LOVE OF MY LIFE
Matilde?
Oh, it's you.
Have you seen Matilde?
She didn't come to bed.
No, I haven't seen Matilde.
But do you know who I saw?
You, sleeping with Tino last night.
We didn't sleep together.
"We didn't sleep together."
What did my eyes see?
We didn't have sex,
if that's your concern.
If Tino told me, I might believe it,
but coming from you, I don't know.
Just for your information, we slept
as what we are, a couple of friends.
Does it make it less significant?
You're the only one
who needs to explain here.
Unbelievable!
You ditched Tino at his party
to chase after Joe, no less.
What's unbelievable is that you ran
to tell them you saw me with Joe
when you have no idea what is going on.
-That's what's unbelievable.
-Did I lie?
Don't bother denying it,
I saw it with my own eyes.
Look, mind your own business, hmm?
Own up to your decisions, Sara.
You're the only one being dishonest.
Tino.
Jose, have you seen Tino?
Where were you, Sara?
I mean, yesterday was
a very important day for you and Tino.
I know, I'll tell you later, okay?
I need to know where he is.
Are you crazy?
Seeing the groom before the wedding?
Jose, I don't have the dress on.
It doesn't matter, it's bad luck.
Tell me, where were you yesterday?
The guests were waiting around
until late, and Tino was upset.
That's exactly why I need to talk to him.
Where is Tino?
Tino went to the estate to get dressed.
You should do the same,
or are you getting married like that?
-He went to the estate?
-Yes, he left early with Primitiva.
Are you sure he left for the estate?
He didn't say,
but where else would they go?
Thanks.
Here is fine.
Thank you.
Honey.
Honey, control yourself.
Think things through first.
It's clear to me,
there's nothing to reconsider.
I get that you're upset,
but don't let anger cloud your judgment
or you'll end up
doing something you'll regret.
I've made up my mind.
-Hello, I'm looking for Mrs. Mariana.
-Follow me, sir.
You're stubborn like your dad.
Wait for me, will you?
Thanks.
-Hello.
-Hi.
You look beautiful.
Thank you very much.
But, Tino, you can't be here.
You can't see the bride.
I said the same thing.
I'm looking for Sara,
but I can't find her anywhere.
I know, but she'll be here soon.
Why not head to El Búcaro
and get ready in the meantime?
Yes, Sara will be here any moment.
Okay.
-Sorry to intrude. You look gorgeous.
-Thanks.
-You look beautiful, Mariana.
-Thanks.
-Dad.
-Mm-hmm.
Lucy, I can't wait any longer.
-Let's go now.
-We can't.
Matilde hasn't arrived.
Isn't her dad coming for her?
He's not because we were leaving together.
Something bad must've happened.
What do you mean?
I know you warned me, Dad.
What did you do, Lucy?
We were researching for the magazine.
-You lied to me.
-I know I lied to you, I'm sorry.
Journalism is my life.
I asked Matilde to do the interview
and she didn't come back.
Hello?
We must find her.
Yes, but will I make you
miss your wedding?
What?
Mariana won't have a peaceful wedding
knowing her niece is in danger.
Joaquín!
They just called. It's about Matilde.
I'm really glad
you've come to your senses.
Not mentioning it
to avoid spoiling the party
doesn't mean I've changed my mind.
Honey, I may not have a right
to say anything, but
No, you know what?
I do have a right to tell you
because I'm your mother.
You love Sara, and Sara loves you.
I'm not so sure of that anymore.
Then ask her.
Ask her before letting
your imagination run wild.
It's the least she deserves.
What about me?
What do I deserve, Mom?
I don't want to keep playing the fool
my whole life.
Every time my brother shows up
Every time Joe shows up,
Sara runs after him.
When will I be her priority?
Honey
I don't want to be the second choice.
-Give it some thought. Talk to her.
-Why talk?
Listen, Mom
What we feel
is more important than what we do.
Right now, I feel that there's more to it,
that something's going on.
What did I say now? What happened?
I just
It's the first time you call me Mom.
Stop whining, man.
We're almost there.
What are you doing?
-Leave that alone.
-It's to cure myself.
It hurts.
This is infected.
Ow, ow.
Ow!
-Ow! Damn it.
-It's fine, the wound is doing better.
-It's not better!
-It's better.
-It's beginning to scar.
-It's infected, it needs alcohol.
Do you think I'm stupid, Mr. Alfredo?
I'm not, you know?
I already know that you harmed yourself
to get to that bottle of alcohol.
But that's 100% alcohol.
-It will hurt you.
-I don't follow, you're crazy.
In case you forgot, let me remind you
I was an alcoholic too.
I'm not an alcoholic.
Get a grip.
Abstinence is difficult.
But if you overcome it
It doesn't mean the rest is easy, but
it's a start.
Graciliano, stay out of it.
Mind your own business.
I'll decide when to stop drinking alcohol!
Stop torturing me!
I just want to help you out.
So give me a drink!
Give me a drink, please.
Mr. Alfredo.
You're the strongest man I know.
Hang in there.
What for?
Who told you I want to stop drinking?
Life is worth it.
Not mine.
I lost everything.
Who cares if I lose myself?
Are you giving up this easily?
Will you leave this world
without putting up a fight?
I've already fought enough.
Your daughter is getting married.
And your granddaughter.
Don't you want to see them?
-They're getting married?
-Yes.
