01x16 - The Truth

[bunniefuu]

[sentimental music playing]

[door closes]

Hey, Su.

I thought you were in Spain.

No, I stayed in Cartagena for a few days.

I've been thinking a lot about
what you said.

Well, I'm going.
Just needed to grab my phone.

What are you gonna do?

Something I should have done
a long time ago.

That's what.

[door opens, closes]

[high-pitched voice]
Beltrán for president.

[laughs] Enough, okay.

Marcelo truly only wants your happiness.

-[Luis] We need to talk.
-Not right now.

I'm busy. Where's Alice? Hmm?

[scoffs] No idea. Haven't seen her.

So she's not here, but in an hour,

they're releasing the names
of my future ministers,

and I need the speech she wrote me
so that I can memorize it.

There is no list because Alice
never sent it off to the press.

Hmm?

[tense music playing]

[Luis] Here. Look at this.

If this guy is the one married to Alice,

then who exactly is the writer?

He's the cuckold.

[Luis laughs]

Uh… [clears throat]

It's obvious that Guevara
had her infiltrate our campaign

in order to steal information
for his side.

How long have you had these photos?

A few days,
when I went to the priest's house.

And you waited until now
to give them to me?

Um, I just thought, um, well,
it occurred to me that we could perhaps--

I don't pay you to think.

Don't worry.
I know exactly what to do with this.

If you're calling about the list--

[Marcelo] I'm calling you
about the photo album

of your wedding with the priest.

JUST ALICE

EPISODE 16
THE TRUTH

Why aren't you answering your phone?

I'm looking for you
like some kind of idiot. What's going on?

I just have a couple of problems
that are completely f*cking me over.

Wow, hyperbolic.

-Alejo.
-What?

All I need you to do is to tell me exactly
what you have planned

to say at the publisher's event today.

-Everyone is dying to know.
-Well, they need to be patient.

They'll hear it when I show up.

I'm going to shower.

[groans]

He could have told me that in a text!

[Eliseo] Tell me, son. What happened?

[Pablo sighs] Nothing, Dad. It's fine.

Now don't treat me like an idiot.

When you told me
you had an argument with Alice,

well, I didn't think it was so serious

that you wouldn't even see each other
or communicate about it.

Why don't you call her friend,
Susana, to see if--

Yeah, I talked to her.

-So what'd she tell you?
-That Alice doesn't wanna talk to me.

Well, you must have said something
to upset her.

Why is she being like this?

You should be aware that in her condition…

-Hey, Dad. Can I get you another coffee?
-…it is important that…

-No, no, I'm good. Thank you.
-No?

Yeah, did you see the way
he was looking at his mouth?

Ooh!

He totally wanted to make out with a dude.

Hey there, my friends.

Where are you headed
with that aguardiente?

It's obvious that Samuel
is totally a massive f*gg*t.

Hold on. What did you say about my son?

Sorry, but it's the truth.

You don't believe me,
just look on his socials.

I've got nothing to do with it. Let's go.

-[girls laughing]
-[Jonathan] Baby, is that it? Huh?

Samuel, I have good news to share.

I was able to verify
that some procedural errors

were made in your theft proceedings.

You didn't show any signs of resistance
when the police arrived.

There's proof that your right
to a statement was not honored.

You're a free man now.

Come on, bro!

[laughs happily]

So does that mean I can take this off?

No, you gotta leave that on.

We've still got several court proceedings
to go through.

What I need now is a signature here
so I can be your legal representative.

Done, with my eyes closed.

I'm telling you, brother.

I just never wanna
go back to prison, man. You know?

What's next?

Are you gonna be able to help
with the land problem as well?

Come again?

You didn't hear?
My brother didn't say anything about it?

Uh, no.

-We were hoping you could do something…
-[Ernesto] Samuel! [laughs]

Samuel! I… I… I'm so sorry to interrupt.

My wife was helping clean up
all of the mess

from the New Year's Eve
g… get together, which was great.

