Post by bunniefuu »

Hi, how are you doing? I'm Tino.

Lucy.

-How are you?

-Luis.

-I want to show you something. Look.

-You lied to me.

They're your friends.

-Yes.

-Look.

I want one. Do you have a

-Good afternoon.

-glass?

Hello.

What's this? A set-up?

Relax.

-I feel there's harmony here.

-Really?

-Cheers.

-I feel like the vibe

is kind of heavy, actually.

I guess I better leave, we should leave,

and arrive early at the estate.

No, I'm not going.

You told your parents. What will you do?

I don't care.

Go, if you want, I'm staying.

-Stay, stay, stay!

-Stay.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

I shouldn't have listened to that guy.

No, you should've listened

when I said to take the other path.

I'm really sorry, Mariana.

I'm just not here to waste time.

Joaquín is in jail.

My daughter is in a place

she doesn't know.

We have the same problems.

Do you really think

we have the same problems?

Carla.

I'm not your enemy.

I'm very sorry

for everything you've been through.

And I regret

that our daughters have to pay

the consequences of this situation.

Yes, that's true. They shouldn't

have to pay the consequences.

No, it's not their fault.

We're here for the same reason.

I agree with solidarity and equality,

but sometimes,

we need the system.

It's the only one we've got,

but what can we do?

Who says there's one system?

Human beings are the best

at coming up with unnecessary needs.

True.

Unnecessary needs?

Yes.

Who says you need ten pairs of shoes?

Two cars or three homes?

When we could live like this,

with nothing.

Where did those clothes come from?

Grew on a tree?

No, well, it's a donation.

Oh, so someone worked

for you to get dressed.

I call you lazy.

What do you think?

Well, I like that idea.

Yes, I like the idea of living

with nothing, disconnected from the world.

Why not? It's cool, right?

Instead, I'm getting bored

with all this philosophy.

Oh, yes.

Aren't we here to have fun?

-We are having fun.

-Yes.

-Why don't you teach me salsa dancing?

-Okay.

Let's do it.

-Show her the moves, the spice.

-Let's toast.

Yes, please.

Cheers.

Back.

Forward.

-Like you want to step on me.

-It's important that I don't.

That's a good start.

That's it, again.

-And

-Is your brother dating?

Tino?

Tino is single.

Why? Do you like him?

Turn around like that.

How are you doing?

Fine, hanging in there.

Although I'd rather be in a quieter place,

but you see, with Lucía Lucy.

Mm-hmm.

Are you really considering going

to the commune?

I am, you know?

Actually, it does sound good.

I've been going round

and round lately and

all I find is pain.

I don't want to feel more pain.

So

Yes, I think that place could help me.

Or any of the therapies

they do there, I guess. Right?

Now that you mention it,

I could write

an article about the commune.

Are you also going?

Why not?

Actually,

you could be the protagonist

of my documentary.

-Documentary?

-Mm-hmm.

What do you mean?

I'm a film director now.

-Director?

-Yes, seriously.

-Really?

-Yes.

How is that? Tell me.

The thing is

that the magazine isn't doing so well

for lack of sponsors.

So Roberto asked me to do

a documentary for a gringo.

That's the camera.

Oh, I see.

We wouldn't touch on

the drug trafficking matter.

And I need

a topic to resume my career.

You know?

And I think the commune

would be interesting.

-Yes.

-What do you say?

Would you like to do it with me?

Me?

Who else? Of course.

Why not?

-What?

-Didn't we leave the car there?

No, I don't think so, it was Hold on.

Madam!

Madam! Tell me something.

The car that was parked here, where is it?

What?

-Oh!

-What?

It must have been the Heredias.

The Heredias?

Damn it.

The guy you were with is a thief.

We must report him, then.

Is there a police station nearby?

No, not around here. It's one town over.

Where do we find them?

Why do you ask?

Are we going to look for them?

I don't know about you, Carla, but I am.

They must be at Mario's now.

Who is Mr. Mario? Where can we find him?

Where is Mariana?

