00:01It's about my guest.
00:04But have you all lost your minds? Alonso?
00:07What kind of guest is the old fiancé of your daughter?
00:10That's something they have to decide.
00:13What have you brought him for?
00:15The Count of Añil and I are considering resuming our relationship.
00:19So you don't even have any dignity left?
00:21Cruz.
00:23How dare you talk about dignity
00:25when you've been in charge of airing the family's dirty rags against Pelayo and me?
00:29Again with that?
00:30Because it was very serious.
00:31Look, one thing is clear.
00:33If there are dirty rags to air, it's thanks to you.
00:36You dragged Lujan's last name through the mud
00:38and you're willing to do it again.
00:41And you, Alonso?
00:43What's the matter? Have you already forgotten what the Count of Añil did to us?
00:45No.
00:47But it seems regrettable, or so I want to believe.
00:49No, this is incredible.
00:51If my daughter thinks she deserves another chance, it's her decision.
01:00You'd better not be wrong.
01:06Mr. Baeza, have the Count of Añil's belongings taken away and a dormitory prepared for him.
01:10Thank you, Marques.
01:16Thank you, Father.
01:20I hope I'm doing the right thing.
01:23Mother, I don't know why he's back, but he can leave now.
01:27And if what you want is for him to come back to you, I'm telling you it won't happen.
01:30I think the last time I spoke to you, I was clear enough to tell you again.
01:34I'm not going back.
01:37I'm very happy here and I already told you the last time.
01:40Being the daughter of a Marquis, please.
01:42I don't want him to understand, I just want him to respect it.
01:45Open your eyes, this is not your place.
01:48Open your eyes, this is not your place.
01:51You are my daughter, you are the daughter of a Duke Mercedes.
01:54Don't call me that again.
01:56My name is Vera, here and everywhere, because this is my place.
02:01Honey, I understand perfectly the reasons that led you to take refuge in the promise.
02:07But things have changed a lot since you left.
02:10Your father, although it is difficult for him to recognize it, misses you.
02:13You know that's impossible.
02:14He has given orders that no one touch your room,
02:17that you are always prepared for when you return, because he doesn't want to lose hope.
02:21But every day that passes and this doesn't happen, it goes away.
02:25And the same goes for your brothers, honey.
02:27You have to come back.
02:29I don't understand how he can ask me something like that.
02:31He knows perfectly well why I left.
02:33I'm sure he would be willing to forgive you.
02:36My father is a monster.
02:38And you know it perfectly well.
02:41When I denounced him, I exposed all the abuses he had committed for so many years.
02:45God knows how much money and how many due favors got him out of prison.
02:50But his name is already stained and that won't forgive me.
02:54I know. I know it's very difficult.
02:57But if you showed regret, I'm convinced that he would forgive you.
03:01And I, I could protect you.
03:04I don't regret anything, mother.
03:07And I'm sorry to tell you, but your protection comes too late.
03:13Mercedes.
03:14I don't insist.
03:16Just do me the favor of not coming back.
03:19It's not good for either of us.
03:23So there's nothing I can do for you to change your mind?
03:28You know it perfectly well.
04:07I'm sorry to interrupt you, ma'am, but I bring you your correspondence.
04:12Do you want me to order you to upload something of Pepe?
04:15Is it too soon for a cognac?
04:18No, better a glass of Laudano.
04:20Even the cicuta of Ayala would not disgust him right now.
04:27María Teresa Sánchez de García, this is for you.
04:31Baronesa de Cienfuegos, this one too.
04:34Baronesa de Cienfuegos, this one too.
04:36And what should I answer, ma'am?
04:38Well, tell them whatever you want.
04:39Because in the end, they are going to come up with something much worse against us and they will apologize for all the liars.
04:45But this, read it to me.
04:48It's from the Duchess of Cerezuelos.
04:50I want to know what she takes into account in everything.
04:53Of her feast of coestation.
04:56Dear Marquesa, the reason for these letters is nothing more than the deep ...
05:00To the point, Petra. To the point.
05:03Well, actually, what it is to thank and comment on the good deed of Miss Martina during the evening.
05:11And she is also interested in the state of health of her stepdaughter.
05:14I knew it.
05:15What else does she say?
05:17Well, that she wants her to feel better.
05:20And what else does she say?
05:22Well, that she wants her to feel better.
05:25And that when this is the case, she wants to invite you to a pisco lavis in her gardens.
05:29Will it be gossipy?
05:31Do you want to know about Catalina?
05:33Well, Catalina will know.
05:34Answer her. Answer her.
05:35Tell her that Catalina is not as sick as she assumes.
05:38But that she has been backbiting with the Count.
05:43That is the reason for your anger, isn't it, ma'am?
05:46Not at all.
05:47They can turn against me.
05:49What bothers me is that they have come to make the promise.
05:52It is that Miss Catalina has returned.
05:55You are in deep trouble, Petra.
05:56You should be aware of these things.
05:58You forgive me.
05:59But yes.
06:00She has returned.
06:01And from the hand of that incompetent, relentless pussy.
06:05If you think I can do something to alleviate your anguish ...
