Original subtitles

It hurts to know that Gracia and my grandchildren

won't have their share of my land.

PREVIOUSLY

-[Paca] I'll sell you your share. -What?

What you said about canceling the mining project,

were you serious about that? Is it because Laura is back?

That won't happen again.

I won't disappear,

Emilio won't come back home from work early…

Emilio wasn't at work.

You have a mark on your ankle that I've never seen.

I want you to investigate Laura again.

I want to legally recognize you.

I've been Lucas Rivera for 17 years. I don't want to change my name.

[Lucas] I don't want to be recognized as his son

because I don't want any paper to say we are siblings.

[Tano] You decide to recognize him now?

It looks like you are determined to ruin my marriage.

You are imagining things.

Admit it.

-You want to get Gracia back. -What are you saying?

Next month, Gracia and I will leave.

And you won't see her ever again. Is that clear?

[♪ theme music playing]

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

-It's beautiful, Miguel. -[Emilio] Very nice.

-I didn't know you were good at painting. -[Miguel] No, no, no.

-Beautiful, Miguel. -[Emilio] Very nice.

I…

-Beautiful, Miguel. -[Emilio] Very nice.

[Laura] I didn't know you were good at painting.

[Miguel] No, no, no, I didn't paint it. [laughs]

[Paloma] Oh! Minus one brownie point.

I asked a friend who's studying Fine Arts, he's the true…

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

-[Laura] It's beautiful, Miguel. -[Emilio] Very nice.

"It's beautiful."

-I love it. -"I love it."

-I think we'll frame it. -"We'll frame it."

-[Paloma] Is it a photo? -[Miguel] A friend did it…

-It's beautiful, Miguel. -[Emilio] Very nice.

[Laura] I didn't know you were good…

[♪ music intensifying]

[Tano] Next month, Gracia and I will leave.

And you won't see her ever again. Is that clear?

[Gracia] What do you think?

[Tano] Is that clear?

[♪ music concludes]

Huh?

Do you think it's a good time to tell the kids?

Yeah. Well, um…

You know them better. Whenever you decide will be fine.

Good morning.

Can I have your coffee? I'm late.

You have no shame. Here.

-[laughs] -Do we have marmalade?

We do.

Hey, guys, we've been talking

and the party wants to promote Tano.

They've offered him a new role.

-[in English] Tano for president. -[all laugh]

[in Spanish] The thing is that he would need to move to Madrid.

Alone?

I'd also like to return to my job,

the one I had before coming to Manterana.

So, you want us to move to Madrid?

You're going to Madrid anyway, to university. All of us would go.

Right. And we'd all live together too.

I was thinking about staying in a dorm, or an off-campus apartment.

Sure, you can do that later on.

It's hard to adapt during the first year. It might be good to be with the family.

Do you really want to leave?

Yes, really.

Change is always good, isn't it?

Maybe for you.

I don't want to leave my friends, Grandpa, Paloma, Trini…

No way, Mom.

Keep an open mind, Lucas. Think about the benefits.

I have.

And I'm with Julia.

I just see benefits for you.

It's not like that, Lucas. I think we all win.

It's not fair. You take us from one place to the next…

[scoffs] …as if our opinions don't matter.

Of course they matter, that's why we are talking about it.

[both sigh]

-I vote against. -Me too.

Five minutes to go. Run or we'll miss the bus.

Have a nice day.

Bye.

I thought they'd be a bit more excited about it.

Mm. Well, they didn't want to come here either, and look at them now.

They are teenagers, they complain about everything.

Then, they adapt.

We'll convince them. You'll see.

-Mm? -Mm.

[laughs]

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

[♪ soft pop music playing over speakers]

Have you thought about moving to El Acebuche?

Yes. I've been thinking about it and…

I can't go back there. I'm sorry.

It'd only be during the pregnancy.

No, I know.

But I've made a decision, and there's no turning back.

I don't want to force you,

but why don't you move there until the baby is born?

Are you serious?

