Caray, Caray!

From inside the confessional, DB listens to Marisela and Santos saying how much they love each other and then she sees them kissing. She cocks her gun.

Antonio carries Cecilia into his bedroom and babbles about what happened in Progresso until Cecilia points out that Don Encarnacíon is in his bed.

In a very funny scene, the Inspector asks Pernalete and Mujica why they never investigated any of DB's crimes. They hem and haw and make excuses. He says that it appears that the whole town is protecting DB and asks for an explanation.

Watching Santos kiss Marisela, DB flashes back to kissing Asdrúbal. She jumps out of the confessional points her gun at Marisela and Santos and calls them traitors.

The Inspector asks if Mujica and Pernalete were aware of DB's crimes. They deny it. The Inspector points out that DB is Federica's godmother. Pernalete says that DB baptized her as a favor since Federica was an ugly, spoiled child that no one else wanted anything to do with. When the Inspector asks if DB did any favors for Mujica, he angrily protests that he never took any bribes.

Cecilia, Antonio and DE sit down to eat as a family.

Marisela tells DB to go ahead and shoot them. She says DB will only need one bullet because she will never be separated from Santos.

DB lowers her gun and says that she can't kill them. She says that she will leave Santos and Marisela in peace. She leaves the church and steals a car. Marisela tells Santos that he has to help DB get away. Santos asks if Marisela wants DB to go free so she can continue to kill people. Marisela replies that DB's vengeance is finished she won't kill again. She urges him to help DB get away. Santos agrees.

DB abandons the car she stole and goes to El Miedo on foot. Santos takes DB's money and goes after her. DB writes her last wishes in a letter to Marisela. She says that she is leaving everything to Marisela. She says that she would rather die than have anyone see her humiliated and asking for forgiveness or mercy. Eustaquia's ghost appears to say that DB couldn't shoot Marisela because finally she realizes that she loves her daughter.

DB says that she will leave Marisela a clear field with Santos. DB hears Lorenzo laughing at her and then Santos shows up.

Santos tells DB to get away before the police show up. He says that situation hurts him, too and DB asks how. Santos says that it hurts him that DB is suffering and he can't make her happy. He says that it hurts him deeply that his love wasn't enough to heal her wounds; that their child wasn't born and that he had to leave her to save himself from the abyss. DB slaps him. She says that he is a miserable bastard and asks how he could go away with Marisela. Santos agrees that he is whatever DB wants to call him but she should get moving before the police come.

Antonio, Cecilia and DE decide to return to Progresso the next day.

DB asks Santos why he doing this.

The police come to search Altamira.

DB demands to know why Santos is helping her. She asks if he has feelings for her. He says that he doesn't know. DB says that Santos loves her. Santos admits it but says that he can't be with her because she is an abyss while Marisela is his salvation and his light. DB says that Santos loves both of them and Santos doesn't deny it.

The Inspector is heading towards El Miedo.

Mujica asks Federica to marry him. She accepts him much to Josefa' s disgust.

Santos tells DB that they have to stop this conversation. She has to escape. DB says that they are out of time. She doesn't even have the consolation of hope. She tells him about the good-bye letter she wrote leaving everything to Marisela. She tells him to have the paper legalized after she is gone and to make Altamira one estate (again). She asks Santos what to do with the love she still has inside her.

Antonio says that he won't call Cecilia his butterfly (mariposa) any more. He will call her his 'sweet bee ('abejita dulce') because she conquered DE with her sweetness. Cecilia says that DE is a good person ('un pan de dios,' literally, 'bread of god') and was just terribly hurt by his daughter's death. They are interrupted by a call for Antonio from the Minister of the Interior.

DB tells Santos that he is her only love. She only wanted to be good because of him. Santos tells her to get moving because the police are coming. DB says how much she loves Santos and that she will love him until the last day of her life. She hugs him and Santos begs her to leave. She asks him to love her daughter and take care of her.

Antonio asks the Minister to recall the Inspector since the drug trafficking ring has been broken up. The Minister agrees.

The Inspector arrests Santos for helping DB to escape.

DB has escaped from El Miedo and is sitting under a tree. She says that all that she loves and everything that makes her what she is is in the llanos. This is where she buried her dead and gave birth to her daughter. She says that deep in her heart there has always been a healthy part and that part has been Marisela's and that is what saved her. That part made DB separate herself from Marisela so she could grow up to be a good person. DB says that it's a beautiful new day - her last day in the Arauca. She frees Cabos Blancos (with some difficulty).
