"Brethren, let us lift up our hands to heaven, to praise God our Father who loves us and hears us." ""I am God's child." "I am the Lord's child"." "Louder!" "Feel it!" "Save me, sister." "Save me, beloved saint, save me." "Save me, save me." "I can feel my legs." "I can feel my legs!" "It's a miracle!" "I can feel my legs." "Let us give thanks to the Lord God." "Can you walk, ma'am?" "I can." "It's a miracle!" "A miracle!" "Praise the Lord!" "Dad wants us to have dinner on Friday." "He's trying to make it up to me, but I said no." "I'll make him take me to the most expensive place in town, and give him a piece of my mind." "I swear I'll make his life miserable from now on." "It's not fair." "Why are all men like that?" "They're such womanizers." "I'll kill Daniel if he ever cheats on me." "Listen honey," "I've been looking into some American colleges, and other countries as well, and I thought you might want to go to one of them." "Of course not." "Are you crazy?" "Why not?" "You've always wanted to study abroad." "Forget it Teresa, not now that I found Mister Right." "I think Daniel is anything but Mister Right." "Teresa, why do you always talk about Daniel like that?" "Who cares if he's older and your student and all that?" "What's wrong with that?" "You claim to be an open-minded, modern mom and look at you." "I know you'll like him when you get to know him." "I have to go." " At least look at the brochures." " Later, mom." "Can you help me?" "Our saint has done even bigger miracles." "It's all about faith, deputy." "Faith." "Here's my faith." "You'll get four times that if you save my daughter." "But if you make a fool of me, you'll pay for it." "That is where it all started." "God saved her from death to help His children." "Go back to your daughter, and pray hard." "I'm paying your saint to do the praying for me." "Every single pattern is broken by what factor?" "The human factor." "People's reactions are unpredictable." "Our job is not to fix people's lives, but to give them the tools they need to do so." "Most of our inmates were pushed into crime." "Many of them kill in self-defense, when they're fed up of the abuse they or their kids face." "Then what happens to these broken families, and their kids that grow up alone, with no other example but the mistreatment they've experienced?" "They do the same thing." "They do what they've seen all their lives." "That is where the vicious circle begins." "And that is what we need to break." "That's all for today." "Thanks." "Take care." " Can we talk, Daniel?" " Sorry, I'm busy." "We have to talk." "Are you going to make me an unseemly proposal?" "Stay away from Andrea." "You just said we can't make decisions for other people." "Who are you to decide for your daughter who is of age?" "I swear if you go near Andrea again, you'll know who you're dealing with." "There's more to know about you, apart from your double standards?" "That you're a manipulator, and that you suck in bed?" "Excuse me." "I understand, Joel." "I know what you're going through, but that's exactly why you need to try even harder." "Although we're not here in the sales department, but in accounting, we need to look our best." "Just look at you." "Our job is all about our attitude." "Who's going to look after your job if you don't?" "Nobody, sir." "I know and I'm sorry." "But, please don't fire me." "I promise I'll change." "Give me another chance." "You've been one of my best employees." "That is the only reason I'm giving you another chance." "Cheer up." "Hello." "I have good news." "I'm right outside." "I'm waiting." "I'll be right there." "Good morning, my friend." "How are you doing buddy?" "I have very good news for you." "We talked to the judge and he agreed to do it." "He also said how much it would cost." "You know what I mean, right?" "All he wants is 80,000 pesos." "I know it's a lot of money, but that's the last payment, buddy." "Eighty thousand?" "That's cheap, buddy." "Where am I going to get that kind of money?" "I don't know." "But this is the last payment and the judge himself says your wife will be freed in a month." "And there's even more good news my friend." "It doesn't have to be right now." "We have three months to pay." "Sometimes I'm so stressed out I can't breathe." "I feel like there's a rock on my chest." "My cousin had dreams that came true." "What if that's my case?" "What if my dream means that Joel is going to die?" "I'm not questioning your cousin's psychic