High Heat (2022) s01e28 Episode Script

His name is Alfonso Quiroga.
Clearly, they call him "Poncho."
I want you to get close to him,
befriend him, follow him day and night.
Why, Dad?
Least said, soonest mended.
Just do as I say.
[Hugo] So, little Poncho
wants to be a firefighter now.
[chuckles]
How long will I have
to keep doing this, Dad?
When will I live a peaceful life?
The day we don't have any more enemies.
That's the day we will rest.
I don't get it. What does Poncho
have to do with all of this?
Why do you want him to be
in that fire station? Why not another one?
I've told you several times before,
"Least said"
soonest mended.
Very good.
I need you to find out
everything about him.
What he wants, who he hangs out with,
who is after him,
who he suspects of murdering his brother.
I want to know everything.
How do you want me to do that
if I barely know him?
Make him fall for you.
Use your charm.
Are you asking me to sleep
with him to take information from him?
Do whatever it takes.
You're sick!
Olivia! Olivia!
[sighs]
What kind of father are you?
OK, here's the truth.
Poncho's father is a murderer.
And he's about to get out of prison.
His name is Ricardo Urzúa.
I need you close to him
to get me all the information you can.
Are you asking me to get involved
with the father and the son?
I didn't say that.
I told you to do whatever it takes.
What? You don't want
to save your father?
Save you from what, Dad?
From people who want me dead.
Why? I just don't I just don't get it.
Bad people, Olivia.
There are really bad people in this world.
Look, I've always wanted
to give you the best.
I raised you, I protected you.
I've never let anything bad
happen to you. Trust me.
OK?
But
if you want to leave me all alone,
it's on you.
Dad.
I feel there's something
you're not telling me,
and I will be the only one
who will pay for it.
I killed Leonora Robledo.
A NETFLIX SERIES
I was sick of her getting
in the way of our relationship.
Poncho did nothing wrong.
Please let him go.
[Esteban] Why are you lying?
What do you mean?
You haven't even started
the investigation. Let him go.
You are making a huge mistake.
This is not an official statement,
so why don't you just go home
We don't like to have our time
and resources wasted here.
You know what you have to do.
Oh!
Er I'm sorry.
- We were
- No, no.
Nothing to be sorry about.
Love doesn't apologize.
And rest assured.
My lips are sealed.
Anyway, this won't happen again here.
Why not?
This should happen time and again!
Just know that you have
the best girl in the world.
Fabio
But I'll have to take her away from you.
There are firefighters to support.
Poetry is my thing.
I'm the poet of the house.
[clears throat]
OK.
I'm sorry.
You're free.
What? Really?
Who came for me? Was it my lawyer?
Who was it? Ricardo?
The orders came from the top.
Olivia? What happened?
Olivia, what are you doing here?
What? Why are you taking her? Olivia!
What happened? Olivia, what's wrong?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Why are you pushing me?
When will I be interrogated?
When will I be interrogated?
- I understand the way you feel.
- [Mayte] No, you don't.
Nobody can put themselves in my shoes.
Maybe. But you have to be honest
and realize Gerardo didn't cheat,
he fell for a man who's in love with him.
Leave me alone.
Of course, I don't know what it feels like
to find out my boyfriend is gay,
but I do know what it feels like
to find out the man you loved
wasn't the person he said he was.
A liar.
A cold-blooded liar who lied
for many years,
because he had
a second life behind my back.
In secret. Tell me,
would you rather have had that?
In exchange for not seeing the truth,
Gerardo led a double life
in secret,
behind your back.
You know what I would have preferred?
That his love for me was so strong
he wouldn't have any doubts.
You can't force love.
Neither can you choose
who you fall in love with.
Love happens. And, when it does,
it's so strong
that it knows no reason.
Leave me alone.
Thank you.
Poncho, it's all over.
Thank God, Son.
Why is Olivia here? What did she do?
Olivia's here?
Yes, I just saw her.
The officer took her into a cell.
What is it?
I have no idea. They told me
you were free because of lack of evidence,
but they're still investigating.
I don't know what happened.
Your friend took the blame
for Leonora's death.
Olivia confessed to it?
Yes, although I have my reservations.
I need to see her,
I want to speak with her.
Beat it, Quiroga.
I'm running out of patience with you.
No way! I'm not leaving
[Esteban]
You can't leave the country now,
so don't try to be a smart-ass!
Take him away already, before I regret it.
