PREVIOUSLY

-What do they want?
-They wanted information.

They knew Don Abel
is the owner of this place.

You wouldn't had spoken, right?

Dad, it's the first time I have
ever wanted something from you.

The more time you share,
the more time you live with her,

the more you'll fall in love with her.

Are you going to lend me the money?

Do you really think
that you're not making me uncomfortable

being inches from me, day and night?

-I don't have any other option.
-No, the one who has no option is me.



The journalist
and the First Lady were a couple

for most of the campaign time.

Where am I?

Who told you that I want
to do business with strangers?

Surely, the gun we found is just in case
you don't like what I'm saying?

You know where to throw her.

-No, please, no! No!
-Shut up!

No!

-No, no, no! No!
-Shut up!

-Throw her.
-No, no, no!

No! No!

-No, no, no!
-Throw her.

Sr. Maita!

What did she say?



Sr. Maita.

The... rescatiri.

The person who paid.

He was the one who gave me your name
and told me about you.

-It's impossible.
-I talked to him a few days

before he died.

Look, I don't know how much
Mr. Maita was paying you,

but my people can pay you $600...

for each load.

-You don't know what you're talking about.
-Of course, I know what I'm talking about!

I know that the pair is very small!

But it's much cheaper than buying
from any marketer.

And in that case,

we all win.

-How much tin are we talking about?
-A lot.

Two thousand loads for a year.

We're talking about,
at least, one million dollars...

$1,320,000.

Yes, the first flight to London.

Doesn't matter
that they carry the load, no.

From Bolivia.

No, no, no. It's already too late.
No, no, no.

No, no. I need it before.
This is urgent, friend.

Yes, yes. How much are we talking about?

Oh, damn.

No, that's a lot of money, friend.

Let me see some things here
and I'll call you back.

All right, then.

There's a possibility.

He wants 10,000. And he doesn't promise
that he can get you back.

What do we do?

I believe that we don't reach
that quantity.

And the worst thing
is the 60,000 pounds Fedor owes.

What nerve, Oleg!

With what you have been,
you've traveled around all over the world.

And now I don't have even a penny
to rescue my son.

I'm thinking about something.

I know where we can find that money today.

What if you don't manage to convince him?

No, Sheila has more words
than a chatterbox.

She is capable to convince anyone.

Look, she's coming, didn't I tell you?

Don Saturnino insisted on accompanying me.

Little girl,
I always insist you drink tea.

It's good for those women's things, too.

-My wife wants...
-No, Don Saturnino, look...

Thank you so much, but it's just
that when it hurts like this

the only thing that takes it away
are those little pills

that I have put in the safety deposit box
like a treasure.

Are you sure you don't remember
the password, girl?

I'm pretty sure.

Because I always use the date of my birth.

But I always say another date
and I forget it.

For the first time
I'm gonna have to use the keys.

Hurry up, Don Satu, it's getting worse.

-Let's go, then.
-There's no need, Don Saturnino.

Go to sleep.

-We'll take care of it.
-Yes.

Thank you so much, Don Saturnino.

Tomorrow, I will return it, I assure you.

Get well, miss.

Jonathan, do you want me to help you?

You can tell these keys are made
to be used as a last resort, you bastard.

But I'm almost there.

Be careful.

Are you sure there is enough money?

Yeah, man.

Batman and I saw Landero put
the money inside, and there's a lot.

-Isn't it?
-Yeah, a lot of it.

That's it, I made it.

No, there's nothing.

But... no, no, no.

I promise, that box was full
of bundles of bills. Really, I promise.

-We must have been robbed.
-No one has stolen from us.

That son of a bitch should carry
all the money with him.

Teresa? I'm here.

It took me all night, and nothing.

Sorry.

I'm going to open the window.

Teresa? Teresa!

Teresa!

NO SIGNAL

But, sir, at what time was the incident?

I don't know. I wasn't here.

Late last night. I need to see
the security cameras.

Sir, we don't have cameras in the rooms.

Then the cameras in the corridor,
reception. Whatever.

The hotel doesn't have
this camera service, we only have this...

