[merengue music playing]
SIX YEARS, 11 MONTHS, AND 20 DAYS AGO…
[music continues on stereo]
[sniffs] Ugh!
Works for now.
Hey, hey, hey, what are you throwing out?
Nothing, things we'd looked over…
-My grandma painted this.
-Yeah, but it's not even pretty.
-It's not like she was a painter!
-It is pretty. She was an amazing painter.
-No! We're not gonna hang it! Stop!
-Let go, Susana! Let it go!
[sighs] Alice, it's been two days,
and you won't let me throw out a thing.
Come on! Here.
Smell this. Smell it. Seriously.
Oh, and this? Look. This, in Bogotá?
I don't wanna throw anything away.
You got a problem with that?
Alice, remember how you asked for my help
in emptying out this house?
Now we're never gonna finish. Ever.
I don't understand.
I mean, of course you don't understand.
You never understand a thing!
Come back! Susana.
-[music fades]
-[sighs]
-Slow down!
-Okay. Alice, enough. Calm down.
Look, I know you're going through a lot,
but I don't know why you asked me
to come and help you.
Hmm. Yeah, me neither.
Well, I can leave if you want.
You know what? Leave.
Perfect, then.
Why don't you stay here
with all your grandma's sh*t,
wiping dust off of everything
for the rest of eternity…
You know what? I'm gonna save everything
that reminds me of the only person
who treated me well in life.
-The only one that never abandoned me.
-[sighs] Go f*ck yourself.
Whatever!
[Susana laughs]
Susana.
[wistful music playing]
No. No. No, no. No.
Oh no.
Susana!
No. Come on! Su, come back!
-[horn honks]
-[Pablo] Watch out!
What the hell is wrong with you?
Don't you look ahead when you're riding?
Are you okay?
No! You almost k*lled me!
-[Pablo] I know. I'm sorry. I really am.
-Idiot!
-You almost k*lled yourself. Are you okay?
-Yeah.
-[Pablo] Ah, dammit.
-You're bleeding.
-sh**t, my bike.
-Are you able to move it?
Yeah, yeah. No, no, it's fine.
I have a kit at home.
I can get you patched up if you want.
No, it's okay.
I'll just go to the drugstore.
[Alice] No. No, no. No!
I left the keys inside.
f*ck! f*ck!
[grunts]
-Do you need help with the door?
-Yes.
-Here, just help me lift this.
-Yeah?
-Yup.
-You know how to get it open?
Well, they're old locks.
It's not that hard.
-Little help?
-Oh, right.
-I'm sorry, okay? I really am.
-No.
-Are you sure you're okay?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[sighs]
[lively instrumental music playing]
JUST ALICE
EPISODE 3
PABLO
[Pablo] Excuse me.
[music fades]
Are you sure you don't break into
strangers' houses for a living?
[Pablo scoffs]
No, no, no. I'm off duty, so don't worry.
Come with me.
I'll get some rubbing alcohol.
-So you're moving.
-[sighs]
Alcohol… The alcohol was right on top of…
I'm gonna k*ll Susana. Why does she
move my things around all the time?
It's all right, don't worry.
I'm not worried.
I just wanna help you. That's all.
May I use your bathroom?
To clean myself up with water and soap.
Yeah, yeah.
Get washed up. Put some soap on that.
Where is it?
Just down the hall. Down the hall.
Use the towel if you want. It's clean.
[water running]
Susana.
[sighs]
[water stops]
-Done.
-Huh?
-Done!
-Right.
And you?
-Uh, what?
-Still pissed off?
Who told you I was pissed off?
-May I do something? Here, may I?
-What?
Just let me do something.
Look, so you don't cut yourself.
[Alice] Mm. Hmm.
Thanks.
[tender music playing]
What a pretty lady. She your mom?
-Grandma.
-Your grandma?
Mm. She's basically my mom.
Was. She passed away a month ago.
That's why I'm packing.
Hey.
People pass away
and stay inside our hearts.
And if you think of her,
she'll be with you
throughout your entire life.
-Trust me.
-[sighs]
[Alice sighs] Jesus Christ.
[Pablo] You know what?
