["Careless Whisper"
by Vix Valerio playing]

Shh…

[gasps, sighs]

[music fades]

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Alma] Doctor,
would you like to make some money?

[sighs] Do I have to fuck someone?

[Alma] A very beautiful,
very pregnant trophy wife.

[Santita] Tell her congratulations
and I'll see her next week in the office.

Hm, I don't think so.

Her husband had an operation last year.

Apparently, he had a vasectomy,

so offering her congratulations

might not be the appropriate way to go.

Listen, I told her we could help her,
and she said she would pay us good money.

Alma. I've told you no.

We've talked about this.
I don't want a reputation for doing that.

[Alma] Well, it's too late now.
See you later, Doc.

-[call ended beeps]
-[sighing] Fucking hell…

[jaunty music playing]

[sighs]

A vasectomy can fail.

It's rare, but not impossible.

[patient] This baby will not look
like my husband. I promise you that.

Okay.

I'm not here to be judged, all right?

No, not at all.

He's been fucking everyone in sight.
Even before we were married.

Why do you think he had the surgery?

He doesn't want to have
little brats all over the place.

[Santita inhales slowly]

I paid.

And I've talked to Alma.

-Are we still negotiating?
-No, we're not.

Look, I don't know what Alma said to you,

but this is not what I do, Patricia.

It's not about the money.

Obviously, it's not in our best interest
for this to get out.

We both have a lot to lose.
We need to trust each other, right?

-[Santita] Did the chick pay you?
-Yeah, she did.

-[Santita] So where's the money?
-Don't worry about it.

-[Santita] You're not gonna tell me?
-It's taken care of.

I've got to keep it hidden from you
in order to make sure it's safe, okay?

-[Santita] Wow. You are one sly girl.
-Morning!

Well, I had the best teacher around.

[Santita] All right. You win. This time.

-[Ximena] Doctor, she's waiting for you.
-Who is?

[Santita sighs]

-[Cecilia] Where's Alejandro?
-[Santita] No idea.

He didn't come home at all last night.
No one's seen him.

Just please tell me if he's all right.

-How would I possibly know that?
-[scoffs]

I'm the last person
Alejandro would ask for help.

[Cecilia scoffs]

Listen.

I know perfectly well that you two

still have a lot of stuff to work on.

I understand!

But stop playing innocent for God's sake.

I'm betting he didn't buy our story
about your abortion.

And honestly, I don't buy it either.

It was his, right?

I never wanted any children.

And at my age, there are risks.
You know that.

Alejandro is, uh,

much… sicker than he says.

Yeah. I would have been a single mother.

I understand that.

But you still should've
talked to him about it.

Those conversations aren't easy.

[Santita] No, they're not.

Since he was diagnosed,

I find it impossible to say no
to anything he says.

But this is… [sighs]

I just couldn't do it. Okay?

[cell phone buzzing]

It appears you two have things
to work out as well.

ALEJANDRO
ATTACHED: 1 VIDEO

Hey, Mari.

I've just realized that this is
the very first time I'm here without you.

We said we'd always come back, remember?

We never got to do it.

[tapping keyboard]

CECILIA CAME LOOKING FOR YOU.

[sighs heavily]

[clicking]

[sighs]

[music fades]

Some woman named Verónica called.

Said she'll come by later
for the money you owe her.

Fuck. Good thing I won't be here.

I don't have it.

Where the hell did you meet this Verónica?

She loaned me money at poker.
100,000 pesos.

She's with Quique Quirarte.

No…

María José, don't you realize
how dangerous these people are?

What can they do?

Break my legs?

[Alma sighs]

-[dogs barking]
-[birds screeching]

[Santita] Hey, what's up?

-Hello, Doctor.
-Hi, Pascal.

I'm sorry.

Uh, I don't know
if I'm dressed appropriately.

You're very handsome.

Thanks.

Now it's your turn.

[hesitates] Oh, I'm sorry, yes, uh…

You also look very good.

[chuckles] Don't worry, Pascal.
I'm just teasing you.

I know I look pretty good.

