Ideas have a life of their own
and grow when we nurture them.
What happens when a harmful idea
is fixated in our mind?
At first, it may be miniscule,
barely a microscopic creature.
Nurtured by the strength of our thoughts,
the critter grows.
And ends up devouring
everything around it.
Kindness, empathy,
will power, everything.
Everything that makes us human.
Ends up succumbing
to this insatiable desire.
At that point,
the parasite has grown so big,
there is no space left around it.
And then…
Ms. Aleida, you can't go in.
…everything blows up.
The person has stopped existing,
giving place to the monster.
Cornered and full of fear,
it becomes a furious animal.
Violent.
It's time.
You're coming with me now.
Calm down.
Put that gun down, Aleida.
Shut up, damn it!
Apply pressure here.
-Hang in there. -Everything will be okay.
-Hold on. Call an ambulance! -Where are they?
-It's on its way. -Upstairs with the doctor. Go!
-What doctor are you talking about? -She'll kill her! Hurry upstairs!
Upstairs! She'll kill her! She'll kill the doctor!
Aleida, relax. Put the gun down.
-Calm down. -Fuck! I said shut up!
Move. Hurry, come on!
-Get back! -Let her go! Let me see your hands!
Come closer, and I'll shoot.
-Relax. -Don't come near us.
Get back!
Put your guns down!
I'll shoot her.
Up.
I said up!
Up the stairs, or I'll shoot.
Move!
Come on, move!
Move.
Don't stop, or I'll shoot.
Relax, Aleida.
Shut up!
Don't stop, or I'll shoot you.
Calm down.
Commander Solana.
-What do we know about the assailant? -A patient of Dr. Bátiz.
Committed to a clinic three months ago for a psychotic break.
Any communication with her?
Not yet, sir. Our men haven't been able to get close to them. We're on it.
-Sir? -One second, Commander.
Ortega here, over.
Sir, the assailant has a hostage on the roof.
Aleida, there's no way out.
Please understand. We should go downstairs.
First, I'll kill you and then myself.
No.
Look at me.
You must recover your center.
You remember how to do it, right?
Breathe.
Take a deep breath
and repeat after me.
Ninety-nine.
Ninety-eight.
Ninety-seven.
Ninety-six.
Ninety-five.
Shut up! I don't want to hear it. I won't listen to another word.
Shut up.
If you have something to say,
this is your chance.
Doctor Bátiz, are you okay?
No, the doctor isn't okay.
She'll be worse if you don't do this.
What do you want?
I want a TV crew. I want reporters.
What? Television?
Cameras, damn it! Press, reporters, here!
And you have five minutes. Otherwise, I'll shoot, moron.
Radio.
Do you have a visual?
Distance, 75 meters.
You'll tell them the whole truth.
Believe it or not, you have more power over me than I have over you.
Aleida, I'm with you.
If you have a clean shot, shoot.
Take a deep breath.
TACTICAL POLICE
Do you trust me?
The shot is compromised.
Get down, you are surrounded!
Federal Police, put your weapon down!
You are surrounded!
Target in view.
No, don't shoot!
Drop the gun!
Put your gun down!
Drop it!
It happened so fast.
I heard shots and saw the doctor fall.
Then, I was face-to-face with the suspect.
She was going to shoot us.
So, I fired.
Doctor. How is she?
What happened to Aleida?
Take her.
-Is she okay? -Yes, for sure.
Fuentes, go to the roof. I'll join you in a sec.
Excuse me.
FORENSIC SERVICE
-Ms. Aleida, you can't go in. -They're on their way, relax.
-She's with the doctor. Come! -What doctor do you mean?
Upstairs! She'll kill her!
DO NOT CROSS
She'll kill the doctor!
Upstairs! She'll kill her. She'll kill the doctor!
Rebecca.
She's alive!
Who are you?
Huh?
How do you know my name, huh?
No.
Stay here.
Don't go.
No.
Where are the paramedics, damn it? We're losing her!
No, don't go.
Don't go, please. No.
Don't go. Hang on.
Alright, come.
-Let us do our job. -No. Let me go. No.
Enough, stop!
-Is she a relative of yours? -No.
Becca, do you know her?
No, I'd never seen her in my fucking life.
