01x16 - Episode 16

[bunniefuu]

I couldn't care less

if the teacher marks me absent.

I've got important stuff to do here.

Matilde, have you heard any stories

from when my mom was pregnant?

No, no idea. I wasn't born.

Seriously, Mati.

I don't know, perhaps you heard something

about my mom or my dad,

or their marriage.

No, cousin, I didn't hear anything. Why?

Because I have my doubts.

Sara, all parents fight.

No, it's not about them.

It's about me.

What if I'm adopted?

Adopted?

No street child

would be loved as much as you are.

Your grandpa would lay down

his life for you

because you're your mom's daughter.

And you're just like your dad.

Why do you say that?

I don't know.

I think you're a bit crazy.

Actually, you better hurry back,

the teacher is asking for you.

Bye.

Graciliano.

This is from my mom.

She said you need it.

Do you feel better?

I also got you this.

Anis.

For all ailments.

Here.

It's a drink that relaxes you

and revives your spirit.

I like it.

What is it?

It's a secret.

My grandma taught me if I promised

not to tell anyone.

Your grandma?

She raised me.

And your mom?

I don't know. She disappeared one day.

My mom was indigenous.

She married a Black man.

Soon after that,

my dad was found dead in the river.

The affair was never really approved.

Shuffle them.

-I don't believe in this.

-Come on, Joe. Shuffle them.

Stop.

What is it?

I see things sometimes.

What things?

-Sometimes apparitions, words, images.

-Mm-hmm.

Your destiny

was shattered when you were a child.

You took a path that wasn't yours.

And?

It's too late now.

No, it's not too late.

It's not too late, Joe.

The boy who hurt you

will be back to fix everything.

The boy who hurt me

is my brother.

Hmm? It was his fault.

-I don't see a brother, anyway.

-He stopped being one a long time ago.

Do you know what it means?

What does it mean?

-Oh, you don't know?

-No.

That we're alone.

You should go back home.

I don't like you being here.

I'll leave if you tell me the truth.

Be careful, Graciliano.

I need to know.

When and how did my parents fall in love?

Why don't you ask them?

Because they'll never tell me the truth.

That's true.

Nobody speaks the truth here.

Why did my grandfather make my dad

sign some agreements?

Did he fear he'd marry for money?

What was that about?

Rogelio was always in love

with your mother.

That was his punishment.

Punishment? How so?

Why would he have to be punished?

Because we never get what we want.

Was my mom pregnant when she got married?

What do you want to know, Miss Sarita?

I told you, I want the truth.

I'll answer one question.

Only one.

No, Graciliano.

Think it over.

My parents aren't my parents, right?

They

found me.

Am I

adopted?

That's three questions.

I know how to count, Miss Sara.

-Even if your dad thinks I'm an idiot.

-Tell me the truth.

Please, I beg you.

Please.

You were found

on the street, at the church.

When you were a couple of months old.

Your parents

got married to give you a family.

Everything in the Azcárate family

is a sham.

Do yourself a favor, Miss Sara,

and run away.

Run away, Miss Sara.

Everyone here is cursed.

-Good morning.

-Hello.

Hello. Ofe, is Sara not up yet?

No, I haven't seen her.

Is she still feeling sick?

Was she sick?

Doesn't she have school?

I'll go check on her.

Excuse me.

Enjoy.

Don't look for me.

I'm not coming back.

I'd rather leave forever

than be the cause of your misfortunes.

Sara.

Mrs. Mariana, we looked all over the house

and the girl's nowhere to be found.

I don't understand.

Why did she leave us that message?

Rogelio.

Where could she have gone?

I don't know, but she can't be far.

Sarita took one of the cars.

And nobody saw her leave?

-She probably left while we were sleeping.

-Oh, my God.

-Maura!

-Sir?

Tell everyone that they better find

my granddaughter

or they'll pay the consequences.

Yes, sir.

Go look for her, honey. Move!

No, no.

My daughter left in the white truck.

