A GATO GRANDE PRODUCTION
5
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,368
{\an8}I always dreamed of being a mom.
6
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:40,539
{\an8}I got married, full of hope.
I was 17 and pregnant.
7
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:43,209
{\an8}That's part of the reason
we got married, but also…
8
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,171
{\an8}I loved Arturo.
9
00:00:48,339 --> 00:00:50,383
I've always liked children.
10
00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:54,595
I always have fun with them.
11
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:55,971
And children,
12
00:00:55,972 --> 00:00:59,808
for example, all my relatives' children,
13
00:00:59,809 --> 00:01:03,937
they've always been close to me.
14
00:01:03,938 --> 00:01:05,731
I have a large family.
15
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:08,442
In my family… everyone has kids.
16
00:01:08,443 --> 00:01:10,695
All my cousins are moms.
17
00:01:11,196 --> 00:01:12,738
So…
18
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:16,158
I liked hearing,
"She's going to be a mom!"
19
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:17,076
And…
20
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:21,789
It was like fulfilling my dream
of having a family.
21
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:24,792
Since the day I got pregnant
and we got married,
22
00:01:24,793 --> 00:01:26,835
that was always our plan.
23
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:28,504
I always saw myself as a mom.
24
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:29,588
Cut!
25
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:30,672
Great. I love it!
26
00:01:30,673 --> 00:01:33,425
Can we try a version
that flows a little more?
27
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:36,053
Your lines are part of an interview
that we want to imitate,
28
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:38,597
and the character you'd play
29
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:41,475
is Ale, from 15 years ago.
30
00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:43,143
It's like a flashback
31
00:01:43,144 --> 00:01:46,231
done by an actress
about the real Ale. Yeah?
32
00:01:48,566 --> 00:01:51,193
A MAITE ALBERDI DOCUMENTARY
33
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:53,655
- Casting. F1. Take 1.
- Action.
34
00:01:56,241 --> 00:01:58,076
It was such a strong desire…
35
00:02:00,245 --> 00:02:04,874
that… I was drawn into problems
that got bigger and bigger.
36
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,752
And I started making,
37
00:02:08,837 --> 00:02:14,843
you know, decisions and taking actions
which got more complicated.
38
00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:18,513
Until there was no way out,
39
00:02:19,597 --> 00:02:21,891
no turning back.
40
00:02:25,061 --> 00:02:30,817
A CHILD OF MY OWN
41
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:33,528
Very nice.
42
00:02:35,446 --> 00:02:36,780
That's it.
43
00:02:36,781 --> 00:02:37,907
One more.
44
00:02:40,076 --> 00:02:42,370
That's it. Get closer, please.
45
00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:46,040
That's it. Very nice. Look at the camera.
46
00:02:47,125 --> 00:02:49,209
Perfect. Smile.
47
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:51,713
Let's see your joy for Ale and Arturo.
48
00:02:55,216 --> 00:02:57,217
ALEJANDRA AND ARTURO
49
00:02:57,218 --> 00:02:58,302
Bravo!
50
00:02:58,303 --> 00:02:59,220
OUR WEDDING
51
00:03:05,226 --> 00:03:06,477
Bravo!
52
00:03:12,483 --> 00:03:13,776
That's it, brother!
53
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:22,285
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
54
00:03:23,494 --> 00:03:25,078
When I got married,
55
00:03:25,079 --> 00:03:29,291
I felt pressured to please his family.
56
00:03:29,292 --> 00:03:32,753
I always felt loved and valued
by my family.
57
00:03:32,754 --> 00:03:35,130
When I met his family,
58
00:03:35,131 --> 00:03:39,009
I didn't feel accepted by his mom,
59
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:43,138
and that made me feel like I had to do
everything I could to win her over.
60
00:03:43,139 --> 00:03:46,683
Hurrah for the bride and groom!
61
00:03:46,684 --> 00:03:50,313
For the bride and the groom!
Rah, rah, rah!
62
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:13,627
I lost the baby while we were living
with my mother-in-law.
63
00:04:13,628 --> 00:04:15,337
I didn't want to see anyone.
64
00:04:15,338 --> 00:04:17,339
But they came up to my room,
65
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:20,300
and one of Arturo's aunts said,
"Why are you crying?"
66
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:23,262
"Hey, don't cry. We all go through this."
67
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:24,346
Yes, it's sad.
68
00:04:24,347 --> 00:04:26,682
His mom said,
"You should have been more careful."
69
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:28,101
"You can't behave like that."
70
00:04:28,851 --> 00:04:30,519
How are you feeling, Ale?
71
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,523
I had to lie there, listening to them
72
00:04:34,023 --> 00:04:35,858
until, finally, my mom arrived.
73
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:38,069
I'm here, sweetie.
74
00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:43,950
Why did I lose the baby?
75
00:04:46,202 --> 00:04:47,536
I'm to blame.
76
00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:48,787
I'm to blame.
77
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:50,247
I wasn't careful.
78
00:04:50,248 --> 00:04:51,290
I ran.
79
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:52,582
I went to work.
80
00:04:52,583 --> 00:04:54,293
I blamed myself for everything.
81
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,254
It's not your fault. It's okay.
82
00:04:57,714 --> 00:04:58,881
Rest.
83
00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:10,100
We have more than enough space
for parties.
84
00:05:10,101 --> 00:05:11,435
Cheers!
85
00:05:11,436 --> 00:05:14,479
- The house is really big.
- Very spacious.
86
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,064
Super big.
87
00:05:16,065 --> 00:05:18,150
Did you see the kitchen?
88
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:20,528
The food is delicious!
89
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:23,238
The house is very nice,
90
00:05:23,239 --> 00:05:24,741
but it's too big.
91
00:05:25,533 --> 00:05:27,951
- Besides, they don't even have children.
- Mom.
92
00:05:27,952 --> 00:05:30,455
- Or are you going to fill it with dogs?
- Mom, enough!
93
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:33,457
You should at least fill one more room.
94
00:05:33,458 --> 00:05:35,000
You too, Uncle?
95
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:39,254
All we want is for you
to be happy with a baby, right?
96
00:05:39,255 --> 00:05:40,589
Kids running around.
97
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:43,008
I'd like to meet a great-grandchild.
98
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:46,094
I know, Grandma, but I'm only 25…
99
00:05:46,095 --> 00:05:48,514
The sooner the better.
100
00:05:49,098 --> 00:05:51,684
Or they'll look
like your grandkids instead of your kids.
101
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,061
Why not adopt?
102
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:56,688
It's not the same.
103
00:05:56,689 --> 00:05:59,149
We're going to have
our own children, okay?
104
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:02,903
It's just that Ale has been busy.
Work at the hospital is demanding.
105
00:06:02,904 --> 00:06:05,614
- But soon.
- Priorities.
106
00:06:05,615 --> 00:06:07,200
It'll take time.
107
00:06:08,242 --> 00:06:09,826
- Another one?
- No, thanks.
108
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:12,080
- Bring me two, please?
- Yes.
109
00:06:18,961 --> 00:06:20,962
What happened
after that first miscarriage?
110
00:06:20,963 --> 00:06:24,925
Soon after, I was pregnant again.
111
00:06:24,926 --> 00:06:26,343
Arturo would tell me,
112
00:06:26,344 --> 00:06:29,721
"You have to be careful.
Don't do this, don't do that."
113
00:06:29,722 --> 00:06:32,432
Since her first pregnancy,
I told her to take care of herself,
114
00:06:32,433 --> 00:06:34,810
to take it easy, to rest.
115
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:38,480
I work all day,
I can't be checking on her all day.
116
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:41,441
I even said,
"If not for you, do it for the baby,"
117
00:06:41,442 --> 00:06:42,985
but she's stubborn.
118
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:44,612
It's true.
119
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:48,824
So I lost the baby again.
120
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:51,369
That was my second miscarriage.
121
00:06:52,453 --> 00:06:55,580
After a few years we started to worry.
122
00:06:55,581 --> 00:06:57,250
I didn't get pregnant.
123
00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:02,546
This is really hard for me.
All I want is to have a child and I can't.
124
00:07:02,547 --> 00:07:03,922
What could be wrong?
125
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:06,633
She got pregnant before.
Why doesn't it happen again?
126
00:07:06,634 --> 00:07:09,469
We're not using
any contraceptives, right?
127
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:13,724
I don't know. It's like her body
can't keep it inside... I don't know.
128
00:07:14,767 --> 00:07:15,685
I don't know.
129
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:18,186
Don't worry.
130
00:07:18,187 --> 00:07:21,731
We're going to examine the state
of your uterus after the D&C you had.
131
00:07:21,732 --> 00:07:24,026
And also analyze your husband's semen.
132
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:28,238
We could try
a stimulated intrauterine insemination
133
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:30,031
to help you get pregnant.
134
00:07:30,032 --> 00:07:31,616
Will that prevent a miscarriage?
135
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:35,079
No treatment is 100% guaranteed,
136
00:07:35,997 --> 00:07:38,165
but nature is wise.
137
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:41,252
It won't allow an unhealthy baby
to come full term.
138
00:07:41,878 --> 00:07:44,922
You're very young. There's still time.
139
00:07:48,843 --> 00:07:50,678
Almost done.
140
00:07:52,597 --> 00:07:54,140
You'll be okay.
141
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:56,058
Thanks.
142
00:08:11,282 --> 00:08:14,117
When I finally got pregnant
for the third time,
143
00:08:14,118 --> 00:08:15,619
Arturo told me,
144
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:20,332
"This time you have to take it easy.
You have to do this. You have to do that."
145
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:22,209
"You need to stay home."
146
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:24,586
"In fact, you should stop working."
147
00:08:24,587 --> 00:08:29,424
I was like, "You're kidding, right?
I'm not going to stop working."
148
00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:31,676
And he'd say, "You're so stubborn."
149
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,553
Hi, Ale.
150
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:35,138
- Hi, Doctor.
- How are you?
151
00:08:35,139 --> 00:08:37,599
Very well. No more nausea.
152
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,101
Is everything set up?
153
00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:41,896
Hi. Good morning. Come in.
154
00:08:43,981 --> 00:08:46,442
- Thank you. Don't forget the coffee.
- Coming.
155
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,344
I went to my boss.
156
00:09:14,345 --> 00:09:17,013
I was in tears. I said, "I feel sick."
157
00:09:17,014 --> 00:09:20,601
I'm sorry, Ale.
There was a lot of bleeding…
158
00:09:21,143 --> 00:09:22,478
You've lost the baby.
159
00:09:23,521 --> 00:09:25,064
Not again…
160
00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:27,316
I'm sorry.
161
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:31,278
What will I tell Arturo?
162
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:32,655
Stay calm.
163
00:09:33,155 --> 00:09:34,657
Relax.
164
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:39,077
Talk to your husband. Look at options.
165
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:42,373
It's going to be very difficult
to have a full-term pregnancy.
166
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:46,544
I'll let you get dressed.
167
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:20,910
I sat in the waiting room
168
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:23,413
with mixed feelings.
169
00:10:23,414 --> 00:10:25,791
Obviously, I blamed myself.
170
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:32,339
I've been here for hours.
Can someone please help me?
171
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:35,842
- You have to wait for your turn.
- I just need to make an appointment.
172
00:10:35,843 --> 00:10:37,719
I questioned God.
173
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,014
I thought, "Why?
Why is this happening? Why?"
174
00:10:41,015 --> 00:10:43,934
That's when I met Mayra.
175
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:51,317
What's wrong?
176
00:10:55,529 --> 00:10:57,365
I want to be a mom, but I can't.
177
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:01,994
I'm going to be a mom,
and I don't want to.
178
00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:05,164
Say that again?
179
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,540
I've just found out.
180
00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:08,750
Mayra tells me…
181
00:11:08,751 --> 00:11:10,043
I don't want it.
182
00:11:10,044 --> 00:11:11,462
…she wanted an abortion.
183
00:11:12,713 --> 00:11:14,714
The father won't assume
any responsibility.
184
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:16,216
He says the baby isn't his.
185
00:11:16,217 --> 00:11:19,261
And I… can't have another baby.
186
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,642
You can do it on your own.
187
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:28,645
No, I can't. I don't study or work.
188
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:30,731
I just help my mom with chores.
189
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:33,192
You can find a job.
190
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,318
Sell something, I don't know.
191
00:11:35,319 --> 00:11:37,446
No, no, no. I don't like working.
192
00:11:38,072 --> 00:11:40,324
I do sometimes sell things.
193
00:11:41,242 --> 00:11:43,786
No. I can't have another baby.
194
00:11:44,745 --> 00:11:46,579
I already have a girl.
195
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:50,834
If I come home with another baby,
my mom will kick me out.
196
00:11:50,835 --> 00:11:52,627
She won't kick you out.
197
00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:54,463
I don't know what to do.
198
00:11:59,176 --> 00:12:00,177
I don't know.
199
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:03,764
I'd rather give it away
than throw it away.
200
00:12:04,807 --> 00:12:05,725
I don't know.
201
00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:10,353
She says, "I'd rather give it away
than throw it away."
202
00:12:10,354 --> 00:12:11,272
Say again?
203
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:17,111
I'd rather give it away.
204
00:12:24,493 --> 00:12:25,745
Are you serious?
205
00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:29,707
I am.
206
00:12:32,209 --> 00:12:36,671
At that moment, you think it's God's work,
207
00:12:36,672 --> 00:12:38,757
fate, the universe…
208
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:41,176
If you're sure, I'll take your baby.
209
00:12:41,177 --> 00:12:45,513
…that puts people in your way,
and maybe God wants you to take charge.
210
00:12:45,514 --> 00:12:46,556
Yes.
