In the Mud (2025) s01e07 Episode Script

Episode 7

1
EVENTS AND CHARACTERS ARE FICTIONAL.
ANY LIKENESS TO REALITY IS COINCIDENCE.
Ms. Moranzón, I imagine that you've read
the prosecutor's report by now.
It's quite negative.
Your Honor, I'd like to be frank with you,
if that's all right.
Go ahead.
I have been working with my client
for months now on Gastón's case.
He's a four-year-old boy
who lives with his mother.
And together, they live
in a modest apartment in Villa Lugano.
I know this case inside out, and
my opinion is very different from that.
It's true that
his mother has a history of addiction.
However, she's been clean and sober
for two years straight.
Gastón should stay with her.
Their house is full of love,
and I can't see anyone
looking after Gastón better than Susana.
And the reason I'm sure of this
is because I've witnessed it firsthand.
I've seen it.
There's a very strong and very stable
emotional bond between them,
which is fundamental
for the psychological development
and well-being of her son.
Or any child
that might need help in the future.
Mommy, Mommy!
Look at this! Look at this! It's so cool!
Gastón, can you please
just be quiet for Christ's sake?!
Mommy, look at this! Can we play?
Can we play?
Let's go downstairs. Come on, Mommy.
Come on, Mommy!
Help! No!
This is a message for Miss Moranzón
on behalf of the tribunal of Dr. Martínez.
We need you to get in touch with us
immediately, please.
An accident occurred
involving the minor Gastón López.
I'm sorry to say he passed away.
The doctor wants to talk to you
since you are familiar with this case.
CAUSE OF DEATH: MULTIPLE FRACTURES
DUE TO A FALL FROM A HEIGH
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
IN THE MUD
I'm afraid she had
an allergic reaction to the sedatives.
No, you're full of shit.
That's the second girl to die
in childbirth in two months.
And now we're in trouble because
Judge Romero's under investigation.
Guess they found
your name on the paperwork.
Really? Just my name?
Well… then they must not be very good.
'Cause you're just as responsible
as I am for all of this.
You heard she was screaming like crazy,
crying for her baby.
So I handled things
because you weren't there for her.
You're perverted.
And you've lost your edge.
You can't manipulate them
the way you used to.
What're you talking about? You know
exactly what my objective is here.
All I ever wanted
was to get these kids out
of fucking prison and into better homes.
I'm in it for the money,
and we're partners in this.
Meaning if I go down,
I'm bringing you with me. You understand?
What happened with Romero?
Who even told you?
I found out from the governor.
But don't worry,
he's not going to do anything about it.
But he requested…
a favor of course.
Perfect.
I'll take care of this.
Hey, you came back quickly from the tests.
Everything's okay.
They're just saying you need to rest up,
now that you've completed the biopsy.
Rest up?
Ever seen a spa with metal bars? Hmm?
I have to be here, but you don't.
-Tell me. Why are you here?
-Well, it's my job.
It's all because of Moranzón.
All right. But still, you look young.
Why not work somewhere else? Hmm?
Forgive me.
Lately, I've been so wrapped up
in my own thoughts.
My husband was also
transferred out of prison.
He died in a hospital.
-Just like that girl.
-What girl?
The pregnant one.
They took her to give birth.
Now she's gone.
-Oh, Noelia.
-That's the one, Noelia.
They probably told her
it was just a formality.
It was the same with my husband.
Do you know what happened to her?
"Complications during the birth,"
they said.
Borges.
They said you need to rest now,
so quit talking to her.
Everything'll be all right.
All right, take your meds.
And stay in bed.
You look quite pale. Okay?
But did you watch the videos?
Yes?
Marina, I need to ask you…
Were you ever aware that…
that… that you were being filmed
every single time that you had sex?
Did you know?
Marina, the voice messages prove that
there was a consensual relationship
going on between you three.
Talk to us, Marina.
How else do you expect us to defend you?
