A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Won't you take me to your room?
Come. Come.
What is it? Are you okay?
I can't deny that I like you.
But...
But we're working together. This is not a good idea.
I've liked you ever since I first saw you.
I can't have a serious relationship...
and you're with César.
I wouldn't want to get in the way, ruin your relationship.
Are you done?
In any case, let me decide whether I want to run the risk or not.
Good night.
Are you all right?
I thought you wanted to spend the night with me.
If this is about your brother, don't worry. We'll make something up.
That's not it.
Was it true what you told me?
I never say anything I don't really feel.
May I use your toilet?
Sure, go ahead.
Valentín, wait. What are you doing?
Give me your jacket.
What we did has joined us together forever.
I think I'm falling in love with you.
I had a call from Mr. Treviño just now.
He's giving me the job in Guadalajara!
Cool, congratulations.
We have to go tomorrow to check the logistics,
especially to look for an apartment.
We?
I mean, you could come with me on the second trip if you want, but...
I think it'd be more convenient if we went together now.
So that we take advantage of it and...
But I can't just move away like that, César. I have a job.
Do you think I'm having a tea party or something?
Hey, I did not say that. I didn't say your work isn't important,
but it's not the only important thing here.
Jimena, I've been waiting for this job opportunity for five years.
We both knew that this was going to happen sooner or later.
That's perfect, but don't expect me from one day to the next
to just leave my life.
I don't mean that.
We had already agreed I could come over on the weekends
to see you while you put things in order.
We had already talked about it. This isn't new for you.
Yes, we had talked about it before,
back when I didn't have this job.
And what has changed since then?
Now I have a job I like and enjoy and I'm not leaving it.
What are you suggesting?
I don't know.
Things have been cold lately between us and...
I don't know. Maybe we should see this trip...
as an opportunity
to give ourselves time.
The distance may help our relationship.
It's getting late.
Excuse me.
Are you crazy? What are you doing here?
I've been here since last night. I don't get it.
You've given me a clear job and now you won't let me do it!
What do you mean? I sent you a thousand messages!
Yes, I heard them.
So, what are we talking about? Go back to Ciudad Jiménez!
- I don't want you to do it anymore. - Hold on. Things are not that simple.
You came to me.
I invested my dough to deliver on my part of the deal,
and now you won't get away so easily.
No, I offered you money to do a job.
That job didn't need doing anymore, so I don't owe you a penny.
Oh, hold on. You work for the Garza family, right?
What's my name?
- Chisca Garza. - That's right.
Go back to Ciudad Jiménez.
You better not say a word about this.
Don't ever whistle at me!
Novotech is about to reveal a new eco-friendly tire,
a Russian invention.
They're about to have an event to find investors.
If our competitors are launching a new product, we'll be right there.
It's tomorrow in Miami. There will be a cocktail party
and a show the next day.
- What kind of demonstration? - A circuit with obstacles,
several drivers.
I don't have the details yet.
Get those details and two invitations for tomorrow's event, too.
Perfect, two invitations it is.
For now, here's all the information I've gathered about the tires.
I know that you like being prepared.
Excellent job, as always. Is there anything else?
Yes.
I've just broken up with César and I just wanted to let you know
I'm not looking for a serious relationship either.
Excuse me.
I don't get it! I mean,
I know a decision like that one can't be easy to make,
but why did you change your mind right at the last moment?
Look, Adri, it just wasn't the right time. Relax!
Why wasn't it the right time? It was perfect!
You'd think you're the one he raped.
- No, it's not about that! - Hey.
Look, back when I told you what I told you...
- I had a different point of view. - What other point of view?
I was just a kid, Adri!
I just...
I think I got obsessed...
with him, you know?
It was the first time, my first time.
And I must acknowledge I had flirted with him all night long.
What? Are you justifying his actions?
I'm not. I'm just saying that things are more complex than they seem.
I don't even know what to tell you. You sound like a different person.
I am a different person.
I used to be a kid, and now it's time to grow up.
I don't know. It's like you're under a spell.
I realize now that I saw things differently
and that now I have much more in common with him than I thought.
Are you falling in love with Valentín?
You're definitely crazy!
Why are you yelling at me? Let's see what's he doing.
Drop the long face, Adriana!
- You're crazy. - I'm not crazy.
CONNECTION ERROR
What's wrong?
Let me see. I don't know what's happening. Wait.