I understand though.
I understand
everything you're going through.
I mean, the moving,
the boxes, the packing.
It's not just a few boxes.
It's the house. The whole house.
Should I sell it? Should I rent it out?
I don't know what to do with my life.
Is anyone really forcing you
to make a decision?
-No.
-So what's the rush?
[music fades]
I don't know why I told you all of this.
I don't even know you. I'm sorry.
You want food?
Let's go have the best fish
Cartagena has to offer.
Come on. Come. Come on!
[champeta music playing]
[children laughing, chattering]
You're gonna love it there.
It's so pretty.
Over here! Pass it! Here!
I'm open! I'm open!
-Pass it!
-Got it.
[indistinct chattering]
[child screams excitedly]
[phone camera clicks]
[champeta music continues]
[both grunt]
[chattering continues]
Come on. Come on!
I'll show you something cool! Come on.
Come help me out. This step's important.
-Oh yeah?
-Yeah. Otherwise, it'll lack flavor.
-[Pablo] Come on, hurry!
-[laughs]
Come on, come on!
-It's coming out. It's coming out!
-I don't have the strength for this.
Give me a break. Come here, come here.
-Guys, she can help, right?
-Course she can.
-Of course! Get over here.
-What do I do?
-Tug it, tug it, tug it.
-Ah! [laughs]
[Pablo] Go, go, go, go, go!
[both laughing]
[fisherman] The net's full!
Look at this beauty! Look at this beauty!
-Nice!
-Nice!
-Let's go!
-[woman] Just like that.
[champeta music continues]
Here it is.
[music fades]
It tastes better when you eat it
with your bare hands, huh? Huh?
Mm.
I have a gift for you.
Well, it's a gift from the sea.
[Alice] Hmm?
Hmm?
I mean, the sea sent it.
I just put it on a string.
May I?
[romantic music playing]
Let's see.
All right, let's see it. Looks nice.
-Yeah?
-Yeah. Very.
Thanks.
Thank the sea, not me.
Life is so much better
on a full stomach, isn't it?
My father used to say that.
The exact same thing.
Always.
-Are you serious?
-Yeah.
Did he pass away too?
-No.
-I'm sorry. You spoke in the past tense.
No, I just never see him.
He left Colombia with my mom for work,
like, years ago.
So you miss 'em?
No.
Well, maybe at first. Not now.
You know what we're missing?
-Some wine.
-Oof.
-Yeah.
-Yup.
But, um, I don't think
we can buy a bottle here.
Who says we're gonna buy it?
Come on. Let's go.
-Hmm?
-Come on.
Let's go get the wine. Come on. Get up.
[romantic music continues]
[music fades]
What are we doing here?
We're here because you need
to apologize to me for what you did.
-Ah.
-Come here, come here, come here!
-Come. Come on.
-Where?
Come on!
Wow.
-What?
-Come on, girl. Come, come, come, quick!
[Pablo] Uh…
Whoa, wait.
Isn't this considered blasphemy?
No, no, no.
This isn't consecrated. Cheers.
Well, how do you know that?
Because I was an altar boy.
I mean, I went to Catholic school,
so I'm pretty much an expert.
-Altar boy? [laughs]
-Yeah.
Seriously?
-Yeah, seriously.
-Huh.
But from thief to altar boy.
We're doing pretty well.
-Mm.
-Cheers.
And since we're, um,
thieving together,
we might as well get
more comfortable with each other.
[romantic music playing]
Cheers.
I'm gonna show you a place
you're gonna love. Come on. Follow me.
The views are incredible.
-Come on.
-[chuckles]
[music fades]
[Pablo] What do you think of the view?
Pretty, right?
[champeta music plays in distance]
Well then, so tell me,
besides the thieving and the fishing,
and all that stuff that you do,
what else do you do here in Cartagena?
Normally, I break into
random strangers' homes.
-Mm.
-Mm.
But you live here.
No.
You're vacationing?
No. No, just passing by.
-So mysterious. Holy sh*t.
-[chuckles]
Mmm.
To be honest, I came here just to realize
that there aren't many options
to do what we want.
What do you want?
I wanna help others.
