-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -What's wrong?

Esther doesn't feel well. Paca is taking her to the ER.

PREVIOUSLY

Let me be clear, Esther will stay here until the baby is born.

We both want the best for her, right?

We will stay here, in El Acebuche. The decision is final.

I've decided that I won't give you back my share of Las Sabinas.

-What's the matter? Don't you trust me? -I don't trust Paca.

I've made a decision. I'm moving to El Acebuche.

-[scoffs] -[Tomás] Laura's biological mother,

a woman without means,

had to sell one of her daughters so that she could raise the other.

Her sister?

[Tomás] Her twin sister, Carmen Siciliani.

We must leave Manterana as soon as possible.

What are we waiting for? We have access to Paca's accounts and passwords.

We can take her money.

Go if you want.

-This isn't over yet. -[♪ music concludes]

[♪ theme music playing]

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

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

[Dani] Forget about Las Sabinas. The Molinas are against you.

The best we can do is leave before all of this blows up in our face.

No way.

With all the information I have against Paca, she'll think twice

before going after us when we steal all her money.

-Are you sure about that? -Of course.

Her emails about the mining project are enough to send her to prison.

But I've got more.

Tampered accounts, payments with dirty money,

messages threatening farmers… A million things.

No.

Paca's money is not enough.

[Dani] But why?

You know why.

It's personal.

My sister lived a good life here that I have never been able to have.

Now it's my turn.

If we are discreet,

Paca's money will always be available.

It'll be our reward if everything gets worse.

-Worse than now? -I live in El Acebuche.

I can control Paca and her business.

And I need time to get Paloma back.

So, trust me.

I know how to handle them. Especially Paca.

-As long as you don't fall in love… -[chuckles]

No, honey.

-[kisses] Don't be silly. -[chuckles]

[Tomás] I'll start working on the complaint.

-No. -[♪ music concludes]

-[Paca] Not yet. -Why not?

Paca, do you need any more proof?

It's clear that Laura, or Carmen, whatever her name is, is a liar.

I suspected that long ago, but…

I want to know what her true intentions are.

You can guess.

And who is she going after?

The Molinas? Me?

Everybody?

Why are you asking that now, hmm?

You must reveal her ruse as soon as possible.

[♪ soft mysterious instrumental music playing]

Come on, Paca, what's with all the doubts?

I don't want to stick my nose into other people's business, but…

don't tell me you've fallen in love with her.

You are right.

You are sticking your nose into my business.

But I'll answer anyway.

I don't feel anything for that woman,

whatever the hell her name is.

[♪ music intensifies]

-[birds chirping] -[♪ music concludes]

I didn't see you at breakfast.

No. I had work to do.

Right.

I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to you.

Well, you are not going that far.

I understand that you don't like my relationship with Paca.

You and the whole family. I just hope that, now that I'm leaving,

you'll all be more comfortable.

What is it that you want, Mom?

For me to feel good because you're leaving? Or bad?

Moving to El Acebuche doesn't mean I have stopped loving you.

No. It means that, between that woman and your family,

you choose her.

-I'm sorry you see it that way. -[scoffs]

[Carmen] We are in love.

We are taking the chance we didn't have 20 years ago.

That's nice.

Well, enjoy her love.

And her poison too.

I just want you to know that…

I'll worry about you. Especially now, after what happened with Richi.

[♪ somber piano music playing]

Mm. He's gone too.

I know. And even though he is hurt right now…

you know you've done the right thing.

Am I wrong?

No.

My story is not that different.

I love Paca, and even though you've rejected me,

I know I'm doing the right thing moving to El Acebuche with her.

-Luckily, love does that. -[sighs]

[Carmen] It returns things to their proper course.

And we end up forgiving the ones we truly care about.

I hope that someday…

I can be as important to you as you are to me, my love.

-I'd be happy with just that. -[♪ music fades]

[sniffles]

[exhales]

[♪ somber piano music resumes]

[sighs]

[♪ music concludes]

-Shall I give you a lift? -[Carmen] No need.

