FORBIDDEN WOMAN

Since when do you hit the bottle?

Well… relatively recently.

When you do what I do,

you have to be careful.

-Otherwise, you mess up.
-Hm.

No, I went hard for six months.

Pretty hard.

The only one who could get me
out of it was my mom.

My mom won't see me anymore.

But you look for your mom.

She always forgives you, right?

My mom has been very patient with me.

The first time I stole something
from her wallet, she didn't tell me.

No, and the worst was
when I couldn't help myself

and broke into the company
where she worked.

They fired her for that.

Have you thought about
going to a rehab clinic or something?

I already did,
but I escaped after five days. [chuckles]

Either way,

being locked up in here
is kind of like rehab, isn't it?

-Here, well…
-[chuckles] Listen to this guy.

Oh, Víctor, don't be so naive, man.

What do you mean?

You can get more drugs here than outside.

-Really?
-If you knew…

In fact, watch out, one of these days
I might just end up robbing you.

[laughs]

What are you saying, man? [scoffs]

-Really?
-No.

It's okay. Relax.

Sir, nice to meet you.

-I'm Esteban Arbeláez.
-Oh, of course.

Mrs. Karen's brother, Orduz's wife.

Have a seat, dear colleague.

Thank you very much.

Would you like something to drink?

A coffee is fine.

A coffee, please.

I see you did your homework well.

[Esteban chuckles] Believe me,
it wasn't hard at all.

Especially after the scandal
about the alleged affair

between your sister and Rodríguez,
the singer.

Which was clearly debunked.

Still, funny how you just happen to be…

the singer's legal rep.

How is that funny, sir? That's what I do.

Besides, Víctor has helped
our foundation a lot.

-It's the least I can do for him.
-[chuckles]

If you say so.

[suspenseful music]

What is this?

That is the quickest and easiest way

to keep your client
from tanking his career

over this awful incident.

And the most expensive one, too.

Send that to Mr. Chaparro's family.

I'm a humble emissary.

I'm very grateful
to have received this award.

But I still think that many women
deserved it more than I did.

That doesn't take away from your work.

Honestly, it's really lifted
our spirits at the foundation.

It's given us the strength
to keep fighting

for the women who need it most.

And of course, I love that part
of Alexander's government plan

is focused on programs
and workshops for women.

-[tense music sting]
-He's the change we need.

[Martina] We know a lot
about the important work each of you does,

but little about you as a couple.

Truth is, I've always believed
that happiness should be lived in private.

[Alexander] Family
is the most important thing to me.

Family is everything.
My wife and partner, my son.

They're the reason I wake up every morning
ready to give my all for my country.

Of course, the campaign
has taken away important things from us.

-Time.
-Hm.

-But I have an excellent co-pilot.
-[Karen chuckles]

A woman who gives her all
and sacrifices everything for her family.

She keeps up the rituals we've had
since we got married.

We try to have breakfast together,
have lunch together.

We steal time during the day
to be together too.

And the activities we enjoy the most

are family nights, you know,
I'll make popcorn,

or we'll watch a movie or something.

[chuckles]

[ominous music]

[Débora] The feedback on the interview
has been very positive.

[Alexander] I told you.

You have to admit
Karen is volatile and unstable,

but when she does her work,
she does it really well.

Public opinion recognizes in you
roles like politician,

family man, and tough on corruption.

But what's happening today…

They're seeing your more…

human side.

Exactly.

What matters now is making it go viral.

Get likes.

The only thing you're missing is vision,
Débora, nothing else.

[giggles]

Karen told me
her brother is Víctor's lawyer.

-Did you ask him?
-No.

He told me on his own initiative.

Fear or strategy?

I don't know. I think he made a mistake
and knows the winning horse of the race.

Hm. I don't know.

If that were the case,

she wouldn't have asked her brother
to be Víctor's lawyer.

Zero and counting.

No more scores with Karen.

-How about your friend?
-I didn't call him.

I was waiting to get here.

Hello.

How did it go with Víctor's lawyer?

[Henao] What do you think?

