Time has treated you well.

Better than you treated me.

PREVIOUSLY

-[Esther] That woman looks like… -[Miguel] Laura.

She's back from the dead.

I would have done anything to be with her.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

It's odd that she was pronounced dead. I'll talk to Núñez about it.

If you want to be a happy family again, she's all yours. You can keep her.

-Are you in love with Álex? -Maybe.

What are you doing?

I have no idea.

[Álex] I've failed her, I've failed Daniel…

Above all, I've failed my vows.

I want to jump off the waterfall, like we did when we were kids.

I want you to encourage me.

To go hand in hand together and jump into the unknown.

I want that too. Me too.

I want you to marry me.

[laughs]

Are you serious?

Think about it.

[♪ theme music playing]

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

[♪ melancholic instrumental music playing]

Tell me something, Paca.

And tell me the truth.

Would you rather believe that I'm still dead?

I would.

I don't believe you.

You are shaking. Me too.

Because, at last, after all this time, we are together.

Again.

In this world that we created just for the two of us, my love.

-You and me. -No.

-Yes. -No.

[♪ music concludes]

[Núñez] All right. As you wish.

Very well. All right. Thank you very much for everything. Bye.

Any problems?

No. Just that you didn't need to let the court know

about Laura Montalbo's case. They had been informed already.

How?

Laura herself did it.

It looks like she's started the process to prove that she's alive.

Well, it's only natural, isn't it?

That way she can get her life back as soon as possible.

I feel sorry for her family.

First, it was Emilio, and now the mother has legal issues too.

It happens when you fake your own death.

Why would she do that?

The question is, why would she want to come back?

Disappearing is not a crime.

Faking your own death and pretending to be someone else is, though.

Identity theft.

She could be sentenced to three years in prison.

And three to six on top of that for forging official documents.

-The death certificate. -[Núñez] Or the ID.

And potentially disappearing to avoid paying debts.

Would you have come back…

knowing that it was a crime and you would have to pay?

Are you leaning towards a personal reason?

Running away is almost always personal.

One thing is clear, she would have avoided all this

if she had just disappeared.

Now,

let's see what Laura says. And, above all,

the grave's exhumation.

Have you ever wanted to do that?

What? Disappear?

[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

No… but why are you asking me that?

Are you all right?

Yes. I'm fine.

[♪ melancholic instrumental music playing]

Didn't you say that the access was closed?

-No. We are not going to the waterfall. -Ah.

I want you to marry me on that day.

You're hypnotized by your phone like a teenager. What are you looking at?

Nothing. What do you want to talk about?

[exhales] Now, about nothing, 'cause I have to go to school.

[Gracia] Okay…

-What's wrong? -Nothing. I'm invisible.

Mom, don't forget to tell Tano about the paper.

Yes, I'll tell him. Don't worry.

[birds chirping]

What's going on with her?

Nothing. She has to do a paper for school about the council

and asked me to talk to Tano.

Well, it's good that you are friends with the mayor.

What's that face?

-[chuckling] -It's nothing.

Tell me what's going on, that face is not "nothing."

Tano and I slept together.

-[♪ calm instrumental music playing] -Don't look at me like that.

We didn't do anything that two adults can't do.

It's not that. It's just that it's weird that you tell me, I'm your mother.

Mom, I don't understand you.

Telling you about my life is a mistake. And not telling you is a mistake too.

Okay… Okay. Don't mind me.

I'm really happy for you.

I'm really happy for both of you.

I've never thought about it, but you make a great couple.

-Yeah? You think? -[Paloma laughs] Yes, yes.

But what's wrong?

[sighs]

Didn't you like him in bed?

-Of course I did. Of course. -So?

He asked me to marry him.

What?

Are you kidding me?

-I'm not. -I don't understand, Tano.

I can't understand why you're asking people to marry you just like that.

Mom, that sounds terrible.

It's not like I am asking anyone on the street to marry me.

-Gracia is my partner. We are together. -[sighs]

Ah, right. This is because it's her, isn't it?

No, no, no.

That's in the past, and you know it.

