- We need to act immediately and help Franco.
- We'll go to where he is.
Juan: We'd go to the ends of the earth for him.
We'll remain silent like we have for the last few years.
- Even after all this time you need him now more than ever.
- Who do you mean?
- Your husband.
You're trying to fill the void left by his absence.
[♪♪♪]
- He still thinks about me. He's not over me.
He may be captivated by her now,
but that whim will come to end when he least expects it
and thanks to an unexpected visitor.
- You'd come with me to the Middle East?
Hold on, honey.
If anything happens to you, I'd die.
- If anything happens to you, I'd die.
There's no time to waste. You need to decide now.
- Look, there's something else I'd like to discuss.
I don't want to come across as a busybody,
but you should worry more about your children, Sarita.
- What? Worry more about my children?
Most of my free time is devoted to them.
- Yes, but...
Have you talked to Gaby lately?
Do you know anything about her private life?
Does she have a boyfriend? Is she seeing anyone?
Do you know if she fancies anyone?
- Well, no.
We have clear dynamics in this household.
I respect my children's private life
and I don't meddle in Gaby's or Andres' personal life.
They are good kids.
- Andres might be, but Gaby... is different.
She's a very sensitive and vulnerable woman.
- Yes.
She's terrified of men and that really worries me.
You've seen how paranoid she is about Demetrio.
- I don't know, maybe that doesn't apply to all men.
I mean, haven't you seen how she behaves around Nino?
- Nino.
[Chuckles] No.
I mean, Nino is a sweetheart.
He's a sweet boy, but she just cares about him as a friend.
She just wants to help him. It's more like she pities him.
- Don't mistake pity for love, Sarita.
- I know you very well. What are you trying to say?
- You need to pay closer attention to your children.
Gaby needs you now more than ever.
[♪♪♪]
- Gentlemen, I've reviewed these documents carefully
and I can tell you that we've got it.
- We had to be sure before moving ahead
because any mistake could sink your brother for life.
- That's why we hired you.
- To do things right.
- As mentioned, we've reviewed the events,
we've reviewed the books,
and we even reviewed the price of the animals
and found no inconsistencies.
- Those sales weren't illegal.
Everything was signed, sealed, and authorized properly.
I don't believe there'll be any issues.
Juan: That's good news then.
Oscar: It's more than good news.
- I'd say these are excellent news.
The pieces of the puzzle, which is what this is,
are coming together.
- Once we organize these documents,
we'll cross-reference them
with the ones the authorities in Qatar have
and everything will proceed smoothly.
- Once every piece falls into place, and they will,
we'll be able to prove no money laundering occurred
and that Mr. Franco Reyes isn't connected to drug traffickers.
[♪♪♪]
- This space looks spectacular!
- An empty room doesn't seem all that spectacular to me.
- Andres, sweetheart, this space looks marvelous.
You can host an event or a concert here.
You're a singer and a dancer. You can perform here now.
- Really, Grandma? A dancer?
Really?
- It was just a figure of speech, Andres.
Why are you so angry?
I definitely think Demetrio really improved this space.
Demetrio shouldn't have been a landowner
but a designer or an architect.
He's the perfect replacement
for the husband that left and never came back.
- Alright, I'd like to go over what happened.
I want some clarity. What happened?
- Why was Franco arrested?
- There were many factors that played a role legally speaking,
but it seems the investigators
were unsure of the origins of the money
and even the real value of the animals that were exported.
- It was concluded that the transaction was illegal,
that it was fake and they simply arrested him right away.
That's how things are done over there.
- It's illegal for them to arrest a person
and not allow him to defend himself.
- Unfortunately, this is very popular in Doha,
it's flamboyant capital.
The language barrier will be an issue.
All commercial transactions are done in English,
but Arabic is the primary language of the place
and this could complicate things for prisoners there.
They're locked up and they can't defend themselves.
They can't even define their legal status there.
- Keep in mind that when you're charged with money laundering,
things get complicated because there's usually a connection
to drug trafficking or any other illegal business.
Don't worry, though.
These documents will help us prove Mr. Reyes' innocence.
- Like we said earlier,
this is the crowning piece of evidence
that will help us prove your brother's evidence.
[♪♪♪]
Juan: What's keeping us from getting to work then?
