A NETFLIX SERIES
LOVE OF MY LIFE
He's been there for two hours or more.
He might have a lot to say.
What if it's not enough?
He's a major witness, Carla.
He saw everything.
Well, it's his word against Benítez's.
I want to believe it's enough, you know?
Please, stop doubting so much.
-See you in eight days.
-Yes, Your Honor.
-How did it go?
-What did they say?
He heard me out and took note. And
he also called the police.
Yes, Alfredo is getting worse by the day.
And that's convenient
for what we're doing.
Are the accounts abroad ready?
Sir, this way.
We'll talk later.
Sir, the police are looking for you.
Rogelio Benítez,
you need to come with us to the station,
there's a complaint against you.
In an escape,
it's always a gamble, all or nothing.
-How much are you willing to risk?
-Everything.
Everything for freedom.
Do you recognize this?
Yes.
Do you have a good memory?
For what's important.
Okay, memorize that thing.
No more talking, okay?
Officer.
This land has offered great crops,
heroes, and very good people.
But also vengeance, hate,
gossip, stories, legends.
If people here believe
in the devil Juanchito,
are you telling me
they won't believe a criminal's lies?
Aguilar is lying.
Aguilar insists that you shot
Joaquín Mosquera.
Yes, true.
Aguilar is forgetting a small detail,
that it was in self-defense.
Mr. Rogelio, we're aware
that you're a very respected man
in the region, a businessman.
But you've been involved
in many accusations lately.
All this began precisely
upon Joaquín Mosquera's arrival.
He returned as an impostor,
pretending to be someone else
and deceiving everyone.
Officer,
don't you think that's pretty suspicious?
Aguilar insists you offered him money.
Aguilar will say anything.
Because Aguilar is an accomplice.
He's friends with Joaquín Mosquera.
Do you know why?
Because Aguilar
let him escape 20 years ago.
Think about it, officer.
You have two people with criminal records,
with prior convictions.
What do I have? An impeccable life.
Mosquera, on the other hand,
has proven capable of lying
and buying off witnesses.
Do you mean
you didn't offer him any money?
No, not at all.
What's more, I have nothing to hide.
Here they are, officer.
The estate's accounting records,
examine it.
You'll notice that, unfortunately,
this is not a good time for us
to spend money on criminals.
I'd like to know, officer,
what did you come here for?
To interrogate me?
Detain me? Do you have an arrest warrant?
Should I call my lawyer?
Goodbye, ma'am.
I'm starting to worry.
It's been a couple of hours, no?
What if something happened?
I don't think so.
They should've been back by now, Lucy.
Well, if it makes you more at ease,
we can return to the commune and get help.
Like this?
How else?
It's either that or stay here
and be happy forever.
Yes, sure you're right. Let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
We're neither criminals
nor exhibitionists.
The criminal is the one
who stole our clothing while we swam.
What were you doing there?
It's a place that's very isolated
from any tourist area.
We were swimming,
it's perfectly normal and legal.
It may be legal, gentlemen,
but it's also very strange.
Where are you from?
Cali.
What were you doing there?
We're doing a documentary
on Freedom Community
and we wanted to freshen up, that's all.
-Freedom Community?
-Yes, Freedom Community.
I'm a journalist
and he's my cameraman,
and we're doing a documentary
highlighting the social work
that the community is doing
at El Albor plains.
Mm-hmm.
Neighbors have filed several complaints
about a very peculiar hippie community
that's scandalous, holds parties,
and has invaded the area.
Could we be talking
about the same one, perhaps?
I couldn't tell you, officer.
Officer,
I'm a journalist but also a lawyer.
I promise, on the Constitution,
that we haven't committed a crime.
We'll do something then.
While we check if your hippie friends
are involved
in some illegal activities or not,
you will spend the night here behind bars.
-No, no, we have rights.
-No, no.
No, this can't be.
Why is everything so arbitrary?
Are you sure it was this way?
No.
But the best way to find someone
is to always follow the river.
Is that my shirt?
-There's the rest!
-Where?
Look, look.
Careful there.
-Oh, no.
-Look, Tino's clothes.
I must admit
they played a good trick on us.
Here is Joe's.
We're lucky we found it.
CAUCA VALLEY DISTRICT PRISON
I do promise that if I get out,
I will not abandon you.
I will take care of all of you.
You don't have to worry about me,
Joaquín, thank you.
Sure, but how about
a practice fully compliant
with all the requirements?
Do you think they'll ever give me
my license back? In your dreams.
Will they give you trouble as a nurse too?
Tell me that the release letter is out.
I'm sorry.
They'll keep investigating the case,
my dad said.
