"ONE DOES NOT BECOME ENLIGHTENED BY IMAGINING FIGURES OF LIGHT
BUT BY MAKING THE DARKNESS CONSCIOUS" CARL JUNG
Here we are, I told you you were gonna get yourself in trouble.
- [exhales] - [rhythmic music playing over radio]
Hey.
Calm down. Relax, man. I'm gonna be all right, don't worry.
Don't you think the psychopath trying to kill Mrs. Hidalgo
knows you're helping her now?
[exhales] You'd have to be fucking crazy to send a threat like that to a cop, dude!
And not just to any cop, but to you, brother. [exhales]
They're all bark and no bite.
Don't worry. Let them come for me if they want.
You know I'm not scared of anyone.
The problem is that you're up against a coward
who doesn't show his face, brother, but he has power.
He has power, and that could screw you up.
[intriguing music playing]
[cell phone vibrating]
- Hello? - [woman] Is this Mrs. Bárbara Hidalgo?
- Yes, speaking. - We're calling you from Litoral Hospital.
It's about Mr. Gabriel Chafir.
He had an accident and gave us your number.
What? But is he all right?
What happened?
He had a car accident. Fortunately, it wasn't serious.
[tense music playing]
Put him in the best room you have. I'll cover the costs. I'm on my way.
[cell phone vibrates]
SOMEONE ATTACKED GABRIEL I'M GOING TO THE HOSPITAL
Is that her texting?
Hmm.
Can you help me find out who sent that crap?
But keep it between us, no one else should know.
Mm-hmm.
And when you leave the house, trash this. I don't want to see it around.
Also, can you take Bandolera for a walk, so she can pee?
[scoffs] All right, bro. Should I give her a bath as well?
Oh yeah, brother, what a great idea!
Sure, the godfather should take the dog out
and give her a nice bath.
[chuckles]
[unsettling music playing]
[Bárbara] I've had a shitty day.
Tatiana showed up at my house and caused a scene that got out of hand.
Then I kicked Esteban out of the house.
And Maya heard everything.
That's it. The asshole left?
Wow. This is what you need.
And now this.
[cardiac monitor beeping]
The police told the doctors that someone cut the brakes on his car.
[intriguing music playing]
That can't be a coincidence.
If they tried to take out Gabriel, the next one could be you.
[clicks tongue] Nah.
Or Maya!
If they had wanted to hurt her, they'd have done it already.
- But they won't do anything. - How are you so sure? We don't know.
Your dad won't let anything happen to her. And trust me, I won't either. Don't worry.
Mm?
I would just die if anything happens to her.
Nothing will happen.
Nothing, I promise you.
Mm?
Relax.
You should be careful.
I've trained enough to deal with those motherfuckers, remember?
So don't worry.

[Esteban] Tatiana, open the door. Come on, grow up!

I know you're inside, Tatiana, listen up.
I need you to listen to me. What you did wasn't okay.
I'm not here to fight. Open the door so we can talk.
- [doorbell keeps buzzing] - [knocking on door]
[Esteban] Tatiana, open the door.
[doorbell buzzing continuously]
Don't be stubborn, open up, dammit. Tatiana!
[knocking on door]
["Si Tu Amor No Vuelve" continues to play]
I'm sorry, Mr. Arco. But I must ask you to leave.
Tatiana. Yeah, yeah, wait. She'll let me in.
Miss Mendieta contacted me to let you know that you can't come in.
And the neighbors are upset. They say they want to call the police.
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
- Please. - Thank you.

Mm…
I'm on my way.
[car engine starts]
[Giraldo] What is it that you didn't understand
when I told you that you were off Mrs. Hidalgo's case?
Why did you request protection for her home
and then later ask for a unit to protect her at the hospital?
- They saw you with her. - Yes sure, well the thing is…
I just came across Mrs. Hidalgo by pure coincidence.
She was there, alone and vulnerable, and, well, I did what…
what anyone in my position would have done.
- Know what I mean? - So nice of you, so cooperative. Ah?
The best collaboration you can bring to this case is to stay out of it.
This is my final warning to you, Carmelo.
