01x46 - Episode 46

Post by bunniefuu »

Joe!

What a surprise!

What are you doing here?

The truth is

I need your help.

Yes, of course. Please, sit down.

-Go ahead.

-Excuse me.

How can I help you? Uh

Whatever you need, if I can.

I'm very grateful

for what you've done for Sara.

Ah, I did it with pleasure.

Mrs. Mariana, I'm here

because I need another chance.

I want to do things right

and leave that world I lived in behind.

And

this land is the only place

where I feel at home.

And where I like to work.

I'm very happy to hear that.

Our doors are open to you, Joe,

but we're not doing well right now.

I'm not sure how much we can pay you.

You don't worry about that.

As long as I have room and board,

I'll handle the rest.

Okay, welcome.

Graciliano was just put in charge

of the estate,

and I think you could be

his right-hand man.

You could help.

-Thanks.

-Mariana.

We need to talk.

I just received shocking news

and I don't know what to think.

What? What happened?

Josefina just told me everything.

She has been finding out things

and met a lady named Primitiva.

Mariana, you and that woman

had your sons the same night

in the same place.

Yes, Primitiva. I remember that name.

They don't know where they are,

but there's evidence.

Our son is alive.

He's alive.

He was so close, I heard him cry,

but I don't know what happened.

I feel that my baby is alive.

What I say about my baby is true.

My baby is alive! Let me go!

Please, help me find my baby!

I knew it, Joaquín.

I always felt he was alive. Always.

I've dreamed about him a thousand times.

They told me he was dead.

And they told me I was crazy.

It's been 20 years

and I never looked for him.

-I never looked for him, Joaquín.

-No, no, calm down.

What's important right now

is that he is alive.

I swear on my life that I will find him.

Look. From now on,

I won't rest a single minute

until I find him.

We're going to get our son back, my love.

MONTHS LATER

To be honest,

I practically live in the country,

so, I want to sell the house.

Instead of selling it,

I would suggest that you rent it out.

I don't know, honestly, the hassle

of managing and charging rent

seems like it would take up a lot of time.

That's why we offer real estate services.

We would handle everything.

You don't worry about anything.

-Some lemonade for the heat?

-Thanks.

If you agree, Mr. Mosquera,

I'd like to put together

a financial proposal

to compare the cost-benefit

of renting the property.

That sounds very interesting.

I'd like you to come soon,

to be able to make a decision.

Okay. I won't take up more of your time.

So, we'll be in touch with you.

-Of course.

-You don't want any lemonade?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Well, excuse me.

I have more places to see. Thanks.

-I'll walk you out.

-Thanks. Excuse me.

Could it be him?

Please tell us we didn't make a mistake.

Yes, I can use these prints.

Are they from the person

we're looking for?

I still can't say. Let's check.

We'll verify it.

Your Pedro, your real estate agent,

is none other than

Anselmo Luna.

The fingerprint evidence is positive.

It belongs to Anselmo Luna.

But you should also know

that he was jailed more than three times,

and he has a warrant out due to fraud.

Yes, but he's the only man we've found

who worked with Ignacia.

Look, I know that you're anxious

to find information

that will lead you

to your son's whereabouts,

but Anselmo Luna is a very dangerous man.

Yes, I understand your concern,

but this is our only clue in months.

We can't lose this clue.

Our priority is finding our son.

Well, okay. I wish you luck,

because I can't do any more.

What about the other favor I asked you?

-Rogelio Benítez?

-Mm-hmm.

Nobody's seen him for months.

He disappeared into thin air.

Some say he could be in Ecuador,

but I have no way to verify that.

Sir.

-Thanks.

-With pleasure.

I think the man you're looking for

just walked in.

Alias Panelita.

He has a warrant out for drug trafficking.

Great. Your investigative skills

surprise me.

If that surprises you,

wait until you hear the rest.

Panelita is a member

of the "Sugar Mill Group."

They harvest, process, and export

drugs to Mexico and the USA.

-Isn't that Senator Benjumea?

-Uh-huh.

Exactly.

What's that?

Lucy. No, no, no. I said no.

What were you thinking?

Put it away. Here, put it away.

We can't get out.

This just got complicated.

You're crazy, what were you thinking?

You're something else.

I know.

Pedro, my wife and I talked about

the proposal you sent us,

and we're in agreement.

So, if you want,

tomorrow we can meet to sign the contract.

That sounds good.

Okay.

He agreed.

We need to be careful.

We can't scare him.

No, we'll get it.

And we may finally find out

something about our son.

I can't stop thinking about what he's like

and what he's doing,

and how he survived all these years.

