Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Jueves 5/23/19 Episode 50: The First Salvo
Scenes
combined where it made sense to do so.
Mexico
City:
El
Ciego told Carlos that the police got one of his men and that he had
to get him out. He blamed him. Nancy came down the stairs. El
Ciego said Hello to her, hoping to find out more. He whispered to
Carlos that she should not interfere in his business. He left.
Carlos then told her to stay out of this. She said she just wanted
to help and he told her that she will do what he demands.
El
Gringo talked with his goon about why he didn't kill El Chivo. It
was because he was ratting out El Ciego's movements to him so that he
could eventually lower the boom on him.
Olivia
coached Cristina on how to talk about this. They were on the ground
floor of Blums' building. She did a selfie video in which she talked
about Blums' sexual demands and her termination for non-compliance.
She encouraged viewers to report incidents like this without fear and
to share the video. Adrián and Sofia seemed satisfied.
Guadalajara,
Jalisco:
Josefina
talked with her sons about the business. The two had been fighting
over who will run the company.Victor pulled a pistol on Camilo,
calling him a traitor. Josefina – who has bigger cojones
than either of them – pushed the gun aside and told him off.
Victor then told her that Camilo was selling his share to their
principal competitor. She demanded the truth from Camilo, who then
said he met with them in order to protect his interests so that
Victor couldn't put him out on the street. Victor accused him of
incompetence. Josefina stopped the argument and told Victor to leave
her alone to talk to Camilo. He walked away and Josefina slapped
Camilo hard. He tried to complain about how Victor treated him but
Josefina wasn't willing to listen. She told him to get lost. He
walked away.
New
York:
All
her lawyers encouraged Cristina, saying the video will reach many
women in her position. Leonardo then talked about contacting the
media.
Mexico
City:
Ricardo
and Lorena were in Family Court for Fanny. Ricardo gave his opening
statement regarding the nature and duration of the relationship
between his client and Janneth. He also described Janneth's parents'
reaction to her orientation. He added that the child was loved and
that it would not be a positive thing to take her away from her one
surviving parent. Lucrezia's lawyer [who finally has a name:
Guzman] said that legally Estefania Cordova had no legal right to
the child because she is not a blood relative. He added that his
client was prepared to provide whatever therapy the child needed.
Lucrezia stood up and said she would because of the example set for
her granddaughter, which will destroy her. The judge told her to
shut up until she was spoken to. Guzman got her to sit. Ricardo
read a file stating that the Supreme Court had ruled that a minor has
the right to be heard in such cases. Guzman objected on the grounds
that the girl was only nine years old [Hmm.. she looked at least
12 to us]. Ricardo said that was not relevant. He asked the
judge to allow the girl to exercise her right to be heard. Lucrezia
stood up, slapping the table. Guzman made her sit down again.
Guadalajara,
Jalisco:
Alonso
and Gustavo arrived and Josefina told them what happened. She didn't
want to favor either son but Alonso told her she had to get tough.
She signed the contract and told him to do what he had to do.
Mexico
City:
Guzman
stated that the law grants custody to his client, Ricardo said that
Carla had the right to be heard, and Lucrezia was out of order again,
ranting about children should not be exposed to bad influences.
Ricard looked as though he was letting her have the rope necessary to
hang herself. The judge ordered her back to her seat. Ricardo told
her that Carla received love and care just like in any other family.
Guzman guided his client back to her seat and the judge asked Fanny
if she wanted to say anything. She said that she and Carla were
suffering because she had not been able to care for her due to this
situation. The judge was not prepared to make a decision without
hearing Carla's testimony so he was going to ajourn until the next
day. Lucrezia objected to this, telling the judge she refused to
permit this. The judge told her that if she prevented it she would
be commiting a crime. He adjourned the court. Lucrezia continued
to rant. [One wonders whether Ricardo and Lorena were pitying
Guzman.]
Lucrezia
tried to pick a fight with Fanny, who said she just wanted to take
care of her daughter. She ranted more in the same vein. Guzman had
to restrain her while Fanny leaned on Ricardo and Lorena. Guzman got
her out of the building. Fanny got upset and Ricardo promised he
would put this right.
Carlos
and Nancy went to see El Cuervo in the lockup. He was not armed when
arrested. He needed a doctor for his injury. She told him she would
get him out but he would have to do as she says. He was alright with
that as he was not able to run with his recent injuries.
Javier
visited Quiróz and showed him a photo on his cell phone of a female
trafficker (probably Michelle). He told Javier he didn't have the
time to investigate everything, but Javier said they should just
share information and he would work his own way and wouldn't get in
his way. Quiróz agreed and went back to his computer.
Nancy
went to the police chief to get Ulises Sanchez (El Cuervo has a name)
released on the grounds that there was no actual evidence to prove
his involvement in the various charges. Interestingly she didn't try
to seduce him [nor was she dressed for it].
Guadalajara,
Jalisco:
Victor
went into the processsing plant and followed Camilo, who was walking
behind Alonso and Gustavo, who were there to talk to them. Neither
of the sons wanted to talk to the lawyers. Gustavo told Camilo that
by selling out information to the competition he was violating
company confidentiality and mercantile law. This could land him in
prison for six years. Camilo refused to believe that his mother
would do this to him. Gustavo told him to sell his shares to his
mother. He also told Victor that his death threat was a civil crime.
Victor thought he was in the clear because he didn't make good on
the threat. Alonso told them that the only satisfactory outcome
would be for both to sell their shares to their mother and withdraw
from the business because their mother could not tolerate their
infighting. Camilo agreed and signed, but Victor would not. He said
he would get his lawyers on this and win. Each walked away.
Mexico
City:
The
police wanted to keep El Cuervo in lockup but Nancy kept insisting
they had no proof. Finally the chief said he would release him [I
think because he couldn't tolerate her bitching at him].
Ricardo
filled Victoria in on the custody case. He didn't want to subject
Carla to having to testify in court but recognized that this was the
only option. Victoria advised him that his main obstacle was that
the girl was not also registered as Fanny's daughter. He was to get
the girl to testify as to what life with Fanny and Janneth was like.
She was sure that his client was in good hands.
Javier
talked to a bald man in the lockup about the night of the fire. He
wanted to know whom the guy worked for. In exchange he would talk to
the man's lawyer about getting him out.
That
night Nancy went to Carlos' office to tell him that his client was
freed due to lack of proof. He said “Good job” before closing
the door. He told her she would get a bonus for it. That wasn't
enough for her. She wanted his full trust, which he was not about to
give. She pointed out that it looked like El Ciego was in control of
him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her forward, but she disarmed him
with her most potent weapon. [Raymond Chandler would have loved
this.]
Javier
told the prisoner that he knew the fire was the result of rival
cartels fighting over the territory it was in. The prisoner claimed
to work for nobody. Javier said he could get him out. This read
much like Gustavo's attempts at getting information out of Ramiro
Dorantes. The man would not talk. He told Javier he would prefer to
be alive and locked up and told him he ha no idea what he was dealing
with.
New
York:
Cristina's
video was shown on television news. She talked to someone on the
phone to meet the next day in the hotel restaurant. She called
Leonardo, who was watching the video on Olivia's cell phone. They
needed to prepare an aggressive defense but for the moment to wait
for reactions. He was sure that Blums' army of lawyers weren't going
to take this lying down because the press exposure will be very
unwelcome. They were to meet in the morning.
Guadalajara,
Jalisco:
Alonso
and Gustavo ate at an outdoor restaurant and talked about how the two
sons will not taking this one lying down. Gustavo mentioned how
difficult this decision had to be for Josefina as the mother of the
two hotheads. Alonso explained that he had known Josefina his entire
life and knew her husband. He was with them when they drew up the
company charter, etc. When Gustavo said he didn't need him on the
case and didn't need to take care of him, Alonso said that he needed
him because of his concern of losing objectivity on the case due to
how long he knew Josefina and he also needed his expertise.
New
York:
In
a rooftop restaurant, Adrián looked at his cell and commented on how
many comments there were for Cristina's video and how many women were
coming forward with their own experiences. Cristina got a message
followed by a phone call from a morning news crew. They wanted her
on the early morning news. She told Adrián and Sofia who said to do
it. It's a go.
Anita will be doing Monday this week.

