AN ORIGINAL PRODUCTION BY VIX

AN ORIGINAL PRODUCTION BY VIX

I was terrified.

Of the truth.

What truth?

Since I first saw you, I wanted to kiss you.

IM STAYING IN MALINALCO

Are you okay?

Help! Call an ambulance!

- Good morning! - Hi!

Ill bring you breakfast, okay?

That's sweet. Thanks.

I thought I'd never see you again.

I can't believe it.

It's all thanks to your talent.

Well, and one stubborn journalist.

Is something wrong?

I'm continuing Serrano's article.

I promised him before he died,

and I owe it to those who want justice.

It comes with risk.

Will this

affect my kids' father?

I need to know what we're up against.

What happens to him,

it's not up to me.

But anyway.

Say something.

Do we really have to go back to reality?

This feels like a dream,

and I don't want to wake up.

We dont.

I'm going to talk to Mr. Victor

Talk him down, this could be home.

I believe you.

You got him to give me the painting.

That means a lot to me.

I didn't do it for you.

I did it for me.

To get you back.

I'm a cheater.

Be right back.

This is crap!

I don't think it's crap.

Casas is damn good at what he does.

What he says

is true.

Your dad's a shark. He can handle himself.

I hope so.

What's first?

Wanna start with a split?

Here you go! Okay, ready?

Ready.

Why aren't you answering, Eloísa?

Matilde had an accident.

Payment failed.

Can you try again?

It has funds.

Okay, I'll try again, but.

Keep it. Be right back.

- I have to go. - Why?

Matilde had an accident.

- What? Let's go! - Yes.

We have to leave.

Pass me the painting.

Card's not working.

Really?

- Is there an ATM nearby? - No.

Charge it to the card.

- My card. - No.

- No way. - Please.

It's an emergency.

I'll pay you back.

- Thank you. - Be careful.

I'll drive.

Oh God.

Look at this one. I love it.

Your body looks amazing and.

Watch how the light

hits that curve.

I like the way you look at me.

I told you you'd like it.

What was that?

I've liked you forever.

You remember forever?

My memory's sharp.

I've known you since the day you were born.

So what?

I've seen you

with plenty of guys my age, basically.

Look.

You want it too.

I can feel it.

Wait.

It's not the age thing.

We'd be like.

Like incest.

But we're not family.

What?

We're not blood,

but your mom and I are like sisters.

Well, I've never seen you as an aunt.

In fact.

I've had fantasies.

About me?

Look.

I don't care. Don't tell me. Don't say a word.

So,

it's just my mom

keeping us apart.

Right?

That settles it.

What happened?

She's awake and stable.

They're running some tests

to be sure it's minor.

Oh, thank God.

Carmela, this is Gabriela.

Nice to meet you.

Let me get water for your pill.

Thanks, love.

I've got this, she said.

That idiot messed up.

She wrecked my entire car.

What matters is she's okay, right?

My mom won't stop calling.

Answer the phone.

I said I'd stay with Matilde,

but I didn't.

I'm not up for her talk.

She'll blame me.

No one's blaming you.

Anyway, thanks for the ride.

Catch you later.

Wait, you haven't told me.

When is it.

the procedure?

Tomás, I've been rethinking it.

Come on.

Rethinking?

We agreed on this weeks ago.

I know, but after seeing the doctor,

he told me my condition

could cause complications.

It scares me.

Look.

I get that you're nervous,

but we can't have a kid now.

What if

I can't ever have kids again?

So? You've never wanted kids.

It's different choosing not to than being unable to.

I'm sure I don't want a kid now.

What about later?

- I don't know. - Right.

You've got it way easier.

Listen to me.

This is my decision.

Tony, come on. I don't even have a job.

Then start looking.

I'm sorry.

This is a private family moment.

Why did you bring her?

I already told you

- we're together. - I know.

And I'm not asking you to accept it.

You know what?

I'm glad she's here with me.

Where Eloísa should be, where she belongs.

She's off in Malinalco having fun with that guy Casas.

Is my mom with Pablo Casas?

Yes, sweetie.

You knew?

I didnt.

I didnt.

No wonder she took his side.

I can't believe it.

She brushed off

a story saying Dad

caused a man's death.

Obviously, she's upset.

She's not herself.

The reason is the pain you caused her

and how fragile you left her.

Yes, I take responsibility.

But now I'm worried

she's blowing my money.

What do you mean?

Can you tell me?

