A NETFLIX SERIES
LOVE OF MY LIFE
I told you.
I told you, I warned you,
my boy needs protection!
They would try to kill him.
But this is some game to you.
-I explained already.
-No, sir!
Does he have to get killed?
Thanks to this young lady,
we're not claiming his body
at the morgue right now. Huh?
I demand police protection for my boy now!
May I speak, ma'am?
I'm really sorry about everything,
but he published reports
against some people
without bringing it to a judge.
There's a process.
The proof is right in front of you
but you do nothing.
I don't come up with the procedure,
but if you report him,
a judge will lead the investigation.
With the threats and the attack,
we have proof to act.
Act?
Can you assure me
that the report will work?
It's up to you to believe
in our institutions or not.
My son will report this.
Right, Tino?
Here is the evidence against
Senator Benjumea and alias Panelita.
I have the originals.
I'll now give this to a judge
who will take on the case.
In the meantime
I suggest you leave the city.
Excuse me.
-Good afternoon.
-Goodbye.
Tino, we could go to El Búcaro.
Nobody will look for us there.
I won't go.
They won't get that satisfaction.
We knew this job was risky from the start.
-We won't run in fear now.
-You should do as they say this time.
-You almost got killed.
-I don't care.
If we drop this,
the authorities will relax and do nothing.
We need to apply media pressure.
Tell him he's crazy.
I'm sorry, Lucy,
but I strongly agree with Tino.
You're crazy.
Primitiva, say something, please.
Primitiva.
I'm sorry, but I'm not risking
my life for a magazine.
Neither mine nor my family's,
you should think about them.
Lucy, I understand your position.
You can go, it's not a problem.
We'll wait for it all to settle,
and if you want to return,
the doors are open.
Thanks, boss! So thoughtful of you.
Thanks for your support.
Don't think I'm not scared.
But it comforts me to know
that we're in this together.
Sister, you're needed
in patient Arnoldo's room.
Um I'm coming.
Okay, thanks.
Thanks.
Rogelio!
Rogelio, come here. What happened?
What were you?
Your wound is open. Come on.
Up!
Up
Up.
Up
Up.
Surprise.
This is the only way
that I can be alone with you.
We haven't talked in two days.
-I've been caught up.
-Lucy is here from Cali,
-she's in trouble for the magazine.
-I heard they reported
-really dangerous people.
-Mm-hmm.
The police are on it now.
We still need to be alert.
Parents never take a break.
Do you have five minutes
to have breakfast with me?
Of course.
These peaceful moments are important.
Don't you think?
Do you remember when we used
to spend all night watching the stars?
I can't even
remember what the sky looks like.
Let's take these moments for us.
Don't you think it's time
for us to live the lives
we've always dreamed of?
What do you mean?
Let's live together.
Don't you want to?
Yes! Yes, I really do.
With all that's been going on, it's easy
to lose sight of what matters, right?
Of us.
If you want, I'll ask Ángel
to prepare the house
and you can bring
all the furniture you want.
No, I was thinking
we should move to La Victoria.
No, I'd rather not.
-It was your house for 20 years.
-Yes, until they tried to kill me.
I spoke to my dad
and he said he had nothing to do
with what happened to you,
Joe, and me 20 years ago.
-He gave me his word.
-No.
No, Mariana.
I don't want to talk about this.
I won't live on your ranch.
I can't leave La Victoria, Joaquín!
You won't, we're neighbors!
I can't abandon my dad just like that! He
You won't change my mind.
Thanks for breakfast.
I'm Tino Domínguez
and this video is my life insurance.
Yesterday, I gave the police
the proof in my investigation
linking Senator Benjumea
and drug trafficker, alias Panelita.
I don't know how the investigation
or the reports will evolve,
that's why I want to use this space
to highlight them,
and to leave a record
in case something were to happen to me.
Yesterday,
I was attacked.
If it hadn't been for a brave woman
who stood between me and the killer,
I wouldn't be telling you this story.
She's my partner,
she's always supported me,
always rooted for me,
and has become
the most important woman in my life.
You don't have to say that.
It's the truth.
