NEW RESTORATION
Carlos, a former factory worker of humble origins, has made millions — but the upper class refuses to accept him as one of their own. Meanwhile, Barbara, the spoiled daughter of an industrialist, is to enter into a loveless marriage of convenience. Tensions arise when the two fall madly in love.

STRONGER THAN LOVE
00:01:40.458 --> 00:01:43.750
Discéforo, drop that sack.
And you, too.
00:01:44.166 --> 00:01:45.833
Do you hear?
00:01:45.958 --> 00:01:48.916
Don Carlos, they told us
to work more, no matter what.
00:01:49.041 --> 00:01:51.333
-Who gave that order?
-The manager.
00:01:51.416 --> 00:01:52.625
-I did.
-And I.
00:01:52.875 --> 00:01:54.708
Get off your horses and
try carrying those bags.
00:01:54.708 --> 00:01:56.375
I'm the owner here!
00:01:56.583 --> 00:01:57.708
Half owner.
00:01:57.916 --> 00:02:00.250
You have to know
how to give orders.
00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:03.708
I told you old men and children
don't do that kind of work.
00:03:12.083 --> 00:03:13.500
Hello.
00:03:15.791 --> 00:03:17.250
Double rum.
00:03:19.333 --> 00:03:21.208
Still in a bad mood,
apparently.
00:03:21.333 --> 00:03:24.333
Yes. Intruders annoy me.
00:03:24.541 --> 00:03:27.375
Don Rodolfo has as much right
as you to give orders.
00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:29.041
His orders are stupid.
00:03:29.166 --> 00:03:31.250
Well, he made you
general manager.
00:03:32.250 --> 00:03:33.791
Oh, so I'm the intruder?
00:03:33.916 --> 00:03:36.750
Yes. You don't know
the business or the people.
00:03:38.833 --> 00:03:40.416
Look, Carlos.
00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:42.833
-I'm not here to fight.
-No, no, no.
00:03:43.041 --> 00:03:46.041
I can see you're here
as a player.
00:03:46.375 --> 00:03:48.791
And bringing little tokens
from Europe,
00:03:49.541 --> 00:03:51.958
just like a Spanish conqueror.
00:03:53.875 --> 00:03:56.541
I wasn't aware
she was your property.
00:03:57.833 --> 00:04:00.083
Women and land
are not for sale.
00:04:00.291 --> 00:04:01.625
You have to earn them.
00:04:01.833 --> 00:04:03.500
That wasn't my intention.
00:04:03.625 --> 00:04:05.625
I'm here on behalf
of Don Rodolfo.
00:04:05.958 --> 00:04:08.250
-He wants to see you.
-Why didn't he come himself?
00:04:08.833 --> 00:04:10.458
He had another heart attack.
00:04:10.708 --> 00:04:13.458
You're so unlucky
with your godfather.
00:04:13.708 --> 00:04:15.916
His heart attacks
never kill him.
00:04:22.416 --> 00:04:24.500
-I'll announce you.
-No, you won't.
00:04:24.708 --> 00:04:27.125
I'm not a guest.
I was summoned.
00:04:27.375 --> 00:04:29.666
-Always so rude.
-Oh, Valentina.
00:04:29.791 --> 00:04:32.541
Either I was born too soon
or you, too late.
00:04:32.750 --> 00:04:35.541
We would've been quite
a match. You're such a--
00:04:35.750 --> 00:04:39.083
Let go! You'll never get
anywhere with those manners.
00:04:40.375 --> 00:04:42.458
Mr. Armando,
Don Carlos is here.
00:04:42.666 --> 00:04:44.208
Yes, I can see him.
00:04:44.416 --> 00:04:46.083
Come in, Carlos.
00:04:47.166 --> 00:04:49.250
Sorry for making you wait.
00:04:50.458 --> 00:04:52.125
He's with some people.
00:04:52.333 --> 00:04:55.625
I saw Ordoñez's car outside.
00:04:55.833 --> 00:05:01.166
These kinds of doctors know
very little about hearts.
00:05:02.791 --> 00:05:05.125
You don't miss a thing, huh?
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.208
What?
Brings back memories?
00:05:09.333 --> 00:05:14.375
It's her face, but she lacks
that crazy look she always had.
00:05:15.625 --> 00:05:18.041
Anyway, may she rest in peace.
00:05:18.375 --> 00:05:20.875
Is her daughter
still in Europe?
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.750
No, Barbara is on her way back.
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.833
She'll be my wife soon.
00:05:26.083 --> 00:05:29.166
If she takes after her mother,
I won't congratulate you.
00:05:29.375 --> 00:05:32.708
And make sure you buy her
a round trip.
00:05:33.375 --> 00:05:35.583
Leave that to me.
00:05:35.791 --> 00:05:38.458
What I mean to say is that
one day,
00:05:39.125 --> 00:05:41.583
you and I will be partners.
00:05:47.083 --> 00:05:50.291
I called you so we can put
an end to our partnership.
00:05:50.416 --> 00:05:51.750
Man, that's great.
00:05:51.875 --> 00:05:53.708
What do you propose?
00:05:53.958 --> 00:05:55.916
I keep the factory
and you keep the fields.
00:05:56.166 --> 00:05:57.791
And I'll pay you
an additional 200,000 pesos.
00:05:57.791 --> 00:06:01.000
I thought you didn't
have any money.
00:06:01.291 --> 00:06:04.625
I'll mortgage the factory,
or sell shares if I have to.
00:06:04.875 --> 00:06:09.125
What does my future partner
have to say about this?
00:06:09.833 --> 00:06:12.041
Whatever Don Rodolfo says
is fine with me.
00:06:12.250 --> 00:06:13.375
Agreed.
00:06:13.583 --> 00:06:15.125
As long as you pay
within sixty days.
00:06:15.333 --> 00:06:17.541
I don't want to end up
in a tug-of-war.
00:06:17.666 --> 00:06:19.000
Agreed.
00:06:19.125 --> 00:06:20.208
Very well.
00:06:20.291 --> 00:06:22.083
As soon as you have
the money,
00:06:22.291 --> 00:06:24.625
-you know where to find me.
-Very well.
00:06:28.166 --> 00:06:29.333
If you'll excuse me,
00:06:29.583 --> 00:06:32.083
I'll draw up the documents
before I leave.
00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:37.625
I don't think you were
very diplomatic.
00:06:37.833 --> 00:06:39.083
You don't, huh?
00:06:39.291 --> 00:06:41.500
The factory's ours.
Who will sell his fruit?
00:06:41.750 --> 00:06:44.041
He'll be forced to sell us
his land piecemeal.
00:06:45.375 --> 00:06:47.583
Two things I want to see
before I die.
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.666
Carlos ruined,
00:06:49.875 --> 00:06:51.875
and you married to Barbara.
00:07:02.458 --> 00:07:05.166
DO NOT PASS
00:07:07.333 --> 00:07:09.333
The highway
is blocked, ma'am.
00:07:09.416 --> 00:07:11.833
You have to turn back
and take the detour.
00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.708
-Hey, stop!
-Stop, lady!
00:07:39.791 --> 00:07:43.291
Watch out, lady!
00:08:04.583 --> 00:08:05.833
Are you hurt?
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.708
No, no.
00:08:12.416 --> 00:08:15.750
Take anything you want.
Just don't hurt me.
00:08:16.083 --> 00:08:19.458
Poor thing.
As crazy as her mother.
00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:23.708
Do we look like highwaymen?
00:08:32.750 --> 00:08:34.041
Get out of the car.
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:36.833
Miss Barbara, we were trying
to tell you there's a swamp
00:08:37.041 --> 00:08:39.000
where you and your car
would end up stuck.
00:08:39.125 --> 00:08:40.916
How do you know who I am?
00:08:41.250 --> 00:08:44.125
Wild guess.
Certain family features.
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.416
And you are...?
00:08:47.666 --> 00:08:50.208
You wouldn't know me anyway.
I'm Carlos.
00:08:50.625 --> 00:08:51.708
No.
00:08:51.916 --> 00:08:54.250
If I tell you I'm
Don Lucio's son, though...
00:08:55.458 --> 00:08:57.208
Right.
00:08:57.541 --> 00:09:00.000
I assume you work
for my father.
00:09:01.833 --> 00:09:04.458
Send your men to the house
so they'll come get me.
00:09:04.666 --> 00:09:06.125
Impossible. They're done
for the day,
00:09:06.333 --> 00:09:08.541
and your father
doesn't pay overtime.
00:09:08.750 --> 00:09:10.125
You go then.
00:09:10.208 --> 00:09:12.416
It depends on your tone
when you ask me.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.291
I'd rather wait for
a car to come this way.
00:09:17.291 --> 00:09:19.500
Antonio, take her luggage
to the house.
00:09:19.750 --> 00:09:21.250
Yes, Don Carlos.
00:09:23.375 --> 00:09:24.916
What are you doing?
00:09:26.291 --> 00:09:27.583
Salvage what can be salvaged.
00:09:27.708 --> 00:09:30.541
You took a wrong turn.
No cars come this way.
00:09:31.916 --> 00:09:34.750
What? Will that soften
your tone?
00:09:35.041 --> 00:09:37.833
I just use one tone
with the help.
00:09:38.041 --> 00:09:43.291
Fine. If you get hungry, watch
the monkeys climb for bananas,
00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:45.958
and try imitating them.
And if you get thirsty,
00:09:46.041 --> 00:09:48.791
follow the animals. They'll
lead you to the river at dusk.
00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:39.291
You're lucky.
It could've been a scorpion.
00:10:47.625 --> 00:10:49.041
Get on.
00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:52.333
Can you do it on your own?
00:10:57.166 --> 00:10:58.708
Are you sure
you didn't dream it?
00:10:58.833 --> 00:11:00.166
No, sir.
00:11:00.291 --> 00:11:03.166
She called this morning
as soon as you left.
00:11:03.375 --> 00:11:04.916
-Yeah?
