01x11 - The Decision

[bunniefuu]

[lively acoustic guitar music playing]

[Alice] I don't know what happened.

SEVEN YEARS AGO…

[Susana] Ali, are you sure
you wanna do this?

I was being careful.

No smoking, please.

I know. I wasn't gonna.

-Which one of you is Alice?
-She is.

-Come with me.
-Come on.

[woman] Sorry, just her.

Oh, but she's all alone.
She doesn't have anybody else.

-I mean, she's only got me.
-Just her.

Wait, hang on.

I don't believe much in this,
but my mom gave it to me.

I'm right here.

-Shout if you need anything. I'll be here.
-Mm-hmm.

Okay.

JUST ALICE

EPISODE 11
THE DECISION

[doctor] This is a recent pregnancy.

You need to make an appointment
with your OBGYN very soon. All right?

-Mm-hmm.
-Excuse me.

Thanks, Doc.

You're pregnant! Alice, you're pregnant!

-We're leaving. Let's get to the hotel.
-I'm sorry.

Didn't you hear the doctor just now?
He said you're pregnant.

Do you understand how bad this is?

If Pablo and Alejo
end up talking to each other,

do you know what'll happen?

Okay. Okay, true. You know what?

I wanna witness
the second those two get together,

and you give them the news
that we just got.

I'm getting a chair.

Okay, fine. I'm staying here. Fine.

-Hey, good job, man.
-What do you mean?

Oh. Oh, I mean the foundation.

The, uh, the social work that you're doing

and everything you do for those people.

You're a good guy. It's good work. It is.

Well, I mean, it's my duty.

Well, listen, if I may,
I'd love to help you with, uh,

you know, making a donation. I'm a writer.

If there's anything
you think I can help with,

then please say the word.
I'm at your disposal. Okay?

-You know what?
-What?

I think that maybe

you could inspire
the younger kids at the foundation

and share what you do for work.
Offer them some guidance.

-It'd be great.
-You can count on me.

-Definitely interested.
-I love it.

-Uh, I'm sorry.
-Sure. Sure.

[phone ringing]

-Hello?
-[Alice] Hi, baby.

How are you? Where are you?

Fine, just out and about.
Running a bit late.

-Are you at the house already?
-Mm, no, babe. No.

I was about to leave, but Susana called
to tell me she's really sick.

Her blood pressure's high,
so I had to come help her.

We're waiting for a doctor to see her.

Babe, did you talk to your dad?

No, wh… Does that really matter right now?

Well, no.

Mm, coming! Be right…

Susana is crying 'cause
her headache's so bad. Call you back?

Wait, how about I just come and get you?

No, no, no, no, baby.
You don't have to do that. It's all good.

-Call you in a bit.
-Okay. Okay. Let's talk later at home.

Bye.

-My boss lady.
-[both laugh]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Like I was saying, I'm a writer,

so I'm always invested
in people's stories.

I'd be interested in knowing
how a priest leaves the church.

-Okay.
-Uh-huh.

It was an act of, um, honesty.

Okay.

-[phone ringing]
-Ah!

[whispers] Eliseo.

Just be grateful and polite.
Okay? Come on.

Sh, sh, sh, sh.

Hi, Eliseo.

Hello, Alice.

Listen, as you already know,

I am a man of faith.

I just left church, and during the sermon,

the priest said some beautiful words.

They made me reflect a little.

Only God may judge our actions.

So then, I have no right
putting pressure on you

to speak to my son about your past.

If you act in bad faith,
he is who will judge you.

Now, that being said,

I've decided
I will say absolutely nothing.

But I beg that you,
as a good Christian woman,

put your hand on your heart
and, in good conscience,

do what you must do.

You're either a very good person,

or our Lord Jesus Christ loves you so much

'cause what just happened
is practically a miracle. Okay?

-A miracle that left me feeling horrible.
-Well…

Susana. Susana. Susana.

What?

If I already felt bad about not being able
to tell Pablo and Alejo the whole truth,

to both of them, that I'm a bigamist…

-Yeah, you are a bigamist.
-Yes.

