FORBIDDEN WOMAN

[suspenseful music]

[music ends]

[intriguing music]

[cell phone rings]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the delay.
I'm on my way.

Did something happen?

It's fine, don't worry.
I'll tell you later.

Uh…

I'm sorry, I guess you already
had breakfast, huh?

No, I'm waiting for you.

Here, how about this?

Lay back, have your breakfast,
I'm sure you're starving by now,

and I'll come see you before noon, okay?

Look, don't sweat it.
You're real busy. We can meet up later.

No, no.

No, no. Come on. I'm not too busy.
I'm on my way.

Just had a bump in the road.

What's more, I have an idea.

How about I cook our breakfast myself?

Deal. We'll see what you can whip up.

I'm sure you'll be clamoring for more.

See you there, then.

[suspenseful music]

[Gisela] Okay, we're trying out
a new mixer.

Please set it up carefully.

Go on.

[Fernán] A real bargain price for that.
Congratulations.

Told you so.

The other one was getting too expensive
with all that upkeep.

Where's your son?

Out on the town.

Hmm.

He's kind of cute, too.

Runs in the family.

What did you expect?

That's true.

Did you figure out what Daniel
and that guy were talking about?

Yeah.

He was interested in private security.

Hey, Linda.

How come?

He's under threat of extortion.

-Seriously?
-Seems that way.

So, Daniel ended up doing you a favor.

Come again? How?

By purchasing the ranch you wanted to buy.

Otherwise, someone else
would be getting extorted.

Ha!

Just let them try and mess with me.

Right, I've learned

that no one gets away
with messing with you, huh?

[intriguing music]

Fernán.

Be mindful of who you hire
to run your errands.

They might just screw it up.

What do you mean?

I already proved that I got your back.

Trust me.

What's on your mind?

[intriguing music continues]

Nothing out of the ordinary.

I got a lot on my mind, myself.

-Is that so?
-Yeah.

Such as?

How you and Gerardo
have that little operation going.

I assure you I can do a much better job.

You sure are ambitious, huh?

That's why I'm here with you.

I don't settle for less.

[dramatic musical stinger]

Put me to good use.

[music fades]

[suspenseful music]

[car alarm chirps]

Holy Blessed Virgin!

How is my girl doing? All good?

All good. Catch me up to speed.

Could you do me a favor, ma'am?

-Of course. Ask away.
-Yeah?

You guys got a back door?

Yeah, this way. Follow me.

Oh, and could I borrow something
from your kitchen?

Sure thing, Mr. Víctor. This way.

-Thanks so much.
-This way.

[Daniel] Okay, darling, so… [kisses]

…you're in charge of buying
what we need for lunch and I'll go talk

-to the mayor about our appointment.
-Okay.

If he agrees to see you,
let me know and I'll drop by.

Of course.

-[Daniel] Later, Chucho.
-[Chucho] Later.

[engine starts]

[eerie music]

[music turns suspenseful]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

[Jimmy] Evening.

Evening.

Uh, so… You see,
I'm looking for a friend.

Not sure if you've seen him around.
A singer.

Hmm… no.

-No? Víctor Rodríguez?
-No.

I wanted to surprise him.

-I can't recall, you know?
-No?

You can't recall?

Maybe I can jog your memory.

Maybe… if I just…

I mean, really.
If this doesn't jog your memory…

This should help you out.

Are you drunk or what?

If that hunk was really here,

you can't imagine the racket
that we would have made.

-Anyway, take a seat.
-Thanks, ma'am. That will be all.

[music fades]

Twelve hundred or thirteen hundred?

That's a 1200cc bike.

-Flies, huh?
-Sure does.

-[chuckles]
-Runs well.

I've been trying to shake you off
for a while, to no success.

-Runs great on the highway, yeah.
-Hmm.

-Jimmy, right?
-Víctor.

-Lidia's boyfriend.
-We met at Kitty's party.

-How are you? How are things?
-Good, you?

-Good.
-That's nice.

-Working away.
-Same here.

One would assume your work
is related to me somehow.

I don't follow.

No, no. I'm sure it's a coincidence

that we're on the same route,
at the same time,

-and stopped at the same place.
-My thought exactly.

I don't really believe in coincidences.

[clicks tongue] My journalism
is no gossip tabloid trash. Got it?

My bad. Guess I've been watching
too many movies.

