-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -Óscar...

It was buried in Las Sabinas reservoir.

PREVIOUSLY

I don't know how I can still love him.

I feel so lost.

Esther made me realize that I can't get angry like a little girl.

-I feel sorry for your kids. -Shut up, please.

Having a mother like you, I can't imagine anything worse.

You got your wish.

Your daughters are stuck waiting on you in this crappy, little town.

-Screw Julia and me, right? -Grandma, what a surprise. [chuckles]

Didn't you tell your sister I was coming?

He didn't tell anyone.

I'm looking for an experienced agronomist.

If you're interested, the job is yours.

[Paca] You are your mother's daughter. No doubt.

Laura felt strongly about this land, too. And she fought for it like a lioness.

Where are you hiding her?

MANUELA INCOMING CALL

[Paca sobs]

[pants]

Esther, no. Please.

[sobs] Esther.

Esther.

[softly] Mom.

[♪ emotional piano music playing]

Esther, honey, how are you?

What happened? Are you all right?

We are taking her to San Luis hospital.

But is she okay?

She's been stabbed with some scissors. What do you think?

-I'm going with her. -No way. I'm going alone.

I'll drive then.

No, don't drive. You reek of alcohol.

[ambulance engine revving]

[ambulance siren blaring]

[♪ music ends]

[exhales]

Amparo, sorry for not asking you before.

Have you heard from Antón?

Yes, of course. We talk every week.

Did he tell you what he's done to us?

That's between you two, don't you think?

And your grandchildren as well.

Do you know he sold our apartment?

It was his.

It was in his name, but it was our home.

If he's done that, he probably didn't have a choice.

He had you, and you're not exactly short of money.

If he didn't ask me, he must have had his reasons.

[exhales]

You left him alone at the worst moment and took the children with you.

I left him?

[sighs] I won't argue, Amparo.

I've been thinking they could come live with me.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

-Excuse me? -In Barcelona. Just for a while.

No way.

Well, we need to discuss it.

There's nothing to discuss.

Grandma, Trini says your room is ready. Shall I take you there?

Of course, darling.

We'll talk about this later.

[exhales]

-[birds chirping] -[cicadas chittering]

Good morning, Paca.

My mom told me Esther is already home.

How is she?

She's resting now.

What did the doctors say?

[Paca] A few centimeters higher could've killed her.

My God.

She lost a lot of blood, but now she's fine.

All things considered.

I'd like to see her.

-I told you she's resting. -I won't bother her.

Come back later.

I understand you're upset, Paca, but...

that doesn't have anything to do with this.

Everything that's happened to Esther has to do with you, unfortunately.

You may not have stabbed her, but you still ruined her life.

-You're just taking it out on me. -Does that bother you?

It bothers me that she still talks to you after what you've done to her.

But I put up with it

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Come back later.

Mm-hmm. That's right. And the same amount of seeds and organic fertilizer.

Yes. How long would it take to get here?

All right.

Just a quick question. Um... Would it be possible to pay for it later?

A few months. Four or five tops?

Right. And monthly payments?

Okay. No, I'll call and let you know. Thank you.

-[cell phone beeps] -[sighs] Dammit...

I've spoken to dozens of suppliers, and they all want payment in advance.

Don't you have any connections?

I've always worked far away, so I don't ...

Paloma, I haven't complained about the green conversion.

Transition, Dad.

[Emilio] Whatever.

But if it's not possible, it's not possible.

If we want to be competitive, there is no other way.

I know, I'm not saying we're not doing it.

But, we could postpone it for now and stick to what we know.

Mm. The old-fashioned way, you mean.

The cheapest. Look at it that way.

The safest, Paloma. The safest--

-No, Dad. I'm sorry, but no. -[cell phone ringing]

PACA INCOMING CALL

Hello?

Tell me.

What?

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

But is she okay?

[footsteps receding]

[Paloma] Yeah...

[birds chirping]

Did you think about my proposal?

-The kids living with you in Barcelona? -[Amparo] Mm-hmm.

There's nothing to think about.

And don't you think that's a bit selfish?

Wanting to live with my kids is selfish?

You and I know how hard it is for them to live here.

Change is never easy, Amparo.

Right. But it's even worse

when you take away everything they're used to.

Barcelona and Madrid are very similar. We have everything.

Unlike here. The change is too much.

Tell that to your son. He left us no other choice.

