01x31 - Episode 31

Post by bunniefuu »

No. No, no.

Even selling two harvests in advance,

we won't reach this figure.

Selling a harvest

that wasn't sowed is pretty hard.

-We could sell part of the land.

-No. We'd k*ll my dad. No.

Your dad is not here.

We have to solve this.

The land is not for sale, period.

We have to find another solution.

I could get part of the money.

How?

Lenders.

I already did that.

We'd get Stewart out of the way.

I don't want to trade one problem

for another. I'm tired of this situation.

I want a more definitive solution.

That way, we'll get rid of those IOUs.

But they're there.

Mariana, let me find a way

to get the money.

I don't see how.

You asked me for help, right?

Then trust me.

Thank you.

One question.

What do we do with Graciliano?

What about him?

He's at the police station.

What do you suggest, that we get him out?

We're in trouble because of Graciliano.

What is he going to do

the next time he's drunk? Try to k*ll us?

I think he's a little old and crazy

and he doesn't know what he's doing.

But we do.

That's the difference.

Who represents those

who aren't liberal or conservative?

Nobody. So we need

to express our dissatisfaction.

But not with silly, peaceful protests.

We have to instill fear in them.

Make them sh*t their pants.

I think you have enough political maturity

for me to take you to some talks, come on.

This is for you and this is the address

where you can go, but listen,

be very careful, because you know

how the university takes these things.

Look. Watch it. Hey.

Um Could I get one of those?

I was walking by and I overheard,

and I thought it was super interesting.

If you give me more flyers,

I can bring a lot of friends

to your meeting.

Who are you?

I've never seen you in school.

I'm a freshman in law school.

Or I used to be,

I dropped out a couple of weeks ago

since I disagree

with the board's education plan.

Why are you here if you're not studying?

What do you want?

To help you recruit more people.

I work for a newspaper with a journalist

who's very interested in interviewing

alias Ramón. I think you could help us.

I don't know about that.

So the deal

with Mr. Summer is already done.

That's right.

Mr. Summer is really happy.

What's more,

he'll have another business for you soon.

Mm-hmm. That's great.

Joe's work? Man!

-The best.

-Yes.

We also feel like we can trust him.

I always choose the best.

Well,

I'm happy to keep working together.

Since we're all happy,

why don't we think big?

The next shipment could be twice as big.

Give us the proposal,

I'll bring it to Mr. Summer myself.

Cheers.

I knew I had to do it myself.

Why on earth would you be up-front?

It was our only chance

and you just ruined it.

How will we set that meeting now?

It's better to be up-front

than have them suspect you.

Without his trust,

he'll never be our ally.

I disagree. There's a protocol.

First, you're a part of the meeting,

-then you meet people

-We don't have time for that, you know it.

After this, I hope Roberto understands

that we can't work together.

Get in.

Do you want to interview him or not?

I'll go. Go back to the office.

I'm also coming.

Put this over your head.

I don't want to hear you talk.

I won't put this on.

-Put it on, I said.

-Okay, okay.

-We'll be in touch, sir.

-Yes, sir.

At your service.

A drink, Viche.

Joe, that idiot, struck a deal

without my authorization.

I had told him

a thousand times not to do that.

I don't think he would do that.

Then he'll have to explain,

because what Mr. Summer's guy said

doesn't make sense.

He also hasn't been around, he's nowhere.

That means he won't face me.

He can't hide for the rest of his life.

Of course not.

He'll have to explain this.

That money he made is mine.

I need money right now.

Mr. Rogelio, what are you going to do

to justify to Mrs. Mariana

where you got the money from?

I'll tell her I have a rich friend

named Viche who lent it to me.

Sure, sir.

You can count on me.

I need to get close to Mariana right now.

She's desperate, vulnerable.

She finally realized she needs me.

You know,

you might have to thank Mr. Stewart,

actually.

By taking away the land,

he's saving your marriage.

No.

I won't be losing anything,

on the contrary.

I will earn what I deserve.

Mariana and La Victoria.

Berenice.

Madam?

I need you to give this letter to Ángel.

Who?

Ángel, your cousin.

Mr. Stewart's right hand.

Mrs. Mariana. Madam!

Don't even bother, Berenice,

I know the truth.

So Ángel is your cousin?

How much did you get paid to spy?

Mrs. Mariana, they never paid me,

-but my cousin

-It doesn't matter.

I get it.

But I need you now too.

They said I could trust you.