Listen. Right now,
the most important thing is the evidence.
And that people hear the truth.
And that the media
and the accused feel pressured.
I know,
but I wanted to take this opportunity
to say how I feel about you.
You saved my life.
It was a reflex.
It doesn't matter.
It means a lot to me.
I know it's hard for you
to express how you feel.
And I'm aware that these past few months
have been complicated
-and confusing.
-Tino, I care about you.
I always have
and I have no problem saying it.
You do?
Tell me again.
-Don't be silly.
-I'm not silly.
I'm just a man who's in love with you.
And I can wait my whole life
for you to say you love me.
You don't have to wait your whole life.
Because I love you.
Hello, Mr. Diego.
Joe! Come here!
You should go to Maura to clean that.
To aid you.
Calluses will form in two days
and the pain will be gone.
Then have this so it doesn't open up more.
Where are the workers from El Búcaro
who were coming to help?
We still haven't signed
the contract between the estates.
So who better than the owners
to work the land?
Are things complicated with Joaquín?
I heard you arguing.
I don't want my presence in the estate
to be a problem, Mariana.
No, Joe.
You're not a problem at all.
Your dad and I have wounds
that go very deep.
And they don't heal like your hands,
which get calluses and stop hurting.
Sometimes I think I'm destined
to end up alone in this estate.
You will never be alone, Mariana.
Never.
Excuse me.
Here is the contract
with all the clauses we agreed on
for our partnership with La Victoria.
Your signature is needed to begin planning
for the next semester's cane harvest.
What's that look?
Your mind is elsewhere.
I have a lot of things
to figure out, Carla.
No. I know you pretty well.
That look has nothing to do
with professional matters.
You'd have that look when thinking
about coming to Colombia.
It's about revenge.
I just can't forget, Carla.
I can't forget.
I don't know what to do. I
can't find the peace to move on.
I know, Joaquín.
I know what you've been through.
I know it's very hard.
But don't forget
that it was the same feeling
that pulled you away from Lucy and me.
Now you could lose Mariana and Joe.
What can I do? Huh?
It's a feeling that I can't control.
You have to!
Are you going to stay
this way for days, months, years?
Life goes by.
And we need to move on.
We have to focus on the things we can fix.
Focus on the present.
That's why it's important
that you check this contract and sign it
because we have a very important
meeting tomorrow at La Victoria
with Mariana.
Hmm?
Excuse me.
What is the patient taking?
The doctor prescribed
a mild sedative
to help control anxiety attacks.
He gets a little violent sometimes.
But he's been calm lately,
more at ease,
and more receptive to the word of our God.
Right, Rogelio?
Oh!
It's okay, relax!
Relax! Grab his legs! Grab his legs! Now!
Easy Easy. Shh
Okay, okay!
Calm down, easy.
We have to get the doctor!
I think the dose of the sedative
they gave him is too high.
Yes, ma'am.
Okay, I will
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
I know nothing is clear right now
and that you have a lot of mixed feelings,
but you can trust me.
I actually had something on my mind.
You need a new mattress.
Sara.
Someday we'll have to have a serious talk.
I'd like for it to be now.
Because I want it to work out.
Sure, why don't we
keep silent
right now?
And the future?
Do we have a future?
I think we have the present.
That's what matters.
You and I
here
now.
A new mattress.
Is it really that awful?
For sleeping yes. It is, frankly.
Then let's use it for other things.
-Oh, really?
-Mm-hmm.
I drafted this contract taking
into account everything
we've been discussing these past weeks.
The purveyors are waiting for my call
to start delivering
all the pesticides, fertilizers,
and there's a group of workers
who have worked on other sugar plantations
who can travel at a moment's notice.
That sounds perfect.
Okay.
We're just missing your signature.
You haven't signed?
Joaquín, I asked you
to sign the other day.
I have a condition before signing.
Why didn't you tell me back then?
Why are you telling me now?
It has to do with you, Mariana.
It's Alfredo Azcárate's name
that shows up in this document,
as the head of the contract.
My dad is the owner of the estate.
I know, but
I want this contract to be signed
only by you and me.
Without your dad involved.
We're risking everything, Joaquín.
