[both grunting]

-No. No. -Huh? What?

[both panting]

Wha-- Wha-- Wha-- What's wrong?

Nothing.

-[Ariel sighs] -Nothing is happening.

[Ariel sighs]

[sighs]

What?

ALTERNATIVE THERAPY

[Miguel] And this is chrysanthemum.

It symbolizes purity and truth.

And I'm going to put a firecracker plant here.

It has a tiny little flower that-- that opens up briefly during the day.

Isn't it silly to plant that here since it grows everywhere?

Because, you know, oftentimes, the problem with plants

is that people want to have plants that aren't from here.

It's the same thing with dogs.

Why would you have a dog from Alaska here in Buenos Aires?

Well, the same thing happens with plants.

-[Selva] With some people too, Miguelo. -[Miguel chuckles]

My mom also calls me "Miguelo."

But Grisel doesn't like it.

Who is Grisel?

[Miguel] This girl I'm seeing.

But everything is a little complicated right now.

[Selva] Because of your mom?

No, not at all.

The thing is that her lease is up soon and she wants us to…

to find a place for us to live together.

Who's "us"?

[Miguel] Uh, Grisel and I.

Mmm.

I sent you a link. Check it out. I need you to rent me a car.

I'm going to be away for the day,

but you keep holding the interviews.

EPISODE 3 "THE SOVEREIGN"

[dogs barking]

The Sovereign

This way.

Speak quickly because she is very prickly

and doesn't like strangers coming here.

[housekeeper] Selva.

I understand. Hello. Well, there's no need to cry.

It's from the onion.

-Yes. That was a joke. -[housekeeper chuckles]

-Um, here's the phone, mmm? -Oh, thanks.

[domestic helper] Um, we're leaving, eh?

[whispering] Go on. Get in there.

[sniffles]

Lovely, isn't it?

The park, the winter, the cold air.

Selva Pérez Salerno. How are you?

-Yes, yes. The maid told me. -Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Pleasure to meet you. Carlota Ramos Figueras.

-Mmm. -How's it going?

-Sounds like a street name. -Oh, yeah.

Did you have car trouble?

-Yes, it's a rental. -Mmm.

I mean, you were either sent here, or you're irresponsible, right?

Because… I don't know.

Driving aimlessly around the countryside can be dangerous.

The foreman's son was killed by a stray bullet

from some gendarmes that were hunting deer, and--

What a nightmare.

-Your vermouth, ma'am. -Ah, finally.

Well, well, well. That's what we were waiting for.

A little vermouth. Do you like it? Who doesn't?

Yes, one, because I need to drive back later, so--

No, for God's sake. It's very light.

Well, there you go. You've seen her. Now you can leave.

Thank you very much.

-Thank you. Yes, by all means. -Excuse me.

"If one doesn't know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable."

Seneca. [chuckles]

[exhales sharply, smacks lips]

[huffs] I needed a drink. My ovaries are killing me.

To be perfectly honest, it feels like I'm being split in half.

Mmm. I'm going to introduce you to the girls.

Girls!

-[girl 1] Shall we? -[Carlota] Girls, come, say hello!

Come on. Hurry!

[girls chuckling]

-[Carlota] That's it. Come on. -[girl 1] That's Selva.

-[Carlota] Ah, okay. You know her. -[girl 2] No, look.

[Carlota] Wow, they know you.

Her car broke down right out front.

You have no idea who she is, do you?

Uh, yeah. The maids, uh, filled me in.

You should've seen Susana. She's fascinated. Completely starstruck.

I'll just shake your hand because I'm all sweaty. I'm Marina.

-[Carlota] My daughter. Yeah. -Yes. This is my friend, Faustina.

-[Carlota] Uh, Fausti… -How are you?

Cover up a bit, come on.

[Selva] Oh, please.

With all the bare-chested sweaty men I've had to meet…

[Carlota] Mmm.

…a pair of small, lovely female breasts are a sight for sore eyes.

-How's it going? -[Faustina] Hi.

Well, I'll greet you with a kiss. I'm not as drenched as she is.

Plus, you're easy to beat.

-Oh, yeah? -[Faustina] Yeah.

