Interrogation of Mr. Esteban Arco

regarding the homicide
of Miss Tatiana Mendieta.

On 30th of January, at 9:00 a.m.

The people demand it! Justice for Tatiana!

So, tell me, when was
the last time you saw Miss Mendieta?

Two nights ago.

-She came to my house.
-What for?

Tatiana
and I had a relationship.

A casual one.
But she became obsessed with me.

She showed up at our house that night,
very drunk and caused a scene.

I called the cops.
The security guards came.

They're all witnesses.
My wife's a witness.

Tatiana, ultimately, left on her own,

and I stayed home with my wife.

I can show you the security
footage if you want.

Yeah, I definitely wanna take a look.

-Tatiana Mendieta k*lled herself.
-Thanks so much you for your conclusion.

That's for us to determine once we receive
the final forensic pathology report--

Great, let's wait and see.

Then you'll realize
that I'm completely innocent.

But if what you want is to interrogate me,
pressure me, draw your own conclusions,

or sell your cheap story to the tabloids,

then we'll have to be
in the presence of my lawyers.

Oh, you're definitely gonna need lawyers.
Trust me.

Well, look, I wanna show you…

a work of art
that Miss Tatiana Mendieta made.

-She made it before you k*lled her.
-You know I didn't do this to her.

Well, I recommend
you cooperate with us on this.

Otherwise, you might end up
spending the rest of your life in prison.

-Why don't you think about your daughter…
-I believe we're done.

You m*rder*d your lover
just like you tried to m*rder your wife.

-What?
-You heard me, m*therf*cker.

What a coincidence.

First, the attempted homicide
of your wife, and now your lover's dead.

-You're out of control.
-You almost managed to k*ll your wife!

Do you want me to end
your pathetic little career?

Don't push me, or I could have you sued
for abusing your authority, officer.

Just look at where you are.

I don't think it's my life that's over.

You think I'm scared
of a second-rate detective?

This second-rate detective's gonna throw
you in jail, you smug m*therf*cker.

"THE PENDULUM OF THE MIND OSCILLATES
BETWEEN SENSE AND NONSENSE" CARL JUNG

The people demand it!
Justice for Tatiana!

Danger!

Wait.

What happened?

What happened is your husband is a menace.

That man
shouldn't be sleeping in your house.

Right now, I gotta keep him
within arm's length, you know that.

-I do, for many reasons.
-Uh-huh.

-Wanna meet in your apartment?
-Yes.

The Hidalgos caught
in the crosshairs of a new scandal.

The case of the supposed suicide
of Tatiana Mendieta,

the purchasing manager
of the Medusa conglomerate.

They won't leave. That fat woman
is still howling away down there.

They almost hit us.

It turns out we're responsible
for that secretary's death.

She was not a secretary.
What's the matter with you?

-Show some respect. What's it to do with?
-So what, dude?

Guys, the point here is that everyone
thinks Mendieta's death is suspicious.

-That's what I say.
-The point is…

Never in history has Medusa's image
been worse than in this moment.

Bárbara,

is it true that Esteban
was having an affair with her?

How long has Esteban been cheating on you,
Bárbara? What the hell?

You should know…

How long has
that moron been cheating on you, huh?

-He says it ended a long time ago.
-You can't be f*cking kidding me.

If it wasn't a suicide,
Esteban is the prime suspect then.

That man's a m*rder*r, an assassin.

-Clearly.
-All right. We let the police decide.

We need to be prepared for any scenario.

-We got to kick him out of Medusa.
-Out of the family too.

It's Bárbara's decision.

Kicking him out of Medusa is the leader's
decision. That would be my brother.

I am. I am.

Kicking Esteban out at this point

would be to sentence him
before the police can even investigate.

So, whether you guys like it or not,
Esteban is one of us.

Technically, he isn't.

Removing him would send
a clear message that, at Medusa,

we have a zero tolerance policy
for this kind of behavior.

Esteban was having
an affair at the company,

and no one ever said anything.

But now that it's gone to sh*t,
we're gonna talk about it?

What's the solution?

