01x26 - Episode 26

[bunniefuu]

Bad day, Rogelio?

Viche, have you heard anything

from The Turk?

No, nothing since they took him. Why?

Did he show up again or what?

I'm not sure,

but I should try to hide

until I find out what's going on.

I need a place here in Cali

where no one knows me, Viche.

Hmm?

I think I can help you.

A drink.

-I'm scared.

-Of what?

Of having my heart broken, Joel.

I'd be incapable of doing that, Sara.

I know how betrayal hurts.

The person I trusted

the most in my life betrayed me.

Tino?

Hi.

I couldn't stand not seeing you, either.

-Oh, really?

-Hmm.

We have to talk.

So soon?

I just

overheard my grandpa having a conversation

and I learned he's a r*cist.

So, I don't think

I can freely tell him about us.

It's really embarrassing

to talk about this,

because we shouldn't even

have to talk about this, Joel.

Ever since I approached you

I knew I'd be trouble for your grandpa

and your family.

But it shouldn't be a problem.

I should be able to choose who I'm with,

that's it.

Does what other people think

really matter?

But they're not other people,

they're my family.

We don't choose our family.

But we choose our partner.

You chose me.

I chose you. Why don't we enjoy that?

And once they find out?

You'll go to Cali

and I'll go get you.

That'll be our place.

At the ranch, we'll each go our own way

and nobody will notice.

I assure you.

But it's a drag to have to hide it.

Let's say

it can be for a while, until you

feel capable of telling them the truth.

You're a very smart woman,

you'll find the right time to tell them.

Sure.

Okay, and Tino?

Our talk was going so well

What about him?

I want to tell him the truth.

He already knows.

He saw us.

How did he see us? Where?

He saw us yesterday.

Oh, that's bad.

-How did he take it? What did he say?

-How was he supposed to take it?

He said he wouldn't meddle.

And it better be that way.

But how is he? How did he look?

Who cares how he's doing,

what he looked like?

I care how Tino feels.

Whether you like it or not,

I care for him. And I feel horrible

that he's suffering because of me.

Jealousy won't k*ll him.

I know it won't.

You should worry,

I remind you he's your brother.

I remind you that we have

a complicated relationship.

I'd prefer that we cross paths with him

as little as possible. All right?

No, it's not all right.

I do plan on talking to Tino,

whether you like it or not.

All right?

All right.

Tino

Here. What happened?

Oh

You're heavy.

What? What happened?

I had to let her go.

Who?

She'll never look at me like him.

Are you talking about Sara?

Him? Who?

-My brother.

-No

Sara fell in love with my brother.

Oh, Tino, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Would you like

to go talk at the house?

-No. No.

-Yes.

-No, no.

-I want to drink.

-I want to drink.

-No. No. What for? No more.

To forget her.

I need to forget her.

I need to forget her.

Will you get me another glass?

I think we'll be a while.

I still can't get used to you leaving.

You haven't left

and I want you back already.

I think I'll stay in Cali

a little longer this time.

Right, you have final exams.

Yes, I'll be pretty busy, honestly.

Leaving without a goodbye?

You didn't say goodbye to Grandpa?

I was going to, Grandpa.

My Counselor Azcárate.

I'm also a Benítez.

No, you're an Azcárate.

Forever. Don't you forget that.

How can I forget it

if you're always reminding me?

Speaking of Benítez,

do you know where my dad is?

Uh, no, honey. I guess he'll contact you.

What matters now is school. Nothing else.

Yes, of course, all that matters

is that I become a lawyer, right?

Bye.

Is it just me

or was Sarita being ironic?

It's hard to grow surrounded by lies.

Don't you think?

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Benítez hasn't been back to the ranch.

Maura, let's take Rogelio's things

and put them in a box.

We'll see how to send them to him.

Mrs. Mariana,

are you sure the gentleman won't be back?

Absolutely.

And tell all the employees

to prohibit his entry, please.

Yes, ma'am.

Maura,

let's go ahead and take this bed out now.

If the gentleman calls,

ask him where to take his belongings.

Yes, ma'am.

I got a B.

And me?

It's bad.

If you don't come to class,

it'll be hard to pass.

If you had half the problems I do,

you wouldn't even get a two out of ten.

