I love you.
I love you too. So much.

See you tomorrow at nine.
[Raphael] Oh…
[sighs]
[sighs deeply]
-Hey, Raphael, are you okay?
-Yes!
-Okay.
-Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm fine, honey. Okay?
-You were great, as always.
-So were you.
-Get rest.

Tomorrow. I'll take one with me.
-All right.
-Thanks.

-Yeah?
-I've been a big fan since I was a kid.

Having to rehearse the show again.
It's a new theater, so… it's exhausting.
No. They just sent dinner up to my room.
No, I'll be going to sleep soon.
I'm wiped out.
Yeah.
Well… Love you.

[somber piano music playing]
[groans]
[somber music intensifies]
[Raphael groans]
Honey…
[chuckles softly]
Honey…
Darling.
What's this about?
Darling.
I thought you were in Madrid.
I'm so happy to see you.
After all this time together,
that's sweet.
-It is.
-[chuckles]
Mm…
-Did you see what happened?
-Mm-hmm.
I went too far, huh?
A little.
-I'm exhausted, darling.
-I know.
I have to tell the conductor
not to go so fast in the Emma scene.
-The music overpowers me.
-Rafael…
-I can't keep up.
-People don't notice.
Well, but I do.
-Okay.
-I do.
On opening night,
everything is magnified.
[Natalia] Yeah.
[groans]
What's this?
Oh, Vicente sent me that
for the fluid retention.
But it makes me
run to the bathroom every break.
I'm not sure this is fluid retention.
Well, I'm definitely not pregnant.
-Rafael…
-What?
-Listen to me.
-What's up?
Someone recommended a specialist.
A brilliant doctor, Enrique Moreno.
-He's the best.
-Natalia, no.
-He's the best.
-Natalia, no.
You know doctors use any excuse
to drag you into tests and nonsense.
I don't have time.
Opening night is coming up.
Right.
Besides, I'm fine.
Have you noticed anything off?
My voice, or…?
No. Not your voice.
Then I'm fine.
[grunts]
Hey.
Now that you're here,
want to go out for dinner?
There are a couple of places
I need to go to.
They invite me every night.
I just don't feel like it.
What's this doing here?
In case someone comes by
and feels like having… a drink or…
Sometimes I have a drink after rehearsals.
-Sometimes?
-Yes, Natalia, sometimes.
It's a very demanding show,
and I end up wiped out, dammit.
I'd never k*lled a person.
Now I k*ll three or four a night.
Rafael, come on.
Dr. Moreno needs to see you.
-No, Natalia.
-Please.
Natalia, I said no!
Either you call him, or I will.
[tense music playing]
[Moreno] Breathe.
-[exhales]
-Breathe a little deeper.
[takes a deep breath]
And now take a deep breath…
and let it out slowly.
[Raphael breathing deeply]
Very good, let's see.
-Can you lie down, please?
-Sure.
-Should I take my shirt off?
-Yes. Unbutton your shirt.
That's enough.
Okay. Let's see.
Let's see what we've got here.
[footsteps echoing]
[music grows ominous]
[echoing] Does it hurt?
Does it hurt here?
You can get up now, Raphael.
Okay.
Call your wife.
-My wife? What for?
-I'm having you admitted.
-Is it serious?
-If we don't do something… it will be.
[monitor beeping]
