Lo que la vida me robó (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 28 - Arribo del Capitán - full transcript
♪♪♪
- I don't think
Antonio will come back.
Alejandro will appoint me
as his new foreman.
- Why are you so sure
he'll give you the job?
- I'm taking care of it.
That's why I need you
to do your part, Maria.
I want you to talk Alejandro
into hiring me.
You owe me many favors.
And what would be fair?
For you to help me, right?
- Okay, Uncle.
I'll talk to him.
But don't get too cocky.
I think Antonio will come back.
- It will be worse
for him if he does.
I'll find a way
to get rid of him.
Pick up everything,
I want my house to be clean.
Bye.
- I've been thinking, and...
I want you to forget about
what I asked you.
- You don't want me to talk
to my guy in the Agua Azul
police department?
- No. Not anymore.
- Does that mean I can spend
more time at the ranch?
- Victor.
I heard about the wagon.
Wasn't it a bit much?
You're playing with fire.
- Remember when I talked to you
and tried to convince you not
to go after Montserrat?
This is exactly the same.
Yes, yes, yes.
I know I might be messing it
up, but I won't take it back,
no matter what you say.
- But--
- You know better than anyone.
- But--
- Good evening.
[Alejandro] Good evening.
[Victor] Good evening.
- Victor.
I thought you were going back
to Agua Azul today.
- Yes, yes.
I was, but Alejandro thinks
it would be good if I spent
a few days here,
since there's no foreman.
And while we wait to hear from
Antonio Olivares, I should stay
and help him with everything.
- Alejandro, can you come
with me for a minute, please?
- I'm busy, Maria.
- It's very important.
It's about Antonio Olivares.
[Alejandro]
Please excuse me.
I'll be right back.
What is it?
Why did you bring me here?
- I thought you'd be interested
in something
I found here in the desk.
- What is it?
- I think you should read this.
Antonio wrote it
before he disappeared.
It's a message for your wife.
[Antonio] "Montserrat, you know
I have to leave right away,
but I have to see you
before I go.
I'll wait for you by
the lily pond. Don't be late."
- This note isn't signed,
Maria.
How do you know
Antonio wrote it?
- Compare it with these notes.
Your foreman wrote it.
It's the same handwriting.
You can't deny it.
- Don't tell anyone about this,
Maria. Am I clear?
- You don't need to say it.
I would never--
- Am I clear?
- Yes, Alejandro.
Don't worry.
- Don't come in here again
without permission.
Let me remind you, this is
no longer your house.
[Adolfito]
Yes. Okay.
Talk to you later.
- Who was that?
- My brother-in-law.
- And? Did they spread
the word?
- No. No.
Your family and the Valverde
family are being very discreet.
- So why did you call him?
- Because I wanted to find
my sister to ask her for money.
But where do you think she is?
- Honestly? I don't care.
- Nadia is visiting your sister
at Almonte's ranch.
- What's weird about that?
They're friends.
- We need money,
Dimitrio.
We have to go to your
brother-in-law's ranch
and get what we can.
You from your sister and me
from mine. And problem solved,
we'll go to Brazil.
[phone ringing]
- [sighs] It's Josefina again.
- Uh-huh.
Let me see that.
Give it here.
[Dimitrio]
What are you doing?
No, no. Wait--
- You know they can trace us
through these things?
[phone ringing]
- I bet it's Josefina.
You know what you have to do.
- No, but-- this--this
one can't be taken apart.
- No? Let me see.
There you go.
[sighs]
- It can't be.
Why are neither of them
answering?
- It's weird.
[laughs]
[phone dialing]
[phone ringing]
- Loreto, it's me.
[Loreto] Who?
- What do you mean, who?
Me, Juventino.
[Loreto]
What happened?
- Nothing.
Uh...
Mr. Medina asked me
to watch his wife
while she's here at the ranch.
And she's spent all her time
with one of Alejandro's workers.
Some dude who wears a vest.
It's ridiculous.
His name is Victor Hernandez.
- Are you sure about that?
- I'm sure.
He sent her flowers.
I'm watching them now.
They're right there.
Look at them.
Look at them.
They're giddy with laughter.
Do you want me to do anything?
- No, no. Nothing.
Just keep watching her.
It's best if Mr. Medina doesn't
know about this until we're
absolutely sure there's
something going on between them.
Let me know if anything happens.
- Over and out.
- It's great to
see Nadia so happy.
Being here at
the ranch is good for her.
- Nadia.
Come with me.
- Excuse me.
What is it?
- Can I give you some advice?
I think you should go back
to your husband.
- Why do you say that,
Ms. Carlota?
- Are you interested in Victor?
- No, of course not.
- Good. But he is
very interested in you.
So please don't bring
anymore problems to my niece
than she already has and
end this already.
- What did you say to Nadia?
She left looking tense.
- Did you see the wagon
outside?
- Yes. The one
filled with flowers?
- Victor gave it to Nadia.
And when a man does something
like that for a woman,
it's because he's interested.
I just asked Nadia
to be careful.
[sighs]
What could your husband
be doing still in his study?
- I don't know.
You know what? I'll ask him
if he wants some coffee.
[knock on door]
- What are you doing?
- I need to go over some
papers.
- Do you want some coffee?
- You're so kind to me lately.
- Do you want coffee,
yes or no?
- No, thank you.
- Okay. Then I won't take
anymore of your time.
- Don't you want to know
what Maria told me?
- I heard
it's about Antonio Olivares.
Did he turn up?
- Are you worried about him?
- The same as you
and everyone here.
- I hope nothing bad
happened to him.
I liked him.
- Really?
Why?
- Because he's a serious
person, a man of few words.
But he's good at his work, and
I won't forget he saved my life.
Besides, you liked him, right?
- Yes.
- The other day...
When you were both here
in the study...
What were you talking about?
- I don't remember.
- Maria told me you went to
his house once looking for him.
Is that true?
- Yes, I guess.
I probably needed something.
- What?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
- You don't remember or you
don't want to tell me?
- What's this about?
Are you interrogating me?
- And if I am, so what?
Don't I have a right to ask?
- You're always talking about
rights and responsibilities.
- What else can I talk to you
about? Tell me.
About affection? Understanding?
Loyalty? Love?
- You promised you'd trust me.
- I made a mistake.
Because I can't,
Montserrat.
I can't trust you.
- That's too bad.
Because I'd really like us
to get along.
But you...
Make things even harder.
Have a good night.
- Where is everybody?
- They went to bed.
- Do you want a drink?
- No, thank you.
I already had one.
- If Antonio Olivares isn't
back by tomorrow, I want you to
hire someone to look for him.
- Okay.
- That's it. Go get some rest.
- You don't want some company?
- No. I'd rather be alone.
- Have a good night.
- You too.
- Nadia.
What are you doing here?
- I was waiting for you.
Don't get close.
You said you were leaving.
Why are you still here?
- Because of you.
- Please leave, Victor.
- No.
- I know I should be
the one to leave.
That that's what I have to do.
But I'm not
strong enough to do it.
Besides, I don't want
to go back to Agua Azul yet.
- Then stay.
- I won't be okay
if you stay here too.
I can't go on like this, Victor.
When I sit down...
You sit next to me.
When I talk, you answer.
When I go for a walk...
You meet me outside.
I blush when I'm with you,
and everyone notices.
Please leave.
Leave.
I'm begging you.
- Really?
Is that what you want?
- What do you want me to say?
That I don't want you to leave?
I can't say that, Victor.
I can't. I can't.
No, no.
- Are you drinking by yourself?
Aren't you going to share?
- I didn't know
you liked mescal.
- Just a sip,
to keep you company.
Wow.
You don't look so good.
It's understandable.
Mmm.
Am I bothering you?
- No.
- I think what you need is
to get drunk.
I've never seen you drunk.
I wonder what you're like.
Happy?
Passionate?
[chuckles] Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Here.
[knock on door]
- Come in.
- Here's your tea, ma'am.
- Thank you, Rosario.
Thank you.
Do you know if my husband
went to bed already?
- No, ma'am.
He's in the living room.
- With Maria.
- Yes.
- What are they doing?
- They're talking.
That girl is mean, ma'am.
I'm scared she'll mess with you.
You don't love the boss, right?
- Rosario, he's my husband.
I care about him.
- But you don't love him.
Why?
[sighs]
- It's a long story, Rosario.
I'd like to get along with him,
but Alejandro is a very
difficult man.
He's...
Controlling, violent.
I'm scared of him.
I'm not myself
when I'm with him.
- Why don't you tell him
what you're telling me?
Why don't you explain to him
how you feel?
Alejandro is a good man.
I know he'll understand.
- Rosario, are you sure you
didn't know Alejandro's mother?
- No, ma'am.
I didn't know her.
- She was a farmer.
She had your same name.
- Oh, I didn't know.
- No?
I find it strange that you
didn't meet her.
Because she worked
for Benjamin Almonte too.
She lived here
at the same time you did.
Something doesn't fit, Rosario.
I don't know why, but I think
you did know Alejandro's mother.
Why don't you want to tell me?
When did that woman die?
What did she die of?
- I don't know anything, ma'am.
Can I go?
- Yes, okay.
You can leave.
- Have a good night.
[Montserrat]
You too.
And thank you.

- Remember when we used to
climb the trees to eat fruit?
[laughs]
- I remember your mom
grounding you.
[Maria]
Yes, remember?
Maria, get down from there.
[laughs]
- We had so much fun.
- Yes, yes.
- Those were good times.
I miss our horseback rides.
- Yes.
- Alejandro.
You've distanced yourself
from me.
We used to go everywhere
together.
- Yes, but things changed.
- And can't we make things...
Like they were before?
Alejandro, I care about you.
I like being with you.
- Yes, me too.
- I really care about you.
- Thank you.
- [Dominga] Enjoy.
- Everything is great.
- Thank you, Dominga.
- Excuse me.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
- Enjoy.
[Victor]
Hello.
Where's Nadia?
- She went back to Agua Azul.
She left early today.
- Alex, I just called
the factory and apparently
one of the machines broke.
[Alejandro]
You don't say.
Really?
- Yes, I have to go to Agua Azul
right away to fix this.
We can't stop production.
- Of course not.
We'd lose too much money.
Please be careful.
- Yes, don't worry.
I'll leave right away.
- No, but wait.
Eat something.
Don't leave
with an empty stomach.
- No, thank you, Maria.
I'm not hungry anymore.
- Mmm.
I don't think I'll need a
worker to take me to town.
I can go with you, right?
- Sure. Don't take too long.
- My suitcase is packed.
Can you get it for me?
I really want to finish
my breakfast, it's delicious.
- Thank you.
I hope you had a good time here
with us despite everything.
- Yes, thanks to you and your
wife. You were very nice to me.
[phone ringing]
I'm sorry.
Hello.
Zulemita, I was
just about to call you.
Tell the owner not to worry,
I'll be there to dance.
Victor and I are about to leave
for Agua Azul.
- Thank you, Esmeralda.
Take care.
[Refugio]
What did she say?
- We can go to the ranch.
Victor Hernandez is leaving.
[laughs]
- When we go back to the ranch,
what will you tell Alejandro...
When he asks where we were?
- Nothing.
- What do you mean, nothing?
- Nothing.
[Rosario]
Ma'am.
Antonio Olivares is back.
- Thank you, Rosario.
- I thought...
You'd be surprised.
Did you know the foreman was
coming back?
- Does Alejandro know?
- Maria just told him.
He went to his house right away.
- He's coming.
- What?
- He's coming.
- What do we do?
- Keep your mouth closed.
Not a word. Let me do
the talking, okay?
Here, take this.
Act like you're working.
- Well.
You're finally back.
I'm glad you're okay.
What happened?
Where were you?
- Alejandro, I told you
I was taking the weekend off to
take care of a personal matter.
- And I asked you to stay here
to receive the breeding stock.
- I'm sorry, but Juventino
could do that without a problem.
My thing was urgent.
- Can I know
what it was about?
- It's a private matter and...
I don't want to talk about it.
- Okay. We all have private
matters, but...
I don't agree with you leaving
your job without my permission
and without telling anyone.
- We were very worried
about you.
We thought something bad had
happened to you.
- Alejandro, I apologize.
It won't happen again.
But when I went to tell you...
You were busy, you had company,
and I didn't want to bother you.
But...
Again, I'm sorry.
Now, if you want to fire me,
you have every right.
- I won't fire you, Antonio.
It's not that bad.
