00:00♪♪
00:30If I hadn't done it, what chances did I have
00:33of writing to a woman who, curiously,
00:36was also a friend of Mrs. Margarita's?
00:38You disappeared.
00:40Out of the house, without leaving a trace,
00:43without any explanation, without any farewell.
00:46We even thought you were dead.
00:48But I'm fine now.
00:51I'm even happier than ever, you know?
00:55It's best if you forget about me.
00:57And that suit?
00:59It's from the Sundays. It's the best I have.
01:02Yeah.
01:06Maybe it's not a good idea for me to go to dinner.
01:08No. Nonsense.
01:10It makes me happy that you come with me.
01:13Do you know what hurts me the most?
01:15Your behavior.
01:16It's as if you wanted to ruin all your love encounters with Cruz.
01:20As if you wanted to make it clear where your heart is and everything else.
01:23I'm glad you finally understand.
01:26And I regret that I can be so mean.
01:28Anuel, I'm going to that asylum.
01:31I have to prove with my own eyes that Martina is okay.
01:34So what you're proposing is to take care of the action while I cover your back, is that it?
01:38Inventing good excuses to justify my absence.
01:44Yeah.
01:47Don't say anything. Don't smile and continue as you were.
01:51I know everything.
01:53I don't care about the threats I have about you.
01:55We'll see what we do.
01:57But get out of here.
01:59If there's no explanation, there's no point in blaming yourself.
02:04It was all by chance.
02:06Yes, it was all by chance.
02:08But you said you thought your son had no responsibility.
02:12I'm not thinking about my son.
02:14I'm thinking about Petra Arcos.
02:16I repeat that I have not sent any invitation to that lady
02:19and I have not contacted her in any other way.
02:22Of course not. You always deny your participation in everything.
02:24But then it turns out that time ends up pointing it out.
02:28I've been very bad to you. I've made you suffer.
02:31You've also made me very happy.
02:33Don't ever leave again, please.
02:35You don't know how much I've missed you.
02:43I'm sure we're all going to get all that money.
02:46But, Lupe, that money is useless if I don't have a place to live with my son.
02:52I've got an idea.
02:54For the money or for the child's accommodation?
02:58For both.
03:00Doña Pia?
03:02Doña Pia?
03:04Ana, she's not responding.
03:06She's fainted or something.
03:07Doña Pia, wake up.
03:08Doña Pia, please wake up.
03:09Doña Pia!
03:10Doña Pia.
03:11Doña Pia!
03:12Are Catarina and Curro also late?
03:13Curro is not coming to dinner.
03:15They are not very well.
03:17And then?
03:18For whom is that other blanket?
03:19For my companion.
03:22Let me introduce you to Adriano García Pardo,
03:24one of the lenders of the promise.
03:30Sit down, please.
03:39Adriano, welcome.
03:43It's always a pleasure to have a new guest at this table.
03:49Thank you, Don Manuel.
03:51Yes, it will be a pleasure for you to have dinner with us.
03:54A pleasure for me too, Mr. Marqués.
03:56Thank you.
03:58Wine, sir?
04:00Yes, please.
04:02Yes, now I'll bring you some water, but I'll serve you the wine.
04:07Yes.
04:08The truth is that there is a glass for wine and another for water,
04:11I think it makes no sense.
04:12Because the only thing that causes them are mistakes, right?
04:16It's not that there is a lot of room for error, precisely.
04:20Well, it's been a long time since we all sat around the table.
04:26Well, we're not all here, Lorenzo.
04:29I don't know if you've noticed that neither your son Curro nor my daughter Martina are here.
04:33I think this dinner was to celebrate their return.
04:36Yes.
04:41I suppose that after such a long confinement, Catalina,
04:45this will seem like a crowd to you, right?
04:49Don't you find it uncomfortable to have to alternate with so many people at the same time?
04:53I like to be alone, but I know how to live in society.
04:56There is nothing wrong with wanting to live in solitude, sister-in-law.
04:59There are people who are loyal and faithful like dogs
05:03and there are others who are independent and grumpy like cats.
05:08So you see me as a cat?
05:11Well, it suits you, Catalina, it suits you.
05:14Cats don't want anyone to get close to them, much less to be caressed on the back.
05:19In any case, don't think I've missed these evenings.
05:22It's better to be silent than to hear certain things.
05:25Yes, I completely agree with you.
05:28Sometimes, in apparently civilized conversations, there are cruel and unfair acts.
05:34It seems to me that you don't point without a purpose and you are referring to a specific act.
05:38Well, yes. I am referring to the injustice that has been committed against my cousin Martina,
05:43locking her in that sanatorium, against her will.
05:48What's so unfair about trying to heal someone who is sick?
05:51My cousin is not sick.
05:53It seems to me that perhaps with your coming and going from the hangar you have lost some information.
05:58No, no. I have all the information and I am clear that my cousin is innocent
06:03and that she would never end anyone's life.
06:06This dinner was to celebrate Manuel and Curro's return
06:10and it is becoming a conversation full of cross-references.
06:14Well, I think your daughter had a lot of accumulated conversations.
06:19Well, I want to propose a toast to Manuel and Curro.
06:24Although he is not at his disposal.
06:30We are all delighted that you are back, safe and sound.
06:37To Manuel and Curro.
06:42I'm sorry.
06:43Don't worry, I'll pick it up.
06:46Don't worry, don't worry.
06:48I'll bring you a new set of blankets right now.
06:51It won't be necessary. A knife and fork will be enough.
06:54I say this to make the task easier.
06:57I don't think your guest knows how to use the rest of the blankets.
07:00Bring him the complete set, Salvador.
07:04The complete set.
07:06Yes, sir.
