Original subtitles

-I like you. I'd love it if we could-- -Paloma, stop, please.

I have to go back to my country.

PREVIOUSLY

It's a lie. I'm not pregnant.

I want you to spend more time with me.

You should be with a man who loves you. I truly love you.

I wish Miguel would tell me things like that.

-I had a great time with Silvia. -But you used to hate each other.

I think that you and I can be good company to each other.

The kind that gives you a breeze of happiness.

Lucas and Lucía are together.

[Carmen] Paca's money is not enough.

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

Now it's my turn.

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

Sorry. I'm here to update the security system.

[♪ theme music playing]

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

-[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing] -[panting]

[Lucas] I've been thinking, and there's only one solution…

leaving Manterana.

[Julia] Lucas and Lucía are together.

-[♪ music concludes] -[Julia] They are going to Barcelona

so nobody can stick their nose into their relationship.

[Lucas] You promised not to say anything.

You promised you'd break up with Lucía.

This was not your business, Julia.

Do you think I liked telling mom?

But I had to, because I care about you, and I love you.

-[Lucas] Thanks, you screwed up my life. -That's enough.

-[Lucas] No, Mom-- -No! Enough!

Julia did the right thing telling me.

Don't you realize that you can't be in a relationship with Lucía?

We didn't know we were brother and sister. We didn't grow up like that.

-To me, she's not my sister! -But you are brother and sister! You are!

-[phone buzzing] -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

-Who is it? Lucía? -Mom, give me the phone.

-The phone. -[Gracia] Give it to me!

No phone from now on! And no going out!

Are you going to lock me up? Tie me to a chair too?

If I have to, I will.

-You've gone mad. -You're not going to Barcelona. Forget it.

It's my life, Mom. It's none of your business.

I'm sorry, honey. I don't want to hurt you,

but you can't be with Lucía!

Well you should know that in a year, she and I will be of legal age,

and then I swear, you won't be able to keep us apart.

-[phone buzzing] -[pants]

-God… -[♪ music concludes]

Lucas, I can see that you're getting my messages, but you are not replying.

Uh… Call me, please.

[footsteps approaching]

Are you okay?

Yes.

Yes. I must have eaten something that didn't sit well.

Shall I call a doctor?

No. No. I'm the doctor. [chuckles softly]

It's nothing. I'll be fine soon. I'll just take a walk, and it'll be okay.

No, no. You just go upstairs, and I'll bring you dinner later.

[chuckles softly] Honey, you don't have to take care of me.

No. Yes, I do. I owe you.

You took care of me a million times when I was little.

-All right. You win. [laughs] -[♪ gentle piano music playing]

By the way, do you know if your father has come back yet?

I haven't seen him, but he's been working until late.

Yes, he must be busy with the refurbishment.

Come on, upstairs. I know all the tricks for ducking out.

[Esther chuckling softly]

-It sounded like a threat. -[♪ music concludes]

No. It didn't sound like a threat, it was a threat.

They're gonna continue dating. That's that.

And did he say it like that?

No, not exactly like that, but basically.

The phone didn't stop chiming. It was Lucía. I took it away from him.

Well, Gracia, calm down.

How am I going to calm down, Tano? How can I calm down?

I took away his phone. I told him not to leave the house.

Me, a mother who advocates good communication

-with her children. -You've done what you had to do,

-and that's it. -[sighs]

My God, this is crazy. All of this is crazy.

-[Tano] Come here. Come here. -[exhales]

This will pass, you'll see, okay?

Lucía and Lucas will see reason. Besides, when we move,

I'm sure it'll pass.

And what do I do in the meantime? What can we do?

[groans softly]

What if we move to Madrid earlier?

But how are we going to move earlier?

Do I take him out of school halfway through the school year? Where will he go?

-No. I have to talk to Miguel. -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Well, there's no need to go now.

Yes, yes, yes. The sooner I tell him, the better.

He might come up with an idea to stop this nightmare.

What if I talk to him?

To whom? To Lucas?

Yes. I'm good at convincing people. That's why I'm a politician.

No, honey. It has to be his father.

