"LANDSCAPE AFTER THE BATTLE"
[Emilia] To say that my world changed after my brother's Manuel death
is not enough.
I knew I lived in a world in which everything that could happen,
even the unimaginable,
did happen.
Well...
How's everything?
Two years ago,
on a rainy night...
Check your makeup.
...in a hotel room in Mexico City's historic downtown,
Pete Vazquez, an employee my father trusted completely
came in to kill the President
and frame me for the murder.
I guess all of you
have watched the video of that night...
the evidence that exonerated me.
I found myself...
at the center
of an international conspiracy,
and I realized
that certain things are far from being...
under control.
It was at that point that the uncertainty principle
hit me again.
[clapping]
How long have you been there?
Long enough to be touched
to the very core.
What happened?
Unfortunately, you've got to see this.
This is how Cuernavaca woke up.
And Tijuana.
Acapulco.
And the city's historic downtown.
GUNFIRE WON'T STOP UNTIL WE SAY SO. NOT THE GOVERNMENT, NOT EMILIA URQUIZA
They broke the truce. This is X8.
We're not sure, Emilia.
The truth is it could have been anyone,
any organization that wants to sabotage the process.
There's no way back.
We are less than 24 hours away from signing the peace treaty.
The one I negotiated?
And one of the immutable terms was not to break the truce.
[cell phone ringing]
Don't leave, Pepe.
I have to go back to Los Pinos.
- But I'll come back tonight, okay? - Okay.
Hello?
[man] Mrs. Urquiza?
Yes, this is she.
The prisoner Canek Lagos has suffered an attack.
What?
Hi.
What are you doing?
Are you okay?
No, I'm not.
The fucking tents haven't arrived.
So what if they don't arrive?
You'll be fine.
Chill out.
Chill out?
Can't you see that my mom is about to sell half of the company?
And what is the big deal?
You'll have a couple of million less in your inheritance.
Why do you always have to trivialize my things?
Because they are trivial.
- Maria. - What?
I have to go. I'll be back in a while.
Okay.
Wait. I'll ask you again.
Tell me the truth this time. Hmm?
Are you okay?
Is that the whole guest list?
Yes.
These ones will go to the Urquiza Foundation's event
and these ones will go to the signing of the peace treaty.
And Kelly Crawford?
She is obviously not on the list.
But she will go tonight.
I guess.
I'm still waiting for you to confirm it,
but you've been playing video games for 36 hours.
I won't sleep until this asshole sleeps.
WHERE... THE... FUCK... DID... YOU... GO?
I have to answer.
Ovni.
- Ovni. - What?
Who are Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne?
Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne?
I don't know.
Hawthorne?
Pantera, how are we doing?
We are ready, boss.
Whenever you say.
[cell phone beeping]
I want you all to double the smiles, okay?
[all] Yes, of course.
[woman] You heard Miss Maria, all smiling.
[all] Yes, ma'am.
[Ovni] Ana!
Huh?
What's this?
The very Mrs. and Mr. Hawthorne.
[cell phone ringing]
Pepe?
I've just spoken with the prison governor.
And?
He can't confirm who attacked him.
It's a prison. It could have been anyone.
Pepe, listen to me.
He is in solitary confinement and he is locked up day and night.
He's the only prisoner who is in that section.
Hand-delivered, please.
I understand your interest in the matter.
And you want me to understand the political implications.
SAVING MEXICO
Good afternoon, ma'am. Documents, please.
Please, I'm begging you.
Don't do anything.
Don't risk the operation, please.
At least give me the opportunity to discuss it.
Pepe...
I need to get him out of there.
Give me an hour.
One hour.
[guard] Let her through.
[gasps]
It's okay.
How are you?
He missed my jugular by two millimeters.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Did you see who it was?
A random fucker.
No.
It was X8.
I don't know.
It was fast.
He came in...
and out.
Just like that?
Do you mean without finishing the job?
Mm-hmm.
