Women in Blue (2024) s02e04 Episode Script

1
[child] Mom, Mom, hurry.
Ernesto's about to start.
[parent] I'll be right there.
"Our Mexican flag.
A legacy of our heroes.
Symbol of unity, of our parents,
and of our brothers.
We promise our eternal loyalty towards…
Towards…
- Towards…
- Towards the principles…
of liberty…
and justice, huh?
- That turned our homeland…"
- Keep going, son.
"…into a nation of independents,
human and generous,
to which we devote our existence."
- Okay.
- [exhales]
- Let's eat before it's cold.
- [sighs]
[sighs]
Don't give me that look, boys.
I told you that the doctor said
your father has to lose some weight.
So we're all going to help, right?
[sighs]
Come on.
[dog whines softly]
[exhales]
Mm.
Mm.
[exhales]
- [gun cocks]
- [gasps]
God, please, please don't hurt me.
Take my wallet or my watch.
Please, sir, take whatever you want.
I have a wife and two kids.
Okay, what do you want me to do?
WOMEN IN BLUE
["No Soy Tuya", Ximena Sariñana]
[footsteps approaching]
[singsong] Good morning.
It's time to wake up. Hey.
Rise and shine, up and at 'em.
It's already late.
Hey.
- [winces]
- Look, I made you…
your favorite breakfast, hon. Huh?
[sniffs]
Look. Look at the tulips I found.
[sighs]
Drink your coffee first.
That way, you…
- Ah, you will…
- [María sighs]
…uh, feel more alert.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, sorry.
I'm really sorry, Alejandro.
The thing is, that last night…
I was… I don't know.
Honestly, I don't know
what I was thinking.
Maybe… Maybe that's what this
is all about then.
No, last night…
I was just dealing with a lot.
And drank more than I should have.
- [Alejandro sighs]
- [winces]
Hey. Hey, listen.
María, come on, we love each other, and…
we have something that works,
and it works really well.
No? Are you saying we don't work well?
No, no, no. It's not about that.
Well, what then? Do you love me?
Yes, but…
The kids will be up soon and I…
I gotta go.
Listen, what happened last night
was a step in the right direction.
Honey.
I'm sorry, Alejandro.
[sighs]
MURDERED POLICE OFFICER
CONFESSES TO CRIMES
[door closes]
[Luz] María Elena Camacho de la Torre.
Mom.
[sighs]
Weren't you asleep?
How could I possibly be sleeping
when I thought you'd been murdered?
- [María sighs]
- Why didn't you sleep here?
[sighs]
Things have been really stressful lately,
Mom, please don't.
We don't want to wake up the children.
You ought to be thinking about them.
Because with your work patterns
and your partying,
you've forgotten to be their mom.
- There isn't even any milk in the fridge.
- Mom.
That's why you left Alejandro?
I was with him last night.
- Hmm?
- I spent the night with him, okay?
- Happy now?
- Oh!
Now, please stop.
I'm gonna go buy some milk.
A nationwide confession, huh?
What? What are you doing here?
How did you know where to find me?
[Goyo] This…
is all the public is talking about, María.
You know that with this killer,
the detectives don't have a clue
where to start.
I can help you.
[sighs]
No, really, thank you,
but I'm all right.
Would you like some nuts?
[María] No, thanks.
You know what?
My mom used to make candied peanuts
at our home.
They always made me sick, even though
I never actually tried them.
And then one fateful day,
she forced me to try it.
And then, after that, I was addicted.
[chuckles]
[cackles]
Hey, when you caught The Undresser,
you didn't stop being a cop, did you?
No.
That's because when you do
something in life
that brings you great satisfaction,
the only thing that you want
is to get that feeling again.
That's precisely how I felt
when I helped you.
Mr. Cadenas, it's the weekend, and…
- I'd like to get home to my family.
- Of course.
But what I meant to say is that, well,
this is very interesting, right?
Everything that this murderer
has accomplished?
Maybe…
his whole plan was to murder once,
but then…
once he went through with it,
he came to his senses.
Here.
You keep shopping.
I have to leave now.
Excuse me.
MR. GREGORIO CADENAS BARROSO LAWYER
[door opens]
Ooh! All right.
Tell me all about it right now!
- [Valentina squeals]
- No, not right now.
Yeah, I know, you're a lady,
but just give me something.
- Was he like Pedro Armendáriz…
- Shh!
…or was he like César Costa? Huh?
