LADY ALTAGRACIA
What makes you so uncomfortable?
Nothing...
What do you feel for me?
Monica, hey...
Don't be afraid.
I only asked you a question.
I want to know what you feel for me.
I'm not afraid. I'm embarrassed, that's all.
Why would you be embarrassed around me?
It's not like we're just casual acquaintances.
I know, but even with your closest friend
you have to keep certain things to yourself.
Actually, no.
I want you to speak from the heart.
I want you to unplug your brain.
No.
My brain is what's helped me.
It's helped me stay on the right path
and remember my values and principles
and to not meddle in people's relationships.
I mean lives. I meant to say people's lives.
What relationship are you meddling in?
Look, I believe that you have to treat people
how you want to be treated.
That's why I never meddled.
You were with Ximena when I met you
and now you're with Lady Altagracia.
There's nothing else to say.
I think I've been more than clear.
I'm not going to meddle in your life
or your relationship.
Or any future relationships.
Not now, not ever.
You and I have a date in court.
What are you doing in my home?
We don't need to take this all the way to court.
Just tell me what you want.
Compensation?
You'd better watch what you say.
Last time, you accused me of extortion.
I'll try to be clear.
I don't want your money.
I want you to publicly admit
to all the harm you've caused us.
I'm here in all sincerity.
I recognize my past mistakes.
Let's try to reach an agreement.
There's no need to go to court and cause a scandal.
Oh, you don't want a scandal?
You don't want to be humiliated
like I was when the police dragged me through the mud,
and when on national television you accused me
of being a criminal.
Again, I'm sorry.
Sorry, huh?
Then why'd you send your goon over here?
If you're truly being sincere, like you say,
tell us what one of your thugs was doing here.
What did that man want?
What do you mean Altagracia is here?
Yes, her car is parked outside.
It's the same one she rides in
when she comes to the construction site.
Do you know where she is or whose house she's in?
No, I only came to tell you because I know
she's your niece and you have problems.
Do you know where Monica is?
At the hospital with Lydia, I suppose.
We went our separate ways after the trial.
Thanks, Jorge, I'll walk you out.
-Bye. -Thanks, Jorge.
-Thanks. -Bye.
Altagracia came for me, Yesenia.
If she sees me with Monica, she'll know the truth.
No, if Altagracia had come for you,
she'd already be here.
She probably came for Saul Aguirre.
They're lovers, remember?
And she came all the way here,
knowing that everyone hates her with good reason?
Nothing scares Altagracia,
especially not if she's set on being with Saul.
We have to call Monica and stall her.
She can't come home now!
Altagracia can't see her come into this apartment.
She's not answering.
Where could she be?
You don't understand, Saul.
It's not that easy to talk so openly.
I've tried to tell you how I feel hundreds of times,
but something always comes up to keep me from doing so.
Well, take this moment to do it now that it's just us.
Yeah, but your people and your world are outside.
Your family, your friends... your women.
I'm not the Don Juan of the tenement.
Come on.
What I mean is that...
I think I got confused when I met you.
That was my mistake.
I don't know...
That day those thugs stormed the tenement,
I felt like we made a connection.
But then I found out you had a girlfriend.
You were at the airport when Ximena left me.
Why didn't you tell me how you felt?
Because it's not that easy.
I wasn't going to take advantage of the situation.
In fact, that day you told me you were in love
and crazy about someone you had just met.
You were smitten.
So then what?
At that moment I thought it was me,
like a fool.
I'm sorry.
I should've been clearer.
No.
Don't worry. This isn't your fault.
I'm the one who got my hopes up and let my mind reel.
I'm the one who swore that strong, courageous fighter
was me.
But I was wrong.
It wasn't me.
You were talking about Lady Altagracia.
Everything that happened was also a surprise for me.
I had no idea my employee would show up here.
How stupid do you think I am? I don't believe you.
I know you handle your people.
They don't lift a finger without your permission.
You have some nerve showing up at my house
after the way you kicked me out of your office.
Mr. Aguirre, just like today,
I had every intention of making peace with you that day.
After you offended me, though,
how did you expect me to react?
How you usually do.
By violently exerting your power.
Jaime, please let her finish.
I don't usually apologize to anyone,
but because it's you,
I apologize for any harm I may have caused
and I hope we can start anew.
Start anew?
Start what?
You're nothing like us.
Where is this newfound humility coming from?
You never admit to your mistakes.
Don't come to my house and act all innocent.
I'm not acting innocent.
I just want you to understand that I could never hurt you
because you're the parents of the man I love.
Yes.
I'm very much in love with Saul.
You're staying home or...
Or what?
Are you going to send me to reform school?
Do it!
I'd rather be there than locked up here.
Calm down, son.
Be patient.
This is just till things blow over.
Dad, earlier you'd said
it was only until after the trial.
It's over and I won!
I'm going to celebrate with my friends.
No, you're not.
When you say friends, do you mean...
Diego and the guys from the soccer team.
Who else?
Fine, you can go.
And then you say I'm the one who needs to set limits?
Will you ever stop being lenient with Emiliano?
How many more trials will we have to go to
before you realize all the harm we're causing him?
Miss Ximena!
I'm sorry to bother you,
but I was wondering where you're coming from.
I'm coming from a job interview.
Why?
We wanted to know if you ran into Lady Altagracia outside.
Her car is parked nearby.
No... but I can imagine where she is and with whom.
Well, yeah.
You were right to ask what was wrong with me
when I was acting so weird.
Now I understand why you were being that way.
It's because you found out I was with Altagracia.
Yeah.
When Ximena left you, I really thought
I could come to mean something to you.
But then reality crashed down on me
and it was hard to get past it.
I didn't know you felt this way.
Because I tried to hide it.
