UNDER THE SAME SKY
I'll put a bullet in your head before I let you leave.
Don't you care about Anita?
There's no doubt my sister chose to be with that criminal.
Don't even think about it.
Faier took the gardener.
See how easy it'd be for me to shoot you right now?
Cristobal...
I'll be fine, Dad. Don't worry!
UNDER THE SAME SKY
WEEKS LATER
What's wrong, sweetie?
Can't sleep?
You've been like this for weeks now.
I haven't been able to sleep since Rodrigo got arrested...
And today being the day of the trial makes it even worse.
Do you know what?
Sure, Rodrigo made lots of mistakes,
but he's also shown us he's human.
Don't you think?
He'd do anything for his family.
He learned that from you.
At least he learned something, huh?
Let's not fool ourselves, Adela.
It doesn't look good for Rodrigo.
Hey...
The best thing about having you and Anita living here with us...
Besides having you here with us, obviously...
Is the smell of your coffee wafting through the house.
It smells like family.
Since the cops raided Rodrigo's house,
I feel like I'm bothering you.
Come on. Don't say that.
Carlos loves having you and his granddaughter here.
He loves it.
He feels Rodrigo closer to him.
And me, too...
I finally have another friend to talk to.
Thank you.
Hello, girls.
I didn't think I'd make it, but I'm finally here.
We're waiting for Carlos. He's in the shower.
Okay.
Thank you for taking care of Anita
while we go to Rodrigo's trial, Juanita.
It's no problem.
Please don't take your eyes off of her.
I'm really scared.
Even though Fang's dead, Felicia is still out there.
To be honest, Felicia's not a threat anymore.
She disappeared the moment Fang died.
No one's heard from her.
Yeah, don't worry.
She doesn't have her thugs taking care of her anymore.
That woman's crazy.
She might try to come back and take my daughter away.
I won't rest easy until she's behind bars.
Thank you, Father.
Call me if you have any news.
Goodbye.
Why are you calling the Father every day?
Your sister disappeared weeks ago.
He gives you the same answer every time.
Isabel...
Besides being my sister's priest,
Father Domingo was also her friend.
Maybe one of these days she'll go to the church and...
I should've arrested her when I had the chance.
Cristobal, look...
Don't blame yourself.
You trusted your sister because you're a good man.
You're honest.
You're loyal to your family.
You're just saying that to make me feel better.
No...
I really mean it.
I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't met you.
Look...
When I first got here I was an idiot.
All I wanted was for the father of my son to buy me a house
and treat me like a queen.
Listen to me, Cristobal...
Thanks to you, I learned how to fend for myself.
I'm giving my son a decent life.
I know you love Alex like a son.
Do you know what, Officer Mendez?
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I love you.
Ready to go?
Yes.
Where are the kids?
In their room.
They're waiting for you.
We're in a rush.
Rodrigo's trial starts today.
Don't worry.
107 00:05:27,161 --> 00:05:28,894 I'll take the kids to the movies
and to my house if you like.
That way you won't have to worry about them.
That'd be great. We're already late.
Stop by the restaurant after the movies.
We have a couple of new items on the menu.
It'd be great if you tried them and let us know what you think.
You know me. I'm up for it.
Tell Rodrigo I wish him the best.
I know what it's like to need a second chance.
I hope he gets it.
I'll let him know.
Go. Go.
Don't worry about anything.
The gringo has a nice house.
Behave, Rudolfo...
Behave.
Lupilla...
Remember what I told you...
When it's your time to testify,
only answer what you're asked.
If you don't know how to answer,
give me a sign and I'll talk.
Got it.
Always look relaxed and confident.
Not only do we have to convince the judge,
but the jury as well.
They'll be the ones deciding your fate.
That man still blames me for his son's death.
Look at the way he looks at me. He hates me.
Relax.
He holds Rodrigo responsible.
Don't worry.
Everything will be alright.
Please rise.
The honorable Judge Abelardo Carrero presiding.
Case 548.