06:08Yes, you can. Yes.
06:09Leave me alone.
06:18Can we talk?
06:21About what?
06:24About the scene you set in the living room in front of Pelayo.
06:28And what? Do you think it was wrong?
06:30What should I have done?
06:31Receive him with open arms as if he were another son?
06:33I don't agree with his return either.
06:35No, of course.
06:36That's why his luggage is in one of the balconies.
06:39I do everything for my daughter.
06:41If you want to do something for your daughter, Alonso,
06:43you should force her to marry you.
06:45What are you saying?
06:47Well, those two have been living together in the Count's palace without a carabiner.
06:50Do you need me to explain it to you more clearly?
06:52I do not allow you to doubt the virtue of my daughter.
06:55They have said that not even their relationship is firm.
06:57And what did you expect?
06:58That I would explain to you who they have been playing?
07:02If you want to do things right, Alonso,
07:04you should fix the wedding now and then leave.
07:08Or you will have to assume the consequences.
07:10And then leave.
07:12Or you will have to assume the consequences.
07:35Yes?
07:36How are you?
07:38In a very big problem.
07:42What happened?
07:46I lost one of the earrings my mother lent me.
07:48Your grandmother's?
07:50Yes.
07:52I don't know how it happened.
07:54I had them.
07:56They bothered me.
07:58I put them in my bag.
08:00When I was coming back from the Duchess of Cerezoles,
08:02I realized that one of them had disappeared.
08:04How am I not going to look properly in the bag?
08:08I don't know.
08:10Look at it for the good side.
08:12What good side?
08:14That you still keep one.
08:16Enough to honor your grandmother's memory.
08:18A pendant alone is useless.
08:20There are things that make no sense without their partner.
08:22I see.
08:24But in the meantime, you have to take care of this one.
08:26Until your partner appears.
08:30What if he never appears?
08:34It's not about hope.
08:36It's not about hope.
08:38It's about reality.
08:40And the reality is that recovering something that has been lost
08:42is very difficult.
08:44But I think that with time
08:46and patience
08:48everything is possible.
08:52Well, I'm afraid that patience
08:54will take too long
08:56and it will be impossible
08:58to recover what has been lost.
09:00No, that's not going to happen.
09:02No.
09:04No if you keep the most important thing.
09:06The will.
09:10I don't lack that.
09:12Neither do I.
09:16Can we
09:18speak clearly?
09:22Well, that has never been our forte.
09:24I know.
09:33I love you.
09:38And you love me.
09:40That's true.
09:44But whenever we have tried
09:46to formalize it,
09:48even if it has been between us,
09:50it has not gone badly.
09:56Well, maybe
09:58we should
10:00not name
10:02our love.
10:06Yes. Yes, yes.
10:08Okay.
10:10Let's go step by step.
10:12And enjoying whatever comes.
10:14Whatever it is.
10:22Everything okay?
10:26Uh ...
10:30What's going on here, Martina?
10:34That I have lost one of the pendants
10:36that I lend myself.
10:50Thank you very much for receiving me, Mr. Baeza.
10:52Of course, Miss ...
10:54Miss Villamil.
10:56How can I help you?
11:01Look, yesterday
11:03I told some of my colleagues
11:05that I was in La Promesa just in passing.
11:07I see. But what you need
11:09is a job.
11:11The devil knows better
11:13about the old man than the devil.
11:15I don't want to put you in a commitment, Mr. Baeza.
11:17You can't put me in any commitment.
11:19Yesterday, as soon as I found out
11:21about your visit, I started doing
11:23the relevant management.
11:25Really?
11:27So I could go back to work at La Promesa?
11:30He left a few months ago.
11:32But do you remember Mrs. Carranza?
11:34Yes, of course. Virtudes, Mrs. Simona's daughter.
11:36Well, a few days ago,
11:38she left her job as a maid.
11:40I don't mean to say that she will degrade herself.
11:42No, you left the house
11:44as a maid and as such you would return to the service.
11:49I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Baeza.
11:51No, don't do it yet.
11:53I still have to talk to Mrs. Arcos.
11:55After all, she is responsible for the female staff.
11:57Of course, I understand, Mr. Baeza.
11:59In fact,
12:01I don't understand
12:03why I didn't get your request through her.
12:05Because I understand
12:07that your relationship in the past was very good.
12:09Yes.
12:11In fact, my first intention was to talk to her,
12:13but let's say
12:15that her reception was rather cold.
12:17And I suspect that
12:19my husband's presence had something to do with it.
12:21Leave it to me.
12:23I know how to convince
12:25Mrs. Arcos to accept
12:27your reincorporation.
12:29As soon as I have news,
12:31I will let you know.
12:35Thank you very much, Mr. Baeza.
12:39There is one more thing
12:41that I would like to ask you.
12:43Go ahead.
12:45Vera, it's about
12:47my husband.
12:49He also had to quit his job
12:51after our wedding.
12:53And he quit his job
12:55in the town's stockade.
12:57And he did it for me.
12:59I understand.
13:01I'm sorry to tell you that I have nothing to offer you right now.
