Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Miercoles 7/24/19 Episode 89: Showdown
Scenes
left in order to avoid confusion.
Fernanda hit the truth jackpot
when she caught Tatiana with an bald older man in an expensive suit.
In other words, a client. She pulled her back and
slapped her hard, telling her to stay away from Juan and Susanna.
Tatiana demanded to know who she was and she told her that Susanna
was her friend and that she loved Juan. “Any further contact with
them and you will have to deal with me.” Tatiana tried to laugh at
her, shoving her back. Fernanda didn't take that one and shoved her
back toward her client, who restrained her as Fernanda called her a
mujer suela. Tatiana yelled that Fernanda had no right to
insult her and that what happens between herself and Juan was none of
her business. Fernanda accused her of going after Juan for his
money, followed by Tatiana boasting that she didn't need his money.
Of course, Fernanda came back with seeing who she is getting money
from.
The man was getting embarrassed as he tried pulling Tatiana
back lest this become a full-blown catfight. Tatiana threatened to
tell Juan that Fernanda started a fight with her and Fernanda told
her to go ahead and do just that. She would tell him what she saw.
[She should have taken out her cell and taken a photo before the
approach, but Fernanda falters on such forethought.] Tatiana
tried to get tough but Fernanda said she was going to tell Juan that
very day because she was not going to allow a slut to hurt him. She
walked away. Tatiana wanted to follow her but her client held her
back and said “Let's go.”
Sofia told Ricardo they had a
court date for Benjamín's case. Ricardo wasn't sure he had all the
necessary information. He looked at the file she handed him and he
said he would talk to Benjamín. She said she would prepare the
defence and would help him until the end. [With only two capitulos
left I don't like that statement.]
Adrián visited Victoria in her
office and said she is more beautiful every day. He told her about
the case and said it had a good outcome [Si, if your client's
father can afford to pay the $250K fine]. She was pleased. He
then presented her with a gift. She hugged him and took it out of the
bag; he had bought her favorite perfume. She was pleased, but still
holding back. He wanted to take her out but she said she had a lot
of work to do. He asked if he could help and she consented. She
also wanted to hear the details of the Aguirre case.
Gustavo managed to pull El Chivo
into a chair and tie him up. He then began to punch him, each time
demanding to know where El Gringo was. Three punches later El Chivo
was spitting blood, but still appeared to have all his teeth.
Ricardo visited Benjamín and got
the guard to leave them alone. Using the court date as the lure he
asked Benjamín the critical question: Who was Dorantes working
with? Benjamín said once again that these people were very
dangerous. Ricardo told him that the whole firm was behind this.
Benjamín leaned back with a self-satisfied grin. When he failed to
say anything Ricardo put the papers back in his briefcase. Benjamín
then stopped him and said that once he reveals the information the
lives of everyone at the firm will be a living hell. Ricardo told
him to tell him. Benjamín said he didn't know his real name, but he
is known as El Ciego. A narcotrafficante who did “contract
work” for Dorantes.
Gustavo told El Chivo he would
not be able to leave until he said whom he worked for. He opened a
container of accelerant as he spoke. “You [plural] killed my
family.” He punched him again. “Let's see if this refreshes
your memory.” He started pouring the stuff on El Chivo's lap. El
Chivo began to panic. Gustavo didn't stop until he poured all of it
out. He stepped back out of the wet area and took matches out of his
pocket. “For the last time, where is El Gringo?” He struck the
match and it flared in slow motion.
Ricardo asked whether Benjamín
knew how to find El Ciego and he said he didn't. As to “Are you
sure it's him?” Benjamín replied that Dorantes himself told him.
“This is the same one that Carlos Ibarra freed.” “Yes, and
handles all his business,” Benjamín replied. Ricardo caught his
breath, said he was going to get Sofia, and called for the guard to
open the door. Benjamín was escorted back to his cell.
Juan handed a file to Roberto,
explaining that Pedro goes free that day. Then Roberto noticed that
something was wrong and Juan began explaining that he was in conflict
with his mother. Roberto asked what had changed.
