Original subtitles

What happened? That's what the whole town will be wondering.

The walls have ears.

Justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God.

It's Alonso, Llanos' brother. He hasn't been in town for years.

At Mercedes' and Roque's funeral, no one. Even then, they were poor.

-We have to report to the station now. -What for?

Don Manuel Cervantes, you're under arrest.

Llanos was murdered.

If Manuel is found guilty, he faces the death penalty.

Finding the body changes nothing regarding her inheritance.

It's the same as when she disappeared.

Did Llanos ever talk to you about Jorge?

She asked me to look after his letters.

I covered for her so Manuel wouldn't find out.

Those letters only prove I loved her.

We wanted to elope. Why would I kill her?

-Not every day does one kill their sister. -Jorge!

The rest was easy. If no one sees, it never happened.

You're under arrest.

Haven't you missed me? I've missed you.

Justa, please stop.

-Luisa? -It's Guillermo.

He's sick.

Come as soon as possible.

Luisa!

-Hi. -What are you doing here?

Is this your car?

We'll have time to talk.

You have...

changed a lot.

What did you expect after all this time?

BETWEEN LANDS

SAINT TERESA OF JESUS HOSPITAL

This place?

Your brother was very sick. He needed the best treatment.

I'll go and park.

-Mom! -María! Oh, honey.

-My girl. -How is he?

He's better now, but he's had a rough time.

María?

You're so beautiful! You look like a singer.

Not a singer, just a run-of-the-mill actress!

I'll be outside if you need anything.

Okay, son. Thank you.

-You didn't tell me he was here. -He arrived before your brother got sick.

He asked us not to tell you.

His fever is decreasing. Thank goodness José arrived.

-José? -He got him admitted here.

If it wasn't for him...

He also insisted on paying for the treatment.

It's not right.

What could we do? It happened so fast, honey.

He just showed up one day, unannounced.

It caught us all by surprise, but we were very happy.

Anyone else would've gone to the capital.

It shows how much he cares about us. Everyone was talking about it.

It's nice seeing a neighbor succeed, and even more if it's José.

Hi! Want to see the car? Come here.

So many years without seeing him and it's as if he left yesterday.

Mr. Mayor!

He's being very generous. The first thing he did was pay his debts.

You're not the only one who's missed him these years.

We also cared for him.

After all, he was almost part of the family.

Did he tell you what he does?

He has several businesses and is doing well abroad.

Honey, it's a miracle he showed up when your bother got sick.

What would we have done without him?

But of course, if you prefer,

we can talk to your husband.

Is it not going well?

-Not now. -Manuel?

María saw us in the stable.

We'll be more careful next time.

-Justa, there won't be a next time. -You're not serious.

-For that snake in the grass? -Watch it.

Why do you think she went to Almería?

That's enough.

Manuel, please don't do this.

Listen to me. From now on, you do your thing, and I'll do mine.

What's going on?

-You're taking care of everything? -Helping your brother.

No, José. It doesn't work like that.

-I understand you're angry. -Angry?

You show up after years as if nothing happened.

I'm sorry.

-Truly. -Is that it?

No. I have a lot to tell you.

What matters now is Guillermo's recovery.

We'll catch up later.

I'm going back to town. If you need anything, let me know.

It's great to see you.

Did you speak to José?

-Did he tell you why he didn't call? -Luisa.

That was a long time ago. María is married now.

-But she has a right to know. -We'll talk later.

María?

Oh, my boy.

Looks like our sleepyhead has woken up.

I had to get sick so you would come.

Right.

Did you come alone?

Manuel had to work.

But he sends his love.

Have you seen José?

Good invention. Now you can carry two baskets at once.

It was Claudia's idea, Don Ramón.

Good Lord.

-Claudia? -Run!

Claudia?

There we go.

Are you okay?

What is it?

-She needs a doctor, Don Ramón. -For dizziness?

Give her water and she'll be fine.

Go on, Sara.

Easy.

Come on.

Here.

On the house.

To you, Julia. The best waitress in Europe.

Oh, thank you. You appreciate the good things.

Hey.

I'm glad things are going well for you.

Mayor.

You're proof we know how to succeed.

Thank you.

How was Guillermo?

Much better than expected.

Thank you for helping him.

We'll pay you back.

We'll talk about it later.

Among other things.

Right?

The first months were really hard.

I didn't speak the language, no one would give me a job.

I thought about coming back, but...

I couldn't come back with nothing.

What did you do?

I made things worse.

I hung out with the wrong crowd and...

I made money doing favors.

Then I got arrested...

and it all went to shit.

Why didn't you tell me?

That I was arrested for being a jerk?

I was too ashamed.

Disappearing was much worse.

Yeah.

I disappeared.

Somehow I made it out alive.

Then what did you do?

When I got out of jail...

my luck seemed to have returned.

Can you believe we're here?

You and me, like before.

No, not like before, José.

I wasn't locked up.

I had a tough time too.

When I was getting ready to come back, I called my cousin Miguel.