We just need you to tell the truth.
I am telling you the truth. I swear.
It was all really weird
from the beginning.
I remember when I first came
to Buenos Aires, I didn't know anyone.
And then soon after that
was when I met both of them.
They let me move in. They gave me a home.
In the beginning,
the relationship with my boyfriend was
healthy and normal.
There was no jealousy at all.
Later on is when it all went to shit.
And no,
I didn't know
I was being recorded the whole time.
We have to reconstruct what happened
that night. It's really important.
I know it's painful. Really, I do.
But I need you to be strong now.
If they were filming you
every time you slept together,
it's entirely possible
that Darío may have been there as well.
Of course, sure. That's true.
He probably was hiding out there too.
For sure.
Okay.
That's all for now.
I'll look into this further
at the courthouse, all right?
All right. I'll keep you both informed.
Whoa!
I scare you?
No, I think it's hilarious.
This is for you.
I've always had a soft spot for you.
That's why I'm here.
And Moranzón doesn't know
that I'm here, so don't worry, all right?
Now, we've discovered that several babies
were bought and adopted
all from institutions
that were run by Moranzón.
That is,
this looks like child trafficking.
Son of a bitch, I knew it all along.
We have to report her.
Sure, we could do that.
Those judges are already bought off,
so we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot
if we did that.
That heifer is putting kids up for
adoption like they're designer handbags,
and there's no way
to put an end to it, Antín?
Well, this is Argentina.
Here, the strong do what they will,
and the weak suffer what they must.
Please, I don't want some bullshit quote.
No, no more quotes.
I got you the information
on Moranzón that you asked for.
Now you do your part because
I don't want to fucking die in here.
I need more proof. Something…
more convincing, more clear-cut.
-The governor and his wife…
-Mm-hmm.
…have their eyes
set on a little girl in here.
-The daughter of an inmate?
-Mm-hmm.
For Faccia?
They want to adopt her.
And Moranzón is pulling the strings.
She's trying to put pressure on the mother
to convince her to hand over her daughter.
Oh, now that's interesting.
How about that?
Mm-hmm.
You're on the right track.
And next weekend,
you'll be with your grandson on vacation.
-What do you need?
-More evidence.
Indisputable and undeniable evidence.
Excuse me. We have to go, Antín.
-Selva.
-Selva.
Nice to see you, Capece.
Hey, do you want this?
-What kind?
-Dulce de leche.
No, no. Going to the dentist
costs me a fortune.
-China, make some tea for Lefty.
-No need for that.
Aw. I think there is a need though.
Sit down.
Make yourself at home.
Sit for a while.
You know the hardest part
about being in here?
It's… the loneliness.
Must be for you too.
You know, when I first ran away,
I was around, I think, 17 or 18 years old.
Then I went chasing
after my first boyfriend.
He was a bastard. An imbecile.
My God! But he was just the first.
The first man of many.
And I was never really alone after that.
Never.
I'd jump from one relationship to another…
just… like… that.
But that all changed with Crow.
I actually stayed with him, you know?
I stayed with him for ten whole years.
For ten years, I was with one guy.
Stood right by his side.
How crazy is that? For that long?
And it's amazing
that it took getting arrested
and put into this fucking hell-hole
for me to realize
we all enter this life alone,
and then we all die alone too.
Well, you could try making friends
instead of making enemies.
Ah, no. No!
"Friends," she says. No!
I was talking about
a different kind of loneliness.
I don't give a fucking shit
about friendship in here.
Here's your cut. It wasn't a good week.
That's all there is.
But this is so little.
I know your business is doing well,
so just make the girls
work even more, okay?
I have to pay the girls for their work.
That's all the money.
Well, you'll just explain that this is how
things will work from now on.
I don't know. I would hate
for my people to have to get involved.
For Lalo's sake, you know?
I know you don't want that.
I just wouldn't want things
to get out of hand and then have you…
end up all on your own.
