FORBIDDEN WOMAN

There are three more cameras in the area,

but apparently, the only one working
is the one from the plaintiff's video.

Got any neighbors?

They said that those who heard the shots
called the police.

And the few who peeked in
to see what was going on,

already saw Chaparro's
and Beatriz's bodies lying on the ground.

Supposedly, they can't testify because…

supposedly, they didn't see anything.

"Supposedly"?

Some of the people I talked to
didn't seem completely convincing.

Bribed?

Or intimidated, maybe. I don't know.

Anyway, I'll keep investigating.

What did you find out about the guy
with Chaparro?

Neither of them have a criminal record.

I tried talking to his family,
neighbors, closest friends.

No one wants to say anything.

They're well-trained.

If you ask me,

there's a much bigger machinery
behind this than a mere lawyer.

[suspenseful music]

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Hello, Esteban?
This is Amalia Rodríguez. How are you?

How are you?

Bad, bad. Very bad.

I need to talk to you. It's urgent.

As soon as possible. Your office or mine?

Esteban, I know you warned us

about how tortuous this would be.

And Víctor told me again,

and believe me,
I'm very grateful for what you're doing.

But you're falling short
at defending my son. That's a fact.

Look, Amalia, I understand you're upset.

But this is just the first day.

It's the first day, and this Henao
guy ate, chewed, and spat Víctor out,

and you stayed silent.

What do we have to do, Esteban?
Should we get resources?

-Tell me what I have to do and I'll do it.
-Look.

Trials are won with arguments,
with evidence,

and above all,
with something very important:

Keeping a cool head.

Okay, a cool head.

Now tell me, what evidence
do we have of Víctor's innocence,

apart from him or Betty attesting to it?

Well, we don't have that evidence
right now, but…

we're looking for it.

Besides, with all this aggressive
pep talk from Henao,

keep in mind something very important:

he didn't make a case against his guilt.

Sure. Have you seen social media?

This place is full of people talking sh*t
about Víctor.

They're all lies.

Look, there's a guy here who says Víctor
hit him because he asked for a picture.

Please.

They saw Víctor smuggling drugs
at a concert, Esteban. No.

Why?

Víctor made a mistake and he's facing it.

Why are there people making up
all that crap?

Why are there such miserable people?

Amalia, let's do something:
give me a list of all these accounts.

-What for?
-Because we can investigate them.

Investigate why?

I'm sure these accounts are fake
that were just opened

solely to destroy Víctor.

Can you think of anyone
who might be making them up?

No, I don't have any clarity right now.

What I do know is
that behind Chaparro's defense,

there are more people than we think.

Behind Chaparro's defense
or behind Víctor's attack?

-I'm not sure.
-Yes, you are.

You know it.

You know it in your heart.

Look, Esteban.

Alexander is getting back at Víctor
for getting involved with Karen.

Alexander is behind all this, isn't he?

[suspenseful music]

-I have my suspicions.
-Yes. Yes!

And you know what? I think Karen
has her suspicions too.

That's why she asked you
to come and defend Víctor.

To clear her conscience.

I think what you're saying
is completely unfair to Karen.

And I hope

it doesn't take you long to realize

what my sister is really doing
for your son.

Yes.

Believe me, I hope so, too.

People liked the idea
of the Department of Women.

There are great comments on social media.

Who didn't like it a bit was your wife.

And from how she got off,
I'm sure she won't accept that position.

I don't care what she wants.
She'll have to do as I say.

We all know how Karen gets
when faced with a critical point.

She either rushes to the hospital
to see Víctor

or asks her brother to represent him.

A wise man once said,
"Women are unappreciative."

I gave her too much freedom.

You were right.

I know it's not on the table to talk
about a separation of you two.

I was the first one to object.

But… given the circumstances, maybe…

we should rethink that possibility.

Did you lose your mind?

Karen will never leave Víctor.

Married or separated,
they can't be together.

Not to mention a romantic relationship.

[suspenseful music]

What is it?

These are the phone transcripts
from Karen's last phone calls.

-Where did you get these?
-I tapped her phone.

Why didn't you tell me?

My job is to protect you
and take you to the presidency.

There are many things you don't have
to know, unless you must know them,

as in this case.

