[screaming]
[Tonya] There we go, okay. That's it, Sara. You're doing great.
[screaming]
[Tonya] Okay, we need you to push.
All right now, Sara. Here we go. Come on now. Let's go.
-Very good. -[Sara] I can't… I can't do it!
Yes, of course, you can, Sara!
You're a very strong woman. Don't forget it!
Show us that Dr. Alanís didn't make a mistake, huh?
Show us that he made the right decision. Come on.
-Come on, Sara! -[woman] We need her to push.
-[Tonya] That's it. That's it, push. Push! -[screaming]
One more, Sara. Push!
[baby crying]
[Tonya] Very good. Very good, sweetie. You did great.
Congratulations, Sara.
It's a girl.
[monitor beeping]
Have you thought of a name?
Sara?
Sara, I'm talking to you.
[gasps]
Lucía.
[Tonya] Lucía? Like your mama.
That's a great choice, Sara.
Lucía is a lovely name.
Do you want to say goodbye to Lucía?
And look at her one last time?
I want to speak to Álex.
I need to see my brother.
I have to get outta here.
What for, Sara?
[monitor beeping accelerates]
This is the best option you have for your life. And hers.
There's no better place for Lucía.
I hate you.
No, that's not true, Sara.
You're lying.
Don't worry. We're going to cure you.
-It won't happen anymore. -[man] Oxygen.
Let's see. Oxytocin, please.

[inmate 1] Hey, hey, baby!
[tense music playing]
[inmate 2] Hey, guys. Blondie's gettin' out today!
[inmate 3] Don't get your hopes up, homey.
Aw, don't look so sad, Blondie!
-See ya soon, little bitch! -[inmate 4] Woo-hoo!
[cackling]
[pensive music playing]
[gate lock buzzing]
[guard] Open the gate!
[Elisa chuckles]
Finally.
I missed you, Chema.
I know. Me too. Look.
I used to always come get you at the airport. And now…
now we're here.
Can we speak on the road, huh?
I have to see Álex at the hospital.
Álex?
What happened? Is he okay?
A bunch has happened with us, Chema, but it's really all fine. Don't worry.
He was just admitted for a few days.
[sighs]
And you see?
Lorenzo didn't leave you alone after all.
Lorenzo died very disappointed in me.
And he had good reason.
Don't talk that way.
He would not have left you on his insurance policy.
[Chema] I've had a lot of time to think.
I wonder if this changes everything.
What do you mean, Chema?
I'm a different man, Elisa.
It's gonna be okay.
Come on.
[Chema] Hey.
Hi.
Finally, man.
It's so good to see you, brother.
I missed you so much.
Yeah, I missed you guys.
-[Rodolfo] You okay? -Yeah, are you?
[Rodolfo] Yeah, I'm cool.
How is Álex?
He's alive,
but what's important is you're here.
And our sister. You tell him yet?
Yeah.
We have a sister, and…
and Sara's alive.
[César] We can stop with all the accusations.
You hate me, and you have the right to do so.
I just need you to understand,
even if you don't believe me, I'm glad you're out.
[scoffs]
Well, you can thank Lorenzo.
Oh, no. The "Homo Lorenzo." That is what you called him, is it not?
"The Homo"?
[Elisa] Okay.
Rodolfo, stay here with him, and Chema, let's go.
Sure.
-You know what? -[Elisa] No.
There are people who come back from the dead to help others.
But sadly, there are those who only come back when they smell money.
Look at me, Papa.
The son who you humiliated
no longer exists.
And if the situation was different, maybe you could be proud of me.
Especially after what I'm gonna do.
[tense music playing]
Tell me what your brother is doing. The truth.
No idea.
How is Álex?
-And what do you know about the girl? -Seriously?
If you're as glad to see Chema as you say you are,
why don't you turn yourself in and prove it to us?
He hasn't been sentenced yet, and he can go down for a long time.
Just be a father for the first time in your fucking life.
None of us have kids.
And you know…
I don't think it's a coincidence.
Have you ever given thought as to why that is?
What?
We want to put a stop to the last name Lazcano.
[chuckles]
Chema, no.
I don't understand what you're trying to say or…
or where you're going with this whole situation.
To be reborn, you first need to die, Elisa.
There's no other way.
[clears throat] Excuse me. You have five minutes.
-This way, please. -Thanks.
[door opens, closes]
[monitor beeping]
Chema.
How are you, Álex?
[Álex] Don't worry about me.
I've been through way worse.
How are you, my friend?
Fine.
[Álex] From the looks of it,
that lawyer friend of Lorenzo's did a good job getting you out.
I guess money buys freedom.
[emotional music playing]
Regardless, you don't know how happy I am to see you out of that place.
[exhales]
Not a day passes that I don't think about what you did for me.
Thanks.
You took the blame to save me, brother.
And I know how fucking hard life can be in the joint.
-Chema. -Hmm?
You all right?
[tense music playing]
[door opens]
[Álex] What's up fuckhead?
-Hmm? -Hey, Chema.
Mm. 'Sup.
Cheers.
Cheers, homey.
Álex.
I'm starting a new life, okay?
And you're not in it.