powers, but she is wrong this time, your dream means something else." "What?" "You're angry." "When we dream that someone we love dies, it's because we're mad at that person, even if we don't admit it." "I don't hate my husband." "I love him." "I didn't talk about hate." "I talked about anger, which is different." "But Joel is so good to me." "Why would I be mad at him?" "Maybe because you're paying for a crime you didn't commit." "Being in here is a lot tougher than you ever thought." "I already told you I ran over that crazy woman." "Joel didn't do it." "Repeating a lie won't make it true." "Sofía," "I need to know what causes your anxiety to treat it." "We need to explore your deepest feelings." "Not the ones you're comfortable with." "No." "I love my husband and I won't betray him." "He will get me out of here and we'll be just fine." "Have you spoken to Joel lately?" "Don't work so hard." "What's your problem, idiot?" "Watch your mouth." "Stop yelling." "Stop yelling." "Get out of here." "Our Negra is finally getting some work done." "Help me pick this up, Magos." "You're doing just fine." "Why didn't you come yesterday?" "Don't you love me anymore?" "Don't talk like that, baby." "You know I never stop thinking about you." "Things are a little tight here at the office." "We'd better talk next week." "Next week?" "Yes honey, this Sunday we're working on the inventory." "What's the matter?" "Nothing, I just have something important to tell you." "What is it?" "I'd rather tell you personally." "I think I'm pregnant." "You have to get me out of here." "Please get me out of here." "Don't worry about it, honey." "I'll find a way, I swear." "I promise I'll do whatever it takes to get you out of there." "Please, calm down." "I love you." "José." "Meet Arturo Lara, a policeman I've known all my life." "He's helping me with Guadalupe's case." "As I was saying, they screwed her real good." "They fabricated a statement with her fingerprint on it." "She was also holding the gun, and the gunpowder test was positive." "And as you said, her husband is his attorney's lover." "That's not all." "His wife was a compulsive gambler." "She lost her house in a casino." "That could have been his motive." "A compulsive gambler married to a gay man." "That's what I call a happy marriage." "We have to make the husband confess somehow." "That's the only way to help Guadalupe." "Yes, Liliana?" "Thanks." "Zaide will be released." "Isn't there enough evidence against her?" "How much did the judge charge to let her go?" "I can't believe it." "They release someone involved in human trafficking, but don't hesitate to condemn one that's obviously innocent." "So much for our justice system." "We have to make him confess." "Look at my new boobs, Magos." "What you need to fix is your face, dear." "Who's the sexiest babe now, Colombian?" "You are the sexiest babe in here, mamacita." "No matter how big your boobs are, that face of yours is scary." "Why do some women get such huge boobs?" "But of course, sweetie, us girls would do anything to improve nature." "How would you know?" "It's all been paid for, sweetheart, the whole thing." "Cut out that nonsense or La Negra will have a fit." "Get back to work." "I've had enough." "I've had enough, dad." "I don't want to see anyone." "I'm so tired." "You'll be fine, princess." "I swear you'll get better, and we'll do everything we planned." "Here is our saint." "She'll pray for her." "What is her name?" "Esther." "Nothing high or deep or anything else in creation can separate you from God's love, because God is in you." "The pain is gone, dad." "Trust in God with all your heart, and He will clear the way, open every pathway." "My God." "The pain is gone." "Go my sister." "The road is clear." "Don't leave me, Esther." "Don't leave me." "Save her, and I swear I will give you everything I own." "Spread them, Magos." "Bye." "Your nails, Colombian." "Spread your legs." "Bye." "Arms up." " Be outside in an hour." " Arms up, I said." "Go." "Spread your legs, arms up!" "I love watching you play like a kid." "We need to talk, Andrea." "Tell me what you were like when you were a kid." "Well I was home on weekdays, with a nanny, because my mom worked." "And on weekends," "I sat in front of the park all day having ice-cream." "So you loved ice-cream?" "No, I hated it." "But my dad didn't know what to do with me, so he bought me all the ice-cream he could find." "I never dared to tell him I hated it." "She died