Original subtitles

[Marisol] Álex arrived this morning from Brazil.

PREVIOUSLY

-I'm really sorry. -Thank you.

[Manuela] Traces of a poisonous substance have been found on his clothes.

[Núñez] The poor guy had too much to drink

and was unfortunate enough to fall down a well.

There are too many other possibilities.

-What is this? -Óscar Egea's autopsy report.

Óscar's death can be traced to us.

I had a water sample from the reservoir analyzed.

My father was right. It's poisoned.

You asked Gracia for help?

Honestly, she's still very attractive.

-And Elena? -Well, Elena and I are just friends.

Paca called me yesterday. She wants to buy our share of Las Sabinas.

Does Dad know?

How much harm will we cause if we continue? You're getting married.

We wanted to discuss it with you first.

[Emilio] Do you know how long I've been breaking my back for this land?

Dad. Dad!

[sobs]

[♪ tense instrumental music plays, fades]

[♪ theme music playing]

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

-[♪ dramatic instrumental music playing] -[birds chirping]

[Julia] Mom!

What's going on? What happened?

It's Grandpa, he had a seizure.

Where were you? I've been calling you.

Dad! Dad!

He can't hear you. It looks like a stroke.

Where are you taking him?

To San Luis Hospital. I have my car, want me to take you?

[Gracia] No. I'll follow in mine.

-[Trini] I'm coming, too. -No.

Please stay with the children.

I'll call you as soon as I know more. Please.

Don't worry, Mom. Don Emilio will pull through this. He's tough.

Will he be okay?

It's too early to say, Gracia. I can't tell you anything else. Let's go.

[Gracia] Yes.

-[birds singing] -[♪ pleasant instrumental music playing]

[Esther] Okay. Thank you anyway.

Thank you. Goodbye.

What did they say?

I wasn't able to talk to the doctor because he was with Emilio.

What do you think it was?

It's a stroke. They confirmed it.

Anyway, until the test results come back,

blood tests, ECG and CT scans, we won't know anything else.

So, when he furiously stormed into your engagement party,

that was a sign.

Mom.

[Paca] What?

Better to have a stroke than to go gaga.

-I've no doubt about that. -Please, stop.

Were you up at the hospital until late?

[sighs] I don't know, until the early morning.

I didn't want to leave Gracia and Paloma alone.

It really affected them.

[Paca] You haven't slept at all.

No. I'm gonna go. I want to stop by the hospital

and talk to the doctor before going to work.

[Paca] Haven't you done enough kilometers already?

Stay here and have a quiet breakfast. His daughters will still be with him.

No, Mom, I'd rather go. As a colleague. they'll be more straightforward with me,

so I'm bridging the gap between them and the doctors.

All right, but at least sit down and have some toast and coffee first.

[sighs]

Do you think he will recover?

It doesn't look good.

Lost in thought?

I'm just thinking of poor Emilio.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you yesterday. I left as soon as Trini called.

By the way, where were you?

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -I was with Tano, having a few beers.

He wanted to talk about the council.

I'm going.

-[kissing] -Bye.

-[Paca] Call me when you know more. -[Esther] Yes.

How can she call anyone when she left her phone here?

Esther!

Esther!

[birds tweeting]

[♪ tense instrumental music intensifying]

Off she goes, running around like a headless chicken.

[cell phone ringing]

Fabián. Hello.

Yes, I know you were waiting for a response.

Yes. I understand you're in a hurry.

Fabián, something has happened.

My father had a stroke. I'm at the hospital.

Right now, I don't know when I can come back full-time.

I'll call you as soon as I know, okay?

Thank you. See you later.

From the vending machine. I'm not sure how it will taste.

[Gracia sighs] Thank you.

You're welcome. Was that work?

Yes. I left everything in a mess when I came to Manterana.

I didn't think I was going to be gone this long.

I see. Can't you work remotely?

I already do, but it's not enough.

My boss wants me to go to meetings, see customers.

In fact, I'm sorry.

I wanted to move forward with the center and I haven't been able to.

Don't let that get to you, okay? Please.

It can wait. Your father comes first.

Besides, Atenor Forest has been there for a thousand years,

it can wait a few more days.

No, really. I just want you to know that I'm here if you need anything.

You coming here is enough.

Thank you.

[cell phone ringing]

Answer it if you need to. Don't worry about me.

