01x07 - It's Not You, It's Me

[bunniefuu]

[lively jazz music playing]

[Alice] This is what I found.

[Marcelo chuckles] Nothing.

You found nothing.

Nothing.

I wanted to screw this priest,
so I asked you for dirt,

and you've got nothing?

Nothing.
I would've already found something.

For sure.

Marcelo, please.
Seriously. Enough with this.

Why don't we focus on how important
this campaign is?

We're not gonna find absolutely anything
to use against this Pablo Guevara

because nothing exists.

Everyone's got something to hide, Alice.

[intriguing music playing]

And if you didn't find anything,
it's because you haven't looked properly.

You have to learn to dig.

How about I dig into the foundation?

[Alice] No!

I… I think that… that I…

No, no, no. Maybe I could find something
in the accounts.

There might be something there.

It's a difficult task

because Guevara is very reserved,
very meticulous.

So what are we supposed to do?

I think I'm on the verge
of earning his trust.

Can you give me a few more days?

Sure.

I'll give you a week.

One week, while we get back
from touring the coast.

Can't believe we have to go back there.
Makes me gag. Ugh.

If you don't find something
we can use by the end of the week,

Luis will infiltrate the foundation.

[Luis chuckles]

[Luis sighs] One week.

Thanks, Alice.

Have a beautiful day.

You know that I would never question
any of your decisions, Marcelo,

but I feel like you're wrong about Alice.

How so?

Because she's not gonna do anything
against that idiot, Guevara.

-Hmm.
-Not in a week or even a month.

You and I both know
that she doesn't have the talent

for that type of work.

You're right. We both know that.

So while she's looking for proof,
you and I have to come up with something

to screw Guevara over.

-Right.
-Was I not clear?

No, that was all. Yup. Uh…

The light. Photo?

-Photo.
-[woman] Wait.

-[chuckles] Beautiful.
-You're beautiful.

-The photo?
-[clears throat]

[Luis] That's it. Got it. Thanks.

Hashtag my country first.

Hashtag my country first.

[Alejo] Here, babe.

Thank you, babe.

I was thirsty.

[Alejo] Weren't you going to the coast?

[pensive music playing]

Mm… Mm.

You know the air conditioning affects me.

I've gotta take a coat.

Right. I'd give you a ride to the airport,
but I have a meeting to get to.

Oh!

[music fades]

That's great.
Do you know what you're gonna write about?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna write about Pablo Guevara.

Okay, we had spoken about it and said
that wasn't gonna happen, that you--

Yeah, I know, I know. Just let me explain.
I spoke to Simón, told him the story.

He mentioned it in a meeting with
the publishers, and they loved the idea--

-Simón spoke about it already?
-Yes.

And when were you gonna tell me?

What are you gonna do? Infiltrate the
neighborhood to investigate that man?

You're gonna get me in trouble
with Beltrán.

You're messing with my job, Alejo.

Fine, then. Relax.

Fine, I won't write the biography.
I won't write about absolutely anything.

Okay? Don't worry 'cause either way,

I'm used to not doing things
because of you.

-What haven't you done because of me?
-It's fine.

No, it's obviously not fine.
I'd love to know.

Okay, so you'd love to know.

-Should I tell you?
-Please.

I wasn't gonna mention it,

but the US Embassy offered me
a cultural attaché role in New York.

When?

No, don't worry about it.
I turned it down.

No. But why?

Why? Because of you.

Because you're working
on Beltrán's campaign,

and no one knows better than I do
the time and energy you've invested.

What should I have said? "Come with me?"

And to be honest, I would have loved that.
All I want is for us to be together.

That's all.

[lively acoustic guitar music playing]

JUST ALICE

EPISODE 7
IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME

Do you know how I told you
Alejo wanted to work at an embassy?

Yeah, I remember.

-He got the job.
-Wow, that's awesome!

He turned it down because of me.

Oh, that's bad.

He didn't want to go to the US without me.

He also didn't wanna make me choose
between him and work.

Su, now I really do feel terrible.

I feel horrible. I'm a garbage person.

I'm a sack of sh*t.

Oh, Alice, you know
that I'm always the first person

to tell you when you f*ck up, girl.

But in this case, well,
I believe that he made his own decision.

He's a grown man.

Oh, Su,
you really don't understand anything.

What part of me defending you
do you not understand?

You don't understand. He gave up
on his biggest dream because of me.

And to make things worse,
he says he won't write his book

about Pablo's life anymore
because I asked him not to.

I don't want him sacrificing things
because of me.

I don't want that. I don't deserve him.
I feel so bad. I feel horrible.

Look, I really think
you're being too hard on yourself.

