Original subtitles

It's better to miscarry it now while it's still just cells.

It's more than that though.

It's one of my brother's last embryos.

Yes, and that's precisely why we offered to implant the embryo in your body,

to ensure that we would lose it.

-Yes, but-- -Unless you're changing your mind,

unless you want to have the child that will destroy

our only opportunity to control Huizar Pharmaceuticals.

I think we need to discuss what to do with the second embryo.

Because to be honest,

I don't think I'd want to do this anytime again soon.

Even if that child ends up being born,

according to my research,

he won't even be able to manage his own body,

let alone a corporation.

Come here.

THE SURROGACY

[elevator dings]

-Good morning, sir. -Hello.

PRIVATE SECURITY

Where are you going?

We have an appointment.

-With which doctor? -Uh, Dr. Pimentel.

-Go ahead. -Thank you.

Good morning.

Hello, do you have an appointment?

Hi, yes.

We're here to see Dr. Pimentel.

I can take over from here.

Thank you.

I'll handle this.

Would you tell me the name of the patient, please?

Of course. It should be under my name, Yeni Santillan

-and I'm meeting Dr. Pimentel. -Okay.

I'm his assistant.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

I'm afraid the mother has to be here.

I know, and I'm the baby's mother.

Why don't you have a seat and we'll call you soon?

-Thank you. -No problem.

Have a seat.

Good morning, ladies.

Oh, what a beautiful little girl.

Ah, Mrs. Rodriguez, if you could come with me.

Just go in and welcome.

I'll ask if we're next.

Excuse me, miss, will we have to wait much longer?

Ma'am, it's not up to us, you understand?

It's his assistant.

If you could please take a seat.

We have to wait.

Aw, the baby's sleeping.

[low, tense music]

Ms. Velazquez, please come in.

Oh, let me help you, I'll get it.

[dramatic music]

This way.

-See you again. -Thank you.

It's been a pleasure.

The doctor won't be able to see you.

Excuse me?

Sorry, he has an emergency.

What do you mean an emergency, miss?

We've been sitting right here for hours.

-He's left. -Okay.

Can I reschedule then for another day?

Because we have to get Dr. Pimentel to see my son.

He's a specialist.

Dr. Pimentel told me to tell you the treatment

is very expensive and we don't accept payment plans here.

Who said anything about needing a payment plan, miss?

-[baby coos] -Yes, you're right.

-They're being very rude. -Listen.

I have cash with me, okay?

It's fine, I promise you I'll make it work,

but he has to take care of my son.

He suggests going to the medical center or else the general hospital.

No, under no circumstances are we going to another hospital.

We made an appointment here and expect to see--

Excuse me, Madam, you have to calm down.

Would you explain to me what's going on here, miss?

We made an appointment, did we not?

-Miss, I am talking to you. -Cuca, please.

It's not worth it, let's go.

You should be ashamed, you racists.

They saw you wouldn't have any trouble paying.

They just didn't want to help you, awful.

I know, but I can find someone else.

-[phone rings] -Ah.

Yeni, that's my phone, could you?

Come here, sweet boy.

[phone rings]

Oh, it's the woman next door to the laundromat.

Hello?

Cuca, I have someone here who's interested in buying

the cleaners, but I told her she needed to talk to you.

[dramatic music]

-[office phone rings] -[door squeaks]

I am sorry for the delay, Francisco.

Please make yourself comfortable.

I'm afraid the last patient took more time.

Yeah, yeah, it's okay.

Don't worry, this will be quick.

I'm here to tell you that I am the only one responsible for my daughter.

I understand.

If you're referring to the call to your in-laws--

That's not it, you called to inform them

of my daughter's release before you called me.

In the nursery, I told you this may happen, didn't I?

I find it pretty strange that after spending days in the intensive care ward

that my daughter's suddenly all better.

That was a decision made by the pediatrician who's following her.

As far as I know, she's doing very well.

