A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mommy!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
How are you?
Fine, how about you?
Come in.
I wanted to see you.
I've missed you so much.
Me too.
Voicemail system.
Your call will be charged...
Good afternoon.
I'm looking for Pablo de la Torre,
but if he's in a meeting, don't interrupt them.
Good afternoon. He's not here.
Really?
Do you know where I can find him? I'm Carolina, his wife.
No, ma'am. Do you want to leave a message?
No, don't worry.
I need to discuss something regarding my daughter.
He left two hours ago
and he said that he won't return until tomorrow.
Thank you.
I fell deeply in love with a great woman.
She's smart, very capable,
very special, and that person is Miss Guerrero.
Voicemail system.
Your call will be charged...
Why are you looking at me like that?
Because you're a wonderful woman. I admire you.
And I like you.
You may not have work, but I have a lot of things to do.
I also have to go to the headquarters.
Why do you say it like that?
I thought you were happy to be working with Pérez.
I am, but Pablo annoys me, you know?
He's not my favorite person these days
because of what he's done to my brother, but you should adore him.
Since Pablo has joined the campaign, Pérez has risen in the polls.
Yes, that Pablo...
It's because of Analía, okay?
We are adults. We can speak frankly.
-It's... -Yes.
Did you guys ever have anything...
Yes, we did...
a while ago.
Apparently, it affected you.
No, not at all.
Don't deny it. Analía's a very special woman,
and not just because of her beauty.
You're also a very special woman and you're beautiful. So what?
What's the connection? Why are we talking about her?
What the heck?
Why don't you tell me about Analía?
Are you serious? Are you being a jealous teenager? Why?
I'm intrigued. When she worked for my husband,
we didn't get to know her at all. She has no family.
She said she didn't have partner. Now I find out she's been with you.
Tell me about the mysterious Analía.
It's strange,
Pablo asked me the same thing.
We started talking and, to be honest, when I was with her, I never wondered
if she was with someone else or not, if she had a family.
It was much more practical.
-Don't you think it's weird? -Yes, it is.
It's weird...
It's your husband. Answer it.
No, it's not him,
but I have to go.
-And when will we see each other again? -I'll call you.
Hey, wait. Don't go yet.
Stay a few more minutes.
Buddy?
Hey, buddy!
Hi, how are you? Do me a solid. Do you want to earn extra cash?
What would I have to do?
A simple thing. Let me show you.
Come here.
I need you to pay attention to this grave, Darelis Junca.
If you see someone visiting or bringing flowers,
you'll give that person this card,
and tell them to contact me. That's it. In exchange for that,
I'll give you 200 bucks.
Tell that person to contact me
and you also call me to be sure.
It's done, no problem.
Thank you very much.
Great. Thanks.
I'm sorry, Auntie. Have you been waiting a long time?
-Yes. -That damn traffic...
What happened to your face?
A tennis ball.
I guess you know why I asked you to come.
No.
Don't you think that what Santiago did with the construction company is an issue?
Forgive me, but that's not a problem that concerns me.
How can you say that, Rosario? We're family,
and Santiago stole from us.
No, wait a minute. That's what Pablo said in the interview,
but I haven't talked to Santiago about it, I haven't heard his side of the story.
So he doesn't talk to you about it either.
He hasn't called me.
And when I call him, it goes straight to voicemail.
The least he can do
is call me and give me his side of the story, like you said.
Fortunately, Manuel José isn't alive to witness this.
How can you say that?
There's no evidence.
God!
Pablo wouldn't have accused him if he didn't have something solid.
This really is very sad, you know?
That's why I asked you to come.
Even if you have nothing to do with this,
-I hope... -Of course not.
But you're still with Guillermo
and you're still by Santiago's side. Don't deny it.
Here you are, knowing that there's evidence against him,
and you're still defending him.
They've been following me for a while now. I've noticed that.
And I'm sure my life...
is in danger.
