Capitulo 90: Two Malditos, Two Final Exits

Lo del pasado

El Diablo voices suspicions, Alonssso calls Daniel about the meeting place.  Ximeana texts Bruno, who puts the phone near Camila.   Osvaldo persuades Daniel to take a pistol with him; Augustina enters with one from Don Daniel's collection, Daniel exits. Hissadora pretends to be shocked at Alonssso's behavior; Viviana is not fooled. Bruno picks up the unconscious Camila and carries her out, leaving a burning candle and the syringe behind, near a haystack.

Lo de nuevo

La Malquerida; Courtyard:   Hissadora and Ximeana come out. Hissadora realizes that Daniel and his friends suspect her and may be watching her.   Ximeana asks how she benefits from Alonssso owning the ranch and Hissadora explains that since Alonssso is mentally ill he will end up in a psych ward and she will manage his finances. Which means she will sell the ranch and the two bad girls can live high off the hog on the money. Ximeana is concerned about people getting hurt because she doesn't want any deaths on her conscience [We marvel at the news that she even has one]. Mama Dragon tells her not to worry about that [which we all know means that she intends to off Ximeana as soon as she becomes a burden]. We leave them talking over their next move in the courtyard.

La Buenaventura, Near the Corral:    Woodwinds and strings sound the forest noises and mysteries as Roman is running and wondering where to go, knowing that there are bulls nearby. He sees Ninja Bruno carrying Camila and putting her down at the base of a tree when he takes a call from Hissadora, requesting further instructions. He hasn spoken only to Ximeana; he will be in contact only with her. We do not hear Hissadora's end of the conversation and Bruno tells her that he knows exactly what to do. Roman sensibly does not make his presence known, but runs back in the opposite direction as Bruno slings Camila over his shoulder once again.

La Malquerida, Study:   Hissadora hangs up the phone just as an angry Diablo enters demanding to know what she has done to Camila that she is now blaming on her son. She demands to know why he thinks she had anything to do with this and he responds that Alonssso is incapable of thinking this up and planning it on his own. She finally gloats that it was her idea and he grabs her, demanding to know what she's done with Camila and she tells him to let her go or she will say nothing and Camila will die. He seems to have tipped his hand here about his obsession with Camila when he demands to know if she has harmed her. When he releases her she tells him that she did this behind his back because he would never agree to kidnapping Camila. Daniel put the property in Alonssso's name in exchange for her life and thus they will have it. She reminds him that she and Alonssso made out their wills a long time ago and that she (Hissadora) is Alonssso's heir if anything happens to him. He demands to know where Camila is and she tells him – condescendingly – that she's in a place he can rescue her from and look like a hero. Then they can take the money and run. At his repeated demand to know where Camila is Hissadora tells him she is in the Albarrán's corral. He can rescue her and allay any suspicions directed at the two of them if he finds her before Alonssso or Daniel. She gives him instructions that include finding a piece of Camila's clothing under a large rock. He tells her she had better hope that this strange plan works because if it doesn't there is no power – human or divine – that will save her. She smirks, fakes a kiss at him and grins when he exits.

La Buenaventura, Parlour: Mariano and Refugio try to resign Ana to the departure of Roman, who runs back in to tell them he saw a man carrying Camila onto the ranch. He then leads Mariano outside.

Outside: El Diablo looks around and finds the rock and the scrap of cloth, then heads off in the stated direction.

La Malquerida, Courtyard: Augustina comes out of the hacienda with Viviana, Aaron, and Rafael. She is vexed that they kept her in the dark about Daniel's identity. Viviana explains that it was for her own safety as well as for Camila's. Augustina is not letting them off the hook, accusing Daniel of being a stranger and a fortune hunter. Aaron reminds her that this was about protecting her and Camila. She wants to see Don Daniel's letter to see for herself that he suspected that Alonssso was up to no good. Viviana replies that she should see it, especially since she doesn't believe Daniel. She can draw her own conclusions then. Augustina relents, saying that the whole DNA and relationship web around them is madness. Francisco arrives, agreeing with her. Further, he states that if they are of no matter to Daniel – who signed the ranch over to Alonssso – what she is talking about makes no difference because they will all have to leave it. Augustina tries to rip him a new one, saying she wishes she were his widow instead and after all this is over she never wants to see him again. Aaron advises Francisco to leave, and pushes him back as Augustina cries. Viviana tries to assure her that Camila will be back safely soon. Augustina says something about Camila being the only daughter who cares about her. [???]

