Lo que la vida me robó (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 51 - José Luis queda al descubierto - full transcript
♪♪♪
But I already explained
what happened to him.
I told him I had never
cheated on him with you.
He forgave me.
Did he?
[clears throat]
He forgave you?
Apparently, Alejandro loves you
more than I imagined.
As much as I love him.
Thanks for walking me
to my house, Nadia.
Would you like to have a drink?
I could prepare some tea.
No, thanks, Josefina.
I'll leave before it gets late.
[doorbell]
Yes, hello.
Hi, good afternoon,
I'm Victor Hernandez.
May I speak with Nadia, please?
Victor, how did you know
I was here?
Come in, please.
Thanks.
I saw you at the plaza
and I followed you.
I need to speak with you.
Would you leave us alone for
a moment so we can talk?
Victor is a very good friend
of Alejandro Almonte.
Of course,
make yourselves at home.
Thanks.
I just wanted you to know
that I spoke with Montserrat
and she explained things to me.
I think she was honest.
I'll try to convince Alejandro
so he listens to her.
He's feeling bad about what
happened with his father-in-law.
I think this is a good chance
to try to make them reconcile.
Thank you very much for
trying to help my friend.
What about us?
What's going to happen
with you and me?
I can't be away from you,
and this distance is killing me.
Victor, not here, please.
Josefina could hear us.
Just explain this to me,
at the plaza, we ran into
Alejandro and that girl, Maria.
What's up between them?
Send a big kiss to Angelica
from me, and tell her
that I wish you happiness with
all my heart.
I'll tell her.
Good afternoon.
Look who's here.
Can I speak with you,
Alejandro?
In private.
Leave us alone,
Maria, please.
It hurt me that you
didn't go to my dad's funeral.
Your sister blamed me
for his death
and told me she didn't want to
see me ever again.
How could you listen to her?
Her dad just died, the person
she loved the most in her life.
You can't take that personally.
Can we sit down?
Remember the first talk
we had here,
when we spoke about your
commitment to my sister?
I remember perfectly.
That time you told me that
there wasn't any other man
in Montserrat's life,
other than me.
Yes, I lied to you.
But I didn't lie to you
when I told you that my father
and my sister are decent,
worthy people.
You lied about that, too.
A woman with the qualities you
mention wouldn't marry a guy
just for his money,
and she wouldn't cheat on him.
That's exactly
where you are wrong.
That's your mistake,
a pretty serious one.
You know what, Dimitrio?
Just leave.
I don't want to listen to you.
Calm down.
We are just talking, relax.
Please.
We both know who I am,
but my sister is very different.
She's very different than me.
Yes, you are right on that.
She's one thousand times
worse than you.
I'm sorry to tell you this,
but that's acting like a child.
Where did you get that from?
My sister never cheated on you.
She was desperate to make
Jose Luis leave the ranch.
Speak with my sister.
Ask her for a paternity test,
she'll give it to you,
because that child is yours,
because since she married you,
she hasn't been
with anybody else.
Let's pretend you are right,
that she cheated on you
with Jose Luis.
Let's pretend that child
isn't yours, but what if it is?
Chances are right there.
And if it's yours,
are you going to reject it?
You and I know what a father's
rejection is like.
Will you do the same
to that poor creature?
Will you?
Just because your wife
spoke to you in a bad way,
because her father
had just died.
My sister will come here later,
she wants to fix things.
I hope you think things through.
Whatever decision you make,
I hope you think about it.
You know what to do,
I only remind you that women are
too proud, and they
don't give second chances,
even less when they are
misjudged.
Thanks for listening to me,
I hope you paid attention.
Did he leave?
Yes.
What did he want?
Nothing.
Esmeralda.
What are you doing here?
I came to find you,
but I didn't dare
to ring the bell.
I don't want your mom to bother
me or to see your brother.
Don't pay attention to them,
you are welcome in my house.
Thanks.
I just came to tell you that
I'm very sorry about your dad.
I'm sorry.
[Graciela] Montserrat .
Thank you very much.
I'm leaving now, bye.
Bye.
What were you doing
speaking with that slut?
She works in an awful
place, Montserrat.
Do you want to be seen with her?
You didn't care about that
when you got her in here to
deceive me and make me
think the worst about Jose Luis.
Get over that, please.
You have much more serious
problems to take care of now.
Where were you, princess?
Why didn't you tell me?
I don't have to tell you
what I do anymore.
Don't you realize
I'm really worried about you?
Don't be stubborn,
for Christ's sake.
I'm going to give you a piece of
advice, from mother to daughter.
Look, Montserrat,
you still have time to fix
things with Alejandro.
I think the same, girl.
I already told you that
I'm not going to beg him.
I'm not going to humiliate
myself, besides,
Alejandro will never forgive me,
and I don't think
I could ever forgive him either.
He killed my dad.
Cut that out.
Stop insisting with that,
your dad was very sick.
Whether he spoke
with Alejandro or not,
sooner or later he was
going to have a heart attack.
Besides, if your husband told
him all those things,
it's because you provoked him by
allowing that guy to live under
the same roof as you.
When Alejandro brought my
brother here,
he looked very concerned,
very hurt.
He even looked sad.
Maybe he regrets
having doubted you, girl.
Your aunt is right,
Montserrat.
You have to go see him.
I beg you to put your
pride aside.
Think about your child.
If you don't fix things,
the one that is going to suffer
the most, is that baby.
I don't think that's fair.
Alejandro won't listen to me.
He's too stubborn,
and resentful.
Yes, but you are a woman,
Montserrat.
Women always know the way
to a man's heart, right?
It makes me sad to see
Montserrat dressed up like that,
in black.
She must be devastated
because of her father's death.
That makes sense.
What did she tell you
about Alejandro?
What I suspected.
That Alejandro found out I
pretended I was Antonio Olivarez
to get in his ranch
so I could be near his wife.
So, they are separated.
No.
No?
No, Montserrat told me she
explained things to him and that
he not only understood her, but
he also forgave her.
What?
It sickens me
that he reacted that way.
If Alejandro forgave his wife
it's because he loves her,
but that doesn't mean he doesn't
want to make you pay for that.
Jose Luis, that guy
considered you his friend.
He trusted you.
The fact he found out that
you were at his ranch
to steal his wife,
just imagine,
that guy surely hates you.
That's why I want to give him
my version of what happened.
I can't do it right now
because he's not in Mexico.
They told me he'll come back
in a couple of weeks.
Then forget about all that
and about Montserrat too.
Carry on with your life.
Marry Angelica,
turn over a new leaf.
Montserrat and Alejandro
are still together
despite all the things
that happened.
You have nothing to
worry about anymore.
Brother, carry on
with your life.
I'm sure that if Montserrat
goes to see Alejandro,
he'll forgive her.
