Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Jueves 5/2/19, Episode 37: Lies and Whispers
Andres
came to the door to the angry face of Adrián and the smug greeting
of Victoria. For a moment he looked as though he realized he was a
prize fool.
Jaime
escorted Paula home. She was profoundly sad, depressed, and worse.
The maid hugged her, then went back to work. Jaime told her that
Alejandra would always be in their hearts and every corner of the
house. Paula felt as though she could not go on. Jaime was a tower
of strength despite his own grief, saying that together they woud
endure.
Meghan
asked Andres who Victoria was and he told her to go inside. “She's
just my attorney, helping me with the divorce.” Fortunately Meghan
didn't go back inside so easily and Victoria quickly called him out
as a liar. She told Meghan what he had done and why. Adrián kept
his eyes on Andres through all this. When Andres tried to deny
Victoria's words, Victoria said that “these gentlemen” (the
police) were there to help get him back to Mexico so he could testify
to exactly what crap he was telling Meghan.
Alonso
had no appetite at lunch despite the venue and the company. Lourdes
told him to speak his mind; he didn't have to play strong in front of
her. He told her that he felt guilty about what happened to
Alejandra. He talked about how had he not taken the case against
Dorantes none of the horrible events that had happened since (death
of Fausto, Jaime's kidnapping, the attempt on his own life,
Alejandra's death) would have taken place. Lourdes told him that the
only guilt belongs to the killers. He realized he did not want to be
alone and asked her to stay at his place for a few days. She agreed.
[Alonso, this lady is the best thing that could have happened to
you; don't blow it!]
Meghan
asked Andres if this was true and she knew the answer before he lied
to her again. He tried to grab her hands and she pulled away.
Andres had the nerve to tell Victoria she had no right to do this and
she countered that he had no right to do what he did. Captain
Murdoch then told him he was wanted for an offense in another
jurisdiction and he would be taken back to Mexico. He showed him the
documents. He went “This is an outrage” but the only rage was
Meghan's. She slapped him flat and told him to get out of her life.
Adrián told him he had no choice.
Ricardo
was in his apartment, holding the garter he had retrieved from the
ill-fated wedding and remembering Alejandra in the last few days. He
started to cry, then finally saying that this doesn't end here.
Meghan
told Andres she was done with him. She started to walk away, but
Victoria followed her. As Adrián supervised Andres' arrest Victoria
asked Meghan about Sol. The girl was in the house and Meghan said
she was alright. She was shocked at what Andres did to her and said
that this child didn't deserve this and she should be in Mexico with
her mother. While Andres huffed and puffed but could not blow the
house down Meghan went inside and brought Sol out to Victoria. Both
women assured the child she would see her mother. Victoria
apologized to Meghan about her having to find out about this in this
manner and she said that it was alright; better now than later.
[Note of gratitude that Meghan was not the bimbo of early
assumptions.]
Carlos
sat on his couch with a stiff drink. Alan brought him coffee, which
he strenuoulsy refused. Alan tried to get him to understand that
they had work to do, including the party for the firm, but Carlos
told him basically to go to hell. That party was all about bragging
in front of Alejandra and there was no point to it. He really must
have lost it because he said he'd rather see her with Ricardo and
alive. He didn't listen to another word Alan said, finally ordering
him out. He then picked up his phone and called Nancy, telling her
to come over right away.
Meghan
told Sol she loved her, then gave her a hug and a kiss. Sol ran down
toward her father, wanting to know what was happening. He asked the
police if he could have a second with his daughter. They reluctantly
released him and he told Sol that everything would be alright and he
would be back very soon. Victoria and Adrián stood guard over the
child and Victoria told Andres to control himself. If he had
anything to say, tell it to the judge. He threw some cheap
accusations at her and made an advance despite the handcuffs.
Captain Murdoch stepped in and Adrián stepped in ahead of him to
shove Andres back into police hands, telling him he was not to
disrespect Victoria. “For once in your life conduct yourself like