Like you helped me?
[champeta music continues in distance]
Do you hear that sound?
-What?
-You don't hear it?
What is that?
Ah! [chuckles] No, no, no.
They set up a bunch of stuff
for parties and events here.
-Come on. Let's go.
-Where?
-Mm.
-Gimme that. You drank the whole bottle.
-So much sugar.
-Let's dance champeta!
-Champeta?
-[both laugh]
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, that's not happening.
Come on.
[champeta music intensifies]
For me?
Oh, wow! Thank you!
No. Oh.
Hey! Here, give me that. Let's swap.
-No, no, no. Wine. Wine for me.
-No, drink.
Come on. There you go.
Bottoms up! [laughs]
Oh! I'm gonna ask for one more song.
Wait for me. I'll be right back.
Hey, come on! Whoo!
[crowd cheering]
[Alice] You got it? Oh, yes, please!
-[champeta music continues]
-[crowd cheers]
[Alice laughs] Woo-hoo!
What happened, huh?
-I love this song. Don't you?
-Yeah.
[champeta music continues]
[music fades]
[bells ringing]
[Alice chuckles]
What? What's up?
[laughs] I don't know.
I feel like we've talked all day about me,
and I don't… I don't even know your name.
[Pablo laughs]
Does it matter?
-I mean…
-To me, it does.
Okay. Pablo. Pleasure.
Alice.
-Hello.
-[Pablo laughs]
FOR RENT
Whoa! [laughs]
-Okay.
-[laughs] Yeah.
Well, I'm… I'm off.
Really?
-Someone waiting for you?
-No.
So, then…
["Eres mi religión" by Maná playing]
Kiss me. Kiss me.
[Alice moans softly]
[Alice chuckles]
[Pablo moans]
[music fades]
Pablo?
[tender music playing]
Where'd you spend the night?
Juancho, that was the best day of my life.
I swear.
I met this amazing woman.
Divine.
You know how much
I respect my path with God, but…
You slept with her.
[music fades]
Oh, my dear deacon Pablo.
I understand your tribulation. Trust me.
If it's any consolation…
[Palo sniffles]
…we've all been through this
at some point.
[chuckles]
Yeah, but just ten days
before getting ordained?
Precisely, my friend.
Which is why
God might be testing your faith.
And now you must choose…
between temporary love or eternal love.
But you can choose.
[Susana] He's a moron,
like so many others.
[sobs] He's not a moron.
You don't know him.
No, I never had the pleasure
'cause he left, so…
Pablo is different
from all the other men I've met.
I swear on my life. I swear.
You don't know how he looks at me,
how he speaks.
The things he says.
You saw how I was yesterday?
Of course. Unbearable.
Well, he cheered me up,
got my mind off things.
He took me dancing. He made me laugh.
Showed me
a Cartagena I didn't know existed.
[sobs] He's divine, Su.
Yeah, but look at you.
You're worse than yesterday.
Hey.
-You think it's possible that…
-What?
Maybe he left 'cause he had
to take care of something
but meant to come back later?
No, Alice. Men do these things.
They bang women, and then they disappear.
You know?
If he were different,
if he wanted to, he'd have left a note.
"I loved spending time with you.
Here's my address, my number." I dunno.
He disappeared, girl. That's all.
I don't understand why everyone leaves.
-Who's everyone?
-Everyone.
My dad, my mom, Pablo.
Well, hey, I won't go anywhere.
I don't know if you remember,
but you treated me like sh*t yesterday.
You even threw me out of the house.
But I am right here,
and I won't ever leave you, girl.
I mean it. I'll never abandon you.
Hmm? Cheers.
-Cheers.
-[soft pop music playing]
"Receive, O Lord, our contrite heart
and our humble spirit."
"Let our sacrifices be
in your presence today
and find favor before you."
"We ask that you wash us from our guilt,
and cleanse us from our sins."
"O Lord, our God."
"Wash me from my guilt
and cleanse me from my sin."
[soft pop music continues]
[music fades]
[stutters] So great to have
a female presence here at the foundation.
You know, with that
eye for organization you have,
it's almost like you were trained,
like in the military.
-Oh!
