01x07 - The Prosecutor's Fall

[bunniefuu]

[pop music playing]

[laughs] I expected nothing less
from you and Claudio, Helena.

You always throw the best parties.

[Hugo] It's absolutely wonderful.
Everything is just perfect.

What's your secret, Helena?

Knowing who to invite

and who wants to have a good time.

Have you seen Claudio?

[Francisco] No.

I haven't seen him around in a while now.

[Hugo] Well, I'd keep my eye on him.

Your husband
can be quite naughty, you know?

Good thing I'm not the jealous type.

-That guy's such a lucky b*stard.
-[Hugo] No f*cking kidding.

You always get the best-looking men.

And young ones.

-[Helena chuckles]
-You know what I like.

-Have you seen Claudio?
-Yeah, he was over there.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[beep]
-[gate opens]

[sensual music playing]

[moaning]

UNSPEAKABLE SINS

[music ends]

That's when I found out
about the orgies in the secret cellar.

Claudio organized them.

Only powerful people
were allowed to take part.

He never told you anything?

We'd only been married for two years.

I did go to the parties,

but I didn't know there was
a secret room at the Valle house.

[dramatic music playing]

[Claudio] These cameras record
every movement and inch

of the room you just discovered.

[Helena] Do they know
they're being filmed?

[Claudio] No.

Only I do.

The thing that pisses me off
is you used those videos for extortion.

You know that's ill*gal.

You didn't think so
when we framed Claudio.

-I was trying to save you and your son.
-Thanks very much for that.

-You were using me.
-No, I wasn't.

You made me believe you were his victim
when you were actually his accomplice.

Claudio, why on earth are you doing this?

Most of these people
are powerful and influential.

We don't know when we might need them
to do us a favor or two.

Is that your excuse?

You're gonna extort favors
from these people?

Those undesirables

are corrupt, you know.

There's not a saint among them.

Look at me.

It's always good
to have an ace up your sleeve.

I need you to believe me
when I say I didn't know.

When I found out, I objected.

I don't know, then Claudio
convinced me to get involved.

He was right, though.
Those people don't deserve respect.

-No, don't try and justify what you did.
-I'm not trying to justify it.

I'm not a victim here.

I was Claudio's accomplice
for many, many years.

And when I wanted to get out,
it was too late.

And that's when you decided
to use me and bring me in.

I didn't use you. I needed that video
to put pressure on him.

But then he disappeared,
and now he turned up dead, and…

[breathes shakily]

Look, Iván…

if you decide
you don't ever want to see me again,

I'll understand.

I just want to make it very clear to you
that I didn't lie about one thing.

What's that?

That I fell in love with you.

I fell for you
like I've never fallen for anyone before.

[dramatic music continues]

[music ends]

[Antonio] All the news reports
seem to be omitting one small detail.

That your body was unrecognizable
and that you were quickly cremated.

Why don't I show you some photos
from your funeral?

It was really quite sad.

[Claudio breathes heavily]

Octavio.

He looks nervous, huh?

Why's that?

Know what's even sadder?

Your wife, your beloved Helena,
didn't shed one tear.

I shouldn't even tell you about Livia.

She stared at me
throughout the entire funeral

just wanting to f*ck me.

Don't mess with my daughter, you b*stard.

Well, we spent the whole night f*cking.

You are a piece of sh*t,
just like your father was.

[Claudio grunts]

Don't ever mention my dad again,
you f*cking prick!

Do you think I could ever forget
the way you treated my father?

He was your driver,
not your sl*ve, as*h*le.

I was a child but not an idiot.

You were my bodyguard, my confidant.

Yes, I covered for you all the time.
All your sh*t.

But I'll never forget
that all I am is a f*cking lackey.

Isn't that what you called me?

Why don't you just k*ll me?

[tense music playing]

[groaning]

Someone wants me to stay alive.

Why don't you stop talking bullshit

and be thankful

that we are keeping you here
in this sacred sanctuary?

I mean, don't you want
to keep up your image

of being so honorable?

You son of a b*tch.

Behind closed doors,
you were beating the sh*t

out of your wife and stepson.

