-
Unhand that boy!
-
You better stay put!
-
Omar, think about what you're doing!
-
Have you ever seen a mare following
their foal wherever it goes?
-
So you should follow me, now.
-
You're not getting out of here with my baby!
-
Lead the way if you want.
-
But we're leaving right now!
-
You said all that because your grandma is leaving?
-
Daddy, please, let her stay!
-
Look, Mayita, I think you're old enough
to understand what I'm about to tell you.
-
You're a smart girl. You understand
what grown ups say, right?
-
I-I think so...
-
You know your grandmother has always
-
said things to put you against me.
-
And she's been doing it
-
ever since your mom disappeared at sea.
-
When we all thought she was dead.
-
Your grandma told you I killed her, remember?
-
Yes, I remember...
-
And she wanted to take you with her,
-
leaving me alone in the house.
-
Do you think that's a good deed?
-
No... But she's sick now!
-
That's what she says,
-
and I can't deny it,
-
that's why I told her to take a few days,
-
and today's the final day.
-
But she's still leaving...
-
Did your grandma tell you to speak with me?
-
No, she didn't say anything like that!
-
She just told me she would miss me a lot...
-
I told her I would miss her too...
-
Even though you told me I could visit her
wherever she went to.
-
And I still say that, you'll visit her
whenever you want.
-
But I won't be able to see her everyday!
-
That's what makes me sad...
-
I love my grandma... I don't want to lose her...
-
I believe you, sweetheart.
-
If it makes you sad that she leaves the house,
-
I promise I'll do something about it.
-
Thank you daddy!
-
You're the best dad ever!
-
And you're the best daughter, who
we all love so much...
-
That's not gonna happen, Omar.
-
Now give me back my baby!
-
Stand aside, Marichuy.
-
Come on, give him back!
-
I told you, stand aside!
-
I'll take the boy with me, and you'll follow.
-
Did you forget he's sick or what?
-
The doctor said he shouldn't be exposed,
-
now give him back!
-
Give him back already!
-
Do you want me to get mad enough
-
to start beating you up or what?
-
You were sneaking out the house last night.
-
I don't know what you're talking about-
-
It was you!
-
Who else could it be?
-
You were wearing a scandalous dress...
-
You snuck out of the house!
-
Where were you headed to?
-
Answer me! Are you deaf?
-
Answer right now!
-
Were you the woman in the garden last night?
-
I can't answer, I don't know
what you're talking about .
-
I think Juan Miguel should hear this.
-
Please no, he's got his hands full.
-
The last thing he needs are more problems.
-
It might have been me, but...
-
It wasn't really 'me' me...
-
It must have been...
-
You're telling me that woman is
your alleged split personality?
-
Is that it?
-
My sweet pea...
You're a savage, you know?
-
Even more than me!
-
It's almost like you're heartless...
-
Don't insult me, now...
-
You wanted to take away my dear baby!
-
I just wanted to get you to follow me!
-
Well, that's not gonna happen! Now, get lost!
-
You're a bad guy, you know?
-
If I'm a bad guy, then you're an ingrate, lying,
teasing she-devil!
-
You don't know how much I want
to slap you silly right now!
-
Did you forget everything I've done,
everything I've given you?
-
Are you so petty to bring up the food you gave me?
-
No, I wouldn't!
-
But the love I gave you is a different matter!
-
For the life of your child, and for your own!
-
Well, I'll be thankful all my life!
-
But after your scene here,
I don't wanna hear about you, got it?
-
Marichuy, please...
-
I'll leave this with any man but you! Take that!
-
You're such an ingrate! Ingrate!
-
Ow!
-
Marichuy has a baby...
-
And I'll leave you all alone...
-
That's enough, Nelson.
-
Elsa...
-
Please, Nelson...
-
The palm of your hand holds the warmth of life...
-
Elsa, don't stay alone...
-
Come on, Nelson...
-
You don't need to be loyal to a memory...
-
Don't grieve me when I'm gone...
-
I don't want to talk about that.
-
Try to rebuild your life, look for love once more...
-
Get what I couldn't give you...
-
Nelson, I beg of you...
-
I'll feel better if you promise...
-
Promise me you won't end up alone...
-
Gaining the favor of that murderer...
-
I believe you need to change
your attitude with her.
-
You expect me to gloss over the fact
that she killed my daughter?
-
No, not at all.
-
All you need to do is pretend to be...
-
Confused, with everything that's happened.
