The Queen of Flow (2018–2021): Season 1, Episode 11 - Episode #1.11 - full transcript
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
This is a work of fiction.
All characters, stories, and events in it
are products of the author's imagination.
Any resemblance to real persons, events
or businesses is purely coincidental.
I called you, Gema.
Oh, yes.
It's just that I've been so busy.
Since you told me that you're in charge
of everything related to the business,
I wanted to ask you what I should do
with Cris Vega's contract?
Send me the papers, I'll handle it.
OK. Something else.
Why don't you come listen
to the master tapes?
Today we're gonna do
the first trials with Cris.
I want to hear different opinions,
and I think you can provide
a lot of valuable input.
Would you like to?
I'll stop by. If I have time,
I'll stop by later.
-OK.
-Yes.
Hello, everyone.
Hey, Tammy, sweetheart.
Look, meet David. He's gonna help us
with the sound and mixing.
Good, what's up, David?
Is everything cool?
Well, today we're gonna do
something very simple.
Get in there,
and sing whatever you want.
We'll adjust the sound over here, OK?
OK, perfect.
Hey, that's the way I like it.
Everybody punctual and responsible
so we can start doing cool things.
What's up, bro?
How are you, beautiful?
Then what? Are we ready?
Yes, yes. I'm ready.
And thank you, because...
I can't believe I'm right here
next to Charly Flow.
-Do you get it? It's like...
-Well, start believing it.
Go behind that microphone,
and show me who you are.
I'm gonna make everybody listen to you.
-Am I interrupting?
-No, beautiful.
No, not at all.
Are you here to see our new artist?
No. I need to talk to you.
Can you come?
Why are you so rude with Tammy, baby?
Honey, the sound engineer quit
this afternoon.
So?
Get another one.
Charly, you know how you are.
If you get to the office
and you see new faces, you get angry.
Then, what do you want?
Do you want me to hire one?
No, honey. I'm thinking
we could call Juancho.
Ugh.
We did very well at Yatra's concert,
didn't we?
You just want to keep being enemies.
Here in Medellín, people say he has
talent, and that he's well-known.
Remember that the equipment you're gonna
lend those guys is for tomorrow.
Oh, yes, it's OK.
I know.
Those kids are happy.
You're doing such a great job
with them.
Oh, well, I learned from the best.
The best, yes.
I wish we'd had that kind of
support when we were kids.
Right, Juancho?
Can we talk?
About what?
Hey, I came in peace.
Everything is OK.
Look, white flag.
Can you leave us alone, please?
-Sure.
-Thanks.
-Mr. Carlos.
-Good to see you, Búho.
We'll check the audio for the party
in a minute, OK?
Sure.
Hey, I didn't congratulate you
on the excellent job
you did at Yatra's concert.
I take my hat off to you.
Oh, good.
Tammy told me you were happy.
And that makes me happy.
The smart one was Tammy
because she called you.
Do you know that for a moment
I felt like when we were kids?
Do you remember?
With Soul and Bass in the commune.
Good memories, bro.
Long time ago, yes.
Hey, what a cool photo!
You still have it?
I can't believe it.
Really?
We were good friends, weren't we?
Yes,
but that is over.
Because of Yeimy.
She has always been the big elephant
in the room.
Yeimy Montoya.
And don't deny it.
Look how you get.
Haven't you already forgotten her?
Well...
Didn't you tell me that
when she ended up in prison?
I fucked it up, my friend.
I made a mistake.
And I admit it.
I left Yeimy alone...
in the moment she needed me the most.
And you have no idea
how it hurts.
Charly, why are you telling me this?
Because when I found out that Yeimy...
had died...
It was very hard for me.
And now that I've lost her...
I wouldn't want to...
lose you, too.
What do you say?
Clean slate?
Listen, Charly, if this is because
of the fight at the bar,
we're old enough now.
Let's get over it, OK? Everything is fine.
My friend, it's not because of the fight.
You know I'm a man of action.
I think actions speak louder
than words, right?
That's why I came to offer you
something concrete.
I want you to work with me.
At Excelsior Studios.
We want us to work together.
Listen, Charly...
Let me see, work with you?
Or for you?
Well, I'm obviously the boss,
but that doesn't mean you won't be able
to do whatever you want.
Besides, you'll have
everything you need there.
Equipment, sound, people.
Whatever you need.
OK, OK. I...
I really appreciate your offer,
but, as you can see, I have a business
and I have to move forward with it.
Also, the music thing
is from the past, so...
Freelance, if you want.
Like with Yatra. Whenever you want,
good price, professional, everything cool.
Hey, come on.
For the old times, uh?
Thanks, Charly.
I'm fine.
OK.
I had to try, right?
Keep being an excellent producer.
Good luck, my friend.
Charly!
Thanks for what you came
to tell me, OK?
Good.
He rejected me.
This asshole rejected me.
I definitely don't know
why I listen to stupid Gema, man.
Oh, I told you.
Who does he think he is?
I don't know, but I'm gonna
take him down a peg or two.
I'm tired of him stepping over me.
Forgive me
I wanna have you again
Even if only for one night, one more night
One more night
Let's do it again
from the interlude, Cris.
Hey, wait, I'm not ready yet.
-Ready?
-Ready.
I betrayed your trust, lady
I ended your life, baby
I was a complete idiot
I took you for granted
-Hey, now what?
-You're behind the beat.
What do you mean? I don't think so.
No, but I can feel it from here.
You're concentrated on the lyrics,
but we can notice from here.
Do this: go ahead two tempos,
like that, when you get to the interlude,
you won't be ahead of the beat. Go.
Start from the same part.
I betrayed your trust, lady
I ended your life, baby
I was a complete idiot
I took you for...
Again, from the same part.
I betrayed your trust, lady
I ended your life, baby
I was a complete idiot
I took you for granted
-Hey, now what?
-You're not concentrating, Cris.
How can I be with you pressing
that button all the time?
This is the process.
That's what this is about.
This is about patience, Cris.
The idea is that you get well trained
for when we record for real.
It's complicated with that attitude.
Well, then, how long do I have to wait?
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Imagine you're in a place
where you feel comfortable singing.
-Hello.
-Hello?
-Tammy Andrade?
-Yes.
This is Koi Fish.
-Do you remember me?
-Sure, of course.
I'm glad you're calling me.
Look, I want us to talk again.
Last time, you got me at a bad time,
I'm sorry.
Don't worry, we all have bad days.
Yes, my bad days are about to become
months. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
The thing is that I'd like to see you
again to talk.
OK, OK.
In San Félix, is that alright?
No, I can't go there.
But if you want, there's a park
near my school.
I can send you the location.
OK. Perfect.
In two hours.
Is that OK?
Yes. Great.
OK. I'll wait for the message, then.
Hey, Vane.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Don't tell anybody what I told you
about my dad.
-Oh, no, take it easy.
-Not even your parents.
No, of course not.
I know my parents think I'm a little kid
who can't be told anything.
Well, they do it because they love you.
Yes, but sometimes so much care
is suffocating.
Hey, don't complain so much
about your parents.
