Justice!

IT WASN'T MY FAULT

- Can I give you a hand?
- Yes. This one.

- Okay.
- Got it?

What about the cart?

- We'll come back. Want to put that here?
- Here.

I can't believe it. Damn it.
You spoiled everything again.

What, are you stupid? Or
are you just playing dumb?

Okay, enough. I didn't realize.

- How could you not realize?
- Drop it now. Shut up.

What, are you on
your period again?

- Calm down.
- Okay. I'll take this one.

That's the last of it.

Don't touch me.

- Hey, hey, hey.
- No, no, no.

I'm sure you were hanging
out with your friends.

It's between them. Best
not to get involved.

- Shut up. Leave me alone.
- Let's go. They're waiting.

- Okay.
- Marriages aren't like they used to be.

They're surely
headed for a divorce.

- You think so?
- Yes.

Seems like the same people
that went to the wedding

will be going to the divorce.

The world's turned upside down, Luisito.
The world as we know it is over.

People used to get
married for life.

Okay.

Love, you're here.

Yes, sorry I'm late.

I ran into Ms. Paulina and
helped her with her groceries.

- How are you, Pau?
- Fine, Ceci. You?

- Great.
- That's good.

- How's your husband? Is he...
- He's still in Guerrero.

They extended his job.

Well, thanks.

- Hey, I'm sorry.
- Don't worry.

- I couldn't find the keys.
- Bye.

- I have no idea where I left them.
- Don't worry about it. It's fine.

Let me show you what
I prepared: An omelet.

Mmm.

It was delicious.

- Yeah, you liked it?
- I loved it.

I have to hurry so I'm
not late meeting Inés.

Just leave them. I'll do
the dishes when I get back.

- You sure? Okay.
- Yes, yes, yes.

- I'll see you tonight, love?
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hmm?

Here or at my place?

Here.

Please?

And bring something delicious
for dinner. You're the chef.

And if it gets cold?

You know how we
solve that, right?

My love.

Just think it over, okay?

Okay.

- Have fun with Inés, okay?
- Mm-hmm.

- Tell her I said hello. And this.
- Mm-hmm.

See you tonight.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I can't stop thinking about it.

What is that, Ceci?

I don't know if I'm ready

to share it all with him.

Okay. Listen, you've worked hard
to get to a good place, right?

Yes.

And not only that, you and Luis
practically live together already.

I know.

- And I want to.
- And?

I swear I do. And Luis is
the greatest man on earth.

- But what if it doesn't work out?
- Let's say that it does.

Look, you'll never know
if you don't try, right?

It's just... Hold on.

Unknown Caller.

Hello?

Hey, sexy.

- Who is this?
- I've missed you, my slut.

What's wrong?

Who was it, Ceci?

Let's go. Let's go to the
café. It's going to close.

It's not going to close,
Cecilia. What's going on?

Cecilia. Cecilia, what's wrong?

Breathe. Breathe.
Breathe, Ceci. Breathe.

What's wrong, Ceci?

Cecilia, breathe. Ceci. Breathe.

Are you feeling better?

Yes. Thank you.

I'm sorry. I don't
know what happened.

It's okay. But let's
go see a doctor.

No. No, no, no. It's
not necessary. I swear.

Are you sure? You
look pale to me.

I'm fine. Really. I just haven't
eaten, and my blood pressure dropped.

- Right. Okay. Take care.
- Thanks so much for your help.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Something's wrong,
Ceci. Tell me, okay?

Thank you. Thank you
for walking me this far.

You really thought I'd
leave you like that?

- Why don't I come up and make you tea?
- No.

No, no, no, no, no, no,
no. Really. It's all right.

You've done enough. I
swear. I just need to sleep.

- Are you sure?
- It's all good.

- All right.
- Really.

Okay.

- But if you need anything, call me, okay?
- I'll let you know. Thank you.

Why are you here?

I'm keeping my promise.

Go on.

It's okay.

How did you find me?

I looked for you everywhere.

You're still so beautiful.