07:15To Manuel and Curro.

08:44To Manuel and Curro.
08:45To Manuel and Curro.
08:56I think we should remake the jam from before.
09:03Back from the same times that the leader of Damat died before us,
09:07things have gone wrong.
09:09He's still making a profit, but at the cost of increasing the hours of work of the women of the village and lowering their pay.
09:16That man has the soul of a blacksmith. It is believed that instead of a maid, he has a nail.
09:19I'm fed up with him.
09:21What hurts me the most is that we no longer make original and different jams.
09:24And where did the grace go?
09:26I tried them and they were delicious.
09:28What sense does it make to make jams of the lot, huh?
09:31Worse than jams of the lot, Lope.
09:33The captain uses the worst fruit there is and is also about to pass out.
09:37Instead of throwing it to the pigs, he takes it for the jams.
09:41It is impossible to make a good product, no matter how hard we try.
09:44Much less a product as special as the one we offered before.
09:49With the illusion that I had put it on, the young lady has finished the business.
09:53That business was very well thought out and it also gave very good benefits.
09:56That's why I tell you that instead of wasting time in lamentations,
10:00let's get down to work and make the jams we made before.
10:05Erase and new account.
10:07Well, old account in this case.
10:09What we have to do is go back to the previous one.
10:11But that's not that easy, Simona.
10:13Neither easy nor difficult, Candela. Everything is to get started.
10:16I'm sure that if we sell the jams,
10:18we get the happy 550 pesetas that Virtudes needs in a Santiamén.
10:23And maybe we even get more money for the child's accommodation.
10:27One thing is true, those jams were out of our hands.
10:30Of course.
10:31It's a big business and we're going to make that money and more.
10:34I'm sure.
10:35What do you say, Candelilla?
10:37I'm going to tell you that I'm with you to the end of the world.
10:39And if Lope and Virtudes come, you're happy that we're going to the end of the world.
10:44The first thing we have to do is, with the money we have already raised,
10:46take it to start with all this.
10:48With the first sales we are going to get plenty of money for Virtudes and her child.
10:51You are all so good.
10:53The jams are good, they are of category.
10:56I'm already looking forward to putting my hands to work.
10:58Well, before we get down to work, we have to consult it with the rest.
11:02Do you agree? We're going to need a lot of help.
11:04We don't agree, we don't agree.
11:05We don't agree, Mrs. Simona.
11:06But we have to start now, I'm already excited and eager to start.
11:09I'm already excited and eager to start.
11:31And do you personally work the land or supervise the day laborers?
11:36Well, the truth is that I am not a landowner,
11:40just a simple landlord of the land of Mr. Marqué.
11:45And thanks to the landlords, the crops of the farm are sustained.
11:50But the fact is that I don't have any day laborer on my shift.
11:54So, do you take care of everything yourself?
11:58Well, in times of harvest, some man from the town comes to help us.
12:03For him to pick up, of course.
12:06No, both.
12:12So, do you work the land with your hands?
12:16It is obvious that he works with his hands.
12:18There is nothing more than looking at them.
12:23There is nothing wrong with working the land with your hands.
12:26Nor cheating the newspaper with the sweat on your forehead.
12:30Catalina, don't talk about sweat on the table, I beg you.
12:32It's disgusting.
12:35As far as I understand, Catalina is helping you manage your lands.
12:39That's right.
12:41I was surprised.
12:43I didn't even understand that you wanted to put that kind of activities aside.
12:48I try to advise him with my experience.
12:50Congratulations, young man.
12:52I congratulate you.
12:53I don't know what kind of spell you have cast on my niece to overturn her will.
12:59Don't listen to him, Adriano.
13:02Sometimes my uncle uses a bit of a barracks humor.
13:08And a lot of honor.
13:10In the army, you learn to laugh at everything.
13:12Even death.
13:20I guess a slacker like you doesn't have many opportunities to sit at a table like this.
13:25I admit that I've never seen so many glasses and a blanket.
13:29It shows.
13:31Well, keep this experience in your memory in case you don't have a chance to repeat it.
13:34Well, that's enough!
13:36I'm not saying it in a bad way, Catalina.
13:38I'm sure it's much more comfortable to sit at a more modest table
13:42and not have to be aware of the label and the wardrobe.
13:46It's obvious that your friend is not comfortable with that suit.
13:50As good as he feels it.
13:53As good as he feels it.
13:55By the way, isn't that suit from your old fiancé?
14:05You know it perfectly well, but it's obvious that you had to bring up Pelayo's name at this table, right?
14:10I'm sorry.
14:11I didn't want to bother you.
14:22I'm sorry.
14:35Don't look at me like that, girls.
14:38No, Mrs. Pia, it's just that she scared us to death, what can I say?
14:42And I thought Hanna was going to be able to ration it.
14:45Come on!
14:47If we died, it would be that.
14:49Look, you're exaggerating, María Fernández.
14:51I'm not exaggerating, don't judge me, Mrs. Pia.
14:54Look how you are, still trembling.
14:56Trembling.
14:58Are you sure you feel better?
15:00Yes, I'm much better.
15:02I don't even know what happened to me.
15:04Yeah, but it happens to you several times, right?
15:07I'm fine, Hanna, I'm fine.
15:11Tell us the truth, Mrs. Pia.
15:14That it's no use lying to me.
15:16And besides, I think that so much confinement is making her sick.
15:21That's just it.
15:23I mean, all the hours we thought she was sleeping,
15:26she was actually in a kind of semi-consciousness.
15:31There's something about that.
15:33I'm ... I'm bored, I'm ... I'm sad.
15:38And the tension too, I guess, I don't know.
15:41Maybe something's wrong with her body.