Sarita to Tino,
and Mrs. Mariana to my son.
And look at me.
Instead of being out there with him,
I'm wasting my time with you.
Nobody's making you.
Mariana will never forgive me.
You're wrong.
Fortunately, Mariana
inherited her mother Mrs. Victoria's
huge heart, and not yours.
Fortunately.
But
to ask for forgiveness,
one must show that they've changed.
Can you change, Mr. Alfredo?
Because that's a reflection
of a man's integrity.
Tie it up well
and open it up so it looks nice.
Hurry up, pal.
You almost didn't make it.
We're waiting for you.
-Where's my mom?
-In the bedroom.
She's all set now.
It's just you, so hurry up.
Mom.
-Honey, finally, you're here.
-I need to talk to you.
There's a huge problem now.
I don't think Tino will be coming.
-Lucy told him that
-Sara, Tino is here.
What? Here, now?
Yes, he's at El Búcaro.
-Did you see him yourself?
-Yes, I saw him.
Okay.
-For a moment, I thought
-That he wouldn't come to his wedding?
-I'll go find him, okay?
-No, wait, wait!
-What is it?
-No.
They're at El Búcaro, we're here.
-Mom, I really need to talk to him.
-No, write him a letter if you want.
-A letter?
-Here.
We'll ask Maura to take it over.
-A letter it is.
-Mrs. Mariana.
-Here's your tea.
-Maura, we need a favor.
-Yes.
-One moment.
Ma'am, they're getting your dress
so you can change.
-Okay. Thanks, Maura.
-How can I help?
You look so handsome, honey.
I don't even know why I got dressed.
What do you mean? For your wedding.
It will get canceled either way
because Sara isn't coming.
I'll bet on my life that she is.
I'm about to experience
the most humiliating moment of my life.
Sara must be with Joe right now.
Honey, I saw Sara come home last night,
in Cali.
What?
Yes.
She came back alone.
Don't lie to me.
Why would I lie?
If she's leaving with someone,
why did she return?
Tino, sir.
Hello.
Oh, you look very handsome.
Miss Sara is going to die
when she sees you.
Here.
She sends you this. She wrote it.
I told you.
She's at home with Mrs. Mariana.
They're getting her ready.
I love you now and forever.
I love you unquestionably.
Trust it, because love is made of trust.
Sara.
Thanks, Maura.
Well, don't be late, we're here.
Excuse me.
We're ready.
Joaquín hasn't arrived yet.
-He hasn't?
-No.
-Where is he?
-I don't know.
I called Josefina, but no one was there.
Maybe they're on their way.
But the wedding is in less than two hours!
Carla.
Will we go on like this forever?
Like what?
Without telling Joaquín about us.
This is the worst time.
On the contrary.
I think it's the best.
He's getting married,
and we can tell him we're in love.
Aren't we in love?
-I see.
-No.
No, I love you.
Lately, I've just been thinking
about going back to the US.
And I'd like to know
if you'd come with me.
Hmm?
I'm glad you reconsidered, honey.
-I know what you feel for Joe.
-It's not like what I feel for you.
I want to make it work with you.
I want to be with you.
I want to be your wife.
-It's here.
-Yes, I think it's here.
According to the location,
this is the house.
-Let's go.
-No, no.
-Wait for me here.
-There's no way you're going alone.
-We don't know who these people are.
-That's why, it could be a trap.
-I don't want them to harm you.
-Nothing will happen to me, honey.
-Don't worry.
-But, Dad
Josefina, keep watch.
-No, wait.
-Come here.
I'm not actually surprised
that you're behind all this.
You know what, Joe? It's really
a shame.
I don't even dislike you.
-We even did good business together.
-Hmm.
But I can't get over my amazement.
You, Mariana's son.
Be grateful I didn't kill you as a baby.
But I learned a lesson.
I don't leave anything to fate anymore.
Save it and kill me already.
This time we agree on something, Joe.
No need to hurry. You will die, Joe.
But your mom needs to see it.
Here! We're here!
Here!
Here!
-Please help me.
-Don't worry.
Here!
Relax, are you okay?
Thank you, sir.
Dad, Mati!
-I'm so sorry.
-She wouldn't listen. Matilde!
Oh, honey.
Easy, Mati.
It's all right.
We're here, relax.
Mr. Alfredo!
I made you food for tonight and tomorrow,
I'm leaving for
Excuse me, Graciliano.
What did you see?
I don't know, nothing.
They just hit me,
blindfolded me, and tied me up.
How many were they?
-Three.
-Two.
Two. Yes, two.
What else do you remember?
I was at home waiting for the lady,
and some guys came in and tied me up.
They told me they'd kill me if I screamed.
Their faces, did you see them?
Miss, I'm so sorry
for having involved you in this,
but I was desperate.
I didn't know who to turn to.
-Relax.
-Maybe it's the men
who want to take your house.
We have to keep investigating
and find them.
No, it's better to leave it alone.
We almost got ourselves killed,
and I didn't even speak.
-Don't worry, we'll protect you.
-No.
I've caused you too much trouble already.
It's best if I move in
with my cousin in Villavicencio.
Mrs. Lina, you can't give in
to those people.
The magazine was created
to be a voice for those who need one.
Please, I just want to leave.
I'm really thankful that you want to help,
but it's not worth it
to risk your life for me, okay?
Thank you so much, really.
