01x05 - Doubts

[bunniefuu]

[tense music playing]

[grunts]

[groans]

[breathing shakily]

[Octavio] How do I know my dad's alive?

I need to see proof.

I'll give you whatever you're asking for,

but I need to know he's okay.
Put him on the phone. Let me talk to him.

[tense music builds]

Listen, as*h*le.

You've heard of Magic, right?

Uh-huh. You have the honor
of speaking to him.

You'll deliver Claudio to me in an hour
at the car pound in Las Armas.

If not, I'll hang you
by your f*ck' intestines.

[call cuts off]

See, I told you.

I didn't lie to you, Magic.

Help me.

Please.

Untie him.

The only way this works is
if you do exactly what I say.

Sir, your food's here.

UNSPEAKABLE SINS

[music fades]

CAMINO LARGO CLINIC

I don't like this place.

I don't wanna stay here.

Fer, they'll be able to help.

Octavio knows all the other centers.
He won't find you here.

Mom, stop trying to protect me from him.

I need to take responsibility
for what I did.

You did nothing wrong.

-Mom, I k*lled him.
-No, you didn't.

You're still detoxing.

When your head's clear,
you'll see it was a hallucination.

I'm just tired of being a burden for you.

Don't say that. No.

You're not a burden.
You're never a burden.

Look, I know I could be a better mom,
but you're the best thing in my life.

I love you more than anything.

You'll beat this, okay?

How do I know you're telling me the truth?

Well, you have my laptop

and I'm sure you saw my profile
and the photos from Helena.

That's pretty clear evidence, right?

Don't leave the country.

-You'll be required to report for--
-[phone rings]

I told you, I'm not taking calls.

What? Uh…

Wait, both officers are dead?

[tense music playing]

[Magic] When you get
to the prosecutor's office,

tell them I kidnapped Claudio
and you need 25 million dollars.

-They only want five.
-Ask for 25!

That's what your dad owes me.

And I want all of it.

[tense music continues]

There's no doubt about it,
our father's alive.

How do you know?

[Octavio] Magic put him on a video call.

It was him, no question.

So, he's alive.

He's okay. Dad's alive.

[Helena] How much money
does Magic want for ransom?

Twenty-five million dollars.

[man] Is this Octavio's cell?

[Magic] Yes.

That's the number
that those assholes are gonna call.

Make sure everything's properly set up.

If we manage to free him,

Claudio will still be in debt to me.

Once they've got him, how will we know?

[phone rings]

Speak of the devil. [chuckles]

[phone continues ringing]

Yeah?

[man] You got the cash, m*therf*cker?

This is Octavio Martínez's lawyer.

My client is willing to negotiate

when and where
you want to meet to get the five million.

[Livia] I don't get it.

Why was my dad doing business
with that as*h*le?

And why the hell
does he owe him 25 million dollars?

-I'd sure like to know that too.
-[Helena] What do you think, Pablo?

What do you recommend? What should we do?

You should get the money now.

You don't try to negotiate
with people like Magic.

My dad's partners froze
all his accounts when he disappeared.

I could sell my land in Tulum.

Oh, for f*ck's sake, Livia.
How much is it worth?

Three, four million?

[scoffs]

I'll talk to the partners.

-Think they'll listen to you?
-I'm his wife. I can stand up for him.

Right?

I can convince them
to unfreeze the accounts.

You were looking for videos
last night, Octavio.

[tense sting]

Do they have anything to do
with his kidnapping?

[Helena] Come on.

Do you seriously think your dad and I
have secret videos hidden somewhere?

Either you give me 25 million dollars,

or you find those videos.

-[sighs]
-Those are your options.

I'm giving you the opportunity to choose.

Otherwise, I k*ll you.

Your choice.

I got it.

But what on earth is on those videos?
What the heck am I looking for?

When you find them, you'll understand.

Why are they worth so much to you?

Pure power.

Okay. Those videos don't exist.

-Okay.
-[Octavio] Case closed.

The important thing right now

is to get the partners
to unfreeze those accounts, right?

You think Claudio has access
to those videos or made copies?

No, I don't think so.

I want my video.

[tense music playing]

I'm surprised you're even asking me.
It's my only guarantee of your loyalty.

Don't worry about it.

If you play nice,
that video will never be released.

There's something you should know.

Iván Díaz came to my office.

Helena and the prosecutor
are up to something.

Did you know she spent the night
at his office?

She was there? Last night?

That's what she said.

There was something going on
when they left just now.

I don't think we can trust Helena.

We can't trust the prosecutor either.

Think I don't know that?

But I can't shut her out right now.

She has the most power
over the company's board.

We'll need her help
to get the ransom money in place.

You can't hold me here
without any evidence.

