Episode 07 - Pecado Capital (deadly sin)

This episode starts with a man lying in bed, a girl walks out of the bathroom, I think they just had sex. "where have you been all this time" and apparently this is the first time. The man goes to the bathroom and the girl quickly reaches for his cellphone and makes a phone call. She speaks a language I don't understand, luckily, we have subtitles. She's talking to her mother "Mom, I was fooled, I'm in another country, I'm in Mexico, please help me mummy." Human traffic? The man walks out of the bathroom and notices the girl was talking to someone "who are you talking to?" she runs, he goes after her.

She runs downstairs ah, this is sort of a brothel,
a very luxurious house filled with rich men and beautiful women.


The girl walks out but they catch her. Meet Zaide, the owner. To avoid any problems she tells the man this night is on her, he can do whatever he wants with a girl of his choice. Creepy.


Inside Zaide insists to know who she was talking to but the girl doesn't speak spanish. It sound Russian to me but I'm not betting anything. They call a bilingual girl to help and she says she was talking to her family and didn't say anything about Zaide's pimping business.


At Capadocia Federico meets with Bambi in a private room. He wants her to start dealing inside, Bambi agrees but demands her own staff, people she trusts. She wants La Negra, the currupt security guard who was left behind at the old prison. Federico says Bambi is in no place to make demands but she knows she is and tells Federico he's the only one with something to lose, not her.


Meet Carla, the fake hostage from last week's episode.


Santiago goes over to Teresa's house. That used to be his house. He brings her a bottle of wine, wants a second chance and says he has a weekend planned at her favourite hotel. Teresa doesn't understand, Santiago reminds her today would be their 19th anniversary.

Santiago:
So you see, i remember.
Teresa: 19 years and you never did.

Teresa suspects Santiago just needs "to be married" to be elected president.
At Capadocia Magos noticies Lorena isn't feeling well. She has a fever and is taken to the medical ward. And there tcharaaaam there's Bambi, stealing some medicine she'll need to
produce the drugs. With the security's permission. Everyone's corrupt here, jesus. Lorena watches everything and she's now part of it. Or has to be. Lorena says she didn't see anything.


Back at the brothel the "russian girl" is now everyone's free gift. Zaide get's a message "the merchandise has arrived" and by that they mean 4 Czech girls. When Santiago is leaving Teresa's house, Jose is arriving with some documents that will help then on Antonia's case. Santiago gets jealous so he calls Isabel for that weekend. Daniel is now dating Andrea-the-problem-child. This is La Colombiana's foot under the table and in front of her is Bambi. It adds nothing to the story but ...



Marta is the first to ask for Bambi's dealing services. But she has nothing to give in return.


Marta: I'll do whatever it takes.
Bambi:
Ok you'll do something for me.

Marta agrees and Bambi nods at Lorena ... Marta's job is to kill her.


Marta:
Don't fuck me Bambi, she didn't do anything.

Bambi insists and that's how it goes.
La Colombiana looks sad. I think she likes Lorena. At Lorena's table Magos wants to know why they didn't give her any medication, Lorena says they didn't let her in, Magos asks why and as Lorena says
"I don't know" Bambi shows up from behind and throws a glass of water at Lorena grabs her and whispers "you're dead".


La Colombiana is worried.


At the brothel Zaide goes check on the "russian girl". She finds her all beaten and bruised. "See, that's what you get for misbehaving. Do you know how many girls would give anything to be in you place?" ... Really? Maybe I should just quit everything and move to Mexico.


"Here you have everything, jewls, money, food. Back home you were starving. You should thank me for getting you out of that hell."
So this is heaven, i suppose?


Teresa and Jose are trying hard to find a way to legally remove Antonia from the male prison. Daniel calls and wants to talk to Teresa but Teresa says she's busy. "Don't say I didn't try to talk to you then." I think he wants to talk about Andrea.

At the brothel we're now in a room with 4 girls making out with eachother, Zaile and a man watch, they talk but i swear I don't remember what they were talking about, i tried watching the scene again but still ... I can't focus.










3, 2 ,1 ok I'm back. The man hands Zaide the girls passports, she hides them behind a huge mirror. The russian girl watches at the door she needs her passport to run away. Then the man joins the girls in bed and the hotness rate drops back to zero.

Lorena is still very sick and with a fever. Magos takes care of her and wants to know why Bambi did that at lunchtime.


Marta is taken to Bambi. She gets the drugs and now she must kill Lorena.
She goes to her cell, sniffs the product (i'm not a religious person but i'm not an addict either) and we see Selma, as Marta's imagination.



But that's just it, her imagination. Next we see Selma on the street and she is selling drugs at plain sight, the cops are just across the street. She doesn't seem to mind.
The "Russian girl" (I've been calling her russian all the time but i don't know if she is, no offense eh) sneaks
into Zaide's room and grabs a business card with the name and address of the brothel. She is russian afterall. She calls someone (the police maybe?) and manages to spell out the name of the place.

Marta is finding it hard to carry out her part of the deal (kill Lorena) and on the streets Selma's boyfriend is mad at her because he had to bribe the police so she wouldn't get arrested. I think i have mentioned before that maybe that's what she really wanted so she'd go back inside next to Marta.


Lorena goes to Bambi and apologises, I don't know what for an
d neither does she. But it's always good to apologise when someone wants to kill you. Magos says she swears to say nada, about nothing to no one. Nada de nada de nada. Bambi says if she really wants to be forgiven she must be in with her on the drug dealing business. Lorena refuses and leaves.

At the male prison Gerardo visits Antonia and slaps her.
Antonia is already bruised it's obvious she's beeing abused inside. She believes if Gerardo hit her is because he still wants her. Gerardo says he doesn't.


Gerardo:
Why didn't you tell me you were a man?
Antonia:
Was a man, now I'm a woman.

We can see some facial hair now on Antonia, she mentioned on episode 6 to Teresa th
at they wouldn't let her take her hormones, maybe that's why.
Gerardo hits Antonia again ... no one seems to care, he eventually leaves. As he walks out another inmate approaches him and tells him
that he can count on him to do whatever he wants to Antonia inside.

At Zaide's maison the police raid the place and everyone's taken away. The russian girl manages to hide and escapes. Zaide is arrested. See you in Capadocia.


Marta goes to Bambi for another dose, apparently the one Bambi gave her wasn't good enough (no? but it made you hallucinate) To me, if you hallucinate than that's powerful stuff. But I'm not into drugs. Drug-virgin.


Bambi wants Marta's part of the deal done tonight.
Marta talks to Teresa about Selma. Marta asks if the only way to see Selma again will be if Selma is arrested. No! Teresa tells her Capadocia is a one time opportunity, if you re
cur, you're not going to Capadocia. Bad news for Selma who is trying so hard to get caught.

40 minutes into the episode and we finally see Isabel. I shouldn't post the screenshot. I'm still depressed over the fact that she's Santiago's lover. Oh and she mentions she'll be back in 3 days which means she accepted Santiagos offer. Bitch.


Teresa goes to Isabel's freaky control room. She's watching some pictures of Isabel and ... Remember the tattoo Isabel has on her shoulder? Teresa notices that.


Then we see another flashback from when Teresa saw Santiago with another woman ... She didn't know who the woman was but ... she remembers one thing. The tattoo.


Teresa finds out for the first time that Isabel was the woman she saw Santiago with. She goes to her office and cries. Jose walks in, they go to what i think it's Jose home and Teresa admits that she's so fond of Lorena because she went through something similiar .

Teresa:
Remeber when we first met? The day before, I had found Santiago with another woman, I never knew who she was, until today. It's Isabel. I don't know why it affects me so much but I can't get it out of my head (....) and he puts us working together. How perverse, no?

Jose:
(...) That night i thought we were together over a mutual attraction, but now i see you used me, just for revenge.

Teresa is offended and storms out. Jose, what an ass.

At Capadocia everyone goes back to their cells, but Magos is not allowed, security tells her she has to go somewhere, so Lorena goe
s alone. She sits on her bed and when the lights go off BAM Marta emerges from the sheets. That scared me. "I've got a message from Bambi" she tries to strangle Lorena but chickens out and then says "Bambi is going to kill me".

Lorena asks Marta to take her to Bambi's headquarters. La Colombiana is there sniffing some stuff, she looks high but waves at Lorena. Lorena is there to offer her help. She was a chemist outside, she knows how to make the drugs. Bambi doesn't care at first and threatens her but la Colombiana has a seizure, from the drugs, and Lorena saves her. When they're all going back to their cells Bambi asks Lorena what did she want to talk about before. She offers her help, Bambi knows she won't do it for free, Lorena says she wants some of the drugs to herself.

Teresa ends up sleeping with Daniel, and Jose (I have no idea how) ends up sleeping with the Russian Girl.


Marta is finally allowed to talk to Selma. Selma admits she misses Marta and tried to get caught but her boyfriend took care of it. Marta tells her to behave, because
she won't be allowed in Capadocia.


And that's the end of episode 7.