-And she said,
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.875
"Nanny, it's me,
and I'm halfway there."
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.208
What else?
00:11:09.291 --> 00:11:11.750
She went to Armando's place
to borrow the car,
00:11:11.958 --> 00:11:13.625
and was on her way to you.
00:11:13.833 --> 00:11:15.375
She should've arrived already.
00:11:22.583 --> 00:11:25.208
Tell your fiancé I already
charged you for the trip.
00:11:25.416 --> 00:11:27.416
I'm not the kind of man
who forgets.
00:11:43.791 --> 00:11:45.208
Father.
00:11:45.416 --> 00:11:48.416
I insist you fire
your foreman right away.
00:11:50.125 --> 00:11:52.666
Valentina,
go see who's at the door.
00:11:53.333 --> 00:11:56.666
-I didn't hear anything, sir.
-But I did. Go see who it is.
00:11:57.875 --> 00:12:01.291
You could use a different excuse
to get rid of me.
00:12:03.708 --> 00:12:05.708
She gets cheekier by the day.
00:12:09.041 --> 00:12:12.916
Barbara, you're wrong
about Carlos being foreman.
00:12:14.208 --> 00:12:16.625
He's a partner of sorts.
00:12:17.291 --> 00:12:19.958
You know his father
was my right hand.
00:12:20.833 --> 00:12:24.375
Lucio was foreman and was
promoted to general manager.
00:12:25.541 --> 00:12:27.458
He paid several loans,
00:12:28.125 --> 00:12:30.875
and upon his death,
they passed to his son.
00:12:33.041 --> 00:12:36.041
So I wasn't wrong when
I called him a highwayman.
00:12:36.916 --> 00:12:38.791
Right now he's wealthier
than we are.
00:12:43.166 --> 00:12:44.708
Thief!
00:12:48.833 --> 00:12:50.166
What's that?
00:12:50.291 --> 00:12:52.375
It's a... a bar.
00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:54.041
That close?
00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:56.375
We won't get any sleep.
00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.833
You get used to it, honey.
00:13:01.250 --> 00:13:04.000
Does it belong
to that individual?
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.458
Not exactly.
He participates, though.
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.125
The owner is the woman
who's singing.
00:14:11.208 --> 00:14:14.625
Look. Isn't it nice
to see the fruit we grow
00:14:14.958 --> 00:14:16.916
going out into the world?
00:14:17.708 --> 00:14:19.791
What used to be our fruit,
you mean.
00:14:20.750 --> 00:14:22.416
Hello.
00:14:23.791 --> 00:14:25.666
Future partner.
00:14:25.875 --> 00:14:27.750
-How's the shipment going?
-Fine.
00:14:27.875 --> 00:14:31.500
Just checking they don't take
100 crates out of every 1000.
00:14:32.583 --> 00:14:34.250
The nerve.
00:14:34.541 --> 00:14:36.416
Look who's talking
about thieves.
00:14:36.625 --> 00:14:40.125
If you go back through town,
go see Dr. Ruiz.
00:14:40.250 --> 00:14:41.791
He's a great shrink.
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.541
What for?
00:14:43.875 --> 00:14:45.416
Just giving out
some good advice.
00:14:45.625 --> 00:14:49.375
He's cured many people who
like talking to themselves.
00:14:52.208 --> 00:14:54.500
Maybe you didn't notice
that he called me crazy.
00:14:54.708 --> 00:14:57.458
Barbara,
I admit he's a brute.
00:14:57.916 --> 00:15:00.625
But you are a well
educated woman.
00:15:00.875 --> 00:15:02.375
Try to understand.
00:15:02.708 --> 00:15:05.041
Don't bring out
the beast in him.
00:15:05.416 --> 00:15:07.041
You're right.
00:15:07.166 --> 00:15:08.625
Let's go to the club.
00:15:08.750 --> 00:15:10.916
A dip in the ocean
will be good for us.
00:15:11.916 --> 00:15:13.583
See if that wakes me up.
00:15:13.708 --> 00:15:15.791
I'm not getting any sleep
because of...
00:15:17.250 --> 00:15:19.625
-...that damned bar.
-Let's go.
00:15:42.625 --> 00:15:46.041
Look. There's Barbara.
We hadn't seen her.
00:15:46.250 --> 00:15:47.583
Hello!
00:15:48.333 --> 00:15:49.875
Barbara!
00:15:49.958 --> 00:15:51.541
How are you?
00:15:53.416 --> 00:15:55.583
Super busy organizing
the charity ball.
00:15:55.833 --> 00:15:57.833
-You'll be there, won't you?
-Of course.
00:15:58.125 --> 00:15:59.875
-See you later.
-See you.
00:16:02.083 --> 00:16:05.041
-Hello, guys, how are you?
-Hi, Barbara.
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.750
No wonder we never saw you
at the club.
00:16:09.541 --> 00:16:13.291
It's your fault we lost
our best poker player.
00:16:15.250 --> 00:16:18.041
What do you say
we meet up tonight?
00:16:18.583 --> 00:16:21.000
-I propose we go slumming.
-Oh, yes!
00:16:21.208 --> 00:16:23.541
Take us to that bar
everyone's talking about.
00:16:23.625 --> 00:16:25.083
It will be fun.
00:16:25.291 --> 00:16:27.833
Yes, but first
we'll go by the factory.
00:16:28.041 --> 00:16:29.458
I must sign some contracts.
00:16:30.250 --> 00:16:33.083
That's the last straw.
In this day and age,
00:16:33.333 --> 00:16:36.208
there are still people
who work for a living.
00:16:39.333 --> 00:16:41.541
-Is this the head of personnel?
-Yes, sir.
00:16:41.666 --> 00:16:43.875
Don Rodolfo's daughter
is downstairs with friends.
00:16:43.958 --> 00:16:45.708
Please show them around
the factory.
00:16:45.958 --> 00:16:47.375
Will do, sir.
00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:53.666
I assure you I'll have this
situation in hand in 48 hours.
00:16:53.875 --> 00:16:55.833
As club president,
00:16:56.083 --> 00:16:58.291
I'm responsible for
the behavior of its members.
00:16:58.500 --> 00:16:59.916
Don't worry, Don Francisco.
00:17:00.041 --> 00:17:02.916
I'll answer to those commitments
like the gentleman I am.
00:17:03.041 --> 00:17:04.583
Thank you.
00:17:14.166 --> 00:17:15.291
What happened here?
00:17:15.375 --> 00:17:18.583
A mechanical failure.
They've already identified it.
00:17:22.541 --> 00:17:24.083
Turn it on.
00:17:26.458 --> 00:17:29.541
Carlitos, what
are you wearing?
00:17:29.750 --> 00:17:31.958
Hi! Forgive me if
I don't shake your hand.
00:17:32.208 --> 00:17:34.291
I didn't know you were
a mechanic as well.
00:17:35.250 --> 00:17:37.250
Don Carlos worked here
as a boy.
00:17:37.333 --> 00:17:39.208
His father made him work
at the factory for a year,
00:17:39.208 --> 00:17:40.416
and another year
in the field.
00:17:40.625 --> 00:17:42.500
Don Lucio knew what
he was doing.
00:17:43.250 --> 00:17:45.666
So glad we ran into you.
We're having a party
00:17:45.875 --> 00:17:48.583
in honor of Barbara.
Do you want to come?
00:17:48.875 --> 00:17:51.416
Only if the honored girl
asks me.
00:17:51.750 --> 00:17:53.416
Hear that, Barbara?
00:17:54.625 --> 00:17:56.250
She didn't hear.
Hold on.
00:17:59.041 --> 00:18:01.750
-Barbara, Carlos says--
-Yes, I heard.
00:18:02.291 --> 00:18:04.416
How can you invite
that animal?
00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:07.833
That animal holds one of
the last fortunes there are,
00:18:08.166 --> 00:18:11.250
and Alicia's very interested
in it.
00:18:11.916 --> 00:18:13.583
Do what you want.
00:21:07.416 --> 00:21:10.166
That's the legend
of the bewitched girl.
00:21:10.958 --> 00:21:12.208
She fights,
00:21:12.416 --> 00:21:14.958
but is conquered and possessed
by the evil spirit.
00:21:16.416 --> 00:21:18.083
She ends up throwing herself
in the river,
00:21:18.166 --> 00:21:21.583
believing the water
will wash the evil away.
00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:19.875
Are you shocked?
00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:22.416
Yes.
00:24:22.750 --> 00:24:24.166
And frightened.
00:24:24.250 --> 00:24:27.583
Sitting next to Carlos
I feel so well.
00:24:28.250 --> 00:24:30.250
So safe.
00:24:34.958 --> 00:24:38.458
Just what I needed!
To see you with somebody else.
00:24:38.583 --> 00:24:39.791
Don't be silly.
00:24:39.916 --> 00:24:42.458
Silly? Am I? Do you like it
when I'm with other men?
00:24:42.541 --> 00:24:43.750
Be quiet!
00:27:07.583 --> 00:27:09.125
Hey!
00:27:09.208 --> 00:27:11.750
Put that back, or I'll come out
in my birthday suit.
00:27:12.666 --> 00:27:13.916
Coming out!
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.458
Get back in.
00:27:23.250 --> 00:27:25.875
I like playing hide-and-seek,
but without cheating.
00:27:26.125 --> 00:27:27.625
Get in with me.
00:27:28.750 --> 00:27:31.291
You can walk backwards
if you prefer.
00:27:32.041 --> 00:27:33.375
Come on.
00:27:33.625 --> 00:27:35.250
Back.
00:27:36.250 --> 00:27:38.333
More, more.
To your right.
00:27:38.458 --> 00:27:40.000
Your right.
00:27:40.416 --> 00:27:41.625
Back some more.
00:27:41.750 --> 00:27:43.333
Left, now.
00:27:44.333 --> 00:27:46.083
There are my clothes.
00:27:46.875 --> 00:27:48.625
Would you be so kind?
00:27:59.458 --> 00:28:01.000
Thank you.
