[PANTING]

I understood what my dad wanted
to tell me from the helicopter.

He didn't just go to London
to get me to be his successor,

he also left it written. Come.

Zoé, again with the same thing, honey?

Everything will be alright.
I'm here to protect you, okay?

I'm telling you...
My father left...

-Take her to the doctor.
-Yes, ma'am.

-He knows how to treat her.
-Let's go.

-Come with me.
-Everything is going to be okay.

-Please. It'll be fine.
-The doctor?

-Why...?
-Please. Let me.

No. Mom.

This is the business protocol.

It says Dad wants me
to have a seat on this board.

But there's no signature here.

To be honest, I didn't know
about this document.

I don't know about you, gentlemen.

-No.
-Me neither.

-What's this?
-ZOÉ: It's not signed,

because I told my dad
I wouldn't come back,

but my name is in here.

Yes, it is there.

Many of you have known me
since I was a child.

You know the kind of person I am
and you know...

you know I'm prepared and it was
important for my dad...

I...

He said that...

Are you okay?

Stay calm, Zoé.

I'm sorry.

The news had
very good ratings yesterday,

but Focal Point lost again.

Okay, Andy.

The competition is
eating us up, Matías.

Come on, don't be negative.
It's okay.

-Zoé?
-[ZOÉ HYPERVENTILATING]

Are you okay?

What's wrong? Are you okay?

-ZOÉ: No.
-Andy, please, leave.

-What's wrong?
-Don't open it, please.

What's wrong?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I'm looking for Zoé,
I was told she came in here.

I'm just following
Belén's orders.

Belén?
What are you talking about?

Belén. She's the new president
of Robles and Associates.

But he wants me to go with him
and I don't really want to.

Delfino, thank you very much.
Zoé is here with me

and she's fine, you can leave.

-Please, Zoé.
-Didn't you hear me?

You can leave.

Hey, what happened? Tell me.

-[SOBBING]
-What happened?

-Alright.
-BELÉN: Alright, gentlemen.

I'll ask for
your absolute confidentiality

about what just happened.

Zoé had some problems in the past

and obviously, the death
of her father threatens

to make her relapse.

I don't need to explain
to anyone in here

how hard it is to have a daughter

with mental health issues.

And that's why I'll need
your support.

Please, know this,
Zoé is in no capability

of assuming any role
in Robles and Associates.

remains unknown,

the investigation will stay open.

Now that you mention it,

when I went up to the terrace
I bumped into somebody,

I don't quite remember his name.

Ikal González?

Ikal González.

That's him. Ikal González.

I thought it was weird,

because he was fired
from the company many years ago.

Did you work with him?
Did you know him well?

I knew him, but he wasn't
my friend or anything.

I know he was accused of theft
a long time ago.

Don't worry about that,
we're already investigating it.

Well, it's a pleasure for me
and I hope justice is done.

That things get solved, right?

Is everything okay?

You promised me
you wouldn't get in trouble.

I know, sis, I just didn't want
that to become a big deal

and even less to scare you
because of that.

I know you're innocent.

Mom told me Robles are liars.

And that's why you went to jail.

Mom, why would you tell her that?

So she knows that family does
lend you a hand at first

but then stabs a knife
in your back.

Mom, you know
things aren't like that.

But very similar.

And that will be until life
takes its toll on them

and pays us back for all
the damage they've done to us.

Did you go for payback, bro?

No, no, no, sis.
What are you saying?

No, what I want is justice,
not revenge.

There's a big difference.

-Get it?
-Yes.

and I want you

-to make her feel at home.
-[CHUCKLES]

Well, I'll introduce you.
This is Laura.

-She's our production assistant.
-ZOÉ: Hi.

Without her,
none of this would work.

Between you and I, the show
could work a little different.

-We need to increase the rating.
-Well, a lot.

At the back are
my guys from Editing.

-Hi.
-Stay completely away from them.

Okay.

And Albertina,
she's our star camerawoman.

She's moving to Hollywood
to make a break in movies.

Yay!

And the rest of the team,

you'll get to know
little by little.

Anyway, get to work,
we have a show on Friday.

Anything you need,
there's my office.

-Make yourself at home.
-Andy, just one thing.

Can I sit anywhere?

Do you want to stay here?

Yeah, obviously. Yeah.

I thought you'd choose an office
in the seventh floor.

To be close to Matí
and the executives, you know?

Not at all,
the good stuff is here.

Besides, I don't want anyone
to treat me different

because of my last name, honestly.

Okay. Okay.

I'll see what I can do now.

Do you want me
to give you a tour?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it.

-Let's go.
-I'll follow you.

BARBARA:
Well, there's not much here.

-[HUMMING]
-[PHONE LINE RINGING]

Albertina.

Whose mess is this?

