Original subtitles

You probably know about Paca Utrera's rare earth project.

PREVIOUSLY

I've been talking to the ecologists, and I'm going to join them.

-You're coming home for dinner today. -What do you say? Shall we?

[Julia] Did you know that my mom and your dad dated?

Come on. Are you serious?

-[Lucas] Yes. -[Julia] Yes.

[Paca] Find out who that witness is.

Do whatever you need to make it disappear.

Why? What happened?

I fear that Paca will find out that it was me who talked to you.

Tomás didn't rat me out.

He made Doña Paca believe that a former girlfriend of Óscar's

testified against her.

She's back from the dead.

I would have done anything to be with her.

I've never stopped loving you.

[Emilio] Give me another chance to make you happy.

It'd be really selfish to get back together with you, I still have doubts.

[Gracia] I do.

I don't know if it's crazy. Probably. But…

marrying you is what I want the most.

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

[♪ nostalgic instrumental music playing]

[Laura] "July 23rd, 2003.

"Today's sunrise brought us a radiant sun,

"so I took the girls to have lunch by the river.

"In the afternoon, I went to the holm oak

"and came back when it was starting to get dark.

"Today would be like any other day

"if it weren't for the fact that I realized I love her.

"It was unintended and unexpected. I don't know how nor when it happened.

"I love Paca with all my soul."

[♪ music concludes]

Didn't you understand that I don't want to be disturbed?

Sorry. I told him you were busy, but Father Egea insisted on seeing you.

You've come to the wrong house. Sermons are not welcome here.

I'm not here to debate your lack of faith, but to stop your greediness.

What do you want?

To tell you that the ecologist group my brother supported

will submit an appeal to stop your mining project.

You may leave, Pilar.

Are you working for those lousy people?

"Raise your voice for those who can't."

Maybe they can't raise their voices, but they have a lot of free time.

You know that your project doesn't meet a single environmental standard.

I know that all our permits are in order.

So, tell your friends to call off their dogs

or send them to bark up a different tree!

There's more of us than you think. And many farmers support us

because they don't want to see you turn Manterana into a dump.

I can guess who. The four usual wise guys, and the Molinas leading them.

Those four "wise guys," as you call them, care about our town.

And they are willing to do whatever is necessary to stop your plan.

And what's yours?

What are you looking for with all this?

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing] -Justice.

I won't stop until I prove that my brother was another victim of your ambition.

There's nothing to prove. You are looking in the wrong place.

The Civil Guard disagrees.

I know they have a witness who accuses you of paying my brother

-to poison Emilio's reservoir. -[Paca] All right.

I've heard enough.

I won't let anyone insult me in my own home.

Get out of here. Leave!

You may kick me out of your house, but not out of your life.

I'm coming for you.

[♪ music intensifying]

[♪ music concludes]

Yesterday, Miguel came to my office.

Ah.

He apologized for losing it the other day

and wished us both the best.

I'm glad that he finally came to his senses.

Yes. Me too.

It's not that I need his blessing, but he is my brother after all,

-and I like to have his support. -Mm.

It must be exhausting when he's against you all the time.

[Tano chuckles softly]

He has taken it down a notch with me too. We've agreed to get along from now on.

Well, no more bad blood in the family, finally.

Now we have to think about what matters.

-Yeah. -Ah, no.

We still need to convince Lucas to join the cause.

A kind of miracle happened yesterday, and Lucas came to bury the hatchet.

-Really? -Mm-hmm. [chuckles]

He's such an angel.

I don't know how he puts up with me after all he went through because of me.

That's because he takes after you.

[both laugh]

So, can we officially announce it?

You can post it on the council website if you want.

-[laughs] Don't give me ideas. -[chuckles]

[kissing]

-[kissing] -[Gracia chuckling]

Am I interrupting?

Um… Mom, we have something to tell you.

What is it?

Are you busy on the last weekend of March?

You'll have a wedding to attend. [laughs]

-You can't be serious. -[laughs] I am!

I am indeed. We just need the bride's confirmation.

