[panting]

[man grunts]

-Wait, wait, wait a second. -What? What is it?

-Hold on. -What's wrong?

-You came out. -Oh, okay.

[both grunting]

-You like that? -Yeah. Just go a little faster.

-Faster, like this? -Yeah. Come on. Go faster.

-You wanna go on top, maybe? -No, no, no. Just keep going.

[both panting]

-[grunts] I'm about to-- -Come on.

Faster, Fernando. Faster, faster.

I'm out of breath, babe.

I can't go any faster.

[both grunting]

[moaning]

[woman] So, this is Fernando, my ex.

The guy I swore to myself I'd never hook up with again.

That was totally incredible, babe.

[grunts] Mm-hm.

[exhales]

Wasn't it amazing?

-Yeah, it was. -What's wrong?

Well, as I'm sure you can tell,

my sex life leaves a lot to be desired.

But I guess you could say that love and sex

were never my biggest priorities.

I'm gonna take a shower.

-But believe me... -Want some company?

That's okay. You're gonna be late for work.

That was about to change in ways

I never could have expected.

[moaning]

[whimsical music playing]

[sirens wailing]

By the way, my name's Judith. Judith Flores.

And a few months ago, all I could think about

was becoming the youngest account executive

in the history of Muller Pharmaceuticals.

But as they say, if you wanna make God laugh, make a plan.

Sorry.

[man clears throat]

[beeping]

[man clears throat]

[Judith] They say the first 10 sentences in a novel

are the most important ones.

Those 10 sentences need to entice you,

seduce you into reading the rest of the story.

Well, Eric and I didn't need 10 sentences.

We didn't even need 10 seconds.

Miguel. Miguelito. Good morning.

Morning, Monica.

Come in.

So, games and beers tonight?

I've got to finish this report first.

Come on, take a break.

-Dinner, anyone? -[Judith] I'm still working

on the Q1s for the branch office.

Send it to me when you're done.

Monica, I'm sorry if this isn't the right time,

but I was wondering if you'd considered that promotion

to Finance we talked about.

I've been here for three years.

You're totally right. It's not a good time.

-So, Miguel, are you in? -Am I in?

I would have every breakfast,

lunch and dinner with you if you asked.

Well, we'd better get going then.

See you tomorrow.

-Traitor. -Sorry, I'm a sellout.

[sighs]

[Miguel] Next time I'm buying.

[Monica] When your salary is anywhere close to mine, baby.

[Miguel] Well, I'm gonna have to repay you for dinner somehow, right?

[Monica] Oh, really?

-What did you have in mind? -Do you really wanna know?

All kinds of things.

Careful, Miguel. I'm still your boss.

Maybe in the office.

-But out here, I'm in charge. -[Monica laughs]

Okay, then.

[Monica moaning]

[Miguel] Who's the boss now?

[Monica] You are. You're the boss.

[sensual music playing]

Damn, Monica.

[Monica moaning softly]

[both moaning]

-You want it? -Yes.

-You want me to fuck you? -Yes.

[moaning]

[Miguel clicking tongue]

[Monica] What?

[Monica moans softly]

Don't stop.

[both moaning]

-[Monica moaning] -[Miguel grunting]

[moaning continues]

[moaning softly]

-[grunts] -[moans loudly]

[moaning]

[panting]

[exhales]

Shit.

[cat meows]

Oh, shut up.

I see you spend all day licking your balls,

and I don't say a single word.

[sighs]

[whimpers]

[mellow music playing]

Excuse me.

-[man grunts] -Sorry.

[groans]

[exhales]

[woman moans]

-[grunts] -[man humming]

[elevator doors open]

[sighs]

[elevator doors close]

[sighs]

[downtempo music playing]

[clanging]

It's a nice day out there.

Hard to tell from inside an elevator.

[chuckles]

Yeah, that's a good point.

You okay?

Honestly, I've always had this sort of phobia

of being stuck in an elevator.

So, if the doors don't open pretty soon,

I'm scared I may have some kind of meltdown.

Meltdown?

Uh, yeah, like a little freak out.

You start frothing at the mouth,

and then your head starts spinning around violently

like that little girl from the Exorcist.

And you get a cute little rash on your neck like I have now.

No, don't do that.

You'll make it worse.

[sensual music playing]

[moans softly]

Um...

Want a piece of gum?

I'm definitely gonna have one. They're strawberry flavored.

[Judith laughing]

[whirring]

[chuckles nervously]

Judith Flores.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Ms. Flores.

And you. What's your name, then?

-[elevator doors open] -[Monica] Eric.

Eric.

You didn't tell me you were coming in today.

I didn't think I had to.

Oh. Have you met Judith Flores yet?

She wrote the report I sent you last night.

Mr. Zimmerman, my deepest condolences

about the news of your father's passing.

I'd really appreciate it if, from this point onwards,

we don't mention my father in this office anymore.

[Monica] Eric, come on. We have a lot to discuss.

-Mm. -Shall we step into my office?

After you.

Have you seen the new boss? He's sculpted like a Greek God.