One thing I admire about Charly is that
he never followed my dad's footsteps.
That's why he doesn't tell you
the bad things.
Yes, my dad is so nice.
I know he wouldn't do anything
to hurt me or my mother.
Hello. Lucio?
I need to talk to my uncle.
Yes, yes.
Tell him to call me back.
Ok. Bye.
Hey, what's up, Uncle?
Everything OK?
Hi, Charly, what's going on? How's
the dirty business? Did you already start?
Oh, yes. Everything is OK. The invoices
business is already working out.
But I didn't call you because of that.
I need a favor.
No, but you aren't gonna ask me
over the phone. Let's see each other.
No, I'm busy, Uncle. Let me tell you.
It's very simple.
No, not on the phone, man!
Let's see each other, I also have
something to tell you.
OK, then. I'll see you later.
Bye.
What's up, Charly?
Charly, I need you to hear something
in the master. Can you come?
OK, but just five minutes,
'cause I'm leaving, OK?
What is it?
This fucking thing.
Lucio, take the SIM out of this
and destroy it.
Yes, sir.
I betrayed your trust, lady
I ended your life, baby
I was a complete idiot
I took you for granted
The guy is good,
but we still need to fix some things.
Yes, we still have to work
with him a bit more.
Get him good lyrics.
Lyrics that talk about love, betrayal,
women, dancing, sex.
-All that stands out.
-OK.
Then, should we go on that direction?
Yes, but with the changes
that the composer of "Forgive Me" gave.
Talk to that man,
and ask him to fix the song.
See you later.
-What's up, Cris?
-What's next?
We already finished.
What? Aren't we gonna
rehearse a bit more?
No, you need to rest your voice.
Go home, I'll send you a message
for our next session.
-We'll talk soon. Bye.
-Good job.
I can't allow this to keep...
-Hello.
-Go.
Wow! Beautiful!
What a surprise! How are you?
-Welcome.
-I'm very well.
Very happy. Honestly, I can't believe
I passed that casting.
Why not, if you deserve it?
You were the best. Besides, you were
the most beautiful of all.
-Are you by yourself?
-Yes, why?
Because you told me you were a minor.
-Yes, I'm 16.
-Oh, OK.
In that case,
we have to call one of your parents
to come sign the contract.
Or, perhaps you know an adult
who could sign it.
Well, honestly, I didn't know.
Don't worry about that.
But we need to hurry up
because we already have a shooting date.
I'll get your contract
so you can take it.
Here we do things properly.
And even more so, knowing you're a minor.
-Yes.
-We need to do everything right.
Sign as soon as possible
so we can start shooting.
Tammy.
-Hi.
-Hi.
How are you?
What are you listening to?
-Come.
-Eh...
Make up your mind
If you stay with me
Or with him
Make up your mind
It's good.
You could do something like that.
Or even better.
And just because you saw me
at the co-op.
No.
Because I saw you win there.
Were those lyrics yours?
As I said, you're very good.
And you're quite adventurous.
What does such a fine woman like you
do in that kind of neighborhood?
What?
-It's dangerous.
-No, it's not.
It's OK.
But thank you for worrying about me.
Well, shall we walk?
Oh, please. I've been locked up in
that studio all day long. Come this way.
OK, talk to me about you.
I know where you study.
But I know that that school has nothing
to do with the neighborhood you go to.
My friends live there.
Don't you have friends at your school?
-I make music with them.
-OK.
And how did you meet them?
Social media.
Contests and concerts are announced there.
Stuff like that.
And that's it. There's not much to tell.
I'm a normal dude.
I have a girlfriend.
I know you didn't ask me that.
I don't know why I said it.
OK.
You called me.
I'll listen to you.
-You looked for me first.
-I told you what I want.
I want to be your manager.
And how would that be?
Let's see.
Basically, you make music,
I make people listen to your music.
We record an album,
I have the contacts...
Contacts? Where?
At Excelsior Studios.
The best in Medellín.
Charly Flow's studios.
-No.
-What?
-I made a mistake.
-What's going on?
-I have to go.
-No, no, no.
Wait, wait.
Come on, Erik.
You called me.
What happened? Why did you get
like that when I said "Charly"?
Do you have a problem with him?
Charly is my half-brother.
I didn't know.
Well, but that's not a problem, is it?
I mean, Charly is...
a musician.
You're brothers.
He could help you, right?
Things are not easy in my house.
And I don't like the music
that he makes.
And on my side,
my dad doesn't like what I do.
Well, that's not a problem.
I can talk to your dad.
-I can tell him...
-Don't even think about it, please.
-Erik...
-Tammy, I appreciate what you said.
-No, wait. Erik.
-I have to go.
Before you tell me what you need,
I'm gonna let you know that the invoices
are just the beginning of the business.
What do you mean?
I want to get into the concert business.
There's a lot of money there
to launder.
OK, I'll help you with that,
but I need you to do me a favor.
-What do you need?
-I need to put somebody in his place.
I need a couple of guys.
I can lend you an army if you want.
I've always known
that you're a better gangster than dancer.
It shows my blood runs
through your veins.
We have one minute.
Take that box.
Come on, come on.
The clock is ticking.
No, it's too hot in here.
What?
Take those boxes out.
Man, how much time is left?
Thirty seconds.
We have to move.
Move your ass, man.
Come on.
Come on, we're not gonna wait
until the fucking alarm goes off.
Do you know what's the best part
of marrying you?
Honey, I can tell you
a thousand reasons right now.
You're such a snob.
Cheeky.
Hello.
Yes, it's me.
Who's calling?
No, I'm not at the office.
Why?
What?
Thank you, I'm on my way.
-What happened?
-The alarm went off at Surround.
What do you mean? Juancho!
Man.
They took everything.
Can we solve it somehow?
How, baby?
If the insurance comes through,
it will come through months from now.
We have commitments with clients
who've already paid
and especially...
what about the guys from the neighborhood?
Huh?
Man.
Princess, I don't want that car
to become a problem.
It'd be better if you don't take it
to school.
The new album comes with sounds influenced
by the tour I made in Asia.
Zulma, take it easy, I already talked
to Tammy, and she's not a problem.
Yes, man. She'll keep our secrets.
Yes, yes.
Hi, Dad.
Princess.
Well, I have huge news.
-Really?
-Yes.
I got a job.
Princess, you don't need to work.
Dad, but I want to.
Besides, I was chosen
for a marketing campaign.
What do you mean?
Yes, I went to the audition...
What do you mean you went to an audition
without telling us anything, Vanesa?
Let her tell us, honey.
Well, I went.
I went to the audition,
and they cast me in a campaign
for a suntan lotion's company in Medellín.
That's not gonna happen.
Why not?
Princess, I didn't bring you back
from Puerto Rico
so you would ignore your studies,
and start doing those silly things.
Dad, but I haven't ignored my studies.
You may go and ask if you want.
Gema, did you know any of this?
-I had no idea, honey.
-Oh, really?
Then, can you tell me who gave you
permission to take pictures of you naked?
Wait a minute,
you're not gonna talk to her that way.
Dad, nobody took photos of me naked.
