01x03 - Triángulo amoroso/Love Triangle

Post by bunniefuu »

WE WERE KINGS

I went with your grandfather

to San Hipólito

to buy the pendants

for your first Communion.

And he said to me,

"These two have lost their father,

but I'm going to make sure

they develop into honorable men."

"And San Judas will help me."

And look at you.

You dropped this, pendejo.

Abuela

Poor Sonia is worried sick.

She knows you were there

to paint the wall.

She knows it was you.

And I lied to protect you.

Now, I'm complicit.

Because I had to hide

the fact that it was actually my dumbass

grandson who took her mother.

They made me do it, Abuela.

Those men threatened

to k*ll me and my whole family.

They threatened to hurt my mom

and Heidi, and even Santitos!

Who, Javo?

Who made these threats?

I'm not allowed to say.

And it's best if we keep it that way.

And that you don't mention this to anyone.

Everything you say is a lie, Javier!

Your brother is a police officer,

you know Ortega.

Just speak up, and you know

the cops will arrest the b*stards.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why I waste my time with you.

You're nothing but a criminal.

Always have been.

Alicia needs her medication,

take them to her.

How, Abuela? I don't know

where the hell they're hiding her.

Only God knows

how strongly I've loved you, Javier.

They say grandparents don't have

a favorite grandchild, but that's a lie.

From the very first moment

I held you in my arms, Javo

I felt a love so intense.

Such a love

I never imagined even remotely existed.

Because of that love I feel for you,

here, in front of la Vírgen,

you will swear to me that you will return

Doña Alicia safe and sound or else.

Or else, I swear

you and I will never ever speak again!

Don't cry, Grandma.

Abuel

I swear I'll do everything in my power

to earn your forgiveness.

But please look at me.

Stop.

Please, Abuela.

Grandma

What's up, bro?

-I was looking for you.

-Hey, 'sup?

I need you to help me reconstruct

what happened that night.

Yeah, later.

No, not later. Right now. Let's go.

Where'd the assailant come from,

I don't understand?

I don't know, cabrón.

Okay.

Santos drew his weapon.

Hm? Did he point it at the guy?

What the f*ck, Mike.

Relax, carnal. The safe's on.

Alright. You be the assailant now.

What'd that f*ck do?

How did he grab Santo's g*n?

Javo, help me out!

-What happened? Did they struggle?

-Yeah.

How?

I don't know, bro.

It was dark, and I was very drunk, okay?

Hey, man. Just try.

Well?

They were both hugging.

How?

It looked a little bit

like they were hugging.

-Wh Tussling, though, right?

-Yes.

-Uh-huh.

-Then the shot rang out.

Okay. Bang.

And then?

Carnal? Hey, what's wrong?

You're pale, brother!

Mike! Javo!

I think they caught Santos' k*ller.

Let's go.

Move it!

What is your name,

you son of a b*tch?

Lucas Bermúdez.

This is the end of the road for you,

you worthless piece of sh*t!

But, why?

When I didn't do anything!

Don't play stupid.

This m*therf*cker k*lled Santos.

He's got his g*n.

I swear

I haven't k*lled anyone. I swear!

I found the g*n in the dumpster!

-Let's k*ll the m*therf*cker.

-Let's get some rope!

k*ll him!

Enough! I said no!

Stop this now!

No one's gonna be lynched here!

Enough! What the f*ck is happening here?

Javo, we've caught

Santos's k*ller.

Is that true, Javo? Do you recognize him?

-Son.

-Javo!

I'm gonna k*ll

that son of a b*tch! Let me go!

That m*therf*cker k*lled my Santos!

-I'll take him!

-Why are you protecting him, Miguel Ángel?

He m*rder*d Santos!

No, I want to ensure

that justice is served.

-You're an accomplice!

-I am following the law!

A f*cking accomplice!

-Let me go!

-Calm down! Mike is right! Get him!

Wait!

The son of a b*tch

is getting away!

Go, go, go!

I found the g*n in the dumpster!

-Let's k*ll the m*therf*cker!

-Yeah.

Let's hang the son of a b*tch.

You're done for.

You know what, Ortega?

I have a feeling

that as*h*le's telling the truth.

Look, Miguel Reyes,

have you ever talked to felons?

They are never

gonna tell you they're guilty.

Everybody's innocent.

f*cking th*gs.

He's not lying.

Something in his eyes, man.

In his voice.

So you really believe

he just found the weapon?

Well,

there's only one way to prove it.

Poor as*h*le can't hide forever.

Let's go, come on.

There's your dough.

Two hundred big ones. Count it.

Go ahead.

No need, Jefe.