00:28:08.625 --> 00:28:11.500
-I assume I can go now.
-You assume wrong.
00:28:11.791 --> 00:28:14.250
I'm not getting dressed
until you apologize.
00:28:14.458 --> 00:28:19.000
And don't try to flee.
Adam was more covered than I am.
00:28:20.625 --> 00:28:22.916
A sleepwalker can't be
held responsible.
00:28:23.708 --> 00:28:27.583
It's not my fault that woman
from your bar won't let me sleep.
00:28:27.916 --> 00:28:30.125
So sleeping is
the entire problem?
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:32.750
I've got the solution.
00:28:33.083 --> 00:28:34.625
Get on the horse.
00:28:37.583 --> 00:28:39.666
You'll forgive me if
I'm not very presentable,
00:28:39.791 --> 00:28:41.750
but I must help you.
00:28:56.958 --> 00:28:58.708
-Can I get down?
-No.
00:28:58.916 --> 00:29:01.041
This is just the beginning
of your treatment.
00:29:01.250 --> 00:29:03.666
If you don't want to fall,
hang on to something.
00:29:45.708 --> 00:29:48.041
I can't do this anymore!
00:29:48.750 --> 00:29:50.375
I'll fall!
00:30:23.958 --> 00:30:25.708
Now you can walk home.
00:30:25.833 --> 00:30:28.166
I can assure you
you'll be able to sleep.
00:30:38.625 --> 00:30:40.500
Great joke!
00:30:40.625 --> 00:30:43.708
You're an expert
at cheering people up.
00:30:43.791 --> 00:30:47.041
There's more than enough
reasons to be happy.
00:30:47.833 --> 00:30:51.291
First, the disbandment of
the society we're closing today.
00:30:51.583 --> 00:30:53.916
Can't wait to see
that fool's face.
00:30:54.125 --> 00:30:56.458
Once we're over that,
it's open road to the altar.
00:30:56.666 --> 00:30:58.875
Yes, darling,
the sooner, the better.
00:31:00.541 --> 00:31:03.083
You've been very cheerful
lately. Different.
00:31:04.250 --> 00:31:05.666
I'm finally sleeping.
00:31:05.791 --> 00:31:08.125
Those long horse rides
suit you.
00:31:08.666 --> 00:31:11.458
How did you manage
to stop being afraid?
00:31:11.875 --> 00:31:13.500
I found myself on a horse,
00:31:13.750 --> 00:31:16.041
and I discovered
I could stay on it.
00:31:17.458 --> 00:31:21.416
We're forgetting your
father and Mr. Ordoñez.
00:31:22.333 --> 00:31:24.291
Who cares?
I love you.
00:31:26.708 --> 00:31:29.458
When you say it once
and again,
00:31:29.666 --> 00:31:32.083
it's because you yourself
need convincing.
00:31:36.541 --> 00:31:39.500
Don't get carried away.
It's just a taste.
00:31:46.291 --> 00:31:48.291
Oh, so you remembered us!
00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:50.041
See?
00:31:50.916 --> 00:31:53.333
Sometimes we realize
other people exist.
00:31:53.541 --> 00:31:55.541
There's finally some joy
in this house.
00:31:55.875 --> 00:31:56.958
Cheers.
00:31:57.208 --> 00:31:58.500
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
00:32:03.583 --> 00:32:04.875
There's Carlos.
00:32:05.250 --> 00:32:06.666
-Armando.
-Yes?
00:32:06.875 --> 00:32:08.750
After we sign,
we'll have another drink.
00:32:08.958 --> 00:32:10.375
Even Carlos will.
00:32:10.708 --> 00:32:12.916
We need to help him
through this moment.
00:32:13.916 --> 00:32:15.458
Be quiet. It's him.
00:32:21.125 --> 00:32:22.958
Hi, Carlos, how are you?
00:32:23.208 --> 00:32:24.750
Come in, come on in,
00:32:25.083 --> 00:32:26.875
How are you, Don Carlos?
00:32:27.208 --> 00:32:29.000
How are we doing?
00:32:29.083 --> 00:32:31.500
We were waiting for you.
Sit down.
00:32:31.750 --> 00:32:34.291
Sit. Please make yourself
at home.
00:32:35.708 --> 00:32:38.250
Sit, please sit.
00:32:40.250 --> 00:32:42.541
We have the documents
ready to be signed.
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:44.416
And the money.
00:32:44.541 --> 00:32:45.666
Congratulations.
00:32:45.791 --> 00:32:49.166
I honestly didn't think
you'd have it so soon.
00:32:50.416 --> 00:32:51.625
Want to sign?
00:32:51.833 --> 00:32:54.250
I'd like to read it
if you don't mind.
00:32:54.708 --> 00:32:56.500
-Of course.
-Of course.
00:32:56.583 --> 00:32:57.791
It's not mistrust.
00:32:57.916 --> 00:33:00.541
I just like to read
what I'm about to sign.
00:33:18.875 --> 00:33:21.166
It's all here.
00:33:21.750 --> 00:33:25.041
The lands are mine
and the factory's yours.
00:33:25.333 --> 00:33:27.250
-Now we just need--
-The money.
00:33:27.333 --> 00:33:29.791
-Right.
-Exactly. Here it is.
00:33:30.250 --> 00:33:31.541
Let's proceed.
00:33:31.750 --> 00:33:34.083
If it's not too much
trouble, may I count it?
00:33:34.416 --> 00:33:35.958
Minutes more, minutes less...
00:33:36.208 --> 00:33:37.833
No, no, please.
00:33:38.291 --> 00:33:39.625
Count away.
00:33:58.958 --> 00:34:00.291
Perfect.
00:34:00.500 --> 00:34:03.583
I counted it twice and
not one peso is missing.
00:34:06.458 --> 00:34:09.666
If you don't mind,
in order of seniority.
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.541
-One copy for you.
-Thank you.
00:34:31.750 --> 00:34:33.000
One for you...
00:34:33.208 --> 00:34:34.541
and everybody happy.
00:34:34.666 --> 00:34:37.291
Well, let's toast.
00:34:39.583 --> 00:34:41.208
Thank you, honey.
00:34:42.416 --> 00:34:43.958
Cheers, and good luck.
00:34:44.083 --> 00:34:45.083
Cheers.
00:34:45.291 --> 00:34:46.750
Cheers.
00:34:47.291 --> 00:34:48.958
One moment.
00:34:49.958 --> 00:34:52.375
Have you decided who
you'll sell the fruit to?
00:34:52.791 --> 00:34:55.041
Hold on. I assumed the factory
would keep doing so.
00:34:55.250 --> 00:34:59.000
Yes, of course.
With other suppliers, though.
00:34:59.791 --> 00:35:02.625
We won't buy absolutely
anything from you.
00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:05.666
It's a shame all that fruit
will go to waste.
00:35:05.916 --> 00:35:07.375
I don't get it.
00:35:07.458 --> 00:35:10.541
If you buy from me, you'll
save on freight, transportation.
00:35:10.750 --> 00:35:13.875
If you buy from another
supplier, you'll pay more.
00:35:14.041 --> 00:35:15.541
Don't worry about that.
00:35:15.666 --> 00:35:16.666
And start thinking about
00:35:16.916 --> 00:35:18.875
selling us the land
at the price we say.
00:35:18.958 --> 00:35:20.083
Cheers.
00:35:20.291 --> 00:35:21.375
Cheers.
00:35:21.625 --> 00:35:23.791
May I be allowed?
00:35:24.166 --> 00:35:25.833
Since the love is mutual,
00:35:25.916 --> 00:35:28.250
I won't allow you to close
on such a bad deal.
00:35:28.333 --> 00:35:29.666
Oh? What will you do?
00:35:29.791 --> 00:35:31.958
Summon all factory shareholders
to a meeting.
00:35:32.166 --> 00:35:34.166
You have no voice
in that meeting.
00:35:34.291 --> 00:35:35.708
I have the majority
of the shares.
00:35:35.791 --> 00:35:39.000
You had. Before I acquired
those you put up for sale.
00:35:39.333 --> 00:35:41.708
This money was mine
to begin with.
00:35:41.791 --> 00:35:43.250
You sold the shares.
00:35:43.458 --> 00:35:45.125
I bought them
through other people.
00:35:45.208 --> 00:35:46.416
That means--
00:35:46.541 --> 00:35:49.041
That the land is mine alone.
00:35:49.166 --> 00:35:50.708
As to the factory,
00:35:51.125 --> 00:35:52.875
we're partners.
00:35:53.875 --> 00:35:57.083
Cheers, good people.
00:36:10.791 --> 00:36:13.875
UPCOMING WEDDING
00:36:14.083 --> 00:36:15.750
VERY SOON WE'LL HAVE
THE WEDDING
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.208
BETWEEN STYLISH
BARBARA PEÑAFIEL
00:36:18.291 --> 00:36:20.625
AND CHIVALROUS
ARMANDO ROMERO.
00:36:20.833 --> 00:36:23.166
TONIGHT AT RANCHO CLUB
WILL BE CARRIED OUT
00:36:23.416 --> 00:36:25.833
THE TRADITIONAL CHARITY BALL
TO HELP POOR CHILDREN
00:37:07.791 --> 00:37:09.333
What will you have?
00:37:09.791 --> 00:37:11.583
Daiquiri, please.
00:37:26.583 --> 00:37:29.791
This is the only spot
where it's relatively quiet.
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:32.333
But you're here.
00:37:32.541 --> 00:37:35.166
I'm trying to keep
my suit pressed.
00:37:36.208 --> 00:37:38.583
It's what happens to men who
wear a suit for the first time.
00:37:38.708 --> 00:37:40.791
I thought I'd fooled you.
00:37:41.041 --> 00:37:44.375
Perhaps. Good idea not to brush
against others, though.
00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:48.250
The starch would fall off and
the actual fabric would show.
00:37:48.333 --> 00:37:49.875
You're right.
00:37:50.083 --> 00:37:53.875
I don't understand these pious
benefits for poor, hungry orphans.