Did he tell you that?
No, but he led me
to believe that.
With everything I said to him,
he started hesitating.
That's why it's important
to convince her
to go see him
every day.
Honey, I already tried that,
but your sister
is being stubborn.
You have to insist, Mom.
We have to make use of
Alejandro's emotional state.
We'll see what we can do.
We'll see what we can do.
Monse, I have good news
for you.
Your brother went to see
your husband and it seems like
he's willing to fix things.
He wants to speak with
you, honey.
Has he stopped doubting me?
Well, I don't know.
Dimitrio said that that
was what he led him to believe.
The important thing
is that he's waiting for you.
Here?
No, in his house.
But if he has so much regret,
why doesn't he come for me
Does he want me to
humiliate myself again?
Look, Montserrat, please.
You can't be so arrogant,
princess.
Men have a big ego,
besides,
you have to make
a little sacrifice, too.
Think about your child.
What if he insults me again?
He won't.
Dimitrio is sure about that.
♪♪♪
Good evening.
Where's Alejandro?
In his bedroom.
I wanted him to take me out for
dinner, but he was in a bad mood
and he locked himself in.
Oh, well.
[knocking on door]
Am I interrupting?
No.
How did it go at the company?
Fine.
Everything is fine
at the company.
I wanted to tell you that I saw
your wife this afternoon.
What?
Why did you do that?
Because I'm worried
about you.
Montserrat didn't cheat on
you, Alejandro.
She didn't cheat on you,
don't ask me why,
I spoke only with her and she
was very honest with me.
I saw it in her eyes.
She loves you, Alejandro,
and you love her too.
Don't tell me you don't.
You can't give up
on your happiness
only because
you have suspicions.
Suspicions?
Those aren't suspicions. That
man was living at the ranch.
All right,
but the truth is,
you have nothing to prove
that Montserrat was with him,
or have you?
Her version of the story
is as good as yours.
Don't you see it?
Honestly,
I lean towards her side.
Fine.
I'll talk with Montserrat
once again.
I hope she convinces me
like she convinced you.
Dimitrio told me she was coming
to see me, and if she does,
perhaps it's true
that she loves me.
[doorbell]
I'll get that.
Yes, ma'am.
What are you doing here?
Alejandro brought me here.
He doesn't want to be alone,
and you know, I'm consoling him
in my arms.
Tell my husband
I came to see him.
I don't think
he'll want to see you.
Just tell him I'm here.
That girl is reckless.
Alejandro brought her
here to take revenge on me.
He'll take her to live there,
at the ranch.
As soon as
you get back together,
he'll have to
kick her out again,
but calm down, girl.
I can't calm down,
with the thought
of what they could have done.
Ask him now that you are
going to see him.
I don't think anything
happened between them.
As you said, he only brought her
there to make you angry
Don't think about that.
You are his wife, his woman,
and that girl is no one.
Alejandro said he has nothing
to talk about with you,
that you have to leave,
and that if you want
a last name for your son,
you can ask Jose Luis
Alvarez for his.
I'm sorry, Aunt.
We have nothing to do here.
No, we won't go.
You won't move from here until
you speak with your husband,
and you tell Alejandro
not be a coward,
that he has to come here
and say that to our faces.
Stop it, Aunt, it's no use.
I don't want to be here.
Let's go.
Fine.
Close the door.
I heard the doorbell,
who was that?
The car washer.
He came to ask if he should
wash your van, but I said no.
I'll go to sleep now,
I'm very tired, good night.
Good night.
It's late, Alejandro.
I don't think Montserrat
is going to come today,
but I'm sure
she'll come tomorrow.
Do you think so?
Sure, of course.
Your wife loves you.
Mom, relax.
If Monse doesn't make up with
Alejandro, it's not that bad.
We only have to make him
recognize my nephew
and give him his last name.
That way, Alejandro will have to
give an allowance to my sister,
and it's not going to be
just two cents.
Things aren't that bad.
It can't be.
I trust God and that everything
is going to be all right.
But tell me one thing,
did you really feel Alejandro
was willing
to forgive your sister?
I made him hesitate, at least.
I'm sure I left him thinking.
I told him he should
ask for a paternity test
to prove the child is his,
I assured him that Jose Luis
never touched my sister
when he lived at the ranch.
Like he trusted you so much.
You think that's true?
That's what my sister says,
we have to believe her.
Yes, your sister could have
said that but I have my doubts.
I'm scared that might be a lie.
Just imagine if that kid
is that low grade sailor's baby.
I would die.
I don't even want to imagine the
scandal that would be, Dimitrio.
[door opens]
Could that be
Montserrat and your aunt?
I don't think so,
so quickly?
I don't know.
Let's go check, sweetie.
Why did you come back
so quickly?
Wasn't Alejandro at his place?
Yes, he was, but he didn't
want to see me.
Why?
That big jerk only made me go
to humiliate me.
If you still have some dignity,
you won't dare to beg him again.
I don't want you to go to him
again, are we clear?
What happened, Carlota?
My niece is right,
Alejandro is a jerk.
He's dumb.
You know what he said to us
through that girl?
Who?
The one that works in the
ranch, Maria.
Now she's living with Alejandro.
Your sister suspects
she is his lover.
Dear God, no.
Look, Carlota,
leave your mysteries
and your fantasies aside,
what did Alejandro say?
That if Montserrat was looking
for a last name for her child,
she should ask
Jose Luis Alvarez for one.
All right,
I'll go to the company.
Are you coming?
No, I'd rather stay
in the house.
Will you wait for Montserrat?
Yes.
Fine,
I'll see you later then.
Cheer up.
Everything is going to be fine.
Cheer up.
Hello.
I don't want to be in Agua Azul,
why don't we
go back to the ranch?
Cut that out, please.
I don't understand
why we are still here.
Why do you want to stay
here anymore?
I already explained, Maria.
I have some other things
to do.
I'm bored of being here.
Besides, you promised me we were
going to go on a trip together.
Perhaps we won't be making
that trip anymore.
Why do you say "perhaps"?
Depending on what?
You need to know about this.
If I go back to the ranch,
I'm probably
going to go without you.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I already gave it
a lot of thought,
and we have no other choice.
You'll have to marry that freak.
Hold on.
Yesterday, I saw Alejandro and he
was going to forgive my sister,
what happened with that?
I don't know what happened.
I'm sure he found out
that Jose Luis Alvarez was here
and that he was looking
for your sister.
I don't think so.
I don't think so, but I hope
so, so he kills that bastard.
Are you crazy?
Don't even say that.
What if that sailor ends up
killing Alejandro?
That would be full circle.
My sister would become a widow,
she would keep all the money
and our problems are over.
That's right.
