LOVE OF MY LIFE
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 killed her.
-We killed 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 asshole. 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 bastard 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 kill him.
Then I realized that if I killed 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 war.
It's not war, 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 Negro 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 Negro.
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 racist 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.
