Original subtitles

Your mother was having an affair with Paca.

I lied to you and said that Mom was out looking for you.

PREVIOUSLY

She was looking for Paca?

You're a coward.

I will never forgive you, Dad. Never.

You did something terrible, Dad.

I pushed Gracia away with my lies and I left you in that youth facility.

All because I wasn't able to accept that your mother didn't love me anymore.

He had the courage to tell our secret in the end.

I understand what you were looking for with that kiss.

You were looking for what you lost the day my father found you at home.

We were chatting. I don't know what came over her, but… she kissed me.

[Paca] Find out who that witness is.

Find them and do whatever you need to make them disappear.

-There's too much between you and Miguel. -I know.

[Paca] You'll get the next one when you complete your task.

Paloma and Gracia are hating each other more and more each day. Emilio, too, soon.

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

[♪ melancholic music playing]

[♪ melancholic music fading]

Good morning.

You've gotten up pretty late today.

I haven't slept well.

What's wrong, Mom?

Is it because of the interrogation yesterday?

Then, what is it?

I need to tell you something.

Something I've never told anyone, not even you.

Something I've been keeping to myself my whole life.

And I was determined to continue doing so, but…

it's time for you to know about it.

You've asked me a few times, and I've always answered vaguely…

or lied.

After your father died, I had a relationship with someone.

And why did you hide it from me?

I would have liked to know. To meet him, even. I don't know.

You knew that person.

Did I?

That person was Laura.

Laura?

[♪ melancholic reflective music playing]

What do you mean? Laura?

Gracia and Paloma's mother.

No one knew.

[Paca] We would see each other in secret. We were so in love.

We wanted to be together no matter what.

But Laura felt guilty for cheating on Emilio.

And I… I just wanted to be with her.

I would push her into leaving him so we could go far away,

somewhere we wouldn't need to hide.

I would insist and tell her that,

that way, both she and her girls, and you and I, would be happy.

But Laura would refuse.

She would say that she didn't want to take Gracia and Paloma away from him.

And I suffered, Esther.

I suffered as much as I loved her.

-[♪ music concludes] -But, then…

when you married Dad, you didn't love him?

Of course I did.

My relationship with Laura happened after your father died.

I haven't been with anyone since then.

But, if you like women, how…?

No. I don't like women.

I fell in love with Laura. I wanted to be with her.

And that was it.

Did Emilio know?

Emilio found out.

And he got angry as hell.

I see now where that hate you have for each other comes from.

So…

the kiss Paloma said you gave her… Was that true?

Mm. Yes.

I lied to you.

I don't know what came over me. I got carried away, it was an impulse.

I'm not attracted to her or anything.

Why did you kiss her, then?

Paloma reminds me so much of her mother.

And I got confused.

I wasn't kissing her, but Laura.

It was a mistake. It was silly.

That's why I lied. I didn't want it to have any consequences.

Well, there were consequences, Mom.

I was afraid of what you'd think. I didn't want our relationship to change.

But you ruined my friendship with her without hesitation.

I haven't been fair to Paloma because I believed you, Mom.

I'm sorry. I was just thinking about us.

No. No. You were just thinking about yourself.

And why are you telling me now?

Paloma came to see me yesterday. She said that…

Emilio told her everything.

Her and Gracia.

So, you are telling me because you fear that I'll hear about it from someone else.

[Paca] Don't think that.

No? What do you want me to think?

That I am tired of hiding things from you. We are grown-ups.

I shouldn't have to hide things from you for you to love me.

[♪ reflective music playing]

What should I do now? Congratulate you?

I would've preferred if you told me without feeling forced to.

What were you afraid of? Did you fear that I'd judge you?

Don't you know me? I would never do such a thing.

It doesn't shock me that a woman loves another woman. Not even if she's my mom.

What century do you think I live in?

Not in the same one as me.

I thought you and I trusted each other.

But I was wrong.

[♪ music intensifying]

[♪ music fading]

Shall we take a five-minute break to freshen up?

[Paloma huffs]

Three minutes, all right? I want to get this done today.

Okay.

Come on.

You are exhausted.

[Paloma chuckles]

[María] It doesn't surprise me.

You take care of this land almost on your own.