The lady left and didn't say where she

was going or when she'd be back.

-Let me know as soon as she's here.

-Yes, sir.

Hello?

I hope you have some news.

All calm for now, sir.

I haven't heard

about Mrs. Mariana or Mrs. Carla.

I have men surveilling

at El Búcaro and Cali.

How about the prison?

It's all under control, sir.

Okay, stay put.

Anything that happens,

no matter how insignificant, let me know.

-Understood?

-Understood, boss.

-Look, there's the car.

-Yes.

And your friend, Andrés.

Mariana, please.

What are we going to do?

Well, I'm getting my car back.

I'm not going to let that jerk

steal from me.

Mariana!

What are you doing?

We should get the police.

The car won't be there

by the time the police come.

What if they're accompanied?

You're going to get k*lled?

Mariana!

Excuse me, I have to go.

Where do you think you're going?

Don't ask for trouble.

Get off, throw the keys.

-Mr. Mario, calm down.

-Throw the keys!

-Who's this woman?

-The owner of the car.

You're an idiot! Did they follow you?

You two, to the room. Come on, come on!

Come on.

Go, go.

-Easy, Mr. Mario.

-To the corner.

-Don't do anything.

-Go on.

-Take the chain, chain him up.

-Mr. Mario.

Come on!

-Quickly! Do it! Pull hard.

-This hard?

To the column. Get the lock.

Get it, come on.

Come on, put it on.

Hard!

Just give me money and I'll go.

Money? I have gunpowder for you.

You stole a car with its owner.

I can help you, she's not alone.

-She's not alone?

-She's with a friend.

-What?

-No, no!

I'm alone, she stayed at the homestead

where our car was stolen.

Please, sir, let me go.

Look, I have jewelry. They're gold.

-You can have them right now.

-Come on.

If you're looking for money,

I can give you a lot of money.

-A lot of money.

-Come on.

Please spare my life, sir, I beg you.

-I can get you money.

-Come on.

Sir, sir, I beg you! No, don't take her!

Don't take her, look

Don't do anything stupid.

Take the car!

We were never here. I beg you.

But don't don't hurt us.

Who are you? On your knees!

Kneel down, come on.

Don't hurt me, I beg you.

I have a daughter.

-What are you doing here?

-She has a daughter.

-Why are you here?

-We didn't do anything.

I swear we won't say anything

if you let us go.

Please, I beg you.

Put the g*n down.

Put the g*n down!

Drop it!

Be careful with that, woman.

Careful.

What's up, Prophet? And Tulio?

No idea.

Where could he be?

Tulio, I'm looking for him. Pucho!

-Brother, I'm looking for Tulio.

-He went to the bathroom a while ago.

Oh, Tulio, no!

Tulio, resist!

Help, help!

Ma'am, don't leave me here.

Help me, that guy will k*ll me.

What do we do now?

Look for Aguilar.

Don't move.

Cervical, fine.

Stay still, now.

Trachea intact.

No, they're just abrasions. It's fine.

Go take a walk, Jacinto,

check if it's raining outside, okay?

Try not to talk too much, okay?

What were you thinking, Tulio?

I don't want to be responsible

for anything bad happening to my mom.

-I don't want to endanger her.

-Endanger? Why?

I promised I'd take care of your mom.

Right now, Ángel must be hiding her

in my house in Cali.

I betrayed you.

What do you mean, Tulio?

Rowdy threatened to k*ll my mom

if I didn't help him.

-Help him with what?

-Telling him everything about you.

He knows everything.

What's everything? What did you say?

Tell me what you told him!

He knows you're looking

for Sergeant Aguilar.

I'm sorry, sir.

Forgive me.

Easy, don't move. Don't move.

Medina. Medina!

I need to make an urgent call.

Your privileges are over, man.

Tell me how much you want.

You know that money

isn't a problem for me.

I doubt you'll give me a better offer.

What offer?

Offer? What are you saying?

Mr. Benítez.

He asked me to send you

his regards when I see you.

Easy. Go back inside.

What are you looking at, snitch?

