LOVE OF MY LIFE
SANTIAGO DE CALI
UNIVERSITY OF VALLE
-Hello.
-Hello.
Good morning.
-Professor Domínguez.
-You must be
-Alejandro Torres, dean.
-My pleasure.
I had plenty of time
to go over your résumé
and your credentials
and recommendations are incredible.
Thank you very much.
There's just one thing I don't understand.
Why did you leave Bogotá to come to Cali?
Due to a family matter.
And nostalgia.
I grew up on the streets of this city.
It's great to have a promising individual
in the institution.
But for now,
I can offer you a substitute position,
not a permanent job as a teacher.
Good, that'll work for me. Thank you.
Good. You can start tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Of course,
I like to strike the iron while it's hot.
-Well Sure.
-You're all settled in, right?
That's precisely what I'm thinking about.
Yes, I'm looking for something
not too expensive.
Professor, I won't pay you with buttons.
-Okay.
-Let me show you your classroom.
-Do you want to see it?
-Of course.
Welcome to our student's home.
Mr. Alfredo, what a pleasure to see you!
You're so pretty.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-It smells like cigarettes here.
-It's not that bad, Grandpa.
They probably have bedbugs.
I am not in favor
of my granddaughter living in this place.
And even less so,
with you turning my late aunt's house
into a shelter for people
of questionable reputation.
The people who come to live here
have excellent referrals.
-I want to see the tenant list.
-Dad!
I assume you only accept girls.
No, sir. This is not a convent.
So, even more reason
to check the list of tenants.
-Honey, let's go see your room.
-I gave her your room.
Thank you.
The list!
Do I have to share the room?
Yes, honey. With your cousin Matilde.
Matilde?
I don't get it.
Doesn't she live here in Cali?
Why would she live in a hostel?
Exactly, she wants to be independent.
Come! Come.
I was going to write you a letter,
but it's better to talk face to face.
Listen closely.
There's nothing more important
than being independent.
Having the opportunity
to make your own choices,
build your own future.
Mom, why do I have to study
if we already have the ranch?
I don't get it.
Because you can!
Because you're young, honey!
Because you have the chance
to experience many things
and you won't be stuck in the ranch
your whole life.
Even though it breaks my heart
not having you at the ranch
every day.
Honey, you have to live.
To easy and quick businesses.
-Cheers!
-Cheers.
Another bottle!
Buddy!
Joel, relax.
We'll get to the third bottle.
I'm relaxed, I'll be right back.
-Another bottle.
-I'll be happy to help you
when I'm done with Mr. Rogelio.
Is my money not valuable?
Not your money,
but your life, yes.
If I were you, I wouldn't delay these.
They're for The Turk and Mr. Rogelio.
Who are they?
The Turk is the guy who runs
the weed business in the Cauca Valley.
If you like jobs that are quick and easy
with good pay and few questions,
go talk to him.
Do you think I'm looking for a boss?
Another bottle.
Eh!
Good evening.
Sarita, Matilde!
Wake up, girls!
-What time is it?
-Seven.
Seven? No, no,
I refuse to wake up this early.
-Sarita
-No, no. Let me sleep.
So
are you ready to sign?
I have bad news for you.
Truly, I'm very sorry,
but I have a better offer.
You promised yesterday
that we'd sign the deed today.
Really, I'm very sorry.
But it's a very tempting offer.
How much more tempting?
Double.
Tell me, who's paying so much
for a ranch that's not worth that?
The buyer asked me
to keep his identity a secret.
But you'll surely meet him.
You'll be neighbors.
Can you count it?
Mati, what is that noise?
It's not here.
Can you turn that off?
I need to sleep. Where is it?
Where do you have it?
Here it is.
How do you turn this off?
Good morning.
Who are you?
I'm someone who can't sleep.
Oh, sorry!
I was getting coffee.
You should be a bit more considerate
with those of us who live here, right?
Miss,
it wasn't intentional.
I'm sorry.
Nice to meet you.
Tino Domínguez.
They don't let us sleep.
Cousin.
Don't you want to get ready?
We'll be late for school.
No, I want to sleep.
Can everybody just let me sleep?
I'm just saying that if you don't go now,
the hot water will run out.
Hot water never runs out.
It does in this house.
We're ten tenants here.
And only one bathroom.
What? We have to share the bathroom?
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Excuse me, good morning.
Mati, will you let me go before you?
No.
Please. I didn't know
we had to wait in line. It's ridiculous.
But those are the rules.
Well, the rules are absurd.
And remember that you and I
are almost relatives of the landlady.
Mm-hmm. Almost.
Will you let me pass?
No!
I'm sorry.
Hey, wait!
Sara!
What is this?
What is this?
No, things are done
Is she your relative?
Yes.
She always does what she wants.
I was following The Turk.
It looks like he keeps the weed here.
Are you planning on stealing from dealers?
If weed is selling like gold,
what do you think we're doing?
There.
If this goes well,
we'll have a whole
year of vacation guaranteed.
If we make it.
Those people are armed.
Are you afraid of that?
If we do it right,
nothing will happen, bro.
You're crazy, aren't you?
Are you leaving me alone?
This warehouse has little security.
I came last night, there was no one.
So relax.
-I'll follow that guy.
-Why?
To know where he goes,
who he talks to, Juan.
We need everything under control.
You have to make a decision right now.
Are you in or are you out?
One,
two
Come on! Open the door!
We need to use the bathroom!
What's wrong?
This is so disrespectful. Open the door!
Sara, you shouldn't have.
We'll all be late because of you.