13:03But anyway,
13:05tell me what your experience is
13:07and as far as I can,
13:09I will help you find a job.
13:11Really?
13:13Yes. Well, if he was in charge of the stockade,
13:15I suppose he would have accounting options.
13:17No, he worked as a waiter.
13:19And has he worked before
13:21in a renowned house?
13:23He has always worked in the fields,
13:25in very simple jobs.
13:27But he is a good man and he is always willing to learn.
13:29Well, we'll see what we can do.
13:31Thank you very much, Mr. Baeza.
13:33As soon as I have news of Mrs. Arcos,
13:35I will let you know.
13:51Jara.
13:53Jara.
14:09What is this?
14:21Well, what do you think?
14:25It seems to me that you have advanced
14:27a lot in such a short time.
14:29If my calculations are correct,
14:31he will not only have greater autonomy than Gleriot,
14:33but he will also surpass
14:47And that means what?
14:49That we could go to our beach
14:51in a Santiameno.
14:53Although soon we will have to escape
14:55to be able to be together.
15:05How are things going in the service area?
15:07I have heard that Simona's daughter
15:09has left La Promesa.
15:11Yes, she had to go
15:13to take care of her son.
15:15And how is Simona?
15:17Well, with a broken heart,
15:19because on the one hand she knows
15:21that it is best for virtues,
15:23and also for her grandson,
15:25but on the other hand,
15:27she has been separated for a long time
15:29and it hurts her to leave.
15:31Of course.
15:33And why does she have to leave?
15:35Can't she take care of her son here,
15:37in La Promesa?
15:39Well, if you could ask your mother,
15:41who is the one who does not want
15:43the Frías to have children here.
15:45In any case,
15:47we thought that Virtudes could stay
15:49at least in Luján, and in fact
15:51she got a fantastic job, but
15:53everything went wrong.
15:55Why?
15:57Because she was going to work
15:59taking care of the parish,
16:01but you know that Don Fermín left Luján.
16:03If I am honest with you,
16:05lately I have been doing very little with the church.
16:07But anyway,
16:09the new priest will have arrived,
16:11because he does not work for him.
16:13I'm sorry, but it turns out that
16:15the priest who replaces Don Fermín
16:17is a young priest
16:19and he wants to do things his way.
16:21And what does that mean?
16:23That he does not want to have anyone at his service.
16:25And then, who is going to cook
16:27or do the laundry for him?
16:29I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe
16:31a man with a bathtub in front of the stoves.
16:33And cleaning a stain from the clothes.
16:37He will soon change his mind.
16:39You'll see.
16:41Are you sure?
16:43I am.
16:45I know he will have arrived eagerly,
16:47I do not argue with that,
16:49but I assure you that he will soon be removed.
16:51The moment he meets his new faithful Beatonas,
16:53he will have so many gossip and criticism
16:55that he will not have time to fry an egg.
16:59Cheer up.
17:01You will see how sooner or later
17:03Simona is back with her daughter and her grandson.
17:05Yeah.
17:07I'm not like that for that.
17:09It's just that,
17:11when talking about us,
17:13our wedding, the beach ...
17:15I have remembered that
17:17Don Romulo knows about us.
17:21We have already talked about it.
17:23There is nothing to worry about.
17:25I'm not worried, Manuel.
17:27I'm just ashamed.
17:29Ashamed? Why?
17:31Because I lied to him.
17:33And because now I have to cross him through the corridors
17:35and I don't even know what face to put on him.
17:39My love,
17:41those ghosts are only in your head,
17:43I assure you.
17:45Do you think I have never thought that ...
17:47I don't know, I would have liked
17:49that our story was different.
17:51And do you know what I do when that happens?
17:53I immediately discard that idea.
17:57Wouldn't you have liked
17:59that ours was a little easier?
18:03No.
18:05Why?
18:07Because our story,
18:09as it is with its difficulties,
18:11is what has made us get here.
18:15And I wouldn't change that for anything in the world.
18:19Come.
18:25Manuel, what's going to happen to someone?
18:29Why don't we see each other this afternoon?
18:31No, I can't.
18:33This afternoon I have met my mother to go to the theater.
18:37Don't make that face.
18:39You know I would stay with you all afternoon.
18:41But I owe it to her.
18:43I know, silly.
18:45You don't have to give me excuses to go see your mother.
18:49Now I have to be with her more than ever.
18:51Because
18:53I'm sure that when we get married
18:57something will break between her and me.
18:59Something will break between her and me.
19:05I'm very sorry, Manuel.
19:07You don't have to apologize.
19:09I have already assumed it.
19:11And now my mother will have to assume
19:13that there is nothing I say or do
19:15that changes a bit the love I feel for you.
19:19I love you.
19:23And I love you.
19:29Let the air out, Manuel.
19:31I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.
19:49Damn my stamp!
19:51Don't curse me, Candela.
19:53It's just that a piece of cloth has been cut off.
19:55I already told you it wasn't a good idea
19:57for me to prepare the mayonnaise.
19:59And why? You've done it a thousand times.
20:01Because I'm with those days.
20:03You know, with Juana Menesera
20:05who visits you every month.