Hey, you know what?
I'll come find you when I leave work

'cause my new boss is walking over.

Oh, you start your new job today?
Honey, I'm sorry.

How are you feeling? How are you?
Are you prepared? You ready?

Tell me later
because I'm running… I'm running late.

Love you. Love you. Love you.
Uh, I wish you the best. Later.

Later.

Su, my darling, this is amazing,
but could we turn the music down a little?

Oh, Lau, trust me.

I do trust you.
Why do you think I gave you this job?

Oh, Su. Don't make things difficult
for me on your first day. Please don't.

No, I won't make things difficult,

but I also wanna remind you that I'm here
because you lost your DJ,

and because you spent two whole days
crying and sniffling at my house.

-I can't believe you're weaponizing that.
-Who, me? I would never do such a thing.

No, but look,
I really am grateful for you.

-Okay.
-Honestly.

-I really appreciate your concern for me.
-Are you sure?

It's been rough,
but I feel relieved and at ease.

-No more tears.
-That part of the grieving, check?

-Double-checked.
-Yeah?

Well, then, if that's the case,
I'm gonna play you a ballad, okay?

-You're the best.
-Sure. No problem.

-[music stops]
-All right. Let's see. Let's play this.

[ballad playing]

No. Martín, please go.
Please go away. Please.

-[Martín] Don't worry. It's fine.
-Don't cause a scene. It's my first day.

-Babe. [chuckles]
-[Laura] My love. You came.

[Martín] Hey, we need to check
the events calendar for this month.

-Yes.
-Hmm?

-Why don't we go to your office? Yeah.
-Okay.

[Laura chuckles]

Hey, what the hell, Lau?

Aw, things are perfect now. Can't you see?

You're both perfectly crazy.
What happened?

Well, I happened to take Alice's advice.

I was open enough to listen
and took the time to understand and…

Understand what?

That he f*cked one of your employees?
Did you not understand that?

Oh, Susi, I wish relationships
were as simple as you think.

People make mistakes. This was a slipup.

You don't even know what men are like.
Why bother explaining?

They're misogynists, just like many women.

Okay, let's make one thing very clear.

Martín has no question in his mind
that that woman means nothing to him.

Mm.

That I'm his family,
the center of his world,

and he wants to be with me,

and he'll do everything in his power
not to lose me.

Oh, so you went from depression
straight back to denial, just like that?

Well… Just play some music, okay?

Oh, it's fine.

Everything's gonna be fine. Go.

For God's sake.

Hey, Marcelo, I just spoke
with the people at Barranquilla Airport.

They're organizing a venue for you to hold
your press conference when you arrive.

Please take your time
looking at the speech I sent.

I changed it a bit. Take care.

[phone chimes]

Luis, I've just sent you

the list of confirmed media outlets
for the press conference.

Please let everyone ask questions,
or it'll come back to us later.

[Pablo] I'm an average guy.

There's nothing special about me.
Believe me.

But, Pablo, you used to be a priest.

-What's the big deal?
-I mean…

What? [chuckles]
There's nothing special about that.

Look, we gotta wrap this up.

Why don't you hang around,
take a look at the foundation?

We've been helping
a lot of the neighborhood.

-You'll like it.
-[Alice] Hey.

Alice.

Tell us the truth.

Is there anything special about me?

There's nothing special about me.
I'm just an average guy. Tell him.

I'd love to get your thoughts.

[Benjamín and Pablo laugh]

No. [laughs]

No, really.

-[phone chimes]
-No.

-I have nothing to say.
-See?

[Benjamín] Right. Well, I'm off.

-Thanks.
-You got it. Pleasure.

Likewise, man.

Pablo, you told me that you wouldn't
talk to anyone or do any interviews.

Yeah, but he's not a journalist.

Oh, Pablo. Please don't be so naive.

In their rush to create content,
journalists will pin you against Beltrán,

and it'll be a problem for you.

I don't want you
getting into trouble. Please.

Don't look at it that way.

It's really okay.

He's just a student. Not some journalist.

-How do you know that?
-Because he said so.

The first time he came,
he asked to interview you.

I said no. You weren't gonna speak
to anyone or give any interviews.

But you misunderstood.
It's a school project.

That's all it is, honey. Nothing more.

I didn't think there'd be anything
wrong with it. You shouldn't either. Hmm?

[lively music playing]

TAXI
REQUEST SENT

I have a question.

What?

What's this school project of yours?

It's for one of my college courses.

Reporting 400.

We interview someone of distinction,
and, well, I chose Pablo.

Mm-hmm.

Why didn't you mention it
when we met, huh?

