01x03 - The Andrade Family

[bunniefuu]

[monitor beeping]

[Mavi] Not long ago, I heard in a podcast

that María Félix was born twice.

When fate called for it,

and when she reinvented herself,

and chose to become "La Doña."

You're gonna look great.

["Je N'ai Que Ton Amour" song playing]

THURSDAY'S WIDOWS

EPISODE THREE: THE ANDRADE FAMILY

["Je N'ai Que Ton Amour"

continues playing]

[Mavi] I believe Mariana Linares

is like María Félix.

She decided to make a change

and be born again as "Mrs. Andrade."

["Je N'ai Que Ton Amour"

continues playing]

[Ernesto] Perfect.

[Mavi] I sold the Andrades one of the most

expensive mansions in Las Cascadas.

[inaudible]

[Mavi] "There will be four of us,"

said Mariana.

And I asked if she was pregnant.

I was surprised I hadn't noticed.

- "Not yet," she said, and continued.

- [inaudible]

"It'll be a boy and a girl."

She was very sure.

[shower running]

[Mavi] Or almost.

Later, I heard about the blood

and the pain she felt.

She had to find another way.

[wailing]

[Mavi] And she did.

She found a way to be a mother

because she wasn't going to quit.

She dreamed about

having a family since she was a kid.

[Mariana] Here we go, sweetie!

Your new home!

[Mavi] Mariana is not one to give up.

Whenever she mentioned

how her children entered her life,

she would be vague,

saying, "We managed to get them."

We'd never say anything about it,

until one night when Tere said bluntly,

"If she paid for them,

they are her children."

[Mariana] That's right.

[sweet music playing]

[grunts] There.

Don't ever leave. Never, never.

I also like Aunt Mavi.

Aunt Mavi is so pretty and nice to me.

Aunt Julia too.

[sweet music continues]

[Mavi] "Romina" was the name

Mariana chose for Ramona.

And she's hated her new name

since she was a child.

But it was different with the boy,

because Pedro

came into their lives as a baby,

and didn't remember he had been

baptized with the name "Hipólito."

Thanks, Montse.

I need you to do me a favor.

Peter failed some classes.

Math, History, Geography, and Civics.

- Civic Education.

- [Mariana] Yeah, well, whatever.

You're gonna help him study

this afternoon, can you do that?

[Pedro] I'm meeting

some friends this afternoon.

What friends?

Hey, I'm glad you're friends with Mati!

He's pretty cool!

- Hey, Mariana.

- Hmm?

[Ramona] You studied

international relations, right?

How come you never worked, though?

I mean

What did you wanna do with your life?

Before you married Ernesto.

Or did you just

want to get married and that's it?

You're very funny, aren't ya?

Welcome, everyone, to our monthly

assembly in Los Altos de las Cascadas.

I chose seven topics

which I think were the most important,

the ones we mentioned in the chat,

but we can take a vote,

and make decisions,

figure out the penalties and such, okay?

Item number one

[Mavi] In order to lead

Los Altos de las Cascadas committee,

you need at least two attributes,

authority and ovaries.

And, yeah, Mariana had both.

With her in charge,

no one would dare break the rules.

- Her proposals were just like her

- [Mariana] Perfect.

[Mavi] Terrifying.

[Mariana] Number four,

this is very important.

We've already talked about this once.

I propose

we cut the dogs' vocal chords

so we're not annoyed by the howling,

especially during the night.

No?

- Oh my dear God. Seriously.

- [all clamoring]

- [woman] That sounds violent.

- No!

Yeah, I know it sounds violent,

but it's unbearable!

There are, like,

hundreds of chihuahuas in this place!

[all arguing]

- [Mariana] All in favor?

- [Tere] The howling, it's so loud!

- All in favor?

- Obviously, I'm in favor!

- Mavi!

- [Lala] Mavi, no!

[Mariana] When we agreed to allow pets,

we made a commitment

to have the pets trained,

and that's not happening.

So then we're gonna have to

take this proposal seriously, all right?

Okay, let's circle back to this

during the next assembly.

