LADY ALTAGRACIA
I want you to leave at once, but I'll say it again.
The conversation you overheard between Matamoros and me
has nothing to do with your father,
and that's the end of it.
Do you actually think that explanation is enough for me?
You said you're going to become a murderer because of me.
Well, I became an idiot because of you.
I loved you like I'd never loved anyone.
I gave up a lot for you, and it was pointless.
You hate me just like you did when we met.
No, because my father was alive then
He was in jail, but he was alive.
He's dead now.
You planned your revenge and refused to tell me about it.
Well, I've done the same.
Are you going to get back at me for something I didn't do?
Is this a declaration of war?
Yes.
This is the end of our relationship
and the beginning of the war between us.
We're going to Europe?
Tomorrow?
To Italy.
It's always been my dream.
Don't get too excited now.
How? What's the rush?
With what money?
Money... isn't a problem. We have plenty.
Are you going to tell me where Yesenia got all the money
to buy everything she purchased?
She spent an insignificant amount of my money...
of my million dollars.
What?
One million dollars?
Where in the world did you get that money from?
You always knew about the money I was owed.
I just got it back, that's all.
Your mother gave me that money.
Leticia...
What's wrong, Leti?
You were acting very strange at the event.
Hi, Lupita. How are you?
You weren't yourself during the event,
and you refused to talk to me in the car.
What's the matter, Leti?
I tell you everything about my life.
You know I'm pregnant...
Don't you trust me anymore?
Daniel Llamas, the director of the organization,
has a tattoo on his chest.
It's the same tattoo Rafael had before we got married.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
It's identical.
Rafael became upset by Daniel's presence at the event.
He left without telling anyone.
I think they know each other.
Why would Rafael want to hide something like that?
Remember the article I shared with you?
The one about teens who use gang tattoos to identify themselves?
Yes, the rapist gangs.
One of the members said those gangs have existed for years.
-For over 20 years! -No, wait.
What are you insinuating?
That Rafael used to be in one of those gangs?
How can you think that about the father of your son?
What should I think then?
He never tells me about his past.
He complains when I ask
and he's never wanted to return to Veracruz.
He was born there!
What is he trying to avoid? What is Rafael keeping from me?
This is all very strange.
Lady Altagracia was too nice to me at the event.
She ignored the other guests.
This was our first meeting. Why focus on me so much?
Despite the coincidences,
Altagracia can't possibly know who we are.
I've known her for many years.
She's never tried anything against me.
In fact, she's confided in me.
I know things she'd never tell her enemies.
I know all of her secrets.
All of them? Are you two that close?
In order for us to work together effectively,
we need to tell each other absolutely everything.
That's ridiculous, Rafael.
Are you saying you don't keep any secrets from me?
Are you willing to tell me absolutely everything about you?
What is it? Did you remember something?
When Alejandro mentioned the deal Altagracia had offered him,
I tried to get her to tell me about it and she got defensive.
She didn't want to tell me that she knew Alejandro.
Could it be her?
Is Lady Altagracia hunting us down?
Don't threaten me.
It's not a threat. It's a fact.
I heard exactly what you two were said in this office.
You're confused.
No, I heard Matamoros say
you defended yourself from an attacker.
If it wasn't my father, then who?
-It wasn't your father. -Who was it then, huh?
-I can't say. -As per usual!
You can't say or explain it. I'm not allowed to know!
How can you expect anyone to love you under these conditions?
You're absolutely right. There's no room for love here.
If you keep attacking me, though,
I will defend myself.
Very well, then defend yourself.
I won't stop until I find my father's killer.
Once I do, I'll make them pay with prison or their life.
When did you meet with my mother?
Why'd you do it?
Why didn't you tell me about it until now?
We'd already discussed it.
You said when we first arrived to this city
that I should contact her
and ask her for the money she stole from me.
That's what I did.
What about me? Don't I get a say?
It's not just about the money. I want to meet her.
-Why? -What do you mean?
There are a million reasons why!
For starters, because she abandoned me.
I want to know why she did it.
Because she's a bad person.
She's a bad person!
That's all you need to know.
Not even dogs abandon their puppies behind.
Sorry, I didn't mean to take that tone with you.
I've always wanted to spare you this pain,
but the truth is that the woman who gave birth to you
doesn't care about you...
and never has.
Okay, but I'm worth a million dollars.
You said she gave you that much.
One million dollars so I can go far away.
Does every breath I take bother her too?
She's very dangerous.
The world she lives in
is full of criminals and illegal activity...
Right, that's why she gave you cash.
No receipt, no signature, nothing traceable,
so that damn woman can keep hiding, right?
That's right!
She wants to remain out of lives.
If you confront her,
who knows what she'd do?
You know what, Dad?
I don't care!
Let her kill me if she so pleases!
I want to see her face to face.
Don't go, Ximena. Not like this.
Are you afraid I'll rat you out?
-Are you going to threaten me? -Not at all.
You're a very brave woman.
You came back from Europe to take on Altagracia,
and you didn't let me intimidate you.
