Women in Blue (2024) s02e08 Episode Script

[crickets chirping]
[vehicle approaching]
[engine stops]
Are you sure it's here?
It's here.
[breathes heavily]
[Gerardo sighs]
Has to be them.
[radio static]
[Commander Herrera] Son.
Yeah, Dad?
[Commander Herrera] Let Cadenas go.
No. Gotta make sure you're released.
Let him go. And keep your distance.
That's an order.
Listen to him.
Gera, listen to him.
Copy that, Commander.
Get out.
[Gregorio grunts]
[panting]
- [handcuffs unlock]
- [groans]
[tense music playing]
This isn't the end, motherfucker.
At least we agree on that, detective.
Oh, and by the way,
you should both be proud of your father.
Guys like him
give people in the world hope.
Get out of here.
Be ready to grab him and get to the car.
Gera.
Daddy?
Hey, Dad!
I'm coming!
Dad!
- [car tires screech]
- Oh, my God. Daddy!
Are you okay? Dad? What's wrong?
Gera. He was injected.
Get an ambulance. Now. An ambulance!
Dad?
He's not breathing. He's not breathing!
Dad? Dad, come on.
WOMEN IN BLUE
["No Soy Tuya", Ximena Sariñana]
[sighs]
Just go without me.
Val, listen to me.
Gabina needs us now.
So we have to go.
[marching music playing]
[Emilio] Aldo Herrera was born in 1900
in Teziutlán, Puebla.
At the age of 14,
he joined the Constitutional forces,
along with several other boys.
Including one Manuel Ávila Camacho.
[sobbing]
[Emilio] Years later, he decided
to serve this city from a different front.
As part of the esteemed
Federal District Police.
Last night, his family lost a patriarch.
This country lost a patriot.
And I… I have lost a very dear friend.
So, rest in peace, Commander Aldo Herrera.
[mourner] Rest in peace.
[marching music resumes]
HONOR AND TRUS
[sobbing]
[mourner] He was such a great friend.
[Gabina] Thank you.
[Gabriel sighs]
I'm sorry that everything
turned out this way.
I'm sorry too.
[chuckles]
I don't even know why I don't…
I don't wanna feel this way.
Please forgive me.
No need to apologize.
Sadness is one of
the most common emotions to feel
during the grieving process.
I'm sorry I didn't defend you.
Forgive me for yelling at you that day.
I don't know what happened to me.
[sighs] Why? Why can't I be normal?
[sighs]
My dad just died,
and instead of feeling sad, I feel…
like I'm relieved.
What kind of son feels this way
when his father passes?
[sentimental music playing]
If you want, I can give you a hug.
It could be helpful.
I miss you.
Yes, I miss you too.
- I'm so sorry.
- Thanks, sir.
Let's offer our condolences to Gabina.
- I can't. You go.
- Val.
What don't you get about the part
where Gabina put a gun to my head?
[sighs]
Just know that we're all here for you,
Gabina. And your family.
I hope you know that now and always.
Whatever you need.
[music ends]
[sighs deeply]
[inhales deeply]
[exhales deeply]
Do you remember what you said
when you brought me to my first protest?
That we march to remind those in power
we're still awake.
- The Executioner killed him, right?
- Why do you say that?
There must be a confession.
If the police hide it,
the truth will never come out.
We need you to find that confession.
And what will that accomplish, Lucas?
They have to pay
for what they did to the country.
For what they did to the country?
Or for what they did to you?
You're not sleeping at all, are you?
And you wake up sweating,
unable to catch your breath.
As if a large weight
were pressing on your stomach.
That feeling won't ever stop
unless you get help.
It will only stop
if you find that confession.
[dramatic music playing]
[music ends]
[president] Cadenas got away.
Herrera is dead.
Please tell me you at least
destroyed his confession.
Well, we can't be certain
there even was a confession.
"Can't be certain"?
"Can't be certain"? "Can't be certain"?
Uh, no, uh, but if we were able
to find a confession,
they couldn't even broadcast it
because we control the media.
What do you think?
I think…
that the police can't handle this
on their own.
Emilio, this is Cobra.
[tense music playing]
Just… That's it?
- Cobra?
- Yes.
Just Cobra.
Cobra deals with sensitive issues.
He and his team will be operating
from the police station
until we can find Cadenas.
You'll do whatever is necessary
to allow them to do their job.
