[birds chirping]

LILI: [Texting]
Hey, are you close?

[indistinct chattering
in distance]

[ringtone beeps]

LAURA: [Texting]
heyyyy grl, how's it going!??

no show :[

LILI: [Texting]
WHAAAAT?!

It's been 35 minutes.
He's not coming.

LAURA: [Texting]
Well fck.

LILI: [Texting]
I know.
Fckkkk.

LAURA: [Texting]
Well you could wait a bit.

LILI: [Texting]
for what?

LAURA: [Texting]
the city's a mess.
he's probably just l8.

LILI: [Texting]
he hasn't even texted

LAURA: [Texting]
his battery died?

LILI: [Texting]
R U HIS MOTHER?

LAURA: [Texting]
LOOOL

EDUARDO:
Lili?

Hey!
Sorry, I was --

LILI: [Texting]
He's HERE.
Don't wait up.

Bishhh

[birds chirping]

So?
I was just about to leave.

Shit. My bad.
It's just you won't believe it.

Try me.

I got mugged.

What?

Yeah. I was on my way from work
and two guys took out a gun.

They told me to hand
over my phone and wallet.

Y'know, the city.

Are you ok?

Yes. I just didn't have
a way to text you.

I'm sorry.

No, I am.

Now I can't pay for the museum,

but if you want
we can take a walk.

Pay?
What century is this?

You think I'm one of those girls

who wants everything
to be paid for.

Nah, it's on me.

I feel bad that
you had to come all this way

after what happened.

This way
you can forget about it

and then we'll see
what we can do.

[chuckles]

Ok.

[chuckles]

Are you always like this?

Like what?

[indistinct chattering
in distance]

I don't know.

Improvising.

[chuckles]

I guess so.
I'd never thought about it.

What are you like?

To be honest,
I don't like improvising.

I'm more of a planner.

[chuckles]

Today, let's let go.
See what happens.

[traffic revving in distance]

[deep sigh]

Hello.
Two tickets, please.

[indistinct chattering]

LILI:
Here you are.

Thank you.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Have you been here before?

Yep, I'd like to come
more often though.

That's weird.

You didn't have
any profile pictures here.

And it's a nice place.

You saw my Facebook?

Um, no-- I mean I didn't want
to sound like a stalker.

Don't worry.

It's just
you don't have a picture here.

Doesn't bother me.

Really?

I'm flattered, actually.

What about you?

Did you see my pictures?

You're not going to tell me?

[kids laughing
in distance]

[indistinct chattering
in distance]

[birds chirping
in distance]

[indistinct chattering
in distance]

Well. I'm not sure. I think
that's just a story you made up.

But I honestly don't think
that was the artist's intention.

I dunno. It could be.

But don't you think
that painting was a bit...

[growling]

[laughter]

I mean yeah, I guess.

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

Art's like that.

We all give our own
interpretation, right?

The artist creates the work.

And we give it meaning.

What it makes us feel.

[indistinct chattering
in distance]

We all give our own
interpretation?

Wow.

[chuckles]

What?

No, nothing. I mean, I didn't
think you were like that.

Do you mean... smart?

What? No, no. I'm sorry

I mean, so deep.

[chuckles]

How did you think I was?

I don't know.

I hadn't thought about it.

And now what do you think?

[deep sigh]

I think that...

...its getting late.

And you probably
want to go home.

That depends.

What's on your mind?

[chuckling]

[birds chirping]

I'd like to... keep talking.

Get to know you more.

I accept.

I'll tell you what.

Since you paid
for the museum...

...I'll cook dinner for you.

Interesting.

Hmm.

Your talents are showing.

[chuckles]

So, you're a chef and a stalker.
What else can you do?

I shouldn't have mentioned
the Facebook thing.

- Are you blushing?
- [laughs]

Tell me.

About what?

About yourself. I don't know.
Whatever you want.

What would you like to know?

Hmm, for starters...

What do you do for a living?
Where are you from?

What's your favorite smell?

What music do you like?

What makes you happy?
What bothers you?

And most importantly...

Do you want...

Do you want to have a partner
for the rest of your life?

Uh...

I don't know. Let's see.

Ask me everything again.
One by one.

[motorcycle revving
in distance]

What do you do for a living?

I search.

Where are you from?

Here... there.
I don't know anymore.

[chuckles]

What's your favorite smell?

- Spell?
- Smell!

Smell?

Yes. Haven't you thought of it?

No.

Well, think about it.

I don't know.

Coffee maybe?

Yeah, the smell
of morning coffee.

Yes. It smells nice.

What music do you like?

Queen.

Hmm!

[humming]

Another one smells like balls.

[humming]

Another one smells like balls.

Owww!

[laughing]

Bravo!

Thank you.

Ooooh!

[laughing]

What makes you happy?

Sleeping.

Sleeping a lot. And...

A woman who can make fun
of herself.

I also like movies.

A romantic dinner.

Red wine.

What bothers you?

Green olives.

[laughing]

And...

Do you want to have a partner
for the rest of your life?

[indistinct chattering
in background]

Ask me that later.

[music playing in background]

[indistinct chattering
in background]

Do you online date a lot?

No, to be honest I barely date.

But I don't know, I saw your
profile and took a chance.

What about you?

Well, I'm not gonna lie.

Oh, thanks.

Oh and this should be
very clear.

For me, honesty is the basis
of every relationship.

Agreed.

Well, yeah. I've gone out
with a few people.

Even girls.

You know, when nothing works,
just switch.

- [chuckles]
- Okay!

Surprised?

No, no.

You imagined it, didn't you!
Perv!

No.

Anyway.

Here I am. Single and going
to a cute guy's apartment.

Unless you want to end the date
after my confession.

I don't know. I guess
I'll have to think about it.

I'm kidding.

- Stupid!
- [laughing]

But I have to confess
something too.

The stage is yours.

Thank you.

You have to beat
my best date ever.

Who is she?

Sandra Rodriguez.

When I was 12
I had the perfect date.

Tell me more about my rival.

[laughing]

I asked my parents
for some money,

and took her out.

