01x32 - Episode 32

Post by bunniefuu »

Excuse me, young man.

-Yes?

-Professor Tino?

He's here. I'll get him.

You can wait here.

Thank you.

-Jason.

-Teach, someone's here for you.

Who?

A man who was with Sara's mom

the other day at the exhibition.

Thanks. No, no. Don't get up. Don't worry.

Nice to meet you.

Joseph Stewart.

Have a seat.

Mrs. Mariana Azcárate

has told me great things about you.

She recommended you.

I'd like to hire you as a lawyer.

I'm not a practicing lawyer right now.

I'm focused on a journalism job.

Now that I see you,

you're perfect to take on this case.

What is it about?

There's a man of our race

who is imprisoned.

And as you know,

it's not easy to get justice for us.

I guess I could make an exception.

I would really appreciate that.

You have to know that this person

doesn't want to get help.

I believe it's essential

that you learn about his life,

hear his story,

so that you can get the picture.

You know,

if someone else had come here with that,

I wouldn't have considered it.

But you're special.

It's a special case.

The person in question is very dear to me.

For me and Mrs. Azcárate.

That last name never goes unnoticed.

-Anything else, madam?

-No, thank you, Maura.

Sure. Excuse me.

Did you get home late last night?

Yes, I'm sorry.

That's why I didn't wake you.

Did you wake up before me?

It seems like you're avoiding me.

Rogelio, don't say that.

No, I just can't sleep anymore,

I'm worried about my dad's health.

Hmm, did you finally speak to the doctor?

Ofelia called and said you weren't there

and that the doctor needed to speak

urgently with you, I thought

that was very weird.

I told Ofelia

you had spoken to the doctor.

Yes, Ofelia definitely lost her mind.

She went looking for another doctor

made a scene at the hospital.

I mean besides what we're dealing with

already with my dad.

Oh, Ofelia

I was late because I went to Sara's,

but she wasn't there.

I spoke with Josefina for a while

and I asked her

not to tell Sara about my dad's health.

I completely agree.

What did the doctor say?

Mmm. I don't know.

Apparently, my dad has brain damage.

They have to run a lot of tests.

It's not looking very good.

I'm sorry.

You know I'm here for anything you need.

Thank you, Rogelio.

I don't know what I'd do without you now.

Without me?

You and I will be together

like we promised 20 years ago.

Together until death do us part.

Easy.

Please take this letter

as soon as you can to this address.

-I will.

-Ángel.

Please, be very careful.

We can't underestimate the enemy.

He's got his eyes peeled.

I'll be careful.

At my age

a man must take responsibility

for his actions.

I am guilty.

I don't need you to defend me.

The law says that every man

has the right to a lawyer.

Why don't you tell me what happened?

Who sent you?

Someone who cares about you.

Mr. Graciliano, I respect

that you want to plead guilty,

but I'd like to make sure

that you get a fair sentence.

We both know very well

that justice can be tougher

on people of our race than with others.

Listen

can you get me some liquor?

If they catch me,

I'd hurt any chance of helping you.

I told you already, I don't need help.

I just want something

to forget about the present.

And remember better times.

Tell me something.

Were you drunk

when you set the cotton on fire?

I see that my guardian angel

told you what happened.

But I want to hear your side.

Okay. Sometimes, courage only comes

with the help of alcohol.

You needed help to get courage,

so you may not have wanted

to commit a crime.

Mr. Graciliano,

I'd like to know more about your story.

If you don't mind.

Do you want to ruin your day

with a sad story?

I don't think it's a sad story,

it's interesting.

Who are you?

Someone who wants to help you.

SANTIAGO DE CALI HOSPITAL

All good?

Hmm?

-Hi, how are you?

-Hello.

-Hi.

-How is your ankle?

Fine.

I have a guardian angel

who paid for the surgery.

Mm-hmm. Life's smiling at you too, Tino.

Looks like it.

Shall we?

We're going to get going.

I'm glad you're okay.

Sara.

Are you okay?

-What happened?

-Yes, I'm fine.