Like me.
Don't worry about it.
I surrender.
It's all yours.
Convince her.
Make friends with her.
I don't know what the hell she's thinking.
This is the best thing for her.
I've never really gotten along with her,
but I'm going to try.
She's very scared.
A lot's been going on in here lately.
Right now, it's important
that we be patient with her.
-I can speak with her if you like.
-No.
Not you! Of all people!
How would you talking to her help us?
Rosetta!
Look, I know you're upset
about what happened with Noelia.
I completely understand
the pain that you feel.
We did everything in our power
to save her.
My priority is always
keeping these children safe.
Otherwise, why would I be fighting so hard
for your grandson to stay with you
and not go with your daughter?
I know that, and thank you.
I'll see what I can do.
Go on.
Come on.
Careful.
-Hi there.
-Pardon us, Cecilia.
What's wrong?
This is who's gonna be in charge
of cleaning the office today.
She was reassigned by the cleaning sector.
I'm at your disposal
for whatever your need.
Well, just clean everything as usual.
-Should I start wherever?
-Go on.
All right.
-I'll start here.
-Fine.
Don't break anything!
-Hey, don't do that!
-Oh, okay…
What're you doing here?
The mother had a conjugal visit.
She's in her block now.
She's feeling sensitive.
She wanted me
to look after the baby for a while.
-Something wrong?
-Nothing.
-Is he asleep?
-Nearly.
Hmm.
Help me. Take him for a little while
'cause I need a cigarette.
-Oh, okay.
-There you go.
There, there.
Suits you well, eh?
Give it a rest.
No, I won't be making you
a tía for a long time.
Aw, I'mma cry.
I'm just thinking about Lalo.
How he must be running around non-stop
trying to stay undercover.
Lalo can run out there.
Now we, on the other hand,
have to be strong
and look after ourselves.
Yes, I know.
-There she is.
-Oh, Marina. I was looking for you.
You have a conjugal visit this afternoon.
Today?
-Today.
-With who?
The Prince of Wales.
Does it matter though?
Now change your panties.
We've got you new ones.
They're super cute, super sexy thongs.
Go change. You'll be fine.
Fine, I'll do it.
But I want double what I got last time.
Wow… Well, look at you!
Putting a price on your pussy, eh?
You paying off a luxury condo?
-I really need it, Lefty.
-Well…
You're hot, so the bastard will pay it,
but don't get used to it.
Now look who's demanding
more money for sex, huh?
Sh! This one's sleeping
so no trouble. All right?
Aw. The brothel didn't work out,
so now it's a daycare?
Okay. Sh!
The money's been bad lately.
You're not playing dumb
with the Galician, are you?
You know this business.
You know much comes in.
-So cool it.
-Sure.
You tossed me out on my ass. I know that.
But I don't work for you anymore.
Now you work for me, so I'm here
to pick up the cash. That's all.
You're not getting any,
'cause you're just a fucking errand boy
who's trying to stir shit up.
If you say so,
but you don't give the orders around here.
As for you, Miss Princess,
there's no raise for you.
Why don't you mind
your own business for once?
Didn't wanna show your ass,
and now you're the biggest whore of all!
I'm gonna fuck your mouth up till you
have to suck dick through your nose!
Hey, drop that! Drop that!
Get out before I ruin
the other side of your face!
Let go of me, or the Galician
will kick your fucking teeth in!
-We gave you everything!
-I'm gonna fuck you up!
We gave you everything we had! Dumbass!
What's all this now?
Anyone causing trouble
goes in the hole. Is that clear?
Hey! Keep it down!
Quiet!
All right, just talk to each other.
Get the fuck outta here!
Stupid bitches.
Quiet!
All right, all right. One at a time.
One at a time!
-Come on, Brisa. Eat.
-No.
You have to eat your food.
You haven't eaten anything all day.
-No, I don't want it.
-Why?
Eat something!
I don't understand! What is your problem?
No!