Tomorrow's the big day.

We shouldn't get our hopes up.

Primitiva, this is the first clue

we've had in six months.

We made sure to confirm

the identity of Anselmo Luna.

He worked with Ignacia.

And is this guy trustworthy?

Well, I don't know, but

we have to try, right?

What does your heart say, Mariana?

My heart says yes.

That we're close to knowing the truth.

That Anselmo Luna can tell us

where to find our sons.

And when they're there,

when they're sitting in front of us,

how will we know who belongs to whom?

Maternal instinct, I guess.

Primitiva, we need to have faith.

It's all we have.

Let's hold on to it.

If our sons are out there,

we need to find them.

This harvest looks like

it's the best I've seen in years.

It's the first since your return.

That speaks well of your work, Graciliano.

On the contrary.

Ever since the evil left the house,

there's water,

the earth prospered again,

and the plants are healthy.

Isn't the evil named Benítez?

Mr. Graciliano!

Mr. Graciliano!

Why do you look so scared?

Mr. Graciliano,

we found something in the river.

What did you find?

You'd better see for yourself.

The current carried it over here.

"The next one will be real."

What's this?

No, drop that.

That's witchcraft.

-Please, yes, sit down.

-Thanks.

Okay.

In this contract,

you can see the value of the lease fee

and the percentage we'd charge

to manage the property.

Hmm? You only need to sign it,

and we'll start looking for tenants.

Well, I just have one objection

in terms of the percentage,

it seems a little high.

I could try lowering it by one point.

-You need to realize that

-Are you Anselmo Luna?

You're mistaken.

-Can we negotiate?

-We know who you are.

We're not here to question you

or to judge you

for the things you've done.

No, we're here about something else.

We want information about Ignacia

and the children who worked for her.

We know you were one of them.

Two Black brothers worked with her

for more than ten years.

And one of them could be our son.

I'm sorry, you've mistaken me

for someone else.

-I prefer not to do this deal

-Anselmo, listen to me.

My son was taken from me at birth,

and for 20 years I thought he was dead.

Recently, we found out he may be alive,

and you're the only one who can help us.

Listen, listen.

Someone said that he and the other boy

joined Ignacia

and they made them pretend to be brothers

for more than ten years there.

Anselmo, please, I'm begging you.

You can tell us if he's alive,

if he's here in the city.

We won't turn you in to the police.

We know they're looking for you.

Please.

Two Black brothers?

Yes, yes, yes.

Did you know them?

National Police, open up!

-You turned me in.

-No, no, no.

To the garage, the garage.

-Take him.

-Yes, come with me. Come with me.

Come this way, this way. Come.

Careful, careful.

Come, come.

-Okay. I'm coming.

-National Police, open the door.

National Police, open the door, please!

-Give me ten seconds and then open it.

-Okay.

Okay, relax.

Okay, I'm coming down the stairs.

Relax.

-Okay.

-National Police!

Okay, okay, okay.

What's going on?

We have an arrest warrant

for Anselmo Luna.

-Check everything.

-There must be some mistake.

There's no mistake.

And don't interfere,

this is a police operation.

Excuse me. Rojas, check the whole area.

It's black magic.

But who's the target of witchcraft?

The estate, and whoever lives here.

They're invoking death to frighten us.

They want to curse the land.

They come to k*ll all of us.

No. One moment.

Calm down, calm down.

I suppose we can do something, right?

We must burn the doll and the amulet.

Throw the ashes in the river,

let the water take away the bad energy.

This is a warning.

What happens when they come for us?

We'll be prepared.

We have to tell Mrs. Mariana.

She's in Cali.

I don't know when she'll return.

What about Mr. Alfredo?

Sergeant! Up here!

Did you give him away?

They offered me a large reward

for his capture.

I gave you enough time

to get all the information you needed.

Did he give it to you?

Anselmo Luna,

if you're there, open the door.

Open the door, or we'll knock it down.

I'll count to three.

-One

-Hey, what's going on?

-Excuse me, excuse me.

-But

What's going on, Joaquín?

Joaquín!

Are you okay? What happened?

Why are the police here?

-Where is he?

-He left through the garden.

We were betrayed.

The detective.

Sergeant, through the patio.

Sarita?

Mr. Alfredo!

GRANDPA, AFTER ALL THESE MONTHS,

I'VE DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE ESTATE

Sarita returns in a few days!

My granddaughter will be back

in a few days!

Mr. Alfredo, sorry to bother you!

-We have a problem

-We have to welcome her nicely.

Have Maura prepare

a very special meal for that day.

