01x12 - Secrets of the Past

[bunniefuu]

[tense music playing]

What's wrong?

-I need a few minutes with Claudio.
-I'm not leaving you with that as*h*le.

I suggest you listen to your client.

Iván. Iván.

-For me.
-Not until you tell me what's going on.

-I'll be okay.
-Helena.

I'll be right outside.

Did I, or did I not tell you
we needed to talk?

He was just a kid, you monster.
And Cristina didn't want to let you go.

Look, Mommy. I drew a picture.

Ah, honey, your drawings
are getting better and better.

Here, put a date on it.

You don't want to forget
when you made it, my love.

When did my house become a daycare center?

There was no one to look after him. Sorry.

So, you think

that just because you're f*cking
my husband, you can do whatever you want?

Don't say that in front of my son.

Cristina, hey.

-Cristina, please.
-Leave me! Let me go!

[Fer] Mommy.

You won't take my house and my family,
you f*cking sl*t!

Don't listen to her.

Cristina was an alcoholic.
She always despised me and Fer.

Until that day by the pool,
completely unprovoked,

he k*lled her.

I always draw the same thing
every time I'm in crisis.

-It looks like a person drowning.
-Yeah.

But don't ask me who it is,
because I have no idea.

He was just a boy,
didn't know what he was doing.

And you're sure
he doesn't remember anything?

Of course, it was totally traumatic.
He was in shock.

[Marisol] It may be something
in your subconscious

that you've buried.

How would he feel
if he found out what he did?

How would he feel if he found out

his own mother
threw Cristina's body into the lake?

Hm?

It was your idea.

-You were an accomplice.
-No.

I don't appear in the video.

The one who would go
to jail for this is you.

For covering up a m*rder
your son committed.

If you don't come back to this house,
I'll leak that video,

and your son
will be branded as a m*rder*r.

Is that what you want?

Your decision.

[music intensifies]

UNSPEAKABLE SINS

[music fades]

Everything usually starts well.

I feel things.

I feel attracted.

But after that…

it doesn't work.

[splutters] I get nervous.

What are you afraid of?

Being a failure.

I don't… and I don't know why,
I think that…

I'm not, uh…

I think it has something to do
with your childhood.

Your dad was incredibly hard on you.

[somber music playing]

According to him, I'm useless.

Worth nothing.

So… so…

-So, maybe I am, you know?
-Nonsense.

None of that is true.

It's not right what your father
has done to you, Octavio.

But everything you feel is reversible.

I want to help you through it.

[music fades]

You lied to me.
You said you got rid of that video.

You're right.

I had to try to get you
off my back somehow.

[Claudio] Helena, are you all right?

We can't continue like this.

Everyone suspects
we don't get along anymore.

I'm doing my best,

but it's a little hard when your b*stard
of a husband is threatening your son.

You're right.

[tense music playing]

That's why
I'm getting rid of this for you.

Is it the video with Fer?

Yes.

I need you to understand that I love you,

and I want to be with you.

We need a relationship built on trust.

[Helena] Your kidnapping was staged.

-You still have all those videos.
-No.

Only Fernando's.

I kept that one in a place
where you wouldn't find it.

The other videos were stolen.

Fernando and I will never
come back to this house with you.

You say that.

But you're staying with me.

First thing, you get rid
of that man sl*t outside.

That's not happening.

You'll sacrifice your own child
for sexual desire?

It's so easy.

Iván or Fernando.

[Livia] Why are you here?

You're here to talk or…?

I'm here with Helena
to pick up some documents.

Ah. And where is she?

She's inside with your father.

-You afraid she'll come back here?
-[chuckles]

I don't think Helena would ever do that.

Hm. Well, she keeps saying he's a monster,
but she never quite seems to go.

Yeah, because he blackmailed her.

Poor Iván.

I feel sorry for you.

My dad provides her
with a certain lifestyle.

So, have fun figuring that one out.

Yeah, Livia,
whatever you're doing isn't working.

Good luck.

[dramatic music playing]

[sighs]

Your dinner's ready.

[cell phone rings]

-Hello?
-[Livia] Rebeca.

It's Livia Martínez.

When I gave you my number,
you said you weren't interested.

Yes, well, things have taken a turn.

I couldn't stop thinking
about you and your son.

Oh, really?

Are you admitting
you're involved with Iván?

No.

But your husband is cheating on you.

Not with me, but my stepmom.

[music fades]

Are you kidding me?
You didn't arrest Claudio and Helena?

Try to stay calm, Ms. Arcadia.

Let the investigation run its course.

What more evidence do you need
to know that those guys are criminals?

