LADY ALTAGRACIA
I know I asked you a very personal question.
I just want you to know that you can count on me.
I love you fully,
regardless of your past and your present.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, completely.
I asked you that time at the beach.
I've always had a feeling you were hurt at some point.
That fueled your hatred against men...
and your fear of giving yourself to me.
If anyone's raped you, I want to know.
I want to take better care of you
and love you all the more.
I want to assure you
that it's never going to happen again.
Justice will prevail.
That man must pay for his crimes.
Look at me.
Don't be afraid.
You can share your pain with me.
Trust me.
It's late.
I have to go back home.
I'm going to change.
Spray ammonium wherever there's blood.
Make sure there are no splatters.
Which one is Felipe's phone?
It's the black phone.
The yellow phone was the woman's.
Did you make sure his assistant sent a message
to the prostitute?
Yes.
Okay.
It's registered to the phone company.
We're almost ready.
I'm going to take the phones back to the room.
You arrived showing signs of hypertension, Lazaro...
but that's not what worries me the most.
Must be the weather.
I feel fine.
It's probably because we got into a fight, Doctor.
If it's my fault he's in this condition, I'll be so upset.
No.
His hands are trembling slightly
and he can't focus his vision.
They could be symptoms of something worse.
I've felt this way before.
I've felt dizzy... but look at me.
I'm still alive.
I think you're exaggerating.
It's nothing out of the ordinary.
Well, the right thing to do would be to run some tests.
We wish we could,
but Monica hasn't been able to gather up enough money yet.
She's been earning more money lately,
but she still has to buy his medications.
Well, say no more.
Lazaro's already here.
Run all the necessary tests on him.
I'll cover all the expenses.
No!
I don't want your handouts.
No, Lazaro. It's not a handout.
Everything we have now was originally yours.
Doctor.
Might I talk to you for a second?
Sure.
I ran into Jorge by sheer coincidence.
What a coincidence!
Gabino's the kind of guy
who locks himself up in the bathroom to take selfies.
He takes ten, erases five,
and puts a crazy filter on four of them.
Then he uploads the edgiest one on Facebook
and captions it, "Just chillin'."
You just happened to run into Jorge, huh?
Come on! No!
I was going to go out with some friends,
but I decided to pass by...
and invite you girls out to dance.
Why the hell would we pay to get into a club?
The mice have come out to play
now that the tomcat's out looking for a feline.
Lydia, enough joking around.
No way!
You mean your dad's not coming home tonight?
No... but that doesn't mean we're partying it up tonight.
Might I remind you
that we have to wake up early tomorrow?
Yeah, same here.
I told the boys I'd help them find a soccer field
for them to practice on.
What boys?
Some thugs we found on the street earlier.
Well, they weren't really thugs.
They were just some kids playing on the street.
Gabino didn't arrest them. He gave them a second chance.
Really?
That's really sweet of you.
Come on. Enough talking about me.
Coming!
Jorge!
Come on in.
Sure.
I brought some 40s!
Aw, yeah!
Why the long faces?
Were you girls praying?
I'm not heading into war without some ammo.
I brought you a cumbia CD, too.
Really?
Top 100 Hits?
No way!
You know, I think I'm gonna go.
No! Why are you leaving?
The party's just getting started.
How about some beer?
No, thanks.
Come on.
I don't get it.
Why isn't Monica here with her father?
She's always watching out for him.
I'm here, Doctor.
I'm practically family.
Lazaro doesn't want to burden his daughter.
She has enough to deal with as it is.
She has to work all day to pay for his meds.
There may be some cause for worry.
What do you mean, Doctor?
Lazaro's exhibiting symptoms that have nothing to do
with the exams we ran on him regarding his disabilities.
What do you mean? I don't get it.
You performed X-rays on him when I first brought him in
and he seemed just fine.
Yes, but there are diseases that don't show up on X-rays
or blood tests.
I'm ordering a brain MRI.
Why?
What kind of disease might he have?
Look, I don't want to rush to give a diagnosis
prior to receiving any test results...
but if I were Lazaro, I'd take up that lady's offer.
It's a shame your father isn't here.
I would've liked to meet him.
Yeah.
I feel sorry for him, honestly.
He's been alone his whole life.
I'm all he has.
Until that lady friend of his showed up.
But as Lydia says,
he deserves to be happy at least.
You're so pretty. I'm sure he loves you a lot.
I mean, not just 'cause you're pretty,
but because it's just you two.
What I'm getting at is,
it's tough to raise a daughter on your own.
I don't think I'd be able to.
What do you mean?
You're good with kids.
That's just when it comes to sports...
Well, I'm also a good dancer.
I'm not dancing with you.
Last time I did, you kissed me without permission.
That's right! I totally forgot.
You forgot?
I mean, I forgot about the dancing.
Not the kiss.
Right, right.
You're something else.
You see? Damn.
What?
I get stupid around you.
Well you said it, not me.
I'm not going to pay for your tests
using Altagracia's money.
