Lo que la vida me robó (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 55 - Dimitrio es detenido - full transcript
♪♪♪
-I'll go to the park
for a walk.
You heard the doctor,
walking is very good for me.
-But you could walk here
around the house, in the garden,
instead of on the streets.
-And run into my mom
everywhere?
No. I think I'll go
to the park. It's close by.
-Okay. But I'll go with you.
There's no way
I'm letting you go alone.
-I won't be alone, but okay.
Let's all three go.
-[laughs]
-He's been very active today.
He's been kicking me
all morning.
-Really?
-Yes.
-Just look who's back.
Don Benjamin Almonte's
old mistress.
-Tell your master
that I'm here.
-Alejandro is not my master.
He's my man.
-I remember you quite well.
You were one of the many
maids [laughs]
That assisted me
when I came to visit.
-Well, I'm the
lady of the house, now.
And you're not welcome.
-No, no, no, no, no.
Don't get confused.
My girl, my daughter Montserrat,
is mistress of this house.
-Not since Alejandro
threw her out.
Now he wants me.
He's divorcing her to marry me.
-[laughs]
So you want to go from being a
maid to being a lady? [laughs]
Don't make me laugh.
I'll give you some advice.
You shouldn't get your hopes up,
because in my world
the Marias--
the maids like you--
never end up
marrying their bosses.
And I'm letting you know now
that my daughter will come back
to Alejandro, to her husband.
When that happens,
the first thing I'll do
is get rid of you.
-Not if I get rid
of your daughter first.
-Watch your threats, Maria.
Don't tempt the devil,
because you have no idea
who you're messing with.
-Neither do you, ma'am.
I'd rather cry
over Alejandro's grave
than see him
with Montserrat again.
-You'll be doing me a
huge favor,
because I prefer my daughter
be a widow and an heiress
than divorced.
-Mrs. Graciela.
What are you doing here?
-Just one moment. You'll see
it's all a matter of wanting it.
Sit down. You'll see.
You just sit for a moment
and look. Look at that one.
He's really handsome.
-Yes.
-And look at that one.
He's even more handsome.
-I'm not interested in them,
Angelica, really.
-Baby, you have to find
someone --
a boyfriend or something,
a dream.
I don't like seeing you like
this, so alone, so blue.
-I just don't want to,
Angelica.
-No. You have to forget about
that evil, Dimitrio, already.
The best thing
you could have done
was getting rid of that
guy, sis.
-I don't want to talk about
him, okay?
-I know it hurts,
but it's been a long time.
You have to get strong.
You have to get through this.
Not all men are like him,
and you could find someone
incredible,
as I did with Jose Luis.
-[laughs]
I'm glad you're so happy.
-Yes. Look!
Look how handsome that one is!
It's clear he likes you,
Virginia.
Come. I'll talk to him
and introduce you.
-No, really,
I don't want to, Angelica.
-Why don't you like him?
-Because--just because, sis.
I should go to the library.
I have to study
for my entrance exam.
-No, Virginia. Your entrance
exam is still far away.
-No, not so much.
-You should stay with me.
Why do you want to shut
yourself up in a library?
-Because I have to
study. Really.
-Then let's go get ice cream.
-No, sis. I'll see you later.
Take care.
-Virginia,
I love you very much.
-I do too.
-I see the ranch hasn't
changed much
since Don Benjamin died.
-Take a seat.
What do you want, ma'am?
-Don't think coming here is
easy for me, Alejandro.
I swore to myself
never to come back.
-My father's passing
affected you that much?
-What hurts me the most
is knowing that here
is where my husband died.
I want to assume that this
office caused his heart attack.
-No, ma'am.
It was in the living room.
-Oh, good.
-I still don't understand what
you're doing at my ranch.
-I don't know if you received
the mutual consent divorce
petition Montserrat filed.
-[opens drawer]
Here are the documents.
-Did you sign them?
-No, not yet.
-May I see them?
[clears throat]
Montserrat did this
behind my back.
I want you to know, Alejandro,
that if you ever divorce
my daughter,
it will be under
different terms.
At the least, it will cost you
half of everything you have.
-Is that all?
-That's all. [clears throat]
Oh, Alejandro?
I'll advise you to go to Agua
Azul over the next few days.
You shouldn't miss the birth
of your son.
I mean, I advise you to go.
So you can see if he is or not.
Then we can sit down and
negotiate. What do you say?
[laughs]
Good afternoon, Alejandro.
-[sighs]
-So...
I imagine you were listening
behind the door.
I'd advise you to start
preparing your man's suitcase,
because, guess what?
He won't take long to decide
he's going to Agua Azul
to be with his wife. [laughs]
See?
[steps]
-Tell me that woman
isn't right, Alejandro.
Promise me
you're not going to Agua Azul
looking for Montserrat.
-Excuse me, Maria, but I don't
need to promise you anything.
-I need all of our men
to be ready for the operation
we'll be conducting.
-Yes, everyone's been
informed.
-Good. But first, I need to
give very precise instructions,
so gather them
in the meeting room.
-Yes, sir.
[whistling]
-What's all the ruckus?
♪♪♪
-What's this?
-Get her out of here before she
gets us in bigger trouble.
-Let go of me!
-What are you doing?
-Let go of me! Don't touch me.
-Esmeralda,
how did you get here?
-I said don't touch me.
-Esmeralda!
You're embarrassing me.
How dare you do this to me?
-Is that what
worries you the most?
That I embarrass you?
Perfect. Because I love that
everyone can see me dance
and that they see me naked--
-Esmeralda, what are you
doing? Esmeralda!
-Let go of me! Let go of me!
Let go of me!
-Are you crazy?
-Put me down, Refugio!
Put me down!
-Line up!
Right now, all of you
will go back to your duties,
or I'll have to penalize you!
Is that clear?
-Yes, sir!
[turns the music off]
-Go wait for me, Porfirio.
-I hope you came here
to speak well of your daughter.
-Believe it or not, I'm the
most interested party in their
reconciliation.
But that may never happen now.
-You're being overly familiar.
-[laughs]
-Has the baby been born yet?
-No.
But my daughter is about to give
birth any moment now.
-You know, Graciela,
I'd really like being the priest
to baptize Alejandro
and Montserrat's son.
-It pains me to tell you no.
I'll say it again,
I don't want you near my family,
don't you get it?
-If you're afraid
I'll open my mouth
to talk about your dark past,
don't worry, Graciela.
I kept quiet for a long time,
for your children.
But there are certain things
that your children
must never know.
-You're right.
Let's go, Porfirio.
-Really, tell me.
-Oh. It's so nice.
-Yeah.
-Angelica.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-I didn't know
you were in Agua Azul.
-You're so pretty.
-[laughing] Thank you.
-Yes. My husband and I moved
here. We rented a house.
-Yes. I heard you married
Jose Luis.
Congratulations.
-Thank you. Congratulations to
you, too, on the belly.
That's so nice.
-Thank you.
-You look very pretty.
-Thank you.

