Romantic selfie. Stop rowing.

Stop rowing. This is so nice.

-Careful. -I'm gonna fall.

-Here. I got you. Careful. -Okay, that's it. All right.

No... The third one.

-Who are you sending it to? -Family, friends, Instagram...

No, we should make it a shared post.

Olivia, we've been dating for 28 hours.

But we know we're meant to be together. Don't you trust Rosario?

No, no, I trust her completely. Of course.

-Um, can I have the bag for a second? -Sure.

-Why'd you do that? -We have to start thinking as a couple.

As a couple, we don't want drugs.

We want love, affection, to start a family...

Oh fuck. Rosario saw a kid as well?

There goes the bag.

It got eaten by a carp.

DEATH INC.

Hey, people. Today we start a new chapter. Big things are on the way.

Each day I'm gonna roll out

one revolutionary idea that I'll pull from this jar.

I call this... One Day, One Boom! Boom!

I can't stand this guy.

Nieves, pick one at random.

Although there's only three here for the moment.

Let's see...

Oh...

This is a good one. Don't go anywhere.

Even if the idea is to smear shit on the floor,

we think it's utterly brilliant.

Really?

He'll step down as director once he's left his mark.

We want him out, pronto.

-But what counts as a mark, boss? -How should I know?

All right, read it.

-"Siesta." -Boom!

Siesta?

This has already been implemented by a lot of companies.

Naps are shown to improve performance and aid physical and mental recovery.

So starting today, here at Torregrosa, we'll be taking naps.

Are you serious?

Well, I think it's a brilliant initiative. We'll be more focused.

I think it's weird to take naps at work.

I already take them.

Here. I've got various pillows. Uh... You can each take one of these.

But it's voluntary, right? If I nap, I can't sleep at night.

No. Olivia, it's absolutely mandatory.

But don't worry. It's just a light snooze. It's not a deep slumber.

What if a client comes in and we're asleep?

Then they'll see that we're a modern company.

Well, Chemi, on behalf of the team, excellent work.

Thank you so much.

I hope you'll find tomorrow's idea just as exciting.

Why not pick another one since it's the launch?

Are you serious?

Should we do One Day, Two Booms?

Please do.

Here, Laia.

Your turn. Let fate decide.

This one's great. Don't go anywhere.

This! Let's get this for his present.

Show me. Yeah, sure.

Let's buy a gaming console for your bully. Come on.

-Let's go. -But he invited me to his birthday.

Sweetheart, find him something else. Okay? Come on.

Under €15.

Vanesa? Do you have the day off?

-You haven't heard? -Heard what?

Your mother fired me for...

...for harassing the intern.

-Why did you harass the intern? -I didn't harass anyone!

It was... it was a setup.

By that asshole Dámaso so he could take charge.

-Come on. -How about an electric bike?

New director?

-Come on. Let's go. -What's our opinion of Dámaso?

Read it.

-"Intercompany sports team." -Boom!

A small business should be part of the community.

To create synergies with other businesses, which is why

I've taken the liberty of signing us up for the local business basketball league.

-Oh, I love the NBA! -I hate sports.

Every game is an opportunity to build relationships.

And all those people that we meet

are going to come to us when they lose a loved one.

Fabulous idea, Chemi.

And the games will be during work hours, right?

Uh, the games will be whenever they're scheduled,

and we'll train here at the funeral home anytime it's dead.

But not after lunch 'cause we have to take a nap.

-This whole thing is surreal. -And is playing basketball voluntary?

No, Olivia, it's absolutely mandatory.

Well, uh, I guess we're done here.

Chemi, why not draw the last piece of paper?

Morales was just asking about it.

One Day, Three Booms!

Should we go all out?

All right. Let's do it since there's only one left.

Let's see. Excellent.

Seizenso. Boom!

Has anyone heard of Seizenso?

It's a Japanese funeral practice...

No, no, no, don't explain it. I'm gonna do it.

Does anyone know how many people die each day in Spain?

1,200!

And do you know how many people don't die each day?

50 million!

Why target the tiny demographic who died?

Because we're a funeral home?

"Seizenso" means "funeral for the living."

It's a trend in Japan.

And as of today, we're gonna offer it at Torregrosa.

It sounds odd, but if the Japanese do it...

No, think about it.

There are only two days in your life when your loved ones come together.

Your wedding and your funeral.

Isn't it a shame to miss out on one of those?

I've been a phony and a suck-up for 20 years.

With Gonzalo, with Nieves, with Vanesa, with clients...

But this dumbass is gonna give me a stroke.

Hopefully, it won't take too long for him to leave his mark, boss.

The uncertainty's killing me.

I need a deadline. Close the damn door.

-Is this going to be your office? -I mean, it won't be Anselmo's.