Did he talk to the judge?
Yes, he told them the truth.
So?
The judge thinks it's not enough.
He swore he did all he could,
even risked his life.
No, don't worry, I'm thankful
for everything you've done for me.
We knew it wouldn't be easy, in fact.
From what I can tell,
this trial will be long.
Looks like it.
I'm sorry.
Keep it up.
If there's something we need here,
my friend, it's patience.
Or execute plan B.
What's plan B?
Those pants look good on you.
Thanks. Those are a bit too big for you,
aren't they?
What does it feel like
to wear Joe's shirt?
Well
Sir.
How about you?
What does it feel like to step into
the shoes of professor, lawyer,
and journalist Tino Domínguez?
Smells good.
Oh, really?
Smart men have a special scent.
Intelligence isn't everything
in this life.
Look at you, you're talking like Joe.
-Always criticizing his brother.
-No.
No, no, come on.
But, well, it's true that just
because Tino had better opportunities,
it doesn't mean he's better than Joe.
Are you still in love with Joe?
I don't know what you mean, but I hope
I hope Sara still loves me.
See?
-What?
-There's the ultimate proof.
Those two men on bikes
didn't even look at us.
If they would've known we're women,
we would've gotten catcalled.
An unwanted compliment, of course.
You're lucky to have both of them.
Yes, it's true.
Hey, thanks.
-Aren't you going to ask why?
-Why?
I didn't think
I'd have so much fun this quickly.
Me neither.
I'm really happy we're sisters.
Wait, sisters?
Sure, but my dad and your mom
You really don't care?
Of course I care.
Well, it really hurts me that my mom
was unable to have my dad's love.
But what can I do about it?
It's neither your fault nor mine.
And we can't pay
for what our parents do, right?
No.
No, never.
Never?
Never.
Never.
Mrs. Mariana.
-What? What happened?
-The police came earlier.
And?
Did they take him?
They went to the study,
they spoke and they left.
Thanks for letting me know.
How are you, Berenice?
Here's the suitcase.
Ofe, nice to see you.
I thought you wouldn't come back.
Every time I try to stay away,
I always end up missing La Victoria and
and all of you.
So here I am.
I can never fully leave, Mariana.
I'm very happy you're here.
-Ángel!
-Ángel, it's us!
I'm glad I found you. Where were you?
We haven't heard from you in days.
Yes, I'm sorry.
We were with some friends and time flew.
Josefina said you might be here,
so I came to get you.
What matters is that you're here,
you can drive us to the commune.
-Yes.
-Commune, what commune?
Yes, a commune.
We can't leave, we must find our friends.
Yes, Tino and Joe.
-But that's really dangerous.
-Why is it dangerous?
Look, what I mean is
Does anyone else know you're here?
No, nobody, just Sara.
Yes, I haven't told anyone either. Why?
Let's do something.
I'll take you to that commune
and check if it's safe.
Only then will I decide
if you can stay or not, all right?
All right.
I've always liked you, Ángel.
Did you know?
-Okay, get in.
-I'll take the back.
-The back? Miss Lucy
-Me too, then.
But, Sa
Okay.
-Hold on tight.
-You'll love it.
If the police had something on me,
I would be in jail now.
No, it's not that I'm worried,
but we have to be prepared.
Joaquín won't give up,
especially now that he's with Mariana.
So I want to transfer all of
La Victoria's money as soon as possible.
Yes, yes,
the account in Panama is settled.
But I also want to sell the land,
no matter the cost.
Yes, I know I asked you
to tell her that it was a low offer,
but I don't care now.
I need life insurance
in case I have to flee.
Yes, tell them we're willing
to sell La Victoria.
Of course I'm interested in cotton seeds.
Yes, I'd love to see them.
How about we make an appointment?
Next Monday morning, okay?
Very well.
We'll see you then, good afternoon.
You look beautiful today, Mariana.
By the way, the police came,
but they didn't find anything, of course.
You paid Aguilar
so he wouldn't testify against you,
Rogelio!
Thankfully, some men
can't be swayed by money.
-You lost me.
-You're lost?
-Don't be so shameless, Rogelio.
-Oh, Mariana.
-Look at me, I'm talking to you.
-I can't look at you, you know why?
Because you worry me, you scare me.
When I see your bulging eyes
and you speaking nonsense,
it makes me think
you lost your sanity again.
Shut up,
you won't manipulate me with that.
Mariana, I beg you,
for the love I have for you,
stop making up stories in your head
because if any of what you believe
were true, I'd be in jail.
You bribed the policemen
who came for you, Rogelio.
Oh, Lord, you're a pain, Mariana Azcárate.
I'll tell you one thing.