15:43Don't scare me, Hanna, please.
15:45I don't mean to scare you, Mrs. Pia, but if you told me right away what you feel,
15:48maybe I could find out what's wrong with her.
15:50Tell Hanna that I trust her.
15:52But if I've already told you, Maria,
15:54I'm really fine, it's just that I'm bored, worried and ...
16:00and sad.
16:07And on top of that, I feel that every day I have less strength than the day before.
16:11Because if at least I had energy, I could move or ...
16:15or dance, like you.
16:16But just thinking about it exhausts me.
16:24What are you doing, Hanna?
16:26What do you mean, what are you doing?
16:28Continuing with the planned plan, please.
16:30It took us a lot of effort to get here, didn't it?
16:36I think we should start rationing the food,
16:39so that when we leave, we have enough.
16:41You're right.
16:43Besides, it's very difficult to get here.
16:44We have to make sure she's okay when we leave.
16:48But wait a minute, when are you going to leave?
16:50Not yet.
16:52But at some point we'll have to go and see if it's safe to get her out of here.
16:57We're running out of time, Mr. Baeza gave us.
17:00And we should ration the food so that when we leave,
17:04she can hold out as many days as possible.
17:06Just in case.
17:07Just in case.
17:12She has to be strong.
17:14And for that, she has to eat well.
17:18What's wrong?
17:22Well, I'm shaking.
17:25Just thinking that ...
17:28that I'm alone again.
17:37I'm sorry.
18:08Virtudes, are you still here?
18:12I was finishing to fill the bottle of ammonia that had run out.
18:17That's why you have gloomy eyes?
18:20Because of the ammonia?
18:26Virtudes, are you okay? Did something happen?
18:29Yes.
18:31Come on, tell me what's bothering you.
18:33But ...
18:35Come on, tell me what's bothering you.
18:38No, it's nothing bad.
18:41Well, it's good that you're hiding it, because your face doesn't look the same.
18:47It's for my son.
18:51My mother had an idea to get the money and get my son back.
18:57Come on, tell me.
18:59Ay.
19:01It's about selling jams, like the ones they made for Miss Catalina.
19:05I've tried them, and they're exquisite.
19:07And they're the best of originals.
19:09My mother is convinced that the sale of jam will bring good returns.
19:13And I also believe it.
19:15It seems like an excellent idea.
19:17Well, yes.
19:20Well, then I still don't understand why you're like this.
19:24It's pure excitement, Vera.
19:26Even if it's not frequent, you also cry with joy.
19:30And when that happens, it's beautiful.
19:35I had never received the love of so many people.
19:39All of you ...
19:42You have been very generous.
19:45You have offered me your help without asking for anything in return.
19:50And what's wrong with helping others?
19:53Nothing.
19:56But one does not get used to being shown so much love.
20:01Calm down.
20:04You ...
20:08You have opened your arms to me.
20:12And your hearts.
20:16Come on, give me a hug.
20:25No.
20:41Salvador.
20:43Sir, what are you doing here?
20:45I'm sorry, it was my intention to scare you.
20:47No, it's just that you arrived so stealthily and stealthily that ...
20:51Yes, you're right, but it's because I don't want anyone to discover me.
20:53Salvador, I have to ask you a very important favor.
20:57But you have to refrain from asking any questions about it.
21:00Don't worry. Curiosity killed the cat.
21:03And the street too.
21:05Good.
21:07You see, I have come to you because you are the one I trust the most.
21:11And also because of my cousin Curro.
21:13Curro?
21:15Is he worse, Mr. Curro?
21:17No questions, no questions.
21:19Sorry.
21:21Salvador, you must say that you are in charge of ...
21:23It must be you and only you who take the food to his room.
21:26And in the mornings you will clear his bed and disorganize his room
21:30for when the maids arrive to clean.
21:32Well, I understand that, he is already in charge of doing it himself.
21:35Sorry if it sounds like a question.
21:37I shut up.
21:39No, I understand your strangeness.
21:42You see, I can only tell you that Curro can't do it.
21:47Because he can't find the promise.
21:49So he's asking me to cover the absence of the little man.
21:53Indeed.
21:55Salvador, it must seem that he is still here.
21:58Nobody should notice that he has left.
22:00And where do I say that he has gone?
22:03When someone comes to clean the room or when he has a visit?
22:08In that case, say that he is taking a bath.
22:12Or that he is taking the air, riding a horse.
22:14It is of vital importance.
22:17Nobody should find out about this, Salvador.
22:20Don't worry, sir.
22:21Nobody will.
22:23Good.
22:27Here.
22:29No, no, no, please, no.
22:31Salvador, it is a gratification.
22:33I understand that what I am asking you is out of your attributes.
22:36It is ...
22:38It is not necessary, really, sir.
22:40For me it is already a great honor that you trust me.
22:42Whatever happened to Mr. Curro,
22:45I will fulfill your orders.
22:47I will make the bed as if he were still sleeping there
22:49and I will cover him when someone comes to his bedroom.
22:57I want to tell you that what you are doing is for a good cause.
23:00I have no doubt, sir.
23:02You will have your reasons, but I am sure they are fully justified.
23:07Thank you, Salvador.
23:09I will sleep more peacefully tonight.
23:11I am glad to favor your rest.
23:19Good night.
23:37A perfect brush.
23:39You can give it to Captain de la Bata.
23:41Good morning, Ricardo.
23:43Good morning, Romulo.
23:45I see you more serene than yesterday.
23:47It is always good to consult the problems with the pillow
23:50before making hasty decisions.
23:52Excuse me, I was very angry.
23:54What, a lot?
23:56You didn't spit in my mouth, but almost.
23:58It's just that Mrs. Arcos sulfurates me.
