Love of My Life (2024) s01e24 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
LOVE OF MY LIFE
The Earth is fertile
as long as its people are fertile.
What better fertilizer for a good harvest
than a good heart,
like the heart of Mr. Alfredo Azcárate.
A hardworking, committed man,
and a very honest and fair one.
This part of the country
owes so much to this family.
And a lot to this estate, La Victoria.
That's why we've gathered here,
brothers and sisters,
to be thankful.
Let us pray with the prayer
that our Lord taught us.
Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Thank you, Reverend.
Thank you very much, Father Benito.
I invite everybody to make a toast.
Let's make a toast
to La Victoria estate.
Thank you so much, really.
Miss.
Thank you.
Sara.
Can we talk?
Not now, Matilde.
Tino, you've talked
about Sara for two hours.
-You're mad about her.
-Yes I'm sorry.
Mm-hmm.
I don't want to lose her.
Look, she just left for two days
to her family's ranch,
she didn't move to another planet.
Yes, I know, but I feel that
I mean, you'll never lose
something you never gained.
You haven't even told her
that you're in love with her.
Two things.
On the one hand, I have a bad feeling.
On the other hand, well, sure I'm a fool.
Now I happen to be
embarrassingly in love.
No, it's sweet.
I should focus on the research
Roberto asked me for,
since it didn't go too well
with The Turk, let's say.
Sure, I did open a door.
-I offered him my legal services.
-Oh, that's great, actually.
That means you'd have absolute trust
with the source.
-That's fantastic.
-I hope so.
The drug trafficking business
is clearly gaining more traction now.
That will be a problem for the region.
What are you going to do?
Well, right now
I'll go to La Victoria estate.
I thought we were talking about work.
Sure, I say I'm going to the estate
because I'll investigate that area.
You can also visit Sara
while you're at it.
It wouldn't be a bad idea.
I hope she likes surprises.
I went to Spain with my parents
two months ago.
-Have you been?
-No, I haven't.
Way ahead of this country.
-I want to move there when I graduate.
-Eduardo
I need a minute, okay? We'll talk.
Sara
What did you two do?
-What's wrong with you? What?
-What did you do?
You were together.
I can see it in your eyes.
Don't be cheeky. Move.
I said move!
-There's no reason why
-Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
-Thank you.
Thank you for letting me stay for Mass,
it wasn't necessary.
You didn't have to get a gift either.
How can I not show some respect
to the most important man in the region?
You know
I'm not the most important one anymore.
Sugarcane is the boss now.
I still think you're a very brave man.
I'd say I'm a man
who can only do one thing.
Cotton has written my life history,
my family history.
Call me stupid if you want,
but I won't change my business.
-Not in this lifetime, at least.
-I don't think that's a mistake.
Let me say that I admire you,
it's not easy to go against the grain.
But you're a visionary man,
I know you'll see my offer
to Benítez as an opportunity to
Benítez?
He hasn't told me anything.
Yes, we were talking
about the possibility of going beyond
the cotton business.
And getting into the textile business.
I brought seeds from the United States
that I'd like to combine with yours
And be partners?
Why not?
We could gain much more
as partners rather than competitors.
You're a very bold man.
Honey,
regardless of what Father Benito said
businessmen have no heart.
Let me talk to Benítez
and then you and I can talk.
-Sara, can we talk?
-We said enough.
Please, I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Whether I forgive you or not,
I'm still adopted,
and you think I'm not family.
I don't even think that, I swear.
Sara, you're like you're like my sister.
Mati, I was abandoned.
I didn't choose this.
You know that, right?
Yes, I know.
I'm sorry if I was stupid
and made you feel bad about that.
Sara,
I
I don't even care where you come from,
I only care that we grew up together,
so for that, forgive me.
Sara, I
I'd like to be like you.
You're smart, you're pretty,
you're cool and always smiling.
Everyone wants to be with you
and everybody admires you, like me,
because you're strong, confident
and you know what you want.
No.
The truth is I don't know what I want.
I know that I love you.
Come here.
Oh, thanks.
-Clean slate and fresh start.
-Okay.
-Oh, I almost forgot.
-What is it?
-He sends you his regards.
-Who?
Tino.
Tino?
-When?
-This morning.
He came by the house looking for you
and asking if you were okay.
It's clear he cares about you,
and he's cute.
Hello?
Um I'm sorry, sorry, it's
I don't know what I feel.
-Why, didn't you like him?
-No, yes, I like him.