Why not accept the offer
they made you earlier? Huh?
-I don't want to.
-How did you know?
-How?
-I don't want it.
-Come on. Just one.
-We just know everything here, honey.
I thought I had already explained that.
Come on. Do you really want
to raise her like this? Locked in here?
-Do you think that's what's best for her?
-Don't you dare even go there!
I didn't ask for your advice,
so get out of my face!
Go talk to someone else!
How's she going to be okay
without her mother?
You're raising your grandson in prison!
Yes, but I wasn't made an offer like that.
Consider what's in your best interest.
I'm just trying to offer friendly advice.
Don't be so two-faced!
You're not my friend!
-Here! Eat something! You have to eat!
-No. No!
Spoiled child! Fine, don't eat anything.
Come with me, Brisa.
-Tell me what you like. Candy?
-Why are you talking to her?
What are you talking to her for?
Come on now. Let's go.
Those bags under your eyes
make you look 15 years older.
-Hyaluronic acid can…
-Olga, I don't care.
How will you know if you won't try it?
-I'm not interested.
-Yeah, but why not try it just once?
-Where were you?
-Paperwork.
Hmm.
The Galician is going way overboard.
I have ideas.
If it works out, we've got her.
Would you please get off my case?
No, someone has to put a stop to this.
She's messing with me and my business.
So I want her gone.
Have patience. Hmm?
It's not the right time.
Lefty, can I talk to you?
What is it?
How you doing, honey? How you feeling?
Like a cow ready for slaughter.
I have to wait
until I get the results in a few weeks.
It's gonna be fine.
Don't even worry about it.
It's gonna be okay.
You're trying to be nice,
but your face is saying something else.
-I don't know what to do.
-What?
It's my girl.
She's just acting… so different.
It's really strange.
She was so sweet,
so well-behaved, and now…
I don't know,
now she's just spoiled and rude.
Nothing's good enough now.
She just asked about
the puppy they gave her,
and why she's not with Eugenia
'cause when she's with her, they go out…
I don't know what's best for her.
The best thing for her is to be with you.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
But here?
In this place?
With no education and no future?
Gladys, that dog probably eats
a lot better than we do in here.
I can feel her pulling away.
No… Wait, wait, wait, wait.
That's not gonna happen.
No, because we're stronger than that.
It won't happen. Hmm?
Listen, there are things in the works.
Big things, okay?
If all goes as it should…
we can put an end to this.
What're you saying? I don't understand.
It's Moranzón.
Something's going on with the kids,
with the babies.
Like what they're doing to you…
So I think they're conditioning all the
pregnant girls to hand over their babies.
They're breeding them. Hmm?
First, it was Patricia they went after.
Then Noelia.
Well I saw Noelia and Elba
talking about the baby, Patricia's.
No, we need more
than just suspicions to prove it.
We need concrete evidence, like a document
or a signature, something like that.
With that, we can really nail Moranzón.
It'd be in her office.
Doesn't she store
all our files in those cabinets?
Mm!
You don't care, do you?
Finally! We're gonna
bring that bitch down!
You had me scared there.
Break it up,
or I'll throw a bucket of water on you.
-Are you eating properly?
-Uh-huh.
Are you all right?
I thought they'd be more upset
in the Family block.
A disaster. That poor girl.
-Mm.
-What a tragedy!
But you've seen firsthand
the state these women are in.
Their bodies, they just don't…
If I'm being honest,
they're all in bad shape.
What about Soriano?
You think he's really giving them
the best care?
Must be a lot taking care of everyone.
I'm sorry? What's that?
Shouldn't we be taking
these women to a real hospital?
They'll have everything they need,
more resources, more money.
-'Cause we've got nothing.
-What do you mean, "We have nothing"?
You've seen the resources I provide them.
That's not fair of you to say!
The problem is
I let my dreams run away from me,
and I have to learn to face reality.
And that's bureaucracy
and budget meetings!
