Caray, Caray!

Azul is not feeling well. Diego comes over. She chastise him for being Eva's "boy toy." He says it's the pot calling the kettle black. She asks him to leave as usual. He says she should stop being stupid, but she says she's not feeling well.
Sad piano music . . .

Azul collapses. Luckily Ceci discovers her. GSD comes over and takes blood.

Andres raises himself up from the ground where he was outside. Don't know what this was about. Was this having to do with his getting beaten up, or was he rooting around in Paco's shallow grave?

Leo and Mo discuss what to do. She wants them all to run away (Caty, Anres, Leo and Mo), but Mo counsels that it would be useless. Besides, they need GSD to work on the project to cure them (and now Azul). They talk about needing to get a password to a deposit box. I don't know what that is about. Ivan overhears this conversation in his master listening room.
He now knows that Azul has the virus and that Mo is using the infection to blackmail GSD into continuing work.

Diego goes to the party. He meets up with old Don Chucho, who is out of a job. He fixes him up with Julio, who will give him a job. Diego and Don Chucho will get an apartment together too. Diego leaves. Filler scene, mostly.

Now for a completely ridiculous tangent: We see Gloria talking to a phone sex client. She is arranging to meet him. Silvana overhears and asks if it isn't dangerous. Gloria says no, he's one of her most assiduous clients, and she needs the money or some such, as she is getting older. (I think that's what she said.)

Clemencia and dad are sitting at the table. Diego comes in. Mom is asking after Eva. She thinks she's such a nice person. Diego asks for Lidia. She's at her new apartment. Diego asks, what's the guy called, that espanollilo (that little spanish guy?), referring disparagingly to the new hubby. No, his name is Piero, says Pop. You shouldn't refer to him that way. He's an architect (and besides, my new boss). Dad reveals that he signed the contract. He wouldn't harm us--now he's part of the family.

Burgay and Ivan arrive. Burgay is holding a tool box. They come in and see Leonarda and Andres. Where is Mo? they want to know. I've always thought you two were a pair of little pigs (cochinos). They put on the handcuffs. As we know, Leo probably likes that!

Ivan goes in another room to find Mo. Mo says he knew Ivan would come. He is holding his arm. Do you have pain, asks Ivan. Mo pulls a gun! He says this is the best way I know to control pain. Ivan asks if Mo intends to kill him and Burgay. Mo hesitates. There's some discussion here that advances the intrigue a bit, but I'm too tired to follow it. Suffice it to say that Mo doesn't shoot. Ivan says he's got Leo and her lov...oops, I mean nephew, out in the other room. He tells Mo that they're under surveillance. As Mo blathers, Ivan sardonically says, Sorry, I can't concentrate on what you're saying. Finally, Ivan reaches out and applies pressure to Mo's neck and Mo keels over. Ivan draws (infected) blood from Mo with a syringe while Mo is out cold. Then he draws blood from himself with another syringe. This is all very strange.

Ivan finds Paco's ID in the drawer. Then he has Burgay bring Leo in. Mo wakes up, and Ivan holds up one of the syringes and threatens to inject Leo. Tell me the name of the toxin and where it comes from, he demands. I don't know, shouts Mo. Oh, no? This goes on for a while, until Ivan injects Leo. But I'm not sure which syringe he used. Mo shouts, Yolanda. Is her real name Yolanda?

Ivan and Burgay leave. Mo calls GSD and gets no answer, but he begs him to come and help. Sorry, everything I did before was wrong. I'll tell you everything now, he shouts desperately.

Meanwhile GSD is checking Azul's blood on a slide under his toy microscope. He is shocked at his discovery. He calls Emilia, and she doesn't want to hear from him, but he tells her it's about Azul. She says, take a taxi.
It looks like Eva was following him. Is that correct?

He gets there and reveals that Azul is infected, and it's all his fault. Didn't he reveal this yesterday? I don't get this.
Emilia counsels him to be calm or else he will not be able to help Azul. GSD says he can't turn in the bad guys, because then things would be worse. (I think that's what he says).
She also tells him not to tell Azul. They repeat the same discussion about the antidote having worked on some of the rats, etc.

Eva is meeting with Ivan and they are scheming how to get the antidote. They have to keep listening in on these conversations and get the password and whatever else was going on. Ivan asks how he will do it, as in some of the places he won't be able to listen. Eva says that it's his problem, but he'll think of a way. He's so smart. Her eyes glitter. I don't know why she doesn't love Ivan instead of doltish Diego.

Diego arrives to meet with Eva and Ivan. She invites him to sit and have a drink. She is wearing a very unfortunate sweater. It has a tangle of cables that look like brain tissue with long dangly pieces of spinal cord hanging down. They toast with Nostrovie--a Russian toast.

He wants to know what's going on. Why should he work under threat of a gun. She tries to tell him that all the big companies work that way. Why can't he know what's going on. Well, you know at all the big companies, if they spent time filling in all the employees it would be a big waste of time. Diego is a simpleton or is he pretending now?

She does reveal now that there is a big scientific experiment they are working on, and Mo is the only one who knows the origin of the germ, so they need him, delinquent or not.

At the end, GSD shows up at Mansion Mo to work. Mo continues apologizeing. GSD must continue the investigation to save his own daughter.
