Gaudencio: mm... What?

Just beans? Ana: gaudencio, it's just that with the pesos you gave me, i didn't have enough for anything else.

But, look, i made the molcajete sauce that you like so much. It turned out really spicy-- gaudencio: enough, ana, i'm tired of living like this.

I don't have enough for anything, there's no work in town, everything is getting more expensive, i can't. Ana: it's a bad streak, you'll see that we'll get out of this.

Gaudencio: shut up, ana, shut up. You only open your beak to say stupid things.

Do you know that--that sometimes i wonder why i married you? And you know what?

I've been thinking about it and i think i'm going to go to the united states to work, to earn in dollars. And there's a lot of work there.

One day i'm going to knock on that door and i'm going to arrive with a lot of bills. Ana: no, gaudencio, please, don't go.

If we both work, we'll get better, i know it. Gaudencio: it's my last word, ana.

I'm going to the united states and that's it. And you also have to bring money to this house, huh?

So tomorrow you get up early and you go ask for work at don rómulo's hacienda, did you understand? Rómulo: juana maría.

Juana maría! Juana maría: yes, boss.

Rómulo: i want you to kill a pig and prepare all the dishes that fermín likes for him. The carnitas, the cueritos, the ribs, everything he likes, ok?

Juana maría: whatever you order, boss. Rómulo: come on, please.

Make them look fresh, all of them. And if not, change the flowers.

Felipe: boss. Yes, boss.

Felipe: ana is here, who wants to talk to you. Rómulo: what's up, kid?

What can i do for you? Ana: oh, don rómulo, i've come to ask you if you'll give me work.

I'm really good at doing housework. Handmade tortillas, whatever, whatever is needed.

Rómulo: mm, my son arrives tomorrow from england, maybe you could help juana maría in the kitchen. Ana: yes, oh, yes, boss, thank you very much.

Thank you, thank you-- rómulo: okay, okay, okay. Felipe, take her to juana maría.

Felipe: yes, boss. Rómulo: come on.

Boss, what do i do with the horses? Do i keep them or what do i do?

Rómulo: come on, let's go put them away. Yes, sir.

Rómulo: so my son finds them very beautiful. Of course.

Ana: are you sure you want to leave? Gaudencio: and here we go again with the same thing.

I already told you yes, but it seems like you don't understand me. Are you silly, ana, or what?

And i'm leaving because the smuggler is waiting for me. Ana: oh...

Gaudencio: take care. Ana: gaudencio, may the virgin be with you.

Gaudencio: what are you doing, ana? Don't do that, you're not my mother, or what?

I entrust you with the house. Rómulo: son, welcome home.

Fermín: thank you, dad. All: welcome, boss.

Fermín: what a great welcome, i really wasn't expecting it. Thank you.

Nana. Juana maría: my boy.

Fermín: it's good to see you. Mm.

Hey, you're just as beautiful as when i left, huh? Juana maría: oh, boy, you don't even know what you're saying.

The handsome one here is you, my boy. Fermín: hey, i see there are new people on the ranch.

Rómulo: well, it's been a long time since you left. Since your mom died.

Fermín: well, yes, but i'm back and that's what counts. Juana maría: yes, yes, yes.

Rómulo: juana maría prepared all your favorite dishes, so let's celebrate. Fermín: let's go.

Juana maría: i hope you like them. Fermín: i'm going to try everything, how delicious.

Juana maría: ana, come on, help me, please. Ana: oh, yes, let's go.

Fermín: ana. Ana: oh.

Oh, young man, you scared me. Can i help you with something?

Fermín: since i saw you i've been trying to remember. I couldn't have forgotten such a beautiful face like yours.

And i realized, you're ana rivera. But how beautiful you've become.

When i went to england you were still a girl. Ana: oh, thank you, young man.

Fermín: no, none of that young man, call me fermín. I'm leaving, my father is waiting for me.

See you, ana. Ana: goodbye, have a good one.

Oh... Excuse me, i thought you had left with don rómulo.

Fermín: no, my dad went to the capital. And my interests are here, on the ranch.

Ana: oh, the best thing is for me to leave. Fermín: ana, i can't hide it anymore.

Don't you realize that i like you a lot? Ana: oh, no, it can't be.

I am a married woman. Fermín: gaudencio left many months ago.

You deserve a man who takes care of you like i do. Who treats you like i do.

