NATIONAL POLICE
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Interrogation of Mr. Esteban Arco
regarding the murder
of Miss Tatiana Mendieta.
Today is January 30, 9:00 a.m.
Justice for Tatiana!
People demand it!
Justice for Tatiana! The people demand it!
When was the last time
you saw Miss Mendieta?
Two nights ago.
-She came to my house.
-What for?
Tatiana and I had a relationship.
A casual relationship.
But she became obsessed with me.
She showed up drunk and made a scene.
I called the police.
The security guards came.
They witnessed the situation.
My wife did too.
Miss Mendieta left by herself.
I stayed home with my wife.
I have the security camera footage
if you need to check it.
Yes, I'd like to see it.
Tatiana committed suicide.
Well, thanks for your opinion,
but we'll determine that
when the final forensic report arrives--
Well, let's wait for it.
You'll see that I'm not involved at all.
But if you're here to interrogate me,
pressure me, jump to conclusions,
or sell a story to a magazine,
my lawyers should be here.
No doubt you'll need lawyers.
I'd like to show you something.
It's a work of art done by Miss Mendieta.
-Before you killed her.
-I didn't do it!
Listen, I suggest you cooperate with us.
That way, you might avoid
spending your life in prison.
-Think of your daughter--
-We are done.
You killed your lover
like you tried to kill your wife.
-What?
-You heard me, motherfucker.
What a coincidence.
First, someone tries to kill your wife,
and now your lover turns up dead.
-You're crazy.
-You almost killed your wife.
I can ruin your shitty career.
This can turn into
an abuse of authority lawsuit for you.
Look at you.
Someone else's life is over.
I'm not scared of a lousy detective.
This lousy detective
will bring you down, motherfucker.

OSCILLATES BETWEEN SENSE AND NONSENSE,
NOT BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG"
CARL JUNG
Justice for Tatiana! The people demand it!
Danger!
Wait.
What happened?
Your husband is a threat.
He shouldn't be sleeping in your house.
It's good for me
to have him close at the moment.
-It is, for many reasons.
-Sure.
Tatiana is missing! All are missing!
-See you at your place?
-Yes.
Tatiana is missing! All are missing!
The people demand it!
The people demand it!
A new scandal
is smearing the Hidalgo family.
NEW SCANDAL AT MEDUSA
The alleged suicide of Tatiana Mendieta,
Purchasing Manager of Medusa.
And on they go.
The mob is screaming away down there.
They almost hit us, man.
And turns out the death of that secretary
is our fault.
Mendieta wasn't a secretary.
Show some respect.
-What?
-Even if she was, so what?
The point is that people think
Tatiana's death is suspicious.
That's it!
The point here is that Medusa's image
has never been worse.
Bárbara.
Is it true that Esteban
had an affair with her?
How long has he been unfaithful to you?
As his buddy, you should know.
How long has that jerk
been cheating on you?
-He says it ended a long time ago.
-You believe him.
If it wasn't a suicide,
Esteban is the prime suspect.
-That man is a murderer.
-That's for the police to decide.
We have to get ahead of any outcome.
-Let's remove Esteban from Medusa.
-And from the family.
That's up to Bárbara.
The leader should decide that.
I thought that was my brother.
I am.
I am, but removing Esteban now
is like sentencing him
before the police can investigate.
And like it or not,
Esteban is one of us.
Removing him would convey the message
that Medusa has zero tolerance
for this behavior.
Esteban had a relationship within
the company, and no one said a thing.
-Now we'll talk about it.
-We did not know.
-What's the solution?
-Let's make him CEO!
I'm not sure, but removing him
will damage our reputation further.
Anything else?
I have a lot to say,
but I'm not the head of the company.
And neither are you.
Esteban stays. Period.
Danger, don't be like that.
We had an agreement.
I just want you to be okay.
Esteban!
I don't care what kind of relationship
you have with my daughter.
-Damián, you know--
-Shut your mouth!
You'll open it only for the media.
Use your stupid face to make them think
you had nothing to do with her death.
Okay.
-What do you want me to say?
-You'll restore this family's reputation.
I want to address
the rumors surrounding the death,
the tragic and painful death,
of Miss Tatiana Mendieta.
I don't know why
Miss Mendieta took her life,
but I assure you that neither Medusa
nor her job as Purchasing Manager
had anything to do with it.
The authorities are fully informed
about the situation,
and we at the Medusa conglomerate
will cooperate
so that this painful situation
is resolved as soon as possible.
Our heartfelt condolences
go out to the Mendieta family.
