[tense music playing]
[Peyote] To the police station, boss?
Are we giving them Mr. Lobo?
Don't be stupid, Peyote.
What are we gonna do with the other fucking lawyer?
That fucker is a dead man, but he doesn't know it.
THE ACCIDENT
[gagged screaming]
[David groans]
[gagged screaming]
[music continues]
DO NOT DISTURB THANK YOU BIG ROCK HOTEL
Hey!
[banging on door]
-[Charro] Emiliano! -[Lucía] What's going on?
-Where the hell are your parents? -Not here.
-Emiliano! -What are you doing?
You can't come in!
-Where are you, asshole? -What's wrong with you?
-Daniela! -I told you they're not home!
Don't disrespect your elders, fucking brat, and call me sir.
-Where the hell are your parents, kid? -[Lucía] They're not here!
Call them.
-Call them! Call them! -I'm calling!
-[Gol barks] -[cell phone rings]
-What? I'm busy. -[Lupita] I'm at the police station.
Alex has been arrested.
You have to come now.
Your son needs you, Charro.
[sighs]
Asshole. Motherfucker!
Tell your asshole father to come forward right now.
-[Gol growls, barks] -Mm?
If I were you, I'd be more careful with that thing,
because people around here don't like dogs.
[Gol whines]
-Gol. It's okay, come. -[door opens]
-Come. It's okay. -[door closes]
[music fades]
[melancholy music playing]
[door creaks]
[music fades]
[Javier] Emiliano has also lost his son.
-[Brenda] At least you could've asked me. -[Javier] He's my best friend.
He's going through a very, very hard time, and I'm honoring our friendship.
Daniela is also my friend, she must have had a reason to dump him.
-Emiliano? -What if he cheated on her?
-What if he hit her? -Emiliano? Come on, please.
Ugh.
Oh, Javier.
You have reached a new level of astonishing me.
Vasectomy level.
Here. Take them.
Take one pill each night at the same time for the next five years.
-Don't be ridiculous. -Ridiculous?
I feel ridiculous having taken those pills
to avoid getting pregnant from a sterile man.
I'm sorry.
I made a mistake.
What can I do to make it up to you? I'm sorry!
For starters,
you go to the doctor and ask if he can reverse the vasectomy.
If that's not possible, I'll go to the sperm bank
to be artificially inseminated, and that's it.
-We have a kid next year. -Uh-huh.
Okay.
-There's always the other option. -Oh, yeah? Like what?
Find a real man who is willing to do me the favor, idiot.
What is this? Your revenge?
I want to have a kid.
Tomorrow.
I think it's best if I leave. I don't want to cause anymore problems.
You're not leaving this house, man.
It's obvious to me that you haven't killed anyone.
And whoever says otherwise, is talking pure bullshit.
But if you want to continue screwing up like you did with Moncho,
that's not gonna happen. I'm not gonna let you go out there,
get crazy, have some integrity attack, and end up turning yourself in,
and then, for sure, you'll end up screwing us all.
Emiliano, it's your turn to think about the rest of us.
[door slams shut]

[camera shutter clicks]
THE LITTLE SAINT THAT TALKS TO THE VIRGIN
-[tense music playing] -[camera shutter clicks]
Bless me, bless me.
[indistinct chatter]
[camera shutter clicks]
Dad.
-What is it? -Look.
-What? -You're everywhere.
What?
[Fabián] That's enough!
And you, you stop recording, you piece of shit!
[Carla] It is evident that this event has shaken the whole country.
A story that makes us believe in miracles.
SUE ME IF YOU WANT…!
[closes tablet]
Daddy, why don't you like the Virgin? She was the one who saved me.
From now on, it's forbidden to use the tablet in this house.
[sighs]
Until I say so, okay?
It's part of my job, what did you expect me to do?
Yes, I know it's part of your job.
My whole fucking life I've been hearing that little phrase.
But there are better ways to do things, Carla. Come on.
This country has the right to stay informed, Daniela. You know?
The news is that Paula was found alive, all the rest is bullshit.
And it's obvious why Fabián is mad.
You're exposing his daughter as if she were an exotic animal in a zoo.
How could we not? The child said to the world, "I saw the Virgin."
This country loves the Virgin of Guadalupe.