The accumulation of material goods

in the hands of a small fraction

of the population

as well as the extreme poverty

of the majority

of Mexico's workers and laborers

were some of the factors

which led to the revolutionary movement

which would bring the dictatorship

of Porfirio Díaz to an end.

[Pedro sighs]

[sighs] I know you hate studying, but

people like us can't afford

to forget where we came from.

Whatever, I want to be a professional

soccer player, not a revolutionary.

Do you remember our house?

No.

Your name?

My name is Pedro.

You really don't remember?

No.

[Ramona] I'll paint that

whenever you need me to. Bye!

You like dressing up, huh?

[Ramona] This guy again.

Who do you wanna look like

when you see yourself in the mirror?

- Like myself.

- I'm not trying to be mean or anything.

Ugh, what do you care, dude?

All you do is screw around with everybody.

Why don't you look in a mirror?

Maybe what you see is not what you like.

Is it true that

you and your brother were abandoned

at Mariana and Ernesto's house?

And that on the first day,

Mariana left you in the van

for, like, two hours

before the nanny came to pick you up?

Hey, did you know

adopted kids don't fall in love?

Because they didn't learn to be loved.

[Matías chuckling]

Hmm?

If you mess with my brother

I'll k*ll you.

- You're beautiful.

- Hmm.

How do you feel?

I told you, I feel fine,

but I wanted to get your input.

You're perfect as usual.

We could maybe

change the implants.

Yeah, a few cubic centimeters

less would be nice, I suppose, but

it's not necessary.

[Mariana] Hmm.

What's wrong?

No.

- No. Come on, don't insist on that again.

- It's the only thing I want, Ernesto.

Look.

If it's really that important to you

I promise you that next Thursday

I'll come to the meeting

at Tano Scaglia's house.

You mean it, though?

You keep promising me that

time and again, and you never do it.

It's the only promise I haven't kept.

It's all that matters to me.

No, no, stop!

Next Thursday.

[sweeping music playing]

- [Mariana] Whoo! How many, Montse?

- One more to go, ma'am.

[Mariana] Nice!

- [Montse] Here's your juice.

- Ah, thanks.

Uh, ma'am, I don't mean

to interrupt your training, but

Uh, last night,

I was folding some clothes

- Uh-huh.

- And I found this blouse.

Look, right over here, it's missing a

a little pearl.

Oh, no!

Five hundred dollars down the drain!

- Why don't you take it?

- Really?

- [Mariana] Yeah, sure!

- Oh

Thank you. Thank you so much, ma'am.

- I really appreciate it.

- Sure thing, Montse. You're welcome.

[Montse] Uh, okay, well, one more lap?

- [Mariana] Sure! All right, one more.

- [laughs]

[pensive music playing]

[Mavi] Ernesto wasn't handsome.

Not handsome at all.

Compared to the others,

he was ugly.

However, he was the most successful.

And Mariana loved success.

Admiration plays a crucial role

in relationships.

It's been a long time

since I felt that for Ronie.

[woman on video] Oh, that blouse

looks really good on you!

You look so cute!

I'm sure your daughter's gonna love it.

[chuckling]

Montse!

- Yes, ma'am?

- I've been looking for you.

Did you see my blouse with the pearls?

It was missing some pearls,

or just one pearl?

Uh-huh, you gave it to me, right?

Oh, right.

I shouldn't have given it to you.

I mean, I should've,

but there's the annual sale

for the service personnel, you know?

- Mmm-hmm.

- To help the residents of Los Tigrecitos.

So maybe you could buy it there.

- Right? So we can help the cause, okay?

- Yes, sure.

Great! Leave it with the other things

so I don't forget, okay?

- Yes.

- Thanks, Montse.

[dramatic note plays]

- [Mariana] You were hungry, honey.

- [Pedro] Yeah, Dad.

You're eating more than I am

and I'm growing.

In the seminars,

there's nothing to eat

except for coffee and cookies.

You're all doctors, yet the food's so bad?

[Ernesto] We actually

don't even think about eating.

We get so passionate about the seminar.

Did you know that

after hair transplant operation,

the second most common

cosmetic surgery for men is mastectomy?

- [Mariana] Yeah?

- Mmm-hmm.

