I'm so happy for you.
With your problem, you were doomed
to be a spinster.
Dr. Hermo? An official diagnosis
for the annulment.
Please don't leave, I promise
to keep my distance.
Forgive me for this.
I was at the church, Sofía.
I know everything.
I want Mother to inherit it all.
The time has come for them to serve you.
Who is she? How do you know Diego?
Her name is Marta Santos.
She was the love of my life, Diego's wife.
He killed her in cold blood.
My name is Samuel Arriaga, now you know why I came here.
I love another man.
- Tell me who it is. - Or what?
You'll kill me like your first wife?
I'm Alicia's lover.
- Come closer. - Julio!
If he dies, I swear I'll kill you.
GRAND HOTEL
Maite, I didn't get the chance to thank you
for what you did when I was in jail.
I was just doing my job.
I'm glad you're alive.
Julio will be fine too.
He's strong.
He would never abandon Alicia. Never.
Yes...
He's a wonderful man.
Alicia is so lucky.
Are you all right?
Is something wrong?
It's nothing.
I understand if you'd rather not say.
We all have our secrets,
it's normal you want to keep them.
Besides, you hardly know me.
Julio always says I'm a good listener.
I fell in love with the wrong person.
I see...
Hence the tears.
I don't mean to be rude, but you and Belén...
She's not the right sort of woman for you.
Everyone says so.
When I was locked up
and thought I'd lost her,
I realised that she's everything to me.
I don't care what everyone else says.
My feelings are what matter.
That person...
you've fallen in love with...
Does he mean everything to you?
I don't...
I don't think so.
Sit on the bed.
It's a lot more comfortable.
Alicia...
let me out of here.
It doesn't make sense.
Funny, just what I thought when you locked me up.
I'm badly injured.
I think I have some broken ribs. I need a doctor.
First, let me leave.
You heard me.
Sign a document renouncing me and we'll both be free.
I can't lose you.
You can't lose what you never had me.
You ungrateful wretch!
Liar!
I treated you like a queen,
I gave you all I had in exchange for some affection.
I loved you like no one else has and this how you repay me!
- You don't know how to love. - And your waiter does?
This is just one of your whims, when you tire, you'll realise...
Alicia...
remember the other night when we made love?
That confirmed my--
Sign the document and you'll be free.
- I don't want to! - You'll never leave, then!
That isn't true.
Someone will notice I'm missing.
Sooner or later, they'll rescue me.
Only if someone wants to find you.
But you're alone.
I will never let you go.
You're mine, do you hear?
Mine!
You're mine!
Alicia?
Are you there, Alicia?
Gosh, you gave me a fright.
How did it go?
He'll sign eventually. He knows he has no other choice.
I better be going.
I have to draw up the document and...
Thanks for taking care of him.
Julio...
We'll be free at last.
You can't leave me now, you hear?
You can't leave me.
If you could hear me you'd know that...
Your wish is my command.
Julio!
Are you all right?
Takes more than a bullet to keep us apart.
- Careful, careful... - Sorry, sorry...
Sorry, sorry...
What is it?
It must be very serious.
The waiter released Alicia Alarcón and now I'm convinced
they have Adrián locked up.
If we free him, he'll kill her.
No, he didn't do it when he had her locked up.
They won't accuse him of Alicia's death
just like with Marta.
Samuel...
you know that I adored Marta,
but this is too complicated.
It's too late to back down now.
I've been waiting 12 years for this.
If he can't kill his true love,
he'll never have her.
- How? - A life sentence.
Alicia will be accused of attempted murder.
I'll make sure he accuses her.
How will you do all that?
With your help.
For now, don't leave this room.
No one must know you are here.
I worked all morning, I'm not doing more.
- This was my day off. - It's not my fault.
It's not ours either.
You organised the shifts.
I just copied what Doña Ángela did. I don't understand...
Clever clogs said being a housekeeper was a piece of cake.
- Don't talk to me-- - Stop it!
This is a kitchen, not a market.
