BROKEN ANGEL

That's what I like.

Just like old times.

Humberto!

Honey, I can explain.

Lisette... she...

Yes, I suppose there is a lot to explain.

I'm Lisette, Ivan's mother.

Please be quiet.

Ivan?

The name of the child Humberto and I had.

I said be quiet.

You're marrying her and didn't tell her?

I don't believe it.

Didn't Humberto tell you he had a child with another woman?

Yes?

May I help you?

Mom, Mara came to give me some bad news.

Her aunt's sick. She's in the hospital.

She seemed so distressed that I brought her here to calm her.

A family member?

Is she asking you for money?

I'm leaving.

It was nice to meet you, ma'am.

I'll go see my aunt at the hospital.

Thank you for your concern.

I hope she feels better.

Very well, Arturo.

There'd better be a good explanation for this.

What was that black girl doing here?

Gaspar, please don't scare me and tell me what's wrong.

It's my stomach.

I have to call a doctor or take you to the hospital.

Humberto!

Please help me!

I can't believe you didn't tell her anything.

I'll introduce myself. I'm Lisette Guerrero.

That's enough.

Humberto and I dated...

No, don't you dare! I want to hear her out.

She doesn't know what she's saying.

It seems she knows quite well what she's saying.

Let her go.

Let her go!

Thank you.

Our child, Ivan, was born 18 years ago.

Since then, as you can imagine,

Humberto and I have been connected

by a bond that can never be broken.

What you saw in this office...

Well, I'm sure you've heard the expression old flames die hard.

Let's just say my fire for your future husband hasn't gone out.

Amanda...

Let her go!

Please wait.

Let her go!

You idiot! Come here!

You're crazy!

You're the crazy one for starting all this!

Apologize to me or I swear...

Humberto, it's your father. Come help me.

Your father.

What is it?

Please come.

I don't know what's wrong with him.

I think we have to take him to the hospital.

What's wrong with Grandpa?

He's in terrible pain.

"FUGITIVE MUSICIAN ACCUSED OF CRIME"

The Garcia family?

Yes, I'm looking for the house the Garcia's live in.

I thought it was this one.

I guess I was given the wrong address.

Yes, you're mistaken.

Who lives in this house?

Not the Garcia family.

Of course.

Sorry to have disturbed you. Have a good evening.

Barbara Cano. Why'd she come?

Could she be suspecting Santa?

Very well, Arturo.

I'm waiting for an explanation

to justify what you were doing with a woman of her kind.

Of her kind?

Why were you hugging a woman of color like that?

Of color?

For God's sake, Mom! That's absurd!

Besides, she's just a friend.

I don't even hug my dearest friends like that.

I don't want to see you with that woman ever again.

Is that clear?

Never again.

Mom, it's the 21st Century.

Some things should never have changed.

I'm serious, Arturo.

I don't want to see you near her ever again,

is that understood?

Oh, here's what I came for.

Because of you, I'm not late to go see Violeta's granddaughter.

You lock up the bookstore. I'll see you at home.

Daniela, let go of your grandfather.

You're suffocating him.

It doesn't bother me. She's not suffocating me.

Feeling better then?

Yes.

It was just...

I don't know. A spasm.

Are you sure this is effective and won't leave a trace?

That's great, Grandpa.

I don't like you being in pain.

Are you sure it wasn't something you ate?

Gaspar ate the same thing we all did.

I don't think it was the food.

If you say so then it wasn't the food.

I have to go out.

Call me if anything.

Humberto, don't go out.

What if your father has another crisis?

I have a crisis of my own to resolve.

Call me if you need me.

Besides, George is here.

I'm sure he can resolve any unexpected situations.

Of course. Count on it.

I'll leave my father in your hands.

Paula, can you believe Humberto has a lover and a child?

A lover and a child.

Hi, honey.

He kept his lover a secret and his son...

Santiago...

He just arrived.

I didn't have time to give you a heads up.

He wants to speak to you.

My brother has a son?

Is that what you said? Humberto has a son?

‐What are you still doing here? ‐Waiting for you to apologize.

