Caray, Caray!

* Guilléns' flat
Fausto learns from Gaby that a stranger was looking for a man called Santiago Guzman. He looks harassed and runs out of the room leaving a very wondering girl behind. In his bedroom he collapses. Quakingly pulls a photo out of his pocket: it's his Marta who looked exactly like Gabriela. Fausto cries heartbreakingly and mutters that he misses her badly.

* prison
Basketball time on the yard. Marcos and Juan José wearing their wife-beater shirts discuss Gregorio. Marcos whines about his aching hand (I can't blame him for that) and wants to take revenge on the old man. JJ says that it was an accident, and anyway, Marcos shouldn't pay attention to Greg since 1. he's insane, 2. he killed two men. Naturally his advice goes in at one ear and out at the other. Marcos swear that he'll cure Gandalf's madness by giving him a huge beating.

* Guilléns' flat
The girl leave for work, Gaby worries about being fired. Daddy isn't at home, he left and acted strangely. He's always strange, says Julieta.

* prison
Gregorio is restless and keeps JJ awake as well. JJ joins him on the lower bed and the jailbirds talk about their future. Greg promises that after his liberation he'll find a lawyer to get Juan José out of the prison. And they'll have a tremendous amount of money! JJ politely smiles. You don't believe a word I say, do you? No, says the big guy. To be honest your story sounds like a movie. Gregorio's eyes kindle: exactly, it was like a movie! We flashback to the early 1900s and the old swashbuckler tells us the adventurous and bloody tale of a shamelessly huge amount of golden bars and the baddies who killed it's owner and later each other.


The killers buried the treasure and the last of them drew a map of the whereabouts of the gold. Later the letter was found in an old book in a church by two historians. JJ asks if they were the guys Greg killed. Gandalf continues the story: the men did a lot of research and discovered the possible location of the gold... Which was at his estate. They visited him and offered to give him a fair share of the treasure if he permited them to poke around his propriety. But when they found the spoils Gregorio coldbloodly shooted the happy boyz. To his misfortune, a servant witnessed the murder and called the police. Suddenly Greg stops being so friendly and threatens JJ: I can help you out of here but I can also kill you if you tell anyone what I said, capisci?


* restaurant
Gaby is nervously converses with Julieta. David (looking angry as usual) finally drops in, and the future lovebirds exchange heated looks. She timidly asks him if he'll fire her. David briefly, strictly says no. He just wants her to that know he didn't take liberties with her in her former workplace therefore the slap she gave him was unfair. It was Roberto, one of the idiots who accompanied him. Gaby is ashamed and still afraid of him. David takes pity on her and asks what her name is. Gabriela Guillén. The boy smiles and becomes all friendly, and orders a glass of vodka. Gaby is relieved and smiles back at him.


The Don and Yolanda arrive. When Yolanda notices Gaby she freezes like in New York in The Day After Tomorrow. Adolfo, did you see that waitress? Doesn't she look like Marta? Adolfo doesn't really care about the girl but notices David and gets angry. In the camera room he call Carlos to account for letting David into restaurant. Carlos objects: for God's sake, he's also an owner, how on Earth could I prohibit him from coming here.


Yolanda calls Gaby and fires tons of questions of her: name, family, mom, dad, their names, sister, when did your mom die, and so on. Although her curiosity is quite rude, Gaby obediently answers her. In the camera room David and Adolfo are play the good old "who's the alpha male game. This is my territory, boy, and I hate your presence here - I hate you, blah, blah, blah. As the argument heats Adolfo pulls a gun out and says him to get out of there or he'll kill him. But - and here comes my favourite part - Gabriel snatches the weapon out of his hand like Adolfo was just a naughty 8-years old boy. Awesome. He says he'd be interested if Adolfo even had permission to carry a gun then he leaves the room. This boy is cool, I like him. Adolfo's facial muscles start twitching and he theatralically tells Carlos that he'll kill David. Maybe next time you should try to glue the gun to your hand.

