For the last time...
Where's Esperanza?
I don't know anything else.
What else do you want me to say?
That we know the Mexican President's in your pocket.
I don't have much time.
I just want to know if it's true Aurelio caught Jorge.
First of all, I'm supposed to be asking questions, not you.
Where the hell are you?
That's the one.
Follow him.
Do you want me to kick your ass?
Are you spying on my woman?
Hey, dude. Calm down.
I swear I didn't want to. Your dad put me up to this.
Your situation is different, you know?
Because he's hunting you, Esperanza.
So the question is... are you willing to stand by my side
so we can turn the tables on him?
There are plenty of women out there,
why'd you have to go after one of my own?
Or are you covering for these two?
THE LORD OF THE SKIES
Is that your new way of saying hello?
I'm not greeting anyone. I asked a question.
One that none of you has the ----- to answer.
What a great way of talking to your daughter
and the mother of your child.
The world doesn't stop on your account, Aurelio.
I thought you wanted to negotiate with me
so take it easy.
The world might not stop on my account, but negotiations can.
Aurelio, can we talk in private?
Talk in private?
What? You want to dance?
What if I don't want to?
Dad, tone it down.
This is my house so show my guests some respect.
If not, you can go out the same way you came in.
Why don't we try to calm down?
Aurelio and I need to talk.
Rutila, please.
----.
Serves me right for doing business with --------.
You're either telling me this because you're a -----
or because you want Rutila's hand in marriage.
I hadn't thought about that, but now that you mention it,
it's plausible.
Ladies, please.
Alright, let's cut the crap.
I want to see my grandchildren first and then we'll talk.
Carmen, will you take me to see them?
I don't understand, Arelys.
Why'd you have to make up a boyfriend?
Because I was too embarrassed to admit that I was alone.
I guess seeing you married, with children,
and being brave enough to face all of life's tests...
I feel so stupid.
It's like it's hard for me to admit
that I want to be with someone.
Why would you be embarrassed?
Because...
Because I fell for the feminist idea
that women have to have a career and be strong.
It's like I have to pretend I don't need anyone
when in reality, I do.
I come home and I don't even have a cat because I'm alone.
I feel like...
My life's slipping away and I'm never going to find anyone...
Not even someone who wants to sleep with me.
Oh, please, Arelys! What's the matter with you?
There are plenty of women like you.
Professional women all over the world who are alone.
I know that's not comforting, but that's the way it is.
And what am I supposed to do?
Must I be content with being alone?
Well...
I wouldn't advise that.
I'd advise you to go a little crazy... and be happy.
Get a little crazy?
Yeah.
Me too?
Yeah.
I really missed you, guys!
Chema, let me see those teeth.
Like this.
Damn, those are big!
He looks like a crocodile, right?
Look at him.
What about you, guys? Cat got your tongue?
Give me a hug. Come on.
I'll love you as much as Nazareno loved you.
You're going to have a great grandpa.
This is Eugenia.
Eugenia? Nice to meet you.
You're a pretty little lady. Well, a princess.
-Are you happy to be here? -Yeah.
I'm glad.
This is Nazareno. He's named after his dad.
What's up, Nazareno? Nice to meet you.
What about him?
He's very serious and handsome.
This is Arturo, my youngest.
What's up, Arturo?
-You've got really great kids. -Thanks.
And don't be shy around here, alright?
We're family after all.
We like having a good time here, right?
Yeah.
-Vitaminas. -Sir.
Give me the envelope.
Yes, sir.
There's a bit of money there to make sure you guys are okay.
Thanks, Mr. Aurelio.
On behalf of all of us. Thank you.
Don't worry about it.
Alright.
Let's go to bed. It's late.
I'll read you a story.
Yay!
Vitaminas, tell Javier to meet me in my study.
Right.
Thanks.
So?
Give me that.
You know...
I've been thinking about opening a branch in Mexico.
Juan Carlos, why don't we try something different?
How about opening a foundation?
An organization to help people with drug problems.
I like that.
I think it's time we reassessed a lot of things.
Including our relationship.
Did you call Cecilia to tell her we're sleeping together
and that you want to get back together with me?
No, I don't have to run and tell Cecilia everything I do.
Really?
I'm starting to feel like the other woman, you know.
Like the one who's breaking a marriage apart.
Pina, you're not breaking anything apart.
Besides, my relationship with Cecilia
isn't anything out of the ordinary.
On the contrary, we've gone with the flow.
Haven't you ever felt that way?
It must be very sad to have to pretend
like everything's alright.
Come on.
Juan Carlos, before I get into this mess,
you need to redefine certain things in your life.
I was looking at you while you ate.
You're an elegant, intelligent, and sophisticated woman.
How could you let things with Aurelio get to where they got?
It's simple.
