[Miguel] Forget about her.

She'll make you suffer, as she made me.

PREVIOUSLY

-What's going on? What has he done?
-He's asked Gracia to marry him.

All Molinas are welcome at Casa Larrea.

I'll go for a beer one of these days.

-If it hadn't been for you…
-[sighs]

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

Your account has been hacked.
I know someone who can fix it.

-Who?
-Daniel.

Your cousin's boyfriend?

-[Miguel] Yes.
-Manuela and I have broken up.

[Álex] I choose you because I love you.

If the Church doesn't let me,
I'll give it up.

Antidepressants?

Yes. It's the treatment
I've been taking since Argentina.

[Núñez] The judge has set a date
for the exhumation of your grave.

Do you realize that you've committed
several serious offenses?

She could be sentenced
to three years in prison.

And three to six on top of that
for forging official documents.

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

-[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]
-[coffin dragging]

If Laura Montalbo is not in there, who is?

Did they bury an unidentified body?

We'll know soon.

[tools clinking]

-[birds chirping]

A FEW HOURS EARLIER...

[♪ mysterious instrumental music resumes]

I'm Miguel. Miguel Larrea.

You haven't changed that much.

How are you?

-I haven't seen you yet.
-I've seen you.

I saw you at El Acebuche,
when Paca kicked you out with a shotgun.

Ah… I see.

And what are you doing here?

I'm in San Luis for work,
and I had to talk to you.

Who told you where I am staying?

You are the talk of the town.
You are not being too discreet.

It's only natural that people talk.

Either that or you haven't hidden
as well as you did these last 20 years.

[♪ music fading]

I'm in a hurry. What do you want from me?

A really simple answer.

Why are you back and why now?

I can see that you are angry.

I understand that what happened
ruined your relationship with Gracia, but…

"What happened."

You mean your fake death? [snickers]

I'm trying to explain that I also suffered
because of what happened.

I'm not interested in your explanations.

You've had 20 years to explain.
It's not my problem if you didn't.

-I'm not interested in your tone.
-[Miguel] You won't like this then.

The Laura I remember wasn't a coward.

And she would never hurt
her family. Never.

That person died, Miguel,

on the day I left for Argentina.

There's nowhere further than that.

I had to get as far away as possible
if I were to leave my girls.

Because my body
might not be in that grave,

but my soul is.

Very touching.

But your regrets are too late.

The damage you've done can't be fixed now.

I remember you as… a charming boy,

and you've become
a very bitter man, Miguel.

-What did you expect?
-[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

You separated me from Gracia.

We could have been very happy
and built a family.

Now, please, answer my question.

[♪ music intensifies]

Why are you back?

To get back my family, obviously.

And you'd better respect that.

Let me tell you something, Miguel.

I might be the reason why things
didn't end well between you and Gracia,

but you were never able to fight for her.

And that is your fault. Accept it.

-Good morning, Paca.
-[♪ music concludes]

[Tomás] The information you asked for.

I called all the institutions Laura said
she had been admitted to. They confirm it.

I've asked for records, admission
and discharge certificates… I got that.

What have they treated her for, exactly?

[Tomás] I talked
to a psychiatrist who saw her.

He didn't go into detail, but it seemed
to be related to a severe depression.

What about those mysterious relatives
who emigrated after the Civil War?

-Did you find them?
-I did.

Dead. All of them.

No descendants.

How convenient.

According to all records, they existed.

I can't tell you more.

-What have you heard about the exhumation?
-Just that it'll be this afternoon.

[inhales deeply, sighs]

Who have I been visiting in the cemetery
all these years? So stupid.

Perhaps, we should see all this
from a more rational perspective.

Explain.

Confirming that Laura is alive
is the objective of the exhumation.

When that happens, she'll get back
all her assets automatically.

Considering your old friendship,

you could try and convince her
to sell you her share of Las Sabinas.

The Laura I knew
would never let go of Las Sabinas.

Would that Laura have faked
her own death to flee to Argentina?

People change, Paca.

And our mining project is at stake.

Why do I have to explain again
what I already said in court?

And that Núñez
looks at me as if I were a criminal.

Just tell him what you already said
and don't worry about anything else.

Thank you for coming with me.

It really means a lot.

I can push back the co-op meeting
and go with you as well.

No, your sister will come.
I just don't want to go alone.

The more support, the better.
It's not a problem. Really.

I'll call Lola, and I'll push it back.

