Original subtitles

I never thought I would have the guts to do this, but

here I am, moving to a place where I don't know anybody.

And... it's scary, but mostly exciting.

That's the Mediterranean.

There's... I don't know, there's so much little white boats.

And... the port.

It's almost like you can feel the good energy coming from the city, you know?

It's kind of weird, I guess, but...

I can't wait to be a part of it.

Where's the water?

Here I go.

Hi.

Ah, cooking.

Why don't you come on in, I'll show you Maddie's room.

How do you know who I am?

The way Maddie talks?

Well, she used to talk about you.

Come on.

Hey, she's not dead.

I know that she's not dead.

Hey.

Hey babe, how was your trip?

Exhausting.

Too many layovers.

I'm staying in Maddie's room and it's full of weird stuff.

Uh, what kind of weird stuff?

I don't know.

Weird stuff.

Um... Like photos of her with strange people.

It just feels like someone else's room.

Babe, is looking at something on your phone?

Jesus.

I'm sorry, I just got this email from my sister about my parents' anniversary party.

And shit, you're going to miss the organization meeting.

Can I Skype you on Tuesday?

I'm dealing with the fact that my sister's gone missing in a foreign country,

so your parents' anniversary party is not exactly my top priority right now.

Of course, I'm sorry.

You're totally right.

Uh, so I went to the police today.

They looked at me like I was crazy, which was irritating.

That's good news.

That means nothing serious happened.

Did you show them Maddie's email?

Yeah, but I told you, Maddie doesn't write like that.

It's not her style.

What if someone is impersonating her?

Babe, I'm sure she's just having a digital detox.

You know, so Maddie's roommate was Guy Michael.

He makes me uncomfortable.

A chef?

He's American, isn't he?

Like, there aren't any creepy American guys?

Plus, he smells like garlic.

Paisley, he's a chef.

He just... looks at me funny.

What do you mean funny?

Look, Paisley, try to get a little rest.

You look stressed.

Babe, why is everyone treating me like I've gone crazy?

I have something for you.

You startled me.

I found this in the laundry basket after Maddie left.

It's a creamy mushroom risotto with red peppers.

What is the meaning of a hangover?

Is it maybe that when we get drunk, we see certain truths

about the world and a hangover is our price to pay?

Or... maybe I'm still drunk.

Sigh...

Ah, thank you.

I'm going to have this one.

Sorry, excuse me.

Oh my god, you're Paisley.

So nice to meet you.

Oh my god, you smell so good.

What perfume do you use?

I should totally buy some perfume for myself.

You know when you hug someone and you get this clean smell all of a sudden?

I'm sorry.

Who are you?

Oh my god, you must think I'm a crazy woman.

I'm Kelly.

I work with Maddie and she always talks about you.

So cool, you're finally here now.

You want a coffee?

Maybe a water?

Let's go.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Who's that woman in the black dress?

Oh, you mean Julia?

She's always wearing these super sophisticated clothes.

Looks like a lot of work.

I wonder how she does it each morning.

She's our Spanish teacher.

She comes twice a week to teach the foreigners soft Spanish.

She's also one of the broken hearts that Maddie left her in Barcelona.

You must have Maddie mistaken for someone else.

My sister's not like that.

Like what?

What do you mean?

Maddie's not into women.

That's so not her thing.

I mean, she hasn't even had a serious boyfriend.

So, what do you mean serious boyfriend?

Serious, like someone you're in an exclusive relationship with for a long time.

How long?

Like when do you start considering it serious?

I don't know.

I don't know, like six months.

But it's not just about time.

It's someone you introduce to your family.

Someone you take to your friends' weddings.

Someone you imagine a future with.

Sounds thrilling.

What kind of future?

A serious future.

Oh my gosh, you're such a mess.

I remember Maddie's first day at the office.

She looked a little bit like you right now.

You can't touch that.

You scared me.

You're the new intern, right?

Yeah, I'm Maddie.