Susanna put a statue of Jesus and
a lit candle on an altar shelf. Fernanda came in and told her she
had confronted Tatiana. Susanna told her this was not necessary but
Fernanda thought otherwise. She realized that Tatiana had been
putting ideas into Juan's head. She told Susanna “You have to talk
to him.” Susanna said she had tried and now it was her turn.
Fernanda was reluctant but Susanna told her that she had to because
“I'm sure that Juan loves you.”
When Juan asked Roberto whether
he had changed, Roberto said he had. However, he gave Juan the same
mini-lecture about improvement having nothing to do with material
things. He seemed to have convinced Juan that being a great lawyer
suitable for advancement isn't about wearing expensive suits or
driving a luxury car, it was in the heart which Juan already has.
Juan conceded that he was right and asked him about his situation.
Roberto explained that it was different because he wasn't raised by
his mother.
Fernanda told Susanna that she
loved Juan as she remembered him, a person who helped people and
fought for their rights. She loved his generous heart. Susanna told
her that this had not changed. What had changed was the outer shell
under Tatiana's influence. Fernanda wanted Juan to be happy but was
sure that Tatiana was not the answer. Susanna repeated “The only
woman my son loves is you.” Fernanda was unsure of her ability to
convince him to see the truth. Susanna was sure she could. [It
would be great if Juan could catch Tatiana in flagrante delicto with
the client Fernanda saw.]
Carlos and Nancy were talking
about a client meeting when Ricardo charged past the secretary and
decked Carlos. He landed several punches when the secretary yelled
she was going for security. He backed Carlos against the doorframe
in a choke hold, demanding to know where El Ciego was. Carlos choked
out that he didn't know. He got free and Ricardo told him that El
Ciego was responsible for Alejandra's death. Carlos denied that,
saying that it was El Gringo. Ricardo told him that the information
came from Ramiro Dorantes and if he didn't tell where El Ciego was
Ricardo would see to it that he goes to prison for complicity. El
Ciego was hired by Joaquin Dorantes to attack members of the Vega
firm. Carlos insisted that it was El Gringo and that he had been
investigating. He told Ricardo to leave before security got there.
Ricardo said that with or without his help he was going to get El
Ciego. Two security men in suits came in to shove him out. Ricardo
got them to get their hands off and he left. Nancy asked Carlos if
he was alright. He didn't answer. He merely called El Ciego's cell
saying “We have to talk.”
Gustavo dragged the bound goat
into Quiróz' office, telling him that this thug worked for El Ciego.
Quiróz called for a medic and told Gustavo he was taking charge.
Gustavo called Ricardo and said he needed to see him in the office.
The others were in the conference
room. Carmen told them that Ricardo had insisted on the meeting.
Lorena asked about Gustavo, but he entered right on the moment. She
noticed the cuts and bruises on his hands and asked what happened.
Alonso and Ricardo came in right behind him. Ricardo revealed what
Benjamín told him and displayed a photo of El Ciego. Manuel
remembered seeing him in the restaurant the night Alejandra was shot.
El Ciego went to Carlos'
apartment and Carlos demanded to know what his involvement was with
Alejandra's death. El Ciego did his usual sigh and said he told him
it was El Gringo. Carlos said that his information was that he was
in the employ of Joaquin Dorantes to attack the Vega firm. He
finally sort-of confessed that he worked for Dorantes and that his
deal with him demanded that he take care of things for him. Carlos
then looked him in the eye and demanded to know whether he had been
involved in Jaime's kidnapping. El Ciego was offended at the
question and would not answer it at first. Finally he lied, saying
it was El Gringo who was out to get him(self). He further lied,
saying he had nothing to do with Alejandra's death. His manner was
not convincing and Carlos looked as though he suspected he was lying.
Ricardo asked Manuel if he was
sure. Manuel swore to it. Javier said it wasn't possible; they had
no proof that El Ciego was there. He wasn't in the security videos.
Lorena asked why he didn't say anything before and Manuel said that
he had no idea who El Ciego was; he thought he was just some client.
Alonso said he was going to talk to the police and was about to end
the meeting. Gustavo spoke up, telling them he had trapped one of
the thugs.