La Buenaventura, Corral:    Camila is still bound and gagged and just regaining consciousness as El Diablo arrives, seeing that she is in the pathway in front of the corral gate. He curses Hissadora for lying to him that Camila was in no danger as he bounds over the stone barrier [not a bad move at his weight, but he is The Devil] and rushes over to her to untie her wrists and ankles. Bruno, standing on the upper part, slides the gate open. As Camila is up to a seated position she sees the five bulls that are exiting their pen.   [¿Salud?] "They're going to kill us."  And there are more bulls behind them. El Diablo has the presence of mind to pick up Camila and put her on the stone wall on the side as the bulls begin to charge, but gets knocked down by the exiting bulls as Camila slips down the other side.   Bruno is watching from a nearby vantage point, making a gesture on the order of “Maldita” when he is caught by Mariano, who kicks him down. They fight, but Bruno lands a good punch and gets away. Camila goes to the wire fence extension to find El Diablo on the ground, clutching a leg and saying that if necessary he'd have given his life for her. Three of the Buenaventura vaqueros arrive and Camila starts giving them instructions.

Meanwhile as the violins celebrate in a minor key switching to major, Bruno has chosen a poor escape route as he falls backwards into the bullpen. Mariano and his capetaz arrive in time to see taurine violence we are tastefully not shown.

Metepec, Hotel: Alonssso, biting his claws [¡Salud!] sits in a waiting room wondering what is happening. He e-mails the recording of his last conversation with Mommy Direst. He bites his claws again [¡Salud!] and starts pacing as the clerk from the cell phone company arrives with the report he requested of the calls between El Diablo and his henchman, Julian. He points out the first calls are between Chile and Mexico. Alonsso pays him, thanks him, and they shake hands. This is the proof... and his revenge.

Road / Hotel: Daniel gets out of his car and takes out his cell phone to call Alonssso, who does not answer. Instead he lets himself into the room and clutches the cell phone report as though it were a lifeline. Daniel hears the no connect signal and hits the button on the phone in frustration.

La Malquerida, Parlour: Hissadora sits on the couch, calmly drinking coffee as Augustina sits worried on the opposite couch with Osvaldo at her side. El Diablo and Ximeana's absences are noted.  Viviana, Rafael, and Aaron are also present. Daniel calls Rafael to let him know that Alonssso hasn't arrived and isn't answering his bloody cell phone. He almost loses it when Rafael tells him to be patient. Every moment is an eternity. Rafael finally ends the call and makes a subtle signal to Viviana. She gets up and puts her head together with the two attractive brothers and Rafael tells her nothing has happened yet. Aaron points out how odd it is that Hissadora can be so calm when her son has done something so horrible. Viviana calmly tells them this does not surprise her because “This woman has no blood in her veins.” [Es veneno, por supuesto.] Augustina says “It was a cursed hour when Camila married your son” and Hissadora reminds her she was very happy about it back in the day. She then says that she loves her son but she is not blind. She knows he has his faults and his weaknesses. And it will hurt when she sees him pay for everything he 's done to Camila. Viviana watches this carefully out of the corner of her eye and Rafael follows her gaze.

Metepec, Hotel Room: Ximeana arrives – sent by Hissadora – and Alonssso is not entirely pleased. He is sure Hissadora sent her to seduce him. She tells him she is there because she wants to be. She reminds him that their marriage was to be for his benefit, not hers. He is still suspicious that she may be getting revenge on him. She tells him no and reminds him that Hissadora is capable of anything. She knows that Hissadora would have Camila killed if he didn't cooperate with her and she doesn't want to share the guilt. Alonssso gets even angrier at the prospect of Hissadora murdering Camila. Ximeana realizes that Alonssso never loved her as he did Camila. A very uncomfortable moment ensues for both of them as she asks whether she was just an aventura to him. He denies that while biting his claws again [¡Salud!] saying that she means everything to him because he recuperated his manhood with her. He started to love her.. She starts to cry. However, it wasn't the same. He apologises to the strains of “Te odio.” saying that at this moment the only priority is Camila.

