The sixth episode of
In the name of Rocío
titled
Matar al León
begins with Rocío Carrasco explaining how Rocío Jurado discovered that she was sick until she was diagnosed with cancer.
"She was doing the summer tours and when
she arrives in Chipiona she begins to feel bad, yellow...",
describes Rociíto.
"So she calls my cousin Ani,"
she recounts.
Next, her cousin Ana de Ella tells what happened.
"She told me that she had pain that would not go away
. So I remembered a doctor from Cadiz that she treated very well."
This doctor, after doing some tests, told him that he had to go to Madrid immediately.
There the diagnosis is very clear.
The singer has pancreatic cancer
.
"When she left the nurse, she wished her luck.
That already makes her aware of what is really happening,"
says Rocío Carrasco.
According to her cousin, Ana, in tears, shortly after she was operated on, she "started the countdown."
Rociíto, at that moment, already suspects that something serious is happening to his mother.
"I'm going to Madrid, I feel terrible, I'm tired.
We packed her bags and left the next day. She had been admitted in Montepríncipe in the morning," he explains.
"The doctor told me that she had pancreatic cancer and that
80% of those diagnosed do not survive.
Silly me, I told her that I didn't care,
that she was in the remaining 20"
.
Carrasco's cousin, also called Rocío Jurado, recounts the family's suffering.
"We did not want to lose hope, we were with her
, her daughter, Rocío, was always with her. Rocío's cries were desperate. My mother had also had cancer. She
knew it was a hard journey,"
she says.

At that time, they pass images of the press conference that the largest communicated his illness to the public, reporting that he had a phase 2 tumor
.
"She did not want them to speak for her, she wanted to speak
and do it as she wanted. After that press conference she does not say anything to anyone, not Amador, not me."
Rociíto assures that at that time she only called
Ana Iglesias, her executor, to arrange a will for her
.
Soon after, they reveal who made the decision to go to
Houston seeking a desperate cure for his illness.
"She is the one who makes this decision," says her daughter.
"We knew she had cancer,
but we couldn't find out what type until they opened and operated,"
she says.
She assures that once they operated on her, the singer asked everyone except her and Fidel to leave her room.

"Fidel told him: 'Ro, I'm going to tell you one thing: you have what you have, we already know what it is and get used to the
idea that you have a lion in front of you and you only have one bullet.
If you use it you have to use a bullet, if it doesn't eat you. And
to kill the lion I think the best thing is Houston.
The decision is yours, but I think so, "he says.
"Then my mother looks at him and says: 'I also think it's the best thing'.
Then she made José come in and he opposed that decision
that had been made. She did not care and went to Houston with him ".
Then it is explained how the singer is going to live with her husband, Ortega Cano,
in a hotel attached to the American clinic.
When they show her a video showing Ortega Cano and Rocío Jurado
walking in the street after a chemotherapy session
, with Ortega angry and going in front of her, Rocío Carrasco says that she had never seen that tape, only photos.
"Those images sound too much to me, more than I would like
," she blurts out.
"She was weak, she was on a cycle of chemotherapy"
.
What she did not know is to explain what could happen to Ortega to be like this.
"Something would happen to the man"
.
After seven weeks of treatment in Houston,
the folklore returned to Madrid for Christmas with 15 kilos less.
"I thought that everything was over, that the counter had been reset to zero and we were going to live again."

"He told me that the health personnel were wonderful, that when he did the radio sessions they played
flamenco and his songs
. He told me that he was fighting it".
Rociíto assures that all the treatment was paid for by the artist herself
and that Ortega Cano did not put any money
.
"Neither being sick nor being healthy. She never ever.
She knew full well that he wasn't going to pay."
"Her relationship with Ortega was like always
from time to time, ignoring and removing the beginning.
She fell out of love.
He took care of making her fall out of love," he laments.
"There are behaviors of José at that time that I can understand.
He was sunk, he had his conscience that would not leave him.
At least he has that conscience that makes him go away at a given moment, apart from the pain he feels because she is as she is," he says.
"She was thinking of separating from José and then she got sick,"
says a relative.
Some images of Amador speaking on a set about the press harassment of Rocío Jurado when she was sick and the images of an angry Ortega
raise Rociíto's harshest words towards her family.
"My mother was as she was and they have to find where to continue eating.
It's sad and it's hard, but it's that cruel," he reproaches.
"He makes a defense of Ortega.
He is not going to publicly shoot his sister's husband
. "
A few days later, Rocío expresses her desire to go see the Virgin of Regla in Chipiona and images of
Juan de la Rosa, Rocío Jurado's secretary, appear next to her.
"He was terrible at it, he couldn't see her wrong," cries Rociíto.
"My uncle Juan got sick two years before her and died two years later of skin cancer.
The worst day of her life is when my mother dies."
.