I'm not saying that we separate or anything.

Miguel, that's exactly what you are saying.

That I move to El Acebuche and you stay with Lucía in town.

Lucía wants to move to El Acebuche too. I'll tell her to go with you.

And you tell me like that? So calmly?

Don't you care?

Of course I care, but I want you to be okay.

But we can't be apart.

We won't be, honey.

We can meet for breakfast, lunch, weekends…

Besides, I spend the whole day working at the co-op, honey.

What is all this nonsense?

This is a beautiful time in our lives,

and I want to experience it with you, not just meet up for breakfast or lunch.

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

The baby needs a happy environment.

And I'm unable to be happy at El Acebuche.

If you want to go, it'll be without me.

I'm sorry.

But you can't move to Madrid now.

[Gracia] I talked to Tano,

-and we believe it's the best option. -[♪ music concludes]

Gracia, we have just started a project together.

I won't bail on you.

-I'll keep on working. -[Paloma sighs] From Madrid?

Yes, of course, why not?

The health inspector is coming tomorrow.

We'll be manufacturing and distributing very soon.

What about the launch at the regional fair?

-Hmm? -Paloma, I'm not leaving tomorrow.

Before leaving, I'll make sure everything is working fine.

I don't want them to leave either,

-but if they think it's a good idea… -[cell phone ringing]

Excuse me, it's from court.

Hello?

Yes?

Won't you say anything? Are you okay with it?

-[Gracia] It's me. -[Laura] It's not New York.

-Madrid is just around the corner. -[Gracia] That's great.

We'll see them often.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

[exhales] I'll get the money back.

-About time. -[Paloma] Really?

What money?

Lucas' ransom, Mom. It had been seized.

I'll buy back my share of Las Sabinas, and then you know what I'll do.

There's no need.

[Gracia] Of course there is. Now more than ever.

I promised I would give it back to you.

Me too, Mom. It's only fair.

I'm happy just knowing that you own my share of Las Sabinas.

This is not up for debate, it's settled.

[Laura laughing]

Miguel said he won't consider moving back to El Acebuche,

and that Lucía and I can return here during the pregnancy if we want.

What did you tell him?

[exhales] Nothing yet.

He's testing you.

He's bluffing.

If you two come back home,

he'll follow in less than a month.

What if he's not bluffing? I don't want to live away from him.

I know him well.

I know his priorities. [scoffs]

He won't let you experience this pregnancy alone,

without being by your side.

I won't… take that risk.

Can't you see that he's manipulating you?

-[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing] -That's your opinion, Mom.

I don't want to think about strategies.

Said the woman who made up a pregnancy just to keep her husband.

And I'm not proud of it.

That's why I want to get pregnant right away,

to put an end to this lie.

I can't afford to be away from him now.

It'll take him just a few days to give in. Trust me.

I'm an expert at making people do things they don't want to do.

No.

I won't come back without him.

So, you choose him again.

I told you, Mom.

I need him in my life. That's why I married him.

[inhales deeply] Well, honey… [exhales] …it's your decision.

But the lie is getting bigger and bigger, and you might not be able to stop it.

[♪ music concludes]

-[birds chirping] -[indistinct chatter]

[Silvia] Why do you want to go to Madrid?

My party says I can be useful there.

Your party… What do they know? They haven't been here since 2003.

They know me from regional congresses and all that.

They liked me and made me an offer.

Right.

I don't mean to contradict them, but a mother knows her son best.

And I don't see what national politics

have to do with anything you've done in your life.

I don't know, Mom. When I do, I'll let you know.

And will you leave your town's mayoral office

and throw away all your work in Manterana for a bit more money?

Mom, it offends me that you think this is for money.

They haven't even made me an offer yet.

It's… vocational.

I thought your vocation was to serve your town, not your party.

The local government's office is very well prepared, it will be fine.

Between you and me, I'm not that important here.

I don't think you've thought this through.

It might help your political career,

but do you think you'll be happy if you're far from here?

