00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:37,828
{\an8}I always dreamed about being a mom.
4
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:40,539
{\an8}I got married when I was 17
and full of hope.
5
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:44,501
{\an8}I was pregnant which was partially
why we decided to get married.
6
00:00:44,502 --> 00:00:46,921
{\an8}But I've always loved Arturo.
7
00:00:48,339 --> 00:00:50,383
I've always liked children.
8
00:00:51,676 --> 00:00:54,304
I've always been drawn to them.
9
00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:57,432
And all the kids in my family,
10
00:00:58,433 --> 00:00:59,808
they…
11
00:00:59,809 --> 00:01:03,937
They, mm, have always
been very attached to me though.
12
00:01:03,938 --> 00:01:05,731
My family is pretty big.
13
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:08,442
My family has… well they,
all have children, you know?
14
00:01:08,443 --> 00:01:10,653
All my cousins have children.
15
00:01:11,362 --> 00:01:12,738
So I…
16
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:16,993
So I like the idea
of just me being a mom. Yeah, so, um…
17
00:01:17,660 --> 00:01:21,789
It was like, like fulfilling my dream
of having a family.
18
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:26,835
Since I got pregnant and we got married,
that was always our plan.
19
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:29,004
I always, always saw myself as a mom.
20
00:01:29,005 --> 00:01:30,923
Cut. Great. I love it.
21
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:33,092
Can we try a version that's more fluid?
22
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:36,053
The text you're going to read
is from an interview we have to emulate,
23
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:38,931
and the character you would have to play
24
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:41,725
- is Ale, from 15 years ago.
- Mm.
25
00:01:41,726 --> 00:01:44,520
- Like a flashback that the actress has…
- Yeah.
26
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:46,231
about the real Ale, okay?
27
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:53,780
- Casting, 1F, take one.
- Mark.
28
00:01:57,075 --> 00:01:58,868
I wanted it so bad, you know?
29
00:02:00,411 --> 00:02:04,999
And… I found myself
in all these complicated situations.
30
00:02:06,167 --> 00:02:07,877
So I began to make
31
00:02:08,837 --> 00:02:10,629
some choices
32
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:14,801
which caused things to start getting
even more complicated.
33
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:18,680
Until there was nowhere to go.
34
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:21,891
I was in over my head.
35
00:02:24,936 --> 00:02:30,817
A CHILD OF MY OWN
36
00:02:32,735 --> 00:02:33,862
Very good.
37
00:02:35,446 --> 00:02:36,780
That's it.
38
00:02:36,781 --> 00:02:38,491
One more.
39
00:02:40,076 --> 00:02:42,287
Great. Uh, can we get closer, please.
40
00:02:43,705 --> 00:02:46,040
Great, perfect. Uh, look at the camera.
41
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,960
Perfect. Smile.
42
00:02:49,460 --> 00:02:51,713
Let's see that joy for Ale and Arturo.
43
00:02:55,216 --> 00:02:57,217
ALEJANDRA AND ARTURO
44
00:02:57,218 --> 00:02:59,220
OUR WEDDING
45
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:07,979
I've hungered for your touch
46
00:03:09,564 --> 00:03:14,944
A long, lonely time
47
00:03:17,614 --> 00:03:22,452
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
48
00:03:25,079 --> 00:03:28,498
When I got married,
I think the biggest pressure I felt
49
00:03:28,499 --> 00:03:30,918
was to make his family happy.
50
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,087
I was always really accepted
by my own family,
51
00:03:34,088 --> 00:03:36,715
so being a part of his family
52
00:03:36,716 --> 00:03:39,968
and not feeling accepted by his mother
53
00:03:39,969 --> 00:03:43,556
made me feel like
I had to earn my place to feel accepted.
54
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:50,939
Forever together, always and forever!
55
00:04:11,167 --> 00:04:14,044
I lost my baby living with my in-laws.
56
00:04:14,045 --> 00:04:15,879
I didn't want to see anyone.
57
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,091
But they came up to my room,
and one of Arturo’s aunts asked me…
58
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:21,760
- Why are you crying? Don't cry.
- "Why are you crying?"
59
00:04:21,761 --> 00:04:24,179
- "We've all been there before."
- Yes, it's terrible.
60
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:26,682
His mom said,
"It's because you're not careful."
61
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:27,850
Grandma!
62
00:04:29,018 --> 00:04:30,560
How are you feeling, Ale?
63
00:04:30,561 --> 00:04:34,273
I had to lie there,
listening to everything they were saying
64
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:36,150
until my mom got there.
65
00:04:36,859 --> 00:04:38,278
I’m here, honey.
66
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:44,033
Why did I miscarry?
67
00:04:46,327 --> 00:04:48,870
- It was my fault.
- It was all my fault.
68
00:04:48,871 --> 00:04:52,624
Because I didn't take care
of myself. Because I ran, I went to work.
69
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:56,379
- I blamed myself for everything.
- No, it wasn't your fault, relax.
70
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,507
Get some rest, okay?
71
00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:10,392
Hey, so we're gonna have
a big yard for a party, huh?
72
00:05:10,393 --> 00:05:11,768
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
73
00:05:11,769 --> 00:05:14,479
So the house is really big then? Congrats.
74
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,565
That's super exciting.
75
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:19,027
- Maybe you'll come over soon.
- Can't wait to see it.
76
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:25,408
The house is very nice,
but it's big for them.
77
00:05:25,908 --> 00:05:27,909
- They don't even have children.
- Ma.
78
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:30,537
- Or maybe they'll fill it with dogs?
- Mom, stop.
79
00:05:30,538 --> 00:05:32,331
- Lot of dogs here.
- All those rooms,
80
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:35,000
you've gotta fill 'em with something.
You too, Uncle?
81
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:37,586
We just want you both to be happy there.
82
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:40,589
It would be so nice
to have a few running around there.
83
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:43,258
I want to meet a great-grandchild of mine.
84
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:45,552
Well, yeah, Grandma, but I'm only 25.
85
00:05:45,553 --> 00:05:48,597
Well, you had better
start soon then, dear.
86
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,684
Otherwise, they'll look like
your grandkids instead of your children.
87
00:05:52,435 --> 00:05:54,061
Why don't you adopt?
88
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:56,606
No, it's not the same, right?
89
00:05:57,315 --> 00:05:59,399
We're gonna have kids of our own.
90
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,903
And Ale has been very busy
working at the hospital, it's demanding.
91
00:06:02,904 --> 00:06:05,739
- But we're on it.
- Those are priorities.
92
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:08,283
- Don't wait too long.
- Thank you.
93
00:06:08,284 --> 00:06:10,035
- Erik, Another one?
- No, thanks.
94
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:12,080
- Bring me two cold ones, please?
- Yeah.
95
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:25,133
- What happened after that loss?
- I got pregnant again soon after, right?
96
00:06:25,134 --> 00:06:29,638
Arturo was always telling me, "Careful,
Ale. Don’t do this, don’t do that."
97
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,474
Yeah, we fought the last time
about the pregnancy.
98
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:34,810
I told her she had to be careful,
had to rest.
99
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:38,522
I work all day, I can't be following
her around, reminding her.
100
00:06:38,523 --> 00:06:41,483
I even said, "Do it for the baby,
if you can't do it for yourself."
101
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:43,027
but she's stubborn like that.
102
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:44,695
I mean it.
103
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:48,824
And well, I lost that pregnancy.
104
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:51,369
That was my second time
having a miscarriage.
105
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:55,080
After a few years
we started to worry, right?
106
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:57,166
We realized a baby wasn't coming.
107
00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:02,379
Doctor, this is very hard for me, because
I want to have a child and I can't.
108
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:04,172
We don't know what the problem is.
109
00:07:04,173 --> 00:07:07,092
It happened once naturally,
so why won't it happen again?
110
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:09,469
We're not using any protection, so…
111
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:13,558
I don't know. I think there's something
wrong in her body that can't keep it like…
112
00:07:14,642 --> 00:07:15,726
I don't know.
113
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:17,978
Don't worry.
114
00:07:17,979 --> 00:07:20,897
We're going to see how your uterus
is doing after the curettage,
115
00:07:20,898 --> 00:07:23,443
and we're also going to analyze
your husband’s semen.
116
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:27,988
We could even try doing
artificial insemination
117
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:29,574
to help you get pregnant.
118
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:31,616
That prevents loses, right?
119
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:34,495
No pregnancy is guaranteed
to succeed 100%.
120
00:07:36,205 --> 00:07:40,626
But nature is wise, and it won’t allow
an unhealthy baby to reach full term.
121
00:07:41,878 --> 00:07:44,922
You are both very young.
You still have time.
122
00:07:48,092 --> 00:07:50,678
Okay, okay, okay,
almost there, almost there.
123
00:07:52,597 --> 00:07:54,140
You'll be all right.
124
00:07:54,765 --> 00:07:56,058
Thanks.
125
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:15,577
When I finally got pregnant
the third time, Arturo said,
126
00:08:15,578 --> 00:08:17,496
"Now you have to take care of yourself."
127
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:20,332
"Now you have to do this,
now you have to do that."
128
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:22,250
"Now you need to stay here."
129
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:25,128
"Actually, you have to stop working."
130
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:29,674
And I was like, "No, what are you talking
about? I'm not going to stop working."
131
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:31,927
And he would say, "You are so stubborn."
132
00:08:31,928 --> 00:08:33,970
- Hi, Ale.
- Hi, doctor.
133
00:08:33,971 --> 00:08:35,305
How are you feeling?
134
00:08:35,306 --> 00:08:37,724
Great. I'm not nauseous anymore.
135
00:08:37,725 --> 00:08:39,935
- Is everything ready?
- Uh-huh.
136
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:41,938
Hello. Good morning. Come in.
137
00:08:44,065 --> 00:08:46,442
- Thank you. We'll have coffee now, okay?
- Okay.
138
00:09:13,302 --> 00:09:15,720
I showed up at my boss's office crying
139
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:17,347
and said, "I don't feel well."
140
00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:22,478
Ale, I'm so sorry,
but with the bleeding… the baby's gone.
141
00:09:23,354 --> 00:09:25,064
Oh no, not again.
142
00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:27,400
I'm sorry.
143
00:09:29,193 --> 00:09:31,278
How am I going to tell Arturo, doctor?
144
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:32,780
Try to relax, hm?
145
00:09:33,322 --> 00:09:34,699
Relax and
146
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:38,118
talk to your husband,
discuss your options.
147
00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:42,206
It's going to be very difficult for you
to have a pregnancy reach full-term.
148
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:46,544
I'll let you get dressed.
149
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:21,494
Afterwards,
I sat in the clinic waiting room
150
00:10:21,495 --> 00:10:23,788
with mixed feelings.
151
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:26,042
I blamed myself, obviously.
152
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:32,589
Look, can someone please help me?
I've been waiting here for hours.
153
00:10:32,590 --> 00:10:34,633
You have to wait your turn.
154
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:35,925
You can't do anything?
155
00:10:35,926 --> 00:10:37,802
You ask God, "Why me?"
156
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:40,806
"Why is this happening? Why?"
157
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:43,434
That’s when I met Mayra.
158
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:51,400
What's wrong?
159
00:10:55,529 --> 00:10:57,365
I want to be a mom, and I can’t.
160
00:10:59,575 --> 00:11:01,410
I'm going to be a mom, and don't want to.
161
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:05,289
What?
162
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:07,415
I just found out.
163
00:11:07,416 --> 00:11:08,833
Mayra tells me…
164
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:11,462
- I don't want to have it.
- …she wanted an abortion.
165
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:14,964
The dad doesn't want
to take responsibility
166
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:16,675
because he says it's not his.
167
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:19,261
And I… I can’t have another baby.
168
00:11:23,099 --> 00:11:25,600
But, but you can have it by yourself.
169
00:11:25,601 --> 00:11:26,685
No.
170
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:28,312
I don't study or work.
171
00:11:28,813 --> 00:11:30,773
I just help my mom with stuff.
172
00:11:31,774 --> 00:11:33,692
You can get a job.
173
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,276
Sell something, I don't know.
174
00:11:35,277 --> 00:11:38,029
No, no, no, working isn't for me.
175
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:40,366
I do sell some stuff, but no.
176
00:11:41,158 --> 00:11:43,869
No. I can’t have another baby.
177
00:11:44,745 --> 00:11:48,623
I already have a daughter. If I have
another baby, my mom will kill me.
178
00:11:48,624 --> 00:11:50,959
She'll kick me out of the house
and go crazy.
179
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,169
She wouldn't be able to kick you out.
180
00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:54,588
Yeah, she will.
181
00:11:59,093 --> 00:12:00,302
Oh, man.
182
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,764
I'd rather give it away
than get rid of it.
183
00:12:04,974 --> 00:12:05,975
I guess.
184
00:12:07,017 --> 00:12:10,437
Then, she says, "I'd rather
give it away than get rid of it."
185
00:12:10,438 --> 00:12:11,522
What?
186
00:12:15,484 --> 00:12:17,111
I wanna give it away.
187
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:25,870
Are you serious?
188
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:29,749
Yes.
189
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:36,588
And at the time, you think it's God,
190
00:12:36,589 --> 00:12:38,840
fate, the universe…
191
00:12:38,841 --> 00:12:41,259
If you’re sure, I can keep your baby.
192
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:43,219
…that puts people in your path,
193
00:12:43,220 --> 00:12:45,513
and maybe God wants you
to do something, right?
194
00:12:45,514 --> 00:12:46,681
Yes.
195
00:12:46,682 --> 00:12:49,560
I swear, I'll take care
of everything for your baby.
196
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:52,688
I promise you.
197
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,775
My name's Mayra.
198
00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:01,113
Nice to meet you. I'm Ale.
199
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:05,075
Look.
200
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:07,118
{\an8}OBGYN ADMIN SUPPORT
201
00:13:07,119 --> 00:13:08,661
{\an8}I work in Gynecology.
202
00:13:08,662 --> 00:13:10,164
Yes, I noticed.
203
00:13:12,291 --> 00:13:15,960
I guess we can start your paperwork
so you can have your appointments here.
204
00:13:15,961 --> 00:13:16,920
Okay.
205
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:19,172
PERSONAL INFORMATION
206
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:22,634
Deep down, I was worried
that she would try to blackmail me,
207
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:25,262
so the less information
she had about me, the better.
