Medusa (2025) s02e10 Episode Script

[mystic music playing]
[Bárbara] No!
No, No! [crying desperately]
[music turns melancholic]
Elu! Elu, look at me!
Elu, Elu, just look at me!
"THE PRIVILEGE OF A LIFETIME IS TO BECOME
WHO YOU REALLY ARE." CARL JUNG.
[music fades]
It wasn't on purpose. I know her.
She wouldn't poison herself.
She had no reason to.
-It was that sick bastard Brito. I know.
-Yes, my love.
-It's completely unfair!
-I know, my love. I know it is.
But right now,
let the investigation run its course.
I don't think she committed suicide.
-But we have to do the autopsy, and--
-[Quintero] Danger?
-I know she wouldn't.
-Yes.
-Danger Carmelo!
-[Danger] Major!
Wait here.
Major Quintero, how are you?
Danger Carmelo!
We're here to arrest you for embezzlement.
-What?
-[dramatic music plays]
You've gotta be kidding.
Why would I lie to you? [scoffs]
Handcuff him.
-But Major, I'm not--
-There must be a mistake.
It's procedure. You're under arrest.
What am I being accused of?
Embezzlement by misappropriation.
-Huh? Do you have to handcuff him?
-It's the procedure.
Relax. Don't worry about me.
It's a misunderstanding. Go back home.
-No.
-I promise I'll be back soon.
Relax. Don't worry, my love.
Go home. I'll be okay.
-[Quintero] Let's go.
-[Bárbara] No!
[cries desperately]
-[dramatic music intensifies]
-[door opens]
Shit! [keeps crying]
[door closes]
[Bárbara] Fuck!
[music fades]
Let's see
if that bitch finally understands
that she lost, now that she's alone.
You know what you have to do.
[tense music playing]
[Quintero] We received information
about the money you didn't give back.
That's a complete lie. Who told you that?
We raided your apartment
and found the missing money.
In my apartment? What are you saying?
Major, someone planted it there
to fuck me over.
I warned Giraldo about this.
There's nothing we can do
if you're incriminated.
Even if you're cleared
of all these accusations,
I'll tell you right now,
you are definitely off the force.
[tense music continues to play]
[prison guard] Name?
Danger Carmelo.
[prison guard] Fingerprints.
[prison guard] Identification?
[Danger] Ninety-four,
one hundred and eighty-five,
four, eight, seven, from Barranquilla.
-[camera shutter clicks]
-[prison guard] Pull your pants down.
Bend over.
[Danger sighs]
-[glove snaps]
-[Danger grunts]
[tense music continues to play]
[music fades]
I need you to realize
that Carmelo is the center of attention.
And I can't go out
and give false statements.
-This thing is just a set-up.
-Yes.
-In any case, giving statements 'cause--
-[door knocking]
Excuse me for a moment.
-[door opens]
-What is it, Alba?
Thank you.
Let me see what I can do.
All I can say
is that I trust him completely.
Then I'll make some calls,
and I'll be in touch with you.
-I really appreciate it.
-My pleasure.
[dramatic music plays and fades gradually]
[ringing tone]
Your daughter just came
to visit me in my office.
[Damián] What exactly did she ask you for?
To help her with the mess
her detective boyfriend got himself into.
Okay.
Thank you for the tip-off, Juan.
-Will you be, um, at the club tomorrow?
-Yes, of course, I'll see you there.
Still on for 5:00 in the morning.
We can talk a bit more about our thing.
Sure, sounds great.
And I just wanted to say
that you have my full support.
See ya.
[hang-up beep]
[upbeat intriguing music playing]
[moaning in pleasure]
[both moaning]
[music fades]
Goddammit, you're so delicious.
-[message notification]
-[cell phone vibrates]
Hey, no. What is it now?
Put that away, huh?
Come on, share the good news.
I wanna hear it.
Bárbara went to beg the governor
for help to get her cop out
of the messy shitshow he's in.
How did you find that out?
My contacts.
I have little spies everywhere.
More ammunition for us
to keep attacking the Hidalgos.
What's wrong? I don't see you celebrating.
Or are you worried about your ex
and what might happen to her?
You still on that?
You can be so damn annoying,
Adela, seriously.
I really don't want to fight.
