Vasco tells Santiago about Camila's stupidity in buying the mill, says Ascanio went to look for Bernabé to try to retrieve the letter because if he misuses it, Camila can go to jail. Santiago asks why he says all that to him, if she has a husband with money and can help her. Vasco confesses that Ricardo has no money because he was robbed in the assault on the caravan. Santiago does not want to get involved in this matter, but Vasco begs his help.