Yes. You can mark that day with a big circle on your calendar.

As big as the ring I'll put on your finger.

-[all laugh] -Aw! Aw, aw. I'm so glad, my darlings.

-I'm really happy. -[chuckles]

Are you working on the mining project?

Mm. I've just sent a copy to the SEPRONA.

And how does it look?

Do you think the reservoir had anything to do with all this?

I don't know, but if Paca paid Óscar to poison it,

I'm sure she expected to get her investment back.

We should talk to Pilar.

She might give us a clue that can link both cases.

Or the three of them.

Because we've reached an impasse on Óscar's murder.

Careful, don't rock the boat too much. We don't want it to sink.

We have two confirmed facts so far.

One, Jiménez is Paca's errand boy for her shady matters.

And two, Pilar knows everything.

And she's willing to cooperate in order to save her husband's ass.

Paca is not your usual housewife,

but to accuse her of murder…

[huffs]

What if a third person handled all this?

It looks like the mining business will make a quick buck.

And it's likely that Paca has a more unscrupulous partner than her.

Which is saying something.

Sergeant, we need to bring her down.

And, in order to do that, we need information from the inside.

[exhales]

Manuela, another blunder,

and it'll be us who'll fall.

But can't you see?

We have more and more open cases with Paca Utrera involved.

Let me meet with Pilar.

I promise you I'll be very careful.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

[♪ music concludes]

I don't like these secret meetings at all. What's going on?

The Civil Guard. They want to talk to Pilar again.

And have they told you why?

They just said they want to ask me a few questions.

You must retract your statement.

I'm sorry, what?

Tell them you lied when you accused Doña Paca

of poisoning Emilio's reservoir.

But how am I going to do that?

Tell them you did it to protect your husband,

but that you now regret lying to them.

Are you crazy?

If she takes it back, I'll have Óscar's death

-on my shoulders again. -[sighs] No, please.

Even if she retracts it, will they believe Paca has nothing to do with the poisoning?

Besides, she could be charged because she lied to them.

Even if they wanted to accuse Paca, they have nothing without Pilar.

And they have nothing against you either.

-Are you sure? -Of course I am.

-And I would be your lawyer. -[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

Without proof, I can quickly take down any allegations.

What shall we do?

For now, nothing.

Do as I say, for your own good.

-Are you threatening us? -No. No, no, no, no, no.

I'm just giving you advice.

That's what you've called me for, right?

[Jiménez] Yes. But we are not convinced.

It seems that you are the only winner here, as usual.

If we do it, you get in good with Paca,

which you like. It's in your interest.

And we'll be left high and dry again.

[♪ music concludes]

So?

Will we have a wedding?

End of March. Confirmed.

-I can't believe it. -Oh!

-Come here. Come on, come here. [laughs] -[laughs]

I couldn't be happier.

Congratulations!

A toast. To the bride.

-And to the future. -Yes.

And to be able to celebrate it together. Always.

-[laughs] -Cheers.

Cheers.

[Gracia] Mm.

Mm…

Have you thought about what to do?

There's plenty of room for you at Las Sabinas.

It's absurd that you're still living here. Come back home.

Thank you, girls, but I don't think it's a good time.

Why? The kids will be so happy to have you there. And Dad, too.

That's precisely the problem.

I can see that your father is getting his hopes up. I don't want to hurt him.

His hopes? About you two being a couple again?

Despite how badly our relationship ended, seeing him again was a gift for me.

I think he's misunderstanding my affection.

Mm…

He's asked you to come back home already, right?

Yes. We were talking, and he ended up kissing me.

[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

[Laura] I wanted to be very honest with him.

Too many years have passed, too many things…

And I need time to process it all.

-Does Paca have anything to do with that? -No.

Paca was a mistake that I've been paying for my whole life.

But then, are you considering getting back together with Dad?

It's a very tough decision.

I became disillusioned with our relationship.

And then life took me somewhere else. You know that part of the story.

Although he's more approachable and affectionate than ever.

So, I'll ask of you the same thing I asked of him. Time.