-Likely.
-Have a good one, Jimmy.

-Good to see you. Have a nice day.
-Yeah. You too.

[suspenseful music]

I don't buy it.

[car door opens]

[car door slams]

[suspenseful music continues]

That son of a…

b*tch.

as*h*le.

[music fades]

[cell phone rings]

[Kitty] Hey, Iván. How are you?

I was about to call you.

I read the article. I loved it.

Where are you?

Out on the town. Grocery shopping.

Hmm. Well, I just got here.

Where are you so I can pick you up?

Over by the square.

Okay, see you soon.

Hey, are you with Daniel?

No, he left to get that meeting
with the mayor.

See you in a bit.

Okay.

[intense, dramatic music]

[dramatic musical stinger]

What's all that for?

Chill, man.

Relax, just a safety measure.

Well, go on.

[suspenseful music]

-Make it quick.
-[grumbles]

-You know the biz?
-No, man.

Yeah, it shows. You lack experience.

Take these.

[grunts]

[suspenseful music continues]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

You have no idea how much
that article is going to help us out.

Thank you so much.

I was talking to my dad.

How come?

He didn't know what was going on.

Yeah. He even said he agreed
with the whole private security thing.

-Really?
-Yes. He'll talk to the neighbors

to see if anyone knows anything,
or if any of them are being extorted.

[cell phone rings]

Hello?

I'm honored to say, Ms. Kitty,

that… we have a meeting with the mayor.

Oh, wonderful.

It wasn't an easy task, but we got it.

You made my day.

-[mouthing] Who?
-Daniel.

Hey, are you done grocery shopping?
Where should I pick you up?

I'm downtown with Iván.

Oh.

Why is that?

I ran into him.

We're getting drinks.

Why not tag along?

No, no. I'm not feeling it.

I don't want to continue our endless
conversation about my dad. Pass.

Where do I pick you up?

Well, we just sat down and are having
a nice conversation.

Tell him I'll drive you, no sweat.

Iván says he will give me a ride.

[tense stinger]

Well, okay. So, see you later.

Uh… keep in mind what I told you, okay?

What's that?

My brother wants to win you over.

[chuckles]

Don't talk nonsense.

Well, I guess we will see.

Ciao.

What's up?

-[knocks on table] Kitty?
-What?

-What's up?
-Nothing.

[dramatic musical stinger]

[suspenseful music]

-[grunting]
-[music intensifies]

[grunting, groaning]

[grunting]

[Daniel screams]

-[g*nsh*t]

Oh. [laughs] Jesus Christ.

I couldn't help it.

I was already here and got curious, so…

-[laughs]
-The staircase nearly broke that day.

Hell, I'm pretty sure you can see me
grabbing onto the wall.

Want a fun fact from when we were filming?

So, clearly we were just starting out,
and we had no budget,

except for our own devices
and some favors.

And on that day,

I truly fell in love with this place.

I said, "God, one day
this house needs to be mine."

And now, here I am.

Dreams really do come true.

This place really is lovely.

If it were me, I would stay and live here.

[peaceful music]

Didn't I say dreams do come true?

I'll go whip up something tasty.

Sound good?

[peaceful music continues]

[exhales]

[Iván] How about this? I cook lunch.
You calm his nerves,

and buy me some time
so I can get to know the security folks.

How long do you think it will take
for them to get here?

What happened?
Iván, what is going on? Stop!

[tense music]

[dramatic musical stinger]

What happened?

His vital signs are very low.
He's lost a lot of blood.

Chucho, what happened?

They tried to burn the house down,
and they shot him twice.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct chatter]

Chucho, who was it?

I don't know, sir. I swear I don't know.

I don't know.

[ambulance siren wails]

AMBULANCE

[dramatic music continues]

[music fades]

[Gerardo] Are you stupid?

What did you do?

[Ramiro] The man snuck up on us.

-You wanted me to let him k*ll me?
-No.

I wanted only one thing,

to have the ranch burned down.

Not to have him shot.

Yeah, but the guy got real handsy.
I had to defend myself.

If anything happens to my brother Daniel…

you will be in deep sh*t, Ramiro.

I won't be going down alone, man.

[tense music]

Come again?

Mm-hmm.

Let's play nice, Gerardo.

Everyone has dipped their toes in this,
including your dear boss.

So if anyone rats me out…

now you know.

