A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mommy!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
Quick, it's for today!
Rosario! How's it going?
It's been a long time.
Impeccable as always.
Surprised?
Many years have passed since you worked for my husband.
I didn't think I'd see you again.
Mr. Mejía and I are inseparable.
In fact, I have to run to see how my boss is doing.
Goodbye.
Beautiful purse.
If you called me to talk about Alejandra,
my answer is still no.
I have a proposal for you.
Help me and we'll get a divorce, whether I win the presidency or not.
I don't believe you.
Rosario, you know me. I'm telling you the truth.
I wonder if I ever did.
But I'm not as stupid as you think,
so your word means nothing to me.
Okay.
We can tell Fabiola to write up a document...
Yes, I just ran into her.
Why didn't you tell me that she was working with you?
Was I supposed to?
In any case, I don't want anything from that woman.
In any case, Analía may have someone
to help us draft the document you want.
Perfect.
But I want a full divorce agreement.
I want the division of assets to be clear, what you'll give to your children.
As a kind of inheritance in life,
everyone equally, including Alejandra, obviously.
When you have that signed and notarized, I'll call Alejandra.
How are we doing?
It started a little slow, but then it took off.
People identify with Pablo's case
because similar things have happened to them with their partners.
They have been slandered and lost custody of their kids
or their careers were ruined, things like that.
No, great. Female support.
No, male too. Look at this.
"I, just like Pablo de la Torre, am a victim
of my ex-wife, who didn't want a divorce.
She has accused me of hitting her,
and, although I managed to prove my innocence,
I was marked among my friends and in my neighborhood."
This is great.
This is exactly what we need.
How can we get more testimonials like these?
A good copywriter.
I can think of something like...
I don't know, it has to do with being brave,
sharing your experiences to help others.
"Your voice should have no shame."
"Your voice heals."
Send that to all the influencers and activists on social media.
-And to the newscasts too. -Perfect.
There's something else. Something they'll like.
-I have new information on Carolina. -What?
Six years ago, she reported a co-worker
for psychological abuse.
And did they prove anything?
No, but he was fired from the company with compensation.
What about Carolina?
She, on the other hand, got promoted.
I have a copy of the lawsuit and the guy's data. I sent them to you.
Benji, that's great info.
In fact, it's very important because it shows
that Carolina did something similar to what she's doing to Pablo.
Exactly. Behavioral pattern.
I'll forward it to Pablo right now.
Didn't he tell you not to help him with this?
And?
There he is.
Hello.
-Did you see what I sent you? -Yes, that's why I called you.
You have to use it.
There's key info about the guy
who suffered because Carolina did to him what she's trying to do to you.
Analía, I... appreciate that you want to help me.
But I asked you to not get involved.
But with what I sent you, you can stop Carolina.
I mean, give it to your lawyer, you know?
Let him use it at the trial, so the judge...
Analía, no more. No more.
Understand that I'm doing this my way.
If we're cutting ties, let's stick to it.
It's the healthiest thing, don't you think?
Okay.
-As you wish. -No. It's not what I want.
Because I would prefer to be with you.
But you made it clear that the most important thing for you
is what you came to do to Mejía.
Do you agree with it or do you need to change something?
It's perfect.
So, pick up the phone and call him.
Let's sign first.
This will be notarized today, right?
Yes, that's why the notary is here, dear.
Sir.
Everything in order?
Done.
Can you make the call now?
-See you later. Thank you. -Thank you, sir.
-Very well. -Can you call now?
See you later.
-See you later. -Dear, can you call now?
Mom! It's a miracle!
-I was just thinking about you. -Why?
Are you okay?
Yes. No. Well, I don't know.
I mean, I had a fight with Laura, but it's nothing serious. Don't worry.
Honey, I don't want you to be upset.
No, but now that I hear you, I feel better.
Why don't you come over for a few days? Take the opportunity to see us...
and distance yourself from this thing with Laura.
Did Dad ask you to do this? Really?
It's crystal clear.
He said he called you, and suggested you come, but you didn't want to.