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:56.625
It's an odd way
of showing you're helping.
00:37:57.625 --> 00:37:59.708
If they're so annoying,
why are you here?
00:37:59.875 --> 00:38:02.750
I don't know, maybe...
00:38:03.083 --> 00:38:04.333
to see you.
00:38:10.291 --> 00:38:12.708
There are many things
you can acquire.
00:38:13.583 --> 00:38:16.541
Others, though, you only
get when you're well-bred.
00:38:16.666 --> 00:38:19.208
I broke all records
in the island
00:38:19.291 --> 00:38:20.875
by weighing 5 kilos.
00:38:21.083 --> 00:38:23.333
Too heavy to try to fly high.
00:38:23.625 --> 00:38:24.958
Barbara!
00:38:25.625 --> 00:38:27.041
We hate you.
00:38:27.291 --> 00:38:28.708
You're monopolizing
all the men.
00:38:28.791 --> 00:38:33.083
What if Armando went
to Havana and left you?
00:38:33.541 --> 00:38:35.750
You're misinformed.
He's very busy.
00:38:36.916 --> 00:38:39.333
Listen! That song
drives me crazy.
00:38:39.666 --> 00:38:43.416
Me, first. That song
drives me crazy too.
00:38:44.291 --> 00:38:45.791
Excuse me.
00:38:45.875 --> 00:38:47.541
I'll go see if I do
something for
00:38:48.083 --> 00:38:50.041
the children of Santa Ana.
00:38:52.291 --> 00:38:53.750
The nerve!
00:38:53.958 --> 00:38:55.791
She wanted him for herself.
00:38:55.916 --> 00:38:57.875
I don't understand
the attraction.
00:38:58.125 --> 00:39:00.666
If he had kissed you,
you'd understand many things.
00:39:01.208 --> 00:39:03.500
Sorry, I need to keep
my eye on them.
00:39:05.958 --> 00:39:07.500
Here you are.
00:39:18.458 --> 00:39:21.333
You're crazy to leave
on your own with this weather.
00:39:21.666 --> 00:39:23.500
You sure you don't want
to come home with me?
00:39:23.833 --> 00:39:25.375
No, thank you.
00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:26.791
Dad would worry.
00:39:26.916 --> 00:39:29.541
Good advice.
Your car will never make it,
00:39:29.791 --> 00:39:31.666
but you could come
with me in my Jeep.
00:39:31.875 --> 00:39:35.083
Thanks for the advice,
but I know the way.
00:39:35.750 --> 00:39:37.750
I'll follow you closely
anyway.
00:39:37.958 --> 00:39:40.375
It won't be the first time
I have to rescue you.
00:39:40.583 --> 00:39:43.666
You won't be able
to follow me very closely.
00:39:58.625 --> 00:40:00.375
Lower your window!
00:40:00.708 --> 00:40:02.250
I can't hear you!
00:40:03.583 --> 00:40:04.750
You got lucky.
00:40:04.875 --> 00:40:06.500
We're very close
to my house.
00:40:08.750 --> 00:40:11.125
Don't insist.
The road gets worse.
00:40:11.333 --> 00:40:13.250
Not even my Jeep
will make it anywhere.
00:40:13.791 --> 00:40:15.333
I'll try walking.
00:40:21.291 --> 00:40:22.750
Hold on!
00:40:22.833 --> 00:40:24.958
You won't make it
thirty steps!
00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:38.166
There goes the starch.
00:40:40.375 --> 00:40:42.166
Come. Come on,
let me help you.
00:40:42.708 --> 00:40:44.041
Don't touch me!
00:40:44.166 --> 00:40:46.666
Don't be silly.
It's a terrible night.
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:49.083
Let's go.
Help me out here.
00:40:49.416 --> 00:40:51.500
Help me. I'm stuck in mud
and you're slipping.
00:40:51.708 --> 00:40:52.833
I don't want to!
00:40:53.041 --> 00:40:54.583
Here, hold on to me.
There.
00:40:54.791 --> 00:40:56.125
Let's go.
00:40:57.125 --> 00:40:58.541
Let me go.
00:40:59.208 --> 00:41:00.750
Let go of me!
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:02.291
I demand you leave me
in my car.
00:41:02.500 --> 00:41:05.041
No! You want
to catch pneumonia
00:41:05.291 --> 00:41:07.041
so I'll have you
on my conscience.
00:41:07.166 --> 00:41:09.916
-No, you don't.
-Don't flatter yourself.
00:41:13.750 --> 00:41:16.541
I'll give you
what you hate the most.
00:41:19.833 --> 00:41:21.041
How about that?
00:41:21.166 --> 00:41:23.583
You're a shameless,
insolent man!
00:41:24.416 --> 00:41:25.625
Put me down!
00:41:25.875 --> 00:41:27.958
Let me go,
for God's sake!
00:41:28.083 --> 00:41:29.583
Put me down!
00:41:29.708 --> 00:41:32.000
Let me go!
00:41:48.875 --> 00:41:50.083
Here.
00:41:51.041 --> 00:41:53.500
Either you undress or
I do it for you. Take your pick.
00:41:54.916 --> 00:41:57.375
You don't expect me
to undress in front of you.
00:42:08.333 --> 00:42:10.083
There's a latch here.
00:42:42.375 --> 00:42:45.166
Thought you could use
some hot coffee.
00:42:45.583 --> 00:42:47.708
-Don't you knock?
-No.
00:42:48.791 --> 00:42:51.875
Coffee would be cold by
the time you opened the door.
00:42:53.291 --> 00:42:55.166
Here, drink it.
00:42:57.500 --> 00:43:00.208
Don't make me force you.
00:43:01.708 --> 00:43:03.583
That wasn't me, alright?
00:43:03.708 --> 00:43:05.666
This lamp has a mind
of its own.
00:43:10.958 --> 00:43:12.833
Why are you shivering?
00:43:13.750 --> 00:43:16.166
Because I'm afraid of you.
00:43:16.375 --> 00:43:17.500
Of me?
00:43:18.166 --> 00:43:19.500
No.
00:43:19.833 --> 00:43:22.125
Your own fear makes
you shiver.
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:28.666
Tell me why you're shivering.
Say it.
00:43:30.208 --> 00:43:31.625
I hate you!
00:43:33.458 --> 00:43:35.125
I can feel your hatred
00:43:35.333 --> 00:43:37.083
in every shuddering breath.
00:43:37.416 --> 00:43:38.875
You lie.
00:43:40.958 --> 00:43:42.541
You lie.
00:43:43.541 --> 00:43:45.208
You lie!
00:44:09.583 --> 00:44:11.208
No, Don Rodolfo.
00:44:11.333 --> 00:44:12.458
Despite the circumstances,
00:44:12.541 --> 00:44:15.750
I have an inescapable duty
as friend and gentleman.
00:44:15.958 --> 00:44:18.416
I'll honor my promise
of marriage.
00:44:18.750 --> 00:44:21.625
I appreciate your noble
sentiment, Armando.
00:44:21.750 --> 00:44:24.916
But Barbara was firm when
she said she releases you.
00:44:26.958 --> 00:44:28.166
Excuse me.
00:44:31.541 --> 00:44:33.208
Thank you.
00:44:34.958 --> 00:44:38.708
They're still printing
those rumors.
00:44:39.166 --> 00:44:41.708
Who knows when they'll quit.
00:44:42.666 --> 00:44:44.208
Same thing.
00:44:44.416 --> 00:44:46.500
They wonder if the rumors
about Carlos are true,
00:44:46.833 --> 00:44:49.000
and if she'll break up
the engagement...
00:44:49.250 --> 00:44:52.583
How can there be men
who do this for a living?
00:44:52.916 --> 00:44:54.916
You should go on a trip,
00:44:55.125 --> 00:44:58.666
leaving me power of attorney
to run the business.
00:44:58.875 --> 00:45:02.166
When you come back,
it will have blown over.
00:45:02.375 --> 00:45:05.250
Yeah, right. Barbara
won't take the man.
00:45:05.500 --> 00:45:08.458
You're the one who should
safeguard her reputation.
00:45:30.750 --> 00:45:33.916
Mr. Armando just left.
Why don't you talk to him?
00:45:36.916 --> 00:45:38.666
What for?
00:45:40.125 --> 00:45:42.833
What happened would always
be between us, and...
00:45:44.833 --> 00:45:47.166
it wouldn't allow us
to be happy.
00:45:47.833 --> 00:45:51.250
And those gossips who do
nothing but print filth.
00:45:51.708 --> 00:45:53.875
They've filled us
with shame.
00:45:54.666 --> 00:45:56.875
No, Valentina.
00:45:57.625 --> 00:46:00.500
I'm the only one to blame.
00:46:03.666 --> 00:46:07.000
If you only knew
how ashamed I am!
00:46:10.833 --> 00:46:12.750
When I woke up
00:46:13.166 --> 00:46:15.291
and saw him next to me,
00:46:16.375 --> 00:46:20.583
I smashed his head with the first
thing I could lay my hands on.
00:46:20.791 --> 00:46:23.791
That was wrong. It's what
turned it into a scandal.
00:46:23.916 --> 00:46:25.791
It's why everybody heard.
00:46:26.916 --> 00:46:29.666
Oh, dear, what craziness.
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.958
How could it happen?
00:46:32.541 --> 00:46:34.375
I don't know.
00:46:34.833 --> 00:46:36.583
I don't know.
00:46:38.458 --> 00:46:40.083
I wasn't myself.
00:46:41.500 --> 00:46:45.833
It was someone else, a woman
with the devil inside.
00:46:47.916 --> 00:46:50.541
It's beyond
all understanding.
00:46:50.750 --> 00:46:52.000
It's witchcraft!
00:46:52.208 --> 00:46:54.125
I've always said
Carlos is a sorcerer.
00:46:54.333 --> 00:46:56.750
He can conjure the devil
whenever he wants.
00:47:03.500 --> 00:47:05.708
You can't imagine
how much I hate him.