It's surprising.

And there's so much we can improve.

[Ramona] Improve? Why?

All those surgeries

- I think it's just an addiction.

- It's not just surgeries.

We also have some other kinds

of treatments that make people feel good.

Whatever.

[Ernesto] Ah, I know why you don't care.

Because you, like many,

believe people having cosmetic surgery

are all superficial.

Hmm?

But that's not true.

Cosmetic surgery is for those

who want to feel better

about themselves and that accept

that they want to feel better.

For example, you.

I could make you look

just like your mother, if you wanted that.

Yeah, you wish.

I would never let you change me, okay?

- Don't talk to your father like that.

- He's not my father.

- It's okay.

- He is your father and I am your mother.

No, and you know it.

[Mariana] Go to your room.

You ruined dinner for us, Romina.

Ramona, Mariana.

I don't know why it's so hard for you.

- [mischievous music playing]

- [Ramona chuckling]

Come on, quick, let's go. Let's go.

[both laughing]

Hey, that lady is always pretty hammered.

[Carmen] Let's celebrate.

[Juandi] Since her husband left,

she's always with her maid.

Cool!

- [woman 1] That's from the Pedrozas.

- [woman 2] Is this the Monteiros?

- [Montse] Excuse me, ma'am?

- [Mariana] Thanks, Montse.

- [Montse] May I go now?

- Yeah, sure, go ahead!

- Thank you.

- [indistinct chatter]

Chalita.

Montse!

Come help me,

I don't want someone else to get it.

- What?

- Lady Mariana's cute little blouse.

The one with the pearls.

Ay, it looks so divine!

The reason I want it

is because Jenny's turning 15.

[Tere] Great choice,

I'm glad you're buying that

You donated those glasses?

Weren't they a gift from Tano?

- Wait, don't say anything, all right?

- No, no, if he sees that

- Come on, why would I say anything?

- If he sees, then I'm dead.

- But what if he comes and sees them?

- Hey, listen.

- I like that.

- Thanks.

I don't wanna stress you out,

but don't you think you should keep

insisting that Ernesto

joins the guys on Thursdays?

- [Mariana sighs]

- It's just kinda odd that he doesn't.

You know?

He has a lot of work,

he never has the time.

Aw, but it's a pity, you know?

You're almost like a widow, he's

so distant from everyone else.

- He'll go this Thursday.

- Really?

Hey, someone will see you.

- Well, if you see Ernesto, let me know.

- We gotta stick together.

The New Year's coming,

the holidays and stuff.

I know. I hope he makes it.

Come on, let me hit it.

- [Ramona laughing] Wait.

- [chuckles]

- You're my best friend.

- Right.

I mean

besides, couples suck.

Just look at my "parents."

Ernesto thinks Mariana

is a painting he made.

Or yours?

They're fed up, you know?

[tennis ba*ls flying]

[Tano] What's that, Ronie?

[men laughing]

[Tano] Cut the crap, man. f*ck.

- It's too much, dude.

- [Tano] There's the doc.

- Ask him, dude.

- I already did, man.

[Ronie] Do it again.

[Tano] Dr. Ernesto!

How's it going?

- [Ernesto] How are you?

- [Tano] Good.

[Ronie] What's up, doc?

[Tano] Are you coming on Thursday, or

are you gonna get scolded?

[Ernesto chuckles]

I wouldn't be scolded.

I could only be forced to, Tano.

- [Tano] Come on I'm just trying to

- Don't piss off the doc, man!

Do we bother you that much? Is that it?

- Nah.

- [Tano laughing] Nah.

- [Ronie laughs] No way.

- It's not that, right, doc?

We'll see you on Thursday?

[tense music playing]

What was that, dude?

What should I bring?

A few extra brain cells for Ronie,

because he's losing all of his.

[both chuckling]

See you there, doc.

For real,

I promise you won't regret it, dude.

Thanks, Ernesto, eh?

[dramatic note plays]

[Mavi] According to Mariana,

Ernesto was always a nerd.

A perfect student, a brilliant doctor,

an exemplary husband.

And now I know

that he had the most money of all.

He was successful in every way.

