01x04 - Collapse

[bunniefuu]

[ominous music playing]

[coughing]

[gasps]

[groans]

Hey. Mister?

Mr. Zenteno?

Mr. Zenteno, are you okay?!

[tense dramatic music playing]

[coughing]

Mr. Zenteno?!

Hey! Can you hear me?

[panting]

- [dramatic musical stinger]

- [Contreras] Rescue teams,

we have a collapse in the pilot area.

- Can you check? I need to know she's okay.

- She'll be okay.

- These people know what they're doing.

- If something happens to my daughter,

I'll die, I won't be able to make it.

- [cell phone beeps]

- We're down here!

Help!

Help us!

- [coughs]

- [tense dramatic music continues]

- I warned them about this.

- Now's not the time, Lucas.

Bernardo's trapped down there.

Focus up. We gotta help get him out.

- Pedro!

- My dad?

[Contreras] He's in the tunnel.

[Jacinta groans]

[intense musical stinger]

Noises are coming from inside.

Must be survivors.

- Is the mine's entrance still open?

- No, it's completely collapsed.

Let's go up top

and bring them out from there.

- We'll get it ready.

- [Pedro] Harnesses, ropes.

Okay, but we have to hurry.

Run, hurry up! Lucas, come here!

[Jacinta groans]

- [Jacinta grunts and groans]

- [tense dramatic music continues]

- Your daughter will be all right.

- She's alive?

- She'll be fine.

- Tell me she's alive.

[music becomes quiet]

Help!

SISTERS' FEUD

Help!

[music fades]

[church bell ringing]

First your son and now you, Antonia.

Hm. Something very serious

must be going on.

- We need to locate Pedro's mother.

- [dramatic musical stinger]

So all of a sudden you want to know

what happened to Teresa Mejía.

- Clara, I'm not in the mood.

- [Clara] Me neither.

The institute burned down

and all our records were destroyed.

What a coincidence

that you're paying us a visit.

Are you insinuating

I might have been involved?

Mm.

You know what?

I'm going to test your memory.

I'll refresh it for you.

[dramatic music playing]

What would happen if the headlines read,

"Director of a beloved

government shelter sells her orphans"?

[music becomes ominous]

The last time I heard about Teresa,

someone checked her

into a psychiatric hospital

after they gave us her young son.

See? That little memory

exercise worked well.

[Clara] And José Luis,

who's Pedro's father,

disappeared mysteriously

immediately after you and Bernardo

had secretly swapped your daughter

Jacinta for Pedro.

[intense musical stinger]

We are doing everything in our power

to ensure our workers' safety.

Please stay calm. Don't panic!

I'm gonna send you a video

of what happened here today.

I'm thinking this disaster

will work in our favor.

[ominous music playing]

[cell phone bleeps]

[loud rumbling noise]

Bernardo! Wake up now! Bernardo!

- Open your eyes!

- [loud metallic clicking]

[metallic creaking]

Hey! We're down here!

Help us!

We're here! Help us!

[ominous music fades]

[Antonia sighs]

I gave him the best life.

Now this f*cking disease

could k*ll him in a year.

How did I not notice?

Look, Pedro's not going to die.

Don't worry,

we'll find more information about Teresa.

[moody dramatic music playing]

[Antonia] Sign this.

- My son is not another object you can buy.

- Your son?

What son?

The one you left at the orphanage?

I had no other choice.

If you care about that child, accept

that he will have a better life with me.

He belongs with me.

- [tense dramatic musical stingers]

- [gasping]

[moody dramatic music becomes quiet]

[exhales]

But his father will demand more than this.

He wouldn't give in so easily.

I wouldn't worry about that.

I'll manage.

You worry about your disappearance

from Durango.

This is the only psychiatric hospital

in Durango.

God willing she's here.

Because if my son dies because of me,

I won't ever get over it.

[moody dramatic music continues]

[woman] That woman must've been here.

[woman sighs]

[woman] Mata, Mesa Mejía.

Teresa Mejía. Yeah.

She was admitted here several years ago.

But she's no longer here.

Oh, was she sent to another center?

No. She ran off.

[tense music playing]

[TV news theme music playing]

[TV anchor] Our team is reporting

live updates as the breaking news

It's possible for someone

to escape from a psychiatric ward?

- I guess.

- of the Zenteno mine remain unclear.

[Orlando] Antonia, look.

that the collapse

may have been a consequence

What do they mean, collapse? Oh, please!

responders have arrived to address

the needs of the injured employees.

