SINOPSIS FROM THE IMDB
Plot Summary for "Amor real" (2003)
[TRANSLATION OF ESMAS SUMMARY]
In 19th century
Mexico, Dr. Manuel Fuentes Guerra inherits a fortune of his father, whom never
wanted to recognize him as his son. Now turned into a millionaire gentleman,
the doctor looks for an appropriate wife. His election falls on Matilde
Penalver y Beristain, daughter of an aristocratic family but that has come to less.
Manuel, and Matilde's family ignore that she is compromised in secret to a
military official by the name of Adolfo Solis. Augusta, the mother of Matilde,
has Adolfo put in jail, and Humberto, Matilde's brother, contracts a woman to
fake to being Adolfo's in front of Matilde. Now Augusta obligates her daughter
to get married to Manuel. Adolfo escapes from jail, but not in time to prevent
the wedding. But Matilde discovers the trap that her family had put on her, and
suspects that her husband had something to do with it. She decides to abandon
him that same day of the wedding, but Manuel discovers her and takes her by the
force to his ranch where he subjects her to all types of physical and moral
vexations. Adolfo, under another identity, gets to the ranch and is hired by
Manuel to be the administrator of Manuel's two ranches, and Manuel gives him
all of his confidence. Grudgingly, Matilde has discovered that her husband has
many virtues and she finally falls in love with him. The hapiness of Matilde
and Manuel shall last very little, especially when the doctor discovers that
his administrator is his wife's ex-boyfriend. To Matilde will come the
repudiation of her husband, the expulsion from her home, and the public shame
because she is pregnant and Manuel doesn't want to recognize his child.

Damiana tells Manuel about her talk with
Father Urbano that Antonia leave San Cayetano. Adolfo tells Matilde that he's
sure that Humberto and Agusta planned his imprisonment and not Manuel. Matilde
confesses to Adolfo that her feelings for him have changed and that she has
fallen in love with Manuel. Rosario interrupts them and Matilde tells him she
never wants to see him again. Manuel assures Antonia that she can stay but she
plans a seed of doubt when she tells him that the priest suggested for her to
leave because Matilde asked him to. Matilde blames herself for all that is
happening. Manuel asks Adolfo for his help and is perplexed by his attitude.
Adolfo hits Humberto on his way out of the main house. Adolfo orders Delfino to
sell his ranch so he can pay Humberto. Manuel asks Matilde what is wrong with
her but she covers saying nothing is wrong. They discuss Adolfo Solis when a
bell rings and Manuel tells his wife something is wrong. Matilde tells Manuel
to be careful and he asks her if she really cares and she says she does when he
has to leave. Adolfo arrives on the scene and Manuel tells him that his fields
have been set on fire. Everyone works frantically to control the fire as people
become trapped in their huts and houses. Manuel tells Adolfo that they need to
take the victims to the hospital. Matilde decides to go into town to help after
Antonia says she's going. Adolfo and other try to control the fire as Manuel
and Dr. Jacobo try to help the burn victims. Antonia arrives with Matilde
behind her as Manuel asks his wife to calm down the women. The workers find El
Negro hidden in the crops as Benigno signals to him to be quiet and Delfino
tells Adolfo that he saw the men with Quintero at the local bar. Benigno leaves
as Felipe orders El Negro be locked up in San Cayetano until Manuel decides
what to do. Quintero orders Benigno to kill El Negro. Adolfo informs Manuel
about the dead and about El Negro. Matilde helps the patients as Manuel asks
Felipe to ask Father Urbano for help. Delfino on his way to Adolfo's ranch sees
Benigno in San Cayetano and follows him. Benigno kills El Negro and Delfino
kills Benigno when he tries to kill him. Antonia tries to humiliate Matilde but
Manuel tells her to stop competing with his wife or he'll back out on his word
to let her stay at San Cayetano. Silvano helps Adolfo as Father Urbano learns
the seriousness of the situation. Silvano questions Rosario and asks her why
she didn't tell him that Manuel was Joaquin's son and she runs away. The
foreman tells Manuel that El Negro and Benigno are dead and Quintero is
surprised. Adolfo tells Matilde that Delfino is selling his ranch to pay
Humberto and that if Manuel is investigating him it's because he's jealous and
asks her if she really loves Manuel and she walks away. Adolfo tells himself
that the only loser in this story is him. Quintero wonders who killed Benigno.
Father Urbano lies to Silvano that the woman he met is not the Rosario he knew.
Manuel informs Adolfo that both men were killed and tells Matilde they are
going home. Father Urbano tells Silvano not to open his mouth when Manuel
approaches and tells his godfather that he's going to give his people all the
supplies they need to rebuild. Silvano asks the priest if he thinks he'll
remember him and he answers saying that he wouldn't forget him since he's the
one that taught him all the bad habits it took him years to get rid of. Manuel
confronts his foreman as Adolfo defends him. He then retires to him room as he
tells Matilde that he's too tired to take off his clothes. Matilde tells him
that she admires him as he thanks her for helping him. Manuel asks her if she
really loves him and she says she does and they kiss and he tells her that he's
not that tired after all. Adolfo recalls Matilde's words as he realizes that he

Manuel discuss the war at lunch when Renato tells them to change the subject. Gregorio
thanks Manuel and tells him they have to leave. Antonia is angry that she
wasn't invited to the lunch but is shocked when Damiana tells her that if she
was in her place she would have already poisoned Matilde's tea or put a
scorpion in her clothes. Adolfo tells Humberto that he'll have his money in a
few days and then he'll leave but if he tries to blackmail Matilde again he'll
return to kill him. Manuel and Matilde talk about the elder Hereida daughter
Catalina when they are interrupted with the arrival of Sixto Valdez and
Adelaida Sandoval (Tanya Vasquez). Matilde becomes nervous and doesn't want to
see them until Manuel forces her to when she tells him they'll probably say
what he told them to. Matilde is confused when she sees Adelaida who isn't the

Humberto and he denies knowing Bernarda. Matilde confesses to Rosario who
Felipe really is and that she's never been unfaithful to Manuel. Rosario tells
Matilde that if Adolfo returns she'll tell Manuel the truth. Antonia apologizes
to Manuel and then confronts Matilde and he doesn't believe her. She tells him
to hit her or kill her since he doesn't believe her and that she has nothing to
live for. As Manuel tries to comfort his wife Adelaida tells Sixto what
Bernarda and Humberto did to Matilde and Adolfo. Damiana keeps giving Antonia
bad advice. Sixto tells Manuel that his wife has told him the truth about a
woman coming to her house saying she was Adolfo's wife and that Humberto paid
her to do it. Manuel feels bad about mistrusting his wife and looks in on her
as she sleeps after he gave her a potion to calm her nerves. Sixto leaves
without ever seeing Felipe and Antonia complains to Manuel that there's a man
in the kitchen giving orders. Manuel confronts him and learns that he's his old
friend Silvano and they catch up on old times. Matilde meets Silvano and learns
that Manuel's mother's name was Rosario. Manuel apologizes to his wife and
tells him that Humberto paid that woman to go to her house and to tell her
brother to leave before he returns from town where he's going to look for
Felipe. Adolfo arrives at his ranch as Manuel tells Quintero that Felipe is
missing. Delfino confesses to Adolfo that he killed Benigno because he was
going to kill him. Quintero receives a telegram and realizes that Felipe
Santamaria is Adolfo Solis.

Telenovela-World: Fleshing out Alta's Wonderful Spoilers?
Last night's detailed experiment:
Author: Jardinera654 (---)
Date: 12-08-04 14:01 PST
Some people have
asked for (hinted?) that they wanted a bit more detail. Alta has her hands full
and does a wonderful job at translating all the Televisa summaries for all
these forums, as I have already written her. There are some watchers like my
husband who don't know enough Spanish to really fill in the blanks, though they
enjoy watching what they can understand. It's those finer details that make the
story go from interesting to great. Because I cannot believe he's the ONLY one
watching who is "inconvenienced"/"handicapped" in this way,
I experimented in adding just a bit of extra things to last night's
POST-episode spoiler (I use it as a summary for afterward) that I printed off
for him.
I thought I'd try
posting it for whomever might like it. The others who don't like it can just
pass it by, ok? I don't mind. It doesn't take me long and I am volunteering
because I appreciate what Alta is already so selflessly doing for us.
So, here is my
experiment. 8=0) =====================
#30--Tues.
Night 12/7 modified from Televisa Productions:
Damiana asks Antonia about the 'medicine' she found. Antonia
lies and says she doesn’t know why but it just ocurred to her to bring it home
since Ana told her at the hospital that it was used to cure things. Damiana
asks if it’s deadly, but Antonia says only “perhaps.” --Rosario agrees with
Prudencia not to tell Matilde or anyone for that matter that she is Manuel's
mother. It can only cause embarrassment to everyone. Therefore she must find a
credible reason that her clever niece will accept in order to convince her that
Rosario is not Manuel’s mother. -- Catalina sees Felipe riding by while she’s
painting near a woodand riverfall on their family’s property, and calls out to
him. --Delfino arrives at San Cayetano and has a confrontation with Silvano.
Neither man knows the other and they begin screaming at each other to identify
themselves, one to the other, until Rosario runs out and explains to Silvano
who Delfino is. Delfino says tomorrow Don Felipe will return from an errand for
Manuel, but Silvano says Manuel knows nothing of it and has been searching
everywhere for the administrator. Delfino just gallops off. He’s to find out if
anyone knows anything about Benigno’s death or Adolfo’s true identity.
--Matilde lies to Delfino and tells him that Manuel knows who Adolfo really is
and so Adolfo cannot return. Delfino says they have Humberto’s money and she
says her brother’s already left so it doesn’t matter so don’t come back or
there’ll be a fight when he returns. Delfino worries that her husband has hurt
her after finding out but she ignores his concerns. -- Adolfo tells Catalina
that Manuel sent him to buy arms to protect themselves from Quintero. Catalina
asks Adolfo is he's married and tells him she doesn’t yet have a suitor. Adolf
says she’s young and pretty and will soon find somebody. She worries that her
coughing won’t allow her to but Adolfo says it’ll be cured. Quintero learns
that Adolfo is returning the following day. He’s upset that one of the
landowners has complained to Ramon Munez, who’s written to inform Quintero that
Quintero's been implicated in the cattle rustling and the deadly fire and he is
therefore sending an inspector. Quintero suspects it’s Manuel’s doing and
wonders aloud to his assistant who might be a good enough shot to do away with
Fuentes Guerra on the sly. -- Manuel meets a soldier named Yves Santibanez de
la Roquette (Harry Geithner) and learns they are distant relatives, and learns
of another cousin named Marie. He asks the lieutenant about his livestock and
Yves shows him that they are not in his barracks emphasizing he’d never take
stolen cattle. -- Matilde wonders how Quintero knows about Adolfo. -- Father
Urbano gets after Rosario for lying and for making him lie also. She threatens
to leave for good if she’s forced to admit the truth to either Matilde or
Manuel. --Damiana learns about Rosario's origin through Ceferina’s gossiping.--Father
Urbano gets after Matilde for running away from him and tells her there could
have been consequences of her unfaithfulness to Manuel. She says she doesn't
understand and he says that there could have been a child; she's shocked,
telling him they only kissed a couple of times and only when he first arrived.
He begs her to tell Manuel the truth but she refuses to, fearing he’d not
understand. Delfino tells Adolfo, whose waiting in the woods, what Matilde told
him about Manuel knowing the truth. --Catalina returns home but wants to see
Adolfo again. Her sister tells her that her mother doesn’t like Sr. Fuentes
Guerra. --Adolfo decides to confront Manuel and to explain he came on his own
account; that although Matilde continually begged him to leave he refused. So
he returns to San Cayetano despite Delfino’s misgivings. --Quintero plans his
next move against Manuel. --Rosario tells Matilde that she knew Manuel's mother
and she tells her story and of the suffering she (the “other Rosario”) went
through. His mother refuses to tell Manuel the truth since she would have to
tell him she led a bad life (i.e. as a prostitute). --Adolfo recognizes Silvano
and asks for Manuel and Matilde when he arrives back at San Cayetano. Adolfo
goes to the casa grande and asks Matilde why she lied and about Manuel knowing
the truth. She explains that Quintero knows about him and that he thinks he's
in the area. She asks that if Adolfo ever loved her he would leave now, but
Adolfo says he still loves her. She says she, however, no longer loves him so
Adolfo finally resigns himself. He admits he’s known for awhile but has needed
time to get used to the idea. He tells her that if Manuel was a bad person he
would have taken her from there by force, but that he's come to realize that Manuel
is a good and noble person and he wishes them well. Matilde cries as Adolfo
backs away and leaves. She continues crying and asks for Adolfo’s forgiveness.
-- Quintero talks to Felipe as Matilde wonders what is going to happen to
Adolfo in the future. Quintero arrests Adolfo when he tells him he knows who he
really is. He explains the coincidences regarding his military background and
the two men’s names considering Benigno heard Delfino call out to him as
“Adolfo” one day. Adolfo refuses again to tell Quintero why Manuel has been so
interested in "him". --Matilde goes to town against her Aunt’s
protests to learn why Adolfo was arrested and to insure he doesn't suffer the
same infamy again. --Renato and Humberto argue again because Humberto hates
their living arrangement. He believes Adolfo will not return. --The kitchen
staff look at one another as Damiana remarks to them that it’s so strange that
the señora would run to town to see about the administrator like that since
usually that would be the patrón’s concern and not his wife’s. -- Quintero
tells Adolfo he'll let him and Delfino both go free if he kills this nuisance
Manuel Fuentes-Guerra for him.

- Quintero wonders why Matilde is asking about her administrator. He denies to
tell Matilde anything about Felipe's arrest and when she sees Humberto she blames
him for all of Adolfo's problems. Delfino tells Adolfo to kill Manuel but he
denies to saying there's no reason to and that he can't kill in cold blood.
Quintero tells Humberto and Renato why he arrested Felipe after Renato tells
him that Ramon Marquez is his brother-in-law. Quintero plans to kill both
Adolfo and Manuel. Manuel learns that Felipe has been arrested and Seferina
tells him that Silvano took Matilde into town to try to help him. Manuel
crosses paths with Matilde who has been convinced by her aunt to tell Manuel
the truth before Quintero does but he tells her they'll talk later. Antonia
tells Damiana that Renato is always asking about Felipe. Delfino keeps telling
Adolfo to kill Manuel and get it over with. An anguished Matilde says that when
Manuel learns the truth he's never going to forgive her. Adolfo accepts
Quintero's deal to kill Manuel. Quintero tells Manuel that he's letting Felipe
go because he made a mistake and Manuel tells him he did it to bother him.
Manuel asks Felipe where he was and he says he went to buy the rifles he wanted
and that Delfino is still detained. Manuel orders Quintero to let Delfino go
and after much insistance he let's him go but not before he tells him to tell
Adolfo that he'll be watching him and to keep in contact with him. Matilde is
worried as Rosario tells Silvano to keep his opinions to himself. Rosario tells
Matilde that Manuel has returned and she thinks that her husband has learned
the truth. Manuel is surprised when Felipe resigns his job and thanks his boss
for everything. Manuel tells Matilde that Felipe is leaving and also tells her
why Quintero had him arrested and then gets after her for going into town in
his absence. He tells her that despite his thinking other people see it wrong
for a woman to do what she did. Adolfo plans his next move. Manuel asks to see
Antonia and Matilde asks him why. He says he wants her to take over for Felipe
until he can write to Sixto again and a nervous Matilde tells her husband to
offer the job of administrator to Antonia or does he think a woman can't handle
it and he agrees to. Humberto learns that Adolfo is no longer in jail. Adolfo
decides to tell Manuel who he really is but not in San Cayetano but somewhere
else and believes that one of them will die. Manuel hires Antonia for the job
and tells her it was Matilde's idea. Matilde explains to Prudencia why she
suggested Manuel hire Antonia to replace Felipe: he won't have to have any
contact with Sixto. Jose Maria arrives at San Cayetano and asks Manuel for Humberto
but he informs him that he left days before. Antonia overhears them and tells
them that Humberto and Renato are staying in town waiting for a friend. Manuel
tells Matilde why her brother was hiding with them and Prudencia explains to
her that Renato told her and that was the reason her brother didn't tell Manuel
the truth. She tells her aunt that if Jose Maria kills her brother he deserves
it and wonders if in revenge he tells Manuel the truth. Antonia asks Felipe
when he's leaving. Jose Maria and Humberto come face to face. Manuel tells
Humberto to repair the damage, marry Josefina or a have a duel with Jose Maria.
He chooses the duel but Renato convinces him to marry Josefina. Adolfo
apologizes to Matilde when Antonia arrives and thanks her for recommending her
for the job. Adolfo writes a letter to Manuel as he tells Matilde that Jose
Maria took Humberto and Renato back to Cuidad Trinidad. Adolfo overhears
Matilde tell Manuel that she could be pregnant and he wishes them well. Felipe
thanks Manuel and leaves but not before he gives the letter he wrote to a young
boy to give to his boss. Matilde tells her aunt that she could be pregnant.
Adolfo visits Quintero and he tells him he's going with him to make sure he
really kills Manuel.

Quintero tells
Adolfo that he must kill Manuel to be set free. Adolfo is taken off to the jail
along with Delfino. Mati and Prudencia arrrive. She demands to know why
Adolpo/Felipe has been detained. She insists this was a misunderstanding.
Quintero looks curious about why the senora is so concerned. He refuses to tell
her anything. She and Prudencia leave but on the way out they run into Humberto
who Mati blames for Adolfo's arrest. They go home. Delfino tells Adolfo to kill
Manuel but Adolfo says there is no reason to do it. He tells Delfino that Mati
came to try to get him out of jail. He's concerned about what her husband will
say if he finds out.
Humberto arrives
to investigate. He tells Quintero that you can't arrest someone without a
cause. He adds that his father is a famous general. Quintero says that's all
well and good but that his father's political group is out of power. Renato
says that is brother-in-law, Ramon, will be concerned about this. This gets
Quintero's attention. He lies and says that Adolfo and Delfino are suspects in
the cattle rustling. As they leave, Humberto and Renato discuss whether Adolfo,
professional soldier, could possibly be a theif. In one of the great lines of
last night IMHO, Renato says, we're the cream and nata (another kind of light
cream) of society and we're thieves!
Quintero plans to
kill both Adolfo and Manuel. Manuel returns home and learns that Felipe/Adolfo
has been arrested and Serefina tells him that Silvano took Mati into town to
try to help him. Manuel crosses paths on the road with Mati who has been
convinced by Prudencia to tell Manuel the truth before Quintero does. Manuel
says that they'll talk later. An anguished Mati says that when Manuel learns
the truth he's never going to forgive her.
Quintero's
assistant tell him that Manuel is outside. Quintero goes inside to the jail and
talks with Adolfo who agrees to kill Manuel. He refuses to let Delfino go as a
guarantee that the deed will be done. Quintero then tells Manuel that
Adolfo/Felipe has been released that it was all a mistake. Manuel tells him he
did it to harrass him. Manuel and Felipe then talk. Manuel says first you
disappear and now you're in jail. What's going on? Felipe/Adolfo says he
disappeared for urgent personal reasons. He bought the rifles that Manuel
wanted. But Delfino is still detained. Manuel charges back into Quintero's
office and demands to know what kind of game Quintero is playing. They release
Delfino but Quintero tells him that he'll have people watching him and to tell
Adolfo that he wants to know when and where the killing of Manuel will be.
Mati is crying!!!
Meanwhile Silvano wants to know from Rosario what is going on with the senora that
she would try to rescue Felipe/Adolfo in this way. She tells him to be quiet.
Rosario tells Mati that her husband has returned and she thinks that he has
learned the truth.
Earlier Demanian
questions the servants about what's been going on. She later tells Antonia that
she learned that Rosario lied about her past and wonders why Mathilde went to
town to rescue Felipe/Adolfo. Antonia tells her that Humerto and Renato are in
town and that whenever she sees Renato, he asks if Felipe/Adolfo has returned.
Manuel and Felipe
consider the guns. Felipe then says that he is leaving, resigning his job. He
thanks his boss for everything. Manuel is surprised. Felipe/Adolfo adds that
Antonia can do the books until Manuel can find a new administrator.
Mati prepares a
bath for Manuel. He comes in and tells her that Felipe/Adolfo is leaving. He
then reprimands her for going into town in his absence. People will talk. She
apologizes and says that she didn't know what to do, but that it won't happen
again. Manuel is crabby, thinking about Quintero and the larger situation. They
kiss and she helps him undress.
Adolfo plans his
next move as Delfino worries. They can't escape, they are being watched. Adolfo
remains concerned that Manuel will hurt Mati in some way.
As they are
dressing Rosario comes in and Manuel asks to see Antonia. Mati asks why and
Manuel tells her that he is going to ask her to take over temporarily until
Sixto can find him a new administrator. Mati is so panicked at the thought of
Sixto back in the mix that she suggets that Antonia do it permanently. Her
jealousies and concerns about Antonia have passed, she says. Manuel is
surprised by all of this.
Renato and
Humberto discuss the fact that Adolfo/Felipe is out of jail. Now they have to
return to San Cayetano for the their money.
Silvano meets a wagon coming into the hacienda. It's Jose
Maria, Josefina's brother.
Meanwhile Manuel
asks Antonia if she will be the administrator. She happily agrees and is
surprised that the senora suggested it.
Jose Maria and Manuel meet. He's looking for Humberto.
Antonia says that she's seen Humberto and Renato in town where they are waiting
for a friend to arrive. Jose Maria tells Manuel the whole story. Manuel tells
Mati why her brother was hiding with them and Prudencia explains to her that
Renato told her and that was the reason that Humberto didn't tell Manuel the
truth about Adolfo. She tells her aunt that if Jose Maria kills Humberto, he
deserves it, but wonders if he'll tell Manuel the truth in revenge.
Jose Maria and Manuel find Renato and Humberto in town. Jose
Maria and Humberto come face to face. Manuel tells Humberto to repair the
damage, marry Josefina or a have a duel with Jose Maria. H. chooses the duel,
but Renato convinces him to marry Josefina.
Antonia goes to
see Felipe/Adolfo to learn more about the transfer of the books. She tells him
that she won't tell Manuel about the small errors she's found. She asks why
he's leaving and he says it's a question of family problems. Antonia and
Demiana talk. Antonia is so happy to be doing the books on both estates. She
tells Demaniana that Mati suggested it. Demania wonders if this is a trap,
perhaps an effort to catch Antonia in a mistake. Antonia says that she is a
better bookeeper than Adolfo/Felipe and wonders why Sixto recommended him.
Demiana says again that the friendship between la senora and Felipe/Adolfo is
weird.
Adolfo comes to
say good to Mathilda and to apologize when Antonia arrives and thanks her for
recommending her for the job. Felipe/Adolfo leaves. Mati tells Antonia, in
another great moment, don't defraud us and don't defraud me!
Adolfo writes a
letter to Manuel as he tells Mati that Jose Maria took Humberto and Renato back
to Ciudad Trinidad. Adolfo overhears Mati tell Manuel that she could be pregnant.
Doctor Manuel asks some details about whether she has missed her period (more
than we need to know). Adolfo wishes them well, kissing Mati's hand and telling
her he wants only the best for her. Manuel looks on with curiosity.
Felipe/Adolfo
settles some things with Manuel. Manuel returns the money for the guns.
Felipe/Adolfo will not take a bonus or a letter of reference. He wants only to
go. Manuel comments that Adolfo/Felipe is an odd person. Adolfo/F. extends his
hand and says it's been a pleasure. (Mauricio is fabulous in all of this!)
Adolfo writes a letter to Manuel to arrange a time to meet.
He gives it to a boy to deliver.
Mati has a feeling
of doom. Prud. tells her everything is great now. They've rid themselves of
Adolfo and of Renato. Mati agrees and tells her that she may be pregnant and
that Manuel is thrilled
Adolfo leaves Delfino. Quintero tells his aide that he is
sure that both Adolfo and Manuel will die. Adolfo arrives and tells Quintero
that he sent a note to have Manuel meet him at 4:00. Quintero wants to come
along.

