Roberto allows them to go through the files after hours. Carlos wants to see if any complaints have been filed against la Jacaranda. Evidently, several complaints have been filed, but nothing has been done since the owner of la Jacaranda cannot be located. Jamie is shocked to see her great grandmother's name listed as owner. Carlos asks his parents if they get their produce from all of the haciendas. His father informs him that it comes from everywhere, except la Jacaranda, because their prices are higher and the quality is inferior.
After the Navarros leave, the couple discuss possible reasons why Silvestre hadn't changed the title on the property. They suspect that by not doing so, he could avoid being responsible for the contamination.
Carlos drops Jamie at home and asks hopefully if he'll see Jamie the following day. She reminds him of their plans to go to shopping and tells him how silly he is. Jamie suggests that the guys and girls split up to finish their shopping. Later, at the pharmacy, Felipe needs to purchase some toiletries. Carlos denies this and starts shouting that it would make no difference anyway because he, Jamie, and the other students would all return to the States anyway. It's obvious that he has begun to care deeply for Jamie and that the end of the summer and the consequent separation worry him terribly.
Felipe is embarrassed by Carlos' shouting and asks him to quiet down. When Felipe mistakenly uses the false cognate "estoy embarazado" which really means I'm pregnant, Carlos uses the situation to put down Felipe's Spanish. Likewise, Felipe makes fun of Carlos' English. Carlos angrily stomps off and Jamie goes after him. While waiting for her friend, Jamie overhears a conversation between a farm worker and his wife. The doctor has told the worker that the pesticide that they use is causing his terrible cough.
The wife blames don Silvestre Aguilar and threatens to one day confront him. As the two leave the clinic, they run into Felipe. When Jamie arrives home later, there are two messages on the answering machine for her. One is from Carlos reminding her about the environmental conference the following day.
The second is from Rogelio, the clerk from the library. He insists on seeing Jamie as soon as possible. The next day, they attend the conference and learn about the contamination in the air, water, and land and of the progress that some countries have made in putting sound ecological practices into place. Rogelio catches Jamie after the conference and pulls her aside to talk privately. He explains that don Demetrio knows more about her great grandmother than he is telling Jamie.
Jamie is both surprised and confused because Rogelio tells her that she is a threat to Don Silvestre. Rogelio insists that Jamie speak to Demetrio again.
In the last scene, the police and ambulances are outside the library and when asked by a reporter what happened, a witness at the scene says that it appears Demetrio has had some kind of accident. Jamie meets up with Rogelio at the library and finds out that don Demetrio happened upon a thief the night before. Don Demetrio and Jamie sit outside the library to talk.
After what happened at the library, Sr. Alcocer is ready to tell Jamie the whole truth about her great grandmother. He reveals his copy of her great grandmother's last will and testament. Don Demetrio confirms for Jamie that the will is indeed valid by the likeness of the signatures on Jamie's picture of La Catrina and the will itself. Thankfully, the thief sent by Aguilar did not succeed in finding the will which don Demetrio gives to Jamie.
He cautions her to keep it in a safe place and to consult a lawyer. In the next scene, Jamie asks Carlos to bring her to la Hacienda la Jacaranda and explains en route her conversation with don Demetrio. As they are talking about this incredible news, a worker warns them to leave because of the dangerous pesticide they are using on the fields.
That evening, Jamie dreams of don Silvestre and his threats. She also envisions her great grandmother, who tells her that she must demand justice and take back that which rightfully belongs to her. She reminds her that she is now rich, but that she must never forget the poor. Don Silvestre and his lawyer, Manchado, speak about the validity of the will. Silvestre makes clear to him that if he doesn't find some way to invalidate the will in court, Silvestre will no longer be able to pay him so handsomely.
After the lawyer's departure, Silvestre tells his bodyguards to make sure that Jamie returns to the U. He then reveals a hidden portrait of La Catrina. He declares that he will not give up what "rightfully" belongs to him. Paco, his son, is outside listening to his father. After the video, the two discuss the future and the possibility of their being together. Suddenly, a noise comes from the dining room. The girls run downstairs, but the thief escapes, without having found the will.
