Be careful with María.

Who do you think you are?

This isn't your house, and we aren't your family.

PREVIOUSLY

Lucas is your son.

I need you to help me get one million euros.

I'll give you the money if you sell me your share of Las Sabinas.

You bribed the politician and the environmental technician

-to get the approval for the mine. -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

Paca found out we were together.

I had to leave or else she'd go to the police

and you'd go to jail.

Jail? What are you saying?

She said that you killed your father and she'd tell the police.

I didn't kill my father!

I just wanted to protect you.

Hey! What are you doing on my land?

-Come. -The herbicide used to poison

the reservoir in Las Sabinas was the same one found on Óscar's clothes.

Lucía, would you like some toast?

No, thank you.

Shall I tell Pilar to prepare something else?

No, I'm not hungry.

I should go. I don't want to be late.

I'm going to San Luis this afternoon. I can take you.

No need. Thanks.

[Paca] She needs time.

It's understandable, considering what's happening to her.

Paca, if you're gonna state the obvious, don't say anything.

What's going on with you?

Nothing. Work stuff.

Your husband is upset because I bought new equipment and I didn't tell him.

And he would rather have fixed what we already had.

We shouldn't be so reluctant to get rid of things.

Is it really because of something that silly?

Yes, yes. You know your mother.

She always has to have the last word.

Mm?

Are you okay, Grandpa?

I haven't slept well. It comes with old age.

Nothing that a good nap can't fix. [chuckles softly]

You always go to sleep really late.

-Anyway, I'm off to school. -Where's your brother?

He was meeting someone to work on an assignment.

Bye.

Hello?

May I come in?

-[exhales] -Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

-Julia let me in. -Mm.

I'm here to talk to Gracia.

Could you let her know?

Yes, sure. Um… Have a seat. Have a seat.

Gracia! Manuela is here!

[clears throat]

Have you had breakfast? Would you like coffee or…?

No, thank you.

Hi. What happened?

[Manuela] Nothing, don't worry.

I'm here to let you know that you and Lucas have to testify in his case.

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing] -When?

We don't know the exact date. End of next week.

Will… he be there?

Álvarez?

No.

Just the judge in charge and his lawyer.

-It's just a formality. -Not for Lucas.

He'll have to relive what happened to him.

Mm… I gotta go.

I have tons of patients to see today, so I can't be late.

Now that you'll be alone, please, smooth things over.

We've got enough problems already. We don't need another one.

A kiss.

Especially work problems.

Won't you tell her?

That you blackmailed Gracia into leaving me?

No.

I admit that you surprise me at times.

-You are using your brain for once. -I'm not doing it to protect you, Paca.

No, no. I know that's not the reason.

I don't want her to think

that I'm only with her because you blackmailed Gracia.

And would she be wrong?

Do you think you and Esther would be married if I hadn't done that?

I won't play that game.

No, of course not.

And you won't admit that it was the best for you either.

-That doesn't make it less true. -I'm with Esther because I love her.

Not because of your scheming.

I won't say anything that might make her doubt that.

We agree.

But don't think that I'll forget what you've done to me.

You will forget, you'll see. Perhaps you'll even thank me one day.

Do you know what you're doing?

Putting Esther's happiness first, instead of your rage towards me.

Congratulations.

That's called "growing up."

[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing]

[♪ music concludes]

I need a favor.

Sure. Anything.

Can you take me to San Luis?

What do you need? We can ask Richi and save a trip.

No, I must go in person. I have an appointment with the notary.

-What for? -It's none of your business, Trini.

You are all very keen on that answer lately.

I'm giving my daughters power of attorney over my properties.

-Why aren't you going with them? -They don't have to be present.

Besides, they don't know. And I'd like to keep it that way.

Don't worry, I know how to keep a secret.

Right. The thing is that they are very peculiar and…

they could say no.

In any case, Don Emilio, I just don't understand

why you don't talk to them before doing it.

It's my decision.

And I just need their ID numbers, which I already have.

Yes. I'd like to think that…

you must have your reasons to make that decision now.

-Because my health is crap, Trinidad. -[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

[Emilio] Isn't that a good reason?

One of these days, I'll make you all happy and kick the bucket.

Or I'll have another stroke that'll leave me more dead than alive.

I'd rather do it now, with all my faculties.

Come on. We'll be back in less than two hours.

I don't feel comfortable going behind your daughters' backs.

It's for their own good. I'd understand if it was something else, but…

this won't harm them. Quite the opposite.