Paloma, we have many open fronts.

We have to spread out.

The co-op is essential
to start the food industry.

Yes, you are right. I must go now, then.

Good luck.

-Call me later.
-I will.

[Laura] Bye, honey.

Gracia, I have to tell you something.

I lied in my statement.

I said I didn't remember
that I got my memory back in Buenos Aires.

Mom, and you tell me now?
But what were you thinking?

I needed the exhumation process
to start so I could get my life back.

I didn't want to get the coroner
into trouble either.

Nor my family,
they paid him for my death certificate.

Keep exactly the same version,
without contradicting yourself, okay?

I thought you'd ask me to confess.

[Gracia] Well, you haven't lied,
you just omitted information.

Your psychological state
after the accident will justify the gaps.

Well…

I don't know, I hope you are right.
I don't like that officer, Núñez.

Why do you say that?
Did he intimidate you?

No, no. It's not that.
It's just that he's curt.

I'm scared of that man.

Núñez is doing his job.

Don't be scared,
I'll be with you, all right?

All right.

You are… [laughs]
…an intelligent and resolute woman.

And you've become
my biggest support very quickly.

I wish everyone would treat me so well.

Why do you say that?

Mom.

Why do you say that?

-Miguel was here earlier.
-[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

-Miguel Larrea?
-[Laura] Mm-hm.

[Gracia] What for?

I don't know. He was very unpleasant.

He isn't happy about my return.
He doesn't like it at all.

No, your return is not his problem, Mom.

Tell me everything.

Good morning.

You're still here?

-Yes. I start a bit later today.
-[♪ music concludes]

You left very early, didn't you?

Yes. I had to do a few things in San Luis.

And Tano?

-Won't you go see him?
-[Miguel] What for?

What do you mean, "What for?"
To fix things.

Or will you leave it
as it ended yesterday?

I haven't thought about it yet.

I understand that, after what happened
between you and Gracia,

it upsets you that she's with him.

-Esther…
-It must be hard to see them get married.

Don't jump to any conclusions, please.

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing]
-Don't worry.

I don't think I'm the victim this time.

I know you love me, Miguel.

And that our marriage
is more important than anything.

Then what's this all about?

You and Tano have always loved each other.

You have a great relationship.

You can't stop talking because of this.

You have to fix it.

[exhales]

I'm surprised how generous you are.

[chuckles] No, let's not fool ourselves.

There is a selfish reason too.

You won't be yourself until you fix this.

And that affects me.

I'll go grab my things.

-[sighs]
-[♪ music concludes]

[♪ calm instrumental music playing]

Hey. How did it go?

Fine. Well, as usual.

I thought you were working.

I'm taking the afternoon shift
because of the exhumation.

-Anyway, tell me.
-[♪ music concludes]

How did it go with the archbishop?
How did he take it?

As expected.

He exaggerated its complexity,
mentioning endless bureaucratic obstacles.

But will they let you quit?

They don't want
to lose anybody, obviously,

and it's always sad
when a vocation is lost,

but he promised he'll respect my decision.

Álex.

You are sure, right?

Why are you asking me that now?

Because bosses have a way with words.

Núñez, for instance,
he could convince me of anything.

And then,
I end up believing it was my idea.

My boss can be very persuasive too.

But I know what I want.

And what I feel. There's no way back.

I'm glad to hear that.

You have no idea.

[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

You are the most important thing
in my life, Manuela. I already told you.

Way more than…

[laughs] That's some competition.

I've chosen freely,

under my responsibility.

After all, it was God who gave us
the ability to love, right?

Do you know what I was thinking earlier?

What?

You never told me why you became a priest.

Ah.

It was a bit like in the movies.

The usual problem kid
who sees the light and finds salvation.

That happened while you lived away
from here, right?

Yes.

In my aunt's town. Yes.

I was really lost.

And in so much pain.

When my father abandoned us,
I started to get into trouble,

and it got worse and worse.

[Manuela]
I think Aunt Silvia told me about it.

She kept in touch with your mother.

My mother, bless her,
didn't know what to do with me.

She ended up sending me
to a strict religious boarding school.

To spare the rod is to spoil the child.

[both laugh]

Their humanity
was what impressed me the most.

The values you could see there.

Some of my teachers did social work,
almost heroic work.

And I wanted to follow that example.

And from there to the seminary?

That's right. And from there,

the story of how I became a priest
becomes way more normal.

