LADY ALTAGRACIA
The engineers in charge of the mall
suggested we build the parking lot here.
It's only a two-minute walk from the mall.
What?
What is it?
Is something the matter?
The investors believe your proposal
would inconvenience our patrons, Altagracia.
What would you have us do, pal?
Would you rather expropriate the tenement I represent?
You would be leaving some people homeless
so others won't have to walk two minutes to shop.
This could be settled in court, Counselor.
In court?
A trial your wife would preside over.
And with all due respect, Altagracia,
we know you have the media's support.
Doing that would make us look like squatters
and you as victims,
whose only goal is the wellbeing of the community.
That is the case.
Altagracia's love for Saul has weakened her.
She won't heed our counsel. He's turned her into an idiot.
I like to be on the winning side.
Believe me when I say that you can be the winner this time.
That is, if we aspire to the governorship or the presidency.
Altagracia has the power.
Some politicians and do-boys dance to the tune she plays.
You're aware of that.
Which side would you like to be on?
Do you want to dance to her tune
or do you want to run the show?
Read this.
It contains a strategy and media campaign plan
that will help clear your name.
We could build a tunnel from the parking lot to the mall.
A tunnel?
What about the pollution?
In order to build the tunnel
you'd have to cut down the trees in the area.
Trees provide shade.
Trees provide resistance against the wind,
they generate oxygen.
Aren't you worried about the environmental crisis
the city faces?
Are you willing to carry that on your conscience?
Why is someone as inept as Braulio representing us?
Saul Aguirre is far better.
I know.
Also, it seems Lady Altagracia has a new toy
that she wants all to herself.
Enough!
A decision has been made. This argument is over.
Everyone here invested a lot into this project.
I know that very well.
I understand your concern,
but we'll get our money back from other projects.
The suit against the tenement
has only brought us trouble and scandals.
We've obviously tried to keep everything under control.
By humiliating and unfairly incarcerating my father.
We made a mistake by filing a complaint
against the owner of the tenement.
Mr. Contreras hired a group to kick them out
and then he vanished.
Rep. Valenzuela claims someone signed to authorize
the expropriation of the tenement.
There's no point to fighting a losing battle.
The decision has been made, so I'd advice you to acquiesce.
Besides, I think it's the right thing to do.
At least promise me you'll think about it.
Excuse me.
I need to take this.
Hello?
It's all set.
Felipe's assistant gave me the information you needed.
Great. That's just what we needed.
Thank you.
Read it over, Felipe.
You should really review my proposal.
Look at the situation you find yourself in.
It's as if you've landed on a deserted island
after being lost at sea.
You're on your own and thirsty.
Who am I?
The captain of the ship that will save you.
Sometimes in life you have to get on the ship
even if you don't know where it's headed.
Think about it.
Hey, I didn't tip you.
Well, you don't have to. You only bought a drink.
I would've loved to try your food.
It's okay. Monica has some sandwiches.
Monica works with you?
Yes.
Are you close friends?
Yes, we live together.
Mago!
What?
Yesenia told me you lived at the Aguirre's tenement.
Yes, ma'am.
When we met, you were arguing with Yesenia at the hospital.
You won't get another word out of me.
Zip it! Let's go.
Now!
Ms. Regina, I've looking for you.
Lady Altagracia's meeting is over.
You know what, Tania? I need your help.
Do you have the address of the Aguirre's tenement?
You have to lie down. You're very tense.
I can't go to sleep after hearing you out.
You might not deserve it,
but I worry about you, Yesenia.
How did Braulio attack you?
Did he show up at your place?
Tell me.
Tell me or you can walk out of our lives forever.
Stop it...
Braulio found me near Altagracia's company.
What were you doing there?
I had nothing to do with that. It's not my fault.
I've been trying to change Monica's mind for days,
but she's very stubborn.
She's worried about money.
What are you talking about?
Monica is selling sandwiches at Altagracia's company.
What's wrong, Saul?
Why so serious if your parents are keeping the tenement?
Did you see how they were looking at me?
Your partners looked at me as if I were your trophy!
Yes!
They made me think you did all this to humor me.
Oh, please!
I couldn't care less about what they think.
They have no right to judge us.
Why do you say that?
Their lives are just as complicated as ours,
if not more.
The majority of the people in that meeting
might keep their ties straight and pretend to be upright,
but they use a website
that profits from people having affairs.
You monitor them?
I have screenshots of the meetings arranged on the site.
You can only join the site if you're married.
If they breathe a word about my life,
I'd have a lot to tell their wives or husbands.
You should know that hacking their computers is illegal.
Besides, that makes no difference.
They'll always see me as your lover and someone you favor.
Don't be so sexist, Saul. I'm protecting my workplace.
I know that!
This is where you work and I agreed to be discreet.
That's why I didn't attack some of the people at the meeting.
Altagracia, don't try me.
We shouldn't discuss this here. I'm leaving.
Check your phone because I'm going to send you a text
with the time and place of where I want us to meet.
See you there.
Of course Mr. Jaime would have you look into Lady Altagracia.
He insists she gave the order to have Saul shot.
I think it's odd Saul didn't offer a statement.
My bosses were not even interested in the case.
I think the higher-ups gave the order
to stop the investigation.