Did she talk to Víctor?

Not by phone call.

I don't know about chatting, because those
conversations are encrypted.

It's very hard to get that information.

But look.

In all the conversations
she has had with Esteban,

with Lidia, even with Kitty,

she always mentions Víctor.

Alexander, it's obvious
that your wife is interested in him.

You can forbid her to see Víctor,
to follow him,

but she won't listen to you.

She knows she can put me under pressure.

She knows she can't disclose the
information about all the money laundering

through her foundation.

But she knows that will affect you, too.

And she's certain that,
at the gates of the presidency,

you won't take that risk.

I think this was useful for a while, but…

it's not working anymore.

[music sting]

So?

Do you want me to separate,
like she asked?

It's just that… if Karen becomes
romantically involved with Víctor, well…

It'd confirm the rumors from a while ago.

Yes.

But…

it would reflect poorly on her,
not on you.

Like an as*h*le!

I'd look like a cuckold!

Like a martyr.

Victim of a calculating, sly,
promiscuous woman.

A woman who has sunk so low

that she made her husband
befriend her lover.

A woman

who is affecting her own reputation,
the principles of a foundation.

Destroying an image of a perfect,

empowered woman.

Whereas you, Alexander,

would have the affection,

the empathy,
the support of an entire country.

Because you would look like…

a victim, a victim of cruel infidelity.

But, well, what are we going to do
if Alexander is the guy

behind all this?

What do we do?

Amalia, what do you expect me to do?

-Do you want me to complain to him?
-Yes.

-Yeah.
-No. I can't do that.

He would simply

keep denying it,
like he's been doing so far.

And in the event that he says it is so,

all we'd be accomplishing with this
is getting Alexander to go after

Víctor with everything he's got.

We can't do that right now, Amalia.

Remember something important
I told you: you have to win this

with your head,

not with your heart.

Look, Esteban. I don't know
if you have children…

-I don't.
-…but my heart

and my head are telling me
that I can't leave my son alone in this.

I have to do something. Help me.

-Help me.
-I understand. Look.

Let's do this, Amalia. I know
you want to do everything for your son,

I understand.

Believe me, right now,

stirring up the hornet's nest
will only harm your son.

Then I propose something.

Let me do my job.

Trust me.

And I assure you
that we'll get out of this.

Okay, fine.

-Calm down.
-Yes, I'm calm.

We've waited too long for a change.

And while at times that real change
seems impossible

in a fenced-in, overburdened country

taken over by its rulers' corruption,

today that change is not only possible,
but necessary.

-Alexander Orduz for president.
-[cheering]

[people chanting] Orduz, Orduz!

Orduz, Orduz!

[Henao] Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Can you tell the court
who the person in the video is?

Your Honor, the video
just presented by counsel…

Sometimes real change seems impossible
in a fenced-in, overwhelmed country,

taken over by its rulers' corruption.

[people chanting] Orduz, Orduz!

[cell phone ringing]

Amalia, how are you?

I know you're not in the city, Karen,

but I need to talk to you urgently.

Something happened?

No, I'd rather talk in person.
Can you call me when you're back?

-Yes, of course.
-Thank you.

Uh…

Guys.

Mrs. Amalia, what happened with Víctor?

Hanging in there. Hanging in there, guys.

Well… show me all the songs

-Betty left recorded.
-Yes.

Right away.

[news bulletin music playing]

As of 8:00 a.m. this morning,
the voting stations were opened

for the presidential elections,

and the candidates got up early to fulfill
their electoral duties.

We are totally confident
that we're going to win.

We rely on scrutiny,
and of course, on the institutions.

Alexander Orduz,
of the National United Family Party,

arrived very early at booth 42
in company of his wife, Karen Arbeláez,

after completing an extensive tour
of 24-districts

and over 50 cities and municipalities
in the final stretch of the campaign.

I'm the candidate who will defend
women, who represents families.

We're all tired of a corrupt state.

And the best tool to transform it
is family, but the traditional one.

According to Orduz, his meetings
with Colombians gave him new ideas

for many of the proposals

he wants to implement during his term,

including getting the bill passed
to ensure actual and effective

incarceration for the corrupt,

and the creation of the Department
of Women, which was also well-received,

and would have Karen Arbeláez as advisor,

who with her foundation
has contributed significantly

to the fight for women's rights.

