- Sure.

They don't dare kill them.

And you are leaving too.

Yes, but this product will work.

It comes from the United States.

- So it must be good.

- Sure.

Serve your future husband first.

Thank you, Maria.

What's going on with Maria?

Might be the snake repellent.

It smells too strong.

Do you smell it?

Me too, it makes me feel sick.

I don't smell anything.

Really nothing.

Good for you.

Let's spread the anti-dengue

in all the other pools.

I'll do it.

Why not go together?

You can carry on here.

Don't stay out too late!

A quintal.

You soaked the coffee on purpose.

You think I'm stupid?

I didn't do anything.

Who will pay the missing weight?

Why do you defend the boss?

Maria! Go back to the house!

If you want to get paid, dry your bag.

Step aside.

Did you like it?

The other night.

It's been a while.

You should have come back.

I couldn't escape from home.

Did you like it?

And you?

Did it hurt?

So?

Was it your first time?

So?

It was good.

Come tonight.

I can't.

But we'll have time, soon.

When?

When we leave.

After the coffee harvest,

when you get paid.

I'll hide in the forest and wait for you.

Whistle like that to find me.

When you whistle,

I'll come out of my hiding place.

I'll bring the bottle for you.

Manuel,

get the table ready.

Maria!

Where are you? Come help me clean.

I'll make an offering to the volcano.

- What for? I already did.

- Let her go.

It's important.

And my wages?

You've already drunk

more than your pay, like Pepe.

You must do the next harvest

to be able to pay your debt.

Go to hell.

I owe you nothing.

If you don't come back...

the boss will come and get you.

Tell your friend.

Tell him yourself.

That son of a b*tch robbed me.

He's crossing the border now.

Next.

What are you doing?

Pepe has left?

- When?

- Yesterday.

Without being paid?

The a**hole knew what he was doing.

He f***ed us over.

Why are you looking for him?

Can I walk you home?

Where were you going?

To the volcano, to make an offering.

I lost my way.

I thought you knew the plantation well.

That's weird.

No, don't move.

Let me see.

Why didn't you count your moons?

Are you dumb?

It was that bastard Pepe.

Since when?

When the coffee harvest began.

You waited until I noticed it

to tell me?

I wasn't sure.

Ignacio went to the city.

We can't marry you in time.

I'd better leave. I'll hide.

With a big belly,

you can't do what you want.

What do you think?

Don't be silly.

We have to get rid of it.

Drink this.

You don't want to?

Where is Pepe now?

Drink it.

Drink it all.

Juana.

Why is Maria vomiting like this?

She is nervous.

Tell her to vomit further off.

I can't sleep.

Did you do it
