hM
her brother Andres Palacios, himself a fugitive.
If we don't leave, we're screwed.
Thank you.
Thank you for today.
Are you saying... that you think he's going to die?
I gave you everything I had.
I have the right to reap something from my investment.
Investment?
I think that with a little nudge,
this woman eases her guilt and confesses everything.
We've autopsied Carmen's body.
And?
Your sister was murdered.
Andy? What's wrong?
Andy!
My sister Carmen was murdered.
I think you and Marlene had her killed.
EVA'S DESTINY
Eva...
I swear...
I swear I didn't want that to happen to Carmen.
You did, Armando! Of course you did!
Marlene wanted it, too.
We both know my sister was blackmailing you too.
She was a thorn in your side.
Evencio told me Sofia found out her accident was no accident,
and that that's why you had her killed.
You know what, Armando?
I really, really hoped I had been wrong all along,
but I'm sure of it now.
You and Marlene killed my sister.
Do it for me, Armando. Do it for yourself!
The time is now.
Admit that you both killed Carmen.
"Secretarial position available."
"Must know Excel, Word...
and must be able to use Photoshop."
"Must be able to type at least 200 words per minute."
That's too much!
200 words per minute?
What the hell is Excel? Huh?
"Veterinary assistant wanted."
I like dogs.
"Must be certified as a veterinarian assistant
and have at least two years experience."
What am I going to do?
Really? What am I going to do?
I'm useless!
How will I survive?
I don't know...
God... please send me a sign.
Please!
Hello?
Cinthia?
You win.
Pack your bags. You're moving in with me.
The truth...
so you can finally sleep at night.
I don't know what you're talking about, Eva.
I really don't know what to say!
You do know!
You know exactly what I'm talking about, Armando.
The autopsy confirmed that Carmen was murdered.
You and Marlene had her killed.
No!
A thousand times no! We didn't!
Fine.
I know this isn't the right time.
Eva...
I didn't do it, Eva.
I swear on all that is holy that I didn't!
Don't lie to me. Especially not now!
MENOS CUANDO ESTÁS ASÍ TAN GRAVE.
You know what kills me?
I was dying to believe you,
but there's no way you can mend a heart that's been shattered.
There's no way I can ever trust you again.
Eva...
Eva.
Tell me you can help.
Please!
Calm down, sweetheart.
A friend helped me get everything I need.
What do I do?
I got this.
What is that?
Don't worry. This will save him.
What is it?
Relax, Marlene.
It's an adrenaline shot.
What are you doing, Rebeca?
Calm down and trust me.
I'm happy my dad's awake.
At the same time, I'm afraid it won't last
and that he'll get worse again.
No way, honey! He'll get better.
Don't worry. I promise he will.
-You think so? -Yes!
-Hello, everyone. -Hello.
Hi.
I'm glad you're both here.
I have something important to say.
As of today, Cinthia will be living with us.
Aren't you happy, honey?
I don't know what's going on and I don't support this,
but fine.
This is your house.
Adriana, could you do something for me?
Could you take Cinthia to your mother's old bedroom?
She'll be staying there. Thank you.
We'll talk later.
Alright.
I know you hate her and blame her for Dad's death.
I want to know why you're allowing her to stay with us.
Andy?
He's awake! I saved him!
I saved him.
Andy!
Are you okay?
What happened?
Don't ever do that to me again, Andy!
Are you okay?
Sit down.
What happened?
I pressured him, but he didn't admit it.
He won't admit it.
It would be absurd for him to do so.
People don't go through life
telling others about the crimes they've committed.
Life? What life?
He almost died.
I'm furious.
He didn't admit it, but he was upset when I accused him of it.
Eva...
What's wrong?
Sit, sit...
-Eva? -It's nothing.
No, no. What do you mean?
You almost fainted. You're pale and you're dizzy.
No, no, no. I'm just dizzy.
Calm down. I'm fine.
Listen to me.
What?
You need to rest.
Let me take you home.
Fine.
Are you going to calm down?
Uncross your arms!
Let me do things my way.
Don't you trust me?
Want me to leave her out on the streets?
Would you prefer that?
Don't you realize that she needs our help?
Mom, there are many ways to help people.
You don't really want to help her.
I thought you hated her!
I thought you hated my father's murderers!
Why did you have her move in?
What are you talking about?
When did you become such a spiteful person?
You're badmouthing the woman who raised you?
No! Don't give me that!
I know that's not it. Spill it!
Come on!
-You don't believe me? -No!
Then don't and quit questioning me.
Y DEJA DE ESTARME ACOSANDO CON TUS PREGUNTAS,
I don't have to explain myself to you.
Fine.
If you don't kick her out, then I'll leave.
-You're blackmailing me? -Yes!
You're trying to manipulate me.
It's the only choice I have left.
No, there are many other options available.
Don't bother trying to change my mind, though.
I can be as sweet as molasses, but don't try me.
Wow!
Thank you for bringing me home. You're absolutely right.
I'm exhausted and I do need to rest.
Is that so?
It's nice to hear you admit it. You can be so stubborn.
No need to go there.
Fine. Get some rest.
I want to be there with Marcos while he questions Armando.
No.
No, no...
What?
You're wasting your time. Armando won't admit to it.
He might not,
but he could contradict himself or give us a clue.
I want to be there.