Right. You like to pay
for everything.

Oh come on. I was a kid.

I didn't have a job or anything.

True.

And where did you go?

I took her to McDonald's.

Then to the movies.

And then we went to a mall.

Ambitious!

[laughing]

Well, at the mall there was
this new ice-skating rink.

I thought
it was like Rockefeller Center,

I bet it was way smaller though.

And you fell down.

Nah. Quite the opposite.

I gave her my hand
so she wouldn't fall.

She held it tight.

And she didn't let go
for like 15 minutes.

Oh!

I don't know.

Like we would have gone there
just to be together,

not just skate.

Oh!

Did you kiss?

[laughter]

Good afternoon. Are you familiar
with the tradition

of the "lucky canary"?

No.

It's an old Mexican tradition.

With your name,
the canary draws a lucky fortune

especially for you.

What's your name?

Lili.

Have you done it before?

How much?

Five pesos.

Now look, how the little bird
will draw your luck.

Ok. It's for Lili.
Draw a nice good luck fortune.

That's it.

A nice message for you.

Thank you.

What's its name?

- Panchito.
- Panchito.

Thanks, Panchito.

- Good luck!
- Thank you mister.

- Let's see.
- No, no.

It's bad luck to share
a fortune.

[chuckles]

[canaries chirping]

Well then, did you get
to 1st base or not?

First base...

[laughs]

Well yeah, it was my first kiss.

How was it?

Her mom called her
from the other side of the rink.

And Sandra turned to me.

We locked eyes for an eternity.

Then she came up close.

She sang something.

She sang... I can't remember.

And then she kissed me.

She kissed me.

And then what happened?

Did you start going out?

No.

No.

That weekend we found out
her Dad had embezzled millions

from a State-owned company.

They fled from the country
and I never see her again.

Whoa.

Yeah.

Sorry about that.

Although I'm actually happy.

- [laughing]
- Why?

I mean, maybe if her dad
wasn't a thief

they wouldn't have had to flee,

And maybe you'd still be
with Sandra,

And we wouldn't have met.

Well I don't know.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I think we were meant
to meet each other.

Meant to?

Well, however you want
to call it.

- What?
- Fate.

No, I don't believe in fate.

- No?
- No.

No, I think one has to make
their own decisions.

Of course, but...

I do think
there are some things that..

The universe or whatever
you wanna call it gives them

to you as an experience. Right?

But if you don't do anything
they won't happen.

Sure, but don't you think
there are people

you're meant
to cross paths with?

I suppose so.

If you don't make
those moments happen...

I don't know.

Yeah.

I think everyone is master
of their own fate.

No magic helping you.

And if you mess up,
or do good it's up to you.

So, you need to plan everything?

Yes, I do plan everything.

Hey there! How are you?

You look familiar.
Are you actors?

I don't mean to brag, but I am.

Really?

Yes, I am.

I'm actually in this pilot

called "Buy cupcakes
from the cute girl

- with the pink hair."
- [laughing]

Just kidding.

No really, I am selling
these cupcakes,

maybe you can help me out
with one?

They're really good!

What flavor are they?

I have coke, mushrooms, pot,
and LSD.

You know what? Drugs are bad.

But they're vegan!

We are FBI officers.

Just kidding. I used soy milk
and fruit flavors.

Sorry, we're on a diet.

No one can say no to dessert.

Do you want one?

And I see you all lovey-dovey.

C'mon, a cupcake
for the sweethearts?

Not this time, thank you.

Thank you, anyway.

Good luck!

We just cross here
and we're there.

Great.

[♪♪♪]

Have you been here before?

Nope. Not around here.

I like it.

That's typical from here, uh?

Yeah. Sounds nice, isn't it?

Hello. Good evening.

EDUARDO:
Is there anyone
I'm competing against?

LILI:
To be honest I can't remember
a date like yours.

EDUARDO:
But you don't have a first love?

LILI:
No.

EDUARDO:
No?

Well there was one...

No. Better if I don't tell you.

Oh no, now you have to.

Well it's not really
a first love.

But when I was 15 o 16 years
old.

Sounds like a first love.

No dummy. Wait.

It was just a neighbor
that lived in my building

and I like him a lot.

[children shouting
in distance]

Did he go to your school?

No, no, no.

He was 35 years old.

Ah, okay.

And all my friends had lost
their virginity. I hadn't.

And I was rushing to grow up.

So, he was your first time.

No, no.

No, but I would have,
I really liked him.

I think he liked me too.

He never did anything, but...

You know when you like someone
and you know they like you too?

Yeah.

Me too.

[laughing]

Sometimes I would wait for him
to walk his dog.

And I would make up
I had to get something

at the store just to talk.

[bell dinging
in distance]

My friends were sleeping
with boys

and I was dreaming of a man.

Sounds like you were a lolita.

I guess.

And well, we exchanged numbers
and texted.

Everyday I felt closer to him,
I guess he felt the same way.

Don't be stupid. They were
very innocent messages.

He never texted first and never
made any kind of suggestion.

But "thanks" to a friend
from school.

My family knew that I was
talking with a 35-year-old man.

First, they asked him why
he was talking with a teenager.

Then the whole neighborhood
found out.

That's when the threats started.

Graffiti on his door.

Kids insulted him.

They even keyed his car.

So, he left.

And that's as close
as I've gotten to a first love.

And as you can tell,
I was never even with him.

[traffic passes by]

[scoffs]

Sounds complicated.

Yeah.

Well it's never too late
to start right?

What?

[laughing]

We're here.

It's big.

I guess that Sandra and...

Rodrigo.

And Rodrigo,
have good opponents today huh?

Don't worry.

I'll do my best.

[dog barking]

[keys clanking]

[door closes]

Sorry, but I've been robbed
here to, is it ok?

LILI:
No worries.

I thought this was a quiet area.

I did too.

Come in.

Thank you.

LILI:
Wow!

Your home is lovely.

EDUARDO:
Voilá.

Want something to drink?

LILI:
Well you said
you liked red wine.

