Original subtitles

I can't deny that I feel something strong for you.

You have to understand,

Joaquín is the only one who's always been with me.

He doesn't judge me, Mario.

He doesn't judge you,

but he takes advantage of you.

He's never taken advantage of me.

You don't even know him.

I don't need to know him.

See?

You don't even give him the benefit of the doubt, why?

Why? Because...

Because...

Because my feelings for you

don't let me grant him any doubt!

We've both made mistakes.

We've both been impulsive.

But in the end,

maybe we're hanging on to something

that's more trouble than it's worth.

I think we'd be better off breaking up.

Can you hear me?

Hello! One, two.

He's alive!

Tell the firefighters to cut the door.

Help me immobilize him, we have to get him out.

He's waking up but breathing to heavily.

I need the tourniquet, he's bleeding out.

Diana! What's wrong?

Everything OK?

- What's wrong? - I don't know what's wrong.

Diana, you can't keep fainting like that,

you should have that vertigo checked out,

- Diana, are you alright? - Don't worry about me.

- Two, three, up! - Easy.

Let's take him out.

One, two, three.

Pull him up, pull him up. Secure him.

Slow. Careful, careful.

We're almost there.

Come on, let's pull him up.

Let's stabilize.

Malena, don't you hear the phone?

Are you ignoring me?

What's this?

Weren't you working on a Virgin Mary portrait?

When did this portrait of your sister arrive?

This is the portrait I was restoring.

What?

This painting was under the portrait of the Virgin Mary.

But it's your sister.

How could there be a new painting under an old one?

I have no idea.

Seriously?

Are you saying you found your sister's doppelganger

in a 17th century portrait?

Is this guy for real?

For Christ's sake!

Mario...

I don't want to come off as jealous

or make you uncomfortable,

especially after you've helped me,

but I need you to be honest.

Am I bothering you?

- Irene... - Seriously, you can tell me.

You and Diana is really recent

and there are clearly feelings there.

I just want to know

if I'm meddling in a reconciliation.

Look.

Diana and I had to talk some things out,

but we just realized that we're better apart.

So you have nothing to worry about.

I'm not as fragile as you think,

if you don't want me here, I can accept it.

If I wanted you to leave, I'd tell you, but I don't.

Thank you.

What's the urgency?

You need to see it with your own eyes.

What's this?

It's the 17th century portrait.

What? No.

Male, that's Diana.

She's identical.

What? Is this a joke?

I ran all the tests,

it's not a new portrait, it's not a forgery, it's real.

I don't know what to do.

Should I show it to Diana?

What do I do?

I don't know.

Is it really the portrait you were restoring?

Yes.

Maybe before reveling it to your sister,

let's do the tests together again.

Then we'll decide, after seeing the results, OK?

Before telling Diana.

It's unbelievable.

I don't know why you have to butt into my life, Mario.

I can't help it!

It's stronger than me!

Sweetie, you have to forget Don Eduardo.

Any other girl of your class,

engaged to a count,

would be dancing around the house,

picking out exotic flowers,

looking for a way to complement her fiancee.

He's a count, for God's sake!

I understand that right now

we may seem like the worst parents in New Spain,

but you can be sure that your mother and I

only want to give you the best.

You'll be thankful in the long run.

If it weren't for my parents

and your father's parents, we wouldn't have met.

And you wouldn't be here.

We wouldn't be the happy marriage we are now.

- Right, honey? - That's right.

Please don't worry about me,

I'm fine, just a little lost?

Plus, I don't have much of an appetite these days.

You are right, Mother.

I need some distraction.

I feel like going to the market to buy fresh flowers.

That's my princess!

Go ahead, and don't scrimp.

It's not every day you get engaged to a count.

Excuse me, Father, I'll be back.

Miss, I have everything you asked for here.

Thank you so much, as always, Ofe.

My unconditional accomplice and dear friend.

Take care and don't be late,

I'll be waiting.

Thank you.

