01x04 - Ataque de Pánico

[bunniefuu]

You didn't recognize Ikal.

- The guy next to Zoé?
- Yeah. Ikal González.

He worked here, in IT.

He was fired because of fraud,
he ended up in jail.

A person like that
wouldn't make it through the door.

He didn't just make it, he's with Zoé.

Belén, you have to warn her.
We have to get him out of the building.

- José.
- Yes?

The guy who was with Zoé just now,
did you see him?

- Yes. Yes.
- Did he go in?

We need him out
of the building, urgently.

- Yes, ma'am.
- He went that way. He has a beard.

It's José at the main gate.

This whole floor is dedicated
to Focal Point.

- Well, you already know.
- Yeah, yeah, perfectly.

Ms. Zoé, we need your companion's ID.

- Again. Well, here it is.
- No, no, no.

Jorge, I already told your partner
he's with me, there's no need.

Matías, could you tell me
why you hired a thief as Zoé's driver?

I didn't hire him, she did.

Explain, then.

Ikal doesn't work for Focal Point.

He works directly for Zoé.
She's the one who pays him.

- God.
- Look, Ikal is a felon.

- You can't allow this.
- Then, talk to HR

or Delfino or anybody,
but I can't take care of this.

Really, cop, let me go.
I know exactly where the exit is.

What are you doing?

- Why are taking him out like his?
- Come with me, I need to make a report.

- Report?
- What report, Jorge?

There's nothing to report.

Miss, please, let me do my job.

You've known me my whole life,
I don't know what's all this.

Really. This ends here. Done.

I'm gonna get fired for this.

Hey, this cops is doing his job.
It's alright, I got this.

Yeah, it's okay.

- Please.
- Yeah, it's fine.

- This won't stay like this.
- There are ways to ask for stuff.

Juan, I need your help.

I'm sorry, Zoé, we can't just now.
We're in a lot of hurry.

Well, later doesn't work for me.

Maybe you could make
this woman understand

that what she's doing is an injustice.

Hey, not you nor anybody tells me
what I have to say or do.

But you can tell me
who I can or can't bring to the company.

Well, when the guest is a psycho,
an addict or a felon,

of course I can forbid you.

And I give a damn if he comes with you,

because my mission is to protect
Robles and Associates, you know?

You're mistaken
if you think Ikal is a felon.

No, you're mistaken!

We have access protocols, Zoé.
There are rules!

Well, I don't follow rules!

No, of course you don't
and you love to break them

and that always comes
with serious consequences.

Zoé! I'm scared!

Don't be scared! Isaac, wear the vest!

I'll take you out of here, trust me!

Isaac, wear the vest!

Zoé, I found them!

Here it is!

Isaac!

Put the vest on!

Zoé, here!

Isaac!

Isaac! Isaac! Isaac!

Isaac!

Isaac!

Isaac!

Isaac!

COLLISION

What happened?

Hey, is everything alright?
You don't remember?

You passed out in the parking lot.

And while we were on the way,

you told me to not take you
to a hospital,

to not take you to the hospital
for anything in the world.

And well, I listened to you.

- We went to the market.
- Yes.

- Just this.
- To get lavender.

Yeah.

My grandma used to say lavender
is the best medicine to soothe the mind.

and I think it worked.

- You're an expert.
- What? On plants?

- No.
- On saving my life.

Right.

AEROMTR, SERVICES AND REPAIRING

EMERGENCY EXIT

NO PARKING

- Marina.
- Hey, LJ.

What are you doing around here?

No, you know, first what pays, then...

You know.

I came to collect some money
for some security consultancy, and you?

Routine work. You know.

Well, say hi to the guys from me, okay?

Maybe you could come over,
they'll be glad to see you.

- Yeah, one of these days. To see them.
- Alright, then.

Take care. When are you due?

- It's not long now.
- Alright.

Take care.

Who was that, boss?

A colleague. Well, former colleague.

What happened? Did they say anything?

Nobody knows anything
about the mechanic.

Nobody knows anything
or no one wanted to tell you anything?

- Good point, boss.
- Hold this.

Where are you going?

- To talk to these morons.
- But I already did it, boss.

I already told them.

