LADY ALTAGRACIA
Yesenia Sandoval.
Yes, she was my relative.
Mr. Attorney General, I need your support in this.
Please treat the case with utmost urgency
so we can bury her as soon as possible.
No, don't call me.
I'd like her body sent
to her stepdaughter Monica Hernandez.
Thanks for the favor.
All set.
That should speed things up.
There's no point in keeping her at the morgue
if there's nothing to investigate.
It'll be a relief for Monica.
You continue doing good things for your daughter.
That's the last of it.
From here on out, I'm only taking care of myself.
Altagracia...
Monica said so last night.
She was better off
before she found out that I'm her mother.
I feel the exact same way.
There's no point in trying to salvage
a relationship that never existed.
We should each go our separate ways.
That's all I want.
I just want to find my happiness.
I assume you're referring to Saul.
If you marry me,
I'll make you the happiest woman on the planet.
Adolfo, Yesenia died yesterday.
I know.
That's why we won't have a big wedding.
We'll have something small and intimate.
Then we'll leave the country right after.
You said you already reached out to your contacts abroad
to help you find a job.
How long have you been thinking about this?
A few days.
I'm aware of all the present danger to you.
Braulio Padilla, Rafael Cabral...
Let's just go.
What does all that danger have to do
with us getting married?
Well, like I said,
I had originally meant to propose at dinner yesterday.
I wanted to surprise you because I love you.
I think you'll feel much safer with me.
You'll feel closer to me.
All that's missing to start this new life,
wherever it may be, as long as we're together...
is your answer.
Will you marry me?
No, Adolfo.
I'm sorry, but I won't get married
for the wrong reasons.
Ever since I found out Monica was my daughter,
my life turned to chaos.
Same for her.
It's best we go back to being far apart
from each other.
Monica needs you.
Oh, please.
She needed me as a child, but Lazaro filled that void.
I'm a complete stranger.
Are you really going to forget about her?
Monica is better off without me.
She's not some helpless child.
She's a strong woman.
She knows what she wants.
I'm going to let her live her life and follow her heart.
I'll be doing the same.
I can't believe you're still thinking of Saul.
Regina, he's the only person who's made me happy.
I gave him up for her. I tried to get over him.
I even dated another man, but it didn't work.
Saul is the only man who fulfills me.
He's the only man I've loved since Cesar was killed.
Your daughter loves him too, though.
Yes, but she's with Adolfo.
Sure, and Adolfo loves her,
but she obviously doesn't feel the same way.
She'll learn to love him.
Adolfo is a good man. He has plans for her.
What matters most is his untarnished past,
free of any guilt.
He isn't haunted by his mistakes.
Like falling in love with two women
who turned out to be mother and daughter?
Monica's connection to me is only biological.
There are no memories or traditions,
no love that unites us.
Her hatred towards me is the biggest proof of that.
Do you think Saul agrees?
How do you know he'll want to be with you
after he was with Monica?
I know because he feels very strongly about me.
He can't hide it or avoid it.
If Monica rebuilds her life with Adolfo,
it's not fair that we should be apart.
What's not fair?
We've already been apart long enough
because of other people's lies.
Saul and I deserve to be happy.
Now that we can finally be together,
I won't give him up.
Not anymore.
It's too dangerous, Diego!
Honey, calm down.
Diego knows what he's doing. He's an adult.
He's only 18 and hasn't even finished high school!
You know what? I'm going with you.
No way, Mom! Are you crazy?
Please!
Diego is right.
He can't go after the love of his life accompanied by Mom.
I'll go with you.
You two don't understand.
Do you think I'm playing?
No... you shouldn't play when it comes to love.
This isn't a game.
Your mother can't go for obvious reasons, but I can.
I'll keep my distance.
You have to stay and protect my mom from Braulio.
I need to do this alone.
Alright, enough.
-We'll stop insisting. -What?
You support this crazy idea?
Diego, I don't understand.
You just broke up and now you're chasing after her?
Where are you even going? Tell me!
Love is like that.
-It doesn't see borders. -I don't care about borders!
I care that Braulio's on the loose!
