[crowd clamoring, cheering]
[mouthing, in Spanish] Hello.
I can't focus with such a large audience.
Technically, they won't be looking at you.
They know what they're after.
Hey, are you here to play or to show off?
Some of us know how to do both.
[crowd cheering]
Why do you and Andreu keep staring at each other?
I said hi. I didn't put my tongue in his mouth.
Not yet, right?
Well, I wouldn't mind.
He's handsome.
So you decided to flirt with the guy your sister likes.
You like Andreu?
- No, I don't. - [friend] Oh, please.
Technically, she's obsessed with him.
I don't like him.
- You like Andreu? - I do not!
Shut up! Please, I'm begging you. Shh!
You tell these gossips instead of your own sister?
- Have you told him? - [Mariona] There's nothing to tell.
Can we play, please?
Do you want to play?
- I do. - Okay.
But if I win,
I'll invite Andreu to the dance.
Since you don't care.
[clamoring, cheering continue]
["Globus" by Renaldo & Clara playing]
All right!
- Let's go, Mariona. You can do it. - Let's go, let's go.
[crowd murmurs]
[song continues]
Come on, Mariona!
Come on, Julia!
Yes! [laughs]
Maybe I'll get to keep Andreu now.
[crowd cheering]
[gun hammer cocks]
Damn, what the hell's going on?
Honey, there are two men pointing guns at us.
I know, Mom.
I can see them.
[in English] I hate to interrupt your little chat, ladies, but it's time.
Okay, well, let me talk to Tony one more time. Just one last time.
Don't we-- Don't we get, like, some sort of last request?
The hell are you doing?
She's right.
My uncle Frank was allowed to smoke a Cuban cigar
before they took him to the electric chair.
You outta your mind?
You trying to make the boss angry?
Besides, don't you wanna get back?
See your mother?
I'm not doing it.
- You're gonna have to live with it. - [sighs]
[phone ringing]
[thug] Might be your lucky day.
[phone ringing]
- [phone chimes] - [Gala sighs]
Is it done?
Hey, Tony.
[Tony] Gala, what a surprise.
Hey, look. There's a better way to fix this.
Let's just make a deal.
[Tony] Yeah, you know, Fred said the same thing
and look where that got us.
Okay, look. I-I don't have all the money that Fred owes you,
but I can pay you little by little.
There's a vineyard here in La Muga and, um, my family owns it. [chuckles]
[Tony] And I care because?
Uh, because it makes a very special wine.
It's a kind of wine that would sell like gangbusters in New York.
[Tony] You're boring me, Gala.
No, okay. Listen. Listen.
I know a woman named Edna and she's coming here to visit us
because she wants to buy all the wine.
- And do you know how much money that is? - [Tony] No. So why don't you tell me?
Half a million dollars.
[Tony] Yeah? [scoffs]
What about the other 14 and a half?
Hey, look. I-I can only pay in installments.
And if you give me a few days, I can give you half a million dollars.
But if you kill us, then you don't get anything.
So it's your call.
[sniffs]
This is what we're gonna do.
I'll take the half a million as a first payment,
- but you've got three days. - [ball rolls, thuds]
Oh, God.
[Tony] And my men are gonna stay there
and watch your every move.
And so help me God, if you do something stupid, you're dead.
All of ya.
Got it?
Got it.
LAND OF WOMEN
- [whispering, in Spanish] Are you okay? - What do you mean "are we okay"?
You made a deal with Tony.
- They were going to kill us. - Oh, please.
They're going to kill us anyway.
Once they find out the winery isn't yours.
[thug] Shh!
[siren blaring]
- Well, look who it is. Andreu. - [Gala, Kate gasp]
Just in time, as always.
[sighs, speaks in English] Really? That cop again.
What do we do?
- [in Spanish] Mom, we need to warn him. - No. No, that could be really dangerous.
- Don't do or say anything. - [Kevin] Shh!
[in English] I'm pulling over.
I'll deal with him.
No, no! Don't deal with anything.
I'll deal with it.
Please, just don't shoot anybody.