So who the hell
was on the post last night?

Sir, please calm down.

If the night shift receptionists had seen
anything, they would have reported it...

Don't tell me to calm down.

There was a kidnapping in this hotel.

Sir, then I have no choice
but to call the police.

Call the police, please.

-No, not that, no.
-Eh... No.

Then, sir?

Where are you? What happened?
Where the fuck did you go?

Pablo, hi! I'm all right.

I'm here with Don Abel. He's here with me.

-Is he with you?
-Yes, yes, yes. He's here.

And I had already explained to him
why we were looking for him.

And, even though he almost killed me,

he's willing to do business with us.

-I understand.
-He's willing to meet the Russian buyer.

Do you want me to set up
a meeting with him?

Yeah, that would be great.

He creates a good proposal for us.

And maybe we can ask for money in advance.

And tell him to bring just one
of those things.

We just need one.

That's what we call guards in Mexico.

Do you understand?

Where and when
is that meeting going to be?

It's what I was explaining to Don Abel.

Well, now the Russian is in La Paz and...

Today is the meeting, in four hours.

Call me as soon as the Russian arrives.

And if he delays a little...

forget about your partner.

Let's see, start again.
And this one gives you a kick...

-Hello, baby.
-Hello.

How are you?

-Fine.
-How was your date with your friend?

-Very well, thank you.
-Really?

It was a long date, wasn't it?

Yes, the time flies.

But did you have a good time?

Yes, very good. I hadn't seen her
since a long time ago.

I had an amazing time.

We laughed a lot.

That's good!

I'm lazy,

so seeing my friends
from the past is a no for me.

I don't know, everyone does
a different thing, so...

later on, you don't have anything
to talk about.

Well, for me, it was the opposite.

A lot of chemistry, it's like...

as if we had never stopped seeing
each other.

Okay.

So you're thinking about seeing her again?

Well, yes.
Yes, I would like to see her again.

Yes, in fact, I would like to take up
a hobby we had

when we were in college.

-A hobby? About what?
-Yes, a hobby.

Documentary photography.

-Wow.
-Yes, we took workshops there, and...

we were seeing photographs.

She had them, it was so funny.

-And pretty.
-Wow!

That's why I'm late.

Hey, and I thought I knew you completely.

Well...

you never finish getting to know people,
don't you?

Never.

So? Are you going to give me permission?

How am I going
to give you permission, baby?

You're free to do whatever you want,
besides...

you look radiant and beautiful,
pretty, baby.

Do as you want. Please.

Son of a bitch.

I need you to follow my wife everywhere.

-Yes, sir.
-Talk to Susana.

Let her tell you her every move.

-Yes.
-Pay attention, bastard, eh.

I want you to pay attention to everything.
Don't let anything slip.

And when Vevita goes
to see her friend Lina,

-that one from the University...
-Yes.

...I'm going to need you
to do a little job.

What kind of job, sir?

Do you really want
to travel as a stowaway?

The cargo plane Batman found.
That's where I'm going to sneak in.

-No, man.
-What time is the departure scheduled?

At 3:00 in the morning,
but if those men find out...

They're not going to find me out.

What about airport security?

The point where they arrived
isn't very well guarded.

-There's where I think I could get in.
-It's too dangerous, Oleg.

There has to be another way.

Besides, what are you going to do
in London without the money your son owes?

The important thing is to be with Fedor.
Once I'm there, I will see what I can do.

How are you going to return?

-"Return"?
-Return. Get back.

You're thinking of coming back,
aren't you?

Landero. Go ahead.

-What do you mean they took Tessa?
-Calm down.

She's fine. At least for now.

"For now"? What does that mean?

Who has taken her?

-Abel.
-But how did Abel find you?

I have no idea. The only thing
I know is that he let her call me.

She seems to be handling
the situation well.

To rescue her,
I need you to come here right now.

-What happened, Oleg? What happened?
-Anton.

We have to go.

Mateo is coming.
He is just finishing up the arrangements.

How much stuff are you gonna carry?

He made me swear
that I won't tell you anything.

