Caray, Caray!

Tonight starts out with Ale telling Susana that if everything goes as planned, her life will be practically back to Normal. Susana wonders if perhaps Ale is being a bit too optimistic. Ale says not with that great list of clients she gave Rafa. He’ll be able to pay her this month what her owes her.

There’s a knock on the door and in walks Rafa, nervously shuffling his client list. He tells Ale that he has a little problem. He proceeds to tell her he has the feeling that his co-workers have stolen his list of clients.

Ale is beside herself, asking how this could have happened, how could you have been robbed? Rafa isn’t certain how it happened. Ale starts screaming and poor Susana leaves them alone.

Ale asks Rafa for an explanation of how this happened. Rafa explains that when he started calling the clients on the list, each client had already been notified by a Siglo sales person. Rafa hands Ale the list of clients with the corresponding list of Siglo employees who had talked with the clients.

Ale asks where he had the list, Rafa states it was on his desk. Ale cant believe that he would be such an idiot to leave the list out on his desk. Ale angrily tells Rafa to come with her, shoving the list of clients back at him and goes to confront the thieves.

Ale is demanding an explanation as to what happened with Rafa’s list of clients and wants to know who stole them. El Torico thinks she is using rather strong accusatory language. The general is also offended with the accusation. When Ale confronts each employee with their corresponding ”client” from Rafas’ list they all come up with their own story of how it was just a coincidence. That their clients, were the same people that was on Rafas’ list.

There is a brief scene at the butcher shop with Vicky screaming and making lots of noise, telling papa he just doesn’t understand her problems. She has to fight for her relationship with Rafa. Papa is trying to calm her down and finally agrees that she can go out with Rafa tonight. Vicky hugs and thanks papa and off she goes, as papa is smiling and thinking he has such a beautiful daughter and some poor guy (our Rafa) is lucky.

We now see Julieta Introducing herself to Ernesto. She tells him that Pepito referred her to him, as she has a great deal for him. Ernesto sits her down and inquires about this great deal she has. She pulls out the two bottles of whiskey she stole from Rafa and asks if he is interested in buying them from her. He states they have good labels and is wondering if they are the real thing.

She assures him they are the real thing, addressing him as Sir. He starts getting all fresh with her, takes her hand and tells her he is not an old man. (Creepy) He asks how much they cost and she says 1000 pesos. (I ‘m not really certain but I think they are a lot more expensive than that). He states He doesn’t know if he is mistaken or if she has bewitched him with her eyes but he believes her and will buy them from her. As well as 10 more. Julieta is pleased with this and agrees. He gives her a small prepayment.

Back at Siglo, Ale is still confronting the group about the list. They continue with their lies of how they all knew personally all these clients and didn’t get them from Rafas’ list. She almost traps one of them in their lies, but he is able to talk his way out of it.

Ale realizing defeat, sarcastically thanks them all and tells them to return to work They all slink away like the thieves that they are. Ale turns to leave telling Rafa to come with her shoving the list back at him. He asks what he should do with the list, she takes it from him starts crumbling up each page throwing them at him in disgust.

She stomps off to her office saying “this cant be happening,” with Rafa in close pursuit. Rafa says it appears to him that this office isn’t very secure. Ale calls him naive and an idiot along with other cutting insults. She even wonders if he ever took a course on how to be an idiot.

Rafa tries to explain, and Ale tells him to shut up she doesn’t want to hear any more excuses. Rafa asks what are they going to do now. Ale tells him she had a sure fire plan to pay off her debts, as she waves her bills in front off him, and says your on your way back to jail. Rafa looks puzzled and repeats “back to jail” Ale sarcastically replies, what do you expect a 5 star hotel. Rafa asks her if she thinks she’s being fair. Ales reply is “Fair?” pointing to her neck brace. Telling him once again that this whole mess is his fault.

Rafa pounds on the table stands up and finally gets a little backbone. He screams back at her if that’s what she wants to do, then send me back to jail, I will go their happily!! He tells her it is a lot better then here and with fewer thieves.

Ale is taken aback with Rafa’s just outburst, and asks him what he is insinuating. He tells her he’s not insinuating anything, and this place is full of robbers. He rants on even managing to mock her beloved Siglo anthem. He doesn’t know what its like at her house but at his house, people respect each others property and he doesn’t have to worry about hiding anything in fear of being robbed. (Didn’t
Julieta just take a couple of his fine bottles of whiskey to sell?)

Speaking of Julieta, she returns home, and Leonor is asking why she isn’t in school. Julieta lies to mom, and then tells her she has a surprise for her and hands her the money she got from her ill-gotten sales. Mom asks her where she got the money and Julieta lies that she got it from a job at school.

Leonor doesn’t quite believe her and tells her to not get herself in trouble. Julieta reassures her everything is okay. Lies some more, with Leonor still not convinced. At the end saying she didn’t want to say anything about her new job for fear that Rafa would get mad she was ignoring her studies. She tells Leonor to trust her, smiles asks for a high five and goes on her merry way. Leonor looks worried.

