La Traición, Thurs., 5-22 - Tragedy touches one of the Three Tesoro Trackers
Faithful friends
The two Obragon witches yell at Hugo saying that he should be dead and that it was his fault that Lucas is paralyzed. Dr. Dan and Michelle have to remind them that they are in a hospital. Dr. Dan takes Boris for treatment. Hugo turns to get the hell away from Ester and Antonia when Michelle says to him that she is glad that things turned out better than he expected. Hugo thanks Michelle saying that she is a great woman. He says that he is devastated to learn what happened to Lucas. He asks Michelle to tell Soledad that he is alive. Maybe now she will talk to him. He leaves.
Alcides tells Hercu-less to take the money. Herc asks if this is a trick. Alcides says that he didn’t do what he was ordered to do but he tried. He didn’t betray Alcides. Herc says that he is sorry that he didn’t kill Boris. Alcides stops Herc from taking the money with his cane, “Your error saved my plan,” he says, “I forgive you because my brother Hugo wasn’t hanged but I warn you, not another lie, not one.” Herc takes the money and leaves. Alcides checks his pockets. He needs more money.
The Three Tesoro Trackers (TTT’s) (thank you Nancy) are complaining about their failure to find anything. Paquito is calm because, as he says to himself, he already has a fortune in the money he stole from the investors. He tells Eloisa and Rebeca that the plans for the Obragon house show that the treasure isn’t in the house, it’s outside. Rebeca says she wants to see the plans because she’s going to the house while everyone is at the hospital.
Ester asks Michelle if Soledad was with her in the plaza. Michelle says yes but she couldn’t stay to see the hanging. Michelle thought she had returned to the hospital. Soledad needs to know that Hugo is alive. Antonia suggests that Soledad went to the house to see the baby. Michelle and Andres leave to check there.
Hercu-less comes to see Margot. He’s come to tell her that he has enough money to buy a house just for them. They kiss. Margot says that she wants to his, only his. Of course, Arturo walks in on them. He says that now he understands why Margot wouldn’t be his last night, “So this is the creep who wants you just for him,” he says.
Eloisa and Paquito are making out. Eloisa asks Paquito thinks that Rebeca will find the treasure in the Obragon house with the clues that he gave her. He says, “Of course not. Do you think she’ll find it under a rug?” They are getting hot and heavy when Marina opens the door. Eloisa sees her and asks what she is doing here. Marina says that she has nowhere to go. Either they help her or she’ll tell the judge that Eloisa convinced her to lie about Hugo.
Rebeca is roaming around the garden of the Obragon house but she can’t find anything. She curses her dead husband. She hears horse neigh and hides. It’s Alcides. He goes right to the entrance to the treasure place and Rebeca sees him.
Eloisa and Paquito are trying to deal with Marina when the hangin’ judge calls and said he wants to speak to Eloisa. Somebody left the door open. Confusion reigns but Paquito and Eloisa leave Marina in the bedroom and go to see about the judge. Marina runs out of the bedroom and starts taking things out of a wardrobe to hide in it, I guess. She finds the money that Paquito stole from Hugo. A flashback to her confrontation with Boris is the proof. “So it’s true,” she says, “The investors’ money really was stolen from Don Hugo.”
Ursula is so happy to hear that Aurora’s daddy is alive (Aurora is playing with Ursula’s earrings again). She is also happy that Boris returned and saved Hugo. But she hasn’t seen Soledad and now Michelle and Andres are concerned that no one has seen Soledad since she was in the square. Soledad has disappeared. Ursula asks about Lucas and Michelle gives her the good and bad news – alive/will never walk again. Ursula says that Soledad will never forgive Hugo for this. Where could she be?
Marina comes to the amazing conclusion that either Eloisa, Rebeca or Paquito stole the money from Hugo. She hears Paquito and Eloisa returning and hides in the wardrobe. Then Paquito and Eloisa play a little comedy on the judge by receiving him with Eloisa in her underwear and Paquito made up and with a towel on his head. The judge is taken aback but pursues his inquiries. He wants to know if Marina told Eloisa anything about where she was going. Eloisa at first says that she has never spoken to the servant Marina but the judge has already been told that Eloisa was seen talking to Marina in the tavern.
Alcides goes into the treasure vault. He unhooks a string or trip wire that is stretched across the entrance to the vault. He flashes back to taking Vlad’s amulet and saying that he will always wear it. For some reason, Alcides takes the amulet off. He says that thanks to Vlad, he is the owner of an immense fortune. He will hire Dr. Max to find a cure for his niece’s catalepsy. He has to make Soledad love him as much as he loves her. Whatever it costs. Outside, Rebeca is already betraying her partners. She was Jeremias’ widow, the treasure belongs to her alone. She will wait until Alcides is gone, take what is hers and they’ll never see her again.
Arturo asks Margot if she is in love with Hercu-less. Herc signals her to say no and she does. Herc is a client like any other. Women like her don’t fall in love. Arturo tells Herc to get out. He has unfinished business with Margot. It’s a good thing Arturo can’t see Herc’s expression.
Michelle tells the Obragon witches that Soledad is not at the house and no one knows where she is. Ester says that Soledad was very upset. Where could she be? Ester wants to go looking for Soledad but Michelle says that she will do that. Dr. Dan is finished with Boris. Michelle asks how he is and Boris says that he is much better. Boris thanks Michelle. Michelle responds that it was Boris who helped Hugo. Michelle tells Boris that Soledad is missing. Boris will tell Hugo. The Obragon witches tell Boris to get out since he is Hugo’s accomplice. (Real charmers those two.) Michelle says that Dr. Dan looks exhausted. Is he ok? Dr. Dan says that he has something to tell her, something terrible.
The judge asks Eloisa what she talked to Marina about in the tavern. Eloisa says that Marina was afraid that she would be locked up if it was discovered that Hugo was impersonating his brother. Eloisa says that she counseled Marina that the worst thing was to run away. Paquito confirms that he was present during this conversation. Eloisa says that then Boris came to the tavern and spoke with Marina. The judge says that he will check that out and asks them to let him know immediately if they hear from Marina. The judge leaves. Eloisa says that they have to get rid of Marina as soon as possible. If she is caught and she talks, they’re lost.
