[tense music playing]
"WHAT YOU DENY SUBMITS YOU."
"WHAT YOU ACCEP
TRANSFORMS YOU." CARL JUNG.
[faint jungle animal calls]
[music fades]
-[Danger] How is she, doctor?
-She's stable now.
She was hit in the shoulder blade.
She has asked me
not to say anything about the attack.
-She doesn't want the media to find out.
-I appreciate it.
I have some more good news for you.
What happened didn't affect her pregnancy.
So congratulations, detective.
You can see her now.
[soft dramatic music plays,
then fades gradually]
[Danger sighs]
How are you?
[hospital monitor beeps]
Why didn't you tell me
that you were pregnant?
That's what I was going
to tell you about when I saw you.
I…
I don't want this child.
[dramatic music playing]
Excuse me? Wait, wait…
You don't wanna have a child with me?
It's a risk I don't want to take.
-A risk?
-Mm-hmm.
There are lots of women much older
than you who have babies.
They have children, and they're safe.
Do you truly want
to bring a baby into this world?
Yeah. We're adults. We're in a good place.
The two of us could actually
be good parents.
-We're talking about a life here.
-Yeah.
A life.
I need you to understand my side of this.
I don't think I can raise another child.
I did that a long time ago,
and now my daughter's all grown up.
Let's just focus on us.
Just us two.
On this beautiful thing we've built.
I'm just in a different place right now.
All I want is to be able
to share that with you and Maya.
So you've already made up your mind.
-No!
-Yeah, that's how it seems.
I swear I haven't.
No. I swear.
I'd have liked
to have been involved in this decision.
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades]
Danger. How's my daughter?
She seems to be stable now.
Where the hell were the bodyguards?
Well, she was shot by a sniper, so…
And the baby?
Of course you knew about that.
-Danger…
-You weren't going to tell me either?
Or did you want me to find out
from the newspapers?
-Sorry. It wasn't my place to tell you.
-Excuse me.
-[cell phone vibrates]
-[Danger] Hey, man.
[Porras] What's up, bro? How's Bárbara?
-The worst is over.
-That's great. I'm glad to hear.
You better get your pale ass
in here right away.
I caught the motherfucker
who shot her on camera.
-I'll head back now.
-Great. Okay.
Wait for me.
I'm sorry, but I have to go.
Call if you need anything, okay?
-Look after her, please.
-Hm-hmm.
[tense sting]
[Danger] This motherfucker
never takes off his mask.
We'd better let the media outlets know
that we have this video.
We need the public on our side,
so we can find out
who this fucking monster is
and put an end to this.
I'm positive that's the same man
who killed those people.
Yeah, absolutely, bro,
but calm down a little.
Now I have to speak to the Coronel
to make this all happen.
We'll have to make it a big scene.
'Cause of Bárbara?
You better watch yourself, Porras.
Watch your mouth. Ugh.
Jeez. You need to relax.
[Esperanza] I was talking
to Danger outside.
Well, don't worry.
-You can discuss it when you get home.
-No, Mom, there's nothing to talk about.
I won't have it.
No.
[knocking at the door]
Hi, come in.
Aw!
[Bárbara] Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I wanted to tell you
I'm thinking twice about mass production.
That would be for the best.
That's not why I've come to see you.
I didn't come to argue with you.
You don't believe me?
I wish I could say I did, Bárbara.
Well, I promise.
As soon as the lawsuit is over
with my dad, I promise you, I'll resign.
I think that's a smart decision.
But this has to stay
between the three of us.
Sounds good, Bárbara.
I'm also glad to know
that you're able to let go of your ego.
-I'm glad nothing worse happened.
-Do you both realize what I'm saying?
It was me first. Now it's Bárbara.
This is against the company.
I spoke with the attorneys,
so the presidency is temporarily
in the hands of the partners,
and there's no visible representative,
not you, not Vivi, not me, none of us.
No one can stop me from working.
I'm going to stay in charge.
Hey, Bárbara, this is serious.
You could be murdered, all right?
Yeah, it could happen again.
Hey, I only called you
to talk about Dad's lawsuit, okay?
What happened? Any news for us?
Nothing from a legal perspective,
but it's key for us to remain united.
