[rhythmical music]

[man] Sir, your suitcase.

["El micrófono"
by Instituto Mexicano del Sonido playing]

[cellphone rings]

Hello?

[woman] Gallo,
I need you to pick Benito up.

Can he spend the night at your place?

Please, I have a very important dinner.

The nanny is sick
and my mom is out of town.

[groans]

Who's this?

Gallo, this is Alicia.

Don't say no, okay?
You haven't seen him in three months.

Can you be a dad tonight?

Gallo?

-Uh--
-Hello?

Okay. Okay.

[rhythmical music]

Can you pick me up?

What? Where are you?

At the airport.

What? Why do you want me to pick you up?

Because I can't drive, Alicia.

Why can't you?

-I had some clonazepam for--
-[Alicia grunts]

I used too many drops.

[Alicia] No, Gallo, for real?
It's always the same with you.

My reflexes aren't the best now.

[Alicia]
Call someone from your team to help you!

I'm not coming to pick you up.

Forget it! I'm not coming.

["El micrófono" continue]

You know that stuff
thins your cerebral cortex, right?

[Gallo] Oh, come on. I couldn't sleep.

[music fades out]

So, why did you go to Miami?

Huh?

To Miami, why did you go?

Oh! To a TV trade show
and to pitch a project.

-What?
-To pitch a project.

-Wow.
-What?

Nothing. How was it?

Terrible.

You're picking Benny up, right?

-[Gallo] Yes.
-At five?

[Gallo] Yes… at five?

What do you mean at five?
Isn't that too late for school?

At his therapy, Gallo.
He has therapy. It's Tuesday.

Oh, I know! [mutters]

What? I'm also his parent.

I'm glad you know,
because you're paying for it.

I'll text you the address.

[mutters] Great.

Hey, now that he's staying with you,

could you try
and spend more time with him?

He said the last time he stayed over,

you were meant to help
with his homework, but you fell--

-[snores]
-[playful music]

-Gallo!
-What's up?

[playful music continues]

[woman] My neighbor stole my dog
and turned him into tacos.

[Gallo] Carmen's already done that.

-My son skips class for trap corridos.
-[Gallo] Good morning.

Morning.

[assistant] Morning.

-[Gallo] Laura did something similar.
-[assistant] Really? Here's another one.

A woman filed a restraining order
against her husband

because of his bad breath. Good morning.

-[man] Morning.
-Lacks drama.

-Drama?
-[Gallo] Yes.

Oh, well, if you want drama,
we need a… a mother.

A mother.
A mother belonging to the Opus Dei.

She belongs to the Opus Dei.

She's sick. She's in a coma,
and when she wakes up,

her daughter is now her son.

-Good, great.
-[assistant] Really?

Yes. Save it for Easter.

-Okay. Right.
-[Gallo] Okay.

The actors for today are ready.

Do you need anything else for the show?

-[Gallo] Uh, sorry?
-Today's show, Gallo.

The butcher's one. Need anything?

Oh, yeah! Have the man's son
wear a T-shirt with a piglet face on it,

something cute.

Make it read: "Friends, Not Food."

Okay, a T-shirt with a piglet face.
"Friends, Not Food." Perfect.

[mutters] See you later.

[rhythmical music]

-Hi, Gaby.
-[snickers] Good morning, Gallo.

[woman] Your host, Ana Patricia del Moral.

[Gallo] Zoom out, camera three.

THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD

[Gallo] Zoom out a bit.

This afternoon we have a meaty topic.

[Gallo] Camera two, follow Paty.

Eligio is a fourth-generation butcher.

[Paty] One day, at his shop,

Eligio discovered

all his products had been covered
in green paint by a group of activists.

[Gallo] Pan from dad to son.

[operator] Zooming in.

[Paty] Among them,
staring straight into his eyes

-was José María.
-[Gallo] Zoom in on Paty.

-His own son.
-[operator laughs]

-[operator] Nice reaction.
-[Paty] Let's give the family

-a chance…
-No audience this time.

…because to understand someone is…

[audience] …The best thing in the world!

[show's theme music fades out]

-Follow him!
-[operator] Right.

[cellphone vibrates]

[Paty] Please, Mr. Eligio, tell me,

-when did this issue begin?
-[cellphone rings]

-[Eligio] Well, before the incident--
-There.

All yours.

-He was ashamed of me.
-[operator] Okay.

-Hello?
-[Alicia] Gallo, are you picking Beni up?

Or did you forget?

Do you really believe I would forget?

Do you really
want me to answer that question?

Okay, drop it, drop it. Anything else?

[Alicia] Don't be late, please.

Okay, thanks.

[jazz music]

[Gallo] Hello.

[woman] Come in,
can you close the door, please?

-Sure, sorry.
-[woman] Benito, your dad is here.

-I'll be right back!
-[Gallo] Yes.

[jazz music continues]

Beni?

-Hi, Gallo.
-Ready?

I'm going to the restroom.

Okay, go.

[jazz music turns soft]

[sighs]

[woman] Hello!

-Hello.
-How are you?

-[Gallo] Good.
-Good?

-You remember me, right?
-[Gallo] Huh?

Remember me?

I'm Alicia's friend.

-Oh, right, yes.
-Diana.

-Yes?
-[Gallo] Yes.

Could you give me a hand with him?

-Yes.
-It's just--

You know, he's old.
[Diana giggles nervously]

[dog growls]

-[Diana] Hey, where's Benito?
-In the restroom.

-Oh, good.
-Yes.

-Oh, honey.
-[dog whines]

Come on.

Oh, you good boy! Who's a good boy?

-That boy is adorable, right?
-Yes.

Apart from his little issue--

-What issue?
-You know.

-No, I don't.
-[guitar music]

The reason why we bring him to therapy.

With his psychologist.

The reason why Alicia and I decided
to take him to therapy and…

[playful guitar music]

No, I'm his learning therapist.

I help him with homework.

I help him with everything
that has to do with school, but--

-Oh!
-It's been a year, Gallo.

Well, I've been paying for this therapy
for a year, so…

In fact, I wanted to tell you
he seemed a little lazy at school,

and I was a bit concerned.

I don't know if he's doing better.

Why don't you ask him?

[Gallo] We're not going to talk
about school. [laughs]

-We're here to have fun, buddy. Right?
-[Benito] I don't know.

Why don't you tell your dad
how you're doing at school?

Thank you very much. Nice to meet you.

-But we had already met.
-[Benito] Bye, Diana.

[Diana] Bye, Benito.

-[Diana] Take care.
-[Gallo] Thanks, let's go.

RECOGNITION AWARD
THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD

[Benito hums]

[Benito whistles]

Come on, Gallo!