Yes. Yeah.

Then imagine now
that I have to tell them I'm pregnant.

And to make matters worse,
I don't know who the dad is.

[Susana scoffs]

[sighs]

Are you allowed to leave
the foundation now?

Not really. I took off
the ankle bracelet to come here.

So you took it off to come and see me?

Well, I came here to… to apologize.

You're risking your freedom
to come and apologize to me?

[muffled music playing in background]

Benji,

don't go.

Then how about you answer my question.

Why do you want me to stay here?

[tender music playing]

To help me understand what it is
that I'm feeling for you here, man.

That's why.

And what are you feeling for me?

[door opens]

Right. See you later.

I invite you to stop by
and check out the foundation.

And my wife's gonna be there.
You can meet her.

Sure. Sure.

She's sort of become

a bit of a force
in the heart of the foundation.

Okay. Okay. Well, how about this?

Let's celebrate
the New Year's festivities,

and then I'd be happy
to stop by and check it out.

-Fine. Fine. Sure.
-Great.

-Alejo…
-A pleasure.

Alejo…

-Valdés.
-Valdés. Valdés.

-Yeah. Pleasure.
-Likewise. Great to meet you.

What's up? How'd it go? Did you apologize?

In my own way, but yeah.

Uh, I kept calling you.
Why didn't you pick up the phone?

You two know each other?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.
He's, uh, the son of a great friend.

What a small world, huh?

Well, Ben.

-Pablo.
-Alejo, brother.

-A pleasure.
-Pleasure. See you, bro.

-[Pablo] What's up? Leaving without me?
-[Samuel] All right. Chill. Relax.

He the guy that hit you on Christmas?

[sighs]

I've gotta leave.

"The son of a great friend."

Come on.
What was I supposed to say instead? Huh?

-[Benjamín] See you at the lab.
-Ben.

Then we'll know what we are.

[Susana] But I don't understand. I mean,
there are 31 days in October. Right?

You missed two pills.

Alice, no more popsicles.

It was fine when we were nine years old,
but at this age,

all that sugar might hurt you, girl.

Yeah, but it's helping with the nausea.

You know what'll help with the nausea?
Telling the truth.

NEW VOICE MESSAGE

[Pablo] Ali, tell me what time
you'll be back so I can cook the pasta.

The sauce is ready.
Just call me when you can.

What

do I say?

Tell him that since
you're kind of pregnant,

that won't sit too well with your stomach.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

-I gotta talk to Pablo.
-Mm-hmm.

-And I gotta talk to Alejo.
-Yes.

But I don't know where to begin.

-From the beginning, Alice.
-See, that's the thing.

I… I'm so far gone
that I can't even remember where it began.

Cartagena. Cartagena is where it began.

[sobs]

Okay, j… just eat your popsicle.
Eat your popsicle.

All right. Let's see. Let's see.

No. [sniffles]

I have to finish this.

[sighs]

Once and for all.

[typing]

[romantic pop music playing]

"How it all began."

Pablo, my love,
I'll head home in five minutes.

NEW VOICE MESSAGE

[Alejo] Ali, your present is incredible.

I know we agreed to look at it together,

but I just couldn't wait.

I mean, we've experienced
so many beautiful things

these last few years that, I don't know,

I don't want anything to ruin it.

If you end up not working late,
why don't you come to the apartment?

I'd love to see you,
and you could stay over

and come with me tomorrow
when I give my talk at the university.

-[sighs]
-[music fades]

Alice, if you go, it's because
you wanna tell him the truth.

Do you think Alejo would tell me
if he were in my shoes?

Well, I think the first thing he'd do
is look for a journalist

because he'd get a lot of attention
as a pregnant man.

Do you think he would tell me if he were
in a position like Martín, for example,

who's about to be a dad?

I dunno, but I would flat out tell him
you don't know if he's the father.

No. I'm gonna lose him, Su.

Yeah, maybe, Alice.

But you get yourself back.
Just think about it.

Right now,
you have one baby and two fathers.