-My father. -So you don't want to meet him after all?

No, I have lost that filial impulse.

Mm.

Well, we should find an old person,

or a sick one because Chemi wants to do a Seizenso.

I'll leave that with you. And bring me a rooibos.

Okay, boss.

-Not too hot. -Not too hot.

Here, try this size.

I'm gonna be the equipment manager and coach.

Uh, right now?

Look, you got number 12. How lucky.

-Ah, 12! -Like Stockton from the Utah Jazz.

-Yeah, yeah. -Let's see...

Fantastic!

Is your heart broken?

Not at all. My last ECG showed a normal heart rate

and sinus rhythm, no arrhythmias.

I'm talking about your feelings. How do you feel?

Bad.

I'm sorry. I screwed up. I got your hopes up again.

I might go back to the toll booth.

-No, no. -No, no, it was just a thought.

What I need is a double barrier. That's my focus today.

-What's a double barrier? -Olivia having a partner, which she does.

And me having a partner, which I don't.

Wouldn't it be better to be happy with yourself

and learn to let go out of maturity and acceptance?

Want to date me?

-No. -Why not?

Don't make me elaborate.

We could go for walks and have sex in different positions.

-Oh! -Ah.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Uh, Nieves, uh...

Oh, yeah, yeah. Try it on, try it on.

I noticed you were very supportive of my initiatives.

Ah, yeah. I'm blown away. Blown away.

At this rate, I'm pretty sure, uh... you'll have left your mark in...

Well, let's not put a deadline on it because...

I disagree with you. Isn't a challenge without a deadline unambitious?

Maybe another size up?

Consider Around the World in 80 Days.

If they'd said they were going around the world in an unspecified time period,

uh, the book would have been kind of bland.

Uh, well, I wouldn't know. I've never read it.

But I remember the cartoon with the lion and the frog.

Chemi, I think you can achieve your goal in one month.

I don't know, Dámaso.

Were my first three initiatives brilliant?

There's no question about it, but now the jar is empty.

And I don't want to be constrained by time.

Can you imagine Usain Bolt, running the 100 meters, saying,

"I don't want to be constrained by time"?

I'll consider it. But right now I need the office.

This one? But you have the other one.

That one's for directing. It's a management space.

Right now I need this space. A space to be creative and edgy.

I'm thinking up ideas for marketing.

Can't you think about them in there?

It's too small for you.

They're making us take naps and play with a ball. It's just like preschool.

Seizenso has merit.

If I were terminally ill, I'd do it.

It's a way to see everyone before you die.

You could just invite them for a meal. Like the Last Supper.

All right, Vanesa, I'll send you my address.

-Bye. See you this afternoon. -Nino.

-Yeah? -That's a different Vanesa, right?

No, no, Vanesa, our former director. She's coming to my son's birthday party.

Ah, for a minute, we thought you'd hooked up.

That's the idea. I only invited her so I could be alone with her.

While the kids are playing in the other room,

I'll open a bottle of wine, turn on the charm...

You're disgusting, you know that?

-What? I can't even court a woman? -I hope she slaps you in the face.

Oof...

I just got a little turned on.

Oof.

Ugh.

Hello. Excuse me.

Excuse me, uh...

Are any of you guys, um... going to die soon?

Listen, I work at, uh, Torregrosa Funeral Home.

And today, I'd like to tell you about a special offer, um...

Have you heard of Seizenso?

Is that the scented stuff that you burn?

Well, it's a funeral where the dead person...

...uh, is still alive.

Isn't that called a wedding?

-What the hell... -My God.

Oh fuck.

Are you sure you don't mind?

Of course not. I'm going to take it home. I might put it in the kitchen.

Thank you so much. I wanted to pay tribute to his memory.

-Oh shit! -You don't like it?

It's not that. It just took me by surprise is all.

It's beautiful. His veins are very prominent.

From now on, our friend José Luis will always be here to keep you company.

That's great.

-Boss. -Yeah?

I'm told I have to pick up a customer at noon for the "Theithentho."

Yeah, but stop saying "Seizenso." You're saying it weird.

"Theizentho."

"Theithenso"? "Sei"...

Hey!

My darling!

Holy shit...

Uh, can we... talk outside for a minute?

Sure, Antonio. I love surprise visits.

Listen, I want to keep smoking joints. I enjoy it.

Antonio, joints are really bad for you.

And I'm sorry, but I'm going surfing this weekend.

It's my mother's birthday.

And most importantly...

I'm happy for us to go rowing, to restaurants, to movies...

But I also want to fuck other people.

-What the hell are you saying, Antonio? -Like an open relationship.

Don't you understand?

Rosario saw the future. We're destined for each other!

Right, well, if it's destiny, it's gonna happen anyway.