Mine.

You don't need the space.

Could you put this
somewhere else, please?

Please. Yeah?

Thank you.

Get to work!

BARBARA: Yeah, it's not as big
as the dressing room, but...

ZOÉ:
You have a dressing room, too?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course I know Zoé Robles.

I met her when I worked here.

What I'm not certain about is

why she defended you
at the cemetery yesterday.

IKAL: Hello?

Hello?

Hey! Hey! Hello!

Hello! Stay calm. Stay calm.

ZOÉ: Don't come close.

Don't come close.

-Don't come close.
-Fine. Fine.

[ZOÉ SOBS]

IKAL: Hey, please,
think things through.

Think of your family,
for instance.

Who do you think
I'm thinking about?

You don't know me. Shut up.

Shut up.

-What are you doing?
-Nothing.

Nothing. Nothing.

I just want to know how
everything looks from up here.

It's calmer.

-It's as if I didn't exist.
-What? No.

Of course, you exist.
You exist for your family.

For your parents.
Of course they care about you.

Just as my dad used to care...

about me.

Did you know my dad died
in this same building?

He worked as a guard.

[SOBBING]

Are you telling me the truth?

Yeah.

It was just one night.

My dad was doing his shift,

and everything pointed to it
being a quiet night, but...

some guys got in the warehouse
through the roof and...

it seems like my dad bumped
directly into them

and put up a fight...

and that was it.

[IKAL GRUNTS]

♪ [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING] ♪

Yeah, but my real relationship
there was with Mr. Miguel Ángel.

I don't know, maybe life put me
there that night to save her.

That's all.

There's the person
I was looking for.

-Yeah.
-Juan Blanco?

The same.

LAURA: Well,

this is going
to be your work station.

Super. Thank you.

And wrapping up
with instructions,

if you want to get coffee,
go to the seventh floor,

because they have match as,
lattes there,

not the sock water
they give you here.

Alright.

If you need anything, come to me.

I have to prepare Friday's show.

So, girl, a huge kiss.

-Thanks.
-[PHONE LINE RINGING]

You're Laura, right?

Laura Gómez.

I can get you anything you want.
Appointments, sources, permits.

I'm here for you.

Actually, I mean, I don't know
if it's excess of confidence

but I'm looking
for info on somebody

-who worked here a while back.
-Sure, tell me. Yeah.

His name's Ikal González.

-If you find anything.
-Ikal González.

-Address...
-Yeah, sure. I'll check.

-Thank you.
-Listen up, Focal Point!

I was just told
from the Senator's office

that he's not coming.

So, I need propositions
for the public space program.

Nobody leaves here
until we solve it, okay?

So, ideas, ideas, ideas.

-Anyone?
-Yeah, look,

I was thinking we could...

Could you send that
to my email, please?

You can obviously leave
whenever you want.

No, I was just thinking
of checking the shows

you've been making
so I get a better idea.

Yeah, okay. Could you...?

Yeah, sure. I'll send them
right now, alright?

-Thank you.
-Well, answers to the email.

I'm sorry, I forgot something.

You were here before?

Yes.

And why don't you stay?
There's enough room for both.

No, I'll find some other place.

No, no way. I'll pull a chair.

Really. Stay.

Please.

Thank you.

There can always be another
version of the same story,

that's all.

See you.

It's here,
in the Sierra Madre Occidental

where we have to focus
all of our efforts.

Here, here and here.

It's in these three places

where you find
the biggest lithium sites.

For that we should buy
major land extensions.

We need to assign a budget.

Well, but you don't have
to take care of everything.

-[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
-MARC: The priority now is

to appoint Lithiotech's president

as soon as possible.

Have you thought
of somebody, Belén?

Sorry, I need to take this call.

MARC: Yes, of course.

Hi, how are you?
I'm dead nervous.

I've been here
for over an hour and nothing.

It was a bad idea

that you went by yourself.
Why don't you come back?

I don't want anything
to happen to you.

Look, if he doesn't show up
in 15 minutes, I'm out of here.

Okay.

Well, I have to go now.

See you later.

[MARC CHUCKLES]

Everything okay, Belén?
You don't look good.

Very good.

Well, let's continue.

Do you have a lighter?

No.

Good because I'm trying to quit.

I should think about the future.

That's why I look
at my son's picture.

Damn it.

Go on, give me that.

JUAN BLANCO

I have no guarantees.

But if it's any good,
I'm retired.

Miguel Ángel was my buddy
and convinced me to help him,

but I don't want
any more trouble.

Poor guy, he suspected
his wife's moves,

and he wasn't wrong.

Tell me something,

Touch her

-Stop playing the badass.

It doesn't suit you.

I promise you won't see me again.

And there are no more copies.

Miguel Ángel didn't want