24:00She gets the worst out of me.
24:02No, and of everyone.
24:04You have to learn not to get out of your boxes.
24:06Yes.
24:07I suppose so.
24:09Still, I was very worried yesterday
24:11because you even wanted to talk about giving up the promise.
24:15Well, it's what I really thought.
24:17I see.
24:19I hope you have reconsidered.
24:21Don't you realize that if you don't,
24:23she will get away with it?
24:25Well, I guess that's it.
24:27Thank you.
24:29No, don't talk like that.
24:31Don't let Mrs. Arcos push you
24:33to throw everything out the window.
24:35I can't with her.
24:37I've served you for many years at home
24:39and I've never come across someone so harmful.
24:42Take it as a challenge.
24:44Ignoring his sarcasm and his ignominy
24:47will not only make you a better mayor,
24:49but also a better person.
24:51Yes, I suppose that if you are able to maintain serenity
24:53when that lurking snake is by your side,
24:56you become a little less than an altar saint.
24:59Man, look at me.
25:01I'm about to canonize.
25:05Okay, okay.
25:07I won't go, Romulo.
25:09That's what I wanted to hear.
25:11But still, the injustices bother me.
25:13I'm still convinced that Petra
25:15was the one who sent the invitation
25:17for Mrs. Margarita's snack.
25:19I can't assure you that,
25:21but I wouldn't be surprised either.
25:23That woman is capable of that and much more.
25:25But she never does anything
25:27if it's not with a purpose.
25:29What can she gain by acting this way?
25:31I already told you.
25:33Leaving me in the wrong place.
25:34Presenting a snack to someone
25:36who hasn't been invited
25:38only shows a fragrant lack of organization.
25:40And who was it for to send those invitations?
25:42To you.
25:44Ah, there you have it.
25:46That woman is willing to sink me.
25:48Yes, and from what I see, she can get it.
25:50Don't let yourself be dragged down by her.
25:52Don't do anything you might regret later.
25:56I finally find you, Mr. Baeza.
25:58How can I help you?
26:00Mrs. Margarita wants to talk to you as soon as possible.
26:02She just finished breakfast
26:04and I have no idea what she wants to talk about.
26:06About the invitations and the happy snack.
26:08I'm coming with you.
26:10Yes, yes, it's also my responsibility.
26:12No, it's better if you don't come
26:14if it's not strictly necessary.
26:16But Rómulo, if...
26:18If she hasn't asked me to come alone, I'll go alone.
26:20Besides, don't worry.
26:22I'm used to this kind of talk.
26:24I'm the head of the office.
26:34You could cut the tension with a knife.
26:36Besides, you know how men are.
26:38They take off their skin,
26:40but they never lose their shape.
26:42And the food?
26:44Well, delicious, but they almost didn't taste it.
26:46They were too busy throwing reproaches.
26:48But the dinner was for Mr. Manuel.
26:51What about Mr. Curro?
26:53Yes, well, they have been able to return from the war,
26:56but what happened yesterday, that was a war.
26:58A verbal war, yes, without blood.
27:00Which is not little.
27:01But how could everything be so annoying?
27:03Well, it was the presence of a friend of Miss Catalina
27:06that changed everything.
27:08Adriano, maybe?
27:10Yes, I know him.
27:12He's a boy, a farm worker.
27:14He's a slacker.
27:16A slacker and a scoundrel.
27:18I don't know who comes up with that eccentricity
27:20of inviting someone like him to a tag dinner.
27:23But he's Miss Catalina's friend.
27:25That woman has completely lost her mind.
27:27The retreat, instead of rehabilitating her,
27:30what it has done has been to wild her even more, if it fits.
27:33I remind you that you are the key master of this house
27:36and that this is not a proper way to talk about the lady.
27:42It is true that the one who was most noticed lost
27:45was this guy Adriano.
27:47He didn't know how to use the blankets,
27:49he didn't know how to distinguish a glass of wine from a glass of water.
27:52Like a little fish out of the water, poor thing.
27:54That's it.
27:55But at least Miss Catalina was giving him directions
27:58discreetly all the time.
28:00I don't want to give Mrs. Petra the reason,
28:04but with a worker, she shares a table and butter with the gentlemen.
28:09It's not usually the usual,
28:11but he was Miss Catalina's guest
28:13and he also had the benefit of Don Manuel,
28:15who was the honored one, so...
28:17What a way to ruin a dinner
28:19that should have been unique and emotional.
28:21I understand Miss Marquesa more and more
28:23when she gets angry with Miss Catalina's behavior.
28:26Everyone has to know what position they occupy in this society.
28:31Don't overdo it, Mrs. Petra.
28:33I don't overdo a pencil, Salvador.
28:35Don't you realize, Miss Catalina,
28:37that with all those libertarian ideas of yours,
28:40you would lose everything you have?
28:42So much suffragette literature has made you lose your mind.
28:46Those books should all be burned in a pyre.
28:50Books should never be burned.
28:51Books should never be burned, Mr. Arcos.
28:54If Miss Catalina invited that boy to dinner,
28:57she would have her reasons.
28:59I agree with Simona.
29:01If she considers him her friend,
29:03she must have seen him.
29:05Good manners and nobility.
29:07Well, I didn't know him,
29:09I didn't know anything about him,
29:11and suddenly I saw him dressed as Frank,
29:13who looked like a glove to her,
29:15and I said, this guy can't be Labriego.
29:17Yeah, Frank, who was Mr. Pelayo's.
29:19By the way,
29:21I was informed that Miss Catalina sent you to look for him.
29:24Yes, yes.
29:26Mrs. Marquesa made it clear in front of everyone
29:29that the suit belonged to the old fiancé of Miss Catalina.
