Post by bunniefuu »

[pensive music playing]

-Why did you come here? Leave. Please.
-[Marcelo] You gonna try to sh**t me?

Are you gonna try
to sh**t me like last time?

Ladies and gentlemen,

you are all witnesses
to the treatment that I face.

What?

Okay, wait for me.

[Marcelo] We've been informed
there are people

who have been paid to attack me.

Oh, quit spreading lies!
Are you just here to provoke us?

-[Juan] Calm down.
-[Pablo] Tell us why you're here.

To speak. I've come here in peace.

-Then let's talk in my office.
-[Marcelo] Let's talk.

-[Ernesto] Pablo, are… are you sure?
-Yeah. Stay with my dad. Stay with my dad.

[crowd clamoring]

-[Pablo] Follow me.
-Yup, that's the one. Aah!

-[chuckles]
-What are you doing here?

No, well, I…

I got here, crossed over here,
and… and I was so thirsty

that I saw this and…

Ah, thanks so much. Sorry. I'm better now.

-Thank you.
-All right. Come in.

[Susana] Excuse me.

-[Susana exhales]
-[music fades]

Oh, hey.

You look very pretty in that photo,
let me tell ya.

Tell me you grabbed it.

Yeah. Yeah, just before Marcelo saw it.

Don't leave. If they start talking
about personal matters,

butt in and interrupt them.

Yeah. Okay. How'd it go with Alejo?

You think now's the time
to talk about that? No!

Oh, sorry for wanting
a little gossip. God.

How you doing?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

It's the fourth car they've canceled.

-[man] Wait!
-[screams]

What?!

If I may, I can help you out, miss.

I actually have a guy for what you need.

Yeah? I can trust him?

Yeah, of course.

-Can he come now? Like right now?
-Yeah, of course.

Fine. Sure. Okay. Yes.

Call him.

Yeah, see, I ran out of minutes.

Mind if I borrow your…

JUST ALICE

EPISODE 9
CHRISTMAS EVE

As you can see,
it's very obvious that eviction

hasn't been part of my political agenda.

So what's this, then?

'Cause the metro
still runs through our neighborhood.

Right, but that doesn't mean
you're going to end up homeless.

On the contrary,
we'll relocate anyone who needs housing.

And I can't even tell you how beautiful
these new places are gonna be.

Because for you, all of you,
change is in your best interest.

It's a win-win. That's for sure.

Mr. Beltrán,
what'll it take for you to understand?

This is our neighborhood,
and we're not leaving.

It doesn't matter
if you wanna move us somewhere better.

We will defend our neighborhood,
whatever the cost.

So, sir,

thank you.

God bless you.

[intriguing music playing]

[Susana] Excuse me. Excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me. I'm here.

Susana.

-Why are you drinking? Come on.
-Well, why not? I'm really stressed.

-What happened now?
-No, everything's fine. Relax.

It seems like the two of them
are just talking…

-But they met. Oh no!
-Yeah, I got the photo. Stop worrying.

-[camera shutter clicking]
-[woman] Here comes Beltrán!

[crowd clamoring]

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?

-I've met with Saint Pablo in there…
-[camera shutters clicking]

[Alice] What do I do?
Why is this happening to me?

[Susana] Alice, no. Wait.

-Pretend to be hurt. Go with it.
-Me? I'm not a good actress.

No, no, no, no, no! Don't do it.
Don't… [screams]

And now these guys, they wanna…

-[Susana] I've been hit!
-She needs help!

[Susana screams] Help!

-[Marcelo] Huh?
-[Alice] Marcelo!

-[Marcelo] They want everything for free.
-Marcelo! Let's go!

[Susana groans]

[intriguing music continues]

-Ali, where were you?
-Baby, what's going on?

-You wouldn't believe what just happened.
-Yeah, I'm aware. Susana's hurt.

-Can you help her? She's over there.
-What?

[Pablo] Excuse me. Excuse me.

[Alice] Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

[man] Excuse me.