We don't know at what time, or where to.

Split up,

and search all the nearby estates.

And divide up the trails in the area.

Move! Go find her!

There's a reward for whoever finds her.

-Yes, sir.

-At your service, boss.

Why is your driver here?

I fired him myself.

-He's another employee looking for Sara.

-Did you disobey me?

Don't you think there are more important

things to worry about right now?

What are you doing?

That's Mr. Benítez's motorcycle.

-Are you telling on me?

-No, man.

If Sara left in the car,

she's way ahead of us.

Do you think you'll find her

on foot or horse?

Plus, I'm after that reward.

Lizeth, like I told you,

I hope you feel at home at El Búcaro.

We're all a big family in this estate.

Thank you, Mr. Ángel.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

Good morning.

We're looking for Sara.

Mr. Alfredo's granddaughter.

Have you seen her here?

She's in one of the estate's cars.

No, I haven't seen her.

But if you'd like, you can come in

and ask the other employees.

-Miguel, take him to the warehouse.

-Yes, sir.

-Excuse me.

-Yes, go ahead. Oh! One question.

Sara is Mrs. Mariana Azcárate's daughter.

Right?

Yes, sir. Excuse me.

Go ahead.

-Yes?

-Good morning.

I'm calling you because I have

information that might interest you.

Mrs. Mariana Azcárate's daughter

is missing.

Missing?

A worker came and asked about her.

That's all I know.

We need someone from La Victoria

who can keep us informed

on what goes on there.

I think I know somebody.

-Ángel, one more thing.

-Yes?

I need you to bring the paperwork

I left on the desk to Cali.

An expenses folder.

Okay, I'll get them

and bring them over right away.

No, no. Not you.

I need you to stay at the estate.

Send a trusted employee, please.

All right, sir.

Do you mind staying on hold?

I'll write down your address in the study.

Ready, sir.

What do I do?

Does Miss Azcárate

know she was found on the street?

You were found

on the street, at the church.

Everything in the Azcárate family

is a sham.

Thank you, Chief.

I'll be here, let me know

if you hear anything.

-Where are you going?

-Cali.

If she took the car,

she probably went there.

I just spoke to my friend,

the Cali police chief.

He'll be in charge.

I still want to go, Rogelio.

I know her well.

I think I know best where to look.

In that case, I also know her.

I'll come with you.

No! No.

I'm going alone.

-This is no time to argue.

-I'm not arguing.

It's clear to me

that we could've avoided this

by telling the truth from the start.

Why don't you look for her around here?

Hey!

Stop!

Stop, stop!

Stop, bro. Stop.

Hello, ma'am.

How can we help you?

It's nothing.

-Thanks.

-Nothing? You were asking for help.

Get in, we'll give you a ride.

No, I was confused.

I'm going to my estate. Thanks.

You have an estate, ma'am?

Yes, I'm Mr. Alfredo Azcárate's

granddaughter.

Mr. Alfredo Azcárate?

Isn't that the old man

who kicked us out like dogs?

That's right.

He treated us like drunkards and thieves.

Plus, he owes us some money.

I think it's time to collect the debt

the old rich man owes us.

I think so.

Come here, don't fly away, birdie!

Should I get her?

Go in reverse.

We'll grab her and take her.

All right, man.

Here, here. Start slowing down.

We almost got her.

No, no! Please, don't hurt me.

What? Do you want money? I'll get it.

-We won't hurt you.

-Don't touch me!

-Easy!

-Don't touch me. Let me go!

Ow!

Let me go!

Let me go now!

Hey!

Did you see a lady? A young lady.

Her name is Sara.

-No, no, no!

-Come here!

-Come here!

-Don't!

Don't move!

Let's go or he'll k*ll us.

-Don't touch me!

-Come here!

Let me go! Let me go!

-Let me go!

-Okay!

-Get off me!

-Okay, don't move.

Get off me.

-Relax.

-Hey!

-Okay, okay.

-Don't hurt me.

Okay, okay.