Mrs. Lina, it doesn't have to end here.
We still have time to report this.
I just want to forget all of this
and get myself somewhere safe.
Thank you.
Okay.
We're leaving.
-Did they believe you?
-Yes, Rowdy, they believed me.
But organize it better next time.
How could you confuse them? Huh?
Shh
Calm down.
Calm down.
-Such a great job.
-Oh, don't bug me.
I don't know why, but I don't believe her.
How can you say that
after everything they did to us?
"Did to us?"
You mean what they did to you, Mati.
That woman was way too affected
for the amount of bruising she had.
Let's go. That's it.
That's it.
Careful.
-Hurry.
-Come.
Quickly.
My boy looks so handsome.
I wish your dad could see you.
He'd be proud of you.
But I know that, from Heaven,
he's making sure everything goes well.
I will speak to the Father.
See you in a bit.
Father!
-Do you have a minute?
-Of course, tell me.
Maura, how's it coming along?
Don't come here, you'll get dirty.
Everything is fine.
I know, Maura, but it's a special day
and I want it all to be perfect.
It will be perfect.
I told you I'd take care of it,
and I will.
-All right.
-Mariana!
-What is it, Father?
-Hi, Maura.
I know we're running a bit late,
but we're almost ready.
Late? What we have is a problem.
-What is it?
-Well
Apparently
Poor guy.
He's back there, with his head
But he's not the boss.
He's not the boss.
He has to show some respect.
Where the heck does this lead to?
No, sir.
I'm Alfredo Azcárate Valencia,
you have to respect me, damn it.
That's too much.
Where the heck am I going?
No, he can go to hell.
He messed with me,
he's abusive and a kidnapper.
Damn it.
-Honey.
-So? How do I look?
Um
-What is it? Don't you like it?
-No, but I have to tell you something.
What happened, Mom?
Tino canceled the wedding.
What?
Tino, wait! Tino!
Tino!
-We have to talk.
-About what?
I'm tired of talking.
Words are meaningless. It's enough.
-What's wrong with you?
-You know what's wrong with me.
-I stayed with Joe, it's true.
-Fine.
-But I didn't want to be with him or talk.
-But life brings you together again?
Tino, nothing important happened.
Actually, yes,
something important happened.
I was with him because I had to be,
and because I thought
it was a good idea to be clear
that it is you who I love.
And that I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.
You shouldn't force something
that doesn't come naturally.
Well
Look at me.
Look at me.
You know me.
Do you think that Sara Benítez Azcárate
will do something she doesn't want to?
For what? For a party?
-For appearances' sake?
-To spare me.
Sure, I don't want to hurt you
because I love you.
You know what I'm talking about.
Oh, Tino, please.
When will you understand
that it's not my mom's time?
She was forced to get married.
I want to get married.
If I wanted to marry Joe,
I would be marrying Joe.
But no, I want to marry you.
I know you love me.
-But what happened with him
-What happened with him
was important and strong, yes.
I will never deny that.
But like I told Joe, he's my past.
You're my present and also my future.
He can't force me not to love you,
and you can't force me not to talk to him,
or care about him.
But it hurts.
I know.
I know.
That's why it's important
to clear this up before we get married.
Because we'll be together.
We'll walk together side by side.
But there will be many unpleasant things
that we'll have to deal with.
Like
for example,
having all your law books and papers
lying around the whole house,
or having to put up
with your two-hour-long phone calls,
taking your interviews.
I love you with all my heart.
But I don't want to marry a man
who doesn't believe me.
I don't get it.
The wedding is in two hours,
and it's all crumbling down.
-You should have some tea.
-Thanks, Maura.
Thanks! Mariana.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this,
but Joaquín hasn't made it to El Búcaro.
He's nowhere to be found.
-What?
-Yes.
-Why? What could've happened?
-I don't know.
Here. Have this.
Now you have to make the choice
of either accepting me the way I am or
I don't know where they could be.
It's strange that he hasn't arrived.
Father, I'm so sorry.
We have another problem.
I think we'll have to cancel.
-Really? Why?
-No!
Oh! There he is! They're here!
Honey, I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry we're late.
-What happened?
I'm sorry, Mariana, it was my fault.
Okay, we're all here,
so please, let's begin.
Fine, I'll get dressed.
-You look beautiful.
-Yes.
The problem is that Tino
called off the wedding.
They didn't, apparently, there they are.
So sorry, we're here now.
I think that getting married
with the kids wasn't a great idea.
We're all set.
All right, 20 minutes, we'll get ready,
and we'll start the ceremony.
-Okay!
-Thanks!
Don't worry.
Almost didn't make it, huh?
Here we go, sir. Just in time.
I can't believe
that life is giving me the opportunity
to see my son get married.
And see him so happy.
-God does exist.
-So does justice.
Joaquín.
Thanks.
For so much love and loyalty.
Thank you for your honesty.
I want you to know
that you'll always be a part of my life.
Of course.
You're my daughter's father.
How do I look?
-You look beautiful, Mom.
-You too.
Thank you so much.
-You know what?
-What?
I love you.
I love you too.
-Are you ready?
-Of course, ready.
Let's go.
Yes.
Oh, you both look so pretty.
-Thanks.
-Thanks, Maura.
Mrs. Mariana, phone for you.
-Who is it?
-I don't know, they said it was urgent.
Go, I'll be right there.
Thanks.
Hello?