On top of it all,

he even managed to be a good father.

[sweeping music playing]

[Mavi] I think he would've preferred

a "Thursday of the Widows"

rather than a "Thursday at Tano's."

But he could never do that.

It would've looked very bad.

And everyone in Las Cascadas

only cared about appearances.

- [Tere] Bye!

- [sweeping music continues]

[Tere] What's with the smile?

What?

Can I get a hand organizing all of this?

- See you, Bere.

- Okay. Take care.

- What's the matter?

- [sighs]

I couldn't find the little blouse.

It's like it never existed.

[indistinct shouting] Trick or treat!

Trick or treat!

Trick or treat! Trick or treat!

Trick or treat! Trick or treat!

Trick or treat! Trick or treat!

[muted] Trick or treat! Trick or treat!

Trick or treat! Trick or treat!

[Montse] Ooh, so scary!

- I'll go get some candy, okay?

- [kid] Ooh!

[Mariana] Happy Halloween!

- [Tere] Happy Halloween!

- [Mariana] What's up?

[both laughing]

[Tere] Get closer. Get closer, get closer.

- [Mariana] Isn't that

- [Tere] What's wrong, hon?

[Mariana] Nothing

Montse, isn't that the blouse we donated

for the service personnel charity sale?

- It is, right?

- [Tere] The one my daughter's wearing?

Oh, hon, I'm sorry, I

I don't know what happened.

Sofía Scaglia, did you steal that blouse?

- It's just that I like it, it's shiny.

- Baby girl. Come on, it's no problem.

You look beautiful. It's my gift to you.

- [Tere] Really? But

- Of course! She's my favorite niece!

- [Tere] You don't have to!

- It's my gift to you.

- [Sofía] Thanks!

- Come here. Whatever you want.

- Plus, you look amazing.

- [Sofía] Thank you so much.

- [Tere] Make a line to get some candy!

- Let's get you your candy!

Can you bring me the good candy, Montse?

The gifts and the stuff I bought, please?

Some candy for you too!

Candy for the mummy!

[Mariana] So

- Have you been to a lot of houses?

- [Tere] Yes.

- [Mariana] And which was the worst?

- [Sofía] Aunt Lala's! Lala's.

[somber music playing]

[Ramona] What's wrong, Montse?

What happened?

[Montse sighs] Nothing.

[Ramona] Tell me.

I just had my heart set

on that little blouse.

I wanted to give it to my

daughter for her quinceañera.

Aw! You should've told me, I have a bunch.

Go to my room and pick something for her.

[laughs softly]

Thanks, but I guess my daughter

likes your mom's style a bit more.

[laughs] Well, to each their own.

["Drakula" by Blnko playing]

["Drakula" continues playing]

[teens chanting] Kiss her!

Kiss her! Kiss her!

- Yeah, right.

- [teen 1] Do it! Do it!

- [Matías] Kiss!

- [teens laughing]

[teens exclaiming]

- [teen 2] Great.

- [Matías] That was sick! Yeah.

All right, man, now you.

- [laughs] No! What?

- Your turn.

- Keep your promise, dude! Kiss Juandi.

- [indistinct chatter]

- [Juandi] What? What did he say?

- [Ramona] Here.

[Juandi] Just wait.

- [teens chanting] Kiss him!

- [Juandi] Nah, f*ck off, dude.

- [Matías] Kiss me, dude.

- [chanting continues] Kiss him!

[teens laughing]

- [teen 1] Do it!

- [teen 2] Come on!

[gentle music playing]

- [Matías] Yeah, right.

- [teen] He's gonna kiss you! He'll do it!

- [teen 1] Oh!

- [teen 2] Hey, damn!

[teen] Yeah, that's right!

[dramatic note plays]

[chuckles] Come on, why the tongue, man?

- [teens jeering]

- [teen] Nice!

- [teen 1] That's it!

- [teen 2] I want that too!

[teen laughing] One more kiss! One more!

- [teens laughing]

- [pensive music playing]

[men exclaiming]

- No way! I'm a box full of surprises, bro.

- [Ronie] You gotta be kidding me.

[Tano] You love coming here!

