Original subtitles

Wilson will stay to lend you a hand until you feel better.

PREVIOUSLY

If your daughters end up selling their shares of the land

and you keep yours, you might not need as many workers.

I'm afraid I have to let you go.

I need to sell my share of Las Sabinas.

That land is Mom's legacy. It has to stay in the family.

I'll bring back to its former glory.

If you won't leave Miguel to spare him from jail,

do it to prevent your lives from becoming a living hell.

I'm not in love with Esther.

This was our relationship before today.

This is what you did to it.

My mom used to date your dad.

No way. Really?

- Yes. - Yes.

You deserve to be happy.

I've loved you every day for 20 years, without evening realizing.

I'm sorry, but I don't love you like that.

I let you toy with me like an idiot.

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

-

- Hey. Where do you think you're going? - I'm getting one last drink.

Let's go home. You're making a fool of yourself.

Leave me alone!

The owner called me to come and get you, Miguel.

There are two morons in there in need of a punch!

- The cherry on top. - Leave me alone.

Do you want to fight some assholes in there?

- I said leave me alone. - What's your problem, huh?

What the hell is your problem? Goddammit!

Do you want to get beaten to a pulp? Are you stupid?

I can do it myself if you want. Keep it in the family.

Let's go home, Miguel. Please.

I'll go because you asked, but they're still in need of a punch!

All right, very good. Let's go. Come on. Let's go.

What the hell is going on?

I just went out for a drink. What's wrong with that?

A drink, and then another.

Are you counting them now? I'm a grown man, for Christ's sake.

Then you should know when to stop, no?

What are you doing? Give me your keys.

Give me the goddamn keys.

But, what...

For God's sake, Miguel.

Come on. Are you okay? Are you hurt?

No, man. Give me my keys. I want to go home.

I'm not giving you your keys.

I won't let you drive in this state, okay?

Are you going to drive to El Acebuche?

What about Esther? What will you tell her?

I don't know.

Here.

Thank you.

Drink this, take a cold shower and go sleep it off.

Tomorrow, you'll have a crazy hangover.

Oh! It's you two.

You scared me.

I heard voices, and...

But what are you doing here?

Mm, nothing. Just having a cup of coffee.

I thought you were sleeping, Mom.

Yes, I was.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing. Something I ate.

What are you doing, sweetheart? This isn't you.

You were right, Mom.

Gracia toyed with me again.

What? What is he talking about?

- He didn't tell you, did he? - No.

He allowed that woman to mess with him again.

He almost left Esther for her.

Esther doesn't know.

That's a blessing. You dodged a bullet.

Oh...

Yes, Gracia.

Are you busy? Can you spare five minutes?

What's the matter?

I wanted to apologize for the other day.

I behaved inappropriately.

Please understand, I'm stressed about my father and I'm not myself right now.

Right. Don't worry about it.

I accept your apology. Thank you for calling.

No, wait, wait. There's something else I want to say.

The thing is...

Antón left me. I need the job.

I don't know if you've found someone, but I would love to come back.

Or I can start from the bottom, regain your trust with small clients.

Are you there?

Yes, but I don't know what to say.

Say that I got the job. It would mean so much to me.

I have to pay my father's caretaker and support my children alone.

I promise I won't let you down.

You already did, Gracia. I'm sorry.

Come on, Fabián. Don't do this.

I'm not doing anything.

Let's be clear. You did this to yourself.

We all have issues, but I have to consider the firm's best interests.

Can I ask for a recommendation?

Or some references to take to another company?

Honestly, what I have to say about you won't open many doors.

Good luck.

Good morning.

Sit down.

I've finished already.

Where did you spend the night?

At my mom's.

We need to talk.

I know I was out of line at dinner.

I shouldn't have put you on the spot. I'm sorry.

I'm the one who should apologize.

My behavior lately has been unforgivable.

I haven't been the man you deserve.

That's why...

I don't think we should go ahead with the wedding.

You're in love with her, aren't you?

- This is not about Gracia. - Isn't it? You're leaving me for her.

She's not in my life anymore. We're over.

- Then why? - That's not the issue.

I can't marry you after what I did.

We can try. Isn't our relationship worth fighting for?

You're not telling me the truth.

If you're leaving me for her, at least tell me to my face.

It's not that.

What's the problem then? I don't understand.

You said it yourself.

I failed you.

We could try to fix it...

but it will never be the same.

I'll go get my things.

When you're back from work, I'll be gone.

Good morning, princess.

Why did you let me sleep so late?

Núñez gave you time off.

What better way is there to spend it than in bed?

In bed sleeping, or...

