Pasion - Jan. 17, 2008 Lazaro's safe haven; Jorge's has Rico's treasure; moving days for Ascanio, Lis and Fran
* Jesus and Mario walk into the underground tunnel. Mario looks around at the pirates and doesn't find Lazaro. Jesus explains how he left for food and drink and when he returned Lazaro had left. Mario fumes and presses Jesus against the wall for letting Lazaro escape. Jesus complains it wasn't all his fault. Mario lets him go and scolds the others for letting Lazaro leave. Guerrero and two others speak up about attempting to stop Lazaro but Lazaro has a mind of his own and left. Mario orders everyone to search everywhere for Lazaro and drag him back there like the pig that he is. Mario mounts his horse and leaves.
* Mario rides into town, first to search the saloon, then through the streets, the cafe, hotel marketplace, and even the brothel -- no sign of Lazaro anywhere.
* That night, Uriel rides back to Alberto and crew with news about the caravan coming. They lay in wait on top of the cliff overlooking the road. Below them are Juancho and his crew of pirates laying in wait for the same caravan. Caravan with multiple guards riding on horses in front come down the dusty forest road. The wire is tripped. Two guards and horses fall down. Pirates spring down the cliff to the road and start to swordfight with the guards. Pablo rides up front and dismounts and yells at the caravan to turn back, it's an ambush. Tuerco(?), crazy on adrenaline, doesn't hear Pablo yell at him who he is and stabs him in the chest. Pablo drops to the ground. Juancho and the rest take out all the rest of the guards and take off with the cart, and Rico's treasure chests.
* Mario and crew return to the tunnel. No luck so far finding Lazaro. One makes a smart-aleck remark and Mario slugs him, steps on him and tells him to just do his job. Man jumps up and asks just what is this job anyway?
* Alberto and crew watch Juancho and crew take off with the cart. They head down to the road and follow. Pablo rolls his eyes; he is just barely alive.
* Alberto and crew catch up with cart. As driver pleads, Alberto shoots him dead. One lone pirate pops up from the back and two of Alberto's crew stab him dead.
* Lazaro wanders down to the road. He finds half-dead Pablo; flips him over and says "Well, well, Pablo." He kicks dirt on Pablo and leaves quickly.
* Back at the tunnel, Mario and crew wait. Guerrero and other return with news about an ambush on the road outside of town. Mario wonders about Lazaro. Guerrero isn't sure. They leave quickly.
* Alberto walks Jorge, still in his pajamas and robe, down to the mansion dungeon room. Alberto shows Jorge the chests they picked up tonight; and all the riches inside each one. Alberto assumes that it is pirate treasure. Alberto, Uriel and Matias are giddy with joy over the loot. Jorge is stunned.
* Team Mario gets to the road. Mario jumps off his horse and finds Pablo on the ground, gravely wounded. Mario realizes that they got "Antillano's" money. Mario checks and realizes Pablo is still alive. Mario grumbles and then orders Jesus to investigate and meet them back at Rico's hacienda. Mario, Guerrero and other man take Pablo to the hacienda.
* In the office, Alberto, Matias and Uriel report to Jorge about the pirate ambush team and how they eventually stole the chests from them. Alberto is all but convinced that they are indeed pirates. Jorge says, "What a pity for them, but what luck for us!" Uriel toasts to their success. Matias wonders when they will start to split up the fortune. Jorge advises to wait for things to calm down before divvying it up.
* Jesus opens the gate of the hacienda as Mario and team ride inside. They stop in front to dismount and carry Pablo inside.
* As Guerrero and Mario light the candles in the bedroom, Mario then takes a look at the wound on Pablo. He tells Guerrero and the other guy to get some stuff from the kitchen and get Pablo comfortable in bed; he's off to find a faith-healer.
* At the front gate of Ofelia's house, Mario stands and bangs on the door and shouts for "Santo!" Santo hobbles out in his long john pants and unbuttoned shirt. Mario tells him he needs Ofelia's help right now; he has an injured man at the hacienda. Santo looks confused. Mario says for the love of G-d and Santo Cristo, please. Santo goes inside to get Ofelia. Mario is worried.