[angrily grumbles]

[jazz music]

[Benito] Weren't you going
to clear up my room?

It looks like a storehouse.

I really intended to. I'm swamped.

It's worse than last time.

Don't worry, I'll tidy it up.

Do you want something for dinner?

-Yes, pizza.
-Okay.

Go take a shower while dinner comes.

-Double cheese.
-Use my shower if you want, I'll be here.

[soft music]

[Benito] And pepperoni.

[Benito] Is this for real?

-It's so good.
-[Benito] It's awful.

I have an agreement
with the Japanese restaurant next door.

[Benito] Yuck!

It's sushi, but genuine sushi.

-Yuck, it's gross.
-From Okinawa.

Hey, that teacher is nice, uh?

A bit of a weirdo, but nice.

-What's up?
-What?

You're not going to eat?

-I wanted pizza.
-You should have told me.

-I told you.
-You have to communicate.

You must communicate. You talk to me,

we listen to each other,
and I understand. Uh-huh?

How's school? Good?

Good.

-Do you have a girlfriend?
-No, but I like a girl.

-[cellphone rings]
-She's older.

-From fifth grade and--
-[Gallo] Sorry. Hello?

-What's up, Bolas?
-[Bolas] What's up, Gallo?

When are we going back to Miami
to close the deal?

-Right away.
-The concept is clear, right?

-[Bolas] Yes!
-Yes, it's a reality show,

not an ounce of comedy.

Just like you, dude.

-What?
-No, not a problem. Trust me.

You trust me, Gallito.

Oh, of course, I trust you.

Hey, let's… no, no, no.

You've got to knock it out of the park,

but like scoring from midfield.

There's no other way.

-[Gallo] Cheers, man.
-One for you too.

[soft music]

-Hey.
-Hmm?

Good luck with the girl, the one you like.

[Benito] Okay, bye.

[Héctor] When you wake up

you won't be angry…

[Gallo] That's it, champ!

…if someone walks in front of the TV.

You will understand the value of sharing

-your space with other people.
-Here comes the magic.

-Héctor.
-[Héctor] You will accept

-that you're part of a community.
-[cellphone dings]

NEW MESSAGE

[Héctor] One…

CAN I SEE YOU TONIGHT?

Two…

I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

Three.

YES.

[slowly] Wake up

now!

[background voices]

[Gallo] Hey!

Right on time, as usual.

-Is everything okay?
-All good.

Yes?

The place is nice, right?

Yes, yes, it's nice.

It's the only Okinawa-style sushi
here in the city.

I talked to the owner.

He offered me an exchange,
three times a week.

[Alicia] Of course.

Sorry, I hadn't eaten. And I'm--

You're swamped.

-Yes.
-[Gallo chuckles]

How was your important dinner party?

Oh, good, very good.

-And how did things go with Beni?
-Good.

All amazing with the little buddy.
Very, very good.

Ana! Can I ask you a favor?

Could you bring a menu for the lady?
Did you eat?

No, no, but I'm not hungry.

-Well, a small dish.
-No, no, no.

-No, I'm okay, thanks. Yes.
-Sure?

[cellphone vibrates]

Oh, let me switch this off--
It's driving me crazy.

The lady is popular.

Uh-huh.

-Do you remember "Happiness"?
-Hmm?

The agency where I worked for ten years.

Yeah.

They invited me to a reunion party

and I wasn't going,
but I decided to go and I RSVP'd.

So, now everyone is replying.

Hmm, good.

I never met anyone
from that agency, did I?

[soft Japanese music]

I… I asked to see you

because something important came up
during the dinner party.

[Gallo] What came up?

I was offered to lead the consultancy

in Madrid.

Wow, that's awesome!

Yes, yes, but… [clears her throat]

I have to move there.

[Gallo] Uh-huh.

Are you sure you don't want some sushi?

With Beni.

I need to move there with Beni.

Yes, it's clear
that you must go with Benito.

Yes, of course.
I always thought of taking him to Europe.

I think he's going to love Madrid.

Ana,

I'm going to order a bottle of sake.

Cold or warm?

-Uh…
-Warm.

What's on your chest, Gallo?

-Sorry?
-No, I mean, inside.

Is it tofu?
Or what is it instead of a heart?

No, I don't get it.

I'm telling you I'm taking your son away
to live to the other side of the world.

And you talk about sake and sushi.

What's wrong? What's going on?

No, what's wrong with you?

What should I say?
That you can't take him anywhere?

I would like you to show a bit of heart.

Just a little bit.

-You don't give a fuck.
-Okay, okay.

So, shall I call a lawyer,
ask him not to sign a thing,

and make sure you don't take him anywhere?

Thanks.

-Help me understand you.
-Understand what?

Why did you recognize Benito?

Here we go.

No, it's a serious question.

Because that's what we both wanted.

What did you expect?
For me to leave you alone?

At least Benito wouldn't keep waiting
for you to show up.

-Enough, leave Benito out of this.
-We're talking about him.

No, we're not talking about him,
but about you.

You kept waiting for someone to show up.

No, no, I swear I haven't expected
anything for years.

Oh, perfect. Both of us having
no expectations from anyone.

The perfect relationship.

Do you love him?

-Why the question?
-No, I mean it.

-Do you love him?
-I worked my tail off my whole life

so he'd have everything.

Yes, yes. Why wouldn't I love him?
He's my son.

-Are you sure he's yours?
-[wind gust]

Excuse me?

What…? What did you say?

[sentimental music]

I'm sorry. I meant nothing by it.

Uh…

We'll talk later, okay?

I need to go.

-We'll talk later.
-What?

I'm sorry.

Alicia.

[honking]

-[impact]
-[commotion]

[Gallo] Alicia?

[man] Help! Call somebody!

A doctor! A doctor!

[background voices]

[sentimental music]

[soft music]

[woman] She was always
the first one at everything.

Right?

[Diana] I'm sorry for your loss.

-[sentimental music]
-[cries]

When I was…

When I was a bit older than you,

my… my…

[sentimental music]

Buddy…

Everything will be okay, I promise.

[sentimental music]

[Gallo] Huh?

-Elena.
-Grandma.

[Gallo gasps]

[Elena] How are you, sweetheart?

I'm fine.

Your dad and I talked,

and we thought that the best thing,

for now, will be that you stay with me
for a few days.

-Is that okay?
-Yes.

You like grandma's house better anyway.

-Right?
-[Benito] Uh-huh.

-Let's go. See you.
-Okay.

[sentimental music]

GENETICS LAB
SEARCH

[Paty] Keep calm, ladies, keep calm.

-They don't look alike.
-The key is who it wants to stay with.

Yes, they're sisters.

Who does the kitten bond most with?

[operator] Zoom in to her.