All the people want to get to know Paula and see if her story is true,
because they need to believe in miracles.
Miracles, really? Give me a break.
Then explain why the Virgin decided to save Paula but not my son,
-nor any of the other kids? -I'm not saying that.
Well, it's out of my hands.
Every journalist in Mexico is covering the case.
Well, let those journalists run with the story,
but you stay out of it, please!
When you become a mother, you'll understand why Fabián is--
Stop. Now.
My love, you have to get our son out of here.
I hope you took a shower before putting your fucking hands on me, whore.
-[tense music playing] -[gasps]
[footsteps approaching]
Mejías. Want me to rent a cell for you?
-You spend more time here than at home. -Why the hell is my son in here, man?
Drugs.
Ring a bell? Do you have anything to say about it?
[attorney] There's no evidence, Santos.
You can't keep him here more than 72 hours.
Where's Alex? I want to see him.
[sighs]
-[cell phone keyboard clacking] -[line calling]
[David] Hello, this is David. Leave a message.
David.
Charro found out, I don't know how, but he's gonna murder us.
You need to hide.
I have to take care of my son, but…
Go as far as you can, please.
-Excuse me. I'm so sorry. -Get the fuck out, asshole.
[door beeping]
[suspenseful music playing]
-Hey, wait. Please. Don't tell anyone. -No.
-Anyone. -No, no. I won't.
-Please, accept this. Please. -No, no, I can't.
Thank you.
[music fades]
[Carla] I would drink too, but…
Thanks.
Hey.
You're not like this because of the miracle child.
What's up?
I'm your sister.
Emiliano is responsible for the accident
of Rodrigo's death.
Emiliano didn't hammer in the stake
because he was too worried with the fucking business call with the gringos.
And then, he let the police arrest Moncho and paid him to stay quiet.
Today, Emiliano actually confessed to all of it.
But hold on, then…
Emiliano had Moncho murdered?
No, no, he didn't go that far. Well, at least that's what he told me.
I don't know what to believe.
Hey, and what-- What are you gonna do?
Besides getting a divorce? I don't know.
Emiliano promised he'd turn himself in.
If he doesn't, I'm going to bring him in.
End of story.
I don't want him in my life.
Rodrigo died, Carla.
And now my husband might as well be dead to me.
Oh, Dany, that's tough. Fuck, do you think David knows?
I mean, if he does, that makes him an accomplice, you know? And I--
Uh, he would've told me. I wouldn't have-- I don't know.
[cell phone rings]
Hi, sweetie.
[grunts]
[coughs]
Definitely, the only thing worth anything in this family was Gabo.
But he was murdered.
Would you care to explain why the fuck you got involved with drugs?
-You can't even handle mezcal, dumbass. -I'm not involved with drugs.
Those fuckers made up everything.
Are you protecting someone?
No.
Because Santos says they saw you
picking someone up who left the house of a fucking dealer.
I was just passing by.
By a dealer's house?
No.
It was Daniela. She chased me.
And arrested me.
-What's that? Daniela arrested you? -Yes, but she has no proof.
They didn't find anything in the car,
and they won't find anything in the lab tests.
What did you use?
Nothing.
[Charro exhales]
Okay.
I'll go talk to Sanoja and get you out.
Mm?
If you're lying to me, I'll beat the fuck out of you.
[cell door closes]
[Daniela] Lucía!
Sweetie! Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?
No, I'm fine, but that guy was out of his mind.
It was horrible.
He must be mad because I arrested his son.
You arrested Alex?
-Yes. -But why?
Trafficking drugs.
What? No, no, no, that's not true. Alex is a good guy.
I was really surprised to see him there, but if he were innocent,
-he wouldn't have run away. -But, Mom, no!
Listen, baby, I know there's something between the two of you,
and I don't want to imagine that you were aware
he was involved with that trafficking ring.
You've got to let him out. It's not right!
Lucía, look me in the eyes.
Do you know anything? We've been after this gang for a long time, huh?
Mom, all I know is that you have the wrong guy.
-I need to see him. -It's not a good time.
And now more than ever, I want you to avoid that boy.
Alex is innocent, I know!
[Lucía sighs]
Is there something you're not telling me?
