Malena Carregal and Marcos Gutierrez,
the famous planners...

[water splashing]

NO OXYGEN HERE

[cell phone ringing]

Call from Javi's School

[ringing stops]

Hello?

[Malena] I don't understand.

Look at your eye.
Could you explain to me what happened?

[Javier] I'm fine, Mom. Nothing happened.

[Malena] You're not fine. You're not.

Did you at least defend yourself?

-Who hit who first?
-[Javier] You can't think like that.

-Think like what?
-It's ridiculous.

[Malena] I'm asking. How did it happen?

Okay, you won't talk.

-What happened?
-Nothing.

-We didn't all need to be here. Enough!
-I asked you what happened.

He got into a fight with Luna's boyfriend
and almost got suspended.

Did he defend himself? Who hit who first?

Come on, Marcos. You can't ask that.
You really can't.

Sorry. Can we talk nicely?
-I'm... Are you serious?
-Yes.

You want me to talk nicely

after you involved me in a riot
with your friends?

-And you laugh in my face?
-Now it's my fault?

[Marcos] You know that's not how it was.

-How was it?
-It was Tapia's fault.

You didn't have anything to do with it?

[Ale] I have nothing to do
with that stupidity.

My friend Marcos Gutierrez didn't either.
He's a great guy.

And he's being harassed for no reason.

[reporter] Depositions are expected
from the drug party's organizers,

Marcos Gutierrez and Malena Carregal.

[Marcos] Bye.

-Answering you isn't worth it.
-Have a good day.

[footsteps approaching]

[door opens]

I'm sorry, but I swear
he brings out the worst in me.

Did he buy a convertible?

Your dad is such a cliché.

He won't take responsibility.
That's what bothers me...

-Mom, I told you I don't care.
-I won't say anything. That's it.

Okay, will you tell me what happened?

Luna's boyfriend thought
I had a thing with her. That's all.

Luna's boyfriend?
I didn't know you two broke up.

When did that happen?

-Mom, don't pry.
-I don't mean to pry.

I had to come down here
and beg them not to suspend you

five minutes before you finish
junior high. Is that fair?

Now you're lecturing me.

Lecturing? Javier, be nice.

Stop busting my ba*ls. Enough.

Get out if you're going to talk that way.

-Huh?
-Get out of the car.

[clicks tongue, sighs]

[Malena] Come here, Javier. Come...

-Javier!
-[Javier sighs]

Javier, come here.

Javier.

[cell phone vibrates]

Malena

Cali, I have a job for you,
given your knowledge about horses.

Okay, Male. I'll call you in a bit.

[cell phone beeps]

[cell phone vibrates]

Berta Madrid

Have you seen it?

POLO PLAYER INVOLVED
IN GAMBLING MAFIA

[cell phone vibrates]

Berta Madrid

Girl, this is crazy.
We have so much to talk about.

f*ck, aren't you tempted
by Selena's invitation?

Get a ticket to Madrid for a few days.
Stop overthinking it.

[calculator beeping]

[clicks tongue]

[sighs]

Dear brother,
it will be quite a party.

I have so much to tell you.
Abel

WHEN DO WE LEAVE - I'M HUNGRY
I'M IN THE WAREHOUSE

[chuckles]

[Mr. Liberman] Kevin, ready to go home?

[Mr. Liberman sighs]

Are you hungry?
Do you want me to make something?

[Malena] Mmm. I'm fine.

I'm going to the bathroom
for a second. Okay?

-[Ivan] Yes, go ahead.
-Excuse me.

[exhales]

[sighs]

Ulises?

ULISES

[water running]

EVERY WEDNESDAY 10:00 PM
DEON ENSEMBLE

Manuel told me
that the catering will be high-end.

Yes, it's excellent. A great kosher chef.

No, "kasher."

-"Kasher."
-[both laugh]

We were at my nephew's bar mitzvah,

and there were issues
with the catering and agency.

No, dear. That was an insult, sorry.

Eat this sandwich with pineapple.
It's delicious.

My son doesn't talk to us.

He talks to me. He won't talk to you.

I want to thank you for coming.

Please.

Um... [sighs]

We're putting a lot of effort
into this party.

Yes, leave it if you don't like it.

It's no problem. You don't have to.

Look.

This is Abel, Manuel's brother.
He's very religious.

He lives in Israel and is ultraOrthodox.

Manuel has been trying to impress him
his entire life.

Sometimes I feel like
he's lost his bearings a little.

In fact, I found out

that he sold a watch
that belonged to his grandfather.

-A valuable antique piece of jewelry.
-Mmm.

How do you feel I could help you?

I need you to talk to him.

To whom?

To my husband.
Maybe he'll listen to you more than me.

No, no. No.

I can give you advice about the event.

Other than that, it's not right
for me to interfere in personal matters.

Do you know what's happening?

[shakily] My son isn't speaking to us.

[inhales sharply]
He leaves us notes like this.

Sometimes I feel like
I'm at the edge of insanity.

Children can be mysterious.