[suspenseful music]

[Víctor] ♪ Come up here and belt it out ♪

♪ And we'll still be at it at dawn ♪

♪ Not specifically tomorrow's dawn ♪

♪ But until we have luck
Back on our side ♪

♪ I don't even know you
But come over here, buddy ♪

♪ And your bitterness
Will be out the door ♪

-♪ If you're lonely… ♪
-♪ Yeah, man! ♪

♪ Come to this table ♪

♪ Where the party
Is just getting started ♪

-♪ If you're sad… ♪
-♪ Yeah, man! ♪

♪ This is the table for you ♪

♪ Where every heartbreak
Every itch and every spasm ♪

♪ As much as any heartbreak, get mended ♪

[all cheer]

[whistles]

Whoa!

Good one, man. Excellent.

Excellent, man. Good one. [chuckles]

Víctor, thank you so much, brother.

-Really.
-Oh, guys,

can I tell you something?

Look,

when you're an artist,
you often dream about…

I don't know,
with a huge stage, full of people.

And we forget sometimes,

that the most important things
are more intimate, and quieter.

So, really, thank you all for this moment.

Bravo!

[man] Good one, Víctor!

Guys, guys, hang on!

I want to say thank you, brother.

Thank you for sharing and brightening
our lives with your music, brother.

[all cheer]

[Castro] Víctor, you have a visitor.

[all hoot]

[emotive music]

Thank you, Castro.

What's up?

-Hey, Víctor.
-How are you?

I thought we were meeting this weekend?

We were.

-So?
-I have news for you.

[suspenseful music]

-Good or bad?
-One is good. The other, hard to say.

Let's begin with the good one.

Chaparro woke up.

And the prognosis,
apparently, is positive.

[gasps] How positive?

At this rate,
I think he'll be discharged next week.

[sighs]

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

Yes, of course I'm okay. It's…

It's very good news.

You know,
I've been thinking a lot about family.

Can you imagine ending up dead
over something this stupid?

Obviously, the case is still open.

There's an attempted m*rder charge.

Clearly, until a judge reviews this,

there's absolutely nothing we can do.

I know.

And on the other hand,
I talked to the man's lawyer.

How did it go?

A real piece of work.

That's what he's asking for.

No.

Why would Víctor pay that money?

I suggested to Chaparro's lawyer
that he offer a financial settlement.

A generous one,
so Chaparro tells the whole truth.

But only if they pay him
the amount he's asking for.

What if he refuses?

If you do, he goes through with the suit
and takes us to trial.

[tense music]

[Débora] Either way, Víctor loses.

If he accepts the deal,
they'll drain their finances.

Due to the production company's
poor management lately,

they don't have that money on hand.

If he rejects the deal,
he's looking at a drawn-out trial.

And on top of that,

Chaparro's lawyer will make sure
to tarnish his reputation even more.

On the other hand, and on another level,

we have to consider the obvious.

Neither Chaparro
nor his lawyer will play fair.

How's that even possible, man?

He was the one with the g*n.

He fired. He attacked Betty first.

But he's already saying
that he felt attacked.

What if he wins?

Look, all this will depend on a judge.

Most likely, what you'll have to do
is pay some kind of compensation,

higher than what they're asking for,

and you may also spend some time in jail.

We're talking about a four
to eight year sentence.

[dramatic music]

That's why I told the lawyer
you needed a little more time.

Time for what?

What? To think?

I don't need time to think, man.

[cell phone ringing]

Honorable Mr. Arbeláez.

How did it go with your client?
Did you talk to him?

He sent you a message.

sh**t.

He'd rather stay in jail
than negotiate with your client.

He won't give a single dime
to whoever did this to Betty.

Are you sure?

I'll see you at the trial, counselor.

Well, I wish you the best of luck.

[dramatic music]

[Daniel] I spoke to Gerardo.

He said my dad asked him for a favor.

He told me to make time to go to the ranch

and get our things.

Of course I told him I'd discuss it
with you and that I'd let him know.

Kitty…

What do you want to do?

I'm asking because if we bring our stuff…

Mm-hm.

Well, why would we go to Mexico?

You already tried that, it didn't work.

I think we could use what's happening

to help you get closer to your dad.

I'm not saying it'll be easy,

or that you'll claim you're best friends
who spend all day together,

like Alexander does with Sergio.

But you two have already hit rock bottom.

What else could happen?

I think it could start to get better.