[door closes]
-How could you go to the Navy
to make me the laughingstock
of all my colleagues!
Don't you see you could get me
in trouble?
And not only me, Jose Luis too.
Esmeralda, I said you could
dance whenever you wanted,
but at my job?
I don't get it. I don't get it!
-That makes two of us
that don't get it.
I know it was your fault
I got fired from La Escondida.
You talked to the chief of
police to have the owner
threatened and me fired.
Why did you do it, Refugio? Why?
It's not fair. You promised me
that you would never betray me.
And what you just did
is--God,
it's the worst
anyone's ever done to me!
I'm used to people not doing
right by me. But you?
I never expected it from you.
-Esmeralda, I--
-No. No, no, no. Shut up.
Shut up.
You ruined what we had.
I knew this was going to happen,
that we would
end. Because you never really
accepted me as I am.
And you just proved it.
I accepted you as a fugitive,
I accepted you despite your
killing a man when you
were running away.
And I did that
because I love you.
-Esmeralda, I love you too!
-No, no, no. Shh, no.
That's not true.
You don't love me.
I want you to leave my house.
I want you out of my life
to never come back.
I want you
to leave my house now.
-Esmeralda, don't ask me that.
-No. I don't want to see you
again, Refugio.
[sobs] Find yourself a woman
that--that won't embarrass you.
Someone worthy of being
with Mr. Navy man.
And leave me alone!
You know what?
You have the whole afternoon
to gather all your things.
When I come back, I don't want
to see you here.
And you better do that,
because I can ask
the chief of police favors too
so they can come
and throw you out by force.
And I have much better weapons
than you.
You know that, right?
To get things done.
-Jose Luis is the nicest man
in the world, Montserrat.
I know that when I ran away with
him everyone thought the worst.
But it was my fault. I made him.
Really. It was a lot of work
getting him to be with me.
-Well, I'm glad you two got
married, Angelica.
-Really?
-Yes. I have no reason
to lie to you.
I knew you'd fallen in love
with him.
And with all my heart I hope
Jose Luis
has learned to love you too.
-Yes, he loves me very much.
-And your parents, Angelica?
What did they say?
-Well, my mom is living here,
and she's happy.
She's very happy to see me
well and happy.
But my father hasn't forgiven me
for marrying a man
like Jose Luis.
-Yes, I can imagine.
I guess he wasn't happy to know
Alvarez and Antonio Olivares
were the same person.
-Yes. There's some of that,
Doña Carlota.
-Where's your dad now?
At the ranch?
-No. He called my sister
and told her
he had to go to
Monterrey urgently.
I haven't talked to him
since I married Jose Luis.
And he doesn't talk to my mom
either. Actually, they split up.
-[gasps] Really?
-Yes. My mom
is very angry at him
because he won't be part of
our lives.
-I'm very sorry, Angelica.
-Me too.
But I'm very happy to see you.
And your belly is so cute.
-[laughs]
-Congratulations, Montserrat.
-Thanks.
-You're almost due, right?
-Almost. [laughs]
-Your husband
must be so happy.
-Yeah.
-Is he here with you?
-[coughs]
-No, he--he's got things
to do at the ranch.
-Okay, I have to get going,
because if I'm late,
Jose Luis worries.
-It was nice seeing you,
Angelica.
And knowing you two are okay.
-Yes, I liked seeing you too,
and knowing you'll be a mom.
And that Alejandro
and you are so happy.
I don't have friends
here in Agua Azul.
I want to see you again.
-Yes, of course! Actually,
we'd already talked about it.
[gasps] Tonight! I have an
event. Want to come with me?
-Yes.
-Perfect.
I'll see you at my
place at eight tonight.
-Good. I'll be there.
Doña Carlota,
it was nice seeing you.
-Likewise. Take care.
-Bye.
-I'll see you at eight.
-Okay. Thanks.
-Thank you.
[sighs]
-What are you thinking, child?
-I'm worried Joaquin Arechiga
will tell Alejandro
that Jose Luis
is here in Agua Azul.
I don't know
what could happen, Aunt.
-What irony!
While you're here, suffering through your
husband's stubbornness,
Jose Luis is having a
great life.
He married a wealthy woman
and Captain Robledo
himself forgave him.
Now he's back in the Navy
as a lieutenant.
-Yes, Aunt. Yes, yes.
-Didn't he say he loved you?
Wasn't he crazy about you?
Do you think it's fair that
because of that
self-serving liar,
you were about to abandon
your husband?
Because Alejandro honestly
loved you, but the other one--
-I don't want to talk about
Alejandro anymore, please.
-Okay, at last I'm reassured
knowing your decision
to ask for a divorce has nothing
to do with Jose Luis Alvarez.
And now that you know
that man is married,
I hope you won't
lose your dignity.
And don't you
even think of going near him.
-[gasps]
It's as if you didn't know me,
Aunt. What kind of woman
do you think I am?
-A very good one,
that always loses her head
for that man.
-If I had wanted,
I could have kept Jose Luis
from marrying Angelica.
But I didn't.
-What are you talking about?
-Just before he got married,
Jose Luis came to me.
He asked me if Alejandro
and I were separated.
He was trying to gauge if he had
a chance with me again
-What did you say?
-I lied.
I told him all problems
between my husband and me
had been solved,
that Alejandro had forgiven me
and that we were
happier than ever.
After that meeting, Jose Luis
went to get married to Angelica.
And, you know?
Don't talk about him as if he
were a self-serving liar again,
because he's not, Aunt.
He married Angelica because her
doctors gave up hope on her
and Jose Luis
wants to make her happy
for the little time
she has left to live.
[door opens]
-[drops keys]
Mom.
-Hi.
-I'm glad you're here, Mom.
-I brought you all sort of
things. I filled your pantry.
-Thanks, Mom.
-Guess what?
-What?
-I tried to cook something
resembling soup.
[laughter]
-Nice, Mom!
Look, Jose Luis
won't get here until dark,
but you can stay for dinner
with me, right?
-Sure. I'll stay with you
as long as you want.
-Thanks, Mom.
-Where's your sister?
Wasn't she with you?
-My sister went to lock
herself in the library again.
-Again?
-Yes, Virginia is overreacting.
Especially because
her college entrance exam
is not for another year.
-No, that child worries me.
She can't accept that your dad
and I separated.
Besides, she doesn't tell me.
But I know her. And I know she's very
concerned about your health.
-Yes.
I can tell too.
Virginia can't--can't see
that I'm going to die.
-[gasps]
[laughs]
-Hi.
-Hi.
-How are you?
-Fine, you?
-Fine.
Did you get me what I asked?
-Yes.
-Where did you get it?
-Easy.
Since my parents are separated,
and my dad
wants to be nice to me,
he opened an account for me.
And, well, my mom doesn't pay
much attention to me because
she's taking care of Angelica.
-Is that why you called me now
you're in Agua Azul?
Because you're alone?
-You make me
forget everything.
-I have my own problems,
with that hag waiting for me
every night.
-She said a year,
and it's been several months.
-I'm counting every second.
Every minute is a burden.
You also help me
forget everything.