So, she found this bracelet.

At first she thought, probably just silver
because of the color, right?

But, turns out, it's white gold.

It's really expensive. See?

So I'm thinking that maybe it belongs
to the lady you were with.

Wait, let me see.

Or… Wait a minute.
Or the lady who came with her.

Let me… Just let me please look.

[tense music playing]

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I LOVE YOU, FRAN.

Get over here.

-Dad, you're just in time.
-Let's go. Outside.

I've got some really great news.

-But, Dad, it's great news.
-Outside, now.

Do you mind, please?
That belongs to my wife.

No, it's my wife's. I'll give it to her.

[Eliseo breathing heavily]

Do me a favor. Tell me what this is.

Tell me now because every idiot
in the neighborhood

is laughing their heads off
at these photos of you

whispering sweet nothings
in Benjamín's ear.

What is this filth?

I just cannot believe that the Lord
has cursed me to raise a h*m* son!

Show me some respect, Dad.
You know I like women. This is all lies.

I've banged every girl in my neighborhood.

They all want me, and I want all of them.

That's strange since I haven't seen you
with one in a long time.

Isn't that strange?

Because…

Ah, because… [chuckles]

Why you gotta ruin the surprise, Pa?
I'm seeing this woman.

She's great.

-She is just so amazing.
-Who?

-She's from the other… She is so fine.
-Which one? Tell me which one!

Her name's Laura. Her name's Laura.

I was about to text message her about…

It's about, uh, it's time she, um,

that she come meet
her future father-in-law.

-Yeah?
-She has to come here. You hear, son?

Bring her here
because I do not believe you!

I was about to.

Today, yeah. I'll tell her.

But you know,

it just… it hurts that you, um,

believe whatever they say about me.

[music fades]

[Samuel sighs]

Oh my God.

Have you talked to Fran yet?

What about?

What do you mean "what about," Caro?

The divorce.

Uh, no.

No. I mean, it did cross my mind.

[Laura] Mm-hmm.

But I don't know, because…

I don't know.
I think I had an existential crisis.

I mean, I do love Fran.
I do love my children.

I do love my marriage.

I just miss having
a little time just for myself.

You know what I mean?
To have the time for the things I like.

And above all, to stop doing absolutely
everything his parents tell us to do.

I can't take it anymore.

Right, and so how is that going to change
if you stay married to him? Mm? Mm.

Well, babe, I do think he got it
because listen to this.

He is gonna take just us
and the children to his family farm.

-[Laura groans]
-We're getting there.

Fran's the best though.
Where do you find guys like that?

Because I have obviously dated
all of the savage brutes.

-Yeah, it's difficult.
-[Laura sighs]

So when do we go meet Alejo?

Oh, Alejo doesn't know we're coming.

[scoffs] No, girlie.

What? Have you been arguing?

No, we haven't, but he doesn't like it

when I try to talk to him about Alice,
and he knows that I want to.

I've been calling him,
left him messages, no answer.

No, no.
I swear he is just as bad as Alice.

I keep calling her,
and she's not answering either.

She doesn't even call me back. You know?

-I'm gonna find out what is up.
-How are you gonna do that?

-Don't know.
-Huh?

Investigator Lau.

INCOMING CALL

[phone ringing]

It's Samuel.

That stupid kid's finally calling.

What's up, Samuel?

Mm. Okay.

Now?

He must see me. [laughs]

Mancilla is coming back in the polls,
but I got a tip-off.

He's going to meet
with that priest, Guevara.

Great, so we'll be
k*lling two birds with one stone.

-Mm-hmm.
-[Alice] Excuse me. Pardon.

Marcelo.

Welcome, Mrs. Guevara. Or Valdés.
Valdés-Guevara. Or Guevara. I'm not sure.

-[Luis] Guevara.
-So what do you want?

First of all,
I want to congratulate you, honestly.

Managing two marriages.
That demands genius and talent.

