HERIDAS DE AMOR - Monday, 12/04/06
Amparo and Francisco discuss her progress with the confectioner’s classes. She says she is doing so well she wants to take a Mexican cooking class next. Francisco asks her why she has not mentioned Ramon for nearly a month now. She says she cares for him, but right now, she does not want to spend all her time doing for or being with him. She wants to continue these classes and feels that would be impossible if she marries Ramon. They agree she will need to tell him the truth and pretty soon.
Nuria sneeks into Florencia’s room that morning while she’s still asleep and picks up little Enrique. She hugs him and says she knows that Berta lied to her and that he really is Florencia’s, though she did do her part to help give him life. She puts him back down and quietly leaves the room. (Good! The girl is coming back to her senses. What a pain.)
Berta puts on one of Alfredo’s necklaces just to show off in front of Alejandro during the bail hearing. She tells Lucas that it will complicate her plans if Alfredo gets free on bail. She will then have to resort to drastic measures even though she does not want to. (Uh-huh. Sure.)
The judge interrogates Cesar and Bertha. Cesar lays it on thick about dear Charito and them racing in just at the very moment to see Alejandro stand there and mercilessly shoot his beloved godfather, Gonzalo, after hearing arguing and shouting so loud it could be heard from the garden. Bertha confirms that even her niece, Miranda, saw him pointing the gun at them when she came running into the living room. Then it is Miranda’s turn to testify. Lilana again advises her to answer exactly as they planned and if she does not understand a question, to let the judge know immediately.
Luis Alberto meets Julio for lunch. Julio mentions that he finally got the two last clients away from Luciano. Luis Alberts wonders if the SLI is finally finished. Julio says SLI is as dead as Gonzalo. Then L.A. asks Julio if he ever worries that Cesar might do the same thing to him as he did to Gonzalo. Julio refuses to believe Cesar would intentionally try anything against him, his own father. The camera pans up to the trophy head of a bull hung on the wall above their table. --Now I am not sure if they might have been implying what I was inferring from that shot of the bull right then. The “expletive” I was thinking of wasn’t “cow cud”, but more like “cow pies”, which is what cow cud eventually becomes anyway.
Cesar, El Guapo and Bertha meet elsewhere and discuss whom they want to get rid of next. Cesar mentions that Julio has become and insufferable old geezer who constantly wants to run Cesar’s business his way. He’d love to get rid of him. Maybe with his bad ticker the old fogey could be frightened to death. Bertha then has him reconsider because he’s his father, but Cesar says that was not his choice and he could care less. Bertha says then he can do whatever he wants with him. El Guapo lets Bertha know then that everything is now ready for what she was planning to do with Nuria. Cesar gets angry and reminds her he wanted a divorce and until Nuria signs the papers, Bertha was not supposed to touch her. He goes further and warns them that if anything happens to her before and the law comes after him, then he will point the finger at the two of them.
Miranda is before the judge and is asked if she knew Alejandro came to take vengeance on her father. She answers that she knew beforehand that yes he was thirsting for justice from her father, but he didn’t come to kill him. She knows her husband and he didn’t come to kill him. Vengeance and murder mean separate things. The other attorney asks her if she said that because she really knows him or because she is blinded by love. Miranda panics at that question. Then she answers angrily that she doesn’t understand the double meaning or obscene intent behind the question. Liliana’s face drops and she shakes her head in frustration. The judge tells Miranda to explain her accusatory answer or face the consequences.
They give Miranda a minute to talk to her attorney and Liliana snaps at her for the insulting statement she just made to the judge. (Brainless bigmouth!) Liliana reminds her that the idea is to get Alejandro out of jail, not to infuriate the court. Miranda snipes that she didn’t appreciate their intent to catch her with the tricky two-sided question. Liliana tells her she was just supposed to answer the questions exactly as instructed and not to say anything more. Miranda angrily replies that she is just as well educated as Liliana and she should not be scolding her like a little girl. (If the shoe fits, Miranda..... So what was Miranda thinking? She is as capable as any licensed attorney is simply because she is a San Llorente? --Miranda pay attention to the woman who IS the trained lawyer here and just shut the hell up, ‘cause there ARE people more powerful than the San Llorentes and you’re lookin’ at ‘em!) Miranda snipes back that knows exactly how to reply to the question. Liliana says she better because the way she handled it, the judge could decide to look into her being her husband’s accomplice. So she better go back, sit down and correct the stupid thing she just told the court.