But for our own bad luck,
that sailor is no longer
interested in your sister,
because that social climber
is about to marry
guess who?
Angelica Arechiga.
That's why I don't understand
why he came
looking for your sister,
when it's best for him
to stay with that girl.
He would inherit all her money
when she dies,
just imagine that.
This can't be, Jose Luis
is becoming a millionaire
and we are on the streets.
God squeezes, sweetie,
but he doesn't strangle.
We still have Finita's option.
Thanks to your marriage to her,
we won't have reason
to worry
so. You are taking too long.
Go see her, because you have to
take care of business, sweetie.
Don't let it go.
Whatever you say.
Come on, quickly.
Go on, honey.
I want good news.
Hello.
Nadia, how are you?
Mrs. Graciela,
how are you?
Well, you can imagine.
I'm very sad,
I'm going through a lot of pain
for having lost my husband.
I can imagine that.
I hope I'm not impudent,
but I'm looking for Montserrat.
She's in her bedroom.
She hasn't gotten up yet,
she seems to be
having a hard time, too.
She'll be glad to see you.
Come in, Nadia,
I'll walk you.
Thanks.
Honey, you have a visitor.
Nadia.
Hi, friend. How are you?
Tired, but I'm glad
you came to see me.
I'll leave the two of you
so you can talk.
Excuse me.
Thanks.
You aren't okay, are you?
No, I'm feeling very sad.
It hurts me that my dad died.
I understand that, but,
you have to let it go,
and understand that his heart
was very weak already, Monse.
Yes, but if he hadn't gone
to see Alejandro,
my daddy would be here, with me.
Alejandro is responsible
for his death.
Don't say that.
Nadia, Alejandro is the worst
person in the world.
He's cruel, vengeful.
Why? What happened?
Last night,
I went to his house thinking
we were going to reconcile,
or that's what he made
Dimitrio believe
when he asked him
to have me see him.
You know why he wanted me
to go see him?
To humiliate me, again.
To tell me horrible things,
and you know
the worst part?
He didn't even tell me
that himself.
He sent his lover to insult me.
That girl Maria, right?
Yes, how did
you know?
Yesterday I saw them
at the town plaza.
They were together.
Friend, I'm sorry.
It feels horrible to say this,
but people are already talking,
all Agua Azul
is wondering why Alejandro
didn't go
to your father's funeral.
The gossip is going to get
a lot worse
if he keeps going
everywhere with that girl.
Let them say
whatever they want.
I don't care.
I was sure everything
was going to be all right
between you two.
Victor swore to me that
Alejandro still loves you.
It's impossible for us to
make peace.
I'm very hurt, Nadia.
I'm angry, because of the way
he behaved with me.
And your child?
Have you thought about the
baby you are having?
My child?
My child is going to be named
after his grandpa.
He's much more decent and worthy
than his father.
My baby isn't going to be an
Almonte.
Honey, I'm glad you came.
Honey?
Look, Dimitiro,
I know you are going through
a very difficult time.
Your father has just died,
I understand you.
You understand nothing.
I don't care the old man died.
How can you say that?
It's the truth.
He never loved me,
I never loved him,
end of story.
No.
I know that's not true,
and that it hurts you
having lost him.
I know it.
The only thing you care about
is the wedding
not being postponed
despite everything.
Perhaps we should consider--
No.
We are going to get married.
Fine, as you wish.
While we are on that subject,
I want to talk with you.
Sit down, please.
Please.
You know I have money issues,
and obviously, that old fart
didn't leave anything for me.
We'll have to live
with your money.
I don't get it,
weren't you going to work
at Alejandro's company,
here in Agua Azul?
No, Alejandro had a fight
with my sister and he doesn't
want to have anything
to do with the family.
But you owe him money,
Dimitrio.
So what?
He abandoned my sister with
his child in her belly.
You think I'll pay that
jerk back?
I want you to talk with your
notary and tell him to give me
the power to administer and access all
your holdings, all right?
Relax, it's to make things
more practical, okay?
If I have to spend money on the
house, or for the groceries,
I don't want to be asking you
for money every day.
Although,
I'd rather you discussed
all these things with Tomas.
With Tomas? Why Tomas?
You are an adult now,
make your own decisions.
It's your money, isn't it?
Look, if I tolerate
your brother, I do it for you.
But let's be clear on this,
from the day we get married,
the one ruling this house,
is me.
I don't want your brother
sticking his nose
where he shouldn't.
You'll run everything
by me, are we clear?
Yes, as you say,
honey.
♪♪♪
[doorbell]
It's you.
Sorry, I left my keys at
the office.
What happened?
Did you speak with Montserrat?
No. She hasn't come
at all.
But your brother-in-law said--
Whatever,
Dimitrio or his mother say,
you can only believe half of it.
That's for sure.
Why don't you go find her?
My niece barely ate, right?
She didn't,
and that worries me.
I'm worried about her and
the baby.
Yes, it mortifies me too.
We have to do
something, Rosario.
My niece needs
to take care of herself.
You know what, Mrs. Carlota?
I've been thinking a lot about
what you said to me.
I believe you are right.
What are you talking about?
About me seeing Alejandro,
and telling him the truth.
That I'm his mother.
Really, Rosario?
Are you willing to do that
for Montserrat?
I have to do it,
Mrs. Carlota.
I don't want history
to repeat itself.
My grandson
can't be born like this,
like my son was born --
without a father that supports
him and that takes care of him.
Tomas, I wasn't
expecting you,
why didn't you tell me
you were coming back today?
Your wedding is very close,
isn't it?
Yes. How did it go in
Mexico?
Fine, everything is
okay there.
Is there any news in Agua Azul?
A couple of ugly things have
happened, Tomas.
Don't tell me Dimitrio
has disappeared again.
No.
He does want to marry me.
But there's one thing that has
me very worried, Tomas.
Relax Finita, calm down.
Let's have a seat and tell me
about it, okay?
Honey.
I missed you.
Me, too.
How are you?
Very good.
How are you feeling?
A lot better.
Wonderful!
Even better
when you are with me.
Come, have a seat.
I have a surprise for you.
Tell me.
Captain Robledo
has promoted me.
How's that?
Now I'm a lieutenant.
That's great, honey.
Congratulations.
Does that mean you have no more
problems with the authorities?
No problems.
How great.
You know
the best part?
That when I went out
on the streets,
I felt free, with no fears,
without worries,
I felt happy.
That makes me glad, honey.
That makes me so glad.
I didn't dare to tell him
that the power is in your name.
You did right, Josefina,
because if that bastard realizes
he won't be able to get
anything from this marriage,
he could even blow you off.
I'm scared.
How is he going to react
when he finds out?
He'll get furious at me, Tomas.
Brother, why can't
we do what he wants?
