01x05 - Renacer

[bunniefuu]

Regina's situation was not good at all.

No, it wasn't.

Her relationship with her patients,
these manchildren

triggered her deepest traumas.

And that was causing her
a lot of distress.

This abyss of sadness and desolation
made her throw in the towel.

You might wonder, "Why, Mister Angst?

Why is our brave heroine so distressed?"

She doesn't know what to do about,
what I personally consider,

her miserable life.

Come with me to see this sad story.

MANCHILD

There's no one here.

Did she leave the country? I need therapy!

I had a terrible nightmare.

No, my man. Nobody eats two plates
of Guerrero maize stew for dinner.

I get hungry when I'm stressed.

No, the problem
is that a dog is a man's best friend,

but a joint is a hungry man's best friend.

Yes, but come on! What we smoked
last night was too strong, bro.

I couldn't sleep.

I don't know if I was dazed or dizzy...

I don't know.

What happened to Regina?

-She's not there?
-No.

And you?
Are you coming from the IRS or what?

No, man, no.

In this folder,
I have an infallible method

to make women do everything we want.

Absolutely everything.

Again with your fake certificates?
Are you terminally ill now?

No. Of course not.

See,

in the world of flirting,

bouquets of flowers are outdated.

Out of fashion.

That's why they came up
with the bouquet of plots on the Moon.

We can't get them the Moon.

But what if we give it to them
piece by piece?

And you think you can convince Regina
to come back with that?

Please. If I can persuade
a bunch of women to sleep with me,

I can get a session with Regina.

Of course.

But why did Regina
break up with us over WhatsApp?

I mean, I've done it lots of times.

Now I know the real meaning of "karma"

is "that's what you get
for being an as*h*le."

Not even my Giovani went that far.

I don't think it's okay that she's doing
this to me. I mean, to us.

-Did any of you talk to Marcela?
-I did.

-And?
-She took the day off.

We won't solve anything standing here.

Especially not sober.

Andresito, let's go to your bar
to have a drink.

Hey!

Tony! It's ten in the morning. Come on!

In Paris, it's champagne time.

-Oui.
-Oui!

It's cool.

-Let's go.
-Come on.

-Víctor!
-Yes?

-Hey.
-What?

Let me have one of those plots.

Tony!

Do you know all you would have to do
for me to do that?

God! No, just forget it.

So? What are we going to do now?

What do you mean?

With therapy, man. Are we done?

No. No, it can't be over.

If it wasn't for Regina,
we wouldn't have met

and we wouldn't be here playing now.

You're not even playing.

I was never good at math.

I was more into dancing, singing.

I feel that Regina abandoned me,
like all the women in my life.

Of course not.

Regina wouldn't abandon us like this,
all of a sudden.

She's professional.

She's a smart woman, she's fun.
Besides, she gives good advice.

Did you notice when she gives advice,
she gets two cute dimples?

Right here.

-Here.
-You're a perv.

-Yeah.
-But you're right.

Something serious must've happened
for her to vanish like that.

Besides, girls, we're worse than ever.

You're still living at your parents',
and don't care about your daughter.

Aldo, darling.

You're not able to stay away
from excesses and fame.

And you, fatty,

you'll end up piercing your nose,
your lip, your nipple, your bellybutton,

even your glans just to feel something.

Vic.

Plots of land on the Moon? Seriously?

Are we going to let this sugar granddaddy,

an expert in toxic relationships,
keep insulting us?

-No.
-Or are we going to do something?

Exactly. Yes.

It's time to wear the trousers
and behave like real men.

Even you.

What are you doing here?

Are you planning another reunion?

No, I have the solution to your problems.

And believe me, after me,
you won't need Regina anymore.

-No?
-No!

What?

Don't say anything, I mean it. Enough.

I'm serious, I'm not going to write
that book. End of discussion.

So what if they sue me?
Let the publishing house sue me!

I'm not going to take care
of those aging hipsters.

I'm not anyone's mom.

I'm not! Don't judge me.

Don't you judge me.

You are supposed to make me feel better.