: Silvano gives
Manuel the letter Adolfo left him. Later Manuel tells Silvano he wonders why
Santamaria wants to talk to him alone; Silvano suggests he doesn’t go alone
because Santamaria my try to kill him. Manuel laughs at that, but Silvano says
he wonders if he has anything to do with Matilde. Manuel becomes angry. Silvano
starts to say it’s just that she was so upset when they took the administrator
off. Manuel defends Matilde saying she felt she had to attend to a valued
employee then tells him not to express doubt about his wife's sincerity. Later
Matilde suspects that something is wrong with Manuel (because he’s scowling at
her again).
Adolfo leaves the
little city hall and tells Delfino that his plans have changed. Quintero is
riding with him to the meeting with Manuel. He doesn’t like it but there’s
nothing he can do about it. --Manuel tells Silvano not to go with him. Silvano
insists he take a pistol though and gives him his. Once Manuel rides off,
Silvano orders another horse saddled for himself. --As they walk up the path to
the top of the hill overlooking the meeting site, Quintero needles Adolfo and asks
him to tell him what really is going on between him and the “doctorcito”.
Adolfo says there is nothing, but Quintero suggests that he and La Sra. Matilde
are both from Trinidad City and he as an ex-soldier, certainly...... Then he
asks Adolfo if Manuel's problem with him has to do with Matilde, but he remains
quiet. Manuel arrives at the site and Quintero points a gun to Adolfo’s head.
Adolfo points his rifle at Manuel; Quintero threatens him aloud and asks what
he’s waiting for. At the last minute Adolfo aims off to the side so as he
shoots he misses. Quintero is angry, stands up and accuses him of missing on
purpose while Adolfo seems to be trying to aim again. Just then Silvano arrives
at the scene when he hears another shot. He calls out to Manuel and starts
running toward the shot screaming that he hopes he wasn’t shot. At the top of
the hill he finds Adolfo standing over Quintero's body. The alcalde’s been shot
in the gut. Silvano orders Adolfo to give him the rifle. He calls out to Manuel
and says somebody’s wounded up there so come quickly, but Quintero dies before
Manuel can reach him.
Prudencia asks
Matilde if she still believes that Rosario is Manuel's mother and she tells her
that Rosario told her she was dead; no, she won't tell her husband in order not
to make him feel bad. --Adolfo explains to Manuel that Quintero had offered him
money to kill him because of all the problems Manuel had caused him over the
cattle rustling; he pretended to accept the offer because he knew if he’d
refused, Quintero would have gotten someone else without scruples to do it
instead. He shot him because he knew that once Manuel was dead he planned to
kill Adolfo right after. There was no other way. So, Manuel decides to cover up
what Felipe did by saying that Felipe was with him and Silvano when they all
heard the shots. They then found Don Remigio dead and alone. Adolfo/Felilpe
says that won’t work because people saw the two of them leave together from the
city hall. Manuel says he’ll say they separated later on. They return to San
Cayetano.
Don Gregorio
returns home. He’s excited that they’ll be sending an inspector about the
cattle rustling. He plans to visit San Cayetano the next day and Catalina asks
Gregorio if she can go with him to see Matilde. He asks why and she says that
certainly the young Sra. Matilde is as bored in her house as she is in theirs.
Besides, the two of them got on well during their last visit. Don Gregorio
agrees.
Manuel tells
Matilde that Felipe killed Quintero and why. She asks that he not hand him over
to the authorities. He’s saved his life twice now. Adolfo comes in and is
embarrassed at having to return and under these circumstances. Manuel tells
Felipe he's going to help him, but Adolfo says he doesn’t want him getting
involved in his problems. Manuel says it’s because of saving his life twice. He
doesn’t want to owe anything to anybody and now it’s time to pay his debt to
him. Then he tells him it’s best not to leave the property.
Manuel's workers
take Quintero's body into town. Delfino is waiting in the plaza and sees the
wagon arrive. Quintero’s assistant, Reyes, asks who shot him; he says he
doesn't know anything. Another deputy from Quintero’s office says it was
Santamaria who killed the alcalde. He says he knows it was him because he saw
Quintero and Santamaria leave together earlier in the afternoon. Delfino rides
for San Cayetano to find out what’s happened to his friend.
Prudencia gets
after Matilde for her careless attitude and her overly evident worrying and
improper chasing after “her husband’s administrator.” The two are screaming and
yelling at one another. Her aunt asks her if she’s gone insane because she’s
going to destroy her marriage if she doesn’t calm down and stop fussing so
openly about him. Manuel hears the rucus as he enters. Prudencia leaves and he
then asks Matilde what they were discussing. She says she’s upset and rightly
so because someone has tried to kill him twice now and twice this man has had
the luck to be there for him. He tells her that what worries him is not that
she's worried about him but for another man. After all just a bit a go she and
Felipe were close enough to discuss her problems and for her to even cry over
them with him. Delfino rides in and finds Adolfo sitting and thinking alone in
his house. Delfino’s upset that he didn’t just shoot Manuel like the alcalde
wanted, and that they weren’t already headed towards the mountains by now. The
older soldier says when the bossman says shoot you do it and who cares who it
might be. He says Adolfo’s gone soft. Adolfo says Quintero wasn’t his boss and
it is not the same thing as fighting honorably on the battlefield. He tells
Delfino that he didn't kill Manuel because he's a good man and Matilde loves
him. Despite him being his rival he never wanted to hurt him. He has no idea
how much it cost him to lose Matilde to him, to fight the rage and jealousy. It
has been as if a piece of his soul has been ripped from him. Delfino's
surprised at Manuel's generosity and says he guesses that Manuel must really be
a “straight up guy” after all, and scratches his head in wonder.
Quintanita arrives
to arrest Felipe but Manuel tells him that Felipe was with him and didn't kill
Quintero. It’s his lands and until he gets a government order to arrest Felipe
he tells him he’s got to leave his property. Rosario tries to get Matilde to
calm down. Matilde says it just shows how brave and noble Adolfo is. --Silvano
suggests to Manuel to sneak out Felipe that night in a wagon taking food to the
burn victims. --Adolfo plans to leave Delfino behind so they won't catch him
also. The army isn’t looking for him or Manuel would have told him by now. He
wants to give Delfino half of the profits from the sale of his finca, but
Delfino refuses. He says they’re friends and he couldn’t just go off without
knowing what has happened to Adolfo. --Matilde asks Rosario to give Adolfo a
message but she refuses and warns Matilde to forget this and him. --Felipe
thanks Manuel before he leaves and adds that he truly wishes him and his wife
well. Manuel is puzzled as to why he would add this business about his wife.
--Catalina overhears her parents say she's going to die. Her disease is
incurable and it will increase in stages. --With Adolfo hidden in the wagon,
Silvano leaves San Cayetano. Manuel returns to the house and angrily asks
Matilde what kind of relationship she had with Felipe. She lies and says none,
they scarcely crossed words; and then she runs away saying he's never going to
forgive her or trust her because of what she did before.
When Quintanita
and his men search through the wagon, poking through the straw with their
rifles, they find nothing until the horse is poked, rears up and takes off
running, eventually turning over the wagon. They see Felipe running away and
they go after him. --Manuel is sulking in the great room. Damiana and Antonia
come past to tell him dinner’s ready and wonder if he or Matilde will be down.
He says no, she’s up in her room. Damiana asks if she’s indisposed
"again". She suggests that its due to all the hubbub about the
administrator. Antonia jumps in and says, what a quiet man, never joining in
with the rest of us. He never talked to anyone. Damiana says, on the contrary
he used to talk quite a lot to the Sra. Manuel is bothered by Damiana's
comments, scowls at the two of them and stomps off. Prudencia tries to calm
down her niece. She reminds her that Adolfo’s a part of her past. Matilde says
she still cares a lot for him even if it isn’t like what she feels for her
husband. Prudencia warns her that Manuel isn’t stupid and if she doesn’t get
control of herself she’ll wreck everything. She agrees he might throw her out
or even kill her. Prudencia warns her he could even think the baby, if she is
in fact pregnant, would be Adolfo’s and not his. Had she even bothered to think
of this?
Silvano tells
Manuel what happened as Adolfo hides near the Heredia home. --Quintanita tells
Don Gregorio that they are looking for Felipe because he killed Quintero. They
want permission to search his house and the grounds. Gregario refuses to have
them search his house. He says he’ll do that. They can look around the grounds,
however. Adolfo scales the walls and climbs into a room, it’s Catalina's room.
He’s surprised to find it’s her. He begs her not to scream and whispers that although
it looks bad he’s not as guilty as it might seem. She hides him in her closet
and decides to help him when her father comes to talk to her about what’s
happening. After Don Gregorio leaves, the two of them begin to talk a bit and
Adolfo wonders aloud at her kindness He promises to leave as soon as the search
party leaves. She says that’s impossible because her father’s stationing guards
all around. He should just stay there with her, and in the morning they’ll
think of a way to get him out without being seen. He stares a bit at her and
then asks why she’s helping him. She self-consciously answers that it’s because
she genuinely feels he’s a good man. He tells her to go back to bed if she
wants. She declines and says she’d rather stay up and keep him company. –Manuel
climbs into bed and begins to read. Matilde hears him and decides to scoot
close to him and cuddle. He melts and kisses her arm. Matilde turns over and
apologizes to Manuel for the shameful way she and her family have acted toward
him. She says she doesn't deserve his love. He says love is given not merited.
He says he can’t promise he won’t die and thus leave her, however he can
promise he will never stop loving her. She tells him that she'll love him until
the day she dies and they begin to kiss passionately.

- The next morning the guards are still looking for Felipe as Catalina awakens
and asks him if he put her to bed and then if he wants something to eat.
Silvano tells Manuel that Felipe hasn't been found and that Quintero's
assistant has disappeared. Ma. Fernanda sees Catalina with a tray a food and
asks her if she's going to eat that much and she says she is. Rosario asks
Silvano about Felipe and he lies saying that everything was fine and that
Felipe went on his way. She then informs Matilde and she's relieved. Maria
Clara asks Catalina why she's locked herself in her room as Adolfo hides.
Catalina then locks Felipe in her room as she goes to get information about
him. Manuel questions Delfino about Felipe. Matilde tends to her chores as she
tells Rosario that she never thought she would love Manuel as much as she loves
him and is surprised at Rosario's reaction. Catalina learns about Felipe's
situation and when she asks him he tells her his story without saying it was
him, Matilde or Manuel. She asks him to be honest and asks him if the man in
the story is him but he lies and says no. Manuel doesn't trip over Quintanita's
threats. Catalina sees her father leave and Ma. Fernada follows her to her room
where she sees Felipe. Matilde gets after Antonia for insulting Rosario and
tells her she's the one in charge of the help and not to make any decisions or
she'll regret telling Manuel to give her the job as administrator. Rosario
tells Antonia that if she wants to stay to try to get along with Matilde.
Catalina tells Ma. Fernanda that she overheard her parents say she was going to
die and that Felipe is her only chance to be happy and she makes her promise
she's not going to tell their parents that she's hiding Felipe. Damiana tells
Antonia not to get after Rosario. Matilde learns that Adolfo didn't leave but
is on the run. Catalina tells Felipe how he can sneak out of the house and that
she'll meet him nearby. Manuel is bothered when Matilde tells Gregorio what
really occurred. When soldiers see Adolfo they asks him who he is and Catalina
runs to him and says he's her husband and leaves with him. Ma. Fernanda looks
for her sister as Delfino asks Manuel if they caught Felipe. Manuel tells him
that he's grateful Felipe saved his life twice but a part of him is grateful
he's gone and that the way he was acting was like if he was hiding something
and then wishes Delfino a safe trip. Manuel gets after his wife as Ma. Fernanda
keeps looking for her sister. Adolfo wants to take Catalina back home but she
says they'll be going in circles as her parents talk about Felipe. Damiana asks
Antonia if she's going to use the poison. Manuel asks Matilde if she's gotten
her period and he says he's sure is pregnant but Matilde becomes embarrased
when he tells her he wants to revise her. He kisses her and tells her to enjoy
their intimacy and she says she does but sometimes she's embarrased at how he
talks to her. He says he wants her to know his body like he wants to know hers
and he kisses her. Catalina offers to take Felipe to Cuidad Santiago but he
denies her and wants to take her back home. She confesses that she's in love
with him and that she's dying and asks in return for her help a few months of
happiness.

The following morning
Adolfo is standing guard by the window in Catalina’s room. Catalina wakes up
and is embarrassed when she realizes he put her to bed the night before. (Aw,
they should’ve shown that!) Catalina asks him if he wants to eat and he tells
her he only wants to leave. She asks if the solders are still watching the
house and he tells her they are. She bundles herself into a robe from her
closet and tells him not to worry as she goes off to the bathroom. ~~ At San
Cayetano, Silvano enters the house and informs Manuel that the soldiers did not
capture Adolfo. Manuel is pleased by this. Silvano tells Manuel that they’re
going to station men all around the area to search for him and that Graciano
Reyes, the alcalde’s assistant, has disappeared. Silvano says that an inspector
is coming from the capital to investigate the situation with the bandits.
Manuel wonders if Graciano Reyes took off because he was the alcade’s
accomplice. Silvano thinks that’s probably it and Manuel orders him to get some
rest as he sits on the stairs to wonder about this new information. ~~ Catalina
carries a tray filled with food to her room and her sister, Maria Fernanda,
sees her and wonders if she’s really going to eat all of that. Catalina fibs
and says that she’s really hungry and with all the ruckus the night before, she
didn’t get a lot of sleep so she’s going to make up for it today. She goes
inside her room and locks it from the inside. ~~ Rosario runs into Silvano
outside the hacienda and asks him if Adolfo was able to get away safe. Silvano
tells her that they got him to the main road and that he was able to get away
without a problem. He asks her not talk about this because Manuel would not
like for people to know. Rosario agrees. ~~ Rosario rushes to Matilde’s room
where she’s praying for Adofo’s safety. Rosario tells her about some household
responsibilities but Matilde only wants to know if Rosario found out if Adolfo
got away safely. Rosario informs her reluctantly that he did. Matilde is very
happy with this news. She turns and gives silent thanks that he’s safe. ~~
Adolfo has eaten everything on the tray and he once again tells Catalina that
he really needs to leave. Catalina tells him that it’s not safe yet because the
soldiers are still outside but Adolfo says that it’s dangerous for him to stay
there and it’s inconvenient for her. Catalina, far from worried, tells him that
this is the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to her. Adolfo,
ironically, says that it’s not everyday someone hides a fugitive in their room.
Catalina tells him that it’s the first time she’s been near a man and has had a
certain amount of intimacy and trust with him. Adolfo gives her a look.
Suddenly Catalina’s sister bangs on the doors because she surprised to find it
locked and calls for her sister to open up and let her in. Catalina tells her
she wants to sleep while Adolfo gets up and feels trapped. Catalina’s mother
joins her sister outside the door and demands that Catalina open up now! Adolfo
tries to hide behind the door but Catalina smartly tells him to hide inside her
closet. She opens up for her mother and sister and quickly makes up the excuse
that she locked herself in to make up for the sleep she lost because of the
disturbance the night before. Her mother orders her not to lock herself in
because if she has a health crises they wouldn’t be able to get to her. Her
mother leaves but her sister stays a few seconds longer and tells her that
she’s acting very strange before leaving. Catalina, after a second’s thought,
locks the door again. (Heh) Poor Adolfo is even more desperate to leave now as
he doesn’t see it right that Catalina should be lying to protect him. Catalina
calmly and happily tells him not to worry but he’s right so she’ll go check out
the situation outside. She tells him she’s going to lock the door from the
outside and she won’t be long. Close up shot of Adolfo’s unhappy face. ~~
Delfino asks Manuel about Adolfo. Manuel tells him that apparently he was able
to escape and then he asks Delfino if they’re going to meet up somewhere.
Delfino tells him only God knows. ~~ Matilde collects what’s needed for the
house in the warehouse. She tells Rosario how happy she is that everything
turned out well and she confesses that she’s deeply in love with Manuel and
that she never thought she would feel this way. It was different at first but
he won her over with his tenderness and sweetness. Matilde notices that Rosario
has gotten emotional and she asks her why. Rosario evades by saying that she’s
just so happy that Matilde is happy.
Catalina goes out
into the yard and notices that her father is bidding Quintanilla and his men
farewell. They think that Adolfo escaped but they’re going to continue guarding
the nearby roads. Catalina asks her father who they were looking for and he
tells her they’re searching for the administrator of Manuel’s hacienda because
he assassinated the alcalde. Catalina reminds him that the alcalde was a bad
man and that it’s probable that the administrator had no choice but to kill
him. Her father says that if he had a just reason he wouldn’t have gone on the
run. Catalina returns to her room worried for the first time and tells Adolfo
that the soldiers have finally left. Adolfo notices that she’s worried and asks
her what’s wrong. Catalina tells him that if he killed that man to save
Manuel’s life and his own, then why is he running if he’s not guilty? Adolfo
tells him that justice does not work the same way for people like him who have
nothing as it does for rich people. He tells her to sit down and he begins to
tell her the tragic story of his life but in the third person. He tells hers
about a man, a lieutenant in the army, whose only riches were his honor, his
pride. One day at a party he met a woman of a higher social class than him and
they fell deeply in love. She was his life, his reason for being and like any
couple in love they planned to marry but her family had other plans for her.
Catalina guesses they wanted to marry her to a rich man. Adolfo concedes and
says that the woman did not accept what her family wanted. Catalina says that
she, too, would have refused. Adolfo says that the family of this woman decided
to look for other ways to accomplish their purpose. They arranged it so that
the poor lieutenant was arrested with no cause, beaten until unconscious and
almost dead, then taken to a prison where he would eventually die. Catalina
asks if he died. Adolfo tells her that he did not. He was left there to rot and
they never once told him why he was there or opened up a process for him. He
was denied any possibility to defend himself. He asks Catalina if now she
understands why he doesn’t trust justice. A rich man has rights but for a
common and ordinary man like him, there is no justice. Catalina confidently
says that he is neither common nor ordinary. She asks what happened to the
woman. Adolfo tells him that the woman married the rich man. Catalina indignant
says that the woman did not love the man because if she did, she would have
searched both land and sea for him. Adolfo says that’s not true but Catalina
doesn’t agree. She asks what happened to the lieutenant. He tells her that he
escaped from that prison. Catalina, who’s not one bit slow, asks him to tell
her the truth. Was he that man? Adolfo says nothing for a few beats and then
denies that the man was him. (Great scene!!!) ~~ In the town square, Manuel
meets up with Quintanilla. Quintanilla tells Manuel that they haven’t found
Adolfo but he won’t be able to escape. He then says that he will have to accuse
Manuel with the authorities for helping a suspect. Manuel tells him to do what
he has to do. ~~ Catalina watches her father leave on horseback from the
terrace. She hurries to her room to tell Adolfo this and doesn’t notice her
sister watching her. She tells Adolfo that everything looks normal just as her
sister walks in abruptly and startles them. Instinctively Adolfo reaches for
his pistol and then lowers it. Maria Fernanda can’t believe that there’s a man
in her sister’s room.
Matilde’s in the
kitchen in her role of madam checking on the food. The cook tells Matilde that
the maid, Seferina, is away visiting a sick relative. Matilde suggests finding
an extra maid to help with the household chores. The cook makes the mistake of
asking Matilde for “Felipe” and Matilde tells her shortly that he resigned and
left. The cook mentions that the guards were after him and Matilde gets annoyed
and tells her to drop the subject. Her good mood apparently ruined, Matilde
walks in on Antonia verbally mistreating Rosario and tells her off. She tells
her that she’s nobody to treat people that way and not to take on a role that
isn’t hers and not to make her regret telling Manuel to give her the job of
administrator. She goes upstairs regally and Antonia accuses Rosario of
enjoying Matilde’s humiliating her. Rosario soberly tells Antonia that she’s
going to give her some advice. Don’t provoke the lady of the house because
Manuel loves her and a man who’s in love only sees through the eyes of the
woman he loves. (Go Rosarioi and go Matilde!) ~~ Catalina and her sister talk
alone. Maria Fernanda is upset and scandalized and tells her sister that if her
parents find out, they’ll kill her. Catalina drops all pretense and talks to
her sister with her heart on her sleeve. She asks her if she loves her and
Maria Fernanda tells her that she does. Catalina brokenly says that she’s sick
and that she heard her father talking to the doctor and that the doctor told
him that her sickness has no cure and that it’s consuming her from the inside
and she will die. She’s never going to have a husband or kids. “Felipe” is an
educated man; he’s gentle and very handsome. He’s the first man she’s talked
with for any length of time. They’ve talked about so many things. He’s noble
and good and she feels that she’s fallen in love with him. She admits to her
sister that they’ve seen each other before in the camp. Maria Fernanda says
that her parents would never let her marry an administrator and that they’d put
her in a convent first. Catalina doesn’t think she’ll be lucky enough to marry
him or any man. In any case, “Felipe” is leaving and she’ll probably never see
him again. She asks her sister to swear to her that she will never tell her
parents about him or any of this. Her sister swears and they cry in each
other’s arms. (Sniff!!!) ~~ Antonia is throwing a hissy fit in front of her
nana as she tells her how Matilde humiliated her in front of Rosario. She feels
she should have a right to call the attention of the servants and that Rosario
had the nerve to give her advice. Antonia says she hates them both. Damiana
advises her to take it easy with Rosario because she has Matilde’s favor. She
also tells Antonia that Matilde and Manuel are practically on a honeymoon and
Matilde’s pregnant. She tells her not to be too obvious and Antonia says that
she just wants Matilde to disappear. Damiana says that Matilde knows she’s her
rival because Manuel has special considerations with her. She tells her to have
patience because her time will come. ~~ Catalina asks a ranch hand to prepare
her carriage because she wants to take a trip. She tells him to leave it at the
entrance and to hurry. ~~ Gregorio Heredia, Catalina’s father, visits with
Matilde and comments on the administrator on the run from the authorities.
Matilde panics again and can’t help but come to Adolfo’s defense in a very
obvious manner and tells Sr. Heredia that it was in self defense because the
alcalde wanted to kill Manuel. ~~ Catalina returns to her room. Adolfo looks
over her paintings and waited in order to say goodbye and thank her for going above
and beyond for him. She says that it was dangerous for him to leave but she’s
made some arrangements for him to leave safely. She tells him she has a
carriage and she gives him directions to meet her where she’ll be waiting for
him with the carriage as she explains that she knows how to conduct it. He’s
not too sure about her plan and he asks her how she’s going to get back. She
tells him she’ll walk back because it’s not far off from the house. He kisses
her hands and tells her that even his life wouldn’t be enough to repay her.
This makes her so happy she coughs. He goes off through the window just as he
came and Catalina cries silently. ~~ Manuel arrives just as Sr. Heredia is
telling Matilde about the arrival of the inspector. They greet each other and
Heredia tells Manuel that he knows now that his administrator killed the
alcalde in self defense and that if they had told the proper authorities what
the alcalde planned to do, he would’ve been in jail. Manuel says that evidently
not everyone thinks the same way but Heredia makes him think.. ~~ Catalina
arrives at her rendezvous with Adolfo as the soldiers ride towards them.
Catalina, quick on
her feet, tells them that he’s her husband. They try to question Adolfo but he
fends them off saying that their things were stolen. He and Catalina get in the
little buggy and ride off at a slow pace. ~~ Maria Fernanda knocks on her
sister’s door and finds that no one’s there. ~~ Manuel interrogates Delfino. He
asks him if he knew that the alcalde was going to kill him. Delfino, evasively,
says he doesn’t know anything. Manuel says that he’s grateful that Adolfo saved
his life twice but he’s glad that he left because someone that acts so
strangely is surely hiding something. ~~ Manuel enters the house and Matilde starts
questioning why he didn’t tell her the authorities were still after Felipe.
Manuel, annoyed, tells her because he didn’t want to see her look so worried.
No man likes for his woman to worry so about another man. He also scolds her
for telling Sr. Heredia that Felipe killed the alcalde in self defense because
she’s just complicating things even more for Felipe. She should have said
nothing at all. He marches up the stairs. ~~ Maria Fernanda asks Martin, the
ranch hand, for her sister’s whereabouts and he says she went off in her
carriage. He thought she’d go with her but the sister evades him and runs off.
~~ Catalina and Adolfo make slow progress in her little carriage and he’s
worried that they’re getting too far from her home. The soldiers are following
them on their horses so they can’t turn back. He regrets getting her involved
in this craziness. Catalina is not at all worried about any of this. (Hmmm) ~~
Sr. Heredia returns home and tells his wife everything he found out about the
administrator on the run. Cata’s mother would rather go back to live in the
capital even though her husband tells her it’s not any safer. She says that
she’d like for Catalina to see another specialist and they get sad. ~~ Antonia
and her evil nana talk. Antonia is angry because she won’t be sitting at the
dinner table after her discussion with Matilde. The nana asks what they should
do with the bottle of poison. Antonia says she’s going to get rid of it. The
nana advises her to keep it in case she gets up the nerve to use it.
Matilde comes up to tell Manuel that dinner’s ready. He asks her if she’s gotten her period yet and she says no. He thinks she’s probably pregnant and he offers to revise her as a doctor. She gets embarrassed but he explains that love is liberty, trust and enjoyment. He knows she likes his touch and his caresses. She tells him not to talk that way. He says perhaps it’s not talked about but it’s done. He nibbles on her neck. He mocks her prejudices and her strict upbringing. She says that she does enjoy what they do together but it makes her uncomfortable to talk about their intimacies aloud. She’s so pretty, he tells her. He says he loves all of her mood swings, her temper and her blushes. She says that she loves him very much and they kiss. ~~ Adolfo and Catalina stop at an inn alongside the road. Adolfo wants to get off there because the soldiers have finally passed them. Catalina says she’s hungry and wants to stop there and eat, too. They’re seated at the table and Adolfo says that they’re very far away from her family’s hacienda. Catalina says that her godmother lives in Ciudad Santiago and that they should continue on and go visit her there. Adolfo wonders at the “us.” Catalina says that she’s decided to come with him. Adolfo is scandalized. There’s no way, he says. He’ll take her back to her parents’ hacienda and he’ll assume his responsibility. He’ll tell them that he forced her to come with him. She asks him sadly if he finds her so unpleasant that he’d rather go to prison rather than take her with him. He tells her she’s an angel but what she’s suggesting is insane. Catalina bravely tells him that she wants to do it because she feels that she’s fallen in love with him. He’s speechless for a moment. He tells her she doesn’t know what she’s saying. He’s nobody and there’s nothing he can offer her. She tells him he can offer her happiness. A while ago he told her that he wouldn’t be able to repay her with his life. All she’s asking for is a few months, a few weeks. Adolfo looks at her amazed. Yesterday she overhead her parents saying she was going to die. She only wants him to give her some happiness during the time she has left.

