Medusa (2025) s01e08 Episode Script

1
You're about to taste
the best plantain chips on the coast.
What's with that face?
Something wrong?
Who are you, Danger?
What do you mean?
You already knew me.
You are a liar.
My husband hired you to follow me,
and you kept it from me.
-I meant to tell you.
-Save the explanation.
No, goddess. Listen!
Hey! Wait.
Wait a minute.
-Listen.
-How could you lie to me?
I wanted to tell you,
but I didn't know how or when.
When I met you,
something happened between us.
I couldn't explain it.
I didn't want you
to associate me with your husband--
It took Esteban telling me
for you to admit it.
You're the most beautiful thing
that's ever happened to me.
I wouldn't want this
to change what you and I--
Well, this "beautiful thing" is over.
No, listen to me.
Goddess.
Motherfucker!
"WHERE LOVE RULES,
THERE'S NO WILL TO POWER,
AND WHERE POWER DOMINATES,
THERE IS NO LOVE." CARL JUNG.
May her eyes never see yours again.
May you be free from her kisses,
from her words,
from the pain of unfulfilled promises.
May you find the freedom and distance
you need to see clearly,
so you can be happy
and light-spirited again.
Thank you for accepting my pace
and for taking care of me on every level.
This is hard,
and I'm not leaving you alone.
I found a way
to make the Hidalgos listen to us.
Hey! Don't drink like there's no tomorrow.
Don't go overboard, bro.
I'm frustrated. I can't approach her.
She doesn't believe me.
Of course she doesn't.
I'll still protect her
because someone wants her dead now.
Stop it, man.
You're the most stubborn guy I know.
Let's go now, bro.
-Where? Leave me alone.
-I'm taking you home.
-We'll grab some fritos over there at--
-Fritos? Hell no. You go.
Fine, do want you want.
Our Father, who art in Heaven.
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Hi, honey.
-Did you see what I sent you?
-Yes, I got it. It's clear now.
And thanks so much
for telling me earlier. Thanks.
Don't take it out on me.
I know I made many mistakes.
I take responsibility
before an all-seeing God.
But you were very mean.
-Nobody forced you to be with me.
-Of course not.
And when I married you,
I never thought of separating. Never.
Baby, I'm with you because I love you.
Despite all we've done to each other,
that feeling hasn't changed.
We've both made mistakes.
I'll share my biggest mistake.
Tell me.
Accepting that open marriage bullshit.
-That's why I hired this guy, Danger.
-Let's not talk about Danger.
You slept with him.
That's correct.
It's over now.
Mom!
I don't want Maya to suffer
like my brother and I did.
We must be honest for this to work.
I'd like us to give it a try.
-I swear on my life--
-Don't swear.
But let's stop lying to each other.
Please.
I long to see you, darling
I long to feel you close to me
I long to kiss you night and day
And my love exists only for you
Hey, love. Buy me a drink?
Don't waste your time
with this broken heart.
Jason!
A beer for the lady. Put it on my tab.
Thank you, my love!
Stop it, Carmelo!
NATIONAL POLICE
ATLANTIC DIVISION
Stop bringing in Esteban Arco!
His wife confirmed his alibi.
She was with him when Mendieta died.
That doesn't prove
that he didn't send someone to--
Then find a suspect!
Until you have solid evidence,
stop bothering the Hidalgo family.
-Unless you want to fuck up your career.
-May I leave, Colonel?
Goddamn it.
What is this wind?
Wait, wait. Ready?
Yes, ready.
-Okay.
-Go on.
-One, two, three.
-Yes.
Meet "Barbarity."
BARBARITY
-What's wrong?
-It's okay.
Fuck! I'm such an idiot!
-No.
-It jogs your memory.
Forgive me. That wasn't my intention. I…
I know you love the sea. Forgive me.
-Shouldn't you be in school?
-Dad said I could take the day off.
I've been talking to her.
She's full of rage.
We all need time.
No.
This is from months before the accident.
I hope seeing this
helps you recover your memory.
PHOTO LIBRARY
My uncle looked so sweet.
Cristian.
Susi! What a miracle!
You were lost.
Hey, you haven't changed a bit!
What about Pipe? How is he?
I don't know. I don't care. Bad breakup.
Oh, I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
If it's useless,
it shouldn't get in the way.
And you?
Well, same old story here.
There's always trouble, but I'm single.
Why don't we go out and catch up?
Sure! I'll call you, and we'll set it up.
-So you can leave me hanging?
-Me?
You forgot we dated?
No, never.
I would never, ever forget that.
Let's have lunch now. My treat.
Well, I'm very busy today,
but…
-For old times' sake.
-I was about to say that.
If it's for old times,
I'm in.
Stop there!
-Is she…?
-Your mom.
-My mom?
-Esperanza.
Is she my mom?
Could I really forget my mom?