-Hi, Finita.
Is Dimitrio here?
-No. I thought he was with
you, Adolfito.
-I haven't seen him all day.
Hey, how are you?
-Not that good, Adolfito.
-It's not what you
expected, right?
-No.
I was sure Dimitrio
would fall in love with me.
Imagine.
Me, making him change.
But I was wrong.
-Come here.
Men like Dimitrio don't
change, Finita.
-Well, neither do men
like you, Adolfito.
You're no angel either.
-No, no, Finita. I changed.
I swear it.
Actually, I'll tell you
something. Look.
The day of your wedding,
Dimitrio almost didn't show up.
-What?
-He was late, right?
-Yes.
-That's because I found him
just in time,
before he escaped again,
and I managed to convince
him to marry you.
-[sighs]
Really?
Adolfito, you did that?
-You may not believe it,
but I am very sorry for all
the bad things we did to you.
I know how you felt, because
now I'm going through it.
-Why, Adolfito?
What happened to you?
-I fell head over heels in
love with a woman that--
that only toyed with me.
She used me and then she
kicked me out.
I can't forget her.
I swear that if I could go back
in time, Finita,
I wouldn't help Dimitrio
lie to you again.
-[sighs]
-He's an idiot, you know?
He doesn't want to see
what a great woman you are.
If I were in his place--
if I'd had the luck
of marrying you,
I'd do everything in my power
to make you happy.
-Oh, Adolfito.
Do you think Dimitrio
will ever love me?
-Oh, well--maybe I--
I can help you make him
react, Finita.
-How?
-I don't know.
You know what the problem is?
-What?
-Dimitrio is sure of you.
You should make him jealous.
-Oh, Adolfito.
Yeah, right.
No man ever looks at me.
Who could I make him
jealous with?
-With me.
-Father Anselmo is right.
Things are going to change here
as soon as Mrs. Montserrat's
baby is born.
-Idiot. Look what you did.
Pick it up. What are
you waiting for? Pick it up.
-Oh, Maria, Maria.
You well know your position
as lady of the house
won't last you long.
I know Alejandro
as much as you do,
and we both well know
that he'd never be able
to abandon his son.
I mean, he wouldn't do the same
thing Mr. Benjamin did to him.
Imagine.
Sooner or later, he'll react.