It's because of what you did.

It doesn't matter if it's Gracia or Marie Antoinette, it's crazy.

Who asks that on the first night in this century?

-Just imagine my reaction. -What happened to him? He got too excited.

No, bless him. He realized it was too rushed.

All right, yes. That was too much.

But, Mom, you know I've always been in love with Gracia.

And I thought, "Why don't I just ask her?"

I was going to ask her in five or six months anyway.

What's the difference?

The difference is that you can scare her.

Well, no. She didn't react in a bad way.

She reacted… rationally.

At least one of you was rational.

And what did she say?

I asked him for some time.

Great reaction.

-Had it been me, I would have run away. -[laughs]

It was very sweet.

-To be honest, I had mixed feelings. -[Paloma] Hmm.

[Gracia] On the one hand, I was scared.

But, then, I felt… flattered.

[laughs]

[Paloma] So, you are confused.

I already had a wedding. Tano and I have just started going out.

I don't know. We are great together. And I think, "Why not?"

I don't know. I don't know what to tell him, Paloma.

Don't push her. Let her answer whenever she's ready.

I know you. You have no patience.

No, Mom. I am really patient.

I'm so patient that I've waited to be with her since I was a teenager.

I don't want to waste any time.

I want to get back those years I wasn't with her.

I don't know.

I hope that I didn't scare her, as you say.

And that she says yes.

[♪ music concludes]

[birds chirping]

-[keyboard clacking] -[footsteps approaching]

What's so urgent?

I guess you've heard.

There was a miracle in Manterana. Laura Montalbo has come back to life.

Yes, I heard about it in town.

I guess it's everyone's favorite topic.

You were friends, but you don't seem to be happy about her return.

I want you to find out why she's here, and why now.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

You shouldn't be worried about your share of Las Sabinas.

Even if the will is revoked, Gracia's sale can't be undone.

The only thing Laura could do is to ask Gracia for her money.

I love it when you brag about your knowledge of the law.

But I already knew that.

What then?

I want you to find out where she's been this whole time.

What she did for a living. Who she lived with.

I want to know everything.

And I want you to do it right away.

I see. It's personal.

I don't think you need to give your opinion.

I just want to know what the real aim of the task is so I can be thorough.

As thorough as with that girl, Miranda?

I'm still waiting for you to find her.

But you didn't ask me who she was living with.

Of course, with her, you didn't have a…

friendship, right?

I'll start right away.

Wait. Don't leave.

What?

I can't access El Acebuche's main account.

Let me see.

That's weird. I can't access it either.

Hey.

Hello, sweetheart.

Go with Manuela. I'll get you the usual.

I'll be there in a second.

I've been with my sister for too many hours and I'm overwhelmed.

-I see she didn't tell you. -Tell us what?

Manuela and I have broken up.

They are your family. You should have told them yourself.

It's true. You are right.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who's said it. What matters is that we know now.

Such a shame. I'm sorry.

I didn't know you had problems. You made such a good couple, right?

Mm.

Well, I hope you can fix things.

[scoffs] No, I don't think so. Manuela has made a decision.

She ruined everything for something that is impossible.

Anyway, it doesn't concern you anymore. You made that very clear.

-Certainly. -As well as what you think of me.

You earned it.

I'll get going, otherwise I'll end up saying things I'll regret.

Goodbye.

I don't know what he meant, but it wasn't necessary to talk like that.

Leave it, Auntie.

Actually, he has every right to be upset.

I should have told you.

But I didn't have the courage.

But are you okay?

COMPUTER HAS BEEN ATTACKED FILES MAY BE COMPROMISED

[Tomás] All right, thank you. Yes. No, don't worry, we'll fix it.

All right. All right. Bye.

They didn't get the payment either.

It looks like your account has been hacked, Paca.

What? Just what I needed.

-But didn't we have security in place? -[Miguel] Not enough.

Before you start going crazy, I know someone who can help.

-You should have said that earlier. Who? -Daniel.

-Manuela's boyfriend? -[Miguel] Yes.

-No. -Why?

