[melancholy music playing]

JUST ALICE

EPISODE 18:
ONE PLUS ONE MAKES THREE

I swear, I didn't know
Alice worked with Beltrán. Honestly!

No. This isn't the time or the place
to talk about Alice. López, please.

Now, it's important
we support Pablo, no matter what.

No, Father, no. You can't expect us
to support someone who did this.

Alice completely ruined
your reputation in this neighborhood.

[phone ringing]

[woman] This is ridiculous.

-Just remain calm.
-Yes?

Hi, Mancilla.

I've got news about your brother.

What happened?

Take it easy.

You, uh, passed out,
and… you bled a little.

I've already spoken to the doctor.
He's coming to see you, Alice.

But… but he told me you need to lay down
and rest for a little bit.

Just let me know
if you need anything, but, uh…

[Alice sighs]

You need to try and relax.

Oh, no.

I can't relax after everything
you said to me last night.

I wanna get out of here.
I'm gonna call Susana now. Okay?

Alice, Alice. Wait, please.

I'm… I'm… I'm begging you.
Be careful, don't risk your…

[sighs] Risk what, huh?

Am I important?

Does the baby matter?

[melancholy music playing]

The truth is, I feel responsible.

I was awful to you.

I was so stressed out,
and I wanted to apologize.

What are you sorry for?

All the things you said about a test?

Mm, I'm not sure if this is
the right time to talk about this.

I'll be out there.
Let me know if you need anything.

[phone line ringing]

You've reached Susana.
Please leave me a message.

[beep]

Su, I need you.

Please, I need you to come get me.
Call me back.

[exhales]

[Pablo] Dad.

Good grief, my boy. [chuckles]

I thought I'd turn into
a piece of furniture

waiting for whatever this is.

[Pablo whistles]

No. No, please don't say
he escaped from the station.

-Ah, what are you saying? No.
-No escapees here, Dad.

-What happened?
-I've been exonerated.

-Thank God.
-[laughs happily]

I'm free, Dad.

Oh, look. Here.

No more of that stupid ankle monitor
or anything. I'm free.

Justice is served. Come here, son.
I'm so relieved. Oh, it's wonderful.

I gotta go get something. Be right back.

[cries happily] Oh, I'm so happy.

My son. Let's celebrate.

No, nothing left. Come on.
Let's go buy something from the store.

This is what…

-Hi there.
-Ah, no need, Dad.

Look. He's brought some nice wine. See?

Samuel.

You know that I want this man
away from here. Far, far away.

I told you this wasn't a good idea.
I'll be going.

No, no. You won't be going.

Benjamín stays, Dad.

If you decide to choose him,

you will never see me again.

Never. I swear on your mother's memory.

Um… I'll wait outside, yeah?

See you outside, okay?

Dad, that's not cool.

You can't tell me
what I'm allowed to do or feel.

I do whatever I want!
I'm not taking it! I'm not gonna take it!

And they will have to carry me out
in a body bag

long before I put up with this disrespect!

Then you also need
to show me some respect.

Because I love Benjamín,
whether you approve

or not.

[melancholy music playing]

Samuel.

If you have any dignity left,

leave here and never come back.

Hey, I can hear you guys all the way
from the courtyard. What's happening?

Nothing.

I've just lost a son.

Come on. He just got out of jail.
You're being unfair about--

Oh, no, no, no.
Don't start preaching to me!

You're not a priest anymore.

You're the last person
to be giving advice.

I mean, look at who you married.
She made a disaster of your life.

Um…

I, uh… I really think
it would probably be best

if we don't see each other
for… for a while.

What are you saying?

[melancholy music playing]

But you saw me in there.

I was clear with my old man.

I said what I wanted to say.

Yeah, but it shouldn't be like that.
I don't want you to lose him.

Listen to what I'm going to tell you.
Okay?

I will leave here like I already planned,
and I'm asking you,

please, do not

go to the airport.

Benji.

Don't leave me alone here.

[exhales]

[Benjamín] It's better this way.

