José Urbano, a violent drug dealer, is shot and killed at a church fair. It soon becomes clear that the local community, and the church's priest Roberto Torres, are all covering for someone. The investigation leads to Alicia Rivers whose sister Lucy was violently attacked and raped. The detectives believe that Urbano raped Lucy, so her boyfriend Nicky Guzmán shot him, with Alicia and Torres as accomplices. Evidence shows that the murder weapon belongs to Alicia's grandmother, so Alicia is arrested. Robinette convinces Alicia's grandmother to co-operate; she confirms Nicky killed Urbano for raping Lucy. Nicky is charged with murder, while a judge dismisses the charges against Alicia.

However, he invokes the fact that Urbano had raped Lucy and asserts that he was protecting Lucy's honor, even though the prosecution finds evidence that this wasn't the case. After the jury acquits the boy, this exchange results:
