Original subtitles

People don't know me.

People don't know me. People don't know me.

People don't know me.

They only know the story someone else wrote.

What I can say is

what Octavio implied

at the press conference

just isn't true.

Who are you?

I've been many things.

A housewife,

a mom to three amazing kids,

and finally,

Octavio Hidalgos wife.

A marriage that lasted 25 years.

I didnt want to disappoint.

Eloísa, what caused the breakup?

Pablo Casas wasn't part of it.

People ran with leaked rumors.

Pablo Casas had nothing to do with it.

I came to speak my truth.

Pablo Casas had nothing to do with it.

Metaphorically, of course.

A marriage that lasted 25 years.

I can't think of a better place.

When I'm here painting or sculpting,

I'm not a mom,

or a daughter, or a sister, or wife, or friend.

I'm just Eloísa. Eloísa Obregón.

What the hell is this?!

You heard her. Get out!

What was that, asshole?

Out! This is my house!

- I'm not leaving her with you. - Watch your tone!

I need to talk to my wife first!

Ex-wife.

- Who is it? - Its Eloísa.

Come in.

Hi, honey.

Are you okay?

Everything's fine. Don't worry.

You have no idea how much I panicked.

Octavio was out of control.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Something's come up with Antonia. I'll explain later.

No hurry.

I love you.

I love you too.

Good night.

I called your mom. She should be here with you.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Anytime.

Your dad told me.

Tomás filled me in.

What am I supposed to do, Mom?

Well, you're having a baby, honey.

I'm scared and so confused.

Hey.

It's okay.

That's completely normal.

Even planned pregnancies feel this way.

Really?

Yeah. Motherhood's messy.

It's terrifying and beautiful.

That's when it hits you, you'd die for your child.

Dad said I let him down.

You don't owe anyone but yourself.

That's why I'm done being scared of him.

I'm tired of feeling like a letdown.

You looked amazing in the interview.

I loved how you talked about your life and art.

That means a lot, coming from you.

Give him time.

It's hard for him to lose control.

What matters is you three.

Someone said I can work and be a mom.

I really hope they're right.

They are.

You shouldn't've walked in, man.

They were having sex in my house. It's mine! I pay the bills.

That doesn't give you the right to judge her sex life.

Are you on her side?

I wouldn't have called.

Come on, this reaction's not normal.

And I, like a fool,

hid Gabriela to keep Eloísa out of it.

God, I'm such an idiot.

Maybe you were just protecting yourself.

If Eloísa knew, she'd never come back.

Screw off, man.

When's the last time you saw her as a woman?

That's what's eating at you.

Seeing her with someone else,

that's when it hit you.

You didn't just lose your wife.

You lost the woman.

Let yourself grieve.

Carmela's covering for Octavio.

She paid me off to hide what happened.

So, Octavio planted that question,

even if it made him look bad.

All of it was staged. They covered all bases.

It discredits me,

and makes him the victim.

And what's in it for Mrs. Obregón?

Something personal.

She's pushing me out, hoping they'll get back together.

Them? Again?

I don't know. It's always been them.

I was at Eloísa's, and Octavio showed up.

He saw you together?

Yes.

He freaked out.

He's jealous.

Maybe, Carmela's right.

Octavio's trying to win her back.

Maybe Eloísa is too, sorry.

No, she wouldn't.

My parents went through the same thing.

They split, dated others, then reunited.

- Karen. - I'm being a friend.

I just don't want you hurt.

Thanks, but you've got it wrong.

I need to find out who asked that question.

And I need your help to publish.

Of course. I'm in.

Id love to work with you again.

Yeah, me too.

- I served three, okay? - Perfect.

Thanks for answering.

I almost called the cops.

His car's still at the bar.

- I'll deal with it tomorrow. - The ticket's in his wallet.

Hey! Tomorrow at the club, dude.

You won't even wake up, man.

Ill crush you at tennis.

- Bernardo. - I got it. I'll lock up.

Thanks.

- That jerk. - Really?

You lost it over Antonia?

He's a total asshole.

Stop it. He's marrying your daughter.

It's not just his fault.

What does she even see in him?

She sees someone solid, if you ask me.