Luis Alberto tells Julio that he was surprised when one day he came in and found out that Cesar had married Nuria to recognize their child. This surprises Julio because he says he always thought Cesar despised Nuria and he thinks back to when he fired Cesar for abusing her at the office. Then Julio lets it slip that Nuria lost her baby and is very sick. Luis Alberto says he didn’t know and Julio explains how it happened.
Charo accompanies Nuria to the church. Nuria stays with Santiago to discuss her anger at God for taking her baby away from her. If he wanted to punish her for all the bad things she has done to others, then he did it the wrong way. Santiago tells her God doesn’t play with people as if they were little toys.
Cesar tells Bertha that they can take Nuria far away and do whatever they like, but they cannot kill her until he gets his divorce. He stomps off and El Guapo offers to teach him better respect for Bertha. She says he absolutely will not touch Cesar with even a rose petal. El Guapo kneels down in front of Bertha and remarks about her new smell. She asks what does she smell like; he says she now has the smell of fear all over her. She is clearly agitated again and walks off. El Guapo says to himself that he’s been looking for a long while for that smell and now he’s found it.
Miranda clears up her statement by telling the judge that being blinded by love would necessarily keep her from being able to discern the difference between the two actions and that loving her husband has nothing to do with understanding the intent to murder. If she were blinded by love of her husband that would necessarily negate her testimony. The judge is happy with this mincing of what the meaning of “is” is and lets her retract her former statement. Liliana is smiling so she figures she answered it the right way this time. Liliana congratulates her on her answer and says she’ll talk to the judge to convince him to let Alejandro go free. Liliana looks up at Miranda and Alejandro kissing through the bars and it seems she wishes it were her and not his wife.
Juan and Renata get together at a restaurant to discuss their situation. Renata asks him when he’s going to give her the divorce and he says never. He says he won’t because he knows the two of them still love each other. He scolds her for throwing away what they had for a trip to New York and a few purchases. So she throws Carola in his face and he says what else could he do? She tries to lie about her and Cesar but Juan admits he saw Cesar and her kissing passionately in the waiting room. Renata says she and Juan are over and it will never work between them. She cannot adapt to his world and he refuses to live in hers. He asks if it would make a difference if he said he would. She says it would be useless because they don’t have anything in common; to live together and make it work they need to have had similar life experiences and they don’t. He wants to know how serious she is about Cesar and if she’ll marry him. She answers that she doesn’t know. Renata says Cesar always behaved well around her but she doesn’t love him. He grabs her and asks if she could ever feel with another man the way she does in his arms. She remembers the first night they ever made love and she cries. Then Juan begs her for one more chance, but Renata says it would be useless because they would only be prolonging a painful situation. Finally, she tells him through her tears she doesn’t deserve him, and if he really loves her just give her the divorce. She walks off and leaves him there stunned and in tears.
Back at Alejandro’s manse Luciano is telling Pamela and Miranda that Miranda’s attitude had put Alejandro’s case dangerously at risk. She has got to put aside whatever is bugging her about the lady attorney and let her do her job. She works hard, gives 100% effort and spends lots of time away from her little girl to do so. Miranda complains that Liliana treats her like a mental retard and that drives her crazy. Pamela chimes in that she agrees with her friend. This frustrates Luciano no end and he finally walks off in disgust. Pamela gripes that once again they are left as the villains of the story. Miranda has second thoughts and tells her friend that it could be Luciano is right about Liliana. Pamela thinks not and that the woman is arrogant, pretentious, and rotten to the core.
