01x14 - Disillusionment

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music playing]

[Helena] Your messages made it seem
you were having such a hard time.

I imagine you sent them
while dealing with her.

-Did you expect he'd cry himself to sleep?
-Livia, stay out of this.

It's not your business.

How is this not my business?

You got over me pretty quickly,
didn't you?

And with Claudio's daughter? Seriously?

You're no victim, Helena.
You're not my mother, you're just a wh*re.

A what?

Aren't you married to my dad?

I never tried to be your mother, Livia.

But it's pretty pathetic how you compete
for your dad's attention and now this.

Iván! Where are you going?

She dumped you! Think about that!

[Iván] Helena, Helena!

-Hey!
-Don't touch me. Get off.

-I really f*cked up.
-Yes, you really did!

I was upset.
I drank some beers and smoked some pot.

-I was out of my mind!
-I don't need excuses.

I ended this. You do whatever you want.
But with Livia?

She came to support me. As a friend.

One thing led to another.
It meant nothing to us. Okay?

-That's all that happened.
-Tell me, when did it all start?

It didn't start.
There's nothing between us. Nothing.

Liar. I noticed you two in the hospital

after you were kidnapped.
That's when it started.

-No. I swear to you.
-I know I'm right.

Livia knew about Rebeca,
but she had fallen for you.

-You're confusing things.
-I'm not confused at all.

I've never been so clear.
I don't want you to come looking for me.

-You understand?
-Helena.

UNSPEAKABLE SINS

[music fades]

[cell phone rings]

-Hello?
-[Claudio] Hey, honey, how are you?

-Where were you last night?
-Dad, don't be controlling, okay?

Just because I came back from Tulum
to stay with you doesn't mean I'm a child.

It's only because I care about you.
I don't wanna see anything bad happen.

[Iván] Livia!

-[tense music playing]
-That Iván?

-Uh, I'll call you later.
-What a f*cking idiot I am!

-I lost Helena! sh*t!
-[Claudio] Livia.

-g*dd*mn it! f*ck!
-Livia!

[line disconnects]

Holy sh*t.

[music ends]

I need to get that IT report today.

-Of course.
-Thank you.

How's the investigation going?

When will Claudio and Helena be arrested?

Sorry, but aren't you aware
of this, Arcadia?

There's no reason for an arrest.

Your friend, Hugo Montero,
withdrew his complaint, so…

[tense music playing]

[Iván] What happened between us
last night was a one-time thing.

It didn't mean anything.

-Please tell me you agree.
-Of course.

Then why would you create trouble
in my relationship with Helena?

You were fast asleep. I went down
to make coffee, and that's all.

You should've told me, but no,
you wanted her to know you were here.

She understands how it all works.

She went after my dad
when he was still married.

My mom k*lled herself because of it.

I don't want any part
of your f*cking revenge.

What happened between us last night

was something
I was really looking forward to.

I like you very much.

You should know that.

-[music fades]
-Antonio didn't k*ll Magic.

He had no motive.

Whoever did this made it look like
they were settling a score of some sort.

Of course, that's it.

Who's the common enemy here?

Claudio hated Antonio for kidnapping him.

And he also hated Magic
for staging his fake m*rder.

Antonio could've said your name
before he died. You know that.

[Fedra sighs]

This was no accident.

It's a threat from Claudio.

He's making it clear that he's on to me.

-You think he broke in?
-If not him, who else?

[tense music playing]

The only person to benefit from the deaths
of Antonio and Magic is your father.

Yes, but…

I know my dad, and he's no k*ller.

There has to be someone else
behind this total madness.

Let's not be naive.
Deep down, you feel the same as I do.

We both know that the time
has run out for your dad.

[music fades]

[Sofía] Antonio was found dead.

[tense music playing]

-Do you know how it happened?
-Not sure.

With Antonio dead,

it'll be much more difficult to find
the people who kidnapped me, won't it?

Is it possible
the people that kidnapped me

also had him k*lled to keep him quiet?

Yeah, it's possible.

I also came to tell you
that Mr. Hugo Montero

withdrew his initial accusation
against you.

Good.

-I'm glad he came to his senses.
-Mm.

-He came across as quite nervous.
-Hm.

Like he was being threatened or coerced.

[tense sting]

Are you insinuating something?

Yes. Ever since our first conversation,

you haven't stopped implying
accusations that are untrue.