peacefully." "God knows best." "You said your saint would save her, and I paid you." "Don't worry about your money." "I'll get it for you." "Where is your friend?" "Don't play dumb with me." "Where is that bitch?" "Are you telling me or not?" "Hello." "Call my cop friend." "Yes, right now." "What's up, buddy?" "Is it done?" "What do you think?" "You said my wife would be released today." "Those bastards changed the rules again." "What bastards?" "First they say one thing, then they say another." "Now they want another 15,000 pesos." "What?" "Don't look at me like that, it's not for me." "You know what it's like." "There are lots of hands to grease." "This is the fifth time." "I need my wife out today." "I'm working on it, buddy." "I don't even have time to have lunch at home." "Are you making fun of me?" "Calm down." "I know how you feel." "This is the last time, I swear, and I'll get her out." "Honest." "What if I don't have it?" "Then your wife will do at least five years," "I swear to God." "Damn it." "You can do it." "It's just 15 thousand." "What are you up to, Lorena?" "You know I don't want them to see us talking." "Who's putting drugs in those bras?" "What drugs?" "You're crazy." "No I'm not crazy, and it's a very nice job." "Those are design drugs." "Show me your hands, white girl." "And mind your own business." "I'm telling, Negra." "In ten minutes all the women will know about it." "And in 15, it'll reach the director's ears." "You've been warned." "Lorena." "I'm begging you, please don't do it." "Who's behind it?" "Is it Federico?" "I just carry out my orders to look after the stuff." "And tons of money." "Is Teresa Lagos in it too?" "I said I don't know." "Federico gave me this job." "That's all I know." "Come on, Lorena." "What do we care?" "Our little business is more than enough, right?" "You'll keep quiet, right?" "Thank you honey." "I knew I could count on you." "Sure, I'll let you know as soon as I'm back in business." "Yes, meanwhile I'll send you a bottle of brandy." "No, how about two bottles of brandy?" "Thanks." "Kisses you know where." "Gate." "It's okay." "Guess what, honey?" "I'm getting out of here." "Are you having me killed for biting your ear?" "Don't worry about it." "No hard feelings." "If you're not too old when you get out, call me." "I'd teach you all about bondage." "You'd be great at it." "Some of my clients love crazy bimbos like you." "Are you hungry?" "No, thanks." "I need to finish this paper." "I had like seven orgasms." "I just know you found my G spot." "Did you ever have it that good with any other girl?" "I'm boring you, aren't I?" "No, you're not boring me." "I just have to finish this paper or I'll get flunked." "Don't worry about it." "I'll tell mom to give you an A." "Being her daughter's boyfriend has it's benefits, right?" " Hi." " Hi, may I?" "Don't be silly, Santiago." "Pour yourself a drink." "I'm good, thank you." "Where are the girls?" "Ruth is spending the night at a friend's, and Andrea isn't back yet." "What a shame." "I really wanted to see them." "Andrea is really mad at me." "The girls adore you Santiago, and Andrea will get over it." "Is she still seeing that student of yours?" "Isn't it shocking?" "I mean she's all grown up all of a sudden." "We didn't even see it coming." "How are you doing back at Capadocia?" "Everything's okay." "How about you?" "I'm fine too." "We're working on the campaign, planning our tours." "My only regret is that I won't have a lot of time to be with the girls." "I heard from the court." "We are now officially divorced." "That calls for a celebration, right?" "I forgot how cute you look holding a baby." "Hi, Teresa." "How are you?" "Hi, José." "Hi, Santiago." "I'll be right back." "I'm giving them back to you." "You are pregnant alright." "Why haven't you seen the doctor?" "What are you going to do?" "What do you mean?" "I'll get fat and have my baby." "In here?" "Joel's doing everything he can to get me out of here." "I hope so, because babies get all screwed up in here." "They pick up the bad vibes." "It's like putting a sponge in a mud pit, think about it." "So what do I do?" "Pray hard to this saint." "Ask her to protect you and your baby." "Permission to invoke the blessed spirit of death." "Help us and protect us from all evil." "Protect this baby and his mother." "Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee." "Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus." "How is it going, Joel?" "It's going