Mariana.
The love of my life.
It's always a pleasure to hear your voice.
What do you want, Rogelio?
I couldn't not call you
on such a special day for you.
Sure
I have to admit I'm a little offended
that you didn't invite me to the wedding.
I won't let you ruin this moment.
Don't hang up, please,
I don't want to ruin your wedding.
On the contrary.
I have a very special wedding gift.
Listen.
-Joe?
-Don't listen to him, Mariana!
Where's Mariana? Shouldn't she be here?
What? That's impossible.
Yes, it's possible. I have your son.
Rogelio, let him go.
Oh, Mariana, you can't make me.
I'm warning you.
Stop giving orders and warnings,
you're in no position to do so.
Just listen very carefully, hmm?
If you want to see your son alive,
cancel that stupid wedding right now.
One thing
Nobody can find out about this call
or what's going on.
Rogelio, you're sick.
I want you to know I hate you.
Instead, I love you with all my being,
I swear.
I still love you with all my being.
But this is serious,
and it's just between us.
If anyone finds out, I will kill him.
-What do you want me to do?
-That's better.
If you want to see your son alive,
you must come.
Alone. Hmm?
I don't care what the hell you say,
but you're canceling that wedding now.
Don't do it!
Rogelio, don't hurt him.
Don't do anything to him.
You know how things work with me, right?
What's going on?
Mariana, I know it's not a good time,
but it's about your dad.
I don't know where he is.
I'm scared he could harm himself.
Mom.
Mom!
Mom, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Mariana, honey, what's wrong?
Joaquín, forgive me,
but I can't get married now.
Why? What happened?
Father, I'm sorry, we have to cancel it.
-What's wrong?
-Mom, what happened?
Mariana, please, what happened?
But this is serious,
and it's just between us.
If anyone finds out, I will kill him.
My dad is missing.
My grandfather is missing?
-Yes.
-Okay, let's calm down.
Where did you hear about this?
Your dad just told me.
Yes, I looked for him but he's nowhere.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
We have a very serious problem
and we'll have to take a pause.
We'll be back.
Is everything okay?
My grandpa is missing.
What do we do?
Wait.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
Primitiva, are you all right?
Lay back.
-I'm sorry, Joaquín.
-Mariana, relax.
Calm down. What happened?
I'm sorry, Joaquín,
I can't get married to you right now.
-Is something wrong with your dad?
-Mr. Alfredo
I was looking after him
because he has alcohol issues.
He tried hurting himself the other day
and he escaped this morning.
Why didn't you tell me earlier, Dad?
-It was a personal issue.
-Personal issue?
Joaquín, I know this is unfair,
but don't doubt for a second
how much I love you, please.
No, I will never doubt you, Mariana.
But apparently, your dad will always
interfere with our happiness.
I know
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I have to talk to Sara.
Excuse me.
Guys.
-I want to apologize.
-What happened to Grandpa?
Graciliano said he's lost,
he's had drinking problems,
and that he could hurt himself, perhaps.
Then we need to go look for him now.
Yes, but we have to cancel everything.
Sure, of course we will.
I spoke with Tino
and if you're not getting married,
neither are we.
-Don't worry.
-Oh, forgive me.
Relax, Mom, it's not your fault.
Thank you for understanding.
I didn't want to tell you
because it's a complicated subject,
but I do prefer to marry
with Grandpa here.
Let's go tell the guests.
Let's go.
Tino.
Primitiva is sick.
What happened?
Nothing, honey, I'm
I'm tired.
But
it must be all the hustle and bustle
of the last few days.
But don't worry, I
That's all it is.
-Should I call a doctor?
-No.
No. What about the ceremony?
It's canceled, Mr. Alfredo is missing.
No, honey, you can't cancel it.
-There's nothing we can do, it's canceled.
-No.
Don't do this to me.
I wanted to see you get married,
and start your own family.
I've thought about grandchildren
and everything.
Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?
You should tell me what's wrong.
I don't have a lot of time, honey.
Why do you say that?
It's nothing.
-Mom stuff.
-Tell him the truth.
Josefina.
Look at you.
You can't hide it much longer.
What is it? What's going on?
Well
I've been, for some time now,
having heart problems.
And it's gotten worse lately.
It must be
all these emotions combined.
Did you see a doctor?
She hasn't for a while now.
He never says anything new,
he always says the same thing.
What is the same thing?
That my heart is not well
and that there's not much left to do.
That it's only getting worse
and the only thing
that could save me is a miracle.
Thank you so much for coming.
Our apologies.
-I'll reach out when I hear from my dad.
-Don't worry, keep us posted.
-Thanks.
-Thanks for coming.
Thank you for coming and understanding.
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-Goodbye.
Mrs. Mariana.
Mr. Alfredo was in a cabin
ten kilometers north of here.
From there, he could've taken
the highway to Cali,
and if he went downriver,
he could be on the road to Buenaventura.
Graciliano, do you really think
he could hurt himself?
It's hard to know with your dad.
But I'll talk to the workers.
I'll have them search the whole area.
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
I can go look for him in Cali with my car.
Most of his relatives are there.
Yes, I'll also report it to the police.
-See you.
-Thanks.
-Mati, will you come with me?
-Sure.
I'm going to help my dad
with Mr. Alfredo's search.
Relax.
We'll find him.
Mariana.
Are you sure there's nothing else
you want to tell me?
No.

