01x10 - He's Alive

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music playing]

[Livia] Just tell me, damn it!
What did you do with Dad, Octavio?

They forced me to say that
the body they found belonged to Dad,

so everyone would stop looking for him.

-Who do you mean, "they"?
-It was Magic and Pablo.

And why would you keep that a secret?

Because they said
they were going to k*ll you, Livia.

They pressured me by saying
they were going to k*ll you.

I also did it to protect Helena
and Fernando, I swear to you.

Come on!
How can you think this was me, Livia?

[cell phone vibrating]

[clears throat] Hello?

[Helena] Octavio, they found your dad.

Alive.

[dramatic music continues]

UNSPEAKABLE SINS

-Sleep well, you two.
-[Remedios] Good night.

Oh, I feel so bad for those kids.

Losing a father at that age is horrible.

This should never have happened.

[Arcadia] It's a g*dd*mn shame
no one went to the funeral.

Where was everyone
who received help from Pablo?

It seems we've suddenly become outcasts.

Don't t*rture yourself, Arcadia.

It's all because of that b*tch, Helena.

I've never trusted that woman
for a second.

Helena will do whatever it takes,
as long as she's achieving her goals.

I'm gonna tell you something,
and I'm gonna say it because, well…

Because it's time to clear the air here.

It's going around that Claudio and Helena

have been videotaping people
without their consent

to extort money and favors out of them.

Now, I'm not sure it's true,
but that's what they've been saying.

It could be a rumor.

-[Arcadia] You can't be surprised.
-[phone chimes]

Claudio was just as corrupt as his wife.

Oh! There's been some news.
They just found Claudio.

The unexpected finding
of businessman Claudio Martínez

has caused major waves in this country.

A few minutes ago, the magnate
was admitted into intensive care.

However, his present condition
is still unknown.

If Claudio Martínez is alive and well,
then it begs the question

as to why the funeral was held
just a few short days ago.

I had to tell Livia
Pablo threatened to k*ll her.

How else could I explain the body
they cremated wasn't my father's?

Don't drag me into your bullshit.

Magic, please. You have to help me.

If someone asks or if Livia contacts you,
then just cover for me.

-I'm begging you, please.
-[hangs up]

[reporter] Ms. Martínez!

Did you know your father was still alive?

Who was holding him hostage?

How was it possible a funeral was held
for your father if he wasn't even dead?

[Rebeca] What's Iván doing there?

-Can you give us some space?
-You, sir? And who are you? Her boyfriend?

Is that really Dad's girlfriend?

No, Pato, no.

-Give us a statement on what is happening.
-No comment, sorry.

Just a few words!

Look, on behalf of my whole family,

we appreciate all your concern
regarding the health of my father.

But we ask for some privacy.

We are just as shocked as everyone else.
Thank you.

Do you believe your father's kidnapping
is related to the DA's sex tape scandal?

I trust that the authorities
will do their jobs,

and will open an investigation
to clarify things.

My family and I believe in justice.

We want those kidnappers to pay
for all the damage they've caused

to my father and my family.

I have to go now. Thank you.
I'm gonna see my dad.

Thanks again. Thank you.

The kidnappers
kept your husband heavily sedated.

When we found him,
he had overdosed and nearly died.

-Why would they do something like that?
-So he wouldn't fight back or escape.

Besides Antonio and his caretakers,

was there proof
of anyone else's involvement?

Uh, Antonio? What Antonio?

His head of security.

We found him at the church
where they were hiding your father.

He escaped, though.

We still don't know where he is.

-[breathing shakily]
-You okay?

What's wrong?

Antonio…

It can't be.

Hey, it's okay.

You'll be fine.

[Octavio] Hey.

What do you know about Dad?

He's in intensive care.
That's all we know. And you?

-[knocking on door]
-You…

[doctor] Excuse me.

How's Claudio?

The drug levels in his system
are very dangerous.

-We can't say anything right now.
-But he's going to be okay, right?

We don't know for sure.
We'll have to wait.

I'm sorry.

-Just be patient.
-[Octavio] Doctor, I'll walk with you.

I need to know. Is he…
Is he awake right now?

[tense music playing]

[Livia crying softly]

You want something to drink? Some water?

The only thing I need to know from you

is if Antonio had an accomplice.