Well, don't come asking for massages later, eh?

-When do you give me massages? -Sometimes I give you massages.

Oh, girls. Girls, please.

Hey, stop. For God's sake. Quit it. Enough.

Yeah, Faustina is like-- She's basically family because--

Um, in fact, growing up, her father and I dated.

So, basically, these two might as well be sisters.

[Marina, Faustina chuckle]

And-- and what are you doing here?

I was looking for, well, some land that already has a house built on it.

-Something small. But-- -Perfect.

You know, César, my husband, can help you because he knows, you know,

the neighbors, the laborers.

I think that soon, any-- any minute now, he should be here.

-Oh, stay for lunch. -Yeah.

[Carlota] Hold on. Do you like meat? Are you a carnivore?

-Omnivore. -Oh, perfect. Great, it's settled.

Listen, you're staying. Uh, I'll take care of your car. I'll get it fixed.

I mean, we'll call a tow truck, or Amadeo will handle it.

We'll figure it out later. Don't worry about that.

Who's Amadeo?

[sighs]

[grunts, sniffles]

[Marina] Ama, sweetheart.

[Amadeo] Oh, sweetie. It's almost ready, eh?

No, look who's here.

Hi.

Hello.

[Marina] Do you recognize her?

[Amadeo] Yeah, yeah, from TV.

Selva.

Right, Selva.

How are you? Amadeo.

[Carlota] Why is lunch not ready in this house?

Is that pig giving you a hard time?

After all that talk of broken-down cars,

I went to fill up on gasoline just in case.

It's almost ready, Carlota.

Please, get a move on.

I'd roll around in a feedlot full of guts.

I'm famished.

-[Faustina] She's staying for lunch. -[Amadeo] Yeah?

-[Faustina] Yeah. -[Amadeo] You're staying for lunch?

If there's enough food.

Let's see. Well, do you eat a lot?

[Carlota laughs]

Her car broke down.

Yes, yes. She just told me.

-If you want, we can take a look at it. -No, not now.

Go later.

Why don't you show her the-- the quince groves? They're amazing.

No, I want to shower.

I'll take her.

[Amadeo] Uh-- Could we, uh, do it later?

Because-- No, I need to go to work, and--

-We can go now and take a look. -[Carlota] Hey.

You know what "no" means, don't you?

[Betty] Uh, he doesn't want to. He doesn't want to.

He refuses because he says he doesn't believe in therapy.

That's why I'm telling you I don't think Ms. Selva will be able to see you.

Because she only sees couples or "throuples."

Sure, but that's just it. That's why.

I need her to help me to get him to come.

-Get him to come? -What if he doesn't want to come?

Yeah, but…

And how long have you two been married?

Forty-two years. Mmm.

But you didn't always get along poorly, did you?

No. No.

No, we used to get along really well.

And-- and when did this crisis with Mister Raúl begin?

Six years ago.

Ah.

So, it was because of something specific, wasn't it?

Antonia, a friend.

A friend of both of ours. Yes.

[sighs]

She died.

A heart attack.

All of a sudden. And, three months later, Victorio died.

Antonia's husband, who was also our friend, you know?

We were two pairs of lifelong friends.

TUESDAY - BETI MASCARPONE X

I went to school with Antonia, so you can only imagine.

[Selva] Are these the ones? They're beautiful.

-[Faustina] See? -A very, very pretty plant.

-What do you do for a living, Faustina? -[sighs] I hate that question.

[Selva chuckles]

Do you hate the question, or do you hate the answer?

[chuckles]

-I'm a fashion designer. -Ah.

But lately, I've really distanced myself from that.

Why?

Do you really want to know?

I never ask questions about things that don't interest me.

[sighs, chuckles]

But you're not going to charge me, are you?

[Selva chuckles]

Uh, a while back something happened. It really changed things.

The store is in a super exclusive area.

-It's gorgeous. You're going to love it. -[Faustina] For sure.

We could go and spruce it up, paint it, right?

Yeah, for sure.

Besides, Fausti is going to Milan for fashion week.

-Mmm. -[Marina] We want the latest designs.

-Is your dad paying for your trip? -[Faustina] Yes.

Mmm.

