-[applause]
-Here we are.

How are you going to make us squirm today?
Come on, tell us.

We're going to talk about change.

Selva? Do you remember the interview
you agreed to?

What are you?

-[Elías] Lovers.
-[Malena] Lovers.

[Selva] And why did you come?

We want therapy to separate.

-You're a shitty analyst.
-[gasps]

But are you sure you went
to that university, or not?

-What about the degree?
-We just called to say hello.

And also to tell you that Aunt Evelyn
was admitted to the hospital.

[Selva's uncle] Since you talk about
relationships, how's everything at home?

-[Selva] Good.
-Uh, no.

[Selva] I want you to fuck me…

like when we were young.

Did you ever imagine
we would do so many things together?

You ruined my life.
You're completely insane.

Everything said here is a lie.

And I am a woman
who was never brave enough to love.

[sobs]

[crying] And on top of that,
today I lost the only person

who chose me unconditionally.

Selva: I'm out of patience,
and you're out of lies.

Did she graduate as a psychologist?
Yes or no?

Selva does not have a degree.

[prosecutor]
For the illegal practice of medicine,

which is the crime that you committed,

our country's criminal code
sets a sentence

of 15 days to one year in prison.

Your book is among the top ten sold.

It's a best seller.

[María] Listen up, it's important.

We were able to open Aunt Evelyn's
safety deposit box and read the will.

We should throw a party.

[glass shattering]

Psychologists must be aware
of their position

in the asymmetrical power dynamic.

Based on ethical principles and
their responsibilities as professionals,

they must refrain
from satisfying personal needs

at the expense of the rights of others.

According to the best practices framework,

they should not become sexually involved
with their patients.

That will be all.

It will?

You passed, if that's your question.

What you do with it

is up to you.

That person you first met is dead.

Let's hope so.

I won't see patients anymore,
but if I may, I'm not a monster.

I'm fully aware of what I said
to every single one of them.

If you say you're not a monster, then what
you're really saying is that you could be.

ALTERNATIVE THERAPY

[dog barking in distance]

How did it go?

Let me in, Gloria.

No. Did it go badly?

-It went fine.
-It went fine?

Yes, it went fine.

So you graduated?

Yes, I graduated. Can you let me in?

[chuckles]

What's wrong with you?

Why are all the lights off?

[door closes]

[all] Surprise! [cheering]

[chanting]
Olé, olé, olé, olé, Selva, Selva!

Congratulations, graduate!

[upbeat music playing]

-Are you happy? Are you happy?
-Thank you so much.

Yes or no?

-Yes. Uh, sort of.
-Yes or no? Yes. [chuckles]

-Hey, thank you so much.
-Oh, I'm so thrilled, darling.

Sweetheart, I'm going to shout that
you graduated from the rooftops,

so those assholes will leave you alone.

Congratulations, Selvita. [kisses]

[music stops]

-[guests boo]
-[Selva] What happened?

[Gloria] We have to call an electrician.

[Gregorio]
But is something wrong with the house?

[Gloria] I don't know.
It doesn't happen to the neighbors.

-[guests cheering]
-Hey, it's back!

No! All our electronics
are going to be fried, Selva.

[Ariel] This is for Grace,
who's watching us on TV.

-Come on, people.
-I made it.

-What is this?
-Excellent, sweetie. That's fantastic.

-The graduate's frame. No. Why not?
-Yeah, come on.

[Selva's cousin] Ready?

How much time is left?

-[Selva pants]
-[Ariel grunts]

[Selva] What did I touch?

[Ariel] Careful with your hands, okay?
[grunts] They're cold.

Here, here, here. [kisses]

I'm going back in--

[grunts] There we go. [pants] There we go.

Oh, I like sleeping
with a dirty… [chuckles] …doctor.

[pants] Dirty doctor.

[chuckles]
Hold on. Lift your leg. Lift it.

[both continue panting, kissing]

[phone buzzing]

[Ariel grunts]

I have to get that. I have to--
I have to get that.

[panting, grunting]

[buzzing continues]

-[Ariel] Hello. How's it going, Claudia?
-[scoffs]

[Ariel] What do you want?

Hi, Selva. This is Lisa Mendrugo.
You've probably never heard of me.

