Valentina.

Valentina.

I'm sorry. I thought that we both wanted to do this, and...

Valentina.

Valentina, believe me. I'm sorry.

We should've talked first or had a drink or something.

Valentina, talk to me, please!

Valentina. What's wrong?

- What's the matter? - I have to go.

There's no... there's no rush, all right?

Let's take our time. We can wait as long as you want.

I'm serious.

I just...

What's wrong?

Valentina.

I... I don't get it. Half an hour ago, we were...

It's like we know each other from way back.

I don't believe in destiny, but running into each other again

in a city of more than 20 million...

You thought I was gonna barge in and take off your clothes?

I'll just make sure destiny doesn't get in the way this time.

I just wanna die!

You lied to us in Cancún.

You vanished into thin air,

and now you're back with some absurd story.

How do we know this is not a setup?

This wasn't my plan.

I wanted to get out of Mexico and call you when I was far away

to tell you who our father was.

It's hard to believe you, Manny.

Can't you read my body language, you witch?

I'm telling you the truth.

- Why would he try to kill you? - Your story is completely unbelievable.

I blackmailed him.

I asked for 200K in exchange for keeping my mouth shut.

I should've known the bastard had other plans.

He told me to go to his house for the money.

Like a fool, I went.

The last thing I remember was feeling like I'd won the lottery.

Then I woke up in a fucking nightmare.

Ah!

I didn't have my phone, and I don't know anyone's number.

Then you felt hopeless, and that's when you remembered your sisters.

Have you no shame at all?

With all that money, I could've gotten the hell out.

So why did you come back?

Because there's a bastard capable of murdering his own daughter.

It's not the first time he's tried to shut someone up to protect himself.

Shh!

Caridad!

Shh.

Valentina!

Valentina, please talk to me. Come on.

What does Federico have to do with all this?

Federico Marroquín, how is he involved?

- Tell me the truth. - Does he know who you are?

Say something.

No.

I used him to get close to his family.

He has a terrible relationship with his father. They barely speak.

Who is Federico Marroquín?

My cousin.

My half brother.

Our half brother.

How do you know him?

FEDERICO I NEED AN EXPLANATION

Federico is Federico with no last name?

What's the matter?

- Did you... - No.

He won't stop calling me.

You need to tell him something.

Tell him anything but the truth.

"I can't explain."

"Please don't come looking for me. Goodbye, Federico."

I swear, girls don't even understand themselves, bro.

It's not just me saying this. That's what women say.

Yeah, but you agree something went wrong?

Mm.

Yeah.

I don't think you have to rack your brains to figure out exactly what it was.

I'm sure she'll get in touch in a couple days.

Is that her?

No. It's Manny's mom.

Hey.

About that cousin of yours, the one who works as a bartender,

is that some kind of code that you guys use to mean something else?

A code?

I don't know. Why?

No way. Seriously, you know nothing?

Nothing.

When I showed Simón my birthmark, he didn't look like he was expecting that.

He doesn't know we exist. Otherwise, we would've met the same fate.

He didn't see me asleep in the car. That's what saved me.

But he did let your mom die.

Why would he do something like that if he didn't know he had a daughter?

For the same reason he killed Matilde's mother.

To silence her.

Just like he silenced Alice.

The foundation that owns the hospital where Caridad's mom is treated

belongs to the Marroquín family.

Simón's mother's name was Eloisa Santisteban.

It's in the email your assistant sent you.

So if what Manny says is true, that means Simón or someone who knew about her

had something to do with her overdose.

Simón is a psychopath.

And it's clear that drugging women is the way he operates.

I can't accept that my mom could be dead. That's not possible.

Makes more sense than her being a singer who didn't wanna see you all these years.

But then who sent all the postcards?

And who did Mamá Ela talk to the other day?

It could've been anyone.

I mean, it's clear this guy has people who help him with his

dirty work.

And while you and your family were sure Dominga was alive,

he knew you would never declare her missing.

She was acting weird, Claudio.

She was in a strange mood today, and she barely spoke to me.

Maybe you should give her some space.

Don't be so intrusive.

Stop asking her about her life all the time.

When she has something to tell you, she will.

Daniel.

Don't you think that the time has come to tell her who her father is?

We can send her information

and make it look like it's not coming from you.

What do you think?

No.

Because knowing Simón Marroquín,

Matilde and her four sisters

are better off not knowing, don't you think?

We would all be safe if I hadn't found out anything.

I told you we should leave it at that, but you insisted at getting to the truth.

So now it's our fault you wanted to make a ton of money, right?

Enough.

What's important now is figuring out what to do with what we know.

First, we should contact my mom.

She's the only one of the five who's alive and sane.

Simón is watching her, waiting for me to show up so he can get rid of her.

There's always someone there, day and night.

What if we go public with the story?

And say we're his illegitimate daughters? That's what you mean?

In this macho country, he'll become a hero.

Mm-mm.

Without any evidence, it would be the word of five women

against that of the future attorney general.