211
00:12:46,557 --> 00:12:49,477
Your baby will always have
everything he needs.
212
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:52,688
I promise.
213
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,733
I'm Mayra.
214
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:01,113
Nice to meet you. I'm Ale.
215
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:04,950
Look.
216
00:13:06,994 --> 00:13:08,661
{\an8}I work in OB-GYN.
217
00:13:08,662 --> 00:13:10,122
I noticed.
218
00:13:12,124 --> 00:13:15,835
If you want, we can start your paperwork
so you can be seen here.
219
00:13:15,836 --> 00:13:16,920
Okay.
220
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:18,713
PERSONAL INFORMATION
221
00:13:18,714 --> 00:13:22,967
Part of me worried she would try
to blackmail me or something.
222
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:25,345
The less she knew about me, the better.
223
00:13:25,346 --> 00:13:29,599
So, I told her, "We'll meet here.
I work in this department."
224
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,269
"I'll be here for you, whatever you need."
225
00:13:33,270 --> 00:13:35,855
With this, you can come here
for all your visits.
226
00:13:35,856 --> 00:13:39,026
I already scheduled your ultrasound.
227
00:13:39,527 --> 00:13:41,779
- See you on April 20th.
- Yes.
228
00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:44,156
- At eight o'clock.
- Mm-hmm.
229
00:14:02,299 --> 00:14:05,219
When I got home, I decided
230
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:07,680
I wouldn't tell anyone.
231
00:14:09,723 --> 00:14:11,809
Especially not Arturo.
232
00:14:13,102 --> 00:14:17,272
Why? Because I didn't want any complaints.
233
00:14:17,273 --> 00:14:19,941
I didn't want to hear, "I told you so."
234
00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:23,028
"It's your fault, you just don't get it."
235
00:14:35,624 --> 00:14:37,543
119 POUNDS
236
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:43,339
4 MONTHS PREGNANT: YOUR BODY TRANSFORMS
237
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:44,884
PHYSICAL AND HORMONAL CHANGES
238
00:14:52,182 --> 00:14:54,058
THE POWER OF PREGNANCY
239
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:58,230
FOODS THAT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN
240
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:12,952
- You are spoiled.
- So?
241
00:15:12,953 --> 00:15:16,331
- "So"? What were you up to?
- I was at school.
242
00:15:16,332 --> 00:15:18,833
- Sure.
- If he says so…
243
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:20,085
See?
244
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:23,129
This pozole looks delicious.
245
00:15:23,130 --> 00:15:25,214
Hey, bug, I want the same.
246
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:28,635
This is a diet for pregnancy.
Doctor's orders.
247
00:15:28,636 --> 00:15:31,137
Introduce me to your doctor.
248
00:15:31,138 --> 00:15:34,058
Hey, respect! See, Mom?
249
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:37,393
- How have you felt, Ale?
- Okay.
250
00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:40,855
It doesn't show in your eyes.
She doesn't have droopy eyelids.
251
00:15:40,856 --> 00:15:42,065
Stop it, Mom.
252
00:15:42,066 --> 00:15:44,150
- Old wives' tales…
- Right.
253
00:15:44,151 --> 00:15:46,611
- Easy you too.
- Hey, sweetie.
254
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:49,322
I bought your ground meat,
255
00:15:49,323 --> 00:15:52,367
your favorite stuffed peppers and eggs.
256
00:15:52,368 --> 00:15:55,536
- And you say I don't pamper him.
- Oh, you dog.
257
00:15:55,537 --> 00:15:58,831
I'm ironing and everything…
All while pregnant!
258
00:15:58,832 --> 00:16:02,251
Being pregnant doesn't mean you're sick.
You can do anything.
259
00:16:02,252 --> 00:16:04,004
No, Mom. That's not true.
260
00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:07,423
She already had two miscarriages.
She needs to be careful.
261
00:16:07,424 --> 00:16:09,969
Well, I'm from a different generation.
262
00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:12,721
What's wrong? Are you okay?
263
00:16:14,515 --> 00:16:17,225
She's suffering from a lot of nausea,
from the pregnancy.
264
00:16:17,226 --> 00:16:18,559
She'll be right back.
265
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,186
- Is it good, Mom?
- Mm-hmm…
266
00:16:20,187 --> 00:16:21,313
Oh, come on!
267
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:30,572
As far as I was concerned,
it was going as planned.
268
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:32,949
Arturo believed me.
269
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:36,370
He thought I was actually pregnant.
270
00:16:38,956 --> 00:16:41,541
- How far along are you?
- Five months.
271
00:16:41,542 --> 00:16:44,419
Ale, why did you switch departments?
272
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:47,131
I mean, Urology is far more demanding.
273
00:16:47,715 --> 00:16:51,342
Besides, all pregnant women are seen
in Gynecology by Dr. Guerrero.
274
00:16:51,343 --> 00:16:55,054
- It's easier if you work there.
- No. I felt I needed the change.
275
00:16:55,055 --> 00:16:57,015
Gynecology is more demanding.
276
00:16:57,016 --> 00:17:01,019
But, at five months,
you should have stayed there
277
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,981
writing reports, taking it easy.
278
00:17:04,606 --> 00:17:08,443
No, there's no regular schedule
from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
279
00:17:08,444 --> 00:17:10,404
You get a lot of overtime.
280
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:13,906
By the time I got home,
I was very stressed out.
281
00:17:13,907 --> 00:17:15,700
And then Arturo would say,
282
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,661
"Alejandra, you're never home."
283
00:17:18,662 --> 00:17:20,747
"We can't go on like this."
284
00:17:20,748 --> 00:17:23,541
Well, a man does need his wife.
285
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:24,542
Right.
286
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:29,797
Well, for a lot less than that
my sister's husband left her overnight.
287
00:17:29,798 --> 00:17:31,632
Oh, no. God forbid!
288
00:17:31,633 --> 00:17:32,717
No.
289
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:35,054
Imagine if he were to leave me!
290
00:17:36,513 --> 00:17:37,805
No.
291
00:17:37,806 --> 00:17:40,266
No, that's why I'm taking care of myself.
292
00:17:40,267 --> 00:17:42,478
Happy, the three of us.
293
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,482
I wish the best for you three.
294
00:17:47,483 --> 00:17:49,401
- Do you want some water?
- Yes, please.
295
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:53,572
143 POUNDS
296
00:17:56,366 --> 00:17:59,535
THE POWER OF PREGNANCY
297
00:17:59,536 --> 00:18:02,915
When I started gaining weight,
everything started to change.
298
00:18:03,957 --> 00:18:08,337
Everything. My body…
I started buying maternity clothes.
299
00:18:10,047 --> 00:18:12,340
My belly was…
300
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:15,093
It really looked as if I were pregnant.
301
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:18,971
So, when Arturo and I were intimate…
302
00:18:18,972 --> 00:18:22,433
I mean, I felt his hand,
and I had to react,
303
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:24,560
like tightening my stomach.
304
00:18:24,561 --> 00:18:27,814
- Hey, Arturo. Arturo, don't. Don't.
- Just a bit.
305
00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:29,565
- I said no. I can't.
- Just a bit…
306
00:18:29,566 --> 00:18:32,568
- The doctor said I can't right now.
- Why?
307
00:18:32,569 --> 00:18:34,278
- We have to be careful.
- Why?
308
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:36,990
Hey, listen. I said no.
309
00:18:37,491 --> 00:18:39,159
It's dangerous for the baby.
310
00:18:41,078 --> 00:18:43,038
We could cause a premature birth.
311
00:18:43,831 --> 00:18:46,583
What if we bump his little head,
and he comes out early?
312
00:18:47,835 --> 00:18:53,632
The doctor told me
that's called "complete placenta previa."
313
00:18:55,717 --> 00:18:57,885
Your belly is firm, but it looks small.
314
00:18:57,886 --> 00:19:00,973
Maybe we're having a small baby.
315
00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:05,351
When are you going back for a checkup?
316
00:19:05,352 --> 00:19:07,145
I don't know, Arturo.
317
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:10,106
Your mom wanted to see your ultrasound.
318
00:19:10,107 --> 00:19:12,359
They already did one,
and everything was fine.
319
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:14,026
And the others?
320
00:19:14,027 --> 00:19:17,155
When did you last go for an ultrasound?
321
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:20,366
About a month ago,
but I haven't gotten them yet.
322
00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:22,243
Look, Arturo,
323
00:19:22,244 --> 00:19:26,123
I do everything at the hospital,
but they never give me anything.
324
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,418
I wouldn't get as good a treatment
anywhere else.
325
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,127
Okay?
326
00:19:31,128 --> 00:19:32,546
Alright, fine.
327
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:38,385
If you're okay, I'm okay.
328
00:19:38,927 --> 00:19:41,596
I slept with him, we lived together.
329
00:19:41,597 --> 00:19:44,557
So if he said something,
I'd answer right away.
330
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:46,018
"You're bothering me."
331
00:19:46,518 --> 00:19:50,731
"You're hurting me.
Don't you see I'm in pain?"
332
00:19:51,773 --> 00:19:55,444
You know, I emotionally blackmailed him.
333
00:19:56,778 --> 00:19:58,405
- How are you?
- Hi.
334
00:20:04,453 --> 00:20:06,162
Did they do the ultrasound?
335
00:20:06,163 --> 00:20:09,666
Yes, but they kept me waiting for hours.
I'm starving.
336
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:11,960
Let's see.
337
00:20:15,172 --> 00:20:16,089
Here.
338
00:20:19,676 --> 00:20:21,762
I also brought your vitamins.
339
00:20:23,263 --> 00:20:24,681
You need to take them.
340
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:26,850
Any updates?
341
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:29,936
They think it's a girl.
342
00:20:29,937 --> 00:20:31,563
And that she's underweight.
343
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:36,568
You're gaining weight too.
344
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:39,195
You're not pregnant, are you?
345
00:20:39,196 --> 00:20:40,489
I wish!
346
00:20:41,698 --> 00:20:43,158
What do you mean, you wish?
347
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:51,333
- Do you know the due date?
- Mm-hmm.
348
00:20:53,126 --> 00:20:55,921
They think by the week of June 16th.
349
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,510
I have to go. I've been here all morning.
350
00:21:03,303 --> 00:21:04,221
Okay.
351
00:21:09,309 --> 00:21:11,603
You can count on me for whatever you need.
352
00:21:16,858 --> 00:21:19,486
- See you in two months.
- Yup.
353
00:21:19,987 --> 00:21:21,905
The week of June 16th.
354
00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:28,786
MAYRA AURORA NAVARRO VEGA
355
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:30,414
ULTRASOUND
356
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:48,098
Meet the new member of the family!
357
00:21:48,598 --> 00:21:50,141
What did you do to get it?
358
00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:53,603
See? Perks of working at the hospital.
359
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:56,814
You have no idea how hard it was.
360
00:21:56,815 --> 00:22:00,484
But I explained it was important to you.
So, there it is.
361
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:02,695
Hey, Arturito. Arturo it is!
362
00:22:02,696 --> 00:22:04,322
- Oh, come on!
- Why not?
363
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:06,449
They told me it might be a girl.
364
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:09,160
No! Your belly doesn't look
like you're carrying a girl.
365
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:10,871
That's what the doctors said.
366
00:22:11,788 --> 00:22:13,956
Don't worry, son. It's not a girl.
367
00:22:13,957 --> 00:22:15,876
Well, the doctors should know, right?
368
00:22:16,543 --> 00:22:20,296
- I mean, whatever God wants.
- Of course. Whatever God decides.
369
00:22:20,297 --> 00:22:21,506
Yes.
370
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,009
- Want anything to drink?
- Yes.
371
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:25,844
Tea, please.
372
00:22:27,804 --> 00:22:31,432
"They'll fill the house with dogs,
and I won't get any grandchildren."
373
00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:34,018
I'll fill the house with dogs
just so they bite you.
374
00:22:34,019 --> 00:22:36,188
Hey. Easy on my mom.
375
00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:41,484
She loves you. She worries about you.
She's happy you're pregnant.
376
00:22:41,485 --> 00:22:43,319
- It shows.
- It's true.
377
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,615
- Look at this. It's nice, isn't it?
- Yes, it is.
378
00:22:47,574 --> 00:22:51,870
Let's see. I think we need a larger one.
379
00:22:53,497 --> 00:22:54,414
Look!
380
00:22:55,332 --> 00:22:57,959
A friend got this one for her baby.
381
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:00,252
She's adopting.
382
00:23:00,253 --> 00:23:03,089
The mom didn't want him
and couldn't take care of him,
383
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:05,092
so she's keeping the baby.
384
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:09,804
- I'm talking to you!
- I'm listening.
385
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:11,555
You're not paying attention.
386
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:13,891
What do you want me to say? "Great"?
387
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:16,769
Your friend is invested,
even though the baby's not hers.
388
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:19,772
If she raises him, he's her son.
389
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:22,608
Ale, blood is different.
390
00:23:22,609 --> 00:23:24,319
I could never adopt.
391
00:23:24,861 --> 00:23:26,988
- Why not?
- Because.
392
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:30,116
It's not the same.
I wouldn't want to hurt a child.
393
00:23:30,117 --> 00:23:32,661
What if I couldn't love him?
394
00:23:33,703 --> 00:23:34,871
Oh, please!
395
00:23:35,831 --> 00:23:36,873
Ale.
396
00:23:38,875 --> 00:23:41,211
- Hey, don't get angry.
- It's just…
397
00:23:41,711 --> 00:23:42,962
Think about the baby.
398
00:23:42,963 --> 00:23:45,714
If it's a boy, he will look like you.
399
00:23:45,715 --> 00:23:47,926
If it's a girl, she will look like me.