Thanks for sharing that part of you.

That part is already behind me.

Are you nervous?

-A bit, surely?
-[chuckles]

Changes are always dizzying.

And this is no small one.

I don't know if I'll adapt
to being a normal person again.

There are no normal people.

-There are good people and bad people.
-[♪ music concludes]

And you are in the first group.

[♪ mysterious instrumental music playing]

CIVIL GUARD HEADQUARTERS

Thank you for coming at such short notice.

Like I said yesterday, it won't take long.

I'd like to stay with my mother.
She's not in good health.

Not a problem.

Also, we are here without a lawyer
because we have nothing to hide.

Mm-hm. I've realized that.

-Please, come with me.
-Sure.

[♪ music concludes]

Laura, we just need to clarify some doubts

about your statement in court.

We've investigated your finances
before your disappearance.

That allows us to rule out

that you faked your own death
to avoid paying back debts

or to get paid
insurance money fraudulently.

However…

there's one offense left,
the forging of official documents.

Since you are alive,

the coroner probably had to forge
the death certificate.

Therefore, his cooperation was necessary

to orchestrate the fake funeral.

[clears throat]

[Núñez] Tell me, Laura,

was everything planned since the beginning

or was it improvised after the accident?

I don't know, I don't remember.

It was a long time ago.

I said in my statement that…

[huffs] …because of the shock,
I had many memory gaps.

We don't die every day, right?

I'm sure that, if you make an effort,
you'll be able to remember something.

Do you know how hard it is for me
to remember all that?

Do you know that I've been living
with that trauma for 20 years?

[Núñez] These clarifications
are for your own good,

in order to accurately determine
the severity of your crimes.

Let me remind you
that those are not minor crimes.

-Sentences are from three to six years.
-[Laura] Right.

But why are you saying, "her crimes"?
I thought it was only forgery.

[laughs] I didn't kill anybody.

Well, we can say that you killed yourself.

It's something serious.

Please, don't stress her.

She's suffered enough already.

[Núñez] That's not an excuse.

Until an expert confirms otherwise,

she must face
the consequences of her actions.

She's been in psychiatric treatment
for 20 years, Núñez.

Gracia.

Control that tone,
or I'll have to ask you to wait outside.

-I lied in my first statement.
-[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

I'm sorry, honey. I can't bear it anymore.

My family in Argentina
paid the coroner to…

help me disappear, somehow.

And I didn't ask anything afterwards.

Well, I'm glad
that you are getting your memory back.

So,

who's inside the coffin?

I don't know.

[♪ music concludes]

-Hi, Miguel. All good?
-[Miguel] Everything is fine, thanks.

-[door closing]
-What's wrong with him?

-He's miles away.
-Mm.

He had an argument with Tano
because of Gracia yesterday.

It turns out they are together.

What?

Tano and Gracia?

Since when?

No idea. But, apparently,
they are already talking about marriage.

-[scoffs] It's unbelievable.
-Mm.

She messes up everything, that woman…

-[exhales]
-And how was that brotherly fight?

They came to blows.

I don't know what would have happened
if I hadn't been there.

How are you holding up?

[sighs]

It really bothers me
that Miguel is so upset, I can't deny it.

Same old, same old, Mom.

But you know what?

This might be the last straw
that makes Miguel forget her forever.

He's your husband.

He shouldn't be thinking
about any other woman.

Mom, I swore to myself

that I would never lose sleep
over Gracia ever again.

And I will keep my promise.

I'm off to work.

Bye.

[door opening]

I'm sorry I left you high and dry there,

but I don't want to continue lying
now that I'm back home.

I want a clean start.

I understand. And I think it's very brave.

Well, I don't know if I'm that brave.

There's one thing that terrifies me.

What we might find inside that coffin.

What if the coroner did something crazy?

Let's not think
about the worst-case scenario.

We'll find out this afternoon.

Hey!

I've been waiting for you.
So? How did it go?

Phew. I'll tell you in a bit.

They are waiting at the consultancy.

I can stay a bit longer if you want.

No, don't worry, go.
You've done enough, honey.

I'll call you later.

-Mm-hmm.
-[kisses]

Well, so?

Nothing.

I told them the truth.
I can't continue skating on thin ice.

-Right.
-[laughs]

What if we go for lunch at Casa Larrea?

We could both do with some fresh air.

I don't know if it's a good idea.

