Deb, thanks again, you covered everything. I also see this whole episode having a theme about putting on faces.

Yes, Vanessa is going on a hunger strike, and she tells Jota she can die of hunger. He didn't think of this. He also probably hasn't realized this would fulfill the curse, maybe next episode he'll start getting some common sense.

I could be wrong, but didn't Titi tell Mariana in a past episode that maybe they could change the baby's name from Catalina if it's his? Maybe not.

I'm encouraged by Sandra's telling CataM that miracles do happen.

They're so into flashbacks, I think some of them were not even in past seasons, they were shot now, to look as if they were a while ago, like Albeiro and Hilda in New York, looked as if they had their current hairstyles (but I could be wrong). It's so cute that Hilda always wears the same type of flowery dresses and wedge shoes, has been for 20 years. But that look between hermosa CataG and elegante Albeiro was unmistakable.

I think the cops should have arrested Yesica as soon as they exited the house, now it's too late, have to get a search warrant for the clinic. Also, it wasn't too hard for Calvo to elude Francisco. It also seems strange that Calvo is looking at 20-something faces to put on Yesi's 40 something body, but I guess that doesn't matter in a show where all the actresses are really about the same age (as Deb remarked in the past, the actress playing CataM is 33, the one playing CataG is 35, and the one playing Hilda is 46). So we can suspend our sense of disbelief for a while (as we've been doing with all the other unlikely things on this show).


 

sin-senos3

thanks Hombre!

as always I love the color you bring to the story.

hmm, I seem to remember the Hilda/Albeiro flashbacks as being from the start of season 2, the tram I think is in Bogota where they went to catch the flight, and the other is in Miami, where they went to testify against Yessica, who escaped before the trial.

I read an article a while back about the writer looking for a new Yésica since Majida Issa was moving on after this season, he offered the job to María Fernanda Yépez, the original Yesica from Sin Senos No, but she couldn't do it, Majida is sure leaving some big shoes to fill, did you know Catherine Siachoque is her aunt, through her uncle Miguel Varoni.

 

sin-senos3

Deb, interesting about Catherine and Majida, didn't know that (Miguel is a bit older of course, 53).

Thanks also for reminding me about those scenes in Bogota and Miami.
One thing we all know is that the writers are making full use of flashbacks in these last few weeks.
 

sin-senos3

Thanks, deb, once again. I liked "CataG and Albeiro fall into each others eyes". Yikes, telenovelas are SO silly. I tell all my Spanish speaking friends (most of whom are too hoity toity to watch them) that I do it for language assistance. But, of course, I get hooked on the plots just like everyone else.

Anyway, it's very silly that, just because they dressed up for the wedding, lust breaks out anew between CataG and Albeiro.

I'm pretty bored with CataM's pre-death grief.

I don't think you can take a face from a corpse and transplant it. Again, I read about the procedure in this month's National Geographic, and part of the transplant is attaching living blood vessels of the donor to the recipient's living blood vessels.

Please, please, let something go wrong with Calvo's kidnapping of this lovely young woman to be murdered.

Interesting item about the Yésica actress being related to Varoni.

Hombre, you're absolutely right. Those two agents could easily have stopped Yésica and Calvo as they exited the house. Now, its probably not going to work.
 

ss hay..


DEB...

thanks a bunch!!!... THE TEA GIRL WILL BE YESSICA'S new face ,she can infiltrate TEA!!??

BETS$$$$
 

Falco

I will do a recap tonight.
 

FALCO – Capítulo 7, Parte 1 de 3

Very different episode than the earlier ones. Hope I can do it justice. For some reason my DVR randomly recorded the first episode a couple of days ago and I realized something. The old car he drives was his father’s. It was parked at his father’s house the day he went there for Paola’s second birthday party and Falco was helping his father work on it.

Also, I saw Bravo say that he saw the bank cop, Julián Reyes, shoot Falco. But later on I’m pretty sure they said that the bank cop died, I thought they said in the same shootout 23 years ago. So, if Reyes was Falco’s killer, why did the conspiracy guys also shoot him?

So, another amazing coincidence happens. Falco is driving along some deserted road at night, speeding. He’s brooding about what’s happened and has another flashback about the shooting that put him in a coma. Just then he imagines he sees Bravo in the middle of the deserted road. He brakes and then brakes harder when he sees a real child of 6 or 7 years of age. The car does a 180.

Falco wakes up in an ambulance. The paramedic tells him he was in a car crash. As usual not taking good advice, Falco gets out of the ambulance and lights a cigarette. Oddly, the paramedic asks him if he’s been having trouble sleeping. And then the guy sells him some opiates for 500 pesos ($26).

Falco sees a little girl with some blood on her clothes and yells for the paramedics. The child is named Emma, and her mother Aurelia arrives. She asks the little girl where her brother is, and the child doesn’t know. The paramedic tells Falco the blood is not that of the child; she’s fine.