You can complain to the owner
who decided to have a single bathroom.
It's disrespectful
to appropriate the common good.
Says the one who left the alarm
going off at seven.
-It's not the same!
-It is to me.
Look, miss.
I'll explain something
that you clearly don't know.
Water is a universal good, a right.
-Who says so?
-Our Constitution.
Sue me.
If you don't get it, it doesn't matter.
But the common good
outweighs the individual.
-Who said that?
-Thomas Aquinas.
It doesn't matter if you don't know
who he is. Many don't, in fact.
But they know about ethics and respect.
And they know that in a community
we all have the same right
to use the goods and services
in the same way.
No. Because not all of us
have the same needs.
Me, for example, I'm used to a certain
comfort that I won't give up.
You're forcing me to file
a formal complaint with the owner.
The owner? You mean my mom's friend?
Heads up, Josefina is like my aunt.
So if you want to waste your time,
go ahead.
-That's influence peddling.
-Exactly.
The sad truth
is that we are not all the same here.
And some of us
have more rights than others.
-Oh, here. Be careful.
-We'll see about that.
Close the door, thanks.
Sure, but I'm in a rush
to avoid being late for work.
How did it go with Benítez, sir?
Everything has to be ready for three.
I'll call and confirm.
It went well with the man, no?
Well, business is ever-changing.
Someone has to make a sacrifice.
I just
I don't know, sir. I'm not too convinced
about losing the cotton exports.
Did you think about that?
I haven't and I don't want to.
Or do you want to make a sacrifice?
No, no. Thanks.
Think about this. Get it into your head.
The fewer partners in a business,
the more money there is to share.
I need this to be ready
by three o'clock sharp.
Leave some of the bales exposed.
There can't be anybody here.
I need Benítez to be alone with that.
You got it, sir.
POLICE
Look at what Joel found.
This classroom is gorgeous.
Um, where shall we sit?
-Mmm, I don't
-Not so far! So we can pay attention.
What if I sit here and you sit here?
No, no.
I'll sit over here.
Okay.
Legal hermeneutics.
What does that mean?
-It can't be.
-What? Is it very hard?
I'm not talking about that, it's him.
Mati, don't look.
His face looks familiar,
but it can't be him.
-César Arboleda?
-Shh! He'll hear you.
Is it him?
Yes, Chancellor Arboleda's son.
Are you sure it's him?
Totally. My grandpa told me
that his whole family is in Cali, in fact.
They had lunch together and everything.
Hmm. Very handsome, no?
It wouldn't hurt to meet him.
Him and his friends.
We're in trouble.
Well, you are.
What happened?
Good morning.
Everybody welcome to Introduction to Law.
My name is Tino Domínguez.
Your teacher.
The guy's a cop.
Are you sure?
Yes. He went into the station
and greeted other officers.
You're not saying anything, Juan.
I waited for him.
He was wearing a uniform later.
Forget about stealing from those people.
It's a trap.
Listen to you! A trap?
What are you talking about?
I peeped in there when you left
and I heard The Turk
talking to another guy about Benítez.
-The Turk's partner?
-Mm-hmm.
They summoned him there later.
They don't want anyone there.
Think, The Turk was talking
to a policeman,
then he's talking
about having fewer partners.
Two plus two is four.
We're definitely not getting
into the warehouse.
On the contrary.
It all depends on what time we go in.
Are you crazy?
Hey, when did you become a coward?
Thanks.
I don't want to deal with them
if the cops are involved.
It's not about them, it's about me.
I saw a safe-deposit box.
We have to get in,
get the money, the drugs, and leave.
We'll be out in 15 minutes.
It won't kill you.
Cheers.
A teacher.
That's why he was all high and mighty.
He doesn't look like a professor, though.
INTRODUCTION TO LAW
Who came up with laws?
Anyone?
Romans?
Close, but no.
Laws were invented
the day man began to live in society.
We all need rules to coexist harmoniously.
But it wasn't until around 1750 BC
that King Hammurabi of Babylon came up
with the idea of putting them in writing.
INTRODUCTION TO LAW
What for?
Matilde.
So they wouldn't be forgotten.
No.
They were put in writing
so that judges
wouldn't interpret them as they pleased.
Are you really bored?
No.
I just woke up early.
Sara, right?
Mm-hmm.
Why don't you tell us
a little about what law is?
You may not have read the Constitution,
but you're here for a reason, right?
It's the set of rules and laws
that regulate our society.
Our legal system is based
on Roman law, dating back to 700 BC.
And it's divided into public law
and private law. Do I keep going?
You know quite a lot about Law
for someone who seems bored.
My mom's cousin is a lawyer
and he gave me some books to motivate me.
Looks like he succeeded.
Yes, until this morning,
when I was put in a class
about constitutional law
that I didn't sign up for.
That's when it got boring.
Well, then, so you don't get bored,
tomorrow you'll be doing
a presentation in pairs,
explaining the difference
between ethics and morals.
Remember, it's important
that you don't stick to the textbook.
Each one of you has to develop
your own judgment.
Maura, check all the clothes.
Check for anything worn out, damaged.
Rogelia tends to save every rag.
Yes, ma'am.
-And this.
-More?
Take the suitcase to the other room.
The one next to the dining room.
Yes, ma'am.
What is this?
We said that when Sara left,
we were going to have separate rooms.
But that was a long time ago.
Mariana,
I love you as much as the first day.
I'd give anything
to spend every night by your side.
And I'm very grateful
for everything you did for Sara
for this family.
A family you asked us to have. Hmm?