Excuse me, ma'am.

-Excuse me. -Mmm, thank you.

[Carlota sighs]

We need to pay the deposit and rent this week.

[Carlota inhales sharply]

I don't know if this business you want to create is a good idea, girls.

Because establishing a brand takes a lot of time and, more importantly, money.

Look, Mom. You already gave us the "okay."

And we've made a lot of progress.

And what about a business model? Something?

Uh-- I see the benefits. I clearly see how this benefits Faustina.

I mean, she does her thing. She creates her dresses.

Her colleagues, um, they know her.

She goes to Milan. I think that's fantastic.

But I don't see what you get out of this, sweetie.

Or what I get-- It's not even worth mentioning.

But you get even less out of this.

What do you mean? You're always telling me to do something.

This is doing something.

But doing something doesn't mean doing whatever.

Look, honestly, this seems a little raw to me, girls.

Think about it some more, develop it, and we'll talk in the future.

Uh… [clears throat] No, no-- You can't do this to me.

I'm not doing anything to you, dear.

[Marina chuckles, pounds table]

-What do you mean, you're not? -You know what?

I think you're very stressed, so let's talk tomorrow.

You're not going anywhere, and you're giving me the money.

It's my money.

Hey, hey, calm down.

[Faustina] At the time, Marina and Amadeo were separated.

Okay?

[Selva] When was that?

[Faustina] Well, about a year ago.

Amadeo's never here anyway. He's like a ghost.

Do you have a patient out here in the country?

Aren't you curious?

Is that a "yes"?

No.

No?

-Yes. -[chuckles]

[Carlota] Time to eat!

-Wine? Anyone? -[Faustina] A little for me.

-Let's see. Bring that glass over. -[Marina] Me too.

Over here, a little bit over here.

Selva? Some wine?

Sure, just a little because I have somewhere to be later.

[Carlota] Relax. You can take a nap here afterward.

-There are plenty of beds. -[Selva] Thank you very much.

Sure.

Oh, hold on. It looks like he's here.

Uh, yeah, let's see. Yeah, there he is.

He's coming. There he is.

Mmm. [chuckles]

[Marina] He won't have any idea.

[Carlota] None whatsoever. He'll have no idea what's going on.

-[Faustina] I think he will, eh? -[Carlota] All he does is watch the news.

[Faustina] Well, she was on the news.

-[Carlota] You don't say. Why? -[Faustina] Mm-hmm.

[Carlota] Here he comes. Look at his face. Look at his face.

-Hello. -[Carlota] Hi there.

-[Carlota] How are you? How are things? -What's up? How's it going?

-Fine. -Attenti. A bit-- Attenti.

-What's going on? -[César] Welcome.

Should I say, "Good morning" or, "Bon appétit"?

What did I tell you? Come on-- You're so embarrassing. Look.

-Why? -Because we have a very special guest

here with us today.

-[César] Okay. -[Carlota] But of course!

This is Selva. She's a-- a famous psychologist from TV.

-You're so embarrassing. -[César] She's not here for me, is she?

-[César chuckles] -No.

[César] And what brings you to these parts?

[Carlota] Mmm, she was actually looking for a house, a house around-- around here.

[César] I can ask Licho. I'm sure he has something.

-Oh, Amadeo. -Mm-hmm.

[César] Please, go into town.

We need to find a replacement part for the tractor.

-[Amadeo] Okay. -And the cattle guard, the 18…

We need to repair it.

I have to ask, you know?

Because I don't know. But do all of you live here?

-[César] Uh, most of the time. -Mmm?

[Carlota] Well, Faustina comes and goes.

Now that her friend is getting married…

[chuckles]

[Selva] Ah! You're getting married, Marina?

Mm-hmm.

-You're marrying Amadeo? -Mm-hmm.

[César] Mmm.

-[Carlota chuckles] -[Selva] Oh!

That's great. Congratulations.

-[Marina] Thank you. -Thanks.

[Selva] And are you going to move?

The idea is to stay here at first.

Ama works with César, and, well, it's more practical.

Ah, you work together.

[César] "Together." He comes and goes.

The man's a bit indecisive. Mmm? [chuckles]

[Carlota] Well, we're sort of-- What do I know? Half family, half business.