[Pablo] What are you doing?

[Samuel sighs]

[Samuel] What Dad asked me to do.
I'm leaving.

-No. Don't be silly. Just sit.
-I don't wanna be an embarrassment.

Why would you leave?

Benji broke up with me.

[melancholy music playing]

[sobs]

He said he wouldn't stay with me

because it complicates
my relationship with Dad.

So I'm just completely lost,
and I wanna get the f*ck out of here.

-I don't know what to do, bro.
-No, no, no, no.

-You're not going anywhere.
-[crying]

That wouldn't help. Believe me.

How can you tell me that
when you're avoiding Alice, man?

That's exactly why I'm telling you.

'Cause it's not working.

But if you really

believe it will help,

to be someplace else,
for you to clear your mind, or…

for important decisions, do it.

Do it. I'll support you.

I think it's for the best. I do.

Thank you, brother.

-[beeping]
-[doorbell rings]

That must be your brother
here to give Alice an ultrasound.

Talk to you later.

Hi, Alejo.

Alice asked me to come here.

And she asked me to calm you down.

I don't need anyone to calm me down.
Is Laura coming too?

-No, but I'll call her if you want me to.
-No, thank you.

You know what? We almost
didn't make it because the entrance

is full of journalists.

Don't worry. I've spoken with my doorman,
and we'll handle it.

Where's Alice?

She just told me
she really wants some more sleep.

But where is she?

In my bedroom.

-Okay.
-Mm.

-[jaunty music playing]
-You can go ahead.

-You wanna dance?
-No, I'm sorry.

What happened to your collar?

[Alice] I don't wanna be here.

[Susana] Oh, Ali,
but it's for the best for now.

Downstairs is packed with journalists.

You know what they're saying about you?

That you infiltrated as a consultant
to wreck the campaign.

-Huh?
-Mm.

[sighs]

But, look, they're journalists.

Tomorrow is another news cycle,
so don't worry about it, okay?

You know,
I was calling you yesterday, repeatedly.

Why'd you turn your phone off?

Oh, Ali,
because I think about Rita constantly.

I can't stop, and I don't, you know,
wanna be sitting around,

hoping she'll call or text me.

So call her.

No, I don't wanna talk about it
or think about it now.

-So tell me how you're doing.
-I feel weird.

Because I kept thinking all night.

What if, because I've been
so scared… scared of losing Pablo,

and losing Alejo,
that I made myself lose our baby instead?

-[tense music playing]
-You think?

I don't know for sure,
but I really doubt it. No.

Get that type of stuff out of your head.

Alejo said some
really nasty things to you.

-Horrible.
-Mm-hmm.

Keeps asking about a test.

He's going insane.

Okay. I mean, I'm sorry,

but that seems to be
the only sensible thing to do. Yeah?

You know, the guy has a right to know
if the kid is his. Right?

Yeah, they both do.

-And I'm gonna do the test.
-Mm.

When the baby is born, and for the baby.

Not for Alejo and not for Pablo.

In fact, I'm… I don't wanna think about
Alejo or Pablo anymore.

Or anybody.

The baby is all
I'm gonna be thinking about.

And from what we've been able to find out,

Alice Fernández,
the woman everyone is talking about

after Beltrán's declarations,

is here in Alejo Valdés's apartment.

With only six months to go
before the presidential elections,

the political scene is getting tense
due to a sex scandal.

What the hell is Alice
doing in that apartment?

-[sighs]
-[phone ringing]

Hello, Su.

If Alice finds out I called you,
she will have me m*rder*d,

so please don't say anything.

Don't worry. I promise. What's up?

Alice had some bleeding.

She's fine, but she needs to rest.

We're at Alejo's apartment
and waiting for, uh,

the doctor to get here
and do an ultrasound.

On my way. Bye.

I have to go.

You got a minute?

Yeah, sure. Come in.

Okay. It's a simple thing,
so we can work in peace.

Mm-hmm.