Yeah, you're right.
That was disrespectful.
No, no, it's fine.
Did you go see your mother?
I gave her a call.
You should see her in person.
Oh, you took long enough.
Take your clothes off now.
Hey, relax.
We have plenty time. No need to rush.
Take it all off.
Take it easy. Just leave it to me.
You'll enjoy it. I promise.
I don't care! You shut your fucking mouth!
-Stop, stop, stop! No!
-Quiet!
No, please!
Get off me, motherfucker! No!
No, no, no! Please! Please, no!
-Let's do it!
-Stop!
-Stop struggling!
-Wait, wait, wait!
Just relax. Relax, it's fine.
Please, don't!
-Come here, motherfucker!
-I paid!
-Come here!
-What're you doing? I paid!
Inside. Hey, Johana. Here she is.
Okay. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The Slag Sisters can wait outside.
I don't want anyone here
causing trouble. Go on.
Come inside.
Wait. I feel fine. I don't need anything.
I don't even know why I'm here.
Well, this isn't up for discussion.
Soriano gives the orders.
What am I supposed to do?
He's the one looking after you.
Sit down. We're going to administer
a subcutaneous IV.
It's gonna take a while,
so just relax for bit.
What's she doing here?
Look, she was assigned
to help me in the nurse's station.
Are you ready for the fluids?
Continue, please.
-Go ahead.
-No. No, no.
If you're gonna inject me like that,
then open the needle in front of me.
-All right.
-Relax.
You'll see.
I'll open the need in front of you.
Look. Here it is.
It's closed. It's closed. Look.
And there,
I love the little sound it makes.
There we go.
Ta-da. Thanks, hun.
Here…
And so, my father, who rapes my sister,
gets her pregnant
with a beautiful little girl.
I mean, you have no idea how beautiful.
You have no idea.
And then it's another girl over here,
over there, over here, over there.
The bastard eventually comes and rapes me.
-Ah…
-So I have a son.
What does my grandmother do?
My grandmother gives him
to a girl in the town where we live.
She just gives him to this girl
and takes him away from me.
-Oh…
-And so you know I did?
I took a knife, went to her yard.
She had rabbits, so I killed all of them.
One by one by one by one,
by one by one by one.
-I killed over a hundred rabbits.
-That's a lot.
Anyways, why am I telling you all this?
It's important.
What if you come to me and say…
Come on, Piquito.
-What?
-Time to clean up.
I'm telling the most important thing.
Why I got arrested
and thrown in here with you.
I'll tell the rest of the story.
Go clean the cart.
But I was… Fine, okay.
What's up?
It's trouble over there. I need some help.
Hey, what the fuck is your issue?
-Fucking whore.
-Don't sweat it.
Yeah, but all she does is cause shit,
that motherfucker.
Let's do one more video.
-All right?
-No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Please, Lechu, no.
I can't do any more videos.
Please, I'm exhausted.
Look, my legs are tired, and I don't--
-Cleo! They found him!
-I don't want to do it.
-They found him! Your son! They found him!
-Huh?
-What?
-I talked to Luna.
It was just like you said.
They found him
as he was trying to cross to Paraguay.
-Yeah?
-He was with the grandmother.
-They're on their way back!
-Shut it down! Now!
-The brothel's over!
-What's going on?
Shut everything down!
The business is closed as of right now.
I said, "Shut it down!"
-Get out of here! Now!
-Let's go!
Now, now, now! Go on, go!
Go! Everyone leave! Now!
Things with Lefty
have reached a breaking point.
I can't stop her anymore.
She started trouble with the Galician.
Now, she's closed the whole brothel down.
I thought we agreed to wait a bit longer.
She's trying to show she won't
leave the business without a fight.
We need to decide.
You're not backing out
of this now, are you?
How are you?
Fine. I don't know.
Well, some rest will be good for you.
How am I gonna rest after what happened?
Who was that man?
No idea.