400
00:23:48,844 --> 00:23:51,053
As long as she doesn't look like your mom…
401
00:23:51,054 --> 00:23:52,764
You're bad!
402
00:23:54,516 --> 00:23:55,684
176 POUNDS
403
00:24:02,482 --> 00:24:04,359
I felt so special.
404
00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:08,112
From the moment
that the people close to you
405
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:11,490
start treating you
so lovingly, expectantly,
406
00:24:11,491 --> 00:24:13,784
with that… joy, that excitement.
407
00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:19,415
The way they come up and touch your belly
and treat you so sweetly.
408
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:22,001
- The gelatin turned out amazing.
- Thank you.
409
00:24:22,002 --> 00:24:24,004
- I'm sure your mom helped.
- Yes!
410
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:27,507
That one's ready.
411
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,759
You look excited. Are you excited?
412
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:31,928
- We are.
- Yes.
413
00:24:32,554 --> 00:24:34,763
- The prettiest aunt of them all.
- Oh!
414
00:24:34,764 --> 00:24:37,141
Look at that. I'm here.
415
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:38,601
What would you name the baby?
416
00:24:38,602 --> 00:24:40,102
NAME OPTIONS
417
00:24:40,103 --> 00:24:42,271
If it's a girl, Alejandra.
418
00:24:42,272 --> 00:24:44,483
{\an8}- Okay.
- Thank you.
419
00:24:45,484 --> 00:24:48,235
{\an8}If it's a boy, I'd like Arturo.
420
00:24:48,236 --> 00:24:51,113
{\an8}- Arturo? We have two Arturos.
- Yes, their mom and dad's names.
421
00:24:51,114 --> 00:24:54,074
{\an8}- This is lovely.
- Yes.
422
00:24:54,075 --> 00:24:56,744
- Plenty of nice things.
- "Alejandra's baby shower."
423
00:24:56,745 --> 00:24:59,246
- The girls.
- Mom of the year.
424
00:24:59,247 --> 00:25:01,457
We love it.
425
00:25:01,458 --> 00:25:02,791
Let's hear it!
426
00:25:02,792 --> 00:25:09,757
You did it!
427
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:11,759
Smile, Ale!
428
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,138
Oh, it's okay. What are we missing?
Let's see. What else?
429
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:19,058
A cheer for the baby!
430
00:25:19,059 --> 00:25:22,978
Rah-rah-boom, let's go!
431
00:25:22,979 --> 00:25:26,607
Boom-bam-rah-rah, hooray!
432
00:25:26,608 --> 00:25:30,111
Ale! Ale! Rah, rah, rah!
433
00:25:31,154 --> 00:25:34,532
You're just one month away
from giving birth.
434
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:37,868
Is there anything
you'd like to say to your guests?
435
00:25:37,869 --> 00:25:41,038
- Come on!
- Ale! Ale!
436
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:43,123
- Don't be shy, Ale!
- Come on!
437
00:25:43,124 --> 00:25:47,169
I felt like I was living
in another dimension. I don't know.
438
00:25:47,170 --> 00:25:49,463
Well, um…
439
00:25:49,464 --> 00:25:53,260
First of all,
thanks to everyone for coming.
440
00:25:54,803 --> 00:25:56,096
And really,
441
00:25:57,013 --> 00:25:58,473
I'd like to say
442
00:26:00,517 --> 00:26:01,768
that I can't…
443
00:26:02,978 --> 00:26:04,479
be any more grateful
444
00:26:05,313 --> 00:26:07,356
for having you all here with me today.
445
00:26:07,357 --> 00:26:10,693
Many times I wanted to say
"This isn't real,"
446
00:26:10,694 --> 00:26:12,319
or "This isn't happening."
447
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,404
But I couldn't.
448
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:16,408
- Anyone else? The grandmas?
- Me. I want to say something.
449
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:19,160
I'd like to…
450
00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:22,121
thank you all
451
00:26:22,122 --> 00:26:24,999
for being here with Ale and me.
452
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,296
This baby has been long-awaited
by this family.
453
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:33,550
I hope that everything
turns out well, honey.
454
00:26:34,217 --> 00:26:35,885
It will be a beautiful baby.
455
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:37,511
Hmm?
456
00:26:37,512 --> 00:26:38,596
Bravo!
457
00:26:38,597 --> 00:26:42,266
Well, let's have something to eat.
There are lots of desserts.
458
00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:43,684
Help me serve them.
459
00:26:43,685 --> 00:26:46,186
I was having a very hard time.
460
00:26:46,187 --> 00:26:50,065
I mean, I pretended to be okay,
but I was struggling inside.
461
00:26:50,066 --> 00:26:51,943
It was awful,
462
00:26:52,527 --> 00:26:54,737
seeing everybody happy,
463
00:26:54,738 --> 00:26:58,450
my parents, my family, my grandma.
464
00:27:00,910 --> 00:27:04,830
I wanted someone
to burst that balloon of lies.
465
00:27:04,831 --> 00:27:06,499
To spill everything out.
466
00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:11,046
I wish someone had told me,
"Snap out of it!"
467
00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:19,012
198 POUNDS
468
00:27:22,349 --> 00:27:24,433
- Do you like that one?
- Yes.
469
00:27:24,434 --> 00:27:27,103
- It has a discount, right?
- Yes, 20% off.
470
00:27:27,771 --> 00:27:28,772
This one.
471
00:27:29,356 --> 00:27:33,734
- Did you see this one? It's the same.
- It's not.
472
00:27:33,735 --> 00:27:37,197
Aren't you getting ahead of yourself
with that color? What if it's a boy?
473
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:40,575
Okay, who needs to like it, you or me?
474
00:27:41,076 --> 00:27:42,577
I like this one.
475
00:27:43,495 --> 00:27:44,871
Okay, okay.
476
00:27:45,538 --> 00:27:47,706
We'll take that one, please.
477
00:27:47,707 --> 00:27:48,708
Thank you.
478
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:51,836
I need to sit down.
479
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:58,217
I was so, so big!
I literally reached 216 pounds.
480
00:27:58,218 --> 00:28:00,844
I gained so much weight.
481
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:02,971
I felt sick, and my whole body hurt.
482
00:28:02,972 --> 00:28:04,807
I can't stand for too long.
483
00:28:04,808 --> 00:28:07,726
Arturo would say, "Something's wrong."
484
00:28:07,727 --> 00:28:08,852
Okay.
485
00:28:08,853 --> 00:28:10,229
"Something's not right."
486
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:13,649
- You have to request your leave.
- Not, not yet.
487
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:16,110
I feel fine. I can keep working for a bit.
488
00:28:16,111 --> 00:28:19,155
Ale, why won't you ask for it?
489
00:28:19,656 --> 00:28:21,324
For the baby's sake.
490
00:28:21,908 --> 00:28:24,702
Okay, okay. I'll go.
491
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:27,205
- Stop nagging.
- I'll go with you.
492
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:30,208
No, Arturo, that's not necessary.
493
00:28:30,792 --> 00:28:32,876
I won't take "no" for an answer.
494
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:35,504
- Really, it's not necessary.
- Stop it. I'm going.
495
00:28:35,505 --> 00:28:39,759
LAB ORDER - PATIENT NAME:
MARÍN MENDOZA, ELEONOR ALEJANDRA
496
00:28:42,762 --> 00:28:44,805
I couldn't keep
leaving Arturo out anymore.
497
00:28:44,806 --> 00:28:46,598
After a few years at the hospital,
498
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:50,436
I had picked up some skills,
some clinical knowledge.
499
00:28:50,437 --> 00:28:54,648
So, I made up my own medical record.
500
00:28:54,649 --> 00:28:55,858
MEDICAL RECORD
501
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:59,486
{\an8}12 WEEKS - 14 WEEKS - 17 WEEKS
502
00:28:59,487 --> 00:29:02,532
{\an8}20 WEEKS - 22 WEEKS - 27 WEEKS
503
00:29:08,204 --> 00:29:10,914
When we went to request my leave
504
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:13,667
I thought, "How will I get out of this?"
505
00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:17,337
"What will I do
when he learns I'm not pregnant?"
506
00:29:17,338 --> 00:29:19,381
"They'll think I went crazy."
507
00:29:19,382 --> 00:29:20,633
How far along are you?
508
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:24,012
Ma'am?
509
00:29:24,679 --> 00:29:26,431
How far along are you?
510
00:29:27,807 --> 00:29:30,059
38 weeks.
511
00:29:30,643 --> 00:29:32,020
How are you feeling?
512
00:29:32,854 --> 00:29:33,772
Fine.
513
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:36,691
Any pain, dizziness, nausea?
514
00:29:37,192 --> 00:29:38,777
Insomnia?
515
00:29:39,277 --> 00:29:41,069
- None.
- Good.
516
00:29:41,070 --> 00:29:44,448
I'll use a device
to listen to your baby's heartbeat.
517
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:45,408
Let's see.
518
00:30:09,432 --> 00:30:11,810
No. I can't hear anything.
519
00:30:12,393 --> 00:30:15,355
- No heartbeat?
- I think it's the device.
520
00:30:16,189 --> 00:30:18,149
The old ones worked better.
521
00:30:19,734 --> 00:30:20,985
I'll get another one.
522
00:30:23,738 --> 00:30:26,074
I told you we should have come earlier.
523
00:30:27,492 --> 00:30:29,410
I wanted to come, Arturo.
524
00:30:32,372 --> 00:30:33,665
Arturo.
525
00:30:34,249 --> 00:30:35,792
- Arturo.
- What?
526
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,043
It's…
527
00:30:38,044 --> 00:30:39,629
- What is it?
- I just…
528
00:30:44,759 --> 00:30:45,760
Let's see.
529
00:30:46,261 --> 00:30:47,262
May I?
530
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:06,781
There it is.
531
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:10,869
Good.
532
00:31:11,953 --> 00:31:13,121
So, doctor?
533
00:31:14,205 --> 00:31:17,207
- My son is okay, right?
- Yes, of course.
534
00:31:17,208 --> 00:31:19,210
I'll give you your maternity leave.
535
00:31:22,255 --> 00:31:25,299
The doctor gave me
my 90 days of maternity leave,
536
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:27,594
so Arturo felt calm.
537
00:31:28,094 --> 00:31:30,138
I mean…
538
00:31:31,014 --> 00:31:33,600
Alejandra, at that point, wasn't herself.
539
00:31:34,434 --> 00:31:38,186
At that point, she was falling apart.
540
00:31:38,187 --> 00:31:41,524
She was a mess. She was breaking down.
541
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:49,907
Inside my head, I went, "Am I pregnant?"
542
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:52,409
"I lost it, didn't I?
Did I get pregnant again?"
543
00:31:52,410 --> 00:31:56,038
I mean… If I was pregnant,
how could I do it?
544
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:59,125
Too much was messed up in my head.
545
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:10,094
- Where are you going?
- To the hospital.
546
00:32:10,887 --> 00:32:13,973
Why do you keep going?
You have your leave.
547
00:32:14,474 --> 00:32:17,684
You have no reason to go.
You're going to hurt yourself again.
548
00:32:17,685 --> 00:32:20,103
I like going. It distracts me.
549
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:23,815
Besides, we need to do
the quarterly report, they need me.
550
00:32:23,816 --> 00:32:26,610
- What am I going to do here?
- Stay in bed.
551
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:29,029
I'm begging you.
I can't abandon them like that.
552
00:32:29,030 --> 00:32:32,574
- They don't know how to do it well.
- Who cares! You should rest.
553
00:32:32,575 --> 00:32:33,743
I have to go.
554
00:32:34,243 --> 00:32:37,455
As your mother says,
"Being pregnant isn't being sick."
555
00:32:38,706 --> 00:32:39,707
Okay.
556
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:42,751
Just don't harm my baby.
557
00:32:42,752 --> 00:32:44,920
BIRTH LOG

PATIENT NAME - TYPE OF BIRTH
559
00:32:48,925 --> 00:32:50,093
Hi, love.
560
00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:53,470
Hi, Ale! How are you?
561
00:32:53,471 --> 00:32:54,930
Very well, and you?
562
00:32:54,931 --> 00:32:56,139
Well, too.
563
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:59,435
Can you tell me if my neighbor
was checked in?
564
00:32:59,936 --> 00:33:02,230
Sure. What's her name?
565
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:04,732
Mayra Navarro Vega.
566
00:33:05,274 --> 00:33:06,359
Mayra…
567
00:33:07,193 --> 00:33:09,988
- Let's see.
- She told me she was almost due.
568
00:33:10,571 --> 00:33:11,905
Mayra, Mayra… Let's see.
569
00:33:11,906 --> 00:33:13,824
Here she is.
570
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:17,078
She came today, but she was scheduled
for a C-section tomorrow.
571
00:33:26,879 --> 00:33:29,756
- Let's make a video for the baby.
- Not now, Arturo.
572
00:33:29,757 --> 00:33:31,216
- Come on.
- I'm tired.
573
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:32,676
It's due tomorrow.
574
00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:36,763
No, tomorrow they'll let me know
what to expect.
575
00:33:36,764 --> 00:33:37,848
- Hey.
- What?
576
00:33:37,849 --> 00:33:40,100
I'm craving chocolate. Would you…?
577
00:33:40,101 --> 00:33:41,561
Yup, give me a sec.
578
00:33:44,814 --> 00:33:45,773
Bug.
579
00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:48,234
Our baby will be born tomorrow.
580
00:33:50,153 --> 00:33:51,988
Aren't you happy?
581
00:33:52,905 --> 00:33:55,323
So much that it's hard to show it.
582
00:33:55,324 --> 00:33:56,576
Show us your belly.
