01x02 - Bumerán

Post by bunniefuu »

BERNARDA: Girls, the food is ready.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

BERNARDA: Can you put
your cell phones away?

- Give me your phones.
- Just a minute. It's from work.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

- Why?
- You know why.

Don't ever come home again
when Bernarda's around.

Delete the picture.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

[SPLASHING]

BERNARDA: That was Delia. She's worried

because Alex isn't answering
her calls or texts.

I am ready to inform you that Alexia Valle

may have been the victim of a crime.

[MUSIC CONCLUDES]

[POLICE SIREN BEEPS]

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE

POLICE OFFICER: So, to summarize…

You're saying that you had the keys
to the deceased's apartment

because you water her plants.

And because we lived together for a while.

Don't you find it strange
that her mom didn't call until Monday?

Why would I find that strange?

In this day and age,
Mrs. Delia not looking

for her daughter all weekend is odd.

- Is this an interrogation?
- Just a conversation between friends.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Prosecutor Ortiz.

Ramiro. I'm sorry about what's going on.

Well, I've known Alexia
since she was a child.

It hits very close to home, right?

Hmm. And... and you're here
about this case?

I'm being pressured from very high up.
It's become very media-heavy.

I can't believe it wasn't an accident
as we thought from the beginning.

Ramiro, out of the respect I have for you,

I assure you that I'm going to get
to the bottom of this.

I know it. There is no doubt in my mind.

But... but isn't there any way
you can share some kind of information?

- Ramiro, please, not with the press...
- No, no. Not as a journalist. As a friend.

We have only one clue.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Alexia's cell phone
is nowhere to be found, it vanished.

- A robbery?
- Could be.

But the crime scene
shows us something different.

There were a lot of valuables
that weren't taken.

At this moment, we are starting
another line of investigation.

- The possibility of a lover.
- Hmm.

I beg your discretion.

Yes, of course.
Thank you very much, prosecutor.

Nice to see you again.

[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]

Do you know if your friend was dating
more than one boy?

The entire Olympic basketball team.

Miss Jimena, the last thing we want
is to tarnish Alexia's memory.

We want justice for her.

Things weren't going well
with her boyfriend.

Marcos Sandoval?

- Mm-hmm.
- JIMENA: Mm-hmm.

She told me she was seeing someone else.

[MUSIC CONCLUDES]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Dad?

RAMIRO: I wish you weren't going
through this. [KISSES]

- I know.
- [BREATHES DEEPLY, KISSES]

Sorry, it's time. It's your turn,

- Mr. Del Solar.
- Yes, I'm coming.

Wait for me here and we'll go together.

Yes. Have fun
with the heroes of the nation.

- Yes.
- Assholes.

RAMIRO: Let's go as soon as possible.

PLATAS: Coffee?
It's instant, but it's tasty.

Thank you very much.

- Well, then, let's get started.
- Hmm.

When was the last time
you saw Miss Alexia alive?

PRIME TIME

[THEME MUSIC PLAYS]

I am on a diet.

Ramiro is at the prosecutor's office,

so we'll have to start
the meeting without him.

The order is to give priority
to the Alexia case.

Great, red note to increase
the rating, very good.

Samuel may be joking, but can we treat
this femicide with respect?

But it has not been confirmed as a crime.

I'm not saying it for us, Julia,
but all of a sudden, they start saying,

"Poor men, they always k*ll for love,

- "it was a crime of passion."
- Wait. Don't get ahead of yourself.

"He beat her to death
because he adores her."

That's not going to happen. Questions?

No. I'm gonna edit the report
on the Medical Examiner's Office

because we're behind schedule.

What part about prioritizing
Alexia's case didn't you understand?

- Why can't we do both?
- Because that's what Ramiro asked for.

The other stuff is important,
but we're going to put it on hold.

I went ahead and searched the files,

and there's a lot of information
about Alexia.