[exhales]
We weren't together.
- Why?
- Because I felt like it was insane.
And I went back to my house.
Would you just tell me…
Do you want him? Yes or no.
Yes.
[Valentina scoffs]
So then…?
This is not the 19th century.
You're just going out with him,
not having his children.
Well, it's obvious I'm needed here,
so I will go ask Romandía out for you…
No, shh!
- …so that you can stop being stupid…
- Hey!
- But listen, everything else is on you.
- Valentina, I swear to God…
- Morning.
- Morning.
- [clears throat]
- [María clears throat]
[Valentina stifles laugh]
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, we're fine.
Excuse me, Captain.
May I ask where you're going this morning?
Well, uh, it turns out
that Filiberto Guerra's confession
was recorded using
a state-of-the-art camera.
Oh.
And, fortunately, only a few of these
exist in the country.
[Valentina] Mm-hmm.
And the only one that happens to belong
to a single individual…
is a movie director.
A guy by the name of Gabriel Arizmendi.
Oh, wow. I know that guy.
He's the director of
Shadow of the Fallen, right?
You know what?
I think María should probably go with you,
because she loves movies,
and she could, uh…
She could help you with that, right?
- Yeah, excellent.
- Mm-hmm.
- Grab your stuff and let's go.
- Yeah.
- [Octavio clears throat]
- [gasps]
[Valentina coughs]
Sir, here are the police officers
I told you about.
Oh, yeah, right.
Good morning. How are you?
I don't have much time, I apologize.
You may already be aware,
I'm about to release my latest film.
So, tell me now, how can I help?
We'll be quick.
[clears throat]
We came here to speak to you
about a camera.
- Yeah.
- It's a portable one.
- Okay.
- The camera's known as a Portapak…
- Mm.
- …and it's registered under your name.
I see.
You found it finally?
- What do you mean? Was it lost?
- [chuckles under breath]
You people are so useless.
Seriously, it's insane.
Would you be so kind
to show us the statement
that you gave to the authorities?
We should have started with this one.
Wow, what a beautiful face.
Why are you a cop,
and not Best Actress?
- How long's it been missing?
- It was my fault.
My boss took his car over
to a movie premiere and, um,
I accidentally left the camera
on the backseat.
It was broken into.
It's all in the statement.
What's your name, Miss?
Lieutenant María de la Torre.
I promise you, I'll remember it.
Eleazar.
Here's a copy of the report.
You can take it.
Excuse us.
He was charming, right?
More like a pompous bastard.
No…
[Gabina] Listen.
This is from Damián Ojeda's diary.
"Genuine transformation is not conquered
with the bang of a bullet,
but rather with reason,
whose persistence disarms everything that
violence only perpetuates."
He doesn't sound like a psychopath.
[Ángeles] Right.
Killing Filiberto Guerra
might have just been an act of survival.
However, extracting the confession
matches with a different profile.
What if something about him
changed since then?
Something like what?
[María sighs]
I think that the confession proved him
right in front of the whole country.
And from that point on,
he came to his senses.
Possibly.
The real psychopath here
is Filiberto Guerra.
Let's not forget that.
I know that you'd like to believe Damián
is a good person, Val,
but the guy shot at María.
He could have killed her.
María.
Your husband's calling.
For the third time.
[footsteps receding]
Yeah, I told her.
- [TV plays in background]
- Sorry, she's still busy.
Yeah, sure, sure, of course.
I'll tell her.
Take it easy.
We have a very special guest for you.
A surprise. Yeah!
Los Teen Tops.
[audience cheers]
A real heartthrob.
This guy is a good man and a dear friend.
Enrique Guzmán.
- [upbeat music plays]
- [cheering]
It's time for
a commercial break, everyone,
then we'll be back to your show
Mediodía con su Rorro.
- Done.
- [music stops abruptly]
Cut! That's great. We're off the air.
[upbeat music plays over TV]
My name is Rómulo Quintanilla.
I'm the lieutenant in charge
of the Customs Department
of Distrito Federal's police force.
And this is my confession.
I've had my badge for more than 15 years.
What's the sponsor up to today?
You gotta be playing with me right now,
aren't you, Angustias?
That's Angustias' uncle, right?
[chuckles]
No, really. Who is that? What's going on?
From the very beginning,
I saw how everything went down.
- Is this on air?
- Yeah, it is, sir.
- We had an understanding
- Go tell Boti to pull it immediately.
…with the supervisors on duty
at Customs.