Quit adding fuel to the fire. It's not in your best interest.

I'm warning you. It could blow up in your face.

Don't you ever lay a finger on me again.

You don't understand...

You're the one who doesn't understand.

I love Amanda and I'm marrying her.

I will not jeopardize my relationship.

Come on!

You can't compare your relationship with her

to your years with me.

You know what? You're right.

It's impossible to compare.

My relationship with you is worthless.

If not seeing you ever again

helps patch things up with Amanda,

then that's how it'll be.

What we have is forever.

What we have doesn't exist.

We have nothing!

We have a son.

That's what you want. Money.

That's why you use Ivan.

To get money and not have to work thanks to me.

You know what, though? It's over.

Disappear or I swear I'll call the cops

and have you removed by force.

What we had ends here.

Don't ever seek me out again.

I have to come up with something new.

Is what you said true?

Yes.

Looks like your brother hid having a lover from us

and hid that he has a child with her.

How'd you find out?

I caught them in an embrace and kissing in your house.

That's not my house.

There's a reason I don't live there.

You're finally seeing Humberto for what he really is.

What are you doing here?

I came to offer my help. I'm worried about you.

What you've got ahead of you won't be easy

if you marry Humberto and he discovers...

By the looks of it, I'm not the only one hiding secrets.

Besides, I don't know if I still want to marry your brother.

What?

What did you say?

Can't you see his having a son changes everything?

Everything.

I'm home.

You'll never be able to forget

if you look at pictures of Felipe all day.

I can't forget.

I can't forgive that he was killed.

I can't!

You're going to have to.

To go on living, you're going to have to.

Don't ever let me down.

Don't leave me alone like your brother did.

Never.

Don't ever say you're giving up on us getting revenge again.

Not now.

Not when you're days from marrying that bastard.

What's with this temper tantrum anyway?

Is it me or are you acting like a jealous woman?

Jealous? Come on!

Quite the opposite.

I had to do all I could in front of Humberto

for him to believe I was jealous.

No, I'm like this because he has a son.

Don't you realize what that means?

I could never do something to Humberto

knowing I'd leave a poor child alone and orphaned.

That's not true.

Humberto's son has a mother, doesn't he?

He won't be alone.

An eye for an eye.

Did they take compassion on you?

Humberto took Willy's father from him.

He's a pig.

He is.

That's why he has to pay.

What's the matter?

Are you having second thoughts?

Are you capitalizing on what you just found out

to call off our plan?

Please use all the hate and disgust you feel for Humberto

and his family.

Destroy them.

We're just a few days from your wedding.

‐Humberto... ‐What is it?

After what happened, he ought to be looking for me

at the fake house in which he thinks I live.

I have to do something.

Hi.

Remember me?

We met at the cemetery.

I'm Santiago. What's your name?

You like music?

Yeah?

Would you like for me to play something?

Yes.

Alright.

I'm going to play my favorite song.

Maybe you'll like it.

It's called Santa.

All set.

I hope you like it.

Put that sax away.

I was going to play something for your son.

He just asked me to.

That's impossible. He doesn't speak.

Give me that.

And please don't touch it again.

I have to call Humberto right away.

What for?

I told him I lived where a client of mine actually lives

so that he wouldn't discover my real home.

A client?

Yes, Amanda's a nurse.

She's got several clients.

One of my clients is very rich and cares a lot about me.

I asked her to help me.

That why when Humberto drops me off or picks me up,

it's to and from that house.

Afterward, I come here.

Darling, I was about to ring the bell to your home.

Open up. We need to talk.

No!

Don't ring the bell. I'm not home.

Where are you?

Tell me so I can come pick you up.

I'm with my parents at their hotel

and I don't want to see you.

Amanda, I'm begging you.

I can explain everything.

You do have a lot to explain, but not tonight.

You know I adore you.

I don't want this to jeopardize our wedding.

I'll call you tomorrow.

And don't you dare wait for me outside my house

or ring the bell and bother the servants.

I love you.

Please tell me what hotel you're at so I can see you.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Besides, I need to think about what you did to me

and deal with the pain of that revelation.

Bye.

