Medusa (2025) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Good morning. My name is Danger.
Nice to meet you. Welcome.
I don't have the right words like Clara,
and I'm not as clear as she is.
I'm sorry about that.
It's really hard for me
to talk about my issues.
I want to tell you why I am here.
This shit started a long time ago.
ONE YEAR AGO
Saúl wasn't just my colleague
in the investigative unit.
He was also my friend.
He was like my brother.
He was happily married.
He had small kids.
Hey, pal.
He wanted the same for me.
He wanted me to have a family.
Settle down.
Or you'll get the wrong woman pregnant.
You hit the jackpot with Tere, brother.
It's not easy to find someone.
But in the end,
you have a great reason to go back home.
You'll find the right woman.
Delta One from Central Station.
The captain authorized
the operation in Cuchilla de Villate.
Copy that. I'll be there ASAP.
Where are you going?
You'll wait here.
I'll get there, be done with this,
and we'll grab something to eat.
I can go alone if you're scared.
You told me you have a good reason
to go back home, right?
You go back then. I don't have a reason.
Stay here.
Watch my back.
It was important
to arrest someone in the area.
Especially Cyclops's gang.
He ran the street-level drug dealing.
Hey, guys. Are we working or what?
Yes, sir!
POLICE
Everybody freeze!
Freeze! On the floor! Freeze!
Distinguished gentleman.
Hey, Danger!
Cyclops will find you and fuck you up.
Get him out of here.
Goodbye, motherfucker.
Watch out!
Let's go.
Cover me!
Danger!
Danger!
"PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING, HOWEVER ABSURD,
TO AVOID FACING THEIR SOULS."
CARL JUNG
Saúl died because of me.
And I changed forever.
Tell that motherfucker Cyclops
to show himself.
Get the hell out of here
before I shoot you, fucker.
Where's Cyclops, asshole?
Where's Cyclops?
I killed Cyclops' entire gang one by one.
Where's Cyclops?
Except for him.
You can kill all of them,
but you won't find me.
After he died,
in my free time…
I started working
as a private investigator.
Three things motivated me.
My dog Bandolera.
Staying on with the police to find Cyclops
and make that motherfucker pay.
And the third one…
was to keep on working
as a private investigator
to get some extra bucks for Saúl's family.
To help them.
I carry a lot of karma.
I think I've found a way
to start paying it off.
I met a woman
who went through something awful.
I want to help her.
Even if it costs me my career.
Or my life.
Sharing this is good.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
You're brave, brother.
You are.
Well, my brave friends.
That's all for today.
GODDESS
MISSED CALL
Danger?
Do you want to get a drink?
A coffee?
I'd love to, Clari.
But I have to hustle. I've got to go.
Maybe some other time.
-Is that okay?
-Sure. That's cool.
Hey, Clari.
Thank you. You know?
I don't want my husband to find out.
No, that one isn't ready yet. Leave it.
Turn it over. Exactly.
Could you leave us alone, girls?
I'll cook French fries with truffle oil
and Parmesan cheese to die for.
How were things between us
before the explosion?
Tell me the truth.
Wonderful.
Honey,
we were-- We are the perfect couple.
We never cheated on each other?
According to you, what should I tell her?
"Since you're not dead, I want a divorce"?
Precisely. She's out of her mind.
Let's take advantage of it.
Sit down and tell her,
"Honey, before the accident,
we were about to separate."
Esteban, I know you're lying to me.
We had a pact. Why are you lying?
We had an open relationship.
It doesn't mean we had a bad one.
What?
You proposed it.
-Did I?
-You did.
-Was it my idea?
-Yes.
You told me,
"We've been together for 20 years.
I want to try new things."
"I want to breathe new air."
And I accepted.
I want to be clear about this.
Before the accident, you and I said,
"No more. It's over."
I can't do this to Bárbara now.
I don't want to.
It's about my daughter.
What should I tell her?
"Dad is leaving"? No way.
You won't do it because you're a lazy ass.
-That's why.
-Stop fucking pressuring me!
Honey.
Babe.
Before the accident, you and I were, damn,
in the prime of our relationship.
Honey.
I'll make the fries.
-I have a doctor's appointment.
-At this hour?