Besides, they don't need to use the power if they don't want to.

Please, Trini.

It's really important for me.

Well, if it's that important to you, okay then.

Give me three minutes to get dressed and we'll leave.

Thank you.

[♪ music concludes]

Morning.

-Are you busy? -[Paca] Can't you see I am?

Thank you, Pilar.

I'm glad to see you're feeling better.

It was nothing important.

Are you here just to ask about my health?

I thought you were with the consultant right now.

I've pushed back the appointment. I have news on Óscar Egea's case.

Will you tell me or will you continue acting high and mighty?

I've found out who the Civil Guard's witness is.

It's a woman.

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing] -[Tomás] It turns out Óscar had an ex,

Miranda, who lives in Australia. They kept in touch.

He told her he was behind the reservoir's poisoning.

She told the Civil Guard.

But… have they got proof?

Text messages? E-mails? Or is it just her testimony?

I don't think so. We'd know if they had more than a witness. Don't worry.

Make sure it is that way. And find the girl.

We must convince her to take back her testimony.

And Tomás…

Don't ever tell me not to worry again.

[♪ music concludes]

[footsteps approaching]

Thank you. Were they hard to find?

No. They were just where you said they would be.

You didn't tell me they were in such a bad state.

-[laughs] -If you cut yourself with this,

you'd better have the tetanus vaccine.

[laughs] They still work.

We could have asked your father to buy new ones, he's in San Luis today.

Is he in San Luis?

-Yes, with Trini. They went to the notary. -Notary?

Are you sure?

Yes, that's what they said.

-I thought you knew. -No.

I didn't know anything, but thank you for telling me.

Mm-hmm.

Do you… trust that woman?

-Trini? -[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

Yes.

She's been working for my father for many years now.

For your father. But for you?

We met her when we came back here.

I just find it odd that they'd go to the notary without telling you.

Don't you? I don't know. You go there for important stuff.

You get an appointment, prepare paperwork…

Yeah, well, communication with my father is not too smooth lately.

[María] Right, but isn't it weird that Trini didn't tell you anything?

Perhaps it's me. Maybe I'm seeing things where there's nothing. [laughs]

Your father…

-Your father seems to be a good man. -Mm.

And, even though he tries to hide it, he's vulnerable.

It's easy for someone close to take advantage of his weakness.

Especially now that the relationship between you and your sister is so tense.

I don't want to be suspicious, but…

obviously I want to know what they're doing with the notary.

-[♪ music concludes] -Is it clear?

The transfer has to arrive before tomorrow.

Mm. I don't know.

[chuckles] I'm sure you'll find a way. That's why you are the bank manager.

[cell phone beeps]

Telling someone off again?

I'm glad to see that you are okay.

I got quite worried yesterday.

You are all overreacting. I was just slightly indisposed.

Thankfully, it was just a day.

Tomás had a stack of pending papers on the desk.

-[chuckles softly] -If I'm not at the wheel, this is chaos.

By the way, will you tell me what's going on with Miguel

or do I need to wheedle it out of him?

Mm, I've already told you.

-Work stuff. -[chuckles softly]

Mom, I know both of you very well.

-You won't stop, right? -No.

Miguel and I agreed not to tell you. It's better that way.

Okay, now I really want to know.

Why? You won't like it.

I'll be the judge of that.

All right, honey, but I've warned you.

Miguel found out that I used Lucas to blackmail Gracia…

-[♪ reflective instrumental music playing] -[Paca] …into leaving him.

-How did he find out about that? -[Paca] How do you think?

He didn't tell me, but it's obvious who told him.

-Seriously, when will that woman stop? -Never.

Like father, like daughter.

-[exhales] -[Paca] They must leave Manterana.

I haven't told Miguel that you knew, so don't let it slip.

I'm the only one he blames.

And that's how it should be.

What's important is that it's clear now that he's with you because he loves you.

That's why he won't tell you.

He doesn't want you to think that he's with you because of my blackmail.

-And did you believe him? -[Paca] Yes, of course I did.

Miguel is sure about who is the love of his life, and it's not her.

I don't know, Mom. There's always something.

I feel like he still hasn't forgiven me

for telling Lucía that Lucas was her brother.

He will.

He loves you more than anything. [chuckles softly]

And I'm not surprised.

[Esther exhales]

[♪ music concludes]

-Lunch will be ready in ten minutes. -Mm-hmm.

Trini, did you go to San Luis with my father this morning?

