Amor Bravío #16 (Uni 11) Mon 8/27/12
Camila: Where were you that you didn't come home to sleep?
Camila: Do you think this situation can continue?
Camila: And what woman did you think you married?
Camila: But I am –
Camila: I don't understand what you're talking about.
Camila: Ah! Of course. This is how you express your manliness. [hombría] Really? You're mistaken, Alonso. You're forgetting that until my cousin gets here, I am the head of this ranch. I will hire whom I want.
Camila: Talk.
Isadora: I don't want you to think I'm an interfering mother-in-law – nothing would bother me more than that – but I'm very worried about the problems between you and my son. [metiche suegra]
Camila: I don't know what Alonso told you –
Isadora: Alonso told me nothing. But one doesn't have to be a genius to see that things between the two of you aren't going well. You? Alone with some friends in the city? And him drinking in a bar since morning?
Camila: What?
Isadora: Don't ask about what's obvious. I only know what I've heard.
Camila: Look, Isadora, I'm grateful you're concerned about us, but also I think that our problems as a couple are to be kept between us. Nobody else.
Isadora: Why have you changed so much? (crossing her arms and looking like a scolding schoolmarm) You are very different from the way my son spoke of you. I was under the impression he fell in love with a homebody, not someone who goes here and there and whom people talk about. A sweet, soft, woman of taste – (the music starts to enter the first stage of Dante's Inferno as Camila looks away briefly to roll her eyes)
Camila: Are you saying these things because you saw me eating with friends? That wasn't anything bad; you were also –
Isadora: That's different. I'm a
Camila: I'm truly grateful for your concern and your comments, but I'm uncomfortable discussing my intimate problems with my husband with his mother. Do you understand?
Isadora (attempting to assume authority): Daughter, I understand. But before I'm a mother I'm a woman. I know what I'm talking about. If a man looks away, it's for what he doesn't find at home. A man wants to be a protector, making decisions... Please, why can't you be the tender, fragile woman my son fell in love with? If you want your marriage to be paradise, you have to know the man you married.
Camila: What do you talking about?
Alonso: First being seen in public with other people and now taking my authority away in front of Leoncio. Hiring Natalia's boyfriend for the ranch.
Camila (more than tired of all this BS): Alonso, those are two different things and I was hoping your attitude would be different.
Alonso: You are arrogant, Camila.
Camila (incredulous): Excuse me?
Alonso: Yes. You are arrogant. Living it up in front of everyone, acting like you're the boss around here and I'm nothing but a rag doll or a – [pelele]
Camila: No, no, no. You are exaggerating, Alonso, please. You and I are the bosses here and until Uncle Daniel's heir gets here I am the executrix so I get to make decisions.
Alonso (sarcastic): You're doing very well, being the woman who wants to have everyone kneeling at her feet. Do you think I'm an idiot? I'm not that idiot Rudolfo. I am your husband, Camila.
Camila: Don't talk to me like that in front of others.
Alonso (seizes her by the jaw, pushing her head back): It's time you knew I am your husband.
Camila (breaks away and slaps him): That is the last time you will put your hands on me. The last.

Dan's misfortunes:
Dance floor collapse (Miriam injured)
Going Broke (mom sick & dying)
Jobless (probably due to mom sick & dying)
Wife gunned down
Being blamed for wife being gunned down
Being locked up in nasty jail
Having to jump off a cliff and being washed ashore (he can wash up my shore anytime)
Being busted in the leg after stowing away (I'll heal you back to health)
Being run down by Agustina (again, I'll heal you back to health)
It looked like Rudolfo heard the Camila/Alonso fight and was giving Alonso the stink eye.
I do feel sorry for Nat though. Every time DAndres put his arm around her, touched her hand, or gave her a brotherly kiss, I could feel her excitement growing and could see the big disappointment coming. So far there are enough men to go around so my early pairings are Cam and Dan; Nat and Rudolfo; and Vivi and Rafael (although right now they are just friends).
Anon207, SUPER list, as always!!! Thank you!!
Connie our erstwhile Recapper/Commenter.
I have to wonder where Daniel/Andres got the money to buy clothes and a leather jacket. Even his hat. Now he sports Charro suits. Where did he work if he did? I know we have to tighten the old beany but..... It's too early in the episodes for this. You also have to wonder how he keeps all his things in a little backpack. It's not even the big one.
We last saw him escape with the clothes on his back. He even eventually lost his gray top and ended up stealing a blue jacket down the shore.
He even offered to pay a few weeks in advance at the inn. I doubt he would have had that money with him all this time from prison since they inventory every possession you have before you wear the issed uniforms.
Alonso is not the only one with a "problem" down there. David from La Fuerza Del Destino also had a similar problem which he eventually overcame due to theraphy. And more people knew about his darned problem than should have, like pretty much the entire neighborhood. Tsk tsk tsk.
I really hated how that worm Alsonso manhandled Camila. Makes me want to knock that guy out.
OT: Jarocha or anyone in the know, when will Amores Verdaderos be shown here? I obtained some intel on the new series and it seems to be a really good show with shades of the Bodyguard film of Kevin Costner and the late Whitney Houston. If anyone can fill me in, please do so. Aribeth and Elvira may have some inside knowledge since they usually have good information that they share with us.

