- Let's see what fate has in store for me tomorrow.
- We make our own fate.
- By the way, you haven't told me
about your visit to Sara Elizondo's hacienda.
- Why must you ask stupid questions?
If you didn't see me come back with Muriel,
I obviously didn't get what I wanted.
- Were you with the twins last night?
- No, they don't want to be with me.
They didn't accept my help and they don't want to see me.
I don't want to see them either.
- He's never going to leave a fine woman like Jimena.
- He'll leave her.
I'm going to make sure he does.
- I heard you were at my house and that you met Jimena.
Did you tell her I was your dad?
- No, sir.
- I have to tell you something very bad.
- What? - What do you by that?
- It's about what happened.
[¶¶¶]
- Berta, relax. What happened?
- Someone was there.
- Ladies, please don't make her talk too much.
She's not well and is easily agitated.
- Sorry, Doctor.
- I'll give you information about her condition.
- Yes, of course. - Relax.
[¶¶¶]
- Only I can protect you.
No one else loves you...
or worries about you.
That's why you have to do everything I say
and never question me.
A mother is never to be questioned.
Duvan, very bad things might happen in the next few days,
but they're inevitable and you can't feel bad because of it.
- What bad things, Mom?
- I told you not to ask questions.
In fact, you'll be the one answering all the questions.
- Who will ask me questions?
- I don't know,
but in any case, you'll only answer what I tell you, okay?
Handsome boy.
I'm going out.
I'll be a while and I don't know when I'm coming back.
If anyone asks you where I am,
you'll say I never left the house
and that I've been here all day, okay?
- Yes, ma'am. - Atta boy!
Repeat what I just said.
- If anyone asks for you, you haven't left the house all day.
- That's my baby!
Oh, one more thing.
You can say I've been sick in bed all day.
Now go eat.
[¶¶¶]
- I'm a disgusting wretch, huh?
Well, I'll show you.
You're going to lose her.
It's now or never.
[¶¶¶]
Oscar: Yes, Orlando.
I wasn't feeling well,
so I asked Jimena to go to the office.
I'm fine, I'm fine. We'll talk later.
I'm fine, man.
[¶¶¶]
[Panting]
[¶¶¶]
- Hi, honey.
- Hello, sweetheart.
How are you?
- Fine. How was your day?
- Fine. I've been here at home trying to rest.
- Cosme said you went out.
- Yes, I went out for a stroll. How are things at the office?
- Good. I was working on the runway show.
Everything's fine. [Doorbell rings]
I also visited Berta at the hospital.
- How's she doing?
- So-so.
I hope she gets well soon.
- I really miss her. - Yeah.
- Jimena, honey...
I need to talk to you about some things.
- Of course, tell me. - Some important things...
- Sorry to interrupt. You have visitors.
- Visitors?
Who?
- Your mother. She's here with a man.
- A man? What man?
- Tell her to come in. I'll be right out.
Thank you.
Are you coming? - No, not right now.
Apologize to your mother for me. I'm going to stay in my room.
I don't feel like seeing anyone or doing anything.
We'll talk later.
- Okay.
I'll be right back. - Wait.
Come here.
[¶¶¶]
- I love you.
- I love you too.
[¶¶¶]
- The two of you disappeared last night.
Care to tell me where you were?
Why didn't you come home for dinner?
- The owner of a travel agency invited us out.
- He wants to rent out some horses for his tourism agency.
- Very nice.
- You disappeared too.
Where were you?
- I didn't disappear. I went to the hospital.
I went with Jimena to see Berta.
- How is she? Was it a very bad accident?
- She's unwell.
She has a lot of injuries.
It was hard.
- You're all finally here.
Norma: Yes.
- Grandpa was worried sick about you two last night.
- We know, Dad.
We were with him until late, taking care of him.
- I'm so glad you're all here.
I'll serve dinner. It's ready.
- Thank you, Quintina.
- No, Quintina, only serve them, please.
I'm having dinner at Aunt Sara's house with Muriel.
- Oh no. That explains that ear-to-ear smile.
Enjoy your night, sir.
- Thank you.
[¶¶¶]
- What a surprise to have you here. Demetrio, how are you?
