You're going to help me win the election.
and then I hear you turned yourself in
to save your daughter.
The kidnappers released the child, but not you.
Where were you?
Adriana, can you tell us what happened?
Did you see anyone else besides Luisa?
Tell me, were you escaping from your husband?
Did Cesar try to hurt you?
Did he kidnap you? Say something!
I want to leave this place. I'm tired.
It's best if we let her recover and get some rest.
Besides, it's not like she wants to talk.
We can't afford to wait. We need answers.
The doctors say she's suffering from dehydration.
We'll have to wait until she recovers.
There'll be time to question her later.
Fine, fine, fine.
I'll get my answers soon enough.
We need to throw the press a bone, though.
Hello.
What's going on? Where is she?
I can't talk. I'm with her now.
Has she said anything?
Has she provided any information?
No, no, no.
Not yet.
I can say that she's fine. She's safe and sound.
-Hello. -Hey.
What are you doing here?
I came to pick you up so we can go to my mom's farewell dinner.
Did you hear what happened?
I think Adriana's testimony can help Tomas and Cesar.
She knows neither Caesar nor Tomas had her kidnapped.
She can shed some light on Estela's murder.
I don't know, Camila.
Adriana doesn't exactly have the best track record.
She and Caesar could both be guilty of fraud.
But she was kidnapped.
Or so we have been lead to believe.
I hate to bring it up, but those two swindled your family.
She pretends to be a millionaire.
He showed up at the charity offering to volunteer,
he ended up doing a carpentry job at your house
and he lied about looking for his wife.
They're both liars.
Cesar lied to find his wife.
It all sounds like a scheme to me.
Adriana and Cesar faked her disappearance,
so they could ask for $5 million in ransom.
And they used their child and press to benefit themselves.
No, Cesar wouldn't do that.
Perhaps, but you can't go out on a limb
for a man who might go to prison.
All right, people. Show a little respect.
There'll be time to answer your questions later.
Right now, let's be respectful. She's in a fragile state.
Step aside, please.
Stand there. Great.
How are you doing? You know who kidnapped you?
Was your daughter with you?
Did you turn yourself in to save her?
That's enough. No more questions.
Please leave.
Adriana.
My daughter is always putting her job before her mother.
We're 40 minutes late.
Come on, Nicole! She's a heroine.
That was a master stroke, darling.
Congratulations.
Even Pascual got out of bed and started feeling better.
Thank you, Renata. I was just doing my job.
I'm glad you're feeling better, Dad.
I think you could use a drink.
Okay.
Pour us some drinks too.
Have a seat, please.
Thank you.
Don't you think this calls for a toast?
Having Alejandra in the family is a source of pride for us all.
Were you able to see her?
No, she was already gone by the time I arrived.
And Alejandra won't leave my side.
I don't know what to do.
Now you've got two to deal with.
Thank you for everything.
And if you can have the reporters outside leave,
I'd appreciate it.
There's nothing we can do, Ferrer.
It's a free country. They can do whatever they want.
We'll be back later, once everyone has calmed down
and Adriana has gotten some rest.
Thank you.
Do you want something to eat, Mommy?
I made you your favorite tamales.
I just want to take a bath.
Yes, Mommy. I'll walk you to your room.
Honey, I'm going to go home.
If you need me, I'll be back tomorrow.
Why are you leaving?
Your wife has never wanted me around
and now that she's back, it's best if you figure things out.
She abandoned her family and her daughter.
I know, honey, but what are you going to do?
Leave and give those reporters another reason to badmouth you?
Even if she deserves it, would you kick her out?
Besides, she seems to be in shock.
-In shock? -Yes.
Don't you know Adriana?
A bomb could go off next to her and she'd never notice.
In any case, I'd rather leave. Just try to be patient.
Whether you like it or not, she can put a stop
to all those terrible things they're saying about you.
Fine.
Thanks, Mom.
I'll leave after I get my things.
Don't be mad, but we donated all your clothes to the poor.
Since you wrote an e-mail saying you'd never be back...
Though that might not have been you.
Still, we found these clothes which belonged to your friend.
Dad told me her name is Mariana.
Mariana del Molino.
Your friend smells just like you.
I used to smell your clothes when I thought about you
and missed you.
Let me show you my favorite.
Noelia, can you give me some time by myself?
Huh?
I need to think, take a shower, and get dressed.
Yes, Mommy.
I want you to know that I'm really happy to see you again
and to have you back home.
Mariana del Molino.
You can save me. Get me out of here.
Mommy is acting strange.
Honey, Mommy has been through a lot lately,
but she'll be back to normal in no time.
Daddy, please don't be mad at her.
I promise I'll be good. I don't want her to leave again.
Okay.
Tomas, we've been waiting for you.
Hello.
Come in.
What are you doing here?
She came to see me. We were just talking.
Does that bother you?
No, not at all.
Nicole, you know we run a charity, right?
Ines works there as a secretary.
No, she's much more than a secretary.
She's my right-hand woman and a close friend.
Hi, Ines. Would you like a drink?
-Take a seat. -No, I'm fine.
I don't want to be rude, but this is a family event.
It's a farewell dinner for Nicole.
All the more reason for her to stay.
Ines is family to me.
By the way, she's got some great ideas for the trial.
Now that Adriana's back... Can we discuss it?
I'd love to hear what she has to say.
Renata, Ines will be a star witness at Tomas' trial,
so you should treat her well.
So this is what's left of the glamorous life I dreamed of.
Has she been seen by a doctor? Is she okay?
Oh.
Thank you, Detective.
I wanted to hear a first-hand account.
Thank you.
-Francisco. -Yes?
What are you doing here?
We're waiting for you to have dinner.
I talked to Detective Barros and luckily, Adriana's okay.
She's at Cesar's house.
That's her house too. Are you going to go see her?
I can't right now.
The press is outside her house day and night.
Still, I need to talk to her.
I need to know if this was all a scheme,
if Alejandra was behind it all.
Enough already. Leave that woman alone.
You're married to Alejandra,
an extraordinary and intelligent woman.
Focus on your marriage!
I can't do that when my mind is clouded with doubts.
You should understand.
Don't you feel suffocated by Mom?
If you didn't, why would you keep so much cash stored away?
You were planning on leaving. Admit it.
I already explained why I kept that money.
Be honest, Dad.
Were you planning on leaving with Eva or another woman?
Dinner is ready.
I told Noelia to wait for us because we need to talk first.
