01x08 - Cecilia's Call

[bunniefuu]

You woke up very pretty.

Good morning.

Dad! You can't
come in like that.

What's wrong with you?

Mr. Jaime, could you do
this some other time?

I just ate a prune.

Do you think I can do
this some other time?

Oh, my God. Dad!

I don't think he can
do it another time.

Dad, come on! Oh, my God.

Close the door! At
least close the...

You didn't lock the door.

- Now close your eyes.
- Okay. Like this?

Close your eyes.

- Close your eyes.
- There it goes!

I see your coordination
is improving.

Now it's your turn.

So I can see your coordination
with a clinical eye.

My coordination is just fine.
Actually, my coordination is...

Is great.

Okay. If you want me to do it,

- you'll have to give me a kiss.
- You're such a cheater!

Okay.

And another one, and
one more, and one more.

Mom!

- No, no, no. Hey, stop!
- Mom! Mommy!

- Okay.
- No, but I'm going to tell her...

- I will tell her.
- Why do you want me to...

Hello, sweeties! Good morning!

No, no, hold on!

It's the same! Look at
my bedroom! Tell them!

I want them out of my room!

- It's fine! I've had enough!
- One at a time! One at a time.

One at a time, please. Hold
on. One at a time. Majo, go.

Why Majo first?

Baby, because... It's random.
Okay, Majo. What's up?

Romina's been in
bed all day long.

She doesn't do anything.
She's depressed.

You're overreacting!

Why would you say
that? Seriously...

Hold on. Romi. Listen, baby.

I have seen you laying down
a lot too. What's going on?

Are you okay? Or are
you just feeling lazy?

What I have is the bad luck
of having you as a sister!

Mom, tell Majo to take her
stuff and get out of my room!

I'm 20 years old! I
need some privacy!

- All right!
- Privacy to bang my brother?

What's the matter with you? My
life's none of your business!

No, I'm the only one who's...

Stop it, please!

Ask Mrs. Cecilia!

- What's up, Alma?
- Your father

is telling me to make breakfast,
but I already told him

that I am no longer
a housekeeper,

that I'm a personal assistant.

Please, tell him,
Mrs. Cecilia. Please.

So you're going to
tell me she's right?

Right, Dad, but...

Silence.

On and on...

Silence!

Cecilia is in recovery, and
she needs peace and quiet.

This kind of behavior could
cause her another CVA.

- Get out of this bedroom.
- There you go.

- Get out, now.
- You heard him. Go.

Get out, now.

You too. This is not
only about them. You too.

- Get out, now.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Ceci, why don't you come

to my place for a few days?

You need a quiet place
where you can recover.

I don't want you to
have another accident,

like the last two times.

Say yes.

They won't understand, if I go
to your place. No. How could I?

They need me here. I can't
leave, just like that.

They'll understand.

And we can leave,
just like that.

Ceci!

Good thing no one
has my address.

- Yeah, right?
- Yes.

Leave the package by the door!

Ana, it's me. Open
the door, please.

Ana, I know you're there.
I already heard you.

Open the door, please!

Ana. Listen.

Holy sh*t...! What...?

How long have you been here?

How long has it been since
you last cleaned, Ana?

You smell like burp.

When was the last
time you had a shower?

Who cares!

Not even Cecilia cares anymore

since she started
dating that freak.

She forgot that she has a sister
who left everything for her

when she was in the
hospital. Everything!

Precisely, we need
to get Cecilia back.

And I have an idea
to save the bakery.

Forget about the
bakery. We screwed up.

We have nothing. No boyfriend,
no girlfriend, nothing. Nothing.

I can't just forget about
the bakery. I can't!

I need it, and so
do you! Look at you!

You look at yourself.

Ana, listen to me.

We'll talk to
Adolfo and Mercedes.

She wrote the book on Cecilia,
and made a ton of money.

She has to help us.

But I won't shower.

Wow! So pretty!

Thank you.

It's so pretty.

- Do you like it?
- I love it.

Yes.

This is so great! So much space!

Come! Would you like to
see something amazing?

Let's see. Oh! Your fish!

Beto, Ruperto...

- And this one?
- Flamberto. Spinach.

- Spinach?
- Yes.

