Come back. Come back to where you belong.
Excuse me, sir. You have a call.
I was told it was the Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
I'm on my way.
I have to go, princess.
I'll leave the door unlocked, but please don't leave.
I'd like to talk to you a bit more.
Ernesto Martinez is a thug, a criminal!
That's why Alondra's mother asked me to look after her
and keep him from finding her.
Alondra is very angry with her father.
Do you think she assaulted him?
I can't judge a child who had such a difficult childhood.
I've tried to provide for her as best I can,
but she's rebellious.
She grew up with a lot of pain and anger towards the world.
You really care about her.
As if she were my own.
That's what we need to focus on.
We need to find out if the police have her.
If they do, why haven't they reported it?
You think so?
It is a possibility.
Is she here legally?
Her mother bought her fake papers when they first arrived.
Alondra was just a girl at the time.
-I'll go look for her. -This is a mess.
I don't want you getting involved.
Eliza, I'm choosing to get involved.
Well, then let me go with you.
Okay.
Let's go.
Martinez.
I'm sorry, sir, but it seems the call got disconnected.
Should I try calling the Secretary's office?
Yes. I'll wait.
You could be accused of kidnapping!
We're not in Mexico, Ernesto! We can't do whatever we want!
What are you doing? I don't understand!
-Why didn't you tell me? -I had to be sure.
Sure of what?
No! No, no!
-No, what? -No, no!
What is it?
Help! Please!
Help!
-Let's go. -Who are you?
Come on. I won't hurt you.
Easy.
Let's go.
What is it?
Where are you going? What...?
-Damn it! -What are you looking for?
-The girl! -What girl?
What are you talking about?
What happened?
I don't know, sir. A short circuit, maybe?
The room is on fire.
Put it out it already!
Paula!
Why'd you help me?
Next time, throw a slipper instead of a shoe.
-Fine. -Get her out of here.
-Who are you? Why are you helping me?
-Where are you taking me? -Home. You gotta rest. Seatbelt.
It was Alondra, Paula.
I bet this was the only way she could get close to me.
Right, and you had to hold her hostage?
I had no choice.
Was I supposed to let the gringos arrest her?
That would get us into more trouble!
I want you to let me do my job.
Why'd you talk to her? You had no reason to.
Because she's my daughter.
Can you imagine what she's been through?
She must be very scared.
She lost her parents. Please try to understand.
What's up, partner?
Who knows what that idiot did to the cameras?
What idiot?
A guy from the new consul's security team.
He asked to see the feed
and I was dumb enough to leave him alone here.
We're screwed, man.
Why are you screwed?
I let a reporter without an invite in.
He gave $100!
And now the consul's security chief is asking
if we noticed anyone suspicious.
What did the guy look like?
He was about our height.
He wore a black suit and white shirt.
That's the same guy who deactivated the cameras!
If someone finds out about this, we're screwed.
If you saw nothing, I saw nothing.
-Deal? -Deal.
Someone must've helped her get away.
There's no other explanation.
Not necessarily.
Alondra was a very smart girl. She always got her way.
She's so smart she learned how to start fires from afar,
avoid being picked up by security cameras,
and disappear without a trace?
Really?
Spare me the sarcasm.
Maybe she took advantage of the fire to get away.
-Trejo! -Yes?
Well? Do you know how she escaped?
No.
I'm sorry, but no one really knows.
I questioned the guards
and they didn't notice anything suspicious.
What about the fire?
It seems some wiring short-circuited.
We don't know, sir. We'll need an expert opinion.
No! No way!
-I don't want strangers here. -We need to...
I don't want anyone looking into
and discovering what actually happened.
Where are you going?
To see my son.
You won't see Charlie again.
You won't.
You can hate me, but please don't hurt Charlie.
I told him the truth about you and he doesn't want to see you.
You'd love for that to happen, but it isn't true.
I'm the one who talked to him.
Charlie realized years ago that we don't get along.
He's sad because of it,
but he's smart enough to understand that our separation
is what's best for us all.
Are you turning him against me?
You know I'd never do that. Let me through.
I said you wouldn't see him and you won't!
-Want me to call security? -Fine! I won't make a scene!
I won't let your insanity hurt my son, you hear?
Not you or anyone will keep me from him!
-Lower your voice. -Nothing will!
Oh, God! Where could she be?
At least we can rule out the police and ICE.
Maybe she's with her father.
I pray to God she's not.
Why? Is he that bad?
He had my bakery in Mexico set on fire!
My mother almost died!
Promise you won't tell anyone what I told you about Alondra.
I won't.
I was so worried about you, honey!
What happened? Are you hurt?
Can you believe it?
Many famous actors worked here before they became famous.
This city has plenty of actors who don't work in their field.
Mark is helping me make my dreams come true.
Lucky?
No.
You're very talented, Frida.
You sing very well and you're beautiful.
You also dance like a goddess.
-You'll be bigger than Shakira. -Right.
Liar.
Don't believe me?
Nope.
-Wanna bet? -Nah.
Come on.
Wait. What are you doing?
Come here.
We're already here.
I'll show you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I wanna present to you the most beautiful
and talented woman I know.
Frida!
Give it up for her!
Whoo!
Frida!
Encore! Encore!
You haven't told me why you and Joel
were outside the consulate.
We weren't together. He was following me.
-Don't know why. -What?
He was following you? Why would he?
I have no idea.
Hey, Patrick. What's the update?
Did anyone see him at the consulate?
And how is she doing?
Understood. See you tomorrow.
What happened?
Alondra is home. She's safe and...
What'd he say?
She didn't say a word during the car ride home.
She didn't say anything.
Hey, hey...
There, there. It's okay.
Sofia, look.
What matters is that Alondra is safe and sound.