-Marcelo.
-What are you doing here?

What do you mean?
You're all over the news.

I had to come rescue you, per usual.

That priest wants to screw with me
whenever he feels like it.

I won't let him do that.

Don't complicate things more.
I'm begging you.

You're the one who has done that
ever since you became involved, Alice.

What are we gonna…

You two know each other? Uh…

[Alice] What? Who doesn't know Beltrán?

Everybody adores Beltrán.

[jaunty music playing]

-Come on. Let's go.
-[engine starts]

Yes. Yes.
It's best if you leave, Mr. Beltrán.

Don't come back to this neighborhood.
No one wants you here.

-I'm outraged, Father.
-Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hang on.

[Alice] Mr. Beltrán can't do this.

-Enough. Enough.
-He can't do this, Father.

[Juan] What happened?
You talk to him about the metro?

[Alice] Yes. I went over to speak to him.
I explained we won't allow this to happen.

-The neighbors won't allow this.
-[Juan] Let's calm down, please.

[music fades]

[reporter] Marcelo Beltrán has now moved
even further down in the polls

after disrupting the opening ceremony

of the foundation
led by ex-priest Pablo Guevara.

Okay, you can't blame Marcelo
for how this priest influences everyone.

Guevara's got absolutely nothing
to do with this, um, Luis.

This priest screws me
at any time that he feels like it.

He's so good at it.

Marcelo, this is the most critical moment
of this entire campaign.

Our main objective should be restoring
your political image.

I will focus on creating a new formula
to regain the voters you lost,

but for the love of God,

don't shift from what we have agreed upon
and what we've rehearsed, please.

No, you're right on that.

But still. Don't you find it strange that
the whole time you've worked undercover,

you haven't found a single thing?

Nothing. She's found nothing.

[scoffs]

-But that's better.
-Huh?

[Marcelo] Better because even though
our priest may be squeaky clean,

he really doesn't know
who he's messing with.

I'm going to be
the president of this country,

and when I am,
I will personally handle Guevara.

[Alice] Marcelo, enough. Please.

Stop thinking about Guevara.

Focus on what's important. The campaign.

I need you by my side 24/7.
So don't go back to that neighborhood.

-I want you beside me.
-Okay.

Our methodologies
are completely different,

but you've done things very well lately.

Cheers. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Marcelo. Merry Christmas.

[chuckles wryly]

[breathes deeply]

[relieved sigh]
Finally out of the danger zone.

[festive music playing]

PHOTO ALBUM

[festive music continues]

MERRY CHRISTMAS! ALEJO, THANK YOU
FOR SO MANY YEARS OF LOVE. ALICE.

[festive music continues]

MERRY CHRISTMAS! ALL MY LOVE,
FOREVER AND ALWAYS, ALICIA

[phone ringing]

Hey, Su.

[music fades]

Yeah, I… I'll head your way in a sec.

Okay? I'll leave Alejo's present with you,
that way you can take it to Carolina's

'cause I'm gonna stop by Pablo's,
and I'm not taking Alejo's gift there.

Yes, Susana,

I am going to spend Christmas Eve
over at Carolina's house

because I wanna see Alejo, okay?

[lively pop music playing]

TO PABLO

TO ALEJO

[phone whooshes]

Alejo, hello.

Caro told me that you're back from Bali.

I want…

[phone chimes]

[music fades]

[cheerful tropical music playing]

Let's put all of the food here.
Yeah. All the food here, Samuel.

Everyone can eat here,
and the presents will go under the tree.

[Eliseo] Hey, Pablo! Son!

The people from
the humanitarian organization are here.

-[Pablo] Gentlemen. How are you? Welcome.
-Afternoon.

-Sam. Come here.
-This goes here.

Leandro, leave it over here.

Go and hide the kids' presents
so they don't see them. Quickly.

-What happened with the turkeys?
-Oh, uh, they're on their way.

Hang on. We said…

-Pleasure, Samuel.
-Pleasure, Hugo.

Pablo wants to surprise the kids.