Sure. I promise I won't disappoint you.

So take this letter today.

It's very important.

What happened?

Something is giving me doubts, Viche.

Why does Mariana want to help

the guy who got us into this mess?

Graciliano.

She should hate him but doesn't.

She still defends him.

That doesn't add up.

Well, Mr. Rogelio,

I think this is your chance.

Don't waste it.

Viche, Viche

Life taught me

that you can't trust anybody.

For example, this idiot, Joe.

Everyone, sooner or later,

takes out their claws and betrays you.

So be careful.

I inform you that the newspaper

knows where we are.

They know we're doing this,

and if we don't show up,

they'll start a search.

What if they never let us go?

Whatever happens,

I won't let anyone hurt you, okay?

We're in this together

and we'll get out together.

Stop.

What?

Who told you

about the undercover at the university?

We're journalists and journalists

never reveal their sources.

Don't worry.

We have nothing to do

with the police or the army.

We work for The Valley Observer,

we'd like to interview you.

An interview about what?

Last year's m*ssacre

caused by the student uprising.

I think it would be good

for you to expose your point of view

about the social

and political issues in the country.

Let's do the interview. The camera.

I'll give it to you. I will.

You'll only take pictures of what I say.

Okay?

To the camp.

Why choose the path of weapons?

In a country with no democracy,

it's the only way.

This is a democratic country.

Having elections

doesn't mean it's a democracy.

People don't vote anymore

because no one represents them.

So who do you represent?

We represent change.

Does that involve signing up

young naive people with false promises?

Miss, we don't fool anyone here.

And it's the gentleman

who is doing the interview.

-I also have a voice, sir.

-Sara, please.

But I happen to be in charge.

You want the interview, right?

-Of course.

-Two things.

First, be quiet.

Second,

I decide what to answer.

-Okay. She'll collaborate

-Major, they say the guerrillas

-are full of machismo. Are they?

-Sara!

-Comments, girls?

-Sara.

I said shut her up. Understood?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Let's keep going.

Here.

Thanks.

Mrs. Mariana knows I'm your cousin.

Ángel, I'm scared.

-What if she turns against me?

-No.

That won't happen.

I assure you, they're good people.

We have to help them a little more.

Isn't all of this dangerous?

Ángel, what's going on?

Going on with what?

What's the matter?

What's going on with Mr. Stewart

and Mrs. Mariana? What is it?

Cousin, I can't tell you, okay?

I can only thank you for what you did

and offer you a coffee. Yes?

Let's go.

Sir?

Thank you.

We have it all.

Do you realize how fortunate we are?

Just look around

This landscape is perfect.

You're the perfect landscape for me.

Are you afraid?

Of what?

Why?

No We knew that very few people

would understand our love.

It's better if nobody finds out.

Keep up appearances and keep our distance

while we try to live our lives.

-I don't want us to be far away.

-That's not what I mean.

What if I have a way for us to talk

without anyone knowing?

What is it?

Writing each other letters.

That's the most dangerous thing

we could do.

There's a way.

-What is it?

-Fire.

Read and burn?

No.

An invisible ink

that only you and I can see.

Mm-hmm.

-How does that work?

-You don't believe me?

Do you have paper?

MY LOVE, FOR NOW

My love,

for now, everything is going well.

Rogelio looks very worried

and is looking for a solution.

He insists on getting the money,

but how? Where from?

It's very difficult to be near him.

Get close to him.

The worst part is having to pretend.

I hate him for stealing the life

we could've lived together.

I have this constant feeling

that he's lying to me.

He says he can get the money.

What if he's been stealing

from my father all these years?

Take care, my love.

We know Rogelio is capable of anything.

I'm sure he's coming up

with a plan to hurt you.

We have to be very careful.

We'll be together soon.

Why wouldn't they let us go?

Why not let us go already?

Try to sleep.

I can't sleep. I think we got

ourselves into the lion's den, Tino.

If they want to improve their conditions,

why don't they work like everybody else?

It's not that simple.

Not everyone was born

with your same privileges.

That's not my fault.

I'm not saying that.

You're not. But they are.

Because that's what they think.

They think people like me

and my family are the enemy.

Do you know the amount of progress

my grandpa has brought to the region?

By exploiting and abusing how many?

So are you really defending them? Really?

Calm down. Calm down.

What's going on?

What is it?

Relax.

I'm scared, Tino.

Did you see the hatred in that guy's eyes

when he looked at me?

I don't want to die yet.