Because you didn't let me speak.

Who sent you to interview Pablo?
Tell me right now.

Nobody sent me. No one.
Why would you ask me that?

You come out of nowhere when
everybody wants to know about his life?

Who sent you?

A journalist, perhaps?

An editorial?

No, I already told you.
It's a school project. That's all.

I didn't know who to interview,
and then I saw some clips of Pablo

and said, "That guy seems cool.
I wanna meet him."

Alice, I don't wanna bother anyone, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

It's nothing personal.
I have nothing against you.

I wanna look after Pablo.

He's very exposed right now.

What's up?
Here. Grab this, brother. Come on.

[upbeat pop music playing]

[Benjamín] Sorry, what?

You're one of the new volunteers
at the foundation, right?

No. No, no, no.

I came to interview Pablo. Pablo Guevara.

-That's a bummer.
-Yeah. Why?

I'm just exhausted from carrying
this stuff. Nobody is helping me.

But whatever. It's fine.
Someone will come help soon.

-I'll help you.
-Seriously, bro?

Yeah, yeah. Of course. Sure.

Appreciate it, bro. I'm so hungover.

Thanks, man.

TAXI
CANCELED

[Samuel grunts]

-What can I do? This here?
-[grunts]

[Benjamín grunts]

Now drink up to the writing here.
This one here.

No more. No less. Let's see.

-[Alice] Eliseo, I'm here.
-[door closes]

Surprise, hey! [chuckles]

[Susana and Alice laugh]

-What a nice surprise, Su!
-Right?

Here I am, visiting your father-in-law.

It's been ages
since I've had such a good time.

Susana, you need to come by more often.

Eliseo, just so you know,

I'm down to go
wherever there's free food and alcohol.

No, no! Wait a minute. No, no, no.
Eliseo's not supposed to drink.

Su, no. No, no, no. [chuckles]

You see what I'm saying
about happiness not lasting?

It really doesn't.

They sense my happiness,
and they smash it.

-No, Eliseo. We gotta take care of you.
-I'm gonna check on the food. Be back.

Okay.

Thank you.

Su, I'm gonna k*ll you.
What are you doing here?

What are you thinking?

I have been calling all day
trying to reach you.

-And I'm sorry. I was worried because--
-Su, are you insane?

You know that when I'm traveling,
I put the phone on airplane mode.

-And I forgot to switch it off.
-Okay, see?

Don't ever forget that I am your alibi,

and I know
your whole schedule by heart, darling.

I was worried about you. How are you?

Horrible.

Now's not the time to talk about that.
How did you do at work?

Well, I did fine,
but I've got some gossip for you, babe.

-Mm?
-Laura got back together with Martín.

She's forgiven him.

-No.
-Uh-huh.

So she wanted the four of us
to meet up and talk.

-She says she was calling you.
-Ah… No. I don't have time. No.

All of this got me thinking.

I mean, girl,

if Laura literally caught Martín
in the act with another girl,

and forgave him,
Alejo and Pablo will forgive you.

Sh! No! Enough!

No more talk of this.
Are you drunk or something?

No! I only drank a little bit.

Why don't we go to the park or some café?
I don't know.

No, you know, I want you to leave.

Please. When you're drunk,
you're a menace.

[Eliseo] Susana,
are you staying for lunch?

I made a stew.

-No!
-Yes!

-Well, no.
-Yeah.

I mean, who could say no to stew?

-Oh, Alice. Cut it out.
-I'm gonna k*ll you.

-I'm gonna k*ll you.
-Shut it. Shush.

Table two's food came out way too late.
Let's give them a complimentary dessert.

Oh, you haven't gotten your wine?
I'll be right back.

How did you like the dish I recommended?

-Delicious.
-A real delicacy, huh?

Honey, if you came for your severance,
go to accounting, okay?

No, no, Laura. I came to talk to you.

[Laura scoffs]

Listen, I know this is awful,

but I'm not having
an easy time either, all right?

I am pregnant with Martín's child.

[jaunty music playing]

[music fades]

NEW MESSAGE

[Benjamín] Hey, so Pablo accepted
in the end.

You were right. He doesn't wanna say
anything revealing about his private life.

Luckily, he believes I'm doing it
for a school project.

-[intriguing music playing]
-I'll send you the interview recording.

-[woman] Sir?
-Yes?

Before I go, I found Miss Alice's ID
in a jacket she gave me

to take to the dry cleaners.

-Wasn't she traveling today?
-Yeah, I thought so. Thanks so much.

-See you tomorrow.
-Have a good night, Sara.

CALLING

Hello, you've reached Alice's voicemail.
Please leave a message.

This stew is delicious.

