Caray, Caray!

...or: Smeagol enters the tunnel

* Leo shows up in the Genovés villa to ask more inconvenient questions from Mario. David quickly says his father isn't at home but they can talk in the hall, and quietly asks Gabriela to tell Mario he mustn't leave the study.

Leonardo in his accustomed calm "the hound hunts down its prey" manner tells David the story of the strangled dancer, and mentions that both Adolfo Ávila and Mario Genovés were involved in the crime. David fiercely protests that his dad has nothing to do with Marta Sardíval! Yeah, Gaby said she'd heard Adolfo talking about that woman but she's wrong! He tries to get rid of Leo, but the detective hasn't finished yet. The police suspects Adolfo Ávila wanted to smuggle diamonds hidden in a pair of shoes... the shoes he gave to David's wife. David's suddenly all ears. Leo asks about the photos but unfortunately they're lost. All of them? What about the one Carlos Ávila kept in his office? David is surprised, how does Leo know about that? From Fausto Guillén. Hmm. David repeats they don't have the photos anymore. The detective thinks David and his father don't want to collaborate with the police, and what is more, he suspects they don't tell him the truth. Anyway. He would like to talk with Gab. David the Jealous asks if Leo wishes to interrogate Gaby, too. No. Then good bye, Senor, they're done. For the time being, adds Leonardo. In the study David asks Fausto if he talked about the shoes to Leonardo, but he denies it. Then it must've been her, says David.



* Caramelo tells Juan José she's going to have lunch with Elsa! For a chance JJ has no problem with it, on the contrary, he asks Asunción to give her a letter.

* Newly homeless Bertha calls her Sugar Daddy to ask for a private appointment. Alejandra starts to worry about her and asks her if she really stole that photo. No, she didn't!

* David's worried sick because of the shoes and Leonardo's visits, and he's not fond of playing the idiot either. He's afraid Gaby might look for Leonardo again to explain her everything. Fausto protests: come on, boy, my daughter is a decent girl! Yes, David knows that, but Leonardo does like her! Fausto asks him to let him talk with Gaby first. Okay. A few minutes later it's Gaby, who opens her heart to SantiMario. She thinks everything that happened lately was her fault, she was the one who talked about Marta to Leo. Oh... And is that true that David isn't Mario son? Because Adolfo told her so. Yes, it's true. And is this mysterious Marta David's mother? What? No! SantiMario swears he doesn't know any Marta, and by the way David already knows he isn't his father. Does Gaby feel calmer now? Yes. Great.

* Caramelo tells Elsa a kid always tries to bully her in school because she has no parents. What if Elsa was her mom? Sorry, sweetie, she doesn't know. By the way, JJ send her a letter! Caramelo asks her to read it right there, and Elsa obeys. "Elsa. I'd like to apologize..." Suddenly she becomes silent and puts it back into her bag.



* Ramón and Leo learn another interesting facts about the Guillén family: Santiago changed not only his name but his daughters', too. Gabriela's original name is Marta and Julieta was Elena. Santiago and Marta got married in 1983, and after some calculation Leonardo realizes that Marta was pregnant at the wedding! Ramón says it isn't unusual, but Leo's "little grey cells" think otherwise. What if she was carrying someone else's child? Then Faustiago was jealous for reason.

* At her workplace Elsa reads the letter again.

"I'd like to apologize because I was rude to you. You don't deserve to being treated like that. You're a very pretty, generous woman with a heart of gold. I will never forget how you treated me while I was in prison, and how you took care of my mom while I couldn't do that. And that's why, because you're so good I'd like you to give me an opportunity to get closer to, to explain my behaviour and to offer you my sincere friendship. This is all ask from you. I wish you would listen to me for a moment, and if you don't want to see my anymore I'll understand and I'll never bother you again.
Juan José"

She's very touched by JJ's words and a smile of hope lights up her face. In a bar JJ is nervously waiting for Elsa and when she shows up he confesses he was afraid she wouldn't come. He thought she didn't want meet him ever again. Yes, that's true but when she was reading the letter she remembered Piedad who definitely wouldn't want them to be angry at each other. It's true. JJ repeats how grateful he is for everything she did for him. He realized he has no right to boss her around or to tell her who she's allowed to spend her time with. If she thinks Mauricio Medina is the man who'll make her happy he's fine with that, but she needs to know she can count on him forever. Como dos hermanos. (Like brother and sister.) Elsa's smile freezes, this didn't sound like the speech she was expecting.



* Julieta enthusiastically informs Gaby of Bertha's departure, and David confirms it.