[Miguel] I don't know. To me, he's just another

Calvin Klein model with a nice face and zero personality.

[woman] That's all I need.

Greek gods wear underwear too, you know.

[man] I care more about what's in his underwear.

This has to be rewritten.

He didn't like your restructuring proposal.

He wants to maximize profits by any means necessary.

Typical rich-kid-who's-just- inherited-Daddy's-company bullshit.

He wants results, but has no concrete ideas on how to get them.

And who ends up getting screwed in all this?

We do. Because he's untouchable.

Judith, are you listening to me?

Yeah.

-Untouchable. -Sweetie.

I don't know for sure, but it seems like

he wants to get rid of the branch offices.

But hasn't he seen the numbers?

I doubt he's even looked at them.

Anyway, it has to be redone with the new targets.

The offices that can't get it done are toast.

-But by when? -By today, Judith. Asap.

New bosses are impatient. Get used to it.

And please close the door on your way out.

-Huh? -Close the door, Judith.

-[elevator bell dings] -[Monica laughing]

-I just love an empty office at night. -[Miguel] Shh.

-What if Judith's still here? -[Monica] Even better.

She might enjoy herself and forget about work.

Look, she left the report and went home.

That means we're all alone.

So, tell me.

How are you gonna fuck me today?

The real question is, how are you gonna fuck me, Monica?

[soft sensual music playing]

[Monica chuckles]

[Monica moaning softly]

-You like to watch? -[gasps]

Mr. Zimmerman, I thought you...

-[Miguel moans] -I thought you left. I...

I left the new numbers report in your office.

Call me Eric.

[Monica and Miguel moaning]

You're my boss. So, if you don't mind,

I'm gonna call you Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Zimmerman.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Wait. Stay here with me.

Relationships between company employees are strictly forbidden.

Being strictly forbidden is what makes it so hot.

No?

[Monica moaning]

[panting softly]

We shouldn't. This isn't right.

What's so wrong about it?

The whole thing.

Them here, us watching them.

-It's all a really bad idea. -Yet you seem to be enjoying it.

I'll pick you up at 8 for dinner tomorrow night.

-What? No. -Why not?

Because you're my boss, and I don't date my bosses.

You'll date this one.

[Monica moaning loudly]

I could end your whole career, Mr. Zimmerman.

That's what makes it so hot.

[Monica] Yeah. Faster. Faster.

[Monica moaning ecstatically]

[Monica] Get off.

-[Miguel] What? -That's enough.

Curro.

[meows]

[grunts]

What do you say the two of us have a little chat, huh?

What's up with you? Look, I bought you a toy.

-You like it? No? -[purring]

-[doorbell rings] -You don't give a shit, do you?

Go on.

[chuckles]

I gotta say, I'm underwhelmed.

I mean, it's cute and all,

but maybe a little informal for dinner.

Mr. Zimmerman, did you go snooping

in the company files to get my address?

I thought we agreed to go out.

I guess listening isn't exactly one of your best qualities.

Well, then, let me apologize.

My mistake.

I'll see you Monday.

Mr. Zimmerman.

Meet me downstairs in one hour.

Nice ride.

[upbeat music playing]

[man singing in Spanish]

I see they do things properly in Bavaria.

I was born in Berlin.

You certainly seem to know your way around cars, Ms. Flores.

I'm impressed.

I think you'll see I'm full of surprises, Mr. Zimmerman.

To Moroccio, Thomas.

[chuckles]

Wow.

You know, I always dreamed of driving one of these.

Well, it's a very powerful car.

Do you think you could handle it, Ms. Flores?

Trust me, I know exactly what I'm doing, Mr. Zimmerman.

And since we're going out, call me Judith or Jude.

I like Jude.

It's hot in here, no?

Mr. Zimmerman. Welcome back.

It's always a pleasure to see you.

Follow me, please.

[poignant music playing]

[Eric] Jude.

[gasps]

Sea urchin can be a little challenging at first.

The first bite might be unpleasant,

but sometimes we need to push through

and put our prejudices aside so we can learn to savor it.

The most important thing is to take your time.

Do you like it?

[chuckles]

No.

I've never been a fan.

But it does taste like the sea. Reminds me of home.

All right, well, in my defense, I kind of got trapped there, okay?

It wasn't like I wanted to be there or anything.

You don't need to justify yourself, Jude.

Not to me.

Mmm.

[laughs]

Aren't you having your dessert?

If you don't mind, I thought I'd try some of yours.

Yeah.

Take what you want.

[moans]

Jude.

How far are you willing to go with me?

Huh?

As far as we're gonna get, no?

Eric. What is this?

A game, Jude.

[moaning softly]

[Eric] We can just stay here and watch.

Or join in.

No, no.

No.

-Jude. -This was a big mistake.

I'm leaving right now.

-Jude. -Goodbye.

Shit.

[melancholy music playing]

[sighs]

[grunting]

[muffled frustrated yelling]

Good morning, Curro.

Wanna play with Mr. Mousington?

Yes?

Oh, old guy. Come on.

Don't you wanna play a little bit, huh?

[mewls]

-[doorbell rings] -Hear that?

