Lo que la vida me robó (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 46 - Josefina encuentra a Dimitrio - full transcript
♪♪♪
- I offered you my friendship
and what did you do, you creep?
You went there to steal my wife
from me. You slept with her.
- What are you talking about,
Alejandro?
- You really want to know,
Jose Luis Alvarez?
- What-- Jose Luis--
I'm not--wait!
- Who's Jose Luis Alvarez?
- Are you okay,
did he hurt you?
- No.
What are you doing here?
- I came for you.
- Why?
- To ask you to come back
with me to the ranch.
- Hold on, do you really
want me to go back to the ranch?
- Yes.
- Does that mean
you forgive me?
- I want you there, that's all.
- All right,
just let me get my things.
I'm staying at a room downtown,
I won't be long.
- I'll buy whatever you need,
expensive clothing,
whatever you ask.
You're not going back
as an employee, Maria,
you'll be the lady
of the house.
Starting today,
you'll be my partner.
- Did I hear that right?
Your partner?
- Yes, that's what I said.
- But I don't understand,
what about your wife?
- Montserrat doesn't live
at the ranch anymore.
- What, she left?
She left you, right?
She finally managed to escape
and she abandoned you.
- No, Maria, I kicked her out.
She's out of my life forever.
- Oh, my God.
- Let's see.
There.
- Oh, look at that.
- Everything looks great, ma'am.
- Really?
- You can see the baby, right?
- Yes.
Can we know
if it's a boy or a girl yet?
- No, not yet,
it's still very small,
she's only eight weeks pregnant.
But everything looks fine.
- How could your husband
miss this, honey?
Alejandro should be here.
Look, look, it's my grandchild.
My grandchild.
[sobs]
- Could you get some sleep?
- No, you?
- No, me neither.
- Listen, do you really think
Captain Robledo
will be able to help us?
- I don't know, I hope so.
I wonder if he's made a decision
yet, I'd like to know it.
- Who hit you?
- Your brother-in-law.
- Alejandro?
- Yes, yes.
I just went to the pier to meet
with Maria and we were talking
when Alejandro
showed up in a rage.
He started to accuse me
and call me Jose Luis Alvarez.
- He must've found out
that my sister and Jose Luis
were lying to him
this whole time.
- Maybe,
but why is that my fault?
- It's your dumb face, bro.
- Look who's talking.
- Godmother, I'm so nervous.
- Me too.
- Refugio and Jose Luis have
been talking to Captain Robledo
for a long time now.
- What do you think he decided?
- I'm afraid the captain
won't believe them
and send them back to jail.
- Calm down, girls,
my brother is a just man
and a great person.
Besides, he knows
about the injustices
Jose Luis
and Refugio suffered.
I'm sure he'll do
everything in his power
to repair the damage
that's been done to them.
- What happened?
What happened?
- What did he say?
Where's Jose Luis?
- He's still talking
to Captain Robledo.
He asked me to leave them
alone, that's why I'm here.
- But what did he say?
Will he help you?
- Did he believe you?
- I don't know.
- I'm not surprised to
hear this about Efrain Loreto.
We suspected at the navy
that Agua Azul's chief of police
was a crook.
We even started
to investigate him.
What I do find surprising is
that you saved Almonte's life
knowing that man married
the woman you loved.
Tell me something,
Alejandro never suspected
you were Montserrat's
former boyfriend?
- I guess not.
Although,
I have to admit, Captain,
that when I first
arrived at the ranch,
I had hard feelings
for Alejandro.
But little by little, as time
passed, I grew fond of him.
He didn't know anything about
me when he married Montserrat.
- So you don't have a grudge
against him anymore?
- I even think he started
to care about me.
- Not about you, Alvarez, about
Antonio Olivares, you mean.
You have to understand
that if your name is cleared
and you go back to the navy,
Alejandro will find out
you deceived him.
You might avoid prison,
but you'll put Montserrat
in big trouble.
- Yes, you're right.
- You have to talk to Alejandro
and clear the air,
explain everything
that you told me.
- Yes, I'll do that
as soon as I get to Agua Azul.
I'll go see Alejandro
and tell him my version.
The only thing that worries me
is that, once he finds out
I'm Jose Luis Alvarez, he might
get angry at Montserrat.
You know what, Captain?
I think the best
would be to disappear.
- No, that would have
more negative
than positive consequences.
A lot of people know
you're not Antonio Olivares.
Look, for Montserrat's sake,
you have to confront him before
someone else tells Alejandro
who the man that was working
at his ranch really was.
Jose Luis,
do you still love that girl?
- That's in the past, Captain.
Montserrat is in love
with another man now.
Right now,
I'm completely focused
on my life with Angelica.
- And do you love her?
- Yes, I love her very much.
As soon as I marry her,
I'll make her the happiest woman
on earth.
- I still can't believe
you kicked your wife
out of the ranch.
- You're my partner now.
- But why did you kick her out?
- What do you care?
From now on, you'll be
the boss in this house.
You'll sleep with me
in my bedroom
and everyone will
have to do as you say.
- I can't believe it.
You're not lying, are you?
- I don't have a reason to lie.
If you don't believe me,
go to my room, search the house
and you'll see
there's nothing of hers left.
- And you, do you know why
Alejandro threw his wife out?
- No, I don't know anything.
But I don't like this one bit.
- You better stay out of this,
and don't even think about
turning him against me or
you'll know what I'm capable of.
You're finally mine,
completely mine.
- Of course, honey, when that
bastard Alejandro found out,
he kicked your sister out.
And with good reason, you know.
We should thank God he didn't
beat her up and kill her.
- How can you say that, Mom?
My sister is pregnant.
- Oh, I shudder to think
that baby might be
that lousy marine's
instead of Alejandro's.
- Then why doesn't Alejandro
take a DNA test?
- Yes, I thought about that,
I'll tell him as soon as I can
get in touch with him.
I have to make him forgive her,
no matter what.
And most of all,
to recognize the child.
I didn't work hard to marry
your sister to an Almonte
to have the inheritance slip through my
hands once again, no way.
- What do you mean, once again?
- We need to be very discreet,
your father doesn't know anything yet.
He thinks his little princess
is staying here for a few days
just because her doctor is here.
- Well, I think dad
should know everything.
- Geez, Dimitrio, you're trying
to give the old man
a heart attack or what?
- No, but I think he has a right
to know what his daughter's
really like, because I'm always
the bad guy, you know?
- You need Jesus, baby,
you need Jesus.
- Whatever.
- Oh, we're exhausted.
Guess what, dear, Lauro bought
presents for his grandchild.
He emptied out the stores.
- Don't even bother.
I'm leaving. Bye, Mom.
- I entrust you to God,
the archangels and the angels, my baby.
- It's awful the way they
treated you, I'm really sorry.
- Why did your brother say that?
Is there anything I should know?
- Come with me, Graciela.
- What did you buy?
- I'll show you everything,
it's all beautiful.
- I want to see the baby stuff,
dear, show me.
[clears throat]
- I made a decision.
I'm going to help you.
- I knew you would do the right
thing, Ignacio, thank you.
- I really appreciate it,
Captain.
- Thank you, Captain.
- Thank you so much, Captain.
If you ever go to "La Escondida"
order only the best drinks,
it's all on me.
- Oh, Esmeralda.
Captain, of course it's a joke.
- Come on, I'm not
offering him a private dance.
- Oh, Esmeralda, shut up, dear.
- I only have one condition.
You'll have to talk
to your parents, Angelica,
and let them know you're staying
at your godmother's house
and that you're all right.
Look, I know you're of legal age
and you don't need your parents'
permission to get married,
but they should know about it,
it's the right thing to do.
Especially since they've been
so worried since you left.
- Yes, Captain, it's just
that-- I'm afraid they won't
let me get married.
- Don't worry, darling,
I'll convince them.
- Okay.
- I'm going back
to Agua Azul tonight
to start working
on your case.
Let me warn you, though,
it won't be easy at all,
but I can assure you,
you won't put one foot in jail.
Anyway, in order to clear things
up, I'm going to need you to be
at the naval base
in a couple of days.
- Of course, Captain.
- Whenever you say, Captain,
we'll be there, right, bro?
- Yes, sir.
- What if we make a toast
for the couple's happiness,
Jose Luis and my
beloved Angelica?
- Yes.
- And to Refugio and Esmeralda.
- We're already happy,
aren't we?
- Yes, honey.
- Let's make a toast.
- Thank you, Captain.
- Here, pass them along.
- Wow, the godmother
had everything ready.
All right, we're all set.
- Okay, let's toast then.
- Cheers.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Hi!
- Ah, Macario, what a surprise.
How are you?
What can I do for you?
Come in, sit down.
- Thank you, Father.
I'm very worried.
- Is there anything wrong?
- No, I'm fine,
but Alejandro is in trouble.
- Why, what is it?
- He had a fight with his wife
and he even kicked her
out of the ranch.
- What?
But why?
- Well, actually, I don't know,
and actually,
I haven't talked to him,
you know how moody he gets.
- But when did that happen?
- Last night.
But he not only kicked
Mrs. Montserrat out,
he also fired Rosarito.
She left with the lady, all sad
and crying, the poor thing.
- Dear Virgin, but something
horrible must've happened.
- Yes, Father,
because that's not all.
I don't mean to pry or anything,
but Alejandro went to get Maria
and shipped her back home.
He told her
that starting today,
she will be the lady
of the house,
and he even lets her sleep
in Mrs. Montserrat's bedroom,
can you believe it?
- Let's go right now.
This is outrageous.
- Why won't you eat?
Dominga made a delicious stew.
- I'm not hungry.
- Stop thinking about her,
she's not worth it.
I always said she was
a hypocrite and didn't love you.
I don't know why you kicked
her out, but you did right.
Can I tell you something?
I'm sure she was cheating
on you with Antonio Olivares.
- Why do you say that?
- I noticed the way
they looked at each other.
Besides, I saw her in his house
once, they were arguing.
The foreman was complaining
because he saw her kissing you.
I'm so sure there was something
going on between them
that I asked Antonio
if he had met her in Agua Azul.
He said no,
but I didn't believe him.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- So you could get mad at me?
You never spent time with me,
you were on the clouds
thanks to that woman,
blind to everything else.
It was a mistake marrying her.
Can I tell you something else?
Both she and her brother
lied to you when they told you
I had stolen the money
you had here.
That box Rosario found in
my room, my uncle gave it to me.
I don't know if he had anything
to do with the robbery, but
that's why you found me arguing
with Adolfo at Agua Azul's pier.
I was asking him
if my uncle Juventino helped him
steal that money
from your office.
[knocks on door]
- Alejandro, Father Anselmo is
here, he wants to talk to you.
♪♪♪
♪♪♪
- Alejandro, son,
we have a lot to talk about.
- Leave us alone.
- What happened, Alejandro?
- I realized that my wife,
the woman I gave my name to
and loved with all my heart,
is the worst woman there is.
- But why do you say that?
- Because while I was begging
her for one loving gesture,
one caress, she was having fun
here, under my own roof
and right in front of me,
with her lover.
- No, God, no.
- Yes, with Jose Luis Alvarez,
who turned out to be my foreman.
That traitor passed himself off
as Antonio Olivares.
Did you know about that?
- Yes, I did, son.
- And you didn't tell me?
You let me ridicule myself?
You let them make fun of me
and laugh at me in my face?
How could you do that!
Why didn't you say--
and you even told me Montserrat
was a good woman,
that I should be tolerant.
Why didn't you warn me?
- Because I know you,
Alejandro, I know how you are.
If I had told you, you would've
gotten blood on your hands
just to quench your thirst
for vengeance.
And God doesn't allow anyone
to take another man's life.
- But he does allow us
to deceive and lie and cheat?
- Calm down, son, calm down.
That never happened.
- Oh, didn't it?
Then who's the father
of Montserrat's baby?
Because it isn't mine!
- How can you say that?
That child is yours.
- How can you be sure?
Tell me, how can you be sure
that baby is mine?
- Montserrat is incapable of--
- No, Montserrat is capable
of all the worst things!
The dirtiest things.
As soon as she realized that
bastard had gotten her pregnant,
she changed her attitude
toward me to seduce me,
to force me to go to bed
with her and have me believe
that baby is mine.
[phone ringing]
- Hello.
[Angelica] Hi, Mom.
- Angelica.
Where are you?
How are you, sweetheart?
Tell me that swine
didn't do anything to you.
- Mom, calm down, I'm great.
- Really, you're okay?
- Yes, Mom, I promise.
Hold on a second,
someone wants to talk to you.
- Okay, okay, let me talk to
that man, I'll give him anything
he asks to have you
back home, sweetheart.
- No, Mom, it's not Jose Luis
who wants to talk to you.
Wait a second.
- No, no, Angelica, wait!
Tell me where--
[Prudencia] Your daughter
is with me, Amelia.
- Prudencia?
- Yes, that's me.
[Amelia]
And Angelica is with you?
How did she get there?
Oh, Prudencia, please, tell me
my daughter is all right.
- Try to calm down,
I need you to listen to me.
The doctor ran some tests
on my goddaughter
and the results are not good.
The cancer is back,
there's nothing
the doctors can do for her.
- No.
Don't say that.
[Prudencia] I'm sorry
I was so straightforward,
but you needed to know.
I need you to tell me
something very important.
- What would you be willing to--
- Yes, yes, we'll take her
to another doctor for more
tests and a second opinion.
Yes, we'll do that.
- Don't interrupt me,
Amelia, please.
