LADY ALTAGRACIA
I want you to be with me during my last days.
Don't think about that.
You have to do something, Ximena.
I think you can win Saul back.
I never felt for Altagracia the way I feel now.
I can't live like this anymore.
I'm tired of being indebted to you.
What you're doing is a crime you may pay dearly for.
Search this truck. Open it!
Monica...
this is for you.
Thank you, Adolfo.
I figured you haven't eaten.
How do you feel?
How do you think?
Awful, to be honest.
Just think about it.
My best friend, my sister...
It's terrible to think that Lydia might never wake up.
It's crushing.
I don't understand life.
Why do bad things always happen to good people?
We doctors always ask ourselves the same thing.
What matters now is that Lydia has someone
who cares about her the way you do.
She's earned it,
and not just with me, with everyone.
She's just the type of person who'd stop at nothing
to help those around her.
Just like you. Don't you think so?
You're also a very special person.
You've got a huge heart.
You care so much about Lydia, your dad... and Saul Aguirre.
I know.
You saw me kissing him the other day
while he was asleep.
Yeah.
Do you still feel the same way about him?
Truthfully, yes.
But you can't force that kind of thing, right?
That's life.
People don't always love you back.
It's messed up.
No wonder people say what's meant to be will be.
Oh, well.
Cheers.
We just confirmed the arrest
of Colonel Alejandro Cespedes.
Perfect, Colonel.
You're exactly where I wanted you.
Bastard.
You look so afraid.
You deserve that and worse.
This is just the beginning, Colonel.
Who is it?
It's me, son!
Hi, Saul. How are you?
Come in.
You came home late last night and I couldn't talk to you
about something very important.
What happened?
-Would you like some coffee? -No, thanks.
Lady Altagracia sent one of her thugs here to the tenement.
Are you sure? Maybe you're confused.
Of course I'm sure.
I recognized him.
I know exactly who all those guys are.
Lady Altagracia is up to something.
That's why she sent that guy here.
Monica!
Just a sec.
Monica, hi.
Hi, Adolfo.
Are you going to keep sleeping here
until Lydia wakes up?
You must be in pain.
You spent all night in a chair.
I'm used to it.
Actually, Magda is coming to relieve me.
I have to go to work.
-To work? -Yes.
No, Monica, you need to rest.
It'll take a toll on your body later.
I know, but I have no choice.
If I don't work, I don't eat.
That's life for street vendors.
I was just heading out. I can give you a lift.
-Really? -Sure, what do you say?
Yeah!
Great.
Thanks.
I'll be back.
-How's your dad? -Good.
Yesenia's taking care of him.
He has his moments, but he's good.
Good morning, gardenia.
Gardenia?
My name's Yesenia.
I know that.
Your hair smells like that flower.
We didn't make love, but the smell of your hair
is all over my bed and my skin.
You're so sweet, Lazaro.
The things you say...
They're indescribable.
You hugged me so tight that I was scared to wake you.
I could feel your body heat all night long.
I hadn't felt that in so long.
I'm taking advantage.
That's how I hug my pillow when I sleep alone.
It's been so long since I'd slept next to someone.
I always wake up alone.
Well, not anymore.
I'm going to leave before Monica gets back.
My stuff is all over the place.
You know, Lazaro, it'd be nice if we told her
that you and me are going to be together.
Don't you think? Let's do things the right way.
Off I go.
Did you talk to the guy? What'd he say?
Oh, sure.
What's he going to say? That Lady Altagracia sent him?
He was very arrogant and pulled a gun on me.
Luckily, all the neighbors came out
and he had no choice but to leave.
Why would Altagracia send one of her thugs
if she's no longer interested in the tenement?
Like your grandfather used to say,
"Where there's smoke, there's fire."
I doubt she truly lost interest in the tenement.
She still wants this land.
That's why she sent that guy to investigate
or do who knows what.
She can't be held responsible for all her employees.
I mean, maybe the guy came on his own.
The construction site is across the street.
Oh, sure, he came so say hi.
Sorry, Saul, but I'm convinced
that Altagracia Sandoval was the one who sent that guy here.
Estela, is this all for today?
Yes.
Meeting with the VP...
Great, set it for this afternoon.
Good morning.
Good morning, Regina.
Could you leave us alone, please?
We had a big argument yesterday.
Sometimes it's necessary.
Maybe you wanted me to reach out to you to talk,
but I had a lot to do.
I'm not asking.
You're free to do whatever you want, Regina.
That's strange.
You always want to know everything I do.
What is it?
Yesterday you were furious
and today you're in a good mood.
I don't think you should know the reason why I'm so happy.
Is it about Saul or is it about your reven...
I'm not going to answer.
Don't you trust me anymore?
It hurts that you won't tell me.
It hurts even more when the people you love
don't understand you or trust you.
Sit down.
I'm General Raul Ibarra,
the military prosecutor assigned to your case.
I've heard a lot about you, General.
You have my respect.
This is a real surprise, Colonel.
Tell me about it.
Your record is impeccable.
I hope it stays that way.
Considering the recent events,
I don't see that happening.
I'm listening, though.
Do you have anything to say?
Not in the meantime, General.
First, I want to be sure of who really got me in this mess.
For now, I'd just like to see my attorney please.
I'll let him in.
I haven't called him yet.
You don't have to.
Your name is all over the news.
All of Mexico knows you're being detained here.
You.
I have the right to speak to my client in private.
I'll remind you that a client-attorney relationship
is strictly confidential.
Please turn the microphone off.
As you know, the use of this conversation in trial
is unconstitutional.
Well, Colonel, shall we talk?
I just decided that tonight will be the night
we host the dinner we've been planning
for Isabela and Diego.
Even with everything that's going on?
Exactly why.
This dinner will prove to everyone
that Isabela's life is continuing
as if nothing happened,
so that no one suspects she was in the accident
with Emiliano.
Isabela isn't in the mood for parties.
Don't you see her? She's worried.
I'll do whatever my aunt says.
I'm your mother here.
That's exactly why you could be considering
your daughter's best interests.
My daughter didn't commit a crime.
Are you going to keep on with that?
Prison isn't the only punishment that Isabela
could receive.
Do you want people to signal her on the street
for leaving a woman who was run over on the street to die?
Of course not.
Then not another word about it.
The dinner is tonight. That's final.
How can I calm down?
Our son is being investigated!
It's not up to me. You have to do it.
Leticia, please.
Trust me, everything is under control.
You always say that because you don't want to admit
that we lost control of our son years ago?
I insist that we should send him far away for a while
to protect him.
Emiliano is my only son.
I'll never let you keep him away from me.
You need to stop thinking of yourself
and start thinking of him.
That's exactly what I'm doing.
Trust me, I couldn't care less about anyone else.
What is it?
We just confirmed the arrest of Colonel Alejandro Cespedes.
The operation was carried out last night
by the Secretary of National Defense.
What is it, Rafael?
We were talking about Emiliano
and you suddenly froze when you saw that news.
Why do you care so much about that officer?
Rafael.
How can I believe that she has nothing to do with this?
Because it's the truth.
One of your men set you up.
We had no interest in ruining the plan.
I'll remind you that we work with wood.
We're not traffickers.
All of my subordinates were of my utmost trust, Counselor.
Oh, please. Trust can be bought.
Maybe all this has something to do with your past.
What are you talking about?
I've protected my reputation and my family.
Right now my children are asking themselves
if their father is a good man or not.
Is he?
Is this the only stain on your record, Colonel,
or is there something else?
She has something against me, doesn't she?
Why is she doing this to me?
Who is she really?
