A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mommy!
Mejía for President, gentlemen!
Hello, honey. How are you?
Good.
Hey, I wanted to ask you. Do you remember Fabiola Contreras?
A lawyer who used to work at the courthouse.
Yes.
Of course I remember her.
You told me she wasn't trustworthy.
Yes.
Have you seen her?
No. She simply vanished.
I don't know where she is.
Hmm. Why do you ask about her, though?
Because I discovered something huge
that might explain why Mejía had my mother killed.
What?
She was pregnant.
And she had Fabiola file a paternity case.
Or at least that's what we believe she did.
But we're missing key information.
What are you missing?
The actual case file.
I did some digging at the courthouse, but it isn't there.
So I wanted to ask you if you knew someone who could help us.
Ready to go to the DA's office?
I am. But Ana Lucía is getting changed.
Poor thing. She had a restless night.
Here, Andrea. You keep this safe.
What is this?
The paternity case Darelis filed against Mejía.
That's a copy.
It's the only hard evidence against Mejía.
You're taking the girl to the DA's office, so you keep it.
Okay.
Hello? Are you there?
Yes, I'm here. It's just everything seems so off to me.
Why?
Maybe Fabiola's been working with Mejía.
She probably hid the case file.
But you are speculating, sweetie.
Precisely. Fabiola must know for sure.
That's why I need to talk to her.
But now they're going to pay for two deaths, not one.
What do you mean?
My mom and the baby's.
Sweetheart, please, you have to stop.
Did you hear what I just said?
Mejía killed my mom while she was pregnant! Hello?
He must pay for what he did. Why can't you understand?
But you already know why he did it. A paternity suit.
But I want him to confess. I want everyone to know what he did!
Analía, I beg you to rethink this.
You know what?
I'm sorry I asked you about Fabiola Contreras.
I know you only want to forget.
And I know you can forget it too.
Let's just stop talking about this.
I love you.
PLAINTIFF REQUESTS THAT THE COURT RECOGNIZE
GUILLERMO MEJÍA AS THE FATHER OF ANA LUCÍA JUNCA
I don't get why Andrea is so opposed to me seeking revenge.
Her life changed forever when she had to rescue me.
Because she loves you and she's worried about you.
It can't be easy for her seeing you in this situation.
She will have to get used to it. I'm not backing down.
Anything on Fabiola Contreras?
We got a lead in Ecuador.
She was recently released from a penitentiary in Ibarra.
-Is she still in Ecuador? -Unclear.
Don't worry. We will track her down.
Do whatever it takes.
Fabiola holds the key to what happened between my mom and Mejía.
How are you, sir?
Long time no see.
Did you miss me?
So, you come into my office to blackmail me with some scrap of paper?
I am not here to blackmail you.
I'm here to offer my services and to warn you.
Warn me about what?
I ran into Ana Lucía in the courthouse hall.
Since I know she's important to you, I came to warn you.
-Did you see her? -I even talked to her.
You wouldn't believe the horrible things she's accusing you of.
She's even been saying you killed her mother.
Can you believe it?
When did you get out?
A few weeks ago.
I wanted to thank you
for supporting my mother all these years.
She never asked for anything while I was...
May she rest in peace.
That's genuine loyalty between friends.
Mutual loyalty, sir.
Since I spent all those years in prison for you.
Fabiola, why don't you cut to the chase?
I need a job.
I like to keep busy.
I see.
I can certainly give you a reference.
No.
I want to work here.
It's such an elegant place.
What?
-Am I unworthy of your campaign, sir? -I never said that.
I get the impression you are not pleased to see me.
Which is a shame, really...
considering all the secrets I have kept for you all these years, sir.
Fabiola, I'm well aware of that. And I've always valued your loyalty.
You know I have.
And I hope you keep doing just that, sir.
God forbid anything should happen to me.
Like those poor girls, the Juncas?
That would be such a shame. So many secrets would come out, sir.
And who would save you then?
Did you come back to threaten me?
No!
How can you say that, sir?
It sounds so awful.
I came back because...
surely you could use the talents...
of a lawyer of my caliber.
And, besides, we could be very good friends.
How is Heli?
She's staying at her best friend's house.
You should know that she heard Carolina and I argue.
Carolina mentioned you.
And, obviously, Heli asked about us.
-What did you tell her? -The truth.
I told her the truth.
That you had nothing to do with this.
Hey.
What is it?
You said you wouldn't feel guilty about my divorce, right?
-Yes, I know. -Don't forget we agreed on that.
Still, I am worried about Heli.