It's simply my job to let you know
that I think someone threatened Montero.

If that information bothers you,
that's another matter.

[footsteps approaching]

-Hey, Livia.
-What's going on?

Antonio was found dead.

Huh?

What… What happened?

It's still too early to tell.

But I'm gonna need to ask you
a few questions about Antonio.

You've already taken up
too much of our time.

It'd just take a minute, okay? Livia--

Maybe I wasn't clear.
You've wasted enough of our time.

-Stop harassing us.
-I would, Claudio.

But it seems your family's always involved
when someone gets k*lled!

Your kidnapping,
the videos, all the extortions.

-Cristina's alleged suicide.
-Enough!

Alleged what?
What are you saying? Tell me.

I said get out.

I'll talk with your superiors
and have you charged with harassment.

You can talk to anyone you like.

I'm not afraid of you or your threats
or your ego. And you know it.

-Get the f*ck out!
-Don't you dare touch me!

I still need to interrogate you.
We'll talk soon.

-Get out now!
-[Livia sighs]

[exhales]

You okay?

Hm?

-Hey.
-Mm.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, come. Come here.

Dad is here, hm?

I'm right here.

[music intensifies, then fades]

[footsteps approaching]

[Fer] Where did you go so early?

I went for a walk. I had to clear my head.

[sniffles]

-Mom, you know you can't go walking alone.
-Yeah, I know.

-Claudio could hurt you.
-Yeah.

Why are you crying?

It's just a bunch of things, Fer.
Don't worry.

I'm trying to process it all.
It'll be okay.

[Fer] Be honest with me.

-Is this about Iván?
-No.

-Mom.
-No!

I told you I went for a walk.
I needed some air.

I'm sorry.

Fer, can I borrow your phone charger?
I can't find mine.

-Sure.
-Thank you.

Is there any way I can help you?

[sobs]

[emotional music playing]

It's just that,
as much as I pretend not to care,

seeing Iván with Livia broke my heart.

Rafa told me that your boyfriend
used to work as or is a sex worker.

Obviously, I'm not one to talk,
and I'm not judging at all,

but maybe he was hired by her?

No, no. Paying for sex
is something Livia would never do.

Even if she had,

with Iván?

What was he thinking?
She's my stepdaughter.

Yes, it's a tough situation.

He told me this was
their first time together,

but I don't know if I can trust it.

-Even though I'm the one who ended it.
-And why did you end it?

[exhales] For Claudio.

For reasons I can't tell you
and most definitely can't tell him.

So, the fault lies entirely on Claudio.

And also Iván.

I gave him all these excuses.

I told him it was for his son, for my son.

-For the videos that went public--
-Listen, Helena.

If you're still in love with Iván,

you guys need to talk to each other.

I can't tell you if it's better
to get back together or not,

but if you really love each other,

the only thing you can both do
is be honest.

[music ends]

[Claudio] Don't lie to me.

The voice I heard when we spoke
on the phone was Iván's.

Is that true or not?

-Out with it!
-Yes! I'm not going to hide it anymore.

I was with Iván. Happy?

-Did you sleep together?
-Yes.

-You know he's with Helena.
-They're not together anymore.

Do you really want a sex video
coming out with you in it?

He has nothing to do with those videos!
He's good.

He's a f*cking prost*tute!

He charges women money
to have sex with him!

He does it to support his son, you know?
He's a good dad.

[tense music playing]

Where are you going?

-If you're leaving, ask!
-I'm changing my clothes!

Don't you need me at the office?

-[sighs] Felipe.
-Yes, sir.

Do you still have contacts
with the police?

I do, boss.

I need you to find out everything you can

about Sofía Curiel,
Iván Díaz and his family,

especially his son.

-Keep this between us.
-Of course, boss.

-Go now.
-Yes, sir.

[music fades]

There's no way.

I'm not going anywhere until Claudio pays.

What? Are you waiting
for that b*stard to k*ll you?

That's why I'm staying.
I have to do something before he kills me.

I just thought of something.

You want me to post another video?

We either need someone
very powerful to confront Claudio

or have him k*lled.

And this could be our solution.

[intriguing music playing]

So, what I'm trying to say is that
the agreement that we reached

is gonna be beneficial for both countries.

Now, it's important to understand
that we need to focus on two things.

Would you excuse me for one minute?

This couldn't wait
until the meeting was over?

I'm so sorry, sir,
but you had to see this.