He stood up for her.

- He's your grandkid's father. - No way!

I should've punched him.

That asshole!

- Honey! - Yes?

Where are the painkillers?

I couldnt find them.

They're in the kitchen.

Ugh, thanks.

Stupid headache.

Bernardo?

Yes.

Are you sure you can still play?

Yeah, it helps clear my head.

Good, because last night

you wanted to punch Tomás out.

I know. I lost it. I'm sorry.

Right?

And babe,

forget what I said, okay?

You'll love that baby. I know it.

Yeah, for sure.

Good luck.

Go win.

Thanks.

Come in.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

How are you?

Hope today's the day we tell them.

It's never the right time, so let's just do it.

Hi.

Great to see you.

- Tomás, right? - Yeah.

Still together? That's great.

Yeah, we're serious.

Come on, Rosi's got the table ready.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

Welcome.

Let's go.

Why's Octavio here?

He is your husband.

Ex-husband.

This is super awkward, Fer.

Shall I kick him out and ruin breakfast?

I want my sister to care about me, about what I've been through.

I didnt come from Colombia just to plan a party.

I came because I care,

about you and your marriage.

I want you and Octavio to be okay.

It's not a crisis.

Octavio cheated for two years.

Two whole years.

Still, not 25 years.

You sound just like Mom.

Hi, honey.

Hi, Mom.

- Did you eat last night? - No, Naye's smoothie was enough.

Mati, you can't just skip meals.

You promised me.

She should've just slept at home.

But hey, that wouldve ruined your plans.

- What plan? - Nothing, sweetie.

Sam's here.

If you're here to tell the kids I slept with someone.

I came for breakfast

and to welcome your sister, out of respect.

Hi, everyone.

Hi.

Hi, Mom.

How are you?

Dad, I didn't think you'd be here.

Sorry, I came straight from work.

Do you get paid?

I'm still paying for your phone, insurance, and car.

You're 23. Aren't you ashamed?

Okay, son.

Antonia wants to say something.

- Yeah. - Great news.

Hi, Mom.

Hello.

- Sit here. - Ho.

Hi.

Of course he bailed, he was drunk last night.

I bet he's still in bed.

No, it's not that.

He backed out.

He told me not to tell Gabriela he was going to Carmela's.

What's he even doing there? Wasn't that for Fernanda?

No idea.

He lost it after seeing Eloísa with that guy.

Maybe he wants to talk to her.

I should call Eloísa.

Honestly? Wait for her to call you.

Oh boy.

What's funny?

The irony.

He's hiding from the woman he cheated with

to see the one he cheated on.

- It sounds like a movie plot. - Total Woody Allen stuff.

It's open, come in!

I meant to call last night.

But I went for an early run, I needed to clear my head.

Where's Antonio?

Hes out.

What's up? Pablo trouble?

Worse.

I had to smile and give advice,

but I wanted to kill him.

He's back with Eloísa.

What? For real?

Since when?

Gaby, Octavio had a fight with Pablo last night.

He caught him having sex with Eloísa.

What does she even see in him?

That asshole!

I should've punched him.

Didnt he mention it?

No.

So he got drunk over that.

I swear I'll kill him.

We're building a life, and he's stuck on his ex!

He regrets leaving her.

Sorry, but it sure looks that way.

And you're over here believing in fairy tales.

So I was the one who reminded him what he had with her?

You should've seen his face watching the podcast.

Like he was seeing her for the first time.

He was admiring her.

You don't deserve it.

- Maybe I do. - No way. Not even close.

Gaby, look at yourself.

You're 32, your life's just starting.

You're beautiful, smart.

You shouldn't wonder if he wants you,

or the wife he said made him miserable.

No way.

You deserve someone who knows what they want.

It's like 50 hours of talks and workshops.

Full-on summer camp.

My cousin's like 30, right?

Mati.

No, he's 17.

Héctor thinks the earlier you start, the better.

It'll help when he studies business.

What about Zacarías?

Well, he likes it.

His dad tells him to go, so he does.

Does he even want to go to business school?

He's 17, Eloísa. Come on.

At 17, no one knows what they want.

That's why parents guide them.