Welcome.

Wow!

Oh, such a nice view.

The terrace! So beautiful!

And the silence!

Here, you'll be able to rest.

- It's so quiet.
- It is.

- And everything is so tidy!
- Yes.

Of course. Yes, yes. Of course.

Yes, of course. You're
not a psychopath, are you?

I understand your concerns.

There are so many
misconceptions surrounding.

Asperger's. Different...

You're joking. It's
very hard for me to know

when people are joking...

I find it deeply
charming. Everything.

Everything. You, and
this is charming too.

Really?

Although I do feel
like doing this...

Just a little.

Just a little. A little!

- It's just a little bit.
- No. Could you...?

I think it's best if...

I'll put it back later.
I'll do it. I'll do it!

- You're stepping on...
- Come on!

You'll put it back.

Martín, what are you doing here?

I...

I need to talk to you.

Are you all right?
What happened?

I'm in love with you.

Yes, I know you think
that's impossible,

and trust me, I do too,

but a stronger, more
willful part of me

can't stop thinking about you.

I don't want to give you up.

But...

But I can't give sex up, either.

And I don't want you
to give sex up. Please!

I know.

I understand, and that's why
I came up with a solution.

But it's only going to
work if it works for you.

Okay? And

the idea is somewhat millennial,
so please, don't judge me.

Well, okay. I've been
thinking how we could be

together, you and I.

And I thought that maybe,

if you wanted, we could
have an open relationship.

Open relationship?

But with a pact.

Okay? Listen.

I can have sex
with anyone I want.

And, obviously, if you want
to, you can have sex...

Martín,

I don't want to have
sex. With anyone. Anyone.

I understand.

But the most important
part of this, the pact,

is that the love between us,

the romance, the tenderness,
that will be just between us.

Okay?

All the sweetness, the
days in our p.j.'s,

those will be ours,
and no one else's.

What do you think?

I'm not saying no...

But I'm not saying
yes, either. I'm saying

let me think about it.

Okay.

Hello, Germán. What's up?

Where are you?

I can't tell you. But what do
you need? I'm a little busy.

Okay, Ceci, I really need
your help. My career,

and whatever's left of my
self-esteem, depend on this.

You're so dramatic, really.

- Did you know that?
- Okay, Ceci.

What's up?

No, no. I can't talk about it
on the phone. I need to see you.

Okay, so that's when I thought
my mother could be a nettle.

If you touch it, it can
hurt you very much, but...

Like a cactus.

Did you hate it?
You didn't like it.

Maybe you could
change the subject.

- Really?
- No, I mean,

the botanic metaphor,

that's great, and it has worked,
but you could do something else.

What else? Give me an example.

I don't know, like

domestic animals, I don't know.

I mean, I don't
know! Do you like it?

- All right. All right. Okay.
- I love you!

Animals, but what...?

Don't be such a lapdog.
Lapdog! You're not one, but...

- No, no.
- Lapdog.

Lapdog.

- Hey, Germán.
- What?

Please do something about Simón
and Elena. I'm so worried.

I'm so scared. That could go so
wrong, and they'll be so hurt.

And wouldn't it be good
for you to talk to them?

Are you planning to stay here,
live in this place? Or...?

- Oh, come on. What?
- Ceci, listen.

We miss you, and
we need you too.

Me too, but... Nothing,
I just need some rest.

Okay, you can rest
with your family,

in a place of peace and harmony.

Oh, damn. You have to go.
Go, go. The thing with

the nettle of the dog.

Whatever. Both are good!

- Are you sure?
- Yes, bye. Bye.

- Germán!
- What?

- Go!
- Okay!

Okay...

- Ceci!
- Hello!

- Hi, beautiful.
- Hello!

Good morning. Did
you sleep well?

Good morning! Yes. Great.

- Good.
- Amazing. What you got there?

- These are for you.
- For me?

They're so pretty!

- Thank you.
- I'm very happy to.

- I have a surprise for you too.
- Let's see?

- Yes.
- Okay.

- May I look?
- No! Just wait a little bit.

- Is that what smells so good?
- Absolutely.

Look at this.

- Chan!
- Wow!

- It's delicious.
- Is it? Good.

