Caray, Caray!

Webcam video is in italics.

• Danilo wakes up, grabs the rifle Laustela left and shoots at Asdrubal’s men as they burst through the door. He runs out of bullets and they shoot him in the left side of his chest. He goes down with a smile of his face.
• Mercy arrives home with Joe. She thinks it’s incredible that Ryan would reprimand her for her actions, especially since she’s now a widow, but everything is always her fault. Joe thinks he will forgive her eventually but Mercy doesn’t think so, especially after he already forgave and forgot Laustela’s fake robbery. She then grows quiet and admits that she feels dirty because of their actions but Joe tells her that it will take time, but they will get through it. He then kisses her.
• Laustela arrives with Ryan at his condominium and Rosario gives her a big hug before thanking her lucky stars that she’s okay. Ryan explains that Laustela has been through hell and back but was finally able to escape Danilo. Rosario nods as Laustela goes to get her some clean clothes so she can shower. Once alone, Laustela admits that she thought today was the last day of her life but Ryan proposes they beat him at his own game. Laustela would prefer he not get involved as Danilo is now a murderer because he killed El Dorado.
• Mercy wouldn’t want to give up her opportunity to be happy and Joe doesn’t want her to. He agrees they did wrong by Walter but that is the past. Mercy worries about what people will say when they are out in public but Joe doesn’t care. He does ask that she tell him if she doesn’t want to be with him anymore so he can leave. Mercy doesn’t think it’s that easy, especially after they’ve admitted their feelings to each other, but Joe reiterates that he will do what she wishes.


• Asdrubal’s men go over to Danilo, who is motionless, and curses his luck as Asdrubal wanted him alive.
• Mercy asks Joe to slow down and pushes him away. He begs her to ask him to stay because he will then know that she wants him as much as he wants her. She nods and kisses him again before turning off the lights and locking her bedroom door.
• Laustela comes out of the shower as Ryan chides her for going to El Dorado’s house, especially because his cartel may think she had something to do with his death. Laustela made sure not to touch anything but Ryan reminds her that El Dorado probably had someone watching the house, just in case. Laustela reiterates that there were no guards and explains that one of El Dorado’s own men ordered his death. Ryan wonders how El Dorado’s men could confirm what happened, especially since no one was watching the place, but then realizes that there must have been a camera or some other monitoring device. Laustela worries that she would have been recorded if there had been a camera and Ryan worries about the possible implications. Laustela reminds him that a video would show Danilo killing El Dorado but Ryan thinks Danilo is sneaky enough to come to an agreement with El Dorado’s men and only implicate her. Laustela wonders how much longer she will have to pay for becoming Estela Carrillo. Ryan assures her they will think of something but Laustela has a solution, though it may be dangerous.
• Asdrubal calls Talisman and asks him how everything went at Lucio Galvan’s house. Talisman confirms that everything is going well; he will make sure that everything looks like the electricity short-circuited. Asdrubal thanks him and then hangs up when one of his men comes knocking. He tells Asdrubal that they need to call a doctor ASAP to extract the bullet or Danilo may die. Moments later, they place Danilo on the table and Asdrubal chides them for shooting him in the first place.
• Laustela and Ryan arrive at Lucio’s house, with hoodies covering their face, and go to his room. They see Lucio’s body and gasp but then notice the computer next to the bed. Laustela worries that the camera was already destroyed but Ryan explains that a copy of the video could be on the hard drive. He suggests they take everything and go over the footage, just in case. They hear someone downstairs and wonder who it is. It is Talisman, who pours gasoline over everything, and lights a match. He throws it on the gasoline and watches it burn.
• Leticia cleans the dinner table and cries as Tomas comes and chides her for waking him up. Leticia tried to not make noise but she suggests he go back to bed. Tomas grabs a beer, though Leticia thinks he shouldn’t drink so late, and chugs it down. He also suggests she learn English, quickly, so she understand him better. Leticia wonders what is wrong and Tomas explains that they have two teenagers living with them and they devour everything. Leticia will find a place and move out tomorrow but Tomas apologizes immediately and asks her to sit down with him so they can talk.
• Ryan tells Laustela to wait in the room while he goes to see what is happening. Ryan goes downstairs to the living room and finds that it has been set on fire. He runs back to Lucio’s room, grabs Laustela and tells her the house is burning. They go to the doorway but find the fire has consumed the hallway too and close the door.
