01x05 - Devenir

[bunniefuu]

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

Bring me a culprit. Otherwise,
I'm going to open an investigation.

The fingerprint you found at the scene,
they don't match.

I need these prints to go away.

PROCESSING RECORD

Jimmy told me that Alexia
was seeing someone other than Marcos.

LEÓN: It must have been someone
in the building.

What if we start suspecting

not those who want to hand over
the fingerprints voluntarily,

but the ones who refuse to do so?

TELLING A LIE CREATES A WEB OF 20 MORE

FIGUEROA:
Do you know what this refers to?

These started coming in at the same time
a guy moved into my building.

Find out who he is, what he wants.

Boss, you won't believe what I found.

Apparently, Marcos and Alexia were doping.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

MALE VOICE:
Did the sheets get stuck to you?

Shut up. I'm open. Get me a smoothie.

MALE VOICE: Okay.

Morning. You're open late, aren't you?

Tell me, what do you need?

How much can you give me for this?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Five hundred pesos.

Come on.

My nephew told me
it's the one with three cameras.

One thousand pesos. Take it or leave it.

All right.

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

PRIME TIME

- Good morning, Clarita.
- Good morning, sir.

BERNARDA: Good morning, Clarita.
Are those the oatmeal ones?

- Yes, ma'am.
- I didn't hear you when you got up.

Where are you going so early?

To work.

You remember we have the appointment
today, the commitment with Lima, right?

Yes, I do. I remember.

JIMENA: Morning.

Hello, my love.

- You look tired. Hmm.
- Leave me alone.

- I stayed up late watching a movie.
- Which one?

- Crimes and Misdemeanors.
- Mm.

- BERNARDA: What's that one?
- It's really good.

It's about a man who k*lled
his lover and feels no remorse.

Not sure if I've seen it.

You haven't seen any movies.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHUCKLES]

- Is it all there?
- It's all there.

If they ask you, you tell them
you gave it to me yesterday.

Okay.

Good.

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE

MONARREZ: Where were you
at the time of Alexia Valle's death?

I was riding my bike halfway across town.

Oops, that doesn't sound like
a very good alibi to me.

Well, with those bodies, I can tell
you guys don't even play marbles.

What? [GROANS]

Listen. Is there any way
you can corroborate that alibi?

I talked to more than 20 people
that night.

Names? Names.

Write them down, champ.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[SCOFFS]

EVA: What's the urgency?

BERNARDA: Well,

I think it's very clear
that we both have different interests

and a different vision for this business.

I think you are right,

you should not be tied
to something that does not satisfy

your needs,
let alone your economic expectations.

It is not just the economic aspect,
Bernarda.

Look, here are some
of the company's documents,

here is the balance sheet. The inventory.

And we prepared a contract for the sale
and purchase of your shares.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

Salvador Lima?

It's the solution I found to separate us
and pay your share.

I'll think about it.

It's what you wanted.

Yeah, but if Lima's here,
that means there's a lot of money.

Don't complicate it.

You and I, we move in the same circle,
and it's very small.

This is a generous offer, you know it.

Take your time. Check it out.

ÁLVARO: I want to give more thought
to this Altamirano situation.

Well, I don't think
we should make a big deal out of it.

Sooner or later, the other candidates
will come, and then what? What do we do?

No, I thought you should interview him
at home,

with his family, one-on-one,
in confidence.

- [SIGHS]
- Let everyone identify with him,

as a good father,

- a good husband.
- That's pretty hackneyed, Salvador.

Everybody does it,
and nobody believes them.

The public has to listen to him.

And people believe what politicians say?

Let's make it simple.

You know I know how to do interviews.

We set it up well, we pretend
we're backing him into a corner,

and at a certain point, he comes out...

as the hero of the movie. Think about it.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

- I like that.
- RAMIRO: That way you look good for him.

I like that.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Snitch.

f*ck you, teach.

Here he comes.
Coach Uriel, for The Whole Truth.

After being with the prosecutors...
Calm down, put the camera down, please.

URIEL: You're f*cking with me, as*h*le.

- MALE VOICE: What's up?
- FEMALE VOICE: Are you all right, man?

- URIEL: Get out of my way.
- [INDISTINCT CLAMOR]

MARCOS: Who can guarantee
that they won't lose this?

What? That doesn't happen here.

I mean, some evidence can get lost,
like the fingerprint at Alexia's house.

LAWYER: If I were to tell you
how many times

these gentlemen have lost evidence.