Any gain is better
than living in this hell.

[emotional music]

Let's try it.

[Fernán] Gin?

[stutters] Six cases of gin?

-Is it too little?
-Little?

Who's going to drink all that?

We have whiskey, liquor, wine,
champagne. What else do you want, huh?

It's for the guests.

You don't say!
How many of you are there? A battalion?

No. Come on, gin? Huh?

Who drinks gin?

Do you like this stuff?

Do you have a moment?
I need to talk to you in private.

Oh.

Okay. If you want to drink gin,
go ahead, but we'll return half of this.

-Oh, Fernán.
-No, Gisela.

Money doesn't grow
on the trees that are out there.

Sure, this house has never lacked money,

but that doesn't mean we should waste it.

[Fernán grumbles]

Let's go.

Watch your cents,
and your pesos will follow.

I hope Gisela
picks up on that maxim quickly.

-Have a seat, man.
-I'm fine, thank you.

What's that?

The papers for the ranch I bought.

You made an offer,
and now that Kitty and I will be in town,

I'll take it.

That and your help
with the renewable energy project.

Wait, hold on.

You're not seriously thinking
I'll cover the cost of that.

You gave Kitty your word when she arrived,

I don't see why that would change now.

It's only fair, isn't it?

-Do you really believe that?
-Yes.

I do. It's the best way
to bury the past and move on.

In the end, that's what Kitty, Doris,
Gisela, even Iván himself, have wanted.

A truce.

Fine.

It's okay.

If that's the cost of peace,
I'm willing to pay.

I shouldn't settle for so little,
but you know what, Fernán?

I'm tired of fighting.

That's good.

[ominous music]

Uh…

Kitty…

wants to be at the wedding.

-Does the invitation still stand?
-Of course.

Absolutely.

It's about resetting everything,
and what better opportunity. Hm?

And I'll take care of that.

I'll call the accountant
to transfer the money,

and the lawyer will call you
to sign the case.

Daniel.

I know saying this out loud
won't change anything, but…

I swear on my children,
who are the most important thing to me,

that I didn't send anyone to hurt you.

[suspenseful music]

[Iván] Does everyone know what to do?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

I'll be back at the ranch
today or tomorrow.

If anything's pending
or needs sorting out,

we'll handle it by phone.

Alberto will be in charge
since Jimmy is gone.

If anything urgent comes up, contact him.

Thank you.

-[exhales]
-Nervous?

Yes, a little.

Don't worry.

I know journalists aren't cut out
for administrative stuff,

but you'll do fine.

I trust you.

If you need anything
or if something gets tricky

and you can't do it, let me know.

We're a call away, partner.

Thank you very much, sir.

How's that favor going?

-About the dead?
-Did you find anything?

Yes, I already talked to a contact
I have at the Registry office.

He said he'd send me the list soon.

The question is, it's only for the town
where your dad has the ranch, right?

And the surrounding area.

Mind if I ask
why you need this information?

Mind if I ask why you're asking
such nosy questions

instead of looking up what I asked for?

Yes, sir. I'm sorry. I'm on it.

As soon as I have the information,
I'll send it over, okay?

Excuse me.

[cell phone ringing]

-Hello?
-Hey, where are you?

In Bogotá.

I had to come early to take care
of some things I had pending.

Among them, your things.

But I'll be back by tomorrow morning
at the latest, or even tonight.

Imagine if I arrive late for the wedding.

-What's more, I'm the best man.
-How's my matter going?

I told you I'm working on it.
Pressuring doesn't help, Daniel.

I spoke to Kitty and Fernán.
I made them think I want a truce.

-I'm not explaining to anyone.
-Good.

No, it's not "fine," Iván. No.

I need a name.

I need to know who bribed Fernán
with my mom's death.

Or I'll open my mouth
and implicate you. And I swear…

sh*t will hit the fan.

Understood?

[suspenseful music]

You didn't have to get angry.

Fernán…

understand me.

You've been married, I haven't.
This is my first time.

-And yes, I want it to be big.
-Yes, sure, it'll be big,

obviously.

You're getting the cake from Bogotá,

you got a really nice dress,

you hired a designer to fix up the house.

Musicians, cooks, waiters. Right?

What I don't agree with
is the wastefulness.