Lucía! Lucía, I'm talking to you! Come here!
-Lucía! -[door closes]
[David] Emiliano. [breathes heavily]
Charro knows everything.
You have to leave your house now. He's on his way there to kill you!
-How does he know? -I don't know, man!
But you have to get out.
-Where are you? -I'm at Javier's.
-Daniela kicked me out. Are you okay? -Damn it!
Okay, stay there. I don't think he will go to Javi's house.
Okay, call you later.
[tense music playing]
Daniela. Daniela, it's possible that Charro is going to our house.
I was leaving to go find that fucker.
If he wants to get even because I arrested his kid,
-then he has to face me, but he-- -No, no, no, no, no.
He's angry because he found out what happened.
Please, let me take care of this. I'll fix it.
Oh, really? You're responsible for the death of his child
and you think you'll solve things by making an agreement
like you did with Moncho?
That motherfucker just barged into our house!
-What? -Lucía was here alone!
Is Lucía okay? Is she okay?
Well, she's afraid, and nervous,
and she's been asking questions.
Listen to me. Listen to me please, Daniela.
I'm really scared of what Charro can do. Let me take care of this, please.
Oh, shut up. I don't need you to defend me.
But I'll do as you say.
It's time you face the consequences of your actions.
I only ask you to stay away from us.
Because it's pretty clear that the closer you are, the more tragedies.
Charro!
[banging]
Charro!
Where is he at?
The boss and the missus aren't here. I don't know when they'll be back. [gasps]
Charro!
Tell your boss
that I'm also looking for him to put an end to this mess once and for all.
-[David] Carla! Carla! -Hm?
What-- What-- What happened?
-Baby, what happened to you? Are you okay? -I got mugged.
You got mugged, my love?
-No, no, but we have to go to the doctor. -I'm okay.
-Let's go to the hospital. To the police. -No, no.
-We have to file a report-- -No!
Pack your bags with the first things you can find and let's go.
-What? -Let's go!
-[Carla] Wait! -When I was trying to escape,
I ran over one of them. They-- They shot me. They…
They have my wallet with my ID.
They know where we live and they could come through at any moment.
-No. Come here. -Let's go!
Look at you! We have to go to a hospital right now!
And to the police station! We have to file a report!
-Jesus! Listen to me! -You're not understanding. No!
They will murder me!
-Get your things and let's go. -Why will they murder you? Come on.
-Hurry up! -What the fuck! Okay!
[Lupita] When will they let Alex go?
You know him. He would never do something like that.
Charro…
WELCOME TO SANTA CRUZ
What's wrong? What are you doing?
-Give me your fucking phone. -What?
Give me your fucking phone!
Fucking bitch.
-Get out! -No.
-Get out, motherfucker! -Let go of me.
-Hey, stop! -Get out of the fucking car!
How the fuck could you, Lupe?
You fucked another guy, you whore!
I work my ass off every single day for you!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. [sobs] It was a mistake.
You're a fucking…
I felt so alone. I miss my baby so much.
-And after you hitting me, I felt-- -It's my fault?
It's my fucking fault you decided to fuck someone else?
Did I force you to get his dick inside of you or what?
-No, no, no, no, no, no. -Huh?
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault. It's my fault. It's my fault. Forgive me, I'm sorry.
I love you, my love.
-[gasps] -You'll never do me like this ever again.
[gasps]
The worst part is you're stupid!
You're stupid. You don't think straight!
You think Peyote is the only guy who follows you?
That I don't see everywhere you go with your fucking cellphone?
[cellphone beeps]
THE FLAME HOTEL
You know how I found out?
-Guess how I found out. -I--
I saw you, you idiot!
You let yourself get recorded by a fucking camera in the hotel!
You couldn't even keep it a secret!
No, you had to make me look like an idiot!
[Lupita] It won't happen again. I promise. Forgive me.
[sobbing]
[Charro] Take off your shoes.
Take off your fucking shoes!
Come on.
Give them to me.
Take off your clothes.
No, Charro, please.
-No-- -Take off your fucking clothes!
Come on! Come on!
I bought that. Right?
Is this what you wanted?
You stupid fucking bitch!
[Lupita breathing shakily]
You're gonna walk straight home.
Like what you are, just a fucking whore on the street.
