EPISODE 11:
THE PROT�G�

Jimena. hurry up!

What happened to your socks?
They're really dirty.

There aren't any clean ones.



Oh. it's true. I forgot
to do the laundry. Sorry.

Turn them
so they don't look so bad.

Do you have
your homework in your bag?

-Yes.
-Are you sure?

Banana shake again?

Jimena. drink it. please.

Vicky will pick you up.

As soon as you get here.
call me so I can breathe.

Please drink your shake.

Okay. then.
Let's go. it's really late.

Grab your bag.

Let's go.

Aren't you forgetting
something?

-What. Jimena?
-Car keys.



It's true.

It's always the same.
Let's go. Thanks.

FEDERAL POLICE DEPARTMENT

I'm glad to see you. I hope
you don't make me regret it.

No. no. sir.
Thank you for having me back.

I called you...

...because the International
Financial Commission...

...asked for our support.
It's a classified case.

One of their members
will visit our country.

He's coming to investigate
a financial fraud.

Sorry. sir. but what do
we have to do with that?

I can't tell you much.

But I want you
to be responsible...

...for this man's security.

-Guard him?
-That's right.

There's a lot at stake here.

It's the most important
mining company in the country.

''Mineramex''.

Yesterday.
one of their executives...

...was found dead
at a restaurant.

It seems to be a suicide.

But the situation
is very delicate.

How do you mean. exactly?

If the fraud
turns out to be true...

...we're talking about
11 billion dollars.

When will
the staff member arrive?

In three hours.

Here's the flight info.

HEIGHT: 5'7'' EYES: BROWN
SKIN: LIGHT HAIR: BROWN

''Thomas Rodriguez''.
doesn't sound very American.

He's a naturalized Mexican.

-Let's go. Excuse us.
-Good luck.

I'm about to board
the plane to Mexico.

I'll call you when I get there.

Okay.

I don't like to park here.

Stop. you're worse than Davila.
Always complaining.

By the way.
how was it with him?

More or less.
To be honest. I missed you.

Yeah?

Yes. it's me.

Jimena is my daughter.
is there something wrong?

What? I'm sorry. Miss.
I can't. I'm working.

Okay.

What happened?

There's a lice epidemic
at my daughter's school.

I have to pick her up.
They'll close the school.

And so?

It's not delayed.

Vicky. don't do this to me.
I can't pick her up.

I get that about your mother.
Pick her up...

...and take her
to the hospital with you.

I'll pay your double.

Okay.

-Now you bribe nannies?
-She can't pick her up.

Her mother has to go
to the hospital for a dialysis.

I don't know what to do.

Aneighbor can't help you?
One of her friends' moms?

You know how long it's been...

...since I last went
to a parents meeting?

-Since she was in kindergarten.
-What are you gonna do?

I'll call my ex.

In that case. I'll get a coffee.
Want one?

Bring me something to eat
or I'll get an ulcer.

I have things to do too.

Just tell me. Can you pick
her up. yes or no?

Perfect. That's all
I wanted to know. Idiot!

I don't know what was I thinking
when I married this idiot.

You weren't thinking.

Exactly.

-Isn't that him?
-I think so.

Commissioner Thomas Rodriguez?

How do you do? You must be
the people from the FP.

Inspector Elizalde.
Inspector Herrera.

How are you?

We'll be in charge of your
security during your visit.

Perfect. It's just one day.

Tomorrow morning
I'll fly to New York.

Okay. We'll take you
to your hotel...

...so you can leave your things.

Please.

I'll catch up with you
at the hotel. if you don't mind.

Excuse me.

Excuse us.

-Where are you going?
-To pick up my daughter.

-She can't come with us.
-Should I leave her at school?

-Erik won't like this.
-I know that.

I'm sorry. It's just while I
find someone who can watch her.

Don't give me that look.

You're far from being
agent of the year.

Okay. If Erik finds out.
I tried to stop you.

Okay.

Commissioner. I have
an urgent family matter.

-I'll meet you at the hotel.
-Okay.

-Excuse me.
-Please.

Jimena. please.
don't be so serious.

You should've seen
the principal.

She didn't know
what to do with me.

I'm sorry.
I couldn't leave sooner.

Let's go.

Uncle.

Lieutenant. are you
ready for the mission?

First assignment is completed.
Proceeding to the second.

Okay.

Vicky. I'm sorry to bother you.
But I need to know when...?

In one hour.
Okay. thank you.