He knows we still have our differences,
and that's where he can interfere.
He'll cause trouble.
You can count on me for anything, Bárbara.
-Bárbara, ma'am?
-Yes?
Danger is here.
[Bárbara] I should've told you
as soon as I found out.
I suppose you haven't changed your mind,
have you?
You should've told me when you found out.
I'm so sorry.
I've been thinking nonstop about you.
Believe me.
But I keep coming
to the same conclusion that I…
That I really don't want
to be a mom again.
[poignant music playing]
I just don't feel capable
of starting all over.
-It's okay.
-[sighs]
I know I have to respect your decision,
whatever it is.
But I would've really liked
to start a family with you.
Danger, we are a family.
-No, we aren't a family.
-Yes.
My family includes you.
With Maya, the three of us.
You two are my family.
I want you in my life, Danger.
I can't imagine life without you.
You're the love of my life.
I love you.
I love you with all my heart.
[music fades]
You've gone insane.
'Cause I know what I'm entitled to get?
All my funds are tied up.
They're impossible to access, you know.
Mm. I knew you'd come up
with a lousy excuse like that.
I've taken the liberty to list
the two apartments at the golf course.
No shit.
Without my consent, you'll get nothing.
I've got a few buyers already, Camilo.
[scoffs] I won't sign
a damn thing for you, so deal with that.
[dramatic sting]
Then I think this marriage is over.
Let's end this damn facade.
Explain that yourself to Damián.
[sink water running]
[music turns suspenseful]
Did you talk to your husband?
God, Fabi.
What a terrible way to kill
such a sexy moment. How rude.
I know.
The problem is this stuff is important.
Don't worry. We talked.
And of course you can count on that money.
All of it?
[Jaqueline moans]
[Damián] Where the hell's your wife?
-I'm not sure. I'd guess she's atoning.
-[Úrsula] It's about to start.
THE COLOMBIAN EXEMPLARY
Today, in The Colombian Exemplary feature,
we will be doing a special focus
on pioneer Damián Hidalgo.
Damián is the groundbreaking businessman
with a forward-thinking vision,
who founded one of the most successful
companies Columbia has ever seen.
In addition, his company holds the record
for having the largest workforce
in the country,
employing more people
than any other organization.
Medusa is a world force in bringing
different companies together.
This powerful conglomerate
is leading research, development,
and progress for you and for the country.
Damián has always been family-focused.
He's a big family man.
He also loves to involve
his own children in the family business.
Unfortunately though, those choices
have not yielded good results.
But as Damián says himself…
My children have failed.
Their lack of experience
and complete arrogance has led them
to make bad decisions
that affect everyone,
decisions that have compromised
Medusa's stability.
That's why, with much regret,
I've made the hard decision
to sue my own family.
-I will not allow…
-What a complete asshole.
…my own hard work throughout my life
to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
So, if I may…
I'm sorry,
but I can't keep watching this shit. Ugh!
[dramatic music playing]
-He's awful.
-Hm.
I refuse to let him win.
He has to pay the price
for all that he's done.
He's going to, Mom. Okay?
I assure you.
[Tuly] Babe, are you seeing this shit?
Your dad's trying to play the victim.
Look at the guy. He's freaking out.
-Yeah.
-He does it to look good for the trial.
You need to be aware of this,
so you can see what a liar he is.
Those families are just like that.
Oh, hey, look! Esperanza! Hey!
-[Esperanza] How are you?
-Take a seat. Make yourself at home.
-Thanks.
-Wait. Let me clean this up for you.
-A bunch of losers was just sitting here.
-[laughing]
Take a seat. Yep.
-Thank you.
-What can I get for you? Water, beer?
-No, no. A beer at this hour? No, no.
-It's never too early to have beer.
Babe, can you bring us two beers, please,
and a glass for the lovely Esperanza?
-Yes.
-[Esperanza] Thank you.
So good to see you.
Your mom would be proud
to see the man you are. Hm-hmm.
Because you clearly have
your mother's generous heart.
Oh, I wish.
I mean, she was honestly one of a kind.
Okay, while we're waiting, talk to me.
Diógenes…
would you be willing to have
a DNA sample tested
to find out if you are Damián's son?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Danger] No fucking way.