20:07But are you still in those days?
20:09What's wrong? Do you think it's weird?
20:13Maybe it's better for you to make the mayonnaise.
20:15Come on, don't be silly.
20:17It has nothing to do with anything else.
20:19They are old monsters.
20:21Well, it looks like it.
20:23Have you added the apocryphal oil?
20:25Well, no.
20:27Stir it as if it were tomorrow.
20:29Don't be stupid.
20:31What surprises me is that it has ever worked for you.
20:33Listen to me, you have to add the oil little by little.
20:35Where are you going?
20:37To throw it away.
20:39That's why I've added a little oil.
20:41No, no more oil. Water.
20:43Water?
20:45Yes, a splash of hot water.
20:47You add it and start to beat well until it boils.
20:49It's the first time I've heard of water.
20:51Listen to me.
20:55Good afternoon, Mrs. Petra.
20:57What can I do for you?
20:59I just came to inform you that tonight
21:01two more dinners will be held with two gentlemen.
21:03Ah, and that?
21:05Do we have guests at home?
21:07No guests. It's about Miss Catalina.
21:09Ah, that's great. She's already back.
21:11And Count Daniel too.
21:13What?
21:15And how did that man become La Promesa?
21:17He must have a lot of courage
21:19to set foot here again.
21:21Or few, it will be.
21:23Well, you'd better get used to it.
21:25Because he probably spent
21:27a good season here.
21:29Since he came.
21:31How did Mr. Marqués allow it?
21:33Well, enough nonsense.
21:35I've already told you what you needed to know.
21:37So now to work.
21:45Have you heard the same thing I've heard?
21:47I'm shorter than the mayonnaise.
21:49Now the one up there has to be
21:51riding a good one, huh?
21:53Yes, of a very good father.
21:55And why did that scoundrel come?
21:57Now that he's married,
21:59he hasn't taken off his clothes, huh?
22:01Because he doesn't know anything.
22:03There is a person who does know.
22:05And it's Catalina.
22:07Josefa, bring the water.
22:09Yes.
22:11Little by little?
22:13No, just a little.
22:15A little?
22:17Yes, it's the first time I do it.
22:21I'm very glad
22:23to have you back, sister.
22:25Thank you for doing me the favor
22:27of telling me where I had gone.
22:31You don't deserve it.
22:33And of course not.
22:35I'm sure I made a good fuss after I left.
22:37And above all, why I had left.
22:39The normal thing.
22:41My mother screamed in heaven
22:43and my father didn't like it.
22:45I'm so sorry.
22:47But if I had spoken to them,
22:49I know.
22:51And I also know
22:53the real reasons for your departure.
22:55Pelayo smuggled weapons.
22:59They told you.
23:03I'm very sorry
23:05for telling you at the time,
23:07Manuel, but I didn't want to worry you.
23:09Catalina, you don't have to justify yourself,
23:11I'm not judging you.
23:13If you hadn't told me at the time,
23:15you'd be right.
23:18Besides,
23:20this won't come out for free.
23:22When the time comes,
23:24I'm going to ask for your understanding back.
23:26Is this a joke or are you serious?
23:28I've never spoken more seriously.
23:30And what do you want?
23:32All due time.
23:35Why don't you keep talking about Pelayo?
23:37Have you managed to put your feelings in order?
23:40Well, the truth is not.
23:43But yes, we've got something
23:45that both of us are aware of.
23:47Thank goodness.
23:48Hey, don't make fun of me.
23:50Sorry.
23:52Those days we've been together
23:54have helped us realize
23:56that there's still something alive between us.
23:59And that we can't let the past stain it.
24:02So you're going to give him a new chance.
24:04Yes.
24:06I don't know where this will take us, but...
24:09But I'm listening to what you told me.
24:11I'm giving myself the luxury of doing something
24:13that doesn't make a lot of sense.
24:17What I don't understand is how you're going to do it
24:19being here and him in his palace.
24:21No, he's in La Promesa.
24:23In La Promesa?
24:26Wow, it's clear that I spend too much time
24:28in my study with my sketches.
24:30I don't even know what's going on in the real world.
24:32I thought your mother's screams
24:34had been heard all over the palace.
24:38And what did Father say?
24:41Well, at first it was hard for him,
24:43but he ended up agreeing.
24:48So you can say later that you're not his favorite.
24:51Are you jealous?
24:53You know, a little bit, yes.
24:57And even more now.
24:59Because I've known him for a long time
25:01and I haven't seen you so happy, sister.
25:05Although you wouldn't have made the imprudence
25:07of leaving him alone in there.
25:09He's resting in his room.
25:11And I trust they'll leave him alone there.
25:15But why don't the three of us have a snack together?
25:18A snack?
25:20Do you want to?
25:23Sister, I can't.
25:25I've stayed with my mother to go to the theater.
25:27And she's probably been waiting for me for a long time.
25:31See you at another time.
25:33Yes, yes.
25:40I'm going to the theater with the Marquise.
25:50Mrs. Arcos is about to arrive.
25:54Well, while she arrives,
25:56I wanted to talk to you about a private matter.