What are you staring at?
Get things ready to take her downstairs.
Okay, move! Move, dude!
She called me by my name.
She knows who I am.
Are you okay?
Aren't you going home?
How is she?
She was in surgery all night.
She's been admitted
to the ICU, in the same hospital as the doctor.
What do we know about her?
Aleida Trujano, 32 years old.
Married.
According to her file, for three years she's been a patient
of Doctor Julia Bátiz.
She was committed last December.
December?
Why? What happened?
A psychotic break. I guess the doctor's the one who knows the details.
Take a look at this.
Before she was committed,
Aleida Trujano was the president
of a major multinational corporation
which recruits top-level executives, headhunters.
When she wakes up, I want to question her.
I can't authorize that.
-I need to talk to her. -You're not a detective.
Commander Solana.
The victim's husband is here.
Eugenio Sáenz.
Thanks.
Here.
She's my wife.
Fuck! I don't know if you're married,
but if your wife was committed, would you do nothing?
Your wife was committed because…?
She was hospitalized voluntarily.
You requested her release against the recommendation of her psychiatrist
Julia Bátiz.
Correct?
Are you trying to accuse me?
No, not at all.
All I'm doing is gathering details for the investigation.
Sir, my wife is in the ICU.
I shouldn't be wasting my time here.
Mr. Sáenz, this will barely take a minute. Please, sit down.
Tell me.
Why did you take your wife out of the mental health clinic?
I took her out
because it was a special occasion. It was her birthday yesterday.
She turned 33.
Thanks for coming while your wife is in Intensive Care.
Thank you.
What do you think?
Do you think that asshole is hiding something?
We need to talk.
In my office?
No.
No, not here.
At your place.
No running, kids, please.
Hey, what a surprise!
-Hi. -I won the gold.
-Really? -Yes.
That's great, kiddo. Congrats.
-He's a champ. -Amazing!
-Yeah, I broke the board in three pieces. -No!
-You're lying. With a kick? -Yes.
Congratulations, son. That's great.
-Hi, love. -Hello. How are you?
Fine.
We're here to coax you.
The kids want to celebrate with a burger.
I want a burger too. Anyone else?
-Me! -Agent, I'll steal him from you.
Of course. Fuentes, we'll talk later.
-Whenever you say, Commander. -Yes.
-Who wants a double burger? -Triple.
Hi, I'm Rebecca Fuentes, from the DA.
I need to know Aleida Trujano's state of health.
Rebecca.
Aleida.
Aleida, I know you can hear me.
Please, don't die.
I need to know who you are.
I need to know who we are.
Eugenio.
Doctor Ugalde wants to speak to you.
Is something wrong?
No.
My darling!
Happy birthday, honey.
How was your day?
What's wrong, dear?
We need to talk, Mom.
Of course. Tell me.
Sweetie, you look stunning.
What?
Aleida Trujano?
Well, I don't understand. What's this about?
I thought maybe you could explain this to me.
I mean, not only are we identical,
she turned 33 yesterday.
Can't you see?
Don't you think I'm old enough
to learn about a few truths, Mom?
What truths?
Secrets, for instance.
Like I have a twin sister you never told me about.
Have you been drinking, Rebecca?
I haven't had a drop in three months.
I want to understand why there's a woman identical to me
in the ICU, in a hospital, who was born the same day as me.
What happened?
Were we switched at birth or something?
Or did you have another daughter and give her away?
Hey, just listen to you!
What nonsense are you talking about?
Give away a daughter?
Well, then explain it to me.
Give me some information or…
Show me a picture of you pregnant with me.
-You're drunk, Rebecca. -No.
-I didn't drink. -I don't believe you.
Blow at me! Blow--
I haven't had a fucking drop! You just gave me the perfect excuse.
Sure.
Of course.
I'm to blame for you getting drunk.
My goodness!
When will you take responsibility for your actions?
I'm trying.
I'm taking responsibility for an illness I didn't ask for.
That neither you nor I caused.
It would be very helpful if I knew my past.
Look, Rebecca.
Why don't you call your AA sponsor?
Whoever you need to find to speak about this. Just leave me out of it!
Oh, your aunt and uncle are here.
I hope you don't make a scene tonight.
