Hello.

My day was going so well...

Even if we have a deal, I'll admit I don't like having to

see you so often.

To be honest, you're the last person I expected to see today.

Did something happen? Did your plans change?

Uh-huh.

Life gives us a lot of twists and turns,

and everything changes all of a sudden.

What's all this show for?

Are you going to tell me you regret it?

To be completely honest,

believe me, the worst decision I've made in my life

was to leave you and Bernardo alone.

I knew it.

I knew you'd regret it.

I shouldn't have trusted someone like you.

Who came to my house weeping like a baby.

I'll make good on my promise, lady Salua.

I'm here to tell you that Bernardo is all yours.

That my husband is a free man.

Write it down on my account, Gallo. Thank you.

Cheers, man.

Cheers, man.

And well, as I was telling you, what else could he expect?

He had it coming.

No, bro, the truth is, you made a big deal out of it.

Really, with that warrant, they would have hit you with what,

20 years?

Let's see, kidnapping, inappropriate abuse of a corpse,

you took a money that wasn't yours, and you stole a

motorcycle too, brother.

Son of a bitch.

Now that I think about it, bro, really...

Damn, man, I need better friends, brother.

And you, dickface? You didn't do anything, I did it all by

myself?

But you know the only good thing?

I don't have a lawsuit against me, neither here, nor in

Barranquilla, nor anywhere.

You're a good guy, brother, really.

Man, what do you mean good?

Diana doesn't want to see me.

And did you talk to her yet, brother?

What part of "she doesn't want to see me" haven't you

understood?

Since the day of the appointment, I haven't heard

from her again.

The appointment you didn't show up to, let me tell you, excuse

me.

Worth the clarification, brother, seriously.

They don't even want to see my face in her own house.

But...

Her friends, her friends, who loved me so much, now see me as

their worst enemy.

But bro, that's what my grandmother Josefina used to say,

"dip a finger and shit will be all over the hand."

You couldn't have fucked this shit up more.

And you, I come here to talk to you as a friend, but you seem

to be my enemy.

Go fuck yourself, too, man.

Ma'a salama.

Because...

Since you say this is the last time we'll see each

other, then, good luck.

I guess it's the final goodbye.

You guess right.

Well, if you need some money or whatever

so you can go far away, I'll gladly give it to you.

No, thank you.

Well, as you wish.

In any case, I hope you keep your word

and that we never see each other again.

Don't worry. When I tell Bernardo everything...

he won't want to hear from me again.

I hope so.

I hope so.

If there's nothing else to talk about, I don't want to waste

your precious time.

Besides, I have a lot to celebrate.

You know what? Yes.

I ask that you take good care of him.

And that you love him.

Bernardo is a good man and he deserves the best in life.

You know what? I'll make good on that.

Don't cry.

Don't worry.

I'm going to be the best thing that's ever happened to him.

He's going to be immensely happy with me.

Oh, and you? His saddest and darkest memory.

Imagine that.

It seemed like the Earth had swallowed her.

It had been a few days, and she was nowhere to be found.

And it's not that her friends or her relatives had told me...

She was just not in town.

Besides, I did have informants.

But one day, she came back.

Like that, just as I'm telling you.

She came back and by her own means.

But what was going to happen from then on,

I would have preferred a thousand times that she hadn't

come back.

In fact, I would have preferred never to see her again in my

life.

Diana! Diana Ávila!

Why don't you want to answer anything?

At least tell me if the kid and you are okay.

Diana, you're unrecognizable.

What's wrong with you? I don't know you.

But don't forget that I'm your husband and you're my wife.

Diana, I know you're here killing and eating from the dead,

because I couldn't be at the appointment.

It doesn't matter.

What do you mean it doesn't matter, honey?

I already apologized for that.

Nothing, Bernardo.

But why do you call me Bernardo?

Call me "Yepes", at least, because dreaming and hoping to

be called "love" is impossible.

WE are impossible! That's impossible!

No, come here, don't say that, my love.

How are you going to say that we are impossible?

It's a matter of putting our will into it, of putting a

little bit of you, a little bit of me,

and that's it, and we give each other a chance.

Do it for him, for that kid who's on his way.

No.

Honey, but then what do you want to do, huh? Tell me.

Do you really want to know?

Well, with that face, I don't know if I do.

To live our lives.

I want that too, honey.

Each on our own, Bernardo.

That's what I want.

But, babe...

What do you want, Bernardo?

Don't you realize everything that's happened?

Don't you realize?

Do you want us to end up hating each other for the rest of our

lives? Is that what you want?

Why would we end up hating each other?

We can love each other.

It's just a matter of giving each other a chance.