[siren continues blaring]
- [siren stops] - [hand brake clicks]
Don't do nothing stupid.
[Amat, in Spanish] Gala, I've been calling you all day.
[Gala] Oh, have you? It's been a crazy day.
And you three, where were you?
- Who are these guys? - Um... Uh, they're family.
Right!
Right, he's my uncle Hank. [chuckles] And my cousin, um--
- Kevin. - Kevin.
Your mother has no family in America. And on your father's side...
No. No, no, no. They're from Fred's side.
My husband.
They're from Milwaukee.
[clears throat] They came to visit because they adore me.
- [Andreu] Ah. - Spain is very beautiful.
- Yeah? Olé! - [Andreu chuckles]
[Quintanilla] Sure, olé, olé! [taps on window]
It's beautiful, but you're not respecting the speed limit. Okay?
[in English] Documentation, please.
- License and registration of this car. - Yeah. Yeah.
Well, uh, we got that, don't we, Kevin?
Why don't you get out the license and a registration for the man.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
[Gala, in Spanish] Hold on! You know...
[chuckles] ...they confused kilometers with miles and miles with kilometers.
Right, but they were driving over 60 on a local road.
Okay... [stammering] ...enough--
Quintanilla. Calm down, man.
[in Catalan] Don't you see... [in Spanish] ...they're family?
Well? Well?
Have you seen the town?
[in English] Yeah, yeah. [in Spanish] Town.
- [in English] Yeah. - [in Spanish] Not yet. Not yet.
Well, we're going to the winery now.
We're gonna do a tour because they love wine.
- Oof. - [Andreu] Oh. Great. Of course.
- [Hank] Yeah. Wine. - [Andreu chuckles]
[engine starts]
[Gala, in English] Isn't it beautiful?
Wait till you see inside.
[in Spanish] Right. I wanted to tell you about that.
- We have a problem. - A problem?
What problem?
[liquid pouring]
[tap squeaks]
[gasps] You've wasted part of the wine?
We've worked so hard for this!
Luckily, we didn't lose much, toots. But not thanks to you!
It was an accident, Gala. We've been working all day.
- An accident? - Technically, it's your fault.
- I wasn't here! - That's why!
You give orders and disappear. Where were you?
- [Ramona] Amat! - [Amat] Yes?
Phone for you.
Well! The queen is here!
You should be ashamed.
- You better leave. For real this time. - [Nalda] Go on.
No time like the present! Hmm?
Goodbye.
[Gala shouts]
- No, no and no. I'm not going anywhere. - [Nalda] I'm pretty sure you are leaving.
This is our cooperative.
And we've had about enough of you!
I'm sorry for what happened, and I know you're tired.
But if we want Edna to buy the wine, we need to fix all of this.
Do you want to work?
[in Catalan] Very well.
[in Spanish] We're going home.
- And you, you can go to hell! Let's go! - [Gala exclaims]
Now we're in deep shit.
- [Kate sighs] - Hey, where are you going?
[mop clatters on floor]
[in English] My grandma used to use that word.
Did they just tell you to go to hell?
What, them? No. [chuckles]
No... [stammers] ...they have big personalities here,
and that's how we say goodbye.
Yeah.
[in Spanish] Go to hell!
See you tomorrow!
[in English] See? She gets it.
Lady, I know a strike when I see one.
We're gonna be watching you. Day and night.
You got it?
Yeah. Got it.
[sighs]
[Amat, in Spanish] Where is everybody?
They own the land!
I know.
I know they're very important.
But all of this is very important to me too.
I can't tell them because they won't listen to me.
Well, you better fix this soon because that was Edna!
She's coming earlier.
She'll be here in three days.
No, no, no, no. This is over. I'm dead.
Why are they still here?
[in English] Excuse me. We are about to close.
Uh, well, um, our hotel is kind of far away,
and Gala here very kindly offered to put us up for the night.
[in Spanish] They had too much wine and don't know how to drink. [chuckles]
No way.
- Just one night. - No way.
[in English] It's not a five-star resort, but...
you'll be okay.
Hold on. There's only one bed?
