01x34 - Episode 34

[bunniefuu]

If you want to apologize about my dad

Jose, is Tino here?

Tino was here this morning

but he left at noon.

Does Sara know where to find him?

Sara just left.

I need a lawyer.

For you?

No.

Sit down, Josefina.

-What's going on?

-Sit, sit.

I'm going to tell you

the truth about what's going on.

Joaquín is alive.

Mariana, you don't need a lawyer.

You need a doctor.

-Oh, Jose.

-This isn't right.

-You're going crazy.

-Please.

Be honest, are you hearing voices?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

I only just found out, too,

but it's true.

-What are you saying?

-Mr. Stewart is your brother.

CALI DISTRICT POLICE

Your brother is alive.

No, no.

No, no

You're the crazy one.

-You're delirious.

-Josefina, sit down. Please, sit down.

Your brother was in the US for 20 years,

looking for the strength and money

to come back, it's true.

-Joaquín is alive.

-No.

That's impossible.

My brother isn't

No

Alfredo decided to head to the ranch.

Rogelio, what are you talking about?

Alfredo is unconscious.

I must be a miracle worker, then.

As soon as I went in, he spoke.

Either that

or the doctor has news for you.

Alfredo is heading to the ranch right now.

What are we doing here?

-Alright.

-Alright.

I wanted to show you this view.

What do you think?

And here is where our house will be.

Two floors.

A pool.

Our son there he goes.

-A house.

-Yes.

A house is pretty expensive, right?

Dreaming is free.

And I promise you one day

we will accomplish all of our dreams.

Here.

Look, I know I don't have much right now.

But I have this.

And this is what counts.

It may not seem like much

and you could say, "Joel, what is this?"

It's what I have to offer you.

It's something no one else has had

or will ever have.

It's yours.

Really?

I've never had anything, Sara.

Ever since I was born, they

took everything,

but you

with this baby on the way,

you're all I have.

I forgive the world

for taking everything away

because the best was yet to come.

I'm yours, Sara.

I'm yours.

Today, tomorrow, always.

I'll take care of the two of you.

I promise you

in front of our dreams

that I'm going to live life

with the aim to make you happy.

Believe that.

I know.

I know, I've never doubted you

for a single moment.

And yes, I'm scared, I'm very scared but

but it's because of me,

not you.

It's it's my problem,

but I'm sure

that you are going to be

an amazing father.

We made this baby together.

So when you're scared,

remember that

because we did it with a love

no one else has ever been

lucky enough to have.

Let me show you what else.

-There's more?

-Mm-hmm. Expect nothing less.

-Let's see what else you've got.

-Come on.

-Careful, careful.

-Good?

-Careful with this.

-Good?

Yeah.

But why didn't you tell me?

Oh, Jose, forgive me

for not telling you, but

Joaquín asked me not to tell anyone

that he was Mr. Stewart

to protect everyone, to protect himself.

But you don't know

who is responsible for all this.

Who?

Rogelio.

Rogelio tried to k*ll him 20 years ago.

My dad knew?

Yes.

I was last.

Believe me, when Joaquín told me

the truth, I was furious, too.

But it was for the best,

we were all in danger.

I need to see him.

He's in jail.

What?

Yes, Rogelio found out

that he is Mr. Stewart

and turned him in to the police.

Turns out the charges

from 20 years ago are still valid.

For kidnapping?

That's a lie, he's innocent.

I know, that's why I need a lawyer.

That's why I'm looking for Tino.

We have to get Joaquín out of jail.

Rogelio can't get away with it again.

It's the church

where I was abandoned.

I know.

But it was also the church

where you found a family.

And now I want this place

to be where we form ours.

Sara Benítez Azcárate

Will you marry me?

If you want my grandpa and dad

to throw us out of the ranch, then sure.

I'll quit before they throw me out.

-Oh yeah?

-Yeah.

With a family on the way,

I have to find something better, right?

Picture it.

My wife's a photographer.

And me a farmhand for the rest of my life.

That's not going to happen. It can't be.

I'm going to give it my all, Sara.

I'm going to work so you feel proud of me.

And so you never feel embarrassed

to be by my side, okay?

-Are you being serious?

-Ever since I got on one knee.

You are in my future.

Trust me.

I was talking with a friend,

he said we could partner together

to open up a shop.

He'll invest and I'll do the work.

If it goes well, we can buy some land.

We build the house we want,

or one even better.

When did you plan all of this?

Since I decided

you were going to be my wife.

You don't have to answer right away.

I'm going to Buenaventura for two weeks.

Buenaventura? For what?

Because some

parts are arriving

and I need to take care of it.

