Come on!

Show some spirit.

You must have envisioned this moment
many times, boss.

Returning to the place
that was once your home.

My home is where opportunities
and business ventures are,

and I hope to soon finish the business
that has brought me here.

Well, my friend, the die is cast, huh?

Let's hope things are quiet here, boss.

God only knows what we'll find.

Can I help you, sir?

I have business to discuss
with Mr. Senén Blanco.

- Regarding?
- That's a matter for me and the notary.

According to these documents,
you are now the owner of real estate

consisting of "a house,
vineyard, and winery

"acquired from
Mr. Gustavo Zayas Montalvo."

Who, in turn, inherited them
from Mr. Luis Montalvo.

If everything is in order,

I'd like to go and take possession
of my new properties.

I trust there are no impediments.

No, no.

A will made in Havana
officially puts everything on record.

And anything that is signed in Cuba
is immediately effective in Spain.

What's the problem, then?

This is the house.

Looks like we're going to have
to give it a polish, boss.

Hello. You must be Carmen.

Yes, ma'am.

Your aunts hired me when you wrote to them
for help with the housekeeping.

Thank you. Have we met?

Yes. I mean, maybe you don't remember me,

but my family
has always served the Montalvos.

You must've seen me
running around the house as a child.

I'm one of Bernarda's daughters.

- Carmencita?
- Yes.

My aunts couldn't have made
a better choice.

- I'm so glad you're with us.
- Thank you very much.

How did it come to this?
How is it so neglected?

It's been a long time
since anyone has looked after it.

I thought my cousin Gustavo would be here.

I don't really know about that.

I mean, maybe he came recently
and I didn't hear.

Do you know who that is?

Angulo, the notary's clerk.

And him?

I don't know.

Let's talk to Senén, the notary.

- Maybe he can help me.
- Let's go.

This gentleman is the new owner?

It can't be.

My cousin Gustavo is the rightful owner.

I'm sorry to inform you, ma'am,
that things have changed.

The house, the vineyard and the winery

have legally changed hands.

They no longer belong to your family.

Was it my cousin Gustavo
who made the transaction,

- after inheriting it from my cousin Luis?
- That's right.

The property now belongs
to Mr. Mauro Larrea,

a Spanish citizen residing in Mexico.

And it's perfectly legal?

Absolutely, ma'am.

Everything is officially certified
by a Havana notary

whose integrity I have no doubt about.

For how much money
did he buy the property?

Maybe we can still
come to an agreement with him.

He did not acquire them by purchase.

It was a gift.

A gift?

He received nothing in return?

I don't understand.

I could have expected anything
from my cousin Luis, but from Gustavo...

It's impossible.

Fatou, my friend, I want to thank you

for putting me up
for these first few days.

By all means.

Don Julián Calafat's friends
are always welcome in my house.

You can stay as long as you need to.

But tell me, Larrea,

is everything in order with regard
to the matters that bring you to Jerez?

Well, so far...

I haven't seen either the winery
or the vineyards,

only the house, which is in a sorry state.

I could have told you that.

But I didn't because
I didn't want to look like a pessimist.

In any case,
tomorrow I'm going to get a broker

to sell everything as soon as possible.

Then I deduce
that you haven't even remotely

thought about going into business
for yourself.

I'm afraid that, for now,

I'll have to return to Mexico
to attend to urgent matters.

Although, in truth, between us,

in confidence...

What the hell am I going to do
with wineries and vineyards?

I understand.

It's a shame, though.

I think you're not aware

that you're sitting on a goldmine.

I see I've interested you.

If ever there were two words
that might have caught my attention,

it's precisely those.

I'm all ears.

THE NATIONAL
DON JUAN PRIM Y PRATS

This is the club
that houses the great estates.

Titans who trade their sherry
all over the world.

Garvey, Domecq,
González, Gordon, Williams...

Many of them sound like foreigners.

Yes. They call them the "Sherry Royalty."

The Royalty of Sherry.

And among them are some who, like you,

have returned from the Americas.

What scale of business
are we talking about?

About one-fifth of the total volume
of Spanish exports.

Spearheading the national economy.

And no business is lost to middlemen?

No, no, no, no, no.

For a few years now,
the whole process has been run from here.

The vine is grown here,

the wine is aged here,

and it is exported abroad from here.