To walk around Manterana
after the questioning…

It's the best way
to show that everything is normal.

And you can say hi
to your old friend Silvia.

Ex-friend.

Well, I haven't been there
for two decades either. But not long ago,

after she found out
we share a grandson, she came to see me.

And? What for?

To make peace
and to tell me I was welcome in her house.

And did you believe her?

I did.

We must all do our part
to get over the past

-and look towards the future.
-[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

[Emilio] If you and I don't believe
in second chances, who will?

You are absolutely right.

Plus, she was an excellent cook.

Not as good as you.

I'll go get a jacket.

-Give me a minute.
-All right.

What's in that head of yours?

Laura Montalbo?

[♪ music concludes]

Daniel?

Not at all. That's already sorted out.

So? Álex Egea?

Dani told me why you broke up.

Well, that's not okay at all.

Don't hold it against him. I insisted,
and he had no choice but to tell me.

Look, I'm really sorry I hurt him.

But, if I'm honest,
it'd be better if he left town.

He can't do that. He's working for Paca.

He's what?

[birds chirping]

Do you want to use the back door?

No, no way.

If she's here to stay,
we'd better get used to it. Come.

[♪ gentle instrumental music playing]

-Hi.
-Hi.

What are you doing here alone?

I'm waiting for Emilio.
We're going to have lunch at Casa Larrea.

-That sounds nice.
-Yes.

-You are adapting, right?
-Little by little.

Now that we are talking,
I wanted to thank you

for taking care of Emilio.

Well, he welcomed us into his home,
and we returned the favor.

Mm. But you did way more than that.

You were his only family
until my girls came back to town.

Don Emilio deserves everything.

He was amazing with us from the beginning.

-Right, son?
-Yes. Indeed.

He's adorable even when he grunts.

[laughs]

Well, as I've said,
thank you for not leaving him alone.

Being alone is the worst thing
that can happen to you.

[Emilio] I'm ready… Hey.

-Shall we?
-What have you got there?

-Mm? What? This?
-What's that?

[Emilio] Ah! I don't know what it is.

-Who knows? Who knows? [laughs]
-Magic! [laughs]

-Bye, my dears.
-[Trini] See you later.

[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

-Since you told Don Emilio that--
-That's already settled.

I asked him to forget about what I said.

The way he looks at her…

He's still madly in love.

And I can't even hate her.

She's done more than her daughters did
when they came back.

She's thanked us
for taking care of Don Emilio.

[♪ music concludes]

[door opening]

[door closing]

[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

As you can see,
I have accepted your invitation.

I hope it still stands.

Of course it does.

For both of you.

[laughs]

[Silvia] Welcome.

Thank you, Silvia.

[♪ music intensifying]

MANTERANA TOWN HALL

I can't tell you how it went
because Núñez handled it.

I just know that Gracia was there.

Yeah. She was pretty worried about that.

Hopefully, the exhumation
will clear up everything.

I was on my way to the station.
Have you got any news about the hacking?

[Manuela] Yes.

Your mom has just told me
that you've hired Daniel.

We had no access to the account,
it was an emergency,

-and we needed a computer technician.
-And why him?

Didn't you know we had broken up?

I had no idea. I found out later.

Couldn't you have called
any other technician?

There are some in San Luis.

You've always said
that Daniel was the best in this region.

Any computer expert can take care
of El Acebuche's security.

I think hiring my ex is inappropriate.

Or am I wrong?

-Yes, cousin. I think you are wrong.
-[scoffs]

Daniel has the right
to carry on with his life.

And that includes
working for whoever pays for his services.

We live in a small town, Manuela.

You need to move on and accept

that you'll bump into that person
sooner or later.

You need to be mature about it.

I don't have time for this now. See you.

Miguel.

Even though I think you were
way out of line the other day,

I don't want us to be mad at each other.

I don't have time for this now either.

Have a nice day.

It was delicious, Silvia.

-Aw…
-[Laura] It had some tarragon, right?

[Silvia] That's right!

You know what? It was you
who recommended I add it to the recipe.

-I wanted to see if you could taste it.
-[laughs]

I still have a good palate.

-[laugh]
-[Silvia laughing]

-The good old times.
-Yeah.

Remember when we used to go for walks?
We were pregnant with Miguel and Gracia.

I remember perfectly well.
Wonderful years, weren't they?

-[Silvia] Yeah.
-So young, still best friends…

Well, now that we are getting nostalgic…

-Mm.
-[Emilio] …here I go.