Before their appointment, they do a little sightseeing. Jamie finally sees the authentic copy of Diego Rivera's painting, a copy of which she has as a poster in her room. In her opinion, the will is valid, but she makes clear to the two that don Silvestre will do everything possible to keep "his" fortune. In the first scene, Jamie and Carlos are having dinner following their meeting with the lawyer.
They discuss how fortunate it is that Silvestre's campaign coincides with the discovery of the will. At all costs, Silvestre will have to avoid the newspapers getting hold of the story and portraying him as a thief. Manchado gives three reasons why the will is invalid: it doesn't have an official stamp, it is not signed by a witness or a lawyer, and the laws have changed considerably since the will was written.
She calls a witness, Sr. Barbudo, who works for the tax office. He confirms that Silvestre never changed the title on the land. Silvestre angrily shouts out that he pays the taxes. Manchado further argues that Jamie is a foreigner, and Silvestre adds that she knows nothing of their laws.
Regardless, the judge decides in favor of Jamie. At a party to celebrate Jamie's good fortune, Carlos congratulates her. Jamie is surprised by the respect and admiration that the people are already showing her. She's eager to talk to her parents. Demetrio introduces Santana, and Jamie realizes that it was he who tried to help the evening the thief broke into the Linares' home. If she stays, she will not be able to attend UCLA in the fall as she had planned.
Although her parents remind her that her life is in the U. After careful thought and with the support of her parents, Jamie comes to a decision.
With their help, the land will be protected and the pesticides will no longer be used. To honor her great grandmother, she asks that the original name be returned to the hacienda. Discussing her decision, Carlos declares her a true Catrina. At the train station, all are there to bid Jamie and Felipe farewell. Paco shows up and gives Jamie a ring that belonged to her great grandmother.
Jamie says goodbye and thanks each of her new friends. Annex Explore. Recent blog posts Forum Most visited pages. Import pages Upload image Special pages Recent changes. Explore Wikis Community Central.

Jamie is in the municipal prison because the police claim that she tried to sell the coyote figure. She tells Rosie and Carlos that she sleeps well but the prison food is terrible. Carlos and Rosie tell her that they are going to free her. They go to Ms. Beltran, the lawyer, in attempt to help Jamie. The charges against Jamie are very serious for three reasons. First, Jamie is the legal proprietary of the Mansion of the Jaguar. Second, the mansion is the center of illegal art trafficking.
Beltran says that the situation is very serious but that she will talk with the police. She goes and talks with Commander Torreon.
When she is talking with him, she gives him some advice. She advises him to watch and observe Don Silvestre, who lost a case against Jamie last summer.
Contreras, the other policeman, is nervous when talking to Miranda because the police are observing Don Silvestre and he is helping them. While all of this is going on, the police call Mrs. Lopez, the museum curator. They ask her if she can verify the authenticity of the coyote figure.
Rogelio goes to the office of the archives. When the archivist leaves, Rogelio enters the office and searches for information about La Catrina. He discovers that Don Silvestre is paying the taxes on the Mansion of the Jaguar.
Carlos, Rosie, Benito, and Ms. When Benito and his mother go to the kitchen to get something, Benito asks her if she has any information about the coyote figure. She answers that she will know everything in two or three days. Benito, Carlos, Rosie, and Jamie go to the Dances of the Guelaguetza, a celebration that occurs in July with many traditional dances from the seven regions of the state of Oaxaca.
Jamie talks about the problems of long-distance relationships. She says that it might be best for him to return to help his parents in the restaurant. Later, Don Silvestre and his assistants play pool. Miranda says that Jamie got out of jail. The coyote figure used to be at the Jacaranda farm, and when they moved to their new house in Queretaro, they took it with them.
But who sent it to Jamie? The assistants inform Don Silvestre that a new tomb near Mt. Alban has been discovered. He wants to know if there are valuable pieces of art inside. He says that he wants nothing more to do with his assistants.
While this argument is going on, Carlos, Rogelio, and Ms. Beltran talk with Jamie, telling her that they have a plan to prove her innocence. The lawyer says that Rogelio found information that says Don Silvestre pays taxes on the mansion.