Maybe you need to be a little patient

and give them space to express themselves.

[Mrs. Liberman sighs]

About the other matter,
I'll simplify some things.

Thank you.

[jazz music playing]

[music continues]

-[Malena] How lovely.
-[Ulises] See?

[Malena] I love it.

[Ulises] I love this place.
I'm a Wednesday regular.

[Malena] Wednesdays? [chuckles]

-He's our manager. The guy with the hat.
-Yes.

-Piano player, manager, bartender.
-Nice.

[chuckling] He's taken me home drunk
more than once, too.

-[Malena] Perfect.
-What are you drinking?

A beer.

Could you give me two beers?

I don't know if we sound good,

but I can assure you
that we have character.

You have character. [chuckles]

I thought I was
only a future rabbi to you.

-Could be.
-[both laughing]

-Do you play an instrument?
-No.

I took some guitar lessons as a child,

but I was so bad that the teacher told me
I had no ear. So, no.

I would like piano.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Well, who knows?
-Who knows?

Well, it's starting.
Let's have dinner after?

We'll have dinner after.

-Cheers.
-Cheers. [chuckles]

[song ends]

[audience applauding]

[upright bass playing]

[piano, accordion playing]

[cell phone chimes]

New message from Andy
Your ex is a dumbass

What now?

They pulled us from the NGO bidding
because of the drug party.

[kisses] Hello, love.

How are you doing?

How's your eye? Let's see.

-Mmm.
-[Javier] Fine.

Does it hurt?

Fine. [sighs]

I'm watching a movie, Mom.

I think I've seen this movie.

Yeah, a few years ago.
It's not new, is it?

[Javier sighs]

-What?
-Watch it yourself.

No, no. What did I say? Come on, Javi. No.

Nothing's wrong, Mom.
I just want to be alone. That's all.

Okay, nothing's wrong.

[cell phone chimes]

[sighs]

Ulises
Well? I'll see you tomorrow?

Yes, of course.

MALENA CARREGAL

I understand he's your ex
and also your son's dad,

but you can't just let this slide.

I don't know why,
but you're reminding me of my mom.

[Andy laughs]

Have you heard from Cali?
I need to confirm the tech rehearsal.

Sorry, I don't mean to be a snitch,
but Cali sent me an email

with the number of wedding guests
for Andreoli-Sumpano,

and then she disappeared.

[Malena] Mmm.

Thank you, Sole.

[Ray] How's your belly?

[Clara] Fine. It's mutating. Am I showing?

[Ray] No, not at all.

I admire what you're doing, you know?

[Clara] What?

Cali
What about the horse?

[Ray] Having a baby.

I don't know.
Sometimes I'm not sure about things.

-How long have I known you?
-A long time.

-You can count on me for anything.
-Really?

-Money, too. Seriously.
-Ah, good. [chuckles]

-Clari.
-What?

Where's your friend?

-[Clara] What friend?
-Cali, Clari.

I don't know. Why?

She disappeared again.

-Anything else to sign?
-No.

It's all in cash, as you requested.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Ciao, Hércules.

-Keep this.
-[Cali laughs]

[Hércules whinnies]

-Thank you.
-If you need something, Cali, ask.

Thank you, Sanchéz.

[horses whinnying]

[cell phone vibrating]

[vibrating continues]

Incoming Call
Malena

[vibrating stops]

[knocks]

[knocks]

What are you doing here?

I came because your phone isn't working.

-What's going on, Malena?
-What's going on, Cali?

That's what I ask myself.
Is there something you want to tell me?

What's with the luggage?
You're going on a trip?

No, I'm organizing my clothes.
Did you come to monitor me?

Of course.

You disappear and you want us all
to act like it's nothing.

You want to know what I'm doing here?
I'm sincerely worried.

-Worried?
-Worried.

-You seem more like you're angry.
-Worried and angry. Yes, I'm both.

-And?
-And?

[Cali] So what?

I left everything almost in order.
I talked to Sole.

I need a little freedom.

I can't function this way.
I needed some time for myself.

I can't suddenly become a workaholic.

I work all day long.
It drains me. It happened too fast.

Workaholic? Do you live under a rock?

Get with it and stop navel-gazing,
because I'm fed up.

But I get it.

No, you don't.

I don't know.

I get the feeling

that this hasn't turned out
to be important to you.

-You're going to see him.
-What?

You are, after what he did to you.

You're enabling a toxic relationship.

What are you saying?
What's your problem with my ex?

-Do you want me to remind you?
-No, I don't.

Last week you told me that...
I'm going to remind you.

He's toxic and isn't good for you.
Now be offended.

-I don't like your tone, Malena.
-What tone?

You're always judging me.
It's hard for me to talk about this.

[Malena] What?

It's hard for me to talk about this.

You're Miss Perfect,
who has everything under control.

[Malena] Yeah, I've got it under control.

Plus, I can't tell you anything.

And you don't tell me anything.

I don't... Yes, I do. I told you.

We lost the NGO
because of Marcos the dumbass.