I wish I had half the romantic issues

that you have.

With other suitors, of course.

Don't get me wrong,

I just like other types of people.

They're not romantic issues.

My parents are splitting up.

What?

But don't say anything, Mati, okay?

I don't know why I tell you,

you're like the society column,

and all of Cali

will have heard it by tomorrow.

No, no. I won't say anything, but why?

I don't know. They wouldn't tell me.

Anyway, let's not talk more about my life,

why don't you help me study?

I haven't picked a book

and the exam is tomorrow.

But don't interrogate me

about my personal life.

All right?

-All right?

-Yes.

What does your grandpa say

about the separation?

Oh, Mati.

Berenice.

Oh, some coffee, that's nice.

It's for Mr. Alfredo's visitor.

-Oh, yes? Who is it?

-I don't know. A gentleman.

Okay. I'll take it.

-Yeah?

-Yes, don't worry.

Thank you.

Help me, take this.

Mrs. Mariana, nice to see you.

You're right on time.

The man here has a more concrete offer

for the cotton processor.

I'd rather call it a cotton gin.

I'd like to hear your opinion.

I told you I'm not interested right now.

Thanks. You should take a look at it.

And Rogelio?

He loved the idea

when I told him in Bogotá.

Benítez is traveling.

I'm going to go over the proposal closely

and I'll call you when I have a budget.

I'll be anxiously waiting for your call.

Thanks very much, Mr. Stewart.

Hi, Eliana.

Oh, hello.

-Hi.

-How are you?

I'm looking for Tino. Is he here?

No, I haven't seen him in days.

Okay,

but isn't he staying here?

Yes, his stuff is here.

I don't know if he told you,

he got a new job.

No, he didn't.

He has to go traveling

around the whole area.

If you see him, tell him

I'd like to talk to him urgently.

-Please?

-Of course, I'll tell him.

-I won't take more of your time.

-It's nice to see you.

-Same. Bye.

-Bye.

Really?

I feel like a mom denying a child

who doesn't want to go out and play.

I can forget her if she's out of sight.

I also gave my word to Joel.

The cowardly soldier

is fit for another w*r.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Tino.

Don't forget how valuable you are.

I hope it's the last time you come here.

I don't think I can please you.

Because we're starting to do business, no?

Besides what happened between us.

I made a mistake with you,

but it doesn't mean

you can come when you want.

A mistake?

You're right.

Love forces us to make mistakes.

Please, Mr. Stewart,

don't be so disrespectful.

You don't know me.

-I'm a married woman.

-What does that mean?

Isn't it true that your husband left home?

There are rumors.

Can I tell you something?

When I heard the news,

I felt like I could get my hopes high.

Don't get me wrong, Mr. Stewart.

My marriage is in crisis,

but it doesn't mean

I need a shoulder to cry on.

What's more

I don't feel like crying.

What happened between us

was very important to me.

I'm glad you have a nice memory,

it's all you will get.

And quit acting like a Casanova,

you're being a clown.

Sara.

Dad. Where were you?

Why didn't you call me?

Why didn't you say you were leaving?

That's why I came.

To tell you everything, big girl.

Um Yes, excuse me.

Now, tell me what happened.

Sit down, big girl.

What happened?

My love for your mother

blinded me. I didn't or couldn't see

that she never loved me.

I didn't want to admit it.

She tried. Yes, at first. But

But love can't be forced.

If you force it, it turns into rejection.

-She asked you to leave.

-No, no.

I chose to leave before hurting her more.

Could time fix things between you two,

perhaps?

I'd love that, big girl.

But I don't think so.

For now,

all I care about is you.

I want you to understand, for you to know

that I won't fail you no matter what.

Hmm?

And if

I ever hurt you, I ask you to forgive me.

-Dad.

-Please.

Dad, I love you

and I just want you to be happy.

Well, I would be happy

with your mom's love, but

I don't think that'll happen.

Mariana can't love anybody.

Because of Joaquín?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have

mentioned the name.

Don't worry, it's okay.

The problem with that name

is that it's a curse for the family.

Who mentioned it to you?

As long as I live,

the Azcárate name will remain untarnished.

Did you forget the time

you tried to tarnish it?

Thankfully, we found out

that n*gro was a criminal.

