In Greek mythology,
Medusa had snakes instead of hair.
And her gaze turned to stone
those that locked eyes with her.
She was emblematic of a woman scorned.
A tragic being,
incapable of loving or being loved.
That's what I term
the "Medusa complex."
Behind the rational facade of our lives,
we fear madness.
We don't dare question our values
or our role in society
for fear of doubting our own sanity.
Like Medusa,
we're condemned to solitude.
Hello? Sara?
I'm Sara Guzmán, a friend of your son Nicandro.
Why are you calling?
Did something happen to Nicandro?
Yeah. I'm kinda worried about him.
I've seen him selling and using drugs.
What kind of drugs?
Weed, molly, cocaine.
Sir, your son has been selling drugs to his friends for months now.
-He has a network with other friends-- -What are you doing?
Put your hands up!
Nicandro Gómez de la Cortina.
Dad?
Please, get me out of here. I'm begging you.
I'll do whatever you want. Anything.
-Please. -You disappoint me. You and Daniela.
My two children are not worth a dime.
-Your mother didn't raise you right. -I don't know why I did it.
I swear it wasn't serious. You gotta believe me.
-I don't know-- -Shut your mouth.
I called the police on you.
And I can also get you out of here before the day is over.
From now on, you work for me.
Yeah, all right, Dad.
I'll do whatever you say. Anything you want, Dad.
You're going to help me get rid of Sara.
Sara Guzmán needs to disappear.
Understood?
A NETFLIX SERIES
Where's Álex? Where's…?
Today's the last day to pay the Hungarian.
He won't back down until I pay him.
We've got bigger problems to tackle
than paying my dad's pimp.
They killed Dr. Alanís.
Sara's psychiatrist.
That means we're all in danger.
Is your dad back in Mexico?
No.
I don't know. Why?
Dr. Alanís was killed with a shot between the eyes.
Your dad's hunting trademark.
I don't believe in coincidences.
Help me, Álex.
Otherwise, the next person to get shot between the eyes
will be me.
You'll pay those bastards today.
But how?
We don't have the money.
I know exactly what we'll pay them back with.
Rodolfo, nice to see you.
How are you?
Gentlemen.
Let's get this over with quick.
I brought the money.
I don't know about Hungary,
but in Mexico, it's bad manners to count money in front of others.
There's the money.
I came over here.
I understood what would happen if I didn't.
Here is
the combination to that briefcase.
Take good care of the code.
Repeat after me.
It's a very simple code.
I chose the combination
in a very special way.
The first number is eight.
The number of times my father and you did business together.
The second is two.
The number of times we've met face-to-face.
Then six.
Because, if I got it right,
the Lazcanos have already paid six million for your goods.
Seven.
Because it's my lucky number.
And zero.
The number of times you'll ever threaten me again, son of a fucking bitch.
Fire in the hole!
You're a fucking genius, Álex!
Let's go!
The nurse is no longer a problem.
I cannot forgive betrayal.
You and I had a deal, Marifer.
We were a team.
I changed your life.
-Occupied. -I'll be quick.
We shouldn't be seen together.
How close are you to Sara Guzmán?
She's my best friend.
Perfect.
I need your help.
I want you to be part of my team
and follow your friend day and night.
I'll pay you a lot of money.
Much more than you could imagine.
You'll never have money problems for the rest of your life.
Could you do this for me?
Did you think I wouldn't find out about what happened with Álex?
Turn the volume up.
What about Nicandro?
You said you killed my sister.
That you cut the parachute ropes.
And now you mention Nicandro and Dr. Alanís.
Dr. Alanís, Sara's psychiatrist?
You thought you could fool me.
What was the plan?
To sabotage everything we've accomplished?
Put us all at risk?
This is no life.
Hell would probably be more comfortable.
And I
can get you there.
Right now.
I was looking for you.
They said you were here.
I thought you could allow me to see her.
I want to hug her.
She's my fucking sister.
She's making great progress.
-I wouldn't want to-- -What more do you want, Dad?
Daniela has been locked in here for so long.
Please, let me see her.
What's up, man?
Are you gonna feed me or what?