Well, that's a major plot twist.
Danger, not a word of this to anybody.
If Damián finds out that Diógenes exists,
his life will be at risk.
You're right.
If that man is truly capable
of screwing over all of his own kids,
can you imagine what he'd do to him?
Can you promise that you won't tell
Bárbara or Cristian? Please?
I'll keep quiet.
If you don't want them to know,
it's already… forgotten.
Okay.
Danger…
people think
that women should be happy
about having a child,
or even at the thought of pregnancy.
Some of us don't have
that maternal instinct.
But it's not because of their partner.
It's nothing to do with that.
Some women don't feel the desire
to be a mother.
Did it happen to you
when you were gonna have
Bárbara or Cristian?
No. No.
At the time, well…
I didn't even know that was an option.
Hypothetically,
tell me what you would have done.
If you'd had the option,
would you have done it?
Well, the truth is, honestly…
I can't imagine my life
without my children.
I can't. And I would think
it's the same for Bárbara…
because she has Maya.
But we're not talking about that.
Okay? This is different, Danger.
It is. She's different now.
Because she knows what she wants.
It's the same old dance.
You still didn't answer my question.
Well, some questions
don't have a simple answer.
Mm?
Let me know when the results arrive, okay?
I will.
-[Fabián] I have something.
-[Jaqueline] What?
[Fabián] Something that can help
reduce your stress. Yeah?
[both giggle]
I need a word with the lady of the house.
I'll take care of it. Don't go anywhere.
[Camilo] Well, fuck me. [scoffs]
From rosaries to that asshole?
Camilo, you have absolutely no right
to complain about what I get up to.
-Take this as a warning then.
-Thanks.
What happens when Damián finds out?
What happens if the public gets
hold of this information?
This charade of a marriage
will be over, and we're screwed.
Understand? No more facade.
Jacqueline the saint,
the unblemished, savior of the people,
there'll be none of that.
You weren't aware, were you?
Of course you're not!
I appreciate the simple acknowledgment
of my image for once.
I know you don't trust what I have to say.
I, uh…
Sorry for that, I feel really terrible.
I feel awful
for having made you suffer through that.
[tense music playing]
Take care of yourself.
And take good care of Jacobo.
The documents
have all been signed for the apartments.
This is unbelievable!
Nothing but insulting lies!
They only told half of the story.
The part where Damián Hidalgo
is the perfect business guru.
But they left out that he's a bully.
He was an abuser, and a harasser,
who traumatized his own kids
and took away their mother.
They won't show that.
You have no idea
what my childhood was like.
Hey, sounds like
you need to talk about it.
Come on.
Come.
Come on.
[Cristian] Well, Bárbara became
just like him after my mom disappeared.
They were a team.
I wasn't included.
I was the weak one,
the one who was a waste of space,
the good-for-nothing one.
You were a child.
[somber music playing]
But when I look back,
I just needed my mother.
Well, look at it this way.
You finally have her back,
and things are good with Bárbara.
Yeah, but also, you know
that I still don't trust Bárbara fully.
Even if she did pull off a favor.
-You don't?
-Well, she took the presidency.
That took a great weight off my shoulders,
only to betray me with the board.
That's why I'm going to wait
for Bárbara to save Medusa,
and then Danger can catch the killer,
and then I'll go in for what's mine.
All I have to do is wait
for Bárbara to resolve the debts,
the problems,
the whole shitshow at Medusa,
and then I'll come in.
But your sister promised to resign
once everything was sorted at Medusa.
I don't believe a word she says.
How could you?
She doesn't know
that I can play dirty too.
How about a jacuzzi?
[sensual music playing]
-[Cristian] Let me get it ready.
-[chuckles]
Don't make it too hot!
[both chuckle]
[music turns tense]
I own this guy now.
Let's take the next step.
[music fades]
[car door shuts]
-Hey, Gunter.
-Thank you very much for the transfer.
-I wanted to--
-[gunshot]
[people shouting]
Take cover!
Get down!
[tense music playing]
-[car horn honks]
-[tires screech]
-[gunshots]
-That bastard.
Go after that car!
[ringing tone]
It's Danger. We've got a situation here.
There's been an attack at the Shark Fin.
The suspect is in a blue car
and is on the go.