Oh, really? Are you gonna do
a suntan lotion commercial wearing a coat?
Of course not.
But I'm gonna wear a bikini.
I said no, Vanesa.
-Dad...
-I said no!
Charly, please.
We're not gonna get upset.
If what upsets you is that I went to
the agency alone, you don't have to be.
Oh, really? Didn't you just say
your mother had no idea about this?
No, my mom didn't, but Uncle Erik did.
He went with me...
Vanesa, you're not gonna do
any stupid commercial at all.
Get it through your head!
And don't go against me.
Take it easy.
Mom, it's not fair!
Vanesa...
Listen, Vanesa. That is not the way
to talk things over, baby.
Mom, but it's unfair!
My opinion doesn't count here.
Did anybody ask me if I wanted
to come here? No one.
Nobody.
I wanted to stay in Puerto Rico.
Calm down because I'm not the one
who just yelled at you.
And I'm not a person
you can't talk to either, Vanesa.
I know. I'm sorry.
But, Mom...
Understand that I've found a passion,
something that I like,
and that I also do well.
And my dad just forbade me to do it.
You know what, baby?
Come.
I'm gonna help you, honey.
-Really?
-But you can't say a word.
You know how your dad is.
He's always bossing everyone around,
and yelling at everybody.
I'm not like that.
But this has to stay between you and me.
-OK?
-OK.
Oh, Mom, you're the best.
-Where's Erik?
-In his room.
Erik!
Stay away from my daughter.
-What is it?
-I found out you took her
to a modeling casting call.
Are you out of your mind?
What's your problem?
I went with her to see how it was...
The problem is that I'm the only one
who decides what Vanesa does, not you!
OK.
You know what? You look more like
my dad than myself.
Is that what this is about?
Are you jealous?
-Is that it?
-Don't make me laugh.
Jealous of you?
You're a loser, look at you.
You're useless.
Even my Uncle Manín noticed
you're useless.
-It's not true.
-Yes, that's the way it is.
And you're the big shit or what?
Listen to this asshole.
Look at me.
I have money, fame, women.
Everything that I've wanted in life.
And what do you have?
You have things.
That's what's important to you.
And brother, you know what?
I don't envy you.
I don't care about your houses
or your cars.
Not even your stupid music.
Come here, stupid.
You have to respect me.
What? What?
Stay away from Vanesa.
You heard me.
My watch.
I leave you
with your fucking resentful kid.
With your fucking resentful rescued kid.
Ignore him.
Leave me alone.
Charly!
-Over here, please.
-Thanks.
You know what?
The contract is not very clear.
What isn't clear?
The terms of the contract, like,
the release of images, for example.
I don't know how long
the campaign is going to last.
If it's just for Colombia,
or somewhere else. I have no idea.
Well, as a matter of fact,
the client is thinking about
using the campaign for the Caribbean, too.
Then, we have to renegotiate
the terms of the contract.
Oh, Mom.
If it's a bigger campaign, the payment
has to be bigger as well.
Well, let's see
how far it can go.
Despite your daughter's beauty,
this is her first work.
And you must know that experience is
very important in this business.
Yes, that's true.
It's her first job,
and that's why she's going to give 100%.
She learns quickly.
And working in front of the camera
is in her blood.
Sure.
She's Charly Flow's daughter.
Yes.
But I'm not saying it because of that.
I'm saying it because of me.
Besides, I can train her,
and you'll be saving time.
I can guide her for whatever you need.
Well, am I gonna do the campaign or not?
OK. Then, let's fix
the terms of the contract
so we can sign it.
Do you agree?
Amparo, ask somebody
from the Legal Department
to come to my office, please.
Thank you.
Happy?
Are you going for a walk?
I'm leaving home, Mom.
What do you mean?
One fight with Charly,
and you're going to run away?
-Stop the nonsense.
-It's not because of him.
Well, partly.
But I'm leaving, anyway.
Understand me.
I don't feel good here.
Things are not OK with my dad.
Now this happens with Charly, and
he finally tells me what he thinks of me.
No. Listen, honey.
Sit down for a moment.
Your brother was furious.
And when he's angry, he says things
he doesn't really feel.
No, I don't think that's the case.
This comes from long before.
You know I don't get along well
with Charly.
No, no, no. Wait a minute.
I'll talk to Charly.
And you'll talk to your dad.
I know that if you talk to him calmly,
you'll understand each other.
Right, especially with him.
Do you really think that me talking
to him will make him change?
He's very stubborn.
I'm not gonna work with him, either.
-Mom, I'm leaving. Don't worry.
-No, no, no.
Don't worry.
I'll be in touch.
No, this is crazy, Erik.
Please stay, Erik.
Erik!
No, this material is very bad.
That boy is not doing it well.
What's happening is that
we're not understanding each other.
-What do you mean?
-Look, David, it's not personal,
but you don't understand my ideas.
I wanna give more presence
to Cris's voice.
So?
Have we finished?
Wait a little bit there.
The idea is to make his voice sound
higher, but lower in the chorus.
But we can't do that if you alter
his voice to the point
that it can't be recognized.
Do you understand?
Hardly.
Those are very vague references.
Look, David, sweeten Cris's voice,
enhancing the high pitches, OK?
OK, but if I enhance the high pitches...
...the voice shatters.
Come on, I think it'd be better
to stop for a while,
because I'm getting hungry.
No, it's not lunchtime.
Five more minutes. Wait there.
What is it?
I wanna make you a proposal.
Can I see you now?
-Talk to me.
-Everything OK, man.
We already did it.
We took everything.
You just made my day, man.
Really?
OK, then.
They just left the empty boxes.
All my life's effort
was taken in one night.
Well, let me see if you cheer up a bit
when you hear my proposal.
OK, tell me.
I want you to be the sound engineer
for the new artist at Excelsior.
Did Charly send you?
What?
No, it was my idea.
I'm working with an engineer that...
His way of working and mine
are completely different.
Why did you ask me
if Charly had sent me here?
Because a few days ago,
he came to ask me the same.
So I just assumed.
Did you say no?
Listen, Tammy,
how am I gonna work with Charly?
You won't work with Charly.
You'll work with me.
Just for Cris Vega's album.
That's it.
Please.
-Tammy...
-Listen to me, Juancho.
This is my first project with them.
I need it to be perfect.
I can make it work
if I have the best people.
We'll be an incredible team, I swear.
What?
Are you at least thinking about it?
Juancho.
It's your opportunity to go back
to the music.
I know you miss that.
You're not just a businessman.
You're also an artist.
And how can you say that
if we don't even know each other?
Hey!
This is empty.
Tammy, what are you doing here?
I could ask you the same thing.
Oh, I heard what happened.
I ran into El Búho and he told me.
Hey, my friend.
If there's anything you need,
just let me know.
If you need a loan,
equipment, sound.
Whatever you need.
I'm so sorry.
Thanks.
Everything is OK.
Well, now that we're all here together,
why don't we close the deal?
What deal?
I was just telling Juancho
that we need a sound engineer
for Cris Vega.
Charly, he's the man we need
to make that project work.
Are you serious?
This woman is a magician, right?
I told him exactly the same.
-Really?
-Let's see,
when did you agree on this?
Come on, come clean.
Oh, don't resist anymore, my friend.
Accept the work proposal.
Hey, look, I pay well.
If not, ask Tammy.
Well, seriously.
Think about your family, your business.
This can help you get ahead.
-What do you say?
-OK, yes.
-What?
-I said yes.
-That's it!
-Really?
Good, man, it's gonna be incredible.
Hey, I like this.
I like this trio.
Thank you.
-It's like the old times, right?
-Yes.
You and I
Have closed our eyes to heal again
The wounds
That are driving us crazy
Eat us up slowly
They don't let us breathe
And every night
That I don't have you
Help me move the bed,
'cause I'm gonna show you
the spare mattress.
Look.
This will be your place, OK, man?
Oh, no. You're already
organizing everything.
Well, sweetheart,
I want you to feel at home.
We don't have much,
but I want you to see us
as the family
who is gonna support you
from now on. OK?
And I'm very happy to see you again.
I'm gonna prepare some food
because our guest is very skinny.
All weak.
Your legs look like knitting needles.
-I'm gonna make you some arepas.
-Thanks, Miss Estela.
I'm sorry to be a bother.
My mom just talks all the time.
Don't be so chatty.
Otherwise, she'll talk all night.
I wish they would talk to me
that much in my house.
Oh, relax, you'll see you made
the right choice.
Now, you just have to move on, man.
And follow the plan.
Do you already have a plan?
Sure.
If not, I wouldn't have left my house.
I'm gonna make money from my music
'cause I know I'm gonna be successful.
I know it won't be easy.
But I'm gonna do alright.
That's it, man! I like listening
to Koi Fish talking like that.
My friend, you know what?
I think I fucked it up with my mom.
I feel bad
about leaving her alone.
I don't want her to think
I'm an ingrate.
She's worked so hard
to give me everything.
Oh, your mom isn't gonna think that.
Your mom knows you're a responsible guy.
She just has to understand
that you want to meet your real parents.
Yes, that's true.
I need to know who my real parents are.
And I also need to ask them why
they left me with Ligia and Manín.
Why they let them raise me.
My friend, have you ever felt
that you're in a place...
but you don't feel you belong there?
No.
Guys.
Come to eat arepas.
Come on,
because my mom is gonna get angry.
-Should I leave everything like this?
-Yes, leave it there. Come on.
So...
If she wants to kiss me,
she won't be able to stop.
I will... No, mad... No.
Madness.
Her madness.
Her madness...
I will unravel.
What about that guy, uh?
How nice.
Don't exaggerate, he's your brother,
and he was trying to help the girl.
The truth is that Vanesa has been
feeling lonely since we moved here.
Really?
And then what do we do, honey?
Should we cry,
go to church or what?
Oh, that attitude of yours
doesn't help at all, Charly.
It's not about my attitude.
If she feels lonely like you say,
then tell her to take the dog out.
Or to go to the park.
Tell her to go to the mall
with her friends.
To do whatever she wants.
But tell her not to get in weird things.
And since when is modeling
a weird thing, Charly?
You can't scold the girl
for doing something she likes.
What is that girl gonna know
about what she likes?
Not long ago, she was extremely shy.
And now it turns out that she wants
to be naked in front of everybody.
Well, how nice.
You know what?
The girl has grown up.
If you don't want to see it,
it's your problem.
Do you agree with this, Gema?
Well, yes.
I do, but to ease your mind,
I promise you I'll be in charge
of everything, honey.
-Her career, I'll be her manager...
-You're not gonna do anything.
You're gonna do your job with me.
You are not Vanesa's manager, Gema.
And don't encourage her
to get into that rotten business.
Rotten?
Charly, it's the same as yours.
Actors, singers, models.
It's the same thing.
That's why I'm saying this.
She won't be like all those horny girls.
And I'm gonna talk to her.
Careful how you talk to her, Charly.
Vanesa, wake up.
Wake up.
Dad, it's very early.
I want you to know that I had
a fight with your Uncle Erik
for taking you to places
where you shouldn't go.
You did what?
Dad, it was my idea.
He just went with me.
In this house, nobody makes decisions
without my approval, Vanesa Cruz.
And that modeling thing is completely
forbidden for you.
-But if my...
-"If my" what?
If my uncle supports me and wants
the best for me, why don´t you?
The only person who wants
the best for you is me.
You're not gonna get it now.
But when you grow up,
you'll thank me for that.
Oh, and something else.
I forbid you from seeing Uncle Erik again.
And don't talk back.
Don't talk back.
You may be my princess
and get everything you want,
but if you need me to be the bad guy
so you'll obey, you got it.
Wait. Vanesa,
you almost ruined everything.
I told you I'm gonna help you,
but you can't tell your dad.
This is the most important part
of the conversation
that Charly had at the office.
Hey, what's up, Uncle?
Oh, yes. Everything is OK. The invoices
business is already working out.
But I didn't call you because of that.
I need you to do me a favor.
No, I'm busy, Uncle. Let me tell you,
it's very simple.
OK, then. I'll see you later.
Charly is involved in
his uncle's dirty business.
This proves that they see
each other frequently.
The headquarters will keep analyzing
the conversation.
I already sent it as you requested.
Oh, good.
Good.
We're gonna keep watching Charly
to get to Manín.
Once Manín is caught, I'll be free, right?
Of course, that's the deal.
If we get to Manín through Charly,
you will get your freedom.
I can't answer you all the time, Zulma.
Don't be like that.
We just saw each other.
Gema is on top of me all the time.
What can I do?
No, no, princess, no.
Let's not risk it.
I'll call you tonight once I'm alone.
Jack, it can't be a coincidence
that just when Charly calls his uncle
to ask him for a favor,
Juancho gets robbed.
Don't you think that what you're saying
is way too far-fetched?
Not everything in life
can be Charly's fault.
This was his fault.
I know him.
Juancho told me...
He said that before getting robbed,
Charly went to talk to him
about working with him at Excelsior.
Juancho said no.
In the end, Charly ended up getting
what he wanted. I know him.
-It was just a coincidence.
-It's not a coincidence, Jack.
Charly works just like his uncle.
He hates to be told "no."
Why do you say that?
Because that's why my parents
got killed, Jack.
When my parents faced Manín,
when they refused to give
the money they owed him,
he had them killed.
The thug wanted our house.
He always wanted it.
But since we didn't want to sell it,
what did he do?
He sent me to jail and made my grandma
sell it at a very low price.
What else did you hear
in those recordings?
That Charly is sick of Zulma.
The woman fell in love with him.
Can you believe it?
And he's not, of course.
I have to make Gema know
that those two are lovers, but how?
Come here.
Wouldn't you be in danger
by exposing that?
He knows that you saw him
with the journalist the other night,
and that you know what's happening
between them.
I'm not the only one.
Does Zulma want people to know
what's going on between her and Charly?
Not yet.
But if Charly rejects her,
she won't like that.
Of course not.
There's nothing more dangerous
than a resentful woman, right?
Imagine.