He told me you got married.

You found out in Germany?

I was about to come back.

After I heard, I went to Barcelona.

I stayed there a while.

-I thought of calling. -But you didn't.

There was someone else, right?

And me waiting for you for years.

I had to get married to support them because I hadn't heard from you.

Do you have any idea what that feels like?

María, what I did was unforgivable.

But I came back to make things right.

Me wondering all these years what happened to him

and he just shows up expecting forgiveness.

María, you were very young. People make mistakes.

He seems sincere to me.

And he saved Guillermo's life.

That's true.

But that's all.

-What about Manuel? -Manuel?

-How are things with him? -Just as bad.

Things were starting to go well, we were working things out, and then...

Well...

-Nothing. -What?

Nothing.

Does he love you?

I don't know.

Manuel, please.

Considering your symptoms and missed periods,

I estimate you must be about seven weeks pregnant.

You're not married?

Do you at least have a boyfriend?

Well, dear, it's not so bad.

Get married as soon as possible.

You may get dressed.

What do we do?

Get rid of it. I have no choice.

-We could go to jail. -I don't care.

I don't want to end up like my mom.

My love, you're not alone.

-We can get married. -Gabi.

We've talked about this.

I won't raise a child in this misery. I've made my decision.

A brandy.

So in the field you're sick, but with this guy you're fresh as a daisy.

What did the doctor say?

He hasn't arrived yet.

I ran from class.

She calls that acting course "class".

Hey!

Luisa, tell me. "To be or not to be?"

"To be or not to be?"

Good morning.

-Hi. -Good morning.

Good news. The antibiotics appear to be working well.

-Thank God. -You can continue recovering at home.

-Thank you. -Amazing.

-My pleasure. -Thank you, doctor.

My boy.

Knock it off!

I'll give you 50 pesetas for each trap you bring me from that poacher.

And if you catch him, 500.

Put them in the yard.

-Got it. -Thanks, Don Ramón.

What do you want?

You know I've done everything I can to help María.

Yes, and I'm grateful.

But I am loyal to the Cervantes.

Justa, get to the point.

You replaced Llanos with a tart.

-What do you mean, wretch? -Just that.

I found something interesting.

On the table in the middle of Manuel's bedroom,

you'll find a silver box. Open it.

-Does Manuel know? -I guess so. But it's not his fault.

It's María's.

She manipulates his good nature.

I have one request.

What?

Don't tell Manuel it was me.

He's been surly with me lately and might kick me out.

You'll stay in this house as long as I say.

Welcome home.

A fan?

We bought it in Almería to keep you cool.

What do you think?

-And a rocking chair? -It'll be like being in a hotel.

But I'm fine now! You heard the doctor.

María?

-Hello, family. -What's up?

-You look great, Guillermo. -Right?

María, there's a call for you.

It must be your husband. Go on, hurry.

-Here. -Thank you.

Hello?

How's your brother?

Ramón?

He's fine. Thank you.

Marvelous.

So start packing your bags to return.

-Excuse me? -You heard. Time to come back.

My brother hasn't recovered yet. Besides, it's not up to you.

Of course it is. I'm paying for your vacation.

What's the matter?

I've seen the photo.

What photo?

You know perfectly well.

The one in which you're half naked with a man.

Ramón, he was my boyfriend when I was barely a woman.

So why do you keep the photo?

I don't know, out of affection.

You keep photos of your mother, not a buck naked man!

You're married to a Cervantes.

I don't want anyone pursuing you! Especially him.

Don't make things up.

Providing an heir is part of the deal. So you're coming back now.

My brother's still sick.

Then I'll cut you off.

And your family will pay back every last peseta.

-You can't do this to me now. -Listen to me.

The return bus leaves in two days.

If you don't take it, I'll assume he's more important!

-How was it? -Fine.

Are you okay?

-I don't want to talk. I want to be alone. -María.

If you need anything at all, just ask me.

-Okay? -Thanks.

-Where did this come from? -It was in her things.

I knew she had a boyfriend. She told me.

And you're fine with them meeting?

-How do you know that? -You need to wake up!

I won't let you leave her in the lurch! You can't do that!

Of course I can! A deal's a deal!

What about all she's done for us?

-I owe her nothing! -She got me out of jail!

That was her duty!

Keep this up, you'll lose your wife like you lost your son.

Don't use my son against me again.

It's for your own good.

Maybe one day you'll stop being such a wretch!

Do you think he'd really do that?

The way he treats his family...

-You have to tell mom. -No.

She has enough to worry about already.

-What are you going to do? -I don't know.

Manuel offered to help, right?

Why don't you call him?

-If you're not happy, don't go back. -It's not that simple.

Think of José.

If he's back,

and he's being so good to us...

There's a reason, right?

I'm going to get some air.

Don't say anything to Mom.

SPANISH RAIL NETWORK

Is that him?

I don't know. I was told he'd be wearing a tie.

Come on.

Are you Gabi?