Just in bed, in general.

Oh...

Wow, what's the occasion?

It's an important day for you. I wanted to do something special.

Aren't you eating?

No. I had breakfast a while ago.

I don't have your superpower. I can't sleep in that long.

I really needed to rest.

That's great.

What's the event about?

"The event."

Well, whatever you call it.

I know that, since your dad died,

you do something on his birthday. But you didn't tell me what it is.

Don't worry, you'll find out.

Don't be impatient, hmm?

What time are we meeting your mother?

Don't worry, we have time.

Time? For what?

To enjoy the bed...

...in general.

Okay.

Do I have to go?

Of course. You know your aunt will love it.

But I don't even remember Uncle Mauricio.

But you remember Aunt Nati, right?

And Manuela? Then do it for them.

Same as every year?

That's right.

It's become a sort of ritual.

Well, at least we are doing something as a family.

Other families take trips to New York.

And you're in a family that celebrates the birthdays of deceased great-uncles.

"Deceased." How gruesome.

Hey, don't make those kinds of jokes.

No, I'm not joking.

He died putting out a fire, right?

Yes. And it was tragic for everyone.

- Especially for Aunt Nati. - And Manuela.

By the way, where is my father?

If you don't know... He hasn't called me.

Maybe he went directly to Pradera de las Navas, right?

Uh, yeah. Probably.

He wouldn't miss it for the world.

I never meant for things to turn out like this.

But I couldn't-- I didn't know how to prevent it.

I've hurt you and, most of all, Esther.

It's unforgivable, but I want you to know I'm truly sorry.

Very well. You've given me your little atonement speech.

Do you feel better now? If you don't mind, I'm busy.

I'm not done.

I'm quitting as well.

I'm grateful...

for all you've done for me. But given the situation,

it would be awkward if I still worked here.

Awkward for you or for me?

For both of us. And also for Esther.

You've been a pig to her.

Let's speak clearly.

Is it true you broke up with Gracia?

To be precise, she broke up with me.

Then it's right that you should cancel the wedding.

My daughter shouldn't be second choice to anyone.

But professional matters are different from personal.

You're key here.

It's not convenient to lose you.

I'll find someone to replace me.

That's not the point.

You started working at El Acebuche before dating Esther.

I can keep them separate.

And I hope you can too.

Thank you, but I don't know if I'll be able to.

Your call.

But this isn't just about you.

Think of all the families that need you to keep your job.

The workers.

Will you turn your back on them?

You're finally here.

- Were you looking for me? - I've been working alone for over an hour.

I cleared the area next to the big rock.

Couldn't they help you?

They're working. I got rid of the weeds over there.

There were a lot. Now, I'm doing it here.

No one did anything here.

And now we will plant some seeds.

Oh. Which seeds?

I haven't decided, but we need to get rid of the weeds, air the soil,

level it and fertilize it.

- Will you take over? - You're leaving?

Yes, I'm leaving. I've got things to do.

The property is small. You can do it by yourself.

Right. But I have things to do, too.

Really? Like what?

I have to go to town and get some groceries for my mother.

Richi, don't make things up. The pantry was full this morning.

Honestly, she needs a few things.

And I need you to prepare the soil.

This area was uncultivated for years. A day won't change anything.

Listen, Richi. Um, let me explain.

I'm staying here to take over Las Sabinas.

I'm the one calling the shots now. Not your mom or my dad.

Understood?

Okay.

We all want the best for Las Sabinas. Our future depends on it.

If we want to bring this land back, we need to work very hard.

Can I count on you?

Yes. Yes, of course. I depend on this land too.

I'm glad. Because, to remain here, you'll need to start pulling your weight.

Stop being so mysterious. Tell me.

Let's wait for your sister. This affects the three of us.

Julia! What are you doing?

I'm coming. No need to be so impatient.

Sit, go on.

What's wrong?

Did something happen to grandpa?

No. Grandpa is fine. He's taking a walk with Wilson.

You won't like this, and neither do I, but we have no choice.

Will you tell us already?

I know I said we were leaving, but we need to stay a while.

A while? How long?

Until the end of the school year at least.

- What? - Why?

You want us to stay in Manterana and go to that school for bumpkins?

Don't act like a snob. They're not bumpkins.

Aren't they?

You'll make new friends, you'll see.

We want our old friends, not new ones. You promised.

I promised I would try, and I did. But it wasn't possible.

So, what happened?

I meant to sell my share of Las Sabinas, but Grandpa and Paloma need it.

Why?

I nearly sold it to someone untrustworthy.

Then find another buyer.

There must be a way.

It's not that easy. And we can't return to Madrid without any money.

