[lively pop music playing]
Pablo.
Pleasure.
Alice.
Hello.
[guests cheering]
Hold on. Please do me a favor
and tell my beautiful girlfriend
to come with me.
Come. Come here.
-I am not your girlfriend.
-What can I do to fix that?
[lively pop music continues]
-Will you marry me?
-[laughs]
[lively pop music continues]
Do you have to go?
-How bad could it be?
-[music stops]
[mysterious music playing]
-[Alejo] What's wrong, honey?
-No, nothing.
[Alejo sighs]
[exhales]
JUST ALICE
EPISODE 5
THE AFTER
[Alejo groans]
[grunts]
[Alice] Hey, Marcelo.
I'm gonna be here in Bogotá.
I'm really pleased that you decided
to fulfill all of your obligations
in Medellín.
You know we can't cancel this.
As you know,
I'm here if you need anything.
-Hey! What are you up to?
-Oh Jesus! No!
[sighs] I absolutely hate
when you startle me.
You haven't used this thing in years.
What are you doing?
I need to decompress.
What's wrong? Why are you so stressed out?
Just work.
Bunch of things, I guess. Too many.
-[Alejo] Everything okay?
-Mm.
Yeah.
-You?
-What? What…
You've been working so much.
You're so busy and…
What about your novel?
Do you know what it's about yet?
It's coming together, slowly.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
-I'm gonna shower.
-Okay.
[Alice exhales]
[Pablo] Ali, my love.
I'll see you at the airport.
Or nearby, maybe.
I'm really happy for us
to be in Cartagena together.
To simply relax with you,
totally unbothered.
Just call me when you can. Kisses. Bye.
What did she say?
I don't know. I just messaged her.
NEW VOICE MESSAGE
Here, baby.
[Alice] Mmm. Yummy.
Beltrán?
Yes.
Yes.
Fortunately, I managed to convince him
not to back out of any events last minute.
-That guy is cuckoo.
-[laughs]
Like, you can't even imagine. Seriously.
The thing is, we gotta travel again.
-What? Already?
-Mm.
Hon, you just got here,
didn't sleep at all,
you worked out,
and now you're leaving? Slow your roll.
That's what campaigns are like.
A lot of travel, not a lot of sleep, huh?
[intriguing music playing]
-[Alice] Hey, babe?
-Mm-hmm?
I'm sorry I missed
your book launch yesterday.
No. Don't worry about it, hon.
Well, I did tell Simón and… and María
to come over for dinner
to celebrate the launch, but…
We'll make plans. Hmm?
-Mm-hmm.
-[phone buzzes]
INCOMING CALL
[chuckles]
This reporter, she's a bit intense
and has been begging me
for an interview for a week now.
Okay.
My, things have changed, haven't they?
In the old days, you'd get married
and spend the night with the woman.
It's still the same, Pops,
but Alice had an emergency
and had to leave.
She's always got an emergency.
Forgive me for saying this, son,
but I… I just…
I don't really understand your decision
to completely abandon the priesthood
for a woman you just met,
after spending your whole life
as a man of God.
And I have to tell you this
because I don't wanna see you suffer.
I want to see you be happy.
Pops.
I am happy.
I have a bad feeling about this.
-Come on. Don't start.
-[doorbell rings]
I'm sorry. It's just…
[Pablo] I'm coming! Who is it?
[stuttering] We've got a problem.
[tense music playing]
Good morning, babe. I'm in Bogotá.
I'll be home in like an hour.
Love you.
[chuckles] Girl, I can't with you.
Seriously, not even a tremor in your voice
when you bullshit.
-Why don't you shut your mouth?
-You're lucky I'm here with ya.
Hey, no one asked you to come.
That so? [scoffs]
All right. Should've just handed Laura
my résumé directly.
But well… But well, what can we do?
All right, miss,
looks like you're all good to go.
-Ah, that's "Mrs." times two.
-Thanks.
So what now? What are you gonna do?
About what?
Well, with your life, I mean.
What are you gonna do?
You're almost out of lies.