PLATAS: And if I were to tell you
how many times the lawyers

have freed murderers, criminals.

Something that would not happen if you
knew how to assemble a file properly.

Can you get an early DNA test?

Don't worry, because with the evidence
you provided,

you're going to get out of this.
You have my word on that.

URIEL: [OVER TV] I don't understand
why they involved me in this case.

I established my alibi.

I was surrounded by people that night,
during the night ride, the bike ride.

INTERVIEW WITH URIEL

INTERVIEWER: They connected you
with doping in the Olympic team.

I don't know of any case of doping
in my athletes.

If Alexia Valle did it,
it must have been because...

- What?
- URIEL: ...she pushed herself very hard.

INTERVIEWER: Uriel, we would love it
if you could tell us more.

They beat us to the punch.

Mexico has lost one of its best athletes,
one of its best representatives,

- and we will always...
- JONATHON: No way.

- ...cherish her in our hearts.
- No sh*t. They stole our story.

We were so stupid.

- "We"?
- Yes, we were.

Yeah, my top producer.

Holy sh*t!

[DOORBELL RINGING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

DELIA: Wait up.

JIMENA:
Alexia's coach shouldn't have said that.

DELIA: It doesn't matter, Jime.

My real pain
is that I'll never see her again.

Come in.

How many times did you sleep here?

In this very bed with her?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I am so disgusted.

DELIA: Look.

[CHUCKLES] She won
her first gold medal with this one.

Let me fix it.

We were family.

You understand we're not anymore.

It's just not fair.

I can't control my dad,

no one can. I never thought
he'd do anything like this.

Now, I realize that he used me.

He just wanted exclusivity, the ratings.

My dad admired Alexia.

Come.

Look. Put it on.

Alex...

would have loved for you to keep it.

Thank you.

Can I tell you something?

I don't want you to think of this
as a grudge.

But... stay away from your dad.

Professionally, he's not healthy for you.

You're a very talented girl
with a lot of potential.

Professionally, you have to choose
your own path.

Your dad is not a good person.

URIEL: [OVER TV] And we will always
cherish it in our hearts.

They took away our story.

We got it,
and now we don't have access to it.

And what did you expect?

I mean, because Uriel was subpoenaed
to make a statement

and the prosecution is treating him
as a culprit.

As it happens,

we're the only media
that can sneak in our reporter.

What are you trying to tell me?

Are we in collusion with the police?

- JULIA: Noelia.
- Do we have a hawk in there?

Don't make accusations
that splatter us all.

You knew, Julia?

I'm sorry.

Well, she's right.

It sounds like we were collaborating
with the prosecution.

No, we got a tip from a source.

There was an opportunity,
and we took it, and that's it.

It's just that we have changed the agenda,
and we have some unfinished reports.

In my show,
the agenda is dictated by the story.

Okay?

I'm going to work.

b*stard.

After the DNA test,
you'll be out of this one in a month.

And since we know the test won't match,
they're gonna have to let you go.

I got a bad feeling.

Man, relax. You're not alone, you got me.

I have it covered.

- When will they take this sh*t off me?
- [SIGHS]

I'm already working on it.

A trial can't use criminal actions
to sentence anyone,

even if they're guilty.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Finally.

Hello?

Yes, it's me.

What's that?

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Okay, but I'd like you to reconsider...

just reconsider a...

I did hear it, there's...

Thank you.

They denied the house arrest,
you're gonna spend the night here,

and they'll take you to jail
early in the morning.

Don't worry, because we still
have an infallible resource.

You'll see.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- ÁLVARO: Well,

we've been straightening out
our business at the stock exchange.

The company is doing very well.

BERNARDA: But you went public
a long time ago, didn't you?

- ÁLVARO: Uh-huh.
- BERNARDA: How long ago?

- ÁLVARO: Almost a decade.
- BERNARDA: That fast?

Well, how long have we known
each other? [CHUCKLES]

Jimena was just a child.

- Do you remember?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, Jimena would rather work with you,
wouldn't she?

BERNARDA:
You know Jimena wants to be like her dad.

ÁLVARO: Yes.

BERNARDA: It wouldn't be a bad idea
for her to work with me.

And what does Ramiro say
about our business?

Mm. I haven't even had a chance
to tell him.

ÁLVARO: Look.

- Now's the time.
- Hi.

How are you, my love?

Yes, thanks.

What happened with the coach?

Nothing, it was nothing. A false lead.