Whatever you attempt
with
it's hard for me to say it,
your lover won't hurt me.
Because this whole conspiracy
is in your little head.
So I beg you,
get some psychiatric help
or I'll get it for you.
Ofelia.
Alfredo.
I came to see you, so don't ask me
to leave because I won't.
I don't want you to see me like this.
How come?
-I see the usual Alfredo.
-That's not true.
I'm useless.
Disabled.
A monster.
But you're alive, Alfredo.
You're at home,
surrounded by care and love.
But I may not be able to walk again.
Well, there are other ways.
Please, don't stare at me with pity.
Alfredo, I look at you the same way
I've always looked at you.
And that's with love.
You're a saint.
Well, I'd like for you
to see me as a woman.
I don't measure up to you.
I don't deserve you.
Why look for an excuse to push me away?
How can you be so unconditional
to a guy like me?
Because I'm stubborn?
If I didn't have much to offer you before,
now I have even less.
When will you let yourself be loved?
Go, Ofelia.
Go, leave.
Live your life,
do what I will never be able to do.
-Do it for both of us.
-Alfredo.
Whatever I do
will always bring me back to you.
Why are you here, Ofelia?
I'm here to ask you to marry me.
The room is very nice, thanks.
What matters is that you're comfortable.
Just call me if you need anything.
If you're hungry, help yourself
to anything in the kitchen.
I'll come visit you every day.
Oh, Primitiva, I told you
that you can stay here.
I
have never slept
in such a soft bed before.
I slept on the streets
most of my childhood.
When Ignacia adopted us, well
things weren't much better.
I've never had a room like this
for myself, in fact.
I would just share.
I even shared at the lodging.
I will make sure you have what you need.
We'll make up for lost time, okay?
Thanks.
I can't believe that life
is giving us all this second chance.
And when can I meet Mrs. Mariana?
Don't think I'm not happy
to be here with you,
because I am happy.
But you've also been saying
that there's a chance
that she's my mom, so
Why don't you keep organizing your things
and we'll make you some delicious food?
Okay? Let's go.
Let's go, Primitiva.
Let's go.
I feel sorry for what the child
has had to go through all these years.
Yes, but it's great that we found him
and can give him what he never had.
It's definitely a miracle.
It's just unbelievable.
After thinking he was dead for 20 years,
the fact that he's here with us now
Mariana will jump for joy
when she finds out.
I know it's exciting for you
to think that he could be your nephew.
But I think it's better
not to tell anything to Mariana.
Carlos Mauricio is the spitting image
of my late husband, may he rest in peace.
But we shouldn't assume
that Carlos Mauricio is your son.
Just like he could be your son,
he could also be Mariana's.
The heart of a mother tells me,
and my motherly instinct does too.
A mother's instinct is never wrong.
Right, but a hunch is not enough proof.
I was the one who had those dreams.
And I saw the signs too.
If this is not God's work,
then tell me what is.
Well, I think that we have
to confirm his identity.
So we don't get our hopes up in vain.
I also don't want to tell Mariana,
she's got so many problems,
I don't want to add another one.
Let's do something,
don't tell Mrs. Mariana about this
until I go and talk to the doctor.
I'll ask him if there's any way
to prove that Carlos Mauricio is my son.
No.
What did you see this morning
when the nun came?
Nothing.
I didn't see anything, I didn't.
Perfect, Maura, nothing,
because there's nothing to see.
Just some crazy woman
who escaped from the nuthouse
and Mariana doesn't need
to find out, understood?
-Yes.
-Yes? I'm glad.
You know why? Because I love your food
and it would be a shame
to have to do without your presence.
-Hmm?
-Yes.
Yes.
Nice dinner.
And?
-Did he say yes?
-No.
-Oh, don't tell me that
-He didn't say no either.
What then?
We have to give him a little time.
More time, Ofe?
Yes, I know.
Did you know you're incredible?
I surprise myself, I promise, but
what can I say?
There comes a point in life
when one has two choices:
either remain dead inside
or decide to do what their heart says,
regardless of anything.
And that's the choice I've made.
Do you really love my dad this much?
I love him, Mariana.
I probably love him
as much as you love Joaquín.
Love is a blessing, Marianita.
Not being next to the person we love
doesn't mean we can't feel it.
Do you realize how lucky
we are to feel this?
How many people in life feel this?
Very few.
Very few.
I love you.
Love you too.
Hang on.
Hello?
Mariana,
I need you to come urgently to El Búcaro.
Why? What happened?
I'll explain here.
Sure, I'm on my way.
I have to go, Ofe.
Let me go, where are you taking me?
Let me go!
Let me go!
