A Place Called Heritage
1
School.
Oye.
Oye.
Gracias.
Rosa.
Oye.
SÃ.
You are in violation of U.S. law.
Lie down on the ground
with your arms outstretched.
Get on your knees now!
Pa.
Mija. I opened the Zin this morning.
It's two weeks early.
I had a feeling.
- Oh. And?
- I was right.
I want to ship as soon as possible.
Get it on shelves for Memorial Day.
Memorial Day's in three weeks.
The bottler's gonna freak.
Ah, I bought the bottler.
Memorial Day means I have
to be shipping in 36 hours.
I have to loop transpo in
and get the print shop going.
You signed up for this, V.
What do you think it's going to be like
when I hand you the reins?
Sometimes I wonder,
how bad do you want this?
I'll make you a deal.
I'll get the Zin out
and you stop asking stupid questions.
And that conversation that you
keep promising we're gonna have
about when you're
gonna hand over the reins,
we're having it.
You have no idea how
many other labels call me.
Oh.
Show me something.
Yes, sir.
I'll have to find the
trucks and the drivers.
You really should've told me
you were opening the Zin, Joe.
Before you go off on
how I treat you different
from my other kids, I
didn't tell Veronica, either.
I can be more than a plant manager, Joe.
I have that degree in
viticulture from Fresno State.
It's not Stanford like Veronica's.
Can I give you some advice, Mateo?
Yeah, I-I'd love that.
You are the best GM in the Valley.
This place couldn't run without you.
You're just not a Wine Maker.
Here, let me help you.
You're new, aren't you?
You've got papers, I assume?
SÃ, señor.
Do you need to see them now?
It's okay, Joe.
I was in HR earlier this
morning. I saw them.
It's nice to meet you
Daniela.
You don't have papers?
I'm sorry. I-I didn't
mean to lie to your father.
Stepfather.
There's a worker on the vineyard.
He sells work papers.
Your son Mateo wants
me to make him Wine Maker.
Aha.
You put him up to it.
Well, he can do that job, Joe.
Ah. Mateo respects you so much.
He's been trying so hard.
Ay, Lettie, we've been married 20 years.
My kids accepted you as their stepmom.
Mateo's still not over it?
Are you kidding?
Since the day his father left,
he's been searching
for that father figure, Joe.
I don't know, maybe it's
time for you to step back,
hand the keys to Veronica and
What, play tennis? Plan parties?
Think about where you
started, what you built.
Hey, what we built.
20 years.
I'll drink to that.
Salud, mi amor.
Salud, mi amor.
How'd you like to lounge
by my pool this weekend?
Let me guess.
Papi said, "Jump," you said, "How high?"
And now you need me
to watch Veronica Jr.
For a couple hours
so that Michael can
I don't even know what Michael does.
I mean, it's actually
more like a couple of days.
- Seriously?
- Oh, come on.
I'm sleeping in the office tonight.
Fine, but you need to
do something for me.
- Of course.
- I have an idea for the business.
A whole new label
for people in their 20s.
A whole new look for
the Heritage House brand.
Wow. That's actually good, Carmen.
But people in their 20s
are beer and liquor drinkers.
Plenty of companies have tried
to sell to that demo before,
and none have worked.
They're not us.
Let's talk to Papa at Antonio's lunch.
Give me five minutes.
Pues
A pues
Okay.
What are you doing home?
Hey. We just got out early.
Plus, I want to be
here for Antonio's lunch.
Those are red wine glasses.
We do white with lunch.
- What's this?
- Just Mexican rap.
So, it's just as bad as American rap.
I got a whole pitch next week.
I got a whole deck to get ready.
Yeah, that's why I asked
Carmen to help with Rita.
Oh, great, so now I have
two people to babysit.
I'm standing right here, you know.
Look, you know how it is
with a family business.
Sometimes the line
between family and business
can get a little blurry.
Oh, there's a line? I
wasn't aware there's a line.
His car's pulling up.
