(music) this time i don't intend to listen to sanity today i will give myself the doses of madness i'm missing i will leave my resignation at the door to the norm i have followed and to everything known i no longer want to please this path because i want to fall in love only by instinct without thinking about anything to share with you to be the protagonist of a new story and walk with you i seek to fall in love like when we were children reaching for clouds towards infinity to temper the fear giving everything swimming next to you and give you day by day every moment of my life and be happy it's good that you stopped it and you told her you broke up, it was already fair and necessary. I don't know, i don't want to lose her, dad.

What i feel for her i haven't felt for anyone else. Well, then, it seems not anymore, at least that's what it looks like.

Look, son, you have to change the formula. You have to start being a jerk.

Behave badly, make yourself desired. Women like bad boys.

No, dad. I refuse to treat badly the woman i love.

So, what? What do you want to be?

A lapdog chasing after the preppy girl? No.

Look, see what's going to happen. She's going to leave the house and she's going to come back begging you.

Why do you think i don't beg her, sofía? Because i know their relationship will end and she'll come to me.

Both peralta avitia girls will come to us. Sofía and bárbara will be ours and we're going to be a great family.

(notification alert) (laughs) look, speak of the devil. (knocking at the door) come in.

Barbi, i'll leave your suitcase here. Thanks.

Your mom's not here. I think she's at the company.

I haven't told her anything about why you came back home. Okay.

I'll explain to her. Don't worry.

And i also wanted to ask you. Why...?

Why did you come back? Did something happen?

Whatever, i mean... Look, i don't have to explain anything to you.

Barbi, listen to me. Did carlo hurt you?

No, not at all. Look, i mean...

Honestly, i don't know what's going to happen. But well, we decided to take a break.

You know, they're like normal crises for newlywed couples and stuff. And that's it?

Nothing else happened? No, nothing.

No, salvador, no. Don't ever kiss me again, rascal.

Rex. Can you stop working?

There's something we need to talk about. I know you're my dad.

But if you're coming to talk to me about what happened with chava, well, i'm old enough, right, dad? Wow!

So, explain to me why you and chava ended up arrested for public indecency. Well, because we were kissing, dad.

Haven't you ever done it? Yes, but kisses lead to other things.

And i've never set a bad example for you, remedios. Why are you calling me remedios?

Come on, tell me. What did you expect to happen with salvador in that car?

Which part do you want me to tell you, dad? The stork or the hot part that i really wanted to happen?

Don't make fun of me. I imagine you already talked about being careful.

Yes, dad, yes. Just calm down, okay?

So, you also talked about what would happen if you got pregnant like your cousin bárbara, right? She's your mirror.

Would you get married, my love? Because your thing with salvador looks quite informal.

And why are you telling me these things, dad? Look, salvador can be my friend, i know him, but he's still married.

Besides, he's always focused on bárbara. Well, that's my problem, dad.

I decide who breaks my heart, right? That's life.

Oh well. Besides...

Well, there's already another man who can take care of me. Look, remedios, you're going to listen to me.

Unlike your relationship with salvador, mine and yours as father and daughter is forever. So no matter what happens, you'll always be my daughter.

Sir, my recommendation would be to leave. Your job is to protect me.

Do it. Is it really you who summoned me here?

Yes, aramis, it's me. The love of your life.

Believe me, it's not a pleasure to see you here today. I'm going to be direct.

You have become my father's best friend, haven't you? Do you know about the atrocious businesses he has?

That's right, sofia. That's right.

I know everything about aramis, even things you can't imagine. You're a cynic.

So, you're part of these businesses? Of course, of course.

Now i understand this sudden friendship. You're just like...

No, no. Sofía, sofía.

- sofía, listen to me, listen to me. - don't touch me.

Listen to me, listen to me. I am the complete opposite of your father.

- really? - yes, i have crossed the same hell for you, to protect you, for a sacrifice, for love.

- what are you talking about? I will always repeat it to you, sofía.

You are the love of my life. I love you and i will love you my whole life.

Get that straight. Between you and me, there will be nothing, there is nothing.