- Good.
- Where are we going to start?

Social networks, the Olympics?

Well, both. We have to give
wide coverage to this story.

NOELIA: I have videos of her training
when she was little.

- [KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKING]
- JONATHAN: That's already on here. Look.

Bring a coffee for Mr. Del Solar.

It's really not necessary. I would prefer
that we finish as soon as possible.

Come on.

PLATAS: It's on me.

- [DOOR CREAKS]
- [SIGHS] What an honor. [CHUCKLES]

Well, alone at last.

I'll say it as we say it here.
Let's cut to the chase.

I've been doing this for many years,
and I feel my career is at a standstill,

I need to solve a good case,
like Alexia Valle.

I have access to the complete
investigation files

and for a journalist of your status,
well, I imagine that's...

invaluable, right?

- And what do you want in return?
- PLATAS: To look good.

I want to be
in one of those shows like yours.

If I look good,

maybe you'll be talking
to the next attorney general.

All right, it's a deal.

- But on one condition.
- PLATAS: Yes.

I need information for tonight's newscast.

[WHISTLES]

Deal done, never undone.

- I'll get back to you.
- Okay.

Hey. How's the showbiz chick? Is she nice?

Yeah. Call me later.

PLATAS: I'm sorry. I'm sure you have
a lot to do and I'm taking up your time.

- Thanks.
- PLATAS: Hey, we'll talk.

That's it.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [SIGHS] Okay, Platas. Good.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- Mr. Del Solar, here's your coffee.
- Uh, no, thank you.

- Sure?
- Yes, very kind of you.

[PHONE BEEPS]

RAMIRO: "I got bored and went home.
See you later at the station."

[THREATENING MUSIC PLAYING]

[CAR HONKS]

LEÓN: Ramiro.

RAMIRO: Mr. León.

It's tough to come to these places, right?

LEÓN: Well,
we have no choice, we work here.

And I imagine you're coming
from the interrogation.

- They call it an "interview" nowadays.
- Indeed. I'm just on my way out.

Listen, I didn't ask you yesterday,
how is your documentary going?

What documentary? Yes. Well, it's...

It's more like a special report,
it was about to come out,

- but with all this misfortune...
- Yeah, right.

Well, I won't take up your time,
surely you have important things to do.

- Thank you.
- And I reaffirm my promise to you.

We will find the ones responsible
for this horrible tragedy.

I'm sure you will. Thank you.

- Good to see you, Ramiro.
- Nice to see you.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Marcos, why are you
being called to testify?

- What happened with Alexia, Marcos?
- [OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

REPORTER 1: Marcos,
who was the last person to see Alexia?

[REPORTERS CLAMORING INDISTINCTLY]

LIVE FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE

REPORTER 2: Please, Marcos,
are you here as a witness?

Marcos, please answer. Marcos!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[TIRES SCREECH]

[PHONE BEEPS]

PLATAS: As promised.
The necropsy hasn't been completed yet,

but it is certain that it'll be determined
that there was external force.

In other words, it was not a normal fall.

Here is the other one. A little angel
named Marcos has just arrived,

and guess what, he has no alibi.

So the order of presentation
is being made.

I hope that's enough
for your newscast today.

[CAR HORN HONKING]

With the current administration,
there are already 20,000 reports

of missing persons.
Why aren't DNA tests being done?

- DNA tests are expensive.
- SAMI: Mm-hmm.

In Mexico we do not have
the necessary infrastructure

to meet such a demand.

- Which government is responsible?
- None.

And all at the same time.

JULIA: What did I say?

I'm sorry... [STUTTERS]

Ramiro is on his way,
I'll see you at the meeting.

Yes, I'm coming.

- I'll see you.
- Yes.

f*cking hell.

When I arrived, the scene
was totally compromised. [CHUCKLES]

They broke every, every single protocol.
They didn't miss a single one.

We have to deal with assholes.