You f*cked every single man you could buy.

But everything comes at a price, Claudio,
and now it's time for you to pay up.

[music fades]

Hey!

Did you talk to Helena?

No, she left earlier.

She's avoiding us.

But, as of today,
she'll be seeing me at the office.

I'll take my rightful place
in the company.

[tense sting]

You don't have
to sacrifice your time, Livia.

Why don't you go back to Tulum?

I can take care
of all the family matters and the company.

No, I said I'm going to help you, Octavio.

This company also belongs to me,

and we've got to stand together
against Helena.

[tense sting]

I'll see you later.

Okay, bye.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Livia, if you're going out,
I'll escort you.

Mm, you don't have to, Antonio.

Let me take care of you.

Your dad's gone,
but if he were here, he'd want me to.

I can take care of myself,
but maybe you can look after Octavio.

Octavio's got his own bodyguards.

Please let me.

If I don't do my job,
I'll end up being fired.

[tense music playing]

You've got to leave that family,
they're toxic.

You have to understand,
I was just thinking about the two of us.

You seem to be very happy
that my dad's dead, Antonio.

No, it's not that.

You never got along with him,
you were always arguing.

Yes, he was a piece of sh*t,
but he was my father!

I feel guilty about what happened.

The last time I saw my dad, I…

I pulled that stupid stunt
at the company, and…

That's his last memory of me.

I can't do anything to change it.

If Claudio is dead for sure,

then why don't we leave here
and begin a new life together?

I don't want to interrupt
your treatment, though.

I can continue it at another clinic.

Fer, you know how hard it was for us

to find a clinic
that was finally able to help you.

Is there another reason you want to stay?

[emotional music playing]

[Iván] I don't know
what's going to happen.

I just know I want to be here,

next to you, like this.

[reporter] Attorney Rafael Barrientos
was recognized

by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

with the highest distinction granted
by the Mexican Chancellor's Office,

for his integral part in the mediation

of the border conflict
with the United States.

-Mr. Barrientos has extensive experience…
-What is it?

What?

Who is he?

-He has been an advisor to the President…
-Who?

Uh, I don't know, never seen him before.

…on numerous international issues.

I fell for you like I've never fallen
for anyone before.

[cell phone vibrates]

[sighs]

Hi, yeah. I know I have to pay
those tuition fees. I'm sorry.

It's just that I haven't had much work,

uh, but I'll take care of it, okay?
Don't worry.

[Fedra] Hello.

Hey.

[electronic music playing over speakers]

[Fedra] What's up?

It's amazing to me
that you still work out like a madman

to impress the clientele
that you have all but abandoned.

You told Helena to go to hell?

Or did she convince you she's innocent

and that her husband
forced her to do the video thing?

[electronic music continues]

Pablo, hold on!

I want you to do your very best today.

Don't exaggerate, love.

This is a great opportunity.

The Claudio Martínez case
has been all over the media

and you solved it in record time.

This press conference
has me on edge, Arcadia.

You should get a hold of yourself.

Last time you were a little hesitant
with your responses.

Yes, well,
that's because journalists are vultures.

Look, they're just doing their job,
that's all,

and you have to do yours.

I know, you don't have
to keep reminding me.

You are the district attorney,

and everyone expects
to see a man who's firm

and shows authority.

[sighs]

[tense music playing]

[engine starts]

[music fades]

Claudio Martínez
was kidnapped and m*rder*d

by an organized crime network,

and instead of keeping his body
for further investigation,

they decide to cremate him in record time.

-They don't want anyone to investigate.
-Exhuming isn't possible.

Without DNA, we can't identify him.

But his son ID'd him.

Look, his family may be very powerful,
but I'm still curious.

I need to find and question
the coroner who wrote that report.

TRANSFER TO ACCOUNT

[Octavio] This is a foreign
offshore account, Magic.

The transaction is totally secret.

Money's there.

You've got your millions.

Now, I owe nothing, Magic.

[tense music playing]

Let me just remind you
that dead guy isn't your dad.

I helped you
with the whole song and dance,

and even took the blame for his death.

