Dark Desire (Oscuro deseo)

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Well, cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers!

Thank you so much for coming.

Honey.

Oh, thank you, honey.

I'd like to make a toast.

To the ten years we've been together.

And the 100 years we have yet to live. Cheers!

To the happy couple!

- Here's to them! - Here's to them!

Let's see what we have here.

Oh, this is beautiful.

I helped Leonardo pick them.

- Thank you, my friend. - Do you know what they mean?

- No. - I'll explain, honey.

Swans pick one partner to spend

the rest of their lives together.

That's what we are.

A couple of swans, honey.

I love you.

I love you.

Well, recent studies revealed

that the female swans are not as faithful as the story says.

Come on, Esteban.

- That's ridiculous. - Yes, that comment is inappropriate.

Honey, help me bring out the dessert.

Yes, sure. Let's go.

- Who wants coffee? - Me!

- Coming. - Okay. Nobody else?

Could you be any less obvious?

Could you be more cynical?

DARK DESIRE

I don't understand.

- With Brenda, that makes sense. - Esteban.

You're a family woman, not a slut.

- Don't disrespect Brenda. - I'm trying to understand what happened.

Why did you sleep with him?

Why would I not?

Because I'm a woman?

Because I have to be the ideal mom, the perfect woman?

What don't you understand?

That I was attracted to a stranger,

that he came forward and...

That I didn't give a damn about anything?

And, yes, I dared to do it.

Is that so wrong?

- You guys do it all the time. - Who does it?

Come on, stop trying to get back at him.

I can think of a thousand excuses.

And I can tell you that...

I was lonely, or...

because my husband's neglecting me.

Or because I think Leonardo is having an affair with...

I don't know.

It just happened, as simple as that.

Who is this guy?

Whatever, I'm not seeing him again.

Come on, I'm not your jealous husband.

I'm not going to run and kill your lover. It's me.

Your brother-in-law, your old friend.

I think I'm the only person who can help you right now.

This isn't easy for me, okay?

I need to know who he is.

He's a lawyer.

Darío Guerra.

She's beautiful.

Smart.

A volatile woman.

Explosive.

I'm really into her.

Lucinda, I won't lie, I'm fascinated by this woman.

Aren't you going to say something?

It's fine. I wasn't expecting it, anyway.

What's this doing in here?

There's an ongoing investigation, Alma.

The evidence says you and your friend

were the last people who saw Brenda alive,

so you'll need to make a statement.

I have nothing to hide.

What happened with him has nothing to do with Brenda's death.

In the worst-case scenario, my infidelity will be revealed.

And you think that's not a problem?

This is not just a matter of being unfaithful.

It's about your family too,

my brother's career, your career.

Do you think I should tell Leo?

That decision is yours.

They only thing I can do is try to keep you out of the investigation.

- I have to go to the university. - Alma.

You really won't see that guy again?

No, I told you.

I'll talk to him, I promise.

Leonardo loves you.

I know.

And...

Forget it.

The gender-based violence alert issued in 27 states of our country

is huge progress.

But it will have no real effect

unless it's implemented by mechanisms that include a women's perspective.

Leonardo.

We'll finish on the plane, Edith.

I still have to go and pack.

I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's wise for me to come along.

I need you with me.

But, Leonardo...

No buts, Edith. It's decided.

We're going to Guadalajara, and Alma can think whatever she wants.

- You won't tell her the truth? - When we come back.

When we come back, this...

ridiculous situation will be over.

Rosalba.

Where did this come from?

Oh, yeah.

Is that your father?

Did you put this in my mom's room?

No.

I thought you'd placed it there.

The most dangerous place for women is their own home.

More than half of murdered women are killed at home,

either by their partners or by their closest relatives.

And, yes,

more men are murdered than women, but...

What's shocking today is this,

men are killed by strangers,

whereas us women are usually killed

by the people who love us the most.

Forget about my reasons.

Married or not, I'm here. That's what matters.

You sound different when you talk about me

than when you talk about her.

What do you mean?

First of all, my marriage...

Is an advantage for you.

Something that makes this more interesting.

But her situation bothers you.

It seems to bothers both of us.

You're wrong about that.

I'm a free spirit.

I can fall in love, fall out of love, get married, divorced.

Have a lover.

Even two.

But you, honey...

Look at yourself in the mirror.

Look how old you are, Esteban.

You could never make a life with a woman.

Did you sleep with him?

Is that your husband?

Yes, go.

Go!

Where were you?

I was thinking that when one's time is up, it's up, and one just dies.

Such a poet.

Let's talk inside.

Morning.

Excuse me.

NO TRESPASSING

Can you manage?

Hey.

Excuse me.

Do you think I'm an idiot?

What?

"Animus." Who is that?

This is a lame joke.

How old are you, Karina?

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know who that guy is.

For fuck's sake.

He even likes the same websites as me.

The memento mori pictures, the unsolved crimes.

Even 1000 Ways To Die.

You're paranoid, I mean it.

Karina, I don't like women. I thought we're clear on that.

You're not hot enough for me to stalk you...

So?

Who the hell is Animus and why is he texting you?

ALMA CALLING

What are you doing, asshole?

This is a crime scene. Come on.

It's not, there was no crime.

Brenda Castillo killed herself.

- How? - Look.

I know what I am telling you.

And why I'm telling you this.

Yesterday, you were so interested in investigating

and knowing who the owner of the belt we found was, right?

That guy had nothing to do with the suicide.

"Guy." How do you know it was a "guy"?

All I can tell you

is that two women that are very dear to me could be seen as less than honorable.

Close the case, asshole.

To honor those two women.

Do it as a personal favor to me.

One of them is a married woman.

HELLO...

ANIMUS?

IS THAT YOU?

- Alma. - Leonardo.

- I'm going to the airport. I called... - Where are you going?

Guadalajara.
