That's it, Sara. Push.
-Push, ma'am. -You can do it. Come on.
Very good.
I can't.
Sure you can. You can do it, Sara. Remember, you're a strong woman.
Prove that Alanís wasn't wrong.
That he made the right choice. Come on.
Come on, Sara. That's it.
There, push. Push!
One more. Push!
That's it.
Well done, sweetheart.
You did great.
Very good. Congratulations, Sara.
It's a girl.
Have you thought of a name?
Sara? Sara, I'm talking to you.
-Lucía. -Lucía.
Like your mom.
That's a good choice, Sara.
Lucía is a beautiful name.
Do you want to say goodbye to Lucía?
See her one last time?
I want to call Álex.
I need to see my brother.
I have to get out of here.
What for, Sara?
This is the best life for you. And for her too.
There's no better place for Lucía.
I hate you.
No, that's not true, Sara.
You're lying.
Don't worry. We'll cure you.
-That won't happen again. -Oxygen.
Check oxytocins, please.
Oxygen.
A unit of blood.

A NETFLIX SERIES
A snake hides in your bed
This snake doesn't want to sleep
Another snake waits until you're asleep
To come out and play
Close your eyes
Nothing's wrong
Hello, good evening.
We're here on Avenida de la Paz in Santa Fe
where there has been an accident
that has left several injured and possibly dead.
…they'll start dancing
The snakes play at night
They laugh for hours at a time
When morning comes They run and hide
It's time to wake up
José María Lazcano.
No, people like you always come back.
That girl is mine, assholes.
Blondie.
Don't get excited, fag.
You'll be back.
Your kind always ends up back here.
You won't forget me, right?
I'll be waiting for you, fag.
Open the gate!
Finally.
I missed you.
Me too.
Look.
I always used to pick you up at the airport, and now
here we are.
Let's talk on the way, yeah?
I have to visit Álex at the hospital.
Álex?
What happened? Is he okay?
A lot has happened, Chema. But he's fine, don't worry.
He's been in the hospital for a few days.
See?
After all, Lorenzo didn't leave you behind.
Lorenzo died very disappointed in me.
And he was right to be.
Don't say that.
After all, you were his sole beneficiary.
What if this wasn't in vain?
If there's a price to everything?
What do you mean, Chema?
I'm a new man, Elisa.
It'll all be fine.
Let's go.
Hey!
Finally.
I'm so glad to see you, brother.
I missed you a lot.
-I missed you too. -Are you okay?
-Yeah. You? -I'm good.
How's Álex?
He's alive.
That's the important part. Like you being here.
Did you tell him about our sister?
Yeah.
We have a sister…
and Sara is alive.
Spare me the indignation.
I know you hate me, and that's fair.
I wanted to tell you that, believe it or not, I'm happy you're free.
You can thank Lorenzo for that.
Oh, sorry. That faggot Lorenzo.
That's what you called him, right?
"Faggot"?
All right.
Rodolfo, stay with him.
-Chema, let's go. -Sure.
You know what?
There are people that come back to life to help others.
But unfortunately, some just come back
when they smell money.
Look at me, Dad.
The son you humiliated
doesn't exist anymore.
If the situation was different,
maybe you'd feel proud of me.
Especially after what I'm gonna do.
What will your brother do? What did he mean?
I have no idea.
How's Álex doing?
-And what about the girl? -The girl.
If you're as happy as you said to see Chema,
why don't you face the music?
Give yourself up.
They haven't passed a sentence, and Chema is still at risk.
Be a father for the first time in your fucking life.
None of us have kids, and you know what?
I don't think it's a coincidence.
Have you ever thought about the real reason?
Which is?
That we're gonna put an end to the Lazcano name.
Chema, I don't…
I don't get what you're saying
or what you're getting at.
That dying is the only way to be reborn, Elisa.
No other way.
Excuse me.
You've got five minutes.
-Over here, please. -Thanks.
Chema.
How are you, Álex?
Don't worry about me.