You guys, he's here!
- Oh!
- Let's go. Ooh.
Let's go.
It's going to be alright.
Anyone home?
Surprise!
Antonio!
Bienvenido, mi amor.
Wow! Okay!
Killing it in New York
clearly agrees with you.
Right? Did you do all this, Lettie?
It's our anniversary weekend.
I wanted the whole
family to be together.
Hi.
Welcome home, son.
How's, uh I'm sorry.
I forgot his name.
Uh, Greg.
We broke up, but thanks for asking.
- Let's eat.
- Yes, let's eat.
My little New Yorker.
My little New Yorker.
Oh, my God. That's so funny.
Mm, how's school?
Well
Oh, a much better fit than Crossley Day.
Junior's doing really well.
Yeah, whatever she said.
I'd love to see your designs.
Thanks, 'Tonio.
You've always had faith in me.
All I'm saying is, if you want my help,
you got to put in the work.
Like a real business plan,
not just a cute sketch for a wine label.
Right, because no one picks their wine
based on the label, right?
Hey, we got to go.
I'll hit the storehouse?
- Before you go
- Yeah, I'll loop in transpo.
It's been a long time since
we all sat around this table.
Too long.
I remember the first time
we shared a meal here.
Carmen, you were in a high
chair screaming your head off.
Some things never change.
Remember, Lettie?
Me, divorced with three kids.
You and Mateo needing
a father and a home.
It wasn't easy, but we made it work.
And then when Junior came
It all went to hell.
that's when our two
families became one.
To family.
Familia.
- Familia.
- To la familia.
- Salud!
- Mm.
Are you ready?
I'm sorry, Mrs. Sandoval.
The man said it's important.
Coming.
- No.
- Come on. Let me get some.
Ah! Just kidding, sucker.
Hello?
Hi, Mrs. Sandoval.
This is Father Collins
from Junior's school.
Yesterday we found Joe
Jr. And a female student
in the confessional.
They were not confessing.
We suspended him,
but today our new priest, Father Ramos,
discovered something
even more troubling.
I insisted that he have
a word with you both.
Hello.
I'm Father Ramos.
Lettie Sandoval.
I was gathering your son's books
so he wouldn't fall behind
during his suspension.
Found this in his desk.
Ma, are you gonna tell Dad about that?
Wait for me in the car.
They're not even
En el coche.
How dare you come back here?
How dare you show your face?
Lettie, please, let me
You think by putting on a
collar, God forgives you?
I don't.
Please, Lettie. Leticia!
This is amazing, V.
What about you?
2 million units for a
small-batch tequila?
Papi was impressed.
Well, he should be.
Just like he should've made
you CEO five years ago.
Agreed.
It's been hard waiting,
but I've learned a lot from him.
Well, just be careful
what you learn from our pa.
He doesn't always care who he hurts.
Antonio, he regrets pushing you away.
And actually, so do I.
Feel like I could've done a
better job supporting you more.
Thanks to the wonders
of therapy, I'm over it.
I forgive everyone.
All I'm saying
is that my 'apa doesn't
always let little things
like right and wrong stand in his way.
I'm glad you're not like that.
Stop. Come on.
He's gonna meet you
tonight at Timo's Bar
out on Route 9.
Social Security, permanent resident,
and for the driver's license,
he's gonna need a photo.
Oh, I can't pay for that.
Don't worry about it. I took care of it.
You're doing so much for me.
How can I pay you back?
Keep your head down. Work hard.
Buenas.
Okay.
Wow, nice place you got here, Margaret.
We've been open a year.
It's about time you came to see it.
So, Lettie and I are
throwing a party tomorrow,
and wouldn't you know it,
two of my shareholders
canceled at the last minute.
Tried to get them on
the phone, but no luck.
Then I remembered you're friends
with these people.
Maybe you have something to do
with them going
witness protection on me.
I happen to know they're
thinking of selling their shares.
Maybe you're thinking of buying them?