I'm the only agronomist we have.

Well, agronomist… but also laborer, builder, harvester…

I'm not sure they know how important you are.

Why are you saying that?

I mean, Trini, for instance.

If your sister or your father asks her anything, she goes all out to do it.

However, if you ask her… At least, that's what it seems to me.

[laughs] Yes. The perks of being the little sister, right?

At the end of the day,

you're the last one on the list.

You can count on me for whatever you need.

Thanks.

It's good to know that I have a shoulder to cry on, if it comes to that.

Shall we?

"Shall we?" You said three minutes. It hasn't even been one.

Look at that. When it comes to talking about feelings, you shut down.

You know what? No, I refuse. Let's talk, friend to friend.

Tell me. What's going on with you?

Nothing. It's just family stuff. Things from the past. Nothing important.

Mm.

Well, María, I've realized that…

I still hold a grudge against my father and my sister

for having abandoned me in the youth facility.

That's understandable. Some things are not easy to forgive.

Right. But I thought I had gotten over it.

-And I want to. -Right.

But some scars last a lifetime.

Well, this one has lasted long enough.

I want us to be a close-knit family with no hard feelings.

It's the only way we can save both our family and Las Sabinas.

Where there's a will, there is a way. Although, everybody should be willing.

They don't make it easy for you.

But we should forgive.

It should be water under the bridge. They've suffered too.

They were both adults, though.

-[♪ reflective music playing] -Weren't they?

Your father neglected both of you. Your sister started over.

And you were left alone.

It bothers me.

They twist things and make you believe it was everybody's fault.

And it wasn't. I'm sorry, but it wasn't.

You were the only victim here.

I don't know what's going on now, it's your family, I don't want to be nosy,

but I will tell you this.

You are a really good person, Paloma. And they don't appreciate you enough.

[♪ reflective music concludes]

Hey, do you know how many square feet the center's floor is?

Yes, it was…

[sighs] I can't remember. Sorry, I'll need to double check that.

Yesterday, I reviewed the project with the architect. It must be here.

-That's okay. -No, no. It's not okay.

I couldn't have deleted it.

It's fine, really. We'll ask for it again.

Gosh, how can I be so clumsy?

[exhales] I can't take it anymore.

-Come on, it's just a document. -No.

How can I live with this, Tano?

[exhales] Tell me, what is it? Mm?

How can I do it?

[♪ melancholic reflective music playing]

[Gracia sobs] It was me, Miguel.

I killed her. My mother is dead because of me.

[sobs] Because you and I…

[Miguel] You and I, what?

[♪ music concludes]

I've been feeling guilty about my mother's death my whole life,

and it turns out that she wasn't looking for me that night.

I guess it is a relief.

My father's confession is too late.

I made decisions I should never have made.

Leaving Manterana, dumping Miguel,

hiding from him that I was pregnant with his child.

Now they have to get used to what I hid from them all those years.

-And I can't handle it. -They'll be fine.

It's not easy to process something like that.

I know I made a mistake.

But everything was so awful, you know?

Then, I come back a thousand years later, and Paca wants to make my life hell.

-[sighs] -Paca, why?

Well…

[♪ melancholic music playing]

Before he got married, Miguel and I…

started seeing each other again.

It was as though time had stopped for us.

We both still loved each other.

We were willing to resume our relationship.

But Paca prevented it.

I see. And how did she do that?

She told me to leave Miguel or…

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be telling you this. Sorry.

No. Don't worry. Don't worry.

You can do it whenever you want, however you want to.

[♪ music concludes]

Isn't it too much that my mom kept that a secret all these years?

I feel sorry for her. It must've been hard on her too.

Miguel, please, don't side with her.

She even said that falling in love with Laura doesn't mean she likes women.

-She thinks that I wouldn't understand. -Your mom is from a different time.

Shall I remind you how her family was?

-Why didn't she say anything until today? -Because she's that way.

What's important is that she's told you. Period.

[Esther] I don't know, Miguel.

Now, I understand many things that happened these past few years

that I didn't get until now.

[Miguel] Like what?

Well, that sad look in her eyes.

Lots of work, lots of power, lots of money, but…

she lost the love of her life.