-Thank you.
-Mmm.

You never said your father-in-law
was such an amazing cook.

[Alice] Hmm.

There's many things
that Alice doesn't like sharing.

[Eliseo and Alice laughing]

Mmm. And you, babe? You're very quiet.

-You all right?
-Mmm.

No, it's just…

Beltrán wants to meet with me, apparently.

-Uh, what?
-[Pablo] Mm.

He's been calling me,
but I haven't picked up.

[Alice] No, Pablo.

Do not meet with that man.

He's completely insane.
He put you in jail.

I very much agree with Alice on this.

Well, obviously,
he wants to discuss the metro

and make a donation to the foundation.
Nice of him, isn't it?

Even the smallest of gains
have a trade-off.

-[Eliseo] True.
-[Pablo] Mm. I know.

I'm not that dumb, you know.

-[Susana] Mm-hmm.
-He's obviously up to something.

And not something good.

Swear to me that you won't see that guy.

I'm… I'm asking you as a personal favor.

-[pensive music playing]
-A personal favor?

I don't want anything
to happen to you, babe.

-No. My love.
-[Alice] Please don't do this to me.

-I'm begging you. No.
-You're exaggerating a little. Yeah.

He's one of those fancy guys
that likes to drive around

in their big cars and show off.

Same as that guy
that came looking for you the other day.

What's wrong?

-Um, it went down the wrong way.
-[Eliseo laughs]

Yes, the man that left his card
with Ernesto. Did he give it to you?

[Alice] Oh my God.

-Sorry, sorry.
-Babe, did he give you the card?

Yeah, yeah. Ernesto, no?

Yeah, he gave me a card. I threw it away.

Why'd you throw it away?

Babe, he was obviously a journalist.

They wanna involve you
in a scandal with Beltrán.

I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you.
I'm looking after you.

-Okay, fine.
-I have to do it. Dessert?

-[Pablo] Yeah. Yeah, yum!
-But… [chuckles]

You haven't finished your food, kid.

Oh! Well, if there's some dessert,
then we'll all have some dessert.

-What do you say, Pops? What'cha got?
-Yeah, there's rice pudding.

[Pablo] Oh, right on.

-Eliseo's rice pudding is amazing.
-It is the best. Let's go.

-Come with me.
-[Susana] Huh?

What the actual f*ck.

Say it. Let's see.

What the actual f*ck?

-[chuckles] That's it. That's it.
-[chuckles]

Hey, so Pablo, uh, used to be a priest,

and then completely quit
that because of that woman, um,

Alice?

Why are you asking me so much about Pablo?

No, because I have this school project.
I… I told you.

So I have to talk to him, and you know him
better than anyone. You're his brother.

Ah, man. If it's about that, ask anywhere.
Everyone knows him around here.

Haven't you noticed
the guy is Saint Pablo?

Yeah, he must be a saint, for real.

BENJA, WHAT TIME ARE YOU COMING?

I don't know. I don't know.

You guys go ahead,
and… and I'll work something out.

Okay.

Oh! [laughs]

-What?
-Someone's got you on a tight leash, huh?

Girl is keeping tabs on ya. Am I right?

No, are you crazy?
No, no. I don't have a girlfriend.

Aw, sweet. We're on the same team.

Yeah, buddy.

Ain't no way in hell
I'd be someone's boyfriend, man.

No, dog. What you gotta do with the ladies
is just screw them all,

have a little fun with all of them,
but never commit to any, you know?

Just do that,
and I promise you'll suffer less.

BENJA, WANT US TO WAIT?

Hey, dude, you guys go ahead.
I'll meet you there. All right? See ya.

TAXI
CANCELED

Dude, I can't believe this.
My taxi canceled again.

I can't believe this!

For f*ck's sake.

Welcome to Santa Trinidad, brother.

You can count the taxis
at night here with one hand.

I guess so.

-Another beer?
-No, no, no. I have to go. I'm sorry.

All right.

Where are you going?

Me and some, uh, guys at the hostel
wanted to check out a club.

You know what, bro?
If you want, I can take you.

It's been a while since I've partied.

I mean, if you don't mind that I join you.

No, no, no. Of course.

-Yeah?
-You got a car or a…

No, a bike. I'm into motorcycles.

Uh, man, if you wanna get going, go ahead.

-I gotta finish something here.
-Mm-hmm.

I'll catch up with you.

-Okay, see you outside.
-Cool.

[upbeat pop music playing]

[Alice] Susana, what do I do?

Why ask when you're gonna do
the exact opposite of what I tell you?

I don't get it. I don't get it. Why?