However, the latest polls

reveal a technical tie between
Orduz and his main rival, Sonia Ramírez,

which could get the candidates
to a second round.

We invite all Colombians
to come out and vote.

Guys, I'm sorry.

As you say,
don't t*rture yourself anymore.

[sad music playing]

Hmm?

[Amalia] Thank you.

"I encourage all Colombians
to vote for Alexander Orduz."

Really?

Even a beauty queen
has brighter comebacks, Karen.

What should I have said?

"Vote for the man
who's f*cking up my life"?

What's with that foul language,
that way of expressing yourself?

That again?

Look, Alexander.

I supported you on your tour,
even with the damn department,

which you never asked me about.

-I can't do this anymore.
-You can.

Because I'll need you and Sergio
when I become president of this country.

And then?

What's going to happen then?

-I kept my end of the deal.
-Mm-hmm.

Are you going to keep yours?

Are we splitting up?

When I'm president,
we'll have that conversation.

What difference does it make?

[suspenseful music]

I'm going to get ready.

Put some makeup on.

♪ I have cried ♪

♪ As much as I needed to ♪

[Amalia] Mm-hmm.

♪ Yet I swear these lips… ♪

Yes, I like this one
for the promotional single, right?

-Yes?
-Yes.

The song is great, it's just…

-I think "La Traga" is better.
-Really?

Because it's stronger.

And not because of the music,
but because I feel lyrics are deeper.

Well, Betty has to decide that.

Yes, but you don't want
to bother her with work stuff.

-But she's been better lately.
-Yes.

Every time I go,
she only talks about this.

Yes, yes, yes. Me too.

-Should we involve her now?
-Of course.

I think this will cheer her up, Víctor.

It will make her apply herself
with that therapy.

Hope she can now leave that clinic,
because I'll be harsh, practical.

But we need her to come back,
because those fees are tough.

How come?
Doesn't insurance take care of that?

It covered the first therapies, my love.

The rest, the producing company
has taken care of.

But Esteban isn't charging us
for what he's doing.

That's good, otherwise we couldn't.

That guy is cool, right?

Yes. And you, no worries.
Are you going to vote?

-You know, this time I will.
-You don't believe in anything or anyone.

But you know what?
Even if it's just one more vote,

against that b*stard, it'll help us.
And not because of Karen.

If the country chooses him as president,

this would be like a national suicide.

Besides, I've been listening
to the proposals,

Sonia's proposals, and I don't think
they're that far-fetched.

-Yes, she's much better than that guy.
-Hm.

[cell phone ringing]

What? Coffee?

-Oh, come here.
-Tasty, right?

-Hey.
-Coffee, please.

Thanks for calling me. What's up?

[Karen] Hi. How are you?

Not so good.

What's up? Can we meet?

-Can you make it today?
-Sure. Here?

-Okay, I'll be there.
-Okay.

See you.

-Víctor.
-Yes?

Why don't you go and ask Betty

which of the two songs she likes? At once.

Now?

Yes. If you're going to vote,
stop by the clinic and ask her.

But you have to go now.

Didn't you say you'd make me coffee?

Yes, they were supposed
to brew the coffee a while ago.

But it's just been…
And there goes Jair with the last coffee.

Because it was the last coffee left.
Jair, shame on you.

What do you mean the last one?
Don't we have a coffee machine?

[hesitates] Yes, but…
our own, the good one.

Leave now. Today,
the voting queues are crazy. Go.

Go, go, son, you're running late. Go, go.

-Okay, fine.
-You go, I'm coming.

That guy really overcharged us.

I don't understand
why you didn't let Gerardo pick us up.

It's better to drop in unexpectedly.

Let's see what's going on with the mice.

You're leaving soon anyway.

In the meantime, check on them
and keep me updated, okay?

-And then I'll take you to vote.
-Why don't I go with you?

Oh, honey, you'll get bored.
This is pure politics.

For Alexander Orduz.

I've invested so much money
in this campaign that I can't lose.

Instead, you find out about Kitty.

I love you.

[suspenseful music]

Can I help you?

[suspenseful music]

What are you doing here?

I live here.

Yes, that's right.