I mean, I'll miss a lot of things.

You more than anything, of course.

But I'll be with Gracia, and I've wanted her my whole life.

And, I don't know…

I'm looking for apartments with a spare room.

-[laughs] -Just in case.

[Silvia] You may see it as a good opportunity now, but…

I believe you'll lose more along the way than you'll gain.

It won't be easy, but I think I have to do it.

That's why I need your support as a mother.

[scoffs] When have I refused to do that?

I won't start now.

But it doesn't mean I like the idea.

[♪ sentimental instrumental music playing]

I don't want to be far from you.

Mom…

I'll call you every day.

[sobs softly] Can you put that in writing?

[doorbell buzzes]

[♪ music concludes]

Hello, good afternoon. I'd like to talk to Paca.

Paca had some matters in San Luis to take care of.

-Thank you, Gladys. -Ah.

And do you know if she'll be back soon?

No idea, but…

if you need anything and I can help…

-Ah, maybe you can. -Yeah? Come on in.

No, no, no. It'll be just a second.

I just wanted to tell you both that I got the ransom money back.

So, whenever you're ready, I'd like to get back my share of Las Sabinas.

I'll talk to her about it.

There's not much to talk about.

Paca promised to resell it to me at the same price she paid.

-With interest. -[Tomás] I know.

I'll start preparing the paperwork so everything's ready when she's back.

I have all the documents from the previous contract.

I understand everything is the same, right?

-With interest, yes. -[Tomás] With interest.

Congratulations, by the way. I haven't seen you since your wedding.

Thank you.

How's life as a married woman?

-[chuckles] Wonderful. -Didn't you go on a honeymoon?

No, we'll go in summer.

Tano's really busy with the council right now.

Sure, sure. And where are you living now?

We're staying at Las Sabinas. There's plenty of space there.

Tano doesn't mind living with his in-laws, huh?

No, he gets along great with my family.

[laughs] I don't know him much, but I don't know,

he seems like…

[clicks tongue] …I don't know how to say it…

an easygoing guy, right?

Not a lot of men would cope well

with the fact their wife used to date their brother. [laughs]

-Right? -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Why would you say that?

I'm sorry.

It sounded a bit harsh.

Forgive me. Besides, it's not my business.

Exactly, my family is none of your business.

Let me know when the contract is ready, and we'll set a date to go to the notary.

Yes. Yes, yes. The idea is to move in a few months, that's why I asked

-if you needed people for the consultancy. -[♪ music concludes]

I could fit in that role, right?

Would you mind if I send you my résumé--

[laughs]

I know that you know me, it's just in case your boss doesn't remember me.

Thanks, Verónica, you are an angel.

Yes, yes, yes. Talk soon, talk soon. Bye-bye.

So, explain to me why you're moving to Madrid.

I've already explained.

It's an opportunity to grow professionally,

-both for Tano and for me. -But I can see you are very happy here.

And the kids too.

And we are. Moving to Madrid doesn't mean we are not.

Now that your mother is here,

we are all together,

and you are so excited about the Ecorana project…

We need to keep on evolving. I don't know. What do you want me to say?

The truth.

Gracia, the truth.

I know we've been apart for many years, but I'm your father,

and I know very well when you are hiding something.

You used to have that look when you were a kid

and were saying that you hadn't eaten the chocolate cookies,

but your mouth was still full of crumbs.

[laughs]

-[Emilio] Mm? -[♪ gentle instrumental music playing]

Whatever your reasons, I won't judge you.

I just want to understand.

It would hurt if it were because of something I did.

You didn't do anything, Dad.

Can I help fix the issue, then?

No, you can't.

Miguel and I kissed before the wedding, and Tano knows.

What? [exhales]

Are you still in love with Miguel?

No, no. We kissed, that was it. I don't know what happened. It was a kiss.

I chose Tano. I love him. I married him.

He makes me really happy.

Right. But Tano is not happy.

[♪ wistful instrumental music playing]

He can't get over my past with Miguel and thinks it's better to leave.