I'm right here.

I'm here, I'm here.

Just look at you.

You need a bath.

Food, I need to eat.

I brought some cured meat that won't go bad.

Bread, fruit, and some blankets for the cold.

Thank you.

I don't know if it's harder

to live in hiding

or not see you every day.

We'll have to continue like this,

because if you go out, you're dead.

Leonor, Leonor!

Respond, for God's sake!

- Eduardo, are you OK? - Yes.

I'm OK, are you?

The other guards will come to kill you,

- you have to leave. - Leave? Where?

You can't face Otalora and the crown.

Their power is immense.

You have to hide!

Yes.

If we fake your death,

maybe they'll stop looking for you.

You must think I'm like a savage animal.

Don't say that, you haven't eaten for so long.

I have no shame.

A woman like you shouldn't be helping a fugitive,

in a filthy mine like this.

Eduardo was apprehended for adultery.

He has a wife back in Spain.

And your eyes.

They don't look as they used to.

Leonor, tell me I haven't lost you, please.

Maybe I would look at you differently

if you hadn't hid the fact that you were married in Spain.

Who told you that?

So it's true?

I would have liked for you to hear it from me.

How could it be true, Eduardo? This is a nightmare!

- You lied to me! - I have never lied to you.

My love for you is true,

but I hid my marriage from you because I was ashamed.

Ashamed? Of what?

Ashamed that I married a woman I don't love.

And for not being able to contain my love for you,

while I'm a married man.

Why did you do it?

Why did you get married?

My marriage, like yours,

was arranged for business interests.

I would give my life

to go back in time and never have done it!

I should have told you a long time ago,

but I was worried that I would lose you forever.

Forgive me, Leonor.

How can I convince you that you're my only true love?

I would like nothing more than to believe you.

Then believe me, I beg you.

I beg you.

HI, IS EVERYTHING OK? I'M WORRIED. CALL ME, PLEASE.

What's all this?

Hello?

Yes, I'm his mom.

Did something happen to my son?

What?

Gaby, I need your help.

- Go check the 210 in an hour? - Of course, doctor.

And bring me Ms. Hernández's file, please.

- Sure. - Thank you.

Diana!

Finally, I thought I'd have to make an appointment.

Sorry, doctor. What is it?

Don't apologize.

I came to thank you

for your support these past few days.

You haven't missed a single of Irene's appointment,

I'm impressed.

You're efficient and effective.

When you're focused.

On that note, how do you feel?

- I mean... - I feel good, doctor.

I'm fine, thanks for asking.

If you'll excuse me,

- I have to run. - Alright.

Mario, I read the draft you shared with me

and I wanted to thank you.

I really appreciate you mentioning me in the article.

No need to thank me, you do good work, you earned it.

I'd love to contribute more.

If I may, I think if I could study your notes,

I'd understand the process better

and help you more.

I like your initiative.

Take them whenever you want,

the key to my file cabinet is on my desk.

Alright.

Hi, Raquel, this is Diana Salazar.

Could you put me through to Joaquín?

Oh, hi, Diana.

I actually haven't seen him since we closed the office,

I haven't seen him, and he hasn't reported in.

But if he calls, I'll let him know you're looking for him.

Yes, please. Thank you.

The file you asked for, doctor.

- Thank you so much. - Thanks, Gaby.

You won't have to give

my patients' reports to Dr. Salazar.

I'm back.

- Excuse me. - Go ahead.

And thank you,

Mayol told me you did a great job handling my tasks.

However I can help.

I officially relieve you of my duties.

Thank you.

Will he wake up, doctor?

It's impossible to know right now.

He suffered a serious brain injury from the accident.

These next few hours are key.

His recovery will depend

on how his brain reacts to the anti-inflammatories.

Thank you for your honesty, doctor.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Miss, my son is Joaquín Nuñez,

he's in bad shape.

And I'll be honest, I am too.

I don't know how to handle all this.