I have a small website
for stories on culture.

It's online, obviously,
because, well, it's a website.

Anyway, I have a podcast too. And
I write reviews. I do it all by myself.

And a while back
I wrote a piece on your book.

In support of it,
totally in support of it. I loved it.

The response to my piece was great.
In fact, I was invited to--

I don't want to bore you.

I just wanted to say that
I'd love to interview you.

I know you're not doing interviews,
so, yeah…

But it would be different with me. This is
my personal number. Call me anytime.

I hope you're doing well.

You don't want me to go
to the supermarket with Ariel?

No, no. I'll go. I'll go.
Go and clean the pool.

It turns out having a pool is worse
than sneezing with diarrhea.

Oh, Gloria.

Why don't we go back to the capital?

Don't you miss the noise, the pollution,

all the people packed
into places like sardines?

[birds squawking, chirping]

No.

Now that you've graduated,
you could see more patients.

Otherwise, why did you graduate?

[radio host]
Welcome back to Morning Gateway,

the show that brings us together
on a daily basis.

We're here every day, broadcasting live,

even on this cloudy morning
in Buenos Aires.

We have everything you need to know…

EPISODE 1
"NOT A MONSTER"

[person] What are you doing here?

[Ariel] What am I doing here?
I came to get the kids.

[person] No. I specifically
called you today to tell you

I don't want my children to go
to that crazy lady's house.

Claudia, no. No, no, no.
Don't make things any harder, eh?

I make things harder? No, Ariel.

You make them harder
because you never listen to me.

I've told you a thousand times that
I don't want them to go near that pervert.

That's my girlfriend you're talking about.

-[Claudia] Oh, yeah? Ariel, Ari.
-Mm-hmm.

[Claudia] The whole world
is saying it to your face.

[Ariel] You know what? She's changing.

And let me tell you something, eh?

So that you, the people around here,

and this little town of vipers
all understand--

Yesterday she completed
her final assignments, and she graduated.

[Claudia laughs] Graduated.

-I don't give a flying fuck!
-It bothers you that she has a degree.

[glass clanking]

Gloria, I brought groceries.

Gloria?

Gloria!

[gasps]

[cries]

[breathing heavily, crying]

[birds squawking, chirping]

[vehicles honking]

[sirens wail in distance]

It's a commercial space.

I mean if you want to use it
as your office.

I'd like to rent it.

[chuckles]

Given who you are,
I could bump down the price.

The owners know you.

I gave them your book.

All set.

They agreed to go down 15%.

Good.

Well, okay.

Yes, I'd like to rent it for six months.

[Lisa on phone]
Hi, Selva. It's Lisa Mendrugo again.

I meant to tell you that I can meet you
wherever is convenient for you.

At your house, a bar, wherever you want.

I forgot to tell you the most
important thing.

"The Love Thief" segment is
the most popular part of Grace's show.

[door beeps]

Miguel Ángel!

Selva.

What are you doing here?

Well, I'm delivering your food.
Back to the old gig. Can you believe that?

Yeah, I can see that.

And how are you doing?

As best I can.

My mom said you graduated. Well,
are you going to start practicing again?

No, no, no.

Then why did you get your degree?

Are you still living with your mom?

Yeah. It's a long story.

But do you like Chinese food?
Why don't you come up?

No, I can't.
I have to pedal around for another hour.

But, hey, thanks. For how you talked
about me in your book.

-Ah.
-Manuel Ángel was me, wasn't it?

Yeah.
I really miss working with you, Selva.

Uh, I still have the same cell number.
If you need anything…

[chuckles]

Thank you so much, Miguel Ángel.

Take care, Selva.

[spouse 1] …here we go.
You always need that little blue pill.

-[spouse 2] Because of you, not me.
-[spouse 1] Because of me.

[spouse 2] If I got in bed with any
of the dancers, I'd do much better.

[spouse 1 laughs] Please.

[spouse 2] I wouldn't need any help.
That's for sure.

[spouse 1 laughs]

[spouse 2 gasps]

Good evening.

You are…

-The one from that whole mess with Grace?
-Selva Pérez Salerno. How are you?

