CUIDADO CON EL ANGEL CAP 104

There are memories

that get wrapped up in tears

Next to the fear

of falling in love again

My voice had lost

Any sense when I spoke

And just from hearing you

Just from seeing you

Love starts again

You’re the light

The only one that can touch this heart

There’s no one else but you

lighting the stars inside of me

I shall follow you

wherever you may go

Since no one else

Looks at me like you do

Only you…

It’s you

Only you...

You already have your daughter Mayita,

and you're going to share your life
with another woman,

you're getting married, and I don't fit into your life.

Leave. Forget about us.

I will never forget you or my son.

And why not?

Because I love you with all of my soul.

Yes, Marichuy. You too.

Because, even if you can't believe it...

I'm still in love with you.

You, replace Alejandra?

It would be just for tonight, and-

You won't be able to play the lead.

Am I that bad an actress?

This is a character of many colors.

And with a physical disadvantage.

Oh, please! This is my chance to show you

that I can be a good performer!

I get to be the actress, and you don't
dissapoint your audience.

Since Ms. Alejandra is busy taking care
of her sick child.

No, Ana Julia. Forget about it.

I'm better off canceling the show.

It wouldn't be honest to replace the lead

since people already paid their tickets

to see Alejandra Robles. Not you.

I know, you're right about that.

But you could explain to the audience that

there's been an emergency

and you needed to replace Alejandra Robles.

Even if I brought in a famous celeb,

the audience would riot.

And you're... and unknown. A nobody.

You've barely had three roles on TV.

But-

That's enough. I've already made my decision.

The show will resume tomorrow or the next day.

Until Alejandra can return.

Alright, sir.

I just wanted to help.

Since there's no work today,

I'll go visit Ms. Alejandra to see how
her baby is doing, ok?

Excuse me.

Damn, you're fine

but what a bad actress...

You... You shouldn't say that, Juan Miguel.

It is the truth. The only thing I know for real.

I can't forget you, Marichuy.

I won't ever be able to forget you.

I still feel your gentle caresses on my skin.

My blood calls for you. Clamors for you.

She who taught me to love.

Do you remember?

Because you didn't know what true love was.

Crazy ideas from a long time ago.

You drowned me in sorrow.

Yes but...

I wish I could relive those kisses...

And after that night, I kept calling for you.

Each step I took, without realizing it, Marichuy...

You burrowed yourself deep within my heart.

You're everywhere I have ever wished for.

In my sleepless nights.

On the caresses that never left my hands.

In the words I never got to tell you.

That I repeat in silence because I love you.

I love you with my whole soul.

Shut up... Stop it...

It could all be sunshine and rainbows, Juan Miguel...

But the thing is, there's another woman.

A broad that you can't bring yourself to leave.

You won't leave her, will you?

Not cool! Snow White spent all night
alone in the forest, right?

That's how it happened.

But, as the day broke, the birds began to chirp

and every forest critter got close to Snow White.

That's when Snow White realized,

the eyes in the darkness were just owls,
rabbits, and other critters.

So she got on her feet and said to herself:

"I have to go back to the castle."

But she was still lost, and she walked for miles,

until she came to a clearing.

To her surprise, the clearing took her
to a tiny house, with tiny doors and windows.

Curious, Snow White entered the tiny house.

She came across a table with seven tiny plates,
surrounded by seven tiny chairs.

Upstairs, she found
a row of seven tiny beds.

When the night fell, the seven dwarves
returned from work.

They were greated with a pleasant smell.

Snow White had made a big pot of food!

The dwarves were pleased with the food,

and then headed to their bedroom.

But they were surprised to find Snow White
laying in a row of beds, sound asleep.

What's next, gran-gran Marianita?

Gee, this tale made me realize how late it was!

You have to go.

What about the story?

We'll continue later. They're probably
worried since you've been here for a long while.

Everyone's used to me being in the attic by now!

It's time for you to go, either way.

Come, give me a kiss.

See you later!

Good evening, father!

Is this a bad time, father?

What brings you here?

Who did you come to see here?

God our Lord, or me?

To tell you the truth, it's both!

But I need to have a serious talk with you, father.

I'm listening.

Well, you better get ready to hand out our prenuptials.

So we're talking about that!

Vicente has his first art exhibition.

He'll ask me to marry him afterwards,

And you're going to oversee the wedding!

That's great, Rocío, congratulations!

Thanks, father!

Marichuy, if you ask me, I'll leave her.

I'll never ask you to do that,

but what I'll ask for you is to leave us alone.

I can't... Alone-

Stop ruining my life! Have your life

and let me live mine!

Even if there's nothing between us, Marichuy,

our son is in the middle of all this.

Well, I don't want to share the baby with you.

So you better get used to the idea of him
never having been born, understand?

Marichuy, I can't. I'm his father.

You have Mayita!

He's my son too, you can't keep me
away from him.

I have a legal and sentimental rights over him.

I love him!

Again with that!? How could you love him

if you've only seen him three times?

Knowing he was born from you is enough.

I fortunately have Mayita, who I love dearly,

but this baby makes me feel something special,

since he came from you and me, Marichuy.

He's the son of our love.

No! He's mine alone, now get lost!

I'm not giving up, Marichuy.

I won't renounce what is mine and
who I wish to keep in my life.

Get lost! Make like a tree, and forget the
road you took to get here!

A little help, friender.

What are you doing, Mayita?

Granny? You scared me, you almost
never come here.

I've always wondered why you

spend so much time in this attic.

There's nothing here for you to play with.

It doesn't matter, since the dog is here

we play and have fun in here.

Too bad I can't play with you.

I don't feel so well, still.

I'm feeling so down, and...

I think no one loves me in this house.

Like your dad.

Why do you say that?

Has your dad told you something about me?

No, why?

I told him you were sad and that
you shouldn't leave the house.

But he had to go, and he didn't want to
talk about it.

See what I mean?

It pains me so much, down to my very soul...

The fact that I won't see you in a long time.

Don't cry, grandma...

You'll make me cry, too.

You're still a sweet, innocent girl...

You don't know the pain adults go through...

But-

I can assure you, it hurts to your very soul.

I wish... You never go through something like this...

Suffering being apart from the people I love
more than anything else!

I love you grandma Onelia! I don't want you to leave...

Here's the child's medicine.

They're basically what Juan Miguel prescribed...

Thank you very much, Omar.

I'll come back tomorrow to check on my son.

You told me it wasn't that bad,
why would you come back?

I'll come every day.

You don't have to. You could make a phone call...

Or you could forget about the kid.

I'm watching over him.

I'll come back, anyway.

What did he say?

He's still going on his rights over my boy,

and I don't want the crumbs of whatever
he decides to give us.

I don't want that!

I'm offering you and your child everything, Marichuy.

I learned to address you by your real name,
did you notice?

After all, it's a pretty name...

Marichuy... Maria de Jesus.

A peaceful name...

The Virgin, and her son.

Hey honey, I've talked with Father Anselmo,

and he told me he just needs the date
of our wedding,

then he'll have our documents ready,

and after that, everything that's left

is that you ask for my hand!

Wha-? How? What for?

You know, you ask for my hand and that's that.

What am I gonna ask your hand for?

How do you expect us to get married
if you don't ask for my hand?

Well, your brother already knows
we love each other!

I don't care, I want you to ask me like
every couple has done so before!

Bah, that's so old fashioned,

no one does that, it's dumb.

-You'd better forget-
-Vicente.

Vicente.

I'm being serious here.

I don't know what you're gonna do, kiddo,

but you better get prepared to propose to me.

Do you understand?

I want to get married and have
the wedding of my dreams!

C'mon, dear...

Yes, dear.

Yes, dear.

I love you because you always get
the last word.

Then the baby is doing well?

He still has some rashes, but otherwise ok.

Best of all, I don't have to take his temperature.

Please, take a seat.

Thank you.

You should get him medical insurance for
the new generation.

Then if he gets sick again,

you can take him to any hospital.

Yeah, I have heard about that.

That way, you'd be insured, too.

That probably costs a lot...

For people who can afford it.

Us on the lower end of the scale, not so much.

Just take him to the corresponding station,

and he's in.

Well, ok then. If that's how it is...

And I register in, too.

I was so worried when Mr. Robles told me

there would be no show since your child was sick.

I told him he could get a replacement!

Yeah, he told me that, but he was so worried...

I volunteered to take your place.

You can't imagine how many tickets we had sold!

Are you an actress, too?

Really? I've never seen you on TV...

I'm just out of luck...

Some small roles here and there.

But since I can afford it, I help
with production instead.

Then why didn't you perform tonight?

Mr. Robles wouldn't allow it.

He did make a good point:

People paid their ticket expecting
Alejandra Robles.

It would be a scam to give them
some other actress instead...

The audience wants you!

No, you! Don't you get it?

But you're the star!

The stars are in the sky!

Here on earth we're all just people.

In the eye of God, we're all equal, yes?

Pay attention to her.

She truly means it!

What do you say? Sisters?

Alrighty!

I hope you know what we came here for,
Dr. San Roman.

My wife and I have come here to ask

for the hand of your sister Rocío in marriage,

on behalf of our son Vicente.

It'll be my pleasure to give my blessings.

I know they love each other deeply,

and I hope they're happy ever after.

I expect that they continue to
understand and respect each other.

It looks like you're officially engaged!

Well, a toast to this occasion?

Yeah! Toast! Toast!

After all, we might be celebrating two weddings...

Am I right?

When are you marrying Ms. Silva, Dr. San Roman?

We don't know yet.

To the engaged couple!

Cheers!

Sweet dreams, my darling.

Thank God you're getting better.

Sleep tight, your guardian angels are
watching over you!

How's he doing?

He gets better each day!

So you can come back to the theater!

It's been too long since we've had a show!

Yeah, fine!

Good. When?

Tomorrow.

The rehearsal for the new play?

Yeah, tomorrow too.

Thank god!

Yeah. I know I have a responsability to you.

And I'll come through, as long as I can
take care of my baby.

Ok...

I'll be able to go tomorrow.

Now, thank the heavens, thank God, thank the Virgin...

My baby is not in danger anymore!

Thank all the saints!

Yeah, totally!

No, Cosme, her name is Marichuy.

She had been married to my friend
Juan Miguel San Roman.

And of course, the son is his.

I loved Juan Miguel as I would a brother!

But he was married to Lirio.

And she never told me who was her ex-husband.

Saying false names, and then clamming up.

Keeping me fooled!

You don't have to get upset over broads, boss.

It hurts me, Cosme.

I'm hurt as if it happened to me.

That girl sure is a piece of work!

Don't say that!

I mean, it's true, but I won't allow you to say that.

Alright, boss.

Aren't you gonna sleep?

No, I'm staying here for a while...

You can go.

Alright, boss. See you tomorrow.

Thanks for the drink.

See you, Cosme. Thanks for watching out for me.

Good night.

Bonsour.

You!?

I see you remember me, mon amour.

Ivette...

Is that really you?

Of course, what did you think?

That I may be a ghost?

It can't be...

Do you want to touch me?

Maybe a kiss, to find out if I'm real?

I didn't mean to lose you, Marichuy.

No mother wishes to lose her daughter.

You don't think it hurt giving you away?

As they took you, I felt I was giving away
what was left of my life!

Help me God, please!

I need your help...

Placate my daughter's feelings...

Let Marichuy forgive me!

Let her see the mother who only gave her away...

Because she thought it was for the best.

Help me, God.

Have mercy!

Leave me alone.

You act as if I was a snake about to bite,
mon amour.

What's the matter, you don't like the feeling

of my skin against yours?

How did you get here? How could it be?

I've been tracing your steps.

You can't imagine how.

I couldn't bear living far from you.

The thought of existing without you!

Just remembering you...

I needed your kisses, your caresses,
like they were the air I breathe.

I needed to feel your passion again.

I need you to keep my heart beating.

That's why I've been searching you, my dear Omar...

Why do you leave me?

Look at me.

You poor thing... You cannot escape me.

I did, once.

But you bring me wherever you go.

No matter how far you run, I'm still inside you.

When love is true, the one and only in life,

it grows with time.

Until it drags you into heaven!

You dragged me into hell!

And I got away.

You won't sink me again.

Marichuy knows Patricio and I are his parents.

So I've heard.

I also know that there was a heated arguement

between Mr. Patricio and Maria de Jesus.

Yes. Very heated.

Just imagine. You know how she is.

She's a good girl, but with a strong attitude.

Your husband probably couldn't understand her.

He didn't know how to be loving and tender.

Unlike most fathers.

I went to my daughter's, with a better
attitude than Patricio's...

And I couldn't win her over, father.

I went to see Marichuy.

I may have been foolish for some years...

But you brought me the hellfire.

Until an angel managed to pull me away.

I don't like angels. I think we should keep talking
about you and me.

We're already talking about us.

It will never be the same between us.

Why not, Omar?

I'm in love with another woman.

She won't forgive me, father...

I mean, she may forgive my actions, but...

She treats me as a stranger, who caused her harm...

She acts coldly, without any love...

Do you understand me?

Forgiveness without love...

What does that matter, father?

Don't cry, Mrs. Cecilia. You don't need to suffer.

God is in heaven, and he can help you.

I was there, begging for his help...

Before I came to see you.

I hope God has mercy on me...

That he lets Marichuy understand, someday...

I may have been too harsh to Mrs. Cecilia.

I want to be more friendly, but...

I can't do it!

She abandons me as a newborn...

And then, when that man kicked me out
like I was some kind of filthy thief...

How could she let it happen?

I wish I could forgive her, by God...

But that feeling is bigger than me.

I thought I would find you here.

It pains me seeing you suffer over that girl.

If it was for me, I would do anything

so that she could accept you as her mother.

Come on. We have to go.

Let's go home.

It's gonna be fine...

I brought you a bottle,

if he wakes up in the middle of the night

and he's hungry- What's wrong?

It's time to go to dreamland!

I'm drowning in emotions, Cande.

As much as I want it, I can forgive her...

Forgive who?

Who else? My parents!

Oh dear...

It's just like that song...

What happened, happened.

And I happened to feel uncomfortable in that pose...

Look, if I were you...

I'd like to live the good life, feeling loved...

It's been a hard life, but it's time to move on!

You're asking me to move on at this point?

I can't, Cande...

As much as I want to, I can't!

In that case, tough luck. Sucks to be you.

The prim and proper Mrs. Cecilia loves you a lot!

No matter what faces you do, she loves you a lot!

I'm in love with another woman.

Who is it!?

That 'angel' that pulled you out of hell?

Yes, exactly, that angel!

And who is it?

A better woman than you!

A girl named Marichuy.

Marichuy...

Marichuy...

He's sleeping like a baby!

What should I do if anyone comes?

Who?

Who else? El Leopardo!

or San Roman. Or your mom.

All of them want to barge in

and look after the baby...

And I don't want to get on your bad side...

Tell them that they can't come in
when I'm not here.

To all of them?

To all of them.

Not even the baby daddy?

Specially him.

What about your mom, Marichuy?

I said no ones.

If I'm honest...

I feel so sorry for your mom...

If you had seen how she held your son the other day...

Crying tears of excitement...

-Kissing him tenderly-
-Shut up!

Cande. Shut up already, ok?

She's the grandmother, Marichuy!

If I don't love her as a mother,

how could she play the role
of the grandmother of MY baby, huh?

But she is the real deal grandma of that child!

That stops right now!

I can't have her taking a liking to my baby!

It's the same deal with Juan Miguel.

I don't want him to be with my baby!

Well, that must be one of the aforementioned.

Let's see how you handle it.

SURPRISE!

Rocío! How are you?

Come on in! How are you doing?

I'm fine, I must say. As far as it matters.

So, how are you?

I'm super, thanks for asking!

Sorry, I'm a bit bamboozled right now.

Marichuy, we wanted to come see you for so long...

We brought some gifts for the baby!

Oh cool! Many thanks!

Hello, hello!

Hi Cande!

-How are you?
-Congrats to the happy mom!

Had to keep it a secret, huh?

Where's the baby?

He's in the bedroom...

We wanted to see him!

It's just... He just had the measles-

-No, it's fine, I've already had measles.
-Me too.

Come on, Marichuy, I wanna see my nephew!

It's the most beautiful boy you've ever seen!

Right, Cande?

Alright, alright, come on in.

Thanks for the gifts. You didn't have to.

Come on in.

Oh! Becky, look!

Hi, baby!

-Looks like an angel!
-So cute!

He's a healthy pink!

-He just had measles, remember?
-Oh, right...

May I hold him a moment, please?

-Hi, hi dear!
-He just woke up.

I'm your aunt, dearie!

Be careful, he's still a newborn!

Look!

I'll have a baby just like you someday!

You're making him cry, Becky!

He's really cute, Marichuy.

You must be proud of yourself.

You bet I'm proud and happy of myself!

Marichuy, don't you think it's selfish
having him all for yourself?

What are you searching for, boss?

Do you want to find that woman you told me about?

I don't know, Cosme. I'm not sure.

What worries me about Ivette...

It was something she said:

"I swear you'll hear about me again."

What did she mean by that?

Beats me, boss.

It kept me up all night thinking.

Good evening.

Two tequilas, please.

Drinking at a time like this?

To wash down last night's incident.

What a coincidence, that she could find me.

I wonder where she's living at right now?

Are you gonna visit her?

Of course not! She's the same as always.

Same face, same semblance, same laugh...

The same demon she's always been.

It's not fair keeping him to yourself,

or never telling us he was going to be born.

Why did you leave, Marichuy?

Hiding out like you did...

Please tell me...

Why didn't you want us finding out about him...

A bundle of joy!

I mean, we've always been friends.

I was afraid they would take him away.

Who would take him?

Juan Miguel would!

Do you think he would dare?

I'm not sure.

I'm still not sure about rights fathers have
over their children.

I was just scared, see.

Marichuy, please...

But I do know a person's name and money,

Are worth too much.

And I have neither of those.

No money, no fame, no connections...

Justice really does look the other way sometimes.

You're still the same silly girl as always.

Laugh all you want, but the only thing that's truly mine,

the only thing I know for real is mine and mine alone,

is my baby.

And I'll fight tooth and nail to defend him!

If only I could go back to the ranch...

Can I give you some friendly advise, boss?

Alright, shoot.

When it comes to women, being soft doesn't work.

You have to be tough with them.

No, Cosme, that's not how it is...

Listen to me! If a man looks like he's
been defeated by life,

women toss him to the side.

They can tie you down and
drag you around as they please!

You have to establish your superiority.

Be the alpha dog! Be more macho!

She'll see how you've got that other woman,

and she'll come back right at you!

Hopefully, he'll stay docile, yeah?

Yeah.

He stays calm, then you stay calm.

Yeah...

Anyways, if he starts getting out of hand,

you can call me at the theater, right Cande?

Yes...

I'll be rehearsing that new thing,

then I have to stay to perform the usual,

just like the other night, got it?

Don't you worry, girl.

Yo. What are you doing here?

I came for you!

What are you talking about?

Pack up. Hurry!

You lost me...

We're going back to my ranch, right now!

How is the world's greatest dad doing?

Feeling like a million dollars, because
I'm the father of the world's greatest daughter!

But she bears a sad face that I don't like at all.

What's wrong, dear?

I came here... I want to talk to you, daddy.

I'm listening. What happened?

It just so happens that...

Come on, let's go-

Did you lose your marbles or something?

No. Nothing like that.

Time's up. The game's over.

Who's playing a game? Not me!

Oh, you've been playing with me,

with my love, my feelings, my patience,

and I've had enough!

Do you think I'm stupid or something?

Since the easy way didn't work,

there's no other way but the hard way!

You're gonna do what I say!

And I say, we go back to the ranch!

Alright, what's going on here?

I've never seen you like that, what's the deal?

Ok, you, Lala or whatever-

My name is Candelaria.

Alrigth then. Pack our things. We're leaving.

What are you waiting for? Go, go!

Omar, I can't go to your ranch right now.

Why not?

You know, the play, the theater-

The theater?

I'm an actress, and I'm rehearsing
a very important play, you know?

So it was true...

Juan Miguel took me to the theater,

and you were on stage!

So, an actress. Whythe hell
would you become an actress?

Because I like being an actress!

I had to earn my livelihood somehow.

You won't need anything when
you are by my side.

I'll provide for you, your son,

and for Candelala or whatever.

I told you, it's Candelola.

Uh, I mean, Candelaria!

You know what, Marichuy,

from this day on, you'll leave
acting behind.

You're never going back to acting, ever!

Yeah, sure.

When's the wedding?

It's gonna be soon, with all that preparation, right?

Not so soon, cousin.

We're waiting until after Vicente's exhibition.

I'm still working on some paitings,
but I'm getting there.

Well, you'll finish before two months pass...

What a shame...

Why's that?

By then, I'll be already dead.

Now, now, don't say that...

You know death keeps no calendar.

You shouldn't say that,

you know you're feeling better now.

Well, keep talking about our group,

I've been so out of touch, I barely know
what's been happening up to now.

Well, the lastest news are that

Marichuy gave birth to a beautiful baby!

You don't say! Juan Miguel's?

Yes! She didn't want us to find out, though.

But I went to see him, you won't believe
how cute he is!

Almost like a doll!

Now that's a surprise!

Well then, I think we have to go back.

We've been outside all day.

I have to go back to my paintings,

but you know that I'll visit you any time, Nelson.

And you better be in good spirits, got it?

I'll settle for seeing you again.

Goodbye, Mr. Painter.

Goodbye, Mr. Poet.

What's the matter, darling?

I'm asking you, pretty please...

Don't let grandma Onelia leave the house!

Ugh...

Please dad, forgive her if she did something bad...

Let her stay with us!

May I be of service?

Answer me, did you leave the house last night?

Hey, hold up! What are you doing?

I'll take the boy to the truck,

and I'll wait for you there.

-No, no, no, no...
-Unhand that baby!

You better stay there!

Omar, look at what you're doing!

You've never seen a mare following their foal
wherever it may go?

So you better follow me!

You're not getting out of here with my son!

You can lead the way if you want,

but we're leaving right now!