Believe me, I'll think about you

the whole time, as always.

You'll have time to think about

my proposal. How about it?

Well, I think there's

nothing to think about.

I accept.

I'm going to marry

the woman I love!

And that's not all.

CALI DISTRICT POLICE

-You shouldn't be here.

-Oh, I promise I will get you out of here.

I'm okay.

I'm worried about you.

-That b*stard could have done something.

-No, I'm okay.

He insists that this is all a big lie.

-Mariana, I swear that

-Please, I would never believe him.

We're going to show the whole world

who he is.

You have to get out

of that house right away.

He doesn't scare me.

No, Mariana, you can't trust Benítez.

He's capable of anything.

-Even getting you tangled up.

-No, Joaquín.

How could you say that?

He told me you two were back together.

Yes, I had to.

I had to earn his trust

and the situation got out of hand.

-But I swear

-Okay, okay, relax.

This is my fault

for not stopping things earlier.

But are you really okay

or did he hurt you?

No, I'm okay.

But I don't want to remember that

ever again.

It was a mistake I had to pay for.

Now the only thing I want

is for you to get out of here.

Did you find Tino?

I didn't find him anywhere,

I sent him a message.

Well, we can't wait any longer.

They took my fingerprints

and they know I'm Joaquín Mosquera,

that I'm not Stewart.

So I need you to contact

Counselor Estrada.

He was going to help me

with my dad's case, he's really good.

Even better, he's not from the area,

so your family can't blackmail or buy him.

Alright, Rogelio.

I don't think my dad

had anything to do with this.

Mariana

Promise you won't go back

to La Victoria Estate.

Stay in El Búcaro, please,

and look for my sister and dad.

Stay there.

I'm scared Benítez

is going to hurt you all.

"Whoever conceals his transgressions

will not prosper."

"But he who confesses

and forsakes them will obtain mercy."

There is no forgiveness from God

for what I did.

The Lord knows when a heart is repentant.

And likewise, he forgives

whoever asks for it honestly.

I have a lot of sins weighing on me.

Not just for what I did,

but for what I let happen.

We've all committed sins, Mr. Graciliano.

Speak with him.

Our Heavenly Father is the only one

who can bring peace

to your heart and conscience.

I wish I wasn't here.

I wish all of this would be over.

We have only one chance before the judge

to demonstrate that

all the accusations are unfounded.

Joaquín was never a thief,

Counselor, never.

Well, tell me where I can start

to look for evidence to prove it.

Well, the only witness I know

who knew everything that happened

to Joaquín is Roy,

but he died ten years ago.

Mom, what are you here for?

I'm checking some contracts

for the business.

And where were you?

Um

buying some rolls, but they were out.

We'll talk later.

Sorry, I don't want my daughter

finding out about this.

Don't worry.

Mariana, you're here.

What? What happened?

I think we have some bad news.

What do you mean he woke up?

How is he? Why didn't you call me?

Mariana, it was so strange.

The doctor took me out of your dad's room

and your dad was in a coma.

And then Rogelio showed up.

He forced his way in, and when he left,

your dad had woken up

and asked to be returned to the ranch.

What? But, how?

I don't know,

but those two have something evil planned.

No, we have to do something.

We can't let Rogelio take advantage of us.

I don't want him

to have influence over my dad, Ofe.

We have to find some evidence

in Joaquín's favor immediately.

What, what happened?

What happened to Joaquín?

He's in jail.

I'll tell you later.

Do you know anyone

who worked at the ranch 20 years ago?

Who are alive

and are available to testify.

Well, the two of us.

And my dad.

What did you think?

That it was easy doing business

with someone else's money?

I don't know what they told you.

But you're not outside of the deal.

This was a loan.

I'm going to pay it back

with ten percent interest.

-Ten percent?

-Mm-hmm.

And who approved that loan?

Well, I was going to tell you

that I wanted to do business,

but the land owner is ahead of schedule

and I have to take that money today,

but, if you want, we'll go and

I'll show you your new investment.

You know what, Joel?

Do you know what angers me the most?

That I liked you.

Smart, clever, had some guts.

But that obsession

with biting the hand that feeds you, no.

Mr. Rogelio, think.

I'm proposing a good deal.

And relax because

I'm paying back the money.

Let me propose a new deal.

Give me the money

Summer gave you and I'll spare your life.

What money?

Don't take me for a fool.

I know Summer gave you money

for the new business.

And I bet it's that money right there.

That money is mine.

Mr. Summer.

Rogelio Benítez.

Yes, I'm calling because you did business

with an ex-employee of mine.

Yes, that's him. Joel.