-I'm gonna show you where the presents go.
-Perfect.

Guys, let's bring them in through here
into this room.

[Eliseo] Over there.

Plates, spoons,
everything has to be set out here.

-Hello, babe.
-Hello.

Are you still mad at me?

No.

No. I mean, it's not that I'm angry.
It's just…

This doesn't seem fair, you know?

We're newlyweds,
and we're spending Christmas apart.

-That's just not right.
-I know.

I didn't know
they'd put me on that flight.

-I didn't want to, but it's my job.
-I know.

-That's why I don't complain.
-Hmm.

But I'm not happy about it. It's not fair.

I understand.

Baby, I promise
that we'll spend next Christmas together.

All of them, I swear.

-You swear?
-Yes, I swear.

Fine, we'll be together, but…

but with a baby.

[tender music playing]

-Yeah?
-[chuckles]

Babe, I know
that this is a complicated subject

with what happened, but

you'd make me
the happiest man in the world

with a little baby that has your eyes,

your lashes, your face.

I love you.

I love you. I promise, I love you.

[music fades]

Writer's block, I assume. No?

When you're blanking on what to write,

they say it's best
not to put pressure on yourself, and,

eventually, the ideas
will just come to you on their own accord.

The results
still aren't back from the lab.

-What are you doing here?
-Nothing.

It's Christmas Eve, and I figured
I'd drop by, come say hi, and…

and give you this book.

That's the first novel that I wrote.

Well, it's not
the most sophisticated prose,

but in every line,
there's passion, at least.

In fact, I was your age when I wrote it,

and that same book,
I won my first prize at my university.

Hmm.

-[Benjamín] With this book?
-Yeah.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
WHETHER YOU ARE OR AREN'T.

Thanks.

What are you doing tonight?

Mm, no idea. You?

Just with the family.

Do you wanna… come over?

No. No, no, no. No way. That'd be weird.

What, you wanna introduce me
as the son of a buddy of yours or what?

What are you gonna say?

-Hmm. No.
-Right?

I think that until we have the results,

it doesn't make a lot of sense
to see each other.

Yeah, maybe you're right. I don't know.

We could make the most of it though.

Since you're here,
we can get to know each other more.

We can talk.

You know, a friend of mine
said something very similar?

I don't know them,
but I like your friend. A lot.

I don't know. Christmas and the holidays
should be spent with family and friends,

and you and I, for now, are neither.

Yeah.

Well,

thanks again.

-Merry Christmas.
-Thanks.

[lively music playing]

"Whether you are or aren't."

[Carolina] Hey, hey, hey!

You guys, I am so happy
because I'm getting my house ready

for the best night of the entire year.

Christmas Eve!

Okay, I'm gonna show you a surprise.

Look at this team of Argentinian chefs.
Guys, say hello!

-Hello! Hi!
-Hello.

I'm also gonna show you
our outdoor decorations.

How beautiful is this?

And another surprise is that my friend Su
is gonna DJ. Su, say hello!

Oh, hi, guys!

Here's my friend, Laura.
Look at how we set up these cute bottles…

-That m*therf*cker.
-[Carolina] Laura, you ruined my story.

Martín had originally made plans
to take me to dinner at the club.

-And who's he with?
-[Martín] Aw, I love you.

That stupid b*tch Eva!

This is gonna be a night to remember.
That's for sure.

-I'll just swing by and say hello.
-No. No.

If I was supposed to be there,
then I will be there.

Sweetie. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Lau.

I wanted you to come early as a favor
to have fun, maybe dance with us,

have a few drinks, but not for this show.

-I want a peaceful party.
-Where should I leave this gift?

-You brought a gift?
-It's for Alejo.

-You brought Alejo a gift?
-Oh.

No, Laura. Why would I buy Alejo a gift?

Obviously from Alice.
Where do you want it?

-By the tree.
-I'll take it.

Alice separates from Alejo
and buys him a gift?

I didn't get Martín absolutely anything.
I should have bought Martín something.