Episode #35
- Matilde explains to Manuel that if Rosario is hiding something it's because
it's so painful that she doesn't want to recall the event and that she has the
right to keep the details to herself. She tells him that she does her job and
that her private life is that and no one has a right to question her. Manuel
excuses Rosario and tells his wife that he doesn't want her to question him in
front of the help and she apologizes. He wonders if she's hiding the fact that
she committed a crime but Matilde tells her that her woman's intuition tells
her she's not. He admits to her that she makes him feel like a puppet and that
she does what she wants with him and she asks if that's bad and he says
sometimes and kisses her. Antonia asks Damiana if she did the right thing and
wonders why Manuel's so considerate to the servants and Damiana reminds her
that he was once poor. She asks about Manuel and Antonia tells her that she
believes Joaquin didn't know what he was signing when he recongnize Manuel as
his son before his death. Silvano sees Rosario crying and she tells him that
Manuel married a good woman who defended her and said nice things about her.
Manuel undresses his wife as she wonders what her aunt would say if she saw
them. Manuel tells her that she's his wife and that he can make love to her
anytime he wants. Matilde make him promise that things will be like they are
and Manuel tells her that she's his life and the day he stops loving her will
be because no longer exists and they make love. Catalina tells Felipe about her
hobbies and that she has a godmother that will help him if he explains his
situation. The next morning Manuel tells Antonia that there is no avoiding the
fact that she and Matilde don't get along and for that he takes the blame but
in order to avoid anymore problems she will be able to keep her job but will
have to move to Baranquillas. She begs him not to throw her out and to let her
move into the administrator's house but he says he's already made that decision
and there's no turning back. Father Urbano arrives and asks Rosario why she's
so happy and says that her son married a good woman. The priest blames Matilde
for the pain the Hereida family is going through as Rosario is surprised that
Adolfo ran off with Catalina. Antonia cries over her disgrace as Damiana
wonders what they should do next. Matilde tells Prudencia about the
conversation she had with Manuel about Antonia and that she felt guilty about
not telling him the truth about Adolfo and that they kissed. Prudencia tells
her that for a man to be unfaithful is common but if a lady is unfaithful it's
a sin and she says she knows but that she feels guilty anyway. She is told that
Father Urbano has arrived and Prudencia tells her that she hopes he can get rid
of the devil she has within. Manuel talks to Silvano and he assures him that he
and Antonia are not lovers. Silvano tells him she thought she was since she's
always giving orders to the servants. Manuel asks Silvano about his mother and
he lies as Manuel tells him if his mother would show up in town he would tell
him and Silvano assures him that she will tell him herself. Antonia looks for
the medicine and drinks it. She collapses on the floor as Father Urbano asks
Matilde if she knows where Adolfo is when Damiana walks in and saya she's
taking a cup of tea to Antonia. Prudencia comments to Urbano that Adolfo isn't
as decent as they thought. Damiana finds Antonia on the floor and yells for
help. Manuel hears the yells and runs upstairs with Matilde right behind him.
He tries to help her when Matilde points to the bottle on the dresser and when
he tastes it he says that they have to provoke her to vomit as he tells Matilde
to get some water and asks Damiana where they got it from. Silvano tells
Rosario that he never liked Felipe and to tell Manuel that she's his mother but
she denies to. She explains that society separates them and that she's happy
where she is. Matilde tells Prudencia and Father Urbano that Antonia is going
to be fine as her aunt wonders why she didn't die and the priest gets after her
as Manuel tends Antonia. Manuel blames himself for what happened to Antonia and
then questions his godfather about his mother but the priest evades his
questions and leaves. Adolfo and Catalina arrive in Ciudad Santiago as Dona
Juana (Yolanda Merida) is surprised to see her goddaughter but is shocked to
learn she traveled a long way alone with a man. She explains not to think
anything bad about Felipe and that she's in love. Damiana tells Manuel that
Antonia was deperate when he told her she had to live in town and no longer in
San Cayetano. Adolfo waits outside as Catalina explains to her godmother she's
going to die and that her dying wish is to marry Felipe. She begs her to help
her be happy and assures her that Felipe is noble and respectful. Manuel tells
Matilde why Antonia tried to kill herself and she tells him to let her stay
saying that she realizes now what her place is and Manuel tells her the best
thing for her is to leave. Matilde tells him that if she tries it again she
will feel guilty. Manuel tells her that she's not responsible for Antonia's
actions but her own and she says that she knows how hard it to to detach from
something. Dona Juana agrees to talk to Felipe and the first thing he does is
to confess that his real name is Adolfo Solis. He tells her his story and tells
her why he used a false name. He tells her that if he knew he was going to
cause so much trouble he would have never hidden in Catalina's room. Manuel
asks Antonia what was she planning to do with the medicine since he only told
her that morning to leave. She said she brought it home days earlier because
she knew that he would tell her to leave sooner or later and she doesn't want
to leave. Manuel denies to let her stay but when she promises on her father's
memory that she will no longer cause any problems for Matilde he agrees to let
her stay in the administrator's house. Adolfo continues telling his story to
Dona Juana. Matilde agrees with Manuel's decision concerning Antonia and he
offers to take her to see her parents and she thanks him for being good to her.
Adolfo is surprised to learn that Dona Juana's complete name is Dominguez de
Palafox and that she is Gen. Prisco Dominguez' aunt. Adolfo explains to Juana
that he didn't know who she was and she says that he's either an honest but
disgraced man or a classy liar. She tells him she's going to investigate him
and tells him that Catalina is in love with him. He explains that the only reason
he let Catalina come with him is because he felt pity for her situation. Adolfo
tells Juana that he'll accept any decision that she makes. He also comments
that Catalina's family will never accept their marriage. Catalina asks Juana if
Adolfo left and she assures her that he's returning the next day. She begs her
godmother to help her and explains why she loves him and that everyone will
think he's below her class but she doesn't care. Dona Juana bows down and
promises Catalina that she'll be happy.

Episode #36
- Adolfo arrives at a pension house and recalls his moments with Matilde.
Silvano sings to the workers as Matilde questions Rosario once again about her
being Manuel's mother. Rosario keeps lying and reminds her that she kept her
secrets about Adolfo. Matilde asks her if she's threatning her and she asks her
to forgive her and runs out. Manuel sees her and asks Matilde why she's crying
and Matilde tells her she got after her. Manuel tells his wife that Rosario
lived in the area the same time his mother did and asks her if she would be
embarrased if she was a servant. She asks him the same question and he says he
wouldn't be at the thought of her being a servant but would ask her why she
never looked for him or if she had any interst in knowing if he was dead or
alive. She tells him that if she hasn't returned she probably had a good reason
not to and he says that it has occurred to him that Rosario could be his
mother. Matilde tells him that if that was true Father Urbano would have told
him so and not keep something that important from him and he says she's right.
Dona Juana talks to Catalina and asks about Manuel and Matilde. The next
morning Manuel gets a letter from Sixto telling him that he found Sixto's
sister but she doesn't know where he is. Manuel comments that Felipe looked
like a decent man and never thought he would do such a thing. Catalina begs
Juana not to tell her parents where she is and and asks if she really loves
Felipe because he doesn't love her. She says she doesn't care and that all she
wants is to be happy. Juana asks her if Felipe denies to marry her then she
will ask her to help him clear her name so he can be worthy of her. Adolfo
arrives and Juana tells him she wished he hadn't come and he offers to leave
but she says she's going to talk to her nephew and that if the story he told
her was true she was going to repair the damage that was done. She tells him
that Catalina wants to marry him but she's against it yet she says her opinion
doesn't count but wants to hear his opinion. He says he can't offer her the
life she had and she offers him a dowry but he angrily turns it down. He
apologizes for his attitude and says that a man and woman should marry for love
and not convenience. She says it's a disgrace that it happens in society and
he's surprised to hear her say that about her class and she says that at her
age she can say whatever she feels. He tells her she's intelligent and that
he's being sincere. Manuel tells Gregorio that he's going to connect him with
Sixto. Juana tells Adolfo that life has been unfair to him and Catalina and
asks what's in his future. Juana offers to restore his name and to re-join the
military in exchange he marry Catalina. He says he wants to talk to Catalina
first. Rosario apologizes to Matilde and feels that she doesn't trust her
anymore and runs away from her. Adolfo explains his situation to Catalina and
tries to change her mind but she's defiant and asks her if she wants to marry
him. Matilde and Manuel have a picnic on the countryside and they talk about
the differences about men and women in society. Manuel believes that women are
equal to men but that it might takes decades or even centuries for society to
change their views on the subject. He says he believes a woman should think for
herself but it makes him happy to have her waiting for him when he gets home.
He kisses her and asks her about their child and she says that she never
thought she would love him as much as she does. He thanks her and kisses her.
Juana visits Frisco and embarrasses him. She learns what Agusta and he did and
she reprimands him telling him he has to repair the damage he has done. He
reminds her that he's a fugitive and she says it's his fault. Juana tells him
that she wants Adolfo re-instated because he's going to marry Catalina Hereida.

- Manuel describes Felipe and Sixto tells him that Felipe is in his 60's.
Manuel asks his friend if he saw Adolfo the day of the wedding and to describe
him. When he does he realizes that Felipe is none other than Adolfo Solis and
goes upstairs to confront his wife. He manhandles her and asks her how she
could do it. She asks what's wrong and he tells her not to pretend because he
knows Adolfo was passing himself off as Felipe. At first she denies it and an
enraged Manuel finally makes her admit the truth. She tries to explain the
situation but he calls her a liar. She swear on their child she's telling the
truth but he screams at her telling her that her child belongs to the dog
Adolfo and not him. She tries to explain and he says now he understands why she
wanted to have a child and stay because she slept with Adolfo and then with him
to pass him off as his. He keeps tearing up the rooms as he threatens Matilde
that if she doesn't leave at that moment he'll kill her. She goes after him but
he won't listen and gives her 30 minutes to leave his home. Damiana spies on
Matilde when she tells her aunt that she wants to die because Manuel learned
about Adolfo being the administrator. Manuel orders Silvano to get the coach
ready and not to ask questions. Sixto tries to talk to Manuel but he won't
listen. Prudencia tries to talk to Manuel but he also manhandles her and
Rosario for covering up for Matilde and orders them to leave his home and
insults them. Matilde tells her aunt she doesn't want to leave but knows that
Manuel won't listen to reason and asks why her life is such a disgrace, first
she's separated from Adolfo and now Manuel. Damiana tells Antonia that Manuel
threw Matilde out because he learned that Felipe was really Adolfo and she
smiles. Manuel tells Sixto that he now understands Matilde's fears and
nervousness. Sixto says that Matilde maybe didn't plan for Adolfo to be there
and asks about her child. He says it's Adolfo and though he knows he was her
first Adolfo appeared afterward and she didn't want anything to do with him
until one day she changed to make him think the baby was his but he knows it's
Adolfo's. Sixto says that he's exagerating and he becomes more furious when
Silvano informs him the carriage is ready. Matilde doesn't want to leave and
decides to confront her husband. Manuel says he was a fool to believe in
Matilde and that he had Adolfo in front of him all along. He tells Sixto that
he now realizes why he disappeared the last time he was there. Matilde arrives
and tells him they need to talk and he's going to listen. Sixto excuses himself
and Manuel tells him to stay. She tells him she loves him and if he insists she
leave she'll be unhappy for the rest of her life. He tells her to stop lying
and to say what she came to say. She explains how Adolfo took Felipe's identity
and Manuel asks if maybe Adolfo didn't kill him to take his place. She says she
begged him to leave when she started to care for him but he didn't want to. She
admits that she didn't want to tell him the truth because she didn't want a
tragedy and that he's the only man she's ever been with and that the baby is
his. She begs him not to throw her out. He says it's his turn and calls her a
liar and dishonest like her family and says he wants to kill her but she's not
worth it and tells her to leave and to take her child with her and throws her
on the floor. Damiana tells Antonia that she doesn't believe that Manuel will
forgive Matilde as she begs Rosario to tell Manuel that she is his mother. She
denies to and Matilde invites her to go with her to take care of the baby when
it's born and despite what Manuel says the baby is not his. Rosario tells
Silvano she's leaving and to take care of her son and to look for Father
Urbano. He asks why and she says that Matilde needs her and makes him promise
not to tell Manuel that she is his mother. Sixto looks on as Matilde gets ready
to leave and tells Manuel that he still has time to stop her from leaving and
to give her the benefit of the doubt. Manuel breaks a glass in his hand and
goes upstairs as Matilde leaves for an uncertain future with Prudencia and
Rosario. Manuel cries at his suffering in an empty room and an empty bed. Sixto
asks Silvano about Felipe and he wonders if he's the problem between Manuel and
Matilde and Sixto tells him to ask Manuel those questions and not him and he
excuses himself. Manuel keeps drinking as he stares at a picture of Matilde.
Damiana keeps asking questions and learns Manuel is drowning his sorrows.
Antonia is bothered by Damiana's suggestion that she take advantage of the
situation and she says she would. Matilde wonders what her next move is
concerning Rosario as Prudencia tells her to eat or she'll get sick. Sixto
tries to talk to Manuel and tells him that life goes on. Manuel keeps drinking
as Sixto tells Antonia that he hopes Matilde and Manuel reconcile because she's
not as guilty as she is made out to be. Silvano looks for Father Urbano and
tells him what happened. Adolfo tells Juana that he's going to marry Catalina
and that he's not afraid of catching the disease she has or being near her and
promises her to make her happy. Manuel keeps hugging Matilde's picture as
Father Urbano tries to reason with him but he won't open the door. Adolfo asks
Catalina if she's sure she wants to marry him and he gives her a kiss.
Prudencia tells Rosario that she hopes Father Urbano can talk some sense into
Manuel at least for the child's sake or he'll also be illegitimate like Manuel.
She apologizes to Rosario as Matilde cries when she overhears her. Antonia is
worried about Manuel as Silvano tells Jacinta to respect Rosario. Manuel tells
Silvano to bring him another bottle. Matilde arrives home in Ciudad Trinidad
and Agusta learns that Manuel knows about Adolfo.

Episode # 38
- Father Urbano is angry with Silvano that Manuel has been allowed to continue
to drink unattended in his room for nearly three days. He might have died and
then what? Silvano says he should understand. Besides, Silvano says he’s been
dead drunk when upset for a week at a time and he turned out just fine. The
Padre tells Silvano he’s just plain thoughtless! Father Urbano tells Manuel to
open the door as he throws up again. At seeing Manuel, he says he looks a
fright and is disgusting.
Prudencia tells
Augusta that Adolfo ran off with Catalina Heredia. Augusta blames everything on
Matilde, whom she says is just a foolish ninny.
The Padre asks
Manuel if he could explain just what happened. Manuel accuses his wife of being
a prostitute. He says that at night she claimed she loved him, but by day, she rolled
about with her lover, the great Adolfo Solís, in this bed of hers! At the alter
she promised him to both love and obey him, but she didn’t love him let alone
show respect for him. Manuel learns that his godfather knew the truth and asks
him why he didn't tell him since he's always considered him like a father; but
Urbano remains quiet.
While wandering
through the house together, Augusta asks Prudencia, without saying Matilde's
name, if the child is Manuel's, when Hilario overhears them and then asks about
whom they are talking. Augusta lies to her husband and tells him that some
woman says that Manuel is the father of her child, and that's why Matilde has
returned home. Hilario says his daughter should believe her husband if he says
it's not true. Then he says he wants to talk to his daughter. He also says he
plans to travel to San Cayetano to discuss things with Manuel. He truly cannot
believe the man would be capable of this, either.
Manuel tells
Urbano that he would make a pact with the devil in order to find Adolfo Solis
and kill him. Don Urbano reminds him that only God may take away a life. Don
Urbano then tells Manuel he's exaggerating and that the child is his. Manuel
insists that there are truly some who are perverse enough to lie in confession
and he says that his wife is one of those people.
Rosario begs
Matilde not to tell Augusta that she is Manuel's mother. Her mother is too fine
a woman compared to Rosario. Matilde is upset at the thought, but thinks better
of this. Then Prudencia comes into Matilde’s bedroom and tells her niece about
the lie her mother made up and told to Hilario.
Urbano comes down
finally and after pestering from Silvano tells him that there was a
misunderstanding between Manuel and Matilde he hopes can be quickly cleared up;
however he refuses to tell Silvano anything else about the situation, then
orders Antonia to take up some water to Manuel’s room so he can bathe.
Matilde becomes
angry with her mother for her lies and her mistreatment of Rosario. She tells
her mother never to “tutear” with Rosario again. Augusta accuses her of causing
this entire, shameful and frightful problem, and then asks who that baby’s
father really is. Matilde replies angrily that her child is Manuel's and not
Adolfo's. Augusta tells her that her father took the business about Humberto
and Josefina de Icaza extremely hard. She warns her that they don’t need her
father to find out that the real reason she’s returned home is because the
“light of his eyes” was thrown out of her home because her husband accuses her
of being pregnant with the child of the man with whom she had planned to flee
the day of her wedding. He’d have a heart attack for sure! Augusta insults
Matilde right before Hilario arrives, and asks Pru if she’s lying or not? She leaves
her daughter with him.
Antonia asks
Manuel when the Señora will be returning and he says she is NOT returning.
After she learns that Matilde is not returning, she asks him if he wants her to
take care of the house. When he absently tells her to go ahead, sure, she
smiles.
Humberto learns
that Matilde has returned home and that Manuel has learned the truth about
Adolfo. Matilde lies to her father and says the other woman lives on the
estate. When Hilario tells her she was unjust with Manuel in judging him
wrongly and that their problems are not solved by simply running away, she
begins to cry and hugs her father. Humberto and Augusta meanwhile worry that
Hilario will go to San Cayetano. Humberto tells his mother that she must find a
way to stop him. When he comes down from Matilde’s room, Hilario tells Augusta
that Matilde's reaction was exaggerated and out of place; then he says he's
going to make a visit to Manuel the next morning. Humberto tells his father to
let Matilde and Manuel settle their own problems. Hilario, though, says there's
enough talk about Humberto and Josefina and that he doesn't want his daughter
to be a part of people's gossip. Humberto again tells his mother to find a way
for Hilario not to visit Manuel.
Juana tells
Catalina to be happy and that she sent a telegram to her. --Gregorio prepares
to leave the hacienda for the city. The furniture is all covered over with
sheets and they’re about to leave when Manuel arrives and tells him Felipe's
real identity is that of an escaped prisoner by the name of Adolfo Solís.
Matilde thanks
Rosario for all her help. She offers her their old nana’s room at the end of
the hall. Rosario says she’s fine sleeping with the other servants, but Matilde
says she wants Rosario to be her child’s nana. Rosario thanks her and accepts.
--
Gregorio tells
Manuel that when he finds Adolfo there will be nothing left of him.
Augusta late that
night at bedtime begs Hilario not to go see Manuel and he agrees. Neither
Manuel nor Matilde can sleep and they think about each other while a rainstorm
falls during the night.
Adolfo arrives at
Ciudad Trinidad as Hilario tells Augusta he's going to their ranch to see how
things are going. Humberto asks his mother if she's sure he's going to their
ranch or Manuel's. Prudencia and Rosario discuss the possibility of Rosario’s
living elsewhere and working perhaps as a seamstress as she did while living up
north. Prudencia and she come face to face with Adolfo in the middle of the
street. He tells them where Catalina is and then asks if Matilde had come to
the city with them. Prudencia yells at him and says, “How dare you after all
the harm you caused her!” and the two women walk away. Matilde learns that her
father could be on his way to see Manuel. Prudencia tells Rosario not to tell
Matilde they ran into Adolfo right before they run into Pilar in town also. She
is excited to hear her best friend has returned to the city.
Dona Juana's
telegram arrives for Gregorio but he has already left. The head caretaker
suggests that since it was a telegram it must be urgent and the mails would be
slow to catch up to Don Gregario. However since nobody there can read and it’s
probably urgent, the caretaker and the messenger decide it should be delivered
to Manuel who of course can read and then decide further.
Humberto tries to
comfort Matilde and asks what he might do for her. She asks for her jewels back
if he still has them. He says he sold a few but he will get the others back for
her. When he says that Josefina is rich, and that although the thought of
marrying her is a bitter one his financial future will be assured, she calls
him a cynic. They talk about Manuel. Her situation is far different from his
because she does love her husband and he mistakenly thinks this baby is not
his. Humberto really feels badly for his sister. Pilar then come and visits
Matilde and she learns she's staying for a while.
Manuel takes off
his wedding ring and throws it onto his desk. As he’s leaving his office,
Antonia tries to talk to him about the storehouse, but all he wants to do is
leave. He agrees she can move back into the main house to better take care of
it. After he’s gone, Damiana suggests that she get her own bedroom now in the
main house and that it won’t be a problem since Antonia now makes the decisions.
Matilde tells
Pilar the truth of what happened and has decided to tell her father everything
when he returns. Hilario arrives at Baranquillas amidst wartime chaos. Pilar
asks her friend if she knew that her new husband was a bastard and is shocked
when Matilde answers yes, she does. Pilar wonders how in the world she could
have married him then, but Matilde says she found out only after her marriage.
Matilde tells Pilar it isn’t important since her child is now going to be
illegitimate just like Manuel was. Adolfo observes them in the shadow of a
doorway from across the street. The two friends hug good-bye outside Matilde’s
house. Matilde doesn’t realize Adolfo’s there.
Prudencia agrees
to help Augusta with Hilario and the “lie” if in exchange Augusta will let
Rosario stay. She agrees. Humberto visits Renato in his boarding house. Renato
is going to begin to teach young ladies French to earn his living until
Humberto is married. Humberto asks for the remaining jewels and tells him he's
returning Matilde her jewels because she needs them now. Manuel has learned the
truth and has thrown Matilde out. Prudencia tries to get Matilde to write a
letter of explanation to her husband. Matilde doesn't want to be humiliated by
Manuel again. She figures he won’t listen anyway. Prudencia tells her it must
be done because that’s the only way her mother will allow Rosario to stay with
them.
Manuel almost
opens the telegram that explains where Adolfo and Catalina are, but he decides
against it, saying the telegram is not his to open.
Adolfo sees
General Dominguez and he is re-instated in the military as a captain,” as a
wedding present”. The General tells Adolfo, however, that he sticks in his
craw. Adolfo says he is "sorry".

Episode #39 - Matilde
tells Agusta that she's not going to let her run her life. She answers back
saying if she knows what her separation from Manuel means. Matilde tells her
she's not going to beg Manuel to take her back. She tells her she's also
telling her father the truth when he returns. Agusta asks her if she wants to
kill her father and she says that if she tells him the right way nothing will
happen to him and then tells her that if she throws Rosario out she'll go with
her and doesn't care where. Meanwhile Hilario arrives in San Cayetano where
Silvano greets him as he asks for Manuel. He waits for him when he sees him and
Antonia coming down the stairs and misinterprets her words about moving to the
next room and says what he was told was true. Manuel greets his father-in-law
and asks him what's true. That Matilde told him he had a lover. Manuel calls
Matilde a disgrace and a cynic. The General forbids him to talk about his
daughter in that manner. An angry Manuel tells Hilario all about Adolfo and
Matilde and that they were lovers under his nose. The General says he's lying
and Manuel tells him that everyone knew including Agusta, Prudencia and
Humberto. Manuel becomes more furious and tells him that Matilde is pregnant
with her lover's child. Hilario starts feeling ill and Manuel grabs him as he
yells to Antonia to get his bag and Silvano to help him. He collapses as Manuel
apologizes to him but it's too late. Hilario dies in Silvano's arms. Humberto
promises Matilde that he'll replace her jewels when he marries Josefina. She
tells him he's being unfair because being a man they can take possesion of what
they want, cheat on their wives and mistreat them, but a woman can't defend
herself when she's falsely accused. He says that he's a man and that's the way
the laws are written. She asks him if women don't have feelings and sentiments
like men do and he says they do but that a man is a man and that's the way it
is. She asks him who wrote those rules because the only books she's read are of
saints and romance novels approved by their confessor and not of philosophy. He
asks her why she's acting that way and she says she is destroyed and ruined and
despite all her errors she doesn't deserve it. He tries to console her and she
asks him if Josefina deserves to be married to a scoundrel like him and he says
no. Prudencia and Rosario about Adolfo and what Agusta did to him. Rosario defends
Manuel and Prudencia tells her that she wonders where she got his anger from
and Rosario answers her saying he lived a hard life and that even an old dog
who is kicked often enough will show it's teeth. Don Gregorio visits General
Prisco and learns that Adolfo is in Cuidad Trinidad and that he's marrying her
daughter. Matilde visits Pilar and Ramon learns Manuel is not in town. Pilar
agrees to buy Matilde's jewels and comforts her friend as she worries about her
father. Matilde tells Agusta she's telling her father the truth as Agusta
denies her to and tells her to reconcile with Manuel. Matilde's strongwilled
and Agusta warns her that if her father has another attack it will be her
fault. At that moment the lights flicker as Manuel leads a procession taking
Hilario's body back home. Silvano, Damiana and Antonia follow him. The next
morning Father Urbano learns about Hilario's death and the impression it's
going to cause Matilde when she sees her father's coffin. Juana's servant tells
Catalina and Adolfo not to go into the house because Don Gregorio has arrived.
He tells Juana he's not letting a fugitive and a seductor marry his daughter.
She asks him what he's going to do confront him in a duel and makes fun of him
telling him that he'll die because Adolfo is younger than he is. She tells him
to let his daughter be happy as Adolfo tries to calm down Catalina. Juana
defends Adolfo as she tells Gregorio she's tired of his winning and that their
conversation is over. He says he's taking his daughter and she says she's
staying and that she's going to talk to the Archbishop and tells him they have
to marry. Gregorio asks her if Adolfo took advantage of his daughter and she
tells him that she wished she could say yes but she doesn't want to blemish
Adolfo's name unlike someone else who did before he got married. Manuel arrives
at the Penarvel home. Catalina learns her father has left and Adolfo tells
Juana that they will get married when she says so. Ignacia tells Matilde that
Manuel has arrived and wants to talk to her mother but she's not home. She says
she'll attend to him. She greets him and he says that he would have preferred
to have talked to Agusta. He tells her that Hilario went to San Cayetano and
accused him of having a lover. Matilde tells him it was a lie her mother made
up. He asks her for forgiveness, says he got angry and didn't measure his
words. Matilde asks him if he got ill and Manuel says there was nothing he
could do for him. She asks him if he's dead and when he nods his head yes
Matilde yells at him that he killed her father and hits him over and over
again. A destroyed Matilde falls to the floor as she yells for her father.
Manuel feeling guilty tries to confort her but is unable to. Prudencia and
Agusta arrive home when they ask who the dead is. Silvano tells her it's the
General and Agusta says she wants to see him as Matilde runs to her side with
Manuel following her. Matilde tells Manuel that he got his revenge, her
father's life. She yells at him that he knew he was sick and didn't care. She
calls him cruel and vengeful and tells him it's now her that doesn't want to
see him again as she hits him. Agusta asks Manuel if he told Hilario the truth
and he says he did. He then has his men carry the coffin inside the house as he
becomes angry at himself. At Manuel's house Antonia tells Damiana that she
wants to leave before Matilde and Manuel have a chance to reconcile. Sixto
arrives and learns of Hilarios death. Matilde tells Rosario that her son is a
bad person. Prudencia tells her that her mother's worried about what people are
going to say about Manuel not being at the wake but she walks away. Sixto tells
Manuel that he can't blame himself for Hilario's death but Manuel explains that
he could have told things differently. He asks him if he's getting dressed for
the wake and he says the only decent member of the family is dead and that
bringing back the body was enough. Sixto tells him he's changed and he tries to
defend himself. Sixto tries to defend Matilde but he says he's never going to forgive
her. Humberto arrives at his father's home and pays him a tribute. Agusta
orders her children to lie about where Hilario died and that Humberto look for
Josefina and Matilde look for Manuel and ask him for forgiveness. She denies to
as Agusta blames her for all their problems. Humberto offers to talk to Manuel
as he comforts his sister. Humberto visits Manuel as he tells him he's losing
his time. He calls Matilde a prostitute and tells him he's not attending the
funeral. Humberto tells him to recognize his child or they'll be two bastards
in the family.

