That’s the key.

It’s this one. It’s my house. How wouldn’t I know?

- Fine. - Come in.

- What? What? No! - I have to carry you.

- What do you mean carry me? - Otherwise it’s bad luck.

- Love, you’ll hurt your back. - I won’t.

At your age I have to take care of you.

At my age? Strength does not depend on age.

The wedding was beautiful.

I love you, sweetheart.

You’re what’s most important for me.

I love you. That’s it?

What else do you want?

I want to be the love of your life.

That’s what I want.

I promise that as sooner than you think

I’ll make a lot of money to buy a bigger house and

where our kids can grow.

Everything will be great!

It’s a beautiful dream, love.

We’ll make it come true together.

Come, come.

- Ale, Ale, come... - What?

- It’s something important. - What?

Promise me you’ll quit your job at the hardware store.

No, I won’t.

- I won’t quit my job. - Hey, listen to me.

-What? -You don’t have to work anymore.

I don’t know if I don’t but I won’t quit.

But I’ll protect you, Ale.

- You’ll protect me? - Yes.

My handsome guy will protect me?

- Yeah? - Yeah.

How sweet!

But relax. Don’t stress yourself about it.

I don’t need anyone to protect me. Okay?

Fine...

Fine... are you coming?

Or are you staying here?

I’m coming. I’m always coming.

Ale, you don’t know how happy we are

to have you with us.

You’re the best employee we have.

Thank you. I’m also happy to be with you.

I hope you’re with us for many years to come.

I’ll be here for many years, surely.

I love it, I love the idea.

If you allow me, let’s make a toast.

Of course!

-Should we have a drink? -We’re taking too long!

- Let’s have several drinks. - Mr. Gustavo, sorry.

- We’re leaving. Ale... - What? How?

Why so soon?

- We’re leaving, Ale. - Hey, wait...

- We need to go, Alejandra. - Wait!

- What happened? - It’s just getting fun.

- Yes, we’re leaving. - Fine, let me take

my gifts, say goodbye to my friends.

- I’ll grab them. Let’s go. - I can’t...

- No. Alejandra... - ¡Ale!

Why are you trying to make fun of me?

Why are you laughing at me with that jerk.

- What did I do to you? - You’re hurting me.

No, you’re hurting me by doing that.

It’s a shame that you are like that, Alejandra!

I never thought you were capable of something like that.

Do you think I’m an idiot? Look at me!

Do I look like an idiot?

You have to respect me because I’m your husband.

Your friends must respect me because I’m your husband..

Those assholes that look at you, have to respect me. Fuck!

I couldn’t care less if he was your boss

because now I am your boss, huh?

Because I’m your husband, get it?

- Come here! Come here! - No, no...

No one has to rub your arm,

or whisper in your ear, you hear?

You know why they do it? You know why they do it?

Because you allow them to.

¡Oh...! Fermín, Fermín.

Do you know what this is?

Fermín, please...

Do you know what this is?

Fermín...

It’s the love you just broke.

Please, calm down.

What a shame!

Oh!

I’m calling the police.

- I’m sorry. - They’re coming.

- I’m sorry, okay? - They’re coming.

Look what I did to you.

I deserve to be taken to jail,

- Stay away. - to be killed.

What did I do to you?

Don’t come near, please.

What have I done? Leave me!

I promise I’d take care of you. To protect you...

Look at the stupid thing I did.

No! Please.

Leave me!

Leave me!

It won’t happen again.

It will never happen again. Forgive me.

It’s just that...

I love you

more than my own life.

And...

If you die, I’ll die with you.

Ale.

Forgive me.

I’m sorry.

KILLER WOMEN

CONDEMNED

Come and see this.

Huh? What do you think?

It’s the house I promised.

I always keep my word, love.

Wait until you see the boy’s room.

I myself made a crib

with bars set in such a way

that he’ll never hurt himself, you know?

- Hey. - Sorry, boss.

If you can’t carry it, tell me, but don’t let it drop.

It won’t happen again.

God!

Cameras?

Oh...

Love, I don’t know, but...

I think the neighborhood...

It looks safe.

It’s really nice.

Yes, they told me it was safe but...

I won’t take the risk.

It’s you, Ale.