Perfect. Nothing more to say.
With the many casualties we've had,
the help of a trusted agent
is certainly welcome, right?
Get out now.
[Gabina] Thank you.
[Gerardo] How's Mom doing?
[Gabina] She's bad.
I should be in there with you right now.
No, Gabina.
If I told them
you had nothing to do with it,
it's because you don't deserve to be here.
I'm the one who got Goyo out.
I knew what I was getting myself into.
And I have to deal with the consequences.
There's no other way.
You have to catch
that motherfucker, Gabina.
Not for Lozano.
Not for our father.
'Cause it's the right thing to do.
We're going to catch him.
Gabina.
[sighs]
Sorry.
This is for you.
Who sent this?
I don't know.
They just told me
to deliver it right away.
Gabina. Why are you here?
Wouldn't you rather be with your mom?
This was sent to me.
[ominous music playing]
It's the confession.
Why would he send you that?
- Because he's trying to test her.
- He's trying to test all four of us.
He's trying to see if we're corrupt.
We have to give this to Lucas.
He'll know how to make sure
that this information gets out.
And collaborate with Goyo?
Releasing evidence to the public
is against the law.
- We could go to jail.
- Yeah, so what?
Our protocol obligates us
to turn it over to our superiors
or directly to the Prosecutor's Office.
To our superiors? Do you know what
they'll do with it? They'll just burn it.
María, we have a responsibility
to reveal the truth.
Gabina.
What do you think?
Maybe the tape
doesn't have anything on it.
- Maybe Goyo's playing another game.
- [María] That's a good point.
We can ask Chela to get us a projector,
and if there's nothing on the tape,
there's nothing we can do.
[Valentina]
And what if it's the confession?
Mmm… I don't know. I don't know.
Gabina, maybe
it's not only up to you to decide.
- Valentina.
- [Valentina] I mean it.
Valentina is right.
Gabina's judgment is compromised
by her emotional proximity to the case.
[María] All right, enough.
Let's have Gabina watch the tape,
and then we'll decide.
Together. All right?
Women in Blue. [clears throat]
Escobedo wants to talk
with everyone upstairs.
[Emilio] I'd like to introduce
Commander Cobra
from the Department of Federal Security.
By direct order
of the President of the Republic,
the leader of the investigation
will be Commander Cobra.
From now on,
you'll be taking orders from him.
Commander.
Officers, good morning.
We're here to restore order.
And to get this asshole
before he can harm another police officer.
So what I want
is everyone at their stations.
I'll be coming to talk to each one of you
to grasp what you do
and understand how you're useful to me.
And there is one thing
that I want to make very clear.
No one…
will move…
without my authorization.
No one.
That's it.
You heard him.
Get to work. Come on, this isn't a picnic.
Ha! Come on.
- [María] Ladies.
- They're not gonna let us do anything.
[softly] To the basement. Right now.
[intense music playing]
Come on.
[panting]
We need to hide everything.
The boards, case files, archives.
Everything related to The Executioner.
Goyo, Arizmendi,
everything we've been investigating.
If they see all this, they'll seize it
and stop our investigation.
[Gabina] Here.
So, the famous Women in Blue
all work here.
[María] Yes, sir.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Lieutenant de la Torre.
This is Officers Camacho,
Herrera and Cruz.
Pleasure.
- Herrera.
- Sir.
Very sorry about your father.
He was a great man.
And a fine soldier.
Thank you, sir.
What is it that you do here?
Well, when we're not in the park
guiding all the tourists…
Thank you, miss. I was asking her.
When we're not doing
that kind of thing, we file.
Old cases, crime reports,
witness statements.
We dust off files that are long forgotten.
We organize them.
We participate in events
with the First Lady,
commercials, and media events, too.
And if an officer
ever happens to need anything,
we personally facilitate the process.
We also have radios.
And coin purses,
in case there's an emergency.
But, above all else,
we're all here to serve you.
Anything else?
We prepare excellent coffee.
Make sure that there's always
a pot of hot coffee.
Sure.
[Gabina whispers] Thanks.
[sighs]
Now that we can fly under his radar,
we need to figure out how to find Goyo.
And Macaria.
- Take a close look at that.
- Yes, sir.
And, uh, if you need anything,
you can find me in my office.
I'll be using your office, and I'll also
use Commander Herrera's office.
Uh, I understand that you need privacy
in order to work, right?