good." "I think I'll be done in 30 minutes." "Okay, I have to go." "Lock up, please." "Listen." "Do you know when I'll get my overtime money?" "We don't do overtime in this company." "That's why you're not required to do any." "But it's a way to show your commitment to the firm." "See you tomorrow." "Right." "I'll leave these here." "Thanks." "I forgot my keys." "See you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow." "You're longing to feel it move, right?" "How many months?" "Just one." "You have a long way to go." "My daughter is the best thing that ever happened to me." "What?" "I ask myself why too." "What do you ask yourself?" "The same thing you're been wondering." "How could this murderous wretch tell you how great it is to be a mom?" "But I'm a great mom." "My precious baby "Sololoy"." "That's how I called her." "I don't even know what Sololoy meant." "But that's how I called her." "Congratulations." "This is great, Federico." "We've got a lot of orders for our bras." "But make it the last time a bra spills its contents in the workshop." "Who told you that, boss?" "What does it matter who told me?" "All that matters is, that if anyone discovers what's in the bras," "it's all over for us." "Don't worry." "That'll never happen." "Daniel is going out with Andrea just to get back at me." "What are you going to do?" "I spoke with him and he said to stay out of it, that it's up to them." "Strictly speaking, he is right." "Burián, I need my friend now, not the shrink." "You have both at your disposal." "What if I tell Andrea that Daniel and I were lovers?" "She'd be your worst enemy." "Yes, but my daughter cannot be going out with him." " Why not?" " He is toying with her, that's why." "Andrea is of age." "As her mother, you'd be putting her against the wall." "If you tell her about you and him, you'll ruin her self-esteem." "Hi there, shrink." "Hi." "I was just leaving." "See you." " Hi, mom." " Hi, Andrea." "I'm working on Guadalupe's case." "Call me before you go to bed." "I'm so happy mom." "Remember when I first had my period?" "You said I could trust you and tell you anything?" "Sure." "Can you do me a favor?" "Sure, honey." "Can you take me to the gynecologist?" "I don't want to get pregnant or anything." "May I?" "Get on your knees, you heretic." "She's a very miraculous saint." "She's the local saint." "Please!" "It's true, I used to have these awful migraines." "Then I prayed to her and she cured me." "You're so full of it." "I swear to God." "They say she even cures cancer and men's prostate issues." "Praise the Lord." "Praise the Lord." "Hi." "We need to talk." "Is there somewhere we can go?" "With one condition." "As long as it's here." "Look Daniel," "I know you're mad at me, but you're messing with what I love most in life, and I won't let you." "No?" "So what will you do?" "Whatever it takes to keep you away from her." "I didn't go after her to begin with, and you can't stop us from going steady." "She is just a kid." "No, she is not a kid." "She is my daughter." "Wait." "There is something you can do to make me leave her." "Take me back." "I love you." "Don't touch me." "Who is it?" "Hi honey, it's me, Andrea." "Buzz me in." "Hi, Andrea." "I miss you so much I can't wait until this afternoon to see you." "I'm on my way out." "Come out on the balcony." "What's up?" "I want you to make love to me." "I want to make love to you too." "But I really have to go." "I'll be right down." "It's funny the gate's closed today." "You were lucky." "Lock the door." "What?" "You owe me one." "What a jerk!" " Who was that?" " A friend." "The boss wants to see you." "You wanted to see me, sir?" " Is that him?" " That's him alright." "Police." "What's going on here?" "You were caught on tape." "Where's the money?" "I needed the money to get my wife out of jail." "I only took 15,000 pesos." "There was more than half a million pesos in the safe." "Where is the money, Joel?" "I swear I only took 15,000." "Please let me explain." "Take him away." "Please don't do this, sir." " You're coming with us." " I'm sorry." "Where are you taking me?" "I'll pay you whatever you want." "Don't lock me up, please." "Let go of me." "My client and I are here in a gesture of good faith." "Would you please be brief, Mrs. Lagos?" "Certainly." "We can't tell you how sorry we are." "The autopsy showed that your wife was pregnant." "That can't be true." "No?" "This case is closed." "The maid shot my client's wife." "We need a