Even if it's not what you want.

I want my marriage to work, Dad.

But you wouldn't leave if it wasn't for Tano.

Maybe I would anyway.

Why? Don't tell me you haven't gotten over Miguel either.

No.

But Miguel and I have gone through a lot.

And seeing him every day at the co-op, I don't…

I think it's better for me to leave too.

[inhales]

-[♪ music concludes] -What are you doing?

Gracia Molina was here.

She's gotten the ransom money back and wanted me to prepare the new contract.

Are you working for her now?

I thought you'd want it as soon as possible.

Let's see.

It's basically the same, but I'ved added the interest.

[paper ripping]

What? Is something wrong?

I won't sell her my share of Las Sabinas.

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing] -Paca, you promised her.

No, I didn't promise. I said I would sell it to her.

But I've changed my mind.

-I have the right to do so, don't I? -Why the change of heart?

I said I'd sell it to her because Laura asked me to.

But now that I know what I know…

Right.

And what will you tell Gracia?

Nothing. I don't have to explain my business to anyone.

I understand that this change involves the mining project too.

Correct.

We'll restart it.

Mm-hmm.

And Las Sabinas is a key element.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm glad.

-And you should be. -[Tomás] Mm.

You'll have more money than you have ever seen in your life.

Get on with it immediately.

Oh, and…

Of course, this stays between us.

[♪ music concludes]

[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing]

[Emilio] Are you leaving?

-[Laura] Yes. -I need to talk to you about something.

Can it wait? I'm meeting Paca, and I don't want to be late.

I don't think she'd mind waiting for a minute.

Tell me.

I wanted to ask you something.

It's about the girls' idea of returning your share of the land.

What about it?

I want you to tell them there's no need.

That was the first thing I said, but they insisted.

Because they are generous and noble.

But you need to help me convince them it's not a good idea.

But why do you care so much?

Are you worried about me getting the land because I'm with Paca?

No, it doesn't have anything to do with me and Paca.

You'd be surprised to hear it, but I barely ever think about her.

Well, I'm glad.

But I think that Paloma and Gracia

should continue being the landowners.

Both of them have put all their faith into it, they manage it,

and it is currently thriving thanks to them.

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music resumes] -Emilio, what does it matter?

At the end of the day,

all of it will be theirs in the future.

Precisely. What's the point of signing it over to you now?

-[clinking] -[♪ music concludes]

[Gracia] Aw.

[Paloma] Here.

The pesticide certificate.

Paloma, don't be like that with me, please.

How do you want me to be? You're leaving me with all this.

Had I known, I might not have even started it, Gracia.

And on top of that, you are saying you have more work opportunities there…

You could have thought about it earlier.

[exhales]

[sighs]

Work played a role in the decision, but not as much as I first told you.

[♪ gentle instrumental music playing]

My relationship with Tano will only work if we're far from here.

There are too many ghosts from the past.

[exhales]

[Gracia] And, sometimes, we must make difficult decisions.

Because it's worse doing nothing and regretting it later, right?

But I'll miss you very much.

You, Mom, Dad, all this…

[Paloma] Mm.

Promise me that we will stay in touch.

I promise.

-And let me tell you… -[Paloma chuckling]

[sighs]

…If I'm leaving, it's because I know you can handle Las Sabinas

-and Ecorana without me, Paloma. -[Paloma huffing]

-You said you would help from Madrid. -Of course I will.

We have the Internet and phones.

But you've been the soul and driving force of all this for a while now.

[sighs]

Because you can do it, Paloma. And you'll do it brilliantly.

I'm very proud of you.

[laughs] Really?

[Gracia] Sure. What did you think?

I don't know, Gracia.

-[both laugh] -[♪ wistful instrumental music playing]

Do you remember when we were kids, when I'd tease you all the time?

Yes. [laughs] I remember. You would always break my heart.

I was so jealous because you did everything right. It sucked.

I wanted to be you.