How far along are you?

Almost eight weeks.

How old are you?

Twenty-five.

Are you sure about this?

It will cost 2000 pesetas.

I'm risking a lot, I don't want to go to jail.

I'm doing you a favor.

Will you do it?

Why do you want to know?

Come tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.

Alone. And fasting.

Manuel?

It's María. Can you hear me?

Manuel?

What do I owe you?

Go on. God will repay me.

-Thank you. -Bye.

-What a nice day. -Go for a swim later.

Family, cheers.

-To Guillermo. -Cheers!

Cheers.

Guillermo, try these on.

Your glasses?

Try them. Let's see how they look.

How do I look?

Gorgeous. They look great.

You like them?

No, keep them.

They're yours.

-Really? -Yep.

I love them.

I don't know how to repay you for everything.

Guillermo, friends don't owe each other.

Especially if they're going to work together.

-Work for you? -What do you think?

And quit school?

Well...

Why not?

Well, there's no need to rush either.

Your sister's right.

Finish school first and then we'll talk.

Let's go get some smokes?

Sure.

-Keep the change. -Thanks.

What's up with María? She's so serious.

She's worried.

Still haven't decided what to do?

You know how she is. She worries about everything.

Is it her husband?

Sorry, I don't want to involve you.

Listen to me, María. Relax and don't be so surly.

José is trying to look out for you.

So enjoy it and you can decide later.

Every time I think she had to get married like that...

How I regret letting her slip away.

I love this song.

Hey, let's go dance! Come on, Guillermo.

Yes, I understand.

Thank you so much.

It's just as I feared.

It's impossible to regain custody.

Your uncle has covered all the bases.

If you want, we could file a claim, but...

it will be a long and costly process, and it won't do any good.

I recommend that you... reach an agreement with your uncle.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You don't know what I would give for things to go back to how they were.

What?

What?

It's true.

I never stopped thinking about you.

Not even with the other girl?

Especially with the other girl.

Trying to convince myself I'd moved on.

And guess what? I hadn't. I was lying to myself.

I still loved you.

I still love you.

One thing's for sure.

Letting you go... was the biggest mistake of my life.

The biggest.

Come on.

María, let's dance! Come on.

-No. -Yes, come on!

Come, let's do something.

Come on. Let's go!

All right. Fine.

-That's enough. -Come on!

No.

Remember how to dance?

-Not anymore. -I don't believe you.

I'm going to file a claim to regain custody of my son.

My lawyer says the case is as good as won.

It will take time and money, but I don't care.

Right now I have enough of both.

So it's up to you.

We can do this the easy way

or the hard way.

Leave María alone and I'll back off.

But if you insist on taking that money, we'll see each other in court.

I promise you, I'll make your life miserable.

I'll get Nicolás back

and you'll never see us again.

Problems with Manuel?

Every marriage is complicated, María.

He hasn't called since I got here.

He hasn't even asked about Guillermo.

None of this makes sense.

You have to be patient, honey. Every home has its problems.

But in the end,

everything works out.

What if it doesn't work out?

This is what awaits me.

Right?

Look who's here!

Look, it's Claudia!

Say hello to Claudia.

Hello! How are you?

-Fine. -Well then.

See you later, hon.

Gabi, try and cheer her up.

See you, Pepita.

What happened?

Have you got it?

I had to borrow some from my cousin.

-Where did you get so much? -I sold a few rabbits.

You swore not to hunt on Cervantes land.

Gabi, they won't find out, and we need that money.

-By motorcycle? Let me take you. -No.

You heard the guy.

Claudia!

Please take care of yourself.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

We found three more traps, sir. The poacher has struck again.

Son of a bitch.

Here.

Thank you.

Take care.

That bitch.

Are you coming?

Come in.

-Are you fasting? -Yes.

Well, sit down there.

I knew you'd be here.

You don't know how much I've missed this.

María, why are you so serious?

It's been days.

Your brother has recovered, your mother is well...

What is it?

I'm not sure about leaving tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I need to talk to Manuel.

There are things we need to clarify and sort out with his uncle.

Right.

Hey, I appreciate your honesty.

For better or for worse.

Maybe if we'd had this conversation months ago

it could've been different.

There's still time.

It's too late.

It's not too late.

There's always time for everything.

Do you know why I came?

You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

Are you okay?

Manuel?

Is that him? I saw the photo.

There's still something between you.

Let me remind you, you're in no position to make accusations.

Why did you come?

I came for you.

We'll have to get married. You don't like talking about it, but...

if we're going to do this, let's do it right.

Civil Guard, open up!

Where is Claudia? She's the poacher.

Please come with us. We need to ask you some questions.

You should be ashamed.

I'm going back alone.

I'd like to get home in good time. It's a long trip and I have work to do.

I know nothing about you. I know you have a past. Not much else.

-Was he your first love? -My only love.

Manuel's going back today. Alone. Once his car is fixed.

I'm not sure.

If he's going back alone.

Hey!