I really don't know Pablo,
but I know Alejo is smart as f*ck, Ali.
Pablo's not stupid.
I know, but since he's a priest,
he's more experienced in forgiveness.
-Really, Su? Really?
-Okay, fine. He was a priest.
[phone ringing]
INCOMING VIDEO CALL
-It's Laura. Don't speak.
-No.
-Hey, Lau.
-[Laura] Ali!
Ali, oh my God.
I'm gonna be a mom!
-[tender music playing]
-Oh, I'm sorry, babe.
Oh, you're with Susi.
Hello, Susi.
Yeah. We're here at the… at the airport.
Uh, she dropped me off because I'm flying
to Medellín with Marcelo once again.
Well, I don't know if you heard me,
so I'm gonna repeat this more clearly.
I have… We have a fertilized embryo.
Start planning my baby shower.
Martín still doesn't know, but…
Ali, I did want you
to be the first to know
because you've been one of the few people
to support me through this, so…
Thank you.
Love you so much, Lau.
Congratulations. I'm so happy for you!
I'm not as happy as she is,
but if that's what you wanted,
then I'm also congratulating you.
Yeah. I'm very happy.
-[Susana] Are you at the hotel?
-Mm.
I'm heading there. Why?
Do you wanna meet me there, then?
I've got a proposal for you.
Susi, I'm not looking
for a babysitter yet.
Oh, honey, I'm not that delusional.
[laughs]
[Alejo] This kid keeps insisting
about the test.
-[Simón] Have you calmed down yet?
-Calmed down how?
What if what this boy is saying is true,
and it turns out I am his father?
That's one possibility, yeah.
Right. As long as it's not true,
we're good.
And how do we plan to clarify things?
Are you gonna wait for the answer
to come to you in a dream,
or are you taking a freaking DNA test?
I wasn't planning on it,
and I'm not prepared to be a father.
No one's ever prepared to be a father.
I mean, I'm not prepared
to be the father of a 21-year-old.
What do you do when you wanna be a dad?
You plan a pregnancy.
It takes nine months. The kid's born.
You bottle-feed it.
You read it a bedtime story.
What the hell do I do? Buy him a beer?
Give him an extra-large T-shirt, or what?
Alejo, if that boy
is really willing to stay in Bogotá
until you take the paternity test,
then, if you ask me,
that means he's convinced
that you are his dad.
[pensive music playing]
It's time to discuss this with Alice.
Of course. Tell me. What do I do?
What do I say? Hmm?
Deny everything
for the rest of your life. Easy.
What do you mean? The truth. Come on!
I tried. I did.
When I… when I found out, I tried.
I tried, and I failed.
And I feel
I've already lied to her so much.
How did you lie?
Remember when she wanted
to visit me in New York,
and I straight up lied to her face
so she wouldn't?
It's been ages. Ages!
Man, you had barely even begun
to date Alice.
Yeah. And specifically,
when we started dating,
we made one thing very clear.
There would be no secrets between us.
[music fades]
[door opens, closes]
[Alice] Finally.
Off we go on our honeymoon. Cartagena.
Where it all began, babe.
I can't believe we're finally married.
[both chuckle]
-All right, let's go. You ready?
-No, baby. Wait.
-We gotta delay the trip.
-What?
Yeah, there's some issues
with the neighbors.
You serious? What do you mean "issues"?
Do you need me to do something?
No. I'll take care of it.
Or maybe you can help
change the plane tickets?
It's not your airline,
but these things trip me up.
I will take care of anything you need.
I'll do anything you need.
-But is something wrong?
-No, baby. Thank you.
I love you.
-I love you.
-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
I know, but I can be a chef.
Well, maybe not a chef, but a sous-chef.
-Remember my amazing eggplant parmesan?
-[man] Uh, ma'am.
-Could you please sign this?
-Yes.
Or, for example,
what if I work at the c*ck bar?
-Yeah, c*ck.
-Let me know.
Because I took
a three-month course in mixology,
and my margaritas
are better than the hotel's.