I have absolutely no problem
with sharing my office with you.
I do have a problem with that.
You may take a seat right over there.
I hear it belonged to Detective Lozano.
Gentlemen.
If Macaria reached out to Gerardo
to release Goyo,
it's because she knew your father's
precise whereabouts beforehand, that's it.
So, then, she must be his accomplice.
That's a possibility.
Yes, it's a possibility, but Goyo could
have told her everything he was planning
and still kept her under threat.
- Hmm.
- [Ángeles] It's possible.
We have to create
her psychological profile.
Be very, very careful. It's hot.
- You don't wanna burn your mouth.
- Thank you.
[Ángeles] We need to keep up appearances,
so we don't raise any suspicions.
First, we need to check
administrative gaps
and any criminal background
she might have.
Nothing, Gabina.
That woman hasn't even killed a fly.
[Ángeles] With the notary
and the Treasury Department,
we can find loans, debts and mortgages.
Mrs. Cadenas inherited
the home she lives in 31 years ago,
along with a significant sum of money.
And she also inherited a factory as well,
although it closed a few years later.
Nothing else is registered in her name.
There's not enough public information
for us to create a psychological profile.
Public. Although…
what if we had private information?
This is what they seized
from Macaria's house.
She said that they had written
hundreds and hundreds of letters
while Gregorio was behind bars.
Macaria started writing to Goyo
back in 1940.
Coinciding with the death of her parents.
[María] "Mr. Cadenas,
I saw your picture in the newspaper today.
'The Strangler,'
that's what they called you.
They say you killed four women.
I don't think it's true
what they're saying."
"January 15th, 1943.
Although the entire country
has turned its back,
I am here right now
praying for your soul."
"My precious husband.
I curse the police
who are keeping you apart from me.
I can't stop thinking about what might
have been if they hadn't caught you."
[Valentina] "March 1964.
Those women deserved what you did to them.
You would be free if I helped you do it.
What would they say about me
if they heard this?"
"June 25th, 1966.
Last night, I had the strangest dream
after we were together."
"I dreamed about God.
He told me
he had a wonderful plan for us."
Macaria.
[sighs]
Losing her parents left a void inside her
that she tried to fill
with a man with the power to inflict death
instead of being death's victim.
She doesn't just know
what her husband did.
She's behind it.
And that implies she's been playing
with us from the very beginning.
She acted like Goyo abandoned her.
Then set up the meeting in Chapultepec.
Even the arrest.
- Everything was planned out.
- But why?
Just to prove to the police
that they're the ones in control.
This arrogance indicates
they have no intention of stopping.
They're searching for their next victim,
if they haven't found one already.
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
Gabina.
[sniffles] Hmm.
Have you seen the tape?
No.
I can watch it with you if you want.
I'd rather watch it alone.
When?
I don't know, Valentina.
- I just need time.
- Yeah, I know.
I just think it's better
if you get it done sooner than later.
Better for who?
For the police and the people
who suffered because of him.
And for you.
You have to face the truth.
Don't be a hypocrite.
What are you trying to say?
I feel like you know
exactly what I'm saying.
It's really easy to judge others
from the outside
when you're the first person
to run from everything.
You know I'm trying to work on that.
I'm even talking to someone
who should be able to help.
Who do you think you're fooling?
I see you every day,
and I can tell exactly what you're doing
to fix your issues.
Nothing!
- I don't know you.
- You don't even know yourself, Val.
You pointed a gun at me, Gabina.
He's my father, Valentina!
My father!
And I already know he murdered people.
I know that!
So, why do you want me to watch the tape?
[Gabina sobs]
I know you don't understand.
But that wasn't all my father was,
Valentina.
I know that wasn't all he was.
[breathes heavily]
[thunder rumbling, heavy rain falling]
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Gregorio] So, what are you planning
to do with the gift I sent?
Mr. Cadenas.
I asked you a question.
What are you planning to do
with the gift I sent? Tell me.
It's not my call.
What, then?
Are you going to destroy the tape, María?
That's exactly what they would do.
You shouldn't believe
that you're any better.
But not worse either. Not worse.
Are you seriously trying to convince me
that the world would be a better place
if those four cops were still alive?
[thunder rumbling]
We've now got until 10:00 p.m.
to decide what to do with the tape.
Or what?
María?
Or he'll be coming for one of us.
[Octavio] Guardado.
