She needs to take rest and heal but is losing out on her current modelling contracts thanks to her situation. She eventually comes home in a wheelchair with her leg casted in external support. Valeria’s leg is broken severely and she’s admitted in the hospital. Valeria happens to be driving to meet her client and as she gets her green signal, she begins to move her car and Octavio smashes into her. There is not much of an event leading to the accident. He leaves his family and moves in with Valeria and her dog Richie. Valeria is having an affair with Daniel who is a successful magazine editor. Let’s take a quick rewind into her story. The car that Octavio smashes into belongs to a model Valeria. Octavio gives up and doesn’t enter the bus either. Octavio tells Susana to meet him at the bus stop where they will run away to Ciudad Juárez. She tells him that it was never “their” plan but only “his” plan. Octavio still feels he has a shot with Susana. Octavio doesn’t care for his dead brother but he does confront Susana for running away with their money. Unfortunately for him, a cop is in the bank and the cop’s partner enters and shoots Ramiro. While Octavio ends up being badly hurt, Jorge dies.ĭays later, Octavio is recovering. Octavio cuts a red light and smashes into another car. Octavio and his friend Jorge are chased by Jarocho’s men. Does Jarocho die? We don’t know, we are not shown. In retaliation, Octavio stabs Jarocho and makes a run for it.
That was his plan all along, to kill Octavio’s winning dog and put an end to the streak. The fight starts Cofi begins to win but Jarocho shoots Cofi. Jarocho comes back with a high stake private dog fight challenge and Octavio agrees. This pisses off Octavio, quite obviously. Susana takes all of the “run away” savings and leaves. Octavio thinks that he is at the top of his game but Susana and Ramiro decide to leave.
Octavio uses his dog fight connections and get Ramiro beaten up pretty bad. Ramiro finds out about Octavio winning at the dog fights and demands a part of the winnings. She needs sexual release and Octavio means nothing more to her. Susana, however, is never sold into the concept of leaving Ramiro and running away. Octavio and Susana are shown to regularly make-out and part of the winnings are stashed in to their “run away” savings. Jarocho’s dogs constantly get killed by Cofi.
Octavio realizes Cofi’s strength and starts making loads of money at dog fights. Jarocho is pissed off (for his own stupidity) and goes over to Octavio and demands for money. He thinks he will have some fun unleashing his winning dog on Cofi. Jarocho, the villain of the story per say, happens to have won a dog fight and sees Cofi. One of the instances Cofi is loose, he wanders into an area near a dog fight. She says no at first but is eventually shown to agree with the plan. Octavio loves Susana and wants her to run away with him. He cheats on his wife with a co-worker at the supermarket. Ramiro is employed in a supermarket but commits robbery of small stores to make a few extra bucks. Octavio lives with his mother, brother Ramiro and his brother’s wife Susana.