Are you saying that in that recording you talk about illegal stuff Guillermo did
but the evidence is elsewhere?
Fortunately, because those papers are my life insurance.
Where did you put them?
What is it? Don't you trust me?
Of course I trust you. You're the only one in the world I trust.
But don't insist. I won't tell you.
I wouldn't forgive myself
if something happened to you because of me,
because of those damned papers.
I think this family relationship is over, Rosario.
Are you blaming me for things I haven't done,
if they even happened at all? On Pablo's word?
Do you think you have nothing to do with it?
You brought Guillermo into our lives.
And don't ask me why,
but I'm sure he has something to do with what Santiago did.
I just hope I don't find out that you too are involved in all this.
I don't want to start controversy or inconvenience the party,
but that won't stop me from noticing that, as things are,
we can lose the elections.
So we have to work in coordination with the press.
I got you an interview with Mendigaña on that morning show.
We don't like each other, Mariano.
He's the most prestigious broadcast journalist
with the biggest audience.
So the best thing for you would be to show up
and take the opportunity to tell the country
that Pablo lied to damage your campaign.
And another thing.
How come your former political strategist is now your enemy
and saying awful things on the radio?
How do you want me to control her? It's impossible.
Give it a try. Right now, another scandal
is the last thing we need, Guillermo. You know that very well.
And you also know what's at stake.
Have a good day.
Your biggest mistake is that you feel like a winner.
Like when the Carolina thing happened, you used it against me.
You used that...
to hurt me, but remember...
who came out stronger from that.
The big difference is...
you no longer have Analía to tell you what to do.
Without her, you're lost. It shows.
I'm worried about what Guillermo will do
-now that he considers you his enemy. -No.
I'm prepared to face everything. Also, I have a team that supports me.
-Don't worry about it. -Please!
As long as you're still at war with him, I'll feel uneasy.
I won't be at peace.
Santiago has all the evidence I need to destroy Mejía.
In fact, he recorded a testimony against him and he has hidden documents.
Why would he give you that?
He might feel cornered, in danger,
abandoned by Mejía.
So you're thinking about my lawsuit against Santiago.
Yes.
I need you to get Santiago locked up,
and when that happens, I'll show up
and offer to help him in exchange for him destroying Mejía,
who, obviously, by then, will have abandoned him.
Is that why you came here?
To make me part of your plans?
-Is that right? -What's wrong with that?
Didn't you say you wanted your cousin and Mejía
-to pay for what they did? -Sure,
-but legally, and you know that. -Come on, Pablo, get real.
The legal way isn't fast enough.
And you know Mejía will fix it in his favor.
What do you propose, then?
To use Ramiro's political contacts.
That way, Mejía won't block the case against Santiago.
Also, that you lean on me.
I have information about Mejía's campaign.
Stop, no, you're not working on Mejía's campaign.
I'm not, but Dorita is. She's our plant there.
-She's spying on him. -Who?
-Dorita. -I don't know who that is.
My friend from when...
Remember that I told you that Carrasco wasn't brave enough to kill me
and took me to a place where they made me work on the street?
Dorita.
Is she Ana Lucía, the new girl?
You're even prettier than Toto described.
Shut up, I didn't say that. Don't be a snitch.
Just look at her. She looks like a frog.
Welcome, I know that all this looks ugly,
but if you follow the rules, it's not that bad.
What rules?
Those of the Grimes.
Here, a little flower.
You can give it to your mom, your grandma, your aunt, your cousin.
Nice to meet you, Ana Lucía.
How dumb of you. Did you think I wasn't going to notice?
Don't be sad, we'll help you out. Right, Toto?
I'm sorry about what happened to you.
No, don't be.
That made me strong, and that's why I'm here.
Her name is Dorita, right?
Is she your friend?
Aren't you afraid something might happen to her?
She offered to help me and she knows that she has to be careful.
But the only thing that matters here...
is the information I have to give you.