By the way,

I found this at the hospital.
You may find it interesting.

It's a self-support group

for people with symptoms
of emotional codependence.

I thought it could help you deal
with all your family problems.

I see. Okay.

- I'll go see who it is.
- Yes.

Oh, God.

How do you know where I live?

- Cecilia is resting.
- That's fine.

I want to talk to you.

Cecilia's favorite flowers.

Give them to her
when she wakes up.

I understand that, given your
condition, you may not realize,

but Cecilia needs her family.

I think it's you who need her.

Let me give you a piece
of advice, Jiménez.

Don't take Cecilia
away from her family.

If you want her love, you have
to fit in, like we all have...

I don't want to take Cecilia
away from her family. I...

Cecilia has to be at her house.

We know how to take care of her.

You're more than
welcome, anytime.

That's not your house.

You can't welcome
people just like that.

It's more my house than yours.

Experience is a grade,
my friend. Remember that.

Goodbye.

- More?
- For you.

Oh, come on! More flowers!

Adolfo brought them.

He came to tell me to take
you back to your family.

Did you give them my address?

I... No,

I mean, I...

- I could go to this, you think?
- Yes.

I mean, I should at
least try. Right?

Today, we have a new
addition to our group.

- Welcome, Cecilia.
- Thank you.

Would you like to
tell us your story?

I... Yes. Yes.

The first step
towards acceptance...

- Is presentation.
- Right. I...

Hello.

I'm Cecilia,

and I am codependent.

Okay. I should say that.

- Yes.
- Yes. Yes.

Well, hello, everyone.
I'm Cecilia, and I'm,

and I... what...?

If you want, we can
start with someone else.

It's normal to feel
some resistance

to declare yourself
as codependent...

Yes.

But remember, Cecilia.
It's the first step

to acceptance.

- Okay. Thank you. Yes.
- Anyone else like to start?

- Hello.
- Hello.

I'm José Luis...

Thank you.

- Ceci.
- This is so exciting!

- Mom!
- Hello!

Sweetie! I missed you!

- Where's Romi?
- She stayed at home, Mom.

- She did?
- Wow. Looks like a movie set.

Someone really lives here?

Well, people with Asperger's
have that compulsion, right?

Some sort of OCD that...

- They're so uncluttered.
- Just like me.

Thank you for the diagnosis.

Listen,

what do you want?

Because José Alfredo
will be here soon,

and I don't want him to see you
here. You can stay, sweetie.

We want to re-open the bakery.

What?

- How?
- It was Mercedes' idea.

- No.
- No. Actually, it was our idea.

Mercedes will invest money.

And with the book royalties,
we'll be able to pay our debts,

buy base materials,

hire new bakers.

This time, with the
legal age to work.

And everything will work
out perfectly, because

you'll be there.

Are you really investing
the book royalties

in the bakery?

I am. I owe it to you, Cecilia.

The book is about you.

It's our thank-you gift.

Ceci. We need you.

Mom's bakery won't die.

I don't know what to tell you.

Oh, my God! Okay!

I have a new story, called...

Yes. How? What
will be the title?

There's something
I want to tell you.

- Yes?
- Yes.

I found a lot of information

of an amazing retreat
at the Galapagos.

There, you can swim,

meditate, and take all
kinds of therapies.

Including fish therapy, which
are supposed to be fascinating.

Sounds great! And the
Galapagos! That sounds amazing.

Right? If you want, we can go.

There, you'll be able to rest,

and you and I could spend
some time as a couple,

away from all the
pressures of...

My family.

I was going to say "the
outside world," but yeah.

- Also your family.
- I love it.

You do?

I mean, yeah.

I didn't know if you wanted to
go, but I made a reservation.

We leave next week. It'll
be a month-long trip.

It's important for you to know

that this place is
completely offline.

It really is incommunicado.

- Okay.
- Yes.

But I... Okay.

But do we have to leave
so soon? I mean, I...

I have no problem
with the hospital.

I can actually ask for my dates

right now, when I talk to them.

Yes. I haven't taken days off
since 2015, when I got divorced.

- And we'd be there for a month.
- Yes.

- Your tea is ready.
- Okay.

I'll bring it to you.