Commissioner. this is
Jimena. my daughter.

-I know this is strange...
-What. she's coming?

Only while her nanny
comes to get her.

If it's just for a while.
that's okay.

Just for a while.
don't worry.

I don't think a burial
is a place for a child.

What do you mean?

We're supposed to take you
to your appointments.

I'll explain on the way.

-Let's go.
-Wait for me here.

Who died. Mommy?

Someone we don't know.

So. why are we here?

It's part of the case
we have to solve.

You must be
the Commissioner.

Nice to meet you.

Leave us alone.

I hope you don't mind.
but I'd prefer to talk here.

My wife's nervous
with all that's been happening.

As you please.

Yes. Vicky.

Perfect. Thank you.

Vicky will be free
in one hour. Great.

Great. you'll get rid of me
as always.

-Jimena. come here...
-Let me do it.

I don't know
what else to tell you.

I told you everything I know.

It's a long process.

I know it can be tiring...

...but your testimony
is really important.

It's a pity what happened
to Cisneros...

...but maybe that will clear
a lot of things...

...for your investigation.

I know that the
Finance Director...

...in this case Cisneros...

...couldn't do any movements
without your authorization.

Listen.
I want to cooperate with you.

But I will leave
the company soon.

Right about now?

Well. it wasn't going well
for quite some time...

...I talked to the board
and they asked me...

...to stay a little longer.

I grew up at an orphanage
when I was little.

Do you know what that is?

-Did you parents die?
-That's one way to put it.

The thing is I used to play
to picture them.

One day. they were
warriors in a film.

And another day.
superheroes.

But then I realized that...

...no matter how perfect they
were in my imagination...

...they weren't real.

And I started dreaming
with another kind of parents.

More normal.
Parents with flaws.

Like yours.

You wanted parents like mine?

Don't tell her this.

But your mom has
your picture in the office...

...and keeps showing it
to everyone that goes in.

Really?

Shall we?

I'll be honest.
Your situation is complicated.

However. if you give us
important information...

...we can give you
some kind of immunity.

What kind of information?

Do you have any document
to back up what you're saying?

Come to my car with me
and I'll give you the papers.

Excuse me for a second.

Don't worry.
I'll go get the papers.

Everything okay?

Yes. I need some information
from my laptop. It's here.

-Want some?
-No. thank you.

-Will you take me. Mom?
-Yes. I'll be right back. Hurry.

-Here you go.
-Thank you very much.

-We'll be in touch.
-I'm at your service.

Nice to meet you.

-Bye.
-Thank you.

Where's everybody else?

They're coming.

You said the girl
would only be here for a while.

It got complicated.
but it's been solved.

We're ready.

I'm sorry. Commissioner.
but I couldn't...

Don't apologize.
Try and keep...

...your personal
matters to yourself.

What did those people want?

Nothing. It's just
a routine investigation.

What is it?
What's wrong?

-Arturo...
-Are you okay. sir?

What is it. Arturo?

Help me. help me.

Arturo! Arturo!

Sit down. sit down!

Arturo... breathe!
Arturo!

Are you American?

Yes.

Why do you speak English?

Jimena. leave
the Commissioner in place.

What happened with the nanny?

She'll call any minute now.

Have you been a commissioner
for a long time?

Yes. a long time.

You must know
the Central Park office.

Yes. The traffic's
always this slow?

Sometimes it's worse.

Don't you think
that office is great?

It wasn't that bad.

Is something wrong?

No. no. I have a headache.
It's because I'm hungry.

Three sugars. please.

Yes?

Everything's fine.
We stopped for a bite.

Do you have any kids?

Sir. the check please?
We're in a hurry.

It was Erik. I have to go
back to the office.

You still haven't eaten
your burger.

You can have it.

And your fries too?

What's wrong?

He says it's urgent.
I'll see you later.

-Excuse me. Commissioner.
-No problem.

Do you have
the coroner's report?

Yes. It confirms what we know.
The guy shot himself.

His wife's statement
is what strikes me as odd.

She seemed devastated
at the funeral.

She says Cisneros
feared for his life.

-Did he get any threats?
-No.

He was hiding something to
protect her and their daughters.

That he was
really nervous lately.

Do you want me
to interrogate her?

No. not now.
Let's wait for the results...

...of Rodriguez's investigation.

-Is there something wrong?
-No.

-Well. there is something.
-Yes or no?

Afew years ago.
I took a course...

...with some people
from the Financial Commission.

Well. they had an inside joke.