[upbeat music playing]

Come give me a big kiss.

Happy birthday!

[boy 1] Did you bring us presents?

I told your dad to give them to you.
He didn't do it?

[boy 2] No, he didn't.

Ah… What did you get?

Uh, clothes, a pair of shoes…

We got board games, video games…

And we got boxing gloves!

-That's what I gave you.
-[boy 2] Really?

Of course!

Go and get something to eat.
I'll find you in a sec.

Thanks. Hello, boys.

-Hello.
-Is that your boyfriend, Auntie? [giggles]

I wish! No, he's a friend.
Your dad's gonna give him a job.

-[boy 2] Oh.
-[boy 1[ Okay!

Kids.

Can you pour me one of those?

Or something stronger if you've got it?

[woman] Hello!

You see why it's never good
to be the other woman?

You're always alone at parties.

What makes you say that?
He could be out there.

-Hmm?
-Oh, yeah? Which one?

Try and guess.

-The werewolf.
-[chuckles]

-Come on…
-[both chuckle]

No, I know. The cowboy, there.

-[Lia] Hmm? He's more my type.
-[both chuckle]

-[Lia] But no.
-[chuckles]

[Lia] Check out the Clark Kent guy.

He doesn't have the muscles
to be Superman, though, right?

Uh, hold this for me. I'll be back.

-What are you doing here?
-[Mauricio] Hello, Santita.

Hello.

I'm here with Florencia.

-This is Santita.
-Hello.

My son goes to school with the twins.

Ah, nice. That's wonderful.

How do you two know each other?

-[Santita] We work together.
-Santita, at last!

Better late than never.

[Santita] Be honest.
You would've preferred never. Right?

[woman] Uh…

See you later. Fuck this.

-What's up, bud?
-[man] Auntie.

I don't know what's wrong with her.

[music stops]

[Santita] Everything okay, Montse?

[upbeat music playing in distance]

Listen, you don't have to tell me
anything you don't want to.

But I'm a really good listener.

In my job, I have to listen

to a lot of women tell me things
they don't tell anyone else.

Can I ask you
a totally hypothetical question?

[chuckles softly] Of course you can.

A friend of mine told me
that when a man makes love to a woman,

he can tell if she's a virgin or not.

Is that really true?

Tell your friend that's bullshit.

It's not true at all.

Tell her just to relax, okay?

I think I should go and join the party.

[Santita sighs]

[upbeat music playing]

So, Doctor. Washing your hands of me?

Santita, I'm not in the mood for games.

Oh no! This is a children's party.

Oh, well then,
let's play hide and seek, all right?

I'll hide and you count to 1,000.

-[Santita scoffs]
-Sorry, excuse me.

I knew what you said
the other day wasn't true.

What do you mean?

About having a serious relationship,
like adults. Did you forget?

You said you weren't interested.

-No, I never said that.
-It's what you insinuated. Hm?

Is that why you came to my nephews' party
with another woman?

That's just cruel.

Look, when I was invited,
I didn't know we were coming here.

Right. You are just resentful.

No, I'm not resentful. I'm trying
to get on with the rest of my life.

Uh, that's not what we agreed to though.

-We said I'd think about it.
-[kids giggling playfully]

-[Mauricio chuckles]
-[girl] Come on, let's play!

What?

-Is something funny?
-No, I've just never seen you like this.

-Like what?
-Like this.

It seems you always want to pretend
that you're above everything else.

That's hard to do from where I'm sitting.

Hey, listen, Santita.

If you wanna pretend I'm the reason
you and I aren't together, go ahead.

But…

[girl] I wanna play with the ball too!

…I don't wanna play anymore.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[upbeat music playing]

[brother] Anything else, your majesty?

-Who's that?
-Armando?

Well, he's Montse's dad.

-You don't know who he is?
-No.

I've seen him around, but

we've never been introduced.

[brother] You should meet him.

He's invested a lot of money
in our project.

-So the marriage is between you and him?
-[chuckles]

-You're something else. I gotta go.
-[woman] Where's your dad?