Okay, fine.

If you think we need
all those drinks, we'll have them.

No.

You're right.

We don't need it.

-Are you sure?
-I'm sure.

What's more, after the wedding,
I'll return whatever is left over.

Tell me how it went with Daniel.

I don't know.

What did he want?

Something like a truce.

-That's good, right?
-Well, it should be.

But I know Daniel.

And I know he wasn't very happy.

-Dani, this one?
-Of course.

-Right?
-[Fernán] I know he's up to something.

The question is, what?

[indistinct chatter]

We just need a Chamber of Commerce
and a tax certificate, and that's it.

[Esteban] Still here?

Yes, thank Alexander for bringing Karen

into so much of his political campaign.

He's so annoying.

-What a drag.
-Were you at Víctor's?

How did it go?

What's that?

Víctor's release form.

He'll be out tomorrow morning.

What? [chuckles]

-He has the best lawyer in the world.
-Calm down, big shot.

Calm down. [chuckles]

[upbeat music]

[Esteban] The judge accepted my appeal.

I realized that Chaparro had woken up,

and that Víctor wasn't the one
behind the sh**ting.

Even so,

this is just the beginning.

[suspenseful music]

Víctor rejected the settlement
that had been sent to us.

This means we'll start another trial.

The lawyer said he'd make sure

to ruin Víctor's reputation.

What does this mean?

They're going for the k*ll.

What do they get out of it?

The sh**ter won't grow old in jail.

And for that, they have to make Víctor
the villain of the story.

Could he?

Well, if it were an ordinary person,

that would be very difficult, but…

when it comes to a public
figure like Víctor…

Can they attack from any angle?

And they will.

[suspenseful music]

[music fades]

LOS ANDES DISTRICT PRISON

Look.

This is for the cold, man.

[both laugh]

[whistling and cheering]

Have a good day. Take care.

Take care. Be good.

Hey, man, be good.

All good, man.
Hey, see you, brother. Okay.

Here's a copy of the exit ticket.
Please check it.

And you can also
give me Mr. Rodríguez's belongings.

[Víctor] Yes, sir! Thank you!

[cheering]

It's all good. Good.

Namesake, thank you, brother.

[sighs]

Víctor.

-What's up, brother?
-How are you feeling?

-Much better.
-I'm glad, I'm very glad.

-Look, I need you to sign here.
-Let's see.

We're almost ready.

A lot of people
are outside waiting for you.

Your mom, the press,
fans, many people supporting you.

Thank you, you hear?

My pleasure, Víctor.

-That's my job.
-Hm.

And you're doing it very well.

So much so that lots of them over there
are asking about your services.

-[chuckles]
-I wish I had time to help them.

This is important. There are people
out there who love you, a lot.

There are also those who don't,
who want to see you fall.

So don't make a scene.

All they're after is a scoop.

Keep an eye out, okay?

-I'll try.
-Welcome to freedom.

-Thank you.
-All good.

I'll be outside.

Yes, but Esteban came in
and I'm parked here waiting for him.

Yes, it's been a while. Sure, there are…

There are journalists
and a few people who are waiting for him.

[cheering, whistling]

[Amalia] I think he's coming!
I'll call you when we're at the apartment.

-Saint Judas, thank you!
-[crowd] Víctor!

Thank you. I'm sorry,

-[crowd] Víctor!
-[Amalia] Excuse me.

[crowd] Víctor!

Don't worry about the camera,
César, they're all recording.

Just make sure you ask what we agreed on.

-You said it, sir.
-Okay, let's go.

[crowd] Víctor, Víctor!

Take care. Be good.

-See you.
-Víctor, Víctor!

[woman hoots, exclaims]

[woman 2] We're with Víctor!

[Amalia] Boy.

[crowd] Víctor, Víctor!

[upbeat music]

There, there.

We're over this.

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

-Very well…
-[reporter] How are you?

[Amalia] Thanks.

[clears throat]

It's getting better, brother.

What do you have to say
to all the people who feel disappointed

for what you decided to do?

What's your message to those
who used to say you were a model artist?

[tense music]

Well, to anyone who felt let down
by the way I acted,

all I can say is…

I'm truly sorry.

I was wrong.

