And as the saying goes there is no evil that lasts a hundred years breaking news, the dangerous criminal has been arrested víctor dávila, alias el tiburón. Along with him, his wife has been arrested, julia papas, alias la leona.
The discovery of a young woman was also made who, it is presumed, they had kidnapped and in very bad conditions. She was the target of beatings, tortures.
Although the alleged criminals insist that she is their daughter, that will be clarified by the authorities. We will continue to report.
In other news... We had to give the girl a sedative to be able to transfer her and perform the pertinent physical studies and psychological studies.
Was it necessary, doctor? Well, what did she do when they came to rescue her?
She didn't allow anyone to touch her, she hardly spoke. I can say that we found her in a wild state.
Unbelievable. And after examining her, what could you find, doctor?
She has a high degree of malnutrition and perhaps that would be the least important thing, she has multiple injuries all over her body. Cigarette burns, cuts made with a knife and severe contusions.
That's inhuman. Yes, she lived something inhuman.
Who could have done all that to her? It was her own parents.
Doctor, how? Yes, doctor, it was her parents.
It turns out that the detainees were her real parents, if they can even be called that. Apparently, the woman gave birth in the worst conditions.
They didn't even register her, she has no name, her exact age is unknown. Also, they rarely let her go out on the street.
You know? They never took her to school.
She only knows that they call her la china. It's going to be quite a challenge to bring her to our shelter.
Are you the new one? What's up?
I'm la meche, the top dog of the shelter. What?
What's your name? I'm talking to you.
Did the cat get your tongue, or what? Say something, little girl.
I'm talking to you. Look me in the eyes when i talk to you.
I asked you what your name is. Where are you going?
No, what do you have there? - let's see, what do you have there?
- it's mine. No, no, no, all the new ones always give me what i ask them for.
It was. Both scream - let go of her, let go of her!
- take it away from me, take it away from me! Women scream what's going on?
- are you okay? - screams - what did she do to you?
Are you okay? - oh, let go of me.
Where did they get this savage from? She's uglier than a cavewoman, she's crazier.
Screams madam director. Girls, greet the madam director.
How are you, how are you? This kata is the shangyi.
You have to keep practicing it, okay? Tell me, how can i help you?
Oh, saori, excuse me for interrupting your class, but i need to talk to you. Of course, i'll finish my class and then i'll go look for you in your office.
No, it needs to be now. Okay.
Adriana, keep practicing, i'll be right back. Let's go.
Since she never went to school, she barely knows how to read and write. You could say that she doesn't even have the most basic knowledge and no social skills.
And how can i help her with that? China is a very special case, saori.
She has to channel all that negative energy she has in order to learn to control her violent impulses. She arrived just a few days ago and she is completely isolated from the rest of the girls.
She must be scared to death and that makes her aggressive, distrustful. That's right, but if we manage to calm her down, gain her trust, then we can educate her, cultivate her.
We can even look for an adoptive family for her later on. But look, for now, the important thing, the urgent thing is that she stops being a beast.
Madam director, if you believe that incorporating her into my martial arts classes, that can help her in any way, i will gladly include her. Yes, but look, i would rather that right now you don't include her with other students, rather i want you to give your class only to her.
He's right, the others could be at risk. I want you to use all your knowledge and skills to make la china someone who, despite the hard past she lived through, can be part of society.
I promise that i will give my best effort and very soon la china will be a girl with a great future and with a name. Oh, yes.
My name is saori, i am of japanese origin, but i have been living here in mexico for a long time and i teach martial arts here at the shelter. I'm going to teach you how to defend yourself.
I already know how to defend myself. Wow, you do speak.
I speak when i want to and i don't need anyone to teach me how to fight, i already know. I didn't tell you that i'm going to teach you how to fight, but to defend yourself, it's not the same.
With me you will learn that you don't have to be fighting all the time for everything and that way you will have time to learn what really matters, living. To live you have to fight to the death, that's what el tiburón says.
When am i going to see them again? Him and my mom.
They went to prison, you won't be able to see them anymore. So what?
Am i going to be here forever? That depends on you.
If you let me help you, very soon some family could adopt you, wouldn't you like that? So they can hit me and mistreat me?
I'd rather stay here. You didn't have the best parents, but you can make your life better.