Okay. A month. A month...

DULCE'S BAKERY

- Cecilia, hi. What do you think?
- Hello.

The menu for the re-opening.

It looks amazing,
Adolfo. Thank you!

- Guess what.
- Hi, sweetie!

I just got.

Bloody Unicorn to come
play at the reopening.

It was very hard, you know?
Because they're anti-capitalism.

I see. And what song
would they play?

Whichever.

Yes. We could choose,
for the occasion.

Amazing! What's
up, my sweet baby?

Come see the self-service
table. You won't believe it.

If someone wants to prepare
their own bread, they come here,

and they do it the
way they like it,

with the supervision
of our master bakers.

Oh! This is amazing, baby!

Did you put all this together?

- What do you think?
- Baby! I think it's amazing!

What else could I think?

My sweet, sweet baby!

And Romi? Where's my Romi?

Well, of course.

I couldn't have done
this without Romi.

She's so amazing
with social media.

My sweet baby.

She took care of
all the promotion.

- Did you?
- No. I didn't do anything.

Don't even talk to me about
social media, okay? Please.

Sweetie, you and I have to talk
about the doctor thing, okay?

But I'm fine.

I know, sweetie. But
we'll talk about it later.

- I love you.
- Ceci.

I'm coming! I'm coming! What?

It's just a tiny
thing. Very quickly.

Okay.

- I love you.
- I love you more.

- What is it? Really?
- Your sister and I

want to show you something!

A new pastry line!

Yeah?

It'll be called, "If your
life's sh*t, eat bread."

No. That's not the name.
We're still working on that.

But who...?

Okay. You...

Hey. How are you?

Oh! My Güero.

It goes, "In this life",

you ought to aspire
to be a Chihuahua.

Not a Marquis, not a politician.

If you want to have
fun, you have to be

"a Chihuahua."

- Chihuahua?
- Yes.

Okay, okay. Okay.

No, okay! The dog, Chihuahua?

Oh, the dog! Yes. Yes.

Right, and that's the end.

Yes, it's amazing!
Yes, yes, yes.

Listen, if you
don't like the name,

we can go with, "If your
life is sh*t, eat Dulce,"

instead of "bread."

Or, "If your life is
sh*t, eat sweet bread."

Yes.

Yes, yes, I like that.

And I think you're
making a mistake,

and I can't just stand
here and do nothing,

because I know you're not
related by blood. I know.

But that's how we raised you.
And that bond is unconditional.

And do you know what
worries me the most?

That, as a couple,
you might break up,

and I'm scared that that day,

the most sacred bond will be
broken, which is the family...

You said you didn't care
about what Cecilia thought.

How could I not care, Simón?

She's my mom.

So you're going to give
up everything we have,

just because it makes
Cecilia uncomfortable?

Seriously?

What if she's right, Simón?

If we end up breaking
up, like everyone else,

and end up hating each other?

Elena, I'm not
like everyone else.

I know you're not
like everyone else.

Precisely because of that.

Because I love you.

I'd rather have you for the
rest of my life, as a brother,

than a few months,
like a boyfriend.

Do you have so
little faith in us?

No, no, no. Look
at me. Look at me.

Lately, I don't have
much faith in anything.

Where are you going?

To my mom's.

She's the only one
who doesn't judge us.

Hello!

Hi, sweetie!

- Hello.
- I hope you're hungry.

I made dinner.

What?

So yummy! I'm so hungry!

Good.

Well...

I think I'm a little
less hungry, now.

I find it fascinating.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Where were you?

I went

to this thing at
the girls' school.

Good.

I finally was able to talk to
the Galapagos retreat manager.

We have scuba-diving
reservations

for the first five days.

I don't know if I can do that,
to be honest. I swim like

a drowning dog.

I can teach you.

Cecilia, I had never wanted
to go to deep-sea with anyone.

I'm very excited.

Sara!

Sara, where are you?

I'm sorry.

I miss you so much!

Come find me.

If you dare.

That's a striped catfish.

That's an extremely
interesting species.

You're tired.

If you want, we can turn off
the lights, and go to sleep.

Good.

- Hey. Listen.
- Yes?

I have to confess something.

Please, don't get mad.

I can't get mad about
something I don't know.