Hey, hey, hey, Poncho, hey, hey.
- So here we are.
- Can I look now?
You can look now.
You did all of this?
[gasps]
You're making progress in your recovery,
which calls for a celebration.
Besides, we have a menu
as per the doctor's orders.
We have lemonade,
tuna patties, delicious pasta,
vegetables, and some bread.
Allow me.
Thank you.
So, you cook, too?
Where have you been all my life?
Succeeding?
I've been looking for my destiny.
I have
done a little bit of everything,
but I haven't succeeded in anything.
Have you eaten anything?
Should I order a pizza for you?
I'm not hungry.
I want to know if Olivia really did it,
but I want to hear it from her lips.
I can stay here for whatever you need.
Poncho, maybe what you need
is a family to look after you.
Why did she take the blame?
Did she actually do it, or is she lying?
Look, I don't really think
Olivia is a murderer.
Why are you so sure?
I'm sorry.
I forgot you know her really well.
I don't think this is the moment
to talk about that.
When, then?
When she's thrown in jail for 25 years?
Are you in love with her?
I thought you were with Leonora.
I don't know.
I don't know what to feel anymore.
I'm not talking about this issue with you,
not in the state things are right now.
Besides, I have to go attend to something.
What is that?
You're talking to her, right?
No, Poncho!
No! I'm going to see your teammates
at the fire station.
They got a gig at a club
because of the calendar thing
and they only said yes
to collect money to bail you out.
I'm going to tell them you're free, and
we need to help someone else.
And yes,
we need to help Olivia because she
is an important part of this institution.
And not because I
or she and I
[sighs]
Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow.
I've done a little bit of everything.
From doing dishes at a restaurant
to personal trainer for ladies,
but I had to quit because one of them
Well, she asked me to share a night
of passion with her.
[chuckling] What now?
And that's not all. Look, I've been
an ambulance driver,
a fast-food delivery guy,
a nurse assistant. When your mom is sick
and money is tight, well
you'll do anything.
Which is why now I want to prove to myself
that I can make my dreams come true.
And what are your dreams?
One is to run my own restaurant.
And the other one
The other one has already come true.
Cheers to that.
Cheers.
[all chanting]
Finefighters! Finefighters!
Finefighters! Finefighters!
Finefighters! Finefighters!
What time does the show start?
How does it work?
I guess when the shitload
of women still out there comes in.
[Fabio]
Yeah? There's Ricardo.
We have a problem.
I got a shitload of cash.
This is a fucking success.
- Look at that.
- We'll bail Poncho out in no time.
Guys, I really
can't thank you enough
for what you've done,
but uh Poncho is free.
Great news!
All of this is going to the station.
Olivia confessed
to having killed Leonora.
She's under arrest.
- What now?
- She did?
[phone beeps]
I gotta take this.
That's impossible,
Olivia can't be a murderer.
It's gotta be a mistake.
- Absolutely.
- She couldn't have killed anybody.
- It's impossible.
- Yes?
Yes, I'm listening. What is it?
OK, OK.
I see your point and I agree, but
What do you need?
I need you to reply faster,
that's what I need.
Are you pressuring me?
[Luis] No, no, no.
Let's not put it like that. Look
Your niece is with me,
sleeping peacefully in her room.
And I want her to stay that way,
to keep sleeping well, to keep on being
an innocent girl,
without harmful thoughts or threats.
[Ángel] As much as I understand what you
want, Ana is my sister.
I can't get there and testify against her
in court. What are you talking about?
[Luis] Listen.
What will it take to convince you?
I'm not following.
[Luis]
I'm willing to reward you
very well for the favor you are doing me.
That you are doing to your niece.
Do not forget that all of this is for her.
Think it through, Angelito.
I got her address,
I went to her house,
and I killed her.
How did you kill her?
You've seen the body, haven't you?
You know how I did it.
I want to hear it from you.
I don't remember,
I don't remember well because
I drank a lot the night before.
Er
I saw Leonora kissing Poncho.
I don't remember what I did.
Where was Leonora when you killed her?
She was
She was outside her house.
So, you killed her at her apartment
and took her 24 hours later
to Quiroga's house.
Yeah.
Who ordered you to do it?
[scoffs] Do I look like I follow orders?
You do.
Well, find it out. That's your job, right?
Please take her away.
Good night. Maybe spending the night
here helps you to be more collaborative
and tell the truth.