I'm calling because you shouldn't have

given him so much money.

Did your employee fail to mention

that I didn't know he had sold my crops?

Mmm see?

Yes, yes, this happens a lot

with foreigners.

They get swindled.

Well, don't worry, don't worry.

I like to indulge my clients

and I'm loyal to them.

That's why I called.

I wanted to tell you that

the money you gave Joel is gone.

So if I were you,

I would try to pay it

before this guy disappears for good.

No, no, don't worry.

Always at your service.

Oh, you came back.

And sooner than I expected.

Couldn't wait to see me, Mariana?

I just came to care for my dad, Rogelio.

And I'm warning you,

don't talk to me

and don't come near me.

What lies did Rogelio tell you

for you to turn against me?

He wants to take everything, not Joaquín.

Joaquín was helping me

protect the ranch, Dad.

Honey.

Don't let that n*gro swindle you again.

That's what you believe?

That I'm an idiot

and I'm being manipulated?

That's what Rogelio wants you to believe.

That guy wanted to con us.

His dad, Graciliano, wanted to k*ll me.

How can you defend them?

Look at me.

Look how I ended up.

Dad, you don't understand anything.

Instead of defending that guy,

you should defend your family.

If you keep defending him, you're gonna

leave us out on the street.

Thanks.

Jose.

This is a miracle.

Little brother.

Forgive me.

Forgive me, I

I was just trying to protect you.

What matters is that you're alive.

Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, but

we have to focus on your defense,

Mr. Mosquera.

Tomorrow, the judge

will assign the charges.

Then he will make the decision

to set you free or send you to prison

to await a trial.

You tell us how to proceed, Counselor.

Well, to begin with you have to tell me

the truth about this whole story.

No omitting details, okay?

I'm asking you not to leave my dad alone

for even a second.

Today I need your support more than ever

because I won't be here to help you.

Marianita.

Of course, I will take care of Alfredo

and all of his needs.

As much as I want that,

my dad doesn't want you caring for him.

He's too proud.

No, that can't be.

Even now, Alfredo Azcárate is bullheaded.

I know it's not an easy task,

but I'm counting on you.

Yes, ma'am.

You heard her.

Thank you.

Alfredo.

-What are you doing here?

-I came to tell you

that, whether you like it or not,

I'm going to handle your care.

-Ma'am, please

-Medications and feeding you, yes.

You have to respect me, leave.

I don't need you, I don't need anyone.

I can take care of myself.

Alfredo, I'm trying to help you, okay?

-Please.

-Leave.

Mr. Hector, what I'm offering you

is a better deal. You

give me the land

as part of the investment.

I'll start production. At the end,

we'll split the profit equally, 50/50.

No, that's a deal

that only benefits you, not me.

In other words, I'm not interested.

But how does that only benefit me?

Let's figure out an arrangement then.

Let me

work the land.

I'll pay you the money

from the next two crops.

Two crops? No, no.

Truthfully,

or rather as the saying goes,

"A bird in the hand"

No deal. I don't want to negotiate,

much less with you.

I want our political content

to be free from any editorial constraints.

That we stand out

as being an independent magazine

that tells the truth.

That's really great.

I would like to keep the cultural section.

We're in a full-on artistic revolution

and I think it's important

to support it right now.

Mm-hmm.

Another thing we have to talk about

is how to finance this.

If this is going to be a full-time job,

we will need a salary.

And I'm going to have a baby boy,

so all the more so.

And what did Joel say about this?

Well, Joel wants to quit the ranch.

He's thinking about

opening a car shop and

he seems really happy.

I want to give this child a

a family.

Very well.

I don't say this because of you.

It's true, I was never there for him.

Well, in short, what

I'm saying is that

I don't want to sit, arms crossed,

waiting for Joel to care for us.

I want to work

and I can help you however I can.

Do you think Joel

is going to be a good dad?

Mm-hmm.

Cash them out first.

I need a job, Viche.

And the deal you were celebrating?

I was stabbed in the back.

But that's not the point.

-If you know anyone who pays well

-Viche, can I have another?

I'm available.

I heard about some guys

-that are

-Two beers.

looking for a partner.

Seems like it's good money.

What kind of work is it?

Not sure.

But I think it's big

because they're looking

for someone who's experienced

and doesn't get scared.

Who should I speak with?

Look, the guy in question told me

they don't want anyone

who would bring problems.

You know what?

First fix your unfinished business.

What are you talking about?

Some Summer guy is looking for you.

I don't have anything to do with them.

I'm serious, I'm clean.

Give me their contact number.

Give it to me.

I'm not kidding, okay?

Alright.