It's impossible.
[door opens, closes]
[suspenseful music playing]
Just hang on for a minute.
[groans]
Are you okay?
-You want me to call a… a nurse? -No.
No, I don't.
I want you to answer some of my questions.
Were you in contact with Daniela, Nicandro's sister, after Sara passed away?
No.
I don't know about her.
Why?
I need to figure out why and where her parents locked her up
and forced her to have therapy.
What therapy?
Look, Álex…
Daniela could have chosen a different path.
And if she didn't,
she's the only one to blame.
What do you mean, man?
Chema.
[sighs]
Now I don't owe you.
Finally, after all these years, you and I are even.
Goodbye, Álex.
What are you saying? Chema.
-[door closes] -Chema.

-My sweetheart, it's you. -What are you…
-What the fuck are you doing? -Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because you're here with me now, sweetheart.
-How have you been? -[sobbing]
I can't live like this anymore.
Why, my boy?
You'll be okay because God…
God is here with you.
-God? -Yes.
God delivered you here to take care of me and save me.
-Mommy. -Huh?
What do I do? I wanna start over.
[sobbing]
How do I do that?
I want a normal life.
[sniffles]
Normal?
Why are you saying that?
[grunting]
[emotional music playing]
[crying]
-What's wrong, sweetheart? Tell me. -I just feel disgusting!
It's because you were living a sinful life,
but God brought you to me so I could help you to save yourself.
Everything will be all right, my boy.
It felt like God was always against me.
-No. -Like he didn't love me.
No, that's not the truth.
That's not true because if it was,
you wouldn't have been sent to save me so I could save you.
I almost gave it all up, but now… Look, now, you're here.
-[crying] Now you're here with me. -Mama.
And I'm not alone, sweetheart.
And I'm going to help you.
-Please help me. -I know, sweetheart.
Help me, Mommy, please.
-I'm going to help you. -I can't do it without you.
-I'm going to help you, sweetheart. -I can't be like this.
[Reinaldo] The following will serve
to create a network of friends and contacts for the patient.
This is fundamental
in order to introduce the disruptive elements
that will allow us to control her.
It's very important.
Sara Guzmán.
She's a lonely teenager.
She has almost no friends her own age.
This should be easy.
Actually, I'm going to get her involved with some friends of my own son, Nicandro.
Her mom, we already know.
Docile.
Poor, low status.
And she has little support.
She won't give us any problems.
RELATIVE / MOTHER RELATIVE / BROTHER
Álex Guzmán.
Sara's brother.
Two years older.
He's won competitions in track and field
and martial arts.
He works as a personal trainer in a fancy gym.
One that's in his community.
He could pose a serious problem to all of our plans.
We must keep an eye out.
The first task will be having him fired from the gym where he currently works.
I'll manage to get him hired at the gym where my son and his friends work out.
This way, we'll cross their two worlds.
And we'll make our little guinea pig enter the cage, if you will,
with her own two feet.
It's gonna be great.
And her own brother will serve as our ally.
She'll obtain a membership to the gym at a reduced price.
Essentially free.
A young girl of her age with her characteristics
should be quite interested in boosting her self-esteem
in the vanity fair
that the Lazcano's gym will provide.
[laughter]
[woman 1] Yes, but she'll get a pacemaker.
Wow, she's a fatty!
[woman 2] Ah, great.
Yeah, I don't know. You want a drink?
[Marifer] Hello.
[dance music playing]
It's occupied.
I'll make it quick.
No one should see us together.
So your friend, Sara, how close are you?
[Marifer] Clara?
I have solved all our problems.
I got some cash.
[laughs]
-You wanna celebrate? -Yeah!
[Marifer] Mm-hmm.
[ominous music playing]
[Reinaldo] There you are.
[birds chirping]
Should I give you a ride to your house?
Talk to Frida. She doesn't wanna leave.
I don't get it.
[Reinaldo] Nicandro isn't there.
[Mariana] No, he's with God.
God can exist anywhere.
I'll have to get used to this place being my wife's second home.
And I hate cemeteries.
A mother never abandons her children.
Mm.
And this is exactly why I can still help José María.
But to do it, I need your help, Reinaldo.
And what's wrong with him?
The same thing that happened to Daniela.
[pensive music playing]
Do you think my son still has time to find salvation?
[pensive music continues]
[crying]
-How do you like it? -I think it's a beautiful penthouse.
[Mariana] Sweetheart.
I was just showing Toledo
the new apartment where you and I will be living.
It's beautiful, Chema.
-Why did the family lawyer come here? -Chema, sweetie.
You know that I love you, but I need you to sign these papers.
This is merely a bureaucratic formality. You know how lawyers are.
[Toledo] It's just power of attorney.
If you and your mother will be living together
and thus sharing all of the costs, which are up to her,
it's best if she has access to your bank accounts,
your investments…
-Basically, to your estate. -Uh, bank accounts?
Wait. What?
The money that Lorenzo left for me?
What if something happens to you, Chema?
I hope to God not,
but you know perfectly well your father left me in ruins.
[pensive music playing]
How many times do I have to tell you you're all that I have?