208
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:29,974
So I said, "I'll see you here.
I work in Women's Health."
209
00:13:29,975 --> 00:13:33,311
"Don't worry.
Whatever you need, I'll be here."
210
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:35,773
This lets you have
all your appointments here.
211
00:13:36,357 --> 00:13:39,359
And I also made
your ultrasound appointment.
212
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,737
- We'll see you April 20th.
- Yeah.
213
00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:44,114
- At eight.
- Mm-hm.
214
00:14:03,133 --> 00:14:06,052
I went home,
and when I got there I thought,
215
00:14:06,053 --> 00:14:07,847
"I'm not gonna tell anyone."
216
00:14:09,807 --> 00:14:11,809
Mostly, I wasn't telling Arturo.
217
00:14:13,185 --> 00:14:16,689
Why? Because I didn’t want to be blamed.
218
00:14:17,314 --> 00:14:19,941
I didn't want to hear,
yet again, "I told you so,"
219
00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:23,070
or "It's your fault,"
or, "You don't understand."
220
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:43,339
4 MONTHS PREGNANT: YOUR BODY TRANSFORMS
221
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:44,966
PHYSICAL AND HORMONAL CHANGES
222
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:47,052
Shut the baby…

THE POWER OF PREGNANCY
224
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:58,230
FOODS THAT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN
225
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:13,077
- You say no. Doesn't make sense.
- What's the problem?
226
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:15,580
What were you doing? We couldn't find you.
227
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:17,457
- I was at school.
- He says he was at school.
228
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:19,375
- That's what he says.
- Here you are.
229
00:15:19,376 --> 00:15:20,835
Mom always has my back.
230
00:15:20,836 --> 00:15:23,129
This pozole looks really good.
231
00:15:23,130 --> 00:15:25,214
Hey, damn, I want what you're having.
232
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:28,760
Well, this is my pregnant diet
by my doctor, okay?
233
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:31,054
Well, introduce me to that doctor, please.
234
00:15:31,055 --> 00:15:34,058
Hey, respect my wife. Mom, look at him.
235
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:37,518
- How are you feeling?
- Fine.
236
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,855
You can't tell from
your eyes. Her eyes don't look sunken.
237
00:15:40,856 --> 00:15:43,691
- Mom, stop.
- I think that's an old wives' tales.
238
00:15:43,692 --> 00:15:45,485
Stop. Hey.
239
00:15:45,486 --> 00:15:49,447
Hey, sweetie,
I bought you some ground beef. Come here.
240
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:52,617
Peppers, to make stuffed peppers
and some eggs.
241
00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:55,620
- And people say I don't spoil him.
- Oh, yeah.
242
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:58,831
Would you look,
I even iron his clothes, and I'm pregnant.
243
00:15:58,832 --> 00:16:02,335
Well, pregnancy isn't a malady,
my dear. You can do anything.
244
00:16:02,336 --> 00:16:04,004
No, Mom, she can't do anything.
245
00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:07,340
She's already had two miscarriages.
She has to be careful.
246
00:16:07,341 --> 00:16:09,885
Well, I'm from a different time.
247
00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:12,721
You okay? What’s wrong?
248
00:16:14,515 --> 00:16:17,266
She's still having a lot of nausea
from the pregnancy.
249
00:16:17,267 --> 00:16:18,601
She'll be right back.
250
00:16:18,602 --> 00:16:21,313
- Do you like it? Not eating much.
- Mm-hm.
251
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:30,990
So far, everything was going as planned.
252
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:33,242
Arturo believed me.
253
00:16:33,742 --> 00:16:36,328
He really thought that I was pregnant.
254
00:16:38,956 --> 00:16:41,666
- How far along are you?
- Five months.
255
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:44,502
Ale, why did you change jobs?
256
00:16:44,503 --> 00:16:47,131
Yeah, I mean,
Urology is much more demanding.
257
00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:51,342
Besides, all pregnant women are treated
in Gynecology with Dr. Guerrero.
258
00:16:51,343 --> 00:16:55,263
- It’s easier if you're working there.
- No, I've been needing a new job.
259
00:16:55,264 --> 00:16:57,265
Gynecology is too much.
260
00:16:57,266 --> 00:16:59,684
But, Ale, you're five months pregnant.
261
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:03,814
You should have stayed there
doing paperwork, sitting at your desk.
262
00:17:04,732 --> 00:17:07,400
No, it seems like normal hours,
eight to three,
263
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:10,111
but no, you always have to do extra.
264
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:11,320
Hm.
265
00:17:11,321 --> 00:17:14,032
Every night,
it was really stressful for me to stay.
266
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:16,868
All the time, Arturo keeps saying,
"Hey, Alejandra,
267
00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:18,870
you can't keep doing this."
268
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:20,747
"You get home so late."
269
00:17:20,748 --> 00:17:23,459
Yeah, I get it.
A man need his wife, right?
270
00:17:24,752 --> 00:17:28,212
Well, my sister's husband
left her basically overnight
271
00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:29,797
for far less than that.
272
00:17:29,798 --> 00:17:32,759
- Oh my God, heaven forbid.
- Are you serious? No.
273
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,012
Imagine him leaving now.
274
00:17:36,513 --> 00:17:37,889
No, no, no.
275
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:40,266
No. But that's why I behave.
276
00:17:40,267 --> 00:17:42,561
I mean, we're happier like this.
277
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,398
Well, I hope it's what's best
for you three of you.
278
00:17:47,399 --> 00:17:49,401
- Do you want some water?
- Yes, please.
279
00:17:56,366 --> 00:17:59,620
THE POWER OF PREGNANCY
280
00:18:00,412 --> 00:18:04,123
When I started gaining weight,
everything began to change.
281
00:18:04,124 --> 00:18:08,337
Absolutely everything, my body,
having to buy maternity clothes.
282
00:18:10,589 --> 00:18:12,298
With all the weight I was gaining,
283
00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:15,635
my stomach really looked
like a pregnancy bump,
284
00:18:15,636 --> 00:18:19,097
So, when Arturo and I were intimate,
285
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:23,434
whenever I felt his hand on my stomach,
I instinctively tightened my muscles
286
00:18:23,435 --> 00:18:24,977
so it felt more firm.
287
00:18:24,978 --> 00:18:27,688
Arturo. Arturo. Arturo, no.
288
00:18:27,689 --> 00:18:29,524
- I know, but I want to.
- I can’t.
289
00:18:29,525 --> 00:18:32,693
- The doctor told me not right now.
- But why not? Come on.
290
00:18:32,694 --> 00:18:35,238
- I can't do it. I can't do this right now.
- Why?
291
00:18:35,239 --> 00:18:37,573
I'm telling you, no.
292
00:18:37,574 --> 00:18:39,076
It can be dangerous.
293
00:18:40,577 --> 00:18:43,580
It could cause a premature baby birth.
294
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:46,625
What if we hit its head
and he comes early?
295
00:18:48,043 --> 00:18:50,461
He said it was called something like
296
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:53,632
total occlusion placenta previa.
297
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:57,885
Your stomach is hard but it looks small.
298
00:18:57,886 --> 00:19:00,931
The baby's small
and that's the problem, you know?
299
00:19:02,516 --> 00:19:05,227
When are you having
another checkup at the hospital?
300
00:19:05,727 --> 00:19:07,186
I don't know.
301
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:10,106
The other day,
your mom wanted to see an ultrasound.
302
00:19:10,107 --> 00:19:12,401
They already did it
and everything was good.
303
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:17,196
And the others, the other ultrasounds,
when did you do them?
304
00:19:17,197 --> 00:19:20,366
About a month ago.
I don't have the copies yet.
305
00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:22,243
I mean, Arturo,
306
00:19:22,244 --> 00:19:25,914
I do all of it at the hospital,
but I didn't get anything.
307
00:19:26,415 --> 00:19:29,959
Mm. And nowhere else
is going to do better.
308
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,085
Yeah?
309
00:19:31,086 --> 00:19:32,546
Well, all right then.
310
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:38,385
If you're happy, I'm happy.
311
00:19:38,927 --> 00:19:41,679
I slept next to him, I had lived with him.
312
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,557
If he said something, I’d immediately say,
313
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:46,226
"You're bothering me."
314
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:48,853
"You’re hurting me."
315
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:50,814
"Don't you know that hurts?"
316
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:55,444
I guess it was the same kind of emotional
blackmail I always used on him.
317
00:19:56,737 --> 00:19:58,572
- How are you?
- Fine
318
00:20:03,285 --> 00:20:06,162
Hmm. Did you get the ultrasound?
319
00:20:06,163 --> 00:20:09,958
Yes, but they had me waiting for hours.
Haven't eaten anything.
320
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:11,960
Let's see.
321
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:16,506
Have some.
322
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,762
I also brought your vitamins.
323
00:20:23,305 --> 00:20:24,681
Take them, okay?
324
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:26,934
Did they say anything?
325
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:31,480
It's a girl, and she's underweight.
326
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:36,568
Hey, you're getting fat.
327
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:39,153
Are you sure you're not pregnant?
328
00:20:39,154 --> 00:20:41,697
Oh no, I wish. Mmm.
329
00:20:41,698 --> 00:20:43,200
What do you mean?
330
00:20:48,664 --> 00:20:50,414
Is there a due date?
331
00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:51,541
Mm-hm.
332
00:20:53,335 --> 00:20:55,963
They think I'll give birth
the week of June 16th.
333
00:20:58,715 --> 00:21:01,426
I have to go. I've been here all morning.
334
00:21:03,303 --> 00:21:04,346
Okay.
335
00:21:09,309 --> 00:21:12,187
You're not alone. I'm always here. Hm?
336
00:21:16,858 --> 00:21:19,319
- See you in two months.
- Yeah.
337
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:21,863
I'll see you on June 16th.
338
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:29,955
ULTRASOUND
339
00:21:45,887 --> 00:21:48,681
Let me introduce our new family member.
340
00:21:48,682 --> 00:21:50,224
They finally gave it to you?
341
00:21:50,225 --> 00:21:53,603
See, my love? That's the advantage
of not leaving the hospital.
342
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:57,106
You both have no idea
how hard it was to get them.
343
00:21:57,107 --> 00:22:00,401
- I explained that it was important to me.
- How are you, little guy.
344
00:22:00,402 --> 00:22:02,820
Hello, baby Arturo.
He's Arturo junior, yeah?
345
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:04,613
- Why does that matter?
- What do you mean?
346
00:22:04,614 --> 00:22:06,449
Because maybe it's a girl!
347
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:09,243
It doesn't look like a girl
from how you're carrying.
348
00:22:09,244 --> 00:22:11,787
- That's what the doctors said.
- You're not a girl.
349
00:22:11,788 --> 00:22:14,040
Don't worry, Arturo, it's not a girl.
350
00:22:14,041 --> 00:22:16,751
- I think that they'd know.
- You hear that?
351
00:22:16,752 --> 00:22:20,129
- Either way, it'll be God's will. Right?
- Yeah. It's God's will.
352
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:22,340
- Yeah.
- Daddy loves you, little Arturo.
353
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,508
- Need anything?
- Yes.
354
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:25,844
Tea, please.
355
00:22:28,138 --> 00:22:31,474
"They're going to have a house full
of dogs. I won't get to have grandkids."
356
00:22:31,475 --> 00:22:33,559
I'll fill the house
with dogs that bite you,
357
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,729
- dumb mother-in-law.
- Hey. Go easy, that's my mother.
358
00:22:36,730 --> 00:22:39,148
She loves you very much.
She asks about you.
359
00:22:39,149 --> 00:22:41,525
She's very happy that you're pregnant.
360
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:43,486
Yeah, I can tell.
361
00:22:43,487 --> 00:22:45,738
Look at this one. It's so cute.
362
00:22:45,739 --> 00:22:46,948
Yeah, it's cute.
363
00:22:47,574 --> 00:22:51,828
I think maybe one that's a little longer,
yeah, at the bottom?
364
00:22:53,497 --> 00:22:54,539
My love.
365
00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:57,918
One of my friends bought this
for her baby.
366
00:22:58,835 --> 00:23:00,169
She's adopting him.
367
00:23:00,170 --> 00:23:03,130
Yeah, her mom didn't want him
and can't take care of him.
368
00:23:03,131 --> 00:23:05,133
So, well, she's going to keep him.
369
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:09,887
- Arturo, I’m talking to you.
- So, I’m listening.
370
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:11,764
You're not paying attention though.
371
00:23:11,765 --> 00:23:13,974
What do you want me to say? "It's fine"?
372
00:23:13,975 --> 00:23:16,852
She should try her best,
even if the kid isn't hers.
373
00:23:16,853 --> 00:23:19,856
But the kid is hers, yeah?
If she raises it, it's hers.
374
00:23:20,857 --> 00:23:22,608
Yeah, but it's not the same.
375
00:23:22,609 --> 00:23:24,194
I could never adopt a baby.
376
00:23:24,861 --> 00:23:26,988
- Okay, but why?
- Just because.
377
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:30,367
It's not the same.
I don't want to hurt the kid, you know?
378
00:23:30,867 --> 00:23:32,869
What if I can't love him like I should?
379
00:23:35,539 --> 00:23:37,082
Ale.
380
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:40,751
- Why are you getting upset?
- Mm.
381
00:23:40,752 --> 00:23:42,879
Calm down. Don't let the baby hear.
382
00:23:43,463 --> 00:23:45,339
If it’s a boy, he'll look like you.
383
00:23:45,340 --> 00:23:47,843
If it’s a girl, she'll look like me.
384
00:23:48,343 --> 00:23:50,928
Mm. As long as my girl's
not like your mom, all right?
385
00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:52,806
Hey, that's my mom.
386
00:24:03,066 --> 00:24:04,734
I felt very special.
387
00:24:05,402 --> 00:24:07,486
From the minute the people who love you
388
00:24:07,487 --> 00:24:10,449
start treating you
with that kind of affection,
389
00:24:11,158 --> 00:24:14,952
filled with anticipation
and with, with hope,
390
00:24:14,953 --> 00:24:17,163
where they see you and touch your belly
391
00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:19,790
and, and they treat you so nicely…
392
00:24:19,791 --> 00:24:22,168
- Everything's so pretty.
- Thank you.
393
00:24:22,169 --> 00:24:24,963
You look pretty too, Ale.