Ana: oh, oh. Hello, my love.

I've been looking for you for days, but i haven't been lucky. Fermín: ah, it's just that i've been busy with other little things.

But now that you're here, we can go to my room. Ana: oh, oh, it's just that i have something to tell you first.

Fermín: yes? Ana: i'm pregnant.

Fermín: and? Ana: what do you mean, "and"?

I'm expecting your child. Fermín: you're not the first indian woman to have a child by a landowner, so get out of here.

Ana: you can't do this to me. I'll tell don rómulo what's happening.

Fermín: and what do you think he'll do? You're a slut who cheated on her husband who's in the united states.

Can you imagine what they'd say in town if they found out about the existence of that bastard? The most i can do for you is give you money to get an abortion.

Ana: you're a miserable man. How could i have trusted you?

You deceived me. I really fell in love with you.

I thought you loved me too. Fermín: stop talking nonsense and, come on, get out of here.

I don't want to see you here again, did you hear me? Ana: petra: come on, sister, please, tell me what's wrong.

Ana: i made a mistake, petra, a very big mistake. I fell in love with fermín cisneros, the boss's son.

Petra: oh... How could you do that, ana?

Ana: he charmed me. He just wanted to play with me and i fell for it.

The worst part is that i'm pregnant and he doesn't want to take responsibility. I can't have my child, petra.

The town wouldn't understand. Gaudencio would kill me, i can't, i can't--i can't.

Petra: what an irony. The doctor gave us the results and jaime and i will never be parents, i can't.

Ana: petra, receive my child into your arms. Raise him as if he were your own.

I'd rather you have him than abort him. Petra: really, ana?

Ana: yes, yes. Petra: oh, i promise to love and care for him as if he were my son.

We'll be discreet, you won't leave your house, no one will see you pregnant, okay? Oh, that baby is going to be the miracle i long for so much, sister.

Ana: i'll give you my son because i can't keep him. But promise me you'll let me see him grow up.

Petra: i promise you. You'll be his aunt ana and he'll love you very much, you'll see.

Ana: petra: this is going to be our secret, okay? Ana: yes.

Ana: xóchitl: you've crowned. Ana, i see your baby's head, one more push and it's out.

One, two, three. Ana: petra: come on, ana, you can do it.

Ana: xóchitl: it's a little boy. Ana: petra: you did very well, sister, you did very well.

Ana: hello, my love. Wel--welcome to the world.

I'm always going to be by your side, my love, always. I love you, i love you.

Sister, please, take care of him, okay? Take good care of him.

Baby: ana: petra: hello, i'm your mom, mateo. My mateo.

Ana: can i get you anything else, gaudencio? Gaudencio: no.

Where are you rushing off to? Sit down and have breakfast with me.

Ana: no, i can't, i have to go deliver this clothes and, after, to my sister petra's house. Today is mateo's first day of class at the normal rural.

Gaudencio: oh, really? Well, i can't stand that brat.

I can't stand your nephew, i think he's a very spoiled child. And you just melt with love for him.

Ana: it's that i love him very much. Gaudencio: mm.

Ana: mateo is very special to me. Gaudencio: oh, really?

You wouldn't say the same if you had given me a son. But you're not even good for that, you're barren.

You should be grateful that--that i haven't abandoned you. You're like mules, barren, sterile, you're good for nothing.

Ana: well, i better go, i don't want to be late. Gaudencio: don't leave me talking alone!

Ana: gaudencio: you ruin my day with your nonsense. Petra: hurry up, son, i don't want you to be late on your first day of classes.

Mateo: mom, calm down, on the bike i get there super fast. Ana: mateo.

Oh, i thought i wouldn't catch you. Mateo: i'm still here, aunt.

Ana: oh. Mateo: i really can't deal with the two of you, you're more nervous than me.

Ana: oh, today is a new beginning for you. You're a real man, mateo, i feel very proud of you.

Mateo: thanks, aunt. Petra: go brush your teeth, i don't want you to be late.

Mateo: what happened to your face? Ana: ah, no, no, no, it's nothing, come on, obey your mom.

Go. Petra: what are you doing here?

And then, with that bruise. It must have been the good-for-nothing gaudencio, right?

Ana: yes, it was him. But i didn't want to miss this important day for my-- petra: nephew, ana, because that's what he is, don't forget it.

Mateo: okay, i'm leaving. Petra: in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit.