[♪ music concludes]

That priest is very wrong if he thinks I'll sit back and do nothing,

while that shabby bunch destroy my business.

Is it an administrative appeal or did they go to the Civil Guard?

I don't pay you to ask me questions,

but to give me answers. Investigate.

Well, we didn't consider this could happen.

But don't worry, I'll find a way to make it disappear.

And may I know how?

First, we'll need to find out what information they have.

I guess not much.

All talk, as usual in these cases.

And after that,

we'll find a way to bring down those treehuggers.

All right. Get started.

But try not to make any mistakes.

The sooner the mining business starts,

the sooner you'll become rich.

And you know I love that idea, Paca.

But I'm not the only one who wants to have more money in the bank.

What now?

Miranda, Óscar Egea's Australian friend.

I finally found her, and we reached an agreement.

-About time. What's her price? -[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

She's willing to change her statement for 30,000 euros.

Wow, the Australian girl… Such a woman of principle.

-What are you staring at? -So, shall I tell her it's okay?

What do you think?

I think it's cheap if it means we get rid of that problem.

Mm.

[♪ music concludes]

Thanks for helping, honey.

I've been nagging Richi for days to get his help, but to no avail.

[Paloma] I know.

With Mom's return and all the fuss, I gave him quite a lot of work.

By the way, Gracia and I visited her this morning.

-Did you? -[Paloma] Uh-huh.

-And how is she? -Fine.

-Yes. She seems happy. -Yeah.

-And you? How are you? -How am I? What do you mean?

I mean, how are you coping with her return?

I'm good. Well…

I'm looking forward to her moving here once and for all,

but that'll take a while, I think.

Right. Have you talked about it?

-Have you talked about it? -[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

Truth is that Gracia's wedding was the main topic almost the whole time.

I see. I guess it was.

I screwed up.

Why do you say that?

I thought your mom was willing to get back together with me, and I…

sort of let her know that I was looking forward to it.

And I think I scared her off.

That wouldn't be odd.

She asked me for time, but I'm not stupid.

I know that's just to soften the blow and to avoid causing too much pain.

Don't be so extreme.

After everything that happened between you two,

it's understandable that she needs time. I would need it too.

Well, call me crazy, but when I saw her…

I just needed one second

to realize that she was still the love of my life.

Did you tell her that too?

Um… Not with those words, but I think I made it quite clear

what I still felt for her.

Mm.

[huffs] I hope I haven't messed up.

-Don't push her. -[♪ music concludes]

Let her re-adapt to the town, let her come back

to feeling like part of the family.

You'll see how her feelings will come naturally, Dad.

What if her feelings make her distance from us again?

-No. -No?

There are many scavengers around El Acebuche.

Look, if you say that because of Paca,

I think that, luckily for us, Mom has closed that chapter of her life.

Do you think so?

I can assure you that, right now, her priority is getting her family back.

And you are family too.

The money.

Will you be able to send it to Australia without raising suspicion?

We don't have to. We'll do it through a friend she has in Madrid.

Very well. Up to you.

But put an end to this nightmare.

Mom, have you got a minute?

I was leaving. I'm already done.

Great. Hey, I love this tie.

You are really elegant.

-Thanks. -[Esther] Mm.

-That's the goal. [laughs] -[laughs]

You have to tell me where you got it. I'll buy one for Miguel.

It's Italian. I'll send you the link to their website.

Italian? I pay you too much…

Because I work too hard.

-Right? [laughs] -[laughs]

-[Esther] Are you here tomorrow for lunch? -I don't know. Why?

I thought about inviting Tano and Gracia.

And why is that, if I may ask?

Your husband will get angry as hell.

[chuckles] No, Mom.

Miguel already apologized. They buried the hatchet.

I want to invite them because I think it's a good way to fix things.

I don't like the idea of having Gracia Molina in this house.

Get used to it. We'll be family soon, whether we like it or not.

And you'll see her around very often.

You don't fool me.

You want to probe Miguel, because that witch says she'll marry Tano.