La Buenaventura, Corral: El Diablo lies on the grass, in pain, as Camila tells him the ambulance should be coming. Mariano arrives to tell Camila she should go to the hospital, too. She tells him she's alright and all she wants now is to talk to Daniel. Iago and Cayetano arrive, saying the ambulance is on its way along with the police. Mariano promises to take care of notifying the appropriate people but there is no signal at the moment to reach Daniel. He'll call her family in the meantime.

La Malquerida, Parlour: Mariano calls; Osvaldo answers and hears that Camila and El Diablo are alright although El Diablo's been hurt. He tells Mariano he will tell the others and get over there. He ends the call and explains what happened. Hissadora maintains as good a poker face as she can but wonders how this was possible in the path of those beasts. However, when he tells that El Diablo saved Camila's life Rafael wonders what he was doing there. Viviana asks “Wasn't she with Alonssso?” Osvaldo says he doesn't know much but apparently El Diablo saved Camila's life by getting her out of the path of the charging bulls. Augustina gets the vapors as Hissadora puts on her happy face saying that El Diablo is the hero of the hour. Augustina wants to go to La Buenaventura, but Osvaldo tells her no; they will be at the hospital in Metepec shortly. They prepare to leave. Osvaldo leaves Rafael in charge of getting in touch with Daniel, mentioning that the man who kidnapped Camila died in the bull pen; he has not yet been identified. Rafael, Aaron, and Viviana are the last out the door and Rafael lingers behind to call Daniel. He tells him that under no circumstances is he to hand the papers to Alonssso or to wait for him and that Camila is alright. They're on their way to the hospital in Metepec and he is to meet them there. Daniel gets back into the car and burns rubber.

Hotel Room: Ximeana tells Alonssso they are to wait two hours before going to get Camila. Alonssso points out that Daniel is waiting for him. Ximeana tells him Daniel will wait as long as he has to and he needs to get control of himself. He tells her he will have control because he has proof of El Diablo and Hissadora's guilt. The idiot shows her the cell phone report proving that El Diablo was in communication with Julian on the day and the days surrounding the attempt on Daniel's life. He has her put it in her purse, she thinks they're home free, and he tells her as soon as they know Camila is alright all will be well. They leave. Curiously, Alonssso throws his tie on the bed before they depart.

La Malquerida, Courtyard: As Osvaldo and Augustina leave the hacienda, Francisco appears and hears the good news about Camila. “So soon?” he asks. Seguramente es borracho. Augustina reproaches him, saying when did he ever care about Camila and would he please find Ximeana and tell her what happened. She and Osvaldo get into their cars. Viviana and the two good boys get into hers. They ask if Hissadora wants to ride with them and Hissadora tells them she prefers to take her own car because she needs to find her son. She is going to the church to prey for him. Francisco approaches Hissadora's car, asking her if he can ride with her. “Por supuesto que no!” says she, telling him to get out of the way as she drives off. He heads back to the hacienda as Pablo and Luzma come out. He tells them that Camila was hidden at La Buenaventura. Pablo doesn't quite believe this; he whips out his cell to make a call .

La Buenaventura, Corral: El Diablo is strapped down on the ambulance stretcher in a neck brace. Camila thanks him for saving her life. “I'll never forget this” she says, encouraging the approach of another Acme anvil. She doesn't want to go to the hospital, but the medical personnel insist on it. She has a headache, but complains of nothing else.

Hostal: Natalia ends a call with Luzma, who has filled her in on what has just happened. Amanda enters as she hangs up. She tells Amanda what happened and that she is going over to the hospital. Furthermore, everyone now knows who Daniel really is. Amanda is not pleased that Natalia's attitude has changed toward her, but Natalia is firm. If she doesn't tell her everything, there is no point in their speaking to each other. Natalia tells her flatly that things can't go back to what they were until she does, then exits.