I'm not talking about
doctors and hospitals,
that's not what I want
for my goddaughter.
I'm talking about her happiness
during her last months,
so listen carefully
and answer my question, please.
What would you be willing to do
to ensure your daughter's
happiness before she dies?
- Anything.
- Then I need you to
come over here so we can talk.
But please, don't tell
your husband that Angelica
is staying with me just yet.
Can you promise me that, Amelia?
- Alejandro, son...
you need to calm down.
Otherwise, you won't be able
to think reasonably.
- I'm aware now, and now is
when I'm learning the truth.
- I can assure you that
Montserrat didn't deceive you
the way you think she did.
The presence of that guy
in this house tormented her.
- Take my advice, Father,
open your eyes, just like I did.
I'm sure Montserrat
didn't tell you the truth,
she's an expert at faking,
everything she says is a lie.
- No, son, no.
Nobody lies
to their Father Confessor.
- You're so naive, Father.
You know nothing about
people's wickedness.
- And I suppose
you're an expert, right?
You think what you're doing
is right?
You went to get Maria and
brought her back to this house
and you put her in charge
as if she were the owner.
Yes, that's right,
Macario told me.
Why did you do that, son?
What are you doing?
- That's none of your business.
- Of course it is. Whatever
happens to you is my business.
- I don't think so.
If that were true, you would've
warned me that Jose Luis Alvarez
was on my lands.
- Try to understand, I didn't
tell you because I didn't want
you to do something terrible.
And besides, because--
because Montserrat
confessed it
under the seal of confession.
It's not your wife's fault, son.
That man came here
of his own accord,
and she tried and tried
to convince him to leave.
- Don't fool yourself, Father.
The last time Montserrat
tried to run away,
that guy had already been
at the ranch for days.
She wasn't trying to convince
him to leave, she was trying
to run away with him.
- Well, son, she was confused,
I don't know, desperate.
She herself didn't know
what she wanted.
- Right.
- Try to understand, son.
Your wife made her share
of mistakes, sure,
but she didn't do what
you're accusing her of doing.
- That's your opinion,
not mine.
So stop insisting, Father.
I've made my decision
and no one will convince me
to change it.
Not even you,
so don't bother.
[Father Anselmo sighs]
- Alejandro, son,
you're wrong.
And I hope it's not too late
when you realize that.
Good afternoon, son.
- When Susana told me you were
here, I couldn't believe it.
When did you arrive?
- Last night.
I'm very tired, I had
a very complicated day today.
I went to my gynecologist
and then my dad took me shopping
for things for the baby, and--
I couldn't come see you
until now.
- So Alejandro brought you here
so you could see your doctor.
How's the pregnancy going?
- Alejandro didn't come.
- Why not?
- He kicked me out.
Alejandro doesn't want me
in his life anymore,
he doesn't want to hear
from me nor our baby.
- Did he find out--
- Yes, he knows Jose Luis
pretended to be Antonio and now
he thinks the worst of me,
he thinks I cheated on him with
him, that I've been his lover
all this time.
He's even sure
that this baby is not his.
- How did he find out?
- I don't know, I don't know.
- I need to know if Pedro
was the one who told him.
- I don't know, really.
I think it was Victor.
- Victor?
No, that's impossible,
how would he know?
- Are you sure about that?
Victor met the real
Antonio Olivares,
he's the one who hired him
to work as a foreman.
And when all this happened,
Victor was at the ranch,
so maybe while he was talking
about that issue with Alejandro,
this slipped out and the truth
came out, I don't know.
- What do you have to say now,
Nadia?
You were worried about me,
but it was your lover
who opened Montserrat's
husband's eyes.
- That nightgown isn't yours,
take it off.
- Why don't you take it off me?
- I said, take it off.
I don't want it
to smell like you.
- If my wearing it bothers you
so much, take it off yourself.
- Don't get this wrong.
- I can see in your eyes
how much that woman hurt you
and the love
you still feel for her.
- That love
doesn't exist anymore,
it has turned into hate.
- I'll make you forget her,
Alejandro, I'll take her out
of your heart and erase her from
your mind, your skin, your lips.
I swear.
[Montserrat] I'm yours,
Alejandro, completely yours.
- I'm sorry, Maria, but--
but I can't.
- I don't get it, Alejandro.
That woman lied to you
and fooled you,
you need to
repay her in kind.
Besides, you told me I would be
your partner starting today.
- And I meant that.
But give me some time,
I can't give you what you want right now.
Maybe you should sleep
in your bedroom tonight.
- No, Alejandro, please,
don't do this to me.
Let me stay here with you,
nothing needs to happen.
You need me more than ever,
I don't want to leave you alone.
Come here, lie next to me.
Come on.
I settle for so little.
Just let me hold you all night
long, that will make me happy.
I love you so much, Alejandro,
so much.
[Macario]
What's with you today?
Are you in a bad mood?
- No. No,
but I'm starting to be.
Now it turns out
that Maria feels
she's the owner of the house
and she ordered me
to bring her
and him breakfast in bed.
Can you imagine?
- Oh.
So they did spend the night
together?
- What do you think?
Look, just--just don't remind me
or I'll make a scene.
It's not fair, really,
Maria is taking advantage
of the terrible situation
Alejandro is going through.
You know what?
I'll be right back,
I don't want the lady to get mad
if I don't bring them
their breakfast.
- Are you going out, Joaquin?
- Yes, I have some matters
to attend to, but I'll try
to make it fast.
Oh, honey.
Change that long face already,
Angelica will turn up soon,
Robledo gave me his word.
He's going to do anything
in his power to find her.
I trust him.
Any minute now,
he'll call us with good news
about our daughter,
you'll see.
- Virginia!
[louder] Virginia!
- What is it, Mom?
- Come here, quickly.
- What?
- I need you to go up to
your room and pack a suitcase.
- Why, where are we going?
- To Prudencia's house,
Angelica's godmother.
- Is Angelica there?
- Yes.
- Oh, that's great news, Mom.
- Thank God that man
didn't do anything to her.
- Jose Luis is a good guy
and Angelica loves him,
she's in love with him.
- Stop that nonsense, please,
and go do what I asked, quickly.
Pack some of
your sister's things, too,
she might need something.
- Okay.
- Go, sweetie, now, quick!
Move, we have to get out of here
before your dad gets back and sees us.
- Why don't you want Dad
to know?
- Please, do as I said,
don't ask questions
and go pack the bags.
- Oh, all right.
- They just delivered clothes
from the dry cleaner's.
Take them upstairs, please,
and put them in the closets.
- Yes, ma'am, excuse me.
- Go ahead.
Say, Rosario, did you like
the maid's room we gave you?
Are you comfortable?
- Yes, Mrs. Carlota,
thank you very much.
Actually, everyone
has been very nice to me.
- The only one who needs
some work getting used to
is my sister-in-law.