I think that means your special food is here.

Someone order a Porsche?

Don't tell me we arranged another date

I didn't know about.

I just wanted to see you.

You know you could have just replied to my texts, right?

[mewling]

Hey.

And who's this little one?

Curro.

How are you doing today?

Little sick, huh?

He's getting older. Yeah.

Can I come in?

[groans] Can I get you something to drink too?

[door closes]

I want you to go get dressed.

For what?

Because I wanna spend the day together.

-I've got other plans. -I'll come with you.

Yeah. Uh, listen, Eric, I don't know about this.

You keep showing up uninvited.

And after last night's little show--

Last night was amazing.

Dinner was perfect.

Sure, it started out great.

I was having a nice time.

But then you pulled that shit

with the curtain.

Listen, Jude.

I understand if maybe games aren't your thing.

In that case, I'm probably not what you're looking for.

It's too bad.

Because I like you a lot.

And how do you know what I'm looking for?

[engine starts]

[revving]

[lively music playing]

[moans then chuckles]

I come to the shelter every single week

and walk as many dogs as I can.

Do you like animals?

Yeah, they're okay.

-Do you have any pets? -No.

-No cat, dog, parrot? -No. No.

A turtle, a canary?

-A pig? -No. No.

Most animals need time and attention.

I can't give that.

You make time for the things that matter.

Or maybe you're just scared of getting your suit dirty.

-Huh? -What?

Hm, maybe?

Prove me wrong. Get down.

-That's it. Keep going. -Mm-hm.

-Get him, boys. -No.

-[grunting] -[laughing]

[sighs]

[grunting]

[sighs]

You rich folk really do live the good life, huh?

Mm. Thank you.

I was just saying you rich people

really live the good life, huh?

[chuckles]

Everything has a dark side.

Put this on.

Tell me about it.

The dark side. Tell me about it.

Hmm. Well, it can be a little difficult to describe to people.

Mm, okay.

[jazz music playing]

Then let's talk about something else.

What do you wanna talk about, Jude?

Well, how about

how your nice jacket

got all covered in dog hair, for example.

Because it's really, really filthy.

-It is? -Yeah.

And...

You should probably take it off.

So, Jude, do you wanna play?

Okay.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Anything?

Yeah.

Perfect.

[downtempo music playing]

[Judith moaning]

[moaning intensifies]

Jude.

Tell me what you want.

[Judith moans]

[Judith] Fuck me.

[both moaning]

Wait.

There was someone else in the room with us?

Relax. She's my best friend. And you enjoyed it.

Are you fucking kidding me, Eric?

You said you wanted to play.

I wanted to play with you, Eric, not some random stranger.

Without asking my consent.

-Turn it off. Turn it off! -Judith.

-Fucking turn it off, I said. -Judith.

-Look, I'm sorry. -No, you're not.

You're a sick, fucking pervert.

-Turn it off. -Judith.

Judith. Judith.

No, no, don't touch me.

-Don't touch me. -Judith, I'm really sorry.

It was a surprise. It's part of the game.

-If I told you-- -If you told me. Yeah.

But you didn't tell me, though. 'Cause you knew I'd say no.

There's a name for shit like that.

Please don't do this.

You should know it's not a game.

This is what sex is for me, Judith.

-I'm used to doing this stuff. -You're used to always having

whatever the fuck you want all the time.

And you know why? Because you're just some fucking

rich kid who's never had to work for a damn thing.

And you don't deserve any of this shit. None of it.

You should count yourself lucky, Mr. Zimmerman,

that I don't report you.

Got it?

[downtempo music playing]

[moaning]

[door opens]

[blow dryer whirring]

[indistinct conversation]

[Monica] Judith, can you come here for a sec, please?

Everything okay, Monica?

Eric's looking for someone to accompany him

to the Barcelona branch offices.

Okay. Uh, you should.

No, I have too much work to do here.

And Eric thought that since you wrote the report, you could go.

Of course, Ms. Flores, the offer does come with a bonus,

which I believe you'll find to be considerable.

As a special thank you.

Well...

Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Zimmerman,

but frankly, I've wasted too much time writing reports for you,

and I'm behind on all my other work.

Besides, the latest data you showed me

laid the groundwork pretty well

in terms of what you expect from the numbers.

-Mmm. -Ms. Flores.

Do you, by any chance, still have the data

that we discussed last time?

Well, I'd have to go through my files.

If you could, because I'd very much appreciate your opinion

before finalizing any decisions on this.

I doubt that's necessary. I've made my opinion clear.

Anything else, Monica?

Oh, no. That'll be all, Judith. Thank you very much.

Thanks.

Curro.

Curro.

[meows]

Curro, what's wrong?

What is it, Curro?

Curro.

[somber music playing]

[doorbell rings]

Judith.

Please, just-- Let me say something.

What's wrong, Jude?

[whimpers]

[Judith sobbing]

[continues sobbing]

[continues sobbing]

[sniffles]

I'm getting snot all over your suit.

It's been through worse.

This doesn't mean I forgive you yet.

[sniffles]

[melancholy music playing]

[clattering]

Mmm.