Mom, can't you stop scheming? Not even for a second?

I'm doing it because I want Miguel and I to have a healthy relationship

with Tano and his partner.

In that case, don't worry about me.

I won't stay to see your farce

with that busybody.

Thanks. It's all I wanted to know. And I'm glad.

Didn't you have enough with the dinner you organized for her and her sister?

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

I hope that, this time, you won't make a fool of yourself.

[scoffs] I won't bother you anymore.

I can see you are too busy being bitter.

[♪ music concludes]

[door opening]

[Tomás] Pilar.

What do you want?

My husband has already said everything that we had to say to you.

I've got the solution to get out of this.

But you need to change your statement.

No. I won't lie to the Civil Guard.

Here.

What's this?

The money I got from Doña Paca for you to think about it.

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing] -Does she know that I am--

She thinks it's for Óscar Egea's Australian girl.

But, if you don't want things to change,

take the money and change your testimony.

-There's a lot of money here. -Thirty thousand euros.

It wasn't easy to get.

And I assure you, if you retract it and they try anything against you,

I'll never leave you on your own, Pilar. I promise.

[exhales]

No.

I won't do it.

I don't want trouble with Núñez and Manuela.

Besides, what about Guillermo?

If I do it, he would be the only suspect.

No.

Not if he denies it and you confirm it.

I don't know, Tomás.

You're worried about the Civil Guard.

But you should be more worried about Doña Paca.

And those who, like her, wish for the mining project to go ahead.

What do I have to do with that?

You are kicking the hornets' nest.

As long as Paca is involved in Óscar's case, there won't be any mine.

And that will upset many powerful people with very little tact.

[whispers] Come on, Pilar.

Do you think you'll get away with it

when Doña Paca finds out that you've betrayed her?

Because if you don't do what I say,

it's only a matter of time before she does.

Very little time.

[♪ music concludes]

Well, the prescriptions have been updated.

I've included an antacid in case your dad still feels discomfort

when he takes his meds, all right?

I'll tell him. Thank you very much, Esther.

You're welcome.

Wait.

I'd like to…

I'd like to congratulate you on the wedding. Miguel told me.

Ah! Right.

Life is so crazy. You are going to be my sister-in-law.

Can you believe that? [laughs]

Tano is an amazing man. I'm very happy for both of you.

Thank you.

Hey, why don't you come over for lunch tomorrow?

And we can celebrate it, the four of us.

Tomorrow?

Why not? We are going to be family after all.

[chuckles] Let me ask Tano.

Of course.

Although I'm not sure he'll be free.

It's difficult to see him, even for a coffee.

[laughs] Well, the perks of being the mayor.

Tell him I'll make tiramisu, I know he loves it.

Will do. [laughs]

Gracia.

Many things have happened between us that it's better to just forget.

But I think the wedding is a great opportunity

to leave them all behind

and to start over, don't you think?

[chuckles softly]

[cicadas chirping]

[Paca] You have no idea what you are triggering.

I don't know what you mean.

But if you are so upset, we must be doing something right.

Why are you supporting that appeal against the mining project?

If you are going against me, you are going against Las Sabinas.

That project is nonsense.

For Las Sabinas, for Manterana and for the whole region, Paca.

The little priest and his hippy friends have brainwashed you already.

I have no time for you and your scheming.

Will you kick me off of my land?

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -Nobody wants you here.

Not even my mom.

In case you hadn't noticed, it's me who wants nothing to do with her.

I told her when she visited me,

crying, the night she came back from the dead.

Well, you just made my day.

That way, once we get her home, she'll be far from your poison.

Well, well. Now that I've rejected her, she's dying to go back to her nest.

In case I wasn't clear enough,

tell her that I want her out of my life forever.

-It was really clear. And you know what? -[♪ music intensifies]

She didn't seem to care much. She thinks that you were a huge mistake.

I wouldn't trust her too much, if I were you.

She destroyed your lives once,

and she won't hesitate to do it again.

-[Laura] Paca! Wait! -[♪ music concludes]

What did you say to Paloma?