I denied the way I felt and tried to block my feelings,
but I couldn't.
Every time I see you, I'm filled with pride
and affection because of the way you are.
With your parents and everyone who needs you.
It's a lot of things.
Why didn't you ever tell me how you felt?
I never would've judged you.
I don't know.
To be honest,
I held it in because of Lady Altagracia too.
She not only let me sell sandwiches at her office,
she also let me into her life and her home.
It was uncomfortable to be there feeling the way I feel
and knowing what I know.
She even offered to let me be her assistant.
Hey...
does Altagracia know how you feel about me?
No.
God forbid.
I already feel like a traitor as it is.
Look, as much as I want to get away from Lady Altagracia,
I can't.
Lydia needs help with her medical bills
and I have to buy my dad's medication.
I'm broke too.
I need the job, that's all.
I can't get away from all this.
And don't think it doesn't hurt to see you two together.
I'm not made of stone.
Monica, you're a gorgeous woman.
-Stop. -I mean it...
Really, Saul, don't go there.
I don't want you to tell me about all the guys out there
who would kill to be with me.
I don't want to hear the usual rejection speech.
I'm very clear on how I feel and what's going on here.
I'm in love with you.
I fell in love with you like a fool.
Yeah... I fell in love with you.
That's right, ma'am.
Believe me, I love your son.
It's very hard to talk about my feelings,
but I'm doing so because...
Because you're trying to fool us.
You want to manipulate my son, don't you?
So you can get rid of him later
like you did with your ex-husband.
You use men and then toss them away, don't you?
I won't allow you to...
No, I'm the one who won't allow you to do to my son
what you've done to all the other men in your life.
Who are you calling?
Hold on a sec.
Maybe Margarita will answer.
It's a good thing you didn't go to the trial.
You spared yourself a bad time.
You know how those corrupt bastards are.
They're like cats.
They always land on their feet.
Hello?
Margarita...
Is Monica with you?
Hi, Yesenia.
No, Monica left with Saul. He was really upset.
They went to the tenement.
I'm at the hospital with Lydia.
Send Lydia lots of kisses
and tell her we'll go see her soon.
Monica is with Saul.
What?
If Altagracia came to see him,
then all three of them must be together.
Calm down.
Altagracia knows Monica is Saul's friend.
What matters right now is that she doesn't see
either of us with Monica.
She can't connect us to her.
Monica, please.
You don't have to do this.
-Saul, please... -We're talking.
I'm not being bratty and I don't regret anything either.
I said what I had to say. I don't want to talk anymore.
But I do.
I don't want you to console me or try to make me feel better.
I don't want your pity.
No way.
I could never pity someone like you.
That's what you've felt from the very beginning.
That's why you helped me when I got here.
I was this innocent, helpless girl who was new to the city
and that's why...
No.
You're one of the strongest people I know.
Exactly.
I'm going to turn the page
and forget about all this nonsense.
You know what?
I think it's best if we give each other some space.
I want to avoid you and Lady Altagracia.
Now I have to quit my job.
You don't have to do that. She...
I don't care about her, Saul.
I care about myself.
I don't feel comfortable around her,
much less now after I told you how I feel.
It's really uncomfortable.
Monica.
Does your job as Lady Altagracia's maid
include making the beds at her lover's house?
What are you talking about?
Oh please, Saul.
Don't act so innocent.
I know Lady Altagracia is up there with you.
Mom, where's Aunt Altagracia?
I don't know. She left a while ago.
Why?
I wanted to thank her for saving me from the trial.
I guess I'll let her know tomorrow.
Isabela, where are you going all dressed up?
I'm not telling you.
What do you mean?
I'm your mother.
I'm not a little girl who believes all your lies.
I know you have secrets,
so get used to it because I have mine too.
Isabela, come here!
I'm not going to chase you.
I won't discuss my previous relationships with you,
but rest assured that Saul is very different to me.
Oh sure!
Until you're bored of him and get rid of him, right?
Jaime... please.
- JAIME, POR FAVOR.
Ma'am, you should go.
Hold on a sec, Azucena.
A while ago my wife and I lost our daughter
and it was because she fell for the wrong person,
a murderer who little by little beat her to death
without us even noticing.
I'm truly sorry.
Ha!
The only thing you truly want to do is manipulate my son.
I won't allow Saul to suffer the same fate as his sister
and end up dead because he fell for the wrong person.
I know the kind of people you have around you.
Go with them and leave us alone.
The next time we see each other will be in court.
Period.
-Excuse me. -With pleasure.
What makes you think Altagracia is here?
Look, there's your boss...
and Saul's boss too because now he does
everything Lady Altagracia says.
Were you at my parents' house?
Why?
I was trying to come to an agreement with your father
because he's suing me.
What?
Did you know about this, Ximena?
She not only knows, she signed off on it.
She's his attorney.
She fueled the rage Mr. Jaime feels towards me.
It was your father's idea.
Mr. Jaime thought of it
because you had the wonderful idea to send your goons back.
That's enough.
Stop talking about my father.
This is between us.
Excuse me.
Monica!
What happened?
I'm not in the mood. I'm really not.
What'd she say?
Nothing!
Hey!
How much money did you give your friends
so they'd let the criminal who almost killed Lydia walk free?
Magdalena, please.
In any other circumstance, I'd set you straight, ma'am.
You can send your thugs all you want,
but we're not afraid.
We know you want to kick us out of here,
but we're not going to let you.
No way.
Enough already!
Don't yell at her.
Where are you going, ma'am?
To celebrate that punk's victory
with all your bigwig pals
while Lydia is suffering in the hospital?
Are we going to let that slide?
No way!
Everyone settle down and show some respect for my lady.
LADY ALTAGRACIA