Mom, I don't know what the hell is going on over there
and I don't even care, but he hasn't talked to me in two years,
and suddenly he calls out of nowhere. Can you believe it?
Yes, I can believe it.
But it hurts me to hear you say
that you don't care about what happens here.
However, I understand and respect it. I'll hang up.
I don't want to worry you with my nonsense.
Wait, Mom.
What's going on? What's wrong?
Things between your dad and me are very bad.
Your dad is very stressed...
The election is coming and people are attacking him.
Attacking him, why?
Because of some old statements he made about the gay community.
I understand everything. Sure.
He wants me to be his war horse.
He doesn't want to make amends with me. It's just...
Anyway...
Look, things between you ended very badly.
And you know that it hurts my heart.
Please, don't ask me to go, Mom.
Especially not right now. My life is a disaster.
I'm asking you because it's the only way
to finally have the family together, with my children close to me.
I miss you, sweetie.
I need you here.
I'm really feeling very lonely.
-What about my siblings? -It's not the same.
It's not the same. They are involved in their stuff...
You're closest to me.
My friend.
Mom...
you know that I'd die for you and I really miss you,
and, seriously,
I'm grateful because you've been the only one who's defended me,
but it's hard for me to come back.
I don't know.
Do it for me. And also for you to see that...
your dad has changed.
You don't have to lie to me.
I'm not lying to you.
Your father learned the hard way.
He is no longer that...
selfish...
and tyrannical man.
Now he spends more time with the family.
Sure, because he needs that image for the campaign.
Honey, you've always been the most generous of us all.
I'm just asking you to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Come for a few days...
and if you want, you can go back.
Okay.
I'm coming, but only to see you.
Thank you.
I'll wait for you here, then, sweetie.
I'm sending you a kiss.
Good!
I knew you could do it.
Good. We just need to organize things with the press,
so we'll prepare your remarks for your daughter's arrival.
We're doing great, huh? We're doing very well.
Hello, baby!
Pick up your things and leave now.
Mauricio, what is it?
I heard you talking to that woman, to your lawyer,
about Pablo's alleged abuse, right?
Which means that everything's a goddamn lie!
-Honey, wait. -You won't manipulate me anymore!
Don't manipulate me anymore, Carolina!
I want you out of my house,
out of my life and away from me forever. Now!
Honey, let me explain, okay?
Let me explain.
What don't you understand? Huh? What don't you understand?
I want you out of my house now.
Now.
We are with Mrs. Fabiola Contreras,
the family lawyer who represents
Mrs. Carolina Valencia of the De la Torre family,
in her famous case against her husband, Pablo de la Torre.
I want to thank you for the chance you've given me
to talk about my client
and the endless personal attacks she's received on social media.
But isn't your client doing the same thing
by accusing Mr. De la Torre?
I mean, isn't it unethical to start a scandal
without hard evidence?
Law is not determined by ethics.
The law is governed by current regulations.
Let me translate.
Ethics and law are not compatible.
But this will be determined by a judge
in a trial that,
we're sure we'll win.
Birds of a feather flock together.
What you gave Pablo didn't help.
Find the first guy that Carolina attacked.
Find out if he's willing to go on the website.
Let him file the lawsuit.
If he says yes, you'll upload it immediately.
Heli!
-Hello? -What did you tell my daughter?
Why are you turning her against me?
I have every right in the world to see her!
Of course you do, but she doesn't want to see you.
-That's the problem. -That's a lie!
That's a lie!
Tell her to open the door for me!
Carolina, calm down, please.
No, I won't.
I won't calm down because I'm trying to open the door,
and the key doesn't work!
Yes, because I changed the locks.
You can't just show up without prior notice.
We agreed to plan the schedules, but then you refused, Carolina.
No. Tell Heli to open the door.
I know she didn't go to school. Tell her to open it!
-Heli! -She's with my brother.
No wonder. He's the one who doesn't want me to see her.
Tell her to open the door now!
Carolina, calm down, please.
I just talked to them and they said the girl is scared.