The People of the State of California
versus Rodrigo Martinez
Will the defendant please rise.
How do you plead?
Not guilty, Your Honor.
Then the prosecution may proceed with the case.
The prosecution may call its first witness.
Mr. Steven Vilalta, father of Erick Vilalta.
My son was a decent man.
He fought for the rights of those less fortunate...
The weak...
But that man...
That criminal...
Betrayed him...
He killed him.
That man killed him.
Did Mr. Rodrigo Martinez show up at your offices
threatening your employees?
He didn't exactly threaten them.
That was the same day Erick Vilalta was killed, correct?
Was he looking for him?
Were his thugs with him?
Yes or no.
Yes.
Thank you.
I blame myself.
I couldn't get him out of the gang in time.
What?
Don't talk like that.
You did all you could to stop him from joining them.
Carlos...
We're on your side.
We're here for Rodrigo.
But we have to be strong.
If he is found guilty, we have to help him rehabilitate himself
and become a better man when we're all together again.
We must defend him so he'll get a lighter sentence.
I know... but it's going to take a miracle.
I always did what he told me to.
He gave me orders from prison to control our business.
What do you mean by business, Mr. Ortega?
What type of business did Mr. Martinez asked you to do?
Everything we do in gangs.
Arms trafficking, drugs,
bringing undocumented people over, extortion.
Did Mr. Rodrigo Martinez ever order you to kill anyone?
He asked me to brand her.
Let the record show the witness pointed to Ms. Adela Morales.
Let me go!
Her brother left us for Los Alacranes.
He wanted us to kill her. Fang's orders.
But then he wanted the homies to believe she was dead
so they'd stop looking for her.
That's when he strangled a woman and passed her off as her.
Objection.
There's no evidence to anything he's saying.
He's a saint now, huh?
What about the time he had us working at Felicia's bar?
That was our center of operations.
One of the waitresses even died because of him.
Silence.
The defendant will speak when spoken to.
Objection, Your Honor.
The witness is making baseless accusations.
Overruled.
217 00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:15,300 There is evidence and witnesses, however,
to him kidnapping the mother of his child.
Right?
Yes.
I had to take care of her several times
so she wouldn't escape.
He threatened to kill me several times.
So if I get killed in prison it'll be his fault.
Yes.
As a police officer, I gave my testimony.
I found Rodrigo Martinez
when he was killing Jose Jimenez AKA Fang.
So there's no doubt he's responsible.
No, but I believe it could've been done in self-defense.
That's not for you to decide, officer.
Objection.
Argumentative.
I'll allow it.
I've been working with gangs in Los Angeles for years.
I can assure you Fang was a threat to society.
And according to you, who should've punished him?
The State or a man who took justice into his own hands?
A murder is a murder...
And Rodrigo Martinez took justice into his own hands.
Thank you.
Ever since I met him in prison
he told me he wanted to leave the gangs.
Rodrigo has paid for what he's done.
He shouldn't have to pay for other people's mistakes.
Did you ever see Rodrigo Martinez kill or hurt anyone?
Never.
Objection, Your Honor.
How could the witness have seen anything
if she'd been kidnapped?
You're wrong, Counselor.
I've always lived with Rodrigo.
All he's ever done is protect me and my daughter.
Oh?
If you were so happy there...
Why did you try to escape to Mexico to give birth?
I missed my mother.
I wasn't thinking straight because of my hormones.
I know I made a mistake.
Couples have issues.
But that doesn't make him a criminal.
I love him.
We need him.
Is it true Rodrigo Martinez
gave orders to have your brother,
Matias Morales, killed?
That order came from Fang.
We all know Rodrigo always followed Fang's orders.
Even Yei said he was the one who ordered you branded.
Rodrigo was not there at the moment.
True...
But things changed after he got out of prison
and met you in person.
Objection. That's not a question.
Rephrase the question.
Ms. Morales...
Is it true Rodrigo Martinez fell in love with you?
His enemy and his father's wife?
