FORBIDDEN WOMAN

-[Kitty] Any news on Víctor?
-I don't know anything yet.

Well, I'm sure he's fine.

You know how doctors act
around celebrities.

They haven't even made
an official statement on social media.

That's why I'm on my way.

How are you? How did you get there?

Fine. Everything's fine here.

Update me on anything about Víctor.

And think about what I said.

-About what?
-[Kitty] About your marriage, Karen.

Do you want to fix things
because you're in love with Alexander?

If you were,
you wouldn't have rushed out to see him.

Or you wouldn't be
so worried about Víctor.

I'll call you later.

Okay. I'll keep you updated.

You promised to take care of him.

I tried.

It doesn't show.

What's Daniel doing at your dad's ranch?

[suspenseful music]

-Karen Arbeláez.
-Karen Arbeláez.

Karen Arbeláez,
are you here for Víctor Rodríguez?

Uh…

Yes.

We're here for him.

Hello.

I came as soon as I…

I heard your message.

I'm glad to see you here.

We're very sorry about what happened,

but politics is charity.

We hope Víctor recovers very soon.

Do you know his condition?

We know exactly what you do.

As soon as we have news,
I'll let you know.

-That's very kind.
-Thank you very much.

[Karen] Excuse me.

Leave me alone.

I won't allow gossip
or rumors to come back.

Look, either you leave me alone
or I'll scream from the rooftops

everything you're doing to me.

Officer, I already told you.
This guy was very drunk.

Tried to sexually as*ault Betty,
and I defended her.

The victim, Mr. Chaparro, is unconscious,

and has a severe concussion

due to the blow you inflicted to him.

That blow to the head came from the fall.

You need to come down
to the station with us.

Oh, no. Officer, I'm sorry,

but I don't think
you understand what he's saying.

He didn't have a g*n,
he had no way to defend himself.

What he did was defend Betty,
the girl who was with him…

-[agent] I understand.
-…from the man who was drunk…

-[agent] I understand.
-…and shot them.

Until we confirm
Mr. Rodríguez's information

and until we have
clarity on Mr. Chaparro's condition,

we have to detain him.

-He's just doing his job.
-How can I let you take him?

Stay with Jair.

-Do you have to do that?
-Mrs. Amalia.

-He's not a criminal.
-Please.

Amalia.

Can you give me a minute, please?

[Jair] Yes.

What happened?

Are you okay?

What are you doing here?

I needed to know you were okay.

Leave me alone.

I'm ready.

[Amalia] No. [sobbing]

[Amalia] Where's he going?

-[agent] It's close.
-[Amalia] Where is that?

Víctor, what is
Beatriz Bermúdez's condition?

Give us your version of what happened.

Víctor, don't worry,

we'll get the best lawyer, okay?

The best one. Everything will be fine.

Please help me make sure
Betty has everything she needs.

-And her attacker, too.
-Everything will be fine.

We'll come out of this,
so stay strong, okay?

We'll make it out. We'll make it out fine.

[sad music playing]

[Alexander] Let's go.

You gave enough to gossip about.

And start making up what you'll say
to the press, okay, honey?

Shut up.

Shut up and leave me alone.

I'll go ahead and talk to the media.

[sad music playing]

[reporter] Things for Víctor Rodríguez

don't look good at all, apparently.

The details are still scant,

but it seems like the folk music singer

was involved in a fight in which
the singer Beatriz Bermudez

and the merchant
Hugo Chaparro were injured.

According to our sources, the culprit
of the brawl was Víctor Rodríguez,

who apparently was intoxicated,

and he will have
to answer for what happened.

We continue with more information
on this sunny day in Colombia.

Who tipped off Daniel
about the attack beforehand?

We don't know.

Maybe one of the bandits
who was going to attack him

got cold feet, got scared, and called.

And why did he go to your dad's ranch?

It was the safest place.

Safer than Bogotá?

Why didn't you guys go there?
Why didn't you go to the police?

It was the first thing
that came to mind, Kitty.

Taking Daniel to the place
he hates the most.

Kitty, I'm telling you what happened.
I can't change the things that happened.

What are you going to do?

Talk to Daniel, see if he has the guts
to tell me what happened.

Listen, why don't we go to the hotel,

I'll get you a room and find people
who can look after you

so we can all be at ease?

Is that Daniel's idea?

Then, what's the problem
if I go talk to him?

That things aren't good there, Kitty.

-What are you doing?
-Calling a cab to go talk to him.