I heard it and then Graciliano told me

that his son and Mom were in love.

That's a lie.

Sara, that's not true.

Did Graciliano tell you

his son was a thief?

No, right?

You can't believe

what that old drunk says.

It's natural, a father would do anything

to defend the memory of their son.

What happened to your son Joaquín?

He had an accident.

He died years before you were born.

Did he tell you that Joaquín

tried to kidnap your mom and I saved her?

Yes, that's the truth.

Joaquín Mosquera paid with his life

for the crimes he committed.

That's the true story, Sara.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Professor,

why do I even waste your time?

How did it go?

You didn't take it?

No, Mati, I swear I tried,

but this is not for me.

So? Are you dropping out?

You promised your grandpa

you'd finish school.

I know, Mati, it hurts me deeply

not to keep my word,

but I can't spend my whole life

fulfilling my family's dreams.

He'll die when he finds out.

If he loves me like he says,

he should understand.

What will you do?

Take pictures.

Oh, Sara. That's not a serious profession.

Especially for a woman.

Who says? You?

Perhaps that's why I like it so much.

Did you make sure no one followed you?

Yes, I took several turns

before getting here, just as you asked.

-Is something wrong?

-I'm not sure.

But I think The Turk is seeking revenge.

Listen to me.

I'll trust you a hundred percent.

I can't risk myself too much.

You'll take care of the crops,

packaging, and sales.

The workers are gathering the new harvest.

I'll get you a new order to negotiate

in a few days, don't worry about that.

Sounds good, but I worry.

Any mistake can cost us our lives.

From now on, look into the client well.

Make sure you're not being followed

those days.

And keep your mouth shut.

Got it.

Pay yourself.

This business is just you and me now,

that's it.

CAUCA VALLEY PRISON

I hope you have good news for me.

I spoke to a judge.

We could reopen the case

and appeal the sentence.

I guess that requires a favor.

You help me, I help you.

I want a name to start with.

Listen here, journalist.

If you want information from me,

rather than act in good faith,

you can leave the way you came.

And don't ever come back.

-My pleasure.

-Dad, this is Tino, my professor.

I wanted to ask you

What are your intentions with my daughter?

Is this the last century? I have to

ask for your permission to see her?

Let me be clear,

Sara has a vigilant father behind her.

Hi.

-Hi.

-I didn't know you were here again.

I'm looking for Tino, actually.

Do you know where he is?

Eliana, how much longer

will you hide him from me?

Different people said they saw him here.

He comes in and out.

I never know when he's here.

Sara.

Look.

He doesn't want to see you.

-Was that it?

-Mm-hmm.

I'd rather

he had told me, I guess.

Me too.

I never meant to harm Tino.

I'm not like that.

Look, honestly,

if I were you I'd stop looking for him.

I'm sorry. I have things to do.

-Are you serious right now?

-Yes, Auntie.

I was there when she didn't take the exam

and dropped out.

Are you sure she gave up?

Absolutely.

Don't tell her I told you.

But Sara is still acting strange.

She's still talking about becoming

a photographer and all that.

Well, honey, don't worry,

thank you for telling me.

Okay? Bye.

I'm going out, in case anyone asks for me.

-Yes, ma'am. Ma'am?

-Hmm.

You know I've always been discreet.

But there's something you should know

about Miss Sara.

What?

What's wrong?

I know why she's not focusing

on her studies.

Berenice, tell me, please.

You can trust me.

She's dating an employee at the ranch.

What?

Who?

Joel, Mr. Rogelio's driver.

Wasn't Joel your boyfriend?

Was.

Your car has arrived, ma'am.

And this car? Whose is it?

A friend's.

Thanks.

Close your eyes.

-My eyes?

-Yes.

-Why?

-Close your eyes.

Oh, what are you going to do now?

Not yet, almost, almost.

-Open them.

-Now?

Do you want to marry me?

Are you crazy? Of course not.

-Why not?

-Because.

Your rejection hurts me.

I'm not getting married now anyway.

-Why are you such a fool?

-Because of you.

-No, I'm not to blame.

-It's all your fault.

-Why spend your salary on a necklace?

-Because you deserve it.

And because very soon

I'll have enough

to take you around the world.