You're judging me!

I'm sorry.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Okay.

What do you want from me?

You want me to talk?
Of course, that's why you're here.

All right, then. I'll talk.

Here it goes.

But where do I begin?

We always play the same game.

Don't you feel like running?

No, wait. Girls don't do that.

Girls play with dolls.

What are you playing?

Oh, your girlfriend is here!

They're sweethearts!

-Can I play with you?
-No, you're a girl.

-So what?
-Girls don't know how to play.

It's not that I wanted
to wrestle with them,

or get a wedgie or run until I sweat.

No. I just wanted to know what it was like
to be rough, and play with them,

not to be treated as if I was fragile.

But they never let me.

Look, Regi, this is the "turbo soda."

Watch and learn.

Gross, you look like a guy.

And when you grow up,
you think it's all over, but it's not.

Surprise! It's not over.

Life is a continuation of school.

Did you pay the waiters?
They need an advance.

Goal!

Goal!

-What? What happened?
-The waiters, honey.

Well... You paid them already?
You had to pay them.

Are you serious?

The wedding is on Saturday.

Yeah, I know. Look.

Don't worry. I'll talk to them.
If they can't come, we'll have a buffet.

I only asked you for three things.

-Only three things!
-No, you don't ask.

You don't ask.
You command me to do things.

That's different,
and it makes me feel like...

-Like what?
-Nothing.

-How does it make you feel?
-No.

-No. Tell me.
-Enough, no.

-Tell me how it makes you feel.
-Enough.

-Tell me how it makes you feel, Gerardo.
-Leave it.

It makes me feel weird.

Every time I screw up,
you act as if you were my mom.

And you're not my mom.

I already have a mom.

-No, Rex. Rex!
-Right.

Rex!

Rex!

Rex!

What is this? Alcoholics Anonymous?

That's on Thursdays.

Okay, guys. No!

This circle of misfortune
is really depressing.

All rise! Come on!

Come on! Cheer up, guys!

As I told you, when I was young,

among my many professions,

I studied ontological biodecoding
and multi-healing coaching.

-No way.
-No. Yes way.

Very good.

You have to trust me.

Because, tell me,
where has all your work gotten you?

To this?

And you know why?

Because you've been told to get out
of your comfort zone.

And I ask myself, I ask you,

why get out of your comfort zone
when you should embrace it?

Embrace the comfort zone.

Don't tell me that when you buy a mattress
you choose the least comfortable one.

-No.
-No, gentlemen! No!

Let's... You can spread out.

You buy the most comfortable one
and start dreaming.

Because that's what we're here for.
To dream about our new life.

Because, remember, today is today.

And tomorrow...

is tomorrow.

And you've got to do
what you've got to do.

Exactly. You're enlightened.

So, the first thing we need to heal
is our perception

of ourselves.

Okay.

And in order to do that,
I'm going to need a mirror.

-Where is there one?
-In the bathroom.

Let's go!

Now, Andrés,

let it all out, let it out.
Speak to yourself.

Andrés.

You're slow and clumsy.

Your kids think you're an old geezer.

Your wife, well, your ex-wife,

treats you worse than a dog.

And your friends and colleagues
don't even invite you to their parties.

No. Andrés. Sorry, darling, but you're not
vibrating in the frequency of happiness.

What would you say if you were a winner?

Check it out.

What's up?

How are you, little man?

You're so fine, you're super handsome.

You're a damn stud, you're a god in bed.

You're like lightning
because you're powerful...

And it lasts three seconds.

What?

What's wrong, Andrés? Let it all out.

Andrés, you're a good guy.

And you have the buttocks of a golfer.

-Is that a good thing?
-Very good.

You're more or less attractive.

Thank you.

Guys, am I the only one
who thinks this is bullshit?

With that attitude,
you won't achieve anything, Víctor.

You have to let go.

Let go.

It feels good to let go.

You're not even a real therapist.

I'm sure you don't even know
what you're doing.

Okay, that's your opinion.

But I've helped lots of people.
Haven't I, Aldo?

Well...

