"EVERY TRUE AND DEEP LOVE
IS A SACRIFICE" CARL JUNG.

It seems like
everything points to my husband.

I think others also had reasons
for wanting to k*ll me.

And did you remember
what you did to them or not?

Trying to find out.

But I feel we should focus
on Esteban and Tatiana

and grab the evidence
to prove it was them.

No, we can't focus only on them.

Why?

We shouldn't rule out any suspects.

I want you to know
that I'm going after your husband, I mean…

I'll start following him.

No, no. You take care of my Uncle Camilo,
I'll take care of Esteban.

You're really stubborn.

Let's do it then.

Just promise me…

that you'll be careful.

Especially when you're alone with him,

back at home,

because I won't be able
to defend you there, all right?

I will be safe on my own.

The sooner we can get a hold of the proof,
the sooner the nightmare will end.

Let's do it.

See you.

Thank you.

Bárbara Hidalgo
is not available. Leave a message.

Bárbara Hidalgo…

Oh, yeah, you like this?

Keep going.

What?

Keep going.

Babe, I told you
I was going to be with someone.

I'm not here to bother you.

Oh, so why did you come then?

I just forgot you had plans
with someone today.

Okay.

You can also have fun
with who you want to now.

Enjoy yourself,
then show me what you've learned.

See you later at the house.

What are you doing?

I'm just waiting for you.

Shall we eat?

Tell me about
that long therapy session.

I'm exhausted.
I'm not… I'm not very hungry.

Wait, wait, wait.

Huh?

-Everything okay with therapy?
-I'll tell you later after I take my bath.

Brother, brother, brother, bro!

Why would you get involved
with a married woman? Are you crazy?

Besides, she's out of your league!

All right. Take it easy.
Calm down, brother.

Everything points to her husband,
but we can't rule anyone out.

So I'm going to ask you
to tail Camilo Hidalgo.

That dude's got to be hiding something,
and we need to know what it is.

-And what will you do?
-What do you think?

Come on, bro!
You've romanticized that monster.

You never romanticize the monster!

And don't forget…

…don't forget
that this woman is also a Hidalgo.

I'm sure she's got her secrets.

She must have blood on her hands.

That woman is living a nightmare,
you know, and I'm going to help her.

So, what are you going to do
when she remembers

what kind of a b*tch she was?
She wasn't exactly an angel.

One thing at a time.

All right.
So, please, don't worry. I got this.

Hey, what's up, Esteban?

How've you been, man?

Hey, boss!
Hey there, can I have two whiskeys?

-How's everything? All good?
-Yeah, man. It's good. I'm good.

So you didn't recommend anyone to her?

No, no. 'Cause she hasn't--

She hasn't called me
for any advice or anything.

What happened?

-Do you want me to ask her?
-No! No, no, no, no.

-No, she just mentioned it, but--
-You know, it's difficult at first, right?

-Here.
-Yeah!

-Salud.
-Salud.

No, we only have folders created
with the software from Medusa.

Isn't there an app for chats?

Damián has prohibited us from using
the computer for chatting.

I can check the inbox,
where internal communication is kept.

Yes, sure, please check.

So let me see…

Hi there.

I was looking for Mr. Hidalgo.
I need his signature.

He's not here.

While you're here,
I was looking for the lists of clients

and CEOs from our vendors for the launch.

It seems that my husband left a mess here.

I'll bring them now.

Thanks, darling.

Leave us alone.

I want to ask you a question,
and I'd like an honest answer.

And I'm pretty good at detecting lies.

And I'm really bad at telling them.

Before the accident,
what was I like at work?

The ideal boss.

Could you be a bit more specific?

Well, then…

you were always an example of…
of punctuality…

-Hm.
-And hard work.

Mm.

-If you needed to tell someone off…
-Mm.

You did, and if you had to reward someone,
you did as well.

Okay.

Okay, okay. Thanks for your honesty then.

-That's okay.
-One more thing.

As I know you spend a lot of time
with my husband because of work and…

And I wondered if you ever saw him
with a woman, like, flirting?

-No.
-No?

No, and sorry for intruding.

Mr. Hidalgo wouldn't do that.
He would never cheat on a woman like you.