You're adding conditions
right before we sign?
Mariana
I didn't know I had a son a few days ago.
Or that Rogelio was responsible
for everything that happened 20 years ago.
You're mixing everything up.
I can't separate my personal life
from what happened
and keeps happening on this land.
-What are you trying to get at?
-I want you to wake up, Mariana.
We can't act like nothing happened.
-Who's denying what happened?
-You are!
Ever since our son showed up,
you've lost all interest in the truth,
in looking for those responsible.
And this is the way to do it?
Closing down the estates?
I waited 20 years
to finally find my son and be with you,
and you're full of hate.
It won't let us be together!
Can't you see you're becoming
an enemy of happiness?
I'm sorry if that's how you see it.
I'm sorry
I can't shake this feeling in my chest
that things aren't right.
-But why?
-Because it's the truth, Mariana!
It's the truth!
Look,
my dad was able to forgive yours.
I'm ashamed not to measure up to him,
but I can't.
I can't forgive him, Mariana.
Then I think it's best
if we each go our own way.
-No!
-Joaquín is right.
Twenty years ago, when I heard
that you were pregnant, I asked Benítez
to do the impossible to separate you.
I also asked him
to make that boy disappear.
Rogelio
Rogelio.
A little less.
Yes, less.
Less
Be still.
Be still.
Very good
Good!
I didn't know then
what Benítez was capable of.
Now I know
that he's the most despicable
human being in the world.
Of course, that doesn't absolve me
of the responsibility I carry
for having made you suffer so much.
And for keeping quiet like a coward
all these years.
Please forgive me.
I'm so sorry, my child.
If you want to say something,
now is the time.
I won't waste my time
telling you what I think.
Having told the truth is enough for me,
thank you.
Now I want to know
everything about Rogelio.
I just told you.
No, I don't want to know what happened.
-I want to know where he is.
-I don't know.
I just know there's a nun,
a Sister Marina, or something,
who helps him, and takes care of him.
Jazmín?
Latest news.
Senator Benjumea
was captured by the police
when he was about to leave his home.
This capture adds to that
of his supposed partner, alias Panelita.
Both are accused of racketeering
to send drug shipments
to the United States.
These arrests
come as a result of the report
filed by independent journalist
Tino Domínguez,
who conducted an in-depth investigation
into the drug trafficking
affecting our region.
Drug trafficking
is a threat to our region.
If not stopped promptly, it will become
our country's future scourge.
I seem a bit inexperienced,
don't you think?
No! Not at all.
On the contrary, we're very proud of you.
Right, Primitiva?
Okay.
Hello?
Oh Mr. Roberto, how are you?
-He's gotten in enough trouble.
-Roberto.
Yes.
All right. Yes, sir. I'll tell him.
What happened?
It was Mr. Roberto Angarita.
He needs you urgently
and is coming here in a bit.
Who knows what he's up to now.
Rogelio
Let's have some soup first
and then we're going for a walk
since it's beautiful out there.
Beautiful.
That's it.
Good.
Very good.
Every decision I made in my life,
I was convinced
that it was the best for you.
To secure you a peaceful future.
With no suffering.
A beautiful life.
But I was wrong.
All I've brought to this family and you
is one tragedy after another.
I know it's useless, but
I'm sorry.
Yes, it's useless.
I understand.
No, you don't understand anything.
You have no idea
what you've done.
What I lived through.
And the years I lost.
You have no idea.
If that's how it is
I think it's better if I go.
Even if for a short while
Yes, it's better if you go.
Thiago, I have to confess
that I'm impressed.
All the media outlets in the Valley
are mentioning your name.
Thanks, man.
I told you, Roberto.
The risk was worth it.
All those who are corrupt
will tremble with our reports.
Let's toast to that.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
Nevertheless,
I think we need to find
a media outlet with greater reach.
Radio?
Television.
The evening news wants to offer you a job.
No.
Giving in to television
is losing your independence.
We're a small magazine,
but we do what we want uncensored.
We have complete editorial control.
Let me finish before you say no.
Go ahead.
The news director assured me
that he won't change anything.