-I know my rights, and I have the right--
-[Ortega] Yeah. We know.

You have the right to an attorney.

You get to have one phone call.

I'll give you the number
for a human rights lawyer.

So, what's the story?

You work for Magic?

I have no f*cking idea who Magic is.

-Oh, you don't say!
-[Iván grunts]

I gave everything I had to the prosecutor.

Oh, yeah?

-You wanna keep that pretty face of yours?
-[Pablo] Let him go, Ortega.

-He hasn't finished spilling his guts.
-Let him go!

[tense music playing]

What are you doing here?

Are you okay?

What'd they do to you?

Pablo?

Mr. Diaz, my deepest apologies

for the unjustifiable way
my agent just treated you.

I can assure you
I will take care of the matter.

[Livia] Helena is not
who we thought she was.

I wouldn't be surprised at all
if she planned the whole kidnapping thing

just to get her hands on Dad's money.

-Check this out.
-[keyboard clacking]

They found this on a computer
belonging to Iván Díaz.

A male prost*tute.

He f*ck rich ladies, including

our lovely stepmother.

[Livia exhales]

Listen, Livia.

I know you and I have had our differences.

But we're all that's left of this family.

You're the only person I can trust.

I think we both want the same thing.

We want our dad to come back.

You may not believe me, Octavio.

But if something had happened
to you today,

I swear, I would've been
completely gutted.

[music fades]

Who the hell are you, Helena?

How can you influence
the district attorney like that?

-I have contacts.
-That's not just contacts.

It was like
you had that as*h*le by the ba*ls.

You're free. That's what's important.

Do you have videos of him f*cking Claudio?

I need to understand
what the f*ck's going on. This is serious.

-You're so sexy when you're angry.
-Oh, f*cking hell, Helena!

I'm not your precious little sex toy.

I wanna make love.

And you want it too.

f*ck me.

[tense music playing]

[panting]

I need to know the truth.

[panting]

This is the truth.

What we feel for each other is the truth.

[both panting]

[music fades]

Did you have anything to do
with Claudio's kidnapping?

-No.
-What is this about? Why did you use me?

I didn't use you.

Do you have a video
of the prosecutor, yes or no?

I don't.

Last night,

I saw you searching
the Valle house like crazy,

and I heard you
clearly say the word "videos."

Helena, I went
into the lion's den for you.

I didn't say a word to those apes
at the prosecutor's office for you.

I deserve to know
what kind of sh*t I'm in now!

If I told you, I'd have to k*ll you.

[chuckling] It's a joke.

Iván, I'm pulling your leg.

Pablo told me what you told him.

Mr. Claudio Martínez created
a false account using his wife's name,

Helena Rivas.

He contacted me using that account,
knowing I charge for my services.

So you admit
that you work as a prost*tute.

No, I'm an escort.

He offered me a lot of money
to, uh, seduce her.

Apparently, he wanted
something to have over her.

The plan consisted of me
pretending to be a journalist

and seducing her.

You're a genius, you know?
I would've never thought of that.

When I heard you were
in the prosecutor's office, I got scared.

I thought you were gonna rat me out.

And you did the opposite, you saved me.

[inhales deeply]

I was also saving myself.

Just remember,

we're in this together,
and if we start to mistrust each other,

-we'll be totally screwed.
-Mm-hm.

If you had asked me a month ago
what I wanted the most,

I would have said I wanted Claudio dead.

And now here I am trying to get money
for his f*cking ransom.

I don't get it. Why are you the one
trying to get the money together?

Because I'm his wife.

I've got to show the world
how concerned I am for his well-being.

Now do you see?

Aw… Iván.

Come on. Please.

[chuckles]

[Sofía] Search.

CRIMINAL RECORDS

Livia Mar…

Here she is, Livia Martínez Salcedo.

CRIMINAL RECORD

[suspenseful music playing]

[new age music playing]

My father has been kidnapped,

Fernando is at a clinic,
and you think I want to have sex?

That is exactly…

why I think you should have sex now.

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[whistle trills]

[man] Good morning, you young dreamers.

Come on, you're our country's hope.

I want you up
and ready to go in five minutes.

-[groans]
-Okay?

Up and at 'em!

Come on, let's go.

You've gotta be kidding me,
it's only six o'clock.

Better hurry up then.
I want you ready in four minutes.

[fake crying]

[Sofía] Wow, this is spectacular.

No, I swear to God, I always thought
your house would be more like…

like… your life.

-[chuckles]
-Like my life?

-You mean beautiful?
-Ah, yeah.

No, I mean full of sh*t, you degenerate.

Oh, nice, a cop with a sense of humor.
Good to know.

[exhaling] I'm joking.

So what was so urgent, huh?
Why did you call me?

Claudio is alive. He was kidnapped.