We have been able to confirm

that at least two people

are still trapped inside

one of the tunnels

- [Jacinta] Over here!

- and are in need of rescue efforts.

- Workers are attempting to mount a rescue

- Help us!

- We're over here!

- by descending through one of the raises

that serves

as a ventilation shaft and a route

by which supplies are transported

in and out of the mine.

Hurry, Bernardo's unconscious.

You?

[dramatic music playing]

I I couldn't get the rocks off him,

and he's not waking up.

Bernardo's not answering me.

He went to the mine and I don't know

- Now his phone is off.

- Just calm down.

- What do you mean, "calm down"?

- I'm sure he's fine.

You know the problems

coming our way, right?

This is very dangerous for us.

[Pedro] We have to get my dad out.

Quickly! Get him out of here.

We need a stretcher

to lift a slab off of my father.

[man] Get her outta here!

- [Pedro] I'm not leaving my dad.

- I'll take care of him. Go.

[tense dramatic music playing]

- Afraid of heights?

- [Jacinta] No.

Okay, step in here.

And don't look up.

You have to keep your head down,

because sometimes rocks can fall

from above.

- Are you ready?

- Yes.

Now the rope.

Hold on tight to me.

- [gasps]

- [dramatic music builds to a cl*max]

[music stops]

We're ready to go!

[intense dramatic music playing]

[music stops]

Bernardo saved my life.

Why were you there?

[man] Here comes Mr. Zenteno!

My Dad!

[dramatic music playing]

Dad!

- My God.

- [dramatic music swelling]

I love you.

[dramatic music fades]

They're still not answering their phones.

[Ana sighs]

It's okay.

That's normal, baby.

Yesterday they left the hospital furious

after that atomic b*mb they heard.

I know. One sec.

["No Volver" by Sergio González Rosas

and María Mónica Gutiérrez playing]

Tell me what's wrong.

I suppose that being out now

means that I can finally relax a little.

[both chuckle]

Oh, I don't know.

It's strange.

[Ana] Hm.

I'm afraid they might disown me

or kick me out of the house, even.

No, no, no, no, no. Hey. Come here.

[chuckles]

What?

They won't do that.

- You sure?

- You wanna know why?

Why?

Because they're family.

They're your parents.

They won't stop loving you.

Thank you.

[moody music playing]

I'm sorry. You can't go inside.

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

[cell phone ringing]

- Ma?

- [Antonia] Why weren't you picking up?

Are you okay?

Yes, yes, I'm doing fine.

- But But Dad isn't.

- [moody music builds to a cl*max]

He's in bad shape.

- We have to take advantage of this moment.

- [music fades]

Couldn't the mine be the perfect

way to get back at the Zentenos?

- You said that you had many contacts.

- Yes, yes, I did.

Why not get one of them to investigate?

They might get them shut down

for poor management or something.

I know someone

in the government who can help.

The government conceded

that land to the Zentenos.

They could take the land away from them?

I don't know the domestic laws well,

but it's possible.

Then let's start investigating.

I'm sure they've had lots

of ill*gal dealings.

- We'll find evidence and end it. Injuries!

- Yes.

Jacinta was injured. She could have died.

[thumping sound]

- [ominous music playing]

- What now?

Wait here.

[tense ominous music playing]

[music builds to a cl*max]

[music stops]

- Consuelo, right on time.

- Hi!

Come in.

Perla.

[Consuelo chuckles]

- Perla.

- [Perla chuckles]

Consuelo.

Well, I was in prison

only until you and your daughter got out.

It's so great to see you again

because I couldn't

We never even got a chance to thank you.

And, um, we owe her everything. Thank you.

No problem. For Efraín, anything.

Even though he gets me

into these crazy operations.

No more trouble, man.

I'll get kicked out of the police.

She'll help protect you

and Jacinta from harm.

I'm not taking any more risks.

You know that with the Zentenos you

have to be careful. She'll keep you safe.

[contemplative music playing]

Perla and I got along really well when

we were in prison.

- [Efraín] Hm

- But today she was weird.

- Don't you think?

- [Efraín] Weird?

Is she jealous?

Jealous? [chuckles]

- Huh?

- What do you mean jealous?

[contemplative music continues]

Is Perla jealous of us?

But, why would she be jealous if you

and I are just friends, and that's all?

You and I could be more at any time.

