She is Ms. Matilde
She's a beautiful young woman
She had a good education
by the way she's single...
because I heard she didn't choose
any of men whom wanted marry her
Of course now she'll have problems to get married
because I have doubts if the General will can pay a good dowry
apropriate to their social position
So are you going to make me this favor?
Oh, don't be cruel, Pilar!
If you say no, Adolfo can't write to me!
I know but I'm afraid that Ramón find one of these letters!
You know him!
Okay!
Tell Adolfo that he can send the letters to me
He just need to send the letters like was to Micaela
But seriously, Matilde...
I think you have to finish this romance!
You don't have a future with this man!
I don't want to broke up with him!
Adolfo and I are in love!
You must understand
Ok, I understand what you want!
The problem is you don't have money!
I don't care!
But your family cares!
Not my father!
And I'm sure that when dad knows how much I want marry Adolfo...
He'll say yes!
Why does Adolfo still don't talk to your parents?
He's afraid they say no
But he promise me when he come back he'll talk to them
Good
I'm happy for you
Pilar, we are friends the entire life and...
I know your husband knows about what's going on...
do you know something about the financial situation of my family?
Is truth that things are bad?
You don't have to worry about the house
The employees take care of everything
the bedrooms are great
The living room is right here!
How many days are you planning to stay?
I'm leaving tomorrow
Oh good!
Because I have to go back to the city too!
What did you found talking to Mr. Tremillo?
I think he's using the money of the catle to finance high interest rates
how do you know?
Do you remember that man that we saw on the street with that girl?
Yes
He was there to ask him for money
and when I came there he was talking to him about interest rates
What about the girl? Is she his wife?
No, she's his sister
They are children from General...
Hilário Peñalverde Y Beristein
A General let his son ask money to a manipulator?
Maybe his father think that the discipline is good just for his troop
Do you think he's sister is undisciplined too?
I don't know
But she's single and she can't think about marry because her family is broken
Really?
I tought that you are not interested by this girl
It was Tremillo who told me
He said she has many suitors but she doesn't like anyone
Maybe they are not rich enough
Do you wanna try?
Mama, we are broken!
Who told you?
Humberto and Pilar too
Well, you knew it, eh?
You told me that the farm wasn't producing like before and there is less cowboys but...
The situation now is so hard that your father had to mortgage the farm...
And if the harvest be bad again will not have money to pay for the loan!
What are we going to do?
I suggest you stop to wait for your Prince Charm!
You have to acept the propose of Celestino Del Vale or the young Castelo
They have money enough to save us from the misery and the humiliation!
Never have doubts about my love for you, Matilde
Ever
I love you
Are you still awake?
Yes
You are thinking about your mama said
I understand you, baby
But you are not a little girl anymore
What about this man you are dreaming about it never come?
But he can come anytime
I hope so from the bottom of my heart
But think about your friends
All your friends are married and have kids
And you are still alone
Kiss me, auntie
And you know how rare are single men in this town
I think would be sad if you have to become a nun
I want to marry in love, aunt!
Darling, love comes later
Living side by side, when the kids come...
No!
Love comes first
Oh, Matilde! Matilde!
I think your father agree with you
But we know your mother very well!
When she wants something it's impossible to change her mind!
So you have to choose a husband soon!
It's better for you!
Or your mother will choose for you!
I'm concerned about Matilde
Why? What happened?
She should be married!
She can't choose a husband
Well, I think you are right
I think we have to do something!
I've been thinking...
Celestino Del Valle for example...
He could be a good husband to her!
He's a gentleman and have a good social position...
Please, Augusta!
Celestino is my age!
Alright so what do you think about José Maria Castelo?
He's not rich like Don Celestino but...
What Matilde think?
I think she'll say no
Because she still have fantasies about a Prince Charm
But we have to convince her that we are right
She's a beautiful woman
She can choose the most rich man of the State!
so let she chooses
She didn't choose yet!
I think we have...
Choose for her?
Never!
I had told you, Augusta!
I'd never exchange my daughter for money!
I won't sell Matilde!
I'm glad you came to visit me
I'm going to Barranquilla and I came to say hello
Good you are here because I wanna talk to you
You may sit, please
I've been checking the counts of Santa Rita Farm
And I noticed that every month has an extra rate
The money is to pay for vigilance
I don't understand
For many years the region is full of bandoleros
And I am the responsible for the vigilance troop
Do I have to pay for this?
It's supposed to be goverment problem
You are new here and you don't know how things works here
The goverment don't give us money
And we have a lot of problems
I understand
What about if I decide don't pay for this? What will happen to me?
All of badonleros will come here to steal me?
You are playing with fire, Mr. Fuentes Guerra
I think I'll take the risk
Are you saying you are not going to pay?
Yes
He's a suspicious son of a ***
Be careful! You are talking about your boss!
He'll be a dead boss if he don't pay the money
And now? How we keep our business?
Our business?
Well, your business but mine too
Because we are together in this!
Not exactly together Benigno
Yes, I know where my place is
Let's be quiet!
We have to wait or Don Manoel will suspect
Soon we can bring the men and fhrigthened him
Yes, sir!
Benigno!
Benigno!
Damn it!
I'm talking to you! Come here!
I tought that I gave orders to send away the vigilance troop!
Maybe they don't understand your order
I want the troop go away now! And never disobey my orders again!
Do you understand?
Yes, sir