Braulio won't hurt me.
I'm the only one he wouldn't kill.
I'm his son.
My dad died recently and now Yesenia.
They haven't even given me her body so I can bury her.
I already said we could get married after the funeral.
I'm not disrespecting Yesenia.
I know that, Adolfo, but I won't marry you
just to escape that lunatic Braulio.
On the contrary, I want to stay and make sure
that bastard goes to prison.
-But you're not a cop. -No...
but I'm Yesenia's daughter.
I'm going to do everything I possibly can
to make sure there's justice.
Plus, I'm also committed to the foundation...
And to Saul, right?
Are you going to start again?
We already spoke about that
and I promised I'd keep my distance, period.
Yes, exactly, and that idiot was consoling you yesterday.
Don't insult him either. I was just explaining...
That's not an explanation.
Those are just excuses!
You don't want to be with me
because you want to be with Saul.
That's the truth here.
How can you still love a guy
who was in a relationship with your mother?
You may not know it,
but they're probably still sleeping together.
Mom, I don't want you to be alone.
It's dangerous.
If you come to the foundation, it's with me.
And if I have to leave when we're there,
you wait till I return, okay?
Do you really think Braulio will attack me?
Look, Mom...
you testified against him.
Plus, you're my mother.
He'd do anything to get revenge on me.
Like he did with Monica to get back at Altagracia.
Yeah.
I'm also worried about Monica.
In fact, I think he might return for her.
That's why I wanted her to stay here.
But then Adolfo showed up and took her.
No man wants his girlfriend sleeping in another man's house.
It's a good thing he took her to Margarita's house.
-I was only trying to help. -Her boyfriend can help her.
You do know they're dating, right?
She agreed to this relationship and you should respect that.
Love at this age is like this.
It's pure, honest, and eternal...
Yes, I know love is eternal and blind,
but why chase after a girl
who doesn't even want to be with him?
Lydia does want to be with me. She's just confused.
You don't say.
Then why did she go to the U.S. without telling you?
I have to find out if she still feels anything for me.
Diego has to do this.
He needs to take this chance or he'll always regret it.
Every day he'll ask himself why he didn't do it.
What about Isabela?
Have you told her you're going to the border?
I'll do that when I come back.
When you come back with Lydia?
Yes, when I'm back with Lydia.
All I know right now is that I have to stop her
from crossing the border and leaving forever.
Diego... don't go.
Diego, please!
Did you seriously just throw what happened
with Altagracia and Saul in my face?
How do you know they're not still together?
I don't care if they are or not.
If you get back with Saul, you'll always wonder.
And he's not cheating with just anyone.
She's your mother.
Like it or not, Altagracia is your mother.
Don't push it, Adolfo!
I'm telling you the truth.
-Don't touch me! -We need to be clear.
I'm not stupid.
I always knew what I was getting myself into.
But things didn't change over time like I thought they might.
Sometimes I ask for a kiss and get nothing.
So I steal one.
We're never even made love.
Hey!
That hasn't happened because we've only been together
a few weeks.
That's not something you rush into.
It hasn't happened because you want to be with Saul.
I don't deserve this.
You think I want to be with someone
who's thinking of someone else?
I'm hard-working, honest, and loyal.
I'm not trying to toot my own horn.
I'm just telling you what you refuse to see.
All I'm saying is that it's too soon to get married.
Not for me.
I don't care about the day, time, or place.
Unlike Saul, I know what I want
and that the only woman I want to be with is you.
Gentlemen, from today forward there's no room for error.
If you mess up, you're fired.
You'll be in charge of that, Matamoros.
Yes, ma'am.
I want constant and effective protection 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
I don't want impulsive or violent men.
I want you to be prepared.
You're responsible for my security,
my sister's and my niece's.
Protect us no matter where we are.
Here, at the office, at my niece's school... wherever.
Don't worry, ma'am. I'll handle it.
One more thing.
Since the police aren't doing their job
and prefer to blame me for everything that happens
in this city, I want you all to find Braulio and Rafael.
I don't care what it takes.
Find them and bring them here!