29:32Did she really say that?
29:34Yes, yes. It was a rather unfortunate comment.
29:36And with bad taste and bad manners,
29:39we don't walk on thin ice.
29:41How outrageous.
29:43The street is judging the hand that feeds them,
29:45and Labriego is sitting at the table of the gentlemen
29:47as if he were one more.
29:49If this is not the end of the world,
29:51may God come and see him.
29:57What I don't understand
29:59is how such a blatant misguidance could have happened.
30:01Couldn't it be a little more specific, ma'am?
30:03Well, I thought it was common knowledge
30:05that the Duchess of Carril showed up unannounced
30:07at the dinner I had organized.
30:09Well, I had no idea.
30:11Well, that's how it was.
30:13And I can assure you that she was not on my guest list.
30:15So how could she come?
30:17Well, that's where the mystery lies.
30:19Imagine that I was stunned
30:21when I suddenly ran into the Duchess of Carril
30:23as if she came out of nowhere.
30:25I understand.
30:27And I also know that she received an invitation from me.
30:29Well, that's weird.
30:31I don't know.
30:33I want to find out who sent that invitation
30:35without my consent.
30:37But who could be interested
30:39that the Duchess of Carril was at your dinner?
30:41Well, that's what I want to find out.
30:43It's a matter of extreme gravity.
30:45It's true that nothing happened this time,
30:47but imagine that someone ungrateful
30:49came to your dinner.
30:51It's certainly a very serious matter, ma'am.
30:53Unfortunately, I cannot help you clarify it.
30:55I was not in charge
30:57of organizing the dinner or the invitations directly.
30:59But you are the one who supervises everything,
31:01aren't you?
31:03Yes, but I have delegated certain tasks
31:05to focus on others
31:07directly related to the palace's attendance.
31:09I see.
31:11I'll take care of it.
31:13Anyway, I would like you to speak
31:15to whoever you have to speak to
31:17to solve this enigma.
31:19If it has been a mistake,
31:21find the person responsible for this negligence.
31:23I will do so, ma'am.
31:25At the moment, I can only apologize
31:27and regret that your dinner was spoiled.
31:29Don't worry.
31:31As I said, nothing has happened.
31:33But we have to prevent these mistakes
31:35so that they don't happen again in the future
31:37with much more serious consequences.
31:39With your permission, ma'am.
31:41Thank you.
31:50Adriano.
31:52Come in, please.
31:54I came to give you back the coat
31:56you lent me for last night's dinner.
31:59You didn't have to do it so hastily.
32:02If it were up to me,
32:04I would have given it back to you
32:06after the same dinner.
32:08I must admit that Pelayo
32:10had an exquisite taste for clothes.
32:12I'm sorry.
32:14I'm sorry.
32:16I'm sorry.
32:17Pelayo had an exquisite taste for clothes.
32:21I'm sorry for my stepmother's comments.
32:23They were unfortunate and very unpleasant.
32:28Caterina, you could have told me
32:30that the coat belonged to your ex-fiancé.
32:33You're right.
32:35I'm sorry.
32:37In any case, don't listen to my stepmother
32:39because she only wants to bother me
32:41and she did it through you.
32:43She killed two birds with one stone.
32:45I've never had a bad drink like this before.
32:48I'm sorry.
32:50I didn't want to put you in such an awkward situation.
32:52And I didn't want you to feel bad.
32:54I don't understand. What did you want?
32:56Nothing.
32:58If I lent you that coat,
33:00it was because I didn't have another one of your size.
33:02In that case, you would have preferred
33:04to wear my own clothes, Catalina.
33:06I wanted you to be elegant.
33:08I mean, those dinners have a label.
33:11Well, I would have preferred
33:12not to attend those dinners.
33:17I'm sorry, Adriano.
33:20Don't be mad at me, please.
33:24I didn't do it on purpose.
33:27What we have is special to me.
33:32Catalina, I'm in love with you.
33:35I already told you.
33:38But I don't want to become your toy.
33:40I know you have enough reasons
33:42to be at war with your stepmother,
33:44but I don't want you to use me against her.
33:48I'm not a pill.
34:10Don't worry.
34:12I just came to leave these books.
34:15I'll leave you alone in your office right away.
34:19Now that we're alone,
34:21we have the opportunity to clarify things.
34:26And what exactly do we have to clarify?
34:28Let's leave a conversation in the middle.
34:30I don't know what you're talking about.
34:32I don't know what you're talking about.
34:34I don't know what you're talking about.
34:36I don't know what you're talking about.
34:37Let's leave a conversation in the middle.
34:40Well, since you're not more specific,
34:42what do you want to talk about?
34:44What happened between us.
34:47No. Something happened to you.
34:49It's obvious.
34:51But I think there was a confusion
34:53and unfortunately you misinterpreted things.
34:56Do those two kisses seem unfortunate to you?
34:58They were involuntary on my part.
35:00You took the initiative and not the other way around,
35:02as you said.
35:04Poor thing.
35:05You kissed me on the lips.
35:07You felt forced, didn't you?
35:09My intention was not to kiss you.
35:11Well, you did.
35:13Because you didn't let me escape.
35:15How many times do I have to repeat it?
35:17No matter how many times you do it,
35:19you won't get it to be true.
35:21Stop it, Maria Antonia.
35:23Don't blame me.
35:25Of course, now you're a poor victim, aren't you?
35:27A happily married man who has suffered
35:29the attack of a harpy.
35:31Don't say things I haven't said.
35:33I'm not stupid, Alonso.
35:35I know my wife is not your fault.
35:37She is.
35:39When what you do to her is to make me jealous.
35:41Please, what are you saying?