I have lots of money.
Josefina are you dumb
or what?
After all the things
he did to you,
you still want to reward him.
That's not right, Josefina.
It's so comfortable for him,
he marries you,
and he lives like a king,
enjoying all your money the way
he wants.
Of course not, Josefina.
Dimitrio Mendoza has to pay for
what he did to you,
and I'll take care of that.
Don't be like that, Tomas.
You will make him hate me.
What I want-what I need,
is Dimitrio to love me.
If you aren't okay with this,
we have time to cancel
the wedding.
No, Tomas.
Then we have no reason
to keep arguing any more.
Things are going to be done
my way, period.
But--
Tomas,
why do I want to have
so much money
if I can't share it with
the people who are close to me?
Josefina, you have to
share that money
with your children,
if you have any someday,
but not with that bastard.
As soon as Dimitrio brings
that subject up again,
you tell him you already spoke
with your lawyer and with me,
and that you are going to
sign those papers
the day of your wedding
if he wants to get married.
Then, I'll take care
of having a chat with him.
Are we clear?
Good morning, ma'am.
Look at you, aren't you
going to get up today either?
Yes, but later.
Your mom and your aunt left
very early for the mass.
I should have gone there too.
Don't worry,
you can pray to God for your
daddy's eternal rest from here.
Come on, eat something.
Yesterday you barely ate
anything.
That's not good, not for you,
not for the baby.
You are right, Rosario.
Ma'am, I wanted to
ask for your
permission to go out.
Yes, sure.
Where do you want to go?
Well, to see the boss.
Alejandro.
What for?
I don't want you or him
to keep suffering.
I'm sure he's having
a tough time, too.
Someone has to tell him he
shouldn't mistrust you.
I don't know much about what
happened between you two,
but I know you are good.
I appreciate your concern,
Rosario,
but I don't think
you'll be able to convince him.
I don't think
he'll even see you.
He'll see me, ma'am.
That's--
for sure.
Who else did you see
in Agua Azul?
Did you see your friends?
No, no one was there.
Here.
Thanks.
But, I learned
some terrible news.
What happened?
The Admiral Mendoza is dead.
Montserrat's father?
Yes.
Poor dear.
I figured she was in town, too.
Did you see her?
Did you see her?
No, I didn't see her.
Rosario, what are you
doing here?
Can I help you?
Yes, Victor.
Do me a favor.
Go get Alejandro.
Tell him his mother is here.
What did you just say,
Rosario?
You heard me.
Yes, Alejandro is your son,
but how's that possible?
I have no reason
to answer your questions.
The explanations
are only for him.
Go, and tell him I'm
here.
Alejandro isn't here,
he's just left.
Will he be long?
He went back to the ranch.
Has he left?
But why?
Yesterday
he spent the whole day here,
waiting for Montserrat,
but she never showed up.
I was sure they were going to
make peace, but--
Alejandro got desperate and made
the wrong decision and left.
You said Alejandro was
waiting for her?
Yes.
How would she know?
Please, Rosario, don't leave.
You and I have to talk.
I already told you.
The explanations are for my son,
and only for him.
So, please,
don't ask me any questions.
Rosario, please.
I hope you don't say anything
until I speak with him again.
Yes, of course.
Thanks a lot.
Excuse me.
Thanks for listening to me,
Alejandro.
I'm glad that we came back
to the ranch.
I'm not, but I recognize you
were right.
There was no point
in staying in Agua Azul.
You don't want to be here,
do you?
Every corner of this house
reminds me of her.
[cell phone rings]
Who's that?
Victor.
Aren't you going to pick up?
No.
I need to get away from
everything, and from everyone.
From me too?
No, not from you.
I promised you we were going on
a trip, remember?
Are we going to go?
Yes.
For how long?
I don't know, one or two
months, maybe more.
Fine, I'll go pack then.
Don't pack many things,
we'll buy whatever we need
wherever we go.
I'm so excited.
Hurry up.
I want to leave
as soon as possible.
I won't be long.
What's up with you?
Don't you know how to say hi?
Why, the Alejandro I knew
didn't come back yet.
Come with me to the office.
Ma'am.
The boss went back to the ranch, but Mr.
Victor told me that he waited
for you and, given that you
didn't show up,
he got angry and left.
But I went there, Rosario.
Alejandro told me through Maria
that he didn't want to see me.
It probably was another lie
of hers.
Mr. Victor told me that
Mr. Alejandro waited for you.
He was sure you were going to
make peace.
Did Victor really tell
you that?
Yes.
I don't know.
Maybe Alejandro
changed his mind,
because from what Maria told me,
no one could have told
her that other than him.
She mentioned
the name of the man
Alejandro thinks
I cheated on him with.
Jose Luis Alvarez.
Yes.
Even I have heard that name,
ma'am.
I'm sure Maria heard it too
and she took advantage
of that to tell you lies.
You know her,
you know what she's capable of.
Where are you going?
Come with me.
Where to?
To the ranch.
No, Rosario.
Yes.
I'm not going there
to expose myself.
Are you going to stay here
with your arms folded?
Think about your son.
I'm not going to go to the
ranch, Rosario.
Stop insisting.
Why not?
First, because we don't know
if Maria lied or not.
Second, I don't want to
humiliate myself anymore.
I won't let Alejandro keep
hurting me that way.
Then call him on the phone.
He won't even let me talk,
he'll hang up the phone
as soon as he hears my voice.
What if you write him a love
letter in your own handwriting?
Think about it, ma'am.
That way he wouldn't be able
to interrupt you.
You'd be able to explain
everything to him
so Mr. Alejandro can
read it again and again,
as many times as he needs to,
until all his doubts
are cleared.
A letter?
Yes, ma'am.
Write it down.
There's enough money
in the safe.
However, I'll leave you some
signed checks,
just in case you have problems.
So, you don't know when you
are going to come back.
No.
But I'm calm, Macario.
I know the ranch will be okay
with you in charge.
[phone rings]
Why are you doing that?
Because I don't want to talk
to anybody.
You'll have to talk to me.
Leave us alone, Macario.
Yes, sure.
Take care of him, Father.
Sit down, please.
Tell me, what happened?
Did you see your wife?
Yes.
The day I handed over the
admiral's body.
Poor little girl.
I imagine the awful surprise
she got.
Anyway, tell me,
have you talked with her
about your child?
Have you finally settled things?
No.
Why, son?
I asked you to do that.
If I had evidence, Father--
You'll have it
when your child is born.
Meanwhile, you'll have to
settle for her word.
I don't trust her word,
I already told you that.
Montserrat has lied to me
since I met her.
She married me because of my
money, she tried to abandon me,
she hid her lover in my house.
How can I trust
a woman like that?
All of that
has an explanation.
