Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 6 Lunes 10/28/19: Pictures Tell Many Tales


They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I've worked for magazines and television long enough to know how much power they have. They serve many purposes: They are plans, art, memories, flirtation fodder, evidence, bait, and they can also be deadly weapons. In the digital age they are even more powerful in all these capacities. Use your camera wisely. – D.D.

Catalina took Ámbar's cell phone out of the drawer and looked at the photos. She saw the very photos that had been sent to Carlos the night she murdered him and realized they had come from Ámbar. She flew into a rage and swept everything off her vanity table with a vicious scream.

El Dragón #20, 10/25/19: Provoking Pacheco, Peligros and Pigmenio


Good Friday my fellow Patio Patrons. Another end of week recap of El Dragon leaves up picking up the pieces of the Pachecos as well as Hector’s car. 

Why Tacho called to give Hector warning, I am not sure, as El Pig was told by Duarte to take care of him. I can only guess that the only motive here is to not yet kill off the character. However, the impression this leaves on Hector will either make him much more affable to the friendship he has with Miguel, despite his ties to the dark side, or the opposite, make him hate everything that has to do with it. We will have to wait and see. 

In Ciudad Jimenez there is a meeting between Miguel and Sandro (El Jefe de los Guachos) the other gang in the area. Sandro begins with saying that he heard what happened, and that they cannot permit that kind of activity in their area. Which is when Miguel suggests they come to an agreement to protect the area as well as the transport coming in and out. Sandro asks him what he is asking in return, Miguel tells him to name a price. Sandro tells him no price, but that he wants in on the business, he has heard around that Miguel Garza pays his partners very well and wants a piece of the pie. Miguel agrees, and they have a deal.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 5 Fri. 10/25/19: Ambar's One Way Ticket--OR--Catalina and the Cost of Leadership

We pick up with Catalina waking up in an empty bed the next morning. She finds Francisco trying to contact Ambar on his phone and suggests he go back home. Evidently Ambar is trying to get his attention since she wants him to feel guilty and is being successful. An irritated Francisco admits that he feels guilty and is worried Ambar might talk to his nephews. Even more he wonders how Catalina can be so cut and dried about it  all.

As they leave Catalina's house, Alejandro wants to take Leonor to his jewelry  business to show her around and return the ring.  She wants to go to the Rodolfo Lazar lecture. He is a famous photographer and she wanted to meet him but now all of the tickets are sold out. Alejandro thinks that his mother with her influence could get her a meeting with Lazar. As they are talking,  José Carlos comes out agitated looking for the car keys. Alejandro tells him they are where they always are: in the car and tells him he cannot drive in the state he is in. José Carlos gets in anyway. Leonor jumps in the passenger seat and  tells him he does not have the right to put the lives of others at risk and that only he is the one who is responsible for the situation he is in and how to fix it. That gives José Carlos something to think about.

El Dragón #19, 10/24/19: In Which The Payback's Not Worth The Playback & Hec Needs a New Car


Miguel looks up from the video screen.  "--Where is Ricardo (Sr. Finances)?"  They ordered me to kill him, he tells Mig and Peligros.  Guajolote is the traitorous dog of a messenger who Peligros wants to kill.  "--It was me or him."  (Hmm.  Now that's something Miguel can relate to, considering his little chat-spat with Adela earlier.)  "--They killed the men.  I am sorry, Patrón."  "--Do my business partners know?"  Nope.  Ok.  Mig nixes Peligros and pistola since Guajo is the only one who's been inside since the takeover and knows the layout.  Leave him go."  Peligros growls to Guajo that he may have escaped this but he's still going to be bait.  (Viewerville ponders the possibilities.)

Ade wants to help somehow but Mig finally puts his foot down.  Jime wonders what's happened.  After Mig walks away Ade answers her that there's been killing and it isn't about to stop soon.

Mig walks outside on his way to his private plane; they're flying to CD Jimenez.  The vagrant, aka, bum who sits by the building day after day takes mental notes and Guajo must give Mig the details.  He calls Tacho and gives him the news.

Back at the ranch, Old Tati brings Dora a trago of tequila and secretly cuts the ties around her writsts.  Los Pacheco are feasting after the bloodbath they've just finished.  They get the word that Los Garza are on the way.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 4 Thurs. 10/24/19

An Anonymous contributor has graciously provided the Thursday recap. Whoever it might be, we thank AnonFri for stepping up. How about a round of virtual applause, and may this contributor not stay Anonymous too long.

Alejandro visits Leonora’s humble home that evening. He informs her he also has his own apartment and that he really doesn’t always live with his family. He’s only there now because of his mother. It seems she asks him how he’s feeling about his father’s death, and he says well.

Gélica is giving Catalina a massage. When she lowers the nightgown strap Catalina pulls the sleeve of her cover back and ends the session.

