LADY ALTAGRACIA
I want you to find Miguel Preciado
and bring him here.
Make sure no one sees him with you.
-Monica. -Yes, Dad?
-Your cell phone. -Oh!
Thanks. Bye, Dad!
Dad?
Talk!
We argued.
What else happened?
I kissed her.
Am I or am I not the person you're looking for?
It's definitely you.
My life won't make any sense
until I get revenge on every single one of them.
If you want to sell anything here again,
you have to work for me and sell my merch.
And what's that?
If you don't, you'll have to talk to my friend.
Are you going to sell contraband?
I'll do anything for my dad.
I have no doubt about it.
Miguel Preciado is one of the murderers
who ruined our lives.
Mom?
Where's Ximena?
She didn't come back with you?
Is she okay?
Where's she staying? I need to talk to her.
Calm down, Saul.
She doesn't want to see you.
She wants to be alone so she can think.
And with good reason.
She told you.
That you're getting involved with Altagracia Sandoval?
The woman who sent your father to jail
and is trying to kick us out
so she can build a parking garage?
-I can explain. -I don't want to hear it.
Your father's right.
She's a man-eater,
and she's already got you under her spell.
You need to get away from her.
I needed to see you this early
because I need you to work on a media campaign.
What's all this?
Petitions that Felipe passed around to his friends,
his closest friends in government.
Felipe is requesting that the DA expropriate the land
where the tenement where the Aguirres live is located?
He agrees to that?
Do you not see his signature?
That land can be expropriated for social reasons.
A shopping mall would increase the employment rate
in that neighborhood.
This is a great opportunity for the community,
an opportunity Felipe is willing to fight for.
You never cease to amaze me, Altagracia.
I'm sorry. I have to get this.
I'm going to take a copy of this
so I can start working on a media campaign
in support of this project.
Perfect.
-I'll leave you. -Thank you.
How's it going?
This idiot doesn't want to come with me.
What do I do?
Put him on the phone.
Mr. Preciado, Lady Altagracia wants to speak with you.
Hello, my lady. Good morning.
Mr. Preciado, my lawyer just informed me
you won't be able to come today.
That's right.
I have some matters to tend to today.
I don't have a change of clothes
or my bags packed right now.
What I had in mind didn't require a lot of clothes.
What?
I mean that you don't need to pack a bag.
I only want to sign off on certain deals with you.
We're talking about a lot of money here.
I promise you'll be back in Veracruz today.
In that case,
I think I can cancel all of my affairs today.
Hey! You're being rash.
Selling contraband is too dangerous.
I already thought about it,
and I don't have another choice.
I'm going to ask the lady who threatened us
how I can make some fast cash.
Then I'll go with you.
-No. -Why not?
Because if I'm going to get myself in trouble,
I'll do it on my own.
You've already done a lot for me.
Thank you.
What are you doing back here again, Lady Altagracia?
That's the first time you call me that.
Isn't that what everyone calls you?
Not your boyfriend.
He always calls me "my lady."
Sorry. I had to do that.
There was no waking you up.
What the...?
You can't go on like this. This is enough.
-Stop yelling. -I'm not yelling.
You didn't go to work yesterday.
Are you not going today either?
I have a killer headache.
What happened?
Altagracia and I were in here last night.
Where is she?
She left to the office early today.
You need to go to work too,
so get up, go shower and go to work.
Come on. Let's go.
-Wait... -No.
You're pulling my shirt. Wait.
You're a politician.
You can't keep neglecting your post like this.
Come on. I'll help you.
Would you like some coffee?
We've known each other for so long.
You're not just my landlord, you're my friend.
I don't have time. I'm here for the rent.
Have a seat though.
Want me to read your cards?
Maybe that'll get me a discount.
I could give you a weekly reading worth...
I'm not interested in witchcraft.
I just want my money.
Want to take the TV? It's in good condition.
That doesn't cover all the money you owe me.
Please don't be like that. Give me more time.
You know my husband died.
He used to help with the bills.
I have a long line of people interested in this apartment.
Give me one more chance. Please.
I promise I'll pay you everything I owe you.
In fact, I'll have the money today.
I promise.
Hey, Saul!
What's with the face?
Didn't you get any sleep last night?
You look like you haven't slept at all.
I know.
It was probably because of that huge fight you had with-
Do you know where Monica is?
I promised to help her with the food vendor permit.
Nope. I don't know.
I have to go though. I'm running late.
No, wait a second.
What do you mean you don't know?
Don't you live with her?
Why isn't she going to work with you today?
I don't know.
Do we have to be together all the time or something?
Besides, she doesn't need anybody to protect her.
Wait.
Why would she need someone to protect her?
When I left to Veracruz,
she was very worried about her dad,
and yesterday you said you needed a favor for Monica
and you seemed very worried.
Does that favor have to do with the permit,
or is it something else?
Everyone needs to have one of these inflatables.
and hang out at traffic lights.
Each one costs 50 pesos, and you'll sell them for 10 pesos.
