we're finally kicking off the foundation's refurbishment.
The facility should be equipped to serve everyone's needs.
We're here to make dreams come true, especially the children's.
They're our future.
We promise to do everything in our power
to appease your every whim.
You seem surprised.
Yes. I am, to be honest.
Good.
You know I love surprising you.
Is that why you did this? For me?
I wanted to make good on my word.
This project was pending.
I wanted to realize it for the benefit of those who live here.
How dare you? You can't do this!
Excuse me?
You can't just barge in here
and disrupt the foundation's operations on a whim.
This isn't another one of your properties, Altagracia.
What are we doing here?
What do you care?
Don't you dare scream.
Think of my daughter, Rafael. She needs me.
Please don't kill me. I'll do whatever you say.
You already killed Felipe.
Do you want to kill us all?
I do the asking here, so shut up.
I saw the video. You shot him in cold blood.
Yes, I did. It wasn't easy for me.
I didn't want to.
You killed Felipe like you were out hunting for sport!
Are you going to kill me, too?
Is that why you kidnapped me and brought me here?
Is killing me your revenge on Altagracia
because she knows you're a Monkey?
I thought I'd gotten rid of all his photos already.
Were you guys at least happy here at some point?
This was our vacation home.
They'd usually send me here with a nanny
because my mother was often busy with work.
Braulio never really came here.
Do you think he'll come here?
No, of course not.
He'd never seek refuge here.
The police have been raiding all of his properties.
Don't worry.
It's strange, being here...
You know what's even more strange?
That we're indoors on a practically perfect pool day.
Shall we?
I'd love to, but I'd feel so guilty.
It's bad enough I'm in this beautiful house...
I didn't even attend Yesenia's funeral.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
I didn't think the time was right.
Don't worry, Diego.
I just want to see Monica and give her a big hug.
I haven't even told them where I am.
They think I'm in the US with my family.
Monica, you've been misinformed. I'm not acting on a whim.
Daniel Llamas and I agreed to do this ages ago.
In fact, the meeting was recorded.
-Isn't that right? -Yes!
It was recorded and taped.
We're improving the facility
to better the lives of those who live and work here.
You'll benefit from it as well.
I don't need your help.
What do you think, children?
Wouldn't you like classrooms and computer labs?
Yes!
-Monica. -How about a bigger cafeteria?
Altagracia's just making good on the promise she made Daniel.
Why didn't she do it sooner? Why now?
What a joke.
Who are all these people?
They look like engineers.
They're everywhere.
Altagracia.
It's natural for Monica to be worried.
She's worried day-to-day operations
may be affected by construction,
but my engineers know exactly what to do.
In fact, I'm sure all of you, including Monica,
will be delighted with the improvements.
Alright, everyone! Let's get to work!
Let the work begin!
I'd like to take a tour of the facility.
You're the new directors, right?
Care to join me?
Yes. Let's go.
Come on, Monica. Right this way.
You damn bastard!
You're taking advantage of my weakness.
I won't kill you!
Then why are you holding me at gunpoint?
What do you want?
I wanted to see you to tell you the truth.
Are you going to tell me it wasn't you in the video?
You mean it was all a set-up?
I shot Felipe, alright. I admitted it already.
I take responsibility for every bullet shot that day....
but someone pressured me into doing it,
and that person is your sister Altagracia.
She asked me to kill Felipe.
We met in her office. She planned the whole thing out.
She talked me into assassinating him.
She didn't care about your feelings.
Shut up! Quit badmouthing my sister.
What?
You mean it never crossed your mind?
When Felipe died, wasn't she your first suspect?
Shut up! Please shut up.
You killed him because he was about to out you as a Monkey.
He was going to report you.
I didn't know.
Felipe never sought me out or threatened me.
I had no idea he suspected of me.
How'd you find out he knew?
How did I figure it out? Who could've told me?
Altagracia!
She met with me shortly after speaking to Felipe.
That's not true. You're lying.
She wanted nothing to do with you.
Why would she make a deal with you?
She knows you were a Monkey and that you killed our mother!
Yes, but she didn't care.
She told me to kill Felipe for Monica's sake...
because if he talked, we'd both go to prison.
I wish I could call Monica
and tell her what happened on the border.
You can't tell her we're here, though.
No one can know where we are, for safety's sake.
I love this serious side of you.
Oh, Diego.
I wish I could stop time so we could just stay here.
Let's take a dip in the pool. Let's make the most of it.
Babe, I wish we could stay here forever, but that's impossible.
How would we live?
Oh, Diego.
I don't know.
I always thought you were different.
You seemed too young for me...
yet here you are talking about responsibilities
and future endeavors.
I want us to really give it our all.
"Us."
I like the sound of that.
Those beams need to be reinforced with steel rods.
First, however, we need to examine the columns.
What about the walls?
If they're shaky, we need to put in new ones.
We'll have to erect new walls.
The idea is to reinforce the building's structure
while replacing any areas that might prove to be dangerous.
We could knock down a few walls
to unify certain spaces and widen the overall area.
That would greatly improve the layout of the place
as well as create new areas for use.
-Wouldn't you agree, Saul? -Yes!
Although I think we should confer with the people
who work in all these different areas.