-If you want to destroy Mejía... -I don't want information about anything
because I won't do now what I said I didn't do
when this guy accused us of political espionage. It makes no sense.
-We're trying to bring him down. -I don't care!
-Okay. -I don't care.
I won't play dirty and you know that.
I wish honesty could put an end to a murderer, but that won't happen.
You don't know that,
because you're speaking from a place of hatred.
No, it's coming from my knowledge of him,
and you're naive if you think that you can beat him
-if you don't play the same game. -Okay, so I'm naive.
I'm naive,
but I'll do things my way, and if I lose, it'll be on my own terms,
but I'd never become Mejía in order to beat him.
-What now? -I don't know, wait.
Carolina.
-Hello? -I'm sorry for calling so many times,
but you know that if it wasn't about our daughter, I wouldn't have.
What happened to her?
The sugar level again.
I'm on my way, okay?
Is everything okay?
No, Heli's sick.
I have to go.
I'm sorry.
If you want, we can talk later.
No. It makes no sense to keep talking about Guillermo.
I wasn't talking about that, I meant Heli.
I hope it's nothing serious.
What happened? What did they say?
Nothing good.
Since I'm not family, they won't give her to me.
-I told you. I have to go! -Hey!
It couldn't be done. Be patient!
Patience?
Wait for your mother to be killed before you say that!
Hey! I did everything I could, okay?
The medical examiner's office told me that they'll wait a few days,
but after that...
they'll bury your mom with the other people that nobody claimed.
Calm down, calm down.
I'll talk to some people I know to see if I can get the body.
Okay?
One hundred and fifty.
Good, it's normal now, honey.
-I have a little headache. -My baby...
We're going to the hospital now, okay?
I spoke to Heli's doctor and he's waiting for us.
Sounds good to me.
But, Mom!
Honey, this is the second time this has happened to you for no reason.
Listen to Mom, honey. Get dressed and get ready.
Get your coat and let's go, okay? I'll drink some water and we'll leave.
-Go ahead. -I'll be right back.
Yes, your daughter is definitely ingesting something...
that's triggering these symptoms.
But we don't know what that could be, Doctor.
Helena knows perfectly well that she cannot consume
certain foods that harm her.
I don't know. Maybe we missed something, or she didn't tell us something.
It's very difficult for children to handle the temptation, right?
Yes, I know that,
but Helena insists that she hasn't taken anything strange
or something she shouldn't have taken, okay?
-According to her. -Exactly.
Anyway, we can rest assured on this
because we already did some more specialized exams
and with that, we'll finally know what our Heli has.
So there's nothing to worry about. We can relax, okay?
Thank you, Doctor.
So, Mr. Mejía, let's go through this once more.
You disagree with the lawsuit filed by Mr. Pablo de la Torre
against your political advisor,
Santiago Castiblanco?
Of course, Simón.
Mr. De la Torre had a very easy time sowing those doubts
because he's the owner of the construction company.
So if the evidence is false,
this man would be liable for fraud.
Is that what you're telling me, Mr. Mejía?
I have no idea
what evidence Mr. De la Torre has, but let me tell you something.
If that's true, I assure you
I'll be the first person to purge my campaign
of any member who has committed
or is committing a crime.
Now, it seems to me that this circus in the media
is no more than a smokescreen to divert information.
What do you mean?
Simón, look.
It's no secret that the most capable person
to be the president of this country is me.
And Mr. Pérez's campaign has always wanted to hurt my image.
-Regarding that... -God...
...Mr. Mejía, I wanted to ask you...
Don't you have a case against your former advisor
for infiltration and espionage in your campaign?
Listen to me, Simón.
You can be sure Miss Analía Guerrero
will have to answer to the law for that,
as well as pay a fine for breaching the terms of the contract.
But honestly, I don't want to talk about that issue,
which is now in the hands of the authorities.
I want to invite Mr. Pérez
to really focus on our government programs
and so the people, our voters,
can get to know these programs
and know whom to choose to run the country.
Any specific proposal, Mr. Mejía?