How many times
are you going to watch that video?
Did you find any evidence?
We know they were in a relationship,
but that's no reason to arrest him.
If we can't prove that Esteban
was definitely involved, and soon,
my dad will end up
keeping him out of jail.
Of course, one of his own can't go down,
or they'll drag
the whole family down with them.
He just cares about his reputation.
The family comes second.
What if we find incriminating evidence?
If he is guilty, he has to pay.
I'm just worried about Maya.
Me neither.
What are you staring at?
Oh, Maya.
Shame on you!
Your dad cheated on your mom, didn't he?
Your dad's a jerk,
getting caught like that.
Leave me alone!
-A cheater, a jerk, and a murderer.
-That is not true!
My parents say he bribed the police.
And the Hidalgos,
the Hidalgos are like the mob.
Mobster!
-You're a mobster, Maya!
-Shut up!
Poor thing!
Let go of me!
Hey, why didn't you choose
a more realistic prosthetic?
Some of them are identical to skin.
No.
My finger no longer exists.
I need to adjust to this reality.
I don't have to hide it.
I'm Medusa
All right, let's keep going
with the Hidalgo family drama.
How about the shocking fact that the woman
was the lover
of Bárbara Hidalgo's husband?
I'm Medusa
Fuck it. I burnt the food again.
Shit.
How much I'd give to have her
My life, I would give my whole life…
Damn it!
I'd give my whole life! Motherfucker!
I know you are committed to someone
I know you have someone who loves you
But it's well worth
The risk of having your love…
"The risk…" No shit.
No, no.
Fuck!
Do you know if your dad
is going to be much longer?
I guess he'll be home late.
I need to know if I should wait for him.
May I use the bathroom?
-It's over there.
-Thank you.
Can I help you?
I was looking for the bathroom.
I can't find it.
This place is huge, like a castle.
-It's over there.
-Thank you so much.
YOUR DAD'S A KILLER
FAMILY OF CRIMINALS
YOUR FAMILY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL
FAMILY OF CRIMINALS
Do you know the trick
for dealing with people who bully you?
The one who hits first, hits twice.
And why do you know that?
I got bullied a lot in school too.
I won't say what they called me,
but guess what I did?
I stood up and said everything
they were gonna throw at me first.
So they had nothing to say.
You should do that.
What if that doesn't work?
Just throw the first punch and--
Or you can tell your mom.
She'll help you out.
Tell me what, Maya?
Why are you here, detective?
Some people are insulting me
because of Dad.
Ignore those assholes.
Don't listen to them.
Or you can follow my advice.
What advice?
Fight. The one who hits first, hits twice.
Danger, please!
It's certainly effective.
I have to go.
I came to see your husband.
I have to…
Thanks. Goodbye.
-Good afternoon. Thanks.
-Bye, detective.
Sweetie.
Look.
This is the one.
What do you think?
Come on, I've got enough on my plate
with this boot-licking detective
who suggests-- implies
that I was involved in Tatiana's death.
And you interrogate me as well? Please.
I'm not interrogating you.
I've got every right to know.
It was suicide, honey.
-And are you relieved?
-What?
No! What's wrong with you?
But you can see I was not involved.
But you believe this brown-nosing bastard.
Like it or not, you'll have to answer
for that woman's death.
No. That was a long time ago, my love.
Should I believe you?
I expect that from you.
Honey, that girl was nuts.
She got obsessed with me.
Ask this guy--
But she is dead, Esteban.
Dead.
-Don't you feel anything?
-Of course I do.
Poor girl.
And her family, and…
I had nothing to do with it. That's it.
Listen to me, baby.
It's one thing that I slept with her
a few times, just like you and I agreed.
It's a very different thing that
we'd been in a relationship for years,
that I was in love, she was heartbroken,
she killed herself…
No, no, no, baby.
No, no, no.
No.
We have nothing to do with this.
Nothing.
Okay?
Okay?
Does praying erase the guilt
of what you did to Mom and me?
Come here.
Come here, darling. Come.
-Let go!
-Please listen to me.
Did you kill that woman?
-No, darling!
-I don't believe you!
I understand you're angry.
It's normal, my dear.
But it's all gossip, love.
They envy us because we have money.
Your mom believes me,
or I wouldn't be here.
I don't know.
But I do know that this family is over.
No, it is not over, Maya.
It is not over.
Your mom and I won't let that happen.
My mom is into the detective!
They were too familiar
when he came looking for you.
I have to go.
I came to see your husband.
I have to…
-Good afternoon. Thanks.