And I will do everything in my power to make you happy.
Sweetheart.
Look, Chema, I need you to sign this document over here, please.
[pensive music continues]
Here as well.
This is to authorize an extension of your credit card for your mother.
[tense music playing]
[monitor beeping]
[gasps]
Finally.
I heard your doctor say they'll discharge you tomorrow.
You've always been so strong, Álex.
You've always been able to overcome anything.
I admire that in you.
If you were my son, I wouldn't be able to contain my pride.
But I'm not your son, motherfucker.
Your real son,
he needs help from you.
You killed Abel Martínez.
And Chema's paying for it.
But in order for him to stay out of jail,
you would have to go in.
You get me?
The kind of sacrifice a father has to make for his child.
And speaking of children, any news regarding Sara's daughter?
If one of those motherfuckers did anything…
I will murder them, one… by one.
I'm gonna find her.
When I get out of here, I'm gonna hide.
And I'll go somewhere where…
where Reinaldo won't find me either.
I lied to you, Álex.
I know where Reinaldo and Frida have been keeping their daughter.
[tense music playing]
[grunts]
I think tomorrow I'll go and visit the casino.
You know, the basement.
I'll make sure Sergio knows to prepare the best.
Well, you better.
Things have gotten really difficult at our house.
Is it Daniela again?
Frida misses her a lot.
She blames me every day
for keeping Daniela locked up at the Medusa Center.
And she told me I don't have a clue about the emotional link
that ties a mother and her child.
I have to remind her I have a doctorate in neuropsychology.
[rifle cocks]
[gunshot]
[César] Finish her already.
No.
Let the mother survive.
Why?
I told you. Love is a fantasy.
She'll forget him soon.
You good, sweetheart?
Then let's go, hmm? [chuckles]
[emotional music playing]
[Reinaldo] Sara, like Medusa, is a monstrous young lady
trapped forever in a vicious cycle of hatred toward men.
[pensive music playing]
[Reinaldo] The women who suffer from this issue
all do the same thing as Medusa.
They search for the most cruel and evil man
so they can justify the impossibility of being loved.
[Sara whimpering]
[Reinaldo] Even if they do find true love,
their ultimate objective will be to destroy the person that they love.
-[electrical crackling] -[muffled screaming]
[Reinaldo] These patients fantasize about punishing themselves
and even committing suicide.
Therefore, it's quite common
that they expose themselves to situations that put their lives at great risk.
Welcome, José María.
We've been waiting for your arrival.
[Mariana] Goodbye, sweetheart. Thank you.
[unsettling music playing]
[Tonya] You're going to participate
in the discovery of a cure for patients like you with Dr. Alanís.
You'll be a pioneer, Sara.
You just have to be willing to subject yourself to some treatments
in the time that the doctor estimates convenient.
-[electrical crackling] -[Sara whimpering]
-[electrical crackling] -[Sara crying]
[Álex] Sara.
Mama says to come down quick. The food's getting cold, and…
Sara?
[tense music playing]
[door opens, closes]
[nurse] When you undress, you can leave your clothes on the bench.
We'll take care of it for you.
And I need for you to hand in your cell phone, wallet, ID,
and the keys to your car and your house.
All of your belongings.
And now!
[tense music playing]
[Sara grunts]
[Sara whimpering]
[tense music continues]
-[electrical crackling] -[Sara whimpering]
[music intensifies]
[tense music playing]
[snakes hissing]
[breathing heavily]
[screams]
[whimpers]
[Reinaldo] What do you mean she escaped?
I don't care if she doesn't wanna cooperate.
She doesn't have the option of changing her mind.
Not anymore.
[unsettling music playing]
[tense music playing]
[Sara yelps]
[echoing] Sara.
Sara.
How do you feel?
Relax, everything's okay.
[exhales]
What do you want?
I want you to be the very first patient
to beat schizophrenia.
That's what I want.
I know that you're tired of hearing those voices in…
in your head, aren't you?
No. You can't possibly spend the rest of your life that way.
[Reinaldo chuckles softly]
You know there are many, many mothers
who even harm their babies all because of those voices.
Those voices in your head are like…
like poisonous snakes.
And they all talk to you at the same time.
And they feed off of you.
I… I need you to help me
and try to discover how to shut them up.
How, one after the other,
we can kill them off…
these voices you have in your head.
Sara, you could turn yourself into a miracle.
[grunts] And if I don't cooperate?
[tense music playing]
You're not understanding.
Sara, miracles don't reject themselves.
You would rather go on like this, dead, while you're living?
Like a monster that nobody loves?
Would you?
Let me go! Let go of me!
Because you helped Lucía to escape, your brother is now dead,
and it's your fault!
And there's no going back!
You're a monster!
Let me go!
[tense music playing]
-[electrical crackling] -[Daniela whimpering]
[pensive music playing]
[exhales]
[baby crying]
[suspenseful music playing]
And now, Lucía, at barely a day old,
you're going to change the world.
Twenty years ago, Reinaldo founded a center of psychiatry in Cuernavaca.
The center's called Medusa.
[groans]
[grunts]
Where you headed?
To rescue your daughter, asshole.
My niece.
