Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Lunes 4/15/19, Episode 24: Confrontations


Alejandra opened the 55-gallon drum and coughed at the odor that came from it. She then called Quiróz to tell him she found the place where they held her father and for him to come right away. He told her to not touch anything and to get out of there. She said she couldn't because she didn't feel safe doing so.

Téllez called Alan, demanding twice the money he had paid the previous time. He threatened to talk if Alan didn't pay by the following morning. He finally told him he would have the money that night.

Quiróz and his men arrived and looked into the drums. They were sure they would find other clues in that location. He asked Alejandra how she found this place and who else knew about it. She told him and he told her that she was to go back to the office. She refused and he told her that if she didn't do as he said he would charge her with interfering in the investigation.

That night Sofia watched television with Camila and sighed about the difficult case at the office. Mónica's case. This somehow got Mama to get on her case about having children, a subject Sofia didn't want to get into.

Jaime arrived at Paula's house and Alejandra told him what she found. He was not happy that she was doing this. He told her to let the police do their job and not take risks. She told him what she found and implored him to tell no one. She could not sit around and do nothing. Paula came in and they said nothing about this in front of her. Alejandra told him about her plans to move in with Ricardo.

Roberto took his pick-up artist ways back to the bar and chatted up another woman. Same physical type as the last one. However, he said he would need to get back home because he was taking care of his father. This appealed to her.

El Ciego's two goons went to the disputed club to negotiate with the owner for a meeting with El Ciego. He was reticent at first, but finally agreed to meet with El Ciego the next day. They shook hands and the owner told his manager to treat them like guests. Drinks on the house and he would send over some girls. [This sounds like the calm before the storm].

Ricardo arrived at Paula's house and Jaime expressed his approval of the relationship. Paula suggested they celebrate.

Roberto went home alone to find Nicolas watching a film and having a drink. He poured one for Roberto and asked about whether he patched things up with Victoria. Of course he had not, but these things take time.

El Gringo was playing pool in the back room of the club when the owner came in to tell him about the approach from El Ciego. El Gringo wanted to have El Ciego come to his turf. The other guy didn't want any trouble.

The next morning Victoria was rather prickly with Roberto in the elevator as Gustavo was teasing him a little about taking off after work. Considering that she was wearing a dress meant to show him what he was missing out on...

Alejandra met with a new client, a young man named Claudio who just became a father of a married woman's child. She had been separated from her husband when they were seeing each other and decided to return to her husband because she did not consider Claudio ready to be a father. He wanted to see his child but she had told him to get out of her life. The baby had been registered as the husband's child. Alejandra asked whether he was absolutely certain he was the child's father; he said he was. She told him that due to presumptive paternity in this situation it will be complicated. He told her he had tried to speak with the baby's mother – Gabriela Robles – when she was in the hospital but she had refused to see him. Her husband was aware of the situation and this had come to blows. He did not understand why she had returned to him. He wanted to be a father to his child. Alejandra told him that this would not be an easy case. It would have to start with a DNA test and a court date. He looked a little impatient but seemed to understand.

Mónica paced in the visiting room until Juan entered. She was not happy to see him. He told her he was going to try to get her sentence reduced for her son's sake. He brought documents for her to sign. She refused at first. He told her that while she had to do time he was going to appeal for her. She asked him if he could do her a favor and deliver a letter to Rafael. He nodded. This time she looked as though she might cry for real.

Gus and Roberto went into the latter's office and they talked about Roberto's problem. He did want to have a serious relationship with Victoria but seems to have given up. Gustavo told him his moving day was coming up and that he would adapt. They agreed to have drinks at his new place.

Alejandra got her client to write down the address so the papers could be served. She also told him that she could not refuse the DNA test if there is a court order for one. She warned him that once this began there could be conflict between the mother and her husband.

Carlos and Alan looked at potential office space; the emptiness, the glass doors, and the white walls looked starkly science fiction. Carlos wanted a huge reception area; he wanted the place to be much bigger than Vega's. In fact he wanted to buy the location rather than rent it.

At the staff meeting Juan explained his reasons for taking up Mónica's appeal Adrián didn't entirely approve, but Alejandra and Gustavo supported him in this. Gustavo explained his latest case of the couple whose son sold their apartment under the power of attorney. Manuel considered this to be an abuse of trust and Ricardo said that the son had taken advantage of his parents. Gustavo wasn't sure how to proceed yet. He told his clients to think about it. Alejandra spoke up about Claudio's case. Adrián found this interesting, as did Roberto. Victoria said it would be complicated. Javier commented about people having no morals. Roberto told him to chill. Lorena commented that the parents don't realize that this could become a bigger problem for the child than for themselves. Alonso reminded her that the husband would be prepared and Alejandra told him not to worry; she will be prepared for this case.

