Scenes
combined where it made sense to do so.
Guadalajara:
As they left the courthouse
Josefina told Alonso and Gustavo that she felt relieved. Alonso told
her that her sons were young enough that they would learn from this
and that they would ultimately feel regret at their behaviors. She
thanked them.
Los
Angeles: Two young men driving
a pickup truck down a highway heard noises from the engine. They
stopped to check under the hood, accidentally locking themselves out
of the truck with the keys and their cell phones inside. While one
of them walked down the road in the hopes of finding help the other –
Ramón – continued to look at the engine. Afew minutes or so later
the other – Daniel – tried flagging down another vehicle. He
picked up a rock, broke the drivers' side window, and took the keys
and the cell phones as a police car pulled up. They ordered him to
put his hands in the air and drop the weapons. He tried to explain
that this was his car and he had the registration. The cops claimed
he had a gun and one shot him, thinking him an immigrant. A moment
later he saw that Ramón was unarmed. His partner called it in and
requested an ambulance.
Mexico
City: Camila came out of the
shower in a towel and walked out of the house.
Lorena
came into Ricardo's office to tell him she really enjoyed working
with him and hoped to continue doing so. Ricardo looked back at her
as though he was looking for the underlying message when Roberto
walked in and realized he possibly interrupted something.
Guadalajara:
Alonso and Gustavo walked
back, talking about the last time Alonso had been in Jalisco. His
late wife, Sarah, had come from there. Gustavo asked about her, as
he had not spoken of her before. He told him that she was the
perfect wife and helpmate, and a good mother to his children.
Gustavo then asked about Lourdes. Alonso said she was good for him,
gave him back the ability to enjoy life. He told Gustavo that
someday this would happen for him, too. Gustavo wasn't so sure
because of the way he lost his family. Alonso had lost his wife to
cancer.
Los
Angeles: El Gringo walked into
his warehouse to find one of his underlings with the “merchandise”
intercepted from its destination to El Ciego. This was possible
because of El Chivo. El Gringo said told his underling “The next
time you see him, take care of him.” He then cut into one of the
bags to see the powder.
Daniel
came back in time to see him zipped into a body bag. The cops said
he had attacked them and arrested him for being his accomplice. As
they cuffed him he said that Ramón must have broken into the car to
get his cell. The one who shot Ramón said – rather
condescendingly – that he should have no trouble explaining that in
court.
Mexico
City: Lourdes visited Paula,
who was still emotionally paralyzed. Since the situation with
Gilberto Paula has only been concerned about losing the house.
Lourdes seemed to be there to get her to forgive Alicia, but Paula
didn't even want to talk about it. Lourdes was concerned about their
friendship, but Paula told her to not intefere in this because it
wasn't her problam. Jaime came to tell her that if the bank's
actuary comes, not to open the door. The court case was the next day
and she was to leave this to him. They sat down at the table and
Lourdes asked why Jaime didn't talk to Gilberto, as he is in custody.
Jaime knew that Alejandra had talked with him and he had not
appeared. He had blown it off. He had failed to alter the contract
to protect Paula. Lourdes asked whether Gilberto would end up in
prison and Jaime told her that was most likely. She asked further
how this helps Paula because Gilberto would be unable to repay the
debt. Jaime told her that all that mattered to him was that Paula
not lose her house. She was Gilberto's victim. Jaime understood the
difficulty this placed Lourdes in but promises were made but not
delivered upon. Paula said that she had no other choice. [Lourdes
should see that it could be impossible to keep Paula as a friend if
she continued to defend that twit Alicia to her.]
Sofia
came into Ricardo's office for no good reason, as he knew they had
won the case and that Sofia thought highly of Leonardo and Olivia.
She told him the details including that Cristina was awarded a
million dollars in damages. She was about to leave when she received
a distubing phone call. Her mother had been arrested and she needed
to go to the police station. Ricardo said he would go with her and
they were out the door.
Juan
told Roberto about the move, saying that the best part is being
closer to the office. Roberto was aware that Juan had lived in that
house his whole life and that his father had bought it, which must
have made Susanna sad to leave it. Juan said that was true but he
was sure his mother would be happy in her new house. Roberto said
that she had hit the lottery with him as a son. Juan thanked him,
but more for his help in getting to where he is. They talked about
the possibility of a housewarming party and Juan was forced to tell
him that Fernanda wants nothing to do with him anymore.