CONNECTION ERROR
It's not working.
Hey, thank you very much for helping me with this.
It was a good idea to bring it here. Flaco is the best I know.
I'm sure he'll be able to decrypt it.
I hope so. I've taken it to many experts, and none of them have managed to do it.
I'd love not to be pressured.
- Come with me. Leave him alone. - Hey, Miguel.
Look, I really have no idea what that drive may contain and...
Don't worry. My people can be trusted. They're loyal, I can assure you.
Guess what, my dudes? Ready Freddie.
Really?
You just had to leave it in Flaco's hands, pal.
And what's that?
Spreadsheets, tables, simple stuff. Shall I open it?
Yes, please.
Does this table mean anything to you?
No.
I can run a few algorithmic programs to look for patterns in this data.
The first column is initials of city names.
Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mexicali.
Almost all of them match, but these.
They're IATA codes.
Codes used by the International Air Transport Association
to differentiate each city.
For example, this one is León, BJX.
And the last one, Manzanillo, ZLO.
If you say so, dude.
I'm going to need more time to analyze the other two columns, though.
The second one seems to have names, but in the third there are numbers
and I have no idea what they mean.
Does this help you somehow?
Honestly, I don't even know what I'm looking for, but...
look, knowing that this column is for cities, I know how to proceed.
- Thank you, Flaco. - Any time, brother.
And how's Mr. José doing with the garden?
- Everything's fine, right? - Well, he did get scared.
And Mrs. Dora likes the garden to be well-groomed.
- I'll leave that to you. - Count on it, Peligros.
What are you doing here?
My partner here came to the city to complete some paperwork
and decided to come by and give me a sitrep of the ranch.
That's right. I came by to give Peligros a sitrep.
Oh, okay. Now that you're here, would you bring Dora some things for me?
- She asked me to send them to her. - Sure.
All right, then! See you later, partner.
- Later. - Take care.
- What are you doing here? - What do you mean?
Don't play dumb with me. We had an agreement.
Yeah, but sometimes people agree on something and then take it back.
You haven't given up. Are you for real?
Look, Ms. Chisca,
I know that you've reconsidered it, that you felt remorse.
But I've come here,
I've invested my money and I deserve some compensation, don't I?
How much do you want?
The job was half done, I deserve half the payment.
Ten thousand dollars. Do you want that for having done absolutely nothing?
- You're crazy. - Okay, you tell me how much, then.
You saw Peligros asking what I'm doing here and I don't like lying.
You don't want me to tell him anything.
Half.
I'll give you half.
Short reckonings make long friends.
No, I don't think so.
The Pachecos!
What's up, Chano?
I'm so glad to see you, Chano!
- How are you? - All good.
I just wanted to introduce you to Mr. Epigmenio Moncada
from Ciudad Jiménez.
Look, they're the Pacheco brothers, Nando and Emiliano.
MEXICAN DRUG DEALERS
Nice to meet you.
You, too.
Epigmenio Moncada.
You're the one who took over Enano's territories, right?
Yes, that's me.
Well done!
How bold!
Good job, friend!
We'd been wanting to get rid of him for a long time.
You did us a big favor.
Any time.
- And thanks a lot for having us here. - No, please! What do you want to drink?
What do you want? Some ice-cold beers, okay?
Yes, I'd drink one of those. Hey, princess!
Get a bucket with ice-cold beers, okay?
- Yes, sir. - Off you go.
Hey, since Enano is no longer among us, I wanted to bring Epigmenio before you.
That's a good point, Chano. What can we do for you?
Well, Chano has told me that you're the big fishes in this city.
Yes, that's right.
That's why I wanted to come by and introduce myself.
Since I'm planning to stay indefinitely, I'd like to make business peacefully.
- What? - No, leave her.
What the hell's wrong with you?
- Apologize to our guests. - I'm sorry, gentlemen.
Now go back to the bar and get a new bucket.
Yes, sir.
I'm going to take this out of your tips tonight!
So? What shall we do?
Shall we talk about Enano's territories? Shall we divide them?
- That's what we're here for, right? - Yeah.
Princess!
Get a bottle of whiskey, too, and don't forget about the beers! Hurry!
Now we're talking!
Cheers, friend!
Done. Piece of cake.
Those are the invitations, and I sent you all the details
about the demonstration.
Jimena, you're without a doubt the most capable person in this office.
That's why I need you to stay here supervising everything while I'm in Miami.