And, really,
I'm glad nothing bad happened.
- Good.
Right.
Thank you.
- I'll see you later.
- See you later.
- Excuse me.
- See?
He wasn't even mad.
- No.
- You should've fired him,
Alejandro. Or at least demand
he tell you why he left.
- Antonio is my employee, yes.
But he's entitled
to have a private life.
And if he doesn't want to tell
me why he left like that,
there's no point in me asking,
he'll tell me whatever he wants.
- What about the message
he wrote to your wife?
You're not going to ask him?
- Listen, Maria.
If you want us to get along,
stop meddling
where you don't belong.
- What happened, niece?
Why were you arguing?
- Forget about being
the new foreman.
Antonio Olivares is back.
[Alejandro]
The foreman just got back.
- Really?
What did he tell you?
Why did he leave?
- Because of a personal matter.
- That man is back
at the ranch and he--
- My aunt has been saying
she's mad about the way he left,
without letting anyone know.
- Yes. That's right.
I thought it was disrespectful.
- Alejandro.
A car is arriving.
- I'll go see who it is.
- Yes.
Excuse me.
- But, why did he come back?
- I don't know, Aunt.
I have no idea. I don't know.
- Alejandro.
How are you?
I'm sorry we didn't tell you
we were coming, we wanted to
surprise you and my sister.
- Yes.
It's a surprise.
- Remember my friend?
Adolfo Arguelles?
- It's great to see you.
Congratulations.
Your ranch is truly amazing.
Where's Monse? How is she?
I'd like to say hello to her.
- She's here, right?
Can I come in?
[Alejandro]
Yes, come in.
- Sister,
Aunt.
[Carlota]
Darling.
[laughs]
What a surprise to see you here.
How are you?
- Great, and you?
- What happened, Dimitrio?
Why are you here?
Did something happen to dad?
- No, dad is fine.
What?
I can't come to visit?
- Well--
[Adolfo] Yes, yes. Can't we?
Can't we? How--
how are you, Montserrat?
I'm so dumb.
So dumb.
How are you going to be?
As beautiful as ever.
Gorgeous.
- No, Adolfo. Put me down.
- My beautiful lady.
My beautiful lady, how are you?
- How are you, Adolfo?
[laughs]
- You look recovered.
- Oh, honey. All we do here
is sleep and eat.
- I can see that.
- How long are you staying?
[Dimitrio]
I don't know. About...
Two weeks?
- Montserrat.
Please come.
- Yes. Yes.
Right away.
- You look great. [laughs]
- You too, Aunt.
- Montserrat, I don't want
your brother to stay here.
- Neither do I.
- Oh, great.
I'm glad we finally
agree on something.
Will you tell him
or would you rather I did?
- I'll tell him.
- You don't want your brother
to stay because of what
Esmeralda said.
- And because of what my mom
told us that time we talked
with her.
- Does that mean you're
starting to trust me?
- Yes.
- What? What do you mean,
my sister isn't here anymore?
She's one of the reasons we came
all the way here.
- No, Adolfo. Nadia went back
to Agua Azul today.
- That's too bad. I would've
loved seeing my sister.
- I know.
- Yes.
- I'll ask them to bring you
some lemon water.
- My beautiful lady.
- You're all sweaty, right?
- Uh-huh.
- The heat is unbearable.
- Yes, thank you.
- Not too much sugar, Aunt.
- Yes.
- Hey.
Your brother-in-law wasn't happy
we're here.
He was a bit grumpy, wasn't he?
- Yes, but...
He'll suck it up.
He won't kick us out. He'll let
us stay at least for a few days.
As soon as I get my sister alone
for a while, I'll ask for money.
- I like it.
- Yes.
She's scared.
- Hello.
He--
- What are you doing here?
[Alejandro]
Antonio.
Wait.
Please, come with me.
- I need to talk to you, okay?
We'll be right back, Adolfo.
- Put the jug on the table.
I'll serve it.
Ask Dominga to please make us...
Something to eat, a snack.
[sighs]
Where's my nephew?
- He's with Montserrat.
They'll be right back.
[Maria]
I can't stand her.
Nosy old hag.
I hope she doesn't think I'll
stand her treating me like
a maid, because I'm not one.
I'll tell Alejandro
when he comes back.
- He'll get tired of you
if you keep bothering him.
- I don't bother him.
It's the opposite.
He likes having me around.
- Rosario.
Please watch the pot, okay?
I'll go get some herbs
for the beans.
- They guys who arrived are
cute, aren't they?
- I haven't seen them.
- One is Ms. Montserrat's
brother, and the other one...
Has pretty eyes.
What?
Do you think they'll stay long?
- I have no idea.
- Why don't you ask the lady,
without telling her I asked?
[Renato]
Hello.
- What do you want, Renato?
- I...
Wanted to ask if you could
make me something to eat,
I'm starving.
[Rosario]
Have a seat.
I'll make you some quesadillas.
- What was it Antonio
had to take care of?
- Ask him.
- Did you know Alejandro
found a message
the foreman
wrote for the lady?
Ooh. What's with the faces?
Right.
You probably know what's up
with Antonio and Ms. Montserrat.
Right?
- Stop being so nosy.
You could regret it someday.
- Are you threatening me,
Rosario?
Can't you see
I could get Alejandro
to fire you just by asking?
- She's... Very bad-tempered,
isn't she?
- She's terribly rude.
- Do you think
what she said is true?
- You tell me.
Do you know if Antonio wrote
a message for Ms. Montserrat?
- Yes.
- Well, you already heard
that the boss found it.
That man has no idea
what he's getting himself into.
You shouldn't have come back.
- We couldn't talk when I went
to your house a while ago.
And it's because
we weren't alone.
But there's something
I need you to explain,
and you working
for me depends on it.
- Ask me anything.
- I found...
This note on your desk.
It's a message you wrote
for my wife.
- Alejandro, this isn't
what you think.
- And according to you,
what am I thinking?
That message was to tell
Montserrat you were leaving
and ask her to meet you
at the lily pond to talk.
Why?
- Listen.
I'll tell you the truth
because you're entitled
to know what's happening.
And it's time
I told the truth.
- Okay. I'm listening.
- Look, me coming to your ranch
looking for a job as a foreman
is not a coincidence. That...
That was just
a convenient excuse.
- Then why are you here?
- I'm here...
Because I'm in love
with a woman.
[Montserrat] You're not
welcome here, Dimitrio.
[Dimitrio]
Why?
[Montserrat]
You have to ask?
Alejandro knows all the things
you and mom did
so I would agree to marry him.
And I'm not just mad at you.
I'm scared too, Dimitrio.
Everything you did
against Jose Luis.
- Jose Luis.
That's what we need
to talk about.
- Yes.
Of course.
You don't know who was here
this weekend, do you?
Esmeralda Ramos.
- Esmeralda?
- [sighs]
You know her,
and you know her well.
Alejandro made her come here
and tell me everything.
Tell me.
When did you come up
with such a huge lie?
- Whatever.
I was doing you a favor
taking that man off your back.
- Blaming him for a crime
he didn't commit?
- What?
What are you talking about?
- Uh-huh.
Alejandro made mom tell us
the whole truth.
- And what did she say?
- That the one responsible
for Bruno Gamboa's death...
Is you, Dimitrio.
You.
- With...
our love is honest, and it
started before I came to work
here at the ranch, but...
It was a forbidden love
from the beginning.
Her family was
the biggest obstacle.
I just want to say...
When I came here,
all I wanted was to see her
and fight for her.
These past days I wasn't here...
I didn't go anywhere.
I was hiding in a hut by
the river, waiting for her.
- So...
It was you?
You were in the hut
with Angelica Arechiga.
[laughs]
Of course.
Of course, now I understand.
She's who you're
talking about, right?
I imagine you're surprised to
find out I know about your
relationship with her, but...
Just yesterday I heard her
talking with her sister, and...
She ended up confessing she was
in that hut with her boyfriend.
But I never thought it was you.
Antonio, please...
Don't worry. I promised Angelica
I wouldn't tell her parents.
- Alejandro, no, no. Wait.
Wait. You asked me to explain
why I wrote that message for
Montserrat,
and I'm going to tell you.
- She knows
you're Angelica's boyfriend.
Listen.
I know you and my wife have
talked privately a few times.
But now I understand why.
Let me tell you something.
You have no idea the things
that went through my mind.
- Alejandro.
I can't keep working for you.
- Oh, please.
Don't be silly.
Regardless of the reason why
you took the job as the ranch's
foreman, I have no complaints
about your work.
And I owe you, Antonio.
You saved my life.
- Trust me, when I say you
don't owe me anything,
I mean you don't
owe me anything.
- I wasn't born rich, Antonio.
I started from the bottom just
like you, and...
I know what it's like to fall
in love with a woman whose
supposedly out of our league.
So don't worry.
Starting today, I want you
to think of me as your friend,
not your boss.
You have my support
and my discretion.
- Mom told us that that man
threatened you with a gun
and you fought
with him to take it.
And at that moment...
The gun was fired.
And that's why that man died.
- How could mom betray me?
How could she betray me?
- I don't understand
how you could
use that to frame Jose Luis.
- What did your husband tell
mom to get her to talk?
- I have no idea.
- You know what?
He gave her money. He gave
mom money. Mom sold me out.
- Are you surprised?
Mom thought I had a price,
why wouldn't you have one too?
Don't worry.
Alejandro and I won't talk about
any of this with the police.
Just as long...
As you leave the ranch today.
- I won't leave,
Montserrat.
And you'd better
not do anything against me,
because you'll be the one
who loses.
- How dare you threaten me?
You're shameless, Dimitrio.
- Shameless?
Me? Shameless?
You're the one who has her
ex-boyfriend living with her.
- What?
- Yes, don't play dumb.
I saw him going into your
husband's study,
who, by the way,
thinks his name is Antonio.
Let's talk now that everything's
out in the open.
- Listen.
I thought you didn't know him,
but it's true.
You saw us together at the pier
that time.
Dimitrio--
- Yes, I know him. I know him
well. Now, you are--
you are unbelievable.
It turns out the pretty one,
the beautiful one, the one
who makes sacrifices has her
ex-boyfriend living in her
newlywed home. Sis...
You're amazing.
- No, but I swear, Dimitrio.
I swear I have nothing to do
with that. I swear.
I'm begging you, please don't
tell Alejandro any of this.
- No, don't worry. Don't worry.
I won't tell him.
As long as you give me...
Some things.
- What things?
- Money.
- Money, Dimitrio?
I don't have any money.
- No, you don't.
But your husband...
Has a lot of it.
[Refugio]
Jose Luis.
Jose Luis.
I told you we
shouldn't have come back.
Maria told me
Alejandro found
the note you left for
Montserrat.
And that guy, that guy,
is starting to get suspicious.
- Calm down, Refugio.
Calm down. I just came back
from talking to him about that.
- Did you confront him?
What did you say to him?
- I decided to tell him
everything.
I told him who I am
and why I'm here.
I told him...
I came to this ranch to fight
for a woman's love.
- And what did he do? What--
what did he say? Did he hit you?
Or did he take it calmly?
- No.
No, he thought I was talking
about Angelica, not Montserrat.
- I don't know if you're lucky.
Maybe you should've let
everything blow out once
and for all.
Damn it, Jose Luis.
- This gets worse
and worse, Refugio.
It's one lie
after another and another.
This will end badly.
- I told you we shouldn't
have come back, Jose Luis.
Your stubbornness will end up
killing us both.
- There's more.
- More?
- Yes.
Dimitrio just got here.
- God save us all.
That fool won't
keep his mouth shut.
- It doesn't matter.
If I lie, I have to face
the consequences.
That's the price
I have to pay, Refugio.
I'm just worried about
what Alejandro could do
to Montserrat
once he finds out.
[sighs]
I have to protect her.
I have to get her out of here.
Even if I have to force her,
I'll get her out of here.
♪♪♪
- Why did you come back, fool?
- That's none of your business.
- You shouldn't have come.
And don't get comfortable
because you won't be here long.
I would start looking for
another job if I were you.
- I'm not the one who should
be worried, because you're
the one who won't last long.
- We'll see
who comes out on top.
- My brother recognized you.
He knows perfectly well who you
are and he's asking for a lot
of money to keep his mouth shut.
What are we going to do?
[sighs]
- We should've asked ourselves
that a long time ago.
Let's go.
Montserrat,
don't think about it.
- You lied to me.
- Let's get out of here.
- You told me--
lies, Jose Luis.