-Let's keep this between us.
-Of course.

If you need anything, I'm here for you.

The lists, please.

Esteban,
we have to stick to the plan.

We need to get
the hell out of Barranquilla.

Calm down, Tatiana, what is it?

I went to look for you at the office,

and I found your wife
looking for something, acting weird.

She asked, out of the blue,
if you had another woman.

Can you believe it?

And what did you tell her?

"Yeah, and it's me."

Sometimes you're like a moron, Esteban.

She was obviously testing me.

Look, they're two possibilities.
One, she remembers it all.

Two, she wants to be my best friend,
which I doubt.

We need to get the hell out of here now.

Tatiana, stop that nonsense.

Do you know what'd happen
if Bárbara finds out about the two of us?

And also about what we do to Medusa?

We'd end up in jail, babe.

Let's stick to the plan.
We'll keep our distance for a while.

Let's just keep a low profile.
It's temporary. Okay?

And then we leave town,
but when it's the right time, babe.

Brother! Hey.

Oh, uh--

-Hey! You finally came to work?
-You finally came. And with this weather?

-How are you?
-All good.

-Great.
-Come, I'll show you.

-You did something to your hair?
-I didn't.

-Are you starting to go gray?
-No, man.

-I'm not going gray.
-Seems like it. I can see some.

-You're going gray.
-Stop it. No!

In this state right here,
the mushroom is at its max. Powerful.

They're ready to be processed now
into any form, any type of product.

All the forms you decide.
There it is. They're harvesting today.

What about the suppliers? All good?

'Cause I don't want surprises.
Hold offs, issues, and--

No, man. They're confirmed.

They've delivered the goods.
The rest is up to Medusa.

And what about the launch, brother?

Come on, relax.

Wow. That's exactly
what I thought you'd say.

That's not what I wanna hear.
This is really serious, man, come on!

This has to be a success
to close the deal with the Asians, bro.

Yeah, don't worry.
On my end, everything's… checked.

No, there are things you haven't checked.
Bárbara, man, has she talked to you?

-sh*t, I told you.
-She hasn't said an--

-I told you!
-Hey.

Everything has to be ex*cuted perfectly.
One f*ck, and we can forget everything.

And knowing the old man like I think I do,
he's expecting us to f*ck everything up!

You have to slow down, Cris.
You're super stressed out.

Easy. I'm on your side. Use your charm.
I'll take care of the rest.

-You want a coffee?
-That's what worries me.

-Do you want anything?
-All right. I'll get one.

-Let's go.
-Sure.

So tell me now.

How are you doing with the new Bárbara?

-We're pretty happy.
-Really?

We're happy. It's been amazing because…

it's like fresh air,
a fresh start in the relationship.

I mean, being married
for twenty years is boring.

But since the accident, I don't know…

something happened,
and we wanna give it a second chance now.

-You've always been madly in love.
-Yeah, since high school.

For sure, I remember.

And you can't go anywhere
because you'd end up without… the money.

Oh, dude, you must really love money

to have put up
with my sister all these years.

Some people are driven by money,
others by power.

If it means going low
and doing whatever it takes… whatever.

Don't worry. I don't judge you.
I don't judge you.

If I were you,

I would've m*rder*d her long ago.

No, but she's changed now.

-Mm.
-Now she's a different woman.

She's changed completely.

-I'm glad. I'm glad.
-Thank you, brother.

All right. Let's go.
I have a meeting with the old man.

I hope you still like
your favorite restaurant.

Guess we'll see.

-Oh, I left my phone.
-Go on.

Can I have the phone, please?

Come on, babe.

All right, honey, take a seat.

Here you go.

-Would you like your favorite mezcal?
-All right.

Thank you.

Hm…

Tahini, kibbe…

grape leaves.

And, yep, I'll have a mezcal.

-But I need to go to the bathroom first.
-All right, my love.

What did we agree on?

We agreed,
but… I told you I don't trust that man.

So you had the brilliant idea
to watch us from here?

What if Esteban sees you?

Whatever. I won't leave you alone
with a potential m*rder*r.

Danger, I'm surrounded
by potential murderers everywhere.

