I'm very happy for you, my dear.
We both know that, with your problem,
you would always have been a spinster.
Don't leave and I promise I will keep my distance.
Forgive me for what I am about to do.
Doña Teresa...
You're drunk!
All I know is I took Belén there by force.
I have killed my wife, detective.
Either he is a lot shrewder than us
or he is getting doubtful evidence.
- How long has it been? - A couple of weeks.
I want to buy the Grand Hotel.
She is the woman that I would kiss.
Don't worry, ma'am.
Is there something wrong?
No, Ángela, everything is fine.
I saw you.
What would happen if the judge finds out?
I have only asked that you help my son.
And I refuse to do so.
GRAND HOTEL
What do you want, ma'am?
I see you cannot sleep either.
I doubt that your reasons for not sleeping are the same as mine.
I am not as heartless as you think. I also worry about your son.
That is a lie.
Alicia asked you to help Andrés and you refused.
You only worry about yourself.
You on the other hand are kind, unselfish and noble...
- I have never thought so. - No?
Not even when you were kind enough to get in my husband's bed?
Or when you let him get you pregnant not once, but twice?
Why are you here? To tell me I am worse than you?
You're not better than me.
My hands do not have blood on them.
They will be now.
And that of your own son.
- Shut up! - The truth hurts.
You have put hurting me first... without thinking about him.
I said shut up. I cannot do anything to save my son.
But I can.
In exchange of something, obviously.
Think very well about what you want to say to that judge.
I give you my word that I will do everything in my power
to save your son.
Your word is worth nothing.
You will have to trust me.
No.
I want you to sign a confession.
What?
I want you to write down that you were behind miss Velledur's murder.
If Andrés dies, I will make the confession public.
If you save him, no one will ever find out about it.
Now you are showing your true colours.
Do you really think I will sign such a thing?
Your future is linked to my son's. It's your choice:
freedom or death for both.
Give me paper and a quill.
- That is illegal! - Don't shout at me, Hernando.
You have asked for Chief Inspector Bazán's file to be sent from Madrid.
You're investigating him. That is illegal, you said so yourself.
But it is not unlawful.
Don't try to confuse me.
There is nothing wrong
with the Chief Inspector requesting his file.
But why would Bazán request his own file?
My God Hernando, it's obvious that he didn't.
I did, in his name.
But that is even more illegal!
Sentencing an innocent man is also. And if we let that happen,
that will not only be on our file. It will also be on our conscience.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work to do.
Done.
You haven't signed it.
Here.
I hope you keep our agreement.
I am not like you, Doña Teresa. That is why I want you to know
that if anything happens to me or I find out you're planning something,
this paper will be made public. Do you understand?
Deep down, you have always been very insolent.
It's called dignity, but that is something you lost a long time ago.
Good night.
Jesús?
Rosa!
Your admirer is here again.
It's that weird guy...
What are you doing?
No!
Please, stop.
I want you to put this on.
Why don't you give me one of these dresses?
Sit down.
You look a lot like her.
Then why do you never touch me?
Can I have one?
I don't know what's wrong with Alicia.
She has hardly left her room and she hasn't even spoken to me.
That makes two of us. I went to speak to her this afternoon
and she hardly said a word.
Then Diego arrived...
What does it matter anyway?
When a woman doesn't want to talk...
That's the problem with men, you think all women are the same.
- I didn't say that. - But you think it.
You do women always get so defensive?
If you have come for answers, I don't have any.
And if you have come to help me, you're not doing a good job.
I have come to smoke a cigarette. But there are better places to do so.
Maite, forgive me.
Do you know what your problem is?
You're selfish.
Alicia isn't doing this because she is a woman.
She is doing it because she is suffering, like we all are.
And if you stopped worrying about how you feel
and you thought about others...
you would learn a lot.
I need you to help me prove Laura is crazy.
- Javier, what is wrong with you? - I want an annulment of my marriage.
You have just got married!
But she is crazy!
You should feel ashamed.
What's wrong? Are you bored already?
No, no, no. You have to believe me.
Laura...
Well...
Laura talks to a doll.
They tell each other everything. She walks her and bathes her,
as if she were our daughter.
Don't talk nonsense.
Her name is Simoneta.
She scares me sometimes.
- Simoneta? - No, not Simoneta.
Well, yes, a bit. I mean my wife.
I can't have a serious conversation with her. My nerves are shot.
I never know what she is going to do next!
- Are you talking about me, darling? - Me?
Yes, my brother was just saying that he worries you feel alone here.
I thought I wouldn't be able to live away from Santander.
It is hard to leave everything behind, my family, my friends...