-Why would Beltrán call him? For what?
-[Susana groans]

I'm gonna have to make something up
so they never meet. I dunno.

INCOMING CALL

-[plate shatters]
-Alice!

[Pablo] Careful with the plates!
What happened?

-It was Susana, baby. I'm sorry!
-Huh?

-Why's he calling you?
-I don't know!

He probably wants to ask me about you.

I should have picked up.

-Oh no.
-I should have picked up.

-sh*t.
-Dammit.

INCOMING CALL

Oh.

-Hello?
-[Laura crying] Oh, Ali!

Thank God you're not flying right now.

Oh, yeah, no.

We haven't taken off,
so we're just waiting.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Martín is a m*therf*cker!

Calm down, what's wrong?
Wait, I don't understand.

Susana told me a second ago

that you got back together,
that you forgave him.

Eva is pregnant with Martin's child.

-[whispers] What's wrong?
-Where are you?

I don't know.

I don't know. I went for a drive,
but I had to pull over

because I feel like…

I feel like my heart is going to…

No, no, no, relax. Calm down, calm down.

I really think I'm gonna have
a heart attack right now.

Just breathe.

Send me your location right now,
and I'll come get you.

-What's wrong?
-Martín.

Are you aware you didn't tell her
you're not in Barranquilla?

Get off my a*s! You don't understand
the level of stress I'm under.

-I said the first thing that came to mind.
-Lower your voice.

Look, Laura's unwell.
I mean it. We have to go get her now.

No way. I know how this ends.
Laura's gonna end up living with me.

No. No way I'll leave you here alone.

Who knows what you could say?
Besides, Laura's messed up. Let's go.

[jaunty music playing]

-Where are we going?
-Oh, my love.

Oh, you have no idea, babe.
One of our friends is having a crisis.

-Laura.
-Who's Laura?

She's a friend of mine. We go way back.
I haven't seen her for a while.

-They had an awful falling out.
-It was a long time ago.

We got in a fight, but I love her,
and she's really not okay.

-We gotta go.
-So what happened?

No, she just… She crossed paths
with a major m*therf*cker, you know?

He really messed her up.
I'm scared she'll do something.

Because she's insane.
Like, insane, but like, seriously.

-Better if we leave now.
-Sure, come on.

-Let's go.
-No, babe!

-Susana's motorcycle will be much faster.
-Much faster.

No, the bike is dangerous.

-We're gonna leave now.
-Take the car.

-I love you. I'll call you, okay?
-Well, we're off. Bye, darling.

Nice.

[electronic music playing]

[chanting] Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots!
Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots!

[laughs]

Come on. Over here.

-Yes or no? Yes or no?
-Of course, man.

-Yeah, nice, nice.
-Let's go.

Sure, sure, sure, dude. Yeah. Here you go.

[Benjamín] Let's see.

[man] That's it!

Ah! [laughs]

[music fades]

What do you mean you're not there yet?

I've been calling her like crazy,
but her phone's busy.

[doorbell rings]

Okay, Susana. Just let me know, please.

-Okay, fine.
-[doorbell rings]

[Pablo] Who is it?

-[Ernesto stuttering] Er… Er… Er… Er…
-Okay, Ernesto. I know it's you.

[Ernesto] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-What's up?
-Pablo.

Don't take this the wrong way,
please, but…

You see, L… López's bike is… is missing,
and I think it was Samuel.

No way it was Samuel.
He's got a monitor. He can't go anywhere.

He… he took it off at the foundation,
and he left.

-[stirring music playing]
-Oh my God.

Don't leave, wait.

Don't leave!

-Laura, I was so worried about you.
-[Laura sobs] Oh, Ali!

You sent me the wrong location.

A police officer turned up
where I was parked,

and the son of a b*tch sees me crying
and makes me move my car…

-I told you he was an as*h*le.
-Ah!

-Jeez.
-What's the matter?

-[Alice] Susana!
-What's Susana doing here?

Oh, no, no, no.
I do not wanna speak to you!

-Great, then speak to Alice.
-I don't!

She'll for sure give you amazing advice.

Su!

-Let her leave.
-Honey, come on. Breathe. Come on.

Come on. Want me to drive?

-[Laura] Yes.
-Yeah?

Why? Why does this happen to me?

-These things only happen to me.
-No.

I'm so sorry. It's all right. Just relax.

I'm going to die.

You're not gonna die.
Nobody dies from this, okay?

No, literally, I'm going to die.

-No, breathe.
-[phone ringing]

-[Laura panting]
-It's okay.

Don't you collapse on me. Wait.

-I can't breathe.
-Sh.

That place was crazy.
I can't believe it! Awesome though, right?