Nothing can keep me down.
What about you, man?
I'm good.
I can tell that
Lorenzo's lawyer did her job right.
Money buys freedom.
Anyway, you don't know how happy I am to see you again.
Not a day went by that I didn't think
about what you did for me.
Thank you.
You took the blame to save me.
And I know just how hard life in jail is.
Chema.
Are you okay?
Where's my beer?
-What? -My beer.
Here.
Cheers.
Cheers, bro.
Álex.
I'm gonna start a new life.
And you're not in it.
You can't be.
Not so fast.
Are you okay?
-Should I call a nurse? -No, I'm okay.
Just answer my question.
Have you had any contact with Daniela, Nicandro's sister,
after Sara died?
No.
I haven't seen her since.
Why?
I need to find out why her parents locked her up
and forced her into therapy.
What therapy?
Look, Álex.
Daniela had a chance to change.
And if she didn't,
that's her problem.
What are you talking about?
Chema.
Nothing.
And we're even now.
Finally, after all these years, you and I are even.
So goodbye, Álex.
What do you mean, goodbye? Chema!
Chema!
Che--
Mom?
Mom.
Mom?
-Honey. -What are you doing?
Honey.
-Honey, it's you. -What are you…?
-What the hell were you doing? -It's fine.
It's fine because you're here with me now, honey.
Are you okay?
-I can't take it anymore. -Why not, honey?
Honey, you'll be fine, because God…
God is here with you.
-God? -Yes. See?
God sent you to care for me and save me.
And how…?
How do I start my life?
Start over.
I want a normal life.
Normal?
What do you mean?
-What's wrong, honey? -I feel disgusted.
That's because you were living in sin,
but God sent you to me so I could help you, to save you.
You'll be just fine, honey.
I always felt God was against me.
-No. -That He hated me.
No, that's not true.
That's not true, because if He did,
He wouldn't have sent you to save me,
so I could help you.
I was about to end it all, and now you're here.
Now you're here with me.
And I'm not alone anymore, honey.
I'll help you.
-Please. -Of course, honey.
-Please, help me. -I will.
I can't…
-I can't do this anymore. -I'll help you, honey.
The next step for the patient is creating
a network of friends and acquaintances.
This is vital
in order to introduce the disruptive elements
that will help us manipulate her will.
Very important.
Sara Guzmán, a lone teenager,
practically without any friends her age.
This will be easy.
In fact, I will introduce Sara
to my own son Nicandro's friends.
We already know her mother.
Docile, uneducated.
No support networks.
She won't present any obstacles.
RELATIVE/BROTHER
Álex Guzmán.
Sara's brother. Two years older than her.
He's won athletic and martial arts tournaments.
He works as a personal trainer
for a gym in his neighborhood.
He could be dangerous to our plans.
We have to monitor him.
First, we'll have him fired from the gym where he's currently employed.
I'll make sure he's hired
at the gym where my son and his friends train.
We'll make the two worlds meet.
The guinea pig
will walk into the cage on its own.
And her brother will be our ally.
He'll get her a membership
at a discount, almost free.
A young girl of her age and traits
will be very interested in improving her self-esteem
in a vanity fair
like the gym of the Lazcanos.
Hello.
Occupied.
I'll be quick. We shouldn't be seen together.
How close are you to Sara Guzmán?
Clara.
What is it?
Our problems are over.
I got money.
-How about we celebrate? -Yeah.
Thanks.
Should I take you home?
Tell Frida that. She won't move from there.
I understand her.
Nicandro isn't there.
No, he's with God.
God can be anywhere.
I'll have to get used to this place being my wife's second home.
And I just hate cemeteries.
A mother never abandons her children.
And that
is what I will do with José María.
But I need your help, Reinaldo.
What's wrong with him?
The same thing as your daughter, Daniela.
Do you think my son
can still be saved?
-What do you think? -It's a great investment.
Honey.
I'm showing Toledo the apartment where we'll be living.
It's very nice, Chema.
