FORBIDDEN WOMAN

Gerardo, I'm entrusting you.

Take good care of the house.

I don't want to find the ranch
upside down when I'm back.

It's not the first time you leave
and I'm left in charge.

[Fernán] Yes.

I can take care of it too.

Why didn't Doris come down? Doris!

Dad, let her sleep.

She got so drunk, she needs to rest.

Well, guys…

thank you for the trip.

It's so nice of you.

Very generous of you two.

It's the least any marriage should have.

A honeymoon.

Well, what can I say?

-Keep an eye on everything, huh?
-Dad,

go already, free of all care.
It's getting late.

-Yes, yes. Let's go.
-Yes.

Gerardo. I almost forgot.

Here, take these keys.

They're for the storage room.

Keep an eye on these two.
Avoid any surprises.

Well, we said our goodbyes.
Gerardo, the suitcase.

[Iván] Enjoy, Dad.

[somber music]

Acknowledge Daniel's trying.
He's like a different person.

He is who he is.
And he's still who he is, okay?

But give him a chance.

That's the problem.

I don't know if I would give him
a chance to fix things

or for him to stab me in the back.

Go to the other side.

[phone beeps]

DANIEL
SEND PICTURES

[somber music continues]

You can't imagine how annoyed I am
with this trip.

I have to leave
when Víctor's trial starts.

Yes, but that's for the best.

The farther you stay from this,
the better.

What do you expect?

It won't be that easy,

especially considering
the security footage

doesn't show Chaparro assaulting Betty.

Can't Betty testify?

She's recovering from surgery.

And while her testimony
has some validity under the law,

I really don't think
that'd make a difference.

Well, keep me informed, okay?

Please try not to fight with Alexander

so that he doesn't complicate
your life or complicate the trial.

At least the election's around the corner.

That means we'll get separated soon.

I doubt Alexander
will make the divorce easy for you.

He's a selfish, mean guy.

And it's not good
for his political career,

especially since he represents
the Nationwide United Family Party.

He won't expose
that his own family didn't work.

And you're saying that because…?

Because after I'm done with Víctor,
I'll start with your thing.

What thing?

Your defense.

Look, I know Alexander won't come through.
I know it for a fact.

And you won't do as he says, either.

I know you'll come up with something,
and that will make Alexander react.

And I have to be there to keep you
from going to jail for this argument.

Look, I'm absolutely sure
that your husband,

when he becomes president,

will launch the anti-corruption law
before he does anything else.

And I'm trying to figure out
what I can come up with

to be able to stop him

so at least you won't be the first one
he uses his rigged law against.

Esteban, do what you feel you have to do.

I, on my side, will do
everything I can to protect Sergio.

Even staying away from Víctor.

Betty, you have to stay strong.

You have to have positive energy.
And you have to have faith, you hear me?

We have to have a lot of faith.

Víctor, what if I don't recover?

What if I can't walk again?

You have your whole life ahead of you.

I won't be able to do what I want
in a wheelchair, Víctor.

We can't say that yet.

We have to explore every option.

I swear we'll fight this. I promise, okay?

-You promise?
-I promise, I swear.

Betty,

you're one of the people I know
who can fly the highest

and know how to go far.

But what about the production company?

They're counting on me
for the launch and all that.

No, don't think about that,

because you're no one's lifeline.

I am, Víctor.

Do you know how many times
my mom and I have been

up to our necks, almost drowning in debt?

And it hasn't happened.

Besides,

we'll release your album.

We'll release it when it's right.
First things first.

I…

Look, I'm sure you're going to be

one of the most important singers
in this country.

I see it, I know it.

Thank you.

Could Alexander have engaged
in shenanigans in his campaign?

I have no doubt about it.

And who knows where else
before the campaign.

I think we'll have to do to him
what they did to Al Capone.

They couldn't judge him
for his gangster empire.

They caught him for something
much simpler:

tax evasion.

But they caught him.

So we have to find
another downfall for Alexander?

Corruption, ill*gal funds
that entered his campaign,

any violation of finance caps.