-[both laugh]
I'm a freak with organizing.
It's relaxing.
Oh, no, no. Well, if it's like that,
then I won't bug you anymore, Sergeant.
[laughs]
It's important that the brown sugar stays…
What do you think about the newbie?
Why don't you bring the boys
so they can help us pack?
Sure, sure. Uh, Alice.
Sir, yes, sir! [laughs]
Excuse me, buddy.
[Pablo] Sir, yes, sir.
Hello.
[Alice] Hmm.
May I have a minute of your time, please?
No. I just finished my shift.
No, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What do we do?
-About what?
-Well, about this?
We've been working together
for two weeks now.
You won't talk to me.
You won't look at me.
You avoid me. I mean, I get it.
Just wait. Let's sort this out.
-It's about Cartagena. I know.
-No! Do not bring up the past.
-I don't appreciate it.
-Let me explain.
You were clear. You're a priest.
What else is there to say?
Well, that doesn't justify what I did.
I don't know what you're thinking,
but I wasn't trying to find you
or get any explanations for anything.
I don't want them. I don't need them.
I came to do community service.
I'm gonna do my job,
and the moment I'm finished,
you won't ever see me again.
[tender music playing]
Excuse me.
[tender music continues]
-[music fades]
-[Alejo typing]
-[Alice] Babe?
-Hmm?
I figured you'd have taken off.
I did. I did. I left, but I came back.
Ah. What is it now?
Nothing. Just wanted to let you know
that I canceled tomorrow's tennis match.
No!
The Cárdenas won't speak to us again.
-This is the second time this month.
-They'll be fine.
-I'll get your coffee.
-No, I had breakfast already.
Can you sit for a moment?
I can't, babe. I gotta run.
I've got a party commission meeting.
Thing is, I found out.
[intriguing music playing]
[Alejo chuckles]
I know your candidate
is taking a week off to rest, no?
[chuckles] And how did you find out?
Well, no, I dunno.
I just heard on the radio.
-Ah.
-What?
Well, I mean…
-I told you Marcelo's crazy, right?
-[chuckles]
No, seriously.
He changes his mind five times a day.
-Don't trust the radio.
-Yeah…
Either way, either way,
I think you deserve
at least one week to rest.
And why would you think so?
Well, because you look tired.
Because I'm tired.
Because I believe we might benefit from,
um, I don't know,
maybe a few days together in…
in Mexico?
-Mexico?
-Yeah, I have meetings in Mexico.
So maybe we could go to the city
and explore or escape a few days
to, um,
to Tulum?
When do we leave?
Ernesto, I won't be here next week.
I've got a trip, okay?
Oh, um, well,
that's not… not… not a problem.
But of course, I'm not the boss.
Of course. Pablito!
Yo!
[Ernesto] Listen, so my lady over here,
sh… she can't come,
uh, work here next week,
uh, because she's… she's got a trip.
I don't know. You two figure it out.
We always need help here anyway.
Jota, did you bring the scraper?
-Ah, Christ…
-[Pablo] Alice.
If this is because
you don't wanna see me, it's fine.
I'll sign your paperwork,
we'll send it to court, and that's it.
No big deal.
[Alice scoffs] Wow. You really think
this is all about you, huh?
You're so self-centered. Hmm?
You picking a fight or what?
Why are you talking to me like that?
-I'm not trying to fight either.
-You're not?
I'm just telling you
that I'm not coming next week
because I travel for work a lot.
Do you, like, work on a plane or what?
Oh, are you a flight attendant?
[jaunty music playing]
Yeah. Flight attendant.
-Why are you laughing?
-I'm not.
You working in a plane, asking everyone
if they want beef or pasta is a little…
It's a bit strange.
All right. Enough. Take the gloves off.
Let your guard down. I don't wanna fight.
What do I have to do
for you to forgive me?
Don't do anything.
[Susana] So you ran
into that same as*h*le,
and you waited two whole weeks to tell me?
I mean, I dunno.
I didn't think it was that important.
Susana.
Tell me everything, quick. Come on.
Susana, I need you right now.
That table is waiting for their food!
Boss, I'm on my break for the next 15.