They can choose to live with me. Think about it.

They could have the lifestyle they're used to.

You have no job. Money will be tight.

In Barcelona, they'll have everything they need.

Just for one year, while you get back on your feet.

You could come see them anytime. [laughs] It wouldn't be an issue.

I appreciate your offer, but I'm not going to consider it.

Don't think that I'm trying to take your kids away from you.

We both want what's best for them.

I think what's best for Julia and Lucas is staying with their mom.

Have you asked them?

I don't need to ask them to know they would rather be with me.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Truthfully, the whole thing wasn't even my idea, but Lucas'.

He called me and asked me to take them with me.

I'm sorry, but I felt like I had to tell you.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

How about this?

Oh! Perfect.

Hopefully, you'll now be able to get some more sleep.

[sighs] I don't think I can, Mom. Whenever I move, my stitches pull.

You haven't slept either, have you?

Why don't you go rest?

I can't. There's too much do.

[groans softly]

Excuse me.

How are you, darling? Does it hurt?

Just a bit.

You'll feel better after breakfast.

I'm not really hungry.

You need to eat. You can't take all these meds on an empty stomach.

You'll take them now, right?

-Mm. -Here.

Well, I feel better now that I've seen you.

[laughs] It's not a big deal. Thanks, Pilar.

-"Not a big deal"? -Mom, please don't start.

And they still haven't found the bastard yet.

-They will. -[Paca] I hope so.

If Núñez and his team can't, we'll have to do it ourselves.

Mom, are you serious? How can you say something like that?

I can assure you I have the contacts and the means

to search Manterana and its surroundings until we find him.

This is not the Wild West. Calm down and stop talking nonsense.

I won't calm down until he's locked up and paying for what he did to you.

Just think, this wasn't the worst outcome. At most, I'll end up with a scar.

His wife, Lourdes, on the other hand...

she'll have a long way to go before recovering from that relationship.

If she ever manages to, that is.

Esther, you are too good. And not only with Lourdes.

[♪ pensive instrumental music playing]

At work, in your office, at a friend's house...

He doesn't have any friends.

A few acquaintances, but... I don't think he'll be at their house.

Any relatives?

He doesn't have any.

[sighs]

Social Services are preparing you a room in a shelter for...

for women...

Who've suffered abuse, right?

We call them victims of male violence. But, yes.

I'd rather stay here with you.

You'll be more comfortable there. Your husband won't be able to find you.

And there is a support group, which will be very good for you.

Excuse me. Is there any news?

[Manuela] Esther is already home.

No, I know that. I mean about the guy.

His name is Fidel.

He's my husband.

[Manuela] We haven't found him yet. That's why Lourdes is here.

He can't be very far.

It'll be more difficult at night, but they'll find him before nightfall.

-Have you got a minute? -[Manuela] Yes.

Excuse us.

I'm very worried about Esther.

Sometimes, these men become obsessed with the people who helped their wives.

What if he goes after her?

We believe he left town.

Right. But what if he didn't?

His bank account shows that he booked a flight to La Coruña.

Núñez is already at the airport, together with the police, to arrest him.

Right, but can't you send a patrol car to El Acebuche

until he's detained, please?

All our patrols are taking part in the operation.

But I can come by later, if you want. Hmm?

Thank you.

-[Manuela] I've gotta go. -Where are you going?

Can I come with you?

Of course not.

Please, cousin. I'm really worried.

We all are. But we'll find him.

-Are you okay? -[sighs]

All of this brings back really bad memories.

[♪ pensive instrumental music playing]

Of your father.

And my mother.

Lourdes' face...

Do you know how many times I've seen my mother like that?

Scared to death?

Trying to act normal so that Tano and I wouldn't be scared.

Can I give you a piece of advice?

Don't take it personally, Miguel. You've got enough on your plate.

[♪ music swelling]

Easy to say.

Not so easy to do.

I speak from experience. Trust me.

[Gracia] Is it true what Grandma told me?

Tell me the truth, Lucas. Was it your idea to go live with her?

I believe it's what's best.

Do you really think it's a good idea to be apart?

I do.

We don't know what to do anymore, Mom. You change plans every single day.

We're confused.

School hasn't started yet, so you're on your own,

but then you'll meet people...

Right. Lucía Larrea, for example, the only girl our age.

-I like her. -[Lucas] Really? I don't.

