01x13 - The Scandal

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music playing]

[coroner] The male victim
was stabbed repeatedly.

Most of the wounds inflicted
were to his vital organs.

Mm-hm. What about the m*rder weapon?
Do we have anything?

No, not yet, no.

UNSPEAKABLE SINS

[line ringing]

I did what you asked me to.

[call disconnects]

[Fedra sighs]

By now, everyone in the company will have
seen the video of Helena f*cking Iván.

[line ringing]

-Okay, good.
-What is it?

It's going the way you wanted,
aren't you glad?

[call disconnects]

Oh, honey, you're gonna k*ll me.

I couldn't take it anymore,
so I called Antonio.

-I told you not to do that, Mom!
-I know.

Why didn't you wait
for him to contact you?

I don't know! I guess I'm just stupid.

But look, honey, I'm sorry.
I know I shouldn't have called.

Antonio might have been caught
by the police or someone else.

What have you done?

Care to explain what's going on here?
That video was recorded at your house.

-You think I had something to do with it?
-Who else?

I don't know.
But-- But why do you think I'd do it?

I don't know what to think.
I'm at a loss here.

Helena, maybe it was Claudio.

He didn't even know you existed
when that was recorded.

I don't get what's going on either,
none of it!

Someone must have snuck into my apartment.

-Are you f*cking kidding me?
-It's possible! Helena!

Guys, stop! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

I have no idea how that video
ended up in the presentation.

[Iván] You have no idea?

-No.
-What if it was you, Livia?

-What?
-Yeah, you put the camera in there.

I didn't even know
there was a video of you two.

Why would she do that, Iván?

-To separate us.
-To separate us?

-That's what Claudio wants.
-Enough! I've had it!

This isn't about Claudio.
You guys make me sick, you know that?

[Iván breathes heavily]

Look…

No, Livia and Claudio
have nothing to do with this.

The more I go over it in my head,
I can't come up with another explanation.

Yeah, well, I can't explain it either.
Why can't you f*cking believe me?

-[sighs]
-Helena!

No, no, you know what?

No matter how much we want to be together,
it's just not gonna work, Iván.

You believe that? Look at me.
You think I recorded that video?

It's not just the videos.
It's more than that.

-It's your son, my son--
-I wanted to protect my son.

How do I protect my son?!

How do I protect him from a f*cking
sex tape starring his stark naked mother?

-How can I protect Fernando?
-Helena!

-Don't touch me!
-For f*ck's sake!

You think I would do this to him?
To you? To me?!

-Helena…
-You know what? Listen to me.

-It's best if we just end this now.
-No.

-Yeah.
-No, no, Helena.

-Please don't.
-Look at me, look at me.

Tell me you're doing this
because of that video

and not because Claudio threatened you.

Tell me.

[somber music playing]

-Helena.
-I've made my decision. Respect it.

-Helena. Helena!
-I'm getting out of your house.

[sighs]

[door closes]

[sniffles]

[music fades]

[cell phone vibrates]

THE LAWYER

Yes, hello? Got any news?

Magic has been m*rder*d.

I just got confirmation of it from
a contact I have at police headquarters,

and I bet you anything
it was your f*cking father who did it.

My father may be a prick,
but I doubt he'd actually k*ll someone.

Hey, look, you said so yourself.

Magic was obsessed with getting his hands
on those videos your dad recorded

to blackmail people with.

That doesn't mean my dad k*lled the guy.

Magic must have gone
looking for him alone.

Claudio took the opportunity
to get rid of him.

[tense music playing]

[cell phone rings]

What's up, honey?

Dad, where are you?

I had to go out and take care
of some unfinished business.

The police were here looking for you.

They probably wanted to ask me
more questions about the kidnapping.

That's not all.

There was another video
of Iván and Helena doing it.

All of our employees saw it,
and now it's up on the internet.

Where's Helena?

She's in her office.

I'm on my way.

[music fades]

[Arcadia] "That lady sure loves sex."

"You can tell that hot mama loves it."

"I want a woman who'll f*ck me this good."

Ever since they leaked my video,

I've lost all respect.

My wife kicked me out.

My kids are getting bullied.

My only hope is that Helena

dies of embarrassment
when her son sees it.