• Tomas tries to get it on with Leticia but she reminds him that her children are in the room. He tells her that it’s okay but asks again if he forgives her. She nods but reminds him that her children are still adjusting to the situation though Tomas notes that her children don’t love him, especially Maria. Leticia shakes her head and then kisses Tomas, who tells her that all he wants us to take care of her. Just then, Maria storms out of her room with a bookbag but Leticia stops her and demands to know where she is going. She screams that she is going to Erasmo’s because she can’t stand to live with Tomas anymore. Tomas quietly drinks his beer.
• Ryan finds that the windows are nailed shut and begins to cough as does Laustela. He grabs the duvet from the bed, runs to the bathroom and opens the showerhead. Once the duvet is soaked, he drapes it over himself and Laustela and they run out the door as Lucio’s body burns. Once outside, they both check that they are both okay. Laustela thanks him for saving her life again but hates herself for getting him in trouble again. Ryan asks her not to worry and they run to the car and drive away.
• Leticia won’t let Maria leave, especially at this hour and in a foreign county, but Tomas asks Leticia to let her go because she’ll come crawling back tomorrow. Maria tells Tomas to mind his business as Tadeo comes and asks them what the problem is. Leticia explains and Tadeo agrees with Leticia and reminds Maria that their father lives with another woman. Maria already sent him a text though and he asked her to come live with him. Tadeo tells them that they shouldn’t be apart, especially because they are family, but Maria opens the door and runs out as Tomas holds Leticia back. He tells her that Maria doesn’t want to be part of their family and she must let her go. Leticia, reluctantly does, and closes the door.
• Nina meets with Tona at a bar and tells her that Fausto has not revealed what his new business is. Tona warns her to find out soon but wonders if she likes to sleep with Fausto so much that she’s forgotten her objective. Nina explains that it’s been hard but Tona has also not kept up with her part of the deal and gotten her more clients. Tona tells her that she won’t get any clients until she knows Fausto’s plans. Nina gets up to leave, as she must work somehow, but then remembers that Fausto mentioned something the other day about “Lake” or “Blake.” Tona realizes that Fausto has dealing with Mr. Blake personally and they’ve left her out of the deal. Tona now knows why they call Mr. Blake “unkillable” but she will have her revenge. She gives Nina some money for another beer and asks her to relax as she will have a lot of work soon before leaving.
• Asdrubal pours alcohol down Danilo’s throat and he finally wakes up. He sees Asdrubal and chides him for ordering Lucio’s murder, just because they tried to do business son the side, but Asdrubal reminds him that it is his own fault and applies pressure to Danilo’s wound when Danilo threatens to get back at him. Asdrubal then asks the doctor to stitch him up soon but asks him to leave a scar so that Danilo always remembers his betrayal.
• Ryan connects the hard drive of Lucio’s computer to his, which they managed to lift off the house, and looks at the footage with Laustela and Rosario. Ryan hopes Danilo didn’t kill him but they must look at the footage, which begins hours before the murder…
• Lucio arrives home and webcams with Asdrubal. He hopes El Dorado got his message loud and clear and shows his face. He also hopes El Dorado realizes that he can’t use people as he does though he knows what the consequences will be. He states that he doesn’t care to die though because he’s been a long time ago.
• Rosario is confused as she thought Lucio was El Dorado but they realize he isn’t and he was only a patsy. They wonder who the real Dorado is then.
• Asdrubal explains that El Dorado has a lot of enemies who want to see him dead but they are there to protect him and, to do so, they hire patsies in his place. Danilo finally understands why Lucio was killed but also why Lucio proposed Danilo start his own business, as revenge. Asdrubal nods and Danilo wonders who will take Lucio’s place to keep El Dorado safe. Asdrubal tells him that the new patsy will be him but Danilo is quiet.
• Luisa tells Mr. Blake that Luisa is there to see him and he asks that she leave them alone. Luisa pretends to leave by closing the door but stays through the whole meeting. Tona chides Mr. Blake for going into business with Fausto but leaving her out of their deals. Mr. Blake reminds her that the last business they conducted together ended with him blind and Osiel dead. Tona reminds him that it was because of Laura that all that happened but she is now burning in hell. Either way, she has come to offer her services. Mr. Blake will consider it but he warns her to not set another foot in his house. If he should need her, he will come find her. Tona storms out.