I want those videos.

[tense music intensifies]

[music fades]

-Is it your family again?
-[sighs]

Of course, you let your work
slide too long,

and now you have to sell
some of your valuables.

[zipping bag]

They're just material things.
That's why I have them.

No, it's not just that.

You've been prioritizing Helena.

Iván, when was the last time you saw
your family or even sent them money?

[sighs] I'm gonna get another job.

I'll find a way to make money.

What are you gonna work as?

A swimsuit model or a waiter in a bar?

You won't make the same money.

Honestly, forget about all this sh*t
and go back to your clients.

They love you
and they can't wait to see you.

Fedra, I want to change my life.

For Helena.

That woman is no good for you, Iván.

She was the one who organized
those sex parties,

she extorted money from everyone.

It wasn't Claudio.

-I'll be right back.
-Okay, whatever you like.

[electronic music playing over speakers]

Hello.

How are you? You look kind of sad.

[sighs]

You know I'm not a saint, right?

But I married someone even worse.

What's up with Helena?

Helena had this idea
how we could screw a bunch of people,

and I don't want her
to do the same to you.

I don't want you to be a part of it.

-What kind of game are we talking about?
-[sighs]

Do you want to meet the real Helena?

Come.

[sultry music playing]

♪ See it through, see it through ♪

♪ See it through, see it through ♪

♪ Don't let us fall apart ♪

♪ See it through ♪

♪ Don't let us fall apart ♪

[Fedra] Listen, I've seen
a lot of things in my life,

but Helena really surprised me that night.

♪ Don't let us fall apart ♪

♪ See it through… ♪

She didn't even bat an eye
when she saw me there.

Then I understood that
she was the bait they were using

to hook all the politicians
and businessmen

into dealing with their company.

They got money from them?

No, more like favors.

She blackmailed them for stuff
like building permits for hotels

on land that they weren't allowed
to build on.

[sighs] If all this is true,
then why did she wanna run away?

Why did Helena want to leave Claudio?

Because she didn't want to run away.

She wanted to get Claudio
out of the picture

so she could have everything.

Do you think she's going to leave now?

She could if she wanted. Claudio's dead.

But she's not going to.

Because what she wants
is to become even richer.

Not just by building hotels
but with those videos too.

No, she told me
she didn't know where they were.

That's just another one of her lies.

I'm telling you, she has those videos,

and she's extorting everyone.

Including the prosecutor.

Haven't you noticed?

Magic's been paid,
so that's one problem down.

I've got a press conference today.
I don't want any surprises.

Don't worry.

I'm sure my father is dead,

and I'm fully convinced
that Fernando is the one who k*lled him.

Helena is obviously covering for him.

There's something you should know.

You know those videos
Magic was talking about?

One of those videos is mine, Octavio.

And Helena threatened to release it.

[tense music playing]

You can trust me, Pablo.

We're both up to our f*cking necks
in this mess. Know what I mean?

I'm not telling you what's on the video.

But if you want my continued support,
I need you to control Helena.

Don't you worry.

Things are gonna change
now that I'm in charge of the business.

First thing I'm gonna do
is take care of Helena.

My father just died,

and my brother's already
moving into his office?

Mm.

Well, starting today,
I'm also going to need an office.

I'll be coming to the company every day.

Come on, Felipe,
don't play hard to get, man.

I just want to take a quick peek
at the report you did on Claudio Martínez.

No, I told you no.

Oh, would you look what I've got here?

I can't believe it. Donuts.

They're your favorite.
Jelly donuts. [gasps]

No, you're not going to change my mind
with donuts, Sofía.

It's far too dangerous,
and you're about to become a mother.

Just let things be, okay?

Mm.

FORENSIC_MEDICINE_1

Rebeca, here's the money
for his tuition and karate.

I want him to keep playing sports, okay?
There should be enough left over for you.

Thanks.

Pato, bring this to your room.

Are you gonna take me to karate?

If you get changed real quick?
Sure. Come here.

I miss you so much, buddy.

I miss you, Dad.

-Okay, buddy.
-Get changed quickly.

Okay.