[reporter] Right,
it's irresponsible, even shameless,

not to consider what could happen
after falling back into drinking.

Do you really think
a simple "I'm sorry" is enough?

[Víctor] Then what do you want me to say?

[reporter] Not to me. My job
is to tell you what your fans are thinking

and see what answer you have for them.

When you're dealing
with a problem like mine,

it's hard to see
past the moment you're in.

And it's very easy to say, "Oh,
I'll have a drink, nothing will happen."

But it does.

It has consequences, and here they are.

Now, should I have handled it sooner? Yes.

Should I have listened to the signs?
That too.

And I didn't. I made a mistake,

and now I'm facing the consequences.

Everyone who has had an addiction

knows it's not easy to stop.

[reporter] Right, and because of that,
one person almost died,

and there's another in the hospital
praying to walk again.

Okay, gentlemen,
thank you all very much for coming.

We appreciate your support,

but right now, Víctor needs to rest,

be with his family, be with his friends.

Then we'll give you the answers
you're looking for.

-Follow me.
-[reporter] Last question.

There'll be
no more statements at this time.

It's for you.

Is it true that Víctor, through you,
offered a large sum of money

to the opposing lawyer
to have their client plead guilty?

[tense music sting]

I don't know where you heard that,
but I'll tell you this.

That's completely false.

That's what Mr. Chaparro's lawyer told us.

Well, Mr. Chaparro's lawyer lied.

On the contrary,
what Mr. Chaparro's lawyer did

was call us and make us an offer,

which my client and I clearly rejected
as a matter of principle.

So whatever we have to testify to,

we'll do it in court and before a judge.

So, thank you very much. Goodbye.

Don't believe those tabloids.

[woman] We love you!

Víctor, we love you!

After the event,
you have an interview with Channel 132.

We must review the anti-corruption manual.

Thanks, Débora.

-What is it, Jimmy?
-How did it look?

Well…

politically correct.

You can't be serious.

This isn't Iván's newspaper, partner.

You work for me now.

And if I ask you to ruin something,
I expect you to go all the way.

To go for the k*ll.

What about the information on Víctor?

Where is it? Is it useful or not?

It depends what for.

Right now,
I'm focusing on two things in my life.

Winning the presidency

and finishing Víctor.

[ominous music]

[Amalia sniffs]

Esteban, thank you
for what you did, thanks.

-My pleasure.
-We haven't talked, son,

about the fees,
and what we have to pay you.

-That's true.
-No, you don't have to pay me

anything at all.

This is not my job,
my job is at the foundation.

-I'm only doing this because…
-Because Karen asked you to.

And because I know your son, too.

Víctor is a good guy.

He was just a victim of a circumstance,

which is actually destroying him,
and is not true.

But we'll learn what they're doing.

So I have something important to ask.

-Mm-hm?
-We need to keep our eyes wide open.

And please, try to stay clear of any risks

that come with being in the public eye.

Okay, but when you say any risk,

-what is it exactly?
-You can't be in the public eye.

What do you have to do?

No concerts,
no restaurants, no public life,

-no interviews.
-Hold on, Esteban.

You know
what my son does for a living, right?

-Remember?
-Of course I do.

But did you see
how that journalist greeted us?

-Oh, yes. b*stard.
-It's crap, okay.

It's obvious that guy
wasn't trying to inform anyone.

What does that mean?
I think it's an inside job,

which was surely set up
by the lawyer I talked to yesterday.

I told Víctor.

"Víctor, that guy
and the client he's representing

will do everything they can
to tarnish Víctor's name."

That's why we have to be
absolutely on top of everything.

-[Amalia moans]
-Clear?

That Víctor is a star,

that has helped us a lot of times, fine.

But this time, Víctor, it is important
because all eyes are on you.

And if you make the slightest mistake,
you'll pay dearly for it.

If you wanted to calm my mom down,
I don't think we're succeeding.

-No.
-Of course.

-I want you to be at ease.
-No, I understand.

I'm doing my job.
My job is to protect you.

He wasn't just a journalist, Lidia.

[Lidia] Don't beat yourself up about it.

What about the questions he asked?

If you can even call those questions.

It had a hidden agenda,
making Víctor and Esteban look bad.

Karen,

-whatever you're thinking--
-What else do you want me to do?

