01x53 - Episode 53

[bunniefuu]

I told you.

I told you, I warned you,

my boy needs protection!

They would try to k*ll him.

But this is some game to you.

-I explained already.

-No, sir!

Does he have to get k*lled?

Thanks to this young lady,

we're not claiming his body

at the morgue right now. Huh?

I demand police protection for my boy now!

May I speak, ma'am?

I'm really sorry about everything,

but he published reports

against some people

without bringing it to a judge.

There's a process.

The proof is right in front of you

but you do nothing.

I don't come up with the procedure,

but if you report him,

a judge will lead the investigation.

With the threats and the attack,

we have proof to act.

Act?

Can you assure me

that the report will work?

It's up to you to believe

in our institutions or not.

My son will report this.

Right, Tino?

Here is the evidence against

Senator Benjumea and alias Panelita.

I have the originals.

I'll now give this to a judge

who will take on the case.

In the meantime

I suggest you leave the city.

Excuse me.

-Good afternoon.

-Goodbye.

Tino, we could go to El Búcaro.

Nobody will look for us there.

I won't go.

They won't get that satisfaction.

We knew this job was risky from the start.

-We won't run in fear now.

-You should do as they say this time.

-You almost got k*lled.

-I don't care.

If we drop this,

the authorities will relax and do nothing.

We need to apply media pressure.

Tell him he's crazy.

I'm sorry, Lucy,

but I strongly agree with Tino.

You're crazy.

Primitiva, say something, please.

Primitiva.

I'm sorry, but I'm not risking

my life for a magazine.

Neither mine nor my family's,

you should think about them.

Lucy, I understand your position.

You can go, it's not a problem.

We'll wait for it all to settle,

and if you want to return,

the doors are open.

Thanks, boss! So thoughtful of you.

Thanks for your support.

Don't think I'm not scared.

But it comforts me to know

that we're in this together.

Sister, you're needed

in patient Arnoldo's room.

Um I'm coming.

Okay, thanks.

Thanks.

Rogelio!

Rogelio, come here. What happened?

What were you?

Your wound is open. Come on.

Up!

Up

Up.

Up

Up.

Surprise.

This is the only way

that I can be alone with you.

We haven't talked in two days.

-I've been caught up.

-Lucy is here from Cali,

-she's in trouble for the magazine.

-I heard they reported

-really dangerous people.

-Mm-hmm.

The police are on it now.

We still need to be alert.

Parents never take a break.

Do you have five minutes

to have breakfast with me?

Of course.

These peaceful moments are important.

Don't you think?

Do you remember when we used

to spend all night watching the stars?

I can't even

remember what the sky looks like.

Let's take these moments for us.

Don't you think it's time

for us to live the lives

we've always dreamed of?

What do you mean?

Let's live together.

Don't you want to?

Yes! Yes, I really do.

With all that's been going on, it's easy

to lose sight of what matters, right?

Of us.

If you want, I'll ask Ángel

to prepare the house

and you can bring

all the furniture you want.

No, I was thinking

we should move to La Victoria.

No, I'd rather not.

-It was your house for 20 years.

-Yes, until they tried to k*ll me.

I spoke to my dad

and he said he had nothing to do

with what happened to you,

Joe, and me 20 years ago.

-He gave me his word.

-No.

No, Mariana.

I don't want to talk about this.

I won't live on your ranch.

I can't leave La Victoria, Joaquín!

You won't, we're neighbors!

I can't abandon my dad just like that! He

You won't change my mind.

Thanks for breakfast.

I'm Tino Domínguez

and this video is my life insurance.

Yesterday, I gave the police

the proof in my investigation

linking Senator Benjumea

and drug trafficker, alias Panelita.

I don't know how the investigation

or the reports will evolve,

that's why I want to use this space

to highlight them,

and to leave a record

in case something were to happen to me.

Yesterday,

I was attacked.

If it hadn't been for a brave woman

who stood between me and the k*ller,

I wouldn't be telling you this story.

She's my partner,

she's always supported me,

always rooted for me,

and has become

the most important woman in my life.

You don't have to say that.

It's the truth.

Listen. Right now,

the most important thing is the evidence.

