into this boy.
I always knew that deep down he harbored bitterness.
I'll tell you one thing, though.
Just like I made him,
I can destroy him just as easily.
I have some bad news, Laura.
We can't sign today.
I just got a call informing me to postpone until tomorrow.
I know that makes things very complicated for you,
but you need to be at that signing.
If you're having trouble with that call,
why don't you take this and let us go?
You're under arrest by order of the president of Colombia.
Should we ask Aurelio for help?
No way.
Aurelio's not going to like what I just did.
I don't want any trouble with him.
Tell your men to put their guns down.
Let that be a lesson to you, Contreras.
-Let's go. -Let's go!
Isidro and I have made up our minds.
We're going to work with you.
Hey.
Should I tell Mecha you're here?
No, I'll go in myself.
There's nothing left but to say goodbye.
Aurelio.
I don't understand. What are you doing here?
Hey, sweetie.
I can't believe it. We have so much to talk about.
I want to know everything that happened.
What'd they do to you? Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Are you still working?
Everything that happened with Ismael...
I can't believe you're here!
Don't forget that I'm your biographer.
Yes, yes, I have a lot to tell you.
What about you, though? What are you doing here?
Working, like always.
I came to conduct some interviews.
The woman who runs this restaurant
is an immigrant leader of sorts.
Her story seemed very interesting.
I'm not sure if you know her. Her name's Mercedes de la Cruz.
They call her Mecha.
Mecha? No, no, I don't know her.
Do you know any Mecha? No, right?
Vitaminas, did you figure that out?
Yeah.
Okay, then let's go.
I have to go. Great to see you.
Call me.
I want to write a second part to the book.
Sure, I'll be in touch.
Bye.
Take care.
You too.
Hi, how are you?
I'm looking for Mercedes de la Cruz.
That's me, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Carla Uzcategui.
Human remains from different decades continue to be found
in the mass grave that was discovered
in this region of Colombia.
The Human Rights Council is currently documenting
some cases that have been shocking to all.
Has Javier lost his mind?
It's going to be harder than I thought after this disaster.
Worst of all, he won't even answer his phone.
Hello?
What's up, sweetie?
Were you in trouble?
Yes, and I'm still not out of it.
I had a plan to talk to the president himself
to see if he'd let me stop Javier, but it was too late.
He had already ordered my arrest.
It was a good plan, sweetie.
That president is a rat like all of them.
If Javier hadn't jumped the gun, it may have worked.
From the looks of it, you haven't spoken to him.
No.
It's impossible.
He's made it clear he doesn't want to be found.
Where are you? Who are you with?
Rastrillo and Pompeyo.
We're trying to enter the next village
to try and change the truck.
I'm on my way there.
I'm not leaving you alone on this, sweetie.
You're making a habit of having me save you
from the Colombians.
What can I say, Dad?
I realized I do love this bastard.
I keep realizing how much I love you
and how proud I am of you, dear.
I love it when you're sweet.
I'm so glad you've changed, Dad.
How was Mexicali? Did you make it?
Yeah, it was great until it wasn't.
Why?
I'll explain.
Mecha is a special woman.
First, she says she's having my daughter,
and then she tells me she doesn't want me near them
because I'm going to ruin their lives.
Maybe she's right.
No, Dad, she's not.
Yeah, she is, sweetie.
Don't tell the family anything. I'm going to tell them.
We'll talk later.
Okay.
Damn woman kept it well hidden.
The owner of this place is a good lady.
She's lending us this space so we can do all this.
What a great idea.
Hi, how are you?
And all of them are immigrants?
Yes.
They're all immigrants,
and they're all working hard at this food co-op
so they can raise their families
and better their lives.
I can imagine. How are you?
And I'm guessing it's been hard for you to cross the border
into the US.
Yes, ma'am.
That's right.
Which is why we came up with this.
A lot of them cross over, get deported, and cross again.
If they close the border,
they'll have to go back to their countries
where they didn't have any opportunities.
Or in lots of cases, any rule of law.
I won't even mention all the risks.
Yes, and with no money, on foot...
from very far away.
From Panama, Colombia, Venezuela,
and even from here in Mexico.
Many of them are mothers and professionals
who don't want to be a burden to anyone.
They want honest jobs.
This is great.
Roberta, this is the reporter, Carla Uzcategui.
Nice to meet you. I know who you are.
I've seen your reports.
Thank you. The pleasure's all mine.
Roberta is a doctor and has an NGO.
We've been trying to help all these people
by giving them shelter and hope.
It's what they need, after all.
Yes.
Carla... may I call you that?
Of course.
Carla wants to see what we do and interview us.
Everything you see here is thanks to Mecha's efforts.
And she still has so much more to do.
By the way, your Virgin Mary statue arrived.
Seems like there's plenty to talk about.
I think we'll be doing more than one show on you.
I'm so impressed by all your wonderful work.