I'm no expert but I'd try
one of your favorites.

EDUARDO:
Perfect.

Then I'll go to the kitchen
and see what I can get you.

I'll be right back.

Let me spoil you.

I could definitely marry you.

EDUARDO:
Did you say something?

I said I could definitely
have two.

EDUARDO:
Of course, it's very delicious.

- [music plays]
- [gasps]

[chuckles]

EDUARDO:
Wine has many qualities, some,

if drunk moderately,
increases life expectancy.

Unless a car hits you
or you're murdered.

[laughing]

I suppose it's a possibility.

This is a Ribera del Duero.

You really want to impress me,
huh?

Tell me more.

I've seen people swirl
the glasses like this.

That's to measure
the alcohol level.

Isn't that on the bottle?

Yeah but come on.

I'm joking.
I love how you turn red.

[laughing]

You can tilt your glass
like this.

Or swirl it like
you were doing it.

And however long the drip
takes to return, the liquid.

Uh-huh.

Is the level of alcohol.

The more alcohol,
the more it takes to drip down.

Looks like this one
doesn't have much.

The drip returns fast.

Well then, cheers!

No, no. Wait a little bit.

You still need to smell it.

You have to take it in, deeply.

Breath deep.

Tell me what you smell.

[sniffing]

Citrics?

[laughing]

Yes. Very good.

It has orange.

Some wood notes.

Sorry, I'm being snobby,
aren't I?

- No.
- No.

I like learning new things.

To learning new things?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

It's really nice.

I'm no expert,
but It's really nice.

Cool.

I'm happy you did.
Now, I'll be right back.

Make yourself at home.

Are you just drinking that?

What?

You haven't touched your wine.

Here.

I don't have cooties.

Plus we already kissed.

What's mine is yours
and what's yours is mine.

Or are you trying
to get me drunk

and take advantage?

No.

Well then,
it's your turn to toast.

To cooties.

- Right.
- [laughing]

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Ok now I really
will start cooking.

And let me spoil you.

Is there something
you don't like to eat?

I don't eat meat. I'm sorry.

You're vegetarian?

Yeah.

EDUARDO:
That's weird,
it didn't say on your profile.

Of course, it does.

EDUARDO:
No, really.

Yes.

Here it says that I'm...

Shit.

My bad. You're right.

EDUARDO:
Vegetarian or vegan?

Vegetarian.
I haven't made the decision.

EDUARDO:
Oh ok, I'll whip something up.

Perfect,
I'll sit here with the wine.

What's the big deal?

Do you like to read?

EDUARDO:
Yes.

You have a lot of books.

[chuckles]

But it seems you want to be
some kind of Sherlock Holmes.

Everything is crime novel.

EDUARDO:
I like mystery a lot,
it intrigues me.

Do you like to read?

Well, I don't think of myself
as a bookworm but I do read.

EDUARDO:
What was the last thing
that you read?

Fight Club 2by Chuck Palahniuk,
Do you know it?

EDUARDO:
Oh yeah, I saw the movie, from
the first book I'm guessing.

Yup. That one.

I love his writing.

EDUARDO:
You can lend it to me later.

Of course.

[phone buzzing]

EDUARDO:
Dinner is almost ready,
and I have to say

this is the best night
of my life.

What's this, Eduardo?

Is this your phone?

EDUARDO:
Yes.

But you said you were mugged
and that's why you were late.

EDUARDO:
I know. I'm sorry.

Are you going to tell me
the truth then?

Stop acting like a child
and tell me what happened.

I'm embarrassed to admit it.
I overslept.

LILI:
What?

I'm really sorry. I thought...

I came back from work
and I thought

I'd have time for a nap but...

I'm sorry.

You're kidding, right?

No, really, I thought
I'd set the alarm

but it didn't sound. Sorry.

You should have sent me a text.

No. I was afraid
if I said I'd overslept

you would have told to f--

No, no, no.

Think about it.

Now, you've met me but...

If someone arrives late
for half an hour

and on top says
"sorry, I overslept."

What would you have done?

I'd think he didn't give
a shit about the date.

So?

So, you probably
wouldn't have even replied.

That's for sure.

So you thought
it was better to lie,

and that I wouldn't find out?

I told you,
honesty is very important to-

To be honest, I really like you.

It's been a long time
since I've felt like this.

I feel happy to talk
to someone again.

Text each other.

It's nice.

And when I saw you there
waiting I thought...

"Wow, this girl hasn't left.
She's worth it."

"Don't mess it up,
don't mess it up."

And the money?

That's true.

I mean no,

Like I wasn't mugged,

But I forgot it
when I rushed out.

I see.

But look,
I know this is important to you,

so if you want to leave...

I'll walk you out.

I can take you where you need,
and it's ok

if you don't want to see me
anymore.

LILI:
Eduardo.

This is our first fight,
isn't it?

What?

Yes. This is our first official
fight as a couple.

EDUARDO:
You mean you're not angry?

Look, there's a difference
between chalk and cheese

I'm mad about your lies, but...

To leave and miss out
on getting to know you,

well that's different.

EDUARDO:
So, you don't want to leave?

Mm-hmm.

Come here and apologize.

I'm sorry.

Really?

Scout's honour.

You sound pretty mature.

Sorry.

When you said earlier...

That this was the best night
of your life, was that true?

One hundred percent.

Ok.

So, shall we start over?

No?

No.

Let's just pick up
where we left off.

And where did we stop?

I dunno. You tell me.

Dinner.

Yes

No I mean dinner is burning,
wait a sec.

LILI:
Shit.

- [grunting]
- Careful.

Are you okay?

[grunting]

I'm such a dumbass.

[coughing]

Come here.

Let me see.

[grunting]

Yes.

EDUARDO:
It really hurts. Careful.

It hurts a lot.
I think I burned a nerve.

LILI:
Don't be a crybaby.

EDUARDO:
I'm not. It really hurts.

What?

- Pussy.
- Pussy?

Yeah well
you didn't burn yourself.

[groans]

It's fine.

Women have a higher
pain threshold than men anyway.