Hi, I'm Callie.

Welcome to Lust.

Where is everyone?

Ah, they're in this activity, these dancing lessons.

During work?

Yeah, it's for Team Dynamics.

Well, why aren't you there?

I was feeling really sick.

I think I ate something really bad at the Japanese place last night that I went to.

But I decided to come in for a few hours.

I thought you started on Monday.

Yeah, I do.

I just figured I'd come by and check everything out.

Oh, beautiful.

Let me show you the place.

Okay.

Yeah?

These are the main rooms where they do marketing, press, graphic design.

IT.

And this is where production issues are managed.

So we deal with guest directed shoots, upcoming shoot schedules.

I work there.

I'm the talent manager.

I take care of casting, sexual health testing.

A lot of stuff actually.

Nice styles.

Oh yeah, very typical of Barcelona.

You know, modernism.

Let's go check out Erica's office.

Yeah?

She's the boss.

Are we even allowed to be in here?

Come on, it's not like we're stealing anything.

Look at the frescoes.

Looks like this used to be the apartment of a really wealthy family.

It's kind of funny that now it hosts a porn production company.

Yeah, but not any porn.

No, it's like you can feel the good energy in here.

There's no deranged ghosts or anything.

I think I hear the girls.

Come, I'll introduce you.

Okay.

Yeah?

Babe, I really need you to tell me if you're going to help out with my parents'

Ruby Jubilee.

My sister is a bit overwhelmed with everything.

I get that you're worried about Maddie, but I mean, she sent an email, right?

I know that you think kidnappers could have forced you to

write it, but honestly that idea is a little bit out there.

And so is your sister, no offense.

So I think you should leave her to her new life and come back.

I love you.

Call me.

Super nice.

Hey, come.

Hey, what's up?

What's up?

Oh, this is Maddie, the new intern.

Nice to meet you.

What you got in that box?

Well, we have a problem.

We got a box of dildos, but we only have four.

How are you feeling, by the way?

More or less.

Yeah, how was dance?

Okay, so who's getting the dildos?

Shall we raffle?

Let's do it.

Maddie, do you want to join?

And the first one goes to...

Maddie.

Thank you, guys.

Girl, it's not rock, it's science.

We're all going for a drink after work.

Want to come?

It's Friday.

Yeah, I'd love to.

Yeah, let's go.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers, guys.

How is it, vegan?

Mm-hmm.

I dig on your face.

I still have this reaction where it's like, yeah, people

come in, and then they're like, Kelly, and I'm like...

Oh, no, no, wait.

I mean, I work in a foreign office.

Like, I don't have to, like... Likely.

Well, they're always asking me, like, do you act?

Like, can I be in a movie?

And I'm like, no, dude.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, Maddie.

Maddie.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, Maddie.

What the fuck is going on in this place?

Maddie.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Maddie?

Maddie?

Are you here?

Maddie, baby, are you all right?

You good?

Yeah.

I maybe had too much to drink, but it's maybe the heat.

Let me get you some water, okay?

Yeah.

Everybody leaves their windows open here, because it's so hot.

And the air is kind of filled with all kinds of sounds.

Neighbors fighting, neighbors laughing, neighbors singing karaoke.

Actually, I think one of our neighbors has a...

I'm writing a book.

Cool.

Is everything okay?

You had something going on with my sister.

Yeah.

Why does that bother you?

Because she disappeared.

Okay.

I guess I don't get the connection.

What did you do to her?

Paisley, your sister and I did all sorts of things to one another.

Michael, please.

This is serious.

I would love to believe that I had such a profound

effect on Maddie, but I just don't think that's the case.

I don't believe you.

In my opinion, it was your conservative family that

drove Maddie away from the States in the first place.

She came to Barcelona.

She was able to be herself.

She found happiness.

Which is why I suggest you relax and stop thinking about it.

What do you mean she found happiness?

I need you to make me understand.

Please.