Because she's been poking her nose into my business.

And I don't want her boyfriend to access all my information.

But have you got anything to hide?

From my point of view, the management of El Acebuche is impeccable.

Of course it is.

Daniel can be trusted. And he's very good at his job.

He'll sort out the issue quickly, which is what we need.

But as you wish.

Lost time is lost money.

He's right, Paca. We can't risk this hacker emptying your accounts.

[exhales]

[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

[Álex] Our Father, who art in heaven…

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven.

I never thought I could feel something like this for a priest.

And I never thought that I could feel something stronger than my vocation.

[♪ music concludes]

-He was brave and faced his death. -[♪ gentle instrumental music playing]

I was told that at Sunday school.

[♪ music concludes]

I've never been a coward.

That's why I joined the Civil Guard.

But when it comes to my feelings…

I've been a coward lately.

Why are you saying that?

Because it took me too long to do the right thing.

What have you done?

I broke up with Daniel a few days ago.

I realized I got back together with him because I didn't want to face

what I really felt.

[exhales]

And I can't go on like that.

-Manuela… -Let me finish.

I'm in love with you.

[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

And I want to be with you.

I know that, by telling you here out loud, I'm putting you in an awful situation.

But I had to get it off my chest.

[sighs]

[Álex] You don't know how many times I've wished this was easier.

I love you too.

But I took my vows.

And I swore I was going to experience love differently.

You have to choose now, Álex.

More like I have to give up something.

I've done it already.

Do you love me enough to leave this all behind?

I might not be as brave as you are.

That's why I started the whole process.

If I want to have a normal life here, they have to certify I'm alive.

But… here, you mean, in Manterana?

Yes. It's where I want to be.

[chuckles softly] I'm so glad to hear that.

Look who's coming. Dad.

[♪ gentle instrumental music playing]

How are you? How is it going?

-All good. -Um…

Do you need me to go with you or…?

We were just walking. Are you okay?

Me? Yes. Why wouldn't I be?

I don't know. You are usually alone, doing your own thing.

Of course I was. I could barely walk and I couldn't keep up.

But now I can and…

you can go to work.

I'll go with your mom for the rest of the walk.

So, now it's me who can't go?

I can go on my own. I know this land by heart.

No, I'll go with you. I… want…

to tell you all about what we are doing.

And I think Paloma has to check the drip irrigation in the land up there.

Don't you?

Yes.

No, yes, sure. I have to go… help Richi. Okay. [laughs] Well…

-Shall we continue, then? -[clears throat] Yes.

If I don't take care of everything myself, this doesn't work.

[♪ music concludes]

[indistinct chatter]

MANTERANA TOWN COUNCIL

-May I come in? -Sure.

Thank you, Sonia.

[Gracia] My notes regarding San Luis council's proposal.

Ah. Is it okay?

Yes, it's what we talked about for the center. I just added some notes.

-I'll leave you to it. -Are you avoiding me?

No, but you are busy, and I don't want to bother you.

No. I pretend to be busy, but the truth is I'm not.

[chuckles]

[laughs] Good. Good. You're smiling. Good sign.

That, and that you're not avoiding me after yesterday's madness.

-It was a bit crazy. -[Tano] Say it as it is.

I lost my mind big time.

[chuckles] I like when you're spontaneous and surprise me.

But perhaps not that much.

-[laughs] -Right.

I'm sorry I couldn't control the impulse.

Was it an impulse?

Asking you, yes.

But I've been thinking about this idea of sharing my life with you

since I was a kid, about this high.

I can't give you an answer yet.

I'm not in a hurry, Gracia. No pressure.

Okay?

Look…

The truth is that you make me so, so, so happy,

that the only thing I want is to spend all my time with you.

I don't care if we are married or not. I'll understand.

Just like I understand that, maybe, now is not the right time.

But… what I really want

is for you and me to continue being as good as we've been so far.

I'm very happy with you too.

[chuckles] Ah, I forgot.

Julia needs a hand with a school paper.

Happy to help. Tell her to come by this afternoon, I am available.

Thank you.