There can be nothing. Many years ago, and clearly all this has changed.

No, no, no, no. Not everything has changed.

My love for you hasn't changed. If you loved me as you say, you wouldn't be an accomplice to the crimes my father commits.

- i am an accomplice. - oh, no?

No, no, no. You have to understand that the only way to protect you was this.

- protect me? - yes.

- protect me from what? I have absolutely nothing to do with that.

My hands are not stained with blood. - don't tell me...

- sofía, sofía. Let's be realistic, please.

If they find out about your father, do you think it won't affect you? They're going to destroy you, your family, your daughter and your sister.

Everything will fall apart, like a house of cards. Why can't you understand that it's been years that i've been trying to protect you, to shield you?

You're absurd, a criminal, dude. Don't take me...

I just don't... Hey, no, no, no.

- everything's fine. - everything's fine, everything's fine.

It's okay. I want you to listen to me, sofía.

- ok. - yes, i am your father's friend.

Yes, yes, i admit it. But i've done it to destroy him.

And you can do your part too, you can also get justice. It's up to you to change your world.

I don't know if you're smart or very innocent, candelaria. You shouldn't have come.

Do i look very happy to be here? I had already killed you in my heart, in my soul.

For me, you died the day i learned all your disgusting truth. If i were you, i'd watch my tongue.

Walls can hear, and it's not good for you. Are you going to kill me?

Do it. Be the man you've never been.

Shoot me if you want to so badly. I know you're eager to.

I can't deny i did have that fantasy. When you asked me to leave, i was so angry.

You were abandoning me. I should have killed you.

The good thing is that at least you're honest, right? But i couldn't do it.

I'm not going to do it. Because what i feel for you is still alive.

I still feel the same way about you. I hate you.

Because i love you. I didn't come back for you.

I didn't come looking for you to have a romance, aramis. Your wife is for that.

I came because you're destroying my family's life. And aren't you destroying mine?

If you had told me you were pregnant by me, so many things would be different. Well, that would have been a damn dream.

One that you turned into a nightmare. If you had told me what a monster you were, i could stop loving you.

Do you love me now? Do you still feel something for me?

Look at me, candelaria. Tell me the truth.

Do you love me like i love you? (groans) do you want me to stop?

No. No, i don't want you to stop, but...

But... You're driving me crazy because...

You drive me crazy too. Completely crazy.

I want everything with you. Everything.

Everything. I love you, barbi.

Me too. But i don't know if this is right, because on one hand my head tells me that i have to stop and my heart...

What does your heart tell you? What do you want to do?

Daughter, i don't know what else to say, i don't know what else to do for you to understand that for me the most important thing in my life is for you to be happy. Now it turns out you care about me, dad.

- about my happiness. - how?

But i've always done it, rex. - since day one.

- and you still lie. Why?

I don't know who you are anymore. Do i have to repeat it?

And do i have to remind you, dad? I asked you not to tell anyone anything.

I asked you not to love sofía. And look, there you go.

I'm not going to discuss a topic we've already talked about, my love. On the call you told me very clearly that you don't care what i think about it.

So let's leave it at that. My love, my love.

Remedios, please. I also have the right to love.

I don't see what the sin is. And i tell you the same, dad.

I have the right to love salvador or whoever i want. Tell me everything you think and everything you feel, everything.

Oh, i adore you. I love you very much, salvador.

I love your kisses, your eyes, your precious little beard. Well, that makes two of us.

What are you saying? That i also have a precious little beard?

No. Then?

I'm just playing, my little king. I love it when you call me that.

Well, that's your name, isn't it? - salvador reyes.

- yes. - and you, barbi.

- you're my little king. And you are barbi, my little queen.

And i die for you. Where were you, huh?

(knocking at the door) (gonzalo) bárbara. - bárbara.

- dad! Bárbara, forgive me, forgive me.

I didn't see anything, i didn't see anything, i didn't see anything, i didn't see anything, i didn't see anything. But i urgently need to talk to you, bárbara.

Yes, dad, i'm coming. Didn't you break anything?