When things get better, we'll go back. But right now we can't.

It's unfair. Don't we get a vote?

I'm sorry, but no.

With no job and no money, we can't go back.

We will, when things get better. But right now, we can't.

Why make promises you can't keep?

Lucas.

My mom took this picture almost 20 years ago.

This was a very special place for him.

You can tell by his smile that he'd just gotten his tax refund.

Well, that, and also he loved this place.

He used to say these views were unrivaled.

Thank you, all of you, for coming.

I would tell you that Mauricio is happy to see you together,

but Manuela doesn't want me telling people I speak to him.

Mauricio was a very special man, you know that.

On his birthday, he would rather give others presents.

He said the gift-giver had the greatest joy.

He started that tradition.

He would write his favorite things about the people he loved.

Every year, he thanked them for being them.

That's what we'll do today in his memory.

Every year, on his birthday.

We all choose a person to say some words about.

Who wants to start?

Shall we wait for my dad?

Mauricio was a very punctual man.

Let's start, and he can join us later. Mm?

I can start, if you'd like.

I want to start by saying thank you to my dad.

Thanks to him, we have this beautiful tradition.

We don't spend a lot of time together, and...

I would like, from time to time,

for us to all come together.

Dad...

I miss you.

I wish you were here...

so you could meet Daniel.

I think you would like him.

He gets me. He's endlessly patient with me.

He always knows how to cheer me up during the hardest of times.

For all of these reasons, and so many more...

thank you, Dani. I love you.

CLOSED FOR FAMILY EVENT

Your turn, sweetheart.

I didn't get to know Uncle Mauricio. He died when I was a baby.

But I've learned he was very special from hearing you all talk about him.

I do know my Uncle Tano.

I want to talk about him.

You make me smile every time I see you.

I can't think of a single day where you haven't been in a good mood.

For that, and other things, you're a role model to me.

I love you lots, Uncle.

And I you.

And I you.

Tano. Since you're there.

Yes. Okay.

First, I'm grateful for the words of my beautiful niece.

Uh... I will never forget all that Mauricio did for us.

For my brother and me. Never.

He was always like...

like the father we never had.

He was there for real. It wasn't just talk.

He was always there when we needed him. He was. Always.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Well, I want to talk about...

Nati, my soul sister.

It's true that sometimes I lose patience with you,

with your eccentricities, but...

...I know you'll forgive me because you love me.

And you know I love you, too.

Thank you, Nati,

for showing me a different side of life.

A side that's... more interesting,

more beautiful and brighter.

You're the beautiful one.

I'm sorry. I'm late.

But I'm here.

What did I miss?

Can anyone give me a summary?

It was my turn to say thank you and I was going to talk about you,

but I'd rather tell you alone.

But, why?

The tradition is to speak in front of everyone.

Yes. And the tradition is also not being drunk.

Dad, stop it. You're making a fool of yourself.

How come? We're just having a nice moment as a family.

Honey, don't leave.

Lucía!

Lucía, honey.

Hey, Paloma.

Trini, did my father ever commission an ecological feasibility study?

Your dad doesn't discuss those things with me, but I doubt it.

Right, it's just...

I'm checking the price of adopting ecological farming.

It's less than I expected.

Right.

- Do you have a minute? - Yes.

I wanted to discuss Wilson.

Sure, what is it?

I'm not sure he's the right person to help your dad.

How come?

I don't think that Wilson's methods will work.

Be patient. He's just started.

I've seen things I didn't like.

What do you mean?

He's very demanding, he has no patience.

He's not respectful or caring,

considering what your father went through.

I don't know what to say. This is shocking.

I can't fire a worker without good cause.

Right. I just felt I had to tell you.

What if you hired someone else?

Where would we find them?

Out of everyone Esther recommended, Wilson's résumé was the best.

I don't know. We'll find someone.

In the meantime, I can do the job.

Thank you, Trini, but you have enough work.

Caring for him is a full-time job. We need you to continue with your duties.

That doesn't matter. Don't you agree?

He needs to be treated with respect and care.

- All right. - Yes?

I'll talk to him.

Thank you.

I'll leave you alone.

- Hello. - Are you heading to work?

I have to.

Why don't you take some time off?

No way. My waiting list is full.

To take care of others, you need to take care of yourself first.

This is a small town. I heard about Miguel.

You need to take your mind off things.

Didn't you have a friend in Berlin? What was her name?

- Iris. - Iris.

It's a good time to go see Iris, don't you think?

Honestly, it's a great idea.

But I'm swamped. It will be good to focus on the practice.

It's probably none of my business,

but this is best thing that could have happened to you.

