Amar a Muerte, 11/28/2018, Episode 20: Dead Battery? Flat Tire? Hijacked by 8 Goons?
Leonchi yells at the goons, “What do you want?” The main goon tells him that they are from Cartel de los Armenta and they want someone to pay for the article that was published today.
Labels: Muerte
Goon B calls Eva and tells her that they have Lucia. She asks who they are then guesses they are from the Cartel de los Armenta. He tells her she is correct and that they will be in contact. She asks how much it is going to cost her for them TO KEEP HER ! Ha She probably wanted to. Witch
MY REACTIONS & IMHO
I was disappointed that Leon-in-Chino didn't do the American Cowboy thing & whup the kidnappers. Looked to me like he cud have driven off -- Hi Ho Silver, Away. He shud've put the window down, grabbed the grenade & thrown it into a gangster car. But this is a telenovela where male protags are unlikely to be Clint Eastwoods.
I donno how U cud be a journalist in Mexico w/ all the Sicarios.
Valerio skinned? LOL. Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred; tie me kangaroo down.
"At Karla’s house, her father goes into her bedroom as she sleeps and notices all the money in her bag."
Is that money poker winnings? Is Karla's papa in this story?
They should have got Columbo for the inspector.
The actress playing Barbara is great. BTW, her greed shud get her killed. I donno what Barb cud do to earn 25%.
I don't suppose they are going to let us see Mateo put Eva in her place, a spanking or something unPC. I think Eva will have a flyin cow is she finds Mateo in flagrante w/ another moohair.
Long hand shake, becs he had been studying how to do handshakes by watching Trump shake hands w/ Kim Jong-un of N Korea.
As to the electrocution fabrication; seems that all the characters in Telenovelas lie all the way through & w/out lies there wud be little plot.
Lucia seemed to call out for Jacobo, as if Jacobo could save her.
I think of Renata as a "nice girl," reasonably attractive, but like somebody's sister, not a natural object of lust (in contrast w/ her roomy).
Willy is a contributer to a diffuse plot, a very unessential distraction thus far.
I was surprised that Eva got away w/ acting uppity w/ Alacrán. He already chloroformed & kidnapped her once.
Let me know if any1 ever hears anything significant from Silvina the Cook.
I think Jacobo told the goon he had been chauffer for 10 years or something to explain his knowledge. He talked too much.
Did Jacobo miss his chance by not telling the Goon how it was Johny Angel who wrote the hit piece?
Calling cops seems mostly something only a villain does. Like good guys never call cops.
They ended w/ another cliff hanger, like LeinChino is ready to spill his moth beans. Seems way too soon in plot for that. Maybe he will start to spill the beans & get interrupted.
Oh boy, pure KirbyJ there! Not sure Angelica would appreciate the comparison though.
Whew, these writers, ending with another omigawd cliffhanger that will leave us salivating for the next one. Is this what addiction is like? Guess so.
I will look forward to seeing Johny clench his sphincters and Eva looking stressed. And curious what Juli managed to do with that ugly dress she bought.
And although the inside of the Carvajal mansion is lovely, I find the outside absolutely tacky. I much prefer the home of Camillo. Both inside and out. It looks homey, lived in, warm and well-loved. The mansion looks cold and sterile although I like the fireplace.
Thanks Kirby. A riveting recap as always.
Karla’s Father is the fellow with the shotgun who confronted LeonChi at his gravesite early on when he was having a temper tantrum and shredding the flowers LuciHo had left there.
I THINK Barbara the Fake is the only one Beltino has confided in and pretends to believe him. That’s prob worth 25 percent.
“Lucia seemed to call out for Jacobo, as if Jacobo could save her.” I think it was either that or try to find Toto. I don't think we are in Kansas anymore Jocobo.
Silvina is mildly psychic. She immediately sensed something was up when ‘Jacobo’ showed up as the chofer. Then one time she saw Leon 1.0 when sher looked at LeonChi. She noticed right away that he munches on raw tomatoes like a donkey, and once noticed he smells like Leon 1.0. So she is more connected than Barbara the fake ever was.