Look, I'm not sure
what the right solution is,

but getting rid of Esteban
will only make it worse.

Do you have anything to say?

I do, but I'm no longer
the head of this company, Cristian.

It's my choice then.

Esteban stays. Period.

Danger, don't be like this.
We both had an understanding.

You know I just want you to be safe.

Esteban!

I'm not interested in what kind
of understanding you and my daughter had.

-Damián, you know--
-Shut your mouth!

And only open it to speak to reporters.

Use that stupid f*cking face
to make everyone think

you had nothing to do
with that woman's death. Am I clear?

Okay.

-Okay, what do you… What should I say?
-You'll restore this family's reputation!

I want to address

the rumors that are circulating
involving the painful…

and catastrophic death
of the late Tatiana Mendieta.

I cannot fully speak as to why
Tatiana Mendieta took her own life,

but I assure you that neither Medusa

nor her position, as purchasing manager,
had anything to do with it.

The authorities are fully informed
on the matter,

and we here at the Medusa headquarters

will be in full cooperation
so that this tragic situation

is resolved as soon as possible.

To the Mendieta family,

please accept
our most heartfelt condolences.

Come on, how many times
you gonna watch that video?

Did you find any proof?

We know they were in a relationship,

but it doesn't give us
plausible reason for an arrest.

The thing is, if we can't prove for sure
that Esteban was involved in this,

my dad will end up making
sure he never goes to jail.

Of course, because if one
of his own takes the fall,

the whole family goes down with them.

He only wants to keep himself untarnished.
His family comes second.

What happens
if we find incriminating evidence though?

Well, if he's to blame, he has to pay.

I'm more worried about Maya.

Oh, no.

You got a problem with me?

Oh my god.

So embarrassing.

So, your father cheated on your mom, huh?

Your father's a real dumbass b*tch,
just getting his old a*s caught.

Leave me the f*ck alone!

-A cheater, a dumbass, and a k*ller.
-Hey, that is not true!

And I'm sure he bribed the police.
That's what my parents say.

And the Hidalgos?
You're just a bunch of mobsters.

Mobster!

-Yeah, they're mobsters.
-Shut the hell up!

-Aw! Oh, no!
-Poor Maya.

Let go of me!

Give me your hand.

Why didn't you go
for a more natural prosthetic?

The skin-like ones are incredible.

No, no.

My finger no longer exists.

I have to get used to this new reality.

I have no reason to hide it.

♪ I'm Medusa ♪

All right, shall we continue
with the Hidalgo family drama?

Can we talk about the shocking revelation

of that woman
being Bárbara Hidalgo's husband's lover?

♪ I am Medusa ♪

f*ck me.
Did I burn this sh*t again?

f*ck.

♪ How much I'd give to have her ♪

♪ My life, my life
I would give my whole life ♪

That's right!
I'd give my whole life. m*therf*cker!

♪ I know
You are committed to someone ♪

♪ I know you have someone who loves you ♪

♪ But it is well worth it ♪

♪ Risking to have your love ♪

Put myself at risk. No sh*t.

No, no.

g*dd*mn it.

Any idea when your dad
might come home tonight?

Mm… I suppose, kind of late?

Just wondering if I should wait.

You mind if I use your bathroom.
Is that ok?

-That way.
-Thank you.

-Hi.
-Can I help you?

Uh, I was looking for the bathroom,
but I couldn't find it.

This house is as big as a castle.
Do you know where it is?

-Right there.
-There it is. Thanks.

You're welcome.

YOUR FAMILY IS THE ROOT OF EVIL

FAMILY OF CRIMINALS

Do you know how you get ahead
of all those losers who bully you?

Whoever strikes first, strikes twice.

Why do you know about that?

I got bullied a lot in school.

I won't tell you what they called me,
but you know what I'd do?

I'd take away their power.

I'd say everything
I knew they were gonna say first.

They'd have nothing left to say.
That's what you should try to do.

And what if that doesn't work?

Then screw it.
Start throwing punches. Grab--

Or just ask your mom.
I'm sure she can give you great advice.

What happened, Maya?

