about love,
and listen to you now.
In the end you're nothing but a wretched blackmailer.
You made me do this.
Braulio, I had nothing to do
with any of the crimes you were charged with,
not with Jaime's death or Ximena's disappearance.
Nor was it my idea that you rape that poor girl.
If I'd helped you do any of those things,
I'd be right there helping you.
I'd be your ally.
What about what I did, huh?
I helped you kill all those men.
You decided to help me with my vengeance,
or did I force you?
No, you didn't...
I did it because I love you.
And that's why you want me to pay for your crimes?
Listen to me carefully.
I've said it before and I'll say it again,
if you sell me out, I'll cut out your tongue.
You'll never talk again.
Although I'm not sure if I should cut it out before...
or after I kill you.
I don't understand.
I thought you'd be happy after I resolved my problem
with Altagracia.
Isn't that what you wanted?
We can finally start over, you and me.
Well, and Monica too.
Rafael, you said you needed to know the truth
so you could leave all this behind you.
How can we do that
if you want a living memory of what you did to Altagracia
to live in my house?
-This isn't Monica's fault. -It's not mine either.
It's already difficult if not almost
to forgive you for your past.
Living with your victims' daughter,
the product of your raping a woman,
will be even more difficult.
You know I love you,
but I'll make this very clear.
Starting right now,
I'm giving Monica what I never gave her.
She's getting all my money.
-All of it? -Yes.
-Our money. -She deserves it.
Does she?
For your information, half of everything is mine.
If you want to wash away your sins,
do it with your half,
but you're not bringing
anybody into the house where I raised my son.
I won't allow Monica to have what's mine,
do you understand?
I let you stay in this house to protect you from Altagracia,
but you just said she won't hurt you
because her daughter would reproach her.
That means you can leave.
I want you out.
Now.
-Monica... -Adolfo...
How is he?
He had a relapse... he's not doing well.
He's going to recover though, right?
I don't think so.
Is it that bad?
I'm going to keep him under observation tonight,
but he should go home tomorrow.
That's what he's always wanted...
And he'll be more comfortable there
in the time he's got left.
He's got left?
Your dad is in the final stages of his illness.
I'm really sorry.
The ceremony's tomorrow. You'll be there, right?
Sure.
Would you like to celebrate my appointment tonight?
I'm very tired. Today was a rough day.
Why? What happened?
I helped Altagracia with some personal problems.
Personal problems?
I can't tell you what,
but she's going through a rough time right now.
As for your appointment, I'm not sure.
What aren't you sure about?
I just don't want you making it harder for my sister.
She has enough problems as it is.
So you want me to let her keep making dirty deals
just because she's your sister?
Any news on Felipe?
Our source told me he accepted the nomination
as Secretary of Urban Development.
Oh, please.
Felipe doesn't even know how to lay a brick.
What little knowledge he has on housing and construction,
he learned from me.
No disrespect, but I think you're underestimating him.
His political career came crashing down,
but he was able to get back up.
He now has a high approval rating.
I'll see to it they plummet.
He's being officially appointed tomorrow.
I also found out the first thing he's going to do
is pull the plug on our project in the area
surrounding the national park.
I heard that too, but I'll stop him.
The shareholders must trust me like they've always done.
No one in government can stop me.
No one's ever pulled the plug on any of my projects.
-They said that too. -What exactly?
How much power and influence I have over the government?
No.
That you've changed.
That you went soft
when you gave up the land to that tenement.
That's ridiculous.
The only thing I gave up was land for a parking lot.
That doesn't compare to all the projects
we've worked on these past few months.
We shareholders do trust you,
but it wouldn't hurt for the queen
to hear what those outside her court are saying.
I know Altagracia's done shady things in the past...
Not only in the past, but right now,
she's building inside a national park,
ignoring environmental laws.
I just want you to leave her alone for a little bit.
Please stop bothering her.
She's going through a difficult time.
Why?
I said I can't tell you. Just trust me.
I can't believe you're asking me
to put your sister's interests over my duties.
Oh, please.
As if everyone in the government were a saint
and only cared about doing good for everyone.
Excuse me?
You saw firsthand everything she did to me.
And she's paying for everything she's done.
Karma's taking care of that.
It's obvious your sister will never leave us alone,
even when we have reason to celebrate.
If something were to happen to me,
I want you to give it to someone very important.
