00:00Don't worry, Ezequiel. I've got it all planned out.
00:04What's up, guys?
00:07What's up? All good?
00:10Very good. In fact, I think it's going to be a great night.
00:13And lots of betting.
00:14Is that why you look like that?
00:16That's something you don't care about.
00:19Relax, kid.
00:23Hey, how's it going with your business?
00:26I'm not complaining, to be honest. More and more guys are looking for me.
00:29And what do you sell?
00:33Everything. Moe's, Perico, M. Everything that makes you feel good.
00:38What if it makes you feel good?
00:40What?
00:42Have you never tried anything?
00:44Not really.
00:46Let's see, kid.
00:49It's time for you to try it.
00:51Look, I'm not going to lie.
00:53It's time for you to try it.
00:55Look, I'm going to invite you to this one so you can see that I'm your father.
00:59Nice.
01:01Enjoy it.
01:02Ready to play?
01:07Did you see what time it is? Where were you?
01:10Oh, please, Mom. Don't start with your stuff. I'm very tired.
01:14No, it's not my stuff, kid. I'm worried about you.
01:17Don't worry about me.
01:19Just make sure I know how to take care of myself.
01:21Yes, but that doesn't mean that you 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.
01:28Even if you don't want to believe it, it's true.
01:30Nobody can touch me.
01:32Come on, man.
01:34What are you arguing about?
01:36Did you see the time your son is coming? It's almost four in the morning.
01:39You should let him rest. Poor thing, he's going to come dressed.
01:42Yes.
01:43What's up, son? How are things?
01:45Super good.
01:46Yes, Dad, very good.
01:47Look at everything we got.
01:49Are you encouraging your son to keep betting?
01:52It's business, woman.
01:54Businesses that feed you.
01:56No, no, you always get me 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? I'm very tired to listen to the discos.
02:10You can see that.
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 that far.
02:18But you really went too far.
02:20What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?
02:22Nothing's wrong with me.
02:23I'm teaching our son how he should have been in this life.
02:27Doing things wrong.
02:29Abusing the power you have.
02:31If you have a good position, why don't you take advantage of it?
02:34Everyone does it, right?
02:38Not even the Solapar family, the bad behavior of your son,
02:41you should pressure him to study and prepare.
02:43It is not possible that he has not finished 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
03:11of the corruption that my husband has exercised.
03:13But I can't stay calm when I see that Flavio's corruption
03:16has reached our son.
03:20That's why I ask you, my mother,
03:23to help us.
03:26Let Flavio understand that he is being a bad influence
03:28for that man.
03:31Because
03:33children are the reflection of our heart.
03:44I'm sorry.
03:56Don't you hear me, Gonzalo?
03:58How much money does this guy owe you?
04:00He bet $5,000. We have to pay him everything.
04:02No, no, no, no. They don't want to see my face.
04:05I bet $50,000 if 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.
04:11I told you not to worry.
04:13That everything was going to be solved.
04:15But you shouldn't have called the ambulance
04:17to make so much trouble.
04:18I can't let Gonzalo die, Dad.
04:20Of course not.
04:21That would be a bigger problem.
04:23But you should have taken him to the hospital.
04:26Luckily, there won't be any more problems.
04:28And now what's going to happen to him?
04:31That's not our business anymore.
04:33How can it not be, Dad?
04:35If Gonzalo is my friend.
04:37Dads are the ones who will see what they do 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 it's not good for us if he's in jail.
04:50But my son is dying, Dad.
04:52Understand.
04:53That's not our problem anymore.
04:59You're washing your hands of what happened to Gonzalo.
05:01Tell 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.
05:11Be a man.
05:13Go.
05:14Calm down.
05:20Why would it be?
05:21Poor 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.
05:35Tell us what happened.
05:37If Gonzalo is in the hospital, it's my fault.
05:42You have to help me, Angelica.
05:44You told me to come to you if I wanted to change.
05:47And I want to do it.
05:49But I don't know how.
05:51Please help me.
05:58Because I was involved in the races with Cristina,
06:01I never realized that Cobra was selling his junk to Gonzalo.
