Buendía's decisive lead takes the BAC to three abandoned convents. The team splits up: Orduño and Zárate head to Guadalajara and Ávila, while Elena makes her way to Segovia — unaware that Chesca is already there, cornering Rocío Narváez. In Guadalajara, Orduño faces a fanatical Caracas and is seriously wounded. In the snow-covered cloister of Segovia, the confrontation between Chesca and Rocío is interrupted by Elena, who tries to stop her friend from being consumed by vengeance. The tension erupts when Caracas reappears and opens fire. Chesca takes him down, but in the chaos Rocío dies while Elena is left critically wounded. With her final breath, Elena takes the blame for all the crimes to save Chesca, giving her the freedom to raise her daughter. The epilogue reveals a bittersweet future: Mariajo and Orduño survive and rebuild their lives, Zárate earns a promotion, and Elena, behind bars, finds peace through a spiritual reunion with her son.