Don't take me for a fool.
- No, no. - Got it?
Yes, sir.

GABRIEL WAS DISCHARGED, LET'S MEET THERE I'LL GIVE YOU THE ADDRESS
[music intensifies, fades]
Thank you, I'm so embarrassed.
I'm so glad that you're feeling better and that you're back home.
[exhales] Mrs. Hidalgo, thank you for what you're doing for me.
I mean, I'd have liked to give you the information more quickly, but…
What information?
Well, I intended to tell you
that I already decrypted one of the files, and…
and there seems to be a new suspect.
[tense music playing]
[Bárbara] Úrsula?
[Damián] Úrsula, we're going to be late!
I'm coming, Dami. I'm coming!
- What are you doing? - Aah, I'm getting ready.
Here.
[Bárbara] Was Úrsula switching my dad's meds?
[Úrsula] Your medication.
[keyboard clicks]
No fucking way.
Your stepmom may well be the person we've been looking for.
There's no further information about her in the files. It looks like…
like, he just stopped pressuring her.
[intriguing music plays]
- [Damián] Úrsula, we're going to be late! - [Úrsula] I'm coming, Dami. I'm coming.
- Why haven't you shown it to your dad? - What would I achieve with that?
If you vote for me and I win,
I'll be sure you get a generous percentage of the new mushroom line.
Do you think I need money? Come on.
No! [chuckles]
I know you need power, and I can offer it to you.
[intriguing music resumes]
Úrsula.
We'll witness a new era, and you'd better be on my side.
This alliance may be the only opportunity
that'll allow Viviana to possibly become the CEO of Medusa.
Because as long as my dad is in charge, you know that will never happen.
Cheers.
[intriguing music continues]
Cheers.
- To our future. - [chuckles]
Bring another bottle, please.
[music peaks, fades]
Seems like I had a deal with her.
How's that?
Ah, so that rules her out as a suspect now?
[Danger] Or she has the best alibi
so that we don't suspect that she was behind the explosion.
Let's see, regarding Gabriel's attack…
the person who did it
would have to have known that he's helping you.
Well, Cristian.
I mean, he's the only person who knows that I got close to Bárbara
because he asked me to do so.
[tense music plays]
And he ended up with the presidency. He could have made an alliance with her.
[Gabriel] He also asked me to delete the research
that Mrs Hidalgo did on the mushrooms about The Guide.
Just when I told them that the killer was among the family, this happens.
- [sighs] Now what's our next step? - [Bárbara] No, you step down.
[Danger] Mm-hmm.
I don't want you to get into any more trouble.
- Don't worry, Mrs. Hidalgo, I'm helping… - No…
No, no, no, don't worry. You focus on recovering.
And leave the rest to us to handle it, don't worry.
Listen, we need to narrow down the list of all possible suspects.
Esteban, Cristian, and Úrsula are on the list.
We have to make them believe that you want to take back the presidency.
But for that, we're gonna need someone close to your family…
[inhales] …who's on our side.
[tense music rising]
Esteban.
[sinister sting]
[man] That's all I have from the day they ordered the wreath.
That kid came in, paid for the wreath, I gave it to him and that was it.
That was all.
- And the receipt, man? - Come on, what do you mean?
What do you think? This isn't Zurich!
What I do is I just keep a record of the sales I make. Here it is.
And is this the only camera you've got?
Aren't the cameras over there for surveillance
or from the police, more cameras?
None, man.
They installed one there once, but it was taken down the following day.
And that kid over there, have you seen him around here before?
I mean, these brats all look alike. Just poor and dirty.
All right, you're not helping. Whatever, man. Let's go!
Hey!
Wait, wait, wait. Let me try to persuade you a little.
Here.
And next time, brother, get all the information, right? Take it.
But that incentive is not gonna get you lots of data.
Hey, but what's your problem, bro? What, you upset now?
Bastard!
We should ask around the neighborhood if they've ever seen that kid.
This guy's unbelievable!
[Bárbara over phone] Danger, I have an idea.
The best way to keep Esteban close is to attack him with what he fears the most.
I'm on my way to Medusa.