[tense music playing]

[woman] Here's your juice, sir.

[tense music continues]

[door opens and closes]

I think I've got the location.

We know where
Claudio Martínez is being held.

Hm.

[groans]

[exhales]

[groans]

[music fades]

[man] Fernando!

What's going on, dude?

You tired already?

[sighs]

It's okay, you're in luck.
You've got a visitor.

I thought it was forbidden to have visits.

Your mother says it's an emergency.

He's still alive?

Yes.

I told you, you didn't do anything.

But I remember that night,
and I dream about it all the time.

That's all it was, a dream.

Now, I just have to get the cash
for the ransom together.

-You're going to help rescue Claudio?
-I have to.

Why don't we just let them
k*ll the as*h*le?

Because that would be almost too easy.

If you and I wanna start over again,
we need to do things right.

That prick's gonna come back
and act like he's a martyr.

I'll make him pay.

That b*stard's gonna regret
everything he did to you.

[tense music playing]

I'll take him to court
and expose who he really is.

I am never gonna set foot
in that f*cking house again, Mom.

Just trust me.

If I had to bet on who had something to do
with Claudio's disappearance,

my first choice would be Helena.

Mm-hm.

I think it could have been Octavio.

Even Claudio himself. He could've faked
the whole kidnapping thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Possibly.

But I also have one more suspect.

I did some digging.

I checked to see if Helena
and Claudio's kids had a criminal record.

Look what I found.

Livia Martínez.

Two years ago, she was being prosecuted

for manufacturing
ill*gal substances in Quintana Roo.

-What kind of substances?
-I have no idea.

What I do know
is that Claudio took exceptional care

in covering the whole f*cking thing up.

And then, the case was closed.

Here's the file.

Inside, there's a newspaper article

where she is called a… junior narco.

-Nobody's normal in that family.
-Mm.

No, they certainly aren't.
Also, listen to this.

Octavio faked his own kidnapping
when he was a teenager.

-He wanted money from his dad.
-Huh?

[Sofía] Mm-mm.

Funny thing is Claudio didn't pay
one red cent. Nice, huh?

The whole thing ended up
being swept under the rug.

Wow.

[music fades]

Look. We're not asking you for money,
just lift the injunction you put in place,

which froze
all of Claudio's bank accounts.

That injunction is the only protection
we really have here.

It covers our investment.

I mean, if the Sal y Arena project
falls through,

it's there, right?

[Octavio] Look, Hugo.

If you don't do it
because the two of you are friends,

or for the fortune you've made
doing business with my dad,

do it because without him,

the whole investment in Sal y Arena
is out the window.

Hugo, must I really remind you

of all the things
my husband has done for you?

Unblock those accounts.

Octavio, do you recall when
you faked your own kidnapping?

What's that got to do with it?

How do we know
that's not what's happening now?

[Magic] This is where Octavio's
gonna deliver the ransom money.

You and I'll be watching.

You go for Claudio.

If anything happens to that b*stard,
you're gonna pay.

[Hugo] You faked your own kidnapping
to get money from your dad.

-Remember that?
-He was 16 years old.

Helena, put yourself in our shoes.

Put yourself in Claudio's shoes
and show empathy for once in your life.

Look. Business is business.
It isn't personal.

Huh.

"Business is business."

They kidnapped your partner
and your friend, Hugo.

And in an act of solidarity,

you froze his bank accounts.

And you've done it on the pretext

of a stunt Octavio pulled
when he was a teenager?

Okay. I just think I should remind you
that we all have skeletons in our closet.

Right, Hugo?

Listen. There's no need
to be like that, all right, Helena?

Excuse me. Octavio, you have a phone call.
He says it's very important.

Thank you.

Sorry, I've got to take that.

Think it's the kidnappers?

[Magic] Do you have the money?

Things are getting complicated.

So you f*cked up.
You didn't get it, did you?

I need a few hours.

We don't have time.

I'm coming to get you.

[call disconnect tone]

And what is the prosecutor's office doing?
Are they looking for Claudio?

Of course, there's
a huge investigation going on.

But Pablo said it would be in our interest
to get the money together.

What? Hold on.
The district attorney's advising you

to pay these assholes?

Francisco, these are
high-ranking organized crime lords.

You know as well as I do

there's protocol
that has to be followed in these cases.

I'll see what's taking Octavio so long.

I would have thought you,
more than anyone else,

would've been on his side, Hugo.

He left. Octavio is gone.

And this is the ecocide you'll be part of

if you decide to fund
this new tourist complex.

[tense music playing]

[cell phone chimes]

NOTIFICATION

[phone chimes]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[music fades]

Three blocks that way is a plaza
where you'll meet someone

who already knows who you are.

You'll hand him this bag.

