01x25 - Episode 25

[bunniefuu]

Oh, come on, Mariana.

Stop being so dramatic. What a drag.

Instead of blaming me,

why don't you think about what you did?

What I did?

Yes, you disrespected me in my home.

I'm willing to forgive that.

Why can't you forgive me?

-I did what any husband would've done.

-Don't justify yourself!

You'll never touch me again, you hear me?

I want you to leave my house

and I want you to leave now.

How will you throw me out on your own?

She's not alone.

Women's revolution in this house.

Did you see what happens

when you trust the servants?

Be respectful, Rogelio.

They're my family.

Yes.

I see, more of a family than me,

at least. Right?

Don't make a mistake,

I can kick you out whenever I want.

You know what? I'm bored.

I'll continue having breakfast.

Jerk!

The fever won't go down.

This is weird.

I've never seen these symptoms.

He seems intoxicated.

He said it could be the water.

Sure,

but it could've also been some bug.

-Did you check for any bites?

-No.

Don't tell Ignacia.

Tino, don't tell her

-I kept that watch.

-No.

-I'll give you half.

-Don't worry.

I won't tell her, I won't.

Who is Ignacia?

He's delirious.

Ignacia is the woman who raised us.

We went through hardship

when we were little, but

we felt that if we stayed together,

nothing could happen.

No, no, this is

I'll go get Graciliano,

stay and watch him.

-Yes.

-I'll be back.

It's okay, breathe.

Breathe, breathe.

Alfredo, how are you feeling?

I'm still here.

-Dealing with women's issues.

-What did my daughter do to you?

Sometimes, you know, you have to be tough

to make women understand who's in charge.

Not in this case.

You're no one to tell

my daughter what to do.

And especially

not to raise your hand at her.

-Can I explain what happened?

-There's nothing to explain.

Pack your things and get out of here.

You'll leave the way you came,

with nothing.

How are you?

It's been tough for me.

-Thanks, Dad.

-I didn't want you to see me like this.

Dad.

You shouldn't push away

from the people who protect you.

I didn't want you to come here

to protect you.

Alcohol got the best of me.

It stirred up the past

and filled me with demons.

Josefina,

I don't want you hanging around here.

This land is cursed.

But I don't want to lose you, either.

I don't want to lose you, Dad.

-Why don't we leave for Cali?

-I can't.

No.

This is where I have to be.

You may not understand,

but I started off here,

and this is where my life will end.

Sorry to interrupt.

Graciliano, I need you urgently,

Joe is very sick.

He has a high fever and it won't go away.

I don't know what else to do.

-Let's see what I can do, wait here.

-Yes, Dad, I'll be here.

Quit the gossip and go help out.

I can't.

I have to take care of Mr. Alfredo.

Good morning, sir.

I'm looking for Rogelio Benítez.

Who are you, sir?

I'm Mr. Stewart.

My pleasure, Mr. Stewart.

No time for introductions.

Let's go, it's urgent.

Mr. Stewart, I don't know where my dad is,

you can go find him.

Be my guest. See you.

Let's go, Graciliano.

What are you doing here?

Do we have a meeting?

-I'm looking for Benítez.

-Now is not a good time.

My daughter's not here.

-Is she or not?

-No, she's not.

And I repeat,

it's not a good time.

Hey!

Give this guy something to drink

then he can leave.

Let's go.

Tell him I need to see him.

Doesn't matter when or where.

-What did he eat?

-We don't know.

We checked and he has no bites.

He said he drank water from the well.

He's poisoned.

-Poisoned?

-Yes.

We have to do a cleanse.

We don't know if the poison

has polluted everything.

We have to take him to the doctor.

No, there's no time.

You have to save him. Please help him.

I'll do everything I can.

We have to clean the sweat,

keep him cold and from sleeping.

Bring his fever down

while I get something

to cleanse him internally.

Towels. Let's get towels.

-My brother can't die.

-Oh.