25:59Your son?
26:01No, no, no, no. It's not that.
26:03No, thank God, no.
26:05The reason is very different.
26:07This morning,
26:09the Duchess of Carril came to the palace.
26:11Without warning.
26:13And she wasn't looking for the Marquise,
26:15or the Marquis,
26:17or Mrs. Margarita.
26:19And look at you.
26:21She accessed
26:23through the service door.
26:25Well, start telling me that nonsense
26:27because what you're telling me
26:29doesn't make any sense.
26:31Well, I'm afraid that no matter how much I tell you,
26:33this will continue to be like this.
26:35She gave the words to the cooks.
26:37She needed the recipe
26:39for the cakes that were served
26:41at that snack.
26:43It was enough to have sent a note
26:45if she had answered with the recipe
26:47on the way back.
26:49Well, that's what I told her.
26:51Yes, but she excused herself saying
26:53that curiously she was close to the promise
26:55and decided to make the message in person
26:57so as not to bother.
26:59That's what she told you?
27:01Yes, word for word.
27:03No, because in the end she didn't talk
27:05to Simona or Lope.
27:07She talked to Vera.
27:09And why did she talk to Vera?
27:11Well, the Duchess saw her,
27:13recognized her for the snack
27:15and asked her to be the one to serve it.
27:17Yes, Mrs. González doesn't have
27:19the slightest notion of pastry.
27:21Well, apparently she knows the recipe
27:23for the happy cakes.
27:25At that moment, the only thing that occurred to me
27:27was to give them the office so that they were
27:29far from indiscreet looks.
27:31The presence of a duchess in the service area
27:33has been at least irregular.
27:35Did anyone else see her,
27:37apart from Mrs. González and you?
27:39As far as I know, no.
27:41Well, it's still like that.
27:43Such a strambotic matter should not reach
27:45the ears of the Marquis,
27:47much less the Marquise.
27:49Mrs. Alcos is taking a long time to arrive.
27:51Do you want me to go get her?
27:53No, look, we'd better take the opportunity
27:55to update you on the matter
27:57that we are going to talk about,
27:59about Pelleagudo.
28:01Isn't it about the substitute of virtues?
28:03That's right.
28:05My proposal is a young lady you already know
28:07because she was here not long ago.
28:09Yes, Miss Villamil.
28:11Yes, you already know the palace
28:13that Pelleagudo has.
28:15Well, that girl was the fiancée
28:17of the late son of Mrs. Alcos.
28:19And she is no longer a young lady
28:21because she is married again.
28:23And you already know this, Mrs. Petra.
28:31What do I have to know?
28:53What do I have to know?
29:07Thinking about the mosquitos?
29:09Yes.
29:11Look, a tree can fall on you.
29:13No.
29:15No, I was thinking about my things.
29:19I've been looking for you all day
29:21and I didn't even have time to have lunch.
29:23It's been a complicated day.
29:25I see.
29:27Are you worried about the position
29:29of first lacayo?
29:31Of the count of Matesán, right?
29:37And have you already thought of an answer?
29:41Are you going to leave or are you going to stay?
29:43I just don't want anything you don't want, Maria.
29:47Salvador, please stop calling me dead.
29:49It's okay, it's okay.
29:51I know it's my chance.
29:53And I also feel prepared to be first lacayo.
29:55And I know I'm not going to get it here.
29:57Look, I know it's your dream.
29:59No, Maria.
30:01That's not my dream.
30:03I don't want to be
30:05lacayo or mayordomo
30:07or anything.
30:11All I want is to save money
30:13to finally be free.
30:16My dream is to be with you.
30:20That's my dream.
30:22And tomorrow, well, to be able to have
30:24a house together.
30:28With a garden, with animals.
30:31To be able to have all the children we want.
30:35But without mandates.
30:37To be free.
30:39I just don't want more.
30:41And I would be fully happy that way.
30:46Well, then.
30:50Then go.
30:54But Maria, you're first.
31:00That's precisely why, Salvador.
31:03Because your dreams are my dreams.
31:07And if we're going to get it,
31:09we have to be apart for a while.
31:12Or almost.
31:16Really?
31:34I promise that as soon as it's enough,
31:36we'll both leave together.
31:41I'm going to miss you so much.
31:45I live for you, Maria.
31:48Every second of my life.
31:51Why are you exaggerating?
31:54I'm not exaggerating.
31:56I love you with all my soul, Maria.
32:00I live for you.
32:02You're so beautiful.
32:16I love you.
32:24Mrs. Villamil's request
32:26arrives at the best time possible.
32:28After Mrs. Carranza's departure,
32:30we've run out of female staff.
32:32But I didn't want to take the step
32:34before consulting with you.
32:36Undoubtedly, it's our best option.
32:38And why is that?
32:41Because she knows the palace.
32:43She was working here in the past,
32:45as a maid.
32:46You said it.
32:47As a maid.
32:49And Virtudes was just a maid.
32:51Do you intend to degrade her?
32:53No. If you're right, you're right.
32:55Mrs. Carranza was just a maid.
32:57But the reason was that she didn't know
32:59the functions of a maid.