The one thing I can say
is that if it was up to Antonio,

he would have k*lled him.
Claudio wouldn't be alive.

Was it something you saw?

Or something you heard?

[sighs]

[music fades]

My love, there's something
you need to hear from me

and not through the media.

[Fer] Why, Mom? What's happening?

-Promise me you won't lose it.
-You're scaring me now.

Claudio's alive.

[tense music playing]

Huh?

No. What are you saying?

Stay calm, Fer. You have to listen to me.

Claudio will k*ll you,
so don't tell me to stay calm.

No, he's not gonna do anything.
Just trust me, I'm with Iván.

We're leaving here right now.

Where are you going? I'm coming with you.

No, no, no, no. Stay at the clinic.
No one can know your location.

I'll come for you.

Iván and I will come for you
as soon as I'm able.

-I promise. Be there soon. Love you.
-[door opens]

[doctor] Mrs. Rivas, what are you doing?

-You can't go in the state you're in.
-I'm getting out of here.

I'm signing my own discharge.
You can't stop me, I feel fine.

Tell us what the discharge protocol is,
so we can go.

[paper cup drops from vending machine]

[Octavio] I don't trust those two.

I trust Iván.

They beat the f*ck out of him,
and he still protected me.

He's not a good guy, Livia.
Don't kid yourself.

I don't know what's going on with you.

You and I should be together
against her and that f*cking gigolo.

You're asking what's going on with me?
I don't know you anymore.

I'm your brother.

Your blood.

All the things we've been through
since we were little?

I still don't know what your relationship
is with Magic. Wanna tell me?

[scoffs] Don't you dare.

Don't forget that I was kidnapped too.
And tortured.

The real question is, why does Magic
care so much about those videos?

Hm?

Think about it.

Is he extorting our dad
for his own purposes?

[music fades]

[respirator hissing]

-[nurse] Only a few minutes, Mrs. Helena.
-[Helena] I understand, thank you.

[uneasy music playing]

Why come back here?

The game is different.

You don't have any power over me anymore.

If you ever come near my son
or Iván again,

I'll k*ll you with my bare hands
if I have to.

You piece of sh*t.

[music fades]

You waiting for Helena?

Yeah.

I want to tell you something that…
may sound a little stupid, but…

-Maybe I shouldn't tell you, it's just…
-[sighs]

-I feel I…
-Livia, you're right.

Maybe you shouldn't say it.

I love Helena.

[sad music playing]

Octavio hates you.

He thinks you're the worst. [chuckles]

And…

I know my brother has done
some questionable things,

but I can't rat him out to the police,
'cause I love him too much.

[Iván] He's your family.

[chuckles] I totally get you.

You're a good guy.

I don't know why, but…

I trust you completely, Iván.

-[sighs]
-[music fades]

We still don't know
who's working with the bodyguard, sir.

That's why he needs to be found.

But without resources, I--

Sofía, you never got the authorization
to work on this case.

I know.

However,
with the little resources you had,

you've done a tremendous job.

Yeah. Thank you so much, sir.

Benítez helped me a lot in this case.

I'd like to keep him
with the investigation. He's--

Whatever you need, Sofía.
You have the green light.

You can start putting a team together.

Even if you want to move to Mexico City,
there'll be people there to support you.

But, Sofía, let's avoid
any more sex tapes, okay?

Got it.

We don't know who else besides Pablo

went to these parties
at the Martínez house.

-Nice work, Sofía.
-Thank you.

[Helena] Do you think
this is the right choice?

[Iván] You'll be better off here
than at that b*stard's house.

[Iván sighs]

I'm still so afraid
he'll do something to Fer.

No, as long as I'm here,
that won't happen, okay?

["Hoy tengo ganas de ti"
by María León and Yahir playing]

I'd do anything to keep you safe.

I promise that as*h*le will never hurt you
or Fernando ever again.

[song continues]

[music fading]

[grunts]

[groans]

You have no power, Claudio.

We have all those videos. Even yours.

We have those videos.
We're gonna ruin you, you piece of sh*t.

[grunts and groans]

-Antonio.
-Hey! What's wrong?

-It's okay.
-I know you…

You're safe.

It's okay, I'm here with you.
I'm here. Stay calm.