What I offer is a more organic,
more hand-crafted service.

And I think what you need
is shock therapy.

Are you ready?

And for rushing things,
nothing is going the way I wanted.

Yes?

-Ready, honey.
-Oh, Mom.

-Here.
-Thank you.

-Is this the one?
-Yes... Thank you.

Who were you talking to?

Mister Angst.

I'll never regret taking you
to therapy with Doctor Burbuja.

-You invited him, right?
-Of course.

Because he called me and told me
he never got the invitation.

Neither did your aunts from Celaya.

I...

I told Gerardo that he was
in charge of the invitations.

No!

No, no.

Honey...

Honey, calm down.

Today is supposed to be
the happiest day of...

Yes. The happiest day of my life.
I know. But I feel...

I'm just getting married
because it's the next step.

Regina, is this because
of the invitations?

No, Mom.

No, it's because...

Since I was a little girl,

I've always thought all this was stupid.

Actually, every time I saw women
in a white dress, like princesses,

I thought they were dumb.

And now, I'm the one dressed in white.

And I love how I look.

-I love it.
-Yes.

And today I believe in love.

And I really hope

that once we are married,
everything will change.

But I also need to be responsible.

Because, to be happy,
I have to be responsible.

And Gerardo's not a responsible person.

So what are you going to do?

I'll get married. If I had
the courage to put this on,

he'll have the courage to change, right?

And if he doesn't, I'll make him change.

I had to put up with my aunts
handing me toilette paper

in case I cried. Can you imagine?

I could hear them saying, "Oh, poor girl."

That was the most humiliating part.

No!

Returning the presents
was the most humiliating thing. Awful.

Not you, darling.

I kept you.

But when they told me
Gerardo had stood me up,

I took it pretty well.

Who is it?

Calm down, who is it?

Who...

Who?

My goodness! Marcela!

Relax. What's going on? Calm down.

Are you crazy? Stop. I'm coming.

I'm sorry for the interruption
and the knocking,

but can you tell me

why you gave me the day off
when you know I'm a workaholic?

-Because I'm going to give it all up.
-What?

I'm just going to do what I want.
Nothing else.

-But...
-But what?

Life is too short.
I want to live it the way I want to,

not as people tell me to.

-That's super valid, but...
-But what?

I need time for myself.

I haven't taken time
for myself in years. I'm leaving.

Really, I'm going to...

I don't know, Ibiza.

Yes, I'll go to Ibiza to forget
about everybody and everything.

I'm going to forget about myself.
You know what you're witnessing?

You're witnessing the death of the Regina
who worries about everything,

and the birth of a Regina
who just doesn't care.

You're coming with me.

-Wow. Seriously?
-Yes, of course.

You need some rest, and I need someone
to take care of me.

So tomorrow we go to a travel agency,

we buy two open tickets.
What do you think?

No!

What about your book?
And your manchildren?

What? Everything will be okay.

Look, I'm not worried at all.

They're grown-ups, for God's sake,
they're going to be perfectly fine.

And feel yourselves,
feel the animal inside you.

And use your imagination too.

Use your own personal space. Okay?

I'll pay attention to you
in a second. I am...

Don't touch me!

So, remember the five basic pointers.

And also use your breathing,

your weight, your spine,
which is the basis of your animal.

Remember the rhythm of life.

The way your animal sees the world,

because his animal
is different than yours, right?

It's completely different.
Communicate with each other.

Communicate with each other, interact,
take it to a cl*max.

A cl*max! That and... Stay!

Very good. Rest.

And with this,
we finish this animal session

that connected you
with the inner beast you have inside.

You have to connect with it
to bring out your primitive impulses.

Aldo is going to connect
with the loud monkey he was imitating?

I was a dolphin, you idiot.

One of the most intelligent animals
in the world.

Yes.

Wait! You want to tell each other things?

Now we'll move on to constellations.

HOW I SEE THE WORLD

HOW I BREATHE

This is about playing the part
of a family member

we have problems with,

so that we can tell them everything
we ever wanted.

I'll go first.