I did.

-What for? -Shopping.

You went to the notary too, right?

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -That too. Yes.

Hmm. Why haven't you told me and Gracia anything?

It isn't my place to do that.

And was it your place to go?

What did you do there?

-I didn't do anything. -No, you didn't. But him…

But what? What? What are you implying?

It's odd that you went with him to such an important place,

and even more odd that you didn't tell us, Trini.

Because your father asked me to keep the secret.

Here we go again…

My dad is sick.

And he's very vulnerable.

-What does that have to do with me? -It's easy to take advantage of him.

What's this nonsense?

Do you think I've tricked him into doing something in my favor?

[♪ music concludes]

Have you?

I'm offended.

Your lack of an answer says I'm right.

How can you and your sister be so cruel to me?

Aren't you ashamed?

And regarding the notary,

I'll say it again…

he must tell you himself.

-[Emilio] What's going on, Trini? -[Trini sobbing softly]

[huffs]

Can you tell me what happened?

[cicadas chittering]

[Miguel] What's that?

An article I'm writing for a magazine run by a colleague from university.

Mm. And how is it coming along?

[sighs] Really bad.

I should've already done it, but with all that's happened, I haven't even started.

I'm meeting Lucas at Casa Larrea.

Are you coming?

-When? This afternoon? -Mm.

We'll be alone. It'll be a good time for you to know each other a bit better.

I… need to finish this article.

I have to submit it as soon as possible. Some other day, okay?

All right. But soon.

I think you two will get along. He's a great kid.

I've talked to my mother.

And I know why you are angry.

Did she tell you?

Mm.

Using Lucas to blackmail Gracia is unforgivable.

And hiding from you that you had a son… That's really…

[exhales] I'm sorry.

-It's not your fault. -But I know my mother won't apologize.

What hurts me the most

is the fact that she used my father's death to blackmail her.

What?

Mm…

She didn't tell me about that. What does your father have to do in this?

Your mother made Gracia believe she has proof that I killed my father.

She had to leave me, otherwise your mother would report me.

Mm…

-Mm, I don't know what to say. -You know that's not true, right?

I didn't kill my father.

-Miguel, please, of course I know. -[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

I hate that she used that against you.

I don't know whether you'll be able to forgive her, but…

I want you to know that I'm on your side.

Thanks.

I know you are not like her. Had you known, you would have told me.

And I don't want this to affect us as a couple.

My relationship with your mother and with you…

are two different things.

Miguel,

if you want to resign

-or leave, I would understand. -[♪ music concludes]

-No. We can't do that. -[Esther] No. Yes. Yes, we can.

-Look at me. -[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

I'll tell you something that I want you to remember.

If I ever have to choose between my mother and you--

-No, Esther. -No. Yes, Miguel…

I will choose you.

For me, you come first.

And you always will.

I appreciate it.

But, precisely because you are on my side, we don't have to go anywhere.

I know how important your mother is to you.

I'll do whatever I can to get along with her.

Do you think you'll be able to?

I don't know if our relationship will be the same, but…

I'll try to get along with her. Yes.

No, Miguel. You're very generous, but I can't ask you to do that.

Sure you can.

I've asked you to let Lucas into your life.

Because we are a family, and it's important we stick together.

Even if we have to make an effort.

[♪ music intensifying]

[♪ music concludes]

I asked Trini not to tell you and Gracia.

-Does Gracia think the same? -Hmm.

-That woman goes out of her way for me. -What did you want us to think?

How were we going to guess that you'd give us power and not tell us?

I don't understand why you've done it nor why it was a secret.

Did you think we would forgive you because of it?

[scoffs] It's not that.

Something just came to my mind.

Something I had forgotten and…

now…

Now what?

[scoffs]

Just…

Nobody is hungry today?

I'm too busy to be waiting here.

How could you?

Using the death of Miguel's father to blackmail Gracia?

He told you.

I'm not surprised. That man doesn't think.

It's not that. Miguel and I have an honest relationship.

[laughs] Perhaps before Gracia came back.

Why don't you stop thinking about it?

Because it is Miguel. And for Miguel, I…

I doubt you can understand it.

I understand it all too well.

For me, Miguel comes first. It's not a figure of speech.

First, you blackmail him with Lucas. Now, with his father's death.

How far will you go to get what you want?

To get what I want?

Let me remind you that I did what I did to help you. Believe it or not,

I know he's over all this.

-You didn't care back then. -Well, I do care now.