-No. Heli! -Calm down, okay?
Give her some space and I promise I'll tell her to call you later.
Hello?
SOME DUDE IS TRASHING YOU ON A PRO-PABLO WEBSITE.
THE VOICE OF TRUTH PABLO DE LA TORRE DEFENDS HIMSELF
Heli!
Open the door!
Open up, honey!
Helena!
I'm Santiago Castiblanco
and I joined Mr. Guillermo León Mejía
in his public and political life, and today he's a presidential candidate.
I'm related to him not only by political ties,
but also family ties, since I'm his brother-in-law.
But I've also been the person who has carried out
all his dirty business.
It's no surprise that Santiago, who knows Mejía very well,
is taking precautions in case the guy betrays him.
Where's the evidence?
This testimony is the first piece.
No.
No, I want that killer to rot in jail.
This won't get me there.
Too bad there wasn't anything else in the storage unit or the apartment.
So what do you say?
Should we leave it where we found it or what?
No.
But Santiago will know someone got into his storage unit.
Exactly.
We'll make him paranoid.
But he'll suspect you,
because you said you could follow him too.
Yes. And that's why we'll use it.
We'll make Santiago believe that I discovered his betrayal.
Out of fear, he'll make a mistake and reveal to us where the evidence is.
What a brain on that one, eh?
Okay, sir,
here's a copy of the final report.
The numbers are false, so that your relatives won't...
have a problem with them.
Congratulations, Padrón. Very good.
I'll deliver the original report to your cousins.
No, it's not necessary. I'll do it.
Well, sir, then,
that's it. I think I've finished my work.
What a pain, huh?
I hope I don't see you again.
Excuse me, sir.
Padrón.
Give me back the card.
Yes.
You can go now.
Your wife had a syncope.
In other words, she fainted.
Do you know what caused that, Doctor?
Neurological or cardiac problems were ruled out.
She had an imbalance in her nervous system,
due to high levels of stress and anxiety.
Well...
Doctor, I'll be honest with you.
There's a high probability that she's faking it.
Aren't you exaggerating?
No.
According to the tests that we've done, there is no doubt
that she's experiencing a nervous breakdown
in which she's temporarily unable to function normally
in everyday life.
-"Experiencing," you say? -Yes.
-So she's still not okay? -If this kind of thing isn't treated
with the right drugs, her symptoms will continue.
What about pills?
For treatment, to cure her.
A psychiatrist would have to see her
to determine if she needs anti-anxiety meds,
or antidepressants. Also, she can't be alone
because loneliness worsens the symptoms.
-Okay, Doctor. Thank you. -My pleasure.
And what happened?
We had electrical damage, but it's been fixed.
-Well done. -Yes, sir.
-Thanks. -I'll leave you to it, Mr. Santiago.
Now you must think I'm crazy.
Why don't you go?
This is all your fault.
How so?
You told Camilo Méndez to say all those things about me.
-Who? -Don't lie to me.
You told him to write all those horrible things
on that website that's just meant to ruin me.
You hate me,
that's why you did it.
And that's why you won't let me see my daughter.
And that's why you have poisoned her mind against me.
I didn't do any of that, Carolina.
So who was it?
Mauricio?
Your mom?
Your brother?
Analía?
There's key info about the guy who suffered because Carolina
did to him what she's trying to do to you.
But with what I sent you, you can stop Carolina.
Everyone hates me.
Even my own daughter.
Helena doesn't hate you.
But you do, don't you?
-No. -Don't lie to me.
Don't feel compelled to be here.
I...
don't deserve your help.
And I don't want your pity either.
Look, the important thing here is that you recover. And soon.
Things will be resolved with Helena as soon as possible.
What if she can never forgive me?
Yes, she will. You know that she's kind and loves you.
It's only a matter of time.
Because when there's love, everything's possible.
Right?
I'll bring you something to eat.
THE VOICE OF TRUTH PABLO DE LA TORRE DEFENDS HIMSELF
Excuse me.
How are you doing?