- Oh. - Give me the baby.

You look tired.

Let’s see, come. Come.

Shush. Careful.

Don't wake him up.

It’s Violeta, pick up.

No, no, why should I talk to her if I can’t see her?

What do you mean? They’re your friends.

They want to know about you and the baby.

Tell them about the house I just gave you.

Oh, Ale, let’s see...

Violeta, it’s Fermín,

How are you?

Yeah, she couldn’t answer

because she was carrying the baby.

- Her hands are full. - Give him to me.

No, I’ll tell her to call you in a moment.

No! She’s perfectly fine. I appreciate your interest.

Good morning.

Good morning, love.

What a wonderful way to wake up.

- Hey... -Huh?

I was thinking...

I want to go back to work.

So there it is.

What is?

Of course.

I need to think about something other than David.

I swear I’m going crazy.

Besides, I was the best at my job.

So I want to go back.

I’ll call Mr. Gustavo.

- Ouch! - Sorry.

- Ouch! - You’re not calling anyone.

At least until David is older.

Much less that boos of yours who drools over you.

I’m sure our wedding ruined the plans he had with you.

Come on, don’t start again with your jealousy.

Please.

The guy is married. He has two daughters my age.

- I swear he’s old. - We didn’t have a baby

for a stranger to come and look after him.

You’re right, come here.

Yes! You’re right!

It’s a shame my mom doesn’t live in Mexico.

Oh...

Berta.

Love, Berta loves David.

She’ll be happy to take care of him.

What the fuck are you saying, Alejandra...

My sister can’t have any responsibility.

She can’t even take care of herself.

Are you really going to give her a baby?

You’d be crazier than her.

- Berta is not crazy. - She isn’t?

So you’ll tell me how my sister is?

Right?

I’ve looked after her all my life but I know nothing.

I know she’s not crazy.

But she has a...

something like a...

mental disability.

That’s why they look after her in an institution.

They told us she was ready to leave.

Well, because they want her spot.

Because those people are shit.

- Hey - Huh?

Do you realize what you’re trying to do?

It’s incredible how much you’ve changed.

You’re trying to manipulate me, Ale.

That’s not right.

- Not at all. - Stop.

We’ll have to fix this some other way.

No, no, no wait, wait.

- Ale... - Stop!

- Alejandra... - Leave me!

- Leave me, please. - Alejandra!

Open the door, Alejandra.

Alejandra,

I can’t wait any longer to touch you.

I’ll find other resources that you won’t like, you hear?

Open, Ale. No quarantine lasts eight months, fuck!

Not until you calm down!

Damn it!

You promised to make me happy.

I promised I’d protect you and that’s what I’m doing.

If you’re not happy it’s because you don’t want to.

Don’t blame me.

Oh...

Fermín, you scared me.

You know what?

I was thinking that maybe it’s a good idea

that you go back to work.

Let’s just let a couple of months pass by,

what do you think?

Yes.

Yes, it’s all right.

Look...

- It’s gorgeous. - It is, right?

Yes, it’s beautiful.

What do I have to do for you to forgive me?

I didn’t know I had...

I don’t want any more excuses.

I want to get in bed and sleep for three days

without hearing from anyone.

Surprise!

Congratulations!

- Girl, this baby is huge! - Yeah.

Let’s take the birthday picture!

- Ah, yes, photo, photo. - Come.

- Come for a picture. - Suddenly it’s...

Let’s see.

- Let’s see, I’ll take it. -Yes.

- Let’s see. - Love, come for the picture.

Come.

- Gather up. - Yes.

- Photo, photo, everyone. - Come closer.

- One... - Two...

Three.

- Eh... - Cheese!

One more, one more.

One, two...

- Let’s see it. - Making faces.

- How did it come out? - Let me see.

- Yeah? - Oops...

- Come! - What?

- Let me show you something. - Do I look okay?

What?

Ready!

What do you think?

Huh?

I made it

in your favorite color. Look.

It goes from floor to ceiling and all around...

so that you feel it embraces you.

I sent all the extra furniture down to the basement.

What is it? Don’t you like it?

I did it with my bare hands for your birthday.

You did a great job!

It’s super cool!

- Did you remodel it? - Yes.

Wow! Girl!