How have you been? Any news to report?
That asshole spent 34 whole years
locked up in jail.
How do you find someone like that?
So, what, he's like a ghost?
Yeah, nothing.
He has no family,
he's got no friends either, and no vices.
Not even one place that he frequents.
He has nothing.
By the way, that's too bad
about Filiberto Guerra, eh?
- What do you mean, too bad?
- Yeah.
He was a fucking psychopath.
No, you're wrong about that.
I've known plenty of cops
who are completely insane.
Filiberto wasn't actually crazy at all.
He had a very cold mind.
He was a good soldier.
Were you aware he left a son?
[Octavio] Martín Guerra.
He was locked up two years ago
for robbing a pharmacy.
The manager tried to stop him,
and the kid shot him.
He was sentenced to 30 years.
- And guess where that was?
- In Lecumberri?
Exactly.
Martín.
Lecumberri.
Filiberto's diary.
Every two weeks,
Filiberto had a scheduled visit
with an inmate named Martín.
And the last meeting
was the day before he died.
Do you feel like there's a connection
between Goyo and Filiberto's son?
- [Ángeles] It's possible.
- We have to speak to him.
They're keeping a very close eye on us.
I just assigned you
to a shift in the park,
so you guys really shouldn't be here.
I'm staying.
I want to review
all of the existing evidence again.
I'll stay with Ángeles.
I'll go with María.
[Gabina] What exactly are we doing?
[Ángeles] The human brain
doesn't process everything it sees.
It concentrates on things
associated with what it's seeking.
NARCISO
MARXIST BRIGADE
Like a filter.
So, unless you're looking
for something specific,
the truth could be staring right at you
and you wouldn't even perceive it at all.
To the mind,
it's as though it's invisible.
So, how do you get the mind
to see something if it's invisible?
[Ángeles] You just have to change
the search parameter.
And suddenly what never existed before
appears.
[Gabina] The eyes can only see what
the mind is truly ready to understand.
JUNE 23, 1971: 03:00 MINUTES
JUNE 20, 1971: 03:00 MINUTES
JUNE 17, 1971: 02:37 MINUTES
Gabina.
I found something strange.
Maybe it's nothing, but every confession
has an exact duration of three minutes.
That corresponds to the standard size
of Portapak tape.
All… except Filiberto Guerra.
That one runs
for two minutes and 37 seconds.
According to Sofia's fingerprint report,
that tape was cut.
But why would he cut it short?
Maybe because
Filiberto Guerra said something
Goyo didn't want us to know about.
Martín. My name is María.
And this is Valentina.
[Martín] What do you want?
[María] We're here to ask you
some questions about your dad.
[Martín] What for?
You can't even leave the dead in peace?
No, 'cause we think maybe
someone was manipulating him.
And we know that he spoke to you
the day before he was murdered.
And we also know that your father
was anxious and troubled,
so he started a fight.
He didn't start anything.
He was completely out of his mind.
Why would you say that?
[Martín] 'Cause he was a cop. Why else?
They fucked his life up.
[Ángeles] There's something
we're not seeing. There are four victims.
Officer Filiberto Guerra.
Lieutenant Rómulo Quintanilla.
Detective Plutarco Lozano.
We just need to watch
Commander Aldo Herrera's tape.
[Gabina] It's escalating.
[Ángeles] What?
It's escalating. Goyo's victims.
The next one should be someone
with a higher rank.
There's only one person from the station
who has a higher rank than your father.
[Martín] What else do you want me to say?
We just need to know
what he said to you that day.
Nothing. Just a bunch of bullshit.
Well, it may seem like that.
But it might also help us
to understand why he was killed.
They called me again to do something huge.
They want me to take out some communists.
The same group that I was spying on.
I already killed two of them.
In exchange, I requested your freedom,
and they accepted.
Chief Escobedo promised
to get you out of here.
[groans]
Are you sure he told you that?
It was the Chief of Police?
[jazz music playing]
It's not easy. No.
Because that's precisely
the problem these days.
The fucking envy in this country.
That's where all the problems lie.
Absolutely anyone can follow orders.
But a great idea, a truly great idea,
not everyone has those.
No.
'Cause, otherwise,
everyone would be leaders,
and that would fuck everything up.
Another one, Terrence.
And another one for the lady.
Mmm. Mmm?
[tense music playing]
I'm talking too much, right?
That's normal.