-[chuckling] Betty. How are you?
-Raúl. Pleasure to meet you.

[Selva] Likewise.

You're renting the place
from that young couple?

-I guess so.
-Our neighbor is a celebrity.

-No, you're the celebrities.
-[Betty] Oof, please.

Yes, of course, I know who you are.

[chuckles] Oh, please.

The two of us should be in a museum.
Look--

No, speak for yourself, eh?
I'm in mint condition.

Are you going up?

No, no, no. Thank you very much.
No, I wanted to introduce myself.

[Betty] What a doll.

We'll give you tickets later, so you can
come see us in our new show, eh?

[Raúl] Every Day With You.
You must see it.

You'll cry. You'll sing. You'll like it.
You'll go through all of the emotions.

[Selva] Well, thank you so much.

-Of course. I'd love to.
-[Betty] Bye.

-Goodbye, gorgeous.
-Gorgeous? You're ridiculous.

-What's the problem?
-"Gorgeous"? You called her "gorgeous."

-Please.
-You always do this in front of people.

[sobbing]

[sniffles]

[gasps]

[Gloria's voice] You need patients
as much as I need music.

Go back, Selva.

I won't go back.

Now, given all the nasty people
there are in the world,

why did you have to kill me?

Couldn't you have just called
the pool guy?

[Selva] I didn't kill you.

[echoing] Mors janua vitae.
Mors janua vitae.

Mors janua vitae.

[Lisa, on phone] Selva, what a surprise.

I couldn't believe your message.

Yes, of course I'll go with you.
I love the Mascarpones.

I'll look for you. I'll recognize you.
Awesome. I don't know. This is so great!

[chuckles] Well, all right.
Bye. Take care.

[grunting] Oh, no. What did I do?
What did I do?

[door beeps]

[beeping continues]

Oh, come on!

What do you want?

Selva?

Selva Pérez Salerno?

-Are you journalists?
-[both] No, no.

[guest 1] We need your help.
I know this might seem a little weird--

[guest 2] Yeah, the fact that
we just appear out of nowhere, but--

But the thing is we're desperate.

Besides, it's raining.

You two aren't crazy murderers, are you?

[both] No, no.

[guest 2]
We're definitely not murderers. No.

I don't have a lot of time.

That's fine.

[sighs]

[guest 1]
We thought you weren't going to let us in.

Do you mind if I put the bottle
and the glass on the table,

so they don't leave marks?

-Darío, behave yourself.
-[Darío, whispering in English] Sorry.

-[in Spanish] Just two little things?
-Yes.

[Darío clears throat]

Do you want a whiskey, Darío?

All right.

-[Selva] You?
-Serena.

[Selva] Do you want one?

Yes.

[Darío] If you could put an ice cube
in mine, please. No ice for her--

I can tell her.

No ice in mine.

[thunder rumbling]

[sighs, grunts]

[fridge door opens]

[Darío clears throat]

[Darío] Thank you.

[Serena] Thank you.

[Darío] That's good. Thanks.

[stammers]

A friend of ours, Laura,
gave us your book and…

[Darío] We need your help.

[Serena] To stop someone from leaving.

The thing is, my wife and I don't know
how to keep our partner from leaving us.

You two want to separate?

-No, no.
-No, no, no.

-No. In that sense, there's no problem.
-[Serena] No, we are-- No. No.

[clears throat] Look, here's the thing.
We're a table with three legs.

Two of the legs are fine. They're strong.

But there's this third leg that-- that's
weak, like it doesn't want to be there.

That's a metaphor.

[Serena sighing]

[both panting, moaning]

-Stop, stop, stop.
-[Serena groans]

[Serena] Oh.

-[Darío moans]
-Oh. Oh, yeah.

Right there. Just like that.

[panting, moaning continues]

[Darío sighs]

Sweetie, how's your morning going?

Oh, I have a horrible migraine.

No.

[clicks tongue]

Did you take anything?

Yeah, I took that dissolving tablet
but I don't know.

-Okay.
-It's fine.

Are you meeting with Laura today
about the house?

We're going tomorrow.

-Okay.
-Are you having dinner with Peter?

Yeah, I'm having dinner with him.

All right. See you later.