A video is also shown where Rocío Jurado tells that all her family and friends were supporting her, that Rocío used to sleep with her in the room and that Fidel
"was always clawing to find the best doctors,
asking, looking."
Rociíto confirms that
her entire family was helping her, but she highlights Fidel's work.
Between tears,
she says that it hurts when they speak ill of Fidel.
"The truth is what my mother tells, no matter how much they want to hide it."
María Teresa Campos assures that Fidel is the perfect husband.
"I usually laugh a lot with Fidel. He is everything to Rocío, in him she has found
the partner she needed, the close person she needed."
She says that the insinuations of people who she claimed "could be another scoundrel" are lies.
About his family and everything they told on TV, Rociíto assures:
"They saw that their source of income dried up.
Either momentarily because he was away recovering or because he thought it was going to dry up permanently.
They have to ensure the way of living and eating.
"The end of one gave rise to the beginning of many," he
recounts about his family's passing through the sets in those days.
"I don't know how she lived it,
I know she had a feeling of disagreement.
She suffered from some rudeness than another, she felt alone on many occasions. She contemplated with great sadness that each one was taking their place so quickly.
When she was not so clear what was going to happen
. Why would they?
Within her family, the daughter of
La más grande
, she saves Rosa Benito in her first stage.
"
I cannot criticize Rosa
, removing the last stage of her, with her I have anecdotes within the disease where she made me smile. But then, with him
eagerness to place himself within that world, he was not up to the task".

"There is a Christmas before we go to Houston for good. My mother was in bed and she had many roots in her hair. Fidel and I entered
the room and found her crying," he
says.
She explains that the singer had called Rosa to go dye it, but that she replied:
"How am I going to dye you if now they do my hair?"
.
Rocío Carrasco describes that she did not believe that phrase.
"I know that on other occasions she also calls her to get it fixed and
she had to call a hairdresser because Rosa wasn't there
. "
She points out that at that time her mother began to worry more about herself.
"She knew that she had to use that last cartridge well to kill the lion."
The last trip to Houston
The last trip to Houston
was made by Rocío Jurado accompanied by her cousin María Eugenia,
shortly before her 61st birthday.
"All her birthdays were special, but for me she had many more years to come. She always felt her love,
but that year she held it much tighter,"
she recalls.
The artist fed on the affection that she received both from her family
and from the public that adored her.
Rocío Carrasco explains that she has a record called
La más grandes
and that people nicknamed her that way, gave her mother trouble.
"She said that my grandmother Rosario told her: 'Rocío, never believe it. Do mothers give birth to phenomena every day? That always led him to the letter, "she maintains.
"But that album is made with Azteca Music
and it was the name they sent it to.
Nothing more."
Rocío Jurado had had to record that CD with a smaller company like Azteca for different reasons that Rociíto lists.
"In Sony
they do not renew him because of a series of bad performances by Amador.
Things are as they are. They do not see well how Amador does things, he puts a lot of them in.
He leaves BMG due to a series of similar circumstances,"
she communicates.
"It was profitable for the company, the problem was the family's relationship with the record label.
Gloria was also playing tricks and my mother wanted Gloria to give her opinion,
decide and be with the director of the company.
Everything seemed wrong to Gloria, no They understood nothing."
She claims that this was unsustainable for music labels.

The executor's letter
has written a reproach towards the Mohedano family.
According to Ana Iglesias, her mother did not leave enough of her assets because many people she got used to badly lived off her, who also dedicated herself to putting out fires for her loved ones.
"She was a singer and a firefighter.
She always put others before herself
, covered up the shit and needs of others," she says.
"She begins to notice that she has to pay something with a surcharge,
or that something accumulates that does not have to be accumulated. She asks Ana Iglesias to study it. The family does not know that
a report has been commissioned, but they end up knowing it," he
explains.
Ana Iglesias subscribes in her letter that, after analyzing her papers, she asked Rocío Jurado to
leave the negotiations to professionals and not to his brother Amador.
"The report is very long and very technical, what I can do is summarize the most important points," communicates Rocío Carrasco with her glasses on and documents in hand.
"Ana tells her that Amador should do his thing,
be an artistic director, and she should do her thing, be an artist, that someone else take care of the paperwork. When my father took them, it was perfect, she didn't look bad with anyone. Then He
names Manolo Sánchez, his former representative, to whom he owed money.
He asks him to be a secretary or someone who takes things for him, "he
summarizes.
"There were misunderstandings and many bad things. That's what Ana is referring to.
But Amador, when he finds out, crucifies Ana."