I come softly
So he doesn't hear my steps
Below the water
So they don't see what I'm carrying
My flame is eternal
No one will extinguish it
Only my justice will calm my fury

I called you, Gema.
Oh, yes.
It's just that I've been so busy.
Since you told me that you're in charge
of everything related to the business,
I wanted to ask you what I should do
with Cris Vega's contract?
Send me the papers, I'll handle it.
OK. Something else.
Why don't you come listen
to the master tapes?
Today we're gonna do
the first trials with Cris.
I want to hear different opinions,
and I think you can provide
a lot of valuable input.
Would you like to?
I'll stop by. If I have time,
I'll stop by later.
-OK.
-Yes.
Hello, everyone.
Hey, Tammy, sweetheart.
Look, meet David. He's gonna help us
with the sound and mixing.
Good, what's up, David?
Is everything cool?
Well, today we're gonna do
something very simple.
Get in there,
and sing whatever you want.
We'll adjust the sound over here, OK?
OK, perfect.
Hey, that's the way I like it.
Everybody punctual and responsible
so we can start doing cool things.
What's up, bro?
How are you, beautiful?
Then what? Are we ready?
Yes, yes. I'm ready.
And thank you, because...
I can't believe I'm right here
next to Charly Flow.
-Do you get it? It's like...
-Well, start believing it.
Go behind that microphone,
and show me who you are.
I'm gonna make everybody listen to you.
-Am I interrupting?
-No, beautiful.
No, not at all.
Are you here to see our new artist?
No. I need to talk to you.
Can you come?
Why are you so rude with Tammy, baby?
Honey, the sound engineer quit
this afternoon.
So?
Get another one.
Charly, you know how you are.
If you get to the office
and you see new faces, you get angry.
Then, what do you want?
Do you want me to hire one?
No, honey. I'm thinking
we could call Juancho.
Ugh.
We did very well at Yatra's concert,
didn't we?
You just want to keep being enemies.
Here in Medellín, people say he has
talent, and that he's well-known.
Remember that the equipment you're gonna
lend those guys is for tomorrow.
Oh, yes, it's OK.
I know.
Those kids are happy.
You're doing such a great job
with them.
Oh, well, I learned from the best.
The best, yes.
I wish we'd had that kind of
support when we were kids.
Right, Juancho?
Can we talk?
About what?
Hey, I came in peace.
Everything is OK.
Look, white flag.
Can you leave us alone, please?
-Sure.
-Thanks.
-Mr. Carlos.
-Good to see you, Búho.
We'll check the audio for the party
in a minute, OK?
Sure.
Hey, I didn't congratulate you
on the excellent job
you did at Yatra's concert.
I take my hat off to you.
Oh, good.
Tammy told me you were happy.
And that makes me happy.
The smart one was Tammy
because she called you.
Do you know that for a moment
I felt like when we were kids?
Do you remember?
With Soul and Bass in the commune.
Good memories, bro.
Long time ago, yes.
Hey, what a cool photo!
You still have it?
I can't believe it.
Really?
We were good friends, weren't we?
Yes,
but that is over.
Because of Yeimy.
She has always been the big elephant
in the room.
Yeimy Montoya.
And don't deny it.
Look how you get.
Haven't you already forgotten her?
Well...
Didn't you tell me that
when she ended up in prison?
I fucked it up, my friend.
I made a mistake.
And I admit it.
I left Yeimy alone...
in the moment she needed me the most.
And you have no idea
how it hurts.
Charly, why are you telling me this?
Because when I found out that Yeimy...
had died...
It was very hard for me.
And now that I've lost her...
I wouldn't want to...
lose you, too.
What do you say?
Clean slate?
Listen, Charly, if this is because
of the fight at the bar,
we're old enough now.
Let's get over it, OK? Everything is fine.
My friend, it's not because of the fight.
You know I'm a man of action.
I think actions speak louder
than words, right?
That's why I came to offer you
something concrete.
I want you to work with me.
At Excelsior Studios.
We want us to work together.
Listen, Charly...
Let me see, work with you?
Or for you?
Well, I'm obviously the boss,
but that doesn't mean you won't be able
to do whatever you want.
Besides, you'll have
everything you need there.
Equipment, sound, people.
Whatever you need.
OK, OK. I...
I really appreciate your offer,
but, as you can see, I have a business
and I have to move forward with it.
Also, the music thing
is from the past, so...
Freelance, if you want.
Like with Yatra. Whenever you want,
good price, professional, everything cool.
Hey, come on.
For the old times, uh?
Thanks, Charly.
I'm fine.
OK.
I had to try, right?
Keep being an excellent producer.
Good luck, my friend.
Charly!
Thanks for what you came
to tell me, OK?
Good.
He rejected me.
This asshole rejected me.
I definitely don't know
why I listen to stupid Gema, man.
Oh, I told you.
Who does he think he is?
I don't know, but I'm gonna
take him down a peg or two.
I'm tired of him stepping over me.
Forgive me
I wanna have you again
Even if only for one night, one more night
One more night
Let's do it again
from the interlude, Cris.
Hey, wait, I'm not ready yet.
-Ready?
-Ready.
I betrayed your trust, lady
I ended your life, baby
I was a complete idiot
I took you for granted
-Hey, now what?
-You're behind the beat.
What do you mean? I don't think so.
No, but I can feel it from here.
You're concentrated on the lyrics,
but we can notice from here.
Do this: go ahead two tempos,
like that, when you get to the interlude,
you won't be ahead of the beat. Go.
Start from the same part.
I betrayed your trust, lady
I ended your life, baby
I was a complete idiot
I took you for...
Again, from the same part.
I betrayed your trust, lady
I ended your life, baby
I was a complete idiot
I took you for granted
-Hey, now what?
-You're not concentrating, Cris.
How can I be with you pressing
that button all the time?
This is the process.
That's what this is about.
This is about patience, Cris.
The idea is that you get well trained
for when we record for real.
It's complicated with that attitude.
Well, then, how long do I have to wait?
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Imagine you're in a place
where you feel comfortable singing.
-Hello.
-Hello?
-Tammy Andrade?
-Yes.
This is Koi Fish.
-Do you remember me?
-Sure, of course.
I'm glad you're calling me.
Look, I want us to talk again.
Last time, you got me at a bad time,
I'm sorry.
Don't worry, we all have bad days.
Yes, my bad days are about to become
months. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
The thing is that I'd like to see you
again to talk.
OK, OK.
In San Félix, is that alright?
No, I can't go there.
But if you want, there's a park
near my school.
I can send you the location.
OK. Perfect.
In two hours.
Is that OK?
Yes. Great.
OK. I'll wait for the message, then.
Hey, Vane.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Don't tell anybody what I told you
about my dad.
-Oh, no, take it easy.
-Not even your parents.
No, of course not.
I know my parents think I'm a little kid
who can't be told anything.
Well, they do it because they love you.
Yes, but sometimes so much care
is suffocating.
Hey, don't complain so much
about your parents.
One thing I admire about Charly is that
he never followed my dad's footsteps.
That's why he doesn't tell you
the bad things.
Yes, my dad is so nice.
