And if your wife finds out you had a child with me?
I want 10,000 pesetas. Tomorrow.
Isabel, there's someone else.
I know it's impossible, but I'm sorry, I can't.
Julio, you deserve to be happy. Give me a chance.
It's a title deed. Your father committed a swindle.
Gonzalo wanted this to clear his name. He had ample reason to kill your father.
If Alfredo were rich, he'd be a formidable opponent.
But without money or property he'll be easy to eliminate.
'The Marquis de Vergara ruined.'
Grand Hotel
'Don Alfredo de Vergara sells all his property and evicts his mother.
The Alarcóns make him director of the Grand Hotel out of charity.'
What's the matter?
Alfredo, wait.
With the Bear locked up, we won't have to go after smugglers for a while.
He has escaped.
Do you have the money? -No.
And you'll never get it, Belén.
You want Alicia and your mother to see the baby?
What baby?
'I know you're deceiving your husband. Stop seeing your lover or he'll find out.'
Darling.
I'm looking for Gonzalo. Have you seen him?
It's hard to say what anyone is doing at any time, isn't it?
Why do you need him?
I want to invite him to my nephew's baptism.
Let your sister do so, she's the mother. -But I'm his godmother.
I haven't seen him. And I'm afraid I have a small problem to resolve.
I hope it's nothing important. -I hope so too.
Diego is in our room. You keep it. I'll let you know when to return it.
I saw Gonzalo in the lounge.
I'll go and talk to him.
You don't have to. I know you esteem him.
Garrido, follow my wife. I want to know where she goes and whom she sees.
And for your own sake, be discreet. -Don't worry.
Alicia.
Sofía already told me about the baptism.
That's not why I'm here.
Is anything wrong? -I have the title deed to the mines.
I don't know what you're talking about. -I know you tried to steal it, Gonzalo.
It shows my father was the culprit, while yours was wrongly accused.
That's why you came to the hotel, right?
Is it strange that I want to clear my family's name?
When did you find out? -A while ago.
How long ago?
Was my father still alive? -He died shortly after.
Were you involved in his death? -Alicia, please. He was my uncle.
And he let your father die in prison. I can't believe you didn't do anything.
I didn't.
The day I found out, I talked to your father.
I told him I knew he'd made my father pay for the swindle.
How could you do that to my father, your own brother?
Gonzalo, we're not alone. -I don't care if the whole world hears.
Family matters are resolved within the family. This way leads to madness.
Your father also liked to shout. Look how he ended.
Because of you. -He knew what he got into.
He didn't know he'd end up in prison, alone.
He was my brother, I was powerless. -You could have accepted the blame.
The Alarcón family would have lost everything.
I did lose everything.
Your mother and you never lacked anything.
I don't want your help, I want justice. And I'll make sure the truth will out.
You have no proof. And without it you'll just seem a resentful lunatic.
Don't follow in your father's footsteps. Forget all this and I'll take care of you.
Never. You'll pay for what you did. If not in prison, with your own blood.
Throw him out. Never let him in again. -You won't get away with it.
I threatened him. I swore I'd take revenge, but I didn't.
Why should I believe you? My father died shortly after.
I was no longer here when he died. -Where were you?
I took the first train out of here. When I heard he died, I was already far away.
Alicia, I didn't do anything to your father, but your family ruined mine.
Give me the title deed. -It can cause my family a lot of harm.
The hotel is already in bad shape. -I won't use it against you.
I only want to clear my father's name. Alicia, please.
Isn't it a great day, Mateo? -It may rain soon, sir.
Even if the deluge came, it would still be a great day.
A telegram, for doña Adriana. -Thank you.
Bad news? -It's a telegram from my daughter.
Out of revenge, my husband washes his hands of her...
and has thrown her out. She has nowhere to go.
The hotel is big enough. She can stay with us.
Thank you. I knew you'd understand.
Doña Teresa. -You didn't leave as I suggested.
I'm sorry, but I'm a grownup.
And hard as it is for you to believe, so is your son.
How well you know him. I'd like to talk to you.
Go ahead, Mother. -In the office.
Why is she here? I thought she'd left. -She came back to stay here with me.
While she should go home to her husband.
You almost got yourself killed. Why do you insist?
Because I love Adriana. -What do you know about love?
She will teach me. I intend to make her my wife and stay with her forever.
Darling, you have no idea what 'forever' means.
You'll fall for another woman and leave her behind, humiliated, her life in ruins.
Let her go back to her husband, for her sake.
This time it's different, Mother. -Sure it is.
This is the first old enough to be your mother. You made her leave her family.
You're wrong, Mother.
She left her idiot husband, but her daughter is coming to stay with us.
And you'll be parenting her?
If parenting consists in shattering a child's illusions, it can't be hard.
You know nothing about life.
I don't care what you say or do. I'll stay with Adriana, no matter what.