[uneasy music playing]

Did you post them?

Come on now. How could you think that?
That's what a fifth-grader would do.

I don't work like that.
Trust me. I didn't post them.

I need to ask you a favor.

I need you to get me information
on the foundation,

the priest,
and what they're thinking and plotting.

Oh, okay. So it's blackmail, is it?

No, no. It's an exchange of favors.

Marcelo, you don't wanna
get called out publicly

in front of the media for having sent, um…

Luis. [clears throat]

…to our house to steal my property.
Isn't that right?

You have no proof of this.

There are cameras inside of Pablo's house.

Exchange of favors?

-[Marcelo] Until we meet again, Alice.
-I don't think so.

Oh, we will meet again.

Marcelo, you returned the album,

but I haven't taken photos
as proof for us.

Can you please remind me
why I'm paying you a fortune

just to be my consultant?

[Marcelo sighs]

[music fades]

[rock music playing]

-No, what are you doing?
-[phone camera clicking]

If I don't post anything,
then nobody will…

will ever believe I was with
such a beautiful woman.

[Laura chuckles]

-No, I'm not--
-No. Wait, but if it bothers you, I'll…

I will delete it.

Well, it's just
that I've never done this before.

-Okay.
-Actually, no, no.

You can take them
'cause, if I'm looking good in the photo,

I can brag a little bit as well
about why I'm looking so young.

[Laura chuckles]

Oh, make me look good.

[phone camera clicks]

[Laura laughs]

[rock music continues]

[music fades]

[romantic music playing]

[Benjamín] Hey.

[moaning]

[moaning]

[music fades]

[rock music resumes]

[Laura] No. Don't worry.
It's all right. It's okay to be nervous.

Just relax.
It's fine. It's fine. All good.

[clears throat] No, baby.

I don't ever get nervous.

Let's do this. I'm ready.

Okay.

[music fades]

[phone chimes]

[Luis] Alice, don't be naive.
I obviously have copies of those photos.

Please.

[chuckles] Um, well, Marcelo moved
the press conference to this evening.

So I don't know how we're going to do it,

but if he doesn't appoint me
as chief of staff,

I'll publish the photos,
and your husbands will learn the truth.

I'll leave it at that. Thank you.

[Alice sighs]

Of course my husbands will find out,
but from me. Don't try to threaten me.

And I won't be…

[groans]

No, I'm done explaining myself
to that idiot.

[exhales]

[Alejo] Ben, I know your mom said
you wanted to be alone

and not to bother you,

but I…

I just… I haven't heard from you
in a week,

and I'd really like to talk and…

[phone chimes]

INCOMING CALL

-What the hell do you want?
-I wanna talk.

Really? So that's why you sent the priest,
your lover, to my home on New Year's?

-Pablo was at your house?
-[sighs] I gotta go, Alice.

No, no, no. Don't hang up. Alejo, please.

Listen, I'm begging you,
don't hang up on me just yet.

I need to talk to you.

I honestly can't. I'm very busy.

Please, Alejo.
I need you to really listen to me, please.

I'm begging you. Give me one hour,
and then I won't bother you again.

-I promise.
-Fine, four o'clock.

Okay, four o'clock.

At 4:00, we will meet,
and you have my word.

If it's what you want,
I'll never call again.

Fifteen minutes
is all you're getting from me.

Okay, I'll send you the location.

[pensive music playing]

-[exhales]
-[phone line ringing]

[Pablo] Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali.
What's going on with you?

I've been calling you like mad.
I've texted you.

Susana just says everything is fine.

Where are you?

I was in Cartagena.

Why were you in Cartagena?

Can we meet somewhere
at four o'clock to talk?

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I'll see you soon.

Bye.

-Hey, I enjoyed that a lot.
-[music fades]

I'm so happy you called me
because you were playing hard to get, huh?

Ah, it's not that.
I just had to do some things.

Well, next time, let me know,

and I can give
a helping little hand like so.