06:06That's why now it's my fault that he's in the hospital.
06:08No, don't blame yourself.
06:10Gonzalo knew what he was doing.
06:12They've already told us about drugs at school.
06:15Apparently, he got curious.
06:17Yes, but if I hadn't pulled him into this,
06:20he wouldn't have gotten into drugs.
06:24I don't know what to do.
06:26How can I prevent other kids from going to the hospital
06:29and consuming that junk?
06:31Well, if you want, I can talk to my dad.
06:34He's a cop.
06:35Maybe he can stop that guy.
06:37No, no, please, Angelica, don't do it.
06:39You know my dad is the chief of police
06:42and also the one who protects Cobra.
06:45I don't want your dad or my dad to get hurt.
06:48Well, but if we don't do something,
06:50that guy will keep poisoning the kids.
06:53And it's not fair that we keep quiet.
06:55Yes, yes, I know.
06:57I have to find a way to stop him,
06:59or at least keep him away,
07:01so that then your dad can act.
07:06Oh, how beautiful your house is.
07:08Thank you very much.
07:09It's your house, huh?
07:10You're welcome whenever you want.
07:11Thank you for inviting me.
07:12Good afternoon, ladies.
07:14Good afternoon, Mr. Flavio.
07:16We were waiting for you to talk to you.
07:18About what?
07:20Well, look,
07:21we are from the perpetual candle and eternal aid committee.
07:24And as you know,
07:25we are organizing the crossroads of our Lord Jesus Christ.
07:29So we came to ask for two favors.
07:31If you could help us with the process
07:33to close the street where our procession will pass.
07:37Oh, ma'am, no, I don't know if I can do that.
07:40You see, people get upset,
07:42then what they ask for is not so easy.
07:46There are expenses to cover,
07:48and right now you know how things are.
07:50There is no budget in the delegation.
07:53So, well, I really don't know how I can help you.
07:57But you are the chief of police
07:59and you can give the necessary instructions
08:02so that we can make our representation without any problem.
08:05In addition, we want to ask you to play the role of Poncio Pilatos.
08:10Why?
08:11What do you mean why, Mr. Flavio?
08:13He and you are figures of power.
08:15He comes as a ring on the finger of the paper.
08:18No one will represent him more dignified.
08:21Ladies, that's where you would have started.
08:24That being the case, count on all my support.
08:27You will be able to do your procession without anyone bothering you.
08:31We knew we could count on you,
08:34and we won't take up any more of your time.
08:36We will do what you have to say.
08:39God bless you.
08:40Excuse me.
08:41Come in.
08:42Bye.
08:47It's amazing, Flavio.
08:50You even took advantage of this?
08:53Do you think I didn't notice that you tried to ask them for money?
08:56Don't start with your nonsense, I already told you.
08:59Don't you like the way I am? Leave me alone.
09:01Well, look at you.
09:02I should have done that a long time ago.
09:05But now I won't leave you for our son.
09:07Because I'm not going to leave him with you
09:09so that he continues to be a bad influence for him.
09:16And look.
09:17They gave you the character you deserve.
09:20Because you are always washing your hands
09:22and you let yourself be guided by your corruption.
09:31I will be...
09:34Ponce Pilatos.
09:43What are you doing here?
09:44After what happened,
09:45you will not sell your garbage here in the streets again.
09:47You can't run from me like that.
09:50This ends when I decide.
09:54We are the ones who make the decisions.
09:56So get out of here
09:58if you don't want my dad to put you behind bars.
10:01Don't think this is going to stay that way.
10:03I swear they will pay me.
10:06Let's go.
10:15Honey.
10:17Please don't go to those races today.
10:21After what happened to your friend,
10:23I can't be calm.
10:25Don't worry, Mom.
10:27I'll be fine.
10:29Besides,
10:30today is going to be the last time you go to those races.
10:33Are you serious?
10:35Yes.
10:36I never wanted to listen to you.

13:08I always had...
13:10I'll be with you to make her realize this is for the best.
13:20You're...
13:22You're...
13:22You're...