-Fast as you can.
-Okay.

[chuckles]

Hey, Iván.

We've got money for the rent.

But between my shifts at the hospital
and everything, it's hard.

-I can't do this alone.
-I know.

I'll take care of it, okay? I promise.

You're full of promises.

Look, next week I'll deposit the money
for all the rent that's past due.

I won't be able to come here, but please,

let me continue seeing Patricio.

I'll go with him to his karate
and later I'd like to--

But there never seems to be
a "later" with you, Iván.

Pato, get changed.

[Pato] Okay.

What are you doing here?

[tense music playing]

All's good.
I found what I was looking for.

You're looking for those videos

and I've told you a thousand times
that I don't have them.

Then why'd you threaten Pablo with one?

[tense sting]

He told you?

Were you talking sh*t about me?

If you don't like it, then you
and your junkie can just get lost.

That's the last time
you will ever call my son that.

I don't know where you've hidden him.
He k*lled my father.

Magic m*rder*d your dad.

Why do you keep accusing Fernando when--

Stop. Why don't you just leave
this company and the house?

You're not needed here.

[chuckles]

Of course.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?
To have total control.

To have the power.

Although I don't really understand why.

You've always been such an idiot.

I am the owners' son.

And you?

Just the woman who moved
into my mother's position.

I am your dad's widow.

Half of all of this is mine.

The other half is yours and Livia's.

So I think we're going to have to learn
to put up with each other.

You can't hide that ambition.

We're going to eat this cake,
because we all took part in baking it.

I'm not going to give you my share,
because I worked hard for it.

Understand?

Or should I call the lawyers
to explain it to you?

-I thought so.
-[door closes]

What's up, honey?

Yeah.

Well, I just finished my shift
and I'm on my way. Mm?

Go ahead, then.

I'll see you soon. Bye.

Come on, drink up.

[door closes]

[vomits]

[groans]

[Octavio] I think the best way to honor
my father's memory is to move forward.

What do you have in mind? Surprise us.

I say we continue to build Sal y Arena.

So you want to use
our father's death as an excuse

to further a project
that's basically suicidal?

-You've never had a head for business.
-[Helena] And you have?

Our stock plummeted when he disappeared.
Imagine what it will do now.

Eight percent and dropping.

We have to show that the company
is still strong in his absence.

That we are a solid company
and we remain in good hands.

As long as they're yours, I suppose.

Octavio and I have priority
over every decision--

Livia, the last time the press saw you,

you were involved in a protest
against one of your father's projects.

This is our family business.

Which a lot of other people
have investments in.

-[sighs]
-Let the shareholders have the final say.

Let them decide who has the experience
and talent to be in charge.

[tense music playing]

I am here to announce
the arrest of Alfredo Reséndiz.

He's confessed to being responsible
for the kidnapping and m*rder

of businessman Claudio Martínez.

The accused,
who has already been indicted,

was a former official
with the Attorney General's Office.

In addition to the charges
of kidnapping and homicide,

for which he will be tried
and certainly convicted,

Reséndiz also has links
to organized crime.

In the spirit of transparency,

and taking into account
the relevance of this case,

we have decided to share this information
with you, the public.

Here is an excerpt from the recording
of the accused's statement.

CAPTURED

Run the video now, please.

[tense music playing]

-[confused chatter]
-[woman] What is that?

[camera shutters clicking]

-[reporter 1] Who are those people?
-[reporters clamoring]

-[reporter 2] One question!
-[reporter 3] Mr. District Attorney!

How do you plan
on telling your kids about this, sir?

[clamoring continues]

[reporter 2] One question!

[clamoring continues]

[breathes heavily]

[phone rings]

[dramatic music playing]

[ringing continues]

[breathes heavily]

[ringing continues]

I'm not taking any calls!

Sir.

No, don't worry, sir.
I'll take care of everything. It's okay.

Yes. No, no, no, no, no.

This does not have to affect you
or the party, it's a misunder--

[call disconnects]

[yells]

[panting]

I've always worked
by my father's side here,

long before he married Helena.

If anyone's gonna be solving
the company's problems, it's gonna be me.