Yes, explanations
she gave me,
but I don't believe them.
♪♪♪
But I already explained
what happened to him.
I told him I had never
cheated on him with you.
He forgave me.
Did he?
[clears throat]
He forgave you?
Apparently, Alejandro loves you
more than I imagined.
As much as I love him.
Thanks for walking me
to my house, Nadia.
Would you like to have a drink?
I could prepare some tea.
No, thanks, Josefina.
I'll leave before it gets late.
[doorbell]
Yes, hello.
Hi, good afternoon,
I'm Victor Hernandez.
May I speak with Nadia, please?
Victor, how did you know
I was here?
Come in, please.
Thanks.
I saw you at the plaza
and I followed you.
I need to speak with you.
Would you leave us alone for
a moment so we can talk?
Victor is a very good friend
of Alejandro Almonte.
Of course,
make yourselves at home.
Thanks.
I just wanted you to know
that I spoke with Montserrat
and she explained things to me.
I think she was honest.
I'll try to convince Alejandro
so he listens to her.
He's feeling bad about what
happened with his father-in-law.
I think this is a good chance
to try to make them reconcile.
Thank you very much for
trying to help my friend.
What about us?
What's going to happen
with you and me?
I can't be away from you,
and this distance is killing me.
Victor, not here, please.
Josefina could hear us.
Just explain this to me,
at the plaza, we ran into
Alejandro and that girl, Maria.
What's up between them?
Send a big kiss to Angelica
from me, and tell her
that I wish you happiness with
all my heart.
I'll tell her.
Good afternoon.
Look who's here.
Can I speak with you,
Alejandro?
In private.
Leave us alone,
Maria, please.
It hurt me that you
didn't go to my dad's funeral.
Your sister blamed me
for his death
and told me she didn't want to
see me ever again.
How could you listen to her?
Her dad just died, the person
she loved the most in her life.
You can't take that personally.
Can we sit down?
Remember the first talk
we had here,
when we spoke about your
commitment to my sister?
I remember perfectly.
That time you told me that
there wasn't any other man
in Montserrat's life,
other than me.
Yes, I lied to you.
But I didn't lie to you
when I told you that my father
and my sister are decent,
worthy people.
You lied about that, too.
A woman with the qualities you
mention wouldn't marry a guy
just for his money,
and she wouldn't cheat on him.
That's exactly
where you are wrong.
That's your mistake,
a pretty serious one.
You know what, Dimitrio?
Just leave.
I don't want to listen to you.
Calm down.
We are just talking, relax.
Please.
We both know who I am,
but my sister is very different.
She's very different than me.
Yes, you are right on that.
She's one thousand times
worse than you.
I'm sorry to tell you this,
but that's acting like a child.
Where did you get that from?
My sister never cheated on you.
She was desperate to make
Jose Luis leave the ranch.
Speak with my sister.
Ask her for a paternity test,
she'll give it to you,
because that child is yours,
because since she married you,
she hasn't been
with anybody else.
Let's pretend you are right,
that she cheated on you
with Jose Luis.
Let's pretend that child
isn't yours, but what if it is?
Chances are right there.
And if it's yours,
are you going to reject it?
You and I know what a father's
rejection is like.
Will you do the same
to that poor creature?
Will you?
Just because your wife
spoke to you in a bad way,
because her father
had just died.
My sister will come here later,
she wants to fix things.
I hope you think things through.
Whatever decision you make,
I hope you think about it.
You know what to do,
I only remind you that women are
too proud, and they
don't give second chances,
even less when they are
misjudged.
Thanks for listening to me,
I hope you paid attention.
Did he leave?
Yes.
What did he want?
Nothing.
Esmeralda.
What are you doing here?
I came to find you,
but I didn't dare
to ring the bell.
I don't want your mom to bother
me or to see your brother.
Don't pay attention to them,
you are welcome in my house.
Thanks.
I just came to tell you that
I'm very sorry about your dad.
I'm sorry.
[Graciela] Montserrat .
Thank you very much.
I'm leaving now, bye.
Bye.
What were you doing
speaking with that slut?
She works in an awful
place, Montserrat.
Do you want to be seen with her?
You didn't care about that
when you got her in here to
deceive me and make me
think the worst about Jose Luis.
Get over that, please.
You have much more serious
problems to take care of now.
Where were you, princess?
Why didn't you tell me?
I don't have to tell you
what I do anymore.
Don't you realize
I'm really worried about you?
Don't be stubborn,
for Christ's sake.
I'm going to give you a piece of
advice, from mother to daughter.
Look, Montserrat,
you still have time to fix
things with Alejandro.
I think the same, girl.
I already told you that
I'm not going to beg him.
I'm not going to humiliate
myself, besides,
Alejandro will never forgive me,
and I don't think
I could ever forgive him either.
He killed my dad.
Cut that out.
Stop insisting with that,
your dad was very sick.
Whether he spoke
with Alejandro or not,
sooner or later he was
going to have a heart attack.
Besides, if your husband told
him all those things,
it's because you provoked him by
allowing that guy to live under
the same roof as you.
When Alejandro brought my
brother here,
he looked very concerned,
very hurt.
He even looked sad.
Maybe he regrets
having doubted you, girl.
Your aunt is right,
Montserrat.
You have to go see him.
I beg you to put your
pride aside.
Think about your child.
If you don't fix things,
the one that is going to suffer
the most, is that baby.
I don't think that's fair.
Alejandro won't listen to me.
He's too stubborn,
and resentful.
Yes, but you are a woman,
Montserrat.
Women always know the way
to a man's heart, right?
It makes me sad to see
Montserrat dressed up like that,
in black.
She must be devastated
because of her father's death.
That makes sense.
What did she tell you
about Alejandro?
What I suspected.
That Alejandro found out I
pretended I was Antonio Olivarez
to get in his ranch
so I could be near his wife.
So, they are separated.
No.
No?
No, Montserrat told me she
explained things to him and that
he not only understood her, but
he also forgave her.
What?
It sickens me
that he reacted that way.
If Alejandro forgave his wife
it's because he loves her,
but that doesn't mean he doesn't
want to make you pay for that.
Jose Luis, that guy
considered you his friend.
He trusted you.
The fact he found out that
you were at his ranch
to steal his wife,
just imagine,
that guy surely hates you.
That's why I want to give him
my version of what happened.
I can't do it right now
because he's not in Mexico.
They told me he'll come back
in a couple of weeks.
Then forget about all that
and about Montserrat too.
Carry on with your life.
Marry Angelica,
turn over a new leaf.
Montserrat and Alejandro
are still together
despite all the things
that happened.
You have nothing to
worry about anymore.
Brother, carry on
with your life.
I'm sure that if Montserrat
goes to see Alejandro,
he'll forgive her.