-[César] Exactly. [chuckles] -[Carlota] Aren't we?

Well then, if you don't mind, I'd like to propose a toast to this lovely news.

-[Carlota] Of course. -[César] Great.

-[Selva] Yeah? -[Carlota] A toast, a toast.

[Selva] To their happiness.

[Carlota] Of course. Amadeo, dear.

-[Selva] Congrats. -[César] Cheers.

-Welcome. -[Selva] Thank you very much.

[Carlota] My baby girl, sweetheart.

-[César] Ama. My dear. -[Carlota] Darling.

You kids.

[Selva] Congrats.

[Lisa] Hi, Selva. Do you have any plans for tomorrow night?

I'll buy you a drink. Let me know.

[toilet flushes]

[person sighs] Hi, Selva.

Please don't respond to this message

because that would go against what I've believed my whole life.

Doing these things doesn't make sense.

This is Facundo Oribe, the nuisance that's trying to reach you about a project…

Ugh.

What a pain.

Selva.

-I thought this was the bathroom. -No.

-Did you stop crying? -Yeah, it went away.

[Selva] Mmm.

Whose room is this?

It's Miss Faustina's.

Mmm.

I wanted to congratulate you on starting to see patients again.

I saw the article.

I really like what you do, and-- and you helped me a lot.

Thank you.

-What's your name? -Susana.

Ah.

Do you want to take a picture?

-With me? -Yes, if you don't mind.

-No, of course not. -Come here. Let's see.

-Here. -Yes.

[Susana] There you go.

-Done. -Done.

Maybe I need to add a filter or something.

Maybe.

Shall I send it to you?

-Yeah? -Give me your number. Of course.

-Uh, ready? -Yes.

-Zero, two, two… -[typing]

Well, before we get started with-- with the interview,

I wanted to tell you that, in my opinion, you two are amazing soccer players.

-[player chuckles] -I mean,

I can't believe that Cuki Ramírez and Pimpi Centeno are right in front of me.

No, thanks so much. Thanks for the compliment. That's very nice.

No. It's just that I really admire you guys.

And, well, if we weren't in this-- this, let's call it a clinical setting, uh,

I would have hugged you by now, and we would've taken photos, but--

-[Pimpi] We can take the photo later. -Thanks.

[Pimpi] And thanks again. You're too kind, really.

No. And, uh-- Well, let's get down to business, shall we?

Uh-- Uh, I'll tell you how this works.

We'll do the interview, and later, once Selva gives us the green light,

you'll be able to sit in those-- those armchairs.

Uh, well, why are you guys here?

[Cuki] Well-- Tell him.

Well, you know a bit about our careers.

You know we've been on the same team for two years now. [inhales deeply]

You know that people love to talk about this duo on the field.

We work together every day.

[Cuki] This doesn't leave here, right?

No, no. Don't worr-- Exactly.

Nothing you say within these four walls will go anywhere.

-[Pimpi] What's your name? -Uh, Miguel Ángel.

-[Pimpi] Can I trust you? -Yes, absolutely.

He and I…

we're a couple.

And, on top of that, we want…

We want to be parents.

-Good. -[Pimpi] Are you all right?

Uh-- I'll make a note of all of this.

Okay. Which team do you support?

-Yours, of course, man. [chuckles] -[Pimpi chuckles]

-Seriously, thank you, eh? Really, thanks. -No, please. Don't-- don't worry.

-You can trust me. Mmm. -[Pimpi] You can see how tricky this is?

[Cuki] Shall we?

[sighs]

I assume there's no point in me telling you what's wrong with the car, right?

What are you doing here? How did you find me?

It wasn't hard.

The trick is to not fall in love with you. And there's this.

-[liquid sprays] -[sniffs]

-What do you want? -Come, sit.

Sit. I don't bite. That depends.

Sometimes I do, but I don't know if the two of us will get that far.

I'm not going to get back together with them.

Do you like working with César?

Things good with Marina?

Yes, fine.

[César] Mm-hmm.

That's great.

The chimney in the guest house is kind of--

It looks kind of blocked.

-[worker] Come on. -Well, well.