394
00:24:25,547 --> 00:24:26,923
Okay, that one's done.
395
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,801
So exciting! Are you excited?
396
00:24:30,802 --> 00:24:31,928
Oh, yeah.
397
00:24:32,721 --> 00:24:34,763
The prettiest aunt around.
398
00:24:34,764 --> 00:24:36,640
Look at that. Here I am.
399
00:24:36,641 --> 00:24:38,601
What would you name the baby?
400
00:24:38,602 --> 00:24:39,935
NAME OPTIONS
401
00:24:39,936 --> 00:24:43,190
{\an8}- If it's a girl, Alejandra.
- Uh-huh. Okay.
402
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:48,068
{\an8}If it’s a boy,
I’d like him to be called Arturo.
403
00:24:48,069 --> 00:24:51,113
{\an8}- There already two Arturos.
- After their dad and mom.
404
00:24:51,114 --> 00:24:54,074
{\an8}Aww, look how pretty.
405
00:24:54,075 --> 00:24:57,411
- Yes, there's that and here are the girls.
- "Alejandra's baby shower."
406
00:24:57,412 --> 00:24:59,288
- Say hi!
- Mom of the year.
407
00:24:59,289 --> 00:25:01,499
We love it. What do we say?
408
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:02,875
Let's do this!
409
00:25:02,876 --> 00:25:09,423
Mom of the year! Mom of the year!
410
00:25:09,424 --> 00:25:11,383
Ale, smile!
411
00:25:11,384 --> 00:25:15,138
All right, it’s okay. What are we missing?
Let’s see. Anything else?
412
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:19,141
Let's all clap for the baby!
413
00:25:19,142 --> 00:25:23,062
Give me an A, an L and an E!
Give me an A, an L and an E!
414
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:26,607
Put it all together now
and what does that spell?
415
00:25:26,608 --> 00:25:30,402
Ale! Ale! Rah! Rah! Rah!
416
00:25:30,403 --> 00:25:31,612
Congratulations!
417
00:25:31,613 --> 00:25:34,907
You have only one month left
before your baby's born.
418
00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:38,118
Do you have anything
you want to say to your guests?
419
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,207
- Ale! Ale! Ale! Ale! Ale!
- Yes. Boy. Well…
420
00:25:43,208 --> 00:25:47,336
I feel like I was living
in, in another dimension. I don’t know.
421
00:25:47,337 --> 00:25:49,171
Well, uh, um…
422
00:25:49,172 --> 00:25:53,051
Firstly, I want to thank you all
for being here.
423
00:25:54,844 --> 00:25:56,137
And, um, I
424
00:25:57,138 --> 00:25:58,640
just wanna say…
425
00:26:00,517 --> 00:26:03,477
…I couldn't be… uh, uh…
426
00:26:03,478 --> 00:26:04,771
…more grateful, yeah,
427
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:07,523
having you here celebrating with me.
428
00:26:07,524 --> 00:26:10,067
There were so any times
I just wanted to say,
429
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:13,320
"It's not real.
This isn't happening." But I couldn't.
430
00:26:13,321 --> 00:26:17,033
- Anyone else? The grandmas?
- Me! Me! I want to say something.
431
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:19,244
I mean, I just…
432
00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:22,121
I want to thank you all
433
00:26:22,122 --> 00:26:24,999
for coming to celebrate with me and Ale.
434
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,380
Because this baby has been
long-awaited by this family.
435
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,508
I hope everything goes well, my dear.
436
00:26:34,301 --> 00:26:35,885
This baby will be cute.
437
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,596
- Hmm?
- Bravo!
438
00:26:38,597 --> 00:26:42,099
Okay, everybody, let's eat.
Come on, there's so much to eat.
439
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,684
Come on. Let me serve you.
440
00:26:43,685 --> 00:26:45,519
I was really suffering.
441
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,105
I mean, I pretended like I was fine,
442
00:26:48,106 --> 00:26:51,525
but I was suffering on the inside.
443
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:55,279
I mean, it hurt to see
how happy my parents were,
444
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,741
my family, my grandmother.
445
00:27:00,910 --> 00:27:04,204
I wish someone
had burst that bubble of lies
446
00:27:04,205 --> 00:27:06,458
and made everything come out.
447
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:11,004
I wish right there and then
someone would've said, "Wake up!"
448
00:27:22,223 --> 00:27:24,433
- Like that one?
- Yes.
449
00:27:24,434 --> 00:27:27,186
- That's with the discount, right?
- Yes, 20% off.
450
00:27:27,187 --> 00:27:28,772
Arturo, this one.
451
00:27:29,356 --> 00:27:31,774
Did you see this one? It’s the same.
452
00:27:31,775 --> 00:27:33,734
It's not the same. I like this one.
453
00:27:33,735 --> 00:27:37,738
Aren't you getting ahead of
yourself with color? What if it's a boy?
454
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:40,033
Well, do you have to like it,
or maybe it's me.
455
00:27:40,784 --> 00:27:42,869
- Mm.
- I like this one.
456
00:27:43,578 --> 00:27:44,913
All right, it's fine.
457
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:47,706
We’ll take this one, pretty please.
458
00:27:47,707 --> 00:27:48,750
Thanks.
459
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:51,836
I want to sit down.
460
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:58,258
I was so, so fat.
I mean, literally weighed 98 kilos.
461
00:27:58,259 --> 00:28:01,011
I had gained way too much weight.
462
00:28:01,012 --> 00:28:02,930
I didn't feel good. Everything hurt.
463
00:28:02,931 --> 00:28:04,848
I get tired when I stand up too long.
464
00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:07,726
And Arturo was thinking,
"Something's not right."
465
00:28:07,727 --> 00:28:10,229
- It's okay, my love.
- "Something’s wrong."
466
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:13,732
- Time for maternity leave.
- No, I won't stop, I can't stop.
467
00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:16,110
You know me, I can keep working there, so…
468
00:28:16,111 --> 00:28:19,280
Ale, why won't you just go on leave?
469
00:28:19,781 --> 00:28:21,324
It's good for the baby.
470
00:28:22,117 --> 00:28:24,785
Okay, yeah, you're right, okay.
471
00:28:24,786 --> 00:28:27,205
- But just leave me alone.
- I’ll go with you, okay?
472
00:28:27,747 --> 00:28:30,125
No, Arturo, you don't have to go with me.
473
00:28:30,917 --> 00:28:33,127
No way. You're taking me.
474
00:28:33,128 --> 00:28:35,504
- It's not necessary.
- You're taking me with you.
475
00:28:35,505 --> 00:28:39,759
{\an8}LAB ORDER - PATIENT NAME:
MARÍN MENDOZA, ELEONOR ALEJANDRA
476
00:28:42,762 --> 00:28:44,888
I couldn't keep excluding Arturo.
477
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:47,015
Since I worked for so long
at the hospital,
478
00:28:47,016 --> 00:28:49,351
well, I learned how to do a few things
479
00:28:49,352 --> 00:28:52,271
and had some clinical knowledge.
480
00:28:52,272 --> 00:28:54,648
So, I created my own medical records.
481
00:28:54,649 --> 00:28:55,858
MEDICAL RECORD
482
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:59,486
{\an8}12 WEEKS - 14 WEEKS - 17 WEEKS
483
00:28:59,487 --> 00:29:02,532
{\an8}20 WEEKS - 22 WEEKS - 27 WEEKS
484
00:29:08,204 --> 00:29:10,914
When we went
to request my maternity leave,
485
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:13,834
I was thinking,
"How do I get out of here?"
486
00:29:13,835 --> 00:29:17,588
"What's my escape route
when they find out that I'm not pregnant?"
487
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:20,633
- "They’ll say I'm crazy, insane."
- How far along are you?
488
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:24,179
Uh, ma'am?
489
00:29:24,679 --> 00:29:26,556
How far along are you?
490
00:29:27,807 --> 00:29:29,600
Uh, 38 weeks, so--
491
00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:32,103
Good. And how do you feel?
492
00:29:32,854 --> 00:29:33,897
Fine.
493
00:29:34,564 --> 00:29:38,568
Any pain, dizziness,
nausea? Trouble sleeping?
494
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,652
No, nothing.
495
00:29:40,653 --> 00:29:44,406
Good. I'm going to place a device
to listen to the baby’s heartbeat.
496
00:29:44,407 --> 00:29:45,450
Okay?
497
00:30:09,390 --> 00:30:11,892
No. I can't hear it.
498
00:30:11,893 --> 00:30:13,811
You can't hear anything?
499
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:15,480
I think it’s the device.
500
00:30:16,189 --> 00:30:18,274
The old ones were better.
501
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:21,194
I'll get another one.
502
00:30:23,738 --> 00:30:26,074
I told you we should have come in sooner.
503
00:30:27,450 --> 00:30:29,536
Arturo, I wanted to come sooner.
504
00:30:32,413 --> 00:30:34,915
Arturo. Arturo.
505
00:30:34,916 --> 00:30:36,084
What?
506
00:30:36,793 --> 00:30:38,752
- It’s just--
- It's just what?
507
00:30:38,753 --> 00:30:40,129
I just…
508
00:30:44,926 --> 00:30:46,052
Let's see.
509
00:30:46,553 --> 00:30:47,720
If I may.
510
00:31:05,738 --> 00:31:06,865
There it is.
511
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:11,369
Good.
512
00:31:11,953 --> 00:31:13,745
So, doctor…
513
00:31:13,746 --> 00:31:15,914
…everything's fine with my baby, right?
514
00:31:15,915 --> 00:31:18,960
Yes, yes.
I'll grant you your maternity leave.
515
00:31:22,255 --> 00:31:25,632
The doctor gave me
90 days of maternity leave,
516
00:31:25,633 --> 00:31:27,886
so Arturo was relieved.
517
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:31,179
I was, I mean, really, at that point,
518
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:34,433
I wasn't Alejandra anymore.
519
00:31:34,434 --> 00:31:38,687
I mean, Alejandra, at that point,
was a mixture of everything.
520
00:31:38,688 --> 00:31:41,190
I was sick, I mean, I was not well.
521
00:31:46,863 --> 00:31:50,824
In my head I was saying,
"What if I actually am pregnant?"
522
00:31:50,825 --> 00:31:54,036
"What if I didn't have a miscarriage
or maybe I got pregnant again?"
523
00:31:54,037 --> 00:31:56,622
"If I'm pregnant, how am I gonna do this?"
524
00:31:56,623 --> 00:31:59,584
There was a lot going on in my head
that wasn't right.
525
00:32:00,501 --> 00:32:03,630
Well done!
Okay, now we'll do it one more time.
526
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:10,094
- Going out?
- To the hospital.
527
00:32:10,970 --> 00:32:13,890
Why are you going to work, babe?
Thought you were on leave.
528
00:32:14,557 --> 00:32:17,684
You don't have to go.
You're giving birth soon. It'll end badly.
529
00:32:17,685 --> 00:32:20,103
It's good for me to go. It's distracting.
530
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:23,774
And besides, my quarterly report is today.
I have to help my colleagues.
531
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:26,735
- And what am I gonna do here?
- You'll rest. You need to rest.
532
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:29,071
I can't let them fly solo.
I have to help them.
533
00:32:29,072 --> 00:32:31,323
- They don't know how to do it.
- So what if they can't.
534
00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:33,868
- You need to be careful.
- No, I can't miss it.
535
00:32:34,369 --> 00:32:37,705
And like your mom says,
"Pregnancy is not a malady," hm?
536
00:32:38,873 --> 00:32:39,958
Fine then.
537
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:42,751
But don't hurt my baby, okay?

00:32:49,050 --> 00:32:50,259
Hi, my love.
541
00:32:51,511 --> 00:32:53,470
- Ah!
- Hi, Ale! How've you been?
542
00:32:53,471 --> 00:32:56,139
- Oh my God, great, and you?
- Good.
543
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:59,602
Can you check on my neighbor?
She should be in now.
544
00:33:00,103 --> 00:33:02,230
Sure. Let's see, what's her name?
545
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:05,399
Her name is Mayra Navarro Vega.
546
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,441
Mayra?
547
00:33:06,442 --> 00:33:09,946
- Mm-hm. My neighbor told me she was due.
- Let's see.
548
00:33:10,780 --> 00:33:13,907
Mayra, Mayra…
Let’s see. Let's see. Yes, here she is.
549
00:33:13,908 --> 00:33:17,245
She came today, but they scheduled her
for a C-section tomorrow.
550
00:33:27,130 --> 00:33:29,631
- Let's make a video for the baby.
- No.
551
00:33:29,632 --> 00:33:31,133
- Come on.
- I'm too tired.
552
00:33:31,134 --> 00:33:32,801
The baby could come tomorrow.
553
00:33:32,802 --> 00:33:35,762
No, tomorrow they’ll tell me
if they're going to induce labor.
554
00:33:35,763 --> 00:33:37,639
- Fine.
- Hey.
555
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,267
- Huh?
- I'm craving chocolate. Can you get it?
556
00:33:40,268 --> 00:33:41,561
Yeah, just a minute.
557
00:33:44,772 --> 00:33:45,773
You ready?
558
00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:49,485
- Our baby's coming tomorrow.
- Mm-hm.
559
00:33:50,278 --> 00:33:51,988
Aren't you excited?
560
00:33:52,947 --> 00:33:55,323
So much I can't even show it.
561
00:33:55,324 --> 00:33:57,451
Let's see that big belly.
562
00:33:57,452 --> 00:34:00,912
When they see this video
in about ten years,
563
00:34:00,913 --> 00:34:03,207
they'll see how big your belly was.
564
00:34:03,833 --> 00:34:05,752
My baby is in there.
565
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:08,838
My son!
566
00:34:09,922 --> 00:34:12,258
Everyone's gonna come see him.
567
00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:15,595
He’s gonna live here with us
568
00:34:16,095 --> 00:34:17,346
in this home.
569
00:34:18,556 --> 00:34:21,350
The one we bought, just for him.
570
00:34:23,811 --> 00:34:24,896

Ale, how are you?

Hi, sweetie.
576
00:35:08,397 --> 00:35:11,441
- What are you doing here?
- I came to see my neighbor, yeah?
577
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,277
- I'll find you in a bit, okay?
- Yes!