If it wasn't true,
you wouldn't act like this.
You have no idea why I'm acting like this.
It's because of my daughter.
She's the one who's suffering.
No, let me tell you.
You love getting humiliated.
Wait, baby, no. Come on.
I don't feel anything
for her anymore. I swear.
-Don't be jealous. Don't do that.
-No, trust me. I'm not.
Jealous of who?
I pity you for what she put you through.
But you just can't help yourself, huh?
You are a pathetic loser.
[tense music playing]
[door shuts]
[music fades]
MEDUSA LABORATORIES
[Cristian] Have you heard all the shit
they're giving you on NTB?
Of course I have. It's obviously
Adela telling her journalist minions
exactly what to say.
Are you really surprised by that?
They said Danger was locked up.
Is that true?
They're trying to stop him from digging.
How are you doing with Eluney?
[melancholic music playing]
I sent you the latest sales reports.
I think we should just focus on that.
We need to go over the numbers,
so we can go into the meeting strong.
[Bárbara types]
-You got it?
-Mm-hmm.
[music fades]
[ominous music playing]
[cell phone beeps]
[ringing tone]
Go ahead, boss.
[distorted voice] Deal with that fucking
detective as we agreed.
I'm on it.
You'll be paid the same fee.
Copy.
-[gate buzzes]
-[cell door closes]
[cell phone beeps]
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades]
Tell it to me straight.
So how much did they actually pay you
for that job?
One hundred mil, dude.
[prisoner] Who hired you for it?
[Deivis] Some guy on the phone.
We did a fucking awesome job on that wall.
We just bashed away at it, tore it open,
and stuck the money inside.
Then we did a repair job,
and it was as good as new.
[prisoner] You were on that
with Cíclope's people?
No, man. Are you a dumbass or what?
This is a real big fish, dude.
I mean, as big as it gets.
[tense music playing]
-What about the guy? Is he here?
-Yeah, man. He's here already.
Find out what cell he's in.
And then we'll go say hi
to the authorities.
Okay, sounds good, my man.
[music fades]
[lawyer] I'll get you out of here,
but you need to trust me.
Yeah, but when is that?
I need to get out as soon as possible.
I need to figure out
who falsely accused me, had me arrested,
and put me in here.
Let's look at the cameras
after I went to Thailand with Bárbara.
Maybe we'll find someone
putting things in my house or her house.
You'll help, right?
The problem is that the press
is all over the case.
And the public is asking
for you to be made an example.
You can't be serious. Are you?
Why are they obsessed with me?
I'm going to tell you something,
but take it easy. It could affect you.
[Danger] Mm.
What I heard is that Bárbara went
and spoke to the governor.
Huh?
Supposedly to get you out of here
without going to trial.
No. Fuck!
I told her not to do anything.
She's so stubborn! Damn.
I can't believe she did that.
Another thing,
I'd like to arrange a visit with Porras.
He needs to talk to you about something.
He said that he can only tell you.
-[tense music plays]
-[Danger clicks tongue]
[metal cell rattles]
Make sure everything's ready
in the meeting room.
[cell phone rings, then beeps]
Hello?
Why did you talk to the governor
when I asked you not to say anything?
Look, I went to him
because I know the governor well.
He's been a family friend my whole life.
At the moment, your first and last name
are working against me.
I want you to understand that.
But I just wanted to help you.
You always do whatever the fuck you want.
Don't you? Why? You do it with everything!
With Maya, with Medusa, with the abortion,
and this too. It's enough!
You need to get rid
of your Hidalgo ego, fuck's sake.
If you think I'm so selfish,
then why should I stay with you? Huh?
Why are you with me? To save my poor life?
No, Danger, I don't need anybody
to save me. I'm capable of doing that!
You're the selfish one.
I was trying to get you out of there!
I can't believe how ungrateful you are.
You know what?
I'm telling you right now
that this is over.
It's obvious
you don't need me anymore, do you?
What?
Bárbara.
[melancholic Spanish song playing]
Shit. Motherfucker!
[grunts]
-[sobbing]
-[music fades]
[Diógenes] All set.
I have everything written down, okay?
Cross my heart, huh?
What do you think about this new jacket?
Looks good, right, Pops?