[breathes deeply]

[romantic pop music playing]

Hey, Ale.

Baby, I'm working late tonight,

so it's best if we see each other tomorrow

and we have a talk.

Okay? I love you.

Pablo, my love,
I won't be able to come home.

Susana won't stop puking.

She's not doing well.

I don't wanna leave her like this.

I, uh, I'll call you early tomorrow

so we can meet up.

I'm sorry, baby. I love you.

What you're doing is a sin.
You know, words actually have power.

You practically k*lled me, Alice.

Like, at least say you're sorry.

[phone chimes]

NEW VOICE MESSAGE

[Pablo] No, don't worry about it.

Send kisses to Susana.

Hope she gets well soon.

I'll see you tomorrow. I love you.

[phone chimes]

No. No. It's fine. It's fine.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I love you.

[romantic pop music continues]

[music fades]

"As if you could pick in love," right?

"As if it were not a lightning bolt
that splits your bones

and leaves you staked out
in the middle of the courtyard."

These are the words
of the great Julio Cortázar,

and I fully agree with him
that it's a feeling that feeds us artists.

[emotional music playing]

From then on, we begin to relax the pen
and finally begin to write.

So, everyone,

thank you.

It brings me so much joy
to see so many young faces here,

paying attention to what
I was very excited to share with you.

Again, thanks, and have a beautiful day.

[sighs] Thanks.

GO f*ck YOURSELF

[music fades]

No.

[typing]

[automated voice] Your call
has been forwarded to voicemail.

The person…

Rita,

I know you have every right
to tell me to go f*ck myself.

I can't believe I left you waiting
on the terrace, seriously.

Um, but if you let me explain,
everything will make sense.

So please answer the phone
and let me explain.

Please, Rita, I beg you. I beg you.
Please answer me.

[intriguing music playing]

[phone line ringing]

Oh no. f*ck.

[phone ringing]

Hey, sup, brother?

Did you call me?

Yeah. Yeah.
I just accidentally dialed, and…

and, well, because we couldn't, uh,

really finish our talk yesterday, I, uh…

-So are you going to the US?
-I dunno.

If you tell me why you don't want me
to leave, then who knows?

I might decide.

[smooth jazz music playing]

Do you wanna know
how I realized I like guys?

Okay, so I had a best friend
in high school,

and one day, he tells me about some girl
he had started hooking up with,

and I swear I just completely
lost my sh*t. Like bad.

It k*lled me to think that with him
being in a relationship,

we were going to spend less time together.

And it took me too long to realize

that what I was sad about

was not that he was into some girl.

What hurt was that he wasn't into me.

Why are you telling me this, man?

Well, because I would have loved
to have someone help me realize

what was happening.

It would've saved me a lot of time.

Hey, uh, you never actually told me

who the man that was with you
last night was.

I'll find out in an hour.

-I have to go. Talk later.
-[Pablo] What's up?

Were you talking to Benjamín?

Mm-hmm.

Everything okay now?

You guys fixed your problems?

Uh, yeah. I already told you, bro.

Listen, you're my brother.

I don't know what's up with you,
but you can count on me.

I'm fine. All right?

[Pablo laughs]

-Well, I'm here. Okay, buddy?
-[Ernesto] Pablo!

You've got an… an e… eviction notice.

[tense music playing]

[tense music continues]

-Hello.
-[Alice] Hi.

I didn't know you were coming.

I was in a hurry. Cutting it kinda close.

I wanted to get here earlier,
but, honestly, I couldn't.

I really loved
what you said about Cortázar

and not being allowed to choose in love.

"As if it were not a lightning bolt

that splits your bones

and leaves you staked out
in the middle of the courtyard."

That one?

Sorry, is everything okay?

No.

I'm not okay.

Baby, I'm sorry.
Did something happen? Hey.

Um,

I gotta tell you something.

For months now,

I have been married to another man.

[chuckles]

You joking or…

No. I'm serious.

[tense music intensifies]

[sobs]

You f*cking b*tch!

-You f*cking b*tch!
-No!

Alejo! Wait.