* Zárate estate
Next day Carlos visits Roberto in their home. Roberto less than thrilled about his presence since he was going to have lunch with Alejandra. Carlos asks him to pay back the money he owes. Oops. Roberto is all "I can't, I can't" but Moustache doesn't care about his bullshit excuses. Well, maybe Alejandra's wealthy uncle will be the solution of this situation. Carlos learns that Ale is David's cousin. The maid announces that a that a young lady called Elsa is looking for her father. Elsa walks in and Carlos, like every other guy in town hurries to introduce himself to the pretty girl.


* elegant designer office
Alejandra and her co-worker/friend (Hermina aka Mina) talk about Roberto. Mina would like to know if Ale wants to stop working after getting married. Of course not, objects the girl intensely. She worked and sacrificed a lot for that office, she even sold her car! Don't you love him, asks Mina warily. Ale sighs, she doesn't know, she was expecting something else and isn't sure about her own feelings. The girls change the topic and begin to talk about business.


* Guilléns'
Fausto arrives home carrying paper boxes and he's very pleased with himself. Gaby and Julieta ask him what he is doing. We'll move out, says cheerfully. Come on, it will be fun, he found a more comfortable flat. The girls are shocked.


* Zárate estate
Salomón smiles at Elsa (that smile makes me want to hit him in the face with a shovel, kudos to the actor) and tells her that he will lend her money. Elsa is grateful and says she will pay the loan back in a year. No, no, no, you've got six months, girl. Ooor... Salomón draws near to her and starts the "if you're good to me, baby" speech. Elsa objects, she asked him for loan because she needed money but if he misunderstands her motions maybe they should forget the transaction. Suddenly Salomón becomes cold and professional and pushes the paper under her nose. Okay, sign it here. Viewerville shouts: don't sign it, stupid kid! But she does. Oh, no.

* Alejandra's office
Ale greets Robertito with an unwilling kiss and bombs her idea: why don't they wait with the wedding for few months? Roberto's smile shatters as he visions the money he wanted so much flying away. You don't love me, do you? I do, I do, but I just started to run this business, I have to finish university, et cetera, et cetera. Rob comes up with an awesomely lame story: his father is sick and wants to have grandkids. If he doesn't get married soon he'll disinherit him. Wow. Ale gets angry. Why don't you look for a girlfriend who's already 8 months pregnant? I think I'm going to like her much, too.

* prison workshop
Juan José and Greg talk about the treasure, que sorpresa. Gregorio's lines (my precious, my precious, my precious gold!), JJ's lines (I like you old murderer and I'm very polite, but sorry, I won't buy your fairytale). Marcos sneaks in and mocks them, he doesn't understand how Juan can stand the crazy geezer. Gandalf grabs the hammer again and threatens him. JJ stops them from killing each other and leads Greg away. Marcos secretly picks up a chisel from the table.

* Genovés’ house
Mario plans to visit Fausto and the doctor. He bumps into David who claims him to break the partnership with the Ávila jerks. I can't do that, son. Mario's lines, David's lines.

* prison
Doña Piedad is sitting in the visitor's room. Juan José surprises her from the back with a kiss. They're cute. She tells him that Elsa helped her so much, sent her to a doctor and bought her medicines and she doesn't accept any money. She's such a good girl, says Piedad. Yes, such a good girl, echoes JJ. Piedad would be happy if they get married one day. JJ blushes, first, he's a jailbird and would never dare to ask her to be his wife, second, his feelings for her are brotherly. Sorry, girl, life sucks. I should've titled this episode as "Everyone except Juan José wants to jump Elsa's bones". Elsa drops in and gleefully tells him that her boss lent him money and she wants to help both JJ and Marcos. JJ politely refuses her offer. Elsa changes the subject: I'd like your Mama to move into my flat. Wow, that's great! JJ is grateful and the ladies are happy.