She couldn't look for comfort in anybody, because no one could know it was Laura.

It's not the best way to deal with grief.

I don't know. Maybe it's my fault.

Your fault? Why?

Because she feared that I'd reject her if she told me the truth.

You'll never know that.

-She said it, Miguel. -Well, it's not true.

Had I realized or had I gotten her to open up…

[exhales] …things might have been different.

Don't say that, honey.

Your mother has always done what she wanted, whenever she wanted.

It's just that, when Paloma told me…

[exhales] I was so wrong.

Well.

Perhaps you should talk to Paloma.

No. She won't want to.

You can try.

Such an old friendship shouldn't end because your mom can't accept herself.

-[♪ calm music playing] -Thanks.

Why?

For being here, Miguel.

For truly being here.

[♪ music concludes]

What were you thinking?

Behind my back. Had I known, I would have told you it was a bad idea.

That's why I didn't tell you.

Don't you know Doña Paca? Don't you know what she's capable of?

Of course I do. That's why I wanted to protect us.

She always ends up knowing everything that happens in this town.

She'll find out soon that you've testified against her.

They were going to let you take the fall, so I talked to Manuela. I don't trust her.

Me neither. But that wasn't the solution.

They promised me your immunity for the reservoir poisoning.

Did you tell them that I paid Óscar to do it?

[♪ mysterious music playing]

Great.

Do you have that in writing?

No.

Who can guarantee that they'll keep their promise?

Guillermo, it's Núñez and Manuela.

All right. Let's say the Civil Guard keeps that promise and doesn't come after me.

How do you think Doña Paca will take that?

When this gets sorted out, and they see that I'm off the hook, they'll know.

Do you realize the position you've put us in?

We'll pay for it dearly when the boss finds out.

[Pilar] Guillermo.

[♪ music fading]

Did you know that Manuela and Núñez questioned Paca yesterday?

Yes, I heard.

You might have been right about the reservoir after all.

[Paloma] Hold on, Gracia.

Dad told me everything.

We should talk about it.

I see. After 20 years of keeping a secret, he's taken a liking to sharing now.

Dad made a mistake, but that can't be fixed now.

Mm.

We must try to leave the past behind. We are a family, Gracia.

It hurts, but you must forgive him if we want to live together.

Easy for you to say. He didn't make you feel guilty for Mom's death.

I'm so sorry, honey, but you have to understand--

Understand what, Dad? What?

That I found your mother, the only woman I have ever loved, in Paca's arms.

And then, before I could process that, she dies in an accident.

My world fell apart. It almost killed me, you know that.

[♪ soft mysterious music playing]

When I recovered, everything had changed too much.

You were in the city. I guessed that you had started over

and that you didn't think about what happened.

And, all of a sudden, I found myself here, alone.

You don't mean that because of me.

I didn't go to the youth facility voluntarily.

[Emilio] I know, but…

But what, Dad? It is very unfair that you mention that.

And that you belittle my suffering because I wasn't there that night

for Dad to blame me, but…

do you think I suffered less than you?

I just meant that…

all of a sudden, there was no one here!

Mom was dead, Gracia was in the city and you…

Gracia in the city, alone, because of you.

How can you be so selfish? Both of you.

You stayed in Las Sabinas, our home.

And soon after that, you started a family with Antón.

But I went to a youth facility. I was just 16 years old.

I had nothing to do with it and I paid for your actions.

If you'd stop being so self-absorbed,

you'd realize that you are not the only ones with the right to complain.

I'm the one who, after losing my mom when I was still basically a child,

was abandoned by her family.

By you both.

And here I am, like an idiot, trying to make us move on,

be a happy family and save Las Sabinas,

putting up with all the work that entails on my own.

You should be ashamed of yourselves. Both of you.

[♪ music concludes]

[♪ energetic pop rock music playing]

-[♪ music concludes] -[cicadas chittering]

Okay, okay. Stop, stop, stop, stop.

-What? Are you already dead? -Jesus.

We've been running for an hour.

I shouldn't go running with grandpas.

[Tano laughs]

-You are an asshole. A little break? -[Miguel laughs]

-[Miguel sighs] -[Tano] Ouch!

How is it going in El Acebuche?