If you go there, things will get worse.

-I don't care. I'm calling a cab.
-Kitty, come on. It's okay.

-I'll take you.
-[cell phone ringing]

Hey, how did it go?

-We're on our way.
-That's why I said I should've done it.

Our motto is to serve. See you soon.

Mr. Alexander Orduz,
thank you for seeing us.

What do you think
about your most direct political rival,

candidate Sonia Ramírez,

in recent days,
gaining so much popularity?

That has a very clear explanation:

my absence from the media
due to personal issues, but I'm back.

You mean your constituents
are punishing you for your absence?

Yes, I get it. But I'd rather respond
for flaws in my government plan.

What can you tell us

about your visit to the folk music

singer, Víctor Rodríguez?

Is this a strategy

to regain popularity?

No, no. Of course not.

Víctor, besides being a great collaborator

in Karen's foundation,

is a dear friend of the family.

[reporter] Any thoughts about his arrest?

We'll leave it in the hands of the law
and the justice system.

And once the charges are filed,

we'll see.

[reporter] Early reports indicate

that Mr. Víctor
was directly responsible for the attack.

That's not the Víctor I know.

What if it was, sir?

I have to admit

it's going to be an ordeal.

But this way I'm going to prove

that what I've promoted in my campaign
is not just talk.

And if Víctor deserves to go to jail,

there will be jail time.

And I'm not about to be lenient

with friends

or family.

If anyone breaks the law,

they'll have to pay.

But right now,

we're going to focus

on sending the best energy to Víctor.

Best wishes to his relatives,
friends, and followers.

Alexander's cynicism knows no bounds.

ALEXANDER ORDUZ
FOR PRESIDENT

This time you succeeded, Alexander.

But you have to admit that your wife,

at the slightest chance
of Víctor facing any consequences,

behaves irrationally.

You can't even control her.

It's okay.

It's okay because you managed
to spin it in your favor,

but if you can't,
your wife is a ticking time b*mb.

She acts irrationally.

She's capable of going over your head
if anything happens to Víctor.

-I control my wife.
-Then do it.

Before this scandal splashes on our faces.

No scandal will land on us.

Yet it will on Víctor.
And it will be the perfect excuse

to prove that I make good
on what I say in my campaign.

[Jimmy] Alexander.

Jimmy.

-I have an assignment for you.
-Yes?

Víctor Rodríguez.

Do you have any suspicions
that he's still seeing your wife?

None.

I need you to destroy him.

I need you to ruin his reputation.

[suspenseful music]

I'll walk you out. This way.

-What do you think?
-They seemed very excited.

-I agree.
-Yes.

We really needed that help.

Finally, some good news
in the midst of all this chaos.

Any news on Víctor?

He's still in custody.

I thought it was very impulsive of you
to go to the clinic to see him.

I had to. And I'd do it again.

If only Víctor knew
all the sacrifices you make for him.

I hope when I get Alexander
out of the way, I can explain.

Listen to me. Stay away.

I won't leave him alone. I can't.

And I need your help.

No, no, no.

No. That's an accusation

made by the sidekick
of the guy who attacked Víctor and Betty,

but it's important the media reports
that Víctor Rodríguez wasn't armed.

He didn't have a g*n.

He did have a few drinks,

but that doesn't make him
a criminal, does it?

I don't know.

I don't know. I wasn't there.

You'd have to ask him.

And if… there are no more questions,
I'd appreciate it if we can wrap it up.

Thank you very much. Thanks.

What?

-[phone rings]
-Oh, no.

It's the owner of the club.

Do you want me to answer?

No, kid. I have to face him.

He's not calling to say hi, is he?

-Maybe he wants to cancel shows?
-Of course.

That's why I haven't called him.
We've already had two cancellations.

Mrs. Amalia, if this keeps up,
it will get serious.

Yes, we've been falling behind
for a while, and now "serious."

[grumbles]

Uh…

Can you do me a favor?

Inquire about Betty.
Let's see if these girls say anything.

-Yes, yes. Yes, ma'am.
-Hello?

Amalia, it's Karen.

Karen, how are you?

How is Betty?

We don't know anything yet.

Did Víctor get in touch with you?

No, he didn't.

Do you know where they took him?

No, I have no idea.

I haven't heard from Betty or Víctor
right now.

If you don't need me for anything else,
I'm trying to solve some problems.

Amalia,

Víctor needs a good lawyer.

I know. I talked
to the production company's lawyer.

No, he needs the best.

And that's my brother, Esteban.