My husband committed suicide
because of those two!

Yes, but you need to be patient now.
We're doing what we can!

Good evening.

[sighs]

-That woman is getting on my nerves.
-She's in a lot of pain, Benítez.

Her children have lost their father,

and every day they see
no results from this scandal.

The good news is,
we can finally file a formal complaint

against Helena and Claudio for extortion.

You f*cked yourself, Claudio.

[Iván] You going to tell me
what happened with Claudio?

-I don't want to talk about it yet.
-Don't want to or you can't?

What did he threaten you with now?

Don't pressure me.

Helena, we promised not to have
any more secrets--

We'll talk about it later.
I'm not ready yet.

[tense music playing]

-Hey there. You like video games?
-Yes.

Fer, will you show him one of yours?

Yeah. Come on, Pato.

-No more secrets and lies, huh?
-It's complicated.

-Yes, I imagine.
-I'm trying to protect him.

-[Helena] It's fine.
-Don't pretend anymore, Iván.

I saw it on the news.

I know that you and your family
are involved with crime

and kidnappings, secrets,
and God knows what else.

But my son needs his dad alive.

You have to come home, Iván.

There's nothing between us.
There's no home, there's nothing.

What about Pato?
He may not be biologically yours but--

That's true, but I raised him
since he was a baby.

-I love him and want to take care of him.
-He needs more than your money.

He needs his father back.

You didn't say that
when you kicked me out.

Of course, because I didn't like that
your job was to wh*re around with women.

-Hey, Rebeca.
-Sorry, what?

I let you do it
because it improved our lives.

My commitment is to Patricio,
it's not to you.

Instead of trying
to emotionally manipulate him,

maybe you should be grateful
a good man wants to take care of your son.

You're giving advice to me?

A married woman involved with Iván?

Aren't you ashamed
what your son will think?

You don't know me.

You have no idea
what I've done to protect my son.

I've done everything, except manipulate
a man who's not even my son's father,

to take care of him.

Pato!

Pato, we're leaving!

Say goodbye to Iván.
You won't see him again.

-What happened, Daddy?
-Nothing. Don't worry about it.

Your daddy seems to prefer
this family to ours.

-Rebeca, no.
-Let's go.

-What's wrong, Daddy?
-Nothing. Everything will be fine.

-We'll see each other soon. I promise.
-[Rebeca] We're leaving.

How many times did I tell you
not to trust this as*h*le?

[Rebeca] Come on, Pato.

-[door closes]
-Fer…

Helena and I
had some legal matters to settle.

[Livia] I don't believe you.

-Iván was very nervous.
-Because he's a liar.

All he wants
is to get a handout from Helena.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Sir, Rafael Barrientos is here to see you.

[Claudio] Let him in.

-Sir, you can… But…
-Go away.

[Livia scoffs]

-This is a surprise, Rafa.
-[Rafael] Cut the bullshit, all right?

You know perfectly well why I'm here.

Excuse me?
How dare you talk to my dad like that?

I'm sorry, honey. Not everyone
has the same upbringing as we do.

Just give us a few moments alone.

Excuse me.

-[door closes]
-Want a whiskey?

No.

I'm not here to socialize.

The last time I saw you was in Valle,

and somehow I ended up in the middle
of one of your f*cking extortion schemes.

Relax there, cowboy.
We can talk about this like men.

Cut the crap.

-[sighs]
-Tell me the truth.

Do you have those videos
or were they stolen

by the kidnappers
who should have k*lled you.

Rafa, I'm not your enemy.
After all, I raised your son.

Do you even realize
that you're evading my question?

And that can only mean one thing.

You don't have that video.

-You have nothing.
-Except Fernando.

Governor, does he know you're his father,
or should I tell him myself?

Do you know that he's a drug addict?

He'll probably OD
when he finds out you're his dad.

I'm not interested in your version
of the truth or Fernando's.

-Mm.
-You can't blackmail me with that.

And public opinion?

What will voters think when they find out
you left a pregnant woman

because she didn't want
to abort your child?

Don't you dare use that.

If you do,
I swear I'll end your f*cking life.

Do I hear a hint of a threat?

It'll be like the first time
you were found dead.

Except, if I k*ll you,
you'll stay that way.

[Iván] I never met his biological father.

But he took off when Pato was very little.

Like my son's father.

[Iván] I'm not like the others, Helena.

-It wasn't my intention to hide Pato--
-You don't have to explain.

I know that children come
before anything else in this world.

Right now, your main preoccupation

is Pato.

You have to make sure
she lets you see him again.

Of course I'll fight for him,
but I'm also fighting for us.