So the winemaker is the one
who practically does everything.

He harvests, stores and exports.

That is exactly
what old Don Matías Montalvo used to do.

His properties are now in your possession.

It's a shame that you don't want to revive
a business that was once so prosperous.

My dear friend,
my business is on another continent.

But in any case, let's drink to this.

Let's.

To liquid gold.

To liquid gold.

Come on, boys!

Don Mauro, I would like to introduce you
to Don Amador Zarco,

an expert in property valuation
and transactions of estates and farms

in the entire Jerez region.

Here are the details
of all your new properties.

The vineyards, the farmhouses...

TOTAL VALUE OF GOODS - 46.483 PESETAS

...the winery located in Muro Street,
a house in Tornería Street...

Is this the value of the property?

Indeed. And I assure you
that my calculations are very thorough.

As you can see, it's a lot of money.

Although, Mr. Larrea, there is one issue

that affects the subsequent proceedings
to a certain extent.

Do tell.

It's something we noticed when reviewing
the last will of Don Matías Montalvo.

It is a hereditary clause
laid down by the patriarch

regarding the indivisibility
of the family's real estate.

Be clear, please.

Twenty years.

Twenty years what?

By an irrevocable decision
of the deceased, it is established

that 20 years must pass from his death

until his estate
can be dismantled and sold.

And when will that be completed?

In 11 and a half months.

That's almost a year.

This is how Don Matías

tried to guarantee
that everything he built up with his labor

would not fall apart
between different owners.

But nobody will ever buy
everything together.

The price would scare off
any potential buyer.

That's the point of it.

How much is your commission?

Ten percent is usual.

I'll give you 15
if you sell it within a month.

That will be very difficult, sir.

Carmen, where is the master?
He's not in his room.

The master left a moment ago.

- With Palmer?
- No. He was alone.

He was saying strange things.

That he wanted to see
some gardens or something.

And that...

- That...
- What?

That the weather in London was always bad

and that we had to enjoy
when the sun was out.

What?

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

Get out of the way, madman!

Watch out!

What is that man doing?

Are you okay?

Tell me where you live
and I'll take you home.

Carmen...

Ma'am, don't worry,

I won't say a word about what happened.

Thank you.

I'd love to know who saved my husband
from being run over.

What's up, Santos Huesos?
Did you like the gazpacho?

I feel it's a little bland.

The food here needs some spice.

No, it's you who needs some spice, buddy.

You look like a lost soul. What's wrong?

What can I say, boss?

I can't stop thinking about Trinidad.

I think I gave up too easily.

I just want to finish up here quickly
so we can cross the ocean again.

I need to see her again.

We'll try to arrange that
as soon as possible.

Besides, you'll want to hear
from Marianita and Nicolás, won't you?

Of course.
I think about them all the time.

Don't worry, we'll be back
before the debt expires.

But now I need you to go out
and find everything you need

to furnish at least two rooms
in the new house.

I don't want to interfere, Don Mauro,
but are you sure about us living there?

Well, now, stop being so particular.

You look like an old maid
on her way to mass. Cheer up!

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners...

There's someone asking for you, Mother.

She says she's your sister Soledad.

She just returned from England
and wants to see you.

What should I tell her?

She'd rather not see you, ma'am.
Go with God.

I see.

If she changes her mind,
can you tell her we live in Cabildo Plaza?

I'll let her know.

Thank you.

Shrimp! We have shrimp!

Listen, Santos Huesos,

the first thing I'll do
when we get back to America

is go to San Miguel to find your father
and ask him for your hand, my friend.

But I'm in love with Trinidad, boss.

It was just a matter
of handing out a few coins here and there.

Shall we take the luggage up, then?

No, let's leave it on the doorstep

so everyone can see it
and think we're well-equipped.

Nobody has to know
that this is all we have.

I'm going to have to carry it up anyway,
whether it's now or later.

Go on, then.

Make way, make way!

God be with you.

We've been waiting
for the young master for a few days.

We heard that you had taken over
Don Matías' property,

and here we are at your service.

We can show you the inside of the winery
and anything you wish to know.

You have worked here before?

I was the house barrel man for 36 years.

And my relative here, a few more.

Very well. Here are the keys.

No need.

You just need to push.

This is where the desks for the accounts
and correspondence were kept.

But everything was swept away years ago.