This project isn't a problem,
don't you get it?

It's an environmental disaster.

If you can't settle
your differences as siblings,

how do you expect to run a company?

[cell phones buzzing and chiming]

What are you all watching
on your f*cking phones?

They just showed a sex tape
of the district attorney

at his news conference.

[tense sting]

You did that. You've had the videos,
and now we know what's on them.

I don't know what you're talking about,
unless you know something we don't.

[music fades]

[line ringing]

We've gotta talk, Pablo,
answer the f*cking phone!

Why are you so concerned about that video?
What's it to you?

Helena is playing dirty.

Remember I told you that Dad
was keeping some important videos?

You never told me
what was on those videos.

I just found out myself.

There are more like Pablo's.

A sh*t ton more.

A lot of important,

influential,

dangerous people.

Helena is behind this sh*t show
and putting us at risk.

Hold on, but why would Dad
have those videos?

I don't know, Livia! Just think, come on.

They recorded people to extort them.

They blackmailed, took advantage of them.
That's what they did!

But what does Helena achieve
by releasing those videos?

Well, it gets Pablo out of the way.

She thinks we're teaming up against her.

She wants our money.

All of it.

-[exhales]
-We can't let that happen.

[music fades]

DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

[dramatic music playing]

-Let me explain, my love.
-It's all crystal clear!

[sobbing] You are a sick,
drug-addicted pervert.

Who knows what kind of sh*t
you've infected me with?

What's wrong, Mom?

Nothing, sweetie, go back inside.

Remedios, my love,
it's going to be okay, I promise.

Son… don't worry.

It's all a misunderstanding.
Everything will be back to normal soon.

I'll always be here for you.
You can trust me.

[sobs]

You're wrong, Pablo.
It'll never be the same again.

Arcadia, please don't do this.

[door closes]

[soft music playing]

[Iván] Is this your first time?

-Yes.
-Yeah?

Hm.

Come here.

Just relax.

-Listen to the music.
-[chuckles nervously]

Relax.

Yeah?

[chuckles]

I know what it's like.

Being married for all those years,

your husband doesn't notice you.

You need this.

You deserve to have…

someone who wants to be with you,

who makes you feel desired.

[provocative music playing]

[moaning]

[moaning]

What happened? Did I do something wrong?

No, no, no, no, no. You are so wonderful.

[Claudio screams]

Help me!

[door opens]

[Claudio wails]

-Claudio, hold on.
-[groans] It hurts.

-What is? What's wrong?
-[groans]

-Are you in pain? What's happening to you?
-It hurts.

-Wha-- Where? Tell me.
-[groans]

What can I do to help?

-[Claudio yells]
-[thud]

[panting]

[groaning]

You were his bodyguard.

You don't remember
anything weird going on?

I don't know, like that whole thing
that happened today with Pablo.

Look, Livia, if I knew something,
I'd tell you.

But you know what your dad was like,
how guarded he was about certain things.

-[tense music playing]
-[cell phone rings]

Hello?

Honey.

Da-- Is that you, Dad?

Yes, Livia!

I'm alive.

Dad, wait.

Tell me where you are.
Antonio and I will come get you.

No, honey.

-Listen very carefully to me. [groans]
-Hello?

Hello?

Dad, answer me!

[cell phone beeps]

[Livia] What should I do?

I-- I've got to tell Pablo or the police.

No, no, you can't tell anyone, Livia.

[grunts]

[grunting]

If your father's still alive,
we don't know who's got him.

It could be anyone in the company.
It could be Pablo or Helena.

Might even be your own brother.

Isn't it weird
how he was cremated so quickly?

[Claudio groans]

[music intensifies]

No! Don't sh**t me! Don't sh**t me!

I'm an old woman! Please, don't sh**t me!

Okay, if your dad is alive,

then whose body did your brother ID?

[groans]

[exhales]

[groans]

Unfortunately, I don't think
there's anyone you can really trust.

Not even your own family.

[breathes heavily]

It looks to me
like this was a plan hatched

between the prosecutor and your brother.

You can't tell anyone about this.