Graciela is a bit complicated,
she has a short temper.
In fact, I don't know how
my brother put up with her
for so many years.
Although, I still believe
this isn't your place, Rosario.
Alejandro's ranch is.
- But he threw me out
of his house, Mrs. Carlota,
so there's nothing I can do.
- Of course there is,
tell him the truth.
Tell him you gave him life.
- No, I can't do that.
Besides...
Mrs. Montserrat needs me
and I want to stay here
and look after her
after my grandchild is born.
- I'm sorry for saying this,
but the best way for you to help
my nephew is telling Alejandro
that you're his mother.
I'm sure that as soon as he
knows that, he'll listen to you
and you'll be able to convince
him to forgive Montserrat
and give her another chance.
I don't know what your reasons
are to keep this to yourself,
but I want you to see that
not only my niece's
and Alejandro's happiness
are at stake here,
but also your grandchild's.
Will you condemn that child to
live without his father's love?
What could be more important
than that, Rosario?
Think about it, please.
[doorbell buzzes]
- Come in, Father,
I'll let Mrs. Montserrat know
you're here to see her.
- Yes, dear, thank you.
- Make yourself at home.
- Thank you.
Good morning, Graciela.
We see each other again
after so long.
- What are you doing
in my house?
- I need to talk to Montserrat.
- Get out, I don't want you
near my daughter or my family.
- Don't worry, I'm not here
to talk about your sins.
- Father Anselmo,
what a nice surprise.
I didn't know you had already
met my sister-in-law.
- Yes, many years ago, dear.
I believe Graciela was still
single when I had the--
let's say, the "pleasure"
of meeting her.
Remember, dear?
- How could I forget, Father?
- I guess it was during
some religious event,
because my sister used to attend
a prayer group once a month.
Or she would spend a few weeks
at these spiritual retreats.
What I don't understand
is why you stopped going
after Montserrat got married.
- Because your brother got ill
and as his wife,
it was my duty
to look after him, Carlota.
- Well, I'll ask Rosario
to bring us coffee and cookies.
- Okay, dear.
- Make yourself at home,
Father.
- Thank you.
So you were using God
as a pretext to justify your--
your absence every time you
went to see Benjamin Almonte.
What you've done
is unforgivable, Graciela.
- Think very carefully
what you're going to say
to my daughter.
You don't know
what I'm capable of.
- The worst thing is that
I do know, I know it very well,
but unfortunately for you,
I'm not afraid of you.
- Father.
I'm so glad you're here, Father.
- I'll leave you two alone,
honey, so you can talk.
Make yourself at home, Father.
- That's not necessary, Mom.
Come with me, let's go
to the backyard, Father.
- Excuse me.
- I knew you would
come to see me.
I guess Montserrat
already told you what happened.
- How could you, Victor?
I don't know how you found out
that Jose Luis Alvarez
was pretending to be the foreman
you hired, but you should've
kept quiet. That man was already
out of Montserrat's life.
What was the point
in Alejandro's knowing?
Didn't you think of
the consequences?
- Wait, wait, before
you continue scolding me,
tell me something.
Is that what your husband
threatened to do
if you didn't get me
out of your life?
To tell Alejandro the truth?
- Is that why you did it?
So I could see that
all my sacrifice was worthless?
I never thought
you could be so selfish!
- I didn't tell him anything.
By the time
I got to the ranch,
Alejandro
already knew everything.
- Stop lying!
- You're the one who's lying.
How long have you known that
Jose Luis Alvarez was there?
Why didn't you tell me?
- You didn't need to know.
- Alejandro is my best friend.
- And Montserrat
is like a sister to me.
- If you had just trusted me,
if you had told me what was
going on, we would've found
a way to help them
so things wouldn't come to this.
But now it's too late.
- Montserrat is devastated.
- And how do you think
Alejandro feels?
He's even worse, I have never
seen him like this before,
so full of anger and hate.
And trust me, with good reason.
- It's not Montserrat's fault
that Jose Luis decided to go see her
and lie his way into the ranch.
- Don't defend her.
She tried to run away with him
more than once.
What's more,
I witnessed it myself,
how your friend tried
to escape with that man
on the day of her wedding.
- Because she was forced
to marry him. Her mom sold her
like furniture.
And also because--
- Because she loved
Jose Luis Alvarez.
- Yes, back then she loved him,
or she thought she loved him,
I don't know.
But then, little by little,
she came to love Alejandro.
He was able to earn--
to earn her heart.
Victor, don't you see?
With him, Montserrat knew
what true love is.
Just as I knew it with you.
- Will you swear that Montserrat
didn't sleep with that guy
during the time he spent
at that ranch?
- Yes, I swear.
Even if Jose Luis was there
all the time and harassed her,
Montserrat never gave in, she
never cheated on her husband.
Believe me, the baby Montserrat
is expecting is Alejandro's.
Victor, you and I need to do
something. We can't let things
end like this between them.
They're expecting a child.
We have to help them.
[Montserrat] What were they
talking about, Father?
[Father Anselmo]
Oh, nothing, dear, nothing.
Look, I'm sorry, but right now,
it's much more important
to talk about the problems
you have with your husband.
- Oh, Father, Alejandro
was so upset, he went crazy.
I swear I thought
he would kill me, for a moment.
- Well, dear, I'm not excusing
him, but you need to--to--
understand him.
Look, you and I always knew that
if your husband ever learned
who his foreman really was,
well, he would react that way.
- You have no idea how much
he insulted me, the horrible
things he said to me.
Alejandro is convinced that
I cheated on him with Jose Luis,
but you know that's not true.
- Of course I know that, dear,
but look, as soon as Macario
told me Alejandro had
kicked you out of the house,
I immediately went to see him
and tried to make him calm down
and explain everything to him.
I took your side, dear, but--
but unfortunately, right now,
Alejandro is just not capable
of listening to reason.
- Let him think whatever
he wants, I don't care anymore.
- No, no, that's not true,
dear, I know it's not true.
I know you care about him,
a lot.
And I also know how much it
hurts you to be away from him.
- I don't know if I'll ever
be able to forgive him
for rejecting his child.
- No, dear, please,
don't be so proud.
Don't make the same mistake
Alejandro made.
Besides, you know
everything he said, well--
he just said it
because he's hurting.
He feels he's been fooled
and betrayed by you
and that man that he once
thought of as his friend.
- You know,
it's very painful, but I admit
that a lot of what's happening
is my fault.
So I don't have another choice
but to accept that I've lost
Alejandro forever.
- No, no, dear, for God's sake,
don't give up,
especially now that
Maria's bad influence can--
- Maria?
What does Maria
have to do with this?
Did Alejandro take her back?
Did he take her back
to the ranch?
Answer me, say something!
Is she with him?
- Yes, dear, Maria is back
at the ranch.
And that's not
the worst part, dear.