We can withstand childbirth
and we're not complaining

about small things.

You must have already
given birth to three children

while taking selfies, huh?

[laughing]

Nice.

Alright,
do yo have any Lavender oil?

Olive oil?

Ok. You don't have any.

Any vinegar? Honey?

EDUARDO:
Yeah. I got vinegar.

And the plates are?

EDUARDO:
On the left.

Well,
this is an old home remedy,

the ones that work best
of course.

Grandma taught me.

It won't smell too good,
but it will help.

So...

Now you have to drink it all
at once.

Really?

You want it to get infected
and then cut off?

It's not like a zombie bit me.

I'll throw it away then.

No, no. Wait a second.

If your grandma says so,
I guess..

Here I go.

[laughing]

I knew it.

Of course, why were
you going to do it then?

Well you said
you didn't lie.

That's a low blow. I didn't lie,
I was just joking.

Well it was a lie to me,
and you did it very well.

Stop whining.

Give me your hand.

It's going to sting a little,
ok?

- [grunting]
- There, there.

You have to leave it
in a few minutes.

It will get better.

See, how does it feel?

Much better.

Let me kiss the place
where you're feeling some pain

if it doesn't feel better
I'll do it again.

Better?

A lot better.

Thank you.

You said you like me,
didn't you?

The question is what are we
going to do with that?

I don't think
it will taste very good.

EDUARDO:
Me neither.

Let's see what we have here.

Ham...

Meat...

Cheese...

And grapes.

Very well.

If you want
you can bring the glasses

and I'll prepare a tasty dinner.

Yes Ma'am.

[laughter]

You know what they say
about grapes and cheese?

EDUARDO:
What?

They taste like a kiss.

[chuckles]

It really tastes good.

Why don't you bring this over
to the table

while I pour us some more wine.

Sounds good?

LILI:
Cool. I'll help you.

No, no, no.

I lied, you paid
for the tickets,

and you're fixing up dinner.

Please, let me do one thing
for you.

It's no problem,
but if you want to.

Please.

Ok.

Don't take too long.

Or it will get cold.

[clock ticking]

[♪♪♪]

What did you say
about grapes and cheese?

LILI:
That they tastes like a kiss.

That's funny. I wonder why.

LILI:
I dunno.

Maybe because
they're both pleasures.

EDUARDO:
Yep. They are pleasures.

Almost!

Did you like the wine?

LILI:
Yeah, it was good.

Delicious, right?

LILI:
This is very french.
Cheese, grapes, wine.

EDUARDO:
Yeah.

LILI:
A very glamorous dinner.

Hey where do you buy
your fruit?

It's super good.

Thanks.

EDUARDO:
At a nearby market.

[♪♪♪]

[indiscernible speech]

Eduardo.

Eduardo.

What's up?

I don't know.
You're acting weird.

Did I do something?
Am I going too fast?

No, no, no.

No.

There it is again.

What?

The lies, Eduardo.
I don't like you lying to me.

Something's wrong
and you're not telling me.

I feel like
this must be your worst date.

You won't want to see me again.

Of course not.
Why would you think that?

Well, this doesn't speak
very highly of me.

No, it doesn't.

You could be the president
or Gandhi for that matter

and still have a bad day.

I guess so.

[grunting]

Now, eat cheese and grapes
and compare.

[chuckles]

[taking deep breaths]

Why don't we toast?

Ok, and what to?

To the worst dates in history.

[laughing]

To the worst dates in history.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

What? Just that little sip?
You barely drank anything.

What do you mean?

You were the one
who just told me

how to taste a good wine,

now you want me to drink
like a teenager?

I didn't say that,
but you should drink more.

It's a toast.

Well you haven't drank
much either.

Look.

[clears throat]

Okay!

- [coughing]
- [cheering]

Now it's your turn.

No.

No.

- Well.
- Go for it.

- Ok.
- Come on, Lili.

But it's too much.

EDUARDO:
You can do it. Come on.

It's fine.

[laughing]

EDUARDO:
Come on, come on.

Fine, fine.

EDUARDO:
You'll love it.

Come on.

Here I go.

Yes!

Yes Lili! Well done.

Well done. Very well done, Lili.

Wonderful.

You did it great.

LILI:
What's up with you?

I mean it's so good.

You know it's not the first time
I drink right?

Well yes but...

Cuz, you're kind of acting
like a creep.

[laughing]

Yes?

What? No, I'm sorry,
it's just the first time that...

I hadn't met someone like you."

I know that,
because I'm unique.

Yes. You are...

Unique.

So?

Where did we leave off?

No, Eduardo.

- Come on.
- Stop.

Eduardo, I told you to stop.

I'm telling you to fucking stop.

Ok. Calm down!

We just kissed,
what's the problem?

Well yeah, but not like this.

I don't like it.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, I think
I'm just a bit tipsy.

Sorry, I'm an idiot.

Yeah, a big idiot.

I'm leaving.

- What?
- Yes.

EDUARDO:
What? No, Lili, I'm sorry.

We were having such a good time.

Yeah.

Yes, we were. That's past tense
as in "You fucked up."

No. Lili?

Are you walking me out?

I'd go myself but it's locked.

Calm down,
are you really leaving?

LILI:
Yes, really.
I'm not feeling it.

You seriously want to leave now?

Yes, I want to leave.
The keys please.

- You're leaving?
- Yes.

Ha ha ha.
Very funny, Eduardo.

What? I can't find them.

What's your problem.

What a coincidence.

I'm texting my friend and
telling her you kidnapped me.

Oh stop, Lili. Don't overreact.
Calm down.

By now I don't want you
to stay either.

I'll just find the keys.

Are you ok?

Yeah, the keys.

I don't know maybe I left them
in the kitchen.

- Are you coming?
- No. I'll wait here.

I can't find them.

LILI:
Well, look further.

That's what I'm doing.

Stop it, Eduardo. I don't feel
well. I want to leave.

- Do you want an aspirin?
- No, I want to leave...

Leave. Yes I know.
You want to leave.

But what should I do?
I can't find the keys.