[nurse] Now, don't move or talk.
Relax your eye.
[unsettling music playing]
[Moreno] Raphael,
this isn't just fluid retention.
Something's wrong with your liver.
Actually, something's very wrong.
[music fades]
Anemia, low white blood cells,
low platelets,
due to chronic liver disease
of cirrhotic origin.
Cirrhotic?
Cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis.
But does that…? I mean…
Can I recover? Is there a cure?
The key is keeping it from getting worse.
If we can do that, we'll be lucky.
-Sorry to put it that way, but--
-No, it's all right.
It's serious.
Yeah, but I feel fine.
No, Doctor.
He doesn't. Of course he doesn't.
Some days he's so tired,
he can't get out of bed.
Why are you talking like I'm not here?
Then I'll say it to you, Rafael.
Stop saying you feel fine. It's not true.
-Aren't you tired?
-What's that have to do with my liver?
Listen to the doctor.
Doctor, can you tell him again?
You should listen to her.
[whispers] I always do.
[distant barking]
[tense music rises]
[Natalia sighs]
[exhales]
[softly] Rafael?
Rafael?
Rafael?
Rafael!
[Raphael groans]
Rafael!
-[groans]
-Darling.
-[moaning]
-Honey, what happened?
[Raphael murmurs]
Come on. Sit up. Here.
[mumbling] No, I fell. I…
-Come here, honey.
-I fell.
Lean on me.
Easy.
-[Raphael] I was going for a…
-Come on…
[Raphael] A glass… Did the glass break?
-[Natalia] It didn't.
-[Raphael] No?
-[Natalia] It's okay.
-[Raphael] I don't know…
[Natalia] Easy.
We're going to the hospital.
[unsettling music playing]
[music fades]
[sighs]
Hi.
How are you? Are you okay?
Mm.
Been better.
[exhales]
I've been talking to Dr. Moreno
and the whole medical team.
Am I in bad shape?
You'll have to take it easy.
-But I have to go to…
-You can't go anywhere.
-Where do you want to go?
-Yeah, to Mexico. I can't miss it.
Rafael, are you listening to me?
Natalia. Damn it, it's Mexico.
This is your health.
Help me up.
-You want to sit up?
-Yeah.
All right.
Lean on that. There.
[exhales]
Do I look awful?
I look like hell.
-What do you expect?
-Right.
I'll have to really watch what I eat,
drink only water, right?
You know I can do that.
Natalia, you know I have
a lot of willpower.
You have hepatitis B.
-But if it's hepatitis B…
-There's no cure.
But there is an option.
What option?
A transplant. We've already put you
on the waiting list.
It's the only way you can…
get back to life as normal.
No.
-Why not?
-Because no.
-Think about it.
-No, it's not in my script.
-Do it for the kids…
-I said no! No!
Call Alicia. We have to prep for Mexico.
You're not going.
-Give me the phone. I'll call her!
-The tour's been canceled, Rafael.
-What?
-Alicia called the Mexicans.
They understood completely.
You had no right.
You had no right!
You can't do this to me!
Go away.
Go away! Leave me alone, leave me.
Get out!
Leave me alone. Please. Leave me alone.
["El tamborilero" playing]
Please. Leave me alone.
Leave me alone, please.
Please, leave me alone.