La Buenaventura, Parlour: Ana and Roman sit on the couch with the adorable Muñeca between them. Roman tells Ana he doesn't want to go to an orphanage; many kids never get adopted. People want to adopt little kids, not ones his age. Ana tells him she will get her dad to help because her dad always keeps his word. She makes him promise not to leave. Refugio comes in with (big) snacks and drinks for them, which they kneel on the floor to eat as the adorable puppy plays on the sofa. [Mariano needs to adopt this boy.]

Hospital: El Diablo and Camila are wheeled in. Daniel  arrives, relieved that Camila is alright. They kiss, call each other “mi amor” and El Diablo winces at hearing this. Pablo and Luzma arrive right behind Daniel, who then tells Camila that everyone now knows his true identity. She is relieved because it means that Daniel can now take his rightful place. Pablo explains that Mariano is talking to the police. A doctor tells Daniel they have to admit the patient, and Camila is wheeled into the emergency room.

Road: Alonssso stops the car and they get out. For what is about to be their getaway Ximeana is not properly shod; she can barely walk in those platform stilettos. This is presumably where Camila was to be left for them to find. Alonssso asks whether she knew where Camila was being held; Ximeana claims to know nothing of their plans. Although Ximeana tries to argue the point, Alonssso takes out his cell phone to call Daniel to show that he is complying with him. When Daniel answers he tells him that Camila is with him safe and sound and that La Malquerida will never be his because he is going to prison! When Daniel ends the call Alonssso realizes somehow that he fell into Hissadora's trap. Ximeana asks him how that could be and he starts to panic. He tells her he has to get to a safe place and turn over the documents to Daniel to prove his own innocence. And he has to do it alone. She panics now, knowing that this leaves her hanging out to dry. He grabs the purse containing the documents and she babbles on about how she can't go back to the ranch, she can't face Hissadora, etc. He relents, they get back into the car, and drive off.

Hospital: Osvaldo and Augustina arrive; Daniel explains that Camila is alright and that El Diablo has a leg fracture and a back injury. Pablo explains what Mariano saw, then goes off to get her some tea for her nerves. [Piedad is very lucky to be getting him for a yerno.] No sooner is he out of earshot that Augustina reproaches Daniel for his accusations against El Diablo. How can he dare think he tried to have him killed in Chile when he has saved Camila's life? Daniel tells her he is not a fool. He points out how bizarre this situation is, as in how did El Diablo happen to be there in time? How could this be a coincidence?  This was part of a plan to make him look good in the situation, particularly in front of her and Camila. Augustina – who is a fool – still does not believe this. Osvaldo tries to get her to see reason – suggesting that the rescue was a show that he was not involved in the kidnapping – but she still won't hear a word against El Diablo. Daniel tells her that when the truth comes out about the murder of his wife in Chile he will see to it that El Diablo, Hissadora, and Alonssso go to prison for the rest of their lives. She departs in a huff to see Camila, passing Viviana on the way. Viviana tells the men that Rafa and Aaron are at the police station pressing charges against Alonssso. mentions Don Daniel's letter and that Augustina should read it; both Daniel and Osvaldo agree. The latter says he will call his secretary to have it sent over by messenger.

Road: Alonssso picks the wrong time and place to stop and argue with Ximeana, whom he accuses of being on Hissadora's side. He goes loco in his paranoia, accusing her of betraying him to Hissadora, ordering her out of the car. She panics, telling him they need to think of themselves, to get away, etc. He shouts over her, saying he doesn't trust her, that she and Hissadora are identical and can't love anyone. As he reaches to open the passenger side door, he feels the rear-ending impact of another vehicle and looks back, freezing in shock. Ximeana looks back, truly afraid. Hissadora has pulled up in her car, saying “I couldn't finish Dionisio and Camila, but you? Yes.” She then shifts and leans on the accelerator at an effective Ramming Speed. She appears to lock under the rear bumper of Alonssso's car in a pullback, but just goes forward hard enough to push them head first off the cliff. The violins have a field day as the car falls about thirty feet, lands in a capsized position, and explodes into flame. Hissadora Desalmada gets out of her car, walks to the edge, and smiles at her latest handiwork.

Avances

It's possible that Daniel can't recover the ranch.