- Okay.
What are you talking about?
- Esmeralda Ramos.
You know her, and you also knew
that it was Dimitrio who hired
her, but you let me think it was
Alejandro's fault.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
but I didn't lie to you.
We never talked about that
again. You don't know--
- You could have told me.
- What for?
Huh? What for?
So you could get closer to
Alejandro and start seeing him
differently? For that?
You used to hate him.
Montserrat.
Tell me the truth.
Have your feelings
towards him changed?
- Esmeralda...
Told me where you were hiding.
And I went looking for you
like the fool.
I saw you with her, Jose Luis.
I saw you with Angelica,
and you were kissing.
- Now you're questioning me?
Yes.
Yes, I met her a few days ago,
and I think she's a nice girl,
very pretty--
- Yes, very pretty. Yes.
- Yes, exceptionally pretty.
But there's nothing
between her and me.
- That's not what I saw.
- Montserrat, please.
It was a kiss. A little peck.
That doesn't mean
anything to me.
- I don't know what I'm doing.
I have no right to ask you any
of this. I'm sorry.
- No, no. Yes.
Yes, ask me.
I like that you're asking.
I love that you're jealous.
- No, no. You know what?
- You still love me.
- You should do that.
Look for someone...
Meet someone and give her a
chance, because you deserve it.
And I have nothing to offer you.
- Montserrat, you're asking me
to do something I can't.
Really. You're asking something
impossible.
Look at me.
I can't imagine my life
without you.
Honey, you're burned into...
My heart, my mind, everywhere.
- I wish I didn't feel
the things I feel
when I kiss you, Jose Luis.
You completely disarm me.
I'm weak when I'm with you.
- Yes.
See? Let's go.
- No, I can't go. Please
understand I can't go with you.
- You can't stay here.
Your brother could expose us,
Monse.
- After everything my brother
did to me, I have no doubt
he'll tell Alejandro everything.
I don't know what I'll do
if I don't get the money.
- That's exactly why, honey.
Let's get out of here.
- You go, Jose Luis.
Leave without me.
- Please.
You know perfectly well you're
asking something crazy,
Montserrat.
You think I'm not jealous?
Every time I think you're
starting to have feelings for
Alejandro, I go crazy.
Can't you see? I go crazy.
It clouds my mind.
While you sleep with him,
I'm wide awake in that room.
It's torture, Monse.
I suffer and suffer.
I suffer all the time.
In fact...
We're leaving tonight.
Yes or no?
- Yes.
- Thank you so much. Really.
I promise, you won't regret it.
- I have to go.
Before someone starts wondering.
- Yes, yes, yes.
You're right. Wait here.
Wait here.
Juventino was around here.
Wait here.
- All the more reason.
I have to go.
- Montserrat.
You know this is the best
decision.
- Yes.
- Please.
Don't take it back.
- No, no, no.
That won't happen.
That won't happen.
- Yes, I'm sorry.
I love you.
Hear me?
Make no mistake.
I love you, honey.
Okay.
We'll meet...
We'll meet behind the range.
- Yes.
- Be careful.
- I don't understand how you
can forgive Antonio everything.
He leaves the ranch, stops doing his job,
then he comes back like
he never left. Who's the boss?
Him or you? You should fire him.
- Lower your tone.
Who are you to question
my decisions?
- Listen, Alejandro.
You...
Promised me I'd be the foreman.
- I didn't promise you anything,
Juventino.
I told you I'd think about it
if Antonio didn't come back.
But he's here now, so it's done.
- If I were you...
I'd think about it, Alejandro.
Because...
As far as I remember...
You owe me a favor.
- Are you threatening...
To tell my wife
about her mother's
relationship with Benjamin?
Keep your mouth shut for
your own good, Juventino.
I wouldn't want you to
lose your job.
- Are you sure?
You're not mistaken?
- Of course not.
I recognized him just then.
- I can't believe it.
What about Alejandro?
Isn't he worried?
- Alejandro doesn't know
anything.
- Listen.
How much money did you ask for?
- Enough to go to Brazil.
- You think Montserrat can get
that kind of money?
- That's her problem, not mine.
- What are you going to do
if she doesn't get it?
Tell her husband?
- What do you think?
- Well...
She's your sister, but
considering what you've told me,
if Alejandro finds out, given
his temper, he could kill her.
- No, man.
He won't kill her.
After what happened, my sister
knows I'm capable of anything.
That I don't care
about the consequences.
- Okay.
You know what you're doing.
Now...
If she takes her time coming up
with the money...
It's fine.
I don't mind staying here for
a couple of weeks.
Especially after seeing some of
the girls who work here.
They're beautiful.
- Really?
- Yes. I saw one a little while
ago who was not bad at all.
- You already like her?
- I have to do something
to entertain myself. I advise
you to do the same.
- Have her bring some friends.
- Right.
- Yes.
[laughs]
- What's up, Esther?
I'm here to see my husband.
- He's busy with someone right
now, ma'am.
But I'll tell him you're here.
- Thank you.
- Your wife is here and wants
to see you, sir.
Go ahead, ma'am.
You can go in.
- Thank you. Excuse me.
- Go ahead.
- Hello, honey.
- I didn't think you'd come
back from the ranch so soon.
- I got back this morning and
couldn't wait to come see you.
- Oh.
Did you miss me?
- A lot.
But I don't want to take too
much of your time.
Esther said you were busy
with someone.
- Yes, I am.
Look.
I think you two know each other.
Look.
She's Nadia, my wife.
This is Victor Hernandez.
- Nice to see you again, ma'am.
- How are you, Mr. Hernandez?
- Fine, thank you.
If I'd known you were coming
back to Agua Azul today,
I would've given you a lift.
- What?
You were at Almonte's ranch
this weekend too?
- Yes, yes. I was.
- I didn't think you'd be
coming back so soon.
- I'm in charge of Alejandro's
company and I can't be away for
too long. In fact, I'm here
discussing a company matter
with your husband.
- Why don't you come to our
house for dinner tomorrow?
That way we can talk better.
What do you think?
I hope you don't mind, honey.
- No. No, of course not.
It's okay.
- I recommend
you save your appetite.
My wife is an excellent cook.
- Ye--yes, right.
Even with the little time
I spent with her I realized
she's an amazing woman.
In every sense of the word.
- Then I'll see you tomorrow.
[Victor]
Great.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Nice to see you, ma'am.
- What's wrong, Nadia?
Are you okay?
- Yes.
I won't take anymore of your
time. See you at home tonight,
okay?
- You have to cook.
- Hello, gorgeous.
- Hello.
- I'm Adolfo.
And you?
- Maria.
- Oh. Of course. It's the
prettiest name there is.
That's why I can see why a girl
like you would be named that.
- Are you related to
Ms. Montserrat?
- No. I'm her brother's
friend and partner.
I'm a lucky man.
- Why?
- Because I didn't want to come
to this ranch, especially
considering I have my own.
But I'm happy.
I found a beautiful girl.
I've been all around the world,
you know?
Paris, London, Belgian Congo,
France, Kumala, New York.
And I'm not kidding.
I haven't seen many women with
eyes like yours.
I mean, I'd like us to become
friends while I'm here.
- Maybe Ms. Montserrat won't
like that idea.
- [laughs] I don't care what
Montserrat says.
You're very beautiful.
And now that I think about it...
I have a fine necklace.
A souvenir I brought from
Brazil. Pure platinum.
It would look great on you.
Around your sexy neck.
Can I give it to you?
- I don't know if that's okay.
- There's nothing wrong
with it.
I'll take it to your house
later.
Where do you live?
- At the main house.
- Then why don't you go to
my room tonight?
- Maybe somewhere else.
[Susana]
Will you eat, ma'am?
[Nadia]
No, thank you.
I'm not hungry.
- There's a man waiting for you
at the terrace.
- A man? Who?
- Hello.
- Thank you, Susana.
You can go.
- Can I get you some coffee?
- No.
He won't be staying long.
Wherever I go, whichever way
I look, there you are.
- You left the ranch without
saying good-bye
and you left me alone.
Wanting to kiss you.
Antonio Olivares' room,
please.
- I'm sorry. Mr. Olivares
checked out early this morning.
- Thank you.
Could he have gone back to
Almonte's ranch?
[knock on door]
- Come in.
- Honey.
- Hello.
- I'm going to
meet Alejandro Almonte.
Want to come with me?
- Yes, Daddy.
[laughs]
- Why are you crying?
- What are you doing to me?
- Nothing.
I just want to give you
a thousand reasons to smile.
I want...
To take the sadness out of your
eyes. I want...
I want you to be happy.
- By making me your mistress?
- No.
- And then what, Victor?
What will happen once you get me
in your bed?
I'll be just another conquest.
Me, on the other hand...
I won't be able to look myself
in the mirror
without feeling ashamed.
- No, no, no. I promise it's
not like that. That's not what
I want. I swear.
- You know that's what will
happen.
- No.
You're married to a man who--
- A man whom I love.
I really love him, Victor.
I want to try to
save my marriage.
You--you're like an illusion,
an adventure I'm not sure
I want to have.
- I-- I don't want to have fun,
Nadia. I swear.
- I don't believe you.
I don't believe you because
this is a game to you, Victor.
Why were you
at my husband's office?
Why did you say you'd come
to dinner?
Do you really not realize
you're putting me on the spot?
- I'm sorry.
I'll call his office
and cancel tomorrow's dinner.
- Thank you.
- But don't ask me to stop
seeing you.
- It's for the best.
It's for the best, Victor.
Don't push me.
Leave me alone.
I'm begging you.
- Did you talk to your brother?
- Yes.
- And?
- Uh...
I told him what we agreed on.
But Dimitrio asked if he could
stay at least for tonight,
and I had to say yes.
- Okay.
As long as he and his friend
leave tomorrow.
Montserrat.
Why didn't you tell me about
Antonio and Arechiga's daughter?
Did you really think I'd do
something against them?
You don't know me, Montserrat.
- Honestly? I usually don't
know what to expect from you.
- I know. The same thing
happens to me with you.
[door bell rings]
I'm very grateful Antonio
opened up to me.
I'd like to know how you became
their ally.
[Joaquin]
Good afternoon, Alejandro.
- Joaquin. We weren't expecting
you. Please come in.
- Welcome.
How are you?
- I'm sorry we came without
calling, but I wanted to know
if you have the information on
the ranch where you bought
the breeding stock.
- Oh, right.
I have it right here.
But...
The ranching fair will start
soon. I would wait.
You might be able
to buy livestock
at a better price than I got.
- Since you're going to discuss
boring things, I'd like to go
for a walk. Can I, Dad?
- Of course.
- Yes?
[Joaquin]
Go.
Don't go far.
- Why don't you go with her?
- Yes. Yes.
Of course.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Come to the study with me.
- Yes.
[Angelica]
You can't stand me, right?
- No, no. Not at all.
Why?
- You're very serious.
I really like you.
Considering...
- What?
- Considering I just met you.
- Oh.
My...
Husband told me you're our
foreman's girlfriend.
Is that true?
- Are you going to tell
my father?
- No.
Of course not. Don't worry.
- Oh.
Look, the truth is Antonio
isn't my boyfriend.
We're just friends.
- Oh.
- I think he's in love with
someone else.
- Really?
With whom?
- With you.
[Dimitrio]
Monse.
Aren't you going to introduce
us? I didn't know you had such
a beautiful friend.
- She's Angelica Arechiga.
She's the daughter
of one of our neighbors.
- Angelica, you're an angel.
- And you're the devil, right?
- My name is Dimitrio.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
I'll leave you.
I'll go say hello to a friend.
- A friend?
A friend? What? Does she have
a boyfriend? What friend?
- Why do you care, Dimitrio?
- We're leaving?
Does that mean we're finally
getting out of this place?
- That's right.
- Brother. Brother, you don't
know how happy I am we'll
finally get out of here.
And...
What did you tell Montserrat?
Did you say good-bye to her?
- No.
Montserrat is coming with us.
- She's--
[Angelica] Hello.
I'm glad you're back.
Now I'll be able to see you
all the time.
- I have to go do some things
inside.
- Uh...
Oh, Angelica. I'm glad to see
you, because I want to give you
back the money you...
You loaned me for the hotel.
- No, don't worry.
Really, I'm serious.
- Please take it.
Otherwise, I'll feel bad.
- Okay.
Fine.
Guess who I was talking with?
With Montserrat.
And she asked if we were dating.
- What did you tell her?
