Medusa (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

“EVERY TRUE AND DEEP LOVE
IS A SACRIFICE.” CARL JUNG
Everything points to my husband.
But I also gave the others
reasons to kill me.
Did you remember what you did to them?
I'm trying.
We should focus on Esteban and Tatiana
and get the evidence against them.
We can't focus only on them.
Why not?
We can't rule out any suspects.
And I'm going after your husband.
I'll follow him.
No, take care of my Uncle Camilo.
I'll follow Esteban.
You really are stubborn.
Let's do it.
I just want you… to take care of yourself.
Especially when you're alone with him
in the house.
There's not much I can do
to defend you there.
I can take care of myself.
The sooner we get that evidence,
the sooner this will be over.
You're right.
I have to go.
Thank you.
This is Bárbara Hidalgo's voicemail.
Leave a message after the tone.
This is Bárbara…
Oh, yes!
Keep going.
What?
Keep going.
I told you I was going to be with someone.
I don't want to bother you.
Why are you here then?
I just forgot you had plans.
Okay.
You can also have a good time
with whomever you want.
Enjoy yourself,
and show me what you've learned.
See you later at home.
What are you doing?
Waiting for you.
Shall we eat?
Tell me about that long therapy session.
I'm exhausted, and I'm not hungry.
Wait, wait, wait.
So?
-Was your therapy okay?
-I'll tell you later. I'm taking a bath.
Oh, my brother.
How could you get involved
with a married woman?
She's out of your league.
Take it easy, man.
Everything points to her husband,
but we can't rule anyone out.
So I need you to follow Camilo Hidalgo.
He must be hiding something.
We need to know what it is.
-What are you going to do?
-What do you think?
Oh, brother!
You've idealized that monster.
You've idealized that monster.
And don't forget…
Don't forget that she's also an Hidalgo.
I'm sure she's got her secrets.
She may have blood on her hands.
That woman is in serious trouble,
and I am going to help her.
What will you do when she remembers
that she was a bad woman
and she wasn't an angel?
One thing at a time.
Don't worry. I got this, pal.
Hey, Esteban the Great.
What's up, man?
Hey, can I have two glasses of whiskey?
How's everything?
-All good.
-All good?
All good. All great!
Didn't you recommend anyone to her?
Me? No. Because she hasn't…
She hasn't called me
for any advice or anything.
Why? What happened?
-Do you want me to ask her?
-No.
No, she just mentioned it.
You know it's hard at first.
-Well…
-Yeah.
-Salute!
-Cheers.
No, there are only files
with the Medusa software here.
Aren't there any messaging apps?
Damián doesn't allow us
to use the computer for messages.
I can check the internal emails.
Yes, go ahead.
Let's see.
Hello.
I'm looking for Mr. Esteban to sign this.
He's not here.
As you're here, I need the list of clients
and vendors' CEOs for the launch.
My husband has left a mess here.
I'll bring them over.
Thanks, darling.
Leave us alone.
I'll ask you a question.
I want an honest answer.
I'm good at detecting lies.
I'm bad at telling them.
How was I at work before the accident?
The ideal boss.
Could you be more specific?
Well…
You were always
a role model of punctuality
and hard work.
You were firm if you needed to be.
If you had to reward someone,
you did that too.
Okay.
Okay, thank you for your honesty.
-Sure.
-One more thing.
You spend a lot of time with my husband
because of work.
I was wondering
if you ever saw him with someone?
-No.
-You didn't?
I'm sorry for intruding.
Mr. Esteban would never cheat
on a woman like you.
-Please don't say anything.
-No.
Anything you need, tell me.
I need the lists.
Esteban, we must stick to the plan
and leave Barranquilla.
Relax. What's up?
I went to the office for you.
I found your wife looking for something.
She asked me if you have another woman.
What did you say?
"Yes, it's me."
You are an idiot sometimes.
She was obviously testing me.
Either she remembered everything,
or she wants to be my friend,
which I doubt.
We must leave now.
Stop it already, baby.
Do you know what could happen
if she finds out about us and the company?
We'd end up in jail.
Let's stick to the plan.
We'll keep our distance.
We won't raise any suspicion.
It's temporary. Okay?
We'll leave when the time is right.
Brother! Hey!
-You've finally come to work?
-Very well. And in this weather?
-How are you?
-All good.
-Great.
-I'll show you.
-Did you change your hair?
-No.
-Are you starting to go gray?
-No, man.
It seems you are.
I can see some gray hairs.
Right now, the mushroom
is at its most potent state.