His mom f*cking screwing
a male prost*tute.

[phone clicking]

INCOMING CALL
MOM

[cell phone vibrates]

Mom?

What the hell's going on?

What do you mean by that?

I don't know, you tell me.
I'm getting all these texts about you.

-And now someone just sent me a video.
-Don't look at it.

-Don't look at or open anything, okay?
-Why?

Mom, tell me. I have a right
to know what the f*ck's happening!

A very intimate video has been leaked.

It's a video of me having sex with Iván.

What?

I didn't know we were being filmed,
I swear to you.

And I don't know
who's behind this f*cking sh*t.

Please forgive me.

We're getting out of the house, okay?

I need you to pack up all of our stuff
and get in a taxi,

and go to the address I'm gonna give you.

No! Where are we gonna go this time?

To the only place I know we'll be safe.

[music fades]

[Fedra] Hi.

What are you doing here?

I didn't want to go up
in case Helena was there.

No, she's not.

-What's happened? You look so serious.
-Come off it, Fedra.

You know exactly what's been happening.

-Clients are calling me non-stop.
-Of course they will.

My friends are nervous. They're worried
they'll end up on those tapes.

I did not record Helena or anyone else.

I know, don't worry.
I know you'd never do anything so risky.

At first I thought it was Claudio,
but Helena's right.

He didn't even know about me
when that whole thing was recorded.

Besides, he has no way of getting in.

[tense sting]

What?

You knew, though.

-[tense music playing]
-You have a spare key to this house.

[reporter 1] Mrs. Rivas, over here!

[reporter 2] Make sure
you get a side angle.

[reporters speak indistinctly]

-[reporter 3] Mrs. Rivas!
-[reporter 4] Mrs. Rivas…

[reporter 5] What can you tell me
about the tape?

[reporters clamoring]

[Claudio] Excuse me, let me through.

Mr. Martínez, are you suing for divorce?

No, no, no.
No, we are not getting divorced.

No way in hell.

This is a very difficult time
for my family,

so I would ask that you show
some consideration and respect.

Helena made a mistake.

She was tricked by a con artist.

He recorded that video
without her knowledge or her consent.

In the last few days,
some of the media have accused us

of being the ones who leaked the video
of District Attorney Pablo Morales.

Clearly, after what has transpired today,
we had nothing to do with it.

My wife was also a victim

of those degenerates
who released those videos.

We ask the authorities
to launch a thorough investigation

and bring those responsible to justice.

Thank you very much.

[reporters shouting indistinctly]

Thank you very much.
Thank you. Thanks, everyone.

Excuse me.

Oh my God, how could you think
that I would do that?

All I've ever done
is love and protect you.

[Iván] That's exactly why.

You've never condoned
my relationship with Helena.

That's why you recorded that video.

It's all your fault
that Helena broke up with me!

No. Wait just a minute here, Iván.
I didn't do anything.

This is exactly
what Helena and Claudio would do.

-I told you already, Claudio didn't do it.
-Then Helena did it!

What are you talking about?

I've told you a thousand times,
Helena's capable of anything.

She's the one who came up with the idea
of filming Claudio to blackmail him,

and now she's doing it to you.

-She recorded you to ruin your life.
-No, you're wrong!

No, no, because it ruined hers as well!

Who knows?

Maybe someone came across that video
and used it against her.

Maybe it was Claudio.

You told me that Helena
was hiding something from him, right?

He must have found it
and decided to release it.

[cell phone rings]

Hello?

Your naked a*s
is now famous on the internet, Iván!

You'll have horny old ladies
calling you night and day.

You'll get a lot of job offers!

Uh, Rebeca, Rebeca.

Don't yell, okay? Pato'll be upset.

If I already had a reason
not to let you see him,

believe me, now I've got a bunch more.

Ah, f*cking hell!

-Fer, where you going?
-Leave me alone.

-Fer, I can explain. Wait.
-[Fer grunts]

Everyone's harassing me
about this f*cking video!

Why the f*ck did you do it? Huh?

I didn't do it.

Don't go near my mother ever again, okay?

I don't care what you say.
That video was shot in your house!

You're nothing but a prick, like Claudio.