- That we weren't.
That we're just friends.
- Angelica, I don't want to be
rude, but you have to go.
We-- we-- we shouldn't be seen
together.
- Okay, I'll go. But...
Only if you promise to pick me
up tomorrow and take me for
a horseback ride.
- Promised.
- Great.
- Why didn't you say good-bye
to her?
Why didn't you tell her we're
leaving tonight?
- Don't you think?
The fewer people who know,
the better.
Huh?
Let's see.
What's in here?
- We'll see you at home
on Friday then.
- Yes. It'll be a pleasure,
Joaquin.
- Nice to meet you.
And of course you're invited too.
- Oh, thank you.
If I'm here, I'll come visit.
Thank you.
- Okay.
Where's my daughter now?
Don't tell me she disappeared
again.
- Apparently Angelica is very
restless.
- You have no idea.
[Angelica]
I'm here, Dad.
- Okay.
Good.
Say good-bye. We're leaving.
- Bye.
[Montserrat]
Bye. Take care.
- A pleasure to meet you,
Angelica.
- You too.
- I'll walk you out.
- Thank you.
- See you later.
- Angelica is very pretty,
isn't she?
- Very pretty.
I really like her.
I think if I'm still here on
Friday I can come with you to
the Arechiga's ranch, right?
- Dimitrio, first off,
get a grip.
And I don't want you to do
what you always do.
Stay away from Angelica.
- Annoy me. Go ahead.
Score some negative points.
- What?
- Don't talk to me like that.
Be careful. You know.
[sighs]
- Darling.
I know Dimitrio hasn't been nice
to you, but he's your brother.
You should make up with him.
- Aunt, you don't understand
anything. Anything.
- How can I understand if you
don't tell me what's happening?
[sighs]
[Nadia]
I'm glad you're home.
- Yes, I couldn't stay at
the office another minute.
I'm under a lot of pressure and
I'm very stressed out and tired.
- Okay. Let me give you
a back rub.
- No, no, no, no.
Don't worry.
A bath will do it.
- Come on, don't be silly.
You'll feel better and sleep
better.
You'll see.
- Victor Hernandez canceled
tomorrow's dinner.
- Okay.
- Tell me. Did you have a good
time at Almonte's ranch?
- I'd rather not talk about
anything right now.
Relax.
- What are you doing?
- I need you, Pedro.
Please.
Please, don't say no today.
I need you more than ever.
- Don't be ridiculous.
What part of "I'm tired" don't
you understand?
I'm going to take a bath.
I'll sleep in the other room.
- Montserrat.
What are you doing here?
- Nothing.
- What's with the suitcase?
- Please, Adolfo--
- Where are you going?
- Please don't say anything.
Please, I'm begging you.
- No, no, no.
It's okay, don't worry.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- What happened?
What was the lady doing here?
- [sighs] I don't know.
Getting some fresh air, I guess.
- Please, Pedro.
Pedro, I'm begging you.
Don't sleep in another room.
Don't. Not tonight.
Why are you like this with me?
Why won't you touch me?
Why don't you even kiss me?
Why can't you show me even
a little bit of love?
Answer me.
I need to understand why you're
like this with me.
- Leave me alone.
- I won't leave you alone until
you answer me.
Why don't you want me?
What's wrong?
Don't you like women?
- That's the--
stupidest thing you've said
in your entire life.
- Then...
What's your excuse for not
wanting to be with me?
[gasps]
- It's not that I don't like
women, Nadia.
I just don't like you.
You don't make me feel anything.
Nothing.
- And Monse?
Where is she?
[sighs]
- She didn't make it to the
meeting spot.
- What?
She got cold feet?
That woman doesn't want to be
involved with you, Jose Luis.
Maybe now you'll get it.
- Where did you leave the
truck?
- Near here.
Behind some bushes.
No one saw me take it.
So?
Are we leaving now?
- No.
We're going back to the ranch.
- What?
- What you heard.
- Are you this curious about
everything?
- Just when I'm interested
in something.
Or someone.
And I worry about anything that
has to do with Alejandro.
He's my best friend.
What was his wife doing here?
- Why don't you tell me what
took you so long?
I've been waiting for a while.
- I had things to do.
- Look.
Huh?
Here's the gift I promised you.
- Is it good quality?
- Of course.
There's more.
Let's see, gorgeous.
- No one ever gave me something
like this.
- Okay.
There's always a first time.
But you know what?
I would give a beautiful woman
like you ten thousand presents.
And I would kiss her all over.
Can I kiss you?
- No.
I think I'll wait and see
what you give me next.
- [gasps]
My God.
- They're beautiful,
aren't they?
- When did they arrive?
Who brought them?
- A boy.
Very early, ma'am.
- And...
Was there a card?
Did he say anything?
- Nothing, ma'am.
He just said it was very
important for these flowers to
face your window.
So you'd see them from your
balcony every day.
- What are you doing here,
Maria?
How dare you come into my room
like that?
- I just saw Rosario bringing
your morning juice and I offered
to bring it myself.
- Oh.
How kind.
I don't believe you.
- I want to talk to you.
I can't take not knowing where
you were going last night.
- I don't know what you're
talking about.
- Don't act dumb.
You left here with your
suitcase and everything.
- You saw me.
- What do you think?
You wanted to run away again,
right?
- Good morning, Montserrat.
Maria, what are you doing here?
- Are you going to tell him,
ma'am? Or should I?
♪♪♪
- I don't want you coming
in here and making my wife
uncomfortable.
You have nothing
to do in this room.
And just like I asked Montserrat
to show you respect and treat
you like a member of the family,
I'm going to ask you the same.
Respect Montserrat as my wife
and the lady of the house.
- You need to know--
- It's an order, Maria.
Get out of here right now.
Please...
Forgive me, Montserrat.
- For what?
- Because I didn't listen to
you when you complained about
Maria.
But I promise I'll do something
about it.
- Thank you.
- And if she bothers you again,
please tell me.
You both have to make an effort
to get along.
Montserrat, I'm sick of these
fights between you two.
- If Maria doesn't mess with
me, we'll be fine.
But it's like she's looking
for an excuse to provoke me
all the time.
- I'm going to the range.
One of the cows is about to give
birth and I wanted to see if
you wanted to come see the calf.
I thought you might like it.
- You know?
I think today is especially hot.
It's really humid.
Maybe some other time.
- Okay.
As you wish.
Please make sure your brother
and his friend leave the ranch
today.
I don't want to see them here
when I get back.
- Oh my God.
- Your husband is showing you
how much he loves you with
these gifts.
You're so lucky to have a man
like Mr. Medina.
Because these flowers are from
your husband, right?
- No. Actually, I asked
for them to be delivered.
To...
To make the garden look nicer.
I was surprised to see them
because I wasn't
expecting them so soon.
I'll go take a shower.
I have to go out.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Was I right or what?
- Indeed.
The wagon with flowers just
arrived at Mr. Medina's house.
Yes, the same ones Victor
Hernandez gave that woman.
And he gave them to her before,
because one of the workers left
with the wagon at dawn.
I thought it was strange.
Those two are up to something.
I think they're cheating on
Mr. Medina.
- Thank you for telling me,
Juventino.
Please be discreet.
Mr. Medina hates scandal.
- Don't worry about me.
They're the ones calling
attention to themselves.
- I'll take care of it today.
We'll talk later.
- [laughs] I guess you're here
to beg me not to tell Alejandro.
- Me? Beg you, Maria?
No. Don't be ridiculous.
- Stop pretending.
It's obvious you're scared.
And you're right to be.
Alejandro didn't let me speak
right then, but I promise
tonight he'll find out you
tried to leave him again.
- No, no, Maria.
You shouldn't say anything.
Don't you want me out of
Alejandro's life?
If you tell my husband
anything, you'll warn him.
Yes.
Honestly?
It would affect me a lot.
But you would
also be making sure
I can never get away from here.
Is that what you want, Maria?
For Alejandro to force me to
stay here forever?
Think, Maria.
Think about what's good for you.
- Fool.
- I'm serious, man.
She had a suitcase.
- Maybe she was running away.
- Maybe.
What I know is that it took
a lot of work to convince
the brunette not to tell anyone.
- You were with the brunette?
- Well... Yes, yes.
We had agreed to meet there.
To talk.
- Uh-huh.
- You know.
[Montserrat] Dimitrio.
- Good morning, Montserrat.
- Good morning.
Can we talk?
- What's the magic word?
- Can we please talk, Dimitrio?
- Ah.
- Dimitrio.
I have no way of getting
the money you want.
And I don't
know how to ask Alejandro
to let you stay longer.
Please, I'm begging you.
Leave the ranch.
- I want to help you,
but I can't.
- Why?
Dimitrio, please.
I'm desperate.
Why do you have to stress me
out?
Why are you so mean to me?
- Come on. So much drama.
Tone it down.
- It's not drama, Dimitrio.
What you're asking me is
impossible.
How can I go to Alejandro now
and tell him, "You know what?
My baby brother will be staying
longer." I can't.
- You don't have to tell him
that. Give us the money
and we'll leave.
- Where will I get that kind
of money?
My situation with Alejandro is
complicated. I can't ask for
that amount of money.
He'll never give it to me.
I don't even know what excuse
to use.
- Your friend, the foreman.
He's the ranch manager.
He has access to a lot of money.
I mean, it's just
an idea to get you rolling.
- What do you think?
That I'll ask
Jose Luis to steal for you?
You're really crazy.
- That's the line between what
you want and what you're willing
to do to get it.
Now...
On the other hand, Alejandro
is very much in love with you.
Or he was. I don't know.
I get confused.
You're a woman, okay?
You can get whatever you want.
Like any woman, you know what
I mean? It's not that hard, sis.
- You're shameless.
I hate you, Dimitrio.
- His ears were probably
ringing.
[Montserrat]
Shut up.
- Okay. I'll leave you alone,
maybe between the both of you,
you'll come up with one idea.
Even if it's small.
[Montserrat]
Shut up, Dimitrio.
- He's mad.
- Why didn't you go last night?
I was waiting for you.
- Because Adolfo saw me.
- So I guess you'll try
tonight, right?
- No.
I will never do it again.
And if you really love me like
you say you do, have a little
consideration for me and leave.
Leave.
- What are you doing?
[Jose Luis]
Montserrat, what's going on?
You were convinced.
You can't change your mind.
Especially when you know your
brother could talk.
- My place is here.
With my husband. Let me remind
you, I'm married.
And if you don't want Dimitrio
to hurt me, you're the one who
has to go.
- Montserrat.
- If Jose Luis leaves
the ranch, we're done.
- Why do you say that?
- Because my sister won't have
to pay me to keep me quiet.
- What?
No, Dimitrio. Not that. You
have to make that guy stay here.
- How?
- I don't know. Threaten him.
Tell him that...
Even if he leaves, you'll still
tell Alejandro the truth.
And that way, everything would
fall on Montserrat.
- What's with you?
Are you going to stay here
all day? I've been looking for
you for a while.
- I'm not in the mood,
and I want to be alone.
So please leave me alone.
- Oh, niece.
You can't let yourself go.
You have to do what we agreed.
Now that Antonio, the fool,
came back, I need you to make
Alejandro think about him being
involved with his wife.
- Forget about that.
It won't work.
- Niece.
Remember.
Revenge is a dish best served
hot. If you don't even try,
how can he--
- I tried.
I already tried.
I showed Alejandro proof.
I found a note from Antonio
telling the lady to meet him
at the lily pond.
I gave it to him.
And you know what he did?
- What?
- Nothing. Nothing.
- Did he even ask her about it?
- Not that I know of.
And if he did,
he didn't tell me.
Alejandro doesn't tell me
anything anymore.
- Oh, niece. You're losing
too much ground. Deny it.
Come on.
- Okay. Okay.
But I'll get it back.
The day that woman leaves
forever, you'll see, Uncle.
- Well, honestly, niece?
I don't think she'll leave.
- On the contrary.
She can't wait to leave.
Last night she tried to abandon
Alejandro again.
Adolfo saw her outside with her
suitcase and everything.
Unfortunately for me,
she couldn't leave.
- Listen.
Alejandro...
What did he do?
- He doesn't know yet.
- Aren't you going to tell him?
- No.
And I forbid you to open your
mouth, Uncle.
If we keep warning Alejandro,
that woman will never leave.

- Come out.
Wherever you are.
[whistles]
- What happened?
- I want to talk to you. Now.
- You want to talk to me?