Things are hectic.

I hope everything gets sorted out soon. Paca is more nervous than usual.

-Because she was questioned? -Yeah.

I read about it in San Luis' online newspaper.

You know the people in this town. They don't like her and…

all hell broke loose.

Right. Do you think that Paca has anything to do with it?

Paca? No way, Tano. Why would she need to do something like that?

[exhales]

I spoke to Gracia this morning.

And there is something you should know.

I appreciate it, but I don't want to know anything about Gracia.

She confided in me and told me some things that had to do with you.

It seems that, when she left you and went away from Manterana,

it was because she felt guilty for her mom's death.

I know that.

I tried to convince her that it wasn't her fault, but she wouldn't listen.

Her father made her believe that.

Her father?

She didn't want to specify, but it seems he has confessed that now.

Doesn't that make you think that things could have gone differently?

What do you mean?

Well… if Emilio hadn't blamed Gracia,

things between you two would have been different.

Gracia was already pregnant before she left, even if she didn't know.

And you were in love, right?

Then, for sure, today,

you would have been raising a family together.

Right.

-[♪ soft nostalgic music playing] -And would thinking that be useful?

The past is the past, Tano.

Sometimes, you think you'll never get over the things that happened in your life.

Then you realize they're the best things that could've happen to you.

I don't want to think about what could've been.

I want to focus on the present.

I have a wonderful wife. And I'm very happy.

And two kids.

And two kids.

The fact that Lucas is Gracia's son doesn't mean anything.

So? Shall we run up to the fountain? Or shall I pick you up in a wheelbarrow?

Hold on, hold on. I'm coming. I need my time.

[both laugh]

[♪ music intensifying and fading]

[♪ mysterious music playing]

[phone ringing]

I'm coming. I couldn't leave earlier, because…

I'll be with you in a sec. I'm right here.

-[♪ music concludes] -[Manuela] Are you okay?

I'm scared.

Why? What happened?

I'm worried that Paca will find out that I was the one that talked to you.

Don't worry, that's why we are meeting here.

When I told you that Paca was behind Óscar poisoning the reservoir,

you said you would protect us.

She suspects my husband, and he's nervous. What did you tell her?

Paca? Nothing. You can rest assured.

Just that a witness links her to Óscar and the poisoning. That's all.

-Paca doesn't have anything on you two. -I don't know, I think she's suspicious.

I'm scared what she might do to us if she finds out.

If you have anything against her, Manuela, you have to use it now.

-Pilar, go back home and trust us, okay? -[♪ music resumes]

[Manuela] Paca doesn't know if we are bluffing.

Or if we are following the Molinas' or Álex Egea's suspicions.

She may even be considering that the witness is a friend of Óscar's.

You should just keep calm and not tell anyone about this.

Everything will be solved soon.

I hope so.

[Manuela] You'll see.

-[bells tolling] -[♪ music ends]

[Silvia] Lucas?

-Hi. -Hi.

How are you?

Fine.

[sighs]

I heard about the kidnapping.

Poor thing, it must have been awful.

Such a horrible thing.

[chuckles] Well.

What's important is that it all ended well.

Yes. Yes. That's what's important.

Anyway…

I am very glad to see you.

-Thanks. -[Silvia] And that you are okay.

You are very handsome.

-[laughs] -Take care.

[♪ jazz music playing over speakers]

What are you doing?

I'm waiting for you to tell me what you are so happy about.

Ah. Well, it's just…

I just bumped into Lucas.

He really is a very sweet and polite kid.

-Just like his mother. -And his father.

[laughs] I know, silly. I'm just pulling your leg.

[sighs]

So?

How is having another grandchild all of a sudden?

How is it? Fine. I don't know.

I adore my nephew, but your Miguel is a unique case.

Two kids, both by accident?

[chuckles] God bless those accidents.

Lucía is the sweetest girl. If Lucas is just a bit like her…

But yes, you are right.

Miguel turned out to be a bit wild.

-That's on you. -On me? Why?

-He didn't have any sex education. -[♪ calm music playing]

Well, I explained some things to him at the time.

Those things fell short. Be a bit responsible, Silvia.

Enough. Stop judging me.