Yeah, but--
Another thing I'd be good at is reception.
Because even though my Spanish is slow,
I just really, like, vibe with people,
you know?
-Don't know if… Wait. I'm not done.
-Yeah, Su. The thing is…
DJ. Come on. This place is dead, Lau.
Instead, it could be way cooler,
but… but I've written down
a whole plan. Look.
-Huh?
-Oh, Su. You got fired, didn't you?
Mm. No, I wouldn't really put it that way.
I'd say what I'm hoping for
is to step outside of my comfort zone.
You know, that's really my goal,
but it's all in there.
[woman panting]
-Just put me on a trial period.
-No.
-Pay me, and that's that.
-Sweetie, no. I'll let you know.
I swear I will,
but just let me speak to my husband.
-Please, because…
-Oh, come on.
[tense music playing]
[music intensifies]
[breathing heavily]
I'm sorry, honey.
-Let me explain.
-f*cking son of a b*tch!
Sweetheart.
No! Don't go anywhere near her!
No! Lau?
[panting]
Laura, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
Hey. No, give those to me. To me, okay?
[sobbing]
Get me out of here.
Come with me. I've got you.
[Pablo] Gotta go.
-What?
-Yup.
No. You're really leaving?
Trust me. I don't want to, but I have to.
You mad at me?
-Nah.
-Mm.
-No.
-Okay.
-No.
-No.
Wait, so tell me what everyone's
worked up about. What's happened?
They wanna build the metro
through the middle of the neighborhood,
tear down the church,
the park, everything.
What? But… but… why would they do that?
Politicians.
Politicians looking for profit.
You know how they are.
That's wrong. I wanna go with you.
-I'm coming.
-No. No, no, no, no. No.
No.
The neighbors are upset,
and I need to calm 'em down.
I'm proud of you, honey.
I'm proud of you.
Soon we'll have time
to just chill together.
No last-minute flights.
No problems in the neighborhood.
-Okay?
-Mm-hmm.
All right.
-Love you. Bye.
-Bye.
-Careful, okay?
-Yeah.
-I love you.
-Love you too.
[phone ringing]
INCOMING CALL
Ali?
-Don't go anywhere.
-Mm-mm.
-You're not going anywhere.
-No. [chuckles]
-No, ma'am.
-Okay.
Bye.
-Love you.
-Love you too.
[jaunty music playing]
INCOMING CALL
-Hello?
-Ali, you didn't leave, right?
I just saw that Marcelo
is doing an event in Bogotá.
BELTRÁN PRESIDENT
Hello?
Hello? Ali?
Hello? Alejo, can you hear me?
Hello?
You're cutting out.
Are you there?
I was saying that, um,
that Beltrán changed our plans again.
Can you believe it?
He's crazy. I can't even.
I didn't call earlier
because I've been tied up
with rescheduling everything.
Don't worry about it.
I'll head to the plaza and meet you there.
What? But… but why?
I need to talk to you.
About what?
Why don't we talk about it
in person, yeah?
No, no. Alejo! A…
[music fades]
[upbeat pop music playing]
[phone ringing]
Ah…
Su, I'll call you back.
-No, please don't hang up on me.
-Just tell me later.
Ali, wait.
It's urgent.
Marcelo canceled the trip to Medellín.
Now he's throwing an event here in Bogotá.
-So then what are you gonna do?
-[car horn honks]
Alejo called, saying he's coming over
because he wants to talk to me.
Do you know what'll happen
if he gets there first?
Oh, come on.
Su, I am so afraid.
Alejo's gonna find out.
We are here today at the event
for Marcelo Beltrán's
presidential campaign.
With some controversy surrounding…
All right. Ready when you are.
Marcelo, smile.
Bunch of unemployed characters, per "usu."
Yeah, yeah. Yep.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting]
Beltrán! Beltrán! Beltrán!
What's going on?
We agreed that you would go back
to Medellín
to finish the rest of
the original media schedule.
What happened?
Come on, guys. This is serious.
You had agreed to do that.
I always thought it'd be better here.