- My colleague and I will review these documents again,
so we can be sure we're not making any mistakes.
We'll notify you once we're done.
Sounds good?
- I still can't understand how these documents were hidden.
If that wall hadn't been torn down,
we never would've gotten our hands on them. Why is that?
- That's a very good question,
but only Franco Reyes knows the answer.
Jimena: I honestly don't believe in Mom's intentions.
She's trying to get Sarita to fall for Demetrio
and she seems to go along with it.
Norma: I can't believe it. That's horrible.
Jimena: It's true. She's so obvious.
You know what Mom is like when she's playing matchmaker.
- Well, she'll have to work a little harder this time around.
Sarita is a tough woman
and I doubt she'll be easily swayed.
Jimena: I used to think so too, but you know what?
After moving in with her, I've realized I hardly know her.
You should see her argue with her children to protect him.
- What?
That's very serious.
Especially that we know what may have happened to Franco.
- Yes.
I can't believe Juan told you about it.
- What I can't believe is that you were lucky enough
to find those documents.
I don't know how it happened, but you were very lucky.
I hope you didn't tell Sarita.
- Of course not. I haven't said a word to her.
As soon as I read the documents,
I kept it from her and her children.
I told Juan the same thing.
- Were you able to read the documents?
What's in them? What do they talk about?
- I did.
They were very complex and extensive,
but it was obvious that Franco got in a lot of trouble
because he made a deal in an Arab country.
- Good Lord.
- This is all so terrible.
It seems like that's the reason why he's in prison now.
As soon as I read the documents,
I went out looking for Oscar and I gave them to him.
- And Oscar rushed out and gave them to Juan.
- Yes, yes.
Have you talked about it, though?
What are you going to do?
- They're doing something. They're trying...
A lawyer who specializes in international law was hired
so he can help find evidence to help Franco.
It won't be easy.
- No, but we have to everything we can to help him.
- We'll do whatever it takes.
I don't know what that is, but we have to help him.
[♪♪♪]
- I'm so glad you're back, ma'am.
- I was talking to Jimena and I lost track of time.
Jacinto, please put her in the stables.
- Yes, ma'am. - Thank you so much.
Great.
Who's visiting? Who do those cars belong to?
- The attorneys who are talking to Mr. Juan and Mr. Oscar.
- Have they been here for long?
- They've been talking in the study for a long time.
Would you like something to drink?
- Yes, thank you. - Come on.
[♪♪♪]
Erick: Who were they?
- Lawyers.
They came with Uncle Oscar in the morning
and they've been in Dad's study since.
Leon: What were they talking about?
- I don't know. Something private, I guess.
Has Uncle Oscar mentioned anything to you?
- No.
We should ask him, wouldn't you agree?
- This is very strange. What could they be talking about?
[♪♪♪]
- We were talking about a potential export venture
for the boutique.
We want to know what to expect so we can really expand.
- That's a good idea. Aunt Jimena would love that.
- That's a great excuse to see her, even it's just for work.
- I honestly thought you'd give up on the boutique
because of all your problems.
- I thought so too,
but we've fortunately been very mature about the situation
and things are going well.
- Happy to hear it.
- Wait, but why'd you talk about that here with Dad
and not at the boutique?
- Yeah, how come?
- Don't worry, Oscar.
Don't worry, I'll handle this.
- I'm going to go with him and we'll handle it together.
We said we would, right, honey?
Oscar: You two?
- It's what's best.
You have a lot going on with Romina and your son
and you can't neglect your business or your home.
- Yeah, but the two of you can't go alone.
- I'm going with him and we're going to be fine.
We can discuss about it later.
- Okay, okay. Whoa!
What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?
What are you up?
Leon: Spill it out already. What's going on?
- You're being very mysterious. Are you hiding something?
- Talk to us. What are you hiding from us?
- You can't get involved in this matter.
What you need to do is worry about your duties.
I propose a toast.
To the Reyeses, damn it!
To us being closer than ever!
- To the Reyeses. - To the Reyeses!
- That's not like me.
I'm here to check on how the work is coming along.
- How do you think? It's coming along.
They do what they can.
This house is so old that it's falling apart
and they can't work miracles.
- You should use this opportunity to remodel the place
and better Duvan's room, for instance.