Augusta that she's not going to let her run her life. Augusta responds by
asking if she knows what her separation from Manuel means. Matilde tells her
she's not going to beg Manuel to take her back. She says she's also telling her
father the truth when he returns. Augusta asks her if she wants to kill her
father and Matilde says that if she tells him the right way nothing will happen
to him, and then tells her that if she throws Rosario out she'll go with her
and she doesn't care where.
Meanwhile Hilario arrives
in San Cayetano where Silvano greets him and he asks for Manuel. He waits for
Manuel in the great-room as he sees him and Antonia coming down the stairs and
misinterprets her words about moving to the next room. Hilario says then what
he was told was true. Manuel greets his father-in-law and asks him what's true.
Hilario answers that Matilde told him he had a lover. Manuel calls Matilde a
disgrace and a cynic. The General forbids him to talk about his daughter in
that manner. An angry Manuel tells Hilario all about Adolfo and Matilde, how
they were lovers before the wedding and planned to flee together the very day
she was married; and that when she couldn’t succeed at that she brought him
there under an assumed name and they were lovers right under his nose. The
General says he's lying and Manuel tells him that everyone knew including
Augusta, Prudencia and Humberto. Manuel becomes even more furious and tells him
that Matilde is now pregnant with her lover's child. Hilario starts feeling ill
and Manuel grabs him as he yells to Antonia to get his bag and then to Silvano
to help him. Hilario collapses as Manuel apologizes to him, but it's too late
and Hilario dies in Silvano's arms.
Humberto promises
Matilde that he'll replace her jewels when he marries Josefina. She tells him
he's being unfair as a man, he can take possession of what he wants, cheat on
his wife and mistreat her, but a woman can't defend herself when she's falsely
accused. He says that he's a man and that's the way the laws are written. She
asks him if he thinks women don't have feelings and sentiments like men do; and
he says they do but that a man is a man and that's the way it has been since
the beginning. She asks him who wrote those rules because the only books she's
read are of saints and romance novels approved by their confessor, not of
philosophy. He asks her why she's acting that way and she says she is
destroyed, ruined, and despite all her mistakes, she doesn't deserve it. He
tries to console her and then she asks him, cynically, if Josefina deserves to
be married to a scoundrel like him and he reluctantly answers no.
Prudencia and
Rosario talk about Adolfo, and about what Augusta did to him. Rosario defends
Manuel’s nasty temper and Prudencia tells her that she wonders where she got
his anger from; Rosario answers her saying he lived a hard life and that even
an old dog who is kicked often enough will show its teeth. Don Gregorio visits
General Prisco and learns that Adolfo is in Cuidad Trinidad and that he's
marrying his daughter. When Gregario asks how he knows, Prisco answers that his
own aunt, her madrina, as well as Solís himself, told him this.
Matilde visits
Pilar. Ramon learns Manuel is not in town. He notices her discomfort in her
answer but doesn’t act like it. Pilar agrees to buy Matilde's jewels by making
something up to tell Ramon, and then comforts her friend as she worries about
Matilde’s ill father.
That evening, Matilde tells Augusta she's telling her father
the truth as Augusta refuses to accept this, and then angrily tells Matilde to
reconcile with Manuel. Matilde is acting strong-willed and stubborn over this
and Augusta warns her that if her father has another attack it will be
Matilde’s fault. At that moment, the dining room candle lights flicker as Manuel
leads a procession taking Hilario's body back home. Damiana and Antonia in a
coach and Silvano, on his horse, follows along. The next morning Father Urbano
learns about Hilario's death from Ceferina and he worries about the impression
it's going to make on Matilde when she sees her father's coffin.
Juana's servant
tells Catalina and Adolfo not to go into the house because Don Gregorio has
arrived. Gregario tells Juana he's not letting a fugitive and seductor marry
his daughter. She asks him what he's going to do: confront him in a duel? Juana
makes fun of him, telling him that he'll die because Adolfo is younger than he
is as well as a trained soldier. She tells him to let his daughter be happy. It
will be her only chance to marry the man she’s in love with and to feel like a
woman before she dies. Adolfo tries to calm down a worried Catalina. Juana
defends Adolfo as she tells Gregorio she's tired of his whining. She explains
that even Prisco admitted to her that he was wrongly accused and imprisoned.
When Gregario brings up the death of the alcalde, Juana says he was a dishonest
man and a criminal and deserved what he got. When Gregario still won’t accede,
Juana says that their conversation is over. He says he's taking his daughter
and she says Catalina is staying; that she's going to talk to the Archbishop
and tell him they have to marry. Gregorio asks her if Adolfo took advantage of
his daughter and she tells him that she wished she could say yes but she
doesn't want to blemish Adolfo's name unlike someone else who did do that to
someone before he got married. --Manuel arrives at the Peñalver home.
Catalina later
learns her father has left. She’s terribly upset that her father didn’t even
want to see her. Juana tells them that she’ll go to tell the archbishop that
the two of them must be married and he’ll be able to stay the law and allow the
marriage if he agrees it’s necessary. She asks the two of them if they still
want to marry and they say yes. Then Adolfo tells Juana that they will get
married whenever she says to.
Ignacia tells
Matilde that Manuel has arrived and wants to talk to her mother but she's not
home. Matilde says she'll attend to him. She greets him with her best smile and
jewels. He looks stern and says that he would have preferred to have talked to
Augusta. He tells her that Hilario came to San Cayetano and accused him of
having a lover. Matilde tells him it was a lie her mother made up. He says he
figured as much. Then he asks her for forgiveness, says he got angry and didn't
measure his words. Matilde asks him if he got ill and Manuel says there was
nothing he could do for him. She asks him if he's dead and when he nods his
head yes, Matilde yells at him that he killed her father! She hits him
repeatedly. A destroyed Matilde falls to the floor as she yells for her father.
Manuel feeling guilty tries to comfort her but is unable to.
Prudencia and
Augusta arrive home, and when they ask who the dead is, Silvano tells them it's
the General. Augusta says she wants to see him as Matilde runs to her side with
Manuel following her. Matilde tells Manuel that he got his revenge, her
father's life. She yells at him that he knew he was sick and didn't care. She
calls him cruel and vengeful and tells him it's now her that doesn't want to
see him ever again as she hits him. Augusta asks Manuel if he told Hilario the
truth and he says he did. She wails out in sorrow again. He then has his men
carry the coffin inside the house as he becomes angry with himself, breaking
his horsewhip and throwing it to the ground.
At Manuel's house,
Antonia tells Damiana that she wants to leave before Matilde and Manuel have a
chance to reconcile. Sixto arrives and learns of Hilario’s death. --Matilde
tells Rosario that her son is a bad person. When Rosario tries to defend him
she says she was actually mistaken when she had believed that. Prudencia comes
in to say the room her father’s in needs to be arranged and then tells her that
her mother's worried about what people are going to say about Manuel not being
at the wake, but she walks away.
Sixto tells Manuel
that he can't blame himself for Hilario's death but Manuel explains that he
could have said things differently. Sixto then asks him if he's getting dressed
for the wake. Manuel answers him that the only decent member of the family is
dead and that bringing back the body was enough. Sixto tells him he's changed
and is hard. Manuel tries to defend himself by saying that the whole family
enveloped him and all to get money out of him. Sixto tries to defend Matilde
saying maybe the mother and brother were that way, but probably not Matilde.
Manuel says she was the worst of the lot because she toyed with his feelings
and he's never going to forgive her for that.
Humberto arrives
at his father's home and pays him a tribute by laying his father’s sword on the
casket. Augusta orders her children to lie about where Hilario died; she says
that Humberto must look for Josefina since she’s his fiancée and Matilde must
look for Manuel and ask him for forgiveness. If not the family name their
father died trying to keep from being sullied will be for nothing. Matilde
refuses to beg her husband because he killed her father. Agusta blames her for
all their problems. She says if her father was so dear to her she can and must
beg him, insist he attends the wake. Otherwise, everybody will gossip and
dishonor his good name.
Humberto offers to
talk to Manuel as he comforts his sister. Humberto then visits Manuel who says
Humberto is wasting his time if he’s come to defend his sister. Humberto reminds
Manuel that Manuel himself is a man who’s had many women. Then Humberto
suggests that he didn’t like being blamed for being a bastard, so why should he
be so quick to blame his sister perhaps unjustly. Manuel says that was
different because his mother had no choice. He calls Matilde a prostitute and
tells him he's not attending the funeral. Humberto tells him to watch his mouth
and Manuel says he should do the same. Humberto then asks him how he could be
so sure, anyway, that her baby was another’s totally. Didn’t he ever make love
to her himself? In the end, Humberto tells him he’d better think twice if he
even remotely thinks that baby she’s carrying could carry his blood, and to
recognize his child or they'll be two bastards in the family. He leaves saying,
more than one in a family is really too many, doesn’t it seem to you? Manuel is
left to think angrily about what Humberto has just said to him.

fault. Matilde wants to talk to Manuel and Rosario offers to talk to him.
Josefina is awaken with the news of Hilario's death. Sixto overhears Ramon
asking for Manuel and Humberto. Matilde sees Sixto and asks if Manuel is
present and when he says he isn't she asks him if she can talk to him. Sixto
apologizes to Matilde and says it's his fault for everything that's happening
and she assures him that the only one at fault is her for not telling Manuel
that Adolfo was in San Cayetano, but didn't say anything because she was
afraid. She explains that she did love Adolfo but now loves Manuel and that the
father of her child is Manuel. He says he believes her and will relay the
message to him. Morning dawns as Manuel tells Antonia they'll be leaving soon when
Sixto arrives and tells him to talk to his wife but Manuel denies to. The
funeral procession progresses to church as Humberto is affected profoundly by
his father's death. Rosario arrives at Manuel's home and Antonia orders her to
leave. They fight as Silvano arrives and separates them telling Antonia not to
interfere and escorts Rosario to see Manuel. He denies to talk to her when
Silvano tells him if he only knew who she was and then agrees. Rosario tells
him that she was his mother's friend and tells her story. She tells him she
died and Manuel keeps questioning her. He gets after Silvano for not telling
him Rosario was his mother's friend. He asks Rosario why he covered up
Matilde's infidelity as Damiana and Antonia listen in. He asks her to give him
one reason he's to belive her and she says she cares for Matilde but he's loyal
to him and that if Matilde would have cheated on him she would have told him
and not let him think the child his wife is having is his. Humberto thanks
Josefina for her support and says they are going to get married the day they
picked and that he's going to put his part to get along. Agusta fears that
Manuel will throw them out of their home when Rosario tells Matilde that Manuel
has agreed to see her but that it has to be at that moment. Manuel waits
impatiently for Matilde as Silvano tells him to talk to his wife and then make
a decision. Antonia is deperate and wonders what to do so Manuel won't see
Matilde. Antonia answers the door and pretends to look for Manuel and then goes
back and tells Matilde that Manuel send her a message, that if she wants a name
for her child to look for Adolfo Solis. Matilde is destroyed as she tells
Rosario what happened. Rosario tells her that maybe Antonia lied and Matilde
says she knows Antonia hates her but she wouldn't be capable of being so cruel
and that if Manuel loves her he'll look for her. Matilde tells her mother and
brother that Manuel wanted to see her to make fun of her and humiliate her.
Agusta's surprised when Humberto tells her he's not postponing the wedding.
Manuel tells Silvano that Matilde didn't show up because she's guilty and in a
way he's relieved because if he saw her crying he would forgive her. He gives
orders that they are leaving and Antonia is happy. Pilar visits Matilde as
Rosario learns that Manuel has left town. Matilde tells Pilar that she has
suffered so much and that her child will have her father's name. Manuel is on

to support his family. Damiana tells Antonia to take advantage of Manuel's
drunken state. Antonia kisses Manuel but he turns her down. As she runs out he
falls asleep. Santiago is surprised to see Adolfo at the post and welcomes him
back. Agusta and Prudencia talk about Hilario when Agusta says that Matilde
should seduce Manuel so he can forgive her. Matilde says that she loves Manuel
so much and that she regrets the day she fell out of love with Adolfo because
he would have never made her suffer like Manuel has. Jose Maria arrives in
town. Adolfo tells Santiago he's getting married in two weeks and asks about
the progress in the war. He also learns about Hilario's death and that Manuel
was not present. Humberto tells Jose Maria that the wedding will not be
postponed. Matilde suffers as Rosario suggests to Prudencia that they write a
letter to Father Urbano for help.
Telenovela-World: Small additions to avances/spoilers [to
12/22/04 summary] Author: Marietta (---)
Date: 12-23-04 09:28 PST
I'm going to again
make some small additions to Alta's detailed spoiler for last night. These
details (some visual and non-verbal) may be of interest to those who couldn't
see another excellent episode.
1. Agusta manages
to cut through her grief throughout to blame Mati for any economic disasters or
scandals that may befall them. The absence of Manuel from the funeral is
commented on by several people and this reenforces her worry about scandal.
There is a wonderful scene where she sits at Hilario's desk and tells her two
children in no uncertain terms that the relationships with their partners
(Josefina and Manuel) must be fixed to keep the family from economic ruin. This
comes into play again when Mati goes to see Manuel after Rosario has seen him.
While Mari and Prudencia bustling about, hopeful about a reconciliation for
emotional reasons, Agusta is hateful and all about the economic issues and
potential scandal.
2. Antonia
literally throws herself at Manuel at the inn where they stop on their way back
to San Cayetano. She begs him to make love to her. She says that she can't take
another rejection. He doesn't go for it, but she is not in the least shy about
her desires.
3. Our two
reluctant grooms (Adolfo and Humberto) remain reluctant in their facial
expressions. Humberto tells Renato that he doesn't want to marry Josefina any
more now than before. Both Josefina and Catalina offer ways out of the
marriages. But both are perfect gentlemen with their intendeds and insist that
they will go forward. There's a nice similarity here that frames the anger ,
passion and apparent dissolution of Mati's and Manuel's relationship.
4. At the funeral,
it is apparent that Humberto is very distraught. There is a wonderful series of
shots of the faces (all very serious) of a variety of important people in the
novela, including Dona Juana's nephew. I think the point is to show that there
are a variety of forces in the community influencing this family and a variety
of people who are honoring Hilario.
5. For the first
time, Mati acknowledges that her change in feeling for Adolfo and newly found
deep love for Manuel is difficult for someone else to understand. She tells
Sixto this and he seems to believe that she truly loves Manuel.
6. Rosario's
position is changing quickly and subtly. She and Prudencia walk through the
town together, sew together, intend to write Fr. Urbano together -- all as
conspirators, not as mistress/servant. Rosario's conversation with Manuel also
signals a change of status. While her voice is shaking as she tells the story
of her life (as that of her now dead buddy, the other Rosario) the way that she
tells Manuel that she would never support a lie to him and his facial reaction,
suggests that her relationship with him is now very different as well.
7. Finally, Renato
sings like a bird. He sang beautifully at the funeral and I think I read
somewhere that he is a well-known tenor in Mexican musicals or perhaps light
opera.
I'm sure there
will be some different interpretations from mine of meaning of these events,
but I hope that their retelling helps those folks who are out shopping,
partying or otherwise enjoying the season and thus missing our favorite
program.
Yours from snowy
Ohio,
Marietta

Episode #43
- Antonia tells Damiana that she doesn't care what people say about her and Manuel.
Damiana asks her why she hasn't gotten pregnant or is it that she can't have
any children and she says she probably can but that being a doctor Manuel knows
how to not get a woman pregnant and probably doesn't want any illegitimate
children. Damiana tells her that if she would have given the poison she drank
to Matilde instead of her drinking it months earlier she would now be married
to Manuel. She suggests a way to get rid of Matilde so Manuel could become a
widower. Silvano asks Manuel if he misses Matilde and he confesses that he does
and that he thinks about her everyday. He asks him if he ever wonders if he
made a mistake thinking Matilde cheated on him and that the child could be his.
He says he has no doubts that she cheated on him but the child could be his and
when it's born he's going to bring him home but without Matilde. Catalina is
buying some fabric when she runs into Matilde and she's surprised when she
learns she's married to Adolfo Solis. She asks her if she knows who Adolfo is
and she says she does. Catalina asks her for Manuel and then invites her to her
home. Santiago tells Adolfo about the gossip he's heard about Manuel and
Matilde and asks him if Manuel is greddy and he says he's actually very
generous and Santiago wonders why would he let his wife's family to live in
poverty. Manuel receives a letter from Sixto saying that he saw Matilde at
church and that her pregnancy is well advanced and she looks as beautiful as
ever. He says that if impending motherhood helps her be calm and not listen to
what people are saying about her and her family when he's interrupted by
Antonia. Agusta sees Rosario and follows her to the shed and discovers what
she's been doing all these months. Prudencia becomes angry when she learns what
has become of Adolfo's life when Matilde is suffering when Agusta arrives and
berates her daughter and throws her out. Matilde accepts her mother's decision
and leaves with days away from giving birth. Manuel continues reading the
letter and it says that people are talking about their separation and about
Humberto's marriage and that there are rumors that they are so ruined that
Matilde is sewing for the rich ladies in town. Manuel is moved and writes to
Sixto to tell his banker to give Matilde a monthly income. Matilde tells
Prudencia not to worry as she tells her aunt she's leaving and that she can
stay she has no obligation to go with her. Catalina tells Adolfo she saw
Matilde. Manuel can't stop thinking about Matilde as he tries to ignore
Antonia. The next morning she reads the letter when Manuel leaves as Matilde,
Rosario and Prudencia move into Manuel's home in Trinidad. Antonia wonders if
Manuel regrets throwing his wife out and Damiana suggests to Antonia to kill
Matilde but only after her baby is born and she agrees. Humberto learns that
Matilde is living in Manuel's home and the reason why Agusta threw her out and
he feels guilty. Prudencia corrects Rosario's speech as she and Matilde plan to
attend church. Father Urbano visits Manuel and he tells him he's helping
Matilde monetarily. The priest gets after him and Manuel says he's helping her
because he feels pity for her. He denies that he still loves her and the priest
tells him that his actions say something different. He asks him if he wants the
life that he had for his son and he yells saying that he'll decide what to do
when the baby is born. He asks him if he thinks he's God and he says he's a
disgraced man who has had a bad life. On her way to church Matilde suffers
labor pains as Catalina runs to her side to help her. Father Urbano and Manuel
are eating when they are informed that one of his worker's wife's giving birth.
At that same moment Matilde is about to give birth. Manuel tells his worker
that his child is settled wrong and that if he tries to move him his wife and
child can die and the worker tells him he has faith in him and will leave it in
God's hands. Matilde also has complications while a mid-wife tends to her.
Renato asks Humberto if he's going to tell Manuel about the birth and then asks
him if he's sure the baby is Manuel's. He defends his sister saying that she's
a decent woman and hits him after he insults him. The banker visits Agusta and
gives her the money Manuel sent for Matilde. Prudencia tells Pilar to get a
doctor. Father Urbano congratulates Manuel and he admits it's the first time he
delivers a baby who was in the reverse position and Manuel tells his godfather
that he learned the new procedure in medical school, but had only done the
procedure in practice. Manuel admits to the priest that he was thinking of
Matilde when he was delivering the baby. He admits to his godfather that he
still loves her and he advises him to go to Trinidad under another pretext in
order to help her if she needs him. He comments that she didn't see him the last
time he was in Trinidad and in 6 months she hasn't written to him so he doesn't
think she needs him. The priest assures and re-assures Manuel that Matilde's
child is his. Catalina tells Adolfo what happened to Matilde and she realizes
Matilde was his true love when he denies to see if there's any news about

Episode #44
- Agusta tells Prudencia that Manuel sent money for Matilde but not to tell
her. Manuel reads Humberto's telegram and tells Antonia who asks him questions
that his wife had a son. She asks him if he's going to go see her and he says
he isn't when Damiana tells her it's time to put their plan in motion.
Margarita tells Catalina and Adolfo that Matilde had a son and he admits to her
that Matilde is the woman he was in love with but assures her she's his past
and now he's with her and hugs her. Days later, Father Urbano asks Manuel why
Antonia went to Trinidad and not him and gets after him for not letting him
know his son was born 10 days before. The priest tells him he's dying to see
his wife and his son but that his arrogance gets in the way. Prudencia asks
Matilde if she's written to Manuel and she says if he cared he would already be
there. Rosario sees Antonia arrive at the house and tells Matilde. Tomas asks
Antonia if Manuel is coming to see his son she orders him to put her bags in
Manuel's room when Matilde enters and orders him not to. When she tells her the
only available room is in the back Antonia denies to stay there so Matilde
suggest she stay in a hotel. Rosario is bothered by her son's attitude. Antonia
tells Matilde she's Manuel's woman and Matilde says she's his wife and she's
the mistress. Antonia tells her that Manuel has forgotten her because she
betrayed him because if the baby was his he would already be there. She says
that he doesn't know that baby has been born and she tells her that Humberto
sent Manuel a telegram two weeks earlier. She says she doesn't care because the
law says she's his wife and insults her. She tells her to tell Manuel she's
there. Antonia tells her she can't throw her out and Matilde says if she wants
to see who the servants will listen to she'll do it. Antonia has no choice but
to leave. Rosario becomes angry when she learns Manuel knows of his son's
birth. Damiana suggests to Antonia not to tell Manuel or Matilde could tell him
of the time she visited him, the letter she wrote to him that she later burned
and the plan to kill her will be ruined. Prudencia suggests to Matilde they
leave before Manuel arrives and she denies to. Silvano tells Manuel to look for
his wife as he tells him that she's not as guilty as she seems. He says that
he's met a lot of women along the way and that Matilde was different. Manuel
says that's the problem, Matilde has an angelic and innocent look and that if
he doesn't go look for her it's not because of arrogance or pride like his
godfather said it's because he's afraid he's going to lose his dignity and fall
to his knees and forgive her. He cries saying that he thought he could forget
his wife with time but he hasn't been able to. Agusta learns that Manuel has a
lover and Prudencia asks her for the money Manuel sent but she denies to give
it to her. Rosario tells Matilde that if Manuel doesn't accept his son she's
going to tell him she's his mother because she's not embarrased anymore now
that she knows how to read and write thanks to her and Prudencia. Catalina
writes to her sister as Adolfo presents her with a ceramic dove to keep her
company and re-assures her that he cares and loves her. Manuel is in deep
thought when soldiers enter his property looking for rebels and he runs them
off. He then orders Silvano to search his property. Manuel wonders if Matilde
didn't lie to him and that the child is his when Silvano tells him they found
four rebels and two are injured. Manuel tends to them as he introduces himself
and one of them says to the other that Manuel is a cattleman. Manuel meets
rebels Lorenzo Rojas (Mario del Rio) and Amadeo Corona (Rafael Rojas) and he
offers any help and they take him up on his offer to sell them cattle. Damiana
and Antonia get their plan ready to kill Matilde. Rosario wonders if Manuel
will appear and Matilde says that he doesn't care. Agusta suggests to Prudencia
they write a telegram to Manuel signing Antonia's name but she denies to do it.
Damiana tells her godson of the plan. Tomas goes to answer the door as
Damiana's godson enters Manuel's home. Manuel learns his wife and son are
staying in his home and then asks for Antonia. Tomas says Matilde threw her out
when Silvano laughs and Manuel gets after him. Tomas and Silvano see someone on
the roof and follow him. Manuel sees Matilde and the baby sleeping and he puts
him in his crib and sits down and waits for Matilde to wake up. Silvano
accidentally kills the man and Tomas tells him he's Damiana's godson. Matilde
awakens and becomes worried when her son is not by her side and is startled
when Manuel tells her he's in his crib. She asks him if Antonia told him she
was there and he says she didn't and he says he doesn't know what he's going to
do when she asks him if he's going to throw them out. He sits next to her and
tells her to say something to convince him and begins to kiss her. Say what she
says, that I love you, that I miss you and that this is our son Manuel, ours.
He kisses her and says he couldn't forget her and that he's with her once
again. She tells him not to say anything he's going to regret and that they
need to talk. Silvano tells Tomas not to bother Manuel about the intruder as he
has more important things to attend to. Matilde explains to Manuel that when
she first saw Adolfo she begged him to leave but he didn't want to and blames
herself for making him believe she would run off with him on the day of
wedding. Manuel asks her why she didn't leave with him when he got to San
Cayetano and she tells him that she was already his. He asks her if she told
him that why didn't he leave. He asks her what her feelings were and she says that
she still loved him but that her feelings started changing when he saw he was
injured and was almost killed. He tells her that she felt pity for him and she
says she didn't because she realized that he had feelings and was a man who
needed tenderness and care and that with the passage of the days she longed for
his company and his talks and would get emotional everytime he looked at her.
She tells him she was also living in hell because Adolfo didn't want to leave.
He asks her why she didn't tell him and she says that she was afraid, she
didn't want to lose his love or for him to be an assasin or be killed. He says
that when another man tries to steal another man's wife he deserves death. When
Matilde tells him that Adolfo was also a victim he becomes angry saying Adolfo
has no scruples running off with Catalina. He asks her if there was anything
between Adolfo and her when he was in San Cayetano and she says the baby is
his. He tells her to answer the question and she hesitates telling him it's
nothing compared to what he has with Antonia. He says he's a man and becomes
more angry when she says one day he told her they were equals and he walks out.
Silvano tells Manuel that he killed an intruder as Matilde tells Prudencia they
are leaving. Manuel arrives at the hotel to tell Damiana that her godson is
dead and Antonia is surprised to see him.