35:43Or maybe your reasons are even more twisted.
35:46Maybe those unfortunate kisses we gave each other
35:48made sense and you had to crush your passion for someone.
35:51You're delirious.
35:53How can you distort things like that?
35:56If someone is hiding, manipulating, it's you.
35:59Because if you had nothing to hide,
36:01you would have already told your wife
36:03so as not to give rise to misunderstandings.
36:05She's her best friend.
36:07That's why you want me to leave, isn't it?
36:09To separate from her and not talk to her.
36:12I don't think you care
36:14that she knows what happened.
36:16So we're going to let it be.
36:18Because it's clear
36:20that we're not going anywhere.
36:36I have met you again
36:38and I have also invited you
36:40to deal with the mysterious invitation
36:42of the snack organized by Mrs. Margarita.
36:45An unforgivable negligence.
36:47Let me lead this conversation, Mr. Arcos.
36:52Mrs. Margarita has insisted this morning
36:54that she wants to get to the bottom of the matter.
36:56I agree.
36:58And I?
37:00And I claim that you are satisfied
37:02to know the truth.
37:03I claim that you are satisfied
37:05to know the truth.
37:08I am responsible for the entire service
37:11and I have to be aware
37:13of any irregularities
37:16to avoid the complaints of the gentlemen.
37:18I already made it very clear
37:20that I did not make any mistakes.
37:22I allowed myself to include Vera
37:24in the service of the snack
37:26and to supervise that what was served was appropriate.
37:28And nothing else.
37:30The invitations were things of Mr. Pellicer.
37:31I thought it would be great for you
37:33to get rid of all suspicion.
37:36And I also limited myself
37:38only to fulfill my functions.
37:40Well, of course he didn't do it right.
37:42Don't interrupt, Mr. Arcos.
37:45We have all been very clear
37:47what your opinion is.
37:49In case there was any doubt, Mr. Baez.
37:51Can we do a reconstruction
37:53of the facts, please?
37:55I think Mr. Pellicer should start
37:57since he was in charge
37:59of notifying the guests.
38:01Yes, that's true, yes.
38:03But that task was entrusted to Santos.
38:05I was in charge
38:07and he offered to help me.
38:09On top of the fact that the task was entrusted
38:11to a lackey,
38:13he accuses me of the entanglement
38:15that was formed with the snack.
38:17You have no shame, Mr. Pellicer.
38:19Mrs. Arcos, let's talk.
38:21That's right.
38:23My father was overwhelmed
38:25and the snack had to be prepared
38:27overnight.
38:29So we both agreed
38:31to do it.
38:33What I am very clear about
38:35is that there were five names on that list
38:37and not four,
38:39as Mrs. Margarita assures.
38:41I simply limited myself to writing the name
38:43on each letter and nothing else.
38:45Well, it's your word
38:47against that of a lady.
38:49It is more than evident
38:51that it would weigh more on a scale.
38:53Having more weight
38:55doesn't mean you're right.
38:57We all know that Mrs. Margarita
38:59has her head elsewhere
39:01and the only way to get us out of doubt
39:03is to have that paper with the list.
39:05Impossible.
39:07The paper was thrown in the trash
39:09and it's more than lost.
39:11Anyway,
39:13what sense would it make
39:15for Santos to lie about this?
39:17Why would he include another name?
39:19Well, look at you.
39:21There I agree with you.
39:23The boy has no reason
39:25to do such a stupid thing.
39:27But that doesn't mean
39:29that you gave him a task
39:31and you don't care about his opinion.
39:33Well, let's see if we start
39:35acting accordingly.
39:37Well, since we're not going
39:39to find out the truth
39:41of what happened,
39:43I'll manage this matter
39:45with Mrs. Margarita
39:47in the best way possible.
39:49And what are you going to tell her?
39:51I'll tell Chayega Cerbiz
39:53to admit his mistake
39:55and promise him
39:57that nothing like this will happen again.
39:59But that's assuming
40:01that the boy will be released
40:03as soon as possible.
40:05Besides, if Mrs. Margarita
40:07says that he put four names,
40:09there's no way to convince her otherwise.
40:11I see.
40:13Leave the matter in my hands.
40:15Please, I ask you
40:17to be more careful in the future.
40:19We will.
40:21I'll do it.
40:31♪
41:02♪
41:16¿Dónde estás, Gana?
41:23¿Dónde estás?
41:31¿Dónde estás?
41:39Está esperando, está esperando.
41:43Es la hora del almuerzo, señor.
41:45Enseguida bajo.
41:46♪
42:16♪
42:33So, back to the original jams.
42:35The ones with new and different flavors.
42:37That's it.
42:39And with that mix of jams, sell them.
42:41And the profits, allocate them to the fund
42:43to recover Adolfito
42:44while Virtudes finds another job.
42:47I'm so excited that you're doing this for me.
42:49Virtudes, we do it for you,
42:51for Mrs. Simona and for everyone.
42:53That's it.
42:54We don't stay here with our arms crossed
42:56when we have a problem.
42:58That's right.
42:59I'm looking forward to making the jams,
43:01but first I need
43:03the sugar and the fruit.
43:05We can buy it with the initial collection.
43:07That's what we thought.
43:09Besides, I'm convinced
43:11that we'll get the money back in one sitting.
43:12I can help you,
43:14in case you have any questions.
43:16We don't need any.
43:18Thank you.
43:20Don't mention it, Virtudes.
43:22Anything to help you
43:24bring your creature back,
43:26you're welcome to do.
43:28And you can count on me too.
43:30If I don't have to make the jams, of course.
43:32I'll take care of that.
43:34We'll find you a job
43:36so you can fix your shoulder.
43:38Will you be able to count on the help
43:40of the women of the village?