Even infidelity can be useful.

Mr. Baez, it's a pleasure to see you.

It's an honor.

We still have a long way to go,
don't worry.

We're on our way to the airport.

Yes, I'll see you there.

With everything in place?

Good food, a full square, flags
waved by everyone, and them going,

"Orduz for President."

That's what I'm talking about.

You can count on it, sir.

Okay, don't let me down.

We'll talk later.

-Politicians.
-Shall we?

We still have a minute and a half,
maybe two minutes.

[suspenseful music]

Honey, just like there are good people,
there are also some bad people.

And one of them, in a moment
of anger, because he drank too much,

hurt Beatriz.

And you and Víctor
are good friends, right?

Because some kids at my school said

they heard on the news
that you were in love with him.

Honey,

Víctor is someone I'm very fond of.

He's helped us a lot at the foundation,

but there's nothing between us.

They also said you'd leave my dad for him.

Sergio,

I can't leave your dad.

Is that clear?

[suspenseful music]

[Iván clears throat]

What are you doing, María?

-Waking up Doris, she asked me to.
-Shh.

No, you're not waking anyone up.

My sister needs to rest because she had
too much to drink yesterday.

And she can't see
what's going to happen here today.

Today…

Today, everything we've worked for
comes to a conclusion.

A few days ago,
you asked me why I was still living here

if I knew Fernán was responsible
for my attack.

You've refused to tell me the truth.

I came with every intention
of k*lling him.

What?

But not for what he did to me.

For what, then?

Fernán k*lled my mom.

[music blares]

No. Please, don't react like that,

because it's not suspicion.

Iván confirmed it.

What do you mean?

What did Iván say?

There's a guy.

His name is Tadeo Mahecha.

He worked here when my mom was alive
and witnessed what happened that day.

What did he see, hear? What did he say?

My mom found out Gerardo was Fernán's son.

He clearly complained to him
and got him upset. And…

Fernán pushed her.

And that got her k*lled, Kitty.

And the b*stard made everyone believe
my mom was crazy.

And she k*lled herself.

But not only that, he paid the doctor

to change the coroner's report.

Tadeo Mahecha witnessed all this
and came to blackmail him.

That's what happened.

But…

how come?

After all this time?

Yes, he had cancer.

He probably came to ask for money
for treatment, and…

we know that he had the original report
and the confession.

But…

let's see…

Did you talk to him directly?

Iván and I went looking for him,
but he's dead.

We have to talk to the Police, Dani.

What will I tell the Police?

Huh? What will I tell the Police?
I have no proof.

Iván must say what he knows,
what he heard.

It's Iván's word against my Dad's.

Well, let's talk to my brother.
He's a lawyer.

He must know what to do in these cases.

What is he going to say, for God's sake?
That I report him?

So that Fernán is set free
in a couple of days?

And I ask you not to tell Doris.

-How can you not tell your sister?
-She can't know.

The first thing she'll do is confront Dad.

I don't want him to know that I know.

Are you absolutely sure
that what Iván is saying is true?

Iván has always defended my father, Kitty.

Always. He has no reason to lie.

My mom didn't k*ll herself.

Let's see.

You just told me
that you came to this ranch…

because you wanted to k*ll your dad.

What happened?

I'm not a m*rder*r, Kitty.

I'm not.

Then why are you still here?

Why did you agree
to the truce with your dad?

I pretended to.

There? Happy now? I faked it.

Why?

Because you were right.

I can go to Mexico or any other country,

but I won't stop
until Fernán pays for what he did.

I want to destroy him, Kitty.

How?

Listen,

I…

I'll do things which consequences
I don't want to impact you.

I won't leave you alone.

I don't want you here in the middle.

But we're getting married.

No, we're not.

Not until I fix this.

Forgive me.

Please forgive me.

I can't.

What about us?

Kitty, there is no us.

I'm sorry.

[Daniel] Kitty. Kitty, come here.

Kitty.

This is all your fault!

Why did you have to ruin everything
precisely now? Why?

Iván did what he had to do.