[emotional music playing]

I love you.

I have to talk to Fernando.

INCOMING CALL
UNKNOWN

[phone ringing]

Hello?

It's me.

[tense music playing]

I've reported you to the cops.

You can't call me.
You're not allowed near me, Antonio.

I saw you with Iván.

You were all over him,
and I swear if you don't listen to me--

[Livia] Are you threatening me?

You're aware that
what you did to me was ill*gal?

-I don't enjoy being abused.
-That wasn't what I wanted, Livia.

I would never hurt you.

There are a lot of things you don't know,
and I need you to listen for once.

I don't give a sh*t.

-You were the one who kidnapped my father.
-Because someone told me to.

The same person is leaking those videos.

If you don't want to see me after this,

I'll stay away from you forever,

but let me tell you the truth
from the beginning.

All you have to do is meet with me.

-[gasps] You startled me.
-[chuckles]

You're beautiful in my eyes.

-I'd better get dressed.
-No, wait, no.

No, no. I don't want to have sex with you.

I want you to feel safe.

[Octavio exhales deeply]

Just try and enjoy the tenderness.

[uneasy music playing]

That's it.

[music fades]

[Claudio] Livia.

[Livia sighs]

-[knocks]
-Can I come in?

Did you also record that guy
who was just here?

Who are you? Really?

Livia, don't be like that.

Things are changing.

I'm rearranging what's necessary.

-I promise you everything's gonna be fine.
-No, nothing is fine.

When you came back to us, I thought
things would change or be different, but…

-Listen…
-I just want to go back to Tulum.

Livia, listen to me.

It's important that you stay here.

-I need you.
-I'm so… tired.

I have Antonio calling me,
and I just want it all to stop.

I'm so sick of all of this.

Antonio's looking for you again?

Livia.

I'm here.

Please, love.

You have to trust me now.

I want to help you.

-Okay?
-[sniffles]

[Livia sighs]

Let me be your dad.

Thanks for being so understanding.

Maybe some other time
we could arrange to stay at a hotel.

I'd like that.

Whatever you'd like.

You're welcome here whenever you wish.

Thank you.

I had a great time, Fedra.

Thanks for being so patient.

[tense music playing]

[door opens]

Am I interrupting?

Honey!

How are you?
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

[door closes]

You remember Octavio?

Octavio, how are you?

Hello, Ximena.

-Things are good?
-Yeah, great.

[Octavio] I was just leaving.

Welcome home.

-Yeah, thanks.
-[Octavio] Okay.

-See you soon.
-Of course. See you around, Ximena.

One of these days.

Have a good night.

[Dora] What do you plan to do?

They won't forgive me
for having a son I've never acknowledged.

[inhales]

What if you surprise them?

How?

Should I have a press conference
to introduce my son?

No.

What about getting close to Fernando?

With the truth out in the open.

-No.
-You get your son back.

And the blackmail doesn't exist.

No, I never supported him,
never acknowledged him.

-What do I even say?
-[sighs]

My father never accepted me.

In fact, he was very cruel.

But I'd love to have a chance
to make things right.

Yes, but I don't think
Fernando wants to know me.

If you don't try, you'll never know.

Apologize to him.

Not because of any threat from Claudio,

but because he's your child.

So, it's obvious you and Octavio
have something going on.

I saw you guys kissing.

That only happened today.

Uh-huh.

You don't have to believe me,
but I'm telling the truth.

I guess you're doing it
to get back at Claudio.

[sighs] Ah, you're so immature.

Claudio and Octavio are fighting.

It's best to have him on my side.

Mom, this is all getting a little crazy.

A dead prosecutor, Claudio escaping…

That's why I'm here.

I know that's why you're here.
I was hoping to avoid that, but listen.

I'm very worried about
getting you involved with those videos.

I'm a systems engineer.

Believe me, I left no trace
of the videos I uploaded.

[sighs]

But kidnapping is another matter entirely.

-If Antonio betrays you--
-Antonio would never do that.

-How can you be sure?
-Because he's loyal.

-And he can be trusted.
-Hm.

[suspenseful music playing]

SEARCH CONTACTS
PHONE

[tires screeching]

[breathing heavily]

You think my daughter would come to you
after everything you did?

What the f*ck are you doing here?

[g*nsh*t]

[groans]

[Antonio wailing]

[coughs]

[grunts]

[breathing shakily]

Livia told me everything.

[groans]

[music fades]

Morning, Fer.

I'm cooking breakfast for you two.

You should be
making breakfast for your son.

Fer, um, I've talked to your mom about it,

and I'm gonna make it better, okay?

There's something else worrying me.