You have a lot of pressure
on your shoulders.
So, tell me more.
- Cheers.
- [glasses clink]
[María] Lieutenant de la Torre speaking.
I'm calling from the police station.
We're looking for Chief Escobedo.
It's urgent.
[caller] He should be there
at the station.
He left earlier to go over there
and hasn't come home.
Uh, do you know of a location he
frequently goes to when he's not working?
Or there's a restaurant he likes?
I have no idea.
Maybe he has some receipts.
Could you please do us a favor and look?
No, I always dump them.
- Is there a box of matches?
- Oh, he's got a ton of those.
There are several
from a place called Cochon d'Or.
I guess that if the President assigned
that so-called Cobra,
there must be a reason, right?
[jazz music playing]
[chuckling]
[sighs]
The President, yeah.
Do you even know how he rose to the top?
It was me who got him there.
It wasn't easy to clean up his image.
After…
[grunts]
- After you know what.
- Hmm.
[phone rings]
Well, you are just fascinating.
You know that?
- Mmm.
- [grunts]
There, there, Chief. Just calm down, now.
- Sir.
- What?
You have a phone call. It's the station.
They shouldn't be bothering the chief now,
don't you think?
[María] Chief Escobedo?
Chief Escobedo, please respond.
It's urgent.
We need to talk to you. If any…
- [line disconnects]
- He hung up.
[Valentina] Call him again.
You ready?
7-2-4-1-3.
- [phone beeps]
- [sighs] No, it's busy.
Well, at least we know where he is now.
[claps]
[Octavio] It's right here.
If we find Escobedo, we can find Goyo too.
You go inside. We'll cover the entrance.
Come on.
Captain Romandía.
We're looking for Chief Emilio Escobedo.
- He left about five minutes ago.
- Alone?
- Why do you wanna know?
- Don't fuck around!
- Did he leave here with someone?
- He was with a woman.
[María] With her?
Yes, that's her.
[María] Thank you.
They were seen leaving together
five minutes ago.
- We have to tell Cobra.
- No, no, wait. You know how they are.
Then how are we gonna find the chief?
Well, we know that Goyo
always leaves his victims
at the place where they committed
their worst crime.
So, where would Escobedo
have committed his worst crime?
Wait. Goyo has to get a confession first
to know exactly where to leave the body.
That means he has to record the confession
somewhere else entirely.
Yeah, but where?
A place he can control.
A place where no one could ever step in
and where he has access always.
[Ángeles] I know where.
In addition to her house,
Macaria inherited a factory
that she closed
shortly after she received it.
Then he has to be there.
[gasps]
[gasping]
I understand now why you wanted me
to stay away
from the investigation, Chief.
What are you doing, fucker?
Where did you bring me?
You didn't lack faith in me.
On the contrary.
It's that you really actually believed
I could catch Filiberto Guerra.
That's why you rejected me.
I mean, do you know how flattered
I'm feeling now that I know that?
If you don't let me out of here,
you'll face something far worse
than being sent to jail.
And you. You fucking lying whore.
[Gregorio] It wasn't so hard
to find Filiberto.
The way he chose his victims,
it was, uh, well, a little clumsy, really.
They were the same men
he had been investigating and watching
for years and years.
So, then I got my hands
on this incredible camera,
all thanks to an old cellmate.
I was going to send it to you, hoping
you would notice what I'm capable of.
You can imagine the major plot twist
when Filiberto said that you ordered him
to assassinate all those kids.
- That's a damn lie, you crazy asshole!
- No, no, no.
Sodium pentothal eliminates
that pesky variable.
You'll soon notice it,
when it's time for your confession.
I gave you your freedom, Goyo.
[gasps]
I got you out of jail.
Doesn't that count for anything?
All right, listen. Listen.
Come on, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
Goyo, Goyo.
[panting]
Come on. Why don't we talk? Let's…
If you just let me go,
no one will ever follow you.
I'm going to erase your record.
[panting]
You're clean and free.
Completely.
But we are already free.
You are the ones who are slaves.
Well said.
[Octavio] Díaz, you'll go to the back.
We'll cover this entrance.
[Díaz] Let's go.
[Octavio] Slow down. Not so fast.
Come on.
How many milliliters, sweetheart?
He's about 220 pounds, so, 20.
No. No.
- Uh! Fuck!
- [Emilio pants]
Uh, there are more light bulbs in the car.