I request reinforcements
and an ambulance now! It's urgent!
Come on! Get out of here!
[tense music swells]
[music fades]
Bro, look.
I've got the images of the parking lot
security camera caught here.
[Danger] That motherfucker's wearing
that mask again!
[gunshots from video]
And Gunter didn't even get
to tell me anything.
He was shot before he got it out.
And because he was so paranoid,
I doubt anybody knows
where he's stashed the evidence.
Now more than ever,
we need to get that evidence
and find out what's happening
with the Gamboa case
and iron that shit out.
And don't say
anything about this to Bárbara.
[tense music playing]
In the meantime, investigate
all of the cameras you find in the city.
Follow that car and see where it takes us.
Find that guy's whereabouts.
-Let me know if you find anything.
-All right.
[tense music fades]
-[eerie music playing]
-[sinister laughters]
[jungle animal calls]
[eerie music continues to play]
[shouting] Stupid bitch!
[shout fades]
[door creaks open]
Hey, it's time.
[melodic music playing]
Thank you for being here.
I'm not going anywhere.
[gavel bangs]
[Damián] What you have there
in your hands, Your Honor,
are the last quarter's balance sheets
for the conglomerate
that I had led for 26 years.
Today, I too have to acknowledge
that those figures
are the clear result
of the negligent management
of my children,
who are all present here today.
These kids are throwing hard work away,
and not just throwing away my own work,
but the hard work
of hundreds of local families,
who are depending on this company.
Your Honor, I would like to refer
to a specific clause.
The one indicating that should the figures
reach the percentages that they have,
the CEO, who has historically demonstrated
the greatest stability
in their leadership,
may be automatically reelected.
And that would be me, Your Honor.
That is all. Thank you very much.
[dramatic music playing]
Mr. Hidalgo makes
a rather melodramatic point,
but for those of us who know
how a business conglomerate operates,
it is perfectly normal.
The financial adversity will pass.
What cannot be dismissed
is the board's decision
to declare Mr. Hidalgo
persona non grata in the company.
[Cepeda] I'll hand these out.
These are the official declarations
from the president of the shareholders,
the head of the union,
and last but not least,
Medusa's strategic ally in Asia.
These three are all in agreement
that Damián Hidalgo returning to Medusa
would only jeopardize their interests.
The Asian partner has also stated
that a decision has already been made
to end the pact they have with Medusa
if Mr. Hidalgo resumes the presidency.
All of us agreed,
and we voted that Mr. Hidalgo
should not return to Medusa
since his presence jeopardizes
an alliance that would harm
the conglomerate's economic stability.
You made that rule yourself,
but you seem to have forgotten about it.
This raises further concerns,
as someone who is lacking
their full mental capacity
should not continue
to be in charge of an empire
that many families depend on
for their livelihood.
-Thank you. That's all.
-[Damián] We'll object to it all.
They won't believe her.
[music turns suspenseful]
[gavel bangs]
[reporter] Mr. Hidalgo,
what do you have to say to the court?
Will you lose your personal
assets due to the indemnity?
How do you feel about losing the company
you worked hard to create?
[reporter 2] Time to step back?
How does it feel to be cut off
from the empire you built?
[music intensifies]
[newsreader] Medusa, headed by Bárbara Hidalgo,
has won the case against Damián Hidalgo,
her father and founder of the company.
In the end, Damián Hidalgo
will have to pay millions in compensation
for the damages caused
all to the same company he created.
Cepeda, thanks.
-Congratulations.
-It went very well.
-Bravo. You beat Dad, congrats.
-You're a champion!
You can't speak to the press
or talk to anyone.
I'm gonna manage every word
and report published by the media
in which the conglomerate is the owner
or majority shareholder.
It's very delicate.
You need to be careful.
We could lose credibility.
We'd gain power, Cristian.
-You're overstepping a bit.
-I'm being a leader. That's all.
We know how Dad's mind works
and that he's capable.
He'll hit back at us, and he won't stop.
As soon as I turn the ship around,
I'll give it back to you,
so you do what you want.
-Don't count on me for that.
-Mm?
I'm telling you, Bárbara.
You're the only one who can manage
all of that, so think carefully.
[Cristian] Am I invisible, or what?