-
Quite understandable. In the mean time...
-
We'll find a way to... 'erase' Blanca.
-
So it's true you've got a split personality?
-
Yes, ma'am. It's something I can't control.
-
It makes me do evil things without me knowing.
-
Did you really see me sneaking around
the garden last night?
-
I did. I saw you and you were dressed
in a very... scandalous manner.
-
Wearing loud clothes and with messy hair...
-
I wasn't close, but I could see it was you.
-
I don't know what I did.
-
I don't know where I went.
-
But it probably harmed someone.
-
My god, what's wrong with me?
-
You haven't tried to be better?
-
You don't know how much I've tried...
-
But I can't... Please forgive me, Mrs. Onelia!
-
I'm begging you...
-
In my current state, I would have never
done any harm to your daughter!
-
It was this evil being inside me!
That subdues and dominates me!
-
Please, forgive me! Forgive me!
-
Juan Miguel should have known
-
that your alleged disorder can't be cured...
-
It's not a lie! It's a real disorder!
-
Please stop doubting me...
-
Please don't tell Juan Miguel about last night...
-
If what you say it's true, you shouldn't be
allowed to roam around-
-
Please, give me time...
-
Perhaps, Juan Miguel is close to
discovering the root of all this...
-
And I'll finally be cured!
-
You have to make a decision...
-
And I believe it would be for the best
-
if you got out of Juan Miguel's way.
-
I can't promise anything.
-
Now's not the time, so please stop.
-
Heed my advice, Elsa.
-
If you get the opportunity to be happy...
-
Which I- Which I'm sure will happen...
-
Don't let it go.
-
Take it. Start a family.
-
Just like you always wanted.
-
Be happy. Have children.
-
Should your future husband allow it,
-
name one after me.
-
Nelson...
-
And when you visit my grave...
-
Take them there. I might not be able to see them...
-
But maybe I'll be able to feel their presence.
-
Don't live alone. After I'm gone...
-
Don't stay alone...
-
How could you hit me!?
-
I just reacted in self-defense!
-
I didn't mean to harm you!
-
You knew you were going to hurt me!
-
No, I wouldn't-
-
Get out! Don't make me bring out the broom!
-
I'm sorry! I reacted due to the pain!
-
And anyway, Marichuy made me do it!
-
Oh yeah? I never thought you'd be such an ass!
-
You only came here for this or what?
-
I came here desperate for your love!
-
I can't bear losing you!
-
I love you too much!
-
Oh yeah? Now leave!
-
Now that I see that you can't understand
my feelings for you, fine.
-
I'll leave you alone.
-
Goodbye, forever!
-
Does it hurt?
-
No, Cande...
-
He hit you right in the kisser!
-
I wanted to grab him by the neck-
-
And snap it like this!
-
-You know what?
-Huh?
-
I'll go get him and kick him in the shins!
-
No, Cande, leave him be!
-
But, Marichuy-
-
That's fine, finally one of them leaves my life!
-
It's fine, Juan Miguel and my parents
will leave me, too!
-
I better get used to being alone.
-
Don't you dare leave me!
-
I would never do that...
-
What's the matter, Blanca? Feeling well?
-
I feel strange...
-
Juan Miguel, could you take me to a hospital?
-
It would be better if I was locked up.
-
Being locked up would worsen your condition.
-
But Ivette-
-
We agreed to never speak of her again, right?
-
Blanca, there's no need to be upset.
-
You have me right here.
-
I won't leave you alone.
-
Are you sure, Juan Miguel?
-
You'll never leave me?
-
Well well, about time you showed up!
-
Hello.
-
You're an hour late!
-
Ramon is waiting for you!
-
I'm sorry...
-
It's that baby again, right?
-
Sometimes grown ups are
as troublesome as babies.
-
I'm ready for the rehearsal.
-
Get going.
-
Thank you.
-
I'm very sorry, boss.
-
That plan backfired, Cosme.
-
My advise didn't cover what you did.
-
It was self-defense! I didn't mean it!
-
But she took it like I really wanted to do it!
-
And so did Lala! What they said really got to me.
-
She kicked me out of her house,
told me she didn't want to see me ever again...
-
She suddendly became a beast
when I tried to take her son.
-
What happens now? You're returning to the ranch?
-
She called me a vandal savage! Which I am!
-
Of course I am!
-
Marichuy surely hates me now!
-
So, you've been crying?
-
Is it that obvious?