The floor is yours.
Yes, of course.
Of course, and thank you so much for this opportunity.
Look,
I want to challenge Mr. Pérez
to a proper debate.
In a public square, in front of our voters,
open to all,
without discriminating against anyone.
Not only that, I'd do it right now,
while we have the lines open.
Okay, great.
We have Mr. Ramiro Pérez on the line,
the candidate from Union and Renewal.
Good morning, Mr. Pérez.
Hi, Simón, how are you?
We accept Mr. Mejía's challenge.
We'd be happy to debate on our ideas in the public square.
Mr. Mejía
can pick the place. We'll be there.
I'm planning on giving a speech in Cartagena this weekend.
Cartagena? That's where you're most popular.
Well, it doesn't have to be
Cartagena in particular, Mr. Pérez. In fact, I propose
that you choose the town or municipality
for you to present your ideas. I have no problem.
What if we make this private and then communicate it to the country?
Mr. Pérez, I repeat, I have no problem.
What I really want is for people to know that I'm an open book,
to make these elections a true exercise of democracy.
Sounds great to me. It's settled, then.
See you later and greetings to all your listeners.
Now we have to think about which square we'll choose,
because if we don't, we'll fall into Mejía's trap.
And we need to find a place where his campaign is in question.
I'll look into it.
-Help him with that. -Yes.
Mark, please.
I don't want any more confrontations between the two of you.
I need you more united than ever. Do you understand?
-Okay. -Okay.
Congratulations, son, it's very pretty.
Thank you, Mom. Sit down, please.
Thank you.
Luz, thanks.
-Is it without sugar? -Yes, without sugar.
-Thank you. -Yes, ma'am.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
Tell me, how's our little girl?
Good, for now, Mom,
but the lab results are back.
-And? -And... Look, here it is.
They found a rare substance.
Sorbitol at three percent.
I asked the doctor and he tells me that this is a type of sugar
that's present in some medications, especially cough syrups.
It's weird, Mom, because Helena doesn't drink anything
without us checking the ingredients.
Oh God... Are you looking for something?
Look, I found this cough syrup.
Is the girl sick? I haven't heard her cough.
No, it's for me.
What do you need?
-This needs a little bit of sugar. -Go, I'll bring it to you.
Okay.
Son, I found cough syrup in your house.
Carolina told me it was for her.
What do you mean, Mom?
That's what she told me.
-Hello, Caro. -Hello.
Honey, how are you?
-Better. -Are you sure?
-Get ready, we'll go to the doctor. -No, it's not necessary.
We measured it again and look...
I managed to normalize it.
Seriously, I feel better now.
Let's see.
Please don't take me to the clinic.
They pricked her all day long.
Why don't we wait for the results to know exactly what she has?
It can't be.
Come live with us, Mom.
Okay?
I'll sell that house, I'll rent it, whatever. Let's go to a bigger place.
But, honey...
There's the 100th street apartment. You know it's really big.
So you agree?
Yes, honey.
The truth is,
I didn't want to say anything, I know you have a lot on your plate...
but that house feels so big and so lonely without your dad.
I know, Mom.
Then it's settled.
We'll live together, but I'll ask you a very specific favor.
I need you to keep an eye on Helena and everything that's happening with her.
Okay?
Of course, son.
I'll help you with whatever you want.
-And I'll do it with plenty of love. -I know.
I know, Mom, thanks.
Thank you.
It definitely wasn't Memo who put a tail on me.
And he doesn't have the CD with the testimony against him.
-Then who took it from the storage unit? -I don't know,
but I saw a video with that guy from La Herradura, Toto.
And did you see him entering your storage unit?
Not exactly my unit, but what's strange
is that he was in the same facility on the same day
and at the same time they robbed me, but...
It's very strange. Analía took him to headquarters.
Do you think she has it?
-I don't know. -My God, Santiago. We have to know.
Pablo accused you of robbery
and Analía exposed Guillermo's dirty laundry.