Wow. I didn't even know I had all this stuff in my fridge.

Well, to be honest, you only had the cookies here.

I had to call Thomas to bring over the rest.

Try my little toast masterpiece.

[chuckles]

Were you serious about Barcelona?

Do you know anyone more serious than me?

And what if I still don't wanna play?

That's not a problem.

There are lots of women out there I can sleep with,

but none of them can defend the branch project as well as you, Jude.

Listen.

I need you to understand that this is who I am.

I'm not looking to fall in love

or find someone to sleep next to.

I like to play and experiment with people.

And I know we definitely have a lot of fun together.

But it wouldn't be exclusive.

I'll have to think about it.

I don't think you should keep Thomas waiting.

Thanks for the food.

Yes. Would you read it again, please?

From the beginning?

Huh.

No, I don't like that first sentence at all.

[knocking on door]

I'd want a separate room.

-Absolutely. -And if I'm gonna play,

I wanna know all the rules up front.

-I don't like surprises. -No surprises at all.

I'm not kidding.

Neither am I.

So, does this mean you're coming with me to Barcelona?

Well, right now it just means

that I need a hand with the photocopier.

[moans]

[both moaning]

[Judith moaning loudly]

[buzzing]

You can answer that if you need to.

It's not important.

[buzzing]

[pop music playing]

[woman singing in Spanish]

[cell phone pings]

[man and woman singing in Spanish]

[music fades out]

[Eric] Maybe grab a little bite.

[woman] Yeah, well, may I remind you

that last time we ate out,

I was out of commission for weeks.

So, I think I'll hold off for now.

[woman laughs]

[Eric clears throat]

Amanda, may I present my colleague, Ms. Flores.

-Oh, pleasure. -Amanda is our director of finances.

She overlooks the numbers and targets.

All the reports you write go through her.

And I was just saying those numbers are no good anymore.

Unfortunately, since Eric took over,

the Muller brand has lost a lot of credibility

in the investors' eyes,

and our market numbers have just plummeted.

They all assume he's the typical nepo baby

who destroys the entire family empire.

So, now many of them have opted to invest

in businesses that are slightly more conservative

in their choice of CEO.

I'm sorry, it's, um... I just don't understand

because our numbers have consistently stayed the same.

-Why is there suddenly-- Huh? -Das Blendwerk.

The market doesn't care about the numbers.

It only cares about who's running the show.

-Let's go. -Mm-hm.

[Xavi] The metrics show us that the Q1 forecast

-will be exceeded by double digits. -[pinging]

Allergic reactions, rising temperatures.

There's also more pollen than average,

reaching peaks of up to 800 to 1,000 grains per cubic meter.

That's even in the metro area.

That's gonna create an uptick in demand

specifically for over-the-counter medication.

Marketing is also working very closely with communications

to ensure the central region remains the main focus.

Pharmacies staffed with multilingual personnel,

especially those who speak three languages,

-are key to this-- -Ladies and gentlemen,

pardon my interruption, but something's come up,

and I'm gonna need the room for a few minutes.

-Well, sir-- -Please, if you'd all just step out.

All right, I guess we can, um...

Wait. Not you, please, Ms. Flores.

I'll need your assistance.

What's going on, Jude?

Hmm?

Why did you bring me here, Eric?

Why bring me if your financial director slash lover or whatever

was just gonna take my hard work and throw it away?

If I'd known I was gonna be a third wheel on this trip,

I'd have saved myself the time and trouble and stayed in Madrid.

I could have gotten some actual work done.

-[laughing] -What's so funny?

Jude.

We already talked about this.

Someone might come in.

Isn't that what makes it hot?

God, you're incredible.

[moaning]

-Jude. -Hmm?

I want you to come with me somewhere tonight.

-Do you trust me? -[moaning]

It'll be just the two of us.

Just the two of us?

-Yes. -Yeah?

Yes.

[moaning]

[panting]

Okay.

Okay.

[moaning]

What now?

Oh, Jesus.

Give me those back.

[Xavi] Okay, so let's get back to it. Are you ready?

-Everything okay now? -[Eric] Yeah.

There's a couple of things I still need to go over,

but we can proceed for now.

[Xavi] All right, then. Well, let's continue on.

Mmm.

[sensual music playing]

[Eric] There's lots of different ways to play, Jude.

For example, me, personally,

I find the biggest erogenous zone

to be the person I decide to share myself with.

Your pleasure is my pleasure, Jude.

And if I don't like something?

If you don't like it, we don't do it.

That's the great thing about playing.

Putting your old taboos aside.

And discovering yourself.

And your body.

The very first thing I learned when I started

is that our minds are the most powerful pleasure stimulator there is.

For example, without touching you,

I can imagine running my tongue across your lips.

I like to savor it.

So that when we get there,

it's all the more explosive.

Do you see how they're looking at you?

They wanna fuck you, Jude.

How does that make you feel?

It turns me on.

Open your legs for me.

[Judith moans]

I'm gonna turn this stool around.

But you can't close your legs. Is that okay with you?

I think so.