Yeah. You're taking the floor.
What, do I look like a chicken? No. We're gonna flip for it.
[in Spanish] Their relationship is a bit weird, isn't it?
[scoffs] Like in every family. [chuckles]
[in English] Hey, um, your dog is friendly, right?
[Golfo barks, growling]
Depends.
- [in Spanish] Let's go, Golfo. - [in English] Depends on what?
- [Golfo barks] - [chickens clucking]
- Hey. We'll be watching you. - Yeah.
And if anyone calls that cop again, we're gonna be dealing with him.
- And by dealing with him, I mean-- - Yeah, yeah. I got it.
[in Spanish] Are you finally going to tell me what's going on?
Amat, I've had a horrible day.
I just want to sleep, and for this day to be over.
I know you're angry with me but talking is the last thing I need.
[Amat] Can I say something?
You know...
you came into my life like a steamroller.
You weaseled your way into my house, the winery,
and you turned everything upside down.
But I trust you.
Because you're good at this and made our wine better.
However, when it's time to work, you disappear,
and I get nervous thinking something bad might have happened to you.
Then you bring over two weird men
who are obviously not who you say they are.
Plus, it's your fault the cooperative is falling apart,
and we need those women now more than ever.
You only care about you!
So, yes. I'm angry with you, Gala.
Were you worried about me?
Yes.
No.
[Gala grunts]
A little.
Didn't you hear a word I said?
Do you want me to trust you?
Tell me who those two really are.
[grunts]
[sighs]
I'm gonna get some rest.
- I haven't slept in over 24 hours. - [sighs]
[whispering, in English] Hey.
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
Five hours ago, we had guns pointing to our heads.
And now these guys are out there watching us.
Do you really think them staying here is a good idea?
[in Spanish] Would you mind arguing quietly?
I'm trying to get some sleep.
[in English] What do you want me to do? They have guns.
We can't just get rid of them.
Well, we can call the police and tell them what's going on.
You really think Andreu can handle those two guys?
I don't wanna put anybody else in danger.
Plus, it'd only be a matter of time before Tony sends two other hit men.
[sighs]
'Cause your father got us into this mess.
And I'm-- I'm mad and sad, but we're gonna have to fix this alone.
Or else it'll never end.
I'm gonna get Tony his money. Trust me.
How are you gonna get the women back to the winery?
[Julia, in Spanish] I never thought
they could hate someone more than they hate me.
But you can do anything, honey...
Mom, weren't you sleeping?
Fine.
I'll talk to them.
No. No, no, no, no.
Grandma, we have enough problems already. We need a solution.
Those old ladies are going to hear you out,
or my name isn't Julia Xatart.
I know how to convince them.
- [in English] Is that Nalda? - Mm-hmm.
It's pretty.
[rooster crows]
[in Spanish] Hello?
[rooster crows]
[chickens clucking]
[crowd clamoring, cheering]
- [bat strikes pins] - [crowd cheers]
[Julia] All right. All right, move aside.
- Move aside! - Mom.
Maybe now is not the best time.
Hold on, please! Hold on!
My daughter wants to talk to you.
I know you're mad, but it's very important!
Can't you see we're busy?
We don't want to listen to her at all. Got it?
Get lost, or we'll hit you with one of these. You choose.
I knew this wouldn't be easy.
Forget it, Mom. We'll talk to them later.
- Come on. - No way.
I see some things don't change.
- You're still awful at this. - [crowd booing]
[Gala] Mom, you can't stand there. What are you doing?
Sticking up for you, like when you were bullied at school.
You never stood up for me at school.
I didn't?
[Julia] Do you want them to hear you out or not?
Clearly, you're the opposite of wine.
- You get worse with age. - [crowd booing]
If I'm so bad, why did I always beat you?
[crowd cheers]
Listen, honey.
I haven't played bitlles in 45 years,
but I'm sure I could beat you with my eyes closed.
Unless you're scared, of course. [chuckles]
[crowd clamoring, applauding]
Me? Scared of you?
- No way! - [crowd cheers]
Then how about you and I play a round, like in the good old days?
