Original subtitles

María, your brother was very sick. He needed the best treatment.

-Why didn't you tell me he was here? -Thank goodness José arrived.

He got him admitted here.

-You're taking care of everything? -I'm helping your brother.

It doesn't work like that, José.

There won't be a next time.

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

-Claudia! -She needs a doctor, Don Ramón.

Give her water and she'll be fine.

Our sleepyhead has woken up.

I had to get sick so you would come.

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

I estimate you must be about seven weeks pregnant.

-What do we do? -Get rid of it.

You can continue recovering at home.

I found something interesting.

I've seen the photo.

The return bus leaves in two days.

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

You know why I came? You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

Are you okay?

Now, let's come outside for a bit. It'll do us good, you'll see.

Don't bring a chair for me, I have to go.

Manuel.

So nice to meet you.

-Are you staying long? -It depends. It's all up in the air.

-Yes, I can imagine. -María!

-José! -Look.

Come.

These are my siblings.

Luisa and Guillermo.

-Hello. -Manuel.

Hello.

-Pleasure. -Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you.

I'll get my suitcase out of the car.

If I'd known he was that handsome...

Nothing's changed.

BETWEEN LANDS

This is for your morning bathing, okay?

So, everything is ready.

Well, I'll leave you. You must have a lot to talk about.

Sleep well.

-Good night. -Good night.

Thank you, Sagrario.

Honestly...

Amazing car.

Is that him?

Who?

Come on, María. I saw the photo.

There's still something between you. It's obvious.

My brother is alive thanks to him.

So if there is anything, it's only gratitude.

When you came to Almería, did you plan on seeing him?

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

You're wrong about Justa, it's not what you think.

I don't want to talk about Justa.

-Why did you come? -I came for you.

But

I guess it's too late.

It's fine. I don't want to worry your mother.

Let's keep pretending, right?

How wonderful, Gabi. I'll take it to the pantry.

Come tonight and I'll make something with all this.

Of course.

How are you feeling?

I don't know.

Do you think...

we can ask them to give us back the money?

I don't know. I don't think so.

-Is that what concerns you most? -No, but it's a lot of money.

We could do with it.

Claudia, 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.

Even if it's just so people leave us in peace.

Okay.

Let's get married.

Why the long faces?

Concha,

Claudia and I are getting married.

About time.

How did you suddenly decide on this?

Well...

At least this time history won't repeat itself.

Civil Guard, open up!

What?

-Open up! -What's going on?

-Where is Claudia? -Why? What is it?

Tell her to come out.

-Has she done something? -You know very well what she's done.

I'm here. What is it?

She's the poacher.

Excuse me, Concha.

Claudia, please come with us to the station.

We need to ask you some questions.

Don Ramón says you're the one setting traps.

-No, you can question me. -Gabi.

I've been setting the traps.

It's too late to play the hero.

Either way, for now you both need to come with us.

Concha.

We need to search the house.

Go on in. I have nothing to hide.

You should be ashamed.

Shame on you for how you've raised your niece.

María, no. Put that down and sit, we're going to have breakfast.

There.

Your husband doesn't talk much, but he's a good man.

Not like his uncle.

They're not very alike.

How does Manuel like his coffee?

No, don't worry, ma'am, I won't stay for breakfast.

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

Daughter, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?

I would've made food for your journey.

No, I... I'll make it.

I'm going back alone.

María had better stay here until Guillermo is fully better.

Guillermo's fine.

Well, she'll decide when to come back.

Go and wake your brother.

No, really, there's no need.

Let him sleep.

Manuel, you know how kids at that age are, they're always sleepy.

-Yeah... -Manuel.

For the journey.

-You're going to let him go alone? -Mom.

Well...

"Well" what?

Some parts will have to be replaced.

I'm going to the workshop to get them. But yes,

it will be a few hours. I hope you weren't in a hurry.

I kind of was.

You've been lucky in the end.

It's the feast of the patron saint and sardines on the beach.

Who doesn't like sardines?

Exactly. Make the most of it and show your husband the town.

Manuel, you'll see how beautiful it is. You won't want to leave, you'll see.

-I'll go and get Guillermo. -Go on.

Let's go.

Hey, María, I can't get something out of my head.

It's strange, I don't talk much, but you know everything about me.

You know my history with Llanos. Even about Justa.

But I know nothing about you.

I know you have a past. Not much else.

What do you gain if I tell you?

Well, we won't lose anything either.

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

-We were going to get married. -What happened?

He left and never came back.