Sorry, but we can't speak.

Ceci.

I left everything for you.

We broke up years ago.

That wasn't love.

Don't say that.

Our love was different. I know
you still want to be with me.

Don't you miss my
kisses? My touch? Ceci.

You can't forget us.

We always made up in
bed, right, my love?

No, please. I'm going
to call the police.

Why do you threaten
me, sweetheart?

It turns you on, right?

I love you.

I said no.

Good afternoon.

Everything all right?

Yes. He's leaving.

Later, cousin.
I'll be back. Hmm?

See you.

Which was it?

That was it.

Helena.

Hi.

It's been a while.

I'm calling you
like this because...

He came here today. Alejandro.

I wanted your advice.

I don't know what exactly the
authorities can do here in Mexico City.

I don't know if we can get
a restraining order here

like we did before.

Or if you know someone over here
who I can talk to who could help me.

I don't know how he found me.

Call me, please, when
you get this message.

Thank you.

Luis?

Yes, love, it's me.

Hi. How was your time with Inés?

Give me ten, and I'll have
dinner ready, all right?

You got out early.

You talk to Inés?

Yes.

She's very worried about
you. She told me you fainted.

- It was nothing.
- Why didn't you tell me?

Because it was nothing.

Because I just...

I hadn't slept well, and I'm kind of
stressed out about the presentation.

All right. Here.

What beautiful flowers.

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm glad we're together.

My love, the, um...

Have you noticed
that the top lock...

- It's stuck. It doesn't close right.
- Yes.

Can you please call
a locksmith for me?

- Yes, fine.
- Hopefully they can come tomorrow.

Jacob called to remind me we
have the barbecue on Sunday

and that we're bringing dessert.

I told him we were
not making anything.

Um,

and I also said that we
are moving in together,

that I'm really very happy,
and that I'm ready to do it.

What? Should I not
have said that?

Well, I think this...

Leave it, leave it, leave it.

It's fine, it's fine,
it's fine. Leave it alone.

- Ceci.
- What?

Do you have something
to tell me? Hmm?

- Anything?
- No.

- Are you sick? Is that it?
- No.

Ceci, what's going on?

Just tell me.

Years ago, I was
in a relationship

that was toxic.

At first, everything
was all good.

And then, I don't know
how, but he just...

He became very violent.

And then everything
went downhill.

Why hadn't you told me? Hmm?

I was ashamed. That's
why I couldn't.

Ashamed of what?

You might think I was crazy.

That... That the same thing
could, you know, happen to us.

No, of course not, Ceci.
Why would you think that?

There's also a part of me that's
always felt like it was my fault.

You see, I was a bit older.

I was 25, and he was 19.

I was his teacher.

- His teacher?
- Yes.

I used to teach English
to pay for school.

And I fell in love. And
we moved in together.

You lived together?

Yes.

For two years, though
it felt much longer.

I was afraid of him. I still am.

I freeze when I see him.

Everything set him off.

He was always jealous. Always.

The way I dressed, the way...

My makeup, my friends,
that I taught classes.

And I started to withdraw.

And it all became violent.

Very violent.

- Did he hit you? Did he hurt you?
- Yes.

One day, I thought that...

That he was about to kill me.

I was so scared, and
I asked for help.

I got a restraining order,
but it was worthless.

In this country, it's not like the
police escort you through the streets.

And I left.

Left my family. Left
Playa del Carmen.

I left my friends.
Everything. And I came here.

And he's here.

- He's here?
- He's here.

He called me. That's why I
fainted while I was with Inés.

And I was coming in,
and he was there.

And if a neighbor hadn't come in, I
don't know what would have happened.

- I'm sorry. Really. I'm sorry.
- No.

- I swear I didn't want get you involved.
- Don't worry.

- I'm sorry. Forgive me.
- You have nothing to be sorry about.

It's not your fault.

Tomorrow we'll go to the police.
We're going to report him.

And he'll realize
that you're not alone.

- We'll do this together, as a team.
- Yes.

Okay?

