WARNING: The following episode
contains themes related to mental health

and suicidal ideation.
Viewer discretion is advised.

You are addicted to your own self
'cause all you think about is you.

PREVIOUSLY

Don't you think I'm, uh, selfish…

You're a little self-centered sometimes,
but I love you the way you are.

Maybe we're just meant
to be close friends.

You're really gonna trade all this
for a wrecking ball?

Because that's what she is.

I'm a little package.

[Eduardo] So we're taking your franchise
all over Brazil.

You'll never have to work another day
in your life.

[Victor] But I do want to work.

-This burger joint is what I live for.
-[Bia] Really desperate.

My savings aren't looking so good now.

I have a job for you.

I want you to write a movie for me.

-The condom broke.
-Maybe I prefer to take the risk.

-Of having a baby?
-What do you want the most in life?

-To have a family with you.
-Ta-da! [chuckles]

But how about you?

Did you invite Marcelo?
He's your friend, I've accepted that.

I love you so much I could even end
up being friends with him myself.

I wanted to ask if you could write it
for me.

I think I only know how to write
about love when I'm in love.

[Bia's mother] Sweetheart are you not
in love with Victor?

Will you marry me?

[Lucas] You wrote a mature, grown-up
story, but it still has your voice.

Pack your bags.
We're going to Porto Alegre.

Why didn't you share any of that
with me, Bia?

Because I didn't think
it was gonna work out.

Because it never does.

Do you really wanna marry me?

Or was it just a plan B
while the rest of your life was a mess?

Thank you.

This is me now,
trying to get my head straight,

searching for peace,

and that kind of comfort can only come
from someone

who wouldn't dare judge me
for anything at all.

Nothing seems to make me happy.

Bia, almost all my director friends
are unemployed right now

while you're sh**ting your own film.

They wish they were in your shoes.

-So…
-Yeah, I get that.

There's probably a lot of people
who'd love to be in my shoes with Victor.

Amazing guy. Sweet, handsome, sexy.
He treats me well.

He proposed to me. But honestly?

I don't even know if I'm capable
of being happy in a marriage.

Are you happy in yours?

She's incredible.

That wasn't the question.

[both laughs]

Oh, you mean, like, really happy,
like that?

I only felt that with you.

-I mean it… [chuckles] …really.
-[scoffs, laughs]

-Come on now.
-Dead serious.

She really helped me
after things ended with you.

She helped me put myself back together.

She's been a big part
of this new phase of my life…

My, like, whole personal transformation.

And you and Victor, it'll work out.
He loves you.

He'll understand that you need
to chase your dreams,

that you need to be
out there making your film.

And when you do, please hire me, okay?
Hire me as your cinematographer.

It'd be a dream to sh**t something
for you. Really, I mean it.

I think we'd work well together, Bia.

Because there's something special
between us.

[Bia] f*ck me. I'm such a terrible person.

What am I even doing here?

Why am I doing this to Victor?

I make him miserable

and then I'm out with the guy
he hates more than anything.

The one he's most jealous of.

[♪ "Apenas Mais Uma De Amor" playing]

benefits with friends

episode 4
Nothingness

-Thanks so much!
-What a marvelous house.

-Victor, where are you?
-I loved the party!

-Come, give me a kiss.
-Thanks again, Silvia.

[Bia] Alone, at last.

This is the first time
I'm alone with Victor

and I don't feel comfortable.

I'm anxious.

-I'm worried.
-[Silvia] Bye bye.

[Bia] I feel exactly like I did as a kid
after doing something wrong.

See you guys, bye.

Like I'm about to get scolded
by my mom.

God, it sucks.

[sighs]

[grunts]

Hey…

Look, I got your back.

I'm rooting for you.
And I'm happy for you.

I think that
if the, uh, proposal hadn't happened…

then I wouldn't have gone
and gotten all my expectations so high.

And I wouldn't feel so upset right now.

That's on me.

I'm sorry.

[Bia] He's just saying that to be polite.

He's lying. He despises me.

He's going to break up with me.

[stammers]

It's not your fault at all.

No need to apologize to me.

And there's no need to worry.

We'll just have to postpone our plans
for a little bit

and I think that's fine.

[Victor] I want to cry so badly.
I'm losing her.

Maybe I should've been more understanding.