Because what you did the other day was horrible.
A bottle of vodka, please.
Thanks.
CONVENIENT STORE
-The police has not revealed… -Who is it?
…about the nature of the attack
which resulted in four wounded,
among them the attacker,
who was shot down by the police at the scene.
The attacker's identity hasn't been revealed
not to hinder the investigation,
but we know she's a psychiatric patient.
According to eyewitnesses, the attacker broke in with a fire weapon
ATTACK RESULTS IN FOUR WOUNDED
seriously injuring the porter and a secretary.
Minutes later, the police arrived at the scene…
Her name is Rebecca.
She was born on March 9th.
…was wounded, and the DA is investigating.
We'll have more information…
I need to know if these two people are related.
-Can you take care of it? -I don't get it.
The DA forensic lab is at your disposal.
Why do you need my help?
Because it was my birthday.
And it's all I'm asking for.
Okay.
When will you take responsibility for your actions?
I'm trying.
I'm taking responsibility for an illness I didn't ask for.
That neither you nor I caused.
I hope I don't have to remind you next year it's my birthday.
I'll never forget it again.
Ever.
Do you mean it?
I promise.
I want to spend the rest of your birthdays with you.
I'm not asking you for anything.
You don't have to promise.
I'm separating from Marifer.
You've practically been living at my place four months.
Only you and I know that.
And do you think Marifer doesn't know you're with me?
It's much more complicated than that.
What's complicated about it?
You've been separated for months. You told me the kids are okay,
that they're adjusting to the situation.
It's not about the kids. They've nothing to do with it.
You're not being fair.
Not to her, or to me, not even to the kids.
Be more honest.
I'm not getting a divorce.
Marifer is pregnant.
She was committed last December.
December? Why? What happened?
A psychotic break.
Aleida!
-Eugenio, call an ambulance, please. -What happened?
-The house is on fire. -What?
ALARM
Aleida Trujano?
There's no patient with that name in our records.
What? I was here yesterday. I saw her.
Recheck the system and look for Aleida Trujano.
PATIENT NOT FOUND
No.
I'm sorry.
-Fuentes. Come. -What are you doing here?
Are you following me? No, hey, wait.
I'm asking this woman about Aleida Trujano.
She says she's not in the system. She's not in the records.
-Let's go. -Explain what's going on. I don't get it.
I was here yesterday. I saw her. And she's not in the system today?
What about your AA meeting?
My meeting?
I didn't go.
Can you tell me what's going on?
Aleida Trujano died.
What are you doing?
Closing the case.
You can't be serious.
What about the investigation?
There's nothing to investigate.
Besides, the family doesn't want the police prying.
Wait, she was deleted from the hospital records. Isn't that fishy?
I recognized the body myself, read the report, it's normal.
Someone with three gunshots to the thorax…
-It was respiratory failure. -You said--
Becca, the case is closed.
-They're orders from above, way high. -I don't get it.
I don't understand a thing and can't believe you're okay with it.
Don't forget one of the conditions for you to keep working here
is you don't miss your AA meetings.
If you hurry, you can catch the last meeting.
Please, go ahead.
No, don't shoot!
-Drop the gun! -Put it down!
Who are you? How do you know my name?
Where are the paramedics? We're losing her!
WE REMEMBER PILAR MANCERA…
10 EXECUTIVE MOMS SHOW US IT CAN BE DONE
Yes?
Oh, come in.
-What's up? -Hi.
So?
Rebecca…
you were wrong.
About?
Or you contaminated the samples you gave me.
Look.
The DNA strands are identical.
Either the samples are from the same person,
or they're identical twins.
I'm not crazy.
I swear on my son's soul I'm not crazy.
Don't bring Alex into this.
You don't believe me either, do you?
Darling.
Your doctor says it's necessary.
I know what she says.
I know.
I'm not schizoid.
I don't have three personalities.
You don't believe it, but I'll prove it to you.
-Good morning. -Hello, morning.
-Where's Fuentes? -She called in sick, Commander.
Here are your daughter's ashes,
who fell asleep in the hope of resurrection.
To awaken to eternal life.
We ask comfort for those
who knew her and loved her when she was alive.
In the knowledge
she has finally found peace.