-No, he can't die.

-What's wrong?

-He can't die.

-Look at me, relax. Joe will be fine.

Help me get some towels,

we need to cover him quickly.

No, this isn't working.

He's boiling.

Pass me more rags.

Please.

Oh my God.

Berenice.

What are you doing here?

Can you help us?

Please.

He's falling asleep. Joe!

Graciliano said to keep him awake.

-Joe.

-Joe. Joe.

-Open your eyes.

-Joe.

-Joe.

-Joe.

Joe.

The doctor said you should stop drinking.

The doctor doesn't know

how much I've had to endure in life.

So whiskey will solve your problems?

Maybe not,

but at least it helps me

to forget for a moment

that I've made mistakes.

Don't look at me like that.

Sometimes, I'm able to admit I'm wrong.

I should've never let you marry Benítez.

No, Dad, you wouldn't have stopped me.

I had made up my mind.

I should've done more.

But I was weak.

I fell for it easily.

Yes, we were fooled,

but by the idea that a family

must have a mother, father, and kids.

We could've given Sara a home anyway.

I didn't have to get married.

Everything was better

when it was just you and me.

When you and I were in charge of it.

Oh, my child.

We should admit it once and for all.

We are no good at love.

No, Dad.

It's not that we're bad.

We're just in love with two ghosts.

You love my mom.

And I love Joaquín.

Two down in the ranch.

Those who don't contribute can stay away.

Dad

-Don't refer to Ofelia like that.

-Ofelia is ungrateful.

Ungrateful?

Ofelia is an unconditional woman.

Don't compare her with Rogelio,

that would be an insult.

Neither knew what their place was.

Dad, I was wrong.

But I tried.

Nobody can say I didn't try

to give Rogelio his place.

But you couldn't give Ofelia a chance.

Because your mom's place is sacred.

I won't betray your mother's memory.

What does having a chance at love

have to do with betraying my mom's memory?

Have you thought

that she'd like to see you happy?

In good company?

Take some of that pain out of your heart.

And stop hurting the people

who really love you.

I need a whiskey.

Dad

Ofelia is an extraordinary woman.

Don't remove her from your life.

Get off that pedestal

from which you look down on everyone

and admit you care about her.

Graciliano, those won't do. Here.

These are the good ones.

How do you know?

You gave Joe something.

None of your business.

Yes, it is.

The boy is like my son.

You can't play with people's lives

like they're animals.

You better not come close to Joe again.

-Okay.

-Make tea with these herbs.

Make him drink all of it.

Joe.

-I have to go, miss.

-Where are you going?

I have something to do.

Will the herbs work?

I'm sure. They'll work, trust me.

Joe. Joe.

Here, have some.

-Drink it, Joe.

-Drink, have some.

That's it.

-Yes. Breathe, breathe.

-Okay. Okay.

-Okay, swallow it.

-Breathe.

-Breathe. A bit more.

-That's it.

Here, some more.

-Breathe. Breathe.

-Breathe.

Okay. That's it.

I need air.

No. No.

-A little more.

-No.

A little more, the last one. Here.

Do you like the teacher?

-Yes, I like him.

-You don't like Tino.

Why don't you grow up?

Why don't you admit

you want something with me?

God, I never ask you for anything,

you know that.

But today I want to ask you

not to let anything happen to this idiot.

Please. Please, I beg you.

Sara.

-It's working.

-It is?

My God, thank God.

Forty years ago,

I made you a promise.

And I've kept it.

I haven't been with any other woman.

Although, I hurt Ofelia along the way,

who has proved to be loyal

not only to me, but to the estate.

Do you think Mariana is right?

That I should give myself another chance?

Help me.

Give me a sign.

His pulse is normal.

The fever is gone.

Bad weeds never die.

We said we'd always be together.

I'm leaving with or without you tomorrow.

If you choose to stay,

you'll never see me again.

I can't,

they want to help, they're good.

I knew you'd come.