No. No, it's just my boss. What a nuisance.

[♪ melancholic instrumental music playing]

[Marisol] These are from the wreath sent by the council.

Yes. That was a lovely gesture.

And the tribute in his memory, too.

Yes.

But in this town, we're nobodies now.

Oh, Mom.

Don't say that.

Everyone here loves you.

And they'll remember Óscar fondly.

I don't see myself staying somewhere where everything reminds me of him.

And I don't want people looking at me with pity. No.

It's already been decided.

Your sister and I are leaving.

Where are you going?

To my parent’s town.

With my sister.

And you're okay with this?

What about the farm?

Do you want to take care of the land?

Me?

No, I can't. I have to go back to Brazil.

I'm in the middle of a project. It's not possible.

Then we'll have to sell it, right?

It's a good farm.

We can get a decent price for it.

Well, if you're okay with it, then I have no problem with it either.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but what else can we do?

Who would be interested in buying it? The Molinas?

Emilio had a stroke.

And, as far as I know, Las Sabinas hasn't been thriving lately.

I'm sure Paca will be interested. And money isn't an issue for her.

Your brother would turn in his grave.

-Why? -Why do you think?

Óscar was opposed to the way that woman exploits the land.

It's the opposite of what he stood for.

That's true.

Selling the farm to Paca would be a betrayal.

Yeah.

[cell phone ringing]

It's the courthouse.

Yes?

Yes, this is he.

And what did she say?

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Okay, uh, thanks. Mm?

Bye.

[cell phone beeps]

The judge has finished examining Óscar’s case.

And?

She concluded that his death was accidental.

[exhales]

[♪ intriguing instrumental music playing]

They said it would be less than an hour, and it's been an hour and a half already.

The more thorough they are the better, right?

I don't know. I guess so.

-It's just-- -[knocking on door]

Hey.

They're not done yet.

I know. I just spoke with Dr. Echevarría.

She needs to do a few more tests

to rule out any damage to the arteries leading to the brain.

-Do they know anything yet? -The truth. Please, Esther.

The doctors said we should wait--

Yes. And there's no other choice, Paloma.

Right now, we don't know what's will happen.

It all depends on how things evolve and which part of the brain is affected.

Surely, they could do something in the meantime. I'm just saying.

Yes. What they're already doing now.

[sighs]

Put him on oxygen and keep monitoring him

to prevent any further brain swelling.

The first 24 hours are crucial.

But…

I mean, what are the odds of him not recovering?

There's no point in talking about probabilities.

So, there's a chance he won't recover?

If he does, there could be long-term effects.

Such as?

Maybe nothing at all. Every patient is different.

But his speech might be affected, his motor control, his balance…

It's too early to say at the moment, but you should be prepared for anything.

[sighs]

[♪ melancholic instrumental music playing]

Seriously? Accidental death?

-Manuela… -Case closed, just like that?

Judge Vigil decided to close the investigation.

-She didn't see any reason not to. -How can that be?

What about the anxiolytics in his blood?

Exactly. The presence of anxiolytics

only supports the theory that it was an accident.

He didn't take pills. He hated all that.

He wasn't taking any pills that you knew of. But…

Manuela, I know it's not easy, but you need to move on.

If he was taking anxiolytics, why didn't he tell me?

It's not unusual to keep something like that to yourself.

When I arrived in Manterana,

I was prescribed anxiety medication until I got used to working here.

You never told me that.

I never told anyone.

I don't think it's a bad thing. I'm not ashamed of it.

I mean, why worry others with something so insignificant?

It seems that no one in this town cares that Óscar is dead.

That's enough.

Manuela, we were all affected by his death.

But engaging in speculation is not practical or professional.

Have you stopped to think about the harm you could do to his family,

putting such ideas in their heads?

We have no choice but to obey the judge's ruling.

The judge didn't know Óscar. We do.

Those most closely affected by a case

are always the least objective, as you should know.

We follow a chain of command.

I am your superior.

Therefore, I order you to obey Vigil's decision from now on.

The case is closed. Period.

Understood?

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Understood.

Well, let's go then, we've got a lot of work to do.

Come on.

[ECG monitor beeping]

We should have told him.

What?

That we had an offer from Paca.

Why is that relevant? You don't think it has something to do with the stroke?

Of course it does.

You should've seen how he reacted when he found out.

