Joaquín appears with a court order that forces the opening of Julia's grave. The new evidence leaves no room for doubt… Julia is alive, but she is being held under Leonel's orders.

Joaquín confronts Leonel with all the crimes he is accused of, hoping to pressure him into confessing the truth, but Leonel has something far more valuable to protect.

Benigno seeks out Leonel in hopes of guiding him back to the path of the Lord. However, Leonel coldly admits that religion no longer has a place in his life.