For sure. That was insanity, brother.

-Good, huh? You needed it, didn't ya?
-Yeah, totally.

I needed to let out all that crap
I was feeling inside…

-Hey, dude.
-[man] Taxi!

-So, I have a question for you.
-[woman] Hey.

-Hey!
-So, uh…

Hey. Hey, don't leave.

-Come with us. Come with us.
-Huh? What?

-No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop.
-[woman] Yeah. Let's just get a taxi.

-Where are you going?
-In a taxi. Come on. Let's go.

-[Benjamín] Okay, I'll catch up with you.
-[woman] No, no.

Fine, okay. Hang on.

Come on, man. Start the bike. Let's go!

-You should come with us.
-[Samuel] Get off!

[tense music playing]

[man] Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

[woman screams]

[Benjamín] Hey!

Are you okay?

[breathing heavily] Hey!

Samuel.

EMERGENCY ROOM

Calm down. Just breathe.
Come on, come on. Laura, enough.

Okay, we made it. Let's go.

-Hello, evening. This is the ER, right?
-[woman] Good evening.

We need a doctor
as soon as possible, please.

Of course.
We'll just need some admission forms.

-May I have your ID, please?
-Oh, no, but wait.

-Just breathe.
-Okay, let me explain.

What I'm having is tachycardia, okay?

I might drop dead at any moment.

And if that happens
in the middle of the hallway,

then who's to blame?

-Oh, Laura.
-You would be to blame! You would!

-Okay, please. Let's calm down.
-I cannot drop dead.

Thing is, I can't drop dead because I have
to get out of here and m*rder someone.

Just breathe. Don't cause a scene, Lau.
Everything's fine. Breathe.

[phone chimes]

INCOMING CALL

-Hey.
-[Pablo] What's up, Ben?

I just heard from the neighbors
that you left the foundation with Samuel?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. He's here with me,
but he's unable to speak right now.

Well, why?

He just had an accident,
and we're at the clinic.

What? No, no, no. I'm on my way.

Come on. Let's go.

[pensive music playing]

[woman on PA] Attention all staff,
patients, and visitors.

As a reminder,
please practice proper hand hygiene

by using hand sanitizer stations
located throughout the facility.

-Well? How's he doing?
-The patient is fine.

Fortunately, it's just a minor injury.

He's very lucky.

-May I come in?
-Sure.

[Benjamín] I can? Thank you.

-[woman] Ladies.
-[Alice] Breathe.

[woman] Ladies, this way, please.
Someone will see you soon.

-Finally, I can't feel my feet.
-You see? See? Okay. Come on.

Ready?

Can't they bring me,
like… like, a wheelchair?

Come on. We're almost there.

-Or a… maybe a stretcher.
-Okay?

Lau, breathe.

-Appreciate it.
-Of course.

Awesome, here we are. Wasn't that fast?

Everything's fine. See?

There you go.

Everything's fine. Sit down.
Or better, lie down.

-How are you feeling?
-Awful.

You're gonna be fine.
Everything's gonna be fine. Don't worry.

This will pass, okay? Hey, hey, breathe.

Look at me. Look at me. Look at me.

'Cause the more you breathe like this,
the less you'll calm down.

[monitor beeping]

SAMUEL IS OKAY

Alice, please. It's so late.

Let me go to bed.

-How's Laura doing?
-[doorbell rings]

I'll m*rder you.

If you seriously brought her here,
I will m*rder you.

-Who is it?
-Alejo.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-What are you doing here?
-I'm worried about Alice.

She was supposed to travel with Beltrán,
but she didn't.

I don't know what's happened.

[intriguing music playing]

See what the nurse said? It's nothing.

They'll give you a painkiller.
It'll be fine.

No way! They have no idea.

The doctor has no idea.

-Sh!
-Alice, I feel like I might die.

No, nobody's dying.

Everything's so easy for you.

Things are easy for you because Alejo
would never do anything like this to you.

Breathe.

I listened to you, Alice.
This is all because I listened to you.

You said to listen to Martín,
and so I listened.

And I believed him.

I'm such a moron.

-You're not a moron. No.
-I am.

Because I forgave him, and for what?

[sniffles]

Why? To abandon everything,
absolutely every single thing

I wanted in life because of Martín?

Like what things?

Being a mom, for example.

What do you mean?

I canceled the treatment.

What?

Why would you do that?
What were you thinking?

It's what you wanted, Lau.

[crying]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but it's what you wanted.
Why would you cancel it?

[sobs] Because I'm a moron.
Because I'm a moron!

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Breathe. Breathe.

