00:09Congratulations, my love.
00:11You have no idea how proud I am of you.
00:13Well, yes. You're my mom.
00:19Not just because of that.
00:21You finished high school with excellent grades
00:25and you were the best average of your generation!
00:30I'm sure it's your grandmother.
00:35I'm glad you're here, ma'am. We were waiting for you.
00:38That means you're ready to go.
00:41To go where?
00:43What a question.
00:44To celebrate that you finished high school with honors.
00:48But my mom made a special meal.
00:51And it's fine.
00:52But to be the best average of the generation,
00:55you have to celebrate in a special way.
00:58That's why I made a reservation at a good restaurant.
01:01Oh, Grandma, you should've told us.
01:04That way my mom wouldn't work too much.
01:06It wasn't too much.
01:07Because you can eat that food later.
01:10And let's stop talking nonsense.
01:13Are we going to miss the reservation?
01:15It's fine, my love.
01:17I'll put the food away and go get my bag.
01:29I'm home, Grandma.
01:31I'm so glad.
01:33I was admiring your father's painting while you were here.
01:37I'm painting a Virgin of Guadalupe now.
01:39I can show it to you whenever you want.
01:41Maybe later.
01:42Now I want to tell you about the surprise I have for you.
01:48Look.
01:49Everything is ready for you to go to this university
01:53to study medicine.
01:57But Grandma, I don't want to be a doctor.
02:00I want to dedicate myself to painting.
02:02And you can keep doing it, but as a hobby.
02:05Your future is to follow in your father's footsteps
02:08and be a great doctor.
02:11But Grandma...
02:12Listen to me carefully.
02:14I know what's best for you, as I always knew with Gustavo.
02:18Your father had a great future as a doctor.
02:21But unfortunately, he had that accident that took his life.
02:26That's why you have to follow in his footsteps.
02:29You'll go to college and then I'll send you abroad
02:32to study a master's degree.
02:34Leave your future in my hands, Raul.
02:37You'll see that I'll take you far.
02:39I have great plans for you.
02:42The same plans I couldn't achieve with your father.
02:52I'm back, son.
03:00The painting of the Virgin is so beautiful.
03:03I want you to finish it so I can hang it in the living room.
03:07You'll have to wait a little longer, Mom.
03:10I haven't made much progress.
03:13I'm sorry, son.
03:16You'll have to wait a little longer, Mom.
03:18I haven't made much progress.
03:21Are you okay?
03:23No.
03:25Grandma enrolled me in a university and wants me to study medicine.
03:29What if you get the chance to study a career, Raul?
03:32But Mom, I want to be a painter.
03:34And you do it wonderfully, my love.
03:37But how can you know you don't like the career if you don't know it?
03:41Maybe you have it in your genes.
03:43You know your father and I have something to do with medicine.
03:46I'm not sure, Mom.
03:48What if you study for a semester?
03:50And if you suddenly feel like it's not for you, you leave it.
03:54But if I leave the medicine career, my grandmother won't support me
03:57so I can study fine arts and become a painter.
04:00Don't worry about that.
04:02I'll find a way to support you.
04:05What interests me is that you are well,
04:08but that you also have the opportunity to open new horizons.
04:14Okay.
04:16I'm going to study the career that Grandma wants.
04:33Can I borrow your computer?
04:35I left mine in the living room.
04:37It will be fast.
04:39Of course.
04:57They don't know what to make up anymore.
05:00Done. Thank you very much.
05:02You're welcome.
05:06Hey, I hadn't seen you before.
05:08Don't tell me you spend your time here.
05:10No, it's my first semester of medicine.
05:13I'm also new at the university.
05:15I hadn't seen you before.
05:17I couldn't forget someone as handsome as you.
05:23We can't talk here.
05:25I'll leave you my cell phone so you can buy me a coffee
05:28and we can get to know each other better.
05:34Bye.
05:36Please, Grandma.
05:37Give me a raise.
05:38Now that I have a girlfriend, I can't afford it.
05:40You have a girlfriend?
05:41Why didn't you tell me?
05:43Who is she?
05:45Her name is Renata Baltierra.
05:47She studies graphic design.
05:49Baltierra.
05:50That last name sounds familiar.
05:52Of course, it must be the Baltierras,
05:55the owners of the architects' office.
05:58I guess so.
06:00That being the case, things are very different.
06:02If you end up marrying her in the future,
06:05it would be a very convenient marriage.
06:07Well, Grandma, it's a little too soon to talk about marriage,
06:10isn't it?
06:11I know, but you always have to look to the future.
06:15All right, I'll give you a raise every month.
06:25That's what I needed.
06:28I also need a raise.
06:31I also needed to distract myself.
06:33Especially if it's with you.
06:35And you, who spend it at the library.
06:37But you'll see that today we're going to have a lot more fun.
06:40Come.
06:43Hi, Fabricio.
06:44I'm glad you're here.
06:46Excuse me, yes?