Did he tell you that?
No, but he led me
to believe that.
With everything I said to him,
he started hesitating.
That's why it's important
to convince her
to go see him
every day.
Honey, I already tried that,
but your sister
is being stubborn.
You have to insist, Mom.
We have to make use of
Alejandro's emotional state.
We'll see what we can do.
We'll see what we can do.
Monse, I have good news
for you.
Your brother went to see
your husband and it seems like
he's willing to fix things.
He wants to speak with
you, honey.
Has he stopped doubting me?
Well, I don't know.
Dimitrio said that that
was what he led him to believe.
The important thing
is that he's waiting for you.
Here?
No, in his house.
But if he has so much regret,
why doesn't he come for me
Does he want me to
humiliate myself again?
Look, Montserrat, please.
You can't be so arrogant,
princess.
Men have a big ego,
besides,
you have to make
a little sacrifice, too.
Think about your child.
What if he insults me again?
He won't.
Dimitrio is sure about that.
♪♪♪
Good evening.
Where's Alejandro?
In his bedroom.
I wanted him to take me out for
dinner, but he was in a bad mood
and he locked himself in.
Oh, well.
[knocking on door]
Am I interrupting?
No.
How did it go at the company?
Fine.
Everything is fine
at the company.
I wanted to tell you that I saw
your wife this afternoon.
What?
Why did you do that?
Because I'm worried
about you.
Montserrat didn't cheat on
you, Alejandro.
She didn't cheat on you,
don't ask me why,
I spoke only with her and she
was very honest with me.
I saw it in her eyes.
She loves you, Alejandro,
and you love her too.
Don't tell me you don't.
You can't give up
on your happiness
only because
you have suspicions.
Suspicions?
Those aren't suspicions. That
man was living at the ranch.
All right,
but the truth is,
you have nothing to prove
that Montserrat was with him,
or have you?
Her version of the story
is as good as yours.
Don't you see it?
Honestly,
I lean towards her side.
Fine.
I'll talk with Montserrat
once again.
I hope she convinces me
like she convinced you.
Dimitrio told me she was coming
to see me, and if she does,
perhaps it's true
that she loves me.
[doorbell]
I'll get that.
Yes, ma'am.
What are you doing here?
Alejandro brought me here.
He doesn't want to be alone,
and you know, I'm consoling him
in my arms.
Tell my husband
I came to see him.
I don't think
he'll want to see you.
Just tell him I'm here.
That girl is reckless.
Alejandro brought her
here to take revenge on me.
He'll take her to live there,
at the ranch.
As soon as
you get back together,
he'll have to
kick her out again,
but calm down, girl.
I can't calm down,
with the thought
of what they could have done.
Ask him now that you are
going to see him.
I don't think anything
happened between them.
As you said, he only brought her
there to make you angry
Don't think about that.
You are his wife, his woman,
and that girl is no one.
Alejandro said he has nothing
to talk about with you,
that you have to leave,
and that if you want
a last name for your son,
you can ask Jose Luis
Alvarez for his.
I'm sorry, Aunt.
We have nothing to do here.
No, we won't go.
You won't move from here until
you speak with your husband,
and you tell Alejandro
not be a coward,
that he has to come here
and say that to our faces.
Stop it, Aunt, it's no use.
I don't want to be here.
Let's go.
Fine.
Close the door.
I heard the doorbell,
who was that?
The car washer.
He came to ask if he should
wash your van, but I said no.
I'll go to sleep now,
I'm very tired, good night.
Good night.
It's late, Alejandro.
I don't think Montserrat
is going to come today,
but I'm sure
she'll come tomorrow.
Do you think so?
Sure, of course.
Your wife loves you.
Mom, relax.
If Monse doesn't make up with
Alejandro, it's not that bad.
We only have to make him
recognize my nephew
and give him his last name.
That way, Alejandro will have to
give an allowance to my sister,
and it's not going to be
just two cents.
Things aren't that bad.
It can't be.
I trust God and that everything
is going to be all right.
But tell me one thing,
did you really feel Alejandro
was willing
to forgive your sister?
I made him hesitate, at least.
I'm sure I left him thinking.
I told him he should
ask for a paternity test
to prove the child is his,
I assured him that Jose Luis
never touched my sister
when he lived at the ranch.
Like he trusted you so much.
You think that's true?
That's what my sister says,
we have to believe her.
Yes, your sister could have
said that but I have my doubts.
I'm scared that might be a lie.
Just imagine if that kid
is that low grade sailor's baby.
I would die.
I don't even want to imagine the
scandal that would be, Dimitrio.
[door opens]
Could that be
Montserrat and your aunt?
I don't think so,
so quickly?
I don't know.
Let's go check, sweetie.
Why did you come back
so quickly?
Wasn't Alejandro at his place?
Yes, he was, but he didn't
want to see me.
Why?
That big jerk only made me go
to humiliate me.
If you still have some dignity,
you won't dare to beg him again.
I don't want you to go to him
again, are we clear?
What happened, Carlota?
My niece is right,
Alejandro is a jerk.
He's dumb.
You know what he said to us
through that girl?
Who?
The one that works in the
ranch, Maria.
Now she's living with Alejandro.
Your sister suspects
she is his lover.
Dear God, no.
Look, Carlota,
leave your mysteries
and your fantasies aside,
what did Alejandro say?
That if Montserrat was looking
for a last name for her child,
she should ask
Jose Luis Alvarez for one.
All right,
I'll go to the company.
Are you coming?
No, I'd rather stay
in the house.
Will you wait for Montserrat?
Yes.
Fine,
I'll see you later then.
Cheer up.
Everything is going to be fine.
Cheer up.
Hello.
I don't want to be in Agua Azul,
why don't we
go back to the ranch?
Cut that out, please.
I don't understand
why we are still here.
Why do you want to stay
here anymore?
I already explained, Maria.
I have some other things
to do.
I'm bored of being here.
Besides, you promised me we were
going to go on a trip together.
Perhaps we won't be making
that trip anymore.
Why do you say "perhaps"?
Depending on what?
You need to know about this.
If I go back to the ranch,
I'm probably
going to go without you.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I already gave it
a lot of thought,
and we have no other choice.
You'll have to marry that freak.
Hold on.
Yesterday, I saw Alejandro and he
was going to forgive my sister,
what happened with that?
I don't know what happened.
I'm sure he found out
that Jose Luis Alvarez was here
and that he was looking
for your sister.
I don't think so.
I don't think so, but I hope
so, so he kills that bastard.
Are you crazy?
Don't even say that.
What if that sailor ends up
killing Alejandro?
That would be full circle.
My sister would become a widow,
she would keep all the money
and our problems are over.
That's right.
But for our own bad luck,
that sailor is no longer
interested in your sister,
because that social climber
is about to marry
guess who?
