Are you sure?

I love you, I need you like

the fields need the sun...

I've seen many men like you.

You think I'll throw all this away

foryou?

With all the disgust I feel foryou?

Let go of me!

No, you're not a purebred b*tch

like I thought.

You're a viper, a slut.

You will now know who I am

and what I'm capable of.

I promise you'll find out soon,

even if it kills me!

I promise you!

Let go of me!

Susana, what's wnong?

Come here.

What's the matter?

Why are you crying?

I feel horrible, sir.

Why did I have to bring

discord to this house? Why?

It's not yourfault.

Mrs. Carmen is a saint and I...

I thought it was harsh making

me live with the workers...

but I should have left this house

like she wanted.

Don't even think about it anymore,

it's over.

No, Mrs. Carmen is suffering.

I have to leave, sir.

I have offered you my support,

my affection.

That's the only thing that's

stopping me from leaving.

You look at me like a human being,

not like other men, who...

You felt sorry for me.

Not sorry. I felt affection,

fondness, justice, it's different.

Not sorry.

Maybe that's why I should leave.

Even if it destroys me.

Forgive me, sir.

Get up.

Forgive me, but if I couldn't

see you anymore...

I don't know what I would do.

I want you.

Leave me now.

Madam... Mrs. Carmelita.

You look like the Magdalene.

Take a sip,

it will calm you down.

Leave me alone, Felisa.

Leave me alone,

I need to be alone.

I am alone!

For God's sake.

I beg you, go away.

Don't be afraid.

I had to talk to you, Susana.

Not now,

tomorrow in the fields.

You think I can wait until tomorrow?

Do you not know I love you?

I know, tell me everything

tomorrow.

I don't know if you'll still

be here.

I know my mother

wanted to fire you.

My father is so upset

he's a different man.

They can make you leave

but I can't lose you!

Everything will be fine,

I'm sure.

Now go, it would be horrible

ifthey found us together.

Maybe it's best you leave.

I'll take you to town.

I'll visit you everyday.

You'll have all you want.

Let me go!

We'll talk tomorrow, Alberto.

Now go, let me think.

Go.

- Susana, please.

- See you tomorrow. Go.

Please!

What are you doing here

at this time ofthe night?

I wanted to talk to Susana, father.

What is so important and why

were you forcing her door open?

- Don't say that.

- Answer me!

What do you need to tell her in

the middle ofthe night like a thief?

That's my business

and no one else's.

Are you mad? How dare you

speak to me like that?

- You called me a thief!

- For lack of a better word.

Answer me! What are

you doing here?

I love Susana,

and no one can stop me.

Tomorrow morning

you'll go back to Mexico City.

Now go back to your room

and give me the key to it.

You're going to lock me in?

I'm not a kid anymore

and I'm not afraid of you.

You can deny me anything

but being in love.

Eitheryou obey me or I won't

be responsible for my actions.

I'll leave, but I won't go

back to school.

I'm going to start my life off

with Susana.

What did you say?

If you don't go back to your room

right now, I'll drag you there.

Don't touch me, father,

because if you do...

Alberto!

Come with me, son. Come.

Let me go, mother.

Calm down.

How could you raise a fist

to yourfather? How?

He wanted to hit me,

force me to...

Even so, Alberto.

He's yourfather,

you owe him your life.

He's violent, strict,

but he's not bad.

What was the reason forthat?

You feel guilty about something.

- I don't. You're being unfair.

- Then, tell me.

Tell me, open up.

I'm your mother and I'll help you,

no matterwhat it is.

Trust me, I'll help you.

You didn't do anything

wnong, did you?

First he called me a thief

and then...

- What?

- You make me feel like a criminal.

As if love were a crime.

So, you're in love?

Yes, mother. I'm in love

and it's eternal.

I should have guessed.

After all, you're a man now.

Who is she, son?

If you love her she must be good.

Who is she?

Right? She must be good, right?

I knew you would understand.

It's Susana.

- Mother...

- You too!

What's the matter, mother?

Wait!

Dear God! Dear God!

Tears are forwhat can't

be remedied, madam.

"God helps those

who help themselves."

You have to throw that b*tch out.

God forgive me, but I've felt

like killing her.

I knew she was the devil

and she'd ruin our lives.

Throw her out!

No, Felisa.

Can't you see they're both crazy?

My husband and my son.

I can't believe it.

They would kill each other for her,

they'd go after her.

There must be a way.

Something that will

open their eyes.

God can't forsake me.

No, madam. Throw her out.

As the saying goes:

"Shoot first, ask later."

Throw her out

before it's too late.

I have a hunch,

throw her out.

It's the right moment.

Throw her out!

Dear Lord, I don't ask for

anything for me.

I just want to save the home

you've given me.

Lord, give me yourword

so they'll believe me,

and your hand to open

their eyes.

And give me tigerteeth to...

Get dressed. You'll leave this house

immediately, before I...

Did you hear me? lmmediately.

I'll leave when the master

asks me to.

I'm ordering you

and that's enough.

What if you left

instead of me?

How would that be?

Here, madam.

Don't get your hands dirty.

I'm Christian and I don't want to...

And you're also old.

I'm young and beautiful

and he wants me!

You let her offend you?

Even our Lord threw the merchants

out ofthe temple when he had enough.

Hit her, madam!

If you dare touch me,

I swear I'll make your husband...

throw you out of here.

Carmen, stop!

What have you done?

How could you?

She hates me.

She hates me because

you protect me.

Because I love you.

That's why she wants

to throw me out.

No, you won't be the one

to leave this house.

Father!

You're right.

I should leave.

You're crazy.

You're saying that because

ofthis slut.

There she is.

Just a moment. Come in, sirs.

What do you want?

- And who are these people?

- They come for her, sir.

It's not true!

What?

I'm from the State Reformatory.

This woman escaped ourfacility

and we've been looking for her.

You shouldn't have given

her shelter. She's dangerous.

It's not true! It's not true!

And you knew.

I can't even face you, boss.

And why didn't you say anything?

Do I need to explain?

You're right.

- Officer, proceed with your duty.

- Take her away.

Father!

Damn you!

Let go of me!

I'll tear her eyes out!

Throw her out!

I told you she was the devil.

- Good moming, mother.

- Good morning, son.

Did you sleep well?

I'm sure you'll sleep

bettertonight.

In the bedroom I left you a letter

to say what I can't say face to face.

There you will find

my address in Mexico City.

Son, are you seated at the table

before yourfather again?

It's a beautiful moming,

pure heaven.

- There are no flies even.

- Excuse-me.

What do you want, Jesus?

Come in.

Before leaving I wanted

to come tell you...

that the mare's fever is gone.