[scoffs] You look
like the Barranquilla sun.
Very good.
Diógenes, my boy, pay close attention.
They'll try to trick you.
You need to stay alert.
The worst are the women
who'll swallow you whole.
No, man, I got it.
Nobody's been able
to trip me up so far, have they?
Huh? I can defend myself. Pound it, Dad.
All right.
-Uncle.
-Yep.
Hey, wait for me up there.
Go up the stairs, and I'll catch up.
Keep an eye on that street rat.
You can't allow him
to make me look like a fool.
[dramatic music plays]
[music fades]
Hello! This is spectacular.
The family's together,
the missing one's returned.
Hey, family!
[Camilo] Hello.
-You can't say hello?
-Hey, Esperanza!
Good afternoon.
I couldn't miss the chance to meet you.
Welcome, everyone,
especially Diógenes Piña.
Hey, sis, not Piña. I'm an "X", "ex Piña."
Huh? Now I'm a Hidalgo.
I wanna say that it's an honor
to be part of this with you,
because being here is my birthright. Mm?
So if anyone's not down with that,
they can suck it up and talk to Dad.
-[laughs] No, I'm just kidding.
-[Bárbara] Well…
Let's proceed. Could you--
If you'll give me a moment, sis,
I have to make just a small,
if I may, interjection.
Yeah, yeah, of course. Go ahead.
Well… [clears throat]
Regarding the shares that belong to me,
as a Hidalgo, I want to inform you all
that I have the power of attorney
that Dad granted me,
so I can express his opinions
as a shareholder.
You what?
-Who the fuck do you think you are?
-Listen up.
I'll make it super clear.
The shares represent the total capital
of our Medusa conglomerate, right?
We know that much.
20% belongs to Dad. That's untouchable.
We can all agree on that.
Otherwise? Bam-bam.
So with me coming in,
the only shares that will be affected
with the same rights and percentages
are the shares owned by my siblings.
That way we're all equal.
Half, and half, and half.
Is this a fucking joke to you?
I hate to break it to you,
but you and I are in the same boat, sis.
No, she isn't. And she never will be.
Wait a minute.
Tell me where it says that in the statute.
Let me read it for you.
"In the hypothetical case
that Medusa's founding member,
at any time in the present or future,
should legally recognize
a new son or a new daughter…"
Ah, see, it says right here.
"…that said descendant shall be considered
an integral part of the estate."
That's the case with Diógenes.
"Consequently, in the case
that this does come to pass,
all of the children,
who are currently shareholders,
must proportionally relinquish
part of their economic
and shareholder participation,
automatically and on equal terms,
so that the newly recognized child
of said founding member,
can access an equal percentage of shares
within the estate
to create equilibrium moving forward."
It says it right there. Huh?
I don't want you guys
to see me as the problem.
We're going to work hard
and make more money,
and so you don't feel the loss
with me coming in.
Look, I know this is big news…
But I'm the real deal, all right?
Maybe you don't see it yet,
but with me, you're gonna fucking win big!
[Viviana laughs out loud]
-Yeah, she's laughing. She gets it.
-Wow.
-[tense music crescendos]
-[Bárbara clears throat]
Okay, how about you continue
with the new updates, Mom, go ahead.
[music peaks and fades]
It's your fault
that fucking ghetto trash is here!
And you know it. I told you, didn't I?
Cristian, this is your mom's fault.
She shouldn't have gotten involved.
Don't bring her into this.
Oh, yeah? You mess with mine
whenever you feel like it.
Stop it! Dad is still the problem here.
This is the foundation of Medusa,
the three of us, and nobody else.
And we're in this together?
Whatever it'll take to protect our own.
[dramatic music playing]
[Diógenes] No, Dad, seriously,
you should have seen it.
Everyone there
was literally flabbergasted. [laughs]
Excellent!
Now you must learn
how to harness that power.
So you'll only get
a small percentage for now.
But it's enough for you to begin
pulling the board's strings over Medusa.
-Along with Camilo, my right-hand man.
-That's right.
You know what, Dad,
I'll keep doing the groundwork for you,
so that when you come back,
ping, the presidency
will be yours like that.
No, no. Wait a minute.
You need to go slow. It's not that easy.
Okay. I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
I know how to help you.