- We have to do it back, you know?
- Yeah.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

I'm the inspector, Marina Valdés.

I know my partner just talked to you
and I wanna tell you something.

There's nothing more suspicious

than none of you
knowing anything about a coworker

who you supposedly worked with
for so many years.

So, I'll give you 24 hours
to refresh your memory.

If you don't, I'll have to come back
for each one of you and interrogate you.

And I never fail in that.

I always find something
that interests me.

Are we clear, gentlemen?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.

Excuse me.

Here.

No, Mati. Yeah, I'm good. Relax.

I mean, really.

Thanks for that info.
Yeah, I'll see you later.

Bye.

Is everything okay?

Yes and no.

Look, like my mom was right and...

if you have a record,
you can't enter the building.

I owe you an apology.

No, no. You don't owe me anything.

Your good intention is enough for me.

Believe me, knowing that you tried...

I really appreciate that.
Really, thank you.

Anyway, I'm not firing you. I mean...

You'll have to wait for me
in the car a little longer, that's all.

Wait?

That's fine.

Let's say
I have a bachelor's in waiting.

So, count me in.

I need to ask you
for something, because...

Thank you for worrying about me,
but the one who matters here is you.

Your health.
When you fainted, you were shaking.

Yes.

I don't really talk about that often.

I mean, don't feel obligated,

you don't need to tell me
anything if you don't want to.

- Alright. Really.
- It's not necessary.

You must have so much questions.

- You saved my life twice now.
- Well.

What I did for you, believe me,
I would've done it for anybody.

So, I'm not expecting
for anything in exchange.

No, no. No.

I don't feel pressured.
I wanna do it because I trust you.

Besides, I'm sure you have
a lot of questions

about everything that has
happened to us in general. Yeah.

Yeah, since that moment, right?

Well, it was a pretty
intense moment for me, really.

And I think it has been the most intense
moment I've had in my life, to this day.

Really. I mean it.

I don't know, but since that day...

I can't stop thinking...

it has been something
very nice and special for me.

My grandma used to say that

when a moment touches you
in a way that's that special,

stays with you your whole life.

That's what it is for me.

Something very nice and special.

For me, too.

Considering that night was
a bit chaotic.

Yeah.

You know better than anyone,
Mr. Senator,

that there are too few politicians
who truly represent the people.

And I mean the ordinary people,
those from below.

No, we totally agree on that.

Because I'm the son of wage earners.

My parents broke their backs
to give me an education.

I'm totally convinced you'd represent
the Mexican people better than anyone.

Don't tell me you've never thought

of being something bigger
than a Senator.

Exactly. Knowledge. Career.

Closeness with people.
Flawless reputation with your party.

You have it all. And more, Senator.

Everything and more.

That's good
for a campaign slogan, isn't it?

Margarito Tabares,

- "Everything and more."
- "Everything and more."

- Cheers to that.
- Cheers.

The first panic attack I had

was when my brother died.

I couldn't talk about it and...

I'm truly sorry.

I can't imagine going through that pain.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Then, the attacks came more often and...

and I fell into a black hole, I mean...

Actually, it was
around the time that I...

When we met.

Yes.

Huge crisis. I mean...

- Right.
- You'll remember.

Then I got better, for a while.

But now, with my dad's deal.
I don't know, it triggered back.

Is there a way I can help you?

- No. I don't know.
- Count on me for anything you need.

You're already helping me, this is...

You have no idea how much
you're doing for me, really.

Hey, Zoé.

I don't mean to meddle but,
don't you think it's a good idea

you saw a physician, an specialist?

No, not really.
I mean, I have seen them.

All they do is giving you pills
and disconnect you, really.

I'm like numb, I don't.
No, it doesn't work for me.

This is good for me. This.

This is good for me.

Well, I'm not a doctor or anything.
That's why I say an specialist.

But you know how to listen
and that's enough.

Thank you.

I learned to listen in jail.

Jail teaches you to take things easier.

But I'm here.

And thanks for telling me. For trusting.

Yeah.

Surely, I need to learn
to take things easier, too.

- Thank you.
- Thank you very much. So kind.

As you well know, Senator,

our interests are now facing
towards mining.

A topic not free from controversy.