Yes, I guess.
What did you do?
What was I supposed to do? I couldn't do anything.
Look...
I know you think it was X8...
but those fuckers don't fail.
Unless that's their intention, to send me a message.
Maybe...
they want to sabotage tomorrow's signing.
I have to get you out of here.
Come on.
You've already put in a lot of effort.
No. Sorry, we both have.
A lot of time and effort.
Attacking you wasn't the only thing they did, Canek.
Come here.
When I turned myself in...
I promised Chela...
I promised her that I would take care of you.
And I will do that.
I love you, okay?
And I'll get you out of here.
[groaning]
Help!
Are you okay, Canek?
Yes.
Pepe.
Time's up.
There's no more time.
I NEED TO SEE YOU
Where did you get this?
From Maria Nava's phone.
She's Miss Hawthorne.
Since when is she under surveillance?
Since you got rid of that journalist
and we put Kelly Crawford under surveillance.
Are we ready?
To kill her?
Ilana, please leave me alone.
Sorry, ma'am?
Nobody can know what is about to happen, okay?
In fact, if somebody asks you...
you say that you don't know anything.
Get out of here. I don't know, go buy something.
Anything.
Just make sure to get the receipt.
Please, leave.
Did anybody follow you?
Do you think I'm stupid?
What the fuck do you want?
I want to know why the hell you broke the truce
and why did you attack Canek.
What? What are you talking about?
He was almost killed in his cell last night.
Is he okay?
So you think we did it?
No. I know it was your boss.
The attacker ran away before killing him.
I know you are sending me a message.
I just want to know what it is.
I didn't know a thing.
If you don't believe me, that is your problem.
I know you wouldn't hurt Canek.
But Santiago Salazar definitely would.
This time tomorrow, we will be signing a peace treaty,
which includes amnesty that extends to you.
If during the next 24 hours you lay a finger on anyone else again,
that will be the first thing we take off the table. Hmm?
Ole!
Go for the balls, man!
Go right in the crotch!
Ole!
Whoa!
Zyan, come on.
Hey, Zyan, easy.
Easy.
You can't come like this, looking so hot, and threaten people.
Huh?
What the hell do you want?
What are you trying to do with Canek?
Ah. We should have started there.
Does it have to do with your boyfriend?
Don't laugh at me, asshole.
I don't give a fuck if you want to sabotage the ceasefire.
Because you haven't seen a war like the one you'll have
if anything happens to Canek.
Fucking faggot.
Little dick.
Hey, no.
Don't be offensive.
I'm not a faggot.
Why don't you aim someplace else?
Let's relax.
Come on, tell me who told you that.
I can help you.
You know that.
Who told you that?
[laughs]
No, don't tell me. Let me guess.
Let me guess.
I know!
Your love rival.
Huh?
Mrs. Emilia Urquiza told you.
[cell phone rings]
Hello?
What do you mean he's out?
Pardon by presidential decree.
I told you I just needed some time.
When was he released?
One hour ago.
Mom.
Wow.
I had it made from the suit dad wore to his inauguration.
You look beautiful.
I'll see if everything's okay.
Okay.
Son!
Pepita.
- Are you taking good care of yourself? - Yes.
Give me that. Let's go inside.
I'm really sorry...
that you didn't get to say goodbye to your aunt.
Me too.
She was a good sister.
And a far better mother to you...
than I've ever been.
- Mom... - Huh?
I don't hold grudges.
You did a good job.
Thank you.
[soft jazz music playing]
Maria.
- Can I talk to you? - Yes.
What's up, Mom?
Nothing, I just wanted to tell you something that...
I tell myself all the time, every day.
So?
Do you know what resilience is?
Yes, of course, Mom.
I'm a strong, independent, and resilient woman.
It is the ability to recover
quickly from a shock.
Sometimes, my dear,
quickly may mean years
or even a lifetime.
What I want to tell you is...
that you should be a bit more patient with yourself.
And with me.