Talk to me before you rehire someone
that I fired for a good reason, okay?

Laura, all I am trying to do here is
to enhance this hotel's image.

-That's it.
-Okay. Okay, then.

Take care of the hotel,
and the restaurant is not your problem.

-You're right. It's not my problem.
-Mm-hmm.

You know what the problem is?

The problem is me.

Okay.

[emotional music playing]

Lau, I miss you.

No, no.

I love you.

And Eva?

I also love her.

[exhales, chuckles]

No, no. I'm an idiot, Martín.

So you will celebrate your friend Alice
for this, but criticize me?

[tense music playing]

Your thoughts on Beltrán's accusations
against your wife?

I'm asking you to please leave me alone.
The police will be here any time now.

Did you know your wife, Alice,
was also with Guevara?

I have no idea what this is about,
so I won't be responding. No questions!

Now listen. I do not live here alone.
I have neighbors.

-Thank you.
-Just leave. Okay?

-We're live, please.
-We need just one answer, please, sir.

-Guevara, one question, please.
-Mr. Guevara.

Were you aware of Ms. Fernández's
relationship with Mr. Valdés?

-I have nothing to tell you.
-Any comment on your relationship?

-We're trying to get the facts.
-Will you set the record straight?

-Just answer one. Come on.
-[intriguing music playing]

-I need to see Alice.
-What are you doing?

-Why are you here?
-Wanna fight?

Hit me. Make a show for the media.
Let's go! Do it!

[music fades]

What are you doing here?

Susana called you?

Yes, she called and told me what happened.

I came right away.

I hope Alejo understands.

Well, he gave me five minutes.

How are you doing?

I don't know if everything's all right…
so I'm worried.

Let's wait for the doctor to get here,
to check, and we'll see then.

Mm. Pablo.

I truly didn't intend to hurt you,
I swear.

Don't blame yourself.

I'm not blaming you.

The important thing is your health
and the health of the baby.

-Sorry.
-[tense music playing]

The doctor's here
to do the ultrasound. Gastón.

-Thank you.
-Hello. May I come in?

-Alice, my dear.
-Hi, Gastón.

How are you feeling?

I'm okay. Just a little shaken up.

That's why we're here, okay?
One step at a time.

Gentlemen, I'm going to ask you
to step out.

It's just going to be us and Alice
for the ultrasound.

[Alejo] Okay.

-Let's go.
-Please go ahead and set up the machine.

Thank you.

[Gastón] To start,
I'm ordering you a genetics test.

For DNA?

No, it's to rule things out
and put everyone at ease.

It's nothing to worry about,
but someone will have to go with you.

Okay.

-Are you ready to begin?
-Okay.

This gel will feel cold.

[monitor beeping]

[Gastón] Okay, well,
good news is that the embryo is perfect.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

But why did I…

It's not uncommon
to see some implantation bleeding.

It's pretty normal
in the first couple of weeks,

but not something to worry about.

[baby's heart beating]

[chuckles]

Is that the heart?

[Gastón] That's the heart, beating strong.

[Alice] So it's okay?

-[Gastón] Yes, it's all good.
-[laughs]

-Wait.
-[heartbeats intensify]

[Alice] What?

It sounds like we're hearing an echo.

[Alice] An echo?

[Gastón] Or it's a second heartbeat.

[rock music playing]

[Gastón] Alice, my dear,

we have two placentas.

The good news is
that both embryos are perfect.

So,

there's two?

I'm having twins?

There are two.

It's twins.

That's right.

Twins.

[exhales]

[Gastón] Well, gentlemen, um…

Congratulations.

She's having twins.

Twins. [laughs]

Father of twins. Oh wow.

[Alejo] What?

You don't know if you're the father.

All you care about is if they're yours.

What I care about most

is that you're still in my house,
so it's time to leave.

-If you wanna pray, go back to church.
-Look, Valdés.

You may be successful and wealthy
with an incredible life, but still a d*ck.

-Yeah? Think you're staying?
-I'm not leaving. Yeah.