I could go to Czechoslovakia, and we would still end up together.

Why would you want to go there? It hasn't existed in years.

It's an example. Sleeping with girls, going out with friends...

No!

-Where are you going? -I don't want to talk to you!

Morning.

Want to be my girlfriend?

Um, no, not really.

Ah.

But if you want to have sex in the kitchen, I'm down for it.

-No. -Want anything to eat or drink?

-I brought cherimoyas. -Ah.

See you.

Hey, boss.

The casket for the Seizenso,

does it get reused? Do they take it home?

I don't give a damn. The only thing I...

Ah! Pilar. Milagros.

-Other way. Pilar and Milagros. -Ah.

-Do you have a moment to talk? -Of course. Let's go to the, uh...

-Where is Chemi? -His other office.

So, how can I help?

Dámaso. What do you think of Chemi?

He's extremely creative...

a visionary.

Vanesa thought he was a drain on this company.

And I agree with her. So does Pilar.

He's fucking useless.

Okay.

Well, if we're being totally honest, then I'd say we're on the same wavelength.

Just so we're clear... what if he were fired?

I mean, I'd... I'd be happy about it.

Oh, that's great. We're all in agreement.

If it were up to us, he'd be fired today.

Uh, yeah. The sooner the better.

Then it's decided.

-Excellent. -That's that.

Let me know when you've spoken to Nieves.

Why do we need to speak to her?

Um, to ask her to fire Chemi?

We've asked you, haven't we?

-What do you expect me to do? -You're the damn director.

I'm not the director.

Then who's the director?

Chemi.

Sorry?

All right, so just lie down in here, tuck yourself in, and get cozy. Yeah?

I'd prefer to sit in the front and put some music on.

Yeah, but I meant to give you the full experience

of what it's like when you die.

Fine, fine. Just let me have a cigarette.

Didn't you say you had one and a half lungs removed?

My time is almost up anyway...

All right, before I decide if you're centers or forwards,

I want to know if you've ever played basketball.

-I haven't played since 1984. -I've never touched one of those balls.

Here, let's practice dribbling.

Sorry, Nieves! It's been a rough day.

That's okay. Try to steal the ball from Abel.

-Where are you going? -I'm needed.

-Where? -The play center.

Okay, Olivia, bounce it.

Come on, come on!

Come on!

Good, good.

TORREGROSA FUNERAL HOME

Hey, Laia, you're supposed to be asleep right now.

I just finished eating lunch.

Don't eat heavy meals. They cancel out the benefits of a nap.

-Anyone else in there? -Just Nino.

Hurry it up, chauffeur. You're wasting precious nap time.

Almost done.

Mm! Mm!

Don't forget. I'm leaving early today.

Martín's birthday? And you're having the party at ours?

Yeah, yeah. Don't come home until 11 or midnight.

The children are easily rattled.

What does he want me to be, a cuckqueen and a secondhand pothead?

Is that my destiny?

Maybe you should consider the possibility

that the medium is just a swindler and a fraud.

She's predicted a lot of things. And she cleansed your aura.

That woman spat in my face.

And you haven't killed since.

The other possibility is that she actually can see the future,

but she means someone else...

Manuela, take a note from Olivia.

She's fast asleep.

No, no, I'm not kidding.

It's my funeral.

It's something the Japanese came up with.

Okay. I'll see you here then.

Are you Marisa?

Yeah.

I'm meant to take you to the embalming room.

-Ah, yeah, sure. -Okay.

I was this close...

But at least you have two more people on your side.

You could be the Axis of Evil.

What do you mean, evil? We're the good guys.

Of course.

I don't have the energy for this.

I'm gonna die as a successor.

It's always the same.

I get my hopes up, slap. I get my hopes up, slap.

-Smile. The boss is coming. -Who cares? I'm done sucking up to him.

Hey!

Have you seen the training hoop I set up?

Yeah, it looks very pro.

I'm euphoric about my three-pointer of ideas.

Looks like I'll only need a month as director, Dámaso.

Sorry?

I'm ready to sign the handover.

Are you saying that I should... prepare my contract as director?

Dated a month from today.

And give yourself a raise.

Okay, if everyone has all of their things, we're going to...

Abel, it's been a long time.

-Want to be my girlfriend again? -No, I'm dating a gravedigger.

Ah. Know anyone who might want to?

No.

Any of you?

Two months ago, they told me I had one month left.

I'm on borrowed time.

I'm so sorry. How are you feeling?

It's funny, once you know that your time is up, it's as if your life...

Hello!

-We were discussing something personal. -Fantastic. Uh...

Could you lay naked on the table while you finish this conversation?

No.

But Seizenso is about experiencing the same thing as the deceased.

Chemi, she said no.

Uh, do you want us to wash your hair? Because they washed the deceased's hair.