I am interested in purchasing the laundromat but first,

I'll need to inspect the store and the machines.

Yes, I understand that, only I'm out at the moment.

I should be back there later on though.

Would meeting in a few hours be all right?

Yes, wonderful, thank you.

See you soon.

Hi, I'm so glad that I caught you.

Why is that?

Has the doctor finally agreed to see us?

No, but I used to work with a doctor who's much better.

This is his business card.

Well, then, I guess we'll be giving him a call, yeah?

No, there's no need for that.

I called already,

I asked if he could see you and he agreed to.

We really appreciate this, thanks.

I'm glad I could help.

I didn't want to leave things on such a bad note.

My coworkers aren't so bad, really.

But this place is a chain and we get mistreated

by the people at the top and then that cycle continues.

I apologize.

-It was nice of you to help us. -Thank you.

[Nora] "It is unfortunate that Mrs. Beatriz Padron

of Ochoa chose to disrupt such a sensitive event,

The funeral of our beloved Irene Aviles."

"In a misguided attempt to gain leniency.

We at Huizar Pharmaceuticals deeply regret her desperate actions and assure you

that there is no truth to her claims."

They got exactly what they wanted.

I admit I made a bad call but only

because I was pushed to and now I can't even

leave my house because of all the negative backlash.

It's best to stay in for a few days. Just maintain a very low profile.

[knocking on door]

Give me a second, there's a lot of noise outside.

Somebody's at the door.

Yes?

Police, we have a warrant to search the premises, ma'am.

It's a search.

I want you to make sure that they show you that warrant.

I'm on my way. Don't let them in, I'm coming over.

My lawyer will be here shortly.

Ma'am, your lawyer's presence isn't required.

No, you can't come in yet.

-We have a search warrant. -You can't come in.

[fax machine screeches]

[soft piano music]

When he was young, he also had clubfoot and see?

He's a soccer player now.

We just need you to fill out this form before you see the doctor, please.

Of course.

-Thanks. -Thank you.

[soft electronic music]

[baby coos]

Well, yes, but we've already left.

Sure, talk to you later.

Sonia's angry... well, furious about how they treated you.

She wants us to file a complaint.

-It doesn't matter anymore. -I think it does.

You can't let people treat you that way.

Cuca, I have other things to worry about now.

This form, they want to know the name of the baby.

They need his vaccination card.

And so what's the issue?

We just tell them that you haven't registered the baby yet.

Besides, we have the birth certificate from the hospital, right?

Yes, but we're not sure it's real.

Navarro told me there was no official record of me being hospitalized.

-[door slams] -Ma'am, please let us carry out

the work we've been tasked with.

We have a search warrant, I repeat--

[Marcela] Listen to me, just sit tight and stay calm.

-Back away from the door. -Stay there, don't open up.

You're not coming in without my lawyer!

Do it.

-[tense music] -[shoulder thudding]

[Marcela] Humberto's almost there...

[Beatriz screams]

[Beatriz clatters]

[dramatic music]

Yes, Mother, I did everything you asked.

[shop bell rings]

As you probably heard from

that profoundly irritating shop bell, I'm here.

-A rivalry already. -Do you see Julia?

Yes, yes, she's in the store now with the baby.

Wait for me, on my way.

[office phone rings]

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

I found it under the car seat.

I put in an order for extras to ensure there will always be some on hand, ma'am.

Thank you.

Oh, do you happen to know whether Carlos had a meeting with his associates?

I know Rosales and Bustamante went to greet him when he arrived,

but then he requested some files and went into his office.

Hmm.

Find something for your daughter?

What are you doing here?

My mother asked me to come.

Oh.

Uh, I haven't found anything yet.

Plus, I don't even know what kind of event this is.

Well, she wanted me to go ahead and hire a priest for the baptism.

[baby coos]

But I think we both know how things will go with her involved.

Anything you like?