Lefty set it up.
What? I needed the cash.
A defense lawyer costs money.
I don't want to be locked up forever.
Alan, come to the outdoor patio.
-I need you here.
-You can't play these games.
Coming.
Well, I'll see you later.
'Sup, Lefty?
Did you give the girls a day off?
What are you doing?
You think you can bully us?
Go back to your block!
No one wants you here!
Get back to your cell!
Wow, great idea bitch!
But to do that you'll have
to drag me there yourself, cunt.
Go on! Beat her ass!
Oh, how bold of you.
But I'm afraid you're going to end up
with a knife at your throat, sweetie.
That's right!
Now, drop the knife, you fucking traitor!
That's what happens
when you try to fuck us!
This is for María, you son of a bitch!
Jesus fucking Christ!
The fuck did you do, motherfucker?
Motherfucker!
That bitch had it coming!
That bitch deserved it! She deserved it!
Elba?
-What?
-Come here.
Feel her forehead. She's burning up.
I don't know what's wrong with her.
She's… she's all sweaty.
-All right.
-Yeah, feel her.
Oh yeah. I feel it.
She's burning up. All right, come on.
-Do you have a thermometer?
-She needs Soriano.
-Okay.
-I'll check if he can see her now.
Oh, my love.
Come on.
Let's get you some water. I'll be back.
Now, when we were little kids
still living in the boonies,
my grandmother'd send us off to school.
-Uh-huh.
-However, I wouldn't go to school.
Instead, I would run away on my own.
I'd stay with the sheep
grazing outside in the fields.
I'd even sleep in the fields.
You want the shampoo?
Five hundred pesos. Yeah.
You understand? I would run away.
And then I'd wander around in the fields,
and I'd sleep with the sheep all day long.
-You ever seen one in real life?
-Yeah, they're smelly.
-What do you mean, smelly?
-They smell bad.
Oh, no, come on.
No, they're just so soft and cozy.
You lie your head down on one,
and I tell you it feels like heaven.
Come here.
Hey, Soledad.
-Hey. Hi there.
-What's up?
You still busy?
Yeah, I gotta go all the way to the end.
Stop by central block after.
I need to speak with you.
Something good or something bad?
Neutral.
Careful. Don't ask too many questions.
Otherwise, your curiosity
will end up killing the cat.
-All right, come on.
-Are you threatening me?
-Not at all, I'm just warning you.
-Oh, okay.
Hey, I just cleaned there. Fine.
No, it's just people want
to know everything.
You have to tell them everything.
Finish telling me about the sheep.
What does she have?
Well, her throat is swollen.
She has a high fever.
She needs to be taken
to see a pediatrician.
Yeah? And where's that?
Seriously, you're gonna take her
in this condition? All alone like this?
-Give her something. Aren't you a doctor?
-No, I'm an adult doctor.
She's a child. This facility
doesn't have the right supplies
or even the equipment you'd need
to run more tests on a child.
So, what now, huh?
Just stay here for a minute.
-Oh, Andrés.
-Hi. Thank you.
-Governor.
-Cecilia.
-Hello.
-Wait, what is he doing here?
Relax, just relax.
Trust me, please.
My wife can bring her to the pediatrician
and take care of her
until she gets better.
Trust me. Is it all right if I…
Please, may I just feel?
Oh, just look at that face. Let's see.
Hi, sweetheart. Hey, hey. She…
-She's running a high fever, please.
-Yes.
Let me take her until she gets better.
Trust me. It's for her health.
It's for the best.
Come here, baby. Come here. Look at me.
You… you're gonna go with Andrés
to the doctor, okay?
But you'll come back here after.
I'll be waiting.
My love. But you'll bring her back
afterwards, right?
Yes, of course. One, two, three.
Perfect. I'll take care of her
until she gets better, okay?
-I'll wait right here, my love.
-Of course.
Come here, my love.
Let me bless you. Go, my love.