That's the rule.
No, it's been a whole 24!
Twenty-four? My God! How?
I didn't even notice. Go on.
Unbelievable!
-So tell me!
-Go. You see that look he gave you?
He was born with that look on his face.
What can I do? Greedy old b*stard.
-Tell me.
-[man] A whiskey, please.
Uh, one whiskey for the gentleman.
Girl, I literally almost died
when I saw him.
After so many years,
seeing him face-to-face…
-I almost passed out!
-So what did you do?
Did you kick his a*s or push him?
What, Alice?
-Guess.
-What?
Well, at first, I did, pretty much,
but afterwards,
we kissed.
You f*cking kissed?
Uh-huh, yeah.
God, Alice. Come on, girl.
Oh no, this isn't mine!
-Uh…
-[man] Thank you.
Yeah, sure. What do you mean you kissed?
I kissed him, and he explained to me
why he had to go,
why he hid, why he ran away.
-But why?
-You're gonna die.
-[boss] Susana, please, I need you!
-Boss, now is not the time! Back off!
-This is ridiculous!
-[Alice] He's a priest.
-A what?
-Priest.
-What? Are you crazy?
-A priest, yes.
And did this priest kiss you back or what?
-Uh, yeah.
-Jesus, Alice.
Oh God, Alice. You're gonna rot in hell.
[Pablo] No, I don't care
what the superior thinks.
I've already told you.
We've all been through this at some point.
This isn't a phase, Father.
What do you mean?
You're thinking about quitting?
No.
I'm thinking
I should've never gotten ordained.
-I should've spoken to her.
-[Alice] I kissed him first.
-Uh-huh. Yes?
-Then he said he was a priest.
What was I supposed to say?
I don't know.
Maybe ask for a blessing. [laughs]
[chuckles] You as*h*le, stop it.
No, seriously. Okay, but all jokes aside.
-You did tell this guy that you were…
-What?
-No! No, no, no.
-No?
No, of course not.
That's none of his business.
That's my business.
Besides, it happened forever ago.
Well, I dunno.
I believe that's between you--
That's my business, and there's no reason
for him to know about it.
In fact, I'll complete
my community service, then we're done.
We'll move on
and never speak again, so there.
[Juancho] Pablo Luceta.
You looked for her. You didn't find her.
You even stopped by her home in Cartagena
just to be sure, right?
Yeah, many times.
But I never spoke with her.
You were confused.
I was. Past tense.
But I saw her again. I know what I feel.
I won't carry the burden
of doing the wrong thing.
[Susana] What about Alejo?
He's fine, thanks.
I mean, did you tell the priest
you're married?
Why would I tell him that?
Are you crazy? What's the point?
I don't want him to know about my life!
I'm not gonna let what happened
seven years ago happen again.
Okay, I think it might be good for you
to distance yourself from her a little.
I'm sorry.
-I can't.
-I mean…
Oh, so you think withholding information
is gonna turn out well for you?
It's not withholding information.
I'm simply not sharing.
Alice, he's gonna find out!
There's no way he could find out.
In fact, he thinks I'm a flight attendant.
That I travel the world.
-How's he gonna find out?
-Mm, wait.
A flight attendant? You're…
Hold up. You said that…
You said that you're a flight attendant?
-Yes. [laughs]
-No, Alice.
Seriously, you are out of control.
Girl, this whole thing
can only end one way.
Badly.
Please, Alice, I'm begging you.
Find this guy, this priest. Confess.
-No!
-Tell him I'm so grateful for the kisses.
For our story. But becoming a nun
isn't exactly my thing.
-Plus, I got hitched! Alice, come on.
-No. I don't wanna say that to him.
-Susana?
-[both] What?
[boss] This will only take a moment.
Susana, I have noted down
the information you need to include
in your resignation letter.
Resignation letter? But no. Wait.
I never said I wanted to quit this job.
Oh no? [chuckles]
Well, it looks like you just did.
[lively music playing]
He let me go!
[Pablo] Come on. Quick. The rain's coming.
-Hurry. Let's go.
-Careful with the paint.
-Cover the paint.
-Yeah. I got it. Careful.