Hey, pull this right now!
Kill it! Kill it!
Get that off now!
- …household appliances, watches…
- Boti, do it now. Come on!
You're gonna fuck everyone!
- Cut it! Now cut the fucking piece…
- We stole all of it.
What are you doing? Boti, hey!
I'm sorry, Paco. Forgive me.
I swear, I didn't have any choice.
- Damn it, please, open up.
- They threatened me too.
- And whoever didn't cooperate
- [patron] Hey, turn it up, man.
…they ended up in prison for it.
Sometimes they'd get slapped around.
Did you hear what's going on?
Are you watching the TV?
Whatever was necessary so they would
understand what the rules were.
Although the real deal began
when we started seizing drugs.
- Then the damn floodgates opened up.
- It's Quintanilla.
If we found something,
we only reported half of it.
Just so that our bosses
would be able to say
that they actually did something.
The other half of the stash,
that was for the gang.
Damián Ojeda just declared war
against the police.
That piece of shit just signed
his fucking death warrant.
- Lieutenant Cícero and I
- Boti!
- [video cuts]
- [upbeat music playing]
[sobbing]
I'm sorry, Paco.
[sirens wailing]
Flashlight.
[helicopter whirring]
He's got an injection.
[Escobedo] It was the director
of the program.
You see, they threatened
to kill his family
if he didn't play the tape.
But we already have a suspect.
A young man called Damián Ojeda.
And why haven't you gotten the coward's
face on every TV in the country already?
People are waiting for us to reveal
the face of who's responsible.
Though if we do that, Mr. President,
won't the situation be worse?
Listen, it can't get any worse.
So, you will call Zabludovsky right now,
make him useful,
and ask him to spread that photo.
With all due respect, Mr. President, sir,
if we give them a hero, they will revolt.
If that happens,
I have the Halcones to restore order.
The executioner of the capitol police,
Damián Ojeda,
is currently a fugitive
and is still at large.
The authorities are requesting
public contribution
to help in the immediate arrest
of this dangerous criminal.
Be sure to think critically.
This assassin, who has selfishly
hijacked our broadcast
and terrorized this community,
is a delinquent.
This man needs to be behind bars.
That's why we're asking for your help
in any information that you can provide,
so the police are able
to arrest this criminal.
Please do your part and help us
and call the numbers that appear now.
Damián Ojeda is an armed
and dangerous man.
All of those alleged confessions
are nothing more than a bunch of lies.
Those are the deeds of a sad man,
a man dead set on spreading chaos and fear
around our great city.
- [ringing]
- [Chela] Valentina, you have a call.
They say it's urgent.
- Who's this?
- Damián Ojeda.
Yeah, and I'm your grandma.
Don't hang up, please don't hang up.
You felt ashamed
for not having been in Tlatelolco.
Please listen to me.
You shot your pistol at us.
If I had wanted to,
I could have killed you.
I got scared, the gun went off,
but no one was killed.
Then, come to the station.
No way. They're going to tear me apart.
- But I have an alibi.
- [chuckles]
Your alibi didn't work out, Damián.
- The manager at the factory said that…
- Elsa Palacios.
I was with her that night.
Please try to locate her.
Elsa Palacios.
Listen, let me get one
of my colleagues and we'll talk…
- [line disconnects]
- I…
[Valentina] Good morning.
Can I speak with Elsa Palacios, please?
With Elsa Palacios, that's correct.
Do you know Damián Ojeda?
Excuse me, is this Elsa Palacios?
[over phone]
Vivanco family residence.
Good evening.
Uh, may I please speak to Elsa Palacios?
Palacios de Vivanco. That's me.
Do you happen to know
a guy named Damián Ojeda?
[inhales shakily]
Um…
Who is this?
This is Valentina Camacho.
I'm a police officer
with the Federal District.
No.
No, I don't know him.
Elsa,
Damián needs you.
I told you, I don't know any Damián.
You've been misinformed.
He told me that you're the only one
who is able to help him.
- I can meet you at your house.
- No, don't you dare.
Listen, you're mistaken.
I don't know that person.
[line disconnects]
[footsteps approaching]
[sighs]
María, I need you to help me out, but…
no interruptions, okay?
All right. What happened?
I heard from Damián Ojeda.
He told me that he's innocent
and he has an alibi.
Are you crazy?
I know none of you believe
this man's innocent, but listen to me.
I spoke to his alibi. I needed to be sure.