583
00:33:57,285 --> 00:34:00,912
Then, ten years from now
when he watches this,
584
00:34:00,913 --> 00:34:03,124
he'll know what your belly looked like.
585
00:34:03,833 --> 00:34:05,793
My son is in there.
586
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:08,880
My son!
587
00:34:09,964 --> 00:34:12,091
Everybody's gonna come see him.
588
00:34:12,592 --> 00:34:15,927
He's gonna live here with us
589
00:34:15,928 --> 00:34:17,263
in this house
590
00:34:18,306 --> 00:34:21,392
that we bought just for him.
591
00:34:23,644 --> 00:34:24,645
Right?

CALL REJECTED
595
00:35:05,645 --> 00:35:07,104
Ale, how are you?
596
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:08,396
Hi, love.
597
00:35:08,397 --> 00:35:11,108
- What are you doing here?
- Visiting a neighbor.
598
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:12,860
- Talk to you later?
- Yes.
599
00:35:15,988 --> 00:35:18,532
I went up to see Mayra around 12:30 p.m.,
600
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:22,036
when she was in recovery.
601
00:35:29,043 --> 00:35:30,127
Hi.
602
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:31,379
Where's the baby?
603
00:35:33,047 --> 00:35:34,048
Right there.
604
00:35:43,724 --> 00:35:45,268
She's so pretty.
605
00:35:48,104 --> 00:35:50,355
And so pale, right?
606
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:51,399
Hi.
607
00:35:55,194 --> 00:35:56,112
Hi.
608
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:10,668
Our deal is still on, right?
609
00:36:11,627 --> 00:36:12,587
Yes.
610
00:36:15,006 --> 00:36:17,008
- Are you okay?
- I'm cold.
611
00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:20,303
- I need to go to the bathroom.
- Put on my cardigan.
612
00:36:21,012 --> 00:36:22,013
Wait.
613
00:36:22,805 --> 00:36:23,973
Here.
614
00:36:35,818 --> 00:36:38,571
- I'll hold the baby.
- Okay.
615
00:37:05,890 --> 00:37:07,683
Hi.
616
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:13,189
Hi, baby girl.
617
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:17,193
Hi, my love.
618
00:37:35,336 --> 00:37:36,420
Are you okay?
619
00:37:38,339 --> 00:37:39,298
Fine.
620
00:37:40,967 --> 00:37:43,302
Did they tell you how much she weighed?
621
00:37:43,886 --> 00:37:45,096
About 4.5 pounds.
622
00:37:46,389 --> 00:37:48,556
4.5 pounds!
623
00:37:48,557 --> 00:37:53,812
I was holding the baby,
when around two or three in the afternoon…
624
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:55,855
Hi, how is everything going?
625
00:37:55,856 --> 00:37:57,191
…a man arrived.
626
00:37:57,692 --> 00:37:59,151
What are you doing here?
627
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:04,490
There's your handiwork.
628
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:06,784
Is that my daughter?
629
00:38:07,368 --> 00:38:10,161
- Why is she holding her?
- Is this the father?
630
00:38:10,162 --> 00:38:11,163
Yes.
631
00:38:11,914 --> 00:38:12,748
Come here.
632
00:38:19,630 --> 00:38:21,299
Mayra has a high fever.
633
00:38:22,341 --> 00:38:27,263
Well, call someone. I'm not a doctor,
I don't know what Mayra has.
634
00:38:30,474 --> 00:38:32,143
What happened, Vale?
635
00:38:32,643 --> 00:38:34,562
I'll get some diapers.
636
00:38:50,453 --> 00:38:52,496
- Hi, love.
- Why didn't you pick up?
637
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,082
I've been calling you.
Are they getting you ready?
638
00:38:56,083 --> 00:38:57,751
No, it's not time yet.
639
00:38:57,752 --> 00:39:00,587
Come on! What do the doctors say?
640
00:39:00,588 --> 00:39:02,422
Let me speak.
641
00:39:02,423 --> 00:39:05,842
What do they say?
I'm not dilated enough yet.
642
00:39:05,843 --> 00:39:09,930
- They're considering a C-section.
- When are they doing the C-section?
643
00:39:10,431 --> 00:39:11,765
I'm still at work.
644
00:39:11,766 --> 00:39:14,684
My boss hasn't told me
if I can leave early.
645
00:39:14,685 --> 00:39:16,686
But I'll meet you as soon as I can.
646
00:39:16,687 --> 00:39:20,023
You don't need to come. I'm fine.
647
00:39:20,024 --> 00:39:23,194
I can't talk now,
but I'll keep you updated.
648
00:39:30,993 --> 00:39:32,077
He already left?
649
00:39:32,078 --> 00:39:33,371
He'll regret this.
650
00:39:33,996 --> 00:39:37,541
I swear I'll make him pay.
That son of a bitch, he'll pay.
651
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:47,051
Easy. No, no.
652
00:39:52,181 --> 00:39:54,808
- Let's change your…
- I have to go.
653
00:39:54,809 --> 00:39:56,310
I can't be here anymore.
654
00:39:56,811 --> 00:39:59,188
What do you mean? What got into you?
655
00:40:00,314 --> 00:40:02,065
Take the baby like we agreed.
656
00:40:02,066 --> 00:40:04,484
My mom won't take me back.
657
00:40:04,485 --> 00:40:06,861
- I'm going to Chihuahua.
- Hey, calm down.
658
00:40:06,862 --> 00:40:10,698
You can't leave me here with her.
We have to do this right.
659
00:40:10,699 --> 00:40:13,993
Hey, hey. Mayra. What's going on? Wait.
660
00:40:13,994 --> 00:40:15,830
I did my part.
661
00:40:16,330 --> 00:40:18,666
There's the baby,
that's what you wanted. Take her.
662
00:40:27,133 --> 00:40:31,302
I take the baby,
I step into the corridor, and take a look.
663
00:40:31,303 --> 00:40:32,762
"I can't do this."
664
00:40:32,763 --> 00:40:36,391
Even though I worked at the hospital,
665
00:40:36,392 --> 00:40:39,645
I couldn't leave with the baby like that.
666
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,068
At that point I was like,
667
00:40:47,069 --> 00:40:49,321
"I should just go. I have to go."
668
00:40:50,406 --> 00:40:53,993
I swear I thought, "Enough. That's it."
669
00:40:59,331 --> 00:41:00,790
But then I reconsidered.
670
00:41:00,791 --> 00:41:03,042
If I leave the baby,
671
00:41:03,043 --> 00:41:08,256
as unfortunately there are people
who do abandon babies at the hospital,
672
00:41:08,257 --> 00:41:10,341
she will end up in foster care.
673
00:41:10,342 --> 00:41:12,051
Why should she pay for this?
674
00:41:12,052 --> 00:41:13,136
I had been stupid.
675
00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:16,140
How would I do this?
How could I get her out?
676
00:41:58,724 --> 00:42:00,308
- You're leaving?
- Yes.
677
00:42:00,309 --> 00:42:01,352
Get some rest!
678
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:31,882
I leave the hospital,
679
00:42:32,383 --> 00:42:34,510
and that's when…
680
00:42:35,094 --> 00:42:38,805
Call it fate, call it coincidence,
681
00:42:38,806 --> 00:42:39,890
I don't know…
682
00:42:41,225 --> 00:42:44,186
So, I keep walking and I hear,
683
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:46,354
"What happened?"
684
00:42:46,355 --> 00:42:47,647
Alejandra!
685
00:42:47,648 --> 00:42:48,816
What happened?
686
00:42:49,942 --> 00:42:51,401
What happened?
687
00:42:51,402 --> 00:42:52,528
I had the baby.
688
00:42:53,028 --> 00:42:56,072
You're kidding. Why are you out here?
689
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:57,240
Calm down, Arturo.
690
00:42:57,241 --> 00:42:59,701
I'm serious, everything is okay.
The birth went well.
691
00:42:59,702 --> 00:43:00,869
What's going on?
692
00:43:01,370 --> 00:43:02,830
What's going on!
693
00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:15,676
I lost our baby.
694
00:43:16,302 --> 00:43:18,261
- What?
- Months ago, I lost our baby.
695
00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:20,264
What are you talking about?
696
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:22,516
What do you…?
697
00:43:26,937 --> 00:43:27,896
Look.
698
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:32,026
- Someone gave me this baby girl.
- What the fuck?
699
00:43:32,693 --> 00:43:36,237
Arturo, I swear they gave her to me.
Listen.
700
00:43:36,238 --> 00:43:39,324
- They gave her to me.
- What am I going to do with you?
701
00:43:39,325 --> 00:43:40,491
Listen… Arturo.
702
00:43:40,492 --> 00:43:42,744
- Get out and give that baby back.
- I won't.
703
00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:44,621
- Get out and give it back.
- I won't.
704
00:43:44,622 --> 00:43:46,789
- I'm telling you!
- No.
705
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:48,124
Get the fuck out of my car!
706
00:43:48,125 --> 00:43:50,836
- I won't.
- Babies are not given away! Get out.
707
00:43:51,337 --> 00:43:52,880
Get out of the car!
708
00:43:56,717 --> 00:43:58,092
Fucking nutcase.
709
00:43:58,093 --> 00:44:00,094
Please, listen to me.
710
00:44:00,095 --> 00:44:01,137
Arturo.
711
00:44:01,138 --> 00:44:03,766
Listen. I'm begging you.
712
00:44:04,391 --> 00:44:07,478
What will happen to her?
It's not her fault.
713
00:44:08,062 --> 00:44:11,314
I'm talking to you! Listen!
714
00:44:11,315 --> 00:44:13,567
- Please!
- Fine, get in!
715
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:18,489
EXIT
716
00:44:28,707 --> 00:44:29,750
What was your plan?
717
00:44:31,293 --> 00:44:32,294
Well…
718
00:44:32,961 --> 00:44:35,881
Mayra, the mother, was going to
be discharged tomorrow morning.
719
00:44:36,715 --> 00:44:40,427
I was going to pretend to be her relative
to expedite things.
720
00:44:41,053 --> 00:44:45,473
By the time you got to the hospital,
I'd have the baby, and the paperwork.
721
00:44:45,474 --> 00:44:48,185
I didn't think this would happen.
722
00:44:48,727 --> 00:44:50,688
- This is not right.
- I'm sorry.
723
00:44:51,438 --> 00:44:53,982
I love you. Please forgive me.
724
00:44:54,650 --> 00:44:57,236
- I was afraid you'd leave me.
- Is that why you lied to me?
725
00:44:58,654 --> 00:45:00,364
I didn't want anyone to know.
726
00:45:01,281 --> 00:45:03,783
What would they say? She was given to me.
727
00:45:03,784 --> 00:45:06,078
Fuck! I don't know, Alejandra!
728
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:09,540
You screwed me big time!
729
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,250
I don't know!
730
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,168
Shit.
731
00:45:14,753 --> 00:45:16,380
There, there, there.
732
00:45:29,351 --> 00:45:32,020
I don't know how you'll do it,
but I want a child of my own.
733
00:45:51,165 --> 00:45:52,374
Give her to me.
734
00:45:57,004 --> 00:45:58,630
Easy, easy.
735
00:45:59,131 --> 00:46:01,759
Easy, baby, easy.
736
00:46:02,634 --> 00:46:04,303
Calm down.
737
00:46:05,262 --> 00:46:08,474
You'll be happy with us.
738
00:46:09,183 --> 00:46:10,517
Easy.
739
00:46:18,442 --> 00:46:19,693
Easy, baby.
740
00:47:23,257 --> 00:47:25,466
- Police!
- Police! Hands up!
741
00:47:25,467 --> 00:47:27,802
- Get up!
- Police!
742
00:47:27,803 --> 00:47:29,805
- Police!
- We didn't do anything!
743
00:47:30,472 --> 00:47:31,681
Police!
744
00:47:31,682 --> 00:47:34,350
- No, no, no!
- Where is she?
745
00:47:34,351 --> 00:47:37,603
I swear she was given to me!
She was given to me!
746
00:47:37,604 --> 00:47:38,813
I am her mom!
747
00:47:38,814 --> 00:47:40,982
- Arturo, my baby!
- Easy, it's okay.
748
00:47:40,983 --> 00:47:42,066
I'm her mom!
749
00:47:42,067 --> 00:47:45,361
I know you are. That's it, come here.
750
00:47:45,362 --> 00:47:47,405
Do as they say! Do as they say, Ale!
751
00:47:47,406 --> 00:47:50,283
That's it. Easy.
752
00:47:50,284 --> 00:47:53,202
Confirmed. We found the baby!
Call the paramedic!
753
00:47:53,203 --> 00:47:54,704
- Let her go, asshole!
- Shut up!
754
00:47:54,705 --> 00:47:56,205
- Let go of her!
- Shut up!
755
00:47:56,206 --> 00:47:57,456
Let go of her!
756
00:47:57,457 --> 00:48:00,294
Shut the fuck up! Fucking kidnapper!
757
00:48:00,878 --> 00:48:03,087
- Identify yourself!
- Arturo Calderón Gamino.
758
00:48:03,088 --> 00:48:04,589
And you? Who are you?
759
00:48:04,590 --> 00:48:06,966
She's Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza.
760
00:48:06,967 --> 00:48:09,094
Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza.
761
00:48:36,997 --> 00:48:40,249
We're playing songs from the past.
762
00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:43,670
For the romantics, we have this classic.
763
00:48:49,927 --> 00:48:53,346
We were in the police car,
and that song started playing.
764
00:48:53,347 --> 00:48:56,015
The song we danced to at our wedding.
765
00:48:56,016 --> 00:48:59,268
The song we danced at our wedding.
