La Verdad Oculta EP81 01/12/2011 – Filthy little hobbits! They stole our life!
* Yesterday: Roberto told Adolfo he knew something very important about Mario Genovés. Today: Adolfo gives him 24 hours to prove he’s not fooling him again then he leaves saying his usual “if you fail you’ll face horrifying consequences” speech. In Juan José’s house the orphaned boyz have another pity party. While Asunción is hopelessly depressed because of losing his little girl, JJ tries to encourage him by saying the adoption isn’t done yet and they have to keep fighting for Caramelo.
*At AFI Ramón gives some photos to Leonardo who gets very angry when he sees Juan José on one of them. He does everything to protect that guy but he risks everything! He’s going to talk with him. In the architect studio Medina asks Zaida if she knows anything about Garnica. No, unfortunately she has no idea about his whereabouts. Anyway, she came to talk with him because she has a large amount of money that she’d like to invest. *Viewerville: open a brothel*
* FaustiMario and Abelardo arrive at the Genovés villa and have a lovely bromance scene in which Fausto promises to Bud Spencer that they’ll celebrate when the farce ends. Outside Abe orders Édgar not to disturb Mario who is going to disappear again, I mean, who retired to his bedroom. That’s what Eddie boy was waiting for: in the dining room he hits on Ramona, the homely but nice maid and asks her for a date. She likes the idea but before leaving she has to make an apple juice for Mario. Édgar gets rid of the woman for five minutes and makes the juice by himself. It seems to be delicious, except that few drops of poison he dripped into the jug. Bastrad. The maid brings the jug and a glass into the study and Fausto is about to drink it, when … Commercial break!
* We’re back. Fortunately Fausto, who’d like to leave the house as soon as possible, changed his mind and asks Ramona to put it on his bedside table. Half an hour later a bearless Fausto leaves the tunnel house, and Roberto, who has been spying on the door for a while, sneaks into the headquarters with a flashlight and a digital camera. Poor boy’s throat must be very soar because he keeps coughing while he takes photos of every single detail of the make-up room. In Mario’s bedroom he feels so terrible that he decides to drink the savory juice and says it saved his life. *Viewervile: LOL* However, while he’s leaving through the tunnel he gets dizzier and dizzier, he twitches and burps… but somehow makes it to his car. Outside a police car shows up and the policemen witness his last painful minutes. Roberto gets into the car and runs through the camera he accidentally dropped a few seconds ago, but he doesn’t get far – in front of JJ’s house he pulls a Linda Blair and dies a disgusting death.
*Before leaving with Ramona, content Édgar calls Adolfo to tell him the mission is accomplished. Pretty soon the whole neighbourhood is filled with cops, including Ramón (who sleeps in almost nothing) and Leonardo (who unfortunately sleeps in pyjamas). Yep, Roberto is dead. Totally. At the tunnel house they discover the signs of invading and the policemen tell them what they saw. Leo calls Abelardo.
*In his sick-room David, Gaby and Dora are very happy that he may leave the hospital soon. Abelardo shows up in the room and after getting rid of the ladies he tells Blondie the breaking news. And no, they have no freaking idea about how he died. David asks him to call Juan José. In the meantime Édgar tries to get into the study but it’s closed, and when he knocks on the door of Mario’s bedroom nobody answers. Strange. Back to the hospital: another member of the Stupendous Six, aka Fausto enters the sick-room and learns what happened to Roberto. Geez, hopefully it wasn’t Juan José who killed him! While the men are discussing the case upset Gabriela comes back and performs a small tantrum: Something’s wrong here! She knows they are all lying to her like they lied about Marta and the false wedding, too! She’s fed up with this situation and it’s very good that David returns home because they have much to talk about! She, David, Abelardo, Mario and Fausto – they’re going to have a long conversation in the same room!
*Asunción visits his Caramelo in Elsa’s cute flat where the little girl proudly shows him her new exercise books, tells him that her new name is María del Carmen Rivera and she’s completely content with her new life. Limón can’t hide his sorrow which makes both Elsa and Caramelo uncomfortable.