That's not true, Dad.

I've wanted ballet since I was four.

Ive loved photography since I was little.

Fernanda, your husband's lucky to have your support.

Hes got his dad's business sense.

Yeah.

You should ask him.

Your son should make his own choices.

Even if he messes up a hundred times. We're here to guide them,

help them find their way, and catch them when they fall,

to be their safety net.

I'm pregnant.

We're engaged.

Seriously?

- Samuel. - Ill be an uncle.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

You really want a baby right now?

It wasn't planned, but.

We do.

Are you happy?

I am.

Then so am I.

- Why didn't you say anything? - She didn't know yet.

Too busy with your own drama, huh?

I told you, I found out late too.

I have a medical issue.

Mati, finish eating. Please.

I left and you couldn't handle your own kids.

Come on.

Dad.

Dad, stop blaming Mom.

We're not yours to manage.

We're adults.

We make our choices.

Terrible ones.

I don't think so.

No one asked you.

Tomás's opinion matters to me. More than yours does.

Let me live my life.

See, Eloísa?

Your family's falling apart.

- Mom. - You must be proud.

Im very proud of all three of my kids.

Well, I'm not.

I'm standing by them.

Not me. You want freedom? Pay your own bills.

Great. I'm moving in with Tomás.

Antonia, wait. Please, sweetie.

Mom. It's okay. Don't worry.

Dad's right. He doesn't owe us anything.

And before you shame me again, I'm leaving too.

I'm moving out.

Happy now?

Don't worry, Mom.

I'll be fine.

Bye, Grandma. Bye, Auntie.

Excuse me.

Oh boy!

It's alright.

Im leaving.

Good!

Well done.

Okay, listen to me.

Remember I said you'd be the first to know

if I dated someone?

Yes.

Well, Eloísa and I started seeing each other.

And now we want to be together.

But.

Remember I told you

Mom would break up with her boyfriend?

They broke up.

Daniel, your mom and I love each other,

but its over.

We have to be together.

And we will.

We'll always be with you. We'll always be a family.

Even if we're not a couple anymore.

You don't have to move out.

Stay as long as you need.

I know, Mom.

This isn't about you.

It's about Dad.

I need to show I don't need him.

Yes. I should've done this a long time ago.

But does it have to be today?

We're not moving to another planet. We're not even leaving the city.

It's okay, Eloísa

Sam's just renting Jonas's place.

Come here, both of you.

What I said at my mom's, I meant it.

I'm so proud of you.

You'll figure it out.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

- I love you. - We love you.

Eloísa, really. Thank you.

You've been our only real support.

Thanks to you, I faced this with less fear.

I'll always be here for you.

You'll be okay.

Yeah.

Do you want a bigger suitcase?

Yeah, Mom. I think I will.

- Hi, Fer. - Are you okay?

Yeah. Can you make sure Matilde eats?

She said she skipped dinner. I'm worried.

Sure. What about Antonia and Sam?

They're packing.

I don't know if they're ready.

It's you who's not ready.

They're not kids anymore.

Yeah, you're right.

They shouldn't have to leave because of him.

He's scared. He feels guilty.

Maybe I should talk to him. Try to work it out.

You wouldn't be here if you didn't want to be.

Because you belong with us.

You're not fooling me.

Carmela, you're my kids' grandmother.

You'll always be part of this family.

- That's all. - Yeah.

Okay.

I talked to Eloísa.

She wants to meet you.

She wants to make things right.

Great.

Octavio, your place is with Eloísa.

It's clear.

Okay.

Score, and you get a surprise.

Whoa.

Nice aim, kid!

Seriously.

Daniel.

Daniel.

Excuse me.

Did you see a little boy? He was just here.

- No. - Didnt you?

Did you see him?

Daniel.

Hey, did you see a boy, about this tall?

Daniel.

Daniel.

Thanks for coming.

This morning wasn't okay, we need to do better.

Last night crossed a line. You came into my space

without permission.

I nearly crossed that line at Gabriela's.

But I stopped myself.

It would've hurt too much.

I'm sorry.

- I didn't mean to hurt you. - But you did.

And now, we have to fix this.

Octavio.