- What? I have to stay in Mexico? - Adela!
- Yes? - Get ready.
- Tomorrow morning we're off to Miami. - Yes, of course.
Cheers. To our new association.
To widening the business by producing our own goods.
I never imagined that some guy from Ciudad Jiménez
would come here and tell us how to widen our business.
That's because you had never met Epigmenio Moncada, man!
- Cheers to that, too! - Cheers!
Hey!
- What's up? - I need your help.
I was just checking our download speed.
Flaco, I don't care if you're watching porn.
Do you remember you had installed an espionage program in here?
I need you to fix it, it's not working anymore.
- How so? - It's not working anymore.
- The one of Valentín Soria. - That one.
Look, it didn't get blocked and it didn't stop working.
I blocked it.
Why?
You didn't tell me Valentín was Miguel's friend.
He's a friend of the family!
- He's a friend of mine, too. - I believe you.
Miguel told me not to install that program and spy on anybody he doesn't tell me to.
Gosh, what does Miguel tell you to get you to act like this?
Like lapdogs.
He doesn't tell me anything. He's paying me a fortune.
If he paid you a fortune to jump off a bridge, you'd do it.
It depends on the bridge and on the sum.
Oh, my babies!
I didn't leave her alone, so you may relax.
I thought Chisca wouldn't come home,
and at least I know she's safe as long as she's with you.
- I noticed she was sensitive yesterday. - Really?
Yes, I don't know. Like she was vulnerable.
Don't laugh at me, okay? But...
I feel like I want to protect her. I don't know.
I don't want anybody to hurt her.
Is it me or are you falling in love?
I guess you know me well.
Better than anyone.
I have to go to Miami for business, may I ask you a favor?
Anything.
Stay by her side.
Count on it.
How's the business going? Anything I can help you with?
I'll let you know if I need your help.
In the meantime, organize that meeting with your Italian friends.
Great, right. Consider it done.
Miguel Garza is in Miami.
- Since when? - He's arrived at about 10:00,
according to my contacts in ICE, and he's not alone.
We have to follow his every move.
I'll go wherever he goes.
Yes, sir.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
So, cities and money.
Extortions or what?
I don't know.
Right now nearly everything seems possible, Claudia.
Yes.
Look, if this money is illegal,
the question should be whether Natalia
was making these payments independently, meaning she was working on her own,
or if she made this working with Carlos.
What do you think?
You're right.
I'm picturing myself on the beach!
Do you like sunbathing?
No way! I like jumping straight onto a jet ski.
I'd love to see your abilities in the water, but I have work to do.
- And I think I'm going to need you. - All right.
You know what? I'm going to my room, okay?
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Is everything okay? How was your flight?
Yes, everything's all right.
Very well. We'll be in touch.
Everything is prepared, just as you wanted.
Excellent.
And now that the work part is done, how about the pleasure?
Karina, that will have to wait. We still have important things to do.
Okay.
Hey, you know what?
I think it's time to change my black satchel.
- Hold on. - We're going to need a dress.
- This one is so cool! - A dress!
But I like this satchel!
- Don't start now. - I always carry many things.
- The car keys. I carry many things. - We have to go to a party.
Okay, all right.
This one! How would I look in this?
- It matches your eyes. Yes. - And the shoes! I love this outfit.
It's very pretty, but it's for the beach.
We have to attend a more formal event, okay? It has to be more elegant.
- Let's keep looking. - Fine.
- No way! - This is a nice brand.
This looks like mom stuff. I don't like it.
- For older people? - What's that black bag?
No, I don't like it, Miguel.
- But don't you want to come in? - Look! This store is really nice!
Yes, but the door is over there, around there.
What do you think? More colorful, right?
Yes. I like this.
I mean, I'll get heat stroke in that, don't you think?
Let's go. You have to choose.
No, hold on! It could be that it's cool, too.
A skirt, something shorter.
I like it.
- Are you happy? - I love it!
Hold on. Let me see.
What do you think?
- It's awesome! - Yes?
- It matches, right? - Yes!
We'll take it.
What? No way, dude! This is more expensive than my house.
- I'd be crazy if I... - You're exaggerating.
This is for business, we have to look good.
We'll take it.
I hope you're not thinking you're winning me over
with this, Mr. Garza.
I'd never buy you with material things.
Maybe you've won me over with that phrase.