[César] Horacio. [chuckles]

-What's up, César? How are things? Good? -[César] What's up, pal? How goes it?

[Horacio] Fine.

Allow me to introduce you to Amadeo. He is Álvaro's partner's son.

-How's it going? -[Horacio] Amadeo.

-I met you when you were just a kid. -[Amadeo] Mmm.

I doubt you remember me.

-No, I don't think so. -[chuckles] Of course. We only met once.

-[Amadeo] Right. -Your dad was a good guy.

Yeah.

-It's a shame what happened, isn't it? -[César] Yeah, well, that's life.

-What are the odds? -[Horacio] Yeah.

-[César] Now he's working for me. -You don't say.

[César] Yeah. From now on,

for anything related to orders or payment, he's your guy.

-[Horacio] Oh, great, fantastic. -Understood?

-[Horacio] I'm looking forward to it, man. -[César chuckles]

-[Amadeo] Hi. -Everything all right?

[Amadeo] Mmm.

[sighs]

[inhales deeply] How did it go? [groans]

Oh, fine.

[sighs] What's wrong?

I don't know. [inhales deeply]

Today I kind of felt like my father, working with yours.

[Marina sighs]

[Amadeo] I don't know.

[Marina clears throat]

Yeah, I don't know.

It's like the same story all over again, you know?

And we already know how that story ends.

[both sigh]

You're not your dad, and César isn't mine.

[Amadeo] Mmm.

[both sighing]

[Amadeo] I always felt guilty about my father's suicide.

Yeah, I know.

I love you a lot, you know?

I love you a lot too.

My father and Marina's father were partners.

Well, actually, my father was the straw man.

At one point, there was a problem with the money, and they got into a fight.

Everyone said my father stole it.

My father couldn't take it anymore, and-- and he killed himself.

Soon after, Marina's father got sick and died too.

Aren't you going to say something?

I'm listening to you.

[Laura] I love going to pick you up at the station.

I feel like I'm in a novel.

-Forgive me for being so presumptuous. -Mm-hmm.

Are you married? Do you have a family?

Uh, no, I recently separated.

-Ah. -Mmm.

Well, sorry to hear that.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Well, life goes on.

-You're young. -[both chuckle]

You have plenty of stories left to experience.

Sure, of course.

[Laura sighs] It looks like we're here.

They just moved in, so they're getting settled.

Mm-hmm.

Just so you know, my friend Serena is a knockout. [chuckles]

But she's married and monogamous.

Unlike me.

-This isn't a great day for her. -Mmm.

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

No, no.

And please, don't be so formal.

[Serena exhales deeply]

[Amadeo] Excuse me.

How's it going?

You must be Serena.

Sometimes I am.

And you're back here again.

Yes, at home.

Don't tell Serena and Darío anything about the marriage. Don't tell them.

You tell them.

Come to the session.

-[door closes] -[footsteps depart]

[sighs]

[Luis] Selvita, it's your favorite person, recording a message for you.

I woke up from a horrible nightmare the other night, or--

Well, actually,

the nightmare was believing I was awake because I was dreaming.

And it was a horrible feeling.

It was like-- like the dream was elastic. It wouldn't-- wouldn't let me wake up.

[Selva breathes shakily]

[Luis] So I thought that it might be death.

Anyway, maybe I'm getting used to the idea.

Tomorrow, next year, or-- It won't make that much of a difference, will it?

Do you know how important you were-- are to me?

I'm sorry for the bad times. Thanks for all the good ones.

-I adore you, favorite person. I ad-- -[phone clicks]

[Octavio] Diana.

Dianita. [clicks tongue]

-Diana. -[Elena] Diana was--

[Octavio] Dianita.

-[Carmen] Dianita! [cries] -[group mutters]

They always communicate together. They used to be married.

[Octavio] Shh. Concentrate. Close your eyes.

-Diana, are you here? Diana. -[Carmen continues crying]

-[Edgardo] Is she gone? -What? Is she angry?

No, no, no. Shh.

Who is it?

[Octavio gasps] It's a powerful force.

-Gloria! -[Elena shouts]

She says she's Gloria. Does anyone know a Gloria?

[Elena] I don't.