I don't just like him, I also
I care about him a lot,
that's why I don't want to hurt him.
And I To be honest,
I'm horrible, you know?
That's the truth, I'm horrible,
and I'm none of those things you say.
I'm bad, selfish, I don't think about
the rest, I hurt those I love the most.
Sara, what happened?
What happened?
I was just stupid and I was wrong,
and I did something
I shouldn't have done, and
I let myself get carried away
by a passion I didn't have to feel.
I'm scared I may have made a mistake
and screwed up something worthy
for something that isn't.
That's what happened.
Oh, cousin.
-Berenice.
-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Don't be so dramatic.
One glass from a family
with millions of glasses.
They won't notice.
What's wrong with you?
Maura, I've noticed who we are to them,
to the Azcárates, to the white people.
We're worthless.
We're like a shovel, a rake,
while they own the world.
-Do you hear yourself?
-It's the truth.
Miss Sara found a new toy.
Oh
And men?
God didn't make them as smart
as they think they are.
Always flying too close to the sun.
Who are you talking about?
I won't let him ruin his life
for some white girl who doesn't know
what she wants.
Berenice, give me the full gossip.
Who are you talking about, huh?
Don't be so nosy.
-Come on, tell me.
-Stop, Maura.
Leave it, why don't you
take those glasses inside?
Thank you so much.
Mr. Stewart, right?
-My pleasure, I'm Sara Benítez.
-My pleasure.
Thank you for your kind gesture
to my grandpa.
-Oh, it was nothing.
-Excuse me.
-Miss Sara.
-Yes?
Um I'm sorry, I know I just met you,
-but I'd like to give you some advice.
-Sure.
A great romance
is the one that defines our fate.
Excuse me?
Yes,
people don't enter our lives just because.
What I want to tell you from experience
is that what starts badly ends badly.
Almost always for one of the parties.
I'm sorry, but I don't follow.
I saw you.
And next time,
your father or grandfather could see you.
And they won't understand.
So please, take care of yourself
and the young man you were with.
Years go by, but life doesn't change.
Don't worry,
your secret is safe with me.
Enjoy yourself.
Mr. Stewart.
Thank you.
See how your daughter smiles
when we're together?
It's good for the family to stay united.
Yes, I guess so.
-Want to dance?
-No, I'll pass, I don't really dance.
But I want to.
We're lucky to have each other.
Company is built.
You know what? I've always
been suspicious of lonely people.
Sometimes I wonder what a foreigner
is doing in these lands.
Perhaps running away
from something or someone?
Hold on. Benítez!
Benítez!
Come here for a moment, please.
Let me introduce you to the gentlemen,
tell them about the harvest.
-Shall we dance to this song?
-No, thanks.
Welcome.
Sara.
-You called me?
-Finally, you show up.
-I was looking for you.
-What happened?
Do you remember I felt someone
was watching us?
Well, I was right. Guess who.
-I don't know.
-That man Mr. Stewart.
What is he doing at the ranch?
Now that you mention it I have no idea.
But I don't know.
I didn't like what he told me at all.
-Why? Did he threaten you?
-No, no, it was just that
-I thought it was weird that
-Sara.
There you are.
Your parents are looking for you.
Ofe, give me a second, okay?
-I have to get going.
-Let's talk.
I said things I shouldn't have.
You always do.
I'm clumsy, what can I say?
-I think it's best if we stop talking.
-No, no.
Let's meet tonight
after everyone's asleep.
At ten.
By the big tree,
and if you think it's best
Sara, come on!
Do I have to wait for you all day?
I'm coming, Ofe, I'm coming.
If you think it's better we don't talk,
I support it.
Okay, good.
Go ask your girlfriend for permission.
Girlfriend?
I want to thank you again
for allowing me to be here.
I didn't have too many options, did I?
You're smart, not like the other ones.
What other ones?
You studied, you come prepared,
you've seen the world.
If people of my race didn't get far,
it's because people from yours
didn't allow it.
Don't fall for the trap of blaming others
because they haven't made an effort.
You made an effort,
and we're talking business here.
-Too audacious, perhaps.
-Perhaps.
But I'm very interested
in learning about the business in the US
-and about textiles.
-Whenever you want.
It was a pleasure.
-Thanks so much for coming.
-Thank you.
Mrs. Mariana.
Goodbye. Mr. Benítez.
I hope we can meet again soon.
Nice party.
Goodbye, Mr. Stewart.
He thinks we're equal.
-Dad, please.
-Shush!