If I win, you have to hear my daughter out.
What if you lose?
If I lose, we leave town.
And you'll never see me again.
- [crowd cheers] - Mom, what?
I-- I don't-- I don't think that's a good-- Mom.
- Deal. - [crowd cheering, applauding]
A bet? That's how you're helping me?
Trust your mother a little bit.
- Good luck, Grandma. - Luck is for clumsy people, dear.
We talented people don't need it.
- [in English] What's all this? - [shouts] Jesus.
I thought you came here to fix your little problem.
I am fixing. This is plan B.
And it's gonna work.
[Kate] Mom, over here.
[hand brake clicks]
[engine off]
BITLLES WINE BAR
[Montse, in Spanish] How are you? I've been calling you.
Hi, Montse.
Hey, I know we were supposed to meet last night...
- Sorry, okay? I completely forgot. - [Montse] Don't worry about it.
- We can get together and talk today. - Today? Talk today?
- Yeah, I have to tell-- - [Amat] I can't today.
Uh, I have a lot of work at the winery, preparing for the buyer's visit.
- [Montse] Right, a lot of work. - [Amat] It's gonna be a long day.
It's not like I don't want to.
- Right, you're very busy. - [Amat] I'm sorry.
Let's talk some other day.
- With plenty of time, okay? - [chuckles]
Gala. Hi, Kate.
- Can we talk, alone? It's important. - [Gala stammers]
I can't now.
This is more important.
I know you lied to me about those two guys.
I found ammo among their stuff.
Don't worry about them.
I have everything under control. Trust me.
Trust me too.
[crowd applauding, cheering]
[crowd chanting] Mariona! Mariona! Mariona! Mariona!
- [bat strikes pins] - [Nalda] Yeah! [cheers]
That's what I'm talking about.
[Gala] Let's go, Mom!
Knock 'em all over!
Don't worry, honey. I can take her.
It's not bowling.
You win more points if you leave one standing.
Oh.
That's harder.
[crowd cheering]
- Come on! Yeah! - Nice aim, Julia!
[Gala, in English] Yes!
- [priest, in Spanish] Let's go, Julia! - Let's go, Grandma! [shouts]
[bells chiming]
[crowd murmuring]
[bells continue chiming]
- [Gala shouts] Ow. - [Andreu] Sorry, dear.
There was a bug on you.
51ST ANNUAL BITLLES TOURNAMENT
[shouts]
- [crowd cheering] - [young Mariona giggling]
Come on, Mom.
She's got this.
If she leaves one standing, she wins the game.
Come on, Grandma!
[crowd cheering]
Maybe I'll get to keep Andreu now.
[Gala] Mom, what happened?
I had to do it. For Mariona.
- She's in love with Andreu. - What are you talking about, Mom? Hold on.
[in English] Kate, honey.
[in Spanish] Hold on! Hold on!
- You have to listen to me! - [worker] We don't have to!
- [Gala] Yes! - [worker] We don't have to.
- [Gala] That's not fair. - [worker] We won!
[Mariona] A bet is a bet, and your mother said...
Why can't we discuss this like adults?
[Ramona] Na-nana boo-boo, I can't hear you. [laughs]
You're ruining the wine.
You lost, honey.
No, no. The bet wasn't my idea.
It was my mother's.
You can ask her.
Mom.
Mom!
Julia!
Mom!
Where's your grandma?
Hey, are you looking for Julia?
- Where did you see her? - [mechanic] She was leaving town.
Wait, is something wrong?
Well, she gets disoriented sometimes and doesn't know where she is.
If anything happens to her...
Gala, she's your mother.
She'll be fine, okay?
I'll go home. I'm sure she walked there.
Tell Andreu so he can help us.
[in English] Have you seen Julia?
[in Spanish] Mom! Mom!
- [grunts] Can I go with you, my daughter? - Sure.
You know, I refer to everyone as "my children" during mass.
Although I wouldn't mind calling you my "daughter."
- I'm sure your mother told you... - Yes. Yes, she did.