It must be him.

I can't keep him out of it.

I'm not saying to keep him out of it. Simply that, maybe,

it's good that an adult who's not his--

No, honey. It must be Miguel.

Yes, sure. You are right.

I'm going to…

[clears throat]

-Bye, honey. -Bye, my love.

[♪ music concludes]

What a pity that Esther isn't feeling well.

Well, you know the first months are complicated.

I remember that my body was upside down with Paloma and Gracia.

-[Paca] Mm-hmm. I remember. -Hi.

-Where's Esther? -In her room.

She was nauseous.

But is she okay?

Had you been here, you'd know it's nothing.

-You said you had to do some paperwork. -[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing]

And you've been away the whole afternoon.

I didn't know I had to clock in and out.

You don't have to. But you should let us know.

So lucky to be a teenager again who has to tell Mom he's running late.

Save the sarcasm, Miguel.

You and I know why you spend so much time away from home.

I don't owe anyone an explanation but my wife.

-Enjoy your meal. -Thanks.

[Miguel] Your mother said you weren't feeling well.

-[♪ music concludes] -No, but I'm fine now.

-We'll go to see a doctor tomorrow. -No, I'm fine. Really.

Miguel, please, don't insist.

Besides, I'm considering seeing a different gynecologist.

How come?

I'm not convinced by the one I'm seeing now,

and I was recommended one in San Luis who, apparently, is one of the best.

But we'll talk about that later.

-You didn't give me a kiss. -Ah.

-I'm sorry. -Mm.

It took you a long time.

-I was very busy with work. -Mm. I've missed you.

[♪ gentle piano music playing]

Me too.

Wait, wait, wait.

-We shouldn't, should we? -It's fine.

What about your rest?

It's fine, Miguel.

Sure?

Honey, do you really want to stop now?

-No. [laughs] No, of course not. -Okay.

[♪ music concludes]

[knocking on door]

-[Miguel] Seriously? -[Paca] Miguel.

Miguel? Are you there?

[Esther] Mm… Mom!

Mom, what-- what are you doing?

You have a visitor.

At this time?

Yes. It's Gracia. She says it's urgent.

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -[footsteps receding]

Sorry, I thought you should know right away.

Yes, yes, sure.

So, does the trip to Barcelona have to do with this?

And I convinced you to let Lucía go because I'm stupid!

Don't blame yourself.

How long have they been like that… with…

-Months. -And do you know if… if…

-God, I haven't asked them. -[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing]

We must get them to break up, Miguel.

Lucas can live with his grandma in Barcelona. And Lucía, with her mother.

But like I said to Tano when he told me to go to Madrid earlier,

they won't finish this school year. I don't want that.

I don't want to be away from Lucas for that long.

We have to come up with something, Miguel.

Think of solutions all you want,

but if they want to see each other, they will.

-[♪ music concludes] -What?

They'll find a way. Didn't you and I do it?

You know what'll happen when they are 18. Lucas made that very clear.

So we just sit back and wait for them to have sex. Great.

I'm not saying that.

Sorry, I'm nervous. I'm nervous.

If I'd just told you Lucas was your son, this wouldn't be happening.

Well, we don't know that.

Get that out of your head.

What's important is that you and I are in this together, and we'll fix it.

They are making a mistake.

They have to realize it themselves.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

Lucía! Lucía, please, can we talk just a minute?

I don't want to talk.

I do want to talk. Gracia told me--

I know what she told you.

And do you think that's normal?

Dad, leave me alone.

Lucía, listen to me!

[Lucía] No, I don't want to listen nor talk to you. Leave me alone.

[♪ music concludes]

I don't understand how we didn't realize.

-[Esther] What did Lucía say? -[exhales]

I couldn't talk to her. She's locked herself up in her room.

-I'll try again tomorrow. -Can I do anything?

No, thank you.

I'm sure there's something I can do.

No, you shouldn't worry, please.

[sighs] Okay. If that's what you want… But…

you should tell her mother.

-Yes, yes. Sure. -[Esther] Mm?

Do you think I should talk to Lucas?