In fact, I should get him a gift
and take it to the club.

-Slowly. [laughs]
-Where are you? What's the mystery?

-Here. Wait. Hold on.
-Okay?

Keep your eyes closed.

-Huh?
-Keep your eyes closed.

Don't open them yet.

[Pablo] Still closed.

Oh.

Ta-da!

-No. Oh, I love you.
-[laughs]

And I love you.

Babe, I didn't buy you anything.
I'm so bad at this stuff.

No, I don't want anything.

You've given me so much.

What you said to me today was so sweet.

I love you.

All I want is you.

Love you.

God, this is so sweet.
I'll open it at 12:00.

-Mm.
-I'll hold on to this tag.

So you remember me?

I don't need a tag to remember you.
I think about you every minute.

-You promise?
-And every second of the day.

[both moan]

-I do too.
-I love you.

[phone chimes]

-I've gotta go.
-No.

Ernesto.

-Hmm?
-No, I have to get going, babe. Ugh.

-To the foundation?
-Yup.

No, wait. I'll come with you.

-Really?
-Yeah, I still have some time.

We can be together a bit longer.

-Yeah?
-Oh, yes, please. Yes! I love this idea.

["Navidad en cada esquina"
by Camilo and Evaluna]

-Yeah, over here.
-Pablo.

God bless you. Oh my. Thank you so much.

They're beautiful. Thank you.

[Eliseo] Wait.
We'll help you with the bag.

[Pablo] Oh gosh. That's amazing.

God bless you. Thank you.

-Thanks so much.
-Yeah, you got it?

-[Eliseo] I can help you.
-[man] Let me help.

How thoughtful. Thank you, sweetheart.

♪ It's beginning to look… ♪

Hey, sorry!
When are you gonna serve the food?

I am just fed up with these tiny slices
of cheese and ham, you know. I'm hungry.

When the guests arrive.

This here is my work station,
so please move a bit to the side.

-Thank you.
-I can take this over there for you.

-No!
-Oh!

Ms. Carolina wants us to serve
at 9:00 on the dot.

Ms. Carolina is uptight as f*ck,
and the DJ is starving.

So what can I…

♪ Toys in every store… ♪

God bless you. Merry Christmas.

-[Eliseo] It smells delicious.
-Mr. Jose.

Thank you so much.
Pops, you mind helping me out, please?

Hello there. Thank you for calling
the suicide prevention line.

Someone's having a blast.

Alice. I have been here for three hours.

I had to show up early
to get the equipment ready.

This party's gonna suck.

The chef thinks
he's some judge on a reality show.

Just get here already. Where are you?

-In the neighborhood.
-What are you doing there?

Carolina is driving everyone nuts
with her stupid Instagram stories.

Laura…

Dude, Laura might just send Martín
a hired hitman

because he took Eva to the club.
Can you believe that?

What? If he took her there,

it's cause
he's gonna introduce her to everyone.

Hey, Su, do you think Alejo
is going to Carolina's

with the girl he took to Bali?

Well, if he does, then we can meet her.

I am positive that Alejo didn't fly alone.

He's just been weird,
and he's disappeared.

He won't call. Last time we were together,
he threw me out of the house.

It was embarrassing. On the other hand…

I wish you could experience Christmas
in the neighborhood, Su.

Everyone is so sweet.
Everything looks so cute.

The neighbors got presents for Pablo.

They brought so much food to do a potluck,

and there's gonna be music.

You're just missing the donkey,
the big ox, the three wise men.

Please join me in the real world, yeah?
You belong here, remember?

I'm staying here.

Alice, I will k*ll myself with a banana
if you don't get your a*s here now.

Pablo told me he wants to have
a baby girl with me. Can you imagine?

Oh, you should've seen his face when he…

Alejo and I had talked about this
at the beginning of our relationship,

but never spoke about it again.

Are you seriously talking about babies?
Have you lost it?

Do you need a refresher on the situation
that you are in right now?

I wasn't saying
I wanna have a kid, stupid.