Rafael is powerful enough
to scare Claudio.

Yeah, now that his career
is about to go down the drain.

With this video,
Rafa can do some real damage.

If he finds out
we were the ones who uploaded this,

the real damage will fall on me and you.

You know full well that Rafael's power
is more dangerous than Claudio's.

Oh, my God.

[Dora sobs]

[music fades]

[footsteps approaching]

[uneasy music playing]

Dora, what's wrong? Are you okay?

This is your fault.

You and Claudio recorded these videos.

My relationship with Rafael is over.

No, no, no, no, no.

-It'll be okay. You don't have to worry.
-What are you saying?

Do you think he's ready to admit
that he's involved with a trans woman?

-I have to save him from this.
-No, no, no, no.

You can't jump to conclusions so soon.

The media can be very cruel,

but there's always something else,
and things calm down.

Our relationship was based
on no one knowing about it.

I'm here because I love him.

I spent years in hiding,
but now everything is out in the open.

Forgive me, but I have no idea
who's sending these f*cking videos.

Your apology doesn't change
the way things are.

Dora.

Dora.

[Dora sobs]

f*ck me.

If they exposed a politician like Rafael,
then no one is safe.

I'm sure the next video
to come out will be of me.

And what about Hugo?

Why withdraw his complaint?

He left me a voice message saying
that he was leaving Mexico City and…

and not to call him again.

He was probably threatened.

If no one is gonna do anything
to stop Claudio and Helena,

then it's gonna have to be
up to me and you to stop them for good.

[tense music playing]

Do you know of any jobs? I need money.

I've got to hire a good lawyer
to fight for Pato.

-Rebeca won't let me see him.
-Have a seat.

That may prove to be a little difficult.

Only because you're not
his biological father or legal guardian.

I know all that.

But I raised him,
and he recognizes me as his father.

I have to fight for him, Fedra,
but I'm poor right now.

Well, I don't have to remind you that
with everything happening with Helena,

my friends won't see you.

Um, I can work as anything.

Whatever you need me for.

I'm really desperate.

Is the lack of work
making you desperate or is it Helena?

I… I don't know.

Helena found me with someone else.

Who's that?

With Livia.

Pato!

[Pato] Coming!

-Come on.
-I'm here.

Let's go.

Got your lunch?

-Oh, I forgot it.
-You didn't grab it from the table?

-No.
-I'll get it.

[sighs] Pato.

Pato?

Pato!

[dramatic music playing]

Pato!

Pato!

Helena broke up with me because
of all the sh*t that was going on.

Livia came by the house and we talked,
we got drunk, we smoked pot,

and I don't know what I was thinking.
All I know is that it was a big mistake.

In all honesty, if she weren't
Claudio's daughter, we'd have no issue.

[phone rings]

A girl your age,
without all the worry like Helena.

No, I'm not interested in Livia.

Uh, it's Rebeca.

What's happening?

Did you take Pato? Is he with you?

-No, why?
-Don't lie to me, Iván. Please.

Just tell me you have him.
I won't get angry.

I just need to know he's safe.

[exhales] Rebeca, where is my son?

I don't know.
I went back in to get his lunch,

and I came back out and he was gone.
Someone took our son, Iván.

[music ends]

[anchorwoman] A sex tape
involving politician Rafael Barrientos

and a transgender woman has gone viral.

It seems to have triggered all sorts
of transphobic comments on social media.

This scandal has again brought attention
to previous cases of sex videos

such as Prosecutor Pablo Morales,
who has since taken his life.

[anchorman] We also have Hugo Montero,
a shareholder at Sal y Mar,

and Helena Rivas de Martínez,

the latter appearing in a video
with an escort named Iván Díaz.

[anchorwoman] Is this some sort
of sex cult?

And if it is, who else is involved?

I can't listen to this.

Well, what happens now?

The party is making decisions right now.

It's not up to me.

Then, blame it all on me.

Say that you didn't know anything,

that it was a trap and you were set up.

No. No, no, no.

I won't blame you to save myself, Dora.

You have a lot to lose as well.

It took you so long to get here.
You have a career. No, no, no.

Rafa, the last thing you need

is for the press to know
we're still together.

Let me do this for you.

This will end you as a politician
in a country as close-minded as this one.

I think the best thing to do
for the time being is to separate.

[tense sting]

We always knew this would end someday.

Looks like the end is now.