* Guilléns'
Fausto/Santiago opens the door and meets Asunción. He says he doesn't want to buy books and tries to shut the door, but Asunción is much stronger than him. Mario walks in and calls him Sr. Guzmán. Fausto is frightened. You remember me, don't you. I'm Mario Genovés. Fausto stutters that he doesn't know who his visitor is, he doesn't know any Santiago Guzmán or Marta! Mario calms him down: Stop this nonsense! Look, he doesn't want to cause him any trouble. What Fausto did to Marta should lie on his conscience. Fausto breaks and shakily sits on the coach. Mario tells him that he came to talk about his daughter. What? How dare you? Marta was already pregnant when you left her! I married her and became the father of his child, period. Mario admits regretfully that he didn't know she was carrying a child and only wants his daughter to know the truth. He would support her financially. Fausto explodes, oh no, she doesn't need your money! He begs Mario to leave them alone. And by the way, he didn't kill Marta! Now Mario starts begging: he just wants to reconcile with his child. He gives Fausto his telephone number then leaves. Fausto is agonizing.


* Elsa's pink flat
Doña Piedad moves in, and she loves her new home. Elsa has to do the shopping. Piedad offers her to bring some clothes to a customer of Elsa. In the meantime Alejandra gets into a taxi. The chauffeur drives way too fast.


* hospital
House M.D. tells Mario that he has brain tumor. Mario is appalled. Is it operable? No, it isn't. How much time I have left? Poco, muy poco.

* street
Piedad gets on a bus. The driver of the bus must've bought his license on the black market since he drives like a madmen. The passangers freak out. Alejandra's taxi driver answers his phone and yes, doesn't notice the other vehicle. The bus crashes to a wall. Nooo.

Here is a list of events from episode 3 posted earlier:
---------------
Santiago weeps in private about his dead wife, Márta, and how bitterly he misses her. This man did not kill the woman, for sure.

Juan Jose is having trouble convincing Marcos that Gregorio is a crazy old guy, that the attack was an accident and better leave him alone. There will be more trouble.

Gregorio likes Juan Jose, promises to get him out with a good lawyer and again that he will give him a job and they'll have a good time.

In a fascinating flashback, he describes how the treasure was originally stolen and buried on his property and how he killed the two guys he permitted to dig it up. So Juan Jose knows the treasure is real.

Gabriela is pleasantly surprised to hear from David she won't be fired -- and that it was Roberto who pulled on her corset laces.

Yolanda is astounded to see in Gabriela someone that looks exactly like her old friend, Márta. Yolanda questions her briefly about her personal situation to confirm her suspicions.

Adolfo is so angry to see David in the restaurant, he takes him aside in the office and pulls a gun on him (!) to make his point that he doesn't want him around; but David disarms him pitifully easy. Adolfo swears privately he'll kill him.

Roberto refuses to pay back Carlos some money he apparently owes him, and Carlos is tired of supporting Roberto. He learns that David and Alejandra are cousins. Elsa was told to meet Salomon at home; he isn't there, but Carlos meets Elsa this way.

Alejandra tells Mina she has no idea why she's with Roberto. They are awaiting a crucial contract for their architecture firm.

Santiago comes home with packing boxes and upsets Gabriela trying to move yet again.

Salomon gives Elsa her check while mashing on her; she refuses unless there's no funny business, but she signs when he relents, temporarily, I assume.

For my money, Salomon is the guy who killed both women in the murders. Roberto is following in his footsteps, too.

Roberto presses Alejandra to get married, and she doesn't want to set a date yet; she claims her business needs her, which is true. But clearly she's not that fond of him. He claims his dad will disinherit him without an heir soon, and this really sets Alejandra off. She's fed up with him.

Mario terrifies Santiago by visiting him at home. He doesn't care about the murder; Mario only wants to have a relationship with Gabriela, which enrages Santiago. Mario claims Marta didn't tell him she was pregnant.

Mario hears from the doctor that he has a brain tumor with very little time to live.

For the cliffhanger, Piedad moves in with Elsa and offers to do her a delivery favor. She gets on a microbus with a package of clothes for Elsa's customer, but is headed for a big wreck.