I'm going.

Hello?

Hello!

-Hello, how can I help you?

-Hello.

We're looking for Sergeant León Aguilar,

please.

Listen, ma'am, this is private property.

Do me a favor and get out.

But are you León Aguilar?

Who are you?

-Nice to meet you, Mariana Azcárate, and

-I'm Carla Williams.

My husband is Joaquín Mosquera.

He told me that about 20 years ago,

you helped him escape

when they were trying to k*ll him.

Remember?

I don't know what you're saying.

I've lived in this ranch too long

without bothering anyone, in peace.

So what's your name?

You better go.

Did you witness when Rogelio Benítez

shot Joaquín Mosquera?

-Rogelio Benítez?

-Yes, yes, then

If it sounds familiar,

you must be León Aguilar.

We really need your help.

Please.

It's been too many years

and my head doesn't work like it used to.

So what do you remember?

Well, I remember that

Benítez took us to La Victoria.

We have to take you.

I didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything, Rogelio!

We had to capture a bandit.

And, on the way to Cali,

he escaped.

I caught him in the gorge.

Don't move!

-Stop!

-Don't sh**t!

I swear I'm innocent.

I'll never forget the fear

on his face when I surrounded him.

He offered me a gold chain to escape.

Yes, I gave him that chain.

I sent it with a letter

telling him I was pregnant.

Rogelio gave it back to me

when he told me Joaquín was dead.

He got it off the floor after sh**ting.

He did it in cold blood.

The man fell into the river,

we thought he was dead.

And then you both met again?

Yes, I recognized him.

Stop, don't move.

I remember his face when I caught him.

He was confused.

-Do you really not remember?

-I don't.

Scared.

But he did remember you.

-What did he say?

-He didn't know where he was,

he was confused.

But his face changed

when he heard your name.

-Mariana?

-He seemed to be looking for you.

So you remember.

Yes, they had just separated us.

I think that

we're drifting away from the point,

and what's really important.

Would you tell all this to the judge?

No, ma'am, I can't.

And you better start heading back because

the road is dangerous at night.

But why won't you testify?

Do you think that a judge of the Republic

will believe an ex-cop

who took a bribe and went to jail for it?

Listen, Aguilar.

You witnessed Rogelio Benítez

sh**t Joaquín in cold blood.

Joaquín is in jail right now.

And you know he's innocent.

If Rogelio goes unpunished,

you'll be his accomplice.

Are you Ignacia Peña?

If you're Evangelicals,

I don't believe in God.

We're looking

for Ignacia Peña, is that you?

It depends on who's asking.

I'm a mother looking for her son.

Twenty years ago,

a man named Jesús

sold two children to you.

I need to know where they are.

I paid enough for what I did.

Now, as you can see,

I'm a working old lady.

Madam, we're not here to judge you.

We're just two women trying to find

two missing children and you can help.

I took in a lot of kids back then.

And I helped them,

even if they accused me

of horrible things.

Now, if you'll excuse me, ladies.

Like I said,

I have a lot of work and I'm busy.

Take care.

What do you need to remember?

How much do you need

to refresh your memory?

You don't look like you could

offer me much, to be honest.

We need information, the mother

of the other child will help you, surely.

Aren't you the mom?

I'm a friend,

but she's from a good family.

She will surely thank you

greatly for your help.

-What year are we talking about now?

An older man with two two-year-olds.

He said he sold them.

Those little kids

didn't stay with me for long.

Until they were 11 or 12 years old,

that's it.

-Do you know where they are now?

-I don't.

Life

Life and the police

separated us.

One of them came to visit recently,

he visits me because he loves me a lot.

Is he in Cali?

Perhaps.

I could find him.

No, no.

Give us the info and we'll find him.

So nice.

What? And then you disappear.

I'll find him

and then we'll close the deal.

Cash in hand, feet on the ground.

No, enough. Okay.

Drink the whole glass of water.

-The idea is to feed Lucy.

-Drink more.

-Don't eat it.

-I'm checking if it's bad.

-Yes.