How does that sound?

I like it.

-You believe in yourself.

-Oh, you're underestimating me.

Ask and it shall be. Where do you

want to go? Now. Right now.

-Honestly?

-Uh-huh.

Nowhere.

No, actually, I want

to breathe fresh, pure air and that's it.

Yes.

What did I do now?

You, nothing. Strangely.

Oh

I'm trying to organize my life.

I dropped out of school.

I have completely failed my grandpa.

The worst part is that I don't

feel bad or guilty,

I feel like a huge weight was lifted.

That's it, I did it.

That's because you made the right choice.

-I hope so.

-And

now we'll have time to have fun.

You're only thinking about having fun,

huh?

I've suffered enough, Sara, I deserve it.

-Poor thing.

-Mm-hmm.

-You know what?

-What?

Since you came into my life,

I've had a chance to enjoy things,

and I've never been happier?

-No? Are you happy?

-Mm-hmm.

Where will you take me?

Oh Let's see what I come up with.

I thought it was Tino.

My brother?

Looks like him, no?

Forgive me,

but I care and I feel guilty

for not telling Tino what happened.

That's how it happened.

Do you really not care

about how your brother feels?

Sara

Life can take things away

or give things back.

It took ten years of my life, and he

got his heart broken. There's no comparing

his suffering with mine.

So I'm a reward for you

and a punishment for him.

Is that what you mean?

That's one way of looking at it.

I disagree with your way of looking at it,

I'm not a prize or a punishment.

I didn't say that. Are we going to start?

-You're going to be like that?

-I don't understand you.

You say you want to learn to love.

But you can't even forgive your brother.

It's not that easy, Sara.

-It's hard. I can't just

-I know it's probably hard.

But you could try, at least.

I don't want to be with someone

whose heart is filled with bitterness.

Could you make an effort, at least,

to try to solve things with Tino?

I can try.

But I don't know if I can.

It's enough for me if you try.

-Okay?

-Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

-Sara.

-Oh, Mom.

What are you doing here?

Where were you?

With friends from school.

Okay

I'd prefer you tell me the truth.

I was with my boyfriend.

You couldn't tell me?

It's my personal life.

So personal that you couldn't trust me?

Mom, it's not about trust.

Grandpa won't accept me

dating a Black person.

You know that very well.

Who told you?

That doesn't matter now.

Mom, I

I'm tired of everything being about

appearances in this family.

I want to be free.

I want to study what I want,

love who I want, and be who I am.

History repeats itself.

Someone told me

a nice phrase not long ago.

It says that important romances

define our destiny.

I want that.

I want my love to define my destiny.

-Who said that?

-Mr. Stewart.

He was the first one to know

about me and Joel.

What is it?

Honey, there are many things

you don't know about me.

Things I don't want to talk

about right now,

but when I look at you,

I see myself.

I suffered a lot at your age.

-I knew you wouldn't understand.

-No, no.

m*rder*r

m*rder*r

Who are you?

Answer or I'll sh**t.

Can I come in?

Sure.

I got you breakfast.

Josefina said you stayed last night.

Thanks.

Yes, I didn't feel good.

I didn't want to leave like that, either.

We have an unfinished conversation.

I also need to talk to you.

I thought about what we talked about

yesterday and wanted to ask you something.

I want to know if you

are against me being with Joel.

No.

Sure, yes, I'm worried.

But if you love him, you have my support.

I want you to have

the kind of love that was taken from me.

Do you love him?

Yes.

Does he love you?

As a mom, all I want

is for the person you're with

to love you back,

to love and respect you.

I know. But I can also

take care of myself.

Honey, love makes us vulnerable.

I want to know if you know Joel well,

if he's honest with you.

-Say yes to whatever I say.

-Why?

-Mr. Summer.

-Hey!

Nice to see you.

Joel, Mr. Joel.

You're just in time

for the quality test.

Come with me.

Wow.

I've never seen something like this.

Whoo!

A product so unique,

a client came half an hour ago

and he wanted to buy

all the merchandise. Right?

I gave my word to you.

I told him I'd wait to talk to you

to renegotiate.

Renegotiate?

What are you saying?

Look at it.

Tell me you wouldn't pay

50% more to take it.

Fifty percent more?

