Call your bosses.
-No way! -Curly!
If they knew, they'd kill us.
If the old lady dies, they'll kill us anyway. Call them!
No fucking way.
Then let's run. Let's go far away, before that asshole arrives.
You're the asshole.
What the fuck happened?
Who the fuck is this kid?
I'm talking to you, bitch!
Locs. He's a friend.
We agreed not to bring anyone.
WE WERE KINGS
Do you like to dance?
Because there's a party, and I'd like to invite you.
You're so beautiful, Malena.
Your eyes are like the night.
No.
Your eyes are like the stars.
I have liked you…
forever.
Do you know which ones you want?
Yes.
Well…
No.
The truth is that I don't really know.
What do you give a girl when…
When what?
The flowers are for my girlfriend. Please.
How about roses?
Okay.
Roses, then.
I am starving.
Me too.
Look.
My stomach is even grumbling.
I thought it was mine.
I don't have anything to eat.
Maybe I can buy some of Carmina's quesadillas.
But don't be long. You're my dessert.
-Mike! -Male.
You're in full uniform.
It's still me, but the premium version.
Why are you here?
I was in the area and…
That's not true.
My mom told me you paid off your house.
Well, I wanted to congratulate you.
Thanks.
Sorry. Where are my manners?
I invited myself in.
Are you busy?
I wanted to tell you I've been to the recycling lots,
and I have a lead on that guy Lucas.
He lives in San Lorenzo Xicoténcatl.
Mike, thank you for the information.
But you have to get back to work, I--
No, it's no bother at all, okay?
Really.
My shift doesn't start for another two hours.
Malena, there is something else.
There's this work party and I…
I'm not sure how you'll react, but…
I was wondering if you
would go with me.
Me?
No. No, Mike. I don't think it's a good idea.
Why not?
I know there's an age gap between us, but…
No, sorry. I didn't mean to say that. It's just…
To be honest, I hadn't told you out of respect for Santos,
but the truth is that…
I like you.
I've liked you for so long, Malena.
I thought we could go out--
You thought wrong, asshole!
-No, don't! -What the fuck are you doing here?
-All dressed up and shit! -And proudly, asshole!
Javo, no!
-You think you're man enough? -Let's go!
No! Guys, stop this!
Guys! Javier, stop!
No! Get off him! No! Stop!
I'll kill you, asshole!
-Move! -Please!
I'll kill you!
Try it, if you have the balls!
-Javier! Miguel! -I'll kill you, fucker!
Javier, stop it! Miguel!
-Come on, jackass! -Come on, jackass!
-You think you're hot shit? -Try me!
You're like animals!
-What happened? -Ask your baby boy.
-Fuck you, man! -Tell her!
Tell her you were fucking your godmother. Your best friend's mother!
-What did he say? -You hypocrite! You came here for that!
Don't get it twisted, we're not the same!
Did Santos know you were fucking his mom?
Stop it, both of you! Shut up!
Is it true, Javier? How long has this been going on?
-There's a lot to explain-- -I asked my son, Malena!
How long?
Six months.
-What? -Six months.
Six months?
So when everything happened with Santos, you two were already fucking.
I told you. Now we know who the secret girlfriend was.
That's why he paid for her house. It turns out she was after money.
Asshole.
What are you going to do to Locs? It wasn't his fault.
That old lady is sneaky, boss. Really.
We were sorting some things out and she got away.
It wasn't my--
"Sorting things out"? Fucking crackheads.
I can't beat you senseless because the doctor needs your help.
What's up, doc? How's the old lady doing?
Her condition is serious.
Apart from her wound, she is showing signs of withdrawal.
Apparently, she has some disease. Her blood won't clot.
Hemophilia?
I don't think so. She would've bled out by now.
Oh.
Since you're at it…
I want you to gift me one of her fingers.
This one.
You all know what happens if the old lady gets away, right?
Good.
I'll deal with you later, Curly.
You promised me to help with your nephew.
You don't give a shit about that either?
Hey! Whatever you might need, anything…
You know where to find me.
How great!
You fuck everything up, leave, and I have to deal with this shit.
If you go, there's no reason for me to stay.
Hey, don't say that.
Mike loves you.
And Mom does, too.
What's wrong, buddy?
Are you moving in with her?
Hey.
Baby Santos, take good care of her, buddy.
Take care of her.
There, there.
I love you so much, princess.
I love you too, Javo. You prick.
I'm leaving, Mom.
Give me a blessing.
OCTAVIO LEVI MANAGING DIRECTOR
You asked to see me urgently. I imagine it's important.
Yes, Octavio. It's serious.
So tell me. How can I help you?
My mother was kidnapped.