a decent man,” he said. “Look at what you've done. You've
deceived your wife, your daughter, and your mistress. The law will
not let you off. You are going to pay for this, I swear to you!”
Despite being shoved into the police car in the manner we all know
from our police programs in the US, he continued to insist that
Violeta had stolen his car. Sol cried, which Victoria took note of.
Juan
arrived home and told his mother how everyone was hurting, especially
Ricardo. He wasn't sure how long this would go on. Susanna hugged
him as he talked about how horrible and unfair it all was. She told
him that he has never been one to give up and that he would succeed
and find justice.
Victoria
and Adrián assured Sol she would see her mother soon. Victoria told
Adrián that this is so not over and she hoped that once in court
Andres would retract his accusation. Captain Murdoch escorted them
to their car.
Sofia
and Camila talked about what happened and Sofia expressed concern for
her mother's health. Camila tried to assure her she was alright.
Sofia then left for work.
Alan
was in the office, taking charge. Marta went over the party stuff
and asked about confirmations. Alan told her things would go on as
planned. She asked when Carlos was returning to the office and he
told her he didn't know. He was beginning to get irritated as he
told her to get confirmations from the caterers.
Nancy
arrived at Carlos' place. He was on his nth drink and possibly a
little drunk. He asked her what she found out about El Gringo. She
told him what the young cop told her and he said “I thought you
were capable.” She replied that she was capable, but also smart.
“If they're that dangerous then it's better we do nothing.” He
lost his temper, saying “You will do as I say” and went on about
how this cost him what he most valued. He took another sip and she
looked like she was assessing his sanity.
Victoria
and Adrián left the police station. They thanked Captain Murdoch
for his help and Adrián asked Sol if she liked flying in a plane.
She said yes and he told her that shortly they would be flying back
to Mexico. He picked her up and she laughed. Victoria looked
impressed at how he was with the child. He told Victoria that all
the papers were in order and their flight was in two hours. She
thanked him and he said she didn't have to; he would do anything for
her.
Carlos
and Nancy argued. She told him she wasn't about to risk her life.
She demanded that he be honest with her. He reminded her that they
were both criminal law specialists and were accustomed to dealing
with dangerous people. She agreed, but said not at this level.
Eventually she said she would do what she could.
Sofia
“barged” into Javier's office with the latest developments on the
arson case, saying they didn't have to wait. She took out her cell
to call the judge for a court date. [Can
someone fill in the details? My brain is still fried from last night
at the opera. Gracias.]
Lorena
and Manuel were working in the library, commenting on how quiet it
was at the office and how devastated everyone was. Lorena was sure
that the lawyers, especially Alonso, wouldn't let go until the guilty
were punished. Manuel said they needed to help and then went on
about doing so outside the office. Lorena tried to tell him this was
too dangerous.
Sofia
was pressing for a fast court date and not satisfied that the
earliest avail was the next week. She got the clerk to put them on
standby in case of a cancellation. Javier was very impatient with
her about this but she told him she didn't want to take the chance
that someone guilty of killing this many people could go free and
escape. She insisted that they find the judge themselves first thing
in the morning.
That
evening at the airport Sol asked Victoria if her mother would be home
when they got there. Victoria told her she would not, but would be
soon. The DA was there with a warrant and two cops. She told Andres
he would have to come with them. The two cops grabbed him and he
sang the same old song about being the victim. He said to Victoria
“You're going to be sorry” and she said “The only one who will
be sorry is you.” Andres began demanding to know about Sol and the
DA said “She's coming with us.” Adrián tried to assure Sol that
she would be with her mother soon.
Ricardo
sat in his apartment at the dining room table. Gustavo knocked at
the door and Ricardo let him in. Their roles were reversed now, with
Gustavo worried about Ricardo and telling him that drinking was good.
The difference was that Gustavo was speaking from experience.
Ricardo started crying, saying he felt very alone. Gustavo told him