She doesn't want that.

Um, I think that'd be nice if we have time.

Do you do coloring?

Uh, do we?

Anselmo, have you seen...

What are you doing?

Huh? Uh...

Taking a nap. It's mandatory.

It's 7:00 p.m.

I'll set an alarm tomorrow.

-Do you know where Chemi is? -No.

-Now, do you have claustrophobia? -I have lung cancer, stage four.

Yeah, but do you mind getting in the casket for a few minutes?

Ah, no, no.

Because the idea is you'll be in there when your loved ones arrive.

Oh, that's no problem.

So we'll start the music. They'll all take a seat.

And when the song finishes, you'll stand up.

It sounds a bit like Count Dracula?

Oh, no way. It'll be a Seizenso to remember.

Uh, Chemi. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Coming. Uh, I'll be right back, Marisa.

Chemi, I have the contract ready for your signature.

-Oh sure, of course. -Ah, here you are.

-Let's see. -Sign in the margin and at the end.

Mm.

I wonder if it's too long, a month.

I think I can leave my mark in three weeks. Or less.

Print it again, and put two weeks.

No, there is no need for that. We'll just add an addendum and...

Make it 13 days.

Even more of a challenge.

Fuck me.

-What are you doing here? -I need advice on how to flirt.

I've tried 17 times in three hours unsuccessfully.

Abel, you don't have any charm.

I mean, you're pale, awkward, you look like, mm...

A psychopath.

You should lower your standards and go for the desperate.

Who are the desperate?

Bingo-playing spinsters, drunk on Baileys are a safe bet.

Okay? Now get lost. I'm waiting for someone.

Bingo-playing spinsters, drunk on Baileys are a safe bet.

Marisa.

Marisa, now.

Uh, I got it.

Marisa.

Marisa. You have to get up now.

Is something wrong?

Is she okay? Marisa?

Marisa?

Manuela, can you come here for a moment?

Marisa?!

Lakers are down by two with seven seconds to go. Six, five...

Kobe Bryant passes to Chemi. Three seconds left.

-He sees an opening. Three, two... -Chemi! Chemi!

Chemi, uh, we have a problem with the Seizenso.

What happened?

It's no longer a Seizenso.

Ah. She's here.

-Uh, who are you? -Beltrán's grandma.

And is Vanesa on her way, or...

No, no, it's just me and him.

Right, well, the birthday party's canceled.

I'm sorry. See ya.

How are you, Chemi?

I'm bad, Dámaso. I'm really bad.

It was still profitable in the end. They've asked for a wake and cremation.

Just sign right there.

I thought that I was revolutionizing the sector, but I killed a woman.

You didn't kill anyone.

And thanks to you, she was spared her final days of agony.

In a way, that's another mark. Your signature.

Wait, what is this?

The updated documents for the change of director.

In 13 days, like you said.

No, no. I'm gonna need more time.

Should I change it back to a month?

We'll just have to see. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

But don't worry. This is only temporary.

Your time will come.

Fifty-nine. Sixty-six. Sixty-six.

Twenty-five.

Twenty.

-Good afternoon, ladies. -Nine.

Thirty.

First, we have to file a conciliation claim

with the mediation service.

Can't I just sue them directly for wrongful dismissal?

It's a mandatory preliminary step.

You'll be summoned for a conciliation hearing.

And if no agreement can be reached concerning a payout,

then you can sue.

I'll fight this to the death.

I think that we need to put the work into our relationship, Rosario.

But he thinks if you've seen the future

and we're together, then it'll just happen.

I think destiny is destiny.

Um, I never said that you two would end up together.

Yeah, you said it two days ago.

No, I said someone you see every day. But it's someone else.

Yes!

-Cool it, Antonio. So who is it? -Sorry.

Ooh. You see the pale guy every day. And the driver.

And the baker. And there's two guys I always see on the bus...

You have to narrow it down for me, Rosario.

Bring me an object from each of them, and I'll tell you who it is.

-An object? -An item.

I know what an object is, Antonio.

Hm.

-Hello? -Donostiako Hospitalia.

Donostiako what?

Donosti Hospital. I'm calling on behalf of emergency services...

Are you the family of Asier Urritzaga?

All right.

Remember the other day when you asked for some tips on picking up girls?

-Stand here. Straight like this. -Mm-hmm.

Okay, first, you want to bend one knee like this.

And then drag the other foot.

And keep that going.

This is how you pick up girls?

-Oh! -God damn it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Take your hands out of your pockets.

-You want this kind of motion. -It's actually pretty easy.

Try to smooth it out.

It looked a lot more complicated when I was, uh...

Less tiptoes. Otherwise, your butt sort of pokes out...

No, I mean, I just need to practice it, but for my first try, uh...
