While trying to flee, Compayito is run over by Zacarías Fernández (Raúl Araiza), who lost all his money trying to rescue companies in bankruptcy and now lives with his family at his father's house. Compayito is allowed to stay at the Fernández house and Zacarías sees this as an opportunity to fix his financial problems.