Maybe there's a limit to how many times
I swallow my pride and feelings

and accept Bia's decisions just
to make things work.

I'm always erasing myself.

[Bia] It's not easy for me either.

Thinking about traveling,
focusing on work, it scares me.

Last time I focused on work, he lost it.

[Victor] Last time everything fell apart,
she cheated on me.

I'm only human.

I have feelings just like she does.

I get sad. I get hurt.

[both] I can't let these thoughts ruin
what we have.

[Bia exhales]

What about kids?

Do you still think about that?

Do you want a family with me?

[stammers] I'm… I'm not sure.

Please just tell me the truth.

[sighs]

I can't imagine myself as a mom.

[stammers]

That doesn't mean I've decided yet.

That's, um, the most I can promise you
as of now, unfortunately.

[♪ gentle music playing]

I feel like things between us are starting
to look a lot like what Luiza and I had.

Two souls joined in misery together.

At the end of the day,
we have nothing good left to…

to say to one another.

All we do is just gripe
and vent about bullshit.

We just complain together because…

because complaining's the only…
the only thing we have anymore.

So, instead of unloading your sh*t on her,
you'd rather unload your sh*t here,

I was hoping you'd have some wisdom
to give me.

So the minute your d*ck stops working
for chrissake,

you blame the modern world?

Wait, my d*ck is functioning
just fine, okay? Thank you very much.

Kiddo, that incredible woman you got?
She's gold.

Yeah. She's kind of a perfect woman.

No, no, she is really screwed up
in the head.

-Crazy town!
-But what you two have? That's gold.

Buried treasure!

Your common history together's
the most valuable thing you got, you know?

If you two break up,
you'll meet plenty of other nice girls,

but you won't share any past with them,
which makes things a lot lighter.

If it gets boring,
moving on is a lot easier.

Neither of you are losing that much

because you never really had
anything together.

However, if you walk away from
the only really meaningful relationship

you've had, you're gonna wake up one day

and suddenly realize
those other relationships,

well, they feel like plastic
in comparison.

Don't forget, the strongest thing

that life has given you is
the bond with Bia.

-Amen.
-And I'll tell you without hesitation

that the strongest bond
that I have in my life

-is the one I have with Clotilde.
-[gasps]

-That's so touching.
-[laughs]

Now of course, ideally,

would I have preferred a bond
with a rich widow

to take me on vacations, expenses paid,
or to Miami at least once a year?

I'm gonna be honest here,

I would, sure as hell.

But we don't choose the relationships
life throws at us.

We just recognize what it is, embrace it,
and accept the love it gives us.

What's that for?

For giving advice out of the kindness
of your heart.

Kindness of my heart what?

He brings us burgers every day, honey.
Get serious.

And tomorrow I want a milkshake.

With whiskey.

[Victor] This is me now.

Go after me. I'll cover you.

[gamer] I'm going to destroy
this son of a b*tch.

[Victor] While Bia's out there…

"ONE MONTH LATER"

…chasing her dreams, I'm here.

Looking for any connection
that might replace what I had with her.

AUGUST

I'd trade all the restaurant's success
just to have her beside me.

To start a family.

Ah! [laughs]

Yeah, we're the best duo ever, dude.

Once again, it was a real pleasure
murdering with you today.

[gamer] Yeah,
we are the best assassins ever!

And where are you?

-[gamer] Rio. Why?
-Me too. No way!

Why don't we get together
some time in town?

Let's grab some drinks or something!

[gamer] Uh… I can try asking my mom.

Why?

Wait. How old are you?

[gamer] Twelve.

[breathes heavily]

SEPTEMBER

[Bia] This is me coming back
from the first round

of meetings for the film.

Why is it that being away
for a while didn't change anything

about how I'm feeling?

[kisses]

God, that woman is exhausting.

She says she loves the script,

but she keeps throwing
in a million terrible ideas.

-Yeah.
-Why doesn't she just trust me?

-[sighs]
-Here. Lie down with me.

OCTOBER

[Bia] This is me coming back
from the second trip.

[exhales]

Still carrying a weight inside me
that I can never get rid of.

[Victor] Hmm.

Oh, I'm tired.

I've rewritten it so many times
to try to please her,

but the queen of cattle keeps
suggesting stupid ideas to ruin the story.

She won't produce it
unless it's exactly what she wants.

Man.

[breathes deeply]

DECEMBER

[Bia] This is me coming back
from my last trip.