El Ciego told Carlos that he had
to keep the Vegas off him. Carlos told him that this would not be
easy. “Life isn't easy. I pay you because you are the best. I
pay you so that you do what you have to so nobody messes with me.”
Carlos told him it was too late because he knew about him. El Ciego
tried to say that it was El Gato, not himself. He confirmed the law
firm name and Carlos recommended that he hide. El Ciego wasn't
afraid. He said that if he got into anything “You will have to be
there for me.” He left. Carlos looked about twenty years older at
that moment.
Gustavo confessed to what
happened in the bodega, saying that he was tempted to kill the thug
but didn't at the last minute. All his pain came out in this
confession, which ended with him saying he turned him in. Alonso
said that this was not how Vega solves things, but knew they had to
go on from there. He issued the assignments. Victoria, Juan, Adrián,
and Roberto were to review the video. Javier was to contact the
prosecutor's office for all information on El Ciego. Gustavo,
Ricardo, and Sofia were to accompany him to the police station to
speak to Quiróz and the thug Gustavo turned in. Manuel and Lorena
were to assemble all the evidence. He was confident in all of them.
After the meeting Lorena told
Gustavo that she was grateful he was alright. He said that this was
close to ending. She kissed him and he left to get ready to go to
the police station.
Tatiana left a voicemail for
Juan, calling him corazón and begging him to call her.
Roberto led his team into his
office. Juan's phone rang as he inserted the flash drive, but
Roberto discouraged him from answering it now. They looked at the
video but saw nothing of El Ciego. This was the video they had
gotten from the police department. Roberto wondered whether it was
complete. Adrián said they should go directly to the restaurnt.
Roberto also said they had to go to the prosecutor's office. They
all filed out.
Lorena and Manuel were putting
the papers in order. Manuel remembered seeing him pass him in the
restaurant while he was talking on the phone.
Javier went to the prosecutor's
office to get information.
El Ciego and several thugs with
assault weapons got off the elevator at Vega and began shooting.
Manuel and Lorena could hear it in the library. The receptionists
ducked behind the high desks, as did Carmen. Several people were
shot. One thug grabbed Carmen by the hair and pulled her up. El
Ciego aimed his pistol at her head and demanded to know where Alonso
was. She said she didn't know and swore to it. El Ciego declared he
was going to get all the damned lawyers.
Javier called Nancy, saying that
they had been mistaken. The guilty party is El Ciego. She tried to
get him to reveal his source of information but he did not. She
claimed to know nothing about him but would call him when she found
anything out.
El Ciego walked down the corridor
and kicked open a door. Finding the office empty he went into the
conference room, shot one of the water bottles on the table, and sat
in Alonso's chair. He said to himself, “Alonso Vega, I'm going to
kill you.” Then he got up and left the conference room.
He and his thug then entered the
library and shoved Manuel down to the table, demanding to know where
Alonso was. The table was full of documents including photos of him.
“Prison photos are always bad,” he said, throwing it aside.
Another thug said they had control of the reception area and left.
One remained in the library doorway while El Ciego began intimidating
Manuel and Lorena. When he demanded to know where their boss was
they said he was out on a case. El Ciego threw some of the papers on
the floor, then aimed at Lorena. Manuel stood in front of her. El
Ciego started laughing. He leaned his head against the bookcase and
laughed for a moment, then looked up and again demanded to know where
Alonso was. El Cuervo (?) came back, saying he didn't see anyone
else. El Ciego shouted in his insane manner that he wanted every
lawyer there. He picked up some papers and asked something. When
Manuel wouldn't answer he said “This idiot is half deaf” and
began roughing him up. When Manuel ended up on the floor El Cuervo
was about to pummel him with the butt of his rifle. Lorena screamed
and El Ciego thought he could get her to talk. Manuel yelled that
she had nothing to do with this and that he was investigating.
