[Tires squealing] [Scream]
- I can't stop thinking about her.
I feel bad about what happened.
- Hey, don't run away.
What's wrong? Are you afraid of me?
- I'm not afraid of you, but I don't like running into you.
This is no coincidence, it's harassment.
Jimena: What did you want to confess last night?
- There's no need for me to confess right now,
much less when we're so close to the house by the windmills.
- Let's find out how you can help at the hacienda.
- With everything!
- I hope I won't let you or Gaby down,
especially since she trusts me so much.
Demetrio: Do you remember Nino?
He just left Sarita's house.
That means Sara approves of him seeing Gaby.
- You have a visitor. Juan David came to see you.
- Muriel isn't allowed to have visitors in this house.
- You can't stop me from doing anything
or meddle in my personal life.
- Women fall at our feet, but none are like Muriel.
I really like her.
- I don't know... what to say,
but I hope you get well soon.
- Thank you so much.
- I'm gonna go for it. Maybe she'll give me a chance.
- Not if she gives me one first.
PREVIOUSLY
- Oscar.
Oscar!
[Retreating footsteps]
- Oscar!
Oscar!
- Babe! Berta!
Why are you shouting? I was already in bed.
- Oscar, the boy was here.
- What boy?
- The one came by last night. I just saw him!
That boy!
- Wait here and don't leave the house.
- We won't.
- Don't go outside!
Jimena: Uh-huh.
[¶¶¶]
- Duvan.
Duvan!
[¶¶¶]
Duvan!
[¶¶¶]
Jimena: I saw him, I saw him.
I saw him as clear as daylight. I saw him!
- It must've been a possum. They're lots of them around.
You're not one to scare easily or anything like that.
- No, I've seen that boy twice today, Oscar.
It was that boy.
- Maybe it was just a possum.
Could it be that you're having a breakdown?
Look at you. Relax.
- No, I'm not seeing things. Don't treat me like I'm crazy.
I saw him on the street outside the boutique
while I was working on a dress. I saw him, I saw him!
- So are you saying you saw him at the house next?
Honey, please.
- You don't believe me?
- No.
Yes. Yes, yes.
If it were the boy who came by recently,
then we'll stop by the house by the windmills tomorrow.
We'll look into it and clear the air, okay?
[Sighs] - No.
No, no, no.
You don't like going there and I don't want to go back.
I didn't like the woman I met there last time.
- No, no.
It's best if we both calm down and get some rest.
Let's stop thinking about it, okay?
Come here.
[¶¶¶]
- You did it, didn't you, Mom?
- What, honey?
- You hired Nino, Gaby's friend.
- Yes! Gonzalo is training him now.
- I thought you said caring for horses isn't easy.
Shouldn't he have gone through a specialized course
to at least know what he's up against?
- It doesn't require a specialized course per se.
It's a series of simple tasks.
Feed, water, brush the horses, and clean the stables.
Gonzalo is teaching him the ropes.
- Don't we have farmhands who can handle that?
- If it means helping someone, an extra worker isn't a hassle.
Is it just me or do you not like that young man?
- I haven't said anything against him.
- Is something the matter, honey?
- It's always something.
It's silly. Are you going upstairs?
- Yes, later.
- Could you please take that to my room?
I'm heading out to the bar now.
- Sure. I hope you sort things out.
[Cell phone rings] Okay.
- Hello.
- Andres, I thought you were very mad at me.
Why haven't you come to see me? I need to talk to you.
- I tried, but jerk Gunter kicked me out.
He said I had no right to see you
and that Rosario was furious with me.
- Don't mind that bitter man. He's lying.
Here goes.
I need to see you again so you can take me shopping.
Please!
- More shopping? Muriel, come on!
After everything that happened?
- Oh, don't be so paranoid.
We can meet somewhere
and you can come with me to buy some perfume.
- Is it for you? - No, it's for my mother.
We've been arguing a lot lately
and I want to smooth things over.
I want to show her that I love her despite our differences.
What do you say?
- Nino, fodder is a horse's main nutrition.
In other words, hay, alfalfa, straw, or grass.
It's very important that these be very clean.
No dirt, dust or mold. None of that.
- Is that all they eat?
- They obviously require other supplements.