That girl is capable of
poisoning Alejandro's soul
and turn him against you
even more!
♪♪♪
- I offered you my friendship
and what did you do, you creep?
You went there to steal my wife
from me. You slept with her.
- What are you talking about,
Alejandro?
- You really want to know,
Jose Luis Alvarez?
- What-- Jose Luis--
I'm not--wait!
- Who's Jose Luis Alvarez?
- Are you okay,
did he hurt you?
- No.
What are you doing here?
- I came for you.
- Why?
- To ask you to come back
with me to the ranch.
- Hold on, do you really
want me to go back to the ranch?
- Yes.
- Does that mean
you forgive me?
- I want you there, that's all.
- All right,
just let me get my things.
I'm staying at a room downtown,
I won't be long.
- I'll buy whatever you need,
expensive clothing,
whatever you ask.
You're not going back
as an employee, Maria,
you'll be the lady
of the house.
Starting today,
you'll be my partner.
- Did I hear that right?
Your partner?
- Yes, that's what I said.
- But I don't understand,
what about your wife?
- Montserrat doesn't live
at the ranch anymore.
- What, she left?
She left you, right?
She finally managed to escape
and she abandoned you.
- No, Maria, I kicked her out.
She's out of my life forever.
- Oh, my God.
- Let's see.
There.
- Oh, look at that.
- Everything looks great, ma'am.
- Really?
- You can see the baby, right?
- Yes.
Can we know
if it's a boy or a girl yet?
- No, not yet,
it's still very small,
she's only eight weeks pregnant.
But everything looks fine.
- How could your husband
miss this, honey?
Alejandro should be here.
Look, look, it's my grandchild.
My grandchild.
[sobs]
- Could you get some sleep?
- No, you?
- No, me neither.
- Listen, do you really think
Captain Robledo
will be able to help us?
- I don't know, I hope so.
I wonder if he's made a decision
yet, I'd like to know it.
- Who hit you?
- Your brother-in-law.
- Alejandro?
- Yes, yes.
I just went to the pier to meet
with Maria and we were talking
when Alejandro
showed up in a rage.
He started to accuse me
and call me Jose Luis Alvarez.
- He must've found out
that my sister and Jose Luis
were lying to him
this whole time.
- Maybe,
but why is that my fault?
- It's your dumb face, bro.
- Look who's talking.
- Godmother, I'm so nervous.
- Me too.
- Refugio and Jose Luis have
been talking to Captain Robledo
for a long time now.
- What do you think he decided?
- I'm afraid the captain
won't believe them
and send them back to jail.
- Calm down, girls,
my brother is a just man
and a great person.
Besides, he knows
about the injustices
Jose Luis
and Refugio suffered.
I'm sure he'll do
everything in his power
to repair the damage
that's been done to them.
- What happened?
What happened?
- What did he say?
Where's Jose Luis?
- He's still talking
to Captain Robledo.
He asked me to leave them
alone, that's why I'm here.
- But what did he say?
Will he help you?
- Did he believe you?
- I don't know.
- I'm not surprised to
hear this about Efrain Loreto.
We suspected at the navy
that Agua Azul's chief of police
was a crook.
We even started
to investigate him.
What I do find surprising is
that you saved Almonte's life
knowing that man married
the woman you loved.
Tell me something,
Alejandro never suspected
you were Montserrat's
former boyfriend?
- I guess not.
Although,
I have to admit, Captain,
that when I first
arrived at the ranch,
I had hard feelings
for Alejandro.
But little by little, as time
passed, I grew fond of him.
He didn't know anything about
me when he married Montserrat.
- So you don't have a grudge
against him anymore?
- I even think he started
to care about me.
- Not about you, Alvarez, about
Antonio Olivares, you mean.
You have to understand
that if your name is cleared
and you go back to the navy,
Alejandro will find out
you deceived him.
You might avoid prison,
but you'll put Montserrat
in big trouble.
- Yes, you're right.
- You have to talk to Alejandro
and clear the air,
explain everything
that you told me.
- Yes, I'll do that
as soon as I get to Agua Azul.
I'll go see Alejandro
and tell him my version.
The only thing that worries me
is that, once he finds out
I'm Jose Luis Alvarez, he might
get angry at Montserrat.
You know what, Captain?
I think the best
would be to disappear.
- No, that would have
more negative
than positive consequences.
A lot of people know
you're not Antonio Olivares.
Look, for Montserrat's sake,
you have to confront him before
someone else tells Alejandro
who the man that was working
at his ranch really was.
Jose Luis,
do you still love that girl?
- That's in the past, Captain.
Montserrat is in love
with another man now.
Right now,
I'm completely focused
on my life with Angelica.
- And do you love her?
- Yes, I love her very much.
As soon as I marry her,
I'll make her the happiest woman
on earth.
- I still can't believe
you kicked your wife
out of the ranch.
- You're my partner now.
- But why did you kick her out?
- What do you care?
From now on, you'll be
the boss in this house.
You'll sleep with me
in my bedroom
and everyone will
have to do as you say.
- I can't believe it.
You're not lying, are you?
- I don't have a reason to lie.
If you don't believe me,
go to my room, search the house
and you'll see
there's nothing of hers left.
- And you, do you know why
Alejandro threw his wife out?
- No, I don't know anything.
But I don't like this one bit.
- You better stay out of this,
and don't even think about
turning him against me or
you'll know what I'm capable of.
You're finally mine,
completely mine.
- Of course, honey, when that
bastard Alejandro found out,
he kicked your sister out.
And with good reason, you know.
We should thank God he didn't
beat her up and kill her.
- How can you say that, Mom?
My sister is pregnant.
- Oh, I shudder to think
that baby might be
that lousy marine's
instead of Alejandro's.
- Then why doesn't Alejandro
take a DNA test?
- Yes, I thought about that,
I'll tell him as soon as I can
get in touch with him.
I have to make him forgive her,
no matter what.
And most of all,
to recognize the child.
I didn't work hard to marry
your sister to an Almonte
to have the inheritance slip through my
hands once again, no way.
- What do you mean, once again?
- We need to be very discreet,
your father doesn't know anything yet.
He thinks his little princess
is staying here for a few days
just because her doctor is here.
- Well, I think dad
should know everything.
- Geez, Dimitrio, you're trying
to give the old man
a heart attack or what?
- No, but I think he has a right
to know what his daughter's
really like, because I'm always
the bad guy, you know?
- You need Jesus, baby,
you need Jesus.
- Whatever.
- Oh, we're exhausted.
Guess what, dear, Lauro bought
presents for his grandchild.
He emptied out the stores.
- Don't even bother.
I'm leaving. Bye, Mom.
- I entrust you to God,
the archangels and the angels, my baby.
- It's awful the way they
treated you, I'm really sorry.
- Why did your brother say that?
Is there anything I should know?
- Come with me, Graciela.
- What did you buy?