What he had to do was
to be quiet, for us to go to Mexico,

to get married, to be happy.
That's all you had to do.

[Daniel] Please calm down.

All you had to do was take care of him.
Yet look what you did.

Stop. Kitty, please.

I hate you, Daniel.

I hate you.

And I hate everything that has to do
with this f*cking ranch.

-What's going on? Why the yelling?
-Not now, Doris.

Please, I'm begging you. Not now.

-[Iván] Kitty.
-I said to take care of him!

-Kitty.
-Why did you have to tell him?

-Why did you have to mess with his head?
-Kitty.

No, you only had to do one thing!

Kitty, stop it. Wait. [stuttering]

-[Kitty screams] Why did you say that?
-Calm down.

[Iván whispers] It's okay.

[Kitty cries]

Kitty, I'm worried too.

You're talking about my brother,

but I couldn't keep quiet,

because my dad k*lled his mom.
I couldn't, Kitty.

[Doris] What do you mean you broke up?

I've been thinking about it
for a few days.

You practically
just proposed to her, Daniel.

Look, it was a stupid idea I had.

Yes, trying to pretend,
because I wanted her back.

You love Kitty.

You light up every time she's around.

You spent most of your inheritance on her.

You left Mexico, your specialization.

What's more, you're trying
to fix things with my dad.

I wanted her back.
I became obsessed with that idea.

And once I got her back,
I lost interest in her.

-Why is that so hard to understand?
-I don't believe you.

But it's the truth.
I'm not interested in Kitty anymore.

I don't want to be with her.

You'll regret it.

She's a wonderful woman.

Tell me, what is Daniel going to do
to your dad?

Don't know, I've no idea.

But there must be a way
to prove Fernán k*lled Elvira.

That's what we've been trying to find.

Our hope was to find the evidence that
Tadeus had and for him to testify, but…

Well, we have to find that evidence.

Kitty, we looked for it in his house.

It's nowhere to be found.
We have no way of finding them that way.

Believe me, I'm interested
in stopping this madness

because I'm afraid Doris will be affected,

or especially Daniel, who's going crazy.

Daniel won't rest until he gets revenge
on your dad.

I know, that's why I'm trying
to find a solution. Believe me.

How?

I have some investigators helping me

to find out what happened
and what we can get.

But you know how powerful
my dad is everywhere,

-and if he finds out…
-Yes.

He'll do anything to get rid of the blame.

Exactly. That's why no one can find out
what we're talking about,

especially not my sister Doris.
You know she'll talk.

Kitty, please, listen to Daniel.

Leave this place for a while.

This tour is crucial
so that we work together

to find a solution
to the corruption problem

that has affected so much
the economy of these regions.

A mega jail is one option,
but it's not the only one.

Mr. Orduz, now tell us:

are you prepared to move
to the Palace of Nariño?

I'm ready to be the president
of Colombians.

But my wife and I agreed
that the best thing to do was to stay

in our house.

Why did you decide that?

I think that the party of the family,

which is represented by me,

needs to revolve around its core,
the family, as a priority.

How could I neglect them?

Well, the Palace has its advantages.

To be honest, I think it's cold and ugly.

I'd tear it down if I could.

Besides, I'm not going to spend
my taxpayers' money on renovations.

And I give you:

the pillar, the single most important
thing to me, my family.

Hi, honey.

-How are you?
-Fine.

I'm happy to be here.

[Amalia] What have you heard? How's Betty?

No, nothing.

The nurse kicked me out
so they could redress her wounds,

-but she's calmer now.
-Oh, okay.

What's this?

-It's the paperwork.
-What is it?

For the bank loan we're going to get
to cover the hole in our finances.

-No, God, are we already at this?
-We've been at this for a while, boy.

And now we don't know
how Betty will come out of this.

-What do you mean? She'll be fine.
-Oh, I don't know. That doctor left me…

But we have to be realistic, Víctor.
This is going to be a long process.

We have to wait and see if we can release
the album in case we can wrap it up.

Mom,

I'm sure Betty will become

a better singer than me.
She'll do much better.