-When did you get here?
-We just got here.

And how did it go?

Very well.

How did Fernán behave?

Like a prince.

Okay, mister,

go deliver that, okay?

The money should be well hidden.

Consider it done, sir.

-Count on it.
-I'm counting on you.

-Goodbye, sir.
-Goodbye.

[suspenseful music]

ALEJANDRO ORDUZ
FOR PRESIDENT

SONIA RAMÍREZ
FOR PRESIDENT

Alexander Orduz, remember. Don't forget.

Send me the picture.

Alexander Orduz, don't forget.
Here's a gift for you. God bless you.

United families stay together.

Don't forget, please.

Say hi to your family for me.

You can't imagine the scandal
we have here.

-Did you vote?
-I can't.

My ID card is registered in Bogotá.

-And you?
-This morning.

How did the tour go?

It's so tiring, dear. I'm exhausted.

And how is it going
with your attempt to fix things?

One day at a time, but fine.

That sounded terrible.

The truth is, with the campaign,
we haven't had time to be together.

And Daniel? How is he?

Well, he's almost fully recovered.

I'm glad.

But Karen, I think things with Alexander
will take a while.

If he becomes president,
he'll have less time for you and Sergio.

Let's wait for the results.

He's obviously going to win.

This town is full of publicity about him.

Well, when are you coming back
to continue planning the wedding?

We decided to postpone it.

-Why?
-Because of what I told you, Karen.

We're starting the project.
We can't abandon it to go get married.

When is it set for?

We haven't decided yet.

[cell phone ringing]

I'm getting a call. We'll talk later.

Okay.

Good luck with the elections.

Let's see what happens.

Bye.

[crowd cheering] Orduz, Orduz!

-Yes, Fernán?
-I'm here in town.

You'll tell me where we can meet.

Fernán is picking me up now
to take me to vote.

Why didn't you go together?

Because he had other things to do.

Guarantee the votes of his star candidate.

-I don't know.
-Oh, Gisela.

And your siblings?

-Doris is in town, voting.
-Hmm.

And Iván is in Bogotá
covering the elections.

When you talk about your siblings,
you omit Gerardo.

-That's true.
-Hm.

Well, will you tell me how the trip went?

Thank you so much for that gift.

I needed to go out.

And we weren't going to let Fernán
ruin your honeymoon.

-Hmm.
-You didn't send me any pictures.

Oh, I forgot.

But Fernán took a lot.

I'll show you.

And speaking of honeymoons,

tell me, how's your wedding going?
When will you get married?

I won't get married.

[suspenseful music]

What do you mean?

We broke up.

Why?

I realized I don't feel
the same way about Kitty anymore.

But especially
because I like another woman.

You don't say.

-The big problem is that she's married.
-Mm!

[Gisela chuckles]

So, you have the rocked child syndrome.

You were rocked so much as a kid
you live disoriented.

Getting involved
with a married woman's hard.

It's hard.

But I have another big problem:
I'm stubborn.

I hate to give up what I want,
especially if it's worth it.

Good luck with that.

I'm really sorry, you know?

You're a great woman.

Who any father would want for his son.

[chuckles]

What an idiot, Daniel,
to lose you like that.

I don't think it's definite.

Can I ask you a question?

Why did you break up?

[upbeat music playing]

The ranch and the attack
really affected our relationship.

In the end, we were the ones
who couldn't handle the problem.

I'm a bit confused about that, you know?

Why did you offer me that during the call?

I want to know what you think,
given the circumstances.

I want to know if you're willing
to engage in this,

knowing it could get you
in a lot of trouble with Daniel.

[suspenseful music]

[Lidia] I don't know, it's weird.

Esteban talked to Amalia.
I don't know if they discussed

or talked about it.

Okay. Keep me posted.

You know if Karen's coming any time soon?

I don't think so. I just talked to her.

Did she go with Alexander
to the party's HQ?

No… she's at Víctor's production company.

[sighs] Ouch.

Karen. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

No, don't worry, Amalia.

[sighs] Thank you for coming.

You don't have to thank me.

But you're worrying me.

What happened?

Uh…

Karen, I need your help.

Just tell me.

[exhales heavily]

I need your help to get your husband
to leave Víctor alone.