- Yes.
- Make it fast, I don't have
much time.
- Okay. To the point.
Even if you leave, I'll tell
Alejandro the truth about you
and my sister.
- Okay. Okay.
What do you want?
- Let me go or I'll make sure
you regret it for the rest
of your colorful life.
I don't care if you stay or go.
It's the same to me.
What I want is money.
And if my sister doesn't give
it to me, you'll have to get it.
So if you want to leave,
go ahead.
Be a free man.
But my sister...
Will have to endure Alejandro's
revenge. And you won't let that
happen, because you're...
An honorable man.
- Get out.
- You're a good guy.
- Get out.
You're disgusting.
- Such harsh words. That's your
strong suit, right?
- Get out!
- Tell Monse to give you
the bill.
- I won't break--
I won't break your face becau--
- Get off me. Get off me.
- What's wrong?
What is it? Why are you crying?
Did you have any more trouble
with Maria?
- No.
- Then what's wrong?
- Nothing.
- [sighs] At what time
is your brother leaving?
- Alejandro, I didn't tell
Dimitrio to leave.
- Why?
- Because...
[sighs] Because he's my brother.
Even though he was mean to me,
I can't kick him out.
I can't.
- Then I'll do it. Don't worry.
- No, no, no, no.
First listen to me, please.
My aunt begged me to give him
a chance and forgive him.
I know I should hate him for
everything he's done.
But I can't.
I can't. Despite everything,
he's my brother.
I love him.
- Sometimes...
I don't understand how you
change your mind so quickly.
But this time, I'm sorry.
You have no idea how much it
bothers me that he's here,
and I won't let him stay
another night in my home.
- No, no, no.
Alejandro, please.
I'm asking you.
I'm begging you.
For God's sake, it's my family.

- I don't think
Antonio will come back.
Alejandro will appoint me
as his new foreman.
- Why are you so sure
he'll give you the job?
- I'm taking care of it.
That's why I need you
to do your part, Maria.
I want you to talk Alejandro
into hiring me.
You owe me many favors.
And what would be fair?
For you to help me, right?
- Okay, Uncle.
I'll talk to him.
But don't get too cocky.
I think Antonio will come back.
- It will be worse
for him if he does.
I'll find a way
to get rid of him.
Pick up everything,
I want my house to be clean.
Bye.
- I've been thinking, and...
I want you to forget about
what I asked you.
- You don't want me to talk
to my guy in the Agua Azul
police department?
- No. Not anymore.
- Does that mean I can spend
more time at the ranch?
- Victor.
I heard about the wagon.
Wasn't it a bit much?
You're playing with fire.
- Remember when I talked to you
and tried to convince you not
to go after Montserrat?
This is exactly the same.
Yes, yes, yes.
I know I might be messing it
up, but I won't take it back,
no matter what you say.
- But--
- You know better than anyone.
- But--
- Good evening.
[Alejandro] Good evening.
[Victor] Good evening.
- Victor.
I thought you were going back
to Agua Azul today.
- Yes, yes.
I was, but Alejandro thinks
it would be good if I spent
a few days here,
since there's no foreman.
And while we wait to hear from
Antonio Olivares, I should stay
and help him with everything.
- Alejandro, can you come
with me for a minute, please?
- I'm busy, Maria.
- It's very important.
It's about Antonio Olivares.
[Alejandro]
Please excuse me.
I'll be right back.
What is it?
Why did you bring me here?
- I thought you'd be interested
in something
I found here in the desk.
- What is it?
- I think you should read this.
Antonio wrote it
before he disappeared.
It's a message for your wife.
[Antonio] "Montserrat, you know
I have to leave right away,
but I have to see you
before I go.
I'll wait for you by
the lily pond. Don't be late."
- This note isn't signed,
Maria.
How do you know
Antonio wrote it?
- Compare it with these notes.
Your foreman wrote it.
It's the same handwriting.
You can't deny it.
- Don't tell anyone about this,
Maria. Am I clear?
- You don't need to say it.
I would never--
- Am I clear?
- Yes, Alejandro.
Don't worry.
- Don't come in here again
without permission.
Let me remind you, this is
no longer your house.
[Adolfito]
Yes. Okay.
Talk to you later.
- Who was that?
- My brother-in-law.
- And? Did they spread
the word?
- No. No.
Your family and the Valverde
family are being very discreet.
- So why did you call him?
- Because I wanted to find
my sister to ask her for money.
But where do you think she is?
- Honestly? I don't care.
- Nadia is visiting your sister
at Almonte's ranch.
- What's weird about that?
They're friends.
- We need money,
Dimitrio.
We have to go to your
brother-in-law's ranch
and get what we can.
You from your sister and me
from mine. And problem solved,
we'll go to Brazil.
[phone ringing]
- [sighs] It's Josefina again.
- Uh-huh.
Let me see that.
Give it here.
[Dimitrio]
What are you doing?
No, no. Wait--
- You know they can trace us
through these things?
[phone ringing]
- I bet it's Josefina.
You know what you have to do.
- No, but-- this--this
one can't be taken apart.
- No? Let me see.
There you go.
[sighs]
- It can't be.
Why are neither of them
answering?
- It's weird.
[laughs]
[phone dialing]
[phone ringing]
- Loreto, it's me.
[Loreto] Who?
- What do you mean, who?
Me, Juventino.
[Loreto]
What happened?
- Nothing.
Uh...
Mr. Medina asked me
to watch his wife
while she's here at the ranch.
And she's spent all her time
with one of Alejandro's workers.
Some dude who wears a vest.
It's ridiculous.
His name is Victor Hernandez.
- Are you sure about that?
- I'm sure.
He sent her flowers.
I'm watching them now.
They're right there.
Look at them.
Look at them.
They're giddy with laughter.
Do you want me to do anything?
- No, no. Nothing.
Just keep watching her.
It's best if Mr. Medina doesn't
know about this until we're
absolutely sure there's
something going on between them.
Let me know if anything happens.
- Over and out.
- It's great to
see Nadia so happy.
Being here at
the ranch is good for her.
- Nadia.
Come with me.
- Excuse me.
What is it?
- Can I give you some advice?
I think you should go back
to your husband.
- Why do you say that,
Ms. Carlota?
- Are you interested in Victor?
- No, of course not.
- Good. But he is
very interested in you.
So please don't bring
anymore problems to my niece
than she already has and
end this already.
- What did you say to Nadia?
She left looking tense.
- Did you see the wagon
outside?
- Yes. The one
filled with flowers?
- Victor gave it to Nadia.
And when a man does something
like that for a woman,
it's because he's interested.
I just asked Nadia
to be careful.
[sighs]
What could your husband
be doing still in his study?
- I don't know.
You know what? I'll ask him
if he wants some coffee.
[knock on door]
- What are you doing?
- I need to go over some
papers.
- Do you want some coffee?
- You're so kind to me lately.
- Do you want coffee,
yes or no?
- No, thank you.
- Okay. Then I won't take
anymore of your time.
- Don't you want to know
what Maria told me?
- I heard
it's about Antonio Olivares.
Did he turn up?
- Are you worried about him?
- The same as you
and everyone here.
- I hope nothing bad
happened to him.
I liked him.
- Really?
Why?
- Because he's a serious
person, a man of few words.
But he's good at his work, and
I won't forget he saved my life.
Besides, you liked him, right?
- Yes.
- The other day...
When you were both here
in the study...
What were you talking about?
- I don't remember.
- Maria told me you went to
his house once looking for him.
Is that true?
- Yes, I guess.
I probably needed something.
- What?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
- You don't remember or you
don't want to tell me?
- What's this about?
Are you interrogating me?
- And if I am, so what?
Don't I have a right to ask?
- You're always talking about
rights and responsibilities.
- What else can I talk to you
about? Tell me.
About affection? Understanding?
Loyalty? Love?
- You promised you'd trust me.
- I made a mistake.
Because I can't,
Montserrat.
I can't trust you.
- That's too bad.
Because I'd really like us
to get along.
But you...
Make things even harder.
Have a good night.
- Where is everybody?
- They went to bed.
- Do you want a drink?
- No, thank you.
I already had one.
- If Antonio Olivares isn't
back by tomorrow, I want you to
hire someone to look for him.
- Okay.
- That's it. Go get some rest.
- You don't want some company?
- No. I'd rather be alone.
- Have a good night.
- You too.
- Nadia.
What are you doing here?
- I was waiting for you.
Don't get close.
You said you were leaving.
Why are you still here?
- Because of you.
- Please leave, Victor.
- No.
- I know I should be
the one to leave.
That that's what I have to do.
But I'm not
strong enough to do it.
Besides, I don't want
to go back to Agua Azul yet.
- Then stay.
- I won't be okay
if you stay here too.
I can't go on like this, Victor.
When I sit down...
You sit next to me.
When I talk, you answer.
When I go for a walk...
You meet me outside.
I blush when I'm with you,
and everyone notices.
Please leave.
Leave.
I'm begging you.
- Really?
Is that what you want?
- What do you want me to say?
That I don't want you to leave?
I can't say that, Victor.
I can't. I can't.
No, no.
- Are you drinking by yourself?
Aren't you going to share?
- I didn't know
you liked mescal.
- Just a sip,
to keep you company.
Wow.
You don't look so good.
It's understandable.
Mmm.
Am I bothering you?
- No.
- I think what you need is
to get drunk.
I've never seen you drunk.
I wonder what you're like.
Happy?
Passionate?
[chuckles] Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Here.
[knock on door]
- Come in.
- Here's your tea, ma'am.
- Thank you, Rosario.
Thank you.
Do you know if my husband
went to bed already?
- No, ma'am.
He's in the living room.
- With Maria.
- Yes.
- What are they doing?
- They're talking.
That girl is mean, ma'am.
I'm scared she'll mess with you.
You don't love the boss, right?
- Rosario, he's my husband.
I care about him.
- But you don't love him.
Why?
[sighs]
- It's a long story, Rosario.
I'd like to get along with him,
but Alejandro is a very
difficult man.
He's...
Controlling, violent.
I'm scared of him.
I'm not myself
when I'm with him.
- Why don't you tell him
what you're telling me?
Why don't you explain to him
how you feel?
Alejandro is a good man.
I know he'll understand.
- Rosario, are you sure you
didn't know Alejandro's mother?
- No, ma'am.
I didn't know her.
- She was a farmer.
She had your same name.
- Oh, I didn't know.
- No?
I find it strange that you
didn't meet her.
Because she worked
for Benjamin Almonte too.
She lived here
at the same time you did.
Something doesn't fit, Rosario.
I don't know why, but I think
you did know Alejandro's mother.
Why don't you want to tell me?
When did that woman die?
What did she die of?
- I don't know anything, ma'am.
Can I go?
- Yes, okay.
You can leave.
- Have a good night.

Not a word. Let me do

Here, take this.
Act like you're working.
- Well.
You're finally back.
I'm glad you're okay.
What happened?
Where were you?
- Alejandro, I told you
I was taking the weekend off to
take care of a personal matter.
- And I asked you to stay here
to receive the breeding stock.
- I'm sorry, but Juventino
could do that without a problem.
My thing was urgent.

- It's a private matter and...
I don't want to talk about it.
- Okay. We all have private
matters, but...
I don't agree with you leaving
your job without my permission
and without telling anyone.
- We were very worried
about you.
We thought something bad had
happened to you.
- Alejandro, I apologize.
It won't happen again.
But when I went to tell you...
You were busy, you had company,
and I didn't want to bother you.
But...
Again, I'm sorry.
Now, if you want to fire me,
you have every right.
- I won't fire you, Antonio.
It's not that bad.
And, really,
I'm glad nothing bad happened.
- Good.
Right.
Thank you.
- I'll see you later.
- See you later.
- Excuse me.
- See?
He wasn't even mad.
- No.
- You should've fired him,
Alejandro. Or at least demand
he tell you why he left.
- Antonio is my employee, yes.
But he's entitled
to have a private life.
And if he doesn't want to tell
me why he left like that,
there's no point in me asking,
he'll tell me whatever he wants.
- What about the message
he wrote to your wife?
You're not going to ask him?
- Listen, Maria.
If you want us to get along,
stop meddling
where you don't belong.
- What happened, niece?
Why were you arguing?
- Forget about being
the new foreman.
Antonio Olivares is back.
[Alejandro]
The foreman just got back.
- Really?
What did he tell you?
Why did he leave?
- Because of a personal matter.
