The night doña Beatriz was killed you argued with her.
I'm only trying to find out where you were that night.
Someone left a note for you.
'Do you really want to be the gold-knife killer?'
This time the full moon is only a coincidence.
I've learned my lesson. I've decided to join the army.
We heard shooting and shouting at the south gate.
When we arrived, it was too late.
I've never felt more proud of one of my men.
We'll get the document, don't worry. Belén knows the hotel well.
My trap requires a good bait. Diego has to believe it.
What are you going to do? Kill me?
I want an explanation, Ángela.
Did Ángel kill my father? -No, he didn't kill him.
Appearances suggest otherwise.
Where can I go? I have no money. -I'll get you money.
Grand Hotel
Ángela?
Niña.
Won't you give your sister a hug?
This is Francisco, my husband.
He died three weeks ago. Tuberculosis.
We spent the little money we had on doctors' bills and the sanatorium, but...
I'm very sorry, Violetta.
Ángela.
I need work, that's why I'm here. -What can you do?
Anything. I'm at home in the kitchen, but I won't refuse anything.
At best you can make beds and clean. -Yes, thank you, Ángela.
I'll talk to doña Teresa when I have a chance.
Now I have to go. Wait for me here. -Yes.
Mother, I was looking for you. -Mother? Don't tell me this is Andrés.
The last time I saw him was at his First Communion.
This is your aunt Violetta. What is it?
Doña Teresa needs you. It seems money was stolen.
I know you didn't steal the money.
Thank you. -But it was in your care.
That's why I want you to help me and tell me whom of the staff you suspect.
Natalia Blanco. -No, she's chatty and lazy, but honest.
If she'd done it, I'd have noticed.
Águila García. -No, not her.
María Ruíz? -No.
If those pigeons were Moors, you'd be dead now. You must improve your aim.
What are you doing? Are you crazy? Many recruits turn deaf that way.
You don't want to be dishonourably discharged.
What did you say? -I said you...
Don't you hear me? Javier, don't you hear me?
All I hear is ringing. Are you saying anything?
What a misfortune. Let's go back to the hotel. To the...
Here. Let's go. Let's go.
Don't you hear anything?
Only staff can come here. -I see.
I'm...
I'm waiting for the housekeeper. Can you tell her?
Of course.
Thank you.
Is that all? You just go like this and the light turns on?
You should see it in the evening. It looks just like if it were daytime.
You don't have to put oil in it? -It runs on electricity, behind the walls.
Have you seen your mother? -Doña Teresa called for her. Why?
A man is waiting for her outside.
Violet... Aunt, I'm going to see what this man wants.
Did you ask for Ángela?
Why did you come back? You want to kill me, right?
Let go, I won't hurt you. -Why should I believe you?
I'd have done so already.
Did you come to kill my mother? -No.
I won't let you get away. I'll scream for help. Help.
The money was stolen from the silver room.
That's all we know, sir. I'm sorry.
Help. -Is something happening? Diego?
Go back to work.
What happened? -I don't know.
You're insane.
So tell me why you're here. -I'm your brother.
I was born just after my parents were married, and you are older.
That man wasn't your father.
Don Carlos was our father.
This is the man who stabbed me. Call the police.
We must bring him to the hotel.
Take him to one of our rooms. And let someone call a doctor, fast.
That man spoke the truth. He's my brother. Don Carlos was our father.
You shouldn't have shot him. -That man tried to kill you, Alicia.
And he almost managed to kill me. He's dangerous.
Bring some cloths. -The wound has to be cleaned.
Please, before it gets infected. Bring boiling water.
What happened? -It's my assailant from Monteverde.
He attacked one of our waiters. I had no choice.
Agent, this man is... -A thief.
He only came here to steal. That's all.
It's only a petty thief, Mr Murquía. I'll deal with him.
Fine with me. But take him away as soon as possible.
If we move him now, he'll die.
He'll stay here, but under guard. I'll tell Hernando to come.
Doña Alicia, your brother has had an accident.
Do you hear me? Javier, my son, do you hear me?
