Officer, what can I do for you?
Well, I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Consul,
but we need access to your surveillance cameras.
I'm not sure about that.
As you must know, this is Mexican territory,
and we have to follow certain protocol, right?
That's understood, but your cameras were the only ones
Who is the person you just detained?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm not allowed to give you that information,
but she's been taken to the police department.
Is she Mexican?
Excuse me. What's going on?
Is there a problem?
There was an accident, and the officer
wants to see the security footage,
but I told him we have to follow protocol.
Yes, but I guess we can make an exception this time.
We're always willing to help.
If you'll come with me, it's gonna be
just a little paperwork and after that,
you will be able to do whatever you need to do.
So... please come with me.
Come in.
Officer, go ahead.
Appreciate it.
Just make yourself comfortable.
We need to see footage of the accident that happened
just outside the consulate.
Of course, ma'am.
Nice to meet you.
Michael.
Hello, I am looking for Raquel Aranda.
She was arrested a few hours ago.
Eliza.
Any news? Is it serious?
Alright, Tomas, now you're worrying me.
You're so distracted in class
that Miss Rose asked me if everything was alright at home.
I'm guessing you said everything's fine.
Because to you, everything's fine now that Dad's around.
Know what?
I think you're using Dad's showing up
as an excuse to keep quiet about what the real problem is.
And what, according to you, is my real problem, Karina?
I don't know, you tell me.
You've been in a bad mood for days now.
You're even beefing with Benny.
What's going on?
Is it because of that Frida?
Hold on, how do you know about Frida?
A few days ago I heard you leaving her a message.
I can't do anything in that house
without everyone finding out.
Alright, enough.
I just wanted to help.
Tell me, what did that girl do to you?
Come, tell me as we walk.
No one can imagine how much a consul is responsible for.
But in there lies pleasure too.
It's like you, Alejandra.
You denounce tragedy through your art.
Through my work, I resolve them.
Would you like some coffee?
No, I'm fine. Thanks.
We can put off my signing the contract if you like.
I know your foremost concern is the accident that happened,
especially if a Mexican is involved.
Don't worry about that.
I left instruction that I be kept abreast of everything.
If that person needs our help, we will give it to her.
I assure you of that.
Do you know the woman's name?
No, not yet. But it's just a matter of time.
At any moment someone will call to inform me.
Why is she so tense?
She's doing fine, Patrick. Give her some time.
She's just reacting to the circumstances.
No, no, no, something's wrong with her.
I told you guys this wasn't a good idea, okay?
Sofia isn't trained for this.
For whatever reason she's concerned about the person
involved in the accident.
I can tell you're a very sensitive woman.
The accident has affected you.
But don't worry.
Yes, of course.
Now allow me to show you the contract we've prepared.
I think it's quite fair, but if there's anything
you don't like, please let me know.
Thank you.
Alright, here we go.
Raquel Aranda, a Salvadorian native,
has been detained for hitting someone.
There was another driver, but that person fled the scene
before the police arrived.
That's what Ernesto Martinez meant by "damage control."
That's what we need to focus on.
That's a lead we need to follow.
We don't know anything.
All we've been told is a man was taken to the hospital.
Santiago's in there trying to talk to Raquel
to get more information.
What about the baby? Is she with my mother?
-Hi, Eliza. -Hi.
I couldn't talk to Raquel. She's giving her statement.
Do you have a lawyer?
I called my contacts, but I can't get a hold of them.
Steve.
Give me a moment. I'll be right back.
Brian, you're here!
Are you going to give a statement?
Come on, cutie.
I know it's not the same as breast milk from Mommy,
but it's still good.
Oh Lord.
-Hi, Grandma. -Hi, honey.
Did I see that the bakery's closed?
What's Maria doing here?
Oh, honey.
Raquel was in an accident while on her way to Immigration.
Is she hurt?
No, she's fine, but it appears she hit somebody
and she's being detained.
Come on, baby.
You know what that's like.
Hold on.
You're telling me she sings beautifully
and has a chance to be a big star,
but you won't support her and want her to give up her dream
because you don't trust her?
Because I don't trust the people around her.
Are you serious?
You're being totally sexist.
What's sexist about it?
Everything!
So now wanting to protect her is sexist?
Yes!
Why?
Because you know that she's good, right?
You know she can achieve her dream
of being a famous star.
The least you can do, if you love her, is support her.
At least that's what I'd expect
of someone who claims to love me.
I have to go.
Think about it.
Mark, come here. Did you hear the demo?
May I ask what you did to Johnny?
I just ran into him at the label
and he said he never wants to see you again.
Is that it?
There are no more shots.
A witness said there was another car involved in the accident.
I'm sorry, but that's what we have.
Yeah, that's all.
Thanks for convincing the kid to give his statement.
I was lucky to have found him.
They'll release Raquel after he gives his statement,
you'll see.
I can't calm down until they find that jerk.
It should be that guy locked up here, not my wife!
Shh! Calm down, son.
They'll catch him. You'll see.
We've got a problem, ma'am.
So they took her to San Fernando.
And what did you find out?
Understood. Thank you.
What happened to the woman from the accident?
Any news?
Yes, we've got some more information.
Turns out this unfortunate person is from El Salvador.
Her name's Raquel Aranda.
Unfortunately, we can't help her
because she's not Mexican.
But I will seek the full support
of the Salvadorian consul in this case.
After all, it was an accident.
There's no reason for things to escalate further.
And now, please let me show you something
I'm certain you'll just love.
It's a kind of a photographic record
we had here in the consulate.
The theme: Mexican immigrants in LA throughout the years.
Look at these beauties.
Wow, they're wonderful.
This must be from the Forties. Where were they?
More or less.
Just like the records of our diplomacy,
lost and stored away in some warehouse collecting dust.
I think it'd be worthwhile to catalogue and digitize them,
to create an archive and have a real historical document,
don't you think?
Yes, of course. These are priceless.
I know.
Anyhow, that'd be your first mission in this office.
Of course, soon you'll have your own near here,
but for now, you'll have to work here with me
if you don't mind.
Of course not.
C
Great.
My passion is working alongside dedicated,
pretty people such as yourself.
Ernesto... I apologize, Ms. Miranda.
I need to speak to you. It's important.
I understand and don't worry. I'll give you some privacy.
No, please don't go. This shouldn't take long.
Wait for me.
It'll just be a moment.
Excuse me.
"Stay there"
Sofia refuses to follow even one order.
I just told you this is why we can't...
Just relax. Relax and breathe.
She knows what she's doing.
-She knows what she's doing? -Yeah.
-Are you serious? -Yeah.
What's the emergency?
Just wanted you to sneak away with me, Princess.
What happened?
You fix the issue with the security cameras?
Pastrana managed to erase the video
in which Julian's car appears.
So what's the problem?
There's a witness giving his statement to the cops
at this very moment
and if we don't do something,
Julian's going to jail.