Now we see what is going on in the treasure vault. The string is a trip wire for a crossbow. The vault is protected from thieves. Alcides leaves. Rebeca says that now it is time to collect her reward. After putting up with that old fart Jeremias, finally she is going to be an immensely rich woman.
Michelle asks Dr. Dan what he is so upset about. She thinks it has to do with Lucas’ treatment but Dr. Dan says no. Finally, he says that while everyone was at Hugo’s execution, he killed Dr. Max. Michelle is impactada.
Arturo wants Margot to put out, use her best skills and do exactly what he wants. Hercu-less is still standing there and Arturo orders him to leave. He does so reluctantly.
At the Hacienda, Hugo is collecting his stuff and having memories. He says to himself that Soledad will never forgive him especially now that her father is handicapped. How could he ask for her forgiveness? Boris comes in. Hugo motions him to sit down next to him and asks how he is feeling. Boris says that physically he is fine but, as Hugo knows, a broken heart hurts the most. It takes time to heal. Boris says that there is a huge gulf between him and Marina. He gives Hugo Michelle’s message about Soledad’s disappearance. Hugo says that she must be very upset about what happened to her father. He doesn’t thinks she wants to see him. Even if he wanted to help her, he can’t. Boris also tells Hugo that it was Hercu-less who kidnapped him from the prison. Boris concludes that Arturo was behind it. Hugo asks why he didn’t say so. Boris replies that Herc didn’t want to kill him. He doesn’t know why Herc didn’t obey Arturo’s order. Boris describes how when Herc told him to run away from San Marino, Boris recognized Herc’s voice. He fell down the ravine and before he passed out, he heard Herc say that he didn’t want to kill Boris. That is why Boris didn’t denounce Herc. Hugo concludes that it is Arturo who is behind all this. They will have to settle accounts with him.
Boris asks Hugo what he is going to do? Hugo says that he is ruined. He doesn’t have a penny. All his assets are now in Alcides’ name to pay the debts owed to the investors. Hugo says that he can’t keep Boris in his service. Boris is totally free to take any job he pleases. “No, Señor, don’t say that,” responds Boris, “I will never leave you. You supported me when no one else did. I have some money; it’s not much but it will support us for a while.” Hugo says, “You are a good person and a great man. It was my fault that I lost Soledad and it was also my fault that you lost Marina.” “No, sir,” says Boris, “She got lost on her own. She preferred to sell her soul to the devil.” “We have to start from zero,” says Hugo, “We have to start a new life. Are you sure you want to stay with me?” “I am your faithful servant, sir,” replies Boris, “We had some nice times in this house for which I thank you very much. Now it’s the moment to pay you back for all you have done for me. You can count on me.” They have a manly display of affection.
Paquito and Eloisa search for Marina after the judge has left. They find her in the wardrobe. Eloisa says that it was stupid of her to come to this house. What if the judge had seen her? She can’t stay here. Meanwhile Paquito is checking that his stolen money is still there and Marina is watching out of the corner of her eye. Marina says that she wants money. Eloisa says wasn’t what she gave Marina before enough? Paquito says that Marina is not in a position to threaten anyone.
Rebeca goes into the treasure vault. She is excited to see all the treasure and resolves to have it all for herself. She trips the wire and the crossbow fires an arrow into her stomach. She curses Alcides. No one can hear her. She will die here alone. Meanwhile, Alcides realizes he has left the talisman behind. He goes back for it and finds Rebeca. Alcides asks how she found this place? She says that she came to get what is hers. She is Jeremias’s widow, the treasure should belong to her. Now she is going to die. Alcides pulls the arrow out. Rebeca begs him not to let her die. He says that he won’t let her die but she has to promise not to say anything about the treasure vault. She agrees and Alcides says he will take her to Dr. Max’s. He carries her out. (Doesn’t anybody in the Obragon house notice all these comings and goings in their garden?)
Back at the endless scene with Arturo, Margot has lost her professionalism. Arturo thinks it is his handicap but she says that it her problem. Arturo asks if her problem is Hercu-less. Margot says no, Herc is just a client. Arturo responds that he is a client too, from now on he will be her only client.
Hercu-less is drowning his sorrows in drink and he flashes back to his happy exchange of vows with Margot after pond sex. Omar asks him what’s wrong. He looks like he’s seen a ghost. “I haven’t seen a ghost,” says Herc, “but I will soon.”
Dr. Dan tells Michelle about how he discovered that Dr. Max killed his father and what happened after that. Michelle asks how Dr. Dan discovered that Dr. Max kept his dead wife in a cabinet. Dr. Dan says that he never liked Dr. Max so he did some investigating. He swears that he didn’t want to kill Dr. Max but in the end, it was he who killed him.
Eloisa tells Marina that she can stay the night at the house and then they’ll find a safe place for her. Paquito pulls Eloisa aside and asks what she is doing. Eloisa says that she will ask Alcides for help in dealing with Marina. Paquito warns her to be careful. She leaves. Marina asks Paquito about the wardrobe and he says that it is his. He realizes that she found the money he stole from the investors.
I guess if Arturo has to wear a glove one hand, he thinks he has to wear one on the other hand as well. It looked pretty weird to see him caressing Margot with his good hand in a glove. Anyway, Margot thinks to herself that if she tells Arturo that she loves Hercu-less, Arturo will kill him. What should she do? (You fake it, Margot! Has love made you stupid? She’s a perfect match for Herc. in the intelligence department.) Arturo tells her to strip.
Hercu-less is drunk. He says that Margot told him she was going to change and along came Arturo and took what was his. His new boss hates Arturo and even if Alcides doesn’t tell him to, Herc says that he is going to kill Arturo like a dog.
Alcides brings Rebeca to Dr. Max’s but of course, Dr. Max isn’t there. Rebeca manages to gasp out the information that the treasure really belongs to Soledad because she is Jeremias’ daughter. Alcides is impactado.
The credits roll.
Tomorrow – Michelle goes for Hugo on the rebound.
Alcides tells Hercu-less to take the money. Herc asks if this is a trick. Alcides says that he didn’t do what he was ordered to do but he tried. He didn’t betray Alcides.