Did they hurt you?

No.

They didn't do anything.

Let's go.

Sara's not here.

Maybe you didn't see her come in.

Why don't we ask the others?

I was here all day and I didn't see her

come in. What happened?

I'm not sure. She questioned us all day

yesterday about when she was a baby.

And my relationship with Rogelio.

Do you think she found out?

I don't know.

-I hope I get a chance to explain

-Hello.

-Hello!

-Hello. This is Tino.

He's one of our tenants

and Sara and Matilde's teacher.

This is Sara's mom.

My pleasure.

-Have you seen Sara?

-No. She didn't go to school yesterday.

I see she's not here, either.

What's going on?

She left home and is missing.

Why did you say I was found on the street?

I was angry because

you threw me under the bus

with your grandpa so I got back at you.

But it wasn't right.

-I shouldn't have made that up

-You didn't make it up.

It's the truth.

I don't know.

-It's what I heard and

-Don't play dumb, okay?

You know perfectly well it's true.

My parents were married

just to give me a family.

So nice of them.

Do you think that's wrong?

It's too much.

Believe me, it could be worse, Sara.

I don't have any parents.

Or anybody who would've done something

out of love for me.

I don't know what that's like.

But it must be nice.

Trust me, I see you,

and I wish I had at least

a little bit of what you have.

Oh, yes? You can have my life

if you want to.

-It's all yours.

-Really?

Can we switch?

I wish we could.

I don't think your grandfather

would take me.

He has an issue

with dark-skinned people.

My grandfather may have many flaws,

but he's a good person.

So he's your grandfather now?

I thought you weren't family.

It's a habit.

That's why he won't stop loving you

from one day to the next,

there are feelings.

Those never die.

Like love and hate, for example.

They're similar in that way.

I don't know if I'll stop loving them,

but I know I'll never forgive them, Joe.

Why didn't they tell me

that they found me?

We'll never know.

People lie for many reasons.

Out of fear,

or to survive.

You never know.

I'll never go back.

They gave you a good life, at least.

Joe, I don't know who I am.

That's our job!

We're whatever we decide to be.

You don't remember me, do you?

Ten years ago.

I ran you over.

With my brother.

I'll never forget it.

That day my fate changed again.

Sara will be back.

She may be confused,

but she's spoiled and adores you.

Ever since she moved to this house,

she never gets tired

of saying that she misses you all.

That she misses her home.

Let's hope that's true.

You know what, Jose?

I'll tell her the whole truth.

-All of it?

-Yes, all of it!

About Joaquín, about my baby.

That I was admitted, everything!

Mariana, do you think it's good

to dig up the past?

The past isn't gone for me.

To me, my son is alive and he's with me

every night I close my eyes.

I close my eyes and I see Joaquín,

and I imagine my baby and

what my life would have been

if they were alive.

Every time I see a young man

like Tino, I quickly think

that he's as old as my son

would be right now.

-That's why you stared at him?

-That's embarrassing.

I hope I didn't bother him.

I don't know if he noticed, but I did.

I had a strange sensation when I saw him.

Could I be going crazy again?

Oh, don't say that.

Oh!

Just a moment.

Hello?

Mariana, it's for you.

Is it?

Thank you.

-Hello?

-Mrs. Mariana.

I have Mr. Stewart's address in Cali.

Are you sure?

Yes, madam. Take note.

Yes.

All right.

Mm-hmm.

Lizeth, why are you doing this?

Madam, you were a good boss,

and what if we're wrong

and that man is not as good

as he says he is?

Nobody does all this for nothing.

And we don't know him well.

Don't worry, I'll find out who he is

and what his intentions are.

All right?

Thank you.

We have to go.

I'm not leaving yet.

I won't go back. Not today, at least.

Why not?

Because I need time to think, Joe.

Oof! There goes our whole day.

I have a different philosophy.

One of quality.

What's that?

Don't think.

It's better to live.

But really.

Forgive me.

What for?

For what I said.