-It's okay.
-I'm not like that.
Yes, don't worry. We know.
[music fades]
[Natalia sniffles]
[Moreno] Natalia.
Just a second.
Natalia, don't worry, okay?
It's fairly normal.
But how can I not worry, Doctor?
He insulted a nurse.
-Rafael isn't a violent person.
-I know.
Look, what happened to him
was a kind of… psychotic episode,
what we technically call encephalopathy.
I'm not sure that makes me feel better.
His liver can't filter the toxins
produced by his metabolism.
So some of them stay in the blood
and reach the brain.
No need to worry.
It doesn't have to happen again.
He isn't himself.
[somber music playing]
He's always sad,
wandering around the house, pacing.
He locks himself in his study,
then starts pacing again…
The truth is,
the kids are terribly worried.
The truth is, we're all pretty devastated.
[Moreno] Yes, well…
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Thanks.
Well, I'll leave you.
[tender music playing]
-[weakly] Natalia…
-I'm here.
[kisses]
I'm here.

[chatter intensifies]
-How's your father?
-My father is fine. Thank you.
[Alejandra sighs]
I'm sorry, honey.
They're here day and night.
-How are you?
-Fine. And you, Mom?
-Fine.
-Dad?
He's by the pool.
-I'll make calls and go down.
-Okay.
Hi, Dad.
[Raphael] Honey.
-Don't get up.
-How could I not get up?
Mmm…
How are you? Hmm?
How are you?
Hanging in there.
[Raphael sighs]
Are you okay?
Mm-hmm.
Now that you're here… better.
-Listen, Dad.
-What's up?
I don't know
if I should tell you this so soon, but…
I'm pregnant.
[Alejandra chuckles]
-You're…?
-Yes.
-Honey, come here.
-[laughs]
My little girl…
Thank you.
Why are you thanking me? Being pregnant?
Who knows? Just because.
Grandpa.
A grandchild.
Mm-hmm.
That's wonderful news.
-You can't say anything.
-Mm-mm.
My lips are sealed.
No one knows,
and I don't want people getting nervous.
[both sigh]
It's a girl.
-A girl.
-[chuckles]
A girl.
-When are you due?
-August.
-Wow, August.
-Yeah.
-Like you?
-Mm.
Well, and like Jacobo.
-And like Mom.
-And like Mom. My God.
Four Leos.
-Four. [laughs]
-Four.
Pfft. [laughs]
Do you already know the name…?
Manuela.
Manuela.
Manuela.
Manuela.
Dad, I want my daughter to meet you.
Why wouldn't she meet me?
If you don't get the transplant,
you won't make it.
And I want you to meet her
and play with her and…
sing to her.
I don't want you to die.
Neither does your granddaughter.
[somber music playing]
But I…
I'm not going to die.
Come here.
I'm not going to die.
[somber music continues]
Natalia…
What is it? Are you okay?
Do you need anything?
Yes.
Yes?
Yes, what?
Yes to the transplant.
Natalia.
Forgive me.
No…
-[Raphael kisses]
-[sobs]
Do you know we can be donors
if we're compatible?
Darling, I can't do that to you.
Listen to me, there's no danger.
The liver regenerates.
Rafael, please, we all want to help you.
I know.
I know.
-[nurse] Okay, this will be tight.
-Okay.
Make a fist for me, please.
Perfect.
A little prick here.
It stings a bit, I know.
You'll feel a pinch.
[somber music continues]
[doctor] Let's see
what that heart tells us.
Breathe.
Let me see.
Does it hurt?
What doesn't hurt?
And here?
Less.
[knocking on door]
-[nurse] Excuse me, Doctor.
-Come in.
[nurse] Here are the results.
-Thank you, Belén.
-[music fades]
Well, we have all the results now.
Mm…
Jacobo and Manuel aren't compatible.
Only Alejandra could work.
Alejandra shouldn't even have been tested.
She's pregnant.
Then it wouldn't be wise.
It's not happening.
-We'll wait for a voluntary donor.
-Yes.
Spanish law is very strict
to prevent organ trafficking.
What's the solution?
Wait. All we can do is wait.
Of course, if a donor appears,
we'll let you know.
-Thank you, Doctor.
-Thank you.
If you'll excuse me…
-[door opens, closes]
-[Raphael clicks tongue]
[sighs] Then we wait.
We wait.
[cries out]
-[sobs] It stings so much!
-What's wrong?
-What?
-It stings.
-It's the bilirubin.
-It stings!
-The doctor told us this would happen.
-I can't!
- Manuel!
-It itches!
-Manuel!
-[grunting]
-Okay.
-Manuel, help me!
-Easy.
-Run a hot bath.
-I'm going.
-We'll give you a bath.
-It burns so much!
-Easy, hon.
Easy, honey.

Easy, Dad. Easy.

You mean…
we did it.
Though it wasn't easy, was it?
At times…
I thought I wouldn't make it.
Every stage,
every concert, every step,
every test…
it's all been a challenge.
A challenge that, when all is said
and done, still isn't over.
Mmm.
There's more?
There's always more.

-Raphael!

May I?

never ask for permission.