When? Now?

Mm, well, I guess his mother must have talked to him, right?

Right, but I'm their father.

Okay. Well, I don't know why you'd ask… [laughs] …if you've already decided.

Go. Hurry. Go to Las Sabinas, see if you can change something.

Why are you reacting that way?

Because I'm trying to help you, and you're refusing.

-I'm giving you advice, and it's useless. -Sorry, but calm down.

Then don't tell me anything, because I'm fed up with all this.

I can't stand it anymore.

[door slams]

[exhales]

[birds chirping]

[exhales]

[♪ gentle piano music playing]

[♪ music fades]

[♪ brooding instrumental music playing]

-[♪ music concludes] -[birds chirping]

[footsteps approaching]

I'm really sorry, Paloma. That sucks.

I've just spoken to Wilson, and he told me that…

[inhales deeply]

-How are you coping? -[exhales]

I just want to focus on my job and stop thinking about what could've been

-and won't be. -What happened?

[clicks tongue] Wilson is leaving.

Oh. Do you want to talk?

I'll leave you two alone. I'll be right back.

I really don't feel like it, Mom.

I know you are here because of the pills.

Sorry. With all this mess, I forgot about them.

No, no. It's not that. I wanted to talk to you about something.

All right. Well…

I don't have much time, but I'm all ears.

I was thinking about our situation…

No, no. Mom, it's not the right time for that.

Paloma, please, just a second.

-[sighs] -This won't take long.

Your father was right.

Eventually, the land will be yours and your sister's.

Giving it back to me is absurd.

In the end, it's your decision.

Mm-hmm.

And what does Paca think about that?

Why does Paca have to give her opinion?

This is between mother and daughter.

Mm?

What if I start working on the land with you?

Well, if that's what you want…

-Yes, it's what I want. -[♪ wistful piano music playing]

Okay. But I can't today, I'm very busy.

And with the co-op, the refurbishment…

I can adapt.

I'm going to San Luis this afternoon, so I can't.

Look, I just want to spend time with you.

I'm living in El Acebuche. I don't want us to drift apart.

[footsteps approaching]

-Is tomorrow afternoon okay? -Mm. Yes.

Laura. Can we talk?

-[♪ music concludes] -[exhales]

[footsteps approaching]

[sighs]

What did Gracia want yesterday?

It's none of your business.

Of course it is, from the day that woman first set foot in my house.

What did she want?

It was about Lucas and school.

No. She was very agitated.

It was more important than "The kid has failed math."

[Miguel exhales] You are exhausting.

Lucía, wait.

-Can we talk? -Dad, no.

Could you please let us talk in private?

Thanks.

Don't you realize what you are doing, Lucía?

-Tell me you didn't do anything. -No.

-Sure? -Sure.

You can't see Lucas again.

-Get him out of your head. -Dad, please.

Do you not understand what it means to be siblings?

No. I don't want to be far from Lucas.

Jesus, Lucía, please, listen to reason. You can't be together.

-I don't know what to do. -[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

I tried to forget him, but I can't.

I'm in love with him. [sobs]

[♪ music intensifies]

Right.

[♪ music concludes]

After what happened between us, I think it makes total sense, doesn't it?

Don't you agree?

I think it's weird.

Not long ago, you were in love with me.

You made it easy for me to fall out of love with you.

And divorce is your revenge.

No.

I'm doing it now

because I can look at you without feeling any pain.

I don't know. Let me think about it.

Think about what? It's crystal clear.

We don't love each other, nor do we live together. Why wait?

Do the girls know?

This is between you and me.

Well, it concerns them too.

If you are talking about the inheritance, don't worry.

They will get their share anyway.

-You seem so sure. -Yes.

So? Shall we sign?

[sighs] Laura, I don't want to continue being

the saddest man in the world.

I was so determined to win you back

that I didn't realize how many years had passed.

-[♪ hopeful piano music playing] -I have new hopes now.

And I want to be happy. At my age, yes.

I want to try. It's my last chance.

But in order for that to happen, I have to close this chapter of my life.

-Well, of our life. -[Carmen] Mm.