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing] -I had never lied to him before.

I had to tell him that I didn't know about your scheming.

If Miguel finds out, he'll never forgive me.

The solution to that is easy.

Will you tell him?

Me neither.

I'm not sure I'll be able to look at him after lying like this.

You will, you'll see.

The truth is overrated.

It either makes people suffer or takes weight off our shoulders.

Nobody likes lying, but, sometimes, a lie helps fix something

that the truth would destroy.

-You're sure that you want to be with him. -Of course.

Then, you know what to do.

It's not just that. This thing with Lucas is distancing us.

I find it harder and harder each day to accept the idea of living with…

-Miguel and Gracia's son. It's just… -You'll get used to it.

I'm trying.

I try to pretend. But, sooner or later, it'll take its toll on us.

Did that happen when Lucía came up?

Of course not.

It's the same thing. What did you do when her mother appeared with the child?

Supported Miguel and accepted her.

Do you see it now or shall I give you more clues?

For once, you can solve the problem on your own.

[♪ music intensifies, fades]

[♪ gentle instrumental music playing]

[knocking on door]

Are you coming down for lunch?

I've already had lunch.

Mm… Won't you talk to me?

About what?

I don't know. Whatever you want.

You haven't said a word today.

I've got a lot of work, Dad.

I know you are having a really bad time, honey.

But I can only say that I'm sorry.

It kills me to see you like this.

You are the one I love the most in this world.

Lucía.

Hey.

I want you to know that, no matter what,

I'll help you with anything you need.

Right. But you can't give me what I need, okay?

So, may I please carry on with this?

[door closing]

[♪ music concludes]

What's for lunch?

[sobs]

Mom, what's wrong?

It must have been María. She must have heard us. It was her.

What do you mean? What did she do?

Paloma and Gracia have said awful things to me.

They've been really mean to me, really mean.

And I'm sure it was because of María. I'm so sure it was her, so sure.

[sobs]

[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

[sobs]

[Paloma sighing]

[footsteps approaching]

[Paloma] Hey.

Have you seen your mother? I'd like to… talk to her.

-[♪ music concludes] -She can't stop crying.

You broke her heart.

It was a misunderstanding. I made a mistake.

Gracia and I were wrong.

-[♪ music resumes] -I don't understand.

How could you accuse her of talking advantage of your father?

She really cares about him. I can't understand it. I can't.

You do know what my mother means for Las Sabinas, right?

While you were away living your lives, she was here.

She took care of your father and the house day in, day out.

Through thick and thin. Many times, even for free.

Doing a lot of juggling to prevent this from collapsing.

Yes, Richi, I know.

That's why I feel so bad about having doubted her.

I just wanted to apologize on behalf of both my sister and myself.

[scoffs]

Well, I don't know whether she'll forgive you, but…

it'll be difficult for me to do so.

[exhales]

[♪ music concludes]

[♪ gentle folk music playing over speakers]

-Shall we order anything else? -No, thanks.

I told my mom I wouldn't be back late.

Lunch was good. Your family is very nice.

Well, our family. Now it's your family too.

You even managed to make me forget about everything for a moment.

By the way…

how's Lucía?

She's…

-not too well. -Right.

[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

I try to talk to her, but it's like I'm the enemy.

Honestly, I don't know how we can get over this.

[♪ music concludes]

Hi.

-[Miguel] You're here. -[Esther chuckling]

[Miguel] I thought you had to finish an article.

Yes, but it can wait one more day.

And medicine, unfortunately, doesn't progress that fast.

-Is it okay if I join you? -Sure.

[Esther] Yeah? [chuckling softly]

-[Lucas] So, you are writing an article. -Yes.

What is it about?

Some medical yada yada you'll probably find boring.

The importance of blood tests in the early detection of serious illness.

There you go. [laughs]

It doesn't sound that boring.

[Esther] Right, you've chosen the science field in high school.

-Yes. -Don't tell me you want to be a doctor.

Well, I don't know yet.

You'll have to decide soon.

Yes. I have to decide this year.

The truth is that I really like research.

I visited a lab with my class last year, and I thought it was quite cool.

[Esther] Ah. Listen.

I've got a friend at the Research Institute in San Luis.

I can call him, and we can plan a visit, if you want.

-That'd be cool. -[chuckles softly] Great.

Would you like another drink? Shall we order some food?

Well, I can let my mom know.

-Fine by me. -[both chuckle softly]

What are you doing?

You aren't leaving, are you, Trini?