578
00:35:16,322 --> 00:35:19,951
I went upstairs to see Mayra around 12:30
579
00:35:20,451 --> 00:35:22,286
when they took her to her room.
580
00:35:29,043 --> 00:35:30,127
Mayra.
581
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:31,546
Where is she?
582
00:35:33,047 --> 00:35:34,215
Over there.
583
00:35:44,058 --> 00:35:46,060
She's so pretty.
584
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:50,730
She's so fair, isn't she?
585
00:35:50,731 --> 00:35:51,732
Hi.
586
00:35:55,069 --> 00:35:57,029
Hi.
587
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:10,668
Our deal is still on, right?
588
00:36:11,586 --> 00:36:12,587
Yeah.
589
00:36:15,131 --> 00:36:16,924
- You okay?
- I'm cold.
590
00:36:17,675 --> 00:36:20,678
- I want to go to the bathroom.
- I'll give you my sweater.
591
00:36:21,179 --> 00:36:22,221
One second.
592
00:36:23,306 --> 00:36:24,307
There.
593
00:36:35,943 --> 00:36:37,861
I'm going to pick her up.
594
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:39,030
That's fine.
595
00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:07,308
Hello.
596
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:13,189
You sweet baby.
597
00:37:15,775 --> 00:37:17,401
Hey, baby girl.
598
00:37:30,164 --> 00:37:33,124
Shh, it's okay.
599
00:37:33,125 --> 00:37:34,752
Shh.
600
00:37:35,461 --> 00:37:36,796
How are you?
601
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:39,423
I'm fine.
602
00:37:41,133 --> 00:37:43,302
Did they tell you
how much the baby weighed?
603
00:37:44,053 --> 00:37:45,471
About two kilos.
604
00:37:46,973 --> 00:37:48,723
So cute.
605
00:37:48,724 --> 00:37:53,812
I was holding her when
at around two or three in the afternoon…
606
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:55,897
Hi. How are you?
607
00:37:55,898 --> 00:37:57,816
…this man shows up.
608
00:37:57,817 --> 00:37:59,151
What are you doing here?
609
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:04,490
There's your little girl.
610
00:38:05,366 --> 00:38:06,784
That's my daughter?
611
00:38:07,368 --> 00:38:10,079
- Why is she holding her?
- He's the baby's dad?
612
00:38:10,663 --> 00:38:12,748
- Yeah.
- Let me see.
613
00:38:17,086 --> 00:38:18,504
What's going on?
614
00:38:19,714 --> 00:38:21,382
Mayra has a high fever.
615
00:38:22,591 --> 00:38:24,343
Well, go tell someone.
616
00:38:25,094 --> 00:38:27,346
I'm not a doctor,
I don't know what's wrong.
617
00:38:30,474 --> 00:38:32,143
Hey there, little one.
618
00:38:32,643 --> 00:38:34,520
I'm going to get diapers for her.
619
00:38:50,453 --> 00:38:52,579
- Hi, love. Sorry.
- Why aren't you answering?
620
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:56,249
I've been calling you. Where are you?
Are they getting you ready to give birth?
621
00:38:56,250 --> 00:38:57,917
No, I'm not giving birth yet.
622
00:38:57,918 --> 00:39:00,795
Tell me what the doctors are saying.
Tell me what's going on.
623
00:39:00,796 --> 00:39:02,464
Let me speak, Arturo.
624
00:39:02,465 --> 00:39:06,009
What do you mean, what the doctors
are saying? I'm not dilated enough.
625
00:39:06,010 --> 00:39:10,388
- They're seeing if it'll be a C-section.
- When are they doing the C-section?
626
00:39:10,389 --> 00:39:14,267
I'm still at work. My boss hasn't told me
if I can leave early or not.
627
00:39:14,268 --> 00:39:16,603
But I'll be there
as soon as I can. I'm coming.
628
00:39:16,604 --> 00:39:19,939
No, it's not necessary
for you to come, Arturo. I'm okay.
629
00:39:19,940 --> 00:39:23,235
I'm not able to talk right now
but I’ll keep you updated.
630
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:33,661
- Did he leave?
- He's gonna regret it.
631
00:39:33,662 --> 00:39:36,957
I swear, that motherfucker's gonna pay.
He's gonna pay for this.
632
00:39:44,965 --> 00:39:48,051
Okay. Okay. No. No.
633
00:39:48,052 --> 00:39:50,388
Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.
634
00:39:51,180 --> 00:39:55,016
- Okay. Time to change the baby.
- I have to go.
635
00:39:55,017 --> 00:39:56,810
I can't be here anymore.
636
00:39:56,811 --> 00:40:00,313
What do you mean? Where are you going?
637
00:40:00,314 --> 00:40:02,065
Take the baby like we agreed.
638
00:40:02,066 --> 00:40:05,360
My mom won’t let me back in the house.
I have to go to Chihuahua.
639
00:40:05,361 --> 00:40:09,155
Look, Mayra, calm down.
The baby can't stay here alone.
640
00:40:09,156 --> 00:40:10,949
We have to do things properly.
641
00:40:10,950 --> 00:40:14,077
No, no, where are you going, Mayra.
Wait. No, just wait.
642
00:40:14,078 --> 00:40:15,830
I already did everything I had to.
643
00:40:16,330 --> 00:40:19,250
There’s the baby.
Isn't that’s what you wanted. Take her.
644
00:40:27,633 --> 00:40:32,178
I picked up the baby, went
into the hallway and turned around like,
645
00:40:32,179 --> 00:40:33,596
"No, I can't."
646
00:40:33,597 --> 00:40:36,307
"Even though I work
at the hospital and everything,
647
00:40:36,308 --> 00:40:39,937
there's no way I can just leave
with the baby like this."
648
00:40:44,733 --> 00:40:47,235
And that's when I thought,
649
00:40:47,236 --> 00:40:49,363
"I better go, I'm leaving."
650
00:40:50,614 --> 00:40:53,993
And I swear, I said,
"Enough, that's enough."
651
00:40:59,748 --> 00:41:01,791
But I turned around and thought,
652
00:41:01,792 --> 00:41:04,919
"If I leave the baby here,
what usually happens is,
653
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,756
because unfortunately,
babies are abandoned at hospitals,
654
00:41:08,757 --> 00:41:11,176
if I leave the baby,
child services takes her."
655
00:41:11,177 --> 00:41:12,719
"She doesn't deserve that."
656
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,432
"Just because I messed up?
But how am I gonna get her out?"
657
00:41:58,807 --> 00:42:00,517
- Ale, are you leaving?
- Yeah.
658
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:01,560
Get rest!
659
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:31,799
I left the hospital,
660
00:42:32,758 --> 00:42:34,510
and that’s when… I don't know.
661
00:42:35,636 --> 00:42:38,763
Maybe it was fate
or maybe it was just luck.
662
00:42:38,764 --> 00:42:40,015
I don't know.
663
00:42:41,350 --> 00:42:44,395
I was walking out and I heard someone say,
664
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:46,854
"What are you doing? Alejandra."
665
00:42:46,855 --> 00:42:48,732
Alejandra! What happened?
666
00:42:49,984 --> 00:42:51,401
What happened?
667
00:42:51,402 --> 00:42:53,111
I already gave birth.
668
00:42:53,112 --> 00:42:56,072
What are you thinking?
What happened? Why'd you leave?
669
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:59,659
Arturo, calm down, seriously.
Everything went well. The birth was fine.
670
00:42:59,660 --> 00:43:02,621
What happened, Alejandra?
Tell me what happened.
671
00:43:14,174 --> 00:43:15,759
I lost our child, okay?
672
00:43:16,343 --> 00:43:18,261
- What?
- I lost our baby months ago.
673
00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:20,306
What do you mean, you lost the baby?
674
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:22,516
How could…?
675
00:43:27,021 --> 00:43:28,147
Look.
676
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:32,108
- They gave me this baby.
- What? Are you serious?
677
00:43:32,109 --> 00:43:34,277
Arturo! Arturo!
678
00:43:34,278 --> 00:43:37,822
Listen to me. They gave her to me!
Arturo, they gave her to me.
679
00:43:37,823 --> 00:43:40,491
- What'll I do with you? You're crazy.
- What do you mean?
680
00:43:40,492 --> 00:43:43,077
- Get out and give them that baby.
- I'm not going!
681
00:43:43,078 --> 00:43:45,038
- Take her back!
- I'm not taking her back!
682
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:48,124
- Take that baby back. Get out of the car!
- I'm not taking her back!
683
00:43:48,125 --> 00:43:51,336
- I'm not taking her back!
- People don't give babies away! Get out.
684
00:43:51,337 --> 00:43:52,921
Get the fuck out of here!
685
00:43:58,093 --> 00:44:01,012
Arturo, please, listen to me. Arturo.
686
00:44:01,013 --> 00:44:03,766
Arturo, just…
I am telling you, I am begging you.
687
00:44:04,391 --> 00:44:07,353
The baby didn't do anything.
What will happen to her?
688
00:44:08,103 --> 00:44:11,689
Arturo, I’m talking to you! Listen to me!
689
00:44:11,690 --> 00:44:14,067
Ah! Fine, get in!
690
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:18,489
EXIT
691
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:30,334
What are you gonna do?
692
00:44:31,377 --> 00:44:32,419
Well…
693
00:44:32,961 --> 00:44:36,006
It's just that Mayra,
the baby's mom, leaves early tomorrow.
694
00:44:36,924 --> 00:44:40,636
I was going to pretend to be a family
member so they would let her go home.
695
00:44:41,136 --> 00:44:45,348
And then, when you guys got there, I would
already have the baby and paperwork.
696
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:48,018
That's it, Arturo.
I didn't think this would happen.
697
00:44:48,519 --> 00:44:50,688
- This just isn't right.
- Forgive me.
698
00:44:51,522 --> 00:44:54,191
I love you, Arturo.
Please, please forgive me.
699
00:44:54,692 --> 00:44:57,236
- Don't leave, my love.
- So that's why you lied then?
700
00:44:58,946 --> 00:45:00,489
They couldn't find me out.
701
00:45:01,532 --> 00:45:03,074
What would they say?
702
00:45:03,075 --> 00:45:06,578
- Someone just gave her away.
- Why'd you keep me in the dark, Alejandra?
703
00:45:07,663 --> 00:45:11,250
What are you getting me into, dammit?
I don't know. I don't know.
704
00:45:12,876 --> 00:45:14,752
Shh. Shh.
705
00:45:14,753 --> 00:45:16,672
It's okay, it's okay.
706
00:45:29,351 --> 00:45:32,229
I don't care how you do it,
but I want my child, okay?
707
00:45:46,201 --> 00:45:48,495
You're okay.
708
00:45:50,998 --> 00:45:52,374
Give her to me.
709
00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:56,920
It's okay.
710
00:45:59,339 --> 00:46:01,759
It's okay.
711
00:46:02,634 --> 00:46:03,886
It's okay.
712
00:46:05,387 --> 00:46:08,432
No, no, don't be scared.
713
00:46:18,567 --> 00:46:20,110
It's okay, baby.
714
00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:25,466
- Police!
- Police! Hands up!
715
00:47:25,467 --> 00:47:28,052
- What happened?!
- Hands where I can see them!
716
00:47:28,053 --> 00:47:31,347
We didn't do anything!
717
00:47:31,348 --> 00:47:32,348
Move it!
718
00:47:32,349 --> 00:47:35,810
- No, no, no! Let go of me!
- Hey, calm down. Okay?
719
00:47:35,811 --> 00:47:38,813
- We're going to get her checked out.
- I'm her mama!
720
00:47:38,814 --> 00:47:42,066
- Arturo, my daughter! I'm her mama!
- Nothing's going to happen.
721
00:47:42,067 --> 00:47:45,570
Going to see if she's okay.
722
00:47:45,571 --> 00:47:47,905
Ale, just do it! Just give her to 'em!
723
00:47:47,906 --> 00:47:50,783
That's it, hand her over, slowly.
724
00:47:50,784 --> 00:47:53,244
- We've got the girl back.
- Let her go!
725
00:47:53,245 --> 00:47:56,789
Let her go, you bastard! Let her go!
726
00:47:56,790 --> 00:47:58,457
Stop hurting her, asshole!
727
00:47:58,458 --> 00:48:00,835
Shut your mouth! You hear me?
728
00:48:00,836 --> 00:48:03,087
- Identify yourself!
- Arturo Calderón Gamino!
729
00:48:03,088 --> 00:48:04,589
And you? And you?!
730
00:48:04,590 --> 00:48:07,049
She's Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza!
731
00:48:07,050 --> 00:48:09,511
Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza!
732
00:48:37,873 --> 00:48:40,541
We're playing songs from the past.
733
00:48:40,542 --> 00:48:43,587
For the romantics, we have this classic.
734
00:48:50,969 --> 00:48:54,180
We were in the squad car,
and that song started playing.
735
00:48:54,181 --> 00:48:56,724
And the fact that we danced to it
on our wedding day,
736
00:48:56,725 --> 00:48:59,185
that it was our special dance,
737
00:48:59,186 --> 00:49:02,522
and to be hearing it then was like…
738
00:49:04,191 --> 00:49:07,778
I don't know, like for me, I felt like
739
00:49:09,029 --> 00:49:11,614
love is real and we were gonna be okay.
740
00:49:11,615 --> 00:49:13,032
That's how I felt.
741
00:49:13,033 --> 00:49:15,868
And time
742
00:49:15,869 --> 00:49:18,537
Goes by
743
00:49:18,538 --> 00:49:20,915
Sir, please, would you turn off that song?
744
00:49:20,916 --> 00:49:22,876
Sir, please turn off that song!
745
00:49:23,877 --> 00:49:27,214
Please, for the love of God, turn it off.
Please, just turn it off.
746
00:49:46,274 --> 00:49:48,859
Ale!
747
00:49:48,860 --> 00:49:50,612
Can we get a picture?
748
00:49:55,784 --> 00:49:58,786
- Did your husband help?
- Plan everything together?
749
00:49:58,787 --> 00:50:02,207
No, my husband had nothing
to do with this. And I'm not a thief.
750
00:50:04,376 --> 00:50:06,628
I made arrangements
with the girl's mother.
751
00:50:07,504 --> 00:50:10,089
Five months ago I saw her at the hospital.