Look...

Ale...

You have no option but to learn how to cook.

You won’t escape now.

No, you don’t have to learn anything.

Yes you do, and learn something different

from that Paleolithic diet of yours

in which you grill everything.

I have no other choice now.

What about the music and drinks?

Let’s dance, shall we?

- Yeah, let’s dance. -Yeah!

Come, let’s go, my love.

Ale, Ale, hey, hey.

It’s so great to see you! Thank you for coming.

I missed you.

- Yeah, cheers. - Cheers!

Cheers! Happy birthday!

- Try it. - Cheers!

Yeah!

We miss you.

Let’s dance!

All the way to the bottom!

Yeah!

Shot, shot! Shot, shot!

All the way to the bottom!

Alejandra...

It’s time for the kid to go to bed, isn’t it?

Yeah, it’s late. Let’s go.

- Yeah, let’s go. - Yes, let’s go.

Thank you so much, Ale.

- See you. - My friend.

Thanks so much for coming.

- Well, congratulations. - Thank you.

See you.

Bye.

It was me.

It was me who organized the party,

who made the whole plan, who did everything,

and not one gesture of gratitude from you.

You left me aside the whole party.

And your friends are so impolite!

You go with them to dance, to laugh.

Do you think I didn’t hear you?

That I didn’t hear that you said you’d leave with him?

They’re cheeky, Alejandra. Cheeky.

They come here and eat for free.

They didn’t even thank me. They drank for free.

Man! At least Fermín, thanks for the invite.

It was a nice party. Something!

You won’t bring them here again.

- Fermín... - Never, Alejandra.

They thanked you.

Nothing.

And that guy,

your friend’s boyfriend. What about him?

You bring him home and dance with him in my face!

All you want is to humiliate me in front of everyone!

He’s not her boyfriend.

- Who is he? - Violeta’s husband.

That’s not true! You’re disgusting, Alejandra!

Disgusting!

So disgusting!

You’re of no use as the boy’s mother.

You’re useless as a wife.

You know what you’re useful for?

To go and laugh and dance with them!

To enjoy life, right?

I didn’t organize the party.

I didn’t even want a party.

- Shut up! - No, please.

No!

- Come here. -Please, you’re hurting me.

- Come here. -Don’t hurt me, I beg you.

- Bring the kid. - Fermín.

- Bring the kid. - No...

Come, come my love.

Come, come here, love.

- Come here. - I beg you.

I’m begging you, our son is here.

Don’t hurt us.

What are you doing? You’ll hurt us.

Fermín please, I’m begging you. Listen to me, let’s talk.

Listen, love, we have our son.

Fermín, what are you doing?

Fermín, wait please.

Fermín...

Fermín...

Go inside!

Fermín...

Fermín.

Love...

Fermín.

Fermín, don’t close the door.

Love...

Love, listen to me please.

Don’t do this to your son.

This hurts me more than it hurts you.

You have to learn to be a good wife.

Fix it properly.

It can’t be loose.

- Yes. - Please.

ALE, DO YOU WANT TO COME TO DINNER AT MY PLACE?

CALL ME WHEN YOU CAN.

I’M GREAT, THANKS. FERMÍN IS VERY LOVING.

Fermín...

Fermín open the door, please.

Fermín...

David needs to eat, I need to give him water.

Fermín I need to use the restroom.

Open the door! Fermín!

Come, come, no, don’t be scared, my love.

Really, we’re playing.

What are we playing?

Can you help me find treasures here?

Gosh!

Oh!

Let’s see if this one will open.

It won’t open. Don’t worry.

Let’s play!

Let’s dance, okay?

Hey, hey, just a second.

Yes? Look, grab this.

Now, now.

I know, my love. I know.

I know you’re hungry.

I’ll pick it up in a second.

I’ll pick it up in a moment.

Yes, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Oh, now.

Let’s see.

Hey! Look!

We have a blanket to cover ourselves.

Let me cover you.

Come.

Come here.

Look, where’s David?

My love.

My love...

You smell so bad...

Let’s go upstairs so you and David can take a shower.

What’s going on, Fermín?

Why did you lock us?

Look at me!

I’m your wife.

This is your son.

I lost it when I saw you dancing with another man.