Let me help you heal your heart and your body. Will you let me?
Trust. Well, then, here it says that your name is aiko.
- aiko. - aiko.
Saori gave it to me, it's of japanese origin. Ah, and does it mean something?
Yes, it means beloved daughter. Oh, very good.
Uh, did you say you're adopted? Uh, yes.
Well, saori is currently in charge of my guardianship, but we are already seeing the adoption procedures and well, for me she is already like my mom. Ah, and i also read that you're studying high school, but you're older now, aren't you?
You should be graduating from high school or something. Yes, i'm behind.
I started late, but thanks to saori and my teachers i'm getting ahead. Ah, and did you study martial arts?
Uh, something like that? Yes, saori taught me, i'm already a black belt.
It turned out i was very good. Well, perfect, enough said, you're hired.
You're exactly what i need to be my daughter's nanny. I urgently need someone who can take care of her, but if you can also protect her, all the better.
Protect her from whom? From the girl's father.
We're separated and i have custody. He's a dangerous man and i'm very afraid that at some point he might want to...
I don't know, steal her from me, you know. I understand.
For me, aitana is absolutely everything. She means everything, i do everything for her.
But well, anyway. So, we're set, you're hired.
Can you pour me a little more vodka? The bar is right around the corner.
Ah, yes. Hired?
Shouldn't i first see your daughter to see if we get along? Oh, please, the girl won't be any trouble.
Look, she's docile, she's friendly. Eh, well, she does have a little problem, i mean...
What? Eh, let's say my daughter is a little...
That she has autism. But just a little, huh?
I mean, just a little thing. I mean, she's not one of those autistic kids who throw themselves on the floor and hit themselves.
Nor one of those gifted kids who will graduate from university at the age of 12, no. Let's say she's a normal autistic.
But... Well, that's all.
You do know what autism is, right? Yes, of course, i don't think i'll have a problem with that.
Wonderful. So, will you bring me the vodka?
You do know what vodka is, right? Honey.
Oh, honey. Honey, look, this is aiko and she's your new nanny.
Hello, aitana, nice to meet you. Well, that's just how she is, huh?
Don't take it personally. But, well, you'll get used to it.
I have to go now, i have to go to my plastic surgeon, they're going to do some touch-ups, i'll tell you later. - i'll leave you here, behave yourself...
- yes... What?
Look, anything you need, call me on the phone. I'm leaving you the number written down.
But don't bother me right now. I'll leave you here.
See you later. I also really like to read.
Well, i learned when i was older, but it was one of the things saori taught me. Since then, well, i can't stop...
I can't stop reading. Let's see...
Sorry. Excuse me, i didn't mean to bother you.
I don't like being touched either. In fact, it was very difficult for me to look people in the eye and...
And talk and that kind of thing. You talk too much.
Ah. Sorry.
It's just that i was silent for a very long time. Sighs aitana...
I'm going to take care of you. Sighs what does the new nanny look like?
Man well, pretty good, but... Well, she's too young.
I'd say she's lower middle class. I don't think she's going to give us any problems.
We have to investigate everything about the nanny. Then we'll get closer little by little.
She can give us the weapons to take away selene's parental rights and thus stay with my daughter through legal means. Boss, you love your daughter very much, don't you?
Oh, but of course not. Just so i don't give her a single penny...
Ah, i'm capable of anything. Let me know.
R god, what sin have i committed to deserve a daughter like that? Like that, all defective like you.
You know what? I don't want to see you.
Go to your room, take all your things and go to your room. Ugh, how awful, how annoying, how annoying, i'm fed up.
And don't go out anymore! Oh.
Nuria, how is everything going, girls? How is the adoption going?
Everything is going smoothly. Aiko yes, everything is going very well.
Soon we are going to have a meeting with the director of the shelter where aiko was and if she gives the go-ahead, we would continue with the formalization of the adoption. Great.
Let me tell you that you are an admirable woman. What you have achieved with aiko through discipline, effort, but above all love.
Here. Mrs.
Selene says that aitana is everything to her, but i don't think so. Why?
Because she is neglected all the time. She can't read or write or do math, nothing.
She's alone, she leaves her alone all the time, mom. She's disheveled and...
She reminds me so much of how i used to be. It seems very strange to me.
From what you've told me, the lady doesn't have much money? No, well, yes, but...