Where is my knife?
This woman makes me so confused
I don't know where I put things.
-Gorgeous!
-Honey!
I'm glad you're here.
-I hurried so you wouldn't be
alone too long.
-Thank you.
Look at this.
-How was your day?
-Fine.
-Yeah?
-Yes.
-Did you see your sister?
-Yes.
But she left me to go lock
herself in the library.
But I went to the park alone,
bought myself an ice cream,
walked for a bit.
-Angelica, I don't like you
walking around alone.
-Sorry.
But guess who I ran into?
-Who?
-Montserrat.
-Montserrat is here,
in Agua Azul?
-Yes. And she's pregnant.
She's about to deliver.
-Oh, it's nice that she's
pregnant, right?
-Yes. It's very exciting.
Look, I'm going out with her
tonight. Do you mind?
-And... Why isn't Alejandro
going out with her? What?
Isn't he here?
-No, she said he isn't.
She asked me to go with her
to the event because
she doesn't want to go alone.
She's living at her parent's.
You know? I have the feeling
that she's not happy.
-I don't like seeing you cry,
Esmeralda.
I promise you I'll talk to the
owner of La Escondida tomorrow
so he'll give you your job back.
-You'd really do that for me?
-Of course. Of course,
if it will make you smile.
-Thank you, Ezequiel. Thanks.
-I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry
for doing this to you.
I thought I was doing a favor
for your so-called cousin,
but I blew it.
Before doing anything, I should
have talked to you, my friend.
-I can't tell you
how much it hurts
that Refugio
could have done this.
I mean, why can't he accept me
as I am?
Why couldn't he settle
for all the love I feel for him?
Why does he have to set terms?
-Calm down.
Calm down.
That just proves how dumb he is.
I would never try to change you.
I like you the way you are.
I love you this way,
always dancing,
beautiful,
happy,
and sensual.
I like you, Esmeralda.
You've driven me crazy
for a while now.
And I really do love you.
But I think you knew
that already.
Didn't you?
Do you think I'll ever have
a chance with you?
-No, no, no, Ezequiel.
Don't ask me that now.
I'll need time to get better.
-Yes, don't worry.
I've waited so long for you,
I can wait longer.
I'll settle for you knowing
that you're not alone.
That you have me.
-Thank you.
-I'll always protect you.
-Girl, thank you for coming
with me to the concert
I'm having
at the cultural center.
You know Pedro said I'd participate
with a piano recital.
-Relax. You'll do fine,
as always.
Besides, I love a good cause.
Raising money for single
mothers--who knows?
Maybe I'll need that.
-Don't say that, Monse.
-Nadia, it's true.
I'm a single mother.
And my family is having money
troubles again.
Look, there's Angelica.
Don't tell her anything about
my situation with Alejandro.
She doesn't know.
-Don't worry.
-Hi!
Am I too late?
-No, no, you're on time.
-Oh, good.
-Then let's go.
The driver is waiting for us.
-Okay, let's go.
-Perfect.