[Danger] Okay, my Goddess. Please be careful.
[intriguing music playing]
[music fades]
[Bárbara] I need to talk to you.
I want a divorce.
I don't want to do this anymore.
Bárbara.
[Esteban] Come on.
Think of Maya.
Our baby will be devastated when she finds out we're splitting up…
Why didn't you think of that before falling in love with your mistress?
[dramatic music playing]
Why?
I did what you wanted, Bárbara.
That's all.
It's over with that girl.
Listen,
I don't love her. There's nothing between us.
Come on, you have to believe me.
[Tatiana] Seriously, I can't believe it.
So after everything we've been through, I'm the one to blame.
[intriguing music playing]
You used me, Esteban.
Oh no, that's not the case.
That's why I'm here now.
But showing up at my house and making a scene like that in front of everyone,
is the worst thing you could've done here.
- Because I can't protect you anymore. - I'm not asking for your protection.
[Bárbara] Do you really know the woman you got involved with?
Before the accident,
I found out Tatiana had stolen from Medusa.
[intriguing music intensifies]
- What do you mean? What the-- Wait. - You don't get it?
She was using you to steal money from us. And now is that clear enough?
Of course, that fucking bitch!
[music turns tense]
Of course, she's been doing it to me from the beginning!
She's been stealing from the beginning.
That's why she seduced me from the start!
Come back with proper evidence and tell her she's fired.
[Esteban] They fired you.
I couldn't do anything, honey.
I swear to God, I did all that I could, for real.
Don't even think about going to Medusa.
And let me tell you,
I don't think you'll find another job in this country.
I don't have to remind you who the Hidalgos are.
I was hurt, Bárbara,
because I was convinced
that you and I were getting along just perfectly!
Out of the blue, you tell me you want us to have an open relationship--
Wait, we had a deal, Esteban.
Yes, we had agreed to never sleep twice with someone, never fall for anyone else.
- I can't believe… - You lied and didn't stick to the deal.
I didn't want that!
I didn't want to!
Let me know when you solve the problem.
[Tatiana] Bárbara told me a few things. She messed with my head.
She-- She said you had another girlfriend, that you had a lover, that…
that you had business deals, not only in Medusa,
but outside the company.
- Wait. What business deals? - What do I know?
- Babe, what business deals? - She didn't say!
[intriguing music playing]
No, wait a second.
Wait, we really need to think this through, hang on.
Let's see…
Listen to me.
She told you I had business on the outside?
But she told me that you were the one who was stealing from Medusa.
She didn't remember we were both involved in the fraud?
I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't know if she knows.
If she knew before the accident or after the accident,
or how much she knows.
Or, or if-- I don't know, Tatiana.
[scoffs]
[sighs]
That's it. She knows.
No, I don't think so.
- Trust me. - No, no, no.
So how do you explain the things she told me?
[intriguing music builds up]
Holy fuck, she knows everything!
Oh fuck!
Finally, you're waking up.
[exhales] You have to leave the country now, honey.
Yeah, you need to leave as soon as you can.
- No. - You take our money. You take it.
- No, I'm not leaving alone. - Sweetie, I just can't leave like that.
Without Maya. I need to plan it all without raising suspicions.
This is a better plan for you.
Go withdraw all the money tomorrow, and once you're all settled in,
just send me an email to our inbox, and I'll join you.
Maybe you just want me out of your life, Esteban.
Of course not. I'm trying to protect you. I want to do more and I can't!
Listen to me, honey.
You know who we're dealing with!
[music peaks, fades]
[Bárbara] Esteban will probably come back to the house.
I asked him to fire Tatiana from Medusa
and to gather the evidence to send her to jail.
If he does that, I have no excuse to keep him out.
I don't know.
I don't think it's a good idea
for your husband to come back to the house.
It could be dangerous.
Danger, twenty years and a daughter later,
I'm pretty sure I know who I'm dealing with here.
On the contrary, I don't think you know who you're dealing with.
But if it's your decision, I respect it.
I have to go see Úrsula.
- I'll tell you how it goes. - Mmm.
Okay, see you later. Hey.
Be careful, okay?