I only take it
because he's from a foreign country.
But I'm not convinced.
It still doesn't make sense to me.
-I agree.
-Save your opinion.
Instead, tell me
when were you going to talk to me
about the textile business?
I was waiting for it to be certain
and then surprise you.
Since when do I like surprises?
Listen to me.
I don't trust that guy. Hmm?
It was a nice celebration,
right?
Yes, my dad was very happy.
Rogelio
And you?
You were very excited, too, right?
I don't like how he looks at you.
-Do you like how he looks at you?
-Stop.
You're drunk, aren't you?
Yes, but I'm not stupid.
I know men and I know he likes you,
that he desires you.
Rogelio, I want to rest, please.
-I'm tired, no, no.
-You're my woman.
No, Rogelio, no, no, Rogelio.
No, no!
I'm sorry, Mariana.
I'm sorry, Mariana.
-I'm sorry.
-No, no.
Mariana. Mariana!
Joe!
I made you some fish soup.
What a treat!
-But I have to go.
-No, no.
Have some and then go.
It's delicious.
Everyone's gone to sleep.
I have no energy left.
Today was intense.
-Yes.
-Filled with memories and emotions.
-Yes.
-Mm-hmm.
A lot of people who are important to you.
And you thanked all of them.
All of them but me.
What else could I do?
Stop the speech and say,
"I have a lover, it's Ofelia."
No, no, Alfredo, you and I aren't lovers.
Because you are
a widow,
and I
have been separated for many years now.
You always knew
that my marriage with George was a front.
You never asked me why I got married.
That's part of your private life.
I'll tell you why I married.
-You don't have to.
-I do.
Alfredo, I married
I married
to get closer to you.
Yes.
-To be with you.
-Ofelia.
Yes.
Yes, because
Because I knew
that if I stayed single,
you'd think that if I got close
it was for your money and the estate
But if I was married,
I wasn't a threat anymore.
No, please.
I could be close to you, love you.
Ofelia,
stop.
What we have has always been
clear.
Right?
Always.
You've always known I love you.
Yes, Alfredo, I love you.
Did you hear me? I love you.
I love you.
I love you and I'd give my life for you.
Ofelia, please, stop drinking.
In fact, I've
I've already given my life for you.
Don't you see? I've been
my whole life
fighting and competing against a ghost.
Alfredo, when will you see me?
I'm here.
I'm here, look at me, I'm here
and I love you. I'm alive and I love you!
I've always
been clear with you.
Many years ago,
I picked the woman of my life.
That's how it was
and will be.
I'm so sorry,
but that's how it is.
Alfredo.
That's not choosing love.
Don't lie to yourself.
That's
choosing death.
See you, Joe.
Thanks.
Miss Sara, sorry to interrupt you,
but there's a young man outside
looking for you.
He won't come in,
but he wants to speak with you urgently.
I'm coming, thanks, Maura.
Who could it be?
Sara.
Tino.
What are you doing here?
I had to see you.
-Right now is not a good time.
-I can't wait any longer.
Sara, I'm in love with you.
Ever since I met you.
When I saw you at the hostel
trying to turn my alarm off.
Something changed.
It was It was like my life
started all over.
-Tino, I
-I know we have obstacles.
But
Joe?
Am I interrupting?
We're having a private conversation,
we can talk later.
Talk later?
Do you know each other?
Yes, we do.
Yes, from the hostel.
And those flowers?
Is he bothering you?
No, he's not bothering me.
If you need the man to leave,
I'll see him to the bus.
This is a private conversation.
Can you leave us alone?
I only follow the lady's orders.
Do you want me to leave?
What's this game?
It's not a game.
I'm an employee
who's doing his job
of taking care of the lady.
Look, I don't need anybody
to help me or take care of me.
I'd like to know what's going on
between you, I'm lost.
Are you telling her or am I?
-Miss Sara!
-Maura, what's wrong?
-I need you, quick, come.
-What happened?
-There's a fire.
-A fire?
-Yes, come.
-What's wrong?
Where?
Joe, what's wrong?
Take me home.
-Where is it?
-The house, over there.
The water is not enough,
bring soil, sand, just put it out!
Berenice, get water!
-My God, who did this?
-Here!
-We have to put it out quickly. Soil!
-Go get more water.
Not water, just soil!
Who did this?
Who?
It was you, you old drunkard. It was you!
I'm not drunk and it wasn't me.
Stand up when you talk to me!
Get up, Graciliano!
Stand up!
My daughter has put up with you,
but I'm fed up.