Listen. Goyo, listen to me. Listen to me.
All of this can be fixed. [chuckles]
Listen, my friend. [panting]
I will give you names.
Names of police who are corrupt.
Way more corrupt than I am.
I can tell you where to find them.
So you can kill them instead.
That's what you want, right?
I'm listening, Commander.
[Octavio] Freeze! Nobody move!
[Emilio] This animal wanted to kill me.
He wanted to kill me!
- Cover me.
- Yeah.
Gregorio Cadenas, you're under arrest.
On your fucking knees.
Where's Macaria?
- I told you, we broke up.
- [Emilio] No.
That… That's… That's not true.
She was heading to her car.
Go and get her! Arrest her! It's an order!
[Octavio] Free Escobedo.
Be careful in case she comes back.
- Gabina, come with me.
- Yes, sir.
[Octavio] Let's go.
- María.
- [Emilio grunting]
Díaz. Díaz, do you copy? Over.
Díaz, do you copy?
Now who's the one who's tied up, asshole?
- María.
- [Emilio] I'm talking to you.
María.
[Díaz] I'm over here!
- Díaz!
- Díaz!
- Díaz.
- Are you okay?
- No.
- [Gabina] What happened?
I didn't see her coming.
She skipped. [groans]
- We've got an officer wounded.
- [Octavio] Apply pressure.
I repeat, we have an officer down
at Xochicalco 107.
This is Officer Herrera.
- Where did she go?
- She went out that door.
- And Ángeles?
- I don't know.
[Octavio] Don't move!
Don't move.
- Ángeles.
- Captain.
Are you all right?
My arms are getting pretty sore.
María. I've got something
to tell you, María.
Goyo.
Don't you want to know
what the chief was going to confess?
- It turns out, he was behind…
- [Valentina] No!
[María] Chief Escobedo.
Put the gun down.
Right now!
He wanted to kill me.
["Is it Better to Live or to Die",
Mary Saxton]
[Octavio] Okay, understood.
I'll look into it.
Attention all units.
This is Officer Ángeles Cruz.
We have found Chief Escobedo alive.
Macaria Cadenas has been arrested.
Goyo Cadenas has been shot. Over and out.
Captain, we can't just let Escobedo
get away with it.
I will tell you something,
but you need to listen carefully.
For your security, we cannot trust anyone.
But I can guarantee
that we'll take action on this.
[music continues]
[police siren wails]
[music ends]
[sniffs]
Mmm… What's all this?
I wanted to say goodbye.
It's time for me to move back home.
Gabina, no, my reaction was wrong.
It's just that… I think what you did
was wrong as well. [chuckles]
I probably would have made
the same choice you did.
Or even worse.
- Really? How much worse? [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
- Forget it.
- Okay.
The point is, I can't imagine
what you're going through.
But I'm here for whatever you need.
And we're friends.
You don't need to go anywhere.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
But it's still time for me
to go back home.
And you're sure?
I'm only sure about one thing.
That nothing is more important
than family.
- I love you.
- I love you.
- Okay, get out of here. Go on.
- [chuckles]
[sighs]
Good morning, Octavio.
Morning, María.
- You okay?
- Yes. Yes.
I was waiting for you because…
I want to apologize.
Really?
[stammers]
You don't need to apologize to me.
Of course I do, Octavio.
You are one of the best people
I've ever known.
And you really didn't deserve to be hurt.
You're brave,
you're so kind…
and honest.
And you will make whoever is at your side
a very lucky woman.
But I'm not that woman.
I just couldn't stand the idea
of having to lose you again as a friend.
And I really wanna thank you because…
[sighs] …you awakened a certainty in me
that I'm also worthy of that.
We both deserve that.
Just not with each other.
What do you want me to say?
That you forgive me, I guess?
I forgive you.
[Guardado] Romandía, de la Torre,
the commander just asked for you guys.
[sighs]
Agent Guardado says
you found important information…
about Emilio Escobedo?
- Hmm?
- Yes. Yes, sir.
Let's see.
Emilio Escobedo. The man
who finally put down The Executioner.
You solved one problem, Emilio.
Mmm, mmm.
What a shame that it was a problem
you yourself created.
It was impossible to know
that Cadenas would become an animal.
I'm talking about Filiberto Guerra.
[Emilio] I-I don't understand.
[president]
What were you thinking, Emilio?