I… I want to prepare a family lunch for Lucas.

The poor boy has had an awful time.

The man he thought was his father has died.

After that, the kidnapping.

I want him to know us.

To know he's got a family and that he can count on us.

[laughs]

Why are you laughing now?

You spent your whole life saying Emilio Molina was the Antichrist,

-and now you share a grandson. -Mm. And a very handsome one.

He takes after the Larreas.

-Well, he's… -He's a Larrea.

[♪ music concludes]

[Trini] These apples look delicious.

Paloma picked them.

Let's see if they taste as good as they look.

-[laughs] -I'm not hungry.

I've already peeled one. Even if it is with yogurt.

You have to eat something.

I don't feel like eating.

I noticed that you didn't eat anything for lunch either.

You can't skip meals.

And you shouldn't be that gloomy either.

Are you in pain? Are you unwell?

Will you shut your mouth or should I go someplace else?

[♪ soft mysterious music playing]

I'm fine.

I just need a bit of peace and quiet.

What's the matter?

That I find myself disgusting, Trini.

And, if you knew why, you would too.

Don't say that. Is it because of your daughters?

Because I won't allow you to carry on like that.

If you need to talk, talk to me. I will never judge you.

I've been a coward my whole life. And I always will be.

[♪ music concludes]

-[♪ music playing over speakers] -[Silvia] Hi, Paca.

Those daisies are… What's that face for?

Is it still because of the interrogation?

I don't know what I've done to your daughter.

Hold on, I'll call her telepathically, let's see what she says.

You should have seen how she interrogated me.

She seemed to enjoy it.

She says she's just doing her job. And I will add that she does it very well.

If she did, she wouldn't think that I have something to do with Óscar's death.

Please, stop arguing.

It's understandable that Manuela questions anyone she thinks might have information.

And it is understandable that being linked to something so shady upsets Paca.

End of story.

-Can I get you anything? Coffee? -No, thanks.

-Can you come with me somewhere? -Do you need me to drive you?

My car is outside, but I don't think I can go on my own.

-[♪ emotive music playing] -Well… All right.

Do you mind being on your own for a while longer?

[Nati] No.

-No problem. -[Silvia] Thanks.

Those daisies are really pretty.

[Paca chuckles]

[♪ serene music playing]

Paloma. I'm sorry. Now that you two are here.

Um… I would like to ask you, please,

to try and change your attitude towards your father.

Otherwise, he'll have a heart attack.

-Has anything happened to him? -No, but it's just a matter of time.

Can't you see him? He's all doom and gloom.

Did he ask you to talk to us?

He didn't ask me anything, Gracia. Your father is a gentleman.

I'm saying it because he hasn't eaten anything today.

And I'm not blind.

Sometimes, it's like you look the other way.

Your father is an elderly man,

who's sick, who needs love.

He doesn't need fights.

I have no idea what happened between you, and I don't care.

But, please, fix it.

I don't want him to get depressed and try something crazy

like he did in the hospital.

Don't worry, Trini.

I'm quite sure he won't try that again.

If he was serious about it.

It could have just been a call for attention.

How can you say that, Gracia? I've known your father for many years now.

You might not know him as well as you think.

I don't like you talking about him that way. Don Emilio is a good man.

In any case, Trini, he's not your father, nor your husband, or anything like that.

Stop poking your nose in family matters.

Thank you for your advice, but we don't need it.

Among other things, because you have no idea what you are talking about.

[♪ soft mysterious music playing]

I'm just trying to help.

Well then try not to interfere, please.

[♪ music intensifying]

[♪ music fading]

Do you need anything?

[Tomás] I'd like to talk to you.

Have you got a moment?

I'm cooking dinner. The stoves are on.

You can handle the stove and talk at the same time. [laughs]

I looked for you and couldn't find you.

-I went to town. -Ah. What for?

Is that what you want to ask me? What I bought at the supermarket?

[Tomás laughs]

-I'll give you the receipt, if you want. -No, no need.

I saw you talking to Manuela.

[♪ soft tense music playing]

Were you following me?

Let's say I've kept an eye on you.

I didn't believe your husband when he told us

that he told the Civil Guard nothing.

What did Guillermo have to tell them?