-[Emilio] Sure? -[Carmen] Paca has sent a car.

Well, then… this is goodbye.

Mm.

Um… I wish you all the happiness and all the best with Paca, Laura.

If things go wrong, because you never know with Paca,

this will always be your home. Hmm?

Thank you very much, Emilio. For everything.

What if I insist just a little? Is there any chance that you'll stay?

[laughs]

Don't make things harder, my love.

I'm going to miss you so much.

Me too, my love.

But I'll be really close, you are the one who's moving to Madrid.

Well, we'll see when.

Mom, I love you very much. I want you to be happy.

-Mm. Me too. -[♪ emotive piano music playing]

[Julia] First, Grandma leaves. Then, Richi…

How could they?

Julia, honey, you can't compare.

Your grandma is moving in with her partner.

-Richi left because his heart is broken. -[♪ music concludes]

Is he suffering that much?

Ask your aunt Paloma if he's suffering that much.

Well, no, I'll tell you myself.

He's more than suffering.

I know Richi,

-and he would have never reacted that-- -[Julia] Hey.

-[Trini] Good morning. -[Julia] Shall we go for a bike ride?

Now?

Hey, don't you have to go to school?

Not today.

Come on. It's been ages since we hung out.

[exhales] Julia, today… I can't today. I'm meeting some friends.

Which friends? From school?

[huffs] It's none of your business.

So rude.

Sorry. It's just that… I can't today.

All right? Next time.

-What's the matter with him? -[laughs] I'll tell you what's the matter.

He's in love. He's probably off to see the girl.

-That's why he barked at you. -Really? Did he tell you that?

No. He didn't tell me. I caught him messaging with a girl.

He said he liked her.

But he asked me not to say anything, so don't say anything.

That's weird. Lucas has never hidden those things from me.

[laughs] You better get used to it, honey.

As men grow older, they turn mute.

Richi used to tell me everything. And now… [clicks tongue] …not a word.

Lucas is not like that. Besides, he got really nervous.

He might be in trouble.

[Trini] Yes, love is trouble indeed.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

Where are you going? Julia?

[birds chirping]

[Lucía] Hey. How are you?

-[Lucas] I'm okay. You? -[Lucía] Did they say anything to you?

-[Lucas] No. I said I was off to the pool. -[Lucía] That's it?

[kisses]

[♪ music concludes]

-[dog barking in distance] -[indistinct chatter]

Don't you care that Mom is gone?

[sighs]

Okay. Gracia, everything…

everything she said yesterday about

being useless to us, being better without her,

all of that was an excuse.

Mom left because I decided not to give her back my share of Las Sabinas.

[exhaling]

-And why have you done that? -Because Paca has brainwashed her.

Paca has your share. She won't have mine as well.

-But you promised Mom. -Yes. But I've changed my mind.

Ah, look, same as Paca.

[laughs] Are you comparing me to Paca?

But why don't you trust Mom?

Why do you think Paca will control the land if Mom has it?

Don't you care that Mom doesn't want to live with us?

Don't you wonder why?

Don't you? Because I do.

I think Mom is moving to El Acebuche because she's unable to say no to Paca.

Well, two days ago, she was very happy living with us.

She can't have been that happy, it was easy for her to leave.

It was easy for her to leave because of your hate for Paca.

Please. [laughs]

Mom is blind, but you're too stubborn to see.

-Right. Sure. -[exhales]

Because accepting that you broke your promise

and that you've been a bit selfish is too much for you, isn't it?

[♪ reflective piano music playing]

No.

This is not about self-blaming nor judging who kicked Mom out.

It's about believing we are a happy family

when we have tons of dirt swept under the rug.

[grunts softly]

Besides, what's with all these accusations?

You are moving to Madrid and leaving me with this mess.

Why would you care where Mom lives? What do you care?

[huffs]

Everything all right?

[♪ music concludes]

[birds chirping]

You are here.

Forgive me for earlier.

I'm a bit hurt because of what happened to Richi,

but that doesn't give me the right to talk to you about Paloma like that.

Don't worry. It's not that.