I know he wouldn't do anything
to hurt me or my mother.
Hello. Lucio?
I need to talk to my uncle.
Yes, yes.
Tell him to call me back.
Ok. Bye.
Hey, what's up, Uncle?
Everything OK?
Hi, Charly, what's going on? How's
the dirty business? Did you already start?
Oh, yes. Everything is OK. The invoices
business is already working out.
But I didn't call you because of that.
I need a favor.
No, but you aren't gonna ask me
over the phone. Let's see each other.
No, I'm busy, Uncle. Let me tell you.
It's very simple.
No, not on the phone, man!
Let's see each other, I also have
something to tell you.
OK, then. I'll see you later.
Bye.
What's up, Charly?
Charly, I need you to hear something
in the master. Can you come?
OK, but just five minutes,
'cause I'm leaving, OK?
What is it?
This fucking thing.
Lucio, take the SIM out of this
and destroy it.
Yes, sir.
I betrayed your trust, lady
I ended your life, baby
I was a complete idiot
I took you for granted
The guy is good,
but we still need to fix some things.
Yes, we still have to work
with him a bit more.
Get him good lyrics.
Lyrics that talk about love, betrayal,
women, dancing, sex.
-All that stands out.
-OK.
Then, should we go on that direction?
Yes, but with the changes
that the composer of "Forgive Me" gave.
Talk to that man,
and ask him to fix the song.
See you later.
-What's up, Cris?
-What's next?
We already finished.
What? Aren't we gonna
rehearse a bit more?
No, you need to rest your voice.
Go home, I'll send you a message
for our next session.
-We'll talk soon. Bye.
-Good job.
I can't allow this to keep...
-Hello.
-Go.
Wow! Beautiful!
What a surprise! How are you?
-Welcome.
-I'm very well.
Very happy. Honestly, I can't believe
I passed that casting.
Why not, if you deserve it?
You were the best. Besides, you were
the most beautiful of all.
-Are you by yourself?
-Yes, why?
Because you told me you were a minor.
-Yes, I'm 16.
-Oh, OK.
In that case,
we have to call one of your parents
to come sign the contract.
Or, perhaps you know an adult
who could sign it.
Well, honestly, I didn't know.
Don't worry about that.
But we need to hurry up
because we already have a shooting date.
I'll get your contract
so you can take it.
Here we do things properly.
And even more so, knowing you're a minor.
-Yes.
-We need to do everything right.
Sign as soon as possible
so we can start shooting.
Tammy.
-Hi.
-Hi.
How are you?
What are you listening to?
-Come.
-Eh...
Make up your mind
If you stay with me
Or with him
Make up your mind
It's good.
You could do something like that.
Or even better.
And just because you saw me
at the co-op.
No.
Because I saw you win there.
Were those lyrics yours?
As I said, you're very good.
And you're quite adventurous.
What does such a fine woman like you
do in that kind of neighborhood?
What?
-It's dangerous.
-No, it's not.
It's OK.
But thank you for worrying about me.
Well, shall we walk?
Oh, please. I've been locked up in
that studio all day long. Come this way.
OK, talk to me about you.
I know where you study.
But I know that that school has nothing
to do with the neighborhood you go to.
My friends live there.
Don't you have friends at your school?
-I make music with them.
-OK.
And how did you meet them?
Social media.
Contests and concerts are announced there.
Stuff like that.
And that's it. There's not much to tell.
I'm a normal dude.
I have a girlfriend.
I know you didn't ask me that.
I don't know why I said it.
OK.
You called me.
I'll listen to you.
-You looked for me first.
-I told you what I want.
I want to be your manager.
And how would that be?
Let's see.
Basically, you make music,
I make people listen to your music.
We record an album,
I have the contacts...
Contacts? Where?
At Excelsior Studios.
The best in Medellín.
Charly Flow's studios.
-No.
-What?
-I made a mistake.
-What's going on?
-I have to go.
-No, no, no.
Wait, wait.
Come on, Erik.
You called me.
What happened? Why did you get
like that when I said "Charly"?
Do you have a problem with him?
Charly is my half-brother.
I didn't know.
Well, but that's not a problem, is it?
I mean, Charly is...
a musician.
You're brothers.
He could help you, right?
Things are not easy in my house.
And I don't like the music
that he makes.
And on my side,
my dad doesn't like what I do.
Well, that's not a problem.
I can talk to your dad.
-I can tell him...
-Don't even think about it, please.
-Erik...
-Tammy, I appreciate what you said.
-No, wait. Erik.
-I have to go.
Before you tell me what you need,
I'm gonna let you know that the invoices
are just the beginning of the business.
What do you mean?
I want to get into the concert business.
There's a lot of money there
to launder.
OK, I'll help you with that,
but I need you to do me a favor.
-What do you need?
-I need to put somebody in his place.
I need a couple of guys.
I can lend you an army if you want.
I've always known
that you're a better gangster than dancer.
It shows my blood runs
through your veins.
We have one minute.
Take that box.
Come on, come on.
The clock is ticking.
No, it's too hot in here.
What?
Take those boxes out.
Man, how much time is left?
Thirty seconds.
We have to move.
Move your ass, man.
Come on.
Come on, we're not gonna wait
until the fucking alarm goes off.
Do you know what's the best part
of marrying you?
Honey, I can tell you
a thousand reasons right now.
You're such a snob.
Cheeky.
Hello.
Yes, it's me.
Who's calling?
No, I'm not at the office.
Why?
What?
Thank you, I'm on my way.
-What happened?
-The alarm went off at Surround.
What do you mean? Juancho!
Man.
They took everything.
Can we solve it somehow?
How, baby?
If the insurance comes through,
it will come through months from now.
We have commitments with clients
who've already paid
and especially...
what about the guys from the neighborhood?
Huh?
Man.
Princess, I don't want that car
to become a problem.
It'd be better if you don't take it
to school.
The new album comes with sounds influenced
by the tour I made in Asia.
Zulma, take it easy, I already talked
to Tammy, and she's not a problem.
Yes, man. She'll keep our secrets.
Yes, yes.
Hi, Dad.
Princess.
Well, I have huge news.
-Really?
-Yes.
I got a job.
Princess, you don't need to work.
Dad, but I want to.
Besides, I was chosen
for a marketing campaign.
What do you mean?
Yes, I went to the audition...
What do you mean you went to an audition
without telling us anything, Vanesa?
Let her tell us, honey.
Well, I went.
I went to the audition,
and they cast me in a campaign
for a suntan lotion's company in Medellín.
That's not gonna happen.
Why not?
Princess, I didn't bring you back
from Puerto Rico
so you would ignore your studies,
and start doing those silly things.
Dad, but I haven't ignored my studies.
You may go and ask if you want.
Gema, did you know any of this?
-I had no idea, honey.
-Oh, really?
Then, can you tell me who gave you
permission to take pictures of you naked?
Wait a minute,
you're not gonna talk to her that way.
Dad, nobody took photos of me naked.
Oh, really? Are you gonna do
a suntan lotion commercial wearing a coat?
Of course not.
But I'm gonna wear a bikini.
I said no, Vanesa.