- That man is back
at the ranch and he--
- My aunt has been saying
she's mad about the way he left,
without letting anyone know.
- Yes. That's right.
I thought it was disrespectful.
- Alejandro.
A car is arriving.
- I'll go see who it is.
- Yes.
Excuse me.
- But, why did he come back?
- I don't know, Aunt.
I have no idea. I don't know.
- Alejandro.
How are you?
I'm sorry we didn't tell you
we were coming, we wanted to
surprise you and my sister.
- Yes.
It's a surprise.
- Remember my friend?
Adolfo Arguelles?
- It's great to see you.
Congratulations.
Your ranch is truly amazing.
Where's Monse? How is she?

- Yes. Yes.
Right away.
- You look great. [laughs]
- You too, Aunt.
- Montserrat, I don't want
your brother to stay here.
- Neither do I.
- Oh, great.
I'm glad we finally
agree on something.
Will you tell him
or would you rather I did?
- I'll tell him.
- You don't want your brother
to stay because of what
Esmeralda said.
- And because of what my mom
told us that time we talked
with her.
- Does that mean you're
starting to trust me?
- Yes.
- What? What do you mean,
my sister isn't here anymore?
She's one of the reasons we came
all the way here.
- No, Adolfo. Nadia went back
to Agua Azul today.
- That's too bad. I would've
loved seeing my sister.
- I know.
- Yes.
- I'll ask them to bring you
some lemon water.
- My beautiful lady.
- You're all sweaty, right?
- Uh-huh.
- The heat is unbearable.
- Yes, thank you.
- Not too much sugar, Aunt.
- Yes.
- Hey.
Your brother-in-law wasn't happy
we're here.
He was a bit grumpy, wasn't he?
- Yes, but...
He'll suck it up.
He won't kick us out. He'll let
us stay at least for a few days.
As soon as I get my sister alone
for a while, I'll ask for money.
- I like it.
- Yes.
She's scared.
- Hello.
He--
- What are you doing here?
[Alejandro]
Antonio.
Wait.
Please, come with me.
- I need to talk to you, okay?
We'll be right back, Adolfo.
- Put the jug on the table.
I'll serve it.
Ask Dominga to please make us...
Something to eat, a snack.
[sighs]
Where's my nephew?
- He's with Montserrat.
They'll be right back.
[Maria]
I can't stand her.
Nosy old hag.
I hope she doesn't think I'll
stand her treating me like
a maid, because I'm not one.
I'll tell Alejandro
when he comes back.
- He'll get tired of you
if you keep bothering him.
- I don't bother him.
It's the opposite.
He likes having me around.
- Rosario.
Please watch the pot, okay?
I'll go get some herbs
for the beans.
- They guys who arrived are
cute, aren't they?
- I haven't seen them.
- One is Ms. Montserrat's
brother, and the other one...
Has pretty eyes.
What?
Do you think they'll stay long?
- I have no idea.
- Why don't you ask the lady,
without telling her I asked?
[Renato]
Hello.
- What do you want, Renato?
- I...
Wanted to ask if you could
make me something to eat,
I'm starving.
[Rosario]
Have a seat.
I'll make you some quesadillas.
- What was it Antonio
had to take care of?
- Ask him.
- Did you know Alejandro
found a message
the foreman
wrote for the lady?
Ooh. What's with the faces?
Right.
You probably know what's up
with Antonio and Ms. Montserrat.
Right?
- Stop being so nosy.
You could regret it someday.
- Are you threatening me,
Rosario?
Can't you see
I could get Alejandro
to fire you just by asking?
- She's... Very bad-tempered,
isn't she?
- She's terribly rude.
- Do you think
what she said is true?
- You tell me.
Do you know if Antonio wrote
a message for Ms. Montserrat?
- Yes.
- Well, you already heard
that the boss found it.
That man has no idea
what he's getting himself into.
You shouldn't have come back.
- We couldn't talk when I went
to your house a while ago.
And it's because
we weren't alone.
But there's something
I need you to explain,
and you working
for me depends on it.
- Ask me anything.
- I found...
This note on your desk.
It's a message you wrote
for my wife.
- Alejandro, this isn't
what you think.
- And according to you,
what am I thinking?
That message was to tell
Montserrat you were leaving
and ask her to meet you
at the lily pond to talk.
Why?
- Listen.
I'll tell you the truth
because you're entitled
to know what's happening.
And it's time
I told the truth.
- Okay. I'm listening.
- Look, me coming to your ranch
looking for a job as a foreman
is not a coincidence. That...
That was just
a convenient excuse.
- Then why are you here?
- I'm here...
Because I'm in love
with a woman.
[Montserrat] You're not
welcome here, Dimitrio.
[Dimitrio]
Why?
[Montserrat]
You have to ask?
Alejandro knows all the things
you and mom did
so I would agree to marry him.
And I'm not just mad at you.
I'm scared too, Dimitrio.
Everything you did
against Jose Luis.
- Jose Luis.
That's what we need
to talk about.
- Yes.
Of course.
You don't know who was here
this weekend, do you?
Esmeralda Ramos.
- Esmeralda?
- [sighs]
You know her,
and you know her well.
Alejandro made her come here
and tell me everything.
Tell me.
When did you come up
with such a huge lie?
- Whatever.
I was doing you a favor
taking that man off your back.
- Blaming him for a crime
he didn't commit?
- What?
What are you talking about?
- Uh-huh.
Alejandro made mom tell us
the whole truth.
- And what did she say?
- That the one responsible
for Bruno Gamboa's death...
Is you, Dimitrio.
You.
- With...
our love is honest, and it
started before I came to work
here at the ranch, but...
It was a forbidden love
from the beginning.
Her family was
the biggest obstacle.
I just want to say...
When I came here,
all I wanted was to see her
and fight for her.
These past days I wasn't here...
I didn't go anywhere.
I was hiding in a hut by
the river, waiting for her.
- So...
It was you?
You were in the hut
with Angelica Arechiga.
[laughs]
Of course.
Of course, now I understand.
She's who you're
talking about, right?
I imagine you're surprised to
find out I know about your
relationship with her, but...
Just yesterday I heard her
talking with her sister, and...
She ended up confessing she was
in that hut with her boyfriend.
But I never thought it was you.
Antonio, please...
Don't worry. I promised Angelica
I wouldn't tell her parents.
- Alejandro, no, no. Wait.
Wait. You asked me to explain
why I wrote that message for
Montserrat,
and I'm going to tell you.
- She knows
you're Angelica's boyfriend.
Listen.
I know you and my wife have
talked privately a few times.
But now I understand why.
Let me tell you something.
You have no idea the things
that went through my mind.
- Alejandro.
I can't keep working for you.
- Oh, please.
Don't be silly.
Regardless of the reason why
you took the job as the ranch's
foreman, I have no complaints
about your work.
And I owe you, Antonio.
You saved my life.
- Trust me, when I say you
don't owe me anything,
I mean you don't
owe me anything.
- I wasn't born rich, Antonio.
I started from the bottom just
like you, and...
I know what it's like to fall
in love with a woman whose
supposedly out of our league.
So don't worry.
Starting today, I want you
to think of me as your friend,
not your boss.
You have my support
and my discretion.
- Mom told us that that man
threatened you with a gun
and you fought
with him to take it.
And at that moment...
The gun was fired.
And that's why that man died.
- How could mom betray me?
How could she betray me?
- I don't understand
how you could
use that to frame Jose Luis.
- What did your husband tell
mom to get her to talk?
- I have no idea.
- You know what?
He gave her money. He gave
mom money. Mom sold me out.
- Are you surprised?
Mom thought I had a price,
why wouldn't you have one too?
Don't worry.
Alejandro and I won't talk about
any of this with the police.
Just as long...
As you leave the ranch today.
- I won't leave,
Montserrat.
And you'd better
not do anything against me,
because you'll be the one
who loses.
- How dare you threaten me?
You're shameless, Dimitrio.
- Shameless?
Me? Shameless?
You're the one who has her
ex-boyfriend living with her.
- What?
- Yes, don't play dumb.
I saw him going into your
husband's study,
who, by the way,
thinks his name is Antonio.
Let's talk now that everything's
out in the open.
- Listen.
I thought you didn't know him,
but it's true.
You saw us together at the pier
that time.
Dimitrio--
- Yes, I know him. I know him
well. Now, you are--
you are unbelievable.
It turns out the pretty one,
the beautiful one, the one
who makes sacrifices has her
ex-boyfriend living in her
newlywed home. Sis...
You're amazing.
- No, but I swear, Dimitrio.
I swear I have nothing to do
with that. I swear.
I'm begging you, please don't
tell Alejandro any of this.
- No, don't worry. Don't worry.
I won't tell him.
As long as you give me...
Some things.
- What things?
- Money.
- Money, Dimitrio?
I don't have any money.
- No, you don't.
But your husband...
Has a lot of it.
[Refugio]
Jose Luis.
Jose Luis.
I told you we
shouldn't have come back.
Maria told me
Alejandro found
the note you left for
Montserrat.
And that guy, that guy,
is starting to get suspicious.
- Calm down, Refugio.
Calm down. I just came back
from talking to him about that.
- Did you confront him?
What did you say to him?
- I decided to tell him
everything.
I told him who I am
and why I'm here.
I told him...
I came to this ranch to fight
for a woman's love.
- And what did he do? What--
what did he say? Did he hit you?
Or did he take it calmly?
- No.
No, he thought I was talking
about Angelica, not Montserrat.
- I don't know if you're lucky.
Maybe you should've let
everything blow out once
and for all.
Damn it, Jose Luis.
- This gets worse
and worse, Refugio.
It's one lie
after another and another.
This will end badly.
- I told you we shouldn't
have come back, Jose Luis.
Your stubbornness will end up
killing us both.
- There's more.
- More?
- Yes.
Dimitrio just got here.
- God save us all.
That fool won't
keep his mouth shut.
- It doesn't matter.
If I lie, I have to face
the consequences.
That's the price
I have to pay, Refugio.
I'm just worried about
what Alejandro could do
to Montserrat
once he finds out.
[sighs]
I have to protect her.
I have to get her out of here.
Even if I have to force her,
I'll get her out of here.
♪♪♪
- Why did you come back, fool?
- That's none of your business.
- You shouldn't have come.
And don't get comfortable
because you won't be here long.
I would start looking for
another job if I were you.
- I'm not the one who should
be worried, because you're
the one who won't last long.
- We'll see
who comes out on top.
- My brother recognized you.
He knows perfectly well who you
are and he's asking for a lot
of money to keep his mouth shut.
What are we going to do?
[sighs]
- We should've asked ourselves
that a long time ago.
Let's go.
Montserrat,
don't think about it.
- You lied to me.
- Let's get out of here.
- You told me--
lies, Jose Luis.
- Okay.
What are you talking about?
- Esmeralda Ramos.
You know her, and you also knew
that it was Dimitrio who hired
her, but you let me think it was
Alejandro's fault.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
but I didn't lie to you.
We never talked about that
again. You don't know--
- You could have told me.
- What for?
Huh? What for?
So you could get closer to
Alejandro and start seeing him
differently? For that?
You used to hate him.
Montserrat.
Tell me the truth.
Have your feelings
towards him changed?
- Esmeralda...
Told me where you were hiding.
And I went looking for you
like the fool.
I saw you with her, Jose Luis.
I saw you with Angelica,
and you were kissing.
- Now you're questioning me?
Yes.
Yes, I met her a few days ago,
and I think she's a nice girl,
very pretty--
- Yes, very pretty. Yes.
- Yes, exceptionally pretty.
But there's nothing
between her and me.
- That's not what I saw.
- Montserrat, please.
It was a kiss. A little peck.
That doesn't mean
anything to me.
- I don't know what I'm doing.
I have no right to ask you any
of this. I'm sorry.
- No, no. Yes.
Yes, ask me.
I like that you're asking.
I love that you're jealous.
- No, no. You know what?
- You still love me.
- You should do that.
Look for someone...
Meet someone and give her a
chance, because you deserve it.
And I have nothing to offer you.
- Montserrat, you're asking me
to do something I can't.
Really. You're asking something
impossible.
Look at me.
I can't imagine my life
without you.
Honey, you're burned into...
My heart, my mind, everywhere.
- I wish I didn't feel
the things I feel
when I kiss you, Jose Luis.
You completely disarm me.
I'm weak when I'm with you.
- Yes.
See? Let's go.
- No, I can't go. Please
understand I can't go with you.
- You can't stay here.