Won't Daniel recognize you?

Just tell Fernán to get as much money
and silence as many folks as necessary.

No, sir.

This is on you.

I didn't give the order, man.

You know what, Ramiro?

Get lost.

Disappear and tuck yourself away
where no one can find you.

Not even me.

[dramatic musical stinger]

Shoo! Get out of here.

[tense music continues]

[music fades]

[woman] He just came in.

GSW to arm and chest.

[woman 2] Potential punctured organ.
ECG is needed.

[suspenseful music]

[woman 2] Lung is collapsed.
It's a pneumothorax.

Potential internal bleeding.

This patient needs surgery right away.

I'm sorry, you can't go beyond this point.

[music fades]

[Gisela sighs] That mare turned out
just like her owner.

f*cked up in the head. [laughs]

Gonna need to get some help to break her.

Well, look for someone.

I talked to some people,
it's just expensive.

Listen, girl.

That's not an issue.
Choose the one you like.

[cell phone rings]

It's Iván.

Hello?

[tense music]

What?

How?

Yes.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

[Gisela] What's up?

Let me go with you, Fernán.

No, no, I need you here,
watching over the place.

-That's what Gerardo is for. He can do it.
-He's good for nothing!

If you want to help,
stay here at the ranch, okay?

Until I get back. Gerardo!

[Gerardo] Sir?

Mind explaining to me what happened?
Cat got your tongue?

-His orders were clear!
-He did it wrong!

-It's not my fault.
-How is it not, you moron?

You hired him and told me
he was the man for the job.

I thought he was.

[Fernán] Man, move. [puffs]

[engine starts]

[tense music]

[Víctor] He continued denying it
and playing dumb, but clearly

the guy was following me.

Yes, he works for a digital newspaper
called Counterpoint.

Ah.

Hey, any chance

Lidia told him something about us?

No.

No, no.

No, not Lidia.

Unless…

he listened in on our conversation.

So, he wanted to follow you
to see you meet me and get a big scoop.

Well,

he went back empty-handed.

Let's see here.

Let's try it.

[soft, dramatic music]

-Mm!
-[Karen laughs]

God.

Now this is simply exquisite.

[cell phone rings]

[suspenseful music]

[sighs] Karen won't pick up.

I could ask someone from the newspaper
to find her at the foundation.

She's not at the foundation.

Maybe she's home?

She's not home, either. Some hotel.

Why is that? Off on a trip?

No, she's not traveling.
She's fighting with Alexander.

Judging from all the campaign pressure
they must be facing,

I guess it's expected.

"Expected"?

Not at all, Iván.
Alexander is a difficult man.

-Is that so?
-Yeah.

They were trying to fix things, but…

I don't even know what happened.

[sighs] I'll give Esteban a call.

[Fernán] Evening.

[tense music]

-What are you doing here?
-Seeing how my son's doing.

Please, leave.

No.

You're behind all of this.

-Kitty, please.
-No, Iván! Don't "please" me!

You know I'm right.

-It's your fault.
-I advise you to watch your tongue.

Or what?

I'll be in the ER, too?

It's a pity you think of me that way.

That you allowed Daniel
to poison you so much.

We may be on bad terms,
but he's still my son.

-I am as worried as you are.
-I'm sure.

I assure you I'm looking into
whoever is responsible.

And they will pay.

I'm sure whoever attacked Daniel is also
behind the Bogotá t*rror1st attack on me.

Didn't you blame Daniel for that, too?

Yes. I was wrong.

This is directed at ranch owners
in the region.

I will do all I can to stop
those th*gs from taking over.

You can bet on that.

[tense music continues]

[music fades]

ORDUZ FOR PRESIDENT

Karen has gone above and beyond
working with us,

but unfortunately,
she can't make it to the debate.

[sighs]

What a shame.

I hope we can count on her
for regional campaigning.

Oh, yes. Of course.

We can count on that.

Within reason, of course.

[knocking on door]

Ma'am.

Sir, Mr. Jimmy Torres is here.

It's crucial for Karen to be with us
for the large majority of events.

She is key to all this. You know that.

Of course I do.

-Of course.
-Excuse me.

-Young man.
-Evening.

[clears throat]

Lay it on me.

Víctor realized I was following him
and I lost track of him.

[tense music]

You're all talk, huh, Jimmy?