[gasps and cries]
[Lupita] Charro, don't, please!
-Charro. -[starts engine]
[engine revving]
[cries]
[dramatic music playing]
[Rodri] Dad! The bouncy house is not ready, come on!
You said you'd hammer in the stake!
[Daniela] Because you had to answer a fucking phone call!
[Rodri] Dad!
[Daniela] I hope it was worth it.
Was the life of your son worth the price, Emiliano?
You're a fraud of a man.
[unsettling music playing]
Where is he? The man so honest I fell in love with?
-[music stops abruptly] -[horn honking]
[tires squealing]
Aren't you listening, idiot?
They arrested Alex. He is the only one who has nothing to do with this mess.
[Salomé] What do you want me to do?
Go the police and tell them to let him go?
[Lucía] I don't know. We have to do something.
First, let's calm down.
Alex's dad has a ton of money,
so he'll be able to get him out today.
-This very night. -Uh-huh.
And if they find out he was with us, what?
-What the-- -Your boyfriend better not say anything
to the fucking police, because I'll lose it, Lucía.
Look, Nico, the only person who could snitch here is me,
so you better pray they release my friend Alex.
[knocking]
[door opens]
Honey.
What's up? Are you okay?
Uh, yeah, I, uh… had a little problem with Salomé. And you?
I wanted to tell you that your father won't be home for some time, my love.
What? Did something happen? Why?
It's late. I'm really tired.
-We can talk all about it tomorrow. -But--
Alright? It's gonna be okay.
Don't worry, baby.
But, Mom…
[door opens]
Isn't my lawyer supposed to be present in all the interrogations?
[Santos] We came to offer you a deal.
You just need to tell us who are the heads of the drug trafficking gang.
-Who did you go see at that house? -No one.
I pulled over 'cause I saw a commotion.
I have nothing to do with those guys.
Your father is involved, right?
That's how he made his money?
My father always worked in construction.
Then why did you have to run away from Jalisco?
You run out of cement, or what?
Your dad had issues with his partners.
So then he started his own business.
It's why he uses the construction company as a facade. Hm?
If you want to know about my dad so badly, why don't you talk to him yourself?
Don't forget that truth and garbage…
always float, huh?
[unsettling music playing]
[Lupita] Give us this day, our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who've tress--
Help me!
As we forgive those who've trespassed against us.
Help me!
Help!
Motherfuck…
[crying] I will never forgive you for this, Charro.
You asshole.
You slept with how many whores over the years,
and I pretended not to know anything.
[cries]
And lead us not into temptation.
But deliver us from evil.
[music continues]
I can't believe we're doing this.
This is getting on my fucking nerves. Jesus.
Did you notice how that lady was staring at you?
You're wearing the hoodie like an idiot, like a fucking criminal or something.
ALERT MOVEMENT SENSOR
[gunshot]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Peyote] There's no one here.
I can't believe that stupid fucker ran away.
He must have taken off and gone to tell Lobo you're after him.
They all booked it, boss.
Very well. Very well.
If the fuckers don't want to face me, we'll go do their wives.
But someone has to pay.
[muffled gunshot]
[Carla] Tell me why we had to come here. Why here?
-What's wrong? -Huh?
You're white as a sheet.
It's our best option given everything that's happened.
I don't get it, explain it to me. What are we doing here?
You're a lawyer. You know what we have to do.
We have to go to a doctor and file a report now.
No, no, no, we're not filing any report! They… they tried to kidnap me, okay?
They must have known about the gringo's money and--
-Love! -Wait, no. Wait, wait, wait.
You first told me you had been robbed.
Then you said you ran over someone and-- and they shot you for that,
and now you're talking about a kidnapping?
-Yeah, a kidnapping, yeah-- -You won't see any doctors or cops.
-What's going on? -I'm-- I'm confused. Jesus!
I don't know what the hell is happening, I--
Oh, are you doubting me, huh?
[David exhales]
You already knew, right?
That Emiliano caused the accident.
How did you find out?
-Who told you? -Oh, wow.
You may have forgotten, but his wife is my sister.
-How could you keep that from me, David? -I didn't keep anything from you, my love.