The thing is,

he told me
he didn't wanna be a father just yet

and that we should wait a bit and…

Now he's gonna be a father
with another woman.

-[sobs] No!
-Calm down, calm down.

-Oh no. I can't.
-Calm down, calm down. Enough, enough.

Hey.

Hey. [chuckles]

What a wild, wild night, bro.

Huh? [laughs]

[Samuel groans]

Hey, wait, wait.

-Take it slow.
-[grunts]

Take it slow. Be careful.

That's it. Slowly.

Be careful.

I gotta go back to the foundation.

No, hey, hey.

Pablo's on his way here. Okay?

You told Pablo what happened to us?

Yeah. Pablo called, and I said everything.

He's coming?

Oh my God.

What's wrong?

No, I've gotta go
before my brother gets here.

Why?

I'm not supposed to leave the foundation.

[intriguing music playing]

I was placed under house arrest.

And that bike wasn't mine.

I stole it.

What?

Bro, we gotta get
the f*ck up out of here, man.

[Samuel groans]

[Pablo] Hello.

Samuel Guevara, please.

No, I know nothing.
I mean, why would I lie to you, Alejo?

-I don't know.
-No.

No.

It's strange, right?
She was supposed to travel with Beltrán,

and I find her ID at home, and you know,

traveling without your ID
is a little difficult, so she, uh…

Yeah, for her to have gotten on the plane.
Yeah, sure, that's difficult.

However,

maybe

what happened was Beltrán,
who's a politician,

has lots of friends, and was probably able
to get her to board the plane

because, you know,
that stuff happens here, right?

-Hmm.
-Yeah.

-Is that Alice?
-No, it's Simón, my editor.

Is it normal for him to text late?

Yeah, Simón worries about me.
He also worries about Alice.

You know what?
I have to deal with this call.

-Okay? Thanks.
-Okay, fine.

So…

-Uh…
-Okay, bye.

[intriguing music playing]

You're feeling a little calm now, right?

[laughs] Aw, I love you.

And I love you!

You see? It'll all work out.

-[phone buzzing]
-It'll all work out.

Everything's fine.

Oh, the… the nurse left another pill here.

Should… should we split one?

-You have no idea how good this feels.
-No, don't be stupid.

-Just a little bit, please!
-I'm so glad you're calmer now, Laura.

You see? It was nothing, sweetheart.

-Everything's fine now.
-Huh? That thing's going boop, boop, boop.

[Alice] Oh!

Susana.

Hello, Su.

-Finally! Where are you?
-Where else would I be?

Here, at the clinic with Laura.
She's much better now.

And where are you supposed to be?

[Alice laughs]

If this is one of your weird jokes,
I'm really not in the mood.

Alice, have you forgotten that you were
traveling with Beltrán to Barranquilla?

[intriguing music playing]

[Laura] Everything okay?

I can hardly get a signal in here.
Hello, hello?

Hello?

Susana, what happened?
Tell me, tell me, tell me what happened?

This is what you get
for being a good friend

and going off with Laura
and forgetting you had an alibi, Alice.

Yeah, I know, I know.
Alejo's gonna find out.

Laura's gonna tell Carolina I was
with her. She'll know I didn't travel.

No, they're not speaking to each other,
but Alejo already knows you didn't travel.

How come?

Well, because you left your ID at home.

So he came here, in detective mode,

asking me a bunch of questions, Alice.

[groans]

[phone chimes]

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, please, please, please.

Oh f*ck!

[Pablo] What's it gonna take, brother?
Huh?

Pablo, I'm sorry.

-I swear I--
-Don't swear anything.

Pablo.

Please, stay out of it.

Lau, you don't happen to have
a phone charger, do you?

No, no, no.

But check my bag anyway.

It's fine. You're feeling better, right?
You feel fine? Look at me.

-Yeah?
-Yeah, yeah.

-Wanna get out of here?
-Oh yeah!

-Let's go. Yeah. Get dressed.
-This place is depressing. Makes me sad.

-The energy's off here.
-We're leaving. You're better now.

Didn't you have a flight to catch?

-Yeah, but it got canceled. Come on.
-Ah!

-Let's go.
-You're gonna rat me out, aren't you?

You stole a bike, Samuel.

I'm gonna tell the police what you did.
If that's ratting you out, then I will.

Come on. Move it. Let's go.

Now.

-We're leaving, we're leaving.
-[Laura] Okay, okay.

-[stirring music playing]
-[Alice gasps]

-Lie down. Stop manipulating me.
-[grunts]

No, you're not fine.
You're my responsibility.

-Wait--
-You don't look well.

-Can you take this off?
-No, but I--

-I told you that I--
-You're not going anywhere!