[sighs] Trini, please.

Trini…

I've made an unforgivable mistake, and I understand that you are hurt, Trini,

but you have to accept my apologies.

I'm apologizing on behalf of my sister too. You belong here,

-in Las Sabinas. -No, no. I don't belong here anymore.

I'm sorry I've misjudged you, but you have to understand. It was odd.

This was the last straw.

-[♪ somber instrumental music playing] -Since you and your sister arrived,

every time I tried to help you fix your family issues,

you made clear to me that it wasn't my family.

You were very cruel in the hospital.

I understood that you were really nervous, and I didn't take it personally.

I didn't take it personally that afternoon either,

when you were so unpleasant,

when I asked you to fix things with your father.

Or when I warned you about María.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I am a nobody in this house, Paloma.

Someone new comes here stirring up trouble,

and you believe them, not me.

It was María who told you about the notary, am I right?

She was the only one who could hear your father

asking me to go with him to San Luis.

[sobs]

What does it matter now?

We've made a mistake, and I'm asking you to give us another chance.

During all these years,

my only motivation was the affection I have for your father.

But you've made very clear that I'm just a bother in this house.

That's not true. Don't say that.

It is. And you've made me realize that.

You'll find someone who can clean and cook for you in no time.

Those'll be the only things you'll miss.

I feel bad for your father, because it's not his fault.

Stay. Do it for him.

No. For him? For him I've put up with all these humiliations.

But I can't do it anymore, Paloma.

Enough. I can't take it anymore.

[♪ music concludes]

Did you know he wanted to study medicine?

He didn't say he wanted to, he said he's thinking about it.

True.

Thank you for the offer to visit the lab.

-Very thoughtful of you. -Mm.

I'm… very thoughtful.

-[laughs] -I know.

And I appreciate it.

I know this whole thing with Lucas is difficult for you.

He's your son, that's what's important.

Besides, I had a great time. The kid is really nice.

-[♪ gentle instrumental music playing] -I'm happy to know him, to be honest.

It's a shame that I missed out on so many years of his life.

No, don't think about that now.

Were you happy to… see me?

Sure. Besides, it was the perfect timing. We were talking about Lucía.

I talked to her earlier, and she was still quite upset.

Right…

[sighs] I don't know what to say to her, nor what to do with her.

Don't worry. It's just a matter of time. You'll see.

[Miguel] That's what I told her.

But it is no comfort for her.

Nothing is when you are 16 and heartbroken, right?

What matters is that she knows that we support her.

And you know that you have my support for anything you need.

Do I?

Mm. Totally.

And that reminds me that you and I, mister, have some pending business.

Mm…

And what business is that?

[both laugh]

Could you take care of a third child?

If it's yours, of course.

[♪ music continues]

-[♪ music concludes] -[birds chirping]

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

[♪ music intensifying]

[thud]

[♪ music concludes]

Wow. Someone overslept this morning.

I won't tell the boss.

[scoffs]

Never speak to me again.

If it is work related, you just tell me,

but spare me the chitchat.

Why is that?

Because you are false, and I'm sick of your crap.

-Um… -[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

If you explain to me what they told you,

so that I can defend myself.

I wasn't told anything, I've seen it with my own eyes.

My mom saw through you the first day. I'm an idiot, though,

and I defended you. But I've seen now exactly who you are. A troublemaker.

If you won't tell me what I did, then go.

She tells me to go. The nerve… [laughs]

Don't worry, I won't spend time with you if it's not essential.

I'll remind you what you did.

First, you tell Paloma that I was flirting with you.

What flirting?

Then, you make her and Gracia believe

that my mom wanted to take advantage of Emilio.

About Paloma, I already explained. She misunderstood me, all right?

And about your mother, I don't know what you mean.

No, No. Of course not. I got you, María.

I've seen what kind of person you are.

You like to cause trouble. Why? What have we done to you?

Everyone has treated you well. What the hell have we done to you?

What happened?

I don't know. I don't know.

He made inappropriate comments, I asked him to stop

and he went apeshit, you've seen him.

I know it's not my business, but both he and his mother

are taking too many liberties, Paloma.

Look, María, I don't know what you heard yesterday, but…

what my father and Trini did with the notary

doesn't have anything to do with what you had me believe.

-Had you believe? -Mm-hmm.

[María] I didn't do that. I just said they went to San Luis to see the notary.

-Did or didn't they go? -No, they did.

That's not the issue.