All I'm saying is it was cute
how Pablo said it.

Stop this stupid nonsense
and get over here,

or I'll have someone get you
in a damn straitjacket.

No, Su. This is where I belong.
I'm staying here.

[groans] Oh my…

No, Caro, I don't understand
why you keep asking me so many times.

I've already told you that I'm going.

[Carolina] Ale, I'm telling you
because Alice is coming too.

So I'm letting you know
in case you didn't wanna run into her.

[pensive music playing]

Girls, I'm sorry. I won't be spending
Christmas with you. I have to work.

NEW VOICE MESSAGE

[Alejo] Hi, Ali,
uh, just got back from Bali and…

and, well, I didn't know whether
to message you or not, or…

or to send you a voice note,
maybe at midnight,

to wish you a merry Christmas.

Caro just told me that you're going to be
at her house tonight, and…

and, well, I'm really pleased
that we'll be spending Christmas together.

Sending you a big kiss, and see you soon.

Ali, weren't you leaving?
What happened to your flight?

Yeah, baby.

I was just about to get a taxi,

but I wanted to make the most
of our time together.

Thanks, babe.

-It's nice, huh?
-[Alice] Beautiful.

Yeah, I'm a little nervous.
I just want things to be perfect.

But yeah, everything's super pretty.

HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATION

These people love to talk.
It's actually insane.

They literally just offer you information.

[Luis] Mm-hmm.

Mm. There's something fishy going on
with some land. But listen, okay?

I got the cherry on top here.

Yeah? What?

Guevara's brother is under home detention.

Apparently, he's living at the foundation.

-Huh?
-[tense music playing]

All right!

This is what's left over for the raffle?

Yeah, from one to ten.

-Is that…
-[girls clamoring]

[Pablo] What's up with the taxi?
Has it arrived?

All right, babe.

[Pablo] Okay, wait for me.
I'm going inside.

-[girl] Bye.
-[gasps]

Stay still. Stay still. Be quiet.

[clears throat]

Alice!

[laughs]

What are you doing here?

Oh, I'm just spreading festive cheer.

See, Hugo here told me that Marcelo,
as generous as he is,

was gonna send some donations,
so I thought, "Hey, I'll come with you!"

But I never imagined I'd find this.
Why are you dressed like this?

[scoffs] That's funny.

How do you expect me
to come here every day?

I had to pretend I'm a flight attendant
so I could come and go as I pleased.

You're still coming here?
But I thought your work was done.

And you expect me to just
disappear from the foundation?

What if they ask questions or follow me?

-What if they find out about us?
-Of course. Of course. Of course.

I wasn't aware
you were such a good professional liar.

I guess we're both the same.

-No. Trust me. We're not.
-Yes.

-Yes. Yup.
-No.

No one can see you here, "Louie."

It's Luis. It's…

Nuts. Ha!

-Just stop drinking, Lau.
-I'm outta here.

[Laura] No, Susi!

What do you mean you're leaving?
What about the freaking music?

Look, this party blows
because of the music you want.

Besides, I am starving,
and they won't give me food.

What are you talking about?
There's food everywhere.

[phone ringing]

Alice, if you're calling to tell me
that now you're playing the virgin

in the neighborhood's nativity scene,
I really don't care.

I just left.
I'll get changed and then head to Caro's.

What? What do you mean?
You trying to drive me crazy or what?

Alejo left me a message.

He's very excited to see me
and wants to spend Christmas with me.

That's gotta be a sign.

That you are deranged.

No! It means he went to Bali by himself.

That he wasn't with a woman.

I'm sure he wants to get back together.

Oh, Alice. I don't know
what to tell you anymore.

But fine, I'll be here.

[melodic acoustic guitar music playing]

[lips smack] I'm staying.

Blessed are those
who follow in the ways of the Lord.

Your wife will be
like a fruitful grapevine,

flourishing within your home.

This is the word of the Lord.

[all] Amen.

[Juan] It's normal for you
to miss giving mass.

