DARK DESIRE
Rafa.
Thank you.
Brother.
How is it going? Look what I brought you.
I imagine you're fed up with chamomile tea, right? How did they let you come in? Just by chance, I became friends with the guard.
How is it going? How do you feel? I feel like the main character in a dream who doesn't understand anything at all.
That's how I feel, Esteban.
Okay.
Hey, wait, calm down.
Listen to me.
What do you want? To save you.
You knew Esteban Solares.
Brandon.
I saw how you looked at him.
Who did you talk to? - Brandon.
- I don't know! I don't know.
I never met him in person.
I just spoke to him on the phone.
Who did you talk to? It was him.
Esteban? Yes.
I recognized his voice when I was being interrogated.
He's under house arrest.
Or, I should say, hospital arrest.
He's on bail until he's discharged.
So, your brother-in-law's suspicions turned out to be true.
Well, that would explain many things, like why Leonardo was so reluctant to talk about Brenda.
Or why he ordered her body to be exhumed.
Besides Brenda's death, they're investigating him for hiding and manipulating evidence.
And for another homicide.
The murder of a policeman in Morelos.
They don't know if Leonardo acted alone or together with Edith Ballesteros his assistant.
The police searched every nook and cranny of the house.
They seized everything, computers, cell phones, tablets, memory cards They did the same thing at Leonardo's office.
In a matter of hours, my husband went from being one of the most respected and admired judges in Mexico to becoming an ordinary criminal.
Maybe I have to accept that my husband, besides being unfaithful, is a criminal.
Is that what you feel, Alma? What does your heart tell you? My heart? My heart is an idiot.
It told me that Leonardo was cheating on me with his assistant when he was organizing a surprise anniversary party for me.
It told me that Brenda was my most faithful friend while she was fucking my husband.
I always thought Leonardo was incapable of hurting anybody.
Now it turns out that he's a murderer of women.
I'd like to kill them.
Who? Leonardo and Brenda.
I'd like to kill them.
But what exactly are you looking for? The effects of sodium poisoning.
Yes.
We saw that with Dr.
Leal in Etiology of Poisoning.
Hold on, I found it.
"A sudden blood sodium increase can cause seizures.
" Shit.
What's the matter? Somebody caused my dad's coma.
We're bound by something more than blood.
We're bound by loyalty.
By secrets.
By watching each other's backs.
We've always been there for one another.
And, whatever happens, I'll always protect you.
Always.
How can I help you? What do you need? Chief GarcÃa.
I have a warrant to search your boss' office.
That's fine.
Come in.
Do you have an imagination? - Use it! - No! No! Most of us women are exposed to base emotions.
Anger jealousy ambition.
However, most women commit crimes as accomplices to men.
Usually their romantic partner.
A high percentage of female incarcerations occur due to kidnappings, scams, extortions, and even homicides.
And all of this is done in order to protect a man.
Professor.
Alma.
I need to talk to you.
Last night I dreamed, or I remembered something important.
I think I know where I was the night Esteban kidnapped me.
It was a textile factory.
At first, I thought we were in a slaughterhouse because of the smell.
What smell? What did it smell like? It smelled horrible.
It smelled of rotten meat.
It smelled like death, Alma.
The police seized computers, files, everything.
You won't find anything here.
I didn't come to search the office.
I came to ask for your help, Edith.
I need to reconstruct every step Judge Solares took since Brenda Castillo's death.
Patricia, I've tried to help you in your unofficial investigation, but I think this is outside of your jurisdiction.
Okay, I'll explain it like this: Right now, I'm the only police officer in the whole country who believes that Judge Solares is innocent.
Talk to me, Edith.
Or would you rather wait for an official interrogation? Excuse me.
Sosa.
What happened with the DVD? Were you able to retrieve the information? Your name? Leonardo Solares.
- Place of birth? - Mexico City.
Do you know what day it is? I'm not sure Wednesday? Do you remember what happened yesterday? Last night? Let's see.
