FAKE IDENTITY
Marlene was here this afternoon.
She brought a check for a portion of what
Augusto had stolen from Eliseo and me.
I don't want that money.
It's yours to do with what you will.
I was madly in love with you.
You became your father.
Why don't you admit that you still like me?
That you still have feelings for me.
-To whom did you sell the house? -The mayor of Alamos, Sonora.
For once, I don't know how to protect you, how to save you.
They caught on to Isabel.
They know she's passing herself off as Camila Guevara.
On your toes, buddy. You've got to come back.
You have to convince everyone that Mr. Gavino
couldn't have killed Mr. Eliseo.
I proposed that he and I go far away together,
and do you know how he responded?
He said yes.
What's happening to my son is your fault!
How could what's happening to Porfirio be my fault?
I'll talk to that damn gringa, and I'll tell her
I'm the only one responsible for this mess.
FAKE IDENTITY
You will neither speak to nor confront that woman.
Why not?
You can't do that. Come on!
Why not?
What? And tell her the truth?
You think she'll be satisfied when she finds out the truth?
We took advantage of the situation
and stole her family members' identities!
Exactly!
I'll tell her I planned it all and to leave Isabel alone.
Then she'll want revenge, and do you know what will happen?
You'll go to prison for life!
It can't be for that long. I didn't kill that family.
You think she'll believe you?
Stop relying on your gut.
You have to keep a cool head about this.
A cool head, Salas? Please!
Isabel is in danger again because of me
when she hasn't done anything. How can I relax?
I know you love her,
but what you're talking about is suicide.
Let me keep an eye on Margot,
let me find out if she's got anything on you.
Give me some time. It's all I ask.
There is no time!
This ticking time bomb is going to explode.
-Time? -Give me time to look into it.
If I don't find anything, we'll do things your way.
Right now you have to convince Isabel to leave the city.
If you truly care about her and what happens to her,
convince her to leave.
I'll try, but I'm not making any promises.
I spoke to the doctor.
He said Porfirio's doing very poorly.
He needs a liver transplant as soon as possible,
and if he doesn't get it soon, there's a chance he could die.
Then he really is sick?
Why would I lie?
I've never once lied to you.
I don't believe it.
He's dying, so I wanted him to see his father
in case anything happened.
I know you two are close.
You'd love that, wouldn't you? So you could be rid of him.
Nothing would suit you better right now.
Rid myself of Porfirio? Are you crazy?
Why didn't you tell me sooner that he was sick?
Because you never believe what I say.
You think I want you here screaming in my face?
No.
I called you because he got really bad!
-I want to see him. -Of course.
-Where is he? -Room 302, down the hall.
Alright, I called you here because I need you to find
an old lady by the name of Margot Guevara.
She's a gringa, she's no spring chicken,
and she was last seen in Colonia Doctores,
which means she's staying in some cheap motel in the area.
Ask around... I don't need to tell you how to do your jobs.
What do we do if we find her?
Notify me immediately.
I have a business proposition for her.
Get cracking.
You heard her. Let's go.
What?
Circe's taking off and abandoning the business?
I told you!
This is about Diego.
She proposed that they go far away, and guess what!
He agreed!
What's going to happen to us? To the business?
Circe said you and I could manage it.
I'm sure the Colombians will be thrilled.
She's obsessed with Diego,
and it's keeping my girl from seeing her destiny.
I'll tell you what's going to happen.
Everything's going to ----,
and I don't need Tarot cards to tell you that!
That's why we have to put up a united front
and tell her that what she's going to do is madness!
Now? When she's a powerful badass?
She wants to throw it all away after all this cost her
blood, sweat, and tears!
-Settle down. -You and I must do something!
Calm down before you have a heart attack!
When you get like that, it's like you're the only one
that wants there to be a cartel.
Do you see yourself as a boss?
Ever since she was just a pup
she wanted to do what her daddy did.
It was always her dream, she's just forgotten it.
All I want is for her to be happy.
Then let her do whatever she wants.
Because even if your cards predicted the Apocalypse,
she wouldn't give a good -------.
I understand.
You're afraid of making the same mistake with Salas
that you made with Mr. Augusto.
Yes, that's part of it.
But Salas is a good person. He's not like your ex-husband.
Good morning. He's not like your ex-husband.
Why don't you give him a chance?
I know they're not the same, but...
Oh, I don't know.
The worst thing a person like you can do
is think that because you made a mistake once
it's no longer worth taking another chance.
And this is coming from me.
I've been a widow longer than I was married,
and you don't know how much I regret it.
Yes, the truth is that
every time I come home to the tenement at night,
I have no one to talk to or share my experiences with.
It's not easy, especially for a person like me
who was always surrounded by so many people.
Maybe you learned a thing or two with Mr. Augusto,
but let them go.