I told you. You didn't even react.
You were unfazed like you didn't care.

Excuse me? Like I don't care?

-It hurt me that we lost Free World.
-[scoffs]

Face Reality, Cali.

[Malena sighs]

Things happen to me too. Okay?

It's not all about you.

You tell me I'm toxic.

I said toxic relationship.

-What about you?
-What about me?

-And Marcos?
-What?

He shits all over you.
You do nothing about it.

I asked for a divorce.

And now?

He still shits on you.

Yep.

You became a liberated woman,

-but you're still oppressed.
-Well.

[exhales sharply]
There's no oxygen here, is there?

I'm hungry.

Everyone always made me feel
I wasn't needed.

I need you.

Yes.

And you're right about some things.

Not all of them, but some of them.

-You're keeping me intact.
-[scoffs]

Yes, you honestly are.

Everything will be fine,
but I need you to take it seriously.

Yes. I promise I won't disappear again.

Can you take me somewhere?

-Hmm?
-Mmm.

[Malena mutters]

[Malena] Here it is. Stop, stop, stop.

Wait, wait, wait.

[Malena shouting]

[Cali] Stop, stop, stop.

sh*t, come on.

-No, no.
-Let me get the other one, God.

Let me, please. [laughs]

No. [laughs]

Cali. [laughs]

Get in the car.

[both laugh]

[whistling]

What the f*ck?

[rabbi] Very well.
Concluding the bar mitzvah

for these three boys,

I'd like to ask some questions.

What does a bar mitzvah mean to you?

It means I need to fulfill the precepts.

What does it mean to you?

It means I'm responsible for my actions.

[rabbi] What does it mean
to be responsible for your actions?

Kevin, what does it mean?

From now on, I pray with the minyan.

[rabbi] Very good.

[door opens]

[footsteps approaching]

Is that my Abel?

Okay, let's conclude with prayer.

Please stand.

-Hello!
-Hello, Abel. [laughs]

Hello, Manuel.

This is Belén, my partner.

I'm Viviana, Abel's sister-in-law
and Manuel's wife. [chuckles]

-Welcome.
-Thank you. Pleased to meet you.

I've been with Belén for over a year.

-Ah.
-I've wanted to tell you for a while.

[chuckles] We're so happy you're here.
How exciting.

-That's my little nephew.
-Uncle!

[Abel, Kevin laugh]

[Abel] Come here. It was so beautiful.

-Excuse me.
-[Abel] So beautiful.

It was really beautiful. I loved it.

[Kevin] Thank you.

[guests chattering]

-I'm a little nervous.
-That's enough.

Come here with me, please. This way.

-Male.
-Yes, Sole. Copy.

They need you outside.
There's an issue with the horse.

Okay, copy. I'm coming.

[handler] It must be the music.

Maybe he'll calm down
if we keep petting him.

What happened? I thought he was docile.

But they're sensitive.
He had a problem in transit.

We were stopped on the highway
for an hour.

Ah.

[sighs]

Maybe it'll be safer
if he goes in with someone.

-[handler] Of course.
-I'll go in with him.

Do you want me to?

We have to do it this way.
Is that okay with you?

Yes, it is. Who do you want to go in with?

My dad.

With Dad. Dad.

[Malena chuckles]

Amsterdam was two years and then...

Berlin. Excuse me for a second.

Mother.

Mother, Mother.

You didn't say hi to me.

I was afraid you'd bite me.

[laughs]

Are you angry?

No. You've changed.

Yes, but I'm still the same.

I'm your son, right?

-Yeah?
-Yes.

Did you know that I love you?

Aw, yes.

Your mom doesn't care.

You shouldn't care either.

Manuel, Malena says we need you outside.

It's urgent.

Thank you.

Manuel, Kevin here had an idea.

Do you want to tell him? Go on.

I came from the magical room
that you envisioned. It's incredible.

You wanted to talk to me?

Relax.

The horse wasn't a good idea, Dad.

[Manuel] Kevin,

they said you want me to go in with you.

Would you like that?

[sighs]

[guests applauding, cheering]

[applause, cheering continues]

[guests chattering]

-[chuckles]
-You have no limit.

The sky is our limit.
Did you know that? [chuckles]

I'm sorry I had to go like that.

It's done.

If you want,
we can do something else another day.

I'd love that.

I'd love it too.

[guests cheering]

[pop song playing]

Ray.

I haven't seen Kevin anywhere. Have you?

Look for him.
I need him for the candle ceremony.

-Perfect.
-Let me know.

Man, can you play "Hava Nagila Hava"?

Can you play "Hava Nagila Hava"?

Give me that.

[pop song continues]

[pop song stops]

[upbeat traditional music starts]

[guests clapping]

[music continues]

[Manuel] Hey!

[Manuel] Hey, hey!

[clapping, cheering continues]

Malena.

[guest cheering]

What happened?

Someone's passed out.

[Ray] Andy?

Can you hear me?

I don't know what's wrong.
He's not responding.

Call an ambulance.
