Dominium.
Dominium!
CC: TELEMUNDO NETWORK
Wow, this place is amazing.
Mom, are you sure about this?
Of course I am, Silvana.
Now that you've graduated from high school,
you need to start making adult decisions.
The things you'll learn here will give you the push you need.
I have several friends who've enrolled their daughters
and they say the Dominium method is excellent
and very effective for girls like you.
I know you're nervous, but you two have nothing to worry about.
I'm sure you'll get used to it in a few days.
Your father and I are certain
this will be a wonderful experience for you.
Welcome.
I'm Soraya, the general director for the Dominium program.
Jose Hiriarte, nice to meet you.
This is my wife Genoveva
and they're my daughters Ariel and Silvana.
How beautiful. I was looking at your profiles.
Well, the family's profile
and I think the Dominium program will be a godsend.
Jose... how are you?
It's a pleasure to have you here.
I didn't think you'd make it.
The elections are in a few days. You must have a lot to do.
Especially after the death of your opponent, Mr. Lopez.
I can't deny that things have been a bit tense.
I heard on the news that he was leading in the polls.
Actually, we were pretty even.
Anyway, I didn't come to talk politics, like we agreed.
I've brought my daughters to join your program.
Ma'am, thank you for trusting us.
My pleasure.
Welcome.
How old are you?
19, sir.
Silvana just turned 18.
You're at the perfect age to start the process.
When you return home, you'll return as free women.
We hope so.
You can be sure of it.
Mom, how long are we going to be here?
As long as it takes.
Let's go.
Grab your things, girls.
I'll take you on a tour of the facilities.
This way, please.
Thank you.
A pleasure.
What do you think?
Off the bat, they're going to need a lot of training.
Pay close attention to them.
I think they could be good candidates.
During your stay here,
these will be your beds.
The first thing you're going to do every day
is make them like this.
Perfect.
Now I want each of you to take a schedule.
Here are all the activities.
Class times, group meetings, and meal times.
The rulebook is also attached.
I suggest you memorize it... today.
These are the clothes you'll wear for physical training,
unless you're told otherwise.
Is that too much for you?
No. No, I...
I'm glad it's not. You know why?
Because character can only be created through discipline,
order, and lots of perseverance.
The Dominium system has no room for weakness.
That's why your parents brought you here.
They don't want you to weak. They want you to be strong.
Now you'll both give me your phones.
-No! -What?
Why our phones?
Why not?
-I need it. -No, you don't.
That's why you're going to give it to me.
There are no distractions here of any kind, understand?
Your phones.
Very well.
Now I need you to get ready and report to your first class.
Hurry up!
Life is a road full of challenges.
Some will be simple choices,
but others will be complex challenges.
Today's world is full of people who can't overcome
those challenges and they stay stuck
in negative situations for years.
These poor individuals allow their lives to be consumed
in a never-ending cycle of tragedy.
Their bad vibes deplete our energy.
We have to stay away.
The point of Dominium is to avoid falling
in this vicious cycle.
Ariel.
I don't understand anything.
Then pay attention.
This process is a rigorous training of the body and mind
to gain full control over our emotions,
which generally lead us to darkness.
In your case, you'll become empowered women!
Owners of your destiny.
It's time to open our minds to vital energy.
Dominium.
Dominium...
Ariel...
Are you awake?
Yeah.
What do you think of all this?
Did you know this place was like a training camp?
I'd read something about Mr. Luis and the program,
but I didn't know how it would be.
Don't you think it's a little harsh?
Depends.
If you're weak, it'll seem harsh.
Are you saying I can't do it?
No. I'm speaking in general.
Mom and Dad gave us this opportunity,
so we should take advantage of it.
You think so?
Not everyone has the luxury of joining this program.
From what I know, it's very exclusive and expensive.
We're already here. Let's do our best.
Don't you think?
Well... yeah.
What happened?
Hurry, hurry! Make your bed!
Silvana! Hurry up!
Ariel, what is this mush? Oatmeal?
Don't know. I think so.
It looks awful.
What choice do we have? Everyone's eating it.
So our Royal Highnesses don't like their food.
Too bad.
I suggest you eat it.