Thank you.
We have a problem.
[Olivia]
And although I've just met you,
I'm not planning to go anywhere.
[Poncho]
It couldn't have been Olivia.
It couldn't have been her.
You have no idea
everything I've done for you!
Hey, I won't let anything happen to you.
[sighs]
I feel there's something
you're not telling me,
and I will be the only one
who will pay for it.
They love you.
Hey! It's our turn, dude. Come on!
Let's go.
Good luck to the handsomest
firefighter of the night.
Sure. Thanks.
Everything in order, Linares?
[crowd chants]
Finefighters! Finefighters!
Yeah.
Everything's in order.
[chanting]
Finefighters! Finefighters!
[cheers, applause]

Let's go, let's go.
Let's go.
Please, Ricardo, take the children,
take them out of here.
- Please.
- Don't make me choose.
Please take the children.
[coughs]
[sobs]
You don't deserve this, Poncho.
You don't deserve it.
The idea is to put some tables
with big umbrellas
up there on the roof for the summer
because we want people
to have a good time,
not get roasted.
If it's hot, we can ask the firefighters
to spray us with water to keep us cool.
If we get the license,
we could offer beers.
Beers, mezcal, and cocktails
with little colorful umbrellas.
That always works.
But be careful because
I'm a bartender at heart.
And I'm a bartender's customer.
Padilla and Padilla.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
- Let me help you.
- Thanks.
I'm ready to go to the hospital.
I love you. Everything will be OK.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Let's go.
Look at this, dude, Mexican-style eggs.
Great to get the energy you need.
A little onion, a little tomato,
no Serrano pepper, but
Thank you,
but I'm not sure I want breakfast.
It's good for you. I came here especially
to make sure you ate.
I need to go to the police station.
I want to speak with Olivia.
Olivia is incapable of killing someone.
It's absurd, I know her very well and
I mean, you and I know her.
You know her better.
She has a temper, but killing someone?
But she's hiding something.
Something neither you nor I know.
Everyone's hiding something, right?
I just have to find out what she's hiding.
Drop it, Poncho.
Take a few days off, get some rest.
You've been through a lot.
No, no, no, no, I don't want to rest.
I have to take care of you.
It's my duty as your father.
First things first.
I need to get rid of any doubts.
Trust your father.
Let Olivia handle her problems by herself.
Now you have to take care of yourself.
Thanks for everything, really.
You were there for me when I was in jail
and now here at home.
I never had a father.
Thank you.
Thank you for letting me into your home
and for trusting me.
I will not discuss the matter with you.
"The matter?" That's what you call
sleeping with men behind your girl's back?
Dad.
What? Someone
has to call things by their name.
Don't start with diversity and bullshit,
because what you are is sick!
It's a fucking trend to feel special.
Dad, don't talk to him like that.
Now you're on his side?
I'm just asking you to talk
I didn't come here to fucking talk!
You don't talk to faggots,
you make them understand in other ways.
Dad! Dad, stop it! Dad! Stop stop.
I'm so lucky I don't give a fuck
what you think. Because you know what?
Some men aren't so lucky
and can't take the rejection
from supposedly loved ones.
Men who could have had a happy life,
but got screwed over by fathers like you!
Leaving them with no will to live,
feeling ashamed of who they are.
All of it just for letting down a family.
So think whatever you want about me, Dad.
- Hit me if you want.
- Hold on, Gera.
But homosexuality has never been
punched out of anyone,
make no mistake about it.
And if you are suffering
because you didn't get the son you wanted,
go on your merry way and suffer
because I'm better than ever.
I want you out of this apartment
and away from here.
I will no longer support a pervert.
And forget you have a father!
Don't worry, I already have.
[Esteban] Thank you.
Hey. I need to make a phone call.
This is not a hotel.
I know my rights.
Cool, now you can tell the judge
we always treated you like a queen.
[whispers] The inmate has a visitor.
Lucky you, you have a visitor.
Looks like someone was missing this place.
Hey.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I want to hear your explanation.
You know everything.
I confessed to killing Leonora,
that's why they let you go.
But I don't get it.
- You're not a murderer.
- [Olivia sighs]
Or are you going to tell me
you've been lying to me this whole time?
I just did what I had to do.
Killing? Blaming yourself?
Why are you doing it?
Because I'm in love.
And no, I didn't kill anyone.
As soon as they know the truth,
they will let me go,
but we often have to atone for our faults
in order for the truth to come out.