Don Diego, your room... -Out of the way.
Where is my child?
Where is he? -What child are you talking about?
If you hurt him in any way, I swear... -What? What will you do to me?
He's your child as well.
I know you didn't hurt him. Tell me where he is.
That child has never existed.
Forget him. It's best for everyone.
Isabel, did you see don Javier go out? -No, why?
Never mind. Andrés, don't go in. -What's the matter?
Juan is sleeping. I'll watch him. -I'll just give him a kiss.
No. -Why not?
It took us a long time to get Juan to fall asleep. We don't want him to wake up.
Go back to work. -As you wish, Mother.
Go in.
Where's Juan?
I didn't say anything to Andrés, but I want to know the truth, Belén.
Where's my grandson? -I don't know.
They've taken him away. -Who?
His real father. -Tell me the father's name.
You don't know him. He's an important man who lives near the village.
I think he wants his son near him. -I'll go to the foundling home.
I already did, but no one has brought a baby there.
Who's the father? I'll go to his house. -He didn't take him there.
He's married. -What on earth did you do...
that made him come for the baby? -I don't know, doña Ángela.
I don't know. -You reap what you sow, Belén.
But Andrés must be spared such pain. We won't tell him anything for now.
And the baby?
Near the village lives a woman who passes foundlings on to other people.
What are you doing, Belén?
Where does she live?
Doña Ángela, since it recently happened to be your name day...
My God, Ernesto, not so formal. Let me start over.
Doña Ángela, I hope you don't think it's frivolous...
but while in the village I recalled that it was your name day recently.
Do as I told you, Belén. Quickly. -Yes, madam.
Doña Ángela, do you have a moment? -I'm busy. Resolve it yourself.
It seems nothing gets done at this hotel without asking me.
How are you, Julio? -Fine.
Tomorrow evening after work we're going to the season fair.
There will be music, and I know you like to dance.
Will you give it to him? -I don't know.
Gonzalo sounded sincere and the staff confirmed his account.
But he lied to me before in order to get this.
I wasn't referring to your cousin, but to Agent Ayala. He asked us to find it.
We should give it to him. -He'll immediately suspect Gonzalo.
If you're sure he's innocent, you needn't worry.
I'm finding out my father was a ruthless man...
not the kind and honest father I remember.
So believe me, right now I'm not sure about anything.
Let's check your cousin's story. -How?
If he stayed in the village, he must have stayed at Paquita's pension.
This photo of Gonzalo may come in handy.
Is anything wrong, Garrido? -No, madam.
I was going down the hallway and thought I heard someone.
I was giving this waiter instructions for breakfast.
Is there anything else? -No, madam. Forgive me.
For once I'm glad that waiters are treated like furniture here.
I'm going to the village. -I'll go with you.
Isabel, is anything the matter? -No, madam. I came for the flowers.
I'll be outside, if you need anything. -Very well.
Thank you.
Can I do anything for you, madam? You seem worried.
No. No, I'm not.
You can tell me anything. You know you can trust me.
I know, Isabel. Thank you.
I'm sorry.
You can't come. I'll go by myself. -Alone?
I'll be fine. Forgive me. -Don't worry about it.
Excuse me.
What are you doing here? -Perhaps you can help me.
Do you recognize this man? -How could I forget such a decent man.
Don Ramiro. -No, this is Gonzalo, my cousin.
No, don Ramiro.
Are you sure? -Yes, the same name as my late father.
Is don Ramiro the man in this photo? -Absolutely.
Look, here it is: Don Ramiro Gutiérrez. -Can you tell me when he stayed here?
From the 8th to the 10th of February, last year.
Is anything the matter, madam? -It's just that my father died on the 9th.
But don't worry, you've been of great help. Thank you.
I heard voices.
Don't worry, it wasn't the police.
Who was it? -Señora de Murquía.
You think Bear killed him? -He was from Bear's gang.
He was going to testify against him. He's out for revenge.
If we caught him, it was thanks to... -Julio and Alicia.
I'll go and warn them. Take care of the body.
Ayala, shouldn't I give that order? -You know I hate long walks.
I'm sure Belén and my mother are hiding something from me.
Julio.
What can I do for you, agent? -I come to warn you and doña Alicia.
Alicia has gone to Cantaloa.
Good day. -Good day.
Run, madam.
Let go of me. -It's me.
This way, Mr Garrido. -Hide.
Here is señora Murquía. -Are you alright, doña Alicia?
Yes. Thank you, Garrido, you saved my life.
It's my duty, madam. I'll escort you back to the hotel.
I'm sorry, I'd like to question her. -But the señora...
Don't worry, one of my men will accompany her to the hotel.
Why is Garrido following you? -I don't know, but we must be careful.
So your cousin stayed in Cantaloa.
Yes, under a false name. And you don't need to ask.