Claudio showed her something
when we were over there

which made her very upset.

-Did you ask her what it was?
-She wouldn't tell me.

It had to be serious because
then they agreed to talk privately after.

Do you think you can ask her about it?

She didn't tell me where she was going.
She left early.

She said she had
something important to do.

[intriguing music playing]

[Rafael] Helena.

[Helena] What's so important
that you have to tell me in person?

Sit down.

Claudio has threatened to expose me
as Fernando's father.

Look, I don't care about your voters.

I don't care about your campaign
or your politics.

But Claudio cannot tell Fernando.

He also told me
that Fernando is an addict.

-Is that true?
-None of your business.

All you have to do is make sure
Claudio stays away from Fer.

You hear me?

We can't allow him to hurt our son again.

What? What do you mean by that?

What does it matter?

You all of a sudden
care that you have a son?

Look, it's one thing
to not want to be part of his life,

but it's quite another if he's being hurt.

[chuckles]

Father of the year award. Very good.

[chuckles]

I know, Helena.

Claudio wants to screw us both.

If you tell me everything,
maybe I can help you with Fernando.

I already told you, my love.
Antonio never showed up.

But if he wasn't going to show up,
why didn't he cancel the meeting?

I don't know.

Maybe he thought you'd arrive
with a bunch of police and he got scared.

Or maybe he saw
that you were there and he fled, um…

And now he wants to get back at me

or maybe Octavio.

Someone he knows I care about.

I promised I'd take care of you.

[uneasy music playing]

Thank you.

It's been a long time
since I heard from Antonio.

Do not call.
The police are probably tracing his phone.

I gave him another cell.
They'll have no way of knowing.

If he was arrested,
the police will find his phones.

-Better to just wait and see what happens.
-[sighs]

This is taking such a toll.

This is not a life.

I loved my brother too. Mm?

But we have to get on with our lives.

Now, let's just forget this, okay?

Why don't you come back with me?

No, I made a promise to your brother
and I want to keep it.

With or without you, Ximena.

Claudio has to pay.

[music fades]

Livia.

-Good morning.
-Good morning. How are you?

I'm looking for your father,
but I'm told he's not here.

Um, I was just with him,
I thought he already came in, so…

No, he's not here.

If you can please tell him
to report to the police station.

We want to ask him some questions.

-Does it have to do with the kidnapping?
-He can tell you about that.

Do you know where Mrs. Helena Rivas is?

Yes, she's staying with Iván Díaz.

Hm. Good.

Okay.

Thank you. Have a good day.

-Bye.
-[tense music playing]

Fedra, did you tell Rebeca
about my relationship with Helena?

Me?

You think I have time
to be gossiping with everyone

about your personal affairs?

-Then it had to be Livia.
-Livia?

Yeah, she knows about Pato
and thinks I'm with Rebeca.

I didn't see the point
in explaining the whole situation.

And why is Livia interested
in messing in your life?

-Iván, don't tell me you two had a fling.
-No, no, no, no.

Please, Fedra, I'm in love with Helena.

-Hm.
-[sighs]

Everything is going to sh*t.

Claudio's up to his old tricks
and I know he's pressuring Helena.

-With what?
-I don't know yet.

She didn't want to say.

I don't want to lose her.

I don't think I could live with that.

I've told you a million times,

you have to stay away
from the Martínez family.

You can't let what they do affect you,
but you can always count on me.

Thank you.

I'm looking for your mom. Is she here?

No, she left early this morning
and hasn't come back yet.

Oh.

Okay. No worries.

Please tell her I need
to speak with her when she gets back.

It's important she reports to the station.

-It's urgent, please, okay?
-[phone ringing]

One second.

-What's happening?
-[Benítez] They found a dead body.

They're sure it's Magic.
You need to come here as soon as you can.

Uh, yes, fine, I'll be there right away.

Uh, it-- I've got to go.

You just make sure
you give your mom that message. Okay?

It's very uncharacteristic
for Magic to be missing all day.

He's not even answering his phone.
Something very strange is going on here.

Magic is obsessed with those videos.

Why is that important to you?

Well,

I think he went looking for my father.

I'm not saying that Iván
is a bad person, okay?

But you treat him as if he was your son.

As if he was Ariel, and it's not right.

I thought you were a systems engineer.
Since when you're a psychologist too?

[chuckles] Touché.

[Fedra] Maybe you're right.

My relationship with Iván started off as…

-Let's say, he's a tasty little morsel.
-sh*t!

TMI. God.

But then I realized
that Iván is a really good person.

He really cares.

He doesn't realize the risks
of messing with Claudio and Helena.

