Hello?
Felipe's assistant gave me all the information you wanted.
Great. That's exactly what we needed.
Thank you.
Braulio found me near Altagracia's company.
-What were you doing there? -I have nothing to do with that.
It's not my fault.
I've been trying to convince Monica for days,
but she's so stubborn.
She's so worried about money.
What are you talking about?
Monica is selling sandwiches in Altagracia's company.
Look, Lazaro, Monica won't leave just because you ask her to.
She will. I'm her father, after all.
She's just as stubborn as me.
I hear you.
-Lazaro? -Regina?
How did you find this place?
I didn't give her the address, I swear.
It's okay, I'm not here to hurt you.
Are you kidding me? He's drunk.
Sir, I know a few tricks, but this man looks dead.
-That's the idea. -Excuse me?
What did you say? Where are you going?
No, no, no. Wait. Wait...
Why did you kill her? You said you'd only take a few pictures
of her and the congressman!
I love it when you talk to me when we make love.
Why are you so quiet?
You know? I wish life was like this all the time.
You and I away from all that crap out there.
Why are you saying that?
It's... Miguel Preciado.
Why are you talking about that man here?
Because his disappearance became personal for me.
The detective told me that I'm the main suspect in that case.
I don't understand.
I think he's dead.
I think the person that killed him is trying to frame me
to make me look like Miguel Preciado's murderer.
This could be a symptom of something more serious.
I've felt this way a few times before.
I get dizzy.
But hey, look at me, I'm still alive.
You're probably overreacting. It's no big deal.
Still, we should run a few tests.
I know, but Monica hasn't been able to get all the money.
She's making more now, but...
she's also buying the medicine and all that.
Say no more.
Since Lazaro is already here,
please do all the necessary tests.
I'll pay for it.
No.
I want to help your daughter too.
She's my family too.
I brought you a little something.
-Really? -Yes. Open it.
It's gold.
It's beautiful. Thanks, but...
It's 24 carats. It looks worn away because it belonged
to my mom, rest in peace. -Your mom?
-I can't accept this, Gabino. -Please, Monica.
It's a token of my appreciation. Don't reject it.
No strings attached, really.
It's just a... a gesture.
-Gabino... -Please.
Good evening.
Oh, you're back on your feet?
Too bad your case is still limping.
The guy that shot you sure knows how to hide.
You couldn't even see his shadow, could you?
Are you going to keep asking me personal questions?
Personal?
At the hospital, I asked him if he had a wife or lover
to rule out a crime of passion.
Yeah, and my favorite color is green.
Zodiac sign, Aries. Won't you write this down?
-You want to know my team, too? -No, we'll leave that for later.
After all, in a soccer game, a good one,
there's only one winner.
I have to go, Monica.
You have a beautiful house. I had a great time with you.
The time we spent together was very special.
Thank you.
Sir.
I didn't know...
you and the cop were dating.
And I don't know who's the woman you're in love with, Saul.
You see?
We both have secrets.
We're not as good friends as we thought.
Coming.
Coming!
Hands up!
No, no, gentlemen. This is a set-up.
I don't know who, but someone's setting me up.
These are the jewels we recovered
from all the pickpockets that we've arrested lately.
Check the reports to see if they were claimed.
What do we do with the rest? It's all gold.
-With this ring, I could... -With this ring
you could get a "yes" out of the woman you love.
But shush, okay?
Is that what you did with that bracelet you took yesterday?
Just see it as... as a bonus.
Your ex-husband is up to his neck
in the murder of his favorite prostitute.
You killed the woman?
You wanted to see Felipe against the wall.
Well, we did just that.
It's an outrageous murder, he won't be able to get away.
He's lost everything.
I didn't authorize you to kill that prostitute.
You didn't need to go that far.
You should've asked me.
You told us to take care of Felipe.
Sorry, but it was effective.
The job is done.
Monica is busy, she can't come.
He's her father.
She needs to know what's going on.
Okay, now you're scaring me, doctor.
Lazaro has a brain herniation.
Something inside his skull is exerting pressure
and displacing the brain tissue.
I've had a bad feeling about that cop
since he went to the hospital to question me.
Why are you so interested in Gabino?
I'm not interested in him, I'm just worried about you.
Yeah.
You shouldn't date him.
Well, we're not dating.
Monica, you're very important to me.
Have a nice day.
You too.
The person in charge is here.