Forgive me as well.

Won't you ask why?

Why?

For throwing you under the bus

with my grandfather.

We're even.

Two adopted kids are even.

It feels horrible, right?

To know that

Sometimes I wonder why

I was abandoned.

Why didn't they want me?

I don't think we'll ever know.

Sara!

My dad.

-Sara, honey!

-Shh, don't speak.

Don't say anything, Joe.

We're here!

Boss!

Sarita.

Why did you leave home like that?

You simply left a note.

You shouldn't make your mom

suffer like that.

Let's hear the girl's reasons!

What happened, honey?

You know better than I do.

What are you talking about?

How long will you keep playing dumb?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Sara.

And you're a traitor.

Surprise.

I've missed you.

-Any news on Sara?

-Oh, sweethearts.

Not much.

My parents called me asking

if I knew where she was.

Who knows what's going on.

I'll be back.

-Nice, no?

-Mm-hmm.

Professor.

This lady is looking for you.

I assume you know I'm your neighbor.

The owner of La Victoria Estate.

I know something.

Won't you offer me a seat?

Why are you here?

I'm here to meet the man

who stole our employees.

Would you like something to drink? Water?

A whiskey.

Do you live alone?

Listen, Mrs. Azcárate.

I didn't steal from you

because people aren't objects.

They're free to choose

where they want to work.

Yes, that's true.

But it's suspicious that you're

only interested in our employees.

Perhaps because they're the most

interested in leaving.

-Are you saying we don't treat them well?

-Don't get me wrong.

But if they were happy,

they wouldn't have taken my offer.

So I'm really sorry

if I'm causing you harm.

I don't know why

I don't believe anything you say.

What are you doing here?

Many years ago, I met someone who

arrived in the US illegally,

leaving everything behind,

he lost absolutely everything.

But the memories of these lands

kept him alive, that's why I'm here.

I wanted to see them.

I think I better go.

-I think so too.

-For someone from a developed country,

-you aren't too polite.

-But you're not far behind.

I remind you

that you came to my house uninvited.

To complain.

Yes, it's true.

I shouldn't have come.

Mariana.

Mrs. Azcárate.

If you're so concerned

about your employees, don't worry,

they'll be better off with me.

Given the financial situation

your estate is going through,

your employees might soon be unemployed.

What are you talking about?

Didn't your father

and your husband tell you

that these past three years

have only brought losses of over 16%

and that clients have been leaving?

That's impossible.

You should find out.

They're not telling you the truth,

apparently.

Now, if things stay as they are

or get worse,

please contact me.

I'd be interested in buying your land.

That will never happen.

La Victoria has never been

and will never be for sale.

Excuse me.

Oh!

Your room is very nice, Professor.

Um, take a seat.

Please.

Um

All right. Were you able to find out

about my brother, madam?

You can drop the formality.

Did you find out about my brother?

If you're asking whether I saw him, no.

I didn't see him,

but I found out something.

For example, I know he's working

outside of Cali.

Mm-hmm.

Where?

I don't know exactly, but

I know he comes once a week.

He always stops by the bar,

but always during the daytime.

On which days?

Usually on Tuesdays.

Around noon, more or less.

They say that he's a difficult guy,

just like you.

Good, thank you very much.

Very kind of you.

Really? That's it?

Yes, that's it.

Thank you very much.

Munchkin, open up, please.

Leave me alone!

Don't act like a child.

Let's talk, please.

-Sara.

-Now you want to talk, right?

I'll only talk to my mom when she's here.

Incredible.

You're not even capable

of controlling your daughter.

Perhaps I'm like you.

You couldn't control yours, either.

She locked herself in.

Yes.

And she just wants to talk to you.

Honey,

it's me.

You can't tell her the truth.

That's right.

Darling, I need to talk to you.

Please, open up.

One moment.

Let me talk to her alone.

If I lose my grandchild,

it'll be your fault.

-Are you okay?

-Yes, I'm fine.

What happened? Where were you?