Alexander, him trying so hard
to shake me off means…

he's hiding something.

Hiding what? Your wife?

He was a long way from Bogotá.

I am certain he is meeting up with her.

Where?

-I'll find out.
-How?

A country home would be a no-brainer,
a house that belongs to him.

I can start there.

So what are you waiting for,
an invitation?

[Alexander] Hmm?

-[sighs]
-I'm surrounded by idiots, I swear.

-[Karen] Thanks.
-[Víctor] No problem.

-It was delicious.
-[laughs] You think so?

Your talents as a chef
might just rival your talents as a singer.

You think so?

Well…

I take it that means
if my second album is a flop,

I can always take up cooking.

Oh please, a "flop."

People are head over heels for your music.

Just people?

That includes me.

-Very much so.
-[laughs]

I think re-writing the album
was the best decision.

Right. Yes, I…

feel the same way.

Feels a lot better, to be honest.

And, it goes without saying,
but I did that for me,

for my career.

But I can't deny that each lyrical margin
has your name written all over it.

[romantic music]

I know. I know you don't like it
when I confess how I feel about you, but…

can I help it if it's the truth?

[sighs]

When I was at the hotel,
before you came to look for me,

Lidia told me something harsh, but true.

What did she say?

That being married to someone who only
sees me as a political tool

isn't fair to me.

That's the exact reason

he pried me away from you.

You will always be a part of my life.

You know why?

Because I'm here for you.

Always.

Oh, Víctor.

I don't deserve someone like you.

Much less after the way I treated you.

Surely you must like me a little bit.

You have no idea.

Really?

Why would I avoid you then?

I don't know. To…

prevent gossip?

Sure.

But also, if I remained by your side,

I would have fallen hopelessly in love
with you.

[romantic music]

[romantic music intensifies]

[romantic music continues]

[romantic music continues]

[romantic music fades]

If Jimmy's right,
nothing has happened between them…

It will.

Most likely.

After she overheard me, she has
no reason to uphold our marriage,

plenty of reasons for divorce.

We were getting ready for that.

There are loose ends.

What happens…

when a woman like Karen…

is accused of corruption,
or money laundering?

-Off to jail.
-You sure?

If we go to a prison, how many women
like Karen, with her background,

will we find there?

-None.
-Exactly.

If I am forced to make use
of what I have on Karen,

she'll end up getting house arrest,
with limited visitors

and her reputation will be
completely tarnished.

What's on your mind?

Our son is the most important thing
in her life.

If she dares to cross me,
she will lose him.

[ominous music]

Will you really lock her behind bars?

If I pull this off, we k*ll two birds
with one stone.

Not only will we have Karen
under our control,

but we will also shift our campaign

to a topic everyone wants to hear
and talk about.

Jail for anyone who is crooked.

No matter who, no matter their stature.

Exactly.

Everyone will want to weigh in.
Everyone will want to tune in.

To speak their mind.

Those who vote.

But not those who donate campaign funds.

No one would dare oppose it, otherwise,

the public would deem them corrupt, too.

We only have…

one loose end.

Víctor.

Why him?

You think I'll let the creep
who slept with my wife off the hook?

Alexander, you can't mess with Víctor.

People revere him.

You aren't equipped to do that.

Not yet.

No one is untouchable.

Much less some two-bit thug like him.

[clears throat]

Jimmy.

So, tell me.

What do you know about Víctor?

I need you to take all his skeletons
out of his closet.

His career is going to the dogs.

[dramatic musical stinger]

NORTHEASTERN HOSPITAL

[somber music]

You okay? Need anything?

No. I wanted some coffee, but…

I'm doing just fine.

Kitty, I need you to relax.
Everything will be fine.

Take it easy.

How do you know that?

Because my brother is the strongest,
most stubborn man I know.

Take it from me… even if he has to take it
to the man upstairs,

if he truly exists,

he will be coming out the other side.

-I feel like this is all my fault.
-Uh-uh. No.

That is not true, be fair to yourself.

It's that f*cking project.

The first chance I got
had to be here, of all places.

Nothing to do with it, Kitty.
Be kind to yourself, please.

I should have stopped Daniel
from buying that ranch.

I shouldn't have let him hire
private security.

We should have left for Mexico
after they threatened us.

When I said my brother
is stubborn, I meant it.

[dark, dramatic music]

Neither you nor anyone else
could have talked him out of this place.