[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

[Laura] Are you tired?

Do you want to go back?

No! Do I look ill or something?

[laughs] No.

You are in great shape.

You feel much better, right?

I do.

You haven't changed.

You're still cagey when you don't want to talk about something.

It's not that. It was a yes or no question.

Right.

Why spoil the silence with stupid words?

Especially when you are surrounded by something as beautiful as this.

Yes. I feel quite good.

I had the best doctors. Including Esther.

-Esther Ruiz? -Yes, little Esther.

Oh my God, she wanted to be a doctor since she was a little girl.

Her dream came true. I'm very happy for her.

You have to give me her address.

I wanted to see a doctor, so who better than Esther?

Sure. Everything all right?

Yes.

You haven't changed either. You were as cagey as I was.

Mm? [laughs]

-[chuckles] -Now that we mention Esther, um…

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing] -Have you visited her mother, Paca?

Yes. I owed her an explanation too.

-And how did it go? -Not very well, to be honest.

But it's fine. It showed me who's on my side…

despite having made so many mistakes.

Yes. You've been hacked, indeed.

It happened because your security is too old.

When was your last upgrade?

-Three years ago? -[Dani chuckling]

Many things have happened in three years.

Such a subtle way of calling us old-fashioned.

Right now, anyone with basic IT knowledge

can access and steal your data.

Not only banking details, but also, identity information.

-Are you saying they could impersonate me? -[Dani] Yes, yes.

Your business volume is tempting for any hacker.

There have even been cases of blackmail.

-You're hired. -Excuse me?

I want you to manage El Acebuche's IT security.

I don't want any of those horrible things you've mentioned to happen to me.

But I've got a lot of work. I'm not sure I'll have the time for such a big company.

-How much? -[laughs] No, it's not about money.

It's always about money, Daniel.

Dani, we need you. We don't know anyone better than you.

Please, take the job.

All right.

I'll talk to Tomás to draft your contract.

Great, but I should create a backup first.

-Have you got a hard drive? -[Paca] Sure.

[♪ melancholic mysterious music playing]

Thank you.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Come in. Have a seat, please.

Thank you, Esther.

You still have that glow in your eyes.

-[laughing] -[chuckles softly] Thank you.

I'm very glad to see you, Laura. Your family must be really happy.

I am happy to be with them.

Sorry. How can I help you?

Yes. I need some prescriptions.

-Sure. Have you got your medical records? -Yes, here.

How is your mother?

Fine.

Thank you for not mentioning how mad she is at me.

I understand her.

Antidepressants?

Yes. The treatment I've been taking since Argentina… for many years now.

I can see these years haven't been easy for you either.

[Laura] No. Not at all.

I'm sorry. It's just that I look at you…

and it really is you.

[laughs] Thank you.

Do you remember the afternoons by the holm oak?

I remember everything. Do you remember the river?

-[chuckles] -We spent so many hours together.

My daughters, you, your mother…

Do you know I was a bit jealous of your daughters?

Jealous, why?

Because they had you as a mom. [laughs] And not a drill sergeant.

I was chaotic. [laughs] Always improvising.

Exactly. Unlike my mom. She was always very strict and bossy.

-Well… -[Esther] You were always happy.

And everybody loved you, Laura.

As if looking at your face was enough to know you were a good person.

Your mom was, too.

[Esther chuckles softly] Yes.

Sometimes, she was even… happy.

That's how I remember her.

Things have changed a lot, Laura.

I'm saying that because my mom needs time to process what's going on.

But I want you to know that

none of us will ever forget how much you helped us when my dad died.

I considered Paca my best friend.

And you were like a daughter to me.

It couldn't be any other way.

It hurts to see someone you love suffer, doesn't it?

I'm really sorry that everything was against you.

[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

I can't forgive myself for hurting her that much.

I didn't mean to.

I know.

I hope you can fix things with her soon.

Me too.

You come by very often for someone who's not a church person.

I'm more spiritual than you think.

In fact, I'm here for a confession.

Do you want to confess?

[laughs] No.

It's you who's going to confess.