Yeah, I know I overheard a conversation

that I shouldn't have overheard, but you are so nice to me.

-I had to tell you. -And involve Trini while you were at it,

making up things that weren't true.

I didn't make up anything. I don't know why they went. I just know they did.

You said my father was vulnerable and Trini could take advantage of him.

Yes, because that's what I thought.

But you thought so too. Both of us are to blame.

Okay. I don't want to fight. You are my friend, and I owe you a lot.

But I'm asking you to stop interfering in my life and my family's life.

-You know my intentions are good-- -Leave it, María.

End of story.

[♪ music concludes]

[Miguel] I hope you are not upset because I introduced Esther to Lucas.

No, no, of course not.

It's not about that.

Manuela came to see me yesterday.

She said that Lucas and I have to testify before the judge.

I know.

She summoned me too.

We'll see each other in court.

-I'm worried about Lucas. -Why?

It was a huge trauma. I'm not sure he's ready to relive what happened.

What did he say?

Nothing. I haven't told him yet.

If you want me to tell him…

I was going to wait and tell him closer to the date.

I don't want him to overthink.

-What do you think? -Yes, you know him better. As you like.

I'm glad we agree. I think it's the first time since--

Since I've known he's my son? [laughs] Yes. Maybe.

It's important to put aside our differences when it comes to him.

I totally agree.

If you don't mind, I should go, I have work to do.

No, wait. Wait. There's something else I wanted to talk about.

When the legal procedure ends, and I get back my money,

I'd like to buy back my share of Las Sabinas from Paca.

I spoke to her and she isn't willing to do that.

But since your opinion is so important to her…

Well, you know her. When Paca makes a decision,

she doesn't change her mind.

Even if I tell her.

But it's only fair, Miguel.

I sold my share to her because Lucas' life was in danger.

And she would say she paid a fair price. And that's true.

Lucas deserves to get back what always belonged to his family.

Don't do it for me, do it for our son.

[♪ soft tense instrumental music playing]

Our son?

Is he "our son" now? Hmm?

You say "my son" the whole time, and now that you need something from me…

-[laughs] -That's not fair, Miguel.

I'm getting used to it. It wasn't intentional, I just said it.

-It came out naturally. -It came out

now that you want something from me.

Like when you told me he was my son and needed money to pay his ransom.

If that hadn't happened, I wouldn't know.

If you are worried about Lucas' inheritance, don't be.

Everything owned by El Acebuche will benefit our son in the future.

If you don't mind, I have to go.

[exhales]

[♪ music intensifying]

[knocking on door]

-[♪ music concludes] -Yes.

[footsteps approaching]

May I come in?

I'm here to say goodbye, Don Emilio.

Goodbye? What?

Where are you going?

Are you thinking about leaving us?

Richi and I won't work at Las Sabinas anymore.

-[♪ emotional instrumental music playing] -No, no.

You can't go. This house will fall apart without you.

Tell your daughters. They don't want me here.

Don't say that.

I've talked to them, and they regret all their accusations.

[Trini] I'm sorry, Don Emilio.

I've made a decision. I can't continue in this house.

How can you say that?

-After all these years… -After being treated like a nobody.

Not one kind word, not one nice gesture… Nothing.

Trini, please.

Take care of yourself.

[suitcase clattering]

[exhales]

[Emilio] Please, Trini. I beg you, don't go.

Don't leave us. Don't leave me. I need you.

I need you to take care of my daughters.

Your daughters? They hate me.

They'll end up loving you, as I did. When they know you well, they will.

Is it the time for compliments? Is it that hard to find a housekeeper?

Not a compliment, it's the truth.

I'm not saying it to convince you. I just feel that way.

If I stay, it'd only be because of you.

Would you do it for me?

Tell me what else I should do for you to stay.

Nothing.

I find it hard to be away…

from you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you because I don't deserve this.

I don't deserve your affection. Anybody's affection.

I'm not a good person.

But why are you saying that now? What's going on?

There's something that no one knows.

Not even me. I forgot about it. I don't know how it happened.

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing] -But…

I guess I erased it from my memory because I couldn't accept that I had…

that I had…

I don't know if I had a stroke that day too

and everything got confused and the memory was buried.

But a few days ago…

I started…

Well, it started.

[♪ music intensifying]

[Emilio] I began to see it.

Óscar? Óscar! Talk! Say something!

Óscar! Say something, Óscar!

And then…

it was clear. It was clear that it had been me.

I killed him.

I killed Óscar Egea.