He was here the day my father died. -What more do you need to know?
I can't believe my cousin is a murderer.
If he's innocent, he won't mind explaining. Or maybe he's lying.
When you were accused of something you hadn't done, I trusted you, didn't I?
Now it's your turn to trust me.
I'm not talking about having him convicted, but to ask Ayala for help.
He trusted us, and I don't want to deceive him.
Give me time. -Why?
Your cousin lied to you before and will do so again.
Ayala will know how to question him.
If you're so sure, why have you come with me?
While Bear is free, I won't let you walk around alone.
Let's go, it looks like rain is coming.
It's only been two weeks but I can't wait to see my daughter.
My child. -Your daughter?
Mother, I've missed you so much. I have a lot to tell you.
I went shopping in Madrid. I've brought you a wonderful necklace.
Elena, my dear, this is Javier, the man I told you about.
Elena, it may seem strange, but I love your mother and...
Thank you. Thank you for making my mother this happy.
I know you'll get along splendidly. -I'm sure we will.
Isn't she an angel? -Only the wings are missing.
I'm going upstairs to change and put away your baggage.
Do you mind showing her the hotel? -Of course not, my dear.
Let's go. I want to see every corner of this hotel.
Sweetheart, what's the matter?
What did your mother want? -She won't come to the baptism.
After what I've done to her, she doesn't want to cause any conflict.
Maybe it's because there will be no nobility.
What's wrong with him? -I think he's hungry.
Belén hasn't come yet.
What does that mean? Nursing Alejandro is her only job.
A bath will do him well. Prepare one.
Mind the water, while I undress him. -Don't bother, don Alfredo.
It's not a bother. I don't get to spend much time with my son.
He has a scratch. What happened?
His nails are so sharp he cut himself. -Really?
Careful with those little hands.
Mother, Juanito isn't in our room. -Don't worry, he must be with Belén.
I can't find Belén either. Don Ernesto says she went out.
Mother.
-Ángela, have you seen Belén?
Don't tell me you don't know the whereabouts of one your maids.
It would be the first time. -Belén went out.
What do you mean? She can't just leave like that.
I'm sorry, I needed some medicines and sent her to the apothecary.
Did it have to be Belén? That maid's only priority is to nurse my grandson.
I would have expected you to be wiser at assigning tasks to the maids.
I'm sorry, madam. I should learn from your example...
and how you always choose the maid who best satisfies your needs.
If there's anything I can't stand, it's mistakes...
and lack of respect. -I know, madam.
When Belén comes back, send her up. -I will, madam.
Why didn't you tell me Belén went out? -So as not to worry you.
The child didn't look well. She took him out for some fresh air.
It's not a good day to go out. It may start to rain.
Aren't you hiding something from me? -Why would I?
You never protect Belén from doña Teresa.
I didn't do it for Belén, but for your baby.
What do you want? -I come to get the baby from the hotel.
What baby? -The one brought by señor Murquía.
I'm in a hurry, don't waste my time. -There's no baby here.
Now if you'll excuse me.
Quiet. -What are you doing?
Shout and I'll cut your throat.
Give me my child. Give him to me.
If señor Murquía asks you, tell him you handed him over as agreed.
And if you come near my baby again, I swear I'll kill you.
The path is here somewhere, Juanito. Don't worry.
Diego. -My love, how are you?
Why is Garrido following me?
A thief has been seen roaming around. I told him to protect you. Where is he?
At the station. They're taking his statement.
Why? What happened? -He saved me from an attack.
Alicia, are you alright? I'm glad I took measures, my dear.
Yes. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get changed. I'm soaked.
You stayed, under a false name. -Alicia, don't believe that woman.
She has no reason to lie, but you do.
What did you do to my father?
Gonzalo, tell me.
I couldn't leave and go home as if nothing had happened.
What did you do? -I had to get my due.
Yes, I stayed in the village, not just to recover that document.
I was furious and wanted revenge. I didn't think justice would be done.
I got a room at the pension under a false name and procured a gun.
Did anything happen? -Don Carlos is dead.
Don Diego has asked me to assemble the staff.
Death, or someone, had gotten a jump on my plans.
And I was standing there with a gun, instead of being on my way home.
I ran out.
I kept having the feeling that I was being followed. I was afraid, Alicia.
I had to flee the village, but first I had to get rid of that gun.
I never told this to anyone.
You'll understand why.
If what you say is true, you should tell the police.
Are you crazy? I threatened your father, pretended to leave...
and bought a gun. I'd incriminate myself.
Continuing to lie won't help you.
Confessing that I wanted to kill my uncle won't either.
I'd like to believe you, Gonzalo, but I don't know what to think.
Ayala will find out sooner or later. It's up to you.
I'm sorry I got you into this, Alicia.
My wife told me what happened. -I saved her from that criminal.
That's your job, Garrido.