- I'll show you everything,
it's all beautiful.
- I want to see the baby stuff,
dear, show me.
[clears throat]
- I made a decision.
I'm going to help you.
- I knew you would do the right
thing, Ignacio, thank you.
- I really appreciate it,
Captain.
- Thank you, Captain.
- Thank you so much, Captain.
If you ever go to "La Escondida"
order only the best drinks,
it's all on me.
- Oh, Esmeralda.
Captain, of course it's a joke.
- Come on, I'm not
offering him a private dance.
- Oh, Esmeralda, shut up, dear.
- I only have one condition.
You'll have to talk
to your parents, Angelica,
and let them know you're staying
at your godmother's house
and that you're all right.
Look, I know you're of legal age
and you don't need your parents'
permission to get married,
but they should know about it,
it's the right thing to do.
Especially since they've been
so worried since you left.
- Yes, Captain, it's just
that-- I'm afraid they won't
let me get married.
- Don't worry, darling,
I'll convince them.
- Okay.
- I'm going back
to Agua Azul tonight
to start working
on your case.
Let me warn you, though,
it won't be easy at all,
but I can assure you,
you won't put one foot in jail.
Anyway, in order to clear things
up, I'm going to need you to be
at the naval base
in a couple of days.
- Of course, Captain.
- Whenever you say, Captain,
we'll be there, right, bro?
- Yes, sir.
- What if we make a toast
for the couple's happiness,
Jose Luis and my
beloved Angelica?
- Yes.
- And to Refugio and Esmeralda.
- We're already happy,
aren't we?
- Yes, honey.
- Let's make a toast.
- Thank you, Captain.
- Here, pass them along.
- Wow, the godmother
had everything ready.
All right, we're all set.
- Okay, let's toast then.
- Cheers.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Hi!
- Ah, Macario, what a surprise.
How are you?
What can I do for you?
Come in, sit down.
- Thank you, Father.
I'm very worried.
- Is there anything wrong?
- No, I'm fine,
but Alejandro is in trouble.
- Why, what is it?
- He had a fight with his wife
and he even kicked her
out of the ranch.
- What?
But why?
- Well, actually, I don't know,
and actually,
I haven't talked to him,
you know how moody he gets.
- But when did that happen?
- Last night.
But he not only kicked
Mrs. Montserrat out,
he also fired Rosarito.
She left with the lady, all sad
and crying, the poor thing.
- Dear Virgin, but something
horrible must've happened.
- Yes, Father,
because that's not all.
I don't mean to pry or anything,
but Alejandro went to get Maria
and shipped her back home.
He told her
that starting today,
she will be the lady
of the house,
and he even lets her sleep
in Mrs. Montserrat's bedroom,
can you believe it?
- Let's go right now.
This is outrageous.
- Why won't you eat?
Dominga made a delicious stew.
- I'm not hungry.
- Stop thinking about her,
she's not worth it.
I always said she was
a hypocrite and didn't love you.
I don't know why you kicked
her out, but you did right.
Can I tell you something?
I'm sure she was cheating
on you with Antonio Olivares.
- Why do you say that?
- I noticed the way
they looked at each other.
Besides, I saw her in his house
once, they were arguing.
The foreman was complaining
because he saw her kissing you.
I'm so sure there was something
going on between them
that I asked Antonio
if he had met her in Agua Azul.
He said no,
but I didn't believe him.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- So you could get mad at me?
You never spent time with me,
you were on the clouds
thanks to that woman,
blind to everything else.
It was a mistake marrying her.
Can I tell you something else?
Both she and her brother
lied to you when they told you
I had stolen the money
you had here.
That box Rosario found in
my room, my uncle gave it to me.
I don't know if he had anything
to do with the robbery, but
that's why you found me arguing
with Adolfo at Agua Azul's pier.
I was asking him
if my uncle Juventino helped him
steal that money
from your office.
[knocks on door]
- Alejandro, Father Anselmo is
here, he wants to talk to you.
♪♪♪
♪♪♪
- Alejandro, son,
we have a lot to talk about.
- Leave us alone.
- What happened, Alejandro?
- I realized that my wife,
the woman I gave my name to
and loved with all my heart,
is the worst woman there is.
- But why do you say that?
- Because while I was begging
her for one loving gesture,
one caress, she was having fun
here, under my own roof
and right in front of me,
with her lover.
- No, God, no.
- Yes, with Jose Luis Alvarez,
who turned out to be my foreman.
That traitor passed himself off
as Antonio Olivares.
Did you know about that?
- Yes, I did, son.
- And you didn't tell me?
You let me ridicule myself?
You let them make fun of me
and laugh at me in my face?
How could you do that!
Why didn't you say--
and you even told me Montserrat
was a good woman,
that I should be tolerant.
Why didn't you warn me?
- Because I know you,
Alejandro, I know how you are.
If I had told you, you would've
gotten blood on your hands
just to quench your thirst
for vengeance.
And God doesn't allow anyone
to take another man's life.
- But he does allow us
to deceive and lie and cheat?
- Calm down, son, calm down.
That never happened.
- Oh, didn't it?
Then who's the father
of Montserrat's baby?
Because it isn't mine!
- How can you say that?
That child is yours.
- How can you be sure?
Tell me, how can you be sure
that baby is mine?
- Montserrat is incapable of--
- No, Montserrat is capable
of all the worst things!
The dirtiest things.
As soon as she realized that
bastard had gotten her pregnant,
she changed her attitude
toward me to seduce me,
to force me to go to bed
with her and have me believe
that baby is mine.
[phone ringing]
- Hello.
[Angelica] Hi, Mom.
- Angelica.
Where are you?
How are you, sweetheart?
Tell me that swine
didn't do anything to you.
- Mom, calm down, I'm great.
- Really, you're okay?
- Yes, Mom, I promise.
Hold on a second,
someone wants to talk to you.
- Okay, okay, let me talk to
that man, I'll give him anything
he asks to have you
back home, sweetheart.
- No, Mom, it's not Jose Luis
who wants to talk to you.
Wait a second.
- No, no, Angelica, wait!
Tell me where--
[Prudencia] Your daughter
is with me, Amelia.
- Prudencia?
- Yes, that's me.
[Amelia]
And Angelica is with you?
How did she get there?
Oh, Prudencia, please, tell me
my daughter is all right.
- Try to calm down,
I need you to listen to me.
The doctor ran some tests
on my goddaughter
and the results are not good.
The cancer is back,
there's nothing
the doctors can do for her.
- No.
Don't say that.
[Prudencia] I'm sorry
I was so straightforward,
but you needed to know.
I need you to tell me
something very important.
- What would you be willing to--
- Yes, yes, we'll take her
to another doctor for more
tests and a second opinion.
Yes, we'll do that.
- Don't interrupt me,
Amelia, please.
I'm not talking about
doctors and hospitals,
that's not what I want
for my goddaughter.