752
00:50:10,090 --> 00:50:12,550
We both talked at the clinic,
753
00:50:12,551 --> 00:50:14,468
her and I, so…
754
00:50:14,469 --> 00:50:17,847
She said she was a mother and single,
that it was her second child,
755
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:21,017
with a different father,
and that she wanted to abort it.
756
00:50:21,018 --> 00:50:24,103
She told me she wanted
to get rid of it or give it away.
757
00:50:24,104 --> 00:50:26,689
She assured me
she knew what she wanted to do with it,
758
00:50:26,690 --> 00:50:28,190
so I asked to be considered.
759
00:50:28,191 --> 00:50:30,943
If you two had
an arrangement, why did you take the baby?
760
00:50:30,944 --> 00:50:33,487
Arturo, were you part of the plan?
761
00:50:33,488 --> 00:50:36,198
{\an8}FEDERAL DISTRICT'S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
762
00:50:36,199 --> 00:50:38,492
{\an8}They call her the baby snatcher.
763
00:50:38,493 --> 00:50:41,787
{\an8}Authorities believe she had help
from her husband, Arturo Calderón.
764
00:50:41,788 --> 00:50:44,749
…Mendoza and Arturo Calderón Gamino
765
00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:47,668
the two suspects accused
of abducting a baby.
766
00:50:47,669 --> 00:50:50,755
They stole the newborn
from Mexico General Hospital
767
00:50:50,756 --> 00:50:53,884
while the parents were left
with overwhelming despair.
768
00:51:15,530 --> 00:51:19,617
In another life
769
00:51:19,618 --> 00:51:23,496
We got married
And traveled all over the world
770
00:51:23,497 --> 00:51:27,249
We moved to a flat on the second floor
771
00:51:27,250 --> 00:51:31,546
My parents
And your parents are friends
772
00:51:32,798 --> 00:51:35,049
Our children
773
00:51:35,050 --> 00:51:39,011
Have my patience and your smile
774
00:51:39,012 --> 00:51:42,807
We go for strolls
And we read poetry
775
00:51:42,808 --> 00:51:47,104
Shit, we had a great other life
776
00:51:48,313 --> 00:51:50,481
Not this one
777
00:51:50,482 --> 00:51:54,443
I don’t know why it didn’t work out
778
00:51:54,444 --> 00:51:58,239
Maybe it was a whim of God
779
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:04,120
The courage
That they both always lacked
780
00:52:04,121 --> 00:52:10,167
But I'll wait for you here
781
00:52:10,168 --> 00:52:14,046
If you change your mind
782
00:52:14,047 --> 00:52:17,592
It's not too late to return…
783
00:52:20,220 --> 00:52:25,809
I’ve served 13 years,
3 months and 25 days in prison.
784
00:52:35,986 --> 00:52:39,739
When I first got here,
I was very hard for me.
785
00:52:40,949 --> 00:52:44,451
Because not only was Alejandra
going to jail,
786
00:52:44,452 --> 00:52:47,247
Alejandra was also being called a liar.
787
00:52:48,415 --> 00:52:50,667
Alejandra had hurt her parents.
788
00:52:51,877 --> 00:52:55,213
Alejandra had hurt her husband.
789
00:52:58,008 --> 00:53:02,179
Alejandra had done the worst things
without meaning to.
790
00:53:14,524 --> 00:53:17,401
The first few years were hard
because Arturo, my husband,
791
00:53:17,402 --> 00:53:19,236
was considered my accomplice.
792
00:53:19,237 --> 00:53:23,032
so I felt guilty about everything
that was happening to him.
793
00:53:23,033 --> 00:53:25,993
I mean, I wanted to go through
what he was going through.
794
00:53:25,994 --> 00:53:27,828
I wanted to…
795
00:53:27,829 --> 00:53:31,165
If it was Arturo's turn
to use the bathroom at the men's prison,
796
00:53:31,166 --> 00:53:34,001
I wanted to be in the bathroom with him.
797
00:53:34,002 --> 00:53:37,838
And if he didn’t eat,
I didn't want to, stuff like that.
798
00:53:37,839 --> 00:53:44,762
{\an8}FEDERAL DISTRICT'S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
799
00:53:44,763 --> 00:53:47,849
She did something unforgivable
in that moment.
800
00:53:49,809 --> 00:53:54,314
And yeah, the feeling
is rage, pretty much.
801
00:53:55,899 --> 00:53:59,736
That's the only thing that…
that I could feel toward her at the time.
802
00:54:00,570 --> 00:54:04,531
I kept thinking, "Will this have
consequences, legally speaking,
803
00:54:04,532 --> 00:54:07,576
or, like, kill my love for her?"
804
00:54:07,577 --> 00:54:10,413
"Or should I just divorce Alejandra
because of this lie?"
805
00:54:12,290 --> 00:54:14,875
"Because she deceived me
because this is not my baby,
806
00:54:14,876 --> 00:54:17,544
because she did things
she shouldn't have?"
807
00:54:17,545 --> 00:54:21,298
"Or because she's not a good wife,"
and stuff like that.
808
00:54:21,299 --> 00:54:23,092
"I'll never see her again."
809
00:54:23,093 --> 00:54:25,844
That’s the only thing
I thought about while I was in jail.
810
00:54:25,845 --> 00:54:28,013
Your head is about to explode.
811
00:54:28,014 --> 00:54:29,599
I mean, the fear.
812
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:33,687
The terror,
it later becomes terror. It's just…
813
00:54:34,229 --> 00:54:36,939
You want to cry and can't
because they will beat you up.
814
00:54:36,940 --> 00:54:39,901
Or they'll beat you up even worse
because you're crying.
815
00:54:40,735 --> 00:54:42,403
No, I mean, you're broken.
816
00:54:42,404 --> 00:54:45,448
Emotionally, physically and in every way.
817
00:54:45,949 --> 00:54:48,451
That's just part of the deal
when you go to jail.
818
00:54:50,954 --> 00:54:52,955
Like that other shade.
819
00:54:52,956 --> 00:54:54,790
I like this shade.
820
00:54:54,791 --> 00:54:57,585
Here are the others.
I'll give you the other one later.
821
00:54:59,587 --> 00:55:02,340
Go for a 4.1 or a 5.1
822
00:55:02,882 --> 00:55:05,176
Oh, don't talk to Arturo,
baby, because you won't.
823
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,596
Yesterday, when I called
Arturo, he was really intense.
824
00:55:09,597 --> 00:55:10,639
I heard.
825
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,808
Oh, you were inside already?
826
00:55:12,809 --> 00:55:14,351
- So you heard.
- What?
827
00:55:14,352 --> 00:55:17,688
He got intense last night.
I called him and I'm like, "Hi, honey--"
828
00:55:17,689 --> 00:55:19,773
He's going through andropause.
829
00:55:19,774 --> 00:55:21,775
I said, "Hi, honey. How are you?"
830
00:55:21,776 --> 00:55:24,654
And he says, "Hi. Fine, and you?"
831
00:55:25,196 --> 00:55:28,198
And I say, "Fine, hon. What's up?"
832
00:55:28,199 --> 00:55:29,326
"I'm mad."
833
00:55:29,826 --> 00:55:31,285
Poor sweet thing.
834
00:55:31,286 --> 00:55:34,413
His heart is aching.
You have to give in a little too.
835
00:55:34,414 --> 00:55:36,165
You just want him to give in?
836
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:39,419
So what am I gonna do? Whatever he wants?
837
00:55:40,545 --> 00:55:41,879
Beats me, girl.
838
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,922
{\an8}Hurray for women's liberation.
839
00:55:43,923 --> 00:55:46,550
Just that he always wins.
840
00:55:46,551 --> 00:55:49,679
You won't…
You won't be able to control him anymore.
841
00:55:50,221 --> 00:55:52,515
- No one values how hard he tries.
- Oh, no.
842
00:55:57,687 --> 00:56:01,815
Pay attention, because this investigation
has two possible theories.
843
00:56:01,816 --> 00:56:04,026
First, is that the girl was stolen.
844
00:56:04,027 --> 00:56:07,196
Second hypothesis
is that she was given away.
845
00:56:07,197 --> 00:56:08,364
But why?
846
00:56:08,365 --> 00:56:10,866
At the time of her arrest,
this woman testified
847
00:56:10,867 --> 00:56:14,412
that the baby was given away
by her birth mother.
848
00:56:14,954 --> 00:56:17,665
Five months ago,
I met her at the hospital.
849
00:56:18,166 --> 00:56:22,796
We were at the clinic when we had
our first conversation, her and I.
850
00:56:23,713 --> 00:56:26,131
She tells me she was a single mother,
851
00:56:26,132 --> 00:56:28,760
her second child with a different father,
852
00:56:29,427 --> 00:56:31,304
and that she wanted an abortion.
853
00:56:31,888 --> 00:56:36,892
She told me that she either wanted
to get rid of it or give away the baby.
854
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:38,519
{\an8}REPORT OF SUSPICIOUS COUPLE
WITH A BABY
855
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,981
{\an8}Eleonor is blaming the newborn’s mother.
856
00:56:42,482 --> 00:56:44,942
She said that they had made a deal
857
00:56:44,943 --> 00:56:47,654
that she would give her the baby.
858
00:56:48,279 --> 00:56:51,282
I felt guilty for leaving her alone.
859
00:56:51,783 --> 00:56:53,450
It was awful.
860
00:56:53,451 --> 00:56:55,661
Desperation, anguish…
861
00:56:55,662 --> 00:56:57,539
I wanted to hug her.
862
00:56:58,623 --> 00:57:01,625
I hope she forgives me
for leaving her alone.
863
00:57:01,626 --> 00:57:05,879
The justice system will be responsible
for shedding light on what happened
864
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,134
and, of course,
for punishing those responsible.
865
00:57:10,093 --> 00:57:13,096
As a judge, you can’t, um…
866
00:57:14,431 --> 00:57:17,642
dismiss a version of the facts
867
00:57:18,601 --> 00:57:21,353
under the premise that,
"Oh, this is incredible,"
868
00:57:21,354 --> 00:57:24,773
or "No, it’s impossible
that this happened."
869
00:57:24,774 --> 00:57:27,276
"No, this doesn’t happen in real life."
870
00:57:27,277 --> 00:57:31,363
Let's just say
that more things happen in real life
871
00:57:31,364 --> 00:57:34,075
than fiction could ever envision.
872
00:57:34,617 --> 00:57:36,660
So, it was possible.
873
00:57:36,661 --> 00:57:40,956
It was possible that she had an agreement
with the girl's mother.
874
00:57:40,957 --> 00:57:42,082
{\an8}EVIDENCE
875
00:57:42,083 --> 00:57:47,045
{\an8}And we, the judges,
beyond the positions that people may have,
876
00:57:47,046 --> 00:57:50,757
{\an8}the truth is that everything is subject
to how it is proven,
877
00:57:50,758 --> 00:57:54,846
{\an8}or rather, whether it is proven
during the trial itself.
878
00:57:55,930 --> 00:57:58,558
EVIDENCE
879
00:57:59,726 --> 00:58:02,145
{\an8}The wedding veil, what do you think?
880
00:58:04,022 --> 00:58:05,939
{\an8}The other thing I want you to wear--
881
00:58:05,940 --> 00:58:09,526
{\an8}At the trial, Alejandra told her story,
882
00:58:09,527 --> 00:58:12,572
{\an8}and she told it in a very consistent way.
883
00:58:13,072 --> 00:58:16,075
{\an8}regarding the suffering
that she had experienced.
884
00:58:17,410 --> 00:58:19,953
{\an8}A woman with a functional marriage,
885
00:58:19,954 --> 00:58:22,247
{\an8}but who does not feel satisfied
886
00:58:22,248 --> 00:58:26,002
{\an8}because she cannot fulfill the societal
expectation of being a mother.
887
00:58:28,004 --> 00:58:30,964
{\an8}She is criticized by her husband's family,
888
00:58:30,965 --> 00:58:32,425
in the sense that…
889
00:58:33,218 --> 00:58:37,555
"Well, you are probably no good
as a woman if you aren't a mother."
890
00:58:38,598 --> 00:58:43,268
The most a woman who cannot be a mother
can evoke in us is compassion.
891
00:58:43,269 --> 00:58:46,188
In this story, as in many others,
892
00:58:46,189 --> 00:58:48,148
we see how these gender roles
893
00:58:48,149 --> 00:58:52,319
disproportionately affect women,
894
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:56,783
leading to tragic outcomes,
as happened in this case.
895
00:58:58,660 --> 00:59:02,538
A family is the husband,
896
00:59:02,539 --> 00:59:04,749
the mother, the house,
897
00:59:05,458 --> 00:59:06,626
the car,
898
00:59:07,293 --> 00:59:08,378
and the children.
899
00:59:09,587 --> 00:59:13,967
And I think all of that began to cause
psychological damage to my daughter.
900
00:59:16,094 --> 00:59:18,679
When I said,
"I don't want to consider adopting,"
901
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,265
I want a child with my DNA,"
902
00:59:21,266 --> 00:59:25,686
I maybe contributed
to closing myself off in that sense."
903
00:59:25,687 --> 00:59:28,523
At some point, I did put pressure on her
904
00:59:29,232 --> 00:59:31,567
because I said, "I wanna be a dad."
905
00:59:31,568 --> 00:59:34,612
"I want to be a dad,
and I want to have a kid."
906
00:59:36,698 --> 00:59:40,367
Obviously, being in jail, you have
a lot of time to think about things,
907
00:59:40,368 --> 00:59:44,663
to see what
or where you failed as a partner.
908
00:59:44,664 --> 00:59:47,040
At that time, I didn't understand it,
909
00:59:47,041 --> 00:59:49,668
I didn't justify it, I didn't get it.
910
00:59:49,669 --> 00:59:52,713
But I was starting to soften.
911
00:59:52,714 --> 00:59:56,925
And with the problems I've told you about,
the ones I had in jail,
912
00:59:56,926 --> 00:59:58,720
I started to talk more with Ale.
913
01:00:00,305 --> 01:00:03,390
"Ale, I'm sorry
I didn't write to you before."
914
01:00:03,391 --> 01:00:06,893
"I was confused and overwhelmed,
scared and depressed."
915
01:00:06,894 --> 01:00:10,439
"For me, it's very difficult
to justify your lie."
916
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,691
"It causes me a lot of hurt and pain."