-Thanks. -Thank you.
Folks, allow me to introduce you to Agent Dalila Zuk.
Tracy, Benjamin.
Nice to meet you. Tracy Lobo.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Well, what are you up to?
I'm telling him what the plan is
once we receive the infiltration point.
What do you think?
I think it's stupid.
And I won't participate.
That's your opinion.
Yes, it certainly is.
You keep dreaming.
I'll leave you to it.
He's gonna hear what I have to say.
Bernardo.
What's your problem?
Why are you supporting her madness?
Tracy is one of my best agents.
So what?
If we suspected Corina, she's much worse.
I think you're wrong.
You're exaggerating.
She's been hiding information from you.
Plus, we're still haven't ruled out
that she wasn't one of Corina's attackers.
Don't you see what's going on?
What you're seeing wasn't possible before.
I think she'll gradually improve.
She didn't do it on her own.
It's the first time we got her out of bed.
Yes, but she didn't move because she wanted to.
It was a machine.
I'm sorry, but she looked like a puppet
with an empty, absent gaze.
I understand your point of view,
but this is the treatment that will make her respond.
There's nothing I want more.
We just have to keep being patient.
Patient?
Or wait for her killer to come finish the job.
Laura...
you don't know how sorry I am for making you feel bad
for even a second.
For making you feel uncomfortable.
I wanted you to feel at home.
I'm so sorry.
The thing is this is all very new to me.
I don't have much of a social life
and I haven't been out by myself
since I've been with Ismael.
Really?
Mmhmm.
I fell in love, got pregnant, and had my daughter.
It's not because of Ismael either.
He's the best thing that's ever happened to me,
and I don't want you to get the wrong idea.
I don't have any ideas.
Want to know what I think?
I think you're too strong a woman
to be with the Lord of the Skies' son.
God knows it's risky.
Are those the kinds of problems you're talking about?
No.
To be honest, it's hard for me to connect with people.
Because I'm afraid.
Before Ismael, I had a fiancé who was very aggressive
and abused me.
I'm an idiot.
I can see the whole picture.
I'm very sorry if I crossed a line.
You came here to do business.
You shouldn't have to be telling me this.
I'm sorry.
Maybe I wouldn't have been able to share this any other time.
Thanks to Ismael and the family's support,
I'm getting past it.
Who would've thought, huh?
Son, I'm going to Colombia.
I don't want to leave your sister by herself.
Yeah, Dad, Greñas told me.
And after what Felina told me,
it seems like Javi's in a pretty tight spot.
He might not make it.
Yeah, son, which is why I want to get Rutila out of there.
If we can't save Javier, oh well.
Blood is blood. Rutila comes first.
Another thing, Dad,
I'm really worried about Beto and Isidro.
Why? What happened?
They're acting strange.
They say they don't want to finish school
and do what we do instead.
It looks like they saw something about us online.
We can talk about it with Rutila later,
but I think it's best to send them to boarding school abroad.
They would hate that.
I know, Dad.
Diana's tried getting through to them,
but they want to talk to you.
Why lie, though?
It makes my gut turn just thinking of Santita's future.
I don't know if you understand.
Yeah, son, I do.
I just spoke to Mecha.
She's having my daughter,
but doesn't want me to meet her, for her own safety.
How's that?
She may be right.
Don't say that, Dad.
Ismael saved my life.
That's why I'm so grateful to him.
He saved my soul and my heart.
Thanks to him, I believe in myself again,
in life, and in so many things.
Plus, you have a daughter.
Whom I'll teach to love and respect herself,
and draw boundaries.
In my opinion, your daughter is very lucky.
There's nothing like growing up with both of your parents.
Yeah, but then I think about what happened to me,
and I can't understand how I ended up
in a situation like that,
which I could later no longer control.
Yeah.
I was abused too.
I was 12 years old and...
I thought I was the smartest kid in class,
but I was also the dumbest.
I thought that I could be friends with adults.
He cornered me, beat me,
and undressed me.
Laura, I think the best thing you can do
is continue raising your daughter
the way you're doing it.
Children without parental supervision
grow up to have problems.
Didn't you have your parents?
They died.
I was raised in orphanages and boarding schools.
Thank you for opening up and for the advice.
This is delicious.
Is it your recipe?
It's my grandmother's.
I have so many others like it, including desserts,
that are all traditional.
This tastes like Mexico.
And the border too.
Mecha, I'm so lucky to have found you.
This is another topic we need to talk about.
Some days I'm so tired of talking about dark issues,
violence, and never-ending corruption.
It's tough.
Well, we're ready whenever you are.
-Right? -We're ready.
I'm ready.
Maybe this will get us some more support.
Probably, you deserve it. You're a very brave woman.
Thank you.
There is one thing I'd like to ask you.
Do you know or do you have any contact with Aurelio Casillas,
the Lord of the Skies?