-Let's calm down, okay? Just breathe.
-No, but--

-No, no, no. Calm down and breathe.
-Okay, okay.

-Just breathe.
-Breathe?

Do you feel tingling?

-Well, I'm--
-Yeah.

You really don't look well.
You're very pale.

-Yeah, I feel weird again.
-The doctor's coming.

I don't like seeing you this way.
I'm gonna get the doctor.

-See? This is never going to end.
-Stretch both legs.

Pablo, listen to me.

Listen to me, please.
Samuel's not at fault here.

I stole the bike, all right?

I asked him to come with me
and… to come party with us.

Look, I never thought any of this
would happen to us,

but we just wanted to have some fun,
right, Samuel?

Fine, just return the bike, then.

-It's been stolen.
-[Pablo sighs]

I just spent money I don't have,
and now I have to pay for a motorcycle?

No, no. Stop. Listen to me. Look at me.
I'll pay for the bike, okay?

Okay? Please tell the owner
that he'll have the money by tomorrow.

I promise. Relax.

I can't believe you two.

You heard him.
You always get worked up over nothing.

Over nothing? You took off your bracelet
to go party, and that's nothing?

Stop lecturing.
You're not a priest anymore.

Only reason I'm not calling the police
to throw you in jail is because of pops.

Come on.

[engine sputtering]

-[Alejo] What's wrong? You okay?
-What are you doing here?

You said you were at a clinic.
I was worried.

Yeah, but I didn't ask you to come.

But you can call at three in the morning
asking for money to buy a motorcycle?

How's that work?

[Benjamín] Look, I'm sorry.
I didn't know what to do.

I was anxious,
and I didn't know anybody here.

-What was I supposed to do?
-So should I take you to the hostel or…

No, it's okay. I'm gonna go get a taxi.

Ah, f*ck's sake! I left my phone inside.

[sighs]

[Alejo] Pablo Guevara?

[intriguing music playing]

Hello, I'm Alejo Valdés.

[intriguing music continues]

[Alice] See?

It was just a matter of breathing.

Now you're fine.

-You feel better?
-Yeah.

You'll be just fine.

-[Pablo] Do I know you?
-Well, I know you, actually.

I went to the foundation a few days ago
and left a card.

I don't know if you got it or…

Excuse me. I've… I've gotta go.

POLICE

-[music stops]
-[engine starts]

EMERGENCY ROOM

[Laura] Are you not hungry?

-[Alice] No.
-Let's go get a hot dog.

[Alice] Order one at home, honey.

[Laura] Mmm.

[intriguing music playing]

The van's coming tomorrow.
You're gonna help me.

The donations are arriving.
I want you up early.

Come on, put it on.

You're not gonna take it off.
Let's go, hurry.

[Samuel groans]

[lively acoustic guitar music playing]

I OWE YOU ONE

[music fades]

[romantic pop music playing]

I NEED…

I FOUND OUT…

f*ck OFF…

ONLINE

BLOCKED

-[Alice] I already explained.
-[Pablo] What?

I couldn't travel
because I didn't have my ID.

When I was about to call and tell you,
Laura called, and I had to go rescue her.

Okay, but why not call or text me, then?

-My phone died.
-Again? Your phone died, again?

-Yeah, I'm serious. My phone died again.
-But your phone never dies for Laura, huh?

Because she called me before.

-Ah, okay.
-She was losing her mind.

Okay.

She's…

Martín knocked up another woman.

You know how she must feel right now?

Her partner is having a child
with another person. Laura is devastated.

I had to go be with her.

Anyway, what were you doing at the clinic?

I was worried about you.
That's what I was doing there.

I mean, I thought
something had happened to you.

-I went from one clinic to the other.
-What?

-I went to a hospital!
-Why did you do that?

Because I worry about you! That's why!

Relax. Relax.
There's no book about Pablo Guevara.

And I'm not getting involved.

I won't cause a single problem
for you at work.

No, I'm not relaxed. I can't relax.

It's not even your fault.
In all honesty, it's mine.

-There goes the victim blaming herself.
-Not being a victim.

-What, then?
-It's the truth. It's my fault.

-Yeah?
-Yes.

It's my fault that you didn't
accept the job at the embassy.

My fault you're not gonna write the book
you wanted to write. It's all my fault.

No, it's not your fault that I didn't
accept the job at the embassy.

-I won't write it because I don't want to.
-You're doing it for me.

-For God's sake.
-You said it.

This is a lot for me!
I can't take any more!

[Alejo sighs]

We're gonna have to take a break, Alejo.

[uneasy music playing]

-I'm sorry?
-I want us to take a break.

I can't do this.