Help me look under the table.

LILI:
Stop messing with me.

Well, aren't you the one
who wants the keys?

LILI:
Don't be an ass.

Let me see
if they're near the stove.

Nope. I don't see them.

Do you see them?

Lili.

Lili?

Lili?

Are you ok, Lili?

Lili.

[panting]

Lili?

Are you just pretending?

Are you lying?

Even unconscious you're a liar,
huh?

Hey.

Hey!

[laughing]

It took you long enough.

This nonsense about
the cheese and grapes.

"Cheese and grapes taste
like kisses".

They are good though.

And you're hot.

That explains a lot.

Well then,

Let's get to work.

[♪♪♪]

Where did you
leave your phone?

Here.

How about we take this upstairs?

You'll love it.

It's more intimate, quiet.

Want to go?

Of course, I do! You're so cool!

I know, I know.

Ok. Let's go then.

Here we go.

Whoa, wait a sec.

I don't want to get hurt.

That's enough.

one, two...

[grunting]

I should have given you
the drink upstairs.

I'm so stupid.

[♪♪♪]

What do you think?

Very well.

[panting]

Let's get you comfortable.

[♪♪♪]

[sighs]

I have to wake you up, right?

Let's do it.

[♪♪♪]

[sniffling]

[coughing]

What's going on?

EDUARDO:
Calm down,
I didn't tie it too tight

so you could still breathe.

Help!

EDUARDO:
Nevermind.
No one can hear you.

That must be another
one of your lies.

[screaming]

What did I do to you, Eduardo?

EDUARDO:
Nothing.

So?

What do you want?

LILI:
Ok. I get it.

It's one of those
hidden camera pranks, right?

There's a camera. Like on TV.

Candid Camera, right?

Ok guys, I got it!

Very funny,
but you can untie me now.

Eduardo, stop fooling around
and untie me.

Please. Untie me.

EDUARDO:
Are you deaf?

Or are you stupid?

Must be one of those two
because...

I just told you,
no one can hear you.

So.

Are you going to keep up
the drama like Meryl Streep?

Or can we begin?

Begin?

To tell you why you are here.

Why you're tied up.

And last but not least.

Why you are going to die
tonight.

Please, Eduardo.

- No?
- Please.

- Yes?
- Please.

Ok. Let's start.

What did you say
you liked to read?

Fight Club, right?

Nevermind.

Imagine our first page reads
"Based on true events".

Tough crowd, huh?

Ok.

Since we're in Mexico,
and in Mexico stories

don't always have happy endings.

This story is not exception.

Oh, by the way.

In every story there is a hero,
and a villain.

A good guy and a bad guy.

They're usually easy
to identify.

The obvious case is Star Wars.

Princess Leia always dresses
in pristine white.

While Lord Darth Vader
in all-black.

If we saw our clothing.

Who would be the hero and who
would be the villain, Lili?

I don't know, Eduardo.
I don't understand any of this.

I hate spoilers, but...

In this story, the bad guy
doesn't look like they should.

Sometimes they're warm,
happy people.

I don't like the term,
but, innocent.

But just on the outside,
to lure in their victims.

Eduardo, let me go.
Nothing has happened.

I won't tell anyone.

They're charismatic people,
charming.

Sorry.

Be quiet. Like at the movies.

[Lili sobbing]

Not a word, understand?

[Lili sobbing]

Do you know that in Mexico,

every 90 minutes
someone goes missing?

LILI:
No, I didn't know.

In a city, no. In a country
with such statistics.

How can there be people
like us?

Who think an app is fun
and safe to date?

Why Lili?

I don't know.
I don't know.

So why do you use it?

I asked you a question.

For love, for fun, company.
I don't know.

EDUARDO:
Yeah. All good answers.

Please, don't let my opinion
have an influence on this.

I believe that in a place
with 7,000 million people.

We feel alone.

Can you believe it?

Humans are social by nature.

But we're so self-centered.

That we feel alone.

LILI:
And what's wrong with that?

Wrong? Nothing.

No, no, no.

Actually, loneliness is part
of existence.

But we lower our defenses

when we feel the slightest bit
of hope.

We buy a one-way ticket
for our precautions and...

We forget about them.

And that's where
external factors come.

There are people,
if you can call them that.

Who are not right in here.

Do you know what they do Lili?

Do you?

I don't know. They fuck...

And never call back.
I don't know, Eduardo.

[laughing]

They fuck and not call again.

[laughing]

Sorry but I need to laugh.

It's the best thing I've heard.
No that's not it.

They don't do that.

I mean, it can happen.
Ok they do it.

But...

That's not the reason
you're here.

Let me remind you
my three questions.

Why are you here.

Why are you tied up.

And last but not least.

Why are you going
to die tonight.

What these people do is murder.

And that's what you are.

Lili.

You are a murderess.

[♪♪♪]

What?

[laughing]

Do you know this man?

Do you recognize him?

[laughing]

- Do you?
- Eduardo

No you don't.

Let's see.

Him? Who is he?

No. You don't know him either.

I don't know
what you're talking about,

I think you're confused.

Do you remember her?

- No.
- No?

"When nothing works,
just switch."

Wasn't that what you said?

Yes, but I don't know
who they are.

I don't understand anything.

EDUARDO:
You killed these people Lili.

These people are missing,

and the only thing
they have in common, is you.

You're crazy, darling.

If someone's crazy here,
it's you. Darling.

Why do you think that?

You know me, Eduardo.

We'd been chatting online
for a while.

EDUARDO:
I was lying.

It was a plan to bring you here
tonight.

Let me go.

I don't even know
you're real name.

Mine is Eduardo,
what about you?

Lili.

The wine really got
into your head.

Everything is right here.

Of course, it is.

Do you want to tell the story?

No, no, no.

You're doing so well.

Thank you.

Ok.

Well, I don't want to have
you here all night.

I'm going to make
the long story short.

We don't know your origin,

but we know you've been
in Mexico for two years.

This is the 6th time
you change identity

and I suppose this would be
your 7th, right?

Wow. It's like I'm a CIA agent.