[engine starts]

[Claudio] Whatever happens,
you can count on me.

-[Helena] Stop the car.
-Come on.

-Stop the car.
-Okay!

I only got in the car to escape the press.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

I did what you asked.

I broke up with Iván
because of the video you have of Fer.

I don't understand
what you were doing with that as*h*le.

That as*h*le loves me.

Not like you,
who just humiliates and threatens me.

You know we have
a one-of-a-kind connection.

-When we're together, no one can stop us.
-We're not the same anymore.

Please, I need you to come back to me
and I know you need me too, Helena.

I need you, and all the sh*t you carry,
to go away and leave me in peace.

Listen to me.

-Please, come on, Helena! Listen to me.
-Let go of me, Claudio.

-[thud]
-[Antonio] Help!

Help!

[tense music playing]

Help me!

[music fades]

Why'd you ask me to come to the house?
You don't like us meeting here.

I need you right now.

If it wasn't so important,
I wouldn't have called.

Thank you.

My mom told me to come here.

I think we met before?

Yes, at the hospital,
after Helena was injured.

My mom around?

-I thought she'd already be here.
-I'm sure she's on her way.

This is Dora.

Welcome.

-Nice to meet you.
-You too. Thanks.

Sir, why did you just leave me
standing there

when I asked you if you knew my mother?

-How do you know each other?
-[tense music playing]

[Antonio] Help me! [grunts]

Help!

[Antonio grunts]

Help!

[gasps]

Please, don't!

[music fades]

Thank you.

Hello, Helena.

Aren't you…?

Dora.

I was in the video with Rafael.

Dora, look, uh… About that…

-No, it's okay.
-[footsteps]

[Fer] Mom?

Where were you?
What were you talking about?

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

Nothing in particular.
I just showed him around the house.

I'll leave you three alone.

Mom, why are we here?

Because Rafael's an old friend of mine.

But we saw him on TV once
and you said you didn't know who he was.

We were upset with each other.

Because of Claudio
and his bullshit, right?

-You know what it's like.
-Hm.

But he can protect us. He has the means.

Claudio would never think
to look for you both at my house.

Besides, I have security.

Closed-circuit cameras,
and no one enters without my consent.

Claudio won't stop until he finds us.
You know what he's like, don't you?

I can't leave the country
because of the investigation.

-Will you be arrested?
-No. Everything'll be fine.

When this is all over, we'll go away.

I'm sorry, Ximena. It's just that
there was a huge problem at the office.

This video… started playing
during my presentation.

A video of what?

Of Helena and Iván f*cking.

I didn't do it!

I don't even know who that guy is.

No, no, no.
No, I know it wasn't you, relax.

I just wanted to ask
if you happened to see

anyone coming into the office
after I left you there.

Anyone.

No.

Well, just Iván,
that's what you said his name was.

He came in
and started asking you questions.

-[sighs]
-Speaking of whom, I wanted to ask you.

What's going on with him?

Mm.

I really like him a lot.

[intriguing music playing]

No… I can't stop thinking about him.

[scoffs]

I'm such an idiot. I know.

So what?
Why don't you tell him how you feel?

Because he's f*cking
my stepmother, Ximena.

-Ah!
-I think that's a pretty good reason.

Really?

-Really.
-You've never gotten along with Helena.

Besides, she's not exactly a saint either.

I mean, she's the reason
your parents' marriage ended, right?

Sounds to me like karma.

Ka-- Karma?

Are you saying I should fight for him?

Well, if you like him that much.

I would do it.
He might feel the same way as you.

Go for it.

[music fades]

Helena, call me back, please.

I can't just pretend
nothing happened between us.

[knocking on door]

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

[Iván sighs]

Now what?

-You here to piss me off some more?
-Just chill, all right, Iván?

You treated me so badly at the office.

I'm not playing the victim, okay?

Livia, you discussed
my personal life with Rebeca.

I can't see my son because of you.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

I guess I really

messed up, okay?

I wanted to see how you're doing
with the whole video thing.

How I'm doing?

Are you f*cking kidding me?
I'm just great!

I've searched the whole place
from top to bottom

looking for that hidden camera.

All my clients are calling me non-stop
asking me if I filmed them too.