He's being investigated for doping,
but that's all.

So, the girl was doping.

RAMIRO: We'll have to wait
for the toxicology report.

People have two...

even three faces.

Do you know that the word
"person" means mask?

Yes, like the theater masks.

The ones used by actors
to pretend to be what they are not.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- ADALBERTO: Salvador.
- Hello.

- Look, this is Ramiro Del Solar.
- How do you do?

- Good evening.
- And his wife Bernarda.

- How do you do?
- Nice to meet you.

This is our candidate.

Adalberto Altamirano.

RAMIRO: Ah.

It's about time we met, isn't it?

- Yes. [CHUCKLES]
- [ADALBERTO CHUCKLES]

- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

- A drink? Hey, guys.
- Sure.

- Your show is excellent.
- Thank you.

- Let's toast.
- Cheers.

- Cheers.
- To business.

To the project.

To politics.

- To you.
- And to your show.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

How long are you gonna keep this up?

Until I feel like it.

I already apologized to you, didn't I?

One apology is enough, isn't it?

What more do you want?

A bouquet of roses?
Shall I call the mariachis?

- [SCOFFS]
- Shall I serenade you?

A serenade wouldn't hurt.

Ah. You look beautiful today.

Too bad you have to sleep
in the other room.

With the dog?

Which dog?

- [GROWLS] This one.
- [LAUGHS]

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

VIGIL FOR ALEXIA VALLE

[MUSIC FADES]

LEÓN: Any news?

MDMA traces were found on her.

Ecstasy?

DOCTOR: Makes sense.

Pleasure enhancement, party mood.

- LEÓN: Uh-huh. And the doping?
- Nope.

I never thought I'd find anything.

Her coach was trained in Russia,
and they know how to erase any trace.

I know them well.

Besides, I don't think

any of this has anything to do
with what happened to Alexia.

What do you have in mind?

Because the camera thing
didn't go any further?

Not the camera thing, the lock thing.

- DOCTOR: What lock?
- The lock on the emergency stairwell door.

It was unlocked.

- But that's premeditation, isn't it?
- And not exactly m*rder.

Wait, I don't follow.

But I do, huh?

[FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING]

LAWYER: Relax, Marcos. [CLEARS THROAT]
I'm going to get you out.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- You better make it fast.

Yeah, I'm only gonna work on your case.

Ready, Mr. Sandoval?

Let's go.

We're going to help you, counselor.

We're gonna take him out
through another door

so he won't be bothered by the press.

- Thank you.
- We're going to help you.

Billy. Call Don Gonzalo.

Tell him it is about Marcos Sandoval.

Yes, urgent.

DELIA: It's beautiful.

I hope the press doesn't ruin it.

The press will be here,
we just have to ignore them.

Remember Nicolas Montero?

- Yeah.
- That guy from the soap operas, the actor,

who went ballistic

and threw his girlfriend off the balcony
at a party.

From the sixth floor, man.

He sniffed everything,
even the hotcake flour.

Yeah.

And that chick was a queen,
a soap opera queen. What was her name?

Alana de Alba.

- Alana de Alba de Platas.
- Yes.

I knocked a few out over her for sure.

Poor guy, right? Ending up dead
in a prison is ugly.

Well, yeah.

Well, he didn't accept the negotiation.

He was a good guy.

Yes, we told him, "This is good, accept
this negotiation." He didn't want to.

- I liked that guy...
- A good guy?

Didn't he throw his ex-girlfriend
off the balcony, six stories?

Yes. Well, he wasn't gonna
last long in the joint anyway.

He k*lled himself.

Three stab wounds in the back, remember?

He was very flexible.

With full force.

My king, your time has come.

Let's go, boys. Here's the inmate.

I have an alibi.

Wait, what do you mean? f*cking as*h*le.

Shall we wait?

Wait a bit. Move.

Didn't I tell you, m*therf*cker?

I want to cover the vigil.

Well, you're going as a journalist,
not as a feminist.

It's not something
I can turn on and off, Ramiro.

I always do my job with objectivity,
if that's what you mean.

Yes, that's what I mean.

Hey, Delia doesn't want there to be press.

I'm going as part of the family.

Are there going to be men there?

Don't know.

You'd better go with a camerawoman.

Let's see if there is one,

because it's hard for a woman
to get a camera here.

No, where are you going?

Well, now that the topic has come up,

don't you think it's dangerous to say
that men are bad and women are good?