You and me, we've had our battles.
You think I wronged your family
because I took the little
vineyard your father started
and turned it into one
of the largest wine producers
in the country.
Number three, if I'm not mistaken.
- Your point being?
- Don't mess with my company.
I think about my father
on the day he died.
Broke, sleeping at the
bottom of a wine bottle.
He was half-dead before he ever
got behind the wheel
of that car that day,
and I blame you, Joe.
You stole that vineyard.
You took away everything he ever had.
So, let's cut to the chase.
I'm not thinking about
buying those shares.
I already bought them.
And I am going to buy your company
right out from under you.
There's nothing you can do about it.
It's not my company, it's my family's.
Oh.
If you take us on, you will lose.
Tell Lettie happy anniversary for me.
Can't believe you didn't
invite me to your party.
I'm only the mother
to three of your kids.
- ¿S�
- SÃ.
Oye, Carlos.
Vamos.
No!
Carlos, no!
Vamos.
When was the last time
you heard from your mother?
Two years ago.
She sent me an evite
when she opened up
her second hotel in New York.
I hit her back with the unsubscribe.
Why?
Uh, she's about to launch
a hostile takeover of this company.
I learned a long time ago
not to underestimate that woman.
We're about to be in a street fight,
and Veronica, for all her skills,
is not a street fighter.
Why are you telling me this?
Well, I've been following your career.
You've been in the trenches.
You understand what's required.
We can't let your
mother take our company.
Our company?
Come home, Antonio. I need you.
You need me?
I made you feel unwelcome.
Yeah, just a bit.
I own that.
If I were to come back
and that's a big "if"
I won't undermine my sister.
And I would never ask you to.
I would never set one of
my children against the other.
What I want, what would
make me truly happy,
is for you to help her, teach
her how to fight this fight.
I am so proud of you, son.
I'm just sorry it took me
this long to tell you that.
Okay?
Need help.
Oh, wait. Whoa, whoa. You're okay.
You got her?
Help her, help her.
I was just down at the bottler.
Come here.
I'm so proud of you, V.
Thanks, Papi.
This calls for a toast.
Okay, easy there.
I remember your first day.
You said, "Start me at the bottom."
Yeah.
Otherwise, they'd only
know me as Joe's daughter.
I had to earn it.
I've put my whole life
into this company.
I know you'll do whatever
it takes to protect it.
To the new CEO of
Heritage House Vineyards.
Damn straight.
Mmm.
- Now, don't screw it up.
- Mm!
911, what's your emergency?
Uh, hi. I'm I'm on Route 9
by the Highlands.
A man has just been hit by a car.
Alright, ma'am, may I
have your name, please?
Ma'am, can I have your name, please?
Hey, V. V, hey.
What is it? What's wrong?
Am I a good person?
What?
What's going on?
I love you.
I love you.
I love you. I love you so much.
Each of
Joe's kids owns 5% of the company.
Veronica will never sell.
She's too loyal, even
if Joe doesn't trust her.
Carmen may be tempted,
but she'll wait to see
how her idea for a new label plays out.
Junior can be gotten to,
but his shares are held
in a trust until he turns 21.
And then that leaves Mateo.
Looks like Joe didn't leave
any shares to his stepson.
I wonder if Lettie knows.
Then there's yours truly.
If you can get your stake up to 46%,
my 5% will push you over the top
and you'll take control
over Heritage House.
Since you're my mom, I'll
give you the friends and family.
Oh, Antonio.
They are going to regret the day
they turned their back on you.
Us.
It's good to be home.
Gracias. Vamos.
Mm.
Alright, just come in
a little bit to the left.
Move in a little bit and say, "Family."
Family!
Pero, hey, I heard a rumor
that you're coming back home,
and I just wanted to say I think
it's gonna be really good.
Oh. Got to take this.
Hello? Excuse me.
Yeah.
Oh, ho, ho, ho.
Gracias.
- I got my papers.
- Ah!