[gasps]

Breathe. Just breathe.

Just breathe. That's right.

-Good.
-[breathing heavily]

I need to find Antonio.

[breathing heavily]

I'm sorry, but… Antonio has escaped.

Let's let the police look for him, okay?

[Sofía] This is a picture
of Antonio Grajales.

We believe he's the one responsible
for the kidnapping of Mr. Martínez.

I would like to count on all your support,
sharing this image as much as you can.

The sooner we find him, the better.

-[Claudio breathing heavily]
-So many things have happened.

Pablo k*lled himself.

He tried to k*ll Helena and…
She was here in recovery, until yesterday.

So she's fine?

Yeah.

I need to talk to Helena.

They're together, aren't they?

Yes.

[breathing heavily]

[Claudio] That son of a b*tch fooled me.

They finally got what they wanted.

All this because of those damn videos.

You know everything, don't you?

We're all suffering
because of those videos.

[suspenseful music playing]

Why did everyone believe I was dead?

They used Octavio.

Magic and Pablo forced him
to identify a body and say it was yours.

So you're saying that no one
really cared if I was still alive,

or if I died in that hole.

I'm here to see my father.
Is it all right if I go in?

[nurse] Mr. Martínez has limited visits.

Only one person at a time,
and he's currently in with his daughter.

You'll have to wait.

-Okay, thank you.
-No worries.

[music fades]

Have you talked to your dad?

Did you ask him about those videos?

No, I haven't seen him yet.
I was just on my way in.

I'm waiting for the, uh…

-Oh, hey. How is he?
-Dad's awake now.

And he's stable.

Okay, so I'll go in now.

No, uh…
He wants to talk to the police first.

[Fer] I'm glad
you're out of the hospital, Mom.

Yeah, I feel pretty good.

But you're not going
back to the house, right?

You can never be sure
what that son of a b*tch Claudio will do.

Claudio is still in the hospital.

And I think what I'd like to do is
I'd like to stay at Iván's place.

That idiot has to be good for something.

Mom, we have to get
as far away as possible.

No, I don't want to go anywhere
until you recover.

Mom, please.

I can't get better
knowing that he's still out there.

When you told me he was alive,

I wanted to run away
and do as many drugs as I could.

-No.
-But I didn't.

For you.

-And for me.
-I'm glad.

But I'm done fighting.

If you really want me to get better,
we have to go somewhere and start over.

Away from Claudio.

If you want, you can bring Iván along.
I don't care, but please, I'm begging you.

Let's get out of here.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

[sighs]

All right.

I'll speak with Johnny
about getting your discharge.

I don't think Iván
will have a problem coming too.

-Thank you.
-[emotional music playing]

Wow! It's exactly what I wanted!

I promise we'll go
to the park and play soon.

[Rebeca] Go test it outside.

Iván?

We saw you on the news.

Who was that girl you were with?

[exhales]

I thought you were always busy with work,
and that's why you don't live here.

-Rebeca, we've already talked about this.
-We'll talk about it again.

Why are you involved in that mess
with the Martínezes?

I'm just trying to help out.

If you have time for that,
then you have time for us.

We're your family.

Look how Pato's growing.

He needs his dad.
He needs a father figure.

Come and play, Dad!

[music fades]

Detective!

[Sofía] How are you, Claudio?

Congratulations, I hear you were promoted

because of the work you put
into finding me.

I hope you can close this case
before your baby is born.

That depends on the information
you give me, Mr. Martínez.

We still have a lot of gaps to fill.

Your disappearance.

The death of the DA…

What do I have to do with those things?

The leaked video was filmed
at your home in Valle de Bravo.

It's from one
of the many parties you held.

You have proof, of course?

[tense music playing]

No, I have no proof of what happened
the night you went missing, Claudio.

All I have is the testimony of Iván Díaz.

Well, I can tell you right now.

This journalist, Iván Díaz,

wanted to conduct
a personal interview with me.

But we ended up
having a disagreement, and we argued.

After our little altercation,
he left the house.

[panting]

[grunts]

There's nowhere for you to hide!

Antonio!

[groans]

Bring me that b*stard!

[breathing heavily]

What are you waiting for? Move it!

-[Claudio groaning]
-Bring the car, quick!

You thought you were untouchable, yeah?