Adrian
and Victoria talked about her studies. He made the point that each
US state has its own licensing requirements. She said she
specifically wanted to help immigrants and he thought that a great
thing. He promised to call a prof he knew who could help her and
suggested that they take a trip to the US. [I'm
sure he would love to take her to the hot spots in New York.]
Nancy
slithered up to Carlos' office door dressed to kill. She was trying
to get him to take her to lunch but he had already requested his
secretary to order lunch for him because he was busy on a new
client's business. She offered to help him but he said he preferred
to do this alone. He talked without even looking at her and she was
confused at this. [She
doesn't know this yet but even her sex theme music was intruded upon
by Michelle.] She left
the office.
Los
Angeles: A lawyer arrived at
the police station and introduced himself to Daniel Galván. He
explained that his friend had resisted arrest and that he being
arested for breaking into a car. He told him that US law supports
the police and the best he could do would be to stay out of this
problem. Daniel protested that his friend has never had problems
with the police and that his friend was dead because of racism. The
lawyer told him he couldn't prove that and that the best he could do
now in the moment was to contact his friend's family so they could
claim his body. He pulled out the cell phone that was in a plastic
bag. Daniel answered that he couldn't; his friend didn't have
papers. The lawyer told him he would then have to do it and he would
be there to help.
Mexico
City: Sofia went to the desk
and was told that her mother was arrested for public indecency,as in
she was walking in the street totally naked. Sofia almost collapsed
at the news. She caught her breath and said this was not possible.
The arrest report was read out to her. She acknowledged that the
location was near her home but denied that her mother would do
anything like that. Ricardo asked to see the report He and Sofia
looked at it and he said he would need to analyze it. They asked to
see her and were told she was in the lockup. Sofia went while
Ricardo arranged to pay the fine.
Sofia
found her mother in a cell in clothes she would not have owned.
Camila was confused. She could not remember how she got outside and
could not remember how to get home. She suddenly found herself in a
police car. She was afraid and didn't know what happened to her.
She was afraid not and wanted to go home. Sofia told her she would
take care of everything and then take her to a doctor. She didn't
want to go to to a doctor; she only wanted to go home.
Carlos
continued his research in his office and Nancy interrupted him by
sitting in his lap and coercing him into another vampiristic kiss.
Alan came in just in time to catch the end of it, which she probably
didn't notice as she got up and excused herself. She sashayed out
and Alan said “I've interrupted you two.” Carlos denied it and
asked what he wanted. Alan handed him a report on the foundation and
the monies laundered for El Ciego, then left.
Loa
Angeles: Daniel called Ramón's
mother and told her what happened. She could not believe it as her
son was not anyone who would attack a policeman.
Mexico
City: Roberto invited Javier
out for drinks; he delined as usual. However he asked him what
Ricardo had against Carlos. Roberto started out saying it was
personal, then the detail that Alejandra almost married Carlos before
coming to their firm. Javier said something to the effect that this
explained everything. [No,
Javier; it's really not that
simple.]
Sofia
came back from the lockup, crying. She didn't understand what was
happening to her mother. Ricardo told her that they needed to get
her to a doctor. For the moment he had paid the fine and they had to
get her out. She thanked him.
Javier
told Roberto that he was concerned about Ricardo's lack of
objectivity in the case and that this could go down a wrong path.
They needed time. Roberto agreed and said he would try to talk to
Ricardo about it. Javier said it would be best if Ricardo stayed out
of this case. [Mucho
suerte con eso, pero no seria possible.]
Alan
stopped in Nancy's office as she was getting ready to leave. He
wanted to talk to her. She asked if it could wait until morning and
he asked if she was going out with Carlos. He went on to say that
boinking Carlos will not be the way to stay employed in their firm.
She didn't want to talk about this with him but he blocked her exit
from behind her desk. He told her to be careful with Carlos because
the day he didn't need her she would be out the door. She told Alan
that just because they work well together that didn't mean that there
was anything going on. He tried to question her about the cases she
worked on with Carlos and got nothing. He wasn't buying any of this.
Roberto
presided over the drinking session at his favorite watering hole,
making positive comments about Adrian and Sofia's success in New
York. He got a message from Ricardo on his cell that he was on a
case with Sofia. No other information. Victoria tried to excuse
herself just as one of Roberto's previous one- or two-night stands
arrived to greet him. She introduced him to a friend of hers,
Estefania, who had just arrived from Los Angeles. Adrian asked
Victoria if she would like another drink . Roberto tried to get her
to stay but she told him he had two women hot for his...company. “I
want to talk” got him yet another setback. Victoria left the bar.