El Ciego mocked Manuel's words as
he grabbed Lorena's hair and shoved her into the chair. Pointing his
pistol at her head he said “I will never understand idiots who try
to be heroes.” He left Lorena in the chair and grabbed Manuel by
the shirt front. “He's deaf, he's a fool. You're not listening to
me.” Then he decked him. He turned around, looked at Lorena, and
said “My work is to kill.” He pointed his pistol at her. [There
must have been a commercial break inserted here.] She remained
silent as El Ciego kicked Manuel in the stomach and chest until he
was on his back spitting up blood. El Cuervo kept his rifle aimed at
her. El Ciego then looked at her and said “You know what's worse?
Passing the whole day like this.” He then aimed his pistol at
Manuel. Lorena begged El Ciego not to hurt him. El Ciego said it
would be much easier if her friend would talk. He walked over to
Lorena, grabbed her jaw for a second, and cocked his pistol again.
Manuel said “Alright.” He said that Alonso was with the other
lawyers at the prosecutor's office bringing charges against him.
[Now Manuel is truly an idiot.] El Cuervo still had his hand on
him as he managed to stand. “The rest of the information is in his
office.”
“How easy was that?” El
Ciego mocked. He said they would go to Alonso's office, shoving
Lorena ahead of himself and El Cuervo. He kicked Manuel's behind on
the way.
Alonso, Sofia, Ricardo, and
Gustavo were at the police station. They told Quiróz that they
needed to interrogate the thug. Quiróz told them that he was in the
infirmary and in no condition for this at the moment. They needed to
ask tomorrow. Sofia sarcastically asked whether he would be in shape
then and Quiróz replied that he hoped so because he arrived in bad
condition. He was not going to file charges against Gustavo but told
them they could not take justice in their own hands. Ricardo
reminded him of how difficult this situation was. Gustavo angrily
brought up the issue of corruption. Quiróz said they were working
on it and he wanted to get these criminals just as much as they did.
While being pushed down the
corridor at the office Manuel clutched his stomach, then tried to
shove El Ciego back. Lorena made a break for it and ran into an
office. She grabbed a cell phone and ran for the stairs while Manuel
took a few more punches and landed on the floor. El Ciego sent El
Cuervo after her, but he was too far behind and could not catch her.
She got down one flight despite her stilettos and called the police.
El Cuervo went back to his boss and said he didn't see her. El Ciego
looked down at Manuel and said “You want to be a hero?” before
shooting him.

Does this mean he's finally getting a personality...when it may be too late?
Thanks for all the detail -- it made the action easier to follow. I can only imagine how Christopher and Candace are wrinkling their noses with distaste.

Things went from 0 to 100 very quickly in this episode. Hopefully that means tonight and tomorrow will be just as good or better. I don’t know if I’d say the Vega lawyers were lucky that they weren’t there but unfortunately that meant Lorena and Manuel were left vulnerable.
Getting all of the footage from the restaurant would certainly help. Maybe Manuel didn’t see what he thought he saw. Who knows.
I do think Juan might have to see with his own eyes what Tatiana is doing but hopefully that’ll change Fer’s opinion of Juan and his actions.

Thanks, Urban. I love all the different justice photos. So much happened that I think the Uni scissors are afoot. Loved your line about Carlos aging 20 years.
Poor lovesick Manuel. I hope he survives.
Time for the tampering of the video to be discovered. I want to see Javier realize he's been duped by Nancy.
El Ciego is truly drunk with power.
I'm shocked Tat's turning tricks. I guess Juan is her retirement plan

Not much of this series is missing; about the equivalent of one episode altogether.
Niecie, I nominate your latest comment about Tatiana for a sidebar quote. I completely agree with it.

Thank you again (and all the PASL recappers) for another enthralling recap that captured the true feeling of Gustavo's beat down of El Chavo, and his corresponding pent-up anger, and the panic the Vega firm (Carmen was a trooper, holding it together, as always) must have been feeling when El Ciego and his crew came barrelling through the elevator doors with guns blazing. What no building security downstairs for a highrise?
At least Lorena showed some street smarts and bravery in grabbing the cell phone and dashing for it. But really, I see women running and dancing in stillettos and, being a construction boot-type girl, I have no clue how they do it.