Our special song.
766
00:48:59,269 --> 00:49:02,606
At that moment I thought…
767
00:49:04,024 --> 00:49:05,524
I don't know…
768
00:49:05,525 --> 00:49:07,527
For me, it was a sign.
769
00:49:09,029 --> 00:49:11,530
We love each other, we'll be okay.
770
00:49:11,531 --> 00:49:12,950
That's what I felt.
771
00:49:18,372 --> 00:49:20,706
Sir, please stop playing that song.
772
00:49:20,707 --> 00:49:22,793
Sir, please stop playing that song!
773
00:49:23,919 --> 00:49:27,005
Please, stop playing that song.
Please, just stop it.
774
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:52,239
What did you do to her?
775
00:49:52,739 --> 00:49:55,783
- How much did they pay you?
- What were your plans?
776
00:49:55,784 --> 00:49:58,452
- Was your husband in it?
- Did you plan this together?
777
00:49:58,453 --> 00:50:02,457
My husband had nothing to do with this.
And I didn't steal the baby.
778
00:50:04,251 --> 00:50:06,461
I made a deal with her mother.
779
00:50:07,254 --> 00:50:09,673
I met her five months ago at the hospital.
780
00:50:10,173 --> 00:50:13,677
We started to talk… she and I.
781
00:50:14,177 --> 00:50:16,137
She tells me she's a single mom.
782
00:50:16,138 --> 00:50:18,764
That this is her second child,
from a different dad.
783
00:50:18,765 --> 00:50:20,933
And she doesn't want the baby.
784
00:50:20,934 --> 00:50:24,103
She tells me she wants to have an abortion
or give it away.
785
00:50:24,104 --> 00:50:28,524
And I tell her, if she's sure about it,
to please consider me.
786
00:50:28,525 --> 00:50:30,234
Do you have proof of that deal?
787
00:50:30,235 --> 00:50:33,487
- What do you say, sir?
- Why did you take the baby?
788
00:50:33,488 --> 00:50:36,198
{\an8}FEDERAL DISTRICT'S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
789
00:50:36,199 --> 00:50:38,325
{\an8}This is the kidnapper.
790
00:50:38,326 --> 00:50:41,787
{\an8}Investigations point at her
and her husband, Arturo Calderón.
791
00:50:41,788 --> 00:50:44,749
The PGR has arrested these subjects…
792
00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:47,418
…under the charge of kidnapping a minor.
793
00:50:47,419 --> 00:50:51,589
On Wednesday they kidnapped Valentina
from Mexico's General Hospital.
794
00:50:51,590 --> 00:50:53,884
while anxiety took over
the baby's parents.
795
00:51:15,530 --> 00:51:19,617
In another life
796
00:51:19,618 --> 00:51:23,496
We got married
And traveled all over the world
797
00:51:23,497 --> 00:51:27,124
We moved to a flat on the second floor
798
00:51:27,125 --> 00:51:31,546
My parents and your parents are friends
799
00:51:32,798 --> 00:51:35,049
Our children
800
00:51:35,050 --> 00:51:39,011
Have my patience and your smile
801
00:51:39,012 --> 00:51:42,807
We go for strolls, and we read poetry
802
00:51:42,808 --> 00:51:47,104
Shit, we had a great other life!
803
00:51:48,438 --> 00:51:50,481
Not this one
804
00:51:50,482 --> 00:51:54,443
I don't know why it didn't work out
805
00:51:54,444 --> 00:51:58,239
Maybe it was a whim of God
806
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:04,120
The courage
That we both always lacked
807
00:52:04,121 --> 00:52:09,959
But I'll wait for you here
808
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:14,046
If you change your mind
809
00:52:14,047 --> 00:52:17,592
It's not too late to return…
810
00:52:19,177 --> 00:52:24,266
I've been in prison for 13 years,
3 months, and 25 days.
811
00:52:35,735 --> 00:52:37,070
When I first got here,
812
00:52:37,737 --> 00:52:39,656
I was overwhelmed.
813
00:52:40,782 --> 00:52:44,326
It was not just Alejandra
walking into prison.
814
00:52:44,327 --> 00:52:47,247
Alejandra was considered a liar.
815
00:52:48,248 --> 00:52:50,709
Alejandra had hurt her parents.
816
00:52:51,751 --> 00:52:55,338
Alejandra had hurt her husband.
817
00:52:57,966 --> 00:53:02,220
Alejandra had done something terrible
without meaning to.
818
00:53:14,024 --> 00:53:15,816
The first few years were hard
819
00:53:15,817 --> 00:53:18,570
as my husband, Arturo,
was considered my accomplice.
820
00:53:19,070 --> 00:53:23,032
I felt guilty
for what he was going through.
821
00:53:23,033 --> 00:53:25,868
I wanted to live through
what he was living.
822
00:53:25,869 --> 00:53:27,870
I wanted to…
823
00:53:27,871 --> 00:53:31,665
If Arturo had to sleep
in the bathroom in jail,
824
00:53:31,666 --> 00:53:34,085
I wanted to be
sleeping in the bathroom too.
825
00:53:35,503 --> 00:53:37,756
If he didn't eat, neither did I.
Stuff like that.
826
00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:44,762
{\an8}FEDERAL DISTRICT'S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
827
00:53:44,763 --> 00:53:47,891
She did something unforgivable.
828
00:53:49,601 --> 00:53:52,604
And yes, I felt…
829
00:53:53,104 --> 00:53:54,314
angry.
830
00:53:55,690 --> 00:53:59,736
That's what I felt towards her back then.
831
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,489
Thoughts like,
"This could bring legal consequences,"
832
00:54:03,490 --> 00:54:07,076
or, "This could make me stop loving her,"
833
00:54:07,077 --> 00:54:10,997
or, "We should separate, she's a liar."
834
00:54:11,790 --> 00:54:14,875
"Because you lied to me,
because this isn't my son."
835
00:54:14,876 --> 00:54:17,253
"You did things you shouldn't have."
836
00:54:17,254 --> 00:54:20,881
"You're an evil woman," things like that.
837
00:54:20,882 --> 00:54:22,383
"I'll never see her again."
838
00:54:22,384 --> 00:54:25,302
That's all I thought about
when I was in jail.
839
00:54:25,303 --> 00:54:27,805
I felt my head was about to explode.
840
00:54:27,806 --> 00:54:29,140
The fear.
841
00:54:29,766 --> 00:54:33,852
That fear that turns into terror.
842
00:54:33,853 --> 00:54:37,648
I wanted to cry, but I couldn't,
or I might get a beating.
843
00:54:37,649 --> 00:54:40,567
Or get a worse one for being a whiner.
844
00:54:40,568 --> 00:54:41,777
I was broken.
845
00:54:41,778 --> 00:54:45,282
Emotionally, physically, all around.
846
00:54:45,865 --> 00:54:48,451
That's how I felt
when I arrived in prison.
847
00:54:54,791 --> 00:54:57,460
Here's the rest.
I'll give you the others later.
848
00:54:59,296 --> 00:55:02,340
Give yourself a 4.1 or a 5.1
849
00:55:02,882 --> 00:55:05,259
Stop talking to Arturo.
That's enough, babe.
850
00:55:05,260 --> 00:55:09,638
Yesterday, when I called Arturo,
he was so annoying.
851
00:55:09,639 --> 00:55:10,639
Yeah, I heard.
852
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,808
Were you there? So you were already in.
853
00:55:12,809 --> 00:55:14,310
- You heard that, right?
- What?
854
00:55:14,311 --> 00:55:17,730
Things got really intense last night.
I have to call him, right?
855
00:55:17,731 --> 00:55:19,606
He's going through andropause.
856
00:55:19,607 --> 00:55:21,734
I said, "Hi, honey. How are you?"
857
00:55:21,735 --> 00:55:24,696
He said, "Hi. Good, and you?"
858
00:55:25,196 --> 00:55:28,198
And I say, "Here, love. What did you do?"
859
00:55:28,199 --> 00:55:29,325
"I'm angry."
860
00:55:29,326 --> 00:55:31,160
Poor baby.
861
00:55:31,161 --> 00:55:34,371
He's suffering,
but you have to give in a little.
862
00:55:34,372 --> 00:55:36,165
So, you only want him to give in.
863
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:39,419
And what am I supposed to do?
Do what he wants me to do?
864
00:55:40,378 --> 00:55:41,754
More or less.
865
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:43,840
{\an8}- I'm all for women's liberation.
- Yeah, Ale!
866
00:55:45,258 --> 00:55:46,550
He always wins.
867
00:55:46,551 --> 00:55:49,304
There's no way you can control him.
868
00:55:50,055 --> 00:55:52,515
Nobody values his effort.
869
00:55:57,437 --> 00:56:01,690
The investigation will focus
on two hypotheses.
870
00:56:01,691 --> 00:56:03,692
First one. The baby was stolen.
871
00:56:03,693 --> 00:56:07,696
Second one. The baby was given away. Why?
872
00:56:07,697 --> 00:56:10,699
Let's listen to the following statement.
873
00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:14,453
This woman said the mother of the baby
gave it to her.
874
00:56:14,454 --> 00:56:17,540
I met her five months ago at the hospital.
875
00:56:18,041 --> 00:56:22,837
We started to talk, she and I.
876
00:56:23,463 --> 00:56:25,839
She tells me she's a single mom.
877
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,134
That this is her second child,
from a different dad.
878
00:56:29,135 --> 00:56:31,096
And she doesn't want the baby.
879
00:56:31,679 --> 00:56:38,018
{\an8}She tells me she wants to have an abortion
or give it away.
880
00:56:38,019 --> 00:56:42,189
{\an8}Eleonor is putting the blame
on the newborn's mother.
881
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,691
She says they had an arrangement that
882
00:56:44,692 --> 00:56:47,654
she would give her,
she would hand over the baby.
883
00:56:48,238 --> 00:56:51,782
I felt guilty for leaving her alone.
884
00:56:51,783 --> 00:56:53,450
It was awful.
885
00:56:53,451 --> 00:56:55,661
Despair, anxiety.
886
00:56:55,662 --> 00:56:57,455
I want to hold her again,
887
00:56:58,623 --> 00:57:01,625
and be forgiven for leaving her alone.
888
00:57:01,626 --> 00:57:05,879
{\an8}The justice system will have to decide
what happened.
889
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,216
{\an8}And, of course,
sanction whoever is responsible.
890
00:57:09,217 --> 00:57:11,218
As a judge,
891
00:57:11,219 --> 00:57:18,100
you can't just dismiss
a version of the facts
892
00:57:18,101 --> 00:57:21,895
just assuming, "This is hard to believe,"
893
00:57:21,896 --> 00:57:24,481
or "It's just impossible
that this happened."
894
00:57:24,482 --> 00:57:26,608
"This doesn't happen in real life."
895
00:57:26,609 --> 00:57:28,277
In real life,
896
00:57:28,278 --> 00:57:33,949
more things happen
than what fiction could ever imagine.
897
00:57:33,950 --> 00:57:36,076
So, it was possible.
898
00:57:36,077 --> 00:57:40,956
So, it was possible she had an agreement
with the mother of the child.
899
00:57:40,957 --> 00:57:41,874
{\an8}EVIDENCE
900
00:57:41,875 --> 00:57:46,753
{\an8}And we, as judges, beyond the positions
people may have as individuals,
901
00:57:46,754 --> 00:57:50,757
{\an8}the truth is that everything is subject
to how it is proven,
902
00:57:50,758 --> 00:57:54,721
{\an8}or rather, whether it can be proven
during the trial.
903
00:57:55,930 --> 00:57:58,558
EVIDENCE
904
00:58:05,940 --> 00:58:08,984
{\an8}At the trial, Alejandra told her story.
905
00:58:08,985 --> 00:58:12,821
{\an8}And did it in a consistent manner
906
00:58:12,822 --> 00:58:16,701
{\an8}regarding the struggle she went through.
907
00:58:17,202 --> 00:58:20,120
{\an8}A woman in a functional marriage,
908
00:58:20,121 --> 00:58:22,247
{\an8}but with no fulfillment,
909
00:58:22,248 --> 00:58:26,586
{\an8}as she can't comply with the social norm
of becoming a mother.
910
00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:31,381
{\an8}Her in-laws reproach her,
911
00:58:31,382 --> 00:58:33,300
saying things like,
912
00:58:33,301 --> 00:58:38,597
"You're worthless as a woman
if you can't have children."
913
00:58:38,598 --> 00:58:43,268
A woman who can't be a mother
can only make us feel compassion.
914
00:58:43,269 --> 00:58:46,188
In this story, as in many others,
915
00:58:46,189 --> 00:58:49,066
we see how these gender-based norms
916
00:58:49,067 --> 00:58:53,237
affect women
in such a disproportionate way,
917
00:58:53,238 --> 00:58:57,325
that they do the unthinkable,
as was the case here.
918
00:58:58,660 --> 00:58:59,744
A family
919
00:59:00,245 --> 00:59:01,871
is the husband,
920
00:59:02,372 --> 00:59:03,664
the mother,
921
00:59:03,665 --> 00:59:04,749
the house,
922
00:59:05,375 --> 00:59:06,417
the car,
923
00:59:07,293 --> 00:59:08,378
and the kids.
924
00:59:09,420 --> 00:59:13,841
I think all that
hurt my daughter psychologically.
925
00:59:15,468 --> 00:59:20,889
When I said, "I don't want to adopt,
I want a child of my flesh and blood."
926
00:59:20,890 --> 00:59:25,686
Maybe I contributed by closing myself off
in that way, you know?
927
00:59:25,687 --> 00:59:28,606
I admit I did push her a bit
928
00:59:29,107 --> 00:59:31,066
because I wanted to be a dad.