Sir, we have a problem

that needs your attention.

Talk to Mariana.

She's in charge now.

I'm dealing with very important matters.

Are you sure that's the only information

you know about him?

I understand.

Okay, look.

If you hear anything,

I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.

Please.

-What did he say?

-Nothing, just

that he only knows that Anselmo worked

for the past month in real estate

as Pedro Acuña.

And his rental address, that's all.

Well, let's follow that clue.

We have to find him before the police do.

Yes.

Ah! Hi, Joe.

I'm so sorry to bother you,

but I think you should return here

as quickly as possible.

Why? What happened?

The employees are worried

because we received a threat

against the estate.

-A threat?

-Yes.

I think there's witchcraft involved.

All the employees are scared.

Joe, I'm dealing with something

very important in Cali.

Can you handle it until I arrive?

I'll try, ma'am,

but it's important that you be here

because your dad's distracted

and we need authority.

Okay, let me see what I can do.

One more thing.

Sara wrote that she's coming back.

So, we'll wait for her here.

What happened?

Nothing, don't worry about it.

I'll tell you later,

I must go to the estate.

Okay, go and don't worry.

I'll handle the search for Anselmo.

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

I think I know who can lead me to him.

We were so close.

We still are.

Ah, damn it!

Do you need help, sir?

Graciliano, why do you always

stick your nose where it doesn't belong?

What can I bring down for you?

There should be a ring box in that drawer.

Please look and bring it down

if you find it.

Oh, that's it.

I bought it to give to Victoria

on our tenth anniversary.

Poor thing, she never even saw it.

I'll always mourn that accident.

That was no accident.

Mr. Alfredo, everyone at this estate

adored Mrs. Victoria.

Nobody would have hurt her.

Regardless, they hurt her. They hurt her.

If you don't need anything else,

I'll leave.

Graciliano!

Come back here!

I want to give this ring to Ofelia.

Do you think it would look bad

because I had bought it for her?

No, no, on the contrary.

If anyone can appreciate

what it means to you, it's Ofelia.

I just can't guarantee

that it will fit her finger.

You know, the size,

because that would be in poor taste.

Graciliano! You always rain on my parade.

My God! You just spoiled the moment!

As you wish, sir.

Graciliano, come here!

I'm leaving!

Graci

This is a major piece of evidence.

Or at least it arouses suspicion

about two guys negotiating together,

and one is within the law,

and the other isn't.

What a shame.

The drug trade will end up

condemning this country for corruption.

What are you thinking?

I think that

you don't want to discuss what happened.

I told you. The ties between the police

-I mean what happened between us.

-Ah.

Really? You're not going to say

anything about it?

Or you didn't like it?

Of course I liked it.

And not just the kiss.

I really like you.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

We work together and I don't want

to hurt our work relationship.

Oh, Tino, please. Find another excuse.

It's happened before.

Will you let Sara define

your whole life and your fears?

Because you're talking about her, right?

Maybe it seems silly to you,

but I don't want to destroy what we have.

I honestly think that what we have

could be better.

I'm not asking you to marry me.

Good.

I'm saying that our chemistry

decides how far we'll go.

And, I don't know, we'll see what happens.

Afternoon.

Dad?

What are you doing here?

-Am I interrupting?

-No.

Look, this is our workplace.

Mmm Very nice.

And what do you do here?

This is our editorial room. Improvised.

Exactly.

This is the main article for our magazine.

The Leash.

It's the magazine's name. Tentatively.

Interesting.

Politics and drug trafficking.

These are serious allegations.

Well, it's a whistleblower magazine.

If not, why practice journalism?

I love seeing you so interested

in what you like.

I'm committed to everything I love.

But, for this to see the light of day,

we need a sponsor.

Mmm I see.

Dad, please.

The problem is, right now,

the estate is not doing very well, honey.

But you said you would support me.

If your dad says he can't,

we'll find a way

I haven't said no yet.

Show me a proposal

to discuss with your mom.

Sure. She's the one with

a mind for business in this fami

We'll discuss it, young lady.

We might even form a partnership, why not?

Well, the reason for my visit

is because I must discuss

something very important with you.

Sure.

Alone.

Okay.

This is definitely witchcraft.

Yes, that just confirms

what I already suspected.

But I don't believe in any of that.

Well, you should.

Berenice, it's obvious that someone

wants to scare us, that's all.

This is definitely witchcraft.

Witchcraft is only useful

if you give it power.

Only useful if you give it power.

What's wrong, Berenice?

Ma'am, be careful.

-I just saw that

-You just saw nothing.