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:09.916
He destroyed my life, but...
00:47:11.333 --> 00:47:15.791
I swear I'll do anything
to destroy his.
00:47:17.333 --> 00:47:19.416
Anything.
00:47:28.958 --> 00:47:30.083
Hello.
00:47:30.208 --> 00:47:32.291
-Nice one, you swine!
-Me?
00:47:32.500 --> 00:47:34.625
Don't play coy.
Everybody knows.
00:47:34.708 --> 00:47:35.708
Knows what?
00:47:35.833 --> 00:47:37.583
The reason my girl
weeps all day long,
00:47:37.791 --> 00:47:39.333
and nearly killed
her father.
00:47:39.541 --> 00:47:42.500
I don't get it! You should
all be jumping for joy.
00:47:42.625 --> 00:47:45.083
Well, all except you.
You're green with envy.
00:47:45.291 --> 00:47:46.833
With anger!
00:47:46.958 --> 00:47:48.791
I've loved you
like my own son.
00:47:48.916 --> 00:47:50.208
How could you do that
to my girl?
00:47:50.250 --> 00:47:51.875
-Your darling pet, right?
-Yes, so what?
00:47:51.875 --> 00:47:54.000
You were going to let her
marry that other one.
00:47:54.208 --> 00:47:55.458
All the toys were for her.
00:47:55.583 --> 00:47:58.250
What about your other child?
You're no mother.
00:47:58.375 --> 00:48:00.375
That other one
is the one she wants.
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:03.958
Your darling pet's whims.
I also like toys.
00:48:04.041 --> 00:48:05.166
And you'll never get them.
00:48:05.375 --> 00:48:08.666
Yeah, but there are toys
you only get if you misbehave.
00:48:08.791 --> 00:48:10.875
Don't touch me
with those devil hands!
00:48:16.583 --> 00:48:17.791
Yes?
00:48:18.041 --> 00:48:19.583
Don Carlos is here.
00:48:19.916 --> 00:48:21.250
Show him in.
00:48:21.375 --> 00:48:23.125
And tell Barbara to come.
00:48:31.500 --> 00:48:34.250
I waited for you
to feel better to see you.
00:48:34.500 --> 00:48:36.333
I would've gone
to see you myself.
00:48:36.458 --> 00:48:39.333
Rotten scoundrel!
You always get away with it.
00:48:39.500 --> 00:48:42.500
But with my daughter
you won't!
00:48:51.166 --> 00:48:54.583
Don Rodolfo,
please don't get agitated.
00:48:54.708 --> 00:48:57.708
You're unwell, and I'd like
to have a conversation.
00:48:57.916 --> 00:49:00.791
If afterwards you still
believe you must use the gun,
00:49:01.041 --> 00:49:02.333
then do it.
00:49:02.625 --> 00:49:05.583
If you were a gentleman
I'd ask for an explanation--
00:49:05.708 --> 00:49:07.333
No, we're starting off
on the wrong foot.
00:49:07.333 --> 00:49:10.333
-I'm not a gentleman.
-Well, I'll show you.
00:49:10.666 --> 00:49:11.958
When a gentleman
has an affair--
00:49:12.208 --> 00:49:14.291
Yes, gentlemen allow
themselves to have affairs,
00:49:14.416 --> 00:49:17.833
but men, when we do something,
we know why we do it.
00:49:19.083 --> 00:49:20.916
I want to marry
your daughter.
00:49:22.791 --> 00:49:26.208
And you know
I'm not a rotten scoundrel.
00:49:26.333 --> 00:49:29.083
-Your methods--
-Were always straightforward.
00:49:29.208 --> 00:49:31.208
Not only did my father and I
not steal from you.
00:49:31.541 --> 00:49:33.291
With our love and hard work
we saved all this
00:49:33.541 --> 00:49:36.750
which you had let go to ruin.
00:49:37.041 --> 00:49:39.916
Well, I admit
I was rather busy.
00:49:40.125 --> 00:49:42.875
-And my wife was ill in Europe.
-Yes.
00:49:43.208 --> 00:49:47.708
There were also some healthy
ladies, plus your gambling.
00:49:52.250 --> 00:49:55.125
That's the truth
you haven't told Barbara
00:49:55.333 --> 00:49:56.916
because you're weak.
00:49:57.125 --> 00:49:59.666
If you think that truth
might influence her decision,
00:49:59.791 --> 00:50:02.125
-I'll tell her.
-Absolutely not.
00:50:02.541 --> 00:50:04.541
A father will always
be a father.
00:50:04.666 --> 00:50:06.500
I won't be the one
to tell her.
00:50:09.458 --> 00:50:10.875
Come in.
00:50:34.708 --> 00:50:39.041
Barbara, Carlos has asked
for your hand in marriage.
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:48.625
Then, it should be done
as soon as possible.
00:50:50.500 --> 00:50:53.250
If the gentleman agrees.
00:50:54.791 --> 00:50:56.458
Whatever you wish.
00:50:59.708 --> 00:51:01.875
Barbara is all I have left.
00:51:02.208 --> 00:51:04.875
I would ask you
to live here.
00:51:06.208 --> 00:51:08.625
I have no problem with that.
00:51:10.416 --> 00:51:14.166
Well, I guess there's
nothing left to say.
00:51:14.375 --> 00:51:16.041
Nothing.
00:51:17.041 --> 00:51:20.291
Except for my conditions,
even if they don't matter.
00:51:22.375 --> 00:51:25.833
He must be aware that
I marry him without loving him.
00:51:25.916 --> 00:51:28.916
Don't worry.
I'll take care of that.
00:51:31.708 --> 00:51:34.666
WEDDING
00:51:34.916 --> 00:51:36.875
TODAY, THE GRACIOUS
BARBARA PEÑAFIEL
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:41.208
MARRIED THE POLITE AND
DEBONAIR CARLOS ANDRADE.
00:52:42.083 --> 00:52:43.416
You'll have to excuse me,
00:52:43.500 --> 00:52:46.708
but I don't like wearing
pajama tops to bed.
00:53:18.958 --> 00:53:22.333
I can turn off the light.
if you prefer.
00:53:23.666 --> 00:53:25.916
If you plan to sleep here,
go ahead.
00:53:26.583 --> 00:53:29.083
Why?
Isn't this our bedroom?
00:53:29.750 --> 00:53:31.375
It used to be mine.
00:53:31.500 --> 00:53:34.916
If it's to be ours, I'd rather
sleep with the help.
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:43.833
Well, it can still be yours.
00:53:45.166 --> 00:53:48.041
What can we do
if that's how it must be?
00:54:01.541 --> 00:54:03.541
Any other condition?
00:54:05.750 --> 00:54:08.166
It's implied in the bedroom.
00:54:10.916 --> 00:54:13.458
Be content with what
you wished for as a boy.
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:18.458
I saw your face many times
from here.
00:54:19.541 --> 00:54:21.458
From my window.
00:54:22.875 --> 00:54:24.791
You made it.
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:28.958
You now own everything
in this house.
00:54:29.041 --> 00:54:31.166
It's exactly what I wanted:
00:54:32.416 --> 00:54:35.041
To own everything.
00:54:35.291 --> 00:54:37.416
Never, you hear?
00:54:38.166 --> 00:54:42.333
Stealing and humiliating
won't give you anything.
00:54:43.750 --> 00:54:46.875
There's something your ambition
will never get.
00:54:47.750 --> 00:54:49.000
That will be your punishment.
00:54:49.083 --> 00:54:51.833
And yours, you hypocrite.
00:54:52.041 --> 00:54:55.500
Can't you see?
I'm stronger than you.
00:54:55.958 --> 00:54:57.166
So what?
00:54:57.166 --> 00:55:01.166
You can rip off my clothes
and have your way with me.
00:55:02.250 --> 00:55:06.125
But instead of caresses,
you'll hear my hatred saying,
00:55:06.333 --> 00:55:09.083
I'm not yours, I'm not yours.
I'm not yours!
00:55:09.208 --> 00:55:11.666
That's what you'd like.
00:55:11.875 --> 00:55:14.958
But I know you'd soon start
returning kisses and caresses
00:55:15.166 --> 00:55:17.375
with as much force as mine.
00:55:18.458 --> 00:55:21.291
It's upsetting to recall
it already happened once, huh?
00:55:23.833 --> 00:55:25.166
Get out!
00:55:25.250 --> 00:55:27.250
Leave before I crack
your skull again!
00:55:27.458 --> 00:55:29.416
No, it's fine.
00:55:29.875 --> 00:55:32.250
You stoop down to my level.
That way we can speak
00:55:32.375 --> 00:55:34.000
the same language.
00:55:34.666 --> 00:55:36.125
Here are my conditions.
00:55:37.416 --> 00:55:41.208
You can take care of yourself
until the time of your choosing.
00:55:41.416 --> 00:55:43.208
But...
00:55:43.291 --> 00:55:47.375
you're not allowed to use
your... personal assets
00:55:47.916 --> 00:55:50.791
with anyone
who isn't your husband.
00:55:54.208 --> 00:55:55.875
Understood?
00:55:58.416 --> 00:56:01.541
And since that nasty strike
was not my idea,
00:56:01.750 --> 00:56:05.166
I can use mine however
and whenever I feel like it.
00:56:14.958 --> 00:56:17.708
Disloyalty is off limits!
00:56:21.250 --> 00:56:22.875
Anything else I should know?
00:56:23.333 --> 00:56:27.666
Yes! Tell Valentina to come
and change my sheets.
00:56:28.750 --> 00:56:32.250
An animal climbed into my bed
and soiled them!
00:56:52.375 --> 00:56:55.041
I have better prescriptions
for that.
00:56:57.833 --> 00:56:59.625
It's all I have left of him.
00:57:01.125 --> 00:57:03.458
Half a bottle of rum.
00:57:20.916 --> 00:57:24.125
Don't forget the bottle.
You might need it.
00:57:35.666 --> 00:57:37.250
I'm off.