I won't cancel this. No f*cking way.
-Of course not.
-No one is canceling anything.
We're doing things the right way.
Marcelo, stick to your script, okay?
Read everything I wrote for you.
How long ago did you write this?
-Yeah. How long ago did you write it?
-Over a month ago.
Luis, we're running a whole campaign
for the presidency.
It's under control. Don't worry.
He'll learn that with more experience.
Jacket, quick. Come on.
No, wait, wait, wait a minute. Alice.
This is the Alice I love. I'm here for it.
Marcelo, to be honest,
I think you should improvise.
Your rhetoric is what got you this far.
-So just speak freely.
-No, no. Look at me.
You really wanna be president?
Well, that's why I hired you.
Okay, you're gonna do exactly as I say.
You got that?
Take off that watch.
These are folks who earn minimum wage.
They're here to support you.
Kindness and warmth.
Take off your jacket, use the video,
and wear your watch.
-Alice, my love.
-[Alice] Babe.
-There you are.
-They let you in?
-Just like that?
-Yeah.
Beltrán changed everything
last minute again.
-I told you he keeps doing…
-What's he gonna say if the plan was…
[crowd cheering]
[Alice] Who let him up there?
Who let him up there?
He shouldn't have gone up yet.
It brings me such joy
to see the Beltrán youth here.
The future of this country.
You know, I am one of you.
Someone who is tired
of unfulfilled promises.
[crowd chanting] No to eviction!
Aren't you tired of being used
and underestimated all the time, folks?
[crowd] Yes!
Friends, we came here
to protest peacefully.
I don't wanna see anybody fight.
We're claiming our rights
and defending our town.
Come on! Let's go! No to eviction!
[all] No to eviction!
An underground metro, elevated,
and these miscreants!
No more lies!
No to eviction! Careful, Dad.
I will put the metro
on 7th Street immediately.
-And we'll expropriate if we have to!
-No!
Marcelo, what are you doing?
What is this bullshit?
Look at the script, okay?
We must take back our beautiful country.
We must close our borders.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Coming through. Please, don't push.
[Marcelo] Are we letting this community
tell us how
we should raise our own children?
Excuse me, sir! I got something to say.
Hey, sir! We demand
you leave our neighborhood alone.
[crowd] No to eviction!
-Don't touch me. Don't touch me!
-[Luis] Marcelo, Marcelo, Marcelo.
You wanna talk?
Why don't you tell everyone
who your woke friends are
who paid you to wreck this peaceful event?
No, nobody paid me anything.
Who's this guy?
[Pablo] We want you to abandon
this ridiculous idea
of having the metro cut through
the middle of the neighborhood.
I've been shot! I've been shot!
-The hell are you doing?
-I didn't do anything!
[indistinct shouting]
No! No! They… they hit him!
[crowd clamoring]
[Alice] This is a disaster.
I have to leave with the team.
Please take him to his car.
He's my husband. I'll call you.
I'm gonna go fix this.
-[clamoring continues]
-[glass shatters]
[indistinct shouting]
Beltrán! Show your face! Show your face!
[guard] Let's go. Let's get out of here.
Let me through! Let me through! Beltrán!
-[indistinct shouting]
-[glass shattering]
Are you all right, Marcelo?
Of course I'm fine.
Please, sir, can we go now?
What, you want him to run people over?
I mean, if it's necessary.
They're messing up the car.
-[inaudible]
-[clamoring continues]
[man] Come on.
[Pablo] Watch out.
Stop! Stop!
Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!
-[man 2] Get out of here!
-Enough!
-[man 2] Get him out of here!
-Calm down! Calm down!
[Marcelo] What are we waiting for?
Let's go.
[Pablo] That's enough.
Stop, stop! Don't push me!
Calm down! Stop!
Oh yeah, that's real civil of you.
-[Pablo] I'm just trying to help. Please…
-You're going to jail.
[phone ringing]
-Hello?
-Hey. Are you okay, babe?
Hi, honey. Don't worry.
I'm in a car with Marcelo.
It's okay. It's okay. I'm fine.