You're pregnant. I didn't want you to have unnecessary stress…
You know what? I'm asking you to please not insult my intelligence,
because I know you didn't say anything because of your fucking business.
-That's all you think about. -Why are you saying that, my love?
No, no. Just tell me the truth.
-You sent someone to murder Moncho? -What?
Listen, no, no, no. Don't say that, it's crazy, okay?
We had nothing to do with Moncho's murder, alright?
If you had anything to do with it,
I'll never forgive you.
-Baby. -Don't even.
But--
[exhales]
[pensive music playing]
[phone vibrating]
[emotional music playing]
Dad?
What happened? Why did you fight with Mom?
It's best to talk about that in person, my love.
But don't worry, we're gonna be okay. I'll take care of everything.
[exhales]
I, uh, just wanted to make sure you were okay.
I'm fine, I guess.
But I miss you.
[Emiliano] And I miss you, honey. I'm sorry.
-What happened with Charro is my fault. -Why?
I don't get it.
Why would he be so angry at you?
I-- I just wanted to hear your voice and tell you that…
That I love you, baby.
Dad, I'll always love you.
And don't worry,
that guy will never attack you again. Never again, nobody will.
I will always protect you, baby. I promise.
Always. No matter what happens.
[exhales emotionally]
I love you.
[music continues]
[starts engine]
[banging on door]
[Lupita] Charro!
[cries]
Charro!
Open up!
Charro!
[banging continues]
Charro!
[banging continues]
[Lupita] Charro!
[banging continues]
[Fabián] You have to do something, chief.
My house has been invaded by journalists and photographers.
Starting with Carla Robles,
who's been stalking my daughter to expose her on her shitty digital platform.
I understand your discomfort, Mr. Vallejo, but I can't do anything about it.
This country has freedom of the press.
But not when they're trespassing on private property
and harassing a nine-year-old girl.
You can't do anything in that case?
Okay, fine.
I'll send a patrol to monitor the situation.
-I appreciate it, Chief. -Sure.
There is something I would like to ask you.
Yeah?
Do you know if any of the parents could've ordered the killing of Moncho Gómez?
Now you expect me to do your job?
[phone ringing]
[beep]
Hello?
Oh, what-- what's up? How are you?
Listen, now is not a good time. I've got the--
Okay.
Alright, thank you so much for letting me know.
[door opens]
[Carla] Hey.
Look at this. I can't believe it.
I have three million views on my article on the miracle child.
Three million, David, can you believe it?
I'm famous. I mean, I could write a book about it.
I got a call from a colleague telling me he's representing Fabián Vallejo in court.
-Uh, who's he suing? -You.
It's a Human Rights complaint, for your story about his daughter, Paula.
-No. Why? What-- But he can't-- -Didn't I already tell you?
-You? What did you tell me? It's my fault? -I told you!
-Oh, no way. -What a fuck up!
-You're a fuck-up. -[exhales]
[door slamming echoes]
[grunts]
Ugh, this is crazy.
[line calling]
You've reached Emiliano Lobo. I can't come to the phone right now.
[Daniela] Emiliano, it's stupid of you to confront Charro.
That man is very violent.
Forget what I told you. Let's work this out another way.
[breathing heavily]
[line calling]
[Javier] Hello?
Javier. You know where Emiliano is? He's not answering.
Uh, I honestly don't know. But I'm really glad you called.
I hope you guys work it out. I love you both.
You know the truth, Javier. You're his accomplice.
His accomplice? No, no, no, no, no, Daniela.
I'm his friend.
Okay?
And by the way.
Brenda doesn't know anything, and considering her state,
I'd prefer it stays like that.
How easy it is for you guys to hide all this shit, huh?
[Javier] What happened was an accident.
About how he handled it,
well, I guess that all human beings,
we think we'll know how to deal with extreme situations,
but to do that we need a little training.
And Daniela, the truth is that no one teaches us how to lose children.
All that understanding from you has to do with all those zeros, right?
What you want is to save your million-dollar business from collapsing.
Many people know about this already.
What do you mean "many people"?
Charro found out the truth,
and I can't stop thinking he's going to murder Emiliano.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Emiliano] Lupita.
Are you okay? What happened?
Why are you here, you piece of shit?
Where's your husband?
Go fuck yourself.