00:57:37.333 --> 00:57:39.458
Wait a while, then do it.
00:57:39.916 --> 00:57:41.666
We don't need a scandal.
00:57:45.375 --> 00:57:47.041
What does he want?
00:57:47.666 --> 00:57:49.458
He comforted me.
00:57:49.541 --> 00:57:53.208
He's so willing it seems he's
the one who needs unburdening.
00:57:56.166 --> 00:57:57.708
And those guys?
00:57:58.916 --> 00:58:02.333
They look like they'd do
anything for a bit of money.
00:58:04.208 --> 00:58:05.666
Watch your back.
00:58:08.458 --> 00:58:10.000
Shall I open it?
00:58:11.750 --> 00:58:13.333
If you want.
00:58:13.541 --> 00:58:17.750
When you start something,
you need to finish them.
00:58:19.625 --> 00:58:21.250
Marta,
00:58:21.708 --> 00:58:24.458
we're not the kind of people
who lie to each other.
00:58:26.666 --> 00:58:28.208
Don't open it.
00:58:29.875 --> 00:58:32.375
We can start it as friends.
00:58:34.041 --> 00:58:37.750
We can, like good friends
who want to get drunk.
00:58:52.875 --> 00:58:55.166
-Good morning, honey.
-Morning, dad.
00:58:57.916 --> 00:58:59.916
Aren't we waiting for Carlos?
00:59:00.458 --> 00:59:03.000
Mr. Carlos didn't sleep at home
on his first--
00:59:03.125 --> 00:59:04.875
I didn't ask for gossip.
00:59:05.291 --> 00:59:06.958
That was not my question.
00:59:08.416 --> 00:59:09.916
We're not waiting, sir.
00:59:10.041 --> 00:59:12.666
He probably had breakfast
where he slept.
00:59:14.125 --> 00:59:16.416
She behaves
like a mother-in-law.
00:59:20.458 --> 00:59:22.458
As if we didn't know
where he slept.
00:59:22.666 --> 00:59:25.000
-At the bar, with that--
-Dad!
00:59:26.083 --> 00:59:28.958
Please stay out of it.
00:59:29.083 --> 00:59:31.916
He's telling the world he'd
rather be with a whore than--
00:59:32.791 --> 00:59:34.208
It's unacceptable, honey.
00:59:34.333 --> 00:59:36.791
Urgent call from
the factory, sir.
00:59:42.916 --> 00:59:47.166
I didn't get any sleep either
thanks to the bar.
00:59:47.375 --> 00:59:49.791
That woman's braying
was louder than ever.
00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:51.458
As if laughing at us.
00:59:51.541 --> 00:59:53.291
Valentina, please!
00:59:53.416 --> 00:59:55.083
Fine, fine.
00:59:55.416 --> 00:59:56.833
But if we cross paths,
00:59:57.083 --> 01:00:01.375
I'm not to blame if
anyone loses all their teeth.
01:00:10.791 --> 01:00:13.333
You didn't expect this, huh?
01:00:13.541 --> 01:00:15.875
-I can't believe it.
-I can.
01:00:16.083 --> 01:00:19.166
A man like Armando
would have a hard time
01:00:19.416 --> 01:00:22.625
working for the man
who married his fiancée.
01:00:23.416 --> 01:00:27.250
These loans at an interest
rate of 18% were signed
01:00:27.458 --> 01:00:32.125
by the same men who play
poker with this gentleman.
01:00:32.833 --> 01:00:34.166
You have no proof.
01:00:34.375 --> 01:00:37.791
If I sue them, they'll declare
8% is for the loan,
01:00:37.916 --> 01:00:40.291
and the other 10% is
for paying off your debts.
01:00:40.416 --> 01:00:41.875
They'll have no choice.
01:00:42.083 --> 01:00:43.708
Either they go to prison,
01:00:44.083 --> 01:00:45.750
or you do.
01:00:46.041 --> 01:00:47.500
Your resignation.
01:00:53.333 --> 01:00:56.291
So it's true.
That's how you repay me.
01:00:56.750 --> 01:00:59.500
-How could you?
-You should know.
01:00:59.625 --> 01:01:01.791
You have some experience
with gambling debts.
01:01:01.916 --> 01:01:03.875
Now I understand
your honorable feelings.
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:06.208
Your generous offer
to marry my daughter.
01:01:06.500 --> 01:01:09.250
Get lost! I don't want
to see you ever again.
01:01:09.458 --> 01:01:12.000
I didn't get much in exchange
for saving your reputation.
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:17.291
No, Don Rodolfo. Sadly,
we'll see more of him.
01:01:17.416 --> 01:01:19.958
You'll stay until
I accept your resignation.
01:01:20.041 --> 01:01:21.625
-You can't make me--
-Choose.
01:01:21.708 --> 01:01:23.625
It's either that, or prison.
01:01:38.000 --> 01:01:39.958
Carlos.
01:01:40.625 --> 01:01:43.166
It's dangerous to keep
an enemy this close.
01:01:43.291 --> 01:01:45.708
I don't want Barbara
or anyone to know.
01:01:45.916 --> 01:01:50.000
I think she should know
the kind of man he is.
01:01:50.250 --> 01:01:53.125
No, she'd be ridiculed and...
01:01:53.458 --> 01:01:57.083
it's sad for a woman to learn
she was loved for her money.
01:02:09.041 --> 01:02:11.916
Trust me. If it weren't for him,
I would've never told you.
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:13.750
Don Rodolfo gambled and lost.
01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:16.416
I paid those debts to prevent
it from getting out.
01:02:16.625 --> 01:02:20.333
But Carlos saw it in the books.
I can't defend myself.
01:02:21.916 --> 01:02:23.000
Don't worry, Armando.
01:02:23.125 --> 01:02:25.958
I'll give you a letter
saying the money was for me.
01:02:27.833 --> 01:02:29.958
He won't throw his wife
in prison.
01:02:30.500 --> 01:02:33.958
Barbara, I was determined
not to see you again.
01:02:34.166 --> 01:02:36.791
-I struggled to forget you.
-Stop, Armando.
01:02:37.666 --> 01:02:39.791
Don't make it harder.
01:02:39.875 --> 01:02:43.083
It seemed like a dream, but
it's a terrible reality.
01:02:44.333 --> 01:02:46.291
I sometimes wonder
if you ever loved me.
01:02:46.500 --> 01:02:48.708
Yes, Armando, but...
01:02:49.916 --> 01:02:52.208
but I don't know
what happened.
01:02:52.958 --> 01:02:56.041
Sometimes I feel like a puppet
moved by strange forces
01:02:56.166 --> 01:03:00.125
that make me forget
everything else.
01:03:02.208 --> 01:03:05.291
It's stronger than love.
01:03:07.375 --> 01:03:08.916
I love you, Barbara.
01:03:09.125 --> 01:03:11.333
I'd do anything for you.
01:03:16.541 --> 01:03:19.041
No... no, no!
01:03:19.375 --> 01:03:20.916
I'm mad!
01:03:21.333 --> 01:03:24.250
Torn between good and evil.
01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:26.500
It's absurd.
01:03:26.625 --> 01:03:28.500
My love, we must
help each other,
01:03:28.750 --> 01:03:31.916
and somehow get rid
of those strange forces.
01:04:05.250 --> 01:04:06.375
Hello.
01:04:06.583 --> 01:04:08.916
You just show up
when something big happens.
01:04:09.125 --> 01:04:11.875
Is it true several workers
were wounded in the explosion?
01:04:12.333 --> 01:04:13.958
Double.
01:04:14.041 --> 01:04:16.041
You still have weird clients.
01:04:16.500 --> 01:04:19.458
Every night. They seem
to be looking for someone.
01:04:20.791 --> 01:04:24.208
Don't turn.
They're looking for you.
01:04:25.208 --> 01:04:26.833
That's why I'm here.
01:04:27.708 --> 01:04:29.375
They were celebrating
their success,
01:04:29.500 --> 01:04:32.458
spending as if money
were not a problem.
01:04:32.541 --> 01:04:35.125
-Armando is very generous.
-I agree.
01:04:35.916 --> 01:04:37.541
Want my advice?
01:04:37.791 --> 01:04:39.875
In your shoes,
I wouldn't drink.
01:04:42.083 --> 01:04:43.833
Watch out!
01:04:55.958 --> 01:04:57.750
Those people...
01:04:58.041 --> 01:05:00.625
They can't have fun
if there're no bullets.
01:05:02.500 --> 01:05:04.250
How's Barbara, doctor?
01:05:04.458 --> 01:05:06.333
Very excitable.
01:05:06.666 --> 01:05:08.833
She's stubborn.
Been like that for a month.
01:05:09.083 --> 01:05:11.791
Won't eat. Locks herself up
in her room. Doesn't sleep.
01:05:11.916 --> 01:05:13.583
How can anyone sleep?
01:05:14.250 --> 01:05:15.916
I heard shots.
01:05:16.125 --> 01:05:18.791
We were just
talking about that.
01:05:19.333 --> 01:05:21.541
It's like they do it
on purpose.
01:05:21.625 --> 01:05:24.500
Barbara, you need
a distraction.
01:05:25.041 --> 01:05:26.833
Right!
01:05:26.958 --> 01:05:29.791
I should set up a bar here
so they'll have some competition.
01:05:30.125 --> 01:05:32.458
I'm not sleeping anyway.
01:05:40.083 --> 01:05:43.291
We're throwing a party
tomorrow night.
01:05:46.833 --> 01:05:50.583
I think the crisis you saw
coming is about to happen.
01:05:52.291 --> 01:05:54.958
Alicia? How are you?
01:05:56.375 --> 01:05:59.458
Yes. We can talk
about that later.
01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:03.625
I haven't forgotten
your birthday's tomorrow.
01:06:03.833 --> 01:06:05.833
We can celebrate here.
01:06:08.708 --> 01:06:10.791
You can stay with me
for a few days.
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:14.750
You can invite anyone you want.
