Caray, Caray!

MI verdad #56 part 1

Things aren't looking too good for Mireya. Belinda has run to her when she was shot, but the thugs grabbed her. Mireya did shoot El negro in the shoulder before she was shot. In the van the henchies ask should we go to a hospital but Negro says no, call Tomàs. Accomplice 1 says I don't have his number. Negro says use my phone. Oops, phone is lost at the abduction site. A swarm of people are surrounding Mireya (where were they when Belinda needed help!). She is unconscious and bleeding from the mouth. An 🚑 is called. A lady kneels down and picks up a cell phone. Is it mir3ya's or Negro's is the question I have, which will hopefully be answered in this episode.

Ximena tells Mateo he didn't stand up for her, your mother will never accept me. I'm wasting my time with you, you'll only keep me as a lover. Mateo grabs her by the arm and says she brought it on herself by showing up at the hacienda. You were told to stay away. I'm working on getting mom to accept you.

Katy calls Bruno from a landline at some place about an hour away but she has no idea where as she was brought there in a cargo van with no windows. He reassures her. She has to go. A guy walks in where she is cowering by the phone table. He takes it from its cord and drags her out of the room

Mateo wants to talk to mom, who is about to go to her radiation and. Aitana goes into her connecting room. Mother and son argue and threaten to disclose what they know about each other, with Eloisa saying what you did is way worse than what I'm hiding. Aitana of course gets an ear full. Eloisa hollers for her so she goes back in the room and they head out

Larisa visits Nuria to give her the good news. It's a boy! Larisa is proud as can be that she and Luciano are providing the first grandson. Nuria is happy with her girls but realizes boys come first with Eloisa. And BTW, Larisa says I fixed the agreement with Astral.

Inigo is talking to the facilitator, Gaspar I think, and tells him he gets to keep his job since the contract is going forward. What about my commission, Gaspar asks? How bout a new car Iñigo offers. Gaspar is good with that as payment.

Larisa has an ulterior motive
I think she is using the guest bathroom to get some DNA of Iñigo's.

On the way to the hospital a radio report comes on about Mireya being shot. Eloisa is oblivious, perhaps she is unaware about the bodyguard, and tells Juventino to turn off the radio. Aitana is sending frantic texts to Luciano. Aitana has a panic attack.

Yup. Larisa is taking a toothbrush.

Bruno discuses Katy's situation with Luciano when Aitana's frantic texts come through. He tells Bruno to look up the news about the shooting while Luciano calls Belinda.

She's passed out in the backseat still as her phone rings. The two henchies have managed to contact Tomàs. Negro is really bad, he was shot. You idiots, you were involved in the Matlan park shooting! Do you have Belinda. Yes, she's unconscious in the backseat. Think they are heading to Negro's current hideout out of town.


 

Mi verdad #59 part 2

Edge of our seats action going on here. Luciano calls Rolando looking for Belinda. Not with him. Bruno tries Florencia. She apparently isn't on the plane yet. She says Belinda has something important to do after school. Luciano is sure those thugs have her. Off to the hospital they go to check on Mireya.

Mireya is being taken away in an ambulance as a reporter tells the news. Rolando sees it and calls Belinda.

Aitana waits for Eloisa while she is having her treatment, also calling Belinda. Bruno and Luciano show up. Luciano is going to check on Mireya, Aitana wants to go with him. Please let me go, I need to know about Belinda.

Belinda is with Katy locked in a room, when she wakes up. She's crying as Katy explains what's up and comforts her.

Luciano and Aitana check on Mireya, who is in surgery. Obviously they can't talk to her now though Luciano begs. He calls Armando. Armando is a couple of hours away. Seems like he doesn't want the kidnapping advertised at this time so they can catch the bad guys. Luciano says I'm leaving to this in your hands.

Doctor shows up to the flip house of Negro's. He's in pretty bad shape and needs the bullet removed and he's lost a lot of blood. The doctor rattles off a bunch of stuff he needs to proceed and henchy 1 goes to get the stuff.

Oh, I forgot to add something in the first part about Ximena. Micaela gives her some hard truths. You will never be more than his lover she tells Ximena (fortunately there is a flashback to her voice which reminded me). Ximena rubs the cheek Mateo slapped as she recalls Micaela's voice. She's packed her suitcase and is about to leave when Mateo arrives with pink roses. She tells him she's leaving. You just want me here to clean house and have sex when you want.

Eloisa returns home demanding to know what's affected Aitana so much. She says Luciano will tell you. He arrives and after she gets the news she looks like she's going to pass out.