LOVE OF MY LIFE
Matilde?
Oh, it's you.
Have you seen Matilde?
She didn't come to bed.
No, I haven't seen Matilde.
But do you know who I saw?
You, sleeping with Tino last night.
We didn't sleep together.
"We didn't sleep together."
What did my eyes see?
We didn't have sex,
if that's your concern.
If Tino told me, I might believe it,
but coming from you, I don't know.
Just for your information, we slept
as what we are, a couple of friends.
Does it make it less significant?
You're the only one
who needs to explain here.
Unbelievable!
You ditched Tino at his party
to chase after Joe, no less.
What's unbelievable is that you ran
to tell them you saw me with Joe
when you have no idea what is going on.
-That's what's unbelievable.
-Did I lie?
Don't bother denying it,
I saw it with my own eyes.
Look, mind your own business, hmm?
Own up to your decisions, Sara.
You're the only one being dishonest.
Tino.
Jose, have you seen Tino?
Where were you, Sara?
I mean, yesterday was
a very important day for you and Tino.
I know, I'll tell you later, okay?
I need to know where he is.
Are you crazy?
Seeing the groom before the wedding?
Jose, I don't have the dress on.
It doesn't matter, it's bad luck.
Tell me, where were you yesterday?
The guests were waiting around
until late, and Tino was upset.
That's exactly why I need to talk to him.
Where is Tino?
Tino went to the estate to get dressed.
You should do the same,
or are you getting married like that?
-He went to the estate?
-Yes, he left early with Primitiva.
Are you sure he left for the estate?
He didn't say,
but where else would they go?
Thanks.
Here is fine.
Thank you.
Honey.
Honey, control yourself.
Think things through first.
It's clear to me,
there's nothing to reconsider.
I get that you're upset,
but don't let anger cloud your judgment
or you'll end up
doing something you'll regret.
I've made up my mind.
-Hello, I'm looking for Mrs. Mariana.
-Follow me, sir.
You're stubborn like your dad.
Wait for me, will you?
Thanks.
-Hello.
-Hi.
You look beautiful.
Thank you very much.
But, Tino, you can't be here.
You can't see the bride.
I said the same thing.
I'm looking for Sara,
but I can't find her anywhere.
I know, but she'll be here soon.
Why not head to El Búcaro
and get ready in the meantime?
Yes, Sara will be here any moment.
Okay.
-Sorry to intrude. You look gorgeous.
-Thanks.
-You look beautiful, Mariana.
-Thanks.
-Dad.
-Mm-hmm.
Lucy, I can't wait any longer.
-Let's go now.
-We can't.
Matilde hasn't arrived.
Isn't her dad coming for her?
He's not because we were leaving together.
Something bad must've happened.
What do you mean?
I know you warned me, Dad.
What did you do, Lucy?
We were researching for the magazine.
-You lied to me.
-I know I lied to you, I'm sorry.
Journalism is my life.
I asked Matilde to do the interview
and she didn't come back.
Hello?
We must find her.
Yes, but will I make you
miss your wedding?
What?
Mariana won't have a peaceful wedding
knowing her niece is in danger.
Joaquín!
They just called. It's about Matilde.
I'm really glad
you've come to your senses.
Not mentioning it
to avoid spoiling the party
doesn't mean I've changed my mind.
Honey, I may not have a right
to say anything, but
No, you know what?
I do have a right to tell you
because I'm your mother.
You love Sara, and Sara loves you.
I'm not so sure of that anymore.
Then ask her.
Ask her before letting
your imagination run wild.
It's the least she deserves.
What about me?
What do I deserve, Mom?
I don't want to keep playing the fool
my whole life.
Every time my brother shows up
Every time Joe shows up,
Sara runs after him.
When will I be her priority?
Honey
I don't want to be the second choice.
-Give it some thought. Talk to her.
-Why talk?
Listen, Mom
What we feel
is more important than what we do.
Right now, I feel that there's more to it,
that something's going on.
What did I say now? What happened?
I just
It's the first time you call me Mom.
Stop whining, man.
We're almost there.
What are you doing?
-Leave that alone.
-It's to cure myself.
It hurts.
This is infected.
Ow, ow.
Ow!
-Ow! Damn it.
-It's fine, the wound is doing better.
-It's not better!
-It's better.
-It's beginning to scar.
-It's infected, it needs alcohol.
Do you think I'm stupid, Mr. Alfredo?
I'm not, you know?
I already know that you harmed yourself
to get to that bottle of alcohol.
But that's 100% alcohol.
-It will hurt you.
-I don't follow, you're crazy.
In case you forgot, let me remind you
I was an alcoholic too.
I'm not an alcoholic.
Get a grip.
Abstinence is difficult.
But if you overcome it
It doesn't mean the rest is easy, but
it's a start.
Graciliano, stay out of it.
Mind your own business.
I'll decide when to stop drinking alcohol!
Stop torturing me!
I just want to help you out.
So give me a drink!
Give me a drink, please.
Mr. Alfredo.
You're the strongest man I know.
Hang in there.
What for?
Who told you I want to stop drinking?
Life is worth it.
Not mine.
I lost everything.
Who cares if I lose myself?
Are you giving up this easily?
Will you leave this world
without putting up a fight?
I've already fought enough.
Your daughter is getting married.
And your granddaughter.
Don't you want to see them?
-They're getting married?
-Yes.