Why are you here, Detective?

Some kids at school
are bullying me 'cause of dad.

You ignore those assholes.
Don't listen to anyone.

-Or you can follow the advice I gave you.
-What advice?

To throw the first punch.

-Whoever punches first, punches twice.
-Danger, come on!

It's definitely effective.

Anyway, I gotta go.

I came to see your husband,
but I've gotta leave.

See you later.

-Good afternoon. Thank you.
-See you later, Detective.

Sweetheart.

Look.

This is the one I chose.

What do you think?

Give me a break.
I have enough sh*t on my plate

with this detective up my a*s
encouraging the notion

that I was involved
in Tatiana's death. How dare he?

Now you come in here
and interrogate me too? Baby, please.

No, this is not an interrogation.

-But I do have every right to know.
-I'm telling you it was suicide.

-Is it a relief for you?
-Huh?

-Are you relieved?
-No-- What's wrong with you?

It proves
that I had nothing to do with it.

But, instead, you listen
to that sh*t-eating m*therf*cker.

Like it or not, you're gonna have
to answer for that woman's death.

No. That was a such long time ago, babe.
That wasn't--

Should I believe you?

I'd expect my wife would.

Honey, that girl was out of her mind.

She got obsessed with me.
Go talk to security.

-But that woman is dead, Esteban.
-Oh, God.

She's dead.

-Do you really feel nothing?
-What do you mean? Of course I do.

I feel bad for her.

And her family, and--

I had nothing to do
with what happened. I'm serious.

Baby, listen to me.

It's one thing to have slept
with this girl a couple of times,

within our terms.

It's a very different thing to…
to have been in a relationship for years,

have fallen in love, then she committed
suicide 'cause she was devastated--

No, no, no, no, no, baby. No, no, no.

No.

You and I have
nothing to do with this.

Nothing.

Okay?

Okay.

Does praying make the guilt
of what you did to my mom and I go away?

Come here, sweetheart.

Come, sweetheart. Come here. Come.

-Let me go!
-Sweetheart, listen, please.

-Listen to me.
-Did you m*rder that woman?

-No. No, baby.
-I don't believe you!

Darling, I understand that you're angry.

It's normal, my love.

But it's a bunch of gossip, I promise.

And so much jealousy
because we have money.

Your mom believes me.
You think if she didn't, I'd be here?

I don't know.

But what I do know
is this family is crumbling.

It's not crumbling, Maya.

It's not crumbling down.
Your mom and I won't let that happen.

-Give me a chance--
-Mom has a thing for the detective!

I saw the way they looked
at each other when he was here earlier.

Anyway, I gotta go.

I came to see your husband, but…

I've got to leave.

-Good afternoon. Thank you.
-See you later, Detective.

It's hilarious how you think
you're playing her

when it's my mom who's calling the shots.

My queen.

It seems like we have some information
about what happened to Tatiana.

I'll let you know
as soon as I see the report.

Gabriel wants to talk to us.
Wanna meet in your apartment?

Gabriel?

Didn't we agree that he wasn't working
with us on this thing anymore?

Well, but he insists.

It's got to be important then.

-Wait, but I don't think that--
-Sandrita, five o'clock.

For a massage.

-Love you.
-Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'll see you there.

You are mistaken if you think saying
that'll solve all of our problems.

I know it won't but…

I'm not gonna let the mistakes
I have made ruin my marriage.

Baby steps, Esteban.

Baby steps.

-So, meet you later at Medusa?
-Uh-huh.

See ya.

Are you sure about this, dude?

Of course, man.
The findings show that it wasn't suicide.

Blunt trauma to the victim's head
caused her death.

Plus, it's evident that the body
was moved and placed in the tub.

And the cut on the basilic vein
is exactly the same.

So she didn't cut her veins herself.

That is correct.

f*ck, that poor woman, g*dd*mn.

I was just looking for you, dude.
Hey, what's up, bro?

-Hey, brother.
-All good?

-Good.
-Give us a moment.

-Of course.
-Thanks.

Thank you!

Bro, look at what I have for you.

Digital sent me this sh*t.