I'm going to check your pupils.
Okay.
They're a bit dilated, but it must be a reaction to the medication.
Nothing serious.
Don't you know that in order to do a search you need a court order? A what? Forget it.
What would you know about that? Oh, boss, I'm sorry, but this lady arrived, showed me her police ID and Yes, the Morelos police, but she has no jurisdiction to search this place.
How could you expect me to know that? Why didn't you call me first? - It didn't cross my mind.
- It didn't cross your mind.
What did they search? Well, she went upstairs and she was there looking at your computer and those things, and Oh, and she took a disc.
We'll talk about this later, okay? Don't worry.
NEW MESSAGE ALMA I don't understand why people have a cell phone if they won't answer it.
And why the urgency? Is it related to the video? This video, believe it or not, tells me many things.
Not necessarily what I was hoping for And what were you hoping for? A video that places a certain person at a certain crime scene.
My friend I need you to track the calls made to a cell phone.
Brenda Castillo's cell phone on the Sunday that she died.
Okay, hold on.
Did you order the exhumation of Brenda Castillo's body? Mr.
Solares, are you listening? Did you order the exhumation of Brenda Castillo's body? Yes.
I did.
Was that exhumation related to the disappearance of Officer César Vallejo? Yes, I think so.
Answer "yes" or "no" clearly.
Yes.
It was related.
What do you mean an interrogation? That's not possible.
That is illegal.
My dad has the right to a lawyer.
I know, Zoe.
But try arguing with those people.
Besides, they had a warrant.
Doctor.
I want to request some other blood tests for my dad.
We already did all the necessary tests.
And you found some sodium levels that were unusually high, right? And how do you know that? Doctor I'm sorry, I don't want to interfere with your job, but I think that my father is being poisoned.
Tell him that I want my money now.
That if he doesn't give me my money, I'll start telling everything.
Tell what? Your grandfather was a multimillionaire.
He owned several textile factories around the country.
Your father, Antonio, and your uncle Alberto were his heirs.
Your grandfather removed Alberto from his will and made Antonio his only heir.
Alberto wanted the inheritance, and he formed an alliance with Esteban to get it.
Esteban managed to get your father convicted for Leslie Delgado's murder.
Look in your grandfather Antonio's factory.
Your father's suicide changed everything.
Their plan fell through and they were not able to collect the inheritance.
Years later, Alberto died and you were the only heir.
Where is that factory, Lucinda? How can I find it? On the outskirts of the city, abandoned.
The case was closed, and nobody went back.
Only Antonio and I knew what was hidden there.
Dr.
Oropesa is doing the tests on Leonardo.
What do you expect to find? Do you remember the seizures that my father had the night he was hospitalized? They were due to a blood sodium increase.
That's why the doctor thought it was kidney failure, but when that cause was ruled out, I remembered something I read.
If you transfuse sodium in very small doses, it might be untraceable, but it still does its job.
Someone is injecting Dad with sodium.
That would explain Leonardo's behavior.
His confession.
That only explains the seizures.
I don't know about the rest.
If they injected him with sodium, they could've injected him with anything.
Scopolamine, sodium pentothal, I don't know, any chemical substance that could alter his will.
Well, but we won't know that until they do some tests, right? Was anyone else alone with him? No, access was strictly restricted to family members only.
The only people in the room were Zoe, Esteban Esteban and I.
What's up? Everything that you set out to do in life, DarÃo, you can acheive.
Like your grandfather did.
And everything that you see here, belongs to him.
And who knows? Maybe one day we'll be the owners of all of this.
Ms.
Ballesteros, is it true that Judge Solares is being held for femicide? Please let me go through.
Did he have a romantic relationship with the victim? I have nothing to say.
Ma'am, did the Judge confess under pressure? No comment.
Ma'am, any comment, please? Tell us something! How the hell was this information leaked to the press? I don't know how, ma'am.
I'll look into it.