I have some savings.
It's all the same.
You've only managed to save up money
because your sister pays for everything.
I don't want Altagracia's money.
Lazaro!
Altagracia's fortune was founded with your money.
It's only fair that you receive some payback
through Regina's help.
Lazaro, you welcomed me into your home
when I was just a girl.
I have very fond memories of you.
You were so generous towards me.
Yes, I remember.
You were a good girl...
but in time, I'm sure your sister poisoned you.
Please.
I beg you. Let me help.
Altagracia, my daughter,
and Aunt Yesenia are all the family I have left.
Lazaro.
Regina has shown she's trustworthy.
She's known that your daughter's in town,
yet she hasn't told anyone.
Nor will I. You have my word.
I'd also like to help your daughter.
She's family, too.
I don't need anything, Rosalba.
Thank you very much.
You may rest now.
Goodnight, ma'am.
Good night.
The guards aren't letting me go out
in my new car.
Why have a new car if I can't use it?
Oh, sweetie.
You can use it, Isabela.
But only if you go out with Diego.
That was the deal.
It's like you're trying to buy me into dating him.
I only want what's best for you.
I told you. Diego's a good kid.
He won't hurt you, unlike...
Let me guess.
Unlike all the other worthless men.
I heard what Felipe said on TV.
I care about him,
but you don't deserve to be slandered like that.
It's not fair.
Don't worry about what he said.
It's not about what you heard.
It's about what stays in your heart.
As long as you know who I am and you love me as such,
that's more than enough for me to guard myself
against Felipe's offenses.
If you want me to be at ease, you must let me protect you.
This can't wait till tomorrow, Rafael.
Tell me why you went to see Felipe.
I had to be there
to ensure that everything was done correctly.
The rest is up to them.
Rafael.
I know what Altagracia is planning
to get revenge on Felipe.
I know what she's capable of
in order to get people out of her way.
I know you know that.
We both know.
What's your point?
You shouldn't have gone to see Felipe.
Rafael, it's one thing to guard Altagracia's image,
but that's our only job.
Getting involved in her dirty work
is something completely different.
Look, Leticia.
Do you think I'd be capable of killing someone?
That's not what I meant, Rafael.
Then go to sleep. Get some rest.
We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow.
Hey! Up, up, up!
We've got to wake up early tomorrow.
Mona! It's still early!
Monica's right. I'm going to bed.
Oh, come on! Wait.
One more.
Come on, girl. Stay awhile.
I'm heading out.
Would you mind seeing me out?
Who, me?
Yes... by ourselves.
Alright.
See you.
One more dance?
The truth is, I promised I wouldn't keep lying to you
as a means of getting closer to you.
Jorge had nothing to do with me coming over today.
It was my idea, not his.
Really?
Well, I kind of already knew that.
Who gets women?
You lie to them and they get mad.
You tell them the truth and they laugh at you!
I'm not laughing at you.
I just thought it was funny
you felt the need to explain the obvious.
Obvious?
You mean it's obvious I'm crazy about you?
Gabino...
Look.
I knew I was going to swing by, so I brought you a present.
Really?
Yeah. Open it.
It's gold!
It's really cute. Thanks, but...
It's 24 karat gold.
If it looks a bit worn,
it's because it belonged to my late mother.
-It was your mother's? -Yes.
No, Gabino. Hold up.
I can't accept this.
Please, Monica.
Please don't turn down a loving gift.
I don't want you feeling pressured,
but take it as a nice gesture.
-Gabino, I... -Good evening!
What's with you girls?
All women are the same.
"I don't know if he's the one."
I say, while waiting for Mr. Right,
why not spend some time with Mr. Wrong?
Don't get it twisted, you jerk!
What's wrong? I didn't even come on strong!
"I didn't even come on strong!" Are you drunk?
Don't you know what Mago's been through?
Oh, crap.
So she was the one who showed up and passed out downstairs?
She said a man had raped her.
And killed her mother.
No wonder she's so shy!
Poor girl.
She's just so cute, though!
Stop it, Jorge.
Enough, you womanizer.
Don't you dare go near Mago again.
Attorney! I see you're still standing.
It's a shame your case is still lagging behind.
The guy who shot you knew how to cover his tracks.
It's funny you didn't even catch his shadow.
Are you going to continue drilling me
with personal questions?
What do you mean by personal?
The thing is, at the hospital,
I asked him if he had a wife or lover
that might've incited the attack.
Right.
Jot this down if you want.
My favorite color is green.
I'm also an Aries.
Anything else?
Want to know my favorite soccer team?
No.
We'll place our bets later.
You know why?
In every soccer match, no matter how good,
there's only one winner.
Monica, I've got to go.
Your house was lovely and I enjoyed your company.
We had a great time together.
Thank you.
Attorney.
I didn't know... you were dating Mr. Policeman.
I also don't know who your mystery woman is.
You see?
We both have our secrets.
We're not as close as we thought.
Coming.
Coming!