- Right.
- Yes.

These days you've been
going to the hospital,

I've been going to work too.

- To the bakery.
- That's not good.

You need to rest.

Well, I am resting,

- but I'm fine.
- You need rest to fully recover.

Hey, José. Thank you
for worrying for me,

but I'm old enough
to know my limits.

Sometimes, it
doesn't look like it.

I don't appreciate that
paternalistic tone.

You need someone to
take care of you,

you don't take care of yourself.

My family takes care of me.

Your family wants you
back at the bakery,

so you can provide for everyone.

Your family doesn't care about
your space, nor your recovery.

Don't talk like that about them.

I mean, you don't even
know them. Please.

What will happen with
our trip to Galapagos?

Did you say you'd come
just to keep me happy,

but knowing deep down
that you wouldn't come?

Yes, we're going to Galapagos.
I do want to go to Galapagos.

When?

We can go later.

Your family will always find
some excuse to hold you back.

That's the truth.

I think I'll spend
the night at my place.

So you're not coming
tomorrow to the reopening?

I think I'll take the
flight to the Galapagos.

I want to go.

- Okay.
- Even if it's alone.

Your ticket is available,
in case you want to use it.

Okay.

Thank you for driving me home.

I'll wait here until
you walk inside.

- Okay.
- It's for your safety.

Hello. You're
calling Dr. Jiménez.

Leave your message.

Ma'am, I'll get
going to the car.

Okay, Alma. We'll see you there.

Mom, it's time. Let's go.

Yes. Okay. Yeah. Let's go.

Where's your grandpa?
Let's go, Daddy.

Yes, yes. Hold on.

I'm sh1tting my pants.

Oh, Daddy. Okay.

Hurry. We'll see you at the car.

Hello.

Are you ready for the reopening?

Okay. Wait for me
downstairs, please, sweetie.

Go ahead. Go, go, go.
I'll be right there.

Germán.

You too. Yes.

Yes, yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

Great.

You didn't answer
my call last night.

I missed you.

- That's good.
- Why?

Because you can only miss
that which gives you pleasure,

or peace, or happiness.

Why are you here?

Because I realized that
by trying to protect you,

I was pressuring you too.

I don't want to be a
stress factor in your life.

So you are coming
to the reopening.

Shall we go together?

- Yes?
- Yes.

Yes.

How are you feeling?

Emotionally? Or clinically?

Judging by your evolution,

I can see that the
headaches are in remission.

Emotionally, I
can't say anything,

because I need a
syntactical structure

to be able to understand.

Okay. Here goes my
syntactical structure, then.

I should be very happy.

So very happy,
for the reopening,

but I'm not.

- I don't understand.
- Neither do I.

I just know this is how I feel.

What do you feel?

That I want to go with you,

see those ugly fish that live
in the bottom of the sea.

The abysm fish live at a
depth of 3,280 feet. No human

can go that deep,
unless they have...

Leaving technicalities aside,

I feel very excited
to be able to go

and run away for a
little while with you,

and to be able to find...

I don't know. To
find each other?

So we're going to Galapagos?

Okay, let me pack
my suitcase, okay?

Tell everyone that
we'll join them soon.

- Can I give you a kiss?
- Yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm feeling nervous
for the reopening.

- I don't know why.
- It's normal.

- Aren't we forgetting something?
- No.

I feel like we're
forgetting something.

sh*t. My father.

- We forgot my father.
- Yes.

He stayed home!

We're almost at the
bakery. If you want...

Okay. Majo!

Mom! Mom! Something
happened at the bakery!

- Majo!
- We need to get out of here!

- Let Romina know!
- Majo!

Majo!

The street is closed.

Mom!

DULCE'S BAKERY

What's going to happen now?

We'll build ourselves from
the ground up, sweetie.

No matter what.

I promise.

Cecilia!

Are you okay?

Fortunately, no one got hurt.
That's what matters the most.

Do we know how this happened?

I can't say for sure yet,

but we think the fire
was set intentionally

from inside the establishment.

- Excuse me.
- Yeah.

There's not much
you can do here.

- Cecilia?
- Yes.

Mom. Come.

Cecilia?

Mom!

Shall we?