Miranda calls up Vicente and asks for any information about Liliana’s personal and professional life. Vicente comes back in with photos and information. He leaves and the two women are awestruck at how darned perfect Liliana appears to be. Pamela says she feels a bit inferior cause Liliana appears to be a jack of all trades, since she has so many accomplishments. Pamela adds, “At least, she’s not a home-breaker and she doesn’t seem to steal husbands.” However, they cannot find anything wrong. She in fact seems to be a wonderful mother. That word stings Miranda.
Bertha comes back to the house and asks for Nuria. Charo tells her they went to the church and she stayed to talk with Father Santiago. Nuria walks in just then and Bertha screams at her for leaving and disobeying her orders. She tells Bertha that Florencia has kicked her out and that Fernanda invited her to stay at her apartment and that she accepted. Nuria also screams back at her that Bertha lied about that being her baby Bertha slaps her silly. Nuria screams at that and asks why she hit her. Bertha yells back because she loves her and because she disobeyed her. Charo rushes in asking if something is wrong with her, but Bertha reprimands her for not knocking. Charo tells her Luis Alberto came to see her. Nuria gets up to go and greet him but Bertha forbids it and leaves her in the bedroom telling her that she will go down to Luis Alberto and to pack her things and leave right away.
Back at Alejandro’s place, Miranda concludes that Liliana is similar to her in all ways. That is why she gets so upset. They both have the same qualities that would attract Alejandro and win his love. The only difference she says, is that Liliana is a mother. Just then, Alejandro walks into the living room. They hug and he says he owes it all to his lawyer. Miranda says too bad she’s not there to celebrate with them. Alejandro says, “She is here. She brought me, but first we had to drop by to pick up her little girl.” Down the stairs walks Liliana with her sweet little girl. Alejandro picks her up in his arms and tells her that she should be proud of her terrific mother. Miranda sees Liliana standing next to Alejandro with the little girl in his arms and, the three together look like a portrait of the “perfect family”. Miranda is beside herself with jealousy.
Nuria sneeks into Florencia’s room that morning while she’s still asleep and picks up little Enrique. She hugs him and says she knows that Berta lied to her and that he really is Florencia’s, though she did do her part to help give him life. She puts him back down and quietly leaves the room. (Good!

I was also thinking "what's the deal with pan up to the bull head???" I didn't know what in the heck to make of it. I like your interpretation!
I am already tired of the jealousy theme between Miranda and Liliana. I wish they would have made their friction more subtle instead of hitting us between the eyes with it. Thanks for your thorough translation of the testimonies. You did a great job.
In Friday's comments Carole asked about the novela that is replacing Heridas in the 7:00 time slot...I think the ad was for Duelo de Pasiones, and I gathered that Dos Caras was going to be stuck in a daytime slot. Did anybody else see that? Does anyone know anything about Duelo de Pasiones?

thank you jardinera! a wonderful recap and very fun to read.
yes, i also noticed/read yesterday that dos caras de ana will replace 'rebelde' in the day slot, not heridas...phew! :) i was a little worried about that because i also don't think it's a very good novela (i saw some of it on the other channel). then, yesterday i saw the advertisement for duelo de pasiones coming soon...i assume it will replace heridas...
i read a little about duelo and wasn't too fascinated with the story. it's about a husband who falsely accuses his wife of adultery and decides to take revenge on her and his daughter, thinking that his daughter (ludwika paleta, main character) is actually product of adultery. because of this, the daughter and the military man she's in love with (pablo montero) can't be together, and then a whole new set of revengeful acts start taking place by pablo's character. what i do like about it is that it revolves around a coffee plantation... i like stories that incorporate this sort of cultural essence. anyhoo...here's the synopisis for those who are interested: http://www.esmas.com/duelodepasiones/sinopsis/
sylvia...it's no amor real, but maybe it has some potential :)

Thanks for that information. Duelo has to be better than DOS CARAS. Thanks. I looked up Pablo Montero, and hmmmmm I think Ludwicka might have a thing going with him in real life?

addendum-- Pablo looks a little sleezy to me, though!
I'd rather have one with a little class, like Colunga or Camil!