[music fades]

Hello. I'm looking for Sofía Curiel.

Livia.

Ah. Thank you.

-Hi.
-What's happened?

I came here to ask you what you meant

when you mentioned
the alleged suicide of my mom.

Oh. Of course.

I stand by what I said, Livia.

Very strange things
seem to happen around your dad.

When she died, I was very young.

I was left
with so many unanswered questions.

-Everything is a blur.
-Mm-hm.

Just because you were young then,
doesn't mean you still can't have doubts.

Do you think
that she may not have k*lled herself?

[tense music playing]

[Fer] Dora, you can't go out there.
It's crawling with reporters.

I'm serious, you can't!

[Helena] If you go out, you'll be exposed.

You're right.
I can't let them see me here.

It'll confirm I have
a relationship with Rafael.

[Fer] What do you mean?

Rafael, it's none of my business
to get involved, but…

It's obvious you and Dora
love each other very much.

You don't have to break up
because of what others say.

[Helena] Fer…

You fell in love with a trans woman.
So? What's wrong with that?

Dora is a great woman,
and she's always supported you.

-That's all that matters.
-[Helena] I'm sorry, Rafa.

I didn't know
it was going to be like this.

This was Claudio.

Anyone else
would be looking for a way out,

a way to blackmail me, but no.

He released that video
simply to screw with my life.

I faced him then…

and I'll face him now.
Let's see who loses.

This is your fault for getting involved
with the Martínez family.

No, no. He was with you, Rebeca!

I have to call the police.

-I've already called them.
-I'll call them again, okay?

-You stay here--
-[Pato] Hi there.

-[gasps] Pato!
-Pato!

-Where did you go?
-Are you all right?

-I was with your friend.
-What friend?

He's outside.

Pato, I was so worried.

[suspenseful music playing]

You know, your kid is very smart,
but he forgot his balloon.

My son is off limits, you b*stard.

[Rebeca] Pato! Wait.

Hey, Dad,
wasn't Mr. Claudio your best friend?

-Yes, we are best friends.
-Go inside.

You have no idea
how much we love the same things.

Stay away from my son.

You should be more careful with him.

You don't want any freak
on the street taking him away.

Never to be seen again.

Stay away from Helena,
or the next time I visit,

it won't be to buy him a balloon.

I would k*ll anyone to protect my family.
So, watch out.

You messed with my daughter and my wife.

Imagine what I want to protect.

Goodbye, Pato. Hey.

See you soon, okay?

-Bye now.
-Let's go.

I don't wanna see that as*h*le anywhere
near the house, the office, or my family.

-Understood?
-Yes, sir.

Take me home,
then do what we talked about.

Of course.

My grandfather was about to retire
when your mother died.

And he was convinced

that your mother's death
wasn't actually a suicide.

-Was he able to find anything else?
-No.

No, no, no.
They didn't let him investigate the case.

He was forced to retire. Hm.

You know, I knew your mom.

[chuckles] She was sweet, cheerful, soft.

But then, uh…

Over time, she just became
more sad and distant.

That was because of Helena.

She started working with my dad,
and they became lovers.

And it was only months after that…

Well, you know.

Hm.

Do you think
that Helena could have k*lled her?

Well…

If the two of them were together,
as you say,

and please forgive me
if I'm out of line here,

but shouldn't we be suspicious
of her and Claudio?

[tense music playing]

What is it?

[Claudio] Did you know Iván
had sex with Livia just to f*ck with me?

Well, your daughter's no saint.

No. You're wrong, he tricked her.

But it seems he learned his lesson.

What have you done now?

[scoffs] He slept with my daughter.

He slept with you

and took you away from me,
he made it all public, and you still care?

Helena, you exhaust my patience.

If you don't come home tonight,
I'll tell the world what your son did.

[Claudio hangs up]

[tires screeching]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[exhales]

[music fades]

It's the third time the principal
has called about your fighting.

They talk about Dad.
I don't want to go to that school!

Perfect!
We can't afford it without him anyway!

He k*lled himself and left us all alone.

Alone!

I hate him. I hate him!

[tense music playing]

This photo of Ariel is beautiful.

[tense sting]

Did you get my message?

I would've k*lled you yesterday,
but you were with Octavio.

Since when do you like ungrateful brats?

Are you here to get the truth out of me?

No.

I'm here to f*cking k*ll you.

Just like I k*lled Antonio,
your accomplice.