And as soon as I mentioned him,
she got really nervous.
Then she told me that she didn't know him.
But, in my opinion, Damián and her,
they know each other.
[Gabina] He could be manipulating you.
Guys, he's a cop killer.
He could be looking for his next victim,
and setting a trap.
I'm not a dirty cop.
During The Undresser's case,
we violated seven laws
and five articles of criminal code.
[sighs]
María, we have something.
And he claims he was with her
during the assassination
- of Filiberto Guerra?
- [Valentina] Yes.
[María] Where could they have met?
Possibly at Damián's house.
No, she introduced herself
as Palacios de Vivanco.
She's married.
In that case, they might have just met
in someplace
where no one would recognize her.
Hmm. Luna Creciente.
What?
The evening of the murder,
Filiberto Guerra was following Olga.
But the previous two Thursdays,
he was following Damián to this motel.
"He arrived at Luna Creciente 7:00 p.m.,
accompanied by a woman
in a blue Ford Galaxy."
Then Guerra followed her home.
[Ángeles] And he wrote her address here.
- [Chela] We are really busy.
- Right, right. I imagine so, but…
But are you sure that
you're passing along my messages?
- You're certain?
- [Chela] Yeah, I already told you.
- Alejandro de la Torre, okay?
- [line disconnects]
You there?
[Alejandro sighs]
In my experience, when a woman
ignores you for this long,
it means there's someone else.
[chuckles]
No.
But what would I know?
I'm not even married.
Yeah.
Uh…
Did you need something?
Just to clear my head.
I'm trying to come up with
ideas for a project but…
- can't think of anything.
- Hmm.
Well, you know,
if you're all right with it, uh,
um, I'm happy to help design it.
No.
I need a much younger perspective.
And do you mean to imply
I'm not capable of
designing something youthful?
Seriously? Just ignore my gray hair.
[Alejandro chuckles]
All right.
- All right? What do you mean?
- Put a proposal together.
Okay.
When do you need it?
Yesterday, but you have till tomorrow.
I'll give you the file.
[Uriel] Same as Guerra.
Cause of death was from
sodium pentothal overdose.
The media is already calling him
"The Executioner".
- The Executioner?
- Hmm-hmm.
Gentlemen, I'd like a moment alone
with my son.
See you later.
What more do you need to happen
to use a hotel?
Sir, I think we can solve this case
without resorting to that.
Listen to me.
I have no idea what the hell
that fucker is doing
that forces them to confess like this.
I knew Filiberto Guerra a great deal more
than anyone else did.
And that man was made of steel.
He would have never confessed.
Tell me, son, which one of us
has to get kidnapped next
for you to do something?
[Gerardo sighs]
I apologize, sir.
I'll interrogate him here.
At the station.
[footsteps receding]
[sighs]
[door closes]
[Mar] Mom, why do people hate the police?
[María] Who hates the police?
People. I don't know.
Well, I suppose it's because…
everyone's entitled
to their own opinion, but…
Where'd you hear that?
Uh, there's a boy at my school
that found out you're a police officer.
He says some really mean things.
All right.
Don't listen to him.
Ignore him.
That way, he doesn't get what he wants,
and he'll leave you alone.
Who knows, maybe…
he likes you.
[Alex]
Mom, what do I do with this frying pan?
Coming!
I'm sorry, sweetie.
[pan clattering]
All right.
[Valentina]
Why don't we just ring the doorbell?
[Gabina]
Because she won't talk to us at her house.
Her family's there.
I just don't understand how
a woman who's married
can find it in themselves
to go meet someone at a motel.
[scoffs]
And where would you take your date?
To your house?
I would never take another man
to my house.
I wouldn't take him to one of those
disgusting motels either, that's for sure.
Yeah, well,
then you're never gonna get laid.
Half of a loaf is a lot better than none.
That's right!
How does that even apply here?
Where would you take Gabina's brother?
Okay, new topic, huh, Val?
I would never, ever have sex
before marriage.
- Mm.
- It's immoral.
[Valentina chuckles]
You've been biting your fingernails a lot.
- [door opens]
- [Gabina] There's Elsa.
[María] And she's leaving
in her blue Galaxy.
[engine starts up]
Get closer, you're gonna lose her.
No, I'm not, Val.
We have to maintain our distance.
The last thing we want
is to be seen.
No, it's letting her
slip through our fingers.
Yes, you're right.
So when you buy your own car,
you'll decide how close we follow,
all right?