You love me, you f*cking pothead.

- [Gustavo] Don't exaggerate, dude.

- Come on, just answer, bro.

- [Gustavo] All right.

- [Martín] Okay.

[Gustavo] To be honest,

I like it dirty, you know?

[Tano] You don't say!

Everyone knows about it!

- [Ronie] Tell us something we don't know.

- [Tano] The way he said it!

- [Ronie] As if we didn't know.

- So, anyway.

- When I'm having sex with Lalalis

- [Gustavo] Yeah?

I get out my phone out, and

[imitates moaning]

Then I watch the videos

and jerk off to them.

- [Tano] I don't even know how to respond.

- Come on!

- Do you play it in the living room TV?

- Airplane, music at full volume.

- Do you watch them with your ten kids?

- [men laughing]

- [Martín] Of course not, get out of here!

- [Tano] No judging, we're all sick here.

[Martín] You're all sick!

[Ronie] No one

wants to know your intimate details.

- No one, dude, I mean

- [Tano] It's the doc's turn.

- [dice shaking]

- [Gustavo] Come on, Ernesto.

[Tano] Doc.

[all exclaiming]

Your turn, Netiux.

[all laughing]

[Tano] You've heard too much, doc.

Now it's your turn.

I'd rather you call me "Ernesto."

[Gustavo] Ooh

- Well! sh*t's getting real.

- [Ernesto chuckles]

You messed up.

- [Ronie] Ooh

- He called him "Netiux"?

Netiux. What an a*s.

- All right, doc.

- Mmm-hmm.

How does your wife like to f*ck?

[menacing music playing]

I like it like a marathon.

- Day and night, and don't stop soon!

- [men laughing]

[Ronie] What are you talking about?

[Gustavo] Trying to lighten the mood.

It got very tense here.

- [Martín] Come on, Ernesto.

- [Tano] Go on, doc.

Well, we could change the question, right?

- No!

- [Gustavo] Come on, don't be like that!

[Ronie] I mean, that's how the game goes.

Like

If you lose, you have to answer,

and that's it. It's easy.

This guy confessed

about the cucumber, doc, right?

- You heard that one, didn't you?

- [Ronie] Cucumbers!

The cucumbers, dude!

- [men laughing]

- [menacing music continues]

Look, I was about to let it slide, doc.

I thought, "Well, I'll let it pass."

But you don't have a watch.

Did you forget it at home, or you

you don't wear watches?

My cellphone already has a watch.

I don't need to wear one on my wrist.

- [Tano] Are you serious? You don't

- Let it go, Tano.

No, I'm surprised, because

a guy like you

should wear a watch, you know?

And I'll tell you why,

because I believe I own my own time

Listen, Tano.

I'll say something with all due respect.

I don't need a watch to be able to know

when I'm wasting my time.

[Martín] Ernesto

It's a game, dude, come on.

Look, if you don't have a problem

exposing your spouses like this,

I don't have a problem either.

But I am under no obligation

to participate at this game.

- Okay.

- [Ronie] Just answer the question, man.

We were having a laugh, here, doc.

I thought

Gentlemen, thank you.

Tano, thank you so much for inviting me,

you have a very lovely house.

Thanks.

[menacing music continues]

And let me tell you guys something.

The only thing I feel I really own

is my own right

to choose what I play and with whom.

[Tano] Mmm.

- [Ernesto] Have fun, Ronie.

- [sighs] Hey, I'm sorry, Doc.

[menacing music continues]

[Tere panting] Have you seen

the Ramos's garden?

[Mariana] No, I can't believe it.

[Tere] It's like they forgot

they even have a garden.

[Mariana] I've told Dorita, like, 50 times

and I'm gonna have to fine her.

- [Tere] Do it, girl.

- What is this?

[Tere] Ugh, I can't believe it.

Phew!

Bere!

[Bere] Coming!

- [Tere] Ah!

- [Bere] Coming!

[both panting]

- [Tere] Thanks.

- [Mariana] Thanks, Montse.

[both] Mmm.

- [Tere] By the way

- Yeah?

Did you get to talk to Ernesto?

About what?

- I'll be honest, okay?