I'll die before I let anything

happen to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for

for making you suffer,

and for hurting you so much

and leaving you alone.

Don't worry.

I know you're in love with Joel.

Try to get some sleep.

SANTIAGO DE CALI HOSPITAL

Berenice.

Sir.

I need water

and something for this headache.

-Please.

-Of course.

I hear you're a bit of a healer.

So they say.

Work your magic, I need to get better

and think clearly, in particular.

You're close friends with Joe. Right?

A little.

Drink it in one gulp.

Thanks.

I hope it works.

Do you know what my wife did last night?

Mrs. Mariana

waited for you the whole time.

The whole time?

Yes.

Do me another favor.

Don't tell anyone you saw me arrive.

Don't worry.

Get up. Get up, we're leaving.

Quick. Sit up.

-Where are we going?

-That doesn't matter.

You're going, she's staying.

-No. I'm not staying.

-What do you mean?

-Hang on.

-Wait. Let go of him.

-Let him go.

-It's an order.

Speak to the major, not me.

-Call him.

-What's going on?

Let her go, please.

No. I'll get more money for her.

Cover his head.

-No. No!

-Wait.

Wait a second. You'll get more money,

but it comes with a loss of prestige.

Or what? Are you turning into kidnappers?

-Come on, let's go.

-Stop.

Let him go! Let him go!

Wait. Take this off.

I'm a journalist. Take it off.

You're a journalist,

you asked questions already.

But how long was it? Five minutes.

And you replied as you wished.

What do you suggest?

To stay here for as long as necessary.

Live among you, understand your cause

and tell the world out there

-what you're really about.

-Tino. No.

Are you really willing to stay

to save her skin?

-Yes, I'm willing to do that.

-Tino. Don't.

And I'll document what you're doing.

Cover his head. Take him away.

No. Let him go.

I'm going with him.

Get off me. Let him go. Let me go.

-Let's talk for a minute.

-Let go of me.

Sara. Are you okay?

Take this off me. Sara!

Get off me, take this off. Where is Sara?

Madam! Madam, he's here

and asked about you.

What you did last night.

Beware.

Sara.

Sara.

Do something. We need

-A doctor, quick.

-Where do you think we are?

If something happens to her,

it's your fault!

A doctor in the jungle?

Don't do this to me, man.

Sara.

Rogelio, where were you?

I was worried.

Why?

You never used to care.

But now I do.

Hmm

Before

you wouldn't even want me back.

You thought I was

repulsive.

No, don't use that word. That's not true.

Let's not lie to ourselves, Mariana.

I never got you to love me,

especially not like you loved him.

Rogelio, that was 20 years ago.

We're here now.

Let's focus on the present.

We have a lot of problems to face.

The estate could end up

in Mr. Stewart's hands.

I want my dad to know he can trust you

when he wakes up. And me.

So now you think I'm capable?

I've always known the man you are

and what you're capable of.

Always.

And I need you.

I'm not as strong as you think.

I'm Alfredo's daughter, in the end.

I've had my disagreements with my dad,

but he's been my pillar, my support.

When he's gone, I

I will be alone.

I know, it's horrible to admit it,

but it's true.

You'll never be alone.

Rogelio, forgive me.

Forgive me if I made you feel bad.

If I made you feel

like I didn't appreciate you.

I realize now

that you've always been with me.

If something happens to my dad,

I only have you.

Let's start over.

Okay.

I'm willing to start over, Mariana.

I'm willing to do anything for you.

I'm fighting for the estate,

for the family, for you, and everything.

Let's start over as husband and wife.

As my wife.

FOR TINO'S SURGERY

-Don't get it.

-Who is it?

Madam, it's urgent!

-We're busy!

-You have a call from the hospital.

It's the hospital!

Oh, my dad! My dad.

-Mariana

-It could be urgent.

I'm sorry I interrupted.

Thank you.

Yes, Doctor, how are you?

Sure.

Yes, sure. I'll be right there.

Goodbye.

What's going on?

The doctor needs to speak to me

personally about my dad's condition.

-We have to decide on a treatment for him.

-Okay.

-I'll come with you.

-No, no. Relax.

Stay here, there's a lot to do.

We're here.

We're here.

All right, then. Come on, get out.

-And?

-I'm getting out!

Come on!

These guys know where we live, Tino.

I shouldn't have let you get involved.

Sara.

Josefina!

Josefina!

-Easy. Easy.

-What happened?