And that people hear the truth.

And that the media

and the accused feel pressured.

I know,

but I wanted to take this opportunity

to say how I feel about you.

You saved my life.

It was a reflex.

It doesn't matter.

It means a lot to me.

I know it's hard for you

to express how you feel.

And I'm aware that these past few months

have been complicated

-and confusing.

-Tino, I care about you.

I always have

and I have no problem saying it.

You do?

Tell me again.

-Don't be silly.

-I'm not silly.

I'm just a man who's in love with you.

And I can wait my whole life

for you to say you love me.

You don't have to wait your whole life.

Because I love you.

Hello, Mr. Diego.

Joe! Come here!

You should go to Maura to clean that.

To aid you.

Calluses will form in two days

and the pain will be gone.

Then have this so it doesn't open up more.

Where are the workers from El Búcaro

who were coming to help?

We still haven't signed

the contract between the estates.

So who better than the owners

to work the land?

Are things complicated with Joaquín?

I heard you arguing.

I don't want my presence in the estate

to be a problem, Mariana.

No, Joe.

You're not a problem at all.

Your dad and I have wounds

that go very deep.

And they don't heal like your hands,

which get calluses and stop hurting.

Sometimes I think I'm destined

to end up alone in this estate.

You will never be alone, Mariana.

Never.

Excuse me.

Here is the contract

with all the clauses we agreed on

for our partnership with La Victoria.

Your signature is needed to begin planning

for the next semester's cane harvest.

What's that look?

Your mind is elsewhere.

I have a lot of things

to figure out, Carla.

No. I know you pretty well.

That look has nothing to do

with professional matters.

You'd have that look when thinking

about coming to Colombia.

It's about revenge.

I just can't forget, Carla.

I can't forget.

I don't know what to do. I

can't find the peace to move on.

I know, Joaquín.

I know what you've been through.

I know it's very hard.

But don't forget

that it was the same feeling

that pulled you away from Lucy and me.

Now you could lose Mariana and Joe.

What can I do? Huh?

It's a feeling that I can't control.

You have to!

Are you going to stay

this way for days, months, years?

Life goes by.

And we need to move on.

We have to focus on the things we can fix.

Focus on the present.

That's why it's important

that you check this contract and sign it

because we have a very important

meeting tomorrow at La Victoria

with Mariana.

Hmm?

Excuse me.

What is the patient taking?

The doctor prescribed

a mild sedative

to help control anxiety attacks.

He gets a little violent sometimes.

But he's been calm lately,

more at ease,

and more receptive to the word of our God.

Right, Rogelio?

Oh!

It's okay, relax!

Relax! Grab his legs! Grab his legs! Now!

Easy Easy. Shh

Okay, okay!

Calm down, easy.

We have to get the doctor!

I think the dose of the sedative

they gave him is too high.

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, I will

What's on your mind?

Nothing.

I know nothing is clear right now

and that you have a lot of mixed feelings,

but you can trust me.

I actually had something on my mind.

You need a new mattress.

Sara.

Someday we'll have to have a serious talk.

I'd like for it to be now.

Because I want it to work out.

Sure, why don't we

keep silent

right now?

And the future?

Do we have a future?

I think we have the present.

That's what matters.

You and I

here

now.

A new mattress.

Is it really that awful?

For sleeping yes. It is, frankly.

Then let's use it for other things.

-Oh, really?

-Mm-hmm.

I drafted this contract taking

into account everything

we've been discussing these past weeks.

The purveyors are waiting for my call

to start delivering

all the pesticides, fertilizers,

and there's a group of workers

who have worked on other sugar plantations

who can travel at a moment's notice.

That sounds perfect.

Okay.

We're just missing your signature.

You haven't signed?

Joaquín, I asked you

to sign the other day.

I have a condition before signing.

Why didn't you tell me back then?

Why are you telling me now?

It has to do with you, Mariana.

It's Alfredo Azcárate's name

that shows up in this document,

as the head of the contract.

My dad is the owner of the estate.

I know, but

I want this contract to be signed

only by you and me.

Without your dad involved.

We're risking everything, Joaquín.