917
01:00:12,692 --> 01:00:14,943
"Of course, what happened
was no small thing."
918
01:00:14,944 --> 01:00:18,280
"But even so,
I forgive you with all my heart."
919
01:00:18,281 --> 01:00:22,118
"Hello, my love, my beauty,
my light and my everything."
920
01:00:22,619 --> 01:00:25,872
"I hope the bedbugs let you sleep,
you sleepyhead."
921
01:00:26,372 --> 01:00:30,417
"Hey, my love, I wanted to tell you
something, I hope you don't mind."
922
01:00:30,418 --> 01:00:35,130
"I’m going to work really hard
to save money and be able to do IVF."
923
01:00:35,131 --> 01:00:38,842
"I read in the newspaper that we can
probably get a surrogate, my love,
924
01:00:38,843 --> 01:00:41,303
and that we have
to get through this nightmare."
925
01:00:41,304 --> 01:00:43,221
"You have to be strong."
926
01:00:43,222 --> 01:00:45,099
"I love you with all my heart."
927
01:00:46,142 --> 01:00:48,477
I spent two years in jail.
928
01:00:48,478 --> 01:00:50,646
Two years and six months.
929
01:00:50,647 --> 01:00:52,690
Until the trial was over.
930
01:00:53,399 --> 01:00:55,443
And I was acquitted.
931
01:00:56,152 --> 01:00:59,446
All the psychological damage
you get from being in jail,
932
01:00:59,447 --> 01:01:02,699
they just tell you,
"Your sentence is acquitted."
933
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:05,911
"We'll destroy your record
right here in front of you."
934
01:01:05,912 --> 01:01:08,497
"Look, you don't have a criminal record."
935
01:01:08,498 --> 01:01:10,291
But the scar remains.
936
01:01:11,959 --> 01:01:15,337
What we concluded in terms
of the theory of the crime,
937
01:01:15,338 --> 01:01:18,131
is that there was no malicious intent
on his part.
938
01:01:18,132 --> 01:01:19,424
He wasn’t an accomplice,
939
01:01:19,425 --> 01:01:22,929
because he was only aware of Alejandra's
version of the encounter with Mayra.
940
01:01:24,847 --> 01:01:27,307
And that alleged agreement with Mayra
941
01:01:27,308 --> 01:01:30,103
was the weakest part
of Alejandra's defense.
942
01:01:31,396 --> 01:01:34,981
The General Hospital
reported the disappearance,
943
01:01:34,982 --> 01:01:38,443
and they made the request
to call the police.
944
01:01:38,444 --> 01:01:40,737
When the police arrived,
they talked to her,
945
01:01:40,738 --> 01:01:43,573
and that's when she said,
"Yes, she was stolen from me."
946
01:01:43,574 --> 01:01:46,451
I'm guessing. As I said, I don't know.
947
01:01:46,452 --> 01:01:49,329
But it wasn't until
the hospital reported it.
948
01:01:49,330 --> 01:01:52,499
Obviously, I know that you can't do that,
949
01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:55,420
so it had to be her or me in prison.
950
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,505
She couldn't have said,
"I gave away the baby,"
951
01:01:58,506 --> 01:02:00,633
because that's illegal too, right?
952
01:02:02,218 --> 01:02:05,095
Mayra, it was hard
to get your version of the story.
953
01:02:05,096 --> 01:02:07,974
For a long time,
I had only ever heard Ale’s version,
954
01:02:08,641 --> 01:02:12,477
who told me that you met at the General
Hospital when you were pregnant,
955
01:02:12,478 --> 01:02:15,105
and that on the day of the birth
you left the baby
956
01:02:15,106 --> 01:02:17,191
and told her you were going to Chihuahua.
957
01:02:17,692 --> 01:02:19,527
What do you think of this version?
958
01:02:20,862 --> 01:02:22,989
Well, it's very illogical.
959
01:02:24,407 --> 01:02:26,576
Super illogical, it's very…
960
01:02:28,411 --> 01:02:29,786
I mean,
961
01:02:29,787 --> 01:02:31,747
If you’re going to give away a baby,
962
01:02:31,748 --> 01:02:34,374
you wouldn't do it
inside the hospital, right?
963
01:02:34,375 --> 01:02:36,627
You wouldn't take her the way she did.
964
01:02:40,173 --> 01:02:42,340
There was never a deal, never.
965
01:02:42,341 --> 01:02:45,677
{\an8}I'm telling you, I didn't see her
until the day Katya was born,
966
01:02:45,678 --> 01:02:47,554
{\an8}and the evidence shows that.
967
01:02:47,555 --> 01:02:50,933
{\an8}My pregnancy checkup records
are at the health center.
968
01:02:51,434 --> 01:02:54,520
I only went to the hospital
to give birth, nothing else.
969
01:02:55,563 --> 01:02:57,981
I had my pregnancy check-ups
at a health center.
970
01:02:57,982 --> 01:03:00,568
I never set foot
in the hospital before that.
971
01:03:01,694 --> 01:03:04,112
There is no way I could have met her.
972
01:03:04,113 --> 01:03:06,782
PRENATAL CHECKUP
973
01:03:06,783 --> 01:03:10,869
There were documents,
like Mayra's appointment card
974
01:03:10,870 --> 01:03:14,039
where you could see
that her pregnancy checkups
975
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,999
were at a different clinic.
976
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,754
It wasn't until very late,
almost at the end of her pregnancy,
977
01:03:20,755 --> 01:03:22,965
when she went to the General Hospital.
978
01:03:23,466 --> 01:03:25,425
So, there was no correlation
979
01:03:25,426 --> 01:03:28,888
between the circumstances
described by Alejandra
980
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:34,351
and the fact that, actually, Mayra had not
been physically at the hospital
981
01:03:34,352 --> 01:03:38,147
until just a few weeks
before giving birth.
982
01:03:41,567 --> 01:03:46,572
She was wandering around
the labor and delivery unit
983
01:03:47,907 --> 01:03:51,326
and came to tell me
that she was doing a survey.
984
01:03:51,327 --> 01:03:54,454
He showed me her ID,
her badge, and I trusted her.
985
01:03:54,455 --> 01:03:56,790
She started asking a lot of questions.
986
01:03:56,791 --> 01:03:58,917
She asked if it was my first daughter,
987
01:03:58,918 --> 01:04:00,836
if this was from the same marriage,
988
01:04:00,837 --> 01:04:05,173
and, well,
how was my relationship with the father.
989
01:04:05,174 --> 01:04:07,426
I mean, she got everything from there.
990
01:04:08,135 --> 01:04:11,722
Everything she told the police
was practically everything she asked me.
991
01:04:12,765 --> 01:04:15,976
Ale, what doesn’t fit
in your story is that the file says
992
01:04:15,977 --> 01:04:19,437
you arrived at the hospital
posing as a social worker.
993
01:04:19,438 --> 01:04:21,857
Were you conducting surveys?
994
01:04:21,858 --> 01:04:25,402
A lot of people might say that, you know,
995
01:04:25,403 --> 01:04:27,237
that I was doing surveys.
996
01:04:27,238 --> 01:04:29,698
The truth is, it wasn't like that.
997
01:04:29,699 --> 01:04:32,826
You went to the maternity
ward saying you were a relative?
998
01:04:32,827 --> 01:04:36,037
- That she was my neighbor.
- I came to see a neighbor.
999
01:04:36,038 --> 01:04:37,581
Things like that.
1000
01:04:37,582 --> 01:04:41,711
That she was my neighbor,
and I had to go in to see her, and so on.
1001
01:04:43,087 --> 01:04:46,339
{\an8}ELEONOR ALEJANDRA MARÍN MENDOZA
AREA 3 - UROLOGY
1002
01:04:46,340 --> 01:04:49,802
They found the sweater
Alejandra was wearing,
1003
01:04:50,303 --> 01:04:55,099
which had the badge
with her ID as hospital worker.
1004
01:04:55,892 --> 01:04:59,728
And they also found this folder
with the surveys,
1005
01:04:59,729 --> 01:05:02,981
which were the documents
Alejandra took with her
1006
01:05:02,982 --> 01:05:05,026
to start up a conversation.
1007
01:05:06,110 --> 01:05:08,279
I went into the hospital,
1008
01:05:08,779 --> 01:05:11,156
and Mayra was in bed.
1009
01:05:11,157 --> 01:05:13,283
I asked her, "How are you feeling?"
1010
01:05:13,284 --> 01:05:16,287
She said, "Really bad.
I have a high fever."
1011
01:05:17,246 --> 01:05:19,373
And then she said, "There's the baby."
1012
01:05:19,957 --> 01:05:24,377
And, well, I saw my daughter
for the first time, and
1013
01:05:24,378 --> 01:05:25,712
I fell in love with her.
1014
01:05:25,713 --> 01:05:28,507
- Vale.
- Okay. My girl.
1015
01:05:29,967 --> 01:05:31,427
We're asleep.
1016
01:05:33,304 --> 01:05:34,971
For when she's older.
1017
01:05:34,972 --> 01:05:39,060
I'll have the video edited so she can see
where she was when she was born.
1018
01:05:40,561 --> 01:05:44,105
At that point,
when I got there to meet my daughter,
1019
01:05:44,106 --> 01:05:45,941
Mayra was with someone.
1020
01:05:45,942 --> 01:05:48,194
I said, "Mayra, who is this?"
1021
01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:53,574
And Mayra said to me, "She’s a social
worker who's doing some surveys."
1022
01:05:54,367 --> 01:05:56,826
That's when she got up and left.
1023
01:05:56,827 --> 01:05:59,830
She got up,
left the papers and walked out.
1024
01:06:00,873 --> 01:06:04,876
Around 6:00 p.m. when visiting hours
were over, I went back to the room.
1025
01:06:04,877 --> 01:06:07,379
And she had already taken a shower.
1026
01:06:07,380 --> 01:06:09,507
And I said, "Is everything okay?"
1027
01:06:10,383 --> 01:06:15,053
And she said, "Yes, but he's gonna pay
for it, that motherfucker."
1028
01:06:15,054 --> 01:06:17,556
You know what?
Keep her, just like we agreed.
1029
01:06:18,057 --> 01:06:19,516
What do you mean?
1030
01:06:19,517 --> 01:06:22,060
She said to me, "I’m going to Chihuahua."
1031
01:06:22,061 --> 01:06:24,229
- I'm going to Chihuahua.
- You can't leave.
1032
01:06:24,230 --> 01:06:27,607
And I was like, "What?
What do you mean, you're leaving?"
1033
01:06:27,608 --> 01:06:30,403
I had a fever of almost 104 degrees.
1034
01:06:31,112 --> 01:06:34,531
They couldn't discharge me
because I had an infection.
1035
01:06:34,532 --> 01:06:37,283
They sent me for some urine tests.
1036
01:06:37,284 --> 01:06:39,703
I left the room and told my roommates,
1037
01:06:39,704 --> 01:06:41,663
I had two roommates,
1038
01:06:41,664 --> 01:06:44,667
"Keep an eye on my baby.
I'll be right back."
1039
01:06:45,126 --> 01:06:48,003
The bathroom was just
a few steps from the room.
1040
01:06:48,004 --> 01:06:51,256
I came back, and my daughter was gone.
1041
01:06:51,257 --> 01:06:55,427
The first thing I thought was,
"Well, maybe they're bathing her,
1042
01:06:55,428 --> 01:06:57,680
or they took her to feed her."
1043
01:06:58,347 --> 01:07:00,348
I was sure a nurse had her.
1044
01:07:00,349 --> 01:07:03,436
Never, never did I think
my baby was kidnapped.
1045
01:07:29,837 --> 01:07:32,964
I was just told that my baby
was kidnapped from this hospital,
1046
01:07:32,965 --> 01:07:34,508
the General Hospital.
1047
01:07:35,134 --> 01:07:38,178
- I love my baby so much.
- Talk to the public.
1048
01:07:38,179 --> 01:07:40,681
Please, help me get my baby back.
1049
01:07:41,557 --> 01:07:44,601
If you have her…
1050
01:07:44,602 --> 01:07:47,145
I'll give you my life,
everything I have,
1051
01:07:47,146 --> 01:07:50,775
but please, give her back to me, please.
1052
01:07:51,609 --> 01:07:54,153
Is there anything else you'd like to say?
1053
01:07:54,653 --> 01:07:56,738
This happened in a public hospital.
1054
01:07:56,739 --> 01:07:57,822
OB-GYN EMERGENCIES
1055
01:07:57,823 --> 01:08:01,118
There is major institutional
accountability here.
1056
01:08:01,702 --> 01:08:04,788
The hospital security didn't work.
1057
01:08:04,789 --> 01:08:07,791
There was disregard
for Alejandra's situation,
1058
01:08:07,792 --> 01:08:11,169
having lost three babies
in the public health system.
1059
01:08:11,170 --> 01:08:13,421
There was no psychiatric intervention,
1060
01:08:13,422 --> 01:08:15,965
no one picked up
on what she was going through.
1061
01:08:15,966 --> 01:08:18,176
And on top of all of this,
1062
01:08:18,177 --> 01:08:21,429
Alejandra was actually
granted maternity leave
1063
01:08:21,430 --> 01:08:24,265
by a public health institution.
1064
01:08:24,266 --> 01:08:27,227
This was amazingly hard to believe.
1065
01:08:27,228 --> 01:08:28,854
And yet, it happened.
1066
01:08:31,232 --> 01:08:35,026
The doctor measured me, he checked me
1067
01:08:35,027 --> 01:08:36,945
and he weighed me.
1068
01:08:36,946 --> 01:08:39,322
- Good.
- He heard the heartbeat.
1069
01:08:39,323 --> 01:08:41,282
I’ll grant you your maternity leave.
1070
01:08:41,283 --> 01:08:44,911
And honestly, you could hear it.
You could hear it.
1071
01:08:44,912 --> 01:08:46,996
Psychologists later told me,
1072
01:08:46,997 --> 01:08:50,417
in my court-mandated
psychological evaluation…
1073
01:08:51,794 --> 01:08:54,296
They explained to me that
1074
01:08:55,047 --> 01:08:58,258
oftentimes, your mind,
1075
01:08:58,259 --> 01:09:01,302
you suddenly strain your mind
1076
01:09:01,303 --> 01:09:04,807
into kind of echoing everything.