I can't hear you, Mother.
I told him not to come close, but it was too late. He's completely deaf.
He can't go to war like this. And he was so excited about it.
You're going to call a doctor to declare me 'unfit for the army'?
I'm afraid so. I'm sorry, young man.
With a thousand men like you we'd conquer the world.
What did you say? -I said that...
What a shame, doña Teresa. I'm going to call the army doctor.
I hope this isn't another ploy, Javier, because it may cost you dearly.
Write it down.
Javier?
Javier, what's the matter?
When were you going to tell me who my father was?
Juan was your father. He raised you and loved you like a son.
He wouldn't have had to if my real father had met his obligations.
He couldn't. His family would never have accepted you.
Go and wash these.
How is Yanes?
You also knew about it?
That's the secret you kept, right?
You knew. My mother, my best friend...
You were keeping it from me all this time.
Don't touch me. I have to go back to work.
This isn't a tea party, people.
These are provisional police premises, so please make way.
Until I met you, I didn't know what it was like to have a friend, Andrés.
I kept quiet so as to spare you. Alicia too. We thought it better.
Better? -Yes.
Being ignorant of my father and my siblings, one of whom tried to kill me.
I can't think of anything worse. -We were mistaken.
And I'm sorry.
But we can work it out, Andres. You're my brother.
No, I've never been your brother, I'm not and I don't want to be.
I also thought I'd made a real friend. But I was wrong.
They told me you were here.
Do you already know if I can work at the hotel?
Doña Teresa says there's no vacancy, but you can stay for a few days.
I have some money I can lend you if you need it.
Excuse me, I know you're very busy...
but who can I ask for lunch for doña Ángela?
I'll make her something, as soon as I finish this. Careful, it's scalding hot.
Can I help you? I used to be a cook. -No, it's too heavy. Only I can carry it.
Andrés, move it.
Andrés, fill up the glasses. -And bring some salmon.
More sauce. -I also want salmon.
Andrés, more wine.
Here's your wine.
What are you doing, young man?
If one of my men behaved like you, he'd be on his way to the dungeon.
Lucky we have no dungeons here. Excuse me.
A waiter at the Grand Hotel can't behave this way.
Least of all in front of a guest. -I apologized, madam.
The next time I'll fire you. I don't care if you're Ángela's son.
Would you still not care if I was don Carlos's son?
That's absurd. -I know everything, madam.
What has your mother told you? -I discovered it myself. She lied to me.
She did well. -Did she?
I'm my siblings' servant, while this hotel is mine too.
You've kept me away from these riches that are mine by right my entire life.
You wouldn't let me touch them. How could you be so cruel?
I've been very generous, letting you stay here.
To me you're nothing.
You're a mistake of my husband, and you know how I feel about mistakes.
What will you do? I can't serve this table anymore, now that I know.
You're right, it makes no sense. You're fired.
I'll pack my things and leave today. -I'll have them pay you the full month.
Is anything wrong, Mother?
After the meal we have to talk. Everyone.
The oil is fuming. -Sister, can I talk to you?
Of course. -What time is the next train?
You don't have to go yet. -I don't want to be a bother.
My God, Eligio. -He burned himself.
Irene, let Mateo call a doctor.
Don't stand there, bring some cold water. My God.
Andrés has found out that...
that he's your father's son and, in fact, the firstborn.
What does he want? -He hasn't asked for anything.
I gave him no time to do so. I've fired him.
Does Andrés have any proof? -No.
Even so, if it reaches the press, it can do us a lot of harm.
If Andrés tries anything, I know how to stop him.
Leave me alone.
What's going on?
I saw how the sound of the bottle scared you.
I can't hear you, Mother.
Sure you do. For your sake I hope the army doctor isn't as observant.
Eligio is doing better, but the burns won't allow him to work here anymore.
I heard that you took it upon yourself to prepare the meals.
I was only trying to help, madam. -You did fine work and were in time.
If you keep it up, you can stay and work here.
Thank you, madam.
Water.
What?
You're coming back to the hotel with me.