* In the bedroom, as Ofelia starts to examine Pablo's wound, Mario asks her to try and save him. Ofelia will do what she can and asks Guerrero and the other guy to help keep Pablo immobile. Mario leaves to talk with Santo. Ofelia empties her basket of the herbal treatments on the table.
* In the salon, Mario tells Santo about the ambush and robbery tonight, about all the men killed along with Pablo. The caravan was bringing Rico's possessions to the hacienda. Santo wonders about valuables. Mario thinks not much. Ofelia enters the salon and tells Mario she did what she could for tonight, now it's up to G-d. Mario tries to pay her. She refuses, and tells him to give Pablo the balsamic three times a day. She will return in the morning to check on Pablo; and bring over the bedspreads that Dona Fran had ordered. Mario walks Santo and Ofelia to the salon door. They leave. Guerrero enters the salon; Mario grumbles to him, How could this happen? Captain is going to kill someone when he finds out. grumble. grumble. Demon.
* Cami tosses and turns in her bed. She can't sleep. She smiles with the happy thought of Rico telling her to trust him. She sits up, and asks, Why am I always thinking about him?
* Rico, sitting on deck of ship, thinking about his conversation with Don Gaspar (about clearing his name). Rico murmurs, "why?"
* From high atop the fortress wall, Lazaro spies on the pirate party below and La Paisana wandering through the mass of people.
* In the hacienda salon, Jesus startles Mario awake to report in on what they found on the road - tracks that lead in one direction then take a detour in another direction. Mario is puzzled.
* In the kitchen, Ofelia and Santo talk about Rico's 'servants'. Santo grumbles about why Cami won't take his advice and not trust the guy. Ines stops by, still sad. Santo is curious where they are going. Ofelia explains and asks Ines how she is feeling. Ines says fine, fighting back the tears. Santo says don't worry, sis. I spoke with Ascanio and he has agreed to break off the engagement. Ines says thank you, then runs inside. Ofelia asks Santo to speak with Vasco. Santo refuses and hobbles to the shop.
* Manuela and Alberto in his office. She reports in about her day with Lis and Fran at the hacienda. She wonders if Rico is wealthy? Alberto glares at her and refuses to answer.
* Fran and Lis say good-bye and thank their hosts Jorge, Sofia and Fortunata. Sofia says they have an open invitation to visit whenever they wish. Fortunata walk Fran and Lis outside. Jorge walks to the side salon. Sofia wonders what he's up to now? He asks why she always thinks so poorly of him? She says she knows him too well, and knows he's up to no good. He takes her hand and tells her some romantic sweet nothing to her. Her eyes swell up with tears and she tells him it has been many years since he last said that to her. She takes her hand back and leaves.
* Santo talks with Justo outside the market, as Justo unloads the supply cart, about Justo possibly renting Ascanio a room at his house. Ascanio wants a place of his own and not feel like a "moocher" at Cami's house. Inside the market, Cami and Rita have a short pleasant conversation. Justo looks in and shouts to Cami. Santo walks in to greet her and then leave. Rita feels invisible again, and Cami and Justo walk away together.
* In the market office, Cami and Justo discuss Rico, when he will return and the marriage proposal. Justo supports her and will play an idiot if Jorge ever asks. She feels like an embarrassment to the family. Justo assures her that's not the case, don't worry about it. They then discuss her money loan and he insists on repayment; she says her fortune is the family's too. He says they'll talk about that later. He reminds her how much like her mother she is - pretty, kind, happy.
* Mario and Jesus walk around to the front yard of the hacienda - Mario is still puzzled by the direction change of the tracks. Mario does his own "Oh, Crap" version as he spots the coach pull up outside the gate. Jesus opens the gate and Mario welcomes Fran and Lis to the hacienda. Fran panics with the sight of two strange men walking out of the house. Mario explains that there's been a problem. Lis is angry and doesn't want anything to do with it. Fran shuts her up and asks Mario about the problem. Mario explains about Pablo's injury and he's recuperation inside the house. Fran and Lis are stunned. Mario snaps and says they can take up their grievances with Rico when he returns. He and Jesus leave. Fran whispers to Lis that is what they will do, and they walk to the house.