I'm not a kid, and I care about Mom.

Bank pinged me twice, last night

and today.

Motel charge

and stuff I'm not even saying.

That guy's using her.

Well, this is the mess you made.

You pushed the mother of your kids

into the arms of a leech.

And one more thing.

You look absurd with someone half your age.

Oh, honey.

At least one of us

is still acting like a grown-up.

Honey.

Don't worry about the car.

I'll buy another.

No, it's okay, Dad. It's not necessary.

It is, honey.

You never let me down.

She hurt her foot,

but it's a miracle, looking at that car.

And you?

Are you okay?

Tomás. I doubt you even care.

Are you serious?

It's the truth.

Sorry I didn't fake the supportive boyfriend act.

I've stood by you.

What did you expect when you changed the plan?

Well, I've made up my mind.

I don't need your permission

to have a child.

I get that. It's your body.

But if you have the baby,

that's my kid too.

Don't I get a say?

I'm sorry.

Let's not fight.

It's a forever choice.

It's for life.

My opinion should count for something.

Fine.

If this is our choice,

say you're open

to having the baby.

Perfect, Tomás.

I get it. Goodbye.

Wait.

I'm sorry.

I froze.

Shall I help you?

Antonia?

Honey.

What's going on?

She has cramps.

Mhm. yeah.

Okay, let's go get a pill.

In a sec.

Now.

In a sec, Grandma.

In a sec.

Ow.

So, are the other tests okay?

Generally, yes.

But she's anemic.

Her lab results show mild malnutrition.

In fact, I wouldn't rule out

that her condition caused the accident.

I'd recommend

we follow up with her pediatrician,

and schedule a psyche assessment.

Matilde has

low iron levels.

That can cause micro-sleeps due to fatigue.

So I'd also suggest

a nutritionist

if her weight's dropping.

My granddaughter does ballet

and follows a diet

and a strict workout plan.

- Okay. - I doubt

it's physical.

This seems more

like an emotional issue.

My granddaughter is worried.

Well, identifying the cause

of anxiety in teens

can be very complex.

Her case is clear.

Her parents

are going through a marital crisis.

I understand.

Im leaving.

Sweetheart.

That's not it.

She's been tough

on herself

since switching ballet groups.

- That's it. - Right.

We'll follow your advice.

- Perfect. - Can I see her?

Yes, of course.

They're settling her.

So go ahead.

If you need me, I'll be nearby.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Be right back.

Okay, love.

You don't need to like her,

but be respectful, Carmela.

Excuse me?

She's making everyone uneasy.

Excuse me.

When I found out,

my first thought was abortion.

But with my condition,

I'm scared I'll never have kids again

and regret it.

You can't choose out of fear, Antonia.

I will regret it.

Then accept that.

No matter what, it'll be okay.

It feels unfair

to choose between a career and a baby.

You don't have to.

- Dont I? - No.

You really think

having it all is real?

Take my mom. She went to college,

got married,

had three kids, and gave it all up to raise them.

And now.

she's alone.

If you were me.

What's your move?

If I had

a secure career like you do,

and support from family.

I'd just ask myself

if I want that kid.

That's all.

Mom, you finally answered.

Tell me she is okay.

Are you there now?

Of course.

I thought you were here.

Did you see her?

She's a little scared.

She's fine, but it's a miracle.

This is all your fault.

I assume you get it.

She texted me saying she was home.

She was with Antonia.

And Malinalco was more fun, right?

Mom, I never imagined Matilde would end up like this.

I'm almost there.

While you're on your way,

Gabriela's over here

trying to take a place

that's not hers.

I'll be there in a sec.

What's wrong?

Is that journalist

making you nervous?

Pablo Casas is with you, isn't he?

Who told you?

Unbelievable, Eloísa.

This is insane. Where's your dignity?

Paying for a motel so he can.

I hope you rethink this.

They know. My mom found out about us.

- What? - If she knows,

everyone knows.

How did they find out?

- No idea. - Okay.

We're two adults. It's okay.

It's fine.

I'll park and go with you.

- Dont. - I will.

- Not now. - Please.

Take the car. I'll call you.

Sure?

Okay, but I'll stay in touch.

- Thanks. - I'll pay you back.

That's not important. Whenever you can.

Okay. Write me.

Grandma, please don't be mad.

I've been upset

about Mom and.

Yeah? So upset you ran

to the woman

who broke this family?

Like it or not,

I have to work with her.

You don't need to be her friend.