And in my profession,
the oath is totally serious.

Can I ask you something?

It's not an interrogation, you know.

It's okay, Father, you can ask
whatever you want.

What do you expect
from your relationship with Mateo?

I mean, I should explain myself.

You're here in this city
just for a little time, right?

Or am I wrong?

It all depends on my mom's business.

Exactly, so if your mom goes
to another city or country,

are you going with her?

-I don't know.
-Have you thought about it?

Sure, she's my mom.

Exactly, she's your mom.
And I want Mateo to be clear about that.

Look, in love, in friendship,
call it whatever you want,

the truth must always be there.

For example, I with these men.

You know it's difficult to deal with them.
I accept everything except for lies.

Because with lies,
a person can't build anything.

-Do you understand?
-I'm here.

-Sorry for the delay.
-Don't worry, let's go.

-See you later, Father.
-Yes, okay.

-See you, Father.
-Bye-bye. Have a good time.

God be with you.

God!

I think these kids
are just going for a walk.

Take advantage now and take a bath.

Where are you?

Hey, do you think you
are doing the right thing?

Don't you think it's a bit rushed?

Hopefully not.

Tessa has authorized
the information I gave her.

We heard that Tejada spoke with Mr. Abel.

To pretend to be a buyer of tin.

Including that thing of Sr. Maita.

Did Landero tell you that?

No, that's what I thought,
from what she managed to say to him.

God, I hope
nothing happened to Teresa.

That's why we have to hurry up.

Mr. Abel gave me four hours
as the deadline.

Why do the two of you have to go?

I'm supposed to be the Russian client
and he goes as my bodyguard.

-How long does it take to get to Potosi?
-The flight is one hour.

-It's all right.
-But Landero is buying the tickets.

I don't understand.
What are you going to do about your son?

If Landero has the money with him,
it's in my best interest

to travel to where he is.

No, man, I don't think that man
is going to give the money to you.

I'm not going to borrow it.

Here is the tracker Teresa requested.

All right.

I need a favor.

With my cell phone.

It's complicated, but I trust you.

Please stand. In the name of the Father,
of the Son, of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

You may go in peace.

-Father.
-Yes, son, tell me.

-Come with me.
-The DEA?

Are you sure you want to talk with me?

Father Gonzalo Perea?

-Okay, let's go...
-No, not here.

Come with me. It's a very important
and confidential issue.

Well, then, let me change my clothes.

Well, and what's on that beach?

Mangroves, mosquitoes, and sand.
What you find on a normal beach.

Yes, but there are restaurants, a town?

Well, that's the coolest thing
about the beach. It's lonely.

There aren't inhabitants.
There aren't tourist. It has no one.

Are you uncomfortable
that it's just the two of us?

No, no, no.

A lonely beach sounds
like the best plan to me.

I hope you won't regret it.

What are you talking about?

To take me to your place.

If I'm sure about something,
it's I won't regret this.

Friend!

I need a favor.

How much time do we have?

An hour. To get to the place
where they will pick up us.

They just send me the coordinates.

-And where are they keeping Tessa?
-On the hill.

Surely, underground.

That's why the tracker didn't work.
Did you bring the other one?

How is Tessa supposed to use it?

I don't know.

I can't imagine how the fuck
we're going to give Abel an injection

without him noticing, but...

that's what Teresa asked.

Are you sure?

Of course, I'm sure.

She told me in code.

Do you know that Teresa and I
can understand each other

much better than you can imagine?

What about the money I'm supposed
to give Abel in advance?

You're going to be responsible for this?

If everything goes as it's supposed to go,
we will talk to you to get you there.

Is that all we have left?

No, of course not.

I think I'm going to have a gun.

Otherwise, they won't believe
I'm a bodyguard.

Don't lose it, we don't have anymore.

Teresa was taken away
when they went to the room.

You drive.

Thank you.

Are you a miner?

Here.

But do you work for Don Abel?

In some ways, we can say that.

I have been his wife for 15 years.

It shouldn't be easy to work as a couple.

Especially in this business.

Eat.