-[Gallo] Close up. That's it.
-[woman] Look how happy it is.

WHO DOES THE CAT WANT?

[sentimental music]

[text message notification]

GENETICS LAB RESULTS

[operator]
Where did you get that cat from?

[operator] There it is.

NEGATIVE PATERNITY TEST

[operator] Are we going off? Gallo?

Shall I cut to commercials?

Gallo? So, what do we do now?

Gallo? Gallo?

-[children's voices]
-[indistinct PA announcement]

[mom] Hi, sweetie!

-[Benito] What's up? What brings you here?
-Hey, buddy.

Grandma died.

What are you saying?

No, I'm here to…

Never mind.
Let's go and grab something to eat.

What would you like?

-I want burgers.
-Okay, no sushi.

-Let's go. Is everything okay?
-Yes.

-You sure?
-Yes.

So, you want to have
a father and son conversation?

Yes.

It's very important

that you understand
what I want to tell you.

You know when something hurts,

but in the end, it's for the best?

-Like…
-[clicks tongue]

Like a vaccine,

for example.

Did the vaccine hurt?

My arm hurt a lot,

but after a few days,

it was okay.

But my arm was infected.
They were going to cut it off.

Okay, what I want to say
is like something you need to get and…

It might hurt, but it's for your own good.

It's like… Like a vaccine.

Like a vaccine against what?

Against me.

How come?

Come closer.

I'm not your dad.

That didn't hurt.

[Gallo sighs]

Okay, hmm…

So, who's my dad?

[hesitates] I… I don't know.
Your mom never told me.

But there's no difference,
nothing changes.

Hey…

We can still see each other
anytime we want.

Of course, it doesn't change a thing.

You weren't my dad anyway.

-[door slams]
-[melancholic music starts]

-[Elena] Hi, sweetheart!
-[Benito] Grandma!

Tonight, we have a stunning
and shocking case.

On the one hand,
we have Gabriel, aka Gallo,

a hard-working man,
father of a ten-year-old boy

who just found out he's not his son.

[audience] Oh!

And on the other hand, we have Alicia,

the perpetrator of that lie.

[Paty] Let's give love a chance,

because loving someone is…

[audience] The best thing in the world!

[applause]

[Paty] So, Alicia, tell us,

did you suspect that Gallo
wasn't Benito's dad?

-I suspected it.
-[Gallo] Hmm!

[Paty] Dreadful.

-And why didn't you…?
-Why didn't you tell me?

[jazz music]

Because I wanted to have a child with you.

Hmm!

Why with me?

Because I always thought…

you were a good guy.

Okay? Things between us didn't work,

but to drive you away from Beni
wasn't a way to protect him, Gallo.

[jazz music]

He needs you.

-And I know that what I saw,
-[musical flashes]

that extraordinary man…

is still there.

[sentimental music]

-[metallic cut]
-[bang]

STRICKEN

[music fades in/fades out]

[agitated]

-[music ends]
-[meow]

[exhales]

-[meow]
-[exhales]

[exhales]

[rhythmical music]

[background voices]

[Elena] Come in.

[Alison] Ma'am, you have a visitor.

[Elena]
Oh, what can I do for you, Gabriel?

You wanted to see me?

-[Elena] Thanks, Alison.
-[Alison] Excuse me.

I don't have much time.

I have a meeting in five minutes.

Don't worry,
I don't have much time either.

I have things to do, but…

Nothing… we didn't talk again
after what happened.

And things haven't been easy.

I don't know if Benito
talked to you or said something.

No, nothing. Anything else?

[surprised snort]

What do you…?

So, he hasn't said anything?

You didn't say anything?

I haven't said anything yet.

[sighs]

So, tell me.

Nothing. I just wanted to say
that before Alicia…

[soft jazz-style music]

She… she… told me something.

And I had tests done.

-Tests?
-Yes, tests.

-What tests?
-[things smashing]

[Elena] What happened? Kranky!

No, Kranky.

What happened?

[background voices]

-[Elena] How did it break?
-[man] I don't know.

[Elena] If anything happens
to my girl, I'll fire you all!

[Elena] No, it can't be.

-[Benito] Hello, Gallo!
-What are you doing here?

Why aren't you at school?

Did you tell her?

[background arguing]

No, I was going to tell her now--

-I don't want you to tell her.
-Okay, okay. I won't say a thing.

I want to know who my dad is.

I need you to help me find him.

Listen, buddy--

Hey…

I know how much this means to you,

but it's hard,

and to be honest,
I don't know where to begin.

I do. Here.

-What's this?
-My mom's cellphone.

And what do you want me to do with this?

Check it. There must be a clue somewhere.

This is what the password looks like…

It's like a triangle, like a house.

Let's see, hey…

Should I talk to your grandmother
and ask her?

Perhaps she knows something.

-Hmm! It's embarrassing.
-Yes, I know, but I have--

Listen, buddy, I have a complicated day,

and I have my own problems.

-You have problems?
-Yes, I have problems.

I don't have a dad or a mom.
That is a problem!

-[woman] It's breathing.
-[Elena] Call the vet.

[Elena] Oh, sweet little thing.
Tell me where it hurts.

-[Elena] Leticia…
-You did that?

Yes, and I can do worse things.

[Elena] Give her celery
to help her relax. Celery!

[soft music]

[Federico] Hi Alicia, I'm back in town.

I know it's been a long time,
but I want to see you.

I'm writing my memoir

and you're inevitably a part of them.

I keep thinking of your beautiful body,

your eyes, your hands.

I want you to help me find the words
to describe our encounters.

I know I owe you

and I'm willing to take responsibility
for my actions.

I love you.

[Gallo] Wow, that's
an intense message, uh?

Yeah, right?
Okay, I brought some walkie-talkies.

-Uh-huh.
-So, we can split

and communicate. This is for me.

-This is yours.
-[Gallo] Whoa, pink ones!

Who gave them to you?

You gave them to me
when they took my tonsils out.

That's what I'm saying, they're good.

They're… I don't know, good quality.

-Is the signal good?
-I don't know.

-I never tried them. I'll try them today.
-[Gallo] Okay.

I'll be Chunky, and you're Slicey, okay?

[soft music]

Good memory, right?

[both] Mm-hmm!

Detective Chunky,
calling Detective Slicey over.

Slicey here.

You have to say "over."

-Over, over.
-Okay.

Hey, don't leave the park. Okay?

-Okay?
-Okay.

Can you turn it on?

[beep]

[Gallo] Let's go.

[Benito] 10-4, 10-4,
you copy, Slicey? Over.

Yeah, sorry.

[Gallo] Mr. Chunky, 10-4. Copy.

I don't think it's a good idea

to separate here in the park.

It's okay, Slicey, I'm fine.

