how dangerous it was to go into that guy's house.
Yes, you rescued the girl, but they could've found you.
Agent Benitez.
Welcome.
I'm guessing an introduction isn't necessary.
Suffice it to say that this is extremely confidential.
YEAR 2017
Few people know that Sofia's alive.
Alive and enjoying her freedom.
I gotta tell you something about this.
-This is not what we agreed to! -Sofia, please.
I need you both to calm down, alright?
Listen to me. Just listen to me.
Sit down, please.
Look, Benitez, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Please.
We need your help.
Oh, you guys need my help! For what?
I understand, man. I know why you're upset.
I do,
but when you listen to the circumstances
of why we had to fake her death,
you'll have another perspective on things.
Let me be clear about this, okay?
I'm not upset, okay?
What I'm feeling is a lot more complicated than that.
if you guys want me to be part of this, this is...
You know what?
Let me not get into this.
Please go ahead and explain everything.
I'm dying to understand how the woman who confessed
to murdering my sister is now here.
Two years ago, when the time came for Sofia's execution,
we came upon new information
about the human trafficking ring here in the US
that contradicted her statements.
We asked the judge to postpone her execution
in order to review her case.
We handled everything with absolute discretion.
The judge ordered Sofia to present herself in court
so he could evaluate the situation.
We told the press Sofia was headed to a hearing
to appeal her sentence.
Like I said, we covered every single angle and even then,
we didn't realize it, but there was a leak.
During the transfer...
A truck came out of nowhere and hit the van Sofia was in.
The guards died immediately and Sofia almost died.
You know what?
I used to have a television at home, so I watched the news.
You're not telling me anything I don't know.
Maybe because you're not listening.
What happened wasn't an accident.
-It wasn't an accident. -Oh, really?
It was an assassination attempt.
We apprehended the driver two days later
and the guy was a hitman paid to kill Sofia.
Who paid him?
Cummings.
Right.
Senator Irving Cummings.
He paid the guy to kill her and make it look like an accident.
Cummings was never a suspect in the investigation.
Yeah.
I know.
It was very surprising for us too.
His statement, in case you want to review it.
No offense to this, but I'd rather talk to the guy.
I'd like that too, but it's impossible.
He was found dead the next morning in his cell.
Of course he was.
How convenient, right?
The only way to protect this investigation
and Sofia herself was to fake her death.
Sure.
The judge agreed to place her
in the Witness Protection Program
to save her life and the case.
Right.
Now, let me ask you something.
Did you ever consider the possibility
that maybe she planned this herself?
What are you saying?
That I'd pay someone to kill me?
Pretty convenient if you ask me.
You were scheduled for execution.
Alright, Benitez. That's it.
Stop acting like a child and start thinking like a cop!
And that's exactly what I'm doing.
I'm thinking like a cop.
I'm exploring every single possibility in front of us.
I've had enough!
-No! -We need to work together!
He doesn't want the truth!
He just wants to keep blaming me!
That's all he cares about!
Sofia?
What the...
Look, Benitez,
we chose you because you know how things work in Mexico.
Now, we believe you can help us establish the proper links
here in the States.
And as for Sofia...
Let me cut you off right there, okay?
You wanna talk about Sofia?
Let me be straight about Sofia.
That woman killed my sister.
She murdered her and you let her go.
-You let her walk. -We're not sure she's guilty.
Tell me, you didn't know why she confessed ten years ago,
-did you? -Oh, come on!
It was so obvious what she was doing!
What was she doing?
She confessed to being head of the organization
to protect all her associates.
As for my sister's murder, there's proof that she did it.
Did it ever cross your mind
that maybe the evidence was planted?
Can you prove what you're saying right now?
Look, if they pressured her into confessing,
they could've easily fabricated all that evidence.
Who pressured her into confessing?
Has she told you?
No, she hasn't said anything.
I'm sure she's afraid their threats might become true.
What she did agree to was take Cummings to trial
and end this entire operation
between Mexico and here in the States.
Right, right!
And in the meantime, she's walking the streets.
She's free.
She's doing whatever she wants
because she's taking advantage of you
and your Witness Protection Program!
You're not listening, Benitez! Alright?
Sofia lost everything!
Alright? She lost everything?
She lost her identity, her loved ones, her family.
You know what that feels like, don't you?
Yes, I do.
Look, Benitez.
I've gotten to know Sofia.
I don't think she's capable of killing anyone.
She didn't do it.
Jennifer threatened to take Charlie from me.
I couldn't leave him.
I couldn't be with all of you. I had to be by his side.
I wanted...
I wanted to spend what little time he had left with him.
Please understand.
Parents would do anything for their children.
Just tell me this. What did you do for our kids?
Didn't they deserve your compassion?
Deserve a father?
They deserve everything. Absolutely everything.
And I failed them.
There's nothing you can call me or tell me
that I don't call or tell myself every damn day!
I had to choose.
Karina and Tomas were okay. They were healthy.
They had a strong and loving mother.
But Charlie...
I've been watching him die little by little for ten years.
We've been in and out of hospitals...
Every time we go in, he's fighting death.
I'm very sorry.
You know?
Do you know what I think about when I'm in the hospital?
I think about what you'd tell me.
It's how I get my strength.
I think about holding you...
and hearing you tell me that everything will be alright.
Guess what. I have big news for you!
What is it?
I'm getting my visa!
-Really? -That's great!
Congrats, Grams.
So you're moving in with us?
No, sweetie. I'm just coming to visit.
You know gringos and America give me hives.
I get it.
When will you get it?
It's supposed to come in the mail in a few days.
-Hey. -That's great.
I'm going to get to pull your ears now for real
and not just over the phone.
And I'll be able to see your entire face.
That's right.
We're going to throw you a party when you arrive.
-Yeah! -That's right.
A neighborhood party!
No, come on. Don't tell your mother.
I want it to be a surprise.
Hey, guys.
Why don't you go find some soda to celebrate?
I need to talk to your baby bro.
Alright, we'll be back later.
Go ahead.
What'd you want to know about your father?
Nothing, Grams.
Don't lie to me, young man. Come on.
I think I saw him yesterday.