- That depends, Senator.
- Yes, because one thing is

that Congress is about to pass a law
that will hinder our investments

and a very different one

is that no one can do anything about it.

My hands are tied. What can I say?

Although, I do know certain people...

friends who are Senators who would have
the judgement to stop that initiative.

Look, Senator.

Besides, think this is
an exploration project

that's respectful with the environment

and capable of creating several jobs,
on top of it.

Sure. For instance, you can propose
to the Congress a bill

that can modify royalties
from a 7,5 percent to 8,5 percent, sir.

No, man, forget about that.

Business people will never agree.

We're the business people, Senator.

The scenario is fabulous.

Imagine, is the government
the one investing

in that forgotten land
and they'll love you.

You'll look like the savior
of the vulnerable.

Like the bridge between that old Mexico
and the one we deserve.

The president Mexico needs.

I'm just asking you
to take it out of the fridge, Sebas.

When I get there, I'll cook it.

Hey, please, just take it out.
I'll get there and make it.

Nothing's gonna happen, okay? Yeah.

I know you're hungry.

I have to go now,
I'll be there soon, okay?

Alright. Bye.

- Tell him not to wait you for dinner.
- What?

I need you to cancel tomorrow's guest.

What, Andy? It's all set.

Change of plans.

Focal Point was included
in a media plan and I need you to do it

- so we're not left out.
- What?

Can you get this
from the drugstore, please?

I need my pills.

- Are you serious, Andy?
- Just do it. Just do it.

Hello. Is all set for tomorrow?

Bárbara, I just wanted to talk
about it to you two.

- Tomorrow's show topic changed.
- The topic changed.

- Really? What's the topic?
- Mining.

- The order comes from Presidency.
- And we can't reschedule?

The guest has too many commitments
and is only available tomorrow.

Make Laura get another guest.

Sure, Bárbara,
I'll get you one right away.

I'm not telling Mrs. Belén
to change a guest she suggested herself.

Okay, I'm not doing an interview
about a topic I don't know.

I need days to study.

You don't need
to prepare much, princess.

- They already sent the questions
- One second. Yeah.

and that's what has to be done.

She may be the President,

but you can't let yourself
be pawned around like that.

- Excuse me?
- It's just my opinion,

but if you let her do this once to you,
she'll do it all the time.

Nobody asked for your opinion, Bárbara.

Alright.

The order comes from...?

Upstairs.

So, think carefully
if you're obeying or not.

- I'll go study.
- Thank you.

Boss, I have good news.
I know where the mechanic is.

- San Miguel de Allende?
- Yeah.

That moron is on vacation.

A friend of his called
and spilled the beans.

Well, if it's true,
we need to find out where he's staying.

I know, and that's why I brought backup.

This is it, Camacho.

- No mustard, right?
- No mustard.

This company has cool things,
but they're old-fashioned about others.

That needs to change.

- Good morning,.
- Hi. Do you want coffee?

- Yeah.
- See you later.

Yeah.

- How are you?
- I saw Ikal downstairs.

Yeah.

I mean, we're following the rules,
as a lawyer advised me.

- Obviously.
- Yeah.

I talked to my dad, as well.

He said you could
come over by his house anytime

and he'll give you his opinion.

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

- This is terrible, right?
- Yeah.

- No, it's really bad.
- Really bad.

The one in my office is much better.

Yeah, we should have
to change this coffee maker

so everybody had better coffee, I think.

- Right?
- I think it's fair.

Matías?

Hi, good morning.
Could we talk for a minute?

We have a serious problem.

- Do you want me to...?
- No, no, no.

Tell me.

It's Bárbara.

She woke up hoarse
and can't do the show today.

What? How come she can't do it?

I need you to talk to Mrs. Belén
and ask her to postpone

the show about mining she asked for.

- She'll listen to you.
- No, no, no. We're not doing that.

We need to show Belén we can react.

Or do you want them to take
Focal Point from us?

No, right? Alright.

Hello? Hi, Mati, how are you?

Hey, Bárbara, how are you?

I'm so sick.

I went to the doctor and he told me
I should go home.

But, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm really sorry,
but I can't do today's interview.

And I know this is Belén's order,
but really, I'm so sick.

- Okay, okay, take care.
- Kisses.

