Corazón Que Miente, Week 14 (9/3/18) – Thursday Update: Mariela is Missing
Episode #68 (If I counted correctly) Some scenes combined
where it makes sense.
*Zanabria and some other cops break up the shootout (well, Rog shooting out Ed in broad nightlight). Ed falls into the gutter. Rog runs out of bullets and runs. Rog reloads his clip and clips Zan in his shooting arm. Rog climbs over a fence and slips away.

*A director from Quadrum hands an unbelieving Mariela the
majority shares in Quadrum. Dem is no longer the head of the company. No he can't tell her who is behind it. She will
definitely check into this farce.
*Ren calls Fab to tell him how furious Al is at his dad for
stopping his wedding to Mari. Now Al wants to kill him and is desperately
looking for Mari. She tells Fab not to worry, though. When things calm down a bit, she’ll
get Al back into line. She also mentions that Sara ran Rafie off. Rafie even
tried to blackmail Ren for money.
*As soon as the Quadrum rep has left, Dem calls Mari. He
tells her this isn’t over yet. He wants to meet. It would be in her best
interests. She rebuffs him and says she’ll go to the police. Dem asserts how the
police are all on his side. He tells her he has more cards up his sleeve that
will sink Leo. He tells her what she must do to clear Leo’s name forever. In
return for her signing the shares back to him, he’ll give her the gun. Then she
can tell Al whatever she wants to. He names the time and place. She agrees to
meet him. Mari immediately calls Leo and tells him the where and when of the
“meet” but she’s coming right home.
*The Feds arrive at the Manse to pick up Dem. They search
the house and grounds, but can’t find a trace of Dem. The household holds their
collective breaths for it to go either way. The Feds don’t tell Al why there is
a warrant for Dem. They leave empty handed.
*Clever Dem grabs Mari on her way home and chloroforms her
with a hankie. Did she think he could be so stupid as to actually meet her in
the appointed place, he tells her as she passes out. Dem puts Mari in a dark
place, bound hand and foot and blindfolded. (We learn later it’s a housing construction project for poor people—but did
you all see the complex? I would tag that as an historic site, but ni modo, it’s
just a telenovela.)
*Al calls Leo and gets an update. Mari should have been home
and Dem trapped in the park. Leo tries to call Mari. Dem silences her phone,
pockets it and goes upstairs, locking Mari in. He sits down at a table. He’s
laid in fiber and booze and maybe some Nutella for a long, drawn-out affair.
*Leo calls the police asking about Dem’s arrest. No news. He
tries Mari again. No answer.
*Back at the Manse, Al sends Sara to bed. Santi follows. Al tells Ren he will
stay up, but wants to be alone. Leo calls him. There’s no news on Mari or Dem.
The police didn’t find Dem at the park. Al calls Dr. Ovalles. He doesn’t know
where she is and suggests calling Cris or Liso.
*Dem manhandles Mari and takes her blindfold off. He states
his conditions for her release: sign over the shares back to him, swear the testimony was
not falsified and he is not at fault for anything. He adds that his brother Dan’s
testimony is not enough to incarcerate him. Mari refuses to cooperate. He
replaces the blindfold. Preciado calls Dem in a panic. There’s an arrest order
for him now. Dem tells him what to do. He tells Mari they’ll talk tomorrow.
*Al and Leo show up at Preciado’s office and try to rough
him up to confess to his collaboration with Dem. Some officers remove Leo and
Al from on top of Preciado and show them out.
*Rafie had to spend the night in her car. The next morning
she goes to Rog’s hidey-hole, but he paid up and left. She can’t pay for herself
to stay so she leaves.
*Al and Leo retire to the manse, waiting for news of Mari.
They have a hug. It’s a new father-son bonding moment. (At least Leo doesn’t
have to change diapers.)
*Dem returns to where he’s holding Mari. She needs water but
refuses to sign.
*The fiber cable installer meets with Sara out in the garden. He hands her a flash
drive. He assures her it has everything she had doubts about and stands by to
assist. Ren watches the transaction and furrows her pretty little brow.
*Cris and Julio put Pad Dan in a wheelchair. They tell him
everything is wrapping up. Pad Dan asks to go out.
*Rafie goes to Ed’s place—the last place she wanted to go.
She sees the police and listens to him giving his account of what happened the
night before on the street. She has to explain her presence—she’s the wife of
his friend and partner, etc. etc. Rafie tells the police that Rog may have gone
to hide in some housing project where he assisted with the construction.
*Dem leers at Mari and moves towards her. (Commercial
break, naturally.) Mari screams. We see her upper part. We can’t see Dem. Then we see his shadow, playing with
his gun, no not that gun, the one
with killer bullets. He finally brings her some cereal and water and puts it
just out of reach. He shoves the doc she has to sign towards her and leaves.
When he returns, he kicks the water over and locks her back in.
*Al and Leo are joined by Dr. Ovalles, Liso and Cef at the
Manse. Then Julio and Cris wheel in with the Pa in tow. Everyone is pleased,
except Ren. Her brain is trying to figure out the unfigurable. Sara is the
happiest of all. Leo tells them the whole story of trying to protect Dan from
the assassins who wanted to re-assassinate him so he wouldn’t talk. Leo spits
out the names—Dem and Rog. No one is surprised. Dan is the one who tells the group about Dem killing Lucía. Sara has a mini-meltdown They
give Mari her due in helping to save him, but now Mari is missing.
*Most of the men leave to strategize in the garden. Al
remembers that Mari’s phone had a locator on it. Off he and Leo go and the
others to their respective assignments. Lety tries to help, but it’s inconclusive. Mari
might not have registered or downloaded the app.
*Sara takes charge of Pad Dan to settle him comfortably into
one of their guest rooms. Sara tells him that she ran Rafie off.
*Fab gets a call from an angry vendor. He wants his money or
he’ll sue. Fab asks for a few days since Ed is out of town. Immediately after
hanging up Fab gets a visit from some housing official with complaints about
the firm for many irregularities. If they don’t answer the charges, it might
bring a criminal action against them.
*Rog is hiding out behind some wall while the police are
prowling around. He calls Dem and they have words, accusing each other of
various betrayals. Neither can help the other. That’s it for them.
Fab hands Ren a document that Al has to sign or the whole
embezzlement scheme falls apart. On top of that, Luci is squeezing him for more
money. Ren, in a moment of clarity, feels it would be better to fugeddaboutit
and run for the hills. He tells her she’s crazy and to hold on for a few more
days. The account where Al’s money will go is all set up.
*Preciado calls Marta and tells her to flee.
*Mari is still writhing on the floor and screaming.
*Ant calls Santi. They meet for lunch. Ant tells him the
Renata in his house is not Renata. Cara de impactada de Santi. (They sure know
where to leave us. Must see TV tomorrow.)