She'll try on the pink one.

Unfortunately for hygiene reasons, babies don't try things on, I'm sorry.

She'll try it on.

Of course.

Sorry, Mom wants her to look like

the most precious, perfect thing for the photos.

Yeah.

Please be careful with her, okay?

[baby coos]

Oh, so cute.

I was considering buying two onesies, one pink, one blue.

What do you think?

That's nice of you.

Nico is a little too old for onesies.

Still, it was a nice thought, Julia, thank you.

And yet you gave me two onesies, Fer.

Care to explain why you did that?

[Fernanda sighs]

Maybe I was just overwhelmed with joy because I knew your son was alive.

What?

[dramatic music]

You've known all this time my baby was alive?

Yes, Julia, I did but there's no need to overreact.

[Fernanda gasps]

All right, let's take a look at our little fellow here named...

you haven't named him yet, is that right?

There hasn't been time to get him to the registrar.

Oh, don't worry about that, he's barely a week old.

Now tell me something, dear, was the birth natural?

It was a Cesarean.

So, what are you doing here?

Well, I tried to convince her to stay home.

She hasn't even had her stitches out yet.

Oh, my dear.

[distant baby cries]

Well, what I can tell you right now is that

your little boy has very good chances of getting better.

So, there's a cure?

Well, there are no guarantees,

but I use a specific method named after Dr. Ponseti

which uses bandages and plaster casts.

That way, we avoid having to do surgeries.

Then over time, we'll have him walking normally.

Tell us, doctor, is there an explanation for this condition?

Well, not really, no.

There are several factors involved that could have to do with genetics.

It can also be a side effect.

No, no, no, I'm serious.

The fewer people involved, the better.

[Nora] We'll have one of Navarro's trusted nurses there

and she's okay with signing a non-disclosure agreement.

Also, I'm arranging for Nestor and his men to be on the premises.

No, Mom, I don't want her to feel trapped with us.

This shouldn't feel like a prison.

We've already forced her into getting pregnant for us.

Are you suggesting that we should

postpone any projects for the next six months?

Mother, wouldn't you say this project is the most important one?

Mom, please, I'm asking for you to support me here.

But you've already abandoned one

pharmaceutical project that requires your presence

and everyone is starting to question things

thanks to Ochoa, who's making a lot of noise.

Yeah, I know that.

What are they saying anyway, huh? That I don't want to face things?

That I'm running away from the accusations?

Exactly. All right then, tell me what I'm supposed

to tell the staff that's still involved with this research.

Nothing, Mom.

There's no need to tell them anything because I'm going to be working from here.

Listen, I'll call you later on, promise.

It'll be all right.

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to eavesdrop.

Don't worry about it.

What are you running away from?

From a clinical research trial.

Some of the medications we were testing

have been causing birth defects

in the children of the women who participated.

[dramatic music]

Yeni, what's the matter?

Why do you look so upset?

The doctor gave us really good news today, honey.

I mean sure, the treatments might take

a long time, but it's not gonna cost too much

and the doctor said that it was really good

that we started the process early while he's still little.

It's the best thing.

Cuca...

they gave me a pill.

[somber piano music]

The one that Huizar was using in their clinical trials.

The one that Marcela mentioned?

The one they used to do experiments on those poor women?

Oh, Yeni.

But...

why would they do that to their very own child?

I don't understand, are you sure?

How did you come to that conclusion?

Carlos told me that many of the babies were being born with defects

and he said that many of them had clubfoot

and he also told me about the research trials they did.

Okay, Yeni, but do you really think that Carlos?

Yes, Cuca.

[baby coos]

I was his experiment.

[Cuca] Oh, Yeni.

I was his project, I overheard him say that one day.

[Cuca] Shh, shh, shh.

But I'll tell you one thing's for sure, it all stops here.

Even if I have to bear my teeth, nobody's going to hurt my son.

Nobody will hurt us ever again.