-Bye, babe.
-Bye, sweetie. Have a good day.

-Good one.
-[Darío grunts]

Good.

-Good, good. Hit--
-Ah! Shit.

-[Darío] That was a good one. Nice one.
-Let's go!

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

-Nice one.
-[player grunts]

-Take that. Take that.
-Let's go! [laughs]

All right, man.

You aren't
getting to any of them today, eh?

I wasn't serving well, and he said,
"Your bounce is great."

[player] That's why you have
two girlfriends. You asshole.

I don't know if it changed your life,
but… [laughs]

[player] He thinks… [speaks indistinctly]
…the curve ball signals.

[Darío] Serena.

[Peter] What? What about her?

[lounge music playing]

Well, let's say
we're currently going through a…

Crisis.

No, no. No-- Not a crisis exactly, but--

-Crisis.
-Yes, crisis.

-Yes. Crisis. Okay.
-A crisis.

[Peter] Mmm.

And?

We don't fuck.

Or when we do fuck, it's awful.

-And that's worse.
-It's worse.

-Much worse. Nah.
-Much worse.

Well…

[clicks tongue]

She doesn't turn you on anymore?

No. It's not
that she doesn't turn me on, it's…

I don't know, like… [sighs]
Like something's missing.

[Peter] That sucks.

How long have you two been together?
Fifteen years?

Over 12 years.

Well, sure. What do you expect?
No, it's not easy.

-[Darío] How do you do it?
-Hmm?

Not just you. How do both of you do it?
What, you guys don't have any problems?

[Peter] We have lovers.

People that we fuck, Daro.

-Yeah, yeah. I know what a lover is.
-Ah.

So yeah…

How does it work?

Laura has hers. I have mine.

That's how we do it.

But do you two…

I mean, do you two have some type of…

of code?
Like ground rules or something like that?

Of course. A code, norms, rules,
whatever you want to call it. Yeah.

We can't be with the same person twice.

We try. I say "we."

I'll speak for myself. Sometimes it works,
and sometimes it doesn't.

She says, "I'm going out," and…

and I know what's going on.

But I don't ask questions. I enjoy it.

I tell her "I'm going out," and that's it.

It changed our lives.

You know how mice are.
If they don't get any food…

[chuckles]

[birds chirping]

[person] It's beautiful, Serena.

It's perfect for you.

You'd have to give it your touch,
wouldn't you? Your vibe.

[Serena] Yeah, I love how you can feel
the aroma of the eucalyptus.

-Do you feel that?
-[person] Yes.

I don't know what's taking you so long.

This is a huge opportunity. Look at this.
It's a dream.

Look at this. It's beautiful.

Are you and Darío fucking again?

[chuckles] No.

I don't feel like talking about that,
my friend.

Okay.

I feel like renting this house. I love it.

So rent it.

With just a few improvements and
a good gardener, it will be spectacular.

I know a gardener in this neighborhood.

Let me tell you, he's very good,
and he's gorgeous.

We'd have to rent out Puerto Madero.

[clicks tongue] Ah. I'll handle that.

So you're the young couple.

-[Serena] What?
-Ah.

What do you do?

I'm a chemist.

I make fragrances for perfumes.

[Selva] You?

I work at a company that
monitors logistics management.

How exciting.

[Serena chuckles]

[both sigh]

What's wrong?

Nothing, nothing's wrong.

[sighs]

You're not attracted to me anymore?

No, Serena. No, no, no.

No, that's not it.

[sighs]

Serena,
I'd like us to open up the relationship.

We both know that we're not okay.

I know. Yeah, I know.

I don't know. I want--

I want… I don't know.
I want to experiment.

[stammers, sighs]

It feels like you're asking for permission
to fuck another woman.

-No, no.
-Mmm. That's how it seems.

No, Sere, no.
That's not what this is about.

[inhales deeply]

[Darío] I don't know.
We could both think about it.

Like, I don't know,
for example, one night…

[sighs]

…you say you're going out,
and I'm fine with it.

And then a different night I go out,
and you're fine with it.

It'd be a good idea
to not see the same person twice.

Well, you've clearly thought
about this a lot already.

No, no, no.

-No, no, no, I haven't thought about it.
-[sighs]

Can I tell you a secret?