Your brother could expose us,
Monse.
- After everything my brother
did to me, I have no doubt
he'll tell Alejandro everything.
I don't know what I'll do
if I don't get the money.
- That's exactly why, honey.
Let's get out of here.
- You go, Jose Luis.
Leave without me.
- Please.
You know perfectly well you're
asking something crazy,
Montserrat.
You think I'm not jealous?
Every time I think you're
starting to have feelings for
Alejandro, I go crazy.
Can't you see? I go crazy.
It clouds my mind.
While you sleep with him,
I'm wide awake in that room.
It's torture, Monse.
I suffer and suffer.
I suffer all the time.
In fact...
We're leaving tonight.
Yes or no?
- Yes.
- Thank you so much. Really.
I promise, you won't regret it.
- I have to go.
Before someone starts wondering.
- Yes, yes, yes.
You're right. Wait here.
Wait here.
Juventino was around here.
Wait here.
- All the more reason.
I have to go.
- Montserrat.
You know this is the best
decision.
- Yes.
- Please.
Don't take it back.
- No, no, no.
That won't happen.
That won't happen.
- Yes, I'm sorry.
I love you.
Hear me?
Make no mistake.
I love you, honey.
Okay.
We'll meet...
We'll meet behind the range.
- Yes.
- Be careful.
- I don't understand how you
can forgive Antonio everything.
He leaves the ranch, stops doing his job,
then he comes back like
he never left. Who's the boss?
Him or you? You should fire him.
- Lower your tone.
Who are you to question
my decisions?
- Listen, Alejandro.
You...
Promised me I'd be the foreman.
- I didn't promise you anything,
Juventino.
I told you I'd think about it
if Antonio didn't come back.
But he's here now, so it's done.
- If I were you...
I'd think about it, Alejandro.
Because...
As far as I remember...
You owe me a favor.
- Are you threatening...
To tell my wife
about her mother's
relationship with Benjamin?
Keep your mouth shut for
your own good, Juventino.
I wouldn't want you to
lose your job.
- Are you sure?
You're not mistaken?
- Of course not.
I recognized him just then.
- I can't believe it.
What about Alejandro?
Isn't he worried?
- Alejandro doesn't know
anything.
- Listen.
How much money did you ask for?
- Enough to go to Brazil.
- You think Montserrat can get
that kind of money?
- That's her problem, not mine.
- What are you going to do
if she doesn't get it?
Tell her husband?
- What do you think?
- Well...
She's your sister, but
considering what you've told me,
if Alejandro finds out, given
his temper, he could kill her.
- No, man.
He won't kill her.
After what happened, my sister
knows I'm capable of anything.
That I don't care
about the consequences.
- Okay.
You know what you're doing.
Now...
If she takes her time coming up
with the money...
It's fine.
I don't mind staying here for
a couple of weeks.
Especially after seeing some of
the girls who work here.
They're beautiful.
- Really?
- Yes. I saw one a little while
ago who was not bad at all.
- You already like her?
- I have to do something
to entertain myself. I advise
you to do the same.
- Have her bring some friends.
- Right.
- Yes.
[laughs]
- What's up, Esther?
I'm here to see my husband.
- He's busy with someone right
now, ma'am.
But I'll tell him you're here.
- Thank you.
- Your wife is here and wants
to see you, sir.
Go ahead, ma'am.
You can go in.
- Thank you. Excuse me.
- Go ahead.
- Hello, honey.
- I didn't think you'd come
back from the ranch so soon.
- I got back this morning and
couldn't wait to come see you.
- Oh.
Did you miss me?
- A lot.
But I don't want to take too
much of your time.
Esther said you were busy
with someone.
- Yes, I am.
Look.
I think you two know each other.
Look.
She's Nadia, my wife.
This is Victor Hernandez.
- Nice to see you again, ma'am.
- How are you, Mr. Hernandez?
- Fine, thank you.
If I'd known you were coming
back to Agua Azul today,
I would've given you a lift.
- What?
You were at Almonte's ranch
this weekend too?
- Yes, yes. I was.
- I didn't think you'd be
coming back so soon.
- I'm in charge of Alejandro's
company and I can't be away for
too long. In fact, I'm here
discussing a company matter
with your husband.
- Why don't you come to our
house for dinner tomorrow?
That way we can talk better.
What do you think?
I hope you don't mind, honey.
- No. No, of course not.
It's okay.
- I recommend
you save your appetite.
My wife is an excellent cook.
- Ye--yes, right.
Even with the little time
I spent with her I realized
she's an amazing woman.
In every sense of the word.
- Then I'll see you tomorrow.
[Victor]
Great.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Nice to see you, ma'am.
- What's wrong, Nadia?
Are you okay?
- Yes.
I won't take anymore of your
time. See you at home tonight,
okay?
- You have to cook.
- Hello, gorgeous.
- Hello.
- I'm Adolfo.
And you?
- Maria.
- Oh. Of course. It's the
prettiest name there is.
That's why I can see why a girl
like you would be named that.
- Are you related to
Ms. Montserrat?
- No. I'm her brother's
friend and partner.
I'm a lucky man.
- Why?
- Because I didn't want to come
to this ranch, especially
considering I have my own.
But I'm happy.
I found a beautiful girl.
I've been all around the world,
you know?
Paris, London, Belgian Congo,
France, Kumala, New York.
And I'm not kidding.
I haven't seen many women with
eyes like yours.
I mean, I'd like us to become
friends while I'm here.
- Maybe Ms. Montserrat won't
like that idea.
- [laughs] I don't care what
Montserrat says.
You're very beautiful.
And now that I think about it...
I have a fine necklace.
A souvenir I brought from
Brazil. Pure platinum.
It would look great on you.
Around your sexy neck.
Can I give it to you?
- I don't know if that's okay.
- There's nothing wrong
with it.
I'll take it to your house
later.
Where do you live?
- At the main house.
- Then why don't you go to
my room tonight?
- Maybe somewhere else.
[Susana]
Will you eat, ma'am?
[Nadia]
No, thank you.
I'm not hungry.
- There's a man waiting for you
at the terrace.
- A man? Who?
- Hello.
- Thank you, Susana.
You can go.
- Can I get you some coffee?
- No.
He won't be staying long.
Wherever I go, whichever way
I look, there you are.
- You left the ranch without
saying good-bye
and you left me alone.
Wanting to kiss you.
Antonio Olivares' room,
please.
- I'm sorry. Mr. Olivares
checked out early this morning.
- Thank you.
Could he have gone back to
Almonte's ranch?
[knock on door]
- Come in.
- Honey.
- Hello.
- I'm going to
meet Alejandro Almonte.
Want to come with me?
- Yes, Daddy.
[laughs]
- Why are you crying?
- What are you doing to me?
- Nothing.
I just want to give you
a thousand reasons to smile.
I want...
To take the sadness out of your
eyes. I want...
I want you to be happy.
- By making me your mistress?
- No.
- And then what, Victor?
What will happen once you get me
in your bed?
I'll be just another conquest.
Me, on the other hand...
I won't be able to look myself
in the mirror
without feeling ashamed.
- No, no, no. I promise it's
not like that. That's not what
I want. I swear.
- You know that's what will
happen.
- No.
You're married to a man who--
- A man whom I love.
I really love him, Victor.
I want to try to
save my marriage.
You--you're like an illusion,
an adventure I'm not sure
I want to have.
- I-- I don't want to have fun,
Nadia. I swear.
- I don't believe you.
I don't believe you because
this is a game to you, Victor.
Why were you
at my husband's office?
Why did you say you'd come
to dinner?
Do you really not realize
you're putting me on the spot?
- I'm sorry.
I'll call his office
and cancel tomorrow's dinner.
- Thank you.
- But don't ask me to stop
seeing you.
- It's for the best.
It's for the best, Victor.
Don't push me.
Leave me alone.
I'm begging you.
- Did you talk to your brother?
- Yes.
- And?
- Uh...
I told him what we agreed on.
But Dimitrio asked if he could
stay at least for tonight,
and I had to say yes.
- Okay.
As long as he and his friend
leave tomorrow.
Montserrat.
Why didn't you tell me about
Antonio and Arechiga's daughter?
Did you really think I'd do
something against them?
You don't know me, Montserrat.
- Honestly? I usually don't
know what to expect from you.
- I know. The same thing
happens to me with you.
[door bell rings]
I'm very grateful Antonio
opened up to me.
I'd like to know how you became
their ally.
[Joaquin]
Good afternoon, Alejandro.
- Joaquin. We weren't expecting
you. Please come in.
- Welcome.
How are you?
- I'm sorry we came without
calling, but I wanted to know
if you have the information on
the ranch where you bought
the breeding stock.
- Oh, right.
I have it right here.
But...
The ranching fair will start
soon. I would wait.
You might be able
to buy livestock
at a better price than I got.
- Since you're going to discuss
boring things, I'd like to go
for a walk. Can I, Dad?
- Of course.
- Yes?
[Joaquin]
Go.
Don't go far.
- Why don't you go with her?
- Yes. Yes.
Of course.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Come to the study with me.
- Yes.
[Angelica]
You can't stand me, right?
- No, no. Not at all.
Why?
- You're very serious.
I really like you.
Considering...
- What?
- Considering I just met you.
- Oh.
My...
Husband told me you're our
foreman's girlfriend.
Is that true?
- Are you going to tell
my father?
- No.
Of course not. Don't worry.
- Oh.
Look, the truth is Antonio
isn't my boyfriend.
We're just friends.
- Oh.
- I think he's in love with
someone else.
- Really?
With whom?
- With you.
[Dimitrio]
Monse.
Aren't you going to introduce
us? I didn't know you had such
a beautiful friend.
- She's Angelica Arechiga.
She's the daughter
of one of our neighbors.
- Angelica, you're an angel.
- And you're the devil, right?
- My name is Dimitrio.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
I'll leave you.
I'll go say hello to a friend.
- A friend?
A friend? What? Does she have
a boyfriend? What friend?
- Why do you care, Dimitrio?
- We're leaving?
Does that mean we're finally
getting out of this place?
- That's right.
- Brother. Brother, you don't
know how happy I am we'll
finally get out of here.
And...
What did you tell Montserrat?
Did you say good-bye to her?
- No.
Montserrat is coming with us.
- She's--
[Angelica] Hello.
I'm glad you're back.
Now I'll be able to see you
all the time.
- I have to go do some things
inside.
- Uh...
Oh, Angelica. I'm glad to see
you, because I want to give you
back the money you...
You loaned me for the hotel.
- No, don't worry.
Really, I'm serious.
- Please take it.
Otherwise, I'll feel bad.
- Okay.
Fine.
Guess who I was talking with?
With Montserrat.
And she asked if we were dating.
- What did you tell her?
- That we weren't.
That we're just friends.
- Angelica, I don't want to be
rude, but you have to go.
We-- we-- we shouldn't be seen
together.
- Okay, I'll go. But...
Only if you promise to pick me
up tomorrow and take me for
a horseback ride.
- Promised.
- Great.
- Why didn't you say good-bye
to her?
Why didn't you tell her we're
leaving tonight?
- Don't you think?
The fewer people who know,
the better.
Huh?
Let's see.
What's in here?
- We'll see you at home
on Friday then.
- Yes. It'll be a pleasure,
Joaquin.
- Nice to meet you.
And of course you're invited too.
- Oh, thank you.
If I'm here, I'll come visit.
Thank you.
- Okay.
Where's my daughter now?
Don't tell me she disappeared
again.
- Apparently Angelica is very
restless.
- You have no idea.
[Angelica]
I'm here, Dad.
- Okay.
Good.
Say good-bye. We're leaving.
- Bye.
[Montserrat]
Bye. Take care.
- A pleasure to meet you,
Angelica.
- You too.
- I'll walk you out.
- Thank you.
- See you later.
- Angelica is very pretty,
isn't she?
- Very pretty.
I really like her.
I think if I'm still here on
Friday I can come with you to
the Arechiga's ranch, right?
- Dimitrio, first off,
get a grip.
And I don't want you to do
what you always do.
Stay away from Angelica.
- Annoy me. Go ahead.
Score some negative points.
- What?
- Don't talk to me like that.
Be careful. You know.
[sighs]
- Darling.
I know Dimitrio hasn't been nice
to you, but he's your brother.
You should make up with him.
- Aunt, you don't understand
anything. Anything.
- How can I understand if you
don't tell me what's happening?
[sighs]
[Nadia]
I'm glad you're home.