Angelica Arechiga.
That's why I don't understand
why he came
looking for your sister,
when it's best for him
to stay with that girl.
He would inherit all her money
when she dies,
just imagine that.
This can't be, Jose Luis
is becoming a millionaire
and we are on the streets.
God squeezes, sweetie,
but he doesn't strangle.
We still have Finita's option.
Thanks to your marriage to her,
we won't have reason
to worry
so. You are taking too long.
Go see her, because you have to
take care of business, sweetie.
Don't let it go.
Whatever you say.
Come on, quickly.
Go on, honey.
I want good news.
Hello.
Nadia, how are you?
Mrs. Graciela,
how are you?
Well, you can imagine.
I'm very sad,
I'm going through a lot of pain
for having lost my husband.
I can imagine that.
I hope I'm not impudent,
but I'm looking for Montserrat.
She's in her bedroom.
She hasn't gotten up yet,
she seems to be
having a hard time, too.
She'll be glad to see you.
Come in, Nadia,
I'll walk you.
Thanks.
Honey, you have a visitor.
Nadia.
Hi, friend. How are you?
Tired, but I'm glad
you came to see me.
I'll leave the two of you
so you can talk.
Excuse me.
Thanks.
You aren't okay, are you?
No, I'm feeling very sad.
It hurts me that my dad died.
I understand that, but,
you have to let it go,
and understand that his heart
was very weak already, Monse.
Yes, but if he hadn't gone
to see Alejandro,
my daddy would be here, with me.
Alejandro is responsible
for his death.
Don't say that.
Nadia, Alejandro is the worst
person in the world.
He's cruel, vengeful.
Why? What happened?
Last night,
I went to his house thinking
we were going to reconcile,
or that's what he made
Dimitrio believe
when he asked him
to have me see him.
You know why he wanted me
to go see him?
To humiliate me, again.
To tell me horrible things,
and you know
the worst part?
He didn't even tell me
that himself.
He sent his lover to insult me.
That girl Maria, right?
Yes, how did
you know?
Yesterday I saw them
at the town plaza.
They were together.
Friend, I'm sorry.
It feels horrible to say this,
but people are already talking,
all Agua Azul
is wondering why Alejandro
didn't go
to your father's funeral.
The gossip is going to get
a lot worse
if he keeps going
everywhere with that girl.
Let them say
whatever they want.
I don't care.
I was sure everything
was going to be all right
between you two.
Victor swore to me that
Alejandro still loves you.
It's impossible for us to
make peace.
I'm very hurt, Nadia.
I'm angry, because of the way
he behaved with me.
And your child?
Have you thought about the
baby you are having?
My child?
My child is going to be named
after his grandpa.
He's much more decent and worthy
than his father.
My baby isn't going to be an
Almonte.
Honey, I'm glad you came.
Honey?
Look, Dimitiro,
I know you are going through
a very difficult time.
Your father has just died,
I understand you.
You understand nothing.
I don't care the old man died.
How can you say that?
It's the truth.
He never loved me,
I never loved him,
end of story.
No.
I know that's not true,
and that it hurts you
having lost him.
I know it.
The only thing you care about
is the wedding
not being postponed
despite everything.
Perhaps we should consider--
No.
We are going to get married.
Fine, as you wish.
While we are on that subject,
I want to talk with you.
Sit down, please.
Please.
You know I have money issues,
and obviously, that old fart
didn't leave anything for me.
We'll have to live
with your money.
I don't get it,
weren't you going to work
at Alejandro's company,
here in Agua Azul?
No, Alejandro had a fight
with my sister and he doesn't
want to have anything
to do with the family.
But you owe him money,
Dimitrio.
So what?
He abandoned my sister with
his child in her belly.
You think I'll pay that
jerk back?
I want you to talk with your
notary and tell him to give me
the power to administer and access all
your holdings, all right?
Relax, it's to make things
more practical, okay?
If I have to spend money on the
house, or for the groceries,
I don't want to be asking you
for money every day.
Although,
I'd rather you discussed
all these things with Tomas.
With Tomas? Why Tomas?
You are an adult now,
make your own decisions.
It's your money, isn't it?
Look, if I tolerate
your brother, I do it for you.
But let's be clear on this,
from the day we get married,
the one ruling this house,
is me.
I don't want your brother
sticking his nose
where he shouldn't.
You'll run everything
by me, are we clear?
Yes, as you say,
honey.
♪♪♪
[doorbell]
It's you.
Sorry, I left my keys at
the office.
What happened?
Did you speak with Montserrat?
No. She hasn't come
at all.
But your brother-in-law said--
Whatever,
Dimitrio or his mother say,
you can only believe half of it.
That's for sure.
Why don't you go find her?
My niece barely ate, right?
She didn't,
and that worries me.
I'm worried about her and
the baby.
Yes, it mortifies me too.
We have to do
something, Rosario.
My niece needs
to take care of herself.
You know what, Mrs. Carlota?
I've been thinking a lot about
what you said to me.
I believe you are right.
What are you talking about?
About me seeing Alejandro,
and telling him the truth.
That I'm his mother.
Really, Rosario?
Are you willing to do that
for Montserrat?
I have to do it,
Mrs. Carlota.
I don't want history
to repeat itself.
My grandson
can't be born like this,
like my son was born --
without a father that supports
him and that takes care of him.
Tomas, I wasn't
expecting you,
why didn't you tell me
you were coming back today?
Your wedding is very close,
isn't it?
Yes. How did it go in
Mexico?
Fine, everything is
okay there.
Is there any news in Agua Azul?
A couple of ugly things have
happened, Tomas.
Don't tell me Dimitrio
has disappeared again.
No.
He does want to marry me.
But there's one thing that has
me very worried, Tomas.
Relax Finita, calm down.
Let's have a seat and tell me
about it, okay?
Honey.
I missed you.
Me, too.
How are you?
Very good.
How are you feeling?
A lot better.
Wonderful!
Even better
when you are with me.
Come, have a seat.
I have a surprise for you.
Tell me.
Captain Robledo
has promoted me.
How's that?
Now I'm a lieutenant.
That's great, honey.
Congratulations.
Does that mean you have no more
problems with the authorities?
No problems.
How great.
You know
the best part?
That when I went out
on the streets,
I felt free, with no fears,
without worries,
I felt happy.
That makes me glad, honey.
That makes me so glad.
I didn't dare to tell him
that the power is in your name.
You did right, Josefina,
because if that bastard realizes
he won't be able to get
anything from this marriage,
he could even blow you off.
I'm scared.
How is he going to react
when he finds out?
He'll get furious at me, Tomas.
Brother, why can't
we do what he wants?
I have lots of money.
Josefina are you dumb
or what?