Ooh, hey. No, no, no.

I don't mix it up like that. Okay?

Oh, you're so sweet.

It's all mixed already.

[sighs]

For example, you can't tell me
it's not a wild coincidence

for you to be friends with Benjamín.

-[intriguing music playing]
-What's going on with that?

[tuts] You know him, or what?

No. No, but Alejo does.

Through Alice, right?

My brother's wife?

Who's your brother?

Pablo Guevara, the director
of this foundation, where Ben works.

[Alejo] How do you know he works there?

Uh, because I volunteered there,
like Alice.

Did you see her with the priest?

What priest?

My brother left the priesthood
so he could be with Alice.

And exactly which Alice
are you talking about?

[chuckles]

My sister-in-law.

She's not here much
because she's always on a plane somewhere.

She's a flight attendant.

-Ah!
-[both laugh]

No. That's not her.

Not her 'cause my Alice
is a consultant to a politician.

-For Beltrán?
-Oh, why Beltrán? He's a pig.

Mm. Well, but my friend is amazing.

[raspberry] If she works for that guy,
I don't know.

[laughs]

In fact, I think you would have
already met her

at the foundation
because she comes here a lot

to volunteer
or something along those lines.

[inhales]

The only Alice I know
is my brother's wife.

I mean, if you're saying
your friend is helping Beltrán,

I doubt she'd come here because we

would kick her butt right out.

[Laura] Hmm.

[romantic music playing]

[romantic music continues]

[romantic music continues]

[romantic music continues]

[romantic music continues]

[romantic music continues]

Hi. If it's possible, please call me.

[romantic music continues]

Hey, there's still some aguardiente
from the New Year.

For me, just a smidge,
'cause that stuff knocks me out. [laughs]

[tense music playing]

Who's this?

That's my brother and his wife.

[music intensifies]

And how long ago were they wed?

I don't know. A few months ago.

Wow, no cheers?

Sorry, I've just realized
that there's something I've gotta do.

I'll call you.

-Thank you for everything.
-Hey, Laura.

Wait.

-Can't you stay a bit longer?
-No, I'm sorry. I have to do something.

[Samuel] Hey.

Hey, Dad. This is Laura.

Ah, the one you told me about.

This is my dad. He's all bark and no bite.

It's wonderful to meet you.

Yes, likewise, and you invited her over
for some food, right?

Oh, I would love that,

but there's something urgent
I have to take care of.

But we can do that another time, right?

-Yeah, yeah.
-I'll see you later.

Hey, hey, hey. Wait, come here.
Where's my goodbye kiss?

[Laura chuckles]

See you.

Bye now.

Here.

Well, then?

Where did you meet her?

Oh, well, actually,
she was here for New Year's.

What was such an elegant lady
doing all the way out here?

I dont know, Dad.

-Dad, what are you doing here?
-Oh, here we go.

Come on. Let's go.

I've told him so many times
he needs to be at home getting rest.

Son, you know
I've already spent eight days

just staring up at my ceiling,
all while doing nothing.

Because that's what you have
to do, Dad. You gotta rest.

Did you know
that your brother has a girlfriend?

Uh, yeah. Pablo already knows.

I'm just…
I'm gonna finish something over there.

Okay, come on. Come on. Let's go, Pops.

I know. You're not ready to be out here.
Let's go.

No, Mom, that's not what this is.

When I'm ready to talk about it,
I'll call you.

Bye.

Tell your brother that the delivery came,
and these are the receipts

and the invoices, and…

What is it?

Look, I'm sorry.

I just can't do this to my dad.

No, be honest. I'm not an idiot.
You know what this is about.

Samuel. You can't do this to yourself.

I understand you have doubts,
you're scared, I get it.

But bringing that woman here,
hooking up with her,

and posting to your socials?
What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Why'd you do that?

Because I had no choice, Benji.

And if we don't stop now,
it's gonna be worse.

-[melancholy music playing]
-It's okay though.