Thank you, Urban for the very detailed recap of this episode. You clarified so much about the case Alonso is handling for Josefina.
I really thought Alonso took Gus along so there might be some vibes between Gus and Josey, but she directed all her remarks to Alonso, while Gus just sat there. No wonder he later told Al he felt he wasn't needed.
Those two "boys" look so incredibly different, I wonder what Josey's hub looked like.
Nancy sure manages to get her way whenever she wants. Didn't she do that in the earlier situation where she sprung someone just by hectoring the official that they had no proof? She makes it look so easy to get clients turned loose.
Good luck to Cristina. Is this supposed to take place now, in the post-Weinstein days? If so, they will probably have better luck than before.
So, Ric promises Fanny to make it all ok. In the standard TN Handbook of Clichés, that would spell doom. But this isn't a relationship between a man and a woman, but client-lawyer, so maybe he will prevail. So far, has Vega actually LOST any case?

Vega lost a case when the lady lawyer( who was having an affair with another lawyer in the same bufete) tried
to go it alone .Alonso didn’t want her to ; it looked like a non winner. The man who wanted to sue some beauty product that didn’t make him appealing to woman, He said the product was a false advertisement. They lost......
She licked her wounds and on to having office sex with her coworker.

You dipped all the way back to Season I! Now I remember. She's the one that got canned along with the attorney she was boinking - Leticia & Benjamin. OT--Eva Cedeno is now in a role on Un Poquito Tuyo, playing a leech of a sister to Jorge Salinas.

Yes, and she has been replaced by one with sleazier clothes and an equally sleazy hook-up. I wonder whether viewers wrote in and told the production team to make her wardrobe more respectable.
Notice that Victor is played by Fernandino Valencia of LQLVMR. What a performance he gave in that one.

Lucrezia look like a crazy person. Ive
Seen this actress before. She looks crazy in This part. And where is gramps? Ok he's probly home with the little girl. If grandma haven't eaten him.
Carlos is like a puppet to ciego. Looks like naughty Nancy is becoming one too.
I'm surprised those 2 bros haven't put
Momma in the psych ward so they can take control of the company.
I hope blues don't do nothing like try
And have Kristina gushed up.
Thank you Urban.

Lucrezia is a toxic person, no question. I have to wonder what sort of a mother she was to Janneth before all this happened.
Carlos is a puppet and I think he may be figuring that out now.
Victor and Camilo don't have the intelligence to think of such a thing. In fact, Josefina now has grounds to commit Victor.

Thanks, Urban. All my fogginess is cleared up now. Everyone speaks pretty clearly here, but sometimes I can't cut through the legal mumbo jumbo.
Liked Ric's cool in court and his reference to the Supreme Court ruling on kids' right to testify on such cases. Sometimes the hotshot Vega lawyers go into court with a lot of righteousness but little legal facts, so that was a nice touch. Maybe the show finally hired a legal consultant? Nah.
I still don't know Nancy's end game, but she deserves better from Carlos after putting her neck on the line for him.
Nice to see Fernandino and the actress playing his mom in guest roles. If mom cuts out the brothers, I'm wondering who she'll install in their place.

Good question. Maybe she has a gentleman she hasn't introduced to them yet. That would send their blood pressures through the roof.