-
Sometimes tears make women's eyes
more beautiful.
-
They acquire a special clearness...
-
That's what yours look like.
-
Ready? Let's begin.
-
I shall never leave you, believe me.
-
But you go so often to Marichuy's house...
-
Blanca, my son is there,
I can't just leave him.
-
You told me you loved me.
-
Let's not talk about it, Blanca.
-
-I'm so scared, Juan Miguel-
-Your fears are another matter.
-
Try to understand.
-
As far as-
-
That's not the only reason.
-
There's something else.
-
What is it?
-
Could you lock the door in my bedroom,
the one that leads to the garden,
-
In such a way that can't be
opened from the inside?
-
Why would I?
-
I can't tell you... Please just do it.
-
Do it today, I'm really scared...
-
Hi, brother!
-
It's been a long day!
-
Did you visit Marichuy?
-
Yeah, sit down, I gotta tell you everything.
-
I saw your son, he's sooo cute!
-
I talked with Marichuy about you,
-
but she was in a hurry to leave for a rehearsal.
-
What did you tell her?
-
That she shouldn't have hid the fact
she was pregnant,
-
that she can't stop you from
from taking care of your son!
-
But, do you know why she's like that?
-
She's afraid you'll take him away.
-
Take him away?
-
Thank you, Federico!
-
Even if my life were to end this very moment,
-
I would part content after hearing
what you had to say.
-
Would you return to the forest?
-
No, it's too late, Rosalia.
-
In that place, all I had was hunger and fear!
-
Now I only hunger for you!
-
Olga!
-
Olga!
-
Sorry to bother you, I've been meaning
to talk with you for a while now.
-
What for?
-
I wanted to say sorry.
-
I was wrong to tell my son Adrian
to stop seeing Purita,
-
that they wouldn't be happy together.
-
It's true, Clemencia, you were wrong.
-
Nobody should meddle in a couple's affairs.
-
Not even mama hen, like you.
-
I admit, I shouldn't have been so meddlesome.
-
I wanted to tell you I'm sorry.
-
I've already forgave you...
-
I'm a mother too, I understand you wanted
the best for your son...
-
But the best for him was being with Purita!
-
They loved each other so much...
-
But now they've decided to live apart...
-
We're in the middle of a rehearsal!
-
Line!
-
Do I scare you?
-
With feeling!
-
Do I scare you?
-
This night, you do.
-
This night is not like any other.
-
There's a mysterious presence in the air.
-
Can you feel it, Rosalia?
-
I do, Federico!
-
I am scared too, for I could have never
known of its existance.
-
I don't want that, gran-gran,
-
I don't want grandma Onelia to leave!
-
I'll miss her too much!
-
You shouldn't get ahead of yourself, Mayita.
-
We have to wait and see.
-
I'm sure your dad is so understanding,
-
he might forgive her.
-
Can't you guide his conscience?
-
Please tell him to forgive her,
-
so that we become a happy family again!
-
Yes, Federico, there is a third mystery,
-
one that feels like facing God himself,
-
one that feels like facing death.
-
Say another word! I want to hear you speak!
-
There is no need, my dear.
-
That word, when it is true,
is better spoken in silence.
-
Just like this!
-
She's kissing another man!
-
That kiss must be more intense!
-
More passionate!
-
I want you to hold it until the curtain falls.
-
You're also tripping over your first lines.
-
Tomorrow, you'll recite it all from memory!
-
Understood?
-
Yes sir.
-
That'll be all for today. You can leave.
-
See you tomorrow, Ramon.
-
Come in.
-
You!?
-
Who did you think it was?
-
Your Romeo? Is that why
you let me in so quickly?
-
I should have known.
-
You came to the rehearsal to snoop around.
-
Why are you here?
-
To talk things out calmly.
-
Doesn't look like you'll do that-
-
How do you think I feel after seeing
what just happened there?
-
Do you think I'll stay calm?
-
What did you see, exactly?
-
You kissed that guy!
-
Ramon?
-
And you call him by name. Must be close to you.
-
That kiss was part of the play,
-
and if that upset you, tough.
-
It was just a rehearsal for a play.
-
For a rehearsal, it sure looked like a real kiss.
-
You're wrong there, Amador didn't like
our performance.
-
I heard him. He wanted more spark,
-
more passion, and you have to hold it
until the curtain falls.
-
Do you know how long you'll be kissing him?
-
You kept count?
-
Don't be so cynical, Marichuy.