Falco calls Tenoch to pick him up and that there was an accident.

We see Felipe Mares waiting outside until he sees Carolina leave. He goes in to get some clothes, but Carolina has come back because she left her phone. She tells him she’s sorry. But one thing is to expect your husband to awake from a coma and another is when he actually does. It’s hard. Felipe: “Yes, and it’s hard after so many years to be neither your husband nor a father to Paula nor anything at all."

Aurelia tells Falco that her child was being cared for by her older brother, Martín when she had a night shift at a restaurant. She doesn’t know where he is. Emma said that some friends of Martín arrived; they took a ride in the truck, and these friends were smoking something that smelled bad.

On the way back to the city, Falco and Tenoch do some typical male ribbing of each other. Falco asks Tenoch if he’s hooked up yet with that fatty from high school or if he’s still a virgin. Tenoch: “No, i started up with your sister.” Tenoch says: “A mí se me hace” (he has a feeling) that I’ll remain single. That thing about a mortgage, a little dog, and a baby doesn’t seem like what I want." Falco: “OK, but the only ones at your funeral will be your mother and I!”
 

FALCO – Capítulo 7, Parte 2 de 3

Falco yells at Tenoch to stop the car. Somehow he has seen Aurelia’s truck back in the trees. There’s a lot of blood. And then Falco finds the corpse of Martín’s friend Fabián Díaz. They say that he was in the same class to be an electronics technician as Martín. Tenoch adds that last week these buddies se agarraron a golpes (got into a fistfight) and the only one who could separate them was Adriana, Fabíán’s girlfriend.

The parents of Fabián arrive. Outside the morgue Fabián’s father tells Falco that he and his son had a big argument. He wanted his son to join him in the taxi business. But they argued because Fabián and Martín wanted to irse a mojados (cross the border as wetbacks) leave their studies, and work for a year in Las Vegas.

Falco comments that these two were friends since they were toddlers and doubts Martín would have killed him. Eva says Falco would be surprised how many friends betray each other these days. And, just then, Falco sees Bravo walk by in the corridor!

We see Falco take one of the opiates and wash it down with alcohol. He begins to have hallucinations. He imagines he’s in his old apartment. He sees Felipe kiss Caro at the door. He imagines himself, his current self – almost bald – approach Paola in her crib, lift her up and kiss her. Then he turns to see Paola grown up. Someone is knocking at the door. Paola tells him not to open it. He imagines Bravo pointing a gun and he Falco telling him to stop.

The next morning Falco asks Bravo if he’s found the file about his shooting. Bravo says he’s working on it. Falco asks about his shrink, Sonia. He hasn’t seen her in a while. Bravo says she’s taking a couple of days off. [This seems ominous to me, considering that she found a bug in her mouse last episode.]

A phone rings in the police HQ. It turns out to be the phone in the evidence box and belongs to Fabián. It’s Martín. Falco asks him where he is. We hear Adriana in the background. “They’re here! Let’s go!” The computer in the office locates where the call has come from. Shots ring out.

At the crime scene we see Adriana Morales, age 18, being wheeled out. She’s been shot but is alive. Some bystander recorded a guy rapping in the street and captured the shooting in the background.

An undercover cop is introduced named Corpus. He says that the guys who shot at Adriana and Martín were the same guys involved in a shootout between gangs two weeks ago. Corpus says these guys belong to the gang run by one El Romano. [Since his real name is César Augusto Sánchez, we can see where The Roman comes from.]

Falco thinks that Martín and his friends saw something two weeks ago that they shouldn’t have.

Falco says what seems to be his theme song lately: Algo no me cuadra. [Something isn’t adding up for me.] He says that these guys could easily have just killed Fabián, if he were simply a witness. It seems to him that they wanted information.
 

FALCO – Capítulo 7, Parte 3 de 3

Falco is back in the pensión and reads part of one of the reports on his wall that reads thus:
Juan Pablo Bravo and Julián Zepeda concluded the investigation after 5 days due to the evidence of an anonymous witness.

While Falco is at the police station he gets a call from Aurelia, who says she knows where her son his. Falco doesn’t tell anyone where he’s going.

When he arrives at a deserted factory where Martín has been holed up, Martín gripes about their bringing a cop. Falco tells him to cut the crap. He says that the police can protect him and his family, but he has to tell him the truth. Martín says that he, Adriana, and Fabián saw El Romano involved in a shootout and that El Romano killed several people.

At Police HQ Falco suggests that Corpus, the undercover, take them to El Romano. Caballero is nervous about going there.

At El Romano’s hideout Falco says that, in his time, the crooks did their thing, the cops did theirs, and they managed to keep the peace. He goes on to say that El Romano killed an innocent student and wounded another. Falco leans forward: “You’re after Martín. It is a problem for you that there is a witness to your murders." Falco tells him that, if anything happens to Martín, the cops will go after him immediately.