• Danilo laughs off Asdrubal’s announcement and asks to see El Dorado face-to-face before he accepts any deal. Asdrubal calls him an idiot because he hasn’t figured out the whole point of this: to protect El Dorado’s anonymity, especially from the likes of people like him. Danilo is quiet and Asdrubal pours him a drink before warning him that he will follow his instructions to the T or he will pay for it with his life. Danilo reminds him that the first person he must watch out for, if he accepts his deal, is him, because he already killed Lucio Galvan. Asdrubal notes that his first lesson is loyalty and asks if he should they call him “El Dorado” or “The Deceased.” Danilo looks at the glass of whiskey Asdrubal poured, inside is the bullet they just took out of him.
• Laustela thinks it was better when they though El Dorado was dead; now everything is still up in the air. She won’t tell Danilo the truth though and Ryan notes that even if Lucio Galvan is dead, El Dorado, whoever he is, still controls everything and he doubts he is going to stop laundering money at Furia. While that is still the case, all of them are still his accomplices.
• Danilo gets up and asks Asdrubal if he will go back to Furia, since he is now El Dorado, but Asdrubal explains that he will be El Dorado when and with who he tells him. For everyone, including Porfirio, he is going to continue to be Danilo Cabrera, but Danilo thinks that’s too confusing. Asdrubal puts it a simpler way: he will launder money for Porfirio as Danilo but will launder money for Marcelino as El Dorado, that way, their organization is in control of the whole business. Danilo sees all the different IDs that Lucio, whose real name was Nestor, had on Asdrubal’s computer screen and asks if he traveled a lot. Asdrubal laughs and tells him that poor Nestor was only a figurehead, a squeaky front man who’s name they used for all El Dorado’s offshore accounts. Danilo smiles at the fact that he is going to control all the money but Asdrubal warns him that he will never have access to those funds and he will die if any money goes missing. Danilo curses his luck.
• Ryan tells Laustela to act like nothing is wrong and continue performing as Regia. She thinks they should reach out to El Dorado but Rosario thinks she shouldn’t risk herself again as she’s already dancing with the Devil. Ryan wonders if El Dorado is someone who can be easily recognized and that is why he uses a patsy in the first place. He thinks they should investigate who El Dorado is because that may be the leverage they need to get Furia and all of them out of the mess they are in. Laustela still thinks she should reach out as Regia, so El Dorado knows she’s loyal, but Ryan is unsure. She reminds him that they will be together and Ryan nods. He tells her that she has an interview coming up and that may be the best way to get El Dorado’s attention. Laustela nods and hugs Ryan.
• Leticia calls Erasmo, who confirms that Maria arrived at his house and is safe. Leticia wants to know how long she’ll be there and Erasmo promises to call her in the morning before hanging up. He then chides Maria for lying to Leticia but Maria explains that the only way her mother let her go is if she thought Erasmo was waiting for her. She begs him to let her stay but Erasmo reminds her that neither he nor Bonita have the time to take care of her. Bonita agrees and suggests she go back to Leticia but she can stay the night while they figure it out. They then go to get some blankets and a pillow as Maria looks around the house. She finds some cash hidden in a vase but doesn’t take it and then goes to eat something in the kitchen.
• Nina and Fausto watch TV while she tries to get information out of him regarding Regia. He explains that he knew her before she was Regia and taught her everything she knows. Nina asks how and Fausto reveals that he was the first man in her life before laughing.
• The next day, Genesis tells Laustela to be ready, as the interviewers have arrived, before leaving to make sure everything is running smoothly. Laustela, dressed as Regia, gets out of the dressing room, and walks downstairs to the backstage area at Furia but is surprised to find Danilo waiting for her. He notes that she looks shocked but she thinks she shouldn’t be as bad seeds never die. Danilo reveals he didn’t kill the real El Dorado and is now his right-hand man because El Dorado loves him more than anyone in the word. Laustela asks him to tell her who El Dorado is but Danilo reminds her that everyone is entitled to their secrets. Laustela nods but warns him to tell El Dorado that Paloma is off limits though she reminds him that narcos have no respect for people and El Dorado will likely kill him too, when he’s done with him. Danilo explains that he will only be killed if El Dorado orders it and he won’t order it because he’s El Dorado esteems him. He announces that he is safer than the president.
