El Candidato

Come on. Get up.

Second call.

Hey, come on, get up.

Here.

See you later?

If you turn off that crap before you go, yes.

-I love you. -I love you too.

Hello.

Hey. Hold on.

Tabasco is in the worst mood.

He's driving Torito nuts.

Can you let him off leash for a bit?

-Of course, ma'am. -Thank you.

Bye.

Stop.

Hello, my dear.

Hi.

How are you?

Good, you?

Good.

Schnitzel. Schnitzi!

Come here, come.

Hey, could you give Schnitzel his snack?

Yes, of course.

Don't bring him back starving like the other day.

Goodbye, my love! Who's a handsome dog?

Goodbye, precious.

Have a great time, sweetie.

If only someone would love me like that.

-Bye. -Bye.

Hi, Pamela. Come in, please.

Thanks.

Paco, come on, boy.

-Paquito. -Sit.

How have you been?

Good, thanks. And you, ma'am?

Don't call me "ma'am." It's Karen.

-Okay? -Yes.

Come on, Paco. Have a good day.

-Tire him out for me, please. -Yes, of course.

Karen.

Let's go.

Bye, Paco!

THE CANDIDATE

-Thanks, Ofe. -Lalo.

Honey...

Are you seeing Saldaña today?

Why?

I spoke with Fer.

Her son's got himself into trouble.

Sebas. Do you remember him?

Well, someone started a rumor,

a girl threatened him with going to the police,

saying that he harassed her.

Can you believe it?

Fer didn't want me to mention it, but...

Well, if nothing happened,

there's nothing to worry about.

Honey, he just got into the Institute of Technology.

Even though nothing happened, Fer is worried it might damage him.

Okay.

-Bye, darling. -Thanks.

Bye, Ofe!

Goodbye, Lalo.

We're highly confident that Natalia Portillo

manages Bautista's money,

but none of her shell companies lead us clearly back to the cartel.

So, how do we get to her?

Her dog walker.

Pamela Hierro.

She's not loyal, like the maid or the bodyguard.

She has direct access to the house

because Natalia is obsessed with her dog.

And NSA hacked her texts.

We know she needs money for her girlfriend's medical treatment.

Promising. Recruitment plan?

Already in progress.

She's a natural.

Good job. One more thing.

Those photos Bautista texted you...

Bautista, if he wanted me dead, you know,

I'd be in a body bag already.

He knows it's no muy bueno for business,

killing Americans.

No, it was the Navy guys who needed to worry,

and I already let Romero know.

Okay. Good luck.

So?

How's it going with Lalo?

We're having dinner tonight.

Veronica invited me.

If anything fun happens, I want pictures.

Sure, if you pay me.

While you're there,

I want you to bring up "Breaking Walls."

The art exhibit?

Lalo's office has been calling Cultural Affairs all week.

They want help with coordinating logistics.

That's where you come in.

Okay.

Anything else?

Yeah, just...

All you gotta do is screw it in.

Now...

I gotta go to my man Coco's memorial service, so...

That's a little touchy-feely.

I'm only going for the vulnerable women.

What are you doing here?

The COS conference.

Wayne, can we talk?

No.

We know the Northern Federation is working with sicarios

and the city's criminal groups to find Bautista.

We'll give you everything you need.

-Thank you, sir. -Thank you.

Carlos, do you have a minute?

Yes, of course.

Has anything reached your office about a Sebastián Sotelo?

Vero and his mom have been friends since kindergarten.

What do you want to know?

All I know is that there's a defamation campaign against him.

No, nothing yet.

It's a thing with a girl from his college.

What's it about?

Harassment?

Gang rape.

You're kidding.

Who else is involved?

Three of Sotelo's friends.

One of them is Raúl Ponce's nephew.

Jesus.

If you get involved with this,

his uncle will throw newspapers, stories and a whole shitstorm at you.

Do you think the rape happened?

There's no physical evidence, and the girl isn't cooperating.

To make things even worse,

the dad went and waited outside the guys' school to make them confess,

so now they're accusing him of harassment.

Frankly, it's a total mess, Lalo.

I want to meet the girl's father.

Hey, boy.

-We said 300, right? -Yes.

Would you like a coffee or something?

No, thank you. I'm in a hurry.

Are you listening to Coppélia?

Are you a dancer or something?

No one ever recognizes this.

Thanks. I took classes when I was young.

Me too,

but I used to hyperextend my knees

and the teacher hated me.

For me, the challenge was being en pointe.

The company I work for...

gives us tickets for the city ballet.

Would you like to go?

No, I couldn't.

Please, I insist.

That's really nice of you.

Anyway, I gotta go.

Is everything okay?

Yes, I have to meet a friend.

She's been waiting all day to see the doctor.

-Where? -Coapa.

How are you getting there?

Well, by bus.

It'll take forever to get there by bus.

I'm heading south anyway. Let me take you.

No, I couldn't.

Look, it's no problem.

We can listen to the end of Coppélia in the car.

I'll be right back.

Nice rod.

Compensating?

Who the fuck are you?

A friend of Coco's.

Where is La Gemela?

Honey.

Who's she?

A client, she gave me a ride.

Karen, this is Mónica, my friend.

Nice to meet you.

I've been waiting 6 hours.

They said it'd be 20 minutes, but...

If you want, I can ask what's going on, okay?

Thank you.

Excuse me.

How long will it be before you can see Miss Mónica Sánchez?

An hour.

Thanks.

They say it's gonna be at least three hours.

What, three more hours?

I have a friend who works in a hospital near here.

I'm sure he'll see us.

Why don't we go?

No, thank you. We're fine.

Mon, you have to see a doctor.

Yes, thank you. Let's go.

Blessed are you among all women.

Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of...
