Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Lunes 4/8/19, Episode 19: Mothers
El
Ciego dropped in on Carlos at the office and got the good news that
El Chivo was freed, but it would cost him. Carlos tried to explain
that they were lucky this time but he could not guarantee that this
success would happen every time. El Ciego wasn't taking this.
Victoria
sat around her apartment, thinking about the last time she and
Roberto dined together.
Alejandra
and Ricardo declared their love for each other, saying that nothing
would separate them now. We'll see, as these are often ominous
words. The following morning he talked about finding a new
apartment, one that would be theirs. He wanted her to go with him
for the search. They seemed to go for Round 2 (or more).
Sofia
and Victoria met in the health club, where they worked out together.
Adrián
looked over documents and got the clerk to make copies for him.
Gustavo
went to court for David Aguirre and explained that he had complied
with all the court requirements but that his ex (Valeria) was
preventing him from seeing his daughter. She immediately stood up
and denied having done this, saying that it wasn't her fault that he
daughter didn't want to see her father. The judge rapped for
silence, then had Gustavo continue. He said that his client had
always had a good relationship with his daughter, which provoked the
ex's lawyer to get up and say that the child had expressed a wish to
be away from her father. Gustavo then said that they should have a
psychologist determine the truth. Opposing counsel whispered to his
client, then said that the child is a minor who required a mother's
care and therefore could not see her father. Gustavo submitted
documents stating that his client hadn't seen his daughter in four
months. Opposing counsel said that without bad faith on his
client's part Sr Aguirre was permitted to see his child at school
activities, etc., which provoked an explosive objection from Gustavo.
The judge rapped his gavel and told him to respect the court.
Gustavo apologized to the judge.
Roberto
dropped in on Ricardo in his office to hear his good news about
Alejandra. Since he was mostly not his usual cheerful self, Ricardo
got him talking about what went wrong with himself and Victoria.
Ricardo finally offered to talk to her, but Roberto said not to
bother. Adrián called with good news, that they have a summons out
for Mónica. The two headed out post haste to get Juan and go with
Sonia to Mónica's house.
Gustavo
requested that his client be granted custody if his ex refused to
comply with the court decision in place. Valeria got up to say “You
can't do this. You can't take away my little girl!” Gustavo said
that she should not risk losing her daughter. Valeria's lawyer said
that this was a mistake and Gustavo pointed out that his client had
dutifully and punctually paid the required child support and
respected his visitation schedule. Valeria's lawyer asked for time
for them to work out an agreement. Gustavo told the court that he
had tried that and it had not worked. They could not count on
Valeria keeping her word. The judge asked Valeria's lawyer if he had
anything else to say in her defense. He said that a girl is better
off with her mother because they are both female. That her father
doesn't know Jack about raising a girl. Gustavo said this was
irrelevant; his client was a good father who would not take the child
away from her mother. Valeria's lawyer asked the judge to allow his
client to have custody and said that this incident will not be
repeated. The judge told them to sit and he would deliver his
decision. After quoting the law citations he granted custody to
David, with modification TBD of child support and regarding
visitation schedule for Valeria.
Adrián
went to Sonia's office to give her a copy of the charges that Mónica
has made against Dr Lara. She had accused him of medical negligence
regarding her son and she had lost. Sonia was her usual tight-arsed
self saying that she doubted this would stand up in court. She would
file it but it was not a priority. Adrián said he was satisfied at
having brought this to her attention.
Nancy
and Officer Álvarez went to see a judge in his chambers to change
Álvarez's statement. He spoke saying that possession of the gun did
not mean that El Chivo had done the shooting. Nancy looked at both
of them.
As
Gustavo and his client left the courthouse hoping that this would
finally end the vitriol, Valeria came up from behind, calling her ex
a desgraciado. He told her that she provoked this. She threatened
that this was not over and Gustavo told her that she will comply with
the judge's orders or there will be problems. Valeria hit with a
very low blow, saying he was evil and that he should suffer the loss
of a child and finally that he did not have God's forgiveness.
The
judge told Nancy that there needed to be proof if a policeman is
changing his statement. She told him that there was no other proof
and the judge asked Álvarez to leave him to talk privately with
Nancy. When he was out of the room the judge told her that this was
for the courtroom, not his chambers. She talked about making sure
that everything was in order to prevent wasting the court's time. Of
course in the process she touched his hand to say she understood his
situation because she had worked in the police station but how could
he present this case when the only statement against her client had
changed? He should be looking for the actual killer and bringing in
a case he would win. Before he could answer she told him to think
about it and then left his office.
Mónica
was going through some paperwork when the pounding on the door
started. She got up to answer. Sonia handed her the summons and said
she was to present herself at the police station regarding her
involvement in the death of Dr Lara. She said she had no idea what
they were talking about and Juan tried to get her to cooperate.
Sonia got impatient and ordered her to come with them. She tried to
close the door in their faces but they pushed back. She ran into her
son's room and they followed. She begged them not to take her
because her son depended entirely on her, If she was not there he
would die. So, who was with him when you were boinking Rafael
Olmos?
Javier
brought Alonso up to date on the murder case. The ballistics report
indicated that the bullets had come from an illegal class of
firearms, so they were dealing with arms dealers. There was a
connexion to San Benito. Alonso wanted to talk to Quiroz, but Javier
said he didn't trust the police and preferred to work alone.
Mónica
continued to plead to be left with her son. Ricardo tried to get
Sonia to be a little compassionate and take Mónica's statement
there. Sonia would not agree to this. Roberto tried and she became
very unprofessional in the way she argued with them in front of
Mónica and the uniformed police. Finally the police started to drag
her away, Sonia said she would get DIEF involved, and Mónica broke
away to kneel in front of Ricardo to beg his help.
Alonso
and Javier contined discussing the situation with Javier reluctantly
agreeing to do things Alonso's way.
Ricardo
finally got Mónica to give him the name of the nurse whom she
trusted but could not pay.
They
dragged her out. The boy's breathing became agitated. Ricardo and
Juan stayed with the boy while Adrián and Roberto went to contact
someone.
Nancy
went to see El Chivo and told him he should hope that what she had
done does the trick.
Gustavo
told Alonso how his case went and how nasty Valeria was to him on the
way out. Alonso told him this had nothing to do with him. All
Gustavo wanted to do was to forget this and Alonso told him he
couldn't change the past, only learn from it. He should also not
take on guilt he doesn't deserve. It was time to move on. Gustavo
calmed down a little and said he was right. On to the next case.
Ricardo
called the nurse to get her to come over. Juan found the record book
of the boy's medical bills, which were very high. He felt very bad
for her. Ricardo reminded him that as tragic as this situation was,
it did not justify murder. She had used Rafael and there would be
consequences. Juan realized he was right. Ricardo called Alejandra
to come over to help with the child.
Alan
talked on his cell with the two young guys who had decided to sell.
He was clearly hoping that this would ultimately make a rainmaker of
him because he expected that they would get this client's entire
legal business. Carlos said he should take this little by little.
In fact, he looked like he still had doubts.
The
nurse told Ricardo and Juan that the child needed lots of attention,
oxygen, meds, and therapy and this situation is only making him
worse. Alejandra tried to assure them that DIEF would help because
the boy needed specialists.
Mónica
denied having anything to do with Dr Lara's murder. She even denied
knowing Rafael when he entered the room.
An
ambulance came to take Ivan to a pediatric hospital. The nurse
handed the medication to the doctor as Ivan was put on a gurney and
taken out.
Rafael
identified Mónica, who continued to deny any connexion to this. The
lawyers all tag-teamed in their interrogation until she broke down
(?) saying everything she did was for her son.

