- You're like a little girl with big dreams,
but the blow Samuel's going to level at you
will leave you shaking when you wake up to reality.
If you don't join me, you're done for, Muriel.
- Why did they say that you're throwing things on the ground,
that you're putting make-up all over your face?
All I ask is that you be honest with me.
You know I'd never judge you.
- I keep thinking and thinking about it and all I can see
is this blurry image of a monster in my memories.
I don't know what happened to me.
- Having Romina near the hacienda is dangerous
and I have to charge you for getting her out of there.
- I don't like what your mother's doing.
I'm scared she'll try something.
- We're going to defend our love
from jealous, bitter people like you.
- I'm worried about Juan David
and his relationship with Muriel.
- Why, did he mention something?
- No, but you can tell they're in love.
Rosario Montes can't be trusted.
That woman could complicate their lives.
- You are not my daughter! You are my enemy!
- Run, Muriel! She's going to hurt you!
- Rosario and Muriel got into a huge fight
and she kicked her out of the house.
- We have to find her immediately.
- I'm looking for Jimena or her husband Oscar,
the owners of this establishment.
- Come back tomorrow when they're working.
- Sir!
Andres: Stop, stop!
Muriel! Muriel!
Albin: Hey, hey! Get out of here!
What's your problem?
- It's okay. It's over now.
There, there.
Everything's going to be okay.
Try to relax.
- She asleep?
- Yeah, she's out like a light.
What did you give her?
- A double dosage of her sedative
to keep her in line at least until tomorrow.
Let's see how she reacts after tonight's uproar.
- It's too bad.
Our patrons will really miss her.
They're going to ask about her.
- The important thing is that Muriel turns up.
- By the way, did you really go look for her like you said?
- I called the police. Let's hope they find her.
It's not a big town,
and I don't think she'll get far without any money.
- She does have a lot of friends.
Like Andres Reyes, who went looking for her,
but no word on if he's found her yet.
- Muriel has to come back.
Rosario has no control over her daughter.
Samuel Caballero is the one calling the shots.
Let's hope nothing bad happens to her because if not,
it'd be best if Rosario never awoke from her current slumber.
- Don't move. I don't want to hurt you.
That's it.
That's it. Very good.
Let's see.
There we go.
- I knew this would happen sooner or later,
and I'm not surprised.
What I wasn't expecting was for my mom to be so aggressive.
- How can a mother raise her hand to her daughter
and leave her with nothing?
- Muriel, if you need money or anything else,
you know you can count on us.
- I'm fine.
Even if I didn't have a dime, I regret nothing.
- That's the spirit.
I have a proposition for you. Let's see what you think.
Stay here with us.
- That's a great idea. You can stay here.
We'll set you up with your own space.
You'll love it and you'll have everything you need.
- I can't.
I don't want to be a bother and get in the way.
- What are you talking about, Muriel?
You're not in our way. There's room to spare.
Besides, we know each other.
- I also happen to be fond of you two.
I'm so grateful to you both.
- There, there. It's over now.
[Knocking]
- Why haven't you come down?
Aren't you having dinner tonight?
- Uh... yeah.
I'm not very hungry.
- You seem nervous. What's the matter?
- Muriel's not answering.
- It happens when you're in love.
You go a few seconds without talking to each other
and lose your minds.
- I wish it were that,
but she's been having lots of problems with Rosario
and I'm worried.
- Stop driving yourself crazy with this and come down to eat.
- Okay.
- Somebody else with no idea where Muriel is.
- Andres, I can't cause you more problems with my mother.
You work with her.
- Your mother can fire me if she wants.
Your friendship is much more important to me than some job.
- It's not just the job.
She'd make life for you and Albin hell.
I have to leave this town. I can't stay here.
I asked your mom once if I could stay at her house.
Can I make a phone call?
- Of course. She'll obviously say yes.
My mom really likes you. Call her.
- If she says no, I'll have to make a decision
that'll be disastrous for her and for my father.
- What are you talking about?
- It's something I'll have to do sooner or later.
Can I borrow your phone?
- Of course.
But first, let's get you patched up, okay?
So you can be as pretty as always.
Alright.
Look up. That's it.
And don't move. I don't want to hurt you.
Look up. That's it.
- Don't worry, Uncle Oscar. We were busy too.
It's too late to meet anyway. Maybe tomorrow.
- Ask him how Aunt Jimena's doing.
- How's Aunt Jimena?
- Much better, thank God.
I'm going to see to her recovery personally.
- Tell her we'll visit tomorrow.
That way, we can talk to you too.
Alright, good night.
- We don't have much to talk about with him.
It's gonna be a quick visit.
- You and I need to have a serious talk, though.
Our fates depend on what we do.
- Her blood pressure's a little high.
Given her symptoms,
I would guess she consumed a narcotic or similar substance.
- I also know you stand to gain a lot.
Don't abandon her.
Keep up the monthly payments to her
and I promise I'll get her out of that mill house.
That way, she won't bother you or your wife.
- What are you thinking about?
- About not wanting you to worry about anything anymore.
The negotiations with the people from the millhouse will go well.
They'll be gone in no more than a month.
When they're finally out, I myself will demolish that house
so that nobody else will ever invade our lives.
- I don't want you to do that.
Don't do that.
I only asked you to come with me
because I wanted to see the conditions they're living in.
Especially the child. I worry about him.
- What child?
- The one who came the other night.
I don't want to jeopardize that child or his parents.
- Nobody will be jeopardized.
I couldn't hurt anybody, much less an innocent child.
Stop thinking about it so much and calm down.
Everything's going to be fine.
- Welcome. Make yourself at home.
I'm happy to have you here, dear.
- I'm very grateful to you, Sarita.
I don't know if Andres explained...
- Yes, he explained, so there's no need to go over it again.
Let's not relive that.
You can talk to us whenever you want if you need to.
- It's great that you're here, Muriel.
Consider this your home.
- Thanks to you too, Gaby.
I never thought I'd meet people as nice as all of you.
- All us Reyes-Elizondos are special,
but this is the best place of all.
We're going to protect and take care of you like you deserve.
- Mom, Albin and I have to go to San Marcos.
- You're going to perform at the bar now?
- No, someone is replacing me, especially given what happened.
- Very well. Now you can't say no.
You're staying for dinner. Irene made some delicious.
Spend some time with us
as we properly welcome this lovely young lady to our home.
- What have you decided?
- We're doing it alone.
- Will Uncle Oscar buy our story?
- He'll believe it.
He's too preoccupied with Aunt Jimena.
Besides, he knows the extortionist is no professional,
just some dope trying to take advantage of us.
- Let's hope we don't blow this.
- And if we do, oh well.
We have to deal with whatever comes our way.
We've had enough.
We have to stop causing the family headaches.
- Yeah.
We're too old to behave like stupid little kids.
We got in this mess ourselves
and we'll get out of it ourselves.
- We have to think about the last part of it.
- Who's going to pull the trigger?