I'll be your confessor. I don't even need to be dressed as a priest.

-[♪ music concludes] -I see.

Do you know she broke up with Daniel?

Nati, I swear I don't want to hurt Manuela.

Don't worry, I'm not here to judge you.

That's not my thing.

I just want to understand you better.

Who are you? And don't tell me, "Álex Egea, priest." I know that.

I want to know more about what's in here.

For example, if you've ever fallen in love.

Yes. Once, before going to the seminary.

It was to be expected. All that passion has to get out somehow.

-Do you think I'm passionate? -Very passionate.

And what happened with that girl?

Nothing. My vocation was stronger than my feelings for her.

And now?

What's stronger, your vocation or your feelings?

Things have changed so much, Nati.

I've given my life to God and, still,

my brother lost his.

You are angry.

That's why you turn your back on Him, right?

I still believe in God.

But, yes… my commitment to the Church is weakening.

It's been really hard to deal with the two things I love the most.

They are incompatible.

One of those things has a name and a surname.

-Yes. Manuela. -[♪ calm instrumental music playing]

And the other, being a priest.

Why do you want to continue being a priest?

You've said it, it's my passion.

Helping others and fighting for a better world.

Like Manuela.

But, Álex…

can't you continue doing that outside the Church?

[♪ music concludes]

[exhales]

-I hope you don't think of me as an enemy. -No.

I'm really sorry things haven't worked out with my niece.

How are you?

Not well. You saw her reaction earlier.

Well, it's understandable.

What will you do now? Will you leave Manterana or will you stay?

I'll stay, of course.

It won't be easy, because I'll see her around and…

The perks of living in a small town.

Mm. You just have to get used to it.

And, if it doesn't work, you can always leave.

No way. I'll stay.

I moved to Manterana because I hated the city.

Besides, I've been hired at El Acebuche.

If someone has to go, it should be Manuela, not me.

I still don't understand. You looked so good together…

What happened to you?

I mean… what happened to Manuela?

Silvia, it's not my place to…

There aren't other people involved, right?

Yes, there are.

Manuela left me because she fell in love with someone else.

With someone who won't be able to love her as she deserves.

-You don't mean… -Yes.

She's fallen in love with Álex Egea.

All these years she's been in and out of psychiatric hospitals,

mainly to treat her depression.

I know what you're going to say, and I'm telling you

that her medical records match her story.

Can you read my mind too?

No, but I know you very well.

[Miguel] There's something wrong with that woman. I feel it.

Leaving and coming back after 20 years makes no sense.

Think what you want.

I've talked to her doctor there, and I can assure you it's all real.

How do you know about that? You didn't treat her, did you?

My duty as a doctor is treating everybody, Mom.

-You should have referred her. -[Esther] No, I couldn't do that.

-It's done. She's my patient. -Tell her she's not anymore!

-Mom. -[Paca] No, Esther.

I don't want anyone in this house to be with that woman.

-Calm down, please. -[Paca] Laura has only caused me pain.

I don't want her in my life anymore. She can go back to her goddamn grave!

It's a paper on political institutions.

Knowing that I could talk to you, I've chosen the council.

An interview with the mayor will raise my grade.

[Tano] Very clever.

I might ask you to join my team in a few years.

Do you think they'll vote for you for that long?

[both laugh]

I'm looking forward to starting the interview. Go on, shoot.

-[Julia] I'll record with my phone. -Mm-hmm.

How can a mayor improve their citizens' lives?

I believe an open and honest dialogue with the residents is important.

That way, we know what they need.

No, Julia. It's not right that I write your paper for you.

-[♪ whimsical instrumental music playing] -Mom, I swear I didn't say that.

[laughs] She bought it.

[all laugh]

-How embarrassing. -Don't worry. He likes following impulses.

[laughs] I'll leave, you are working. No…

No, don't go. I mean, you don't mind if she stays, right?

[Julia] No, I don't.

Okay.

[♪ music concludes]

-[Paloma] Hey! -Hi.

I'm sorry I'm late. My mom… held me up.