We can still be friends, all right?

I'm not able to pretend like you
and do this whole act.

We both know perfectly well
what we have between us.

Hmm? And no, I don't wanna be your friend.

You know what gets me,
the worst thing out of all of this?

That you're all lying.

[exhales]

[sighs]

[music fades]

[Carolina] My love.

What a surprise.

I didn't know you would be here.

Why aren't you answering your cell?

I'm sorry,
but I left my phone at the house.

Oh really? You seem to forget
a lot of things lately, Carolina.

You had fun dancing on December 31st,
I bet, huh? At the foundation.

Wait, where did you get that information?

Let's see, Carolina.

Well, I guess you were having
just so much fun

you didn't see you dropped
the bracelet I gave you for Christmas.

I've got it here.

[exhales sharply]

Where'd you find it?

At the foundation.
Where else would it have been?

Where you spent New Year's Eve

just having a blast
and partying all night,

totally ignoring your family, right?

Oh no, Fran.

Here, Caro.

You should take better care
of the things you love.

Please, Fran,
why don't we get out of here,

go home, and talk calmly
so we don't ruin the trip

we're taking tomorrow out to the farm?

-Let's go home.
-You're not going to the farm.

[scoffs] Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious. You don't get it.
You leave me no choice.

Carolina, you have always known

what I wanted our life to be like
when we got married.

And now you're looking for something else
that doesn't work for me.

And you know what?

-I think it's best we have some distance.
-[melancholy music playing]

-Goodbye.
-But Fran…

Hi. Oh, bye.

I've been calling you
for the last hour, Carolina.

-I'm sorry. I don't have my phone.
-We need to talk.

Babe, no. I'm sorry. I can't.

But I have news. This is serious.

No, my news is worse.

Okay?

[Ernesto stutters]
Over there is Mr. Mancilla.

[Eliseo] And who is that?

Another candidate for the presidency.

He's up in the polls like Beltrán.

Yes, yes, yes.

You know he was looking for you?

Huh. Well, let's go. I don't wanna hear
any more about candidates.

-Be careful, Pablo.
-Thanks, Ernesto. Be right there.

See you.

Be sure to spread the word to your friends
and other community members.

[Pablo] Hello, Mr. Mancilla. How are you?

-Thank you.
-It was my pleasure.

-[woman] Thank you.
-[man] Great speaking with you.

How are you? A pleasure.

Mr. Guevara.

-It's great to meet you.
-Thank you.

I've wanted to meet you for quite a while.
As a citizen. Hmm?

Well, I find that hard to believe,

what with the bodyguard
and that van right there.

You don't need that stuff here.

Look, Guevara, I've heard that you're not
exactly trusting of us politicians.

Exactly. I don't trust what you say,

especially because what I do,
it's… it's sacred.

-It's my faith. Used to be a priest.
-Yeah.

-Is that right?
-Mm-hmm.

So, you understand this
bringing people together, community.

It's a lot like what I do. [laughs]

But I'll get to the point.

I know what Beltrán is trying to do
with the mayor's office,

how he wants to say
you are a usurper of public lands.

This is a very, very serious problem.

Well, the former mayor gave me the land.

Yes, sure,
but no deeds were signed or filed.

I understand that in heaven,
a person's word may have value,

but down here on Earth,

what is not officially signed
and authenticated is not valid.

However…

[uneasy music playing]

…the campaign's lawyer
is a true expert in cases like this one.

There's a lot we can offer you, Pablo.

We can take care of your case.

-What do you want?
-Nothing.

Just what we do in politics.

You'll release a statement
thanking the campaign, and we'll use it.

So you do want a favor.

Don't be a fool.

This is a large operation.

It's costly to run for office,
and I'm not paying for it.

But if you're not on board,
that's completely fine.

Regardless, I'll get him to find you
a very good lawyer.

You're going head-to-head against Beltrán.

[phone ringing]

He is a pretty big fish.

Take care of yourself.