What happened?
I had a nervous breakdown.
Really?
Of course.
This is wonderful.
We can use this, can't we?
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Sure. We can say that all this was caused by stress
produced by your ex, Pablo.
The calls and the accusations...
I don't want to do that.
I don't want to follow your advice.
But the only thing we've been trying to do,
Mr. Mejía and I, is to help you.
You don't understand anything.
You are confused, honey.
The only culprit here is your ex.
You don't understand.
Pablo has done nothing.
In fact, despite everything I've done,
he just came to see me.
Who are you?
How are you? Nice to meet you.
Fabiola Contreras,
Carolina's lawyer.
Sure, you're the one who advises her to tell lies about me.
No.
I only do what the client tells me.
And I'm telling her to leave and she doesn't want to.
Where did you find this woman?
Guillermo recommended her to me.
Forgive me, please.
-Look, Fabiola... -"Counselor".
It takes a little longer, but it sounds prettier.
Listen to me.
Give your boss a message, okay?
Tell him to stay away from me and my family.
Family?
As I understand it, she's your ex now.
She is my daughter's mom, so we'll always be family.
Was that clear enough for you? So, please go.
Honey,
you can count on me for anything, you hear?
Call me for whatever you need.
Don't cave in to his pressure.
I'll leave the empanadas there, honey, for you to eat.
Counselor...
Here. You need them even more.
We have to move forward with the domestic violence campaign.
Is Dorita ready to do it?
Yes. We're going to make a video to upload to social media.
You know, this abuse issue reminds me of Carolina.
Pablo's ex. Poor thing.
And why is that?
She's in the hospital. She had a nervous breakdown.
How did you hear about that?
Fabiola is her lawyer and she asked me to visit her.
Carolina is very upset about this fight with Pablo.
And Carolina's very strong.
So I imagine.
When is Alejandra arriving?
Tomorrow. I hope she speaks well of me.
Well, that's Rosario's job.
Which doesn't reassure me.
Come on.
If Rosario wants the divorce, she has to do her part.
I don't trust her or anyone else.
Except you.
Thank you for your trust.
You've earned it. No one else in my family has done that.
Don't worry.
We're going to make Rosario comply.
And when I do, I won't let her go.
Because nobody leaves me.
Especially after betraying me.
Thank you.
-How do you feel, ma'am? -Thank you.
Good, but I want to go now.
Your blood pressure looks normal now.
You shouldn't carry on with any more activities
that might cause you more stress, okay?
-I'll write a note to your employers. -No.
It's not necessary.
It's important that you follow the doctor's recommendations.
Yes, I know, but I've lost my job.
What? What happened?
With everything that has happened between us,
I wasn't going to the office and they fired me.
Do you have anyone that could keep you company
for a few days?
No.
But don't worry, I'll be fine.
Don't worry, we'll figure that out.
No, Pablo.
-I don't want to be a burden to you. -You're not a burden.
You'll stay in my house until you get better, okay?
I'll go process your discharge.
-Thank you. -Excuse me.
Thank you, Doctor.
Thank you for being good to me despite everything.
Here we are.
I'm afraid Helena will be upset when she sees me.
No, don't worry. I'll talk to her.
She will surely understand.
I found out what happened to Carolina and wanted to know how she's doing.
And also how you and Heli are doing.
I want you to know that, in my heart, I'm always with you.
I always will be.
-Where's the little one? -In the bathroom.
Okay.
What happened to Carolina?
-She's here. -My God.
She had a nervous breakdown.
What? Nervous breakdown? Why?
Because I didn't open the door? It's just a show.
It's something else, David. This is very serious. The doctor told me.
Listen, she...
She told me that she lost her job and...
there's no one to take care of her.
-She's manipulating you. -No, she isn't.
I can't leave her in this state. Do you understand?
-Do you feel bad or something? -No.
It's called compassion.
-She's my daughter's mother. -So?
That might be the case, but she won't give you a divorce
-and she won't give you the girl easily. -Let's calm down, David.
Look at me. Hey.