It's so hard to be sick.

Hey, how are you?

I'm off work today. Do you have plans?

Remember what I told you?

Well, not even Belén Robles
bosses me around.

So, what are we doing today?

- And?
- I'm thinking.

I could do it.

- I mean, just today.
- That's not necessary, Zoé. Thanks.

- Why?
- Because it's not that easy.

That's why you have
another position in here.

But I didn't say it was easy,
I said it doesn't mean I can't do it.

The mining topic is very complex, Zoé.

That's why I suggest we roll
a re-run today and explain Mrs. Belén.

- Mati.
- No.

Mati, listen to me.

The first documentary I did
was about climate change.

I studied a lot about mining,
I think I can do this.

We have to take into account that now,

Robles and Associates
has investments in mining.

Our guest is Senator Margarito Tabares.

Why him? I don't get it.

Shouldn't be somebody
with a less political approach?

- Mati.
- It's not our call, Zoé.

Alright. Well, let me read on the topic
and I'll see what I've done...

No, I already told you
you're not doing it.

Matías, can we look
for another solution, please?

Alright, Andy,
Zoé is trying to propose things.

So, why don't we
help her think, instead?

It's not that I don't wanna help her,

it's just that the audience will resent

that Bárbara is not the anchorwoman.
That's not good for us.

I won't say it again.
Your work is helping Zoé to solve.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Alright. Positive, not negative.

Could you go to your position,
Juan Carlos, please?

I want precision, Albertina.

Carla, I think that's fine.

Thank you. Mati.

Hey.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Do I look like a clown?

- No, you look stunning.
- Tell me the truth.

- You look stunning. Stunning. Really.
- Are you sure?

So, how do you feel?

- Nervous, really. Yeah.
- Alright.

Do you want me to cancel it?

- We're on time. I could talk...
- No, no, no.

- What are you talking about? No, no.
- No?

The kind of nervousness
that's good for me.

It just helps me face my fears
and my mom is one of them, so...

You'll be incredible.

Matías, let me introduce you
to Senator Tabares.

- Senator, how are you? Welcome.
- My pleasure.

It's all mine.

Come with me.

- Dear.
- Good evening. How are you?

- Good. Nice to meet you.
- Go ahead, please.

- How have you been?
- It's all good. Thank you, Zoé.

Well, is this your first time
doing an interview?

Yes. Yes, it's my first time.

Don't worry.
Surely, you'll do it very well.

Thank you very much.

- You can have a seat.
- Thank you.

Sir? Yes, sir.

- No one come across, please.
- Now.

- Your tie, Senator.
- Yes.

- Zoé, ready?
- Yes.

In five, four, three, two...

Good evening. Welcome to Focal Point.

A space for analysis
where the main character is also you.

Welcome, Senator, thanks for joining us.

It's a pleasure.
Thank you for the invitation.

It'll be always a pleasure coming
to the Robles and Associates facilities.

Especially, after the sad passing
of your father.

My dear friend, Miguel Ángel Robles.

Thank you, Senator.

Senator Margarito Tabares is
today with us to tell us about a topic

that, without a doubt,
will set the country's agenda

for the upcoming years. Mining.

- Prepare clip.
- Before hearing the senator,

let's watch a video

about the so-called
"white gold," lithium,

a mineral that's found widely
in our country, particularly

in the Sierra Madre Occidental.

Play it.

Sea, desert, mountains,
birthplace of presidents,

a land of indigenous ethnic groups
that make us proud.

Sonora has everything.

But what does this land
has to do with electric cars

or a state-of-the-art phone?

Look, child, they're talking
about Sonora.

The town where your grandpa's house is.

- Lithium.
- Really, mom? Where?

A curse or a blessing for Sonora's
native people?

What? What happened, Bárbara?
I can't talk.

The government has the last word.

Now let's begin, Senator.

Is it true that lithium is
the mineral of the future?

It is, and I'll tell you why.

Even better, I'll show you why.

It's not just subtle for the uses
mentioned in that excellent report,

but it's also good for manufacturing
bulletproof vests.

It's also used to create
air-conditioning systems

like the one in this nice studio,

as for manufacturing ceramics,
and so on.

Its uses are practically infinite.