No! My curiosity will be satisfied.
What is it?

-[gasps]
-[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

It's the original.

[gasps]

It's the one we ordered
after we were left stranded in Soria.

Oh…

During our honeymoon,
in the middle of a forest full of…

Juniperus thurifera.

Commonly known as sabina.

The best name for the result

of unifying the land
of the Montalbos and the Molinas.

[laughs] But, Silvia,
wasn't it Fernando who lent us the truck?

What? Truck?

What truck?

It was a four-by-four. And it was new,
you used it for the first time.

[laughs] You couldn't have forgotten,
Laura.

-I'm so silly.
-[laughs] It ruined our honeymoon.

New, but totally messed up. [laughs]

-[Silvia laughs] Hey!
-[laughs]

I get some memory lapses sometimes
because of my meds.

[Lucía] How's having
a new grandma all of a sudden?

It was weird at the beginning,
but you get used to it.

Everybody seems to be happy at home, so…

Laura is nice.
But she seems a bit out of it sometimes.

You don't know her, right?

I don't. And she came
to El Acebuche the other day.

-Really?
-That's what I heard.

And it must have been a real mess
because Paca is really pissed off.

[laughs] Who understands them?

How are we meant to understand anything
if our grandma comes back to life?

[chuckles]

Hey, what a coincidence.

-Hi!
-[Lucas] Hi.

-How are you?
-[Emilio] This is Lucía,

Miguel Larrea's daughter.

-Nice to meet you.
-[Laura] Hi.

Lucía, you have beautiful eyes.

-[Lucía] Thank you.
-Come here.

How is it going?

-Aw…
-We are going home, are you coming?

Yes. We were on our way.

I'll go inside, I'm starving.

-Nice meeting you, Laura.
-Great. Nice meeting you too, Lucía.

[chuckles]

What's that pendant?

It has an amazing story. It's a sabina.

Do you know
where the name Las Sabinas comes from?

[Julia] No.

To think that not long ago
we had to make do with typewriters.

It's not as difficult as it seems, Paca.
It's just a matter of starting.

At my age, there are some battles
that I won't fight. This is one of them.

[Dani] No problem. That's why I'm here.

Done.

Um… I've installed some
quite sophisticated security software.

Not even a Russian hacker
could access your accounts right now.

Let's see
if they catch the jerk who did it.

By the way, do you know
if the Civil Guard made any progress?

Me?

Doesn't your girlfriend tell you anything?

Ah, right… We are not dating anymore.

Ah. I didn't know.

-I'm sorry. [chuckles]
-[Dani] No worries.

I don't want to rub salt in the wound,

but do you know why Manuela insisted
I had something to do

with Óscar Egea's case?

She's an obsessive woman.

When she focuses on something,

she doesn't stop
until she gets what she wants.

And what did she want in this case?
To ruin my life?

With everything I've done for her family.

I don't know.
It's as if she hated women in my position.

No. I don't think that's the reason.

[Paca] Maybe her friend's death upset her
so much that she couldn't think straight.

But that's a problem too,
of course, because… [laughs]

…an unstable officer…

Óscar's death tore her apart.

It's understandable.
He was her best friend.

But no. Manuela is an honest woman.

Upstanding.

An officer who just wants the truth.

[birds chirping]

[Manuela] I've been thinking, Álex.

You're leaving everything for me and…
[laughs] …we don't even have a plan.

What are we going to do tomorrow?
Move in together?

Do you think we are rushing too much?

Yes, a bit, if I'm honest.

Not because I'm not sure
of what I feel, but because--

As much as I love you, I'm not leaving
the Church just because of you.

What happened to my brother
has undermined my boss.

I still believe in God,
you know that, but…

I don't have the strength
for such a demanding commitment.

Nor the moral authority
to give advice about how to live.

A matter of principles.

So, please, don't feel guilty.

Love and guilt must never go together.

[laughs]

I just want to be with you, Álex.

And I want to be with you.

I don't care about the rest.

Come.

Manuela, what are you doing?

We just talked about being together.

Yes… [stammers]
Being together as in being together?

-Of course, I'm dying to do it.
-Wait, wait, wait.

Don't you want to?

Of course.
It's the only thing I think about.

Then? [laughs]

I can't.

Not yet.

I'm still a priest.

I took my vows,
and I must respect them. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

We should have talked about it earlier.