And it's not fair for you
to beat yourself up like this

because this was neither your fault,
nor the project's, nor Daniel's.

The only ones responsible are those g*ons

who did this to my brother, and I hope

my dad finds them before the cops do.

It's the only way

justice can be served.

My dad will make sure
to cut through any red tape,

contractual terms,
anything that gets in his way.

That is the only way those…

sons of b*tches will confront
the full weight of the law.

Iván, this is Gerardo.

We wanted to check in on Daniel.

Please, as soon as you can,
return my call. Thanks.

-Nothing?
-Zilch.

Call his dad.

No.

Why not?

Well, if Iván won't pick up,
he definitely won't.

At least try.

-Why don't you call?
-He never picks up my calls.

Well, same with me.

Oh, Christ Almighty, let Daniel be okay.

He has to be, Mom.
He has to be, otherwise…

[intriguing music]

…it would be too hard on all of us.

On my dad, too. I know

he's really worried about all this.

All that matters is that Daniel
makes it through this.

And hopefully this whole debacle
can help them make up.

-[Gisela] Don't you give me that tone.
-[Libardo] But we're fed up…

[overlapping arguing]

[Gisela] Too f*cking bad,
I call the shots here.

I am your boss.

More like a dictator.
Look how you treat these people.

-Yeah!
-No, we're not making friends.

This is a labor contract.

Oh, if only that were true, ma'am.

But no, all you want is to boot us
from the ranch.

-Isn't that true? Tell her.
-Yeah!

According to whom?

Speak up, who told you that?

Gerardo?

I need to talk to Mr. Fernán,
get his word that you won't boot us

-just because you feel like it.
-No one is getting the boot.

That's what you say out loud.

But behind our backs is another story.

Ha! You're so brave, huh?

So brave of you to stir people up
while Fernán is away at the hospital,

-worrying about his son.
-You don't get it.

Our problem isn't with Daniel,
it's with you. We're up to here

with being treated like sl*ves.
Ask them yourself.

Fernán will decide whether or not
he will talk to you.

For now, get to work.

No? Really?

Okay, then. Maybe the rumors wind up
being true and I get rid of you all.

See? Something comes up,
and she resorts to threats.

No, ma'am. We are human beings,
and we deserve respect.

It's a real drag having to work every day
under the sun,

with a noose hanging around our necks.

So you won't work?

-You won't work?
-No.

We need Mr. Fernán.
We need his word that things will change

-and that we will be treated fairly.
-Okay.

Don't work, don't do sh*t!

See how it goes.

Thanks, Gerardo,

for leaving the field clear for me,
and without me lifting a finger.

You know what would be best?

Someone really should leave the ranch.

I'm not talking about Libardo.

What did you do?

[tense music]

[music fades]

[cell phone rings]

-[Víctor] Mm-mm.
-[laughs]

-No. Don't even think about it.
-I have to pick up.

You are not picking up.

Absolutely not.

No. [laughs] You are not picking up.

I only want this moment to be about us.

The world be damned.

It doesn't matter.

The world will collapse under our feet.

Maybe so.

But you know what?

-What?
-I'm holding my ground.

I'll face anything with you.

-Hmm, Víctor.
-Mm.

No idea how I'll deal with this.

Hmm… let's see.

What would you say…
to some of the women at your foundation?

[sighs]

Let me think.

[grumbles] Think it over.

What would you say?

That she must separate from him,
of course.

Not just because she's
in a toxic relationship,

but because she fell for someone else.

[emotional music]

[sighs]

I'm worried about Sergio.

I need to talk to him.

I need to explain everything to him
before it goes public.

What will you say?

What he already knew deep down.

That his mom and dad
are fighting a lot, and…

that a marriage like that…

won't do us, or him, any good.

And…

do you think Alexander will allow it?

It's the truth.

No, I know that.
That's clear to me, however…

do you think Alexander
will let you speak about that to him?

Truthfully, I don't know.
That is exactly why

I want to find Sergio

before Alexander fills his head with lies.

And if he blames you…

not just with Sergio,

but, well,

to the public?
Accuses you of cheating on him?

What?

[dramatic music]

I have done everything
to be faithful to Alexander.

To distance myself from you.

But now I know
he was never faithful to me.

What about us?

[sighs]

Hmm?

I won't be hiding anything.