You're adding conditions

right before we sign?

Mariana

I didn't know I had a son a few days ago.

Or that Rogelio was responsible

for everything that happened 20 years ago.

You're mixing everything up.

I can't separate my personal life

from what happened

and keeps happening on this land.

-What are you trying to get at?

-I want you to wake up, Mariana.

We can't act like nothing happened.

-Who's denying what happened?

-You are!

Ever since our son showed up,

you've lost all interest in the truth,

in looking for those responsible.

And this is the way to do it?

Closing down the estates?

I waited 20 years

to finally find my son and be with you,

and you're full of hate.

It won't let us be together!

Can't you see you're becoming

an enemy of happiness?

I'm sorry if that's how you see it.

I'm sorry

I can't shake this feeling in my chest

that things aren't right.

-But why?

-Because it's the truth, Mariana!

It's the truth!

Look,

my dad was able to forgive yours.

I'm ashamed not to measure up to him,

but I can't.

I can't forgive him, Mariana.

Then I think it's best

if we each go our own way.

-No!

-Joaquín is right.

Twenty years ago, when I heard

that you were pregnant, I asked Benítez

to do the impossible to separate you.

I also asked him

to make that boy disappear.

Rogelio

Rogelio.

A little less.

Yes, less.

Less

Be still.

Be still.

Very good

Good!

I didn't know then

what Benítez was capable of.

Now I know

that he's the most despicable

human being in the world.

Of course, that doesn't absolve me

of the responsibility I carry

for having made you suffer so much.

And for keeping quiet like a coward

all these years.

Please forgive me.

I'm so sorry, my child.

If you want to say something,

now is the time.

I won't waste my time

telling you what I think.

Having told the truth is enough for me,

thank you.

Now I want to know

everything about Rogelio.

I just told you.

No, I don't want to know what happened.

-I want to know where he is.

-I don't know.

I just know there's a nun,

a Sister Marina, or something,

who helps him, and takes care of him.

Jazmín?

Latest news.

Senator Benjumea

was captured by the police

when he was about to leave his home.

This capture adds to that

of his supposed partner, alias Panelita.

Both are accused of racketeering

to send drug shipments

to the United States.

These arrests

come as a result of the report

filed by independent journalist

Tino Domínguez,

who conducted an in-depth investigation

into the drug trafficking

affecting our region.

Drug trafficking

is a threat to our region.

If not stopped promptly, it will become

our country's future scourge.

I seem a bit inexperienced,

don't you think?

No! Not at all.

On the contrary, we're very proud of you.

Right, Primitiva?

Okay.

Hello?

Oh Mr. Roberto, how are you?

-He's gotten in enough trouble.

-Roberto.

Yes.

All right. Yes, sir. I'll tell him.

What happened?

It was Mr. Roberto Angarita.

He needs you urgently

and is coming here in a bit.

Who knows what he's up to now.

Rogelio

Let's have some soup first

and then we're going for a walk

since it's beautiful out there.

Beautiful.

That's it.

Good.

Very good.

Every decision I made in my life,

I was convinced

that it was the best for you.

To secure you a peaceful future.

With no suffering.

A beautiful life.

But I was wrong.

All I've brought to this family and you

is one tragedy after another.

I know it's useless, but

I'm sorry.

Yes, it's useless.

I understand.

No, you don't understand anything.

You have no idea

what you've done.

What I lived through.

And the years I lost.

You have no idea.

If that's how it is

I think it's better if I go.

Even if for a short while

Yes, it's better if you go.

Thiago, I have to confess

that I'm impressed.

All the media outlets in the Valley

are mentioning your name.

Thanks, man.

I told you, Roberto.

The risk was worth it.

All those who are corrupt

will tremble with our reports.

Let's toast to that.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

Nevertheless,

I think we need to find

a media outlet with greater reach.

Radio?

Television.

The evening news wants to offer you a job.

No.

Giving in to television

is losing your independence.

We're a small magazine,

but we do what we want uncensored.

We have complete editorial control.

Let me finish before you say no.

Go ahead.

The news director assured me

that he won't change anything.

He loves your essence, in fact.

They say they want

the same kind of research

but in audiovisuals.