-Help her, please.

-Come, sweetie. Come.

-What is it?

-I'm feeling dizzy.

Careful, sweetheart.

I'll call a doctor.

No, no, Jose, it's not necessary.

I'll be fine with a glass of water.

-I'd also like some water, please.

-I'll get water.

Thanks.

-I told you this job

-Don't dare tell me it's not for me.

Because it isn't, Sara.

They could've kidnapped you.

You'd be up in the hills right now

with a guerrilla front.

-With whom you get along with great.

-That has nothing to do with it.

I just don't want to be responsible

if something happens to you.

-I won't forgive myself.

-But you're not responsible for me.

I wouldn't want to go through

another situation like that.

We can't work together.

You didn't even ask me if I wanted to.

You could've said no

to Roberto's proposal,

but you didn't speak up.

Okay, here's the water.

Here, honey.

-Thanks.

-Thanks.

I'm going to lie down.

Oh. This isn't normal.

I'll take you to your room.

Ow.

-Good morning

-Joe.

You'll have to call a doctor,

Sarita is very sick.

What? What happened? Sara!

Has she felt like that for a bit?

What is it?

Call a doctor, I'll go check on her.

No, no. Come here.

How am I going to call a doctor

if I don't know anybody?

Hi, honey.

What happened?

Oh, I needed to see you.

I detest Rogelio.

I can't stand his smell,

his breathing, his presence.

I told you it was crazy.

You've got to get out of there quickly.

I don't know how to do it.

There must be a way out.

Let's go to the police.

With what proof?

I don't know. But it doesn't make sense

to keep risking it, Mariana.

I can do it.

I can do it. I just needed to see you

and hug you

to know that this whole sacrifice

is worth it.

How much more?

My mom has been sacrificed,

my dad, Roy, us.

I think this will work, really.

I'll take care of Rogelio

and you'll get your dad out of jail.

That's the problem,

my dad isn't in his right mind.

He insists on paying

for everything he did now.

There won't be a lawyer

who'll defend him that way.

I know a lawyer who could help us.

We have to convince your dad.

-Joel, what are you doing here?

-Don't get up.

What is it?

The doctor wants to speak to you.

What's a doctor doing here? Why?

You were decompensated.

Your vital signs are fine,

but I need to run some tests

to find out why you're fainting.

Just ask, Doctor.

I'd rather it be in private.

-Joe.

-We're like family.

Excuse me.

-How is she?

-What did the doctor say?

She didn't find anything wrong.

She's asking her some questions

to figure out what happened.

I'm glad she's conscious, you know?

Yes, she's conscious.

Were you with her when she fainted?

Yes, working.

On what?

An article.

An article about who or what?

What does that have to do

with Sara's health?

I want to know if working with you

is affecting my girlfriend.

Very funny.

Why won't you tell me?

We're working with a newspaper

called The Valley Observer.

They asked us to interview

a guerrilla leader.

-What? Did you join the guerrillas?

-No. No.

We didn't get into anything.

It's just an interview.

Do you realize that you put

her life at risk, you jerk?

-What?

-Okay, calm down.

Calm down.

I didn't ask anyone for anything.

Sara wanted to do it.

You couldn't tell her no, right?

Because you're happy

I'm not sure how you treat women,

but I don't like to boss them around.

If something happens to her

-Yes, yes.

-No, listen to me.

-You and I will talk.

-Whatever you say.

Is it the first time

you've been dizzy like this?

Yes.

Have you had sugar issues?

I don't think so.

When was your last period?

About two months ago.

Do you think I'm?

Have you had sexual relations?

Yes.

Did you use birth control?

Pills? Condoms?

You don't know where Joe is?

No, I don't, sir.

He said he'd find a warehouse

to store the merchandise.

Warehouse?

-What's wrong with the one we have?

-I don't know.

What happened? Speak up.

We saw a journalist lurking around

a few days ago, sir.

Journalist?

What did you do? Who was it?

We caught him, beat him up,

and then Joe took care of him.

Don't think I'm stupid.

I spoke with one of Summer's men,

he said the sale was done.

I haven't heard, sir.

You should ask Joe.

I just follow orders.

Joe's or mine?

Yours. Yours, of course.

So tell Joel to come as soon as possible.

If someone is making deals

behind my back, they're dead.

I'll let you know, sir. For sure.

Get the merchandise ready,

I need money immediately.

As you wish, sir.

How is the girl?

What happened?