Yikes!!! As Leonardo would say -- and did say, in the previous episode -- Muchas noticias de golpe! Can't wait to watch. (And I can't believe they fit all that in one episode...)
Thank you for your recap, Anita, and welcome back to The Patio.
Ren was doing a good job of hiding her face while the police were at Chez Ferrer.
She must take some comfort in knowing that she is a simple con artist, while the clan Ferrer are all sorts of BSC.
Interesting that Dem hasn't put a sock into Mari's mouth, with all her yelling "ayudame".
Looks like she might could get up on her own two feet and maybe bunny hop out of there.
Perhaps the fiber optic cable guy really was assigned to bug Renata's room?
Does the box of "Fibre" at Dem's hideout count as product placement? If he goes to jail and they withhold his daily fiber, the guy might reeeeally suffer. Hhhmmmmm..... ;-)

Thank you Anita.
I noticed the fiber cereal before any
Thing else on the table. He must have went grocery shopping. Gotta keep them
Bowels moving while on the run, Lol.
If fake renata isn't real renata where is The real ren? And when did all this come about? Wait, ant did hire a PI, thats how he found out about The mess Quadrum is in. And all the other messy
Illegal crap thats been goin on at dem
-wit's company.
Ed is by far the sorriest man Ive ever seen on a tn. He crys at the drop of a hat. Does he know rog is the one that killed his daughter yet? Well at least he Owned up to roadkilling rog's face.
I think that if Mari starts to think she could probly free herself. Her hands are tied in Front. Nobody ever said that demwit was smart. If he was
He'd think "I better not tie the hands
In front, she could untie herself and
Get away". But its just as well cuz she's not thinkin about undying knots.
Of course tomorrow is yet to come.
Why was fake ren hiding her face from the cops? They weren't lookin for her.
I'm glad they're moving fast. I want to see the shock when they find out Dr
Mari is Antonio's hija.
Anita this was splendid.

Nina - LOL "I think that if Mari starts to think she could probly free herself. Her hands are tied in Front."
I know, right? Mari is wearing her own telenovela beanie hat.
Ren's face is probably on some "Wanted" posters down at the jail or on the intertubes.