01:06:16.625 --> 01:06:19.583
Don't worry about that.
We'll have fun.
01:06:20.458 --> 01:06:23.208
See you tomorrow.
01:06:27.625 --> 01:06:29.250
Carlos!
01:06:29.708 --> 01:06:31.375
-What happened?
-Nothing.
01:06:31.583 --> 01:06:34.166
Some guys with bad aim
intended it as a prank.
01:06:34.375 --> 01:06:37.541
We heard shots, but we didn't
know you were there.
01:06:38.333 --> 01:06:40.541
Fortunately,
it just grazed him.
01:06:40.875 --> 01:06:42.875
Let's go take a look.
01:06:49.750 --> 01:06:51.958
There have been
too many strange occurrences.
01:06:52.083 --> 01:06:53.500
First, the explosion
in the factory.
01:06:53.583 --> 01:06:54.791
Now, this.
01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:56.666
I'll put people on it tomorrow.
01:06:56.875 --> 01:06:58.125
Don't worry.
01:06:58.333 --> 01:07:01.125
They were well hidden,
but I know who they are,
01:07:01.666 --> 01:07:03.541
and who sent them.
01:07:06.208 --> 01:07:10.291
Get some rest now. You won't
even remember tomorrow.
01:07:49.250 --> 01:07:52.666
Barbara, you were seen
with Armando.
01:07:55.166 --> 01:07:56.833
We were unlucky.
01:07:57.958 --> 01:07:59.708
They missed.
01:08:01.250 --> 01:08:03.458
Is that what you mean to say?
01:08:09.083 --> 01:08:11.166
You couldn't betray me
if you tried.
01:08:11.708 --> 01:08:13.500
Because you love me.
01:08:22.750 --> 01:08:24.541
You wouldn't betray me,
right?
01:08:26.375 --> 01:08:27.833
Right?
01:09:31.500 --> 01:09:33.041
Don't get spooked.
01:09:33.125 --> 01:09:34.791
It could be my ghost,
01:09:35.041 --> 01:09:37.541
but I can assure you
that would be worse.
01:09:37.666 --> 01:09:39.208
I don't know what you mean.
01:09:39.291 --> 01:09:41.625
You missed your chance
last night.
01:09:42.208 --> 01:09:44.291
You picked the wrong men.
01:09:45.166 --> 01:09:46.291
I still don't know.
01:09:46.500 --> 01:09:48.791
It's not in your best
interest to know.
01:09:49.041 --> 01:09:52.250
Look. There's a party
at my house tonight,
01:09:52.458 --> 01:09:54.458
and I'm here to invite you.
01:09:55.541 --> 01:09:56.958
I've got nothing to do
at your house.
01:09:57.208 --> 01:10:00.083
Yes, you do. Perhaps the only
good thing you'll ever do.
01:10:01.375 --> 01:10:04.708
You'll tell Barbara what
a wretch you've been.
01:10:05.333 --> 01:10:10.291
Once free of that burden,
you can try to be a real man.
01:10:12.416 --> 01:10:14.166
I'll think about it.
01:10:15.291 --> 01:10:16.750
Listen to me.
01:10:16.958 --> 01:10:21.500
Barbara is on the verge
of being happy.
01:10:22.250 --> 01:10:24.125
In exchange for her happiness,
01:10:24.375 --> 01:10:27.333
I'll tear up the paper
that may land you in prison.
01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:43.000
I have a message
from Armando.
01:10:43.250 --> 01:10:45.250
He wants the letter
you mentioned.
01:10:45.333 --> 01:10:47.125
Don't be alarmed.
01:10:47.250 --> 01:10:49.875
Tomorrow we're taking
the party to Dorita's.
01:10:50.083 --> 01:10:51.416
You're her friend.
01:10:51.541 --> 01:10:53.666
No one will suspect.
01:10:54.291 --> 01:10:56.708
-What about...?
-Don't worry about Carlos.
01:10:57.041 --> 01:10:59.458
Armando found a way
to get him out of here.
01:10:59.791 --> 01:11:01.666
Carlitos!
01:11:04.541 --> 01:11:07.208
I won't have to dance
alone anymore.
01:11:07.625 --> 01:11:10.166
Come, you have some
catching up to do.
01:11:16.625 --> 01:11:19.583
Look. We're several bottles
ahead of you.
01:11:20.041 --> 01:11:22.666
Can I have a hug?
It's my birthday.
01:11:22.875 --> 01:11:24.208
Happy birthday.
01:11:24.333 --> 01:11:25.875
Let me change my clothes
at least.
01:11:26.083 --> 01:11:28.250
It more fun this way.
01:11:28.583 --> 01:11:31.791
Oh, what a shame.
I'll play another record.
01:11:40.375 --> 01:11:42.708
Don't get your hopes up
because of last night.
01:11:43.583 --> 01:11:45.541
It was only a dream.
01:11:45.666 --> 01:11:47.000
A dream?
01:11:47.208 --> 01:11:50.083
You were next to me
when I woke up.
01:11:50.625 --> 01:11:53.250
It wasn't me.
It was another woman.
01:11:55.416 --> 01:12:00.125
At least try to pretend
in front of your friends.
01:12:10.333 --> 01:12:12.666
How was your day, darling?
01:12:13.458 --> 01:12:14.666
Lousy.
01:12:14.750 --> 01:12:16.000
Thank you.
01:12:19.125 --> 01:12:20.791
Shall we dance?
01:12:29.666 --> 01:12:31.333
Sorry.
01:12:32.125 --> 01:12:36.083
If I'd known, I would've used
the discarded woman trick,
01:12:36.208 --> 01:12:38.291
and confessed to my dad, too.
01:12:38.416 --> 01:12:39.875
Someone might hear.
01:12:40.083 --> 01:12:42.291
You'll hear me
once we're alone.
01:12:43.958 --> 01:12:45.250
Who are you looking for?
01:12:45.500 --> 01:12:47.000
Armando. Is he here?
01:12:47.250 --> 01:12:50.333
Well, well.
Were you expecting him?
01:12:50.666 --> 01:12:51.875
I invited him.
01:12:52.083 --> 01:12:53.541
Despite the things
they're saying?
01:12:53.750 --> 01:12:55.208
About Barbara and Armando?
01:12:55.291 --> 01:12:57.875
Idle talk.
01:12:58.208 --> 01:13:00.500
You really turned out
to be a modern husband.
01:13:00.583 --> 01:13:01.708
That's why I like you.
01:13:01.916 --> 01:13:03.916
It's just a question
of consent.
01:13:04.041 --> 01:13:05.708
We discussed it on
our wedding night.
01:13:06.041 --> 01:13:07.875
It's all about
communication.
01:13:08.125 --> 01:13:10.125
And Barbara
went along with it?
01:13:10.208 --> 01:13:11.958
She was delighted.
01:13:12.500 --> 01:13:14.625
I think I'll stay
for a few days
01:13:14.833 --> 01:13:18.166
and enjoy Barbara's
charming company.
01:13:58.250 --> 01:13:59.666
Where did Alicia run off to?
01:13:59.875 --> 01:14:02.291
To the first bed she could
find, to sleep it off.
01:14:03.500 --> 01:14:06.500
Carlos also disappeared
without saying goodbye.
01:14:06.625 --> 01:14:08.625
Carlos has a job.
He probably went to bed.
01:14:08.708 --> 01:14:10.583
-Good evening, Don Rodolfo.
-Good evening, dad.
01:14:10.708 --> 01:14:12.916
-Good evening, kids.
-Don't forget, Barbara.
01:14:13.041 --> 01:14:15.000
Tomorrow we're moving
the party to Dorita's.
01:14:15.250 --> 01:14:18.541
-See you.
-Good night, kids. Sleep well.
01:14:20.333 --> 01:14:21.750
What are you doing up
so late?
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:24.625
What could I do? Couldn't
sleep with all that noise.
01:14:24.750 --> 01:14:26.416
I went out for some fresh air.
01:14:26.625 --> 01:14:27.750
Have you seen Alicia?
01:14:27.833 --> 01:14:30.958
Yes. She went for a dip.
01:14:31.833 --> 01:14:33.583
Is she out of her mind?
She'll drown.
01:14:33.708 --> 01:14:36.833
Don't worry. Someone was
teaching her how to swim.
01:14:38.458 --> 01:14:40.666
In your shoes, honey,
01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:43.833
if someone stole my husband
right from under my nose,
01:14:44.083 --> 01:14:46.041
I'd crack her head.
01:14:47.125 --> 01:14:49.541
Or give her a taste
of her own medicine.
01:14:50.541 --> 01:14:52.500
No, not that.
01:14:53.041 --> 01:14:56.250
I'd kick up my heels.
Jealousy is a great weapon.
01:14:56.583 --> 01:14:58.333
See you tomorrow, darling.
01:17:00.916 --> 01:17:02.666
Hello.
01:17:06.625 --> 01:17:09.166
I'm dead tired.
01:17:11.708 --> 01:17:14.666
I can't even open my eyes.
01:17:16.541 --> 01:17:18.333
You know?
01:17:18.541 --> 01:17:20.750
I was suffocating
from the heat.
01:17:20.958 --> 01:17:22.500
I went down to the beach.
01:17:25.916 --> 01:17:28.541
I swam and swam.
01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:34.958
I'm so happy here,
with you, in your home,
01:17:36.583 --> 01:17:39.958
I never want to leave.
01:18:22.208 --> 01:18:23.541
Any news?
01:18:23.750 --> 01:18:26.291
Yeah. The enemy
is behaving oddly.
01:18:26.416 --> 01:18:28.416
Yesterday she invited a friend
thinking she was an ally,
01:18:28.416 --> 01:18:30.583
and today, she sent her away
without even saying goodbye.
01:18:30.625 --> 01:18:33.166
We're creating confusion
in the enemy lines.
01:18:33.375 --> 01:18:35.250
And in our lines as well.
01:18:35.458 --> 01:18:38.125
Last night I saw you
on the beach.