You have no idea about the pressure
I'm getting from the National Palace.

It won't be the first time. [CHUCKLES]

Help me solve this. Crown yourself
with this case and then retire.

I appreciate your consideration,
but you know that you need resources,

a judge's order.

The papal blessing?

- LEÓN: Is it possible?
- [CHUCKLES]

- BERNARDA: Jimena? Are you there?
- [DOOR KNOCKING]

- BERNARDA: Jimena?
- [WATER GUSHING]

Will you answer me, please?

Are you there? [GASPS]

- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- BERNARDA: Honey.

Honey, no. My little girl. Darling.

Are you all right, baby?
You're all right. I'm here, my love.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[WHIMPERS]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Yes, this is the last one.

We have two pending matters.

Uh, they called me about the award
you'll receive the day after tomorrow.

I didn't know what to tell them,
considering the situation.

Yes. Of course I will go.
It's a long-standing commitment.

And your friend called Andrés Pacheco.

Andrés? No, no.
That man is not my friend.

And if he calls again,
don't even put him through.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- Okay.

My wife's calling me.
Can you tell Bernarda I'm in a meeting?

- ASSISTANT: Thank you.
- Thanks.

Okay.

We need to be very clear
on how to approach the Alexia case.

If Noelia wants,
she and I will handle that case,

so Sami and Julia
can handle everything else.

There's nothing else.

- Didn't you tell them?
- I did.

RAMIRO: I want the whole team
focused on the Alexia case.

Chief, but who's going to follow up
on the Ayahuaca crossing?

And the special reports we have?

What about the report you approved
regarding Madres Buscadoras?

Am I speaking Japanese?

Look, guys, please, we talked about it.
Alexia is important now.

Yes, but we're not a sports
or gossip newscast.

- Count on me, Ramiro.
- Thank you, Jonathan. Thank you.

And I need something else,
to sharpen your instincts.

There is something strange
about the Alexia case,

and I want us to figure it out.
Now, let's get to work.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Are you sure you will be able to separate
the professional from the personal?

- Julia, please.
- JULIA: Is she sad?

Send Sami to check on Marcos.

Thank you.

DOCTOR: It was head trauma
that k*lled her immediately.

Here's a contused wound,
but it's not that bad.

What does your experience tell you?

DOCTOR: We have to wait
for the necropsy results.

What I can tell you
is that there is no indication

of violence or struggle.
It was more like a game gone wrong.

Here, let me show you something.

- That's how she was found.
- LEÓN: Sexual as*ault?

DOCTOR: No, no. There was no r*pe,
but she did have sex that night.

What's your personal interest in the case?

MALE VOICE: Let's say
it's the attorney general's

personal interest.

Did they send you the toxicology report?

DOCTOR: No, not yet,
but I'm sure it will come back clean.

This girl was athletic
and very well trained.

- MALE VOICE: You don't know them.
- DOCTOR: Hmm.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

SAMI: How long did Marcos and Alexia last?

NOELIA: I think a year and a half.

What has been your longest
and hardest relationship?

I've had some long ones,
very few hard ones.

Hey, write this name down. Laura Buenfil.

- Who is Laura Buenfil?
- SAMI: Marcos' ex,

- I'm going to write to her.
- Okay.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

No, we have to do what you send me.
Just a second.

Sorry, Mr. Ramiro. I left for a second
and didn't see you come in.

Mrs. Bernarda is looking for you urgently.

I'll call you back. Thank you.
Did something happen?

I don't know, something...
something about Miss Jimena.

Thank you.

BERNARDA: Damn, Ramiro, now you answer me?

RAMIRO: Come on, honey,
I just got the message.

Jimena cut herself again.
Deeper this time, near the femoral.

What happened to her
at the prosecutor's office?

What happened to her at the station?
She didn't tell me anything.

I don't know, I was supposed
to meet her at the station,

but I got here and she wasn't here.
I'm on my way there.