Do you think it would have been better for us to tell him first?

Dad was sick. That's why we came to Manterana, right?

And even knowing that, I still lost my temper.

He thought we had betrayed him.

I don't want that to be his last impression of us.

I'll never forgive myself.

Don't think about that now.

How can I not think about it? I can't think of anything else.

If I had kept better control of myself, he wouldn't be here like this.

No. Don't blame yourself.

Dad already had a seizure before we arrived.

It's just another setback. That's all.

What do we do?

Let's think about how we can prepare for when Dad recovers from this.

Because he will. You hear me?

[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

[ECG monitor continues beeping]

[♪ pleasant instrumental music playing]

[inaudible]

[ECG monitor beeping]

[♪ music fades]

[birds chirping]

Do you want me to call your teacher to explain why you haven't been to class?

It's a summer course.

Everyone knows why I haven't been.

Oh, well.

-And what time is the bus? -On the hour.

We're early, no?

Better than waiting at home.

You don't have to stay with me if you don't want to.

I take the bus alone every day.

I'm tired of staying indoors, too.

[♪ pensive instrumental music playing]

What's the matter?

Nothing.

If you don't want to tell me, then don't,

but don't say there's nothing wrong when it's clear that something is.

My mind's been going around in circles these past few days,

but I don't want to worry you.

So, you're also going to be like Mom,

who decided we should leave town without even asking me first?

I'm fed up of you both treating me like a little girl.

It's silly, really. It could be nothing...

I didn't tell you before because Mom gets anxious, as you know.

Did you know Óscar took anxiety medication?

No.

Well, they found traces of it after running some tests.

I didn't know anything about it.

But he'd been antisocial for a while.

What do you mean?

Towards the end, he was pretty rude to me.

Well, to me and everybody else.

And he was kind of tense all the time.

Yes, that's true. I noticed that, too.

I don't know. Maybe it was something with a girl, or with the land.

Maybe it was the Australian girl.

What Australian girl?

You didn't know?

He met a girl from Sydney while he was on vacation in Tenerife.

When?

A few months ago.

Her name was Miranda.

And what happened?

No idea.

The distance, I guess.

She went back to Australia.

At first, he sent her postcards.

Postcards?

No one sends postcards anymore.

I suppose he liked old traditions.

He was kind of a romantic.

Have you told this girl?

No, I don't know how. I don't have her phone number.

Well, maybe we can find her number or an address on a postcard or something.

Hmm. Okay.

I didn't know he was dating some girl.

That he wasn't anymore.

He never told me.

You spoke every week, didn't you?

I should have made more of an effort.

-[sighs] -It wouldn't have changed anything.

I mean…

The judge said it was an accident, no?

[bus approaching]

[bus stops]

Hello.

Hi, dear. Please pass me my phone.

Heard anything about Don Emilio?

Not a word. I've waited all morning

for Gracia or Paloma to call me, and nothing.

Well, no news is good news.

How could it be good, Richi? Come on.

Mom, Don Emilio's got more lives than a cat.

Remember when he caught the flu?

The very next day, he was running around with his hoe.

I remember him getting lost in the woods.

He looked so helpless,

sitting on that log, barefoot.

Why don't you go to the hospital?

I should go, right?

Well, yes.

I was waiting for them to call me. I don't want to disturb them.

How would you be disturbing them, Mom?

[sobs] What do I know, darling?

-Hey… -What do I know?

Hey.

[knife rattles]

-Hey. -[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

You really care for him, don't you?

It's been so many years.

Come on.

But I'm perfectly aware of my role in this house.

We've been considering planting some trees in his honor.

Just between the road and the river.

We believe he would have liked it better than having a street named after him,

or another week of mourning.

I'm sure he would have.

I also thought you could say a few words.

I'm not really the best person for that.

How is that possible? Who knows your brother better than you?

Well, I'd rather you do it.

I'm not one for giving speeches.

Well, at the funeral the other day, you moved us all, honestly.

A funeral is one thing, but a public ceremony...

The mayor should do it.

No?

Whatever you want.

Thank you.

I might as well use this opportunity to tell you

that my mom is considering selling the farm.

If you can think of anyone who may be interested, please let us know.

It's just we'd prefer not to sell it to Paca Utrera.

-No. My brother didn't get along with her. -Yeah.

You know who might be interested?

The council.