We'll have money and a car today.

We can't steal from these people, Tino.

They want to help me.

I like Sara, she's my friend.

-Do you think you're like her?

-We can't steal that car.

We k*lled her.

-We k*lled Sara, Tino.

-Shh.

It's okay, relax.

It's a nightmare.

We're in the ranch. We're fine.

Don't let them, Tino.

Don't let them take me to jail.

That won't happen.

You're with me.

Why didn't you come get me?

I couldn't.

They took me to Bogotá.

We were kids, Joe.

We thought we were big, but we were kids.

I've been surviving all this time,

like we always did.

You have no idea

everything I went through there.

There hasn't been a day

I haven't thought of that.

But I had to go through it.

I know.

My life could've been different.

I could've been like you.

That's why I came.

To help you recuperate your life,

restart your life.

Time

We can't recuperate lost time.

Forgive me, brother. Forgive me.

Don't think that I don't try.

But it makes me mad.

I want to rest.

Alone.

So you were the one who ran me over.

Yes.

I robbed your house,

stole your car, and hit you.

I was a bad person.

Joe was innocent.

And he took the blame.

He went to jail for you.

That's why we were separated

for ten years.

My brother lost ten years of his life

because of me.

You never visited him?

I couldn't.

They'd constantly transfer him

and I was in Bogotá.

I tried calling him to see him,

but he didn't want that.

What could I do?

I was 12 years old.

At night, I'd plan ways

to help him escape jail.

And that was my life.

When I heard he was free,

I came for him to help him.

But the damage was already done.

And as you can tell

it's very hard to mend it.

Miss Sara.

Sorry to interrupt.

Your mom is looking for you.

Tell her I'm coming. Thanks, Maura.

Don't feel like this.

Joe is fine now.

Yes.

I'm going.

Tino, I want you to know that

I don't judge you

for what happened ten years ago.

Honestly,

I don't know what to think.

It's been a pretty strange day.

And things at home

aren't going very well.

I understand.

Just know that what I told you is true.

I love you, Sara.

The bus to Cali will leave soon.

If you leave now, you may catch it.

We'll talk later.

Who's there?

Show your face.

I'm ordering you to let me go now!

You don't know who you're messing with.

I told you to leave.

I won't leave you alone, okay?

My job is to keep you

from making a mistake like this.

This isn't a mistake.

It's seeking justice

against someone who ruined my life.

If you want to seek justice,

take him to the police, please.

Sometimes we have to make

difficult choices, Ángel.

Go.

Leave, Ángel.

You can't be an accomplice,

this has nothing to do with you.

If you commit a crime like this,

you'll never be the same person again.

I don't get it.

Everything was okay yesterday,

but this morning he decides to leave.

He got his bags and left.

Yes, we made the decision this morning.

It was very sudden.

Mom, what happened? I need the truth,

please, I'm asking you.

You know that we haven't been doing well.

And we tried, but

but there are differences

that make coexistence impossible.

Couldn't he tell me that in person?

He chose to leave without notice

and leave a meaningless note?

You two will be able to talk

about whatever you have to talk about.

Honey, he'll always be your dad.

You can talk here if you want.

This is your house.

You never loved my dad, right?

Love takes many forms.

Did you love him in any way like that?

Mom, you spent 20 years

20 years with someone you never loved.

I loved the home we gave you.

And it's not an example for anyone,

I know.

But I can say this,

we can't force love.

My advice

is that you listen to your heart.

Because a bad choice can change your life.

-Why didn't you come get me?

-I couldn't.

You don't know

what I had to go through there.

My life could've been different.

I don't judge you for something

that happened ten years ago.

Show your face.

Who sent you? The Turk?

He's an as*h*le. I can get you

way more money than he offers.

Let's negotiate. No, no. Don't be a fool.

I, I can

Who's there?

Who are you? Show your face!

Let me go!

I must be very sick

if you're taking care of me.

You're definitely better now.