No. Forgive me.

You are sacrificing so much
that the least I can do is…

wait. [laughs]

[Álex] I'll try to make it happen
as soon as possible.

No rush.

I'll wait for as long as I have to.

-[♪ romantic instrumental music playing]
-I love you with all my soul, Manuela.

I love you more.

[♪ music concludes]

[birds chirping]

[Núñez] Good afternoon, Paloma.

-How are you?
-Hi.

-Is the exhumation done?
-No. It'll be in a few hours.

Ah. And why are you here?
My mom is in the house.

No, I wanted to talk to you.

Ah.

What do you remember
about your mom's death?

I mean, about the days after the accident.

Well, I was a teenager,
and I was in shock.

I don't remember anything.

Why do you think she faked her death?

I just know what she's told us.

The same thing she said
this morning at the station.

Right. Would you mind repeating it?

[sighs]

She was in a pretty messy situation and…

she preferred to disappear
instead of making her family suffer.

Not difficult to understand.

Frankly, it is.

My mother died when I was eight and…

I think the disappearance of a mother
is the worst suffering there is.

Even more so if she does it
of her own free will.

She didn't commit any crime.

It was the coroner and her family.

Right. I know that version,
but unfortunately,

I can't confirm it.

All the people involved have passed away.

-Ah.
-That's right.

The coroner took the secret to the grave,
and I can't help but ask myself

what made him
get himself into such a mess.

I don't know.
It's all a bit odd, don't you think?

If you have a specific accusation,
go ahead and say it.

Otherwise, please,

please, let us get our mother back.

Would it be that easy?

-[♪ reflective instrumental music playing]
-Yes.

That easy.

Gracia and I don't care
about why she left.

A matter of survival, I guess.

What matters to us
is that, after 20 years, she's back.

Now that she's here,
we want to start from scratch.

[sighs] Good luck with that.

I hope there are no surprises
in the cemetery

that can spoil your family reunion.

Goodbye.

Hi.

Hi. I was about to call you.
Will you have lunch here?

-Yes. By the way, so crazy.
-[♪ music concludes]

I was coming back from school
with Lucas and Julia,

and do you know who we bumped into?

Emilio Molina and his resurrected wife.

-[♪ tense instrumental music playing]
-[Lucía] Yes. Laura seems really cool.

She's got like a hippie vibe.

-We don't talk about her in this house.
-What? Unbelievable.

-Why would you care about that poor woman?
-You don't learn, child.

With the Molinas once again?

Haven't you had enough?

What's gotten into you?
Are you losing it or what?

Nobody talks to me like that
in this house.

Go to your room.

Don't look at me like that.

She was disrespectful.

[♪ music concludes]

It's like she never left.
I don't know, really. [laughs]

I guess it's because we've been friends
since we were kids, I suppose.

I don't know why all of you
are so excited about that woman's return.

It seems kind of fishy to me.

I'm sorry, my day sucked.

Tano told me.

Is it true that you punched each other?

Miguel, I'm your mother.

But what's Tano thinking?

-Has he gone mad?
-[♪ emotional instrumental music playing]

[Miguel] Marrying Gracia?

That's a stab in the back.

He admits it was rushed.

But what are you worried about?

Him or your hurt pride?

Son, as much as it stings,

the sooner you accept it,
the better it is for everyone.

They are in a relationship,
whether you like it or not.

-Why are you talking to me that way?
-[Silvia] It is what it is.

I just want my sons to make peace.

And for that,
you must respect Tano's decisions.

-I can assure you that he'll suffer.
-[Silvia] Only time will tell.

Besides, he's old enough
to put up with whatever the future brings.

I really don't know you anymore.

I'll take it as a compliment.

Because, you know what?

I made a mistake
sticking my nose into your lives.

Especially when it came to Gracia.

I won't make the same mistake.

And you've seen the light
now that she's with Tano?

Better late than never.

And let me tell you something else.

We are done blaming Gracia
for everything. That's not fair.

In fact, Tano seems happier than ever.

Sure. And what about me, hmm?

You are married to Esther.

Not long ago, you told me
that you had forgotten Gracia,

that you were with Esther,
that you loved her

and that you were happy.

And now I'm realizing that's not true.

And what can I do?

First, Lucas, and now this.

She could be my sister-in-law
and the mother of my son at the same time.

If she marries Tano, he'll be
more of a father to Lucas than me.

But what's all that nonsense?