El Romano: Mira, viejito, tienes huevos. ( Listen, old guy, you have balls. I’ll give you that.) “You think I kill people because they saw me shoot someone? You’d better talk to Martín and ask him to tell you the truth.”

The next scene is Falco grabbing up Martín, furious. “You lied to me!” Tenoch calls just then. “Su príncipe azul y sus amigos” (your Prince Charming and his friends) bought tickets to Las Vegas and reserved a suite in one of the most expensive casinos. The conclusion of Tenoch: “They robbed El Romano.”

Falco grabs up Martín. “¡Eres un pendejo! Does Las Vegas and a suite there remind you of something? Where’s the money?” Martín replies that it’s right here, $10 million pesos ($523,000). Martín says that, so far, they’ve only paid for the airline tickets.

Just then shots ring out. El Romano is there. Falco and Martín peer out the window and see El Romano shoot one guy, a friend of Martín’s who apparently led them there. The next person who will be shot is his mother.

Falco and Martín go out. Falco puts down his gun. Inside the abandoned factory we see some subordinate counting the money.

El Romano points the gun at Falco’s forehead. Para que se te quite lo gallito. (So as to take away your cocksure attitude.) The trigger is pulled, there's a click because there’s no bullet in the chamber. El Romano is taunting him. But we see him load it and point it at Falco’s forehead again. Falco closes his eyes, resigned. Just then Tenoch and the rest of the cops arrive. Some thugs are shot, but it looks like El Romano is going to jail.

Sitting on some steps, Tenoch tells Falco that Eva is angry with him.

Falco is back at his room. Another opiate washed down with alcohol. Another nightmare and more flashbacks. Falco wakes up with a start, is angry at first, and then starts to cry. He calls Sonia, his shrink, and gets her machine. Desperate, he swallows a fistful of the opiates with alcohol and curls up in a fetal position.
 

Falco

thanks so much novelera, such a wonderful recap!

hmm, I seem to remember him picking up the car at the warehouse place where his stuff is stored, but they do kind of just throw stuff out there.

also didn't the medic refer to the pills as opioids which originally referred to synthetically produced drugs as opposed to opiates which are derived from the opium poppy, (someone had to explain this to me once but I guess opioids refers to everything now) and they are much stronger and more addictive, I didn't like that Falco was going this route, and that handful he took at the end should kill him, right?

yep alcohol and pills are what makes Diabla crazy in Sin Senos.

and when he woke from his drug dream, didn't he grab his gun and shoot the imaginary Bravo?, no one where he lives seemed to have minded.

this double agent guy throws me too, wouldn't Roman know he is a cop?

 

Falco

Thanks, Novelera. Gees, it was almost 3 a.m. when you posted. Hope you’re having a labor-free day.

I'm beginning to think Falco has a death wish downing opiates with booze.

So the young shrink took off right after seeing her mouse was bugged. Surely we haven't seen the last of her.

Feeling bad for Mares.
 

Falco

And thanks right back at you, Niecie. The blogger site operates on Eastern Daylight Time, at least until it goes back to Eastern Standard Time.

Since I'm in California, it was just after midnight when I posted, so not that late for this night owl.

Yes, the pills make me nervous, but this short-term novela was advertised as either 14 or 15 episodes, forget which. So, Falco has 7 or 8 more murders to solve, not to mention getting to the bottom of the police conspiracy - at least I think there is one that involves the cops letting whoever killed the retired Secretary of some bureaucracy get off. Or maybe the cops themselves killed him. Anyway, he's not going to die that soon.

The most hopeful thing is that the young shrink was frightened and took some days off. If she yelled at someone about the bug in her mouse, what happened to her could be more sinister. I hope she comes back. I didn't like her at first, but I think she's helping Falco. AND, he called her when he was in distress!

deb, thanks for the info on opiods/opiates. I certainly never knew the difference. But since the paramedic/drug dealer, IIRC, called them opiates, I went with that.

deb, the car was indeed in that storage space. But, having re-watched part of the first episode, they showed a happy Falco at his daughter's birthday party, held at his father's house. His dad told him something wasn't running right about the 80's era car. Falco bent over the hood, fussing with something, and his dad started up about how superior the army was to the police. And Falco just laughed at him. So, my theory is that the car WAS his father's; but, when the old man got dementia, someone put the car in that storage garage. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's kind of cool having him drive around in a vintage car, so why not?

And, yes, I believe Falco did fire his gun. I had forgotten that. Maybe gunfire in D.F. is more common than in big cities in the US. D.F. is what most Mexicans call Mexico City, which is like Washington, D.C. in that it is a federal district; i.e., Distrito Federal. You can see why they'd shorten it from La Ciudad de México!