Yeah, sure, I know that,
but I'm here to protect you.

But if he wasn't able
to k*ll me with an accident,

Esteban isn't an idiot.
He wouldn't try again.

-Have you told him anything?
-No, but I can feel he's worried.

Of course. How could he not be worried?
He failed.

If you want us to work as a team,

I'll take care of my part,
you'll take care of yours.

You got it.

What's going on, brother?

No! You kidding?

He was up to something, man.
I knew he was. He was carefully waiting.

Send me the location. I'm on my way.

I'll meet you there.

-Mm.
-Did you make your prosthesis appointment?

Yes.

It's taking a while

'cause they have to take
the impressions and so on.

Well, if you need me to call someone,
so they can speed things up, let me know.

-Thanks, babe.
-All right.

By the way, I ran into Mario at the club.

We had a chat,

and he told me
that he had no idea about your therapy.

I feel more comfortable talking
about private matters

with someone who doesn't know us.

Okay.

I just wanted to understand. Check.

Baby…

Do you trust me?

Absolutely.

I just worry about you,
and I want you to be okay.

-Hey, hey, hey. Wait, where are you going?
-Upstairs. Let's go.

-Did you bring the mic?
-Yeah, of course.

Give it.

-This is the best one.
-Yeah.

Here.

-Guess what.
-Tell me.

I made the bar's down payment.

But don't forget…

-I need the rest of the money, Camilo.
-Aha…

Of course, now Cristian is the manager.

He's CEO thanks to my vote.

-Mm-hmm.
-You know…

He'll pay the rest
of the money he owes me this week.

Wow, Camilo. You're incredible.

-Baby.
-Ah, yeah?

"Using high-tech microscopes,

we noticed that the mushrooms
were growing in large quantities."

MUSHROOMS IN MEDICINE

"And these mushrooms are found--"

sh*t, m*therf*cker, don't look.
Don't look, don't look…

"…in the north end of the country."
m*therf*cker! f*ck!

A UNIQUE AND UNKNOWN MIRACLE

So, Bárbara?
What's she up to? What's happening?

Well, she's still looking for information,
because I don't think she remembers much.

What about tonight? Is she coming?

I don't know.
But I'll find out now, don't worry.

I want to know everything.

I need to be one step
ahead of Bárbara everywhere.

You need to make sure
that she doesn't come

because we don't know what she remembers.

I'll make sure that she doesn't come.
I'm on it, sir.

Perfect.

I wanted to simplify my life,
but I'm making it more complicated.

If you're referring to me,
you have nothing to worry about.

-So you're going to stop following me?
-I wasn't following you.

I was following that guy.

Could what's happening between me and you
make you lose perspective?

-No, stop that!
-No?

Wait, "Perspective" is my middle name.

Ah, okay, Mr. Perspective.

Let's put this into perspective
right away, and let's dance.

-Here. Listen to this.
-No!

That's what you need now.
You just need a good dance.

No, man.

-Let's move that body, gorgeous.
-No. No.

Come here.

-What, now?
-Let's dance.

-Hey! Wait, but you can dance!
-Yeah, of course!

Look at you.

Well, what a dancer.

WHO IS ESTEBAN ARCO, HIDALGO'S HUSBAND?

CAMILO HIDALGO RETIRES

So he sold his vote for a bar?

That seems to be the case.

Your brother, Cristian, bought
Camilo's vote to become the new CEO,

and he promised his lover a bar.

But he could buy him a dozen?

Uh-huh, but if the money doesn't come
from his account, that's even better, huh?

Of course, then there's no trace.

Exactly.

So, do you think my uncle Camilo
has become a prime suspect?

That's a possibility, yeah.

-I have to talk to him.
-Look at the ball!

Don't take your eye off the ball!

Go on, play!

-Good!
-That's it!

In the zone,
pitch it to him in the zone, huh!

Don't throw him any ba*ls!

Hello.

What's up?

Hey, what's going on?

That's also what I wonder.
What is he doing?

I want to talk to you.
Do you have time or are you too busy?

No, no, no, no. Please, go on.

Did you vote for me
to be the CEO before the expl*si*n?