Mateo: amen. See you, mom.

Petra: bye, my love. Conrado: come on, candy, don't play hard to get, accept being my girlfriend.

Candy: i already told you that i don't like you, conrado. Besides, i already have a boyfriend.

Conrado: i'm much better than mateo. Listen to me.

Come on, candy, listen to me, please. Candy: let go of me, conrado, you're hurting me.

Conrado: i can make you happy. Mateo: can't you hear, you idiot?

Leave her alone. Don't you ever come near my girlfriend again.

Xóchitl: let him go, you stupid brat! Mateo: he started with my girlfriend.

Xóchitl: how dare you hit my son? You're a bastard!

Mateo: what are you talking about? Xóchitl: that you're a damn bastard!

You're not the son of petra and jaime. Your real mother is the whore ana, and i should know, since i'm the one who brought you into the world.

Bastard! That's what you are, a bastard.

Let's go, son. Jaime: come on, or else we'll be late, and the bus will leave me.

What's wrong, son, what are you doing here? Petra: why aren't you at school?

Mateo: it's just that the midwife just said in front of the whole town that i'm a bastard, that neither of you is my father. Petra: that's a lie, of course we're your parents, my love.

Mateo: she's the midwife who brought me into the world, she said that my real mother is my aunt ana. Why did you lie to me?

She's right. I'm a bastard, i hate you.

Petra: no, no, mateo, please. Mateo, let me talk, please, mateo.

Mateo, please. Jaime: woman, please, don't insist.

Mateo won't understand reason right now. Petra: my son, my son...

Gaudencio: damn whore, now i know why so much love for mateo. Ana: let go of me!

Gaudencio: listen to me! I know he's not your nephew.

He's your son, the bastard is your son. Ana: gaudencio: you cheated on me all these years when i went to the other side to work.

Ana: how did you find out? How do you know my secret?

Who else knows? Gaudencio: the whole town knows.

How did i know, how did i know? Ana: gaudencio: i'm going to get out of this house, i'm going to get out of this town, if possible.

But not before... Ana: no, please, no.

Gaudencio: beating you to death. Ana: no, no.

How is mateo? Petra: what do you want here, ana?

Ana: the people in town already know the truth. Xóchitl shouted it point-blank, without mercy.

Petra: how do you want him to be? Ana: please, petra, let me talk to him.

Petra: no, ana. And i want you to stay away from my son.

This is something that jaime and i are going to fix as a family. Understand it.

You gave up mateo before he was even born. Ana: no, no, you know very well that that's not how it was.

Please, let me talk to him. Petra: like that?

With those bruises you want to explain to him? Look at yourself, ana, you're pathetic.

I don't want you near my son. I am his mother, i raised him.

Ana: and i will always be grateful for the love you have given him. You are his mother, but so am i.

Please, petra, let's do this together. Petra: i already told you no.

Get out of my house. Ana: mateo, son, we need to talk.

Son, mateo. Mateo: don't call me son.

Because if you had loved me as a son, you wouldn't have abandoned me. Ana: i was a fool and you don't know how much i regret it.

Mateo: now i understand why you showed so much interest in me, in my things. Remorse wouldn't leave you alone, right?

You're a hypocrite. Ana: no, no, son, i had no other option, you couldn't stay with me.

Mateo: and i don't want you to come near me. Ana: professor: mateo, you're late, change quickly and start warming up.

Mateo: sorry, "profe". No, no, i don't think it's right for the bastard to play on the team, profe.

He's just going to bring bad luck, right? All: yes, yes.

You already see what they say in the town, that he is the son of sin and infidelity. Yes, we don't want the bastard, get him out of here now.

If mateo plays on the team, i quit. Mateo: well, get out if you want, no one here needs you.

I'm going to be on the team and that's it. If the bastard is on the team, i quit too.

Me too. I don't want that one near me.

Choose, profe, if mateo is going to be on the team, we all quit. Yes, nobody wants him.

Professor: okay, okay, silence, guys, please, calm down, we must be understanding. No, no, no, teacher, us or him.

Choose. Professor: i'm sorry, mateo, you won't be able to be part of the soccer team.

Look, you better leave. Get out of here, bastard.

Mateo: you're all idiots! All of you are idiots.

You're a bastard. Get out of here, bastard.

Mateo: ana, ana, open up. I need, in fact...