Shh, shh, shh.

[Fernanda] Julia.

Congratulations,

you always wanted to be just like your mother and now you've done it.

You're no better than I am.

Spending your time worrying about stupid things when you

could easily ask my mother to help you get your son back.

-Get back here. -Let go of me.

-What's the matter with you? -What's wrong with you?

You should be thanking me.

I was the one that rescued your son

and I miscarried your embryo so that there

wouldn't be yet another deformed child for you to abandon.

[Fernanda yelps]

Yeah, that's what happened.

She was advised that they would force

their way in and she still didn't move away.

Welcome, this way, please.

-We've been waiting for you. -Thank you.

Beatriz was knocked unconscious but she's better now.

-Please calm down, ladies. -Just shut up.

This is none of your business

and if you ever touch me again, you'll regret it.

That's what you get for talking about my son.

You don't even know what you're talking about.

-Mm-hmm. -Her son received most of the impact.

Hmm.

It is not my job, nor is it my responsibility

to involve myself in this incident.

But I appreciate you informing me.

I can only conclude from what you've told me

that the baby died simply because

of the gross negligence of the mother, hmm?

Miss,

what kind of outfit would you recommend to bury a baby in?

[dramatic music]

[car brakes squeak]

They're here.

Looks like we'll have to wait because she came with a child.

Not to mention that the boy

and her other friend are waiting for them inside.

Shit, move, move out of sight.

Let go of me.

[distant chatter]

What did the doctor say? Did he refuse to treat him?

No, on the contrary, the doctor was very professional

and he took the time to explain everything to us, really it was--

-So, it's good news? -Yes. It's all very good news.

-No problems at all. -Can I come in?

[Sonia] Yes, please come in.

I managed to get Francisco out

of the hospital to distract him for a while.

This is my grandmother, Cuca.

-Hello there. -Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

-Very nice to meet you. -Hi, nice to meet you.

-Hello. -Hello, nice to meet you.

-[Francisco] How are you? -How's your daughter?

They say that she's doing well

and I'll be able to take her home pretty soon.

If you don't mind, I could start looking over the insurance policy.

[Sonia] Sure.

Is this your son?

Yes. He was sleeping, but now looks like he's awake.

May I?

Would it be okay if I held him?

-Yeah? -Of course.

Here. Oh, careful.

All right. Like this?

Here. Hold onto the back of his head.

-Here. Very good, that's it. -[baby whimpers lightly]

[Francisco] Hello, handsome.

Hello?

You told him?

Nope.

-Hello. -Hello.

[baby whimpers softly]

[Francisco] What's up? Huh?

Is this my son?

No.

That's Francisco's child.

We're going to wait for you outside.

Call me if there's anything, okay?

Don't worry, It's all right. Carlos is leaving.

-No. We'll wait for you. -Excuse us.

[Francisco] Thank you.

I'm not leaving here until you tell me why you lied

about something that you know is important to me.

[phone beeps]

We're waiting for Carlos to leave the laundromat.

Did he see you?

That's what you wanted. Wasn't it, you asshole?

Why would you think that?

I have no idea why he's even there. Are you still there?

Yeah, with my mother.

So if you're trying to screw me over, you can forget it.

Do you understand?

Don't threaten me, you piece of shit.

Stop wasting my time. Who else is with Carlos?

-Yeni and her friends. -Damn it.

Is there anything I can help you with?

-Anything else you need? -Thank you. That'll be all, miss.

Very well.

Do you have any idea of the show you put on today?

That's the least we could do.

Thanks to you we've both lost our embryos.

You gave Yeni an abortion pill and you provoked your own miscarriage.

[water splashing]

[dramatic music]

Fer.

[dramatic music continues]

I knew it was too good to be true when you offered

to carry your own brother's child to term.

-Arturo pressured me, Mom. -[Nora] Uh-huh.

Honestly, I wish you could be enough

of an adult to admit your part in all of it.