Keep your distance.

Make her feel unwelcome in this family.

Get your brothers on board.

It won't help. Dad loves her

and that won't change.

Oh, honey.

Your father has no idea what he wants.

I hope he comes to his senses.

Your mom's car.

That's the journalist.

What?

I'm Pablo, your mom's friend. She asked me to.

I know who you are.

Get out. I'm taking it.

- Okay. - Out.

- I just. - Dont talk to me.

Okay.

Is this cab free?

Okay, let's go.

Lets go.

Follow that taxi.

Let's go. Don't lose it.

Not coming?

Well.

Yes.

I don't want you to feel uncomfortable.

Ill be outside.

It's okay, really.

When I told Octavio to leave,

I figured he'd go to you,

or some other woman.

Go with him. I don't mind.

If his wife leaves, do you still want him?

Even if it's just

because he can't have her?

Thank God you're okay.

I believed

you were at home.

Sorry. I was with Alana watching a ballet doc.

It wasnt a big deal.

I don't deserve this.

Not my foot!

- Sweetie. - Please.

I cant.

It's for your recovery.

One to three months.

I'll be replaced.

Don't you get it?

I wont wear it.

If you don't cooperate,

he'll cast it.

If you try pointe,

you could cause permanent damage.

It's your choice.

Your foot is the priority.

Julieta will understand.

Put on the brace.

Start the insurance.

I'll take care of the patient.

Thanks.

I'll be back.

Are you okay?

Perfect.

Aren't you ashamed

you haven't shown up or called?

You didn't answer.

I didn't call you.

I didn't notice.

I was taking care of our daughter,

you know, the one who almost died.

I am here, right?

You don't get a medal for being a dad.

That's just what parents do.

Don't act like a hero now.

I couldn't know she'd get hurt.

I went there for a painting.

I don't give a damn.

You bailed on your kids. Period.

I called everyone. No one picked up.

I was gone for 24 hours.

Yeah, sure.

You were with that jerk Casas,

using my money for some cheap motel.

Watch your tone.

Are you following me?

Your card is linked to mine.

I get the bank alerts.

Well, his card got blocked.

Don't defend him.

He's taking advantage of you.

He's dead broke.

You're his easy target.

Leave me alone.

I LEFT. ILL BE AT THE FLAT

Pablo Casas. He lives here, right?

He lives up the stairs.

Oh.

How'd you get

the cards shut off, Julieta?

Say something.

Do you have problems?

Are you okay with Jeffrey?

Alright, we'll talk tomorrow.

Alright.

Ma'am.

Can we talk for a bit?

Of course. Come in, please.

- Thank you. - Would you like to sit?

- No, I'm fine like this. - Something to drink?

Nothing, thank you.

I followed you from the hospital.

People just walk in around here.

No doorman, no elevator, just look around!

My daughter

is in an emotional crisis.

Mr. Casas.

I'll get straight to the point.

My daughter's going through a marital crisis.

It's left her vulnerable.

But she's not alone.

And I'll protect her from anyone

who tries to take advantage.

It's good you want to protect her.

Like any mother would.

Very reasonable.

Stay away from her.

You meant me.

Mrs. Carmela,

with all due respect,

your daughter's the only one I answer to.

Pursuing this won't do you any good.

Trust me.

It's to help you.

I'm a journalist.

I've heard that before.

I'm not easy to scare.

Eloísa is a wonderful woman.

She's worth it.

Im not saying

you're threatening me.

You don't know who I am.

Still early, but I'm getting the idea.

You'll hear from me.

I don't doubt it.

Have a nice afternoon, Mrs. Carmela.

I don't get it.

Walking into the lion's den, seriously?

Didn't you think

his ex might be at the hospital

with their hurt daughter?

Of course I thought of that.

I was ready. I thought it'd be in the lobby

or a hallway.

Oh, okay.

And what was the plan?

Were you going to walk up, say hi

and ask for her ex's favorite recipes?

I didn't plan it.

It felt like time

to be seen with my boyfriend.

I'm tired of hiding.

I want to be the partner he needs.

That part I get.

Of all places,

I found her in the elevator.

Alone. No words.

I almost died.

What a fucking nightmare!

And I thought she'd.

take it badly,

but nope.

She moved on with her life.

But Octavio.

Octavio what?

I saw a moment between them.

I saw jealousy.

I don't get it.

Her jealous of him?

No, he was pissed

she stayed

with a man in Malinalco.