I demand you tell me who my father is. Ana: why do you want to know?

It's not worth it, mateo. Mateo: enough with the lies, ana.

Tell me who my father is, i need to know what genes i carry. What if i am the son of a monster?

Ana: no, no, no, of course not. Mateo: you told me that it was a bad man who deceived you.

Why was he bad? What happened between you two?

Ana: i met your father shortly after gaudencio went to the united states. He gradually conquered me while i was working as a cook.

He made me fall in love. But he only wanted to sleep with me.

So when i told him i was pregnant, he rejected me. I didn't want to lose you, son.

From the moment i knew i was pregnant, i loved you and it will always be like that. That man only did reject me and--and give me money to abort you, but never for a second did it cross my mind to abort you.

Mateo: who is that man? Tell me now.

Ana: fermín cisneros, the owner of the la fortaleza ranch. Mateo, son.

Mateo: you are nothing to me. I hate you, ana.

I hate you. Open up!

Fermín cisneros, open up, you damn coward! Open up!

Fermín cisneros! Fermín: what's wrong with you?

What do you want? Mateo: i come to take possession of what is mine because i am your son.

I am the bastard you had with ana rivera rosas and i come to demand my right, what belongs to me. Fermín: what nonsense are you saying?

Mateo: the truth. I am the bastard you had with ana rivera, i am your son.

Fermín: you have no right, you are not my son. As they say in the town, you are the son of a offered whore, the bastard.

Get out and don't ever set foot on this hacienda again. Shameless man, get out, because if you don't, i swear i'll kill you.

Mateo: gaudencio: what's coming? I'm not going.

Gaudencio: felipe: three sevens. Gaudencio: i won.

Felipe: cheater, cheater. Gaudencio: no, why?

Felipe: give me my money back. Gaudencio: cheater why?

Here, the one who has no luck is you. Felipe: no, if here the only one who has bad luck is you.

Gaudencio: oh, yeah, why? Felipe: ana, made you tamales with goat meat.

Gaudencio: shut up. Felipe: if even a bastard came out.

Gaudencio: shut up, felipe! Federico: well, i'm not going to shut up if i'm telling the truth.

What? Didn't you realize that ana and the boss had a bastard?

If the whole town knows it, don't they? And you, they call you the deer...

All: the deer, the deer. Gaudencio: shut up.

Felipe: if the boss fermín had a child with ana. And you couldn't even do that.

Gaudencio: you don't know what you're talking about! Huh?

I'm going to shut your mouth with blows. Felipe: what's wrong with you?

Gaudencio: let me go! Ana: mateo, son.

Gaudencio: no, i'm not your bastard. Ana: what do you want here, gaudencio?

Gaudencio: everyone in this town makes fun of me. They call me...

They call me "the deer" because i have the horns well placed and i'm not going to allow that. Ana: please, get out of here, leave me alone.

Between you and me there is nothing. Gaudencio: it's easy for you, right?

Nothing happened here. Good thing i didn't have children with a vixen like you.

Ana: you always told me that i was like mules, that i was dry, but now i hope that it's clear to you that the one who can't have children is you. You're the one with problems.

Gaudencio: shut up. Ana: gaudencio: i don't have any problem.

Ana: it's the last time you hit me, no more. I won't allow it again.

Never! Gaudencio: you want to see that i do?

You want to see that i do? Stupid.

Ana: leave me alone, go away! Go away!

Gaudencio: i swear you're going to pay for this. I'm going to make you cry tears of blood and i'm going to take it out on what hurts you the most.

I swear to you, ana. Ana: mateo: candy, what are you doing with that jerk?

Candy: conrado is my boyfriend. Mateo: are you serious?

After i defended you from him? Candy: my parents won't let me be your girlfriend anymore.

Mateo: but, candy-- conrado: hey, bastard, don't you understand she doesn't want you bothering her? Here in town, you're an outcast and nobody wants you around.

You should just disappear. Mateo: i'm fed up with you!

And your mommy isn't here to def-- mateo! Leave your classmate alone.

Come with me, let's go to the principal's office with the social worker. Alejandra: i'm alejandra díaz, the social worker at the school.

Ana: i'm ana rivera, the mom. Well, mateo's aunt.

Alejandra: i know who you are. Everyone in town knows.

Ana: oh, the people in town and their gossip make me sick, they judge without knowing. Alejandra: ma'am, i don't want to judge you, on the contrary, i'm here to help you.