Should I just sit back
and pretend nothing happened?

[knock on door]

Madam.

Is he here?

He's in her office.

[suspenseful music]

Good luck.

Thank you.

It's political capital, we have to use it.

I propose something.

Let's talk about it
at tonight's event, okay?

We'll do that. It was a pleasure, sir.

Shall we go?

-I'll put this away and we'll go.
-Mm-hm.

I told Débora to go ahead
and organize the event tonight.

[clears throat]

What's wrong?

What's your connection to the journalist
who harassed Víctor and my brother today?

-[tense music]
-What are you talking about?

I guess you saw Víctor's interview
when he got out of prison.

Yes. I did see it.

-And?
-And?

I know about Jimmy, Alexander.

I know he worked for you.

You had him follow Víctor,
and I'm guessing at some point,

you had him follow me too.

You're not denying it?

I don't know
where you're going with all this.

Just connect the dots.

If I tie your friendship with Jimmy
to today's harassment…

-Yes.
-Making a scene--

Karen.

I mean it.

Do you think that such a famous
singer, such a womanizer,

only has me as his enemy?

I don't think so.

But I do think that you're one of the few
who has the power to hurt him.

I don't.

Fortunately or unfortunately,

your protégé
is not on my list of priorities.

I don't believe you.

And since I don't believe you,
I dare ask you for a favor.

-Mm-hm.
-Leave him alone.

He hasn't done anything to you.

Whatever happened was my fault.

You're making me pay really high for this.

-Shall we go?
-Sure.

I meant to go with Mrs. Amalia
to pick him up,

but Betty's surgery got scheduled,
so I took care of the paperwork.

Forget about it, man.

On the contrary, thank you for being here.

My mom says you've been like an angel.

-Thank you very much.
-You're my brother. You're my family.

And Betty?

-Better, right?
-Doing better.

-I told her you were coming here.
-Can I see her? Where is she?

-Four hundred and four.
-Go, go. Go, son.

[dramatic music]

Why the long face?
Aren't you happy he's free?

Of course I'm happy.

[scoffs]

I know the problems aren't over yet, stud.

We're far from that.

Oh, some water. I'm dying of thirst.

Not a drop until after the surgery.

You know.

-You have to listen.
-Víctor.

-May I?
-Don't take too long,

they'll send for her soon.

Yes, don't worry, I won't be long.

-[Betty chuckles]
-See you.

You didn't let us down.

Sure, you made a mistake,
but you're not a bad person.

No water.

-Did you hear, miss?
-None.

I'll be here.

-[Betty chuckles]
-Betty.

-Betty.
-Oh.

Jair told me he was on his way,
but I didn't know if I'd see him.

For you,
I'll go to the operating room if necessary

to wish you luck.

How are you feeling?

So-so.

I haven't stopped thinking about you.
Not for a second since…

Since I got you here.

I haven't stopped thinking
about you either.

[emotive music]

Víctor… that's enough.

The only important thing
is that you're here with me.

You haven't left me alone for a minute.

I…

And we'll never abandon you, okay?

[Alexander] Honesty,

transparency,

and an intramural jail,
effective for those who decide

to break the law, no matter who they are.

That's what this country has been missing

-for a long time.
-[all cheer]

A president

who stands up to the corrupt,

no matter who they are.

A president
whose supporters know who he is.

A president without a mask.

A president
whose feelings you can understand,

and what's important to him.

His family,

his wife,

his son,

the peace and security of a country.

[man] That's it!

Listen, folks,

politics is unity!

[all cheer]

The doctor said the surgery
will take ten to 12 hours.

-[Amalia moans]
-Depending on how it goes,

they'll see if it's fixable
or worse than it looks.

It'll go well.

-It'll go well.
-Yes.

-Yes, it'll go well.
-It'll go well.

We need to tell him--
It would be good if you did,

that there's a recovery phase afterwards.

The therapies are the hardest,
the most painful,

but they're the most important.

And everything will depend on her.

We'll also be cheering her up,
keeping her from feeling low.

[Amalia] They're coming.

[Víctor] Oh my God.

[Betty chuckles] What do you think?

Beautiful. You always looked good in blue.

Of course,
we'll have to change the model, okay?