he would have to carry on, for Alejandra's sake. Ricardo was
frustrated at her not having told him what she was up to so he could
have helped. The only thing now was to find those responsible.
The
DA recounted Andres' actions regarding the theft report then pointed
out his failure to appear in court for the trial. He claimed he had
to take a trip. The DA pointed out that he had a court order for the
trial to give evidence. She asked if he wanted to change anything in
his declaration and he said No. He continued to claim that Violeta
did this because of their dispute and that she had threatened to take
everything. Victoria called him a cinico and the DA called
her off. She took her place and the DA told Andres he needed to
testify at Violeta's sentencing hearing. He agreed to. She warned
him that if he failed to appear or tried to leave the country again
there would be an arrest warrant out for him. He asked to leave and
she allowed him to, but warned him to heed the summons. He got up to
leave, gave Victoria a contemptuous look, and exited. Victoria left
without a word. The DA looked a little annoyed.
Victoria
told Adrián what happened and he said they needed to prepare for the
court date. Andres picked up Sol and told her they were going home.
She asked about her mother and he said “Later.” As he carried
her out she yelled that Victoria said she would be with her mother
and Victoria told her she would be, soon. Andres told Sol “Don't
listen to that woman,” and they were out the door. Victoria was
outraged at this man's arrogance. Adrián told her that they had to
prove he was lying. The court date was the next day.
The
next morning Javier and Sofia got to the courthouse early. He wanted
to continue working on the shooting in the restaurant, saying that
the ballistics report demonstrated that the trajectory of the bullets
didn't jive with the original line of attack. The judge arrived
before he could explain any details. After more effort than it
should have needed they got his attention for ten minutes.
Victoria
and Adrián approached the Camacho house, concerned about their case.
They spotted Conchita, the maid, and approached her. They told her
that Violeta was in trouble and she said “No, she's a good person.”
They then said they desperately needed her help.
Andres
had to make his own coffee, after which he sat down on the sofa next
to Sol and her family of plush animals [This is a little girl who
should have a kitten]. She asked about her mother and Andres
told her there were problems. She asked why she never heard them
argue and he said that he made sure that she didn't know he and her
mother were fighting. She asked about Meghan and he told her that
she was a friend and it was her mother's fault that Meghan was angry
with him. Sol said she was afraid because the police came to
Meghan's house. Andres said that happened because her mother told
lies about them. She asked when she would see her mother and he told
her her mother would not return because of a problem with the police.
She asked what that was and he said he didn't know. He then looked
at his watch, noting that Conchita should have arrived because he had
to leave. Sol asked where he was going and he said that this was
about her mother's problem. He told her not to be sad. “Who loves
you?” etc. [Excuse me; I have to go to the vomitorium.]
Alan
went over the party prep with Marta, saying they needed at least ten
more cases of champagne. A few more sentences later he noticed Nancy
in the doorway. Marta got up to return to the tasks at hand while
Nancy tried to make Alan cringe over having disobeyed Carlos about
the party. He played the Partner Card and said “Why don't you just
go back to work?” She said “As you said, Alan” and walked out.
He grinned.
Javier
and Sofia continued to disagree about having approached the judge;
apparently they got no satisfaction. She was less patient, saying
they had to get justice for the affected familes.
Adrián
and Victoria visited Violeta at the prison. They told her
everything. She went from “I don't believe it” to “He's a
bastard” within two minutes. She was upset at not having seen him
for what he was. Victoria told her not to worry. All she needed to
do was to tell the truth. Adrián told her that they would take care
of everything else. Victoria told her she would be able to move on
from this and she will soon be free.
Quiroz
was leading his men out and talking about three cases that were
connected. Ricardo came up to him, blamed him for what happened to
Alejandra, and punched him. Several cops got on him, one of them
punching him in the stomach.

