[cop] Don't you think that at your age

these activities are inappropriate?

There's no doubt

that when they say

you're too old to do something,

you should do it right away.

-[laughs]

-[cop sighs]

[continues laughing]

[glass shatters]

[María] Poncho?

[suspenseful music playing]

Poncho?

Is that you?

[gasps and whimpers]

No, take whatever you want.

[man in deep voice]

I know what you did to Morro.

And you're going to pay for it.

[whimpering]

I'm going to faint.

[in normal voice] Calm down.

Sit down.

[María whimpering]

Calm down.

Do you want water? Tea for your nerves?

-No?

-What do you want?

Money.

[in deep voice]

In exchange for my silence.

No, I don't have any money.

But you have a good

"happy" cupcake business.

[cell phone ringing]

[in normal voice] No.

Poncho?

Grandma, it's me, Poncho.

I can barely hear you!

Are you at a party?

No, I won't be able to come home.

No, I don't like you not coming home.

This is not a hotel.

But if you're going to be late, dear,

well, don't worry.

Better stay over there, yes.

No, I'm with the colonel.

You'll go deaf!

Take care, dear!

[in deep voice] From now on,

you'll give me a commission every 15 days.

Do you understand?

A commission?

[colonel] We're at the jump point!

No, really, I've never done this.

I never have, Colonel.

No, really!

-Let's go!

-No!

[both grunting]

[both screaming]

[theme music playing]

THREE MONTHS LATER

MAMA CAKE

LOVE - BREAD

[María humming]

[Xiadani] Ready.

[bell ringing]

[María] Great.

[children chattering indistinctly]

Okay, have your money ready.

We're almost open. Hold on.

Let's see.

Relax. There's plenty for all.

[Jorge] Okay, one by one. Form a line.

I told you we'd get them addicted

in less than three months.

[giggles]

-[child] Thank you.

-[María] Yes.

-Teacher, how are you?

-How's it going?

I want a croissant, two biscuits,

two sweet buns and two happy donuts.

Yes, of course.

Mama, could you also make me

three ten-piece happy boxes for next week?

-Yes, of course.

-To liven up the teachers' meeting.

We will take care of that.

Here, Jorge.

[chuckling]

-Here.

-Here's one.

[mouthing indistinctly]

Great. Thank you.

Yes, we're almost sold out.

[María] That's great.

[Xiadani] We've sold a lot.

-[teacher] Thank you.

-[Xiadani] Goodbye.

See you later.

[Jorge] Let's see.

[man in mask] What a success, Mama Cake.

-[balloon pops]

-[gasps]

[all exclaim]

Tonight I'll come by

for double the amount.

He's asking for double.

[Xiadani] No, I'm sick of it.

This has to stop.

No, let's stop him.

It's not the first time

he's asked for double.

Next he'll ask us for triple,

and he won't stop bothering us

until we put a stop to it.

-There's more of us than that clown.

-So what's the plan?

[hard rock music playing,

Judas Priest "Painkiller"]

Faster than a b*llet ♪

Terrifying scream ♪

Enraged and full of anger ♪

He is half man and half machine ♪

Rides the metal monster ♪

Breathing smoke and fire ♪

-[stomach growling]

-[coughing]

Closing in with vengeance soaring high ♪

He is the Painkiller ♪

This is the Painkiller ♪

Planets devastated ♪

Mankind's on its knees ♪

No, not that.

Why not? That way we get rid of him.

And then Jorge can get rid of the body.

[tense music playing]

-I said no.

-[sighs]

We're in this mess

because of what happened to Morro.

We can't add more corpses to the list.

-No way.

-Okay, fine.

What if we just teach him a lesson?

SLEEPING PILLS

[hard rock music playing]

No! That's t*rture!

Why not? It's cooler than Jorge's plan.

We were doing well

up to the sleeping pills.

We can put him to sleep

and put drugs in his coat pockets

and leave him in front of the DA's office.

-No way. That's a lousy idea.

-That's terrible. No.

I think I know what we can do with him.

[door opens and closes]

[hard rock music playing]

I was waiting for you.

-Really?

-[gasps]

-Poncho!

-Why leave the door open?

Poncho! Poncho!

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

You don't seem happy about it.

Don't talk nonsense.

I can't tell you how happy I am.

Poncho, I got all your little messages

and the photos you sent.

There in the middle of the jungle.

My Poncho.

Hey, everything okay

with the social worker?

Yes, everything's perfect.

She didn't even know you were away.

Time away was good for me

because I learned the value of work

and I could send you something

for the work on the truck. Anyway

I told you there was no need.

But it was time to come back

to help with Mama Cake.

[door opens]

-Who's that?

-No one.

-Don't worry.

-Poncho?

Poncho, it's me, Freddy.

Freddy?

-What's up?

-No way, Freddy! What's up?

-What are you doing here?

-You know.

Long time no see!

Like three or four years.

Yes, since reform school.

That was tough, my friend.

