I'm wasting my time bringing food to you, right?
Oh my leg! My leg!
Your leg still here!
Tell my Captain what happened!
I believe you!
But what a Captain could do for you if the order to bring you here came from General Dominguez Cañedo?
What is the charge?
I didn't nothing!
That *** said that Fuentes Guerra would pay for his debts because he is his brother-in-law!
And the man went to Manoel's house to get his payment!
I'll talk to your brother
Ok, mother! But this doesn't change what happened! My brother is so cynical!
Manoel is a mature man He'll understand!
What will he understand? That Humberto is saying to everybody he is his brother-in-law to take money from him?
To make him marry me?
Enough Matilde!
No, mother! I'm not this kind of the girl!
How do I look to him when he come to see me?
Just pretend you don't know nothing!
Are you asking me to lie to him?
For God sake mama! How is your opinion about me?
The worse as posible!
Where are you going?
I'm going to get dress
I think Mr. Fuentes Guerra is not worry about seeing you in your pijamas
But I care!
Besides I want to go downstairs
What time is he coming?
I ask him to come by afternoon I think he should be coming now
Where are my clothes?
I'll bring for you
If you came to talk to my brother he is not home!
Listen to me, miss! I told you I have a promissory signed by him and somebody need to be responsible for this!
Your father, your mother, your grandma, I don't care!
This is a honour debt and I need to be pay for this!
Your brother promise me...
Oh, look who is here! Mr. Fuentes Guerra!
I'm glad to see you feel better!
Thanks
Excuse me for a moment!
Alright! I'm going to pay for his debt but stop to torment her!
You can go to my house tonight, ok?
Okay!
Excuse me! I'll see you later, miss!
Don't worry!
I'm so embarassed
This is your brother's fault not yours!
But is the same because it's about my family
You should think terrible things about us!
Not about you!
What else that man told you?
Well, he have been here this morning after he came from your house
I don't understand why Humberto invented that lie!
Are you talking about the story of him being my brother-in-law?
Yes
Don't bother about it!
To be honesty with you this is the reason of my visits to your house
I like you so much, Matilde
Since the first time I saw you 3 months ago
Three months ago?
Yes, you were walking on the street with your brother
That moment I felt something very especial for you
I know you don't know me but...
...if you give me the opportunity to know you maybe...
...in the future we could feel something deep for each other
Oh no, you don't need to answer me right now but please think about it
I won't care if you accept me or not The most important to me is that your decision be honest and free!
I don't want you to feel press by circunstances or people
Why are you telling me this?
Because if I get married I want that my wife loves me for who I am and not just because I am a rich man
Am I going to fast?
No, it's ok!
I think the coffee should be ready
I know very well General Dominguez Cañedo
What did he asked you?
Cattle for the troop
I know the followers of Varanda are recruiting rich people for their group
Did you accepted?
Well, I didn`t went to the meeting at Doctor Marquez`s house because I don`t wanna help them
Why don`t you want to help the aristocrats?
I don`t want to bother you with my answer, sir
I traveled to Malta City not just because of my health problems...
But i was there because i can`t accept that the government group
is just by the side of the aristocrats
Forgetting about the right of Juan Alvarez to be the president!
So if you doesn`t want to give your cattle to them for this reason congratulations!
You are the first person in this town who think like me!
I'm not the only one!
But most part of people prefers to keep their opinion to themselfs
What do you think about it daughter?
Well, I heard a lot of things
Some people say Juan Alvarez and his group doesn't have any experience to command
That it was the poor people who elected him but they are ignorant and they don't know what is better for the Country
Do you agree?
I don't know nothing about Politic, papa
But you have a brain and I bet you should have a opinion about it
Well, when I'm walking down the street or down the Farm...
I see so many miserable people
I think we have to do something for them!
We have to educate them, give them a job so they won't have hungry anymore!
To teach them something about hygiene
If it's truth Juan Alvarez wanna do this we have to give an opportunity to him
Because when the minority has so much and the majority has so less the problems starts!
What do you think, Manoel?
I'm sure it's the most sensible opinion that I heard
Matilde, go to see what happened with the cookies they promise to us!
Because the coffee is getting cold
Yes, papa! Excuse me
Sure!
I sent Matilde to the kitchen because I know you don't want she knows about what you did for us
I feel embarassed
I think although our situation, my wife shouldn't accept your offer
I'm talking about the payment of the mortgage
When Augusta told me I felt bad
Because I don't want you think we are taking advantage of the affection you have for our daughter
Sir it was my pleasure to help!
Because you are a good soul!
And if your wish to marry Matilde happens...
I'll be very happy!
I'm saying from the bottom of my heart
My daughter is a good girl
She is inteligent, affectionate and she has a pure soul
I always told her I'd never choose a husband for her
Because she is free to choose
I think the marriage is very hard especially to the woman
I believe just with love we can support the hard times
I believe the same!
I wish Matilde correspond your feelings for her
I love her so much
She is the light of my life
She deserves to be happy
If your daughter accept me, General I would do everything to make her happy
I believe you
I'm sorry make you wait! My sister decided to make her famous muffins
Not the same cookies of always!
You have to taste my famous sugar muffins! It's delicious!
I'm sure you will like, Mr. Manoel
I'm sure I will!
Come on! You can taste, please!
How dare you?
What are you talking about?
You back to play cards even you had swear to me you wouldn't play anymore and that is not all!
You told your that man that Manoel would pay for your debt!
He will pay!
I just talk to Orlando Cordero and he told me Manoel promised him to pay tonight
Anyway I don't want you abusing him this way!
Mother!
What are you saying?
Please forgive me but you mean...
I can abuse him but not this way?
Don't be so cynical!
Ok, alright!
I made a mistake!
But I promise you it was the last time
I don't believe you, son!
Right but I'll do the impossible to do the right thing next time
Mama!
Mama, Manoel is so rich!
He should to give us all his money because we are doing him a favor
Or did you forgot he is an illegitimate?
