are also invited.

We are not won'thy of such honor,

Capt. Pea.

Unfortunately,

I haven't been feeling well lately.

The President will miss you, seora.

For the rest of you,

this is a party I wouldn't miss.

Have a good day.

Your table is right over there.

No, no, my dear.

El Jefe has invited you to that table.

That's quite an honor.

Go on, my daughter.

Don't worry, we are here.

Here.

There you are.

Enjoy.

It's a pleasure.

- Excellency.

- Don Manuel, how are you?

Ambassador, so good to see you.

No, I've never seen her.

May I have the pleasure?

- You are a beautiful dancer.

- Thank you.

But then again, women from El Cibao

are beautiful dancers.

Is your wife from El Cibao?

I am talking about the national treasure

I'm holding in my arms.

I don't feel much like a national treasure.

Why not? You're a jewel.

I feel like I'm wasting my life

in Ojo de Agua.

You should come to the capital.

That's exactly what I keep telling Papa.

I want to go to law school here.

- Women are not allowed in law school.

- They would be if you said so.

Universities are not good for women.

Your medals are hurting me.

Excuse me.

Is there anything else I can do

to please you?

Release her.

Please, Jefe,

let me take my daughter home.

That was such a stupid thing to do.

I will send a telegram of apology to El Jefe.

He'll understand, Patria.

You're right, Papa.

Do it before things get worse.

What did you want me to do?

He grabbed my ass.

Minerva.

- It was an immediate reaction.

- You don't slap Trujillo.

You should have thought about it.

Maybe if I had thought about it,

I would have done exactly the same thing.

If I let him grab my ass,

next he's gonna grab my breast...

Minerva! I will not tolerate

this language in this house.

Minerva did what her conscience dictated.

No one is to blame for that.

A telegram to apologize. He'll understand.

- Good morning.

- Mr. Enrique Mirabal.

He is my husband. What do you want?

Capt. Pea wants to see him immediately.

Everything all right, Minerva?

Enrique! There is someone looking for you.

Why are you taking him? For how long?

I don't know.

Why you?

Don't worry, Minerva. I'll clear it up.

I'm sorry, Papa.

Take care of your mother, you hear?

You'll be back soon. I promise.

Enrique.

No, I can do nothing else.

We're looking for a prisoner.

Enrique Mirabal.

We've been coming for two weeks,

and you still can't tell us where he is.

Get this document stamped correctly,

then we can help you.

These documents have been

stamped correctly for two days now.

Look again.

Talk to Capt. Pea. He seems to have

a special interest in your case.

I tried to handle it here,