-Grandpa, calm down.
-Stay out of this.
-Grandpa.
-Learn how to treat these people.
-Stand up and speak.
-Grandpa.
-Speak!
-It's not good for you, stop!
Alfredo.
Huh?
It wasn't Graciliano, it was me.
And you know exactly why.
Don't use water, just use soil.
Soil, soil, here, here.
Ofelia.
Ofelia.
-More soil, bring more soil.
-Soil, please.
Not water, Berenice.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
I'll get water.
-Where is it?
-There.
Ofelia.
Why did you burn Victoria's carriage?
You had no right to.
You'll pay for this.
Alfredo, I actually did you a favor.
Don't take it like an aggression.
A favor by erasing my memories?
Those aren't memories, Alfredo.
They're anchors keeping you
submerged in bitterness.
Alfredo, look in the mirror.
Your life is gone.
It left clenched to the memory of a woman
who died more than 40 years ago.
Destroying all my memories
won't get me to marry you.
You missed the whole point.
I didn't want to marry you.
I just wanted a place in your life,
not just in your bed.
But I don't want that now.
-You're not worth it.
-Ofelia.
Ofelia.
Ofelia!
I want you to get out of my house.
-Grandpa, please, calm down.
-I want her out of here.
-Get out!
-Grandpa, you'll get sick, calm down.
I've always been honest.
I've always said the truth,
I've been honest.
I was always straight. Your grandma knows!
Your grandma knows that I never
disrespected her in front of anyone,
that I've honored her memory.
-Grandpa
-Ofelia
Please, stop.
-It was your grandma's favorite carriage.
-I don't know what's going on with Ofelia,
but you must have done
something to offend her.
Are you blaming me?
-She burned your grandma's carriage!
-Okay!
-Her favorite carriage!
-Grandpa, please, stop!
Look, a carriage can get fixed,
but your health can't!
Stop already.
Let's go, I'll get you in bed.
That's enough, Grandpa!
Grandpa, let's go.
Mom.
Mom.
Ah Dad, Dad, wake up.
Dad!
-Get up!
-What?
The estate's burning and you're asleep!
-What's burning?
-My grandpa's carriage.
He'll have a stroke.
I don't know what to do!
Okay, okay, I'm coming.
Dad.
No, Rogelio, no, no!
Dad.
Where's your mom?
I came looking for her,
but I see you don't know.
-I'll go get her.
-No.
I'll get your mom. I have to talk to her.
Take care of your grandpa
and lower your voice, will you?
Jose.
You're one of the people I trust the most.
And?
What's so serious
that you couldn't tell me on the phone?
-Rogelio hit me.
-What?
I had seen him drunk before,
but nothing like last night, Jose.
He acted like a monster.
He got jealous because he saw me
talking to another man and
well, he threw himself at me,
but I resisted so he hit me.
I ran out and hid,
and that's when I called you.
I can't believe it.
We have to go to the police.
Women always take
the blame for everything.
-No, it's not your fault.
-I know it's not my fault.
Well, I'm guilty of one thing.
Not having kicked him out before.
I always knew things would end up badly.
But I didn't do anything, I let time pass.
And what for?
To give Sara a home, a family.
All I've done is live a lie.
This lie has to stop.
Mariana, you're young,
you can restart your life.
The Mariana I know
never needed a man to be happy.
The only man
who made me happy was your brother.
But he's gone.
You have to go on with your life.
-Jose.
-What is it, Mariana?
I met someone who reminds me of him.
Really?
I don't know, it's very strange.
When I'm with him, I feel at ease.
I feel
at peace.
I don't know,
the way I felt with your brother.
Even more of a reason
to get Benítez out of your life.
Yes, I will do it.
But I'm afraid.
But you're not alone.
Maura, do me a favor, come.
Get some tea with sugar to calm
my grandpa down and stay with him.
I'll go out, I won't be long.
Don't leave him alone.
Yes, ma'am.
One more thing,
do you know where my mom is?
No, she left early.
Thanks.
-I think we need to see a doctor.
-No.
-Why not? Have this.
-It'll go away.
Must be a bug.
Did you check the water well?
It's not the first time I've been sick
from drinking dirty water.
Joe, breathe.
Here, have some water.
Here, at least a little.
Have a little bit.
Here, man, have some.
Breathe, breathe.
Oh, Tino.
Do you remember
when Ignacia locked us up with no food?
Yes, yes, I remember.
Many times, yes.
When you drank your piss.