This can get very ugly for you.
Come on, don't be like that.
What? This is a disaster. What about you and that lawsuit?
What about it?
Pablo has nothing concrete against me.
I talked to Aunt Eugenia and she believes the accusations.
What's more, she's cut all ties with us.
Rosario, they can accuse us all day long,
because they have nothing concrete against us.
Were you involved in that robbery?
How can you say that?
Pablo and David weren't careful enough.
They neglected the company and obviously left a gap
and someone can cover it up or steal what they want.
It was a poor administration.
Now they want to put the blame on me, to make me a target, but I won't allow it.
I had nothing to do with it.
Okay.
No, this isn't the way to do it.
What's up? You got my money or what?
Hello, boss.
The truth is that it failed.
"The truth is that it failed"? Did you get hit in the head or what?
No, boss, let me explain.
You know how I am with the ladies.
She's pregnant. She has no money now,
-but she'll pay at the end of the month. -What?
Are you in love or what, Colocho? Are you in love?
Are you stupid now?
Boss, if you want, I'll go back and...
So they can bullshit you again?
No, you won't leave merchandise without payment again, you hear?
Never again!
Come with me, I'll show you how to treat women.
-Move! -Okay, boss.
Move, Colocho!
You're soft, brother!
-No, the woman's saying... -That woman...
-And what now? -No, boss.
Did she become a nun or what?
What's this? Move.
-Okay. -Hey, Bebeco!
Move! I'm going with you because this guy didn't bring me anything.
-Alright? -Colocho, yes.
I'll tell you where we are going.
Colocho, you didn't believe it, right?
Everything's okay.
What is it? Move, hurry up!
Wait!
If someone asks if you've seen someone around here, you'll...
Is that clear?
Keep quiet.
You look prettier when you're quiet, lady.
Sir,
this confirms your suspicions.
This is what I have.
And another thing,
these two were the ones who took Fabiola.
Analía always seemed difficult to decipher, sir.
Ready for your orders, sir.
Kidnap Toto.
We need to know who Analía's working for.
Why not go directly to Analía and Fabiola, sir?
Analía was my strategist.
I can't attack her like that, especially now that she publicly...
confronted me.
And the other one?
That one's different.
Let's wait until she feels safer.
We'll see if we can find any copies of what you found.
With Toto it's different.
That one has a criminal record
and nobody will miss him if he disappears.
When you have him, let me know.
Clarita! Do you have a couple of brewskies?
Coming right up. Mr. Toto, something serious happened.
Don't tell me that these beers are free
because that'd be a serious problem for you.
No, how could I? The woman who's living there,
left as soon as you left.
And you're telling me now?
I didn't have minutes left on my phone.
-No. Now it's my fault? -Mr. Toto, I didn't have minutes left.
Toto!
-Toto! -I'll be right back!
Excuse me, miss.
A man told me that if I saw someone visiting that grave,
I had to give them this card.
And please call him.
Excuse me.
JUAN MARIO MEJÍA FINANCIAL ANALYST
My dear Paco, I won't take much of your time.
I know things in Mexico City are not easy and the work of Mayor Arriaga
is exemplary and it doesn't stop.
I wanted to ask you a little question.
Sure, go ahead. Tell me. You have all the time you need.
I wanted to know why Analía Guerrero did not continue working
for your party, if her strategy
and her work was what put Arriaga
in the mayor's office, right?
I even know that he himself praised her in a very kind way.
The proposal was made directly by Mr. Arriaga.
What happened is that Ms. Guerrero said that she was very clear
that she had to go to work in Colombia.
Did she say what she was going to be working on?
She said she'd been committed to that position for a long time,
so I suppose that Mr. Mejía had been after her for a long time.
I understand.
Okay, thank you very much for your time.
I appreciate this.
No, don't worry. At your service.
What happened, boss? Did you find her?
-Hello. -Hello, we got a problem.
Fabiola has disappeared.
