00:00Don't worry, Ceciliel. I've got it all planned out.
00:04What's up, guys?
00:08How's it going?
00:10Very well.
00:11In fact, I think tonight is going to be a great night.
00:14Lots of bets.
00:15Is that why you look like that?
00:17That's something you don't care about.
00:20Relax, kid.
00:24Hey, how's it going with your business?
00:27I'm not complaining, to be honest.
00:29More and more guys are looking for me.
00:31What do you sell?
00:35Everything. Moe's, Perico, M.
00:37Everything that makes you feel good.
00:39What if it makes you feel good?
00:41What?
00:44Have you never tried anything?
00:46Not really.
00:47Let's see, kid.
00:50It's time for you to try it.
00:52Look.
00:53I invite you to see that I am your father.
00:56Enjoy it.
00:57Are you ready to play?
01:02Did you see what time it is?
01:04Where were you?
01:05Oh, please, Mom.
01:07Don't start with your things. I'm very tired.
01:09No, they're not my things, son.
01:10Understand that I care about you.
01:12Don't worry about me.
01:14Be sure that I know how to take care of myself.
01:16Yes, but that doesn't mean that you have to worry about me.
01:19Be sure that I know how to take care of myself.
01:21Yes, but that doesn't mean that you have to expose yourself to other dangers.
01:24And don't tell me that you're invincible because of the father you have,
01:27because that's not true.
01:28Well, even if you don't want to believe it, it's true.
01:30Nobody can touch me.
01:32Come on, man.
01:34Why are you arguing?
01:36Did you see the time your son is coming?
01:38It's almost four in the morning.
01:39You should let him rest.
01:41Poor thing, he's going to come dressed.
01:43What happened, son?
01:44How are things?
01:45Very good.
01:46Yes, Dad, very good.
01:47Look at everything we got.
01:49Are you encouraging your son to keep betting?
01:52They are businesses, woman.
01:54Businesses that feed you.
01:56No, no, you always come up with the same thing.
01:58And I stay quiet as a fool.
02:00But Flavio, you have already exceeded the limits.
02:03Only you can think of getting your son into your dirty business.
02:06You know what?
02:07I'm very tired to listen to the discos.
02:10See you there.
02:11No, son, don't leave me alone, son.
02:13No, Flavio, no, no, don't make fun of yourself.
02:15I didn't think your ambition would go so far.
02:18But you really went too far.
02:20What's wrong with you?
02:21What's wrong with you?
02:22Nothing's wrong with me.
02:24I'm teaching our son how he should have been in this life.
02:28Doing things wrong.
02:29Abusing the power you have.
02:32If you have a good position, why don't you take advantage of it?
02:34Everyone does it, right?
02:38And instead of isolating your son's bad behavior,
02:41you should pressure him to study and prepare.
02:43It's not possible that he didn't finish high school.
02:46You don't let me count.
02:47Your son is right, damn it.
02:49Son of a bitch.
02:50You're going crazy.
03:02What should I do, my mother?
03:05What?
03:09You know that for many years I have been a mute witness
03:11to the corruption that my husband exercised.
03:15But I can't rest easy
03:16when I see that Flavio's corruption has reached our son.
03:22That's why I ask you, my mother,
03:25to help us.
03:28Let Flavio understand that he's being a bad influence for that man.
03:33Because
03:35children are the reflection of our heart.
03:42I'm sorry.
03:56Don't you hear me, Gonzalo?
03:58How much money does this guy owe you?
04:00He bet $5,000.
04:01We have to pay him everything.
04:02No, no, no.
04:03They don't want to see my face.
04:05I bet $50,000 and I want my money.
04:07Let's see, let's see, let's see.
04:09My friend is telling me that what you owe is $5,000.
04:12I told you not to worry,
04:13that everything was going to be solved.
04:15But you shouldn't have called the ambulance to make so much noise.
04:19There's no way I'd let Gonzalo die, Dad.
04:21Of course not.
04:22That would be a bigger problem.
04:24But you should have taken him to the hospital.
04:26Luckily, there won't be any more problems.
04:29And now what's going to happen to him?
04:31That's not our business anymore.
04:34How can it not be, Dad?
04:35If Gonzalo is my friend.
04:36Dad, they're the ones who are going to see what they're doing to him.
04:39Well, if Gonzalo is in the hospital,
04:41it's because of the crap the cobra sold him.
04:43You should stop him.
04:44I can't do it.
04:46You know we have business with him
04:48and we don't want him to be in jail.
04:50But my friend is dying, Dad.
04:52Understand?
04:53That's not our problem anymore.
04:59You're washing your hands of what happened to him, Gonzalo.
05:02Tell him whatever you want.
05:03If you don't start, you're like your mother.
05:06You knew this business had its risks.
05:09Now, now hold on to me, son.
05:12Be a man.