You surprise me more and more.

You truly are a woman to be reckoned with.

Coming.

One second.

Hi.

Victoria?

Yes, that's me.

Hi, I'm Lisette Guerrero.

‐Nice to meet you. ‐Your newest tenant.

How exciting. Come in.

‐Make yourself at home. ‐Thank you.

Wow!

It's two rooms, right?

Yes. My son and me.

Ivan, hurry up and come inside.

Let go of that darn phone.

Stop looking at that thing and greet the lady.

Yes, intense stomach pain.

What did you give me to put in his food?

Crushed glass?

Are you sure that can't be detected in an autopsy?

Thanks very much, doctor.

No, don't worry.

I'll let you now if anything new arises with my father‐in‐law.

Have a good evening.

What happened to my father?

He became very ill.

What?

Let go of me. I want to see how he's feeling.

Your father doesn't have much time.

The best thing he can do

is give his children their inheritance now

to avoid all those procedures afterward.

How dare you bring up something like that now?

Convince him to give you that money while he's still living.

The sooner the better.

He listens to you, Barbara.

Do it and we all come out winning.

I'll warn the owner of the house

not to open the door if someone rings the bell.

Better safe than sorry.

Come with me, honey.

And here I was ready to offer my help

when you faced the Canos,

but by the looks of it, you can defend yourself just fine.

You resolved the situation with Humberto

with just a phone call.

Yes.

It's best to let time pass and not argue

when one's all worked up.

I suppose it's unfair to blame someone for lying to you

when you yourself have also been lying to that person.

Right?

Look, I already told you I'd tell your brother the truth

about my son and my reality when it's the right time.

I appreciate your concern, but I'll ask you to leave.

Today's been a long day and...

Don't get married.

Don't marry my brother.

BROKEN ANGEL

Don't say that again.

I've already made up my mind.

What are your real intentions behind marrying Humberto?

Why won't you tell me the truth?

Don't you realize you're disrespecting me again?

I won't stop until you tell me the truth.

You just found out that jerk's cheating on you and has a child

and for reasons I can't begin to understand,

you're willing to forgive him.

You've only known him a few months.

It's not a long‐established relationship.

You can't deny it.

Why do you put up with him lying to you that way?

You can kick me out a thousand times...

But I'll keep coming back until you tell me the truth...

until you see the one you need out of your life is Humberto,

not me.

I don't know how, but you have to stay away from Santiago.

He's asking too many questions.

He could put our plan in jeopardy.

Or are you interested in the Canos' youngest sibling?

Amanda... a smudge?

The dress I got from the store has a smudge!

Take if off right away.

I need to try to clean it.

Oh, Lord, that's exactly what I needed.

Hello?

Hi, good evening.

I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after the fight.

Would you like to come for dinner?

I can make the pasta Bolognese you like so much.

I can't.

I understand.

Arturo, tell me...

Are you aware you might lose me if you keep that stance...

after all we've gone through?

I know.

And I also know I don't deserve someone as nice as you.

I love you.

I love you with all my heart.

Honey, dinner's ready.

That's right, Roberto.

We'll square it away and we'll meet sometime later this week.

Later.

You heard me, right?

Dinner is ready.

Yes, Mom.

Son... I'm so grateful to have a son like you.

You give me a reason to live.

Hello?

Yes, it's me. Lucy.

I got you some really nice pieces.

They're some antique candleholders.

Yeah, they're awesome.

At what time are we meeting?

Okay.

Got it.

See you later.

Bye.

Paula...

Ms. Cecilia. Good morning.

I didn't know you'd be here so early.

You got fired?

Yeah.

Ms. Cecilia saw me putting back the dress you wore last night

and she got really mad.

Besides, I'm sure she noticed the smudge.

What are we going to do now?

We need the money and the clothes.

Oh, Paula...

Don't worry, we'll figure it out.

Where are you?

I'm heading home.

Are you there?

No, I'm on my way to meet with Humberto.

Wish me luck.

Don't worry... we'll figure out a way to resolve this.

See you later.

You can do it, Santa.

Yes, you can.

Glad you're back, boss.