We have a project underway together with the university,

and that land would be a perfect fit, right between the forest and the village.

Would you be open to offers?

Yes, yes. Right. Of course.

Yes.

[ECG monitor beeping]

-[exhales] -[ventilator hissing rhythmically]

Why don't you go home and rest?

We don't know how long it's going to be. It's best we get organized, no?

You go.

I'd rather stay.

I feel bad too, you know?

If I had been there when you were arguing,

maybe things wouldn't have gotten so out of hand like that thing with Mom.

Hmm.

So, where were you?

With Miguel.

I thought it was over,

but coming back to Manterana and seeing him again…

It's stirred up a lot of feelings within me.

Gracia, look, I…

I understand that he was your first love,

that things with Antón aren't great--

It's more than that. My marriage is over.

Okay. Maybe yours is.

But what about Miguel? He's about to get married.

-You don't care-- -Make no mistake,

I don't intend to intrude on that relationship.

Nothing happened between us.

Well, we kissed.

-Oh, please. -[Gracia] That's all.

To bring closure to a relationship that didn't end well at the time.

Gracia, I don't want you to suffer.

Don't worry. We're both very clear about it.

[♪ melancholic instrumental music playing]

-Thank you. -Why?

You didn't have to tell me.

And I like that we sharing secrets like when we were little.

Do you remember?

[laughs]

[ECG monitor continues beeping]

[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

[♪ music fades]

[ECG monitor beeping]

[Paloma] Do you think he can hear us?

-No. -[softly] No.

If he could, there would be changes on the monitor, right?

Knowing him. [laughs]

Seeing him like this, with how he was before…

Well, with how he is now....

Hmm.

[Paloma] I keep thinking he's going to chew us out at any given moment.

[cell phone ringing]

[whispers] Sorry.

[cell phone continues ringing]

[ringing stops]

Hello.

[Miguel] How's your father?

Did Esther not tell you?

Yes, but I don't know whether anything's changed.

No. He's still in a coma.

And you? How are you?

Me? Well, they're not sure if my father's going to make it.

[Miguel] They got to him in time. You'll see, he'll recover.

Yeah.

Are you at the hospital?

Yes. I've gone out to the hallway to talk.

Can I see you?

[♪ melancholic instrumental music playing]

I'd rather you not.

If there’s anything I can do… I don't know.

Stop calling me, Miguel.

I'm tired.

And I feel awful because my father was having a stroke,

while I was with you.

Surely, you don't think that has anything to do with it?

I don't know. All I know is that history is repeating itself

and I don't like it at all.

Don't think about that now.

And you can? You can just ignore everything that bothers you?

Don't you feel guilty about Esther?

Look, your father's health is the only thing that matters.

I wanted to comfort you, but I see I'm doing just the opposite.

I'll let you go, you'll want to be with him.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

[sighs]

[♪ music fades]

-[birds singing] -[dog barking]

Hi, dear.

Hello.

-Hey. How is it going? -Hello.

Will you eat with me?

Oh, I came to take something away so I can eat at work.

Give yourself a break. Life can't all be about work.

I can't, really. I don't have time.

Come on. It will be quicker for you to eat here.

Okay, at least I tried, but there's just no arguing with you two.

Plus, you must be exhausted, running and down the hospital all day.

-Mm. -[scoffs] Emilio, isn't it?

Oh, well. Other than that, how's the wedding going? [chuckles]

I didn't know organizing a wedding took so long.

Hmm.

Like I don't have enough to do in my day-to-day life.

-Well, put Miguel to work. -Yes.

He's good at floral arrangements.

[laughs]

So you were talking about floral arrangements last night.

Last night?

Yes. Didn't you go for a beer together?

Um…

It's okay. I wouldn't have been able to go anyway.

It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. But next time, we'll count you in.

No, you'll start talking about football and local politics. I can't stand it.

[laughs]

[ECG monitor beeping]

They're from the garden. He says it's his favorite smell in the world.

Poor Don Emilio.

Las Sabinas is his life. When he found out that he might lose it…

Your son thought it was worth it.

Make sure you tell him that.

You're blaming him now?

If you'd just been clear with your father, he wouldn't have gotten so upset.

I know, I know. Sorry.

It's because we knew how it was going to affect him

that we wanted to tell him at the right time.

We never counted on you eavesdropping in on our conversation,

-or that you and your son would tell him-- -You could have warned me.