05:13Come on.
05:14Calm down.
05:20Why would it have been his parents too?
05:23Hey, we found out what happened to Gonzalo.
05:25Do you know how he is?
05:27All I know is that he's still in the hospital.
05:29His parents won't let me see him.
05:31We should try to see him.
05:33Maybe he'll tell us how he is.
05:34Tell us what happened.
05:36If Gonzalo is in the hospital,
05:38it's my fault.
05:40You have to help me, Angelica.
05:42You told me to come to you if I wanted to change.
05:45And I want to do it.
05:47But I don't know how.
05:49Please help me.
05:57Because I was involved in the races with Cristinas,
05:59I never realized that the cobra was selling him
06:01his junk to Gonzalo.
06:03That's why now it's my fault that he's in the hospital.
06:05No, don't blame yourself.
06:07Gonzalo knew what he was doing.
06:09They've already told us about drugs at school
06:11and well,
06:13apparently he got curious.
06:15Yes, but if I hadn't pulled him into this,
06:17he wouldn't have gotten into drugs.
06:20I don't know what to do.
06:23How do I prevent other kids
06:25from going to the hospital
06:27for consuming those junk?
06:28Well, if you want, I can talk to my dad.
06:30He's a police officer
06:32and maybe he can stop that guy.
06:34No, no, please, Angelica, don't do it.
06:36You know that my dad is the chief of the police
06:38and also the one who protects the cobra.
06:41I don't want your dad or my dad to get hurt.
06:44Well, but if we don't do something,
06:46that guy will keep poisoning the kids.
06:48And it's not fair that we keep quiet.
06:50Yes, yes, I know.
06:52That's why I have to find a way
06:54to stop Gonzalo.
06:55Or at least keep him away
06:57so that then your dad can act.
07:01Oh, how beautiful your house is.
07:03Thank you very much.
07:05It's your house.
07:07You are welcome whenever you want.
07:09Thank you for inviting me.
07:11Good afternoon, ladies.
07:13Good afternoon, Mr. Flavio.
07:15We were waiting for you to talk to you.
07:17About what?
07:19Well, look,
07:21we are from the perpetual candle committee
07:23and the eternal help.
07:25As you may know,
07:27we are organizing the crossroads
07:29of our Lord Jesus Christ.
07:31So we came to ask you for two favors.
07:33If you can help us with the process
07:35to close the street
07:37where our procession will pass.
07:39Oh, ma'am, no, I don't know if I can do that.
07:41You see, people get upset,
07:43then what they ask for is not so easy.
07:46There are expenses to cover
07:48and at this time you already know
07:50how things are.
07:52There is no budget in the delegation.
07:53So, well,
07:55I really don't know how I can help you.
07:57But you are the head of the police
07:59and you can give the necessary instructions
08:01so that we can make our representation
08:03without any problem.
08:05In addition, we want to ask you
08:07to play the role of Poncio Pilatos.
08:09Why?
08:11Why, Mr. Flavio?
08:13He and you are figures of power.
08:15He comes to you as a ring on the finger.
08:17No one will better represent you
08:19with more dignity.
08:21Ladies,
08:23don't be rude.
08:25If so,
08:27count on all my support.
08:29You will be able to do your procession
08:31without anyone bothering you.
08:33We knew we could count on you
08:35and we won't take up your time anymore.
08:37We will do what you have to say.
08:39God bless you.
08:41Excuse me.
08:43Come in.
08:45Bye.
08:48It's amazing, Flavio.
08:50You even took advantage of this?
08:51Or do you think I didn't notice
08:53that you tried to ask them for money?
08:55Don't start with your nonsense.
08:57I've already told you.
08:59Don't you like the way I am?
09:01Leave me alone.
09:03That's what you should have done a long time ago.
09:05But now I won't leave you for our son
09:07because I won't leave him with you
09:09so that you continue to be a bad influence for him.
09:15And look,
09:17they gave you the character you deserve
09:18because you always wash your hands
09:20and let yourself be guided by your corruption.
09:30I will be
09:33Ponce Pilatos.
09:41What are you doing here?
09:43After what happened,
09:45you won't sell your crap here again.
09:46You can't run from me like that.
09:48This ends when I decide.
09:52We are the ones who make the decisions.
09:54So get out of here
09:56if you don't want my dad to put you behind bars.
09:59Don't think this is going to stay that way.
10:01I swear they're going to pay me.
10:03Let's go.
10:16Honey,
10:18I'm begging you,
10:20please don't go to those races today.
10:22Look,
10:24after what happened to your friend,
10:26I can't be calm.
10:28Don't worry, Mom.
10:30I'll be fine.
10:32Besides,
10:34today is going to be the last time you go to those races.
10:36Are you serious?
10:38Yes.
10:40I never wanted to listen to you,
10:42but I always had to.