We missed you.

How's your recovery going?

Great.

I'm ready to get back in the saddle.

How are you, gentlemen?

We should celebrate your return and thank the kidney donor.

By the way, do you know who the donor was?

What if we go partying tonight to celebrate my recovery?

Yeah, let's go to the Trebol de Oro.

We'll find a couple of nice chicks.

One that's nice to you and keeps you very happy...

Not like your girlfriend who's always giving you a hard time.

10 PM at my house, is that okay?

Yes, boss. Sure.

Have they hired a new secretary?

Not yet. Can you imagine?

They're looking for a secretary at the Cano Law Office.

Yeah, it's the opportunity we've been waiting for.

Come over as soon as you can.

Do whatever you have to to get hired.

Yeah.

Here I am. Let's talk.

Hey...

Lucy, why are you dressed like that?

I have to go take care of some personal business.

What do you mean?

Don't you have personal business?

I have some personal issues to attend but I won't take long.

Okay, but make it fast.

Hold on... you haven't given me the scoop.

The boss get sick last night?

Yeah.

Darn.

What happened to him?

The food didn't sit right with him?

No, that's impossible.

Everything I cook for Mr. Gaspar is very healthy.

And I'm following the doctor's instructions to a T.

That's weird.

I didn't get sick from the food.

Hi.

Yeah, it's pretty odd.

Go on, girl!

What an awful temper!

Here you go.

What's that?

A card to the best wedding gown store in town.

I talked to them and they're expecting you

so you can choose the one you like most.

Who says I still want to marry you?

Come on, Amanda.

Lisette's very unstable and a troublemaker.

She doesn't know what she's doing or saying.

I made the mistake of getting involved with her long ago.

Don't judge me over something that happened so long ago.

It's obvious there's still some fire left there.

She said it and I saw it.

Trust me, Amanda.

Trust my words and my feelings.

You know I love you

and I want to make you the happiest woman in the world.

I'll prove it to you.

My heart belongs to you.

Tell me everything's alright, please.

I want to hear you say it.

We'll carry on with our plans.

We'll get married.

We'll go on our honeymoon and start our life together.

Excuse me.

Come in, Vicente.

Vicente is our partner here at the firm.

How are you?

Had you met?

Yes. At the engagement party.

Yes. That's right.

Glad to see you again, Amanda.

Humberto, here's what you requested.

I checked it from top to bottom and everything's fine.

Okay, thanks.

I won't interrupt anymore. Excuse me.

Thanks, Vicente.

What's that?

It's nothing.

Where were we?

What do you mean nothing? My name's on it.

What is it?

Routine stuff...

It's a prenuptial agreement I need you to sign.

BROKEN ANGEL

What's this?

Come on, honey.

We both have plenty of assets.

This is my statement.

I just need yours stating your assets.

That way we'll split them before we get married and that's all.

This is how you're trying to fix things between us?

By talking about assets, contracts?

Are you for real?

Why are you so surprised?

It's quite logical.

The idea is that we keep our own possessions in the event...

In the event we get a divorce, right?

Humberto, I'm not marrying you to get a divorce.

I know that.

But I'm a lawyer and as such,

I could tell you, or rather advise you...

But it turns out I came to see my future husband.

I didn't come to see my lawyer or my marriage counselor.

What are you afraid of?

That I want to marry you to take everything from you?

Is that it?

Sure.

That's your fear.

That after we get married, I'll leave you penniless?

May I come in?

Sure, Mara.

Come in.

This is my future wife. Amanda Braun.

Hi, nice to meet you.

This is Mara Lozano.

My business partner.

I'm so glad you two met.

Good morning... I told you to leave that phone alone!

No, give it back.

I'm sorry.

He's driving me nuts with that gadget.

He spends the whole day staring at it as if he were hypnotized.

I thought your son was younger.

He just turned 18 and I had him when I was 10.

No, just kidding.

You know what?

What?

‐I love your house. ‐Thanks.

It's beautiful inside and out.

I slept so well last night.

What's the network name?

What?

Wi‐fi... I can't find a signal.

Oh, Lord, what is he talking about?