-You asked me to marry you.
-I know.
But after all these years,
I need space.
What is it, do you want me to leave?
Do you want a divorce?
No, we'll always be a family for Sara.
Then why don't we try it out?
Contrary to what you're saying,
I believe it's a great time
to spend more time together.
Perhaps we could organize
a trip to Europe?
Rogelio, I care about you
and appreciate you.
But I was clear from the start.
Yes, and you also said you'd try. Hmm?
Excuse me.
Rogelio,
you have a call.
Tell them I'm busy.
It's Mr. Frías, he says it's urgent.
-I can take it if you want.
-No.
Don't worry.
I'll go.
Tell me.
I need you to be here
at three o'clock.
The last shipment was paid for,
we need a new one.
I'll see you there.
-Oh, I'm sorry!
-I'm sorry, are you okay?
Yes, thanks.
-I'm sorry.
-No, I'm sorry.
Do we have a class together?
Yes, yes. I'm César. César Arboleda.
Right!
You're Chancellor Arboleda's son, right?
-The chancellor's son.
-What are you doing in Cali?
Some of my dad's business is here,
so we came for a year.
Okay. Sure. Well,
if you need a guide to explore the city,
I'm available for anything you want.
They actually invited me tonight
to a bar that's around the corner here.
Sure, that's a classic bar in Cali.
You must go there.
Would you like to come?
Are you inviting me?
Sure. I'll be with some friends
and I'd like you to come.
Sure, why not?
So I'll see you tonight?
I'll see you tonight.
Bye.
To loyalty,
which is worthless.
Oh, Viche. Never trust the promise
or the word of a woman.
-Even if you love her.
-Mm-hmm.
To love.
The worst of our weaknesses.
The only one in my case.
Twenty years.
I gave away 20 years of my life, Viche,
and I'm still at square one.
Although I knew it.
I knew she'd never stop loving that
bastard.
NEW ORLEANS, USA
Okay.
May you never rest in peace
in your grave, Joaquín.
It's getting pretty hot, right?
I will never give up. Never.
I don't care
if they treat me like a bastard.
I don't care if they try to humiliate me
because I'm not blue-blooded.
Oh!
Sooner or later,
they'll all end up on their knees.
All of them.
Especially Mariana.
Mr. Rogelio, you asked me
to let you know when it's two.
Hmm?
Sure.
I'm leaving, Viche, because I have
important business to tend to.
Put it on my tab.
Before I go,
I'll give you a piece of advice.
Never give up on your dreams, Viche.
Never.
It doesn't matter if you have to step over
everyone else to achieve them.
It doesn't matter.
Really, it doesn't.
CAUCA VALLEY DISTRICT PRISON
They said they set him free a month ago,
but I want to know if he left a name,
address, phone number, anything.
It's the only information
we have about Mr. Joe.
Is there a colleague or friend
in this penitentiary
who may have that information?
If you want,
I can go asking around the whole prison.
No, man. He's my brother, you know.
We were separated a while back
and I want to help him, please.
Let's go.
VISITING ROOM
Wait, wait.
I'll tell you the truth.
The thing is
that criminal has something that's mine.
And he can't get away.
Juan Heredia.
They call him Little John.
They left the same day.
With that Joe.
Close friends, huh?
I saw them leave together.
Where can I find him?
You're quite skeptical.
That's it.
A sabbatical.
Get out, get out.
Don't move!
No!
Come down!
Careful!
Get down here.
Who do you work for?
Who sent you?
Nobody, nobody.
We work alone.
Get your bag.
Put back that money
and the cash in your hand. It's not yours.
Put the money down.
Slowly.
The Turk summoned you at three, right?
How do you know?
The police will be here then.
I pay the police enough
to keep them away from here.
What time is it?
Stop asking about the time.
The Turk was here with a cop
while the bales were delivered.
They set a trap for you.
I can tell you how to get out.
Let's go! Let's go!
Obviously, Mr. Benítez came here
to threaten me and destroy me
if I didn't give him my identity.
But I'm a man of my word,
so I didn't tell him.
Frankly, I never really liked
Azcárate and his son-in-law.
Sir,
I don't know what your plan is,
but besides being a good offer,
I'm glad that Azcárate
is not keeping my ranch.
I'm also glad
that Mr. Benítez didn't buy your land.
Thank you very much.
-Take care.
-Excuse me.
All right, gentlemen!
You know what the plan is.
Search everywhere, let's go!
How much money
must he have paid that sergeant?
I think they want to turn someone in
to calm the police down.
It won't be me.
-Get me out of here!
-If you give me half.
Look, jerk, we'll both get caught,
so get me out of here
and you'll have a job with me.
Go!
Was it worth it?
Joaquín, I want to know if
truly
If all these years were worth living to
fulfill your revenge.
I've always been honest with you, Carla.
-You've known my plan since I got back.
-Yes.
You were honest.
You told me you needed to get money
to seek justice in your country.
But you didn't tell me
you were sacrificing our family.
You won't lack anything, Carla, my God.
I've worked hard all these years
to become Mr. Smalling's partner.
I'll send you money each month
so that you can have a good
I'm not talking about money, Joaquín!
Money doesn't matter,
this is not about money.
I want my husband back.
Where is the man I fell in love with?
I'm sorry if I'm not the same,
but they took everything from me.
What about us?
They have to pay for everything
they did to my family.
I hate them too.
I hate them for taking away my husband.
I'm not thinking about vengeance, Joaquín.
I want I want to get you back.
I love you.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but
I'm really sorry, but I can't forget
everything they did to us.
