Caray, Caray!

Damian says he needs Aurora to put the batteries in the exact spot in order to find out what Barbara is up to. This must be an idiomatic expression unknown to me.

FrEd meets with Father Bosco in the hallway at the hospital to get away from Erika. He tells the good father that they made a mistake. It wasn’t Artemio who beat up Steve. It was Camilo Elizalde. Father is shocked because he thinks that they were about to take someone’s life because of a mistake he made. Ed tells him that they have gotten a little more time. But, Ed says now La Hiena is dying to find out the connection between you and me. Father says there is something worse. I told Artemio Bravo that I would deliver your dead body to him.

AB tells Barb that she is late. She had a lot to do at the hacienda. He doesn’t accept that. She goes on to tell him that she’s about to deliver the Elizalde goods to him. He goes on about Father Bosco’s visit and her call to him. AB grabs her face and asks her what is going on? What happened? She says that the crazy Elizalde was about to leave. She also tells him that she has confided in Father Bosco in order to get his help. He wants to know if the father reported them to the police . She says, no, that would mean that Lili is dead. AB is still suspicious and still thinks that Eduardo Juarez is still alive. He wants to be convinced that he has nothing to worry about. If he gets further proof, Lili will be set free. The priest assured him that there were no ashes. What, she says. He tells her that Bosco buried the body where it would not be disturbed. He’ll exchange the body for Lili.

Ed continues his conversation with Father Bosco. He realizes that Artemio Bravo knows that Soledad’s son returned for justice on behalf of his mother. Bosco says that Artemio Bravo no longer believes the suicide story. The only thing that saved the day was Barb’s call. Then he drops the bomb about delivering Eduardo’s body to Artemio Bravo. He wants Ed to leave. Ed says he’s not going anywhere until Lili is free. Ed wants to distract AB and get Lili out. Father asks if they can get Barb to help. Ed says , no, because she’s just another tool of Artemio Bravo.

Lili cries a perfect glycerine tear all alone in her bedroom.

AB says that he’s inclined to deliver Lili’s dead body to the priest. What a shame, he says that she betrayed him. He will never forgive her nor anyone else who does that. Nobody gets to know his secrets. He heads for Barb. She understands. Speaking frankly – what you did to Montserrat, I’m inclined to do to her daughter.

Meanwhile, Fer shows up at the police station. She says she wants to file an assault complaint against Camilo Elizalde on behalf of a friend.

Meanwhile, dopey Damian parks his car in a public square and calls Barb. He tells her he’s at the place. She can’t get there because of traffic. Meanwhile security has him under surveillance. A police officer with a dog finds something in the trunk of his car. No doubt the explosives he bought for Barb. Damian gets out and sits on the hood. Police cars with officers in full battle dress grab him and place him under arrest. A frightened Damian is taken away.

At the hospital, Erika hangs all over Ed. She is sorry that Lovely’s uncle had a heart attack. Ed says he’s hanging on. She says everything will be OK. He just wants a miracle. He realizes that Lovely is gone. Ed calls Lovely who is running down the street crying. Out of character, Lovely is wearing a frumpy plaid shirt. She says she is going to do what she should have done a long time ago. Franco tries to get her to change her mind.

We watch a robot remove the bag of explosives from Damian’s car. Damian is identified and reported as a terrorist. Explosives removal mission is a success. We are impressed.

Fer reviews the complaint. FrEd calls her and asks her about Camilo. She thinks Cam is probably in his apartment that is located near Lactos. He tells her about Lovely who has just arrived at the apartment. Ed gets a paper from the nurse and writes down Camilo’s address. Erika approaches and asks to borrow his cell phone. She asks if something is wrong. He says, no. Make your call. Of course she sees that he was just talking to Fernanda.

Lovely walks in and flirts with the janitor. She asks him not to call Camilo because she’s going to surprise him. She even has the key to the apartment.

Ed whispers something in Padre’s ear and tries to leave. He has to shrug off Erika at least three times. She wants to go with him. Finally, he says no. You can wait here with Father Bosco.

Camilo emerges from the bathroom to a rap tune and gets himself dressed. Enter Lovely. She skulks around the apartment but unfortunately Camilo exits the bedroom while her back is turned. He looks uglier than usual.

Erika is now talking to mommy and telling her that she’s moving up her wedding date. Her mother says that is not possible. The invitations are out, everything is set. Erika is desperate. Her mother wants to know what is going on. Erika says her wedding is in danger and she wants to get married no matter what.

The argument between Lovely and Camilo gets physical. He’s ready to throw hot coffee at her and she lunges at him. He grabs her and tells her she’ll never laugh at him again. Now you’ll find out what happens to someone who crosses Camilo Elizalde’s path. He rips off her blouse. So now we know why she was out of uniform. She kicks him and then grabs a knife from a drawer. He fights for it. She kicks him again and stabs his hand. He looks at her in horror.

Pris asks Anibal if he knows what happened. She tells him about Damian.

Lovely now has the knife at Camilo’s throat. You’re going to get what you deserve for all the bad things you have done. I have nothing to lose because you have killed the only beautiful and clean thing in my life. He screams, no. She says she doesn’t care if she’s dead or alive. He begs her. I’m not Lovely, I’m Venus, and I have been a working woman all my life, and she’ll gladly die knowing that he’s dead.