I'm talking about her happiness
during her last months,
so listen carefully
and answer my question, please.
What would you be willing to do
to ensure your daughter's
happiness before she dies?
- Anything.
- Then I need you to
come over here so we can talk.
But please, don't tell
your husband that Angelica
is staying with me just yet.
Can you promise me that, Amelia?
- Alejandro, son...
you need to calm down.
Otherwise, you won't be able
to think reasonably.
- I'm aware now, and now is
when I'm learning the truth.
- I can assure you that
Montserrat didn't deceive you
the way you think she did.
The presence of that guy
in this house tormented her.
- Take my advice, Father,
open your eyes, just like I did.
I'm sure Montserrat
didn't tell you the truth,
she's an expert at faking,
everything she says is a lie.
- No, son, no.
Nobody lies
to their Father Confessor.
- You're so naive, Father.
You know nothing about
people's wickedness.
- And I suppose
you're an expert, right?
You think what you're doing
is right?
You went to get Maria and
brought her back to this house
and you put her in charge
as if she were the owner.
Yes, that's right,
Macario told me.
Why did you do that, son?
What are you doing?
- That's none of your business.
- Of course it is. Whatever
happens to you is my business.
- I don't think so.
If that were true, you would've
warned me that Jose Luis Alvarez
was on my lands.
- Try to understand, I didn't
tell you because I didn't want
you to do something terrible.
And besides, because--
because Montserrat
confessed it
under the seal of confession.
It's not your wife's fault, son.
That man came here
of his own accord,
and she tried and tried
to convince him to leave.
- Don't fool yourself, Father.
The last time Montserrat
tried to run away,
that guy had already been
at the ranch for days.
She wasn't trying to convince
him to leave, she was trying
to run away with him.
- Well, son, she was confused,
I don't know, desperate.
She herself didn't know
what she wanted.
- Right.
- Try to understand, son.
Your wife made her share
of mistakes, sure,
but she didn't do what
you're accusing her of doing.
- That's your opinion,
not mine.
So stop insisting, Father.
I've made my decision
and no one will convince me
to change it.
Not even you,
so don't bother.
[Father Anselmo sighs]
- Alejandro, son,
you're wrong.
And I hope it's not too late
when you realize that.
Good afternoon, son.
- When Susana told me you were
here, I couldn't believe it.
When did you arrive?
- Last night.
I'm very tired, I had
a very complicated day today.
I went to my gynecologist
and then my dad took me shopping
for things for the baby, and--
I couldn't come see you
until now.
- So Alejandro brought you here
so you could see your doctor.
How's the pregnancy going?
- Alejandro didn't come.
- Why not?
- He kicked me out.
Alejandro doesn't want me
in his life anymore,
he doesn't want to hear
from me nor our baby.
- Did he find out--
- Yes, he knows Jose Luis
pretended to be Antonio and now
he thinks the worst of me,
he thinks I cheated on him with
him, that I've been his lover
all this time.
He's even sure
that this baby is not his.
- How did he find out?
- I don't know, I don't know.
- I need to know if Pedro
was the one who told him.
- I don't know, really.
I think it was Victor.
- Victor?
No, that's impossible,
how would he know?
- Are you sure about that?
Victor met the real
Antonio Olivares,
he's the one who hired him
to work as a foreman.
And when all this happened,
Victor was at the ranch,
so maybe while he was talking
about that issue with Alejandro,
this slipped out and the truth
came out, I don't know.
- What do you have to say now,
Nadia?
You were worried about me,
but it was your lover
who opened Montserrat's
husband's eyes.
- That nightgown isn't yours,
take it off.
- Why don't you take it off me?
- I said, take it off.
I don't want it
to smell like you.
- If my wearing it bothers you
so much, take it off yourself.
- Don't get this wrong.
- I can see in your eyes
how much that woman hurt you
and the love
you still feel for her.
- That love
doesn't exist anymore,
it has turned into hate.
- I'll make you forget her,
Alejandro, I'll take her out
of your heart and erase her from
your mind, your skin, your lips.
I swear.
[Montserrat] I'm yours,
Alejandro, completely yours.
- I'm sorry, Maria, but--
but I can't.
- I don't get it, Alejandro.
That woman lied to you
and fooled you,
you need to
repay her in kind.
Besides, you told me I would be
your partner starting today.
- And I meant that.
But give me some time,
I can't give you what you want right now.
Maybe you should sleep
in your bedroom tonight.
- No, Alejandro, please,
don't do this to me.
Let me stay here with you,
nothing needs to happen.
You need me more than ever,
I don't want to leave you alone.
Come here, lie next to me.
Come on.
I settle for so little.
Just let me hold you all night
long, that will make me happy.
I love you so much, Alejandro,
so much.
[Macario]
What's with you today?
Are you in a bad mood?
- No. No,
but I'm starting to be.
Now it turns out
that Maria feels
she's the owner of the house
and she ordered me
to bring her
and him breakfast in bed.
Can you imagine?
- Oh.
So they did spend the night
together?
- What do you think?
Look, just--just don't remind me
or I'll make a scene.
It's not fair, really,
Maria is taking advantage
of the terrible situation
Alejandro is going through.
You know what?
I'll be right back,
I don't want the lady to get mad
if I don't bring them
their breakfast.
- Are you going out, Joaquin?
- Yes, I have some matters
to attend to, but I'll try
to make it fast.
Oh, honey.
Change that long face already,
Angelica will turn up soon,
Robledo gave me his word.
He's going to do anything
in his power to find her.
I trust him.
Any minute now,
he'll call us with good news
about our daughter,
you'll see.
- Virginia!
[louder] Virginia!
- What is it, Mom?
- Come here, quickly.
- What?
- I need you to go up to
your room and pack a suitcase.
- Why, where are we going?
- To Prudencia's house,
Angelica's godmother.
- Is Angelica there?
- Yes.
- Oh, that's great news, Mom.
- Thank God that man
didn't do anything to her.
- Jose Luis is a good guy
and Angelica loves him,
she's in love with him.
- Stop that nonsense, please,
and go do what I asked, quickly.
Pack some of
your sister's things, too,
she might need something.
- Okay.
- Go, sweetie, now, quick!
Move, we have to get out of here
before your dad gets back and sees us.
- Why don't you want Dad
to know?
- Please, do as I said,
don't ask questions
and go pack the bags.
- Oh, all right.
- They just delivered clothes
from the dry cleaner's.
Take them upstairs, please,
and put them in the closets.
- Yes, ma'am, excuse me.
- Go ahead.
Say, Rosario, did you like
the maid's room we gave you?
Are you comfortable?
- Yes, Mrs. Carlota,
thank you very much.
Actually, everyone
has been very nice to me.
- The only one who needs
some work getting used to
is my sister-in-law.
Graciela is a bit complicated,
she has a short temper.