Added details to summary, Dec. 29 Author: Marietta

I've made just a
few small additions to Alta's long summary. So much happened last night that I
thought some additional details might be helpful to those of you who didn't get
to watch.

_________________________________________
Antonia now
dresses as the lady of the house, with a fancy bonnet and hoop skirts. She also
has a different hair style, a more sophisticated one. Antonia tells Damiana
that she doesn't care what people say about her and Manuel. Damiana asks why
she hasn't gotten pregnant. She wonders if Antonia can't have children. Antonia
replies that Manuel is a doctor and knows how to prevent it. And she doubts
that he wants illegitimate children. Damiana tells her that if she'd given
Matilde the poison instead of drinking it herself, Manuel would be a widower
now. Damiana pledges to think about how they might get rid of Matilde when the
baby is born.
Silvano says that
he has tried to hold his tongue, but must now ask Manuel if he misses Matilde.
Manuel confesses that he does miss her and thinks about her every day. Silvano
wonders if Manuel ever thinks that he made a mistake and that the whild could
be his. Manuel says that he has no doubts that she cheated on him but that the
child could be his and when the child is born he intends to bring it to San
Cayetano, without Matilde.
Catalina, coughing
again, is buying some fabric. She runs into Matilde who is surprised to hear
that Catalina is married to Adolfo Solis. Catalina tells Mati the whole story,
including her aunt's intervention in the case and Adolfo's reappointment to the
army. Catalina hopes that they can visit since she feels alone in town. Matilde
is definitely the mature lady now, never flinching as Catalina relates the
painful story and seeming to indeed be happy for them.
Mati relates to
Tia Pru the story of running into Catalina. Prudencia gives a wonderful little
speech about the ironies of the situation. Adolfo ruined Mati's marriage, but
is now married to a rich woman and is a captain in the army. Mati protests,
saying that she, Manuel and Adolfo were all victims, victims of her mother. As she
says it, Agusta storms in, having discovered that Rosario is working as a
seamstress out of a little shed in the backyard and that Matilde is in on it.
What follows is a horrible scene in which Agusta pushes Mati, tells her she
hates her, and throws her out of the house. Prudencia, crying and horrified,
physically defends Mati and scolds Agusta, who runs out of the room.
Santiago and
Adolfo walk together. Santiago asks Adolfo if the gossip he has heard about
Manuel is true, that he's greedy and has left Matilde and her family destitute.
Adolfo says that in fact Manuel is a very generous man.
Manuel receives a
letter from Sixto, telling him that he saw Matilde in church, that her
pregnancy is well advanced and that she looks as beautiful as ever. He wonders
if impending motherhood has helped her to stay calm and not to listen to what
people are saying about her and her family. As Manuel reads, Antonia walks in.
Mati accepts her
mother's decision and leaves within days of giving birth. Tia Pru cries for the
baby under these circumstances. Mati says that this was bound to happen
eventually.
Manuel continues
to read and discovers that people are talking about their separation and about
Humberto's marriage. The letter says that people say that the family is in such
dire straits that Matilde is sewing for the rich ladies in town. Manuel is
moved and says, "Matilde, I didn't want this for you." He writes to
Sixto to tell his banker to give Mati a monthly income.
Catalina tells
Adolfo that she saw Matilde. She says that she told Mati the entire story of
their own relationship and marriage and that Mati is close to giving birth.
Manuel can't stop
thinking about Antonia as he tries to ignore Antonia, in bed next to him and
pestering him about what's wrong. The next day Antonia reads the letter. She
wonders if Manuel regrets throwing his wife out. Damiana suggests a way to get
ride of Matilde. Antonia should go to Trinidad after the baby is born to buy
clothes. She will meet there a hired killer that Damiana knows from the
capitol.
Mati, Pru and
Rosario move into Manuel's house in Trinidad. They are greeted by the watchman
with open arms. Mati tells him that they will stay until the baby comes. Mati
comments about how the ladies of the aristocracy would rather starve than work
to earn money.
Humberto learns
from Agusta that Mati is living in Manuel's house and why Agusta threw her out.
He feels guilty and reassures his mother that she won't have to sell more of
her jewelry since the harvest was good this year and he's found a buyer. Agusta
tells Humberto that she doubts that Manuel knows that Mati and co. have
installed themselves in the house.
Prudencia corrects
Rosario's speech as she and Mati prepare to go to church. Clearly Rosario is
moving up in the world and Prudencia's help has been important to this.
Padre Urbano
visits Manuel. Manuel tells him that he is helping Mati monetarily. Padre tells
him that Mati and the baby need his love and protection more than his money.
Manuel says he is helping her out of pity rather than love. Padre says that his
actions say something different. He asks Manuel if he wants the same life for
his child that he experienced. Manuel yells and says that he'll decide what to
do when the baby is born. Padre Manuel if he thinks he is God. Manuel says he
is a disgraced man who has had a tough life.
On her way to
church Mati suffers labor pains. Catalina is in the crowd in front of the
church. Catalina runs to Mati's side.
Padre, Manuel,
Damiana and Antonia are at the dinner table. A man comes in to say that one of
the wife of one of the workers is giving birth. Padre and Manuel run out.
Damiana says that Antonia should tell the servants not to be bothering them
with these petty things during their meals. Antonia says, what, and risk his
wrath? You see how he is about medical issues.
Mati is trying to
give birth, as is the worker's wife. Manuel tells his worker that the child is
settled wrong and that if he tires to move him his wife and child could die.
The worker tlells hims that he has faith in him and will leave it in God's
hands. Matilde is having a hard time as the midwife tends to her.
Renato and
Humberto await the birth of Mati's child. Renato asks Humberto if he's going to
tell Manuel about the birth. He then asks if he is shre that the baby is
Manuel's. Humberto defends his sister, saying that she is a decent woman. He
then hits Humberto. Renato notes that Humberto is a changed man. H. says that
he doesn't like R.'s jokes. Of course, he's a changed man. He chronicles the
disasters that have befallen the family. Renato leaves.
The banker visits
Agusta with money from Manuel. Even in these circumstances she tries to save
face, creating a pretense for why this is happening.
Padre Urbano congratulates
Manuel, who admits that this is the first time he has done the procedures of
reversing the baby as it is born. Manuel admits to the priest that he was
thinking of Matilde when he was delivering the baby. He admits that he still
loves her. Padre suggets that he go to Trinidad, under some pretext that will
protect his "manly pride" to help her if she needs him. Manuel
comments tht she didn't see him the last time that he was in Trinidad and in 6
months she hasn't written so she doesn't seem to need him. The priest assures
and reassures Manuel that the child is his.
Cataline tells
Adolfo what happened to Matilde. She wants him to go to the house to see what
is happening. He refuses and she realizes that Mati is Adolfo's true love.
Pilar, Josefina,
Renato (who has returned) and Humberto wait nervously for the baby. Earlier
Josefina asked Pilar if the gossip about the big fight that separated Manuel
and Mati could be true. Pilar doesn't respond.
Prudencia has
insisted that a doctor be called. As he arrives, they hear cries.
Humberto tells
Agust that she is now a grandmother of a little baby boy that resembles his
grandmother. Agusta is distraught that she was not told that Mati was about to
give birth. She wants to send a telegram to Manuel, signing Mati's name. The
arrival of the allowance from Manuel is a good sign. She doesn't want to tell
Mati about the money for fear that she will give it back.
Adolfo thinks to
himself and tells Matilde in his mind that if she hadn't been a coward the baby
could have been theirs.
Matilde is
delighted with the baby. Rosario says that the baby boy looks like Manuel when
he was born. She asks if Mati will write to Manuel. She says that Manuel alway
knew of the child's existence and that the baby is her and hers alone.

Episode #44 - the
1/2 hr. of new stuff:
AUgusta tells
Prudencia that Manuel sent money for Matilde but not to tell her. Augusta
doesn’t want to risk Matilde sending it back in a fit of pride. She figures
that Manuel has shown he really does still care for Matilde and since he’s
taken the first step, it’s up to her daughter to send a letter in response.
They need to reconcile. She asks that Prudencia try to convince Matilde to
write him. Pru agrees and then also convinces Augusta since the baby’s born it
would be bad luck to continue their mourning.
Manuel reads
Humberto's telegram and tells Antonia who asks him questions that his wife had
a son. She asks him if he's going to go see her and he says he isn't. Then
Damiana tells her it's time to put their plan into motion.
Margarita tells
Catalina and Adolfo that Matilde had a son and he admits to her that Matilde is
the woman he was in love with, but assures her she's his past and now he's with
her and hugs her. Days later, Father Urbano asks Manuel why Antonia, the
mistress, went to Trinidad and not him and gets after him for not letting him
know his son was born 10 days before. The priest tells him he's dying to see
his wife and his son but that his arrogance gets in the way.
Prudencia asks
Matilde if she's written to Manuel and she says if he cared he would already be
there. Rosario is coming back from their shop and sees Antonia arrive at the
house. She enters through the back entrance and tells Matilde that Damiana and
Antonia have just arrived and probably have already entered the house. In the
parlor Tomas asks Antonia if Manuel is coming to see his son. Damiana tells him
to stop asking them so many questions. Damiana tells him use the same rooms as
last time but Antonia orders him to put her bags in Manuel's room when Matilde
suddenly enters the room and orders him not to. Antonia asks what Matilde’s
doing there, Matilde asks her what she came to do there. When she tells her the
only available room is in the back Antonia refuses to stay there so Matilde
suggest she stay in a hotel. So Antonia asks to speak to Matilde in private
since she obviously doesn’t know that things have changed in Manuel’s life.
Rosario is bothered by her son's attitude. Antonia tells Matilde she's Manuel's
woman; Matilde says she's his wife and Antonia, however much it pains her, is
still just the mistress. Antonia tells her that Manuel has forgotten her
because she betrayed him, and had a bastard, and, because if the baby was his
he would already be there. Matilde says that he doesn't know that baby has been
born and she tells her that Humberto sent Manuel a telegram two weeks earlier.
Matilde says she doesn't care because the law and the Church both recognize her
as his wife and insults her with a snapping of her fingers, saying, “ Grab your
things and ‘Largate! Largate’”. Antonia threatens to tell Manuel and have her
thrown out. Matilde tells her to go ahead and tell Manuel she's there, so what.
Antonia tells her she can't throw her out and Matilde says if she wants to see
who the servants will listen to she'll do it. Antonia has no choice but to leave.
Rosario becomes
angry when she learns Manuel knows of his son's birth. --Damiana suggests to
Antonia not to tell Manuel or Matilde could tell him of the time she visited
him when Antonia refused to let her enter, or about the letter that she wrote
to him that Antonia later burned and their plan to kill her will be ruined.
They have plenty of money for a hotel and it’s better that Manuel not be there
when her godson arrives to do his dirty-work.
Prudencia suggests
to Matilde they leave before Manuel arrives; but she now refuses to leave. Then
Prudencia asks why she doesn’t move back in with her mother and Matilde says
that she’s not going to listen to her mother’s haranguing anymore. She’s not
going anywhere now, and if Manuel should decide to come, then just let him!!
Silvano tells
Manuel to look for his wife as he tells him that she's not as guilty as she
seems. It’s obvious that Antonia excites him and is great in his bed, but she
doesn’t really satisfy his need for his wife. Otherwise he wouldn’t go around
all day like some madman/ bat out of hell. He says that he's met lots of women
along the way and that Matilde was different. Manuel says that's the problem,
Matilde has an angelic and innocent look; when she cries it can break one’s
heart in two. If he doesn't go look for her it's not because of arrogance or
pride, like his godfather said. It's because he's afraid he's going to lose his
dignity, and fall to his knees and forgive her. He cries saying that he thought
he could forget his wife with time but he hasn't been able to.
Augusta learns
that Manuel has a lover and Prudencia asks her for the money Manuel sent so
they might move to another house, but she refuses to give it to her. Rosario
tells Matilde that if Manuel doesn't accept his son she's going to tell him
she's his mother because she's not embarrassed anymore, now that she knows how
to read and write and has improved her appearance -- thanks to her and
Prudencia. Matilde asks her again, then about her supposedly lurid past, but
Rosario refuses to touch the subject and says she hopes Matilde won’t fall and
end up following the same path.
Catalina writes to
her sister as Adolfo presents her with a ceramic dove to keep her company and
he re-assures her that he cares and loves her. He says he feels bad that she’s
alone all day, and that Matilde is not a bad person and holds nothing against
her. Catalina says she wishes she didn’t know the truth, and that she could
have remained a faceless, imaginary foe. She forgives him for his compassionate
lies.
Manuel is in deep
thought when soldiers enter his property looking for rebels and he runs them
off. He says he and his men will look for them, not the soldiers. They have no
right to be on his land. He then orders Silvano and the others to search his
property. --Manuel is wondering what if Matilde didn't lie to him and what if
the child really is his when Silvano tells him they found four rebels and two
are injured. Manuel tends to them as he introduces himself as the owner of the
hacienda and one of them says to the other that Manuel is a cattleman.

Episode #45
- Matilde asks Tomas to unlock the back door since she's leaving. She learns
Manuel is not home and tells him that Silvano killed an intruder. Damiana cries
over the news of her godson's death and Manuel asks Antonia why she didn't tell
him that Matilde was staying in his home and she tells him that she didn't want
to cause him any problems and he looks at both of them and tells them they are
hiding something and leaves. Damiana tells Antonia she's glad her godson is
dead because that way he won't say why he was there. Antonia wonders why Manuel
didn't ask her to go with him. Matilde arrives at her home and Manuel to his
when Tomas tells him Matilde left and he yells at him telling him why he let
her go. Silvano tells him it's not Tomas' fault and he learns that Rosario is
there. The next morning Rosario learns what happened the night before. Matilde
tells her mother that she had to tell Manuel the truth when he asked her if
something happened between her and Adolfo when he arrived in San Cayetano.
Agusta wonders if the baby is Adolfo's and Matilde assures her the baby is
Manuel's. She asks her daughter why she told Manuel the truth and she explains
saying that she felt guilt and had to get it off her chest but now she knows
that there is no possibility of a reconciliation. Rosario learns from Silvano
that Manuel and Matilde talked and that he didn't want her to leave. She tells
Silvano that Matilde and Prudencia taught her to read and write and how to
dress better. She tells him that Matilde knows she's Manuel's mom and that if
he's ashamed of her it doesn't matter because she is what she is, his mother.
Manuel tells Silvano he's going to Matilde's home. To bring her home he asks
and he bluntly says he's going .to bring his sone home, not her. Silvano tells
Rosario what Manuel wants to do and she says she's not going to let him do that
and that she's going to stop him. Manuel and Catalina come face to face and he
learns she's married to Adolfo Solis. She walks away and Manuel has a young boy
follow her to learn where she lives. Rosario arrives at Matilde's and learns
what happened between her son and daughter-in-law and asks her if they talked
about the baby. Manuel pays a visit to General Dominguez. Catalina worries that
Manuel knows who Adolfo really is. Rosario tells Prudencia that Manuel wants to
take the baby and she decides to talk to him. Prudencia tells Matilde who says
that no one is going to take her son away from her. Manuel meets with Frisco
and he explains that an injustice has been committed against Adolfo and that
everything has been cleared and that he had help from Juana Polofox. He tells
him that Adolfo asked for personal leave and if there's an urgency to see him
when he asks him for cattle and Manuel tells him he doesn't have any since he
send a herd to Cuba. The young boy goes to Manuel's house looking for him when
Catalina arrives and asks to talk to Matilde who learns that she is at her
mother's house. Agusta almost faints when Matilde tells her that Rosario is
Manuel's mother. Rosario arrives at Manuel's and learns Antonia and Damiana are
waiting for him. Manuel arrives at the Penarvel home and when he sees Catalina
he leaves. She tells Matilde to help her now that Manuel has seen her. She
tells her that Adolfo told her the story of them and she explains the reason
why Manuel threw her out of his life. Matilde tells her that they have to warn
Adolfo as she wonders if Manuel will kill him. Agusta is embarrased to learn
who Rosario really is and Prudencia makes fun of her. Catalina explains to
Matilde how she met Adolfo and that he's everything to her. She also admits to
her that she's dying and that she was the one who ran off with him and begs
Matilde to talk to Manuel on her part. The young boy tells Manuel where
Catalina lives and that the neighbors told him they moved in 6 months earlier
and he starts becoming furious. Rosario tells Silvano he wants to talk to
Manuel after he talks to Sixto. Manuel tells Sixto that he wants to talk to him
and he ignores Antonia. Sixto tells Manuel he's exagerrating at thinking that
Matilde and Adolfo have been together since they have lived in the same city
for the last 6 months. He tells him he believes it's true since Matilde told
him the night before that something happened between them. Rosario sits in the
living room and Antonia begins to mistreat her and threatens her. Silvano
defends her and when she insults Antonia a fight ensues and Silvano has to
separate them. Sixto tells Manuel that he would have put his hands in fire in
defense of Matilde but he needs to know how far things got in order prove the
baby is his. Antonia interrupts them telling her that Rosario scratched her. He
orders everyone to leave but Rosario denies to. When Manuel calls Matilde a
prostitute, Rosario tells him the prostitute is Antonia. He yells at her to
leave but not before she tells him that if he tries to take away the baby from
Matilde he is no better than his father who was a despicable man. She walks out
and tells Silvano she's leaving since Manuel threw her out. Sixto tells Manuel
that Rosario has a point about taking the baby away from Matilde when Silvano
enters and asks him why he threw Rosario out. A furious Manuel asks why he
defends her, because he slept with her. Silvano blurts out that she's his
mother and he's shocked. He says it isn't true and Sixto asks him if he's sure.
He says he knew Rosario before Manuel was even born. He tells him that he, the
priest and Matilde kept quiet thinking he would be embarrased of her. He asks
him if Matilde knew and he says that that's why she has her in her home and
taught her how to read and write and dresses her like a lady. Agusta tells
Humberto that Rosario is Manuel's mother when she arrives to see Matilde.
Antonia denies to leave when Matilde arrives and asks to see Manuel. She and
Antonia have a confrontation and she slaps her knocking her to the floor as
Silvano and Sixto look on. Matilde enters Manuel's office and he asks her when
she knew Rosario was his mother. She tells him she realized it when she saw her
pay special care toward him and he says that despite knowing that she asked her
to be a liasion between her and Adolfo. She tells him things didn't get as far
as he thinks and he tells her she hurt him. She says they hurt each other and
begs him for another chance and to begin all over again. He kisses her
passionately and then asks her why she's there. She tells him Catalina is sick
and he says he also is, of jealousy and rage. She tells him not to look for
Adolfo because he could be killed. He tells her she should be happy because she
says she would be a wealthy widow and she tells him she doesn't want him to
die. He tells him it was destiny who put him in that position. She tells him
that it wasn't destiny but his pride and vow of vengeance. He says that if he
kills Adolfo it will be a satisfaction and if he kills him it will all be over
and tells her to leave. She tells him they have to reason and he says it's not
about a head of cattle. It's about a man who pretending to be his friend and
shaking his hand on one side and sleeping with his wife on the other. She
swears to him that she never slept with Adolfo and that she kissed him twice
when he arrived in San Cayetano when they were mad and then fell in love with
him. She assures him that she loves him and that she couldn't fake being with
him. He asks her if she told that to Adolfo and she says he didn't believe her,
he thought her views and the thought of a scandal kept her at his side. He says
that despite all that he didn't leave so now he wants a satisfaction. Matilde
tells him that he doesn't want either to die and he tells her she sould have
thought of that before.

Rosario wants to
speak to Manuel, Also Damiana and Antonia are waiting for him. When Damiana and
Antonia see Rosario and then see her sit down they are shocked and Antonia is
insulted when Rosario sits down in the living room like a Senora. Antonia or
Damiana threat Rosario to kick her out if she does not leave. Silvano interfers
and tells her if they touch Rosario he will slap them silly twice... Rosario
says I don't need help, Silvano, this lady needs to keep her cool and be
retrieved if she wants to continue being 'la querida del senor'. This was too
much for Antonia. She attacked Rosario but Rosario marked three of her nails on
Antonia's cheek. As ANtonia was running to Manuel crying whinning that Rosario
and Silvano hit her, Silvano was trying to keep Rosario and Daminana separated,
with not very good progress.
In comes Manuel.
HE yells what's going on here!! when Silvano tells him to listen to Rosario,
Manuel explodes and says everyone out!!!
When Rosario does
not want to leave Manuel begins offending and insulting her and threatening her
that he will drag her out.
R: YOu need to
listen to la senora.
M: I don't have to
listen to anyone , least of all you!! My wife is nothing but a ramera!!
R: Ramera is the
woman you have taken recently, not your Senora!!
WHen Manuel is
about to jump her, Sixto jumps in between them, saying maybe she is going nuts.
R: Maybe I am
going nuts, but with all this suffering it is normal. I can't stand seeing you
suffer, and la Senora suffer... but most of all I feel for your kid... is it
true you want to take it from his mother?
M: I don't have to
give you any explanations or justifications...
R: No, but the man
who takes the baby away from its mother is a maldito!!! UN Maldito!!! Same as
your father was a MALDITO!!!
M: (about to jump
her again, gets grabbed by Sixto again) who does she think she is?? How does
she dare??
R: Sure I dare!!
OF course I dare!!! (Claro que me atrevo!!)
(without letting
Manuel digest that she runs out... goes right by Silvano, who tries to stop her
at the door, but she says Manuel kicked her out... Silvano asks her if she told
him, but she won't answer... Silvano heads to Manuel at warp speed...)
(Meanwhile Sixto
is telling Manuel she was right, why are you doing this if you don't think the
baby is yours?? out of vengeance??. In comes Silvano mad as heck)
S: Did you kick
her out?? DId you kick her out??
M: WHo?
S: Rosario!
M: (it is
Silvano's turn for Manuel to charge, Manuel grabs him hard by the arms) Look,
Silvano!! I don't know why you defend her so much!! IS it because you slept
with her?? HAH??
S: (shakes himself
off from Manuel before yelling back) Don't you dare say that again or I will
break all your teeth!!! NEVER SPEAK AGAIN LIKE THAT OF THE ONE WHO BROUGHT YOU
TO THE WORLD!! (Manuel freezes)
M: What?? (in
disbelief) my mother?...
S: Yes!! Your
mother!...
M: No... ... my
mother is dead..
S: She is not
dead!! she is the one I am telling you!!
Six: How do you
know?
S: How could I not
know if I know her since before he was born!!
M: (falls on couch
totally disbalanced) ... why did you not tell me until now??
S: Because she
didn't want us to ! I kept quiet just like Padrecito and your wife!!
M: ... Matilde...
knows?..
S: Why do you think
she has her dressed like a lady, has her living with her and even taught her to
read and write?
M: (totally
devastated, cries...Sixto is holding one of his hands in support)
(At the Penalver
mansion...)
Matilde tells her
mother she talked to Manuel but he still does not believe her... and when
Augusta makes reference to Rosario as being a maid,
Mati: Si, es una
criada... pero tambien la madre de Manuel.
(Augusta falls
back in the couch)...
Aug:
Ay,ay,ay,ay... Dios del cielo!.... Ten piedad!... (Pru is fast to point that
this makes Rosario and her 'consuegras' (peer mother in laws, not sure there is
an english word for this)
(later on Augusta
and Pru have a conversation.. Augusta dreads the day Manuel shows Rosario
around town as his mother ...
(Pru smirks at
Antonia's suffering about the social implications)
When Humberto
arrives home he sees Rosario go up the stairs...
signals to
Augusta..(what's up with her)
Au: See that
sirvienta?
Hu: Yes...
Au: She is no
sirvienta, but Manuel's mother.
Hu: (laughs) is
this a joke?
Au: No... no