Thank you again.
Oh.
I should get back to work
before Marta has a fit.
And now Lettie and Joe will dance
to their wedding song,
"Where You Go, I Will Go."
Hey!
You know, you don't
have to steal the stuff.
Client dinner.
Veronica thought that
I should serve the Reserva.
Mm, are your clients
70-year-old white guys?
Come here.
What are you doing?
Something your wife would kill
me for if she saw me doing.
Oh. Is that the Reserva?
Plus a splash of whiskey,
squeeze of lemon,
and my secret ingredient
maple syrup.
Okay.
Oh, my God!
That is actually amazing.
The clients that I was talking about
are heavy hitters in
the marketing world.
I bet they'd love your work.
Maybe you should introduce me to them.
Maybe I should.
How's my new CEO?
It's a great party, Pa.
This can't be good. Sheriff Acosta.
Joe. I'm sorry. I didn't realize
you were having an event.
My anniversary.
Veronica, you remember Sheriff Acosta.
Sheriff.
So, what can I do for you?
I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
Worker of yours, fella named Delgado,
got hit by a car last night.
Hit-and-run up on Route 9.
My God, that's terrible.
Joe, is there someplace
we can talk in private?
My office.
- It was good seeing you.
- Same.
Oye.
Mira.
This worker of yours, Delgado,
he's been on our radar for a while.
He was dealing work
papers out of that bar.
We think he was just
walking home when he got hit.
Mnh-mnh.
Mnh-mnh.
Berto?
He had a mock-up for
a phony Social on him.
It was for one of your domestics, Joe.
Daniela Perez.
- Oye, Carlos.
- Berto?
- Carlos.
- Oye, Roberto?
- Carlos? Carlos!
- Roberto?
Carlos!
Hola.
There are two options.
I can arrest this girl and
turn her over to the Feds,
and you know ICE.
You throw them a little fish
every once in a while,
they'll cut you some slack.
And the other option?
We look the other way.
She keeps working here and
you hope ICE never picks her up.
Whoo!
Mira.
the United States and its neighbors.
Our objective is only
to establish a reasonable
fair, orderly, and secure
system of immigration.
You're in America now.
You should go by Joe.
Joe.
What do you want to do, Joe?
Do you understand
the liability we could face
for employing an undocumented worker?
I make one phone call,
I could have you sitting in
an ICE holding cell in an hour.
Are you going to turn me in?
No.
Thank you, Mr. Sand
But you can't stay
here. Pack your things.
Wait, sir, please. I need a job.
My family back home
relies on the money.
Sorry.
- Please.
- Sorry.
We should get back to our guests.
I have to pee.
Ah, did you learn how
to say that from a book?
I'll show you later.
No, no, no.
What is your dream?
I want to be a teacher.
Yours?
Don't laugh, but
you see that house?
I'm going to own it.
The house, the vineyard.
One day, this will all be mine.
That is my dream, Juana.
Or
should I call you Leticia?
No.
Leticia.
I like Lettie.
Ay, órale.
Gracias.
Juana.
Daniela? Daniela?
Where are you going?
Señor Sandoval said I have to go.
He found out about my papers.
Hey, Mateo.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Son of a bitch.
- Hey, Mateo.
How could you do this?
You climb up the ladder, then
you pull it up behind you, huh?
Does that make you feel like
a like a big, powerful man?
Like the American success story?
No, no, no.
I know who you really
are, Carlos Rincón.
Mateo.
Your whole life is based on a lie, Joe.
Mateo!
- His whole life is based on a lie!
- No. Shh, shh.
- Not here.
- Mateo.
Huh? My father told me
everything right before he left.
Right before he left, huh?
So right before he
stabbed me in the back?
That's a lie.
Right before he put
your mother in the hospital?
Before he left your family for a whore?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Stop!
Son of a bitch! You're the one
who betrayed your brother!
You stabbed him in the back!
Step away.
Now.
Alright.
I will.
I quit.