* Rita waits on customer as Cami and Justo come back to the market. Justo hugs Cami and then goes to talk business with peddler out front. Rita asks Cami when she'll invite her over to her house - Cami says no invitation needed, you can come whenever you want. Cami leaves.
* On the street, Cami finds Jimena. Jimena tells Cami that Claudio went to find Ines. Cami tells her that Ines is the woman Claudio was referring to the other day. Jimena is surprised. Cami explains what Santo told her about wanting Ines to marry Ascanio, and she is infatuated with Vasco. They walk away together and gossip.
* Tuerco and companion find Lazaro on the wall sleeping.
* Tuerco and companion hogtie Lazaro's hands and drag him down to the patio grounds. Juancho greets Lazaro and thinks Lazaro is there as a spy for Antillano. Lazaro says no, he isn't a spy. Juancho doesn't believe him and beats him up. La Paisana comes out to break it up, backs Juancho and others away from Lazaro. She unlatches the rope from his hands.
* Santo finds Ascanio and Claudio out at the picnic tables. They talk and walk back to the shop. Santo tells Ascanio that Justo has agreed to rent out the room to him. Ascanio has to explain to Claudio why he has to move out - he doesn't want to be a "kept" man. Claudio understands but hoped he would wait until Rico returned, then mentioned Rico's promise to help him recover his inheritance at Salvatierra. Santo is stunned and Claudio has to explain. He and Ascanio inadvertently let it slip that they knew Rico from La Mariana island (which is contrary to what Cami had previously told Santo).
* In the dining hall, la Paisana and Lazaro talk about Ricardo and his new hacienda and Mario. Juancho doesn't believe it. Paisana knees Juancho in the groin and orders everyone to leave the hall. She returns to talk with Lazaro - he shows his ego and says that he is a better captain that Antillano. Paisana and everyone laugh. Lazaro is offended. Paisana grabs his face and sits him back down. Lazaro continues about Mario's death threat, then about witnessing the latest pirate ambush, of which there were several of Antillano's men hurt and killed. Tuerco stands up and proudly proclaims he did it, he killed Paisana's son with the twist of his knife. She glares as he cackles. She presses her hand on his good eye and stabs him in the chest. He falls dead on the table. She wipes her dagger on his shirt and says when a dirty dog dies, he doesn't get clemency. She huffs and leaves the hall. Juancho mumbles.
* Paisana, in her room, sits on her bed and cries. (ed. note: so Pablo must be Paisana's son.)
* In the courtyard, Claudio and Ascanio tell Cami about their slip with Santo. She isn't too worried about it. Ascanio agrees to go to Rico's hacienda and ask about any word from Rico and his arrival date. Cami gives him directions. He leaves. Claudio and Cami sit down - Claudio is upset because Ascanio is moving out to Justo's house. Cami sighs and says he does have the right to have his own life. Claudio wonders when he will get that chance too. Cami tells him to be patient, wait for Rico to return and complete his promise. Claudio wants to go and kill his cousin. Cami says don't talk like that.
* In the bedroom, as the guy works on the compresses, Ines and Ofelia care for Pablo's wound and wonder about the other scars. The guy covers with explanation that the scars are from beatings by his former master.
* Ascanio enters hacienda yard and asks Lis and Manuela where Mario is. He needs to speak with him. Lis antagonizes Ascanio about where he is living. Ascanio mentions to Manuela to tell her father, he doesn't need that loan, he has a job and is earning money. Lis laughs/cackles about Ascanio having a job. Ascanio leaves the message for Mario and leaves the hacienda. Lis then reveals to Manuela that Ascanio was the butler for her father in La Mariana, and that Cami was bought at auction and Tim married her and she inherited his estate and her freedom letter. But once they prove the marriage was never consumated, due to Tim's advance age, she will get the whole entire estate back. Manuela hides her curious interest behind her fan.
* Inside the salon, Ofelia explains to Fran about Pablo's injury and treatment. Fran is disinterested - let the guys handle it. Ofelia and Ines leaves.