Sarita to Tino,
and Mrs. Mariana to my son.
And look at me.
Instead of being out there with him,
I'm wasting my time with you.
Nobody's making you.
Mariana will never forgive me.
You're wrong.
Fortunately, Mariana
inherited her mother Mrs. Victoria's
huge heart, and not yours.
Fortunately.
But
to ask for forgiveness,
one must show that they've changed.
Can you change, Mr. Alfredo?
Because that's a reflection
of a man's integrity.
Tie it up well
and open it up so it looks nice.
Hurry up, pal.
You almost didn't make it.
We're waiting for you.
-Where's my mom?
-In the bedroom.
She's all set now.
It's just you, so hurry up.
Mom.
-Honey, finally, you're here.
-I need to talk to you.
There's a huge problem now.
I don't think Tino will be coming.
-Lucy told him that
-Sara, Tino is here.
What? Here, now?
Yes, he's at El Búcaro.
-Did you see him yourself?
-Yes, I saw him.
Okay.
-For a moment, I thought
-That he wouldn't come to his wedding?
-I'll go find him, okay?
-No, wait, wait!
-What is it?
-No.
They're at El Búcaro, we're here.
-Mom, I really need to talk to him.
-No, write him a letter if you want.
-A letter?
-Here.
We'll ask Maura to take it over.
-A letter it is.
-Mrs. Mariana.
-Here's your tea.
-Maura, we need a favor.
-Yes.
-One moment.
Ma'am, they're getting your dress
so you can change.
-Okay. Thanks, Maura.
-How can I help?
You look so handsome, honey.
I don't even know why I got dressed.
What do you mean? For your wedding.
It will get canceled either way
because Sara isn't coming.
I'll bet on my life that she is.
I'm about to experience
the most humiliating moment of my life.
Sara must be with Joe right now.
Honey, I saw Sara come home last night,
in Cali.
What?
Yes.
She came back alone.
Don't lie to me.
Why would I lie?
If she's leaving with someone,
why did she return?
Tino, sir.
Hello.
Oh, you look very handsome.
Miss Sara is going to die
when she sees you.
Here.
She sends you this. She wrote it.
I told you.
She's at home with Mrs. Mariana.
They're getting her ready.
I love you now and forever.
I love you unquestionably.
Trust it, because love is made of trust.
Sara.
Thanks, Maura.
Well, don't be late, we're here.
Excuse me.
We're ready.
Joaquín hasn't arrived yet.
-He hasn't?
-No.
-Where is he?
-I don't know.
I called Josefina, but no one was there.
Maybe they're on their way.
But the wedding is in less than two hours!
Carla.
Will we go on like this forever?
Like what?
Without telling Joaquín about us.
This is the worst time.
On the contrary.
I think it's the best.
He's getting married,
and we can tell him we're in love.
Aren't we in love?
-I see.
-No.
No, I love you.
Lately, I've just been thinking
about going back to the US.
And I'd like to know
if you'd come with me.
Hmm?
I'm glad you reconsidered, honey.
-I know what you feel for Joe.
-It's not like what I feel for you.
I want to make it work with you.
I want to be with you.
I want to be your wife.
-It's here.
-Yes, I think it's here.
According to the location,
this is the house.
-Let's go.
-No, no.
-Wait for me here.
-There's no way you're going alone.
-We don't know who these people are.
-That's why, it could be a trap.
-I don't want them to harm you.
-Nothing will happen to me, honey.
-Don't worry.
-But, Dad
Josefina, keep watch.
-No, wait.
-Come here.
I'm not actually surprised
that you're behind all this.
You know what, Joe? It's really
a shame.
I don't even dislike you.
-We even did good business together.
-Hmm.
But I can't get over my amazement.
You, Mariana's son.
Be grateful I didn't kill you as a baby.
But I learned a lesson.
I don't leave anything to fate anymore.
Save it and kill me already.
This time we agree on something, Joe.
No need to hurry. You will die, Joe.
But your mom needs to see it.
Here! We're here!
Here!
Here!
-Please help me.
-Don't worry.
Here!
Relax, are you okay?
Thank you, sir.
Dad, Mati!
-I'm so sorry.
-She wouldn't listen. Matilde!
Oh, honey.
Easy, Mati.
It's all right.
We're here, relax.
Mr. Alfredo!
I made you food for tonight and tomorrow,
I'm leaving for
Excuse me, Graciliano.
What did you see?
I don't know, nothing.
They just hit me,
blindfolded me, and tied me up.
How many were they?
-Three.
-Two.
Two. Yes, two.
What else do you remember?
I was at home waiting for the lady,
and some guys came in and tied me up.
They told me they'd kill me if I screamed.
Their faces, did you see them?
Miss, I'm so sorry
for having involved you in this,
but I was desperate.
I didn't know who to turn to.
-Relax.
-Maybe it's the men
who want to take your house.
We have to keep investigating
and find them.
No, it's better to leave it alone.
We almost got ourselves killed,
and I didn't even speak.
-Don't worry, we'll protect you.
-No.
I've caused you too much trouble already.
It's best if I move in
with my cousin in Villavicencio.
Mrs. Lina, you can't give in
to those people.
The magazine was created
to be a voice for those who need one.
Please, I just want to leave.
I'm really thankful that you want to help,
but it's not worth it
to risk your life for me, okay?
Thank you so much, really.