-Please talk to me.
-Stop talking.

-I want… I can explain. Okay?
-No.

-Please, let me--
-No. Stop touching me!

Don't touch me!

Ali, I'm sorry. What's the matter?

-Something wrong?
-Oh, yeah.

Mm.

Coming here…

made me

feel nostalgic.

Oh. [laughs]

Well, I felt the same way.
I felt the same way when I came in, 'cause

this is exactly where
I… I invited you to Vegas, and…

Mm.

…we got married.

[Alice chuckles]

[romantic pop music playing]

I'M HEADED TO THE LAB. SEE YOU SOON.

Oh, uh…

Sorry, my editor's been trying
to reach me. I've got a meeting.

So, I don't know, maybe we could meet up
in the afternoon? Have dinner?

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

For sure. Sure.

Yeah. Yeah.

I love you, Alice.

[romantic pop music continues]

I love you.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Goddammit.

[music fades]

[pop music playing on speakers]

[Susana] Will you forgive me?

What are you doing here?

Well, I need to explain to you
what happened yesterday…

Well, I need you to leave.

-No.
-Yes.

No, just wait.

Look, you love telling me
that I always run away,

that I'm always wanting to escape,
so I'm here now,

facing you with a smiley face.

You're ridiculous. Get out of the way.

Honey.

-[Rita] Just stop. Please, get out.
-No.

-No, honey. Wait, please.
-Get out.

You know what, Susana?

I really thought you had changed,
but I was wrong.

-No.
-Yeah.

You disappeared
without a single explanation.

Left me there waiting for you
like a moron.

Look, I know I messed up.

-No, Susana.
-All right? I know, but I…

There's an explanation. I mean it.
This was different, Rita, because you--

No. No. I swear,
it's always the same with you.

-No, no, no.
-Always is and will be, Su.

No. No. This is different, seriously.

-I love you.
-Don't say that.

-Yes, honey, please.
-No.

You only love me when it's convenient.

No, I love you always. I swear to you.

-You know what? Let's leave things here.
-No.

Yeah, let's not force something
that we both know is not gonna work.

I want to…

I wanna know what it's like
to live with someone.

I wanna build a real relationship
and, I don't know,

I want a house, maybe even a kid.

I don't know, a dog, maybe plants.
I want it all.

And you, evidently, want different things.

No. No. I want the plants,
and, uh, not the kid, but I do want a dog.

A dog and a cat.

-We'll name them whatever you want to.
-f*ck off.

-A cat and dog. Please. Please.
-Please.

-Rita, please. Come on.
-I told you, you can go f*ck yourself.

Okay. I understand.

[emotional pop music playing]

[sobs]

-[music fades]
-[crowd clamoring]

[Juan] They won't take it.

Settle down! I said settle down!

-Guys, settle down!
-Listen.

-Guys, settle down!
-Calm down, please. Calm down.

[Samuel] When has my brother Pablo
ever let you down?

Do me a favor and listen.

Go ahead, Pablo.

[megaphone feedback]

Neighbors,

I know what everybody's going through
and how you are all feeling.

But believe me, this is exactly
what this politician wants.

He wants to incite violence,

but our town's a place of peace here
in Santa Trinidad.

I implore you to stay calm and collected

so that we can find
a solution to this problem.

But Pablo, if they take my house,
I'd rather die.

We will not have it! I can't stay calm
if this is about to happen!

[Pablo] Listen. Listen. I know. I know.

I would also wanna die if they took
my house away from me. I get it.

But believe me, I will defend your houses
as if they were my own.

Just as I've always done.

I will not let any of you down. Trust me.

What's wrong?

Confirmed.
Beltrán notified the authorities.

The lady from the city department told me.

-Is this true? You sure?
-Is he not tired of screwing us?

Yeah, but keep it to yourself,
or they will burn him alive.

Well, I'll give them the matches.

-Pops, why don't you go home?
-I'm not going anywhere.

Okay. Okay.
Let's not get worked up over this.

Why don't you ask Alice to speak
to Beltrán and put an end to this?