It is pointless now.
I've already cured her. I gave her a pill.

What I don't understand
is where your scale of priorities lies.

- Holy sh*t, why is this happening to me?
- Cut down on your ego, okay?

Because the world
doesn't revolve around you all the time.

- BERNARDA: I'm gonna call Néstor.
- Okay.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS, CONCLUDES]

If the mountain won't come to Mohammed,
f*ck the mountain, right?

I called you three times.

Salvador, I'm not in the mood.
I got a call from the prosecutor's office.

Excuse me, Mr. Ambassador.

When I call you, you answer me.

Did you do something to Jimena?

- Why would I do anything to your daughter?
- RAMIRO: She got upset.

Her best friend died,
she's under a lot of stress.

I'm here to talk about something serious.
Business.

You can't be thinking about bullshit.

We have something very good.

Marcos is a self-centered,
insecure, jealous, violent guy.

First things first,
is Laura willing to come on the show?

Yes, Sami has already set up
the interview.

Good, I'm going to interview her live.

Uh, no, I thought
I'd do the interview and edit it.

No, I'm going to interview her here
and live.

Chief, that's not what I agreed to.

Well, don't agree on things
that we didn't agree on in the meetings.

- We're a team, remember?
- Yeah, but I don't think she'll go for it.

She will. I want her here at 7:00.
I have to talk to her first.

- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]
- MAID: Ma'am.

- Did Jimena wake up?
- No, she's still asleep.

You've been dodging my calls all day.
I had to come and get you.

Eva.

[KISSES]

Eva, sorry. You don't know what my life
has been like the last few days.

Jimmy's best friend passed away,
and... [SIGHS]

- EVA: And how's Jimena?
- Well, bad. Bad. She relapsed.

We're partners. You can lean on me.

Thank you, I know. Thank you.

EVA: Well, I came to tell you
that I've got everything ready

for us to go into the convenience stores.

[CHUCKLES] Wait,
why don't you give me a chance?

Give me... I don't know,
let me get through this, okay?

Chance? Chance?

And why do I always
have to be waiting for you?

Because it's my... [SCOFFS]
...image, that's why.

EVA: No, that's easy.
Your husband supports you, doesn't he?

Hey, no. Eva.

Ramiro doesn't support me.

You and I have a business,
not an agency for your public image.

I'm not gonna sell poor quality products
with my name on the packaging.

EVA: Well, you are proving me right.

In business, to make money,
you have to sacrifice things.

I'll buy you out.

[CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES, INHALES]

I thought I could come here
and somehow fix things,

but with you it's impossible, Bernarda.

You've got to cut down on your ego.
I'm serious.

- [indistinct chatter]
- Laura?

- Hello.
- RAMIRO: Hello.

- I'm Ramiro. How are you?
- LAURA: Fine, thanks.

This is impressive, but don't be nervous.
Can I get you something to drink?

No, I'm good. Thank you.

- Yeah, you sure?
- Yeah. Sure.

Well, I'm going to explain to you
how this works so that you'll be calm,

and nothing happens.
As you've seen, we're all one family.

You know Sami, now you know me.
And no one...

No one is going to force you to say
or do anything you don't want to, okay?

- Okay.
- Now then.

I know that sometimes
our emotions overcome us,

but now you should consider if...
If you are capable of doing something

so that no other girl
goes through what you went through.

Yes, well...

The truth is that Marcos...

There's no need
to convince yourself either.

We are not here to judge anyone,

but a very important line
of investigation points to him.

Let's imagine that Marcos was the one
who ended Alexia's life.

You could have prevented it. Hmm?

But now you have another chance...

to make sure that what happened to Alexia
doesn't happen to any other girl.

Okay?

You really don't want anything to drink?

- No, I'm good.
- Well, we'll be on air soon.

You'll see, everything's gonna be fine.

Okay, thank you.