Forgive me.
Okay.
So
go and tell your daughter,
tell Lucy
that you're abandoning her.
How can you say something like that?
Lucy is my life! I'm not abandoning you!
So where is your return ticket? Show me.
I want to see it.
Go and tell Lucy
that you're coming back.
Then, be a man and fulfill your promise.
Gentlemen, let's go!
Down to the main deposit,
I don't have all day. Let's go!
Hello, hello!
They told me
you were looking for me, Sergeant.
I think what you're unloading
from the trunk belongs to me.
Listen, Rogelio.
It's nothing personal.
Business is business.
It's personal to me.
Get in, we have to talk.
I'm sorry, but I'm busy.
Well, if you're so busy,
I'll get out and speak to the chief.
I have pretty interesting info
about you and The Turk.
Want to bet?
Who will they believe?
A simple sergeant
or Alfredo Azcárate's son-in-law?
Hmm?
That's right.
Officer!
Quick, take the evidence inside, come on!
You always found an excuse not to take me.
I'm 20 years old, Dad.
I have to go
and solve some family issues first.
What issues?
Things that happened there
a long time ago.
I promise that as soon as I fix all this,
I'll come for you
and show you where I lived,
where I was born and raised.
When will that be?
I don't know.
-Tell me how long it'll be.
-Really, I don't know.
All I ask of you is to have some patience.
I'll try for it to be
as soon as possible, okay?
Carla.
I love you both.
It'll be a long time
before we see him again, right?
What did The Turk offer you? Huh?
It's not
just a matter of money.
There's also the institution's image.
We have to demonstrate
that we have the thieves under control.
So I was the trophy?
Exactly.
Rogelio, take this opportunity
to get out of the business.
You're family with Mr. Azcárate
and nobody will touch you.
But if you don't leave,
The Turk will keep doing the same thing.
I need the money from this business.
Sure. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Like I said, it's not personal,
but if I have to put you in jail, I will.
Do you know The Turk's clients in the USA?
I know one, but I don't think
he'd do business with you.
Listen to what I have to say
before saying no to everything. Hmm?
Think about it.
You just said it,
I'm Alfredo Azcárate's relative.
Meaning, your chief would consider
my recommendation for your promotion.
That's right.
In exchange for what?
Nothing too fancy.
Just do your job.
Hmm?
Hand over the important narco
that will help the institution's image.
You know who I'm talking about.
Get in.
Let's begin our work
on the institution's image.
Are you surprised?
That I'm not in jail
or that I had the balls to come see you?
I want you to know
that it's not personal, dear friend.
That's just business.
Every now and then we have to oil
the machine and change the pieces.
We have to make sacrifices.
I've heard "it's not personal"
somewhere else.
Well, since it's just business,
let's put your betrayal behind us
and renegotiate.
Renegotiate?
Sixty percent for me, forty for you.
Renegotiate.
I'll respect your life
if you leave here immediately.
Seventy for me, thirty for you.
You're not the only one with balls
at this table, Turk.
I hope you still have them
out there on the street.
Because here,
the only ones who get
their hands dirty are us.
Status is all you have.
You mingle with the blue-bloods.
But I'm the one who deals
with the shit here.
You're easy prey, dear friend.
Let's search those guys, officers.
All right, sir.
-Turn the car off and step out, please.
-What's wrong, Sergeant?
-Get out.
-What's the issue?
Get out, I said.
-What's going on, man?
-Open the trunk.
Hey!
-You went all out.
-This isn't mine.
It isn't? Ooh!
Bingo!
This is seized as evidence.
Benítez did this, didn't he?
We can fix this some other way.
Fix how?
Mr. Frías, respect the authorities.
You're arrested
for the crime of drug trafficking.
Officers, go ahead.
Handcuff him.
Who are you looking for?
Juan Heredia.
Oh! My boy was killed!
He was killed!
A little extra for saving my skin.
Wait.
This could be the beginning
of a partnership, no?
No.
I'm done with partnerships.
You didn't understand.
You left me without my partner.
And I'm looking for a steady job.
Do you understand?
I proved I'm a good worker.
And you need someone to look after
the business. What do you say?
I'll see you here first thing tomorrow.
I may have something for you.
A laborer told me
he saw a moving truck leave El Búcaro.
Maura, please.
I drove past it
and there was no one.
Not even the horses.
No, no. Mr. Israel would've told me.
-Have you heard anything, Rogelio?
-No.
Get up early tomorrow and find out.
What for?
Come on!
To find out if Mr. Israel sold it.
And if there are new neighbors,
to see who they are.
What they're plans are, what they'll do.
Anyone who buys land in this area
will plant sugarcane.
Oh! Are you a fortune teller now?
You don't have to be one
to know that we sell less every year
and that sugarcane
will be a better business.
Well, in that case,
I'll have to fire you for incompetence.
The problem is that I don't make
the decisions.
So the incompetence
comes from somewhere else.
Allowing you to sit at my table
doesn't mean you're part of the family.
Much less that
you can speak to me like that.
-You've told me that many times.
-Rogelio!
What?
Enough.
Enough what?
Stop drinking, you're ridiculous.
Now you're going to forbid me
from drinking?
She kicked me out of my room this morning.
Now I can't drink wine.
What's next? Will you forbid me
from talking to my daughter?
-Enough.
-Alfredo, let me remind you
that we are family.
I married your daughter.
And mind you,
it was her who proposed marriage.
-She practically begged me.
-I don't have to put up with this.
Excuse me.
You're out of line.