33:01But Mrs. Adarre always had the intention,
33:03from the very beginning,
33:05to promote her as soon as she was ready.
33:07So we are willing
33:09to hire her as a maid,
33:11if that's what worries you.
33:17I agree.
33:21Are you willing to accept
33:23that we hire her?
33:25Are you so surprised, Mr. Baeza?
33:27I thought you would deny me
33:29because I've seen you arrive with your husband.
33:31I have to confess that
33:33it has hurt me a lot
33:35to see that
33:37he forgot about my son so soon.
33:39But here we are judging
33:41whether or not she is suitable
33:43to take over Mr. Tello's position.
33:45And indeed, she is the best for it.
33:49So let her join as soon as possible.
33:51There's a lot of work to do.
34:01Well, in the end, it wasn't that complicated.
34:03To see is to believe.
34:05Now, I hope this doesn't drag on,
34:07but I'm afraid it will.
34:19Don't turn around, Margarita.
34:21We'll go to a jewelry store I know in Seville
34:23and you'll be able to choose
34:25the earrings you prefer.
34:27Look, Ignacio, I thank you
34:29for the effort you make to cheer me up,
34:31but no matter how much I appreciate your gift,
34:33it won't be able to replace that earring.
34:35They're so important to you.
34:39Well, they're my late husband's gift.
34:43I understand.
34:45Well, then,
34:47I propose something else.
34:49This jewelry store I know
34:51is a true artist.
34:53We'll give him the earring
34:55and ask him to make another jewel.
34:57I don't know, a ring, a necklace,
34:59whatever you prefer.
35:01So you can always carry the earring with you.
35:03Well, I think it's very good.
35:05Thank you very much, Ignacio.
35:07I don't know what I would do without you.
35:09Well, fortunately,
35:11there is no need to discover it.
35:15Sorry.
35:17I interrupted you.
35:19No, not at all.
35:21I was leaving. I have to discuss some matters
35:23with Lorenzo before dinner.
35:33I'm sorry.
35:35Really, I know ...
35:37I know you're angry with me because
35:39Grandma's earrings were very important to you
35:41and I really understand, but ...
35:43I'm so sorry.
35:45Martina, don't worry.
35:47I know it was ...
35:49It was a mistake.
35:51Don't get it wrong because I'm not angry.
35:53What I am is ...
35:55It's sad.
35:57I still remember
35:59the first night
36:01that I put them on.
36:03The night your father gave them to me.
36:05We were having a party
36:07at your grandfather's ranch and I remember it was
36:09a warm night
36:11and everything was imbued with the sweet smell
36:13of orange.
36:15And your aunts made burberries.
36:17Mrs. Andaluz,
36:19they called her.
36:21But well, that didn't last long.
36:23It didn't last long because everyone's heart was won right away.
36:25Especially mine.
36:27She ...
36:29She was so handsome.
36:31So beautiful. With that jacket.
36:33So martial. With that beard.
36:35That I felt ...
36:37I felt like the happiest woman
36:39in all of Spain.
36:41And besides, those earrings
36:43matched my dress perfectly.
36:45Until I found out
36:47that they were her mother's.
36:51But what I remember the most is ...
36:53that when she was
36:55dancing with him,
36:57hugging your father,
37:03she felt she was capable of everything.
37:05Martina.
37:07As long as she was by my side.
37:11And well, I guess that memory
37:13I've always tied it to those earrings.
37:17Don't cry, daughter.
37:19Don't cry because Ignacio is right.
37:23Look at me.
37:25That memory is not in those earrings.
37:27Martina.
37:29Because that memory is here.
37:35And now it's also here.
37:41That's it.
37:43That's it.
37:51Treat them more carefully.
37:53Don't you see that if you wrinkle them ...
38:07Do you want me to help you, ma'am?
38:09No.
38:11I'm not hungry,
38:13and I'm not going down to dinner,
38:15so you can pick up all those dresses.
38:17How's the play going?
38:19A little bit.
38:21They intend to make it look intellectual,
38:23something that is nothing more
38:25than a recharged pomposity.
38:27I'm sorry it wasn't to your liking.
38:29In the end, it's better this way.
38:31Because Manuel was also looking horrible.
38:33So we left in the middle of the act,
38:35and we took the opportunity
38:37to take a walk in the cool of the afternoon.
38:39I'm glad I was able to enjoy it
38:41with your son.
38:45Teresa Villamil has returned.
38:47That's right.
38:49Tomorrow she will be reinstated
38:51in her position as maid.
38:53Yes, Mr. Pellicer has already told me.
38:55They don't all come back like that.
38:57What I don't understand is why you didn't tell me.
39:01The mayors arranged it that way, ma'am.
39:03And since when has it been
39:05an impediment for you to advance?
39:07You didn't tell me until it was necessary.
39:11You're uncomfortable with her return, aren't you?
39:15I thought you had a good relationship with her.
39:19It was your son's promise, wasn't it?
39:21That's right.
39:23Well then,
39:25leave the mystery and tell me what's going on.
39:31Leave.
39:37Leave.
39:43She's back with ...