• Fausto looks at his scar as Nina gets ready to leave. He chides her for doing so but Nina explains that Regia is doing an interview today and wants to see her to talk about her fan club. Fausto suggests she go on social media but asks if she knows how to write. Nina nods and thinks she got further in school than he did. Fausto asks her to calm down, as he only wanted to her help with the club, but reminds her that he knew Regia. Nina doesn’t believe he was ever with Regia because she’s too poised and regal to ever be with someone like him.
• The interview begins and the reporter asks Regia about the narco corrido regarding Torre Blanca. She wants to know if it was pure coincidence as the song, though it used different words, described the shootout perfectly. Regia laments what happened but makes it clear that she had nothing to do with Torre Blanca. The reporter as if she is going the way of another narco corrido singer but Regia reiterates that she isn’t. In fact, her music is for the people, so they can feel good, and not to remind them of the frontier justice at the border. She has written a new version of the song, and offers to sing it now, to show everyone that she is not a narco corrido singer. She begins to sing the new song, which states that Torre Blanca is not for sale and its citizens will not allow the narcos to take advantage of them. Danilo, who was listening backstage, frowns and paces nervously as she finishes. The reporter tells Regia that the new song is great and she announces that her music is not for sale, it’s for the audience, before thanking the reporter and walking backstage.
• Danilo chides Laustela for changing his song but she did it partly for him, so the families of the dead don’t come back for revenge. She also wants the cartel leaders to call her, once they hear the song, so she can tell them how much she despises what they do, including El Dorado.
• Steve runs into Genesis outside of Furia and smiles when she remembers his name. She thinks he is there to see Ryan but he is there to see her and invite her to dinner tonight. Genesis smiles, teases him for taking so long, but accepts. Steve cheers but she warns him not to get too excited as Latin women…Before she can finish her sentence, Ryan comes and Genesis excuses herself but will see Steve later. Ryan smiles and then Steve asks why he needed to come. Ryan tells him that they are going to follow a dead man’s trail.
• Danilo asks Laustela why she wants to see El Dorado and she explains that she wants to demand he leave her alone. Danilo teases her for thinking it’s that easy but Laustela wants to tell El Dorado that she isn’t Estela Carrillo and hopes he will let her go. Danilo reminds her that El Dorado is everywhere, and probably knows the truth, though he warns her not to rock the boat lest she wants things to get worse. Laustela still wants to talk to El Dorado and Danilo finally relates and drags her along.
• In Ryan’s office, Steve tells him that his plan is dangerous. Ryan knows but if Lucio is not the real El Dorado, then he may be close and he wants to make a deal so he leaves Laustela alone, especially because it’s his fault that she is in this mess in the first place. Steve tells him that he has guts but he will go with him every step of the way.
• Rita cleans the kitchen and wonder why Mercy is not up yet. Augustin asks if she really wants to see her and Rita admits she doesn’t but she can’t be hiding from her either. Augustin reveals that Mercy slept with someone last night, though he doesn’t know with who, so she may be more relaxed and Rita hopes so as Mercy walks in and clears her throat. She asks Rita to bring her breakfast in bed, only for her, and leaves. Augustin laughs with Rita about the fact that Mercy looks tired.
• Steve and Ryan, now at Lucio’s restaurant, ask a server about him. The server tells him that Lucio is on vacation, though he doesn’t know when he’ll be back, before leaving. Ryan then sees one of Asdrubal’s men come down the stairs by the entrance and sees that he has a gun. He tells Steve to be alert and then goes to see where the men came out of. He stands by the entrance and then goes up the stairs after a few moments. He tries the first door at the foot of the stairs but finds it locked. He goes to a second door and then receives a text from Steve, who tells him the sicario is coming back. The sicario walks up the stairs, opens the first door but then receives a text and runs back without locking the door. Ryan notices this and runs to the first door. Inside is a makeshift janitor’s closet with a secret doorway leading downstairs. He goes down the spiral staircase, quietly, and finds Asdrubal’s torture chamber. He texts Steve to distract the sicario as long as possible and looks around. He then sees the computer that Asdrubal was on earlier and turns it on. He waits for the computer to boot up…