You repeated the shifts. And you didn't include
the afternoons off.
Why haven't the flowers been changed in the hall?
I didn't have time...
No excuses. Carmen, Beatriz,
I want them colourful as usual.
Go back to your duties.
Natalia will let you know when the rota is ready.
You're not the housekeeper any more.
Not long ago,
at Don Javier's wedding,
you said I was the soul of the hotel.
I thought it was one of those silly things you say to make me laugh.
Now I realise that its soul
is the housekeeper, and that was what I was
for all these years.
Not just that.
You were a mother.
The best a son could ever have.
First, get rid of that mourning attire. Then we'll go shopping.
- A little later. - But Mother...
No, I have a headache.
You know the only cure is a nice long nap.
- Mother-- - I'll have a lie down.
We'll talk later.
Julio? But when...?
About an hour ago.
He feels much better.
I'm glad to hear it.
Do you have it?
All drawn up for you.
If he signs this sworn statement, you submit it to the bishopric
and your marriage is annulled.
Diego won't agree to it.
All that swine cares about is saving his own skin.
Right now he's at our mercy, isn't he?
I better leave you two alone.
Maite!
Thank you.
I just want you to be happy.
If it's with that numbskull, so be it!
Not a single phone call all day.
- Don't you think it's-- - It's marvellous.
Finally some peace and quiet.
We deserved it after all that commotion.
Yes, of course...
Some free time is always welcome.
So, all right?
How are things?
- Pardon me? - How are things?
How is life treating you? How are things at home?
Fine, I suppose.
Actually, no. Why try and deny it?
My wife complains I spend too much time
at the inn, I say you're demanding--
This is absurd!
Are you dead or what?
Sitting around doing nothing, no phone calls.
Don't you find it...
unbearable?
No.
Enjoy the quiet.
Don't you find it strange?
- What? - Doña Alicia's behaviour.
According to her, the trip was true.
Now her husband has vanished.
I haven't seen him. What about you?
And where is Mr. Olmedo?
She told us he was sick.
- A lie? - It's not the first time.
Those three are up to something.
Maybe you're bored, imagine things,
- and end up believing them. - Let's find out!
- Where are we going? - Besides, free time is not for me.
Hello.
What are you staring at?
You seem different.
How...
How do you feel?
Better.
Sorry if I haven't been myself.
I wasn't honest with you, darling.
I have a problem.
Sometimes I have outbursts.
Well, you saw one of them.
I become unstable sometimes.
Yes, I've noticed that.
It started during puberty.
I become obsessed for no reason and misinterpret things.
Imagine, I thought the friend you wanted me to meet
was a psychiatrist.
The things you come out with!
I hope it doesn't mean you stop loving me.
How could I?
Olmedo is not in his room and the staff haven't seen him.
It wasn't my imagination.
This is very fishy.
- Alicia. - He'll give in.
He has plenty of time to think.
He'll realise there is only one way out.
This is Detective Ayala, Mr. Murquía. I need to have a word.
- What shall we do? - Force the door, someone is inside.
- Should I do it? - Obviously, Hernando.
Detective, officer.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I thought I heard voices.
Yes, I was on the phone with a friend.
How may I help you?
How can I put this?
I understand that "instincts" can cloud your judgment,
but shouldn't you both be a bit more cautious?
Mr. Murquía could kill you.
What if he returns early?
Or does it not bother you?
- I told you that Julio is ill. - Yes, it's true.
However, if you were to see Mr. Olmedo...
Yes, Detective?
...please tell him not to act on his own.
I believe he is hiding information
without which I will be unable to protect either of you.
I will tell him that.
Thank you.
Anything else?
Yes, could you ask if he has my gun?
Your gun?
- You lost it? - The day Mr. Olmedo came to visit us.
I'm sure it has nothing to do
with your husband's sudden disappearance.
You know as well as we do
that Mr. Olmedo is, shall we say, impulsive.
You also know that he is no murderer.
I'm not surprised you lost your gun, officer.
