Scenes
combined where it made sense to do so.
Mexico
City: Jaime explained to Paula that he felt the same pain as
she when thinking of Alejandra. They needed to get strength from
each other.
Manuel
and Lorenza worked late that night. Roberto found them in the
library and reminded them about Juan's party the next evening.
Manuel noticed that Roberto seemed a little out of sorts and
suggested they go for a drink. Roberto agreed and said to meet him
in reception.
Adrián
and Victoria dined in a Spanish restaurant and a waiter poured some
rioja for them. They talked about her studies and how nervous she
was when the test approached. She told him she wanted to be able to
practice in every US state. He was impressed and said to count on
him for any help.
Los
Cabos: Sofia and Ricardo dined at another beautiful outdoor
restaurant and talked about having to visit every clinic in the area
in order to find the doctor that helped Ana. This would take a while
because they might have to talk with every employee at each one in
order to accomplish this and it would be difficult to do this without
disclosing the nature of what they were looking for.
Mexico
City: A fat man with a beard entered El Ciego's lair. El Ciego
had him sit down for a drink. He put a stack of bills three inches
thick in front of him. He named three locations where El Gringo's
next shipments of drugs were coming, which would be in the early
hours of the morning. El Ciego handed him the money and he got up to
leave. He turned to look at El Ciego, who shot him squarely in the
chest. El Chivo looked apprehensive.
At
the bar Roberto advised Manuel to pretend that Lorena was of no
importance to him. It was how to remain in control. He went on
about moving on to other things as he indicated a couple of
attractive women at a table. Manuel knew that Roberto was advising
what he was already doing. Roberto went to the table and opened with
his standard pitch.
As
El Chivo and El Cuervo prepped the body El Ciego took a call from
someone he addressed as “Mi jefecita chula”. This seemed to put
him in a good mood, but it was brief. He ended the call and El
Cuervo asked him about what they were doing with the body. He
replied that he didn't like traitors, which made El Chivo look up.
He returned to the table and to another statement from El Ciego that
he doesn't tolerate traitors and that now they will be able to get El
Gringo's stuff.
Susanna
finished cleaning the house just as Juan arrived. She hadn't started
cooking, but said she would buy everything in the morning. He
offered to drive her but she told him just to worry about the drinks
and ice. She would take care of the food. He said “This is just
the beginning. We need better stuff” and she looked worried and a
little angry because she reminded him again that life isn't about
things.
Los
Cabos: The next morning Ricardo and Sofia went to the first
clinic and hit a brick wall; they would not release confidential
information. They showed their business cards and were still turned
down. Sofia said that a person's life depended on this. They gave
the patient's name and the nurse looked through the records. This
was not the place.
Mexico
City: El Gringo was stitting down doing accounts when one of
his goons came in to tell him that El Ciego killed La Bestia. It was
meant as a message. El Gringo didn't care. He ordered the man to
fetch El Chivo.
Los
Cabos: At the next clinic Ricardo and Sofia arrived as a doctor
headed toward Emergency. The nurse would not give them information
but suggested they talk to the doctor when he finished with his
patient. They sat down to wait.
Mexico
City: Javier worked at his computer, looking up firearms and
comparing bullets found at a crime scene. He matched the bullets to
the ones at the restaurant shooting.
Los
Cabos: The doctor confirmed that Ana Morales had been a patient
there but only to request information. He sidestepped their other
questions. Ricardo watched him carefully and then thanked him before
he and Sofia left. Later, Ricardo and Sofia had a creep vibe about
what they were not told at the clinic.
Mexico
City: Juan and Susanna talked about the party. He headed out
to buy ice and drinks and he would take her food shopping when he got
back.
Los
Cabos: The doctor – his name is Moises – spoke with Ana on
the phone. She told him that her case was under way and soon she
would have the money. He told her that two lawyers came to see him
and were asking questions. She was so sure of herself because of the
DNA results but he told her that if this goes to court and Fabián's
lawyers can prove what happened he could lose his clinic and his
license. The arrogant bitch told him she was calling her lawyers and
that because the child is Fabián's she has every right to what she
was demanding for herself and her child.
Mexico
City: Carlos and Alan had a brief conversation; their
disagreement appears to have ended. Alan said he would get back to
work. Carlos called Michelle to see her again. He smiled as the
call ended.
El
Gringo called Michelle and told her she was not doing her job. She
told him off, saying that if he does things impulsively and things go
south it's his fault. [Since he addressed her as “hermanita,”
they must be brother and sister.]
Quiróz
and Ignacio (his right-hand man) were talking about the organized
crime situation, but the third cop in the room was the one Nancy had
been bribing and boinking. Javier arrived to tell Quiróz what he
found out and to ask who the hell El Gringo was.
Jaime
brought Paula breakfast in bed but she said she wasn't hungry. He
managed to get her to get up but she still looked as though she was
not going to eat.
Quiróz
dismissed Hereta (? The dirty cop) and continued talking about the
latest shooting, which involved similar weapons. Ignacio said that
this isn't necessarily connected to the attacks on the Vega lawyers.
This was frustrating to Javier, who told them they needed his kind of
help.
Los
Cabos: Sofia and Ricardo found Ana Morales. Sofia got into her
face, pointing out that her client is a married man. The predatory
bitch wouldn't talk without her lawyer present and would not let them
in, saying they had no right to be at her place. She turned her back
on them. Ricardo did not give up. He said he knew that there had
been no relationship between her and Fabián. She replied that this
is what all men say. They laid their cards out, revealing that they
knew what she had done. Sofia told her that they were there to try
to work something out but when this goes before a judge and he
realizes what she had done this will go badly for her. Ricardo told
her that when her deception is revealed she will be made to pay. She
denied that and accused them of threatening her. “But no,” she
said. “I'm going to win.” She gave them a look that was
dripping blood. Sofia was not ruffled by this, saying “We'll see
you in court.” The bitch walked off, laughing at them. [This
better not be the case they lose.]
Juan
stopped by Roberto's office to make sure he was coming to the party.
Also to thank him for the help that led to this.
Carlos
handed the documents of incorporation to Michelle, telling her to
call hm if she needed anything else. She said the only thing wrong
is now she had no pretext to see him anymore. They made a dinner
date for later that evening.
Ricardo
and Sofia went to Fabián to update him. They needed to get a court
order for the security tapes for both clinics to determine when Ana
had been there and for how long. They talked about this on the way
out from meeting with their client. [They should also have asked
about telephone records.]
Javier
went to the police station to see Garcia about a ballistics report.
He said that all he was looking to do was to corroborate some
information. Garcia said he could not take the report with him or
make copies. He showed him the file.
Nancy
and her informant met outside. He told her about the body and the
message to El Gringo, which meant possible drug warfare. He also
told her that the Vega firm was interested in this situation and
identified Javier. She told him she would pay him well for this
information.
Mexico
City: Fernanda came over to see Juan and Susanna's new home and
sensed that all was not alright with Susanna. She told Fernanda
that Juan would be home soon and they would be entertaining his
colleagues. Fernanda decided to leave. When she opened the door
Juan had just arrived with Tatiana, who was wearing a bright red
dress.