But you grew up well. Look at you.

How's your mom?

Dead.

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

What's up with this costume?

He's my assistant.

-At the truck?

-Uh-huh.

-That explains the costume.

-Yes.

But really,

it looks kind of creepy, right?

Yes, we're thinking

about a makeover. That's right.

Well, I don't need you right now.

-I'll call you tomorrow and

-No way, Grandma. Hold on.

You don't know who Freddy is.

When I was a kid,

thanks to Freddy and his mom, Mrs. Chivis,

I could eat when my mom was home,

getting drunk.

Hey, does Chivis still have

her taco stand in the usual spot?

Yeah, they gave her the spot permanently.

-You remember where, right?

-Yes.

Hey, did you buy a house for her?

You were always a hard worker.

-Well, I'm working on it.

-That's cool.

-You know who I saw the other day? Turco.

-[glasses clink]

Thanks, Grandma.

No!

I'm going to make some sandwiches.

Okay, then.

Who would have thought

I'd have such a cool grandmother?

I was telling you, I met Turco.

He was at a corner shouting for business.

-Same as always.

-But come on, sit down.

[yawns]

Who would've thought

you'd work with my grandma?

Let's call it mutually beneficial.

But I think I'm going to quit.

Are you going to leave her hanging?

I didn't know she was your grandma.

[yawns]

You know what?

Maybe I'll take over for you.

Give me this.

Yes, give it to me. I'll show you.

Let's see.

-Here.

-Let's see.

Look, pay attention.

Buy her cupcakes!

[both laugh]

You have to draw your voice out more.

Look.

Watch.

[in deep voice] Buy her cupcakes.

Like more mysterious.

Let's see.

[in deep voice] Buy her

[snoring]

[door opening]

They both fell asleep.

Two? We're only throwing one out.

No, Poncho came back unexpectedly.

And, to top it off, it turns out

he's friends with the extortionist.

[groans]

Okay, stop.

However that may be,

we have to do it today. Hmm?

Yes, but this changes everything.

What if this clown meets Poncho later

and tells him what we're doing?

Or what you're about to do to him.

Look, María, I know

you don't want blood, but

No. No fingers. Not that.

Okay, his tongue so he can't talk. Hmm?

No. No, no, no.

No, but increase the scariness

a little bit.

Make it clear he can't talk to Poncho

or I'll cut out his vocal cords myself.

[laughs gleefully]

[whispering] Right there.

[grunts]

One, two. [grunts]

[panting]

Here we go.

[sighs]

[automated voice]

not available to answer your call.

It's official. The investors withdrew.

And for a change,

useless Jorge isn't answering.

Mom, I love how affectionately

you talk about Dad.

It's always the same.

You're always complaining.

Don't you get tired of it?

No, I'm taking ginseng.

Mmm.

Well, then, I would love

to stay for dessert,

to hear your liturgy of complaints,

but I'd better go to sleep.

I have some tests at my base tomorrow.

Stop wasting time on that stuff.

You should help me with my business.

Mom.

I'd rather jump without a parachute. Hmm?

[kisses and chuckles]

I don't understand this allergy to money

that you and your father have.

You definitely didn't get it from me.

Don't worry, Mom.

Your ambition covers the family quota.

[laughs]

[sighs]

I drugged my own grandson.

But for the greater good.

Maybe we should just keep

the natural line.

We're doing well enough to pay Gloria.

Huh? No.

Soon nobody will bother us anymore.

We can even get ourselves a few luxuries

from selling happiness.

-[Xiadani grunts]

-[shoe thuds]

[both scream]

Wake up.

Wake up, you clown as*h*le! Look!

[María] Please, I beg you.

Let me talk to Jorge

to see how Poncho is doing.

Ponchito left?

No, he was abducted by mistake.

He was mistaken for you.

He's probably having

his tongue cut out right now.

[whimpering]

You were gonna cut out my tongue?

No, not at all.

No, that was never our plan.

No, we just wanted to ask you nicely

to stop extorting us.

By drugging me?

No, what gave you that idea?

By teaching you a little lesson.

Or a big lesson, right?

Because we told Jorge

to make sure you keep quiet.

I swear I'll pay you what you ask for.

Double, triple if you want.

Just let me stop Jorge

so nothing happens to my Poncho, please.

-Yes.

-Yes.

[mouthing] I'll be right back.

Hey, no, but

[Xiadani] Jorge, code red!

Code black!

Abort, don't cut anything off the clown!

That's not the extortionist,

it's the prodigal grandson.

María,

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were Poncho's grandma.

Look, because of the affection

that me and my mom have for the kid,

your debt is paid.

He already figured it out.

Everything's fine.

[sighs]

How did you find out

what happened to Morro?

Is anyone else after us?

[squelching]

[Xiadani] María!

You ex*cuted him!

My God!

No, no one else saw it.

What happened to the body?

With the

[hesitates] No, don't even tell me.

Whatever you did was for the best.