She ignores her. Isn't what...
What the lady does some kind of violence? There are different types of violence against children.
What your parents did to you was very obvious and what her mother does to aitana is another very unpleasant and less obvious one. Mom...
We have to help her. Of course, count on me.
Look, i'm going to help you learn in a different way. Not so much of being there and repeat and repeat and repeat and write and write and write, well, in the notebook, okay?
I'm going to teach you in a way that you're going to have fun and you're going to learn better, which is by playing. Does that sound good?
Look, come on. Come on.
Let's go. Lo dicho, dicho plays today i have to forget you and a phrase remains in your place it is what the one who learned said that to love is time wasted if it is not reciprocated where there was love, the ashes remained in my heart i know there is no worse blind man than the one who doesn't want to see because if someone said it it becomes a saying, it becomes part of your path it becomes a truth because if someone said it it carries the tears of a truth that time will not erase pepe hey.
Nuria it won't erase what's said is said because if someone said it it becomes a saying, it becomes part of your path it becomes a truth because if someone said it it carries the tears of a truth that time won't erase - nuria come on, pepe! - pepe go for it, nuria.
It won't erase what's said is said music but aitana's mom still hasn't arrived. Door opens - she's...
- selene laughs yes, yeah, in fact, i think she's already here. - don't worry, i'll go now.
- you'll be great... - you, you, you.
- laughs oh, yeah, oh, no, no, i know, i'm late again, i was super late, but we're here now. Yes, don't worry.
Aitana is in her room, she's playing and today i was teaching her the vowels, i was helping her with her homework, like you told me and... Okay, perfect, very good, that sounds great.
Aitana is very intelligent. Laughs look, girl, i mean, you don't have to exaggerate either, you know?
I mean, i know aitana isn't... No, seriously, she's very intelligent, but i think the school she's in doesn't help her that much.
Oh, she's in the best school. I mean, the cream of the crop goes there, the cream of the crop of society goes to that school, it's the best school.
Yes, i understand, but i think she needs more care in that, so, i think it would be better if she had school at home. School at home?
I mean, that i have her here stuck all day? No, you...
I mean, you're wrong, huh? I mean, not at all, zero, i couldn't stand that girl stuck here all day.
So well, those are things that you don't have to worry about. I'm going to pay you your overtime for all the time you were here and i'm going to give you a very good tip so you can pay for your taxi, okay?
So well. Well, that's all, thank you very much.
- goodbye. - see you later.
Yes, goodbye, have a good one. So, you and i, what were we talking about?
About us going to give each other right now... No, no, no, about you serving me another drink.
A drink. Selene copita.
Laughs i'm hungry. Come on, no, no, you don't...
What hunger or what hunger. Oh, this girl who...
I am hungry. Oh, my love, you're hungry.
Yes, you too, right? Aiko?
Yes. This is not the car from the app i ordered.
No, i come on behalf of mrs. Selene.
She told me to cancel the other service, please. Uh...
Really? Yes, get in.
Come on, welcome. Hey, girl, where do you live?
To the south, please. Nods aiko i'm telling you to go south.
Yes, but first i'm going to take you to see a person who is going to change your life. Let me out.
Look, calm down, i come on behalf of aitana's father. Look, that man does love the girl and wants to propose a business to you.
I work for mrs. Selene.
Yeah, yes, that old woman only wants my boss's money. That's the only reason she has the girl.
I work for aitana, not for the lady or the gentleman. Let me out.
Stop! Groans wait...
- coughs - stop! - wait, we're going...
- stop, stop! - okay, okay, okay...
- stop! Stop!
Groans open it, open it! Okay, okay, okay, wait...
- coughs cell phone hello, boss? I won't be able to take the nanny to your office.
Coughs she's a savage. Jadea (panting) she almost drowned me.
I'm going to investigate her. Forgive me, boss.
Música (music) exhala (exhales) gime (groans) mom... What's wrong?
- are you okay? - yes.
Hey, you came home very late yesterday and went straight to your room and today you left very early and we couldn't even talk. Is everything okay?
I don't like anything that's happening with aitana. Her parents treat her like an object.
It's clear to me that her mother doesn't love her, but doesn't her father love her either? After what happened last night, i don't think he's a good man.
He's a bad man. Aitana shouldn't be with him.