-I was a nasty piece of work. -No. [laughs]

Now, I would like to look like you too, sometimes.

Shut up.

I'd like to be as sure as you are about everything.

To know when to make a decision for the sake of everyone, and for me too.

And to stop being so confused all the time…

-[sighing] -What's wrong?

I don't know what to do with Richi.

And Wilson.

[chuckling softly]

[Laura] Hi.

-[♪ music concludes] -How are you?

You could have told me that you'd be late.

[laughs]

Mm.

What's wrong?

[clicks tongue] It's been a bad day.

The day is long, it can be fixed. What happened?

Esther.

Miguel has put her in a difficult position again,

and she decided not to come live with me.

[Laura] I already told you.

She'll always choose her husband. Especially now that she's pregnant.

And you?

What's your excuse?

I have none.

I chose you.

Mm. But you still live in Las Sabinas.

Do you want us to talk about that again?

No, no need.

I read an article about "karma" yesterday.

Have you heard of it?

-Of course. -[Paca] Mm.

Supposedly, if you do good deeds selflessly,

life will reward you.

-That's what they say, yes. -Mm.

But I've realized that the nicer I am,

the unluckier I am.

I think that karma is for dumb people,

to avoid feeling stupid.

You've been generous to me. Aren't things okay between us?

I don't know.

You can't treat me badly just because you are mad at your daughter.

It's just that sometimes I have the feeling that…

you're playing me for a fool.

And sometimes I don't know whether you are a lunatic

or just plain grumpy.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

[Tomás] Excuse me.

-Hi. -Hi.

Paca, I'm reactivating the operation

and I've outlined all the steps to do so in this document.

Have a look whenever you have the time.

Thank you.

You have work to do. I'll go.

See you later.

[footsteps receding]

Why don't you get rid of her already?

She could be really useful.

If Paloma gives her her share of Las Sabinas,

I think I could convince her to sell it to me.

Treating her like that doesn't seem to be the best way to get it, to be honest.

Are you going to teach me how to treat people?

I should have held back.

But I can't stand thinking that she's lying to me.

When will we have news on this?

We are waiting for the PI's report.

We should receive it any minute.

The sooner we know who she is, the sooner we'll know her intentions.

Right, but in the meantime, don't force it too much.

I'm just testing the waters.

At some point, she'll make a mistake and give us a clue.

[♪ music concludes]

[Lucía] Are they thinking about it or have they already decided?

No, they are determined to do it. It's just unbelievable.

They haven't considered Julia and me.

Right. But what do you care?

After summer, you're going to university.

Yes, but I was planning to live in a dorm or in an apartment,

and then you could find excuses to come see me.

-Right. -And we'd be together.

-But if I live with them… -No, no, that'll be impossible.

It sucks.

Hey, don't think about that now.

Think about how we convinced my father

to let us go to Barcelona together for the whole summer.

What if I ask to go to university somewhere else, not Madrid?

With what excuse?

I'd say I want to study a degree that's not taught there.

I haven't chosen any yet anyway.

But you can't choose a degree like that, Lucas.

Come on, stop fussing over this, it's rubbing off on me.

I can't think about anything else other than you.

Do you think I can?

Sorry, I'm annoying.

Hey, how well do you know Barcelona? There are so many places to visit.

-[Lucía] Right? And so many concerts. -[♪ gentle instrumental music playing]

[engine stopping]

Paca!

[♪ music concludes]

I went to see you this morning. Have you talked to Tomás?

Yes. I've been really busy, but he mentioned something.

Whenever you want, we can finish off the purchase of my share of Las Sabinas.

My share.

-Sure. Well, you know what I mean. -[Paca chuckling]

When can we go to the notary?

When Tomás finishes preparing the contract.

[Gracia] Didn't he already do that? He said he was on it.

These things take time.

Is something wrong? The contract is the same one we had when you bought it.

Everything is fine, but in El Acebuche,

we have other concerns, and some take priority.

Don't worry, we'll sign it soon.