LOVE OF MY LIFE
SANTIAGO DE CALI
UNIVERSITY OF VALLE
-Hello.
-Hello.
Good morning.
-Professor Domínguez.
-You must be
-Alejandro Torres, dean.
-My pleasure.
I had plenty of time
to go over your résumé
and your credentials
and recommendations are incredible.
Thank you very much.
There's just one thing I don't understand.
Why did you leave Bogotá to come to Cali?
Due to a family matter.
And nostalgia.
I grew up on the streets of this city.
It's great to have a promising individual
in the institution.
But for now,
I can offer you a substitute position,
not a permanent job as a teacher.
Good, that'll work for me. Thank you.
Good. You can start tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Of course,
I like to strike the iron while it's hot.
-Well Sure.
-You're all settled in, right?
That's precisely what I'm thinking about.
Yes, I'm looking for something
not too expensive.
Professor, I won't pay you with buttons.
-Okay.
-Let me show you your classroom.
-Do you want to see it?
-Of course.
Welcome to our student's home.
Mr. Alfredo, what a pleasure to see you!
You're so pretty.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-It smells like cigarettes here.
-It's not that bad, Grandpa.
They probably have bedbugs.
I am not in favor
of my granddaughter living in this place.
And even less so,
with you turning my late aunt's house
into a shelter for people
of questionable reputation.
The people who come to live here
have excellent referrals.
-I want to see the tenant list.
-Dad!
I assume you only accept girls.
No, sir. This is not a convent.
So, even more reason
to check the list of tenants.
-Honey, let's go see your room.
-I gave her your room.
Thank you.
The list!
Do I have to share the room?
Yes, honey. With your cousin Matilde.
Matilde?
I don't get it.
Doesn't she live here in Cali?
Why would she live in a hostel?
Exactly, she wants to be independent.
Come! Come.
I was going to write you a letter,
but it's better to talk face to face.
Listen closely.
There's nothing more important
than being independent.
Having the opportunity
to make your own choices,
build your own future.
Mom, why do I have to study
if we already have the ranch?
I don't get it.
Because you can!
Because you're young, honey!
Because you have the chance
to experience many things
and you won't be stuck in the ranch
your whole life.
Even though it breaks my heart
not having you at the ranch
every day.
Honey, you have to live.
To easy and quick businesses.
-Cheers!
-Cheers.
Another bottle!
Buddy!
Joel, relax.
We'll get to the third bottle.
I'm relaxed, I'll be right back.
-Another bottle.
-I'll be happy to help you
when I'm done with Mr. Rogelio.
Is my money not valuable?
Not your money,
but your life, yes.
If I were you, I wouldn't delay these.
They're for The Turk and Mr. Rogelio.
Who are they?
The Turk is the guy who runs
the weed business in the Cauca Valley.
If you like jobs that are quick and easy
with good pay and few questions,
go talk to him.
Do you think I'm looking for a boss?
Another bottle.
Eh!
Good evening.
Sarita, Matilde!
Wake up, girls!
-What time is it?
-Seven.
Seven? No, no,
I refuse to wake up this early.
-Sarita
-No, no. Let me sleep.
So
are you ready to sign?
I have bad news for you.
Truly, I'm very sorry,
but I have a better offer.
You promised yesterday
that we'd sign the deed today.
Really, I'm very sorry.
But it's a very tempting offer.
How much more tempting?
Double.
Tell me, who's paying so much
for a ranch that's not worth that?
The buyer asked me
to keep his identity a secret.
But you'll surely meet him.
You'll be neighbors.
Can you count it?
Mati, what is that noise?
It's not here.
Can you turn that off?
I need to sleep. Where is it?
Where do you have it?
Here it is.
How do you turn this off?
Good morning.
Who are you?
I'm someone who can't sleep.
Oh, sorry!
I was getting coffee.
You should be a bit more considerate
with those of us who live here, right?
Miss,
it wasn't intentional.
I'm sorry.
Nice to meet you.
Tino Domínguez.
They don't let us sleep.
Cousin.
Don't you want to get ready?
We'll be late for school.
No, I want to sleep.
Can everybody just let me sleep?
I'm just saying that if you don't go now,
the hot water will run out.
Hot water never runs out.
It does in this house.
We're ten tenants here.
And only one bathroom.
What? We have to share the bathroom?
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Excuse me, good morning.
Mati, will you let me go before you?
No.
Please. I didn't know
we had to wait in line. It's ridiculous.
But those are the rules.
Well, the rules are absurd.
And remember that you and I
are almost relatives of the landlady.
Mm-hmm. Almost.
Will you let me pass?
No!
I'm sorry.
Hey, wait!
Sara!
What is this?
What is this?
No, things are done
Is she your relative?
Yes.
She always does what she wants.
I was following The Turk.
It looks like he keeps the weed here.
Are you planning on stealing from dealers?
If weed is selling like gold,
what do you think we're doing?
There.
If this goes well,
we'll have a whole
year of vacation guaranteed.
If we make it.
Those people are armed.
Are you afraid of that?
If we do it right,
nothing will happen, bro.
You're crazy, aren't you?
Are you leaving me alone?
This warehouse has little security.
I came last night, there was no one.
So relax.
-I'll follow that guy.
-Why?
To know where he goes,
who he talks to, Juan.
We need everything under control.
You have to make a decision right now.
Are you in or are you out?
One,
two
Come on! Open the door!
We need to use the bathroom!
What's wrong?
This is so disrespectful. Open the door!
Sara, you shouldn't have.
We'll all be late because of you.