[phone ringing]

Hi, Mom.

No, nothing.

Uh…

I wanted to talk to you. I…

[melancholy music playing]

[sighs] I just had a really awful day.

[sniffles]

Mom, what did you use to say to me
when I was scared

or had a problem
or when I was worried about what to do?

A battle lost
could be your greatest victory.

Go win the w*r.

[sniffles]

Thank you, Mom.

Mm. I just needed to hear your voice.

Yeah. [sniffles]

Yep. I'll call you later, okay?
I have to go.

[Simón] So what will you say?

It's okay. Don't worry.

Seriously? "Don't worry"?

All I am is worried. Please tell me
what your novel is about

so I'm not finding out
with the rest of the world.

-Do me that favor.
-I'm not gonna talk about my novel.

So then, what are you doing?

I plan to be more honest
than I've ever been.

All right? Just relax.

Please tell me
what you're planning to do, okay?

[announcement chime]

[host] Welcome to you all.

It is an honor to welcome you
to this special event in our bookstore.

The moment we have
all been waiting for has arrived.

Let's give a big round of applause

to welcome our esteemed guest,
Alejo Valdés.

[crowd clapping]

[Alejo] Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

[Alejo sighs]

It's not exactly easy for me
to be here at this event up here

in front of you all.

The directors of the publishing house,
who believed in me for all these years,

many colleagues who I admire,

readers who supported each one of my books
throughout my career,

who today, they've honestly become

more than just friends.

They're family.

I'm sure that many of you,
or almost all of you,

are in for a surprise.

I have been writing for many years.

I started when I went to law school,
and I realized there were so many stories

of fascinating, interesting people.

I would run home
to try and write about them,

to capture them all.

When I got my diploma,

I went and got a hammer and a nail, and

I put it on a wall in my house.

The only thing I know how to do
in this life is tell stories.

And it pains me to share
that I'm going through

what you might know

as an author's biggest fear,
writer's block.

[crowd murmuring]

Twenty years ago, I decided
to hang up my robe as a lawyer.

And today,

I put down my pen as a writer.

-[murmuring]
-[uneasy music playing]

[Alejo] I'm sorry to disappoint you,

although I'm sure that there are some
who won't care.

I'm going through a difficult time
in my personal life,

and I'm not about to turn it into
an opportunity to write another novel.

I thank you all for supporting me,

but I think it might have been
for nothing.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I wish you the best.

[crowd murmuring]

[Alejo] I'm sorry that you had
to witness my defeat.

No, not at all.
What you said was very brave and sincere.

Well, I doubt the publishers
feel the same way.

I took out a loan to pay the advance
they gave me,

and I have no idea how the hell
I'm gonna pay it back.

Anyway, thank you for coming. Hmm?

Well, I came to tell you
that I spoke to Ben.

He's really angry with both of us,
but he's okay.

Hmm. So he answered you.

Well, I'm his mother.

I think he needs

some space for a while.

A while?

-He hasn't returned my calls this week.
-[phone alarm chimes]

-It was a lot for him, okay?
-For me too.

APPOINTMENT WITH ALICE IN 30 MIN.
PAUSE

I'd offer you a ride, but I…

It's all good.

I'll see you off.

Oh, Caro, I don't know what to say, but…

you and Fran will sort this out
in no time. I just know it.

I don't know.

No, no, no. I do know.

Fran's not like Martín,
and Fran prioritizes family.

Hmm. Martín cares about nothing.

Not even me.

I can't get over the big deal I made
with Samuel, but he… didn't see it.

-Laura.
-Nope.

Can't you give it a rest? Enough.

Sorry.

Maybe talk about what happened,
what you were dying to tell me.

Oh, thank you. Please, I'm sorry.
I just need to get this off my chest.

Alice is married to Samuel's brother.

-What?
-Mm-hmm.

That is the little thing
she has been hiding from us.

[dramatic music playing]

And there's more.

He gave up his priesthood for her.