I know you understand. You want to move on too.

-Yes. -[Emilio] Well, that's it.

I'll give it to my lawyer and if everything is in order, I'll sign it.

Believe me, this is the best for both of us.

[♪ music concludes]

[boxes clattering]

[exhales]

-Hi. -Hi.

Sorry, I thought you weren't here. I came to pick up my stuff.

Don't worry. Don't worry, I was leaving.

Richi.

Are we really going to end it like this?

[exhales]

How's Wilson?

You won't believe me, but I'm not proud of what I did to him.

[Paloma] Mm.

Is that an apology?

-Yes. -[Paloma] Right.

I'm not the one you have to apologize to.

Could you tell Wilson when you see him, please?

I think you should do that yourself.

And…

I think it'd be easier too if you worked here again.

[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing]

[huffs]

-I don't know. Why are you saying that? -[Paloma chuckles softly]

Because I'd like you to come back.

-Wouldn't that be a bit awkward? -[Paloma] Well…

Not if we try hard to get back to what we were before we dated.

-Friends. -[♪ music concludes]

Yes. Friends.

What about Wilson?

Don't you know?

No. Aren't you with him?

No.

[♪ regretful instrumental music playing]

And what I'm proposing doesn't have anything to do with that.

I wouldn't like to lose someone as authentic and as noble as you.

I know and I understand that you are upset right now, but…

I'm telling you, sincerely, Richi, that I'd really like you to come back.

-What's wrong, son? -[♪ music concludes]

I'm sick of all this manipulation.

I told you.

I'll take the money from Paca's accounts and I'll go far away from here, with you.

Daniel,

I didn't spend almost 20 years in prison to have my son backing out now.

I'm not backing out. Don't say that, Mom.

All right? I spent my whole childhood without you.

And I left my adopted family for you. So, please,

don't say again that I'm backing out.

I'm your family, son.

And I just want what's mine. What my sister enjoyed and I didn't.

Right, but we could have done things differently.

-[Carmen] Really? How? -I don't know. Telling the truth.

Perhaps, the Molinas would have welcomed you into their home. They are your family.

My family…

What did I get from having a sister?

You don't know what really happened. She died.

What? It's difficult for you to accept.

My sister didn't lift a finger for me.

When I asked her for money and a ticket

because I was getting death threats in Argentina,

she didn't send it, son.

-What? Did she just care about money? -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Now it's me who wants money.

Sure. You just care about the money.

What am I to you then, Mom? I'm nothing. I'm nobody.

Why are you saying that, son?

Why? You are the only thing I have left.

I'm fighting for you.

If I want El Acebuche, Las Sabinas and everything else,

it's because I want you to have the future I've always dreamed for you, my love.

Don't you ever doubt that.

[sobs]

-[♪ music concludes] -[Emilio exhales]

What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?

[chuckles] No, it's nothing.

Come on, don't be shy. Say it.

[Silvia] Mm…

You look very fancy lately, don't you?

Of course. Would you like me to go out

in my stinky work shirt?

No, no, no. Please, no.

And is it only because of that?

Of course, why wouldn't it be?

To impress me.

-No way. -[laughs]

But is it working? [laughs]

[♪ suspenseful instrumental music playing]

[Emilio and Silvia laugh]

Well, well…

-You are having so much fun. -Is that a problem?

[Paca] No, I'm just surprised.

Not long ago, you couldn't even see each other's faces.

What happened?

We are friends now.

Aw! Sorry, I forgot. You don't have any friends.

That's why you can't recognize a friendship.

Does friendship include flirting?

Go to hell, Paca. [laughs]

I think you are too old

to be making fools of yourselves around town.

You are the fool. You have everything you could wish for,

but you're still not happy, so you envy those who are.

So, you are together.

-Do you seriously like this human waste? -[laughs]

You are the worst, Paca.

Not even his wife wanted him. That has to mean something.

[Silvia] Listen to me, Paca.

-First… -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

…Emilio is a man who acknowledged and fixed his mistakes,

something that others didn't do.