-Well, there are more people. -Not interested.

And what can I do to convince you?

Things turned out this way. I didn't choose this.

We know it's Dad's fault, but if we can't go back to Madrid,

-at least we would be in a city. -And not in this cesspit.

Besides, Grandma's got money and you're broke.

We don't wanna be a burden.

Nonsense. You will never be a burden.

I'm very sorry if you got that impression.

But you've always had everything you needed with me, right?

And I've got a job interview. This is a rough patch, it'll pass.

That's the thing. It wouldn't be permanent.

Just this academic year.

Then we'll go back to Madrid when you've found a job.

Living in a city is more important than living with me?

No, that's not what I'm saying.

Do you know what bothers me the most?

You called your Grandma without telling me.

I thought we had an agreement. We were going to be honest, no?

Okay, you're right. I'm sorry. I should have told you before.

[♪ pensive instrumental music playing]

You are minors, and my responsibility. You can't go without my permission.

-Give us permission, then. -Absolutely not.

Mom, understand that going to Barcelona is what's best for us.

Think about it, okay?

[exhales]

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing] -Anything in the apartment?

[Núñez] No movement.

Okay.

And what about the airport?

-[Núñez] Nothing at the airport, either. -Right.

Arana went to talk to Lourdes's mom.

I'm leaving his work colleague's home now.

[Núñez] Did she give you any information?

Yes. She gave me the keys to the office and the address.

[Núñez] Okay. Don't go there alone, all right?

[Manuela] Yes. I'll ask Arana to come with me.

I'll keep you posted. Bye.

How's Manterana's superhero?

[laughs] No. Superheroes catch the bad guy and are good as new the next day.

-Not in bed with stitches. -[chuckles]

In the end, you have to take those days off after all.

Hmm. What else can I do? And with patients on the waiting list.

The world won't end if we take care of you for a change,

instead of you taking care of everyone else. Huh?

Right.

Here. I brought you a gift.

-[♪ soft instrumental music playing] -I didn't have time to wrap it up.

Tomás, you didn't have to.

Lucía Mariscal.

[laughs] I love her. How did you know?

Lawyers are like magicians, we never reveal our tricks.

[chuckles softly]

We've known each other for years. Of course I know what you read. I'm a fan.

-I haven't read this one. -It's just been released.

Let me know if it's any good.

Thank you.

Sure.

[footsteps receding]

Thank you for coming. She'll be thrilled. She cares a lot about you.

[Paloma] Me too. Paca...

Before I go in, I'd like to talk to you about something.

Don't tell me you've reconsidered my offer for Las Sabinas.

[Paloma] Well...

That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Sorry we kept you waiting.

In the end, the heart won over the money.

People say that when the offer isn't enough.

Are you asking me for more?

No. It's not that.

[sighs] I wanted to ask you if your agronomist offer still stands.

Let me get this straight.

You'll sell me your share if I hire you?

No. They are two different things.

I would work for you here, in El Acebuche.

But... No. The deal included both. I don't need you without more land.

But I heard you will have more. The Egea's land.

Look at you.

You just got here, and you already know all the local gossip.

-Is it not true? -[Paca laughs]

It is. We've already signed the contract.

So?

Paca...

I can't let go of Las Sabinas after all that's happened.

It's the only thing I have left of Mom.

I already told your sister that land needs a huge investment.

I'm not sure it's a good idea for you to try and get it off the ground.

I'd invest the money I'd earn working for you

to bring Las Sabinas back to its former glory.

I know it's crazy, Paca, but...

it's what my Mom would have wanted.

If you sell it to me, I can turn it back into what it once was.

-The land is not for sale. -[♪ somber instrumental music playing]

But if you hire me, we'll all succeed.

Working at El Acebuche must be your priority,

over Las Sabinas.

I can take care of both easily.

But El Acebuche has priority.

El Acebuche has priority.

Come by tomorrow, first thing in the morning.

Tomás will have your contract ready.

Thank you.

I'll go see Esther. [laughs]

PESO STREET, 11 1ST FLOOR

[♪ suspenseful instrumental music playing]

-Manuela! -[♪ dramatic instrumental music playing]

[Miguel] Don't go up, he's there!

Don't go up!

Manuela, please, pick up.

Manuela! He's in there!

[♪ music stops]

Fidel?

[♪ dramatic instrumental music resumes]

-[Miguel groans] -[Fidel] No!