[moans loudly]

-Jude. -[moaning]

Tell me what you want.

[giggling]

I'm ticklish.

[both moaning]

[both moaning loudly]

[moaning intensifies]

[Judith chuckles]

[both panting]

[both chuckling]

[tense music playing]

[somber music playing]

Eric, you okay?

Eric, open the door.

Go back to your room.

-Eric. -Judith, please, go.

Just double-check it.

Yesterday's meeting went very well.

From this point forward, Amanda Fisher

will be my contact to the branch offices.

You did a great job. Thank you, Ms. Flores.

You deserve to have some downtime.

So, you're just gonna send me away?

When you're ready, your car will take you to the airport.

-You ready? Let's go. -Yeah.

[Rigoberta Bandini's "Too Many Drugs" playing]

Sorry. Could we actually go to Jerez, please?

[woman singing in Spanish]

Oh, my God. [laughs]

My girl.

[laughs]

[Judith sobbing]

Auntie Judith.

Go on.

-Boo! -[yelps]

[both exclaiming excitedly]

-What are you doing here? -I missed you guys.

[Manuel] Come on down, it's ready!

-Coming, Dad! -Hurry before it gets cold.

We've got all your favorites here, Judith.

Pretty cool surprise, huh?

[indistinct conversation]

♪ Too many drugs ♪

[singing in Spanish]

♪ And I love drugs ♪

♪ And I love spirit too ♪

[singing in Spanish]

♪ Too many drugs ♪

[singing in Spanish]

♪ And I love drugs ♪

♪ And I love spirit ♪

[singing in Spanish]

[Judith sighs]

I missed you so much.

So, did the beast behave herself?

-She rode great. -Good.

-Well, except... -What?

The front suspension feels a little soft,

so some of the bumps were a little tricky,

-but that's about it. -I didn't realize.

-I'll fix it up. -No, it's okay.

-I'll fix it right now. -No. Dad.

[tense music playing]

What are you doing here, Eric?

I just really missed you.

[scoffs]

That's nice.

That's it?

-What do you mean, that's it? -I mean, I don't get it.

What do you want from me?

Because if you thought I'd just run back into your arms

because you showed up here saying you missed me,

then you're dumber than I thought.

I know you're right.

In Barcelona, I...

What? Go on.

Jude, I... I want you in my life.

I don't know what else to say.

I'm sorry.

It's not that simple, Eric.

Do you realize what you did?

You used your position of power to push me away because what?

You got scared?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I'm really lost, Jude.

-Tell me how I can fix this. -[Manuel] Honey?

-Dad. -There a problem here?

This is Eric Zimmerman.

Eric, this is my father, Manuel.

It's a pleasure, Don Manuel.

Wow. Don Manuel. He's far from home, huh?

You don't like motorcycles either, do you?

I enjoy driving them.

Okay.

You ride bitch?

Ride bitch?

[engine revs]

[upbeat music playing]

[laughing]

Aren't we going a little fast?

You remember that first night you took me out to dinner?

-Is this payback? -No.

That guy there is Julius Caesar.

And that smoking hot guy up there is Hercules.

It's interesting. You're both kind of cute.

Uh, this place has been a museum of anthropology, a library,

pretty sure a school. What else?

I don't actually know what else it's been.

[upbeat music playing]

-So, do you come here a lot? -To Jerez?

With all the hours you make me work at Muller?

I wish I had the time, but no.

But I've really enjoyed being back here this time.

And getting a chance to see the neighborhood

I grew up in through your eyes is cool

because I suddenly understand

how my mom fell so in love with this city.

She's not Andalusian. She's from Catalonia.

And well, uh... And your mom?

-She was born in Spain. -Uh-huh.

That's why my Spanish is so damn good.

Well, I don't know about that.

How about some humility, Mr. Zimmerman?

-Is that Judith? -I can teach you a couple words.

What's up? I gotta make this delivery.

-See you later. Good to see you. -Yeah, okay.

-Judith. -Fernando.

How are you? I missed you.

-Fernando. -Eric Zimmerman.

Zimmerman. So, is he related to your boss?

Yeah, it's a little complicated.

Yeah, seems that way.

Can I talk to you, Judith, please? Alone.

This isn't exactly a good time.

-Maybe later. -Judith, please.

-Are you okay? -Yeah, yeah.

Take all the time you need, pal.

-It's all right. -Listen, Superman.

-Asshole. -What the hell?

What'd you have to be a dick and insult him?

Are you really doing this after what happened at the party?

Nothing happened at the party. We're just friends, so back off.

Fernando, this really has to stop.

-It's been months. -You're fucking him, aren't you?

-Let's not do this here. -Just admit it.

-Admit what? -It's disgusting.

You're killing me, you know that?

It honestly feels like every other day

-I find out about a different guy. -Okay, Fernando, that's enough.

No more.

-Judith, listen. Just listen. -No, I think I'm done.

You mean nothing to that spoiled douchebag.

Literally nothing.

-But to me, you're special. -Oh.

-Babe. Hey. -Stop.

Fernando, we're done talking now.

-Let's just get a drink. -No.