[boss] Alejandro, this is impressive.
[Alejandro chuckles]
Good to hear!
- It's modern, it's daring.
- [chuckles]
This isn't a cultural center,
this is a work of art, man.
[Alejandro chuckles]
Well, I'm glad that you like it.
[boss] I love it.
Can you imagine how good it will look
in downtown São Paulo?
Uh, you mean, like, São Paulo…
in Brazil?
Yes, but don't worry.
If this client chooses to move forward,
they'll send your whole
entire family there.
Including your house.
These opportunities
don't come around all the time.
No, I know. And I appreciate it.
Really, I'm grateful. Hmm.
But I'm going through
a rough time right now.
Listen. I'm gonna submit the draft anyway,
no matter what.
You have until tonight to let me know
if you'll move and be a director,
or I'll have to find someone else.
Huh.
FOURTH FLOOR - VISITOR
[receptionist]
Thank you for coming, Mrs. Vivanco.
[Elsa] Thank you.
[Valentina] Elsa.
I'm Valentina Camacho.
We were talking on the phone earlier.
I already said
I wasn't interested in talking.
[María] We're not here
to cause you any problems.
Then just leave me alone.
We're just asking for five minutes
of your time.
After that, you will never see us again.
Why am I supposed to trust you guys?
Because we are the only ones who believe
that Damián might actually be innocent.
[breathes shakily]
[Elsa] Six months ago,
I met Damián at the Book Fair.
[sighs]
My husband and I were…
[sighs]
Well, we are…
going through some things,
and it's complicated.
And what started as a mistake,
turned into something else.
And, yeah,
we met Thursdays, every Thursday,
at the same place.
Including this last one.
[exhales]
Ladies, we've found his alibi.
An "alibi"? What's that?
It means that if he was with you,
it's not possible that he actually
committed the crime.
We need your help. We need you
to give a statement at the station.
No. No, I won't.
I already told you guys.
That's enough, isn't it?
The detectives won't accept
an anonymous statement from us.
I don't care.
[sighs]
It would ruin my life.
Listen, my husband is a lawyer.
If he finds out,
my kids will get taken,
and I'll be out on the street.
[Valentina] Damián has a lot more to lose
than you.
But you still haven't arrested him, right?
So, then,
if you still haven't arrested him,
then an alibi isn't even necessary.
If they arrest him,
they'll force him to confess.
[scoffs]
He would rather die
than confess to something
that he didn't do.
Right, and that's exactly
what we're afraid of.
I'm truly sorry. Goodbye.
[radio host] The city is officially
on the brink of absolute chaos.
- [shouting]
- Right now, as we speak,
hundreds of citizens
are gathered outside the police station.
They are all demanding an explanation
on the corrupt behavior
that was recently revealed
through the latest confession
obtained by the murderer,
who is now known as The Executioner.
The police chief, Emilio Escobedo,
stated that these confessions
are nothing but pure lies.
If you take this to Gerardo
without a witness
who's willing to give a statement,
or worse,
with one that will contradict you,
you're the ones who will be at risk.
And if we go to Elsa's house,
then her husband will find out.
Yeah, but that's not our problem.
The reason Damián didn't give her name
to the detectives
was because he wasn't going
to force her to defend him.
We're not gonna do that either.
[Octavio]
Truth without evidence isn't enough.
[breathes shakily]
[Valentina] Damián isn't the murderer.
[María sighs]
Valentina.
[Valentina] What do you want, Ángeles?
How often does your shortness
of breath occur?
[breathing heavily]
Ángeles, I'm in the bathroom.
[Ángeles] Shortness of breath
and nail biting
are telltale symptoms of something
you need to treat.
You know what I need to treat?
The helplessness I feel knowing that
Elsa won't be talking,
and we'll be sending Damián to jail
for a crime he obviously didn't commit,
and, on top of that, we don't even know
who the real murderer is.
It's normal…
that I am affected by this.
It's normal.
But you…
Nothing ever affects you, right?
You're just fine, no issue.
I don't know why I can't feel things
the same way others feel them.
But I will try to.
[footsteps receding]
[sobbing]
[breathing heavily]
[groans]
Which one of you will talk?
[cries out]
That fucker's your friend, isn't he?
So where is Damián Ojeda?
Huh?
[whimpers]
[cocks gun]
Okay, okay! I'll tell you!
But I swear he didn't murder
any police officer.