Gonzalo wants the deed to the mines again?
This time he wants to destroy it. He's found tungsten.
Without this agreement between his father and don Carlos, they'd be his.
So that piece of paper is worth a fortune now. Let's put it to use.
I don't have it anymore, madam. Belén stole it last night.
Why do I only hear it now?
Let her in.
I'll handle this myself.
Madam.
What do you want for that document? -Money.
What's the matter? Gonzalo won't pay what he promised?
Do you want the document or don't you?
It's a nice sum, but... -It's only a part.
I'll pay the rest when you give me the document.
But first you have to do me a small favour. Very simple. Sit down, Belén.
You'll go and see a man who'll make a forgery, which you'll give to Gonzalo.
Why?
Once Gonzalo has the mines running, I'll claim them and save the investment.
That makes my intervention worth more.
I know. That's why I'm being so generous with you.
Your sister isn't here. -I didn't come for her.
What do you want?
The police arrested the gold-knife killer. They know I'm innocent.
Then why did Ayala want to see you? He isn't clear about Beatriz's death...
and I'm sure he'd be delighted to receive what I have.
The knife you killed her with, which still bears your fingerprints.
What do you want? -That you keep your word...
and get Alfredo to leave and give me his share of the hotel.
You find that amusing?
If you give the police that knife, what do you think my mother will do?
Or Alicia?
They'll never forgive you.
Don't worry about me, Sofía. Worry about yourself.
Here it is.
And so the front man will now be the owner of the tungsten mines.
The Alarcóns hid this document to humiliate my father.
Now their malice will make me rich.
Make us rich. Without my help you won't be able to exploit the mines.
Of course, don Luis, it'll make us rich. -The three of us.
What's the matter? -You tell her.
I'm sorry, Belén, but you're not part of this.
But I got you the document. -I can't trust you.
I'm sorry, miss, but in business it's essential to appear respectable.
And one can say many things about you, but not that you're respectable.
Will you let him talk to me that way?
You did what's best. That woman's no good for you. For no one, I would say.
Mateo, do you know if Diego went to Cantaloa? Did he say anything?
No, Marquise.
Antonio, what's this? -I found it in the garden.
In the garden? No, don't touch it. -Yes, madam.
It's where they found doña Beatriz. -We must give it to agent Ayala.
I'll do so.
Alicia, where are you going? -To see agent Ayala.
One of the waiters found this in the garden.
Alicia, I...
need to talk to you.
That knife has my fingerprints on it.
It was me.
I killed Beatriz. We had an argument in the garden.
I don't know how it happened, but it did.
Alicia, believe me.
You can't hand over that knife. I'm not a murderer.
But someone wants this to come to light.
Who's that?
Your husband, Diego.
Antonio found it in the garden. -That's what Diego wants you to think.
Ayala has many reasons to believe I killed Beatriz.
That's why you can't give it to him.
Alicia.
Alicia, I'm your sister.
Excuse me. -Is it serious, doctor?
His ears are fine. The damage may be internal.
It seems the patient doesn't hear the sound.
He's genuinely deaf.
Will he recover? -Possibly.
Will he be able to join the army? -Not at this time.
Here you are. For now I absolve don Javier Alarcón from serving his country.
I hope he'll recover some day. -Thank you.
What did you say?
You may act deaf for all I care, but I'm not.
You heard perfectly well what the doctor said.
I'll wait for you in Wadi Tameda. I'll make a real man out of you.
Madam.
I told you this farce would cost you dearly.
What do I do now, Mother? -Practice your shooting skills.
I gave Gonzalo and don Quiroga the document.
And what happened?
They believed it.
Is this the real document?
I told you you'd receive the reward you deserve.
Agents, this is the person who stole the document.
She also stole money from us. I'm sure she's hidden it in her room.
'To don Horacio Ayala.
In light of the latest events I'm glad to inform agent don Horacio Ayala...
that he has been promoted and is once again listed as inspector Ayala.'
Agent... -Not anymore.
I'm inspector Ayala again.