Let's go.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Silvia Guzmán Pico? No, I don't know her.
- Are you sure, Arturo? - I don't know.
I don't know.
Did Natalia mention her name at some point?
Especially when she was talking about her job or...
Did any of her friends mention her name?
What does this have to do with the investigation for your articles?
When will you publish them?
Soon, very soon.
I think that I'd need to talk to Naty's friend to finish up the text.
With Juana?
Yes, with Juana.
I think it'd be nice to have the point of view of somebody
who had had contact with Natalia every day, but outside the family context.
Yes, sure.
I'll see if I can get in touch with her so that you interview her, okay?
Okay, very good, perfect.
What do you usually do at home when Miguel is out?
Miguel's never here.
All right.
So, this place is always this boring, right?
Yes, I agree. But nobody listens to me around here.
It's a good thing Miguel's not here.
Because if he's not here, I guess you're in charge.
You're right.
Perfect!
All employees may take the evening off!
What are you talking about?
Let's take advantage of this opportunity! Let's do something fun, I don't know.
How about a party?
What do you think?
Music...
alcohol,
sex,
pills,
more sex.
Miguel would kill me.
Come on, Chisca! Miguel's not here.
Make sure there's nobody home this evening.
I'll take care of the fun.
You love getting me into trouble, don't you?
I really like you, Chisca.
You make me do things I'd never do with anybody else.
So, you want a party?
Well, nobody throws better parties than I do.
Did you bring the invitation?
Here it is, the invitation for the Novotech party.
And the pen?
Here it is, too.
But I don't think it's a good idea.
Nobody will notice, don't worry.
I wouldn't be so sure.
You're not even sure of what day today is, Jeremías.
I'll be ready.
May the hunt begin.
Relax. You look good.
That's the magic of a dress
and a really expensive necklace from Paris.
Hold onto me.
Oh, dear, my grandma would be so astounded if she saw me like this!
And I am, too.
Hey, what's the deal with the party?
What do I have to say? How do I behave?
Speak little, hear a lot.
Damn. I'm getting really nervous, Miguel.
Relax. This is easy, okay?
Don't eat anything unfamiliar or get drunk, don't trust strangers.
Yes. This is worse than catechism class.
This is not a party, but a work event.
- You'll be fine. Relax. - Okay.
Oh, I was wondering where this vamp was.
Will you look at this?
I wasn't expecting to see you two together.
Neither were we.
Who would've thought? A Japanese, a Russian and a Mexican.
This is like a joke!
I admire your sense of humor in these circumstances.
You got what I asked for?
Of course.
Here it is. I hope you don't have any mishaps.
- Everything has been planned. - Okay.
The Russians have already been informed
and I hope everything works out as we agreed.
Thank you.
Don't thank me. If this works out fine, all members will profit from it.
I wouldn't have chosen a dress of that color for this party.
We'll never know because you're not invited.
Okay!
But I must admit that only you could look so good in it.
Thank you.
Good luck, you two. See you later.
This little princess is a good person, deep within.
When were you going to tell me that this was an automotive event?
No, it's not an automotive event.
It's the presentation of some eco-friendly tires.
Look, Miguel. I know that tires can have some eco-friendly stuff.
But from that to a 100%-efficient eco-friendly tire?
No way, man! I doubt it. I'd have to see it with my own eyes.
That's what we're all here for.
In car racing there's a new world-class category for,
you know, all the latest electric cars.
I'm certain that any former F1 driver would be very interested in...
God.
Did you see who that is?
He's Dieter Schwarz! The German driver! The super-hot one, Miguel!
Adela, the more discreet you are, the better.
No, please. Okay, you don't understand.
This man is about to win his fourth World Cup this year
and he's right there, two steps away from me.
I can't believe it!
And did you see who he's with?
That one, the one beside him. He's Emilio Oviedo, the Spaniard.
He ran last year's Indy 500, but he didn't manage to win.
I'm so excited!
I knew you'd enjoy this.
At this point, I don't know if being here is pleasure or torture.
I'll be right back.
Those were all the options.
Miguel!
You're always at the best events, huh?
Always.
There she is, Paula Sandoval.
The owner of Novotech.
Gorgeous, and a widow.
Music to your ears.
Come.
Paula, allow me to introduce you to Miguel Garza, financier.
I know perfectly well who you are, Miguel Garza.
Pleasure to meet you.
Before you continue, don't you dare call me Mrs.