So, yeah,
everything is just f*cking great.

I swear to you on my mom's life,

and all that's sacred to me,
I had nothing to do with that video.

It doesn't matter.

Helena basically told me to go to hell.

I'm sorry.

That's the truth.

[tense music playing]

Wait, what are you doing here?

I'm here to help you.

I owe you one.

I'll never forget what you did for me
when Magic kidnapped us.

Can I get you a beer?

Sure.

[music fades]

You do realize all of this happened
while I was kidnapped, don't you?

That may be, but the evidence shows

that these videos were recorded
at your house in Valle de Bravo.

Someone could have put
those cameras there without me knowing it.

Sorry, but you've been accused
of using them to blackmail people.

But wouldn't that be
Hugo's word against mine?

He's lying, I tell you.

Why the hell would he lie about that?

Because he's stupid?

Hugo and I have had our,
you could say, differences.

I think this is just
his way of getting revenge.

Detective, a sex video
of my wife was leaked today.

Do you honestly think I'd post that
and make myself look like an as*h*le?

And Magic was m*rder*d.

-So what?
-[tense music playing]

He was involved
in your supposed death, Martínez.

Maybe you should go talk to my son.

He's the one who conspired
with his friends, Magic and Pablo,

to make everyone believe I was dead.

Are you blaming your own son?

No, no. I never said that, no.

What I'm saying is that my son

was the one who had dealings
with that miserable piece of sh*t.

You're so tense, hon.

[Octavio sighs]

There.

-Sorry, I can't help thinking about it.
-What?

If all those guys who worked for Magic
want revenge,

they're gonna come looking for me.
I'll be the first they wanna k*ll off.

Relax.

Don't think.

Let your mind go blank, okay?

Free your mind of all your problems.

No, Fedra. Sorry, no.

I don't want it to happen again.

I'm not ready.

It's okay.

When you're ready, you'll know.

[Livia] Hey!

Staring at your phone
isn't going to make her magically call.

Think about something else!

I wish it was that easy.

I've got something that'll help.

No! [laughs]

No, no, no. I see you haven't stopped
being Narco Junior, huh?

[Livia] Hm.

-That was a misunderstanding, okay?
-Ah…

The project was medicinal,

and you know how backwards
the police and press are.

They didn't get it.

Come on.

Take two hits.

It'll help you!

Take it!

[coughing]

[laughs]

What are you? 90 years old?

-I'm not a big smoker.
-[chuckles]

[Iván coughs]

So?

This is how you deal with the crap
that goes on in your family?

No. No, all the pot in the world

couldn't help me get over
or deal with the death of my mother.

No, this is just…

like an anesthetic.

Nothing more.

All right, come on!

Let's, uh, change the mood
around here, okay?

[chuckles]

[sultry music playing]

I told you we needed to get out of here.

-The jerk screwed you with the video.
-It isn't the time to talk about it.

When will it be?
Don't you think they've seen it already?

I know a lot of people who have,
and they're harassing me.

They want your number.
Do I give it to them?

That's enough.

On a positive note,

the attorney I recommended
to your mother is the best,

and he'll help her
fight these charges against her.

The only way to get out
of this stupid mess,

is to get on a f*cking plane

and go somewhere
where nobody can f*ck with us!

I'll try and calm him down.

What are we gonna do with Fernando?

Look, Rafael, I'm really grateful to you
for letting us stay here,

but Fernando is my son.

[dramatic music playing]

Okay.

-[knocking on door]
-[Claudio] Who is it?

-[Hugo] Claudio, it's me.
-Come in.

Hugo.

I'm really glad you came.

Come on,
we've worked together for too long.

Let's be civil, shall we?

-That's what I want.
-Have a seat.

[Hugo clears throat]

[Claudio sighs]

Claudio, what exactly do you want?

I want you to go back to work.

The company needs you, you b*stard.

What do you say?

Are you serious?

[laughs]

Oh, Hugo, why are you such an as*h*le, hm?

Listen. I'm going to tell you
exactly what's gonna happen here.

You are going to go directly to the police

and withdraw all charges
against Helena and me.

Then you're gonna pack up

and go back to the f*cking
one-horse town that you came from,

because if I ever see you again,
you're going to end up like Magic.