[suspenseful music]

You can't do that to me now, Ismael.

Because. It's not right.

We're in the middle of voting
and you and your party

can't demand the amount
of positions you're asking for.

What happened to the polling stations?

You were very clear that you
had talked about that. What happened?

Besides, in the last polls,
Sonia was two points ahead.

I can't afford to lose a single vote.
I need them all.

All of them, understood?

[cell phone ringing]

Oh, no.

Just what I needed.

The ex-president's wife. [scoffs]

Estercita, it's so nice to hear from you.
How are you?

I'm talking about
the social media scandal.

I'm talking about the bad faith
showed by that lawyer representing

the guy Víctor hit.

The video that's going around
on social media, have you seen it?

Everywhere, in the press, everywhere.

You know what that is, Karen?

That's bullshit.

Because it's not possible for a camera
to only get what's good

for the sh**ter.

The only one you can see is poor Víctor
jumping the guy

to hit him in the face.

Where's the rest?

Where's the rest when the guy comes up
to Betty and gropes her?

Where's the rest when that coward
pulls his g*n and threatens them?

Yes, Amalia.

-It's very strange.
-Oh, no, Karen.

Don't be naive.

It's not very strange.

There's evil involved.

And someone is secretly behind it,
someone who has the power, the means

and enough hatred
to handle the whole situation

with the sole purpose
of ruining Víctor's life.

[suspenseful music]

I understand.

Karen, don't think I'm an enabler,
because I'm not.

My son is a good guy.

My son is not a criminal.

He made a mistake, yes.

Hitting the guy while under the influence.

And if they have to punish him
for that, so be it.

But I won't allow them to end
Víctor's life for something that you

and I know has nothing to do
with him hitting that guy.

-What happened between Víctor and me…
-What happened between Víctor and you

is what got us here.
And we know that for a fact.

I know, Amalia.

And I'm very sorry.

Víctor is the best thing
that ever happened to me.

He is the best thing
that ever happened to you.

But you didn't think twice
before telling him

that you couldn't leave your husband

for a guy like him.

[music sting]

A guy like him, Karen,

is golden.

A guy like him would be loved
by many women.

And you had no problem telling him
to f*ck off after you got his hopes up.

So…

Amalia.

That wasn't the plan.

-But…
-But?

[sad music]

I take responsibility.

I talked to Alexander.

-And?
-Complained about what the media shows.

He said he wouldn't interfere again.

But he admitted that he has
his hand in it.

And you believed him
that he won't interfere again?

I'm going to talk to Alexander again.

Karen, I've never been one
to threaten people.

I have no reason to threaten people.

Nothing to threaten with.

But you're a mother
and you understand that if you see

someone hurting your child,
you'll get yourself k*lled.

So I'm telling you that
if your husband insists on this w*r,

I'm going to go to the press myself.

And I'm going to say that Alexander Orduz

is using all of his power
to destroy Víctor

because of the love
you and he had in secret.

-Amalia.
-I know it's terrible.

I know.

But I've thought about it a lot.

And if I do, Víctor
probably won't even look at me again.

And I don't care.

Do you know why I don't care?

Because I'd rather have Víctor hate me
than see him rot in jail.

You had absolutely nothing to do there.

Esteban, Amalia is worried.

I had a duty to come see her
and listen to her.

Karen, don't you see that every time
you want to do Víctor a favor,

you put yourself at risk?

I won't leave him alone.

Especially when he's just
a victim in all this.

Now, will you answer my question?

-What do you want me to say?
-The truth, Esteban.

Do you think Alexander
is behind Chaparro's defense?

I know that Jimmy stirred things up
with the press.

I don't think so, Karen.

I'm certain

that your husband is doing everything
and beyond to put Víctor back in jail.

[dramatic music]

So? Did they discharge you?

It seems so. The doctor said
the last few tests were perfect,

and I can continue the rehabilitation
at home.

Wait a minute.

Hello?

No, don't worry. It's just that…

That…

Yes. Listen.

You know what? You get ready,

and I'll see if I can find
the papers I lost around here, okay?

I'll pick you up shortly.

Okay.

[suspenseful music]

Dani, if a journalist calls,
there's no interview with Víctor so far.