They're asking me for money
that I don't have.
I need the bank to give me an emergency loan.
A loan of…
one million dollars.
Here is my financial plan
to pay it off with my salary over five years.
It's impossible.
We would only lend that amount on a business account,
and only with a high interest rate.
I know, but all these years, I've given this company my all.
I've made the bank huge profits and you know it.
Octavio…
I'm begging you, please,
to make an exception.
It's company policy, Sonia.
You've known this for years.
If it were up to me, you know I'd give you the loan.
Come and help me.
Didn't you hear me?
I'm coming.
Start folding the shirts.
You'll need to learn to iron, too. I have too many orders.
I don't give a shit about ironing.
What?
I don't give a shit about it!
Show some respect or get out!
Look, your mother is right.
You need to learn some responsibility.
Heidi, you have a baby. You need to provide for him.
Where are you going?
Heidi!
Don't, boss. Give him a break.
We were really high.
We smoked some ice he gave me as a present.
I didn't notice until she was outside.
I panicked when I saw her with the phone.
I pulled out my gun. I just wanted to scare her.
I expected more from you, Curly.
See? They can't handle shit.
It's what's wrong with our country.
Kids these days have no honor.
The Boy Heroes of Chapultepec were the same age as these morons.
And yet, they chose to die over being dishonored.
That lady who hugged you is worth a million dollars.
Look.
You could buy a mountain that big of that shit you like to smoke.
Anyway, you're off the hook, Curly.
Thanks, boss.
I swear it won't happen again. I'm going to get clean. I promise.
Next year, I'll be a Nazarene in the Via Crucis
just to prove it.
See? I believe in second chances.
Too bad Pitbull doesn't.
On another note…
Javo,
you lied about the old lady's condition?
Don't get carried away, Pitbull.
Let's see if this asshole makes the best of his second chance.
Have you seen Javier?
"Have you seen Javier?"
You lost your man in less than one afternoon?
He said he was coming to get some things, but he never came back.
You better get used to that.
That's Javo for you.
He doesn't answer to any woman.
-I also want-- -Are you here to apologize?
I'm here to explain.
Explain what, Malena? It's all very clear.
You slept with your godson.
You slept with my son.
You took advantage of my friendship, my good nature.
I understand whatever you might be feeling.
If you'd just let me explain, you'd see that maybe it isn't--
You know what?
I'd known your son since he was a child too,
and I could never have imagined sleeping with him!
It's not the same, Nora.
You spent time with them, and I'm grateful for it.
For taking care of my son.
But I worked day and night when they were kids.
I got to know Javier when he was a man and--
I don't know what's wrong with you.
There are so many men who are after you.
And you get involved with your godson… You're worse than a dog.
Even actual bitches can contain their urges.
I love Javier.
I had never said it, but I love him and he loves me. We never--
You came to explain and you've done it!
Get out of my house, please.
And leave me your key.
One, four, two.
Dispatch, go ahead.
I'm an idiot. A fucking idiot!
I was so nervous about asking Malena to a stupid party
and Javo has been fucking her for six months.
Santos was looking for his mother that night.
What if he saw them?
Maybe that's the motive?
Your brother's an asshole, but do you think he's capable of that?
Right, my brother. I don't think I know him anymore.
I never thought he'd screw his best friend's mom,
but here we are.
I thought his biggest fuck-up was selling stolen car parts.
Turns out he even paid off Malena's house, and right under my nose.
My brother is up to something bad.
So if you're asking if I think he's capable of killing Santos…
Then we better find this Lucas guy.
And pray he's the killer.
Who's there?
It's me, Heidi!
Coming.
What's up?
What a blessing!
Come on in. You must be hungry.
Listen. Take one of those barrels.
Fill it with that, but not fully, or you'll make a mess.
Chop him up with that chainsaw.
We also have knives if you don't like it.
So I have to…
Yes. You will dissolve him in acid.
So this is the mighty Javier Reyes.
You do it, Pitbull.
But make this coward clean everything up.
Including his own vomit, of course.
Fucking snowflakes.
So tell me. What are you doing here?
Are you here to have dinner with a boring old man?
What happened?
I ran away from home. I can't stand my mother anymore.
I'm going to go far away.
To the North.
Think carefully. You are responsible for a baby now.
You can't make rash decisions.
What?
You have Nora's eyes.
Then I'll pluck them out.
Let's eat, okay?
Then you'll get some rest.
It's not a five-star hotel…
It's not that bad, Uncle.
It's like a little treehouse.
Hey, Uncle.
Do you promise you won't tell anyone I'm here?
Yes, darling.
Do you promise you won't leave school?
Yes. I do.
What happened?
