I know you killed my mom, you fucker.
I know everything about you.