*Early in the morning a furious Bertha shows up at Carlos’s flat complaining about being forced to get up at 7 o’clock *que horror!* and she had to testify (falsely) for Adolfo. She’s very afraid and upset at her own stupidity, but Carlos tells her a good lawyer could prove her testimony was forced by Adolfo. At AFI Leo and Ramón learn that Rob was venenated by a glass of poisonous juice that he drank either in the tunnel house or in the Genovés villa. Leo changes the topic and orders Ramón to interrogate Marcos about the relationship between JJ and Garnica.
*David is at home. Again. While the ladies are putting him into bed Ramona pours the old juice out and washes the jug. Abelardo notices Édgar’s anxiety and scorns him for not doing his job properly, ie. letting Adolfo into the house.
*At JJ’s pumpkinhead is trying to get familiar with the strange and shiny world of computers and internet (“Please download the information from the internet… WTF?), when the depressed Asunción arrives at home and complaints about Caramelo’s new life. She’s so young, they’re going to lose him!
*In his bedroom David assures Gaby, who’s still confused and angry, that she’s the most important for him. Really? Then why isn’t he honest with her? Does he think she’s so stupid she wouldn’t understand the truth? It’s about their fathers and Adolfo, isn’t it. Sometimes she thinks Mario killed Marta… Talk, please! But poor David can’t say anything without Fausto’s approval, which makes Gaby more mad at him.
* Leonardo visits JJ to reproach him for beating up Roberto. JJ should remember that he has criminal record! Yeah, yeah, he knows it! He visited Roberto because he wanted to help David and he’d be glad to see him in jail. Or dead, says Leonardo. Good idea! Look, commandante, he isn’t a murderer type but he would happily kill that jerk. Oh, really? That’s interesting because Roberto was found dead… next to JJ’s house.

Great episode.
Oh no, Roberto kicked the bucket. I thought for sure he was going to croak on 'Mario's' bed, then I thought, oh no, he is going to croak in the tunnel, but no, he made it outside and managed to drive away and croak in his car. Even though he was a slime-ball I am going to miss him in this show.
I think Abelardo is becoming suspicious of Edgar.
Margaret
Margaret, unfortunately Roberto croaked near JJ's house and now, due to the surveillance, Leo knows JJ went there and on David's bidding, woops!
Edgar is going to be so confused, just like Roberto was when "Mario" turn up alive. :)
I thought Abelardo & Co. had fixed the problem with the porthole where Susana, Marcos and Roberto came and went at will. I guess they only hired the guards and didn't install an alarm.
Roberto, RIP-Not. Now, who's next.
Edgar has to go somewhere else.
Newbie-O-K
Favourite moment so far: Abelardo shows up at the hospital and tries to get rid of Dora and Gaby by saying he'd like to discuss the business with David. Gaby gets uneasy and asks him: "Why, did I... ehm, do something... ehm, wrong?"
*sigh* Although I don't feel sorry for him because he deserved a death like that, I'll miss this psychopath muchísimo, he's the most entertaining character of the show.
Nothing like a little apple juice to soothe a rough throat, eh?
And he said it had saved his life! :) Que ironia.
Too bad Edgar chose to go to the dark side, he’s handsome and playful. He would have been good for Mina, she needs a novio.
Newbie, I meant to say that JJ went to Roberto’s to threaten him and then Roberto died near JJ’s house! My post was confusing! I had a sinking feeling when David sent JJ on a mission the other day, JJ can be a loose cannon. After all, he really roughed Roberto up, even delivering a kick! As we all know from US crime dramas, the police look at people with priors first, JJ is a walking police target. I wonder if Leo is obliged to take JJ in for questioning even though he might feel that he had nothing to do with the crime?
Jeri, I’m completely impressed with the FRESHLY made apple juice, wow! It looked yummy.