After all the things
he did to you,
you still want to reward him.
That's not right, Josefina.
It's so comfortable for him,
he marries you,
and he lives like a king,
enjoying all your money the way
he wants.
Of course not, Josefina.
Dimitrio Mendoza has to pay for
what he did to you,
and I'll take care of that.
Don't be like that, Tomas.
You will make him hate me.
What I want-what I need,
is Dimitrio to love me.
If you aren't okay with this,
we have time to cancel
the wedding.
No, Tomas.
Then we have no reason
to keep arguing any more.
Things are going to be done
my way, period.
But--
Tomas,
why do I want to have
so much money
if I can't share it with
the people who are close to me?
Josefina, you have to
share that money
with your children,
if you have any someday,
but not with that bastard.
As soon as Dimitrio brings
that subject up again,
you tell him you already spoke
with your lawyer and with me,
and that you are going to
sign those papers
the day of your wedding
if he wants to get married.
Then, I'll take care
of having a chat with him.
Are we clear?
Good morning, ma'am.
Look at you, aren't you
going to get up today either?
Yes, but later.
Your mom and your aunt left
very early for the mass.
I should have gone there too.
Don't worry,
you can pray to God for your
daddy's eternal rest from here.
Come on, eat something.
Yesterday you barely ate
anything.
That's not good, not for you,
not for the baby.
You are right, Rosario.
Ma'am, I wanted to
ask for your
permission to go out.
Yes, sure.
Where do you want to go?
Well, to see the boss.
Alejandro.
What for?
I don't want you or him
to keep suffering.
I'm sure he's having
a tough time, too.
Someone has to tell him he
shouldn't mistrust you.
I don't know much about what
happened between you two,
but I know you are good.
I appreciate your concern,
Rosario,
but I don't think
you'll be able to convince him.
I don't think
he'll even see you.
He'll see me, ma'am.
That's--
for sure.
Who else did you see
in Agua Azul?
Did you see your friends?
No, no one was there.
Here.
Thanks.
But, I learned
some terrible news.
What happened?
The Admiral Mendoza is dead.
Montserrat's father?
Yes.
Poor dear.
I figured she was in town, too.
Did you see her?
Did you see her?
No, I didn't see her.
Rosario, what are you
doing here?
Can I help you?
Yes, Victor.
Do me a favor.
Go get Alejandro.
Tell him his mother is here.
What did you just say,
Rosario?
You heard me.
Yes, Alejandro is your son,
but how's that possible?
I have no reason
to answer your questions.
The explanations
are only for him.
Go, and tell him I'm
here.
Alejandro isn't here,
he's just left.
Will he be long?
He went back to the ranch.
Has he left?
But why?
Yesterday
he spent the whole day here,
waiting for Montserrat,
but she never showed up.
I was sure they were going to
make peace, but--
Alejandro got desperate and made
the wrong decision and left.
You said Alejandro was
waiting for her?
Yes.
How would she know?
Please, Rosario, don't leave.
You and I have to talk.
I already told you.
The explanations are for my son,
and only for him.
So, please,
don't ask me any questions.
Rosario, please.
I hope you don't say anything
until I speak with him again.
Yes, of course.
Thanks a lot.
Excuse me.
Thanks for listening to me,
Alejandro.
I'm glad that we came back
to the ranch.
I'm not, but I recognize you
were right.
There was no point
in staying in Agua Azul.
You don't want to be here,
do you?
Every corner of this house
reminds me of her.
[cell phone rings]
Who's that?
Victor.
Aren't you going to pick up?
No.
I need to get away from
everything, and from everyone.
From me too?
No, not from you.
I promised you we were going on
a trip, remember?
Are we going to go?
Yes.
For how long?
I don't know, one or two
months, maybe more.
Fine, I'll go pack then.
Don't pack many things,
we'll buy whatever we need
wherever we go.
I'm so excited.
Hurry up.
I want to leave
as soon as possible.
I won't be long.
What's up with you?
Don't you know how to say hi?
Why, the Alejandro I knew
didn't come back yet.
Come with me to the office.
Ma'am.
The boss went back to the ranch, but Mr.
Victor told me that he waited
for you and, given that you
didn't show up,
he got angry and left.
But I went there, Rosario.
Alejandro told me through Maria
that he didn't want to see me.
It probably was another lie
of hers.
Mr. Victor told me that
Mr. Alejandro waited for you.
He was sure you were going to
make peace.
Did Victor really tell
you that?
Yes.
I don't know.
Maybe Alejandro
changed his mind,
because from what Maria told me,
no one could have told
her that other than him.
She mentioned
the name of the man
Alejandro thinks
I cheated on him with.
Jose Luis Alvarez.
Yes.
Even I have heard that name,
ma'am.
I'm sure Maria heard it too
and she took advantage
of that to tell you lies.
You know her,
you know what she's capable of.
Where are you going?
Come with me.
Where to?
To the ranch.
No, Rosario.
Yes.
I'm not going there
to expose myself.
Are you going to stay here
with your arms folded?
Think about your son.
I'm not going to go to the
ranch, Rosario.
Stop insisting.
Why not?
First, because we don't know
if Maria lied or not.
Second, I don't want to
humiliate myself anymore.
I won't let Alejandro keep
hurting me that way.
Then call him on the phone.
He won't even let me talk,
he'll hang up the phone
as soon as he hears my voice.
What if you write him a love
letter in your own handwriting?
Think about it, ma'am.
That way he wouldn't be able
to interrupt you.
You'd be able to explain
everything to him
so Mr. Alejandro can
read it again and again,
as many times as he needs to,
until all his doubts
are cleared.
A letter?
Yes, ma'am.
Write it down.
There's enough money
in the safe.
However, I'll leave you some
signed checks,
just in case you have problems.
So, you don't know when you
are going to come back.
No.
But I'm calm, Macario.
I know the ranch will be okay
with you in charge.
[phone rings]
Why are you doing that?
Because I don't want to talk
to anybody.
You'll have to talk to me.
Leave us alone, Macario.
Yes, sure.
Take care of him, Father.
Sit down, please.
Tell me, what happened?
Did you see your wife?
Yes.
The day I handed over the
admiral's body.
Poor little girl.
I imagine the awful surprise
she got.
Anyway, tell me,
have you talked with her
about your child?
Have you finally settled things?
No.
Why, son?
I asked you to do that.
If I had evidence, Father--
You'll have it
when your child is born.
Meanwhile, you'll have to
settle for her word.
I don't trust her word,
I already told you that.
Montserrat has lied to me
since I met her.
She married me because of my
money, she tried to abandon me,
she hid her lover in my house.
How can I trust
a woman like that?
All of that
has an explanation.
Yes, explanations
she gave me,
but I don't believe them.