- I'm done.
- Mateo.
Find yourself another boy.
Hey, why don't you go get Junior
to get that tract ready for you, huh?
Go ahead. I'm done.
No, Mateo, Mateo. Mateo!
- Mami, you chose.
- No.
You chose him!
Ma Mateo!
Joe.
No, Joe. Joe.
Leave him alone.
Junior, wake up.
Junior, wake up.
- No, no.
- Pa!
Pa!
Don't you
What is wrong with you?
What the hell?!
Junior cried himself to sleep.
How could you?
He worships you, Joe.
He wants to be just like you.
He's nothing like me.
And Mateo?
You never accepted him.
I made him general manager
of the vineyard, didn't I?
Not as an employee, Joe!
As your son!
You pushed him away! Why?
To get back at your brother?
To get back at me for marrying him?
Is that what you see
when you look at my son?
You see Billy staring back at you.
And that poor Daniela?
30 years ago, that was me.
I will always protect this company.
Yeah? What about your family?
What about your family, Joe?
I no longer know w-who you are.
Why did you come back here?
You think this is easy for me?
I made peace with it. I
told myself you were dead.
Then I walk in here the other
day and I see you, and I just
Please, Lettie. Go home.
Billy. Why?
School.
Oye.
Oye.
Gracias.
Rosa.
Oye.
SÃ.
You are in violation of U.S. law.
Lie down on the ground

Just like he should've made
you CEO five years ago.
Agreed.
It's been hard waiting,
but I've learned a lot from him.
Well, just be careful
what you learn from our pa.
He doesn't always care who he hurts.
Antonio, he regrets pushing you away.
And actually, so do I.
Feel like I could've done a
better job supporting you more.
Thanks to the wonders
of therapy, I'm over it.
I forgive everyone.
All I'm saying
is that my 'apa doesn't
always let little things
like right and wrong stand in his way.
I'm glad you're not like that.
Stop. Come on.
He's gonna meet you
tonight at Timo's Bar
out on Route 9.
Social Security, permanent resident,
and for the driver's license,
he's gonna need a photo.
Oh, I can't pay for that.
Don't worry about it. I took care of it.
You're doing so much for me.
How can I pay you back?
Keep your head down. Work hard.
Buenas.
Okay.
Wow, nice place you got here, Margaret.
We've been open a year.
It's about time you came to see it.
So, Lettie and I are
throwing a party tomorrow,
and wouldn't you know it,
two of my shareholders
canceled at the last minute.
Tried to get them on
the phone, but no luck.
Then I remembered you're friends
with these people.
Maybe you have something to do
with them going
witness protection on me.
I happen to know they're
thinking of selling their shares.
Maybe you're thinking of buying them?
You and me, we've had our battles.
You think I wronged your family
because I took the little
vineyard your father started
and turned it into one
of the largest wine producers
in the country.
Number three, if I'm not mistaken.
- Your point being?
- Don't mess with my company.
I think about my father
on the day he died.
Broke, sleeping at the
bottom of a wine bottle.
He was half-dead before he ever
got behind the wheel
of that car that day,
and I blame you, Joe.
You stole that vineyard.
You took away everything he ever had.
So, let's cut to the chase.
I'm not thinking about
buying those shares.
I already bought them.
And I am going to buy your company
right out from under you.
There's nothing you can do about it.
It's not my company, it's my family's.
Oh.
If you take us on, you will lose.
Tell Lettie happy anniversary for me.
Can't believe you didn't
invite me to your party.
I'm only the mother
to three of your kids.
- ¿S�
- SÃ.
Oye, Carlos.
Vamos.
No!
Carlos, no!
Vamos.
When was the last time
you heard from your mother?
Two years ago.
She sent me an evite
when she opened up
her second hotel in New York.
I hit her back with the unsubscribe.
Why?
Uh, she's about to launch
a hostile takeover of this company.
I learned a long time ago
not to underestimate that woman.