Take whatever you learned, keep moving forward,
and leave the doors to your heart open
so that love may enter it. You don't want to be alone.
It's not like that, Zoraida.
Look, if I'm being honest, I just don't feel attractive.
I feel weird every time Ignacio tells me I'm pretty.
I know, I know.
I'm sure it has to do with all the times
Augusto called me drab and dull.
I believed him, but...
I don't know, just the thought of something like that
happening again makes me panic.
No!
Don't let fear get the better of you.
Take a risk.
I've been alone a long time, and I'll tell you,
being alone is worse than that fear you have
of making another mistake.
Take a chance! It'll be fine.
If you say so, then it must be true.
Give yourself another chance. You won't be sorry.
Diego.
Good morning.
Hi.
Zoraida, I thought I'd find you here.
I need to speak to Isabel.
Know where I can find her?
Just look at what they've done to you.
If I'd believed you were sick...
But all I could do was talk crap.
Dad.
Hey, son.
I'm here.
I'm glad you're here,
though I wish I didn't have to be this sick.
You should've listened to me.
I told you to stop drinking,
to stop chasing after that damn broad.
But no, you just had to do what you wanted, and look at you.
It's not Chabela's fault, Dad.
Of course it's her fault!
Things have gone bad for you ever since you met that woman.
You wouldn't stop drinking, you didn't eat or sleep.
Now, the bill has come due for you,
and what a price you're paying.
Stop it, Dad.
I don't want to fight with you, much less Chabela.
I've got one foot in the grave already.
I'm dying, and all you can do is scold me.
I work inside, but I have to change these.
We have a different menu today.
Here's the address of the hospital Corona was admitted to.
I'm sure you'll find Isabel there.
All she does is go from work to the hospital and back.
She barely even comes home.
I heard the silly girl went back to work at Babel.
She had no choice.
She needs the money for Corona's transplant.
We can calmly discuss that some other time.
Fine.
-Have a nice day. -Be very careful.
-Thanks, Zoraida. -God bless you.
Goodbye.
Well? We getting out of here?
You bring my share of the money?
I did. Why do you want it?
I've got something to do. I'll fill you in on the way.
What now?
I got it. You want to stay here.
But I brought you some money for your expenses.
Thanks very much, Marlene, but I can't take it.
I'm going to work.
What about school?
Are you going to drop out and end up working at a call center
or waiting tables at a restaurant?
What about everything we've sacrificed
so you could go to school?
I'll continue to go to school, and I'll also work.
I'll do both, like many other people do.
If they manage, why can't I?
I'm not saying you can't, I'm saying you don't have to.
I said no.
Why not?
You think it's Augusto's? It's not.
It's my money that I earned working hard.
Anyway, I returned all the money to Fernanda
that Augusto had deposited into my account.
Every penny.
-Really? -Yes.
It was her money, I couldn't keep it.
That's great. I'm so happy.
Please take it.
Please take the money.
You'll have plenty of time to work
after you finish school and get your degree.
Please.
Okay, fine.
Just so I don't have to ask Chucho for money.
Hey, is that woman his mother?
Yes.
Are they indigenous,
or does she dress like that because she likes it?
They're like the rest of us.
I just want to understand why Chucho never got the chance
to go to school.
Stop.
I won't let you badmouth Chucho or his mother.
They're good people.
Relax, alright? I'm not badmouthing them.
And I have no doubt they're good people.
Diana...
I just want you to open your eyes
and realize Chucho and you aren't the same.
Marlene, that was a classist and racist comment.
We're doing well.
We have our second hearing today,
from which we'll emerge in great shape.
The one problem that remains is the murder charge.
Don't worry.
Augusto turned up,
and it appears he wants to cooperate with us.
The only bad thing is he was shot
when he tried to escape with Joselito.
You're going to have to visit the capital.
I believe we can use him getting shot in our favor.
We'll say Joselito did it to get rid of Augusto.
Which is what happened.
Joselito is the real murderer.
Well, now that Joselito is missing
and you won't finger the mayor's real killer,
we'll have to saddle Jose with this gift from heaven too.
Alright.
See you soon.
Today is Gavino's second hearing.
What have you heard?
There's heat all around you, Jose.
Gavino denied any knowledge of drug trafficking
and says you were the leader.
All you did was tarnish his name.
It's going to be even harder for you to come back.
Relax, Topo.
No matter what that dude does, he's not getting out of prison.
Even if I have to bribe the prison janitor to kill him,
that guy ain't getting out, got it?
So we'll wait and see.
Don't worry, the hospital offers different kinds of help
and support programs for patients.
-Isabel. -I'll look into it.
Hi.
Sorry, Doctor.
Don't worry. We'll be in touch.
Goodbye.
What are you doing here?