Sorry about that.

-Everything okay? -Yeah.

Damn exes. Am I right?

So, now that you're officially running Muller Pharmaceuticals,

do you think you could invent a pill to cure lovesick people?

I think someone already did that.

-They're called antidepressants. -No, I mean like...

Like, imagine you created a pill and people could just take it.

It would be like, "Oh, no, I guess Judith doesn't love me.

Well, I'd better take one of these pills

and move on to the next one." Bingo. Problem solved.

-Yeah, that would be nice. -Right?

Now I'm gonna have his stupid face in my head

for the rest of this vacation.

I might have a solution.

Well, I was wondering if maybe you'd consider

coming with me to meet some friends later.

Uh...

Like friends, or you know, "friends"?

To be honest, all my friends like to play, Judith.

If that's possible.

I don't believe you have many friends.

I think you'd be surprised.

And where exactly are you meeting these close friends of yours?

Don't worry, close by. They have a big house in Zahara.

And...

And they invited us both to a party.

A very, very big party. But I'll only go if you go.

A party sounds fun, but it's a lot, Eric.

Judith, listen. I don't need you to make a decision right now.

We can just go to Zahara, and then it'll be your choice.

Auntie Judith, please don't go. Mom only lets me eat chocolate omelets

-when you're here. Stay longer. -'Cause they're disgusting.

I'll never forgive you for showing her those.

-Honey. -I'll leave some chocolate

-in your room, troublemaker. -Here.

What's all this, Dad?

Some food to take with you.

-I'm not going to Madrid. -Here, Dad.

I'll take it if she doesn't want it.

No, stop it. Look, I have some collard greens

and this oxtail. You're gonna die. It's so good.

I also brought some ortigillas. You should eat those tonight.

Does he even know what ortigillas are?

No, Dad. He has no idea. You shouldn't have done this.

This is too much. We're not gonna eat all this.

You will. It's a delicacy in our region.

It's good, I'm telling you.

Oh, my God. Let's go.

Hey. Whoa. Your suitcase.

Oh, right. Thanks, Dad.

Aren't you forgetting something?

-What? -A goodbye hug.

It was so nice seeing you guys.

-Listen. -What?

Take care of this guy.

He looks at you the way I looked at Mom.

It's been a pleasure, Don Manuel.

Don't call me Don, okay? Manuel is good.

You and I are family now. Get in here. Give me a hug, huh?

Okay. Manuel it is.

I can't wait to try the ortigillas.

Take care of her.

Come on.

[beeping]

[woman on radio] Good morning. It's 8 a.m. or 7 a.m. in the Canary Islands.

And oh, boy, it's a beautiful day in our beloved Andalusia.

We're continuing on and playing some of the greatest hits.

This next one's a song from Malu.

It's one we all know well. "Blanco y Negro."

Here it goes.

["Blanco Y Negro" starts playing]

[singing along]

I hate to break it to you, Ms. Flores, but you suck.

-[beeping] -[song stops]

[beeping continues]

-You're not gonna answer? -No.

[beeping stops]

Eric. Who's Betta?

That's none of your business.

All right. Great.

Judith, slow down.

Tell me who Betta is.

-Judith. -Eric.

It's a simple question. Who is Betta?

Okay, okay, okay.

Slow down.

Please, Judith.

Betta is my ex.

[engine turns off]

We were together two years, and then...

Then what?

And then she slept with my father.

Wow.

Wow.

I caught them in bed together one night.

And obviously decided to end things.

With both of them.

I'm sorry. I don't know why I didn't just tell you this.

I guess it's just hard for me

to really let people into my life on a personal level.

Thank you for telling me now.

["Blanco Y Negro" resumes playing]

[horn honks]

-Hey there. -[man] Eric.

-Judith. -Hi.

You're just in time for le petit dejeuner.

Judith, this is Frida and Andres,

-two very good friends. -Nice to meet you.

It's nice to see you again, Judith.

-I'm sorry, have we met before? -Yes, you guys have met.

-When? -Are you hungry?

-How are you? -Good.

[Judith chuckles]

[Frida] It's a great spread.

Wait, you're saying the woman in the video with us was you?

Oh, my God.

I heard it made you a little uncomfortable.

Isn't that right, Eric?

No, no, no. Eric apologized to me.

But if I'm being honest with you,

I have to admit, you gave me the best orgasm of my life.

Cheers to that.

[all chuckle]

[all] Cheers.

We were both studying medicine at the University of Nuremberg.

One day I was parking, I didn't see him, and I ran him over.

[chuckles] No way. Are you serious?

-It was love at first hit. -Yeah, it was.

Been together eight years. I got my ring and our son.

-You have a son? -Yeah.

Andres and Frida are committed to each other.

They know how to separate sex and feelings.

You guys going to Maggie's party?

It's black and white. It'll be pretty hot.

Yeah. We haven't actually decided yes or no.

Or have we?

Hm.

Do you want them to watch?

Or do you wanna watch them?

[lively music playing]

[moaning]

[Judith] I want to play.

[laughs]

[jazz music playing]

God, this place is so gorgeous. I can't believe it.