What faults? You're talking in code again.
Honestly, I want to understand you.
Poncho, I did it for you. That's it.
Your time is up.
I'm not done.
[officer] You're leaving!
[Poncho]
I hope you'll tell me the truth one day.
[Olivia sighs]
[Fabio] Hey. Hey.
You are the shit, Gera, OK?
Hey. Hey.
That's how you talk to a heartless
homophobe, whoever they are.
Now I gotta look for a new place.
I wanna get outta there.
I don't wanna owe him.
OK, I agree.
Do you want me to talk to Mom
No! No! With Mayte there, there's no way.
Right.
Well, we can, I don't know,
buy a mattress or a bed, put it here
There's no money. After this investment,
we're left with nothing.
But this place is doing well?
Yes, but we have to recover the investment
to make a profit, we need more.
Okay, there, there. Easy, easy, easy.
There's two of us, we'll figure it out.
Two people are always better than one.
Yes, but, dude, no really
You could have any man without the issues
of a guy that just came out.
You don't deserve it. Why did you
have to choose the most complicated one?
For the same reason
you had to choose the most obsessive,
the most unpredictable and intense
of them all, Gera. Love is weird, Gera.
But now that we have this,
at least I want to start enjoying it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I'd like to invite everyone who took part
in the emergency. How about that?
Yes, of course. They'll be really excited.
They're already in love with
this firefighter and future Captain.
- What?
- Captain or future General.
Over my dead body.
How come? He has his godfather
who will take care of him.
I will teach you everything so you become
a good captain. Right, buddy?
He's already asleep.
I don't know what you do
to make him fall asleep so fast.
I will take him to his crib.
OK, but be careful.
Of course.
Bye, champ.
I've made up my mind.
I'm getting an abortion. I have
an appointment tomorrow. Don't judge me.
Gaby, I could never judge you.
That's a very personal decision.
I've never dreamed of being a mother.
When my friends played with dolls
and dreamed of marrying Prince Charming,
I was reading geography books
wondering where I wanted to travel to.
A baby is not in my plans.
Not everyone dreams of being a mom,
and that's OK.
I know. You're a really good mom.
I could never be like you.
Hey, do you still think
Molina shouldn't know?
I think he has the right to know.
No, it's better this way, Ana.
[phone rings]
[sighs] It's Luis.
What do you want, Luis?
Honey! No, I didn't think it was you.
Why are you crying?
I'm on my way. It's fine.
Calm down, everything will be all right.
It's Laura, Luis is roaring drunk.
Wait, Ana. I'm coming with you!
[loud knocking]
Hey, I'm coming, I'm coming.
Easy, I'm coming.
Yes? Hey! What's up?
Who are you?
Sorry, er
Julián Montoya, Fátima's friend.
Well, you can go now, "Fátima's friend."
No, forget about it, asshole.
You can't just barge in.
You're the one in the way. Move!
Son of a bitch. Look, dude
Look, asshole
Julián, don't!
He's Juliancito's dad.
I don't want to see you
near my son again, asshole.
Let's go.
Hey, calm down!
What did Quiroga say to her?
Well, he asked for explanations,
and the girl confessed her love
and insisted she was innocent.
Keep me posted on everything.
Who asks about her, and
make sure Gutiérrez
keeps tabs on Quiroga.
I want to know his every move, OK?
Yes, boss. Excuse me.
Go ahead.
Yes, boss?
How come you don't answer?
I've been trying to let you know the news.
I was busy, what do you want?
How are you treating Quiroga?
[Esteban] We had to let him go
due to lack of evidence.
The DA's office was onto us.
But we have a person
who is an alleged culprit.
Which is why I was trying
to get hold of you since yesterday.
What? I'm not following.
What is your plan by sending your daughter
to incriminate herself?
What? Olivia took the blame
for the cop's death?
Are you sure you can do this?
It's so much work.
When you asked me to help you,
with all due respect to you and the place,
I didn't think it was this fucked up.
And I don't know how you're not scared
of living here, Molina, really.
When I'm done with it,
it will be fucking cool, you'll see.
Yeah
But this clearly needs paint,
plumbing, electricity, and I don't know
about the structural condition
You know I support you.
- Thanks, bro.
- Sure.
Well, so let me go get the tools
from the car and
And I'll help you. Let's go.
- See you in a minute!
- Yup!
[rumbling]