Please.

Okay.

Have a seat.

Shit.

I'm sorry.

I thought I would kill you.

I think I lost my keys again.

That's the second time this month you've lost your keys.

And you're paying for it this time.

You don't need to be so aggressive.

Don't look at me like that.

You're reminding me of my father.

Maddie, I don't know what your deal is.

It's none of my business.

But when you lose your keys, it affects me.

So act like a fucking adult, okay?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

You're right.

I was just... I was treated like a kid a lot growing up.

So I'm kind of behind.

I have a lot of catching up to do maybe.

I don't... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You know what?

I'm gonna make you some pasta.

But you still have to pay for that lock change.

It's really good.

You're very talented.

But when I see someone enjoying it so much as you are, it really makes it worthwhile.

Okay.

You seem like a very intelligent and capable person.

Why were you so sheltered?

You don't know my parents.

I mean, if you asked them how babies were born to this day, they would probably say

that a store went to drop them off at your porch.

So... They mean well.

They're just uptight.

That's how they are.

Yet they were okay with you coming to Barcelona?

I mean... I don't want to die without having really lived.

You know?

I want to go skydiving and take ayahuasca and meet

interesting people and go on adventures with them.

I want to be Anaïs Neen and I want to be Lauren Bacall and I want to really live.

What?

Nothing.

No.

What?

I'm sorry.

I should not have done that.

Maybe I should have done that.

You smell so nice.

May I?

So beautiful.

Lay down.

Take a seat.

There we go.

I don't know what is in the middle of this thing.

You're too distracted.

Like a tablecloth.

You okay?

Do you want to stop?

Should I go get a condom?

I just got tested last week and everything was okay?

No, it's not that.

I don't have that much experience with guys.

I've only had sex a few times with a guy in college.

Was it that bad?

I never came.

Okay, that has got to go on the list of things you do before you die.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

That's going to be fun.

Okay.

You may.

Did your college friends at least go down on you?

No.

We should start there.

Okay.

So pretty.

Oh my god.

Shhh.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Don't stop.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I think maybe I'm going crazy.

I just had sex with someone I barely know.

Someone I share a flat with.

I mean, is he going to still respect me?

Is he going to think I'm just a slut?

Do I have to find somewhere new to live?

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

What's up?

Somebody called for you while you were in the shower.

The name was Jonas.

What did he say?

He said, call me.

Bit of a weirdo, huh?

Thanks for the message.

Hey, those colors look really great on you.

Want some?

No, thank you.

Shame.

It's an amazing Jumilla.

So, what exactly do you want to know?

Is my sister a lesbian?

So, have you ever shot porn before?

Well, just a few amateur movies with some friends in Berlin.

They are quite artistic, but shot with very few resources.

Okay, and why do you want to work for Erika?

Well, because I like what you do, I guess.

It turns me on.

It makes me feel like I'm watching real films.

I am very much into vintage erotic films, like

that movie where Jani has sex with a monster.

It's such a weird scene, but still so powerful.

It's dark, but sexy.

It's brilliant.

That film is so good.

Possession, right, Zalowski?

Yeah, that one, right.

I guess I must see it.

Sure, totally.

One thing that you must be aware of is that when your image is in a film,

and that film goes online, the image will stick with you forever.

Are you ready for that?

Yeah, yeah.

I think I'd be proud, actually.

Yeah?

That's good.

Sorry.

Hey, you two.

Our class starts in five minutes.

I thought it was tomorrow.

Oh, are you sure?

I think so.

Yeah.

Oh, no, mierda.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

It's my fault.

But I can't tomorrow.

I have a group in school.

Maybe you could come after work to my office today?

I can.

I got really dirty practice.

I can come today.

Where are you from?

I am from Estados Unidos.

Good.

What do you do for a living?

I do cinema.

Well, I want to study.

I want to do films.

In Spanish?

I do cinema.

Okay.

I'm ridiculous.