I trust you. And I didn't come for that.

Okay, go on.

You and I know very well there's no future

in the business my uncle's in.

I want to work for you, sir.

And doing what, exactly?

You know, Jefe. What I did the other day.

Chano!

Take your shirt off, cabrón.

Take it off, I said!

I'm not wired, Boss.

And I'm not hiding anything

under this either.

I thought you didn't like

what I was doing.

Do you know how much time it takes me

to earn 200,000 pesos

scrapping stolen cars?

I'm disappointed, Javo.

You're changing the way you think

for that pathetic tiny amount.

It's not just the cash, though, Jefe.

I've thought about

what you said to me the other day.

I'm sick and tired

of working day and night

while all those m*therf*cking

banker c*ck,

I mean, like the old lady's daughter,

always get off by taking

good citizens' houses in our neighborhood.

I like you, and I want to believe you.

But you can't waltz into this business

because you feel like it.

Gotta prove yourself.

Kidnapping the old lady

wasn't proof enough?

You mean "operation shitshow," is that it?

It's a miracle we're not all locked up,

to tell you the truth, cabrón.

But you know what? I'm liking you.

I'm liking you

and your 200,000 pesos ba*ls.

Ah!

Well, you tell me, Boss.

What do I gotta do?

Hello?

We are watching you,

b*tch, you hear?

Better not try anything stupid,

or you will never see

your f*cking mom again, am I clear?

Yes, it's clear.

That's what I wanna hear,

little sl*t. Listen carefully.

If you wanna see your mom again,

you have to pay us one million in cash.

-Dollars.

-What?

N No, no, no, no, no.

I don't have that kind of cash.

Don't play dumb.

We know very well

that your old lady's got loads of money.

We know she's got

some properties, cars too.

Yes, but I can't touch those

properties without her authorization.

One million dollars. You heard us.

Look, I don't have that kind of money

nor am I free to just get it.

But it's very important that

you give my mom her medication,

because she is in delica

Hello?

So, Jefe? Proof enough for you?

Proof enough?

You mean that stupid little phone call

you just made, boy?

Chano!

Call Pitbull.

And tell him we're going for a ride

with Javo.

You know how much this ring here is worth?

It's an original Tiffany's.

My husband bought it for me in New York

for our silver wedding anniversary.

It's yours if you just make a call.

Hello, hello.

How's my lady doing?

Have they treated you

with the respect you deserve?

Get the stuff.

Yes, really well, thank you.

But I don't have my medication.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They already told me

you got a little anxious about that.

Don't worry. Go on.

No. What's that?

-No! No!

-Calm down.

-Your medicine, grandma. That's it.

-No, please. No!

And they say

they don't have 1,000,000 dollars.

Remorseless assholes, huh?

You wanted to prove yourself, Javo?

Well, then.

Cut her finger off.

Go on, bro.

The ring finger.

It's the finger we use the least,

according to Harvard University.

Hello.

Can you look at this photo and tell me

if you've seen this person around?

His name is Lucas.

No.

He was last seen in San Miguel Teotongo.

He's the prime suspect

in the m*rder of a police officer.

You sure you haven't seen him round here?

No.

Nah, see, Alicia's got a thing with

her blood. Like, it won't clot, I think.

If I cut her finger off

Cut the bullshit!

Maybe you're being a p*ssy,

huh, puto?

Back off, Pitbull.

How do you know this?

My grandma told us.

She got hurt bad once,

and they took her to the hospital

to stop the bleeding, alright?

Jefe, if I were you,

I wouldn't risk it.

He's making that up, boss.

He just pulled that bullshit

out of his a*s.

Fine. Don't believe me? Go ahead, brah.

Huh?

She dies, and that your problem.

And what happens if she dies, huh, Jefe?

No ransom,

no nothing because of you, Pitbull.

That'll be fun to watch, cabrón.

Oh, who's the little p*ssy now, huh?

You f*cking yappy-a*s chihuahua!

Hey, hey, hey.

Stay calm, Pitbull.

You just got f*cked up the a*s.

Now let go.

Let go!

Oh, one more thing, my Pitbull.

Don't you dare overstep, you hear me?

The only one who decides

who lives or dies, Pitbull,

is your boss.

Go on now.

Good afternoon.

How are you?

I thought you weren't gonna

get up until later.

Mike

I wanted to apologize to you.

I'm sorry for behaving

like a f*cking nutcase.

You don't need to apologize at all, Male.

I was just doing my job.

Seems I haven't thanked you

for that either.

For everything you've done so far.

Hey, uh, can I ask you a favor?

Watch him while I shower,

just for a moment?