I'm so hungry I can barely see the screen.
-Let's get a pizza or something. -It's almost like you were pregnant.
-Who's pregnant? -Nobody.
-Let's see what's in your fucking kitchen. -All right.
-Just because you're losing. -Yeah, sure.
-You want anything? -No, thanks.
Fine.
Daniela.
If you're looking for Nicandro,
he went with Rodolfo to the kitchen.
Are you all right?
Daniela, wait.
Dani.
Dani, if you need anything, I can talk to Nicandro or your parents.
Hey.
It's okay.
Calm down. It's all right.
Daniela is really weird.
She's crazy. That's why they put her in the nuthouse.
Look, wait.
She's not crazy.
She's in love with a girl, so her parents--
That's what I meant. It's gross.
What do you mean, gross?
It's not normal.
Are you gonna act like my mom now?
So prudish? Come on.
She's like that just because she fell in love with a girl?
What did they do to mess her up like that?
Daniela.
Five minutes.
We couldn't save any of your assets.
This means the SHCP will go forward with the seizure.
Your bank accounts have been frozen.
My children grew up in that house.
The banks also went ahead and canceled your cards.
There's also an issue with the fire.
The security cameras revealed that it wasn't an accident.
It was arson.
Elisa did it.
So the insurance company won't pay out a single cent.
And it was lucky we kept them from pressing charges against her.
That money belonged to my family.
What about Chema?
Unfortunately, there's no money to pay his bail.
Or for a private lawyer.
Make them pay.
Those fuckers are getting too friendly.
You gotta be careful with…
-Wait, I have a deal going down. -Sure.
I need to make that call.
You know what I want in exchange for the battery.
UNKNOWN
Hello?
Who?
Chema?
Dude.
Keep your distance!
Sit down.
I'm so happy to see you.
Same here.
You don't know what I went through…
to make that call.
We'll get you out of here.
I swear.
We're doing everything we can to find--
Listen, you need to find Alma Solares.
She's a friend of Lorenzo's from law school.
Look for her and find her.
Tell her I need help.
That I've got no money to pay her, but I didn't know who else to call.
Álex.
I can't take it anymore.
Look at me.
You're gonna be my bitch.
Please, let go.
I won't survive in here.
I'm gonna help you, Chema.
That fucker won't touch you again.
Not him or anybody in this prison.
Look at me.
Chema, look me in the eyes.
Fucking look at me.
No one will touch you again.
I swear.
You're not alone, man.
But I left you all alone.
And I never visited.
I didn't do anything to get you out of here.
I didn't even give you the videos you asked for.
And…
I lied to you.
I said I'd lost them, and…
The truth is, I burned them.
I burned them
out of shame because…
I used to record you all the time
without you knowing.
In the shower.
I'm sorry. I was an idiot.
I couldn't handle my hormones, and…
-I couldn't handle my feelings for you. -There's nothing to forgive.
I'm gonna help you and get you out of here.
Don't let me down, Álex.
Don't let me down, man.
I need protection for José María Lazcano.
You're the warden here, and you can easily do that.
Chema is being raped.
He's being fucking raped.
Guzmán, you better forget what happened here.
-We don't discuss the past-- -And why is that?
You don't want to be reminded that a prisoner,
in this here prison, became a hacker?
In this very office, with your help?
You promised
not to talk about that.
Nowadays, there's social media.
Do you know how long it would take me to make this go viral?
Less than ten seconds.
I'm willing to do it to protect Chema. That and much more.
Believe me.
I didn't do it.
Those assholes started it. I just defended myself.
The guards say otherwise.
Do you believe everything they say?
Just ask your wife.
What about my wife?
You're here day and night, just like all of us.
You think she doesn't have another man?
I'm sending you to an isolation cell right now.
I can find out if she's cheating on you.
I can find out.
But I need you to get me a few things.
Where the fuck did you get this?
Your wife isn't good with passwords.
Did she say she went out with her friends over the weekend?
It wasn't true.
I can find out anything about anyone.
I just need permanent access to a high-speed internet connection.
And someone to teach me.
Not just anybody.
A hacker. The best.
One more thing.
I don't want any questions.
