Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Martes 6/25/19 Episode 70: A Truth Revealed
I'm
Christpher Mason. The quest for truth in a world filled with fake
news and people lying or keeping mum to protect themselves is often a
difficult endeavor. For lawyers with ethics and a crusade it can be
very trying and emotional. Some even collapse during discovery and
for those with something to hid it can be disastrous.
I'm
Candice DeLong. In law enforcement there is nothing worse than a cop
or a lawyer to turn up dirty. It hurts the public trust and by
extension the profession.
El
Ciego and his goons stopped in what looked like a cul de sac. El
Chivo had told El Cuervo that this was not a trap. The seven of them
got out a minute or two later, pistols cocked and ready.

Lorena
argued with Gustavo about helping him and he tried explaining how

Mexico
City: Carlos demanded the
truth from Alan, who became defensive. He was certain that Alan
stopped by his apartment to deceive him. Alan stayed on the

they were then. That the cancer of their family was pride. Carlos
got fed up and walked out of Alan's office.

Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Martes 6/18/19 Episode 66: The Third Deadly Sin
I'm
Christopher Mason. Greed became fashionable sometime in the 80s.
That fad does not appear to have ended. Corporate greed is now in the
spotlight but it's an overgrowth of the sort of personal greed that
we are now witnessing. Corporate greed can destroy economies while
personal greed usually destroys lives.
I'm
Candice DeLomg. Greed is one of the primary causes of all kinds of
crime. Greed coupled with psychological warfare is devastating to
its victims.
Mexico
City: Roberto walked
Lucia through the offices and she talked about this being one of the
happiest days of her life. Roberto was guarded through most of this
as he said they should talk later.

Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Viernes 6/14/19 Episode 65: Oh, Mama
Bufete Vega:
Roberto strides unwittingly into his office, only to be confronted by his backstory. He doesn't recognize his mother at first, but once she drops the bomb he takes it surprisingly calmly. He cross-examines her like a boss, and she produces plausible answers: I left your father because he was a womanizer; I was penniless and on the street; he wouldn't let me see you. She proves she kept up on every aspect of his life by providing myriad details of his school life and subsequent career. When he asks the 64-thousand-peso question -- "Why now?" -- she tells him she just lost her last remaining relative after a long illness, and Auntie Estela made her promise to try for a reconciliation. She's believable enough, but she has that pinched mouth that doesn't inspire confidence.
They run into Victoria and Adrian on the way out, and Rob introduces her as his mother. Cara muy impactada de Vic, including a complete 180 as they walk away. Rob tells Mom to call and they'll talk. I imagine dinner with Dad tonight will be a bit awkward, especially if he turns up with arm candy.
Hotel Mala Racha:
Lorenza insists that Ric & Sofia multitask the paternity suit and the divorce proceedings. Fab says she can take everything but the tattoos; she says he can see the kid whenever; Ric says with all this agreement they'll be divorced in no time. (Who IS their client, exactly? Oh, never mind. My beanie must have slipped. It's been windy.)

she was always welcome. He could not persuade her to stay. She was
obviously uncomfortable at seeing Tatiana and she left, citing having
too many things to do. Susanna gave Tatiana a dirty look before
taking a bag to the kitchen, ignoring Tatiana's offer of help.

Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Martes 6/11/19 Episode 62: Money, Money, Money
I'm
Christopher Mason. They say that money makes the world go around. It
can change the lives of people who had less or who had none. It can
tempt many and lead them to deceptions and crimes. In a world where
upward mobility is increasingly more difficult those who have
succeeded are always looking over their shoulder.
I'm
Candice DeLong. Greed and envy are prime motives for crime and we've
seen lots of it already. And the methods get more creative all the
time.
Mexico
City: Nicolás told Roberto that honesty is the most important
thing, but one should not put one's feelings at unnecessary risk. He
should not use his mother's abandonment as an excuse to reject the
possibility of loving a woman.

children. She then asked for forgiveness. Daniel couldn't take
this. He got up and demanded to know why she had done this. She
tried to blame him because he threatened to take them away from her
and play the recording of their argument before the judge [Why
didn't that happen? It was seriously damning]. She could not
allow that. She pointed at him and said he killed them. Carlos
guided Daniel back to his seat and told the judge he had no further
questions. The judge then requested closing arguments. Rocio's
lawyer said that it was obvious that his client was not in control of
her mental faculties or her emotionsand that this should be taken
into consideration. Carlos said that it was obvious that she had
killed her children and that this needed to be punished. She shot
dagger eyes at Daniel, who was crying. The judge called a recess.

Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Viernes 6/7/19 Episode 60: Romance in LA; Death in CDMX
*A lovely post-victory (of sorts) meal at the rooftop
restaurant is interrupted by one of Bobby’s ex-playmates. Vicky pulls back
inside herself but shows how to be above it all by pasting on a smile and being
decent to the visitor. Exy prattles on and on about one of the adventures she
had with Bobby. Awkward. It had to do with someone stalking her electronically.
She got out of it by sending a picture of Bobby and said there were going out.
Adrián wants to know how they knew each other. Well, Bobby says it’s more like
a friend of a friend. Bobby says he’s always at the ready to help a friend, any
time. Vicky chimes in, but right now he’s very occupied. Bobby, looking at
Vicky intently says, he WAS very occupied, but now he’s free. Exy says great,
she’s commandeering him and will be his tour guide around L.A. He’s quite
reluctant to go until Vicky gives him “permission.” He looks back at her
longingly as Exy drags him out the door, maybe hoping Vicky would call him back. Adrián, who has witnessed all this
wonders what it really was all about.

attacked Rocio. She mentioned that Rocio had a lover but Rocio had
said nothing about him in the hospital. Nancy wondered whether
either of the children did it in self-defense but Carlos doubted
this. She then carefully opened a drawer where they found multiple
prescription bottles with her name on them. They were all
anti-depressants. They then found a psychiatrist's business card,
closed the drawer, and left to follow this lead.

Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Martes 6/4/19 Episode 57: The Mother Lode
I'm
Christopher Mason. We are all taught that motherhood is joyous,
sacred, and inviolable. However, as we all know there is an
exception to every rule. Think of Teresa Riggi, Diane Downs, and
Susan Smth. For every Niobe, Hecuba, and Thetis, there is a Medea.
I'm
Candice DeLong. When women become mothers they are expected to make
sacrifices for their children, not of them.
Los
Angeles: The senior officer [sheriff?] continued to be
stubborn and his racism was showing. He demanded to know why the
European-looking attorneys from Vega Associates of Mexico city were
defending “these people”. Adrian told him it was because
“Despite our different countries we are all human beings and we all
have rights.” They were told to wait outside for copies of the
reports.

Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Viernes 5/31/19, Episode 55: Adrián and Roberto are Paired Up
*It’s not what you think. They are going to work a new case
together.
*Ric and Sofia bring Camila home. Camila is very embarrassed
over the whole episode of being detained for appearing nude in the streets near
her house (As I recall, she was wearing a towel, so it wasn’t exactly indecent
exposure. The police should have just taken her home and called her daughter.)
She leaves to take a bath and get out of borrowed clothes. Ric gives Sofia a
quick kiss on the cheek before leaving, but she grabs his hand and holds him
back. She thanks him for being there for her. She’s very upset over what is
happening with her mother. Ric says medicine has advanced and is sure she can
be helped. Later, Sofia brings her mother tea. Camila says she doesn’t
understand what is happening to her. She has trouble remembering things—like not
knowing how to open the door with her keys. Sofia assures her that once they
see a doctor they’ll know more. Camila doesn’t want to see a doctor. She’s
afraid it will be something serious and won’t be able to get well. Sofia
assures her everything will be alright.
*Adrian returns to the bar scene after escorting Vicky out.
Bobby quizzes Addie about his family. He asks if he’s attached to anyone. Addie
answers no, not yet. (Just what Bobby didn’t want to hear.) Lorena is with Manuel physically, but
is not really WITH Manuel. He apologizes for his earlier remarks to her. He was
just trying to start a conversation. Lore reminds him there were many things
they could have talked about, just not who she likes. She says she’s dedicated to
her work and after he gets his degree and starts working, he’ll know what she’s
talking about. (Points deducted from her scorecard for
that answer.) After she and Addie leave, Manuel decides to ask Bobby for advice
on how to get Lore to notice him. She is only interested in the important
attorneys. His advice wasn’t very clear, even without a title, he had to be
himself, or something like that.

Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Martes 5/28/19 Episode 52: Cool Heads, Heated Issues
I'm
Christopher Mason. The road to Justice is often a bumpy one where
the opposition tries to throw obstacles in the way. It usually
doesn't pay to be a hothead in a courtroom where a cool head usually
prevails.
I'm
Candice DeLong. Sexual harassment is many times more common than
anyone wants to believe. It's not just something that happens in
Hollywood, either. It happens anywhere men decide they they are
entitled to women who don't welcome their attentions.
Mexico:
Ricardo was looking over photos and other documents related to
the murder of Patricia. He suspected that Carlos had something to do

was intolerable. He invited Ricardo out to dinner but he declined.
He said he would be alright in the morning; he was just tired.
Roberto said to count on him for help if he needed it.

*Something new comes knocking at the door of Ibarra y Paez,
but that comes later.
*Cristina gets a call
from a TV station. They want to do an on air interview about this video that
went viral. She checks with her attorneys. They tell her it’s a GO. Cris doesn’t
look too excited.
*Leo is walking along the High Line at night. He gets a call
from Bobby—just to say hello. Leo loves living in NYC, but he misses his buds
and all things Mexican. He asks about Ric. Bobby says he’s not doing well.
Bobby asks Leo to keep an eye on Adrián. There’s something about that guy he
doesn’t trust. Leo finally gets it and starts laughing as Bobby admits Adrián
is chasing Vicky. He swears if he hurts Vic, he’ll kill the guy—just joking.
Leo accuses Bobby of being jealous, though never in a hundred years would he
have believed it.
*The next day, Blondie, who will be doing the outdoor, on camera
interview, is giving Cristina last-minute instructions on how it is to be
conducted. Leo, Ollie, Sofia and Adrián are with her for support. They assure
her everything will turn out well. Blondie starts the interview. Cristina
explains why she’s doing it. Blondie announces that other women have come
forward to accuse the same man. It’s over. Short and sweet, but they got their
point across. Leo takes a call. It seems
they have another victim willing to testify. Now they can proceed.