[chuckles] Consuelo.

I'm very competitive, Efraín.

Just wait and see.

[Consuelo chuckles]

[contemplative music fades]

[chuckles faintly]

[distant siren blaring]

Uh, Pedro?

- Hey!

- Hey.

Is your father gonna be okay?

[contemplative music playing]

They're working on him, but I don't

[sniffling]I don't know.

Don't worry, he'll be fine.

He won't die, will he? Right?

[door opens]

He saved my life, remember?

[nurse] Your father is still unconscious.

You'll have to wait.

[moody music playing]

This mine accident is such a tragedy.

- We have a tragedy, Julia.

- [music fades]

Our daughter's a

I can't stop thinking

it's all because of that imbecile!

Pedro didn't do anything!

Sofía was very clear!

Ah. And when did you become

such a softy, huh?

- [dramatic musical stinger]

- When I saw my daughter die almost.

That's why the collapse is upsetting.

It's terrible to think of what could've

happened to Pedro or Bernardo.

We have been friends for years!

Well, they're not getting any money,

understand? I rescinded my investment.

They can all live on the street.

How can you talk

about the Zentenos like that?

That family's having a difficult time.

- You've finally appeared.

- [tense dramatic music playing]

Well, I hope you've changed your mind.

Honestly, what is it that you want?

Can't you just be normal?

My daughter! Sofía!

And what is "normal" to you? [chuckles]

A woman with a man, really?

- Everyone calm down.

- I spent too much time being calm.

- I'm not listening anymore.

- [Máximo] Enough girl.

You bring shame to the Urrutias.

[dramatic musical stinger]

[moody music playing]

I don't want to see you when I get home.

Máximo!

Máximo!

[music fades]

Does it hurt very much?

Yes.

Ah, my sweet girl.

I was so afraid of losing you, Blondie.

I don't believe it. Um

[breathing deeply]

I went to make Bernardo pay

for what he did to you.

And the b*stard ended up saving my life,

so I don't want

N don't want to owe a r*pist anything.

- It's okay.

- I can't owe

The most important thing

is that you're here.

You're still alive.

You're with me.

[gentle dramatic music playing]

That man is not worth k*lling. Huh?

It's better if he's alive

and we make him pay.

You know?

Yeah.

- Hm?

- Yes.

[music becomes tense]

My love. [sighs]

I don't understand

why this is happening to us right now.

First there was your illness,

then the mine, your father's condition.

[sighs] We just have to see

what the damn lawyers bring.

- Everything will be fine.

- Yeah.

- You'll see, Mom.

- Yes.

- Hey.

- Doctor, anything about my dad?

Anything at all?

[doctor] He has an intracranial hematoma.

He's in a medically induced coma.

- Will he recover?

- [doctor] We can't say.

- We hope we can help him. Excuse me.

- [tense music continues]

It's all very strange.

First, Bernardo was hurt badly

because of me, and then

[gentle dramatic music playing]

Then Pedro, who got me out.

I don't know.

I feel

- No.

- Uh

- Well

- Stop right there.

Okay.

No, Blondie, I need you

not to lose your focus and to concentrate.

This collapse can get us into their house.

Efraín told us

they are hiding many secrets.

I'll be the one to uncover

ill*gal activities at the mine. Hm.

Yeah, and it's my job

to find a way into their house

- to expose how awful the family is.

- Exactly.

We wanna prove that they're evil people.

And we need some evidence.

We won't be able to send

them to jail easily.

Hm?

[music swells and fades]

We haven't found Teresa

despite our best efforts.

I need you to work a bit harder now.

Drag her out of whatever hole she's in.

[quiet dramatic music playing]

Ask prostit*tes, junkies,

and addicts about her.

Hm?

[Antonia chuckles]

[vehicle approaching]

[music stops]

[intriguing music playing]

[whistles]

Hello.

Have you seen this woman?

It's life or death.

Think about it.

Her name's Teresa Mejía.

[man] I haven't seen her.

Let me know if she turns up.

I don't know her.

I swear, I asked everyone

and no one knows this Mejía woman!

Maybe she's already gone

to meet her maker.

Time is running out.

[man] All right, hold on, bro.

- [church bell ringing]

- [intriguing music stops]

Hi.

Hey.

How are you?

How are you?

I need to say something to you.

If you hadn't broken the engagement off,

I would never have said anything.

What did you say?

You know I'm in love with Ana.