Their offices used to be in
a bad spot on the West Side...

...and they called them
''The Central Park Office''.

-What's your point?
-When I made the same joke...

...he didn't know
what I was talking about.

Maybe he hasn't been
with the Commission long.

I test him saying if he
didn't think they were great.

And he said yes.

Not everybody
needs to get that joke.

Maybe.

But it made him uncomfortable
and he changed the subject.

Why would he lie
about something like that?

I don't know.
But I don't like him.

It's the way he looks.
his gaze. his face.

Let me investigate him.

Elizalde. we have a lot of work
to waste time with hunches.

It's more than a hunch.
I know what I'm saying.

What's his name?

Thomas Rodriguez.
IFC Commissioner.

What's that?

International Financial
Commission.

This agency deals with all types
of financial frauds.

Now we're talking the same
language. my friend.

Let me see what I can find.

Toby. Tom Quintero.
Here he is.

Thomas Rodriguez.

It can't be.

You expected someone
better looking?

No. a lead.
Look for a tattoo. a scar.

Afeature that differentiates
him from someone identical.

Adouble.

I like that.

Let's see. Let me see
what I can find.

''Dark brown hair.''

''Brown eyes.''

''5'7'' tall.''

Damn...

...this guy's
completely ordinary.

Look for any other type
of information.

Let's see his medical history.

He was diagnosed
with diabetes 5 years ago.

Diabetes? Are you sure?

That's what it says here.

Okay. you're welcome.

Commissioner. would you mind
if we stop at my house...

...and leave my daughter there?

-Is it far?
-No. it's 10 minutes away.

Okay. but hurry. I don't want
to be late for my appointment.

Thanks.

Wow. did you ever
think about showing up?

I need you to listen to me.
Don't react to anything.

I've been investigating. The
guy next to you is an impostor.

Are you still there?

Yes. yes.

When will you meet us?

Tell me where you're going.

Rita?

Please don't hurt her.

That depends on you.

Go straight ahead.

Pick up. Rita.

ULISES ELIZALDE CALLING

Stop right there.
Handcuff your daughter.

Handcuff her.

-Why did you call me?
-Rita is in danger.

The guy who's with her
is an impostor.

He's posing
as the Commissioner.

I've been investigating.
The real Thomas Rodriguez...

...is a diabetic.

If it were him.
he wouldn't take...

...the amounts of sugar
he's taking.

Do you have more proof?
Did you talk to the Commission?

We're trying
to contact them right now.

Rola...

BUSINESS MAN ARTURO MENDIZABAL
SUDDENLY DIES

Rola. where's that?

It's ''Memory Cemetery''.

What happened?

The Vice-president
of ''Mineramex'' is dead.

Arturo Mendizabal.

Locate inspector Herrera's van.

Here it is.

It isn't moving?

They left the van.

Send someone to find
that van now!

Davila. I need you to find
Rita's van urgently.

Yes. Rola will send you
the address.

This is really weird.

Look for the cause of death
of the Vice-president.

There isn't any information
about that.

I don't need to remind you...

...what will happen
if you get creative. right?

-Hello.
-Yes?

I have an appointment
with Mr. Villaroel.

-Follow me. please.
-Thank you.

Relax. honey.

I want to go home.

Relax. honey.
Calm down.

We'll get out of here soon.
I promise.

I need to borrow your shoe.

Okay.

We'll leave soon.
I promise.

Calm down.
Okay. let's see.

I need you to help me.
Give me your hand.

I'll take these off. okay?

There we go.

What did the people
at the Commission say?

They're as surprised as us.

The impostor contacted them
posing as Rodriguez.

What's his next stop?

I'm about to receive
Rodriguez's agenda...

...and if he follows
the same M.O...

...his next appointment
will be his next victim.

Thank you.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I have an appointment
with Mr. Villaroel.

Your name. please.

Commissioner Thomas Rodriguez...

...from the International
Financial Commission.

Your appointment's in one hour.

Miss. I have a tight schedule.
Check if he can see me sooner.

-Just a second.
-Thank you.

There. there.

Now. you feel something heavy?
Is there something behind you?

No? Let me see.

-Good afternoon.
-Afternoon.

-Please. have a seat.
-Thank you.

Can I offer you something
to drink. some whisky?

No. thank you. I never drink
during work hours.

Okay. Then tell me
what I can do for you.

I'd like to compare
the results of your last audit.

Why don't you tell me
exactly what you want?

You checked all the documents.
right?