Thanks, Urban! Cracking episode!
I thought I was managing pretty well with my old beanie, but it fell to pieces after Alejandra told the two ambulance attendants, who work at at children's hospital, fijate, that they needed to be very careful loading the child onto the stretcher. I think I may need one that ties under the chin.

Thanks UA!
This could be totally far fetched but I’m wondering if Monica suffers from Munchausens. She obviously could just be negligent but I think something else is going on.
Gustavo needs a better coping strategy than immersing himself in work.

TF, I had a similar thought although mine is more mercenary in that she may have done something to create a situation where she could win a huge settlement. Since security cameras are such a big deal and she hasn't been away from Ivan in a long time, let's see if someone demands the security camera footage from the original hospital visit (if that still exists).
Thanks, UA, for the recap. They really help me understand what's what.
From yesterday, Anonymous, thanks for the clarification on the use of the word "joven". I thought it only applied to young men. Last night I was recalling when I was in vacation in Mexico and the gal in front of me called the 40 year old cabana boy "joven". I just thought she had bad eyesight.
That being said, I still think it is funny how they baby Juan so much. I agree that this may be the season of his growth, and that will be an appealing subplot to watch. I wish he'd get another chance to sing on the show. What a voice!
That was absolutely unconscionable how Sonia dragged Monica away before the nurse had arrived. She leaves a medically dependent little guy to be watched by attorneys she herself seems to have little patience for?
Did anyone else think that David (the father who was granted custody) showed a sinister face after the judge's decision? I hope we don't hear down the road that he is a bad father.
I love the idea of a Munchausens angle! Ivan was aware enough to know that *something* was going on. Maybe Monica just keeps him drugged up?

I have suspected something about Monica ever since the scene where she told herself that it was all worth it. The expressions on her son's face later said more.
As to David, I think his look is a little suspect, but his ex's behavior in the Vega office more so. That she got riled up over the possibility of her daughter being seen by a child psychologist was immediately suspect. I was thinking that she was a hair away from accusing him of molesting their daughter and she may make such an accusation if we see them again. Since they didn't bring the child into the courtroom, the writers could be saving up their energy for such a story in the future.

R la O, last time I was in Mexico I noticed that diners called all the waiters "joven," no matter how joven they were(n't.) I guess it's the equivalent of "garcon!"
Thanks, Urban.
Looking forward to finding out the truth about Monica.
I'm with Javier. Alonso is being naive.

Thanks for the recap. This one is rather heart breaking. The children suffer when adults act stupid.
Whats the reason For Val not leting her hubby see the little girl? She is filled with so much hate for the daddy
Why?
Monica brought It on herself and now her son is stuck without a mom. From what I saw it wasn't that much damage to her face.
She should've looked at her son and she should have weighed what's much more important, revenge or caring for her son. She dropped the moma ball with this one.Now shes a prison inmate and her son is surrounded by strangers
She was so sad pleading Ricky for help
And the DA seemed so cold, (which is her usual demeaner). Ricardo was right "as Tragic as itwas it did not justify
Murder". And Rafael shouldn't get off either, He executed that man.
Somebody tell Nancy to cover up her bra And don't use it as a blouse. It's A BRA.
Thank you Urban :-)