What kind of question is this?
Of course I voted for you, obviously.

It's just more logical
for you to vote for Cristian, right?

Of course,
well, after the accident, we needed to.

But… between you and me,
Cristian doesn't know where he stands.

I would really prefer it was you,
but what can you do?

It's important for me
to know who's actually on my side.

I am.

I've always been on your side.
Today, in the past, forever.

Because I love you and I always will.
I believe in you.

Jacobo is almost done,
do you want to join us for lunch?

Thanks,
but I don't have a lot of time today.

Hey.

Your turn.

What did the viper want?

Mrs. Hidalgo, how are you?

Your brother wants to know
if you're coming to the event.

He's freaking out,
he doesn't want you to come.

Is the whole family going?

They all confirmed. They're going.

Hm.

It doesn't matter what Cristian wants.
This is what we're going to do.

I think your sister is planning
something against you.

Against me? Really?
What have you heard, Gabriel?

-She has confirmed. I heard that…
-Uh?

She's not coming tonight, and she's upset

because she found out
that you're doing business with Camilo.

Who, Camilo?

Who said?

It's total bullshit.

What a lie.

Excuse me.

What's up, Dad?

I hope you won't end up failing us.

Ooh, man. Wait…

Because if you do…

that'll give the impression
that I'm the one who failed

by ratifying your designation
through the board.

It'll be fine. Relax.

-Everything is under control.
-Mm.

And the champagne,
that I sent you, was it good?

That drink is aspirational, Cristian.

For imposters.

-I agree.
-Go get me a decent drink.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah, sure.

Do it right.

m*therf*cking f*ck!

Good evening! Good evening!

Thank you all for being here.

I'm going to start by explaining
a little of the process,

and I promise that I'm going
to be as clear as possible.

So.

There, next to your father.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

How are you? Hi.

Excuse me.

-How are you? Hey.
-Good.

Excuse me.

How are you?

Hi.

Sorry.

Well, uh… All right.

By using-- By using microscopes
that… high-resolution microscopes,

we found out that… that mushroom extracts,
and their active ingredients,

exponentially increased
the mushrooms' size and their…

…growth cones at the same time.

…growth cones at the same time.

The size of the cones.

I mean, the cone
is the core of this investigation.

What for?

So that the brain cells
detect their environment…

…and establish
new connections with other neurons.

Okay.
Well, without further ado,

I mean… without any blah, blah, blah,
or to make a long story short…

…let's talk about what really
interests us, which is The Guide.

BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS

This mushroom,
which according to my vision,

will lead us to conquer
the holistic market around the world.

And it's going to transform
the way in which people today

get involved and engage
with alternative medicine.

This-- This discovery of Medusa was found

in the mangroves of Northern Colombia,

and when I saw it,
I said…

"…it's gonna be called 'The Guide'

because it will lead us
to better health without side effects."

We-- We realized that this new species
will open up a portal

to-- I mean,
knowledge of… of… of protection…

…against cognitive disorders,
neurodegenerative disorders,

and diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

Where are you going?

That idea was mine.
Cristian stole it from me.

-No, wait…
-Yes.

Thank you very much.

-Hey, Barbie!
-Hang on a minute.

-Come here!
-Hey, baby. Let's go now.

-Let's go home. It's time to go.
-Jacobo, that's enough.

-Hey, cousin!
-Hey.

Where are we going now?

Don't tell me you're going to bed,
'cause you're the real party girl.

Wait.
Don't tell me you forgot that too?

Wow, you're just very lucky.

Imagine, not only are you immortal,

now you don't even remember
your wonderful and toxic family,

starting with you.

Unbelievable, I don't believe it.

What Jacobo is saying
in front of all of us

is that simply… there are
some things that are best forgotten.

-Exactly.
-They may be true, they may not.

But whatever happened, it's done,
so good night. Let's go.

Get some rest. Thanks.

-Go home.
-I'm sure you remember everything.

Is that right?

Maybe I'm playing with all of you here,

and I already remember
what I knew about each one of you.

In fact, I'll tell you something
I'm absolute certain about.

What happened was not an accident.

One of you tried to k*ll me,

and I swear
I'm going to find out who it was.