[exhales]

I can't take it anymore.

[sighs]

Why does everything have to be so hard?

This was supposed to be a mature drama
and it's turning into a soap opera.

That's assuming it even gets made

because I don't think
this b*tch will ever be satisfied at all.

Then we won't see a penny for production.

[clicks tongue]

[both sigh]

Would you mind if I cried next to you

while you play video games
with a teenager?

Not at all. However, you know…

Gaming's also for adults.

Yesterday for example,

I made friends
with a 50-year-old Japanese dude.

[Bia groans]

[♪ gentle music plays]

[Bia] As the months passed,
I watched my career

as a director slowly being torn apart.

At the same time,

our relationship was also growing
colder and colder.

When I said I couldn't imagine
myself having a family,

it created this void between us
that never really went away.

Each of us ended up trapped
in our own pain.

I don't know, Bia, the scene is good,
but I'm not sure she would react like that

as a strong woman.

[sighs]

The current menu is pretty weak.
What could we serve at The Burger Joint

for those who don't like burgers?

[exhales]

[phone ringing, buzzing]

JANUARY

What does that woman need fixed now?

I'm getting divorced, Bia.

Lucas, sorry. What happened?

How are you doing?

[Lucas] We had too many differences.

And they were too great to overcome.

And she caught me cheating on her
in our bed.

-God, Lucas.
-[Lucas] Oh, you're judging me?

Remember you're talking
to Gabriel's agent. I know you.

[sighs]

Um…

What about our film, is it dead or…

[Lucas] I still have a few cards
up my sleeve. Some other contacts.

Honestly, I still think
your original script,

written without my ex,
would still make a great movie.

It's just become a little harder now,
but I'm not giving up.

[Bia] The film was obviously dead
in the water.

Why does every project of mine
end up dying?

What did I do to deserve this?
Come on, universe.

How do I deal with the guilt
of not only insisting on believing

in the same stupid dream again,

but also dragging Fausto and Silvio
down with me?

MARCH

[Bia] I watched a relationship that was
once the most magical thing in my life

turn into nothing.

MAY

The most beautiful declarations
of love in the world

replaced with trivial conversations.

Wanna do take out again?

-[sighs] Pass the salt.
-What time's your mother getting here?

Is it really cold outside?

Not another spreadsheet. I just won't!

I wanna sell my part of the restaurant.

Every week, the menu changes up.
Why am I still part of this?

[Bia] Which were later replaced
by complaints.

It should have worked out.

Did a modeling job. There was this creep
who was hitting on me.

I told him to get off…

You know when a couple turns into just
two people who complain about everything?

[Victor snoring]

Who just keep dumping their problems
on each other?

Fausto, you're snoring!

Turn over, I need to sleep too!

-[snoring continues]
-[Bia] And all that weight

eventually becomes too much.

Both of us are always exhausted.

Mmm. I'm wiped out.

Can we do it tomorrow?

-No mood for sex.
-Of course.

[Bia] No desire to interact.

[exhales]

This is me, alone, bored,

uninterested…

ugly, dull.

No reason to get out of bed.

Needing to numb myself

just to silence my thoughts.

I feel like, I don't want
to exist right now.

[footsteps approaching]

Can I turn the light on?

Whatever.

I brought us some cream puffs.

[sighs] I'm good, thanks. Not hungry.

Let's go to the movies.

We haven't been to a movie in forever.

I just don't want to.

I only wish I had your magical smile
to make you feel better somehow.

[exhales]

It's been a long time
since I tried my smile with you,

and it used to work all the time.
It just doesn't work anymore, I guess.

[sighs] Just go and leave me alone.

It breaks my heart you feel so sad
and I'm unable to help.

[Bia groans] I don't even…

I don't think I'm just sad.

I'm bitter.

And resentful.

And I feel so much regret.

[inhales]

[exhales] Ah, regret

for choosing this path.

Just so, so, so, so, so, so much regret

for hoping I could do something good
with my life.

Believing it could all work out
like in a fairy tale. [groans]

I'm so stupid.

[sobbing] I'm so stupid, so stupid,
stupid, stupid.

I'm such a f*cking idiot!
I'm so, so angry. [sniffles]

So much rage toward myself…

[groans] …and life, and toward everything,
and everyone.