If they find out your dad managed
to call you somehow, they'll k*ll him.

Wha-- What do you expect me to do then?

Sit around,
do nothing while they k*ll him?

[breathing heavily]

[cell phone rings]

What's up?

[man panting] He's escaped!

And he's got a g*n.

[tense music continues]

On my way.

I got business to attend to.

Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Give me your cell phone.

I've got a friend who's a hacker.
Maybe he can trace that call.

Thanks.

You're not alone in this, Livia.

I'll always be there to protect you,
and I will find your father.

Take care of yourself, okay?

[exhales]

[music ends]

[door closes]

[knocking on door]

Are you serious, Iván?

[gasps]

Holy sh*t! I can't believe you!

[gasps] I mean, that lady's
old enough to be your aunty.

[gasps]

Sure, why not? Come on in.

What do you want, Sofía?

Mm.

I went to the morgue
to question the coroner

who performed the autopsy on Claudio.

As I expected,
he didn't say anything to me,

but he did seem really, really nervous.

Okay. So what?

I couldn't find any record of the file.

It's like it never existed.

Same thing happened to Claudio.

With his body.

I don't know why,

but I get the feeling
that body wasn't his.

[sighs] Look, I don't have time
for your conspiracy theories.

Have you seen the video
of the district attorney?

No.

No?

Look.

[sighs]

[tense music playing]

VIRAL SCANDAL

Who the f*ck is leaking those videos?

[door opens]

Ms. Helena, the prosecutor's here
to see you.

I had nothing to do with it.

-You know what kind of damage you've done?
-I didn't do it, I'm surprised--

I've lost my career, my family,
my marriage, my reputation, 'cause of you!

I lied to you. I don't have the videos.
I honestly have no idea who did.

You wanted $25 million for that video
and threatened to make it go viral.

You caused all of this!

Calm down, let's just talk--

-You are going to fix this, b*tch!
-Hey, no, no.

You're fixing it,
right here and right now!

[Francisco] Helena must've been
the one to release that video of Pablo.

This is the first piece
of the domino effect.

If he can fall,

then anyone else who went
to those parties can as well.

-Put the g*n down. We'll find a solution.
-There is no f*cking solution!

My whole life has turned into a sh*t show
because you leaked that video!

I didn't, and you are not
the first person this has happened to.

Everybody is talking about me!
Everyone out there is making fun of me!

-They'll forget it with the next scandal!
-My family won't!

-It'll pass.
-Any idea how conservative my wife is?

-There are consultants. Your political--
-The party turned its back on me!

-I've lost everything because of you!
-No, no!

-You've got your kids, your wife!
-Don't touch me!

-Don't mention my children!
-Think of your kids.

-No.
-You m*therf*cking b*tch!

You should have seen
the look of hatred in their eyes.

The shame, the resentment.

I'm a f*cking pariah. Don't you get it?!

The prosecutor's being violent.

-Violent?
-He pushed me out.

-What do you mean?
-He's in Ms. Helena's office!

Put the g*n down.
A video will not put you in jail.

k*lling me will.

-Listen to me.
-The only k*ller is your son!

-He m*rder*d Claudio, you covered it up!
-Claudio's m*rder*r is Magic.

-Oh my God!
-You need to listen to me!

You know perfectly well
that's a big f*cking lie!

The body that was cremated
was not Claudio's, Helena.

-Why did you close the f*cking case?
-Because Octavio pushed me into it!

He promised me, he swore
he'd stop you from leaking that video.

And you still decided to do it!

But you know what? I've got
nothing to lose now because of you.

Let's talk to Octavio.
He can explain what's going on!

-No, you're not going anywhere!
-[g*nsh*t]

-What the f*ck?!
-[whimpers]

Call the police! Call security!

[dramatic music playing]

[gasps]

-[g*nsh*t]
-[panicked screaming]

My God, what?

Wait, are you sure?

No, it's okay. I got it. Thanks.
I don't believe it.

Is everything all right?

g*nshots were reported
at the Sal y Mar offices.

Apparently,
the district attorney shot himself

after sh**ting Helena.