- How am I going to better the little prince's room?
What should I do? Decorate it with stars and planets?
- That's exactly what I've been telling her to do.
With some good will and a dose of imagination,
this could all look great.
- How long will I have to put up with the dust and the mess?
I'll never get used to this dump.
Shut up and stay out of it.
- Where's Duvan?
- At school.
I wasn't going to let him stay so he'd get in their way.
Don't worry, though,
I won't send him to your fancy home to bother you.
- He can come over whenever he wants, but you can't.
- I'll stop by whenever I damn well please.
- Listen up, Romina Clemente.
If you get anywhere near that house, I will report you.
Remember there's a restraining order against you.
- Did your maid complain to you?
- Berta.
- I don't care what her name is.
- My trusted employee is authorized to watch
and protect the house from invaders and intruders.
- You're insulting me.
- That's what you are.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have used these keys to get in.
- Are you here to threaten me, fool?
- I came here to warn you not to play with fire.
I don't know how many times you went to the house to hurt us
or with the intent to hurt us.
- Is there anyone who can prove that I had those damn keys?
If your two-bit maid is gossiping to you,
then she lacks the ability to run a household.
- Berta is more than qualified and she's armed too.
You should also know
that I'm installing a surveillance system
that will tell me if any intruders enter the place.
Is that clear?
- Oh, I'm so scared.
I won't be able to sleep tonight. I'm so very scared.
Bastard!
- Take care!
[♪♪♪]
Gaby: Don't say that, Nino.
You said that if we helped you and your family,
you'd leave the neighborhood.
Aunt Jimena offered to help. What am I supposed to do?
- Zarco Merino is my boss.
He suspected that I wanted to escape
so he offered a condition.
I have to help him with two hits this weekend.
- Nino, please don't do it.
Stop getting involved with those people.
What if something serious happens to you?
What if the police catches you?
Stop thinking about it and run away tomorrow.
We'll go get you and your family, okay?
- Zarco won't let me go.
He needs me because he knows that I'm a risk-taker
and that I won't let him down.
I can't fail him, much less betray him.
He'd kill me!
I'm sorry, Gaby, but I can't leave the neighborhood yet.
I'm sorry.
We'll talk after I come through for my boss, but not before.
I'm sorry.
[Cell phone ringing]
- Hello.
Yes, sir.
Yes, I can hear you. I'm fine.
When?
Mom.
Dad just called.
- What did he say?
- I can't go out because he'll be here soon
and he doesn't want me away from here.
[♪♪♪]

[Shouting]
- Juan.
Calm down.
Calm down, honey.
You're too tense. Calm down.
- I can't sleep.
- Everything's going to be okay.
- I dreamt about him.
I saw him.
I hadn't dreamed about Franco in a while.
He didn't look well, honey.
He looked terrible. He was... trapped.
Far away from us. He wasn't well.
- I'm scared too, but everything's going to be fine.
We'll soon reunite with him and we'll be able to help him.
I need you to calm down. I'll go get some water.
- No, no, no.
Don't go. I'll get it myself.
[♪♪♪]
Juan: You're up early too?
Juan David: I heard you walk down and decided to join you.
- Your mother and I are thirsty.
Would you like some water?
- No, I'm fine.
- Then let's go back to bed.
- I'd like to ask you something.
- What is it?
- Why won't you tell me the truth?
Why are you and Mom traveling so suddenly?
- We already told you that we're helping Uncle Oscar
with some negotiations
and I'd like to get away with your mother.
When was the last time we went on vacation?
- I don't buy that, Dad.
I'm not a child anymore.
- You need to trust us, kid.
- I'm sure there's more to it
and that it has nothing to do with the boutique.
- Why don't you believe us?
- Because you wouldn't do anything
that had anything to do with the boutique.
- Listen up, son.
Parents keep certain topics to themselves
and they don't need to share them with their children.
When you have your own brood, you'll do the same.
- No, I don't plan on following the stupid tradition
of not telling my children anything.
I'll tell them everything.
- Great, and you have every right to do so.
In the meantime, pray that we get back safe and sound
and that we come back with good news.
- What good news?
- Didn't you hear me? That we come back safe and sound.
Isn't that enough?
We know when we leave, but not when we come back.