You made me a promise and you broke it. My own grandfather put a gun to my head and you hesitated for her.

You even lied about the kiss video. Because i was trying to protect you.

No. You were trying to protect yourself, dad.

Okay, okay, enough, enough. I love sofia.

But i also love you. And one thing doesn't have to interfere with the other.

That's why. Leave me alone.

Leave me with my decisions, dad. Remedios, come on, don't be stubborn, my love.

No, no, no, you're the stubborn one. If i want my heart broken, i'll decide who does it, dad.

And i don't want you to keep breaking my heart, so just leave me alone. My love, i love you.

I love you too, dad. But i don't know who you are anymore.

If it took you so long to answer me, it's because you're hiding strong feelings. I loved you, but now i don't recognize you.

I stopped doing that a long time ago. I am the same man who came to you seeking help and ended up losing his heart.

As skillful with words as ever. You're still in your dirty business, aren't you?

I had to. My family was in danger.

They made me come back. I didn't want to.

Uh-huh, and i'm a suck-up. I know you like to dominate people, you like to control other people's lives.

I could never dominate you, candelaria. You were always a free spirit.

That's why i fell in love with you. I'm the one who needed your help, not the other way around.

I wish i could talk to god and know if what you say is true. But he stopped listening to me many years ago.

I know you have more secrets. What do you want?

What are you looking for? Not you.

I want my daughter to live in peace. I don't want her to be your copy.

I want you to respect me. If i kept her away from you, it was for a reason.

Fate brought her back to me. It was inevitable.

If you know anything about me, it's that i always take care of my family. No.

You hurt them. That's what you know how to do.

You hurt your daughters, sofia, catalina. And now you want to do the same with my daughter, with georgina.

And also with my remedios. What can i do for you to believe me?

That you be born again, aramis. That way perhaps you can be reborn as a good father and a good man.

That was the only way to absorb your father's sins. To get close to him.

To be able to destroy him from within. Your love was what gave me strength.

Well, you haven't achieved anything, have you? My dad is stronger than ever.

It's a matter of time. If i waited an eternity to be with you, anything is worth it.

Why do this? When you were enough, victorio, you were the love of my life.

And now, his accomplice? - have mercy.

- no, sofía, it's not like that. You are very intelligent.

You know perfectly well that it's the only way. But it's about lives.

Of women, of innocent women. Why?

Who does he think he is to have the right to hurt them like that? Do you know what's happening to me?

It makes me angry that i'm not doing anything, that no one is doing anything because there's a lot of filth involved in those businesses, because there's a lot of corruption, and there are a lot of families in misfortune suffering from the disappearance of their daughters. They destroy lives.

And you think i don't have nightmares? Every night i hear their cries, their pleas, but i'm willing to listen to it to save future lives and to give you the peace you deserve.

I can't be at peace like this. I can't be calm.

I don't even know what i'm telling you. I have to report you, victorio.

Sofia, sofia, sofia. Sofia, feel my heart.

If i were a monster, my heart wouldn't beat like this. I'm with franco.

And yes, you are a monster. And you don't know how envy consumes me.

Because all of this was meant for me, sofía. For us.

You and i were destined to be happy, to be a family. Can you leave now?

Or should i make the call? If you want to report me, do it.

I will accept the punishment, but your dad will remain free. Better yet, when you're ready, find me.

And we will be the couple we were meant to be. I should hate myself, victorio.

I should, but i can't. I don't know why.

(sighs) it's okay. It's okay.

I can love you for both of us. Okay, okay, okay.

I didn't see anything, honey, okay? But i'm going to ask you a favor that if you're going to have a moment of...

Of intimacy, please, lock the door, okay? That's the best thing you can do.

No, i mean... I think we're both adults, barbi, and you know perfectly well what i'm talking about.

Honestly, no. Let's see.

I didn't think it would be so complicated to say, but what i mean, bárbara, is that if you're going to... You know, like you alone...

No, dad, stop! Ugh!

I mean, of course not. No, no, let's see, i was like that because...

I was dying of heat. Uh...

But what were you going to tell me? Why did you come or what's up?