Yes. I am worried about her, too.
But she needs to be aware of what's going on.
She has to understand Carolina and I are over.
You know we always have to tell the truth.
Always.
And, speaking of the truth, you should know...
I provided a DNA sample.
For a paternity test.
I thought you didn't believe her.
At first, I didn't.
But, afterwards, I started to have...
some major doubts.
Because if it's true that I'm not Helena's biological father,
I need to be prepared.
She might ask for full custody. She would do that.
Fight for her.
You won't lose her.
No one can break such a strong and beautiful bond.
Come here.
You are with me. In this moment.
Oh!
Hi.
Did you sleep well?
Actually, this is the first time...
in I don't know how long...
that I didn't wake up from the same nightmare
I have every night.
And that is thanks to you.
Really?
Do you have recurring nightmares? Why?
It's just...
a weird dream I've had since I was a child.
But not today.
Wow! In that case...
we should do something about it.
-Yeah? -Yes, absolutely.
I'm thinking a good solution might be if you slept by my side
every day for the rest of your life.
-Yeah? -Yeah. I think it's a very good solution.
-Is that so? -Yes.
I'm getting quite serious here, aren't I?
Wait! Don't go!
I will try to make it quick.
Mom? Hello.
Your father isn't doing well.
Where are you?
At the house. Cristian says we shouldn't move him.
Okay.
I'm on my way.
-What is it? -My dad.
He's gotten worse.
-Really? -Yes.
Oh, no. Let me know, okay?
-If there's any news. -Of course I will.
I have to go.
Thank you for tonight.
Bye.
I've already sent you his ID and details.
I need all the info on this guy.
Medical background, if he's sick, if he has a pension, everything.
Here, sir.
Let's see. The profit curve kept growing during these years.
-Right. -But I see an inconsistency...
Give me a second. Right about...
-...here. -Right.
Excuse me.
Hello?
David, Dad's gotten worse. See you at home.
I'm on my way, okay?
Excuse me. I have a family emergency.
Keep me posted.
Of course, sir.
Mom.
Oh, sweetheart!
It's okay, Mom.
What did Ortiz say?
Your father is hallucinating because the tumor is growing fast.
They just gave him morphine.
This cannot be happening, son. It just can't be.
It's okay, Mom.
I have Padrón's financial report.
Good job.
-How are you, Jorge? -Good, Mr. Santiago. How are you, sir?
I'm good, but...
I could be better and that depends on you.
I don't... I don't think I follow, sir.
Listen, I think we should help each other out.
Quid pro quo, you know? You would benefit greatly.
Right. And how would I benefit?
First, don't get embarrassed, okay?
But I recently found out that you're going through
a very difficult financial situation. Money's tight, right?
No, sir.
Where did you get that from? No.
I make an effort to learn how my employees are doing.
How they feel, what problems they have.
How I can help them, you know? And I realized that you're struggling.
How would you help me?
Listen, Padrón.
It is not in my best interest...
that my cousins find out about, well, certain inconsistencies...
on the balance sheet.
Is this a bribe?
No, Padrón.
However, I can tell you it is never wise...
to go against people who have money and power.
It is better to work alongside them, right?
Should you feel tempted...
to open your mouth,
trust me when I say money will be a secondary problem.
It's up to you, Padrón. What do you say?
Have a good day.
Bye.
Pablo.
How many times do I have to tell you
not to stay up late playing in the tree house?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Forgive me.
Where's your little brother?
And that little girl you always play with?
Ana Lucía?
-That's the one. -Yes.
-Her. -I know.
Tell them to come see me. I brought them some chocolates.
-I will, Dad. -Tell them.
I will, but get some rest, okay, Dad?
It hurts!
-It's okay, Dad. -It hurts so much!
The morphine should kick in soon.
-You're okay. -It hurts, Pablo.
Yes. I know, Dad.
Dad.
Pablo?
-Yes, Dad. -Pablo, son.
Here I am, old man.
Here I am.
Hello.
-Where's Mom? -She's inside with Dad.
-Okay. -Hey.
How's the audit going?
Padrón says there's nothing unusual.
He just finds it a little strange that resources are running out so fast.
We have to check that against the income and expense balances, right?
You know that takes time, right? The guy's really good, but it takes time.
Okay. Go see Mom and Dad.
I have a conciliation meeting with Carolina.
Conciliation?
It's just a formality. There is no turning back.
Good luck, bro.
Come here.
Go and cheer up the folks, okay?
Son.
We didn't finish our talk.
Did you get anything on your father?