This thing is ready
for processing in any form.
Whatever you say.
There it is. Harvesting ends today.
What about the suppliers?
I don't want them
to come up with anything.
No. They're confirmed.
They did their part.
Now it's Medusa's turn.
What about the launch?
Relax, man.
I knew you'd say that shit.
Don't tell me to relax.
This is serious, man.
The deal with the Asians depends on this.
Don't worry. I've got everything covered.
No, you don't have everything covered.
What about Bárbara? Has she said anything?
-I told you.
-She hasn't said anything.
Everything has to be perfect.
One fuck up, and we're all out of here.
Knowing the old man like I do,
he'll be waiting for that fuck up.
Easy, Cris.
You're under a lot of pressure.
Easy.
Use your pretty face. I'll do the rest.
-Coffee?
-That worries me.
-Do you want a coffee?
-Sure.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
So tell me!
How's it going with the new Bárbara?
-We're happy.
-Really?
It has been amazing.
It's a fresh start for us.
Being married for 20 years isn't easy.
But after the accident, I don't know.
Something happened,
and we want to give it a second chance.
-You've always been in love with her.
-Since high school.
Sure, I remember.
In any case, you can't go anywhere
because you'd end up with no money.
You must really love money
to put up with my sister all these years.
Some are driven by money, others by power.
And if it means sucking up
or doing whatever it takes, they'll do it.
Anyway, I don't judge you. I don't.
If I were you,
I would have murdered her long ago.
She has changed.
She is a completely different woman.
-Well, I'm glad.
-Thanks, bro.
I have a meeting with the old man.
I hope you still like
your favorite restaurant.
-Oh! I left my phone.
-Sure.
Give me my phone.
Come on, babe.
Have a seat, baby.
There you go.
-Shall we start with your mezcal?
-Why not?
Thanks.
Tajine, kibbeh.
Grape leaves.
Yes, I want my mezcal.
-I'm going to the restroom, love.
-Sure, honey.
What did we agree on?
I know,
but I told you I don't trust that man.
So you had the bright idea of coming here?
What if Esteban sees you?
Who cares? I'm not leaving you alone
with a potential murderer.
Danger, I am surrounded
by potential murderers!
Sure, whatever,
but I'm here to protect you.
Even if Esteban had wanted to kill me,
he wouldn't be so stupid to try it now.
-Did you tell him anything?
-No, but he's worried.
How could he not be worried? He failed.
If you want us to work as a team,
you have to trust me and do your part.
I'm on it.
What's up, dude?
Are you fucking kidding?
Clever little shit.
I knew he was up to something.
Send me the location. I'm on my way.
I'm in.
-Made the appointment for the prosthesis?
-Yes.
It'll take a while.
They have to take the impressions.
Tell me if you need me to call someone
to speed it up.
-Sure, baby.
-Okay.
I ran into Mario at the club.
We talked a bit.
He told me
he had no idea about your therapy.
I feel more comfortable
with someone we don't know.
Okay.
I wanted to understand.
Check.
Baby.
Do you trust me?
Completely.
It's just that I care,
and I want you to be perfect.
-Hey! Where are you going?
-Upstairs. Let's go!
-Did you bring the mic?
-Yes.
Give it to me.
This is the best one.
-And guess what?
-Tell me.
I paid a deposit for the bar.
But one thing.
I need the rest of the money, Camilo.
Of course. Cristian is the manager now.
CEO thanks to my vote.
He'll pay the rest of the money this week.
Wow, you're incredible. Let's see…
Babe.
Let's see.
Using high-tech microscopes,
we noticed that the mushrooms
increased their size.
MUSHROOMS IN MEDICINE
These mushrooms are found…
Motherfucker, don't look!
Don't look. Don't.
"In the north of the country." Fuck!
A UNIQUE AND UNKNOWN MIRACLE
What about Bárbara?
What has she done? What?
She's looking for information.
She doesn't remember much.
Is she going tonight?
I don't know.
But I'll find out now.
I want to know everything.
I need to stay ahead of Bárbara.
Make sure she doesn't come.
We don't know if she remembers.
I'll take care of it, sir.
Very well.
I want to simplify my life,
but I'm making it more complicated.
If you're saying that because of me,
don't worry.
-Will you stop following me?
-I was following that man.
Are you losing perspective because of us?
-Get outta here!
-You sure?
"Perspective" is my middle name.
Okay, Mr. Perspective.
Let's put this into perspective.
Let's dance really smoothly.
That's what you need. A good dance.
No, man.
-Let's move that body, gorgeous.