In fact, I don't know how
my brother put up with her
for so many years.
Although, I still believe
this isn't your place, Rosario.
Alejandro's ranch is.
- But he threw me out
of his house, Mrs. Carlota,
so there's nothing I can do.
- Of course there is,
tell him the truth.
Tell him you gave him life.
- No, I can't do that.
Besides...
Mrs. Montserrat needs me
and I want to stay here
and look after her
after my grandchild is born.
- I'm sorry for saying this,
but the best way for you to help
my nephew is telling Alejandro
that you're his mother.
I'm sure that as soon as he
knows that, he'll listen to you
and you'll be able to convince
him to forgive Montserrat
and give her another chance.
I don't know what your reasons
are to keep this to yourself,
but I want you to see that
not only my niece's
and Alejandro's happiness
are at stake here,
but also your grandchild's.
Will you condemn that child to
live without his father's love?
What could be more important
than that, Rosario?
Think about it, please.
[doorbell buzzes]
- Come in, Father,
I'll let Mrs. Montserrat know
you're here to see her.
- Yes, dear, thank you.
- Make yourself at home.
- Thank you.
Good morning, Graciela.
We see each other again
after so long.
- What are you doing
in my house?
- I need to talk to Montserrat.
- Get out, I don't want you
near my daughter or my family.
- Don't worry, I'm not here
to talk about your sins.
- Father Anselmo,
what a nice surprise.
I didn't know you had already
met my sister-in-law.
- Yes, many years ago, dear.
I believe Graciela was still
single when I had the--
let's say, the "pleasure"
of meeting her.
Remember, dear?
- How could I forget, Father?
- I guess it was during
some religious event,
because my sister used to attend
a prayer group once a month.
Or she would spend a few weeks
at these spiritual retreats.
What I don't understand
is why you stopped going
after Montserrat got married.
- Because your brother got ill
and as his wife,
it was my duty
to look after him, Carlota.
- Well, I'll ask Rosario
to bring us coffee and cookies.
- Okay, dear.
- Make yourself at home,
Father.
- Thank you.
So you were using God
as a pretext to justify your--
your absence every time you
went to see Benjamin Almonte.
What you've done
is unforgivable, Graciela.
- Think very carefully
what you're going to say
to my daughter.
You don't know
what I'm capable of.
- The worst thing is that
I do know, I know it very well,
but unfortunately for you,
I'm not afraid of you.
- Father.
I'm so glad you're here, Father.
- I'll leave you two alone,
honey, so you can talk.
Make yourself at home, Father.
- That's not necessary, Mom.
Come with me, let's go
to the backyard, Father.
- Excuse me.
- I knew you would
come to see me.
I guess Montserrat
already told you what happened.
- How could you, Victor?
I don't know how you found out
that Jose Luis Alvarez
was pretending to be the foreman
you hired, but you should've
kept quiet. That man was already
out of Montserrat's life.
What was the point
in Alejandro's knowing?
Didn't you think of
the consequences?
- Wait, wait, before
you continue scolding me,
tell me something.
Is that what your husband
threatened to do
if you didn't get me
out of your life?
To tell Alejandro the truth?
- Is that why you did it?
So I could see that
all my sacrifice was worthless?
I never thought
you could be so selfish!
- I didn't tell him anything.
By the time
I got to the ranch,
Alejandro
already knew everything.
- Stop lying!
- You're the one who's lying.
How long have you known that
Jose Luis Alvarez was there?
Why didn't you tell me?
- You didn't need to know.
- Alejandro is my best friend.
- And Montserrat
is like a sister to me.
- If you had just trusted me,
if you had told me what was
going on, we would've found
a way to help them
so things wouldn't come to this.
But now it's too late.
- Montserrat is devastated.
- And how do you think
Alejandro feels?
He's even worse, I have never
seen him like this before,
so full of anger and hate.
And trust me, with good reason.
- It's not Montserrat's fault
that Jose Luis decided to go see her
and lie his way into the ranch.
- Don't defend her.
She tried to run away with him
more than once.
What's more,
I witnessed it myself,
how your friend tried
to escape with that man
on the day of her wedding.
- Because she was forced
to marry him. Her mom sold her
like furniture.
And also because--
- Because she loved
Jose Luis Alvarez.
- Yes, back then she loved him,
or she thought she loved him,
I don't know.
But then, little by little,
she came to love Alejandro.
He was able to earn--
to earn her heart.
Victor, don't you see?
With him, Montserrat knew
what true love is.
Just as I knew it with you.
- Will you swear that Montserrat
didn't sleep with that guy
during the time he spent
at that ranch?
- Yes, I swear.
Even if Jose Luis was there
all the time and harassed her,
Montserrat never gave in, she
never cheated on her husband.
Believe me, the baby Montserrat
is expecting is Alejandro's.
Victor, you and I need to do
something. We can't let things
end like this between them.
They're expecting a child.
We have to help them.
[Montserrat] What were they
talking about, Father?
[Father Anselmo]
Oh, nothing, dear, nothing.
Look, I'm sorry, but right now,
it's much more important
to talk about the problems
you have with your husband.
- Oh, Father, Alejandro
was so upset, he went crazy.
I swear I thought
he would kill me, for a moment.
- Well, dear, I'm not excusing
him, but you need to--to--
understand him.
Look, you and I always knew that
if your husband ever learned
who his foreman really was,
well, he would react that way.
- You have no idea how much
he insulted me, the horrible
things he said to me.
Alejandro is convinced that
I cheated on him with Jose Luis,
but you know that's not true.
- Of course I know that, dear,
but look, as soon as Macario
told me Alejandro had
kicked you out of the house,
I immediately went to see him
and tried to make him calm down
and explain everything to him.
I took your side, dear, but--
but unfortunately, right now,
Alejandro is just not capable
of listening to reason.
- Let him think whatever
he wants, I don't care anymore.
- No, no, that's not true,
dear, I know it's not true.
I know you care about him,
a lot.
And I also know how much it
hurts you to be away from him.
- I don't know if I'll ever
be able to forgive him
for rejecting his child.
- No, dear, please,
don't be so proud.
Don't make the same mistake
Alejandro made.
Besides, you know
everything he said, well--
he just said it
because he's hurting.
He feels he's been fooled
and betrayed by you
and that man that he once
thought of as his friend.
- You know,
it's very painful, but I admit
that a lot of what's happening
is my fault.
So I don't have another choice
but to accept that I've lost
Alejandro forever.
- No, no, dear, for God's sake,
don't give up,
especially now that
Maria's bad influence can--
- Maria?
What does Maria
have to do with this?
Did Alejandro take her back?
Did he take her back
to the ranch?
Answer me, say something!
Is she with him?
- Yes, dear, Maria is back
at the ranch.
And that's not
the worst part, dear.
That girl is capable of
poisoning Alejandro's soul
and turn him against you
even more!