But I understand the family's problems and those of the hotel.
I now know my place is here, with Javier.
Javier, how have you come down dressed like that?
Look at you, you look like a mess!
Sofia, my apologies, I am not used to...
Please go and sort yourself out.
Come on, honey-bug.
I think the only crazy one here is you. Your wife is right,
this is not the family's best time, so stop talking nonsense.
I appreciate your visit, Governor.
It is my pleasure, Mrs. Alarcón.
I imagine you know why I have invited you.
My family is not going through a good time.
You knew my husband
and the Alarcón family name has done a lot for this region.
Your husband was always a practical man.
Yes, he always knew how to help friends
and to return favours.
And that is why I need you to intercede in Andrés Alarcón's case,
you are the regional Governor
and I'm sure you can influence the sentence.
And save that boy's life.
He is an Alarcón, at the end of the day.
The hotel is important of course, but the family name...
I'm afraid the family name is no longer so.
What do you mean?
Mrs. Alarcón, times change and we now have better sponsors.
I understand that the hotel no longer belongs to you,
and the new owner has been sending me incentives for some time.
Are you referring to Mr. Murquía?
You, more than anybody know that we have to be practical,
it's survival.
Don Diego has been very convincing.
- You do not seem to have his favour. - Governor--
I'm sorry my lady, but I cannot do as you request.
Not this one, or any others.
Don Diego made that very clear.
If you'll excuse me...
You are wretched!
I see you have also lost your manners...
You have decided to ruin my life and will not stop until you have done so.
I don't know what you're talking about, but your answer is "yes".
I have just spoken to the Governor.
So that is it.
That's it.
You have finally found out that your time is over.
If you think you are going to get away with this, you're mistaken.
I will not allow...
It is I who is not going to allow that you come in here and threaten me.
Threatening is the least that I can do. I am going to take away everything
you have achieved, and I will not stop until you are left with nothing.
I am fed up with you. Leave.
I should have listened to my husband and never allowed you to marry Alicia.
You don't know how much I regret letting my daughter marry a bastard like you.
I am asking nicely...
Do you know what makes me feel better?
Knowing that she will never love you.
I'm telling you to leave! Get out of here!
Or what? Are you going to hit me? Like you do with her?
If you think that, why did you never do anything to stop it?
Enjoy your moment of glory, because you are about to lose it.
No doubt about it.
So now you spy on other peoples conversations?
I want to know what is going to happen with my son.
I am going to the judge's office,
but first I would like to know if you have spoken to who you had to speak to.
The Governor has promised to intercede before the judge. Your son will not die.
I hope so, for my son's good and for yours.
Cynicism... I thought you would be happier.
I will be when my son is out of that prison alive.
How are you?
How is everything at the hotel? How is Alicia?
I wish I knew. She doesn't tell me anything lately.
You will sort it out. You always do.
I hope so.
Lately I feel like women just make things more complicated.
But you already know that.
I had a strange dream the other night about your friend Maite.
She is a... strange woman.
She is beautiful, isn't she?
I didn't mean that, come on!
You say it as if it were wrong.
I appreciate all what she has done for me.
We have to try even though it won't help.
Don't say things like that, you hear me?
Your time is up!
Sure.
I don't want to hear you say that.
Andrés...
I'm going to get you out of here.
You have to leave. Come on.
Yes, yes...
We have looked everywhere for you. Where were you?
I went to see Andrés.
How is he?
Not good.
Every time I see him there, it kills me.
I'm not going to let them sentence him.
We are not going to. We know that Bazán is no good.
So we have to speak to Ayala.
No, we have to go to the inn and look in his bedroom.
That man is hiding something, and I'm sure that, whatever it is,
- it is in his room. - Alright.
We will meet on the road that leads to the inn in a few hours.
Done.
I don't know if I can make it.
Diego is watching me very closely.
I don't know if I can get rid of him.
Since when does he care about what you do?
- Did something happen? - No.
It's just that I can't do whatever I want without giving a plausible excuse.
Well, you will have one.
Since I arrived, I have not had the chance of visiting the old town.
And I will need somebody to guide me.
Don't worry, Diego won't be a problem. I'll see you there.
Good morning Sofía. Is my son not with you?
- No. - You should have breakfast together,
otherwise people will think something is wrong.
Why don't you tell him to come down?
And why don't you tell him? I have to speak to my mother.
I have to get her out of here. It's like having a spy around.
Why is she here?
I don't know. Perhaps to judge my marriage, as always.
Are you listening mother?
- Is everything fine, ma'am? - No, Jesús, it isn't.
I'm sorry to hear that. Tell me, what is wrong?
That does not concern you.