[Benito] Hey, can I ask you something?
Over.

Ask away, Mr. Chunky.

Did you know that you weren't my dad
when I was born?

[Benito] Over.

No! No, no! I didn't know!

Over.

So, why didn't we ever celebrate
Father's Day?

[Benito] Over.

[laughs sarcastically] Buddy,

that's a US capitalist invention for kids.

[Gallo] Mr. Chunky, 10-4.

[beep]

-[Gallo] Benito?
-[beep]

Benito?

[background voices]

What's up, Benito? Where are you?

-[man] Is it authentic?
-[woman] Mm-hm!

-[Gallo] Answer me.
-[beep]

Hey, buddy! What's going on?

[soft music]

-[Federico] Do you like it?
-[Benito is surprised]

[Gallo] Yes.

Yes, yes, I have…

Nothing, that's…

That's his mom.

[soft music]

It's so nice to meet you!

You have her gaze.

-Sorry, sorry.
-Ah.

Federico Alcántara.

I painted her.

-Gallo.
-Gallo.

They call me "Gallo," I'm his…

Come with me.

I'd love to show you something.

Sure.

Honey!

Let's go.

-Excuse me.
-Go ahead.

[soft music]

[Benito] Wow!

-[Benito] Yikes!
-[Gallo] Amazing!

I thought Alicia was one of a kind, but--

Sorry.

Federico…

Nothing, Benito and I…

Looking at the paintings,
it's clear that you and Alicia had

a close relationship.

She was my muse.

I could paint her over and over again,

and every time she was
like a different person.

Your mommy had a very

complex beauty, son.

I'm sorry,

but I'm just very excited
that you're here.

No, it's okay.

You're pure light, Benito!
[excited] Fuck yeah!

-You're pure light!
-[Gallo] Yes.

Yeah, he's pure, pure light.

-He's pure light.
-Yes.

Listen, Benito and I--

Uh… nothing, we want to know…

Nothing… Benito and I want to know if…

You slept with my mom.

[sudden music]

You brought the kid all the way here
to ask me if I slept with his mom?

While my wife is in the living room?

No. Well… kind of, yeah.

I want to make it very clear
that Alicia was only my inspiration,

my muse and nothing else, okay?
Is it clear?

Yes, nothing else.

This is disrespectful.

I'm angry.

The world is turning to shit
because of pornography.

-[Gallo] Uh?
-Social media.

Because you're all
stuck to your cellphones.

You're killing the last neurons
you have left

by perverting them.

You're turning into robots!

[Federico laughs]

Do you know what this rotten world needs?

-[Gallo] What?
-Art.

I've always been haunted by the stigma
of my art being linked to perversion!

What do you see when you see a woman?

-What?
-Her body?

I don't, I see her essence.

I don't see naked women!

No, I don't!

[agitated] Do you, kid?

-A naked woman?
-Hey, I'm sorry.

[agitated] This is not a bed,
"chicken," this is a temple!

[Benito gasps]

[yelling] It's a temple! It's a temple!

-[Benito] Run!
-The subject is not the father.

I repeat. The subject is not the father.

Copy.

-[Gallo is flustered]

Hey, hey, what's going on, Sony?

You open the door with one hand,

and you close it with both.

You open it and you're saying,
"I'm here, I'm here."

And you close it saying,
"You'll never see me again."

But guess what?

I'm back, but I'm leaving. Okay?

[Eliseo] Ready, let's do it.
Feel it! Come on!

Alicia was in the 2009 Master Class group.

[Benito] Oh!

What do you want to ask?

Buddy and I are going on a journey

through his mom's story,

and he wants to know more and more…

Things like who she was with and all that.

Hmm. Yes, sure, I get it.

We heard a message, somewhat private

that you sent her and nothing…

It caught my attention.

It said, "Hot, baby, hot."

"Haha."

What do you need to know?

Basically, what kind of relationship
you had with her.

We had a very, very good relationship.

She encouraged me to move forward
after my accident.

We were very close.

Alicia was the best thing
that happened to me.

I met her when I was at my peak.

For Broadway, on the pony, succeeding, uh.

But it turned and I was distracted.

I fell and broke both knees.

-Oh, wow.
-Yeah.

Turned where or what?

The pony…

A pony turned and I fell,
and broke both knees.

Oh, sorry!

I thought it was a metaphor…
Sorry, please continue.

Well, we spent a lot of time together.

She helped me a lot.

She encouraged me to give dancing lessons.

-[Gallo] Hmm!
-Yeah.

I never imagined it would be so amazing.

It's like building a legacy.

Passing on knowledge has no comparison.

Yes, passing on knowledge
has no comparison.

Now that you mention your legacy…

That is, we want…

Yes, I know what you want.
What we want, both of us.

-I know what you want.
-Oh, do you?

Yeah, ever since you walked in.

I saw it in…

his gaze.

That flaring gaze.

[sudden music]

The way he walks.

You and I are going to close the circle.

And I'm willing to pay what I owe his mom.

[music ends abruptly]

We'll open a children's course
at the end of the month.

We would love you to join.

It's so nice
to see someone starting out in dancing.

And if you want to bring someone,
we'll obviously do it two for one.

Yeah, we're searching for something else.

-Nothing, we just want…
-Come on, Gallo, he's told us.

I'm talking to him…

[cheerful music]

-Thank you.
-He's got the enthusiasm.

-[Gallo] Yes.
-I can see it in his gaze,

he's got the enthusiasm, he's got it.

[cheerful music]

-[music ends]
-[Gallo] Hey…

He's not my dad.

Listen, Chunky,

we must be more professional.

I get that there are things
that don't add up.

But we have to bring it down a notch.

I don't want a dad that fell off a pony.

Not even you have ever fallen off a pony.

Yes, I know, but parents…

you don't pick them, you just get them.

Can we search for this one
who's hugging her?

Let's see.

-[mocks laugh]
-What?

Erik Rubín, the singer, isn't your dad.

-Why not?
-He's going bald, look at him.

I'm going bald.

You can't be going bald!
You're ten years old.

Listen, buddy,

I understand you're going through
a hard time. Okay?

But it will pass.

I'll tell you something people say.

They say that when your head is sad,

hair goes on vacation.

So, our duty now is to make the head smile

so that hair grows back. And that's it!

And tomorrow, we'll go and look
for Erik Rubín. Deal?

-Okay.
-You like the idea?

-Yes.
-Give me five.

Oh, give me a good one.

What was that?

[jazz music]

How do you know Erik will be here?

He was recording a show in that studio,
so, I'm going to try and go in, mm-hmm?

You stay here.

If you see him come, you warn me.

-Uh-huh!
-Okay.

-Good luck.
-Thanks.