You won't get anything until lunch
and you have a lot of work to do.
I'm so tired. This wheelbarrow is so heavy.
I have to take it to the garden, which is far away.
I never imagined we'd have to grow our own food.
We can switch if you'd like.
-My arms are giving out. -Ariel! Silvana!
What are you doing?
We're taking...
You're slow, that's what you are.
This needs to go to the kitchen right now.
Hurry up!
Sir.
How are our sissies doing?
They're giving me a lot of grief.
Really?
They're your typical spoiled, rich girls
who've been given everything
and have never had to work for anything.
I don't see anything special in them, sir.
I see potential.
How long do you think it'll take
before they're ready for the next level?
The younger one is weaker, but she's rebellious.
The other tries to follow the rules,
but she's not at your level.
I want them ready for the next phase.
It's all up to you.
I hope you can follow through like you have with the others.
Remember... if they fail, so do you.
The new girls have finally arrived.
Looks like today was too hard for you.
You won't last here long.
There's no room for bums here at Dominium.
Don't listen to her. Let's shower.
What happened?
There's no hot water.
Shower, you pigs!
This is dinner? A salad?
I don't see anything else.
At least give us some bread.
Is there a problem with dinner?
I don't see how.
Everything was grown in our garden.
It's organic, like I'm sure you two like.
Is there anything else for dinner?
We're starving.
Hunger is a deceitful feeling.
It makes us feel as if we are weak and empty.
Therefore, our natural reaction is to overeat.
This precarious desire can be dominated by your mind.
With the right training, you'll understand
that we don't need as much food as we think.
We've already discussed this many times before.
All excess is harmful.
Food is no exception.
Our bodies are temples.
As such, we should only eat fresh, organic foods
in the right amount.
Everything outside range, alters your bioenergy.
It leads us astray from our goals and distracts our minds.
Girls, focus.
Enjoy.
I could eat three hot dogs right now.
I have snacks in my bag.
I'll give you some when we get back to our bunks.
-I have cookies and chocolate. -Yummy! I want some.
What are you doing?
You this is forbidden! Mr. Luis just told us at dinner.
We're starving. Please!
Let's see.
That's mine!
Let her go!
Leg her go!
What's all this screaming?
This idiot and her sister were eating this.
Good job, Marta.
So you like chocolate?
We're going to talk to Mr. Luis about this.
Walk.
Now!
I'll take care of this, Soraya.
You may go.
Well?
Are you going to tell me what happened?
I swear we weren't doing anything wrong.
We were just really hungry.
We're not used to eating so little.
We were exhausted after today's training.
It's obvious that the road to Dominium
will be a long, arduous process for you two.
Don't worry, though. That's why I'm here.
To help and guide you through your transformation.
First things first, though. I need to know if you want to,
if you're willing to open your minds to Dominium.
Yes, sir.
Are you sure?
Of course.
Very well.
I'm going to test a method on you
that's been infallible thus far.
I'm going to need you to think of a secret,
something no one knows.
What for?
Think about it throughout the night
and you'll share it with me first thing tomorrow morning.
Trust me, this will help you a lot during your stay here.
Careful, though.
This isn't a game.
It has to be a real secret.
Something that compromises your lives or your family's.
Think about it and tell me first thing tomorrow.
Did you think of a secret
that will help you better yourselves?
Who wants to start?
You're going to record us?
It's part of the process.
Ignore the camera.
When we finish I'll explain everything.
Begin.
It happened a year ago in Mexico City.
I was driving my car.
I had a left a party where I had drank too much.
Suddenly, at an intersection, an old lady crossed and...
I'd drank so much...
I couldn't brake and I ran her over.
After that, I panicked and I didn't stop to help her.
I kept going.
I later found out she was taken to the hospital,
but she didn't make it.
You're so brave, Ariel.
Thank you for sharing.
This secret will work perfectly.
And you, Silvana...
what do you have for me?
Well... I...
All I've ever done is snoop through my boyfriend's phone
to find out if he was cheating on me.
And he was.
That won't work.
It's not serious enough. We need something good.
I haven't done anything worthy of being kept a secret.
Maybe something about your family.
Maybe you could tell me something about your parents
that could compromise all of you.