And I know who to speak to.
And who is that?
Well, who else would it be?
I know a few guys
over at the workers' union.
I have contacts on the inside
who can help.
And if they show up for you, Dad,
nobody can stop you from coming back.
Not even your other rotten kids
can stop you.
That's very astute.
The union's vote is very important
and can be powerful in an emergency.
Obviously.
I made sure to read all about it.
If I can somehow get it into their heads
that you're the only one
who can stop Medusa from collapsing,
then it's a done deal,
and you'll be ready to take it all back.
[upbeat suspenseful music playing]
Well, don't you agree with me?
No, I do. Yes, of course I agree.
Obviously, I do.
But just wait for my orders.
It's best that I go in
and talk to the union first.
Nah, yeah, my bad.
Whatever you say. Whenever you say.
But if you need me
to assist with anything,
or help with the planning
of a crisis at Medusa, then I'm your man.
[laughs]
Salud.
Cheers, Dad. Aren't you going to eat?
-No, no, I'm not hungry.
-Come on, eat something.
Have some of mine.
Here. Come on, take some. I have plenty.
-What do you want?
-Thanks.
It's really good.
[music peaks, then fades]
Brother.
-No way!
-Ah, bro. I'm sorry.
Any news on the explosion?
No, nothing yet. Sorry, my man.
-Nothing?
-Mm-mm.
And Eluney?
How about you?
They feeding you in here?
Whatever I can get.
But tell me how we're doing
with the cryptex thing.
We found a USB
with several encrypted folders.
In the first file we opened,
Gunter gave us proof.
His name is Penchy Sabaleta.
-Penchy Sabaleta?
-[suspenseful music plays]
Where have I heard that?
Wasn't he a former government advisor?
That's the guy. He used
his political position to award Gamboa
the construction contracts
in order to work.
That's precisely why
he's here in jail right now.
For corruption and embezzlement.
-Yeah.
-[suspenseful music intensifies]
So he facilitated all the theft.
Penchy took the fall for the whole thing.
And they pinned him with charges
that were meant for Gamboa.
He was implicated,
and Gamboa got off scot-free.
Okay, I'll get in touch with him in here,
and we'll see what we can get out of him.
-I need your help with something.
-Hm-mm.
I need you to ask the Coronel
who the rat was that tipped him off
that I had all this money at home
stashed away in the walls.
Yeah, yeah, I will.
[Fabián with distorted voice]
You can do it or not?
[Deivis] Yes, but I need people,
'cause he's all clicked up.
Tomorrow at the latest.
[Deivis] Copy that.
[music fades]
[Deivis] So you're the famous detective.
-Yeah. So what? Got a problem with me?
-Hey, what's your beef, detective?
I'm a colleague of yours.
Brigadier Cortizo, from the National Army
that I served with great honor.
Battalion 15.
Count on me for anything, you hear?
If you want or need any medication,
food delivery, even some weed,
you name it, Flopy's your man.
Nah, I'm good.
I don't plan
to stay in this shithole for long anyway.
[laughing] Yeah, that's what they all say.
But in case you stick around…
Hey, psst.
Do you know a guy called Penchy Sabaleta?
Yeah, I do.
See that fat motherfucker over there
playing cards?
The one with the plaid shirt?
He runs the entire supply line,
just so you know.
In case you need anything.
Thanks, dude.
Hey, Penchy.
And why am I so lucky to have a visit
from Danger Carmelo?
What brings you to this neighborhood? Ah!
If you want anything from the store,
you need to ask for it in writing.
I guess I might extend you credit,
but you pay my commission in advance.
I appreciate,
but I've already been given my orders.
Uh, but no, the reason I'm here
is to ask you something else.
Here's the proposition.
You have some information I need.
I can help you leave this place.
You can enjoy the years you have left
with your grandkids.
-Free!
-Eh…
-On the outside.
-Sure.
I was born at night, but not last night.
You've got something up your sleeve.
Not with this one.
You can fill in the blanks that we need
to figure out the Gamboa case,
'cause you know the person who killed him.
You know what, Danger?
I'd prefer to live
in a shit bucket like this
than get whacked on the outside
for working with you.
[Danger] They can fuck with you
in here too.
You never know
where death's waiting for you.