[jazz music]

Imagine if I let people in
without an appointment.

-See? I can't do that.
-[Gallo hesitates] I get it.

But perhaps
I don't need to be on that list.

You see, we're friends.
Yeah, we agreed to meet.

[receptionist]
Why didn't you meet elsewhere?

I'm not a fan. I'm a producer, see.

[soft music]

[honking]

[jazz music]

-Gabriel Gaitán, ring any bells?
-[receptionist] Sir… Your ID looks fake.

Detective Chunky,
calling Detective Slicey.

Our subject is approaching in an SUV.

[Gallo] Copy.

Thanks

for nothing.

-[soft music]
-[phones ringing]

See to that, please.

Thanks.

[Gallo] Erik!

-Erik…
-[Erik] What's up, bro?

What's up, my bro? How are you?

-I'm running late.
-I need to talk to you for a second.

-Sorry, man.
-[bodyguard] Hey, back off.

-It's important.
-[Erik] Live show, sorry.

Hey, back off! You can't enter.

Keep still!

-Erik. Erik!
-[bodyguard] You can't go in!

-[glass breaks]
-[Gallo] My phone, you idiot.

You stepped on it.

[action music]

[bodyguard] What?

"What"?

-[Gallo] Uh.
-Back off.

-[music ends]
-What?

No!

-[pants] No.
-[pensive music]

Don't worry, buddy. We'll figure it out.

-Okay?
-[Benito] Okay.

But the man said it was ruined.

Well, I know it's not the same,
but what do we have in that bag, huh?

What's inside?

A phone with lots of storage space
to download all the games you want.

Besides, what do I work for?
To cover all your needs.

Okay?

I'm going to give you my cell…

Well, no… I'm not giving it to you
because it ran out of battery.

Hey…

some AirPods.

Now I don't have anything
to remember her by.

Hey…

we'll see about that.

[phone dial-up]

[phone ringback]

[man] Flaming Hot Pizzas, good evening.

Yes, hello. I'd like to order a pizza.

[man] Good, I suggest
the season special with spinach

-and cold cuts.
-[Benito] Pepperoni.

-With pepperoni, please.
-Okay.

And double cheese.

Yeah, and double cheese.

-Yes.
-Good choice, sir.

-Please hold in line.
-Hey…

Take a shower in the meantime.

-Are you paying cash?
-Yes.

-Home delivery?
-Yes.

I'll transfer you
to get your information, sir.

[shower]

[sentimental music]

[Gallo sighs]

[sentimental music continues]

[Gallo sighs]

Hm?

[Benito] What's that?

[sentimental music continues]

[Gallo chuckles]

-No way.
-What? Look.

[Gallo] Let's see.

[laughs] Who is it?

-Me.
-[Gallo] Can you guess how old you were?

-Three.
-A bit more.

-Three and a half?
-Exactly.

I want to show you one.
Let's test your memory.

What happened that day?

I got my new bike.

I got some ugly bumps.

Exactly!

-Let's see.
-It was so cool.

Wait.

-[emotional music]
-[Gallo sighs]

[Gallo sighs]

[emotional music]

[cellphone rings]

Excuse me.

[cellphone rings]

[cellphone rings]

-Hello?
-[Elena] Gallo, what's going on?

I've been calling you.

We had a mishap,
my cell ran out of battery.

I was worried!

I told you, I ran out of battery.

Bring Benito over, please.

-He's got school tomorrow.
-Okay, thanks.

-[Benito] Uh?
-Your grandmother.

-[Benito] Oh.
-Come on. Hurry up.

Your grandmother is a neurotic.

One can't talk to her.

[cellphone ringing]

-What's up, Gaby?
-[Gaby] Hello, Gallo,

just to let you know
we're moving you to another set.

What do you mean "another set"?

Yes, we're changing sets.

Why? Do you think it's funny or what?

No, I'm not laughing. I'm not laughing.

I think it's funny I'm the last person
to know that we're changing sets.

-Okay.
-Listen, I'm just letting you know.

Don't forget that you work for me.

-Okay, which one?
-That's irrelevant, Gallo.

Can't I know which one?

-Relax, Gallo.
-I'm… I'm relaxed.

-Hey, don't yell at me.
-No, no! I'm…

-No, yes…
-I have to go.

-Gaby!
-[hangs up]

Gaby!

[grumbles]

I'm kind of swamped

and I have a slightly complicated day.

Let's talk to Diana and tell her about it.

How about you ask her?

But without her knowing.

[oldies music]

[Diana] They're watery.

-Two unicorn milkshakes?
-Yes, thanks.

-Very kind of you.
-It looks good, uh?

-[Héctor] Hi!
-Héctor!

-[Gallo] Hey, it's so good to see you.
-How are you?

-[Gallo] It's been a while, all good?
-[Héctor] Oh, well, I'm just passing by.

What a surprise!
Hey, have a seat. I'm sorry!

-Have a seat.
-Thanks.

Sorry, uh. Héctor, a good friend.
Héctor. Diana.

Diana. Héctor.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You feel relaxed.

Very relaxed.

Your muscles begin to feel
profoundly lethargic.

Let me in…

and let my voice guide you

to the…

deep…

What are you doing, jerk?
He was about to touch me, you saw it.

-Why?
-[Héctor] Sorry.

[indistinct dialogue]

Gallo, if she doesn't cooperate,
I can't do it.

"Cooperate"? He wanted to poke me.

Calm down. Héctor, please, stop it.

This is impossible, Gallo.

-I'm sorry.
-I can't work like this.

-Sorry.
-[Diana] What?

What do you mean by that? He's… Oh!

You're cursing me. Look away.

Don't look at me, uh?

Look at him.

Can you explain what happened, please?

-Oh, sorry.
-No, what do you mean by "sorry"?

I apologize a thousand times.

I hired him because things got messy.

-Benito and I--
-So what?

Do you know who my dad is?

You're… you're joking, right?

Stop this, Gallo.

Alicia told me right before the accident.

I got the tests done and it's true.

The DNA was negative.

He's not your son?

I swear that Alicia didn't tell me.

No, no, she never told me.

Well, imagine how I feel.
And how Benito feels.

-Gallo, I don't know…
-We need your help.

The last thing we had
was Alicia's cellphone,

which I dropped and got smashed.

There was the last evidence.

Okay.

I'm going to think about it.

And you brought that man for this?

-You made him do this…
-I'm sorry.

-He almost poked my eye.
-I'm sorry. Apologize.

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

No, you truly went overboard.

You're so uncreative, both of you.

How did you expect me to know?

[car lock beep]

-Good night.
-Yes?

Gabriel Gaitán?

What's this?

I'm just the delivery guy.

[Federico] This is not any kind
of reconciliation.