-I'm not gonna leave Alice.
-Okay. Perfect.

-[music fades]
-[distant siren wailing]

Cheers to Martín, who misses me.

[both chuckle]

[romantic music playing]

And who loves me.

-I do.
-[Laura chuckles]

And you?

You know, I don't think I'll answer that

because I was the one
who was cheated on and left all alone.

-Yes, that's true.
-Mm-hmm.

But what should I have done?
Left Eva by herself, pregnant?

It was a possibility.

I was also thinking m*rder
and then making it look like an accident.

[both laugh]

I mean, we could have kept the kid and--

You're fascinating.

You are too.

[Laura chuckles]

But Eva's always going to be
in the middle.

I can't imagine her there.

So what are we doing?

Up to you.

[lively pop music playing]

[Alejo] Alice is sleeping.

[thunder rumbling]

It's a good time to go.

Do you think I could wait
for the rain to stop?

Sure, okay. I'm hungry.
I don't know if you wanna eat.

Okay. Thank you.

I can't imagine Alice in this kitchen.

[chuckles] No. Alice doesn't cook.

Alice doesn't cook?

No.

Well, she does with me.

You probably can't imagine Alice
in my neighborhood either.

-No, I can't imagine it.
-Right.

Because your Alice is not my Alice.

No, that's obvious.

[cumbia music playing]

And I don't know your Alice.

Yeah, me neither.

Well, thank you.
I guess I'll just wait over in the hall.

What'd you guys cook?

We would mostly make lentils with my dad.
He liked them.

-[thunder rumbling]
-[coughs]

You sure you don't wanna eat?

May I put together a…

Sure.

She likes it like this.

Here, try it.

Hmm. What'd she drink with it?

Aguapanela.

You have it?

[chuckles] No.

[emotional pop music playing]

[exhales]

[Susana] Rita.

Susana.

Rita.

What are you doing here?

Oh, Rita.

-No.
-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me. I screwed up,
but it's not 'cause of you. Please listen.

No, Susana.

I know I was ignoring you.
I've been a professional ghoster.

But I swear, I promise you
that it won't happen again.

I wanna give you a family,
a plant, a mutt, a kitty cat, a cow.

-I'll do anything.
-Please stop. It's over.

My love, please, no. No, please.

I'm begging you, Rita.
I just can't bear this.

-No. It's too late.
-I swear I won't disappear again.

I'm not gonna lose myself again.

[woman] I'm late for band practice.
Shall we go?

Hello, I'm Vicky.

Susana.

Are you ready?

-[Vicky] Yeah, let's go.
-Okay.

[emotional pop music continues]

[sighs]

Do you know what I'm thinking, Father,
between this whiskey and that whiskey?

I mean, love is clearly not sustained
by the circus that you see around us.

[Pablo chuckles]

Mm, I feel the same way.

Here I was, thinking that…
that Alice was complete with me,

that everything was good, but…

Father, you've taught me
that love is much more simple.

No, I think you've sacrificed
a lot for Alice. I can see it.

[laughs]

Come on, is it a competition to see
which of us is worse off?

-I'm not competing with you.
-Oh, yeah?

No, no, no. I… [grunts]

[exhales]

I dunno. I dunno. This is…

I guess a lesson.

A lesson in learning,
maybe how we share love?

Oh, no. The real lesson for me is learning
why Alice wouldn't fall in love with you.

Come on. Be real.

-Look at how gorgeous you are.
-[laughs]

[laughing]

-Well, let's see.
-Huh?

In your real opinion,
what is it I have that you don't?

I already know that.

What you have that I don't

is that you are absolutely,
completely unconditional with her.

What? The whiskey's getting to you,
isn't it?

[both laughing]

I know tomorrow morning, I'll be thinking,
"My God. What an idiot."

[laughs] Me too.

In the morning, as soon as I can,
I'll take her back over to Susana's.

Okay.

[thunder rumbling]

Know what I think, Guevara?