What's happening to mateo is a very hard blow to his physical and emotional state. So, as they grow up, they dispel their doubts and the truth doesn't provoke this feeling of hatred or, even worse, it doesn't provoke them to feel like the bastard.

Ana: now i know i should have told the truth, but i'm willing to earn his heart and little by little let him get close to me. Virgin of guadalupe, my mother, please, help me so that mateo can forgive me the mistake i made by keeping him away from my arms.

May he understand that i only wanted his well-being, but that i love him, i love him as his mother that i am, and may my sister petra understand that i don't want to steal the love of her son. I just want to share with her that beautiful feeling.

Help me, mother, so that mateo stops feeling like the bastard. Mateo: that's the wretch fermín cisneros.

Dad, will you buy me a chocolate ice cream with strawberry? Fermín: you know i will, champ, you ask for it, that's what your dad is for.

Mateo: what's up, dad? Oh, don't tell me that's your other son.

Who are you? Why does he call you dad?

Mateo: because i'm his bastard son, right, dad? Fermín: don't talk nonsense.

You are nothing of mine, get out of here. Mateo: as you say, dad.

Goodbye, little brother. Let's see, explain what this is.

I'm not going to come to live in this town to be the laughingstock of everyone. Who was that kid?

Fermín: he's a drooling brat. I swear i have nothing to do with him.

You know how towns are, they're full of gossip. You better, fermín, because if not, i'm going to divorce you, i swear.

Can you buy me an ice cream? Gaudencio: what's up?

Did you send for me? What am i good for?

Fermín: well, look, it came out direct. Gaudencio: ey.

Fermín: you know what happened between ana and me when you were in the united states, right? Gaudencio: yes.

Damn slut. Fermín: well, what do you think if we fix the sin?

If we remove the mistake from the path, then? I'm going to give you all this money, i'm going to give you land to plant, but with one condition.

Gaudencio: which one? Fermín: you have to get rid of the bastard.

Kill him, boom. Do you accept?

Gaudencio: ana: mateo. Mateo: please, leave me alone, leave me alone.

Ana: listen to me, please-- mateo: i don't understand why you went to my school. Leave me alone, ana.

Ana: mateo, i went to talk to the social worker. I'm trying to get closer to you, son, so you can forgive me.

Mateo: stop wasting your time, i hate you. Ana: well, i love you, i love you and for you i would give my life one and a thousand times.

Mateo: i still can't believe you risked your life for me. You didn't care about dying in order to save me.

I feel very bad, i was very unfair to you, to my parents and all they've done since i was born was love me. But i was very angry.

It angered me that people called me a bastard, that they pointed at me, that they made me feel less. Now i understand everything you felt when fermín cheated on you.

Forgive me. Forgive me for having told you such horrible things.

I don't hate you, i could never do it. Wake up.

Please. Wake up, i need you, mom.

Ana: mom? Mateo: yes, because that is what you are and i want you close to me.

Ana: thank you very much, mateo, thank you. Both: i love you.

Ana: i love you so much. Petra: how do you feel, ana?

Ana: like a truck ran over me. Both: jaime: and the good thing is that they already caught that gaudencio wretch.

He confessed that it was fermín who ordered mateo to be killed. He's going to spend many years in jail, you'll see.

Petra: thank you for saving our son, thank you. Ana: that's right, petra, our son.

We love you, we are your two moms. Petra: now i see everything.

I was jealous that he would take away my love. But mateo has a big heart.

Mateo: and i can give all the love to my two moms. Jaime: what about me?

Mateo: you too, dad. Ana: mateo: you are the best, i love you.

And i'm never going to feel like the bastard again. Ana: the arrival of a child is always a reason for love and happiness, even when it has been conceived in complicated situations.

A mother is willing to take her son out of her arms so that he is safe. But secrets over time are discovered causing fury and pain to those involved.

It is always important to tell them the truth about their origin to our children so that when they know they are adopted they don't feel unloved or rejected and thus avoid being called the bastard. ♪ from the sky a beautiful morning from the sky a beautiful morning the guadalupana the guadalupana the guadalupana went down to tepeyac juan dieguito the virgin told him juan dieguito the virgin told him this hill i choose this hill i choose this hill i choose to make my altar the guadalupana the guadalupana the guadalupana went down to tepeyac ♪