I don't understand. What does this have to do with me?

You can keep a cool head.

I appreciate that and it could be useful in the future.

[sighs]

Tomás, I don't know what you mean.

Of course you do, Pilar.

You are the Civil Guard's witness.

What are you saying?

What witness? Witness to what?

You still deny it? Suit yourself.

We can keep on pushing if you prefer the tension.

And what will Doña Paca do?

Kick Guillermo and me out?

She has nothing on us because we have nothing to do with it.

In any case, should she retaliate,

it'd be like admitting that she has something to hide.

Shush. No. [clicks tongue]

Doña Paca doesn't have to know if none of us tell her.

Again, there's nothing to tell her.

You know there is, Pilar. And I do too.

But I could use someone here. The closer to Paca, the better.

Come on, don't worry. You can trust me.

As long as I can trust you, of course.

What do you want?

Mm, I don't know yet.

But I know that turning you in gets me nothing.

I'll find a way for you to help me. And, when the time is right,

I'll come to you, you can count on that.

[♪ music concludes]

I'm not the only one with secrets.

What do you mean?

You said it. I'm really close to Doña Paca.

I might have seen and heard things.

You both hide things too.

[laughs]

I'm not bluffing.

[♪ soft funk music playing]

I know you bribed the politician

and the environmental technician to get the approval for the mine.

If the project were so beneficial for the town

as you claim, you wouldn't need to bribe anyone, I guess.

[laughs] Come on, Pilar.

There's a lot of money at stake.

All of us will benefit from Doña Paca's mining project. You and your husband too.

I don't intend to tell anyone.

Unless it's necessary.

-[laughs] Okay. -[♪ music concludes]

I must admit that you've surprised me.

This has been a useful conversation for both of us, hasn't it?

The pot.

-What? -It smells like something's burning.

[♪ funk music resumes]

Crap.

[Pilar groans]

[♪ music concludes]

[footsteps receding]

[♪ music concludes]

[♪ melancholic music playing]

[birds chirping]

[♪ melancholic music rising]

[♪ music fading]

You had to do it.

You had to tell them.

-I couldn't hide the truth any longer. -And what did you get?

Besides ruining your family even more.

You were the one who ruined my family almost 20 years ago.

If you hadn't gotten in the way, Laura would still be alive.

Laura wanted to be with me, by my side.

And only by my side.

You killed her with your stubbornness

and with the rage of a wounded and humiliated man.

I'll accept all the blame for her death before my daughters.

But, before you,

I won't.

We were happy.

We loved each other. We had a beautiful family.

-But you interfered. -It can't have been so happy

if she fell in love with me.

If she loved you that much, why didn't she leave sooner?

Why did you hide if she was so sure about her love for you?

Why didn't she leave me?

Why didn't she start that new life with you that she longed for, as you say?

She wanted to!

But she didn't!

[♪ music intensifying]

In the end, Paca,

we both lost her.

It doesn't matter whether it was your fault or mine.

The only truth in that nightmare is that Laura is dead.

[♪ melancholic instrumental music playing]

-Hi, Gracia. -[♪ music fades]

-Hi. -Hi.

-Are you here to see Lucas? -No.

I'm here to see you.

-Ah. -[Miguel] I spoke to Tano.

And…

He said that your father had you believe that your mom's death was your fault.

Why did he do that?

-Tano couldn't explain-- -I didn't tell him.

And I don't feel like telling you either.

-Besides, that doesn't change anything. -That's true.

[♪ romantic melancholic music playing]

I told you it wasn't your fault, but you didn't listen.

I tried to help you, but you didn't accept my help either.

You didn't come back to tell me you were pregnant.

Do you think I haven't thought about all that a thousand times?

Had just one of those been different, we would be living another life.

I know.

And I'm so sorry for everything you've been through all these years.

We can't change the past.

But knowing the truth helps us overcome our traumas.

I hope it helps you.

It helps me understand a lot of the things you did.

But I don't think I can forgive you. I'm sorry.

You came to tell me you won't forgive me?

No.

To tell you that I'm aware of everything and I want to look towards the future.

I'm very happy for you.

Lucas is the only good thing we have left from the past,

and I want to know him.

Of course.