He doesn't deserve you.

It must be very awkward for you,

having to cancel the wedding, call all the guests.

I'm here if you need me.

Thank you.

The truth is, I haven't canceled anything yet.

I don't know, I...

I still hope he'll come back and...

and apologize.

And the worst part?

I'm such an idiot I would forgive him.

I'm sorry, Tomás. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Why were you talking to my daughter?

I just said I'm sorry about Miguel.

Yeah, right.

Watch out. Esther is not Carla Egea.

I know that.

I'm reminding you, just in case.

Where is this coming from?

I've known Esther for years. I'm fond of her, that's it.

If you want to help her, you should stay away.

Esther only cares about one man.

It will be a long time before that changes.

Lourdes, could you tell me again how you broke your radius?

Um, I slipped and fell on the front steps.

I also got hurt here.

Then you should have injured your wrists too.

When you tried to break the fall.

I mean, the forearm gets injured

when someone tries to defend themselves like this. See?

They're called defensive wounds.

What can I say, Doctor? It all happened very fast, and I...

I'm very clumsy.

Six months ago you broke two ribs in another accident at home.

A closet fell on you.

Back to the accident. Um...

- Were you alone when it happened? - Yes.

Who drove you to the hospital?

Fidel, my husband.

He arrived five minutes later.

And the last time?

I don't remember.

Look, Lourdes. The thing is... Um...

Your injuries are very typical.

Doctors are required to report them.

At the ER, where they treated you, they usually don't have enough time,

so I'm the one who has to ask.

Are you suffering from abuse?

No. No way. I swear.

We can help you. You're not alone.

No, no. Really.

Fidel is a good man.

We don't have any issues.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Please, drop it

and give me something for the pain. That's why I'm here.

Right.

Take one with breakfast,

one with lunch and one with dinner.

Okay.

Thank you.

Lourdes, wait.

This is my personal number.

Call me if you need anything. Any time.

See you later.

Wait, I need to speak to you.

Right now? I'm meeting people.

Esther and I are separating.

What do you mean?

I know this won't be easy for anyone, but...

we believe it's best for both of us.

I told her we would leave El Acebuche before the end of the day.

And the wedding?

There is no wedding.

Pack what you can in a suitcase,

we'll fetch the rest when we get our own place.

- Where are we going? - Grandma's, for now.

I don't understand. What happened?

Is it related to that dinner with the Molinas?

I told you. We realized we aren't right for each other.

That's not true.

You love each other. You don't stop loving someone,

just like that, overnight.

We can discuss this later.

Go pack a suitcase.

I won't pack a suitcase. I won't--

Don't make this any more difficult for me, Lucía.

I'm making it difficult for you?

For you?

Do you know how ashamed I was at the meadow?

Poor Manuela and poor Aunt Nati.

The one time we all get together, and you ruined it.

I know it's no excuse, but I was having a hard time.

I didn't know how to tell you, so I drank.

Your relationship with Esther is your business. I'm not going.

Don't be silly.

You think it's silly to not want to unravel my life overnight?

"Best for both of us." Right.

What about me? Does anyone care about what's best for me?

I'm sorry, but I won't leave my home.

What? Are you done?

I went hard. There's only a bit left.

You don't have to finish it today.

So many rocks. I filled up the wheelbarrow twice.

You're so dramatic.

Maybe not all the way, but I filled them up twice.

Really. I worked nonstop.

Keep it up. We need to shape this place up.

Hey, don't mess around.

I know I'm ripped, and I might look like a plowing machine,

but I'm better at overseeing.

Yeah, tough luck. I'm your boss, so I'll do the overseeing.

You got me there. But acknowledge that I'm better-looking when I work.

You're better-looking when you shut up.

Come on. I'll go get some water with you

and help you out. We all work here.

- Hello. - Hello, Paloma.

Trini said you wanted to talk to me.

Oh, yes. You go ahead, Richi.

What happened to "We all work here"?

I'm shutting up. Okay.

I just wanted to know how it's going with my dad.

The therapy won't be easy or fast,

but if he works hard, he'll be able to move better.

Listen, Wilson. My dad can be very stubborn.

Will you be patient enough to deal with him?

I've seen worse.

But this job is not about making friends.

It's about helping people who really need it.

If I need to be hard on him to help him, I'm okay with that.

We did the right thing when we hired you.

Do you need anything else?

I'm going to the pharmacy, now that your dad is sleeping.

Nothing else, thank you.

Thank you.

I didn't take that long, did I?

See you.

Look, Dad.

Do you recognize this?

I might seem dumb, but I'm not. Mm.