Over here is the meeting room
for visitors and business.

And there in the back was the cooperage.

So, what do you think?

I don't know if I'm in a wine cellar
or a cathedral.

- Ma'am?
- Carmen.

I need to ask you a favor.

But it requires your utmost discretion.

What's the matter?
Don't you like the dancing?

Honestly, I don't care.

I smell heartache here.
Was she very pretty?

What can I say?

To me, the prettiest mulatto
in all of Cuba.

I see. And how come
you left her there all alone?

It wasn't my decision.

Besides, I had to flee with my boss.

Why was that? You ran away?

Trouble with the law?

No. I don't want to talk about it.

You're the one who lives with the emigrant
in the old Montalvo house, right?

If you're talking
about the one in Tornería Street

where all the crumbling walls
are about to fall down, yes,

that's us.

How did he end up
getting those properties here in Jerez?

And why are you being so inquisitive?

Well, I used to work in that house
with the old owners when I was a girl.

I wanted to know what had become of them.
They were always very nice to me.

Don Gustavo is fine.

Nothing bad has happened to him.

That's good to hear.
Thanks to Our Lady of Mercy.

I thought that,
since he had inherited the house...

Don Mauro inherited nothing.

He won that house with his skills.

What kind of skills?
If it turns out that he cheated...

My boss is no cheat.

That wager was legitimate, it was legal.

A wager? What kind of wager?

You sure are asking
a lot of questions! Aren't you?

Do you think my tongue is as loose
as the legs of that dancer there?

I'd better go.

Madam, I did as you told me
and sought out the emigrant's servant.

And?

He told me that your cousin Don Gustavo
is alive and well.

So you can rest easy on that matter.

What about the properties?

He wasn't so clear about that.

But he did mention
something about a wager.

Mr. Larrea.

My name is Sol Claydon.

Although, for part of my life,

my name was Montalvo
and I lived in this house.

I see.

I understand you've returned from America.

You were well-informed.

And that my cousin Gustavo Zayas
transferred the properties to you.

That's right. It was through him.

For a reasonable price?

Let's just say it was an advantageous
transaction for my interests.

I'm sorry for all the questions.

This situation has me very puzzled.

We recently completed all the formalities.

Everything is in line with the law.

If you have any doubts,

you can go and check
at Mr. Senén Blanco's notary office.

I already have. Naturally.

I just wanted to let you know

that I'll be talking to a lawyer
to review the whole procedure.

That's entirely within your rights.

It may interest you to know
that I don't intend to keep the estate.

I'm just passing through Spain.

I've come to arrange for its sale
and then to leave.

I see.

I think I should stop taking up your time.

If you wish to tour the house,
feel free to do so.

Take as much time as you like.

It's strange, I never thought that...

That a stranger would give me permission
to visit what was always part of my life.

These are strange times.

Excuse me.

Why all the brooding, boss?

Something has got into you,
and I don't think it's breakfast.

That woman won't accept
this new situation that easily.

And I don't think it's going to be easy

to sell all this
as quickly as we thought, either.

People like us never get anything easy.

TO MR. MAURO LARREA

Carmen, I need you
to deliver this letter, please.

Of course. I'll take care of it.

And tell Hudson
to prepare dinner for three.

We may have a guest tonight.

Of course.

Carmen!

I need you to go get Dr. Ysasi.

Tell him it's urgent.

I'm going. I'm going.

Sol.

You look beautiful!

Manuelillo.

It's so good to see you.

What has happened?

The maid said it was urgent.

I hope I can still count
on your friendship and your love.

Yes, of course!

I need to ask for your help.

But especially your discretion.

I don't know what I can tell you
that you don't already know.

So you're confirming the diagnosis
they made in London?

I'm not a specialist
in this kind of disorder, but...

But I'd say so.

I don't have much reason to hope.

I'm afraid not.

Edward isn't in possession
of his wits right now.

But he owns the business,

and if word gets out
that he has lost his mind...

we will lose all the contracts we have.

I see you've inherited your grandfather's
cold-bloodedness for business.

It's not cold blood.

I'm just thinking about my family.

Sol, I will do everything in my power
to alleviate this situation.

But the attacks are going to be
more and more frequent.

We have a guest for dinner tonight.

Manuelillo...

Will you stay for dinner? Please.