Leonora tells Alejandro she’s never met anyone who’s been on top of an elephant. He hands her his phone to show proof (was he with Jose Carlos?) She asks about his brother. Did they ever try other forms of therapy for him? Alejandro receives a phone call and Leonora gets someone at the door. Luis shows up with a paper bag. Alejandro asks if everything was resolved regarding his job. He says yes, to thank Catalina for that. Alejandro lets Luis know he mostly helped him because of Leonora.

El Dragón #18, 10/23/19: Revancha de los Pacheco Or Pacheco Payback


 In the countryside of CD Jimenez at Rancho de los Garza, while Dora and her head CEO/financial advisor are working on the monthly finances or reports for the trucking business, the Pacheco posse surround the place, cut off electricity and Internet for the ranch, and summarily murder all the guerrerros/security teams they come across.  ( Man, these people Dora's got working for her are such losers it's a wonder Damberto managed to survive at the head of the syndicate as long as he did.)

Meanwhile, in CDMX, aka la DF, poor Jorge, the poor little lamb, is lost.  He gets bullied, beaten and rolled by a gang of young thugs.  His broken processor is also stolen.  So, they get away with a phone and a hunk a junk with a few pesos thrown in.

Cuna de Lobos, Capítulo 3 Wed. 10/23/19: "Monsters" --OR-- "Ay (EYE), There's The Rub"

And we continue with our twisted tale:

At Catalina's house, Gélica notices a spot of blood on Catalina's blouse. Catalina sees her staring at it and tells her that she stained it but doesn't remember how. She adds that Gélica is to throw it away because she will never be able to get the stain out. Gélica looks oddly upset as she leaves the room with the blouse in hand.

Luis is at his place (his home away from where his wife and child live) when he hears on TV that Vasco the forensic pathologist was found dead with a bullet wound to the head at the forensic facility where he worked. Luis springs into action and takes the folder from Vasco from its hiding place. Leonora is knocking at his door.

José Carlos is arrested still in his drugged stupor. The press is there to cover this event marked by alcohol, drugs and violence since he is the son of the famous businessman the late Carlos Larios.

El Dragón #17, 10/22/19: One Benevolent Act; Will there be more Betrayal?


We begin with Miguel and Peligros walking into this bar run by some cartel thugs, where there seems to be forced prostitution going on. Pig and Tacho are watching from the balcony. He is greeted by someone who says, “So you are the famous Japanese person.” They sit down and ask Miguel how it is he does it, laundering the money. They call out the “girls” who obviously look forced and don’t want to be there. The “girls” are ordered to dance and one tells Miguel she is pregnant and to help her get out of there.

Back at the office, Jimena approaches Adela who is pouring herself a cup of coffee. “So how was everything in Miami?” says Jimena. Adela says, “Work was good. But the enjoyment was everything.” They sit down with their coffee and Jimena confesses her doubts to Adela since Adela was not a professional race car driver and only a chauffeur. Adela says the mission was a success, but Jimena says you don’t need a doctorate to use an accelerator. Then Adela opens a packet of sugar and sprinkles into Jimena’s coffee. “What are you doing?” says Jimena. “Just trying to take away some of the bitterness in you.” Says Adela.

Cuna de Lobos, Capitulo 2 Martes 10/22/19: Achilles' Heel



Everyone has their weaknesses, no matter who they are. The key to protecting yourself is never to trust anyone to know them. High society – or what passes for it these days – is just as much a minefield as the corporate world or a war one. In our tale no one knew this better than Catalina Creel. Yet eventually someone will know hers. Only her arrogance protects her from knowing this. – D.D.

Catalina returned to her office in the dark, the middle of the night. It was the perfect atmosphere for her to review her thoughts. When one kills for the first time, one is afraid. But when one learns to do it precisely, afterwords one feels nothing.

El Dragón #16, 10/21/19: Evasions



Miguel and Adele continued to run down the bridge. Howard tried to follow them in his car, calling the police as he did so. Miguel and Adele ducked into a parking facility and took off in a car as soon as the sirens started.

Vlad of Novotech was being threatened with the end of his daughter's life.

Paula told Vlad off in the belief that his product was inferior. She then addressed a crowd and talked about the Grace prototype.

The chase continued. Adele drove past Howard, waving to him rather than flipping him the bird. That got his dander up.

Cuna de Lobos Lunes 10/21/19 Gran Estreno: Augustus Falls



Romulus and Remus were suckled by the same she-wolf. This was not true of José Carlos and Alejandro Larios and not because they were not twins. While they shared a father they had different mothers. Gloria, the first wife of Carlos, was the mother of José Carlos who accutely felt her loss having been rejected by his stepmother, a one-time Circe named Catalina Creel.
It has been some time since I've brought you tales of those who think themselves gods or at the very least above all rules of society. They see money less as evidence of status than as a means to any end they seek. It is the one commodity that is universally understood as well as desired. – D.D. 

Late one night in Acapulco Carlos Larios struggled in the water as his wife, Catalina, radioed for help. “Help! Help! My husband fell overboard.” She heard him break the surface and struggle to breathe.