That Alice is much more intelligent
and a lot more open-minded than us.

She fell in love with two men,
and she said, "No way I'm picking one."

Well, you can understand her. Right?

I don't see how she can possibly
let you go.

[laughing]

-I'm being hit on by a priest.
-[laughs] Ah, come on.

[both laughing]

You know, if you were
a little bit more chill,

I'd propose
the three of us move in together.

-[Pablo] Oh!
-[both laughing]

[Pablo] Hang on,
are you hitting on me now, or what?

[both laughing]

-Can you imagine?
-[Alejo] What?

[Pablo] She'd be happy.

Oh, she'd be more than happy. [laughs]

Hey, are you gonna top me off, or what?

Okay, okay, okay.

I'm starting to like you, Alejo.

-[Alejo laughs]
-[Pablo] Who would have thought?

Cheers.

Cheers to whatever the future is.

Hey.

Cheers.

[upbeat pop music playing]

-[music ends]
-All okay?

Yep. Yeah.

Pablo, I thought you were downstairs.

I was having a coffee
while I waited for you.

Will you tell me when you get to Susana's?

-Sure. Yeah.
-Okay.

-Thank you, Alejo.
-It's nothing.

-Thanks for everything.
-Shall we?

-You're welcome.
-Alejo.

[Alejo] Mm-hmm.

[door opens]

-How are you?
-[Alice] Good.

-Feeling okay? Better?
-Good.

-Yes. Yeah.
-Yeah?

[women] Holy Mary, Mother of God.

That's them. There they are. Look at them.

[chanting] Save your soul! Save your soul!

Father, you should never
have abandoned the priesthood…

Excuse me. Excuse me.

[Alice] Oh my God.

-[woman 1] Repent for your sins.
-[woman 2] Save your soul. Save your soul.

-[Alice] Did you know they were here?
-No, no. I didn't know. I had no idea.

Just ignore them, okay?

-Save your souls! Save your souls!
-Goodbye, bye now. God bless you. Goodbye.

Hey. Don't pay any attention
to what they were saying.

[scoffs]

They would prefer I burn in hell.

No, no. You don't deserve that.

I, um, couldn't afford much,
but it's… the thought, right?

Open it.

No, Pablo.

Go on.

[tender pop music playing]

Alice.

You know, I just need to try to…

to understand what happened, to, uh,

sort things out in my own head
and in my own heart.

All I ask is, please understand
that I need to take a step back.

You don't need to explain.

I understand.

[tender pop music continues]

Thank you.

Wow. I really can't believe
there are two of them in there.

-Typical Alice.
-[all laugh]

And what did the fathers say?

[Alice] Mm…

Well, Pablo has given
the most adorable little booties.

-Adorable.
-And Alejo is waiting for the DNA test,

but he'll wait forever
because I'm not doing it.

[Carolina] Hmm.

Ali, I'm thinking out loud.

Please don't be freaked out
about any of this, okay?

But you know,
what if you were to propose to them

like a modern version of polyamory,
open relationship sort of thing?

[scoffs]

No. They'd never accept that.

Oh, but I mean, come on.
Not very easy, is it, now?

It's that I've been trying to work out
how you can possibly love two men.

Well, each to their own, right?

It's an open relationship, isn't it?

No, because they didn't know
about each other when it started.

Yeah, Ali, but you saw
what happened that way, right?

And besides, you never know.
What if you're missing out?

I mean, hey, what if it's good?
Like, really good? Like, you know, uh…

You are pretty darn invested
in this modern, open relationship thing.

Right, Laura? Do tell us more.

Eh?

-[Susana] Come on.
-No.

Please, I'm just trying
to understand Alice, okay?

[Susana, Carolina] Hmm.

-And Martín.
-There it is.

Oh, I'm nothing like Martín.
Let's be super clear.

But he's a huge fan of yours.

-[Carolina] Wait.
-[Laura] What?

-Why are you talking about Martín?
-Uh, but I'm not so…

What about little Samuel?