And our mothers would be painted as hustlers who tried to scam him.

And a doe-eyed Simón would throw up his hands in horror

and play the part. He would get the position right there.

And in three years, become president.

So what should we do?

We don't say anything, and we keep a low profile, or what?

That's not fair for any of us.

No.

Simón doesn't know we exist, and we have to take advantage of that.

We're gonna make him pay for everything he's done.

I have a plan.

Mommy!

Mommy! Ah!

If you wanna take a hot shower, you have to get up early.

Breakfast is served at 8:00.

And the kids eat before we do.

Hey, nun...

Manny, enough! Please!

Will you stop calling me nun? My name's Caridad.

I don't go around calling you stripper, do I?

I was just gonna say thank you.

Nun.

Here, have some of this chamomile tea.

We both need it, Valentina.

I can't believe I almost had sex with...

with my brother!

Now we understand why destiny prevented that from happening.

Destiny?

The same destiny that supposedly brought us together.

Sometimes we don't understand the reasons until much later.

Other times never.

And what if it was all a setup?

Maybe we didn't even meet by coincidence?

If he knew he was your brother, you think he'd have tried to have sex with you?

His father is a psychopath, Bautista!

Ours, too, remember.

Manny could be right. Maybe he didn't know, just like us.

I'm not sure.

I don't know. I'm not convinced he's innocent.

What does your heart say?

My heart used to say that between my mom and I,

there weren't any secrets.

I can't believe anything this asshole says now.

Your sister left the convent.

She didn't move to the North Pole.

I know, Pocho, but I'm still worried about Caridad.

That's why you went running to her after the show?

That's because she needed my help.

You're a man. You wouldn't understand.

There he is.

I won't take too much of your time. I just need you to sign some documents.

Ah, well, I'm doing fine.

Thanks a lot for asking.

How are you?

You're like a zombie. You never die.

I see you haven't lost your wonderful sense of humor.

Which I obviously didn't inherit from you.

Little brother, how you doing?

Hm.

Those are just protocol. Documents. Nothing very important.

You're gonna take your name off the foundation?

With Simón's nomination,

the foundation could have its accounts audited.

It's to protect us and the family.

Oh, I see how serious he is about this.

No wonder you're such a good attorney.

A value a playboy who parties all the time wouldn't understand.

Just sign it. Stop clowning around.

Everything's above board. You have my word.

Your word?

I see you definitely inherited the old man's sense of humor.

Family, family, family. Not here.

A congressman.

My friend said they did that to settle the score.

Apparently, Manny owed some money.

Maybe all she wanted was to escape from that life once and for all,

like her friend Nina said.

But why would she leave without saying anything?

I don't know.

I swear, women are really hard to understand.

You shoulda told me, Auntie.

Yeah, I was going to tell you last night when we talked.

But...

Well, I have to go now.

I'll head out with you.

I go down to the market every day to keep myself busy.

And all this over a girl.

Yeah.

She broke up with me, but she didn't even tell me why.

I'm sure she had her reasons, huh?

Sometimes it's better not to know anything, Fede. Believe me.

...who passes the ball directly to Navarro.

Navarro's going upfield.

- Pass. - Gets by Campbell and with space ahead.

- But they're closing in. - Pass.

- Finally, Navarro gets into the area... - Pass.

- ...but it's well-defended. - Son of a bitch.

Navarro finally finds a way through for a deserved equalizer.

He hits the post,

and Suárez is there to nod it in from point-blank range.

Martínez puts the ball back in the box where Navarro volleys in from close range.

Cool move from the Spaniard.

The only problem is, he was at least three yards offside.

This is Pérez.

Federico just left. The lady went to the market.

Okay.

Hi, Susana.

Don't turn around. Don't look at me. You're being watched.

There's a gray car that's parked outside your building every day.

They're waiting for Manny to come to you. That's why she hasn't contacted you.

- What have they done to her? - Don't look at me!

Manny is fine.

She's gonna call you on this phone.

Act normal, and please don't say anything to anyone.

Not Simón, not anyone. Do it for her.

Not sure who he was aiming for,

but Martínez makes it awkward for the team.

Back from Ruiz, and here's Navarro. He's in there again!

Martínez put the ball back in the box where Navarro volleys in from close range.

Cool move from the Spaniard.

The touch was accurate,

and it was a good idea to steer it forward into the path of Suárez.

She gave her the phone. She's on her way back to the convent.

Perfect.

Now we just have to hope Susana gives her daughter a chance.

If Manny is in trouble, she might try to deceive you in some way.

I don't know. Come up with some crazy things to scare you.

- No, I don't think Manny would do that. - Unless she's being threatened.

Hello.

Simón, it's Susana.

I think someone's kidnapped Manny and is holding her for ransom.

I never understood why people ask statues for things.

Does it work?

It isn't the statue.

It's faith.

Your faith.

It's difficult to have faith

when you've been fucked-up your whole life.

You were never curious about

your aunt or your family?

I always thought she was a snob and that she didn't care about her sister.