- we agreed to be honest, right? - yes.

There's something that worries me a lot, and it's about your mom. What happened?

Is my mom in danger? Well, she's the one who put herself in danger.

She's exposing her intimacy with the pulques. How?

I don't know how long she's been writing this to your mother, but it's becoming public that she is the author of all these erotic stories. And this, barbi, this is going to sink us all.

Ugh, it seems like not even the sun warms you up, right, buddy? Oh, don't even tell me, friend.

I had a big fight with rex and i feel terrible. Hey, what if i teach you how to do a mantra to relax?

It works, i've seen it, it calms you down a lot. No, i already have blankets, thanks.

In fact, i bought a cool tiger one at a fair years ago, and i opened... Mantra with r, mantra.

Well, if that's what you want to call it, that's cool. Sometimes i say "aigre".

But look, more than doing mantras, it does help me when i put it on top of me, because it is warm and... - wait, wait.

Mm? Mm?

Mm. - om...

- (meows) om. Om.

Jochis, i have a message for you, it's from your boyfriend. Darn it!

Do we have a boyfriend already? I'm saying the same thing, she's dating a guy named limón.

Limón, rocket-head limonete, the one from the company? The one who wears bullfighter pants?

- this one. - look, no, i'm not dating him.

And no, he doesn't wear bullfighter pants. What?

Are you jealous, sweetie? Me, jealous?

(laughs) oh, for goodness sake, jochis. It looks like it, huh?

You turned red like a shrimp. Well, let me see what my boyfriend sent me.

(laughs) - oh! - no, for christ's sake, and it's family hour, what a size.

- oh. - well, you're doing well, huh?

Come on, dare yourself, send him one. It's clear they're really desperate.

I just can't believe why rex didn't want to open my gift. Oh, come on, calm down, monica.

Why complain? You already know.

Better, because look, if he had opened it, well, it would have been terrifying. Yes, yes, i wanted his face to melt off.

Oh, he's so vulgar, limón. I don't understand why your guild has to be so exhibitionist.

Wait, wait, madam, it's a collective. We haven't reached union status yet, and believe me, it works better this way, hmm?

You know i love you, i appreciate you, i'm going to ask you to take care of yourself. I don't want your heart to be broken.

Thank you very much, doña inés, and thanks for lending me your apartment, you know i'm discreet. Uh-huh, too many details, right?

In any case, it's not free. I need your help to negotiate.

Scram, scram, scram or stay. Alright, bye.

Um, dear lady, to what do i owe the honor? Did you already screw over my ex-husband?

Well, not yet, but the trap is already set. I just need mariano to, well, take the mop.

I don't understand why men always have to speak so, so, so colorfully. Look, sir, here the refined lady needs answers, and if she wants to screw over mariano, she will.

Well, how embarrassing, okay. Look, take it.

Here, everything in order. Ah!

(groans) doña cande, is it necessary to do this at this hour? This girl has to go to sleep.

I know, but it won't take long. I'm not sleeping on that horrible mattress they gave me yesterday, listen.

I don't know how they can sleep on those rocks. Listen, our mattresses are not rocks, they are nice and i like them.

Well, congratulations, honey. But i'm going to sleep in my hammock.

Can you hurry up, please? Oh, no wonder don aramis noticed you.

What, don't you want a foot massage too? No.

I have a corn and it hurts. So, you're a mermaid?

- (laughs) - oh, no. The faster i finish, the faster we'll all go to sleep.

I'm already very tired, man. - well, me too.

- look. I have cash, if you want i'll pay you double this month.

No receipt, no invoice, nothing. You should have started there.

With great pleasure, doña cande. Well, right?

Let it be clear that i don't like her that much. See, well, me neither.

Well, me neither. (groans) it's been years since i trained like this.

(laughs) but you are, really, in very good shape, huh? I mean, for not having trained in many years.

(laughs) calm down, handsome? - what?

- i mean, yes, i haven't trained, but i have done some exercise. - really?

- besides, in all these years, i've acquired new skills. - ah.

- yes, you? Do you have anything new to tell me?