motive." "That's your job, not mine." "It was nice to see you again." "We know perfectly well that Germán killed his wife, after she lost the house in a gambling bet." "That's a lie." " It's your fault." " Me?" "Yes, you couldn't be together openly with her alive." "Watch your mouth, sir." "I hope you can prove what you're saying." "What is this?" "Germán, if you confess, you'll get 15 to 20 years, of which you'd do seven or eight." "I did not kill her." " Guadalupe says you did." " She is nuts." "She says you fired the gun, then wiped it clean, put it in her hands and fired." "That's a lie." "How much money did you take?" "Fifteen thousand pesos." "There was more than 500,000 in the safe." "Yes, there was, but I only took 15,000 which is all I needed to get my wife out of jail." "So it runs in the family." "My wife is in jail because of a car crash." "She accidentally killed somebody, but that's not the point." "I swear I only took 15,000." "Why don't you watch the tape?" "He's on the tape opening the safe, then he switched the lights off." "Address?" "The woman is in bad shape." "We can't process her like that." "She can't even give a statement." "Let me talk to him." "All hell will break loose if that woman walks." "You know I know stuff that could bury you!" "I don't care about that." "That wretch killed my child, that's what she did." "Alright, hold on." "Seventy-five years?" "At least." "This is first-degree murder, conspiring to commit a crime, and lying to a police officer." "Is this true?" "That lying Indian bitch!" "The best thing you can do is confess." "If we show the judge Guadalupe's statement, you're going down as an accessory." "I didn't mean to kill her." "It was an accident." " Hey, kid." " What?" "Get Sofía." "Open up, Pecas." "Come with me." "Guess what?" "They arrested your husband for robbery." "What?" "No, that's not true." "He is no thief." "Take it easy kid." "Why are you telling me this?" "I stay out of trouble." "Your husband Joel Miranda was arrested for robbing 500,000 pesos from his employer." "That's not true." "Why are you telling me this?" "Be quiet." "You're cuter when you're quiet." "Get back to work." "Open up, Pecas." "Clara Almazán." "You're in for fraud." "Walk down the red line to the next check point." "Are you deaf?" "Fill out the form." "Take it easy sis." "That's the local saint." "A saint?" "Strip." "You're going to hell." "Get that cross." "Take it all off." "I don't get it, Daniel." "I go over to your place to make love and you say no?" "I told you I'm busy." "I'll do anything you say, whatever you want." "I know I suck in bed, but I want to learn." "That has nothing to do with it." "I just want you to take some time to think about it, about whether this is what's best for us, and if you really want me, because I'm much older than you." "This is because mom is your teacher, right?" "She has nothing to do with it." "Then please let me try." "I love you very much." "I don't care what you say." "I love all you girls." "All you cute dolls." "Sir, would you mind paying your bill now?" "What the hell!" "Here, goddamn it!" "Come my sweet, enjoy life." "Life is so short." "To Joel and to hell with all the other fools out there." "I had the weirdest dream." "I'm sitting there with Andrea, but not exactly together." "Daniel was there too." "He's holding something in his hands, some kind of fabric." "It's like a sheet, but it turns into a gush of blood." "It's funny how we are all about blood, from the moment of birth to the moment of death." "When we give birth." "When we have our first period, lose our virginity." "Every 28 days." "Aren't you going to interpret my dream?" "You just did." "Have you seen Daniel?" "I went to his place this morning." "Andrea came over and she almost caught us." "I'm losing it." "There's really nothing you can do." "Do you expect me to sit here and do nothing?" "If you push Daniel, he'll tell her you were lovers." "He will go over the edge, and destroy you and your child." "I can't do this alone." "I need your help." "Yes?" "Show her in." "It's the local saint." "He is the man who obtained wisdom and knowledge." "She's autistic." "What have you done, Sofía?" "Help!" "Help me." "Do something, fast!" "Get some towels, hurry." "Autism among females is very rare." "There's only one to every four men." "We need you at the infirmary." "It's urgent." "She is bleeding to death." "They need me at the infirmary." "She stuck something in her." " Is she