10:46I'm sorry.
11:16I'm sorry.
11:46I'm sorry.
12:17I'm sorry.
12:19I'm sorry.
12:21I'm sorry.
12:23I'm sorry.
12:25I'm sorry.
12:27I'm sorry.
12:29I'm sorry.
12:30I'm sorry.
12:32I'm sorry.
12:34I'm sorry.
12:36I'm sorry.
12:38I'm sorry.
12:40I'm sorry.
12:42I'm sorry.
12:44I'm sorry.
12:46I'm sorry.
12:48I wasn't going to bring anything good.
12:51I felt very safe,
12:53but
12:55I never thought about the people I love.
12:58You know how nice it is to hear you say that.
13:02I'm just asking you not to tell my dad anything, Mom.
13:05I want to tell him
13:07until he comes back.
13:09Okay, son.
13:10I'll be with you to make him understand that it's for the best.
13:19You're...
13:21You're very good to me, Mom.
13:24You've always been with me,
13:26even though I was keeping you away.
13:29Never forget that I love you very much.
13:35I love you, Mom.
13:42Ezequiel!
13:48What are you doing here?
13:50I told you
13:51you couldn't keep selling your crap.
13:54I'm not here to sell anything.
13:57I just want to settle accounts.
14:19What?
14:21This can't be.
14:22Take her to the best hospital.
14:23Come here.
14:25What happened?
14:26Not now, woman.
14:29What happened?
14:30Nothing.
14:31What do you mean nothing?
14:32Tell me what happened.
14:34It's about our son, right?
14:36Yes.
14:38They called to tell me
14:39that he was shot in the race.
14:44No, it's not true.
14:46Tell me it's not true, Flavio.
14:47Tell me it's not true, Flavio.
14:49Yes, I swear
14:50the person who did it
14:52will pay for it.
14:53I swear.
14:54But you're the only one to blame
14:55for what happened.
14:56You have to pay.
14:59You've always been a corrupt man.
15:01You've always washed your hands
15:02with your corruption.
15:04And now
15:05you're going to wash them
15:06with the blood of your own son.
15:09You're the only one to blame
15:11for what's happening to my son.
15:17No, my son.
15:19Don't leave me, my love.
15:20No, no, no.
15:24Oh, my love.
15:25No, my love.
15:26My love, my love.
15:33Forgive me, my son.
15:36Forgive me for everything I did to you.
15:40For being a bad influence on you.
15:44My son, you don't have to pay
15:45for my mistakes.
15:47I'm going for your life, my son.
15:49You have to save yourself, my son.
15:51Kill me.
15:52Kill me.
15:55I hope so, Flavio.
15:58Because I don't know how you're going to
15:59calm your conscience
16:01if our son dies.
16:17Don't move.
16:30Brazo!
16:33Traitor!
16:36Traitor!
16:39Traitor.
16:47You made a big mistake, Eustaquio.
16:50You're not going to finish it.
16:52Take him away.
16:53Let's go!
16:55Let's go!
16:56You're the one who's not going to finish it.
16:59Don't forget that we've been accomplices for a long time.
17:03Never forget it.
17:05Get rid of this clown.
17:07Don't forget that we've been accomplices for a long time.
17:11Never forget it.
17:13Get rid of this clown.
17:15Get rid of this clown.
17:35How is he?
17:37He's stable.
17:38That's why they moved him to intermediate therapy.
17:46Mom.
17:47I'm here, honey.
17:48I'm here.
17:50Don't worry, champ.
17:51Everything's going to be okay.
17:54Dad.
17:56It was Cobra.
17:58It was him who saved me.
18:00Don't worry, son.
18:01I took care of him.
18:04You...
18:05You just worry about recovering.
18:09That's all that matters.
18:12I never should've asked you to be a part of my business.
18:17But what do you want?
18:20Because of my ambition, I was a bad example for you.
18:24That's why I'm begging you, son.
18:26Forgive me.
18:28But above all, don't follow my example.
18:32Don't do my stupidity.
18:34You deserve a better life, champ.
18:38Don't do my stupidity.
18:39You deserve a better life, champ.
19:02I have nothing to forgive you for, Dad.
19:06I let my ambition get the best of me.
19:13I'm sorry.
19:14I know this isn't a good time.
19:16But you have to come with me.
19:18There are charges against you for bribery, abuse of authority, and illicit enrichment.
19:24Okay, fine.
19:26Give me a moment, okay?
19:32Listen, son.
19:35Promise me you'll change.
19:38Promise me you'll be a better person than me, champ.
19:44Be a better person, son.
19:50I love you, son.
19:54Forgive me, son.
20:05Forgive me.
20:18What are we going to do with my dad?
20:23I don't know, honey.
20:25But I promise you we won't leave him alone.
20:29Somehow we're all responsible for what's happening, right?