We're about to be in a street fight,
and Veronica, for all her skills,
is not a street fighter.
Why are you telling me this?
Well, I've been following your career.
You've been in the trenches.
You understand what's required.
We can't let your
mother take our company.
Our company?
Come home, Antonio. I need you.
You need me?
I made you feel unwelcome.
Yeah, just a bit.
I own that.
If I were to come back
and that's a big "if"
I won't undermine my sister.
And I would never ask you to.
I would never set one of
my children against the other.
What I want, what would
make me truly happy,
is for you to help her, teach
her how to fight this fight.
I am so proud of you, son.
I'm just sorry it took me
this long to tell you that.
Okay?
Need help.
Oh, wait. Whoa, whoa. You're okay.
You got her?
Help her, help her.
I was just down at the bottler.
Come here.
I'm so proud of you, V.
Thanks, Papi.
This calls for a toast.
Okay, easy there.
I remember your first day.
You said, "Start me at the bottom."
Yeah.
Otherwise, they'd only
know me as Joe's daughter.
I had to earn it.
I've put my whole life
into this company.
I know you'll do whatever
it takes to protect it.
To the new CEO of
Heritage House Vineyards.
Damn straight.
Mmm.
- Now, don't screw it up.
- Mm!
911, what's your emergency?
Uh, hi. I'm I'm on Route 9
by the Highlands.
A man has just been hit by a car.
Alright, ma'am, may I
have your name, please?
Ma'am, can I have your name, please?
Hey, V. V, hey.
What is it? What's wrong?
Am I a good person?
What?
What's going on?
I love you.
I love you.
I love you. I love you so much.
Each of
Joe's kids owns 5% of the company.
Veronica will never sell.
She's too loyal, even
if Joe doesn't trust her.
Carmen may be tempted,
but she'll wait to see
how her idea for a new label plays out.
Junior can be gotten to,
but his shares are held
in a trust until he turns 21.
And then that leaves Mateo.
Looks like Joe didn't leave
any shares to his stepson.
I wonder if Lettie knows.
Then there's yours truly.
If you can get your stake up to 46%,
my 5% will push you over the top
and you'll take control
over Heritage House.
Since you're my mom, I'll
give you the friends and family.
Oh, Antonio.
They are going to regret the day
they turned their back on you.
Us.
It's good to be home.
Gracias. Vamos.
Mm.
Alright, just come in
a little bit to the left.
Move in a little bit and say, "Family."
Family!
Pero, hey, I heard a rumor
that you're coming back home,
and I just wanted to say I think
it's gonna be really good.
Oh. Got to take this.
Hello? Excuse me.
Yeah.
Oh, ho, ho, ho.
Gracias.
- I got my papers.
- Ah!
Thank you again.
Oh.
I should get back to work
before Marta has a fit.
And now Lettie and Joe will dance
to their wedding song,
"Where You Go, I Will Go."
Hey!
You know, you don't
have to steal the stuff.
Client dinner.
Veronica thought that
I should serve the Reserva.
Mm, are your clients
70-year-old white guys?
Come here.
What are you doing?
Something your wife would kill
me for if she saw me doing.
Oh. Is that the Reserva?
Plus a splash of whiskey,
squeeze of lemon,
and my secret ingredient
maple syrup.
Okay.
Oh, my God!
That is actually amazing.
The clients that I was talking about
are heavy hitters in
the marketing world.
I bet they'd love your work.
Maybe you should introduce me to them.
Maybe I should.
How's my new CEO?
It's a great party, Pa.
This can't be good. Sheriff Acosta.
Joe. I'm sorry. I didn't realize
you were having an event.
My anniversary.
Veronica, you remember Sheriff Acosta.
Sheriff.
So, what can I do for you?
I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
Worker of yours, fella named Delgado,
got hit by a car last night.
Hit-and-run up on Route 9.
My God, that's terrible.
Joe, is there someplace
we can talk in private?
My office.
- It was good seeing you.