Okay, Mom.
Good luck with your speech.
Thank you.
You have a lipstick smudge. There.
Good evening, how are you?
Welcome. Good evening.
Thanks. Good evening.
I'm gonna kill them all.
Maria.
Are you looking for someone?
You.
I wanted to apologize for what happened upstairs.
I'm a bit nervous.
I'll be right back. I'll just go and keep an eye on things.
Shh.
Mr. Hawthorne.
[soft applause]
In 1994, I took my little brother to the cinema.
It was a movie my mom didn't really like
She said it was unwise, she didn't like the topic,
just like she didn't like so many other things.
But at that time, at that point in my life,
I was immersed...
in an ever-expanding world.
What I wanted was
to save my little brother
from the life I had, which bored me to death.
So, I decided
to come up with an extremely complicated plan
...that would let us get to the movies...
You didn't come alone, did you?
Come here.
The second choice I made
was to cut through an indoor parking lot
instead of taking the open road.
And then...
A car came out of nowhere and...
it stopped abruptly in front of us.
That's how a kidnapping with a tragic end began.
It's not enough to say
that my world changed after my brother Manuel's death.
I knew that we lived in a world
in which anything could happen.
And it happened.
So, I lived in constant...
fear all the time...
thinking that, at any time...
something could happen.
And, what's worse,
I wouldn't have any kind of control,
I wouldn't be able to do...
anything at all
about it.
But,
soon enough days became months, months became years,
and at some point, I regained the excitement
of taking back
control of my life.
Even though the uncertainty principle had just slapped me,
my privilege allowed me...
to return to that thought that said
that if I completed my penance,
if I lived within the limits
of morality and respectability,
if I could govern myself,
life was going to reward me somehow...
for everything I had done.
Clearly, it wasn't the case.
Two years ago...
on a rainy night,
in a hotel room
in Mexico City's historic downtown,
Pete Vazquez, an employee my father trusted...
came in to kill the President...
and to frame me for the murder.
I guess you've all seen the tape of what happened that night...
the evidence that exonerated me.
As a result of this event
that altered all aspects of my existence,
I held to the notion that
we lived in a fair world.
After that,
it summarily dispelled.
- Have you seen Maria? - No.
I suddenly found myself at the center of an international conspiracy
and I realized that,
over certain things,
you don't have any kind of control.
And then,
uncertainty hit me again.
But, this time, in a different way.
This time, I understood
that even though we can't control
what happens to us,
we can have some control
over our reactions.
Where are we,
all of us who have been victims of violence in Mexico?
What are our stories?
Ovni, where are you?
I need your eyes.
[whirring]
[Emilia] What shall we do with that information?
With everything we have learned?
Hi, Ovni.
Mrs. Hawthorne, where are you?
Tonight, in the context
of the historic signing of the peace treaty
which intends to stop more that 20 years of armed conflict,
I want to...
share with you
the development of the most important and recent project
of the foundation I chair,
the Graciela Lagos' Network of Care and Investigation Centers for Survivors,
with headquarters in each state of the Republic.
[all applauding]
Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Yes, I have her in my sight.
Thank you.
What are you doing here?
Inside.
Shit.
[Ovni on radio] Where the fuck did they go?
They went inside.
Sneak in.
Shit.
I'm sure you don't want this to go public,
especially in a night like this.
It would devastate the country
to know that their own Mother Teresa
is doing business with the bad guys.
And that she's also using her power
to save her lover.
And they want Mexico to change.
I told you I would kill for my people.
What the fuck do you want?
What I've always wanted.
Stay out of my business.
Mom!
Go get your godfather
and tell him to bring the army. Right now!
- Why would they arrest me? - No.
You don't have anything on me, Emilia.
Go get your godfather now!
[crowd clamoring]
[gun shots]
[people screaming]
[sirens blaring]
I'm sorry.
I don't want you to leave.
Everything's gonna be okay.
I know what I'm gonna do.