Could you give me some opioids to help me calm down?

I've taken anxiolytics or opioids.

I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't give you anything,

especially not controlled substances.

Excuse me.

This is the fourth time we've run the test.

The painting is legit.

Yeah, I know.

- See? - Yeah.

Honestly, I don't know what to say, Male.

Didn't Diana say something about...

That she thought you

maybe were related to De Santiagos?

I'm thinking that

maybe that explains everything.

Yes, but being a distant relative

with similar traits

is different from being identical.

I don't know if Diana's ready to see something like this.

Who is?

I think it's time to show her.

Some notes in the margin

are hard to understand,

but I've gotten good

at reading Mario's handwriting.

These notebooks are a goldmine,

but we have to understand exactly what they say.

So...

How much would it cost me

to get an adaptation

of these notebooks?

While you keep me updated

on Dr. Villarreal's research.

We agreed I would just bring these documents,

I did my part.

Think bigger, Gael.

Well, you may think the work I do is banal.

Many people discredit my lab for making cosmetics,

but the broadest and most immediate effects

always arrive through commercial products.

There's a reason I have

the best equipped lab in the country.

Olga, don't do this to me.

We agreed that if I'd get you Mario's notes,

you would finance my research.

And I will.

I'm a woman of my word.

But if you don't help me,

you'll lose out on being part

of the most important patent of the century.

Or is San Telmo going to share

a percentage of his earnings with you?

Maybe some Henrich Labs shares.

Could make you change your mind.

As a shareholder, you could do whatever you want,

finance your research,

or whatever you want.

Like I told you,

restoring this painting

has been a challenge, professionally and personally.

Luckily, you're really good.

And no challenge is too big for you.

Am I right?

Who's the tea for?

For you.

Really?

What you're about to see is shocking.

Some tea would be good.

You're worrying me, guys.

Are you OK, sis?

Diana?

Do you need a chair or...?

Maybe...

Some tea? Tequila?

Say something.

Nurse!

Nurse! Someone!

Something's wrong, please help!

Nurse!

Oh, Lucas, good job with the De Santiagos.

You came off as romantic and boring

when you actually are.

Worry about your own life,

which seems far from that of a friar.

But I suggest you don't get involved in mine, brother.

Watch your words, brother.

What goes around comes around.

My marriage will open doors

to new business with New Spain,

but life is more than interests and favors.

Doesn't the high court give you enough power

to do business and step on those who believe in you?

If you weren't my brother,

I'd drag you before the high court.

Good thing I am.

Had you arrived in Zacatecas a few days earlier...

You could have avoided

that your fiancee lost her maidenhood

to the opportunistic hands of someone

who rumors said she's in love with.

Please, allow me.

- Don't worry. Thank you. - I insist.

Just like this dandelion grew between the tiles,

with nothing more than the rain,

no one to care for it,

that's how I imagine love grows

between two people who are destined for each other.

And there's no avoiding it.

You talk as if destiny were inevitable.

I'm talking about us.

About our hearts, which should be united.

Unless yours belongs to someone else.

His blood pressure is high, doctor, 150/110.

Captopril 100 mg.

Please, do something!

- He's dying. - You can't be here.

He's all I have.

- Please leave the room. - He's all I have.

Take over for me.

Please, do something.

Ma'am, please.

We have stabilized Joaquín.

He's in critical condition.

But we're doing everything we can, trust us.

Go home and try to get some sleep, and rest.

I need you, as the responsible family member,

to be in the best condition

to make important decisions.

Don't say that...

Don't worry, don't worry.

I'll inform you personally immediately of any changes.

Ana, escort the lady, please.

Calm down, I'll call you.

OK. Don't worry.

- Please come with me. - Go.

This is the physical proof

that everything that's happened to me

isn't just dreams or hallucinations.

Diana.

Did you ever find proof

of a connection between you

and the De Santiago family?

I'm thinking that maybe...

If the woman in the painting

is a member of this family...