[sobs] How can you be
such a piece of sh*t?
I don't know, babe.
[Carolina] Lau, I…
What?
[sighs] I feel bad.
[Susana] Seriously? Why do you always
have to be the protagonist?
Can't you see that your friend's
the one who's hurting?
Lau, so,
I knew. I knew.
You knew what?
I mean, we all knew your husband
was a moron, Laura.
I saw him with the DJ.
-Give me a f*cking break! Another one?
-Carolina!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[sobbing]
Why didn't you tell her?
Girl, because I… I wasn't sure
what I was seeing.
Because I didn't wanna hurt you.
Because I didn't know how to tell you.
How long have you known?
I found out a few months
before you began your treatment.
A few months? No!
[Laura sobs]
What are you, an idiot, Carolina?
-Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's an idiot.
-She didn't tell me.
-What is wrong with you?
-I thought I was helping.
-[knocking at door]
-Seriously? sh*t.
-What?
-Ma… Martín. Does he know I'm here?
No, he doesn't know. I'll get it.
[Susan exhales sharply]
Oh, how nice of you to show up.
-You wouldn't believe my day.
-No, darling.
Save your drama for another day
because, today, it's Laura's turn.
What are they doing here?
What if Pablo shows up?
Then we'll throw a f*cking party
because what are we supposed to do?
Why are they here? What happened?
Laura caught her husband
with his p*nis inside another girl.
-Laura?
-Yeah.
Careful. It's a sign, girl.
-[Laura] Shut up! Just shut up!
-Lau?
I don't wanna hear it.
-[Carolina] Ali.
-[Laura sobs] Oh, Ali!
[Susana whispers] Are you crazy?
I'm so sorry.
And Carolina knew.
I mean, not only was I betrayed
by my husband, but by my own friend.
I didn't betray you.
I just couldn't bring myself to tell you.
Please, Lau.
Lau, don't be like that.
I was so excited
because we were going to have a baby.
Well…
No, yeah, yeah, like, hypothetically, yes.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Right, okay.
Why don't we all just calm down?
Why don't we…
How would you feel, uh,
about giving Martín a chance
to tell his side, huh?
If I hear Martín's voice,
I will m*rder him.
I'll chop him up in pieces, take his junk,
put it in a f*cking blender, and…
I'll help you hide the body.
Enough, Susana! Let's be serious.
[Laura] I am being serious.
No. Enough, enough.
What matters is you calm down.
And once you're calm, you two speak.
-But I am calm!
-Okay? Let's do that.
[laughs]
Come on, Laura. Just stop drinking.
You'll end up feeling worse.
-Come on.
-[Alice] Yeah.
-Oh, Laura.
-[exhales]
All right. This isn't the way
to sort things out.
Now calm down and breathe.
-Wait.
-[Alice] What?
-Okay, okay, okay, okay.
-No, please. Not on my couch, Laura.
[Susana] Carolina,
take her to the restroom. Hurry.
No, no, no, no, no!
Poor Laura.
-Martín's a scumbag.
-Oh!
INCOMING CALL
The in-law.
I won't ask which
because one of them is dead already.
-Eliseo?
-Hi, Alice.
The police have detained Pablo.
-What?
-What happened?
Well, the thing is, we went to protest
against that candidate, Beltrán,
and they ended up handcuffing
some of the neighborhood boys and Pablo.
Wh… How come?
Why did the cops arrest them, Eliseo?
Hang on a minute.
-José! José! Help me! Quick!
-It's Alice. It's Alice. It's Alice.
-H… Hello.
-Eliseo?
[Ernesto] Th… They won't let us see Pablo.
We're at the… at the station
on Sixth street. Please come now.
-What's wrong?
-Beltrán ordered Pablo's arrest.
-I'm so confused.
-No.
No. I gotta go.
Take care of Laura.
Take care of you because your roosters
are in the same ring, honey.
[easy-listening bar music playing]
I need us to make progress on this matter.
-We can't get stuck.
-Marcelo, I'm so sorry.