* Out by the front gate, Ofelia rambles on about Pablo - his family, scars - then asks Ines what's wrong? Ines continues to say she has a stomach ache. Mario rides up to the gate and greets them. Ofelia reports to him that Pablo is still the same, she doesn't think he will survive.
* On the street, Ines isn't paying attention to Ofelia as she rambles on and on about her doubts and questions about Rico as a businessman. Ines has to go visit Cami right now and leaves.
* Mario is in the bedroom. Guy complains about doing a woman's work in caring for Pablo. He thinks Pablo should die; Mario says shush about that, he is the one person who can tell them what happened at the ambush and stole Ricardo's stuff. Guy grumbles about the work. Mario says shush and just do it.
* Ines cries to Cami in her salon - about Ascanio and Santo's talk to break off the engagement. Cami suspects about Vasco's involvement. Ines breaks down and tells Cami about the other night, when Vasco drunk as usual made out with Ines in his room. Ines is scared to tell Santo, he may hit and hurt Vasco. Cami grumbles Vasco deserves it. Ines confesses that she consented to it (not rape). Cami promises to help - she will first talk with Santo, then Vasco and then to Ofelia and Justo. She assures Ines that Ofelia and Justo will understand - no hitting or fighting. They hug.
* Pancho, Crispin, Ascanio and Santo are busy at the blacksmith shop. Jimena wanders it and bugs Ascanio about being too busy for her. She then pulls Santo aside to tell him that Cami needs to speak with him right now. He hobbles to the house to change. Jimena leaves.
* Mario finds Jimena on the street as a caravan rolls passed. He asks her for a huge favor and explains about the ambush last night and Pablo's injuries.
* Outside the mansion, Don Alvaro has arrived at the door and the guard leads him inside.
* In the courtyard, Mario talks with Cami about the ambush and the stolen items of Rico's. Jimena joins them. Santo arrives. Mario and Jimena leave. Cami and Santo go inside the house.
* In the salon, Santo tears into Cami about letting Jimena go away with Mario and for trusting Rico and his men so much; why didn't she tell him anything about La Mariana. She wonders why he's so interested? He asks what she's hiding? She's not hiding anything and changes the subject to Ines - but after looking at Santo's angry face, she doesn't want to talk to him at all. He's concerned about her. She thanks him for the concern, but thinks he just doesn't want any man to be at her side but him. She tells him, you can have your life, and I have a right to live my own too! He gulps and asks about Ines. She mentions Vasco. Santo explodes and shouts Vasco will never be permitted to marry Ines. Cami tries to convince him of Vasco's good qualities. Santo doesn't want to hear it; his mind is made up, Vasco hasn't changed and never will. Santo asks Cami about her feelings for Rico - she says yes. He gulps again.

And I'm figuring that either Vasco reforms, and becomes worthy of Ines, or she finds someone else - Claudio, maybe? he's closer to her age, he's cute, and he has nice hair.
Toddson
I fear Vasco will use the ED letter to get Cami off his back about marrying Ines.
Anvils are teetering!
M from CT
1. were the guards Ric's pirates protecting his gold?
2. was that another band of (bad) pirates that ambushed Ric's pirates (guards) who in turn were ambused by LaFont?
3. so if La Paisana is Pablo's mother, then that makes her on the side of Ric since Mario is nursing Pablo back to life, si?
4. I'm confused and I'm wondering if this is really worth trying to figure out.
And I hope that wasn't ALL of Ricardo's treasure - or he really will have to get the family fortune back from Camila (although, if he marries her, he'll get it anyway, won't he?)
Toddson
I did my homework on esmas site.
Back in the past 'El tuerto'(the one eyed) and 'El negro' were the rapists of the 3rd episode. Ric killed 'El negro'.
La Paysana seems related to Pablo. Probably, he is her son. She seems to know that Pablo works for Ric. That's why she asks about 'el Antillano'.
Someone had to do it, according to the law of Telenovelas Land. Who is next?
“Alberto assumes that it is pirate treasure. (ed. note: what they don't know will bite them in the end.)” LOL! And HOW!