Lovely tells Camilo that Steve isn’t going to die alone – you’re going with him. You have to pay because you are a coward.

Franco is stuck in traffic. He has somehow changed into a sport shirt. Barb calls and tells him that she has to see him immediately. He apologizes and tells her he has something else to do first. She tells him that Artemio Bravo plans to kill Lili.

Anibal is trying to find out more information about Damian. He’s on hold. Pris asks him if he he’s involved with Damian. Anibal denies that. Ani sends his regards to Comandante Lazoyo. He tells Pris that Damian has been arrested and is accused of terrorism and that the police found explosives in his car. So, she says, the TV reports are true. You swear you had nothing to do with this. He swears. Ani thinks this is good news because this will silence Vlad.

Lovely still has the knife to Cam’s throat. She wants him to die slowly, one drop of blood at a time. She keeps plunging the knife further into his throat. Fer and the janitor arrive. Fer begs her to stop. Fer says she didn’t come to help her brother, but that she came for you, Lovely. Franco called her and she gave him the address. She knows that what Camilo did is very serious. Two ploice officers enter the apartment.

Damian curses the Hiena. Jacobo says, wait a miniute. Jacoba says the most serious charges are the possession and transportation of explosives, etc. That won’t set you free. You’re sunk. Damian says he’s going to turn Barb in to the police.

Damian tells Jacobo to find Barbara to get him out of this. Jacobo wants to know what he is going to say to Dam’s mother. Tell mom that this all was a mistake and that he’ll prove his innocence and that you saw me screaming and crying.

Mom meanwhile hears the news on TV and can’t believe that her beloved son is in this trouble.

Jacobo, says Damian, go to my apartment, look in my bureau and get the video camera because there is a treasure inside. And this treasure will yield a lot of money for us. (I thought he said jewels???)

Fer is still begging Lovely to drop the knife while the police look on helplessly. She tells Lovely that they are going to take Camilo away. Lovely doesn’t believe her. She’ll take her own justice. Fer continues to beg her and that if you kill him, you will be arrested. Finally, Fer pulls Lovely’s arm away from Camilo who cries and screams at her. He calls his sister a golfa and demands that they arrest Lovely. The police drag him out kicking and screaming. Franco finally arrives and comforts Lovely.

Erika continues her conversation with mom who tells her the church isn’t ready. She called the bishop who told her to talk to Father Bosco and ask him to change the wedding date. Erika is delighted. Bosco walks in and is greeted with the good news that she and Franco can get married in his parish. Bosco is visibly shaken and stirred.

Fer tries to calm Lovely down. Franco has also arrived wearing jeans and a t-shirt and tells her that Steve’s condition is the same. He wants her to go back to the hospital and that he has to go talk to Barbara. He’ll call Fer later.

Father Bosco says that the bishop sent him a letter permitting him to perform the marriage. Bosco wants to know what is the hurry. Erika makes up a lame excuse. The important thing is her marriage to Franco, not the big party. Bosco agrees to perform the marriage. It’s an order from the bishop.

The nurse comes out asking for Steve’s family.

Jacobo is at Damian’s apartment and finds Vlad’s DNA profile. He wonders what it means.

Franco has changed back into his business suit and arrives at Lactos. Gardenia gives him the love stare while Flor calls Bab. Gardenia rubs up against Franco as he passes by. Flor asks her what the heck she is doing. I can look, can’t I. But not that way says Flor.

Barb wants to know what game Franco’s playing. Tell me why you sent Padre Bosco to see Artemio.

Erika and the nurse go to Steve’s room.

Barb remarks that you (Franco) know about Artemio Bravo’s past. Yes, he admits, I know it. What, she says, does Father Bosco have to do with it. At first, he says, nothing, but he’s very familiar with the region he assumed he knew the secret. When I explained to him that he could help free Lili, Father agreed to deal directly with Artemio Bravo in exchange for their silence if AB would free Lili. Barb says that’s absurd. Artemio knows that someone has Ana Gregoria’s diary.

She warns Franco that Artemio thinks it’s him. Franco says that he will deliver the diary to Gonzalo if anything happens to Father Bosco and that he will tell Gonzo everything that has been going on between Barb and Artemio Bravo. Now do you see the difference. Barb has an ah, hah moment.

The nurse tells Erika to talk to Steve. Erika calls out his name and says, it’s me Erika. Can you hear me? Steve shakes his head, yes and says, Erika. She cries a tear of joy because he knows her.

As you can see, Barbara, if anything happens to either Lili or Father Bosco, Artemio Bravo will feel the consequences of all the years of suffering he has caused. He will face the law for all his atrocities. She says wait a minute. Why did you ask me to call the priest at AB’s. Because, he says he realized that AB wasn’t responsible for the assault on Steve. You didn’t trust me and tell me that. She then lays a few cards of her own on the table. She has no doubt that AB will kill (liquidar) Liliana. She then says that if you have the diary, there is one other person who her boss fears and who he doesn’t believe is dead. The boy who has been gone 15 years and who has every reason to get rid of Artemio. That person will have complete control over AB. What’s his name says Franco. Eduardo Juarez, son of Soledad.

Ani reports to Gonzo that Camilo is under arrest. Rays of light emerge from Gonzo’s head. And, you know what else? The person who turned him in is none other than your daughter, Fernanda.

End of chapter.