Your daughters are determined to destroy my business.

And I won't allow it.

Why don't you leave them alone?

Why don't you stop blaming them for something that's not their fault?

Look at that! All of a sudden, you care about Gracia and Paloma now.

They are my daughters. Is it that terrible to try and get their love back?

And what about mine? You don't care about that love?

[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

I went to see you, and you kicked me out. Perhaps, it's you who doesn't care.

Mm? Listen to me.

We can be friends again, if you want.

-[chuckles] -Friends?

[Laura laughs] Yes.

Would you make that effort for someone you consider a mistake in your life?

Why do you say that?

Don't play dumb.

Paloma said that, for you…

I'm just a mistake.

But Paloma must have misunderstood what I said.

The only mistake in my life has been to leave them on their own.

[sniffles] You did the same to me.

No, Paca.

Our relationship wasn't a mistake. You know I loved you with all my heart.

You know that.

Mm?

[♪ music concludes]

So tomorrow I have…

At 10:00 a.m., the budget follow-up. At 11:30 a.m…

um… Ah! The video conference with the regional government.

After that, all good.

So, are you free?

Yes. What about you?

I have work at the office, but I could be there at 2:00 p.m.

-You don't seem too excited. -Not really.

I find it a bit awkward to have lunch with Miguel and Esther out of the blue.

Yes, it's a bit sudden, but so is our wedding.

And we are quite happy about it, right?

Very happy.

I understand that you don't feel like it,

but sooner or later we'll be sitting at a table with them.

I know. You are absolutely right.

But the last time I went to El Acebuche for dinner, it was something to forget.

Well, forget it, then.

I think that, deep down, Esther is doing it to…

Well, so that we can all forget and start over.

Like when you have to rip off the Band-Aid from a wound.

The more you think, the worst it gets.

The best option is to grab the Band-Aid and… pow! Done.

[laughs]

But, this time, we are ripping off the Band-Aid together. It hurts less.

Well, then it's settled. Can you RSVP?

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

Okay.

Mm. Thanks, my love.

I love it when you pick me up from work to go for a drink together.

If I don't rescue you, you'll never get out of there.

-We might do it again tomorrow. -Ah…

Hey! How are you, lovebirds?

Not too bad.

No. I can see that.

By the way, Gracia said that we can do lunch tomorrow.

So, we'll see you in El Acebuche.

-[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing] -Ah, lunch tomorrow?

Yeah, right? Gracia said that you invited her.

Yes, yes. I was about to tell you, but Tano was faster.

Gracia came to my office this morning, and I thought it was a good idea,

just to celebrate your wedding.

Is it official already?

Yes. End of March.

-If everything goes well. -So exciting, isn't it?

[Tano] Yes. It truly is. But I'll explain better tomorrow.

[Esther] Is it okay with you?

Yes. Yes.

-Great. See you tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. -[Tano] Yes.

Yes. We'll bring wine, and you, tiramisu.

Ow… someone let it slip about the dessert.

When Gracia told me, I almost cried with happiness.

[all laugh]

-Anyway, I'll leave you to it. Bye. -[Miguel] See you.

See you tomorrow.

In order to access the new operating system,

you'll be asked for two passwords.

-[♪ music continues] -First… [speech muffles]

[Laura] Our relationship wasn't a mistake. You know I loved you with all my heart.

-[Tomás] Leave us, please. -[♪ music concludes]

But we haven't finished.

You can continue later. It's urgent.

All right. I'll come back later.

Mm.

The environmental technician and the member of parliament are worried.

They're only calm when they are counting money.

They are worried that the appeal might be accepted

and that the fake environmental reports they approved will come out.

I don't know who worries me the most, the Civil Guard or those two wusses.

They have reason to be nervous, and so do we.

If they revoke the permit, we'll have to aim higher

to get the green light for our project.

And the briefcases will have to be way bigger, of course.

If the deposit continues causing problems, maybe it's time to forget about it.

-[laughs] No. You can't be serious. -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

I'm sick of losing time and money with that project.