I… It's just… I feel like…

I'm going to just m*rder someone

or k*ll myself!

[sobbing, grunting]

What can I do for you?

I want a time machine.

[sniffles]

I want…

I want to go back and visit little Bia
and tell her to stop watching movies.

[sniffles] And do literally anything else
with her life.

[crying, panting]

And then, after that,
I want a teleportation machine.

So, I can visit every single kid

who dreams of being an actress, an actor,

an artist, or whatever,

to look them in the eyes
and just say to them…

"Don't even try.

Do not try. It's no longer worth it
to try to create your art.

It's all just garbage.

It's so vile. It won't make you fulfilled.

It won't make you-you rich or-or famous.

Nothing!
You'll feel like sh*t and fall apart.

You'll feel like dying.
You'll wish it would just all end.

You'll meet the worst people
in the world imaginable,

and they will just suck you dry…

[sniffles]

…until there's nothing left."

[crying]

-[groans]
-Look…

I know that things are a total mess,

but at least we're together.

I've made this post for you.

You wanna read the caption?

I'm no writer, but I did my best.

-Here.
-[sniffles]

Victor, what the hell?
Why would you ever post

-that shitty picture of me?
-What? You look adorable.

Are you kidding me?
Adorable? What the hell?

You know I'm trying
to get modeling work again.

And I need to take extra care of my image.
God help me,

and you tag me in a picture
that makes me look like trash.

Okay, I deleted it.

It's gone. Calm down.

-[video game beeps on]
-Hey, f*ck you, seriously.

[sighs heavily]

Are you really sighing at me, Victor?

No, I was just breathing.

Go ahead, complain,
blow your lid, whatever.

I will not take the bait.

I'm actually glad
that I can just be in your orbit

so you have someone
you can unload your anger onto.

Yeah, because you know what?

Because it's healthier
than distracting yourself

playing all these silly video games
with teenagers.

You know who didn't have video games
as a teen?

Me.

I dreamed of having a PlayStation.

My parents could never afford one.

Even as an adult,
I always had to go to work,

I was always afraid of bankruptcy
and I couldn't afford it.

So, I wouldn't spend money
on these things.

But now I can.

I finally have money
to buy my own PlayStation.

And I'm going to play it
as much as I want,

-because I know what it means to me.
-Okay.

-I don't need to prove anything to you!
-Fine, Victor. I got it!

And thanks a lot for making me feel

even shittier
than I was already feeling.

[sobbing]

[♪ melancholy music plays]

[sobbing]

Man!

f*ck.

-What about the wedding?
-[Bia sighs]

What do you think?
Let's talk about the wedding.

Get back on track.
Maybe it would cheer us both up.

f*ck me, it's unbelievable how you always

bring up getting married at
the worst possible time.

-I'm fighting for us, Bia.
-[groaning, crying]

I think it could be good for us
to see our friends again, our families.

-To remember our story. And celebrate it.
-[whimpers]

Just imagine how beautiful you'll look
in a wedding dress.

I'm not okay!

Victor, I'm not!

I don't want to see myself at all,
much less in a dress,

when I'm in this living hell with you.

[whimpers]

[Victor] Let's travel, then.
Pick anywhere and I'll buy the tickets.

All the money I'm making
has to be good for something…

I told you I don't want to travel anywhere
with your money!

Bia,

I'm trying…

-[Bia] This is me now.
-I'm trying as hard as I can…

[Bia] I do think I'm a good actress.

I write well.

I'm kind of funny.

I'm pretty. I'm smart.

I can sing if I need to.

I can dance.

But my real specialty,

the thing I do better than anyone else,

the thing that
I'd win every major award for…

my true talent is self-sabotage.

I don't want to fight.
I don't want to break up. I love you.

Who said we're breaking up?

No one.
I said I don't want us to break up, Bia.

But that's the word that you went for.

You only use that word
if you on some level actually want it.

Come on.

So, your girlfriend gets depressed

and your first instinct
is to give up on her? [sobs]

[sighs]

Bia, it's already a good sign
you're admitting that you're depressed.

[Bia grunting, whimpering]

Have you thought about therapy?

It might help you quite a bit.

What do you think?

-I can help you find a therapist.
-Ugh, I don't want therapy.

I want space.

All right. So that's it? You need space?

You're tired of me? I'll give you space.

I'll spend some time in São Paulo.