We have to get out of here.

We'll gather all the saints.

Look, Saint Judas Thaddeus is in charge.

Besides, you're a badass.
And so is the one who's operating on you.

Don't worry, it'll be okay.

Thank you.

How do you feel?

I'm scared to death, to be honest.

Not really. Me too.
I think we all are. [chuckles]

But… we're certain
that everything will work out.

And you'll be back up on those stages,
jumping around in no time.

-[Amalia] That's it.
-I hope so.

What do you mean?
That's how it's going to be.

Get it into your head, girl.
That's how it'll be. Go!

Hey, we love you very much, okay?

I love you. I love you very much.

-[Víctor] You'll be fine.
-[Amalia] My girl.

-We'll be sending you good vibes.
-Blessings, blessings.

[sad music]

[sad music fades]

So, Maria?

Ready for the big party?

What do you think?

Meanwhile, the amazing chef
from Bogotá isn't here yet

to cook the fancy dishes
I'm supposedly not good enough to make.

What do you want?

To give you my part of the task.

You can blame any one of them.

Are these the names?

It's the list of deaths we needed.

[brooding music]

Do you know any?

No, Iván, this won't go well.

Any other ideas?

If you do, I'm listening, but if not,
I recommend you pick a name

and come up with the best story you can.

And think that your life
and your son's depends on it.

[tense music sting]

It's a good exercise for creativity.

I didn't think I'd ever meet
someone worse than your dad.

But you outdo him.

[eerie music sting]

Yes, it's a little far from the house,

but I think it's a good idea
to do the project here.

Plus, the construction
wouldn't be too complicated.

If we go ahead with the studies,
we can start ordering what we need.

I don't know.

Why?

Because my dad is part of it,
and he's the one who's going to pay.

So?

Look, I'll propose something.

Let's put it in writing,
present a solid proposal,

make the adjustments he suggests,
and keep moving forward, okay?

The whole point of this
is to create a good atmosphere.

I don't want him to feel
like we're imposing.

Or that just to go along with us,
he's agreeing to everything we ask.

Okay.

Look at you!

Weren't you in Bogotá?

I was, but…
I left yesterday and came back.

I can't miss this huge event,
especially since I'm the godfather.

How are you?

Fine.

Here, working.

What's this?

This is the project
we were going to do at the ranch.

We'll do it here.

Daniel talked to your dad and he agreed.

We're going all in
and seeing what happens.

[intriguing music]

All right.

-Well, well.
-Mm-hm. Very good.

Now all we need is for this guy and my dad

to make up.

Everyone in this house will be happy.

-Can I steal him for a bit?
-Of course.

He's all yours.

So, is the dress
and everything ready for tonight?

Well, of course!

You're going to die when you see me.

[Daniel] Hm.

I'm sure of it.

See you later.

What will happen to Kitty
when she finds out

the project she is supposed to build

is just an excuse
you made up to distract her?

Because none of that
is going to happen. Right, Daniel?

Don't tell me you're going to pit her
against my dad,

and then when you've got
the power to lock him up,

you just leave her out in the cold.

Iván.

What happens with Kitty
and how I'll explain things to her

is my business,

not yours.

What happened?

You wanted the names
of those who met my dad

on the day I learned everything.

[tense music]

I heard one of them blackmailing him.

[exhales]

Where did you get this?

Before leaving yesterday,
I went into the old man's studio,

I checked his schedule,

and they're the ones
who met with him that day.

Why didn't he tell me yesterday?

Because I know him, Daniel.

I knew he'd go crazy
and who knows what he'd do.

I'd rather stay here to keep an eye out
and see what he comes up with.

Do you know any?

Nah-uh.

No, and you?

I thought to look them up
and listen to them,

perhaps I'd recognize the voice,
but I doubt it's that precise.

So what do we do, Iván?

-We have to rule them out.
-Mm-hm. How?

The person…

who it is,

had to be present
when Fernán attacked Elvira.

But that was over 25 years ago.

[Iván] Precisely.

We have to identify
which one of those people

has known my dad for over 25 years.

[brooding music]

[Daniel] That's not so hard to answer,
is it?

Which of the people on that list
has Fernán known for over 25 years?

[brooding music intensifies]

[brooding music fades]