Besides, the Civil Guard will be after us for years.

Are you backing out now that we are about to make it?

No. We are about to have it all go down the toilet.

I don't understand you. [laughs] You know how much is at stake, right?

It's the deal of our lives, Paca. You can't step down now.

Of course I can.

And I will if it gives me any more headaches.

[♪ music concludes]

[indistinct chatter]

Pilar. I've asked you to come here

to keep our meeting as discreet as possible.

That's fine by me. This town is full of gossips.

[chuckles softly] First, we'd like to go over your statement

about Paca's involvement in the sabotage of the reservoir in Las Sabinas.

Why? Any news in the case?

[♪ soft mysterious instrumental music playing]

It looks like that land is also rich in rare earth elements.

It's likely that Paca is interested in including it in her mining project.

That's her business, not mine.

Right. But it turns out that an appeal against that plan has been submitted.

And we need to rearrange all the information.

I don't see how I can help with that.

We just want you to tell us whether you've seen or heard anything

that could link Las Sabinas to the mining project.

Anything that might have caught your eye.

Pilar, what's wrong?

Is there anything else you haven't told us?

No. I have talked too much, that's what I've done.

I don't understand.

It's not true that Paca ordered Guillermo to poison the reservoir.

-What do you mean it's not true? -[Pilar] I lied.

I said it because I was afraid you blamed Guillermo for Óscar's death.

But that order never existed. I made that up to protect him.

Why are you saying this now? This is Paca's doing, right?

No. She has nothing to do with it.

She found out it was you who told us about her.

She made you change your version, right?

No. That's not true.

Don't lie to me. She threatened you. Paca is behind all this.

Manuela, enough.

[clears throat]

Are you aware that perjury has legal consequences?

That's precisely why I want to tell the truth.

Listen, if we eventually prove that Paca was involved

in the poisoning, and believe me, it's likely that'll happen,

you and your husband will be as affected as her.

Leave us alone, please. We did nothing.

You linked her to Óscar and the reservoir.

If you retract it, your husband will be the main suspect of his murder again.

Think it through, Pilar, please.

Guillermo had nothing to do with that. Mm? And Doña Paca didn't either.

-Pilar, wait-- -Leave us alone, please!

From now on, anything you want from me, you talk to Tomás first.

[both huff]

-[♪ music concludes] -[birds chirping]

I need to talk to you. May I?

Yes.

Have a seat.

I just want you to listen.

I can't stop thinking about the conversation we had yesterday.

No, Paca… There's no need.

Listen. Listen to me, please.

I know I said some harsh words, but…

they were just words.

Even though I said that I didn't want to see you again,

and even if I tried to convince myself of that, the truth is…

that I still love you.

I love you like I did on the day you disappeared from my life.

I love you, Laura. And now I know that will never change.

[♪ gentle instrumental music playing]

Talk to me, please. Say something, this anguish is killing me.

I'd like to love you back.

But what I feel for you now is not the same as I felt 20 years ago.

Don't say that, please.

I'm sure I can give you whatever it is that you may be looking for in me.

Besides… [laughs] …you said we could be friends.

Yes, yes. We can, but…

I'm sorry, Paca. I can't stop thinking about all the suffering

you've caused my family over all these years.

And what about Emilio?

Did he behave better than I did? Look at what he did to your daughters.

Don't bring Emilio into this.

Then I'll bring you into it. You didn't treat them very well either.

Oh, my God. I don't know you anymore. You are so full of hatred.

Where's the woman I fell in love with 20 years ago?

Tell me just one thing.

Had things gone differently between your family and me

during the years we thought you were dead,

would you be willing to get back together with me?

It's useless to think about that now.

You made their lives hell, and that won't change.

Laura, please.

Give me another chance.

No. I can't.

I wish that, one day, the wound heals and that we can be friends again.

But I don't want your friendship. You hear? I don't want it.

I want your love.

That's not possible.

Did you see how she was shaking? That woman was scared to death.

It's not difficult to know who's behind the change of heart.

It's clear now that Paca is involved up to her neck in Óscar's murder.