This is a perfect example

of why I'll never be able to give you more power

in the company, because it would inevitably end up

in your husband's corrupt hands.

And you need to stop playing so innocent.

You really need to smarten up.

You have your daughter, right?

That's what you wanted.

Or was your burning desire to have children simply to comply

with the legal requirement that Carlos have descendants?

Think whatever you want, Nora.

I'm amazed that I still have any feelings at all for that child,

but I certainly have none left for your family.

Now that's fine.

Then I'll simply register her under my name.

Mom, you know that's illegal and more than that, it's difficult to do.

I already planned for it though.

Navarro arranged to get me a birth certificate

that states the girl belongs to me.

But my actual idea was to leave here immediately

and register you as her mother, to make sure that Carlos stays with you

and stops trying to find that native woman.

Do you honestly think

that a child can force a man to stay married?

Carlos won't ever leave his daughter to us

and I'm certainly not going to hand her over to that woman.

Any thoughts?

[somber music]

[siren blaring]

[somber music continues]

Mom, wait. Come back. Mom.

I promise that Yeni will explain everything really soon,

but we should really get back to the apartment.

No, no, no. I'm staying here.

I don't wanna leave her alone with him.

-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.

I'm Margarita Perez.

Nice to meet you. My name is Cuca.

Ah. You seem like you're quite busy.

No, no. These are our friends, but they're just about to leave.

Well, I just wanted to check the place out.

Sorry, ma'am. It's just that there are people in there,

so maybe you can wait until they leave.

[phone ringing]

-I'm sorry. -Let me handle this.

-Hello? -Come back.

We're not doing anything right now. Understand?

Yes. I'll let you know when you can come join me.

Damn it.

I'm sorry, that was my son.

He was asking me if it would take much longer.

Oh, no. I don't think so.

But we can set up another appointment on another day.

No, I need to make a decision today.

There's another laundromat that I'm considering.

-Oh, I understand. -Well, come on,

we should probably get going.

Yes. Goodbye.

Yeah, see you soon. Take care.

[music fades]

You promised me that after the C-section,

I'd wake up and it would all seem like a dream,

but it's just been a nightmare since then.

And you never told me I was giving birth to twins.

-I'm sorry. -[gentle music]

I lied because I was afraid that if you found out,

you wouldn't want to continue--

You and Marcela took advantage of me because it was my first pregnancy.

You had no trouble abandoning your son either.

And you know what? That's why he died.

What do you even care? He never existed for you.

You think I don't care?

You have no idea what you're talking about, Yeni.

I was waiting for that baby with all the love

and eagerness I had,

and I walked through that door praying that I would see him,

praying he was alive because my mother had him cremated

before I could even see him.

And you know why else I came?

Because I trusted you, despite what everyone else told me.

I trusted you.

Carlos, you've selected me.

You picked me when you saw me outside Hugo's.

Yeni, I'm sorry but I don't know what you're talking about,

that guy's not my friend.

You can stop pretending.

So can you.

Why did you call me?

Huh?

Why did you call me and tell me that my son was alive?

What do you want?

I wanted you to feel a little bit

of what I felt after I left the hospital,

hoping that I would get to see my father,

but instead finding out that he was dead because of what you did.

Why didn't you call me back?

[Fernanda] I couldn't. I was with my mother and Julia.

Your brother went looking for Yeni.

If you think that's bad,

just wait until you hear what I have to tell you.

My mom wants to register Carlos' daughter as hers.

[Arturo] No. Nora's smarter than that.

I mean, I wouldn't put it past her,

but you know what this means, right?

Call Carlos and we'll get him away from Yeni

and that way he can stop your mother.

Yeni, I had absolutely nothing to do with your father's death.

I didn't even know him.

And I know you've always told me how much a part

of your life he was and what he meant to you.

I would never, ever harm the father of the woman I love.