So Magic is dead?

I took care of him myself.

[tense music playing]

[g*n safety clicks off]

Claudio, take it easy, will you?

If you go against me, you're f*cked.

Take it easy.

"Claudio, take it easy"?

-Yes.
-"Claudio, sorry, Claudio"?

"Claudio, I didn't mean
to do anything I did, Claudio"?

-Mm?
-Put the g*n down, please.

Okay, fine. It's all good.

All right, you can go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything's fine.

[Hugo grunts and groans]

[Claudio sighs]

[door opens]

[music fades]

[sultry reggaeton music playing]

[laughs]

-What? Too tired to dance?
-[laughs]

[Iván] No, no, I can't!

See how much better you feel now?

I-- I feel like I'm in between
mellow and happy…

[laughs] I can't think anymore.

-[Livia laughs]
-Can't.

That's what it's for.

So you can recharge your batteries.

-Feel better…
-Livia…

Iván…

-What are you doing?
-[chuckles]

Aren't you supposed to be
the expert in pleasing

and making women forget their problems?

Don't you think it's time someone
took care of you for a change, Iván?

-Livia…
-[moans]

[sultry music playing]

[exhales]

[Livia moaning]

[breathing heavily]

[moaning]

[Iván] Helena, we can't let Claudio
get away with this sh*t.

The best thing we can do right now
is to stay together, the three of us.

You, me, and Fernando.

I love you.

[coroner] The victim suffered
numerous forms of t*rture.

There are multiple contusions,
abrasions, and injuries all over his body.

He also suffered
blunt force trauma to the head,

but the cause of death
was the g*nsh*t wound.

Hm. Okay.

-Thanks for the information.
-You're welcome.

To me, this looks like retaliation.

The body was found on a road
outside of the city.

He had a knife on him.

It still had traces
of Magic's blood on it.

There were imperfections on the blade
that match the wounds on his body.

Magic's g*ons must have captured him,

then tortured and k*lled him
as payback for k*lling their boss.

Hm… no.

No, no, that doesn't make sense.

No, Antonio would have had
no reason to m*rder Magic.

There's something else.

I'm sure of it.

[uneasy music playing]

[tense sting]

[music fades]

What do you mean
you're withdrawing the charges?

The posting of Helena's video
made me realize

there's no way
they could've been behind all this.

In your statement,
you said they were involved in extortion!

-I know, yes, but I lied to you.
-[Sofía sighs]

I was furious because
I thought they were behind it all.

I wanted to see them go to jail for it.

No, hold on, hold on.

Mr. Montero, please,
I want to be clear about something here.

I hope you're aware
that you could go to prison

for making so many false statements.

Yes.

Yes, I am aware of that.

I will assume all responsibility.

Tell me the truth, for God's sakes.

Is someone threatening you,
making you recant your statement?

[sighs]

-A quick one, okay? I've gotta go soon.
-Sure, I can make you a quick coffee.

One coffee, yeah. I don't want to run
into Ximena. It's awkward.

Oh, come on, we're adults.

We don't have
to explain ourselves to anyone.

[tense sting]

[suspenseful music playing]

It's a picture of Ariel.

But it was over there.

Good morning.

Good morning. Hi, Ximena.

What's the matter?

Someone broke your brother's picture.
Was it you?

No.

-Then someone broke into the house.
-[phone vibrating]

Sorry. Oh!

Excuse me, I've got to take this.

[clears throat] Yes, hello?

[The Lawyer] Antonio was found dead.

Just found out from my contact
in the police department.

Oh, sh*t.

Well, I guess that's good news in a way.

Antonio won't be
bothering my sister anymore.

The police think
Antonio's the guy who m*rder*d Magic.

What? Why would they think that?
It doesn't make any sense.

Come see me, Octavio.

I need to talk to you
about some urgent business.

It can't be done over the phone.

What is it? Did they find Antonio?

Yes, but apparently he was found dead.

Now they're saying
he's the one who k*lled Magic.

[tense sting]

[knocking on door]

Hello. What are you doing here?

I could ask you the same thing.
Where is Iván?

He's still sleeping.

Last night, he was…

Do you want a coffee?

Helena.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music ends]