What happened? A man took me to talk to him, but he did it with deception.
The good thing was that i was able to stop everything. Aiko, you have to stay away from that girl, get her another nanny.
I can't leave her alone. But, aiko, understand that...
Mom, you could have left me alone and you didn't. It's different, i am an adult woman, responsible for my actions.
I hope to be someday. And if you don't let me continue with this, nothing you've taught me will make sense.
Understand once and for all, if i leave you and something happens to you, i won't forgive myself. And to make matters worse, your adoption would be at risk, understand.
Mom, i will always be your daughter, always. But i need you to trust me.
Okay, i trust you. But promise me you're going to be very careful.
I promise you. Be careful.
Come, stay here, don't move, okay? - here you go.
- thank you. - thank you.
- have a nice afternoon. Aitana, you have to learn things from school, but you also need to learn things from real life.
But what are we doing here? Learning.
There's no better way to learn, especially for you, than to live day to day, as real life is. So we're going to go to the flea markets to...
To buy, to read the subway signs, of the buses and to interact with people. And won't my mom get mad?
She won't find out. Besides, she went with her boyfriend, she'll be very late.
So, come on, come, let's go, little sister. I'm not your little sister.
Well, you're not my little sister, but that's how i see you, like my little sister. Come on, let's go to the flea market.
And then i can show you where my mom teaches me martial arts, do you want to? What?
Did i say something wrong? You didn't like me calling you little sister, did you?
Yes. Well, no.
Well, yes, little sister. Laughs laureano we have the old parasite in our hands.
Although the nanny didn't want to participate with us, she gave us the necessary weapons to take away selene's parental authority. Lawyer, you know what to do.
Of course, mr. Magadán.
Bell - hey, aitana, make me a promise. Like, very, very, very big, okay?
Promise me you won't tell your mom that we went out, okay? Promise it.
That's it. Forgive me, forgive me that i'm late again, i know, i'm unforgivable.
Oh, forgive me. Laughs - how are you?
- no, don't worry. Good, we had a great time.
Oh, that's good. We went to the flea market.
What, what, to the flea market? How did you go to the flea market?
Yes, we spent time playing at the flea market, you know, to teach her how to do accounts and all that. Oh, yes, how nice.
Well, i had an incredible time. You don't know, i'm coming from that...
Oh. Well, there are things that are better not to give details because there are children present, right?
- laughs bell oh, surely it's my beau who came for more. I'll be right back.
Laughs surely it's him. What happened?
Oh, yes, tell me. Mrs.
Selene robledo? - yes?
- i have something for you. I hope it's some flowers, some chocolates, some jewelry.
From which of my suitors? Because i don't know you, do i?
- you have been notified. - what?
Please, sign here. No, no, no, let me see, what is this?
It is a summons with the family court judge to take away your parental authority of the girl aitana. What?
For omission of duties and exposing her to latent dangers. Can you sign here, please?
Sighs - here you go. - thank you.
Can you explain to me what this is? What does this mean?
Madam, i only... All this is your fault, what's wrong with you?
Madam, i took aitana to the street, but it was because... It was because i had to teach her, she has to learn.
It's the only way in which she can really can teach her about life. What you had to do was take care of my daughter, only that, because with aitana nothing else can be done.
Of course you can, because my mom with the love she has given me and with the teachers i have moved forward. Yeah, with love.
So, are you implying that i don't love my daughter enough or what? What's wrong with you?
I think you do love yourself, but you don't love aitana. Sighs you're fired.
Get out of here right now. I'm going to lose everything i have thanks to that girl.
I can lose the pension, all because of you! Get out!
Madam, let me just say goodbye to her, please. Selene but quickly!
Aitana, see you. Why are you leaving me, little sister?
Little sister? But what nonsense is that?
Come on, get out of here, please, get out of here. I don't want to see you again!
What little sister or what little sister! You don't have either a sister or a little sister, you only have a mother that is me.
Is that clear to you? Answer!
Yes, little sister. I mean, yes, mommy.
*panting* the judges dismissed the evidence we presented. I can't believe she kept the custody of the girl.
Well, yes, boss, but that little lawyer who sold out, went over to her side. Well, that can't be, that's impossible.
It's impossible that she gave him more money than i did! Sorry, boss, but with all due respect, mrs.