If anyone asks about me,

you haven't seen me in years.

See you later.

Alfredo.

We can't let

Joaquín Mosquera get out of jail,

and go get revenge, he's bound to

uncover the secret

we've been keeping for 20 years.

And seeing as your daughter

has lost her wits once again,

we have to use

your influence to stop this.

Like you taught me,

always one step ahead.

Mr. Alfredo, we're together in this.

And I promise that

I'm not going to let that awful n*gro

take what belongs to you.

I haven't seen him

since the last time he was here with you.

Oh, really?

And he didn't tell you where he was going?

Okay, Viche.

Okay.

Viche isn't giving him up.

Think very carefully.

Because if you don't help me,

you're not useful anymore.

And generally,

when something isn't useful,

I throw it away in the

The Cauca river.

In the Cauca river.

Okay, okay.

Calm down, sir.

Relax.

See, I am helping you.

Besides, I have nothing to do with Joel.

If I remember right,

you were there the day they sold me

the stolen goods from Benítez.

Where

could Joel be?

If you want him to show his face,

a possibility would be to find

Sara.

His girlfriend.

I miss you.

But only a little,

don't go thinking it's a lot.

Me too.

What I'd give to have that precious face

of yours right here, you know?

How have you felt?

Good, good, today we well,

I was working on the magazine design

and I think I have to go look for sponsors

today so it's going really well.

I'm happy to hear that.

Remember, you have to rest,

you can't strain yourself.

Don't worry,

I have Tino taking care of me.

Oh

How's it going with your business?

Good, good, everything's turning out

really good, the issue is that

I'm going to be here for a few more days.

Either way, I'll let you know, okay?

Alright, well, talk to you later.

I love you.

Go on, Counselor.

Thanks, excuse me, Mrs. Mariana.

Alright, well

Unfortunately,

I don't think that Mrs. Ofelia's

and Mrs. Josefina's testimonies

are going to work.

Truthfully, they weren't eyewitnesses.

And their versions are based on conjecture

that are really difficult to prove.

And Graciliano's testimony?

After a judge affirmed

he had mental problems,

any testimony he gives will be worthless.

Okay, Counselor,

but there has to be some way.

Look, Mrs. Mariana, I'm really sorry but

if we don't find convincing evidence

quickly, it'll be difficult

to get anything in favor of Mr. Mosquera.

Well, let me talk then.

I can give a testimony.

Are you sure?

That would mean

going against your own family.

No, sir, no.

Against Rogelio, you mean,

because my dad is my only family,

and right now he's very sick.

And I also have to

watch out for his safety.

I'm going to do whatever's

necessary to get Joaquín out of jail.

Disciplinary hearing

on the date of May 12th

against Joaquín Mosquera,

and his attorney, Mr. Julio Estrada.

The plaintiff's attorney has the floor.

Your Honor, before you, you will find

evidence that proves that Mosquera

was involved in a robbery

20 years ago in La Victoria.

During the time, there was a witness

who confessed that their goal

was to kidnap Alfredo Azcárate's daughter.

The case was closed because the defendant

allegedly died in holding by authorities.

But here we have him today

under a new identity

which he was using

to defraud the Azcárate family.

By all accounts,

Mr. Joaquín Mosquera

is obsessed with said family.

Objection, Your Honor.

We have testimonies right here

that completely disprove

the charge of attempted kidnapping.

Counselor Estrada, I suggest you wait

until you are given the floor, please.

Plaintiff's attorney.

Twenty years later, Your Honor,

we cannot accept the testimony

that magically appears twenty years later.

I have evidence that

Mr. Mosquera changed his identity

to evade the law.

If he is innocent,

why didn't he face the law?

Rogelio Benítez wanted to k*ll me!

Order, please.

Keep your client quiet

or I will have to end the hearing.

You have the floor.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

You may speak, Counselor.

Thank you, Your Honor.

To speed this hearing up a little,

I would like to call on

Mrs. Mariana Azcárate.

I think it is an important testimony

for this case.

So, if you sponsor us,

we can guarantee an advertising spot

in each weekly edition of the magazine.

Well, it's also important to know that

the majority of our readers

are young people.

Which means that your bar

is going to be even more popular.

You don't have to worry about the focus,

my partner already mentioned it.

It'll be young, modern, different.

What kind of work

are we talking about?

Robbing a bank.

The idea is to do it in the early

morning hours during the week.

We have to be prepared to open fire

if necessary.

You up for it or what?

How much?

I estimate it to be

eight bags full of cash.

We split it evenly.

Enough for a nice vacation.

Alright.

Mm-hmm. Good.

I need you to help me with one thing.

