[ball bouncing]
[César] We all win if you take the blame and plead guilty.
I'll be there to take care of you, and watch your back.
[inmates yelling]
And you'll have to do some jail time.
It will only be a couple of weeks.
And what am I offering?
The health of your mother.
[inmates shouting indistinctly]
[shrill ringing]
Your sacrifice will save your mom's life.
[somber music playing]
-[Álex grunting] -[inmates jeering]
[man] How are you?
There's some things going on here that are more painful
than that beating those fucking cowards gave you.
Nice to meet you.
Carlos Sánchez.
How long you in for? I've been here eight years.
Twenty-two to go.
Who the hell are you?
Your fairy godmother, Alejandro Guzmán.
[chuckles]
[suspenseful music playing]
[doors clanging]
[footsteps approaching]
[man sighs]
Is there any news, or…
So what'd the judge say?
[somber music playing]
They promised I'd be here two months. Been almost eight.
[sighs] Your case isn't easy. I have little evidence in your favor.
César Lazcano said it would be two months at the most.
He made a promise.
My mom is out there, and she's alone.
She can't visit me because she gets sicker by the minute.
They didn't tell you?
Your mom died last Monday.

-[engine revving] -[tires screeching]
-[indistinct police radio chatter] -[sirens wailing]
I brought you this. Thought it might help you.
Thanks.
Well?
How long are they gonna keep you?
No idea.
They know I'm an ex-con, so they'll do whatever they want with me.
-I'm gonna talk to them. -No.
-What? Álex! -No, don't interfere. Don't.
I don't want you talking to them.
I'm just trying to help.
Did they hurt you?
They went straight for Ortega.
I swear, I did nothing. I swear.
I just went to my dad's offices.
I was trying to find the accountant so I could speak to him, that's all, Álex.
They won't come after you.
No?
How can you be so sure?
Because I'm gonna be your life insurance.
As long as I'm with you, my family won't do anything.
I've decided.
-[slaps] -[both laughing]
Oh, I'm so glad you're back. I've been sleeping alone for too long.
[moans]
I've been sleeping alone for too many nights.
I know, I know…
The casino, the clients, the new venue.
[moans]
[both breathing heavily]
[metal clinking]
-Don't fuck with me! -No, I like that.
César, keep going. Don't stop.
You gonna call the priest…
-so he can give you permission to fuck? -I'll take it off.
Yeah, I guess I should carry the guilt of you burning in hellfire.
-Ah. -César, wait.
[Imara, in Hungarian] Help.
Help.
I need help.
[somber music playing]
[in English] Help.
Help.
Are you all right, hon?
Yeah.
You're not eating, Bruno.
Will you tell me what's wrong?
It's a girl from school.
Good night, Mom.
-[man grunting] -One more, come on.
Push it, push it.
Nice, nice. Good shift. Now rest.
A minute, no more.
-Hey. -[Sara] How is it going?
I'm glad you came. Come here.
May I present my most disciplined pupil,
-Rodolfo Lazcano. -Hey.
This is my sister, Sara.
-Nice to meet you. Sara. -You too. Rodolfo.
Sara, pleasure.
Now, you'll be coming by here more often, I suppose?
Mm.
-You start today? -Yeah.
-Yeah? -Yeah, she starts today.
-[Sara giggling] -Awesome, I'll see you.

[pounding on door]
Tell me it was you.
Confess, and we'll be even.
Are you gonna come here every day to harass me, or what?
I need to know if it was you.
What are you talking about?
Someone trapped me inside the sauna.
And they raised the temperature.
What makes you think it was Álex?
Please spare me the sanctimonious older brother comment, would you?
It wasn't me.
Álex was with me most of yesterday.
He wasn't at the casino.
Since when are you two…
-Dad is aware? -[Elisa] No.
There's no point.
You're getting screwed.
First, they blame you for my sister's death and now this.
Can't be a coincidence.
Whatever's going on between you two…
definitely won't end well.
[Chema] Come in.
Mm. No way.
Oh, how cool. This is great.
-[chuckles] Excellent house! -[Chema chuckles]

I mean, of course it's awesome, right?

Now you're making me a little nervous.
A building super, salesperson. So many jobs!
Why so many professions?
-I'm just versatile, man. -[Lorenzo] Hm.
Besides, it's not my fault people get me fired all the time.
-Some people can be-- -You interested in working?
[scoffs] Yes, I'm interested. Very.
But I want it to be a job that… that fills my heart
-and fills-- -And what if you were offered
a truly important position?
Like, say something that…
that fills your heart and fulfills your life?
-Hm. -[Lorenzo] What would you say?
Well, I'd accept and devote my mind, body, soul,
and feel… profoundly happy.
Lorenzo and I would love to offer you
perhaps the most important job of your life…
and of our lives as well.
[Lorenzo] Mm-hmm.
That's amazing! [laughing]
But we haven't told you what it is yet.
Okay.
So, dummy, are you afraid of needles?
-No. -Or gaining weight?
Oh, come on.
Of having a baby?
-Um… -[gentle piano music playing]
We would you like you to, uh, carry our child for us.

And, well,
all we need now is a woman to help us by lending us her uterus.

You mean…

No, no, no! Are you serious? Are you serious?
-Of course I'll do it! Of course! -[laughing] Careful with the glasses.

Wow. Oh, thank you!
-[Lorenzo chuckles] -Thank you, thank you!
Of course! It's the most beautiful thing anyone's asked me.
-Of course! -Let me make this clear.
-You're gonna be compensated for this. -Yeah.
But first, we have to agree on a price.
Okay, that's perfect, that's perfect!

You, and you… we…
are a family as of this moment.

Huh? It's great, no?
We have the best casino in México.
Jorge Ortega has passed.
A car hit him last night.
I bet he was drunk.
-What happened? -[Sergio] No clue.
The point is he's dead, and we need a new accountant, urgently.
[César] You must have a few candidates.
So, what's the protocol for tonight?
The invited guests arrive, and we'll keep them at the lobby.
Meanwhile, go inside so you can meet the press,
and you can welcome them and visit with them--
I want the girls ready. You got that?
César,
that's a risk we shouldn't take right now.
You know that the clients--
Are you gonna tell me how to manage my companies, amigo?
I want them to be hotter than ever.
'Cause we're going to close a shitload of deals tonight.
[woman] Excuse me, Elroy?
I was looking for you.
I have the invoice for Mr. Jorge's funeral arrangements.
Can you approve it?
I still can't believe it.
It was so… [echoes] out of nowhere.
It was completely useless.

-Do you hear me? -No, they weren't working right.
What do you mean, they weren't working right?
That's your only-- Fuck, Elroy!
We'll have them repaired.
Someone tried to kill me. Because of you, I don't know who it was.
You should have never been hired.
I want you to look at me.
It was pity.
That's all it was.
Just pity.
Go bathe. You smell like shit.
You can trust me, Sara.

-Let's wait one more year. -No. No, no, no, no.
-I want you to take every damn test-- -Sofía, it's terrible timing!
Today? Seriously?
I want us to have a child together, baby.
It's something I've wanted since the day we got married.
Plus, I need to know if you're the one with the problem.
Of course I have the problem.
-It's always my problem. -No, don't play the victim.
Confront this issue once and for all.

It's a very exciting evening.
