I know you're pretending to be nice to us
because you want to benefit from the power my father has.
That's not true at all.
I'm Alejandra, your friend.
Please don't talk to me again.
What are you even doing here? This isn't your house.
I promise to work hand in hand
with every Mexican migrant,
to show that all Mexicans are honorable, hardworking
and dignified people.
We have dreams, just like our dear Jessie did.
Today, we are all Jessie.
We are all Jessie!
We are all Jessie! We are all Jessie!
What was that reaction all about?
You've never worried about Charlie before.
Well, he's sick, isn't he?
That man keeps saying he's dying,
so I thought... something had happened to him.
What's wrong, Tomas?
-I'll be in my room. -Get back here!
-What? -Get back here!
You smell like booze! Have you been drinking again?
-I told you I don't like... -Stop it, Mom!
Get divorced if you want. I don't meddle in your life,
so stay out of mine!
Don't talk to me like that! Get back here, jerk!
Get back here!
I need to talk to... to Joel Benitez, please.
And you are?
Tell him Dr. Marquez would like to talk to him.
I need to talk to Joel
about Irene's death and Sofia Villavicencio.
Sofia.
I thought you were in Colombia, Lorena.
No, I haven't... moved back yet.
We decided...
I should stay for a while longer.
Please.
Jennifer, please. I need time.
I'm sorry.
We need to meet at the Mexican consulate tomorrow.
It's important.
Okay, Eliza. See you there.
So that's why you won't make love to me.
So that's it.
Don't bother trying to hide it. You're a shameless liar!
-You haven't changed one bit! -Think whatever you want.
Really?
But if you hurt Eliza or any of my children,
I swear I'll make you pay.
-Hurt them? -Yes!
That's a great idea, Max!
-Really. -What are you doing?
Calling ICE so they can have her deported.
-That's absurd! -No!
-Give it back! -Stop it!
If not today, tomorrow.
If I don't call today, I'll call tomorrow.
Will you ever see reason?
No. I'm crazy, remember?
-You tell me so every day. -That's enough!
Do you want to save her?
Huh?
Well... then...
make love to me.
Ernesto, I just heard the news.
You're a hit on social media. Congratulations, son!
I'd like to meet with you tomorrow
to discuss our future plans.
Every day your political future comes more into focus.
Margarita thinks Paula may have laced its content with drugs.
I don't know what to think anymore.
Alondra's acting very strange. She's not herself.
She's someone else entirely.
You've heard the stories,
plants that change people overnight.
I think it's just an urban legend.
Unfortunately, they aren't all urban legends.
Ever heard of scopolamine?
It's a substance that produces a hypnotic effect in people.
Those exposed to it are devoid of their free will
and are easily manipulated.
The substance can be obtained from several plants
one of which is the infamous toloache,
as it is known in Mexico.
How dangerous is it?
In small doses, only the person's will is compromised.
In larger doses...
it could be deadly.
I want you to be the daughter Ernesto has always dreamed of.
You regret very much what's happened in the past.
And you're willing to give your father a second chance.
I love him very much.
And I love you too, of course.
I care about you and Julian very much.
I know we haven't always seen eye to eye,
but I care about you.
You know that, right?
Ow!
Oh!
The daughter Ernesto has always wanted.
Okay, here you are.
Drink this coffee,
so you can have the courage to call that idiot.
That won't be necessary. I already called him.
What did he say?
We agreed to meet at the consulate at 9AM.
Tomorrow, my story with him ends.
Oh!
You know I always achieve everything I set my mind to.
You and I... are husband and wife, right?
What are you doing? Stop threatening me.
I am trying to get you to see that we are husband and wife.
Couples kiss, they caress each other...
-Please. -They make love to each other.
I moved back home and I left Eliza and my children.
Isn't that enough?
No. It's not enough.
Where's your dignity?
-My dignity? -Yes.
Gone. It's gone.
I lost it because of you.
That doesn't mean I'll let you two go out behind my back.
Great. So I won't see her again.
No, I already told you what I wanted.
You can do what I ask...
or...
What are you doing?
...I'll send the baker and her kids...
packing.
How about that?
Hopefully only lemonade was kept here,
and it's nothing like what Margarita suggests.
Know what really worries me?
The drastic changes in Alondra's personality.
Me too.
Maybe scopolamine was the cause of her change in behavior.
On the other hand, she doesn't look high.
She's not delirious or incoherent.
She's simply a very different person.
Well, thieves use scopolamine to drug their victims
so they won't fight back when they are being robbed.
In fact, the victims appear to be helping the thieves
and seem very pleased by the situation.
That's better.
Know what it is?
Scopolamine.
It comes from a pretty cool plant.
Natural and organic, which I know is all the rage.
Its scientific name is Datura Solanaceae.
How about that?
In Mexico it's known as toloache.
It's also known as Jimson Weed.
The point is, whoever takes it is devoid of their free will.
They become docile, kind,
and very willing to do others' bidding.
Victims behave normally, but they don't react.
They'll open their front door to let robbers in,
they'll withdraw money from their bank account
and hand the money over to the thief without complaint.
And they don't remember it ever happened.
The worse part is it doesn't have to be ingested.
It can sprayed on.
-Are you serious? -Yes.
I find that hard to believe.
Now, here's what doesn't make sense.
The effects of the drug usually last a few hours,
but you say Alondra has been acting different for days.
That must mean she's constantly exposed to it.
Meaning?
The damage done to her could be terrible.
She could suffer irreversible neurological damage
or even a stroke.
Please stop.
Please take this to the lab at once.
I told you to stop looking at those pictures.
What you had wasn't real.
It's best to forget it.
I could destroy the pictures,
but my children will always remind me of their father.
Sweetheart, no one, and I mean no one,
has ever died from a broken heart.
People grow older, mature, and move on.
I don't know why you clung to that man.
I didn't.
I'm not so foolish as to think he's still the love of my life.
But I can't turn off my feelings for him like a switch.
Know what I think?
I think you've mistaken what you had
with what you dreamed you could one day have.
Oh, Mom! What do you mean by that?
You think you still love that man, but you don't.
You just have the hots for him.
You were a very sexual couple.
-Mom! -It's true!
You thought I hadn't noticed?
Oh, please!
I knew when you'd go into a dark corner
to do you-know-what.
And of course, it all came back after you two reunited.
That's not what love is.
It's not true love.
You'll find true love with Andres.
If I could, I would...
You can do this, honey.
You'll see.
Your love for him will grow bit by bit with each passing day.
It will.
That's the good and solid kind of love.
It comes together out of people's goodwill.
It comes from experiences shared
and the differences we're willing to accept.
That's Andres, sweetie.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Mom, here you are speaking about growing to love someone
and tolerance, but you didn't put up with anything Dad did.
You kicked him out after his first mistake.
That was something else. He was a bastard!
Do you really think he was the only man in my life?
What?
I was young once too, you know.
You take after me. I was also very passionate.
I lurked in corners too. Don't laugh!
Don't be rude. We're talking about you here.
And your wonderful decision to marry Andres.
That's very good, honey. He is your future.
He is your true love.
This is the beautiful love fate had in store for you.
You don't want to see it now, but you will.
You'll see. You'll see it soon.
Cheer up.
No.
No, no.
No, Tomas! Let him go!
No, Charlie.
No.
No!
No, Tomas! Let him go!
No!
No, Charlie.
Charlie, no! Don't die!
What's wrong, son?
Don't die!
-What's the matter? -Don't die!
-What's going on? -Tomas!
Tomas!
Charlie, don't die!
Don't die! Don't die!
-Tomas! -Tomas, wake up!
It's over now.
There, there. It's over now.