Who is he? A minister? A prosecutor?
Or a Supreme Court judge?
I'm all those things, dear.
Oh, and one more.
I'm the Lady.
Yes. It's me.
Sorry to say this, but looks like your party
and your colleagues turned their backs on you, darling.
I'm all you have left.
"Congressman charged with murdering a prostitute."
Such an embarrassing case, and a juicy one for the media.
-You planned all this. -You think?
Dad, you don't need to be shy with me.
Tell me the truth.
Were you in a frat or a satanic cult or something like that?
This is the group you told me about, right?
What happened? You never saw them again?
You were very young, but it's obvious this one is you, Dad.
Who are those guys?
Nobody.
They're nobody, Emiliano.
Nobody? They all have the same tattoo.
I'm sure this is that group you used to get in trouble with...
-Don't jump to conclusions. -I'm not. You told me that.
The picture proves it.
See? I'm a good reporter, like Mom.
Back then, you were living in Veracruz, right?
Yes.
And I left it all there.
When I moved to the capital, I left all those memories behind.
And your tattoo, too.
What did that mean? Why did the five of you get it?
That's enough, Emiliano!
Don't ever mention this picture or these guys again.
Are you so mad that you needed to burn the picture?
I'm not very fond of remembering...
the stupid things I did when I was your age.
Your grandpa was a very busy man, as I am.
I don't want to make the same mistakes he did.
I didn't mean to upset you. I was just curious.
Curiosity killed the cat, Emiliano.
So Lazaro is terminally ill?
The prognosis isn't definitive right now.
There could be some damage to a part of the brain
that will affect his breathing or his blood flow.
Please, doctor, just tell us.
How long does he have?
In these cases, the complications
caused by the herniation usually result
in cardiac arrest.
My estimation is he has less than a year left.
I can do whatever I want with my life!
We need to talk about your life, Lazaro.
Try to calm down, Lazaro.
What's wrong? What do you need to tell me, Doctor?
Why are you all looking at me like that?
Saul won't rest until he finds out the truth.
How can we stop him?
Or will you let that guy find out?
Of course not.
But I don't want him to be framed either.
You heard the doctor.
Your condition is very serious. You could die.
I don't want the treatment.
I'm willing to sign all the necessary papers
to free you and the hospital from any liability.
Lazaro...
What I do with what little time and money I have left
is my decision.
Lazaro, please. If it's because of the money, I can help you.
Look, Lazaro, if you want more time to secure a future
for Monica, I suggest you accept her offer
and start taking diuretics.
All right.
I'll take that medicine, but in my house.
I don't want Monica to know I have a fatal illness.
A check for me?
Your reward for all the time you spent informing me
about Saul's health.
That was just a favor. I didn't do it for money.
I made it out to the bearer
so you can use it at the hospital.
I heard you still don't have enough for your father's bills.
I appreciate it, but I can't take it.
-Why not? -Because.
I'm not used to being helped.
What about the rest of your family?
They could help you.
Like, I don't know, your mother?
Did I say something wrong?
You won't tell my daughter? Can I trust you?
You two, don't say anything either.
I agreed to come here because you promised
Monica wouldn't know.
So stop crying and do what you promised.
I'm only asking about her because it's odd
that you have to take care of your father all on your own,
with the help of your friends, like Saul, for example.
He... Saul and I are not that close right now.
Saul is busy with his life, and I'm busy with mine.
Did he tell you what's keeping him so busy?
No.
All right, you may leave now.
So what's the plan?
The plan? We're going in there as technicians.
We need to watch the surveillance videos
of the day before he disappeared.
Hi, Emi.
Diego and I came to see why you skipped class today.
It stinks in here. You can't smoke in the house, man.
What's that? I didn't know you could draw.
PRECIADO SHIPPING
Well, this is weird.
They're gone.
What do you mean, they're gone?
The files have been erased from the hard drive.
First the secretary, and now the videos?
Something's off here.
Did you tell anybody we would come here?
We did it just in time, Altagracia.
What do you mean?
My contact at Preciado Shipping told me
there were two guys asking questions.
Who are you calling?
No, one more, one more.
-The next day. -One second.
Hi, Altagracia.
Hi.
I haven't heard from you lately.
I'm in Veracruz, investigating Miguel Preciado's case.
Right. You need to defend yourself from those accusations.
All right, I'll see you some other time.
Good luck in your investigation.