How could we? We didn't know you'd heard anything.

This is not the time or place to argue about this.

Oh, no. This is the place.

Richi and I have been caring for your father for years,

and not once did we catch sight of either of you.

Slow down, you don't know the half of it.

I don't need to, whatever it may be!

You have no right to blame us for anything!

Look at you both standing there, acting like distressed daughters.

You never called him, not once, not even on Christmas!

During that entire time, we were his only family.

So let's be clear. You have no right to say what we can or can't tell him.

Okay? Just to be clear.

[Trini sobs]

[birds chirping]

[Tano] How's it going?

What are you fixing now?

-[Miguel] The fence. -Hmm.

I had lunch with Esther.

Oh, lucky you.

I've been busy with this all morning.

Why did you say you were with me last night?

-You didn't tell her that-- -No, I didn't say anything,

but I was about to.

Next time you want to use me as an alibi, let me know in advance.

There won't be another time.

-Okay. -That's it.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

And where were you, if I may ask?

With Gracia.

What do you mean "with Gracia"?

I didn't say anything to Esther so she wouldn't worry.

And?

Does she have reason to?

You know how important Gracia was to me.

Seeing her again has made me feel confused.

We had to clear things up, and that's what we did.

I'm just telling you…

be careful what you get into.

I'm not getting into anything.

Miguel, I've only ever given you two or three pieces of advice in my life.

But now, I'll give you another.

Give it up. Forget about her. Because if you keep this up,

you'll end up losing Esther.

And that's not what you want.

[♪ pensive instrumental music playing]

You know what this is? Sometimes, we have people by our side

who we take for granted.

I know that perfectly well. Esther is an extraordinary woman.

That's why I asked her to marry me.

So be honest with her. It's the least she deserves.

[♪ pensive instrumental music continues]

Trini, are you okay?

Yes. I felt a little dizzy, so I sat down.

-Don't worry, I'm leaving. -[Paloma] Wait.

Don't go, Trini.

If you're going to keep trashing us, then save your breath, Paloma.

Not at all. I think… I think you're absolutely right.

I haven't been fair to you. Either of you.

Gracia and I are so grateful that you have taken care of our father.

And what you said is true. You're his family.

I haven't been fair either.

You both clearly have reasons for not coming here before.

Paloma, I'm not stupid. Your father is not an easy-going man,

but that doesn't give me the right to judge you.

And I don't usually talk like that.

The things you said are true, Trini. I have nothing to blame you for.

I hope you can forgive me for what I said.

Truly.

We're all very nervous. That's normal.

To see your father in a hospital bed, with all those cables and machines…

Mm.

Will you forgive me?

Come here, lovely.

If your father pulls through this, he's going to need all of us.

Yes.

We're going to have to be united.

[♪ music fades]

[birds tweeting]

Can you imagine going 20 years without seeing one another?

You and me? [chuckles] Don't give me ideas.

Do you think it could happen? Like Mom and Paloma.

I don't know. I guess it depends on us, right?

I couldn't spend 20 years without talking to Mom or Dad.

-You can't say that. -Yes, I can. They're our parents.

Yeah. Grandpa was Mom's father, and look.

It's not the same.

Hmm. That's true.

Let's make a pact.

[♪ soft instrumental playing music]

-A sibling pact? -Yes.

Let's never lose touch.

Even if we live in different places?

-I mean it. -[chuckles] Me too.

You're not the perfect brother… but, hey, things could be worse.

Same here.

[sighs]

How do seal it?

[birds chirping]

A shot?

[♪ uplifting instrumental music playing]

[♪ music fades]

[ECG monitor beeping]

[cell phone vibrating]

It's Mom! Hide this.

[♪ uplifting instrument music resumes]

[♪ music fades]

Hi, Mom. How's Grandpa?

He's still asleep. How are you? How are you coping out there?

-All right. -[Gracia] What are you doing?

Nothing. Just on our tablets. Uh, when are you coming back?

I don't know. I'm staying overnight.

There's some steak and pasta in the fridge, okay?

Don't worry, we can survive for one night by ourselves, right?

Yeah. Don't go to bed late, please.

[Lucas] Okay.

Yeah, right. And don't fight.

-No. -No.

-Kisses. -[Lucas] Goodbye.

Goodbye.

-Come on. -[♪ uplifting instrumental music resumes]

[laughs]

To not going 20 years without seeing one another.