No, no, no.

You're just a despicable woman.

That kills people.

We don't know why,
but we'd like to.

Why are you speaking in plural?

What do you mean?

"We don't know..."

You don't think
I did this alone did you?

I hired a hacker.

You know, all that
Deep Web stuff, it's real.

And surprisingly cheap.

LILI:
And there's a lot of shit too.
Don't you see?

These people made you think
I'm the person from your papers

to get your money.

They play you
for a fucking fool.

- [grunts]
- [panting]

[indistinct voices playing
on phone]

Do you know him?

ROBERTO: [On video]
Hey, bro?

Wait a sec.

ROBERTO: [On video]
You don't know
how much I miss you.

I have so much to tell you.

I'm dating this girl.

Really, I don't know
what she saw in me.

But, you'll know soon enough.

If all goes well.

I think you'll have to buy
a tux soon.

Let me leave this here,

she doesn't like pictures
too much.

She's coming.

Maybe you can meet her.

If all goes well,
I'll introduce her to you.

- [sobbing]
- Ready, babe?

[indistinct voices playing
on phone]

LILI: [On video]
What did you order?

ROBERTO: [On video]
A coffee mojito. Try it.

Do you like it?

LILI: [On video]
Yeah. It's different.

ROBERTO: [On video]
I love you.

[sobbing]

What?

Are you recording?

Yes. I'm sending this to Lalo.

No, babe, I told you I'll like
to meet him in person.

ROBERTO: [On video]
C'mon babe, just a little.

Ok then.
I can't say no to you, huh?

No.

[sobbing]

This was the last time
that I saw my brother.

Roberto.

Now, do you remember him?

[Lili sobbing]

[breathing heavily]

Who is the woman in the video,
Lili?

LILI:
It's me.

Who?

- It's me.
- I didn't hear you.

- It's me.
- What did you say?

It's me, Eduardo.

What happened?

What always happens.

We went to dinner, drank and...

And I invited him over because
I was alone that night.

And what happened?

You killed him, didn't you?

You killed him!

I swear I didn't.

That was the last time
I saw him.

We went home and made love.

"Made love" You fucked,
that's different.

I don't know.
I didn't feel that way.

That's why I said
there's some people

who fuck and never call.

Because Roberto
never called back.

I thought he used me.

What happened to him?

That's what you need to explain.

How I see it,
there's two options.

The first,
I kill you like a dog

and leave you
where no one will find you.

And the second one,
you tell me what happened.

And then I kill you.

Which do you prefer?

One...

...or two.

I can only imagine
what you've suffered.

One...

To have your brother killed,
must be horrible.

...or two.

I'm going to open the door,

and then you'll tell me
everything.

Eduardo, you're very confused.

Those people made you think
that to get all your money.

It's all lies I haven't done
anything to you.

Eduardo,
I haven't done anything.

[doorbell buzzes]

[takes a deep breath]

[doorbell buzzing]

[exhales]

Coming!

- [doorbell buzzing]
- Coming!

[keys clinking]

[indistinct chattering outside]

Hey, Lalo!

What's up, Poncho?

Hey, sorry to bother you.

Sorry, I was in the bathroom.

Don't worry.

So, what's up?

Just tell him, dude.

Shut up!

Tell me, what can I do for you?

It's just
I'm a bit embarrassed.

Just say it.

Well.

My parents are on a trip.

And these blockheads
are sleeping over.

Hello.

And we wanted to see if...

You want alcohol.

Yeah! But we have money.

- Money.
- Just a sec.

Money. Lot of money.

Come in, let's see
what I can do for you.

Cool, cool. Thanks.

Shut the door.

Thanks, sir.

Sir?

I'm barely 32 years old.

Is 30 the new old?

No, of course not.
Don't mind these idiots.

DIEGO:
I just wanted to be polite.

EDUARDO:
So, what do you want?

What do you have?

EDUARDO:
You have no freaking idea, huh?

Let me see
what I can help you with.

[phone ringing]

[laughing]

PONCHO:
What you're doing?

Dude, you have to see this.

PONCHO:
It's an important meeting.
Stay focus.

RAUÚL:
Take it easy, dude.

Focus, man.
Do you want some booze or not?

Is there another party
on this house or what?

PONCHO:
Sorry, sorry.

All right, we're all here.

Ok then, I guess your obvious
choice is tequila, right?

Tequila.

Mm-hmm.

Is it good?

Of course, it is.

What question is that?

But, if you want to get drunk

and don't want to kill me
tomorrow.

I recommend vodka.

Dude, isn't that
a girl's drink?

EDUARDO:
Dude, what?

Vodka is distilled
from potatoes.

From potatoes.

EDUARDO:
And the hangover or headache.

Hangover.

EDUARDO:
Is way more lighter
than tequila.

Lighter.

EDUARDO:
This is an elegant drink, guys.

Very elegant, dude.

EDUARDO:
If you offer
this to one of your girlfriends,

you've already won.

This here.

This here, is
what you need to get women.

That's for you, Poncho.

We'll take it. We'll take it.

You know what?
You only live once so,

Tequila is on me.

- PONCHO: Really?
- EDUARDO: Sure.

Thank you so much, Lalo, really.

If you wanna come by
for a drink

- you're more than welcome.
- No, thank you.

What was that?

I think that was just a neighbor
who started the party early.

Yeah, sure.

Thank you, really.

LILI:
Help me!

I'll walk you out.
C'mon, I'll open the door.

[phone ringing]

LILI:
I'm up here!

I'm up here!

DIEGO:
Dude, seriously, what was that?

RAUÚL:
I dunno. It came from upstairs.

LILI:
Please!

Help!

You know what.

I left my Netflix open,
and the volume's loud,

I'll turn it down.

Don't worry.

I won't bother you.

[Lili screaming in distance]

After you, Ponchito.

Ok, thanks Lalo.

Sure.

Poncho!

Come here.

Listen.

We're neighbors.
This is on me, it's a favor.

Here.

Here.

I didn't do anything
and you didn't do anything.

Nobody saw anything.