Or maybe it does.
I was looking for you the other night for something important
and I couldn't find you.
I had to reorganise the shifts.
Without my consent? And where were you?
Mother...
Don't worry, ma'am.
I was in my bedroom.
I didn't think I had to consult you
to see if it were an adequate place to be.
Don't be impertinent.
Excuse me, that was not my intention.
Leave.
- I don't think-- - Are you going to tell me
how I should treat the staff of this hotel?
I'm leaving. I have more important things to do.
And don't get so worked up. I think you are smart enough
to deal with that woman. And with your husband if you need to.
It wouldn't be the first time Alfredo throws her out of the Grand Hotel.
I hope you have something Hernando, I can't take any more.
Aside the fact that Bazán's service sheet is cleaner than yours...
No, that's no help at all. We want the exact opposite.
Something that directly links him to Belén Martín.
I don't know. Evidence of some kind.
Well, unless you want to search his house...
Because there's nothing here.
Hernando,
I always say you never stop surprising me and usually that's not good.
What are you talking about?
Bazán is staying in the Cantaloa Inn, right?
Yes, why?
Because that is where we are going to go.
When we leave the judge's office.
We have to assist to Doña Angela's declaration on Celia Velledur's case.
But you declared differently at the station!
You said miss Velledur
left the hotel at half past ten at night and not at eight as you are saying now!
You also said you heard a conversation between Doña Teresa Alarcón and a man
speaking about miss Velledur!
It wasn't that day, it was later, when we knew of the death of Doña Celia.
Mrs. Alarcón wanted that man to take care that the death
did not affect the hotel.
Madam, are you saying that you didn't hear Doña Teresa order
Miss Velledur's death on the day she was murdered.
No, of course not.
The detective must have misunderstood me when I spoke to him.
Or maybe I didn't express myself properly.
Hernando.
And this purse?
Are you going to tell me you didn't find this
in Doña Teresa's room?
Of course I did. It's hers.
Your Honour...
the witness has changed her statement, and I would like to know why.
Detective, do you have a signed statement?
Because no statement is valid if it is not signed.
I know, Your Honour.
I don't have one.
- I have no more questions. - I do.
As the family Velledur's lawyer, I have some questions for the witness.
Inspector Ayala says you changed your statement.
What I have said here is true. I may have been confused earlier.
This is, in fact, not the first time. You were confused at work as well.
Memory loss, forgetfulness, am I right?
- Your Honour... - Your Honour, please.
This woman has changed her statement that accused Mrs. Alarcón of murder.
She has a history of mental instability, and faced with the evidence,
I request for her to be removed as witness.
It seems that your statement is worthless. The case was supposed to close.
I did as I promised.
You have been laughed at and that was not what you promised.
I am still accused and I want that confession. There is no more deal.
You will have it when my son is safe.
You said the Governor was going to intercede and everything will be okay.
Because we don't have anything to worry about, correct?
Thank God.
Son, all marriages go through bad times--
Mother...
A good wife should be prudent and not fuss over certain things.
Especially if the husband has done nothing wrong.
I think Sofía is acting like this because she wants
to make you feel guilty, but the only guilty one here--
But what do you know?
Who do you think you are,
coming here and judging me?
If I'm a good wife, if I'm not...
My God, you have done this from the beginning, getting involved
and judging me and I have had to put up with it. But that's over.
Sofía, I need to talk to you.
I only wanted to speak to Sofía but...
I'll go and find her. Excuse me.
Mother, why do you have to get involved?
And where is she going in such a hurry?
To the church, for God sake.
She spends time at the church helping.
There is a meeting today to organise clothes for the orphans.
That's what she says...
Mother, stop it! I will look out for my marriage.
I knew you would come. I was waiting for you.
Have you thought about it?
I have prayed.
I can get money.
I will get my son and we can leave.
It's so quick. What haste do we have?
But, my love...
We have to do things properly.
I can't take any more.
Has something happened?
My mother-in-law is here.
And Alfredo is trying...
to make things right.
What are you saying? That this changes things?
No.
It's just we have to go as soon as possible.
As far as possible.
He is in room three.
Wait. Take this to Mr. Bazán. He is in room four.
Wasn't he in room three?
Is it so difficult to take there a letter?
He has two rooms.
Number three and number four.
The key to number four isn't here.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Olmedo! What are you doing here?
What are you looking for?
I can't hear you.
Don't you have anything to say?
- What are you doing? - Maite!
Ayala, just in time.
Anyone would think you were following me.
Our lawyer has stepped over to the other side of the law.
I have found her breaking and entering.
It is lucky you got here in time, don't you think?
- What have you done to her? - No. What was she doing here?