39:45with her husband.
39:47What?
39:53Well, she's in a hurry, isn't she?
39:55What do they call him?
39:59And why didn't you tell me at first?
40:01You know as well as I do
40:03that we don't talk as much as we used to, ma'am.
40:05I just considered that
40:07I didn't deserve your interest.
40:09It is true that our communication
40:11is less fluid than before.
40:13As it is also
40:15that your performance in the tasks
40:17leaves much to be desired.
40:19I put all my dedication
40:21and my efforts, ma'am.
40:23Don't justify yourself, Petra.
40:25I need you to find me
40:27a personal maid now.
40:29I only see useless people in my bedroom.
40:31It's not an easy task, ma'am.
40:33But if you would allow me
40:35to combine my functions as a key master ...
40:37No, I need someone who doesn't have
40:39as many other important functions as you.
40:41All right, ma'am.
40:43As you say, you have your tasks
40:45as a key master.
40:47You know,
40:49I want Teresa
40:51as a personal maid.
40:53Let's see what I've learned
40:55with that Duchess.
40:57And wouldn't you prefer to try with another?
40:59Vera, for example.
41:01I said Teresa.
41:05As you wish, ma'am.
41:07Tonight I will have dinner here
41:09in my bedroom.
41:13As you wish, ma'am.
41:31Let's go.
41:47Is there no one available
41:49to lend a hand, Mr. Romea?
41:51No, I offered myself to Mr. Pellicer
41:53to do it alone.
41:55Don't worry, I'll be ready in a moment.
41:57For dinner?
41:59No, but it's not necessary, sir.
42:01No, this way we'll be more at ease,
42:03you and me. Besides, I'm not going to
42:05drop the rings.
42:07The more responsibilities
42:09of service you acquire, the more humble
42:11you must be.
42:13The important thing is to get the job done,
42:15not who does it.
42:17That's good advice.
42:19I'm sure you'll apply in the future.
42:23Have I said anything wrong?
42:25That's convenient.
42:27Don't you want to be the first one
42:29to apply?
42:31That's precisely what I wanted to talk to you about, sir.
42:33Yes, but it's not for now.
42:35Right now, in La Promesa,
42:37we don't need to cover that position.
42:39It's not in La Promesa.
42:43Have you received a job offer from any other house?
42:47In the Palace of the Counts of Mathesa, sir.
42:51And do you have any doubts
42:53about accepting it or not?
42:55Actually,
42:57the decision has already been made
42:59and I'm going to accept that job.
43:01But I hope it has nothing to do with the old rings.
43:03For my part, it's all in the past.
43:05And for mine too, sir.
43:07It's all forgotten.
43:09Well, in that case,
43:11I have no choice but
43:13to congratulate you.
43:15You haven't chosen a bad fate.
43:19I'm convinced that you're going to leave
43:21a very high position in that house.
43:23I trust that, sir.
43:25And if I do it well, it will be all thanks to you,
43:27who is the best teacher one can have.
43:31Don't give me the cold shoulder,
43:33because it won't help you at all
43:35if you don't work in this house.
43:37Thank you very much, Mr. Loera.
43:51A few days later
43:59As far as I know,
44:01there is no intention of opening a trade route
44:03until the situation in the Atlantic calms down.
44:05Well, I hope it's soon.
44:07With half of Europe at war
44:09and America blocked,
44:11I'm going to lose my harvests, and with them, my savings.
44:13You should have chosen a more lucrative business,
44:15like the arms business.
44:17Yeah, I've read about it.
44:191,500 million dollars for the Yankee arcs.
44:21And that, including
44:23legal sales to the gang.
44:25Good evening.
44:27Good evening.
44:28Cruz and Alonso haven't arrived yet?
44:30Cruz won't have dinner with us tonight.
44:32He's tired after the theatrical performance
44:34and he asked me to excuse him.
44:36The play was so bad.
44:38Terrible.
44:40We can't wait to see the whole play
44:42during the interaction.
44:44We leave with our feet on the ground.
44:46When you go to a town theater,
44:48you have to go with low expectations.
44:50I don't agree.
44:52I've seen works in Lujan and Tenerantes
44:54that were pretty good.
44:56Can I know why there are two extra seats?
45:02Good evening.
45:04Good evening.
45:06Good evening.
45:08Sorry for the inconvenience.
45:10We went for a walk and Ulisio
45:12was late.
45:14I think I owe you all an apology.
45:18It's not necessary, Pelayo.
45:20Even so, if you allow me, Marquis.
45:28I know that my departure from this palace
45:30was hasty and I am aware
45:32that it was not in the best circumstances.
45:34To put it mildly.
45:36Although I want to add that I am not guilty
45:38of the accusations that were made later about me.
45:42And maybe I don't deserve it, but
45:44I still want to take the risk
45:46and ask you to give me another chance,
45:48just like Catalina did.
45:52It is an immense pleasure for me
45:54to welcome you back to the palace,
45:56Mr. Count.
45:58Thank you, Manuel.
46:00Welcome, Pelayo.
46:04I was very happy when your sister told me
46:06that you had returned from the front safe and sound.