What's wrong then?

Are you upset because your brother shouted at you?

More or less.

-Lucas is in big trouble. -Why? What did he do?

He's dating someone he shouldn't.

What did I tell you? Huh? See? It was because of a girl.

I'm sure she's from school. Am I right?

Yes. She lives in San Luis, and she's an idiot.

Come on, I'm sure she's not that bad.

Things won't go well with that girl.

He'll have to realize that on his own, sooner or later.

If he hasn't realized by now, it's already too late.

[♪ intriguing instrumental music playing]

He's stupid. And crazy.

Now you see how this story has ended.

Arguing with Gracia

-is the last thing I need right now. -[♪ music concludes]

I don't think Laura dislikes the idea of moving to El Acebuche.

No.

Especially not now that she's going to start a business with Paca.

-That's news to me. What business? -I don't know yet.

But I'm sure she wants Las Sabinas in order to make it successful.

She already owns 25% of the land.

Esther and I have come back to El Acebuche too.

-[Paloma] Ah. -She had a scare and…

we went to the ER.

-A scare? -[Miguel] Yes. Um…

-But are Esther and the baby okay? -Yes, yes. They are fine.

-She needs to rest, and that's it. -Right.

-Would you mind if I go visit her now? -[♪ gentle piano music playing]

Yes, sure. I promised I'd go, but she'll be happy to see you.

-Of course. -Yes, thanks.

You're welcome.

[birds chirping]

-[♪ music concludes] -[sighs] So, in less than three days,

I broke up with Richi, who had a fight with Wilson and left.

-My Mom also left… -Mm.

…and I had an argument with Gracia. Can you imagine?

What am I doing wrong, Esther?

-[sighs] -So, are you with Wilson?

No.

-[Esther] Do you like him? -[inhales deeply]

[exhales] Yes.

And what will you do?

Nothing. What can I do? It's…

I can't handle everything. I tried to be honest and tell the truth.

But you can see what good that's done.

At least you can be sure that you've done the right thing.

-[chuckles softly] -That's a lot, believe me.

Had I known I'd be alone because of doing the right thing,

-I might not have done it. -[chuckles soflty]

What about you? How are you feeling?

Fine. Fine. It was… nothing.

It can't be nothing if they asked you to rest, Esther.

-[chuckles] -You must take care of yourself.

Don't worry. My mom never leaves me alone.

-[chuckles softly] -Mm.

-Paloma. -[sighs]

Promise me that whatever happens between our moms, it won't affect us.

-[♪ soft piano music playing] -I promise. It won't happen.

I wouldn't forgive myself.

Right now, you are one of the few people I want to see.

[Carmen] Hey. Hi.

How is it… Paloma!

-I didn't know you were here. -Yes.

-Are you leaving? -Yes.

-Can't you stay a little longer? -No, no.

I'm leaving.

-It's getting late. -Thank you.

I can go if…

No, no, no. I'm late. I'll leave.

-Um… -Bye, honey.

Bye, Mom.

[♪ music concludes]

[huffs]

Thank you for coming.

-[scoffs] -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

It's a relief to know that my daughter can count on you during hard times.

Yes.

Esther is my friend.

She will be, despite you and everything you've done to us.

That again?

-Do you know María told me everything? -And who's María?

You know perfectly well who María is.

María Rubio,

my friend from the youth facility,

where you sent me because you wanted to see my dad suffer.

Your father never needed anyone's help

to ruin his life, and yours.

María told me that…

you paid her to cause trouble among us

so that you could get Las Sabinas.

I swear that I don't know how my mom can be with you, Paca.

I don't understand.

-Is Laura aware of all this? -Yes.

She's the only one who knows.

And still, she moved in with you. [scoffs]

You know your mother never does what others expect her to do.

[Paloma] Mm.

-She's a free spirit. -[Paloma] Yeah.

Not that much.

She's trapped.

Neutralized by you.

I just hope she opens her eyes soon.

Before it's too late.

[Paca] Don't underestimate her.

Laura is way more intelligent than you think.