Look who decided to make a cameo

on Tatiana Mendieta's
building security cameras.

That's Esteban Arco, m*therf*cker.

No, no, no, but wait.

It gets weirder.

See? Thing is, there's no record
of when the guy came in,

and no one
announced themselves in the building.

But the cameras did capture him leaving
Tatiana Mendieta's apartment.

Brother,
meet Tatiana Mendieta's k*ller.

And who the hell is this f*ck?

Excuse me.

Oh, my little girl! Oh my god. Why?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Stay strong.

I'm deeply sorry, ma'am.

My little girl…

Are you teasing me?

You think I'd be here if I was?

Swear to me.

I swear on my life.

I'll go wherever you want,
wherever you say.

You think after finding you,
I'd just let you slip away?

And Bárbara?

It doesn't really matter to her what I do.

-What about your daughter?
-I'll bring her.

Do you seriously think

that Bárbara and her family
are gonna let you take Maya?

I'll find a way, honey. I'll find a way.

But just hang on,
we'll figure that out as we go.

Enough with the talking.

Shut up already.

Seriously, shut it.

Just be quiet.

Come on.

Will you go speak to her?

Many times
what we imagine in our brain is just that.

Imagination that doesn't let us see.

Well, I'm not imagining anything.

I wanna go speak to Bárbara
because I need her to remember me.

And how do you think
she will respond to that?

I don't know.

I don't know,
but I can't stay quiet any longer.

Listen, I will speak to the community.

And if for any reason,

things don't work out
the way you imagined them,

do not forget your path, all right?

Eluney?

What're you doing here?
I was just leaving.

I have to talk to you.

You should've called.
I have a meeting. What's going on?

I wanna talk to you about the two of us.

-Right now?
-Yes, now.

Bárbara, I need you to remember
that you and I were very much in love.

And I want you to remember
all the plans that we made together.

What plans?

Bárbara, you really don't recall anything?

Because I feel like you might, actually.

And that you're only doing this
to accept what suits you best.

Why would you even say that?

If you don't wanna remember me,
that's fine.

But my community and I will not be
underestimated by you, understand?

Our guide is sacred, Bárbara.

And just because you lost your memory

doesn't mean
the agreement we made is lost.

Don't forget that.

The final forensic report
came back,

corroborating
that Tatiana was indeed m*rder*d.

No…

Honestly, it doesn't surprise me
because Tatiana was a really…

joyful girl.

She never talked about suicide
or anything like that.

Well, here.

This is the video
of the person who k*lled her.

Who is that?

I don't know,

but that m*therf*cker's probably going
to lead us straight to the source,

which I can say with certainty
is the same person

who tried to carry out the attack on you.

-You think there's a connection?
-Without question.

But why Tatiana, huh?
What's she got to do with it?

I don't know, maybe she was actually
involved in my accident.

It's Mr. Cristian.
He needs me at the office immediately.

-I'm sorry. I've gotta run, ma'am.
-It's all right, don't worry.

You know that
whenever either of you may need help,

I'm available 24/7.

Hey, shut the door properly
when you leave, my friend.

Sure! Thank you!

Jesus Christ, it took him long enough.

Mm, I'm exhausted.

I know. You don't worry.

I'll give you a massage
like the five-star ones you're used to.

Would you like a massage too?

-Huh?
-I want two.

-Mm… How about three?
-Mm…

ESTEBAN
NEW MESSAGE

Damn. We should play a little music.

BABY, LET'S MEET AT THE FLAT

I HAVE AN IMPORTANT CONFESSION TO MAKE
ABOUT DETECTIVE CARMELO

I hired Carmelo to follow you.

I had gone mad with jealousy.

I could never accept
the open marriage you proposed to me.

Forgive me, baby.

At that time,
I thought I was gonna lose you and…

that's why I contacted Carmelo.

But what happened was that
this guy became obsessed with you.

He's been following you ever since, honey.

I'm not sure, but…

…I think he might have something
to do with Tatiana's death.

It's very obvious
that he wants to frame me,

so he can keep the life I have…

and you.