I know that I've made a lot of mistakes

and I'm sorry for them.

And I also know that there are other things that I didn't do

and I think about them...

how I didn't dare do them.

Do you know that I thought about dropping everything,

of running away with you, starting over together?

-No. You'd never do that. -I thought about it.

-It's not true. -Yes, it's true.

You clearly stated that our relationship had an expiry date,

as soon as I stopped being your surrogate. That's what you said.

That's true.

I said it. I said it because I didn't want to hurt Julia.

That's just as well.

Go be with your wife and leave me alone.

Don't look for me anymore. Stop hurting me.

I don't wanna hear from you.

No, Carlos.

[gentle music]

Get out of here.

You heard her, right?

Get lost.

Okay.

[gentle music continues]

Hey.

[Yeni cries]

We just don't wanna be driving late at night to Puebla.

I can drive you there tomorrow.

We'll see. That'll depend on when you get here.

Thank you.

As I was saying, the girl is the hospital's responsibility

from the moment she's admitted

to the moment she's delivered in this case, to the father.

I can assure you there won't be any problems, Doctor.

Bruna, I would really love to help you, but--

Francisco never asked our permission

when he gave the orders to disconnect my daughter.

On top of that, he let her body be cut up.

That's why we don't want him having our granddaughter.

[cellphone ringing]

-Hello. -Where are you?

[Carlos] Why, you need something?

Yes. You need to speak to Julia

and stop our mother from doing something stupid.

She wants to register your daughter as her own.

What? Where is she?

She didn't tell me where.

Please, call her.

Let me know where you end up and I'll find you.

-Okay. Thanks for the heads-up. -Of course.

[phone line beeping]

[car horn blaring]

Julia, please call me back.

[car horn blaring]

Ah, hey there.

Well, we don't need to talk about it right now.

That's what I told Keyus, but whatever.

I'm sorry.

I wanted you to wait because I wanted to apologize for what I said.

It was the first thing that came to mind.

Why don't you sit down for a bit and then maybe I can feed the baby.

Keyus, can you grab the bottle from the kitchen?

-Sure. -Thanks.

Come on.

Shh, shh.

-Isn't she lovely? -She's precious.

Oh, there you are. It's good that you came.

What's going on here?

Congratulations.

Tessa is just getting lovelier every day.

-Tessa? -Ugh.

That was a surprise, father.

-[photographer] Is everyone ready? -Yes. Yes.

No, please explain what's going on here, Mother.

One moment, please.

[baby cries]

Come here.

Oh, yes, Granny will be right back, all right?

That's all right. Come, darling.

Now I want you to behave yourself

until this is all over with and then you and I can talk about it.

No, no. I'm not gonna wait.

I need you to explain exactly what it is you're doing here.

I want you to do what I tell you to or you'll never see your daughter again.

Mom, I know that you're capable of many things,

but even you wouldn't dare to register my daughter

as your own, right?

That's precisely what I'm telling you, Carlos.

All right now.

For the first shot,

I'd like to be alone with my granddaughter.

All right, I'm ready.

-Will you bring her here, please? -Yes.

Oh, what a beautiful little girl.

Yes, you're my little queen.

I never thought they would try to do something like that to you.

Things are just so crazy

and I didn't want to just blurt something out by accident.

I'm sorry, Francisco.

I thought that you had told Carlos to go to the laundromat.

They're trying to convince anyone and everyone

that Julia was the one who gave birth

and that one baby was stillborn.

I think they fooled Carlos too

because even if he was part of the plan,

he had no idea that his son was still alive.

I was there when Navarro told him that his son was stillborn,

and I watched him Yeni, it's clear that Carlos is suffering a lot.

I might have been able to forgive him for the mistake he made with me,

but not for the death of my father.

And I don't think I can forgive him now that I know

that he's the reason my baby was born with clubfoot.

But that's another story.