929
00:59:31,067 --> 00:59:34,612
I want… I want to be a dad,
and I want to have a son.
930
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:39,908
Being in jail gives you a lot of time
to think things over.
931
00:59:39,909 --> 00:59:44,663
I reflected on where I might have failed
as a partner, you know?
932
00:59:44,664 --> 00:59:46,957
Back then, I didn't understand it,
933
00:59:46,958 --> 00:59:49,751
nor did I justify it,
nor did I say a word.
934
00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:52,546
But time helped to soften the edges.
935
00:59:52,547 --> 00:59:56,174
And dealing with
what I was facing in prison,
936
00:59:56,175 --> 00:59:58,720
I started talking a bit more with Ale.
937
01:00:00,013 --> 01:00:03,432
"Ale, I am sorry for not writing sooner."
938
01:00:03,433 --> 01:00:06,852
"I was confused and overwhelmed,
scared and depressed."
939
01:00:06,853 --> 01:00:10,188
"It's hard for me
to understand the lying."
940
01:00:10,189 --> 01:00:12,232
"It affects and hurts me deeply."
941
01:00:12,233 --> 01:00:14,943
"Of course, that was no small thing."
942
01:00:14,944 --> 01:00:18,280
"But even so, from the bottom
of my heart, I forgive you."
943
01:00:18,281 --> 01:00:22,075
"Hi, my love, my sweetheart,
my light, and my everything."
944
01:00:22,076 --> 01:00:26,371
"I hope bedbugs are letting you sleep,
since you love to sleep."
945
01:00:26,372 --> 01:00:28,665
"Love, I want to tell you something,
946
01:00:28,666 --> 01:00:30,417
and I hope it doesn't upset you."
947
01:00:30,418 --> 01:00:35,047
"I'm going to work hard to save money
to afford an IVF."
948
01:00:35,048 --> 01:00:38,842
"I read we could get a surrogate mother."
949
01:00:38,843 --> 01:00:41,303
"We have to overcome this nightmare."
950
01:00:41,304 --> 01:00:43,221
"You must stay strong."
951
01:00:43,222 --> 01:00:45,058
"I love you with all my heart."
952
01:00:46,142 --> 01:00:49,102
I spent two years in prison.
953
01:00:49,103 --> 01:00:50,646
Two years and six months.
954
01:00:50,647 --> 01:00:52,690
That was until the trial ended.
955
01:00:53,191 --> 01:00:55,609
And I was acquitted.
956
01:00:55,610 --> 01:00:59,029
They don't care
about the psychological harm.
957
01:00:59,030 --> 01:01:02,407
They just say, "You're acquitted."
958
01:01:02,408 --> 01:01:05,994
"We'll tear up your file in your face."
959
01:01:05,995 --> 01:01:08,538
"You have a clean slate."
960
01:01:08,539 --> 01:01:10,375
But the stigma remains.
961
01:01:11,709 --> 01:01:15,545
Our conclusion was that,
from a criminal standpoint,
962
01:01:15,546 --> 01:01:18,131
he committed no willful misconduct.
963
01:01:18,132 --> 01:01:19,424
He wasn't an accomplice,
964
01:01:19,425 --> 01:01:22,929
because he only knew Alejandra's version
of her encounter with Mayra.
965
01:01:24,847 --> 01:01:26,723
And that alleged deal with Mayra
966
01:01:26,724 --> 01:01:30,061
was the weakest part
of Alejandra's defense.
967
01:01:31,396 --> 01:01:38,318
The staff of the hospital notice
the baby is missing and call the police.
968
01:01:38,319 --> 01:01:41,071
When the police get to the hospital,
969
01:01:41,072 --> 01:01:43,490
she says her baby was stolen.
970
01:01:43,491 --> 01:01:46,243
I'm assuming so, who knows.
971
01:01:46,244 --> 01:01:49,329
But the police were notified
by hospital staff.
972
01:01:49,330 --> 01:01:53,041
Of course I know no one can do that,
973
01:01:53,042 --> 01:01:55,877
and it was either her or me in prison.
974
01:01:55,878 --> 01:01:58,505
She couldn't give her baby away
975
01:01:58,506 --> 01:02:00,633
as that's also illegal.
976
01:02:02,301 --> 01:02:05,053
It was hard to reach you, Mayra.
977
01:02:05,054 --> 01:02:08,640
For a long time,
I just got to hear Ale's version
978
01:02:08,641 --> 01:02:12,728
who said you two met at the hospital
when you were pregnant.
979
01:02:12,729 --> 01:02:17,524
After giving birth, you left the baby
and set off for Chihuahua.
980
01:02:17,525 --> 01:02:19,527
What do you think about that?
981
01:02:20,862 --> 01:02:22,864
That it doesn't make sense.
982
01:02:24,365 --> 01:02:26,409
It doesn't add up at all.
983
01:02:28,286 --> 01:02:29,454
I mean,
984
01:02:30,204 --> 01:02:34,166
if you're going to give away a baby,
you don't do it inside a hospital.
985
01:02:34,167 --> 01:02:36,669
You wouldn't have taken her
like she took her.
986
01:02:40,006 --> 01:02:42,340
There was never a deal. Never.
987
01:02:42,341 --> 01:02:45,302
{\an8}I didn't meet her until Katya was born.
988
01:02:45,303 --> 01:02:47,387
{\an8}And the evidence was presented.
989
01:02:47,388 --> 01:02:50,933
{\an8}My pregnancy records
are at the healthcare center.
990
01:02:51,434 --> 01:02:54,353
I only went to the hospital to give birth,
and that's that.
991
01:02:55,396 --> 01:02:57,981
I had my pregnancy check-ups
in another health facility.
992
01:02:57,982 --> 01:03:00,526
I had never set foot
in the hospital before.
993
01:03:01,277 --> 01:03:04,112
I mean, no. There is no way
that I had seen her before.
994
01:03:04,113 --> 01:03:06,406
PRENATAL CHECKUP
995
01:03:06,407 --> 01:03:10,619
There were documents,
such as the appointment log,
996
01:03:10,620 --> 01:03:13,789
which confirmed that her prenatal care
997
01:03:13,790 --> 01:03:15,999
was carried out in a different clinic.
998
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,629
It was towards the end of the pregnancy
999
01:03:20,630 --> 01:03:23,089
when she went to the General Hospital.
1000
01:03:23,090 --> 01:03:25,967
So, there was no connection
1001
01:03:25,968 --> 01:03:28,970
between the circumstances
described by Alejandra
1002
01:03:28,971 --> 01:03:34,100
and the fact that, in reality,
Mayra had not been at the hospital
1003
01:03:34,101 --> 01:03:38,147
until a few weeks before she gave birth.
1004
01:03:41,567 --> 01:03:47,072
She was wandering in the OB-GYN area.
1005
01:03:47,073 --> 01:03:50,867
She approached me
and said she was doing a survey.
1006
01:03:50,868 --> 01:03:54,454
He showed me her ID badge,
so I trusted her.
1007
01:03:54,455 --> 01:03:56,748
She started asking lots of questions.
1008
01:03:56,749 --> 01:03:58,208
Was this my first baby?
1009
01:03:58,209 --> 01:04:00,335
Was she from the same marriage?
1010
01:04:00,336 --> 01:04:05,131
How was my relationship with her dad?
1011
01:04:05,132 --> 01:04:07,343
That's where she got all the information.
1012
01:04:07,969 --> 01:04:11,722
Her statement was based
on those questions.
1013
01:04:12,723 --> 01:04:15,851
Ale, what doesn't add up on your version
is that on file it says
1014
01:04:15,852 --> 01:04:19,813
you got to the hospital
pretending to be a social worker.
1015
01:04:19,814 --> 01:04:21,773
Were you doing surveys?
1016
01:04:21,774 --> 01:04:25,569
A lot of people might say
what you just told me.
1017
01:04:25,570 --> 01:04:27,779
That I was doing surveys.
1018
01:04:27,780 --> 01:04:29,824
That's not true.
1019
01:04:30,324 --> 01:04:32,909
You got in saying you were her relative?
1020
01:04:32,910 --> 01:04:34,077
Her neighbor.
1021
01:04:34,078 --> 01:04:35,871
I came to see a neighbor.
1022
01:04:35,872 --> 01:04:37,539
You know, stuff like that.
1023
01:04:37,540 --> 01:04:41,752
That she was my neighbor,
and I wanted to visit her.
1024
01:04:43,087 --> 01:04:45,505
{\an8}ELEONOR ALEJANDRA MARÍN MENDOZA
AREA 3 - UROLOGY
1025
01:04:45,506 --> 01:04:49,301
They found the sweater
Alejandra was wearing
1026
01:04:49,302 --> 01:04:55,223
with her ID badge
identifying her as hospital staff.
1027
01:04:55,224 --> 01:05:00,145
They also found this folder
with surveys inside
1028
01:05:00,146 --> 01:05:05,484
which she carried around
to engage with patients.
1029
01:05:06,110 --> 01:05:07,987
When I walked in…
1030
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,282
Mayra was in bed.
I asked, "How are you feeling?"
1031
01:05:12,283 --> 01:05:16,287
She said, "Not well. I have a fever."
1032
01:05:17,246 --> 01:05:19,456
"The baby is over there."
1033
01:05:19,457 --> 01:05:24,002
I saw my daughter for the first time,
1034
01:05:24,003 --> 01:05:25,587
and I fell in love with her.
1035
01:05:25,588 --> 01:05:26,714
Vale.
1036
01:05:27,506 --> 01:05:28,507
Hey, baby girl.
1037
01:05:29,759 --> 01:05:32,303
I thought you were asleep.
1038
01:05:33,471 --> 01:05:36,599
You'll watch this video when you grow up.
1039
01:05:37,183 --> 01:05:38,851
This is where you were born.
1040
01:05:40,102 --> 01:05:41,395
When I walked in,
1041
01:05:42,021 --> 01:05:44,105
when I met my baby,
1042
01:05:44,106 --> 01:05:45,941
there was someone with Mayra.
1043
01:05:45,942 --> 01:05:48,194
I said to Mayra, "Who is she?"
1044
01:05:48,945 --> 01:05:53,657
Mayra replies, "She's a social worker.
She's doing surveys."
1045
01:05:53,658 --> 01:05:57,619
By then, she turned around and walked out.
1046
01:05:57,620 --> 01:05:59,997
She left the documents and left.
1047
01:06:00,873 --> 01:06:05,835
I came back around 6:00 p.m.
when visiting time had ended.
1048
01:06:05,836 --> 01:06:07,587
She had already showered.
1049
01:06:07,588 --> 01:06:09,507
I go, "Everything okay?"
1050
01:06:10,007 --> 01:06:14,886
She replies, "Yes, but I'll make him pay.
That son of a bitch!"
1051
01:06:14,887 --> 01:06:17,681
Take the baby. The deal is on.
1052
01:06:17,682 --> 01:06:19,557
What are you talking about?
1053
01:06:19,558 --> 01:06:22,560
She goes, "I'm going to Chihuahua."
1054
01:06:22,561 --> 01:06:23,812
I'm going to Chihuahua.
1055
01:06:23,813 --> 01:06:24,647
And I was like,
1056
01:06:25,523 --> 01:06:27,607
"What? What do you mean you're leaving?"
1057
01:06:27,608 --> 01:06:30,403
I had a fever of almost 104.
1058
01:06:30,903 --> 01:06:34,531
I couldn't be discharged
because I had an infection.
1059
01:06:34,532 --> 01:06:37,033
I was asked for urine samples.
1060
01:06:37,034 --> 01:06:39,494
I came out of the room
and told my roommates,
1061
01:06:39,495 --> 01:06:41,871
there were two,
1062
01:06:41,872 --> 01:06:44,791
to please keep an eye on my baby.
1063
01:06:44,792 --> 01:06:48,963
I was back quickly.
The bathroom was just a few steps away.
1064
01:06:49,505 --> 01:06:51,256
I got back, and my baby was gone.
1065
01:06:51,257 --> 01:06:57,805
My first thought was that maybe a nurse
had taken her for a bath or to feed her.
1066
01:06:58,305 --> 01:07:00,348
A nurse has her.
1067
01:07:00,349 --> 01:07:03,436
I never, never thought
that my baby had been stolen.
1068
01:07:29,837 --> 01:07:34,341
I just learned my baby was kidnapped,
here at the General Hospital.
1069
01:07:34,842 --> 01:07:38,094
- I want my baby back.
- Address the people.
1070
01:07:38,095 --> 01:07:40,931
Please help me find my baby.
1071
01:07:41,557 --> 01:07:43,225
Whoever has her and is watching,
1072
01:07:44,518 --> 01:07:47,437
you can have my life,
my things, anything I have.
1073
01:07:47,438 --> 01:07:49,231
I just want her back.
1074
01:07:49,732 --> 01:07:50,775
Please.
1075
01:07:54,278 --> 01:07:56,738
All this happened in a public hospital.
1076
01:07:56,739 --> 01:07:57,781
OB-GYN EMERGENCIES
1077
01:07:57,782 --> 01:08:01,118
There are important
institutional responsibilities.
1078
01:08:01,702 --> 01:08:04,287
Hospital security didn't work.
1079
01:08:04,288 --> 01:08:07,874
There was a lack of attention
to Alejandra's situation.
1080
01:08:07,875 --> 01:08:11,002
Three babies had been lost
by the public health system.
1081
01:08:11,003 --> 01:08:13,254
There was no intervention from Psychiatry.
1082
01:08:13,255 --> 01:08:15,632
Nobody realized
what she was going through.