Did you really believe you could somehow
create your very own Undresser,
just to catch him later on,
and then be the crown hero of the city?
I'm sorry, sir, but…
No, one of my closest agents
delivered this information
from a very reliable source.
With all due respect,
you know me, Mr. President.
Jesus. Just have some balls
and tell me the truth for once!
I just wanted to change the image
of the police department.
By killing innocent students?
- What are you, some kind of idiot?
- No, no.
I never told Filiberto to murder students.
I just asked that he use kids that…
that no one would ever miss.
Thanks to you creating
your version of The Undresser,
Goyo created The Executioner.
And now four of our best officers
are dead!
I'm sorry, Mr. President.
Uh, how do you… How can I fix this?
I'll do anything you want. I can…
Stop!
Sit down right now.
You will be the one to change
the department's image.
All right. Just tell me how.
The DA will accuse you
of unleashing not only one,
but two vile beasts against the people.
You're going to jail for three years.
Nothing serious.
That's how we wrap the case up.
[Emilio grunts]
Luis.
Emilio.
Will you serve your country or not?
I would do anything for Mexico,
Mr. President.
[slaps back]
[footsteps depart]
[inhales sharply]
[Octavio] Be very careful out there,
ladies. Don't get too confident.
Use your radios if anything happens.
- Understand?
- [officers] Yes, sir.
Lieutenant.
[María] Your shifts are already posted.
Have an excellent day.
María.
What's wrong?
[sighs] I couldn't watch it.
Well, don't worry. Goyo's dead now.
I don't want to be the kind of officer
who hides the truth.
I want to reveal it.
Turns out Valentina was right.
That kind of decision isn't up to me.
You're my lieutenant,
and I know you'll do the right thing.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
I'm a Woman in Blue.
["The First Time", Fanny]
You can count on me.
- Lieutenant.
- Officer.
Hi, María.
Hello, Lucas.
- Thanks for coming.
- What do you need?
This is the confession
of Commander Aldo Herrera.
I'll give it to you on one condition.
Non-negotiable.
I know coming here wasn't easy.
Sometimes…
What in the hell are we doing here, Val?
[chuckles]
I took you to your very first protest,
and I don't regret that.
I just want to…
show you someplace different.
So, who wants to go first?
Valentina.
[Tomasa] She looks just like Gerardo.
- A lot, right?
- Yes.
Soufflé. Sweet potato poblano.
Oh, boy. We're excited.
And you, sweetheart, would you like any?
Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
[María] I know
Ángeles has been helping you,
but if it would help you
to speak with your sister…
Mm-hmm.
I'm always here.
And I'll try not to judge you.
I said I'll try.
[chuckles]
Women in Blue.
It's time to do our rounds.
[music continues]
[Cobra] Women in Blue!
[music stops]
Commander.
Lieutenant de la Torre.
Officers Camacho, Herrera and Cruz.
I've got orders to take you with me.
Now.
[president] Women in Blue,
Commander Cobra and his men
have determined that Emilio Escobedo
was responsible for recruiting a murderer
to attack a group of young people.
I'm also aware that we have
this crucial information
in part thanks to your division.
Thank you.
You have done an invaluable service
for this great nation.
My dear.
You have all been a crucial part
in reforming this institution.
Do you realize that?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
All due respect, ma'am,
do you really think that this is
going to change anything?
Well, that's why
I brought you four down here.
I'd like to offer you something
much more than recognition.
Ask me for anything.
- Really? Anything?
- Oh, yes, anything.
- May we have a… a moment?
- Please. Of course.
[whispering indistinctly]
Are you ready?
- Go ahead.
- [Valentina clears throat]
Um…
Um…
- We would like three things.
- Gosh. Three things, you say.
Okay, what are they?
Well, first, we ask that Gerardo Herrera
be released from jail and reinstated.
Okay, done.
The second thing, transfer
Captain Octavio Romandía immediately
to the detective department.
Romandía?
Perfect.
And what is your third and final request?
Ángeles.
Go.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
[Gerardo] Romandía.
Come on. We've got a new case.
Detective.
Detective.
["Ponte bajo el sol", Elia y Elizabeth]
- Morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, ladies.
- [all] Good morning.
What do we got?
It's a robbery at the Central Bank.
There's three suspects so far.
Gerardo needs a psychological profile
for each one.
[María] Hmm.
Well, let's get to it.