-Nothing happened, I'm fine.

-Did something bad happen?

No, I said I'm fine.

Why are you packing?

Because I'm leaving.

-Sara, you're

-Let go of me!

You're the most important thing

in my life.

So why didn't you tell me the truth?

-I'm not your daughter.

-You are!

-I'm not!

-You are!

I was abandoned, that's it!

Yes, you weren't born from my womb,

that's true, but

you've been my daughter

since the moment I saw you.

Perhaps you don't know this.

But you saved my life.

You gave me a reason to live.

You are the best thing I have

in this world.

So then why didn't you tell me?

Forgive me.

I should've told you.

Your dad and granddad

didn't want to see you like this.

They didn't want you to suffer.

Where did you find me?

At the Immaculate Church.

At the doorstep.

In a little crib.

And you were the most beautiful thing

I had seen in my life.

Why? Why did they abandon me? Why?

-Why didn't they want me?

-I don't know, honey.

But you, look at me, have always been

and will always be my daughter. Always.

What matters is who we give our heart to.

My heart is yours and you know it.

How could someone

abandon a baby just like that?

-Like some trash, like it's worthless.

-I don't know, honey. I don't know.

I know it hurts.

I know it hurts.

I know it hurts.

But you

you've grown up happy.

With a grandfather who loves you.

And parents

who would give their life for you.

Tell me something.

My dad and you got married for me?

Tell me the truth.

So was everything a farce?

-No, no, no!

-So then?

-So what is it?

-Honey, let me explain. Sit down, please.

Get out of here, I'll pack my suitcase.

I'm going to Cali tomorrow.

-Please!

-Get out, please.

Please.

What happened?

She's leaving.

Sara wants to leave.

No, we can't allow it.

Rogelio, please.

We have to give her space.

She has to think.

-Do you want her to leave?

-No!

Of course I don't want her to leave.

And I do, at the same time.

Her world has just come crashing down.

If she needs space to rebuild it,

then we have to give it to her.

We could lose her.

If we don't let her go,

we'll push her away even more.

-I'm sorry, but I don't agree.

-Rogelio.

We're not what matters now.

It's her that matters.

Couldn't you have kept your mouth shut?

Why tell her that?

It's her right.

We're going to lose her!

That's what happens when we lie.

Sooner or later, it always comes to light.

The more time they remain hidden,

the larger the impact.

You won't tell me what happened

with Miss Sara and her tantrum.

It wasn't a tantrum.

She escaped home for two hours

and that's not a tantrum?

She returned because I made her.

Not because she wanted to.

Why does she listen to you?

Are you friends?

Sure.

I'm friends with the boss' daughter.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, Joe?

I need to rest.

On my own.

You like her.

Yes, you like her.

What do you like, that she's rich?

Do you really think you can climb up

with a little girl like her?

I never needed anyone

in my life to get ahead.

Especially not a woman.

And no.

I don't like her.

I'm not in love with her

or anybody, Berenice.

Because I don't believe in love.

We all need love, Joe.

-But I don't. Do you know why?

-Why?

Because love makes us weak, vulnerable,

and I don't want that.

If I had to choose who to give my soul to,

I'd give it to money.

It's more useful.

It won't betray you.

And I'll make so much of it,

that I'll get out of here

and go to a place where I never

have to answer to anyone again.

You are right not to pay attention to her.

Because she won't come back.

Go away.

Let's talk.

I asked you for one thing,

not to say a word.

And you turn me in.

It was the best thing.

-You don't know what's best for me.

-Do you really want to sacrifice all this?

Are you aware that you have a family?

People who care about you.

You'll inherit this someday.

-Have you thought about it?

-So you're saying that

since I'll inherit this land someday,

I have to pretend like nothing happened?

I'm not like that.

Money doesn't move me like other people.

That's not what I said.

Stay out of my life.

And don't pretend,

I know my granddad offered you money

to get me back here.

-But I didn't

-So

I hope you spend it well.