[moody contemplative music playing]

And

Pedro, I thought marrying you just might

I don't know.

Forgive me.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't apologize.

It's not your fault.

If you feel fine, I'm fine.

Even though I've lied all this time?

Even though you lied all this time.

I was

I was so petrified of going

against my parents and

- [music becomes ominous]

- [groaning] Oh, sh*t!

- [groaning]

- What's wrong?

- Hey, sit down. Come over here.

- [continues groaning]

- Please, just sit.

- [music becomes sorrowful]

- What's going on?

- [continues groaning]

I'm just dizzy. I

It's all good.

What's wrong? Tell me the truth.

Do you not trust me now?

[sniffling]

It's kidney failure.

[sorrowful music swelling]

That's why I couldn't marry you.

They said at the hospital

that my only chance is a transplant.

I'll die without one.

I need to track down

my birth parents, or else.

[sniffles]

I only told my ma.

I couldn't say anything to my dad.

[Pedro] He got so mad

after the engagement party.

He blames me for ruining his business.

Then the collapse

And now he's in a coma.

I don't want to hurt them anymore.

[shuddering] You have no idea

how things might change

while you're sleeping.

[sorrowful music fades]

[inhaling]

Our sweet son might be dying.

[intense sorrowful music playing]

[sniffling]

[breathing deeply]

It's unbelievable how

not even all the money

in the world can fix everything.

You know what the worst part is?

[inhaling] If our son dies

it will be all my fault.

[sorrowful music builds to a cl*max]

- [whimpers]

- [music fades]

[Sofía] It's not fair.

So much is happening to you.

Too much.

[sighs]

I have an idea.

Let's get married.

- [dramatic music playing]

- Look, we're best friends, right?

And best friends help each other out.

You're crazy.

My dad says I'm bringing shame

to the Urrutias.

You think I'll be happy this way?

If we get married

then my dad will invest in the mine.

And he'll leave me alone.

Say yes.

[dramatic music swelling]

[Ana] Are you serious?

You think you can come here,

get my hopes up, and play house with me,

and then f*ck me like this?

[Sofía] Try to understand.

This wedding, it would help all of us.

That's bullshit, Sofía! No!

[moody music playing]

The only thing I understand now is,

how wrong I was about you.

[moody music swelling]

Get out of my life.

I mean it, both of you!

[music builds to a cl*max]

[music fades]

[Efraín] You're officially Itzel.

Like you wanted.

Itzel Cubillas.

Okay, then. Sounds good.

[Perla chuckles]

[birds chirping]

I was looking into the possibility

of someone investigating

what happened to you in prison,

just to be careful.

Efra, but you promised this was over.

- They believed those two bodies were ours?

- Yes. Yes, but

They might still trace your name.

- Don't ask me to stay here. Seriously. No

- It's okay.

Everything can be fixed with money.

The head of the search is on our side,

and the director of the prison

he's about to retire.

- And my record?

- Ah, that's That's going away.

There's something else.

There's a suit filed against the Zentenos.

Yeah?! [giggling]

[heartfelt music playing]

Yeah.

My My contact told me

there was poor management of the mine

which they've been covering up with cash.

So it's time for you to start preparing

for your next attack, Perla.

Uh-huh.

Very soon you'll get what you want.

Thanks. Really, thank you.

But now the only thing that I'm worried

about is all of the cash we need, Efraín.

Don't worry about that, Perla.

I know how to get what we need

and then some.

[festive traditional

Mexican music playing]

[knocking]

[man] Zorro, someone's here for you.

Cut the music.

[music stops]

Efraín Medina.

So you decided to poke your head

out of your hidey-hole?

Some debts don't expire.

So let's go collect.

- After so many years? Don't tell me.

- [tense music playing]

You're going after the police

to get them back for firing ya?

Don't be an idiot.

I already know that the people who got

me fired are with the gold mafia.

All right, chill out, dude.

Unless you want a g*n to the head, okay?

[Efraín sighs]

I need to ask you a favor.

I'm trying to help a woman.

[chuckles]

Ruining it all for a dame, huh?

- Help me out, man.

- [chuckling]

I promise it won't be for free.

What are you thinking?

How about a trap for our old friend Buey?

f*ck me.

Old Buey? The man himself?

Yes.

That as*h*le got me fired from the police

force, and I'm gonna get him back.

And I know just how to do it.

That S.O.B. is planning a meeting

to trade gold for a sh*t-ton of cash.