- What happened?

- I don't know exactly what happened.

- Mmm-hmm.

But Lala told me

Because Tano doesn't like

talking much, right?

What is it?

Well, Lala told me

Martín told her that Ernesto had been

super rude to our husbands.

He didn't tell you anything?

No.

No, I mean, he told me he had a good time.

- [Tere] Hmm. That's odd.

- Nothing more.

Because, I mean, Lala said he was there

for just, like, 40 minutes, you know?

I get it, those guys

bore him to death, but

I just feel bad, I wish we all got along.

[footsteps approaching]

[Mariana] You have to try again.

[tool clatters]

They're all a bunch of eternal teenagers.

You can't even f*cking pretend, though?

[both sigh]

Look, they can't stand me either, okay?

I barely even left

and already they started scoffing.

I'm sure right now they're saying,

"I'm a big snob, a nerd, a sissy,"

or something like that.

I still don't understand.

Why is this is so important to you?

- Seriously?

- Mmm-hmm.

You do know that my father

died when I was little, right?

- I've told you that.

- Right.

And you remember

how on the same day we buried him,

my uncles came

and took everything from my mom.

All they left for us was the house.

Because farms and companies

are for grown men.

Yes, my love. You told me that too.

I probably didn't tell you that

I was 12 years old.

And on that day,

I promised I would never allow anyone

to take away what truly mattered to me.

And you are not the exception.

So I won't let you keep me

from being a part of this community.

Oh, please.

Mariana

We are both a part

of this community already.

I don't have to simply become a

buffoon who humors Tano

for us to have that.

Why is it so hard

for you to do that for me?

Call Luis.

[Ramona] I, like, really,

really, really feel better, dude.

I mean, we gotta

we gotta stay a little bit longer.

- [Juandi] We gotta stay a bit longer.

- [Ramona] Luis can wait for us. Right?

- [Luis] No, no, no. Let's go.

- [Juandi] You're right, Luis. Luis?

[Ramona] People are just getting here.

- [Juandi] Who cares? They're just late.

- What do you mean?

- It's super early, bro.

- [Juandi] Let me help you.

- We're gonna get some rest.

- [Ramona] We have to enjoy this sh*t.

[Juandi] Okay, don't get mad. Relax.

- Bro?

- [indistinct chatter]

[Juandi] Take care.

- [Juandi chuckling]

- [car door shuts]

[Mavi] Mariana always thought

her daughter really wanted to be like her

and it was just hard for her to admit it.

But what Mariana didn't realize

was that Romina is Ramona.

[soft music playing]

[ominous music playing]

[yells] God damn it,

what the f*ck did you do, what is this?

[shrieking]

- What the f*ck, Mariana?

- It's "Mom."

I'm going to the hair salon later.

You know,

in case you want to come with me.

No f*cking way!

[soft music playing]

[Ramona laughing]

- [laughing]

- [Pedro] Oh, no!

Don't ask me

why I'm about to tell you this, but

Never do anything you don't wanna do.

[Pedro clicks tongue]

[sighs] Sometimes you're,

like, super weird.

I don't understand you at all.

[Ramona] Well, you know

What I said.

[Pedro] I still don't get it.

[Ramona] Don't let anyone boss you around.

- Especially not Matías Scaglia.

- [clicks tongue]

- [Pedro] He doesn't boss me around.

- Good.

[Pedro exhales]

[Ramona] I think you were right.

Maybe our parents

didn't really love us when we were born.

[Pedro] That's why you should

make an effort to love mom.

[sighs] Mariana!

She actually loves us.

[door opens and closes]

[Ramona] Why the hell don't you

ever talk about my mom, huh?

[somber music playing]

- Well, maybe because I'm your mom?

- Gimme a break, Mariana.

Just because you don't say it

doesn't mean it's not true.

I'm talking about my mom, the real one.

Get mad all you want.

Throw tantrums all you want.

But right now, you are looking

at your real mom.

"I found, then I chose"

And then, "You raised" Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You've told me that story, Mariana.

[Ramona sniffles]

- [somber music playing]

- [crying softly] She just left me?

Just like that?

[stifling tears] She was my age

when she had me.