You can complain to the owner
who decided to have a single bathroom.
It's disrespectful
to appropriate the common good.
Says the one who left the alarm
going off at seven.
-It's not the same!
-It is to me.
Look, miss.
I'll explain something
that you clearly don't know.
Water is a universal good, a right.
-Who says so?
-Our Constitution.
Sue me.
If you don't get it, it doesn't matter.
But the common good
outweighs the individual.
-Who said that?
-Thomas Aquinas.
It doesn't matter if you don't know
who he is. Many don't, in fact.
But they know about ethics and respect.
And they know that in a community
we all have the same right
to use the goods and services
in the same way.
No. Because not all of us
have the same needs.
Me, for example, I'm used to a certain
comfort that I won't give up.
You're forcing me to file
a formal complaint with the owner.
The owner? You mean my mom's friend?
Heads up, Josefina is like my aunt.
So if you want to waste your time,
go ahead.
-That's influence peddling.
-Exactly.
The sad truth
is that we are not all the same here.
And some of us
have more rights than others.
-Oh, here. Be careful.
-We'll see about that.
Close the door, thanks.
Sure, but I'm in a rush
to avoid being late for work.
How did it go with Benítez, sir?
Everything has to be ready for three.
I'll call and confirm.
It went well with the man, no?
Well, business is ever-changing.
Someone has to make a sacrifice.
I just
I don't know, sir. I'm not too convinced
about losing the cotton exports.
Did you think about that?
I haven't and I don't want to.
Or do you want to make a sacrifice?
No, no. Thanks.
Think about this. Get it into your head.
The fewer partners in a business,
the more money there is to share.
I need this to be ready
by three o'clock sharp.
Leave some of the bales exposed.
There can't be anybody here.
I need Benítez to be alone with that.
You got it, sir.
POLICE
Look at what Joel found.
This classroom is gorgeous.
Um, where shall we sit?
-Mmm, I don't
-Not so far! So we can pay attention.
What if I sit here and you sit here?
No, no.
I'll sit over here.
Okay.
Legal hermeneutics.
What does that mean?
-It can't be.
-What? Is it very hard?
I'm not talking about that, it's him.
Mati, don't look.
His face looks familiar,
but it can't be him.
-César Arboleda?
-Shh! He'll hear you.
Is it him?
Yes, Chancellor Arboleda's son.
Are you sure it's him?
Totally. My grandpa told me
that his whole family is in Cali, in fact.
They had lunch together and everything.
Hmm. Very handsome, no?
It wouldn't hurt to meet him.
Him and his friends.
We're in trouble.
Well, you are.
What happened?
Good morning.
Everybody welcome to Introduction to Law.
My name is Tino Domínguez.
Your teacher.
The guy's a cop.
Are you sure?
Yes. He went into the station
and greeted other officers.
You're not saying anything, Juan.
I waited for him.
He was wearing a uniform later.
Forget about stealing from those people.
It's a trap.
Listen to you! A trap?
What are you talking about?
I peeped in there when you left
and I heard The Turk
talking to another guy about Benítez.
-The Turk's partner?
-Mm-hmm.
They summoned him there later.
They don't want anyone there.
Think, The Turk was talking
to a policeman,
then he's talking
about having fewer partners.
Two plus two is four.
We're definitely not getting
into the warehouse.
On the contrary.
It all depends on what time we go in.
Are you crazy?
Hey, when did you become a coward?
Thanks.
I don't want to deal with them
if the cops are involved.
It's not about them, it's about me.
I saw a safe-deposit box.
We have to get in,
get the money, the drugs, and leave.
We'll be out in 15 minutes.
It won't kill you.
Cheers.
A teacher.
That's why he was all high and mighty.
He doesn't look like a professor, though.
INTRODUCTION TO LAW
Who came up with laws?
Anyone?
Romans?
Close, but no.
Laws were invented
the day man began to live in society.
We all need rules to coexist harmoniously.
But it wasn't until around 1750 BC
that King Hammurabi of Babylon came up
with the idea of putting them in writing.
INTRODUCTION TO LAW
What for?
Matilde.
So they wouldn't be forgotten.
No.
They were put in writing
so that judges
wouldn't interpret them as they pleased.
Are you really bored?
No.
I just woke up early.
Sara, right?
Mm-hmm.
Why don't you tell us
a little about what law is?
You may not have read the Constitution,
but you're here for a reason, right?
It's the set of rules and laws
that regulate our society.
Our legal system is based
on Roman law, dating back to 700 BC.
And it's divided into public law
and private law. Do I keep going?
You know quite a lot about Law
for someone who seems bored.
My mom's cousin is a lawyer
and he gave me some books to motivate me.
Looks like he succeeded.
Yes, until this morning,
when I was put in a class
about constitutional law
that I didn't sign up for.
That's when it got boring.
Well, then, so you don't get bored,
tomorrow you'll be doing
a presentation in pairs,
explaining the difference
between ethics and morals.
Remember, it's important
that you don't stick to the textbook.
Each one of you has to develop
your own judgment.
Maura, check all the clothes.
Check for anything worn out, damaged.
Rogelia tends to save every rag.
Yes, ma'am.
-And this.
-More?
Take the suitcase to the other room.
The one next to the dining room.
Yes, ma'am.
What is this?
We said that when Sara left,
we were going to have separate rooms.
But that was a long time ago.
Mariana,
I love you as much as the first day.
I'd give anything
to spend every night by your side.
And I'm very grateful
for everything you did for Sara
for this family.
A family you asked us to have. Hmm?