-Sure.

-It's cold, warm it up a little.

-I'm good.

You have to eat before going to sleep.

No, I don't want to sleep.

What time is it?

-Tino, how much longer?

-I just started the potatoes.

-Sara, we can take Lucy to the estate.

-No!

I think it's better if she stays here.

Right? Lucy, do you remember

the number for El Búcaro?

-The estate?

-What for?

To call your mom

and tell her you'll stay over.

Oh, my mom doesn't even know I'm here.

She's going to punish me.

Colombians are so dramatic.

I'll play some music.

Okay, sit down. Stay seated. Here.

Dial the estate's number.

Do you remember it? Dial it.

Dial it.

Hello?

Hello? Who is this? Sorry.

It's Ángel, who is this?

Hi, Ángel. I'm looking for Carla,

is she there?

Mrs. Carla is not here right now.

Who's calling?

I'm Sara, Mariana Azcárate's daughter.

I just wanted to let you know

that I'm with Lucy

and that she'll stay with me

here in Cali tonight.

Is she all right?

Yes, yes, it's just a little late now

so she'll spend the night here.

Ángel!

Tell my mom I'm never coming back.

-I'm independent.

-Stop.

Miss Lucy, are you drunk?

No, I'm happy. I'm very happy

because I'm a city girl, not a farm girl.

Ángel.

Yes, listen, Lucy is fine.

And we'll be at the estate tomorrow, okay?

No, we're not going back.

Miss Lucy?

-Lucy, what's going on?

-I might throw up.

No, uh bring

Get something, get it quickly.

-Here, here.

-Drink water, drink.

No, no. No!

Careful, careful.

Careful.

Careful, Lucy. Oh, okay.

Okay.

-Okay, I'll set it up here for you.

-My head hurts.

Come lay down here. Lie down. Lucy!

Oh, come.

-No.

-Come here.

-This bed is moving, it's moving.

-Put a foot on the ground.

We've all been through

that first time with liquor.

There.

Oh, no. Look at me. To

To escape a problem,

I got into another one.

No, no, a problem? It's not serious.

Tomorrow you'll feel better, you'll see.

No, yes, it's serious because

while I'm lying here in bed,

my dad is in jail,

and your mom and my mom

are trying to help him.

What? Are they helping Joaquín together?

Yes, didn't you know?

No, I didn't know,

it's just that it all seems so strange.

Mm-hmm.

As strange as the fact

that you and I could be sisters.

Well, half sisters.

I'd rather not think about that.

No, me neither.

My mom will feel worse than she does

if my dad leaves with your mom.

Well, anyway, our parents' problems

can't be our own.

Oh, no.

I need to clear

my head.

Are you talking about Tino or Joel?

What? What do you mean?

You don't have to be a psychic

to see how they both look at you.

Well, that's all in the past now.

What? Did you date both of them?

It's a very long story

that I don't want to get into now, but

that already happened, it's over.

That means that if I go for Tino,

that wouldn't be a problem.

Right?

No.

No, you can do whatever you want.

Tino is not an easy guy, I'll warn you.

Mmm No. Tomorrow's another day.

Don't underestimate me.

Well, I'm leaving.

Get some rest.

Bye.

Take care.

CAUCA VALLEY DISTRICT PRISON

I know what I'm asking you

is a bit uncomfortable, but

you're the only person

who gets visitors during the week.

Plus, Benítez prohibited any phone calls.

Yes.

Mariana and Carla

have to find out right away

that Benítez knows about Aguilar.

I don't need an explanation,

you know we're a family here.

-Who's supposed to visit me?

-Your granddaughter.

My granddaughter.

You have to tell her

that she should only give the note

to her personally.

To Mariana or Carla.

No one else.

Is she trustworthy?

María is a discreet girl,

nobody will suspect her.

-Hello, sir.

-Good afternoon.

-Sir.

-How are you?

Well, León Aguilar is willing to testify.

He witnessed when Rogelio Benítez

shot Joaquín in cold blood, and then

he forced him

to say it was in self-defense.