-Let me go, please. -[Miguel pants] What?

-Not so brave now? -[Fidel] Let me go.

Miguel!

[♪ music concludes]

What were you thinking?

You prefer I'd let him go?

-[pants] -What if he had a weapon?

I hadn't thought of that.

On your knees.

[pants, grunts]

[Manuela] Hands on your head.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Are you okay?

Yes, I think so.

Thank you.

[sighs]

[cell phone beeps]

[pants]

Núñez. We got him.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

[birds chirping]

-[Emilio] You won't convince me. -[Gracia laughs]

[Emilio] No matter how much you try. You won't. No way.

[Gracia] Hey.

You're back.

-[Paloma] Mm-hmm. -I'll do it myself.

All right. Are you okay there?

-Yes. -Yeah?

I'll...

-Let's... There. -[Paloma sighs]

[Emilio grunts]

[Gracia] Trini said you went to see Esther.

Yeah.

How is she?

She seemed fine.

I'm glad.

It takes courage to confront an abuser.

Indeed.

And...

I've asked Paca to hire me as an agronomist.

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -She said yes.

You're going to work for Paca? Really?

Yes, Dad.

That indeed takes courage.

Don't you realize that woman is a piece of work? It won't go well.

It's our only option if we want to rebuild Las Sabinas.

You saw what happened with the suppliers.

-You insist on transforming-- -Transitioning, Dad.

I'll call it whatever I like.

We all want to be environmentally friendly,

but not at any cost.

And working for her might cost us dearly.

You talk about her as though she's the Devil.

She might have been years ago, but people change.

Maybe, you'll be surprised.

Paca? No.

Do you know what she said when she visited me at hospital?

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

The best part...

is that you'll wish you were dead

when you see me take Las Sabinas from your daughters.

[Paloma] When was that?

In San Luis.

She came in the room all of a sudden.

But, Dad, we were always in San Luis.

Nearly always. Do you think I'd make something like that up?

No, Dad, but you were on a lot of meds. You might not remember clearly.

I remember perfectly well.

She's a snake.

It's clear that she can't be trusted.

I would tread carefully.

Don't worry, Dad, okay?

I will be careful.

This could be good for us. Not only because of the money.

I'll ask her for water from El Acebuche to irrigate our new plots of land.

Ha!

You don't know her.

-I doubt she'll accept. -We can try. We have nothing to lose.

That's true. We have nothing left.

We do have something.

-The land. -[Emilio] Right.

But I'll do everything in my power to avoid losing it.

Mm?

Paloma, can we talk?

Sure.

We'll be right back.

[♪ pensive instrumental music playing]

Right. Gossip is the Devil's radio.

[grunts]

-[sighs] -I can't believe it.

What did the kids say?

That's the worst part.

It was Lucas who called their grandma.

They don't think it's that bad being apart for a year.

Don't worry. They can't leave without your permission.

Not even if it's what they want?

They're shocked by all the changes in their lives and blame Manterana.

I'm sure they'll adapt.

What if leaving is better for them?

A year with their grandma until things get better.

I'm sure she'll find a good school.

She can't give them what you give them.

But, Paloma, we left and now we're here, right?

Be honest.

If you could turn back time,

would you leave?

That's different.

So, don't make comparisons.

-Mom had just died. -[Paloma] Yeah.

And Dad was devastated. But still, Gracia...

Was being alone your best option?

In the city. Barely 18 years old.

I guess it wasn't.

What about you?

If you could go back in time?

I wish I could've chosen because I would've stayed with Dad.

Even though he wouldn't stop crying. Even though he'd hardly say a word.

-[♪ somber instrumental music playing] -I would have stayed with my family.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Me again. I wanted to say goodbye and ask if you needed anything.

I don't.

-Already halfway through? -Well, I have nothing else to do.

And I'm loving it.

At that pace... [laughs] ...you'll finish it in no time.

When I'm done, you can borrow it and we can share our thoughts.

May I come in?

How are you feeling?

Better than yesterday. That's not difficult, though.

-Do they need to run more tests? -[Esther] No.

That's done. I just have to be careful with the stitches.

Well, I should go.

Thank you, Tomás.

[sighs]

You're pretty messed up, aren't you?

Manuela told me.

You're crazy, Miguel.

Putting yourself in danger...

-I'm as crazy as you are, no? -[exhales]

We're the same.