You are his father,
and you always will be.

Besides, you are getting ahead of yourself
with that wedding. It's just hypothetical.

Mom, after what Gracia did to me?

She'll crush Tano. She doesn't love him.

I have no reason to say she doesn't.

Son, I'm sorry, but you have to accept it.

Do you know why Gracia left me?

Do you know why we are not together today?

Paca blackmailed her.

She threatened to expose
that I was Lucas' father.

And said she'd report me for Dad's death.

What?

She told her that, either she left me,

or I'd go to prison.

-[♪ music concludes]
-[huffs] Damned computer…

Who can understand this crap?

Mom, no need
to take it out on the computer.

Or Lucía. Or me.

I understand that Laura's return
affects you, but you need to get over it.

This has nothing to do with that woman.

Right…

That's why you can't even say her name?

[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

We've all felt vulnerable
at some point in our lives.

And it's nothing to be ashamed of.

It's not that I feel vulnerable,
it's just that…

I don't even recognize myself.

I don't know what's happening to me.

[Esther] You're just human, Mom,
that's what's happening to you.

I think about her all the time.

Day and night.

I even went to San Luis to see her,
but I couldn't get near her.

I stared at her
from a distance, like a fool.

She's stuck in here.

I can't breathe.

It feels like I'm going to break.

If anyone understands you, it's me.

The more you love, the more you suffer.

And there's no medicine for that.

Luckily, you are acting with good sense.

You are handling Miguel and Tano
in a very rational way.

I'd better.

-But it's very different.
-[♪ music fading]

[Esther] Laura came back from the dead.
And it's not a figure of speech.

-Now it's me who wants to die.
-Mom, don't say that.

The pain will go away.
I know from experience.

[sniffles] Anyway, enough with the drama.

I'm going to get some air.

[♪ suspenseful instrumental music playing]

Well, well!

Laura Montalbo's new best friend.

News spreads fast.

Especially bad news.

What's next?

Will you become Emilio Molina's bestie?

Did you threaten Gracia with telling
Miguel that Lucas was his son?

All this time, you knew I had a grandson,
and you didn't say anything!

No.

-I found out when she came back to town.
-Liar!

And, to make things worse, you told her
that Miguel had killed Fernando

and that he'd go to prison.
Are you going to deny that too?

But what did you want with that lie?

Break them up
so that Miguel married Esther?

Let me remind you
that both of us wanted that.

But, as usual,
I was in charge of accomplishing it.

Yes, sure.
You are always in charge of everything

to make sure you get what you want.
That's the only thing you care about!

We'll talk when you calm down.

I've always defended you
in front of everybody else

when they said that you were
a manipulative, selfish witch,

that you were worse than the plague,
among other terrible things!

I would defend you
because I was your friend!

Your only friend!

-[♪ music concludes]
-But it turns out they were right.

No, they weren't right, they fell short.

[pants]

You are blowing things out of proportion.

Listen carefully, Paca.

[breathes heavily]

I'll never forgive you.

You are dead to me.

You hear me? Dead!

[♪ somber instrumental music playing]

What's all that screaming?

-Mom, are you okay?
-[Paca sobs]

-Mom?
-[Paca cries inconsolably]

[♪ music concludes]

Hi.

Are you here for Lucas?
He has to work on a paper for tomorrow.

No, I'm here to see you,
to ask you not to marry Tano.

Of all the guys in the world,
you're marrying my brother?

Um… look, Miguel.

You are not in love with him.
We both know it.

You are coming to my house to tell me
what to do, what I feel and don't feel?

Who do you think you are?

You'll crush him
just because you want to hurt me.

Wow, such a huge ego.

I don't mean to hurt you
with my relationship with Tano, Miguel.

Stop that resentful
and spoiled brat attitude.

Then, why Tano? Answer me.

Now you give me orders. Unbelievable.

See? You can't answer because,
deep down, you have no feelings for him.

Of course I do. And you know why?

Because everything is easy with him.

He makes me laugh,
he gives me peace, happiness.

I feel loved. I feel safe.

There's no toxicity, no suffering,
no debts from the past, nothing.

We are two adults
who enjoy each other's company.

Being with Tano is easy, Miguel.

It's simple.

It's beautiful. Everything flows.

And do you know what that is?

Love.

And I'll tell you something else,

don't you ever get close to my mom again.

I'll say it for the last time,

get out of my life, Miguel.