Oh, poor Samuel.
What a gorgeous, silly kid.

I mean, nothing happened with Samuel.

-Nothing.
-Oh, you're back with Martín now.

-No!
-You got back together.

-It's not like that.
-That's why you weren't at the hotel.

-Laura!
-[Carolina] Just tell us the truth.

-Yeah, I knew it.
-Oh my God.

No, I swear. I honestly
have just been really busy,

and, you know, I couldn't go to Alejo's.

I did always check in though.

[women in distance] Our Father,
who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

-No.
-Mm. Yeah.

No.

-What is going on?
-These women keep hounding me.

I'm so sick of it.
They've been chasing me all day.

Who are they?

Some sad, old religious ladies.

They're convinced that if they pray,
they will save Alice from going to hell.

-No. I don't believe it.
-They chase her, praying for her soul.

No.

No, hey. Really and truly,

I'm tired of everybody having
an opinion about my life.

I'm sick of it.

-Ali, just ignore them.
-What are you doing?

[Susana] Alice, come on.
Don't start a fight.

[Alice] Hey, ladies!
Your prayers are pointless.

You can't chase away the devil
'cause he's already in my body!

[Susana, Laura scream]

[Laur] Oh my God! Are they looking?

-[Alice] Come on, get up here.
-[screaming]

-[Alice] Never call a crazy lady crazy.
-[Pablo] Dad.

Samuel is gone.

[music fades]

He left you this.

Read it.

No.

[Pablo] Hey, Dad.

You know, you're only hurting yourself
being like this.

Pablo, perhaps you should be thinking
about your own issues.

Yes. Yeah, I know.

Well, Alice almost lost the twins.

What?

There are twins?

-[Pablo] Mm.
-Hmm.

Poor little things,
having that for a mother.

Hey, please don't say that.
They don't have anything to do with it.

My son, I try not to judge,
but as far as I'm concerned,

Alice is like a stone in my throat,
and she's stuck here.

Anyway, I know that

you will raise and love them
as if they were your own.

Just like I did.

[melancholy music playing]

[Eliseo breathes deeply]

No, son.

I spoke to the archbishop
to find out about your case.

The exposure from the media
may work for you or against you.

We don't know.

I can tell there's something on your mind.

Let me guess.

Alice.

Yeah.

She's all I can think about.

And I didn't tell her
that I wanna take my vows again.

I saw her with that guy, Alejo,

and it's clear.

He loves her. I think it's best that

I just step away and leave them alone.

Wait, just "step away"?

I talked to Alejo, and he's good people.

Come on. What're you saying, Pablo?

Don't tell me
that you support polygamy now.

No. How can you think that?

-Obviously not. No, no, no.
-Obviously.

But I was able to talk to him
and relate and…

[Alejo] Pablo.

I'm sorry.
I was told I could find you here.

[Pablo] Yeah. No, no. Don't worry.

-What's up, Alejo?
-Hello.

Well, I'll let you two speak alone.
Please excuse me, gentlemen.

I just wanted to talk to you for a minute.

-Thank you.
-Absolutely. Sit down here.

This is… pretty much my office.

-No one will bother us here.
-Thank you so much.

Ah…

What is it?

[sighs]

I hope you don't take this badly. Uh…

Um, so right now,
I'm not in a good financial situation.

But please don't say anything
to Alice yet.

And I'm going to New York for a new job.

[tense music playing]

I imagine you'll tell her. Right?

I don't know. I wanna wait
until New York is for sure,

and then I guess I'll tell her.

-Will you come back, or…
-I don't know.

What makes you ask?

Well, because I'm actually planning on
taking my vows again.

Ah.

Ah, so you're planning to once again
just abandon Alice to become a priest.

-Mm.
-What?

-And what are you doing?
-About what?

Going to the United States,

leaving a pregnant woman
who could be the mother of your children.

Leaving her again?

[man] Good afternoon.

I'm very eager to start this interview
as soon as possible.

Oh, I had talked to Camila,
and she said she was interviewing me.