Who is he?

He's a sergeant who, many years ago,

was removed from the police

due to a corruption accusation.

You're asking me

to go to the judge and ask him

to consider the testimony of a witness

who magically shows up 20 years later

after being removed for corruption?

No, sir, he didn't magically show up.

I came looking for him

with Joaquín's information.

And nobody has heard from him in 20 years?

Because Joaquín hit his head

and lost his memory.

That's not conclusive.

Don't you think it's conclusive that I,

the assumed victim of this whole matter,

am trying to liberate

my alleged aggressor?

Please, sir, Joaquín is innocent,

and Aguilar can prove that.

Look, all we need

is another judge

to give us a private hearing

for Aguilar's testimony.

You could actually save

an innocent person who's in jail,

for God's sake.

Look,

let's see what I can do.

I can't promise anything.

Okay, thank you.

One thing.

Are you sure your witness will show up?

Yes, I'm sure.

Come.

You will stay here

in one of these rooms,

that way you'll be safe

until you testify, okay?

It's better if you don't go out.

It could be dangerous.

I'll get you some food

in a moment and a radio

for you to distract yourself.

-Will I really be safe?

-You'll be fine.

Thank you.

Mr. Aguilar?

Yes,

but nobody can find out who he is,

and especially what he's doing here.

-Okay?

-Sure.

Let's go.

Where's Lucy?

Miss Lucy is in Cali

with Mrs. Mariana Azcárate's daughter.

Why? What is she doing there?

Well, we had a situation

at the estate and

and in a moment of carelessness,

she left.

But she promised me she'd be back today.

I hope.

I hope so.

Hello, welcome.

This wonderful space

is called Freedom Community

and we're with one of its members,

Luis, who will be our guide today.

Thank you so much for the invitation

and for you to accept this invitation,

in fact.

-Welcome, everyone.

-Thanks.

Ready? Welcome.

Welcome, here we are in paradise.

Even though we're a few meters

above Cali, the climate here is ideal.

Brothers, sisters,

I want to introduce you

to the new members of our community.

Hi.

They need to get away

from the material world.

Come, I want to show you

the essence of our community.

Mother Earth bears the fruit,

and we keep this beautiful garden.

In our community,

we also manufacture different things.

Some of our clothing,

crafts,

not everything is donated.

Do you want to see where you'll sleep?

This is your humble

but cozy abode.

Wait, what?

The four of us are sleeping here?

Yes, there are two mattresses

for you to share.

It's not a problem.

For me, either, of course.

Do you really care if we share?

If you want, you can sleep in my cabin

or with any of the other people.

We share everything here.

Beds, food, clothing.

-Love.

-Well, love is free.

You're all like old people.

Rest for now, but don't eat anything.

We're having a ceremony.

A ceremony?

Mrs. Mariana met with a prosecutor

on the outskirts of Cali.

And what happened?

She arrived in a car,

and the prosecutor was in another car.

Oh, and what happened?

They spoke for about 15 minutes

and they each went their own way.

-Nothing on Aguilar?

-Nothing, sir.

I have a few men

on their way to El Búcaro.

They saw Joaquín's wife arrive,

but she was alone.

All right, stay vigilant.

Let me know if anything.

Of course.

Damn it.

-Mr. Alfredo, let yourself be helped.

-I don't need it.

Berenice.

I know it's not pleasant

to depend on other people, Alfredo,

but such is life, hmm?

There always comes a time

when we depend on someone else

to get what we want.

What do you want?

To help you, hmm?

Eat up.

Our common enemy, Joaquín,

found a witness who could involve me

in the m*rder attempt.

That's your problem.

No.

Alfredo, remember that my problems

are your problems.

Eat up.

Mariana is behind all of this.

And we must stop her.

What can I do in the state I'm in?

Don't underestimate yourself.

Alfredo, please.

You still have a lot of influence over

Mariana, and that can help us.

Remember

if I go down, you'll go down with me.

VISITING ROOM

Your granddaughter is cute, Jorge.