- When are you leaving, Mom?
- We leave tomorrow afternoon.
- Why are you packing such a huge bag?
How long are you going to be gone for?
- Because we're staying for a few days.
Your father will surely want us to visit a few cities
and I don't know how long we'll be gone for.
- Hmm.
Mom, I want to see your ticket. Where is it?
- Boys, please. What's going on?
Are you here as my sons or are you here to spy on me?
- We simply want to know where you're going and for how long.
- Erick, honey, please stop.
- Oh.
- Are you worried because we might not be in touch?
- You know me and you know I'll continue to check up on you.
Won't you let me pack this bag? Don't you have things to do?
- Yes, but you have to understand that we're worried
about this very strange trip.
- This is all so strange.
- Look, everything's fine and we're going to be fine.
There's nothing strange about us wanting to help your uncle.
Uncle... Oscar needs our help right now.
Come on, go back to work.
Alright, we're going to be fine.
[♪♪♪]
- Be careful with those boxes because they contain valuables.
Don't drop anything or else.
Go on and be careful.
Hey, don't you want to see the furniture?
Did you know that I'm remodeling the library?
I'm going to surprise... - It's the least you can do.
- I'm going to give you an exclusive.
Just you, though.
I'll hang a huge portrait in the middle of the room.
You're going to love it.
That will change your mind about what I'm doing here.
Hey. - Don't touch me!
- Are you going to keep rejecting me like that?
That's enough of that, okay?
I'm practically living here, so...
- Demetrio. - Hmm?
- Can we talk? - Sure.
Coming.
Right when we were talking.
She's the boss, though.
[♪♪♪]
Gentlemen, right this way.
The plan is for you to set that sofa over here.
What do you think, Sarita? How does the sofa look there?
- I don't know. Thank you. - Thank you.
- I'm honestly not too sure about it.
- Well, we could do something with this space,
but I want to protect this area.
I want to save this space for a special painting
I want to give to you.
It has been passed down in my family for generations
and I want you to have it.
This is the perfect place for it.
- So...
You forgot this picture. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh, God!
What are you doing? Help!
[Groans]
[♪♪♪]
Demetrio, what are you doing?
[♪♪♪]
- Sorry.
I'm sorry, Sarita.
- Why would you do that? Why'd you try to...?
Why?
- Did I hurt you?
I'll never touch you again, I promise.
I won't kiss you...
until we get married.
[♪♪♪]
[♪ Theme song ♪]
Leon: Did you notice Mom's reaction
when I tried to take her passport?
They're obviously hiding something.
What could be so serious that they won't even tell us?
- Horses have nothing to do with dresses or suits.
What could they know about running the boutique?
- Nothing.
- We'll have to wait until they get back from the trip.
- We'll have to wait then.
[♪♪♪]
- Mom.
Mom?
- You're wasting your time. She went out.
- Do you know where she went?
- We didn't speak, I just saw her leave.
Do you need her for anything urgent?
- Andres has to modify tonight's choreography
and I have to notify her.
- Well, judging from her outfit,
I'd guess she was going somewhere special.
- How was she dressed?
- She was dressed in a manner similar
to the times when she'd visit certain haciendas
to see certain people she's certainly interested in.
That's just my opinion, though.
- Stop talking nonsense, Gunter.
- If you want to know where she is, why don't you call her?
[♪♪♪]
- Relax, don't worry.
I'm not here to start a confrontation.
It's quite the opposite. I'm here to warn you.
- Is this about Muriel?
- Yes. Has she told you about her father Samuel?
Well, I'd like to talk to you about him.
I'd also like to ask you for a favor.
- What is it?
- I suppose this won't be easy for you
and that... it will require a great effort on your part,
but it'll be best if you stay away for a while
from the place where you and Muriel meet.
By the way...
that must be a very special place.
I would've loved to have visit it,
but you never took me there.
[♪♪♪]
What?
Are you afraid of me?
- When should I stop visiting that place?
- I don't know. I can't say for sure.
You shouldn't go for as long as Samuel is in San Marcos.
[♪♪♪]
- I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that.
- Juan David, I'm doing this is for my daughter's sake
and especially for your sake.
You don't know Samuel.
He's a dangerous and temperamental man.
- I don't care.