[chuckles]

After all, this is your first Christmas
officially as a layman.

Yeah, but…

Well, yeah, I guess.
I do miss giving mass.

[chuckles]

Are you afraid you've made a mistake?

[wistful music playing]

You know I renounced the priesthood
so I could be with Alice, right?

To build a home.

Except she just works all the time.

Well, working as a flight attendant
can't be easy. Right?

Why are you having doubts?

I don't have doubts.

I sense that you don't completely
trust Alice.

Am I right?

No, it's not that.

I trust and respect my wife's word.

It's just not my place to ask her
to stop working to stay home with me.

-That's just not right.
-There's something I need to tell you.

[tense music playing]

You two know each other? Uh…

Who doesn't know Beltrán?

Know what? Forget it. [laughs]

-No, don't listen to me.
-No.

This time of the year
always makes me really nostalgic.

Well, I am not the most qualified person
to give relationship advice.

-Let's be real.
-Let's be real.

No, I… I just, uh…

All I'm saying is you…

have to trust yourself.

But don't go acting
on any impulses, please.

[music fades]

[phone ringing]

INCOMING CALL

Hey, man. What's up?

[Samuel] Hey, what's going on?

Uh, why haven't I seen you around?

Well, Pablo told me
I didn't have to work today.

-Oh yeah, I know, but, uh…
-But what?

No, no. Nothing. [sighs]

All good.

So what'cha doing?

Changing my clothes.

So why are you calling me?
So I can help you choose an outfit?

[Samuel chuckles]

No, I was calling about something else.

Who are you hanging out with tonight?

No one.

I thought you'd be
with the people from the hostel.

Nah. Everyone here went home.

Well, then you better get ready
for a rager, buddy.

Yeah, I bet it's gonna be so much fun.

No, I mean it.

Come party with us.

Only thing is, don't expect me
to pick you up on a motorcycle,

because I don't wanna go back to jail.

[tropical music playing]

[music fades]

Ma'am, would you like us to start serving?

-Oh, yes! Oh, please.
-No, no, no.

-We're still waiting for Alejo.
-[Susana groans]

Fine.

-But…
-[Alejo] Hello?

Oh, we can serve the food now!

-Hey! We were just talking about you.
-Hey there.

[Carolina] Welcome.
Okay. I'm gonna show you a surprise.

How are you?

[Alejo] Fine.

Fine. How are you?

Fine. I'm glad you're here.

Yeah. Well, I just got back.

How was your trip to Bali?

Uh, great. It was great.
I needed some time alone, and

I think it was helpful. Made me think.

I realized I was an as*h*le last time.

But, you know, I was a bit, uh, nervous,

somewhat hurt as well, and I

thought about calling, but, well…

You know I'm not good at that stuff.
You know me better than anyone.

[romantic pop music playing]

-It's so great to see you.
-I'm happy to see you.

[both laugh]

[crowd cheering]

Pops, we'll be right back. One minute.

That's for you.

-I need you to do me a favor.
-What is it?

Take care of pops 'cause I gotta go.

What do you mean, bro? Where?

[cumbia music playing]

I'm gonna surprise Alice.

I'm going to the airport to buy a ticket
on the flight she's working

so we can spend Christmas together.

Wow, look at you with your moves.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Hey, you know what?
Don't worry about Pops. I've got him.

-Please.
-All good. All good.

-What time's the flight?
-Now, I gotta go right now.

Oh, grab something to eat.

-Take some food.
-No. I don't have time.

Well, at least grab a little donut. Okay?

-No, I'll eat this. That's it.
-That's all?

Oh, my boys! [chuckles]

You don't know the joy that I feel inside,

having us all spend a Christmas together,
the three of us.

-Oh! I'm so lucky.
-Pops, I'm so sorry, but I have to go.

-No.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Samuel's gonna be here.

-But--
-I'll be back tomorrow. Tomorrow.

I'll fill you in later. Yeah? Everyone!

Everyone, the food is served.
You can eat whatever you want.