Congratulations, inspector. -Thank you. Look, my new ID.
And I'm mentioned in all the papers.
'Inspector Ayala, the man who caught the gold-knife killer.'
Who knows, maybe one day someone will write a novel.
Will you go back to Madrid? -No, it's not all good news.
They keep me posted in Cantaloa.
As I'll be staying here for a long time, tell me, how can I help you?
I'd like to talk to Benjamín.
Madam.
I didn't expect anyone to visit me, but you least of all.
Not even your brother?
Unfortunately not.
I've lied to you many times, but not about my brother.
The mine has ruined his lungs. He can't work anymore...
and can hardly feed his children.
I'm sorry.
It may seem odd, but of all the harm I've caused, what hurts me the most...
is what I'll be doing to them.
It will be their ruin.
They'll lose the little they have.
And they're my family.
They shouldn't have to pay for my wrongdoings.
I can send them money, pretending to be you.
Why would you do that? I tried to kill you.
I also have a family, Benjamín. A very complicated one, I assure you.
But it's the only one I have. And you can help me keep it together.
This is the knife doña Beatriz was killed with.
I've wiped off the fingerprints.
What do you want me to do?
Save my sister.
I'm only asking you for one last noble deed.
I don't know whether God will show you gratitude for it on the other side...
but I assure you that I will on this side.
You only have to touch it.
It was found near where doña Beatriz was murdered. It may be of relevance.
The measures match doña Beatriz's wound perfectly.
Won't you examine the finger marks? -The fingerprints? Yes, of course.
I'll take and compare them to those of the other suspects.
I'll let you know the outcome.
Thank you.
I don't have much time left. -I'm not a doctor.
Neither am I, but I know.
I know.
You've been after me for a long time. Why?
I only wanted to protect Andrés.
And find out who killed Alicia's father. -No one killed my father.
He died of a heart attack. -He was poisoned. You didn't know?
No.
I'd never have hurt him. He was my father.
The only family I had in this world.
He'd told your mother you were dead. People kill for less.
And I hated him for it.
But my revenge was not to kill him. -Then what was?
I grew up at the convent of San Bernabé.
For a long time that was all I knew. The nuns...
and a father who came to see me every now and then.
I came to think it was normal, that keeping myself hidden was best.
Later on my father found me a job in Monteverde, at a lawyers' office.
That's where he dealt his first blow.
He's a good boy and will learn fast. He'll make a good clerk. Thank you.
We ought to thank you, don Carlos. What's his name?
Fernando, Fernando Yanes. -I'll go and draw up the contract.
My name is Ángel, Ángel Alarcón. -From now on you're Fernando Yanes.
These lawyers also work for the hotel. Your real name would raise suspicions.
I hope you understand.
I told him I did, that I understood.
But it devastated me.
My father had always been very kind to me and had always treated me well.
Suddenly he'd disowned my name. He was ashamed of me.
Then he went back to his real family.
I tried to prove that I deserved my father's last name.
That I was able to prosper on my own, like the Alarcóns.
But I was wrong.
Yanes, this is the payroll of the blast furnaces.
They'll pick it up in two weeks. It's in your care.
Don't worry.
You stole it?
I borrowed it to invest in a shipping line, but it went wrong.
Did your father find out? -Yes.
He helped me replace the money before anyone noticed.
But he lost all confidence in me.
He no longer came to see me at the house in Monteverde he'd given me.
And whenever he came to the office, he didn't even look me in the eyes.
I felt more lonely than ever.
Then, after a long time, he wrote me a letter. He had disowned me...
and would leave everything to Andrés.
I was overcome with rage.
I went to the Grand Hotel, but they wouldn't let me by.
My father had given orders not to let me in.
It's starting to get windy. -It was my mother.
My father had always insisted on the importance of guarding our secret.
And on the harm the truth would cause.
But at that moment I could only think of the harm he'd caused me...
and of that woman who didn't even know of my existence.
And I told her the truth.
That was my only vengeance.
Ángela argued with your father that night. And I assume because of you.
I don't know. I don't know.