Andres Camacho was playing with his daughter when his mother-in-law Aurora arrived. She and Violeta, her daughter, were going shopping. Violeta said she would get her car, but he insisted she take his camioneta because it would be safer. She finally took the keys and kissed her daughter goodbye. Aurora seemed to have a sense of forboding and her goodbye to her son-in-law was somewhat curt. The little girl said goodbye as her father picked her up. As soon as the door was closed he began tickling her.

Manuel spoke up, saying he's learned a lot already in his first week. They ended the meeting and Alonso asked Ricardo, Roberto, and Victoria to stay. He wanted to talk to them about Alejandra.

El Ciego was preparing another several bags of little green pieces of paper to bring to Carlos as his goons updated him on their meeting at the club. He was a little suspicious.

Alonso told the others he wanted to have Alejandra become a partner. Carmen said she would get the documents ready. All agreed to this. When Alonso left the conference room Ricardo told the others that he and Alejandra would be moving in together. Both were happy for them. Victoria made a cutting remark about the breakup before leaving. Ricardo asked Roberto about it and he said “Drama, hormones, jealousy, a bit of each.” [Roberto, you have really backslid now.]

El Ciego said that he didn't believe it would be this easy. He then told El Chivo he was to get there first and El Cuervo shortly after. The table near them was full of assault rifles and other high-powered weapons.

Roberto and Ricardo talked, ending with Roberto asking him to join him and Gustavo that night for drinks.

Alejandra updated Sofia and said she was backing off and letting the police to their job.

Andres and his daughter were sitting at the table with her coloring book and he sent her to get her crayons. After she left the room he went to the phone, phoned the police, and reported his car stolen.

Violeta and Aurora were discussing upcoming weekend plans when the police stopped them. The officer got their ID cards, called it in, and told them they were under arrest for theft.

I'll look forward to watching this later UA. Thanks for the recap. Ah the endless teasing between Roberto and Veronica...you captured it perfectly with this:

. Considering that she was wearing a dress meant to show him what he was missing out on...

All these gals seem to be wearing that kind of dress. Cocktail wear to the office instead of a suit. Although given the depressing, over-large outfits they put on Alejandra last season.... Remember some of those? Like tent dresses.

Well, maybe this is an Anglo thing. I'm always surprised by the cleavage on display during the noticias also. Juarever! We're working on our Spanish dang it!
 

Alejandra doesn't feel safe LEAVING the dungeon, but she felt perfectly safe GOING INTO it??? That girl's a nitwit.

Thanks for the recap, UA. Hoping to hit the highlights later.
 

I worked in Hispanic ad agencies for seven years and my colleagues didn't quite dress like this. They wore proper business suits for client meetings but were a little more casual the rest of the time.

Definitely had flashier jewelry, too, and I had a good time with that. One of my bosses actually commented on my earrings, that she had never seen me wear any pair more than twice. Now on some occasions she could out-slut Daniela Castro in LQLVMR.

As to working on our Spanish, that was my story and I'm sticking to it. But I do love the gorgeous men on these programs.
 

Thanks, Urban.

The husband having his wife arrested for driving his car. Seems to me if she's legally his wife that won't stand up in court, unless he bribes somebody.

ITA Ale's wardrobe is so much better this time around.
 

Where is a good lawyer (that understands Mexican law) when you need one??

I agree Niecie !!! Could this really be the way it is in Mexico, with the court system being overwhelmed by spouses driving a spouse's car??? No wonder the narcos have such liberty.

Oh how I miss the Mexico I lived in for years where the only thing I worried about was having a guy trying to feel the 'gringa' up. In general, they loved doing that and thought all American girls were, in general, 'easy'. Oh and whether or not Popocatepetl would blow up
 

It’s late, but thank you Urban. I’m still here. Your’re always here. For a while I wasn’t sure who the happy daddy was there at the end. It didn’t make any sense—to me or to his wife. What game is he playing? Does he want the law to get “rid” of a superfluous wife? What does he hope to gain? The two seemed to be in a “normal” marriage in the first scenes with them. Wondering what he’s hiding.....
 

I have my suspicions about Andres. It has to be something Valeria doesn't suspect. But what gets me is how Aurora isn't thinking right now. In the scene in which she came to the house and before Andres practically shoved the keys into Valeria's hand it looked like she had a really bad vibe about him.
 

Does anyone know why some of us have the "B" or "8"? for our profile picture instead of the Google Profile picture we saved? Just wondering....