I don't know.

Internet.

Oh, internet... I'm sorry, we don't have that.

Is that bad?

No, it's no problem.

It's better that way.

Is there any breakfast left?

I'm starving.

Sure! Let's go to the kitchen.

Thanks.

Should I get you anything for breakfast?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Don't worry about me.

I already finished saying what I had to say.

Okay.

Honey, don't forget to stop by the bridal shop.

They're expecting you.

Pick the one you like most.

It was nice to meet you.

Humberto can't stop saying nice things about you.

Likewise. I hope we meet again.

Sure.

Okay, I'm leaving.

I'll walk you to the door.

And I'll call you to square away the pre‐nuptial agreement.

Hello.

Come in.

Is the Cano Robledo Law Firm?

Bye, honey.

Yes, how can I help you?

I'm here for the secretary position.

Oh, at last.

You have to talk to human resources.

Come with me, please.

I'll introduce you to the lady in charge of that.

‐Wait for me in my office, Mara. ‐Sure.

I'll be back in two minutes.

I'm glad you came.

I like talking face to face with those I do business with.

I thought so.

I've been looking for a partner for a long time

to invest in the cafe I want to open.

So I'm glad you're interested.

Sure, I'm very much interested.

And I'm willing to make a significant investment.

Yeah, but I'm willing to assume my share.

Me too.

Well, it seems we have a deal.

I'll be forever grateful that they got us in touch.

You can count on me, Humberto.

We'll be very successful. Just wait and see.

I'll build the most successful literary café in town.

Well, since you already met Amanda,

maybe we can get together for dinner and meet your husband.

I'm not married.

Your boyfriend, then.

No.

I'm single and without any commitments.

That's because the right person hasn't come your way.

Look at me...

I was fending off for so long and here I am...

about to get married.

I'll ask them to set up a meeting

so we can sign the lease agreement, okay?

I'll be right back.

Please, Santa, use all the hatred and contempt

you feel for Humberto and his family.

Destroy them!

Don't be such a clown.

Why are you checking them out?

They're very expensive ornaments.

They've been at the Cano residence for years.

Besides, they won't notice I grabbed them

because I replaced them with some cheap ones.

Give me my money or they'll find me here.

Thanks, great doing business with you.

I'll look you up next month and bring you more stuff.

Like we've been doing so far, okay?

The Cano's ornaments are going to make me very rich.

Very rich.

Leave already.

Didn't I say I don't want anyone to see me?

You're acting like a rookie.

So?

How does it feel?

It's the least expensive one but it's beautiful.

Do you like it?

That doesn't matter. You look gorgeous.

Besides, you'll be the happiest bride in the world.

Willy's right, you look like a princess.

He'll be speechless when he sees you on your wedding day.

My brother's so lucky.

You look like a real princess, Amanda.

Humberto will be speechless when he sees you on your wedding day

My brother's so lucky.

Come in.

May I help you?

I wanted to thank you for your help.

I just left HR and I'm officially your new secretary.

Great.

Welcome to the Cano and Robledo Law firm.

What's your name again?

Paula Delgado, sir.

Delgado?

Yes. Why?

Is there a problem with my last name?

Tonight?

Sure.

You're my boyfriend.

I want to go on a date like a normal couple.

Are you worried your sister or dad may find out

that your girlfriend works as a maid at your friends' house?

Come on, Lucy.

You know I don't care about that.

Great.

I'll see you tonight at 10. Come pick me up, okay?

Pancho...

Can you come to my office now?

Yes, boss, right away.

I'll try to make it.

No, trying isn't good enough.

I'll see you at ten.

I'll kill him if he doesn't show up.

This is the book you wanted.

Arturo!

Arturo!

Arturo!

Arturo!

Where's my son?

What are you doing here?

Were you following me?

Yes.

I wanted to know how it went with Humberto.

I saw you leave the office and hoped

you'd broken things off with him.

But seeing you dressed like this... you obviously didn't.

I told you what my plans were,

and I'm a woman of my word.

I won't let you marry a man I know very well that you don't.

You don't know what he's really like.

Get out.