“Jorge advises to wait for things to calm down before divvying it up” This made me wonder if they’ll leave intact enough for Ric to recognize his stuff, especially the jewels. Certainly the cofres Ric will know. If you want to get rid of the evidence, the best way is to divvy up and get it unrecognizable. The gold could be anyone’s, but the cofres and the jewels….tsk.
“Rita feels invisible again, and Cami and Justo walk away together.” Many of us wish she was.
For the first time in this episode, I got a sense of impending insanity in Lis. I think she’s going to go off the deep end with anger and revenge. Her tone bordered on hysteria when Ascanio was at the house and she laughed at him having a job and then explained to Manuela about the whole situation.
Maybe Pablo will live and clear up a lot of this, plus La Paisana will be happy. Pablo has a lot of the answers about the caravan assault and robbery that Ric’s going to want to know.
Jeanne
I'm confused myself. Why would Ric have official looking guards on those white horses, let alone send his stuff like that without tons more men when he knew there would be robbers along the way as well as Juancho and his gang? Oh well.
So, it looks like LaFont's gang chased off Juancho's gang or took up where Juancho's group left off, I guess? Why didn't Juancho's group keep up the assault and attack LaFont's gang like he told his gang he would?
==============
This is what I understood in the Pirate's bar scene and why I believe La Paisana and her pirates are neutral regarding Ric. They all know each other and have all had honorable dealings with her in the past. Tuerto (the blind eye) stabbed Pablo, a friendly pirate obvioulsy well known to him, who was asking him to recognize they were all his pirate buds so they would stop the attack. Thickheaded Tuerto laughed at that and thought he was hot sh!t for going ahead and stabbing him anyway. So La Paisana stabs Tuerto saying that "when a buddy asks for mercy you don't kill him." Then she goes into her bedroom and cries. She had to know somehow that Pablo (her apparent son/grandson) was part of Ric's crew. Also they all respect Ric because they laughed at Lazaro when he claimed Ric was envious because he was a better captain than Ric.
I don't think Ric would necessarily recognize the jewels, there were so many of them, so I bet somehow he will be shown the two coffers by a pompous Jorge or LaBouffant who want to goad Ric into giving himself away as a possible pirate. Or, he could find out some other way and get La Paisana's gang to storm the palace after all and steal it back for him as repaying the debt for saving her Pablo.
Jeanne
Put me in the camp that thinks that Lis is getting nuttier. I think she spells some trouble for Ric and Cami in the road ahead. Especially if she gets hooked up with LaFont and then considering he's got some loot now---scary.
I'm also all in favor of color coding the pirates.
The actor playing Mario is fantastic. I love that character. Ric is quite lucky to have such a sidekick.
>>"Why am I always thinking about him?" Oh Cami, you are soooooo slow!>>> Too funny Julie!!
>>“Rita feels invisible again, and Cami and Justo walk away together.” Many of us wish she was.>> Right on Jeanne!!
>>Pablo has a good place on the opening credits, so Telenovela's Saint is on his side.>> Good spotting, I'll have to search for him. Also, good to know, especially if he's Paisana's kin, his surviving might just be what saves Ric from ruin.
OK, so another question, is the guy who plays the long haired pirate (not on team Ric) the same guy who plays Mario on Amar and was one of the bad guys in Destilando? He looks familiar. I think JR has his character's name as Juancho? Anyone know if it is the same guy?
Susanlynn....too funny about Ascanio o o! These dudes DO need to lose their shirts more often!(At least the buff ones!)
It WOULD be interesting if Whore-hey did give Cami some of the jewels from Ric's cofre and Ric noticed!
"Do you imagine the hysterically jealous Lis might team up with a bitterly jealous and angry Santi? That could send the plot in an entirely unexpected direction, pure chaos theory!"
Oh, what a merry mess that would be! She's sure paying enough attention to Santi that it could happen. Think of all the havoc they could wreak with a few well-placed words.
Jeanne
"As for Ric's treasure chests, maybe Jorge will give some of the jewelry to Camila to urge her to give him another shot and Ric will notice it. Jorge will have some 'splaining to do." Oh, that'd make for some interesting moments, wouldn't it? Maybe she won't actually wear the piece, just leave it laying around where Ric will see it. Like in her bedroom.