My wife forced me to do it,
and Alicia would've liked

her son to have it.

Sincerely, Federico.

[gasps]

[voice message ding]

VOICE MESSAGE

[Gaby] Listen, I don't know
what's up with you,

but you're neglecting your work.

You should rethink your priorities.

[woman] Do you think
he wanted to hurt you?

No, to be honest, I don't know.

There are evil people in the world.

I can't speak for him, but…

[Gallo] He's talking about me.

However, nothing justifies harassment.

"Harassment"?

What did you do, Gallo?

No, I just approached him and I…

What can I say, bro?

If you're watching, go to therapy,

life can be better.

I forgive you.

Thanks!

Sorry, but it's not just anything
that he's forgiving you, uh?

-To be honest.
-[barking]

-Coffee?
-Oh, no. Water.

-Tea, have some tea…
-Water.

This tea will align your chakras.

-Something like that, I can't remember.
-Water is fine.

-Just water? Sure?
-Yes.

Well, I called

because I was going over it
over and over again…

And I believe I know who the dad is.

Who?

-The psychologist.
-The psychologist?

Alicia's psychologist.

Are you saying
Alicia got involved with her psychologist?

No, that her psychologist gets involved
with all his patients. That's different.

That's great.

Great work ethics,

the psychologist
sleeping with his patients.

Sorry.

So…

So…

Hmm… if it's not him,

he should know,
because Alicia told him everything.

But this disgusting manipulator
moved to Tepoztlán, I don't know when.

Thank God,
I don't have to see his stupid face.

No, no, no, you do have to
because you must find out what he knows.

No, I'm sorry, we need
to find out what he knows.

No, listen, no, hmm…

This isn't easy, Diana.

I've got the kid, I've got work.

I can't not go to work.

I have to be there.

[Gallo] And, well, perhaps…

Perhaps I have to let go and have a…

A feminine figure to help me out, to…

to…

-let go, to help me out.
-[guitar chords]

[Diana] Mm-hmm!

No, I get it. I get it. I really do.

I didn't know it was being so hard.

-No, yes.
-I see.

-[Diana] Hmm.
-[barking]

[barking]

Pato,

[guitar chords]

[Diana] Do you find math easy?

-No.
-No, right?

-[Pato] No.
-What about you?

-No.
-[Diana] Hmm.

And if it's not easy,
why don't you send me,

for example, to school to take your exams?

Why don't I do your homework?

Why don't I go to Tepoztlán
and you pay me for it?

And you can forget about it.

Because life gave me math
to solve problems,

Diana, not to run away from them.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

No, you're not wrong.

-Do you want coffee?
-[Pato] No sugar. Thanks.

[guitar chords end]

Mmm!

[guitar chords]

Shall we go to Tepoztlán?

-Thanks.
-[Diana sings] Let's go to Tepoztlán.

[cheerful music]

[Gallo] So,
what are you telling him or what?

The truth.

-[Diana] What do you want to say?
-I don't know.

Psychologists are not meant
to reveal their patients' secrets.

Hey, what if we use mentalism?

-What?
-Mentalism.

If you touch your mouth
and then your heart,

you're sending him a message
to tell you the whole truth.

-Oh, wow.
-Mouth-heart?

How?

Okay, let's try it or what?

It's like a weird sect, but you can say…

Well… I want to see you there.

-Hello.
-"Hello."

"Who's my son's dad?"

-And what's in Tepoztlán?
-What?

What's in Tepoztlán? I don't remember.

-In Tepoztlán there are--
-Hippies.

-Hippies.
-Lots of them.

The Tepozteco site.

Some people claim
to have seen UFOs up there.

-Says who?
-No, they do exist.

Yes, I saw one at eleven. When I was…

-Why are you laughing?
-No, no.

-For real.
-[Gallo] Yes?

-I want to go too.
-[Benito] Let's!

If you don't believe,
you don't want to go.

-Okay.
-On three. One, two, three.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Okay, okay, okay. Excursion?

-For real?
-Yeah.

WELCOME TO TEPOZTLÁN

-Wait.
-What?

No, too late.

-[Gallo] Hello!
-[woman and Diana] Hi.

Uh… is Canek here?
We have a few questions to ask him.

Oh, no, impossible.

He's meditating and he actually asked me
that nobody bothered him.

Meditating? At this time?

Yeah, okay, whatever. Listen…
We've come a long way.

We've come from Mexico City

and wanted to ask him
about a former patient.

Her name is Alicia Ugalde.

-Ali--? Who?
-Alicia Ugalde.

No idea, really.

Well, it's not something to discuss here.

I don't know if…

perhaps you…

could open the door
and let us talk to him for five minutes.

[funny music]

-[Benito] It's working.
-[Diana] Oh, no, that's embarrassing.

Sorry, listen… What we want to know
is if he slept with Alicia,

because he always has
quite intimate relationships

with all of his patients,
so perhaps he's a dad.

-[Gallo] Well…
-So, that's why we want to talk to him.

Why do you say
he has sex with all of his patients?

[music ends]

Uh? Doesn't he?

Oh, no, no, I'm not his patient.

Oh, no? Oh, sorry.

-What? Who are you?
-[woman] I'm his psychologist.

[Diana] Oh, I see, I see.

Since you're wearing his shirt.
That's why.

-Is that…?
-[Diana] I'm sorry, uh?

-[fast-paced music]
-I have no beef with you.

-No, you can't come in.
-I'm sorry, I can.

[woman] No, no. What's wrong with you?

[fast-paced music]

Auch!

[indistinct argument]

[fast-paced music]

Line up your chakras.

I know who your dad is, Benito.

His name is Enrique Vega.

And he is none other than
the owner of the agency Happiness.

We can go and relax
because it stinks of copal here. Please.

[fast-paced music]

Well, what is copal?

[music ends]

-Is that a UFO?
-What?

[Benito] That.

-It's a bird.
-[Diana] Where?

-There.
-There.

[Diana] Okay, so if it was,
what would you ask?

What's your name?

Hmm. I don't think
they speak good Spanish.

[Diana] Hmm!

How did Carmen Salinas invite them?

They were all actors.

They dressed them as aliens,
but they were all actors.

All of them?

-Not all of them.
-[Gallo] All.

That can't be, that's not true.

What about the one that… that…

"Asshole, my hair, you idiot."

-[Gallo laughs]
-That's not… it's not true.

In case you were wondering,
the werewolf too.

-That one too.
-Not true.

-[Gallo] I swear.
-Not true.

The only real thing, buddy,
are the feelings

produced by the stories we tell.

[Gallo] Uh?

[Gallo] In the end we all realize

that we're human beings. Hmm?

[guitar chords]

Tell us one.

-One what?
-[Benito] A story.