Back at the den of thieves. El Bebe tells everyone he is out-raged at what just went on. They agree that Ale was behaving poorly, and El Bebe says that’s not what He meant. He says each one of them has to live with your own conscience for what they did. Marino resents this statement defending their actions. El Bebe continues scolding them, and disgusted with their behavior excuses himself. And runs off to the bathroom.

Ale and Rafa walk back to the showroom. She tells them they will all put the uncomfortable topic of the client list behind them and that Rafa will have the clients that aren’t friends or relatives of any of them without any more problems. (I wasn’t really clear on exactly what she was saying her) “Are we all clear” she states, and scolds Jimenez on his posture as she leaves and tells them all to get back to work.

We have a cute little scene with Jorge and Rosario. He is distressed because he is so poor. He comes up with the idea of calling one of his old friends for a loan. Rosario reminds him he has been dead for about 5 years. “oh that’s why he didn’t come to my birthday party. “ They both continue discussing the gravity of their problems.

Jorge blames himself for all the problems. All of his bad investments resulting in an embargo, and having to deal with this vulgar administrator. We flash to said administrator at some club surrounded by many scantly dressed women, Stating all of this luxury is thanks to Jorge’s prosperous hacienda. (Slimeball)

Back to poor Jorge lamenting that worse of all is that poor Ale has to work so hard to help them out. She has to work so hard that she doesn’t even have time for her own recuperation. He laments on, that he is nothing but a poor old man in his last days and cant even help out his own daughter. (very touching and sad little scene).

Back at Siglo, Rafa tries to get the attention of a customer who walks by hurriedly. He is then approached by his co-workers assuring him that all of this was nothing but a misunderstanding and a series of coincidences. They even lie and tell him that before Lopez left, he was so fond of everyone their that he gave them a list of his clients which by the way just happened to be the same clients on the list Ale had given him. What a sea of coincidences.

OH Rafa you are naïve. They convince him to believe them and even invite him out to lunch. After all they don’t want any bad feeling or misunderstandings between them.

Jorge sneaks out of the house and gets into his car and is on a mission. He nearly runs over a pedestrian and almost hit’s a biker as he heads out for Siglo.

Rafa agrees to go to lunch with the group , but not before we have to put up with Vicky on the phone. She starts with the voice and the whine and demands a kiss before he hangs-up.

Rosario calls Ale and tells her Jorge has taken the car and left the house. Ale is very concerned about his safety. They both promise to call each other if they hear any thing about him. We flash to Jorge almost causing an accident out on the road.

Back to Vicky slamming a knife through a piece of meat complaining to her friend about Rafa. She rants and raves and her friend looks at her and simply says. If you weren’t such a rag you wouldn’t have to worry about what Rafa was doing. ( Well not exactly her words, but similar). She hands her a mirror and tells her to look into it. Vicky admires herself in the mirror, missing her friends point.

Vicky’s friend , at knife point, tells Vicky she’s acting like a tele-novela star, all screaming and mad . She tells her that she’s going to loose Rafa acting like that. She tells Vicky she will help her become the kind of women men want. The first thing to know is don’t scream!

The Siglo group, including Rafa are now at a restaurant. This whole scene was long and boring so will just get to the point. They all order tons of food they have no intention of paying for. They Rag on poor Rafa and then stiff him with the bill. Oh yea and when Rafa sits down, the chair breaks.

After everyone leaves and Rafa is left with the bill, he does try to make it right with the waitress. He offers her a couple of bottles of his finest.

Susana is informing Ale that her dad is out in the parking lot. Ale is relieved and starts to call Rosario. It finally sinks in that Jorge is at Siglo and she becomes alarmed that he might run into Rafa. She tells Susana to hide Rafa somewhere. Susana tells her not to worry, that Rafa is at lunch with the others.

Ale is relieved to hear this and for the first time is glad that they aren’t working. She scurries off to greet Jorge asking Susana to call Rosario and inform her that Jorge is safe.

Ale goes out to talk with Jorge. He tells her he feels bad about everything and just wants to do his part.
He wants to sell the car to help out with expenses. She pleads with him not to do this.

Okay now we have a little name game going on here, Jorge first gets Beltron’s name wrong as he strolls out to greet Jorge. He chides Beltran because Ale has to get up so early to work, Beltran mentions the show tonight(Igot a little lost here) and that Ale will be there . They continue chatting, and Beltran invites Jorge into his office.

Ale is still panicked that Jorge will run into Rafa and states that he was just leaving. Jorge looks a little confused . Baltran continues insisting Jorge stay.

So now we have the entire Siglo group arriving at the parking lot. As they approach Ale, she becomes more panicked and Jorge appears even more confused. Rafa is standing behind Ale and Jorge asks who is that.
One of the group introduces him “Rafel Medina”.

Now the ultimate name game with Jorge reaching into the depths of his memory, Looking at Rafa, stating I know your name, its familiar, I know I’ve heard it before. He asks him if he’s a boxer. Rafa shakes his head no. Ale is trying to convince him that he doesn’t know that name. Finally Jorge states “Rafal Medino ? Isn’t that the guy that crashed into you.”
And that’s where we end.