That sounds wonderful,

but we can't ignore
that any mineral exploitation

is detrimental for the environment,
do you agree?

You're right about that, child.

But the main mining companies
have understood their role very well

as main actors in the protection
of the environment.

They can't turn a blind eye
as they did before. No.

Not while they're under
strict surveillance by the government.

Now, don't you think that,

the higher the demand,
the impact could be higher?

I mean, because this could impact
the communities settled in said regions.

Are you capable of ensuring us here,
live, in front of the whole public,

that the water sources supplying
that area won't be affected?

Hey, that wasn't in the script.

Andy. Andy, Andy, Andy.

Let her. She knows what she's doing.

- It's about exposing the joint effort,
- I hope so.

the benefits of it between
the private company and the State.

Yes, but I don't think
you're being objective because...

Because if you were better informed,

you'd understand that Mexico
has a regulatory legal framework

that guarantees, one,

protection of the environment

and two, reinvesting royalties
in the areas most in need.

But the country's reality has shown
that this legal framework

tends to change depending
on the political interests on call.

What the hell are you doing, Zoé?

Responsible mining.

That's the question.

We couldn't agree more there, Senator.

I think it's a great moment
to invite you,

if you're watching at home,

to use Focal Point socials to contact us

and send all the questions
you have for the Senator.

And also tell us
about "responsible mining."

No. We've never invited people
to participated in the show.

- We're doing it. Period.
- It's not the format.

Excuse me. Can you display the socials
on all screens for people to comment?

On all of them.

Dad.

No, I don't know anything
about that mineral

they're talking about on TV.

Don't be such a pessimist, dad.

What if that man wants to invest
his money somewhere else?

Look, Paloma want to talk to you.

Yeah, yeah, dad. Bye. Take care.

Hi, grandpa.

No, here, slacking around. Studying.

Yeah.

I have something cool to tell you.

Ikal found a job.

At Robles and Associates.
Where my dad used to work.

It's a convenient alliance,
from every perspective.

Excuse me.

- Delfino, what's wrong with you?
- You need to see this.

Isidro Pérez asks,

"The example of other countries
in South America

is not a parameter to stop any
concession for environmental permits?"

RESPONSIBLE MINING

I told you we're solving it, Marc.
Everything has an explanation, I'm sure.

Pick up, Matías, damn it.

- They're asking from the flower shop...
- No, you solve it!

- Yes...
- Damn it!

Five thousand orchid won't be enough
to apologize to the Senator.

Matías.

Can you explain me what's going on here?

What you asked us for.

You picked a topic
and we're taking on it in the best way.

Mexico can't stay stuck in the past.

Not when the rest of the areas
of economy are falling behind, please.

Yes, maybe.

We have another question
coming from Sonora.

I mean, what's my daughter
doing sitting there?

Our anchorwoman got sick

and it was putting Zoé
or canceling the show.

Get the social media
out of the screen immediately

or Focal Point is over right now
and I'll only tell you once, Matías.

Take them out.

Javi. Take them out. Thanks.

- Hurry!
- It's done.

They won't have any problem

when these mineral extraction practices
get implemented.

I'm sorry. We're suffering
a little problem with...

I think it's Focal Point socials.

I don't know if you can help us
from the booth.

Now, tell Zoé to ask the Senator

about the bill that will help
communities, please.

Zoé, I need you to ask the Senator

about the project he's proposing
in the Senate.

Zoé.

Zoé, I order you to ask the Senator
what Andy just told you, damn it!

Sadly, we haven't been able to restore

- the communication with social media,
- She's such an idiot.

but it has been a great interview.

Thank you, Margarito, for your time,
for being with us tonight.

Thanks everyone
for participating from home.

This was Focal Point.

Holy crap.

Senator, I have to explain...

I don't know if that was a move
to make me look like a fool

or you're testing me

- None of that has to do with you.
- to see what I'm made of.

- No. Enough.
- I...

- One second, Senator, please.
- Do what you can to calm him down.

- I beg you.
- Is everything alright?

Piss off!

Aitana, it was great.
I'll tell you later.

I'll call you later. Bye.

Wait, wait. Before you said anything.

- What?
- The good one or the bad one?