That's actually what made me decide

to take care of the baby and raise him on my own

Even so, I think if you decide not to denounce them,

then Carlos and that whole family will still be able

to walk all over anyone who dares to stand in the way of their shady plans.

Before we go ahead with the baptism, I want you to come visit with me.

I would like for the two of you to renew your marriage vows

in front of God and thank him for gracing you with a child.

Oh, yes.

Let me walk you out, Father, it was so good of you to be here today.

-Thank you. Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Fer, make sure the photo packages are ready,

so that we can send them to the press tomorrow.

[Fer sighs]

Why have you been lying to me all this time, Julia?

I don't think you'd ever agree

to registering my daughter without my consent, right?

And much less,

agreeing to let my mother register her as her own.

Am I right about that?

Imagine your mother registering under her own name,

the daughter of the woman she hates.

But no,

I registered her as mine.

[Nora] Tessa's baptism is going to be a huge event

which is why we have to plan everything very carefully.

-[Carlos] Can I talk to you? -[Nora] Excuse me for a moment.

I thought you were leaving, Father.

-Thank you for coming. -Carlos, great to see you.

Carlos.

Father, I'm so grateful to you.

You have no idea how much this means to me.

-Of course. -See you very soon.

-Yes. -How rude of you.

Do you want to explain why you went ahead

and registered my daughter without my consent?

Because I had already told you to do it.

Just in case your crazy idiot of a wife

decided to run away with my darling granddaughter.

-Remember that? -No, no, no, no.

I wanna make something very clear, Mom.

When it comes to my daughter, my child, you don't decide, I do. Are we clear?

I was simply trying to put Julia in her place

and that way you get all the freedom that you need to go

and be with that surrogate.

My granddaughter and Julia are staying with me.

-Got it. Is that clear? -[Carlos chuckles]

She's my child.

[Nora] I don't care.

The decision's been made.

Even if the Huizar has bought off Navarro and the entire hospital,

the contract you signed would ensure that--

What contract?

I don't have any contract.

Marcela just showed me the birth certificate

when the baby was born.

Well, that would constitute proof then.

And if you press charges,

then the authorities will have to investigate.

Right? And there must be witnesses who saw you pregnant

-and with Carlos. -And who would believe me?

Why wouldn't they believe you, Yeni?

I don't have the same kind of privileges that Carlos and his family does.

No, of course not.

I know, but I'm not talking about privilege here.

I'm talking about your rights.

You can't let them take advantage of your rights.

It's easy for you to say that.

But they have already threatened me

and I'm not worried about myself,

but I am worried about the people who are my world.

For my son, I'm supposed to love and protect him.

Listen, Yeni...

I know that our paths crossed because of a terrible tragedy.

It's our responsibility to turn all this into something positive.

I understand all of the injustices that you've suffered, but you have to know

that you can count on us to help you through this.

It was really unnecessary to tell your brother

about Nora's plan, you know?

I had already made the decision to give the baby my last name.

That was a good idea.

I know, it's the only way to guarantee that my daughter,

Tessa is the only heir to Huizar Pharmaceuticals.

I went to visit Yeni.

Oh, would you look at that?

I see where your priorities lie.

That's where we differ.

My priority is Tessa.

You'll be happy to know she doesn't want to see me.

Wow.

Well, then I should give her some credit

because it would seem she knows what's good

for her more than you do.

She also told me that you set her up,

that among many other horrible things I won't even say.

[dramatic music]

IN THE NEXT EPISODE...

Come on, Grandma, where are you?

Carlos had my grandmother kidnapped.

You understand that this is revenge, don't you?

I didn't mean to hurt anybody.

My baby. [cries]

All of this was Nora's idea. You know that, don't you?

-Hey, hey, Francisco. -No, I won't let him go

until he hands my daughter to me.

-Get outta my hospital. -[fists thud]

Don't worry. I'm gonna find you a lawyer, okay?

So all we had to do was find the right bait

for that woman to bite into.