I really appreciate the offer,
but no, thank you.

Listen, the producer company's lawyer
is a corporate lawyer.

Esteban, on the other hand,
is a criminal lawyer. What Víctor needs.

Karen, I really appreciate it,
but we don't need him. Thank you.

Amalia, this is no time
to be proud or resentful.

We're talking about Víctor and his future.

Look, if I wasn't sure

that Esteban is the best lawyer
to represent him, I wouldn't have called.

Please, Amalia.

Víctor supported the foundation
at its worst.

He helped me when I needed it the most.

Please, let me help him.

No, the thing is that every time
you help, things get worse, Karen.

I know I really hurt you,
and I'll never forgive myself.

I hope one day I can explain it to you.

This would be a good day to start, right?

Look, I swear on Sergio,

who is the most important thing
in my life,

I just want to get Víctor
out of this mess.

Fine, thank you very much.

I owe you one.

I know where they're holding Víctor,
and I'm going there.

Esteban, you have to convince him
to let you represent him.

Tell him Amalia knows and that she agrees.

Done.

Alexander is going to use this moment

to show how serious he is
about his campaign.

And we can't let him use Víctor
as his banner to show off.

It's too much pressure on me.

What will Alexander say
when he finds out about this?

That it was Esteban who offered
to represent him

because he's very grateful

for all the help he's given
the foundation,

and Karen had no reason to say no.

Hold on.

Alexander doesn't know that you know
what he's doing to me.

Convincing you not to represent Víctor

would involve a series of explanations

that I'm in no condition to give.

Okay.

-Ready?
-I'm leaving. Bye.

They just talked about Betty on the news.

What did they say?

-Are you Beatriz Bermudez's family?
-Yes.

-How are they?
-Fine. What happened?

The projectile hit her spinal cord
and compromised it.

The extent of the damage is still unclear,
but it's not the best prognosis.

[scoffs]

That means there's a 60% chance

the patient will never be able
to walk again.

[medical device beeps]

Amalia.

[Amalia!] My girl.

Why is this happening to me?

Don't say that.

-It's fine.
-I'm scared.

-Nothing's going to happen, don't cry.
-I don't want to die.

Don't say that, my girl.
Don't cry, it's bad for you.

-Everything will be fine.
-I'm scared.

[Amalia] Calm down, you'll be fine.

Everything will be fine.

Calm down.

[reporter] A bleak panorama
for Víctor Rodríguez

after the unfortunate news

about Beatriz Bermudez,

a member of his band

and ex-partner of the artist

who, according to doctors,
may never walk again.

Meanwhile, Mr. Hugo Chaparro
is still unconscious

and his diagnosis is still undisclosed.

THE ANDES
DISTRICT PRISON

-[melancholic music]
-[inmates whistling]

[reporter] Víctor is under arrest,

accused of being
the initiator of the fight

while under the influence.

Despite having openly confessed
his problems with alcohol

and claiming they were
a thing of the past,

Víctor proves his addiction
is far from overcome.

Is this the beginning of the end
of his artistic career?

Kitty, listen to me.

You go into that house
and all you'll find is trouble.

Daniel is in there, and there's no way
I'm leaving him alone again.

[suspenseful music]

Is Kitty here?

[Iván] I had no choice but to bring her.

Did you tell her anything?

-Anything about what?
-About what my dad did.

If you didn't do it, I'm sure Daniel will.

-You think?
-Of course.

As long as it's to have everyone
find out he was right, he'll do it.

And you know what? I totally understand.

What is it?

Is everything okay?

Where's Daniel?

Still in his room?

-He's there.
-With Kitty.

I can't believe it.

Your dad?

Why are you so surprised, Kitty,
after I told you he did it?

Yes, but hearing the confirmation
doesn't make sense.

He wanted to scare us away,
but things got out of control.

Is that his apology?

Then what are you doing here,
after what Fernán did to you?

All I know is that things
won't stay like this.

Are you going to report him?

-Daniel, are you going to report him?
-I don't know, Kitty. I don't know.

Hard to establish which
is the lesser evil.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

[dramatic music]

Do you need anything?

Yes, a headache pill.

[Doris] Thank you.

-And is the marriage still on?
-Of course.

You didn't even hesitate
a little after you realized

what my dad did to my brother?

My grandfather
had a nasty but wise saying:

"If you want the dog, you want the fleas."

-Wow.
-[Gisela laughs]

That means you're a person

who sets no limits
and has no limits in life, right?