I need your support. Especially now.
Okay? Because If I'm right, this will end in the best way
with Carolina, which is all I want.
Trust me, okay?
Okay, now I'll beat you.
-Daddy, hi, how are you? -Honey!
How are you, pumpkin?
How are you, baby?
-Okay. -Yeah?
Honey, I have to tell you something about your mom.
What happened?
Hello, Mommy.
Honey.
I missed you so much.
Dad told me you were in the hospital.
Yes, honey.
A lot has happened to me lately, but...
just seeing you, I already feel much better.
Honey...
Mom's going to stay here until she gets better, okay?
Sweetie...
I want to apologize for everything I've done.
I...
I love you, and I don't want you to hate me.
I don't hate you, Mommy,
but I didn't like what you said about Dad.
Well, we can talk about that later.
Okay?
You take the bedroom.
-I'll stay in the studio. -No...
-Come on! -Really, it's okay.
You'll be more comfortable.
See you tomorrow.
Bye, baby. Good night.
You haven't stopped being the gentleman you've always been.
Thank you.
-Do you need anything else? -No.
Okay. Get some rest.
I found out what happened to Carolina and wanted to know how she's doing.
I want you to know that, in my heart, I'm always with you.
How long are you going to stay?
Just for today, honey.
But Dad told me you were going to stay for a while.
I don't want to abuse his generosity.
I know he won't have a problem with it.
Please, stay.
I'd love to stay here, but it's not up to me.
I don't even know if your dad will be able to forgive me.
Don't worry, I'll help you with him.
Pumpkin, shall we go?
If you want, I can take her.
Yes, it's fine. Don't worry.
Good. So, I'll pick you up after work, okay?
To go to your grandparents' house.
Are you coming too?
No, honey.
Better go without me.
Okay.
-See you. Bye. -Bye, Daddy.
-Good luck. -Thank you, sweetie.
-You too. -Bye.
Dorita!
Stop screaming. You're not at home.
My beautiful baby!
My adorable baby!
I missed you so much.
I really missed you too.
Why isn't he at school?
Because he had the day off.
You look very pretty.
Yeah? Do you like it? I didn't overdo it? Look.
-Is it okay? -Hey, why do you look so cute?
Was it because you knew I was coming?
Dorita starts recording today for the campaign against domestic violence.
The thing is...
Public speaking... I don't know how that'll turn out. You've been warned.
Once you start the motorcycle, there's no turning it off.
-What happened to Santiago? -No...
Starting today, we're messing with his head and...
Enough already!
There's our star.
Dorita, hello.
-How are you? -Very well.
So grateful for your collaboration on the issue
of domestic violence, which is so important to our campaign.
It's my pleasure. But I was saying to them that I'm embarrassed
because I'm not used to this, and it makes me nervous.
Of course.
I'll tell you a secret.
Imagine that the camera is someone you trust.
That always works for me.
Thanks. You have tricks. So slick.
Well, another little thing.
Don't forget to mention the Democratic Force
and the valuable opportunity we've given you to tell your story.
Alright?
-Yes. -Good.
-Yes. -Is here okay? Yes?
-Ready. -I'll watch.
-Sure. And I stay here? -Yes.
Over here. Look here. Good.
Let's center this. Perfect.
Look straight into the camera, okay?
Will you stand there and watch?
Yes, but don't worry. Breathe...
I'm Dora Mirella Serna
and I have been a victim
of psychological and physical abuse
by someone who was my partner...
Brother, that hag sold you out.
...for many years.
Mind your own business.
Lend me some money, I have to go do something.
-What? -What do you mean "what," you idiot?
How many favors have I done for you? Lend me some money.
...headed by Mr. Guillermo Mejía.
When will you pay me back?
-...because thanks to him... -Don't you have any more?
-No, that's it. -...and his team,
I was able to get the consultation
-and support... -See you later.
...I was needing.
Did you see Dorita with Mejía?
Yes.
There's chemistry there.
We have to take advantage of that.
Make the calls from here. Hello.
The video shoot went really well.