[Santita] I haven't seen him.

You were supposed to pick him up,
remember?

Me?

You can't be trusted to do anything.

Oh, well, you should all know that by now
so it's basically your fault.

Good job, Sister.

Later, I'll bring him a piece of cake.

Mari, you said
this was your favorite restaurant.

It hasn't changed at all.
There's still the same waiter.

He asked me,
"Where's your skinny little friend?"

And I said, "The skinny one?"
He said, "With the big butt."

[chuckles] He didn't say that.
That was me. I did.

-You can have…

[brother] The biggest piece.

[indistinct chatter]

[uneasy music playing]

[brother] There'll be plenty left.
Don't worry.

[sister] Would you like some? You sure?

I got you a job working with my brothers.

Thank you. That's great, Doctor.

You're going to be working for them,

but actually,
you're gonna be working for me.

Uh, yeah, okay.
But what do you want me to do?

-Weed through the bull.
-What do you mean?

I want you look for anything odd,
like secret calls, bribes…

Anything illegal.

-I'm good.
-You?

-No, really, I'm fine.
-If he's really generous…

-Are you saying your brothers are crooks?
-[chuckles]

I don't know.

But I need you to find out.

Sorry I didn't take you to the party.

-The girls told me off.
-Three queens.

It was probably for the best.

I had a good reason for not being there,

and they had a good reason
to tell you off.

-Full.
-Bullshit.

-How do you know that?
-[dad giggles]

[dice rattling]

Ah… Poker.

-You're lying.
-[sighs] Hm. Hmm…

-You son of a…
-[laughing]

Know who's here now?

-Tell me.
-Alejandro.

Mm. Hey.

You know, his wife's quite the looker.

I was out with your brothers the other day
and I saw them across the street.

He has cancer.

Jesus.

Ooh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Think he's here to say goodbye?

[dad] Huh, to you?

No. To his family.

[dad sighs]

Cancer is a really horrible way to go.

-It gets so hard in the end.
-[sighs sadly]

-[dad] Remember my friend, Felipe?
-Mm-hmm.

[dad] Well, in the end,

he begged for someone to bring him a gun
so he could put himself out of his misery.

[Santita] Wow!

That story was beautiful.

-[dad] Well…
-Very uplifting! Thanks.

-[dad sighs]
-Do you think I blew it?

[dad] What are we talking about now?

About my wedding.

[dad] Hm. Hmm…

Honestly, I think
you created the whole situation

so that you'd have an excuse to leave him.

-'Scuse me?
-You heard me. Don't play dumb.

[Santita scoffs softly]

You think I wanted to be stuck
in a wheelchair for the rest of my life?

No, I wasn't trying to say
you made a conscious decision.

Why are you telling me this right now?

I'm old. And I've decided
to start telling the truth.

[Santita] Oh, is that right?

Want to know the truth
about growing up with an alcoholic dad?

Because I sure could tell you.

[inhales sharply] Uh,
I'd prefer you didn't.

-[Santita] Hm, I thought so.
-Hm.

Pay up.

Pa, you annoy me.

Yeah. Come on, pay up.

[car dinging]

[cell phone buzzing]

[wistful music playing]

Hey, Mari,
I don't mean to make you feel bad,

but I'm here

in the exact position

I was in when I proposed to you, remember?

It's the same time

and the same place

you said yes.

Hey, what did you end up doing
with the ring?

Do you still have it?

Or did you toss it in the sea?

Maybe there's a fish out there
with a diamond in its belly.

You never know.

I dunno.

[phone locking click]

-[thud]
-[marble clatters]

Hey!

You've got a visitor. Open up!

This is another flagrant example

of why we need more accessibility
for wheelchairs in this place.

What are you doing here?

Don't just stand there. Come help me.

Unless you're not alone.

No, I'm not alone.

The party chick?

No. Another one.

Oh.

I'll introduce you.

Uh-huh?

[Mauricio sighs]

[Santita chuckles]

I thought you weren't
in the mood for games.

That's life, I guess.