Foods such as barley, corn, oats.
- Hello, Gonzalo.
- Ms. Gabriela, it's a pleasure to see you.
- Who is he? Is he new to the ranch?
- Yes, he just started working with us, ma'am.
He's friends with your granddaughter Gaby.
- Nice to meet you, ma'am.
- Uh-huh.
So he's not working.
My granddaughter's whim was humored
and a position was created for him.
Oscar: Duvan.
Duvan.
Hey.
I need to talk to you. Easy, girl.
Talk to me. Come here.
Hey, why won't you look at me?
Look at me. I want to ask you something.
Were you with your mother in town?
- No, sir.
- And you didn't climb to the roof of my house last night?
- No, sir. - Look at me.
Don't be ashamed.
- I didn't go into town and I didn't go to your house.
I have a question for you, though.
- Shoot.
- When are you going to kick us out of the house?
- What kind of nonsense is that? Who told you that?
- My mom.
She said that you and the woman you married
are going to kick us out like disgusting animals.
[¶¶¶]
- What is your trade, young man?
- My trade? - What do you do?
What do you do for a living?
- Anything, ma'am. - Unbelievable.
You hired someone who has no idea how to run a hacienda
and you're having him look after our horses
who require special care.
Otherwise, you endanger us and the horses.
- With all due respect, Ms. Gabriela,
you should speak with your daughter.
- Are you telling me what to do?
I have the necessary authority to question this young man.
- Why are you talking to me like that?
- What is your ID number?
Where's your letter of recommendation
from your previous employer?
Where is it?
- Hello. What's going on here?
- Nothing. - Nothing?
It seemed to me like you were arguing with them.
Why are you here, Mom?
- You are my daughter.
Do I need a reason to come see you?
- Gonzalo, is everything okay?
- Ms. Gabriela doesn't think we should've hired Nino.
It's best if you work this out with her.
Sara: Thank you. See you later.
What are you up to, Mom?
- I want to protect you.
I have a special report about that young man
and he has no stellar reviews.
- A report of what?
- He's a thug.
Many people say he's a thief.
I think you should get rid of him immediately, Sara.
- And many people is who? Demetrio Jurado, right?
Mom, I manage this hacienda.
We have family partnership that was work very well so far.
Juan and Norma run their ranch, Jimena and Oscar run theirs,
you run your ranch, and I run mine.
Stay out of my business unless I ask you to intervene.
- Unless I feel that you're in danger.
- Who or what is the threat?
Is hiring a young man like Nino a threat?
Come on, Mom!
It's something so simple that I don't have to ask for advice.
- You're telling your own mother to go to hell
and all because of your daughter's whim.
- I do it to stand up for my decision, Mom.
You meddled in my life for years!
This time it's going to be different.
I'm in my hacienda.
I ask that you mind your business and I'll mind my own.
[¶¶¶]
- Spit it out. What is your problem, Romina?
What are you up to? Do you want Duvan to fear me?
Do you want him to hate me? Why'd you say that?
- Wasn't that what you said?
You assured me you'd kick us out to keep your wife
from realizing you lead a double life.
- A double life? What are you talking about?
I have one life!
What happened between us... was a mistake, and you know it.
A one-time incident.
- Are you calling your son a one-time incident?
You're shameless, Oscar.
- You're twisting my words!
That's one of the things I loathe about you.
- I'm straight with my son. He's not a baby.
He's old enough to understand the situation.
I speak to him with the truth.
- The truth you want him to see.
I've been responsible
and you have no right to make Duvan hate Jimena,
much less his father.
- What do you want then?
For me to teach him to venerate the people who've hurt us most?
- What are you talking about?
I've honored all of my responsibilities as a father.
You've never lacked anything.
Jimena doesn't know about your existence.
What hurt are you talking about?
- My son and I should have better living conditions.
We should have the comfort and money we need.
We shouldn't be living in this hole you stuck us in.
Duvan should be able to say who his father is
and I should be your legitimate wife.
- Listen up! - What?
- If you intend to damage my marriage to Jimena,
you will lose all the benefits you've had until now.
You'll have to leave and it'll be without Duvan
because I'll do everything I can to keep Duvan with me
and so he'll never see you again.
Is that clear?