Unbelievable. You're talking just like him.
Excuse me? Do not compare me to him.
But it's true.
All you care about is that I carry out the plan you've designed for me,
which, by the way, I won't.
Why not?
Because I refuse to be stuck in the middle.
Don't you understand that we must break free from him?
Sadly,
I have to break free from you, too.
How can you say that?
I've always supported you, I'm the one who's always had your back.
The one who's always treated me like an idiot, just like Dad.
That is not true.
In the end, all you care about is hurting each other.
So, fine, go ahead. I'm out.
And don't count on me anymore.
What's wrong?
None of your business.
Oops.
My client requests an equal distribution of marital assets.
And my client will accept
as long as both parents share custody of the child.
Your honor. My client...
would like to speak with Mr. De La Torre in private.
I will allow it.
Let's resume in 15 minutes.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
I'm only asking for what's fair.
Time with my daughter.
And you keep half of our assets.
I want half of everything, including the construction company.
Carolina, that's not possible.
The company is not only mine, it's my dad's, it's my family's.
No judge is going to back you up. Do some research. Ask your lawyer.
You do some research and figure something out.
If you don't, you won't see Heli again.
I didn't lie to you.
Helena is not your daughter.
I'm aware of your threat.
And I will fight for her.
I can cause a scandal that'll make big problems for you.
You just started working with Pérez, right?
Let's not go there, Carolina.
You know you won't find any fault in my character as a parent.
Now, you...
Let me remind you you have a lover.
Not to mention you had an affair at the beginning of our marriage
with a man who's allegedly Helena's father.
Imagine if I revealed all the psychological and emotional abuse
that pushed me into the arms of another man.
I can also reveal you're seeing Analía.
None other than the advisor for Guillermo Mejía, your boss's rival.
-Kind of odd, no? -Do you have proof?
I don't think so.
You will be left with so much resentment, Carolina,
that it will blind you.
And you won't be able to see all the pain you're causing.
What's behind this bizarre breakfast invitation?
I want to let my family know how the campaign is going.
We're still leading.
It's amazing how people have responded to Liliana Camargo as vice president.
We are going to run an ad with her and other community leaders
giving testimonies in my favor.
I thought you hated those kinds of people.
Women...
What was it you said? They want to be men?
On the contrary, dear. My campaign calls for women like her,
women who aren't useless.
Could you please stop being so passive-aggressive?
You should ask for a little brother instead.
CAN WE MEET TODAY? NO POLITICS, I PROMISE.
We're heading to campaign headquarters after this.
What are you doing?
Nothing. I'm useless, after all.
I will just waste my time here, hanging with friends.
Mom.
Marrying the great Guillermo León Mejía was my only accomplishment in life.
Seriously, that's enough. Could you please stop?
Let them be. They love insulting each other.
Okay, I'll leave you to it. Excuse me.
If the election were today, Mejía and Pérez would go to the second round.
Isa.
Check this out.
Why is Mark talking to Rosario?
No way. Are they seeing each other?
CAN WE MEET TODAY?
Look at the message Benji intercepted.
Classic Mark.
He probably figured out
that Mejía's Achilles' heel is his relationship with Rosario.
Do you think he would seduce her to get intel on Mejía?
It's possible.
You know what? I don't think so.
I have a hard time thinking Rosario is that naive.
Their relationship is a farce.
And you know Mark. He resorts to diplomacy and seduction.
Tell Benji to keep an eye on them.
That relationship could be useful in the future.
Bye.
No.
Wait.
Stay here.
And follow my wife.
You are dismissed. I won't be needing you.
Don't worry. I'll take it from here.
And they are our social leaders.
We will start with them
and then replicate this model in the other states.
We need to stress how our message of diversity
seeks to represent unheard voices in your government.
Women and minorities.
Democratic Force united with the people will make the difference.
Don't forget that campaign tagline, okay?
Are we ready?
No. We're missing...
Dora Serna.
-Where is she? We're starting in five. -Toto, do you know where she is?
We agreed to meet here
because I have to pick up Yeferson, my kid, from school.
But I have no idea why she isn't here yet.
In the meantime, help yourselves to some coffee.
-We have some appetizers, too. -Please. Help yourselves.
We have coffee, herbal tea...
Some muffins. Do you like raisins?
-Please. -Thanks.
ANALÍA CALLING
Aren't you gonna take that, babe?
They must be calling because I didn't make it to the meeting.
Didn't we agree we were going to talk?
And, one more thing, don't tell Toto we're fighting.
Don't worry.
I know you're not so brave when arguing with men.