-Tell me why I should stay.
-It's just weird.

There has to be an explanation.
You're the love of Daniel's life.

I thought the same.

I'll try to talk to him, okay?
I want him to explain to me what he's…

Don't talk to him. Stay out of it.

How can I stay out of it? I have to.

I talked to him, and he made things clear.

You scolding him and calling him names

won't change how he feels about me.

So I'm just going to sit back
and do nothing?

I don't want him to be with me
out of obligation.

No, you're a great couple.

You're so good for Daniel, Kitty.

Yes, but he's hurting me a lot.

The only thing I ask

is that my relationship with you
doesn't change.

No, it won't.

If it didn't happen after Esteban,
it won't this time, either.

I'll take you to Bogotá, okay?

No, Doris.

With that hangover,
we'll end up in a ditch.

Don't worry, Iván will take me.

Iván?

Yes, he offered.

Okay.

Do you have anything to do
with Daniel and Kitty's breakup?

-[Iván] What?
-You like Kitty.

-Again with that?
-No, I find it very hard to believe

that Daniel made this decision overnight

loving her the way he does.
Unless someone convinced him.

You're answering to yourself.

No.

If Daniel cares as much about Kitty
as you're saying,

neither I nor anyone else could change
his feelings, don't you think?

There's something going on here,
and I know you know what it is.

-What could it be?
-That's what I want to know.

I don't get it.
Why do you insist on blaming me?

I've nothing to do with it.
Think whatever you want.

I think it's more absurd

for him to make a decision like that
overnight, out of thin air,

knowing everything they've done
to be together.

If you have anything to do
with what's going on between them

-and it ruins their relationship…
-I said no.

-You've been warned.
-Yes, yes.

Come, Kitty.

[Kitty] Thank you.

[suspenseful music]

Let me know when you get there, okay?
Please. It will be okay.

You're an idiot.

-I know.
-Then why are you doing it?

Because I'm an idiot, Doris.

Did Iván convince you?

He has nothing to do with it.

Hmm.

[sad music playing]

Catalina Arbeláez…

will you marry me?

-No.
-[Iván] What's that?

Iván, can you please drop me off
at the terminal?

No, missy, I'll take you to Bogotá.

Please, Iván. I need to be alone.

Kitty, I can't just leave you here.

Iván, I need to be alone, okay?
Drop me off at the terminal.

You have to eat it, or you won't recover.

-Do it for the manager. Oh, my.
-Oh.

-What happened?
-It's hot.

What happened?

-No, your foot.
-What?

You moved it!

-Betty, do it again.
-Try.

-I can't.
-You can.

-What are you talking about? You just did.
-I did?

Betty, focus.

Focus because you're capable.
Please. Move it, move it.

She moved it!
She moved it! She moved her foot! See?

-[Víctor] Betty.
-Oh, my God.

You moved your foot.

[Betty] After the accident, I'll be fine.

[Amalia] Oh, oh.

[melancholic music]

[Alexander] It's delicious.
Thank you very much.

Orduz for president!

-That's right.
-[audience] Orduz, Orduz!

[Alexander] But with energy!

-[audience] Orduz, Orduz!
-Let's feel it!

[woman] One foot, then the other, please.

Slowly.

Careful, careful, careful.

Don't worry. You must do it alone.

…the important thing
I want you two to keep in mind.

The evidence, aside from all
the arguments for the judge,

is that it's very important
to always keep a cool head.

[cell phone beeps]

DANIEL
YOUR MARE IS MISSING YOU ALREADY

DANIEL
AND ME, TOO

[vallenato on TV]

DAYS LATER

Okay. We're here.

How do you feel?

Nervous, why deny it?

And really mad, at myself
and at that Hugo guy, too.

Well, I need you to be calm, to be calm.

That you check that anger you feel, okay?

It's important that you don't answer
any reporters,

much less to the opposing party.

What will happen when the lawyer
starts lying?

Well, that's when you have to be
the most relaxed.

You have to keep a poker face.