[chuckles softly]

[♪ music concludes]

-Hi. -Hi.

Tano brought in the work permits.

Ah!

How's Esther?

She's resting.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry, Gracia.

No, honestly, I don't know what came over me.

I've been really unfair.

I took it out on you because I'll miss her a lot.

Especially once I move to Madrid.

I just saw her at El Acebuche.

It was weird.

-Did you argue? -[Paloma] No.

No, we barely said hi, but she was there, taking care of Esther…

I don't know. Very weird.

It's just that I don't understand.

And I don't understand it either.

But I love her too much to try and understand everything she does.

Do you think I don't love her?

Of course you do.

But you are different.

You are more rational.

-I'm more impulsive. -[chuckles softly]

-[Gracia] Mom said this already. -[laughs] I guess she knows us.

More than we know her.

-[♪ somber piano music playing] -Do you think that she really missed us?

-Be honest. -I guess so.

You guess, because you don't know.

Actually, Gracia, everyone else is always a mystery and…

Mom is too.

-Have you seen Gladys? -[♪ music concludes]

She's just gone to the market.

I'll ask her to bring ginger for Esther's nausea.

Don't bother.

Why?

How can you still be with me?

-What kind of question is that? -Paloma told me that you know it was me

who called social services when she was a kid.

Yes. She told me a few days ago.

And yet, here you are,

ordering ginger for my daughter.

And what about yours?

I would be unable to be with someone who did that to Esther.

Would you believe me if I told you

that, when I found out,

I was cursing you for hours?

It's the least any mother could do.

And after crying and crying…

-[♪ reflective instrumental music playing] -…I hated myself. Do you know why?

Because I realized

that it was me who pushed you towards that war against Emilio

by faking my death, by walking away from you.

That's why you called social services, right?

-To make him pay. -[♪ music intensifies]

[Carmen] Paca, I've realized something terrible

with this whole thing.

That my love for you is above everything

and everyone.

I don't know how to… control it, I don't know what to do.

So, tell me. Tell me to leave,

tell me to get away from you.

I can't.

Leave the past behind, Paca.

Let's look to the future.

[birds chirping]

What's up?

-Shall we go for a bike ride now? -[♪ music concludes]

Are you still mad?

-You know I'm a grouch in the morning-- -I saw you.

Who have you seen?

You and Lucía.

-I saw you kissing. -You are going nuts. No way.

You are together again.

Maybe you never even broke up. Who knows.

[exhales]

We tried.

But we can't.

What do you mean, "You can't"?

-Lucas, she's your sister. -No, she's my half-sister.

Whatever.

Are you sick or what?

What can we do if we've fallen in love? Tell me what to do.

You break up right away.

Can't you see that what you are doing is wrong?

It's horrible.

-It's gross. -Don't say that, Julia.

I have to, because you don't see it.

No way. You can't keep on seeing her.

Yes, you are right. This has to end. Let me talk to her.

-Promise me. -I promise, goddammit.

-You won't do it. -I will.

What's going on? What's all that back and forth?

Are you arguing? Really?

-What is it? -[exhales]

-Ask him. -[♪ soft tense piano music playing]

You didn't have to get upset because… I took your headphones yesterday.

Ask me next time.

Exactly. Next time, ask her. Or ask for ones for your birthday.

-Okay. -Come on.

My goodness. What a pair.

[♪ music intensifies]

[exhales]

[crickets chirping]

[♪ music concludes]

-[Carmen] Water, Miguel? -No, thanks.

Esther, if you are tired, we can bring your dinner upstairs.

No, no, no, really. I needed to move. [chuckles softly]

-Are you feeling better? -I am.

Maybe we should go to the hospital for a checkup.

No. No, no, really.

I feel better. Thank you, honey.

[Carmen] What did you do on your day off? Anything interesting?

Well, I slept until 11:00 a.m.

and then I went for a walk with a friend.

[Carmen] I love walking. I'll join you some day.

Now you are almost a granddaughter to me.

Of course. Whenever you want.

[Carmen chuckles softly] Miguel,

Gracia told me you were given just a month to…

finish the works in Ecorana.