#46 - Manuel
asks Silvano for Antonia and he tells her she went back to the hotel when
Matilde walks in for her umbrella and excuses herself. Manuel then asks Silvano
where his mother could be and then tells him to keep a vigil on Adolfo Solis'
house and to inform him when he returns. Sixto tells him to think what he's
doing and he says he is. Silvano asks him to describe him and Manuel tells him
he'll recognize him when he sees him because he passed himself off as Felipe
Santamaria. Matilde visits Catalina and she asks her if she talked to Manuel
and if he wants to see Adolfo dead. Matilde tells her to calm down but she says
she can't since a fool is trying to kill her husband and Matilde tells her that
fool is her husband and she apologizes and begs Matilde to do something, that
what happened was in the past and now she has a child. She tells her that
Manuel doesn't want to listen to reason and that he doesn't care if he's the
one that dies. She suggests that maybe they can talk to Adolfo when he returns
and he can offer Manuel an apology as she tries to console Catalina. Agusta is
worried about what people are going to say about Rosario being Manuel's mother.
Hu,berto tells her it could be a good thing since Rosario is close to Matilde
she could intercede with Manuel. Rosario asks Prudencia where Matilde went.
Silvano sees Matilde leave Adolfo's house and hides. Catalina worries that one
man is going to die. Humberto denies Agusta to talk to Josefina about the power
of attorney when Manuel arrives and she asks him if he's there for Matilde and
he says he's there for his mother. As she goes to get her she learns that
Agusta knows who she is. Prudencia makes a face at Agusta when she tells
Rosario that if she would have known who she really was she would have treated
her differently. Humberto tells Manuel to celebrate that he found his mother
and he calls him a hypocrite. Humberto tells him he's a complex man. He answers
that it could be but at least he's sincere. He sees Rosario and tells her
Silvano told him the truth and he's there to take him home. Agusta wonders
about the encounter. Rosario walks behind Manuel when he stops and grabs her
arm telling her that Silvano said that she didn't want to tell him the truth
because he would be embarrased. He tells her that he hasn't forgotten who he is
and where he came from and that they are like strangers but he hopes they can
one day confide in each other and she hopes for the same. Matilde is happy when
she learns that Manuel knows Rosario is his mother and has taken her home. She
then tells her mother about Manuel's plan to confront Adolfo and that he
doesn't want to listen to reason. Agusta blames her daughter for everything and
tells her to do what she can to change his mind, eben seduce him. Matilde
blames her mother as she tells her that people will be talking about her if the
deul happens. She asks her if that's all she worried about, what about one of
them being killed. Agusta says she hopes both will kill each other and orders
her daughter to fix it as Prudencia tells her that her mother doesn't measure
her words when she's angry. She asks her if she talked to Manuel about the baby
and she says she'll be dead before she's separated from her son. Manuel arrives
home with Rosario and asks her if he's really her son and she says if he wished
she would say no. He says he doesn't and he asks because he doesn't remember
anything about her and he thought she was dead. He tells her that she's a
stranger to him and she says he isn't as she puts a baby shoe in his hands. She
tells him that when she returned to town he was the boss and she was a maid. He
asks her why she didn't tell him who she was when she first arrived in San
Cayetano and she says because of fear and ignorance. She's poor and he's a
doctor and married to a distinguished and good woman. He tells her he doesn't
want to talk about Matilde and that many things happened between them that he
can't forgive much less forget. He tells her to make herself at home and leaves
the baby shoe and the silver coin on the table and leaves. Rosario picks them
up and calls herself a fool thinking he was going to welcome her with open arms
as she falls to the floor crying. Humberto talks to Josefina and gets after her
asking her who gave her permission to go out and insults her. He asks her about
the power of attorney and she insinuates that she will revoke it on one
condition. Humberto tells her to keep her money because he'll never sleep with
her. She tries to apologize but he walks out on her. Ramon talks to Yves about
the war when Frisco arrives and tells him that Manuel is in town and that he
denied to sell him catlle and Ramon decides to investigate him. Damiana
suggests to Antonia to look for someone else considering that Manuel will
return to Matilde. She says that Manuel will never abandon her because he was
her first and her nana tells her to get pregnant to have a bond with Manuel.
Matilde plays with her son when Prudencia arrives and suggests she talk to
Adolfo. Manuel asks Rosario why she didn't set a place for her at the table and
tells her she's not eating in the kitchen. Pilar gives Renato money as they
talk about Humberto and he tells her he's impotent. Rosario excuses herself
from dinner as Manuel tells Sixto he doesn't know how to break the ice. Sixto
suggests he ask Matilde for help but denies to. Sixto tells his friend he's
exagerrating concerning his wife and he says he probably is but that's how he
feels. Sixto asks him then if a duel is worth dying for a woman who he says
cheated on him and he says he's not doing it for her but for him. Matilde hopes
for a miracle. Silvano sees Adolfo and Delfino return to town. Margarita tells
Adolfo that Catalina doesn't feel well. Catalina tells her husband that Manuel
knows the truth and believes that the baby is his and that he wants to kill
him. Adolfo becomes worried when his wife starts to cough up blood and tries to
calm her down. Manuel is practing his shooting skills when Silvano tells him
that Adolfo has arrived in town. He then tells Rosario what Manuel is planning
to do. Adolfo talks to Delfino about accepting Manuel's offer to a duel when
Matilde arrives and begs him not to confront Manuel and begs him to leave town
but he denies to. She tells him to think of Catalina because she needs him. He
asks her if she needs him because he would have never have abandoned her
knowing she was pregnant. Silvano talks to Rosario. Manuel sees Ignacia and

=========
Manuel challenges
Adolfo to a duel till the death the following morning, and he agrees. Manuel
angrily tells him to tell his wife to get out of his house immediately. Matilde
tells Adolfo that he and Manuel are worried about their pride and not of her
and Catalina's feelings. Adolfo says he can’t just go off because then he’d be
considered a coward! Then Matilde in frustration blames herself for all of this
mess but Adolfo says she of all people is least to blame, or not at all. He
tells her that it's inevitable and that both he and Manuel are at fault for
what happened: Manuel for taking her from him initially, and then he for
imposing himself with the intent to lie about his identity and to steal her away
after she was already married. He admits he would do the same as Manuel in his
place.
An impatient
Manuel tells Ignacia to get Matilde or he'll go get her. Ignacia, frightened,
runs in and tells Matilde what Manuel just told her and Adolfo says that he
can't enter his home; he’s NOT permitting such rudeness in his house! Matilde
tells him she's leaving and begs him to do something but he refuses to, saying
there’s nothing anyone can do.
Outside the gate,
Manuel grabs Matilde and asks her what she's doing there as she says that she
hoped she could convince Adolfo to back away and then begs him to cancel the
due. “My life or Adolfo's?” he asks. Matilde tells him she loves him and he
calls her a hypocrite, telling her that if she loved him she would be at his
home and not Adolfo's. She tells him that she thought she might be able to make
Adolfo back down. She begs him to forget the past and to start over and he says
he cannot because she made fun of him and that he's not even sure her son is
his. Then he walks her home.
Delfino tells
Adolfo that he'll kill Manuel with the first shot and then talks about him
being Adolfo’s assistant/second there at the duel. Catalina hides her blood
stained handkerchief and Adolfo lies to her telling her he apologized to Manuel
and that the duel was cancelled. -
Manuel tells
Matilde that he won't leave her unprotected financially if he dies as she hugs
him; then she begs him again to cancel the duel. He kisses her passionately,
and walks away as Ignacia tries to console Matilde who’s screaming his name,
over and over, and crying. She runs upstairs into the baby’s room and tells her
aunt that neither man wants to back down and that she did everything to change
their minds but couldn't.
Antonia arrives at
Manuel's house and hears Rosario crying to Silvano. She then asks him who the
man is that Manuel is going to confront; and he tells her to ask Manuel
herself. If he wants her to know, he’ll tell her.
Humberto tells
Augusta that if both men agreed to a duel there's nothing to stop it. Antonia
mistreats Rosario when she doesn't answer her questions; Rosario screams she
doesn’t owe her any explanation. Antonia starts to shake Rosario when Manuel
enters and tells her to apologize! “Apologize..... to my “mother,” and both she
and Damiana are shocked. She apologizes to Rosario and Manuel forces her to use
the word, “señora” respectfully; then Rosario leaves with the promise that
he’ll come back to her when he’s done with these two. Manuel tells Antonia that
she has to understand that she can no longer live with him any longer much less
now that his mother is living in his house. She’s worried they won’t see each
other anymore, but he says they will, just not like this and not there. She
asks him who he's confronting and he says Adolfo Solís. He’s pained as she
exclaims, “your wife’s lover?” She cries and falls all over him. She asks him
what would happen if something happened to him? He says she'll be financially
set and thanks her for caring for him but tells her to leave.
Prudencia tells
Matilde she has to eat or she won't have any milk for her baby. Matilde
comments that her son hasn't been baptized as her aunt asks her what she's
going to name him. She says she always thought she and Manuel would pick the
baby's name. Matilde tells her aunt that she feels like putting herself in the
middle of both men when the duel begins and her aunt tells her she's crazy, to
think of her son. Matilde asks her to go to the church and to pray with her.
Rosario talks to Silvano and he suggests she look for Manuel. He’s alone in his
office and she has the right as his mother to seek him out.
Antonia and
Damiana then talk about Adolfo being the señora’s lover, the same man passing
himself off as the administrator, Felipe Santamaria.
Rosario goes to Manuel's
office and when they stare at each other, Manuel breaks down crying, calls her
“mother” and hugs her. At church Matilde promises God that if Manuel doesn't
die, she'll give him her son and if Manuel wants she'll never see him again.
Rosario tells Manuel
that Matilde's son is his and that she knows because he looks exactly like him
when he was born; she held both of them immediately after they were born. He
says he believes her but says he doesn't want to talk about Matilde. When she
insists he says he can't forgive her. It hurts too much. He can’t stand the
thought of looking at her as it brings up the thought of her frolicking in her
lover’s arms. Rosario reminds him she loves him now; she loved the one but then
she came to love him and this other never happened. She asks him what he's
going to do and he says he's going to give his son his name and probably bring
him home but not now, when he’s older as is his right; and then he tells her to
leave it at that.
The doctor tells
Adolfo that Catalina's disease has progressed and that her death is imminent
and to make her as comfortable as possible. He closes his eyes in pain and
sorrow.
Manuel makes his
will and tells Sixto that Matilde's son will have his name. Half of his fortune
is for his mother and the other half for his son when he turns 18; but in the
meantime, he will receive a monthly pension and money for his studies; and he
leaves a pension for Antonia until she marries. Sixto asks him about Matilde
and he says that Catalina is very ill and that she will probably die soon, and
Adolfo will be a widower and Matilde will marry him. Sixto tells him he could
be wrong. He thinks about it and tells him he'll leave it to Sixto’s discretion
as his executor.
Humberto and Renato talk about the duel when they overhear
Yves spreading the news at the club. Ramon orders Benitez (Jose Antonio Ferral)
to investigate Manuel.
Rosario cries to
Silvano about losing her son. Adolfo and Manuel await dawn as Matilde prays.
Catalina asks Adolfo where he's going and he says to work and kisses her
goodbye. He says he’s only going in early for maneuvers and she's relieved.
Downstairs, Delfino wishes Adolfo well, offers Adolfo his sword and to assist
him. Adolfo thanks him but says he wants Delfino to stay there with the two
women and to take care of Catalina for him.
Manuel asks for
Silvano. He says goodbye to his mother while Sixto holds his pistols, and tells
her that he’s glad they got to know each other.
Matilde is awake
and Ignacia knocks to tell her Adolfo is waiting downstairs for her. Adolfo
comes to say goodbye to Matilde. She asks him if something's changed but he
says he only came to say goodbye. She begs him not to meet Manuel. He tells her
that he wants her to know that none of this is her fault and that she's only a
victim of his own stubborness. He gives her a telegram and he asks her to send
it to Dona Juana in the event that he dies because Doña Juana will know how to
console Catalina. Then he takes a deep breath, looks deeply into her eyes and
says that, come what may, she was and will always be the love of his life. He
kisses her hands quickly and walks out. Mati calls out to him and then turns
around and cries some more, asking God to help her.
Everyone arrives
at the location of the duel as they await Adolfo when Sixto tells Manuel it's
not to late to change his mind, to accept an apology; it’s just for a few
stolen kisses. Manuel looks away and angrily says they weren't stolen. They
were given!

I forgot. He also
shifted any part of the blame for this stupid duel from Manuel by saying that
he would've done the same thing in his place. I, personally, think that Adolfo
was in Manuel's shoes not too long ago inasfar as feeling betrayed, enraged and
insane with jealousy and he did not do the same thing Manuel is doing now. Some
people said he should've done that from the beginning -- go to San Cayetano,
identify himself and challenge Manuel to a duel -- instead of prolonging the
farce of being an adminstrator. Of course, if that had happened one of them
would be dead and central plot over. Instead he decided to act with a cool head
and he got to know his rival and form a positive opinion of him.
Adolfo's state of
mind changed overnight. When Mati went to see him, he was indignant over the
attitude Manuel took with Mati and the baby and he let her know he would never
have done that. He was so angry that he was ready to rumble and he accepted the
duel. But between then and the next morning something changed. I believe it was
his reaction to the news that Catalina was at death's door -- he was devastated
-- and the ringing of Mati's pleas in his ear. If he shows up to the duel,
he'll do what he did when the alcarde was forcing him to shoot Manuel; he'll
miss on purpose and it'll be upto Manuel to shoot him point blank or not.

Adolfo is on his way to the site of the duel when a shot rings out and he falls
forward onto the horse. Matilde asks Prudencia if the duel could be over and
she suggests they send Ignacia to Manuel's house. Antonia asks Damiana to go to
Manuel's for information. Sixto tells Manuel that maybe Adolfo decided not to
show and he says he doubts it and then asks his friend to take care of his
mother and son and then he hesitates when he mentions Matilde. 'Tell Matilde
what' his friend says, 'tell her that I never stopped loving her'. As Sixto

ignores Damiana's questions. Ignacia sees Manuel enter his house as Rosario
learns her son is fine. Rosario learns what happened to Adolfo as Ignacia tells
Matilde that Manuel is fine and she wonders about Adolfo. Matilde tells Prudencia
she's going to see Catalina. Santiago tells Delfino that someone shot Adolfo
before he got to the scene and tells him to tell Catalina that her husband is
gravely ill. Matilde arrives and she assures them that Manuel isn't capable of
ordering a hit on Adolfo. She suggests they not tell Catalina and wants to talk
to Adolfo so he can tell them what really happened. Antonia learns what
happened to Adolfo as Josefina tells Humberto that people think Manuel sent
someone to kill Adolfo but he says Manuel isn't capable of something like that.
Manuel wants to duel Adolfo when he gets well but Sixto yells at him to put
himself in Adolfo's shoes telling him he would have done the same thing. He
says he probably would have but when he learned she was married he would have
backed off. 'Are you sure?' asks Sixto as he bows his head. Rosario talks to
Silvano when Manuel arrives and tells them he's sending a telegram to his

going to see Solis and he orders Ignacia to get his son and wife's things ready
and that he's sending someone to pick them up. She tells him he can't make her
do anything against her will and he says he can because she's his wife and he's
not going to let her make a fool of him. Renato visits Josefina and apologizes
to her for what he did after she calls him a liar. He offers her some advice on
how to win over Humberto. Manuel orders Silvano to bring his son home and he
tells him he has a visitor. Matilde enters and sees Antonia and asks Manuel if
he wants her to live with his lover and if that's the example he wants to show
his son. He tells her she shouldn't talk and tells her to go to her room. He
tells Antonia to leave and she asks him why he's accepted Matilde back and he
tells her that his decision and again he tells her to leave. He then tells
Matilde not to talk about principles as a father and to explain hers as a
mother when she went to go see Adolfo. She says she wanted to talk to him about
what people are saying he did and that he's a coward. He asks her if she really
believes that and she says she doesn't and begs him to let her go back to her
mother's house but he denies to let her go. Agusta learns that Matilde is at
her huband's place and that she hopes Manuel gives her a good whooping because
everything is her fault. Her sister tells her she's partly to blame and she
tells her to get Matilde's things ready. Adolfo has a fever and is getting
worse. He asks for Matilde and Santiago tells Delfino not to look for her
saying that her husband might not let her come. Rosario asks Matilde what she
wanted was to reconcile with Manuel but she says this wasn't the way she hoped.

time. She tells him that he wrote Father Urbano so he can baptize his son and
she's happy to learn he's finally accepted him. Humberto tells Renato that he
doesn't believe Manuel is capable of such a cowardly act. Benito informs Ramon

he took her to live in his home. He asks his friend what to do and he tells him
to do whatever is best for him, but that he needs to make that decision on his
own. Rosario tells Matilde how Manuel finally accepted her as his mother when
Leonora interrupts them telling her that Delfino is looking for her. He tells
her that Adolfo wants her to tell Catalina what happened to him and Rosario
begs her not to go. Yves visits Adolfo and hears him calling for Matilde when
Santiago arrives. He asks him the reason for the duel but Santiago denies to
tell him anything. Matilde gives instructions to Rosario about how to tell
Catalina what happened and to send Dona Juana a telegram. Ramon visits Frisco

and she asks him if he's going to get mad. She then tells him it was Delfino
and that he wanted her to tell Catalina what happened to Adolfo and he asks why
her. 'I'm her only friend', she answers. 'Oh, so that's what you call someone
who is seeing another woman's husband' he says arrogantly. She tells him she's
not seeing Adolfo and to believe whatever he wants because she doesn't care
anymore and leaves but he calls her back and asks why she send her mother
instead. She says she offered because she knows what it's like to see a woman

Matilde is up to anything and then asks for Catalina and tells her not to go

#50 - Catalina tells Margarita that
she feels bad for Matilde when Delfino asks how Adolfo is and he says he'll
stay when Catalina tells him the doctor told her she can't do anything and to
go home and rest. In his cell Manuel asks why he got into that mess, all over a
woman that is not worth it. He continues saying his godfather was right, money
made him vain when he desired a distinguished lady to marry knowing her class
were full of rotten and immoral parasites and says his head hurts when Renato
and Humberto arrive and and tell him that Ramon told them that Adolfo hasn't
signed anything due to his state and that he did say his name but didn't see
who shot him. Renato says that Ramon is going to talk to Adolfo to retract his
story but Manuel says he doesn't want to owe his rival anything. Humberto tells
him to put aside his pride but Manuel says he would rather stay in prison being
an innocent man than owe his wife's lover anything. An angry Humberto tells him
they aren't lovers and Manuel grabs him and tells him he doesn't know anything
and Renato has to separate them. Matilde arrives home and Rosario tells her she
gave the baby some tea and he went to sleep. She says she didn't mean to take
so long and and knows her son is hungry. Rosario asks her if she saw Adolfo and
she says he woke up for a second but wasn't able to talk to him. She informs
her that Manuel has been arrested and she says she was present when the
soldiers took him. She tells her that Manuel doesn't want her to go the
hospital and that he doesn't care for anything or anyone but his pride.
Humberto tells Agusta and Prudencia what Manuel said about Matilde and
Prudencia explodes toward Manuel as Agusta begs Renato not to tell Ramon what he
said about her daughter. Agusta tells Humberto that his wife was exhibitioning
herself when she went with Matilde. Adolfo awakens and asks Delfino if Matilde
had been there and he says both she and his wife had been there. Delfino asks
him if he saw who shot him and he says he didn't and he tells him he heard
Sixto tell Matilde that it was Silvano. He tells him he doesn't believe that
Manuel didn't send him to shoot him. Adolfo asks him if she's sure and he says
he just told him so. Humberto gets after Josefina for going with Matilde to the
hospital and that she did wrong. She tries to defend herself and he thanks her
but tells her it was still wrong. She says that she wants to get to know his
family and he asks her if she loves him and when she says she does he hugs her.
The next morning Pilar tells Ramon to get Adolfo to retract his story and that
she's going to visit Matilde and he orders her not to when Renato arrives. She
tells him that she doesn't care what people are saying, that Matilde is her
friend. Ramon orders his wife to do what he says and follow his orders. Renato
asks him if he thinks Manuel is guilty then why is he trying to help him and he
says it has nothing to do with what he thinks. Pilar says he's being unfair as
Renato asks why Ramon wants to help Manuel. Sixto arrives at the prison and
tells Manuel that his lawyer is on the case. He tells him to tell Silvano to
run away saying that Adolfo might finger him and he'll take the blame for him
because no matter what the argument is they're going to blame him anyway. He
says he wants Silvano to take care of his mother and that she's suffered too
much to be alone. He denies to see Matilde and tells him that when his
godfather arrive to baptize his son even if he isn't present. His friend tells
him that he could be free by then and he says he knows Adolfo is not going to
let go of this opportunity. Matilde tells Rosario that her son ate but that she
going to need a wet nurse because she's not producing enough milk. Rosario says
it's because of all the problems. Matilde asks Rosario if Sixto has arrives so
she can send Manuel clothes and food and tells her that she shouldn't have
married Manuel because all she's brought him is disgrace. She tells her not to
say that because they have a son. She reiterates that it's all her fault and
that he's not going to forgive her and she doesn't want to live like that.
Ramon waits for Frisco as Humberto, Renato and Sixto wait for news on Manuel's
case. Santiago arrives and Frisco tells him to grab the document on his desk as
Ramon asks him what the document is. Catalina tends to Adolfo when Frisco
arrives. Sixto tells Manuel that Frisco is meeting with Adolfo and he blames
Matilde and says he should have killed her when he found out the truth. Sixto
tells him to come to his senses now that he has a mother and son to take care
of. Manuel orders Sixto not to say Silvano shot Adolfo. Ramon and Frisco fight
over what to do with Manuel. Both give their arguments to Adolfo but he denies
to sign the document saying that Manuel is a good person and that he can't
blame an innocent man. Ramon informs all that Manuel will soon be free and
Sixto gives him the news. He smile at the news but wonders if Adolfo did it for
Ramon or Matilde. He asks him if Matilde has come by and he says he should be
grategul as he says he wants to talk to Adolfo. Matilde tells Rosario that she
promised God that she would give her son to Manuel if he lived and her
mother-in-law begs her not to do it. Matilde reminds her that she did it and
she says it's true but it's a pain you never get over. Matilde tells her she
did it so he can have a better life. She tells her that it was the priest who
raised Manuel and not his father. She says her son is good but is full of anger
and rancor because he didn't grow up with her love and affection therefore she
shouldn't give up her child. Manuel is set free. Rosario tells Matilde that
Manuel will forgive and not to abandon her child. She tells her that she can't
live under those condition and that she has needs. She apologizes to Rosario as
she tells her not to be embarrased talking to her because she's known many men.
Rosario confesses to Matilde what she went through and that she worked in a
brothel. She explains why she never returned to see Manuel. She asks her if
there was any man she was in love with and she says that there was and that he
treated her with respect and loved her. Matilde asks why they never married and
she answers saying that women like her never marry and that he had a wife and a
family. Catalina is feeding Adolfo when he tells Delfino he didn't see who shot
him and Catalina tells him to respect her husband's decision and did what his
conscious told him to do despite knowing that Silvano shot him. Manuel arrives
and says he wants to talk to Adolfo alone and Delfino denies to leave saying
Manuel might hurt him. Adolfo tells him not to stay and he leaves with
Catalina. Manuel asks Adolfo is he did it for Matilde and he says he didn't and
if she returned he didn't see her. He asks him if he was pressured by Ramon and
he says no one pressured him because he didn't see the shooter and despite
people saying he sent someone to shoot him he wouldn't do anything like that.
'Why?' Manuel asks. Adolfo: Don't forget I
spent some time in San Cayetano and I got to know you. Manuel: Of course I
haven't forgotten while I gave you my friendship you seduced my wife behind my
back and you suceeded didn't you? A:How I wish I could say it was true, that
Matilde was mine, and that you're not her baby's father. I want you to suffer
like I did when I saw her all dressed up in a wedding dress and crying she told
me you had bought her. M: Did you sleep with her yes or no? A: No. Manuel sits
down. A: It wasn't for lack of opportunities, it's because she's a decent
woman. M: A married woman who lets another man fondle her is not decent. A:
Fondling? That's how you judge what he had together. Just so you can know my
esteemed Manuel Fuentes-Guerra our love was profound, pure and real. If she
would have said yes I would have taken her with me to love her and adore her,
not caring that another man had already fondled her. M: That man had all the
rights and you didn't. A:You don't consider that right by signing a paper or
kneeling in front of an altar, it comes from your soul, your heart. You're full
of so much rancor and if you don't want to ruin your life than forget her. M:
My life is ruined and it's all your fault. Understand that Matilde and I would
have been very happy if you hadn't interfered. A: I say the same thing Manuel, I
say the same thing. Manuel gets up and leaves.
Ramon orders Benitez to keep surveillance
on Manuel. Humberto tells Agusta that Manuel is free and she tells him to tell
people the duel was about a game of cards. Prudencia is against it and Humberto
agrees with his aunt and that people will soon forget what happened. Josefina

his bath and meets Josefina. He excuses himself and Rosario tells Matilde what
happened. Manuel thinks of Adolfo's words. Josefina falls asleep when no one
remembers she's there and then goes home. Matilde learns that Manuel wants to
eat in his room and that Silvano is missing. Matilde tells Rosario that Manuel
hasn't spoken a word to her and that he hasn't seen his son and that she's
leaving the following day and go far away where Manuel can't find them because
she's tired of his scorn and humiliations. Rosario goes to see her son and asks
him if he's seen his son and that his wife is worried. She must feel guilty he
says. Rosario says it's her fault that he has so much anger since he didn't
grow up with her care and affection. He breaks down and says that he's afraid
of not being able to forgive his wife and always wonder if she's telling the
truth or not. She tells him that they need each other and to think what will
happen if she disappeared and he asks if that's what she really wants and if
she told her she wanted to leave.