Yes. and we found
several irregularities...

...I'd like to check with you.
Do you have the originals?

Yes. Give me a second.

Here it is. sir.
His next appointment...

...is at Mr. Villaroel's office
at six o'clock.

It's in half an hour.
We have time.

Contact his office
and warn them.

-Yes. sir.
-Let's go!

Turn right. Come on.
Davila. try harder.

You need to evacuate
the building before we arrive.

What are you doing?

Clear!

Call the coroner's office.

His agenda
consisted in killing...

...all the witnesses
involved in the fraud.

First Mendizabal.
then Villaroel.

The third was Cisneros.
but he went ahead. right?

That's right. There's
no one else on the agenda.

Davila.

The coroner sent the results
of Mendizabal's autopsy.

And he was poisoned.

Okay.

We need to find out
if someone else has died...

...under the same
circumstances.

We'll find him.

I hope it's not too late
for Inspector Herrera.

You need to see this.

This is the person
they found dead at the airport.

Although he had
a different I.D...

...they've confirmed
it is Thomas Rodriguez.

According
to the preliminary results...

...both could've been killed
with the same substance.

What was his flight number?

American Airlines flight 233.

Coming from J.F.K. Airport,
New York City.

DAVILA CALLING

Davila. call New York airport.

Ask for all the security tapes.

Yes. I'm on it.

These are the cameras
from New York airport.

Was that moments
before the flight?

Exactly. But what we're
looking for... is this.

Rewind it.

There.

Call the FBI.

We need to find
that cell phone.

-Good evening.
-Evening.

-Come with me.
-Okay.

-We don't have all day.
-Yes. hang in there. boss.

This is the FBI's report.

These are all the numbers
from that cell phone.

This is the last number
he called.

Alfredo Zafra Quintero.

Are you sure?

That's what it says here.

It rings a bell.
Isn't he a politician?

If it's who I'm thinking.
we're talking about a senator.

Let's go.
He won't escape this time.

Please.

Mr. Zafra's at a meeting.
He'll be here soon.

-Thank you
-You're welcome.

Open up!

How's your assignment
coming along?

Fine. It's almost completed.

I need you to hurry up. We
have two weeks to solve that.

You can't take any longer
or things will get complicated.

-You can't come in.
-We have a warrant!

Wait. wait!

Davila. go with Elizalde.
I need to find Herrera.

-Unit B. follow me.
-Let's go!

Why me? I paid for everything.
I don't owe you anything.

Yes. but someone
paid me much more.

No. wait. Wait.
I'll pay whatever you want.

Freeze! Federal Police!

Don't waste time!
They must be around here!

Search the vehicles!

Search all the vehicles!
Search them well!

Here!

Open it. quickly!
Open it!

Help him out.

It must be this one.

Help me get them out.

Get them out.
How are you?

We're okay.
Fine.

Thanks to several
investigations...

...conducted by
the Federal Police...

...we know now that Mendizabal
and Villaroel's death...

...were ordered by
Senator Alberto Zafra...

...who was a stockholder
at ''Mineramex''.

The politician. along with
an American business man...

...Steve Faulke. tried to cover
a millionaire fraud.

Good news. Faulke was
arrested at the airport.

Do you know why
he ordered the hit on Zafra?

Zafra. offered protection...

...and put Faulke out
of business and the operation.

If you'll excuse me.
I want to take my daughter home.

I'll take you.

No. don't worry. Erik.
We can take a cab.

Is your mother
always this stubborn?

Sometimes worse.

Let him take you home.
Okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

-Bye.
-Bye.

She's asleep.

I know what you're
going to tell me.

But I really tried to find
someone to take care of her...

The important thing is
that you're okay.

Since we're not working.
call me Erik.

If you like.

Why is it that
you never had kids?

My wife and I waited
for the perfect timing.

Did you split?

No. she died two years ago.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Well. I'm leaving.

I guess you need to rest.

Actually. I'm not sleepy.

Me neither.

Can I stay with you?

I was about to ask you that.

Would you like to know
who's your mother's real killer?

What are you doing here?

Relax. I won't kill you.

I have a message for you.

Another one?

Like the clipping
you left at my house?

Something like that.

It's from your daddy.

How does it feel to have
a father all of a sudden?

Nothing?

You're insensible.

You have to go to this address
tomorrow at 10:00 p.m.

Get some rest.

MEET YOU AT ''LA ESTRELLA''
AT 10 P.M.. IGOR