43:42Yes, thanks to Captain de la Mata
43:44and his business.
43:46And you?
43:48We haven't supervised the jams
43:50for a long time,
43:52so we have time.
43:54I've heard that the captain pays a lot.
43:56Yes, that's right.
43:58It's a shame not to have money
44:00to pay those women as they deserve
44:02and God commands.
44:04Let's see if all this
44:06is going to be a conflict with Don Lorenzo.
44:08For nothing in the world
44:09Virtudes, it's a risk.
44:11After all, we're going to compete
44:13in the sale of jams.
44:15That's why we have to be discreet
44:17and prevent this from happening.
44:19In any case, I also tell you
44:21that no matter how much we sell jams,
44:23ours is a totally different product.
44:25That's right.
44:27Theirs are intended for the sale
44:29to the Spanish army.
44:31And ours, we want them to be
44:33something more humble,
44:35something on a small scale.
44:37And you think that will stop him?
44:39It's not funny at all
44:41that we set up our own business.
44:43Especially because we are vulgar
44:45members of the service.
44:47We are inferior beings.
44:49But it is a risk that we have to assume.
44:51I am willing to assume it.
44:53But you have to make it clear
44:55to everyone who enters the company
44:57everything that is played.
45:00I don't want anyone
45:02to play it for me, Salvador.
45:04Please leave
45:06all this jam business.
45:07It seems pointless to me
45:09and I don't want anyone
45:11to do anything.
45:38Good afternoon.
45:40Good afternoon.
45:42How lonely and thoughtful, right?
45:44Me?
45:46Yes.
45:48You haven't even understood the point.
45:50Yes.
45:52You're right.
45:54And it's one of the best I've found.
45:56What's got you so drunk?
45:59Well, the truth is
46:01that right now I was thinking
46:03about Maria Antonia.
46:05Yes, I was turning my head
46:07because the time has come
46:09for her to continue her life outside the promise.
46:11Don't say that, Alonso.
46:13Maybe a few weeks ago I rushed.
46:15But now that Manuel and Curro have returned
46:17I think their stay here is too much.
46:19I'm sorry, but I still don't understand
46:21why you insist on my friend leaving
46:23when she has done so much for us.
46:25You are more encouraged.
46:27We are all more encouraged
46:29and she has behaved wonderfully.
46:31So?
46:33Why? Does it bother you so much?
46:35No, it doesn't bother me.
46:37She's a good person and a great talker.
46:39And a loyal friend.
46:41Yes.
46:43She's been by your side
46:45in these difficult times
46:47with Manuel at her side
46:49fighting for her life.
46:51Well, I understand less and less.
46:53Cruz, I think she deserves to be set free
46:55and to continue her life outside of here.
46:57Alonso, she told us herself
46:59that she has no commitment outside the promise.
47:01And you know as well as I do
47:03that she needs me too.
47:05Yes.
47:07But I'm afraid
47:09that now that we are all in Palacio
47:11she will have the feeling
47:13that we are putting her aside.
47:15It's a matter of time
47:17for her to feel out of place
47:19and I don't want that to happen.
47:21After all she has done for us
47:23I don't want things to end badly.
47:25Cruz, everything has a beginning and an end.
47:28And prolonging things
47:30more than is convenient
47:32always brings problems.
47:34Why don't you talk to her
47:35and explain it to her?
47:37I'm sure you have more tact than I do.
47:41Okay.
47:43Okay.
48:06Hello.
48:09How are you?
48:12I'm fine.
48:14Why do you ask that question?
48:16I noticed that you were a little upset
48:19when you stopped serving
48:21the snack that Mrs. Margarita
48:23had prepared for her friends.
48:26I'm sorry.
48:28It's not my fault.
48:30It's not my fault.
48:32It's not my fault.
48:33It's your friends' fault.
48:40Vera, you can trust me.
48:42I know something is happening to you.
48:44We may not be dating anymore
48:46but I know you very well.
48:50One of Mrs. Margarita's guests
48:52was my mother,
48:54the Duchess of Carré.
48:57I was stunned
48:59when I saw her face to face.
49:01I guess so.
49:03I had no idea she was Mrs. Margarita's friend.
49:08How did your mother react when she saw you?
49:11She was as surprised as I was.
49:13Even more.
49:15Imagine seeing your daughter
49:17disappeared after so long
49:19and dressed as a maid.
49:21That must have been what shocked her the most.
49:24My mother couldn't get out of her amazement
49:26when she saw she was part of the service
49:28of the Marquise.
49:30But Mrs. Cruz
49:31has a lower rank than she already is.
49:34Now I understand your disconnected face.
49:39I still can't get over that impression.
49:42It's not for less.
49:46What are you going to do?
49:49Now that my family has found me,
49:51I'm in a complicated situation.
49:55Maybe your mother is understanding towards you.
49:59No.
50:01The meeting was a bit violent.
50:03She even slapped me.
50:06Really?
50:09I didn't know it was that bad.
50:13Good manners are always so complicated in my family.
50:21If you need anything,
50:24I'm at your disposal.
50:29But you can trust me.
50:31Really.
50:33I know I've been very rude to you,
50:35but I promised to keep your secret.
50:37And I haven't told anyone.
50:40All I want is to support you.
50:42No conditions.
50:45Thank you.
50:47But there's nothing you can do.
50:50Santos, I'd rather be honest with you.
50:52I'm in love with Lope
50:54and this won't change my feelings.
50:58I know.
51:01I know it's a bit sudden,
51:03but I don't want you to get your hopes up.
51:06I understand. Don't worry.
51:24An invisible airplane?
51:26Yes.
51:28The fabric of these planes
51:29has been replaced with a transparent,
51:31almost invisible material.