46:10I was happier, I assure you.
46:12It had to be a pride to fight
46:14for the good and democracy.
46:16Don't say it with such admiration, Mr. Count.
46:18You have also played
46:20a relevant role in that war.
46:24And what is it?
46:26If I may know.
46:28Margarita, let's not spoil the dinner
46:30by talking about the war.
46:32I think I understand much better
46:34the indisposition of the Marquise.
46:36Ignacio!
46:38What?
46:40The last thing I can do is make a joke.
46:42I didn't know your place.
46:44Leave him alone, Ayala.
46:46I won't let you bother my guest.
46:48If I've bothered you,
46:50why didn't you tell me yourself,
46:52Mr. Pelayo?
46:54I've heard my sister, Mr. Count.
46:56Let him be.
46:58He's our guest.
47:00Of all of us.
47:02Of the family.
47:04That's enough. What do you want?
47:06For this to become a school fight?
47:10I'm sorry
47:12for this totally unjustifiable lack of decorum.
47:16The Count is a guest of my daughter Catalina.
47:18He will stay in the palace
47:20as long as the two of you agree.
47:22And I don't want any more
47:24insidious comments.
47:40A YEAR LATER
48:06Were you looking for Mr. Manuel, Miss Expósito?
48:08No, no.
48:10I just came to clean.
48:12At this time of night?
48:14Well, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that
48:16Mr. Manuel had gone to the theater with his mother
48:18so as not to bother.
48:20You should go down immediately to the service area.
48:22Mrs. Arcos is looking for you.
48:24Right away.
48:26One second.
48:28Our key lady can wait a moment.
48:30Do you need anything from me?
48:34We have a conversation pending.
48:38You and I have to speak clearly.
49:00Good evening.
49:02Good evening.
49:06You did well to retire so soon.
49:10Ayala and Lorenzo's veins have not taken
49:12a minute to jump to Pelayo's neck.
49:14He deserves it.
49:18And how about this afternoon with Manuel?
49:20He has already told us
49:22that the theater was a tragedy,
49:24although he did not intend to be.
49:26If he has already told you, why are you asking me?
49:28Cruz, I know you're angry with me,
49:30but at least tell me the reason.
49:34Whatever it is, I'm sorry.
49:36All I want is for the two of us to be fine.
49:38You don't need to have courage
49:40to come to me now with that.
49:42My apologies are sincere.
49:44Tell me I have failed you and I will do everything I can
49:46to fix it.
49:48There are things that once broken
49:50can no longer be reassembled.
49:52Well, then I will fulfill my duty.
49:54But at least tell me what my fault is.
49:56What for? If you know it perfectly.
49:58If I knew it, I wouldn't insist, Cruz.
50:00Don't make me tell you out loud.
50:02That's what I'm asking you.
50:04I'm not going to go through that humiliation.
50:06I won't leave until you tell me.
50:08I know what happened to Maria Antonia.
50:10You were unfaithful to me with my best friend
50:12and in my own house.
50:14Is that what you wanted to hear?
50:24Since you stepped foot in the palace,
50:26the life of the Lujan has only become more complicated.
50:28And what else does the life of the Lujan give you?
50:30It's nothing more than a guest.
50:32For a very long time, by the way.
50:34I'm not saying anything.
50:36But you have to have little dignity
50:38to show up here after what happened.
50:40Well, that's enough.
50:42He's going to accept the job of First Lacayo.
50:44So he's leaving.
50:46Yes, but our wedding is maintained.
50:48And our time will come.
50:50Because it will come, right?
50:52I'm going to try, really.
50:54It's not enough to try.
50:56I also need to work.
50:58Too much work. You should have insisted more.
51:00Talk to whoever you have to talk to and convince them.
51:02Let's not go back to that.
51:04I thought it was over.
51:06Yes, and for my part it is not.
51:08But here there are those who seem not to want to forget it.
51:10You have come back with the cause of everything.
51:12He understands that we need time.
51:14I met Marcelo as soon as I arrived at the palace of the Duchess
51:16and two weeks later we were already dating.
51:18You had to like it, huh?
51:20To date in such a short time.
51:24Some people forget soon, right?
51:28And then it's Petra who messes with Teresa.
51:30Come on, leave me alone.
51:32I don't mess with anyone, huh?
51:34I only comment on what I see.
51:38The earring I lost at the snack, mother.
51:40I knew it was yours.
51:42But where did you find it?
51:44At the exit of the Duchess's house.
51:46Inside I had looked at her earrings
51:48because they seemed beautiful to me.
51:50Vera, listen to me.
51:52I feel very bad not being able to help you with all this.
51:54Really.
51:56I know you help me.
51:58The simple fact of talking to you already calms me down.
52:02You can only do it the times you need it.
52:04Well, I hope there are not many.
52:06That if my mother continues to appear around here,
52:08in the end they will discover who I really am.
52:12I'm Curro.
52:14Nice to meet you.
52:16Are you Francisco?
52:18Yes, Francisco de la Mata.
52:20To serve you.
52:22Okay.
52:24Julia!
52:26Let's sit down.