- [tires screech] - Get in! We'll get there faster.
- Gala, now that it's just the three of us... - I know. I know.
I've spent my whole life thinking my father had died.
Now, either of you could be him.
I'd love to get to know you better, really, but for now...
let's just find my mother.
- [engine off] - Mariona.
[Mariona] Where do you think you're going?
[Gala] My mother is missing.
Going missing isn't a first for her.
She has memory issues and sometimes gets confused.
She's sick. She has dementia.
[Mariona] Your mom has always been very "special."
Whenever she was stressed, she just disappeared.
We never knew where she went,
but we didn't make a scene like this either.
I know where she may be.
I'll go with you.
I thought you were mad at Julia and-- and at me too.
[Mariona] Get out.
[in English] Does Maggie know what her father does for a living?
I mean, I'm her girlfriend, and her dad is trying to kill us.
- Let's just say he didn't like you. - What?
- You wanna shut up? - What? It's true.
Tony never approved the relationship.
[Hank sighs] We don't talk about personal stuff.
Hey. Forget about Maggie, buttercup.
I doubt you're gonna see her again.
[Kevin] And if she knew, whose side do you think she'd take?
[engine off]
[sighs, speaks in Spanish] Oh, my.
You've made quite the mess, my dear.
The whole town is looking for you.
Really?
I just wanted to be alone.
There's something I haven't told you, Mariona.
[sniffles] It's so horrible.
[sniffles] I know you're gonna hate me when I tell you.
I know you really like Andreu.
That's why I let you win at bitlles.
So you could go to the dance with him.
You let me win?
I did. [sniffles]
Well, you're so shy, dear.
If I hadn't given you a push,
we would still be waiting for you to make a move.
We slept together.
Just once.
It's horrible, Mariona.
I can't eat or sleep because I feel terrible.
But...
it was only once, okay?
It didn't mean anything.
The worst part--
The worst part is that you won't want to see me ever again.
[stammers] Julia, you've-- you've never been a saint.
But I guess neither have I.
- I know, but-- - [Mariona] No buts.
You're very stubborn.
And-- And a tart too.
And you drive me crazy.
[sighs] But you're my sister.
Hey, what are you doing here?
So, this is the place you'd come to when you wanted to hide.
Huh?
Your secret hideout.
- Well, who told you? - Gala.
Oh, Gala, Gala.
Gala, sweetie.
Gala, I can't tell you anything.
You tell everyone.
I love you too, Mom.
[Mariona] Okay, listen.
A bet is a bet.
What's that really important thing you have to tell us?
[stammers] But...
Hey, bear in mind that you'll-- you'll have a very tough audience.
Don't you remember you won at bitlles?
Come on. For once in your life...
[patrons chattering]
Uh, listen up.
[chuckles, speaks in Catalan] Let's toast to the game.
- [in Spanish] I want to say something! - [patrons continue chattering]
Excuse me!
[Montse] They're not listening, are they? Hold on, I'll say something.
Hey! Hey, listen to her, or no one leaves! Got it?
But you won. Why do we have to listen to her?
Well, because she has very good ideas and can help us.
Plus, they're from town, same as us.
And they're family.
- Come here. - Oh, okay.
[Mariona] Here. Shh!
[Gala] Uh...
I want to apologize.
For coming here like a...
steamroller.
When I tried your wine, I thought it was the worst wine I'd ever tried.
- [patrons murmuring] - No, no. But-- But it could be fixed.
[exclaims]
[grunts]
Then I went into the winery and met you.
I realized that you have something very special.
Something no one else has.
That something is you.
All of you.
You are the heart of the winery.
What makes the wine unique.
I thought that was something that Edna and-- and everyone should know.
That's why I asked my daughter...
for a little help.
To show everyone...
that no other wine is made...
- with Ramona's love... - [Ramona gasps]
- ...or Nalda's passion. - [Nalda chuckles]
Or Úrsula's effort.
You are strong.
Fighters.
A little stubborn. [chuckles]
You know what you want,
and I would like to be like you.
I would love for you to forgive me.
So that I can keep working with you, by your side.