Morro was getting too much.

I wouldn't want him

to leave Poncho without a grandma.

Good night.

Good night.

[Xiadani] Are those muscles

just from being in the jungle?

-You have big arms. You've grown a lot.

-Xiadani.

Let him eat breakfast.

I wasn't only in the jungle.

-[thunder rumbling]

-[intense music playing]

-My position was vital for the

-[doorbell buzzing]

There's someone at the door, Xiadani.

-Don't finish the story until I get back.

-Okay.

You're going to drive Xiadani crazy

with so many stories.

Hey, dear,

did you sleep well yesterday?

Like a baby.

Although I did have some crazy dreams.

I dreamed I woke up in a cellar

and Jorge wanted to put a helmet on me

with some clamps.

Then he carried me back.

No idea what happened.

I fell asleep.

I didn't even notice when Freddy left.

Well, you were very tired.

Lots of rushing around.

Yeah, maybe.

Hey, what a small world, right?

How long have you been working together?

Freddy? No, barely any time.

He's on a trial period.

[door closes]

-Who was it?

-A cab driver who got the wrong address.

He came for Natalia.

Uh

-Well, I'll be right back.

-Okay.

Shall we go?

[Poncho humming]

Poncho.

Hey.

You remembered my name.

Did you think I'd forget?

Besides, the colonel told me

that you were vital in the jungle mission.

You'll have to tell me more.

I'm not sure if you want to know.

I like your new look.

What about you?

-How's everything going?

-Good.

I'm a little nervous.

My physical fitness test is today.

I'm going to jump from 5000 feet.

And if I don't land

on a mark measuring two by two,

goodbye to being a lieutenant.

That sounds intense.

It'll be intense if I get tachycardia

in the middle of the jump.

No, you'll be awesome. You'll see.

Well, I have to go.

-It was good to see you.

-No, wait. Give me two seconds.

I'll be right back.

Here. For your nerves and also for luck.

Cool.

Hey,

when do you turn eighteen?

Uh

Soon. In a little bit.

What a coincidence.

I'll be back in a little bit.

Good luck.

-Guess what?

-What?

-My grandson is back.

-You don't say!

Well, he didn't tell anyone.

He just arrived suddenly.

-Is he in trouble?

-No, I don't think so.

He looks so good. So healthy, so mature.

I was so happy

to be able to hug him again.

And I'm glad to see you so happy.

I'm very happy. I swear,

because everything is turning out so well.

[chuckles] Then let's celebrate.

-[María] And let's say, cheers!

-[Wences] Cheers!

[María chuckles]

Soldiers!

The time has come to show

what you're made of!

Fifteen good-for-nothings

will jump out of this plane!

But when those 15 good-for-nothings

step on the ground,

they will become

true protectors of the nation!

Is that clear?

[all] Yes, Colonel!

People, prove yourselves!

Landing ♪

I have hardly any ingredients left

to make this week's cakes.

I've got it figured out.

No, Wences, you know what I think

of using ingredients that aren't our own.

That will never happen.

Then explain how we're going

to meet production requirements.

I told you I'd take care of everything.

But how?

I'm worried that my girls

are all exhausted from so much production.

You don't know how much I miss them.

[upbeat music playing]

Now.

[mouthing] Now?

[screams]

A stroke!

-Let's go.

-[man] A stroke! Help!

-[woman] I'm dying!

-[man] It's a stroke!

-[man] She's having a stroke!

-[woman groaning]

Lieutenant, congratulations.

Your jump was perfect.

Now, if you'll excuse me, a drop of blood.

Part of the protocol. May I?

Go easy. [giggles]

Thank you. Done.

Lieutenant, it'll be an honor

to have you in my elite team.

You'll be the first woman

with such an honor.

Mendoza, buddy,

you don't know how cool that sounds.

Call your family.

Be the first to tell them the news.

Go ahead.

-[man] Hello.

-Hello?

-Yes, go ahead.

-Dad, it's me. Are you with Mom?

-Yes, what is it?

-I have awesome news to tell you.

[Mendoza] Just a moment.

What's the meaning of this?

The sample shows

there are drugs in your system.

How the hell do you explain this?

A stroke!

-Please call the others!

-I'm dying!

-Come on!

-I'm dying!

Careful!

Where are we going?

When you gave me custody of the Marías,

I told you I had the ideal place for them.

Obviously, I didn't do this on my own.

People take care of them

with the same love that you gave them.

And that kind of love always bears fruit.

How is it possible

that in such a short time

they've grown so much?

-Internet.

-What?

We've watched hundreds of videos

that taught us to be

more efficient with plants.

We've secured production

for several months.

What's wrong, María?

Isn't this what you wanted?

No.

I want to live a healthy life

and for my grandson to be a good man.

I don't want to be a criminal.

It's very stressful.

Sorry, but that's how I feel.

WE ARE GRATEFUL

FOR THE STELLAR PERFORMANCE FROM