-Why is the family lawyer here? -Chema, honey.
You know I love you, but I need you to sign these documents.
It's just some paperwork.
You know how lawyers are.
It's just a power of attorney.
If you're gonna share a home,
and the expenses that she'll be paying,
it's for the best that she has access to your bank accounts, your investments.
Basically all your--
Bank accounts?
What?
The money Lorenzo left me too?
What if something happens to you, Chema? God forbid,
but you know your father ruined me.
How many times do I have to tell you that you're all I have left?
And that I'll do everything I can to make you happy.
Honey.
Chema, I need your signature on this document, please.
Also here.
This is authorizing a credit card extension for your mother.
Finally.
I heard the doctor say you'll be discharged tomorrow.
You've always been strong, Álex.
You've overcome everything.
I admire that about you.
If you were my son, I wouldn't be able to hide my pride.
But I'm not your fucking son.
Your real son
needs your help.
You killed Abel Martínez.
And Chema is paying for that.
But to stay out of jail,
you'd have to go in.
See?
The sacrifices a father makes for his children.
Speaking of children, what about Sara's daughter?
If those fuckers did anything to her,
I'll kill every last one of them.
I'll find her.
I'll hide when I get out of here.
I'll go to a place
where Reinaldo can't find me.
I lied to you, Álex.
I know where Reinaldo and Frida committed their daughter.
I'm thinking of visiting the casino tomorrow, you know.
The basement.
I'll talk to Sergio so he can prepare the best for you.
You'd better.
Things are tough at home.
-Daniela again? -Frida misses her a lot.
She blames me every day because I keep her
confined in the Medusa Center.
She even said to me that I don't understand the emotional bond
between a mother and her daughter.
To me.
I've got a PhD in neuropsychiatry.
Shoot already, man.
No.
Let the mother live.
What for?
I told you. Love is an illusion.
She'll soon forget it.
Ready, honey?
Then let's go.
Sara, like Medusa, is a monstrous child
forever trapped in a vicious cycle
of hatred towards men.
Women who suffer this disorder
do the same as Medusa.
They find the cruelest, meanest man
so as to justify their incapacity to be loved.
Even if they do find love,
their ultimate objective will be
to destroy the one they love.
These patients
fantasize about self-harm
or even suicide.
Thus, it's common for them to be involved
in situations where their lives are at risk.
Welcome, José María. We were waiting for you.
Bye, honey. Thank you.
You'll cooperate with Dr. Alanís to find a cure
for patients like you.
You'll be a trailblazer, Sara.
You just have to be willing to be subjected to certain treatments
for as long as the doctor deems necessary.
Sara.
Mom says you should come down. The food's getting cold and…
Sara.
Leave your clothes on the bench after undressing.
We'll take care of them.
And I need to take your cell phone,
your wallet, ID, car keys, and house keys.
All your belongings.
Now.
What do you mean, she escaped?
I don't care if she won't cooperate.
She can't turn back now.
Not anymore.
Sara.
How do you feel?
Calm down. Nothing's wrong.
What do you want?
I want you to be the first patient
to conquer schizophrenia.
That's what I want.
I know you're tired of hearing the voices in your head.
You don't want to spend
the rest of your life like this.
Do you know there are many mothers
that harm their babies because of those voices?
The voices in your head
are like venomous snakes.
And they all talk at once.
And they feed off of you.
I need you to help me
find out how to quiet them.
To kill them one by one.
The voices in your head.
Sara, you could become
a miracle.
And if I don't cooperate?
You don't get it.
You don't reject a miracle.
Or would you prefer to live like this, dead inside?
Like a monster nobody loves?
Is that it?
Let me go!
You helped Lucía escape.
And now your brother is dead.
Because of you!
You're a monster!
Let go of me!
And now, Lucía, though you're barely a day old,
you'll make history.
Twenty years ago, Reinaldo created
a psychiatric center in Cuernavaca.
The Medusa Center.
Where are you going?
To rescue your daughter.
My niece.