FREE NETWORK

EMPLOYEE: Everybody, stand by,
we're about to begin.

Stand by.

Are they well covered?

Yes, sir. I'm keeping an eye
on your gray hairs.

Good. Thank you.

JULIA: Stand by, opening credits.

MALE VOICE: Okay, five, four, three, two.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Welcome for another night to this,
your investigative show, The Whole Truth.

We continue with the case
that has shocked the whole country.

The death of the Olympic star,
Alexia Valle.

It began as an unfortunate accident
and has taken unusual turns.

Today we are joined
exclusively by Laura Buenfil,

former partner of Marcos Sandoval,
boyfriend of the Olympic medalist.

Laura has very enlightening information,
so stay tuned.

After the curtain, let's go to camera two.

Welcome, Laura.

- Thank you for accepting this invitation.
- Thank you, Ramiro, for inviting me.

How was your relationship
with Marcos Sandoval?

Um, we got along very well.
He's a very affectionate guy.

But something made him change.

Well, I don't know
if anything made him change,

but maybe I realized
there were certain things I didn't like.

Like what?

- I don't know...
- RAMIRO: Did he yell at you?

Laura, did he hit you?

LAURA: No. No, he didn't.

Marcos could be violent,
but never against me.

From what you say,
it was a matter of time

before he crossed the line.
Marcos is an outstanding boy,

a national taekwondo selection.
Like all boys his age, he loves to party.

My research team
found the following video.

As always, our viewers' opinions

- are the most important.
- What video?

- MARCOS: What the f*ck, man?
- LAURA: Marcos, calm down.

What the f*ck?
Get out of the car, as*h*le!

- Come on, f*gg*t. Get out!
- LAURA: Marcos...

- LAURA: But that...
- RAMIRO: Look at him.

LAURA: That...
that didn't happen like that.

- [PHONE RINGS]
- RAMIRO: Laura, do you think it's fair

to allow other young people
to be victims of this violence?

The images speak for themselves.
Thank you, Laura, for your testimony.

Let's go to a commercial break.

Why didn't you tell me
you found that video?

I found it late,
I thought Ramiro had warned you.

No, he didn't.

I don't even know who the producer
of this show is. [CHUCKLES]

- [INHALES DEEPLY]
- I just... I just followed orders.

I give you the orders here, Jonathan,

that is if being part of this team
is still one of your plans.

Off you go. I'll see you tomorrow.

Get some rest.

- [DOOR CREAKS]
- [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

[CAR HORNS HONKING]

- [MUSIC CONCLUDES]
- Good evening, surprise!

- Look.
- It's all right. No need to be violent.

Where do you think you live? Switzerland?

- In Mexico City.
- JULIA: Get in.

Thanks. [CLEARS THROAT]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES ABRUPTLY]

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

- BERNARDA: I didn't know you were here.
- I just got here.

I spoke to Néstor.

He thinks it's very important for Jimmy
to resume therapy as soon as possible.

Can you help me talk to her
to convince her?

- If it's best for her, then so be it.
- How was your day?

You don't want to know. Yours?

- A mezcal?
- Two.

[CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

- [EXHALES] Uh, don't you want some?
- No, I'm old fashioned.

- [CHUCKLES]
- That's all right. Come on, let's dance.

I'll follow you.

How old was she?

Too young to die.

Would you like to be a mom?

- [EXHALES, CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]

It's just... you're a good leader,
beautiful, talented, very young.

JULIA: I'm not like other women.

On the station they say you're a l*sbian.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

What do you think?

[MOANS]

- JULIA: I'm your boss.
- [SIGHS] Yes, sorry, Julia.

[SMOOTH JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

[MOANS]

Wait, stop it. Stop it. I'm sorry.

[GROANS, SIGHS, BREATHES DEEPLY]

- [MUSIC CONCLUDES]
- I'm so stressed.

I know you are.

[INHALES DEEPLY] I know you have
a thousand things on your mind.