10 pesos? That price is too low!
Deputy...
Hi.
Is that all you're going to sell?
I'll have to sell a bunch of those
in order to make all the money I need.
Brand name perfumes, form a separate line.
She's new here.
It's not fair that she gets any merchandise.
Be quiet.
We're going to work these goods from low to high.
It's all contraband.
If you want to make more money, the last truck is the best.
What's in the last truck?
Computers, TVs and cell phones.
Where do you get this stuff from?
From people we tell, "Hands up!"
You mean it's stolen?
I need you to take me the hacienda
and then I want you to leave until I call you.
Excuse me.
A young woman is here and insists on speaking with you.
Her name is Ximena Urdaneta.
I was leaving, but have her come in.
Please leave us alone. Thank you, Matamoros.
This is quite a surprise.
You know exactly why I'm here.
Saul told me everything that happened.
Everything?
I'm not surprised he told you,
but I'm surprised you actually came to my office,
to my territory, to talk to me.
I don't know where Monica is.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go work.
Yesterday you said Monica needed my help,
and right now you seem very nervous.
Just look at you. You're hiding something from me.
If Monica is in any danger, you need to tell me.
She's your best friend.
If something happens to her, you're going to feel guilty.
She doesn't know this city.
Stop. I get it.
I'll tell you...
She went to go see some people who deal in contraband.
They offered her work.
Contraband?
Monica isn't a criminal, but try to understand.
She needs a lot of money for her dad's treatment.
It's expensive.
The police won't care about that when they arrest her.
Where is she?
I get that you tell me what I have to sell,
but I thought it was only contraband stuff,
not stolen goods.
People will buy anything from pretty girls like you.
I have seven of those new generation cell phones.
I'll give you 100 pesos for each one.
100 pesos?
That's almost 1,000 pesos in one day!
Really?
That's a whole lot of money.
Let go of me! Altagracia!
What's that screaming?
Stop hiding and come out, Altagracia!
It's for your own good!
Listen to me, will you?
Altagracia!
Let go of me, you idiots!
You don't know who I am!
I don't believe it... it's Aunt Yesenia.
All that for just seven cell phones?
Of course. They're stolen, that's why.
Deputy, are you really going to give the new girl a chance?
You're asking for trouble.
I don't have time
to explain anything or convince you.
What happens if I run into someone
looking for their cell phone?
What do I tell them?
Those cell phones have a locating feature.
Listen, kid, people who really need the work
don't ask so many questions.
Did someone send you to ask all these questions?
Probably the people from the other street.
No, nobody sent me. I came because I wanted to.
You know what? This is too complicated.
I'm not doing this. See ya.
Hey! What are you doing?
Let go of me!
If the other vendors don't want me here, why do you?
You know too much already. It's too late to go back.
Let go of me, you idiots!
What are you doing here?
I haven't seen you in such a long time.
What do you want?
I came the other day. Didn't your sister tell you?
Whatever Altagracia and I talk about is our business.
Stop looking at me like that. I'm not a ghost.
I didn't die,
but I'm sure you two wanted me to after you kicked me out.
You damn traitors!
Miss, Lady Altagracia said not to let her on the property.
She said for us to call the police if she returned.
Which we'll do if she doesn't want to listen,
but I need a few minutes with her.
Let her go, please.
Let go of me already.
If Altagracia didn't want to speak with you
when you first came, why are you here again?
You should leave. Her husband is inside.
Good!
That way I'll scream louder,
so he can find out about everything you and me know!
Starting with your sister's past.
Do you want me to yell louder so you can hear me?
Stop!
Saul told me what happened between you two meant nothing,
so don't even think I'm going to break up with him-
Please, Ximena.
Don't be so pathetic as to come here and fight over a man.
I know you're a smart, educated and classy woman
with a lot of aspirations,
but you won't accomplish anything by Saul's side.
Please tell the accountant I need a briefcase with cash.
I heard you arguing with Saul at the hospital the other day.
You were saying you were tired of living in his shadow
and that you haven't been able to grow in your field.
I'm sure you're fed up of living in that tenement.
Trust me. I understand.
We're both independent and ambitious women
who don't need men to grow.
That makes me want to offer you an executive job
at one of my offices in Europe.
Come in.
Thank you very much.
All of this money is so you can start living
the life you deserve... far away from here.
You're trying to buy me so I can leave Saul.
Saul clipped your wings.
What I'm offering you is a unique opportunity
so you can finally soar.
You can take it or leave it.
Can we talk or should I scream everything I know?
Please stop!
You know I love making a scene.
Could you please leave us alone for one minute?
-Okay. -Thank you.
I don't know what you want
or what you're trying to get from us, but please leave.
Honey, I thought you were different
from your ungrateful sister
and that you'd be happy to see me after so many years,
but no.
Instead you greet me like I'm some leper.
What was I supposed to do?
Thank you for taking advantage of my sister
when she was a kid?
Watch your damn tone!
Regina, is everything okay? Who is this lady?
LADY ALTAGRACIA