I need one more person.

We have to be at least four

to have full control in the bank.

I'm counting on you.

Mm-hmm.

Twenty years ago,

Joaquín Mosquera was falsely accused

of being a thief

and conspiring against my family.

That is completely false.

Joaquín and I loved each other,

Your Honor.

What's more, we were having a baby.

Joaquín has never

tried to harm me.

Quite the contrary.

He saved my life one time

when some bandits attacked the ranch.

And you have evidence

to back what you're saying?

Besides, where is the child

you said you were going to have?

He died at birth, Your Honor.

Do you also have evidence of that?

-The hospital, a record?

-Of course, in the hospital.

I went myself to look for

my child's remains

and they are currently buried

in La Victoria Estate.

Joaquín had to flee

because they wanted to k*ll him.

They tried to frame him

to drive him away, Your Honor.

The charge is completely false.

Anything to add,

plaintiff's attorney?

Yes, Your Honor.

Mrs. Mariana, I have an excerpt

from your medical history that says

that after the attack on your ranch,

you were diagnosed

with a mental illness and confined

to a mental ward. Is that true?

Please answer.

Yes, yes.

It's true.

Her psychiatrist said

she received electroshock therapy

because she heard voices, a baby crying

That has nothing to do with Joaquín.

I'm sorry, Your Honor, but we can't

accept this testimony as valid

from a person who was not mentally sound.

Clearly, I'm not crazy, Your Honor.

This is outrageous.

Anything further to argue?

Yes.

Joaquín is innocent.

Anything to add, plaintiff's attorney?

I do have something else to add.

A letter signed by Mr. Alfredo Azcárate.

With your permission,

may I admit the person with the letter?

Well, if Counselor Estrada

has no objections, there is no problem.

No, no objection.

Good.

Open the door, please.

Here you are, Your Honor.

In this letter, Mr. Azcárate states that

the Mosquera family destroyed his home,

ruined his business, and he's worried

about Mariana's mental state.

-No, no, no, but

-No, relax, relax.

It also explains that Benítez

will become his legal representative

and manage his assets.

No, no, just a minute.

He's very sick.

He must have signed it against his will.

Mrs. Mariana, please.

It is not your turn to speak.

Furthermore, it seems

like you are undermining

the reason for this hearing.

Sit down, please.

In my view,

it seems like the facts

are much more conclusive than words.

Furthermore, the defense attorney

has not been able to determine

the defendant's innocence

or the reason for which

he evaded the law for 20 years.

And due to your history,

I cannot validate your testimony.

For this reason,

Mr. Joaquín Mosquera

shall remain in prison custody

until the date of his trial is determined.

This hearing has ended, please.

-Sir, take charge of the defendant.

-Relax.

-This can be fixed.

-Order, please.

I'll get you out of here,

whatever it takes.

-Let's not escalate things.

-I'll get you out.

What are we going to do?

No, we won't give in.

The counselor said we can appeal.

But with what proof, Mariana?

I don't know, but

but I'm going to handle that.

And Alfredo?

Mariana.

We can't let your dad

stay in Rogelio's care.

He already made him sign the paper,

now what?

He's going to get everything?

-Alright.

-A pleasure seeing you, Your Honor.

It's a pleasure.

Mr. Alfredo says

he appreciates your collaboration

in the case against Mosquera.

And that he will personally make

sure you get the necessary support

in your political aspirations

for Congress next year.

Very well.

You were very convincing,

great work.

It wasn't easy,

but now we have our first sponsor.

I think that with four or five,

we'll reach our goals

and then the magazine

can take off.

My partner.

Stand still!

Take it easy, who are you?

What do you want?

-The girl comes with us.

-Wait, no.

Let me go, let me go!

Leave him alone, leave him alone!

Don't touch him! Let him go.

-Nothing will happen. Stay calm.

-Okay, let me go.

Tino, Tino! Let me go.

Tell Joel to answer and to show his face.

-Or he won't see his girl again.

-Don't hurt him.

-Another thing.

-Leave him!

Be careful involving the police.

Because then you'll really say goodbye

to her.

-No, leave me alone! Leave him!

-Sara!

No, no, no, where are you taking me?

No, no, Tino!

Sara!

Sara!

WAITING ROOM

What are you doing here?

I came to propose a deal.

Give me one reason

not to k*ll you right now.

First,

because it wouldn't be so easy.

No one knows better than you, Turk.

And second,

because you'll lose your chance

to get out.

What do you mean?

Sit down.

I can get you out of here

if you do a job for me.

I need you to assassinate

a prisoner in here.

Joaquín Mosquera.

Easy.