We had agreed on a price.

It's not personal, Mr. Summer.

That's business.

Supply and demand.

The product is good quality.

The amount we agreed on is all I have,

if a client offers more,

I must think about the margins.

You're more experienced than me,

wouldn't you do the same?

I'd make you keep your word.

And then what?

You're a foreigner

and my boss grew up here.

I wouldn't use violence.

Think,

we win with this quality.

You do, above all.

Thirty percent.

If it's not good,

I'll be back for your head.

We have a deal.

Come on.

Good day.

You're crazy, Joel.

No risk, no reward, Rowdy.

Mr. Rogelio wins while you risk our lives.

I thought you wanted to get

a good portion from this business.

Does Mr. Rogelio know

you're asking for more money?

It's up to you if you'll snitch.

Will you play with money?

Mmm

Joel is honest.

And he's told me things

that he hasn't told anyone. He's an orphan

and lived on the streets as a child,

and managed to move forward.

And you've seen him at the estate.

All he does is work,

he doesn't cause trouble,

and Dad wouldn't trust him

if he was weird.

What matters is if you trust him.

Yes, I trust him.

If you're happy, honey, I'm happy.

But, please, tell me these things.

Yes.

What do we do about Dad and Grandpa?

Do I tell them?

I think it's better

you don't tell them for now.

Live your life, enjoy, get to know him,

there will be time to tell them.

That's not what I came to tell you.

Mmm It's about school.

Yes.

I dropped out.

I don't like studying law.

I got into that major for Grandpa

and discovered my passion for photography.

I don't know how I will tell him,

with both the Joel thing and school,

he'll probably have a heart attack.

Your grandpa will have to understand

that he can't pick our destiny.

Hmm. "Let love pick our destiny."

Sara, are you sure that Mr. Stewart

said that?

Yes, it was Mr. Stewart.

But why is that so weird?

No, it reminds me of someone.

-Who?

-Someone from my past

who's been on my mind lately.

Thanks for breakfast.

I didn't make it anyway.

-I love you.

-And I love you.

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy.

Someone was in the house

last night and you didn't notice.

I'm sorry to contradict you,

but I'm a light sleeper

and didn't hear anything.

Oh, so I made it up?

Did I make it up?

Did you lose something?

A document. A document.

-Is anything missing from the house?

-No.

-Is anything missing in the house?

-No, sir.

Go.

It was you.

It was you, you old drunk.

You interrupted my sleep last night

with your mind addled by alcohol.

I stopped drinking, Mr. Alfredo.

You also accused me about

the carriage and you were wrong.

I'm not wrong!

I saw a man in the house last night.

How was he?

Perhaps it's someone we know.

Well, I didn't notice

because I didn't recognize him.

But he came into the study

and left a note on my desk.

What did the note say?

None of your business.

I'm not going to share my personal

things with a drunk n*gro.

Tell all these people

I don't want them in the house.

And that from now on,

nobody comes into the house

without my permission.

You either!

Get out of here.

m*rder*r

Will they buy it all?

All of it.

We just need to set up the delivery.

-Don't let them propose it.

-No, sir.

I picked a spot where men can hide

if things get weird.

Here are the accounts

of all the bales we're thinking about,

the weight,

the way we're going to transport them,

and the routes to avoid the police.

-What do you think?

-Good job.

It hasn't been easy.

You have to handle people,

get used to having the composure

to negotiate and run the risk

of going back to jail.

This doesn't pay for all that.

Like you say, "If you want to move up,

you have to think big." Right?

Keep it up, Joel. You're doing good.

Yes, we have to stay motivated, right?

You're not motivated or what?

Of course.

But sometimes we think that so much

work and effort will have a reward.

Don't worry.

I'll get you flowers next time.

I prefer cash.

Mmm.

Be straight.

Are you asking for a raise?

I know you're busy

solving that issue with The Turk,

but you've left me alone.

And you know that a happy employee

works double.

And I can work three times as hard.

Don't I deserve it?

Why do you need so much money?

Future plans.

Do those plans have a woman's name?

-Maybe.

-Okay.

Okay, let's wait and see this business

through with the gringo,

and if it goes well, we'll negotiate.

-Okay.

-You don't know what you're getting into.