And what's that? Is it a monster?

No, you can't call him that.
He's not a monster.

He is the spirit that rules down here.

In addition, he is the one
that fertilizes Pachamama.

And what's Pachamama?

Pachamama is Mother Earth.
So that she can produce the mineral.

In fact, we are so lucky.
Most of the women can't enter the mines.

Hmm.

I didn't want to insult you.

The thing is that he is really ugly.

And it's scary, isn't it?
And then, that part is...

It's a way to show fertility.
The power of the mine.

It produces much more.

Anyway, don't call him that
in front of Abel.

He's capable of killing you
for less than that.

This place looks more like a place
for an ambush than a meeting.

If Abel tells Tejada
that he's doing business

with a Mexican and a Russian,
we're going to have problems.

The same thing if Tejada tells Abel
that a Mexican woman and a guy

from Eastern Europe
are making a documentary.

I don't like how this is getting more
and more complicated.

Me neither, but...

We don't have more options.

It must be our transport, right?

Yes.

Backward and against the car. Hurry up.

Aren't you going to buy me dinner before?

-I said, backward and against the car.
-Move, move, let's see!

I'm going to do business with your boss.
This isn't necessary.

You don't decide that.

Get in, move. Get in!

Head! Hurry up!

Don't move, don't move.

And in the morning,
how hard is to get out of bed?

No, even if it's hard to believe,
I'm getting up well. It's not hard for me.

Hard to believe for you or for me?

No, it's hard to believe for me.

I think I'm becoming stronger again,

as I used to be.

I think it helped a lot for you
to be close to your son.

No, well, definitely.

It has helped me a lot.
And for him as well, for both of us.

I don't doubt that.

I think...

those who would listen to my story
wouldn't believe I'm capable

of taking care of my kid.

They would be wrong.

I think you're perfectly capable of it.

Yes, but you believe it.

Any other way, another
psychiatrist might object to that point,

don't you think?

Do you know what?

Going through the experience you had

doesn't disqualify you
from being a mother.

Besides...

this a positive evolution you are having.

That's your objective.

Thank you.

And don't you remember anything
about that experience?

No, absolutely nothing.
As if that day had never happened.

I understand.

I was thinking, and I have colleagues
that work with hypnosis.

And in some cases,
there are very positive results.

Would that be okay with you?

We could try it.

Let's do one thing.

And for the next session,

if everything continues as it's going,
to review the dosage issue.

I think it's fair.

Excellent. Meanwhile, keep doing
what you are doing.

That is exactly what I plan to do.

Susana, please go
with the gentleman to the exit.

Yes, ma'am.

-Have a good day. Thank you.
-Excellent day. Thank you.

-Let me know if you need anything.
-Of course.

This way, please.

If you brought me here,
it must be for something serious.

Don't tell me that has something
to do with my boys.

No, it has nothing to do with your guys.

Not directly.

Then who?

With Sofía Dantes.

Welcome!

I love it! It's beautiful!

It's gorgeous.

I imagine that a woman who travels as much
as you knows prettier beaches.

No, this is just perfect.

How did you find it?

Once, I was looking for a place
because I was so mad.

I don't want to see you mad.

Well, that was before.

Not anymore...

In this place, I forget all my problems.

And just this scenery.

Thanks for sharing this place with me.

Do you know this place is like you?

I can be me with you.

Come on, let me show you
the rest of the beach.

You aren't going to see it.

Hurry up.

A pleasure, sir.

I think it's too early for that, right?

As you say.

And our partner?

She's waiting for you inside.

What? Did she escape
from a prison in the United States?

What did she do?

She killed three DEA agents.

Among other crimes.

-And where is she now?
-We don't know.

In other words, what Sofía told us
was lies, it was a hoax.

I'm afraid, Father.

I think that Mateo
is tangled up in her lies.

Her sister and her husband
were eating at my house.

They look so good,
there wasn't any problem.

That husband you speak of
is Faustino Sanchez Godoy.

Former drug trafficker,
Interpol is looking for him.

Doesn't Sofía know about this?
Maybe they are hiding everything from her?