But no, boss.

Everything you do in this life,
you pay for.

Move it!

Give me the g*n.

-You know what you have to do?
-Yes.

[breathing heavily]

[winces]

[grunts]

-[g*nsh*t]
-[screams]

-f*ck, that's gonna hurt!
-[groaning]

[Sofía] I already suspected
that Antonio, your driver,

had shot himself intentionally.

But I'm still unclear about the reason
behind your disagreement with Mr. Díaz.

Because he confessed to me
that he was in love with my wife.

He was going to take her from me.

Of course we had a disagreement.
Who wouldn't?

According to Mr. Iván's testimony,

he was invited to your house in Valle
to have sex with your wife.

And with you.

Mrs. Helena didn't show,

and he refused
to be intimate with you alone.

I'm telling you exactly what happened.

Would you prefer to have this conversation
with all my lawyers around?

[Sofía] Hm.

The lady who was taking care of you
when you were kidnapped,

testified under oath
that Antonio, your bodyguard,

worked with an accomplice.

Any clues as to who?

My list of enemies is long.

It's impossible to keep track.

-Hello, Martha.
-Good morning.

Gersen.

I need you to remove all the stuff
from Antonio's room, okay?

Throw them in the trash
or whatever you want.

Yes, miss. And how's the boss doing?

He's fine.

I'm heading back to see him
after my shower.

-Thank you.
-Very well.

[door opens]

-What-- What the f*ck, Antonio?
-Livia, Livia! No, no, don't worry.

-No, no, no. Get out of here!
-Please.

I would never hurt you.

Did you tell my dad the same thing
before you kidnapped him?

Livia, let me explain. I need you
to understand what's real here.

Everything I did
was to protect you, I swear.

Your dad is involved with some
very dangerous people, not only Magic.

-Like people who recorded those videos.
-What do you want?

You want me to say
that I'm impressed by that?

Or maybe you want a quick f*ck or a hug,
but you lied straight to my face!

You made me believe you were helping me,

but you were distracting me
so I wouldn't look for my father!

Please, Livia, don't raise your voice.

You made me think that Octavio
was behind all of this. Why?

Why do you want to hurt my family?

You've never been a family, Livia.
Don't you know that?

Why can't you realize that I'm trying
to save you from your own blood!

If you don't come with me,
you'll end up like your poor mother.

Or like my dad, who dedicated
his whole life to serving Claudio.

For what? To be treated like an animal?

In time, you'll realize
that I did all of this for one thing.

So I could be with you, Livia.

I love you.

Come with me.

Let's start a new life, please, Livia.

No. No, no, no, no.
I don't think I can trust you.

How do I… even know that
what you're saying is for real?

You don't. I'm here
because I'd do anything for you.

Oh, really?

You say you'd do anything for me?

Okay.

Then f*ck me.

[Antonio groaning]

[Livia] No! No, no, no, no! No!

[tense music playing]

It's good to see you, Dad.

I thought you were too busy destroying
my company to come and see me.

I haven't left the building
since I found out that you were alive.

Only because you're scared shitless,

after everything you've done.

Why don't you start off
by explaining whose body it was

that you fortuitously
tried to pass off as mine?

I've already made that clear.

It was to protect Livia and the family,
because Pablo threatened us and--

You felt threatened, did you?
You felt threatened?

That's your problem, son, you're weak.

You're weak and you're stupid.

That's why you fell to your knees

and paid Magic
the money he said you owed him.

Antonio told me, step by step,
everything you did,

and how stupid
most of your decisions were.

He knew that was the worst t*rture
he could give me.

All I did was try to clean up the mess
that your supposed death left behind, Dad.

No, no, no, no, no.

You just wanted total control.

You didn't care if I was alive or not,

if I was kidnapped, or if I was dead
at the bottom of the lake,

just like your mother!

At least your sister
had the decency to cry for me, but you…

You showed me
that not only are you stupid,

you're also a heartless prick.

-I'm your father, god damn it!
-When has that ever mattered to you?

What the f*ck does that even mean?

You've spent your life telling me that no,
I don't live up to your standards,

that I'm nothing!

You've been beating me since I was a kid!
Now, what? You want compassion?!

The worst news that I've ever received
was that you are alive.