Let me go!
You don't know who I am.
Let me go, I'll kill you all.
Let me go! I'm Rogelio Benítez! My child!
I was having a nightmare again.
I doubt they're nightmares.
Things about your past
that are tormenting you
and they need closure.
-Where's Lucy?
-She's around somewhere.
And
Where's Ángel?
The gentleman left.
He said Lucy is better off with you.
Are Tino and Joe back?
They're nowhere to be found.
I just don't understand
why Joaquín hasn't been freed.
We had a major witness.
Yes, but I think we need
more testimonies to verify the events.
Material evidence, at least.
But please, Counselor,
that's nearly impossible.
We need other alternatives.
Believe me, I'm really sorry,
but León Aguilar's testimony alone
is not enough.
Not for releasing Joaquín
nor for sending Benítez to jail.
So what can we do?
I know someone who can help.
But it'll be difficult to convince him.
Get up, get up.
-What? Are you letting us out?
-As he should.
This is a violation of human rights,
of freedom.
Show some respect to the authorities
if you don't want to stay in here.
You'd be in trouble
because it's not a provable offense.
Come on, quickly, before I change my mind.
We'll take you to the hippie community.
Why are you taking us?
Move it, move it!
Come on, go.
I'm sure something happened.
Tino and Joe wouldn't leave without us.
What if they got disoriented
and lost their way?
Our partners went looking for them,
but couldn't find them.
Plus, Joe knows this area pretty well.
He wouldn't get lost.
Something must've happened.
Don't think something bad happened.
What if the guys who stole our clothes
did something to them?
Luis!
-Luis, the police are coming.
-What? Oh, shit.
Put the marijuana away, please.
Quick, the marijuana, you know what to do.
Hurry!
There.
I'll take care of what's inside.
Gentlemen, get out.
-What's this? Why the police?
-Calm down, calm down.
We were detained all night.
How come?
-Why? Tell them why.
-We went looking for clothes.
And we were arrested for exhibitionism.
Do you have a shipment of marijuana?
Don't just stand there.
Help me wrap it up.
But, but What?
What are you going to do with all that?
It's too much marijuana
for all of you to smoke.
Luis.
The police want to speak with you.
How can I help you, officer?
Are you in charge?
In our community,
no one is above the rest.
But I can respond if anything.
I want to remind you
that you're invading private property.
Mother Nature belongs to all of us.
Nobody can claim property over the land.
Are you trying to be funny?
No, sir.
What I'm saying is that we're temporarily
camping out here.
We're a nomad community
like our ancestors.
Do you know what that means?
I know very well what that is, sir.
Well, that.
We're not hurting anybody.
Can you tell us what you do for a living?
-We're land protectors.
-Mm-hmm.
Well, land protectors,
I believe you won't have a problem
if we do a search, right?
-Rojas.
-Sir.
Four to the house,
the other three, search.
All right, all of you,
line up there, move it. Come on.
Come on, move it, move it.
All of you, line up over there. Move it.
Come on, move it.
Since you're here,
I want to ask you for help with an issue.
I just arrived in this country
and I can't contact my family in Bogotá.
That's why I'm staying in the community.
They must be looking for me
and they're probably
very worried about me.
I have no idea how to contact them.
Would you help me with that?
Dad, you can't keep defending Rogelio.
He's an honest man.
I refuse to believe that, at this point,
you don't know the kind of man he is.
Dad, Dad, look at me.
If you know anything,
if you have evidence against him,
whatever it is,
this is the time to tell me.
I know you respect loyalty,
but I need you to be loyal to me.
I have nothing against Benítez.
He's always been on our side.
Rojas, what is it? Did you find anything?
Negative, Sergeant.
All right, gentlemen,
listen to what I'm going to say.
I'll give you two days
to leave this property
and gather your stuff. Now you know,
you're invading private property.
If you don't, I'll be forced
to evict you by any means necessary.
Is that clear?
All right. Gentlemen, let's go.
Good afternoon, officer.
-Won't be seeing you, right?
-I hope not.
-Mrs. Mariana.
-Oh, Maura, can you make me some tea?
Yes, madam, um, but
Excuse me if I'm intruding,
but I just have to
I have to tell you something
very serious regarding Mr. Rogelio.
What? What is it?
So why do you have all this marijuana?
We've got to make a living somehow, right?
Do you sell it? Are you a drug dealer?
No way.
We just grow it and sell it
to different hippie communities
in the country.
But it's gotten difficult now.
Competition?
Though the weed from the Valley is good,
they're growing it in the Caribbean
and they're taking over the market.
Perhaps
the business is outside the country,
not within.
I don't understand.
