Caray, Caray!

[Sorry that this is late and there are no photos. I was at a concert last night and didn't get back until late.]

Marisela tells Gonzalo that that he is the thief and the photos don't belong to him. He overpowers hers and says that everything she said about marrying him was a lie. Marisela says that it is true. She could never love a jerk like him. She says that Gonzalo disgusts her. Gonzalo takes the pictures back and slaps Marisela. Marisela tells Gonzalo to go ahead and hit her. She isn't afraid of him. Hitting women is all he knows how to do but when a man like Santos shows up, he runs away like a little girl. Gonzalo hits her again and tells her not to mention Santos. Marisela tells Gonzalo that Santos is a man, not a coward like him and that is why she has never stopped loving Santos. Gonzalo hits her again.

DB tells Santos that all she wants from him is the love they had before. "Or it wasn't love?" she asks him. Santos says that he doesn't know. What he felt for her was a violent passion that he couldn't resist but there was nothing else. DB accuses him of never having stopped thinking about Marisela and Santos admits that might have been part of it. He tells her that there are other men in the world; she could start over somewhere else. DB says that besides El Miedo and him, she has nothing. Santos reminds her that she has a daughter that needs her. A daughter she is sacrificing for a man who doesn't love her.

Cecilia tells Don Encarnación to stop slandering her and Antonio. She says that Lucía died because she was brave. She knew she would die young and wanted to leave a daughter for DE to remember her by. She tells him that the baby needs her milk and that Lucía herself asked Cecilia to take care of her. Cecilia tells DE that the only person he is hurting is the baby and that he will regret what he is doing. DE doesn't care. He orders Cecilia to be thrown out of the hospital.

Marisela tells Gonzalo that she knows everything about his dealings with Sapo. He says that she just signed her death warrant. She says that Santos and DB know, too. Gonzalo hits her again.

DB tells Santos that he must love her since he has stood up for her so many times. Santos replies that she is an unforgettable woman and he'll always be there if she needs him. DB denies that she needs Santos to rescue her. She says that Marisela knows that DB and Santos are in danger and she is doing this for both of them. She says that she is proud of her daughter and in spite of what Santos thinks, she loves Marisela. But when she thinks about Santos and Marisela together, she can't help but wanting to kill Marisela because she is a woman before she is a mother. Once again Santos asks DB to forgive him and says that he has no right to reproach her. He tells her that he is going to Marisela. She needs him. DB says that she needs him, too but Santos says that is a lie. She has always done things on her own. She is unique. She says that he is giving her a compliment as a consolation prize. He says that he is just saying what he thinks. When he is gone, DB says to herself that she has always done things alone but it never weighed as heavily on her then as it does now.

Gonzalo tells Marisela that she can't leave the room alive. Marisela says that if she dies, everyone will know it was him. He hits her again and leaves telling the guards who appeared to be listening outside that they must not let Marisela out no matter what she says.

Cecilia is worried about Marisela and Genoveva says that she will go and talk to her.

While Santos is preparing to go to San Fernando, he tells Pajarote to check up on Los Mondragón. They are #1 on his list of suspects for Carmelito's killing.

DB tells Melquíades that Carmelito's death made Santos crazy with rage in a way she had never seen before. She wants to find out if León was the killer and turn him in before that anger is directed at her. She says that she has tricks for making León confess.

Gervasia is inconsolable and Melesio conforts her by saying time is her friend. The pain will get less.

León makes another try at killing María Nieves but Altagracia drives him away with her gun.

Geno comes to the Government House looking for Marisela and Gonzalo has the guards throw her out forcibly. She reports on what happened to Cecilia. Cecilia is crazy with worry and says that she will send a telegram to Santos in the morning. At dawn, Cecilia is about to leave to send the telegram when Santos appears.

Gervasia and Pajarote are in Progresso to see MN when they run into León in the street. Gervasia attacks him screaming that he killed her husband.

Gonzalo is pacing and telling himself that he has to kill Marisela but he can't. He gets a call from Sapo and tells him that they have to talk.

Gervasia calls León a murderer in front of everyone in the street. He slinks off.

A maid brings Marisela breakfast and finds her unconscious on the floor. Marisela asks for help.

Santos tries to get into the Government House but he is turned away. He sees the maid signal to him. The maid finds Santos and tells him that Marisela is locked up and that the Governor beat her up.

Altagracia tells Gervasia and Pajarote about Tigre's appearance at the doctor's office and the mysterious man she shot at the night before. Pajarote says that he will stay with Altagracia that night.

Santos gets Antonio's gun from Cecilia.

Marisela demands to be let out of the room. She tells that guards that what they are doing is a crime. They agree but they are afraid of the Governor.

DB flirts with León and asks her to come to her room. He falls for it and tells Tigre to get ready to call him boss.

The Land title inspector gets photos of Gonzalo coming to see Sapo. He says that Santos was right and this job will be easier than he thought. [The Land Title Inspector who doesn't know the area has found a place where he can see and take pictures of Sapo's runway from a car!]

Marisela begs to be let out of the room. The guards are uncomfortable but they say that they can't help her.

Gonzalo tells Sapo about what Marisela told him and says that he has to kill DB, Santos and Marisela. Sapo says that he will take care of DB and Santos but Gonzalo has to kill Marisela himself. Gonzalo says that he can't kill her, he will be blamed. Sapo says that it is time he got his hands dirty like the rest of them. He asks if Gonzalo is too squeamish to kill Marisela.

DB makes Leon take off his clothes. He says that DB should do the same but she wants to talk first. She gets her gun out and asks what he did with the money he stole from Carmelito.

Santos sneaks into the Government House, knocks out and ties up the guards. He burst into the room where Marisela is. She embraces him saying, "Santos, you came for me!"