Mom, my life dream was to be a singer.

And when you came into my room
and broke my karaoke machine,

I was really hurt.

Sorry.

I forgive you.

Very good. Now you go.

Omar, ever since you passed away,
a part of the nineties died with you.

I stopped wearing so much gel,

I threw away those shell necklaces
you liked so much.

I lost my way, and...

Since that day,
I haven't been able to recover.

Should I hug him or what?

Feel Omar in your heart.

Come on, Tony.

Okay.

Aldo, honey!

The nineties didn't end with me.
They still live in you.

The nineties aren't just the nineties.
They can be whatever you want.

Exactly!

Wonderful!

See? See how the key is to look
in the roots and not in the leaves?

-Good.
-Your turn.

-Me too, really?
-Yeah.

Esmeralda, honey,

I'm sorry I wasn't the father
you would have liked me to be.

Actually, I'm not the person
I would have liked to be.

But I'm going to give you
all my love and all my respect

so that one day
you might feel proud of me.

I'm going to do whatever it takes
for us to be okay.

I swear. I promise.

You're an as*h*le, Dad.

Watch your mouth, girl.

Let me finish.

Yes, you're an as*h*le, Dad.

But at least you're trying,

so I forgive you.

I'm sorry
I didn't communicate this before,

but you know how these guys are,
they like mocking me.

That's why I don't like
to show my feelings.

I promise I'll keep fighting for you.

You will?

Come here.

Wonderful. Two excellent moments.

Who's next?

Gio...

You went too far.

You're an extremely selfish
and miserable human being.

And I hope your marriage
lasts five minutes,

because you're also a person
who can't be loved.

And when you get bored,
I'll be waiting for you.

Not because I love you,
or because I love those eyes of yours,

or that wonderful smile,

or the way you used to choke me.

No!

I'll take you back because I pity you.

A lot.

Hug him.

Hug him.

-I don't have to hug this b*tch.
-Of course not.

Your turn, Andrés.

-Laura...
-No.

Laura, I want to tell you I'm sorry.

Now I see why you left me for a woman

and why our kids don't think
of me as a cool dad.

I turned our marriage into a routine
and I'm...

a boring guy.

That's right. You're a poor idiot.

You spent all day sticking
your finger inside the a*s

of adult men,

and you stopped sticking it in my a*s.

And not only that, you turned our marriage
into something boring and crude.

You never took me out dancing anymore.

And besides, all I wanted
was to be surrounded by men

with their dicks rubbing my face.

Here.

I don't think Laura would say that.

-Yeah, no.
-Maybe that last part was me.

But that's why she divorced you.

You think it's funny?

Do you think what happened
with Laura and me is funny?

-Yes.
-Well, yes.

It's hilarious, man.

I destroyed my marriage,

my kids are bored of me.

Regina abandoned us because of me.

And I bought this shitty bar
that smells like vomit,

and I met you, a bunch of assholes.

Why don't you go f*ck yourselves?

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

f*ck.

It's a joke, man!

-Is he really mad?
-Yes.

This wouldn't have happened with Regina.
Period.

Regina. If you like her so much,
why isn't she here?

That's what we're going to do.
The session is over. Let's go.

It's six hundred pesos each.

I don't have money.

Let's go. Bye.

-Six hundred pesos for this bullshit?
-Yeah.

-And the bar?
-What bar?

Andrés' bar is closed.

What do you mean it's closed?

Please, pull over.

-Why is it closed?
-I don't know.

I'm sorry, we're getting off here.

Can you open the trunk?

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

The trunk.

FOR SALE

-It's for sale.
-What? That's strange.

Andrés! Open up, it's Ivette.

Are you his ex?

What? Oh, no. God forbid.

I'm his therapist.

No. I'm his therapist.

-Regina?
-Yes.

Oh, I see.

I see why they're crazy about you.

-Excuse me?
-But they're better now.

They're as good as new.

It's just they didn't pay me.

They do that to you too, right?

They make a scene, pretend
they're offended and leave without paying.

Andrés, come on! Open up!