[breathing heavily]
[Gilberto] Sir…
we know where he's hiding.
Move out of the way!
Come on, get out of the way!
This is an official operation.
Quickly!
Hey, get out of the way!
Everyone, upstairs, go!
Don't let him escape!
[indistinct clamoring]
- [Gilberto] I got you, asshole.
- Wait a minute.
Wait, you son of a bitch!
- [gunshot]
- [groans]
[breathing heavily]
- [Gilberto] End of the road, asshole.
- You've got me now.
Right here.
[Damián] Don't do anything to me, please.
- [cackles]
- Come on, man. I'm begging you.
Come on, please…
[Damián groans]
- [Damián whimpers]
- Get him out of here.
[Damián coughs]
- Let's move.
- [Damián whimpers]
[radio host]
According to the first testimonies,
this could be Damián Ojeda,
best known as The Executioner.
She's talking about you.
[chuckles]
I'm innocent.
A killer saying he's innocent.
I love fairytales, man.
[Gilberto chuckles]
I'd like to speak to a lawyer
as soon as we get to the station.
[Gilberto scoffs]
Who said we're going to the station?
Speed up.
[siren wails]
[Gerardo] Why didn't you tell me
this was your plan, Dad?
It's my case.
Why do you have to involve Gilberto?
[Commander Herrera] Do you want to know
why I involved Gilberto and not you?
Because he follows orders.
Unlike you.
Always questioning
and doubting everything.
Like a coward.
My children are not cowards.
That man went and killed two of our own.
And, Gerardo, one of those men
was my friend, and you know that.
I'm aware of that, Dad.
But Damián Ojeda
should be questioned here,
and not at the Madrid.
[Commander Herrera]
Damián Ojeda has to be questioned
at a location
where he will confess faster.
[Gerardo] All right, sir.
- [Commander Herrera] Commander.
- [Gerardo] Commander.
[María] We have a problem.
They won't bring Damián to the station.
They plan to interrogate him
at a place called the Madrid.
The Madrid?
Yeah.
[sighs]
The Madrid is an abandoned hotel
where people are tortured.
- Where did you hear about that?
- Come on. Don't ask me that, please.
Well, we have to speak to Gerardo,
no matter what.
Sure, but we don't have any proof yet.
Where you going?
[elevator dings]
[engine revs]
[tires screech]
[tires screech]
What the hell are you doing here, Gabina?
You trying to get ran over? Move it!
We have to speak.
What is it, Gaba?
Damián Ojeda was with someone
the night of the murder.
A woman.
- She should give us her statement then.
- She doesn't want to come.
Remember, if you don't have a statement,
then you have nothing, Gabina.
We know she's telling us the truth,
but she's married.
Giving her statement would ruin her life.
Well, then just give me a name.
- No, we can't betray her trust…
- Listen, Gabina.
I can't base an investigation
on assumptions.
What part of that don't you understand?
I know they're going to torture him, Gera.
I know what they do at Hotel Madrid.
They'll force a false confession
out of him,
while the killer is still free.
The alibi that we have is real.
I know that we can find another way
to prove it.
But if those guys force him
to sign that statement,
there's no coming back from that.
[Gerardo sighs]
[engine starts up]
[coughing]
[spluttering]
You know what happens if you refuse
to sign the statement, right?
How many more cops
did you want to kill, asshole?
How many was it?
I didn't murder any of those cops.
It wasn't me. I wasn't involved with it.
I'm glad they both got killed.
Neither of those fuckers
were real police officers.
They were both a couple of scumbags.
That's right.
But now everyone knows it, right?
I'll tell you one last thing.
What's that?
I hope whoever killed those two…
comes to kill you next, motherfucker.
[cries out]
Damn it!
- Son of a bitch! Goddammit!
- [Gerardo] Drop the gun!
Dad didn't order me to drop it.
You're taking orders from me now.
Put down the gun.
This fucker's our man, Gerardo.
Officer, I said put down your pistol.
Drop the gun, asshole.
That's an order.
I'll take him to the station.
[Gilberto] Son of a bitch.
Take these cuffs off him.
Take him to the car.
- Someone looking for me?
- Yeah, right there.
Elsa?
[Elsa sighs]
- I heard on the radio…
- Mm-hmm.
…they arrested him.
- Is it true?
- Yeah.
[door opens]
[Valentina] Detective.
This is Elsa Palacios.
She's come here to give you her statement.
Ms. Palacios,
please make yourself comfortable.