1083
01:08:15,633 --> 01:08:17,967
And what's more, on top of that,
1084
01:08:17,968 --> 01:08:20,470
the maternity leave Alejandra got
1085
01:08:20,471 --> 01:08:24,140
was issued at a public health institution.
1086
01:08:24,141 --> 01:08:27,143
This was really hard to believe.
1087
01:08:27,144 --> 01:08:29,438
Yet, it happened.
1088
01:08:31,023 --> 01:08:36,945
The doctor measured me,
weighed me, and examined me…
1089
01:08:36,946 --> 01:08:37,987
Good.
1090
01:08:37,988 --> 01:08:39,489
…heard the heartbeat.
1091
01:08:39,490 --> 01:08:41,282
I'll issue your leave.
1092
01:08:41,283 --> 01:08:42,910
He actually heard it.
1093
01:08:43,536 --> 01:08:44,536
He did.
1094
01:08:44,537 --> 01:08:46,830
Later, the psychologists told me,
1095
01:08:46,831 --> 01:08:50,376
in the psycho-criminological exam
I had done here…
1096
01:08:51,627 --> 01:08:54,171
They explained that…
1097
01:08:55,005 --> 01:08:56,798
sometimes,
1098
01:08:56,799 --> 01:09:02,679
a person under certain circumstances
can force their own mind
1099
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,266
to produce, say, an echo.
1100
01:09:05,850 --> 01:09:08,185
Which was what the doctor heard.
1101
01:09:08,686 --> 01:09:13,940
An evaluation done by two forensic
psychologists, a male and a female,
1102
01:09:13,941 --> 01:09:20,321
explained that there's a condition
called "psychological pregnancy."
1103
01:09:20,322 --> 01:09:23,158
So the psychological pregnancy
was a way to deal
1104
01:09:23,159 --> 01:09:25,368
with her inability to have children.
1105
01:09:25,369 --> 01:09:27,162
It's a way to…
1106
01:09:27,163 --> 01:09:31,541
That was her response
to all those social pressures.
1107
01:09:31,542 --> 01:09:36,838
That's were suggestion started,
and, thus, the psychological pregnancy.
1108
01:09:36,839 --> 01:09:39,091
And she thinks,
"I started gaining weight."
1109
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,135
"I started feeling nauseous."
1110
01:09:42,136 --> 01:09:44,262
"I started feeling pain in my hips."
1111
01:09:44,263 --> 01:09:46,848
"My stomach started to grow."
1112
01:09:46,849 --> 01:09:48,683
- Bug.
- What?
1113
01:09:48,684 --> 01:09:50,644
Our baby is due tomorrow.
1114
01:09:52,605 --> 01:09:54,440
Aren't you happy?
1115
01:09:55,399 --> 01:09:57,693
So much that it's hard to show it.
1116
01:09:58,194 --> 01:09:59,527
Show us your belly.
1117
01:09:59,528 --> 01:10:04,949
Then, ten years from now
when he watches this,
1118
01:10:04,950 --> 01:10:07,160
he'll know what your belly looked like.
1119
01:10:07,161 --> 01:10:08,329
Our baby.
1120
01:10:09,455 --> 01:10:11,123
My son is in there.
1121
01:10:12,499 --> 01:10:14,668
My son!
1122
01:10:16,295 --> 01:10:18,171
My beautiful son.
1123
01:10:18,172 --> 01:10:19,297
He's due tomorrow.
1124
01:10:19,298 --> 01:10:23,259
It'll be the name day of Saint Ishmael,
but his name will be Arturo
1125
01:10:23,260 --> 01:10:24,844
like his damn dad.
1126
01:10:24,845 --> 01:10:26,679
Everyone will come and see him.
1127
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:33,436
With Alejandra's background
of two miscarriages,
1128
01:10:33,437 --> 01:10:37,149
I understand
she starts to believe this story.
1129
01:10:38,067 --> 01:10:44,113
Furthermore, she is able to make
everyone around her believe her.
1130
01:10:44,114 --> 01:10:46,115
He's gonna live here with us
1131
01:10:46,116 --> 01:10:48,535
in this house that we bought
1132
01:10:49,370 --> 01:10:50,746
just for him.
1133
01:10:51,830 --> 01:10:52,748
Right?
1134
01:11:00,422 --> 01:11:01,507
Let's see.
1135
01:11:03,050 --> 01:11:05,677
To that end, evidence was produced
1136
01:11:05,678 --> 01:11:09,222
which I found conclusive in this sense.
1137
01:11:09,223 --> 01:11:11,891
There had been a baby shower.
1138
01:11:11,892 --> 01:11:17,772
In court, the video was played on screen.
1139
01:11:17,773 --> 01:11:18,982
It was shocking,
1140
01:11:18,983 --> 01:11:24,362
because, unless they were
all great actors and actresses,
1141
01:11:24,363 --> 01:11:26,447
it was clear evidence
1142
01:11:26,448 --> 01:11:32,954
that Alejandra had made her entire family
and other guests believe
1143
01:11:32,955 --> 01:11:34,497
she was pregnant.
1144
01:11:34,498 --> 01:11:35,999
Yes. Sit down, Mommy.
1145
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,169
Not that much. Take a look.
1146
01:11:39,753 --> 01:11:41,963
Wow!
1147
01:11:41,964 --> 01:11:43,340
Bravo!
1148
01:11:45,509 --> 01:11:49,722
Aw, how cute!
1149
01:11:52,224 --> 01:11:55,352
No, no, no. I didn't guess,
it's just an assumption.
1150
01:11:57,396 --> 01:12:01,566
Rah-rah-boom, let's go!
1151
01:12:01,567 --> 01:12:05,361
Boom-bam-rah-rah, hooray!
1152
01:12:05,362 --> 01:12:09,450
The baby, the baby! Rah, rah, rah!
1153
01:12:10,492 --> 01:12:13,078
Anyone want to say a few words
for the new mom?
1154
01:12:13,579 --> 01:12:14,537
Me.
1155
01:12:14,538 --> 01:12:15,748
I'll go.
1156
01:12:16,415 --> 01:12:17,332
Her mom.
1157
01:12:17,333 --> 01:12:20,251
I want to thank you all.
1158
01:12:20,252 --> 01:12:24,005
All her friends, with whom
she has had a lasting friendship.
1159
01:12:24,006 --> 01:12:26,049
My sisters and all my relatives.
1160
01:12:26,050 --> 01:12:28,468
Thank you for joining us today.
1161
01:12:28,469 --> 01:12:30,845
This baby has been long awaited.
1162
01:12:30,846 --> 01:12:33,389
- By the entire family.
- By all of us.
1163
01:12:33,390 --> 01:12:35,475
I hope everything goes smoothly.
1164
01:12:35,476 --> 01:12:37,477
It will.
1165
01:12:37,478 --> 01:12:38,895
Beautiful baby girl.
1166
01:12:38,896 --> 01:12:40,021
Bravo!
1167
01:12:40,022 --> 01:12:43,275
I thought,
"My child is making me a grandmother!"
1168
01:12:43,942 --> 01:12:48,113
But, when I watched the video,
I saw a sadness in her.
1169
01:12:49,406 --> 01:12:51,366
A great sadness.
1170
01:12:51,367 --> 01:12:54,078
I think that's why
she wouldn't stop crying.
1171
01:12:55,746 --> 01:12:57,914
I'd go, "She should be happy."
1172
01:12:57,915 --> 01:13:00,542
I hugged her because…
1173
01:13:02,378 --> 01:13:04,296
Well, it's what we wanted.
1174
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,519
- How's it going?
- What are you up to, Mom?
1175
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,563
Just getting dressed to head over there.
1176
01:13:22,564 --> 01:13:24,316
And my dad?
1177
01:13:25,109 --> 01:13:26,317
He's right here.
1178
01:13:26,318 --> 01:13:28,861
What are you doing, Dad?
1179
01:13:28,862 --> 01:13:31,114
He's fixing some things.
1180
01:13:31,115 --> 01:13:32,658
Did you have breakfast yet?
1181
01:13:33,158 --> 01:13:34,826
Well…
1182
01:13:34,827 --> 01:13:38,287
I was chopping onions and all that.
1183
01:13:38,288 --> 01:13:39,123
Uh-huh.
1184
01:13:39,623 --> 01:13:44,335
Then I made myself
a ham and cheese omelette.
1185
01:13:44,336 --> 01:13:46,045
I'm glad you had breakfast.
1186
01:13:46,046 --> 01:13:49,550
I made your dad some scrambled eggs.
1187
01:14:00,227 --> 01:14:03,354
With the results
of the psychological tests,
1188
01:14:03,355 --> 01:14:06,274
our diagnosis of Alejandra's condition
1189
01:14:06,275 --> 01:14:08,776
was that she tends to dissociate.
1190
01:14:08,777 --> 01:14:11,696
And, in that state, she convinces herself
1191
01:14:11,697 --> 01:14:14,450
and confuses fantasy with reality.
1192
01:14:16,702 --> 01:14:20,121
And, added to that pressure to be a mom,
1193
01:14:20,122 --> 01:14:22,331
is what makes her misinterpret,
1194
01:14:22,332 --> 01:14:23,958
because that's what she does…
1195
01:14:23,959 --> 01:14:26,920
She interprets everything in her favor.
1196
01:14:33,260 --> 01:14:37,430
After the psychological evaluation
and the evidence submitted,
1197
01:14:37,431 --> 01:14:41,267
it wasn't too hard to see
1198
01:14:41,268 --> 01:14:44,770
how all the pieces fit together.
1199
01:14:44,771 --> 01:14:47,607
And, at the end,
the only piece that didn't fit was
1200
01:14:47,608 --> 01:14:52,237
the alleged consent, or supposed consent,
that Mayra would have given.
1201
01:15:02,331 --> 01:15:05,583
Considering the history
of the psychological pregnancy
1202
01:15:05,584 --> 01:15:08,252
and the social pressure,
1203
01:15:08,253 --> 01:15:11,839
we believed the disorder
had influenced her actions,
1204
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:17,720
and this greatly affected
the time she should serve.
1205
01:15:17,721 --> 01:15:19,805
There were other elements at play,
1206
01:15:19,806 --> 01:15:23,184
and a very important one
was that the baby was fine.
1207
01:15:23,185 --> 01:15:25,186
I opted for the minimum possible sentence.
1208
01:15:25,187 --> 01:15:30,942
I couldn't have imposed
a shorter sentence, as this was a felony.
1209
01:15:30,943 --> 01:15:32,026
There was a victim,
1210
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:36,615
and a mother and a father
who wanted justice.
1211
01:15:38,492 --> 01:15:40,577
I feel no compassion for her.
1212
01:15:41,119 --> 01:15:42,788
I never have.
1213
01:15:43,956 --> 01:15:46,875
She felt no compassion
when she stole my baby.
1214
01:15:47,709 --> 01:15:50,420
She has shown no regret.
1215
01:15:53,006 --> 01:15:56,843
If you ask me
if I have forgiven her or if I…
1216
01:15:58,595 --> 01:16:00,305
It's something I can't…
1217
01:16:02,558 --> 01:16:05,561
No, I couldn't. And I could never do that.
1218
01:16:07,354 --> 01:16:11,857
"This court rules
that Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza
1219
01:16:11,858 --> 01:16:14,735
is criminally accountable of the charge
1220
01:16:14,736 --> 01:16:17,113
of illegal deprivation of liberty
1221
01:16:17,114 --> 01:16:19,865
of a victim under 16 years old
1222
01:16:19,866 --> 01:16:24,912
with the purpose of harming her
or someone else."
1223
01:16:24,913 --> 01:16:27,248
"It is warranted to impose the penalties
1224
01:16:27,249 --> 01:16:31,795
of serving 13 years and 4 months
in prison and a fine."
1225
01:16:38,135 --> 01:16:40,971
I don't know why you're here,
and I don't care.
1226
01:16:41,471 --> 01:16:44,265
But you have suffered a lot.
1227
01:16:44,266 --> 01:16:46,560
And it's going to take a lot of work.
1228
01:16:47,144 --> 01:16:50,564
But you are going to make it,
because your first card is triumph.
1229
01:16:51,732 --> 01:16:52,899
This is you.
1230
01:16:54,234 --> 01:16:56,068
Your finances are good.
1231
01:16:56,069 --> 01:16:57,987
Here's your good family.
1232
01:16:57,988 --> 01:17:01,324
With your papers in order. Married.
1233
01:17:01,325 --> 01:17:05,202
This is a good incarceration.
It's a Kabbalistic seven.
1234
01:17:05,203 --> 01:17:07,330
You haven't had an ugly incarceration.
1235
01:17:07,331 --> 01:17:10,791
Here is a bad card.
1236
01:17:10,792 --> 01:17:13,753
Maybe you'll see it in your relationship.
1237
01:17:13,754 --> 01:17:17,590
You may come to know
that he has been fooling around.
1238
01:17:17,591 --> 01:17:21,927
You will find something out,
because here's an infidelity.
1239
01:17:21,928 --> 01:17:23,472
Another question, sweetie.
1240
01:17:24,431 --> 01:17:25,849
Should I stay with Arturo?
1241
01:17:28,602 --> 01:17:31,605
The cards say that you have to
be on your own for a while.
1242
01:17:32,481 --> 01:17:34,733
Give yourself space to see
1243
01:17:35,359 --> 01:17:37,360
what's really best for you.
1244
01:17:37,361 --> 01:17:38,986
Here is Arturo.
1245
01:17:38,987 --> 01:17:42,365
And this is the other woman.
What you are going to be up against.
1246
01:17:42,366 --> 01:17:45,618
Here, it speaks of loneliness,
but much strength.