The confession of Judge Leonardo Solares has caused surprise and indignation in the public opinion.
Solares is well known for his work against femicide in our country.
He's been quite outspoken on the subject.
That's why his recent declaration as the alleged murderer of a woman in the State of Morelos has caused so much surprise.
Unofficial sources also revealed - that Judge Solares - What did I do? is linked to the disappearance My god, what did I do? - What's the matter? - Was I drugged, or what? I don't know if I killed Brenda.
I don't think you killed Brenda.
Why would you hurt a friend of Mom's? Sweetie There are things in my past that you don't know.
And just remembering them makes me ashamed.
Are you talking about DarÃo's dad? What do you know about that? DarÃo told me that you tried to bribe his mom.
Her name is Lucinda, do you know her? Lucinda Lucinda was married to Antonio Guerra.
He was in prison about ten years ago, and he committed suicide there.
I remember that suicide.
December 24th.
The same day as your birthday.
And yes, I did know her, Zoe.
There was circumstantial evidence, the suspicions that incriminated him, but in the end, they were just that, mere suspicions.
I just needed to find a culprit to deliver to the authorities.
I found him in Antonio Guerra.
Was he innocent? I'll never know.
COPY OF DEED TITLE HOLDER: TERCIMEX, INC.
DarÃo told me that Esteban took him to a factory on the outskirts of Mexico City.
And that it smelled of dead bodies.
What if he butchered Brenda's body there? That's a possibility.
Now, there's something I don't understand.
Why would Esteban limit himself to torturing DarÃo instead of killing him? Because I knew he was with him.
He couldn't kill him.
My mom and Edith are now with that police officer from Morelos.
They'll prove that you're innocent, okay? I very much doubt it, Zoe.
Esteban says that there is evidence that incriminates me.
Listen to me.
Stop saying those things, okay? Promise me that you won't give up.
No, sweetie.
This is the end.
There's no way out.
One of the videos of Brenda's house is missing.
What if Esteban was there during the gap for which we haven't seen the security videos? Yes, but if Leonardo and Brenda were together, then why aren't Leonardo's fingerprints in her house? Because most of the evidence never made it to the lab.
Esteban insisted on closing the case.
- Doctor! - Is everything okay? - Doctor! - Light.
The light, my head.
What's wrong with him, doctor? Are you okay? - Doctor.
- Take him to the CT scan unit right away! - Doctor, damn it, do something! - Calm down.
- Everything will be fine.
- No, it won't.
May I help you? Do you feel ill? Yes - Everything will be okay.
- No.
Calm down.
Doctor, you can't take him anywhere.
Get back, it's an emergency.
Probable subarachnoid hemorrhage, we need a CT scan.
Let's go.
Doctor, I need to go with my dad, okay? There's a call from Brenda's cell phone to Esteban's cell phone at 1:06 a.
m.
How can we find out what they talked about? It's DarÃo.
DarÃo.
- Alma, listen to me.
- Where are you? At my grandfather's factory.
Call the police, Esteban is here.
I know everything, you bastard.
Did you think I wouldn't find out, you son of a bitch? - Excuse me.
- You can't go in.
Son of a bitch.
You used my mom, asshole! What did you offer her in exchange, bastard? Huh? You don't understand anything, asshole.
You fucked Brenda so she'd testify against my dad, asshole.
It's over! It's over.
Calm down, Esteban.
You're crazy, asshole.
If you do it, we'll both blow up.
I don't have anything to lose.
And you? That's DarÃo's car.
Let's go down there.
Carmona, do an inspection.
Let's go inside! Come on! Let's go! It's DarÃo.
Alma I'm so sorry, my love.
What I regret the most is that I won't see you again.
There are so many things that I'd like to tell you.
But what matters most is that you know that I love you.
That I love you with all my soul.
DARÃO CALL ENDED No.
Abort! Revelation 21:08.
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars, they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
This is the second death.
Thank you.
Brother.
How is it going? Look what I brought you.