It's different. I did it to protect Lourdes.

A patient you barely know.

-I did it-- -Why?

To protect you.

He could have come after you.

Okay.

Then we're both reckless.

[both laugh]

[laughs] Don't make me laugh...

[inhales] ...the stitches hurt. [exhales]

[sighs]

I spoke with Lucía.

She said it was you who convinced her to come with me.

Thank you.

Your daughter adores you.

She didn't go with you at first because she was convinced

we would stay together.

Is it true that you're not with Gracia?

Yes. I already told you.

Why?

What happened?

Why are you asking that now?

I don't know, Miguel. I think...

I'd rather know,

-even if it hurts. -I don't know.

I think you owe me that, no?

She fooled me.

[♪ melancholic instrumental music playing]

She toyed with me.

She lied to me, and I was stupid enough to believe her.

Well.

You fell in love.

Don't be afraid, say it.

Or that's what I thought.

I don't understand why anyone would hurt someone else just for the sake of it.

Let alone hurt you.

Of course you don't understand, 'cause you're not like that.

Neither are you.

Perhaps...

I deserve what she's done.

Thanks for telling me.

You said it.

It's the least I can do--

I've always loved this trust we had in each other.

We could talk about anything.

We still have that, don't we?

It's not the same anymore.

Do you think someday...

I don't know.

I don't know. Right now, I...

don't think so.

I don't know what I was thinking. I ruined everything we had.

I'm a fool.

You can't imagine how much I regret what I've done.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

[♪ melancholic music intensifying]

My dad said Núñez told him off big-time.

No wonder.

It's weird.

What is?

Thinking about my Dad busting someone's ass.

Someone who stabbed Esther

and beat his own wife.

Do you mean he deserved it?

What does a so-called man who's violent towards women deserve?

Don't get upset with me, Grandma.

Sorry, I'm not upset.

I'm so sorry, darling.

You can tell me.

I'm not stupid.

I've heard you talking. You, Paca, Dad...

I know your husband was like that guy.

Your grandfather...

had many problems.

And yes.

He was a bad person.

Is that why you never remarried?

Because you think it may happen again?

It's difficult to come across someone like Fernando, but not impossible.

I don't know. Perhaps,

it's true that I've always been scared of going through the same again.

Would you like to be with somebody?

I don't know.

I think falling in love is cool.

Yes. It is indeed, sweetheart.

And to love as well.

I mean, apart from passion, which is treacherous sometimes.

Were you crazy about Grandpa?

-[♪ somber instrumental music playing] -I was for a while.

I even came to love him.

And did he?

A man who beats a woman doesn't love her.

Even if he says otherwise and apologizes, and says

he loves her too much. It's not true.

It's not true, sweetheart.

You don't hurt someone you love.

Lucía.

Promise me.

You will never let a man abuse you.

Grandma, I don't know those kinds of men.

It doesn't matter. Just promise me.

I promise, Grandma.

All right, sweetheart.

My baby.

-[Lucas] One... three... -[Julia] Two... four...

-[laughs] -You are such a loser.

-Let me try again. -[Lucas] No.

Have you thought about Barcelona?

Yes.

I believe families must stick together no matter what.

However, I also believe that, in some circumstances, it's not possible.

I won't make a scene.

It hurts so much to let you go...

but my love for you is stronger than my pain.

You've both made it clear that you'll be better off with Grandma.

And I trust you.

So, I give you my permission to go to Barcelona.

[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

Does Grandma know?

No, I haven't told her yet.

-I can tell her, right? -Of course.

We'll call you every day.

You won't even notice we're gone.

Okay.

Aren't you going to tell Grandma?

I have nothing to tell her.

I'm staying here with you.

[laughs]

[birds chirping]

Son, are you okay?

-What were you thinking? -Don't tell me off.

Getting into a fight...

Hmm.

-I'm so proud of you. -[laughs]

-[Silvia sighs] -[Miguel] Mm.

I didn't raise my kids to look the other way.

I visited Esther.

Did you? You're cut from the same cloth.

And how is she?

Fine.

She'll be back to normal in a few days.

And what's going on with you two?

Nothing.

It was weird going back to that house, to that room,

and seeing that I don't belong there.

[♪ mellow pop music playing in the background]

She's still hurting.

And despite all that, she's loving, grateful...

We talked about everything as though nothing happened.