It depends on how much
of a motherfucker you've been.
And in what way. So think about it.
We can help each other out, you know?
[tense music playing]
[music fades]
[upbeat Latin music playing]
Okay, here you are.
-Thanks.
-Thanks, baby.
So did Damián try to get in your head?
Not at all.
-I've got him right where I want him.
-How about what you said at the meeting?
Esperanza, it's all part of a plan.
Trust me on this. I've got that man
wrapped around my little finger.
Damián is not a fool.
He won't hesitate to make a move.
I swear that he won't get away
with what he did.
What are you planning then?
Hmm…
It's better if you don't know about it,
for your peace of mind.
Relax.
You know those bastards
don't stand a chance with me.
Okay? Let me handle it.
[Diógenes] Go ahead, my man.
[man] How are you? It's great to see you.
-Hello.
-Hey, bro, how you've been?
Wow, take a look at who's here.
A genuine professional Parcheesi player.
-Okay, are we all here?
-[all] Yes, we're all here! We're here!
Well, as you guys know,
I've become an Hidalgo,
but I want to be clear to everybody
that I'm still the same guy.
The same sexy guy
we've always known, right?
Yes, baby. I have the support
of my old man, Damián Hidalgo, right?
He thinks I went to his side,
but I stayed on your side.
So you've got to keep my secret.
I can't tell anyone.
I have to keep up appearances
with my posh family and all that shit.
So you're just looking for our support
and don't want anything in return.
Listen, lady. Let him finish.
When he's done, you can ask
for whatever it is that you want.
This is not about me.
The questions are for the conglomerate's
workers I represent here.
It is my duty to make sure
that Diógenes is adequate enough
to fulfill what he commits to.
Isn't that right?
Uh-huh! Say your little speech,
then we'll talk.
If you have questions, ask me.
I'll make sure to put it down in writing.
We'll sign a document
where you can all say what you want,
and I promise it will become a reality
because all of you matter!
Bravo! Good! That's it!
Let the questions keep coming!
All right, we've got it!
We already know our first demand!
You can't keep letting Bárbara Hidalgo
fire anymore of us.
We will not take any more of this!
That's right.
Write it down.
Hey, write it down. Write it down.
Hey, it'll be noted and written down.
Now for me, I think Medusa's
most important asset are its workers!
And we have to defend all of you
no matter what! That's what'll happen.
Look, I'm a man of the people,
not like those guys who are to blame
for all the problems at the company.
Those jerks
are the ones who've screwed us over,
because there's no limit
to their ambitions to line their pockets!
I've seen it for myself,
because now I hang out with them
at their houses.
He told me when I was over the other day
that I was eating pheasant.
[all laugh]
Hey, hey, have you ever heard of anybody
eating pheasant in Barranquilla? Huh?
I swear those assholes
have gone too far, right?
-See? He's got a point.
-We'll fight the Hidalgos.
All the way to the end!
[all cheering]
[Diógenes] We're not going.
Hey! There's no way,
I'm gonna make sure of it.
There is no way we can let Damián Hidalgo
regain control of the company
or be in charge!
If he does, he'll only kick more
of you out! He can't be president!
-[all] No!
-[man] No way!
Make no mistake,
my father Damián Hidalgo
is a sleazy motherfucker!
[crowd exclaims and laughs]
If he won't listen to us, if not…
Okay, then we should let
our friend Octavio speak for us.
[communicates through gestures]
[crowd cheers]
And what the mute says…
goes.
Listen up, we need someone who can go
between both worlds to protect you.
The world of the Hidalgos,
to control them, and our world,
because someone needs
to look out for you guys in there!
That man is Diógenes Piña, yeah? I'm…
[all cheering]
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey.
If you back me, I'll make sure
that everybody is being looked after.
Hey, Magda, Magda, if you back me,
I'll take over the presidency,
and I can be fully in charge,
and then I'll stop Medusa,
so they don't destroy everyone
and all of your families.
Or would you prefer
to keep scraping by your whole life?
[all] No!
You don't want that, Magda!
[suspenseful music playing]
All right!
[crowd cheering]
It's a deal!
Trust me, trust me. Hey! Okay!