-[Carmen breathes shakily] Me neither. -[person] Mm-mmm.

[Edgardo] No.

Selva?

Huh?

No.

[Octavio] "Bullshit doesn't know me," says Gloria.

[sighs] I'm getting another communication.

[breathes heavily]

[Elena] Well, now what?

[Octavio] It's an elderly married couple.

[person] Is all this related to you?

[Selva] All of what?

No. I think it's time for us to take a trip.

-Oh. Ah. -Yes.

-[Selva] What trip? -[all sigh]

We go away together every year.

-Ah. -A meeting of the souls.

-[Octavio] Mm-hmm. -On the island.

-[Selva] What island? -[Carmen] On the delta.

Octavio has a beautiful house there.

-[Elena] Lovely place. -Mmm.

[Octavio] Will you come with us, Selva?

When will you go on this trip?

[Octavio] We'll figure that out later.

Maybe, I don't know.

[Octavio] Good.

[Miguel] I handle admissions.

And if all goes well, uh, then Dr. Selva will see you.

[chuckles] Ah, perfect.

Well, give me your last name. I'll make a note of it.

Perfect. Well, see you soon.

What flavor is the jam?

Strawberry. Can't you smell it?

[Darío] Mmm.

Can I try it?

No.

[Darío sighing]

[Selva] Well…

Clearly, he didn't show. Mmm?

I'm banging my head against the wall trying to understand what happened.

How did it all just fall apart like that? What are you doing? What--

I'm leaving.

-Can't they wait for you for once? -No, they can't wait.

[Selva] Are you going to play tennis?

Yes, tennis.

Wait for Miguel Ángel to see you to the door then.

[Darío] No need, Selva. We know where the exit is.

No, none of this makes sense.

Bye.

[door opens, closes]

Who is Grace?

[Lisa] What do you mean, "Who is Grace?"

When I was at your house, you got a phone call, and it said "Grace."

-Who is that? -Yeah. Grace.

That's-- that's my aunt. My aunt Grace is my, eh, my mother's sister.

-Mmm. -Change her name.

[scoffs]

All right, I'll change her name.

Uh, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be right back, okay?

Selva…

Pérez Salerno.

I'm Facundo Oribe, the movie director

-that was-- was… -Yes.

-The insistent pain. -Uh, the very same. [chuckles]

Never have I ever kept a book someone lent me.

[Facundo mutters]

[both groan]

[chuckles] Oh, don't be such a saint.

-I can't-- But I can't think of anything. -Bullshit. Come on. Come on.

-Let's spice this up a bit. -[Facundo] "Spice this up--"

-Go on. Go on. Go on. -[all chuckling]

-Never-- Hold on. We need to pour. -[Facundo] Yeah. We need to sweeten it.

-[chuckling] There. Good-- Come here. -[Selva] …have I ever…

Never have I ever slept with a male college professor while I was a student.

[Facundo] Ah. I didn't go to college.

-[Lisa] Mmm. Ah! -It could be a female professor too.

-Mmm, I never went. -[both laugh]

-[Lisa] Ah. I don't want any more, eh? -[Facundo] No. Come on, one more.

[Selva] It's a relief to believe that some things will never be spoken.

-Your turn. -[Facundo] Let's see. Never have I ever…

-What? -…slept with an ex.

[Lisa] Well.

Unsaid things that seem unthinkable.

But words that go unsaid, though it may seem impossible,

allow for moments to appear.

Moments where gestures happen, discomfort abounds…

Where the unsaid happens and leaves marks. A different type of marks.

We won't stop until the end of the world

[Darío] Sweetie, I'm going to make myself some tea. Do you want some?

[footsteps approach]

-[Serena] No, thanks. No, thanks, babe. -No? Okay.

[phone chimes]

Hi Darío. I'll see you at the next session. Come alone.

[Selva] Marks that make your heart race.

They tie your stomach in knots.

Beautiful marks that warm your blood.

[both breathing heavily]

And also frightful memories.

There are people whose sorrows

seem like mountains of indelible grief.

Can we undo suffering?

But before that,

as a good friend of mine used to say…

"If we speak clearly, things will be clear."

Perfect.