Alcides is confusing me... I mean, I'm glad to see any sincere display of compassion from him, but why would he care so much about Rebeca? He was obviously surprised to find anbody but Paquito in his booby trap, but all in all, anybody who makes it into Treasure R Us is a threat to him, so doesn't he need her dead at this point? I guess he could work out a deal with her. We'll see after tonight if she's still around. With Dr. Max permanently "out of the office", it doesn't look good for the widow Montenegro.
I know what you mean. Alcides is really schizo. If you set a lethal booby trap, you have to take the chance that anyone might trip it. He ordered Hercu-less to kill Boris. He was ready to let Hugo die a horrible death but all of a sudden he's so concerned about Rebeca that he is willing to let her live on the promise that she won't tell anyone about the treasure? I guess somebody had to give him the information that Soledad is supposedly Jeremias' daughter. I don't think Rebeca is going to make it. How could Alcides explain what happened to her - hunting accident?
And then there were Two Tesoro Trackers (or 2 ½ ) since I don’t think Rebeca is long for this world. This isn’t just a flesh wound. But I guess Alcides had to get Rebeca out of the Treasure Room or she would have started to smell. Since Dr. Max has gone fishing I don’t think medical help will arrive in time to save Rebeca. But she has served her purpose of imparting the useful information of what she believes to be true, i.e. Soledad is Jeremias’ daughter. (I see that you just posted that thought, Jean). When you think about it, the treasure is under the Obregon casa so it really belongs to Ester (grrr).
Two villains killed in two days, that has to be a record.