Who?
Felipe Valenzuela.
The former congressman?
Yes, and I advise you not to read the note.
You wouldn't understand and it'd be of no use to you.
It would only cause your death.
Oh, no...
-What happened? -Huh?
It's just your son.
I thought there was a civil war out there.
No...
Is everything okay, Lupita?
You have to get up.
No, I don't want to.
-You have to get up. -Come on.
-No... -Get up.
-Don't tickle me. -Get up.
You're messing with the tickle master...
I recommend that you stop....
-I said stop! -No, wait!
Stop!
Don't tickle me!
Look at the time! The trial.
I have to go shower!
Son, I'm coming...
Who are all these flowers from?
"You said you didn't want flowers the next day,
but what about the day after that?"
I thought you enjoyed it.
I prefer the after.
You mean like flowers, dates, calling you...
No, none of that.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Hi, Saul.
Hi, Altagracia.
That's a lot of flowers.
Who are they from?
Lazaro needs to be home
and surrounded by his family right now.
He'll be better taken care of at home
than at the hospital.
What about his medication?
There's nothing that can help any more.
I'll prescribe some sedatives to help him relax
and some pain relievers...
Why pain relievers?
He'll start getting headaches and they'll only get worse.
The pain relievers will help with that.
We've got some tough days ahead of us.
Yes, all of you, so you need to be ready.
What else could possibly happen to him?
Something very common is mood swings.
He could go from anger to sadness
to happiness to crying in a matter of seconds.
He'll also experience nausea and difficulty breathing.
If that happens, call me immediately.
He looks peaceful.
It won't always be that way though.
He'll experience memory loss.
He may experience difficulty recognizing people.
What do you mean?
He won't remember us anymore when he wakes up?
That's possible.
The flowers are from someone I recently met.
Someone a bit over the top.
Yes. That's a lot of flowers.
So why'd you come?
I thought you'd be at the trial.
I'm on my way,
but I needed to speak with you first.
Oh, yeah? About what?
What do you want?
Braulio's trial is going very well,
but I'm still missing something concerning my father's death...
your testimony.
That's all you want? For me to testify?
Well, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
You can't or you don't want to?
You're a great attorney.
You have everything you need to bring Braulio to justice.
If anyone can do it, it's you.
Thanks, but I need a back up. Your testimony...
And I'm sorry, but I won't get involved,
especially right now
that terrible things are happening to me,
things I wasn't ready for.
What's going on?
You were right.
Rafael... is a Monkey.
-You confirmed it? -Yes...
and that's not all.
Rafael is Monica's father.
I called you so you can make changes to my will,
not so you can worry about me.
Like I said before, I want to leave half my fortune
to Monica Hernandez.
With all due respect,
you have the right to make all the changes you wish,
but no one knew you had a daughter.
I just found out I'm the father.
Who's her mother?
She's wealthier than I am, but she's cold hearted.
She abandoned her when she was born.
As for my wife, I want to leave the other half to her.
Is there anything else?
Yes, I want to give Monica my last name
and legally recognize her as my daughter.
She's over 18. It's her decision to make.
Then we have to try, okay?
I'll figure out a way to convince her...
to accept who she is.
Monica Cabral.
I can't believe Rafael is Monica's father.
-Him? -I feel the same.
I still can't believe it.
It must be horrible knowing
he was so close to you all these years.
I feel scared and angry.
He always helped me with my company
and he rescued me when I was kidnapped...
I trusted him blindly...
and suddenly, he turns out to be my worst enemy.
Even though Monica is both your daughter,
we can't overlook the fact that Rafael is a murderer.
We?
I mean that just like I'm trying
to bring Braulio to justice,
you should do the same with Rafael
and Daniel Llamas too, one way or another.
I can help you.
I can press charges against them.
Don't you ever get tired of helping so many people?
What do you mean?
I know about all the people that you've helped
at Daniel's organization.
You've always been humble about it,
but now you're helping Lydia
and trying to find out what happened to Ximena.
What about what you did for Margarita
and countless other women?
Your sense of duty is infinite.
I'm not the hero you think I am.
I wake up every day thinking, "To hell with everything."
But you never give up.
You always do what you need to do.
You even want to help me.
Why?
Why can't you be like other men?
Why must it be so hard for me to get over you?
LADY ALTAGRACIA