[Santita] Can you pick up my marbles
for me? I need them.

Thank you.

María José Cano, better known as Santita,

may I present Nina Valenzuela,
better known as my mother.

-[Nina] Santita.
-Pleasure to meet you.

I have heard so much about you, my dear.

-Oh, yeah?
-[Nina] Yes.

-You're an Aries, right?
-Ma.

You're spontaneous,
audacious, charismatic.

[Santita] The 5th April.

[chuckles] Aries is not a good match
for you, honey.

Ma, please, don't.

She's got a point.

I'm probably not good enough
for anyone out there.

[Nina] You're very honest.

You know,
that characteristic is very Aries.

-[Mauricio groans]
-[Nina] It is!

-You're learning a lot about me.
-[Nina] Mm.

Does your injury have any effect
on your ability to bear children?

-[Mauricio] Mom, no.
-[Santita laughs]

My reproductive system is
in perfect condition.

-And how old are you?
-Mom, it's getting late.

[Nina] Oh, come on.
I haven't finished my coffee!

[Mauricio] You shouldn't drink caffeine
at this hour. It doesn't sit well.

Is it really so bad to want your son
to give you grandchildren?

No, no, no, it's not bad. It's just
you have to learn to do it quietly.

Ah! Don't do that.

-[Mauricio sighs]
-[Nina] Right, I'm leaving.

[Mauricio] Huh?

Here, take this.

It's a rose quartz.

-[Santita] Hm.
-[Mauricio sighs]

-It helps balance emotions. Hmm?
-Oh, thanks.

[Nina] It also helps with fertility.

[sighs] Ma, enough.

[Santita] If it puts your mind at ease,

I froze my eggs ten years ago,
just in case.

-Wow!
-Well, that's good to know.

-See ya.
-Bye.

[door closes]

She's quite the gal, your mom.

No wonder.

Why are you here?

You went to my nephews' birthday party
with that boring chick.

-To make me jealous, right?
-No.

-And please don't call her that.
-[Santita chuckles]

I thought about it.

I would really like to have
a serious adult relationship with you,

if the offer still stands.

[chuckles softly]

["Ayayai" by Daniela Andrade playing]

[Mauricio kissing]

[Santita chuckles]

[chuckles]

Get undressed.

[Santita inhales slowly]

-[Mauricio kissing]
-[breathing heavily]

[Santita sighs]

For a moment, I thought today was the day.

-Close.
-[moans softly]

Well, I'll always be ready for you
if you ever want to try again.

[Santita chuckles]

-Oh, Doctor. You're such a stud.
-[chuckles]

[cell phone buzzes]

[Mauricio sighs]

Is that your other chick?

Answer it.

Doesn't matter to me. I'm open-minded.

[Mauricio sighs]

We've gotta change this bandage.

Ah, yes, we have to change the bandage.

Changing the subject
means changing the bandage.

I'm not kidding around.

You know, you never asked how I got that.

No.

Wanna tell me?

[inhales sharply] Better not.

[sighs]

[sighs]

DON'T WORRY, I'LL CALL YOU LATER

[phone ringing]

Hello?

[Santita] Alma, I'm going to be out
for a few days.

I need you to cancel all my appointments
and move them 'til, I don't know…

[Alma] Listen, this is a bad time
to go on vacation.

-Who said I was going on vacation?
-[Alma] Then what are you doing?

I need to clear my mind.

That's exactly what you do
when you're on vacation.

[Santita] It's what the money
for the special services is for.

Just figure something out.

-[Alma] Hey, speaking of money…
-Bye!

[Mauricio] Why are you ignoring my calls?

[Santita] Oh, Mauricio.
I wasn't ignoring you. I was busy.

[Alejandro] I hated you.
I hated you for so long.

I feel like you always make me out
to be the bad guy.

I think we should stop playing this game.

[Alejandro] But I'm not okay.

And it's only gonna get worse.

And I'm gonna need your help.

[Santita] I had no idea
you were such a good liar.

[Alejandro] I didn't lie to her.
I just didn't tell the whole truth.