Matilde really wants to leave and Rosario says that if he doesn't get his act together
she might. She asks him if that's what he wants for Matilde to leave and he
says no. She continues telling him that he's instructed, educated and
intelligent and to do something. He answers telling her that when a man is hurt
he doesn't listen to reason and that his insticts dominate and when jealousy
enters your blood no reasoning can get them out and that intelligence has
nothing to do with it. She tells him to do something or his life will be hell
along with his wife's and son's. Adolfo tells Delfino that Manuel is
unfortunate because he's suffering. Delfino asks him if he feels sorry for him
and he says that he doesn't know but if he would have met him under other
circumstances he would have gotten along with him. He asks him if that means
he's forgotten Matilde and he answers that you can never forget a big love like
that and Delfino says that they have each gone their own ways and for them to
ever be together again will be tough. Matilde can't sleep and goes looking for
Manuel. Rosario sees her and wishes for the best. She's about to leave when she
enters his room and doesn't see him when he asks what she wants. She tells him
that she's tired of his mistreatment and that he has no right to treat her like
that. 'How do you want me to treat you' he asks. 'With love and respect and to
sleep with you morning, afternoon and evening'. 'There was a time you did' she
says She tells him she can't live that way and to let her go home. She
continues telling him that she's desperate and that she knows she hurt him and
that she regrets it saying that at the time she was angry and asks him what to
do so he can forgive her so things can return to normal. He tells her he talked
to Adolfo and asks her why she never told him that she loved him when he gave
her so many opportunities to do so. She says she was a coward and that her
mother told her she had to marry a rich man and that she ran off Adolfo when he
went to go talk to her father because he was poor. 'Why didn't you talk to your
father' he asks. 'I didn't want to cause him any problems and when you appeared
the plan against Adolfo was already put into play and you know the rest of the
story' she responds. He asks her if she ever thought of his feelings and that
if she knew that he was in love with her yes or no. Rosario prays for her loved
ones. Manuel tells Matilde that he should have let her go the day of the
wedding because his life has been hell ever since and she says hers also first

believe her and she asks him if he can't see how desperate she is and that she
can't live that way knowing he despises her. She continues telling him that she
needs him, loves him and to make love to her. She asks him for another chance
and kisses him. She stops trying to tell him something but he tells her not to
say anything and makes love to her. Josefina and Humberto talk about Manuel and

money. He thanks her and starts to caress her but stops when she says she wants
a child and he says someday and leaves. The next morning Manuel leaves his home

duel is off and he says it's back on when he recovers. Delfino tells him it's a
good idea because he can kill him when Agusta arrives and asks him to tell
people the duel was about a game of cards. Before he agrees to it he asks her
if she was behind the trap against him and she denies it and when he insists he
tells not to dare say it was Manuel because despite the fact that he can't
stand him he's not that vile. He says he'll do it for Matilde who doesn't
derserve what people are saying about her and because she doesn't deserve a
mother like her. Offended, she thanks him and leaves. Prudencia congratulates
Matilde on her reconciliation, but she tells her aunt that she thinks Manuel

head so he can react and then asks for Silvano. Matilde tells Manuel of
Amadeo's visit and that he's returning later that evening and then asks about

the most is their son. 'A son we never talk about and that I don't see' he
says. He tells her not to cry as she says that their son is not to blame for
their problems. He offers a truce to get along and treat each other with
respect. She says she wants the same and he tells her to but clothes for her,
the baby and his mother if it's no problem . When Father Urbano tells Manuel
he's stubborn he thinks he's talking about the duel and the priest tells him
they're prohibited by the Catholic church. He learns that the duel was against
Adolfo and he says that Matilde and Catalina getting along shows they have
moved on and so should he. He tells him that he and his wife just made an
agreement and he says he promised to protect her and love her. 'I desire her
father, isn't that enough'? he says. He tells him that when Adolfo recovers the
duel is back on, but the priest says he prohibits it. Renato asks Pilar if

she's indifferent towards her but greets Prudencia. She says she wants to talk
to her in private. The police see Manuel arrive home as Juana talks to Matilde
and tells her she knows everything about her and Adolfo and asks her if she
loves him or her husband. She tells her that her questioning is out of line but
Juana answers her that at her age she's out of patience. She asks why she's
there and she says she doesn't want the duel to happen. Matilde says she
doesn't want the duel to happen because she loves her husband and doesn't want anything
to happen to Adolfo either. Juana asks her if she thinks Manuel would cancel
the duel if she did him a favor. Manuel asks Prudencia what Juana wants. Juana
is explaining to Matilde what she knows when Manuel arrives and she offers him
a chance to cancel the duel. She asks him if he had anything to do with
Adolfo's imprisonment and he denies it. She says she's willing to do him a
favor. He tells her he's not a violent man but Adolfo offended him. She tells
him he offended Adolfo first and he defends himself telling her they told him
Matilde was single and available. She tells him to reason and not to think of
vengeance and to think of his family. He tells her that people are complex and
sometimes they're taken down the wrong path. She tells him she's going to do
him a favor despite him not cancelling the duel. She tells him that Frisco told
her the secret police have him under surveillance because they think he's a spy
for the rebels. Matilde asks him if it's true. Juana says that Bandera is worse
than Alvarez and that it doesn't matter to her if it's true or not. Juana tries
once again to change Manuel's mind and calls him egotistical. Manuel sees her
off and notices the police watching him. Manuel ignores his wife's relatives
and then tells his wife he has to warn Amadeo and tells Tomas to see if someone
is in the alley. Manuel excuses himself from his godfather and they go to his
room where he gets a gun as Matilde asks him why he sold Amadeo livestock. He
says that her father sympathized with the rebels and she tells him that times
are different and it's dangerous. He asks her if she would feel free if
something happened to him. She tells him not to say that and hugs him. Tomas
arrives and tells him there's a drunk in the alley. 'Is he drunk or pretending
to be drunk'? he asks. 'I can't tell the difference' Tomas answers. Matilde
asks him what they are going to do and he tells her to remain calm and kisses
her. Benitez gets ready for the showdown as Ramon goes home. Manuel doesn't
want Matilde to go look for Amadeo and she says she's the only one that knows
what he looks like. He tells her and the priest to go out the front way as she
tells him she's happy to be helping him. The priest tells them they have to go.
The police see her and Urbano leave but decide not to follow them. Manuel tells
Agusta a fib and she tells him she needs to talk to him in private. He says his
mother will stay but she excuses herself saying she's going to check the baby.
Agusta tells him to say that the duel was about a card game. Matilde worries
about Manuel's predicament. Manuel tells Agusta that if she knows that she's
the main reason for all of their problems. She tells him that if she knew all
that was going to happen including the death of her husband she would have cut
her tongue out before letting Matilde marry him. Matilde wonders why Amadeo
hasn't shown up as the priest hides her when he sees civil soldiers running by.
Manuel grows impatient and decides to go look for his godfather and wife as
they decide to return home by a different route. The police follow Manuel as
Benitez arrives. Dona Juana tells Catalina that she saw Manuel and that if he's
grateful he'll cancel the duel. The police go after Manuel. Agusta asks for an
explanation and Matilde tells her the truth. The police sorround Manuel and a
mystery person. When he comes into the light he sees it's Silvano who asks him
to forgive him and Benitez is angry that it was Manuel's worker and not Amadeo.
Manuel tells Silvano that everything has been cleared up. Matilde asks for
Silvano and Manuel tells says he's drunk but is okay and he asks for her mother
and aunt and she tells him they went home. He asks for his mother and she went
to sleep because she was tired and so is she as he hugs her. He asks her if
she's going to sleep with him that night and she tells him that Leonora offered
to stay with Manuelito for the night and he kisses her. Agusta calls Manuel
crazy and that she regrets marrying her daughter to him when Humberto appears
and asks where they have been. Pilar sees Benitez arrive and she hears his
conversation with Ramon. Benitez tells Ramon that Corona never appeared and
Ramon believes that someone tipped Manuel off. Manuel explains to Matilde that
he's on the side of the people because they fight for their families. He also
tells her that the people of Alvarez are like the people of San Cayetano and
tells her not to worry. He thanks her for helping him and asks her if she
really cares for him. She tells him that he's more important than anyone one in
the world and loves him more than she ever thought she could love because he's
good and noble and cares about people and when he doesn't look at her or smile
at her she feels dead inside. She loves him for being her son's father and that
his prescence makes her feel safe and protected. She tells him she didn't know
him and that's why she wanted to leave him and because he provoked her mother's
greed. She says that when she learned what happened to Adolfo she thought he
was in a way responsible and hated him. He tells her that both made big
mistakes that thay have had to pay. 'But that's all behind us, right'? she
asks. 'Yes' he answers and kisses her. Ramon wants Pilar to be checked by a
doctor as he wonders why she hasn't had any more children and then forces himself
on her. A young boy arrives at Manuel's house with a letter and the police ask
him who it's from. Rosario tells Manuel that Matilde has run out of milk
because of all the problems and he asks her if it's reproach against him when
Tomas gives him the letter. Manuel tells Matilde that Amadeo wasn't able to
make it and says he's going to leave a letter to Tomas to give him because they
are returning to San Cayetano after the baptism. She asks him if that means
he's cancelling the duel.

Manuel asks him if he saw him and he says Delfino heard when Sixto told Matilde that Silvano had shot him. He asks him why he didn't say anything and he answers saying that he doesn't think he sent him. 'You did for Matilde' he snaps. Adolfo says he did it because he's not convinced he's guilty. He asks him if he's surprised he's not so vile. Manuel says it doesn't dissolve what he did, but wants to know if they can cancel the duel.

She asks him that if being with him for several months doesn't give her any rights and that if he's forgiven Matilde.

Renato asks Pilar if Ramon excites her and she says she respects him and cares for him. She asks him why he hasn't married and he says for three reasons. The first one he has nothing to offer his new wife since he has no money or a job. The second one is that every married couple he knows fight and have problems. The third one he tells her he'll leave it for her to figure it out. Benitez tells Ramon about the boy taking a letter to Manuel's house and that Pilar was also there.

towards her. He asks what she talked to Matilde about and she tells him they
are leaving for San Cayetano after the baptism. Manuel thanks Matilde for his
son. She asks him if he has any other friends than Sixto and Silvano and he
says de does in the capital but they're people that wouldn't associate with her
class. She reminds him that she has never looked down on anyone and he tells
her she learned that from her father. She laments her father's absence and he
tells her that if he had known the outcome of what he told her father he would
have never said anything. She tells him it's no one fault, it was God's doing.

take a bath and rest and wait for Manuel. Damiana tells Antonia that Matilde
mistreated her and she calls her nana a butt in and she defends herself. Her
nana tells her to keep in touch with Marie to learn about Manuel and his wife
and Antonia asks her if she knows that Manuel is in love with his wife. Damiana
tells her to enjoy her youth and accept Manuel's offer or she'll grow old and
peniless like her. Manuel's surprised at Matilde's greeting and she tells him
his aunt's daughter has arrived. Rosario feels uncomfortable with Marie's
presence and Matilde asks her if she's embarrased and she admits she is. She
tells her mother-in-law that she is Manuel's mother and deserves respect. Marie
tells Manuel and Father Urbano about her trip and that she had to leave her nana
in another town since she got ill. Manuel offers to bring her as Marie asks him
if he's letting her stay because it's a problem for him or his wife she'll go
back to France. He welcomes her and says she can stay all the time she wants.
Manuel tells Matilde that Marie is staying with them and she becomes jealous.
Later he asks her what it is that bothers her that Marie is staying with them.
She says it doesn't bother her and that it's his obligation since she's family
but she tells him she didn't like the way she was flirting with him. He tells
her he has only eyes for her and that she has inside all the things a man would
desire, tenderness, passion, sweetness and strength and they kiss. Yves meets
Damiana and learns Marie is in town and staying at Manuel's. Ramon tells
Benitez of Manuel's plans and he offers to get a false witness. The next
morning Manuel tells Matilde to tell Marie the truth since lying gets people
nowhere. Matilde tells him she's worried about his mother and he asks her if
she's worried about his mother or herself. She tells him that if he would have
had a different upbringing she would have probably never have met him or fallen
in love with him. He asks her if she loves him and she re-assures him and they
kiss. Marie looks at a coin collection when Matilde and Manuel arrive and he
tells her he's an illegitimate child and that his father recognized him on his
deathbed. Dona Juana talks to Adolfo and he asks her what she meant in
reference to Manuel that everyone had their price. She tells him about the
police keeping surveillance on him and she shouldn't have told Manuel anything.
She tells him what she wanted to avoid was either Matilde or Catalina in
becoming widows. He says that Manuel is a traitor and she says he isn't and

cares for those she loves. He wonders why the rebel never appeared. Frisco is
getting weary of Ramon's actions. Yves visits Marie and when he sees her he

necklace. Marie explains to Yves why she came to town and he promises to keep
her secret. Agusta confesses to Matilde that Manuel had been sending her money
and that she had forgotten to tell her. Prudencia tells her not to lie and to
admit that she kept it. Matilde becomes angry and tells her she's not going to put
in a good word for her with Manuel. She tells her that it was Manuel's

Manuel he's being generous and he tells him his wife is the generous one giving
him his first-born son. He also learns that Agusta has kept the money. Yves
tells Marie about Manuel and Matilde. She in the meantime argues with her
mother and tells her she's not going to help her with Manuel. Humberto tells
Renato to tell him anything that Ramon has on Manuel. Rosario talks to Manuel
and he asks her how they lived when Hilario passed away. He asks her if it's
true what Sixto told him that they were seamstress. He asks if that's the money
they lived on and if that her mother didn't give her any and his mother
reiterates that the money they earned was the only money they had. Yves asks
Antonia and Damiana to dinner. Benitez tells Ramon that Yves and a young lady
visited Manuel. Matilde cries when Manuel gives her the necklace and he tells
her that he had never seen a woman react like she did. She tells him about her
mother and he says he knows she kept the money he sent her. She tells him that
she thought he didn't want anything to do with her and he tells her that they
would have avoided a lot of problems if they would have talked the last time he
was in town. 'My mother said you would come and you never did' he says. 'Yes I
did it was you that didn't want to see me, you even sent me that horrible
message, she tells him. 'What message;, says a puzzled Manuel. 'That if I
wanted a name for my child to ask Adolfo Solis' says Matilde to a shocked
Manuel.

#55 - Matilde tells Manuel she
was hurt at his message and he asks her who told her that. She tells him it was
Antonia and that she also wrote him a letter to try to explain the child was
his. She tries to explain that he was her first and that she doesn't know how
to fake being with a man and tells him he couldn't believe she would. He tells
her that at one time he did believe it and swears that he never told Antonia to
tell her that message and that he never got any letter from her when they were
separated. He wonders if it got lost and she says that maybe Anotnia tore it
up. He tells her that they all made mistakes and promises her that he'll never
doubt her again. She tells him she doesn't know what else to do for him to
believe that she loves him that it's to the point that it hurts. He says it
hurts him to and hugs her. Matilde swears at Antonia as Rosario tries to tell
her that it's over between Antonia and Manuel and she asks her if she's sure
and she says she is. Matilde tells her that she's angry and indignant.
'Jealous' Rosario asks. 'Yes, jealous' she answers. Sixto asks Manuel if he's
going to confront Antonia and he says he was at first when Matilde told him but
that she's not the only one to blame but regrets getting involved with her and
that it was his biggest mistake thinking he could forget his wife by sleeping
with her. Sixto changes subjects and asks him about Marie and that's she's a
flirt and that his wife is jealous. His friend makes fun of him saying that's
the worst part of being married. Antonia tells Damiana that there's something
about Yves she doesn't like. Sixto meets Marie and Manuel is puzzled when she
tells him not to worry about her companion telling him she sent her back to
France. Yves asks Damiana of Manuel and learns he's a doctor and Antonia tells
him he only appeared days before Joaquin's death. She also tells him that no
one knew that he even existed. Damiana tells Antonia that Manuel's relatives
have rights and she tells her she's never going to do anything against Manuel.
Damiana tells Antonia to accept the house since she fulfilled her duties as a
'wife' when she was with Manuel. Santiago visits with Adolfo and he asks his
friend about Manuel and says he is being watched and that he's suspected as
being sympathetic to the rebels and says if caught he'll be executed. Josefina
and Prudencia visit Matilde and meet Marie. Ramon asks Yves if he has a
relationship with Manuel and he reminds him that he's related to him and so is
the woman he visited. Matilde thanks Josefina for the christening outfit and
sees her out as Prudencia suggests to Marie that she find someone and marry
soon and not live off of relatives' generosity. Later she tells Matilde to find
a way to get rid of her guest. She also asks her if Manuel got mad for what her
mother did and she says he didn't say anything at least not to her. Ramon
wonders if Solis told Manuel about the plan to arrest Amadeo as a favor to
Matilde. Antonia becomes furious when she learns of the baptism and the party.
Manuel tells Silvano why he cancelled the duel and wonders if Adolfo knows how
sick Catalina is when he sees Antonia arrive and tells him she accepts his
offer to buy her a house and he asks her why she told his wife things he didn't
say and tear up her letters. Matilde looks for Manuel as Antonia tells him she
did it because he was going to commit a mistake in reconciling with her like he
has. He angrily tells her that she has no right to judge him. 'She controls you
and does what she wants with you' she tells him. He responds saying she doesn't
know what she's saying and to keep her opinion to herself. She reminds him that
he acted like a real man when he told Hilario what kind a daughter he had and
he tells her to remain quiet or he's going to forget she's a woman. He tells
her that his wife is worth everything to him. 'You settle for so little' she
responds. 'If I had settled for so little I would have stayed with you' he
barks. She sees Matilde and tells Manuel she loves him and kisses him. Matilde
asks what is going on and he pushes her away. Manuel tells her he's going to
explain and she says 'Explain what to accept what I just saw from the woman who
has done me such harm and has mistreated your mother'? He sees Marie and tells
her he'll explain later. She goes to her room as he escorts Anotnia out.
Matilde tells Rosario to take her son somewhere else when Manuel tells her to
open the door or he's going to knock it down. She opens it and asks her husband
why Antonia kissed him and he asks her if she pushed Adolfo away when he kissed
her. She asks him if that's the way things are going to be he with his lover
and her swallowing it. He assures her that they are no longer together and that
he broke it off with her when they reconciled and that she never meant anything
to him. She asks him why she was there and he says to apologize to her and his
mother and she tells him she doesn't believe him. Antonia gloats to Damiana for
what she just did. She tells her she did wrong because it would compromise the
house that Manuel wants to give her. She tells her she would prefer to see her
rival suffer than to have the house. She insults her rival and says she's not
finished. Manuel tells Sixto that Antonia agreed to accept the house and says
he want things to return to normal when he returns home to San Cayetano. He
also learns the rumors about him and Adolfo and that the duel was about a card
game. Prudencia tells Agusta that if Manuel didn't get mad at her it's because
he's a good person. Matilde learns that Marie went out again alone with Yves as
he tells her to make a friendship with Antonia. He then tells her all he knows
about Manuel's arrival before Joaquin's death. They're interrupted by a public
hanging of a man. Rosario tries to re-assure Matilde that her son has nothing
to do with Antonia and that she probably kissed him to make her mad and she
succeeded. Marie talks to Damiana about Manuel. Delfino tells Adolfo to forget
about Matilde when Catalina arrives and starts to become ill. Matilde gets a
letter from her aunt when Manuel arrives and she tells him she wants to make

son as they are both uneasy. Marie looks through Manuel's things and sees the
will when Rosario arrives and she asks her questions concerning Joaquin. Manuel

because he's acting up. Manuel checks his son and carries him saying it's

Matilde can't believe what Antonia just
told her when Renato interrupts them. Matilde tells him that if Manuel is going
to buy her a home that means he's still seeing her. Renato tells her he doesn't
believe it and tries to calm her down. Renato tells her that he's not
justifying Manuel but says that society accepts a man to have an affair and
since was a long one with Antonia he feels obligated to take care of her
future. He continues saying that he's not going to side with Antonia but Manuel
responded to her and now he feels he has to take care of her. 'What about my
feelings' she asks him 'don't they count'. 'Of course they do, but that's the
way it is'. Manuel tells Father Urbano about his meeting with Amadeo. He asks
him if he has problems with his wife and if it's because of Adolfo. He asks him
if she's jealous of his cousin and he answers 'No of Antonia'. 'I told you that
you were making a mistake getting involved with Antonia' the priest tells him.
Matilde tells Renato that Manuel told her once that men and women were alike.
He tells her that Manuel was being nice at saying that but that reality is
something different. She says that she doesn't want her husband to have a
lover, buy her a house or think of her when he's making love to her. He tells
her not to believe Antonia because for a man it's more profound to make love
with the woman who reaches his soul and that woman for Manuel is her. He hugs
her and tries to console her. Antonia tells Damiana she's not accepting the
house. Matilde tells her aunt about Manuel buying Antonia a house and she
blurts it out to her sister. Agusta tells her daughter that most married men
have mistresses and to accept it. She continues saying that if a man has it's
an error but if a woman has an affair she puts her honor in danger. She tells
her she never slept with Adolfo. 'It's not what you did it's what people think
you did and that's what's more important'. Prudencia agrees with Agusta and
tell her she has to accept it. Agusta makes her feel guilty when she mentions
Hilario. Manuel plays with his son when Rosario arrives and he asks her if
Matilde told her what happened. She tells him his wife was hurt. 'Don't you
think I was hurt when I learned she kissed Adolfo' he asks. 'So you did it to
get revenge on her'? she asks. 'No, my intention was never to hurt, but the
errors we both committed have come back over and over and those are the ones
that won't let us live in peace' he confesses. Renato tells Humberto what
happened to his sister and he says he knows a way to help the couple. Manuel
wonders why Matilde hasn't returned when he receives a message from Humberto
saying he needs to talk to him. Yves tells Ramon about his doubts concerning
Manuel as he tells Urbano and Marie that he wants to return to San Cayetano.
Marie learns of his generosity and he gives her permission to invite Yves to
the baptism. Yves tells Ramon he wants him to meet Marie and thinks Manuel is
an impostor. Matilde arrives and Manuel asks her why she's so nervous and she
says it's because of the baptism and she ignores why her brother wants to talk
with him. Prudencia invites Juana to the baptism but she says it wouldn't be
prudent to attend. The sisters argue with Ignacia making fun of them. Renato
tells Manuel about the meeting between Antonia and Matilde and he offers to buy
the house under his name to avoid any problems but he denies to. Humberto tells
Manuel to tell Antonia not to bother Matilde again or he'll take away the
house. Manuel arrives home and wants to talk to Matilde. She asks him if her
brother wanted money and he says they talked about other things. He tells her
that they need to clear things up and explains to her why he's buying Antonia a
house. He tells her that when she left San Cayetano hewas hurt. She reminds him
that he threw her out, that she didn't leave. He tells her that he knows she
wasn't unfaithful now he didn't know that back then so he turned to Antonia not
to hurt her but to forget her. Silvano tells Rosario he wants to slap Antonia
but she tells him to stay out of it or Manuel will this time not forgive him.
Manuel says that he used Antonia and she didn't mean anything to him since he
was never able to forget her he asks his wife to understand and accept it. She
denies to and says she feels bad that he's going to give her the same love as
he's giving her. He tells her that's not true and that he needs her as much as
she needs him. He begs her to accept his decision and she tells him her

sleeping wife and son. The next morning he learns from Sixto that Antonia never
arrived for the meeting and asks his friend to go see her because if he goes he

tell him that he can't buy her like he bought Matilde. Antonia plans her next
move. Adolfo reports to duty as Matilde is surprised at how many guest her
mother invited. Manuel learns of Antonia's decision and his friend tells him to
beware of a woman scorned. Rosario thanks her son for her dress as he tells