Alice doesn't know Beltrán.

Yes, she does.

-[tense music playing]
-They're on a first-name basis.

What do you mean?

I saw them speaking
the day of the inauguration.

Alice told me that they met because

she wanted to talk to him,

to beg him to cancel the metro project.

-I asked her not to do that.
-[Juan] Well, she did.

Why didn't she say anything?

She never says anything.

Pops, for the love of God, go home.
Take him home, please.

-No. I am not leaving.
-What are you doing here?

Are you sure about this?

Yes.

Do you still feel nauseous?

Mm-mm.

Give me that.

[sniffles] I need it way more than you do.

-Mm…
-[sobs]

Aw, Su.

Thanks for coming.

Mm.

Because I figured
you might say you were at work,

or that you were with husband one
or husband two, and couldn't make it.

Oh, come on.

You rescue me constantly,
and I will be here for you always.

-It was about time.
-Mm. Mm.

[phone ringing]

INCOMING CALL

Husband two.

Sh.

Hello, my love.

I need you to come to the foundation.
We need to speak now.

-Something wrong?
-Can you come or not?

I'm a little busy doing things,

but if you ask me like that, sure.

I'll be right there.

Okay.

Please k*ll me now.

No, Alice.

Don't try and take this from me.

-It's my turn to feel miserable.
-No, wait. Wait. Wait a minute.

Pablo is acting weird.
He was cold and almost short with me.

He's never spoken to me that way.
He told me he wants to see me and to talk.

-So then it's serious.
-This has Eliseo written all over.

-You think?
-I just know it. sh*t.

Then I'll come with you.

No, no, no, no, no.
You stay here. You're not well.

No. I'll go with you because…

because I don't wanna spend
another minute alone thinking about Rita.

-Okay?
-Sh. Sh.

Hello. No, I'm tied up and won't be able
to stop by the editing room.

So, why don't you guys sort it out,
and I'll approve the final draft?

Wait, you're also working?

It's way too much.

Come on.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, what?

Yeah.

The guy that was at the hotel yesterday

is the one who almost broke my nose.

His name's Samuel. He's Pablo's brother.

And you got in a fight?

No. No.

I, uh,

kissed him 'cause I thought
we were vibing, and things were fine.

-Mm.
-But clearly, I was wrong.

-Does it bother you that I like men?
-No. No. No.

Doesn't bother me. No.

As long as you're happy, who cares?

[woman] Gentlemen, your results.

[intriguing music playing]

Valdés?

Yeah. Excuse me.

[woman] Laprida.

[Alice] Forgive me.

I wasn't sure how to tell you.

[intriguing music continues]

Why would you lie to me, Ali?

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

I mean, that's why I begged Eliseo
to let me tell you.

That I would tell you the truth. Not him.

-I was--
-But Eliseo didn't tell me anything.

It was Father Juan.

Said he saw you speaking, the two of you.

Wha… Where?

That you were talking to each other

and it felt like
you've known each other for a long time.

Why were you talking to Beltrán?

We had agreed you wouldn't do it.
I thought I had been very clear.

You're talking about Beltrán?

Well, yeah. Who else?

Um,

no one.

Why did you mention my father?

'Cause

something…

-Uh-huh.
-I talked to him about… your dad…

[uneasy music playing]

It's, uh,

about my past.

Okay. Tell me what?

Do you remember how I reacted
when you… right after you proposed to me?

[chuckles]

You think I'd ever forget?

It was here. You ran off.

Yeah, and I never explained why.

It's because I…

[tense percussive music playing]

I've been married
to another man for years.

I tried to tell you, but I couldn't.

I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.

I'm crazy about you. I can't imagine
my life without you, Pablo.

I love you. Forgive me, Pablo.
Please say something.

[music subsides]

You what? You what, Alice? What is it?

Okay, I'll tell you.

A few years ago,

way before we crossed paths again,

I was married to another man.

[uneasy music playing]

A long time ago.

Why would you wait this long
to say anything?

Well, babe, I mean,
it just happened a long, long time ago.