He loves your essence, in fact.
They say they want
the same kind of research
but in audiovisuals.
I love it.
Too good to be true.
Well, I think we should listen
to their proposal.
Television definitely has a wider reach
than any written media.
We could reach every part of the country.
You should think about it.
All right. But on one condition.
If I'm going to listen to that job
proposal, just listen to it,
it'll be on the condition
that I put together my own team.
If you don't work with me,
I won't take it.
Of course I will.
No need to say more.
I'll let you know
once I schedule the meeting.
Thanks.
We have to be very careful with her
because she has many anxiety attacks.
-I'm sorry, but
-Sir, I
-I can't let you in, sir.
-Excuse me.
Okay, Jorge, relax! Please, Mr. Mosquera!
Do you know him?
This man is a murderer
and is on the run from the law.
I'm sure that Sister Marina
knows where he is.
He's here.
I Wait!
You have to calm down, sir.
Mr. Mosquera, wait.
Calm down, calm down!
Sister!
Sister!
Oh! Help!
Help, help!
I will understand
if you want to stay at the estate.
Alfredo,
do you think that after all of this
I am going to abandon you?
Let me tell you
that what you did was brave.
There's nothing brave
about ruining my daughter's life.
No.
But it was brave to admit it.
Also, who am I to judge you?
I was there 20 years ago.
I took Mariana to the convent.
Following orders.
Yes
but I could've refused.
Mariana will never forgive me.
Oh, Alfredo, give her time.
That's what I don't have. Time.
Alfredo,
you're not a bad person.
I'm a bad person, and I deserve
everything that happens from now on.
Mr. Alfredo!
It's all true, Graciliano.
Graciliano!
My goodness, Alfredo. How dare you?
It's okay, okay.
-You'll regret this
-I'm fine!
Anything else?
Rogelio is definitely sick in the head.
We have to do everything to stop him.
Yes, the police
are looking for him in the area.
They say he's injured and under
the influence of a sedative.
I don't understand why we can't
live in peace already.
I'm mostly worried about Sara now.
Can I help with that?
Close your eyes.
-My eyes?
-Yes, close your eyes.
Why? Are you going to surprise me?
-Don't cheat.
-No.
No cheating.
I'm not looking.
I'm watching you.
I'm watching you
I'm not looking.
Now?
What?
-Paper?
-Mm-hmm.
Oh, wait.
-Now?
-Mm-hmm.
Let's pretend we're in different cities.
And you get this letter from me.
You'll read it
and take your time to respond.
Okay.
But why here?
Because we built this place together.
For you. Remember?
Yes, I remember.
-Can I open it now?
-Yes.
"Sara, marry me."
"I want to spend
the rest of my days by your side."
You don't have to answer now.
Remember we're in different cities.
Send me your response in a letter.
In a couple of days.
Hmm?
Just like we built this place,
I want us to build many things together.
Think about it.
I have to talk to Joe now. It's important.
Okay.
Tino,
I won't answer just yet
if I'll marry you or not
-because we're in different cities.
-Uh-huh.
But in the meantime,
I think you should kiss me
the way I deserve, no?
-Hi, Joaquín, how are you?
-Hi.
Hi!
-Josefina is in the kitchen.
-I'm not looking for Josefina.
I have to talk to you, Sara.
With me? What is it? Tell me.
I don't have good news.
It's pretty delicate, it's about
Jazmín.
How is she? What happened?
She was murdered.
What do you mean she was murdered?
Who? What?
What happened to her? How?
-It all
-Who killed her?
It looks like it was Benítez.
Sister Jazmín came to this world
to bring others happiness.
Even above her sacrifice and her own pain.
Let's pray
that our Lord in His infinite mercy
receives her in His arms
and thanks her on our behalf
for her sacrifice and immense kindness.
Amen.
Amen.
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 today our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass
against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
According to the latest
Intelligence reports,
Mr. Rogelio Benítez was last seen
at the bus terminal in the city of Cali.
At the time they saw him,
three buses left for different cities.
One for Pasto, the other for Buenaventura,
and one for Bogotá.
And?
And I have several officers
in those cities
working on tracking down
this criminal's whereabouts.