-No.
-Come here. Let's dance.
-Now?
Hey! You are good!
Of course.
Well done!
You're a good dancer!
WHO IS ESTEBAN ARCO, HIDALGO'S HUSBAND?
CAMILO HIDALGO RETIRES
He sold his vote for a bar.
You heard me right.
Your brother Cristian
bought Camilo's vote to be the new CEO.
He promised his lover that bar.
He could buy a dozen for him.
If the dough doesn't come
from his account, that's better.
Of course. There's no trace.
Exactly.
So, my Uncle Camilo
becomes the prime suspect?
That possibility is growing.
I have to talk to him.
Keep your eyes on the ball!
Go on, play!
-Good!
-That's it.
To the zone. Send it to the zone!
Don't throw him any balls!
Hi. What's up?
Hey. What's up?
That's what I said. What's up?
-I want to talk to you. Do you have time?
-Yes, sure.
Go ahead.
Did you vote for me as CEO
before the explosion?
What kind of question is that?
Of course I voted for you.
It would've made more sense
for you to vote for Cristian.
Of course. After the accident. Obviously.
Between you and me,
Cristian doesn't know where he stands.
I'd rather it was you.
But what can we do?
It's important for me
to know who supports me.
I do.
I've always supported you.
I do. I did. I will.
I love you,
and you're the only one I believe in.
Jacobo is about to finish.
Join us for lunch.
Thanks, but I can't. I don't have time.
You go!
What did the snake say?
Hi, Mrs. Bárbara.
Your brother wants to know
if you're coming.
He's scared. He doesn't want you to come.
Is the whole family going?
Well, they've all confirmed.
It doesn't matter what Cristian wants.
Listen to me.
I think your sister
is plotting against you.
Against me? Speak up!
She confirmed
that she wasn't coming tonight.
She's upset. She found out
you're doing business with Camilo.
With Camilo?
No, man.
That's a lie.
It's bullshit.
Excuse me.
What's up, Dad?
I hope you don't mess up.
Of course not.
If you do,
it'll give the impression I messed up
by ratifying your position with the Board.
You're always worried. Relax.
Everything is under control.
Did you get the champagne I sent you?
That's an aspirational drink.
-I'm not pretending to be rich.
-Right.
-Get me a decent drink!
-Yes, sir. Sure.
I'll be watching.
Motherfucker!
Good evening, good evening!
Thank you all for being here.
I'll explain the process first.
I promise I'll be as clear as possible.
So…
Look. There's your dad.
It's all good.
Excuse me.
How are you? Hi.
Excuse me.
How are you?
Excuse me.
How are you?
I'm sorry.
So… Well…
By using high-resolution microscopes,
we found that mushroom extracts
and their active ingredients
greatly increased
the mushrooms' size and their…
Their growth cones.
Their growth cones.
The size of the cones.
I mean, the cone
is the core of this investigation.
What for?
So that the brain cells
detect their environment.
And establish new connections
with other neurons.
But without further ado,
straight to the point,
like we say here in Barranquilla…
DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMEN
…let's talk about what really
interests us, The Guide.
BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS
This mushroom, according to my vision,
will lead us to a worldwide conquest
of the holistic market.
It'll transform the way in which people
engage with and consume
alternative medicine.
Medusa made this discovery
in the mangroves of our northern Colombia.
When I saw it, I said,
"It's going to be called The Guide."
Because it will lead us to better health
without side effects.
We realized that this new species
will open a portal
to knowledge and protection.
Against cognitive disorders,
neurodegenerative disorders
and diseases such as Alzheimer's.
What's going on?
That was my idea. Cristian stole it.
-No.
-Yes.
Thank you!
-Hey, Barbie!
-Jacobo!
Wait a moment!
-Come here.
-Jacobo.
-Baby, let's go.
-Jacobo, you're drunk.
We should go.
Stop it, Jacobo.
-Hey, cousin!
-Stop it.
Where to? You aren't going to bed.
You're the biggest party animal.
Did you forget that too?
You're just very lucky.
Not only are you immortal,
but you also don't remember
your toxic, wonderful family,
starting with you.
Unbelievable, isn't it?
What Jacobo means right now
is that some things are best forgotten.
-Exactly.
-They may be true or not.
Whatever happened, it ends here.
Good night.
Thank you. Rest.
I'm sure you remember everything.
Really?
Maybe I'm playing with you,
and I remember what I knew about you.
I'll tell you something
with absolute certainty.
What happened to me was not an accident.
One of you tried to kill me,
and I'll find out who it was.