As if nothing was going on.
I'll take care of the rest.

-Ready?
-Let's go.

-Understood?
-I said yes.

-Okay.
-Let's go.

-Let's go, Víctor.
-Let's go.

[reporter 1] Are you prepared
for the trial?

Will you be testifying?

[reporter 2] You shot Chaparro
for no reason?

What can you tell us about Beatriz,

who ended up a victim
of your excesses with alcohol?

In a few minutes, the trial
against Víctor Rodríguez will begin.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

-We're here.
-Esteban, get him out of this madness.

I'll call you when we're done.

CRIMINAL COURT

My mom?

Oh, no.

Let's go.

We're very pleased with the national tour,

and we're confident to have picked up
concerns of Colombian men

and women so I can address them
during my presidential term.

Mr. Orduz, your political rival,
Mrs. Sonia Ramírez,

claimed in an interview
that your family's presence,

especially your wife being here,

is nothing more than a strategy
to gain constituents.

I like to call a spade a spade.

You already know me.

And next to me is my family,

because I represent
the values of the traditional family,

who is here with me.

[audience cheering]

Candidate Orduz,

Mrs. Ramírez
also criticizes the superficiality

of your women's support program

by calling it a smokescreen
to get the women's vote.

I invite my rival
to introduce us to her family.

I haven't met them. Mine is here.

And to show you how serious this is,

once I'm president,
I'll start the Department of Women.

[cheering]

[people chanting] He's the one!

That department will be run

by the person who knows the most about it
in this country,

Mrs. Karen Arbeláez.

[people chanting] He's the one!

We're going to work hand in hand

so that together we can build a society
that makes women's causes visible

so that we can understand

that investing in women
is investing in the family.

[people chanting] He's the one!

Ma'am,

what would be the main objectives
of this new department?

And how are you going
to solve the wage gap

between men and women?
How will it affect housewives?

[suspenseful music]

Oh! So, let's move on.
Let's continue with…

[Henao] Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Mr. Rodríguez,

can you tell us who's in the video?

[Esteban] Your Honor,

the video that the prosecution
just submitted has nothing to do with

the lawsuit at hand.

What I intend to prove with this,
Your Honor,

is that excessive alcohol
is part of a recurring behavior

of Mr. Rodríguez, which was bound
to end in tragedy sooner or later.

Answer the question.

Is that you?

Yes.

Could you tell us what state you were in

at that exact time of the concert?

I was drunk.

Is it true that you had problems
with alcohol in the past

to the point that you underwent
a rehabilitation process?

Yes.

And you tried to keep it hidden?

Your Honor,

just because Mr. Víctor Rodríguez
is a public figure

doesn't mean he has to give up
his right to privacy.

Is it true that when
your drinking problem came to light,

you used your social media
to ensure that events like this

would never happen again?

Yes.

[Henao] So,

can you explain this to us?
Mr. Secretary, please.

[Víctor] Is that booze?

Because if it is, I'd be happy to get one.

-Can I have a sip?
-[audience shouts]

[Víctor] That's it! Cheers!

[Víctor hoots and chuckles]

[Henao] That's enough, thank you.

Can you tell me when this was recorded?

[clears throat]

At a recent concert.

It happened some time after

you assured people that you had overcome
your drinking problems,

and that this would never happen again.

That's right.

You encouraged them to drink more.

I mean, not content
with going back on your word,

you incited your followers
to get drunk with you.

No, I'm sorry. I didn't incite anyone.

THIRD CRIMINAL COURT

I was swept away by those waves.

And still laughing?

Instead of coming to help me?

I'd be dumb
if I had gone there to help you.

-Oh, no!
-We'd both end up getting dragged.

Wow, a hell of a man I married.

[Fernán grumbles]

Oh, stop making such a fuss.
The water wasn't even knee-high.

But you looked so pretty.

Sorry, I'll correct myself:
you look so pretty.

Oh, now you're trying to make it right?

-I'm going to take a shower.
-[Fernán] Hey.

I'll go with you.

No, sir, I want some privacy.

-Why's that?
-What?