Besides, that kid who's on his way,

needs his dad.

I'm going to pick up my things.

But what things are you going to pick up?

He needs his mom too!

I say that none of that is true.

But if I can be there to help you...

Is all this because I didn't say what I had to tell the

police?

Because I didn't listen to you?

Because of the money, huh?

Or just because I wanted to fulfill my grandfather's only

dream,

even if he was dead and take him to see the Barranquilla

Juniors?

Oh, I know.

It's because I shoehorned Mañe into our honeymoon, right?

I don't care, the truth is that you're not going anywhere, you

hear?

And I had to say it and I did, goddammit, because that kid is

also mine!

You're not going to let me go?

No, look, and I swear, my name wouldn't be Bernardo Alfonso

Yepes from Tierra Alta, Córdoba, if I let you leave without me.

Here I must interrupt with a PSA, or rather, some advice for

all those interested.

You can't challenge women.

Much less like I did with my girl.

I did it in an animalistic, beastly, primitive way.

So my girl...

Girl? Ex-girl.

Ex-wife.

I don't even know how to call this thing.

Do you want to know the truth?

That's what I've been waiting for more than half an hour.

Well, but you have to promise me that you will take it calmly.

Hey, I'll take it calmly if you want.

Just don't leave me, my love.

But why not?

Because I love you, girl.

Because I can't live without you.

Hey, much less now, knowing that a kid is on its way, hey.

It's true what the doctors say.

That when women are pregnant, their hormones are all

over the place, hey.

So with that, you have to understand that there is no

pregnancy.

That I don't have a baby in my womb.

That I don't believe. That's bullshit, because there is a

pregnancy test, Mañe himself told me he saw it.

Besides, how do you explain you feeling sick all the time, that

you looked like a chicken without its head? Do you want

me to keep going?

Well. Fine... I'm going to tell you the truth.

Tell me the truth, or tell me that great truth that I've been

wanting to know for a while now.

I know you're sensitive and I understand what you're going

through, I just want you to know that this is not bullshit.

You're not my son's father.

No, I'm really impressed with that ability of yours?

What ability?

Acting. Or writing. Because not even Gabriel García Márquez

dared as much.

You wish you were him.

It's just that, it's simple. If I'm not the father, then what?

You got pregnant by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Or tell me, who is the father?

Mañe.

Mañe?

My friend?

Mañe, my brother?

No, man, no.

Or what?

No, man, there's no other Mañe here, the only Mañe is him.

Bernardo.

I'm sorry, but that's the only truth there is.

Mañe?

Emanuel Navarro.

He's been my friend for a long time.

Mañe? He was my blood.

My best and only friend.

My accomplice, my confidant, my soul mate, man.

How was I going to believe or imagine that he was going to

repay me in that way?

No, and at first I thought that Diana was doing all this simply

because I had

shoehorned him in our honeymoon.

But, no.

Then, things started to come into place.

And then, it got difficult.

But can you imagine it if were me who ran into an old

love or anything like that?

Why are you laughing? -Because your only love is me. -Well,

but I could've had a side piece, someone, a "nobody".

Wait, wait there, honey. No offense. Salua is not

a "nobody", not really.

Oh, imagine I were with Mañe? Like that, just casually.

Where is he?

With his lover. -Lover? - Yes, the one he runs away

with every time he can.

That one.

Mañe?

Let's go, my love?

Let's go, my love.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hold on there!

Yepes?

Bro!

Oh, what are you doing here?

Well, bro, Diana, your wife is my lover and

that's why we're here.

Manuel!

Mañe, get out of there, goddammit!

Let's see, man, what's with the yelling, brother?

They're going to hear you all the way to San Antero, bro.

Let's see, what am I good for?

What are you good for?

To mess with my woman, goddammit.

My teeth!

I wanted to grab him by the neck right there

and choke him all the way up!

And beat him up

and leave him there, on the ground.

Hey, I felt betrayed.

I felt empty.

Fuck, and as everything was moving forward, instead of

clearing up, things got worse.

Or not? Well, yes, they were clearing up, of course.

Because that couple had deceived me more than a

politician on a campaign trail, goddammit.

You know what? Don't say anything, goddammit.

The evidence is blunt, man.

What evidence, brother?

For example, why did you know about the pregnancy before I did?

Because, the thing is that I found these tiny soaps, right?

And I went to put them in her bag and that's when I realized.

And boom!

And boom! You wanted to put it in, too!

What were you doing in a motel with her, goddammit?

No, no, no, because, because, because...

No, no, no, no, no!

Didn't you say you were going to Barranquilla,

that you were leaving and weren't coming back?

That's what I said!

You said it!

And that bullshit!