You must understand that if I organize a party for you...

it’s because I want... to spend time with you.

Not for you to push me aside like furniture.

To leave me in a corner.

It wasn’t like that.

That’s what you think.

No! It was like that!

Okay...

Let’s leave it behind, Ale.

What matters is that we’re together.

Ale...

The three of us are an enviable family.

That’s what matters.

I promise I won’t reproach

your bad behavior of the other day.

Shall we forget it?

- Yeah? - No, no, no...

- Ale! - No, no, please.

Why do you do that?

Are you afraid of me?

Ale...

It’s me.

No, Ale!

Ale...

No, my love, please.

Please.

You’re the love of my life.

The woman I’ve loved the most.

- I love you more... - No...

I love you more than I’d like,

more than I love my mother and my sister.

Don’t fear me.

Please.

Don’t be afraid.

Stop, stop.

Stop, stop.

It’s over.

- Forgive me. - It’s over.

Forgive me if I hurt you. Forgive me.

I’m a jerk.

I have to feed David.

What’s wrong, baby?

What’s wrong?

Bars?

Look...

They’re the nicest ones I found in the flower market.

They’re for you.

You don’t know what happened.

I heard there was a burglary at the Robles’ home...

Two blocks away from here.

We have very expensive furniture, Ale.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to you

or to David, anything.

While I’m not here, I don’t know.

I love you.

You... love me?

They won’t fit in that jar.

No. Love? Love...

Uh...

I’ve been thinking...

And...

I don’t know. I think...

It would be a...

a good idea...

For you to go and...

and...and see a psychologist.

I don’t know, someone who...

who can help you...

control this...

this anger that...

that is consuming you and...

and is hurting me.

And David.

Sometimes, uh...

this anger goes...

into your head like memories...

and suddenly it explodes.

Sure.

Yeah.

Maybe I could go to the clinic

where they have my sister, right?

A doctor can tell me what this is.

Yes.

Yes, yes, the clinic...

It’s a good idea.

Look, this one will make you look

very, very beautiful.

That’s not my dress.

I just bought it, it’s yours..

I love this color.

I don’t know if it’ll fit me.

Of course I will fit you. It’s your size.

Why do you say that?

It’s beautiful.

Thank you.

It’s nice when you’re grateful.

Wear it.

Are you still there?

The table is set. The food is ready.

Hey!

- Oh, yes! - Why the rush?

A prince.

I’m eager to go on vacation. The three of us.

You too.

To the beach.

Look...

I think that since David has never beet to the beach

he’ll enjoy swimming in the sea.

My father took me for the first time

when I was like...

seven years old. Berta was six.

I remember perfectly well...

how much it impressed me.

Come, help me.

Then, Berta...

peed in her underwear and she ruined the moment.

- So what, woman? Yes or no? - What?

You don’t listen when I talk, right?

I don’t know why you do that. I find it disrespectful.

Sorry, I was listening.

I just didn’t understand the question.

Nothing, it doesn't matter anymore. Forget it.

Have you seen my phone?

Oh, did you lose it?

Berta.

Fermín brought me.

Is the table set right?

Did I place everything correctly?

What a surprise!

The table is perfect, it looks very nice.

Did you come for lunch?

Yeah.

Can I hold David?

I want to take care of him

- May I, Fermín? - Later.

Look at the cutlery. It’s not set properly.

Come to the table, love.

I’m starving. Everyone is.

Ale, Berta is coming to live with us.

This way you’ll have company.

I can cook...

I can make salad, I can grill meat,

not fish because...

I can’t eat it.

I can take care of David.

I can prepare his meals.

I can mash carrots, pumpkin,

- Yes, Berta... - I can mash bananas... stop!

Apples...

Serve the salad!

Ale, Berta.

You’re right, it’s good for her to have...

obligations, to feel like part of our home.

Not much salad for you.

- Yeah, uh... - Little salad for you.

I think it’s a great idea.

I could, uh...

help her for a couple of weeks...

so that she learns what to do, her duties and...

I could go back to work.

You already do so much for us.

We could use a little more money.

I think she’s not hungry.

What’s going on?

- Fermín? - Huh?

You shielded the house.

Sit down! The food will get cold.