- Please understand that I don't want you to get upset.
I don't want anything bad to happen to you, Juan David.
I'm really worried about your safety.
- Thank you, but I have things to do.
So... have a nice day.
Excuse me.
- What do you want this time, Rosario Montes?
- Would it be possible to not have to see you
whenever I come by?
- You'll find me here whenever I damn well please.
- Relax, I'm not here to make trouble.
I had to tell your son something and I did.
Excuse me. Have a nice day.
[♪♪♪]
- I'm worried about leaving while she still comes by.
I have a terrible feeling about it, son.
I do. You need to be careful.
She won't stay still for long.
She's disturbing and devilishly attractive.
- I only like Muriel.
And if you're worried about her coming back,
then I've got a solution.
Take me on your trip.
- Damn it all to hell.
So you're going to be as stubborn as the twins?
- I'm not being stubborn.
I know you.
I get the feeling that you're keeping something from me.
- Again with that?
Worry about your work.
If we need your help...
we'll let you know, son.

Panchita: Rosi, what's the matter? Open the door.
Gunter: You're expected during this intermission.
Panchita: Muriel and Andres are ready for the performance.
- I won't perform with those two spies watching me!
Gunter: What spies are you talking about?
- What spies am I talking about?
You know very well what I mean, you bastard!
- Of course I don't!
- I saw them!
I'm sure there are more of them in the audience.
Tell me, Gunter, is Samuel here?
Has he been by? Do you know?
Answer, answer!
- Stop getting any ideas.
- Yes!
If he's here, tell him to come and face me!
Tell him to stop sending his henchmen to torment me.
- If he were here, he would've shown himself already.
He doesn't waste his time scaring people.
- Rosi, calm down and drink this.
The musicians are ready for the show, so let's go perform.
- You either kick those two bastards out
or I'll kick them out myself in front of everyone!

- My family is... strange, for lack of a better word.
Why do the people who claim to love you attack you?
I found out Juan and Norma are going away on vacation
and they didn't even tell me about it.
Do you think that's right, Demetrio?
Demetrio.
- Huh?
- What were you thinking about?
- Sarita.
- I wish a man loved me as much as you love Sarita.
Not just me, though.
Many women would want a love like that.
- It was all so strange.
They suddenly booked a trip and they leave tomorrow.
We're having dinner and saying our goodbyes later.
Who knows!
Otherwise, I'd be with you at the bar.
- I'd love it if you were here, but it's better this way.
I spoke with my father and he's not in San Marcos yet,
but what worries me is that he's already trying
to get us to obey him.
- I can't wait to meet him.
I want him to know who I am.
Okay.
Love you. Bye.
Kisses.
- I overheard it.
I know what they're going to do.
I'm old, but I'm not deaf or mute.
I know they're going on a trip.
- You may not be blind, deaf, or mute, but you are drunk.
- Your adorable parents aren't going away on a business trip
and they're not going to enjoy a fifth honeymoon.
The birds told me everything.
Yes, they're going on a rescue mission.
- Have you been drinking?
- Listen to me very closely.
There's a small bird in a very large cage
next to some birds that want to devour him.
They're going to rescue him.
That's good, but if they rescue him,
everyone will come after him.
Listen to me! Everyone will come after him!
- I'm surprised, Juan.
There was a change of plans? I was ready to travel.
- Don't take it personally. It's due to the situation.
- Forget it.
I know that we're under a lot of stress,
but I was ready to go.
- Norma and I are going to take on this responsibility.
We're well aware of everything you're dealing with.
- This isn't just about going to see Franco.
I want to see how he's doing.
- If things go as the attorneys think they will,
you'll get to see him for the rest of your life.
- Okay.
I hope so.
What if it doesn't? That's also a possibility.
- Why do you think that? - It's a possibility.
What if this doesn't work out?
I'd like to see him even if it were for a few minutes.
It's been three years, Juan!
- It'll work.
We'll do everything we can to get him back,
but I need you to help me with my sons in the meantime.
Keep an eye on them.
I don't know how long we'll be away for
or how long it'll take to settle these legal issues.
- Alright.
Thank you for trusting me with them, Juan.
And thank Norma for her help.
It's in God's hands now.
Good luck, brother. We need it.