No way. I'm glad to be here.
My right-hand man, Isael Ramos.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
Go ahead.
I'm very lucky to have you among my guests.
Rumor has it you come from Japan and you're a very active investor
with a big client portfolio.
I had been told you're brilliant and insightful,
but I'd say that you're very beautiful as well.
I'm flattered.
But I'm more flattered by knowing you're interested in Novotech.
I'd like my clients to invest in your company.
I suppose they all will.
Engineer Vladimir Arcov is coming tomorrow from Moscow.
Did you know that our eco-friendly tires are almost as perfect as
a mathematical equation?
That's why your brand name is PI!
A piece of advice. Stay close to me throughout the evening.
I may give you some inside information.
I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Very well.
- Is she your wife? - No, she's my assistant.
This is a perfect evening.
Yes, I know.
You have us all at your mercy.
I'm interested in some more than others.
The market is craving an innovative product such as yours.
Is that your technique to make me talk?
You're a bad boy.
Let me introduce you to some of the engineers
in charge on this project.
Could you give me a second to make a call?
A call is more important than knowing more about Novotech?
It's a call to my Japanese clients, so that they invest in your company.
Go ahead.
I'll be watching you, Miguel Garza.
- Is everything all right? - Yes.
I'm just rubbing elbows with people from the FIA
while not being able to talk with them.
I have to go.
What? Where?
I'll be right back.
Nobody can know I left the party, especially Paula.
What should I tell them?
Convince them that I'm here, somewhere.
What if they realize you're not here?
- You can do it. I have to go. - Miguel!
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
I'm like this...
Turn that song down, please.
Here.
What was that?
What?
- You didn't hear that? - No.
- Are you sure there's nobody home? - No.
Rosario has already left and...
who else has left?
Peligros has left, and just my brother's here, Jorge.
Jorge. He could tell Miguel. I don't want any trouble.
No, he won't tell anyone! He just does whatever I tell him to do.
Sure, whatever you tell him to do. Why are you so sure?
- I'm totally sure. - Why?
Totally sure.
Because Jorge was left a little bit disturbed after that accident
with our parents, just a little cuckoo.
- Cuckoo? - Cuckoo.
Come here.
Not so many at once!
DENIED
Did you know that our eco-friendly tires are almost as perfect
as a mathematical equation?
That's why your brand name is PI!
CORRECT
- What could that be? - Let's go.
- You look so yummy. - Thank you.
No! No! No!
Hey! That's not a good idea.
No!
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Hey! I've been looking for Miguel for a while now. Where is he?
- Good evening. Miguel's on the beach. - No, I'm coming from the beach.
No, you see, I saw him heading in that direction just now.
- Isael! - Ma'am?
Have you seen Miguel Garza?
No, ma'am, but I can look for him if you want.
- Please do. - Sorry, I must insist.
- Miguel... - Were you looking for me?
- I thought I had lost you. - Not at all.
I was busy making come business calls we'll both profit from.
Come on, business is not the only thing in life.
Come, tell me, what were you doing?
- A drink? - Oh, yes. Thank you very much.
Bored?
I thought this was a party!
It's too exclusive, is it not?
So much money, yet not even a DJ was hired.
Not even a DJ!
But I did see a band back there. Did you see them?
- Really? Where? - Back there.
No! It was just a joke!
Oh, you better not start making jokes around me.
You don't know me.
Nice to meet you, then. Your name is?
Let's say I'd rather keep it a mystery.
Very cool! A mysterious girl trying to stay anonymous.
I like it.
Okay, I'll leave you alone, Ms. Mystery.
I wish you a short night and a long rest.
- All right. Thank you. - Excuse me.
So? How did the business stuff go?
- Did everything work out fine? - It went very well.
We've achieved our goal tonight.
I don't want to bore you with it.
What? Please!
Anything about tires would be the most important thing
in the world for me.
Come on, Miguel. What exactly is it that you do?
Do you really want to know,
even if it's not as legal as you may want it to be?
Do you trust me?
I trust in just a few people.
You are one of them.
Why?
My instinct tells me to.
I'll make Novotech's demonstration fail tomorrow.
- Is that what you really want? - Yes.
And for that I need your...
If you want to know me so much, let's meet at 10:00 a.m.
in the hotel lobby.
Chisca!
Chisca?
Hey, Chisca.
Hey!
Chisca!
Do you hear me?