[coughs]

Uh! Gross.

-[blows, coughs] -[laughs]

-Wow. -[♪ music concludes]

[exhales shakily]

To not going 20 years without seeing one another.

[chuckles]

Two black coffees.

Hmm. Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

This afternoon coffee break is a new habit.

I wanted to talk to you.

We could have met at the office, as usual, right?

Yes. But I prefer not to mix work with personal matters.

-Hmm. -Actually, I wanted to apologize.

[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

I behaved like an idiot the last time we met.

-Yes, you did a little. -Hmm.

-I don't like getting mixed signals. -I know. And that wasn't my intention.

When we started…

When we started this relationship, we were both very clear, right?

-Hmm. -No commitment,

but still being honest with one another.

It's worked well for us so far, right?

Neither of us has to hide, right?

-No. -There's no need to explain anything.

I just didn't understand why you were so cold, Tano. It's like…

It's like you were rejecting me.

Hmm. Yes, I know. I've had a lot on my mind lately.

-And with Óscar's death recently-- -Okay. I'll accept that as an excuse.

[exhales]

I'm glad that you wanted to apologize to me.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

Sometimes, we take the people at our side for granted.

I don't want that to happen with you.

This is the first time we've talked about our relationship since it started.

I don't hate it.

Okay. [chuckles]

[both laughing]

We're going to have to have more afternoon coffee breaks, hmm?

Mm-hmm. That's fine with me.

-Okay? -Yeah.

-Yes? -Mm-hmm.

-Good. -[chuckles]

-[♪ reflective instrumental music playing] -[cicadas chirping]

So, case closed, right?

That's what the judge decided, yes.

It's best for everyone.

The best, but it's not all good news.

There's something you're not going to like.

What happened?

The Egea estate. Tano has made them an offer.

Tano?

Not him personally, the council.

I told you to let me test the waters. Now, it won't be so easy.

How is the fencing?

I think it's time to change it.

Can we stick with the one we have for a few more weeks?

[Miguel] Yes, sure. It's not a priority.

Then let's wait.

If things go well, we may have to place a larger order.

A few days ago, I made Paloma Molina an offer

for her and her sister's share of Las Sabinas.

-What did they say? -[Paca] They would think about it.

But after what happened to Emilio, I think it's only a matter of days.

You knew about this?

This is the first I've heard about it.

What? It doesn't sound good to you?

Not good, not bad. I'm just surprised you didn't tell me anything.

I'm telling you now, right?

It's no surprise

I want to expand my land and make the farm more productive.

I took the opportunity to make her an offer.

Like your brother, with the Egeas.

-What about my brother? -Hasn't he told you?

He got the upper hand on us.

You want the Egea's land as well?

I did know that.

It didn't seem the right time to bother the family.

But, apparently, that didn't concern your brother.

Are you sure? That's not Tano’s style.

Ask Tomás.

He made them an offer today.

Do you know why the council wants that land?

You want me to talk to Tano?

Of course not. When have I ever asked you to be my messenger?

[Miguel sighs]

[kissing]

Are you working on your presentation?

No. I'm not going to the conference after all.

How come?

I have too many things on my mind. I'm not feeling up to it.

Miguel, really, I have a lot of work. Um…

Can you spare two minutes? I want to tell you something.

I lied to you this morning. I wasn't with Tano last night.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Where were you?

Uh…

I ran into Gracia. I was with her.

Why didn't you tell me?

I guess I didn't want you to get the wrong idea.

What am I supposed to think?

I don't know.

We were just talking.

You believe me, right?

And if you were just talking, why…

why lie about it?

Because the other day I was late because I was with her.

I thought it would upset you.

You thought it was going to upset me, but you did it anyway.

I admit that

seeing her after so long has thrown me off a little.

And, well, we had things to talk about.

Yes, I can understand that.

But I don't understand why you lied to me.

I already told you, so you wouldn't worry. It's nothing serious, really.

You think so?

Look.

This was our relationship until today.

[paper crumpling]

And that's how you've left it.

You've never lied to me before, as far as I know.

Never. I promise.

[♪ tense piano music playing]

I ask you to forgive me and to keep trusting me.

[scoffs]

I do forgive you, Miguel.

The problem is…

look how this paper turned out.

It's not torn. You can still write on it.

But it isn't the same anymore.