Those are the reasons I came up with to explain why she had everything

and we were struggling.

Pray to your statue my mom doesn't say anything to Simón.

Because she could screw up our plan.

Or my mom could end up dead.

Trust her.

She's your mother, Manny.

She's still in love with him.

It isn't the first time I've turned to her when I'm in trouble, and she betrays me.

I think someone kidnapped Manny and is holding her for ransom.

It means that the honorable attorney general

was out there screwing his sister-in-law while his wife was pregnant.

- Did someone call you? - No, but...

Susana, tell me if Manny got in touch with you in any way.

Simón, I'll call you back.

- Hello? - Mom, it's me.

Manny, thank goodness! Where are you?

I'll explain later. I need you to listen to me.

Why are you calling me on this phone,

and who was that nun?

Simón tried to kill me.

 Simón?

I found the letter you wrote in the trash can.

I know I'm his daughter.

Manny!

I tried to blackmail him.

Honey, if someone is forcing you to say...

No one is forcing me.

I told him to give me $200,000

in exchange for not telling anyone I was his daughter.

Instead of giving me the money, he ordered someone to kill me.

He withdrew $200,000 from our account, but I didn't know.

Mom, I need you to do exactly as I say.

I can't fuckin' believe it!

Tell me where we're going.

First, we have to make sure you didn't say anything to Simón.

I didn't say anything. I promise you.

Tell me where we're going. Manny didn't mention anything about this.

Manny will explain it to you later. Don't worry.

Can we please go now?

They don't have any security cameras in the damn store.

She must've used another exit. I would've seen her.

- Did you check the whole block? - Yes.

We gotta keep looking, and we'd better find her.

Otherwise, the boss will put your head on the chopping block for this screwup.

- Go on. - Yes, sir.

- Where is my daughter? - Manny's on her way.

Please, have a seat, Susana.

Would you like some tea?

Tell me who you are and how you know Manny.

Tell me now, or I'll leave, and I'll call the police.

We're Manny's sisters.

You think I'm an idiot?

We're half sisters.

We have the same father.

Manny contacted her.

How do you know that?

Susana called me yesterday

saying she thought someone had kidnapped her.

Then I don't know what happened, but, uh,

she said she would call me back, and...

That damn girl contacted her!

Well, if she met her daughter, then she knows everything.

- What do you think she'll do? - How the fuck should I know?

You know her.

Do you think she'd go to the police station and file a report?

No.

No, no. She'd have too much to explain,

and she would put her own daughter at risk.

Take a chance and phone her.

Let her decide who to trust.

You, who have always helped and supported her,

or her daughter, who always disappoints her.

WOMAN OF COURAGE

You designed it yourself?

Yeah. The software I use is not very complicated.

Still, you're very talented, Fede.

It's inspired by your girlfriend, right?

When do I get to meet her?

Don't tell me, Fede!

No! You broke up?

Are you kidding?

What happened in three days?

The worst part is I don't even know why.

We were gonna stay at a hotel,

and I reserved a suite with champagne and flowers.

I called her on the way over to the hotel, and she was excited.

But the moment I entered the room,

she looked at me as if I was some kind of monster.

Then she left. She was about to cry. She didn't even explain why.

Afterward, she sent me a message saying I shouldn't bother to contact her.

Hm.

- Just like that? - Yeah, just like that.

Something happened between our call and the moment I arrived.

I just don't... I don't know. It's like she's afraid to tell me.

Hm.

Whatever it is that went down,

she chose to keep it to herself and let you hate her.

A woman would only do something like that to protect you.

Protect me from what?

That I don't know.

But if I were you, I wouldn't give up so easily.

I'd try to figure it out.

- Come on. Let's play. - Hm.

You ready to lose again?

Don't be so cocky. Just watch me.

Here it goes.

Damn it!

This is a nightmare.

And here I was thinking after all these years that the two of us...

What an asshole!

If it's any consolation, you're not the only one he deceived.

And you're lucky he didn't kill you.

Valentina's mom got off the hook because she died of cancer.

If Simón had something to do with the deaths of your mothers,

then I have to tell my sister she's married to a serial killer.

No, no. Absolutely not. That's too dangerous.

As long as she doesn't know anything, she's safe.

Susana, why did you choose the name Juana Manuela?

After my mom. Why?

I was named Juana after Joan the pope, which is a tarot card.

Me, after Juana Inés de la Cruz.

She was an author. My mom read all her books.

I was named after Juana la Cubana. She was a very famous singer in the '30s.

I was named after Joan of Arc.

So you're all named Juana?

But it's not a coincidence. It's the same with our birthmarks.

It was the universe's way of making sure

we would all find each other at the right moment.

No!

Simón! Simón.

The right moment for what?

To make Simón pay for everything he's done to us.

What happened?

Susana, wha... what happened?

Mom.

You have to help us.

Manny's dead!

Oh God! Somebody help me!

My Manny! My Manny!

- My Manny is dead! No! - Oh, Susi!

We're gonna make him pay for everything he's done.