He was ordained.

Ordained!

So you're leaving for Buenos Aires?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm going.

I'm going,
but I wanted to apologize 'cause…

because I was an as*h*le.

It was not okay.

And, I didn't wanna leave like that
with us… just being angry with each other.

That's it?

Yeah, my flight leaves at nine o'clock.

It's for the best.

Is it?

I think so.

-No, no, no. You can't.
-[emotional music playing]

If it's because of me,
I'll tell everyone the truth.

No.

-It's because I'm hiding it, isn't it?
-No, Samuel, no. Listen to me.

Please, just listen.

No, I… I… Benji, I want us to be together.

Yeah, but not like this, Samuel.

You must only tell others
when you are ready.

Hmm?

And that takes time.

I won't force you to do anything.

But, if I don't… if I don't tell anyone,
you'll go, right?

And if I stay?

It'd be the same.

I won't be played with while you pretend
to be someone else's boyfriend.

I love you. You know that.

I love you too.

I'll come back.

Hmm? This is not the end.

When will I see you again?

I don't know.

But now, I need to get going.

[music fades]

[door opens]

[uneasy pensive music playing]

[phone ringing]

[doorbell ringing]

-[Susana] What?
-She's here.

-No, no, no, no. Hey, no. Ladies. No!
-[Carolina] Yes, lady.

You come here and tell us what's going on.

Please, please, I'm busy
and really in no mood for visitors.

Yeah, you're busy.
Okay, but we're worried.

-Tell us the truth.
-What are you talking about?

Oh, called it.
I told you she'd deny it. Typical Susana.

Okay, Laura, if you're asking me
why I haven't gone to work,

then I'll tell you I quit.

I don't care.
Don't come back if you don't want to.

We guessed almost all of it.

-Guessed what?
-[Laura] Susana, please.

We've been calling everybody.
No one answers. Show compassion.

-It's about Alice.
-I don't know what you're talking about!

No? Married that Guevara dude
in Santa Trinidad? Ring a bell?

[tense music playing]

[tense music continues]

[Alice] I asked you

to come here…

because…

this will help me
to explain things better.

[Alice clears throat]

This

is where I would go
to become another person.

Change my clothes,
my life, and my husband.

But it would be better
if you come inside to fully understand.

I swear I'm more nervous than you.
I'd rather just run away too.

But we're here,
and we're going to talk about all of this.

So let's talk, once and for all.

[romantic pop music playing]

[Alejo] What's this?

Alice, explain. I don't understand.

[Alice] I'm going to.

I know I might regret it.
I am going to regret it.

But I cannot keep it from you any longer.

I can't do it anymore. I'm done.

I got you both here
at the same time because

if I only told one of you, after that,
I might be unable to tell the other.

And also, it's only fair to everyone
involved that I tell you at the same time.

Is there at least gonna be
some point to all of this?

Do you think that someone…

[sighs] Do you think that someone
can love two people simultaneously?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm asking because I once believed
I would be able to handle it.

I tried so hard, but I couldn't.

What I wanna make very clear
is that I never wanted to hurt anyone.

[romantic pop music continues]

Pablo, when I married you,

I'd been married to Alejo for six years.

I'm a bigamist.

[romantic pop music continues]

-Alejo.
-Don't touch me.

[Alice] Okay, okay.

-I won't touch you, but listen.
-I don't wanna hear anything else.

I'm pregnant.

[romantic pop music continues]

What'd you say?

That I'm pregnant with the… two of you.

I don't know who the baby's father is.
I really don't.

I don't wanna know. I don't care.

[romantic pop music continues]

I know how much you two hate me.
I'm sure you will never forgive me.

You have every right,

but I need you to know
I'm in love with you both.

[sobs] I love you both.

Alejo.

[Alice sobs]

Pablo.

[romantic pop music continues]

[Alice] Pablo.

[Alice sobs] Pablo.

Pablo.

Alejo.

No.

No.