He doesn't talk to anyone.

-Okay.
-As long as he's in…

Mrs. Amalia.

I just saw Karen leaving.

It's an order from the lawyer.

What was she doing here?

Weren't you at the clinic?

-Didn't you go see Betty?
-Mom, what was Karen doing here?

-[scoffs] I…
-Come on, answer me, please.

Mom, why was Karen here?

-Amalia.
-I called her.

What do you mean?

I called Karen

so she could talk to her husband
so he leaves you alone.

-Are you kidding me?
-No.

Someone had to do it.
Would you? No, you wouldn't.

Look, Mom.

That guy Alexander messing
with my case is just an assumption.

-No.
-We don't have proof.

You and I both know something strange
is going on here, Víctor.

And she didn't deny it.

Because you cornered her.
Why did you bring her here?

I didn't corner her.

I didn't attack her,
you don't have to defend her.

I'm not defending her, either.

The only thing I need in my life
is to get that woman out of my head,

and neither you nor her are helping.

Víctor, understand. I'm not going
to sit back and watch them ruin your life.

I must do something.

Let me tell you that whatever you just did
doesn't work.

-It's not right.
-We don't know.

So, what has to happen?

According to you, what should Karen do?

Talk to the husband she's reconciling with

to tell him to leave
the guy she cheated with alone?

-If she must, she should.
-Mom, please!

-Yes.
-Listen to yourself.

-Be logical. Think.
-She also has a responsibility in this.

-She doesn't!
-She does!

She doesn't, Mom!

I'm the only one responsible for all this.

I'm the one who got drunk.

I was the one who punched him in the face.

I decided not to stop the fight.
I'm responsible for all this.

I know, but someone is manipulating
this situation, Víctor,

and it's her husband.

So if she can help us, please let her.

She already did.

She recommended her brother
to be my lawyer.

It was much more
than I should have accepted.

What will you do?

-What I have to do, Mom.
-What?

I have to talk to Karen.

To tell her that whatever she agreed to,
to forget about.

-It's just…
-She's not answering.

You don't understand.

-What don't I understand?
-That Karen's husband

will destroy your life.

I don't need Karen to intercede for me
with her husband!

I don't want to be a topic of conversation
in that house or at that table.

And, much less, in that bedroom.

Understand that, please.

And even though I think that guy
is a scoundrel,

Karen made a decision
and I have to respect it.

So she has to be there
and I have to do my thing.

Calm down.

Víctor, this is a fight between
a tiger and a tied donkey,

and you're not the tiger.

I'd be tied up
if I had anything to do with it.

But I have nothing to do with it.

And I have to take responsibility
for what corresponds to me,

not to you two.

I need you to leave me alone
and stay out of it!

[sad music playing]

[cell phone ringing]

Voicemail. Please leave a message
after the tone.

[beeping]

Hello?

I've been calling you
for a while, and you're not answering.

I guess this is better.

Karen, didn't we have a deal?

You stay away from me,
and I'll stay away from you.

I don't understand why
you can't keep your word.

Look,

regardless of whether
our assumptions are true or not,

Esteban and I will take care of that.

And whatever game your husband
is playing, I'm not guilty of anything.

That has to count for something.

Then you don't have to be
in the middle of it.

And I don't want you
to get involved, please!

You, on your end, with your life,
your things, rebuilding your family,

and leave me here alone with my problems.
I don't need you.

Goodbye.

[Iván] How did it go with Gisela?

Well, since he left her here,

I told her what I thought.

I told her that what I no longer felt
for Kitty, I felt for another woman.

And how did she take it?

Well, she's always kept to herself,
but I think it's a good sign.

-Hey.
-What?

Any news about Kitty?

Did she go to Bogotá, or to Mexico?

I have no idea.

What I do know is that,

if you want things to go
the way we want them to,

you must forget about Kitty.

Pretend she doesn't exist.

[dramatic music]

[Gisela] Hello.

-Oh.
-How did it go? Tell me.

-Hmm?
-What can I say? Hmm?

[both laugh]

There were cops everywhere.

In every voting booth,
in every group that was formed, huh?

Unlike four years ago.

-We did whatever we wanted.
-Oh… And is that

-good or bad for you?
-Oh, no. Bad, very bad.