My name is Eluney Tairona Heredia.
I'm the daughter
of Jacinto, spiritual leader,
and Lorenza,
a doctor of anthropology, just like me.
This video is to expose Bárbara Hidalgo
of the Medusa Business Group.
NEW NOTIFICATION
REFUGIO INDÍGENA IS LIVE
Bárbara Hidalgo
was invited to this mangrove
and was considered a special guest.
Of course!
You're still married to Medusa.
She was welcomed with love.
She was guided. She was revived.
She was loved.
All our ancestral knowledge
was shared with her.
What did she do with that trust
and the ancestral knowledge we shared?
She took it all for herself.
She took an endemic mushroom
found only in this magical place
to exploit it commercially…
What?
…for the Medusa Group.
We're on it.
She told us
she was taking the mushroom to protect it.
With us, she'd share its healing powers.
But that's not what she did.
She left her teachers in the dark.
Susi!
Susi!
Enough, honey. Put that away.
It's your birthday,
and I'm not going to let it go unnoticed.
I want to celebrate.
I'm not in the mood.
The Indigenous woman's statements
can really affect us.
Honey.
We're the Hidalgos.
We'll get through it.
What if we do it at the beach house?
Well, maybe.
Honey.
With water. Not with wine.
Do you see, honey? Solutions are easy.
Together we're stronger.
That's right.
Take it.
I'm calling everyone.
Okay.
Does being here
remind you of what happened to you?
Yes.
But it wasn't the sea's fault.
You know I love you.
You're the most important person
in my life.
I had to get back to Úrsula.
Okay. Why?
The last one!
I swear.
What's wrong?
We forgot your dad's birthday.
-We need to go now.
-I can't believe it.
Check this out.
What's this?
With us, she'd share its healing powers.
But that's not what she did.
She left her teachers in the dark.
This is a call
for the Medusa Business Group
to step up and take responsibility.
This is the proof I have with Bárbara.
MESSAGES
GODDESS, ANSWER ME.
LET ME SPEAK. GIVE ME A CHANCE.
DELETE
Is it true what she said?
Did you take advantage of her?
Not that I remember.
Why is she saying this now?
-Why didn't she say it before?
-I don't know.
She showed me The Guide.
I was producing it.
-But that's all I know.
-Okay.
Okay.
SEE YOU THIS AFTERNOON AT THE BEACH HOUSE.
I want to change for me.
I want to do it for myself.
Thank you.
Well done. That was brave.
Well, brave souls,
today was another amazing day
of feeding our spirits, wasn't it?
Now let's treat our stomachs
to some delicious food!
You are invited.
I'll wait for you outside.
-I'll catch up with you.
-I'll take people out.
Friend. Thank you very much, buddy.
You didn't come back.
I imagined the worst.
But everything takes time,
and you are here now.
If you're up for it,
we're all going out to eat.
All of us?
Well, you and I
can also go somewhere else.
And that's it.
Great. Let's do that.
I'll go to the restroom. Be right back.
Sure.
GODDESS
CALLING
We're sorry. At the moment,
your call cannot be answered.
He's coming.
-He's coming.
-Really? Finally!
He just told me.
Don't look so skeptical.
CAMERA
Oh, yeah.
-He's coming!
-Okay.
Listen, Clari.
I'm sorry, I have an emergency at work.
Let's do this another time, okay? Thanks.
With everything that's going on,
is it the best time for this?
Cristian,
Camilo is taking care of that.
Isn't he?
I hope so.
Your dad has been very worried.
I wanted him to be distracted.
My dad says he's going to be late.
Oh, no! I thought he was almost here.
Leave him alone.
He's working on something very important.
He's doing as you say, boss.
-Is that the present?
-Yes.
Where's the birthday boy?
Uncle, happy birthday.
Here's to another 140 years!
To show my love,
I bought you a little present.
I hope you like it.
-Yes, this…
-Thank you.
It's a pleasure. That's a fine one. Yes.
It's an exact replica.
-Well, not exact. You know.
-How beautiful.
This is a Golden Hind.
An English galleon
that sailed around the world in 1577.
-From your time, right?
-It's beautiful, son.
When will Bárbara
and the other idiot arrive?
They should be here soon.
What time will they serve us?
So we can finally put an end to this.
Your alliance with Bárbara is worthless.
-This is a call for the Medusa…
-Hey!
I won't be CEO, Mom.
You will be CEO.
Don't you understand, Viviana?
Hang on a bit longer.
Just a bit longer, and this will be ours.
-Mom, I just don't…
-We're almost there.
Mom, listen to me!
I can't take it anymore.
I'm sorry, but I can't.
What's with this girl? Vivi!
Vivi!
Vivi, sweetheart.
What's wrong with you?
This is what we've worked for.
Do you think you're tricking Bárbara?
She's always one step ahead.
What?