"Democratic Force."
Memo, I have some news.
I took care of the audit with the construction company.
Not the right time, Santiago.
Okay. I just wanted you to know.
What's the second?
That bum Analía brought in. Toto?
It's the same lowlife who was in the picture with her, the criminal.
Yes, I know.
I recognized him. What about it?
I just think it's too risky to have a criminal
-linked to a campaign. -Keep it down.
Keep it down.
Excuse me. Is the gentleman talking about me?
You know what? Yes, I am.
Excuse me.
Please tape that conversation.
I know you've had run-ins with the law,
and I think that's too risky. You're a cancer on this campaign.
A cancer? But you said I had run-ins with the law. Past tense.
I've already paid my dues. I'm a reformed citizen now, sir.
I might not be as squeaky clean as you are,
but, with all due respect, I'm already part of this.
Do you know why? Because I want to fight for my people.
Be a good leader. Just like you, sir.
Toto.
Anyone who gets a second chance is welcome in my campaign.
In the country we want to build alongside you,
there is plenty of room for people who want to better themselves.
And I'm so grateful, sir.
It is so hard to find people with an open mind
and an open heart who are willing to help people like me.
You have my respect, sir. Thank you.
I will always support those who wish to move forward.
Always.
-Are we ready to roll? -Yes.
-Let's go. -Sure.
Thank you all for your support. Let's start with the tagline.
Make sure to look at the camera and say the line at the same time.
-Okay. Let's count to three. -Come on.
One, two...
Democratic Force united with the people will make the difference!
-It's "make the difference." -Yes, not "make a difference."
-And smile at the end, okay? -Okay.
Your invitation was just what I needed. I've been so stressed out.
Oh? And why is that, if you don't mind me asking?
I don't like the woman my husband picked as his running mate.
-You don't like Mrs. Camargo? -No, I don't.
Her arrival changed everything. Now the focus is on the masses.
They're using testimonies from community leaders as a strategy.
Interesting.
Well played, too.
Wait. Are you fishing for information?
What? Me? No. We just got here. You just started talking.
I didn't even ask. You just said it.
Sorry, yes. Maybe you should do the talking.
No, it's okay. We should talk about how we feel.
But, if it's my turn to speak, then I would like to know
why you are so interested in helping the young women
from your aunt's foundation.
Do you really want to know?
I would hate to come across as too eager,
but I would love to know, as it says a lot about you
and how empathetic you can be.
And I bet you also love animals, right?
No, I mean it. Do you love animals?
-Yes. -There you go.
-Cheers to your good taste. -Cheers.
We managed to capture that bond you have with community leaders
and how eager you are to support people and help them progress.
Wait until we edit the whole thing. It will be wonderful.
I love this.
I love seeing you so involved.
Unlike before.
You seemed like an employee devoid of motivation.
I've always made an effort to do a good job, Dad.
Yes, precisely.
But I'd hate to see that spark die out. Like your brother's did.
Okay, go over any new ideas with Analía.
Actually, I wanted...
Your wife met with Mark Salinas.
Ramiro Pérez's campaign advisor.
Your orders, sir?
Search the office and the house. Turn them upside down if you must.
Check for bugs, cameras, tapped phones.
I need you to start following Santiago.
My team hasn't found any dirt on him.
And, honestly, we need dirt on him.
Okay.
But I need to go and pick up Yeferson at school first
-or Dorita will kill me. -Okay, go.
Okay.
THEY MIGHT FIND THE BUG AT THE HOUSE. REMOVE IT NOW!
Mr. President, we don't have time to run another ad.
We should simply release a statement where we make it clear
that no one's championed diversity and community support like we have.
I'm not sure.
-It seems rather rushed. -No, it's a brief statement.
We are just anticipating your ex's and Mejía's next move.
It's taking a step forward, Ramiro.
I know what I'm doing.
You...
-Good morning. -How are you?
-Can I see Rosario? -She isn't home yet.
-Do you mind if I wait for her? -Sure, ma'am.
Thanks.
They had planted a bug, sir.
I'm on my way.
You have to use your words. You won't solve anything by fighting.
-Fine. -Okay?
-Do you have homework? -A whole lot.
Then get to it, okay? I will check later.
Study hard and you will do much better in life than your dad.
Okay.
Coming!
-Sweetheart! -Hi, Mom!
-How was school? -Okay.
Lunch is ready, but go get changed first.
Alright.
What happened? You missed the meeting.
I don't have time for that.
Chasing politicians around. See you.
Wait. What the hell?