Enoch, I would have luuurved to see Leonchi whoop them goon arses, but, you're right, no Lone Rangers in these TNs. Que pena!
And OMGoodness, we must be on the same wavelength because I though of Colombo too when Montilla was sharing his info with JohnyBeSkeered...that was SO Colombo-ish! JudtB, wait and see, you'll relate! I'm starting to like this TN more and more--two Colombos (Montilla and Camilo) to bring on the smiles.
I like Renata more and more too. She is such a down-to-earth girl and has the umph to tell off Willy.
So Eva went to meet Alacran and refused to do what she liked best. I think the only reason Alacran didn't retaliate was because of her threat to pull out from the money laundering. Terencio, the boss would not like it and Alacran would lose his stinger.
JudyB, Juli transformed the dress into a pretty nice blouse...I'd certainly wear it if it were given to me free :-) And ITA about the mansion, quite cold on the inside, but that just may be the impression the directors/writers want to give since there is so much coldness in that house. In fact, when Juli told Vale that the house was huge, Vale remarked that the house was a bit "cold."
Kirby, thanks for reminding us of all the "sensing" Silvina has done. Apparently she has some pretty good psychic abilities; and I think that she just might become quite integral in helping "Leon" convince the family who he really is and possibly even help El Chino with his plight to figure out his purpose in all of this. Maybe she should get the 10%!
Anon 7:10, thanks for the clarifications. The appropriate edits have been made.
And I think the most enjoyable part of last night was seeing Johny secretly sweating bullets when Colu....um..Monty told him about the finds in Baldy's wallet. This ongoing cat and mouse with those two is fun. Like watching Monty tighten the clamps down a half a turn per episode until funny collar boy finally explodes.
HahHah Kirby. Of course I didn't notice the cars at all. But I'll try and notice now that you've pointed it out.
Barbara is a big fraud and has a drinking problem but I like her. Maybe it's because the actress usually plays comic roles, but I have a soft spot for that old trickster and hope she can help Beltino cash in.
1) "I like Renata more and more too. She is such a down-to-earth girl and has the umph to tell off Willy."
umph? Why didn't she tell Willy she was not gonna be dumped suddenly who knows where. "I ain't getting out! Your gonna take me home. & if not, I've got a long hat pin in my purse! He will take her home. Willy is in no position to bully Renata, who cud send him to the carcel easily.
2) Edit? Is there anyway to edit one's posts? I see errors sometimes & don't know what to do but erase the whole thing & repost.
3) Attention Ye Women of the Feemale Species:
Are you attracted by a guy like Jacobo who cain't whup the villains or by a Clint Eastwood who grabs the grenade & yanks the gun away & says, Now you've made my day! Would you have found it attractive if Jacobo could have beat up / destroyed the villains? It is so telenovela to have a male protag who gets beat up. In fact, it is almost a necessity that the male protagonist get shot. Is that what MooHairs want to see?
4) Thanks for the defense of Silvina: The apodo suggested was Silverfish. Thanks for expanding on her possible relevance to the plot. I was thinking her as a time-filler method of repeating what we already saw in conversation (one of my pet peeves in Telenovelas).
5) "her BF's competition having Lucia." Kirby, are you saying that the gang that kidnapped Lucia is not the gang of Alacran?
6) Judy: Episode 20 (capitulo 20) was on YouTube yesterday, which I posted about with a link. Who knows how long it will be before Univision blocks it. 20 was on YouTube twice: once in full & once in 3 parts.
Of course the bullet damage is very temporary, & he is no worse for the ware apparently.
Enoch: Yup Alac, (Eva Squeeee) is the Sierra cartel or some such. (starts with S) But the article in the newsrag mentioned the Cartel of Armenta also, and Eva had not plied her whiz banging negotiating skills on them, 'cause she aint allowed by Alacran.
Nopis, no way to edit posts. That is the main reason you will find glaring typos in mine, especially right under a 'comment has been deleted by the author' post. After deleting a whole post and reposting after correcting typos, if I see even more, I just give up and hope people don't equate two finger typing ability with true recrapper talent.