When?

I don't know, Gracia.

As soon as we have an appointment at the notary, we'll let you know.

Paca, what's going on?

You're so annoying.

No, I want to know what's happening right now.

All right, fine.

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -I won't sell it to you.

What?

You heard me.

But we had an agreement.

We didn't sign anything.

Is your word worth nothing?

I said I'd sell it to you, and I was willing to do it, but…

-you've waited too many months-- -I didn't have the money, Paca.

That's not my problem.

The thing is…

during this time, I've changed my mind. I don't…

I'm not interested in getting rid of Las Sabinas now. Perhaps in the future.

But what do you want? More money? Because I don't have it.

I know that.

Don't take it personally. It's not a good time to sell now.

Business is business.

Cristóbal.

-Esther. -[♪ music concludes]

-I said I didn't want to see you again. -[Tomás] I wanted to apologize.

No, not interested, Tomás.

Come on, Esther, I'm your mother's lawyer.

We can't avoid each other forever.

I shouldn't have said what I said. You're married, I should have shut up.

It was very unpleasant.

I know, I know. I'm sorry I put you in such an awkward position.

I can assure you it won't happen again.

Thank you.

And I appreciate your apology because you are right.

We'll continue seeing each other, and it's not worth it.

Mm.

By the way, your mother said you are not coming back to El Acebuche.

We're doing well in our new place.

I'm glad.

Does she visit you or is it always you visiting her?

She's dying to take care of you now that she's going to be a grandma.

[chuckles softly] No, she never comes.

Really? Why?

Doesn't Miguel let her in his-- your home?

That doesn't matter, Tomás.

What matters is that I'm near her whenever she needs me.

Of course, of course.

I won't hold you up any longer.

Thank you.

I'm glad we've cleared things up.

Thank you.

[footsteps receding]

Hey! Why the surprise visit?

We said we would be friends, right?

I did what friends do. I came by unannounced. Hi.

Well, friends bring cakes, wine,

-a little present. -Careful or I'll leave, huh?

Look… [laughs] We have things here too. What would you like?

Nothing, thank you.

-Just to sit with you for a bit. -All right.

I guess you are aware of Gracia and Tano's plans.

Yes, they told us this morning.

And what do you think?

I'm sad to see them leaving Manterana, but if that's their decision…

Come on, don't be politically correct. It doesn't suit you at all.

You are as upset as I am, if not more.

Especially now that you have all your family around.

They know better, Silvia.

The past must weigh heavily on them.

Right, I know.

I don't think running away from problems is the way to fix them.

Well, it's what they've decided.

So, you give up?

What do you want us to do?

Argue with them and make them angry?

[exhales] Yes, you are right.

If we are fine, at least they'll come see us from time to time.

-[Emilio] Hopefully. -Right.

I've always been jealous of you, you know?

-[♪ gentle instrumental music playing] -[Silvia] Why?

Because you've had your sons with you, and I've been alone for almost 20 years.

Me and my daughters never had the relationship you have with your sons.

I don't know what to say.

Perhaps you weren't with them, but the love was there.

When you needed them,

they didn't hesitate, and they came right away.

Anyway, wine?

Sure.

-[cicadas chittering] -[footsteps approaching]

[Richi] Hey, how are you?

[♪ music concludes]

Paloma, I know things haven't been great between us lately.

You're right. But nothing has happened for us to be mad at each other, right?

I know that you meant well when you said what you said,

and I'm sorry if I was too harsh.

I just think we saw what happened with María differently.

I needed to know that she was fine.

And she was, right?

[sighs] Yes.

Case closed.

All right. In that case, can we talk about the weekend?

What about the weekend?

I have a little surprise for you.

Ah.

I wanted to tell you tonight, but I don't know,

why wait, right? Look.

Horses? Mm.

Yes. I've booked a cottage and a horseback ride.

What? You don't like horses? It doesn't matter, we can change that.

No. No, no. It's not that, really.

What then?

