- I found this on one of the seats.
[¶¶¶]
- Have you gone back to Sara's ranch?
- No, I haven't, but I'd love to.
I love that area.
- I came to see you.
Be a man and look at me.
Don't deny that there's a serious relationship
between us.
- Leave.
Leave, will you? Leave!
- Do you know what happened to your mother?
- I have no idea, Gunter.
[¶¶¶]
- What happened, Juan?
- Lover's quarrel.
- I can't leave my mom.
She went out and when she came back, she was really upset,
but she never told me what happened.
- I know exactly what happened to her.
- For our relationship to work,
you have to know everything that happened
and is still happening between your mother and me.
- I want you to leave, Juan Reyes!
- I'm going to leave right now
and I'll only come back when you ask me.
- If someone who was pursuing you wanted to hurt me,
would you stay with him?
- Yes.
[¶¶¶]
- Ma'am.
- What are you doing here?
- Keeping watch. Keeping close watch.
- Is that why you're hiding behind a tree?
- There were a lot of people here today
and I thought I saw someone back here.
- You have no reason to be here.
- It's my job to protect you now that you're alone, ma'am.
I'm sure you must be feeling terrible about what happened
with your husband.
[¶¶¶]
- Still working, Mr. Juan?
You should get some rest.
- I can't slack on my work, Dominga.
- I brought you a glass of milk with a touch of brandy,
like Mr. Martin liked.
I hope you like it, like you liked you room.
- This is the old man's room, I know.
- That's right.
- It's one of the best in the house.
- Just for you.
Have a good night, sir.
- Good night, Dominga.
[¶¶¶]
Norma: Nothing's happened with my husband.
- I know it has, ma'am.
I helped Ms. Rosario myself after her altercation
with your husband.
And by the way, it's still happening.
Don't deny it.
- Is that what you've been telling the other employees
on the ranch?
- Absolutely not, ma'am.
I'm a very cautious, respectful man
and I also know when to keep my mouth shut.
I also want you to know that I'm willing to do anything for you,
whenever you need me.
- If you want to help me, you know what you can do?
- Hmm?
- Stay in your place and do your job.
Don't meddle in my personal life.
And thank you for keeping guard,
but that's not your job.
- But I can help if you need me.
I don't see anything wrong with it.
- Isn't that what the guard is for?
- The guard?
I don't see him anywhere.
I can be here until he shows up. I don't see a problem.
- Do yourself a favor.
Don't come near me unless I ask you.
- Look, Ms. Norma,
I just want you to know
I'm willing to do anything for you.
I just want you to know that I care about you a lot.
Excuse me.
[¶¶¶]
- Martin, how are you?
- Yes, thank you for calling.
- How is Norma?
- She's very sad.
She hasn't taken your absence well.
She's doing terribly.
- I haven't stopped thinking of her for a minute.
I understand that she needs time right now
to gather her thoughts.
After the stupid thing I did,
I only hope she gets better in time.
- Ah.
[¶¶¶]
- I'm very sorry to hear your parents have separated
and that my mother's reckless behavior is the reason.
- Yeah, but they'll make up soon, you'll see.
What about you?
How are you? Are you okay?
- I'm fine. I really want to see you.
I've missed you a lot these past few days.
- So have I. I miss you a lot.
I'm here,
working on things my dad left halfway done.
The twins, the horses... you know.
- I know and I understand that you have to be there for him
right now.
- How's everything with you know what?
Have you spoken to Rosario?
- Yes, we tried to be honest,
but we didn't get too far.
My point of view is very different from hers,
but we respect each other to avoid any permanent rifts.
- Right, I see. - Juan David, come here!
Sweetie, I'm sorry. My brothers are calling me.
I'll call you back in five.
I love you, bye. Kisses.
[¶¶¶]
- Look who it is, the best rider in San Marcos and Seville.
- Olé!
- Cheers.
- Albin, you were incredible.
Not even my father would have done such a great job.
- Sorry, but your father is an excellent rider
and I just hope I was good enough to take his place.
- He still doesn't know that Albin replaced him.
- What do you mean? You haven't told him?
- He was supposed to. - No, no.
I didn't know how.
- In that case, let's hope I took his place
at the festival's closing exposition.
By the way, how is your beautiful mother?
- At home.
To be honest, I've missed her these last few days.
I hope we can get together to have more fun.
[¶¶¶]
- Good evening, Berta.
We had a never-ending meeting at the office.
We barely made it out.
- Would you like me to serve you dinner?
- No, it's too late.
Actually, maybe something light, please.
Thank you.
- What's with these flowers?
- Sorry, ma'am, I left them there
before I took them into the hallway.
I'll move them right away.
- No, leave them there. They're gorgeous.
- I love wildflowers.
- Did you cut them?
- No, ma'am.
Duvan brought them yesterday.
- Has he been coming here?
- Yes, ma'am.
But I already warned him that he could only visit on weekends.
Have you told Mr. Oscar yet that this boy visits you?
- No, we've been so busy. I'll tell him later.
Thank you.
[¶¶¶]
- What happened?
- Juan and Norma's fight.
This separation seems serious.
What could we do to help them?
- It's tricky to meddle in a couple's business.
It's best to stay out of it.
- I'd love to talk to that grouch,
but he's at your mother's house and if I say anything,
he'll probably smack me.
- I know.
Let me talk to Norma and see what I can do.
I don't think it's fair to just throw away a marriage
after so many years.
- No, that can't happen. - No.
[¶¶¶]
- The boss lady is way too arrogant.
It's normal for her to act superior,
but for her to reject me?
No way.
[Chuckles]
- From the sound of it, she sent you packing,
so don't get your hopes up.
What makes you think she and Mr. Juan split up anyway?
- She caught him raping Rosario Montes.
- Shh!
Watch your mouth, man!
He might've felt her up and stolen some kisses,
but from that to raping her?
No way.
- He did something worse.
Ms. Norma ran out of that stable terrified and shouting
and that brute ran after.
Ms. Norma won't forgive that animal.
She'll end up alone and that's when I'll be there,
ready and willing.
She needs a real man.
- Do you think she's like that tramp from the mill?
Snap out of it.
She's not a hussy like all the others you pick up.
She's a respectable lady.
Man, when it comes to sex, all women are the same.
I won't stop until I have her here,
rubbing my chest.
Faster than you think. You'll see.
[¶¶¶]
- Ah.
What a good boy. He's doing his homework.
- I have to do it and study a lot.
I have a test tomorrow.
- Oh.
Where's your mother?
- Not home.
How's your witchcraft going?
- Why do you say that?
When you want to ask, ask me about my job.
I don't know why your mother even told you that.
Where is she?
- I don't know.
She must be nearby. She didn't take the car.
- Yeah, she must be taking one of her strolls
through the forest.
You can't drive there.
- She likes to walk and get fresh air.
- Sure.
Fresh air and bad habits.
Have you eaten?
- No, ma'am.
I'm going to make you something delicious.
Let's see what we have here.