And what are you doing here?
We heard a scream.
Of course. And you just happened to be passing by, right?
Ayala?
Why did you scream, Miss Ribelles?
I thought he was going to hurt me.
What I should do is arrest you.
Do you really want me to arrest her?
Shall we open an investigation on this, sir?
Get out!
All of you.
Yes, sir. Come on.
I told you not to do anything, that it is illegal.
- But it could be legitimate. - Hernando is right about that.
And we didn't even find anything.
Well, we have this.
I found it in a drawer. I thought it was strange
to see among a man's belongings. And I took it.
I've seen that before.
Is it Belén's?
No. It belongs to the girl from the inn, the one who gave me the letter.
- Are you sure? - Completely.
That girl disappeared shortly after you spoke to her in the inn.
What?
Nobody has seen her since.
Well...
I suspect we have seen her,
on the autopsy table at the station.
What?
Are you saying that the body they identified
as Belén's is really that girl's?
I am beginning to think it is more than just a possibility.
You proved that the body couldn't belong to Belén Martín,
even though Bazán managed to keep that from the judge.
This necklace can link Bazán to the death of that girl.
That man is more dangerous than we first thought.
He is capable of killing to incriminate Andrés.
But why?
I think I know why, but...
Now we have to link that girl with the body
that was found and falsely identified.
And we may be able to save Andrés.
Maybe.
Even if that means accusing Bazán of murder...
Boy! Since when are these pamphlets here?
Since this morning, Father Grau left them there.
But it says here that the meeting for the orphans clothes is tomorrow.
- Yes, ma'am. - I thought it was today.
No, ma'am. Look at the date.
Besides, Father Grau insisted
that I remind some of the ladies who wanted to assist.
Right.
Give me the key to my sons' room. I left my fan in there.
Of course, ma'am.
Sofía, wait! I have to talk to you.
Javier, I haven't got time right now.
Sofía, please. You have to help me with Laura.
Again with the same thing? No! I will not help you.
I saw you kissing Father Grau.
I saw you, Sofía.
In the church.
Do you think this is normal?
Javier, I only see a doll in a buggy.
Yes, but she plays with her, speaks to her.
I also played with dolls when I was a girl.
You said it, when you were a girl. Laura is a grown woman.
I know it is not usual but, I don't know, maybe the doll is her entertainment
here at the hotel. I don't think it's that serious.
Of course, my wife is as mad as a hatter and you don't think it's serious.
I'm the one who must be with her until death do us part...
Although I don't know why I thought you would support me.
After what I saw in the church, I don't know which of you is crazier.
Javier, we have agreed that what happens between Father Grau and I is up to me.
I don't want to hear you mention it again.
Fine, I won't. But you have to help me with this.
Just promise you won't tell anyone.
Hello, Sofía. What are you doing here?
Hello. I came to invite you to lunch.
I have seen your doll.
She is very pretty. Is she made of porcelain?
Simoneta.
What?
She is not a doll.
She is Simoneta. Let me introduce you.
This is Sofía. Hello, Sofía!
- Isn't she pretty? - She is!
Hello, Simoneta.
Dear friend, let me call you such.
I cannot accept the idea of you leaving
now that I know you do so to avoid me.
You fear that that kiss
is the start of a forbidden love that is inconvenient for us.
You can stop fearing, I beg you stay.
I am willing to shut out my feelings
and hope they stop torturing me.
I promise you, but please, don't leave,
don't sacrifice your life
for something that I promise will not happen.
Always yours, Sofía.
I have told you to not get involved. I am perfectly capable of...
She is betraying you, son.
What?
You wife is seeing another man. And by what is written,
it is more than just an affair.
Where did you get this?
That doesn't matter. You have to find out who it is.
I have no idea. She has kissed another man.
The kiss is not important. What is important is who it is.
The letter speaks of a kiss... and him leaving...
Why are you so untrusting?
Why are you so naive? Let me help you find out.
If you don't know who it can be, at least think who she could have told.
Leave me alone, mother.
You said she spends a lot of time with the priest.
He must know.
Maybe Sofía told him in confession.
Sure...
And you think Father Grau is going to break a confession?
He won't tell you, but maybe I can find a way for him to tell me.
Come in.
Don Diego, a woman has left the hotel without paying.
Do you know who?
Marta Santos.
Here is the register.
Who was with her? Did Mateo register her?
Yes, although I took her to her room.
- You saw her? - Correct.
Could you describe her, Jesús?
Of course, sir.
Medium height, brown hair, pulled back,
a mole here between her nose and lip.
Don Diego, would you like me to call security?
No, don't worry. I will do it.