I agree with Vivi those are some hunks a burn' love floating around that ranch. I like her pairings too. Poor Nat she will get her heart broken, she sure has it bad for Andres.
How much sicker can Alonssso get? The guy needs to be locked up far far away. I am glad Camila put her foot down.
Anon 207- always like your lists.
I hope Camila keeps Andres at the ranch and doesn't fire him on the spot. He has been kinda creepy stalky but since we know his reasons and she doesn't I wonder if she will allow him to work on the ranch.
Mama Dragon, and Metiche Mama need to stay out of Camila's bidness. We know why Mama Dragon insists on knowing, kinda creepy, but her own mama? I too wonder what is up Mama Dragon and El Diablo's sleeve in ref to Alonssso and Camila.
I like Viviana and Rafael. I hope they help Camila get away from Alonssso. Camila sure needs to dump him like yesterday, but it will be a long time.
I can't stand Leonicio, he kind of reminds me of Gabino over there in Abismo, but not as bad, or maybe he is and we just don't know it yet.
Yes we are all anxious for Camila to kick her unfortunate husband to the curb. What I find most disturbing aside from his man-handling her is he and his mother 'gaslighting' her about being cold and evil. I hope Camila does something to enforce Alooser not touching her again.
Vivi - loved the small suitcase as Tardis ;)
Madelaine - While I'm not a fan of Gabino, I think Leonicio is worse b/c he's a dirty old man. In what universe would Nat want him as a novio? Even before Daniel showed up, there was Rudolfo. And how he handles his niece creeped me out too.
Could someone please tell me where to find the earlier Spanish-English captions
of LQNPA?
I really would like to read them if it's possible. Thank you! :))
Thanks for the recap.

David in LFdD; I need that gingko badly. I recapped the episode where we found out about it. Shows how intense this is. David got therapy and it helped him, but he was a good kid with bad parents. Alonssso is another species.
I think Daniel probably made some money before getting on that boat. I was wondering about how many clothes he had when Augustina was cutting the pants leg. I'm sure that La Malquerida supplies the uniforms. My gut tells me that each ranch has its own colors and style of charro uniform.
Those fans are mine. The ones purchased in Spain will be the headers for my episodes. I have about 60 folding fans of varied sizes. One is all white feathers.
Anon207: Good lists.
Karen: CE is a smooth dude. It looks like El Diablo will be courting Augustina in the way Alonssso couldn't do Camila. Mama Dragon will probably not like that.
BTW, are you in NYC? If so, this Friday is a free screening of the Met's latest production of Faust, from which I took the clip I posted two weeks ago. I am planning to be there.
I also agree that Leoncio may be worse than Gabino; he's had a lot more practice.
Vivi: Natalia will be in for some serious disappointment. I therefore hope that Rudolfo is meant for her. He's adorable in his charro suit.
Isadora and Dionisio need her to be happily married to Alonso so that they can get their hands on Malquerida. We're at some sort of tipping point - but, we're so early in this novela that they have to get the upper hand.
Camila is a person of conscience and she has a stronger will than Alonssso. She may have spoken of how she had been to him and he ignored what he didn't want to know. Now that she is getting back to the person she truly is and she's fighting his attempt to control her, he and Mama Dragon are trying to gaslight her.
I do hope the writers don't insult us by allowing them to drag her down.
UA, you said that Augustina "stupidstitiously" apologizes to Camila. I love the word, but I think there was good reason for her to apologize, since she needlessly mentioned what happened to Luiz.
Vivi, I like your proposed pairings. Hope you're right!
I'm almost back in form to follow and comment.
Two things: I think Alonssssso and Leoncccccio are planning a little dirty work for Danandres. There was talk of sending him to the stables (caballerizos) to muck out stalls, in hopes that it will get him to resign on his own.
Also, the money....while I think that the wardrobe dept. is taking liberties with his dress, Danandres was paid in a little envelope on deck for his work on the ship. It must have gotten wet, but bills do dry out.
Everything was ON the MONEY, UA.
Al-Loco-nso is turning out to be a fascinating character. I hope he isn't gored by a bull too soon. Not that he would dare put himself on the other side of the fence with those "nice" suits and ties he (or mama) chooses. I think the man has potential--as much potential as our nearly departed Dr. Alvaro Nesme in CME (who was then married to our Piedad) for endless ridicule. If you will permit, I will start mining the recaps and comments for descriptions of our man.
Anita
It should have occurred to all of them that grief had changed her behaviour. Makes me wonder how Alonssso earned his law degree if he's not smart enough to figure this out.
El Diablo is, however.
Lots of familiar faces in this.
Good to see La Font from Pasión (Leonicio) with all his limbs reattached and his smirk intact.
The Padre is one of my favorite Mexican actors who once again has a trademark catchword... in this case... pinacates
Of course Sylvia Navarro always brings it. What a talent.
I've not seen Isadora before (I think I would remember her). She is so icy but so gorgeous.
César Évora is always enjoyable... especially when he's both charming and evil.
But the real treat in this TN is Alonso. He is such a fascinating little bundle of neuroses.
So far the acting has been superb and of course the recapping divine.
Carlos
Cesar Evora is always a pleasure to see no matter what.
I see you revert to the word "merde" rather than "mierda", which makes me wonder if you know a bit of French as well? Or is the French just a better default word when we're speaking English?
I had a touch of sympathy for Alonso in his opening scene in this episode. Something about his expression (seemed defeated enough to perhaps let down his defenses). But it went away.
I agree that Leoncio is a creepy dude. Very crude, unrefined and just an all around creep. I think he is up to no good unless we are being misled into thinking that he will be bad based on his appearance and behavior.
Urban Anthropologist, thanks for responding. You've also called me anon twice. I guess you did not see my name at the bottom.
Anita, I saw the part where Daniel was paid on the ship before they jumped over. Since he had no papers, I'm sure he had to do that hard labor on such a low wage. Lower than what thjey would have paid regular stevedores or ship hands and that pay would also be too little. I think that's just enough for his food for a few days. But ok, I will use another beany. :)
Ibarramedia
I must admit that I'm quite smitten by Leticia Calderón. She's beautiful yet also quite scary. I kinda understand how Alonso came to be be Alonso.
I'm concerned that Daniel feels that Camila is responsible for his problems and grief. That brings to mind CME. I know we will see Camila suffer but I hope that Daniel doesn't try to get revenge in ways similar to what Jerónimo did.
Carlos
I also recall Daniel getting paid for his work from the ship's captain before he jumped overboard.
I'm not a germiphobe, but if I had to touch Leoncio, I would want to use hand sanitizer too.
I hope Camilla doesn't back down and give in to Alonso. I want her to continue to stand her ground.
Carlos, I've made comparisons to CME with Sylvia's role in both TNs also. There are a lot of similarities with her characters and predicaments.
I will be more careful in future.
Ibarramedia, can you put your sig in boldface if you don't have a Google ID? That would make it easier to avoid this mistake.