Do you want to learn something maybe more amusing?

Like what?

Like, fuck.

Like, you're a douchebag.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Ready?

Fuck.

You're an asshole.

Oh my God.

Okay.

Fuck.

Asshole.

Good.

Yeah.

Okay.

Now some pickup lines.

What does that mean?

You're beautiful.

Sexo, I understand.

And?

I like it when I bite you.

How hard?

Try me.

Nice dress.

Got it.

Well done there.

You're a quick learning student, aren't you?

Let's see.

Can I?

Yes.

I think it was easier than I thought.

Surprise.

With your hip.

Or faster.

Or slower.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm going to try again.

Do you want to?

Train.

Train?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Don't stop.

What does that mean?

What are you laughing at?

Si.

Si.

Si, si, si, si.

Si.

You're natural.

Oh no.

Don't be ashamed.

I told you.

It's an excellent wine.

Did my sister ever talk about me?

She did.

What did she say?

Did she criticize me?

No, not at all.

She felt you were the only person in the world that she could completely trust.

She admired that you work as a teacher.

She said you were very passionate about your job.

Really?

What do you teach, by the way?

English Literature.

Interesting.

I just had my first experience with a woman.

I feel like I should probably feel worse about these casual encounters, but I don't.

Julia and Michael are such beautiful human beings.

And I mean, it's not just sex without a connection.

I truly like them both.

I wish I could call Paisley and tell her about my experiences, but...

I don't think she'd understand.

Wow, I have good memories of this kitchen.

You've been here before?

Wow, really, really good memories, you know.

So, I wanted to talk to you because you were the last person to see my sister.

Oh, yeah, we went to the movies together.

And I thought we went to a wine bar where we met Julia as well.

She kind of lives there, so... Oh, you also know Julia?

Oh, yeah, I adore Julia, like, completely.

What else happened that night?

We went to a disco to dance.

There was like a cool gig by some Peruvian DJs or something like that.

And then I walked my home.

Not that she asked for it, but it wasn't my way.

You see anything strange?

No, no, not at all.

She was just happy as Larry the whole night, as usual.

How did you two become friends?

Well, you can say it was meant to be, basically.

Meant to be.

Well, I just wanted to say thank you.

For what?

I thought I was talking too much when you recommended this Lasky film.

I had a feeling I was making up full of myself.

You really helped me feel less nervous.

You didn't seem nervous at all.

Oh, it was, believe me.

Well, Kelly seemed to like you, so... I mean... Thank you, fingers crossed.

Bye.

Hey, Cassie.

Everything okay?

Did I forget anything?

Yeah, no, I just... Would you like to watch Possession with me?

On Sunday?

In my place?

Yeah, sure, definitely.

Well, see you on Sunday.

All right.

Text me the address.

Yeah, okay.

Bye.

Bye.

You know, we are always so eager to...

Hey.

Hi.

Hey.

Long time no see.

Just a few weeks, actually.

Really?

Yeah.

Feels like longer than that to me.

You two drinking lemonade?

I was telling Paisley about what happened with Maddie.

Everything?

Yeah, everything.

Oh, Maddie.

We had gone to a party.

Again?

Some people go to church, we go to parties.

Okay.

So, who went to this party?

The four of us.

Maddie, Julia, Michael and me.

Maddie had brought us together somehow.

In every possible way.

This is going to be delicious.

How are you doing?

It's not the most complicated dish I've ever made.

I'm hungry.

Okay.

I must say, you're a well endowed man, Michael.

As a chef, I mean.

Why don't you go put some vodka in that orange juice?

Do you want the churros?

Of course.

The sun, these people.

Even this churro is perfect.

How can I love a solana so much?

Do you know that in Spain, churros with churros are a metaphor for anal sex?

I don't think so.

It is.

Drinks.

Thank you, honey.

You give me life.

Thank you.

Come on, it's food for drunk people.

It's not my fault.

They're drunk.

When do you think those sandwiches are going to be done?