I waited for him for many years,

and then your uncle came.

Right.

I didn't know José would come back, Manuel.

Right.

Come on. Don't they dance in La Mancha?

-Maybe he doesn't want to. -Speak for yourself. I love to dance.

Hello.

-Do you want a drink? -Yes.

Have you seen how he dances?

Yes.

He dances well.

-Here. I'm going over there. -Bye.

I didn't know you were so good.

We haven't had the chance.

You'll agree with me that you and I got off on the wrong foot, right?

Manuel, why don't I show you how we do the sardines?

Look.

I'm so hungry...

María, I need to talk to you. Shall we take a walk?

And now for a song written...

Yes.

Your mother told me that you were here, and that Manuel's going back today.

Alone. Once his car is fixed.

I'm not sure.

About what?

If he'll go back alone.

María.

Everything you told me about your life with him...

You didn't seem very happy.

What about yesterday?

-What happened between us yesterday... -No.

-José... -We were fine until Manuel came.

What happened yesterday made me realize I don't feel the same about you.

A lot of time has passed.

Too much.

I'm not the same, I've changed.

I'm sorry.

One day, you'll regret this.

On that day, call me.

I'll be waiting for you all my life.

Where's Manuel?

He went to look for you behind the boats. Didn't he tell you?

He was going to see how the car is.

Anyway...

Hey!

You weren't going to wait for me?

I know they let you go for lack of evidence.

But you're not getting out of it.

-Because I will find it. -We have nothing to hide.

-You have no shame. -Calm down, Don Ramón.

Shut up.

Who are you trying to fool?

I know perfectly well you're her accomplice.

I'll get you. Both of you.

If I can do one thing,

it's wait.

You shouldn't have said anything. I don't need your protection.

Don't start again. My child won't be born in prison.

And another thing, from now on, lay low.

He won't take his eye off you until he catches you.

Tito! Just who we wanted to see.

Gabi.

I had to lie for you at the factory.

-I said you were ill. -Thanks. If only that was it.

You'll miss going to work every day.

-Why do you say that? -Don't you know?

Don Antón told us he's selling the factory.

Selling it? What about us?

That depends on who buys it.

I'd start saving.

Well...

"Well"? You don't care that we're losing our jobs?

No, obviously not, Gabi.

But the flour factory is Ramón's main customer.

Think about it.

If they lose them, the Cervantes will have a lot of problems.

And for once, our problems will be theirs too.

Goddammit!

-Are you okay? -Yes.

Fantastic mechanic in your town.

I can't believe it.

My uncle's going to kill me.

He's going to kill you.

Do you need help?

Yes, we need to make a call.

Okay, of course, get in.

Get in. We'll take you.

-Make yourselves at home. -Thank you.

We've spoken to the nearest mechanic's.

They say they can come now to get the car with the tow truck.

Great.

But they don't know when it will be ready.

And knowing Spain, that could be tomorrow, the next day, or in a fortnight.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Well, what shall we do now?

-You can spend the night here. -Of course.

Good idea.

No. That's very kind, but I think we've bothered you enough.

It's no bother at all.

You're recently married, right?

-Yes. -Yes, you could say that.

So don't let a broken-down car ruin your honeymoon.

We'll leave you to think about it.

Here you have the guest bedroom.

The bathroom is back there, okay?

If you need anything, please let me know.

And now I'll leave you, you must be tired.

Good night.

I'm not really tired.

Me neither.

María, I...

All these months, I haven't stopped thinking about you.

This could end really badly.

I just want a good beginning.

For both of us.

The last one wasn't good enough.

What time is it?

Late.

I haven't woken up to so much light for a while.

Sober, I mean.

Listen.

We don't have anything to do all day.

Shall we continue our honeymoon?

Works for me.

No, don't move. You're perfect.

I hope you don't mind. I'm just an amateur.

Like before.

They're back!

Don Ramón!

They're back!

I was so excited to see you.

-You're back. Here. -Yes, I'm back.

No, not this. We had a deal, and you have to stick to it.

That's what I say.

And it'll be the first deal you deign to keep.

You have come back. But he had to go and get you.

It's nice to see you too, Don Ramón.

I hope you've left your family in good health.

-And your friends. -Yes, in impeccable health.

But thank you for your concern.

Your vacation is over. It's late, time to make dinner. Let's go!

Uncle, I ask that from now on you moderate your temper with María.

Remember, she's my wife.

Come on.

Where's my pretty thing?

Come on, let's go.

Bitch.

Bitch.

I didn't expect to see you. I thought you understood.