You can move faster.

-Alejandro, what are you
doing in the dark?
-Where's Maria? I haven't seen
her all afternoon.
-Well, if you don't know,
why would I?
[grunts]
The Father came by
in the afternoon.
-What did he want?
-No, nothing, just to say hi.
He asked if we knew something
about Mrs. Montserrat.
Hey, do you think
the baby was born already?
-I don't know or care.
-You really don't care?
-No.
[glass on glass]
-Hey, wait.
Let's talk, man.
Don't be like that.
-What do you want
to talk about?
If it's Montserrat,
I don't care.
-Well, if you want to, we can
talk about something else --
about cows or sheep.
Do you really not care?
-I don't want to
talk about that, Macario.
It's still an open wound.
-You're still in love, right?
-I don't know.
I don't know, but--
I think about her all day long.
With anger,
with rage, in every way,
but she's always on my mind.
-Well, the Father says,
that it's not true
that she betrayed you.
-When did you talk to him
about that?
-Whenever I see him,
he talks about the same.
He says he knows
it's not true that the Mrs.
cheated on you with him.
And that you're going to hell
for everything you did to her,
for not accepting your boy.
Because the father swears
that the kid is yours.
Hey, Alejandro,
what if the father is right?
And the kid really is your son?
That would be very sad, right?
He'd be all alone.
And then, when you're
no longer married,
and the Mrs.
marries someone else,
imagine the poor kid saying
"dad" to someone who's not.
And go figure
how he'll treat him.
And then, that will be
sad, right?
-As mayor of Agua Azul,
I'm very proud to have with me
this loving woman
and especially--
especially so giving.
She's held my hand
through my worries
to support all social causes.
Beautiful people of Agua Azul--
my fine people of Agua Azul--
please give a rousing
applause--a warm applause
for Nadia Arguelles de Medina.

-You do know
that as I play the piano,
I'll be thinking of Victor,
right?
-Of course, honey.
-[Moonlight Sonata]
-Are you okay?
-Yes.
I think I just need some air.
I won't be long.
-Should I go with you?
-No, no, no, no.
There's no need, thanks.
Sorry. Excuse me.

-I can't do this, Adolfito.
I'm sorry, but I can't go in
there with you.
-Come on, Finita.
But--what happened?
-No, I feel--I don't know.
When people see us together
without my husband,
they'll start
gossiping about us.
-That's the idea!
-Oh...
-Of Dimitrio realizing you
don't need him.
You have every right to go out
and have fun with someone else.
-You're the devil.