About what?

The booze.

I didn't sell you anything,
and you didn't buy.

We're all innocent.

So no one saw or heard anything,
ok?

Got it?

Thank you.

Ok then, take care.

See you, guys.

[♪♪♪]

[Lili screaming in distance]

[♪♪♪]

LILI:
I'm sorry Eduardo. I'm just...

Sorry. I'm just so afraid.

I won't do it again.
I'm really sorry.

Please.

Forgive me.

What are you doing?

Don't, please.

Eduardo, please.

Give me one more chance.

I swear I won't do it again,
I'm just scared.

Please. Please, please.
Don't do it.

[screams]

Don't ever do that again.

[sobbing and panting]

Now, where were we?

Oh Yeah.

You were about to tell me
how my brother died.

Eduardo...

I told you I have nothing to do
with that.

I met your brother,
but I never saw him again.

He came to my place.
We had sex.

He got dressed and left.
Then he never called.

I swear it, Eduardo.

Do you know
what primal fear is?

- No.
- It's very simple.

Primal fears exist
since the Stone Age.

Fear to the dark.

Fear to death.

- No.
- You know?

Please.

They're part of our DNA.

And as much
as we wanted to hide them,

they always show up.

What are you going to do,
Eduardo?

From your face...

I can tell that these objects
make you scared, right?

It's a primal fear
of getting hurt.

A basic response.
Very good.

In this hand,
I have something

that will make you even more
afraid than these other three.

Fire is...

The biggest fear.

Where is my bro-- Fuck!

[grunting]

Dumbass.

[laughing]

You're pathetic.

[laughing]

[grunts]

Who's laughing now, bitch!

- [phone buzzing]
- Fuck, this can't be.

I can't believe it.

[panting]

EDUARDO:
What's up, Luis?

What happened dude?
I'm busy.

No.

What? Wait, calm down.
Where are you?

I don't know.

Hey, calm down.

Wait. I'm coming.
I'm coming down.

Wait.
Wait there.

Don't do anything stupid.
I'm coming down.

[breathing heavily]

LUIS:
This dude is an asshole!

What's up bro?
How are you?

- I'm doing good, man.
- Good? Cool.

So, what's up?

You spilled something
on your shirt there.

I'm kidding, bro.

What? Why are you so locked up?
Are you hiding from the zombies?

What? No, bro.

You know how there's so many
crazy people out there.

But you're one of them, dude.

Man, how are you?

EDUARDO:
I'm ok.

C'mon, come in.

A little toad.

What's up?

What's up dude?
I'm happy to see you, bro.

Don't even call me anymore, man.

Oh what?
You having a party?

- What?
- You having a party?

- No dude.
- Oh c'mon. What are these?

The neighbor's kid came by
and wanted some booze,

so I helped.

Nice.
Always so considerate, right?

Just like your brother, man.

How long it's been?
Six months?

Seven months and two weeks.

Seven months and two...

You know if I knew
who the motherfucker was.

So...

Hey, what about you?

Why did you show up?

What?
You're not happy to see me?

Of course, but...
Don't be silly, man.

It's just I was on my way out.

Mariana cheated on me.

What?

Mariana cheated on me.

Mariana, your fiancée?

The good news is I found out
before the wedding.

Saved my money.

May I?

Of course, I may.

To be honest, bro.

We're really stupid.

- Yeah.
- For real, man.

We like a girl, we like her ass.

Then we go, all stupid.

We go after them
and then forget the consequences

no matter what.

Cheers.

And what happened?

[laughing]

Nah dude,
I don't want to talk about it.

What about you?

- Have a girlfriend?
- No.

Boyfriend?
You're gay aren't you.

Here's a kiss for you.

Don't act dumb, someone told me
they saw you with a girl.

- What?
- They saw you with a girl.

EDUARDO:
What did they tell you?

Earlier, at the park.

No, no.
Who told you that?

- Isn't it true?
- Who told you that?

Virginia and Carlos.

No, no. They lied to you.

Aw cm'on, why would they lie?

I don't now!
They're mistaken.

Whoa dude.

You get really manly
when you get mad.

Another kiss.

Aw c'mon Lalo.

What's this then?

C'mon dude, see how you lie.

What's this?

It's a woman's purse.
Who's is it?

Who's is it?

Who?

A slut's.

A slut's?

Yes, a slut's.
A fucking slut.

Like a hooker?

With a fee? Are you paying
to get fucked, bro?

Nice!

Titties! Titties! Titties!

Where's is she?
Where is the lady?

- She left.
- C'mon.

Wait a second.

It still smells like pussy here.
It's like a house full of cats.

Don't talk shit.

I have to go give her the purse.
That's why I have to leave.

Seriously.

Dude...

You can lie to me once,
but not twice.

I'm serious.

Luis.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the bathroom, dude.
Chill out.

You're snooping.

I'm telling you she's gone.
Listen, don't be stubborn.

Ok, ok. Let's do something.

I'll give her money
and we'll have a threesome.

Don't be stupid.

Don't worry.
You and me won't interact.

Ok then, I'll pay her,
and I get 15 minutes.

Dude, you're drunk.

Yep, a little.

I'll call an UBER, you leave.
You calm down, and sober up.

What's with you dude?
Are you her pimp or something?

Aren't you going
to introduce us, Eduardo?

I think he should.

Nice to meet you. Luis.

No, don't give me your hand.
Eduardo's friends are my friend.

That's what I'm saying,
we're all friends here.

But he's not getting it.

Have you seen my purse
somewhere?

Is it a pink one?
It's on the table.

Right.

By the way...

Thanks a lot.

EDUARDO:
Are you looking for your phone?

It's in the kitchen.

Dude! She has a great ass.

I'm going to ask her
about the threesome.

Wait, it's not what you think.

- A blowjob then.
- Don't be stupid.

- Well you had your turn.
- You gotta go.

LILI:
My phone isn't there, Eduardo.

I don't know
where you left it then.

LILI:
Oh are you partying?

Yes. Listen. Don't you want
to stay and drink with us.