I'll tell you about it later.
Get some rest.
Thanks.
Bye.
This is insane. You can't do this!
Kick her out or Adriana and I will leave.
-Is that so? -Yes.
You know what?
If her presence here bothers you so much
and you won't work with me,
then that's fine by me.
I think my dear Eva will be happy to have you at her place.
You're throwing us out?
No. You know what?
You can actually move to the Monteverde's old house.
We own it now.
It is, after all, your childhood home.
It's your choice.
Excuse me.
What is that?
ARMANDO: ¿QUÉ ES ESO?
An antibiotic.
You get your pain meds in two hours.
If you're in a lot of pain, I'll come by sooner.
I'm fine.
Good evening.
What are you doing here?
Get rid of him.
ARMANDO: ¿Y TÚ QUÉ HACES AQUÍ? ¡QUÉ SE LARGUE!
I'm sorry, but I won't be able to humor you, Mr. Montes.
Mr. Contreras is here as an advisor.
EN CALIDAD DE ASESOR DE LA POLICÍA.
He's staying.
I suppose you know why we're here.
Nope.
I have no idea. Explain yourself.
And please be brief. I'm not feeling well.
You're suspected of murder.
Mr. Evencio Martinez
requested we autopsy his late wife's remains.
So?
It so happens...
that Carmen Soler was murdered with potassium chloride.
What's that got to do with me?
Evencio told us that when someone tried to run her over,
the first attempt on her life,
she was blackmailing you.
So?
"So?"
You're now at the top of the list of potential suspects.
What's wrong, Montes?
My legs.
I can't feel my legs.
I can't feel my legs!
¡NO SIENTO MIS PIERNAS!
What the hell is wrong with my legs?
Why can't I feel my legs?
What the hell is wrong with my legs?
I can't feel my legs.
What the hell is wrong with my legs?
Why can't I feel my legs?
What's happening to me?
I can't feel my legs.
What's wrong? Say something!
Eva! Honey!
I can't feel my legs, honey. Am I paralyzed?
Is that it? Am I paralyzed?
Calm down.
Calm down? What's wrong with me?
-I don't know. -Why can't I feel my legs?
I don't know! Maybe it's temporary...
Temporary? Call a doctor.
-I'll get a doctor. -Do it now!
I'll go get the doctor.
This can't be! Damn it!
Calm down. It's probably temporary.
This can't be!
This can't be.
Where are the kids?
Why didn't Adriana and Luis join us for dinner?
They're going to spend a few days at Eva's.
Why is that?
If I'm here, they should spend time with me.
Of course.
But after what happened to Armando,
Eva needs a lot of emotional support.
She also needs someone to watch Fabiolita.
I see.
Of course.
Armando Montes was hurt, huh?
Yes.
How is he doing?
Well, it seems he's getting better,
but he's still a bastard.
He's just like... Robert.
They'll never stop being bastards.
That man was terrible to you.
That was awful.
You don't do that to someone, Cinthia.
You really don't.
If you want to cry, feel free to do so.
-I don't want to. -Sometimes you have to.
I don't want to cry.
In that case, let's drink.
Drinking lightens the mood.
Cheers.
- ¡CHIN, CHIN!
Say whatever you want, but we're the only Palacioses left.
As your older sister, I have to look after you and protect you.
Enough, Marlene!
I mean it.
Being a mother doesn't suit you.
You come across as pathetic.
Where are you going?
What do you care?
You can't go out.
I can't?
Watch me.
Follow him.
Keep your phone handy.
Let me know if he buys some of that crap again.
Please don't let me down, Rebeca.
Of course I won't, Marlene.
You're right.
Drinking does lighten the mood.
Of course I'm right.
Nothing in excess, though.
Can you believe Robert left me as if I meant nothing to him?
You know what?
I don't know what to say. Most men are bastards.
They're disloyal, treacherous, and selfish.
I didn't think Robert was like that.
He wasn't selfish.
Well, that's because you're like most women.
When it comes to love, we're very naïve.
What?
I don't feel any love towards him now.
I hate him.
That makes sense.
It's to be expected after what he did.
You know what?
I think women should come together,
especially if we've been abused by men.
Wouldn't you agree?
DEL ABUSO DE LOS HOMBRES. ¿NO TE PARECE?
Yes.
You're right.
I'm not referring to you, though.
I meant in general.
There are plenty of men that throughout history
have made women do terrible things
and then they bail on them.
They disappear and leave the women
to deal with the punishment and the guilt.
You're right.
The good thing is that he only abandoned you.
-That's all he did, right? -No!
No, that's not all.
-It isn't? -No!
I only feel hatred towards him.
I really want to get back at him.
That stupid bastard!
Moron!
Doctor, do whatever it takes, but help me walk again.
You have to be patient, pal.
Little by little.
LIfe passes you by little by little,
but I've got plenty to do.
And I want to do them on my own two feet, understand?
Of course I do.
That's why I'm here.
I have to run some tests.
If you'll excuse me, I have to examine the patient.
AHORA, SI ME DISCULPAN. VOY A EXAMINAR AL PACIENTE.
Eva...
Please stay with me.
It's a simple test.
We'll use a scale of one to ten
for you to tell me how strong the pain is.
Great.
-Understood? -Yes.
Start already, will you? What are you waiting for?
What?