-
Don't be so silly!
-
Silly? Me?
-
Yes! Making a big deal of a kiss on a play!
-
A two-minute long kiss.
-
So you were keeping count!
-
You two going at it in front of everyone!
-
You'd rather we kiss in the dark-
-
Stop saying nonsense.
-
Deal with it, Juan Miguel,
-
now make like a tree and stop
making it harder for me to-
-
I just can't allow that!
-
And who are you to tell me what to do?
-
I am the father of your child!
-
Where does it say so?
-
Nobody knows, nobody needs to know.
-
Don't bring up the baby.
-
As for me, you don't have the right to
tell me how to do my job!
-
Well, you better forget about playing pretend,
-
because I won't allow the mother of my son
to kiss a stranger every other day.
-
First of all, we do it every other night.
-
Do you think you can do
whatever you want with me?
-
Just like you.
-
Your life is yours, mine is mine.
-
You don't have to get all up in my business.
-
You're gonna have to let me in.
-
I won't do it!
-
If you don't, I'll take the baby!
-
Look, just like new!
-
I've done it, father!
-
Done what, Clemencia?
-
Saying sorry to Olga.
-
Did you really mean it?
-
We're on good terms again,
-
Olga ha forgiven me!
-
Well, I'm glad it turned out alright.
-
Maybe now God will smile upon you,
-
and Adrian will come back and forgive you too.
-
I hope so!
-
You can't do this to me!
-
You can't take my boy away!
-
He's my son too!
-
You can't take him away no matter what you do!
-
I might.
-
No one can take a child from his mother. No one!
-
A mother who plays the part
and stays by his side, no.
-
But a mother that abandons him to-
-
I've never abandoned him!
-
That boy was alone when he got sick!
-
And while that boy was burning up in fever,
-
the great actress was on stage kissing strangers!
-
How could I know he got sick!?
-
And don't try to paint me as a tramp,
-
there's nothing wrong with what I do!
-
It is to me.
-
Lies! If it was someone else, you'd respect her,
-
but when it's Miguelita, you flip out!
-
You know what, think whatever you want.
-
You have to renounce theater.
-
Do you think my dad will let her stay?
-
There's a chance he might.
-
I saw her cry!
-
She's sad because she won't see me anymore!
-
If that's what your heart tells you to do,
-
then do it, my dear!
-
I know she'll behave now!
-
I have a good feeling about this,
-
but your grandma Onelia has to show
that she has changed!
-
She must understand she has hurt others,
-
and she has to be truly sorry in order to change
-
and have people believe her!
-
I'll provide for you so
you won't have to work ever again!
-
I don't want anything from you!
-
You're gonna take it, want it or not.
-
We'll see about that!
-
Marichuy, you'll stay home with our son,
-
instead of going there to bare it all-
-
Do you really care for the boy?
-
Of course!
-
Liar! You're just jealous of every man
-
that comes in contact with me!
-
Yes! Just so you know, I really am jealous!
-
Then I have to break it to you,
-
you won't get anything from threatening me!
-
I'll keep performing every night,
-
and this play I'm rehearsing? It's next in line.
-
I'll play my role, no matter what!
-
Your only role is that of a mother!
-
I take care of my son just fine,
-
I don't need you to tell me how to raise him!
-
I bet you don't give that baby enough of your time.
-
Because you decide to focus on your plays, I can-
-
You ain't doing nothing! You won't take my son away!
-
Don't you dare, you'll regret it!
-
I can and I will!
-
I'll start processing the documents
if you don't do what I say!
-
You'll have to kill me first!
-
Otherwise, I will kill you!
-
Give me that.
-
I hate you, you miserable bastard!
-
Bravo! Excellent scene!
-
I hope this is your last performance.
-
You've been warned. I think you know
what's best for you.
-
Dedication to your son, or to acting.
-
Thank you, Balbina.
-
So, about your wedding gift...
-
Oh, don't worry.
-
We'll have a list up
on a few department stores.
-
Oh, then set aside some silverware on my name.
-
That'll be my gift.
-
Stop kidding around! Silverware is too expensive!
-
It's not like I'll go bankrupt over buying that!
-
Oh, Juan Miguel!
-
I'm glad you're here.
-
Please, come with me.
-
Where?
-
You too, Rocío.
-
What happened, Juan?
-
I need to witnesses, and you'll do.
-
Two witnesses? What for?
-
To register my son.
-
I'll recognise him legally.