Nothing. I said I don't believe in that,

and that's it, okay?

Go on. Thanks, thanks.

Back to work!

Grata, everyone, back to work.

Juliet.

Please clean this up and burn it, okay?

Graciliano says we shouldn't

take this seriously,

but we won't let our guard down.

Yes, better safe than sorry.

Exactly. So, I propose that we hire guards

-who are armed.

-No, no, no.

I don't want armed people

inside the ranch.

But look at the situation we're facing.

No, no. If you want, hire guards

and find out if anyone's seen Rogelio,

but no weapons, no.

Do you think Benítez is behind this?

Well, I can't be completely sure,

but I don't think Rogelio

would leave like that,

without wanting his revenge on all of us.

Oh.

Okay, great. No weapons, then. Hmm?

And how are you feeling?

I don't understand.

About Sara's return.

Ah. No, I haven't had time

to think about that.

When did she leave? Six months ago?

If she didn't want to speak to me then,

I don't think she'll want to now.

Anyway, I want you to know

that I never told her that you're here.

Uh-huh.

Yes, yes.

Uh, I

I'm going to Excuse me.

His name is Anselmo Luna.

This man was about to con me.

Finding him is very important to me.

Anselmo Luna. Sounds familiar.

You know him?

I don't know. I'm not sure.

Well, it shouldn't be too hard for you,

since as a journalist,

you know a lot of people.

Help me find him. Or a family member.

Well, I do know a few people.

I could ask around.

The police are looking for him too.

And I'd like to find him first.

No.

Don't get the wrong idea.

No vigilante justice involved.

It's just this person

has relevant information

about a relative

I've been seeking for a long time.

Can you help me with this?

Yes. I'll ask some of my friends

on the police force.

And a few contacts, too.

I'd be grateful if you said nothing

about this to Lucy.

Don't worry.

I like it.

Your magazine idea seems quite innovative.

Look. Help me, and I promise I'll help you

make that interesting dream come true.

Are you leaving?

I'm going to hire people.

And do the rounds of the estate,

maybe run into the people threatening us.

Here.

This amulet is for protection.

I'll be fine.

Be very careful, Joe.

Is something wrong?

I don't know. I have a bad feeling.

Berenice, are we starting with this again?

I swear it, Joe.

It's like something's going to happen.

Like a tragedy, or a death.

Should I

be afraid?

I see the earth dry.

I see how this all starts to rot.

Joe.

Joe, if something happens to me,

I want you to know that

although you didn't love me

the way I wanted,

I was very happy loving you.

Very.

I can't believe Sara's coming home.

I'll do everything I can

so she doesn't leave again.

Dad, that's not up to you.

It's her decision.

We'll see.

How about you keep your promise, huh?

You promised Ofelia

that you would marry her.

I'm going to give her a ring.

-Because I want marriage.

-Oh! Congratulations!

But I don't know if this is the best time.

-Why not?

-I don't know, Dad. People are nervous.

They say there's witchcraft,

prayers against us.

Foolish talk from fools.

I'm not changing my wedding plans

because of a few voodoo dolls.

-We still need to be careful.

-Please, dear. I don't have time for this.

Don't you realize?

Hi.

-Hi.

-Where were you?

Finding out some things.

What's this?

Something personal.

Okay? I love secrets.

It's not a secret.

I'm protecting a source.

But we work together.

Shouldn't I know everything?

No.

Oh, okay. Fine.

I'll leave you,

so you can keep reading all this.

Fine.

No questions.

But how am I going to help you?

It's about a guy who was in jail.

Anselmo Luna, alias Pedro Acuña.

Con man, thief.

Oh, a real gem.

Yes. I need to find the place

where he could have been hiding

all this time.

Okay?

I love it.

Oh! Graciliano!

What are you doing here?

Uh It's not what you think, Mrs. Ofelia.

How is it not what I think?

If it's not what I think,

then what is it, Graciliano?

Uh It's nothing. I was confused

-You were confused?

-I was confused about

Graciliano, tell me.

Do you need money?

-No, no.

-Because if you do, you can tell me.

-It's not that, Mrs. Ofelia. Excuse me.

-Graciliano!

Oh my God.

Let's see. Let's see.

There's something here.

What did you find?

A place where he lived

when he was on parole.

A second cousin.

Let's see.

No, but that was a long time ago.

Yes, but it's a family member.

And if they took him in,

they probably have a close relationship.

We don't lose anything by trying.

I guess.

You're right.

Thanks.

What for?

For helping me.

It's really an excuse to be close to you.

Well, it's working.

Oh, really?