Strange you didn't lose it before.
I'm sure you are busy
and I really must rest. Thank you.
Something is going on.
I don't doubt it. Ever seen those lovebirds together?
It would be stranger if nothing happened.
Pour me another brandy.
- We're about to close. - I said another one.
And fill it up this time.
Please, Alfredo...
It was nothing more than a scare.
Soon it will be like nothing happened.
I should go back to my room.
If anyone knew I was here...
I'd tell them the truth.
That you weren't just a mere waiter to me...
And that you are only one I should have shared this bed with.
You won't come into this room
as a waiter any more, it will be
as the person I love.
Just a minute, please.
I'll do that.
Thank you.
Just as well, I was ravenous.
If not, I'd have eaten you up.
Shush and eat your food.
Are you all right?
Julio...
Julio!
I'll fetch someone. I'll be right back.
Maite!
Open up, Maite!
Come on, Maite...
- What is it, dear? - Maite!
- Mother, it's Julio! - What happened?
It's Julio, I need help!
The wound is bleeding.
- What happened? - We were talking, he was fine.
- Then he coughed up blood. - Internal bleeding.
- What? - Don Jesús feared it could happen.
- How? - He studied at the military academy.
Now what?
Go and fetch him. I'll take care of Julio.
Move!
Don Jesús!
- Jesús! - What is it, Madam?
- It's Julio. - He's got worse.
- Has he come to? - No, he's still coughing.
The wound is next to an artery.
He may have blood in his lungs.
Press hard.
He lost a lot of blood.
Are you sure about this?
- Will he die? - We must stop the bleeding.
Let me do it.
What are you doing?
I need a flame to cauterise the vein.
No, it's dangerous to move him.
If not, he'll die.
We need to get him downstairs.
All right, everybody out!
- Madam-- - I said out!
Hurry.
Got it.
Hurry, there's no time to lose!
Are you sure about it?
Trust me. I'm your only hope now.
Keep the wound open.
I can't do both things.
A needle and thread.
- Disinfect them. - I'll go.
I'll come with you.
Will he be all right?
We will know tonight.
Shouldn't he have woken up by now?
He's alive, but I don't know when he will come to.
Sorry, I have to go.
We don't have a housekeeper, so I must be there to supervise.
He must not move.
He must rest as much as possible. Even if he wakes up.
If he does, let me know.
Wait a moment, Jesús.
I'm so grateful for what you did for Julio.
Thank you.
I don't know Espinosa as well as you do,
but he's a good lad.
He could be a maître d'.
A shame if the hotel had to manage without his talent.
Of course.
Everything will be fine.
Cisneros is lying.
What do you mean?
He wasn't alone in his room earlier.
There was a woman, the same one who kidnapped me.
Are you sure? That's a serious accusation.
I wasn't sure at the time,
but now I'm certain.
Then who...
is that man?
I want you to meet someone, Mother.
Pedro Herrera, Herrera Collections.
Herrera Collections? No, son.
I'm sure your wife prefers
this sort of thing.
You need dresses more suitable for a lady
and Don Pedro will help. We have a dinner party tonight.
We know where to start, then.
Marta! Claudia!
Goodness gracious.
Mother,
you look marvellous.
- Leave it there. - No!
- Laura, dearest. - Give it back.
You forgot Simoneta.
She took it off you.
Say something to her.
Don't be so silly.
Did you want to play, dear?
Take it and play with her as much as you like.
- Go on, a present. - No, I don't want to anymore.
I'm glad to see you're feeling better, dearest.
Here, Mother.
I'll freshen up and be right down.
Did you see that? I can't believe it.
Is she herself again?
Her illness doesn't turn her into someone else.
The medicine helps her not to become agitated.
It doesn't have to get worse.
I had no idea at all.
If I'd known...
Deep down, I know that you love her.
Just try and understand her illness,
like I did.
What can I get you, Ma'am?
A fruit salad, ham and eggs,
a croissant and black coffee.
Madam is hungry today.
No, I'll have a slice of toast.