dead?" " I don't know." "We're losing her." "She has to be transferred." "She isn't dead." "She's back doctor." "Hi, Federico." "I want you to send me that young woman, the one that killed Judge Cedeño's daughter." "That's the one." "Send her over tonight." "I want her here at my hotel this evening." "Good." " What's with her?" " She doesn't know she's dead." "What's so funny?" "She is one of the 1985 survivors." "One of the what?" "Can't you Colombians read, or watch the news?" "I don't watch the news, and I don't read either." "At 7: 19 a.m., September 19th, a quake struck Mexico City." "In 1985." "A lot of people died." "My sister and her family were on a sidewalk, they were crushed to death by a building." "What does all that have to do with Blondie?" "Didn't you hear about the babies at that clinic?" "You were just a kid." "Juarez Hospital collapsed." "Only some newly born babies survived." "They found them after a week." "She was under the debris for a week?" "They were the only survivors." "So they say they were touched by God, and that she is a miraculous saint." " No wonder her face froze." " Don't be mean." " Watch it, Lorena." " You don't make fun of saints." " That's right." " It's dangerous." "Why are you here?" "You're going back to your mom, baby." "And now you need to sleep." "That's it, that's it." "What is it we saw at the infirmary?" "Catalepsy?" "A miracle." "I'm serious." "So am I." "How did the saint know Sofía was cataleptic?" "It's a miracle." "You're not kidding?" "Of course not." "Dad was the most skeptical priest that lived." "He balked at any little thing being called a miracle." "But he said we needed to accept it, and recognize the fact that we really know nothing." "So you admit the woman can perform miracles?" "Today I saw something I can't explain." "You can call it anything you want." "Come on." "Let's go." "Where are you going?" "I don't know." "Is it Cristóbal?" "If it's him, be careful, he's a mean son of a bitch." "You hear?" "He sent you a little something." "This is a smart move." "You'll move up fast now." "Have a drag." "Go right up there, all the way to the top." "Well, well, well, there you are." "You're pretty, and a little classy to boot." "I like you." "And you are Cristóbal." "Pretty, classy, and a bitch." "That's great." "How did you know there are drugs in the bras?" "Because I'm a chemist, and I've become very mistrustful, but it's an ingenuous way to export bras." "I call it keeping up appearances." "Why don't you run the drug business in there?" "We'll supply you with it, you'd keep 20%." "What's so funny?" "Fifty-fifty." "I love women like you." "Okay, 70-30." "Take it or leave it." "50-50." "Alright, alright, but now let's have some fun." "The Colombian used to go to your place." "Has she complained?" "Why did you send her back?" "What's a gorgeous woman like her to do in the streets?" "She could be raped, or even killed just like you." "Come closer." "Go on." "The good thing about being born rich, is you get to pick who you sleep with." "My grandma used to say I was born to be a queen, and queens, even if they're from hell, choose what to do with their royal cunts." "I know what you're thinking." "You're stronger." "You'd get me drunk, and then have your way with me." "But don't forget I've killed twice already." "For much less than this." "Cheers." "She's alive." "So you're leaving." "You're a pain in the neck anyway." "You never let me sleep." "Okay." "Come here." "That's it." "Just go." "What happened?" "They finally realized my boss stole most of the money." "But I'm still charged with stealing the other 15,000." "I promise everything will be fine." "Please don't cry." "You're making me feel bad." "I love you." "I love you too." "Bye, baby." "Guadalupe." "Give us a smile." "You'll soon be with your baby all the time." "You are free." "Free, you're going back home." "Ignacio." "Yes?" "Hello." "Damn it!" "Daniel?" "What do you want?" "We need to talk." "I do not believe in rewards and punishments, but in consequences." "You are playing with fire." "This is Teresa's idea, right?" "She doesn't know I'm here." "You're sleeping with both mother and daughter, and there are consequences to be faced." "You were lucky to have Teresa." "Don't do this to her." "She left me because of you." "She loves you." "She is a smart woman, who knew when it was time to leave." "I'll go straight to the point." " Leave Andrea alone or..." " Or what?" "Or face the consequences."