Yes.

-Alfredo.

-Yes?

I need to talk to you.

What's wrong?

I don't know how to tell you this, but

it's about Graciliano.

I just caught him going through my jewels.

What do you mean?

When I asked what he was doing,

he only told me

that it wasn't what I thought it was.

Did he say anything more?

Nothing.

Alfredo, do you think that Graciliano

has money problems

and was trying to rob me?

No, I don't think so.

And it's strange for you to suspect him.

You've always defended him.

Well, it was a very strange situation.

-I think I have an explanation.

-Really? What?

Give me your hand.

This one?

Yes. Close your eyes.

Perfect.

-Oh! Alfredo!

-Do you like it?

Oh, it's beautiful!

When Sarita returns, we can get married.

This is your engagement ring.

Oh, Alfredo!

Although, you may change your mind.

No.

Don't even think about it.

There's no escape now.

Oh, Alfredo!

And Graciliano wasn't stealing.

No? What was he doing?

He was looking for a ring

to check if they were the same size.

You asked him to do that?

Me? Never.

-No?

-But it's what I would have done.

Oh, I love it.

What did you find out?

The lady thought she saw him

go in and out a few times,

but she's not sure.

Otherwise, there's no one else

who can identify him.

If we go knock on the door

and it's not the Anselmo I think he is,

he'll be on the lookout.

You're right.

That woman looks kind of strange.

I can do it.

Dad, please don't be stubborn.

The doctor said that

walking again would take time.

Plus, you haven't done

your therapy or exercises.

Those doctors don't know anything.

I'm not getting married in a wheelchair.

-Let me help you, Mr

-Oh! Someone else who's nosy.

Why are you here?

I asked him to come

to help you try on your suit

for the ceremony.

Please, don't treat me like an invalid.

If I need you, I'll call you.

-You're incapable of asking for help, Dad.

-Get out of here, both of you.

Out, out, out!

Mariana.

Sir.

If you're thinking about inviting him,

your lover is not welcome.

No, he's not my lover. He's my partner.

And if he's not invited,

then I'm not either.

It's your decision.

But while I'm alive, this is my house.

And my personal events

are only open to family.

Excuse me.

Is everything okay?

Good.

Okay, ready.

What's up?

Nothing new.

Eyes and ears open.

-Got it, Joe.

-Let's go.

Mariana, am I too old and ugly

to marry in white?

Of course not, Ofelia!

Neither old nor ugly.

You are beautiful

and you'll be the prettiest bride

because you're so much in love.

You're not far behind yourself.

Yes, but I'm not marrying Joaquín.

I can't.

Well, not right now.

But someday, Mariana.

My dad would have a heart attack.

Yes, but I'll handle that.

You'll see that your dad will approve

of you being with the person you love.

Oh, Ofelia.

Nothing on earth

will make my dad change his mind.

Well, maybe not on earth.

Look at me.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Mrs. Mariana,

Mr. Joaquín is waiting for you outside.

Thanks, Maura.

Mariana, sooner or later,

this dress will be yours, you'll see.

Someone walked through here.

These prints lead to the river, right?

If this is where they cross over,

it will be very hard to trace them.

Please tell me that you have news

about Anselmo Luna.

Not yet.

Be patient, Mariana.

Tino told me that he's trying to find him.

He has contacts and says he'll try,

but he needs a lot more time.

I'm sick and tired of having to wait.

But if we've already waited this long,

what else can we do?

There's another sensitive matter

I need to mention.

The workers found a threat while planting.

At your estate too?

What do you mean?

They found things at La Victoria too?

Spells, witchcraft.

All my workers are nervous.

I had to double the security

around the estate perimeter.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

No, I'm not just thinking.

I'm certain it's Rogelio.

Well, my dad says they're bandits.

The Valley is becoming more violent.

There are criminals.

Joaquín, you know that it's Rogelio.

I don't know. I don't think

this is how he would do things.

Well, anyhow,

we need to be on guard, careful,

and keep our eyes wide open.

Yes, but we can't be afraid.

Do you know why?

Because we're together.

Psst.

You finally came back.

I thought you had betrayed me.

Never, sir.

Getting in and out of the estate

is complicated.

They doubled the security

and Mrs. Mariana is taking precautions.

Do they suspect me?

Not right now. They think they're bandits.

Don't trust Mariana.

I like to think she still thinks about me.

I hope if you came this far,

you have more news.

Mr. Alfredo and Mrs. Ofelia

are getting married.

They've planned a ceremony.

Oh!

Ofelia succeeded.

It would be very rude of us

not to join them that day.