Why haven't we ever kissed?

No.

Okay.

It's getting hot.

Of course it is.

Thank you.

Oh, you too.

You know, it would be so hot if you two kissed as well.

I see what you're up to, little pervert.

You seem to like it.

Stop it.

Just stop.

I don't believe you people don't.

What?

No, I don't believe anything that you're saying.

Oh, come on.

No, I think you're making fun of me.

Why would we do that?

Because I'm the poor uptight English teacher who doesn't know how the world works.

While you guys are sophisticated Europeans

with your wine drinking and your party going.

I bet that you know exactly where Maddy is too.

Oh, come on.

I don't know because this is absolutely ridiculous.

Paisley.

I've heard enough.

I don't want to listen to you anymore.

Do you understand now what Maddy wanted to leave?

At least she's making an effort to understand.

That's way beyond what most people do.

Would you prefer to be left alone?

No.

Come in.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

The past few days have just been a little intense.

Would you like to know why I became Jonas' girlfriend?

Yes, tell me.

Well, I have a past.

I kissed too many boys in high school.

Well, that's because you are beautiful and brilliant.

Jonas was my best friend.

And then at prom, he told me he was worried about me.

Because people were saying that I was too slutty.

But he knew that I was more than that.

And so he wanted to be my boyfriend.

And I said yes.

So that people wouldn't call me a slut.

That's why I started dating him.

And now I am realizing what a huge mistake that was.

I never felt passionate about him.

I was just always trying to be the person my parents would be proud of.

Paisley, with all due respect, Jonas sounds like an asshole.

No, no.

He's not a bad guy.

He's just... Boring?

Don't.

No, I have to.

I have to.

It's Maddie.

It's Maddie.

Yeah, or her kidnapper.

Wait, there's a video message.

Paisley, first of all, I'm sorry.

You must have been worried sick.

But after my experiences in Barcelona, I was confused.

And I really wanted to talk to you, but I felt like you wouldn't understand.

Unless you met the people that I've been fucking and loving, and...

But I also knew that you weren't gonna just drop everything and come to Barcelona.

Unless I did something big.

Like, disappear.

I know it's a little out there, but I was hoping

you'd feel the same way about Barcelona as I do.

Julia needs more English teachers for her language school, and you need change.

Paisley, Jonas isn't your soulmate.

He'd be a lot happier with someone simpler.

You know I'm right.

I also know that you'll be staying at Michael's place.

And who knows, maybe something will happen.

You both like the same films, food, music, books.

And you both like taking care of people.

So maybe you can take care of each other for a change.

And yeah, I do mean fucking, among other things.

Paisley, fucking is the best thing in the world, okay?

Anyway, I'm out of money, so I'm gonna head home.

What an incredibly manipulative thing to do.

Maddie.

Do you like having them squeezed?

Yeah, do you?

Yeah.

You can play with them.

They're so shiny.

Mm-hmm.

Why are you so fun?

I don't know.

I don't know.

You're so warm.

So you really know what you're doing.

Your body just tells me what to do.

Okay.

I'm not in charge here.

This thing's told me.

Okay.

Don't stop.

Never would I dare.

Can I lick your butt?

Yeah.

You ever done that before?

Uh-uh.

Wait, wait, wait.

Let me see what it feels like first.

Mm-hmm.

That feels so good.

Ha-ha.

It's my spot so nice.

You sound so...

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

It's so nice.

Yeah, yeah, thank you.

How nice.

Ah!

Ha-ha.

Ha-ha.

It's so good.

I want to taste it.

Okay, okay.

Please, please, please, please.

Yes, yes, yes.

Mm-hmm.

You're so fun.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Ah!

Ah!

Mm-hmm.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Oh my God.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Oh my God!

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Yeah?

Yes.

Yes, please.

Yes, please.

Yes, please.

Oh, shut up.

I can't read my thoughts now.

No.

This is between Maddie and I.