-Bye, detective.
It's so funny you want to make a move,
but Mom is playing another game.
Hey, goddess.
We seem to have news
about what happened to Tatiana.
-I'll call you when I see the report.
-Gabriel wants to see us.
See you at your place.
Gabriel?
Hadn't we agreed
that he was no longer with us on this?
But he's insisting.
So, it must be important.
-But I don't think--
-Sandrita, at five o'clock, for a massage.
I love you.
Yes. I'll see you there.
This won't be solved
just because you say that to me.
I know, but…
I won't let my mistakes
ruin my marriage either.
Little by little, Esteban.
Little by little.
See you later at Medusa.
See you.
Are you sure about this?
Yes. The etiology
shows that it wasn't suicide.
Mendieta died from a blow to the head.
The body was clearly moved into the tub.
And the cuts on both wrists are identical.
That means someone else cut her veins.
Yes, that's right.
Shit, poor girl. God!
I wanted to see you. What's up?
-What's up?
-All good. Give us a moment.
-Of course.
-Thanks.
Look what I have for you.
The Digital Department sent me this.
We found someone
on the security camera footage
of Tatiana Mendieta's building.
That's Esteban Arco, pal.
No, wait a second.
Check out this guy.
See?
There's no record of the guy coming in.
No one had been announced.
But the footage shows him
leaving the decedent's apartment.
Brother, meet Tatiana Mendieta's killer.
And who is this asshole?
Excuse me.
My poor girl! My girl!
Take it easy, stay strong.
-My heartfelt condolences.
-Thank you.
This hurts so much.
Are you teasing me?
Do you think I'd be here if I was?
Swear to me.
I swear on my life.
I'll go wherever you want,
wherever you say.
Do you think after finding you,
I'll let you go?
And Bárbara?
She doesn't care what I do.
-Your daughter?
-I'll bring her.
Will Bárbara and her family
let you take her out of the country?
There are ways to do it. There are ways.
Come over here.
We'll do it little by little.
You're talking too much.
I'm serious.
Shut up, please.
I'm serious.
Come over here.
Will you talk to her?
Many times, what we imagine is just that,
imagination that prevents us from seeing.
I am not imagining anything.
I'll talk to Bárbara
because I need her to remember me.
And how do you think she'll take it?
I don't know.
But I can't keep quiet any longer.
Look, I'll go talk to the community.
If things don't go the way you imagine,
don't forget your path, okay?
Eluney?
I'm on my way out.
I need to talk to you.
You didn't tell me, and I have a meeting.
Fill me in.
I want to talk about us.
-Now?
-Yes, now.
Bárbara, I need you to remember
that we were in love.
And I want you to remember
all the plans we had together.
What plans?
Do you really not remember?
I'm starting to think you do.
And that you're only doing this
to accept what suits you.
How can you say that?
It's fine if you don't remember me,
but you won't make a fool of me
or my community, you hear?
The mushroom is sacred, Bárbara.
Our agreement doesn't go away
just because you don't remember.
Keep that in mind.
The final forensic report is here.
It corroborates that Tatiana was murdered.
No.
Honestly, it doesn't surprise me.
Tatiana was a girl
who was full of life
and never talked about suicide.
Look.
This is the person who killed her.
And who is that?
I don't know.
But that jerk
will definitely lead us to the mastermind.
And, by the way,
I'm sure it's the same person
who tried to attack you.
-Do you think it's related?
-No doubt.
What does Tatiana have to do with it?
I don't know.
She might be involved in my attack.
It's Mr. Cristian. He needs me urgently.
I must go, Mrs. Bárbara.
It's all right.
You already know that whatever you need,
I'm available 24/7.
Close the door properly before you leave.
Okay. Thank you!
Fuck, I thought he'd never leave.
I am exhausted.
I know.
I'll give you a nice massage.
Want a massage too?
How about two?
How about three?
ESTEBAN
NEW MESSAGE
That was incredible.
Let's play a good vallenato.
ESTEBAN
BABY, LET'S MEET AT THE FLAT.
I HAVE AN IMPORTANT CONFESSION TO MAKE
ABOUT DETECTIVE CARMELO.
I hired Carmelo to follow you.
I was driven mad by jealousy.
I couldn't accept your open marriage idea.
Forgive me, baby.
I thought I was going to lose you,
and I contacted Carmelo.
But what happened
was that he became obsessed with you.
He's been after you ever since.
I'm not sure,
but I think
he's connected to Tatiana's death.
It's very clear that he wants to frame me
so he can have my life… and you.