-You're making a mistake. -No, you are. I have a wife.

You've had her for months and never cared until now.

Things have changed.

I'm in love now.

I want to start a new life.

I've realized I can't live without her.

That's why I went to get her. I want to make a new family with her and Nicolás.

And in that new life there's no space for you.

It's been many years Manuel. There's always a place for me.

Justa, I don't want to hurt you,

but this ends here and now.

Manuel!

You know where I live!

It can't be.

Before going to get you, I put everything in a chest.

In case you came back.

María, I think it's time this room was only yours and mine.

And we fill it with our own memories.

Look.

Fresh vegetables!

Fresh vegetables!

I'll take this one.

-Shall we get fruit? -Sure.

-Good morning. -Good morning, Claudia.

She's very odd these days, always in a bad mood.

-She was never a ray of sunshine, but... -Look at these fish.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

I'm fine.

Sure?

Put this on your neck, it'll help.

Thank you.

How far along are you?

Some weeks.

-Don't say anything, please. -No. Our lips are sealed.

Congratulations.

-It's not cause for celebration. -Of course it is.

You'll be a good mother.

You're smart, you're brave. You fight for the things you want.

-You'll do very well. -What about Gabi?

Does he know?

When we've saved we'll marry.

So where's the drama, girl?

We have to celebrate! I'll get something to toast with.

I'm sorry.

I think I was unfair to you when you arrived.

I was wrong about you.

-Very good. Thank you, Encarna. -Goodbye.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

María, wait.

Wait. I know you hate me.

I don't hate you, Justa.

I don't.

You helped me to free Manuel, and I thank you for it.

-I didn't do it for you, I did it for him... -I know.

We live very near to each other.

So let's try to respect each other. Okay?

I wish you the best.

"Conchita Velasco."

-"Fil..." -"Film..."

-"...ing.'" -"...ing.'"

-"More excited than ever." -There we go!

You read so well!

Very good, Nicolás!

-What does it say here? -"Filmed in Almería."

"Saint Thomas is the protagonist of..."

María?

Well?

Yes.

Beautiful.

Oh, what a joy. Come on, let's toast with some wine.

-Go on, then. -You won't forget your first pregnancy.

But after this one, all the others will get mixed up.

Pepita, thinking about this one is enough for now.

Beautiful.

Are you happy?

-And a bit scared. -Of course, you have a Cervantes in there.

Well, doing the math,

this child was made in Almería.

This child is going to be half Andalusian!

See, one thing makes up for the other.

Have I said the wrong thing?

No. It's just the nerves.

Well, here. Some wine for the nerves.

-Go on, then. -Yeah.

-To life. -To life.

Are you sure?

Yes, Dr. Calderón confirmed it.

María.

My God, you're beautiful now, how will you look in a few months?

Are you happy?

Yes. The thing is, I'm still taking it in.

I want a girl. One just as beautiful and smart as you.

I don't know if your uncle will want a girl.

Well he'll have to be happy.

I'll tell him.

Yes.

Come in.

You've been outside for half a day and the first thing you do is sit down.

You'll have to get used to seeing me sat down from now on.

A very modern way of running a farm. Yes, sir.

The flour mill is for sale and we're sitting here.

You know you and I have a deal.

Of course I know. I'm surprised you remember.

Well, in a few months my part will be done.

You...

You took your time.

But thanks.

He's happy, don't worry.

For reproaches he has no problem, but the joys...

Those are hard for him.

I can see that.

María, you're going to have my baby.

-Ramón... -Let us celebrate in peace, Concha.

-Today's special, I don't want to fight. -Me neither, but you don't make it easy.

I was just defending what's mine.

And look, what a coincidence.

Since I had Claudia taken to the station,

there haven't been any more traps set on my land. But sure,

it can't be your niece because she's a decent woman.

Be careful with what you say, Ramón. One day you might regret it.

No, I don't regret a thing.

Well, you should.

Have a good day, Concha.

And why don't you get your niece married? People are starting to talk.

You know what my niece has that you never will?

Someone who loves you.

Don Ramón.

Don Ramón, I was looking for you. I found something you should see.

-What? -On the farm. Let's go.

Okay, let's go.

Your land comes up to this wall, which is yours.

This is Gabi's.

So, stealing water,

and rabbits.

Close it!

You're beautiful, María.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

How time flies!

-It goes by very fast. -But don't be in a hurry.

The best part is the wait.

You say that because you don't have to carry this around.

I'm here, María, sorry.

-I let your dress out again. -Okay.