No thank you,
I'm not a whisky girl.

Don't worry. We have a lot
of drinks. Rum, Gin...

Rum, Rum.

Rum is fine.
Can you mix it please?

Of course, sweetheart,
anything for you.

Thank you. I'll go to the store
to get some ice.

I'll be right back.

You forgot that we went for ice
this morning.

LUIS:
Hey guys,
there's some ice here.

Let's keep partying.

LUIS:
Hey look!

Here's your rum.

Great.

Thanks.

LUIS:
Hey, this is a bit boring,
isn't it?

A toast.

To my new best friend.

Oh no.

What did this bastard
do to you?

Nothing.

I just fell.

[♪♪♪]

Come on, come on.

[laughing]

Lalo told me
you are a prostitute.

How much?

Leave me alone.

How much for anal?

I said leave me alone, asshole.
Let me go.

- Let me go!
- EDUARDO: Luis!

Luis, what you're doing?

Luis!

What you're doing?

Dude, don't worry.
She's a hooker, it's all good.

Help me.

Luis, let her go. Stop!

It's time for you to go.

Let me go!

Look at you.

Aren't you ashamed?

Whatever dude.

What shame.

[Lili sobbing]

Stupid whore.

Fuck off dude.

When you get gonorrhea
don't come crying to me.

Crybaby.

[door opens and closes]

I know this will sound
ridiculous but...

I owe you an apology.

I don't think...

You're the person
I'm looking for.

When my brother disappeared.

My family and I
went through hell.

And...

When I got your info,

I think...

I just let myself go
and wasn't thinking clearly.

I just needed to find
the culprit.

I'm sorry.

I don't know.

I don't know
how to make up for this.

I'll pay for the hospital,
I'll pay for everything.

When I saw this idiot treat
you like that.

I saw what I had become.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

I can take you home or...

I don't know
what else to tell you.

I don't know.

LILI:
You're right.

You are my worst date.

I don't like a good rum
to go to waste.

To bad experiences.

I'm sorry.

Bottoms up.

It's a shame, Eduardo.

I really liked you.

And I really wanted this
to go well.

But tonight...

You're life ends.

And this, Eduardo.

Is no threat.

It's a promise.

I can't remember much
of your brother.

There's been so many
I lost track.

What if I let the gas leak
and say it was suicide?

It was depression after
your brother's disappearance,

you couldn't bare it all.

[panting]

Why?

LILI:
Why?

Why what?

Why your brother?
Or why do I kill?

On the night of my 5th birthday.

My father...

Came into my room.

My mother was asleep.

He said he had a gift for me.

He sat down next to me.

He put my hand on...

On his zipper.

I was scared.

But he said...

It was ok.

He said that was love.

[sobbing]

Then...

He unzipped and...

[sobbing]

EDUARDO:
Son of a bitch.

[sighs]

Or maybe not.

[chuckles]

Maybe...

My parents were poor farmers.

Who sold me to a drug lord.

He taught me how to kill.

Oh, and when I was a teenager.

Some soldiers captured him
and raped me in front of him.

Just before they killed him
as vengeance.

Don't leave yet, Eduardo.

I have so many stories.

[grunting]

LILI:
Maybe...

They bullied me in school.

Or that I have...

Double...

Or even triple personality!

Do you like them?

Be careful.

You wouldn't want
to hurt yourself.

Let's see.

Predictable.

Too slow.

Hey, you really do like cooking.

You have all your spices.

Wow, Eduardo.

What's this for?

I have to thank you
for breaking my finger.

And hitting me.

Now I can say I shot you
in self-defense.

So...

Let's tie up the loose ends
of my story.

[mimicking crying]

No Eduardo! Please!

Leave me! I don't want to!

[mimicking crying]

It's time to catch the mice.

[♪♪♪]

LILI:
You're confused, aren't you?

You don't know what to do.

You're trying to not fall
asleep.

Looking for a place to hide.

Don't feel embarrassed.
It's normal.

It doesn't matter who you are.
Or how much money you have.

If you have a gun pointing
at you, you panic.

Primal fears, right?

That's what you told me.

Let's see what you got here.

Jeez, Eduardo.

You really wanted to have
a good time.

All these toys.

Let's take a look
at your papers.

Wow!

Whoever sees this will think
you were obsessing over me.

Thank you, for all the help.

He never called again.

Everything ok?

[takes a deep breath]

All right.

You aren't up here.

Which means you passed out
somewhere down there.

[♪♪♪]

[growling and grunting]

Asshole!

[grunting]

[door bangs]

POLICE OFFICER #1:
Police! Drop the weapon!

Drop the weapon, punk!

Calm down, Lalo.

Drop the weapon!

[panting]

Come on, Poncho.
You call them?

[indistinct yelling
in background]

Bitch...

[gunshot]

[yells]

[grunting]

POLICE OFFICER #1:
Is there anyone else
in the house, Miss?

Miss, is there anyone else
in the house?

- LILI: No.
- Check the area.

PONCHO:
Lalo?

POLICE OFFICER #1:
Are you ok, Miss?

Are you hurt?

LILI:
He broke my hand.

RAUÚL:
Dude, they shot him!

Wait a moment, dude!

I'm sorry.

I'm serious, dude.
Let's go.

[indistinct]

POLICE OFFICER #2:
All clear, Sir!

He's bleeding, dude!

Calm down, Miss.
Help is on the way.

Kids you can't be here.
Let's go!

Miss, can you stand up?

You're doing fine.
Take your time.

Take a breath. Slowly.
Can you tell me what happened?

We were on a date.

Calm down.
Look me in the eyes.

And he went mad.

Is he your boyfriend?

Where did you meet him?

Online.

Where's the ambulance?

EMT is on the way.
You'll be fine.

It's very dangerous
to meet people online, Miss.

The world is full
of crazy people.

POLICE OFFICER #1:
You'll have to come with me,
ok?

Yes.

POLICE OFFICER #1:
Is there anyone we can contact?

No.

POLICE OFFICER #1:
Don't worry.
You are safe now.

Yeah.

I know.