I have some follow-up checkups.
-Can you pick Maya up?
-Yes, but I'll drive you.
-Sure?
-See you later.
-I'm sure.
-Don't go alone.
I'm okay. See you in a while.
Okay.
This isn't the way.
Let's be smart.
Let's think of the business.
What would Damián say
if I left his daughter?
Have you lost your memory too?
Cristian manages the company.
Honey, you are too naive.
That ass-kisser brother-in-law of mine
is Damián's puppet.
Don't get mad. I'm sorry.
-Sorry for shouting.
-Don't touch me.
What? You weren't nice to me either.
-Go away.
-Come here.
Go away.
DANIA
CALLING
Mrs. Hidalgo. Is everything all right?
All good.
Any progress in the investigation,
Detective?
Not much.
I've been checking
the cameras we have on file,
but you know I have to play it safe.
Yes, I know.
I haven't found much.
We talked to the people on the dock.
We checked out what they told us,
but nothing yet.
What are you up to?
I'd prefer to discuss it in person
if you have time later.
Of course.
I always have time for you.
Okay, Da-- I'll call you, Detective.
Call me by my name.
We don't need to be so formal.
Okay.
I'll call you, Danger.
That's more like it.
Amazing.
You didn't tell me we knew each other.
You made me think you were a stranger
and let me go back to my family. Why?
Because I trusted you would
figure it out on your own after a while.
What happened between us?
Everything.
Eluney, I need your help.
I feel different.
I can't remember half of my life.
I don't know what to think of myself
and the people around me.
I am desperate.
You were like this
the first time you came here.
How so?
Bárbara, you came here
because you wanted to heal.
You came to me because you were looking
for someone who worked with plants,
with substances.
What did I come to heal?
I don't have that answer.
The Guide has it.
What guide?
The Guide is a key.
A key that can open
all the doors you need.
Who was I before?
I love you, sly fox.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you, sly fox.
Look at me, Bárbara. Breathe.
Bárbara.
-What are you doing?
-I can't. I don't want to.
Bárbara, stay.
You have to go all the way.
The more I remember, the less I want to.
You can't drive like that.
You have The Guide inside.
Bárbara, are you listening?
Thank you.
Look me in the face
and tell me you have another woman.
-Calm down. Damn it!
-What's her name?
What's her name, Damián?
Mom.
Hello.
Yes?
What?
Is she okay?
BÁRBARA
CELL PHONE
In recent months, we've seen
extreme climate patterns across the globe.
Long heat waves
have affected several areas
in Europe, North America, and Asia.
Temperatures over 45 degrees Celsius.
There have been health issues,
forest fires, and droughts…
-My phone was ringing.
-Yes.
Who was it?
Bárbara.
It has increased changes
in weather patterns.
Latin America witnessed this…
Three missed calls.
You didn't tell me.
Turn it down.
The rainfall, although it's good,
has damaged infrastructures.
Baby, how are you?
I couldn't answer.
I was in a… I was in a meeting with…
What happened?
I'm sorry. I was in meetings.
-Julián, how are you?
-Esteban.
What happened?
What happened?
Paulina said I pushed her.
But she pushed me.
Suddenly, she slapped me.
-Where, sweetie?
-Just a moment.
Paulina said Maya started it all.
She's lying.
What's wrong with you?
Why did you push me?
-Do you like pushing people?
-You like to be pushed.
You're a damn asshole!
It's nonsense.
Did she hit you out of nowhere?
If that girl did something to you, say it.
Trust us.
Paulina has been sending me
insulting notes for a while.
There are two different versions
of the story.
And one of you is lying.
Why do you think it's Maya?
Bárbara.
I taught her to be honest,
to face the consequences of her actions.
I believe you, my dear.
In any case,
Maya will receive the same punishment
as her classmate.
Do we agree?
What is it?
A week's suspension.
Now excuse me.
I have to talk to Paulina's parents.
-Sure.
-Dad!
Sit down.
Okay.
Look at me.
What is it, Maya? We're alone.
Baby. Baby.
What? I'm sorry.
I didn't want to embarrass you
in front of Julián,
but I feel you aren't being honest.
Why haven't we talked about it?