-But, what about?
-[Diana] You know a ton.

We're talking about things.

-I have one. I have a friend.
-[Diana] Let's see.

A life-long friend

who only walked backwards.

-Why?
-I swear to God,

-he walked backwards.
-How?

-[Diana] Why?
-Who knows?

He stood up, like this,
and it was like… Uh…

-Ask me something, anything.
-[Benito] Uh, what's your name?

My name is Javo.

[Gallo] Another question.

-Hmm, how old are you?
-I'm 37 years old.

-[Beni laughs]
-[Gallo] Last question, okay?

What is the square root of 91?

He's getting back at you.
I haven't taught him anything like that.

[Gallo] What's gonna happen tomorrow?

We're going to see the aliens.

-[chokes laugh]
-[music ends]

Hmm!

[soft music]

[Benito] No, leave it, leave it.

[Gallo] Are you sure?

[Benito] I want to see the mountains
and the UFOs tomorrow morning.

Where's your friend now?

-My friend?
-Mm-hmm.

Uh…

He went on a trip and didn't come back.

Hmm.

Hmm.

I'll be out here if you need anything.
Okay?

Hmm.

Sleep well, buddy.

[soft music]

[Gallo] Shh, shh.

-He's asleep.
-Do you want some wine?

I believe "no" will never be

the answer to that question.

-Oh!
-Yes or no?

-Yes, I do.
-You never go straight to the point.

No, yes.

That's enough.

That's it, a little bit more.

That's it, thanks.

Geez!

That's it, thanks.

You know? When I was a girl,
I always wanted some of these.

-Yes, they're…
-Yes.

They're called Slicey and Chunky.

They're our alter egos.

Oh, well, cheers to those alter egos.

Cheers.

[Diana] Hmm.

I just want to say one thing.

After this expedition,
I also want a walkie-talkie.

-With an extravagant code name and all.
-[Gallo] Oh. Like what?

You tell me.

You're the one
coming up with the names, right?

-[Gallo] Those names…
-They sound…

No, they're not…

When Benito was younger,
I made him some walkie-talkies

out of cans of "sliced" tomatoes

and "chunks" of… [Gallo laughs]
…mushrooms.

-[Diana] Oh, wow.
-I can't remember.

[Gallo gasps]

He loved them and…

So everywhere he went,
he took Slicey and Chunky.

[Diana] Hmm.

Can I ask you a question?

Like what?

Hmm…

Why…?
Why did you distance yourself from Benito?

[inhales sharply] Geez.

Well, for starters, I believe

it had a lot to do with the divorce.

[inhales sharply] And then…
also the… financial pressure.

And what else?

[hesitates] Alicia always tried
to talk to me about this and…

To me, it's just something that happened.

Sometimes I think that…

I don't know. Perhaps Alicia
didn't find what she wanted in me.

-Perhaps she found it in that agency guy.
-"Happiness."

[Gallo laughs]

I don't think so.

I don't know, but…

I don't know,
I can see why you distanced yourself.

Not feeling is easier.

You believed your absence would be better
and that hurt Alicia.

I don't know.

She never told me
why she left that agency.

Now I understand.

It was weird every time
she mentioned "Happiness."

For example, now…

Well… She told me once about a party,

how she felt weird
and uncomfortable about it.

-She was obviously avoiding…
-[Gallo] The party!

-What party? What?
-[Gallo] The party.

[Diana gasps]

-The party! Enrique will be there.
-[Gallo mumbles]

[Diana] Gallo, we've got it.

-Right.
-[Diana] We need to find out where it is.

Yes, yes, let's… uh…

[cellphone rings]

-[Gallo] Sorry.
-Everything okay?

Yes, I gotta take this.

[cellphone rings]

-Sorry, uh.
-[Diana] No, sure, go ahead.

-[Gaby] Hello.
-[Gallo] Hello, Gaby, what's up?

I wanted to let you know
I got the rights for Celebrity Sentosha.

It's a Japanese reality show.

I'll air it
instead of The Best Thing in the World.

[tense music]

Come again?

[Gaby] I'm canceling your show, Gallo.

My legal team will contact you.

[sighs upset]

[tense music builds up]

[breathes heavily]

[music ends]

[rooster crowing]

[quick footsteps]

[hums]

-[Diana] Good morning!
-Good morning.

-[Diana] There's coffee.
-I've got a complicated morning.

I got a call, and I must go to Miami.

-[Diana] What?
-I'm flying today. I have a meeting…

-[Diana] I don't get it.
-A big one.

We'll go to El Tepozteco…

-[Gallo] It might be my last chance.
-Benito is getting ready.

And I don't…

Listen, calm down. I don't understand.
You don't what?

We're about to find him, right?

-Who?
-His… his dad.

I believe his real dad
can take him some other…

He's your--

[emotional music]

[Gallo] Beni.

-[Gallo] I'm sorry…
-[Diana] We can go.

-Don't wo--
-Shit!

[emotional music]

I'm sorry. I'm swamped.

I want to leave you the car so--

You're leaving?

If the situation were different, perhaps…

My show has just been canceled,
and I have to get a job.

Do whatever you have to do, Gallo.

-I have to…
-Do what you must.

[Gallo sighs]

[music ends]

[Diana] Hello.
I dropped Benito off at his grandmother's.

I hope you have a great flight to Miami,

and that you get the job.

[announcement] We'll start boarding
flight 702 to Miami.

Passengers from group one
please show up at gate number six.

In a few minutes, we'll call passengers

-from groups two and three.
-[Gallo] Hey!

No!

[Javo] The one and only Gallo Gaitán.

[Gallo] What's up, Javo? How are you?

-Good to see you.
-[Javo] Likewise.

It's been so long. You good?

-All good. How about you?
-All good.

-Good, good.
-Wow!

-Nice look.
-[in English] Miami, baby.

-[Gallo] You live there?
-Yes, with my family.

Oh, good.

-Are you okay?
-I'm okay, okay.

This is funny!

I swear, I swear.

Yesterday, only yesterday,
I was talking about you with…

Well, with some friends.

Oh!

"Jam ceque qui pieque."

-What?
-Things happen for a reason.

Hey, do you still do that walking

-backwards thing?
-No, I quit that.

Along with other things.

-Wow!
-But…

I learnt a great deal from that, uh?
I learnt a lot.

-Oh, really?
-Yeah, it's mind-blowing.

It's a journey.

You realize you're always
waiting to see what's next.

[In English] What's next?

[in Spanish] The Kunene tribe says so.

We're always looking to move forward.

But when it comes to that

you must step back…

and look at what was already there.

It's mind-blowing!

You realize

that most of the time,
what you want the most you already have.

It's so revealing.

Gallo?

[soft music]

Are you okay, dude?