-Is that Megan Maxwell? -Mm-hm.

Oh, my God.

I've read every single one of her books.

Don't be surprised if you see some recognizable faces here.

Maggie's little promiscuous parties

attract all kinds of celebrities.

But you, babe, you're a novelty.

[Judith chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

-So, what do you think? -I think six months ago,

I could never imagine myself at a place like this.

[chuckles]

I mean, it's kind of insane. Thank you.

Well, sweetheart, you better get used to it,

because from now on, you're one of us.

[chuckles] Oh, should I be scared now?

We have to dance to this.

[lively jazz music playing]

Judith, I want you to meet Alex. He's a very close friend.

[Alex] Mmm.

So smooth.

[sensual music playing]

[moaning]

[moaning intensifies]

Jude. Tell me what you want.

Touch me, please. Touch me.

[moaning loudly]

Tell me you love me, Eric. Tell me you love me.

[moaning loudly]

[clattering]

Morning, Judith.

[Judith] Hey.

Um... [clears throat]

Where's Eric?

He didn't say bye to you?

No. He didn't say anything.

I'm sorry, sweetie, but when we woke up,

his car was already gone.

He didn't leave you a message?

Eric does this sometimes. It's just the way he is.

[line ringing]

[on voicemail] Eric Zimmerman, Muller Pharmaceuticals.

I am not currently available.

Please leave a message after the beep.

[beeping]

[splashing]

[downtempo music playing]

[woman singing in Spanish]

-What's up, Miguel? -Oh, you're back.

How was it with Zimmerman? Is he as big an asshole as he seems?

Way bigger. He's a fucking iceman.

Egotistical and capricious.

So, pretty much like all bosses,

but I don't have to tell you that.

How did you find out?

"Maybe in the office. But out here, I'm in charge."

Oh, s--

What are you doing?

-Miguel, cut it out. -I'm hiding.

Get back out here before Monica sees you.

-I don't care if she does. -Don't worry about it.

You were quite the stud. I'm not gonna lie. I was very impressed.

-You were? -Yeah.

I didn't think you had it in you.

-You wouldn't believe how she-- -No.

No, no, that's enough of that.

-I don't wanna know any more. -All right.

[exhales]

Judith, I just sent you the analysis from London.

I need you to look it over.

Okay.

Um, yeah, the thing is,

I'm actually heading to the gym now,

but I'll make sure to have a look at it tomorrow morning.

Then tomorrow morning it is.

Hi there.

Uh, hi there.

-[gasps] -Sorry.

No, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you over the music.

Did you wanna use it?

There's tons. No, there's a bunch of them.

Um...

I'm Judith.

Rebeca. Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

[chuckles nervously] I was just wondering

if maybe you wanted to do some sparring.

Okay. Just be gentle with me.

Come on.

[both chuckle]

[exclaims playfully]

Hey. Be gentle.

-That felt kind of personal. -Sorry.

Try a jab. A short one.

No?

[exhales]

Here. Try this.

Try again. Go slow.

Good. Now extend the elbow.

And then back.

Protect your face. Chin down.

Try it again.

Okay. Where are you aiming?

-Like, his face. -[giggles] No.

-Here. -Okay, I got it.

Punch straight. Go for the kill.

For the kill.

[phone rings]

[Monica] Judith, can I talk to you for a moment?

Hey, what's up, Monica?

As of next week, we're gonna be transferring you

to the financial department.

Congratulations.

M... Monica, you...

You know, I've wanted this promotion for a while,

but I don't want any kind of special treatment.

What are you talking about? Why would I give you...

You're getting this because of you.

For the hard work you've done. This is coming from me.

I'm your boss. And you've earned it.

Also, if you're not working overtime,

you're of no use to me.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm very busy.

And your new office awaits you.

-Thank you, Monica. -Mm-hm.

[exhales]

-[cell phone ringing] -Oh, shit.

[grunts]

Judith.

-Hey, Dad. -You okay?

Yeah. I just had a couple minutes at the office here,

and I figured I'd give you a call

to see how everyone's holding up over there.

We're doing all right.

Everything's pretty much the same.

Lots of expenses and not enough work. That's about it.

Oh, and by the way,

did your German enjoy the food we gave him?

He didn't even leave me any.

[Manuel laughing]

Well, your mom's recipes are always a hit.

[Judith sniffles]

Honey, what's wrong?

Dad, we've never talked about Mom's death.

Ah.

Because there's not much to talk about, sweetheart.

The important thing

is that she's not suffering anymore.

It's okay, really.

But you...

You're lonely, Dad. I can tell.

Oh, Judith, don't be ridiculous.

I got my hands full. I got Raquel, huh?

And I've got the little one running around,

keeping me young. And I got you, right?

-Yeah. -Honey, I...

I loved your mom more than anything.

I was happy before, but the moment I met your mother,

she made me the happiest man in this world.

And now I have all of you.

We have to focus on the present, honey.

And the people who are still with us.

I love you so much.

I love you too, Dad. I miss you.

It's okay to cry.

No. No, I'm not crying, Dad.

