LADY ALTAGRACIA
Rafael!
Are you alive?
What'd you do to him?
Why did you beat him?
Rafael.
Get up.
-Come on. -Altagracia?
Yes, it's me.
What am I doing here?
What's going on? Why are you chained up?
Because I was kidnapped.
Me too.
They asked me about you and about your past.
They're desperate.
They'll do anything.
What do they want?
Tell me, Altagracia.
One of them is the boss.
Why'd they do this to me?
They're scrambling.
You have nothing to do with this or those bastards.
I'm sorry, Rafael. This is my fault.
Isabela, what's wrong?
You got pale when I asked you if you liked Diego.
Nothing's wrong. I didn't have breakfast.
Don't lie to me.
I've known you since you were this small.
I know something's up.
I don't know what,
but I know it has to do with Diego.
It's just that I didn't know Diego liked me.
He never said anything.
I always thought he was with you to please Braulio.
He was very hard on Diego.
He always wanted to force Diego and you to be together.
Really?
Braulio has a very bad temper.
Yes, I know, but...
I'm back.
Home sweet home.
I said I'd be back soon, and here I am.
Unbelievable! I can't be this stupid!
She did this! It had to be her.
Whoa!
What is the matter?
They'll drive you crazy.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about Monica and Altagracia.
Yesterday you didn't know who to pick.
Don't tell me you chose Altagracia...
Don't even mention her!
I thought she'd stay out of it,
but she ended up helping that criminal!
Who are you talking about? What happened?
Braulio! Who else?
I thought she wouldn't help him, but she did!
She helped him!
What'd she help him with?
Hello! Wake up!
She got him released!
He'll remain free until his trial!
Valeria.
Let's go to my place.
I'll buy all your sandwiches
so Margarita doesn't have to stay here by herself.
You in?
Are you insane? I won't let you do that.
Why do you want to go there?
Don't get any ideas.
I wasn't. I wouldn't mind though.
Diego, we're not having sex at your house.
That's not what I meant.
Since my dad isn't home,
I want to show you where I live.
That way you and my mom can get to know each other.
Your mom and me?
Yeah, the other day I saw you two talking
and you seemed okay,
unless she said something that bothered you.
No, she didn't say anything.
Then come
I've been to your place a bunch of times.
I've proven that I care about you.
It's only fair.
-No, Diego. -Why not?
Lydia, just go with him.
I'll do better without you.
Oh, really?
All that mushiness is driving my customers away.
Sure thing.
-Let's go. -Don't make him beg.
I'm watching you. You'd better sell everything.
-Relax. -"I'll do better without you."
It's nice to see you, Isabela.
I'm sure you're here to see Diego.
I'm waiting for him.
Valeria and I were talking in the meantime.
Good.
I'm glad you and Diego are still friends,
even though I was disappointed
when you lied about being together.
Braulio, don't be rude.
Leave her alone. She's waiting for Diego.
Thanks, but...
Don't worry. You don't have to explain.
I always say nothing is written in stone.
Valeria and I will always root for you and Diego.
I mean it.
Right, honey?
If you don't want to wait for Diego,
I'll give you a lift to your aunt's.
You're going to my Aunt's?
Yes, we need to talk about work.
She went on a trip.
What do you mean? Where'd she go?
I don't know.
No one knows where or for how long.
I don't understand.
Altagracia didn't tell me.
She didn't tell me either. I'm living with my mom now.
What?
You're living with Felipe and Regina?
And she agreed to it?
You should be asking Altagracia these questions.
Why would she know about any of this?
My aunt's been very strange.
She didn't call when she found out I left.
I haven't heard from her.
How'd you find out about her trip?
She called my mom, but she didn't say goodbye.
She doesn't care about me.
Don't say that. Your aunt loves you.
Trust me.
It is strange that she left without telling anyone
and that she didn't object to your moving out.
It's very strange.
I'm going to talk to her.
Braulio.
Braulio!
It all happened very fast.
They intercepted my car,
pointed guns at me and forced me to get out.
They covered my head and threatened to kill me.
They beat me.
Did they say what they wanted?
They wanted me to tell them what I know about your past...
but I didn't understand.
Did they ask you anything else?
They asked if I knew anything about a gang of rapists
and killers from Veracruz.
What do you know about that?
Me?
I don't know what they were talking about,
but they were very insistent.
They kept talking about some revenge.
I don't understand what's going on.
Altagracia, what do they want?
They want to kill me.
Why?
Because I know terrible things about them.
I'm only alive
because they don't know if anyone else knows.
Come in.
Are you sure this was a good idea?
Don't worry. My dad's not here.
I feel very shy..
Don't worry. Everything will be okay.
Diego!
Dad...
Calm down.