Mrs. Lina, it doesn't have to end here.
We still have time to report this.
I just want to forget all of this
and get myself somewhere safe.
Thank you.
Okay.
We're leaving.
-Did they believe you?
-Yes, Rowdy, they believed me.
But organize it better next time.
How could you confuse them? Huh?
Shh
Calm down.
Calm down.
-Such a great job.
-Oh, don't bug me.
I don't know why, but I don't believe her.
How can you say that
after everything they did to us?
"Did to us?"
You mean what they did to you, Mati.
That woman was way too affected
for the amount of bruising she had.
Let's go. That's it.
That's it.
Careful.
-Hurry.
-Come.
Quickly.
My boy looks so handsome.
I wish your dad could see you.
He'd be proud of you.
But I know that, from Heaven,
he's making sure everything goes well.
I will speak to the Father.
See you in a bit.
Father!
-Do you have a minute?
-Of course, tell me.
Maura, how's it coming along?
Don't come here, you'll get dirty.
Everything is fine.
I know, Maura, but it's a special day
and I want it all to be perfect.
It will be perfect.
I told you I'd take care of it,
and I will.
-All right.
-Mariana!
-What is it, Father?
-Hi, Maura.
I know we're running a bit late,
but we're almost ready.
Late? What we have is a problem.
-What is it?
-Well
Apparently
Poor guy.
He's back there, with his head
But he's not the boss.
He's not the boss.
He has to show some respect.
Where the heck does this lead to?
No, sir.
I'm Alfredo Azcárate Valencia,
you have to respect me, damn it.
That's too much.
Where the heck am I going?
No, he can go to hell.
He messed with me,
he's abusive and a kidnapper.
Damn it.
-Honey.
-So? How do I look?
Um
-What is it? Don't you like it?
-No, but I have to tell you something.
What happened, Mom?
Tino canceled the wedding.
What?
Tino, wait! Tino!
Tino!
-We have to talk.
-About what?
I'm tired of talking.
Words are meaningless. It's enough.
-What's wrong with you?
-You know what's wrong with me.
-I stayed with Joe, it's true.
-Fine.
-But I didn't want to be with him or talk.
-But life brings you together again?
Tino, nothing important happened.
Actually, yes,
something important happened.
I was with him because I had to be,
and because I thought
it was a good idea to be clear
that it is you who I love.
And that I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.
You shouldn't force something
that doesn't come naturally.
Well
Look at me.
Look at me.
You know me.
Do you think that Sara Benítez Azcárate
will do something she doesn't want to?
For what? For a party?
-For appearances' sake?
-To spare me.
Sure, I don't want to hurt you
because I love you.
You know what I'm talking about.
Oh, Tino, please.
When will you understand
that it's not my mom's time?
She was forced to get married.
I want to get married.
If I wanted to marry Joe,
I would be marrying Joe.
But no, I want to marry you.
I know you love me.
-But what happened with him
-What happened with him
was important and strong, yes.
I will never deny that.
But like I told Joe, he's my past.
You're my present and also my future.
He can't force me not to love you,
and you can't force me not to talk to him,
or care about him.
But it hurts.
I know.
I know.
That's why it's important
to clear this up before we get married.
Because we'll be together.
We'll walk together side by side.
But there will be many unpleasant things
that we'll have to deal with.
Like
for example,
having all your law books and papers
lying around the whole house,
or having to put up
with your two-hour-long phone calls,
taking your interviews.
I love you with all my heart.
But I don't want to marry a man
who doesn't believe me.
I don't get it.
The wedding is in two hours,
and it's all crumbling down.
-You should have some tea.
-Thanks, Maura.
Thanks! Mariana.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this,
but Joaquín hasn't made it to El Búcaro.
He's nowhere to be found.
-What?
-Yes.
-Why? What could've happened?
-I don't know.
Here. Have this.
Now you have to make the choice
of either accepting me the way I am or
I don't know where they could be.
It's strange that he hasn't arrived.
Father, I'm so sorry.
We have another problem.
I think we'll have to cancel.
-Really? Why?
-No!
Oh! There he is! They're here!
Honey, I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry we're late.
-What happened?
I'm sorry, Mariana, it was my fault.
Okay, we're all here,
so please, let's begin.
Fine, I'll get dressed.
-You look beautiful.
-Yes.
The problem is that Tino
called off the wedding.
They didn't, apparently, there they are.
So sorry, we're here now.
I think that getting married
with the kids wasn't a great idea.
We're all set.
All right, 20 minutes, we'll get ready,
and we'll start the ceremony.
-Okay!
-Thanks!
Don't worry.
Almost didn't make it, huh?
Here we go, sir. Just in time.
I can't believe
that life is giving me the opportunity
to see my son get married.
And see him so happy.
-God does exist.
-So does justice.
Joaquín.
Thanks.
For so much love and loyalty.
Thank you for your honesty.
I want you to know
that you'll always be a part of my life.
Of course.
You're my daughter's father.
How do I look?
-You look beautiful, Mom.
-You too.
Thank you so much.
-You know what?
-What?
I love you.
I love you too.
-Are you ready?
-Of course, ready.
Let's go.
Yes.
Oh, you both look so pretty.
-Thanks.
-Thanks, Maura.
Mrs. Mariana, phone for you.
-Who is it?
-I don't know, they said it was urgent.
Go, I'll be right there.
Thanks.
Hello?