I was sorry to hear about Antonio.

But I'm happy knowing that
he died getting revenge for his father

and all the horrible things you did.

Is that why you're doing this now?

You want revenge
for what happened to Ariel?

Shut up!

Ariel k*lled himself because of you,
you piece of sh*t.

He had so many plans ruined by you.

Ariel was the most beautiful thing
that's ever happened in my life.

He fell in love with me.

I never wanted for him to get hurt.

I begged him not to look for me,
but he insisted.

So then I began to threaten him.

I said I would release one of our videos.

Only then did he go.

You're a monster, Claudio.

My son was pure.

-And you destroyed him.
-No.

What destroyed him
was having a shitty mother like you.

You had me kidnapped.

And you took my videos.

-[g*n safety clicks off]
-[gasps]

Where are they?

Hm?

I'll ask one more time.

Where are they?

Don't think I won't pull the trigger.

[tense music intensifies]

Leave on your own or leave in a body bag.

You decide.

I dare you.

Just give me a reason.

See you soon, Fedra.

We still have some things to discuss.

[music fades]

-[door closes]
-Are you okay?

That b*stard deserves to die.

[both sobbing]

[Livia] How are you?

I haven't seen you
since you left the house.

I'm not doing well, Livia.
Thanks to Claudio.

And I really don't want him
to see me here.

So, I'm gonna be as honest as I can.

You have to get away from Dad.
Go back to Tulum.

Why would you say that?

I can't tell you how I know it,

but I have a suspicion
that he k*lled Antonio.

[tense music playing]

Our father?

And not only Antonio,
he may have also k*lled Magic.

He's messing with some people
who are very serious.

They won't hesitate to get revenge

and I don't want you caught
in the middle of it all.

First with Sofía
and now this f*cking sh*t.

-Sofía, the one investigating us?
-Yeah.

We talked about our theory
about Mom's suicide.

She insinuated
that Helena and Dad k*lled her.

-Stop harassing Iván.
-You fell in love like an idiot.

You keep defending him,

even though he slept
with my daughter as well?

I don't wanna talk about it.

I'll give it all to you.

You can have the business,
the money, the house, it's all yours.

Do me a favor.

Delete that f*cking video
and give me a pass.

You can rebuild your life
with anyone you want, Claudio.

Oh, Helena,
you've known me for so many years,

and you still don't know
I'm not as naive as that?

-I can't believe it.
-I decide who stays and who goes.

I want to see you back at the house.

Tonight, got it?

Just you and your son.

Can't you accept
what I'm trying to tell you?

-It's best for everyone.
-Are you stupid?

I'm going to post that video
whether you like it or not.

-Claudio.
-Come back home.

Claudio, listen to me.
Think about what you're doing.

[Helena breathes heavily]

Claudio, please…

[engine starts]

No.

[Rebeca] This happened
because of your affair with that woman.

Her husband could have hurt Pato.

No need to worry, Rebeca.

I'll make sure Claudio
is no longer a threat to my son.

[tense music continues]

[music fades]

Fer, thank you.

Thank you for all the kind words
you said to Rafael about me.

They were…

very sweet.

If more people thought like you…

then there would definitely be a change.

I know a bunch of guys.

They all claim to be woke and whatever.

But when it comes down to it,
they're all Neanderthals.

Rafael would be nothing if he lost you.

-You're so great.
-Thank you.

-So, where's your mother?
-She left without telling me.

She must be with Iván.

And Rafael? Is he still here?

I have no idea.

[Rebeca] Dinner is ready.

You can continue after dinner.
Call your dad.

Daddy said he was going to get
some clothes from his house.

Go and wash your hands, Pato.

[line ringing]

[suspenseful music playing]

Come on.

Mom?

I'm opening some wine.
Would you like some?

Mom?

Where the hell are you?

[line ringing]

[beep]

[voicemail beep]

How could you go out alone
after what happened with Claudio?

And then to have
your cell phone turned off?

Please call me when you get this.

[suspenseful music continues]

EXTERNAL STORAGE BACKUP

I love you, Claudio.

I'm nothing without you.

Your mom and your sister
will be joining you soon, my sweet.

[door opens]

Livia?

Honey?

Livia!

Honey, it would be good if we could talk.

What the hell?

FILES PERMANENTLY DELETED

[breathes shakily]
Holy sh*t, what is this?

[choking]

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]