-No, to a certain extent.
-Hmm.

And this not that bad for you?

Daniel is fine.

And your dad is very sorry. That counts.

-For whom?
-For me.

It's hard to admit wrongdoing.

Right.

Right, and by owning up to it
and saying "the truth,"

-he set everything right, huh?
-[Gisela] He could've denied it.

You know what?
Your decision to marry my dad

only corroborates
everything I think about you.

If I wanted to marry your dad
for the money,

I wouldn't give a damn
what happens to you guys.

What's more, it'd better for me
if they keep at each other's necks.

I love Fernán and I want him to be okay.

And right now, he's not having a good
time. Neither him, you, Iván, nor me.

No one.

Whose fault is it?

Oh,

there's plenty of blame
to go around, Doris.

Family is sacred, isn't it?

And it's the only thing you have in life.

If you want to rebuild yours, you'll have
to start by forgiving and forgetting.

The thing is, I don't know
if I'm willing to do one or the other.

That's too bad.

Because if there's anyone
who can end this w*r, that's us.

-Us?
-Yes.

Even if it's hard for you to accept.
We're both on the same side.

And we both want peace in this home.

What's this?

The money I want to give you
for the ranch.

It's much more than it's worth.

Are you trying to buy my silence, sir?

Can I buy your silence?

Then why do you do it?

Because that's how I fix problems.

With money.

Beating one's breast doesn't pay
interests. You're getting married.

I'm getting married.
You're going to Mexico.

We have to go on with our lives.

We have to solve this somehow.

Well, then let's go to the police.

That may be an option.

You haven't done it.
There must be a reason.

Yes, of course.

Because I think jail's too little
of a punishment for you. That's why.

I already told you.

Do what you have to do.

But let's fix this.

This is my proposal.

Think about it.

And let me know.

Excuse me.

[suspenseful music]

[Gisela] How did it go?

We'll see.

But how did he look?

I have no idea.

-Kitty can be very influential.
-But in a bad way, I think.

She's not fond of me.

Have faith in her. I know she'll help.

Why are you so sure?

No woman wants to have her man

engaged in an eternal feud with his dad.
Much less before they get married.

But don't worry.

Don't worry, Víctor, you're the idol.

You really screwed up, didn't you?

No, I didn't.

But you knocked that jerk around
to defend your friend.

The judge has to understand that.

I'm really worried about Betty.

It sucks for your friend.

But it's not your fault.

No, it is my fault.

I allowed him to provoke me.

I would have done the same.

And the damn booze, man.

I wouldn't have been drunk,
and it would have been a different story.

Anyway, when it comes to Betty,

I'll defend her
as many times as necessary.

You did what you had to do.

What good did it do me?

Tell me. Tell me what good did it do me.

I don't know how long
I'll be in this jail,

I don't know if that guy will live or die.

And I don't know
if Betty will be able to walk again.

If you put it that way, it was useless.

-How will I live with this?
-Nah.

Don't beat yourself up.

Oh, my God.

[guard] Víctor, you have a visitor.

You have 15 minutes.

-What's up, Víctor?
-What's up, Esteban?

What are you doing here?

Sit down.

Look, Víctor, you need a lawyer.

A good lawyer.

I'm here because I want to help you.

Esteban must be talking to Víctor
right now.

I hope he accepts, Lidia.

There's no way he won't.

I don't know what else to do for him.

-You're doing what you have to do.
-But I want to do more.

More? Karen, he has the best lawyer,
thanks to you.

He was arrested thanks to me.

If I hadn't broken his heart,
he wouldn't have started drinking again,

he never would have run into that guy,

or hit him, and Betty wouldn't be hurt.

Karen, I won't allow this.

Lidia, it's the truth.

Karen, he has an addiction
that he hasn't been able to handle.

He's the only one to blame for all this.

-But I was the one who told him…
-No, you don't.

Own your own mistakes, and don't
blame yourself for what others do.

That was the first thing you taught me
when I joined this foundation.

Now,

what you need to worry about
is talking to Alexander

and telling him
that Esteban will represent Víctor.

First, let's hope he accepts.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand

why your sister can't leave me alone.

Karen and everyone else
are worried about you.

Karen, worried about me? Please.

I thought I was a nobody, a mediocre
singer who she couldn't afford to be with.

What do you want?

You're very important to my sister.

Man, you have no idea

what she told me.

Forget what she told you, Víctor.

Look,

there are many things
I can't tell you right now.