Knowing Paca, it sounds like it's more than that.

You've got to tell me so many things. How is it going with your mom?

Let's say I'm 20% shocked and 80% happy.

-She's very happy too. -Have you seen her?

-What a shock, Paloma. It was… -Yeah.

You never think that something like this can really happen.

-You're telling me. -Mm.

She came by my office.

Really? Why? Is she sick?

No, no. It's not that. She just needed some prescriptions.

Ah, okay. For those antidepressants she takes.

-And how was she? -She looks fine.

Sometimes, finding the right medication and dosage is not easy.

-Mm. -I think they got it right with your mom.

My mom is not so well.

She's been devastated since they saw each other.

See? I knew there was something wrong.

I had no idea they had seen each other. She didn't tell me anything.

She might not have told you because it didn't end well.

Her explanations weren't enough for my mom and…

she kicked her out. She says she doesn't want anything to do with her.

Mm.

-I don't know what to say. I'm sorry. -No. We have nothing to do with that.

Paloma, promise me that whatever happens between them won't affect us.

Please, I don't want us to drift apart again.

Don't worry. That won't happen again.

We won't let it happen.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

-[♪ music concludes] -Daniel.

I'm sorry.

-[exhales] I wanted to talk to you. -Mm.

I'd like to apologize for what's happened.

I'm really sorry that you were hurt.

Right. And this apology fixes everything, doesn't it? [scoffs]

No. I don't accept your apologies.

You're too late.

Daniel, there are things that can't be prevented.

What are you saying? Everything could have been prevented.

I told you to stay away from her, but you didn't listen.

From that day on, you didn't stop confusing her.

I didn't force Manuela to feel what she feels, you know?

Such a good priest. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

I know you didn't force her, but take responsibility for your actions.

You got her hopes up, let her fall in love knowing that you won't be with her.

You'll never leave the Church, will you?

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

Hit me, if that's what you want.

I'm dying to hit you, but that would make you feel less guilty.

And I won't give you that pleasure.

Álex, you are going to hurt her.

If you really care about Manuela,

stop playing with her.

[♪ music concludes]

[Tano] Usually, I like to surround myself with people I trust.

People who are on the same page.

[cell phone buzzing]

Your paper could be one sentence, "A mayor is always on the phone."

-[laughs] -[Tano] Excuse me.

Yes, Luis. Tell me.

[laughs] You like Tano, don't you?

-[♪ soft instrumental music playing] -Why do you say that?

The way you look at each other says everything.

[chuckles softly]

[Julia] And he's very nice to me. He's trying to win me over.

Okay, yes. I like him.

Do you like him for me?

He seems cool. The jokes are a bit annoying,

-but… -[laughs]

…nobody is perfect.

Are you together?

We could be.

Could? Depending on what?

On you guys and whether or not you'd like me to have a new partner.

Many things have happened.

But you are smiling again, like you used to when we lived in Madrid,

before all the problems with Dad.

So, it'd be fine by me if you were with Tano.

Forgive me. So…

-Where were we? Go on. -[Gracia chuckling]

[♪ music concludes]

What? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?

[chuckles]

[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

Álex.

What are you doing here?

I won't play with you anymore nor confuse you.

You are not confusing me. Why are you saying that?

I'm hurting you, Dani, myself too…

This has to end.

I told you earlier that I wasn't brave.

And maybe I'm not.

Or perhaps I've never had to be.

In order to be brave, we have to be scared and know how to deal with that.

And I've always felt I had God on my side.

You are lucky.

He gave me strength and helped me get rid of any fear.

But now that I know you…

I'm scared.

And I want to be.

I want to be scared of not seeing you again.

Of not having you by my side.

-[♪ romantic instrumental music playing] -Of not seeing your eyes.

Your smile.

Your hair, your hands.

I want to be scared of not hearing your voice, of losing you.

Because I want to love you as I do now.

Forever.

Every day, every night, every instant. I want to love you, Manuela.

I choose you because I love you.

And, if the Church doesn't let me, I'll give it up.

I know God will be with me.