And I don't like talking about it.

I hate talking about it
because it really hurt me.

I was devastated.

He broke my heart
and left me in a bad place.

I don't wanna get into it. It's the worst.

That person doesn't matter to me anymore.

I suffered.

-You suffered?
-A lot.

Sure. Sure.

So what about me? Do I not exist?

You're telling me all of this now, Alice?

-But…
-What do you want?

Want me to hug you, to understand you,
to give you advice?

What do you want? What do you want?

-It's not gonna be like this, Alice.
-Pablo, don't talk to me like that. Wait.

Wait. Pablo.

You were the one who told me
we should start from scratch, Pablo.

Alice, I was talking about us,
what happened after Cartagena,

not about keeping things from me.

Okay, you're totally right.
Please forgive me, Pablo. Come on.

Why are you telling me now?

Why now?

Because Eliseo found out,
and he told me to tell you,

because, if I didn't, he would.

If my dad hadn't found out,
you'd just keep lying?

-No.
-What's wrong with you, Alice?

First, you meet with Beltrán,
even though I asked you not to.

Now you tell me you've been married
before, and I don't know who he is.

What other things
have you been lying about? Huh?

Nothing.

I do need to tell you something though.

-What?
-Bro, the reporters are here.

Gimme a sec. Gimme a sec.

Go on, tell me. What is it?

That I love you, Pablo.
I love you so much.

At this point, I don't know what to think.
You haven't been honest.

-I don't know if I believe you.
-Don't talk to me like that.

Bro.

Why are there reporters? What happened?

Pablo is gonna tell everybody

that that backstabber Beltrán
wants to evict us from the neighborhood.

[pensive music playing]

[exhales]

[music fades]

[Benjamín] Okay, uh…

[Alejo] What?

Should we open these
and just get it over with?

What do you think?

Yeah. Yeah. Let's open it.

Ready?

PROBABILITY OF PATERNITY: 99.998236%

[emotional music playing]

You're my father.

Aren't you gonna say anything?

These premises were given to us
by the previous mayor.

He promised me and gave me his word

that the future owners of these lands,
of these houses,

would be the people of this neighborhood.

So it seems strange to me that now
the new mayor has gone ahead

and shelved the whole process

that we have spent
years and years fighting for.

So what you're insinuating is that
there is an agreement between Beltrán

and the current mayor?

Miss, I don't know. I don't wanna
throw out accusations. I'm not like that.

But I do believe it's strange

that Beltrán is the only one
accusing us of mishandling this.

We reached out to Beltrán's team,
and they assured us

they were simply complying
with their civic duty

by informing the public
of any and all irregularities.

Sir, let's be reasonable for a second.

It's obvious that Beltrán
wants to run the metro

through the middle of the neighborhood.

So, then, what's the next move
for all of you?

Will you be taking any legal action?

I'm gonna fight.

I will give my life for these people,
the people of Santa Trinidad.

You all deserve a home. It's your right.

We have been fighting
to protect our homes our entire lives.

Fighting for a roof over our heads.

Beltrán, you will not get away with this.

I promise you. You will not.

m*therf*cking Luis. f*cking Beltrán.
They're not picking up.

I hate them. I hate them. I hate them.

-Stop drinking, Susana. No more. No more.
-Hmm?

Listen, Alice.
I'm the one who's drinking beer, not you.

-No!
-What's the problem? Huh?

If Pablo sees, he won't believe
that you were sick yesterday.

-Please help me out here.
-And that's what you get for lying.

I should be out helping Pablo,
and look at me. Can't even do that.

Seriously, I don't understand you.

Can't you see that if I go out there,

the reporters will see me,
and I'll end up on the news? I'm screwed.

It's crazy to me
how you had the opportunity

to tell him the whole truth,
and you still didn't.

I wasn't able to.
I'm stuck. Don't you get it?

Look, you know what?

I'm gonna pour this into a mug
or something to help you calm down.

Hey, Ben.

Are you okay?



Well, I mean, great.
It's what you wanted. No?

Wasn't the dad I wanted.