I'm tired, Braulio.
Sometimes I feel I have nothing to lose.
Don't say that.
You're a woman who deserves respect.
You have an amazing career as a lawyer ahead of you.
You can do anything you want.
I can't... I can't do it.
Altagracia closed every door for me in this country.
I can help you.
Do what? Get a job?
You'd go against Altagracia to help me?
It's her, isn't it?
Answer it. I'll take a taxi.
Ximena...
Altagracia.
Yes, something came up, but I'll tell you about it now.
I'm on my way to your house.
Okay.
I'm worried about those who rely on this organization.
I don't want them to be affected
by what I did in the past.
I know I'll have to pay my dues some day.
You were only with us once.
I know, but that doesn't exempt me.
That's not what I meant.
You partook in our activities only once.
That night during carnival
you got both initiated and kicked out.
If someone wanted to get back at you,
it would be because of what happened that night,
because we killed that girl, her parents, and her boyfriend.
I know Altagracia's parents are dead,
but she never told me how they died.
I know her sister.
The girl we raped had a sister who was able to get away.
Are you sure you killed her, Daniel?
Maybe you only hurt her.
Pretend to scream.
Save yourself.
Of course I killed her!
I was terrified,
but I wasn't going to leave any witnesses...
I hope you're not idiotic enough as to lie right now.
You're the one who's acting like an idiot.
Those people were very poor.
Lady Altagracia is a millionaire.
She's never done anything against you
and there's no evidence that she knew Miguel.
She knows you, though.
Revenge isn't the reason why she reached out.
Saul works here.
Her attorney told me so.
Lady Altagracia wants to look good in front of Saul
so he'll stop thinking that she killed his father.
That's a possibility.
In any case, we must be wary when it comes to Altagracia.
Are you listening to what you just said?
You said that Rafael, the father of your son,
used to be in a rapist gang.
That's completely insane!
Lots of women wish they had a husband
who was respectful and a gentleman like yours.
You're right. The news report got to me.
It said the gangs are made up of wealthy teenagers
and that they have tattoos like Rafael's and Daniel Llamas'.
It's very similar. Maybe it's the same one.
Maybe it was the trend back then
or they were part of some other group or something.
You're right.
Besides, if you think about it,
Daniel Llamas can't be a criminal.
You were there when Altagracia spoke about his organization
and how he helps women and children.
There's no way.
You're right.
I can't suspect my husband
just because he's very private about his past.
You know what?
Maybe Rafael doesn't want to go to Veracruz
because he doesn't want to get nostalgic about his childhood.
You know how some men are.
They don't like to appear weak
or emotional in front of others.
You're right. I have to trust Rafael.
He's the father of my son and my partner in life.
He's the man I love.
Stop worrying.
Yesenia!
My dad's in a wheelchair and you take him everywhere.
You never leave him.
If he saw my mother, then you did too.
What did your father tell you?
The truth.
That the woman who gave birth to me,
paid him so we'd leave her alone.
She's going to get a piece of me, though.
Tell me who she is.
You must know her. Tell me who she is!
I have to respect your father's wishes.
I don't get it.
Why are you keeping her identity a secret?
Is she that powerful? Is that why you're so scared?
Yes, she is.
From what I've heard, she's cruel and ambitious.
I'm sure she'd...
I know. She'd kill me.
I wasn't going to say that.
She wants me out of the picture
or to send me somewhere far away like when I was born.
I couldn't face her before, but now I can.
I understand that you're hurting, honey.
No matter how old you get,
you'll always want to know where you came from.
If you understand, then help me.
Okay, let's calm down...
You should've called for help. What are you doing?
How'd you get into the wheelchair by yourself, Dad?
How'd I do it?
I made a huge effort and endured the pain.
Just like I have for years
while I tried to be your everything.
You only complain and reproach my actions.
I was a mother and father to you.
Wasn't that enough?
Isn't it enough to know your mother is dangerous
and that I never want you to meet her?
Aren't you going to get out of bed?
I joined you at the dinner table.
You know what I mean.
I let you stay in today because I know you're upset,
but you're going to school tomorrow.
Are you going to pretend everything is fine?
How will I get to school? The bus?
My aunt took my car away!
Like I said, I have some savings...
Remember my boyfriend Marcos?
He was mocked because he on a scholarship.
They'll mock me!
If they do, then they're not your friends.
What will I say when they learn I'm living in a hotel?
This is temporary.
Where are we going to after? I refuse to live with Felipe.
I'll never live with him!
I never asked you to sacrifice yourself for me.
I didn't.
I kept you away from her to save both of our lives.
She's the devil.
She turned me into an alcoholic so she could steal from me!
Say something, Yesenia!
Did you meet my mother recently or when I was born?
What does it matter?
If I tell you her name, her age,
what she does for a living...
If I tell you everything about her,
will that make you happier?
If I tell you I took you away so she wouldn't hurt you,
because she always tried to and will continue trying,
will you believe what I say or what Yesenia says?
LADY ALTAGRACIA