I'm having a physical exam. But it's fine.

Very well.

We're expecting a child.

We don't know that yet.

We're waiting for the results, right?

Yes, but I'm sure

they'll come back positive.

-Congratulations.

-Yes, congratulations.

Good luck with your surgery.

Thanks.

-Bye.

-You look nice together.

Tino, let's go.

-Excuse me.

-Thank you, Berenice.

This came for you.

Thanks.

Are you okay?

Um Yes, yes.

Good.

Sara. Are you okay?

What happened?

We're expecting a baby.

We don't know that yet.

We're waiting for the results, right?

Yes, but I'm sure

they'll come back positive.

Congratulations.

-Thanks.

-Congratulations.

Rogelio

I want to talk to you

about these documents.

Hmm?

Did you know about these prenups?

No.

Of course my dad wasn't going

to let you marry me just like that.

He needed something in exchange.

I married you for love, not money.

I know.

I also know it hasn't been easy for you.

And I thank you

for fighting

for the estate together again.

My dad is never going to be

the same again.

So it's you and me now.

On our own.

To defend our land from Mr. Stewart.

I've always been unconditional.

Can I trust you after so many lies?

Everything I own is yours, Rogelio.

What do you want me to do?

Help me out.

Stop Mr. Stewart

from taking over La Victoria.

Tino, I repeat, no. There's nothing.

The warehouse

where they purchased it is empty.

There are no witnesses, no trace

of the drugs, no money, there's nothing.

I'm the best proof that drug trafficking

exists in the region.

The Turk gave me a real lead.

I almost got k*lled.

Why would he lie

about Benítez being behind this?

As long as there are clues,

I'll keep investigating.

Did you start the meeting?

Didn't we say at 9:00? It's 8:50.

Excuse me, I'll let you two work.

Why, where are you going?

We're not working together anymore.

Excuse me? Why?

Your condition.

Tino, don't be absurd.

You can't kick me out of this job.

Tino, sit down.

Sara, take a seat.

I've made the decision that you won't

work with us on the guerrilla issue.

What? Why not?

Because you're pregnant.

Look, we don't know that yet.

If you bring me the negative

pregnancy results,

you can continue working.

Otherwise, you can't.

Roberto, I'm sorry, but even if I brought

you a positive exam result,

it doesn't mean I'm disabled.

Tino told me about the visit to the camp.

It sounds risky.

It's fine if you want

to keep working with me.

But I'll get you another job.

Can I leave?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Sara, please know that I do it

for your baby's well-being.

We'll talk later.

Tino

Tino.

Were you going to tell me

you're kicking me out of the job?

I don't want to be responsible

for what happens to you or my nephew.

No, because it's not your responsibility.

If it's your responsibility,

that's charity.

Why charity?

You donated the money

for my surgery, right?

No. My family may be aristocratic

and whatever else, but I have no money.

Well, even better.

We have nothing in common anymore.

No, you won't take me off of this project.

Why don't you understand

that having you near me hurts me?

When you're in my life,

everything goes wrong.

That's why we can't be together.

Don't be a coward.

Co? Oh, no, not now.

Coward?

Listen to me, Joel.

Mr. Rogelio spoke

with one of Summer's employees.

He suspects that you're doing

business on your own.

We did business.

You took your part.

But they're looking for you.

He asked me to have

the next harvest ready to sell,

but there's a problem.

You already sold it.

Why are you talking like I did everything?

Whose idea was it

to do the deal and keep the money?

What did you tell Benítez

when he asked about me?

-That I haven't seen you.

-That's how it'll remain.

He better not go to the estate

until this deal is done.

Why do you risk it?

Let me show you something, Rowdy.

Men who triumph take risks.

I want to give my child a future.

And I can't do that if I'm simply

Benítez's employee, you know?

I actually hear you.

But don't play with Mr. Rogelio.

I'm not playing with Mr. Rogelio.

Or stealing, if that's what you think.

It's a loan. A loan that I will pay off

with the first sale of the business,

including interest. Relax.