Hi Bess: Yes it is a historical drama (1890's period) but it is on Telemundo. All the episodes are available on You Tube and the last 50 episodes or so are also on the Telemundo website:

Thanks Jean! Aurora really is a little doll, she seems very comfortable with Ursula (and her earings!)
I don’t see that either Rebecca or Marina are really necessary to the plot anymore so I’m expecting (hoping) both will be duly dispatched. I think it would have been funny if Marina could have gotten away with Pacquito’s stolen money – not because she deserves it, but because I’d like to see Pacquito’s smirk disappear.
Maybe Dr. Dan and Michelle will make up a story about Dr. Max having to go away for awhile and letting them use his lab. Antonia would obviously be on their backs, but they could probably get away with it for a little while.
I also go back and forth on Alcides – I understand that any goodness he’s displaying must just be part of his plan to win Soledad and make Hugo suffer, but sometimes it is confusing. I was even thinking at one point that he might be a viable choice for Michelle when all of this was over. But I think I’ll go back to my original choice for her of Dr. Dan.

Rhonda, we know what you mean about Aurora. She’s just too adorable for words. I love it when she keeps looking up. I imagine it must be the overheard boom microphones that are capturing her attention (when it isn’t Ursula’s earrings). I’d love to see more scenes with her & Hugo, but what we seem to get more often is the Aurora ”blanket” baby. Mario did quite a few baby scenes in “Pasíon de Gavilanes” and not all of them went swimmingly. Perhaps that experience influenced his policy about working with infants. Who knows...
Re: Alcides, I had similar hopes to yours that he was redeemable and would make a good consolation prize for Michelle, but it seems he’s just too obsessed with Soledad. I kept thinking in the back of my mind that if he found a (good) woman that would have faith in him (enter Michelle), they could leave San Marino and start over. With someone by his side providing the love and affirmation that he felt he was cheated out of as a child AND if he got far enough away to be out from under Hugo’s shadow, I had hope that he could possibly turn himself around and really blossom. Sort of looks like it won’t go that way at this point, but you never know. ;-)

Aren't you forgetting, Marie Celeste, that evil doers in novelas have to be punished? Alcides has killed people, he has tried to kill people. He is still trying to kill people. He doesn't get to go off into the sunset with Michelle or anyone else. I think he could half redeem himself by sacrificing his life for Soledad out of his love/obsession with her. Total redemption could only come if he gave his life for Hugo's. He could have a really great death scene, which all actors want anyway ;-).
I just had an idea of how the script might unfold about Marina. Since she knows where the investor’s money is, if she gets captured by the police she will plea bargain using this information, although I don’t know if other countries use this way of dealing with criminals. Somehow, the fact that she knows the location of this money has to eventually get to Hugo or Boris’ attention.
Marie Celeste, you mentioned that Aurora must be looking at the overhead boom microphones. The other day when Rebeca showed up at the casa, did anyone happen to see that Aurora point over to Rebeca before Ursula was supposed to be noticing her. Aurora is certainly a scene stealer! No wonder Mario would rather work with a Blanket named Aurora.

Teaser for tonight's episode from Telemundo website:
La ambición de Rebeca y Eloisa les trae consecuencias extremas con Alcides, en un tiempo en que las lágrimas, la culpa y los reproches son constantes en la vida de Hugo.
Rebeca's and Eloisa's intentions have extreme consequences for Alcides while at the same time, tears, guilt and reproaches are constant in Hugo's life.
Sounds like fun for poor Hugo!