-Something must have happened.
-No. Everything is all right.

I took them back to their comfort zone.

Tony went back to only caring
about his dance moves,

Aldo wants to experience his fame again,

even with his mental issues.

Andrés is thinking about going to his ex,
even if she doesn't like him.

-Roberto called Giovani.
-No.

Víctor threw the biggest party
in Mexico yesterday.

What did you do?

Oh, God.

Hold on.

-Hello?
-Víctor?

No, he's not in.

Oh, sorry, what a fool.

You called Víctor's house.

But I diverted his calls to my phone.

I'm very professional.

I'm Poli.

Policia.

But you can call me Poli.

I'm on vacation in Acapulco.

My Víctor sent me.
He told me I deserve it.

Okay. But could you tell me
where I can find him?

Yes. Take this down.

2437 Acacias Street.

Thank you so much.

-Let's go to this address.
-To recover your patients?

Yes, they need me.
You did a number on them.

We're not going on vacation.

-We're going to find our manchildren.
-Yeah!

Listen, if you see them,
tell them they owe me 600 pesos each.

Víctor.

Víctor?

There are people here.

-Good afternoon.
-Hi, excuse me.

Víctor!

Vic...

This is not Víctor. It's not Víctor!
It's not him.

Let's check the bedroom. Go.

I'll pull up, you pull down.

-Where?
-There.

From that thing. Pull.

Pull!

My back. Okay.
First the black one, then yellow.

That's it.

There it is.

There he is. Hold on.

Víctor!

Are you okay?

-Víctor.
-Oh, no.

Vic...

Víctor!

Is he dead?

Hold this for me.

I can't feel his pulse.

I can't feel anything.

Víctor! Let's see. Víctor.

-No, Víctor.
-Is he dead?

Vic...

He's not dead.
But we need to take him to a hospital.

Help me, please.

Let's see, get him up.

It's already up.

Oh, you meant get Víctor up.

Okay.

What happened?

Nice flowers!

-Víctor went back to being the old Víctor.
-Yeah.

And he didn't invite us.

Yes, I had a relapse.
A wonderful, almost pornographic, relapse.

Wow. Okay.

A relapse that almost k*lled you.

But, who saved me?

-Who?
-We did. Marce and I.

Yes, you too.

Yes. But you're much better now.

Thanks. Yes.

What are you all doing here?

-We are his...
-His friends.

Family.

Miss, don't you see
the resemblance? Please.

-I'll come back later then.
-Thank you.

Guys, thank you,
but you didn't have to come.

No, we didn't.

But we're here for whatever you need.

-And why did you stand us up?
-Huh?

-Let's see.
-Why did you abandon us?

Why?

Her apartment flooded.

No.

Everything got wet,
the clothes got wet, the Internet got wet.

-Everything.
-That so?

Marce, I think...

There's no need to lie.

They opened up to me

and it's only fair
that I do the same, right?

In my private life, I'm quite impulsive.

I usually control it,

but sometimes, as it happens
to everybody, the past...

overwhelms me.

I want to leave everything...

This time, you were that "everything."

It's not fair, because you came to me

so I could help you with your issues,

and I turned my back on you.

That's why I want to apologize
from the bottom of my heart.

I mean it, I want to apologize

and ask you that we restart the treatment.

So we all can grow together
and get to know us.

-Does that sound okay?
-Yes.

I wouldn't want to speak
for everyone, but...

We missed you a lot.

-A lot.
-It's true.

It's true.

And we missed you,
and don't deny it, boss. Don't lie.

-Yes, don't lie.
-Yes.

Well, to be honest, I did miss you.

So we can go back to our sessions.

-Okay. What about your past?
-What?

Are you over it or not?

Of course, that's over.

And it's never coming back.

And that's how Regina was reunited

with the men who were no longer
just mere patients,

but her friends.

Now she's more motivated than ever

and confident that she will be able
to help them in their journey

towards a healthy and mature adulthood.

And maybe even have
a romantic relationship with one of them.

What do you think?

You're not telling me anything.

Is she dating someone or is she single?