Thanks Anita. I felt like the action stalled a little bit with those repeated scenes of Mariela yelling Ayudame and Auxilio. Sigh. But Only two more days to go. Hoping to see at least ONE wedding, if not more.
Taking a moment to reflect on Mari's predicament, it seems to me that Antonio was really responsible. He wouldn't let the Quadrum official tell Mari who was behind this "present" she received, but he had no problem mentioning her by name to Dem--twice--that he was going to turn over his majority shares to her, because he felt like it. OTOH, maybe Dem would have chloroformed and sequestered Ant, while only Denise would have been desperate to find him. The story had to bring Al and Leo together through a common cause.
We'll see if we have to suffer with Mari another whole episode tomorrow. (I hope not.)

Thank you, Anita.
This is moving along very nicely.
Too bad it is took so long for them all to realize that Mariela is MIA.

Jarifa--I think Leo realized right away when she never came home and didn't answer his calls. He probably didn't know what to do about it, considering he knew Preciado was in Dem's pocket and not sure of Zanabria. Only Mari, Cef and Liso know Zan is ok. Leo asked everyone not to say anything to Carmen so as not to worry her and that's why they told her Mari was called away to an impromptu medical conference. Ya, and I bet she believed that one.
Wow, Anita, that was a corker! And you didn't miss a trick. I'm glad you're on board for ultimos -- your lively and detailed writing style is much better suited to action-packed wrapups than my pithy bullets.
I loved the visual of Dem standing behind the bars of the gate while he talked to Rog on the phone. Foreshadowing for sure...
Which of you sassy comadres recommended LA CASA DE LAS FLORES? I started watching on Netflix this week, and it's WONDERFUL. Great acting, great dialogue, beautiful set design, and lots of laughs. Why can't they all be like that?

Thank you, Anita, for a wonderful recap. I especially enjoyed the following lines:
"(We learn later it’s a housing construction project for poor people—but did you all see the complex? I would tag that as an historic site, but ni modo, it’s just a telenovela"
"It’s a new father-son bonding moment. (At least Leo doesn’t have to change diapers.)"
"Then we see his shadow, playing with his gun, no not that gun, the one with killer bullets".
What an eventful episode it was. This telenovela introduced us to the worst galans ever, but as far as plot developments are concerned I am totally satisfied-never a dull moment and not nearly as many beanie moments as I expected it to have.
Although, I do wonder why on earth would Rafie need to sleep in a car? She worked in management position in Quadrum for decades, surely she was smart enough to put aside a decent amount of money. And I don't believe for a moment that knowing Dem, she would have had a joint bank account with him. Her being too broke to get a hotel room defies any logical explanation.
And where do telenovela villains get chloroform, which is a controlled substance and is difficult to get hold of?!
"Does the box of "Fibre" at Dem's hideout count as product placement?" Doris, I was puzzled by this too. As absurd as it may sound, I think it really is a product placement. I googled it, and I think this brand really exists( I found a picture of a serial named Fibre 1 which looked quite similar to the one we saw on CQM, although I am not hundred percent sure it's the same one).
I wonder what was the hidden message here? "Our villains feed their captives Fibre, and you?" ?; "With Fibre you will enjoy your kidnapping!"; " Fibre- and your captives will last longer!". Totally crazy, but it might .
Demian must be completely out of his mind to think that forcing Mariella to sign those papers will somehow benefit him. It's a clear case of duress and would never ever hold in court, regardless of whether Mariella makes it out alive or not.

That's a good one, Doris.
I wonder if in the next installment we will get a split screen showing Dem and Mariella eating Fibre, a captive and a captor, so different yet united in their enjoyment of this delectable bowl of goodness.

OMG you guys are so funny. And I'm glad Anita pointed out the Fibre, or I never would have noticed it.
I almost named Friday's episode a variation of Doris', "Fibre..it's what keeps you going," but it wasn't featured. I was sure it would. Recap will be up in a couple of hours. There was a lot going on.
I decided the Quarter-Finals and the Semi-Finals deserve front page treatment. So, look for a fresh page today and Monday. Blue Lass and I will decide what to do about Tuesday, Sep 11.
According to my on-line guide, Que Bonito Amor starts right away on Wednesday, Sep 12.

"Quarter-Finals and the Semi-Final" - you're too funny, Anita. As for Wednesday, just wait and see what it deserves. Sometimes those Por Fins are duds.