Yes, i have, i have several. I'll show them to you later if you want.

Hey, let's see, and those skills of yours, who taught them to you? That benjamin guy from the mysterious calls?

No, no. Benjamin ramos has been a good ally and he's had a very hard time.

His family suffered a lot because of something my dad's partner did. Right now, we shouldn't talk about that.

You know what? Seeing you like this, so well, happy, positive, it reminds me a lot of, well, what we were, what we lost, what was stolen from us.

Yes. Our daughter, our love.

But soon, julián. Soon, i'm sure, we're going to be happy.

And we're going to be together forever, i swear. - deal?

- deal. (laughs) sorry to say this, but you don't even look like mrs.

Georgina's daughter. You are kinder.

Are you sure you don't want anything else? No, thank you.

And well, i have hands, i can serve myself. (laughs) and how have you been feeling, dear?

Here, at home. Well, to be honest, a little strange.

I feel like my family just came here for everything to be completely destroyed. Stop.

Salvador, are you crazy? - do you want us to get caught?

- well, come on, we always think we're going to get caught and we don't. And listen to me, i'm very happy.

I probably won't be able to sleep. Please, please, shut up, shut up, shut up.

Splash cold water on yourself if you need to. You don't know what my dad is like when he gets angry.

And i don't want them to fire you, okay? Okay.

Well, what did he tell you? No, i didn't hear anything.

Nothing, there are problems again. Hey, what about you and me?

Is there nothing left? Come on, please.

You and i have to land here, on planet earth. - "minimum.

" - minimum? Yes, no way, salvador.

Come on, no, it just can't happen again, okay? Well, but it happened.

I know what happened, we got carried away, but now, erase it from your mind. Please.

- i don't promise. - come on, salvador.

Oh... Oh.

Remedios, what are you doing here? My mom hasn't arrived, right?

She shouldn't be long, she's at the office. Uh...

Can you make me a smoothie or something, iced, please? I'm, i'm roasting.

- yes, yes, yes. - now you, why?

Why are you roasting, when it's not even hot here? Oh.

From anger, i mean, i'm like this because... I just found out some things about our parents.

Seriously, we have to put a stop to that. What are you doing here?

This isn't your company anymore. I just wanted to know how my daughter is.

What's bothering your conscience, aramis? Why the drawn sword, sofia?

How do you expect me to be? The man i have in front of me every day moves further away from the father i thought i knew.

Was i really such a bad father? I always thought i had done everything possible to protect you and your sister.

When i was a child, i dreamed of the moment when you would come back home. Over time i learned that peace was there when you weren't around.

- you're breaking my heart. - oh, you have.

Your sister, my granddaughters, and you are the only engine i have. Find someone who reciprocates.

Get out! Oh.

Thank you. It's hard for me to do it alone.

Gina, you will always be my daughter's mother. And it's not like i want to see you suffer either.

Today, when catalina taught rex and me how to swim, seeing them together, i felt a lot of fear, franco. You're right.

They have a very strong mother-daughter connection. I know, gina.

And we can't hide the truth forever. Rex has some of catalina's and julián's temperament.

And what are we going to do? If we tell her the truth, we'll lose her forever.

We're already losing her, gina. And telling her the truth might be the only way to get her back.

(sobs) i know what happened. We got carried away, but now, erase it from your mind.

Please. - what's up?

- what's up? I didn't know you were here.

No, i was here... Nothing, just thinking.

What's wrong, chava? What's wrong?

No, nothing, it's... It was your mom's song, right?

Yes. I don't know.

I was listening to it and... Well, i started reflecting on many things.

I have... I'm very afraid of being abandoned and that's why i'm afraid to be alone.

But it's nonsense. Yes.

It's not nonsense and no one is going to abandon you. I'm always here with you.

I love you. Okay?

Hey, can i ask you a question? It's just that...

Well, i was talking to my dad and he kind of brainwashed me and... Do you really like me?

Really, really? Yes.

Of course, rex. Of course i like you.

Really, really. Are you in love with me?

Yes. Yes, me too.

We can't tell the truth, franco. - no.