She's fine, but she's still weak.

She should rest

until she gets the tests I asked for.

But if she's getting tests done,

that means it's bad, it's serious.

Doctor Go ahead,

you can tell us the truth.

Who are you?

-I'm her boyfriend.

-I'm her best friend.

I'm the head of the house

and I'm responsible for her.

Well, I can't tell you

much more right now.

But if you have a question,

speak with the patient

and she can decide what to tell you.

I have to get going now. Excuse me.

-Thank you, Doctor.

-Thanks so much.

Have a good day.

I'll speak to my girlfriend.

What is it?

The doctor got all mysterious

and wouldn't tell us.

I'd like for you to trust me.

What happened?

It's nothing.

I might be anemic

because I haven't eaten well

the past few weeks.

Okay.

Why the tests?

Routine.

Are you sure that's all?

Yes. It's just that.

And Tino? Where is he?

Out there.

He told me you interviewed

a guerrilla major.

-What were you thinking?

-No, no, stop.

I don't want to talk about it.

I need to rest.

Okay.

I'll ask Josefina to make you some food,

because if you're anemic,

you definitely have to eat.

Yes, I'm anemic.

Hi.

-Hi.

-How did it go?

-Look.

-Good and bad.

Can you be more specific?

Good because I found the major.

Bad because I went with Sara.

Really, Tino?

-Do you know what I think about that?

-I know. I'm not thinking with my head.

Do you know what I'd do

if my leg wasn't hurt?

I'd go to the hills. I'd settle,

I'd focus on the article.

Then I wouldn't think about her.

Guess what, I have great news about that.

I don't know who, but someone,

donated this money for your surgery.

Really?

-"For Tino's surgery."

-An anonymous donation.

I asked my acquaintances

because they know you,

but it wasn't them.

-So

-So who donated all this money?

-Could it have been Sara?

-I'm not sure.

I don't know anyone else in your circle

who has that kind of money.

See? I want to forget her

and she just materializes.

Oh, Tino.

Ofelia.

Oh, Mariana.

-How are you?

-Fine. How is my dad?

Up and down.

Sometimes he seems to be conscious

and then he fades again.

It's important that you sign

the paper right now.

-Let's go. Did the doctor tell you?

-I haven't talked to him.

You didn't speak with him?

Rogelio told me you did.

-You spoke with Rogelio?

-Yes.

I called home because the doctor

is looking for you to sign some papers

for a few exams.

Rogelio told me

You didn't speak with the doctor.

-And you lied to Rogelio.

-Yes.

And I exposed your lie.

It's fine, Ofelia, don't worry.

What matters now is

-I'm sorry.

-Don't worry.

What matters is that

he gets those tests done.

Mr. Alfredo.

Please try to move your fingers

on this hand, okay?

Don't worry.

You don't have to make a big effort now.

I'm going to ask you some questions.

Blink once for yes.

Twice for no. Understood?

Is your name Alfredo Azcárate?

Do you feel your extremities?

But you can't move them?

The damage that the pressure point causes

is at the motor level, not cognitive.

So I'll speak with your family

to let them know you're conscious now.

Take it easy, Mr. Alfredo. Relax.

Do you want me to talk to them?

To your family?

And your daughter?

Do you want me to tell her

that you're conscious?

At least have a bite.

I don't want any. I really don't.

Sara, you're not helping,

and I won't leave until you eat.

Joe, I really don't want any.

I'm not hungry.

It needs something, right?

A little lemon?

A little lemon.

Let's see.

Joe, I'm not anemic.

I'm not anemic.

-But the doctor said

-No, the doctor said nothing.

I said I was anemic. But I'm not.

I don't get it. What do you have?

Well

The doctor said there's a chance

I might be

pregnant.

Really?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because we still don't know.

I need to run some tests to confirm it.

It's the best news I've had in my life.

Why aren't you happy? Aren't you pleased?

Because I'm not ready to be a mom.

Nobody is ready to be a mom

or a dad the first time.

I also wasn't planning

on having a child

at this point in my life.

So you?

No. Not at all. I mean,

if that's the case, and I'm pregnant,

I'll try to give this baby the best life

and be the best mom and

And we'll be the best parents.

I will also give him

everything I never had and

I will get a home for the three of us.

I'll give my life

for you to have the best.

I don't want you to think

Promise me you won't tell anybody.

My family can't find out.

Sure. They won't find out.

Promise me that you won't work

-Okay, stop smiling.

-No.