Of course.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Thank you for accepting
my invitation, Mr. Larrea.

It's my pleasure, Mrs. Claydon.

Allow me to introduce my friend,
Dr. Manuel Ysasi.

And excuse my husband.
Because of some unavoidable commitments,

he won't be able to join us tonight.

This oxtail is unbeatable.

Not to mention this...

oloroso?

Are you still in your family's business?

No.

We are no longer winegrowers,

but we do sell the wines
that others produce.

That's how Sol met Edward,

in one of his business dealings
with La Templanza.

Speaking of La Templanza...
Forgive me for being blunt, Mr. Larrea...

But since you plan to sell it,

I wanted to ask you
to consider me as your first preference.

Dr. Ysasi is a friend of many years,

we are in each other's confidence.

Perfect.

I'd be willing to sell you the property
for 30,000 pesetas.

You mean the house?

I mean the entire estate.

May I ask why that figure?

It's an amount that would give
me and my children peace of mind.

However,

I would need the transaction
to be made as soon as possible.

I see.

It would be difficult for me
to get that kind of money at the moment.

It was you who saved my husband?

It was nothing.

Thank you so much.

Mauro, why don't you let me
show you La Templanza?

What do you think?

I never imagined that my family's estate
would end up in the hands of a man

who wanted to sell it all.

Well...

He doesn't seem like a bad guy.

He saved Edward's life.

Bad news?

The worst.

Come on.

What do you think?

It's a shame no one's taken care of them
all these years.

You should have seen them
when they were well taken care of.

The soil in this region is very peculiar.

White and porous.

Albariza. It retains moisture
extraordinarily well,

storing winter rain for later,
drier seasons.

It is one of the fundamental elements
that make our wines

one of the most famous in the world.

Are you okay?

Yes.

And the grape, palomino,
which withstands drought very well.

It came from Flanders
in the mid-16th century...

Is there a problem with your husband?

Has he had another attack?

Because I wanted to tell you that I
would never make his condition public.

It's not my husband, it's his son.

Some time ago,
to protect my husband's business,

I made some transactions

and signed some documents
with my cousin's name.

But that's illegal.

I know.

But I had no choice.

So what has happened now?

A lawyer is coming from London
to see my cousin Luis.

And he will discover
that the current state of your cousin,

dead and buried in Havana,

is not the ideal state
to be signing contracts

or selling shares.

It's my husband's son
who's sending the lawyer.

He's been trying to destroy me
ever since he met me.

I don't see how you can explain
what you've done.

I don't either.

Sorry, I don't know
why I'm telling all this to a stranger.

Thank you.

Mr. Larrea, what are you doing here?

Here's your cousin Luis'
death certificate,

his residence card,
and the burial certificate.

All these documents were
personally handed over to me

by your cousin Gustavo Zayas

so that the veracity of the transfer
of property could be proven.

Why did you bring them to me?

I'm sorry, I can't deal with this
right now, the lawyer is here.

In that case,

I couldn't have come at a better time.

Here are the gentlemen
I was telling you about.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Gentlemen, my name is Luis Zayas.

I understand you need to talk to me.

I'm Jonathan Wells,
and this is my secretary.

Mr. Wells is an attorney and is here
representing my stepson, Alan Claydon.

So you're Mrs. Claydon's cousin?

Indeed.

And, for the record, let me...

Here's my residence card,
so that there's no misunderstanding

and my identity is clear
for all intents and purposes.

Very well.

I'm at your complete disposal.

I can't find the words to thank you
for what you've done for me.

Hopefully they'll leave you alone
from now on.

There's a lot left for me to accomplish.

This was only one battle
in the great war against my husband's son.

Then allow me to offer myself as your ally

whenever you need it.

Thank you.

I, in turn, would like
to do something for you, Mauro.

Let me help you sell La Templanza.

To get the best possible price.

You'd do that?

That land runs in my blood.

I've neglected it long enough.

Boss.

Mrs. Claydon's maid is here.

She wants you to go to her house
right away, it's very urgent.

Mauro, thanks for coming.

In her delirium,
she keeps repeating your name.

Who are you taking about?

A woman who came here
and claims to know you.

She's not making any sense.
She's mentioned your name several times.

- My name?
- Yes.

Unrelated, meaningless phrases.
And something about a wager.

Do you know her?

Mauro Larrea...