We're on our honeymoon.

But we have to leave some for later.

What for?

Don't you like that I'm next to you
all day long?

[Gisela] I do like it,

but we haven't had lunch.

You know how I get when I'm hungry.

-Huh?
-Hmm.

How do you get?

[both chuckle]

Room service?

No, Fernán.

I didn't come to Cartagena
to be locked up all the time.

Honey… where there's a will,
there's a way.

You're really something, huh?

-Hey, I'm really into you.
-Are you?

-Yes.
-I'm going to shower alone.

Are you going to leave me like this?

-Nothing?
-Hm-hmm.

She went silent
since you took her to the terminal.

I'm sure she doesn't want
to talk to you after the breakup.

Iván, what exactly did she tell you?

I was going to take her
to Bogotá, but she said no.

To leave her at the terminal
because she needed to be alone.

-That's it.
-And you listened to her?

What was I supposed to do?
Take her by force?

What if something happened to her?

Did you text her?

I clearly texted her.
She read my text and didn't answer.

There's your answer.
She doesn't want to talk to you.

Give her some time.

-Hello?
-How are you, Fernán?

How are you? Did something happen?

-[Kitty] Nothing.
-Oh.

-Is everything okay at the ranch?
-Everything's fine.

I think so. I'm not there anymore.

What can I do for you?

I'm calling to talk about
the renewables project.

Okay.

There are several changes
I'd like to talk to you about.

Tell me.

[Henao] Mr. Rodríguez,

my colleague claimed a moment ago
that you are a public figure

who has influence over people.

People were already drinking.
What do I have to do with it?

Well, you encouraged them to drink more,

prompting them to act recklessly.

Consuming alcohol is not a crime,
Your Honor.

And the comment Mr. Rodríguez made
at the concert

could hardly be considered incitement.

It wasn't enough
that you corrupted your fans,

you continued to engage
in self-destructive behavior

that led you to attack my client,
resulting in near-death injuries.

But your client was already drunk.
And he was much drunker than me.

Besides, he was the one carrying the g*n.

I only wanted to defend Beatriz.
He was the one who fired the g*n.

In an act of self-defense, Mr. Rodríguez,

-after you attacked him.
-He was the one who attacked.

I only tried to defend Beatriz.

Unfortunately for you, Mr. Rodríguez,

the security camera footage
proves otherwise.

Okay.

When I'm back,
I'll call you so we can talk.

Goodbye.

What happened?

Have you talked to Daniel lately?

No, why?

I mean…

about his relationship with Kitty.
How's that going?

Oh, as far as I know, it's fine.

What's going on?

Are you sure?

Your Honor, as you can clearly see
from the video,

it's Mr. Rodríguez who aggressively
attacks my client

for finding himself
in an advanced state of intoxication.

Speculative, Your Honor.

We can only see part
of the fight in the video,

and we can't jump to that conclusion.

Your Honor,

I didn't attack him.

I was defending Beatriz.

If you want, she can come
and corroborate what I'm saying.

Do you expect this court to believe
the testimony of a woman

who is part of your band,

who will soon launch her
art project in your production company,

and with whom you had
or have a romantic relationship?

After the first day of trial
against Víctor Rodríguez,

counsel Emiliano Henao,

representing the plaintiff Hugo Chaparro,

recalled Víctor Rodríguez' history

of alcohol consumption,

accusing him of beating his client

for no reason

and being under the influence of alcohol.

We're going to set
a clear and decisive precedent,

because a celebrity can't get away
with m*rder solely for being a celebrity.

Or simply because he has enough money
to buy his innocence.

[reporter] What charges
will he be charged with?

That would be
the District Attorney's Office's decision.

We are expecting justice to be served.

Henao exposed Víctor Rodríguez

as a violent, hypocritical person,

unable to control his impulses,

portraying a completely different image

from the kind, warm,
and beloved artist we all know.

Stop torturing yourself, okay?

But what they're saying about you, Víctor…

Look, Mom. Esteban warned us
this could happen,

and that it could get worse,
so that's how it is…

No, I mean, Esteban didn't do sh*t.