Orders from above.
I'll be doing the interview.

But don't worry, Alice.

I'll go easy on you,
considering your condition, right?

Take a seat.
Make yourself comfortable. Don't worry.

[Alice] Okay, thank you very much.

So you know, I have good informants.

And I've heard directly from Beltrán
about how betrayed he feels by you,

details and all.

Okay, but what did Alice
tell you in the message?

Well, the same thing she told you.

That we'll see her on the news,
I guess, and…

Does she wanna go public with our story?

I mean, I see where she's coming from.

We didn't wanna listen to her.

Go on. Play it.

-Should I just hold it or…
-No, no, no. Put it here.

Okay.

Good afternoon.
This is a special broadcast

from Castillo al Instante.

As we announced earlier today,

we have an exclusive interview
with Alice Fernández,

who finally decided to come speak with us

and share her side of the story.

Alice, welcome. Thank you for joining us.
Now to start…

Su, what's wrong?

No, nothing.

-Stop. Sh.
-Thank you for this invitation.

First of all, I wanna say
that I am not a criminal

who is here to say she's innocent.

Basically, I got tired of the whole world
having an opinion about my life

when no one knew the truth, so I thought,

"It's time to do this interview
so I can share the real story."

I'm sorry for interrupting you,
but is it right to judge others like this?

If they're talking about you,
it's because your story is now public.

And one doesn't meet
a bigamous woman every day.

What's more, you know that bigamy
is ill*gal in many countries.

Yes, sure.

Bigamy is certainly ill*gal
for both women and for men.

Here, the difference is that

when a man does it, he isn't judged
the same way as a woman.

You tell him, Ali.

Well, can you confirm or deny these rumors
we've heard about the Feminist Party

including you in their lists
for the next congressional elections?

Well, I would have to say,
"I'm so flattered. Thank you."

But honestly, I'm just not interested

in playing politics
while going through so much personally.

-Good.
-Oh, I would do it.

Many have said that your ability
to infiltrate as Beltrán's advisor

to tip the balance towards Mancilla,

a candidate who, let's not forget,
is also supported by Guevara,

was a masterful move.

Would you say your relationship
with Guevara was a lie?

Well, you know
absolutely nothing about my life.

In fact, no one knows about anything.

So it seems like a very sensitive question
and in really lousy taste coming from you.

Yeah, apologize to her.

Should people applaud you for this?

No, no. Not at all.
I'm not expecting applause.

I just wanna be brave enough
to live my life my way. That's all.

Do you feel proud, Alice,
to be married to two men?

This isn't an apology for bigamy.

But many women see you as an example.

Oh, no. No. I'm clearly not an example
for anyone at all,

but I've never regretted
living my life the way I believed in

and doing the things I wanted to do.

That's right.

However, if there was one thing
I wouldn't do again,

it would be not talking
to my two husbands sooner

and not telling them the truth.

You're pregnant, Alice,

and I certainly wouldn't wanna be
in your husbands' shoes.

Well, I don't want anyone
putting themselves in a position

that's not theirs.

So then, what about your husbands?

Which one will you decide to stay with?
Do you know?

I love Alejo so deeply.

I love Pablo too.

The truth is, I love them both.

-So, will you stay with both of them?
-I'm going to stay with me.

Alone?

No, with my children.

They will be my priority.

To close this interview,
I would like to say

that I did not come here
to justify myself,

much less to be understood,

because I know it's difficult
to understand.

But I hope you think about one thing.

We all have become accustomed

to looking at others
the way that society tells us to.

I feel that sometimes we are too quick
to judge the lives of others.

What do I want?

That you all can find
your own way of looking at things,

your own way of living
and being completely free

to love the way you'd like
without judgment.

That was my way.

The one I chose.



[doctor] So you came by yourself,
I see, to get the test results?

Yes, by myself.

You didn't wanna take a DNA test,

but you should know this will confirm
the paternity of your children.

[tense music playing]

No, I don't understand. What is this?