-That's right. -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Perhaps you don't know this, but we don't talk about work when we eat.

[Paca] Who said that?

We talk about everything in this house. Of course we do.

-[glasses clinking] -Gladys is a great cook, right?

-I think so too. -[Esther] Mm.

-I'll try the chicken now. -Delicious.

[birds chirping]

[♪ music concludes]

-[water splashing] -[cicadas chittering]

[Lucía exhales] Hey.

What's up?

[exhales]

What's wrong?

Julia knows about us.

She saw us kissing yesterday.

-What? -Yes.

Has she told your mother?

She was going to.

I had to promise her that I'd break up with you,

or she would have told her.

-So, you want to break up. -What? No.

I said it to stop her. I want to be with you forever.

[birds chirping]

So what do we do?

I've been thinking, and there is only one solution.

Leaving Manterana.

-For someplace no one knows us. -No, we can't leave, Lucas. [exhales]

Our parents would call the police, and they would find us right away.

Let's go far, then. America. Brazil, for example.

I'll get my mom's card and buy tickets.

What? We wouldn't even get near the plane.

[exhales]

-Besides, how would we live without money? -I don't know.

But we would be together, at least.

Nobody would know we are…

[♪ gentle piano music playing]

Right.

It would be as if we weren't.

And, in the end, we would forget about it.

Can you imagine?

Not remembering that ever again?

It's a shame that can't be.

Listen, let me talk to Julia.

No, no way. You didn't see her.

She even said we were sick.

The only idea I have is telling her that we've broken up

and carrying on doing what we are doing now.

-But your sister is not stupid. -[♪ music concludes]

She'll realize we are lying to her.

We have to convince her to side with us.

That's impossible, Lucía.

-Can I try, at least? -[exhales]

[♪ wistful instrumental music playing]

[♪ music concludes]

Yes, Mom. A bottle of pills. Blue with a white cap.

Yes, it was in the bathroom.

All right. You don't have to come.

I'll bring it there, and I'll visit Esther.

Yes, yes. Okay. Bye.

[exhales] Yes. It was hers.

-I told you. -Mm.

-Dad. -What?

[plates clattering]

Do you think Mom is selfish?

Why?

Because I think she is.

[exhales] Aren't we all a bit selfish?

Gracia and I argued yesterday,

and we came to the conclusion that, for us, Mom is like…

a mystery.

Being a mystery and being selfish are two different things.

If you think that because she disappeared for all those years,

I can only say that she's not the only one who made a mistake.

It's like we both agreed to do things in the worst way possible.

-But you've learned from your mistakes. -[huffs]

Do you think Mom has too?

-Because I don't think so. -[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing]

I think Mom always does whatever is best for her.

She's in love with Paca now…

-[Paloma scoffing] -…whether we like it or not.

When you love someone,

you want to be with that person, and that's it.

Right. But Paca is despicable. I don't need to tell you that.

Now, I know one thing for sure, she'll do anything for Esther.

Without a doubt.

Would you like your mother to love you that way?

I don't know. [chuckles softly]

Your mother is not perfect, Paloma.

But neither are we.

What I can tell you for sure, and I'd bet my life on it,

is that she would never ever do anything to harm you and Gracia.

[birds chirping]

Beautiful flowers.

Aren't they?

-I picked them near the pathway. -[♪ music concludes]

I wanted to apologize.

I was really rude at dinner.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I didn't think anything of it.

-At all. -[chuckles softly]

Thanks.

We didn't start on the right foot when you arrived in Manterana,

but now that we live under the same roof, I'd like things to change.

[exhales] Both you and the flowers are going to brighten my day, huh?

I really appreciate it, because it has not been easy.

Why is that?

I love Paca and…

I know my place is where she is, but…

[♪ gentle piano music playing]

…I think about my daughters a lot.

It's been really hard

being far away from them.

They are close, but…

it's not the same. I miss them.

I know it wasn't an easy decision.

[Carmen] No.

But what's important is that you have a good relationship.