* Bertha arrives at the Ávila condo, and while Carlos is eavesdropping, she tells the old rascal that hell brake loose when the last photo disappeared. Anyway, why is that damned picture so important? Adolfo promises (for the 100th time) to tell her later, and generously offers her an apartment in one of his hotels.



* Leonardo, who was supposed to meet Bertha that day, calls her at the Genovés villa. David orders Susana to tell him she doesn't live there anymore, then asks his wife not to meet Leo again.

* Adolfo shows Bertha her new, beautiful home. The persistent girl asks him again about the photos, and playfully warns him she's not a tonta (stupid woman). Adolfo smiles at her and says he'd like to get known of her better. Fine! Bertha says she's a very ambitious woman and she'd do anything to gain money. Adolfo thinks if she keeps behaving likes that she'll get everything she wants and she'll be richer than David. Oh, by the way, he has more money than Mario... Wink, wink. *Viewerville: yuck*



* In the tunnel house Fausto and his son-in-law discuss Gabriela again. The only thing he told her is that David isn't Mario's son. Blondie asks him if he knew Leonardo and Bertha were supposed to have lunch together. After he leaves Abelardo asks Fausto what happened to David. *Viewerville: this time* Oh, he's jealous at Leonardo Faidella. The men laugh. However, the Bertha-Leonardo relationship makes Fausto worried.

* Julieta, who's taking English classes, would like to watch a few tutoring videos, and David says she may use Mario's DVD player in his bedroom. *I can't believe there aren't a dozen televisions in that house.* After Juli leaves David says now Gaby knows Mario isn't his real father. Yes, it's true. But what about that Marta? She really doesn't want to contradict Mario's statements but she DID hear Adolfo talking about that woman! And Leo's search for the photos... What happened, David? Don't tell her that everything's fine. She's afraid David thinks she's a stupid girl, that's why he doesn't tell her anything. Never! Look, the fact is that Leonardo is investigating after Adolfo's supposed smuggling operation... and finally Gaby learns about the diamonds, Bertha and the importance of the photos.



* Leonardo visits Marcos in prison. Does he know how important those shoes are for the police? It's natural he sold a few diamonds to have money. But if Marcos tells Leo the truth he'll do everything he can to help him. Marcos admits he and his girlfriend brought the shoes back to Mexico. What's his girlfriends name? Marcos answers it's not her fault. Whatever. Her name? Susana Gómez, and he doesn't know where she lives now.



* Naughty Sue is in Roberto's flat. She tells him how angry David was because of the photo, he even kicked Bertha out! Both are puzzled and they agree that everything is strange in the Genovés household. Roberto is very interested in the tunnel Susana mentioned earlier. She wasn't lying, was she? Of course not. Sue also has a strange question... about his friend Carlos. How long does Roberto know him? Since they were kids. But when he asks her how she knows Carlos she answers she heard his name in the Genovés villa.

* It's late night. Alejandra interrupts Fausto's pleasant evening with an interesting book and a comfortable armchair. Have they found the letter yet? And who wrote it? Dora. And how on Earth does Dora know about David's parentage? Because she's his mother. Alejandra's jaw drops. But why did she flee, was she afraid of David reaction? Maybe, says Fausto. And maybe because she proved JJ's innocence in the same letter. It's too much for Alejandra, she has to sit down. She complains a about her former lover: he may not be a murderer but he isn't a good man either. Why? Because he treated her badly. She wishes Fausto good night and leaves the old man who seemed to be quite tired of the love life of the youngsters.



* Carlos and Yolanda discuss the strange case of Gaby's photo and suspects that Yolanda, who knows Adolfo's businesses perfectly, doesn't tell him the truth. Who's Marta? There's no Marta, my child. And why did that detective visit her? Oh my God, did he investigate after other crime? Did he ask Yolanda about Carlos?! Yolanda doesn't understand him, why would a policeman investigate after him? Hmm, nevermind. He promises he'll find out what's happening. Yolanda asks about Adolfo. He's surely with Bertha, laughs Moustache. Isn't it funny that a geezer like him tries to hit on a young girl like her? Yolanda looks really worried.



* And one of Viewerville's biggest fear comes true: in a well-orchestrated scene Roberto breaks into the headquarters easily, he discovers the make-up room, the wigs, the photos, the televisions and, que horror, the tunnel. However, on the other end of the passage Fausto notices the noises and asks if he's Abelardo. Who's there? Roberto flees, Fausto follows him and on the other side of the passage he discovers the opened window.