#58 - Benitez informs Ramon of
Amadeo's arrest and he congratulates him. The next morning Juana tells Adolfo
he can't leave and he says he feels bad but being a soldier he has to follow
orders. She tells him she's going to talk to Prisco but he prohibits her from
doing it. He thanks her for all she’s done to this point but says he cannot let
her. She tells him to think of his wife and he tells her that if things get
worse to send him a telegram and he'll be home in a week. She tells him that a
week could be too late. She suspiciously asks him if what he really wants is not
to be home when his wife dies. He says that isn't true, that he’d give his life
to cure her but doesn't want to depend on influence denied to others. She
apologizes and says the war is destroying families but she promises not to talk
to Prisco.
Damiana leaves a letter for Manuel with
Tomas. Manuel tells Matilde that they will be leaving in a couple of days when
Tomas gives her the letter. Manuel then reads the letter and tells her it's
from Antonia, that she wants to talk to him and she apologizes to Matilde. He
asks her to accompany him but she refuses to; she says she can’t believe he
means to see Antonia again, but he says he is; so she gets angry and tells him
to do what he wants and then storms out of the room.
Damiana sees Manuel leave and gives a young
boy a letter to give to Tomas for Matilde. She reads it and can't believe what
it says, that Antonia is having Manuel's child and if she wants the details she
should come right away to the park. Matilde leaves the house and Damiana
follows her as Manuel arrives to see Antonia. Antonia messes her hair up, and
she has purposely stayed in her robe to look distraught. Manuel notices how
dowdy she looks and mentions he thought they’d be speaking in the lobby of the
hotel. Antonia says she doesn’t have a reputation to maintain now and she
feigns depression. Then he asks her why she told Matilde about the house; she
says she got enraged when she saw Matilde on the street and she can't believe
he took Matilde back after she was so unfaithful to him. Matilde’s mocked him,
yet the only one to have been hurt or to be pitied in all of this has been
herself. He tells her that the problems between him and his wife are not to be
discussed with third parties. He’s sorry she’s so upset and wishes it were
otherwise but he cannot help that. She tells him she wants to stay friends with
him and still see him from time to time. He tells her it's not possible but if
she needs anything to talk to Sixto. He's about to leave but she grabs him and
begs him not to.
Matilde arrives at the park and is shocked
to see Adolfo and he is also shocked at seeing her. He mentions this might be
some trap. She wonders what he means and he says accidental meetings like this
are not something he appreciates. HE says he received a note and was supposed
to meet somebody there for information. She says she was to also and at this
place. He asks if it said something about him but she says no, about something
personal to do with her husband. She asks what kind of information was he there
fore and he lies and says it’s to do with his man, Delfino. He laughs at how
they now talk like strangers to each other. They ask each other about their
families and he asks her if she's happy because he isn't. She tells him she is
and he tells her that she doesn't look like she is. Damiana sees them, smiles
and leaves.
Antonia and Manuel keep conversing as does
Matilde and Adolfo. Adolfo says that he knows that they may never see each
other again and he tells her that if she ever needs anything to ask or send him
a message. On purpose, Damiana arrives at the hotel, checks to hear if Manuel
is still inside the room, then rushes in, acts like she doesn’t see him and
says that she just saw Matilde and that man! Manuel becomes furious and
“forces” the name of the man from her: Damiana saw his wife and Adolfo Solis
together. Manuel storms out of the hotel room and heads back to the house.
Matilde tells her maid to tell anyone who asks that they went to her parents’
house but didn’t find anyone home. Rosario and Silvano catch Matilde in that
lie as she rushes back inside the house to find her mother and aunt are there
with the baby. Augusta notices that Matilde is nervous.
Damiana and Antonia wonder what Manuel is
going to do, maybe finally leave his wife. Antonia says perhaps he’ll kill her
this time. Then she says, "but I don’t want him to go to jail!"
Damiana tells her men never go to jail for a crime of honor and Antonia smiles
evilly. Adolfo tells Delfino he found Matilde there but the other person never
showed, and that it was odd that the same thing happened to Matilde and that
both he and Matilde were sent to the same place in the same manner.
Ramon asks Prisco if he can keep Amadeo at
the military base.They argue about whether he's a military or a civil detainee
but Prisco decides it doesn't really matter and that it's okay to incarcerate
him at the fort.
Manuel arrives at home, obviously upset as
he rushes past his mother and curtly tells Marie to wait till later to talk to
him. He stops short of barging in on the others and tells Matilde they need to
talk. At first she lies and Manuel calls her on it. She confesses that she got
a letter telling her that Antonia was having his child and to go to the park to
get the proof. He says it was really a letter from Solis and she says no. He
pushes her down in the chair and screams he’s tired of her tricks and lies. She
says that if she saw Adolfo it was a coincidence because he was waiting there
for some person, but Manuel doesn't believe her and asks if she’d done this to
get back at him for seeing Antonia. She yells back no so he demands to see the
letter. When he reads it he says it’s a pack of lies and first suggests Solis
could have written it as a way to meet her there. She answers that he’s
incapable of that. So he says the handwriting is half-way illegible and
suggests that it looks like she could have written it herself. She says she’s
tired of his insults and mistrust. He repeats she’s not his lover and she’s not
having a baby. She asks if he denies he slept with Antonia and Manuel tells her
he knows how not to get a woman pregnant, explains how so, and that if Antonia
is pregnant it's not his. She tells him to believe what he wants because after
all he's the one having a child with his lover. He says either way he’s still
not convinced and asks again for an explanation. She says there is no other and
he storms out of the house. Rosario tries to talk to Matilde while she is
discussing the news bout Antonia with her mother and aunt. Augusta signals for
Matilde to send her away and so Matilde politely tells Rosario she’ll talk to
her in a bit.
Manuel rushes in a snit over to Adolfo’s
house and angrily tells the person following him from the (not so) secret
police to leave him alone and just back off because he's on a personal mission.
Then Manuel sees Adolfo come out of his house and tells him that he canceled
the duel because of Catalina’s illness, but if he ever bothers his wife again
by God he will kill him. Adolfo tells Manuel he didn’t bother with his wife.
Manuel says he doesn’t believe that meeting in the park was accidental and
Adolfo says he doesn’t either; somebody had manipulated them in order that it
should happen that way. Someone sent him a letter and was to meet him there at
the park. Manuel asks who he was waiting for and Adolfo says he doesn’t know
because his letter wasn’t signed either and neither was his wife’s. Manuel
wants to know what the letter was about and then demands to see the letter.
Adolfo refuses to show the letter because it had information that concerned him
alone. Manuel denies it exists and Adolfo says yes it does and asks who says
they saw them there and Manuel refuses to tell him. Adolfo quips how
interesting that someone that knows the two of them just “happened” to see them
together right then. They talk about the handwriting; Mauel says his letter was
done by someone who barely knew how to write so Adolfo says his wasn’t so they
were not written by the same person. Either way, he never contacted her nor
asked her for a meeting there and nothing untoward happened at the park. Manuel
says he's going to do his own investigating and Adolfo tells him to go right
ahead.
Sixto asks Manuel why he doesn't believe
Adolfo since his explanation seems logical. He says that he wants to believe
that if Matilde fell in love with Solis it was because she was innocent and not
because he deserved it. They decide to go to an old cantina they used to
frequent back when they were both struggling and Manuel was a poorer but
happier guy.
Rosario tells Matilde that she believes
that Antonia could be behind the letters and assures her that there are ways a
woman can avoid getting pregnant; she tells her of sponges and vinegar among
other things that can be used and Matilde is shocked.
Marie meets with Antonia and Damiana. She
says she just left and the household was in an uproar again. She says they’re
always angry about something in that household. Antonia smiles at herself.
Damiana suggests that it’s because theirs was an arranged marriage.
Adolfo sees when Amadeo is brought to the
military base. Santiago says that one has caused many soldiers’ deaths. Adolfo
answers they’ve killed as many of theirs also. Then a soldier tells Adolfo
about the old lady that asked for his address the day before and describes her
to him.
Benitez interrogates Amadeo, tells him he
wants the names of all the people who’ve been supplying the rebels and then has
him beaten up.

#59 - Matilde asks Marie if she's seen Manuel and she asks her if they're having problems. Rosario asks Father Urbano for his help and he says someone is involved that's causing trouble. Silvano thinks it's Adolfo but Rosario and the priest say it's Antonia or Damiana. Catalina asks Adolfo if he thinks her parents will come to see her if she writes to them. He tells her that if Juana intervenes they will come. Juana meets Frisco at the park and tells him she wanted to see him there so no one will tell Adolfo that she talked to him and begs him not to send Adolfo away since Catalina is near death. He agrees after much resistance. Matilde plays with her son as she and Rosario wonder if Manuel went to see Adolfo or is with Sixto. Manuel is in a bar with Sixto when his friend tells him that El Jardin de la Perfecta is out of the way and no one just strolls by casually and Manuel wonders if Damiana's arrival wasn't casual and tells his friend that Antonia didn't want him to leave. Sixto tells him that he believes it was a twisted plan thought up by Antonia and Damiana. Manuel tells him that the handwriting wasn't Antonia's and that Adolfo didn't want to show him the letter. Sixto tells him that the handwriting can be faked and if Solis didn't show him the letter it's because they're not precisely friends. Sixto tells Manuel that he becomes irrational when Adolfo's name is mentioned and he doesn't thinks before he acts. He reminds him that his wife was going to run off with her old suitor. Sixto tells him that when Matilde showed him the letter and explained the situation he should have.... Manuel interrupts him and says that his wife should have waited for him to ask him about the pregnancy and not gone to the place where the letter said. 'Maybe she would have asked you if you had stayed at home instead of going to see Antonia'. his friend tells him. He tells him he doesn't understand why he went to go see her in the first place and he says that he's trying to find a reasonable explanation for the bad things she's done. 'You're kind in saying the bad things she's done because if she wrote those letters I prefer to call them perverse'. 'Are you going home' Sixto asks. 'No, I'm going to see Antonia'. he says. Damiana asks Antonia who she's writing to and she says her accountant when Manuel arrives asks her if she's writing another little note like the other ones she wrote. She denies it and tells him that Matilde put ideas in his head. He tells her not to mention his wife because the letters contained private and personal issues and that he saw both letter and that even though the handwritings are different he's sure she wrote one and Damiana wrote the other. Then she held him there until Damiana returned saying that she had seen Matilde and Adolfo. She continues to deny it and he says she has panic written all over her face and is acting guilty. He tells her he's not going to do anything to her but now realizes that all the guilt he felt was not worth it. 'You were right when you said your father did the best to raise a good person, pity he didn't succeed. He leaves and she hopes he goes to hell. Benitez and Ramon visit Amadeo and lie to him telling him Manuel told him he sold him livestock. Amadero denies knowing Manuel as Benitez threatens to hurt his family. Benitez wants to question Manuel and Matilde and Ramon reminds him that she is a general's daughter and he tells him that those things are put aside in order to learn the truth. Adolfo talks to Delfino about Amadeo Corona and of the mysterious lady who sent him the letter and who asked for him at the military base and reminds his friend he has no relatives. Tomas talks to Father Urbano when Manuel arrives home. Urbano:What evil has gotten inside of you? Manuel:The evils of jealousy and insecurity father. U: Since when do you have those kinds of thougths? M:Since I became rich, before I didn't have any money, a family or affection, for my friends yes, but now I'm surrounded by everything a man desires, riches, respect and people willing to do anything for you and now a wife, a mother and a son and then I ask myself do they love me for me what I am or what I represent? U:I don't think you doubt the love from your mother, your son, Sixto and Silvano, your problem is Matilde and her family. M:I don't care about her family I care about her. When I first asked for her in marriage I never had any doubt in my capabilitites to win her over but when the story of Adolfo came afloat knowing she wanted to escape with him and learning of her lies have made me lose confidence in myself and that's where the jealousy and the doubts come from. U:But you know what you are and what you're worth. M:Yes, but does she. Would she have accepted me being a simple doctor, a nobody right? U:Why not didn't she want to marry Adolfo being a simple soldier with no fortune? M:That's true. M:That shows you that Matilde doesn't care about money. M:That's in Adolfo's case. U:I know what you are going to say that she loved him but she now loves you everyone sees it, everyone knows it except for you. If you don't remedy those jealous streaks you're going to make your life and your marriage a living hell. Now tell me is Antonia having your child. M:No. U:Are you sure? M:I'm sure. U:Then who sent Matilde the letter. M: I really believe it was Antonia. Rosario asks Manuel when he arrived home and tells him Matilde didn't want to eat and that his wife didn't lie to him. He says he knows but that he sometimes gets hot-tempered and loses it. She re-assures him that his wife loves him and that in her life she has known many women and you know when they are lying to you and Matilde isn't lying and to make up with her. She then becomes nervous when he tells her that he wants to know about her past when they return to San Cayetano. Manuel enters his wife's room, blows out the candles and she awakens. Manuel:I've told you not to leave the candle lit. Matilde:It wasn't my intention to fall asleep. Where were you all day? Manuel:I want you to forgive me. Matilde:Why? Manuel:Because I'm a fool and a brute that has to have others open his eyes to understand things. I believe you. Matilde:Really? Manuel:Really, Matilde it might seem improper to say this, but you're the most important thingto me. I love my mother and my son, but you are you. If I believed in such things I would believe that it was witchcraft. Matilde:No, what happens is that maybe we were made for each other. I Love you too. I swear on my son that what happened with Adolfo is over. Manuel:I know my life. I talked to Adolfo and Antonia and though she didn't admit it I know the plan was done by her and Damiana. Matilde:What I want is for you to believe in me and not have to ask others. Manuel: You're right and I understnad. Matilde:I'm not good at explaining myself, but...Manuel: What? Matilde:I got married to you out of disillusion and because you were going to help my family. Little by little I started falling in love with you and now you're everything to me, my substance, my support and my companion. When I see you glad, I'm happy and when I see you angry I worry. Manuel:I ask you for forgiveness. I don't have a bad attitude, well I didn't before but I've felt insecure because of all the things that have happened between us. I don't want to lose you. Matilde:I don't want to lose you either. I want your affection, your love, your attention and though my mother says that all husbands have a lover. (He shakes his head no.) I don't want to share you. Manuel:I told you that Anotnia never meant anything to me. Matilde:But you keep seeing her. Manuel: I felt responsible for her but not anymore. She's a bad woman who has hurt us with fury and has caused grief and I finally realized that I can't compromise what's more important and that's you and my son, so I can't do it for someone who doesn't deserve it. They kiss. Damiana sees Yves and he learns Antonia's traveling alone to the capital. Matilde tells Manuel if Marie can stay behind and he says not alone. He tells her she has nothing to be jealous about as he tells her they will soon be leaving. Silvano asks Manuel if Antonia caused his problems and he says she did. He notices that he is no longer being watched. 'It's one of two things he says 'they either killed Amadeo or they caught him.

Frisco becomes angry when he learns that Benitez wants to question Matilde. He warns him that the military has no business in questioning Amadeo and Frisco tells him to go to hell. Frisco puts Adolfo on the case of Amadeo Corona and tells him to have him admit he's a soldier therefore he can be under military protection. Adolfo and Frisco admit to sway the investigation to protect Matilde. Sixto warns Manuel of Renato and he tells him he's apolitical and has no interest other than monetary.

Adolfo visits Amadeo and tells him that Manuel is a good man. Amadeo tells him if he's such a good man why is he accusing him of buying livestock from him when it's not true.

gets a letter from Yves. Agusta and Prudencia visit Juana. Matilde asks Manuel
why they're not leaving yet and he tells her he didn't find the administrator
but it gives them a chance to go out together and then asks for his son. Agusta
accuses Adolfo of sending the letter to Matilde and Juana tells her that if
Adolfo and her daughter saw each other it was a coincidence. She says the he
did it because he's still in love with Matilde and Catalina overhears her.
Juana promises to talk to Adolfo as Catalina cries her eyes out. After seeing
her goddaughter Juana realizes that she overheard what Agusta said. Humberto

want Matilde to know. Frisco congratulates Adolfo and puts him in charge of the
investigation. He tells him he doesn't know anything about law and he tells him
to learn but that others are going to do the work and report to him. He

tells him that they need Matilde's declaration and Ramon agrees. Renato visits

Tuesday, Jan. 25 // from Televisa (and Alta & marta i)
--If I've made any errors let me
know.--
Amadeo
confesses to Adolfo that he is a soldier, essentially, in the insurrectionary
army. Manuel tells Marie they're not leaving yet when she gets a letter from
Yves asking her to meet him at 5 that afternoon. –
Augusta
and Prudencia visit Juana to make her tell Adolfo to stop bothering her
daughter. --Matilde asks Manuel why they're not leaving yet and he tells her he
didn't find them an administrator yet, but it gives them a chance to go out together
and then asks for his son.
Adolfo
isn’t in so Juana speaks to the two women. Augusta accuses Adolfo of sending a
letter to Matilde in order to rendezvous with her. Juana tells her that if
Adolfo and her daughter saw each other it was a coincidence. Juana tells her
that despite it all she believes there could be another explanation. Augusta
says the he did it because he's still in love with Matilde; Catalina overhears
her and returns to her room, and cries inconsolably. Juana asks for the letter and
who might have written it. Augusta doesn’t have it to show her. So Juana says
without it they’ll get nowhere. They go to leave and Juana promises to talk to
Adolfo. After seeing her goddaughter crying, Juana realizes that she overheard
what Augusta said.
Humberto
tells Josefina the problem Manuel is in. He wishes it were only money but he’s
now become a traitor to the government.
Father
Urbano urges Rosario to tell Manuel the truth about her past when Manuel
arrives back home and tells them all that they're not leaving because he
believes Amadeo, the rebel he sold the cattle to, has been arrested. He tells
Urbano and his mother that he doesn't want Matilde to know.
Adolfo
tells Domingues that Corona was a lieutenant in the rebel army and Prisco
congratulates Adolfo. He puts him in charge of the investigation. Adolfo tells
him he doesn't know anything about law and Prisco tells him to learn, but that
anyway others are going to do the work for him and to report to him. He
explains his reasons. Prisco tells him that although he's not a big fan of
Manuel's he can't stand Ramon Marquez: since Marquez became head of the state’s
secret police he thinks he’s better than everybody and he wants to harm
Fuentes-Guerra. Domingues admits he’s had his problems with women in the past,
but he doesn’t want his reputation sullied by this. He doesn’t want it said
that being able to prevent it he permitted them to shame a lady, particularly
the daughter of their famous and respected general; but he does reiterate that
if Manuel is guilty he should pay. However, Adolfo is to make sure Benitez
doesn’t brutalize Matilde. Adolfo agrees. –
Benitez
tells Ramon that Dominguez jumped out of his skin when he was told they wanted
to question Sra. Fuentes-Guerra. Ramon isn’t eager to have her questioned
either and says they need a solid case against Manuel or the public will turn
against them. They decide that if they confront her, as a weak-willed female
they’ll be able to confound her and she’ll end up by telling them the truth. So
Ramon tells Benitez to do his job and to have Amadeo transferred from the
military base.
Renato
visits his sister. --Matilde asks Rosario about Manuel's behavior and she tells
her nothing is wrong and leaves abruptly to “care for the baby.” --Renato asks
Ramon if he can return to live there because the silliness with Josefina and
Humberto is long over, they’re happily married and all has been forgotten but
he still is paying the price. Still his brother-in-law refuses to have him
back. So Renato offers information in exchange and tells him that Manuel is
nervous concerning a rebel named Amadeo Corona because he's been arrested.
Manuel knows they want him to become involved and he’s afraid they will involve
him. Ramon asks him how he knows he's been arrested. He says it was Humberto
and who knows how he found out. Renato simply is relating what he overheard in
a conversation between Humberto and Manuel. Ramon asks for more information and
Renato offers to get him more. So Renato gets the answer he was looking for.
Adolfo
asks Santiago if Juana has visited Prisco and he says he hasn't seen her. He
tells his friend that he’s uncomfortable as a policeman and if he should find
out that Manuel is guilty, Matilde will never forgive him. At that moment,
Benitez arrives and tells him he's taking Amadeo. Adolfo tells him he confessed
to being a soldier in the rebel army so that means Corona will be under
military protection according to Las Leyes Castrenses/Military Law. Benitez
yells that this was a trick of Domnigues’ and demands to talk to Prisco, but he
is nowhere to be found. Adolfo says he can wait if he’d like, but the General
just left the cuartel. Yves has been standing silently behind them and
watching. After Benitez leaves, Yves asks Santiago if in fact they have Corona
imprisoned there and Santiago says yes. Yves says that his relative, Manuel, is
going to be worried about this. He explains and Adolfo learns Yves is a distant
relative of Manuel's.
Renato
gives Manuel the information he wanted when Silvano tells him that the secret
police are there to see him. Humberto tells him to deny anything. At their
gate, Benitez informs Manuel that Matilde is summoned; and Humberto tells him
he's not letting him take his sister, that he’ll kill him first! He hits
Benitez in the mouth. A scuffle erupts and Renato grabs a gun and shoots it in
the air. Matilde arrives and Manuel explains to her what is going on.
Eventually order returns; Renato explains that indeed Ramon will find out about
this, and as his brother-in-law he will see to it and Benitez leaves.
Back
inside, Manuel tells her and everyone that it’s not so simple. He made a
mistake after selling the cows to Corona by refusing to sell General Dominguez
cattle and telling him he’d sold them all to somebody in Cuba. However, they
investigated and found out he’d never registered for an export permit. So now
they suspect him. Humberto says its such an insult to summons her. She tells
him she'll be willing to testify and Renato tells him he can get him a fake
permit stating he sent cattle to Cuba. Later Matilde tells Rosario she's
nervous because she doesn't know what to say.
Manuel
visits Ramon and is greeted by Pilar who asks him to wait in the office.
Marie
tells Yves the police were at Manuel's and that there was a row in the street.
--Humberto tells Josefina what Benitez wants to do with Matilde. --Yves tells
Marie that there's confusion between Benitez and Adolfo.
Pilar
cries to Manuel, apologizing for not attending her best friend’s baptismal for
their child. Manuel says he know that her husband refused to let her attend
because of his dislike for Manuel. She tells him that Ramon is so different
now. When Ramon arrives with Benitez, Manuel hears them enter the house. Manuel
tells Pilar to stay quiet so they can listen to the discussion. He overhears
what they say about Amadeo and the melee Benitez’s arrival at Manuel’s caused
outside his house. Manuel suddenly appears in Ramon’s office doorway and they
are surprised to see him there. Manuel tells Ramon he's indignant about their
treatment toward Matilde. He says it was especially insulting. This business
doesn't pertain to her. He says they can’t have any proof against him and
certainly anything Corona says is suspect, or they’d have sent the guards to
summons him and take him away to jail instead. He appeals to Ramon with the
long friendship between their two wives, but Marques says that in war this
takes second place. So Manuel tells him he'll declare only if they leave his
wife alone. Ramon verifies he’s doing this voluntarily and Manuel says yes.
He’ll come at 10 A.M. the next morning. So Benitez assures him it’ll only be a
few questions and this should avoid her appearance there.
Then
Yves and Marie appear there at Ramon’s house, on a social visit, and Manuel is surprised
to see them arrive. --Matilde tells Rosario she's going to ask Doña Juana for
help if Humberto gets nowhere with their father’s old friends, but Rosario
tells her not to.
Juana
tells Adolfo about Augusta's visit and tells him she thinks his wife overheard
their conversation and has been distraught over it ever since. He assures her
it was gossip.
After
Manuel leaves, Yves tells Marie to tell Ramon about her suspicions about
Manuel.
Adolfo
tells Juana that he believes Manuel’s ex-mistress, Antonia, is behind his and
Matilde’s seeing each other accidentally in the park. He asks her if she told
Prisco to change his orders and she denies it; so then tells her the content of
the letter. He says the letter said there was information about dealings with a
political prisoner that would compromise Manuel. She says it couldn’t then have
been his mistress. He tells her that men speak about things to their
mistresses.
Ramon
explains he didn’t know she was Manuel’s first cousin and Marie dismisses this
by saying Manuel’s a grown man and is able to think for himself. He offers to
listen then to what she has to say. She acts as if she’s reluctant to begin.
Then, as she talks, Ramon begins looking at Marie in a seductive way, as if
he’s mesmerized; Marie takes notice of his behavior and seems to encourage it.
When she’s finished Marie tells Yves and Ramon that she'll leave it up to the
“gentlemen” and will do what they tell her.
Adolfo
tells Juana about Prisco's plan to prevent Matilde from going in front of the
secret police and sullying the old general’s reputation.
Manuel
arrives home and tells Matilde she should have never married him since he's
jealous and a hideous person. Their marriage has been a disaster. She tells him
she loves him and that she'll help him in any way she can; women always
complain to ourselves and now she won't feel humiliated or complain if she has
to face some rude policemen if they treat her like any other man. He tells her
she's a good person and doesn't deserve her. He's made her suffer so much, but
she tells him that she caused him problems also, that they are now together and
that she's not afraid to be questioned by some rude policeman. He tells her
she's wonderful and kisses her. --Juana tells Adolfo to explain to his wife about
the letters. --Manuel tells Father Urbano that he's going to tell the truth and
the priest reminds him that if he's found guilty he will be executed.

the plan against Manuel but Yves convinces her to continue. He tells her to
take him the will when she is able to get it. Manuel asks Tomas if Marie has
returned. Adolfo tells Catalina about his coincidential meeting with Matilde
and shows her the letter talking about Amadeo Corona. He tells her that Matilde
is a good woman and that they loved each other but it's all in the past.
Matilde has a husband and a son and he's with her and promises her that he'll
never be unfaithful to her. Matilde tells Manuel to talk to Marie about going
out alone. She tells him he looks worried and he says that maybe he shouldn't
have done what he did. She tells she'll lie in order for the police to leave
them alone. He tells her to never forget that he loves her and kisses her. The
next morning Agusta feels down and insults her son-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Prudencia tries to calm her down and she says she feels like that since Hilario
died. Manuel tells Marie not to go out alone and tells her not to tell Matilde
she saw him at Ramon's and asks her why she was there. She says Yves took her
there and then tells him she wants to stay in the city but he denies to leave
her behind. Father Urbano wishes Manuel well as he goes to see his son and his
wife. He plays with his son as he tries to find a way to say goodbye to Matilde
and she senses something is wrong. He also says goodbye to his mother as the
priest tells her everything is fine. Adolfo tells Amadeo that Matilde probably
will have to testify but he denies knowing her or Manuel. Humberto asks him
what he and his wife were talking about but he covers. Adolfo learns how his
fellow soldiers treat the rebel's wives and women. Manuel tells Silvano he'll
find a way out of the situation. Adolfo learns no paperwork has arrived to
transfer the case from the military to the police. Catalina tells Juana that
Adolfo explained everything to her but admits that she's a little jealous of
Matilde but Juana reassures her that Matilde loves Manuel and that Adolfo loves
her. She tells her to take the letter to Prudencia to show Adolfo innocence.
Manuel arrives at the station as his mother and wife worry about him. Benitez
enters his office and Adolfo asks what Manuel is doing there and he tells him
he came voluntarily to declare. Adolfo asks Manuel if it's true and Manuel asks
him 'What's the difference between coming voluntarily or to having no other
choice'. Adolfo tells Manuel he doesn't have to declare anything because Amadeo
Corona's case is under military rule and reminds Benitez that he hasn't
completed the paperwork to have him transferred therefore he has no right to
question Manuel or Matilde. When Benitez tries to brush off what happened
Manuel tells him to go to hell and then looks for Adolfo but he's gone. He
tells Silvano he doesn't want to owe Adolfo anything and then asks Sixto to
transfer power of attorney to his name and asks him and Silvano to take care of
his family. Ramon learns of Adolfo's interference and demands to see Frisco.
Juana visits Prudencia and shows her the letter Adolfo got and also tells her
about Amadeo Corona and to be thankful because Adolfo is helping Matilde and
Manuel despite what Agusta did to him and says nothing but good things about
Adolfo as Prudencia begins to feel guilty. Prudencia tells her sister and says
she must be better when she says she's going to ask Josefina for money and
insults Catalina. Adolfo tells Delfino why he's helping Manuel and it's because
of Matilde. Manuel arrives home and tells Urbano about Adolfo's appearance at
the interrogation as Rosario and Matilde overhear him. Marie listens in as
Manuel says that Adolfo helped him because of Matilde and the priest reminds
him that he saved his life twice when he was in San Cayetano and his mother
reminds him that people change. Matilde tells Manuel that Adolfo can help them
and he admits that Adolfo is a good and noble man and has good intentions but
he can't forget the past. Marie follows them upstairs and listens in. He tells
her he's grateful he intervened but tells her not to insist. He tells her he'll
find a way out of this as Marie listens as Rosario tells Silvano to tell her
what's going on with her son. Marie enters Manuel's office but Leonora sees her.
Prudencia visits Matilde and she tells Manuel what Adolfo's letter said about
Amadeo Corona and he wonders how Antonia knew and he decides to go ask her.
Frisco is ordered to turn over Amadeo Corona.

#61 -
Marianne wants to back out of the plan against Manuel but Yves convinces her to
continue. She doesn’t want to steal the will, but he says it’s only a loan for a
couple of days while Ramon reads through it and decides what to do with it.
Yves says there’s no reason for her timidity when she has crossed the ocean
alone and decided to pass herself off as Marie. Marianne then says she cannot
get out alone probably anymore and he says put it in an envelope and come with
someone to the hotel. He can get it from her then. She finally agrees and he
tells her to take him the will when she is able to get it. Manuel asks Tomas if
Marie has returned and he says yes.