Well, yes, but you don't get harassed
and humiliated after being r*ped.

You are absolutely right,
but not all of us are rapists,

there are some of us
who do open our hearts,

love, and show our vulnerability.

Well, yes,
but you also pander to each other.

In this country,
an accused r*pist can be governor

- or ambassador of UNESCO...
- That doesn't happen only in Mexico.

You're getting worked up...

- What's wrong with you?
- Please!

- Take the discussion elsewhere.
- I trust...

Yes, I trust you can do this
as professionals.

Thank you.

- And if now...
- Thanks for the assistance, Noelia.

[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]

- Sami.
- SAMI: Yes?

Can we talk?

- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing's wrong.

THE WHOLE TRUTH

We're a team...

WITH RAMIRO DEL SOLAR

...and you're going behind my back.

Why were you talking to Ramiro
the other day?

Why are you secretly doing things?

I don't have to tell you everything I do.
Ramiro's my boss too, ask him.

Yes, you have to report to me.

I am your boss.

You yourself have questioned
the decisions Ramiro has made lately,

and now you ally yourself with him?

I thought you and I
had a special connection,

and you were picking up some chick
at the bar.

Sami...

don't confuse things.

Who said you and I had a relationship?

[EXHALES]

I get it, okay.

Mess with whoever you want.

But don't pretend you care about me.

Anything else?

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

No.

Nice family.

I never wanted to have children.

With this profession,
I don't know how you do it.

Why are you here?

I'm here to check on the progress
of Alexia Valle's research.

And what makes you think
I'm going to show you my progress?

Why don't you do your own investigation?

Are you gonna make me bother
the attorney general to give it to me?

I will personally give you a copy
when I can.

LEÓN: Thank you.

What did you get on Marcos's alibi?

That's none of your business.

LEÓN: And what are you going to do?

As we speak, Marcos is being released.

He'll be exonerated.

And what would you say if I told you

that I could open up
a new line of research for you?

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

I would tell you that I am all ears.

We already know that many times
the culprit is someone close.

Why don't we ask Alexia's relatives,
friends, neighbors

for their fingerprints?

You know perfectly well
that there are no fingerprints.

But it hasn't been leaked to the press.

[LAUGHS]

[BOTH LAUGH]

Do you have any f*cking idea
how bad the prosecution would look?

It would be career suicide, man.

Is your career more important
than knowing what happened to that girl?

[FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING]

RAMIRO: Come in. Sit, Jimena.
What did you want to talk about?

I've been talking to Delia.

Yes, I know.

She is pretty upset and very disappointed
with the way you have been acting.

- What did she expect? I'm a journalist.
- We're her family.

[SIGHS] Look, honey,
I don't want to talk about this with you.

You know what?

- I'm very disappointed, too.
- Disappointed?

Yes. And you know why?

Because if it hadn't been for us,

no media would have even guessed
about Alexia's doping.

You tarnished her career forever.

Is it my fault she doped?

- Don't f*ck with me!
- RAMIRO: Don't f*ck with me!

And stop going around visiting Delia
and running errands for her against me.

Hmm?

If you let these things
interfere with your work,

then you have no journalistic blood
and you're no good.

JULIA: I'm sorry.

RAMIRO: Come in, Julia.
Jimena was just leaving.

JULIA: Yes, sorry.

Are you all right?

- What did you say to her now?
- You don't sh*t where you eat.

- I'm sorry?
- Look, Julia.

Fix your little mess with Sami,
and fix it now. Hmm?

[GLOOMY MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Do you know where Jimena is?

- She's in the bathroom.
- Thank you.

Jimmy?

Jime?

Jimmy?

Jimmy?

Are you okay?

Jimmy...

open up.

Jimmy!

Open up!

What happened?

Please, don't tell anyone.

Sweetheart, I thought you were better.

Don't ask me to explain.

No, my love. Of course, I won't.

Come on. Come.

[GROANS]

Why are you doing this to yourself, Jimmy?

It's liberating.

[SIGHS] I think you seriously need
to change your therapist.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Don't you have something stronger?

You're on medication, right?

Linden tea is perfect.

Was the fight with your dad that bad?

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Relationships require us to accept
the ones we love just the way they are.

And I know your dad can sometimes
be very difficult, but...

he's a good guy.

It's just that he says horrible things
when he gets angry.

But he always, always regrets it.

- You're very understanding.
- I don't know if that's a virtue.

Alexia and I were a couple.

