Te Esperaré - Eugenio Siller Ft. Syko (Reina De Corazones) HD

                    EUGENIO SILLER- TE ESPERARE FEAT/ SYKO (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

I'll be waiting I live thinking that you didn't forget me That for some reason you don't remember how big is our love Confused in the process of letting you go, or ask God to give me back soon the queen of my heart. If only I could kiss you With a kiss I would reach the depth of your heart If only I could hug you Your heartbeats would cry out all that your mind couldn't tell It doesn't matter the time that passes by If I can bring you back I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting for you... for you, for you... Life put me in a wrong place A bad move, I don't feel you beside me anymore I know it would have been right to be in your arms But the destiny put me in the wrong place I have a letter in my hand and I'm thinking of you My soul is on the ground but my body is here With the confidence that in the midst of your confusion your eyes do not lie, I know they actually think of me. It doesn't matter the time that passes by If I can bring you back I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting for you... for you, for you... They say that a true love Is the one that always comes first And it doesn't care for anything, you are my blessing You don't even know my eyes, but I'm sure your body Recognizes mine, now, you will fall in love again If only I could kiss you With a kiss I would reach the depth of your heart If only I could hug you Your heartbeats would cry out all that your mind couldn't tell It doesn't matter the time that passes by If I can bring you back I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting for you... for you, for you...

RECAP IN ENGLISH 

Isidro holds a gun to Navier. Izzy has no trouble killing Navier since it would be his boss Clemente who would pay the price (Um? Qué? I though Victor was his boss. The CCs said Clemente.) Navier gets the gun away from Izzy. He doesn't like being called a liar.

Lazaro is in awe of Greta's strength. He gives her a "fight, fight, fight" pep talk.

Izzy wants Navier to explain why he would leave a career as a stunt double to be a taxi driver. Navier explains that he was in love with a fellow stunt double, but she died in an on-set accident. Navier couldn't save her and now he wants no reminders of that life. Later in the episode he reports to Smith that the Izzy bought the false story. After the confrontation, Izzy calls Victor and tells him it was a false alarm. Navier is clear and Vic can get back to worrying about his daughter.

Reina is annoyed that Delfina didn't tell her about Greta. Carmen hands over the keys to Reina. Carmen will be caring for a sick friend, so Reina will be alone for a few days. Carmen tells Delfina on the sly that Vic will have to pay for a nice, expensive hotel. Carmen isn't sticking close to Reina if someone is trying to kill her.

Reina asks Estefania if she remembers her. Estefania says no. Clarita arrives.

Estefania goes outside and is comforted by Navier. Estef explains that Greta is her daughter. Estef is more determined than ever to get even with Vic. He stole her hija from her! She doesn't want Vic dead, she wants him to suffer. She'll do whatever it takes. Urp. Navier kisses her. Smith pages him.

Cristian needs to talk to Reina. He wants to know where she was. She says she was just walking. She denies anything happened and no one followed her.

Navier and Smith talk about his fake background. Navier thinks it's good Izzy and Vic found it on their own. That made it more believable. Navier wonders if Smith trusts him. Navier is still limping. Smith tells him to take his meds. A lame (rengo) agent is no use to her. They are questioning Andres.

Andres denies having anything to do with the attempts on Reina's life. Navier directs Rocky's interrogation. He tells Rocky to ask about the relationship with Reina. Navier catches Andres in a lie (Reina's body is not covered with burns.) Andres was not Reina's lover. Andres explains about Reina's investigation into Artemio's death. 

Carlita got an A on her dragon story. Reina is affected by the "born a dragon, die a dragon" line. She remembers the Guy with the Dragon Tattoo (drink.)

Lazaro wonders why Connie didn't fix dinner. She's in a happy daze. Miriam comes home and passes out. Drugs. Little Roman freaks out and is dragged to his bedroom by Connie. Lazaro picks up Miriam and takes her to the hospital.
The De Rosas housekeeper (name?) comes to drop of clothes for Susana and pick up Clarita. She warns Reina to not return to the house; she should get her daughter and go. (Seemed more threatening to me. Not really like a warning.) Navier asks if Reina is going back to her husband. She tells him no. She's leaving with Navier.

Greta is stable. She's out of the worst danger. Unfortunately the studies show that she's suffered a grave spinal injury. Greta is a quadriplegic. She has no use of her arms or legs.

Greta awakes to a visiting Estefania.

Navier brings Reina home. She makes her move. She's leaving her husband and life. She doesn't need a chofer. She needs her a man. They begin to grope at each other. She sees and remembers the tattoo (drink.)

Estefania explains to Greta that she's someone who loves Greta. Greta may not know her, but she loves her. Greta freaks out because she can't move or feel her body. 

Navier carries Reina to the bedroom and we get another opportunity to drink. She goes to the bathroom to put on something more comfortable. Navier's gets a text. Rocky had forgotten to tell him that Reina saw his dragon tattoo. Navier tries to get her to come out of the bathroom, but she's already crawled out a window and is running the neighborhood (showing off her spanx.)

Greta continues to freak out. She remembers the accident. Doc explains that for now, Greta can't move her arms or legs.

Connie got Roman calmed down, but Reina shows up banging on the door. Connie refuses to answer and explains to Juanjo it's her lying neighbor.

Navier gets Reina back to the house. She challenges him to kill her. She thinks he's one of the hired killers. Juanjo knocks on the door. Reina assures him she's fine. 

Vic is going to find the best doctors in the world. Estefania believes in miracles. Her daughter is alive, isn't she?

Reina wants to know why Navier wants to kill her. 

Lazaro gets Miriam to the hospital. 

Navier explains that he was the one that saved her from the kidnapping. He killed one of the thugs and used the chloroform to knock her out. The police came and rescued her. She doesn't believe him.
Navier tells her that if he wanted to kill her, he had plenty of opportunities. He asks about her sudden change. Reina explains she remembered the tattoo. She remembered the picture he drew of a dragon for Carlita. She put two and two together and kissed him (so, I don't follow the logic.) She wonders why he kissed her if he's not a perv or an assassin. (Ok, this is one of those conversations where I understand the words, but I don't understand squat.) He tells her he doesn't want to kill her, but he *does* want to make love to her. He moves in for the love kill and Reina notices his limp. Rocky shows up. Reina wants to know how he knew where she was and he explains about the surveillance (who is now suspended for ignoring the whole running and screaming like a crazy person.) Reina apologizes and then asks Navier to leave. He's going to wait in the car. Reina reiterates that she doesn't need a chofer and she's going to start a new life.

Estefania and Susana agree that Greta's health is the most important thing right now. Susana asks if Estefania had approached her because she knew who she was. Estefania says it was something like that. Susanna doesn't want to talk about it right now, though. She asks Eetefania to leave. Susana is her mother and Greta will want to see her, not Estefania. Sue also tells Vic to leave too. Wow. He actually does.

Lazaro feels bad that Greta will be a quadriplegic.

Catherine Siachoque chews the scenery. Juan gives us a more sedate performance. You took my child! How could you!!! Por qué??? She knows very well why! Vic loved her so much their kiss is interrupted by gunman outside the car.

Rocky and Navier are in the car outside Reina's house. Navier is starting to get a fever and chills. Smith calls Rocky back to the office. Oh, the diamonds eyes from that doll were worth 2 million dollars.

Vic and Estefania are taken to the scene of the Red Diamond shoot out by the dead guy's brother. Estefania asks what he's talking about and we get another Curse of the Red Diamond voiceover. Vic tells the masked guy to leave Estefania out of it (aha! so he must not have a clue that she's involved in anything.) Vic wants to talk, but not in front of Estefania. The masked guy refuses to move her, but she conveniently faints.

Reina takes a shower and remembers smoochies. She goes out to Navier and realizes he's sick. She makes him come inside. She asks if he's afraid and he confesses he's afraid of her. Hmmm. Someone was recording everything!!!!

RECAP IN ENGLISH 

BRIDAL SHOP - NIGHTIME

Navier leans in for the kiss. Does he kiss Reina? No. He thinks about it twice and leaves limping. As he leaves we get a glimpse of his mighty fine abs.

BRIDAL SHOP - MORNING

Shall we take a drink each time Reina recalls the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo?

Reina awakens at the bridal shop. She's confused! She realizes she has the cross in her hands. She recalls the image of the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo (DRINK). She thinks she'll go crazy!

Reina hears a sound at the bridal shop. She goes to investigate. She grabs a flower vase and smashes it on Rocky Balboa. He chases after her. He tells her he means her no harm. He shows his badge - he's Detective Balboa. They are the ones who saved her. Reina was found unconscious. She was brought to the bridal shop for security reasons. NO ONE can know about her kidnapping! Why? Because they're making progess on the case and trying to find out who wants her dead. Reina is overwhlemed. What is she to do? Who can she trust? She was kidnapped! She had no clue who to call. She ended up calling Navier her chauffuer. Balboa knows. It was Navier who contacted them. She's safe thanks to Navier. Balboa will give Reina an emergency contact number. Victor must not know about her kidnapping because it could be dangerous for Clara. People will watch over Reina. The kidnappers were going to kill Reina. She doesn't know why they didn't kill her. They tortured her and had fun at her expense. It was one of the horrible experiences she's ever had. Balboa wants Reina to tell her something about the kidnappers that he can use to find them. All Reina can recall is the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo (DRINK). Reina is afraid not just for herself but also for Clara. She'd die if anything happened to Clara. Reina must not mouth a word of her kidnapping to Christian Palacios. Why? He's a family friend and a cop after all. Well, it's precisely because he's a family friend why he should be left out of this. Balboa's unit is above Christian. 

Delfina comes in and Balboa hides. Reina! You scared me. What happened? What are you doing here? Delfina asks. Reina recalls the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo (DRINK). Nothing important. I had a minor accident. It's no big deal she tells Delfina. Balboa listens in. 

Reina tells Delfina that she needs to remember. You don't know how hard it is not to remember. Delfina can imagine how hard it is. Reina wants to go back to her dad's house. That's where all her memories are. And Carmen is there too! Reina's whole life is back there. She needs to get her memory back. She needs to do it for Clara. Delfina can understand Reina wanting to leave her home but she can't understand why Reina would want her memories back. After all Reina was caught up in lots of lies, secrets, and deceits and maybe just maybe it is those skeletons and ghosts that want her dead. Reina recalls the muscular back with the Dragon tattoo (DRINK). Balboa listens in. 

Reina is now with Balboa. Delfina is not there. Reina can't believe she could have been caught up in lies and deceit. She's a decent woman! Delfina never liked her. Maybe that's why she said those things. Balboa tells her to rest, take a shower, change, and relax. She'll be watched over. Reina asks Balboa to please find out if what Delfina said is true. I want to know who I am really am, she tells him. 

Reina now alone tries to reach Javier. She continues to remember the image of the muscular back with Dragon tattoo (DRINK). 
HIDALGO MANSION 

Estefania awakens to the sight of Navier, the man she yearns and aches for (thanks Stevey!) and smoochies him. She realizes he's hurt and asks what happened. Nothing he says. Estefania knows something happened and it is because of Reina. She told him to forget all about Reina and everything. She wants to leave with Navier. Navier doesn't want to leave. He'll be there till to the end. Victor calls Estefania and tells her about Greta's accident. He needs her to come to the hospital. He'll send her a text with the directions to the hospital. Estefania tells Navier about Greta's accident. She's confused. Why would Victor want to see me? she wonders. She's worried about Great but doesn't understand it. She doesn't want to leave Navier. He's hurt. She wants to take care of him. He tells her he's fine. She tells him she's fine when she's with him. He's her opportunity to be happy. He tells her that it'd be good if she were to go and see Victor because the more she knows the more she'll be able to help him with his revenge. Estefania will go to the hospital. She tells him to wait for her there because she has things to tell him. What? Tell me know! he says. Estefania tells Navier that Christian interrogated her about a possible affair between Reina and Andrés, her stepson. They were seen together in Paris. Were they lovers? he asks. Christian is convinced of it. Perhaps Reina was interested in Andrés' money or she simply had the hots for him...says Estefania. Estefania leaves for the hospital. 

Navier sends a message: 

Code Red. Information on Andrés Hidalgo. Possible connection to Reina Ortiz. Bussiness partner? Attempted murderer? Lover? 

Andrés walks out of his room. He's talking on the phone. He wants to sell his apartment in Paris. He wants to be paid in Euros! 

Navier sneaks out of Estefania's room and sneaks into Andrés' room. Navier room raids it. He looks through drawers. He looks at documents. He looks to see if anything is hidden inside a book. I'm surprised he didn't flip over the mattress! He looks behind a painting and tada there is a safe! He scans the safe with an app on his phone. The app apparently gives him the passcode to open the safe. (I'm so confused as to how this was possible? Must be a good app. I'm gonna have to search for it at the app store) He takes out the contents of the safe - letters, a gun, and the incriminating photo of Andrés and Reina in Paris. He takes a pic of each of the contents of the safe. He puts the contents back. He puts the painting back. He hears Andrés and hides behind a curtain. Andrés grabs a letter. He walks over to the window and closes it. Navier is stuck on the edge of the roof. 

Navier winds up in the secret doll room. Navier picks up a doll with the name Stefy embroided in her dress. The doll has diamond eyes! 

He gets suspscious and sends a message: 

Code Red. Information on Estefania Perez Hidalgo. Diamonds. 

Andrés sees Navier coming down the stairs. He wants to know who he is. Why is he coming down the stairs as if he slept there? Well, Navier didn't actually sleep there. He could give Andres details over coffee. Is Navier the lover of Estefania? Navier doesn't like giving explanations nor being asked for them. Andrés had said he's the man of the house so Navier congratulates him for the lovely house. Andrés must have worked hard for it or he must have inherited it. Navier turns to leave and Andrés asks him if they've seen each other before. Navier doubts it. Andrés says he must have been mistaken then. 
HOSPITAL - WAITING ROOM

Victor informs Isidro that Estefania is on her way and to be alert. 

Juanjo is shown asking a nurse where he can find Lazaro.

Estefania: I still don't get why you wanted me to come. 
Victor: Greta is dying. I want you to say goodbye. Greta is YOUR daughter! Our daughter! 

Estefania is shocked! Shocked! We aren't shocked because well they made this pretty obvious. 

Estefania: What are you talking about? My daughter died. I held her in my arms...she was lifeless. 
Victor: That baby wasn't Greta. It wasn't YOUR daughter.
Estefania: That's a lie.
Victor: I wouldn't lie in a moment like this. 
Estefania: My daughter is dead. I visit her grave every week. I take flowers. I've grieved her death publicly and privately all these years. I've been suffering eternal heartbreak since the day she died. Don't you dare say those things! Don't say it!
Victor: Please..Greta is your daughter. She didn't die 20 years ago but she's dying now.

Estefania can't believe it. 

HOSPITAL - WAITING ROOM

Lazaro tries to give Susana a sedative. She doesn't want any sedatives. All she wants is to be told that her daughter will be alright. She needs her daughter by her side. She doesn't want her to die. She wants her to live. If Greta dies she will die too. Juanjo eavesdrops. 

HOSPITAL - GRETA'S HOSPITAL ROOM

Victor: I thought I'd never tell you. I thought I'd take this secret to the grave. But I think you should at least say goodbye to your daughter. And that if Greta leaves this world then her real mother should at least say goodbye. I'm sorry. 

Victor leaves.

Watch movies on Sunday afternoons while pigging out. Do you like action movies like me? How about flowers? The sunrise? Summer? Feeling the breeze on your face? The beach? Do you like dolls? You have a lot of dolls. I've bought you a lot all these years. Every year on your birthday, Christmas, New Years, every time I've missed you. I hope a doll can give you life like it did me. 

Estefania tells Greta that all these years she has called her "Stefy". She now has her daughter with her and she loves her. 

Susana barges into the room. She tells Estefania to get out. She's her real mother. She's been with Greta all these years because Estefania abandoned her. I never abandoned her!

She tries to put some last minute touches on the jacket. He tells her that he never thought he would love trying on a jacket. He leans in for the kiss but there's a knock on the door. Darn! He asks if he can use her bathroom. He levaes. Connie opens the door. It's Christian. He shows her his badge. He's come to talk about Reina. 

Connie has nothing to say about Reina. She kicks Christian out. Christian thinks it will be hard for Connie to find a hubby because of her attitude. He leaves. 

Isidro comes into the room. He loves women with an attitude especially those who rebel against the law. He loves women who are a seamstress. He loves women who go to the circus. He loves women who blush. He pulls her close to him. He loves women who live the moment. He caresses her legs. Connie loves this. He turns her around and tells her that he likes her. They smooch. Connie falls to the couch. Isidro leaves. Connie fans herself. 
HQ

Navier shows Smith the doll with the two diamonds for eyes. Estefania has a whole room full of them! Most are made of porcelin. He explains how he wound up in the secret doll room. Smith tells Navier that the two men he brought in were hired assasasins - one was to take care of Reina and the other was to take care of him. They don't know who sent them but they're investigating. Navier is starting to suspect Estefania. No one can be trusted. 

Navier tells Smith that Victor called Estefania and asked her to come to the hospital. He didn't know Estefania and Victor had a stillborn daughter. Smith tells Navier that their daughter is not dead. Their daughter is Greta. But her daughter was taken by Victor. If Victor confesses the truth to Estefania then she'll will want vengence more than ever, says Smith. 

Smith reaveals a part of Estefania's past: 

Estefania survived a family masscare. Her father was a a Colombian arms-trafficker. He gave her with all the luxuries as a child. A royal life. Estefania had it all and never needed to ask for anything. 

As she says all this we see images of newspaper from Bogota with the headlines: 

"Ausute De Cuentas: Muere Traficante De Armas y Su Mujer" (Score Settlemnet: Arms Trafficker and Wife Die) 

"Una Familia Destruida y Una Muñeca Que Llora" (A Destroyed Family and a Doll Who Cries) 

"Cara De Muñeca: La Niña Que Se Salvo De La Massacre" (Face of a Doll: The Girl Who Survived The Massacre) 

HOSPITAL - CHAPEL 

Estefania prays for Greta. She hasn't done this in a looooooooong time!

Susana comes in and tells Estefania not to pray. Whoever it is that decides their fate doesn't listen. 

Estefania now alone cries. God didn't listen to her when she asked him to save her family. Estefania wants God to save her daughter. She doesn't want to continue being merely a survivor. She wants to be alive. 

FLAHSBACK OF THE MASSACRE

Smith as narrator: One night her entire family was massacred. Assassins entered her home and killed everyone. She witnessed all of it while still a child. She saved her brother. He was adopted but she wasn't. They never saw each other again. How was spared from the massacre? Because she was such a pretty little girl that was able to hide among her doll collection. After that, she no longer had the life of a queen. She was out on the streets and at an orphanage and she had to hide because they wanted her dead. She then got a job as a waitress. Then as an exotic dancer. Then she posed nude for magazines. Eventually, she became a porn star until she met the tycoon Artemio Hidalgo and married him. That is the real Estefania Perez Hidalgo.

Navier: If she was capable to hold her breath and hold still among the dolls without crying or screaming. If she was able to do all that while being a child then she's capable of anything. Well, so am I. 

BIRDAL SHOP - OUTSIDE

Reina runs into Navier. Where you looking for someone? he asks her. I was looking for you, says Reina. 
REINA AND NAVIER IN THE CAR

How did he know where she was? Well, he called the cops and they told him she was safe and soun at the bridal shop. He thought that sooner or later she'd need him. She apologizes for calling him in a panic yesterday. It wasn't a mistake to call him though. He asks her where he should take her. She wants to go back to her old home. She'll be there for awhile. Alone? Yes. She doesn't want to put Clara in danger. She'll miss Clara. What about Victor? No, she won't miss him. Navier tells her that Greta is dying. Navier lets her know that he hasn't told Victor what happened to her beccause he's no traitor. 

HOSPITAL - WAITING ROOM

Christian tells Victor there is no news on Reina. 

Scumbag Boyfriend goes for coffee again! 

Carmen and Delfina show up. Carmen talks Spanglish and acts concerned. 

Doc comes out. There was a miracle. Greta is stable. She's still declitate but there is hope. 

Susana tells Estefania that she never take someone else's daughter. She always believed the mother abandoned her. Estefania tells Susana that she'd never abandoned her daughter. She was taken away from her. She's been dead inside ever since she thought that her daughter had died. 

Reina and Navier arrive. Reina comforts Victor. Reina tells Victor to have hope. He asks where she spent the night. She tells him that she's fine. She needs for him to be fine. She asks him to take care of Clara. She can't involve them in something that is against her and no one else. She has to remember because now its a matter of life or death. He tells her that he loves her. He needs her. He's going through a lot. His phone rings. It's Isidro. He

He has two news: 

One is that you-know-who was found dead. It was a settling of scores it seems. 

The second news has to do with Navier. 

CASINO

Andre is busy handling Miriam's melons. Knock on the door. Miriam covers up. She hopes it's not her hubby. It's Balboa. Andrés must come along with them. He's the prime suspect of the murder attempts against Reina.

RECAP IN ENGLISH 

Reina walks away from Javier and straight into the arms of a thug who grabs her, chloroforms her, and throws her in the trunk of his car. Javier sees it is about to happen, but before he can save Reina, a second thug intervenes and leaves him on the ground, somehow incapacitated.

The thug drives away, drumming a little victory rhythm on the steering wheel as he reports by phone that he has "the queen without a crown" and that Bolívar is under control. In the trunk, Reina comes to and pounds on the metal that surrounds her, calling for help. 

Javier comes to and looks around.

Reina grabs her cell phone. She pretends to be asleep when her captor checks on her. 

In his streeeeeeetch limo, the panorgasmic Stefi tells the diamond buyer she isn't for sale. She wants to know who the diamond is really for. He says it's better if she doesn't know: it's for someone that moves the world.

The buyer drops her off. Stefi tells Lopez that the buyer is offering to pay even more than she imagined; there's something more to this red diamond than meets the eye -- as rare and precious as it is -- and she's going to find out what it is.

Skanky Miriam (Lázaro's woman) shows good cop Christian into Andrés' office. Christian has a photo of Andrés and Reina together in Paris and asks what their connection is.

Intermission at the Aerial Circus. The gang mingles, scowls, flirts, threatens. Victor warns Greta's fiancé to make sure he does what he is supposed to do. Lazario gets a text message: the hospital has decided to give him a second chance! 

Reina calls Javier from the trunk of the car -- "Someone kidnapped me! They're going to kill me!" He tells her not to cut off the call for any reason: "Think -- what color is the car?"

Andrés smiles smarmily at Christian. "Oh, of course, Reina! We met at a fashion show... We were... ahem... lovers. I was separated from my wife at the time, and Reina wasn't married yet. It was one of those things that gentlemen don't discuss."

Christian leaves him with the photo.


FLASHBACK
Paris, France. (You can tell because Reina is wearing a red beret.)
Andrés introduces himself to Reina, who sits at a bistro table, apparently waiting for him. She says they met years ago when she came to the casino looking for Stefi after Reina's fiancé had been shot. But now she wants to talk about his father. He didn't die a natural death -- he was poisoned. She shows him a copy of the autopsy report.

She doesn't know who was responsible. But she refuses his offer to take over the search for the truth. She is on a path of no return, a path that will lead to the truth -- or to death.

No one else knows about this. Reina will talk to Andrés after her wedding in Las Vegas in one week. First she has to make sure her daughter's life is safe. 
Flashback over.
Skanky Miriam offers Andrés a drink and a lap dance.

Javier tries to calm Reina. He tells her again not to hang up. He will call 911 from another phone. He is at the agency and Rocky is following his lead.

Greta's putz of a fiancé tells some guy, must be her boss, that it would be best if Greta were fired after his wedding -- he doesn't want a wife who flies through the air. "Just name your price." Greta overhears this and is furious. She kicks the putz to the curb.

Javier encourages Reina -- she's a fighter. "Try to remember the color of the car." She remembers -- it was sand-colored. "How fast was it going?" "Fast." "What sounds did she hear?" "It sounded like a street." 

"What about the man?" "Not too tall, dark complexion."

"Are you still on the street?" "No, on a highway."

Rocky wants to call the police. Javier tells him not to -- they'll get her killed. He keyboards furiously. 

Images of Greta performing, jubilant, high in the air.

Stefi sits in her dollhouse and does googles. She reads about the Curse of the Red Diamond. As she reads about the possible link of the beautiful gem to suffering and death...

...the audience at the circus gasps at the horror unfolding before their eyes. Greta loses control and falls from a great height. She lands on the grand piano with enough force to smash the instrument and send the pianist reeling backwards.

As Stefi's voiceover continues -- the curse is invoked when one of the three diamonds is separated from the others -- Victor and Susana watch helplessly as the paramedics rush Greta away.

Stefi continues reading -- only a woman, a goddess, is safe from the curse.

Now Javier is speeding in his car towards Reina. "Don't hang up the phone!"

The kidnapper's car stops in front of a house. The driver pulls Reina roughly from the trunk. She lets her phone fall to the ground. He sees it and stomps on it, and then hits her hard. Unnoticed by either of them, her cross falls to the ground. Her tormentor blindfolds her and forces her into the house.

Javier reports to Smith that they have lost the signal. He'll go to the last location he has.

Stefi tells Lopez she is going to sell the red diamond. If she doesn't, that man will try to kill her, like he tried to kill Victor de Rosas. "Listen carefully..."

Andrés, sated, dismisses Miriam. He stares at the Paris photo.

Reina's tormentor doesn't know why he has been ordered to kill her, but he can tell her that someone wants her to suffer. He calls on a second man, a lanky black man with a shaven head, and the two tie Reina to a chair. 
Javier drives up to the cell phone location and spots the smashed phone.

Reina begs for her life. The thug ties a gag around her mouth.

Javier finds the cross.

The thug begins her torture. He puts a tin pail on her head. Here's the game: if he hits the pail, she wins; if he misses, she dies. He aims his gun... Outside Javier hears a shot.

Victor blames Susana for Greta's accident. She says she'll kill herself if something happens to Greta. He says she won't have to -- he'll kill her himself.

The doctor calls the family of Greta de Rosas: she has very bad news.

The thug cackles maniacally. Did Reina pee her pants? That time he just fired into the air. The next time, he'll aim for the pail. POW! He shoots the pail off her head. Reina cowers silently.

SuperJavier bursts in, guns blazing, dispatching the shooter and at least two more of his henchmen. He is shot in the thigh. He tears off his leather jacket.

Lázaro reports back to work, coincidentally at the very hospital where Greta has been transported. He enters her room with some supplies just in time to witness a cardiac arrest. The team of doctors begins defibrillation...

...Javier removes his shirt, exposing his beautifully sculpted upper body and incidentally, using the shirt as a tourniquet for his leg. His gun is out of bullets. Reina's chair has toppled over and she lies on the floor, helpless, still gagged and blindfolded. One of the bad guys takes aim at Javier, but our boy overpowers him with his wits and his strength. What a guy!

Stefi and Lopez meet the buyer in some dark creepy place. He has at least half a dozen burly guys with him. He shows her the contents of two briefcases of cash. She signals to Lopez to hand over the black pouch. The buyer takes the ginormous red stone from the pouch and holds it up to the light. The deal is done. Everyone turns to leave.

But wait! A red laser target lights up in the darkness! Men in black masks are shooting and the buyer's gang is returning fire. Stefi crouches on the floor and covers her ears.

Javier limps over to Reina, straightens up the chair she is still tied to, and removes her gag. "Are you going to kill me? Who are you?"

Instead of answering her or removing her blindfold, HE CHLOROFORMS HER. "Perdón," he whispers. Then Rocky enters with a cadre of agents and they take charge of the scene.

The bullets fly around Stefi's head.

FLASHBACK
A little girl cowers among the dolls on her bed and sees a man in a black mask murder her parents. The murderer, seemingly unaware of her presence, removes his mask. She sees his face.

When the man leaves, the girl goes to the closet and pulls out a small boy who has been concealed inside. She hugs him.

"You can come out now! Hurry up." Lopez, left standing in a room of corpses, calls to his boss. Stefi walks over to the buyer's body, crouches down and takes the diamond pouch from his pocket. Then she and Lopez make a run for it, each grabbing one of the suitcases of cash.

Christian arrives at the hospital. Victor tells him Greta is in very bad shape. Susana joins them to report that the doctors were able to resuscitate her, but her injuries are so serious that only a miracle can save her. They say she should pray -- but to whom?

Isidro tells Victor that Reina is gone and nobody knows where she is.

Javier carries the still unconscious Reina to a fainting couch in her bridal salon. He strokes her face gently and tells her that despite her betrayal, despite his disillusionment, the love that didn't exist, despite prison, she is still his Reina (sigues siendo mi reina). With her he lived the best of times and the worst of times. That's why -- he pauses to put the cross in the palm of her hand -- in spite of everything, he still loves her.

Their love song swells.
