Udhungret og forbrændt af den stærke sol møder han en aldrende gedehyrde, der forstår hans situation, giver ham mad og plejer hans medtagne ansigt.

Ogni sera, alla stessa ora, l'intero paese si ferma in ascolto davanti alla radio. Mentre nelle case si diffondono le prime note della sigla musicale, nel piccolo studio di calle Caspe, a Barcellona, cala il silenzio, una luce inizia a lampeggiare e due labbra dipinte di rosso si avvicinano al microfono per augurare la buona notte agli ascoltatori. Sono le labbra di Aurora, la presentatrice di uno dei programmi radiofonici più popolari nella Spagna postfranchista degli anni settanta: "La posta del cuore della señorita Leo".

The instinct of the true Porterhouse man faced with a crisis is to reach for the bottle and then to fall back on the subtle tactical skills honed at Cambridge down the centuries: blackmail and kidnap. But will these be enough?