-Uh, of course.

-I won't be long. Thanks.

For sure.

Yes, my love. Yes, my love.

Well, well, well, well, now.

-Oh, what's the matter, huh?

-Hey.

Mamá!

Malena asked me to watch Santitos

while she showers.

Huh. Hey, come.

I got something to ask you.

-I need you to do me a favor.

-Of course, Ma. Anything.

I wanna know who baby Santos' dad is.

Your brother won't tell me.

Mamá, you know I gotta deal

with much more important stuff.

Oh, but Santitos growing up

without a father is not important. Hm!

Yeah, Ma. You're right, but

-I mean

-Do it for me.

Go and find out.

Okay, Ma.

So what? That story

about the lady's blood, that true?

Course not, Taiguer.

Got that sh*t

from some leaflet I saw once.

Ha. Alright. I'm counting 200K, my boy.

Where's the f*cking GPS

we got from that Audi?

What you need it for?

I need to know where the f*ck

they're hiding the old lady.

Hey, shh. Keep a cool head!

We can't mess this up.

This ain't your problem.

This is my sh*t to deal with.

Ha! No way. Your father'd k*ll me.

Come in, enano!

Look at that!

What a beauty!

It's that rich kid's we've spotted lately.

You alright, carnal?

Well, this pendejo messed with Venegas.

-Venegas-Venegas?

-Yeah, I didn't know who he was, dude.

Chingado, güey! I gotta find Pitbull.

Relax, carnal.

We got you, okay?

NAILS AND MORE

He was crying so I picked him up.

It's fine.

When Santos was a baby,

I'd sing that to him

to put him to sleep like this.

Hm.

-Would you like to learn it?

-Hm.

-Wear that babydoll you like.

-No way, man!

I'm just joking man.

CONVENIENCE STORE

-See you later.

-See you, bro.

The GPS is indicating this way.

-You sure?

-Yeah.

Alright, hang on.

-That one. That's Pitbull's truck.

-Here?

-Yes, yes, it's there.

-What?

I told you they covered

my head that day, Taiguer.

Well, then let's wait and see

if this is where they're hiding her.

Be patient, Javo.

-What you doing?

-Wait here.

-Hey. Come here, pendejo! Come here!

-I'll have a look.

-Wait for me. Be right back.

-No, don't be stupid, come here!

Ah, Javo!

Oh, baby!

Yeah. Oh, grab me like that, yeah.

-Yeah?

-Grab me, yeah.

Yeah, Pitbull, f*ck me like that.

IZTAPALAPA MUNICIPALITY

They were Santos's footprints,

I'm certain.

They were our boots,

from here at the force.

And the other ones were his mother's.

Malena.

The prints were outside the bathroom?

Yeah.

Outside the bathroom where Javo said

that he saw Santos vomiting.

But she told me

that she didn't see Santos or Javo.

Ay, cabrón!

You suspect his own mother did it?

Don't be stupid, Ortega.

Look, all I'm saying

is that I know one of them is lying.

-Either Javo or Malena.

-Mm-hm.

Or both.

I got a problem, Ortega.

A really big one.

Let it out.

I'm into Malena.

But for real, bro.

What's the problem with that, bro?

Because I can't get her out of my head.

Her Her smile.

How she smells.

Her beautiful brown hair.

How'd it happen?

You know, how'd you realize that?

Well, I mean,

since I was a kid.

I'd see her all the time,

and she seemed so

wholehearted.

What do you mean by that?

She's cleaned houses,

she's she's sold corn, made piñatas,

she's worked in factories.

She did everything

to provide for her little boy.

Always with so much dignity.

Such a woman, you know?

Well, yeah, but

a person doesn't just fall in love

with someone 'cause they work hard.

She's got a nice a*s too.

Don't pretend like you don't like her a*s.

Well, yeah, I mean, but

But that can't be everything.

That neighborhood

has plenty of pretty girls.

Malena, though,

is something else.

I look at her and

f*ck!

Nah, man. You, my friend, are in deep.

I say, just speak to her.

Tell her she rocks your world, bro.

But, bro, she's my homie's mother.

And she is Javo's godmother, but so what?

I know that Santos

With all due respect,

and may his soul rest in eternal glory

Santos wouldn't mind if you went for it.

Think so, Ortega?

For sure.

The dance for the police force

is happening soon.

You should invite Malena.

I went to say my goodbyes to the house.

It'll be auctioned off soon.

Santos was sworn in as Nazarene

to be able to ask Cristo de la Cuevita

for guidance to pay it off.

But then this.

BANK OF THE REPUBLIC

Hello. I'm here to pay a mortgage.