This is for the whole
Santa Trinidad neighborhood.

We love you from the bottom of our hearts.

I must get going,
but I want this to be the best Christmas

you've had in your whole lives. Thank you.

-Okay.
-Get going, bro. We're fine.

Listen up! Everyone, let's give
a big round of applause for Pablo,

who organized this for all of us.

-Okay, see ya.
-Okay, thanks.

Look after him, please.
Watch your drinking.

-Thank you!
-Let's eat.

-Everybody grab their plate.
-Yes. And that.

That's enough. Okay.

That's fine, son.

Is that tasty? I'll have some later.

All right. Let's see.

Sit here.

[Ernesto] Eliseo, j… just one.

-Hey, hey!
-[Samuel] Hey, buddy!

How's it going?

[Samuel] Awesome, man.

Great to see you.

-How are you, man?
-I'm good, bro.

-Thanks.
-So glad you're here.

I brought us something.

-Ooh, yeah.
-Nice, right?

We should definitely save this for later.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Come on. Come on. Let me get you a plate.

Damn! Look at you,
dressed all fancy and sh*t, bro.

You look great. You look great.

Thanks, man. Thanks.

[intriguing music playing]

[indistinct announcement over PA]

No, no, miss. It's gotta be the Bogotá
to Caracas flight at 10:00, please.

What is your name?

Pablo Guevara.

I'm sorry. Do you know if Alice Fernández
is working on that flight?

We can't give you the name
of our cabin crew. Even I don't know.

-Thanks.
-[woman] Traveling alone?

Yes.

Well, it's your lucky day.

There weren't many seats left
on this flight.

Oh, great. Perfect. Here.

Thank you.

[cumbia music playing]

[Benjamín] One more! One more! One more!

[Samuel] Oh, you made her dizzy, man!

[man 1] All right, friends.
The time has come.

Santa Trinidad. Let's go!

[all] Five, four, three, two, one.

-[man 2] Hey.
-[woman] Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.

-Come here. Look, look! Look at this!
-[fireworks exploding]

It's beautiful. Look! Look!

[man 3] Wow! Look at that.

Nice, right? [laughs]

-Oh, I love this.
-[Eliseo] Wow!

This is your Captain, Jorge Cárdenas.

On behalf of all the cabin crew
and myself,

we wish you a merry Christmas.

[passengers] Merry Christmas!

["Jingle Bells" playing]

Merry Christmas, Ale.

Merry Christmas, my love.

♪ Oh, what fun it is to ride ♪

♪ In a one horse open sleigh ♪

[music stops]

Merry Christmas.

-[fireworks exploding]
-[distant cheering]

Oh, what?

You got me a present?

It's more like a small loan, to be honest.

Ah!

I think you're gonna like it.

sh*t, I'm sorry, bro.
I didn't get you anything.

You invited me here. That means so much.

Yeah, but I mean,
you show up with champagne and all.

[romantic music playing]

Then we're even.

Who's Alejo?

No one.

All right. Come on. Give me a sip of that.

[romantic music continues]

If you were able to make
one wish for Christmas,

what would it be, bro?

I don't believe in any of that.

What about you?

If I'm completely honest…

to have more nights like this one.
You know what I'm saying?

What's wrong with you, bro?

[grunts]

-[Samuel] What the hell?
-[grunts]

I look like a f*gg*t to you, or what?

[Benjamín groans]

Don't pull that sh*t on me.

[panting]

Well, I owe you a present.

I didn't know if you were gonna be here,
and when I found out,

I thought of buying you a gift,
but it was a bit late.

It doesn't matter.

The best gift is that you're here.

Well…

It's a photo album, so…

I picked out all of my favorite pictures
from our travels,

all the moments we've shared,
so you think of me when you see it.

Oh, I don't need any pictures
to think about you, Ali.

[smooth house music playing]

-Wow. [chuckles] I can't wait.
-You're gonna like it.

-You're actually gonna love the first one.
-[phone ringing]

Oh! Hang on.