Well, that's good news.

I mean,

her dating someone new,

that's good for you.

Yes.

For me.

But not for you.

What?

How would that affect me?

The other man is Pablo Casas.

Careful, sweetie.

Oh.

I'll make you some soup.

I'm not hungry. I was on an IV for hours.

Thanks for driving us.

- Sure. - Careful.

Here.

Let me help.

Back off.

I can walk on my own.

Hey, Mom, I brought your car.

Which I'll be using,

since this brat wrecked mine.

You're a liar!

I had to take it from that tacky guy.

What? Who?

The guy Mom spent the night with in Malinalco.

Weren't you at a flea market?

She was with Pablo Casas.

Don't talk nonsense.

What are you on?

He didn't attack your dad.

He questioned how the case was handled,

professionally and objectively.

I don't know what your dad said,

but I never planned to go to Malinalco

with him or anyone.

So.

are you seeing him?

I don't get it.

How long's it been?

That's not a relationship.

It's a woman

paying a guy 20 years younger to sleep with her.

Are you crazy?

It's the truth.

Mom paid for that crappy hotel.

Even the food, right, or am I wrong?

Are you serious?

That's not true, right?

His card was declined.

He paid me back.

You don't care

that he's trying to ruin Dad?

Listen to me.

I would never do anything to hurt you,

or your father.

It's too late.

Let's go.

Son.

I'll make some soup.

What about you?

Are you hungry?

Samy...

I'm really sorry, son.

What for?

Sleeping with that guy or that we found out?

We had no clue about that.

He's going after my dad.

Hes tailing him.

His story is about an employee

Villalobos fired who later died.

Exactly, Mom.

That piece

could damage Dad.

It's not up to Pablo, son.

It's in your dad's hands.

Think what you want.

But honestly,

if you keep seeing him,

I might lose it.

It's the truth.

Hey, man,

help me get rid of this damn IV.

I'm bloated like a balloon.

That thing's not mandatory.

Its ridiculous.

Beef or chicken in the.?

Talk soon.

You've lost a lot of weight.

That's not true.

It explains the chills.

Are you eating well?

Yes. Ask Naye.

I just work out a lot.

Im fine, okay?

I want chicken in the soup, okay?

And potato.

Im sitting here with you like youre five.

I'm not leaving till you finish it.

Wear the brace. You could get hurt.

Hello.

I was about to call.

Eloísa, I'm outside your house.

Here? Are you crazy? My kids are home!

Sorry, but I need to see you.

Can you come out?

Eloísa?

Hey. hi. hey.

You don't have to say it. I know.

You must've felt awful

Forgive her. She was really worried.

Don't worry, it wasn't that bad.

It's my fault.

I didn't talk to Antonia or her brothers.

They found out the worst way.

And how's Matilde?

She's fine.

It shouldn't have happened.

Accidents are accidents.

I was gone. That's why it happened.

It's not your fault.

You know.

Saturday

was one of my happiest days.

But I can't do this to my kids.

I understand, don't worry.

I brought you something.

Cheesy, I know, but that room

meant something.

It's called Temishtli. It means dream in Nahuatl.

- A dream. - A dream.

A dream waiting for you,

too good to end.

I'll be waiting for you.

No pressure.

I'll be here.

I'd live that night again,

a million times.

I don't regret it.

I'll be waiting for you.

Good morning.

Bravo!

Well, thank you.

It's not a big deal. Thanks.

Pablo, we need to talk.

Okay.

Someone powerful,

close to the magazine,

threatened a scandal

over your thing with Eloísa de Hidalgo.

As we know,

that's a major ethical issue.

Actually, it's Eloísa de Obregón.

And it's not a problem.

I never spoke to her while writing.

- I said that. - Sure.

I said it was a misunderstanding,

because it was, right?

There's nothing going on with her.

Karen, we spent the weekend together.

I'm madly in love with her.

You can't be serious.

Look, calm down.

I'll talk to the magazine people,

explain the situation.

Don't defend me.

Well, I already did!

I put my neck on the line.

What,

you think the article's out

and it's all good?

Well, yes, it is.

No conflict now.

They're not together anymore.

Karen, I love her.

She's much older than you.

So what?

You can't be with her.

- Why not? - The execs won't stand for it.

I don't give a damn what they think.

It's not up to them

who I love.

In this case, it is. She's not just anyone.

Pablo, end it.

You could lose your job.

Then let's play it safe, huh?

Right.

I quit.