Take care. Talk soon.

Bye. I love you.

[pensive music playing]

[sniffles]

[woman singing in Spanish]

Judith.

[sighs]

I love you.

I love you.

Judith, if you don't open the door,

I'll scream it for the whole office to hear.

I don't care. I'll get down on my knees

and make a fool of myself if I need to.

-Do you hear me? -[door opens]

[Judith] Not here. My place.

[door closes]

Where were you, Eric?

In Germany, with my family.

I needed to get away from everything and just think.

[Judith scoffs]

Away from me?

Yeah.

Look, I...

I didn't think I was capable of falling in love, Jude.

I never expected to feel everything I felt for you.

And it scared me, to be honest with you.

Jude.

You're the person I wanna be with.

As a couple.

Do you wanna be with me, Jude?

Eric.

I just... I just don't trust you.

Please. I can change. You just have to give me a chance.

And what if you can't?

What if this happens again and then...

And then you get scared and take off on me?

-You don't care if you hurt me. -Of course I care, Jude.

No, because if you cared, you wouldn't be doing this.

It wouldn't have happened. You wouldn't be here

asking again, apologizing to me again.

I'm just tired.

I know this is what we both want.

[sobs]

And what if I'm not in love with you anymore?

If, uh...

If that's the truth,

then just tell me and I'll walk away for good.

Please forgive me, Jude.

[sobbing]

You're such an asshole.

I know.

But I promise, if you give me a chance,

I'll prove to you every day that I love you.

No more bullshit. Do you understand that?

No more.

You're gonna have to work for it.

Work.

Day and night.

How about we stay in, make some popcorn and watch a movie?

I'm out of popcorn.

[Judith snoring]

[Eric moans softly]

[Judith grunts]

-Good morning. -Good Morning.

You snore a little, you know that?

[both chuckle]

-No. No. You're such a liar. -You do, but it's okay.

It's like cute, adorable snoring.

It sounds like a little dog.

[mock snoring]

[laughs]

-You're lying. -It's true.

I'm telling you, it's so adorable.

-No, stop it. [laughs] -[laughs]

Eric, you can't tell me things like that.

It doesn't matter.

[sighs]

-Eric. -What?

I want to try something out.

Whatever you want.

Really?

Okay.

You know how I've done everything you ever asked

-because I knew it was important to you? -Mm-hm.

All your games or, you know, your kinky stuff.

-And you enjoyed it. -Uh-huh.

All right, fine. I enjoyed it a little bit.

But... One time, you told me

that it's important to experiment

to find out what you like.

But you have to be willing to.

-No? -Mm-hm.

Okay, so then I'd like to try something.

For this one time, I want to be the one in control.

And I wanna

tie your hands and blindfold you.

-Ah, Jude. -And give you pleasure.

-Jude. Jude. -What?

You... You know I don't like not being the one in control.

[chuckles]

Yeah, okay there, buster,

but it's your turn now.

Give me a chance to try it out for once.

That's what you always said you wanted, isn't it?

I've created a monster.

[Judith chuckles]

-So, what are we playing? -It's a surprise.

[downtempo music playing]

[panting softly]

[moaning softly]

[Eric moaning]

Did you miss me?

Judith, untie me.

-Fucking untie me! -Okay, calm down.

How long have you known her, Judith?

She's just a friend.

-Don't bullshit me. -I'm not.

-Don't bullshit me! -What's wrong?

Eric? Eric.

-Wow, that was dramatic. -[door opens]

-[door closes] -What are you talking about?

Oh, he didn't tell you?

Come on, Judith, think about it.

No.

Okay, then. I probably better get going.

[Rebeca laughing]

By the way, all my friends call me Betta.

[chuckles] Ciao.

[chuckles] Oops.

[Rebeca chuckling]

[door opens then closes]

[somber music playing]

[Judith] I'd never let myself get swept away by love like this before.

Never. And even though I'm still not sure

exactly what happened between Eric and I,

I do know that ever since I met him,

my life has taken on a new meaning.

[cell phone buzzing]

-Monica. -So, listen,

I just read your letter of resignation,

and I can fire you if you'd like.

Judith, you deserve severance pay.

That's so kind of you, Monica. It really is.

But I think right now it's best that I stay away from money.

[laughing]

Judith.

[sighs]

"Stay away from money."

[Judith] I've come to understand that some people

just aren't ready to be loved.

As for me, I never would have imagined

I was capable of loving the way I have these past few months.

But I haven't just rediscovered love.

I've become so much more aware of my body,

of who I am, and what I want.

Now I know how to set my own boundaries.

There is a whole world of sensations

waiting to be explored.

And above all,

I can now honestly say

that I feel completely free.

[hopeful music playing]

[woman singing in Spanish]

[moans]

[Megan Maxwell] Love doesn't always start off well.

But you should never forget that yours is a love story.

Hey, Judith. Have a seat.

How are you?

I know right now you probably don't even know how to feel.

But don't worry, Judith.

I know for you the best is yet to come, hm?

You're a warrior. You're one of us now.

[woman continues singing in Spanish]

[music ends]