- Yes.
- All right.

Thank you. I love you.

Thank you.

Are you sure you
don't want a dance?

No, darling.

I have to do something else.

They told me about a place
on the road to Pachuca

that has special chairs.

Go there or the regular spot?

Wherever you want, darling.

Lalo!

Get on the floor! On the
floor! I said on the floor!

Don't move. Don't
move. Don't move.

Sergio Ortiz,

you are under arrest for organized
crime, crimes against public health,

and you are the prime
suspect for homicide.

Move it!

Mariana?

Mariana. Mariana.

- What is it?
- They caught him.

- What?
- They caught him!

Okay, calm down. Who?

Sergio, my daughter's husband.

- It's true.
- How do you know? Who told you?

The police agent on
the case. He called.

That's all he said, except that
he would tell me more later.

But they caught him.

- Do we know if he confessed?
- No.

But it's the guy.
I swear to you.

He killed Daniela and Lili.

- Let's go. We'll find out what happened.
- Yes.

- I'll hurry.
- Yes, yes.

- Good morning, neighbor.
- Good morning, Pau.

How are you?

I'm good. And you?

Good. I heard you're leaving.

News around here sure travels.

- It was the landlady.
- Ah.

It's too bad to see a good
neighbor leave like that.

Why are you leaving, Ceci?

I'm moving in with Luis. Mm-hmm.

Mrs. Paulina, this
looks amazing.

- Look.
- Can I steal some later?

- Of course.
- Really?

- Whenever you want.
- Thank you very much.

My love, I just came to tell you I'm
going to swing by the restaurant quickly.

- Okay.
- You forgot your cell.

- It's in the living room.
- Oh, yeah.

I just came to tell you. Do
you want to come with me?

No.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

Go ahead. Go ahead.
I'll be fine.

I'll be quick, okay?

- Promise?
- Yes.

Okay.

Don't be long.

I won't.

Lavender.

Thank you.

The other day, I saw you with a
young man here in the building.

I had never seen
him before, right?

A cousin of mine that I
hadn't seen for a long time,

and, well, he came to visit.

- Mmm. A cousin.
- Yeah.

How nice of him to visit.

Are you sure you're
all right, Cecilia?

I don't know. It's like
you're different somehow.

- I'm fine.
- Yeah?

- I'm fine.
- Mm-hmm.

It's just nerves then,
right? About the move?

- Yes.
- Yes.

I'm so happy to hear
you're moving in with Luis.

I can tell he's a really
good guy. He loves you too.

Yeah.

And you love him just as much.

I know it. You'll see that you
two will be very happy together.

You're going to be fine.

Thanks.

Hello, my love.

Your boyfriend, I
saw he went out.

I'm here because I
want to settle things.

Alejandro.

I need you to leave here.

You're the best
thing in my life.

Why don't we get back together?

Let me live in peace.

I won't go with you.

That's why I came.
To take you with me.

Let go of me.

Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down!

Come here! Come here!

Like that.

That's the way you
like it, my slut.

Yeah.

I love your body.

Not only because it's beautiful.

It's like an oak tree.

This will all fade soon, love.

I'm cold.

I tried, you know.
To forget you.

I tried others, but none
of them had your passion.

With you, it's perfect.

I don't understand it. How was
I so lucky to have found you?

You're such a bastard.

Hey! Come here!

Alejandro, relax. Relax.

My boyfriend will
get here any minute.

He'll be a while still, I think.

He works at a restaurant.

He won't be back soon.

He'll have some problems
if you don't behave.

Call him if you don't think so.

I don't want any trouble, Ceci.
But you're making it hard.

And if you scream, bad
things will happen.

So decide if we go the
easy way or the hard way?

Which is it? Hmm?

The easy way. Very good. Come.

Come on.

They won't give me information.

The government won't
tell me anything.

And Santos doesn't know much.
Only that he's been arrested.

And if it was him, Isidro?

Why?

It doesn't make sense to me. Why would
my sister be with a guy like that?

They must have kidnapped her.