-You asked me to marry you.
-I know.
But after all these years,
I need space.
What is it, do you want me to leave?
Do you want a divorce?
No, we'll always be a family for Sara.
Then why don't we try it out?
Contrary to what you're saying,
I believe it's a great time
to spend more time together.
Perhaps we could organize
a trip to Europe?
Rogelio, I care about you
and appreciate you.
But I was clear from the start.
Yes, and you also said you'd try. Hmm?
Excuse me.
Rogelio,
you have a call.
Tell them I'm busy.
It's Mr. Frías, he says it's urgent.
-I can take it if you want.
-No.
Don't worry.
I'll go.
Tell me.
I need you to be here
at three o'clock.
The last shipment was paid for,
we need a new one.
I'll see you there.
-Oh, I'm sorry!
-I'm sorry, are you okay?
Yes, thanks.
-I'm sorry.
-No, I'm sorry.
Do we have a class together?
Yes, yes. I'm César. César Arboleda.
Right!
You're Chancellor Arboleda's son, right?
-The chancellor's son.
-What are you doing in Cali?
Some of my dad's business is here,
so we came for a year.
Okay. Sure. Well,
if you need a guide to explore the city,
I'm available for anything you want.
They actually invited me tonight
to a bar that's around the corner here.
Sure, that's a classic bar in Cali.
You must go there.
Would you like to come?
Are you inviting me?
Sure. I'll be with some friends
and I'd like you to come.
Sure, why not?
So I'll see you tonight?
I'll see you tonight.
Bye.
To loyalty,
which is worthless.
Oh, Viche. Never trust the promise
or the word of a woman.
-Even if you love her.
-Mm-hmm.
To love.
The worst of our weaknesses.
The only one in my case.
Twenty years.
I gave away 20 years of my life, Viche,
and I'm still at square one.
Although I knew it.
I knew she'd never stop loving that
bastard.
NEW ORLEANS, USA
Okay.
May you never rest in peace
in your grave, Joaquín.
It's getting pretty hot, right?
I will never give up. Never.
I don't care
if they treat me like a bastard.
I don't care if they try to humiliate me
because I'm not blue-blooded.
Oh!
Sooner or later,
they'll all end up on their knees.
All of them.
Especially Mariana.
Mr. Rogelio, you asked me
to let you know when it's two.
Hmm?
Sure.
I'm leaving, Viche, because I have
important business to tend to.
Put it on my tab.
Before I go,
I'll give you a piece of advice.
Never give up on your dreams, Viche.
Never.
It doesn't matter if you have to step over
everyone else to achieve them.
It doesn't matter.
Really, it doesn't.
CAUCA VALLEY DISTRICT PRISON
They said they set him free a month ago,
but I want to know if he left a name,
address, phone number, anything.
It's the only information
we have about Mr. Joe.
Is there a colleague or friend
in this penitentiary
who may have that information?
If you want,
I can go asking around the whole prison.
No, man. He's my brother, you know.
We were separated a while back
and I want to help him, please.
Let's go.
VISITING ROOM
Wait, wait.
I'll tell you the truth.
The thing is
that criminal has something that's mine.
And he can't get away.
Juan Heredia.
They call him Little John.
They left the same day.
With that Joe.
Close friends, huh?
I saw them leave together.
Where can I find him?
You're quite skeptical.
That's it.
A sabbatical.
Get out, get out.
Don't move!
No!
Come down!
Careful!
Get down here.
Who do you work for?
Who sent you?
Nobody, nobody.
We work alone.
Get your bag.
Put back that money
and the cash in your hand. It's not yours.
Put the money down.
Slowly.
The Turk summoned you at three, right?
How do you know?
The police will be here then.
I pay the police enough
to keep them away from here.
What time is it?
Stop asking about the time.
The Turk was here with a cop
while the bales were delivered.
They set a trap for you.
I can tell you how to get out.
Let's go! Let's go!
Obviously, Mr. Benítez came here
to threaten me and destroy me
if I didn't give him my identity.
But I'm a man of my word,
so I didn't tell him.
Frankly, I never really liked
Azcárate and his son-in-law.
Sir,
I don't know what your plan is,
but besides being a good offer,
I'm glad that Azcárate
is not keeping my ranch.
I'm also glad
that Mr. Benítez didn't buy your land.
Thank you very much.
-Take care.
-Excuse me.
All right, gentlemen!
You know what the plan is.
Search everywhere, let's go!
How much money
must he have paid that sergeant?
I think they want to turn someone in
to calm the police down.
It won't be me.
-Get me out of here!
-If you give me half.
Look, jerk, we'll both get caught,
so get me out of here
and you'll have a job with me.
Go!
Was it worth it?
Joaquín, I want to know if
truly
If all these years were worth living to
fulfill your revenge.
I've always been honest with you, Carla.
-You've known my plan since I got back.
-Yes.
You were honest.
You told me you needed to get money
to seek justice in your country.
But you didn't tell me
you were sacrificing our family.
You won't lack anything, Carla, my God.
I've worked hard all these years
to become Mr. Smalling's partner.
I'll send you money each month
so that you can have a good
I'm not talking about money, Joaquín!
Money doesn't matter,
this is not about money.
I want my husband back.
Where is the man I fell in love with?
I'm sorry if I'm not the same,
but they took everything from me.
What about us?
They have to pay for everything
they did to my family.
I hate them too.
I hate them for taking away my husband.
I'm not thinking about vengeance, Joaquín.
I want I want to get you back.
I love you.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but
I'm really sorry, but I can't forget
everything they did to us.