D'Andres has only been in town for a few days. He's been on the run, working and being washed ashore and being nursed back to health for month so he could have acculumated a decent sum of money.
If it has been 11 months since Don Daniel's death and approx. 10 months since Dan busted out of prison, if Miriam is still alive and IF Miriam's pregnancy progressed, Dan could be a new papa and he doesn't know it.*
This would also mean Alonso & Camila have been married almost a year with no sex.
I think as Daniel shovels crap from the bull barns he will hear the workers talking about good and sweet & nice Camila is, versus how nasty Alonso is. He's already heard that Camila is nice from Natalia.
I think Daniel/Andres escaped two months ago and has been on the run since. He's been hoarding what meager pay he's been getting doing odd jobs along the way.
Miriam is most likely still in a coma.
JaneS: I don't have English subtitles, so a lot of times I can get the gist of what's going on in a scene by the music.
Anon207: love your lists.
Not one to like the villains, but I have to say I think that the actors playing Alonso and Isadora are doing a great job. I especially like the movement, facial expressions, etc. of LC.
I thought that Alonso was crying in the shower scene.
Al's escalating (Criminal Minds talk). He's going to explode BIG TIME.

Thanks for the welcome on Saturday! This was a GREAT recap! So detailed ... thanks so much!
A big "uh-oh" went off in my head when I heard Natalia tell Camilia about Dan/And and she referred to him as "mi novio." I thought, "oh no," he was catapulted into "novio" mode quickly with that hug and non-sexual kiss.
But my favorite was Camila's look at Dan/And at the end ... I'll use the term that I've seen recappers use in the past: "She was looking IMPACTADO."
(I think I got that right.)
Thanks again for all of the details. It fills in the gaps that I missed.
"to contemplate her latest ramerawear"
"Mama Metiche" nick for Agustina
"Drat! Mama Metiche may get to see her future yerno's package before her daughter does. That just isn't done."
"He's obviously expert at a game that Alonssso can't qualify for."
===================
interesting to note how both men have married strong willed women who are large and in charge for one reason or another, and how both men react to the fact that their wife is the better provider or the one with all the true money and power.
Before I left, there was a scene where Abraham visited Daniel in prison and told him that Miriam was dead. Was he lying? Is Miriam still alive and in the coma?