What business? You don't have anything.

I'm only missing

good land, men to sow it,

a client, and for you to be quiet.

Can I trust you?

Sure.

Cheers.

Don't press your luck.

Give me ten minutes.

-This is not a game.

-I'm not playing around.

I need to write that article

about your friend.

That door is closed.

-You know that.

-Open it. I know you can.

Listen, there's a very special place

here in Cali I want to show you.

You'll see that I'm serious.

If you don't like it,

I won't bother you again.

There.

Give me a little strut,

like you're on the runway.

Now show me the scepter.

There.

Blow some kisses to the camera.

More.

It's been two days

and you don't have anything, Rowdy.

The gringo has been going around

the whole city, but nothing weird, sir.

Has he seen you?

-No. I don't think so.

-You don't think so.

Are you an idiot?

You can't let Mr. Stewart

out of your sight. Understood?

No Yes.

Yes, sir, whatever you say.

Have you heard from Joel?

No. No. I haven't been able to find him.

Rowdy, listen to me closely.

You have one shot to do things right.

Otherwise, don't come around here again.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

Hello.

Sergeant Mayorca.

I've been following the matter

on Graciliano Mosquera, as you asked.

I have news for you.

I hope it's good. Like he died.

I don't know how you will take it.

-But that man has a lawyer.

-Who paid for it?

That n*gro doesn't have a penny.

A friend, like a gringo.

Mr. Stewart.

That's him.

The doors are open to all the young people

who want to propose ideas through art.

But they should offer criticism.

-Uh-huh, counterculture.

-Exactly.

I had heard about it, but wasn't into it,

and perhaps I'm still not.

You'll be interested

when you join the discussions.

There's an event and everything included?

It feels more like a trap.

If I don't convince you,

Eliana, the founder, will.

Huh? Oh

-Good afternoon.

-How are you? Welcome.

Why don't you come in?

The discussion is about to begin.

Thanks.

You're playing with fire, aren't you?

I'm following your advice.

Focusing on work.

Since when is it wrong

to aim for a more equitable nation?

No, the point isn't how to get that, Tino.

Yes, but a couple of movies, paintings,

and a few songs won't change the world.

Of course not, Daniel.

But when you arrived here, you had many

compliments about this house.

Now you think that what we do is useless.

Wait, I'm not saying

that what you're doing is useless.

But it's not enough.

I think it's enough, since music

is bringing the American youth together

against the Vietnam w*r.

-Yet the w*r continues.

-Violence isn't the way.

That's why we've been here since the 40s.

It's a cycle of violence.

The problem isn't the method.

it's just that it's misdirected.

And if we want to change

the inequality in this country,

the powerful families

must turn in their riches.

Now let me ask you,

will they do that willingly?

I agree about the families,

but not the violence.

It's true that some of them

feel like they have the right

to step over everybody else.

Tino, not everyone

with economic power abuses it.

I know that.

"Our differences

shouldn't turn into aggression."

"I adore you, Tino."

"It hurts me that we've grown apart

and how we treat each other."

"I hope the distance helps us

to keep the valuable moments we shared."

"I love you very much."

"Sara."

FOR TINO

"Drug Trafficking Investigation,

The Valley Observer."

"Rogelio Benítez"?

"After a comprehensive two-week,

12-hour surveillance of the suspect,

no activities linking him

have been found."

"During the surveillance,

we observe that his routine

primarily involves his work

as a foreman at La Victoria

and afterward, he heads to the city

for shopping and socializing over drinks."

"Then he would return

to continue his duties the next day."

What is this?

"Dear father,

I hope you are reading these words

that bear witness to a truth."

"Your son is still alive."

"Yes, Father, I'm alive."

"Joaquín."

What?

Joaquín Mosquera is alive?

You knew it.

They dare think I'm stupid.

-Mr. Rogelio

-Not now!

Where is Mariana?

In the living room, sir.

Yes, I signed

the authorization for my dad's exams.

The doctor said he'd let me know

when the results are in.

Something strange is going on.

The doctor won't let me go into the room

to keep him company.