I want Victoria to mop the floor with this sorry excuse of a man and wring him out to dry.
This is a case that could go on for a week's worth of episodes in order to sort out the truth. Andres very cleverly set Violeta's mother up, too, so that her word would be suspect. Conchita is a valuable witness, but two is always better. The two possibles would be Sol testifying that she never heard her parents fight and getting Meghan in from Texas to testify about his lies to her.
The problem is that if Andres works hard enough on Sol she might not make a credible witness.

Thank you, Urban. All this and the opera, too! You are awesome.
Sofia was ranting because there was the possibility of the club manager getting out on bail. She raged that he had no right to be walking around free with a chance of possibly disappearing since he was responsible for so many deaths and became super frustrated at Javier's "Let system run its course, there's nothing we can do" attitude. She insisted on personally talking to the judge before the bail hearing, to make him aware of the situation and not grant bail (isn't this illegal? Influencing the judge and all that? Oh, well, the TN alternate universe marches on). Javier's laid-back, "okaaay ... but he won't see you!" only spurred her on until she got what she wanted - ten minutes with the judge before the bail hearing. I thought it was hilarious the way she bull-dozed Javier into going with her in the morning to catch the judge before his workday started, prepared to wait "for hours if necessary!" Javier was not a happy camper!

Thanks. This is inconsistent with his attitude about not trusting the police; surely he knows there also is corruption and incompetence at higher levels.
I don't know whether talking to the judge about this is illegal if they have any evidence of possible responsibility. Or do they need to be at the bail hearing?
Is it just me or is anyone else annoyed with all the judges and the other lawyers being anonymous? My job would be so much easier if these writers would give them names.

Interesting to see the role reversal between Ric and Gus. Gus has had some time to get his head back on straight a little bit and that's what Ric needs now. Like I said before, I don't know if Ric is going to get another love interest, but first there's a case to be solved.
If it comes to it, I'm sure Meghan would be willing to testify. She believed Victoria and Adrian right away despite Andres' denial and protests. Understandable that she feels shame and maybe guilt that she was manipulated by Andres and knew that Sol was an innocent pawn in Andres' game.

Thanks, UA! I can't wait to catch up on this episode when I get home from work. Sounds like a corker.
My favorite line from your recap: " He really must have lost it because he said he'd rather see her with Ricardo and alive." I know, right?
Oh, and by the way, a shout-out to our awesome blog admins for the snappy sidebar graphics for Telemundo and Uni. Beautiful!

Am i the only one that wants to see Sofia with Javier instead of with Ricardo. Im really starting to love that dynamic and i feel she can melt that cold hard exterior. She matches him and challenges him. Please writers leave Ric the brick alone.

Thanks, UA--Thanking you is getting to be a daily ritual, but we are grateful for your constancy.
My favorite scenes were the Victoria-Adrian scenes with Sol in the park before their flight home. There was such joy in Victoria watching Adrian who was really connecting with the little girl.
I was really surprised to see Andres walk off with Sol after he chose not to change his statement. But then, he hasn't been charged with anything in Mexico. He's the one who filed the complaint, so essentially, he IS the victim. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Dynamic Duo can unravel the deceitful web Andres wove.
Ana--Actually I'm with you on the Sofia-Javier pairing. It's Hot Chiles and Cold Brew. It's rapid-fire, non-stop talking to brooding reflection. Meanwhile, Ricardo is just a mournful bucket of tears. I wish he'd go to BC and visit his adopted kids for awhile.

Thanks UA. I’m with you.... I want Victoria to mop the floor with this sorry excuse of a man and wring him out to dry. For some reason this particular story really gets to me.
And agree that a romance between Sofia and locked-in-and-barricaded Javier would be interesting.
Nursing a wretched head cold at the moment. Seems all wrong now that Spring and sunshine has arrived. Happy Friday everyone.

Thanks, Urban.
Surprised that Ric punched Quiroz and in front of other officers. Will Quiroz arrest him or give him a break?
Still trying to figure out the interns' purpose. They seem like filler to me.

Urban, this was a most sickening episode. And your recap is splendid in
Bringing out the sickening disgusting
Arrogance of andres. Girl you are good
Lol, you made a trip to the vomitorium
? How bout throwing upchuckin the last thanksgiving turkey? Andre is the most
Narrsassistic butthole I've ever seen
In a tn. And the guy that's playin him
Is really good at it to the point That I want to kick his ass myself. He lies to his child without missing a beat.
He is a very dangerous man, and I hope
Vicky and Adrian can get violet out of
Jail before he does anymore damage to
Little sol. Getting a devorce wouldve
Been so much better than This.Not easy
But better, as far as Devorces go.
Ok I Still don't think she's dead. She
Could be kept somewhere while she is healing. And nobody knows about it but
Quioriz. And to keep it authentic tell
No one. Not even mom n dad. Nobody. Ok
My wishful thinking at work again. But
What if?

Nina--keep on wishing. Three people and the doc saw her flatline. Then they spent a lot of time around her body, so no one got out the paddles. OTOH, maybe that was someone else's flatline? These writers are capable of a lot of twists and impossibilities. I would have expected that in some American series, without a doubt.