Yup -- I think Marina has the loot!
did anyone else notice the size of the bussell on her dress? -- filled with cash I'm sure
My husband enjoys seeing Aurora - he says over and over -- that little baby is quite an actress already --
There truly is never a dull moment when watching this novella ---

You're right that the concern for Rebeca seems a bit odd. I've just tuned in during the last 10-15 episodes. I was wondering if he was surprised at who the trap caught and remorseful that it had caught una dama.... Of course, there is the plot point of revealing who Rebeca thinks the treasure belongs to... but they could have done that in treasure room.
Looks like this group keeps the Dr.s busy... I'll have to search You tube for the earlier episodes it's been tedious to dig back through the tv.telemundo.yahoo.com interface to the older ones to catch up on the backstory... although at this point I have a pretty good picture of things.

Jean: Yeah, I guess you’re right about the whole punishment thing. Call me a cock-eyed optimist for thinking Alcides could literally get away with murder if he cleaned up his act. But hey, how cool an extension/sequel that would be, huh? If Alcides did clean up his act, start a new life, and then his past caught up with him once he became an upstanding citizen? Ooh, that’s a premise just rife with conflict, tears, guilt - all those good telenovela chestnuts.
Coincidentally, one of my guesses for how Hugo might survive the hanging did follow a similar track to what you mention, about Alcides redeeming himself by giving up his own life. I entertained the possibility that Alcides would visit Hugo in jail the night before his execution and offer to trade places with him. (He’d bribe the guard to let him enter the cell with Hugo, for one last brotherly hug).
Since Hugo would likely be too proud to accept such an offer, Alcides would convince him by assuring him that Hugo needed to think of Soledad and Aurora. And besides, his past sins made the switch truly deserved and he was ready to pay the consequences. Of course this would mean that Hugo would have to live the rest of his life as Alcides, but he already had experience with that. And, with all his assets passing to “Alcides” upon his death, Soledad and Aurora would actually enjoy a much better social standing with him as Alcides rather than as Hugo. (See how much I’ve changed, Hugo, that I’m willing to give this all up for love? )
But, in return, he would make Hugo promise to tell Soledad that he gave his life out of love for her, so that her daughter could grow up and know her father. By pulling the martyrdom card from Hugo’s hand & adding it to his own, he: 1) guilts Hugo into changing places with him; 2) is redeemed in Soledad’s eyes, and 3) pretty much ruins any chance that Soledad will ever take Hugo back because she’ll be so awed by what he did & will resent Hugo further for accepting the switch.)
The kicker to all this, of course, would be that before he made his visit to Hugo, he’d already have put in place a plan for someone to create a diversion at the hanging, providing him an opportunity to make a break for it. With his martial arts & sharpshooting skills, he’d get clear of the crowd in no time & hightail it to Vlad’s old hideaway. Under cover of night, he’d head for the nearest seaport and a ship bound for parts unknown. Once established in his new life, he would woo Soledad by mail. He’d pop back to San Marino now & then to make a withdrawal at Treasure R Us (he could always pass as his brother, if needed), and would eventually convince her to come away with him (probably after Lucas dies), thus making Hugo suffer the final insult.
So, should I submit my resume to Telemundo? ;-) I was trying to think like Alcides here & get maximum bang for the buck. But it all went down the drain when I realized he wouldn’t be smart enough to figure this all out fast enough, nor would he be willing to take the risk.

Just to clarify: The above was my vision of Alcides' plan, not what would have played out for certain. But, it had possibilities. Lord knows goofier things have happened in novelas.
Marie Celeste, is your (other) middle name Machiavelli? I had to read that plot twist several times to get things straight in my head. Yes, I think you should get your resume in the mail today!
Molly, I liked your idea of Marina stowing the cash in her bustle. Now we’ll have to listen for a bustle rustle. (Maybe she can even get into a tussle). Of course, the cash probably has to really be in the original carrying case so Hugo or Boris can identify it. But it was an amusing idea, none the less!
I had to laugh thinking that the Dumb Blonde (Rebeca) was the first one of her team to find Treasures R Us. If they are starting to knock off scoundrels at this rate it must be a sign that the show is slowly coming to an end. Nooo!

Marie Celeste- Loved your plot idea! Wow! But it just made me think that since Alcides came back we haven't had the brothers posing as each other. I think that will happen in some fashion - it's just too good an opportunity to miss with identical twins.