- The good one, please.
- Okay. Let's start with the good one.

Focal Point just broke records
in the show thanks to you.

You have to see the comments.

- It's insane. Read this.
- Really?

"Is it my impression or finally
this show is saying things as they are?"

It's full of these.

And the bad one.
Well, the bad one isn't that bad.

The bad one is that your mom is
macro-pissed at me

- and she told me about everything.
- No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But whatever.

- I'm sorry.
- Whatever, whatever, whatever.

Where are we going to celebrate?

- No.
- What?

Ikal waited for me all day,
I think it's mean...

It's a special day,
we have to celebrate.

Ikal, it's no problem
if we leave, right?

- No, not at all. No, no, no.
- See? Please.

- Let's go, Miss Records!
- See you tomorrow.

Sleep tight.

You too.

We're looking for Mr. Julio Jiménez.
We know he's staying in this hotel.

Julio Jiménez.

Yes, I haven't seen him
coming in or out in a couple days.

Can you take us to his room?

Of course. This way, please.

It's urgent we talk to him.

Okay.

We drove over 180 miles to see him.

- Take us there.
- Well, follow me.

Okay.

Sadly, the reality of this country
has shown that this legal framework

tends to change depending
on the political interests on call.

Good.

Good.

Mati. Listen.

- No, you listen to me. Listen.
- What?

- I'm gonna fire Bárbara.
- No!

Yeah, I'm gonna fire her.

Why? You can't fire her. Hey, listen.

They only reason I covered for her is
because it had to be done,

somebody had to do it,
but I was scared to death.

No, if you were scared to death,

- what are you gonna do when you're...
- Matías, please.

- too scared, terrified?
- No. Listen to me. Listen to me.

Something I really care about.

Focal Point is really important to me.

And I have many ideas
I want to propose to you.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Can I tell you something very cheesy?

- Very.
- Yeah.

Since you came back from London,
I'm happy.

And I'm firing Bárbara.

Yeah, I'm gonna fire her, because...

- Please, don't fire her.
- Yeah.

- Besides, you're much taller.
- No!

Enough. Okay? Shut up already.

Did you have dinner yet?

I'm not hungry, mom.

Look.

Tell me.

Those miserable in the Robles group
don't give you any dinner?

Paloma talked to my dad over the phone
and I heard everything.

Really?

Well, mom, I'm not really working
for the company, it's more like...

Well, yeah, I'm working for Zoé.
That's very different.

Just by mentioning that darned people,
I can't stop thinking about your dad.

Look, mom, we need to pay those guys.

They won't play around.
And they know where to find us, Paloma.

The house.

Look, son, I know you.

You got an idea in that head

and you don't wanna tell me
to not make me worry.

No. No, mom. Cheers.

Believe me.

CONGRATS, YOU WERE AMAZING
I REALLY ADMIRE YOUR STRENGTH

You're so strange, really.

You did it on purpose.

Do what?

You did the interview to ridicule me.

The only one in ridicule is the Senator,
who couldn't answer one damned question.

Zoé, if you don't remember,

the future of Robles and Associates
depends on mining.

And of obtaining a permit,
which we don't have.

- Right.
- And you...

just humiliated the only man
who could help us in front of everybody.

I don't know, don't blame me
for your bad choices. What can I say?

Zoé, look at me.

Look at me.

Look who's talking about bad decisions.

Your decisions...

ended my life.

Ended with my boy's life.

Your own brother.

How many times do I have to tell you
that it's not my fault Isaac is dead?

Mom said we couldn't go out.

I don't care what mom says.
I wanna leave here.

A storm is coming,
we can't sail like this.

If you don't wanna come with me,
then I'll leave alone.

Isaac, in serious.
It's going to pour hard.

Come back, you don't even
have experience, you're a kid.

I don't care!

Isaac. Isaac, come back.

You shouldn't have let him go!

I did what I could, I swear!

No! It wasn't enough! You were there!

You were there, damn it!

Shut up! Shut up!

I did what I could!
It's just never enough for you!

Why the hell do you hate me so much?

I can't forgive this.

Do you understand?

Now what?

Are you gonna draw attention
with your panic attacks again?

This?

This is what you need?

This? Swallow them all at once!

- Good evening.