Or trafficking or
held her for ransom.

But they never called me.

I'd pay them everything
I have. I would.

Sorry. It's all I
ever talk about.

No, no, no, don't apologize.

This is important to me as well.

Every answer leads
to more questions.

It never ends. It
doesn't get better.

Come on, Mariana. You are the
strongest woman I've ever known.

You gave Lili such an incredible
life after losing your parents.

And you won't be alone.

You can count on me.

Tell me what we have to do,
where we have to scream,

so our voices are heard
and justice is served.

Look, why don't we forget
the past, all right?

And start over again?

Hmm?

I know you still have feelings.

- You made it just the way I like it.
- Mm-hmm.

Come on. Let's go.

But I have all of
my things in here.

Don't worry about it. I'll put
them in a suitcase, and we'll go.

Yes, yes, yes. Let's go.

You stay here and
finish your dinner.

- I'll go.
- Yes.

He's here. I need you.

Fucking whore! Come
here! Come here!

Come on!

Oh, the neighbors across the hall
have turned their music so...

Give me a second.

I thought I heard a scream.

Luis.

Now I'm all that's left. You gonna
to stay with him or come with me?

The other day, the neighbors from
the apartment 6, they were fighting.

Luis and I saw them.

No. Not me. I really don't
like to get involved.

You know that.

Yes. Green tomato. And onion...

They won't say. I don't
know anyone at the state.

I need you to help me, Santos.

It takes time to
put together a case.

And I don't have control over what happens
once it get to the district attorneys.

I just need Sergio
to say what happened.

I need to know the truth.

Nabbing that scumbag only confirmed
what we're already aware of.

Liliana's death was the
direct result of a turf war.

Maybe your sister wasn't exactly
the person you thought she was.

Why do you insist on lying?

Hmm?

You're all insensitive, incompetent,
and you're not doing your jobs.

Much easier to just
close the case, no?

You're all a bunch of assholes.

Wait a sec.

I interviewed Sergio.

And you should hear it. Listen.

I'm not supposed to play this.

But there's something
you should know.

Yeah, of course I knew her.

She was the boss's woman.

Do you know how this
girl came to be with him?

Was it of her own free will?

It sure seemed like
it, honestly. Yeah.

I don't really know for sure. I
just know she was a favorite Rafa's.

She lived like a queen there.

And do you know if she helped with the
drug business or some other activity?

Well, who knows.

You know that a woman in love
would do anything for a man, right?

Do you remember
anything else about her?

She was untouchable.

She was drop-dead gorgeous, man.

That's why they
called her Eye Candy.

And, of course, she was
his baby mama, so...

Uh... My sister had a daughter?

Where is the girl?

Tell me where she is. I
need to know where she is.

We don't know.

And we don't know
where Rafa is either.

However, I need
you to know this.

If the girl is actually alive,
she is still his daughter.

So what are you saying?

That the girl has to stay with
her father who's a drug dealer?

Listen. I'm not staying quiet.

I'll go to the press, to your superiors,
even the president if I have to.

- I won't remain silent on this!
- Calm down, please.

I never said that I
wouldn't help you.

I need you to remain
calm, that's all.

I promise you...

I will stay on this.

But for right now, I can't
investigate when there's no case.

Just like I can't go looking for a
girl we don't know was ever born.

But I swear to you...

I promise to do everything
that I can to see this through.

Forgive me.

But I don't think you realize what
it's like to live without answers.

Cecilia.

Ceci?

Luis?

Oh, my God.

Do you know if there
was an argument

or if he had fought with
his partner or anyone else?

No, Officer. I
didn't hear anything.

My God.

Ma'am, I know this
is very difficult.

But it is very important that you
tell us if you saw anything unusual.

Anyone who could have done this.

There was a young guy
who... A young man.

I saw them hugging in the hall.

But she say he was her
cousin, but I don't...

If we have any questions,
we'll contact you.

- Yes, Officer.
- Thank you, ma'am.

We've had many cases in
which the cousin is involved.