And he'll forgive me, because the God I believe in

can't punish me for loving you with all my heart.

[♪ music intensifying]

This is yours forever.

Tell me something. I feel so clumsy…

You don't know what you are saying.

[Emilio humming]

[footsteps approaching]

[Emilio humming]

Are you humming?

-Me? -Mm.

You've imagined that. I don't hum, not even when I sleep.

-[laughs] Right. -Mm.

Um…

Dad, I heard that Mom went to see Paca.

I know, she told me. Also, that she treated her like a dog.

It's not a nice thing to say, but it's a relief.

At least she knows who is on her side now.

-She told you that too? -Yes.

Mom tells you a lot of things, doesn't she?

-Is that a problem? -Um… no.

-Just the opposite, to be honest. -Good.

From my conversations with your mom,

I gather that she wants to be a family again.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

[Núñez] Sorry to bother you.

I'm Sergeant Núñez, and I'd like to talk to you.

-Sure. Yes. -May I?

Of course. Yes.

But is there any problem?

Um… no. No, no, no. I just wanted to tell you,

regarding the process you've started in court,

that the judge has set a date for the exhumation of your grave.

-Ah. -[Núñez] It'll be tomorrow afternoon.

Great news.

Very well. Has my lawyer been informed?

Yes, yes. I guess he'll call you soon.

Why have you come to tell me, then?

I happened to be in San Luis.

You'll also have to come to the station tomorrow morning, to clarify a few things.

But I've already given a statement in court,

as well as the relevant proof of identity.

There are loose ends regarding how your death was certified

that we must clarify.

I don't know what else I can say. [laughs]

Do you realize that you've committed several serious offenses?

I haven't done anything to anyone.

Except for the pain I caused my family, and that is not…

-Indeed, that is none of my business. -No.

But you faking your death is, as well as the reason why.

I hope your explanations will be convincing.

Yes, they will.

-They better be. -Mm-hmm.

See you tomorrow. Have a nice day.

You too.

[♪ music intensifying]

[♪ music fading]

How are you? Do you mind?

No. I'm just finishing off a few things.

-All good? -Um… yes, yes.

[exhales] Look…

I want to tell you something, but I don't know how.

Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. In fact, Mom already knows. But, anyway.

-Shoot. -There's no easy way to say it.

[laughs] I'm getting worried, Tano.

No, it's not bad, I've told you. At least, for me.

Gracia and I are together.

And I've asked her to marry me.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

It was an impulse, and I don't know what she'll say.

She asked me for time, but…

I do know that we are really good together.

I don't understand. Didn't you say that you were friends?

And we are. We are friends.

[♪ music intensifying]

You've gone all out for Gracia knowing what I went through with her…

Really?

Look, first of all,

don't look so surprised. At this point, you must have noticed something.

Secondly, I didn't go all out for Gracia, as you said.

Since Antón died,

we've been seeing each other, and we've been good together.

What a coincidence that you end up together.

Listen, I'm in love with Gracia.

Let me remind you that I lost her once when you came back from Edinburgh.

Edinburgh, again. Nothing happened between you.

-Well, it has happened now. -With me too.

It's not my fault that you almost ruined your wedding with Esther

-because of an obsession from the past. -And you dare say that?

Knowing what Gracia has put me through? You should get her out of your head.

-She'll make you suffer, as she did to me. -That's the difference.

I make her happy, that's why she wants to be with me.

You just punish her.

What are you doing? Huh?

You are second fiddle! She'll dump you as she did to me!

You already have Esther, damn it!

Why won't you let me be happy for once in your life?

Because you won't be, idiot! She'll dump you! Open your eyes!

That's not true. You are jealous. You are so jealous!

[grunts]

You are a jerk! Bastard!

Tano!

What on earth are you doing?

-[♪ music concludes] -[Miguel] Nothing.

[coughs] Nothing?

That's not true.

Miguel thinks I've played a dirty trick on him. Tell her.

-[♪ music resumes] -Go to hell.

Go to hell? You go to hell.

But what's going on? What has he done to you?

He asked Gracia to marry him.