-Really?
-Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Now.
Will you come to the hospital?
-Of course. Let's go.
-I'll get the car.
It's two blocks away.
-Yes, run, run.
-Run!
-Two blocks, run.
Adolfo, let your sister know.
-Yes. I'll tell her.
I'll tell her when the
presentation is over,
so we can go see you--
-When she finishes, yes.
Yes, I'll see you there.
Tell her I'll see her there.
-Why don't we call
an ambulance?
-No, there's no need! Victor
already went to get the car.
Victor, hurry up!
-Then we'll call Alejandro--
-No! Not Alejandro.
-What--
-Dear God, no, no, no.
Call my Aunt Carlota.
Tell her to take the bag.
And that I'll see her at--
-What's that one doing here?
-Who are you talking about?
Do something.
-Finita, take care of her,
please. I know what I'm saying.
I'll meet you there, please.
-God, it's terrible.
Aunt Carlota?

It's a knife, right? Give me.

Please help me.
-Have you gone crazy?
-Help me, please. It can't be
borne. Help me, please.
-What's wrong with you?
Scared Alejandro
will send you to hell
when his son is born, right?
-Alejandro is mine.
I don't want that woman
to take him from me.
-Get out! Get out of here!
-Adolfito, please--
-Did you hear me, Maria?
And when I hear you--
when you leave the ranch,
I don't want to hear from you,

-I'll go to the park
for a walk.
You heard the doctor,
walking is very good for me.
-But you could walk here
around the house, in the garden,
instead of on the streets.
-And run into my mom
everywhere?
No. I think I'll go
to the park. It's close by.
-Okay. But I'll go with you.
There's no way
I'm letting you go alone.
-I won't be alone, but okay.
Let's all three go.
-[laughs]
-He's been very active today.
He's been kicking me
all morning.
-Really?
-Yes.
-Just look who's back.
Don Benjamin Almonte's
old mistress.
-Tell your master
that I'm here.
-Alejandro is not my master.
He's my man.
-I remember you quite well.
You were one of the many
maids [laughs]
That assisted me
when I came to visit.
-Well, I'm the
lady of the house, now.
And you're not welcome.
-No, no, no, no, no.
Don't get confused.
My girl, my daughter Montserrat,
is mistress of this house.
-Not since Alejandro
threw her out.
Now he wants me.
He's divorcing her to marry me.
-[laughs]
So you want to go from being a
maid to being a lady? [laughs]
Don't make me laugh.
I'll give you some advice.
You shouldn't get your hopes up,
because in my world
the Marias--
the maids like you--
never end up
marrying their bosses.
And I'm letting you know now
that my daughter will come back
to Alejandro, to her husband.
When that happens,
the first thing I'll do
is get rid of you.
-Not if I get rid
of your daughter first.
-Watch your threats, Maria.
Don't tempt the devil,
because you have no idea
who you're messing with.
-Neither do you, ma'am.
I'd rather cry
over Alejandro's grave
than see him
with Montserrat again.
-You'll be doing me a
huge favor,
because I prefer my daughter
be a widow and an heiress
than divorced.
-Mrs. Graciela.
What are you doing here?
-Just one moment. You'll see
it's all a matter of wanting it.
Sit down. You'll see.
You just sit for a moment
and look. Look at that one.
He's really handsome.
-Yes.
-And look at that one.
He's even more handsome.
-I'm not interested in them,
Angelica, really.
-Baby, you have to find
someone --
a boyfriend or something,
a dream.
I don't like seeing you like
this, so alone, so blue.
-I just don't want to,
Angelica.
-No. You have to forget about
that evil, Dimitrio, already.
The best thing
you could have done
was getting rid of that
guy, sis.
-I don't want to talk about
him, okay?
-I know it hurts,
but it's been a long time.
You have to get strong.
You have to get through this.
Not all men are like him,
and you could find someone
incredible,
as I did with Jose Luis.
-[laughs]
I'm glad you're so happy.
-Yes. Look!
Look how handsome that one is!
It's clear he likes you,
Virginia.
Come. I'll talk to him
and introduce you.
-No, really,
I don't want to, Angelica.
-Why don't you like him?
-Because--just because, sis.
I should go to the library.
I have to study
for my entrance exam.
-No, Virginia. Your entrance
exam is still far away.
-No, not so much.
-You should stay with me.
Why do you want to shut
yourself up in a library?
-Because I have to
study. Really.
-Then let's go get ice cream.
-No, sis. I'll see you later.
Take care.
-Virginia,
I love you very much.
-I do too.
-I see the ranch hasn't
changed much
since Don Benjamin died.
-Take a seat.
What do you want, ma'am?
-Don't think coming here is
easy for me, Alejandro.
I swore to myself
never to come back.
-My father's passing
affected you that much?
-What hurts me the most
is knowing that here
is where my husband died.
I want to assume that this
office caused his heart attack.
-No, ma'am.
It was in the living room.
-Oh, good.
-I still don't understand what
you're doing at my ranch.
-I don't know if you received
the mutual consent divorce
petition Montserrat filed.
-[opens drawer]
Here are the documents.
-Did you sign them?
-No, not yet.
-May I see them?
[clears throat]
Montserrat did this
behind my back.
I want you to know, Alejandro,
that if you ever divorce
my daughter,
it will be under
different terms.
At the least, it will cost you
half of everything you have.
-Is that all?
-That's all. [clears throat]
Oh, Alejandro?
I'll advise you to go to Agua
Azul over the next few days.
You shouldn't miss the birth
of your son.
I mean, I advise you to go.
So you can see if he is or not.
Then we can sit down and
negotiate. What do you say?
[laughs]
Good afternoon, Alejandro.
-[sighs]
-So...
I imagine you were listening
behind the door.
I'd advise you to start
preparing your man's suitcase,
because, guess what?
He won't take long to decide
he's going to Agua Azul
to be with his wife. [laughs]
See?
[steps]
-Tell me that woman
isn't right, Alejandro.
Promise me
you're not going to Agua Azul
looking for Montserrat.
-Excuse me, Maria, but I don't
need to promise you anything.
-I need all of our men
to be ready for the operation
we'll be conducting.
-Yes, everyone's been
informed.
-Good. But first, I need to
give very precise instructions,
so gather them
in the meeting room.
-Yes, sir.

