THE ACERO DYNASTY
Sir, there's a PGE barricade.
Don't make a sound or we're f---ed.
Be careful.
If we die, we'll take a few of them with us.
Come on!
Where are you headed?
To the city to buy a few things like fertilizer...
What's in your trunk?
Nothing, a few tools and the spare tire.
Please step out of the vehicle and open the trunk.
Attention all units in the vicinity
of Governor Chucho Casares' ranch.
We need backup to stop the press from entering.
I repeat, Commander Heriberto Ortiz was found impaled
SIN VIDA EN EL INTERIOR DEL RANCHO.
in the ranch.
The press cannot find out.
You may leave.
We're heading to the Governor's ranch.
Call back up.
All set, Mr. Chucho.
Go ahead, sweetie. Go play.
Will you look at him. He's so happy.
I'd never seen him this happy.
Thanks for meeting up with my mother.
She's all he's ever had.
She's the only mother he knew.
Besides, it's not his fault.
It's no one's fault.
I never meant to hurt you.
When Indio Amaro showed up with the baby,
he told me his mother had died in childbirth.
I'd already lost my son Alvaro.
My grandson was all I had.
Of course, we were both victims of the same bastard.
You know...
after my baby was born, he told me he'd killed him.
I haven't been able to stop crying since then.
I never thought I'd be a mother.
There was no way.
I mean, I used protection every time I slept with men.
But I met your son and we dated and things happened.
I fell desperately in love and I got pregnant.
When I found out about him, I was really happy.
We were really happy, but that's when...
you know.
The Aceros killed him and chopped his head off.
Then they killed Teca and I had no place to hide.
That's when I started running and...
let's not talk about it or I get a terrible backache.
How dare you call me while I'm working?
Are you insane?
No!
I can't show up.
My boss is on my ass and he asked for Phillips' head!
I can help you with that.
The bad guys always get away with it in this story.
And you're one of the worst.
I don't give a f--- about your personal s---.
I'm ordering you to come here, so you'd better do it
without complaining.
F---!
What are you doing out here?
Getting some fresh air.
Sure.
Any word on where Phillips might be?
I mean, any other clever ideas to find him?
No, not really.
He'll eventually show up.
People always pay for their crimes.
-Sure. -Yes.
People always pay for their crimes...
no matter who has to go down.
Excuse me? What did you say?
Nothing.
Oh, I see.
Excuse me. I have to go.
Shall I go with you?
Look, Sanchez, I'm still the boss here.
I don't owe you any explanations
nor do I have to allow you to make decisions
that you're not entitled to make.
This isn't a democracy. Is that clear?
Yeah.
Are you sure you don't want my company?
Don't mix things up.
It's one thing when I'm in a good mood,
and something entirely different when I'm just me.
What was his first word? "Mommy," right?
No. It was "Gammie."
You see? Why'd I think he'd say "Mommy"?
Now look...
I'm with him now but he doesn't love me.
He hates me. He won't eat.
He's depressed.
I'm sorry, Tuti.
If I'd known you were alive, I would've brought you Atencio.
Atencio?
My God, how could he be named Atencio?
With all the pretty names there are.
There are so many fun and interesting names,
like Marta Monica, right?
Something more modern.
Yes, I agree.
But that's what Indio and his wife named him.
I know!
Don't people in those awful towns in the country know
about pretty, elegant names?
I never imagined Doriga having such a beautiful daughter.
Thanks.
He was so mean to me.
He was very rude and intense.
I guess that's his personality since he's an ex-cop, right?
I'm confused. What's your name, sweetie?
Is it Andrea or Patricia?
I'm more confused than Confucius.
He's that Chinese-Japanese guy who confuses everything.
Have you heard of him?
You Mexicans have that habit.
You change your names
or some people call you one thing
and others call you something else.
Like, my name is Marta Monica
and whenever I introduce myself I say,
"Nice to meet you, I'm Marta Monica."
-I'm sorry to interrupt. -Oh, babe!
We need to talk.
What are you doing here, Marcelo?
I called him, Mom. I told him to come.
I'm sick of the lies.
It's time to clear things up.
Bro, we're here. Thanks a lot.
Don't lose her.
Don't worry.
Alright, let's go after her so we can clear your name.
Well, this is clear to me.
He took her because he wanted to save her from Teca Martinez.
You changed your name to protect yourself from him.
We're all victims of the same bastard, right?
Tuti, I did what I thought was right at the time.
Oh, sweetie, look at you.
You don't look as mean as I thought you were.
This son of a gun tortured me when I was pregnant
so he could get his hands on some info.
Remember?
-What? -Is that true, Dad?
No, it's not as bad as it seems.
I mean... well, you were mean.
Remember that I started having my back pain?