Forgive me.
Okay.
So
go and tell your daughter,
tell Lucy
that you're abandoning her.
How can you say something like that?
Lucy is my life! I'm not abandoning you!
So where is your return ticket? Show me.
I want to see it.
Go and tell Lucy
that you're coming back.
Then, be a man and fulfill your promise.
Gentlemen, let's go!
Down to the main deposit,
I don't have all day. Let's go!
Hello, hello!
They told me
you were looking for me, Sergeant.
I think what you're unloading
from the trunk belongs to me.
Listen, Rogelio.
It's nothing personal.
Business is business.
It's personal to me.
Get in, we have to talk.
I'm sorry, but I'm busy.
Well, if you're so busy,
I'll get out and speak to the chief.
I have pretty interesting info
about you and The Turk.
Want to bet?
Who will they believe?
A simple sergeant
or Alfredo Azcárate's son-in-law?
Hmm?
That's right.
Officer!
Quick, take the evidence inside, come on!
You always found an excuse not to take me.
I'm 20 years old, Dad.
I have to go
and solve some family issues first.
What issues?
Things that happened there
a long time ago.
I promise that as soon as I fix all this,
I'll come for you
and show you where I lived,
where I was born and raised.
When will that be?
I don't know.
-Tell me how long it'll be.
-Really, I don't know.
All I ask of you is to have some patience.
I'll try for it to be
as soon as possible, okay?
Carla.
I love you both.
It'll be a long time
before we see him again, right?
What did The Turk offer you? Huh?
It's not
just a matter of money.
There's also the institution's image.
We have to demonstrate
that we have the thieves under control.
So I was the trophy?
Exactly.
Rogelio, take this opportunity
to get out of the business.
You're family with Mr. Azcárate
and nobody will touch you.
But if you don't leave,
The Turk will keep doing the same thing.
I need the money from this business.
Sure. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Like I said, it's not personal,
but if I have to put you in jail, I will.
Do you know The Turk's clients in the USA?
I know one, but I don't think
he'd do business with you.
Listen to what I have to say
before saying no to everything. Hmm?
Think about it.
You just said it,
I'm Alfredo Azcárate's relative.
Meaning, your chief would consider
my recommendation for your promotion.
That's right.
In exchange for what?
Nothing too fancy.
Just do your job.
Hmm?
Hand over the important narco
that will help the institution's image.
You know who I'm talking about.
Get in.
Let's begin our work
on the institution's image.
Are you surprised?
That I'm not in jail
or that I had the balls to come see you?
I want you to know
that it's not personal, dear friend.
That's just business.
Every now and then we have to oil
the machine and change the pieces.
We have to make sacrifices.
I've heard "it's not personal"
somewhere else.
Well, since it's just business,
let's put your betrayal behind us
and renegotiate.
Renegotiate?
Sixty percent for me, forty for you.
Renegotiate.
I'll respect your life
if you leave here immediately.
Seventy for me, thirty for you.
You're not the only one with balls
at this table, Turk.
I hope you still have them
out there on the street.
Because here,
the only ones who get
their hands dirty are us.
Status is all you have.
You mingle with the blue-bloods.
But I'm the one who deals
with the shit here.
You're easy prey, dear friend.
Let's search those guys, officers.
All right, sir.
-Turn the car off and step out, please.
-What's wrong, Sergeant?
-Get out.
-What's the issue?
Get out, I said.
-What's going on, man?
-Open the trunk.
Hey!
-You went all out.
-This isn't mine.
It isn't? Ooh!
Bingo!
This is seized as evidence.
Benítez did this, didn't he?
We can fix this some other way.
Fix how?
Mr. Frías, respect the authorities.
You're arrested
for the crime of drug trafficking.
Officers, go ahead.
Handcuff him.
Who are you looking for?
Juan Heredia.
Oh! My boy was killed!
He was killed!
A little extra for saving my skin.
Wait.
This could be the beginning
of a partnership, no?
No.
I'm done with partnerships.
You didn't understand.
You left me without my partner.
And I'm looking for a steady job.
Do you understand?
I proved I'm a good worker.
And you need someone to look after
the business. What do you say?
I'll see you here first thing tomorrow.
I may have something for you.
A laborer told me
he saw a moving truck leave El Búcaro.
Maura, please.
I drove past it
and there was no one.
Not even the horses.
No, no. Mr. Israel would've told me.
-Have you heard anything, Rogelio?
-No.
Get up early tomorrow and find out.
What for?
Come on!
To find out if Mr. Israel sold it.
And if there are new neighbors,
to see who they are.
What they're plans are, what they'll do.
Anyone who buys land in this area
will plant sugarcane.
Oh! Are you a fortune teller now?
You don't have to be one
to know that we sell less every year
and that sugarcane
will be a better business.
Well, in that case,
I'll have to fire you for incompetence.
The problem is that I don't make
the decisions.
So the incompetence
comes from somewhere else.
Allowing you to sit at my table
doesn't mean you're part of the family.
Much less that
you can speak to me like that.
-You've told me that many times.
-Rogelio!
What?
Enough.
Enough what?
Stop drinking, you're ridiculous.
Now you're going to forbid me
from drinking?
She kicked me out of my room this morning.
Now I can't drink wine.
What's next? Will you forbid me
from talking to my daughter?
-Enough.
-Alfredo, let me remind you
that we are family.
I married your daughter.
And mind you,
it was her who proposed marriage.
-She practically begged me.
-I don't have to put up with this.
Excuse me.
You're out of line.