13:23You're really good to me.
13:25You're always there for me,
13:27even though I used to leave you.
13:30Never forget that I love you so much.
13:36Magic.
13:39What are you doing here?
13:41I told you I couldn't keep selling your crap.
13:45I'm not here to sell anything.
13:47I just want to settle accounts.
14:09What?
14:19This can't be.
14:21Take her to the best hospital.
14:23Come on.
14:24What happened?
14:26Not now, woman.
14:28What happened?
14:30Nothing.
14:31What do you mean nothing? Tell me what happened.
14:33It's about our son, right?
14:35Yes.
14:38They called to tell me that he was shot in the race.
14:41No.
14:43No, it's not true.
14:45Tell me it's not true, Flavio.
14:47Tell me it's not true, Flavio.
14:49But yes, I swear that whoever did it will pay for it.
14:53I swear.
14:54But if the only one to blame for what happened is you.
14:56You have to pay.
14:59You, who has always been a corrupt man,
15:01who has always washed your hands with your corruption,
15:04and now you're going to wash them with the blood of your own son.
15:09You are the only one to blame for what is happening to my son.
15:16My child, my child.
15:19My love.
15:20Oh, no, no, no, no.
15:24Oh, my love, no, my love, my love, my love, my love, no.
15:28No.
15:33Forgive me, my son.
15:36Forgive me for all the harm I did to you.
15:40For being a bad influence on you.
15:44My son, you have to pay for this.
15:47For your life, my son.
15:49You have to save yourself, my son.
15:51Kill him.
15:52Kill him.
15:55I hope so, Flavio.
15:58Because I don't know how you're going to calm your conscience
16:01if our son dies.
16:25Flavio.
16:30Flavio.
16:31Flavio.
16:32Flavio.
16:33Flavio.
16:34Flavio.
16:35Flavio.
16:36Flavio.
16:37Flavio.
16:38Flavio.
16:39My princess.
16:50You shot my son.
16:54You made a big mistake, Eustaquio.
16:57You're not going to finish it.
16:59Take him away.
17:00Let's go.
17:03Let's go.
17:04You're the one who's not going to finish it.
17:06Don't forget that we've been accomplices for a long time.
17:10Never forget it.
17:12Get rid of this clown.
17:25How is he?
17:28He's stable.
17:29That's why they moved him to intermediate therapy.
17:42Mom.
17:44I'm here, my love.
17:46I'm here.
17:47I'm here.
17:48I'm here.
17:49I'm here.
17:50I'm here.
17:51I'm here.
17:52I'm here, my love.
17:53I'm here.
17:55Don't worry, champ.
17:56Everything's going to be okay.
17:59Dad.
18:01It was Cobra.
18:03It was him who...
18:04Flavio, don't worry.
18:06I took care of him.
18:08You...
18:10You just worry about recovering.
18:14And above all, about forgiving me.
18:16I should never have asked you to be part of my business.
18:21But what do you want?
18:24Because of my ambition.
18:26I was a bad example for you.
18:29That's why I'm begging you, son.
18:31Forgive me.
18:33But above all, don't follow my example.
18:37Don't do my stupidities.
18:39You deserve a better life, champ.
18:52I don't have anything to forgive you for, Dad.
18:56I also let myself be carried away by ambition.
19:03I'm sorry.
19:04I know this isn't a good time.
19:06But you have to come with me.
19:08There are charges against you for bribery, abuse of authority,
19:11and enrichment of power.
19:13You have to come with me.
19:15You have to come with me.
19:17You have to come with me.
19:19There are charges against you for bribery, abuse of authority,
19:21and enrichment of power.
19:25Okay.
19:27Give me a moment.
19:33Listen, son.
19:35Promise me you'll change.
19:39Promise me you'll be a better person than me, champ.
19:44Be a better person.
19:49I love you, son.
19:54I'm sorry, old man.
20:19What's going to happen to my dad?
20:23I don't know, honey.
20:25But I promise you, we're not going to leave him alone.
20:29Because somehow we're all responsible for what's happening, right?
20:33Corruption is a cancer that can affect any society.