I'll keep on coming here.

To see him.

-[Gracia] Sure. -I hope you don't misinterpret it.

You think I would?

It wouldn't be the first time that you played "now I do, now I don't"…

Do you still think I'm unpredictable?

-Yes, of course. -Okay.

I don't want you to change how you feel about me and Lucas.

I won't.

Great.

It hurts that you involve Lucas in what happened between us.

[laughs]

That's the last straw.

You have no idea.

I'm not interested in listening to your explanations.

That's enough.

I just want you

to let me and my son get to know each other better.

Sure.

[♪ music fading]

[♪ emotional music playing]

No matter how many years go by,

I still love you as though you were here.

Sometimes, I even feel like you are close.

And I feel like crying.

I miss you more than you'll ever know.

[birds chirping]

You are the love of my life.

And it's really hard for me

to live without you.

[sobs]

You know better than anyone that this is true.

Don't think about that, Paca.

Why not?

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't be here right now.

[♪ music intensifying]

She's here because of me.

It's my fault. [sobs]

It's not. What are you saying?

Don't you listen to that wretched man.

It was Emilio's fault that Laura went after you

driving a car in her state.

That's what I told you.

But it's not the whole truth.

The night Emilio found us together…

he didn't have to return to Las Sabinas.

But I made a stupid call.

I left a message at his hotel reception

asking them to let him know it was going to hail

and that he needed to come back to Las Sabinas urgently.

I thought it was the best for her.

I really did.

She wasn't happy with him.

But she was unable to take the next step and leave him.

And…

And that was your way of helping her do it.

I'm so sorry.

[sobs] But we couldn't go on like that.

Hiding, living in fear.

I thought that if Emilio found us everything would go faster.

But I never, ever, thought that it would end like it did.

[inhales]

I killed her, Silvia. It was me who killed her.

No, no, no, no, no.

No. Don't say that, Paca.

Paca.

It was an accident.

It was nobody's fault.

If I hadn't led Emilio to us,

if we hadn't had that fight,

she wouldn't have had that accident.

[sighs]

[sobs]

[♪ music concludes]

[cicadas chittering]

[Paloma] Hi.

Hi.

I talked to my mom.

[sighs]

And she told me everything.

Her relationship with your mother,

that they were about to run away together.

I just found out too.

I guess you're as surprised as I am.

I admit that, until today,

I'd have never imagined that my mother could like women. I just didn't…

That's why…

That's why I didn't believe you when you told me about the kiss.

It hurt a lot, you know?

Why would I lie about something like that? Why, Esther?

We were friends, and you didn't even doubt her.

You called me a bad person and a liar.

-What did you want me to do? -To listen to me.

To give me a chance, at least.

My mother swore it wasn't true.

Everything was so bizarre, Paloma, that I…

But I don't want you to think that my mom wanted to hurt us.

You're still defending her now that you know the truth?

No.

I don't like what she did at all. At all.

But I think…

-I can understand why she lied to me. -Mm.

Even if she destroyed our friendship?

[scoffs]

Your mother has a weird understanding of love.

[♪ emotional reflective music playing]

She says she was in love with mine,

that she was willing to start a new life with her and with us and…

Now that my mother is not here anymore, she doesn't mind destroying her family.

She's motivated by the hatred she feels for my father.

That hasn't changed in all these years.

That's not fair, Paloma.

[Paloma] It's not?

She managed to get Gracia's share of Las Sabinas by taking advantage

of her son's kidnapping.

My father is right.

She won't stop until she kicks us out of Manterana.

Your father is not a role model either, Paloma.

He has kept that hatred alive all this time.

He gave us all sort of problems. My mom was questioned by the Civil Guard--

Do you think that your mother didn't have anything to do with that?

Of course she didn't.

Of course she didn't, Paloma.

And if your father has managed to make you think otherwise,

that shows he's manipulating you.

I thought you came here to apologize, but you're just excusing yourself

and blaming my father who, for once, had nothing to do with it.

Mm.

You are just like your mother.

[♪ music concludes]

[crickets chirping]

[♪ mysterious music playing]

[Óscar] Can you forgive me?

Emilio.

Óscar?

Can you forgive me?

Can you forgive me?