And you don't want him
ending up like Ariel.

That's why I need you to help me.

We need something more definitive
to get him away from Helena.

[tense music playing]

Rebeca, you can't keep me
from seeing Pato.

Why can't I? I'm his mother.

You may not accept my relationship,
but that has nothing to do with my son.

-I've always taken care of him.
-I don't care about the money you give us.

I don't want your dirty money.
I'll figure out another way to get by.

You will never see my son again.

I don't want him near that family.
They're all psychos!

Rebeca, please, I will do
everything I can to make sure--

-I don't believe in your promises anymore.
-Rebeca.

[camera clicks,
followed by high-pitched whine]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Sofía] Yeah, that's Magic.

There's no way this was a coincidence.

Anyone could've k*lled him.

Right after Claudio shows up?

So, why do you think
the Martínezes wanted him dead?

Well, Benítez, try to think about it.

What if Octavio told the truth?

He testified that Magic and the late DA
threatened him, that he was tortured.

They forced him to lie and say

the body they cremated
was, in fact, his father's body.

If you thought you could f*ck with me
without consequences,

you're just as stupid as your dad.

-[metallic snap]
-[screams in pain]

A family of beggars.

I gave you a roof over your head,
a job, and this is how I'm repaid?

By making alliances
with someone to f*ck me over?

[screams in pain]

Who was it? Who ordered my kidnapping?

[staple g*n fires]

[Antonio grunts]

RECYCLING

Tell IT that, as soon as the presentation
is finished, to put it on all the screens.

Yes, miss. Excuse me.

Ah, no! What are you doing here?

-Hello! I didn't know you were in Mexico.
-How are you?

-You look great.
-I came to visit my mom.

-But also wanted to see how you were.
-Yay!

Wow…

-You've really changed.
-[chuckles]

Guess you're not doing
your "Environmental Warrior" thing.

I'm still on my "Save the Planet" vibe,

and I'm trying to help Dad improve
the company's environmental measures.

Well, that's great.

Excuse me, someone's here to see you.
They say it's urgent.

All right. Give me a second
and I'll be back, okay?

-Yes, of course.
-Don't leave before we talk.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Antonio breathing heavily]

There's still time for me
not to k*ll you, so talk.

Tell me who ordered my kidnapping, mm?

Who was it?

INCOMING CALL
UNKNOWN NUMBER

[fateful music playing]

[Fedra] Antonio, can you hear me?

[Antonio panting]

I haven't heard from you since yesterday.

Where are you? Are you all right?

It's my daughter.

-Antonio?
-[panting]

Livia… Livia.

No, it's not Livia, it's Fedra.

[tense sting]

-Fedra.
-[Fedra] Are you all right?

What's wrong?

[call disconnects]

f*cking b*tch!

[grunting]

So Fedra hired you to kidnap me,
is that it?

Mm? I'm going to k*ll that b*tch.

Did she give you the order?

-Mm?
-No.

No?

Fedra must be very upset
about what happened to Ariel.

He k*lled himself because of you,
you b*stard.

Ah, you know about his suicide.

[Antonio] The video.

-[breathing shakily]
-[Claudio] The video.

Hm.

[Antonio breathing shakily]

You've given me
all the information I need, my friend.

You're gonna pay for everything you did,
you son of a b*tch!

[Livia] Antonio is a fugitive now and…

to tell you the truth, I'm really scared.

Wow.

Tell IT that I've just sent the video.

Thank you.

Why the hell did you tell
Rebeca about Helena?

I was just, uh, leaving.

[tense music playing]

-Let me know if you need anything?
-Hmm.

[exhales]

I trusted you,

but it turns out
that Martínez blood runs deep.

Thought you were different
than your piece-of-sh*t dad.

No, we call it a family.

Something you have no idea about.

Spare me, Livia.

You've no idea what you're talking about.
Rebeca and I have nothing between us.

Nothing! And after what you pulled,
I'm not even allowed to see Pato.

No one wants to be around a family
full of psychopaths.

I'm so sick and tired
of you blaming us for your bullshit.

You blame me, my dad, and Octavio.

You want me to believe
you're so perfect and good.

Look, if you didn't want trouble,

you would've had the ba*ls
to tell the truth from the get-go.

-Where's Claudio?
-[secretary] He hasn't come in yet.

-Should I call?
-Yes, please.

RECYCLING

What's this?

An idea from Ms. Livia
regarding the way we recycle.

Did you do the same to Rebeca
when she didn't agree?

You just walked out on her?

Lower your voice.

Why does she know about Rebeca?

[Iván and Helena
breathing heavily on video]

[suspenseful music playing]