Poor David, he’s the point guy for Gabi’s questions and feels her frustrations, but he knows he can’t reveal the truth without Fausto’s approval, he is in a tough situation. Gabi is a great heroine, no passive hands wringing for her.
Loved the photos; equally evil, I too laughed at Roberto's demise complete with frothy foam,and
savoring the drink, "Gracias a Dios - this is a lifesaver!"
Now, we'll see how he is tied to the 2 murders. With regard to the maid, Dora did not see his face, and it seems it would be only Carlos' word. With regard to Mario, I'm wondering where the truck is now and how good a piece
of evidence would the damage on
the truck be since it cannot be
matched up to the incinerated
passenger vehicle. The intrigue goes on. It will be interesting also to seen the interaction among JJ, Zaida, and Ale when Z. makes her play.
Floridia, I meant to say that I enjoyed your well reasoned post last night or the expectations of Limon's possible efforts on literacy!
miss the slimy and villainous
Roberto; CONGRATULATIONS to Fabián
Robles for portraying this fascinating personification of a
good for nothing creep.
I know David's in a bind and his even saying I can't tell you what I know without your father's permission is against TN rules but I wish he would. After his mistakes in the past with Gabi and we know he wants to tell her, I feel for him.
Thanks Jeri for your recap yesterday! Classes have started and I could read until after 9 pm last night.
Ironic Adolfo's own henchman did it while Roberto was gathering information to give Adolfo that could be a gigantic advantage for him against David.
Margaret
If someone inadvertently coughs, they cut. So when there's a cough or a throat clearing or a sneeze or whatever, it means something.
Roberto coughed and cleared his throat several times for the benefit of those who weren't paying attention that he was going to need a little something for his throat.
By the way, I thought someone might discover Susana was in the hospital, maybe even placing David in ICU with her, although David's always been in a private room. But now he's home again.
GinCA
I thought there was supposed to be a squad of security guards watching the tunnel house as well.
I noticed Roberto wiped the pitcher of fingerprints, but not the glass which he also touched. I'll bet the maid didn't wash the glass because it was unused. And his camera may still have pictures on it if the card wasn't damaged. It could tell the whole tale and keep JJ out of jail.
Fausto better come clean to Gabi soon. She looked like she was going to explode.
Yep, one bumbling henchman killed off the other bumbling henchman. Wouldn't it be funny if when Adolfo hears about this he sighs, "oh, just shoot me" and this time Edgar gets it right?
GinCA
"Would someone just nail some chicken wire over that window already."
You are so funny, hahaha.
Margaret
Xint, “oh, just shoot me” too funny!
Margaret
LOL!! :D))
Would someone just nail some chicken wire over that window already.
:DDD
The recap is ready, thanks for your patience.
David better tell Gabi everything. She's tired of being given the runaround understandably.
I thought the window would've been repaired after Fausto noticed it some time ago. Even Alex mentioned about repairing it but never got around to it.
Ah what a satisfying end for Roberto.I am so happy he died outside Mario's house.In my opinion he didn't suffer enough. Sorry I'll go confess my morbid thoughts at mass. I still don't get why L1mon has to be shut out of Caramelo's life. Granted he isn't educated but doesn't love count for anything? Didn't he find her as a baby abandoned? He never abused her or put her life in danger. Elsa has issues.She should be a little sensitive.She wasn't friendly towards Limon when he came to visit. That child is his whole world.She is letting her anger at JJ cloud her judgment.

Really appreciate your hard work on this. I know you've been busy.
I loved the "bromance" interlude;
it appeared very realistic, and
Abelardo was very insistent that
he celebrate with a Lemonade
when the time comes. Good for him!
I decided it was better just to eat the fruit whole. Juice companies probably have a vendor they can sell the pulp to and make it less wasteful.
And there are some good fresh apple juice companies that sell in stores.
I too will miss evil Roberto. But glad JJ got a chance to kick his a$$ before his demise.