What is that?
Where were you, Javier?
With Taiguer.
There was an urgent job.
TAIGUER'S JUNKYARD
Come on in, Malena.
I assume by now you know Javo and I are together.
Oh, sweet Malena, the whole town knows about that.
Are you worried about the money I lent Javo?
I'd like to know what I'm getting into.
Are you dealers?
Are you selling drugs or what?
Look, Malena, instead of asking where the money came from,
ask yourself why.
You really can't see who Javo truly is, right?
Can you?
He's a sweet kid.
He's not a kid.
He's more of a man than anyone I know.
I know you've spent your whole life
fending off guys who want to get in your pants.
Guys who promise you the sun, the moon, the stars.
Javo won't promise you a thing.
But he'll get a rocket.
And when you wake up…
you'll have the moon on your doorstep.
I'm looking for Lucas Bermúdez.
He's a waste picker.
Please look at this picture. Have you seen him around?
Thanks. Goodbye.
He's a potential suspect in the murder of a policeman.
Thanks.
Morning, ma'am.
Morning.
-Just a quick question. -Sure.
Have you seen Lucas Bermúdez?
I haven't seen him.
-He's a waste picker. -I don't know him.
-Are you sure you haven't? -I don't know him.
Lucas?
Lucas! Wait!
I just want to talk! Lucas!
Lucas!
I didn't do anything!
-Then why run? -I didn't kill anyone!
You're under arrest. Let's go.
Heidi!
Jeez.
Herminia! Pick up, please!
Fercho and I have been kidnapped.
Has Pitbull not noticed he's carrying the GPS?
That guy doesn't know his ass from his elbow.
He must be there with Venegas.
I have to fix this mess.
Stop clowning around and get to work.
Where did you hide the piece?
Fuck. Where the hell is it, Taiguer?
What do you want it for?
What do you mean? I need to go in there.
You're being stupid, Javier.
You know what could happen if Pitbull sees you?
He's with Venegas. Now is my chance to rescue her.
You're stubborn. Do you know what that guy can do?
I know!
I know what those assholes are capable of. That's why I need to rescue Alicia.
Put the gun down. Give it to me! Don't go killing someone over this.
Let go, Javo. Come on.
Let go of it.
Javo.
Hey, son.
Javo.
Hey.
What's wrong?
You don't know.
You don't know what they made me do last night.
Hey.
I'll go. Stay here. Don't move.
Coming!
Where are you keeping my boss, jackass?
-Grandma, calm down. -You should be dead, you scum!
-Listen-- -Let me go!
-He's not involved. -I don't believe you.
Get off me!
Where is Alicia?
Where is she? Tell me! Is she in one of those trucks?
Herminia, I swear. I haven't kidnapped anyone.
You're not going to fool me!
I already know about the kidnapping. You got my grandson involved!
Is she alive?
Alicia is fine, I swear.
But she's not here, because he's not involved in this.
You are both assholes.
Look at me, Javier, and answer.
-Where is Alicia? -I'll bring you some water.
I can't tell you that, okay?
If you don't, I'll find out on my own.
Where are you going?
They'll kill you. They'll kill us all.
Let me handle it, please.
I'll go get Alicia right now.
On your own?
You think you can do it all by yourself. Foolish boy.
Grandma! Please, I'm begging you.
I am begging you too, Javier.
Tell Mike or I'll tell him everything.
No. Not Mike, please.
If we can't ask Mike for help, who?
It's not a good time right now.
Javier Reyes, come with us to the station.
Everything is fine. Okay?
I'm okay.
-Let's go. -This way.
IZTAPALAPA POLICE DEPARTMENT
Sit down, Javier.
Who is he?
Javier, look at him. Tell me he's the guy who killed Santos.
Look at him, Javier!
-Look at me. I'm innocent. -Shut your mouth!
Was it him?
What's wrong, Javier?
Don't you recognize him?
You said you'd never forget the face of the son of a bitch who shot Santos.
Was it him? Yes or no?
Is he the man who killed Santos?
Yes or no?
Please.
No.
Let's go.
We are not done yet.
You know what I think?
That there was no attacker.
I think it all started when Santos went looking for his mom.
And he found her with you.
Both of their footprints were there.
Outside the bathroom.
I think that all Santos wanted was to get away from what he saw.
You followed him up to the cliff, where things got worse.
The pain of knowing he was betrayed by the guy he loved the most.
There's no going back.
Those brothers who loved each other deeply are no longer in the same world.
It was either Santos
or you.
Do you remember now, Javier?
You should have done the paraffin test.
To dispel any doubts.
Hello?
I want my money in 48 hours, or it's her head I'll send you next.