-Um… -[♪ pensive instrumental music playing]

Look, Richi, these last few months, I've had a great time with you.

And…

they have helped me realize that you are a really nice guy…

a really good person.

"Good person."

You say that to the guy who helps you carry your shopping bags,

not your partner.

I think we are very different.

So? That's fine. Even better. [huffs] Being the same is so boring.

But I don't see myself with you in the future, to be honest, and…

I don't want to hurt you.

Forget about the future, Paloma. [laughs]

I mean, I…

I'll apologize because I know I might have suffocated you a bit

with this and… I'm sorry

But that's it, we can continue improvising, one day at a time.

-[♪ wistful instrumental music playing] -I don't think that's fair.

-And I don't want you to waste your time. -I'm not wasting my time.

I'm sorry, Richi, but I think it's best if we break up.

-[sniffles] -[♪ music concludes]

[footsteps approaching]

-Hi, honey. -Hi.

What's wrong?

Mm.

We all understand why you're leaving.

It's not that, Mom.

Have you talked to Paca?

About what?

She won't sell me my share of Las Sabinas.

Why?

Didn't she tell you?

No, of course not.

What explanation did she give you?

That it isn't a good time to sell, that business is business…

But how could she hide something like that from me?

It's always like that with Paca, Mom.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how you can be with a woman like that.

Because she's not what she seems.

Do you want me to convince her?

Huh?

It won't help much.

But she owes me an explanation. She lied to me too. I won't tolerate that.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

-[♪ music concludes] -I'm glad you are back.

I didn't like how things ended this morning.

You know that anything to do with Esther really affects me.

And you are right.

I take it out on people who don't deserve it.

[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing]

You're not selling my share of Las Sabinas to Gracia, why is that?

Ah. That.

I spoke to Tomás about it, and we think it's the best move.

Ah. And you weren't going to say anything?

It's a business decision.

I try to keep my business and my personal life separate.

But you know that denying my daughter the land is denying it to me too.

Quite the opposite, you know what's mine is yours.

That's not true, Paca.

I have nothing.

-[♪ music concludes] -[knocking on door]

May I come in?

Sorry, but I can't see you without an appointment.

Well, I came to invite you to dinner, but if there aren't any appointments…

No, no, no. Wait, wait, we might be able to make an exception.

[both laugh]

-Hi. -Hi, gorgeous.

I've been thinking about going to El Acebuche on my own and…

I don't see it.

I can't imagine my life without you under the same roof.

I'm really glad

because it was going to be really hard for me.

But I have to ask you something.

Take care of me.

Aren't I already?

I want you to try and spend more time with me,

and to work the absolute minimum.

I'm going to need you during this pregnancy.

Come here.

[♪ cheerful instrumental music playing]

What are you doing? [chuckles]

What do you think?

Someone might come in.

Let them see how much we love each other.

-[both laugh] -[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

Wouldn't you rather go home?

-Mm. -No.

No, because it's too far.

It'd take us too long,

and I don't know if I can wait.

Shall I ask Gladys to prepare dinner in the garden?

-[♪ music concludes] -No, thanks.

I think I'll sleep at Las Sabinas tonight.

As you wish. But I believe you are mixing things up.

God bless love.

She's unraveling little by little.

And she said she didn't care about the land.

As it turns out, she's quite interested in keeping her share of Las Sabinas.

Were you arguing about that?

Her excuse is that it's for Gracia.

But we both know her daughter was giving it to her.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

I have something you might be interested in.

I've just talked to the PI.

And?

It seems that her birth certificate,

the one that says Laura was born here, in Manterana, is fake.

I don't understand.

The dates don't match.

It seems they registered Laura when she was three months old,

but by then,

she couldn't have been born here, in Manterana.

Why?

Because her parents had been living in Buenos Aires for a while.

The PI checked their visas and the return date to Spain.

Why were they in Buenos Aires?

[♪ music intensifying]

-I don't know. -And why did they lie?

I don't know that either. But that must be the key, right?