Yes. Our relationship is great.

We adore each other, we are closer than ever.

You don't need to worry then,

-right? -Mm.

It hurts being without them.

If you need anything while living in El Acebuche,

please tell me.

Thanks, Miguel.

Sure.

[laughs]

[♪ music concludes]

Come by and get some food.

Don Emilio, stop it, I'll do that.

Huh?

Who knows what you are eating.

As you wish.

I'll call you later.

[Emilio] So? How's Richi doing?

Not well, Don Emilio. Not well, but he's not talking to me.

He's not getting back on his feet.

Unlike others, who seem to be better.

Trini, I was very honest with him.

I thought we were both on the same page. He left because he wanted to.

What was he supposed to do? Stay and see you and Wilson walking hand in hand?

And again… [laughs] Please, I'm not dating Wilson.

He's also looking for an apartment in San Luis.

But without a job, how is he going to pay the rent?

He's staying with friends,

but they are fed up with seeing him on the couch

or sleeping in the dining room.

I haven't raised my son to be a nuisance to people.

I can see why Richi left.

He's a drama queen just like his mother.

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -How dare you say that to me?

You've just broken my son's heart, and now you are picking on me?

If you don't like what I do in this house, just tell me, and I'll go. Period.

Shush, stop that, Trini.

I understand that Richi is having a hard time.

Nobody likes to be rejected.

But staying on a friend's couch and being a pain is not a solution.

All of us have loved someone who hasn't loved us back.

That's a tale as old as time.

You know that I know that very well.

We have to bite the bullet and carry on. And above all,

we have to be smart enough to keep that person in our lives,

even if it's not how we've pictured it.

I know, but you must understand--

Don't tell me to understand, don't "Don Emilio" me, stop that.

Get that stupid idea of leaving Las Sabinas out of your head.

And find a way to bring Richi back home.

And you, Paloma, stop playing cat and mouse with Wilson.

If you truly like him, don't waste your time,

and stop worrying about Richi. He knows what the deal is.

The sooner he accepts it, the better.

And Trinidad, don't cry. Don't cry.

[♪ music concludes]

We are lucky to have you.

[birds chirping]

[Tomás] Working here today?

-Yes, I want to be closer to Esther. -How is she doing?

Fine. Better.

Good to hear. Anyway, I'll go see the boss.

The boss is upstairs with Esther and then she's going shopping with Laura.

Ah, well… I'll wait for her.

Those two are always together, right?

Um… Sorry?

Paca and Laura, they make a good couple, don't you think?

I guess so.

I don't know, it's their private life.

Yes, yes. I just wanted to know what you thought about Laura.

I don't think anything, good or bad, to be honest.

But why are you so interested?

Well, now we live under the same roof,

she's dating my mother-in-law… [chuckles]

I wouldn't want to mess up.

Well, you shouldn't worry, Miguel. Even if Paca is in love,

she's not easily fooled.

Right.

[♪ mysterious piano music playing]

Could you please stop?

I'm sick of faking in front of everyone, Mom.

Especially Miguel.

No kidding. Your husband is exhausting sometimes.

You saw him yesterday during dinner. He wants me to do more tests.

Don't worry. I wanted to tell you about that, it's already been sorted.

What do you mean "sorted"?

Do you know Doctor Armando Gutiérrez-Vela?

It rings a bell. He works in San Luis Hospital's OB team, right?

Exactly.

As it turns out, he's the youngest son of some old friends,

-Concha and Alberto. -What have you done this time?

I called in a favor from when I helped his parents

set up a construction company.

And how did you call it in?

Armando will kindly write all the medical reports we might need.

And he will also see you and Miguel at his office

in order to monitor your pregnancy.

What are you saying, Mom? That's completely illegal.

[Paca] It is.

As illegal as half of the apartments his parents built

in order to pay for his studies.

We are getting into trouble.

No, honey, no.

We are getting out of it.

[birds chirping]

[exhales]

-Hi. -[♪ music concludes]

Lucas told me that you know.

You're sick in the head.

Julia, please, understand us.