-I won't let her get away with it. -Manuela, not again.

Pilar has flown. What if we go after Jiménez? Maybe we could push him.

No, I don't think that would be useful. His boss knows that we follow her tracks,

-he'll be on a short leash. -Then, let's go after her.

Manuela, calm down.

No, I can't.

I'm sick of being so careful and being mocked.

We should question her today and push her to confess.

We can't. We'll have her lawyer all over us.

And that guy is a shark.

He's up to his neck with it too. I'm not scared of him.

Even if you are not scared of him, you should be scared for your job.

Let me remind you that you almost ignored the official procedure once.

And what happened? I had to assign you to do paperwork.

Slow down, Manuela, please. For your own good.

All right. It's just that--

I know! You don't want Óscar's killers out on the streets another day.

Me neither. But we have to put up with it until we have proof.

[sighs]

[♪ serene instrumental music playing]

[Esther] Wow, so elegant.

-Matching the hosts. -[Esther chuckles]

[kissing]

Thank you for coming.

No, thank you for inviting us.

We've brought some wine. I hope you like it.

Where did you get this beauty? Thank you very much.

I've got my contacts too. Besides, the occasion calls for it.

[♪ music concludes]

Shall we go in?

Yes.

Wow, such a beautiful table…

Thanks, but I must admit all the credit goes to Pilar. She set it.

[chuckles] She cooked too.

Why? Don't you like cooking?

I'm not good at it. You?

-No, no. I'm terrible. [laughs] -[laughs]

Where are Paca and Lucía?

My mom had plans and Lucía was eating out with a friend, right?

-Lucía is at Nora's house. -[Esther] Mm.

Glass of wine.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anyway, now that we are all gathered, I think it's time to…

take the bull by the horns

and talk about something that we all have in mind, but don't dare to mention.

Esther…

did you make the tiramisu or was it Pilar?

-[all laugh] -[♪ playful instrumental music playing]

I made it myself with all my love

and the help of the food processor.

Well, in that case, spoiler alert, I will have seconds.

Let's make a toast.

To Tano having seconds of dessert…

Mm-hmm.

…and to us having seconds of this lunch for many years to come.

Cheers.

Then… No, wait. Mr. Genius, here, thought it would be a great idea

to go and get snakes from the river and then set them free in the gym.

That wasn't all. Then, he turned off the lights and locked the door. [laughs]

-[laughs] What? -[all laugh]

Seriously?

That party was so boring. Somebody had to do something.

There was a big mess that day.

-Huge. [laughs] -[laughs]

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Good afternoon.

-[Tano] Good afternoon. -Mom, are you all right?

So? Are you having fun?

Nothing to say?

I told you this lunch wasn't a good idea.

And not only because it is such a bore.

Why don't you eat something? It'll do you good.

And stop being this drunk? No way.

Paca.

What?

Why are you so worried? You don't give a damn about me.

Phony!

Although, now that I see you all together…

what a party.

You are a bunch of hypocrites. [laughs]

As if you can't smell all the filth between you.

Please, leave it alone.

You leave me alone.

Go visit your ungrateful mother.

Ask her why she's treating me like garbage.

After everything I've done for your family…

Mom, that's enough. I'll take you upstairs.

[sobs] Leave me alone.

This is my house. And I'll do as I please.

-You're making a fool of yourself. -Look who's talking. [laughs]

You all are the fools.

I can do it. I can do it.

And you two, what are you looking at?

What are you looking at?

Look at your girlfriend.

She's in love with your brother, and she always will be.

Mom. Please.

There she is, the blind girl.

She will never know what true love is.

Because, no matter how much effort you put in,

Miguel will never love you because he is in love with Gracia.

Right?

Why are you doing this to me?

What are you all doing here? Come on. Come on. Leave!

Out! Get out of my house! Out!

Don't worry, we are leaving.

Yes. We'd better go.

But can't you see that all of you will be unhappy?

The four of you!

I'll show you the door.

I don't know what happened to you,

but what you've just done is unforgivable.