Yeah. Can't your driver do it?

He's not my driver. He's the man
who will save your life if he has to.

I didn't know.

[unzips bag]

[suspenseful music playing]

[chuckles] If they notice this,
it'll be bad.

Listen, as*h*le.

The only one who doesn't realize
he's living on borrowed time here is you.

I know, but they're gonna f*ck' k*ll me
if they see there's fakes in here!

Just trust me.

Would you?

-They gonna bring my father back?
-Look.

Your father's nowhere near here.
I've got guys standing by to rescue him.

[suspenseful music continues]

The Swede's in the side yard with two men.

And there's another one up on the terrace.

Yeah, copy that.

Nothing happens to that hostage.

Don't worry, we got this.

[Pablo] They've got leads.

As soon as the drop site is confirmed,
my men will move in.

Obviously, the most important thing
is to get Claudio out alive.

Did you get the money?

Working on it.

Helena.

I've done everything you asked me to do.

You have the whole prosecution team
at your service.

-What do you want for the video?
-Twenty-five million dollars.

[music fades]

How much do you charge
for an hour of your services?

[chuckles]

Why don't we just skip the whole part
where you make up some lame-a*s story

about how you met my father

and the reason you were in Valle
when he disappeared,

then I tell you I don't believe you.

You cry and pretend to be all indignant.
Shall we?

Sounds good to me.

What do you want?

I want to know who you really work for.

I work for myself.

Hm.

What do your services include?

For example, if I wanted
to get rid of somebody,

what would that cost me?

I like pleasing people, not k*lling them.

No one has ever hired you
to get rid of someone?

-Not one.
-Not even Helena Rivas?

[tense sting]

No, she isn't one of my clients.

So, you two are just both gold diggers
who are blinded by ambition, right?

[chuckles]

I already told you, I do not have
a relationship with Mrs. Rivas.

I honestly really wanted
to skip this whole part,

but… fine, I'll get right to it.

I know you're sleeping with Helena.

[tense music playing]

[Pablo] Are you seriously
asking me for that?

Twenty-five million dollars?

If I were you,
I'd already be working on it.

[scoffs]

Then again, I don't know
how much your honor is worth to you.

Maybe you'd rather the video go viral.

I can't believe you're asking me for this.

After everything I've done
to cover for you.

No, not just for you. For you and Claudio.

You're bluffing, aren't you?

You are! You don't have those videos.

-Don't underestimate me.
-No, no, no, no.

Because, if you had them,

you'd have already gotten the 25 million
from the shareholders in Sal y Mar.

And much more.

You don't care about Claudio, no.

You're desperate because you're afraid
Claudio will use those videos against you.

Or maybe even worse,
they'll end up in the kidnappers' hands.

That's it, isn't it?

I have proof that you and Helena
were in a relationship

and wanted to get rid of my father.

Whoa, that's a pretty major accusation.

I know I may not be able
to convince you to betray Helena

because that makes you look bad too.

But I think there are things
you need to know about your accomplice.

You can decide later if you want her
to keep manipulating you

just like she used to manipulate
my dad and my whole family.

Listen. If you have anything else
you wanna get off your chest

before you leave, go ahead.

Helena was having an affair with my dad
when my mom was alive.

Helena had something to do
with her "suicide." I'm sure of it.

[Helena] Very interesting theory.

Keep on doubting me
and see what happens, Pablo.

Helena, I have all my men working hard
to bring Claudio back home safe and sound.

My best men.

I don't know what else I'm supposed to do.

Except, maybe… I don't know…

locate Magic and negotiate with him.

I thought you said when it comes
to men like Magic, there's no negotiating.

You have no other choice.

You have 24 hours to find Claudio,
dead or alive, okay?

Or your video goes public.

[music fades]

[man] Put your hands up.

[tense music playing]

Open it.

Pull a stack from the bottom.

I said pull a stack from the bottom!

Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

You think you can f*ck with me?

-No, no, no. Don't!
-[g*nsh*t]

[tense music intensifies]

Come on, let's go.

[engine starts]

Move it.

I confess before you, my almighty God…

that I have sinned
in thought, word, deed, and omission.

The Swede's just with one guy now.
Get ready.

[Claudio] By my fault.

By my own fault.

By my own grievous fault.

Wait for my signal.

So, I ask the blessed Mary, ever-Virgin,

all the angels and the saints,
to intercede for me before God.

Amen.

[sn*per] Go, go, go!

[tense music continues]

-Freeze!
-Please, don't sh**t.

-Put the g*n down now!
-Don't sh**t, please.

Please don't k*ll me!

Don't, I beg you.

Where is he?

End of the corridor.

[g*nsh*t]

[dramatic music playing]

We found him, sir.

[dramatic music continues]