-
I'll go fetch the documents I need,
-
then we'll head for the registry.
-
He's ok now, but you have no idea
how sick he was!
-
Was it a high fever?
-
Oh yeah, but his father...
-
Um, I mean, Dr. San Roman...
-
Why are you correcting yourself?
-
He is the father of this child!
-
Yeah, I know, but Marichuy doesn't
want me to say so.
-
Father! Good thing you're here!
-
I came to visit your little angel.
-
I heard he was sick.
-
Father... Juan Miguel wants to take him away!
-
What!?
-
Juan Miguel wants to take him away!
-
Juan Miguel went to the theater,
-
he saw the rehearsal,
-
he told me I must quit acting or
he'll take away my baby!
-
Ridiculous!
-
I refuse to believe it!
-
You think I'm lying!?
-
No, Maria de Jesus, that's not what I meant.
-
I just can't believe it.
-
Well, he did.
-
He says he can accuse me of neglecting my baby
-
because of my job at the theater.
-
He said what?
-
That's a lie bigger than a cathedral!
-
You dote on your son,
-
everything you did was for him!
-
So he really did threaten you?
-
With getting the law involved, father.
-
Do you see why I didn't want him
to find out about my son?
-
I knew this would happen!
-
Don't despair.
-
Juan Miguel is probably trying to scare you.
-
He wants you to do what he says,
but I doubt he'll follow up on his threats.
-
I can't get too confident, I will not stop working!
-
I won't go live in his house, living off his money,
-
while he goes and marries some other broad!
-
Well, that's done for.
-
I'm not so sure that was the right thing to do...
-
What, giving my name to my son? Why not?
-
You did that because you had a fight with Marichuy.
-
They told you at the registry.
-
The document is temporary,
-
you have to take the baby there
when he's in good health.
-
It's required so that-
-
At the very least it's official,
-
I've had a son with Maria de Jesus.
-
And he was conceived during our marriage.
-
A marriage that was nulled due to
unusual circumstances.
-
Now, there's going to be an investigation
-
until it's proven that the baby is mine,
and I have rights over him.
-
It's just that-
-
Rocío, please understand.
-
Marichuy is capable of taking my son far away
-
just so I never get to see him again.
-
She's afraid you'll take the baby away!
-
I never thought about taking him away!
-
But my son has to bear my last name
and be under my care.
-
I know you wouldn't do it.
-
But you told her you would!
-
That's exactly what you shouldn't have done.
-
Yes, I went to the theater to calm her down.
-
But she was right to call me out on my jealousy.
-
I'll admit I got mad seeing her kiss that guy!
-
You're just being silly now.
-
Being jealous of an actor!
-
They were just rehearsing a play!
-
I... You know I love Marichuy a lot.
-
I know, and that's my point.
-
You're such a goof!
-
I love her so much...
-
The good news is, Olga and Clemencia
finally reconciled.
-
The best thing Clemencia did
was say she was sorry.
-
Come on now, Maria de Jesus.
-
Forget about San Roman and take it easy.
-
I can't, father.
-
Juan Miguel is taking away my son!
-
What could I do?
-
No court will take your son away, that's nuts!
-
When Juan Miguel said he could,
he must be able to back it up.
-
What if he does? I'll die on the spot if he does!
-
I'll baptize him. That's it!
-
I'll get him baptized and have him
recognized as MY son.
-
And whose last name will he have?
-
Mine, of course!
-
Your last name is Velarde,
-
for the judge who is your one and only father!
-
Not that one! The one they gave me
at the orphanage.
-
What are you gonna tell the kid
-
when he grows up and asks about his father?
-
You'll tell him he was an orphan?
-
That you don't know who his father is?
-
That his father left him and doesn't want
anything to do with him?
-
I didn't mean to overhear, Juan Miguel.
-
I hope it's alright with you.
-
You love Marichuy, and you can't marry me
while you love her, right?
-
You can say it to my face, without any shame.
-
You had a child with her, you love her...
-
What am I in your life, then?
-
No one, Juan Miguel. That's how it is.
-
No one.
-
I don't know what to tell you, Blanca.
-
The truth. I want the truth!
-
The truth hurts, sometimes. It benefits no one.
-
What's the point?
-
Would a lie be much better?
-
Have I ever lied to you?
-
No, never.
-
Like you've never said you loved me.
-
I told you, my feelings towards you
-
and my feelings towards Marichuy
are completely different.
-
There is no point of comparison.