-Dad...
-I said no!
Charly, please.
We're not gonna get upset.
If what upsets you is that I went to
the agency alone, you don't have to be.
Oh, really? Didn't you just say
your mother had no idea about this?
No, my mom didn't, but Uncle Erik did.
He went with me...
Vanesa, you're not gonna do
any stupid commercial at all.
Get it through your head!
And don't go against me.
Take it easy.
Mom, it's not fair!
Vanesa...
Listen, Vanesa. That is not the way
to talk things over, baby.
Mom, but it's unfair!
My opinion doesn't count here.
Did anybody ask me if I wanted
to come here? No one.
Nobody.
I wanted to stay in Puerto Rico.
Calm down because I'm not the one
who just yelled at you.
And I'm not a person
you can't talk to either, Vanesa.
I know. I'm sorry.
But, Mom...
Understand that I've found a passion,
something that I like,
and that I also do well.
And my dad just forbade me to do it.
You know what, baby?
Come.
I'm gonna help you, honey.
-Really?
-But you can't say a word.
You know how your dad is.
He's always bossing everyone around,
and yelling at everybody.
I'm not like that.
But this has to stay between you and me.
-OK?
-OK.
Oh, Mom, you're the best.
-Where's Erik?
-In his room.
Erik!
Stay away from my daughter.
-What is it?
-I found out you took her
to a modeling casting call.
Are you out of your mind?
What's your problem?
I went with her to see how it was...
The problem is that I'm the only one
who decides what Vanesa does, not you!
OK.
You know what? You look more like
my dad than myself.
Is that what this is about?
Are you jealous?
-Is that it?
-Don't make me laugh.
Jealous of you?
You're a loser, look at you.
You're useless.
Even my Uncle Manín noticed
you're useless.
-It's not true.
-Yes, that's the way it is.
And you're the big shit or what?
Listen to this asshole.
Look at me.
I have money, fame, women.
Everything that I've wanted in life.
And what do you have?
You have things.
That's what's important to you.
And brother, you know what?
I don't envy you.
I don't care about your houses
or your cars.
Not even your stupid music.
Come here, stupid.
You have to respect me.
What? What?
Stay away from Vanesa.
You heard me.
My watch.
I leave you
with your fucking resentful kid.
With your fucking resentful rescued kid.
Ignore him.
Leave me alone.
Charly!
-Over here, please.
-Thanks.
You know what?
The contract is not very clear.
What isn't clear?
The terms of the contract, like,
the release of images, for example.
I don't know how long
the campaign is going to last.
If it's just for Colombia,
or somewhere else. I have no idea.
Well, as a matter of fact,
the client is thinking about
using the campaign for the Caribbean, too.
Then, we have to renegotiate
the terms of the contract.
Oh, Mom.
If it's a bigger campaign, the payment
has to be bigger as well.
Well, let's see
how far it can go.
Despite your daughter's beauty,
this is her first work.
And you must know that experience is
very important in this business.
Yes, that's true.
It's her first job,
and that's why she's going to give 100%.
She learns quickly.
And working in front of the camera
is in her blood.
Sure.
She's Charly Flow's daughter.
Yes.
But I'm not saying it because of that.
I'm saying it because of me.
Besides, I can train her,
and you'll be saving time.
I can guide her for whatever you need.
Well, am I gonna do the campaign or not?
OK. Then, let's fix
the terms of the contract
so we can sign it.
Do you agree?
Amparo, ask somebody
from the Legal Department
to come to my office, please.
Thank you.
Happy?
Are you going for a walk?
I'm leaving home, Mom.
What do you mean?
One fight with Charly,
and you're going to run away?
-Stop the nonsense.
-It's not because of him.
Well, partly.
But I'm leaving, anyway.
Understand me.
I don't feel good here.
Things are not OK with my dad.
Now this happens with Charly, and
he finally tells me what he thinks of me.
No. Listen, honey.
Sit down for a moment.
Your brother was furious.
And when he's angry, he says things
he doesn't really feel.
No, I don't think that's the case.
This comes from long before.
You know I don't get along well
with Charly.
No, no, no. Wait a minute.
I'll talk to Charly.
And you'll talk to your dad.
I know that if you talk to him calmly,
you'll understand each other.
Right, especially with him.
Do you really think that me talking
to him will make him change?
He's very stubborn.
I'm not gonna work with him, either.
-Mom, I'm leaving. Don't worry.
-No, no, no.
Don't worry.
I'll be in touch.
No, this is crazy, Erik.
Please stay, Erik.
Erik!
No, this material is very bad.
That boy is not doing it well.
What's happening is that
we're not understanding each other.
-What do you mean?
-Look, David, it's not personal,
but you don't understand my ideas.
I wanna give more presence
to Cris's voice.
So?
Have we finished?
Wait a little bit there.
The idea is to make his voice sound
higher, but lower in the chorus.
But we can't do that if you alter
his voice to the point
that it can't be recognized.
Do you understand?
Hardly.
Those are very vague references.
Look, David, sweeten Cris's voice,
enhancing the high pitches, OK?
OK, but if I enhance the high pitches...
...the voice shatters.
Come on, I think it'd be better
to stop for a while,
because I'm getting hungry.
No, it's not lunchtime.
Five more minutes. Wait there.
What is it?
I wanna make you a proposal.
Can I see you now?
-Talk to me.
-Everything OK, man.
We already did it.
We took everything.
You just made my day, man.
Really?
OK, then.
They just left the empty boxes.
All my life's effort
was taken in one night.
Well, let me see if you cheer up a bit
when you hear my proposal.
OK, tell me.
I want you to be the sound engineer
for the new artist at Excelsior.
Did Charly send you?
What?
No, it was my idea.
I'm working with an engineer that...
His way of working and mine
are completely different.
Why did you ask me
if Charly had sent me here?
Because a few days ago,
he came to ask me the same.
So I just assumed.
Did you say no?
Listen, Tammy,
how am I gonna work with Charly?
You won't work with Charly.
You'll work with me.
Just for Cris Vega's album.
That's it.
Please.
-Tammy...
-Listen to me, Juancho.
This is my first project with them.
I need it to be perfect.
I can make it work
if I have the best people.
We'll be an incredible team, I swear.
What?
Are you at least thinking about it?
Juancho.
It's your opportunity to go back
to the music.
I know you miss that.
You're not just a businessman.
You're also an artist.
And how can you say that
if we don't even know each other?
Hey!
This is empty.
Tammy, what are you doing here?
I could ask you the same thing.
Oh, I heard what happened.
I ran into El Búho and he told me.
Hey, my friend.
If there's anything you need,
just let me know.
If you need a loan,
equipment, sound.
Whatever you need.
I'm so sorry.
Thanks.
Everything is OK.
Well, now that we're all here together,
why don't we close the deal?
What deal?
I was just telling Juancho
that we need a sound engineer
for Cris Vega.
Charly, he's the man we need
to make that project work.
Are you serious?
This woman is a magician, right?
I told him exactly the same.
-Really?
-Let's see,
when did you agree on this?
Come on, come clean.
Oh, don't resist anymore, my friend.
