No, Pedro, no!

♫ This is the ideal place to dispel your sorrows ♫

♫ Beautiful women, love, vanity ♫

♫ Lust, fortunes, voluptuousness ♫

♫ All the pleasures of this world ♫

♫ To please your vanity ♫

♫ So that your passions become reality ♫

♫ You can rise in a second ♫

Imbecile! I told you not jewelry.

It would have been a shame to leave them behind, wouldn't it?

This, yes.

Money. No one sees the money again.

Nobody can recognize it.

But this filth always ties you up.

If you don't want the jewelry, let me have it.

I'll give it to you when you stop working for me.

Jail is jail.

And my bones are not going to rot in it because of you.

Give it up.

Not me, ma'am.

I swear... I don't... It's just...

How did you get out of it?

It turned out good, more or less... but it turned out good.

Lies! He killed him! He killed him!

I don't know, ma'am. I don't know. I think he went too far, but...

It's going to bring you down, Pedro!

I want to talk to Tony.

No, ma'am, please, don't. Not with Tony.

Tell Tony that Pedro got compromised.

Let them figure it out.

If not today, it will be tomorrow.

What is it?

Put on a smile and go get dressed, Lupe.

No… I'm not going to dress up.

- I don't... - You don't what?

Lady, let me go. I can't anymore. What I owe you, I will pay back.

- Are you crazy? - Let me go, I don't want to stay here.

Ungrateful. You are all the same.

You contacted me to perform in variety.

To sing, not to… I'm not one of those.

Nobody has asked you to do anything else.

But in my establishment, everyone gets their commission.

And what you do will pay you well.

- What are you paying me for, to steal? - You will be paid.

- Do not forget. And now... - No!

Neither you nor anyone are going to pay me for tonight.

Let me go.

You have used me to steal, to murder a man.

Be quiet!

Who told you it was a murder?

Pedro killed him. I saw it.

It wasn't a murder. It was an accident, understand.

- An accident. - Lies, it's not true, let me go!

- Where do you want to go? - Leave me be.

Alright. I can't force you.

What are you waiting for? The door is open.

I just want to warn you that you won't be able to go very far.

You'll have to explain to the police why you left with a man from this cabaret,

why you took him away in a car so that one of your accomplices could kill him.

I didn't have anything to do with that.

Only you and I know that.

And I have more means to make people believe what I want.

So…

Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you.

Especially if you know how to behave intelligently.

You are young, and really pretty.

If I were you, and with a voice like yours,

I would laugh at the world

Tony was right to hire you.

By the way, how much did you want to earn?

Your contract is for four weeks, right?

Well, it's time for you to go change.

Put on your golden dress. I saw the blue one yesterday and it looks bad on you.

The customer likes good rags.

Lupe, nothing can happen to you in here.

It would be good if you didn't leave the establishment for a few days.

- Line? - Who is it? Lupe?

Sorry, girl. I can't give you the line if Tony doesn't authorize it.

No. The only direct telephone belongs to Mrs. Simona.

They've just brought you this flower.

All the fabric is wrinkled. It looks like it has been crushed.

You had fun, right?

If only I was young...

What number are you going to perform?

Tell me, if you want, what dress you want to wear.

Come on, come on.

At your age, all one has are problems.

I understand, I know.

But it can't be that bad.

Maybe it's a love problem.

Don't worry, he'll be back. They all come back.

And frankly, I wish they wouldn't come back.

I prefer to walk alone than in bad company.

I want to be your friend.

Child, what's wrong?

Something serious?

Trust me. You won't regret it.

Clotilde, I'm in a mess and I don't know how to get out.

Well, the only thing that has no remedy is death.

Have courage.

Can I help you with something?

No one can help me.

In life there is always someone to lend us a hand.

Think about it.

Clotilde.

I can't leave the establishment and I want to send a message.

Count on me, I'll go.

At Hotel Vistor, ask for the engineer Marcos Arriola.

If you don't see him, leave this for him.

No, wait!

If I had an envelope...

Get dressed soon. It won't take long for them to call you on stage.

♫ I am like the night, I live without sun, I live without light, I live without life ♫

♫ I am like the night, without love, without illusion, lost faith ♫

♫ I am what you have wanted, I am what you have lost ♫

♫ I am like a reproach, like a cry that the wind sweeps into oblivion ♫

♫ I am like the night, good and evil have found their refuge in me ♫

♫ I am like the night, and my stars are the kisses that I have given you ♫

♫ I am what you have suffered, virtue made sin ♫

♫ I am eternal night, always alone, remembering my past ♫

♫ I am what you have suffered, virtue made sin ♫

♫ I am eternal night, always alone, remembering my past ♫

- And Simona? - I also came looking for her.

Well, my godmother is not here, but I am.

Does it bother you?

- On the contrary. - You don't seem very happy to see me.

- What is it? - You didn't go to my dressing room either.

- Yolanda. - Since I'm not Lupe.

- Well, but... - What do you like about her?

And if you don't like her, why do you send her flowers?

Don't stare at me.

Answer me.

Tony...

Tony… My Tony.

Why do you always kiss me between the eyes?

So you always think of me.

I want you to know that no one is worth to me what you are worth.

Simona too?

Simona?

For a long time, things between your godmother and me have...

Well, they have changed in character.

Our relationships are more of a pact. A kind of contract and you know it.

- I only know that she loves you. - Yolanda…

And that I have the right to make your life difficult with my jealousy.

I don't care about my godmother, it's a done deal.

But your attention to other women...

I don't know, I just figure that all of them...

But I can't belong to everyone, Yolanda.

And even if you wanted it, I'm not going to let you.

So be careful.

I don't like women threatening me.

And much less you.

Good evening, Yolanda. What can I do for you?

Money?

You are fatigued.

Perhaps.

Your idea about varieties being continuous

keeps me watching the stage all night.

Everyone does whatever they want here.

You, for example, Yolanda,

you should already be with the orchestra to enter on time.

- How much money do you need? - I have to pay 500.

I like jewelry too, girl.

But I can't be spending that much on them.

Hello? Yes, she's here.

She'll be there right away.

The orchestra asks for you.

Thank you, godmother.

They told me you wanted to talk to me.

- How beautiful. - I bought it and fixed it for you.

- It's a jewel. - It's more than 100 years old, my life.

What is Lupe's salary?

What?

How much did you hire Lupe for?

You have changed, Simona.

Oh, you mean the clock?

Thanks, Tony. It's very pretty.

And what does Lupe have to do with it? Are you jealous?

Look, Tony. I stopped caring about what you do a long time ago.

If I ask you about Lupe,

it's because I still don't understand why you brought her here.

And above all, involving her in the matter of Pedro.

- Why did you do it? - Don't get ahead of yourself.

I only hired her as a variety act.

Don't think I like her.

- I already know the story. - Please, Simona.

I've heard it a hundred times during all these years.

And it's always been the same. Wait.

You forced me to take that girl because you want her for yourself.

- You are crazy! - You're not going to fool me.

To prevent her from escaping and to keep her safe

you sent her with that drunk and with Pedro.

- Do you know how it ended? - No.

You do know, Antonio.

- But you knew beforehand what would happen. - Simona, I swear...

I realize now that Pedro didn't lose control.

You ordered him to take care of it.

Just to force Lupe to fall into your hands. You're a--

Don't forget who you're dealing with.

If I liked that girl, I would've taken her.

Without having to commit her to anything.

Do you hear me?

You still want me.

Are you going to deny me now?

Maybe, Tony.

But what I want to tell you is more important.

If that girl leaves, and if the police catches her...

First, I want you to take care of Pedro.

- Pedro's deal is done. - Already?

He won't be able to move for 15 days.

Now tell me if you still believe we conspired.

Fine, forgive me.

But Lupe remains. Eventually, she will sing.

Promise me that if she plans on doing so...

You're not the same as before, Antonio.

- OK, what do you want from me? - Don't yell at me.

We are both struggling and I am struggling on twice.

- For yours and Yolanda's affairs. - See you later.

Wait, Tony. What was Yolanda doing here?

- You know, she came for money. - Wait.

I know what you're thinking, but this time you're wrong.

I am never wrong.

I just want to tell you that I have allowed you everything.

With any woman, but don't touch Yolanda.

You would regret it all your life. You know what I mean.

Yes, Tony. It's still in there.

I have yours too.

And much better kept, don't forget.

That's the bad thing. That we are both tied to each other.

Simona...

Don't think I'm still with you because of that confession you have against me.

You don't know me.

Because…

Because I love you too.

- I want you. - There's no one like you, Tony.

It's been so, so long...

♫ Eyes, which speak when looking ♫

Hey, Yoli! Get dressed!

- No... - Get dressed, Yoli! - No!

Get dressed, Yoli…

- Should I get dressed? - No!

♫ Please get dressed, Yoli, the wind is going to make you sick ♫

♫ Please get dressed now, Yoli, don't catch a cold ♫

♫ Yoli, Yoli, put on your clothes now ♫

♫ Please get dressed, Yoli, even Eve can get angry ♫

♫ Get dressed, Yoli! Get dressed now! ♫

♫ Get dressed, Yoli! Get dressed now! ♫

♫ Yoli, Yoli, what is your mother going to say? ♫

Did you find him?

No. I left the box and the flower at the front desk.

Oh, woman, it itches!

This needs a needle and thread.

- Is it still raining? - It stopped an hour ago.

- It's the thirteenth. - Ah, yes, yes.

The engineer Marcos Arriola.

Wait a minute, engineer.

Someone brought this.

- An orchid. - For me?

- Who brought this? - A vulgar-looking woman.

♫ It's not true, it's not true that you don't love me anymore ♫

♫ It's not true, it's not true that I don't want to kill you ♫

♫ All the people say that your affection makes me go crazy ♫

♫ All people say that I die because of your kisses ♫

♫ It's not true, it's not true that you don't love me anymore ♫

♫ It is not true, it is not true that we do not love each other more ♫

♫ It doesn't matter that you say it's all over ♫

♫ It's not true, you know it more than me ♫

♫ It's not true, it's not true that you don't love me anymore ♫

♫ It is not true, it is not true, that we do not love each other more ♫

- Sir, sir? - Oh, yes, thank you.

Something new, huh? The variety is continuous.

Excuse me, does Miss Cordova work here?

Who? Ah, Lupe.

She's very successful. Like she just got unpacked.

Could you call for her?

- From who? - Well, from... from an admirer.

One moment.

- Are you going out? - No, it's just that I felt cold.

Well, I'm dying from the heat.

You haven't believed a single word I've told you, have you?

You are the only woman I could ever love.

I'm serious, Tony says so.

What's going on?

How would I believe you after you caused the worst thing in my life?

- It was an accident. - But I... - Don't worry.

- I'll get you out of trouble, we'll go together. - No, stay back!

You tricked me. I didn't know what this was.

This? This is life, Lupe. And I want you to learn,

to get used to seeing things naturally.

Even robbery and murder, right?

You are afraid, my love, but... it will soon pass when you and I are far away.

Don't worry. I know better places than this,

posh places, where you will not miss anything.

It all depends on you accepting.

Well, well, well...

Think wisely.

Lupita, this world has…

Two sides.

And we are... on this side.

Forget about the other side because there...

You're stuck up to your neck. Do you hear me?

Don't think I'm threatening you.

I just want you to think that I can help you.

Or is there someone else?

Do you know anyone else that can?

- No. - Are you sure?

I don't think anyone cares about me.

I don't see why you should ask me in that tone.

No reason.

I want to trust you, Lupe. Don't fool me.

There's a guy out there waiting for you for a while.

He asked for Miss Cordova. You know him?

The people I know don't visit a cabaret like this one.

It's true, I had forgotten that you were a decent person.

Well, go on, he's waiting for you.

Oh, hey, don't forget.

Don't forget that I am a jealous man.

What did you do with the flower I sent you?

I probably sent it to him.

There, that's how I like it. Lively!

No, I don't know him, but if he asks for me...

I'll join him. He's a client, Simona orders that clients must be served.

- But don't forget. - Rest assured, then.

- What will the gentleman drink? - Water.

- And the lady? - Cognac.

What's going on, Lupe? What does all this mean?

- What the hell are you doing here? - It's good that you came.

- I appreciate it so much. - Don't thank me. Speak.

Lower your voice, Marcos, and be cautious. They could be watching us.

I won the television contest.

I saw it in the newspapers.

When I won, I had some propositions.

I took one from a guy named Tony to work here as variety.

- Cheers. - What are you doing here, Lupe?

- Cheers... - Drinking cognac.

You don't seem like the girl who was my girlfriend.

So you stood me up to become one of many.

Please, Marcos, let me explain.

Three months ago you told me that you were leaving me because you had ambitions

and I was just a poor engineer who didn't understand what art is.

Is this art?

Shut up, Marcos. I didn't know it was like this.

I can't get out... They're watching me.

I'm compromised.

Lupe, I'll get you out of here.

A customer got drunk.

They told me to walk him a few blocks,

because it wasn't convenient to make a scandal in here.

That I had to leave him in the streets and come back.

But it was all a plan to rob him...

And they murdered him.

I knew you were staying at the Vistor.

The couple on 14. Go over there and keep your ears open.

- It won't fit any finger. - But a jeweler could fix it for me.

You are crazy. So that someone recognizes it.

- You don't even know whose it was. - I wasn't born yesterday.

- Seriously, godmother. - Don't call me godmother.

Whatever you want. But I was telling you that I like that stone.

Forget it. We're not going to go to jail just to please your fancy.

Why not? You would be fine there.

And it wouldn't be the first time.

Shut up, Yolanda. You have no right to judge me.

To judge someone like you, one doesn't need any rights.

- You're a... - Tell me.

To not be ungrateful. You haven't blamed me for a while.

That I am ungrateful,

that after everything you have done for me, I've already forgotten?

I have never held any of those things against you.

But you behave with me as if every coin and every dress you give me weighs you.

I don't care at all about that ring.

Only that, knowing your stinginess, I would like to keep it.

Are you going to cry?

No. I haven't cried in a long time.

- It's not worth it. - Everything ends up drying up, right?

Even feelings.

What's the matter? Do you feel like fighting or what?

Not worth it.

Women like us either cry or fight.

- And, if not, they kill each other. - Yolanda…

I don't know.

I don't know what's happening to me, or why I'm telling you all this.

It must be the memories.

All memories are a nuisance, right?

- Can I help you with something? - You?

Neither you nor anyone can help me.

Don't drink so much.

Let me. Weren't you the one who pushed me into all this?

I did not. It was yourself.

Who brought me to the cabaret?

I received you, I don't deny it. But you begged me, crying.

You don't remember?

I remember. I remember everything.

I remember my house. A house where I was always alone.

Growing up.

- While she... - Don't talk about her.

She did what she could for you.

The best she could.

Yes… Until I discovered the deception.

- One day I followed her and… - A mother is a mother, Yolanda.

I don't criticize her.

But it hurts me that she didn't tell me the truth and that she deceived me.

I was a girl who was educated in a good school.

And her, killing herself in the worst places and leading the worst of lives.

You fooled me too.

- Why didn't you tell me? - She did not want to.

She planned to make a decent woman out of you...

- If she had lived. - Poor.

You will never understand me. I did it for her.

- You turned me into this because of her. - Yolanda.

So as not to be ashamed of her memory.

And I wanted to suffer the same to understand her better.

And to punish myself.

So? Are you going to give me that stone?

Neither for you, nor for me. I've spoken.

Believe it or not, I love you too much to let a shiny rock take you to jail.

You don't love me. You have never loved me.

Neither you nor anyone. Fine.

Someday I will have enough money...

to buy myself one of those.

I'm going to the stage, godmother.

Could you hear anything?

What happened?

- Were you expecting someone? - Yes, one of the boys.

- I left him guarding a table. - For me, don't interrupt yourself.

Continue working.

Wait, I want to show you something.

Look at this gadget. I bought it at a bazaar.

Something expensive, but it's all for the passion.

How beautiful it is.

I never played with dolls.

And what does this one do? Come on, talk. Or what?

She is broken. But when I fix her she will be like a decent lady.

She will walk on the floor, saying daddy and mommy.

You see, I left this bird ready yesterday.

It's a French toy.

Reminds me of one my father had.

I think that's where my hobby comes from. The poor guy was a watchmaker.

It burst.

Pure rubbish!

You never break down, huh?

The day I break down, it will be forever.

I would like to go with you, far, far away.

Where there wasn't so much noise.

Have you ever thought about it?

No, right?

- Yes, of course, my life. I... - No, you haven't thought about it.

But I'm thinking about it now.

Seriously, I have an old aunt who lives in a village.

Really, Tony?

You know that in a town there are not many amenities.

It takes work to get used to.

I would go with you whenever you asked.

Unfortunately, it's just an illusion.

- I can't move from here. - We could, Tony, if you wanted.

If you wanted me.

Even if I love you, I can't leave.

Because of Simona? So she counts more to you than me.

I am talking to you.

Alright. I'm going to tell you the whole truth.

You know that Simona has me in her hands since the Margarita affair,

an idiot who worked here.

One day they found her body floating in the canal.

- I know what the mess was like. - Lies, I had nothing to do with that.

Simona made me sign a letter acknowledging that and other things.

I want you to realize that she has a good grip on me.

I can't get away or do anything while she has that letter in her possession.

- And now, what do you say? - A letter?

Yes, I know I was a fool, but I had to do it.

Now I have no way out.

I have no way out, even if I love you, Yolanda.

You are the only woman for whom I would sacrifice my life.

- What do you think? - In Simona.

- How astute she is. - Not so much.

- I also made her sign a little letter. - And you have it?

Very well kept. Because Simona has wanted to steal it from me.

One night, I found my desk turned inside out.

She is a…

If I could take mine away from her, I would be a free man.

At least free to leave.

Hey, Tony, what if we could get that letter back?

I can't. She keeps it in a safe. In a yellow envelope.

I said, what if we could get it back?

If we could? Can you?

I think I can.

I am in your hands, Yolanda.

Would you run away with me?

My life, with what other woman would I do it otherwise?

I'm not asking if you would go with someone else.

I just want to know if you would go with me.

What a question.

Of course, baby.

- You offend me. - I love you.

I'm going to do it for you.

I'm going to betray Simona for you.

My queen, my life.

Be careful. Play it clean.

Very clean.

Don't worry.

We will go away.

Wherever you want.

And when can we leave?

Maybe tonight.

To the face that Simona is going to make.

And her letter? Where do you have it?

And why do you want to know?

Just curiosity.

I'll tell you when you give me mine.

- What are you doing, Tony? - Nothing, my life.

- I want to get even for all those hours without seeing you. - Tony!

Tony...

No.

What's wrong, my life?

I want you to be happy.

- Everything will get fixed. - You don't love me, Tony.

You know I do. That nobody else matters to me.

But you distrust me. And that's not right.

- What's not right? - Your distrust.

Why do you want to know?

Because I'm selfish.

I love you the way you are.

When a woman goes to live with a man,

she needs to know all his secrets

to defend him when necessary.

I have never trusted any woman.

Because no one has ever loved you the way I do.

Tell me.

No?

Alright.

I keep Simona's letter inside the machinery of that clock.

And now, what else do you want to know?

- That's not true. - Then, why?

Because I wanted to succeed.

Show everyone that even a country girl could get ahead.

And you proved it well.

- And your dad and your mom? - They went back.

I convinced them to leave me in Mexico after the contest.

- Do they know where you are? - Of course not.

They think this is a decent place.

When are you going to town?

I was planning to return tomorrow to account for my commission, but…

- I'm not going to leave you alone in this mess. - Careful!

The waiter is watching us, don't look at him. Talk about something else.

- What I have to do is talk to the police. - No, I'm afraid.

But don't you understand that this matter must be reported?

Don't compromise me now. Wait for me.

- Maybe I can escape during the day. - We're leaving right now. I warn you.

I will make sure that all these people are caught

- and thrown in jail for the rest of their lives. - There he comes again.

Bring me a double cognac.

Right now it's not convenient. They are watching us.

We better pretend. Take me out to dance.

But first, listen to me. I don't know how all this will end,

but whatever happens, you will go with me because... I love you.

- Marcos… - Don't be afraid. Come.

Don't open... It could be Simona.

It's me, Tony, I'm here to tell you about Lupe.

- What do you have to do with Lupe? - Nothing, my love. I'll explain.

Don't explain anything to me, but remember you promised to play fair.

What's wrong?

- Nothing's wrong. - I'm talking about your job.

We are all on duty

and you are the only one who doesn't recognize any discipline.

- I know. - You should've shown up on stage 20 minutes ago.

- Where were you? - With Tony.

- Doing what? - Why do you care?

- Yolanda! - Let go! Why did you hit me?

- Because I have the right. - Which right?

Because you're my godmother or because of jealousy?

- Jealous? Of what? - You know very well.

- That's why you hit me! - Be quiet!

I'm not jealous of Antonio. I know him and I know the kind of man he is.

He's capable of anything. But I hit you for being a smart ass.

You have no reason to do so nor will I allow you to.

What are your taunts about? Are you involved with him?

You are bad, Yolanda, and the worst thing is that you have no reason to be.

It's not enough for you to wreak havoc freely in here, being my protégé.

But you try to hurt me, from woman to woman.

That's what hurts you. I already knew you were jealous.

And I repeat that it's not Tony that matters to me.

Tony is what he is.

A man who doesn't even recognize the qualms of the soul.

If he could, he would betray me to put me in jail.

You still love him, right?

I don't know.

But I don't know if you really are involved with him either.

I don't believe it. It can't be possible.

If he tries to get you involved, he would have to kill me first.

- Or I'll kill him. - You scare me, Simona.

These clothes right here are for your last number.

Fine.

Tony calls for you in the office.

You won't go. You'll stay here while I call the police.

- No, Marcos. - But why not?

It's just that I'm afraid.

Realize that they are not going to believe that I am innocent.

Oh, I don't know, but for now don't call any police.

- Wait for me. - Then I'm going with you.

Please don't make things more confusing.

I don't want you to commit, for me, it would be worse.

- But Lupe... - I'm begging you, I won't be long, wait for me.

You are dying of fear. I won't let you go alone.

- Wait for me, I tell you. - I won't.

- Do you think I'm afraid of them? - You're complicating things, Marcos.

All I want is to get you out of this mess, we're getting out of here.

I can't, let me go. I already told you they won't let me out.

They are capable of doing the worst.

My life, listen to me.

As long as I pretend to behave they won't do anything to us, understand?

Be calm, don't despair, I'll be back.

What I can tell you is that this guy is looking over for her.

How are you, Miss Cordova?

- Did you send for me? - And the man? - The man is not coming.

I would like to take good care of him.

He is an old friend of Miss Cordova, isn't he?

I told you he was a client.

A client full of personal memories.

What place to come here for his business?

Does he ask you about your dad and your mom?

Little dead fly. Get in.

- I told you to go inside. - No, what for? Let me go.

Let's talk about your friend.

Make sure that guy doesn't leave. Come on now.

Are you going to tell me?

Yes? Or no?

I've told you the truth. I met him here a few days ago.

- You're not fooling me, darling. - Let go!

No, come here. Even if you scream.

I want you to tell me the truth.

- You don't want to talk, huh? - No!

♫ For what reason? Why am I going to fuel my pain? ♫

♫ For what reason? If now I know that love does not matter ♫

♫ The entire dream that you and I built is over ♫

♫ so much joy that we could achieve, tonight is over ♫

♫ I want to forget the promises that made me live ♫

♫ I want to think about my apology for letting you go ♫

♫ For what reason? If I am guilty for loving you ♫

♫ for being like this, for pretending that you were for me ♫

♫ I want to forget the promises that made me live ♫

♫ I want to think about my apology for letting you go ♫

♫ For what reason? If I am guilty for loving you ♫

♫ for being like this, for pretending that you were for me ♫

So, he's a friend of your hometown, huh?

So why the hell is he here?!

He's a mining engineer. But he has commissions and comes to Mexico often.

Could he be the lady's lover?

- We are nothing. We are friends. - Don't fool me, Lupe--

- Get away from me. I don't... - You what?

Leave me alone.

Are you going to tell me that you hate me?

Don't be silly.

You'll get over it and you'll come looking for me.

You already know what I expect from you.

- And that will have to happen someday. - No, I can't love you.

- Let me go. - If not today, it will be tomorrow.

And if it's not for love...

- Let me go, I beg you. - What do you want? Your little friend?

I don't know anything. I just want to leave.

Alright. There is time for everything.

After all, there's nothing wrong with dancing for a while and having fun.

But be careful.

For now, there are two things prohibited for you, little one.

Don't try to get out of the cabaret.

And listen closely, a single word from you about what's happening here will cost you.

What did you say your friend's name was?

- Marcos. - Marcos...

I think it would be very dangerous to let you talk to him.

- Your tongue could slip. - I will not say anything.

- I don't want you to do anything to him. - Ah, well.

So, you do care for him after all.

You don't want me to do anything? Well, I'm not going to.

I just want to have a word or two with him.

- No, he won't come. - Of course he will.

- And you'll bring him yourself. - No, Mr. Antonio.

Call me Tony.

As you like.

Marcos is a friend of my family.

I'm not stupid enough to let him know what I'm involved in.

But if you call him and he finds out...

Well, for now I don't want him to find out what kind of home this is.

But it's good for me to find out what kind of guy he is.

Stop fooling around and bring him.

Nothing is going to happen to him. I give you my word.

What are you up to?

If that Marcos is such a harmless friend, nothing is going to happen to him.

So, bring him here.

God damn it, you still haven't learned to be obedient? Go on!

What's happening? I was worried about you.

- They are watching us. - I don't care.

Look at your face. They hit you!

No, Marcos, don't get involved. Don't do anything for now.

Don't do anything... At the very least, I'll call the police.

And what are you going to tell them? No, better not…

But why did they hit you?

They suspect you, the boss is a certain Tony and he wants to talk to you.

But I don't want you to go.

- You should escape, go. - And leave you alone?

- Take me to that guy. - No, Marcos, no.

You won't? First, I have to do something.

Wait for me by the bar.

I need the line, please, miss.

Radio Patrol?

There has been a crime.

Hello?! Hello?!

Radio Patrol?

Engineer Marcos Arriola speaking.

I'm at the Rumba Casino.

- Rumba Casino, you say? - Yes, sir. I need help.

- Understood, Mr. Engineer. - Thank you.

Glad to serve you.

- What did you do? - You'll know.

Now take me to the manager's office.

Let him go!

How are you, engineer? How long until the cops get here?

- You thought you were smart? - No, no, let him go!

- I'll do anything, but let him go! - No, Lupe!

Take this one too, maybe you'll learn about nosing around now.

♫ The saints protect me ♫

♫ I have good luck ♫

♫ I drive men mad ♫

♫ I have the world before me ♫

♫ I will ask Orula ♫

♫ Chango and Yemaya ♫

♫ May this curse that I carry be unbreakable to everyone ♫

♫ We will call all the saints ♫

♫ Saints of heaven, earth, water, and to the Lord ♫

- Please, don't, that's enough! - We are not playing!

You better remember what I'm doing to you.

Let me go!

Hit him!

Let me go!

It's fixed now.

Why did you do it? You stole my letter, didn't you?

- So what? - You did it for him, right? For him.

- Naturally. - Fool. You are an idiot and a--

Why? Because I'll save the man I love?

Of course I stole from you.

With that letter in your hands, Tony couldn't belong to me.

And now he is free. Free to choose the woman he wants.

You don't know what you've done.

You don't know, but I want you to know.

- Let go! - I won't let you go.

I want you to know. I want that you know. Get in.

Look, Yolanda... You've never known how I've felt.

Your feelings? I've known them for a long time.

Your feelings are nothing but dust.

But today, you miscalculated. With me and with everything.

It's not Tony I'm fighting for.

At this point in life, a woman knows how to tell men apart.

- He figured you out too. - Did you?

I'm not wrong about one thing.

Don't talk to me about good feelings because you hate the world,

whatever surrounds you, people and life... And me.

I should've shown you that you can trust me.

That I'm more than just your relative.

- That I am your friend. - You've never cared for me at all.

If I'm here, it's for your own interest.

What do you offer, that you have no responsibility?

That you can do as you wish, having my money and my jewelry.

If I still fight and live for someone, it's not for a scoundrel like Antonio,

but for the daughter of a woman who helped me, who cared for me.

- Don't think you're so smart. - I will, stupid.

No one can drag themselves through life without having someone to love.

Ah, well! Now it turns out that you have done it for me.

But don't worry. You will have something to live with.

- What are you saying? - That with those two letters,

both you and Antonio are in my power.

I'm thinking this is a nice business that…

That is going to have a new owner.

Is that clear?

Is that why?

To take everything away from me? You didn't even have to.

It was already yours and I'll prove it to you.

Here you have the bills, receipts, letters, everything is paid.

The property title to this nice business, and money.

Now check whose name is written in everything I own.

For me?

As for the jewelry I always denied you, leave them there.

They represent the part of my life that you don't deserve to lead.

- Forgive me... - I don't have to forgive you.

I just want to know why you stole Antonio's confession from me.

Out of hatred to me? Out of greed?

- I love him. - You don't.

He has awakened your sensuality.

But a man like that cannot be the love of any woman.

For women like us, he can.

You thought you won, but in reality it was Antonio who did.

He keeps a confession from me about Margarita's affair.

A case that happened to both of us.

We each signed a confession.

He kept my confession and I kept his, the one you stole from me.

Now he is the master.

He wanted it for my sake, so we could be together without you--

Lie.

He used you to steal it from me and now he's going to leave you behind.

- Let him try. - Yes, he is trying.

Right now, in his room, he is trying to convince Lupe to run away with him.

- That isn't true. - You don't believe me?

See yourself, try to get in. Antonio is beating Lupe to make her submit.

Go and hear for yourself. She promises him, she begs him.

I heard it myself.

But, what do I care?

Take it!

This is Antonio's confession that I stole from you.

Hide it again.

This one is yours.

Thank you, Yolanda.

Don't thank me. Help me.

I have more against that man.

I want to make him fall...

- Tear him up, let him sink. - Call to the police.

You go on stage. I'll take care of everything.

Radio Patrol?

- Finish him now! - No!

- Why do you want to kill him? - He knows too much,

and he is not going to submit to us.

- So... - I'll do what you want.

You're going to have to do it anyway.

Now you'll see if I really am a man.

Keep an eye on these two.

- Where is that letter? - Let go.

I have nothing to do with your affairs.

If Yolanda stole it from me, it was to give it to you.

Let's say I have it. And now that?

Didn't you send Yolanda to steal yours?

Stop! Don't forget that I have the upper hand now.

You shouldn't have forced Yolanda.

You know that you are the one I love.

But you took advantage of Yolanda to rob me, right?

If you give it back to me, I swear we will stay together.

I am a man... a man still capable of making you happy.

Take it from my office, it's on the desk.

- Leave us now. - But Tony--

Tony won't be in charge here again, get out.

Let's take him to your dressing room to wash up.

He won't be able to leave in this condition, you'll leave with him.

♫ I was born to be desired ♫

♫ But not to be loved ♫

♫ The eyes I look at reflect passion ♫

♫ Sensual outburst, voracious ambition ♫

♫ This must be my destiny ♫

♫ Wandering this path ♫

♫ Wanting to learn mercy from love ♫

♫ Instead, they gave me perversity ♫

♫ I deceived you because you forget like a fool ♫

♫ the caresses that my being will give you in a whisper ♫

♫ I deceived you into thinking I have a price ♫

♫ and that in exchange for pleasure my conscience has fallen asleep ♫

♫I deceived you because you have destroyed everything ♫

♫ I deceived you because you never loved me ♫

♫I deceived you because I hate you and despise you ♫

♫ I no longer have anything to learn, I no longer have anyone to love ♫

♫ My destiny has been fulfilled ♫

♫ I deceived you ♫

♫ Because you have destroyed everything ♫

♫ I deceived you ♫

♫ Because you have never loved me ♫

♫ I deceived you because I hate and despise you ♫

♫ I no longer have--

Godmother… There is no more time left.

I would like... To behave well with you...

Godmother…

Better this way…

You are not going to save yourself, Simona.

They'll lock me up, but so will you.