For a second I thought Eva was going to laugh and say "You can have her!"
Would those goons freak out if they saw the bleeding moth?
When "Jacabo"comes back from this and sees Juliana is he going to lose it?
Per a comment from the end of yesterday's discussion, I think that Alacran probably is a person who can love animals and hate other humans. The rabbit is almost absurd, but I'm sure the authors chose rabbits because of their vulnerability.
And it was the Cartel de los Armenta that kidnapped Luci and Leonchi...they are the competition for the cartel that Alacran belongs to (Cartel de los Sierra).
I don't care too much for Clint Eastwood; I'm more of a Charles Bronson or Liam Neeson fan :-)
I donno who Liam Neeson is.
But my main question to the females is what kind of male protag is attractive to them?
I get the idea that a powerful man who frowns is more attractive to a woman than a Pat Boone toothpaste smile nice guy.
So are you attracted to the powerful quasi-omnipotent hero who ever beats up, outdraws, etc. the villains? Or do you prefer the weaker telenovela hero who gets captured, beaten & shot?
Do you find it believable that Lucia is attracted to Jacobo like she was a mama pitying her mistreated boy? Or should she have been smitten by a dashing, brave daring-do Errol Flynn?
JudyB--I missed the Mercedes, too, watching the dazzling blue eyes kinda looking at me. Then I noticed the bougainvillea growing over the roof. Yes, I'd much rather live in Camilo's house--and based on my age, would be quite happy with Camilo, too.
Urban--as to Jacobo freaking out when or if he sees Juli--it's Leon inside him. I don't think he's ever met Juli. She, OTOH, might see some resemblance to her putative father, El Chino, if she looks closely. My guess is they won't cross paths--yet.
Now we know why Luci and Leonchi were kidnapped together. She will have to minister to his wounds while they are together--cementing their future relationship. Nice move, writers--and for Johny to immediately jump to the conclusion that there was some collusion between them was brilliant. He's such a dodo. Tell me, does a VIP in the Carvajal empire carry his own notebooks to and fro? No, he would order someone to bring them to him.
Someone mentioned the last time Montillo was doing some questioning how much Columbo-like he was. Spot on. Someone in direction has been watching YouTube or Cable.
I didn't catch that Silvina was the one experiencing the deja vu. Where would she have heard Juli's voice? Anyway, it was spooky.
After watching the lovelies attending El Alacran's party--they were there for the male species who watch the show? Then I saw Eva sashay down the hall and figured, rightly, that she probably belonged with that crowd, mooHair or not.
Wasn't he still El Chino in that scene and they were fleeing their trailer and El Alacran's men?
Beltino would remember them, but they wouldn't recognize his body.
Transmigration is complicated!!
Aha. The old "nurse & patient fall in love" routine. Aimeé (Ana Colchero) tried it w/ Juan del Diablo in Corazon Salvaje, w/ no success.
Carrying around ur own notebooks? He might not want someone reading his stuff.
Columbo? Lets see Montillo head for the door, then suddenly turn back & say:
O, BTW, my wife is cooking spaghetti tonight, do you mind if I borrow some of your hot pepper I saw on your desk? & one thing bothers me: All these bodies keep turning up with moth manchas. I notice that you keep moth spray on your shelf.
Johny: Yeah, we have a new advertiser for our rag, Real Moth Kill. I've been trying it here cause I keep a spare wool suit in the closet, & Lucia doesn't like the smell of moth balls.
Colum-tillo: That explains it. But why would the widow Lucia be spending so much time in your office?
Johny: Its all business.
Colum-tillo: That explains it. A company like this has a lot of business.
The lovelies in the background:
They do seem to specialize in superfluous scanties in the background on Hispanic TV. If a singer is belting out a song, they wanna have some scenery of scandalous scanties scampering.
Sometime after the girls get to the shelter Jacobo goes to Mexico with the coyote.
He knows them, but he might not recognize them fast enough.
Woof
I have a sinking feeling that we will need to know that eventually.

So if your DVR misses Thursday's episode, you should find it on YouTube in 3 parts.