We didn't know you had an issue with her.
-I didn't want to be a snitch.
-That's not being a snitch.
Respect yourself.
Don't tolerate any abuse.
I didn't want to worry you either.
Why is she picking on you?
Jealousy?
My darling,
this happens to people who shine.
SLY FOX
-Who is it?
-What?
Who is it?
A client who's driving me crazy.
I can't wait to be done with it.
Go with your dad.
I have an appointment.
-Now?
-My first session with the therapist.
See you at home.
Don't worry.
I'll protect you from anything.
Tell me the truth now!
INVALID ACTION, ENTER PASSWORD
INVALID ACTION, ENTER PASSWORD
MEDUSA LAB
Bárbara, sister, open the door.
Easy, Cristian, easy.
Sorry for just dropping in.
Don't worry. I'm available 24/7 for you.
I may have the password
to one of the files.
-Did you remember it?
-Not exactly.
I recalled that my husband was sleeping
with Medusa's Purchasing Manager, Tatiana.
I think they had
or have more than just sex.
-Let's try.
-Yes, of course.
Let's try.
-It's ready.
-Open the file "Esteban."
Try the password "sly fox."
No, that's not it.
Capitalize the first letter,
just like in Esteban's phone.
It worked.
Did Esteban really think he could fool me?
That's a lack of commitment.
What an insult to my intelligence.
He betrayed our pact of an open marriage.
He fell in love with his mistress.
If he lies to me about that,
he's capable of anything.
I love you. I love you.
My husband plans to live
far away from us and my family.
I love you, my love.
A family that gave him opportunities
and trusted him
despite his lack of talent,
charisma, and class.
As if that weren't enough,
he and his mistress embezzled from Medusa.
Hundreds of millions in contracts?
And overbillings?
Semilla Mágica de Abalón.
I know it. Fertilizers and nutrients.
Today, January 10th, I take office as CEO.
Tomorrow, I plan to turn them in
to the police.
I want to be a role model for my daughter.
I'll teach her that, in our family,
women never lose.
NEW MESSAGE
Are you okay? I can give you a ride.
No, it's okay.
I have something to tell you,
Mrs. Bárbara.
Your brother asked me
to become your friend.
What for?
Come in.
Did you send for me, sir?
Gabo is here!
What's up?
All good, sir. Busy.
-Great.
-Sir.
Bro.
I want you to get close to Bárbara
like you used to be.
Smoothly.
Of course, sir.
But she doesn't remember me.
You'll start all over again.
I need to know what Bárbara has in mind.
Don't you believe she lost her memory?
She became a different person overnight.
He's convinced
that you want to take over his post.
You'll keep on playing
both sides like before.
Yes, but I'm only faithful to you.
-Thank you, Gabriel.
-You're welcome.
I understand, sir. Of course.
You know you can count on me.
That's great.
Also, I need you to decrypt this
and put my name
in all the files you find there.
Sure. I'll do it.
Only two things. Easy.
-Perfect. I'll start working on this now.
-Okay.
-Slide on in! Welcome.
-Thank you.
-Do you want a beer?
-Yes.
Great.
I'm cooking something nice.
Are you vegetarian?
-No, I eat everything.
-That's great.
I'm making one of my favorite dishes.
You'll see.
I met the woman who rescued me.
To thank her?
Yes, and to try to remember.
She helped me heal my body…
So she could help you find
that loose screw.
Am I right?
Exactly.
How did it go in the mangrove?
I remembered my husband has a mistress
and they're embezzling from Medusa.
How's that?
I was going to report them
before the accident.
Does he know that you know?
I'm not sure about that.
He tried to convince me
that we were the perfect couple.
Do you realize
that makes him the prime suspect?
Of course I do.
He and Tatiana could have done it.
Yes, that's a possibility.
What's more painful?
Finding out how despicable my family is
or realizing that I was just like them?
-Don't be hard on yourself.
-You didn't know me.
I don't recognize myself.
I used to do strange things.
Nothing justifies
them wanting to kill you.
I don't know what to think.
Sometimes I don't know
if they're memories,
or if I'm imagining things.
I'm losing my mind.
Don't worry. I'll protect you.
Even from the old Bárbara.
You hear me?