That Dorita is very natural on camera, no?
-Excellent choice. -Thank you very much.
Now we have to work with you
to decide what you'll say in front of the press with your daughter.
Let's talk at the club.
-I want to get out and clear my head. -Okay.
Forward calls to my cell phone.
Okay.
Where did you get the idea to record a video against Guillermo?
-For God's sake! -From you.
You told me that you were bored, that you wanted a divorce,
that you couldn't stand Guillermo,
that I couldn't be such an idiot, that you had no evidence against him...
I got the idea from you!
Let's try to think carefully.
Does anyone else know about all this, what you're doing?
No.
But let me tell you,
the person who did this
knew exactly where to look.
Who?
I don't know.
You know Guillermo doesn't have any friends.
No, he's the best at racking up enemies.
And that makes me an easy target.
I'm...
Now, if the plan is to start looking for people's secrets,
I can also look for yours.
Go ahead, because I have nothing to hide.
I see you're nervous.
Should I start looking?
Because I have the means to do it.
And, unlike what's happening,
you wouldn't even notice when or who's following you.
Santiago, please tell me what's going on.
Rosario...
someone's been following me for a while now.
I've noticed that.
And I'm sure that my life...
is in danger.
Are you saying that in that recording you talk about illegal things
that Guillermo has done, but the evidence is elsewhere?
Fortunately. Those papers are my life insurance.
Where did you put them?
What? Don't you trust me?
Of course I trust you.
You're the only person in the world that I trust.
But I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you because of me,
because of those papers.
Time for hypocrisy.
Mr. Pérez!
Gentlemen.
Ex-senator.
Ex-senator among a dozen public jobs.
Your adviser Pablo here knows them all.
Guillermo, did this lawyer friend of yours send you a message from me?
Well...
What you have to tell me, you can say it to my face.
Stay away from me and my family.
And I know it's difficult for you,
but try to take on someone of your own size and dignity.
Excuse me. We really have things to do.
Of course. It must be very difficult to deal with the press
and with the LGBT community after...
the drastic statements made by Mr. Mejía.
But you know that, when you have a consultant like Analía,
everything rolls off your back.
And everything eventually works out.
I'll remember that.
Nice to see you, Pérez! A pleasure.
The pleasure is all mine, Mejía.
Well, let's get into it.
You'll have to excuse me. I have to take this call.
It's the director of the national news.
Sorry.
What juices do you have?
Fruit juice...
Give me two passion fruit juices, please.
Could Santiago have already told Rosario where the files are hidden?
-Shall we make him sing? -No.
No. Don't do that. Don't.
We'll talk later.
Hello.
Did you publish that stuff about Carolina's former co-worker?
I was tempted, but no.
It wasn't me.
He did it of his own free will.
Probably because he identified with what Carolina is doing to you.
Sure.
-I want to ask you something else. -Ask me or accuse me?
Forgive me.
Haven't you noticed how many things Carolina is being told?
Some call that "karma".
You know?
-You get what you give. -I don't believe in that.
I believe that it's possible to make mistakes and genuinely repent.
I also believe in forgiveness, you know?
Some things can be forgiven. Others can't.
The website where people claim they've been slandered.
Did you have anything to do with it?
Yes. I did it to help you.
Do you have anything to do with Fabiola Contreras,
Carolina's lawyer? I know that she works for Guillermo.
-How can you say that? -Oh, come on.
Isn't that part of your plan?
Help Guillermo rise in the polls
while using the scandal involving me
to affect Pérez's campaign?
I'd never do anything that might harm you in order to achieve what I need.
I don't know about that.
You said that the most important thing was to take revenge on this man.
You're affecting the people around you and you haven't noticed.
What happened to Juan Mario?
Come here. Listen to me.
Stop it already. It's not worth it.
I won't stop until I destroy Guillermo.
And there's no turning back.
-Sweetie, please, don't go like this. -What do you want, Mom?
For me to stay so he can insult and hurt me?
I just can't stand it. I can't. I don't know how you do it.