Mariana.
The love of my life.
It's always a pleasure to hear your voice.
What do you want, Rogelio?
I couldn't not call you
on such a special day for you.
Sure
I have to admit I'm a little offended
that you didn't invite me to the wedding.
I won't let you ruin this moment.
Don't hang up, please,
I don't want to ruin your wedding.
On the contrary.
I have a very special wedding gift.
Listen.
-Joe?
-Don't listen to him, Mariana!
Where's Mariana? Shouldn't she be here?
What? That's impossible.
Yes, it's possible. I have your son.
Rogelio, let him go.
Oh, Mariana, you can't make me.
I'm warning you.
Stop giving orders and warnings,
you're in no position to do so.
Just listen very carefully, hmm?
If you want to see your son alive,
cancel that stupid wedding right now.
One thing
Nobody can find out about this call
or what's going on.
Rogelio, you're sick.
I want you to know I hate you.
Instead, I love you with all my being,
I swear.
I still love you with all my being.
But this is serious,
and it's just between us.
If anyone finds out, I will kill him.
-What do you want me to do?
-That's better.
If you want to see your son alive,
you must come.
Alone. Hmm?
I don't care what the hell you say,
but you're canceling that wedding now.
Don't do it!
Rogelio, don't hurt him.
Don't do anything to him.
You know how things work with me, right?
What's going on?
Mariana, I know it's not a good time,
but it's about your dad.
I don't know where he is.
I'm scared he could harm himself.
Mom.
Mom!
Mom, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Mariana, honey, what's wrong?
Joaquín, forgive me,
but I can't get married now.
Why? What happened?
Father, I'm sorry, we have to cancel it.
-What's wrong?
-Mom, what happened?
Mariana, please, what happened?
But this is serious,
and it's just between us.
If anyone finds out, I will kill him.
My dad is missing.
My grandfather is missing?
-Yes.
-Okay, let's calm down.
Where did you hear about this?
Your dad just told me.
Yes, I looked for him but he's nowhere.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
We have a very serious problem
and we'll have to take a pause.
We'll be back.
Is everything okay?
My grandpa is missing.
What do we do?
Wait.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
Primitiva, are you all right?
Lay back.
-I'm sorry, Joaquín.
-Mariana, relax.
Calm down. What happened?
I'm sorry, Joaquín,
I can't get married to you right now.
-Is something wrong with your dad?
-Mr. Alfredo
I was looking after him
because he has alcohol issues.
He tried hurting himself the other day
and he escaped this morning.
Why didn't you tell me earlier, Dad?
-It was a personal issue.
-Personal issue?
Joaquín, I know this is unfair,
but don't doubt for a second
how much I love you, please.
No, I will never doubt you, Mariana.
But apparently, your dad will always
interfere with our happiness.
I know
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I have to talk to Sara.
Excuse me.
Guys.
-I want to apologize.
-What happened to Grandpa?
Graciliano said he's lost,
he's had drinking problems,
and that he could hurt himself, perhaps.
Then we need to go look for him now.
Yes, but we have to cancel everything.
Sure, of course we will.
I spoke with Tino
and if you're not getting married,
neither are we.
-Don't worry.
-Oh, forgive me.
Relax, Mom, it's not your fault.
Thank you for understanding.
I didn't want to tell you
because it's a complicated subject,
but I do prefer to marry
with Grandpa here.
Let's go tell the guests.
Let's go.
Tino.
Primitiva is sick.
What happened?
Nothing, honey, I'm
I'm tired.
But
it must be all the hustle and bustle
of the last few days.
But don't worry, I
That's all it is.
-Should I call a doctor?
-No.
No. What about the ceremony?
It's canceled, Mr. Alfredo is missing.
No, honey, you can't cancel it.
-There's nothing we can do, it's canceled.
-No.
Don't do this to me.
I wanted to see you get married,
and start your own family.
I've thought about grandchildren
and everything.
Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?
You should tell me what's wrong.
I don't have a lot of time, honey.
Why do you say that?
It's nothing.
-Mom stuff.
-Tell him the truth.
Josefina.
Look at you.
You can't hide it much longer.
What is it? What's going on?
Well
I've been, for some time now,
having heart problems.
And it's gotten worse lately.
It must be
all these emotions combined.
Did you see a doctor?
She hasn't for a while now.
He never says anything new,
he always says the same thing.
What is the same thing?
That my heart is not well
and that there's not much left to do.
That it's only getting worse
and the only thing
that could save me is a miracle.
Thank you so much for coming.
Our apologies.
-I'll reach out when I hear from my dad.
-Don't worry, keep us posted.
-Thanks.
-Thanks for coming.
Thank you for coming and understanding.
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-Goodbye.
Mrs. Mariana.
Mr. Alfredo was in a cabin
ten kilometers north of here.
From there, he could've taken
the highway to Cali,
and if he went downriver,
he could be on the road to Buenaventura.
Graciliano, do you really think
he could hurt himself?
It's hard to know with your dad.
But I'll talk to the workers.
I'll have them search the whole area.
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
I can go look for him in Cali with my car.
Most of his relatives are there.
Yes, I'll also report it to the police.
-See you.
-Thanks.
-Mati, will you come with me?
-Sure.
I'm going to help my dad
with Mr. Alfredo's search.
Relax.
We'll find him.
Mariana.
Are you sure there's nothing else
you want to tell me?
No.