But I do know Saul is not interested in you.
He said he wasn't involved with any woman.
Again with that, Gabino?
You asked me to stop my advances
because you were in love.
But the guy's not even interested.
Damn it!
The price of the meds went up a lot!
I'm going to ask if they carry a generic brand.
Hey there! Hello.
Do you happen to have the generic brand of that?
I'm sorry, but we don't.
Really?
Do you offer a discount if I buy more than one bottle?
I could take several.
You get a 10% off on Thursdays.
Only then, though.
Really? Who came up with that?
What if I get sick on Monday?
Well, since you're so pretty,
I'll go check if we have something similar.
Really?
Oh, you're an angel! You're a Godsend!
Thank you!
Your beautiful smiled saved you.
-Be right back. -Thanks!
What a cool guy!
You never listen to me!
I told you I was leaving our son at my mother's
because I was going to eat with my cousins today.
I asked you to leave money
because I couldn't just show up and ask them to pay.
You couldn't even do that.
Well, I'm sorry. Here you go.
Please leave because the judge doesn't like it
when I tend to personal matters here.
That's it?
We're not going to a dive! We're going to a restaurant!
You can blow half of our budget on tequila,
but this is all you'll give me?
Good morning.
-Good morning, Your Honor! -Good morning, Your Honor!
I'm sorry for being here. We had a family emergency.
Eating out with your cousins is a family emergency?
Yes!
I'm dying to leave the house and have fun!
Without you, of course.
Why is that?
You could've used that money to go with me to the movies
or visit Chapultepec.
But no, you wanted to go out with your cousins
who can't stop badmouthing me.
You deserve it!
You're cheap!
You only care about the baby and saving money!
I know what you really enjoy.
You love fixing up the house and repairing the car.
Many women would kill to have a husband like me.
Who would want you and your dumb-looking face?
The only reason why I stick around
is because you're a freak in the sheets.
Lower your voice!
No, you lower your voice!
I've seen you close your eyes several times
while we make love.
I hope you're not thinking of another woman.
If you are, you'll see! You won't hear the end of it!
Stop it.
Please lower your voice.
Here.
Go and relax that crazy head of yours.
Go spend time with your cousins.
Talk all you want. Badmouth me all you want.
Just go. Please!
Look at that. We have it.
Really?
It's worth half of what that other one is worth.
Thanks very much.
Does it have the same effect?
Does it contain the same ingredients?
Try it and let me know.
Our number is printed on the receipt.
Sure.
My name is Raul.
You're awesome, Raul. Thanks very much.
You're a lifesaver. You're an angel!
There should be more people like you.
Do you normally work here? In case I need help.
I'm here everyday.
Great. Thank you!
Do you take the police officer's discount?
It'll be cheaper.
Thank you, Gabino.
In order to be able to use it, she'd have to be your wife?
Hold on. Do I look married to you?
No, we're just friends.
I can afford this. Don't worry.
Thank you, Raul.
Marta, please ring her up.
Thank you, Martita. How much is it?
250, please.
I have 100 here.
I'm going to go to the bathroom while you pay.
I'll wait for you here.
Didn't anyone teach you to respect another man's woman?
What? I didn't do anything!
You didn't? Look at me!
You were acting like a fool and telling her she was pretty.
"I can offer you a better price."
Is that why you didn't let me pay, you bastard?
I didn't know you were together!
She's not your wife.
Really? She's my woman, fool!
Don't just stand there. Help me pack Monica's things!
We need to get away from Altagracia.
Monica isn't a little girl anymore, Lazaro.
What are you going to tell her?
Any excuse will work! Monica can't stay here!
She can't work alongside Altagracia.
They have no idea they are related.
You have nothing to worry about.
I spent a lifetime hiding so I wouldn't risk it,
and I'm not about to start now.
With or without your help, Monica and I are leaving!
Good afternoon, ma'am.
Afternoon.
I'm looking for some young ladies who sell sandwiches.
Monica and Lydia?
Yes.
I spoke to Lydia, and we agreed to meet here.
I drove here, so I'm sure she hasn't arrived yet.
No. I haven't seen her walk by.
I'm in charge of the food
for an activity at my daughter's school,
and guess what?
You got sandwiches.
Those private schools are the worst, am I right?
Back when I was in school,
they would ask for lemonade, popcorn...
How could they ask for sandwiches?
That's too much.
Yes.
Hey, what about Monica?
Do you know where I could find her?
I have your name and number, idiot.
Raul, right?
I know you don't have cameras here, but you do outside.
Go on. I dare you to report me.
Let's see who gets the short end of the stick.
Wipe the blood off, you idiot.
I'm sorry. They were out of paper.
You take too long. Let's go.
Hide the bag.
I don't want Monica to see it until I tell her we're leaving.
That must be her.
No way! Monica has her keys.
No, her hands must be busy with a basket.
Don't say anything. Let me talk to her.
Don't worry.
I should tell you that Monica won't want to leave
just because you ask her to go.
She'll have to. I'm her father.
We're both very stubborn. She got that from me.
That much is true.
Lazaro?
Regina! How did you find this place?
I swear I didn't give her your address!
Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you.
Really.
LADY ALTAGRACIA