Rogelio and Jamie will try to help the police by giving them information about the tomb. Beltran informs Jamie that she will go to the police to give them copies of the documents that Rogelio found.
Lopez calls Torreon to tell him about the coyote figure that Jamie had. After this conversation, Torreon goes with Contraeras to interrogate Don Silvestre. He only says that they should interrogate Jamie because she is the one that had the figure. He threatens to call their boss, one of his close friends. That night, Don Silvestre dreams of La Catrina. She says that Don Silvestre is a thief, but he says that Jamie has already taken all of the properties of Queretaro. Benito tells them that a new tomb was discovered near Mt.
The next day, the archaeologists will go to excavate the tomb. The new tomb will be a huge temptation. Benito goes to talk with a friend that lives near the mansion. He asks him if he has seen anything. This friend tells him that a man with a red handkerchief named Espinal frequently carries things to the mansion at night. Next, the group goes with Ms. Beltran to tell everything to Commander Torreon. In other words, he tells them to let the police to their job.
Don Silvestre, tired, tells Paco that he wants to travel to his house in Spain to rest a bit. He wants Paco to accompany him. Don Silvestre assures him that nothing bad is going to happen to her.
Rosie and Benito go to the market to buy food. Later, Benito cooks for Rosie. When he is preparing everything, Benito talks with Rosie. He mentions that his father died a while ago. The two also talk about their relationship and how they will maintain it over a long distance. Paco calls Jamie because he wants to meet with her in the Zocalo.
They meet Paco, and he tells them that he was the one who sent the coyote figure to Jamie. He tells them that he is going to Spain with his father.
Later, the friends go the monument of Benito Juarez, the hero of Mexico. There, Carlos tells Jamie that he received a scholarship to continue his study of ecology at a university in Puerto Rico. He mentions that Jamie could apply for a scholarship to study Spanish there.
This would let them be together. In addition, Carlos explains to Jamie that the bank finally offered his parents a loan. Later, Benito and the friends go to the new tomb. Carlos and Jamie remain in the car to observe from afar while Benito, Rosie, and Rogelio go closer to see who is stealing the artifacts for Don Silvestre.
Some employees of Don Silvestre are robbing a tomb. The men realize that they are being watched, and they decide to catch the onlookers. Everyone escapes except Rogelio, who is taken to the mansion as a prisoner.
Rosie and Benito say that here was a man with a red handkerchief there. Now they have to go to the police to tell them about what occurred so that they can help Rogelio. The police go to the Mansion of the Jaguar where they capture and arrest Espinal and his helpers. They find a box that contains stolen objects from the new tomb.
Later, the police interrogate Espinal, asking him if he knows who his boss is. Now, the police have reason to believe that Don Silvestre is involved in the illegal selling of the pre-Colombian art. Rogelio is being interrogated by Miranda. He refuses to tell her what he knows. Miranda gets angry and leaves the basement where Rogelio is being kept. Rogelio frees himself and begins to search for information in boxes full of archives.
Rogelio finds a folder that contains a letter written by La Catrina in and a feather from her hat. He reads it and immediately thinks of Jamie. They want to know if Don Silvestre is in the mansion. Rogelio informs the police that Don Silvestre has plans to travel to Spain that night. Later, Rogelio shows Jamie the information that he found in the basement of the mansion. Jamie asks if she can have a moment to read the letter from her great-grandmother. La Catrina, after dancing a waltz with her lawyer, Don Pedro Aguilar, decided to leave the house.
Don Pedro, however, left before her and told a man that she was going to leave. This person shot her, and her feather fell to the floor. Don Silvestre is at the airport, ready to go to Spain. Suddenly Jamie, Carlos, and the police get close to him. Don Silvestre says that she has no right to be in Mexico. She should be in her country instead. Jamie then tells him that she is also from Mexico and that she is just reclaiming what belongs to her family.
She also says that she knows what really happened to La Catrina and that the Aguilar family got rich and powerful with her properties. Next, Contreras charges Don Silvestre with illegal trafficking of pre-Colombian art.
The police put handcuffs on Don Silvestre, and he tells Paco to call his lawyer. In the street, Jamie explains the final secret to Carlos.