She knows.

She is on a run in Colombia.

What's the name of Sofía's mother?

Teresa Mendoza.

Also known as the Queen of the South.

I'm already tired!

Hey, wait a minute,
I don't have the same ability as you.

Then let me change positions.

No, no, no. Wait. Hold on a minute.
I'm about to finish.

It's Father Gonzo.

How do you know?

You two are the only people who call me.

I know it's him
and I'm not going to answer him.

Ready!

Let's see, let me take a look.

I LOVE YOU

I like it.

But I thought you were drawing me.

Well, that's what I see when I draw you.

Do you know what I see when I draw you?

What?

The most in-love man the Earth
and its surroundings could ever have?

I was going to say another thing,
but I like that.

Do you want me to stop?

Well, I can't tell you how happy
I am to see my partners.

We're happy as well.

Well, you can't complain.

I got you a tin supplier in record time.

So fast that I had to leave everything
to come to this meeting.

I only hope that this gentleman
has treated you as you deserve.

Well, I think you've already
said hi to each other.

Do you see that your partner is all right?

I think it's time we start
talking about business.

-All right, as our partner...
-I don't know how it is in your country,

sir, but here, the owner speaks first.

Or the oldest.

And I think I fulfill both things.

In my country,

the customer is the boss.

Sadly, you aren't my client yet.

My Mexican friend here and the gentlemen

were sticking their noses
where they shouldn't.

Well, Don Abel, I think
I have already explained that.

Look...

maybe I'm too old,

and it's hard for me
to understand some things.

And I need someone to explain it to me.

And if this is the case,

I think you're going
to have to leave my mine.

But dead.

Leave your message after the tone.

What's up, Mateo? I have called you twice
and you don't answer.

Get your act together, man.
As soon as you hear this message, call me.

Nothing, nothing.
What's the matter with him?

Calm down, Father.

You're doing the right thing.

I'm going to call him again.

Did you think this was going to happen?

I did want it to happen.

And my family was suspecting it.

And I'm not good at hiding things.

I don't know how I'm going to look
your family in the face.

Me neither.

But they were very excited.

Just like my mom.

I would like to meet her someday.

Your mom.

I don't think she has plans
to travel here any time soon.

But someday she'll have to come.

Promise me that you will introduce me.

All right,
this will be the monthly deliveries.

And this is the money of what we
would pay for a year.

One and a half million dollars.

Do you see?

As you can see, it's more than
what I promised, so you can't complain.

It's a generous offer.

There's just a problem.

I don't believe in generosity.

It always hides something.

We, Don Abel,

we are not just buying tin.

We are also paying for your silence.

Our client needs total discretion.

If you know what I mean.

And if Sr. Maita didn't tell me lies,

I can trust you.

And who is the addressee?

Let's say
it's involves the military industry.

Are you now working for the Russian army?

Let's say I believe you.

One last question and we close the deal.

When did you talk to my friend Maita?

More or less 20 days ago. Maybe a month.

Too bad he died, isn't it?

So to confirm what you're telling me.

In fact, it's a shame.

But as I had already told you,

he didn't want you to know
that he gave us his name.

So, you spoke with him personally?

I didn't know, Sr. Maita.

Our conversations always
were by cell phone.

Cell phone, sure.

Can you lend me your cell phone?

Why do you need it?

Let's say, an old man's curiosity.

That's not necessary, sir.

So that's the way we are going
to start doing business?

You better unlock it.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE

What are you doing here?

Sofía is in Colombia
after threatening a schoolmate with a gun.

-Where is he?
-Alone, In London.

I don't know you at all.

What I do know is that you are
in a problem with Epifanio.

I want to see you again.

When?

Tell me the day and the time.

You're not going anywhere.

Tell me where you have it.

-I don't have to give you that money.
-Bastard!

Fedor Yasikov.

Do you think Sofía
can forgive me after this?

Maybe not. But there's no other option.

What that man from the DEA
is asking me is very hard.

-But you have to do it.
-You can count on me on anything.

And your family? Can they all come?