I don't want any trouble.

My brother is a jerk.

He'd put his own mother behind bars

if it meant winning a trial.

Do you have any idea

how many innocent people he's put behind bars

just to bolster his reputation?

His name is Humberto Cano.

He's Barbara' s brother, isn't he?

This is it for me.

That man is one of the country's best attorneys.

They call him the "White Shark" because of how ferocious he is.

You're innocent.

You didn't do anything.

I need you to get the best lawyer there is.

Use all of our savings if you need to.

How do I do that?

I'm a nurse. I don't know any lawyers.

Please. I'm begging you.

Do whatever it takes to get me out of here.

We have to appeal.

We need a writ to protect my rights.

We can't allow that sentence to go into effect.

Humberto Cano is heartless.

He has no problem putting an innocent man in jail.

He just wants to be the best lawyer in the state.

It's all in your hands now.

That's why my brother and I don't have a relationship.

I have no respect for a man who has neither feelings nor morals.

That's why I left Marrero years ago and never came back.

Why do you think I'd rather rent a room

than live under the same roof as him?

What's the matter?

It's okay.

It's going to be okay.

I'm here.

I promise I won't leave you alone.

Father.

Is Arturo here?

No.

Where is he?

He left me at the bookstore by myself.

This is the only place he can come without telling me.

Listen, Arturo's 30. He's a grown man.

He can do whatever he wants.

I'm sorry, Father.

I'm the only one who can tell him what to do.

I'm his mother.

He knows I don't like being disobeyed.

I'm sure he does.

You must've told him a thousand times.

Yes, I have.

He's all I've got.

When my oldest son was killed

Arturo swore on his brother's grave to take care of me.

I just want him to keep his promise.

He's all I've got.

He's all I've got left.

Besides, Arturo knows he's not inheriting a dime

until he gives me a grandchild.

It's all for his own good.

I'm taking care of some cafe business, but I'm on hold.

I'll call later. You're my priority.

Thank you.

How do I put this?

What' s the matter?

I've made a decision that will change my life completely.

I need to tell you about it.

Should I be scared?

Well, life goes on and one changes.

We mature, change,

and stop having the same energy...

Are you breaking up with me?

I want to be a father.

In addition to everything else I told you, what I hate most

is people entering my office without knocking.

That can never happen.

Yes, sir.

I'm getting married on Friday.

I'll be out a few days on my honeymoon.

Congratulations.

You must be very happy.

I'm very happy.

That's all for now. I'll see you tomorrow.

Humberto Cano is the bastard that put me here for 30 years.

Don't ever forget that name, sis.

Is there a problem?

No, sir.

And thank you again for this opportunity.

I'll see you first thing tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Paula Delgado.

Relax.

Do you want to tell me what's wrong?

Was it something I said?

No.

I suddenly thought of someone.

Forget it. It's not important.

Of course it is.

I care about everything that has to do with you.

I care a lot.

Why? Why?

I don't know why.

I've cared about you from the moment I laid eyes on you.

That's why I want to prevent you from making a mistake.

The only mistake I'm making is being here... with you.

You're giving me no choice but to play my last card.

I'm risking it all for you.

What do you mean?

You've always done what I asked, right?

What do you need me to do this time?

I want you to dispense our inheritance

while you're still alive.

Would you do that for me?

Don't forget I know a secret that could tarnish

your impeccable reputation as a lawyer.

An innocent man died because of you and I know the truth.

Have you forgotten Willie Delgado?

Say that again and I'll crack your skull, you bastard.

Where's the video?

What are you talking about?

The video of you and Willie Delgado.

What?

How would I know? You kept it.

It's gone.

I don't have it anymore.

There will no wedding unless Amanda signs a prenup.

You'd better not get involved in this.

No signature, no wedding.

That's final.

Humberto wants me to sign a prenup.

You can't sign a prenup.

It'd be against your own interests.

For starters, you don't have any assets.

Humberto mustn't know that.

Secondly, your goal is to destroy him and get his money.

I know, I know.

What do I do?

I don't know, but you can't sign anything.

Humberto must pay in blood for what he's done.