[Bia scoffs] Don't turn this
into something about you,

because it isn't.

Of course it's about me!

It's about both of us.

It's about us! We're a couple,
whether we like it or not.

If you need comfort, I will be there.

If you want me to stay away,
I'll do that too.

I just can't stand seeing you like this.

I don't know what to do.
I'm trying to be the best I can for you,

but I don't know what you need right now.

There's no manual.

I want space.

Okay, Bia.

[front door opens]

[crying softly]

[front door closes]

[inhales sharply, whimpering]

[♪ melancholy music continues]

[Bia] Above all else,

I need you to know
that my head was a mess.

Worse than ever.

Victor was in São Paulo, not answering me.

My mind going crazy,
picturing him with Paula

or someone else.

Celo
give me some news, I'm worried about you

Bia
I need a friend

I swear
I wasn't going to do anything wrong.

Not all the way, anyway.

I'm not the same person anymore.

You must know that.

I swear I'm not. Really.

[laughs]

[laughs]

-[buzzing, ringing]
-Gonna get that?

No.

He wouldn't understand anything.
[inhales deeply]

He still doesn't deal
that well with our friendship.

You know, Bia,
Victor isn't totally wrong about therapy.

-Mmm.
-If you want,

I could recommend someone good.
My therapist in Lisbon is amazing.

He helped a lot when you left me.

[both chuckle]

He referred me to a colleague
of his in Rio, and said she's fantastic.

I haven't had time to see her myself yet,

but she's someone you can trust, I'm sure.

[chuckling]

Really, really, you can. I swear.

-[Victor] You've gotta be kidding me.
-What are you doing here?

In my house, you mean?

I texted you. Did you never receive
any of my messages or…

I was flying back to Rio on a plane.

-Hey, Victor, chill. We were just talking.
-[Bia] Uh…

She was venting. But nothing happened.

-We're just friends.
-Shut up and get out. Just go away.

-f*ck me.
-What the hell did you say?

-I'm not afraid of you.
-[Victor grunts]

-Marcelo, please. Leave.
-What's up, man?

-Look, I'm not scared of you, little sh*t.
-Just go. Please. Leave.

-Just leave, please.
-Get out!

Leave.

[Victor sighs]

You did this on purpose.

So that I'd break up with you.

-So I would feel what you did with Luiza.
-No, no, I'd never.

Damn it, I love you, Victor!

-You don't anymore, Bia.
-No, it's you who stopped loving me.

We complicated things.

We never should've messed with anything.

Our friendship was perfect as it was,
and look what a mess we've created.

"What a mess we've created"?

The night of that show. The reunion.
I was a total wreck. Remember that night?

I was the one who was a mess.

Then you came knocking.

If it wasn't for you…

we'd never have this mess.

You should've never started this
if you wanted to leave.

You're forcing me to bail.

[sighs]

And congratulations, it's working.

I still love you, Bia.

I'll always love you. But…

I need to love you from a distance.

Loving you close hurts too much.

You never think about
how your actions affect others.

You only think about…

about your own self.

[door slams]

Well, since you're no longer with Bia,

I actually do have somebody
I could introduce you to.

My great-niece is newly single.
She's bad news,

but she's got an amazing body, oh.

Trust me, and she just got lipo. [laughs]

Absolutely not.
You've got to date my daughter-in-law.

Oh, my son doesn't appreciate her.

Also, he's not very into sex.

He's not exactly a stud bull.

She's a wonderful girl.

And I only want her
to find a wonderful boyfriend.

A nice guy. You know what I mean?

There are plenty
of great women out there, truly.

So, stop giving me that sad puppy look.
The sooner you get over it, the better.

-Enough with that long face.
-Enough!

-Enough already!
-Drop it now.

-Drop it, right now.
-All righty then.

Come on, you're a young man.
Here, want some whiskey?

[Victor snoring softly]

JUNE

[Bia] This is the first time
we tried getting back together.

I'm being extra careful
not to start another fight

by waking him up
just because he's snoring.

I'm so tired of ruining everything.

I keep trying to find him in other people.

I imagine he's probably doing the same.

But even when we try again,
now for the fifth time,

I can't seem to find
the old Victor anymore.

Or the old Bia.

Fausto and Silvio feel like they're gone.

Just… gone. Vanished into thin air.

The people here now aren't them.