ELECTRONICS
The important things are here.
You gotta remember that a backdoor is crucial to get in.
THE INVISIBLE INTERNET
SECRETS OF THE DEEP WEB
You won't just provide protection for José María Lazcano.
You're gonna call Alma Solares.
She's a criminal lawyer.
You're gonna ask her to represent him and pay however much she asks for.
No matter the amount.
Understood?
I hope you like it, and that it's useful.
Thanks, Frida.
Let's see.
It's the same one I use on my thigh.
It's important to be grateful for things.
And if there's anything Father Benedicto, my confessor, taught me,
it's how to use my body
for penance.
Yes.
We must learn to give thanks for what we have, for our children.
Our children.
Daniela returned to therapy yesterday.
I'd love to see the clinic.
-Where is it? -A house in Cuernavaca.
Reinaldo is so proud.
Why are you so interested in the therapy?
Do you suspect
Rodolfo?
Oh no!
-No, Rodolfo has a girlfriend. -Right.
-Sara. -Yeah.
José María?
You'll love the place. And the therapy.
Daniela is so happy in her support group.
With everyone at her support groups.
These things happen to girls, and to boys too.
When the father is absent
and there's a close relationship with the mother.
It's our fault that they turned out like this.
But…
Reinaldo can cure them.
Thanks for the info.
It's Rodolfo. He dealt with the Hungarian.
That's good.
Can you explain how you always manage to help everyone?
And now I gotta help Chema as soon as possible.
-Look. -I know.
It says here that Sara got on the parachute at 4:05 p.m.
Five minutes later, she hit the water.
Sara!
Write it down.
As soon as Sara fell, Rodolfo and I dove in to rescue her.
What happened after that,
I can't really remember.
It's all just fragments of memories.
The next thing I remember, we were in a car going to a hospital.
But I do remember clearly
that when I got into the hospital…
-You can't go in. -She's my sister.
…there was a clock on a wall.
-You can't go in. -Sara.
You can't come in!
That means Sara got to the ER at 5:00 p.m.
Yes.
But…
Look.
The death certificate says she died at 7:28 p.m.
We know that's not true
because she gave birth eight months later.
Exactly.
What I just don't get is,
if Sara is alive,
who did your mother bury in her grave?
The question is, what happened to Sara between 5:00 and 7:30 p.m?
What did they do in those two and a half hours?
I won't see you free ever again.
TAKE OUT THE BRAIN ALANÍS SCARES ME
I'm not moving until Dr. Alanís talks to me.
I need him to explain why my daughter wrote something like this.
Like I said, the doctor can't--
I need an answer, or I'll go crazy.
You've always been so kind to me.
Help me.
My daughter didn't deserve to die this way.
I'll give this to the doctor. Don't worry.
Save yourself the resurrection speech.
Rodolfo told me it was all fake.
I didn't come to make speeches.
I came to apologize.
The dead don't apologize.
Dead people don't,
but I'm still alive.
And I'm more alive than ever now that I'm near you.
Is this the part where I fall into your arms,
and we live happily ever after?
Sorry, but that won't happen.
I don't have a cent to my name.
I lost everything.
What about your money?
-I have none. -That's a lie.
Someone stole it.
It just vanished from my account overnight.
-No honor among thieves. -I'm no thief.
I came here to face the music.
I lost everything, César.
My money, my family, my children.
All for your sake.
But you know what makes me the angriest?
It's that I ever believed
that I could be rid of you.
I don't feel a thing for you, César. Let go.
Just go.
I don't need a dead man I already buried.
And pay close attention, César Lazcano.
Because this is the last time we see each other.
Out of the way, asshole.
Showers are first come, first served.
You're all jacked up,
but you've never thrown a punch.
Fuck off.
Thank your buddy Álex.
Are you here to talk about your friend José María Lazcano?
No, not right now.
I came here
because I need your help to exhume my sister's body.
If I'm right, Sara is still alive.
And the only way I can prove it is by digging up her grave.
Do you have her death certificate and the permit--
This is much bigger than the red tape.
And if I'm right,
much more dangerous.
I need your help.
Please.
What's up?
Álex.