-Here.
-Just a second.

-Hello.
-[Benjamín] I'm sorry to bother you.

I gotta get out of here,
and I can't get a taxi.

They f*cked me up.

Oh. Oh. Okay. Okay. Just stay calm.

Uh, send me your address
and… and I'll come get you in a bit. Okay?

-All right?
-Uh-huh.

HOW THINGS STARTED…

-[tense music playing]
-[Alejo] Sorry.

Uh, I have to leave immediately.
Uh, a friend's son is visiting Bogotá.

Uh-huh?

And he had an accident
and asked me to go pick him up.

-I'll go with you.
-No, no. You stay.

-No, stay here. I'll be right back.
-I'll hold on to it for you.

-Okay, see you back at the house?
-Yeah. Go.

-Go.
-I, uh, loved seeing you.

-I love you.
-Love you too.

-Listen to me.
-Mm!

-What? Whoo!
-Take her to the bathroom.

-See if she pukes.
-Don't ask me to do that.

-You want her to puke on your shirt?
-I'm totally fine.

-All right.
-No, no, no, no, no. This isn't necessary!

-For all of you that have asked…
-Where is Susana? Have you seen her?

-She's not playing music. I don't know!
-Where is she? Dammit. I need her now.

-Susana.
-[Carolina groans]

That food was disgusting.

-Oh yeah?
-Uh-huh.

-You know what?
-What?

-It wasn't for you.
-Oh yeah? So what is?

[energetic music playing]

So this I'm allowed to eat?

[both moaning]

-Yes, chef! Yes, chef! Yes, chef!
-Yeah, you can have some of this.

[both moaning]

[knocking at door]

-Open.
-[Susana] I think I have food poisoning.

Be right out!

-[both moaning]
-Yes, baby.

[Susana] Give it to me.
Give it to me. Yeah.

[Laura vomiting]

NEW VOICE MESSAGES

[Pablo] Hello, my love.
I'm about to get on your flight.

In case you haven't switched off
your phone, I'll see you soon.

You'll think I'm crazy, and maybe I am,
because I paid a fortune for this ticket.

But I'm not ready for us
to spend our first Christmas

as husband and wife apart.

That's not gonna happen.

So I'll see you soon. I love you!

-[exhales] No! No! No!
-[tense music playing]

No, no, no, no, no!

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

[music fades]

-Your nose is completely busted open.
-Wait. Please. Wait.

[distant fireworks exploding]

You mind explaining why you preferred
to spend Christmas here at the foundation?

-A friend invited me.
-Huh. The one who punched you?

[exhales]

Well, it seems like
you don't wanna talk, so, uh…

No. No. All I want… I'm begging you,
please take me back to the hostel.

Hey.

-You're not gonna tell me who hit you?
-What?

I provoked him.

-Okay, who?
-No one.

[chuckles]

-What's so funny?
-Packs a punch, this "no one."

[both chuckle]

[sniffles]

I'm sorry for…

for ruining your Christmas Eve.

I'm so sorry.

Look, I don't know
if I'm your father or not.

But if I am, the only thing I ask
is you accept this favor from me.

At least for all the nights
I wasn't with you.

Sound fine to you?

If that's the case,
you got off very easily.

I know.

This isn't a very safe neighborhood.
Shall we?

-Yeah. Come on. Come on. Let's go.
-Come on.

[Alejo] Let's go. I think it's best
if you stay at my place tonight.

[tense music playing]

[engine starting]

[tense music continues]

How are we doing over here?
Everything okay?

Great.

Hi, excuse me.

Would you mind calling your coworker,
Alice Fernández?

She's working on this flight.

I'm sorry.
No one by that name is on this flight.

Fasten your seat belt, please.

Fasten your seat belt, please.

[panting]

[exhales sharply]

Oh my God. Thank you.

Thank you. Oh my God.

-Are you gonna tell him, or should I?
-[gasps, sighs]

My son will know about this.

Know what?

Who is Alejo?