06:49He's in charge of getting us all out.
06:51And he gets you whatever you want.
06:53Of course, everything of very good quality to fly safe.
06:56So you sell drugs?
06:57Don't tell me you're scared.
06:59No, no, how do you think?
07:01What happens is that I've never done it before.
07:04Well, you're going to debut with me.
07:06You'll see that we're going to have a lot of fun.
07:09And when we're flying,
07:11you'll feel like you're in heaven when we're together.
07:15So what are you going to want?
07:17Yes, yes, give us what you always give her.
07:20Where are you going?
07:21I'll go with you.
07:29No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:56I can't.
07:59I can't concentrate.
08:01And tomorrow there's an exam.
08:29I'm sorry.
08:37I'll call you later.
08:59I'll call you later.
09:15Please don't be what I'm thinking.
09:25Hi, Mom.
09:26I'm glad you're here.
09:28Because we need to talk about this.
09:33Were you checking my things?
09:35No.
09:36I went in to pick up the dirty clothes.
09:38But that's not the point, Raul.
09:40I want you to give me an explanation.
09:42It's a medicine.
09:44A teacher gave it to us.
09:48Son, be honest with me.
09:52Are you consuming drugs?
09:55Of course not.
09:57It's from a friend.
09:58He gave it to me to keep and I didn't give it back.
10:00It's obvious that you're lying.
10:03Please let me help you.
10:06I don't need help at all.
10:08I'm fine.
10:09You're imagining things.
10:12Look, you clearly don't believe me,
10:13so there's no point in arguing.
10:16MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
10:21I left indications for the anxiolytic
10:23to be given to the patient in room 306.
10:25He's very worried about his next surgery.
10:28Okay, Doctor.
10:29I'm glad you told me because you know I have to be very careful
10:31with those controlled drugs.
10:33I know.
10:34That's why I left very precise doses
10:36to avoid any dependence.
10:38Excuse me, Doctor.
10:40I'm sorry to bother you.
10:41But I have a problem and I would like to know
10:44if you can guide me as a psychiatrist.
10:46What is it about?
10:48My son.
10:50I'm almost sure he's an addict
10:51and I would like to help him to stop his addictions.
10:58The hospital's psychiatrist offered to help us.
11:01I already told you I don't need help.
11:04You know you can't fool me, Raul.
11:07Please, don't destroy your life for nothing.
11:11Promise me you'll check these brochures.
11:15They're information about some places where you can get help.
11:19I'm going to see them even if I don't need them.
11:21Maybe that way you'll calm down.
11:31Take that face off.
11:32It shocks me when you get like this.
11:34Sorry, but I didn't do well on the exam.
11:37I didn't fail, but I barely passed.
11:39Is that why you have that face?
11:41Don't be stubborn.
11:42Let's celebrate that you passed.
11:45I don't know if I can do it right now.
11:47I don't have a lot of money.
11:48You have to be able to do it.
11:50I didn't become your girlfriend to be boring.
11:53Besides, you know that when we're partying,
11:56I get more attached to you.
11:58Don't tell me you don't like it.
12:00I don't like it.
12:02I love it.
12:03Then you know what you have to do
12:05if you want me to continue being yours.
12:07Whenever you make me happy at the party,
12:09you're going to have a happy ending.
12:15Please, Grandma.
12:16Give me the money I'm asking for.
12:18But I just deposited it at the beginning of the week.
12:21You can't be coming to me every time you need money.
12:25Well, Grandma,
12:26it was you who wanted me to study at that expensive university.
12:29Fine.
12:30I'm going to transfer the amount you ask for.
12:33And when I see your grades,
12:35don't forget the deal we have.
12:37You can't go down the middle.
12:39Soon.
12:40I just need some teachers to grade my bimestral work,
12:43and that's it.
12:51Did you think you could fool me?
12:53Well, you're very wrong.
12:55Weeks ago, the grades were handed in,
12:57and you didn't give them to me.
12:59It happened to me.
13:00Rather, you didn't want me to see them,
13:02because you did very badly.
13:03I'm sorry, Grandma.
13:04I promise I'll work harder.
13:06You'd better.
13:07In the meantime, forget about the extra money I'm giving you.
13:10You won't see another peso.
13:15But, Grandma,
13:16I need that money.
13:18Remember, I have a girlfriend.
13:20And apparently, she's a distraction for you.
13:23It's best if you break up with that girl
13:25so you can focus on your studies.
13:28What do you mean we can't party anymore?
13:30It's just that my grandmother punished me
13:32for lowering my grades,
13:33so you're going to have to support me
13:35in convincing her to give me money again.
13:37Have you gone mad?
13:38I'm not going to support anyone.
13:40I don't have losers.
13:41So forget about me,
13:42because I never want to see you again.
13:58I don't have losers.
14:00So forget about me,
14:01because I never want to see you again.
14:28I just came to tell you that I'm back.