- Yes, I couldn't stay at
the office another minute.
I'm under a lot of pressure and
I'm very stressed out and tired.
- Okay. Let me give you
a back rub.
- No, no, no, no.
Don't worry.
A bath will do it.
- Come on, don't be silly.
You'll feel better and sleep
better.
You'll see.
- Victor Hernandez canceled
tomorrow's dinner.
- Okay.
- Tell me. Did you have a good
time at Almonte's ranch?
- I'd rather not talk about
anything right now.
Relax.
- What are you doing?
- I need you, Pedro.
Please.
Please, don't say no today.
I need you more than ever.
- Don't be ridiculous.
What part of "I'm tired" don't
you understand?
I'm going to take a bath.
I'll sleep in the other room.
- Montserrat.
What are you doing here?
- Nothing.
- What's with the suitcase?
- Please, Adolfo--
- Where are you going?
- Please don't say anything.
Please, I'm begging you.
- No, no, no.
It's okay, don't worry.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- What happened?
What was the lady doing here?
- [sighs] I don't know.
Getting some fresh air, I guess.
- Please, Pedro.
Pedro, I'm begging you.
Don't sleep in another room.
Don't. Not tonight.
Why are you like this with me?
Why won't you touch me?
Why don't you even kiss me?
Why can't you show me even
a little bit of love?
Answer me.
I need to understand why you're
like this with me.
- Leave me alone.
- I won't leave you alone until
you answer me.
Why don't you want me?
What's wrong?
Don't you like women?
- That's the--
stupidest thing you've said
in your entire life.
- Then...
What's your excuse for not
wanting to be with me?
[gasps]
- It's not that I don't like
women, Nadia.
I just don't like you.
You don't make me feel anything.
Nothing.
- And Monse?
Where is she?
[sighs]
- She didn't make it to the
meeting spot.
- What?
She got cold feet?
That woman doesn't want to be
involved with you, Jose Luis.
Maybe now you'll get it.
- Where did you leave the
truck?
- Near here.
Behind some bushes.
No one saw me take it.
So?
Are we leaving now?
- No.
We're going back to the ranch.
- What?
- What you heard.
- Are you this curious about
everything?
- Just when I'm interested
in something.
Or someone.
And I worry about anything that
has to do with Alejandro.
He's my best friend.
What was his wife doing here?
- Why don't you tell me what
took you so long?
I've been waiting for a while.
- I had things to do.
- Look.
Huh?
Here's the gift I promised you.
- Is it good quality?
- Of course.
There's more.
Let's see, gorgeous.
- No one ever gave me something
like this.
- Okay.
There's always a first time.
But you know what?
I would give a beautiful woman
like you ten thousand presents.
And I would kiss her all over.
Can I kiss you?
- No.
I think I'll wait and see
what you give me next.
- [gasps]
My God.
- They're beautiful,
aren't they?
- When did they arrive?
Who brought them?
- A boy.
Very early, ma'am.
- And...
Was there a card?
Did he say anything?
- Nothing, ma'am.
He just said it was very
important for these flowers to
face your window.
So you'd see them from your
balcony every day.
- What are you doing here,
Maria?
How dare you come into my room
like that?
- I just saw Rosario bringing
your morning juice and I offered
to bring it myself.
- Oh.
How kind.
I don't believe you.
- I want to talk to you.
I can't take not knowing where
you were going last night.
- I don't know what you're
talking about.
- Don't act dumb.
You left here with your
suitcase and everything.
- You saw me.
- What do you think?
You wanted to run away again,
right?
- Good morning, Montserrat.
Maria, what are you doing here?
- Are you going to tell him,
ma'am? Or should I?
♪♪♪
- I don't want you coming
in here and making my wife
uncomfortable.
You have nothing
to do in this room.
And just like I asked Montserrat
to show you respect and treat
you like a member of the family,
I'm going to ask you the same.
Respect Montserrat as my wife
and the lady of the house.
- You need to know--
- It's an order, Maria.
Get out of here right now.
Please...
Forgive me, Montserrat.
- For what?
- Because I didn't listen to
you when you complained about
Maria.
But I promise I'll do something
about it.
- Thank you.
- And if she bothers you again,
please tell me.
You both have to make an effort
to get along.
Montserrat, I'm sick of these
fights between you two.
- If Maria doesn't mess with
me, we'll be fine.
But it's like she's looking
for an excuse to provoke me
all the time.
- I'm going to the range.
One of the cows is about to give
birth and I wanted to see if
you wanted to come see the calf.
I thought you might like it.
- You know?
I think today is especially hot.
It's really humid.
Maybe some other time.
- Okay.
As you wish.
Please make sure your brother
and his friend leave the ranch
today.
I don't want to see them here
when I get back.
- Oh my God.
- Your husband is showing you
how much he loves you with
these gifts.
You're so lucky to have a man
like Mr. Medina.
Because these flowers are from
your husband, right?
- No. Actually, I asked
for them to be delivered.
To...
To make the garden look nicer.
I was surprised to see them
because I wasn't
expecting them so soon.
I'll go take a shower.
I have to go out.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Was I right or what?
- Indeed.
The wagon with flowers just
arrived at Mr. Medina's house.
Yes, the same ones Victor
Hernandez gave that woman.
And he gave them to her before,
because one of the workers left
with the wagon at dawn.
I thought it was strange.
Those two are up to something.
I think they're cheating on
Mr. Medina.
- Thank you for telling me,
Juventino.
Please be discreet.
Mr. Medina hates scandal.
- Don't worry about me.
They're the ones calling
attention to themselves.
- I'll take care of it today.
We'll talk later.
- [laughs] I guess you're here
to beg me not to tell Alejandro.
- Me? Beg you, Maria?
No. Don't be ridiculous.
- Stop pretending.
It's obvious you're scared.
And you're right to be.
Alejandro didn't let me speak
right then, but I promise
tonight he'll find out you
tried to leave him again.
- No, no, Maria.
You shouldn't say anything.
Don't you want me out of
Alejandro's life?
If you tell my husband
anything, you'll warn him.
Yes.
Honestly?
It would affect me a lot.
But you would
also be making sure
I can never get away from here.
Is that what you want, Maria?
For Alejandro to force me to
stay here forever?
Think, Maria.
Think about what's good for you.
- Fool.
- I'm serious, man.
She had a suitcase.
- Maybe she was running away.
- Maybe.
What I know is that it took
a lot of work to convince
the brunette not to tell anyone.
- You were with the brunette?
- Well... Yes, yes.
We had agreed to meet there.
To talk.
- Uh-huh.
- You know.
[Montserrat] Dimitrio.
- Good morning, Montserrat.
- Good morning.
Can we talk?
- What's the magic word?
- Can we please talk, Dimitrio?
- Ah.
- Dimitrio.
I have no way of getting
the money you want.
And I don't
know how to ask Alejandro
to let you stay longer.
Please, I'm begging you.
Leave the ranch.
- I want to help you,
but I can't.
- Why?
Dimitrio, please.
I'm desperate.
Why do you have to stress me
out?
Why are you so mean to me?
- Come on. So much drama.
Tone it down.
- It's not drama, Dimitrio.
What you're asking me is
impossible.
How can I go to Alejandro now
and tell him, "You know what?
My baby brother will be staying
longer." I can't.
- You don't have to tell him
that. Give us the money
and we'll leave.
- Where will I get that kind
of money?
My situation with Alejandro is
complicated. I can't ask for
that amount of money.
He'll never give it to me.
I don't even know what excuse
to use.
- Your friend, the foreman.
He's the ranch manager.
He has access to a lot of money.
I mean, it's just
an idea to get you rolling.
- What do you think?
That I'll ask
Jose Luis to steal for you?
You're really crazy.
- That's the line between what
you want and what you're willing
to do to get it.
Now...
On the other hand, Alejandro
is very much in love with you.
Or he was. I don't know.
I get confused.
You're a woman, okay?
You can get whatever you want.
Like any woman, you know what
I mean? It's not that hard, sis.
- You're shameless.
I hate you, Dimitrio.
- His ears were probably
ringing.
[Montserrat]
Shut up.
- Okay. I'll leave you alone,
maybe between the both of you,
you'll come up with one idea.
Even if it's small.
[Montserrat]
Shut up, Dimitrio.
- He's mad.
- Why didn't you go last night?
I was waiting for you.
- Because Adolfo saw me.
- So I guess you'll try
tonight, right?
- No.
I will never do it again.
And if you really love me like
you say you do, have a little
consideration for me and leave.
Leave.
- What are you doing?
[Jose Luis]
Montserrat, what's going on?
You were convinced.
You can't change your mind.
Especially when you know your
brother could talk.
- My place is here.
With my husband. Let me remind
you, I'm married.
And if you don't want Dimitrio
to hurt me, you're the one who
has to go.
- Montserrat.
- If Jose Luis leaves
the ranch, we're done.
- Why do you say that?
- Because my sister won't have
to pay me to keep me quiet.
- What?
No, Dimitrio. Not that. You
have to make that guy stay here.
- How?
- I don't know. Threaten him.
Tell him that...
Even if he leaves, you'll still
tell Alejandro the truth.
And that way, everything would
fall on Montserrat.
- What's with you?
Are you going to stay here
all day? I've been looking for
you for a while.
- I'm not in the mood,
and I want to be alone.
So please leave me alone.
- Oh, niece.
You can't let yourself go.
You have to do what we agreed.
Now that Antonio, the fool,
came back, I need you to make
Alejandro think about him being
involved with his wife.
- Forget about that.
It won't work.
- Niece.
Remember.
Revenge is a dish best served
hot. If you don't even try,
how can he--
- I tried.
I already tried.
I showed Alejandro proof.
I found a note from Antonio
telling the lady to meet him
at the lily pond.
I gave it to him.
And you know what he did?
- What?
- Nothing. Nothing.
- Did he even ask her about it?
- Not that I know of.
And if he did,
he didn't tell me.
Alejandro doesn't tell me
anything anymore.
- Oh, niece. You're losing
too much ground. Deny it.
Come on.
- Okay. Okay.
But I'll get it back.
The day that woman leaves
forever, you'll see, Uncle.
- Well, honestly, niece?
I don't think she'll leave.
- On the contrary.
She can't wait to leave.
Last night she tried to abandon
Alejandro again.
Adolfo saw her outside with her
suitcase and everything.
Unfortunately for me,
she couldn't leave.
- Listen.
Alejandro...
What did he do?
- He doesn't know yet.
- Aren't you going to tell him?
- No.
And I forbid you to open your
mouth, Uncle.
If we keep warning Alejandro,
that woman will never leave.
♪♪♪
♪♪♪
- Come out.
Wherever you are.
[whistles]
- What happened?
- I want to talk to you. Now.
- You want to talk to me?
- Yes.
- Make it fast, I don't have
much time.
- Okay. To the point.
Even if you leave, I'll tell
Alejandro the truth about you
and my sister.
- Okay. Okay.
What do you want?
- Let me go or I'll make sure
you regret it for the rest
of your colorful life.
I don't care if you stay or go.
It's the same to me.
What I want is money.
And if my sister doesn't give
it to me, you'll have to get it.
So if you want to leave,
go ahead.
Be a free man.
But my sister...
Will have to endure Alejandro's
revenge. And you won't let that
happen, because you're...
An honorable man.
- Get out.
- You're a good guy.
- Get out.
You're disgusting.
- Such harsh words. That's your
strong suit, right?
- Get out!
- Tell Monse to give you
the bill.
- I won't break--
I won't break your face becau--
- Get off me. Get off me.
- What's wrong?
What is it? Why are you crying?
Did you have any more trouble
with Maria?
- No.
- Then what's wrong?
- Nothing.
- [sighs] At what time
is your brother leaving?
- Alejandro, I didn't tell
Dimitrio to leave.
- Why?
- Because...
[sighs] Because he's my brother.
Even though he was mean to me,
I can't kick him out.
I can't.
- Then I'll do it. Don't worry.
- No, no, no, no.
First listen to me, please.
My aunt begged me to give him
a chance and forgive him.
I know I should hate him for
everything he's done.
But I can't.
I can't. Despite everything,
he's my brother.
I love him.
- Sometimes...
I don't understand how you
change your mind so quickly.
But this time, I'm sorry.
You have no idea how much it
bothers me that he's here,
and I won't let him stay
another night in my home.
- No, no, no.
Alejandro, please.
I'm asking you.
I'm begging you.
For God's sake, it's my family.