-
I told you we needed each other.
-
There's a fondness, an understanding,
-
and the sincere desire to achieve a
little happiness.
-
But, do you think that's enough?
-
For me, it is.
-
But you don't love me. You love her.
-
Can't you forget what you just heard?
-
If you can't, you'll hurt us both.
-
It's just that...
-
If you love her so much,
why would settle for me?
-
Settle? That's not the right word, Blanca.
-
I've got everthing you give to me!
-
I wish to fill my life with your kindness!
-
It's like taking a flower into a pot
until it dries up.
-
Do you understand how I feel?
-
It's just, that flower you mentioned is not dried up.
-
It has strong branches, it's roots dig deep.
-
It still dies in the end.
-
The hand that tended to it
will leave due to it's thorns.
-
Juan Miguel... Are you sure?
-
That Marichuy doesn't love you?
-
Please, help me!
-
I need your help to baptize my baby!
-
And with the registry of the name
I had at the orphanage.
-
The baptism is no problem.
-
Just set a date, and we're done.
-
I could baptize him right now, if you wanted.
-
But the registry will be a bigger issue.
-
If you want to make it official,
-
you have to go there with the baby and his father!
-
No, that won't do! I'll register as a single mother,
-
and I'll give him my last name!
-
No papers say I'm the daughter of
Mrs. Cecilia or Judge Velarde!
-
Alright! I'll try to help you with this,
-
but I can't guarantee I succeed.
-
Hurry up, then!
-
Everything's gonna be fine, you'll see.
-
You just gotta be willing to help!
-
You already know I've always done
everything you've asked me to do!
-
So don't go on that "gotta be willing" nonsense!
-
What I'm telling you is that
this isn't going to be easy.
-
We're talking about registering your
son with the government!
-
Alright then, hurry up!
-
I know you can do it! The sooner the better!
-
Alright, Maria de Jesus.
-
Can you get back to me as soon
as you work it out, please?
-
I'll keep you updated.
-
One for the road.
-
Take them all if you want!
-
Bye-bye.
-
You don't need to follow me.
-
Where's father Anselmo?
-
He just left.
-
He went to find out how to
register and baptize my baby for real.
-
Marichuy loved me until not too long ago.
-
But it looks like she doesn't love me anymore.
-
And why do you say that?
-
Not too long ago, she wanted
to reunite with me.
-
She came here, but she found out my
first wife was found alive.
-
When I was accused of her murder, she came back.
-
But by then-
-
I arrived in your life.
-
I want you to know it's not your fault.
-
Somewhere along my life, I lost Marichuy's love.
-
When she said she hated me.
-
Because of the baby?
-
Our last arguement was particularly heated.
-
Marichuy has changed a lot.
-
Maybe it's Omar's influence.
-
Omar?
-
Yes, she was going to marry him.
-
She saw something in him.
-
And now he's here, pursuing her.
-
Trying to win her over, and I think he'll do it.
-
Does that hurt you?
-
Blanca, please...
-
If Marichuy took you back
-
-everything would be different
-Why talk about it?
-
Why bring it up if it won't happen?
-
I don't want to get in the way
of your happiness.
-
You don't have to feel chained to me.
-
You're free to go for Marichuy. To try-
-
That's enough, Blanca.
-
I know she's the love of your life,
-
you had a son, I understand-
-
Stop it, Blanca. Please.
-
But it's the truth!
-
I told you that Marichuy hates me now.
-
If I went to the registry, is because I had to.
-
I won't give up on my son!
-
He's the only thing that exists
between Marichuy and me.
-
Funny you'd request that, father.
-
Why? A single mother should be
able to register her child, right?
-
It's not that, it's that the father came,
-
he left a statement in which he
recognizes the child,
-
and that he should bear the San Roman name.
-
Isnt' that right?
-
Yes, but... I can't believe he'd done that.
-
He came here with two witnesses,
-
his sister, Rocío San Roman,
-
and doctor Eduardo Garibay.
-
And how did it turn out?
-
He showed me the marriage records,
-
where he proved his paternity.
-
I gave him a document
-
thet states he is the father of the child,
-
but to register the boy,
he has to come here with the mother.
-
Because the mother was married, not single,
-
and if she accepts Dr. San Roman
as the legitimate father,
-
then the child is registered.
-
Otherwise, we'd have to decide
-
which other legal way there is to register him.
-
But one thing is clear,
-
that boy's last name is San Roman.