14:30Did you finish the painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe?
14:33No.
14:35I started another one.
14:36Can I see it?
14:37No.
14:38No.
14:39I haven't finished it.
14:40Okay, Raul.
14:43How about I invite you to dinner?
14:45We can go wherever you want.
14:47I'm not hungry.
14:48I'm going to bed.
14:49I'm not hungry.
14:50I'm going to bed.
14:51I'm not hungry.
14:52I'm not hungry.
14:53I'm not hungry.
14:54I'm not hungry.
14:55I'm not hungry.
14:56I'm not hungry.
14:57I'm not hungry.
15:03I did it, son.
15:06I made you trust me again.
15:10You have to trust me, Fabrizio.
15:12I swear I'll pay you.
15:13You always tell me that,
15:14but you haven't given me a single dime.
15:16You have to pay me, Raul.
15:18I'm going to get that money.
15:19I'll do what you want.
15:20Just help me.
15:21Are you sure?
15:22Yes, whatever you want.
15:24Okay.
15:25You're going to sell it to me at the university.
15:27Who cares? It's a good business for you.
15:29Yes, yes, yes, yes. Whatever you want.
15:31But give me a check, please.
15:39But I'm warning you, Raul.
15:40You can't play with me.
15:42If you want to see my face,
15:43I swear you'll pay with your life.
15:55♪♪♪
16:25Mom, please. Mom!
16:27This has to stop!
16:29Please! Mom, no!
16:31I'm begging you! Mom!
16:33Mom!
16:35Mom!
16:36Mom!
16:42No, no, no, no.
16:48What did you do?
16:51Mom, they're going to kill me!
16:54I'm a dead man, Mom!
16:56I'm dead!
17:05I've tried to be patient, but it's been useless.
17:08That's why I have to be more firm with you.
17:11Don't you get it?
17:12You just condemned me!
17:14All I'm trying to do is help you
17:16so you can leave that damn addiction that's only drowning you.
17:20You only gave me more!
17:22That's what you're thinking right now,
17:24but I'm already helping you.
17:26Please realize that.
17:28Get out.
17:29Please, son. We have to keep talking.
17:32I said get out!
17:34Fine.
17:36I'll let you calm down,
17:38but we haven't finished talking yet.
17:47What am I going to do?
17:53What have I done?
18:05What are you doing?
18:09Grandma.
18:10Are you stealing?
18:12Grandma, I'm only doing this because I need money.
18:16Well, you'll never see another peso from me, you smuggler.
18:19And return everything to my jewelry store
18:21because you're not taking anything from here.
18:28Everything.
18:38You probably taught your son those bad tricks.
18:41Of course not, ma'am.
18:43I'm an honest woman.
18:45So much so that I don't receive a single penny from you.
18:49Everything you help us with is for your grandson.
18:51That help is over.
18:53Please calm down.
18:56Raul needs us now more than ever.
18:59For what?
19:00To tell him he's a rat?
19:01No.
19:03Raul is sick and that's why he needs us.
19:07Sadly, Raul, your grandson, is addicted to drugs.
19:14That's why we have to help him.
19:16Of course not.
19:17Drugs are the way out for the weak.
19:20They use them as an excuse not to face their reality.
19:23That's why he needs our support.
19:27Raul is going through a very difficult time
19:29and he needs to know we're with him.
19:31I'm not.
19:32I'm not going to deal with this problem.
19:36You'd be a great shame for your father,
19:39just like you are for me.
19:41And don't ever look for me again.
19:47I'm glad you're here.
19:49I was going to send for you.
19:51Where's my money?
19:52I don't have it.
19:53I came to ask for more merch to sell and pay you back.
19:57I'm not a beneficiary.
19:58This is a business and I want my money right now.
20:00But...
20:01I'm not asking for excuses.
20:03If you don't have my money by tomorrow,
20:05I'm going to call my boss and tell him
20:07I don't have the money to pay you back.
20:10I don't have the money to pay you back.
20:12I don't have the money to pay you back.
20:14I don't have the money to pay you back.
20:16If you don't have my money, you're going to regret it.
20:20Is that clear?
20:27Sit down for breakfast, Raul.
20:29I'm hungry.
20:32If you don't eat well, things won't work out.
20:37We have to solve what's going on, Raul.
20:40The only solution is money.
20:43Do you have it?
20:44No.
20:45I'm talking about other solutions
20:47that will help you overcome your addictions.
20:50You don't understand, do you, Mom?
20:52Well, then talk to me. I'm right here.
20:59I'm asking you to please keep your mind open, Raul.
21:05I asked someone to come talk to you.
21:11Come in.
21:11Excuse me.
21:14Hello.
21:15You must be Raul.
21:17What do you want to know?
21:19I'm Dr. Esparza.
21:20I work with your mother.
21:22My specialty is psychiatry.
21:25Are you serious?
21:28Did you bring me a madman?
21:31You left me no choice, you bastard.