Yes.

But it really is a secret.
I mean, it's not…

-Yes.
-Mum's the word.

Not even Laura.
Well, definitely not Laura.

That Laura and Peter
have an open relationship?

You knew?

Yeah. I've known for ages.

And you didn't tell me anything?

Of course not. It's a secret.

-I keep secrets.
-Yeah, but--

But, really? Anyway.

It works for them apparently.

Apparently.

[breathes deeply]

[Selva] So you opened up
your relationship.

Yes.

[scoffs]

[doorbell rings]

[sighs]

[sighs]

-Who is it?
-Lau.

Ah, Lau.

Hi, Lau.

Good morning, Sere. What's with the face?

[sighs] God.

This isn't a great day for her.

Well, if you want, ma'am,
I can come back another day or…

No, no.

And please, don't be so formal.

Excuse me.

How's it going?

You must be Serena.

Sometimes I am.

[Serena] First, Amadeo was my lover.

And then?

[Darío] And then he was ours.

-Our boyfriend.
-Well, yeah, our boyfriend.

Our boyfriend.
And now he wants to break up with us.

[Darío] Mmm.

Without him, we're nothing.
With him, we're happy.

[freshener sprays]

[sniffs]

Well, I have to go.

[sighs]

So what do we do?

Do whatever you want. But I have
to let you go because I'm in a rush.

[Darío]
Okay, but should we come next week or…

I know that you only see couples,
but we are a couple.

We're a three-person couple.
We're a "throuple."

I love that word.

[Darío]
And we can pay for the three of us.

In euros.

-In euros?
-Sure, in euros.

Okay.

Would you look at that?
It stopped raining.

Uh…

Should I give you our phone numbers
in case you need to reach us?

Oh, yeah, that way I can let you know
when there's a condo association meeting.

Well…

Hold on. Let me write it down for you.

-[Darío] Thank you so much.
-[Serena] Thank you.

Bye.

-Bye.
-Thank you so much.

EVERY DAY WITH YOU

[Selva] Good evening.
I already have my tickets.

[person] Selva.

Hi.

Lisa.

-[Selva] Oh, hi.
-How are you? [kisses]

What's with the disguise?

Want one? A mint?

-[Selva] Thank you very much.
-No? Okay. Shall we?

Yeah, I could tell. I could tell.

That show we saw was incredible, eh?

Are you going to write something
for your site?

Maybe.

Those two are a classic, aren't they?

Have you Googled me yet?

I read your story,
if that's what you mean.

Is this where you do the--
What's it called? The podcast?

The podcast, yeah, here.
Do you want to record something?

Maybe it'll be good and we can upload it.

And if not, we won't upload it.

Go on, put them on. Put on the headphones.

Okay, whenever you're ready.

Do it just for fun.

I mean, afterward,
if you want to keep it, then keep it.

[chuckles]

Hello.

Is anybody there?

[Selva] The world as we once knew it
no longer exists.

It moves at lightning speed
to an unknown destination.

We try to adapt,
as if we actually knew how.

We look for traces of paths
that lead to nowhere.

[phone beeps]

See you Thursday at 2:00.
Come with Amadeo or don't come. Selva.

Or maybe I'm the one that's lost?

How am I supposed to return
without a compass?

New message from Selva

[Selva] To where?

How are things now?

This is Selva Pérez Salerno.

Here I am, back again with all of you.

Bravo.

That was amazing, wasn't it?

No, no, no. No, I didn't like that. No.

Why not?
It's coming back to you slowly but surely.

I don't like the sound of my own voice.

-I don't like it. I don't know. I don't…
-[sighs] That's all right.

Come down to let me out.

Okay. Wait a sec while I find my jacket.

[phone buzzing]

INCOMING CALL

[buzzing continues]

Good evening.

My lifelong friends.

Since it's often hard for you to believe,

I wonder what the nature of
our relationship is, don't you?

It's incredible.

I've always thought of you
as very close to me and my heart.

But in reality, isn't it interesting?
I've never seen your faces.

Anyway, this whole scandal, this thing
I'm talking about first with you today…

I find it really disturbing.

We won't let you rest,

Selva Pérez.