Second,

it's really mean, especially for you,

to blame Emilio for his failed marriage. And thirdly,

if there's more than a friendship between us, it doesn't concern you.

So, take your poison and spread it somewhere else.

Have a nice day.

-[♪ music concludes] -[footsteps approaching]

-Do you know where my headphones are? -Um, no.

How are you doing?

Are you going to chew my ear off like my mom?

No, I just wanted to know how you're doing.

That was it.

You not wanting to answer is another topic.

Well, I feel like trash.

Understandable.

I get that. But you know what?

-It'll pass. -[scoffs] It won't.

You should know. Have you forgotten what my mom is like?

Sorry, the door was open.

Lucas, can we talk?

-Now? -Yes, now.

-I don't think it's the best time. -It's important.

It's fine, Tano.

No worries.

If you're not saying anything--

Do you know your mom and I almost ran away?

I take that as a no.

-No. -[Miguel] Well, it's true.

One time, when we were kids,

and another time not so long ago.

When?

When you came back to Manterana.

I saw her, and it was like no time had passed.

But it didn't work.

Then you didn't really love each other.

I loved your mom very much.

-She was the love of my life. -[♪ gentle piano music playing]

[Miguel] But when we were together, we'd hurt each other.

And we'd hurt those who loved us.

We made them suffer.

So, she let me go and…

I let her go.

What are you asking me to do?

Do what you did and give up Lucía?

I know it's hard. Really hard.

The most difficult decision I made in my life was leaving your mom.

But it was the right decision.

-[♪ music concludes] -[keypad clicking]

[Esther] Miguel,

I haven't heard from you today.

I'm really sorry about what I said yesterday.

It's not what I really think.

It's just that… it kills me being at home all day and…

[exhales] Forgive me, please.

Call me.

I love you.

[♪ gentle piano music resumes]

[♪ music concludes]

[birds chirping]

[Trini] Don Emilio isn't back yet.

[Wilson] Ah. I know.

I wanted to talk to you.

I would have never expected that from you.

-Listen, Trini-- -You pretend to be nice,

but when people drop their guard, you stab them in the back.

-[Wilson] I'm sorry? -Do you know my son has quit his job

and left his home because of you?

-Nobody kicked him out of Las Sabinas. -How dare you say that to me?

[Richi] Mom, leave it.

Honey.

-No, I don't want to leave it. -[Richi] Yes--

I want him to know the pain he's caused you.

I've talked to Paloma and…

[exhales] …I'm coming back.

Do you know you should have never left?

-And, as for you, well… -[♪ soft somber piano music playing]

…I'm sorry.

I should have never reacted that way, no matter how much it hurt.

I appreciate your apology.

And I am sorry too.

Perhaps I should have been more honest with you from the beginning.

Come on, give me your bag.

Anyway…

How is it going? How's your brother?

-[♪ music concludes] -[both laugh]

[door closing]

Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm late.

I know.

Why would that be?

Ah…

-[babbles, clears throat] -[♪ cheerful piano music playing]

Has the soft drink supplier come by?

Yes, I told him to leave everything in the stockroom.

Ah, good. I'm going to have a look then, because I…

changed the order-- I'm going to check…

-[laughs] -[bead curtains rattling]

Her chakras have opened too.

Excuse me?

We can talk about those for hours, Emilio.

But, to sum it up,

she's been very happy since you started seeing each other.

Ah.

[Nati] And I'll get going.

It's going to get dark, and I want to take pictures.

-Bye. -Bye.

Nati.

She just left.

Oof!

This is such a mess.

Don't worry, I'll help you.

No, no. I've been doing this my whole life. I can do it alone.

-I'll do it. -No.

No. I don't need your help. It's fine.

[plates clattering]

[laughs]

[both laugh]

I thought you could do it.

I'm telling you, I can do it alone.

-You are very proud, aren't you? -And you, very stubborn.

-And you are always angry. -Look who's talking.

-You always need to have the last word. -Yes, I do.

See?

Is that a problem?

Not at all.

-Ah. -Deep down, I like it.

-[laughs] -And I loved what you said to Paca.