I don't think you'll find him.
Mrs. Mariana,
we're doing what we can.
I know, but
no matter how hard we try,
it's just never enough, no?
None of us will be able to sleep
peacefully while Rogelio is free.
At minimum,
I have a whole team of officers
who are looking
into this bastard's whereabouts.
Sure, thank you for coming, Chief.
I hope it's better news next time.
It will be.
-Excuse me.
-Thanks.
Thanks.
We're leaving.
Aren't you going to say goodbye
to your dad?
No.
Joaquín
Take care of her, please.
Are you sure you won't say goodbye?
Yes. I'm sure.
Valerian and chamomile.
Maura says it's great for the nerves.
Yes it works.
But nothing better
than good company, right?
I'm trying.
It's very hard to understand
what's going through Sara's mind now.
I don't think
it's important to understand her,
because we each process pain differently.
I think it's important
that she knows she can count on you.
How is she?
-How's Sara doing in Cali?
-Great!
We're going to start working together,
but I don't know
what will happen after all this.
Well, she seems to be doing well there.
Especially if she keeps her mind busy.
Sure.
The magazine is going well.
I heard you were dealing
with very dangerous people.
Yes
Anyway, that's all been resolved,
they're detained now.
We have to be careful anyway.
I assure you I'll take good care of her.
More than my own life.
I adore your daughter.
And Joe? How is it going with Joe?
Fine.
I guess.
Well, I'll take this.
-Excuse me.
-Yes.
How are you?
Sara, you can tell me how you feel.
Sara.
Sara.
I feel like all I ever do
is escape my life, Joe.
I feel like
all I do is escape my reality.
Jazmín was my mom.
And I never did anything
to try and get close to her,
to get to know her,
to see how she felt.
What she needed.
Instead, I left. Looking for what?
A life that's not mine.
You did what you felt, Sara.
What you thought was best for you.
But I'm tired of wasting my time.
I'm tired of practicing.
And going from one place to the next
not knowing what I want or what I need.
Making up excuses to avoid my truth.
That's what I've been doing.
Evading my reality, my life.
But your life is here.
This is your home.
This is your land.
Your family is here, Sara.
You don't have to escape
from anything because
you have it all here.
No, I can't
I can't stay here.
Yeah?
Well, if you want to get away and think,
I can set up a trip.
We'll go to the beach together.
And when we return
we'll give us a chance to do things right.
No, Joe.
Sara
A lot has happened these past few days.
Mariana
offered me to be part of the family.
And officially bear
the Mosquera Azcárate surname.
I finally belong to a place
in this world, Sara.
And I want you to be part of this world.
But I'm leaving for Cali.
What for? To be in Tino's magazine?
Yes.
Well, then I can give you a ride
and pick you up each day,
-it's no problem.
-Joe, listen.
Look
I made the decision to go to Cali because
I'm giving myself a chance with Tino.
A chance for what?
You two
-are?
-Yes.
Oh, okay
Look, we decided
to give ourselves a chance
now that I have my future clear,
and I want to focus more on photography,
-as well as my career.
-Yes, and I was a waste of time.
I didn't say that.
So what then? Are you playing with me?
Or playing with both of us?
Remember, I was invested in our love,
and all I got in return
were disappointments.
And I'm the only one who pays for it,
right?
You always made me look like the bad guy
when you're as bad if not worse than me.
You're still the same idiot.
You'll never change.
Sara.
You don't only stand me up,
you also leave me talking to myself.
Don't talk to her like that.
What?
Protecting your woman?
-Or mine?
-Careful with what you say.
She's nobody's property,
and how we feel isn't an issue.
But it's your problem
if you're a liar and a traitor.
Did you forget that you recently
held me and said we'd still be brothers?
What for?
To stab me in the back?
You're perfect for each other. Fine.
-Joe.
-Kiss him.
Tino, no!
Okay. Calm down. Come on. No!
Don't fight, please! Stop!
Come on, stop! Let him go, Joe!
Let him go!
Let him go! Leave us alone already!
-You and I aren't brothers anymore.
-Let him go.
-Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm fine.