May I steal you for one minute?
-No. You--
-Uh, it's important. Very.
I'm sorry. He'll be right back.
Please. I'm sorry.
It's a very important matter. Come on.
Uh, Marcelo, can you please explain
why you ordered an arrest
on Pablo Guevara?
-On who?
-Pablo Guevara.
The director
of the Santa Trinidad Foundation.
Oh, you mean that priest?
Well, how…
how do you know he was a priest?
Luis always does his homework
so we know who we're dealing with.
Okay, okay.
Well, just like you spoke to your contacts
at the police station
so they would arrest him,
speak to them again so they release him.
And why would I do that?
Because this is very inconvenient
for your image, Marcelo. It's bad.
He is held in very high regard,
both at the foundation
and in the neighborhood,
and his friends won't stand by quietly,
so, uh, please just help me do this.
Do you know him?
No. Of course not.
No, but seems like
I did my homework better than Luis.
[Marcelo] Hmm?
Look. He suspects
that under the whole plan
to build over Santa Trinidad,
there are agenda pushers,
and let me tell you,
I'm starting to believe that too.
Okay, listen. Don't trust everything
they tell you about that priest.
-He's not a priest.
-He was.
I know those guys.
That dude's probably married,
has children, or I bet he has a lover.
One of those bible women
who goes to mass from Sunday to Sunday,
but all she does is suck, suck, suck.
-No.
-May I go now? Thanks.
Think about your image.
My apologies. Right. Where were we?
This woman, Catalina,
is getting on my nerves.
I've been working on this for…
[Alice] Drink some water.
It'll help with the nerves.
-Come on. Please, Eliseo.
-No. I feel like I have a knot right here.
-Don't get upset, Eliseo.
-I don't want anything.
That's not gonna help you. Calm down.
How can I be calm?
I mean, if Samuel
gets arrested and released,
it's his problem 'cause he had it coming,
but Pablo is a saint.
Just relax. He'll be released.
He will get out.
This will all be resolved,
so stop worrying.
Resolved how? We… we've been here all day,
and the cops won't answer our questions.
They won't say anything.
By the way,
why weren't you with us
at the demonstration?
[inquisitive music playing]
What, even though you're married now,
you still disappear whenever you want?
[scoffs] I don't disappear. I have a job,
and I'm taking care of this immediately.
Um, Officer, tell your superior
we have waited patiently all afternoon,
and we demand someone give us an explana--
You can wait another week
for all I care. What's the problem?
Uh, I need to talk to you.
And I need to talk to the president.
But life is unfair, right?
He won't answer my calls.
Uh, no, no, no, I'm sorry.
We need you to provide us with an answer
to get this resolved.
-Oh, you need this resolved?
-Yes.
Why don't you start by getting rid of
all of those people causing a racket?
And this guy here, and, in fact,
I want everybody out of here.
Then we can talk about
how to resolve this.
-Are you kidding?
-You see?
Look, Eliseo, I think he's right.
It'd be best if you try and convince
all the neighbors to go home.
I will not leave this place
until Pablo walks out of that door.
But they listen to you, Eliseo,
and nobody else.
-They'll follow your lead. Please help us.
-No. No. No. No. No!
-Get everyone out of here.
-Don't be difficult. Please.
If… if we leave, then for sure
Alice will… will work it out.
I promise you. I will get Pablo out.
I swear.
Trust me.
-Please, keep us posted.
-Mm-hmm.
Two minutes, tops.
[Alice sighs]
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
-It was nothing. It was nothing.
-No.
I'm just bummed out.
I'm so sorry, my love.
This whole thing is so unfair.
I know.
Sweetie, how's my dad?
He's fine. Don't worry about him.
I finally convinced Ernesto to take him
and all of the other neighbors
out of here and back home.
-Okay.
-That's why they let me in to see you.
-Well, it's best if you leave. Please.
-No, I don't…
-I'm not going anywhere, babe.
-Babe. Ali.
-Why in the world would I leave you here?
-I'm fine.
-No. No!
-Relax.