We'd do wonders with this abroad.
Sure, it must be very hard
to get the weed out of Colombia
and into the United States.
Hey, you
have papers to go in and out
of the US, right?
Yes.
Do you want to do business with me?
Business?
-Good afternoon.
-Good afternoon, thanks.
Why, what do I have?
Mariana,
I think you're severely traumatized
and what you need now
is to accept it so you can move forward.
I want to get out of here.
-Mariana, it will be fine!
-Please, no!
-No, no!
-No, please. Not like that!
-Hello.
-Good afternoon.
I'm looking for Graciliano Mosquera.
No problem, one moment, please.
I swear, Mrs. Mariana,
I didn't want to hurt your dad.
-I just wanted to apologize.
-Relax, Graciliano.
I'm not here for that, don't worry.
I know very well
that your intentions were good.
My dad can blame you
for all your misfortunes,
but I know you saved his life.
I'm here for something else.
I need your help.
Maura told me
that you came to the estate with a nun.
Mm-hmm.
Who is she?
Wait here.
Sister Marina,
this is Mrs. Mariana Azcárate.
My pleasure.
Mrs. Mariana,
I've waited so long to meet you.
Do we know each other?
No, not directly.
-I'll leave you two alone.
-Thank you.
So sorry to ask you this, but who are you?
Is it true that Rogelio attacked you?
Yes.
But why?
Why were you at my house?
I went looking for Sara.
My daughter?
My daughter.
Sara is my daughter.
What?
Oh.
-This is a lot of money, Counselor.
-Mm-hmm.
It's a fortune.
Alfredo and Mariana's years of savings
are in my hands.
-Are you going to do this?
-This belongs to me.
I earned it after years of humiliation.
I'll cash this check
and send this money to Panama.
Sooner or later, they will find out.
It'll be too late.
And when they do, I'll be far away.
So Rogelio took her from you?
He threatened me
and forced me to give her to him.
He asked me to leave her
at the church entrance,
that wasn't just by chance.
And?
And I
I don't know, back then,
I thought it was a good option that he
protect her, give her a different life
because I couldn't, I
I worked at the bar.
I was a prostitute
and drank a lot of alcohol.
It wasn't the best life for Sara.
But I swear I adored her.
I adored my daughter.
I believed him.
I thought he'd protect her
and he also would tell me
that there was no one
better to protect her than her dad.
Her dad?
Yes.
Rogelio Benítez is Sara's dad.
Sara is our daughter.
We celebrate the cultural day
of the inmates here twice a year.
They have comedians, musicians,
magicians, whatever.
But what is certain every time
is that they open the event with a play.
We could escape with them.
Explain.
This is the auditorium.
It has a door to the warehouse.
This door here
takes you to a corridor
where there's a guard,
and here's their transportation.
There's a guard here and another one here.
The janitor's storage room has a hole
made years ago,
they forgot about it,
and it takes you to the laundry area
and a window.
All we need
is for a friend to open that window
so that we could go in
and cross over here and go in there.
But going from the patio
to that room is easy.
We'll go out that way,
cross over, we'll wait for them,
we'll replace them,
and leave with them.
If that's a real possibility,
I'm up for it.
Me too.
As long as we get out of this hellhole.
Fine.
Like everything else in this prison,
we need what's miraculous,
the miracle-worker,
the money, and plenty of it.
I have no problem with that.
I'll pay for Tulio.
Perfect. I have no problem,
I'll go with you and help, but I'll stay.
I assume you're going to help us.
It's a real chance to get out.
Well, sure
if I don't get a positive answer today,
I'll leave with you.
I haven't stopped thinking
about my girl one single day.
I confess that there were times
when I went to spy on you.
I'd see her from afar
and somehow, I was at peace
because you cared for her
like she was yours.
She is mine.
Thanks for taking care of her.
-Jazmín, Sara is the apple of my eye.
-I know.
But she's my daughter too.
-She thinks her mom is dead.
-But she isn't.
Is that why you went there?
To look for Sara,
and Rogelio saw you and threatened you?
He tried to choke me.
Jazmín, you have to report him.
Rogelio can't keep abusing everyone
however he pleases.
There are witnesses, you are not alone.
Please, for Sara's own good,
you have to protect her.
I have evidence that is very powerful,
and I've kept it for a long time.
It's a letter that he wrote.
He incriminates himself.
"My dear one,
I know that what I'm asking is not easy."
But I do it for your own good
and our daughter's.
We've both made mistakes, me and my anger,
you and your profession.
I know you worry that
our daughter won't be okay with me.
A man who has been consumed
by the desire for revenge
who tried to kill another.
"I know you see me as a murderer,