- and what do we do, gina? Stay silent forever?

Come on, what kind of people are we if we do that? Two parents are looking for their daughter and we know where she is.

Because they would know if you or ines decide to speak. And have you thought about how sofia would react if she found out the size of the secret you're hiding from her?

(piano playing) hello. What are you doing here?

Nothing. Uh...

Read what she wrote. You're going to realize that you've been putting our lives.

She changed the names, but here she's even talking about you. What happened?

What's wrong? What happened, my love?

You can trust me, you know, right? Nothing, it's just...

I'm having problems with carlos and... Uh-huh.

I wanted to come here, if there are no problems. There will never be problems, this is your home, beautiful, you can always come back.

Do you want to talk to me? Do you want to tell me?

Oh, i need... Sorry for the interruption.

You have a visitor, she says it's urgent. Good evening.

I know it's not visiting hours, but... You have been with me from the beginning and...

And i needed to see a friend's face. Are you okay?

What do you need? Can you bring her some tea, please?

- yes, yes. - no.

No, thank you, what i need is for you to help me. I discovered that...

That bolero was cheating on me long before he ended his relationship with me. I never thought that at any point a man would be unfaithful to me, but he was cheating on me with...

With marisol reyes. And the worst part is that now she is making fun of me.

Marisol? She seems like a nice, decent woman to me.

She told me that... That she would do anything to take the love of my life from me and...

And all because he found out that i... That i'm also pregnant.

(sobbing) i like you a lot, i like you a lot. Rex, are you sure?

Yes, yes. I like decisive men, don't ask me anymore.

I never thought marisol would be capable of doing something like this to me. Marisol approached me, pretended to be my friend, told me about her money problems and...

And i even lent her some. I'm so sorry, grecia.

Now, i didn't imagine that marisol would be capable of doing something like that. - it's strange.

- no. There are women like that.

They enjoy it when others suffer and they mock us to our face. - (nods) hey, does bolero know about your pregnancy?

Of course. That's why he stopped loving me.

(cries) - - grecia. No, no, no.

I mean, seriously, it makes me so angry. Why are men like that?

Why can't they show a little respect? Honestly, no, no...

I don't understand why they have to be such jerks. I...

I don't want to be a single mother. Relax, relax.

You're not going to raise that baby alone. We are your friends and i remind you that you were also with us in difficult times.

In difficult times. We are here with you.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

(cries) i spoke with ramses and asked him to release the territory while we resolve the pending issues. If he doesn't accept, tell me, to pressure him.

Are you okay? What's wrong, aramis?

You seem distant. I feel like a bad man.

(laughs) well, we're very far from selling eggnog and cookies, so yes, yes, we're technically very bad. Check.

I saw candelaria and she told me just what i expected, that she doesn't want to love me, that i'm a bad father. Then i visited sofía...

And my daughter was cruel. Well, you have to relax.

Sofía is very tough, but i think it's her way of loving you. It's like she knows something about me.

Do you think candelaria confessed something, or gallardo? Well, i wouldn't be surprised.

But if that was the case, you must get rid of them, because it's clear they're not respecting you. Give them a scare.

If i were a suspicious person, i'd swear you're trying to manipulate me. No, no, no.

What happened, aramis? I am loyal to you, my destiny is by your side.

If you fall, i will fall too. Carlo, where is my granddaughter?

Look, don aramis, i don't know how to tell you this, but barbie and i decided to take a break. A break?

What kind of stupidity is that? My granddaughter is your wife and she's already expecting your child.

Aramis, i think you should listen to carlo. No, victorio.

What your bastard needs is to put on his pants. If you're not capable of taking care of my granddaughter, you're not part of my family.

And you? How did it go with victorio?

- were you able to confront him? - (nods) i don't know, not a single one.

I mean, he left me with more doubts than answers. No, no, i don't know, i don't know, i can't believe that someone who says they love me could have been capable of lying to me like this.

Uh, sofia, i... - it's important that i...

- (message alert) ... Tell you...

How strange, right? What's happening?

It can't be. Don't tell me another threat.

It's my blog. It's, it's, uh...