Mm-hm.

I just need you to sign here.

Give me a moment.

I'll be outside.

Javo?

Señorita Sonia. What brings you here?

-Well, I work here.

-Oh.

My grandma told me

that your mom's not feeling well.

Nothing serious, I hope.

-She's better now, thanks for asking.

-That's great. Great.

Do you need anything?

Anything I can help you with?

No I'm good.

They're helping already, thanks.

-That's everything, right?

-Yeah.

Thank you.

Well, I will pray for your mother.

What was he here for?

He was paying a mortgage.

I could never repay you

for what you've done for me, comadre.

If there's anything you need,

please know you can count on me.

You don't have to thank us, Male.

It's been our pleasure.

For Santos,

who was another son to me.

You should be thanking Taiguer.

And, Javo,

'cause who knows what the hell he did

to make that stingy old man

let go of all that money.

It was a small loan, yeah?

-Hmm.

-And I'll pay it off working overtime.

That's not happening, Javier.

Tell your uncle that even if it takes me

forever, I will repay every penny.

Hm?

What you doing here?

Passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi.

Since when do you do that?

Well

Things change, hermana.

You miss that?

What?

Going out with your friends.

Talking.

Dancing.

Honestly, yeah.

You could be there.

Be one of those girls right now.

Ah, but first there'd have to be

a responsible father.

There isn't one.

Heidi, you gotta understand

what we're trying

Look, Mike, I keep to myself, okay?

I stay out of your life.

And I never judge you.

But I don't have a baby.

How do you know? Like, what if you do

and you don't even know?

If you are doing this because mom, like,

made you, stop wasting your time, Miguel.

I'm so sick of her bribing

and pressuring me.

If I wasn't gonna tell you before,

imagine now.

Y'all just mind your own business, yeah?

Don't act like you don't have any secrets.

I wanna know too.

But if you don't want that,

I respect your decision.

See you back at the house?

What's going on?

-Where's Malena's stuff?

-She went back to her house.

What d'you mean, her house?

She was evicted, wasn't she?

I don't know.

They were on their way out.

They simply said Malena had paid off

the house and that they'll explain later.

-You said "they"?

-Hm.

Who's they?

You've lost me.

Javo apparently applied

for a loan to pay the mortgage.

And I think everything's sorted now.

-Javo applied?

-Mm-hm.

You're kidding, right?

What bank's gonna approve a loan for Javo?

The little rat of your uncle.

-All done, carnal.

-Sweet.

Guys.

Señora.

Bolillo, Cuerpitaco,

thank you so much. Really.

Well, that's what friends are for.

I don't know what you discussed

with Javo but

Leave it, leave it, leave it. I got you.

Thanks a lot, bros, yeah?

I'ma have you over for some

gomichelas to say thank you.

Thanks, dude.

-Have a good one.

-Thanks.

Mm.

Mm.

It doesn't feel real.

I mean, just yesterday

I thought my place was lost.

And now

I don't know who to thank first, Javo.

The Señor de la Cuevita

or Santos who shone

down on you from the sky.

-Or you who

-You don't need to thank me, seriously.

Listen, aren't we being

a little bit indiscreet?

Ofelia and your mom

were watching both of us like

-Enough, flaca!

-I don't know

f*ck anybody who finds out.

I don't wanna hide anymore.

I don't f*cking want to.

I'm tired.

-Thanks, Ma. You did good.

-Mm.

Mom, what are you doing here?

What happened?

Uh, señorita Sonia

-threw me out.

-But but why?

What happened?

Well, it's just that it seems

she's got problems with her finances.

-Where are your things?

-Oh, I'll go get them later.

Some other day.

The thing is that

-I have nowhere to live.

-Don't say that.

Abuelita, of course

you have somewhere to live.

I gotta go somewhere right now,

but you get comfortable wherever you like.

We'll talk later. kiss

Don't you even worry, Mamá.

Hm? It'll all be alright.

My son.

My son was here last night with me,

you know?

Where did you take him?

Shut up already!

Your son's not here.

You piss the bed again, and I'll beat

the sh*t outta you, filthy old hag.

No mames. Stop being a b*tch.

You know the poor lady's not well, man.

She's not so bad, you know?

Got something here

to get rid of your bad mood.

Ma'am. They've kidnapped my son!

Let me borrow your phone, please.

Señora!

E Excuse me,

uh, my son and I have been kidnapped.

-Do you have a phone?

-Yes, of course.

-I must call this number.

-What's the number?

Fif 56-32-0002.

No mames.

Herminia!

Herminia! Answer me, please, honey.

Fercho and I have been kidnapped.