-Try it on later. -Okay.

-Let's not have an upset in the church. -This can't be disguised.

You should've married before.

With what money?

The poor do things when we can, not when we want.

Let's go.

Are you nervous?

A bit.

I thought I wouldn't be, but I am.

Were you nervous on your wedding day?

I... I'm not a good example to talk about my wedding.

-Thanks for coming to do my hair. -It's nothing. My wedding gift.

-Here? -Yes, sit down.

I'll make you pretty as a picture.

-What are you doing, Nicolás? -Come.

-What do you want? -Come. Go in.

-Go on, open the door. -Okay.

At a wedding you can't be prettier than the bride.

-Come on, we'll be late. -Wait, come here. Wait a minute.

We need to do something first.

Come here.

Sit down.

Listen...

Nicolás and I have been talking,

and we think that one day you and I should get married.

But we're already married.

-No. -No?

We think we should have a proper wedding.

A wedding where I am present.

You want to marry me, right?

-Yes, I do. -Yes?

So let's do it now.

Now? But I don't think Blas... can.

Before the Church we're already married.

I want to be married before you.

Your hand.

María...

Will you be my wife

from today until forever?

I will.

And you, Manuel...

Will you be my husband...

from today until forever?

I will.

You may kiss the bride.

-Hello? -Congratulations, María.

I just heard.

Why are you calling here?

I needed to hear your voice.

José, stop.

That's enough!

It's better if you and I don't talk anymore.

Tell me you haven't thought about me, all this time.

Tell me, and I'll hang up.

I have to go, they're waiting.

Tell me you don't think about what we said on the beach.

-What we did, María. -José...

What we said on the beach that day was a mistake.

And what we did after, even more so.

I don't believe you.

I know you, María. You're a bad liar.

If I ever think about that day it's with regret.

I don't care if the baby is Manuel's.

I can learn to love it.

-Listen, I'm still waiting for you. -José, no!

Don't wait for me.

Live your life like I'm living mine.

Goodbye.

-Long live the bride and groom! -Long may they live!

-Do you like these? -Thank you.

-Congratulations! You look beautiful. -Thank you.

-Yes, it's all going well. -I've had two wines. I'm so happy.

Gabi.

Congratulations.

Look at you now!

-Finally married. -If I had known it was so expensive...

-A month's savings, gone. -If you need help, you know.

No, it's not that.

Aren't you afraid?

The factory being sold affects you too.

If someone buys a flour factory it'll be because they want it.

It'll need wheat, workers...

-Hey, how are you? -One moment.

Thanks so much for coming.

María.

What are you doing alone?

You're not regretting getting married to me?

Of course not.

Gabi!

I'm sorry, but today was arranged for the delivery.

What is it?

A fine.

They've fined me for using a well to water my garden.

The well isn't on my land.

It says I'm stealing.

20,000 pesetas?

For using water? Where will we get 20,000 pesetas?

-What is it? -Did you know about this?

-About what? -This.

Good afternoon. Is this the bar La Flecha?

I'd like you to help me find someone. He's called José.

He's a friend of María Rodríguez's family.

I'm sorry, but it's very important, please.

Thank you.

Come on, beautiful.

Honestly, Uncle? Seriously?

For a pittance of water to irrigate a vegetable garden?

It's his garden, but not his water. They were stealing.

-Thefts are reported. -On his wedding day?

That's not my fault, it's the judge's.

And the 20,000 pesetas is the judge's fault too?

Good God! Where will they get 20,000 pesetas?

It seems a good price for all the rabbits they stole.

Okay! All this is because of the rabbits. But you...

-Where are you going? -To the station, to see if I can fix this.

Africa.

Let's go.

How long do you think she's been pregnant?

I don't know, but not long, I suppose.

No.

It's been a lot longer than you think.

Do the math.

-You're prettier than ever. -Go, before he's back.

Tell me that child isn't mine.

Get it in your head, it's Manuel's.

I bought the land on the other side of the river.

It's a gift. I never gave you a wedding gift, so this is it.

Your mother made me promise never to tell.

She said you were the daughter of a seasonal worker.

Now you're telling me he was my father?

I love you. I want to be near you and our child.

Don't say that! This child is Manuel's!

-Your uncle! -Don Ramón!

Don Ramón!

Don Ramón!

-How's your uncle? -Better. Low blood pressure, I guess.

For a long time I thought I'd made a mistake with you.

But I couldn't have chosen a better wife for Manuel.

And now you're carrying a Cervantes.

Justa?