- Same.
Oye.
Mira.
This worker of yours, Delgado,
he's been on our radar for a while.
He was dealing work
papers out of that bar.
We think he was just
walking home when he got hit.
Mnh-mnh.
Mnh-mnh.
Berto?
He had a mock-up for
a phony Social on him.
It was for one of your domestics, Joe.
Daniela Perez.
- Oye, Carlos.
- Berto?
- Carlos.
- Oye, Roberto?
- Carlos? Carlos!
- Roberto?
Carlos!
Hola.
There are two options.
I can arrest this girl and
turn her over to the Feds,
and you know ICE.
You throw them a little fish
every once in a while,
they'll cut you some slack.
And the other option?
We look the other way.
She keeps working here and
you hope ICE never picks her up.
Whoo!
Mira.
the United States and its neighbors.
Our objective is only
to establish a reasonable
fair, orderly, and secure
system of immigration.
You're in America now.
You should go by Joe.
Joe.
What do you want to do, Joe?
Do you understand
the liability we could face
for employing an undocumented worker?
I make one phone call,
I could have you sitting in
an ICE holding cell in an hour.
Are you going to turn me in?
No.
Thank you, Mr. Sand
But you can't stay
here. Pack your things.
Wait, sir, please. I need a job.
My family back home
relies on the money.
Sorry.
- Please.
- Sorry.
We should get back to our guests.
I have to pee.
Ah, did you learn how
to say that from a book?
I'll show you later.
No, no, no.
What is your dream?
I want to be a teacher.
Yours?
Don't laugh, but
you see that house?
I'm going to own it.
The house, the vineyard.
One day, this will all be mine.
That is my dream, Juana.
Or
should I call you Leticia?
No.
Leticia.
I like Lettie.
Ay, órale.
Gracias.
Juana.
Daniela? Daniela?
Where are you going?
Señor Sandoval said I have to go.
He found out about my papers.
Hey, Mateo.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Son of a bitch.
- Hey, Mateo.
How could you do this?
You climb up the ladder, then
you pull it up behind you, huh?
Does that make you feel like
a like a big, powerful man?
Like the American success story?
No, no, no.
I know who you really
are, Carlos Rincón.
Mateo.
Your whole life is based on a lie, Joe.
Mateo!
- His whole life is based on a lie!
- No. Shh, shh.
- Not here.
- Mateo.
Huh? My father told me
everything right before he left.
Right before he left, huh?
So right before he
stabbed me in the back?
That's a lie.
Right before he put
your mother in the hospital?
Before he left your family for a whore?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Stop!
Son of a bitch! You're the one
who betrayed your brother!
You stabbed him in the back!
Step away.
Now.
Alright.
I will.
I quit.
- I'm done.
- Mateo.
Find yourself another boy.
Hey, why don't you go get Junior
to get that tract ready for you, huh?
Go ahead. I'm done.
No, Mateo, Mateo. Mateo!
- Mami, you chose.
- No.
You chose him!
Ma Mateo!
Joe.
No, Joe. Joe.
Leave him alone.
Junior, wake up.
Junior, wake up.
- No, no.
- Pa!
Pa!
Don't you
What is wrong with you?
What the hell?!
Junior cried himself to sleep.
How could you?
He worships you, Joe.
He wants to be just like you.
He's nothing like me.
And Mateo?
You never accepted him.
I made him general manager
of the vineyard, didn't I?
Not as an employee, Joe!
As your son!
You pushed him away! Why?
To get back at your brother?
To get back at me for marrying him?
Is that what you see
when you look at my son?
You see Billy staring back at you.
And that poor Daniela?
30 years ago, that was me.
I will always protect this company.
Yeah? What about your family?
What about your family, Joe?
I no longer know w-who you are.
Why did you come back here?
You think this is easy for me?
I made peace with it. I
told myself you were dead.
Then I walk in here the other
day and I see you, and I just
Please, Lettie. Go home.
Billy. Why?