1247
01:17:45,619 --> 01:17:48,579
It's telling you
that you have a sure victory.
1248
01:17:48,580 --> 01:17:49,914
In every aspect.
1249
01:17:49,915 --> 01:17:51,375
The man that you want.
1250
01:18:02,594 --> 01:18:04,763
What did I do wrong to end up here?
1251
01:18:05,764 --> 01:18:07,432
Breaking the law.
1252
01:18:08,433 --> 01:18:09,518
Deceiving,
1253
01:18:11,645 --> 01:18:12,562
lying,
1254
01:18:14,189 --> 01:18:15,273
hurting.
1255
01:18:16,566 --> 01:18:18,401
I was fearful.
1256
01:18:18,402 --> 01:18:22,988
Afraid they'd leave me
for not being a mom.
1257
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,283
To be judged, to be blamed,
1258
01:18:26,118 --> 01:18:29,079
and in the end,
I was judged for something worse.
1259
01:18:52,936 --> 01:18:54,896
- My love!
- Hi, hon.
1260
01:18:57,733 --> 01:18:58,984
How are you?
1261
01:19:05,073 --> 01:19:07,241
Soon you'll have your wife with you.
1262
01:19:07,242 --> 01:19:08,160
Hmm.
1263
01:19:09,327 --> 01:19:10,746
What do you mean, "Hmm"?
1264
01:19:11,288 --> 01:19:14,624
- Your happiness shows, you can't hide it.
- Yeah, yeah.
1265
01:19:16,835 --> 01:19:19,629
Everyone teases me now.
"Say goodbye to your…
1266
01:19:20,922 --> 01:19:23,674
bachelorhood," they say.
1267
01:19:23,675 --> 01:19:27,763
- Who says that?
- Everyone. Everyone who goes to the store.
1268
01:19:29,514 --> 01:19:32,433
They're teasing
because the witch is coming back?
1269
01:19:32,434 --> 01:19:35,686
"You're whipped.
You won't come around anymore."
1270
01:19:35,687 --> 01:19:36,854
"She won't let you."
1271
01:19:36,855 --> 01:19:38,857
- That's what they say?
- Yes.
1272
01:19:40,567 --> 01:19:43,068
I do think that things will change.
1273
01:19:43,069 --> 01:19:43,986
Yes.
1274
01:19:43,987 --> 01:19:47,573
- The last weekend is coming and it's over.
- Next weekend.
1275
01:19:47,574 --> 01:19:48,825
Wednesday, right?
1276
01:19:51,244 --> 01:19:54,998
I want this to be over already.
1277
01:19:56,082 --> 01:19:57,626
I feel anxious.
1278
01:19:58,126 --> 01:20:01,213
It feels harder, towards the end.
1279
01:20:07,302 --> 01:20:11,430
So, is everything set?
1280
01:20:11,431 --> 01:20:14,433
- Not really. I'm more nervous than before.
- What's missing?
1281
01:20:14,434 --> 01:20:18,146
- When will you leave?
- I think around 2:00 p.m.
1282
01:20:20,106 --> 01:20:21,816
- I love you.
- You do?
1283
01:20:21,817 --> 01:20:22,943
I love you.
1284
01:20:24,486 --> 01:20:27,197
Aw, Ale. I'll miss you.
1285
01:20:28,615 --> 01:20:29,908
Ready. The other one.
1286
01:20:34,496 --> 01:20:37,248
So, are you guys going to the beach?
1287
01:20:37,249 --> 01:20:39,209
How exciting, Ale!
1288
01:20:41,127 --> 01:20:44,338
- I want to go to a river and to the ocean.
- Right, you said that before.
1289
01:20:44,339 --> 01:20:49,343
It's easier to swim in a river.
It's harder in the sea.
1290
01:20:49,344 --> 01:20:52,472
But I do want to bathe in seawater.
1291
01:20:58,228 --> 01:21:00,688
- This is for you, Carlita.
- Thanks, sweetie.
1292
01:21:00,689 --> 01:21:02,399
- Carlita.
- Thank you.
1293
01:21:03,441 --> 01:21:04,984
These are for you.
1294
01:21:04,985 --> 01:21:07,236
Oh, love. Your treasures!
1295
01:21:07,237 --> 01:21:10,866
My treasures.
You know they're my treasures.
1296
01:21:12,158 --> 01:21:15,120
Anyone want the picture of my hubby?
1297
01:21:17,330 --> 01:21:18,623
Just drag it over.
1298
01:21:19,291 --> 01:21:20,249
There.
1299
01:21:20,250 --> 01:21:24,420
And, of course,
these two are for you, love.
1300
01:21:24,421 --> 01:21:26,964
- Clothes I can't give you.
- No, love, I know.
1301
01:21:26,965 --> 01:21:30,634
That's enough.
You're leaving me what matters most.
1302
01:21:30,635 --> 01:21:32,761
We'll all do well, you'll see.
1303
01:21:32,762 --> 01:21:34,221
We will.
1304
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:37,266
- You're the one opening this circle.
- Yes.
1305
01:21:37,267 --> 01:21:39,977
None of us has left. You'll open it now.
1306
01:21:39,978 --> 01:21:40,895
Yes.
1307
01:21:40,896 --> 01:21:43,564
Then, we'll all follow suit.
1308
01:21:43,565 --> 01:21:46,275
- I'll be your lead.
- Yes. You will.
1309
01:21:46,276 --> 01:21:48,778
- I'll take all of you with me, you'll see.
- Yes.
1310
01:21:50,447 --> 01:21:52,615
Don't stop calling me.
1311
01:21:52,616 --> 01:21:53,617
No.
1312
01:21:54,284 --> 01:21:56,869
I love you all. I love you so much.
1313
01:21:56,870 --> 01:21:59,372
Really, I love you.
1314
01:21:59,873 --> 01:22:01,416
I love you too.
1315
01:22:11,885 --> 01:22:13,929
These 13 years in prison,
1316
01:22:14,804 --> 01:22:19,600
I've focused on coming to terms
with not being a mom.
1317
01:22:19,601 --> 01:22:22,645
Before, I think my desire to be a mom
1318
01:22:22,646 --> 01:22:26,816
was more oriented towards pleasing others.
1319
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:29,778
But,
1320
01:22:31,029 --> 01:22:33,323
what else is there besides being a mom?
1321
01:22:34,366 --> 01:22:38,662
And finally, I realized
that there is so much more to live for.
1322
01:22:51,508 --> 01:22:53,676
I love you very much. I love you all.
1323
01:22:53,677 --> 01:22:54,719
Let's cheer her on!
1324
01:22:55,804 --> 01:22:57,888
Hey!
1325
01:22:57,889 --> 01:23:00,599
One, two, three, Ale!
1326
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,102
- Thank you, my darlings.
- We love you, darling.
1327
01:23:03,103 --> 01:23:04,603
Thank you for everything.
1328
01:23:04,604 --> 01:23:06,438
God bless you.
1329
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,107
God bless you, sweetie.
1330
01:23:08,108 --> 01:23:09,442
I love you very much.
1331
01:23:09,943 --> 01:23:11,527
Be strong. Very strong.
1332
01:23:11,528 --> 01:23:13,321
You are strong. Strong.
1333
01:23:13,989 --> 01:23:15,240
I love you very much.
1334
01:23:17,784 --> 01:23:18,867
I love you all.
1335
01:23:18,868 --> 01:23:21,370
Always in my heart. I love you very much.
1336
01:23:21,371 --> 01:23:22,205
Bye.
1337
01:23:25,458 --> 01:23:26,584
Bye, Alita!
1338
01:23:28,253 --> 01:23:31,339
- I'm tearing up already.
- Imagine how I feel!
1339
01:23:32,215 --> 01:23:33,216
She's coming!
1340
01:23:40,557 --> 01:23:43,059
My darling! Come, sweetie!
1341
01:23:44,936 --> 01:23:46,855
We're all here.
1342
01:23:47,772 --> 01:23:50,025
- We're all here for you.
- It's over.
1343
01:23:50,525 --> 01:23:51,984
It's over, baby.
1344
01:23:51,985 --> 01:23:53,111
It's over.
1345
01:23:54,362 --> 01:23:59,159
Alejandra leaves prison at 39.
She went in at 26.
1346
01:23:59,784 --> 01:24:01,535
It's over, my love!
1347
01:24:01,536 --> 01:24:02,996
Bravo, Arturo!
1348
01:24:07,417 --> 01:24:11,713
I've spent more of our marriage alone
than with her.
1349
01:24:15,175 --> 01:24:16,885
Already crying, huh?
1350
01:24:17,802 --> 01:24:20,554
I'm happy with what I have.
1351
01:24:20,555 --> 01:24:24,184
That we can start over again.
1352
01:24:25,226 --> 01:24:29,271
Naturally, there's always the itch
1353
01:24:29,272 --> 01:24:31,482
of having kids of your flesh and blood.
1354
01:24:31,483 --> 01:24:36,862
If the chance comes along to consider
in vitro with a surrogate mother,
1355
01:24:36,863 --> 01:24:38,614
I would consider it.
1356
01:24:38,615 --> 01:24:45,329
With a boy, your family name,
your lineage, keeps going.
1357
01:24:45,330 --> 01:24:47,332
I'd like to have…
1358
01:24:48,333 --> 01:24:49,459
a baby boy.
1359
01:24:51,127 --> 01:24:54,838
It's not as much as before,
but it's still there.
1360
01:24:54,839 --> 01:24:56,758
I think I will always feel that way.
1361
01:25:28,498 --> 01:25:30,833
What do you think our baby will look like?
1362
01:25:30,834 --> 01:25:32,919
Hopefully, not as ugly as that one.
1363
01:25:38,341 --> 01:25:39,551
Is it moving?
1364
01:25:41,886 --> 01:25:43,388
Yes. He is.
1365
01:25:44,472 --> 01:25:45,974
Hey, baby!
1366
01:25:46,683 --> 01:25:48,143
My son!
1367
01:25:53,314 --> 01:25:54,440
Cut!
1368
01:25:57,944 --> 01:25:59,154
What did you think?
1369
01:26:05,201 --> 01:26:06,286
What do you think?
1370
01:26:07,996 --> 01:26:09,038
Good.
1371
01:26:10,415 --> 01:26:11,457
Let's go.
1372
01:26:17,505 --> 01:26:21,134
Being a spectator of my own story
was very impactful.
1373
01:26:21,843 --> 01:26:28,183
In my life, I wish I could have said
"Take 1" or "Take 2"
1374
01:26:29,267 --> 01:26:30,893
and repeat scenes.
1375
01:26:30,894 --> 01:26:32,603
I totally get you, Ale.
1376
01:26:32,604 --> 01:26:37,608
And if we had the opportunity
to write and imagine takes,
1377
01:26:37,609 --> 01:26:40,736
and create an ending for this film,
what would it be?
1378
01:26:40,737 --> 01:26:41,988
I think…
1379
01:26:42,697 --> 01:26:45,700
I'd head in a different direction.
1380
01:26:46,409 --> 01:26:48,535
Keep growing as a person.
1381
01:26:48,536 --> 01:26:49,787
Enjoy my own self.
1382
01:26:50,747 --> 01:26:55,084
Go wander, I think,
1383
01:26:57,003 --> 01:26:59,756
to a beach where I feel happy
1384
01:27:00,381 --> 01:27:01,633
and fulfilled.
1385
01:27:21,945 --> 01:27:25,197
I would have loved to close
with your ending at the beach.
1386
01:27:25,198 --> 01:27:27,157
That would have been a happy ending.
1387
01:27:27,158 --> 01:27:29,993
But it's been two years
since you left prison.
1388
01:27:29,994 --> 01:27:32,537
Based on what has happened since then,
1389
01:27:32,538 --> 01:27:34,540
how would you end the documentary?
1390
01:27:37,418 --> 01:27:39,712
What ending would I tell?
1391
01:27:44,509 --> 01:27:45,927
Wow…
1392
01:27:46,511 --> 01:27:48,054
Life changes…
1393
01:27:49,097 --> 01:27:50,139
in a heartbeat.
1394
01:27:54,769 --> 01:27:56,436
Soon after I left prison
1395
01:27:56,437 --> 01:28:01,942
Arturo told me
he still wanted to be a dad.
1396
01:28:01,943 --> 01:28:07,572
I replied he had the right
to pursue his happiness.
1397
01:28:07,573 --> 01:28:13,036
I wasn't willing to undergo any treatment,
and with me, he wasn't going to be a dad.
1398
01:28:13,037 --> 01:28:15,914
We were separated for a while,
we gave each other space,
1399
01:28:15,915 --> 01:28:19,501
and he had a relationship, a short affair
1400
01:28:19,502 --> 01:28:22,422
and a son was born, his son.
1401
01:28:24,549 --> 01:28:26,842
After that, Arturo came back
looking for me.
1402
01:28:26,843 --> 01:28:29,428
We talked, and he told me
what had happened.
1403
01:28:29,429 --> 01:28:33,558
He said that he missed me,
that he loved me,
1404
01:28:34,350 --> 01:28:36,894
and that he wanted me in his life.
1405
01:28:37,395 --> 01:28:39,397
He asked me to try again,
1406
01:28:40,481 --> 01:28:42,191
and I decided to do so.
1407
01:28:44,485 --> 01:28:49,948
It makes me happy
to see him fulfilled as a father.
1408
01:28:49,949 --> 01:28:55,579
But even more, it makes me happy
that he sees me in his life
1409
01:28:55,580 --> 01:28:56,706
as the…
1410
01:28:57,582 --> 01:28:59,584
mom or dad of his child.
1411
01:35:54,206 --> 01:35:59,211