Selene not only offered him money. *laughs* no, nothing surprises me.
That's how that climber wraps around the idiots who notice her. Like me.
But i don't plan to give her another penny. No, boss, don't do that.
Imagine, if you stop paying child support for even one day, they'll arrest you and prosecute you. Shhh.
Shut up. That can't happen, because they might find the other businesses i have.
But i won't have another choice. What do you mean, boss?
That it's my moment, it's time to run away. I'm leaving the country, but i'm not going alone, i'm taking my daughter and i'm taking all my money.
Prepare everything that is necessary. Hey, boss, but wait, wait, wait, wouldn't it be better for you to go alone?
I mean, why do you want the girl? Oh, wouldn't it be better for you to go alone?
Why do you want the girl? No, you don't understand, you don't see the big picture, i don't want to leave loose ends.
Understand it. Imagine that i'm far away and suddenly something happens to me, who are they going to give all the inheritance to?
Who's going to keep all the money? Selene for having the girl.
And that's not going to happen. So come on, do what i tell you and get your people ready to go get the girl.
- let's go! - perfect, boss.
Mario, tell them we're leaving. Yes, sir.
Well, no, it's fine, perfect. Very well, where did i leave my cell phone?
My cell phone, my wallet, i have everything. Ready.
Let's see, what else do i...? Ah, the wallet, i don't think it's here.
Are you going out? Yes, i'm going to celebrate with the lawyer who helped me beat your father's idiot.
And well, one good turn deserves another, so yes, i am going out. Will you be long in coming back?
Oh, well, how inquisitive you've become. This aiko has left you even more restless, upset.
How awful, but now you're going to stay with her, with your new nanny, with... - clara.
Clara, clara... With clara, of course, clara.
Laughs you stay with her. Please, take very good care of her.
I care that she's super well, okay? Well, if this girl gets hungry, with your permission, uh, i left food in the refrigerator and i also left money there on the little table that's here in the hallway.
Anything if she gets stubborn, you buy her a pizza or something like that so she's calm, okay? - yes, ma'am.
- take good care of her, huh? I won't be long.
Laughs do you want to play? No, and i'm not interested.
Boss, guess what? That girl is alone in her house.
Doña selene is not there, she left. Uh-huh, i think she's with the nanny, with the new one.
Yes, let's just wait for her to open the door and we're going to take her. Don't fail me or you know what awaits you.
Okay, sir. Yes, everything will be fine.
You heard, everything has to go well, huh? - no mistakes.
- what's up, aitana? - how are you?
How are you? - hello, memo.
Uh, i need you to take me somewhere. Sure, where to?
- well, here's the address. - let me see.
Ah, it's nearby. Let's go, and your mom?
Uh, my mom went ahead a bit, but well, since i know your number, i called you. Ah, no, man, let's go, you know she gets angry when you're late, let's go.
- hey, it's so cold. - yeah.
I'm starting the job and no way. Damn it.
Step on it. Follow that taxi, let's go.
Start the vehicle aiko, what's wrong? You're very distracted.
I can't stop thinking about aitana. I mean, i have so much on my mind that...
That i can even see her. Aitana little sister.
Aitana. What are you doing here?
How did you get here? Memo brought me, the one who already knows us.
Oh, i missed you so much. You see, mom?
Aitana is very intelligent, she can learn a lot. Aiko, i don't think it's a good idea for her to have come alone.
Memo brought me, the driver who already knows me. We have to tell her mom.
Employee no, ma'am, guess what? I'm going to take the kid.
And who are you? How did you get in here?
He's the guy who works for aitana's dad, he's the one who took me last night. Yeah, but this time you're not going to catch me off guard.
And look, i came with company. And i'm going to take the kid, whether you like it or not.
Screams aiko hello, hello? Some guys tried to kidnap a girl, i'm sending you the location.
Saori are you okay? Yes, mom, i'm fine.
Who were those guys? Why were they here?
It's a long story. You're going to have to tell me, because the man in the suit who just left is the director of the adoption board.
Seriously, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Laureano magadán, you are under arrest for the alleged kidnapping of a minor in the degree of attempt.
Laughs are you serious? You can't accuse me of kidnapping my own daughter.
The courts will let you know if this is valid. - ah...