And nothing happened to you.
You were always the one
with a bad stomach.
This isn't dirty water,
you have a fever.
Wait here.
-I'll get help.
-Wait, wait.
What?
What's going on with Sara?
-I won't talk about that now, wait for me.
-Hey.
Are you in love?
-Huh?
-Yes.
But now we have to find out
what you have and how to cure it.
-I'll be right back.
-Don't go, come back!
Trust me, man, I'll be right back.
-How is he?
-I don't know what it is.
-He's burning up. He needs a doctor.
-We need a car.
Wait. How do you handle
an emergency here usually?
Graciliano knows a lot about healing
and the workers' wives help each other.
They'll use first aid
while the doctor comes.
It doesn't matter who, it has to be now.
Tino, wait.
Thanks for your help,
but I'll take care of it. Don't worry.
I won't leave until Joe is all right.
Thanks for your help again,
but it's not your responsibility.
Really, don't worry. Actually,
we can talk when I'm back in Cali.
I won't leave. I can't leave him because
Sara.
-What's wrong?
-You have to know.
Joe is my brother.
What?
Tino, what are you saying?
Yes, we found each other a few months ago,
but we don't get along,
that's the problem.
Why hadn't you told me before?
I told you I had a brother.
But not that it's Joe!
Do I look stupid to you both?
No, no, wait.
Up until we met at the hostel,
I had no idea that Joe worked here.
I didn't even know he knew you.
Why didn't you tell me at the hostel?
Why didn't you tell me yesterday?
Joe didn't want to
because he thought it'd affect his job.
There are things about him you don't know.
Plus, this is nothing serious.
Of course it's serious. It's serious.
Why?
Did he hurt you?
What's going on with Joe?
Looks like Joe needs us. Let's go.
Are you okay, Mrs. Ofelia?
Oh, Graciliano.
Are you leaving?
Yes, I need to go on a personal trip.
Hang on, I need to talk to you.
-But I really need to travel.
-Come.
I'll explain, I really need to
Hi, Dad.
Josefina.
My child.
Won't you give me a hug?
I thought you didn't want to see me.
Why would you say that, Dad?
I'm sorry, my child.
There's nothing to forgive, Dad.
Anyway, I I can't explain much more.
What matters is that you understand that
we have to distance ourselves sometimes.
Have some space.
Be alone.
I don't
mean to talk ill of anyone,
I don't like it,
but it's also important to realize
when we're giving our heart away
to someone who's not worth it.
Oh, Ofe, I won't defend my dad right now.
Mariana, I didn't mention your dad.
You don't need to mention him.
Who better than me
to know how you're feeling?
Look at me.
I'll support whatever decision you make.
But I need you with me now.
I'll do something
I should've done a while ago.
What's going on?
Is it about Benítez?
We argued last night
and he became a monster.
-I had never seen him like this.
-Don't tell me he hit you, Mariana.
Come, come. I have a plan.
But I need you to help me.
Come, I'll tell you.
Mr. Rogelio hit Mrs. Mariana.
Looks like Rogelio hit Mariana.
Are you sure?
She told Mrs. Ofelia right in front of me.
The lady didn't sleep at home.
Her car was gone this morning.
Something's about to happen, Ángel.
I'm sure of it.
She asked Mrs. Ofelia not to leave.
Please, keep me updated
on everything that goes on there, okay?
Thanks.
That bastard will have to pay.
-What do you want us to do?
-You, nothing.
This is personal.
I'll do what I should've done a while ago.
Mariana, Mariana.
I know you're upset.
And I want to sincerely apologize
from the bottom of my heart.
I know I was an idiot.
I don't know what happened.
Alcohol got the best of me.
Okay?
But from now on, I swear I'll never drink.
I want you to leave, Rogelio.
Okay, I understand.
-I'll go away for a bit, then we'll talk
-You didn't understand me.
I want you to leave my house.
I don't want you here.
Don't blow this out of proportion,
Mariana, please.
Yes, I made a mistake.
That's why I'm apologizing.
Don't be so cynical, Rogelio.
Mariana, please.
You and I have a family.
We have a daughter.
Sara will understand perfectly well
that her parents
don't want to be together.
-Mariana.
-She's known for a while
there's nothing between us.
Would you rather I tell her
what happened last night?
Mariana, please, how awful.
Like I said, it's not that bad.
Mariana.
Don't threaten me
because it won't work
and I'll tell you why.
I will never give you a divorce.
Do you know why?
Because you're the love of my life.