Raise your arms, the frisk.

-Since when do they frisk visitors?

-Raise them.

Since when do your granddaughters

come to visit you?

Tell me.

Enjoy it.

Door.

Don't worry, I know how to conceal things.

Maura! Can you get me a coffee, please?

How was the ride?

I imagine it went well

since you're wearing yesterday's clothes.

I don't know why you're here,

nobody wants you here.

Perhaps not you, but your dad

appreciates my presence.

Yesterday, for example, you had

disappeared.

He felt sick and I helped him.

You should be more grateful.

-Dad, how are you?

-Hmm?

I'm thinking.

No, I can't change the past.

Neither mine nor yours.

I think it's time to pay

for the mistakes that were made.

Dad, stop thinking about the past.

Let's concentrate on the future,

everything will be fine.

Sometimes I feel very guilty.

But I see you and

I'm happy to know that

I didn't ruin your whole life.

You were able to move forward despite

all the terrible things I did to you.

Dad, we all make mistakes,

let's not think about it anymore.

Trust me.

Rogelio will soon leave this house

and it'll all be back to normal.

My child,

Rogelio

Rogelio is in this house

because I brought him.

-And he won't leave.

-Yes, he will.

-He'll leave.

-He's got us trapped.

Rogelio thinks he's invincible,

but we found a way to make him pay.

What is that?

We found a witness who will hold him

accountable to justice.

Rogelio always gets his way.

He'll find that witness.

-No, Dad.

-He'll silence him.

The witness is in a safe place.

Oh, good morning.

Are you the dean?

Yes, madam, how can I help you?

I'm looking for a teacher here

whose name is Tino.

Tino Domínguez.

Do you know him?

Yes, Mr. Tino doesn't work

at this institution anymore.

Do you know where I could find him?

No, Mr. Tino

isn't welcome at this institution.

I guess that when he was welcome

Perhaps a phone number, or an address.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, it's just that

his aunt died

and he was her only relative,

and it's been so tragic for us

because we can't find him.

Help us, please.

Let's see, madam, I think

Maybe we can ask my secretary,

although teachers don't leave

their personal info here.

It's not common. Let's go.

Will you come with me?

You're an angel, didn't he have friends?

Let's raise our palms to the sky.

Mother nature,

we open our senses

to let your wisdom guide us

in this journey of discovery.

No fear?

We have to experiment.

Let the muse come.

No, wait.

You don't have to if you don't want to.

You can't force people to get drugged.

It's not a drug, it's medicine.

-But it's not right.

-Joel.

Nobody is making me do anything,

I want to do this.

I don't feel anything.

Hello.

I'm confused.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

We'll see each other soon.

We'll see each other.

Mom, is that you? Mom, is it you?

Yes, it's me.

It's me, it's me, it's

What are you doing here?

I'm checking your homework.

I want to sleep.

Did you talk to Mariana?

Alfredo,

help us, we don't have much time.

Don't make me hurt Mariana.

I swear, I don't want to,

but if I have no alternative,

Mariana will pay, and you'll stay

in this bed your whole life.

Did Mariana tell you

about Sergeant Aguilar, yes or no?

But it felt so real,

like I was really there.

-Thanks.

-It's because you were.

You'll understand when you start

looking at the world around us as unique.

We're all energy, we're all matter.

The mushroom opened your mind.

It crossed channels that were closed.

So that means that I saw my mom,

that that I was really with my mom,

right?

How can that be? My mom is dead.

That depends on how you look at it.

I like to see you so focused

and painting like this.

Sometimes, I get along better

with paint than human beings.

They'll really miss you

when you leave here.

Our Lord heard your prayers,

and let's say I helped a bit

so that it would reach the right ears.

I don't follow.

The director of the sanatorium agreed

to let you go and return to the estate.

-Really?

-Yes.

Thanks.

I didn't expect it.

And you're not going alone.

I'll come with you.

Hello, good morning.

Miss Josefina Mosquera, please.

Yes, who is this?

I'm Ignacia Peña.

I actually found one of the boys.