- meanwhile, handcuff him. You don't know who you're messing with.
This is a mistake and i'm going to... Why don't we just fix it and...
And we won't go anywhere? - let's go.
- but... It's just...
Hey, this is a mistake! Let me go!
This can't be! Oh, bertita, thank you very much.
Here you go, love. Well, there's a lot to celebrate.
Finally, that damn sour old man is going to be in jail. - cheers - i regret to inform you that the news is not all good.
But why not? I won the jackpot.
Because even if this guy is in jail, i'm still going to receive the girl's pension, right? - that's what the law says.
- nods the obligation to pay child support to minor children is not extinguished by the fact of having entered prison. - of course.
- the parent must, if time does not prove the lack of income or resources, make it effective. That's right.
And if there's one thing that guy doesn't lack, it's money. See?
We have to celebrate. Only there's a problem.
Okay, well, okay, what are you talking about? When investigating him for the attempted kidnapping of the girl, he was linked to other open processes for money laundering and tax evasion, so the resources in his accounts are frozen.
Wait, wait, no, no, that can't be, that's a lie. Please!
I have my daughter who is autistic and needs therapies, special attention and i have no more income, i am dedicated body and soul to the girl, for god's sake. I'm sorry.
During the investigation plus the process, you cannot have access to any resources. The accused can argue absolute poverty.
- sighs - such a situation justifies the suspension of his obligation. As long as the obligor has a prison regime that allows him to obtain income with which he can cover the amount of the pension or regain his freedom.
And that could last months or even years. No, no, no, no...
I want to die, i truly want to die. I regret to inform you, but that's how things are.
But you can help me, right? Please, of course you can help me.
Sure, but you know that my fees are high. What?
Come on, no, you can't charge me, you're seeing the situation. Come on, there has to be another way for you and me to work things out.
No, no, no, thank you, this time i prefer cash. No, no, but i don't have any, right now i don't have a single penny.
Call me when you have it. Mumbles baby, this is very bad.
I really need you to support me. - my love...
- mommy, i love you. Oh, but i don't.
And you're no longer useful to me. I don't even know what i'm going to do with you.
Because of you we have no money. You know what?
Go over there, i don't want to see you. What the director of the adoption committee witnessed was fundamental to releasing the following decision.
It became clear to him that you have been a positive element in aiko's development, so the adoption... Has been granted.
- both scream congratulations, you did it. Telephone laughs tell me, roxana.
No, i can't see you now, i'm very busy. Urgent?
I'm on my way. Excuse me for a moment?
Something came up. - aitana?
- cries aiko, my mom abandoned me. Cries i am selene, aitana's mother.
I have no way to take care of her. She requires too much attention that i cannot give her.
I'm leaving her at your shelter so you can find her a home. Hurry up, my love, we're going to be late.
- here's everything, honey. - it was at 2:00, at 2:00.
I'm taking everything, put the suitcase away. Here i have all the money from everything i managed to collect.
In fact, they gave me the advance already for the sale of the house. You already have my cell phone, right?
- no. - what do you mean no?
But didn't i already give it to you? No, no, no, i don't have anything.
Okay, take care of this for me. I'm going for the cell phone very quickly, i won't be long, okay?
- yes, yes, yes. - wait, my love.
We're going, we're leaving, we're leaving. Starts the vehicle my love?
My love? Baby?
Baby, where...? No, it can't be.
My things. He robbed me.
No, no, no, it can't be, it can't be. While others lose everything because of bad people, there are others, the good ones, who win everything.
Laughs i can't contradict you, don tomás. I thought i was going to be a single woman all my life and now i have this blessing who is officially my daughter and this other one who has just arrived who is in the process of becoming one.
That's right, of course. You are very brave.
We found out that now you are also you are planning to adopt aitana. Saori for the moment i have her custody, but if everything goes well and they give me the adoption, we will be three.
Legally, i see it as very viable that they also grant you her adoption. You are an example of courage, of discipline and hard work.
Really, everything is commendable. Although aitana is a little angel with needs, my mom and i cover those needs with a lot of love.
As the saying goes, blood only makes relatives, but love makes family. That's right.
Music as the saying goes there is no evil that lasts a hundred years much better to be alone than in bad company and as the saying goes life gives you surprises tree that is born crooked never straightens its branch as the saying goes