He ran off when he saw the results.
Left me there. Didn't even say anything.

[Alice sighs]

I'm sorry, hon.

He's missing out.

Benji?

Uh, is this what you needed
to give to Pablo?

-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

I'll take care of it.

What's the matter?

Can I get a hug?

[melancholy music playing]

[Simón] Why did you run off?

[music fades]

Because we got the results back,
and I didn't know what to do.

It said "father,"
and, well, I, uh… I completely panicked.

I understand.

Ale, I'm gonna say this
with all the love and care in the world.

You're being an as*h*le.

A 50-year-old as*h*le.

-Go talk to your kid, man.
-Oh, yeah? And what do I say to him?

Or what do I say to Alice?

"Hey, Alice, surprise.
I have a son, and he's 21."

I had a dinner with Alice,

and I had to cancel

because I didn't have the ba*ls
to face her.

She'll understand.

-Wouldn't you forgive her?
-She would never do such a thing.

Hypothetically speaking though.

Hypothetically speaking,
she wouldn't do this.

We're going to get organized
in a peaceful way.

Nobody moves from here.

No, no, no, no. Marcelo's not picking up.

-Su, what do I do? What do I do?
-Enough. Just stop. Hang up. Calm down.

That's not the most important thing
you need to deal with.

I can't even breathe right now.
I swear I'm gonna die, Su.

I won't go through
with this pregnancy, Su. I can't.

Whoa. Settle down.

You really need to think this through.

However, whatever you decide,

don't forget that the most important thing
is telling the truth.

Alice, you can't keep
making this lie bigger.

No way. No way.

I'm just completely out of lies.
I don't know.

-It's okay. It's okay. Let's go.
-I can't.

-What am I doing?
-Let's get out of here.

-Come on. Let's go.
-I don't know.

[Alice] Wait, wait, wait.

[distant siren wailing]

[exhales]

I JUST WANTED

[melancholy music playing]

Hello, Ben.

Look, please pick up.

I went looking for you at the hostel.

They told me you left, and…

Anyway, I'm sorry I ran off.

I just want to explain.
So just… call me when you can.

[sighs]

-Why won't you talk to him?
-For what?

See him eye to eye.

No. I already know what I wanted to know.

I don't need anything from him.
I don't want his money, his name.

I don't want anything.

You're gonna let him off that easy?

The man disappears for 21 years,
and then what? Huh?

Well, he… he didn't know
that… that I was his son.

You believe that?

[music fades]

That dude doesn't deserve you.

So what do you think you're gonna do now?

I dunno.

I don't wanna go to the hostel
because he'll look for me,

and I don't wanna see him.

Just sleep here tonight.

[intriguing music playing]

You can sleep in my bed.

Here?

But wh… what are you gonna do?
You're gonna sleep on the floor?

[exhales]

It's not a big deal, man.

No, don't worry. Don't worry.
I'll take the floor.

All right. Go for it.

[soothing acoustic guitar music playing]

Thanks.

-You comfortable?
-Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

As if, dude.

-What?
-[tuts] Be honest.

Fine, okay.
My back is gonna get messed up. Yeah.

Come here.

Seriously, it's fine. Come on.

[music fades]

Are you going to work?

No.

Why are you packing a bag?

Well, I suppose that after everything
we talked about,

the last thing you want
is to sleep next to me, and I get it.

I won't judge you. I swear.

I wanna give you your time and space.
I know you need it.

[emotional music playing]

Alice, I don't want you to go.

I was incredibly hurt by what you said.

But in the end, who am I to judge you?

I would never do that.

-You're smoking again?
-No.

Are you sure you wanna
go through this again, Ali?

You okay?

Yeah.

I need a little air.

-Can you wait in case they call for me?
-Yeah.

I'll be by the door.

[music fades]

Sorry. You can't smoke in here, ma'am.

I know. I wasn't gonna light it.

-Are you Alice Fernández?
-No. Do you want me to get her?

-Please.
-Sure.

[intriguing music playing]

Oh, Alice.

Where did you go?