Sit, the food will get cold

I prepared this.

From now on Berta will take care

of everything in the house, Ale.

She’ll also take David to the park.

That’s why I sealed the doors.

All you have to do is...

read, watch your favorite TV shows...

Fermín, Fermín, please, don’t do this to me.

Fermín...

I didn’t lose my phone.

You have it, right? Give it to me.

When you show me that I can trust you again...

I’ll give it back.

Love, come!

Alejandra...

let Berta do it.

- I’ll go! I’ll go! - Please.

All you have to do now is enjoy.

Enjoy! What a blessing!

- Please, I’m begging you. - How many women...

- would love to be in your place - Please, listen,

don’t do this to me, Fermín, please, I’m begging you.

Alejandra...

It will get cold.

What the fuck are you doing?

Why?

You’re not capable of opening a door.

Are you dumb or what?

No, I can.

Don’t leave the keys on sight.

What this slut wants is to run away

with her boyfriend from the hardware store.

She thinks I didn’t notice.

Don’t leave the phone lying around.

- Is it clear? - I won’t leave...

- Yes... - Good.

No, I’ll keep the keys in my purse.

Are you up?

No.

¿No, what?

No.

I’m going to work.

I’ll go to the workshop.

I’ll be late. Don’t wait up.

You know what? Wait up.

Wear something nice for me.

Hey, I think you wanted to bring that dog with you, right?

I also wanted to.

We have to ask for permission, David.

We can’t just bring him like that.

Come, I need to change your diapers.

Let me carry you.

I’ll carry you carefully.

Yeah.

Let’s change your diaper.

The nicest boy.

Let’s change your diaper and go to sleep.

I think you want to sleep.

Oh, 55, 25...

13...

No! You must not call.

- Berta... - I’ll lock you.

I’ll lock you in there.

- Go! Go! - Berta, Berta...

- Listen to me - You must not use the phone.

- Go there! - Berta!

- Go! Go! - Please!

I have to lock you in there!

- Please! - No! No!

When I tell my brother everything that happened...

- Berta, please - he’ll be very mad at you.

Berta, Berta.

Oh, hi...

Yes, brother.

He had a great time in the park.

Yeah.

I’ll tell her, yes.

You have to look nice

to go out for dinner.

Look nice.

My brother says you have to

wear something nice to go out for dinner

with him when he gets back.

He’ll punish you when I tell him.

How am I supposed to get ready if I’m locked in here.

Uh...

I don’t know, I don’t know...

But he’ll punish you.

Berta...

Listen to me...

You must read a story to David.

He loves short stories.

No, no, no, because...

I... can’t...

I can’t read fluently.

It doesn’t matter.

I, I’ll teach you how to read, okay?

Go, go and get him.

Bring David and we’ll read to him together.

She’ll teach me.

“Marcelino the snail,

welcomed autumn.”

“He said:

go slowly, autumn.

I must get to my hideout

because winter is coming

and the snow...

will fall."

Do you want me to teach you how to read?

- I know how to read. - Oh.

Sna...

Snai...

Snail

Marce the sna....

Marcelino the Snail.

Marcelino the Snail.

Very good.

Very good, Berta.

Did you see, love?

Your aunt Berta reads so well.

I’ve been dealing with you my whole life!

You’re not even useful for this!

- I told her - What did you tell her?

I told her it was wrong.

But she didn’t call.

How the fuck do you know she didn’t?

- How if you are stupid? - I told her that...

- she should dress up. - You’re stupid,

I’ve dealt with you my whole life.

They don’t even want you at the clinic.

I have to deal with you.

You’re a pain in the ass.

Don’t get scared, okay?

Come.

Come, come, David.

Come.

No, no, leave me alone!

Leave me! Stop!

Oh, no! Stop!

- Please - Go ahead!

You’re hurting me. Stope, please.

No, no, let me go.

I’ll teach you how to be a good wife.

Let me go, please.

Let me go, no, no.

You’re hurting me, stop...

Will you learn to respect me?

You must be a decent woman.

My little boy.

- Berta! - Yes.

I’m leaving.

Uh huh.

Have a nice day.

What do you have to do?

Oh, yes!

Oh, yes.

Alejandra...

Let’s go!