-She'll be just fine
-Thank you, Andrés.
Here we go.
Bye. Bye, my love.
-Relax. Everything will be all right.
-Bye.
Now then…
Please. Sign here, dear.
What is this?
Soriano!
No…
Cachete's wound isn't that serious.
They just slashed her cheek is all.
Cachete got her cheek cut.
What the hell are you saying, China?
What happened to you?
What do you mean?
Well,
it looks like a blister.
Wait, what looks like a blister?
On… on your face. You…
you have something on your face.
The fuck is that?
Did you eat something weird?
That motherfucker.
Where's the patio?
The patio? There. There.
-On the map here.
-Where is it?
How is the map oriented?
-You tell her.
-No, you tell her.
-Over here maybe?
-Yeah, maybe.
-Yeah…
-Good, good.
-Well…
-There.
-Make a mark.
-Add the bleachers.
-So it's oriented properly.
-Bleachers.
Where's Moranzón's office?
We have to find her office.
Uh…
-Where?
-Let's say that's her desk.
-Birds-eye view.
-Here.
That's where you'll be.
-I'll clean there.
-Got that? Whatever.
-Look.
-With what?
"Maintenance supe…"
Let's get through this.
Hurry up. Let's go.
I'm gonna start there, go along here,
then to here, and come out here.
Why does she move and not me?
You're keeping watch for us.
You're the person that's gonna let us know
if Moranzón is out there or not.
Draw a little symbol.
-By the door?
-No, no, there. Right there.
-Don't close the door.
-I can't go in if you're standing there.
What are you looking for?
-Nothing, obviously…
-Paperwork.
We went through this. Please don't forget.
-Let's go. Come on.
-Okay. Come on.
-I'm excited now.
-We're really doing this.
Let's go. Come on.
Fist bump. Come on. Let's do it.
-How are you?
-Good.
Do you have what I asked for?
Yes.
Here. Let's see.
Perfect.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Check. Good. Good.
These are the recordings
off the security cameras?
Yes. Everything you requested is there.
There are files missing.
From the date of the incident.
I need those files as well.
If they're not in there,
it's because, well, I don't know.
They weren't requested,
or they weren't found,
or they're not available.
Or they were handed over. I dunno.
Can you check for me?
-They were handed over to the parties.
-Like who?
To… the attorney Zárate.
Ah, well, that's inconvenient.
Zárate left this case a while ago.
I… I'm the defense lawyer.
It's fine. I'll take this.
Do I have to sign for it?
-No.
-No?
Good. Thanks.
How are you?
You've been difficult
to get hold of recently.
Just crickets since you started
at the reintegration center.
Thanks for coming.
Hey, how can I say no to you?
-How are you?
-Good, good.
-I can tell. You look good.
-You look pretty good too.
-Can I take a look at this?
-Yeah, sure.
-I'm being nosy.
-Sure.
It's a lot.
I heard they're really impressed
with your work.
Oh good. I'm happy to help.
Getting a fresh start
after release is no small feat.
Mm-hmm.
-Oh.
-So what do you want with this guy?
Um, I'm defending this inmate
from La Quebrada,
and before I came in,
this guy was her lawyer.
And I need his information on this case,
but he won't answer my messages.
I don't know
if there's a problem with the evidence,
if he's avoiding me,
or if he's just an asshole. I don't know.
Has something happened?
No, no.
It just feels off.
Hmm?
Here?
-Yes.
-Let's go.
No, you know, wait for me out here.
I'll let you know if I need you.
I don't want him to feel pressured.
-Okay?
-Sure, fine. I'll wait here.
Go ahead. Enter.
-What a surprise.
-How are you?
Lunati, the new attorney.
-How can I help you?
-I don't really need your help.
See, I'm defending Marina Delorsi,
an inmate at La Quebrada
that you were defending and dropped.
Oh, yes, of course. How could I
forget about her? Very nice girl.
What happened with her boyfriend
was such a tragedy.