Twenty-five years shouldn't end like this.

I agree.

If youre ready to move forward, so am I.

Of course I am.

We can have a respectful relationship.

We're in limbo. That's what's clouding everything.

I think it's time we get divorced.

So this is about the divorce?

I also want the keys to the house.

Forget it.

I won't let you blow the money I worked my whole life for

on some guy whos using you.

No way.

You won't see what I spend.

I'll have my own account.

I'll take what's legally mine.

And don't talk about my partner like that.

I've never insulted yours.

I'm not giving you a divorce.

It's not your call.

I can file on my own.

Fine. Without consent, it could take months,

maybe years.

Fine.

Okay then.

We'll see how good your lawyer is.

You'll never go without, Eloísa.

But I won't divorce you.

You don't control me or the kids anymore.

I'm taking back my freedom.

And like I told the kids,

you'll have that freedom when you earn it.

Sell your art.

You'll be surprised what I can do.

Hi, Pablo.

What?

What?

How?

Where are you?

Im on my way.

Mrs. Gabriela.

Good afternoon.

Hi, Rocha.

Right this way.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

- Hi. - Why did you ask me here?

- Is everything fine? - No. It's not.

I need you to be honest.

Honest about what?

You went to Eloísa's,

found her in bed with Pablo,

then got drunk. Was that heartbreak?

Who told you that? Bernardo?

I actually thought that was about Antonia.

If you still want Eloísa, go back to her.

I'm done.

- Where is this coming from? - Seriously?

You've been obsessed with her since Pablo came into the picture.

I'm just worried.

Casas is using her, okay?

Are you seeing Eloísa behind my back?

Tell me the truth.

Yes. I saw her earlier. We talked about the divorce.

Then I hope it happens fast.

I'm done living in this limbo.

This couldn't wait till we were home?

Look where we are.

I brought you here, to pick out your engagement ring.

Shall we?

That's him. Yeah.

- He was wearing red. - Orange shorts.

- About this tall. - I'm on my way.

Yes, thank you. I'll wait.

Have you seen this boy?

Thank you.

I asked everywhere.

Have you seen this boy?

No, I haven't.

Hey, have you seen this boy?

Let's go that way.

Whats wrong?

It's nothing.

You don't pick your own engagement ring.

It's meant to be a surprise.

I know.

But I can't propose until I'm divorced.

This is my way of saying I see a future with you.

Okay.

I pictured it a little differently.

But I'm happy.

- I really am. - Really?

- Really? - Yeah.

Pick the one you want.

I don't want to hide us.

When a child isn't found in the first few hours,

the chances drop.

Hell be fine. He's smart. We'll find him.

Do you know where his ID is?

I'll find it.

Go get it.

- I'll get his passport. - Okay.

And a photo.

I'm calling his friend Pedro.

Mom.

Dani.

We were looking everywhere!

Are you okay?

Where were you?

Tell him.

- What? - What is it?

Tell him you miss him. That you want to get back together.

Dani.

Samuel's in Tomás's place while his roommate's away.

This house feels huge now.

You've still got Mati. She's like three kids in one.

Still, two-thirds of the empty nest hit hard.

It sounds like a reason for tequila.

No, Renata.

I'm actually worried.

She's been drinking more than usual.

- Yeah. - I talked to her.

She said I'm super annoying.

Talking to her hasn't helped.

I know.

I don't know why I bother.

Same with Mati.

The more I push her to eat, the more she shuts down.

Ill talk to her tomorrow.

Teens sometimes open up more to someone who's not their parent.

- You think? - Yeah.

Please, help me.

Look.

- All set. - Okay.

Now that we're alone.

Just a little.

Not too much.

Hey, come on!

Spill it.

Every single detail.

When you and Pablo were hooking up

and Octavio walked in, what face did he make?

You can imagine.

Miracle he didn't drop dead from the blood pressure.

He brought that on himself.

But seriously,

was it before,

during, or after the orgasm?

I don't know!

My eyes were closed.

Then boom,

- there he was. - Holy shit!

That's why he showed up at my mom's breakfast,

It was pure payback.

No, it wasnt.

- It was. - No way.

You got it wrong.