I get a terrible pain all over my back.
It's awful.
The thing is that he did it because he thought I had info
on the other people and since he was born to protect his family,
Aracely, and you no matter what...
Hey, Tuti.
I'm grateful you're taking my side on this,
but this is something I need to discuss with them privately.
No, we have nothing to talk about.
It's pretty clear you took away my daughter
and then gave Mario Casas the information
so he'd take my grandson!
No, that's not what happened. Forgive him.
You know what? I'll tell you the story.
I paid Mario Casas a bunch of money to bring me my son,
me being his mother.
This guy had absolutely no other choice
because he and Mario Casas have a complicated history
that goes way back, but it wasn't his fault.
To be honest, if I were you,
I'd make the most of having a father.
You have a father so don't waste the opportunity.
I mean it.
Look at me.
Come here, sweetie.
What would've happened if I'd stayed home crying in bed
and hadn't looked for my boy?
I'd have never found him.
Girls, you can stop by the house whenever you want.
I have a wonderful mansion. You guys can sunbathe.
My dolls are over there. The whole crew.
You have a pretty grandson and you have a beautiful nephew.
You can stop by whenever you want.
Now, sugar, let it all out.
If you let it out, you'll feel free, liberated and happy.
God bless you.
Come on, sweetie. Let's go home.
Bye.
My shoes are killing me because they're new, sweetie.
I can barely walk...
What are you looking for?
My baby girl.
I thought I was your baby girl.
Deborah...
you don't get it, do you?
This is no time to be playing around.
Chavita's waiting for me downstairs.
Try to understand.
But...
But what?
Well, in every war, you've got to make time for love.
Yes, but...
Chavita waiting for me.
Deborah, please.
Fine, but make it fast.
No, I have to go. Come on.
Don't you like it?
Yes, I love it.
You want something else?
What the hell are you doing here?
It's a surprise. Do you like it?
Do you like what you see?
Of course I do.
If the three of us are going to live together...
under the same roof...
then we need to find a way to make it work.
Yeah, I know.
Sure thing, come here.
I love the idea.
Aracely's death changed my way of thinking.
Really?
Yeah.
We're all going to die sooner or later.
Yes, we will.
We're all going to die.
As of today, our story's going to be different.
It's been really hard for me to understand this but...
at least I've had time to process this.
I forgave you, Mom. You should try forgiving Dad.
Mom!
We all make mistakes and his wasn't worse than yours.
Of course it's worse.
He took you away from me when you were a child.
A child needs her mother. He shouldn't have done it.
I know.
I also know that maybe not today, but someday
you'll understand what I did and why I had to keep this
a secret for so many years until yesterday.
Why, Dad?
Because you married Aracely yesterday
and had to tell her the truth?
What is it? Why the long face?
Didn't she forgive you?
How can a woman react when her husband tells her
he has a 30-year-old daughter?
It's a huge lie. It's a tough blow.
Yes, but Aracely knows my father worked for the DEA
and that he was after Teca Martinez.
She should understand that he was protecting me.
Dad, what's going on?
What is it? Why are you crying, Marcelo?
Did Aracely leave you?
Is that it, Dad?
I'm so sorry. I mean it.
No, sweetie.
Aracely didn't leave me.
Aracely was murdered yesterday.
What's up, babe?
Did you bring your brother so we could finish with him?
What the hell is she doing here with those thugs?
Do you recognize anyone?
No, I've never seen them, but I swear I'll chop my hand off
if they're not with the Tijuana cartel.
-Let's get 'em. -Hey, wait.
Slow down. Did you see how many there are?
There are probably more inside.
We have to wait.
Indio Amaro called me. Now get out of my way.
Go ahead, babe.
Should we call Chava and Rooster?
No, we should wait a bit.
I want real proof against her.
Going in there isn't enough.
Are you kidding me?
I guess we don't have any other choice but to wait
to see who she's with.
I knew it.
I knew she was dirty.
Here she is, boss.
Let go of me!
Our honored guest is here.
I'm glad you stopped playing hard to get.
Welcome back.
What is it, Indio? What was so urgent?
My friend wants to ask you for a favor.
Save yourself the introductions.
Remember that Miss Cardenas and I know each other well.
I saved her from dying when she was attacked in Juarez.
Bastard!
You planned that along with the Tijuana cartel
so don't bulls--- me!
We all know the kind of corrupt bastard you are!
Let me go!
Don't ever touch me again!
Do you know what I just did?
I just killed my best friend, my wife and my mother!
The police and the Feds are looking for me
so don't test me.
Alright, fine. Man, take it easy.
Calm down.
It's time to forget about the past.
Now we're all partners.
We're all in the same boat.
I need you to help the Governor cross the border
without getting caught by the cops.
Understood?