Yes, I'm looking for some evidence
that's missing from her case.
Mm-hmm, and?
What can I say?
I mean, I've had lots of cases.
Recordings from the security cameras
are missing.
It's registered
the defense lawyer received them,
meaning that the last person
to see them was you.
Mm-hmm.
Look, I have
a very simple question to ask you.
Have you ever represented someone
as a public defender?
Do you have any idea
the bureaucracy involved?
It's an avalanche of cases.
You can hardly tell them apart.
No, I don't remember any of it.
-Don't take me for a fool, all right?
-No, no. I wouldn't dream of it.
I'd rather not have to talk
to the judge about it.
And I wouldn't be standing here
asking for records
if it weren't for the fact
that this material
may contain valuable evidence.
Now, I would rather anything important
about this case stay between us.
Mm-hmm. Of course.
That way, I don't have to call you
and have you testify
as a witness on this case.
Is that all?
You're a fool.
-Please don't make this difficult.
-Mm-hmm. No.
-A person's freedom is on the line here.
-Mm-hmm.
Well, my job is too.
Do you have any idea
who you're messing with?
-No. Who?
-Oh, you don't know, huh?
-Tell me.
-No, you really don't want to know.
-Tell me who.
-Trust me, it's better like this.
Would you rather have to answer
these questions in court, fatso?
-You bitch, listen!
-Don't touch me!
-Wait!
-Hey! What are you doing?
Back off! What the hell's wrong with you?
Fuck you!
-What're you doing?
-Back off you, bitch!
What did you take, son of a bitch?
You all right?
Everything all right?
I think he grabbed
a USB with the evidence.
-Are you okay?
-Yes, yes, I'm fine.
She's sedated.
Well, you have to wake her.
We need her signature.
There's no other way.
There is.
We make her disappear.
Look, hey. Look, watch,
with one foot raised.
-Look!
-You look like those jugglers.
They're coming. Put it down.
The trash.
What'd you say?
The trash here.
-I swept it.
-Yeah, okay. Keep at it.
Come.
Hey, now? Now?
Wait.
-Now.
-Go right now?
-Come on.
-Yes! Hurry up, would you? Let's go.
Let's see.
Look. Look at this.
I might have found something.
-Gladys!
-What?
-Hallway's clear!
-Don't say if no one's coming.
Just tell me if someone comes. Go!
Let's hurry!
Maybe there's something here?
-Here. Right here.
-Look at this folder.
-Look.
-Oh, here. Yeah.
I can't believe it. Let's see.
Hand me the other one.
Look. The girl, that's the girl.
Now, let's see, Brisa…
-No, that's the girl--
-What are you doing?
I got bored out there!
-I told you to go outside. Now go!
-All right, fine.
What are you doing in here?
-No, we were just… Uh…
-No.
-We're not doing anything bad.
-Quiet!
You're gonna wanna save that explanation.
Daniel. Come in, Daniel.
-Fucking hell.
-Take it. Just please have a look.
La Quebrada is trafficking babies.
There's an investigation
underway outside of the prison.
First, it was Patricia. Remember?
The pregnant woman who died? Then Noelia.
Hmm? You ever seen their families
come to claim the babies? Hmm?
Alan!
Alan!
Alan! Is there a problem?
Move it!
-Let's go.
-Down.
Well, hi. Nice to see you again, Doctor.
Hmm? Look.
Do you see how pretty you made me?
Do you see?
So in return, I'm gonna give you
some free plastic surgery.
You have beautiful hair, you know that?
What a beauty.
Now, which of these eyes
do you want to sacrifice? Huh?
-Which?
-It wasn't my idea. I swear.
-Oh no?
-No.
Are you trying to tell me
they made you do it?
So who made you? Who?
Say it. Say it.
Say it.
Say it! Say it! Say it!
That's it! Cry now! Cry for me!
I wanna hear you cry! Oh yeah!
That's it.