They're just reflections
of who they used to be.

Fragments.

Leftovers.

Mmm. No.

I try to meet new people,

but that also sucks.

Where is it?
You showed me one earlier that was cuter.

What do we do
when we have no good options?

-What about this one?
-[Bia] Staying is bad,

but leaving is worse.

I think it's this one, but he looks weird.

Here, girl. What about this one?

[Bia] Hmm…

You know what? Instead,
Show me your ex boyfriends.

-That way I can understand your tastes.
-[Bia chuckles]

Hold on.

Here's… a picture.

[laughs]

-You're kidding?
-No, why?

There's no way she spent that long
with this guy.

[laughs]

-[friend] Mm-hmm.
-Oh, come on stop it. It's just that

he comes across much better in person.

[laughs] If you say so. Okay.
And this one right here?

Ugh, no. He looks too dirty.

[grunts] Come on, girl…

You know what guys?

Tonight I would love to have
a d*ck appointment.

However, unfortunately, that d*ck comes
in a package with a human being.

And I really can't stand dealing
with a human

and all their issues right now.

I'd happily just have the d*ck.

-A loose d*ck.
-[laughs]

-No human packaging.
-Okay. Hey, guys, selfie time!

-[chuckles]
-[shutter clicks]

[all laugh]

I…

I think tonight might not be good.

Hey, I wrote you a letter.

Can I read it?

Sure.

[Bia grunts]

"Hi, Bia,

How are you?

It's Victor, your…

well, I don't even know
what I am to you anymore.

I just know that somehow, I'm still yours.

And honestly, that's pretty much
the only thing I have left of who I am.

Which is kind of depressing.

[inhales deeply]
I'm the quiet type usually. I'm reserved.

But also, kind of all over the place.

I liked pagode,
Transformers, chandeliers, hamburgers.

Not the most adventurous personality
in the world,

but it was my identity at least.

Lately, I feel like I've become someone
whose only purpose in life is loving you

and trying to understand you.

And I do love loving you.
I love trying to understand you.

You're so complex that it's always
so fascinating but also endless.

And now… [sniffles]

…it feels like I'm someone
who's gotten used

to living next to a volcano
that's about to erupt.

It's scorching and uncomfortable.

And sometimes it sets everything on fire.

[whimpers]

And still, I can't move on, because…

somehow that volcano is still my place.

If I leave, where do I go?

Who cares about living by the ocean?

I love my little volcano.

[sniffles]

But I need to find my way back
to who I am.

And our relationship needs to become
something more than what it turned into.

[sniffles]

It started out as the most magical thing
I've ever experienced

then became a partnership.

Until we began
to really hurt each other… [sniffles]

…then beg for forgiveness and try again,

then we would just
ask boring questions about our day

or complain to each other.

And now,
the only question is, 'Wanna have sex?'

That's all we have left.

Our story deserves more than that.

So, I'd rather call it quits… [sniffles]

…before we destroy
what was once so beautiful about us.

I don't know
how to take care of you anymore

in a way that actually helps you.

But I do know
I need to take care of myself for a while.

And maybe if I'm okay, someday
I'll be able to support you better.

I know you'll hate me for this.

But respecting our past
also means being honest about our future.

Every great love story
has smiles and tears.

It's a roller coaster.

But then when I look back at us someday…

I want to remember all of the smiles.

Right now, all I ever see is tears."

That's it.

[sniffles]

Okay.

All right.

[grunts]

[sniffling] Let's go back inside.

[keys jingle]

You've made your point.
We'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?

If you go now, just don't come back here.

This will really be the end.

I know that.

[sighs] You know you can't live
without me.

I don't want to live without you.

I want to be your friend again.

Maybe we just insisted on investing
in the wrong kind of relationship.

Are you really throwing everything away?

You promised you wouldn't ever do that.

[sniffles]

Are you really closing the door on us?

Maybe you'll finally
be inspired to write a movie about me.

No.

I'll never write about you, Victor.

AUGUST

[Bia] This is Victor

packing up his things and leaving.

[cutlery clattering]

This is me waking up
to the sound of cutlery clinking

as he sorts out what's mine and what's his

from before we moved in together.

The movers carry out the last boxes.

And reality finally sinks in.

It's over.

This time…

there's no going back.

[Victor] I think that's the last suitcase.

You are forgetting
your little package. [sniffles]