- How are you? - How's it going?
Mom!
I love you so much. I'm so glad you're here.
- I love you too, sweetie.
As usual, I'm the last to hear anything.
I didn't know Berta was in the hospital.
- Yes, I visited her at the hospital today
and she's doing terribly.
- I'm very sorry, Jimena.
From what I know, this woman has worked for you forever.
She's like family.
- Yes, that's true.
- How's Oscar? Is he at the boutique?
- No, he's in his room.
He's a little under the weather.
He excused himself.
- Oh no, sweetie. We won't be long then.
You should be with Oscar.
- No, stay for a while.
We'll have something to drink or eat. Sit down, please.
Natalia. - Yes, ma'am?
- Would you please tell Calixta
to make us something to eat, please.
- Of course. - Thank you so much.
- Jimena, what a spectacular home!
I love it. - Thank you.
- Plus, it's very peaceful here.
- Yes, I love it.
And, yes, it is very peaceful. Almost always.

- Are you still staying at my mother's house?
- I'll be leaving soon.
We're finally finishing the construction at my house.
I'm just sad about leaving Gabriela.
- Oh, Demetrio, I'm going to miss you a lot too.
I'd already gotten used to your company.
- So had I but let me get back to work, let me make some money.
You can't support me forever.
[¶¶¶]
- Is your house in San Marcos big?
- Very big, yes.
Well, not as big as yours.
That's why I wanted to see the garden and its exteriors.
They seem spectacular!
[¶¶¶]
Think we can go see the garden and the property?
They look incredible.
- Cosme's not here. He left early today.
Otherwise, it would've been great to go horseback riding.
- Oh.
- But if you'd like, we can see everything from here.
- Yes, let's do that. Would you like to?
- Yes, of course. I'm coming.
- Wow, look at this piano!
It's German, isn't it?
My mother had one at one of her haciendas.
Jimena: Really?
Gabriela: Would you please serve us outside?
We want some fresh air.
- Yes, ma'am. - Thank you.
Oscar: What's wrong with thinking of a vacation
and unplugging for a bit? What's so crazy about it?
- We have to fulfill all our duties at the boutique first,
wait for Berta to get better,
resolve the issue with the people at the millhouse.
- That again? You love to torment me with that!
You're always talking about the same thing. Enough!

[Gunshot]
[Thud]
Jimena: Mom! Demetrio: Gabriela!
[¶¶¶]
- Mom!
Maid: Someone's shooting! Dear God!
Ms. Gabriela! What happened?
- Bring something to stop the bleeding, please!
Maid: Mr. Oscar! Oscar: What was that?
Maid: Someone fired a shot! - Oscar, someone killed my mom!
- Someone shot her,
but I don't know why or where they came from.
- What do you mean someone shot her?
Maid: I'll get some water. - Hand me that rag.
[¶¶¶]
- Call an ambulance, hurry.
Jimena: Mom!
Oscar: Coward!
Show yourself!
[¶¶¶]
- They're back again.
These vultures are furious.
They want to pluck our eyes out.
They'll destroy us. They're attacking.
They're attacking!
- Grandpa's schedule is always the opposite of ours.
I doubt he'll be able to have dinner with us.
- He sleeps all day and wakes up late at night
to ask everyone in the house for food.
- I haven't slept a wink.
- At least we have him here and we can take care of him.
I think that's more important.
[Cell phone rings]
Hello.
Jimena...
What? What happened?
- What's wrong, sweetie?
[¶¶¶]
What happened? Leon: Mom, what's wrong?
- Someone shot...
Someone shot...
- Who, honey?
- My mother!
Jimena said she's dying, Juan.
[¶¶¶]
[Cell phone rings]
- Hello. Hi, Jimena, how are you?
What did you just say?
That can't...
That can't be!
- That can't be! We're on our way now, okay?
- What happened?
- Someone shot my grandmother at Aunt Jimena's house
or something like that. No, you're not going anywhere.
You're staying here with Muriel.
You can't drive like this. I'll find out what's going on.
- Where are my car keys? I'm going.
- Mom, you can't.
- Get out of my way! I'm going!
- Fine, but I'll drive. Give me the keys.