but at my job?
I don't get it. I don't get it!
-That makes two of us

I know it was your fault
I got fired from La Escondida.
You talked to the chief of
police to have the owner
threatened and me fired.
Why did you do it, Refugio? Why?
It's not fair. You promised me
that you would never betray me.
And what you just did

I'm used to people not doing

I never expected it from you.

I know that when I ran away with

But it was my fault. I made him.
Really. It was a lot of work
getting him to be with me.
-Well, I'm glad you two got
married, Angelica.
-Really?
-Yes. I have no reason
to lie to you.
I knew you'd fallen in love
with him.
And with all my heart I hope
Jose Luis
has learned to love you too.
-Yes, he loves me very much.
-And your parents, Angelica?
What did they say?
-Well, my mom is living here,
and she's happy.
She's very happy to see me
well and happy.
But my father hasn't forgiven me
for marrying a man
like Jose Luis.
-Yes, I can imagine.
I guess he wasn't happy to know
Alvarez and Antonio Olivares
were the same person.
-Yes. There's some of that,
Doña Carlota.
-Where's your dad now?
At the ranch?
-No. He called my sister
and told her
he had to go to
Monterrey urgently.
I haven't talked to him
since I married Jose Luis.
And he doesn't talk to my mom
either. Actually, they split up.

-What are you thinking, child?
-I'm worried Joaquin Arechiga
will tell Alejandro
that Jose Luis
is here in Agua Azul.
I don't know
what could happen, Aunt.
-What irony!
While you're here, suffering through your
husband's stubbornness,
Jose Luis is having a
great life.
He married a wealthy woman
and Captain Robledo
himself forgave him.
Now he's back in the Navy
as a lieutenant.
-Yes, Aunt. Yes, yes.
-Didn't he say he loved you?
Wasn't he crazy about you?
Do you think it's fair that
because of that
self-serving liar,
you were about to abandon
your husband?
Because Alejandro honestly
loved you, but the other one--
-I don't want to talk about
Alejandro anymore, please.
-Okay, at last I'm reassured
knowing your decision
to ask for a divorce has nothing
to do with Jose Luis Alvarez.
And now that you know
that man is married,
I hope you won't
lose your dignity.
And don't you
even think of going near him.
-[gasps]
It's as if you didn't know me,
Aunt. What kind of woman
do you think I am?
-A very good one,
that always loses her head
for that man.
-If I had wanted,
I could have kept Jose Luis
from marrying Angelica.
But I didn't.
-What are you talking about?
-Just before he got married,
Jose Luis came to me.
He asked me if Alejandro
and I were separated.
He was trying to gauge if he had
a chance with me again
-What did you say?
-I lied.
I told him all problems
between my husband and me
had been solved,
that Alejandro had forgiven me
and that we were
happier than ever.
After that meeting, Jose Luis
went to get married to Angelica.
And, you know?
Don't talk about him as if he
were a self-serving liar again,
because he's not, Aunt.
He married Angelica because her
doctors gave up hope on her
and Jose Luis
wants to make her happy
for the little time
she has left to live.