Thanks.

[soft music]

[Gallo] Oh! I'm glad I saw you.

Benito doesn't want to see you.

Listen, Elena. I wanted to tell you.

Understood.

See you, Gabriel.

And take care, you don't look well.

Oh, sorry!

TEACHERS' ROOM

[tired] Hello.

Oh, sorry.

Come in.

Hello. Hi. I'm sorry.

[Gallo] I apologize. It's slightly urgent.

I was looking for my…

A kid. His name is Benito Ugalde.

-What grade is he in?
-[Gallo] He's in…

Fourth D.

Fourth-grade kids

-are in PE. Right?
-Yes, yes.

-At the end of the corridor, turn right.
-Uh-huh.

You'll see a soccer court.

You'll find him there.

Thanks.

[whistle]

[music ends]

[kids playing]

What's up, buddy?

-[whistle]
-Sorry for interrupting,

but I managed to get
an invitation to the party.

Where your… your dad will be.

It's tomorrow at the Ajusco.

[whistle]

[kids playing]

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I know you expected
something different from me and…

Yeah, I behaved terribly.

Terribly.

But I'm going to help you find him.

I promise.

Okay?

Pick me up at 12:00 at grandma's house.

-Beni?
-Uh?

Look what I brought, just in case.

I'm going to use it all day long.

[Gallo laughs]

-What about mine?
-Huh?

-Mine?
-Open that.

Yeah, right.

Look!

Chunky and Slicey!

Let's see, test it. Test it.

Chunky, Chunky, calling Slicey.
Slicey, over.

Chunky here…

Slicey.

[indistinct dialogue]

["Caguamita Banqueterra" continues]

[Gallo] This way.

So, how do you feel about the trip?

There will be other opportunities.
Come on.

-[woman 1] Really?
-[woman 2] Oh, hello.

-[man] I was no longer coming.
-This is great.

[indistinct conversations]

["Caguamita Banqueterra" continues]

Excuse me, do you know Enrique Vega?

Do you know where he is?

No, but I can tell him
you're looking for him.

-What's your name?
-Gallo. Gabriel Gaitán.

Gallo. Welcome, Gallo. Welcome.

-[Benito] Thanks.
-Thanks.

-Thanks.
-Oh!

Hey!

Do you want some tacos or what?

-Oh, yes.
-Sure!

-Yes?
-Onion, cilantro and the works.

-And some mezcal.
-Okay.

[Gallo] Some mezcal?

[Diana] Hmmm, oh yes.

Put some sauce.

-[Gallo] Green sauce.
-Mine without sauce.

[Ricky] Hello. Good afternoon.

I was told you were looking for me.

[emotional music]

Hello. How are you?

-[Ricky] You're the guy from IT?
-[Gallo] Yes.

Yes. Well, I'm…
Yeah, we're Gallo, Diana and Benito.

Ricky.

-[Diana] Hello.
-Gallo.

-[Gallo] Hello.
-Dianita.

-[Diana] Oh, you smell delicious.
-[Ricky] Patchouli.

-[Benito] Benito.
-Benito.

[Ricky] What's that stain? Hey!

[everybody laughs]

[Ricky laughs]

Great tacos. Are they store bought?

I see you're a big eater just like me.

-Huh? [laughs]
-[Gallo laughs]

My wife and I made them.
They're good, right?

[Gallo] Very good.

[Ricky] Help yourselves,
there's enough to feed an army.

[woman] Honey,

she fell asleep.

My wife and daughter.

-[Gallo] Hello.
-[Ricky] I'll introduce you later.

Make yourselves at home.

-[Gallo and Diana] Thanks.
-Benito.

[emotional music]

[whispers] He said,
"Make yourselves at home."

[Diana] Wake up.

[emotional music continues]

He seems like a well-rounded guy, right?

If he has a daughter,
why would he want another kid?

Once he gets to know you,
he'll love you best.

Yes.

[Ricky] Oh, traveling!

I love it, I love to travel.
Well, who doesn't?

-[Diana and Gallo] Yes.
-[Gallo] Yes, it's very gratifying.

Yes, yes, for sure.

[music ends]

[Ricky] What's up, Benito?

You're getting bored
in this adults' party, right?

Let me take you to a place you'll love.

You'll see. Can he come?

Yeah.

Come on. You'll see.

[Ricky laughs]

[Ricky] What do you think, huh?

[Ricky laughs]

Oh, look at this beauty.
It's the first Nintendo console.

-[Benito] Really?
-It works perfectly, huh?

Yes, yes, yes.

[Ricky laughs]

[Benito] Oh! Do you have a PlayStation 5?

Yes, sure. I love it.

But… [clicks tongue]

I don't have anyone to play with.

You know, playing online
is not the same for me, huh?

No, it's not the same.

Did you know Alicia Ugalde?

She's my mom.

[emotional music]

Your mom?

I couldn't attend the funeral,
I'm so sorry.

I was out of Mexico when it happened.

[hesitates] We were all very sad
when she left the agency.

She made me

happy.

To know that a woman like your mom
existed in this world…

That was so special to me.

Why did you ask

if I knew her?

[emotional music continues]

The kid told me that…

Well, that he likes a girl.

From school?

-Huh?
-[Diana] From school?

[whispers] He didn't tell me anything.

No, I don't know.

[emotional music continues]

[inaudible]

Well, Ricky seems super cool, right?

You'll be able to see Beni, talk to him…

-Yes.
-Right?

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[emotional music intensifies]

[emotional music turns nostalgic]

It's okay to feel something, Gallo.

To feel…

It isn't a bad thing.

Yes.

Yes, it's okay.

[nostalgic music continues]

Perhaps, I don't know if…

-[Diana] Do you want me to stay?
-Uh-huh.

[music turns sentimental]

Don't worry.

[Gallo] Tell him that I'll call him later.

-[Diana weeps]
-[Gallo clears his throat]

[Gallo sighs]

Thanks,

for everything.

[sentimental music continues]

[car lock beep]

[sentimental music continues]

[walkie-talkie beep]

[Benito] 10-4, 10-4,
do you copy, Slicey? Over.

[agitated breathing]

[walkie-talkie beep]

10-4, Beni, 10… Chunky.

I'm here, outside the party place.
Is everything okay?

[walkie-talkie beeps]

Benito, is everything okay?

[Benito yells] Gallo!

[hurried steps approaching]

-[Benito] I'll beat you.
-[Diana] Go on.

[Diana] He's leaving, he's leaving.

[hurried steps approaching]

-[Diana pants]
-[Beni gasping]

What happened? Is everything okay?

It wasn't him.

Let's go home.

What…? Do you want us
to look for Erik Rubín or not?

No, my hair isn't falling off anymore.