You have no idea how many times
I locked myself in my room

after you'd beaten me!

And I'd cry!

I dreamt that someone would come in
and save me from it all.

And that dream went to sh*t
every time you showed up again.

[Claudio] Mm!

If you'd only grown a pair of ba*ls,

you'd have come and k*lled me
with your own bare hands.

You deserve a much more
painful death than that, Claudio.

You have to pay for all the sh*t you did.

What you did to Mom,

all the abuse you piled on Fernando.

And Helena,
even though she's a f*cking b*tch,

deserved a better husband than you.

You've gone completely psycho.

Filming important people
so you can blackmail them?

I'm ashamed to have the same name as you.

Good. That's fine.

Seems we finally agree on something,
don't we?

From now on, you can be on your own.

You're no longer my son.

I don't want you in the office,
I don't want you near my home.

I don't want you near my family again.

You can try living without my influence,
without my money, without my name.

Get the f*ck out. Go! Get out of here!

[grunts]

[heart monitor beeping rapidly]

-Any news from the hospital?
-No, not yet.

But I really don't think
Claudio will stay in there for long.

-[Francisco] Mm.
-We need to have all of this up-to-date.

[Hugo] The good news is
that since Claudio's absence,

Octavio has been making all the decisions.

If anything goes wrong,
we can blame it on him.

[phones chiming]

HUGO MONTERO'S OTHER BUSINESS?

[unsettling music playing]

[music fades]

[Octavio] I wish you were dead.

Son of a b*tch!

-Did you call me, sir?
-Yes, Martha.

If you could, I'd like you
to help me with my suitcases.

-I'm moving out.
-[Martha] Ah.

-Make sure you get it all, okay?
-Yes, sir.

Oh. Have you happened to see Livia?

She arrived a while ago,
but has been in her room ever since.

-Okay, thank you.
-Yes, sir.

Wait a second. Helena, do you really think
that now is a good time to leave town?

[Fer] Would you rather wait for Claudio
to get out of the hospital and find us?

Mom, are you sure
we can trust this as*h*le?

Fer.

I trust him completely.

I understand the decision seems hasty,
but Fernando needs this.

-So do we. We must get away from Claudio.
-I'm sorry, but I disagree.

What will the police do when you're
called to testify, and you're not here?

It'll raise suspicions.

[Fer] Let them ask questions
from somewhere else.

Where? What's the plan, Helena?
Where are we going?

Do you have the right documents? I…

Sorry to disagree, but it's not that easy.

We can't just drop off the earth.

We have to do this thing right.

This is the best time to confront Claudio.
He has a lot of explaining to do.

His disappearance, the videos,
his connection to Magic.

Helena.

We can't ruin this opportunity.

Please stay.

[Fer] Mom, come on!

-This guy's trying to brainwash you.
-No, Fer, I'm trying to protect you.

You can stay with me as long as you want.
This is your home, I don't mind.

Here, you'll be safe from Claudio.

[sighs]

[dramatic music playing]

[beep]

CRISTINA-HELENA FIGHT

[Cristina] Get out of here right now.

-No! I don't care what you say!
-[Helena] Cristina, calm down!

[Cristina] You sl*t!

You ruined my life, you f*cking b*tch!

-I'll k*ll you!
-Let me go, Cristina!

[Cristina] Say what you did!
How could you do this to somebody?

You talked to my family! How dare you?

Livia?

Dad kicked me out of the house.

I'm leaving now. I want to say goodbye.

Open up!

-Livia?
-Sir?

-[muffled moan]
-Here.

I have the keys
to every room in the house.

-This one is for Ms. Livia's.
-Thank you, Martha.

-Can you help me with the rest of my bags?
-Of course.

Thanks.

-Livia?
-[muffled cries]

What happened to you?

It was Antonio.

The son of a b*tch dared show his face?

-[breathing heavily]
-Where did he go?

-I'll k*ll him, that b*stard.
-[Livia grunts]

Hold on. Are you all right?

What did he do to you?

-[crying softly]
-Okay.

I didn't want Livia to suffer.

It breaks my heart
that I may have hurt her.

I told you that keeping Claudio alive
was going to be dangerous.

[tense sting]

The plan will continue.

Claudio's a dead man.

He has no idea what's coming.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music ends]