[music peaks and fades]
[mystic music playing]
[Godmother vocalizing]
Elu, Eluney! ♪
[Godmother vocalizing]
Ay! Ay! Ay! ♪
Ay! Ay! ♪
Ay! Ay! Ay! ♪
Ay! Ay! ♪
[Godmother keeps vocalizing]
[Bárbara] I promise you
that whoever did this will pay.
I swear.
You'll forget about that promise as well,
won't you?
Like all the promises you made
to my goddaughter.
It's so true.
I know I've hurt you
with the choices I've made.
-I'm so sorry for that.
-My Eluney stayed as strong as she could.
But her love for you never went away.
But how would you have noticed
when you're simply too absorbed
in your own things?
She left me pain and hurt…
and left the rest for you.
[tense music playing]
[music turns mystic]
[music fades]
Rotation of operators every Saturday
and the union
has the same rights as sales?
-That's out of line, Magda.
-We're asking for what the company needs.
These demands go against the cost control
we implemented
with the layoffs you were for.
That was a drastic measure
at a time of vulnerability.
We got it wrong. We admit that,
but Medusa's crisis is getting worse!
She has a point.
No, we let go of the staff on probation
to balance the books,
but we've recovered from that now.
Medusa is in a bad place.
It's full of problems and scandals.
That is exactly why,
in our list of demands,
we're asking for this change
to save Medusa.
How would that work?
I call for the immediate removal
of the president.
-Like hell you are.
-We won't allow you to kick out Bárbara.
-No, I support my niece.
-Me too.
I don't ever plan
on going back to that role.
I'd never do that to Bárbara.
I know, Cristian,
but nobody is nominating you. Trust me.
What's your proposal, Magda?
That we make this democratic.
We nominate a candidate from each side,
we put it to a vote,
and whoever wins will be our new leader.
You guys won't propose anything.
The CEO has always come from this family!
-Calm down.
-I won't fucking calm down!
And you, know your place!
Well, if you guys aren't going
to take into consideration
voting and our list of demands,
then the only option is to strike.
Okay, wait just a minute.
You know well
that things here have been falling apart.
If we choose to mobilize a strike,
it could be the end for Medusa.
So I hope you'll all think about it.
Excuse me.
[dramatic music playing]
[door opens and closes]
How are you going to control those people?
What's your plan? If you slip up--
[music crescendos]
-[screams]
-[wild roar]
[music intensifies]
[pulsating music playing]
[music subsides]
It's been a few days
since what happened to Eluney.
How are you feeling
after all that, my love?
I don't have time to even think about it.
Did you at least get a chance
to talk to her?
I'm dealing with the threat
of a strike now.
You know
that I'm totally preoccupied with that.
I'm sorry, but this is not the time.

-I need you to keep an eye on your sister.
-Mm.
I'd rather look after a panther
than Bárbara.
-Cristian, she's upset.
-Did she tell you?
No, and that's how I know she is.
What happened to Eluney was tragic.
She was Bárbara's only friend.
And the only one
who was ever honest with her.
That was brave of her.
Please, talk to her.
Hey, Penchy wants to talk.
-Oh, yeah? Where's he at?
-He'll be in the kitchen in a few.
In the kitchen?
Of course, Penchy says
that the walls have ears here,
and what he needs to tell you
can't be overheard.
My name is Deivis Millarte Hoteortúa,
and I go by Flopy.
I was part of the Los Zarcos gang
led by Cyclops.
And I encountered Detective
Danger Carmelo when he went crooked.
That's why I can confirm
that he kept a lot more money
than he gave back to the police.
-Ah, motherfucker!
-Carmelo, you fucking ass hat.
You've always been a crook.
I'm sure they'll find a big-ass stash
when they search your place.
CONFIDENTIAL
Son of a bitch!
Hey. This is Porras speaking.
Danger's locked up with someone
he put behind bars!
I need you to talk to him urgently
and warn him!
[suspenseful music playing]
[music turns tense]
Penchy.
You know that Cíclope was my cousin.
I knew I recognized your face
from somewhere.
You know what? I'll kill him again.
Oh, now you're getting
the fuck out of here,
but feet first, motherfucker. Kill him!
[tense music builds]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[grunts]
-[guard] Freeze! On the ground! Get down!