Men like you are very good persuadiers.
Wait a second.
Are you putting me in the same boat as Aurelio?
-Are we that similar? -No, you two are nothing alike.
I'm only talking about power.
You're similar in that way. Power is very seductive.
Sometimes it can weaken smart and cunning women like myself.
Sorry for my lack of modesty.
Don't apologize.
I love when people know their worth and fight for respect.
I'm happy you're here.
And I'm happy about our alliance.
Cheers.
And thank you for everything, Tony.
It's been a while since I felt comfortable anywhere.
I'm happy to hear that.
But I'm going to have to ask you again.
Have you thought about what I said?
I wanted to talk to Monica before making my decision.
This would be the third time I'd be starting over
and now I don't know what to do with my life.
You're a direct and formidable woman.
I apologize if I seem to be rushing you.
That's not my intention.
I want you to relax and have a good time.
I've called a few friends so they can join us
if you don't mind.
Wow.
I thought you were into Monica.
I am. I really like her.
But she doesn't want anything right now, so in the meantime,
there's no harm in having fun, right?
Right.
Alright, then. Let's have some fun.
Cheers.
MEXICO CITY
Real estate has grown 30% in Mexico City and Yucatan
compared to the previous six-year period.
I know, Omar, but people always want to talk crap.
You're a badass, though.
Oh, stop.
I admire you for that.
Don't kiss my ass. It's not necessary.
It's Paloma.
Don't answer. Don't.
Let her suffer.
Make her feel like you don't care about her.
Omar, I need to ask you something and be honest.
Why the hostility towards Paloma?
You've no idea how much I'd love it
if my late wife Leonor or Rutila were in her place.
I was forced into marrying her and I don't care about her.
And when I don't care about someone,
I start despising them.
But I didn't come to talk about that.
I want to see what these two have to offer.
Come with me.
You too.
Alright, what about you?
What new tricks are you going to show me?
-------.
Why won't you answer me, bastard?
It's been a while since Paloma's been out in public.
They're not even trying to keep up appearances.
I know Omar. He's not good at pretending.
He can't pretend to be happy with her.
He hates her. I told you.
Who wouldn't? She's so boring.
Well...
What's up with you two? -
Are the stepmom and stepdaughter catching up?
You're in a mood.
Why don't you join us and have some tequila?
No, thanks.
How are you doing, Monica?
From what I can tell, I'm a lot better than you.
She's right. What's up?
Why the long face?
Dad's a son of a bitch.
And you're just finding out?
He's here, isn't he?
Yeah, he's been talking to Javier for a long time
and I'm so hungry.
What'd he do to you?
He asked Greñas to keep an eye on my girlfriend, the bastard.
----.
Did he find out something?
He did. That's the worst part.
But so what? I don't care.
Why can't he mind his own business?
Here.
Thanks.
I think the worse thing you can do
is think that you're the reason you're alone.
It's not you, it's the circumstances or something.
But we can change the circumstances.
What are you talking about?
There's a lot we can do together.
We can find you someone and I can talk to Gustavo.
What?
I'm not hooking up with your husband.
No! Of course not.
So?
You're choosing your drug trafficking boyfriend?
No, no. I'd love to, but I can't.
-I have my kids to think about. -Yeah.
They're in a lot of danger with him...
And so am I.
I just don't want to keep lying to Gustavo.
I stopped loving him a long time ago.
I have no reason to keep doing this.
Be careful, Paulina.
I will be.
You see?
Your problem's a lot easier to fix than mine.
We just have to find you a man to quench your thirst
and that's it.
I'll help you.
Love is something different, though.
I loved Gustavo, but I don't anymore.
Hey, Javi. Have they been nice to you here?
Are you happy? Are you comfortable?
Aurelio, I know you must have a lot of questions
and with good reason.
But I don't even know what's happening to me.
All I know is that something is happening to me.
I won't lie to you.
So what's it going to be?
Are you going to ask for Rutila's hand in marriage,
do her wrong,
or will you become my enemy just like Chema?
Come on, Aurelio?
How can you compare me with Chema?
You've known me for a long time and you know how I am.
We're thick as thieves.
You know I'd never hurt your daughter.
I respect her.
You need to give respect to earn respect.
I know that.
And don't think I'm defending Rutila's honor.
My daughter's a grown woman.
I know you're not Chema or that Teran idiot.
And I also know you were doing business, right?
That's where it all started.
I came to give her the money,
then I started telling her about coltan...
And then it just happened.
Yeah, Rutila wants to do things the right way.
And if that works for you, that's good.
She won't have to be in danger all the time like I am.
All parents should want that for their children.
At least that's what I think.
Look, I'm just worried about the past.
I'm worried that my enemies or my so-called allies
might come after you.
Do you think I trust Teran?