01:18:38.458 --> 01:18:40.791
Are we allies,
or aren't we?
01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:42.333
Just a skirmish.
01:18:42.541 --> 01:18:44.208
Someone had to stay
and guard the rear.
01:18:44.333 --> 01:18:47.833
Next time, I'll show you
I'm not too old
01:18:47.958 --> 01:18:50.166
for a skirmish
every now and then.
01:18:52.750 --> 01:18:54.125
I told you so, Don Carlos.
01:18:54.333 --> 01:18:56.875
The crops are flooded
at El Caney.
01:18:57.083 --> 01:18:58.625
The floodgates were opened.
01:18:58.750 --> 01:19:00.833
-Who got careless?
-It wasn't that.
01:19:01.083 --> 01:19:03.375
They saw you know who
over there.
01:19:03.583 --> 01:19:05.375
Tell Don Rodolfo
I'll be late.
01:19:05.500 --> 01:19:06.916
See you there.
01:19:18.250 --> 01:19:20.125
It's time for me
to get back.
01:19:20.541 --> 01:19:22.791
Don't worry. Carlos
will be home late.
01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:25.000
Besides, there's no more
reason to fear him.
01:19:25.333 --> 01:19:27.416
He won't get away with it.
01:19:28.083 --> 01:19:30.708
I've been thinking about us
and I have a solution.
01:19:31.125 --> 01:19:32.708
Divorce him.
01:19:33.041 --> 01:19:35.333
Do you think
we could be happy?
01:19:36.125 --> 01:19:39.625
You're entitled to half
his assets, and his money.
01:19:40.541 --> 01:19:42.083
Understand?
01:19:44.166 --> 01:19:46.458
We'd go to Europe for
a couple of months,
01:19:46.666 --> 01:19:48.875
forget about the past.
01:19:50.083 --> 01:19:52.625
Do you need his money
to forget?
01:19:53.833 --> 01:19:57.833
Well, you know
my father cut me off.
01:20:00.708 --> 01:20:03.250
You'd never talked to me
like that.
01:20:04.041 --> 01:20:07.000
Look. A bit of romance
is good.
01:20:07.416 --> 01:20:11.500
Two people in our situation,
though, must be straightforward.
01:20:14.125 --> 01:20:15.791
Yes, Armando.
01:20:16.708 --> 01:20:19.583
I promise I'll fight
for what's mine.
01:20:21.250 --> 01:20:23.791
Come on, let's dance.
01:20:33.250 --> 01:20:35.291
One o'clock in the morning.
01:20:35.583 --> 01:20:38.250
Will you have dinner
or breakfast?
01:20:38.333 --> 01:20:40.250
I told you I'd wait
for Carlos.
01:20:41.583 --> 01:20:42.791
El Caney.
01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:45.750
That's 25 kilometers away
and other 25 back.
01:20:48.500 --> 01:20:50.125
-That's him.
-Yes.
01:20:50.708 --> 01:20:52.666
I know that sound.
01:20:53.208 --> 01:20:55.500
I'll warm up the food.
01:21:03.166 --> 01:21:04.750
What happened?
01:21:05.041 --> 01:21:08.458
What?
We lost all the crops.
01:21:08.791 --> 01:21:10.666
It was useless to build dams.
01:21:10.875 --> 01:21:13.000
I wanted to cry
when I saw it.
01:21:13.541 --> 01:21:17.500
There was nothing
we could do.
01:21:20.833 --> 01:21:22.375
What about Armando?
01:21:25.791 --> 01:21:28.333
I told you to fire him
and throw him in prison.
01:21:28.416 --> 01:21:32.250
When I see him, not even
his mother will recognize him.
01:21:33.041 --> 01:21:35.250
I'll tell Valentina
to prepare you a bath.
01:21:35.375 --> 01:21:37.041
No, I'll eat something first.
01:21:37.250 --> 01:21:40.000
Then a bath
and then, to bed.
01:21:42.583 --> 01:21:44.875
-What is it?
-Nothing.
01:21:45.083 --> 01:21:48.416
It's that our plans failed,
but we can talk tomorrow.
01:21:48.500 --> 01:21:50.291
Go on, say it.
01:21:51.291 --> 01:21:53.708
Barbara went dancing
to Dorita's house,
01:21:53.958 --> 01:21:56.375
and apparently,
behind all of this,
01:21:56.583 --> 01:21:58.416
is the nefarious Armando.
01:21:59.291 --> 01:22:01.791
No, you're exhausted.
You'd better get some sleep.
01:22:02.041 --> 01:22:03.250
We'll talk.
01:22:03.458 --> 01:22:05.666
I understand.
I'd do the same.
01:22:06.041 --> 01:22:07.916
I'd go after him
and beat him up.
01:22:15.125 --> 01:22:17.541
So that was your plan, huh?
01:22:17.791 --> 01:22:20.291
The father who should be
on our side, playing dirty.
01:22:20.625 --> 01:22:23.708
I also have my methods.
Bring me my dinner!
01:22:24.250 --> 01:22:26.375
Had I known,
I would've poisoned it.
01:23:21.333 --> 01:23:23.750
This will be your home
from now on.
01:23:24.041 --> 01:23:25.916
I wanted an actual woman,
01:23:26.250 --> 01:23:28.458
not a stupid doll!
01:23:53.291 --> 01:23:55.125
Your bath is ready.
01:23:55.333 --> 01:23:56.875
Thank you, Valentina.
01:23:57.083 --> 01:23:58.875
You're leaving, then?
01:23:59.750 --> 01:24:02.208
You won't talk me out
of it, dad.
01:24:02.875 --> 01:24:04.416
I know he got to you.
01:24:04.625 --> 01:24:06.500
You're wrong.
He didn't.
01:24:06.958 --> 01:24:08.583
He won me over.
01:24:08.916 --> 01:24:11.125
Everything else is
this old gossip's fault.
01:24:11.458 --> 01:24:12.583
Gossip?
01:24:12.791 --> 01:24:14.791
I've seen and heard it
myself.
01:24:14.875 --> 01:24:16.958
Oh, you have? The tell her
your darling Armando
01:24:17.166 --> 01:24:19.375
has been stealing from us
to pay off his gambling debts.
01:24:19.375 --> 01:24:20.500
You lie, dad!
01:24:20.708 --> 01:24:22.250
Carlos didn't throw him
in prison
01:24:22.458 --> 01:24:25.208
because he doesn't want
a bitter woman in his arms.
01:24:25.416 --> 01:24:26.541
He's too much of a man
01:24:26.791 --> 01:24:28.875
to settle for gratitude
or resignation.
01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:30.333
Why don't you
tell her yourself?
01:24:30.541 --> 01:24:33.541
I gave my word
I wouldn't say anything.
01:24:33.625 --> 01:24:35.416
And I'll honor it.
01:24:35.750 --> 01:24:37.291
You lie, dad!
01:24:37.750 --> 01:24:39.958
You told me yourself
he stole from you.
01:24:40.208 --> 01:24:43.375
If someone must leave
this house, it's me.
01:24:43.833 --> 01:24:47.041
To cover up my gambling
problems, I blamed Carlos.
01:24:47.791 --> 01:24:50.333
Thanks to him and his father,
I wasn't ruined.
01:24:50.458 --> 01:24:53.166
That's your problem.
Tell her yourself.
01:24:53.291 --> 01:24:57.250
Carlos didn't want to embarrass
a father before his daughter.
01:25:00.958 --> 01:25:02.500
Dad...
01:25:02.750 --> 01:25:06.666
If that's so, I'll tell her
when we're alone.
01:25:40.458 --> 01:25:43.416
Those are the men
Armando paid.
01:25:44.750 --> 01:25:46.708
Today is cleaning day.
01:25:46.833 --> 01:25:48.625
My men are on stand-by.
01:25:48.750 --> 01:25:51.041
There won't be a bone
left unbroken.
01:25:52.375 --> 01:25:54.000
Another double rum.
01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:06.750
And the lady? What will
she be having?
01:26:10.666 --> 01:26:12.083
Double rum.
01:26:12.291 --> 01:26:14.958
I always thought
you'd become our client.
01:26:25.291 --> 01:26:27.041
Shall we dance, babe?
01:26:27.333 --> 01:26:30.000
You're right on time, man,
because...
01:26:30.875 --> 01:26:32.625
show's about to start.
01:26:51.666 --> 01:26:53.000
Defend him! Defend him!
01:26:54.083 --> 01:26:56.291
Why are you so interested
in defending my husband?
01:26:56.583 --> 01:26:58.250
I'm not doing it for you.
01:26:58.458 --> 01:27:00.666
Do you think we don't know
you and Armando planned this?
01:27:00.750 --> 01:27:03.958
What's it to you,
you home-breaking bitch?
01:27:07.250 --> 01:27:09.916
Yes! You're
a home-breaking bitch!
01:27:36.500 --> 01:27:38.708
Don Rodolfo! Don Rodolfo!
01:27:38.791 --> 01:27:39.916
What is it?
01:27:40.041 --> 01:27:41.708
There's a brawl in the bar!
01:27:41.833 --> 01:27:43.708
You woke me up
to tell me that?
01:27:43.916 --> 01:27:45.583
There's one every night.
01:27:45.708 --> 01:27:47.583
This night it's different.
01:27:47.791 --> 01:27:50.000
Don Carlos and Miss Barbara
started it.
01:27:50.208 --> 01:27:52.458
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
01:28:05.291 --> 01:28:06.625
Listen.
01:28:06.708 --> 01:28:11.125
You're rather late to
your first serious skirmish.
01:28:12.125 --> 01:28:13.666
-Where's Barbara?
-Barbara?
01:28:13.875 --> 01:28:15.875
She probably left
with the other party.
01:28:19.750 --> 01:28:22.291
And don't you mess
with my husband!
01:28:43.083 --> 01:28:45.166
I hate you.
I hate you!
01:28:45.291 --> 01:28:47.583
So do I!
With all my heart!
01:29:23.833 --> 01:29:26.666