-Okay, okay! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[guard] Don't move, Flopy!
-I'm down, guys. We're cool.
-[music fades]
I didn't know what Flopy was going
to do to you, you hear me?
Oh, you think I'm a dumbass or something?
You two planned to take me out.
I'm not an idiot.
Let me tell you something.
If it hadn't been for my friend,
who warned me about this
and sent the guards,
I swear I wouldn't be here
to tell the tale.
Dammit! I didn't know any of that!
Lower your voice!
You think you're speaking to any old cop?
Tell us if you're gonna talk or not?
No, you tell me.
-Am I getting a reduced sentence or not?
-Go ahead.
Okay, deal.
But you better start talking, man.
The first thing we want to know
is if Gamboa had any illicit links
to the Hidalgos through Arácnida.
-[gate opens]
-[prisoner grunts]
They totally had links.
And who was in charge of that?
Damián Hidalgo?
Of course. And he always came
with that cutie, Bárbara.
Don't you see that she's his favorite kid?
Look, let me tell you something, Danger.
Arácnida has been rotten
for a really long time, from within.
With the power those guys have,
they can erase
all the official information,
they can even erase
an entire investigation, everything.
-They've done it tons of times.
-That isn't gonna happen this time.
[laughs] You listening to your buddy?
How are you gonna do that
while you're in here? Tell me.
My friend here
is in charge of the investigation,
and he's on the outside.
But the question I have for you
is why did you kill Gamboa?
[Penchy] That's an easy one.
Danger, can't you see
that Gamboa was interfering
with the plans of that chick
and her beloved dad?
That idiot thought
that if he extorted these guys,
then he'd just suddenly
become a millionaire.
-Do you have any proof of that?
-Of course I do.
I have documents to support
everything I'm telling you, guys.
They thought I was a dumbass,
and I'd run scared when shit blew up,
but it was those assholes
that fucked up the death of Gamboa.
So what do you think of that, Carmelo?

PORRAS
DANGER WAS ATTACKED THIS AFTERNOON
-[Barbara types on her phone]
-[music subsides]
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT HAPPENED?
HE'S SAFE. I'LL LOOK AFTER HIM
[exhales]
[music turns somber]
CALLING…
MAYA
[ringing tone]
[music fades]
-[busy tone]
-[sighs]
MAYA
CALL REJECTED
[gentle dramatic sting]
[ominous music playing]
[Eluney] Bárbara, it's not your time.
It's not your time yet, Bárbara. It's not.
It's not your time yet, Bárbara.
[Godmother] May the mangrove protect
this sacred love
and give it the wisdom it deserves.
-Your ambition has no limit, Bárbara.
-Whose side are you on?
[Bárbara] Are you leaving,
or shall I call security?
[tense music crescendos]
[yells in frustration]
No!
-No!
-[wild roar]
No!
[crying]
[door opens]
-Hey.
-[cries]
Hey, it's gonna be all right.
It'll all be okay.
You know that you've faced worse things.
It'll all be okay.
-I had an abortion, Cristian.
-[dramatic sting]
An abortion.
I don't want to be a mom again.
I don't want to raise another child.
I don't have it in me.
Okay.
That's fine.
You don't have to.
And Eluney.
No matter what,
I can't help but feel responsible.
I think it's my fault she was killed.
-It wasn't. You must know that.
-It was my fault.
Bárbara, you need
to let the police handle it.
They'll also catch the motherfuckers
who tried to kill us.
My life seems to have gone to shit.
Danger is in jail
and won't let me help out.
And we broke up.
[melodic acoustic music playing]
We broke up, Cristian.
And Maya's in Miami.
She won't answer my calls or messages.
It seems like I destroy
everything that I touch.
Everything.
I'm not the best at comforting,
but I want you to know something…
I see you.
You changed.
The old Bárbara
never would have told me this.
And yeah, we are all fucked.
Things here are bad.
But if anyone can get us out of this,
it's you.
Nobody else.
I can't take it anymore.
-Hey.
-[music turns tense]
I feel exhausted
from fighting with myself.
And you're partly right.
About what?
I know that I've grown
and changed a part of me,
but the old me is still alive.
I thought she was gone.
No, she's there.
And I won't control it anymore.
I'll show my true self.
You'll see.