How's business with your partner Eva?

Uh...

[SIGHS]

I don't even know
at what point I partnered with her.

- No, there's got to be a solution.
- [SCOFFS]

Well, the only solution
I can think of is...

- to buy her shares.
- With what money?

[KISSES]

I thought, maybe you could be
a little supportive.

- Hmm?
- [SIGHS] Bernarda, now is not a good time.

But you already know that.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[MUSIC CONCLUDES]

FEMALE ASSISTANT: Mr. Lima,
Ramiro Del Solar is looking for you.

Send him in.

RAMIRO: Thank you.

LIMA: Ramiro.

Is your blood pressure down?

My blood pressure is up to my neck.

Remember that a man's success
is not measured by how high he goes...

but by how high he bounces
when he hits bottom.

- Yes, that's Napoleon Bonaparte.
- Isn't it? Hernán Cortés?

- [CHUCKLES]
- Pancho Villa.

- Well, now. I came to apologize.
- Take a seat.

- I want to talk about something important.
- RAMIRO: Tell me about it.

- The elections are coming up.
- Well, it's three years away.

- LIMA: That's why we have to get ready.
- Okay.

We'll support Adalberto Altamirano.

- With Adalberto?
- LIMA: Uh-huh.

And wouldn't you rather support
the Ku Klux Klan?

Or those Spaniards from Vox?

- [CHUCKLES]
- RAMIRO: Don't f*ck with me.

Seriously, you can't do that.

He's got money, so let's bet on them.

Publicity rules.

- You're getting into dangerous territory.
- They're getting us in.

- Who knows if in three years...
- No sh*t, Salvador.

- Really, you never cease to amaze me.
- [CHUCKLES]

At least I'm not as f*cking boring as you.
[CHUCKLES]

Boring? If you only knew.

[CHUCKLES]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

By the way, Jonathan, congratulations.

Good job finding that video.
It was a huge hit.

Thank you very much, Ramiro.
You know you can always count on me.

And Julia and Sami?

- They haven't arrived.
- JULIA: I'm sorry.

JONATHAN: Marcos Sandoval
doesn't want to give interviews.

That's normal.
Which suspected m*rder*r would want that?

We haven't been able to get access to him.

That's the problem
with journalists these days.

They do everything possible.
The real journalist does the impossible.

Good morning, sorry. There was
a lot of traffic. Hi, Julia, everybody.

NOELIA: Wait, who were you nailing?

Didn't say anything about nails.
There was just a lot of traffic.

JULIA: [CLEARS THROAT] Okay.
Let's not get sidetracked.

Marcos is the most important thing.

If he doesn't agree to the interview,
let's think of something else.

All right.

RAMIRO: Okay. Jonathan,
show us what you've got.

Here it is.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

DOVE HEADFIRST! THE END!

JULIA: Seriously?
How can they be like that?

f*cking tabloids.
And they call themselves journalists?

Um, I have something to do. Thank you.

[MUSIC CONCLUDES]

Hello.

Hello.

I miss you already.

Yesterday was very nice...

but it won't happen again.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYING]

- Why not?
- Don't forget I'm your boss.

[SCOFFS SOFTLY]

I'm going to work.

[MUSIC CONCLUDES]

- [OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
- [PHONE RINGING]

- Good morning, Mr. Platas.
- PLATAS: Good morning.

I'm calling because I've kept
my end of the deal,

but I'm not seeing anything.

What's that?

PLATAS: We agreed you were
gonna make me famous, brother.

When can I expect
a special report on me?

RAMIRO: We're preparing it.
Don't be anxious.

Just don't forget about me.

Remember that without me
you'd be dead with this case.

Um, Platas, you and I have

a gentleman's agreement, okay?
Don't worry about it.

I like that. Gentlemen's agreement.

A gentleman is simply a patient wolf. Hmm?

Well, we'll be waiting. You let me know.