Did you?

How much?

[♪ music intensifies]

More than you can imagine.

Mm.

And…

aren't you going to thank me?

Thank you?

Um…

In a different way?

It's been 20 years since I kissed anyone.

Me too.

[♪ romantic instrumental music playing]

-[birds chirping] -[♪ music concludes]

Lucía.

Could you come here for a second?

Why did your father want to talk to you?

It's nothing. I got a low mark in chemistry, and he told me off.

You know he always overreacts.

[Paca] Mm.

-I have to go, I'm late. -Where are you going?

To Nora's house.

-We are going swimming in her pool. -Why doesn't she come here?

Our pool is bigger.

[huffs] Another day?

[Carmen] Hi.

Anyway… I have to go.

Bye.

Are you working? Have you got a minute?

Sure. What's wrong?

Nothing.

But I think you should know.

I've been talking to Emilio. I didn't want to tell you earlier, but…

He's finally agreed.

Jesus, say it already.

We're getting divorced.

[♪ mysterious piano music playing]

Aren't you going to say anything?

What do you want me to say?

Aren't you happy about it?

Yes, sure. Forgive me.

It's just that I didn't expect it. I'm very happy for you.

For me and for both of us, right? Can't you see?

I'm ending my marriage right as I've moved in with you.

It's a sign.

[laughs] Saying that is not like you at all.

Maybe.

What are you doing?

I know you are not ready to go public with our relationship,

but you will be some day.

And when you are,

I want you to accept this ring and marry me.

Miguel, my love.

I've been calling you all day and…

and you are not picking up nor answering my messages.

I guess you are with Gracia sorting out what happened with Lucas

and Lucía, but it's just that…

I need to hear from you, I need…

I don't want to feel so…

so alone.

[exhales]

[♪ music concludes]

[knocking on door]

I'm sorry to bother you, Esther. I just wanted to know how you were before…

-leaving. -Mm.

Fine. Thanks.

And Miguel?

-[Esther sniffles] -What's wrong?

Come on.

You know you can tell me.

It's just that being locked up in here all day makes me…

reassess many things.

What things?

Well, if some decisions I made in my life are worth it or…

[breathes shakily]

Never mind. I don't want to talk about it.

[sniffles]

Look, I don't want to insist, but…

you are a strong woman.

You'll get through this.

As you've always done, right? [chuckles softly]

Thank you.

You always know what to say.

Mm…

No, that's not true.

Declaring my love for you in the middle of the street wasn't very appropriate.

Right? [laughs]

[♪ gentle piano music playing]

[♪ music concludes]

I managed to make him come to his senses.

Really?

I'm so happy.

-That's great. Isn't it, honey? -Yes, of course.

I'll tell Lucas right now that I'm very proud of him.

All right.

3 MISSED CALLS - 6 UNREAD MESSAGES

As soon as Lucas comes downstairs,

make an excuse and leave.

-Tano, this is absurd. -Don't make me say it twice.

As you wish.

Lucas is not in his room.

[Miguel] What do you mean?

He was grounded. He was told to stay in his room, and he isn't there.

And he had come to his senses thanks to you.

He's taken his phone too.

-Where could he be? -I don't know. Call Lucía, please.

-It's switched off. -[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

He's not answering.

I'm calling home.

[Paca] Hello?

Hi, Paca. Is Lucía home?

No. She's not.

She left a while ago. To go swimming with Nora.

All right. Thanks.

I'll call you later.

She says she's at Nora's.

I'm calling Nora.

Hi, Marta. Yes, this is Lucía's father.

Is Lucía there?

And Nora?

No, don't worry. I'll tell you later.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Are you okay?

What shall we do?

-We get the tickets and leave. -Where to?

Wherever, but far from here.

No, Lucas. We need a plan.

The plan is being together. That's the plan.

Right. And where are we going to live? With what money?

Listen to me, if we stay here,

they'll keep us apart.

-And we don't want that, do we? -[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

I'd go crazy.

Then trust me.

We'll get through this, you'll see. All right?

[♪ music intensifies]

Are you sure?

Yes.