He'd be all alone.
And then, when you're
no longer married,
and the Mrs.
marries someone else,
imagine the poor kid saying
"dad" to someone who's not.
And go figure
how he'll treat him.
And then, that will be
sad, right?
-As mayor of Agua Azul,
I'm very proud to have with me
this loving woman
and especially--
especially so giving.
She's held my hand
through my worries
to support all social causes.
Beautiful people of Agua Azul--
my fine people of Agua Azul--
please give a rousing
applause--a warm applause
for Nadia Arguelles de Medina.
[applause]
-You do know
that as I play the piano,
I'll be thinking of Victor,
right?
-Of course, honey.
-[Moonlight Sonata]
-Are you okay?
-Yes.
I think I just need some air.
I won't be long.
-Should I go with you?
-No, no, no, no.
There's no need, thanks.
Sorry. Excuse me.

-You won't bear

[screams]
-Dear God!
-Are you okay?
-No, no, no, I'm not okay,
Victor, God, help me.
-Yes, yes, yes, what do I do?
-Help me. The hospital.
An ambulance. Now!
-Right. Hold on.
-Hurry, my water's going to
break! Oh my God!
[screams]
-See, Finita? With your short
steps, now we're late.
My sister must be
playing already.
-I can't do this, Adolfito.
I'm sorry, but I can't go in
there with you.
-Come on, Finita.
But--what happened?
-No, I feel--I don't know.
When people see us together
without my husband,
they'll start
gossiping about us.
-That's the idea!
-Oh...
-Of Dimitrio realizing you
don't need him.
You have every right to go out
and have fun with someone else.
-You're the devil.
-Slow, slow.
-Breathe, breathe.
-Sister.
-He's here now.
-Really?
-Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Now.
Will you come to the hospital?
-Of course. Let's go.
-I'll get the car.
It's two blocks away.
-Yes, run, run.
-Run!
-Two blocks, run.
Adolfo, let your sister know.
-Yes. I'll tell her.
I'll tell her when the
presentation is over,
so we can go see you--
-When she finishes, yes.
Yes, I'll see you there.
Tell her I'll see her there.
-Why don't we call
an ambulance?
-No, there's no need! Victor
already went to get the car.
Victor, hurry up!
-Then we'll call Alejandro--
-No! Not Alejandro.
-What--
-Dear God, no, no, no.
Call my Aunt Carlota.
Tell her to take the bag.
And that I'll see her at--
-What's that one doing here?
-Who are you talking about?
Do something.
-Finita, take care of her,
please. I know what I'm saying.
I'll meet you there, please.
-God, it's terrible.
Aunt Carlota?
-Aunt!
-You tell her.
-Hey.
Why are you hiding, Maria?
What are you doing?
What do you have there?
It's a knife, right? Give me.
[grunts]
-That baby can't be born.
Please help me.
-Have you gone crazy?
-Help me, please. It can't be
borne. Help me, please.
-What's wrong with you?
Scared Alejandro
will send you to hell
when his son is born, right?
-Alejandro is mine.
I don't want that woman
to take him from me.
-Get out! Get out of here!
-Adolfito, please--
-Did you hear me, Maria?
And when I hear you--
when you leave the ranch,
I don't want to hear from you,
you hear me? Go. Go.
-Let go of me.
-I want you gone. Now go.
-Let go of me.
-Get out!
[applause]
-Bravo!
-Bravo!
-Honey, you were excellent.
Smile, idiot.
Everyone is watching us.
-Very good.
Montserrat is going to
the hospital.
She's about to have her baby.
-Montserrat?
-Uh, hurry, hurry!
[engine accelerates]
-I hope he's stillborn.