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades]
[door buzzes]
[Bárbara] Elu!
Have you heard?
-Uh-huh!
-We won.
[Eluney chuckles]
I did, yeah!
-I just can't believe it.
-And how does it feel to be free?
-Excuse me?
-Your freedom.
-You told me you were going to resign.
-No, I can't go right now.
That's impossible. Look…
Look at the shares,
our figures, all the sales, just look!
Absolutely incredible.
I think I wanna send my dad
a nice little thank-you present!
I haven't won this war yet.
When I have, I'll resign for you.
Even you know that's a lie.
I knew this would happen.
Please, Elu.
You know,
I don't want to see you ever again.
[dramatic sting]
GUARAHÍ IS A THREA
This was a gateway drug to addiction.
My only son died of an overdose.
[somber music playing]
And that's why I'm denouncing Eternals.
My son's dead 'cause of you.
[Esteban] Oof!
We've got an absolute godsend.
This is seriously a perfect opportunity
to fuck with Bárbara.
[Viviana] Mm.
Esteban, that lady is just saying
that it was other drugs
that killed her son.
He died because of Eternals, my dear.
Eternals was the gateway drug
to other drugs that are worse.
-I fucking love that, man.
-All right.
I'm gonna suggest to Adela
that we launch Benefiscience now.
-It's happening.
-[Esteban] Let's get to work.
Sure, but first,
why don't we play some golf? Nine holes?
Yeah, sure.
I always think better on the green.
I'll get you in.
You're not a member anymore, right?
[somber music continues to play]
NIRCA HINESTROZA ACCUSES ETERNALS:
GUARAHÍ IS A THREA
[somber music fades]
All right, cheers, bro.
Cheers, man, to, uh…
Cheers, man.
[Spanish song playing in the bar]
-Yeah.
-So what's up, bro?
Why do you look so down, man?
What's wrong with you today?
What's wrong with me?
Everything's so messed up right now.
I just feel completely
out of place here, man.
Mm. [laughs]
Nah, relax, you're all good, man.
That's life, you know?
You always taught me
that I should be looking at my life
like the glass is half-full,
not half-empty.
Look, I'm going to tell you
something real quick.
You're one of the best things
to ever happen to me.
Don't you even think
about dying before I do.
Don't even think about it.
-No, I won't do that to you.
-Cheers, man.
Cheers. Same for you.
You know we're a team
through thick and thin.
Right?
It's getting late.
Tilita's gonna wonder where you are.
You better get your ass home.
-Let me pour you one more.
-All right, all right.
My girl, she's making some dinner
for us tonight, and I thought,
why don't you come eat
and watch the game with me?
What game? No fucking way!
No, just let me be right now.
Hey, come on, really!
How is that not clear to you?
What's the name of this bar?
"I'll wait for you here."
I'm not going anywhere, man.
Okay, okay, okay.
Don't go driving, okay, bro?
Don't worry. I won't leave this table.
[Porras grunting]
-Watch it, or I'll have to drive you.
-No, no, man. I'm fine.
Take it easy for me, bro.
Hey, and make sure you pay
the lady's up front.
I didn't bring cash.
I'll pay you tomorrow.
Don't pull that face, man.
[Spanish song continues to play]
[music turns menacing]
-[electronic buzzing]
-[Danger grunts]
[grunts faintly]
Hey, you motherfucker!
[grunts in pain]
[music turns eerie]
[labored breathing]
[coughing]
You gonna torture me
before you kill me, motherfucker?
[distorted voice] If I wanted to,
I'd have done it a long time ago.
[grunting]
[panting]
[object rattling]
What are you going to do?
Tell me, you motherfucker.
Let me go, you bastard!
Let me go. Fuck you, man. Let me go!
-Motherfucker.
-Shut up and pay attention.
What are you doing?
[distorted voice] This poor, innocent guy
has nothing to do with any of this.
But he's going to die.
Because you couldn't get Bárbara
out of the company.
And the board
won't be able to ignore that.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
[distorted voice] Enjoy it.
[voice heard through the phone]
-[gun cocks]
-[distorted voice] Execute.
-[gun shot]
-[people shouting]
[yelling]
[music turns tense]
[Danger panting]