Accept the work proposal.
Hey, look, I pay well.
If not, ask Tammy.
Well, seriously.
Think about your family, your business.
This can help you get ahead.
-What do you say?
-OK, yes.
-What?
-I said yes.
-That's it!
-Really?
Good, man, it's gonna be incredible.
Hey, I like this.
I like this trio.
Thank you.
-It's like the old times, right?
-Yes.
You and I
Have closed our eyes to heal again
The wounds
That are driving us crazy
Eat us up slowly
They don't let us breathe
And every night
That I don't have you
Help me move the bed,
'cause I'm gonna show you
the spare mattress.
Look.
This will be your place, OK, man?
Oh, no. You're already
organizing everything.
Well, sweetheart,
I want you to feel at home.
We don't have much,
but I want you to see us
as the family
who is gonna support you
from now on. OK?
And I'm very happy to see you again.
I'm gonna prepare some food
because our guest is very skinny.
All weak.
Your legs look like knitting needles.
-I'm gonna make you some arepas.
-Thanks, Miss Estela.
I'm sorry to be a bother.
My mom just talks all the time.
Don't be so chatty.
Otherwise, she'll talk all night.
I wish they would talk to me
that much in my house.
Oh, relax, you'll see you made
the right choice.
Now, you just have to move on, man.
And follow the plan.
Do you already have a plan?
Sure.
If not, I wouldn't have left my house.
I'm gonna make money from my music
'cause I know I'm gonna be successful.
I know it won't be easy.
But I'm gonna do alright.
That's it, man! I like listening
to Koi Fish talking like that.
My friend, you know what?
I think I fucked it up with my mom.
I feel bad
about leaving her alone.
I don't want her to think
I'm an ingrate.
She's worked so hard
to give me everything.
Oh, your mom isn't gonna think that.
Your mom knows you're a responsible guy.
She just has to understand
that you want to meet your real parents.
Yes, that's true.
I need to know who my real parents are.
And I also need to ask them why
they left me with Ligia and Manín.
Why they let them raise me.
My friend, have you ever felt
that you're in a place...
but you don't feel you belong there?
No.
Guys.
Come to eat arepas.
Come on,
because my mom is gonna get angry.
-Should I leave everything like this?
-Yes, leave it there. Come on.
So...
If she wants to kiss me,
she won't be able to stop.
I will... No, mad... No.
Madness.
Her madness.
Her madness...
I will unravel.
What about that guy, uh?
How nice.
Don't exaggerate, he's your brother,
and he was trying to help the girl.
The truth is that Vanesa has been
feeling lonely since we moved here.
Really?
And then what do we do, honey?
Should we cry,
go to church or what?
Oh, that attitude of yours
doesn't help at all, Charly.
It's not about my attitude.
If she feels lonely like you say,
then tell her to take the dog out.
Or to go to the park.
Tell her to go to the mall
with her friends.
To do whatever she wants.
But tell her not to get in weird things.
And since when is modeling
a weird thing, Charly?
You can't scold the girl
for doing something she likes.
What is that girl gonna know
about what she likes?
Not long ago, she was extremely shy.
And now it turns out that she wants
to be naked in front of everybody.
Well, how nice.
You know what?
The girl has grown up.
If you don't want to see it,
it's your problem.
Do you agree with this, Gema?
Well, yes.
I do, but to ease your mind,
I promise you I'll be in charge
of everything, honey.
-Her career, I'll be her manager...
-You're not gonna do anything.
You're gonna do your job with me.
You are not Vanesa's manager, Gema.
And don't encourage her
to get into that rotten business.
Rotten?
Charly, it's the same as yours.
Actors, singers, models.
It's the same thing.
That's why I'm saying this.
She won't be like all those horny girls.
And I'm gonna talk to her.
Careful how you talk to her, Charly.
Vanesa, wake up.
Wake up.
Dad, it's very early.
I want you to know that I had
a fight with your Uncle Erik
for taking you to places
where you shouldn't go.
You did what?
Dad, it was my idea.
He just went with me.
In this house, nobody makes decisions
without my approval, Vanesa Cruz.
And that modeling thing is completely
forbidden for you.
-But if my...
-"If my" what?
If my uncle supports me and wants
the best for me, why don´t you?
The only person who wants
the best for you is me.
You're not gonna get it now.
But when you grow up,
you'll thank me for that.
Oh, and something else.
I forbid you from seeing Uncle Erik again.
And don't talk back.
Don't talk back.
You may be my princess
and get everything you want,
but if you need me to be the bad guy
so you'll obey, you got it.
Wait. Vanesa,
you almost ruined everything.
I told you I'm gonna help you,
but you can't tell your dad.
This is the most important part
of the conversation
that Charly had at the office.
Hey, what's up, Uncle?
Oh, yes. Everything is OK. The invoices
business is already working out.
But I didn't call you because of that.
I need you to do me a favor.
No, I'm busy, Uncle. Let me tell you,
it's very simple.
OK, then. I'll see you later.
Charly is involved in
his uncle's dirty business.
This proves that they see
each other frequently.
The headquarters will keep analyzing
the conversation.
I already sent it as you requested.
Oh, good.
Good.
We're gonna keep watching Charly
to get to Manín.
Once Manín is caught, I'll be free, right?
Of course, that's the deal.
If we get to Manín through Charly,
you will get your freedom.
I can't answer you all the time, Zulma.
Don't be like that.
We just saw each other.
Gema is on top of me all the time.
What can I do?
No, no, princess, no.
Let's not risk it.
I'll call you tonight once I'm alone.
Jack, it can't be a coincidence
that just when Charly calls his uncle
to ask him for a favor,
Juancho gets robbed.
Don't you think that what you're saying
is way too far-fetched?
Not everything in life
can be Charly's fault.
This was his fault.
I know him.
Juancho told me...
He said that before getting robbed,
Charly went to talk to him
about working with him at Excelsior.
Juancho said no.
In the end, Charly ended up getting
what he wanted. I know him.
-It was just a coincidence.
-It's not a coincidence, Jack.
Charly works just like his uncle.
He hates to be told "no."
Why do you say that?
Because that's why my parents
got killed, Jack.
When my parents faced Manín,
when they refused to give
the money they owed him,
he had them killed.
The thug wanted our house.
He always wanted it.
But since we didn't want to sell it,
what did he do?
He sent me to jail and made my grandma
sell it at a very low price.
What else did you hear
in those recordings?
That Charly is sick of Zulma.
The woman fell in love with him.
Can you believe it?
And he's not, of course.
I have to make Gema know
that those two are lovers, but how?
Come here.
Wouldn't you be in danger
by exposing that?
He knows that you saw him
with the journalist the other night,
and that you know what's happening
between them.
I'm not the only one.
Does Zulma want people to know
what's going on between her and Charly?
Not yet.
But if Charly rejects her,
she won't like that.
Of course not.
There's nothing more dangerous
than a resentful woman, right?
Imagine.
I come softly
So he doesn't hear my steps
Below the water
So they don't see what I'm carrying
My flame is eternal
No one will extinguish it
Only my justice will calm my fury