[Charro] You showed up, man?
[Emiliano] You're a coward.
Don't come close to my family again. Your problem is with me, fucker.
-You're right about that. -[grunts]
[exhales]
You wanted to end the fucker who killed Gabo?
It's him. It was this bastard.
[tense music playing]
Charro!
[Emiliano] Motherfucker!
[grunts]
[groans]
[grunts]
[yells]
You fucking son of a bitch!
You'll pay for what you did, man.
-[gunshot] -[grunts]
[Charro groans]
[Daniela] I know what I'm doing. I barely grazed you, asshole.
[grunts]
-Go fuck yourself! -Go to the car.
You fucking bitch! That motherfucker also murdered your son.
I know that very well.
But at some point, we need to start making things right.
Let's go.
Hide behind your wife. I'll ruin both of you. You'll see.
Find me at the police station whenever you want.
While you're there, answer a couple of questions
that my colleagues from Jalisco are dying to ask you.
Don't ever get close to my daughter, I mean it.
[music continues]
-Let's go. -[Charro] Fuck you, asshole.
-Let's go to the hospital. -Fuck you too.
[car doors closing]
[Gol barking]
You know Charro will not rest until he avenges the death of his son, right?
He couldn't do it today.
But he's going to try again tomorrow, or any other day.
I know.
You know what?
I also wanted to pull the trigger on you.
I'm sorry, but I did.
But you're the father of my children.
-My love. -Do you know how difficult this is for me?
I know.
As if it wasn't enough with the death of Rodrigo.
What am I going to do when Lucía finds out?
-My love. -What am I going to do?
Baby…
I know.
I swear it makes me sick to see how sorry I feel for myself.
[sobs]
I don't know how to fix this.
-[sobbing] I don't know what to do. -Me neither, love.
Me neither.
[cries]
All I need is for you to understand.
-What? -That I never meant to hurt my little boy.
-[whimpers] -My son. Ever.
[Daniela] Accidents do happen.
We've all made mistakes at some point.
But this, Emiliano, the scope of what you did,
the consequences of this calamity,
it's too much. This fucking pain…
I don't know if this can be forgiven.
[cries]
What are you gonna do?
If I turn myself in to the police,
which I want to do, Daniela,
if I turn myself in right now, it's gonna cause a scandal.
The only thing that'll come of that is,
-the gringos will cancel the contract. -Again the gringos?
-You keep talking about the gringos. -They are gonna cancel the contract!
I don't give a shit!
Not only that, they're gonna sue us for an outrageous amount of money!
-Then let everything go to hell! -We cannot let everything go to hell!
It'll just keep getting worse, you understand?
I can't leave you guys out on the street. I can't.
Not Javier, or David, and obviously, by extension, your sister and Brenda!
I can't!
What is this? Fucking emotional blackmail?
Oh my God, come on!
What blackmail, Daniela? No!
I don't want to make things worse. I don't! I can't! That's all.
It can't get worse than this.
Daniela, you're being unreasonable right now!
Actions have consequences.
We all make mistakes. All of us!
Nobody cares about what I'm going through!
You also said it yourself! We all make mistakes.
Like yours with that Ulises!
-You were unfaithful to me, so-- -What? What?!
You hurt me!
-You're not serious. -It's not the same. I know it's not.
I can't believe you bring this up right now.
It has nothing to do with this! How dare you?!
[Daniela cries] That's so low.
Yes.
You're absolutely right.
You're right.
CITY POLICE
[police siren blaring]
-Walk. -Hey! Why are you here?
-Shut up. -Let go of me, asshole!
You won't say shit to the police, you heard me?
-Let go of me, fucker! -Shut up.
[Lucía groans]
You won't step foot in that police station. Understand?
If you go in…
You recorded us fucking?
Yeah, and check how cute you look doing coke.
[slap]
[grunts]
I fucking mean it.
If you talk, you go down with me, okay?
[knocking]
-Come on in! -[door opens]
Lobo. I was starting to miss you.
You don't seem to be having a good day.
You here to report the person who did that to you?
I'm here to surrender.
[tense music playing]
Come again?
Moncho Gómez had nothing to do with what happened.
I'm the only one responsible.
I'm responsible for the death of those three children.
Including my son.