Oh, really?

Well, let me call the doctor and ask him.

I'd appreciate that.

Let me know if you find

anything out, please.

I don't like this at all.

All right.

Hello. Dr. Orjuela, please?

Oh, Mariana.

You and Joaquín

will pay for this.

I thought you were gone.

No. I was looking for you.

If it's about back there, it's clear

that we have different views

on things and can't work together.

I agree. I realized

your problem isn't just with me,

it's with my family.

It has nothing to do with your family.

It's with you. It's personal.

And why?

I just can't pretend nothing happened.

You near me affects me. Especially now

that you're having my brother's baby.

We still don't know that.

And your problem is with my family.

Why are you following my dad?

Tino.

I want the truth.

Is this how you're going to punish me?

-Investigating my family?

-I'm not investigating them.

Tino, please.

Come on. Tell me the truth.

Why were you following him?

A prisoner gave me information

about your dad.

He's linked as a partner

in ill*gal activities.

-ill*gal?

-Marijuana trafficking.

Oh, please. Seriously?

-You took it for granted without evidence.

-No, no.

I haven't.

I investigated and did interviews.

Relax. The police confirmed your dad

isn't involved. You know what he did?

He helped report and capture the guy.

But the police didn't clear it up,

because you're still investigating him.

I'm not investigating.

I'm not investigating him.

I'm investigating the subject matter.

You know there are landowners

who are involved.

They're promoting trafficking marijuana.

My family wouldn't do that.

And everything we have has been

our honest work, just so you know.

Great, there's nothing

for you to worry about.

You're absolutely right.

It's best that you and I

never work together again.

Boy, I don't know why

you like this land better.

The ones back there

are in better condition.

And have better access to get in.

Look, this is horrible to walk here.

I don't plant here because

I can't get the product out.

You can't do it.

Is this the only access point?

Yes, the only one we have.

That's why I tell you,

this is very removed.

Neither the law nor God make it here.

Well, this is exactly

what I'm looking for, Mr. Héctor.

There's no way to pay that money back.

That guy will leave us on the streets.

Don't worry.

I found a way to save the estate.

You did?

So? How will you do it?

The less you know, the better.

Rogelio, we're in this together.

Mm-hmm. Sure.

But trust me.

I don't want you to be involved.

I don't want you

to get in trouble for anything.

Thanks. Thanks, Mariana, for your concern.

That means so much to me.

Don't stress.

Everything will be fine. I assure you.

I assure you that starting tomorrow,

we won't see Mr. Stewart again.

-Should I pour you one?

-No, thanks.

This one, number six.

Eliana!

Hey!

-What are you celebrating?

-You.

Mmm

Hey, hey. Be careful.

It's okay.

Hey, thanks.

Uh-huh.

Thanks for everything.

For opening the doors to your house

for

helping me with the newspaper.

-Mm-hmm.

-For everything.

You've been an angel.

-Hey, your ankle.

-Oh, it's okay, Eliana.

It doesn't hurt at all.

Pain is mental,

sadness is mental, love is mental.

From now on, I'll choose how I feel.

Hey, hey.

What happened?

Um

I thought you wanted it.

Yes, yes, but not like that.

Like what?

Eliana

but

Didn't you like it?

No, it's not that.

It needs salt.

No, no. I just had a bad day.

Trouble at work.

Problems with Tino?

Something like that.

Cousin, you know that you don't

have to work if you don't want to.

That's you trying to complicate your life

with other people's responsibilities.

There's your family.

Mati, I told you

I'm not going to live off my family.

Haven't you noticed that Grandpa

hasn't called me again?

He definitely won't call me now that

That what?

Now that I have my own projects.

It needs salt.

What is with you?

I'll tell you later. Right now,

help me,

I don't want to be rude to Josefina.

-Sara

-Come on.

-What do you have?

-I'll tell you later.

The final touch.

You didn't eat anything, honey.

Dinner was lovely, I can't eat any more.

-Thanks.

-All right, honey.

Mmm

I'm offering you an excellent deal.