I'm not going anywhere
until they release you.
I ruined our honeymoon.
That's the least of our worries.
All that matters is we get you
out of here. Nothing else matters.
You understand? Nothing, my love.
[pop music playing]
-I love you.
-I love you.
[guard] Time's up.
Forgive me. Forgive me.
I love you.
Love you so much.
Everything's gonna be fine. Okay?
You're getting out of here.
Thanks.
Hey, Officer, thanks.
God bless you. Thanks.
You cannot keep him detained
if he didn't do anything. That's ill*gal.
You don't say. Are you a lawyer?
-No.
-I can tell.
Okay, well,
you have no charges against him.
What you are doing is…
You know what? I'll report you.
[scoffs] Me?
Mm.
For unlawful… confinement.
Yeah.
Of freedom.
[chuckles]
Ma'am,
if you keep talking,
I will be the one reporting you.
For resisting authority.
So why don't you
do me a favor and get lost.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Marcelo] You're right
about what you said.
Having that ex-priest locked up
is the worst thing that could happen
to my campaign right now.
Because there's nothing worse
than poor people nagging.
They're already calling the news.
So don't worry.
I'm gonna speak to some friends at
the police department to get him released.
[joyful music playing]
Are you a captain?
No.
I can tell.
Eliseo, I have good news.
-[Eliseo] Tell me he was released.
-Yes.
They will release Pablo,
but they're keeping him overnight
for paperwork.
Is he gonna be okay?
Yeah. Now we can all relax.
I told you everything
was gonna be all right. It's fixed.
So, uh, Eliseo, just so you know,
I'm gonna stay at Susana's tonight.
All right?
Because she hasn't been feeling great,
and since Pablo's not here,
I wanna keep her company.
-Okay, kid. Be careful, yeah?
-Yes, sir.
And do me a favor, get some rest.
Because everything's okay,
and your son will return home soon.
-Thank you, Alice.
-You got it, Eliseo.
Good night.
[exhales sharply]
[Alejo] No.
I still haven't said anything to her.
I don't wanna get myself
into a big mess either.
What if it's all in his imagination?
The boy's, I mean.
No, I haven't started.
I haven't started writing yet.
But I'm sure I'll think of something soon.
I'll talk to you later.
-Hi, baby.
-Hi.
Hi.
My phone died.
That's why I didn't call you back.
Mm.
[exhales]
I'm so exhausted.
I just finished working out
this whole Marcelo chaos.
Oh, I can imagine. Are you all right?
Yeah, yeah. Just tired. Just tired.
Hey, what was that really urgent thing
you wanted to share?
Oh, no, it was some issue
with the editorial house,
but it's… it's all sorted now.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah, yeah. I'm sure.
Well, I think you've had a long day,
and I believe
you deserve a good night's rest,
so I prepared a little surprise for you.
Wanna go upstairs?
[romantic pop music playing]
[romantic pop music continues]
That was exactly what I needed.
-Thank you for that nice surprise, honey.
-It was nothing, my love.
[music fades]
-Shall we toast?
-Wait, look at this. Look, look.
Attention, we have breaking news
coming in just now.
Pablo Guevara, the social leader
who was placed under arrest,
was just granted freedom at the demand
of the presidential candidate,
Marcelo Beltrán.
He's here with us
for an exclusive interview.
What are your thoughts
on the construction of the metro?
What'll happen to the foundation?
Well, I believe
that the plan can't be ex*cuted.
I understand that modifications
for this metro would cost billions.
But no one has
our people's best interests in mind.
They should be thinking of us,
our neighbors.
I am a man of faith.
I have faith in this neighborhood,
which is why I'm facing this head-on.
Candidate Beltrán,
we will not permit this.
And I repeat,
no metro will run through our home.
Thank you.
[exhales] Wow, priest is no fool, huh?
What an amazing story.
A priest who renounces the church
to become a revolutionary.
This is what I should write
my next novel about.
[tense music playing]
Pablo Guevara.
I should get him for an interview.
[music fades]
[smooth pop music playing]
[music fades]