Toto, I told you to watch her!
Yes, but I had to go out for a ride.
How was I supposed to know that she'd get away?
She knows that they'll kill her.
She was upset about what happened with her mom. She wanted to claim the body.
I'm here at the medical examiner's office and she's been here,
but now she's gone. I just called the store and she's not there.
Well, I don't know. Mobilize your people,
but the Engineer cannot find her.
Yes, we're on our way. We're gone.
I love that you invited me for lunch.
That Heli is with you.
I really invited you, Carolina, because...
Helena's test results came back...
and there's something there that worries me.
Maybe you can help me understand.
Sure.
Sure, tell me.
Did you ever give Helena cough syrup?
Yes, I saw her cough and...
I was very distressed that she was coughing, so...
Well, I gave her a spoonful. Why?
Carolina, some syrups have sugar.
I don't understand how you could miss that.
And I asked you many times if you'd given her something different and you said no.
Pablo, I'm sorry.
No...
I don't know how I missed that.
I'm sorry. I'm the worst mom in the world.
I swear, I don't get it. I...
I'm the worst mom in the world. Helena will never forgive me for this.
Enough.
People who experience this, which is known as a nervous breakdown,
feel ashamed for not being able to control their emotions.
This prevents them for getting help and the problem becomes worse.
Also, the lady cannot be alone.
The family plays an important role in this process.
And that's a problem, Doctor,
because Carolina only has me and our 12-year-old daughter.
Then it would be important to find a friend who can watch her,
because loneliness aggravates the symptoms.
-Look, I'm sorry, this... -Okay.
It won't happen again, I promise.
You've always been aware of all the girl's medications, no...
-I don't know what happened. -That's okay, Caro.
Calm down.
-Calm down. Enough. -Forgive me.
I won't say anything to Helena, okay?
But listen to me well.
Don't ever give Helena anything without my consent.
-No. -Or without the doctor's.
-No, I won't... -Is that clear?
I promise you... Trust me. I promise. I...
I don't know how that happened.
Okay. And to help you, my mom will be staying with us.
-Your mom? -Yes.
We'll move into her apartment.
That house is now too big for her alone,
and I believe it's the most convenient thing.
-Okay? -Sure.
Sure. Helena and your mom have a beautiful relationship.
An extra hand is always welcome.
Analía had a plan before coming to Colombia,
and that's been made clear from your call with Santa.
And that plan has to do with infiltrating my campaign.
Memo, she had the Mexicans convinced that you'd already hired her.
I'll ask you a question, and I hope you won't get offended.
Analía and you...
Did something happen?
-You know... -No, Santiago.
I was never interested in her in that way, and she wasn't either.
She had no problem
confronting me and becoming my enemy.
Well, at least it's clear
that she's not afraid of you, and she feels protected by someone.
By whom?
Which of my enemies does she work for? Who trained her? Because...
everything she did from the beginning...
I'm impressed with your credentials.
How come I've never seen you before?
I was busy helping a candidate get elected in Mexico City.
But...
you're very lucky, because I'm now free
to put you in the Presidential House.
There will be changes in La Herradura.
And those changes will happen, thanks to you.
Mejía!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
You go directly to Sofia's kidnappers.
No, I won't allow it! I disagree!
I can do everything within a day without a problem.
We tell the country and the media what's going on with your daughter,
and I'll take care of flooding social media with her photos.
You know that I'm also with you unconditionally.
So if you need anything, call me.
-No one can let their guard down. -No.
-They won't break us. -No.
-None of us. -None of us.
Thank you.
She deceived me in that way, she pretended she was my ally,
and then she stabbed me in the back.
It was all premeditated.
She deceived me!
Me!
I can't go through this again, Santiago.
I need to know all about her, who gives her orders.
I want to know who wants to destroy me.
Because she is just a pawn.
But one of the most skilled ones, because she completely fooled you, Memo.
Subtitle translation by: Damián Lighterman e completely fooled you, Memo.