I love it.

Too good to be true.

Well, I think we should listen

to their proposal.

Television definitely has a wider reach

than any written media.

We could reach every part of the country.

You should think about it.

All right. But on one condition.

If I'm going to listen to that job

proposal, just listen to it,

it'll be on the condition

that I put together my own team.

If you don't work with me,

I won't take it.

Of course I will.

No need to say more.

I'll let you know

once I schedule the meeting.

Thanks.

We have to be very careful with her

because she has many anxiety attacks.

-I'm sorry, but

-Sir, I

-I can't let you in, sir.

-Excuse me.

Okay, Jorge, relax! Please, Mr. Mosquera!

Do you know him?

This man is a m*rder*r

and is on the run from the law.

I'm sure that Sister Marina

knows where he is.

He's here.

I Wait!

You have to calm down, sir.

Mr. Mosquera, wait.

Calm down, calm down!

Sister!

Sister!

Oh! Help!

Help, help!

I will understand

if you want to stay at the estate.

Alfredo,

do you think that after all of this

I am going to abandon you?

Let me tell you

that what you did was brave.

There's nothing brave

about ruining my daughter's life.

No.

But it was brave to admit it.

Also, who am I to judge you?

I was there 20 years ago.

I took Mariana to the convent.

Following orders.

Yes

but I could've refused.

Mariana will never forgive me.

Oh, Alfredo, give her time.

That's what I don't have. Time.

Alfredo,

you're not a bad person.

I'm a bad person, and I deserve

everything that happens from now on.

Mr. Alfredo!

It's all true, Graciliano.

Graciliano!

My goodness, Alfredo. How dare you?

It's okay, okay.

-You'll regret this

-I'm fine!

Anything else?

Rogelio is definitely sick in the head.

We have to do everything to stop him.

Yes, the police

are looking for him in the area.

They say he's injured and under

the influence of a sedative.

I don't understand why we can't

live in peace already.

I'm mostly worried about Sara now.

Can I help with that?

Close your eyes.

-My eyes?

-Yes, close your eyes.

Why? Are you going to surprise me?

-Don't cheat.

-No.

No cheating.

I'm not looking.

I'm watching you.

I'm watching you

I'm not looking.

Now?

What?

-Paper?

-Mm-hmm.

Oh, wait.

-Now?

-Mm-hmm.

Let's pretend we're in different cities.

And you get this letter from me.

You'll read it

and take your time to respond.

Okay.

But why here?

Because we built this place together.

For you. Remember?

Yes, I remember.

-Can I open it now?

-Yes.

"Sara, marry me."

"I want to spend

the rest of my days by your side."

You don't have to answer now.

Remember we're in different cities.

Send me your response in a letter.

In a couple of days.

Hmm?

Just like we built this place,

I want us to build many things together.

Think about it.

I have to talk to Joe now. It's important.

Okay.

Tino,

I won't answer just yet

if I'll marry you or not

-because we're in different cities.

-Uh-huh.

But in the meantime,

I think you should kiss me

the way I deserve, no?

-Hi, Joaquín, how are you?

-Hi.

Hi!

-Josefina is in the kitchen.

-I'm not looking for Josefina.

I have to talk to you, Sara.

With me? What is it? Tell me.

I don't have good news.

It's pretty delicate, it's about

Jazmín.

How is she? What happened?

She was m*rder*d.

What do you mean she was m*rder*d?

Who? What?

What happened to her? How?

-It all

-Who k*lled her?

It looks like it was Benítez.

Sister Jazmín came to this world

to bring others happiness.

Even above her sacrifice and her own pain.

Let's pray

that our Lord in His infinite mercy

receives her in His arms

and thanks her on our behalf

for her sacrifice and immense kindness.

Amen.

Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name,

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on Earth

as it is in Heaven.

Give us today our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass

against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

According to the latest

Intelligence reports,

Mr. Rogelio Benítez was last seen

at the bus terminal in the city of Cali.

At the time they saw him,

three buses left for different cities.

One for Pasto, the other for Buenaventura,

and one for Bogotá.

And?

And I have several officers

in those cities

working on tracking down

this criminal's whereabouts.