You're talking nonsense again.

I thought I was going to die.

What happened?

You were intoxicated.

Thanks to Graciliano,

we're not mourning you.

Aha.

So you do have some feelings for me.

-You finally admit it.

-Not all good, don't get too excited.

And Tino?

Or was he a dream?

He took care of you the whole time.

And he told me you're brothers.

That's a complicated

story.

He told me the whole truth.

All of it?

-All of it.

-Hmm.

What a nice gesture.

-Well, I'll let you rest now.

-No, wait, don't go.

Let's talk.

-I don't want to talk now.

-I know.

But at least let me tell you

what I wanted to tell you last night.

What is it?

I do have feelings for you.

I've never felt this way for someone.

The problem is that I don't know

how to love.

Nobody ever taught me.

I can't look after people.

That's why I always run away,

I always escape because

because I always think

I'm going to get hurt.

But that's not the point. The point is

Teach me.

Teach me how to love.

Because I love you.

And I want to love you right.

I want to give myself the chance

to feel

Why are you here, Dad?

I won't let you ruin your life.

My life was ruined a long time ago

when that b*stard shot me.

Now I'm going to do the same,

but I won't fail.

I know what you feel.

I've felt it for 20 years.

You don't know who I am!

I've lived with this man

and endured his contempt.

I remember what he did to us

and what they did every day.

That's why we have to finish him off, Dad.

Don't you think I want to?

Every time I'd be drinking,

I'd try to k*ll him.

Then I realized that if I k*lled him,

they'd win again.

Because I'd die behind bars, far from you.

Your mom would like for us

to be a family again.

The three of us.

You don't think I do?

Do you think I like to pretend

I'm someone I'm not?

Dad,

every day that goes by

is another day without you two.

Dad,

the only way for us to be a family again

is for them to pay, to seek justice.

Do you really want him dead?

No, no.

Think about it, I have a daughter.

I swear, I

We're not like them.

I know that.

But we can't be so weak.

It's better to be smart than strong,

my son.

You're intelligent.

Look what you've become.

There's another way of doing things.

-The problem is that I'm alone, Dad.

-No, no.

You're not alone.

I can hear you.

I know you're there.

Tell me already, what do you want from me?

We have to get rid of him quickly.

Conceal who had him.

I don't understand!

What's going on? Tell me!

-I have to go.

-No. Wait.

Stay a little longer.

I came to check if you're okay.

I see you're fine, now I have to go.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

You don't?

I'm afraid.

Of what?

Of what?

Of getting my heart broken, Joe.

I'd never do that, Sara.

I know how betrayal hurts.

The person I trusted the most

in my life betrayed me.

Tino?

I don't want you to feel the same pain.

I thought love made us weak,

vulnerable.

But with you,

I feel like we will protect each other.

I really have to go now.

I thought you left.

Do you truly love her?

-Why do you ask me that?

-Answer me.

Do you love her?

Yes.

It seems like life

is determined to keep us at odds.

This isn't a w*r.

It's not w*r, but you came back

to claim that you also love her.

I do,

but I don't want to compete with you.

I want you to promise me

you won't make her suffer.

Can you stop talking like you're above me?

-Don't take it like that.

-I do

because it's how you make me feel.

Did you forget we were thieves?

The only difference between us

is that I went to jail

and you didn't.

All I want is to make you feel

that my love for you

is above everything else.

Well, thank you.

Joe,

I hope

someday

you heal that resentment

that won't let you live.

You're so lucky.

I wish Sara would look at me

with half the love she looks at you.

Take care of her.

And take of yourself, brother.

Tino.

Sara will be happy with me. Don't worry.

I'm going to believe

in a ghost at this point in my life?

You were talking to one

when the painting fell.

I like talking to your mom.

It helps me organize my thoughts.

And? What do you think?

I won't call her.

I won't look for her either.

Why did you call me if you don't

want to talk about it?

I let the alcohol affect me.