Let’s go.

I must lock you in so I can take David to the park.

Let’s go, let’s go.

I’m coming.

I’m coming.

Are you sick?

You look sick.

- Berta... - Come, let’s go.

No one cares about your opinion.

Let’s go.

Take your spoon.

Come, come.

Hey, family!

- Hello. - How are you?

Oh, it smells great.

Good.

Who’s that prince?

Who’s that prince who wants to drag his playpen?

How are you?

Berta... everything was fine today.

- Yeah? - Great.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello.

Come.

Come.

I brought you something.

Look.

Oh, a gift!

- Huh? - How nice!

I also want a gift.

You’ll get one when you’re good, Berta.

- I’m already good. - Yeah, but more.

I need more. Leto’s see...

Turn around.

I’ll put it on.

This hair.

When I met you your hair was this long.

Let’s see, come.

Leave that, pig!

Leave it there! Sweep it! Go and get a room.

Why do you stare at me, Berta?

Get something to clean it.

I’M FINE, PLEASE...

DON’T BOTHER ME ANYMORE.

I can’t get it right.

- It’s fine. - No.

Do you want me to help you?

- Yes. - Yeah?

It’s fine but if we do this...

E... f.

Uh huh.

Yes.

Huh? Very nice. We’ll do this...

letter I.

Let’s do it.

Slowly.

Happy birthday, Fermín.

Oh...

Oh...

What did you put in it?

It’s horrible.

Go and fix it.

Your gift, Ale?

We did it together for you.

Man...!

What a shitty pretext.

- Alejandra. - Don’t say shit.

Go and fix it. Go!

Come here!

It was enough for you to say...

that you were the gift.

Come!

Come!

Ale...

My love...

Berta...

Where is...

Would you like to be a mom?

You’ll be great at it.

I would have liked to... Wait more.

I don’t know...

to fell that...

it was the right time.

But Fermín imposed himself on me.

And now we have David.

He really wanted a baby.

We should...

have more flowers in the house, shouldn’t we?

Ale, why did you hurt yourself?

Berta...

We deserve something better than this.

This is no life.

But Fermín takes care of me.

Come.

Look how nice you look with these.

Right?

If you let me...

I can protect you from now on.

You have blood on you.

Come! I’ll heal you.

- Come! - Let me go!

- But... - Don’t treat me like an idiot!

Alejandra!

You’re my wife, you have to take care of me!

- Yes, yes, I... - Fuck!

I don’t know which one of you is a greater idiot!

- I’ll do it. - I’m sick of you.

- Berta, are you okay? - Yes, yes.

Come, come, calmly.

I wanted to help with his hand.

Easy, it’s over.

It’s over, calm down!

Easy.

- I’ll do it slowly. - Uh huh.

This ointment won’t hurt.

On the contrary, it will help with the pain.

- Does it hurt? Are you okay? - A little, yes.

No, no, no.

It will help, it will help.

Oh!

Now, now. It’s for the swelling

so that it doesn’t hurt.

Here.

Take this pill.

Don’t cry.

Come here.

You’re very good, Berta, please don’t cry.

No, no...

No, I do everything wrong.

That’s why he always punishes me.

No! You do everything right.

You do everything right.

He’s just angry.

He’s angry at me.

And me.

What did you do wrong?

Nothing.

Berta...

Berta, you must lend me the phone so we can ask for help.

It’s help for him, Berta.

So that he doesn’t hurt himself anymore.

Did you see his hands, how he hurt himself?

Oh, 55... 40...

Let’s see, calm down.

Violeta’s phone is 55...

90... 90.

55, 90, 4...

Who are you calling?

Oh, no!

- Who do you need to call? - Don’t hit.

Don’t hit. Don’t hit.

- Don’t hit. - Shut up!

Berta, I’m sick of you! Shut up!

Why are you not yelling anymore?

Go ahead! What were you saying?

Your peace starts now.

Ready!

Let’s go.

Should we wait for Fermín?

Fermín will...

stay and take care of the house. You know how he is.

Let’s go.

ALEJANDRA, BERTA AND DAVID RAN AWAY

AND NO ONE EVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN.

SOME TIME LATER, FERMIN’S LIFELESS BODY WAS FOUND.