Is that why you skipped the meeting with the community leaders?
Toto, don't start nagging me, okay?
Who did that to you?
Who? You did! You left all those boxes at the store
and they fell on my face. Look!
Again with the boxes? I'm not an idiot. Otoniel hit you, didn't he?
Answer me!
You know he has a temper. Maybe he went a bit far this time.
No, he crossed a line. Now he will answer to me!
What? No!
Don't make matters worse for me, man.
This isn't just about you. There's my son, too.
I know how to protect my son. Don't worry about it.
This is a problem between Otoniel and me.
You'd better not hurt him, okay?
I can't believe you're defending him!
I am not defending him. Leave me alone, I can defend myself.
Mind your own business.
Listen to me, Dorita!
This is your life, okay?
If you want to live with a guy who disrespects you,
who beats you up,
that's your choice, but pray he never lays a finger on my son.
Not one hair, you hear me? If he does, he is a dead man!
I will kill him!
This is a 360 4D mic.
One gig of memory, wireless data transfer.
Planted in the light fixture next to your bedroom, sir.
Memo.
Get mad at me all you want...
but Analía is responsible for this.
Yes, according to you, she's to blame for everything.
Guillermo, please. Open your eyes.
Who, apart from us, goes in and out of this house as they please?
Who can just walk in here?
You are an idiot.
Do you know who your sister met with today?
No.
Mark Salinas. Pérez's campaign advisor.
Rosario wants to destroy me.
She said so herself when my daughter was kidnapped.
You need to consider that she said that at a very tense moment.
Do you really think she would trash the work of a lifetime?
Her work, by the way? For God's sake, Guillermo.
I guess she went mad and wants to end me by joining forces with my enemy.
Memo, don't jump to conclusions.
-You are blind to anything Analía does. -Enough, Santiago.
You say one word about this to Rosario
and I don't need to tell you what could happen, do I?
You know I would never betray you, right?
I hope that's true.
Because I don't even trust my own shadow.
How did the meeting go?
Not good at all, but at least I know what Carolina's endgame is.
She wants money, so we're going to trial.
I'm so sorry.
She also threatened to reveal that we're together, can you believe it?
You know that if she does, we could both lose our jobs, right?
Yes, I do. And don't worry.
She just wants my attention, using anything she can throw at me.
But she has no proof.
She even made up that I was emotionally abusing her
and that's why she cheated on me.
Why does she want to hurt you so badly?
When someone is ruled by hate,
there is no way to make them see that you can do things the nice way, too.
Hate is justified sometimes.
I disagree.
Hate is like a poison that blinds you.
Take Carolina, for example. Trust me, she wasn't like this.
Hey, I have to go.
My meeting is about to start. Okay?
-Okay. Talk to you later. Kisses. -Okay. Bye.
Did you get the mic?
No. The Engineer found it first.
Okay, but Mejía suspects it was his wife.
We have to turn suspicion into reality.
How?
By using her thing with Mark.
Your wife met with Mark Salinas.
Ramiro Pérez's campaign advisor.
May I come in?
I need to talk to you.
Your wife met with Mark Salinas.
How do you know?
Because I know Mark.
How?
We dated for two years.
And I also saw him talking to your wife at the Mursano event.
It didn't sit well, so I decided to follow him.
Without telling me?
I'm telling you now that my suspicion's been confirmed.
What did you find?
They met today at a restaurant.
I went by the house to warn Rosario, but she wasn't there.
Warn her about what?
That she's being used to get intel on you.
Or maybe she's providing it to screw me over.
It's no secret Rosario and I aren't getting along.
She always has an agenda.
Nothing worse than a wounded woman.
Oh, I agree.
I'll pretend that we have a perfect marriage in front of the press.
But when the election is over, whether you win or not...
we will divorce...
on my terms.
Do you know what I think?
You're making a huge mistake.
If you don't accept, I'll create a scandal.
And I swear you will hate me...
as much as I hate you now.
My wife planted a bug in the house.
You found a bug?
Rosario isn't being used. She's out to destroy me.
She said as much when Sofía was kidnapped.
She's passing information to Pérez through Mark.
-But she will listen to me. -No. Wait.
Perhaps you shouldn't tell her you know.
Okay, I don't get it.
Weren't you going to warn her?
I never forgive a betrayal.
Let's think this through.
I was going to warn her before I knew about the bug.
But after seeing that things have escalated this much,
maybe the best course of action is, I don't know...
Feed fake intel to the Pérez's campaign through her.
Trust me.
We can handle this without them knowing.