We fell in love before finding out.

It's impossible to stop loving someone overnight.

What's impossible is that you are together.

I can assure you it's not a whim. We are having a really hard time.

Yes, I saw you having a really hard time yesterday.

We'll break up, I promise, but…

I just need you to keep it secret a bit longer.

That's stupid.

Why do you need more time?

To make out in the woods?

I don't know how you can do it.

[huffs]

My brother told me you had broken up,

but I can see it's not true.

That's why you want to go to Barcelona, isn't it?

To get away from everyone and be together.

Julia, put yourself in our shoes.

-Are you serious? -[♪ reflective piano music playing]

I don't want to be in your shoes. It's the worst thing I've ever seen.

Exactly. I know it's difficult to understand,

but we need time to break up.

If I break it off now and never see Lucas again, I will die.

I wouldn't be able to bear it.

What you shouldn't be able to bear is kissing him

-and doing what you're doing. -I'm begging you. Please, Julia.

Help us.

That's what I want to do.

So, either you break up, or I'll do it for you.

[♪ music intensifies]

[♪ music concludes]

[footsteps receding]

[phone chimes]

-[Esther] Is that the doctor? -No.

We agreed that you'd contact him.

It's Laura. We are going shopping.

At least someone is happy in this house.

And you?

Are you happy about her?

Wow, my mother asking for my opinion.

This is new.

I can see Laura is a good influence on you.

Do you really think so?

I don't know her very well, but I like her.

What about us as a couple?

Do you think she loves me?

Look at that.

Manterana's own Iron Lady seems to have a heart.

Don't be silly.

Tell me what you think.

Do you think she's in love with me?

That woman adores you. You just have to see how she looks at you.

What is it? Don't you feel the same?

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -I don't know. Sometimes, it's hard for me

to see the Laura I fell in love with.

Why?

Has she changed that much over the years?

I don't know. I feel like I'm chasing a memory

that always slips through my fingers.

Mom, we all change.

You too. You are not the same.

What matters is not what you had in the past, but what you have now.

What are you afraid of?

Not loving her because she's not who I remembered,

or loving her too much because she reminds me of someone I adored

and then…

Being disappointed.

It's more than that, Esther. It's more than that.

[birds chirping]

-[♪ music concludes] -Hello, hello.

[chuckles softly]

[Emilio] What are you doing there, daydreaming?

-Are you all right? -Yes.

I don't buy it.

[sighs, grunts]

I've been keeping everything in here for many years.

And…

I can feel when someone is suffering.

Come on, tell me, I'm on a roll. What's the problem?

Friends?

Family?

A friend.

Good. We have the headline.

What's going on with your friend?

She's gotten into a terrible mess.

What kind of mess?

-Something illegal? -No, no.

It's not that.

It's something that, in the long run… [huffs]

…will be bad, and she'll suffer.

Have you talked to her?

Yes, but she didn't listen.

What's worse, she lied to me and said she had fixed it.

Mm. That's not nice.

And that hurt you, right?

A lot.

But I'm more concerned than hurt, Grandpa.

I love her very much.

[♪ emotive piano music playing]

My friend, I mean. She's not just any friend.

And can you think about anything else that you could do to help her?

Talking to her parents.

But if she finds out that I betrayed her,

she won't talk to me ever again.

And that'll be terrible because I love her so much.

[exhales] I don't know what to do.

Well, the first thing is don't rush.

And bear in mind that,

when someone is in trouble,

they can't think straight, and that's why they need help.

And if she doesn't know how to protect herself,

maybe she needs you to do that for her.

[huffs] I'm telling you, she wouldn't understand.

Perhaps not at first, but…

does your friend love you like you love her?

I guess so.

Well, sure she does.

Then, she'll realize you did her a favor

and will end up forgiving you.

-Hmm? -[chuckles softly]

[♪ music concludes]

Hey.

I just read your text. What's wrong?

Is Emilio okay?

Emilio is great.

What is it then?

[exhales]

We need to talk.

Yes, look, I also wanted to--

Let me talk first, please.