I'm Detective Gerardo Herrera.
How are you?
- Good to have you here.
- My pleasure.
Ah, ladies?
Could one of you…
I'd appreciate it…
if one of you could stay with me
while she gives her statement.
- It's your turn.
- No, it's yours.
You deserve it.
Mm.
[Gerardo] Ms. Palacios…
- [door closes]
- I appreciate you coming here.
Just know everything will be all right.
I can't believe she came.
She's risking it all,
her children, her family,
for her lover.
Damián Ojeda is not just her lover.
Elsa is pregnant.
The tag she brought back to the reception
was for the fourth floor.
Obstetrics and Gynecology.
FOURTH FLOOR
She was crying.
Maybe she just found out.
I have to go.
Ángeles, wait a minute.
I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier.
I speak without thinking.
Don't worry about it.
I do that too.
What did you say?
[chuckles]
Nothing.
Now…
we just have one thing left to do.
- Mm?
- What?
[door opens]
Octavio.
- [door closes]
- Yes, María?
Um…
I wanted to know if…
[sighs]
If you wanted to…
go out with me.
[closes drawer]
Holy moly…
[María chuckles]
Go out?
You know, like…
a date, I mean.
But only if you're not busy.
[Octavio exhales]
[sighs]
I've never done this,
but, um,
yeah, I mean a date.
[Octavio chuckles]
Today?
Huh?
Today.
I would love to.
- Today?
- Today.
Well, all right. Okay, that's fine.
[Octavio chuckles]
All right?
I'll see you there.
[Valentina] Hmm.
One, two, three, four.
See? Look, I'm about to win.
Nu-uh, you're a cheater.
- [laughing] Why?
- I want to play another game.
I want to play Crime Mystery.
No, I want to play Tourist.
- [Mar] Why should I care what you want?
- [Alex] We always play Crime Mystery.
Listen up, you two.
There's a note on the fridge
with the address of where I'm going
in case you need it. Okay?
- Okay.
- Have fun at your girls' night, Mom.
Yeah, leave already.
We don't want you here.
Bye.
Wanna watch a scary movie tonight,
you two?
- Yeah, can we?
- Uh-huh.
["Sin Final", Ela Laboriel]
BOWLING ALLEY
REFORMA
Hello.
Hello.
You look really nice, María.
Thanks.
OR?
- [chuckles]
- Do you play a lot?
Little bit.
Shall we?
Yeah, sure. Let's go.
[bowling ball rumbles]
["Revolucionando", Los Yetis]
I have never been to a bowling alley.
This here is the newest one in town.
Octavio!
Here, this way.
- Chucho.
- This must be my lucky day.
"El Guajolote" himself in person!
Octavio, Chucho. Octavio, for God's sake.
And, uh, who's this little beauty?
- [Octavio] Be respectful.
- Hmm.
- Lieutenant María de la Torre.
- It's just María. Pleasure to meet you.
The pleasure's mine, María. What size?
Five, please.
- Welcome.
- Thanks.
And why do you call him El Guajolote?
"La guajolota" is when you roll
three strikes in a row.
Well, so this dude always closes his game
with a freaking guajolota.
Enjoy your game.
- Thank you.
- This way.
So you only play a little?
- [person 1 on TV groaning]
- [person 2 on TV exclaims]
Mom would never let us do this.
She's super boring.
She's boring?
No way.
Nah, your mom is a savage.
She's a beast.
[growls]
- Really?
- Yeah.
Back when they taught us all wrestling
at the Academy,
your mom beat a woman
at least twice as big as her.
- Mm-hmm.
- She did?
Mm-hmm.
I want to do that to a kid
from my classroom
who won't stop bothering me.
If you want, I can teach you a choke hold
we learned back at the Academy,
so that little jerk will think twice
before he tries bothering my Mar.
- Okay, sure.
- Cool.
[Mar chuckles]
["Brebaje De Amor", Angélica María]
[María exclaims]
[squeals]
- Damn!
- I'm embarrassed.
- Put your hand here…
- Here.
[María] Woo-hoo!
[María chuckles]
- That's when I threw a strike.
- Great.
Always relax your arm.
You gotta visualize what you want.
The ball will do the rest.
Okay.
[squeals]
There you go! There you go! See?
[Octavio exclaims]
Nineteen.
I hope your hiding spots are good.
Twenty!
[impersonates pirate]
Perhaps I can smell a niece
hiding over here, right?