I was a bit scared, that's all.

Do you know why you called me?

Because you're very proud

and you don't want to get Ofelia.

She burned your mother's carriage!

She should apologize.

We can fix the carriage.

I'm asking you,

do you want her to come back home?

I can't give her the space your mom had.

Dad, please, Mom died 30 years ago.

Nobody will compare them.

Do you think your uncle, cousins,

and the people in Cali won't comment?

Who cares about that?

What matters is that you're okay,

that you're happy.

I do care.

I care what people think.

I won't like it when they start saying

I replaced your mom with an employee.

A spade is a spade.

Ofelia has no pedigree. No name.

-What you're saying is horrible.

-It's the truth.

Don't act surprised,

you know perfectly well

how things work in this city,

this country.

Yes, I know exactly how it all works,

but that doesn't mean I agree with it.

I condemn it, in fact.

Think whatever you want,

but as long as I live,

the Azcárate name will remain untarnished.

Did you forget the time

you tried to tarnish it?

Hmm?

Thankfully, we found out

that n*gro was a criminal.

I can't believe you still say that

after how I've suffered.

I loved Joaquín, Dad.

I still love him.

And here you are,

alive and sane thanks to me.

I would never have forgiven you

for giving me a Black grandchild.

-I gave it to you.

-Well, God has his ways.

Don't forget that I did have it.

I can't believe you said that.

I'm sorry.

But that's what I think.

I'd never forgive you or anyone

for messing with a n*gro.

I will never regret

the love I shared with Joaquín. Never.

Cheers to the dead.

The only mistake I've made in my life

is having stayed with you.

I thought you'd change,

that Sara had softened you, but no.

You're still as bitter

as you've always been.

Perhaps you deserve to end up alone.

It would be unfair to Ofelia

to stay with a r*cist like you.

Your mom helped me bear

the loneliness of these past years.

Insanity

helped me stay sane.

For you it was insanity,

for me, vengeance, Dad.

How else could I endure so much pain?

May hate never beat love, son. Hmm?

-Mariana isn't like them.

-No?

She slept with my enemy for 20 years.

She doesn't know that you're alive.

She also has a right

to rebuild her life like you did yours.

It's not the same thing.

I rebuilt my life

because they took away the one I had here.

I hope you don't lose your life

over this revenge plot.

It's almost over.

Mariana fell into Mr. Stewart's clutches.

Then she'll have to admit

she's in love and I'll tell her who I am.

If you're close to the fire,

you might get burned.

I won't fail.

I've waited for this moment for years.

They just need to lose their harvest

and she'll collect the IOUs she signed.

They'll have to give me this estate,

this whole land,

and they'll end up in poverty.

Like me, without love,

without family, money, or anything.

-Are you sure about this?

-I'm very sure, Dad. Absolutely.

Nothing will change my mind.

I don't like to see you like this,

so full of resentment.

-Can I help you, ma'am?

-Yes.

I need to talk about your son.

I hope my memory can go that far back.

I know my mom

was in love with your son Joaquín.

I need to know that story.

You're the only one in this house

who will tell me.

That story doesn't have a happy ending.

But it's my family's story, and yours too.

It's very important to me

to know what happened.

I won't leave here until you tell me.

The truth can hurt

more than you can imagine, ma'am.

I don't care.

This story is about

your grandfather, your father

Because of how they are I'm here.

All right.

Your mother and my son

grew up practically as siblings.

But their sibling love

transformed into a romantic love.

A love as strong as it was dangerous.

That love turned into a tragedy

for both families.

Why?

Young people think love conquers all.

Don't you think so?

Not just me,

Mr. Alfredo was never going to allow

his only daughter to marry

someone like us.

So what happened?

Your grandfather did the impossible

to separate them.

He put your mom in a convent for a while.

What happened to your son Joaquín?

He had an accident.

He died years before you were born.

Luckily, things have changed,

and young people

can have a different life now.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Yes, Graciliano.