I won't.
-Where are you going? -Let go!
-Get out of my way! -I won't!
You're staying. Where do you think you're going?
What do you mean?
I have to stop Braulio.
He'll go home and Valeria's there!
Valeria's pregnant. He won't hurt her.
He doesn't have to hit her to hurt her.
He's a psychopath!
Do you even have a plan? What will you do?
Burst in and say,
"Stand back! I'm your wife's lover!"
Is that it?
I can't let him hurt the woman I love.
Calm down. You have to act smart.
Meaning what?
Wait until something happens?
No, but we can work together as attorneys
and find a way to send him to prison.
That's where he belongs.
Okay?
You dumped Isabela for her?
I didn't dump anyone!
Isabela and I never dated. Lydia is...
Don't worry. I know who she is.
This is the gold-digging sandwich vendor
who was involved in Emiliano's case.
She faked...
Hey, don't you dare!
What?
You couldn't get anything out of the Cabrals,
so now you're coming after my son?
Braulio, calm down.
What are you even doing here?
How'd you get out?
I was released because I'm innocent.
You're my son. How can you doubt me?
Jaime Aguirre's death was an accident.
-The other day you were... -Be quiet!
Did you want me to stay in prison?
Yes, you want to keep my money,
especially since your mother let's you do as you please
so you can keep screwing up with this riffraff!
If they came after me...
...they'll come after Braulio and Matamoros next.
Do they know?
Matamoros is here, somewhere inside the house.
They cut off his fingers.
Bastards.
So those men are serious.
What about Braulio?
Does he know?
Let's not talk about it.
These people could've bugged this place.
Or maybe there are cameras.
No...
I don't think so.
The guy in charge said this was unplanned.
They didn't plan to kidnap you.
What else did you hear them say?
I heard them mention the name of the gang
they're inquiring about.
He called them Monkeys.
Who are they, Altagracia?
I've put up with your insults and your beatings for years.
It's always been your way or the highway,
but not this time!
Then whose way will it be? Yours?
Braulio, please listen to him.
I know she's not who you want me to be with,
but I love her and I won't let you disrespect her.
Thanks, but I don't need your protection.
I can defend myself. I've been around the block.
That much is obvious.
Braulio, please calm down. You'll make things worse.
You knew about this and you didn't tell me.
You knew our son was fooling around with this bitch!
Shut up!
Lydia's not a...
Say it!
Say the word! Come on!
Use whatever word you want: tramp, hooker...
How'd you convince him to stand up to me?
You probably promised him sex,
and that's why he's crazy about you.
Lydia's not a slut.
You may be my father, but if you insult her again,
you and I are done!
Understood?
I'll do anything and fight anyone for her.
-Even you! -You're a...
Don't! Please stop!
Mr. Lazaro Hernandez is my patient.
As you can see in this form,
he meets all the requirements
to participate in the clinical study.
He even signed the consent form.
It's there.
Alright, Doctor.
I can get this to the person in charge.
Thanks.
Actually, I'd like to talk to the person in charge.
I'd like to explain the case personally.
I'm sorry, but Dr. Mijares is in a meeting right now.
Okay.
-We can wait, right? -Yes.
We'll wait.
I didn't cancel an appointment
so I could hand this in and it be filed...
Why don't you go get coffee?
She looks like she likes cappuccinos.
Cappuccino?
I'll be back.
Forgive him.
He's just very passionate about his work.
He's a very serious and professional doctor.
Just between us girls...
he was very taken with you when he saw you.
-He was? -Yeah.
He seemed upset.
That's just the way he looks.
He's a very serious guy.
Don't mind him. Here's the deal.
He said you're pretty and that he likes your eyes.
-Really? -Yeah.
He's not married, but he's a special guy.
Trust me.
But who knows?
I could give you his number
and you two might hit it off.
So he's single?
Yes, and you must be too. You don't have a ring.
I'm just guessing.
Your coffee, miss.
Thanks, Doctor. You're very nice.
Um... wait here.
I'll try to convince Dr. Mijares to see you.
-I'll be back. -Thanks.
Great gal.
What'd you say to convince her?
Stick with me and you'll go places.
Good job.
What if Altagracia discovers Rafael?
What if she realizes it's a trap?
Will you calm down?
Your guilty conscience got us into this mess.
Altagracia doesn't know Rafael was a Monkey,
and if she does, then let her confront him.
Rafael will come back and tell us.
Are you sure no one can hear us here?
We can't hear them and they can't hear us.
We just have to be patient.
Making her think Rafael's our prisoner was a good idea.
If Rafael can't get her to talk, no one can.
Once she talks,
the very man she trusted will kill her.
That should be a good lesson for Altagracia.
It'll be her last.