What I do want you to know is

Karen ended the relationship with you

-because she had no other choice.
-What are you talking about?

Her breaking up with you

has nothing to do
with her feelings for you.

I don't understand.

-I can't say more right now.
-Don't leave me like this, Esteban.

Tell me what's going on.

Víctor, we have two options:

we can either keep arguing about this,

or we can use this time and get to work

to see how I can get you out of here.

You decide.

Look, I appreciate

your interest and your help, but…

no, thanks. I don't want
problems with your family.

Víctor, you already have problems.
And very serious problems.

What Alexander will do
is take advantage of his lapse

and use his campaign motto

so people know he'll keep his word.

Look, Víctor,

Karen told me to come here.

But I didn't come for her.
I also came for you.

Why?

Because I think you're a good guy.
You just made a mistake.

A huge mistake.

Which you don't have to spend
the rest of your life in jail for.

We don't know that yet.

That's precisely why I'm telling you

that you need a lawyer right now.

Listen…

You can choose any lawyer
you want, it's your right,

but I want you to be sure that no lawyer

will fight for you as I will.

Why are you so interested?

Under different circumstances,
I would've been the number one fan

-of your relationship with my sister.
-Different how?

You've helped us a lot.

You helped the foundation,
and I'm very grateful for that.

This is a no-brainer.

Your case is a high-profile case,
and time is of the essence.

So you decide.

-How are you, gorgeous?
-What are you doing here?

-Visiting you.
-Leave.

-Why?
-Because I don't want to talk to you.

Why are you so upset
all of a sudden, Lidia?

I've nothing else to tell you.

I fell in love with someone else.

Who?

Estebitan?

-Esteban?
-Yes.

-No, no.
-No?

-You're always together, cheerful.
-Are you following me?

Of course not.

I came to visit you and I saw you
with him. You don't even answer now.

-I told you, I don't want to talk.
-Our relationship…

-It's in the past.
-Why? Tell me.

What is it?

You're working for Alexander
in getting Karen smeared in dirt.

What do you mean?

-You don't know what I mean?
-No, I don't.

You followed Víctor when Karen
left Alexander. Don't deny it.

-A misunderstanding.
-Misunderstanding?

And how did you know they were together?

Who told you? Did Alexander tell you?

-Don't know what you're talking about.
-Weren't you coming clean?

Then do it.

How long have you been using me?

Never.

Did you ever have true feelings for me?

Or did you just use me
to get information about Karen?

-Lidia, please.
-Please, nothing.

I could have forgiven you anything, Jimmy,

but not this.

Not disloyalty.

[sobbing]

NATIONWIDE UNITED FAMILY

Sonia's one point ahead of us.

It's not much,
but we can't let our guard down.

We must excite our base.

It's clear the country
has been taken over by bandits.

We need to reconnect with the voters,

especially now,
at this last stage of the campaign.

I'm open to ideas.

-I have to take this.
-Of course you do.

There are digital content creators,
young and innovative,

who want to interview Mr. Orduz.

Have you got news?

-And you won't like them.
-What happened?

Lidia knows I was following Karen
and Víctor on your orders.

How did she find out?

I guess she put two and two together.

But if Lidia knows…

Karen knows, too.

[Lidia] I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.

Don't worry.

I'm sure Jimmy already
went to Alexander with the gossip.

Most likely.

[Lidia] I'm worried this will affect
your relationship with him.

Oh, Lidia, I really don't care anymore.

I'm glad he realized
we found out who his spy is.

That way you'll get Jimmy
off your back for good.

Can you believe he was following me too?

Really?

He was already concocting a story
with me and Esteban.

[Karen] I can't believe it.

[cell phone beeps]

Esteban is calling me. I'll call you back.

Okay.

How did it go?

I'm officially Víctor Rodríguez's lawyer.

Oh, Esteban. Thank God.

Well, things could still get much more
complicated than they already are.

The charges will depend
on what happens to Hugo Chaparro.

That's why we have to pray

that he wakes up soon and that the blow
didn't have any consequences.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult
to get Víctor out of jail.

What do you think?

It's not bad at all.

With this, you could buy
two ranches like yours.

Yes, but the truth is, it's way less

than what he embezzled
from my mom's inheritance.

What about Kitty?

What does she think?

She thinks he's a jerk.

But still wants me to take the money,

to get married and move
to Mexico as soon as possible.

Even though he was responsible
for what happened?

All the more reason.

All the more reason for her
wanting me far away from him.

What about you?

What do you think, Daniel?

That I'd like to see things
as easy as Kitty does, Iván,

but I can't.

I can't.

Not until Fernán pays
for everything he did to my mom.

Well, it's that or Kitty.

You won't be able to have both.

-What if I tell her the truth?
-Mm-hmm.

Kitty is like Doris, you know that.

They can't stay still,
and that would give Fernán leverage.

Because then he would know
that you already know about Elvira.

As it stands, I see only two options:

-either you break up with Kitty…
-Oh, no.

That's not an option.

Then we have to think
what we're going to do

to get Kitty out of this ranch.

With her here, we can't
do anything against Fernán.

I really hope Daniel accepts
Fernán's offer.

And that we can go to Mexico for good.

Hmm.

What?

Do you think he won't?

Honestly,

I really doubt it.

Why?

Well, because after what my dad did,

Daniel won't sit idly by.

How can I convince him, Doris?

Kitty, you can't make him forget.

It's understandable how angry he is.

So, what do I do?

No, until they solve
the problem they have,

they're going to stay exactly the same.

But they haven't worked it out
in all these years.

Hmm.

Leaving isn't a solution either.

-Are you serious?
-[Doris] Yes, Kitty.

What was the point of Daniel leaving
the first time? No point in that.

It didn't fix anything, on the contrary.

Both my dad and him have been

putting off this situation, and what
they should do is face it head-on.

But how many times
have they faced it already?

No. They've confronted each other,
which is different.

But yelling and threatening won't do.

What they have to do is sit down,
talk, and face it.

You think that's possible?

Honestly,

I think the only person
who could help me is you.

Me?

Daniel adores you.

He'd do anything for you, I'm sure.

Even…

giving my Dad a second chance.

I'm sorry, Doris,
but I don't think he deserves it.

But what could be the other option?

To feed their mutual hate
until they actually k*ll each other?

Or for Daniel to be
obsessed with the same thought

that comes back to the same topic,
which is to get revenge on my dad?

Tell me something.

Do you really want to live with that ghost
haunting your marriage?

-No.
-[Doris] No.

You can't have it both ways,
as the saying goes.

Either they settle this once and for all,
or everything

goes to hell.

It's not possible for us to be living
as if we were in a minefield.

Jimmy, where are you?

I leave you in charge of the newspaper
and you don't show up?

Be professional and call me.

When the cat's away, the mice will play.

And it seems there's a mouse
I'm going to have to fire.

Where's Kitty?

The last time I saw her,
she was out with your sister,

walking in the garden.

Iván, wait.

Drink your lemonade.

Your brother's girlfriend can wait.

[Iván] Why are you talking to me
like that, María?

Because you've always been
your father's biggest advocate.

And now I see you're very interested
in Daniel getting justice.

[door closes]

Is that a question?

What I'm wondering is if your help
is as selfless as it seems.

What do you mean, María?

This has been the eternal story between
you two for as long as I can remember.

Whenever Daniel had a girlfriend,
you fell in love with her.

And if you had a girlfriend,
Daniel would take her from you.

Could it be that it's now happening again?

[music sting]

That's not something you should worry
about. Or make your business, Mary.

Unfortunately, thanks to you,
I'm up to my neck in it.

So you not only worry me,
you give me the right to have an opinion.

And if you're helping Daniel
get revenge on Fernán

just to keep Kitty for yourself,

know that it will have a terrible,
terrible outcome.

What Daniel does is of his own free will,

I'm not forcing him to do anything.

Thanks to your wise advice.

María, you know that fish die
by the mouth, right?

I suggest you keep yours shut.

All I ask is that you think carefully
about what you're doing.

And all I ask is

that you think about
the secret I've been keeping

and what would happen
if I went public with it.

How is Víctor?

Well, he's more worried
about what happened

to Betty and about hitting that guy
than about himself.

Can he be charged for Beatriz?

No, because he didn't sh**t
and the g*n wasn't his.

What could happen is…
A security camera video

surfaced, and it partially shows
what happened.

Do you have it?

Yes.

Well, that video
doesn't really help us our case.

The collective imaginary or whatever those
involved claim will fill in the rest.

But it's clear that Chaparro
threatened him with a g*n.

Yes, of course, but you can also see…

What's more, that video can be interpreted
as him taking out his g*n

to defend himself from Víctor's attack.

Esteban.

What I will say
is something very important:

if Chaparro was to die,

whatever Víctor says,
whatever Betty says, doesn't matter.

And all they're going to do is charge him
with manslaughter.