Like an ancestor.

It would explain the resemblance.

It's like looking in a mirror.

Yeah. That's it!

The blood on the painting!

The pigment I couldn't recognize.

We could run some tests on that blood, see if it matches.

It is highly unlikely that it will work.

But we could try.

We don't lose anything

running a DNA test on the blood from the painting.

Imagine if there's a relation to Diana.

I don't know.

You should've told me we were having a party,

I would've brought some wine.

Hi.

I have to go, excuse me.

- Do you want more tea? - Yes, please.

Bye, Gonza.

Excuse me.

Gonzalo!

We have to talk.

Forgive me, Gael.

But you have to talk to Malena.

Not with me.

I don't think you understand.

You and I have to talk.

Fine. I'm right here.

Big balls for a guy

who's been treating me like an idiot, don't you think?

Coming into my house,

drinking my wine, dining at my table.

All the time knowing

you wanted to take Malena from me, that's bold.

I won't deny it.

I fell in love with Malena, I admit it.

I didn't plan it,

it just happened.

But I won't take her from you.

I can't take her from you.

Because Malena is no one's property.

People aren't others property.

I insist, talk to Malena.

Not me.

I don't want you in my house again, got it?

- Hello. - Hi.

Can I help you?

Is Joaquín here?

He's not here. Who's asking?

I'm Diana Salazar, a friend.

Are you and Joaquín...

Oh, I'm Sylvia, Joaquín's mom.

Come in.

I'm fine here, thank you.

I just came because

I've been looking for him since yesterday.

Do you know where he is?

I need to know,

what you had with Gonzalo was more than just a kiss?

How would that help you, Gael?

Malena, it's important to me, for both of us.

Be honest if you want to save this relationship.

I didn't tell you

because I didn't see the point of hurting you more.

Oh, you did it for my own good.

The last thing I wanted was to hurt you.

But everything was suddenly too much.

Living together, formalizing things...

I talk and talk, and you don't listen.

You don't understand my independence,

and it's a big mess.

I don't understand!

Don't blame it on your fears for sabotaging our relationship.

Be responsible for your actions, at least.

You're right.

Regardless of the complications in our relationship,

I messed up.

I can't say anything except...

I'm sorry.

What do you want me to say?

I'd love to forgive you just like that,

- but it's not that easy. - I know...

I'm going to stay with Diana for a few days at least.

- I think it will be good for us. - What?

Tell me something.

Are you at all interested in saving our relationship?

You're asking me to be sincere.

And sincerely I don't know if I want to stay together.

I'll be with Diana if you need anything.

MENSTRUAL CYCLE DELAY

We've tried all the corresponding medications,

but we can't reduce the inflammation in his brain.

Has his temperature gone down?

Yes, but it's very risky if he stays like this.

Meningitis would be fatal.

If we don't have it under control by tomorrow,

we'll have to perform surgery.

In his current state,

it would be very difficult for him to survive.

It's the last resource we have.

How was your day?

Good.

Mario, I'm sorry.

You have to sleep on the couch in your own house.

I'm so intrusive.

- I told you, it's fine. - It's not to me.

Alright.

I'll be honest.

This pain will last a while.

My mom was the most important thing

in my entire life.

I don't think it's fair for me to stay here.

I think you should have waited

another week before going back to the hospital.

No, on the contrary.

The distraction is good.

Plus, I'm committed to my patients.

And even though I'm thankful for my life with you...

Honestly...

I have to start thinking about going home.

If I stay, you won't be able to get me out of here.

What do you want?

Stay.

I'll stay on one condition.

What is it?

Don't sleep alone on the couch.

Since I realized

that you and I have a shared past,

I haven't been able to get you out of my mind.

Joaquín,

I have no idea if you and I should be together now.

But I feel like the only way

to find out is by trying.

Please.

Give us a chance.

Right now is up to you.

Fight to be here.

Don't leave me.

Please, don't leave me.

Leonor.