Did you see her with a man?
Yes, with her cousin, in the restaurant.
This lady deserves the best service. -Of course, don Diego.
Go spend some time with your wife. -Yes, sir.
On rainy days like this there's no better place than inside this hotel.
This will make you feel even better. -How gallant you are, don Diego.
Ludivilla, do you think I could make a living as a waiter, should all else fail?
You won't need to. You're an Alarcón. The Alarcóns have always done well.
Well, not always. You know how don Ricardo ended.
A tragedy.
At least don Gonzalo has chosen the right path. What was he like as a boy?
He was such a bright and clever boy. He came to the hotel a lot.
It seems he gets along well with his cousins, especially with Alicia.
They were a wonderful couple.
Forgive me. -Don't worry about it.
When the families fell out, they had to separate.
Which I'm very happy about, for my stake in it.
You don't have to worry about don Gonzalo.
What you've told us raises suspicions about don Gonzalo.
Let me remind you that officially, don Carlos Alarcón died of natural causes.
We can't adduce the arsenic. -Is there nothing you can do?
Judge Barrera is always reluctant to act against doña Teresa...
but this concerns don Gonzalo, who isn't much liked by our friend.
You think it will help?
That and the document you and doña Alicia recuperated.
I told you we don't have it.
Mr Olmedo, what else would you and doña Alicia have been searching for?
I'm sure it's the document don Gonzalo saw...
and doña Alicia's absence tells me she's against denouncing her cousin.
Am I right? -I prefer not to respond.
Get me that document. It will aid my investigation...
and convince the judge. -Will he allow it?
Even Judge Barrera had to admit that it was very strange...
that they tried to steal don Carlos's corpse just as we wanted to exhume it.
I don't think he'll risk losing his position protecting don Gonzalo.
So you're going to arrest Gonzalo?
I'll detain him for a few hours to question him and look for clues.
If my superior approves. -What did you say?
I said, if you approve.
If you're sure about it, yes. -Then let's go.
Where? -To look for don Gonzalo.
Ayala has arrested your cousin. But only to talk to him.
Gonzalo was about to leave Cantaloa. Someone must have warned him.
I talked to him. -What did he tell you?
He wanted to kill my father and even bought a gun, but in the end he didn't.
This time I believe him.
He didn't kill him because he was already dead. That hardly excuses him.
It's not easy to move from intention to action, as you well know yourself.
You wanted to kill Alfredo, but in the end you didn't.
You know why not? Because you're a good person, and not a murderer.
And so is Gonzalo.
Moreover, my father was poisoned. Gonzalo had a gun, so he's innocent.
I have to find that gun, to show he speaks the truth.
He hid it a year ago. It may no longer be at the pension.
In any case, let me tell agent Ayala. -No, Julio, he's my cousin.
I want to know before anyone else. Promise me you'll wait.
Julio, give me your word.
You have my word. But don't take any action by yourself.
You saw how dangerous it is to go to Cantaloa.
I have to go to the baptism.
We'll meet this evening after the celebration, in the meter room.
This is fine for the side tables, not for the centre table.
If only the rain doesn't ruin it. -Don't worry, it'll stop soon.
Diego, you look distraught. Are you alright?
Not really, doña Teresa. Ayala just told me he's arrested your nephew.
Arrested him? What for? -I don't know. There must be a reason.
If you'll excuse me, I'll get changed. -Of course, darling.
Diego, is anything wrong between you and Alicia?
Are you sure? -Her concern for her cousin alarms me.
That's all water under the bridge.
I'm alarmed by Gonzalo's current intentions.
Did you recover the title deed? -I can't find it anywhere.
He must have hidden it. Let Garrido search the hotel.
Garrido is busy with other things. -Let him do this first.
Doña Ángela, seeing that you're resting...
Resting? Do you think the fact that I'm sitting down means I'm resting?
It's a very suitable position to rest in.
I don't have your luck, don Ernesto. I never rest.
And I'm sure that if I did, this hotel would go to pieces.
Now if you'll excuse me, and I don't care if you don't, I have things to do.
You're absolutely right. I understand. -Very well.
Doña Ángela.
The baby. He's freezing. -I got lost in the rain. It took ages.
Here, dry him and change his clothes before he falls ill.
Go on, there's no one out there.
Come, sweetheart, you'll see you'll soon be warm again. Come, Juanito.
Come, my love.
Belén, what are you and my mother up to?
Don't tell me you got him soaked. He's only a baby.
I know that. And he needs you now. -He's freezing.
Please, go find a doctor. Run.
What name have you chosen for this child?
Alejandro Carlos de Samaniego y Ruiz Alarcón.
Alejandro Carlos de Samaniego y Ruiz Alarcón...
I baptize you in name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
As godparents you are to assist in the Christian upbringing of your godchild...
so the child will come to know Jesus and live a life of profound faith.