51:33A mixture of cellulose and acetic acid.
51:35But it's not a very fragile material.
51:37No, on the contrary.
51:39It has the resistance of an elastic band.
51:41It's very foldable and can't be burned.
51:44And has this plane been tested?
51:46Or is it just a project?
51:48Two years ago, the first tests were carried out
51:50in the summer of 1913.
51:53Sister, at a height of 1,000 metres,
51:55an airplane with this material is invisible.
51:57Don't you think it's incredible?
51:59A lot.
52:01If you don't tell me, I won't give you credit.
52:03But does this have anything to do
52:05with the prototype you're working on?
52:07No.
52:09No, mine has more to do
52:11with the aerodynamic design of a new aircraft.
52:13That's why I'm studying the new models in depth
52:15so I can improve them.
52:18I'd love to see it when you have it, Pergeña.
52:23I will.
52:27I thank you for the visit.
52:29In addition to being pleasant,
52:31it has been very instructive.
52:34I know I get very nervous
52:36when I talk about planes, sister.
52:38Not at all.
52:40I love to see the passion
52:42with which you talk about it.
52:44It was you who got the passion
52:46to do things.
52:51And I'm sorry I gave you up.
52:53I don't think you came to talk to me
52:55about the progress of the aviation.
53:00I know.
53:02I know, last night's dinner
53:04was a complete disaster.
53:09I wouldn't be the one to take away your reason.
53:12Even if it was worse,
53:14it was your invitation.
53:16It was my fault.
53:18I shouldn't have invited Adriano.
53:20I put him in a very violent situation.
53:22Didn't you suspect
53:24that my mother would explode
53:26when you saw yourself appearing with him?
53:28Well, yes, maybe.
53:30But I didn't think it would be that bad.
53:33I thought he would coerce himself
53:35in front of everyone.
53:37I don't know.
53:39I was naive.
53:43You see, something tells me
53:46that if you insist,
53:48if you insisted on taking Adriano
53:50to that family dinner, it was...
53:54Because for you, that man is
53:56something more than just a tenant.
53:59I'm wrong.
54:06Okay, I'll tell you another way.
54:11Is Adriano your boyfriend?
54:18Well, I praise that boy's effort
54:20for trying to behave at the table.
54:23An effort that turned out to be impromptu.
54:25You can't learn good manners in two minutes.
54:27That boy?
54:29He would have needed a century to learn to behave.
54:31No one is born taught.
54:34But there are people who learn faster than others.
54:36And we already know what kind of person
54:38that Adriano was.
54:40Yes, the kind of person
54:42who shouldn't sit at our table.
54:44Although Catalina doesn't seem to understand
54:45something so simple.
54:47She's always been nice to the workers.
54:49There's nothing wrong with that.
54:51Well, yes, there is.
54:53We each have our place, Alonso.
54:55If she wants to get along with those people,
54:57I think that's great.
54:59But not forcing us.
55:01She has a good relationship with him
55:03and she just wanted us to get to know him.
55:05Despite everything,
55:07the party was the most entertaining for me.
55:09Well, that's why I prefer to go to the circus.
55:11I don't want the circus to come to my house.
55:13It will take me centuries
55:15to get used to it.
55:18I'll take it.
55:20I'm waiting for a friend's call.
55:26Yes.
55:31So?
55:33Good.
55:35I understand.
55:37Good afternoon.
55:46It was from Martina's sanatorium.
55:49What happened?
55:52Bad news.
55:55What bad news?
56:15I hope this will serve as an excuse
56:17for Mrs. Margarita and Conde Dayala.
56:19What a nice solution to lock up
56:21the poor girl for being innocent.
56:23Mrs. García, I remember you were talking about the gentlemen.
56:25I'm telling a lie.
56:27We must give the Civil Guard a hand.
56:29And do it.
56:31But what about the Civil Guard?
56:33Can you think of a better way to deal with the situation?
56:35I still think that Mrs. Arcos
56:37is behind all this in one way or another.
56:39Yes, it's possible.
56:41But as long as we don't have proof,
56:43everything has to stay that way.
56:45It's the answer to everything.
56:47So you'll have to find it.
56:49How?
56:51It's all in the trash.
56:53Well, we'll have to look elsewhere.
56:55It couldn't have been a simple misunderstanding.
56:57I don't want to go to bed yet.
56:59Lately, it's been hard for me to reconcile my sleep.
57:02Since you're available at Mrs. Margarita's snack bar,
57:06has something happened at that snack bar?
57:09I met my mother.
57:11And Curro doesn't know anything either?
57:13What does Curro have to do with all this?
57:15It's obvious, isn't it?
57:17Curro was perhaps the person
57:19who had a closer relationship with Martina
57:21before going to war.
57:23And I haven't seen him since his welcome dinner,
57:25which, by the way, he didn't attend.
57:28He knows very well that he loves me.
57:30Has he told you?
57:32Yes.
57:34A beautiful statement.
57:36And I just have to ruin everything.
57:38I invited him because he's my friend.
57:40I know, daughter.
57:42What I don't know is if there was any other intention on your part.
57:46Like what?
57:48You wanted to bother Cruz.
57:50The time has come for us to talk.
57:52And that's not exactly what we're doing.
57:55Your generosity to me has been infinite.
57:58You abandoned all your obligations to take care of my help
58:01when I needed you.
58:03And that's an effort that
58:05I can't keep asking you anymore.
58:07Are you throwing me out of the deal?
58:09I want you to tell me where Curro is.
58:11Come on, Ignacio.
58:13That boy is just sick.
58:15And you shouldn't bother him.
58:17Curro isn't here.
58:19And you know it as well as I do.