We should have hired someone else,
someone who'd actually defend you.

Mom, he did, but this is a trial,

and first the case for the plaintiff
must be presented.

Then, the case for the defense
is presented.

We have to wait.

What we need is a camera that recorded
everything that happened

before you went
after that miserable coward.

-Esteban is taking care of that.
-What if he can't get it?

Then Chaparro can't confirm
that what he's saying is true.

Of course, but we don't have enough
evidence to get you off the hook.

We still have Betty's testimony.

Who's going to believe Betty?
That's what Henao said.

No. It's a testimony.

And it's a testimony that has to be heard.

And it's just as important as Chaparro's.

We should have paid that b*stard
who asked me for money.

-No, that won't happen.
-But, Víctor.

No, how can you even think
we would do that, Mom?

-I know it's not right, I know.
-It's not right and it won't happen.

I'm not going to give that idiot a dime,

because I'm fighting
for what I think is right.

Look, Mom, I…

Look, it's true that I was drunk,
and that was wrong.

And it was worse to hit that guy
because I shouldn't have done it, okay?

But that idiot tried
to sexually abuse Betty,

and I wasn't going to allow that,
under any circumstances.

-I know, but paying would've solved it.
-But if justice…

What justice, Víctor? Really?

This is not a song, boy.

You'll end up in jail, in real life,
and you'll end up screwed.

I'm scared too, Mom,

but fear won't defeat us.

Justice must be served.
They have to rule in our favor.

We have to have faith.

Why don't you come with me

to see Betty
and forget about this for a while?

No, no. You know what I have to do?

I have to check what songs
are ready with Jair,

to see if we can release an album.
Anything, now.

I don't think it'll be enough.

You think so?

Damn it, Víctor,
we need a single at the very least.

I won't complicate your life even more,

-but we need to produce now.
-[Víctor] Yes.

[Amalia sighs]

Hey, come on.

-Don't cry.
-What? I don't cry.

Don't cry.

I'm not crying.

Esteban says that Henao
doesn't have enough evidence

to make the case stick, okay?

That's why they're choosing
to make me look as bad as possible.

But at the end of the day,

justice cares about facts,
not people's opinions, okay?

-There you go.
-It will be fine.

-Everything is fine.
-Everything will be fine. Yes, sir!

We'll kick a*s just like my dad did.
Yes, sir.

Enough.

There, there. It's okay.

This is a smear campaign,
and they won't defeat us.

This is going nowhere, okay?

-Yes.
-Let's do it.

[suspenseful music]

Víctor, I can't stop thinking about this.
Did you see what was on social media?

No. Let's see.

About that little problem
we struggled to get out of.

But so what?
Why are you talking about it now?

That's the question, Víctor. Why?

Who did you offend so much
that they're digging up this lapse?

The Department of Women?

Brilliant, isn't it?

Why did you publicly make me an advisor?

Why didn't you ask me if I agreed?

It just occurred to me on the fly.

Politics is… improvising.

How about that?

No, it's just…
Besides, we have to think about this.

It will be very good for you.

It'll give you lots of likes
and followers.

For your foundation, too.

I don't want anything to do
with your presidency.

I don't want to keep missing work,
especially not for you.

That's your problem, Karen.

You think too small.

Can't you see this is the best thing
that can happen to women?

To help them, I have my own foundation.

To you, a store is just
like a governmental department.

This way, you'll be able to help
many more women across the country.

Oh, Alexander, anyone who hears you

believes that you genuinely care
about women.

You made up that department
to silence Sonia Ramirez's comments.

There's no need to think about reasons
or the media, only about results.

Think about what you'll say
to justify my absence,

because I won't be part of it.

If I say jump, you ask how high.

If I say you make glass bottles,
you start blowing.

We're close to the elections.

You'll do as I say,
whether you like it or not.

And how is my "counseling"
supposed to work?

And how will we work together,
if we'll be separated by then?

They're waiting for us at the square.

You go.

After all, you're made for each other.
