1 I remember when we visited the house for the first time.

That afternoon I learned a lot

about what would shortly after become my own business.

One of the things I learned was that setbacks

could become opportunities.

Due to the circumstances of the previous owner's death,

I was able to bargain a good price.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

{n8}I think that phrase works really well in Las Cascadas.

General Cavazos had lost his wife ten years ago.

And since then,

he stopped attending all neighborhood meetings and festivities.

He would regularly check his house for any imperfections and fix them.

The first time we visited the house, it was in perfect condition.

Look at that!

Come on! Come on, look at that!

That very day, I managed to negotiate and buy it.

Those were good times.

- Congratulations. Enjoy your new house. - Congratulations.

Times when we dreamed together

and when I had Ronie's silliness all for myself.

Ronie the Promising.

That was his nickname for many years.

People always wanted more and more from Ronie.

Everyone started to make more money and he wasn't growing.

He was replaced by a 20-year-old boy.

That's when I knew I'd have to take care of the family for some time.

And I didn't know for how long.

The council has accepted the Maldonados. We'll have new neighbors.

- Wow, great! I knew it. - Mmm-hmm.

I knew you were going to sell that house! Congratulations.

Thank you.

If I were a man and spent all day working, I would come home for dinner,

and I wouldn't have to take care of two kids.

Wow!

That's awesome! Such a great gift.

I have to admit,

I was curious about what it'd feel like to be alone.

But I couldn't picture myself coming home to an empty bed like Carmen Insúa.

I was terrified of having the same fate as hers,

divorced and not widowed.

Pretending that everything's okay.

Did you sell weed to Matías Scaglia?

- No. - I just came from your school.

- Don't lie. - No, I swear. I didn't sell anything...

His mother told me you're on the blacklist at school.

General Cavazos left that house in perfect shape.

But in a certain way, he also left us a life lesson.

Not all endings are happy.

THURSDAY'S WIDOWS EPISODE SIX: THE GUEVARA FAMILY

But that means that even if we sell the house, we'd still be in debt.

Yeah.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26

That's why I'm trying to find a job I enjoy! We're doing fine!

Thanks, I'll... I'll call you back in a bit.

- Bye. - No, listen. Mom, listen.

No, no, no, don't... No!

Who told you?

Ah, we're doing fine! We don't need anything, okay?

Mavi's fine, and I am perfectly fine. Say it again?

No! Mom, what do you mean?

We are not okay!

No, tell her! Tell your mo...

- Tell her we are not okay! - No, nothing, nothing.

Mavi's just having a pretty, uh, complicated day, I think...

- I'll tell her! Give me the phone. - I'm not gonna give you the phone.

- No, Mom... - Give me the phone.

Hi, Silvia! How are you?

Yeah, you know...

We are not okay, Silvia.

- No, no, no... - Give me. Give me. There.

Maybe you two can grab a coffee or something later, okay? Bye.

- That was pretty rude. - Pretty rude?

- So rude! - Don't tell me I'm rude.

- How could you take the phone from me? - Do you think we're doing okay?

Do you think we're doing okay?

I can't sleep thinking about how we'll manage to pay for Juandi's tuition,

plus housing expenses, verification...

He's losing his scholarship

because of the weed you're growing in your fucking greenhouse.

- Maverick, relax. Come on. - Don't tell me to relax!

And don't call me "Maverick," God damn it!

I know guys who break their backs at work.

Do something! Do something for your fucking family!

When I was younger, I used to imagine myself

living in a cottage surrounded by my five sons and five daughters.

I always imagined that my worries would be trivial

like Tere's, taking care of her body at the spa,

or Mariana's, who can't stop working out.

Or spending with a credit card and not worrying about the bill.

What are we toasting to?

Let's toast to us.

Mariana, listen...

Go talk to your butterflies.

Mariana, please don't go.

- Hey, Alfredo, what's up? - Tano.

December 26th, Alfredo. Today's the day.

Vita è tempo, brother.

Together for eternity.

Welcome, guys.

Being here is like entering an alternate reality

where we can be sure that no unwanted soul

will disturb the harmony.

Hi.

Hi!

How are you?

I'm fine.

Great. So, how may I help you?

How was your Christmas, then?

Good!

Well, I was working, you know.

How was it for you?

Good.

I... I saved you some, uh...

some Christmas food.

Not... Not the leftovers, um, I...

I actually... I actually saved you some.

I don't have it with me, though.

I think it's... it's in the office.

You can come by later if you want.

- Oh, yeah. Sure. - For the food, I mean.

Yeah. Yeah, sure, I'll...

You know, I'll come by whenever you like.

Oh...

Anyway, um...

An hour from now okay?

I think 30, okay?

- I'll see you soon. - Yeah, later.

LALA - Confirmed TERE S. - Let's be on time

Ladies, I'm running late, I have work at the office.

Once you're in Las Cascadas,

it's like you're struck with a magic spell,

a magical forgetfulness of the past.

She won't answer!

Leave a voicemail. Let's go to her office.

- No! - Mavi!

Are you in there?

- Don't yell at it! - Mavi!

GUEVARA REAL ESTATE

Hey!

What I want you guys

to grasp here is this is an opportunity for us all.

Right.

Because we need to provide our families

with what they deserve, brothers.

Ronie...

you fucking stoner, listen to what I'm about to say.

You haven't been providing for her.

For Mavi.

And you love her! You're a great man, dude, but I...