If we own the land, our profits will go up

because there's no intermediary.

We would be producers and exporters.

How does that sound?

Cultivating requires hard work.

And risk.

Plagues,

weather, the police.

I'd rather buy it when it's all ready.

But you'd earn 25% more,

which is the amount

Benítez kept from producing it.

I'll think about it, I'll let you know.

I'll take on the risk.

What's your idea?

I'll take on the responsibility

of hiring the workers,

supervising the estate and the crops.

If something fails, I'll cover the losses.

You will keep the whole harvest,

and if it's incomplete, I'll pay you.

-How does that sound?

-Huh!

What do you need?

An advance.

It's the cash I need for

the land and to begin to grow right away.

How can I trust you, huh?

It's obvious that you're betraying

your own boss.

I'm not betraying anybody.

I left him due to a lack of ambition.

He's stuck in the past.

Mena spoke to Rogelio

and he said he hadn't heard

about the last deal you and I made.

Is that what he said?

Rogelio is angry

because he knows I'm unhappy,

because I have dreams, guts,

something he doesn't.

Listen

Take a look at the land

and tell me what you think.

Trust me, you're the first client

I'm offering this to,

but you won't be the last.

Sara, are you okay? Do you need anything?

Pregnant? So you had sex?

Can you scream so they can hear you?

I'm sorry, but do you hear

the tragedy you're telling me?

You're so young,

you're not even married,

or finished with your studies.

You ruined your life.

Come on, a baby is no disgrace.

Not when the conditions aren't adequate.

I want to have at least five kids,

get married to a politician

and have a big house.

How will you tell your family?

I don't know. I won't tell them yet.

Matilde, you can't tell anybody.

Nobody can find out, you hear?

Although you won't be able

to keep it a secret for long.

When the moment comes,

I'll find a way to tell them.

Now I need support and not for you

to keep tormenting me with these issues.

What did Joel say?

No, Joel is super excited.

I think he still doesn't understand

what it means to raise a baby,

and the responsibility that comes with it.

A child can change your life

and I don't think he gets that.

But what kind of life

can we give to this baby?

Maybe it's not that serious,

and you're making a tragedy

out of nothing.

Um Joel loves you.

He recognizes the child,

you have a rich family

who can give you everything.

I told you I won't count

on my family's empire.

If Joel and I are having this baby,

we'll do it all alone.

With no one's help.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Thank you for being here to celebrate

the news that I'm going to be a father.

Viche, a round of drinks for everyone,

tonight is on me!

Hey, congratulations!

Now you definitely have to work, huh?

You'll have many mouths to feed.

Yes, but independently.

I'm going to buy my land,

the business will grow.

I'm tired of working for Benítez.

Hey, how will Mr. Rogelio react

when he finds out

you're expecting his grandchild?

The man will have to accept it.

And your girlfriend?

You can't keep

your business from her forever.

Viche, relax.

I've already set up the front business

that I'm going to tell her I have.

Each day brings a challenge.

Today, we're celebrating

that I will be a father.

I'll have what I never had.

A family.

All right, cheers!

Cheers!

I beg you, make it just a scare,

a false alarm.

I don't want to be pregnant,

let it not be positive, I beg you.

I'm not ready to be a mom.

I promise I'll go back to school.

I'll be a better daughter.

-Amen.

-Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with you.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I was just looking at you,

and I realized you're even more beautiful

than the day I met you.

I'm so lucky to share my life with you,

Mariana.

I love you.

I always will.

-Were you drinking last night?

-I had a good reason.

You and I are finally real partners.

And we'll push La Victoria forward,

I know it.

Rogelio, I can't think of anything

with so many problems.

Yes, I know.

But let me tell you a secret,

you don't have to worry.

I have a plan.

I promise you that this Stewart guy

won't blackmail us ever again.

If we were partners,

you'd tell me what your plan is.

You know what? I'll tell you.

But not now.

Now I want you to be mine.

-See?

-No Rogelio, please.

Please, Rogelio.

Rogelio

No!