Yes, ma'am.
No mistakes, Matamoros.
Understood, ma'am.
If we're going to take on Altagracia and her men,
we need to be prepared.
I'd rather be killed in the act
than caught alive and tortured like the others.
The others?
Do you mean the Monkeys?
Braulio, how did Miguel Preciado
and Alejandro Cespedes die?
Altagracia treated Miguel Preciado like a wild animal.
She loosed him on her ranch and hunted him
with a rifle.
When he thought he was getting away, she shot him.
Then we took him to the basement and tortured him until he died.
He told us the second Monkey's name first, though.
-Alejandro Cespedes? -Yes.
We smeared his name and ruined his military career.
She pumped him with drugs until he died.
When Altagracia killed him,
he was completely unrecognizable.
If Altagracia were to find me,
I'd get it worse than them.
You?
Both of us.
There's no place we can hide until we finish her.
Where have you been hiding since you escaped?
At Elena's house. Do you know her?
The ex-wife of Lopecito,
the bastard who Valeria's having an affair iwth.
I spent a few days with her,
but she tried to turn me in over the phone
and I had to get out of there.
What'd you do with that Elena woman?
It's best if you don't ask.
How can I not worry?
He's never travelled alone, much less to the border.
I never should've let him go!
How were you going to stop him?
By tying him to the table?
What if something bad happens to him?
It's obvious he's very young and inexperienced.
Diego isn't stupid, though.
He knows how to stay out of trouble.
He won't cross the border.
He's specifically going to stop Lydia from doing so too.
If Braulio hadn't escaped from prison,
I'd feel a little better.
You heard Diego.
Despite everything, Braulio would never hurt his own son.
Braulio is a psychopath and you know it, Justino.
You told me how worried you were that he might be
with Elena at her house.
By the way, have you called to see what happened?
It's all I've done.
Her voicemail box is overflowing with messages from me.
She hasn't answered a single one.
I'm starting to worry.
No...
Adolfo, don't leave like this!
I didn't mean to hurt you.
We don't have to break up just because
I don't want to get married and leave right now.
You have to understand.
Let's not make a scene out here.
I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry.
How are you, Monica?
That's none of your business.
Can't you see she's with me?
Could you at least show a little respect?
I'm standing right here.
I guess that's too much to ask of a man
involved with mother and daughter.
What's your problem? Shut up!
Don't argue.
Yesenia died yesterday.
Show some respect for her memory.
This isn't the time, Adolfo.
You do realize that Altagracia and Monica
don't get along because of you, don't you?
How many more people are you going to hurt
because you want to play the alpha male?
There's your girlfriend who died.
Don't you dare say Ximena's name.
There's also Felipe.
You were sleeping with Altagracia while they
were still married and he's dead now too.
That's enough! Shut up!
And if I'm not mistaken,
you also betrayed your father by being with Altagracia.
-He's dead now too. -Saul!
Get up, Adolfo.
Daddy Daniel, you're back!
Juanita!
Careful! How are you, sweetie?
How many times have I told you
not to cross the street that way?
Be careful.
Sorry, it was my fault.
Isabel, go tell everyone we found Daniel spying on us
outside the foundation.
Aida, let me explain.
You had your chance to explain and you didn't.
You only said you did very bad things.
That was in the past, though.
Don't come near my daughter again.
-Truth hurts, huh? -That's enough!
You can't act this way in front of Monica!
-Aren't you ashamed! -Cut it out, you two!
I can't believe this.
We haven't even buried Yesenia yet
and all you two can think of is fighting.
If Yesenia's death hurts anyone, it's me.
She was my close friend.
She wanted you and me to be together.
She said so several times.
You're manipulating her with that?
No, I don't need to manipulate anyone with anything.
That's your thing.
You're still sleeping with Monica's mother.
Saul, stop!
Good morning.
Sir.
-What are you doing here? -I heard of Mrs. Yesenia's
untimely death.
She said if I couldn't find you at the house,
to look for you here.
Okay, but why are you here?
To fulfill Mrs. Yesenia's final wish.
What do you mean?
What did Yesenia ask for?