She's so serene, so peaceful...

That's Esther, she's...

like coming back home.

The exact opposite of Gracia.

[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

How could I be so stupid, Mom?

-[sobs] -[Silvia] It's okay.

I threw away what we had...

It's okay, darling.

It's useless to torture yourself about it now.

What you need to do

is look for a solution.

Fight for her.

To get back everything you had.

Do you think I stand a chance?

[Silvia] Of course.

You love her.

And I'm sure she loves you, too.

Don't give up, darling.

Not now.

[♪ emotional instrumental music intensifying]

[♪ music fades]

What are you watching?

Nothing. I was going to bed.

I'd like to talk to you.

Your brother told me you're not coming to Barcelona after all.

So, why not? I thought you were excited about it.

I was, but I think it's best to stay here.

Mom needs me.

It's very kind of you to think about your mother.

But she already has her sister and her father here.

You should think about what's best for you and your future.

What will happen when you go back to Madrid? If you ever go back...

Do you think the level of the school here will be enough?

It's the same everywhere. The textbooks are the same.

Right.

But I'm sure they are less demanding here.

Can't you see most of them won't go to university?

Don't be silly.

There's still time.

Come to Barcelona.

[Emilio] Excuse me.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Julia should be in bed by now.

Sure. [laughs] Of course.

-[Julia] Goodnight, Grandpa. -Goodnight.

[Amparo] Goodnight.

[grunts]

[sighs]

What will Fidel's sentence be?

It won't be small.

For now, let's hope that the judge holds him in prison

while he awaits trial.

Abusive behavior and assaulting Esther with a bladed weapon.

I'm looking forward to telling Lourdes she can go back home

without worrying about that beast.

Hm. We need to fill in the arrest report.

What will you write?

Same thing as you.

Same thing we'll say during the trial.

We suspected the attacker would go to his office

in order to get some money and flee, that's why we were keeping an eye on it.

That's the reason why he went there.

Manuela, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have caught him, right?

That's what matters.

Even though you ignored protocol.

You should have gone with Arana.

Working with a partner is essential to avoid unnecessary risks.

I was with a partner.

My cousin.

-[laughs] -Although I didn't know that. [laughs]

Thank God your cousin wasn't harmed.

-Otherwise, you would be in trouble. -[laughs]

Right. Can you write the report?

I have to prepare the package to send Óscar's cell phone to the UCO.

I haven't had time yet.

As you wish.

I can take care of the phone if you want.

-What's wrong? -Did you move it?

-Are you sure it's not there? -Look.

No, it can't be.

-I'm sure someone took it. -Who?

No one can move evidence unless you give the order.

It's been stolen, Sergeant.

It's been stolen.

[birds chirping]

And we'll install smart irrigation sensors.

I didn't know El Acebuche was so modern.

It's nothing like Las Sabinas.

No farmland in this century is like Las Sabinas.

[Paloma laughs]

Forgive me, but that place is utterly forsaken.

Well, that's why I'm here.

I'll bring it up-to-date.

With a bit of luck, we'll be competitive in less than a year.

I reckon you'll need more than a bit of luck.

Speaking of which, Paca, um...

I need a favor.

Another one? Girl, you've just started.

[chuckles]

We'd like to plant seeds in some plots that haven't been used for a long time,

and we can't irrigate due to the contamination issue.

Would it be possible to use your water?

At a reasonable price, of course.

You just need to authorize it with the local river basin agency.

I know it's a lot to ask

with how things currently stand with my father, but it would be

a good way to show everyone that you have no problems with him.

I don't have a problem with him.

He has a problem with me.

I'll ask Miguel to prepare the paperwork.

Don't worry about the price.

I'll accept whatever you deem fair.

Thanks, Paca.

It really means a lot.

Well, then prove it by doing your best here.

[laughs]

You've seen it all.

Can you think of any way to improve productivity?

I need to look into it because I'm new here,

but I would choose a variety of crops.

Combine species which complement each other.

Uh! Very creative.

[laughs]

I'd do a trial year for each species.

Especially if we want to introduce exotic species.

It's worth it because, if they take root, the benefits would skyrocket.

What do you think?

[♪ romantic instrumental music playing]

[Paloma] Paca?

[laughs] Paca.

What?

Where were you?

I'm sorry. [laughs]

I was just thinking that you have your mother's eyes.

[Paloma chuckles]