Yes, I have many interests,
and I need to keep an eye on everything.

-It's very complicated that way.
-Of course.

But tell me, how did it go for you?
Did you talk to Daniel?

Yes.

And what did he say?

Nothing.

He didn't say anything. He asked me

how the trip went,
how you were, and all that.

[suspenseful music]

What do you want me to say?

What's wrong with you? Are you okay?

Don't tell me you're pissed off

because I left you here and went to town.

No, it's not that.

I'm just tired.

[scoffs] Airplane riding
is definitely not my thing.

Horses are my thing.

So?

How did you see things in town?

I went there just now and I saw
a lot of people supporting Sonia.

No.

I saw something completely different.

Really?

Alexander wins.

How was your trip?

[suspenseful music]

Just imagine.

-Where's Doris?
-In town, voting.

I thought you'd run into her.

Do you have time? I need to check

the list of chemicals I need to buy.

No, I can't right now.

Why?

I have something urgent to take care of.

Hi, kid. Did you find your pill?

-[Kitty] María had one.
-That's good. Has the pain subsided?

I think this will do the trick.

Oh, that's good.

Okay, give me 15 minutes
and we'll meet up, okay?

I have something to do.

Come with me, honey.

And tonight, we'll sort out the amount.

We'll sit down and do it.

I'll be back.

[suspenseful music]

What are you doing here?

-Keeping a promise.
-What promise, Kitty?

I told you
I wouldn't leave you alone in this.

Here I am.

I think Daniel is up to something.
I'm sure of it.

I can smell it, I suspect.

You should feel the same.
Don't you talk to him all the time?

What does Kitty have to do with this?

Let's see.

Daniel, for some reason he hasn't said,
wants her gone.

Far away.

I want to ruin his life,
so what better way than bringing her?

Hmm.

What for?

So he makes a mistake.

So he exposes what his plan is.

What if his kindness isn't fake?

What if Daniel has good intentions?

What if he wants to end
this stupid feud between you two?

-Hm.
-Oh, Fernán.

Even though you're a hard, stubborn man,

you let your guard down.
Why can't your son do it?

I don't buy it. Uh-huh.

I might be right.

-Let me put it this way.
-Hmm.

Bringing that girl to the ranch
is not a bad thing.

She has a good project.

If I invest some money there,
I'll make a good profit.

So,

if you're right
and Daniel wants to reconcile,

the path of spirituality,

then, all good.

He'll just have to put up
with his ex-girlfriend.

But if you're right, honey,

and Daniel is hiding something,
then I'm a step ahead.

By using Kitty.

Of course.

I have to.

That girl could be my alarm clock,

my shield in case Daniel wants to hurt me.

No, I don't think so.

That girl has nothing to do with this.

She already does.

No.

Oh…

Your dad arrived today
and I talked to him.

I met him, explained the project,
and told him about us.

What did you say?

Since I didn't know
what kind of story you told him,

I didn't go into details.

I just said we weren't doing well,
that we were going through a rough time.

That everything we'd been through
had worn out our relationship.

That means he thinks what happened
between us was just a fight.

I didn't tell him that.

You didn't tell him otherwise either.

I just told him that whatever
was going on between us

had no reason to interfere
with the project.

-One has nothing to do with the other.
-Oh, Kitty.

"Kitty," what?

He had his doubts, but he's interested.

He said as long as we kept the personal
issue at bay, there'd be no problem.

Is that possible?

Is it possible to keep the issue at bay?
Tell me.

I have my reasons for being here.

But you found an excuse to get involved.

-I have to.
-No, you don't.

Daniel, I love you.
I can help you, I can protect you.

And I don't want to be with you anymore.

[sad music playing]

I don't believe you.

You'll have to start believing me.

I don't want you here.

If I can't walk away, what will you do?

-You have no idea what I'm capable of.
-You can't force me.

If you just try,
I'll go to Fernán and tell him everything.

-You wouldn't dare.
-Don't tempt me.

Mr. Fernán is waiting for you.

I'm coming. Two seconds.

I can't believe

that instead of including me
in your plans, you made up these lies

to get me out of your life.

I don't want to be here either.

I'd like to be with you in Mexico.

I wish we'd gotten married
and started the project.