Ximena tells Mateo he hasn't done anything he promised. They were going to be a real couple in front of the whole world and I'd study to improve myself. Instead you pretty much locked me in here. Mateo says if you stay I promise things will change. She doesn't believe him. Give me a few months he insists as he kisses her (she doesn't look like she's enjoying it.)

Iñigo talks to Juarez on the phone about a car (is that Nuria's boss). Iñigo is at the upscale bar. His next call is to an auto group where he bought his car a few months back he wants to sell it. The guy looks up the info. Iñigo makes a move on a woman that has been eyeing him.

Ceci and Nuria discuss the grandson to be. Nuria says Eloisa has always wanted a son to carry on the Lizarrága name.

Eloisa is being helped into bed by her 2 good sons. For someone that was rather mean to Belinda early on she is taking this really hard. She tells Bruno call the mayor. Aitana, now I understand why you were so upset about the news report.


 

Mi verdad #59 part 3

Larisa shows up.at the hacienda. Bruno tells her it's not a good time. Come back another day. She's not going anywhere until she learns why

Aitana and Luciano leave Eloisa's room as the sedative takes effect. Aitana gets a text from a man that he's outside ( is it Zac?). She tells Luciano she feels helpless. He hugs her. Eloisa believes they are after money, but we know otherwise. Luciano says Bruno is in contact with one of the trafficked girls. Aitana mentions the mayor after Luciano says Armando hopes to find the girls via Bruno's contact. Luciano says I don't trust the mayor.

Bruno told Larisa. She is legitimately upset and runs to Luciano as he comes downstairs with Aitana. Aitana says she needs fresh air and runs outside, to Zac, as I suspected. Hugs from him. He's ready to organize all the workers to search for Belinda. Aitana says that won't work

Micaela, Gael and Juventino discuss missing Belinda in the kitchen. Gael is pretty upset.

Aitana can't believe her daughter will live a life like she has lived if she is violated. She will make them pay. Zac calms her down, sorta. Think positively. (The fact that Negro got shot is really saving Belinda, if not he surely would have violated her while she was drugged,). Why is life like this Aitana cries. She prays to God to help Belinda. Luciano walks up.to.them.

Eloisa wants the truth from Bruno. He tells her they think it's the same guy that tried to kidnap her at the festival when Eloisa was in the hospital. Ximena saved her from that attempt (well this may work in Ximena's favor, but then again we don't want her with Mateo).

Zac notices Luciano. He tells him if there's anything I can do to help. Luciano asks him to take care of the ranch but, he can't think of that now. Zac agrees. Aitana begs Luciano to keep her informed about Belinda and he promises to do so.

Eloisa is crying as Bruno comforts her. Why didn't you let me know. We were protecting you because of you health. Bruno comments how affected Aitana is by this. Elisa says they get along so well, more like mother and daughter.

Armando is at the hacienda talking to Luciano and Larisa. He's laying out what he plans to do. Mireya is out of surgery but in delicate condition. He needs to speak with her first. Luciano will go with him. Larisa wants to come to but Luciano says no.

Belinda pounds on the door wanting to get out. Katy tells her it's nonuse. Belinda is sure her family and suegro, the mayor, will be search for her. Katy doesn't trust the politicians, many of the clients are those men. Belinda insists he is a good man. Katy hopes so. She has a guy that is try to help her. Hopefully he will save them. Belinda hopes so too.
 

MI VERDAD

Kat, this was exceptional.

Belinda's anguish was hard to watch. I'm glad at least that Katy is with her and am hoping they will be rescued quickly, although I fear this loathsome plotline will be dragged out a while longer.

"Bruno comments how affected Aitana is by this. Eloisa says they get along so well, more like mother and daughter". Her unwitting statement mirrored the devastating truth; Aitana suffering the pure unadulterated grief of a parent mourning the abduction of a beloved child. "Aitana can't believe her daughter will live a life like she has lived if she is violated" was hard to read.

"For someone that was rather mean to Belinda early on she is taking this really hard". Kat, I felt the exact same way; all along Eloisa appeared aloof and indifferent to Belinda. Hopefully, she will be able to atone for her unkindness.

"She tells him she's leaving. You just want me here to clean house and have sex when you want". Good for you Ximena! A few flowers and (a rather small) box of chocolate shouldn't atone for that slap or for letting Mateo's mother speak to her that way. Not to mention he's a dangerous (likely serial) killer. Run, Ximena run!

Because his father told him he could continue his relationship with Belinda, Rolando likely doesn't suspect him; at least at this point.

Thank you Kat; I would have missed so much if not for your excellent dialogue translations.