[sensual jazz music playing]
[music turns tense and fades]
[woman] You keep thinking about her.
If Bárbara doesn't come back, you will have to let her leave.
She will have to return to me at some point.
She just needs time.

Aah, Rosa. Torrecitas again? Seriously?
I've asked you a thousand times, stop making them.
My love, take that.
You haven't had your second dose of the day.
Have you given any thought about our talk yesterday?
Honey, Vivi is ready.
I took the… the liberty to, um… draw up a document.
Someone, very intelligent,
once told me that promises are often better kept in writing.
[dramatic music playing]
Do you remember?
You know it's for the best.
Viviana is ready.
[dramatic music intensifies]
Sign, my love.
Excuse me.
Ah, what's wrong?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Bárbara Hidalgo is here.
Bárbara.
Uh… Honey, your nap.
- You'd better take him. - Yes, ma'am.
Get some rest, honey.
[music continues]
[Bárbara] Hello, Dad.
[music fades]
Let's go.
Just look at the time. It's nap time. He's exhausted by now.
I'm heading there as well.
The drug you're giving him is quite strong.
Well, yes, his blood pressure meds are not agreeing with him.
You know perfectly well what I'm talking about.
You remembered.
[intriguing music playing]
All right, I'm happy to hear that…
that you remember you have an ally here.
Yeah, but remind me what we joined forces for,
considering what it meant for my dad to find out.
For me, you've always been the perfect person to be managing Medusa.
- And that's the reason. - So that's it?
I care about the future of Medusa. My future and my daughter's.
I'm gonna need your help in order to reclaim the presidency.
[dramatic sting]
I'll help you win back your dad's trust.
And I'm going to get closer to Cristian.
- What for? - I don't know. I can't figure it out.
Maybe he's responsible for my accident.
Do you think he's capable of that?
After what I saw at Eternals,
I could suspect anyone of anything in this… wonderful family we're in.
If Cristian is responsible for what happened to me,
I'll have to turn him in.
Bárbara, I don't know.
In this family, we never wash our dirty laundry in public.
I'm not sure your dad will be okay if you cause a scandal over that.
I'll get to the end of this situation no matter what my father thinks.
I just want to know…
how would I fit?
What'll be my share from Medusa?
[scoffs] Don't worry, we'll arrange all the pieces together,
you in the family, and me in Medusa.
[suspenseful music playing]
[cell phone notification]
Is it urgent?
No, it's Esteban.
I forgot we were going to meet at the office.
Thank you for everything, my dear.
[music peaks, fades]
[cell phone ringing]
I just had the most interesting chat with Bárbara.
Mm-hmm.
And what did she want?
She remembered we were allies, can you imagine?
Does she think that?
Let her think what she wants.
Well, it's true that before the accident I tried to get along with her.
You know what she's looking for, Mom. Don't you?
What?
The presidency.
Don't you see, Mom?
She's still the same bitch she's always been.
Yes.
That's why it's best she thinks we're allies.
No! Mom.
Look…
- I'm so tired-- - Viviana.
I'm not asking you for a favor.
I'm just calling to tell you what we'll do.
I don't want us to become suspects when it all collapses.
And what are you eating?
This is no time to eat, Viviana!
Stop eating!
I just want you to know that the matter with Tatiana is settled.
What does that mean?
That everything's under control.
I promised you that I'd make sure that she pays, and she will pay.
- Then I need proof. - And you'll have it.
[somber music playing]
[cell phone vibrating]
[Esteban] Honey, have you thought about it?
Are you with me?
Esteban, let's do what you said, but don't fuck around.
And if you're lying, God forbid, I'll kill you.
[Esteban] But I need you to forgive me, baby.
We were both struggling in the marriage, it's true.
Finally, you tell the truth.
Come on…
Bárbara, we're both responsible in that situation.
I'm sure you get that.
I'm being fully transparent with you, so please just forget your ego.
I can see that you're a different woman.
I'm not sure what happened in that accident,
but you've changed
and so have I, I swear to God.
I'll see you later. We can talk more about this then.
[doorbell buzzing]
You told me you wanted to talk to me.
I want you to come back home.