1077
01:09:06,100 --> 01:09:08,185
Which is what the doctor heard.
1078
01:09:09,478 --> 01:09:13,565
When two psychologists intervened,
they gave us an explanation
1079
01:09:13,566 --> 01:09:16,401
that clinically-speaking,
1080
01:09:16,402 --> 01:09:20,321
there are such things
as pseudo-pregnancies.
1081
01:09:20,322 --> 01:09:22,907
Her psychological pregnancy was a way
1082
01:09:22,908 --> 01:09:25,410
to mitigate the reality
of not having children.
1083
01:09:25,411 --> 01:09:28,288
It's a way, her reaction,
1084
01:09:28,289 --> 01:09:31,458
to all of the social demands
from her family.
1085
01:09:32,084 --> 01:09:34,586
So that's when the suggestion starts
1086
01:09:34,587 --> 01:09:37,046
and her psychological pregnancy begins.
1087
01:09:37,047 --> 01:09:39,716
And she says, "I started to gain weight."
1088
01:09:39,717 --> 01:09:42,010
"I started to feel nauseous."
1089
01:09:42,011 --> 01:09:44,262
"I started to feel pain in my hips."
1090
01:09:44,263 --> 01:09:47,223
She says, "My stomach started to grow."
1091
01:09:47,224 --> 01:09:48,433
- Sweetie.
- What?
1092
01:09:48,434 --> 01:09:52,854
- Our baby is coming tomorrow.
- Mm-hm.
1093
01:09:52,855 --> 01:09:54,440
Aren't you excited?
1094
01:09:55,608 --> 01:09:58,193
So much I can't even show it.
1095
01:09:58,194 --> 01:09:59,944
Let's see that big belly.
1096
01:09:59,945 --> 01:10:05,074
Before he's born, he can, when he sees
this video in about ten years,
1097
01:10:05,075 --> 01:10:08,287
he'll see how big
your belly was, the baby.
1098
01:10:09,455 --> 01:10:11,040
My baby is in there.
1099
01:10:12,708 --> 01:10:14,710
My son!
1100
01:10:15,544 --> 01:10:18,130
My beautiful baby.
1101
01:10:18,631 --> 01:10:23,051
Tomorrow, on Ishmael's Day,
but he'll be named Arturo
1102
01:10:23,052 --> 01:10:24,761
like his fucking father.
1103
01:10:24,762 --> 01:10:27,013
Everyone's going to come see him.
1104
01:10:27,014 --> 01:10:29,432
With the pressure of having children
1105
01:10:29,433 --> 01:10:33,437
and Alejandra's history
of losing two prior pregnancies,
1106
01:10:33,938 --> 01:10:37,066
I understand that she believes this story.
1107
01:10:37,983 --> 01:10:40,235
And she also has the ability
1108
01:10:40,236 --> 01:10:43,739
to make everyone
around her believe it too.
1109
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,699
He’s going to live here with us
1110
01:10:46,700 --> 01:10:48,702
in his house that we bought
1111
01:10:49,411 --> 01:10:50,704
just for him.
1112
01:10:51,914 --> 01:10:52,915
Right?
1113
01:11:00,506 --> 01:11:01,548
Right?
1114
01:11:04,051 --> 01:11:06,386
Evidence was presented that,
1115
01:11:06,387 --> 01:11:10,473
that I think
was conclusive in this regard.
1116
01:11:10,474 --> 01:11:12,767
There had been a baby shower.
1117
01:11:12,768 --> 01:11:16,688
They set up the monitor
and played the video
1118
01:11:16,689 --> 01:11:18,648
right there in the court.
1119
01:11:18,649 --> 01:11:19,732
It was shocking.
1120
01:11:19,733 --> 01:11:24,779
Because unless they
were all great actors and actresses,
1121
01:11:24,780 --> 01:11:26,698
it was conclusive proof
1122
01:11:26,699 --> 01:11:30,452
that Alejandra made her entire family
1123
01:11:30,953 --> 01:11:34,497
and other attendants believe
that she was pregnant.
1124
01:11:34,498 --> 01:11:36,083
Sofi, sit down, honey.
1125
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:41,629
Wow!
1126
01:11:41,630 --> 01:11:43,382
Bravo!
1127
01:11:45,509 --> 01:11:49,513
Aw, how cute!
1128
01:11:50,222 --> 01:11:52,390
Ah, what could it be?
1129
01:11:52,391 --> 01:11:55,476
No, no, no. I didn’t guess,
it’s just a hunch.
1130
01:11:55,477 --> 01:11:57,395
They say you have to touch it.
1131
01:11:57,396 --> 01:12:01,566
Rah-rah-boom, let’s go!
1132
01:12:01,567 --> 01:12:05,361
Boom-bam-rah-rah, hooray!
1133
01:12:05,362 --> 01:12:09,450
The baby, the baby! Rah, rah, rah!
1134
01:12:10,576 --> 01:12:12,702
Okay, does anyone want to say a few words
1135
01:12:12,703 --> 01:12:14,537
- or congratulate her?
- Me.
1136
01:12:14,538 --> 01:12:16,622
- María can do it, okay.
- Me, me.
1137
01:12:16,623 --> 01:12:20,460
- The mama.
- I, um, I want to thank you all.
1138
01:12:20,461 --> 01:12:24,380
You know, all her friends, after so many
years of knowing each other,
1139
01:12:24,381 --> 01:12:26,215
my sisters, my family.
1140
01:12:26,216 --> 01:12:28,551
Thank you all for coming
to celebrate with me,
1141
01:12:28,552 --> 01:12:30,887
because this baby has been long awaited.
1142
01:12:30,888 --> 01:12:33,514
- By the whole family.
- By this whole family.
1143
01:12:33,515 --> 01:12:35,600
And I hope everything goes well, my dear.
1144
01:12:35,601 --> 01:12:37,560
Everything will be fine.
1145
01:12:37,561 --> 01:12:40,355
- A beautiful baby girl.
- Bravo!
1146
01:12:40,356 --> 01:12:44,192
I thought, "I'm gonna
have a grandchild from my daughter?"
1147
01:12:44,193 --> 01:12:48,072
But, when I saw the video,
I saw that sadness in her.
1148
01:12:49,531 --> 01:12:51,449
Immense sadness.
1149
01:12:51,450 --> 01:12:54,078
And that's why I think
she couldn't stop crying.
1150
01:12:55,913 --> 01:12:58,122
I said, "Hey,
you've gotta be happy, look,"
1151
01:12:58,123 --> 01:13:01,043
I hugged her and everything,
you know, because
1152
01:13:02,294 --> 01:13:04,296
it’s something we wanted.
1153
01:13:16,767 --> 01:13:19,519
- How's it going?
- What are you doing?
1154
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,563
I'm here, my love, getting ready to leave.
1155
01:13:22,564 --> 01:13:24,316
Ah, okay. And dad?
1156
01:13:25,109 --> 01:13:26,609
He's here.
1157
01:13:26,610 --> 01:13:28,903
What? What is Dad doing?
1158
01:13:28,904 --> 01:13:31,280
We were putting some things away.
1159
01:13:31,281 --> 01:13:32,658
Did you have breakfast?
1160
01:13:33,409 --> 01:13:34,826
Well…
1161
01:13:34,827 --> 01:13:38,246
I was chopping an onion and all that.
1162
01:13:38,247 --> 01:13:39,248
Uh-huh.
1163
01:13:39,748 --> 01:13:44,335
And I just made myself
a ham omelet with cheese.
1164
01:13:44,336 --> 01:13:46,629
Oh, good. I'm glad you had breakfast.
1165
01:13:46,630 --> 01:13:49,550
I made your dad some scrambled eggs.
1166
01:13:57,141 --> 01:13:59,268
When you tell me to, I'll go over.
1167
01:14:00,102 --> 01:14:03,354
From the results
of the psychological evaluations,
1168
01:14:03,355 --> 01:14:06,274
the diagnosis we made of Alejandra
1169
01:14:06,275 --> 01:14:08,901
was that she tends to dissociate.
1170
01:14:08,902 --> 01:14:12,280
And, in that dissociation,
she convinces herself something is true
1171
01:14:12,281 --> 01:14:14,783
and is able to confuse fantasy
with reality.
1172
01:14:16,410 --> 01:14:19,788
And, if you add to that,
the pressure of wanting to be a mom,
1173
01:14:20,330 --> 01:14:22,707
it's what makes her misinterpret facts.
1174
01:14:22,708 --> 01:14:24,375
Because what she does wrong is,
1175
01:14:24,376 --> 01:14:26,920
she interprets everything in her favor.
1176
01:14:33,510 --> 01:14:37,347
After the psychological evaluation
and the evidence submitted,
1177
01:14:37,931 --> 01:14:41,476
it wouldn't take much effort for anyone
1178
01:14:41,477 --> 01:14:44,979
to see how the story was coming together.
1179
01:14:44,980 --> 01:14:47,690
And, in the end,
the only thing that didn’t fit
1180
01:14:47,691 --> 01:14:52,237
was Mayra's alleged consent,
or the claims that she had consented.
1181
01:15:02,998 --> 01:15:06,501
With the history
of her psychological pregnancy,
1182
01:15:06,502 --> 01:15:08,294
all the social pressure,
1183
01:15:08,295 --> 01:15:12,340
we thought that Alejandra had acted
under the effect of this disorder,
1184
01:15:12,341 --> 01:15:15,635
and this had a significant impact
on how much punishment
1185
01:15:15,636 --> 01:15:17,221
she actually deserved.
1186
01:15:17,721 --> 01:15:19,889
Of course, other factors came into play,
1187
01:15:19,890 --> 01:15:23,559
and a very important factor
was that the baby girl was fine.
1188
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,770
I opted for the minimum sentence.
1189
01:15:25,771 --> 01:15:28,231
I couldn't have imposed a lesser sentence,
1190
01:15:28,232 --> 01:15:30,942
because her behavior was very serious.
1191
01:15:30,943 --> 01:15:33,152
There was a victim, and in addition,
1192
01:15:33,153 --> 01:15:36,615
a father and a mother
who also wanted justice.
1193
01:15:38,408 --> 01:15:40,619
I don't have any sympathy for her.
1194
01:15:41,411 --> 01:15:42,788
I never have.
1195
01:15:43,956 --> 01:15:47,042
She didn't feel any sympathy
when she kidnapped my daughter.
1196
01:15:47,876 --> 01:15:50,629
And she hasn't shown any remorse either.
1197
01:15:53,382 --> 01:15:56,760
If you ask me
if I have forgiven her or if I…
1198
01:15:58,762 --> 01:16:00,472
It's something that…
1199
01:16:02,724 --> 01:16:05,561
No, I couldn't do
and I don't think I can ever forgive her.
1200
01:16:07,896 --> 01:16:12,024
"This court finds
Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza
1201
01:16:12,025 --> 01:16:13,485
criminally responsible
1202
01:16:14,069 --> 01:16:17,738
for the crime
of unlawful kidnapping of a minor
1203
01:16:17,739 --> 01:16:19,991
under 16 years old of age
1204
01:16:19,992 --> 01:16:24,788
with the intention
of harming her or someone else."
1205
01:16:25,289 --> 01:16:27,957
"It is therefore fitting
to impose a sentence
1206
01:16:27,958 --> 01:16:31,795
of 13 years and 4 months
in prison and a fine."
1207
01:16:38,218 --> 01:16:40,971
I don't know why you're here,
and I don't care.
1208
01:16:41,722 --> 01:16:43,974
But you suffered a lot.
1209
01:16:44,558 --> 01:16:46,642
It will be very hard for you.
1210
01:16:46,643 --> 01:16:50,564
But you will manage,
because your first card is triumph.
1211
01:16:51,690 --> 01:16:52,899
This is you.
1212
01:16:54,192 --> 01:16:56,402
In a good financial situation.
1213
01:16:56,403 --> 01:16:58,321
Here is your family.
1214
01:16:58,322 --> 01:17:01,824
With all your paperwork in order
and the marriage.
1215
01:17:01,825 --> 01:17:05,453
This is a good prison, a Kabbalistic
number seven, that you are in.
1216
01:17:05,454 --> 01:17:07,580
You haven't been in a bad prison.
1217
01:17:07,581 --> 01:17:11,334
Here is a card that is a bad card.
1218
01:17:11,335 --> 01:17:14,045
Maybe you will see it with your partner.
1219
01:17:14,046 --> 01:17:17,382
Maybe you will catch him cheating on you.
1220
01:17:17,966 --> 01:17:21,803
You will find something out,
because it's up here, infidelity.
1221
01:17:22,346 --> 01:17:23,722
Another question, my dear.
1222
01:17:24,431 --> 01:17:25,849
Should I stay with Arturo?
1223
01:17:28,810 --> 01:17:31,647
Here, the cards
are telling you to be alone for now.
1224
01:17:32,481 --> 01:17:37,610
To give yourself some space
and see which reality is best for you.
1225
01:17:37,611 --> 01:17:38,986
Here is Arturo.
1226
01:17:38,987 --> 01:17:42,282
And here is the woman,
the battle you are going to face.
1227
01:17:42,991 --> 01:17:45,577
Here, it shows loneliness,
but a lot of strength.
1228
01:17:46,078 --> 01:17:49,914
It is telling you an overwhelming victory
awaits you across the board,
1229
01:17:49,915 --> 01:17:51,375
with any man you want.
1230
01:18:02,594 --> 01:18:04,888
What did I do wrong to be here?
1231
01:18:05,889 --> 01:18:07,432
Breaking the law.
1232
01:18:08,433 --> 01:18:09,810
Lying.
1233
01:18:11,645 --> 01:18:12,729
Deceiving.
1234
01:18:14,272 --> 01:18:15,565
Causing pain.
1235
01:18:16,733 --> 01:18:19,611
I was afraid and scared that
1236
01:18:20,404 --> 01:18:23,155
that he would leave me
for failing to become a mother
1237
01:18:23,156 --> 01:18:25,783
and that I'd be targeted and judged.
1238
01:18:25,784 --> 01:18:28,495
Actually, I was judged
for something much worse in the end.
1239
01:18:52,936 --> 01:18:54,938
- My love!
- Here's the ham.
1240
01:18:57,899 --> 01:18:59,443
How are you? Hm?