If you don't mind. [laughs]

Sure.

[exhales]

I'm tired, Wilson. I'm…

tired of not having the courage to do what I want

for fear of not pleasing everyone.

I didn't make a move with you because I didn't want to hurt Richi

and I was afraid that Trini would be mad at me, but…

honestly, did that help me at all?

Exactly. It didn't.

I'm sick of watching from the sidelines.

-I'd love it if we could-- -Paloma.

-What? -Mm.

-Stop, please. -Why?

-I like you and I know-- -I like you too.

So?

-But, look-- -[Paloma] Please.

Stop. Not you too, please.

-Let's stop going around in circles. -I have to go back to my country.

[♪ emotive piano music playing]

When?

Now.

[chuckles softly]

And for how long?

I'm leaving, and I don't think I can come back.

[chuckles softly]

[Wilson] My brother is sick, and it's serious.

I have to take care of his family while he's being treated.

His wife and my nephew need me.

Now more than ever.

I'm so sorry, Wilson.

Me too.

-That's why I think it's best… -[♪ music concludes]

…to leave it as it is before it hurts us even more.

-[inhales, exhales] -[♪ wistful instrumental music playing]

I've never believed in long-distance relationships.

Me neither.

But…

I do believe in friendships, don't you?

[♪ music concludes]

Are you sure you'll be fine?

Yes. Go, you're so annoying. [laughs]

I'll go prepare for the meeting about the works.

I'll be here when you get back.

Besides, Laura says she'll come and stay with me later.

[exhales]

Hey, what's your problem with Laura?

What happened yesterday was really weird. It wasn't like you.

I can't stand her, Esther. I'm sorry.

Because you judge her for what she did in the past.

I don't like what she does in the present either.

[Esther] But why?

She goes out of her way for us.

And I think she truly loves my mother.

Paloma told me that she argued with Laura

before she left Las Sabinas.

Yes, I know.

And Laura told me that she had a great relationship with her daughters.

So?

She doesn't have to tell you her problems.

I would have done the same.

Even more so if we consider how cold you've been to her.

I don't care if she tells me or not. Or if she lies.

But there's something about her that… no.

-[♪ soft piano music playing] -Do you know what it is?

She's the first person

who has made the great Paca Utrera feel insecure.

[chuckles softly]

You should see how head over heels in love she is.

Ask yourself…

is it good or bad

that Paca Utrera feels insecure?

-Because I'm not really sure. -[♪ music concludes]

So, by July 2nd,

you'll be fully settled in Barcelona, right, honey?

Yes, we want to move in that week.

Mm. And how's the job hunting going?

You and Lucía speak English very well. That'll be useful there.

-[Lucas] Yes. -Really?

Uh… Julia, I'm talking to Mom.

Could you leave?

This is unbelievable.

Are you still insisting on going to Barcelona?

-It's not your business. -You are a pair of lunatics.

Could you please leave?

I'm not going anywhere.

-And what you should do is-- -Shut up!

Tell her already.

-Tell me what? -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Will you make me be the one to tell her?

-Stop it, Julia, please. -Could you tell me what's going on?

I don't understand anything.

Lucas!

-You're way out of line. -Me?

[Lucas] Yes. It's none of your business.

Could you please tell me what's going on?

What's going on?

They are going to Barcelona

so nobody can stick their nose into their relationship.

What relationship?

Lucas, what relationship?

Lucas and Lucía are together.

[♪ music intensifies]

Is your sister telling the truth?

[exhales]

Paca, I have news about Laura. I mean, Carmen Siciliani.

Come in. And don't speak too loudly.

The PI has found out that Laura had a son in Argentina.

And does he know where her son is?

-He's investigating. -[♪ music fades]

But it looks like

he's come across bureaucratic issues and he's stuck.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm here to update the security system.

Does it have to be now?

Better today than tomorrow.

It'll be just five minutes. Maybe ten.

It's a matter of parameters and codes that--

All right, yes, spare me the gibberish. Just do what you have to do.

Come with me, Tomás.

-[Tomás] Bye. -Bye.