We were never officially girlfriends.

But I was in love. [EXHALES]

And for her, I was just a phase.

That's why it hurts me so much,
what my dad is doing to her.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS] Jimmy.

Come here.

I'm so sorry.

You're sad and vulnerable.

Romantic love ruins everything.

You don't need this from me.

You need something else.
But you'll find it.

ALL: [CHANTING] Sisters, they k*ll us!

JUSTICE FOR ALEXIA

ALL: Sisters, let's fight!

Let the murderous male fall hard!

Without fear we fight!

WE WANT TO LIVE

ALL: Without fear we sing!
Sisters, they k*ll us!

Sisters, let us fight!

Let the murderous male fall hard!

Without fear, we fight!
Without fear, we sing!

Sister, they k*ll us!
Sisters, let us fight!

Let the murderous male fall hard!

Mrs. Delia, do you trust there
will be justice for your daughter?

What did we agree on, Noelia?

- I have to cover it, sorry.
- Marcos was exonerated,

- what can you tell us?
- Please,

I'm not here to answer questions
to the press.

FEMALE VOICE:
This is not a press conference.

I'm here out of love for my daughter.

We have gathered to...

to remember who Alexia was.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

A young athlete.

Cheerful.

Flawed, like everyone else.

Was Alexia doping?

I don't know if she doped or not...

but that's the least of our interest.

Because it is not her or her life
that is on trial.

It is not her who is accountable,

but the person who was with her
at the moment she died.

Not one more.

ALL: [CHANT] Not one more!

Not one more! Not one more!

Not one more! Not one more!
Not one more! Not one more!

Not one more! Not one more!

Oh, sweetheart.
Shall I make you some dinner?

No, Mom. I'm exhausted,
I'm gonna go to bed.

I'm so proud of you.

It was very nice what you did with Delia.

Thank you, Mom.
She's very important to me.

I know she is.

- You rest.
- Rest.

[POUNDING ON DOOR]

PACHECO: Good night. Mr. Ramiro...

He's expecting me.
I have an appointment with him.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Mr. Ramiro Del Solar?

No. Well, he's taking a bath.

It's just that I was supposed to bring him
my card, because he misplaced it.

Perfect. I'll give it to him.
I'd be glad to.

Pacheco, at your service.

Hey, what a beautiful painting.
So beautiful.

[SLOW UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Holy sh*t.

PACHECO: [LAUGHING] Yes.

It must have been someone very famous,
because 4,000 dollars for a painting,

- just imagine.
- Conceptual art is not for everyone.

- I would say for no one.
- [BERNARDA LAUGHS]

Honey. [CHUCKLES]

Why didn't you tell me
we had such a funny neighbor,

- a financial genius?
- [LAUGHS]

Good evening, Mr. Ramiro.
I brought you my card as we'd agreed.

I'll hold it for you. I'll keep it.

- PACHECO: Thank you.
- Yes, Mr. Pacheco...

- Andrés.
- BERNARDA: Andrés.

He came to invite us
for dinner at his house,

and, well, he has an interesting proposal

- he wants to tell us about.
- As you can see, it's not a good time.

I'll let you know when it is. Good night.

Sure, I understand. [CHUCKLES]
I understand.

[SCOFFS]

He had the nerve to come into my house.

FIGUEROA: [LAUGHS] Your fan.

What did you find out?

FIGUEROA:
I already have some information,

but nothing is confirmed.

Hey, why don't you give me the green light

and we'll talk to him?
We'll warm him up, and then we'll talk.

Do what you gotta do,

but I don't want that f*ck
coming near me

or my family again, all right?

FIGUEROA: Yeah, boss.

f*cking assholes.

The world doesn't revolve around you.

THERAPIST:
Who does the world revolve around?

The sun.

- And?
- And the sun's name is Ramiro Del Solar.

Did something happen with him?

- He doesn't look the same.
- THERAPIST: He doesn't?

How do you see him?

I can't believe he doesn't care
how Delia feels.

Well, that's a big change.
That you've noticed that difference.

[NOELIA LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY]

JONATHON: That was some slap!

Come and see this beating! My God!

- My God! [LAUGHS]
- Such a strong punch.

Hey, I want to show you something.

[NOELIA BREATHING HEAVILY]

Take a look.

HOUR ZERO

- Do you like it?
- Not bad.

Hey, what if we continue working
on the disappeared and forensics?

Yes, that would be good,

because what happens
to these families is really f*cked up.