And so? Are you in?

There's plenty to go around.

[tense music builds to a cl*max]

[music fades]

[g*n c*ck]

[quiet tense music playing]

[music becomes ominous]

[Pedro] We're f*cked.

They're claiming environmental negligence.

- They could take the mine.

- I don't know anything about that.

I told you and my father.

We have to start mining sustainably.

Yeah, sure, Pedro,

but that requires so much money.

The exploitation process

focuses on recovering minerals

from the developed areas,

and preparing them

to be shipped directly to a facility

- I don't know how to save the mine.

- [lively dramatic music playing]

Máximo's investment's not enough.

My dad's going to die

if they take away the concession.

[lively dramatic music continues]

[machine beeping]

Let's continue with the impacts

on the environment.

- Uh, some of the areas

- The most important

that are a bit more urgent

[lively dramatic music continues]

Pedro, I was glad you reconsidered.

[Máximo] I'd like to propose a toast

to this beautiful pair uniting.

Cheers.

[lively dramatic music continues]

[g*n blast]

[music builds to a cl*max]

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

Yeah, we're all here waiting

for that son of a b*tch to show up.

That b*stard won't get away.

[Efraín] Pay attention, Zorro.

I need that money and I need answers.

We gotta know who he works for.

- [tense music swelling]

- [creaking]

[music becomes quiet]

- [electronic beep]

- Consuelo, holding in position.

- I'll say when to call in police, okay?

- [Consuelo] Got it. Be very careful.

[tense music swelling]

- How you doing, man?

- [man] Good to see ya.

[tense music becomes quiet]

[man] Looks good.

Very good. Very good.

Go now.

[ominous music playing]

[man] Ambush! Get down!

[dramatic action music playing]

[music becomes quiet and tense]

[Efraín] Surrender, Buey. It's over.

I said I'd make you pay, m*therf*cker.

Who paid you to screw me over?

Who are you with?

You're not police.

And who told you that I'm here, as*h*le?

I was never here, Buey.

[dramatic action music playing]

[van engine starts]

[distant siren blaring]

Consuelo, we have the money

for Perla's plan.

[man] Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go! Quickly!

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you.

[man] Okay, good! Take him away! Clear!

[dramatic action music builds to a cl*max]

[music becomes quiet]

THREE MONTHS LATER

[music fades]

We are grateful that you didn't

press charges after the collapse.

Mm-hm.

I was told that you went to the mine to

ask for a job that morning. Such bad luck.

[dramatic music playing]

[Antonia] See? The dragon is nice and fed!

Not my dolls!

Are you all right?

Yes. Pardon me. It's nothing.

We Zentenos are good people.

Of course we'll compensate you.

[intriguing music playing]

I'm sorry, it's just that

I went to the mine

to look for a job and

that's what I want.

I don't have anything to offer.

You saw what happened.

It doesn't have to be the mine.

How about I work around

your house instead?

[intriguing music becomes intense]

I have to say, Itzel,

I don't know why,

but I trust you already.

I'm going to give you a chance with us.

With Bernardo coming home,

you'll be a big help.

Just promise you won't let me down?

[music becomes quiet]

Of course not.

The gold can be obtained

from three different types of rocks.

And the methods of extraction

are very diverse.

They include mercury and cyanide

Months you spent studying

are paying off.

But what's the point

of studying mining

if we don't have cash to show for it?

[chuckles faintly]

Who says we don't have the cash?

- [dramatic musical stinger]

- What?

We didn't manage to cover

all the shares of the company?

Even with Máximo,

we've only covered 20%.

[dramatic musical stinger]

Naturally a collapse increases

the costs of operation.

What's happening

to the rest of the shares?

[man] They're for sale.

[dramatic musical stinger]

- In fact, my firm has already drawn up

- Sorry, I'm gonna stop you there.

You want us to share our company

with random shareholders?

Unfortunately, we have no choice, Ma.

This is not a solution.

This is a tragedy.

[tense music playing]

ZENTENO GROUP

[intriguing music playing]

I don't understand all this mystery.

It's odd that they made the purchase

of the shares anonymously.

Could it be some foreign investor?

Mom!

Um, the car just got here.

You ready? We have to go see

the new shareholder in the mine now.

[dramatic musical stinger]

[dramatic music playing]

Hi, everyone.

[dramatic musical stinger]

[dramatic musical stingers]

Perla Guerra. A pleasure.

Antonia. Been a long time.