I don't think you'll find him.

Mrs. Mariana,

we're doing what we can.

I know, but

no matter how hard we try,

it's just never enough, no?

None of us will be able to sleep

peacefully while Rogelio is free.

At minimum,

I have a whole team of officers

who are looking

into this b*stard's whereabouts.

Sure, thank you for coming, Chief.

I hope it's better news next time.

It will be.

-Excuse me.

-Thanks.

Thanks.

We're leaving.

Aren't you going to say goodbye

to your dad?

No.

Joaquín

Take care of her, please.

Are you sure you won't say goodbye?

Yes. I'm sure.

Valerian and chamomile.

Maura says it's great for the nerves.

Yes it works.

But nothing better

than good company, right?

I'm trying.

It's very hard to understand

what's going through Sara's mind now.

I don't think

it's important to understand her,

because we each process pain differently.

I think it's important

that she knows she can count on you.

How is she?

-How's Sara doing in Cali?

-Great!

We're going to start working together,

but I don't know

what will happen after all this.

Well, she seems to be doing well there.

Especially if she keeps her mind busy.

Sure.

The magazine is going well.

I heard you were dealing

with very dangerous people.

Yes

Anyway, that's all been resolved,

they're detained now.

We have to be careful anyway.

I assure you I'll take good care of her.

More than my own life.

I adore your daughter.

And Joe? How is it going with Joe?

Fine.

I guess.

Well, I'll take this.

-Excuse me.

-Yes.

How are you?

Sara, you can tell me how you feel.

Sara.

Sara.

I feel like all I ever do

is escape my life, Joe.

I feel like

all I do is escape my reality.

Jazmín was my mom.

And I never did anything

to try and get close to her,

to get to know her,

to see how she felt.

What she needed.

Instead, I left. Looking for what?

A life that's not mine.

You did what you felt, Sara.

What you thought was best for you.

But I'm tired of wasting my time.

I'm tired of practicing.

And going from one place to the next

not knowing what I want or what I need.

Making up excuses to avoid my truth.

That's what I've been doing.

Evading my reality, my life.

But your life is here.

This is your home.

This is your land.

Your family is here, Sara.

You don't have to escape

from anything because

you have it all here.

No, I can't

I can't stay here.

Yeah?

Well, if you want to get away and think,

I can set up a trip.

We'll go to the beach together.

And when we return

we'll give us a chance to do things right.

No, Joe.

Sara

A lot has happened these past few days.

Mariana

offered me to be part of the family.

And officially bear

the Mosquera Azcárate surname.

I finally belong to a place

in this world, Sara.

And I want you to be part of this world.

But I'm leaving for Cali.

What for? To be in Tino's magazine?

Yes.

Well, then I can give you a ride

and pick you up each day,

-it's no problem.

-Joe, listen.

Look

I made the decision to go to Cali because

I'm giving myself a chance with Tino.

A chance for what?

You two

-are?

-Yes.

Oh, okay

Look, we decided

to give ourselves a chance

now that I have my future clear,

and I want to focus more on photography,

-as well as my career.

-Yes, and I was a waste of time.

I didn't say that.

So what then? Are you playing with me?

Or playing with both of us?

Remember, I was invested in our love,

and all I got in return

were disappointments.

And I'm the only one who pays for it,

right?

You always made me look like the bad guy

when you're as bad if not worse than me.

You're still the same idiot.

You'll never change.

Sara.

You don't only stand me up,

you also leave me talking to myself.

Don't talk to her like that.

What?

Protecting your woman?

-Or mine?

-Careful with what you say.

She's nobody's property,

and how we feel isn't an issue.

But it's your problem

if you're a liar and a traitor.

Did you forget that you recently

held me and said we'd still be brothers?

What for?

To stab me in the back?

You're perfect for each other. Fine.

-Joe.

-Kiss him.

Tino, no!

Okay. Calm down. Come on. No!

Don't fight, please! Stop!

Come on, stop! Let him go, Joe!

Let him go!

Let him go! Leave us alone already!

-You and I aren't brothers anymore.

-Let him go.

-Are you okay?

-Yes, I'm fine.