- Found you!
- [squeals]
[Mar chuckles]
[doorbell rings]
Who dares disturb my fortress?
Hello.
[chuckles]
How are you? What a surprise.
- Yeah.
- How long has it been?
Sorry for coming so late.
I need to speak to María.
- She's not here.
- [Mar] Dad?
- Hey.
- [Mar] Dad!
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- I'm great. I'm doing great.
- Uh, where's your mom?
- Not here.
- No?
- She's out.
Yeah… Why don't you two
go play upstairs for a while?
And then you can say goodbye
to your father.
It's really urgent.
I need to speak with her right away.
Where is she?
I don't know where she is,
but even if I did know,
I wouldn't tell you.
It feels like you're being
a little childish right now.
You're being childish
because you won't accept
- that your marriage is over.
- [sighs]
[Alejandro]
I don't know what you mean.
We slept together last night.
She came to my house.
No, that's not true.
Valentina, I'm not here to argue.
I need to know where María is.
- [Valentina] I don't…
- Dad, Dad, here it is, Dad.
This is the address.
Ah.
Have a good night, my babies.
See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
- Alejandro…
- [Alex] Bye!
- Uh…
Thanks.
["Como Te Extraño Mi Amor", Leo Dan]
[María and Octavio kissing,
breathing heavily]
[both moaning]
[gasps]
No. Come on, wait. No, no.
No, we can't.
Not right here. Not here.
Well, we can move this
over to my place if you want, hey?
Ah, no, no. I… I don't know.
I'm not ready to be going over
to your house.
That's not what I want.
- [car approaches]
- How about a hotel?
Back off, Octavio. What are you thinking?
I'm not that kind of woman.
I've never been to those places.
And I'm not about to start now.
I'm sorry. Uh, I'm sorry.
- Sorry.
- [car approaching]
Maybe the best thing right now is…
to just stay right here.
It's not perfect here, but it's…
It is mine.
It is…
- my car.
- [engine revving]
Are you sure?
Well, yeah.
Mm.
Yes.
[Gerardo] The police will never
admit they were wrong.
And as long as that's true,
you'll be known as The Executioner.
They won't stop looking for you.
You're not safe here anymore.
At least not until we catch
the real killer.
If you want to stay alive,
beat it.
[sighs]
Take this.
Damián.
Damián.
I need to know if you recognize this man
from the protest in Tlatelolco.
Doesn't seem familiar, no.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Thanks.
Can I ask you a favor?
Can you please find my mom
and tell her I'm fine?
Okay?
Sure.
I appreciate it.
What did you tell him?
[exhales]
That he should stay out of trouble.
["La Mosca", Las Moskas]
Where the fuck is she?
[car creaking]
[María and Octavio moaning]
- [María moaning] Oh, yeah.
- [Octavio] Yeah.
- [car creaking]
- [moaning]
[Alejandro] María!
[María[ Oh, God, no!
- Your husband.
- No!
- [Octavio] Fuck.
- [María whimpers]
[car door opens]
Alejandro… What…
- What are you doing, María?
- Huh?
- What the hell is this?
- No.
With your boss?
Are you kidding? What are you thinking?
What are you doing here, Alejandro?
Why do you care what I'm doing here?
Don't you realize,
he just wants to take advantage of you?
Hey, man, I'm not taking advantage of her!
You mind your business!
I'm not talking to you!
Listen, it's not what you think.
Please, Alejandro.
- Please.
- What kind of game are you playing?
This is what you needed time for?
Don't talk to her like that!
- [Octavio grunts]
- Alejandro, oh, my God!
[Alejandro grunts]
Octavio, no!
What are you doing?
Don't touch him!
Are you serious? He swung first.
- He's my husband, don't!
- [Alejando groans]
You're behaving like an animal.
- [exhales]
- [Alejandro groans]
Don't touch me.
- Leave me alone.
- Let me see.
- Don't touch me, María.
- Alejandro…
I said don't touch me!
- Alejandro…
- [breathes heavily]
Just let me look.
Just, please, María!
[Alejandro pants]
[Alejandro breathes shakily]
[whimpers]
Good morning, ma'am.
What can I help you with?
Esperanza, sweetie, how are you?
How's the quinceañera…
What happened?
It's my husband.
He never came home last night.
I would like to file
a missing person report.
- [whimpers]
- Calm down. Relax. It's okay.
- We'll find him.
- I'm scared.
No, no, no, no.