There are spaces that could use a refresh.
Like the library or the offices.
My space is just fine.
Expanding wouldn't be a bad idea, Monica.
We could broaden the help center and hire more people.
If the point is to refresh the space,
a fresh coat of paint should be more than enough.
We don't have to demolish the building.
They don't want to demolish the building, Mom.
They're just remodeling. It's different.
That's right, Mrs. Aguirre.
I'm glad you chimed in,
because you're in charge of cooking classes.
I'd like to see the kitchen area.
I have a few ideas I'd like to talk over with you.
I'm sorry, ma'am,
but you can't buy my favor through lavish gifts.
I don't need a new kitchen.
Don't say that, Mrs. Azucena.
The kitchen is in dire need of repair.
If Lady Altagracia has offered to remodel it,
we can't turn down her generosity.
Come, ma'am. We'll show you to the kitchen.
Perfect.
As the new leaders of the foundation,
I insist you come with us.
Come along.
Sure thing.
Why should I believe you?
You murdered my mother, raped my sister,
and shot Felipe and Gustavo.
You know Altagracia hated Felipe.
They've been at war for ages,
but the Monkeys weren't the problem.
If so, why didn't she kill him sooner?
She could've killed him when we started dating
or when he retook his political career.
Felipe didn't know about the Monkeys then.
That drove her to insanity.
I had nothing personal against him.
Think about it.
Who's the only person who's gained anything from this?
Do you want me to blame Altagracia for this?
I've lost everything.
My career, my wife, and my freedom.
However, Altagracia managed to stop Felipe in his tracks.
She managed to keep the Monkeys
and the deaths of Alejandro and Miguel a secret.
She even managed to have you and Isabela move back in.
She got what she wanted because she planned this.
No...
Altagracia would never do such a thing.
Who do you think took that video?
Someone knew I'd be there.
What a coincidence!
I don't see my mom's car. Do you know where she went?
Not really.
She left a while ago, but didn't say where she was going.
-Excuse me. -Wait.
You've been working here for days now.
You never look me in the eyes when we talk
and you always seem nervous. Why's that?
Sorry, you must have the wrong impression.
I remember you.
You came to one of my aunt's benefit galas.
You used to be in charge of the foundation for women...
you know, the one Saul and Monica work at.
Sorry, but I don't have time to talk.
Why'd you leave your prestigious job for this one?
Why are you a driver now?
I'm sorry, but I have a lot of work to do.
Why are you putting all these ideas in my head?
Do you really think I'll believe your word over Altagracia's?
If you don't believe me, ask Daniel Llamas.
-What do you mean? -I saw you talking to him.
Now he's your driver all of a sudden.
He knows what I'm talking about. Go ahead and ask him.
Daniel's a Monkey. Why should I believe him?
I'm going to let you go now.
Go ahead and tell the police about our encounter.
This wasn't an encounter. It was a hostage situation!
Tell them what I told you.
Once they know the truth,
you'll be able to defeat Altagracia.
I'd never hurt my own sister. Get that through your head.
You may not want to accept it, but a part of you knows
she was the one who orchestrated Felipe's death.
You don't even know me. Shut up!
True, but I'm amongst the few who know
that Altagracia sacrificed herself to save you.
I know you're very loyal...
but can you live with the doubt?
How long will you go on defending the woman
who had the love of your life killed?
You said you'd help me get a visa,
but everyone talks about how hard it is.
What if they find out I tried to cross the border illegally?
You never actually crossed over.
I got you off of that truck. They've got nothing on you.
I just want us to do things right.
I want you to travel to the US legally
so you can visit your family as often as you want.
I know,
but that probably requires filling out a lot of forms.
What if they're all in English?
The only English words I know are hello, bacon, and hotcake.
It's a start.
The forms are in English,
but the interview's always in Spanish, so don't worry.
Easy for you to say. You have a visa.
I want to travel the world with you...
and not just for sightseeing.
I want you with me when I get a master in criminology.
You haven't started college and you're thinking of grad school.
I'm saving up for it.
I haven't told anyone yet,
but that's what I want to do after I get my law degree.
Oh, really?
Yet another lawyer in the Padilla household.
Yeah, but unlike my mom, I don't want to be a judge.
I want to be on the other side of the podium.
I want to defend people and analyze evidence.
I want to defend the innocent.
I didn't know you had such admirable goals.
You know what the best part of my life is?
You.
My niece and Diego are dating again.
As it should be.
They're practically made for one another...
although Diego hasn't stopped by the house in days.
He's still tense about Braulio.
You seem pretty excited about the remodeling.
I think the archives could use some refreshing, as well.
I think we should accept Altagracia's help.
Have you seen how excited the women and children are?
If you want to join in on Altagracia's absurd plan,
go ahead... but count me out.
It's absurd of me to invest my time and money
on improving these people's quality of life?
Of course it's absurd. You're just trying to show off.
We have more important things to occupy ourselves with.
Exactly.
Like that call we received earlier.
What call?
A woman called and said she'd been forced into prostitution,
but she never identified herself.
We should be helping her, but instead we're standing around
admiring your false display of generosity.
These women could be dead for all we know.
LADY ALTAGRACIA