I want the whole world to know about this special wine.
The only wine made in the Land of Women.
- What do you think? - [sparse applause]
[applause grows stronger]
[workers, patrons chattering indistinctly]
[applause continues]
- Hey, she drew you younger. - Oh, please.
[bells chime]
[Andreu] Julia, are you okay?
Oh, God. Just what I needed.
I thought you had gone and done something stupid.
I've been praying for you all afternoon.
I'm perfectly fine. Can't you tell?
I look better than you two.
- What? - Well, I haven't slept since you arrived.
Plus, Mariona doesn't let me come home.
And now this Holy Joe could be the girl's father.
- What do you mean "Holy Joe"? - Don't interrupt me, Father.
Well, I know you may have some doubts because, uh...
I get it now, because, well, your memory is failing.
And I had sex with half this town and others too.
That's also key.
We don't want to overwhelm you, but we need to know who the father is.
Julia, I've quit priesthood.
I'm having a huge crisis of faith right now.
- What do you want me to do? Flip a coin? - No. No, there's no need for that. [sighs]
We're having a paternity test done.
They work with saliva,
but we can't just put our fingers inside her mouth, of course.
No, of course not. No, no.
I took one of Gala's hairs very carefully,
and-- and a friend from the Barcelona lab will do the DNA test.
Maybe this way we will know who the father is once and for all.
- Mom, let's go. You need to rest. - Yes, yes. Yes.
Thanks for everything.
- You're welcome, daughter. - You're welcome, daughter.
[Gala] Kate, help your grandmother.
No, no. I don't need help. I'm not a cripple.
- You're so annoying. Eh? - We need to talk.
Sure.
[line ringing]
[line continues ringing]
- [in English] Hi. - Kate, what the hell?
- I've been worried sick. Are you okay? - [sighs]
We almost got killed.
What? What-- What are you talking about?
Do you know why we're here?
Because my dad borrowed money from your dad.
- And now he's missing. - That's bullshit, Kate.
And your dad sent two hit men to have us killed.
[Maggie] Kate, I don't know what you're talking about!
You call me and tell me all this shit about my dad.
- Well, what do you want me to say? - [Kate] Nothing.
You don't need to say anything. Okay?
[sighs] Take care.
[Gala, in Spanish] What are you doing?
- Are you okay? - Yes.
At least we don't have a gun to our heads.
- [Gala sighs] - [Julia] That feels new.
I took it from you. I wanted to make a call.
You were right, Mom.
Maggie's not who I thought she was.
[Gala sighs]
I'm sorry, honey.
- I know how much that hurts. - [Kate] Whatever.
Our relationship is clearly a joke.
It's over.
[Julia] Cheer up.
You have us.
- Single life is amazing. I'm telling you. - [Kate chuckles]
I know the past few days have been tough.
And I know what you're gonna tell me.
Making a deal with Tony wasn't a smart move.
- [Kate] Mom-- - But I had to do something.
- Mom-- - It's not the best idea,
- but it's the first thing that-- - Mom, thank you.
For taking care of us.
[Gala sighs]
I'm glad I'm here with you.
I got so scared, thinking I could lose you.
- [Julia] Don't be so melodramatic. - [Gala chuckles]
[Julia chuckles] You two are just like me.
We're tough as nails.
No one can take us down.
[footsteps approaching]
Those guys are not Fred's family.
I guess you already knew that.
My husband got mixed up in something, and I'm trying to fix it.
I'm sorry for all the lies.
The less you know, the better.
I don't want to get you involved.
They're sleeping in my house.
Whatever mess you're in,
I'm in it with you.
I'll fix this.
- [Amat] Can't we ask Andreu for help? - No. No, no.
Okay. Okay.
No police. Got it.
I have a plan.
If you need help...
I'm here.
[button clicks]
I won't let anything happen to you.
[scoffs] I can take care of myself.
I'm well aware.
[sighs]
But thank you. It's nice to know...
you worry about me.
[chuckles] I don't worry about you.
Oh, you don't?
- No. Not at all. - Oh.
It seems like...