-Here, Gustavo, let's put this in here.
-It's gonna flood, Pablito.
-Don't say that.
-It might!
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry, I couldn't get a taxi.
-Back there. It's gonna flood!
-What are you doing?
Putting everything inside.
It's gonna pour.
-How can I help?
-[Pablo] No, we gotta go.
[Alice] Where? Why?
Alice, they're fixing the roof.
With this rain, the whole
thing could collapse. Now walk.
-Where are we going?
-[Pablo] To my place.
It's safer there. Come on.
Let's go. Come on.
-Where do you live?
-Right at the corner.
-Hurry, hurry, come on.
-[thunder rumbling]
Yeah.
-Welcome.
-I'm soaking wet.
I'm gonna go look for a towel
and something for you to change into.
-[Alice] Mm-hmm.
-One sec.
[tender music playing]
[Pablo] Let's go have the best fish
Cartagena has to offer.
Hey, guys, she can help, right?
-Of course! Get over here.
-[Alice] What do I do?
[Pablo] Let's go! I have a gift for you.
Well, it's a gift from the sea.
I mean, the sea sent it.
I just put it on a string.
[Alice] From thief to altar boy.
We're doing pretty well.
[tender music continues]
Why'd you leave without saying goodbye?
-I was gonna wake you up.
-You were going to?
Oh, so you didn't wanna wake me up.
How thoughtful. So considerate of you.
-Because you were grieving your grandma.
-Thanks!
So you thought that leaving like that,
running away, wouldn't hurt me?
-I wasn't sure what to say.
-Oh, the truth, maybe?
That you were about to become
a priest, Pope, reverend.
It's not that simple. I couldn't, Alice.
I just couldn't. I tried to tell you, but…
I keep thinking how we stole that wine
and all that. It was fun, no?
But tell me, be honest.
If I didn't come here
to do this community service thing,
I'd never see you again, right?
I really hate complaining,
but I do wanna say something.
-You didn't even look for me.
-I did.
-To explain or to say something to me.
-I did look for you! I looked for you.
I was in a really bad place, you know?
-Really.
-I looked for you.
All over Cartagena,
but no one knew your name
or anything about you
because you had left.
Oh, so I left?
I'm sorry.
All these years,
I haven't stopped thinking about you.
Aw.
I felt so much guilt.
-Not because of me though? No way, no.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, because I'm an idiot.
-Mm.
-Because I left.
-Mm-hmm.
Like a child, and you're 100% right.
But we met again.
Where's the bathroom? I'm cold.
[Alice exhales sharply]
That door over there.
Over there, next to the kitchen.
Hey.
[door closes]
If you wanna shower,
we have an electric shower,
so just run the water a little bit
until it gets warm, all right?
And… and please don't get electrocuted.
[phone ringing]

[breathes deeply]

[thunder rumbling]
[sighs, sniffles]
-[Pablo] Wait, wait, wait, please.
-I'm not staying here. I'm going home.
Hang on, just wait. It's pouring outside.
You can't leave like this.
-I'll grab a cab, it's fine.
-Just wait!
-You see? You see?
-Oh f*ck!
It's gonna be impossible
to get a cab at this time.
And the bus isn't coming either.
-You don't get it.
-No, I get it. I do.
This isn't right.
I know, I know. I know it's not right.
I won't make the same mistakes
I did before.
Perfect, then. I won't either.
Alice.
I looked everywhere for you
before I left Cartagena.
No one knew anything about you.
I even thought you lied about your name.
I hated you.
I… I hate you. I hate you.
That night, I got pregnant,
and I had to deal with it alone.
[melancholy music playing]
Don't worry.
There isn't a baby or anything, all right?
I couldn't move forward
with the pregnancy. I didn't want it.
But it would've been nice
if you'd been there with me.
I felt so alone.
I'm so sorry.
-I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
-Just don't.
Please forgive me.
I would've loved to have a child with you.
I swear.
-Please stop. I don't wanna hear it.
-No.
-I'm done talking, I'm leaving.
-Alice! Hey, I won't ever disappear again.
I'll always stay by your side.
Let go of me. Let go of me.