That you had found the love of your life!

Fuck!

Calm down, calm down, brother, calm down!

Look, calm down, this is too much, brother.

The thing is that...

My girl's love...

wasn't true.

It was a man!

You think I'm a faggot?

Calm down!

Believe me!

His name is...

Jason Alberto.

Shut up, goddammit!

Enough, enough, calm down!

I'm your best friend!

Best friend?

The one that cuckolds me?

Calm down!

I'm your best friend.

I don't know why your wife told you that.

My wife or our wife?

Your wife.

Brother, I'm telling you, she'll have to hold it in front

of me,

because I'm not an idiot, and you know that

when I'm angry, I'm angry.

What happened?

She's not here, she left.

Her friend said she's not coming back.

What else did she say?

Well, how can I tell you... that... that supposedly,

I'm the father, brother?

If you want, beat me up again, kill me, brother.

But how can you even think that?

And from where?

Do not worry.

I'm the one thirdwheeling here.

Come here, bro, come here.

It's just, from where, brother?

Oh, old man, you must be so happy up there.

You finally found her, your old lady.

And you must be seeing the mess I have down here.

Oh, grandpa, you don't know how much I miss you.

I wish you were here with me,

so you could brighten things up a little, so I could know what

to do...

I love you, and I miss you a lot more.

As always, old man Pompi never let me down.

Even after he died, he made me understand that I was never

going to be alone.

Hi.

We can't even... speak to each other?

It's not that we can't, Salu. It's just that we have nothing

to talk about.

I don't think your wife will get mad or anything like that,

because...

Let's just say she's not your wife anymore.

A little birdie told me everything that's happened

between you two, and...

Must have been a big bird.

He's gossipy, and spread that rumor all over Córdoba.

My girl. They must be destroying her.

So cute.

After all that has happened, you still call her "my girl."

You are a very noble being.

Sorry, Salua.

Hey, look, look. In any case, I think it's good.

I would too like for a man to, imagine,

defend me in that way, with so much impetus.

Well, of course, it's not like I need it or anything. Because,

sorry, but we're not all the same.

Okay. Message received. Thank you.

But I didn't come here for that, obviously.

I came here because the day Papa Pompi was being buried,

I promised you that I would help you.

I don't want that to just be words. Really.

I also told you that same day that I didn't need your help.

Thank you.

But I'll tell you something, Bernardo.

Fine.

I just have a great opportunity

that I think you should accept right now.

Maybe it'll never happen again.

I have a vacancy in one of my family's warehouses.

In fact, it's the biggest warehouse in Córdoba.

As I promised.

So if you're interested, it's yours.

Think about it, okay? Think about it.

In any case, I hope you don't take too long

because you could miss the opportunity.

Okay? That's all.

Take care, Berni.

I didn't have anything to say, and I didn't have anything to

complain about either.

It's just that I had asked my grandfather with so much faith,

with so much devotion,

to illuminate my path, to give me a little light to make a

good decision.

And my old man didn't take even a minute, to set my path on

fire.

It's just that, how could I ignore that?

Salua, Salua. Is it too soon to tell you that I already thought

about it?

Or do I have to wait a week, I don't know, a month, maybe?

Well, that depends, because whatever it is that you have

decided,

well, there is no turning back.

You know, like the say, I'm already selling my soul to the

devil.

Just like that, mijo, but if I were you, I'd risk it, because

you have a lot to gain.

But come on, boy, talk.

What do I have to do to put on the uniform?

Well, I'm not going to lie to you because it's five

very hard days, especially when you have to

do inventory, but I promise you that on weekends...

No, man, what weekends?

I can work here seven days a week if you want! In fact, I

can be there in the office

24/7 as they say out there. It's just that, with everything

are offering me, Salua...

But Berni,

if maybe you think that what we are paying you is too little, I

can increase it.

I can increase it and...

Well, I don't think more than double is going to be possible...

That's what I was telling you.

Because if you want to increase it a little bit, I won't get

angry.

Oh, well.

Well, then...

If you like what I'm offering you and you like the warehouse...

Say less.

The position is yours.

I mean, I do like the idea and all, but I

have a question, Salua.

Well, more than a question, it's a doubt.

I'm all ears.

If I take the job, does that mean I have any obligations?

Well, Berni.

Employees have to meet deadlines.

No, I mean an obligation with you.

You and me. Do you understand me?

I see.

Between you and me...

...nothing will happen that you don't want to happen.

You know it, let's go for it!

Long gone were the days of so much need.

Damn, when I had to work in whatever job I could.

It was either that, or starving.

But I wonder, people sometimes do deserve a second chance.

And if Salua had given it to me, why couldn't I give it to her?