[crying] I guess she cursed me

and gave me away.

[somber music continues]

[crying] Why, Mariana?

Come here, sit down.

Do you remember when you asked

if I ever imagined a different life

if I hadn't married Ernesto?

I didn't.

I've always wanted to be a mom.

[voice breaking] And if things

didn't go according to plan,

I'd try again and again

until my body couldn't take it anymore.

So I had to stop trying.

And that's when we went looking for you.

Do you want some eggs and ham? [laughs]

- That's your favorite, right?

- [sniffles]

Where's Montse?

It's Christmas.

[somber music continues]

I know you ask Ernesto for cash.

You were saving up to get out of here.

It's okay.

At your age, I remember

how desperate I was to get out too.

- [laughs] Seriously?

- Mmm-hmm.

How do they look?

I love them.

They're yours now.

Really?

Thanks, Mar

Mom.

What?

- What did you say? I couldn't hear you.

- [laughs]

What did you say?

Mom.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26

[Mariana] Montse?

Ernesto?

[Ernesto] Yes?

- [Mariana] What are you doing here?

- Why?

You're supposed to be at Tano's!

- [Ernesto sighs]

- I knew it.

- I knew you were going to do it again!

- Listen, Mariana

- I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!

- Mariana, please, sweetheart.

I'll make it up to you some other way.

How do you plan to do that?

Tell me! You'll get me fleshier lips?

- Bigger t*ts? Bigger a*s?

- Hey

Why don't you get yourself some ba*ls?

Listen, Mariana.

I have never disrespected you, okay?

- Be mindful of what you say!

- It's fine.

It's perfect. You can't do this for me,

I can't do anything for you.

If you don't sacrifice, I don't sacrifice!

It's fine!

[Ernesto] Hey

Mariana, listen

Go talk to your butterflies.

- Mariana, please don't go.

- [heels clacking]

[intriguing music playing]

- [Tere] No, don't go!

- [Mariana] Stay just a little more.

[Lala] Yeah, right.

Yeah, yeah, you're so nice, I'm leaving.

[Tere] Yeah, you're nice as well.

Take care, then.

[Lala] Thanks for driving me home.

- [Tere] Get some rest.

- You too, bye.

[Lala sighs]

Ugh, so many damn changes.

Tano's issue

Teresa.

[Tere] Mmm?

Can you tell me why you seemed so worried

when we went to pick up Mavi?

- You were so pale! Right, Nacho?

- [Nacho laughs]

You were, like, transparent.

See? Even Nacho agrees.

- [Tere] What are you talking about?

- Oh, stop with the act. I know you, honey.

- [Tere] Nacho, can we have a moment alone?

- [Mariana] I knew it.

- [Nacho] Yes, ma'am.

- [door opens]

- [door closes]

- [Mariana] Thank you, Nachi!

[Mavi] That day, that Thursday

Our lives, our secrets

It was all about to change.

- [clatters]

- [Mariana exclaims]

Shh, shh, shh

[intriguing music continues]

[intriguing music continues]

[chuckles softly]

[Ernesto grunts]

[laughs]

Sorry, will you forgive me?

[Ernesto laughs softly]

- [Mariana] Hmm?

- I am sorry, my love.

Forgive me.

Well, should I?

I don't know if I want to.

- [Ernesto] Mmm.

- Will you convince me?

- [Ernesto] Of course.

- Hmm?

[softly] Forgive me.

[vibrating and ringing]

[Mariana sighs] It's my phone,

wait a minute.

- [Ernesto mutters]

- Wait a minute! Wait a minute.

- [Ernesto sighs]

- [vibrating and ringing continue]

Honey, what happened?

What?

[grave music playing]

[Ernesto] What is it?

[grave music continues]

[Tere whimpers]

[grave music continues]

[bones crunch]

[Mavi] Ernesto must have been

the first one to know,

since he was the first to arrive.

What did he know before any of us?

That it was an accident.

A terrible accident.

That's what we were all

going to tell ourselves.

Because it was

in our best interest to do so.

- [dissonant music playing]

- [Mavi] Accidents happen all the time.

[dissonant music building]