Cathy: :-) And Juancho was Orlando in Duelo de Estupidos (thanks, Cap'n Sylvia, for the name). He's also something on Amar sin Limites. He's a busy boy. I wondered tonight how he has been keeping all the lines straight. Univision/Televisa must hire some folks, tell 'em they're working full-time, and use them on multiple projects in their "spare" time.
Jeanne
Oh, what great plot device ideas you all have.... if Jorge would give Cami one of Ric's baubles. That would surely lead Ric to discover that Jorge and his cronies have turned into highwaymen. In the grand scheme of things, aren't highwaymen just like pirates, but without the ship? So who's crime trumps the other.....I'm going with piracy. Having to navigate the seas whilst stealing seems a bit more tricky. Good thing that Ric is secretly working for the crown to clear his name.
Thanks for the headsup on Pablo's appearance in the opening credits....it will make spotting him soooo much easier. Each time I watch the opening I see something/someone I didn't see before. There is just so much going on.
Also, I'm still trying to picture those pirates with perky, sunshiney "Hi! My name is" stickers. Thank you for an ongoing chuckle.
Thank you for posting the episode numbers in addition to your fine recaps. I get to watch about 1 episode of Pasion per week, and this blog keeps me well updated.
Regards,
Refle from SoFla
This episode reminds me 'Ladrón que roba a ladrón' but here the roles are reversed.
This episode was indeed confusing but with J.R. 's explanation and evetybody's comments, I think I understood many things.
Yes Julie, Cami is really, annoyingly, exhaustively slow. Jimena should punch her.
Mario has turned into a likeable and interesting character, where at first he seemed sleazy and over the top. Even though he is a killing, stealing, wenching pirate he still has a strong sense of morality (his own) and loyalty to Ric. NJSUE
Interesting to see La Paisana in action. Lis is starting to crack.
La Paloma
Well, I just gotta say...something about fiscal responsibility...or irresponsibility in this case. Whatever happened to common sense?
I would advise:
Never put ALL your valuables into a wagon with a few pirates to protect it, while they follow another wagon of valuables down their (routine) main road in the middle of the night.
I hope Ricardo is diversified...
jb-Iron Jack Cash
NJSUE: Once I saw Bouffant ask for that unique looking necklace I figured you and Jeanne capn jenny cash to be right. It is too unique for Ric not to notice once Lis receives it as an engagement gift from Al. So.......
I found a capitulos site that says he's in two sequential cap's, so maybe he'll be in next week's show as well, if they run them consecutively.
Also, blog-mom, how 'bout a blog entry for the show intro, so we can all pitch in and try to figure out who is connected to whom? Its own blog page would keep all our comments together.
And while we're at it, waddaya' think, fans, 'bout posting all these extraneous characters over on the Characters blog page? It could become a running list, so when someone reappears we can peek back at that page to remember who he was.
I still think Televisa should've given 'em cheery "Hello! my name is Dead-Eye" stickers.
Iron Jack Cash - "Never put ALL your valuables into a wagon with a few pirates to protect it, while they follow another wagon of valuables down their (routine) main road in the middle of the night.....I hope Ricardo is diversified... ROTFL!!!
Jeanne
First, the easy one: At the blog page Pasión: Character photos and profiles we could post new significant characters we figure out, so people could go there for reference. If folks choose to do that.
Second, the suggestion I think confused you. Just like you have a new blog page (is that the right term?) for each day's Pasion episode, could you make a blog page for the panoramic scene at the beginning of the show, when they play the opening credits? It goes so fast, but it is obviously full of hints about who ends up with whom. People have posted observations on various days' blog pages. If you had one blog page dedicated to the topic, we could post all comments there, and people like me who are utterly clueless, might have some hope of figuring it out.
e-mail me if I'm still unclear. PaulaH88@hotmail.com . Thank you for asking.
ATTN: Cathy Fri Jan 18 07:57 (or anyone with info). I just ordered the Alborada DVD's from EBay. You mentioned Melinama's recaps. Where can I find the link to them? Thanks bunches everyone for making this such a pleasant experience. Di.