It's for my husband,
he'll be down shortly.
Don Alfredo already had breakfast. I served him.
Will you be having toast, then?
No.
Don't pack the oils until she chooses which ones to take.
There you are, dearest.
Since you didn't tell them, I asked the maids to pack for you.
Anything the matter?
You look surprised.
Please leave us for a minute.
- I thought that after last night-- - It changes nothing.
Doesn't it?
- If it didn't mean anything, I'll go. - Very well.
We should be civilised and discreet.
I'll say that you've gone to Tuy to take the waters.
We'll break the news when the separation is official.
Are you agreeable?
Whatever you prefer.
Anything else or can I tell the maids to come in?
I'll be waiting for you at eleven.
If that woman was there, Cisneros is behind it all.
We can't look the other way.
If he's taking revenge on Diego, why get involved?
He's behind the bomb attack, your kidnapping.
He saved Julio's life. He didn't have to.
What does he want?
This is too risky.
- If we called Ayala-- - No! I don't want to.
All I want to do is leave here with Julio.
No looking back, no thinking of anyone else.
Look at him, Maite.
I'm to blame for this.
I have to make Diego sign this,
then I leave here with Julio.
You know I won't do it.
I'll never give you up.
Then you'll die here.
You wouldn't dare do that.
Just try me.
Things have changed.
You're lying.
If you don't sign them by tonight,
you'll see I'm telling the truth.
Don't get too close or in the light
and Adrián will think you're Alicia.
Shoot, but not to kill.
Jesús?
I need a word. Open the door, please.
I just wanted to thank you.
You were right about the bullet.
Yes, unfortunately.
It was anything but a peaceful night.
But it turned out fine.
If he had died my daughter would be destroyed.
All I want is to see her happy.
Although he's a humble waiter?
Are you the same woman I met when I arrived here?
What changed?
You saved me.
I had become cold, embittered. And what for?
To lose the hotel and have my children hate me.
You made me realise how wrong I was.
You helped me feel alive and be happy.
I can buy the hotel.
When I get Diego to sell it,
you can take your revenge.
What do you say?
Sounds like a perfect plan.
Sorry,
but I have to serve dinner.
Of course.
I love you.
First you save that lad,
now an affair with her. You've gone mad.
She found me out.
Don't worry, sister, it's all under control.
Best to have her on my side than ruin it all.
Are you sure that is all it is?
We you be able to do it after what she just promised you?
Of course.
Tonight we start to avenge Marta's death.
No one and no thing will stand in my way.
I see my daughter was here.
What is the sense of fighting a losing battle?
She doesn't love you.
She is my wife.
And you insist on her staying your wife.
If her heart belongs to another...
sign what she wants.
So she can leave me?
Go off with him?
No.
She won't be leaving, you will.
Luckily for you, I can buy back what you took from me by trickery.
And what makes you think I want to sell it to you, Madam?
You'll have enough money to make a new life somewhere else.
The way you did once before, Diego.
Or should I say Adrián?
Think about it.
You've always been a sensible man,
sign what Alicia asked you to.
- Mateo. - Yes, Sir?
The psychiatrist didn't reply, he must be on his way.
- Is there a message? - Yes.
His services are not required
- and I regret any inconvenience. - Yes, Sir.
Wait, let me help you, Madam.
Excuse me, which is Don Javier Alarcón's room?
Yes, Sir. Room 47.
Thank you.
- Madam. - Sir.
Oh, you are my husband's friend.
I saw you chatting to him.
I was feeling indisposed at the time. My name is Laura.
A pleasure,
but it would be inappropriate to introduce myself
as your husband's friend. I am Dr. Hermo,
Doctor of medicine.
Don Javier
called me as a psychiatrist, not as a friend.
Do you know where I could find him?
You can come back in a week.
Then we'll tell your family.
I'll leave here with Alejandro.
Are you sure this is the best for everyone?
I never thought something like this could happen to us.
Alfredo...
Look after the baby.
She's leaving...