1241
01:19:04,948 --> 01:19:07,241
Soon you'll have
your dear wife back, my love.
1242
01:19:07,242 --> 01:19:08,285
Mmm.
1243
01:19:09,411 --> 01:19:10,954
What do you mean, "Mmm"?
1244
01:19:11,455 --> 01:19:14,416
You look so happy.
Why are you trying to hide it.
1245
01:19:16,877 --> 01:19:19,671
- I was saying--
- Everyone is making fun of me.
1246
01:19:20,964 --> 01:19:23,758
They're saying,
"Your bachelor days are over."
1247
01:19:23,759 --> 01:19:27,554
- Who's saying that?
- Everyone who, who goes to the store.
1248
01:19:29,556 --> 01:19:32,600
They're making fun of you
because the witch is coming back.
1249
01:19:32,601 --> 01:19:35,186
Yeah, they're like,
"You're gonna be whipped."
1250
01:19:35,187 --> 01:19:38,355
- "You won't be able to come here anymore."
- That's what they're saying?
1251
01:19:38,356 --> 01:19:39,316
Yeah.
1252
01:19:40,567 --> 01:19:43,068
No, but I do think
things are gonna change, right?
1253
01:19:43,069 --> 01:19:45,988
Yeah. One more weekend,
and then it's over.
1254
01:19:45,989 --> 01:19:47,740
After this weekend.
1255
01:19:47,741 --> 01:19:48,950
Wednesday, right?
1256
01:19:51,244 --> 01:19:54,831
I'm like, "Enough already.
Please, I'm done."
1257
01:19:56,166 --> 01:19:57,542
I'm very nervous.
1258
01:19:58,460 --> 01:20:01,129
Yes, the final stretch
is the hardest, right?
1259
01:20:07,302 --> 01:20:11,555
So, what,
everything's already finalized, right?
1260
01:20:11,556 --> 01:20:13,349
- No, honey, not really.
- What's up?
1261
01:20:13,350 --> 01:20:16,560
- I'm more nervous than before.
- What time are they letting you out?
1262
01:20:16,561 --> 01:20:18,522
I think around two.
1263
01:20:20,106 --> 01:20:22,024
- I love you.
- You do?
1264
01:20:22,025 --> 01:20:23,026
I love you.
1265
01:20:24,653 --> 01:20:27,197
Oh, Ale, I’m going to miss you.
1266
01:20:28,698 --> 01:20:30,033
Done. Other hand.
1267
01:20:34,663 --> 01:20:37,206
So, are you guys gonna go to the beach?
1268
01:20:37,207 --> 01:20:39,251
Oh, Ale, this is so exciting.
1269
01:20:41,336 --> 01:20:44,338
- I want the river and the ocean.
- Oh yeah, you told me.
1270
01:20:44,339 --> 01:20:46,966
You can swim more easily in the river.
1271
01:20:46,967 --> 01:20:49,552
It's just harder in the ocean.
1272
01:20:49,553 --> 01:20:52,347
But I do want to go for a swim
in the ocean.
1273
01:20:58,562 --> 01:21:00,729
- For you, my Carla.
- Thank you, sweetie.
1274
01:21:00,730 --> 01:21:02,399
- Wow, Carla.
- Thank you.
1275
01:21:03,441 --> 01:21:05,192
Someone can have these.
1276
01:21:05,193 --> 01:21:07,319
Oh, honey, your treasures.
1277
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,532
My treasures.
You know they're my treasures.
1278
01:21:12,576 --> 01:21:14,995
Does anyone want a picture of my Arturo?
1279
01:21:17,330 --> 01:21:19,665
We can just drag this around. Look.
1280
01:21:19,666 --> 01:21:20,958
Jesus Christ.
1281
01:21:20,959 --> 01:21:23,586
And obviously,
you can take these two, honey.
1282
01:21:23,587 --> 01:21:24,712
Yes.
1283
01:21:24,713 --> 01:21:27,548
- I can’t leave you clothes, but, um…
- No, honey, I know.
1284
01:21:27,549 --> 01:21:30,634
This is enough. You’re leaving me
the most important thing.
1285
01:21:30,635 --> 01:21:33,012
We’ll all gonna be fine, you’ll see.
1286
01:21:33,013 --> 01:21:34,430
You'll see.
1287
01:21:34,431 --> 01:21:37,349
- You're the one forging this path.
- Yes.
1288
01:21:37,350 --> 01:21:40,227
None of us have left yet,
but you're going to be first.
1289
01:21:40,228 --> 01:21:42,062
- Yes.
- And you'll see.
1290
01:21:42,063 --> 01:21:45,482
- We'll start leaving one after another.
- I'm opening the door for us.
1291
01:21:45,483 --> 01:21:48,360
- Yes, you are.
- I’m taking you all with me.
1292
01:21:48,361 --> 01:21:49,362
Yes.
1293
01:21:50,530 --> 01:21:52,782
Don’t stop calling me
or picking up the phone.
1294
01:21:54,159 --> 01:21:56,786
I love you. I love you all so much.
1295
01:21:57,370 --> 01:22:00,832
- I love you. I love you so much.
- I love you too, Carla.
1296
01:22:12,135 --> 01:22:14,512
During these 13 years in prison,
1297
01:22:15,513 --> 01:22:19,100
I have focused on accepting
not being a mom.
1298
01:22:19,601 --> 01:22:23,687
Before, I think my desire to be a mom
1299
01:22:23,688 --> 01:22:26,816
was more about pleasing others.
1300
01:22:28,735 --> 01:22:33,073
But what else is out there
beyond being a mom?
1301
01:22:34,366 --> 01:22:38,620
And finally understood
that there is so much to live for.
1302
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:48,088
You breathe just like that,
just like drinking water.
1303
01:22:49,005 --> 01:22:51,757
- She's so nervous.
- Wait one moment.
1304
01:22:51,758 --> 01:22:53,592
I love you all so much.
1305
01:22:53,593 --> 01:22:55,761
A cheers for Ale.
1306
01:22:55,762 --> 01:22:57,554
Hey!
1307
01:22:57,555 --> 01:23:00,599
One, two, three, Ale!
1308
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:02,685
- Thank you, loves.
- Love you.
1309
01:23:02,686 --> 01:23:04,603
Thank you for everything.
1310
01:23:04,604 --> 01:23:07,899
- I don't want to leave you guys.
- I'm really going to miss you.
1311
01:23:08,525 --> 01:23:12,236
- I love you very much.
- Stay strong. Stay strong.
1312
01:23:12,237 --> 01:23:13,488
Strong.
1313
01:23:13,989 --> 01:23:15,240
I love you very much.
1314
01:23:17,784 --> 01:23:19,118
I love you all.
1315
01:23:19,119 --> 01:23:21,578
I'll never forget you, Ale.
I love you, girl.
1316
01:23:21,579 --> 01:23:22,580
Bye.
1317
01:23:25,542 --> 01:23:26,584
Bye, Ale.
1318
01:23:32,215 --> 01:23:33,425
Oh, there she is!
1319
01:23:40,807 --> 01:23:43,351
Oh, honey, come here.
1320
01:23:45,562 --> 01:23:46,771
We’re here.
1321
01:23:48,064 --> 01:23:49,231
We’re together again.
1322
01:23:49,232 --> 01:23:51,984
- It’s over.
- It’s over, my child.
1323
01:23:51,985 --> 01:23:53,194
It's over.
1324
01:23:54,279 --> 01:23:59,284
Alejandra is leaving prison
at 39 years old. She went in at 26.
1325
01:24:00,076 --> 01:24:01,785
My love, I love you.
1326
01:24:01,786 --> 01:24:03,079
Bravo, Arturo!
1327
01:24:07,459 --> 01:24:09,668
Of all the years we've been married,
1328
01:24:09,669 --> 01:24:11,963
I've lived alone longer than with her.
1329
01:24:15,383 --> 01:24:16,885
And she's not crying, right?
1330
01:24:18,636 --> 01:24:21,388
I’m happy with what I have
1331
01:24:21,389 --> 01:24:24,017
and what we can start over with.
1332
01:24:25,477 --> 01:24:28,353
Obviously, you always have
that nagging feeling
1333
01:24:28,354 --> 01:24:31,148
about having your own kids,
1334
01:24:31,149 --> 01:24:34,735
and if the opportunity arises to, well,
1335
01:24:34,736 --> 01:24:37,112
do IVF and get a surrogate,
1336
01:24:37,113 --> 01:24:38,989
yeah, maybe we will.
1337
01:24:38,990 --> 01:24:42,451
With a child, your last name,
and lineage, continues
1338
01:24:42,452 --> 01:24:44,579
and whatever you want them to carry on.
1339
01:24:45,872 --> 01:24:49,584
I would indeed like to have,
well, a child.
1340
01:24:51,294 --> 01:24:54,797
Not as much as before, but I still have
that desire engrained in me,
1341
01:24:54,798 --> 01:24:56,966
and I don't think it will ever go away.
1342
01:25:28,498 --> 01:25:30,749
What do you think ours will be like?
1343
01:25:30,750 --> 01:25:33,128
As long as he doesn't turn out
like that one.
1344
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:39,801
Is he moving?
1345
01:25:41,886 --> 01:25:43,513
Yeah, our baby just moved.
1346
01:25:44,514 --> 01:25:46,431
What's up, baby?
1347
01:25:46,432 --> 01:25:47,934
My baby son.
1348
01:25:53,857 --> 01:25:55,066
Cut!
1349
01:25:58,111 --> 01:25:59,487
What did you think?
1350
01:26:01,114 --> 01:26:02,365
It's…
1351
01:26:05,326 --> 01:26:06,786
What about you?
1352
01:26:08,246 --> 01:26:09,497
Good, good.
1353
01:26:10,415 --> 01:26:11,583
Let's go.
1354
01:26:16,171 --> 01:26:17,462
Hey.
1355
01:26:17,463 --> 01:26:21,509
Being a spectator
to my own story was very impactful.
1356
01:26:22,051 --> 01:26:26,013
In real life, I would've loved
to have been able to say,
1357
01:26:26,014 --> 01:26:28,349
"Take 1" or "Take 2,"
1358
01:26:29,142 --> 01:26:31,101
and be able to repeat scenes.
1359
01:26:31,102 --> 01:26:33,188
I totally understand you, Ale.
1360
01:26:33,855 --> 01:26:37,566
And if we could write something
and think up some takes
1361
01:26:37,567 --> 01:26:40,944
or come up with a different ending
for this movie, what would you say?
1362
01:26:40,945 --> 01:26:43,238
If I could write the ending of this movie,
1363
01:26:43,239 --> 01:26:45,617
I think I would go
in a different direction.
1364
01:26:46,534 --> 01:26:48,036
I would keep growing.
1365
01:26:48,536 --> 01:26:50,496
And be able to enjoy myself.
1366
01:26:51,497 --> 01:26:54,751
And I would go…
I would go on a trip, I think.
1367
01:26:56,419 --> 01:27:01,424
To a beach
where I would be very happy and fulfilled.
1368
01:27:21,945 --> 01:27:25,113
Ale, I would've loved
your ending at the beach.
1369
01:27:25,114 --> 01:27:27,033
That would be a happy ending for me.
1370
01:27:27,533 --> 01:27:29,952
It's been two years
since you came out of prison,
1371
01:27:29,953 --> 01:27:32,496
and a lot has happened since you got out.
1372
01:27:32,497 --> 01:27:34,666
How would you finish the documentary?
1373
01:27:37,502 --> 01:27:39,629
What ending would I show?
1374
01:27:44,717 --> 01:27:45,927
Oh, my.
1375
01:27:46,761 --> 01:27:50,139
Life changes in the blink of an eye.
1376
01:27:54,936 --> 01:27:56,896
When I got out of prison
1377
01:27:57,397 --> 01:28:01,775
Arturo told me again
that he still wanted to be a father.
1378
01:28:01,776 --> 01:28:03,819
And I told him that that was valid
1379
01:28:03,820 --> 01:28:07,239
and that he should go
and find his happiness.
1380
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,200
That I definitely wasn't going
to undergo any treatment,
1381
01:28:10,201 --> 01:28:12,953
and that he wasn't going
to be a father with me.
1382
01:28:12,954 --> 01:28:15,914
We were separated for a while,
gave each other some space,
1383
01:28:15,915 --> 01:28:19,418
and he had another relationship,
a short affair
1384
01:28:19,419 --> 01:28:22,505
that resulted in his son being born.
1385
01:28:24,757 --> 01:28:26,675
Then, Arturo came looking for me.
1386
01:28:26,676 --> 01:28:29,428
We talked, and he told me
everything that had happened.
1387
01:28:29,429 --> 01:28:34,057
He told me that, well that
he missed me a lot, that he loved me,
1388
01:28:34,058 --> 01:28:36,853
and that he wanted me to be in his life.
1389
01:28:37,645 --> 01:28:39,730
That we should try again,
1390
01:28:39,731 --> 01:28:42,025
and I decided to give it a try.
1391
01:28:44,485 --> 01:28:47,279
It makes me very happy to see him smile
1392
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,866
and to see him fulfilled as a father.
1393
01:28:51,242 --> 01:28:53,535
It makes me even happier
1394
01:28:53,536 --> 01:28:56,372
that he sees me in his life as,
1395
01:28:57,206 --> 01:28:59,666
as a mother or parent to his son.
1396
01:28:59,667 --> 01:29:02,919
Oh my goodness! Look at you!
1397
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,423
Look how cute! Come here!
1398
01:29:05,965 --> 01:29:07,758
Run! Run! Run!
1399
01:29:07,759 --> 01:29:09,844
Come get me! Ah! Ah!
1400
01:29:13,264 --> 01:29:14,307
Come here!
1401
01:29:14,932 --> 01:29:16,600
Ah! There he is!
1402
01:29:16,601 --> 01:29:18,227
I see you!
1403
01:29:22,190 --> 01:29:23,857
You can do it! You can do it!
1404
01:29:23,858 --> 01:29:25,692
Come on, my love, you can do it!
1405
01:29:25,693 --> 01:29:27,195
That's it! That's it!
1406
01:29:30,490 --> 01:29:32,366
Whoo!
1407
01:29:32,367 --> 01:29:34,285
Let's go eat. Shall we?
1408
01:29:36,579 --> 01:29:37,789
Do you want pizza?