I'm your brother and I have to tell you.

You don't provide for her.

And this is your chance

to make it up to her, man.

To give your family security, protection, bro.

- And you, asshole... - All right, Tano, what? Say it.

Make my day now then.

You punched your wife and now you're crying about it.

I mean, what you did, man?

There's only one path for you to be forgiven, bro.

The path of honor.

But it has to look like an accident so we're all able to

get the insurance money, you know?

Obviously.

Alfredo Insúa set the whole thing up already.

We just gotta do it.

This is all bullshit! I mean, no, dude!

No! No, man, no!

- It has to be today. - Hey! Hey, easy!

- Ah, come on, man! Tano, stop! - Don't point it at me.

It has to be today, bro.

Think about this opportunity.

I mean, this thing is certain.

But it has to be today.

Let's save our families

together, dude.

So they can get the insurance money.

Come on! What are you doing? Tano!

Put that down.

- What are you doing, bro? - Stop it, man!

Put that down, asshole! Now!

- What are you doing? - Okay! We'll do it!

Take that thing out of your mouth!

Do I look ridiculous?

No.

You don't look ridiculous.

You look pretty.

Do you remember when

you wanted to be friends with the Peñalozas?

You wanted to get dolled up for Aranza's birthday, right?

So cringe.

You're my favorite person to hang out with.

No way.

It was obvious, dude.

Why did you tell them I sold you pot?

What's your problem, dude?

Never mind him, Juandi. He's feeling rejected.

What's your problem, dumbass?

Jackass!

What, dude?

- Huh? - Juandi, are you okay?

What, dude?

Is that enough for ya?

Or do you wanna kiss me, too?

Fuck off, bastard.

You as well.

You poor piece of shit.

Where's Mavi?

Let's go, Nacho!

- What are you up to? - What do you mean?

- Where's Mavi? - She wasn't there.

- What do you mean? - She wasn't!

Where is Mavi?

- Ronie. Hey, Martín, shh. Shh. - This is not cowardice.

What have you done with your life, bro?

With your time?

You want me to say it?

You've been waiting for something, dude...

...that's not gonna happen, man.

We all know it. And you know it, dude.

You can't be high all day

and letting Mavi take care of you.

This is an opportunity!

- They're ready. - This is not cowardice, dude.

Turn that fucking machine off! Damn it!

He's nervous, but it has been decided.

- You damn jerk! - Fuck, man!

Ahh!

- I hate you, jerk! - Turn it up! Look at me...

- No! No! - Wait a minute, dude!

Wagner.

I'm not that type of guy, Ms. Guevara.

Not with you.

It's for the door.

You fixed it.

Still, you don't have to.

Thanks.

That's, uh, the Christmas...

food.

Thanks.

Uh, for the food, hmm?

Well...

Take care, Ms. Guevara.

Good night, Wagner.

Hell yeah, dude!

Come on, Gustavo!

Hell yeah!

- Beluga! - Help me out here, dude!

Ow, my eye still hurts.

Do you think Mati is in his room?

I don't know, but it sounds like they have people over.

Get the phone ready to film him.

Ramona, you're showing everything.

- Come on, they're just panties, dude. - Beluga!

Dude, that one's yours.

Beluga!

I don't see Matías, but I do see his super drunk dad.

This whole mess?

- We're gonna fix it together. - Together.

Together, brother.

Shh! We are a team, huh?

We are a team.

Where are you going, man? Where are you going?

Where are you going, man? Stop!

You're already in! Stop.

What happened?

- What did you do? - I'm fucking stupid!

- Take me to Tano's house! - Shut up!

Take me to Tano's house! Take me to Tano's house!

- What are you doing? No, no, no! - I don't know!

Not an ambulance! No!

Take me to Tano's house.

- Son of a bitch! - Shh!

- Listen to me, you son of a bitch! Listen! - Leave me alone.

I'm gonna pick you up.

If you don't help me, Ronie, if you don't do your part,

I'm gonna walk out that door, and go far from here,

and you won't ever, ever see me again!

Understood?

This is your only opportunity! Just one, damn it!

Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Come on! Come on!

The last time an ambulance

came into Las Cascadas in the middle of the night, it was a scandal.

Scandals bring problems, and no one wants problems here.

The ambulance comes, and suddenly everyone starts asking questions.

And that night, I didn't have answers.

I didn't know that those two vague figures in the darkness that night

were Ramona and my son, Juandi.

Ronie! Give me your hand! Give me your hand!

Hey! Are you okay?

Yeah! Open the gate, Wagner!

- Please! - Open the gate, hurry!

Everyone remembers the first time they see someone dying.

It makes me really sad to know that Ramona and Juandi saw them that day.

I couldn't sleep that night.

Stop! You're already in! Stop.

Everything that happened weighed on me.

He's drowning him.

He killed them.

What do we do?

That day I realized it was the moment of truth.

The kind of uncomfortable truth that follows everyone once it's freed.

I couldn't understand why I told him.

But I think that a part of me

needed him to know.

Anyway. As I was saying...

the costs, right.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

I'll... I'll reimburse you as... as soon as I'm better, okay?

All right, deal.

Okay.

I talked to my parents.

They're gonna help us out for a few months. I know that...

...all this time I've been a real schmuck at home.

I haven't helped you at all, but I'll help you now.

I'm sorry.

Okay?

What's the matter?

I did a very bad thing, