Mónica: Es un pariente de mi madre...
Juan: Soy Juan de Alcazar...
Marcelo: Ya se.. lo vi en la iglesia..
Juan: Yo tambien! Lo que mi esposa le dijo no es verdad! Quiere protegerme para evitar que vuelva a prision. Pero yo estoy dispuesto a asumir las consecuencias de mis actos.
Marcelo: Si fuera asi, no se habria fugado, sino que hubiera esperado que su inocencia fuera demostrada.
Juan: Me sustraje a la accion de la justicia en rebeldia a una sentencia injusta.
Marcelo: Ya veo que el Lic. Mancera lo ha instruido muy bien. Yo se que el profugo no es sancionado si se comprueba su inocencia, pero siempre y cuando en la fuga no se hayan cometido actos delictivos. Y este, Señor mio, no es su caso.
Juan: Mate a Espindola para proteger mi vida. El disparo primero! Me hirio de gravedad!
Marcelo: Si, me lo acaba de decir su esposa. Y hasta perdio el sentido debido a la herida. Pero si fue asi usted no pudo haberle disparado al jefe de la carcel.
Juan: Alcance a hacerlo!
Marcelo: La senora Aimee, su cuñada, estaba con el Capitan Espindola?
Juan: Yo no la vi!
Marcelo: Que fue a hacer entonces al privado del Capitan? Ese no era el camino directo desde su celda hasta la salida a la calle.
Juan: Espindola me descubrio en el pasillo. Me obligo a ir a su privado! Una vez adentro me disparo! y yo me defendi.
Marcelo: Vera usted, Senor Alcazar. No creo que las cosas hayan sucedido asi. Si la intencion de Espindola era matarlo lo hubiera hecho en cuanto lo vio en el pasillo. Asi que o usted fue al privado a buscar a alguien ... o fue directamente a asesinar al jefe de la carcel. Y hay otro pendiente.. Señor Alcazar. Tengo entendido que esta manana usted y el Senor Don Andres se enfrentaron en un duelo ... y los duelos son penados por nuestras leyes! (to Mon) Con su permiso. Buenas noches, Señora.
(Then Marcelo leaves ... unescorted)
Juan: Porque le dijiste que el balazo me dejo sin sentido?? Porque afirmas que yo no mate a Espindola?? Habiamos quedado, Monica!!...
Mónica: No, nunca quedamos en nada!! Tu dijiste que te culparias por esa muerte!, pero yo jamas estuve de acuerdo! Ademas, no oiste lo que dijo Marcelo? Si no fue por defender a Aimee que fuiste a hacer a ese privado??
Juan: Van a tener que creer en lo que dije.
Mónica: Y si no sucede? Te vas a pasar encarcelado semanas??...meses??...años?? Porque negaste que Aimee estaba alla?? Que interes tienes en protegerla??
Juan: Mi unico interes es no echarle mas leña al fuego con Andres y su familia! ... para que todo esto se acabe! Ademas!, si tu hermana fue a ver a Espindola, lo hizo en un intento por ayudarme!
Mónica: Y tu te preocupas por todos, verdad?? Tienes que proteger a Aimee?, al Tuerto?, a Serafin?. Y yo que?? No piensas en mi?
Juan: Si...
Mónica: No lo parece! Por supuesto que me duele muchisimo lo de tu amigo. Y si tienes que volver a la carcel esta bien!! Que sea por uno o dos dias como dijo Marcelo, pero no por mas tiempo. Porque siempre tienes que ser tu el que pague??
Juan: Porque todo lo que sucedio fue por causa mia.
Mónica: No, no es verdad! Fueron las circumstancias!, la mala suerte.
Juan: Yo soy el de la mala suerte.
Mónica: No es cierto. Lo que pasa es que eres obsecado, necio!! Juan, por favor!!
Juan: Tal vez nunca debimos casarnos.
Mónica: A que viene eso??
Juan: Mi vida no esta hecha para compartirla con nadie. Siempre estoy en peligro! No es justo que te arrastre con mis problemas.
Mónica: Yo estoy dispuesta.
Juan: Pero yo ya no!
Mónica: Que quieres decir?...
Juan: Que ya es tiempo de que te olvides de mi.
Mónica: Olvidarte? Has perdido el juicio??
Juan: Lo perdi cuando ... cuando me ilusione! ... en que podia tener esposa!, hijos!, una familia normal. Pero la gente como yo no puede aspirar a eso.
Mónica: No, Juan. No sabes lo que dices. Ademas,.. que es eso de olvidarte? Que es lo que pretendes?
Juan: Que nos separemos!, que dejemos de vernos. Y si no salgo bien librado de este asunto estas en libertad para pedir la anulacion de nuestro matrimonio.
Mónica: Nunca!, jamas lo hare!
Juan: No te das cuenta que si Romero se empecina me puedo pasar anos en la carcel?? Y suponiendo que no suceda!, tu crees que Andres me va a dejar en paz?? Que no va a buscar otro pretexto para retarme de nuevo??..
MónicaM: No aceptes.
Juan: Esta bien!, no acepto. Y que??!! Piensas que con eso se va a conformar??
Mónica: Vamonos a otro lugar!
J: Si a otro, y despues a otro! ..y otro!! ..y otro!! No me gusta huir. Es esa la vida que quieres para los hijos que podamos tener??
Mónica: Contigo lo que sea, Juan.
Juan: Pero yo ya no! Lo que sea... prefiero padecerlo solo (turns around briskly and heads for the door).
Mónica: No, Juan!! Espera...
Juan: No me sigas!!... (turns at the door to face her again..)
Mónica: Entonces no te vayas! Tenemos que hablar.
Juan: (nods a no) No puedo quedarme! Lo mas seguro es que Romero le aviso a la policia que estoy aqui.
Mónica: Vamos a vernos al rato!.. o mañana!.. donde tu digas.
Juan: No quiero... (more tears by both of them)
Mónica: ..Siquiera despidamonos de otra manera.
Juan: .. No...No pienso cambiar de parecer.... TE AMO!..... (turns around fast and leaves)

As posted by Marta Ivett on the Corazon Salvaje forum

Marcelo: I suppose that you've seen your husband.
Monica:Yes.(Juan enters the bedroom..) Will he have to go back to prison ? But why?(Juan makes it to hallway, is close enough to listen..)
Marcelo: It's what the law requires.In order to get liberated he will have to surrender on his own. There are some procedures to go over and then he will be able to go free if it turns out that he is innocent.
Monica: And how many days will he be detained?
Marcelo: For the previous case, one or two days the most. But... I don't think he will be released so soon..
Monica: Why?
Marcelo: There will be a new trial about the murder of Espindola.
Monica: And how long will this take?
Marcelo: I don't know. Weeks.. months.. It's not an easy case.. and I believe you'd better be prepared... he might be found guilty!.. There are many strange things in what happened. It seems that your sister had gone to see Espindola. He tried to take advantage of her.. your husband appeared at that moment and fired his gun... and that's not self-defense as Mancera claims.
Monica: I swear to you that's not the way things happened!. Espindola shot Juan! He almost killed him! He left him unconscious!
Marcelo: Then.. was there someone else who killed the prison warden?... Believe me, Monica. The truth is always better than a lie. if you don't want to see your husband in prison, you have to tell me what you know!!
Monica: No!.. No, it wasn't him! (Juan comes out to living room.)

Monica: He is a relative of my mother's..
Juan: I'm Juan Alcazar.
Marcelo: I know... I saw you at church.
Juan : Me too! What my wife told you is not true! She wants to protect me and prevent me from going back to prison. But I'm willing to assume responsibility for my actions.
Marcelo: If that were tthe case, you wouldn't have escaped, if you had expected that your innocense would be demonstrated.
Juan: I reacted to the action of justice, rebelling against an unjust sentence.
Marcelo: I see that Mansera has instructed you very well. I know that the escape is not punished if it proves one's innocense but if and only if no criminal acts have been committed during it and that, Senor, is not what happened in your case.
Juan: I killed espindola so as to protect my life. He fired first. He injured me seriously!
Marcelo: Yes, your wife was just telling me that. Ans you even fell unconscious because of the injury. but if that's how it was, you wouldn't have been able to fire at the prison warden.
Juan: I managed to do it!
Marcelo: Was Senora Aimee, your sister-in-law, with Espindola?
Juan: I didn't see her.
Marcelo: What were you doing then at the chambers of the warden? That was not the direct way from your cell to the exit on the street!
Juan: Espindola found me in the corridor. he made me go to his room! Once we were inside he shot at me and I defended myself.
Marcelo: Look, Senor Alcazar. I don't believe that things happened that way. If Espindola's intention had been to kill you, he would have done it when he saw you in the corridor. So So either you went there to find someone ...or you went there directly to kill the warden. And there's another thing...Senor Alcazar. It is my understanding that this morning you and Senor Andres confronted each other in a duel...and duels are punished by our laws! Now if you excuse me. Good night, Senora

Juan: Why did you tell him that the shot left me unconscious? Why did you assure him that I didn't kill Espindola? We had Agreed Monica..
Monica: No, we hadn't agreed on anything! You said that you'd blame yourself for that murder. but I never agreed! Besides, didn't you hear what Marcelo said? If not to defend Aimee, what were you doing in that room?
Juan: He will have to believe what I've told him.
Monica: And if that doesn't happen? You are going to be in prison for weeks, months, year...Why did you deny that Aimee was there? What interest have you got in protecting her?
Juan: My only interest is in not making things worse with Andres and his family..so that all this will come to an end! Besides, if your sister went to see Espindola, her intention was to help me!
Monica: And you worry about everyone, right? You have to protect Aimee, Tuerto, Serafin? What about me? Don't you think about me?
Juan: I do.
Monica: It doesn't seem that way! Your friend's case certainly hurts me a lot. And if you have to go back to prison, fine! Let it be for one or two days as Marcelo said, but not longer. Why do you always have to be the one who pays?
Juan: Because everything that's happened was my fault.
Monica: That's not true. The thing is that you're obstinate, stubborn! Juan, please!
Juan: Perhaps we should never have got married. My life is not the kind to be shared with anyone. I'm always in danger! It's not fair to drag you into my problems.
Monica: I'm prepared to do that.
Juan: But I'm not!
Monica: What's your point?
Juan:That it's time you forgot about me.
Monica: Forgot about you? Have you lost your mind?
Juan: I lost it when... when Ibuilt up my hopes ... that I could have a wife, childre, a normal family. But people like me cannot aspire to that.
Monica: No, Juan. You don't know what you are saying. Besides, what's this about forgetting you? What are you getting at?
Juan: I mean that we should separate! That we stop seeing each other. And if I'm not exonerated from all this, you're free to ask for the annulation of our marriage.
Monica: Never, I will never do that!
Juan:Don't you realise that if Romero digs his heels in, I might spend years in prison. And let's suppose that that doesn't happen, you think that Andres will leave me be? That he won't find another excuse to chllange me again?
Monica: Don't accept.
Juan: OK, I won't accept. So what? Do you think he will be content with that?
Monica: We can move to another place...
Juan: Yes, to another, and then another... and another.. and another! I don't like hiding. Is this the life you want for the children we could have?
Monica: With you anything, Juan!
Juan:But I don't accept that! Whatever happens... I prefer going through it alone.
Monica: No, Juan. Wait!
Juan:Don't come after me!
Monica: Then don't go. We have to talk.
Juan:I can't stay! It's almost certain that Romero has informed the police that I'm her.
Monica: We can meet later! or tomorrow! wherever you like.
Juan:I don't want to...
Monica: We can at least say goodbue another way.
Juan:No... I don't think I'll change my mind... I LOVE YOU!....................