Mom.
Bárbara is not your ally.
Because…
she knew things about me.
What things, Viviana?
She knew that I was on drugs.
Instead of telling you…
she gave me the drugs.
She got them for me.
And when I was in deep shit,
she started threatening me.
If I didn't do as she said,
she'd tell you.
That's why I tried to kill myself.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
-I'm sorry!
-Sweetheart.
Go wash your face.
Oh, finally!
The life of the party is here.
The "Earthquake" Hidalgo herself.
Serious stuff, huh?
Hi, baby.
Come here, Barbie.
Are you going to explain
the latest scandal you were involved in?
Or you don't remember
due to your Alzheimer's?
I do want to know
how that Indigenous woman was deceived.
-Her name is Eluney.
-Eluney? How exotic!
-What is he talking about?
-Nothing.
Oh, cousin!
I do have to thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
for dragging our company through the mud.
That's just what we wanted.
Hey, calm down.
Nobody's talking about that.
Right. We're here
to celebrate Dami's birthday.
Not to fight.
-Let's make a toast.
-Cheers.
To the great Damien!
Happy Birthday, Dami!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
May you have a thousand more. Blessings.
Enjoy!
-Great weather.
-Let's eat.
-Table looks great.
-It's true.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Chafir is here today
to explain the topic of the day.
Good afternoon. Nice to be here.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
Happy birthday, Mr. Damián.
This won't take long.
Mrs. Bárbara didn't negotiate
with any Indigenous people
because there's nothing to negotiate.
Wow! What a good explanation.
-It's crystal clear now.
-Let me explain.
The mushroom did come from the mangrove.
A sample was taken and sent to the lab
to be processed and analyzed.
But the mangrove belongs to the State,
so there's no wrongdoing or crime.
I don't understand
why everyone is accusing Bárbara,
if you discovered The Guide, Cristian.
Didn't you?
Hey, it's the old man's birthday.
This is heading in the wrong direction.
What's that thing?
Camilo? What are you doing
with those people?
Wait. You can't be here.
-It's a private event.
-You, ma'am.
You deceived us.
You came into our community,
looking for healing,
supposedly out of a deep love
for my goddaughter.
You took the sacred part of our mangrove.
We're here to demand
that any process you wish
to undertake with The Guide
must be carried out with us.
Eluney, can we talk?
We've talked.
-Security, take them out.
-Wait.
-Aguirre, come here.
-No. Hold on.
Minorities have rights too, oppressor.
I invited the chief
to talk about what's going on.
-Hey, Uncle. What are you doing?
-What you told me.
-We'll handle it with the truth.
-No.
These ladies are tricksters. Liars!
Calm down.
We'll reach an agreement
with Eluney's people.
But not now or here.
-This is the time to do it.
-Camilo, it isn't.
That's enough. Shut up, ass-kisser!
What's wrong?
-Hey!
-Don't silence my dad. Okay?
Let's keep on listening to your wife's
interracial polyamorous adventures.
Dad!
Stop, please!
Let's go. Let's go.
Stop it!
Stop, Esteban!
Enough!
-No! Motherfucker!
-Calm down, honey.
-No! Look at how that asshole acted!
-Enough, honey.
Motherfucker!
I'll call you back.
Now I have to fix that shitstorm
with those people. Great!
Both of us have to sort it out.
We'll reach an agreement.
Cristian, I need to know
what happened to my mom.
-You're really bringing that up now?
-Yes.
For me, it matters. A lot.
You honestly don't remember what you did?
No. What did I do?
What did you do?
You made her abandon me.
And I'm only talking about myself
because you didn't give a shit.
What are you saying?
-I'm not up for this.
-Wait a minute. I swear I don't remember.
I swear.
You know what I think about your attack?
What?
That you caused it.
You're crazy.
Am I crazy?
Isn't it crazy to accuse
your own family of wanting to kill you?
Since you came with the story
about the attack and the amnesia,
all you've done is divide our family.
But you won't succeed with me.
Because I know you.
Mommy? Where are you going?
I need to go. I can't breathe.
I'll go with you.
Please, I don't want to stay.
Let's have a nice meal together.
Okay?
Okay.
We're going alone!
Mom, I have a question.
Is what that woman said true?
I don't know.
I still can't remember a lot of things.
Anyone can lie to me. I don't know.
-Is everything okay?
-Yes, sure.
It's okay.
It's all good.
Down!
No!
Mom!
What happened?
Freeze, motherfucker!
Are you okay?
-Yes.
-Come here. Are you okay?
Don't worry. It's okay.
Breathe, honey. Breathe.
Breathe. It's all good.
Finish examining him,
then cuff him in the ambulance.
Are you okay?
No.
Calm down.
What are you doing here?
Looking out for you.
I told you nothing would happen to you.
Go with Maya. I'll take care of this.
Yeah.