These are the plans for Las Sabinas.

Short and long term. To adopt ecological farming.

Ecological farming is great if you can afford it.

Right. But look at the numbers. It's not that expensive, Dad.

And we might be able to get some EU subsidies.

I was looking for you two.

Uh...

I want to tell you something.

I thought about selling my share to Paca.

And... I won't.

Really?

So, what will you do?

If you agree, the children and I will stay here

until I find a job back in Madrid.

Of course we agree, Gracia.

- Tell her, Dad. - Of course, honey.

If you're sure that's what you want.

What do the kids think of staying?

I won't lie, they hate the idea.

They say I'm selfish, that I don't listen to them.

They'll just have to accept it. You can't afford to go back.

Right, they will deal with it.

But they're thinking about their friends, school...

There are things to do here, too. They need to go out and find them.

- Will you help me with farming? - Of course.

But I don't know if I'll be of any use. I don't know much about farming.

Well, Dad and I can do the farming part, but you know about business.

Advising companies is what I've always done.

Hard times are coming.

The farm will take months to be profitable.

We lack cash and manpower,

but we'll make it.

I'm not afraid of hard work.

What matters is whatever we start ends well.

Your mother used to say something about endings.

What? What did I say?

You mentioned Mom.

You never do.

Maybe this is a good day to start, no?

"If there isn't a happy ending,

that means it wasn't the end."

She would say that.

Hi.

I know you're having a hard time.

But what you did to Aunt Nati and Manuela was inexcusable.

And that bag?

Esther and I broke up. I left El Acebuche.

I thought you and Gracia were over.

That's right. But one thing doesn't take away from the other.

Did she kick you out?

I decided to leave.

It's the honest thing to do.

Fighting for this relationship would be honest.

Leaving through the back door just like that, is not.

I don't want to talk about it, Mom.

Talking to Lucía was enough.

And where is she?

She chose to stay at El Acebuche.

Well, that's just because she's angry.

You know she adores you.

She'll change her mind before you have time to unpack.

Say hi to your husband.

I won't sell my share of the Las Sabinas, and neither will my sister.

Good afternoon, huh?

You managed to keep me away from Miguel.

But you won't get your way with this.

Suit yourselves. That land loses value each year.

Right. And you would buy it as a favor?

I have enough resources to make it thrive. But you...

You can't imagine how much money you would need to invest in Las Sabinas.

We might not have the money, but we are willing to work hard.

We will give our all to that land.

The city girl is playing farmer.

Don't be so naive, child. You don't know how hard farming is.

I bet you won't even last a season.

- We'll see. - Or not.

Need I remind you why you broke up with Miguel?

I can still make that information public.

You know perfectly well you won't.

You got what you wanted. You got me away from Miguel.

But you won't cause your daughter more pain.

You know what?

I don't need your land anymore.

You don't want it.

Haven't you heard? I bought the Egeas' land.

Well, I'll leave you.

You must have so much to do at your place. Don't let me keep you.

It will be fun having you around.

Watching how you ruin what little your father has left.

Should I change it for something else?

No. It's not that.

Is Manuela coming?

No, why?

I wanted to apologize to the both of you.

I'm sorry, Auntie.

I never meant to ruin his birthday by showing up like that.

I get it, Miguel.

I understand what a break-up feels like.

And getting drunk, I've done that too.

Did my Mom tell you I'm not with Esther?

That's no excuse.

Family is the only thing I've got.

I failed you.

One bad day does not erase everything you've done for us.

Thank you.

I didn't get to say what I want to say about you earlier. May I?

Yes.

You're a generous, kind man, Miguel.

Those who know you know that you wouldn't hurt anyone.

You're good and honest.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, Auntie. I need to go.

He moved out, Mom.

His closet is empty.

Hello, darling.

Esther, I don't know what happened with my dad.

Or why he left, but I know him.

I know he'll be back.

That's why I'm staying.

Right. Of course.

Go and drop off your books. I'll call you down for dinner.

Miguel said he doesn't want to work here anymore.

I didn't accept his resignation.

But, if you want me to, I'll kick him out in a second.

There's no need.

Hi, this is Esther. Esther Ruiz.

I want to cancel the wedding reception.

Um, yes. No, it's not you guys, it's just...

We're not getting married.

Yes. The wedding is off.

Okay. Thank you.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

Be realistic, Mom.

He's gone.

I need to accept it and move on.

You deserve someone that'll make you happy.

Miguel made me happy.

It all seems bleak now because it's so recent.

But you'll find someone to make you forget about him.

You'll see.

You don't get it.

You've never loved anyone like I love Miguel.