He's just not over you.

That whole my money, my hous" rant?

Total excuse.

Yeah.

Two men fighting over you.

- And you're about to be a grandma. - Don't say that out loud.

Does it scare you?

Is the G-word too much?

I haven't even told Pablo.

I'm scared he'll see me differently.

I pictured gray hairs, wrinkles, even my knees started cracking.

- Seriously. - Hey.

Drink this.

Mezcal doesn't fix gray hairs or knees.

It makes you stop caring.

Cheers!

- Do you have another question? - Go back to your girlfriend.

- Daniel. - Hey!

Dont talk to your dad like that. He was scared today.

He's always been there for you.

Come on, grumpy. Take your plate to the kitchen.

I'll do it.

Head to the shower.

We should sign the divorce papers.

So he understands this is real.

I don't think it's the right time.

He freaked out just hearing you're seeing someone.

Telling him wasn't smart. But it's done.

Are you okay? Dani said you and Jeffrey broke up.

Yeah.

He moved his stuff out.

I'm staying in the apartment until the lease is up.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

What about school? And the debt?

We're working on it.

I'll grab mine.

Thanks.

Did you change the password on the savings account?

I did.

It wasn't working, so I reset it.

It's empty for now. I'll let you know when the deposit hits.

Please do.

We both really need it.

Yeah.

Thanks for the ride.

No problem.

Hey.

your mom's worried.

She thinks you're not eating.

Renata, please.

I'm serious.

Okay. Look.

We're not here to lecture you,

just talk.

I've worked with teens

who made bad choices.

Look.

You think skipping meals isn't a big deal.

But if it becomes a habit,

that can be a big problem.

It can really hurt you, physically and mentally.

You've felt it.

Mood swings, low energy,

getting emotional or tired fast.

I'm not starving myself.

I eat. My mom just overreacts. And no, I don't need a lecture.

You passed out. Because you didn't eat.

- You're lucky you didn't die. - It's really dangerous.

You can stop getting your period, end up on a feeding tube,

even have a heart attack.

You could die.

You need to get this. You're risking your life.

I'm not risking anything.

My mom just exaggerates.

Thanks for the ride, but I have to go. Bye.

Her lunchbox, she left it.

I'll take it to her.

This girl.

Damn.

I don't know if that woman's mom is brave or just ruthless.

Who shows up at his house with a check that huge?

At first, I was mad he lost his job over it.

But Pablo should've taken the money.

As compensation. For everything hes been through.

Yeah.

That night, he called.

I went over. We talked for hours,

mostly about how much it hurt him.

And her? She even started an Instagram account.

What's she posting?

All kinds of nonsense.

Photos of her paintings, her art.

Can you give this lunchbox to Matilde Hidalgo?

Thanks.

- Even started an Instagram account. - Really?

She's selling herself as an artist.

Pablo won't say it, but.

he's drowning in debt.

He even owes Inés.

Yeah, after that scandal, every door slammed shut.

He still won't leave her.

She's got him hooked.

I'll take care of it.

No way.

What happened? You took forever.

- What? - Listen.

There are two idiots in there trashing Eloísa.

And one of them is so into Pablo.

We need to stay sharp.

Okay.

Let's go.

Here.

What's this?

Weren't you trying to lose weight?

- This'll do the trick. - What is it?

My dealer gave it to me.

Just take it quick.

Okay.

First position.

From the top.

Julieta, I'm ready to dance now.

It's obvious you're not ready yet.

I'm fine. Let me prove it.

Go ahead.

Prep and.

Bring two glasses.

What is this?

A day after the Villalobos interview,

a Girona-based magazine offered me

the digital editor position.

A huge offer.

Great pay, housing included, the whole package.

Wow.

That's amazing. Congrats.

That's a big deal.

- Yes. - When do you leave?

I'm not. I can't take it.

I'd have to quit Objetivo.

But I pitched you.

I told them I knew the perfect person for the job.

You recommended me?

I'll consult remotely,

but the job's all yours.

Wow!

Say yes, and we move to Spain together.

Well, I'll have to think about it.

Either way, it's a huge offer.

Good night. I'll call you tomorrow.
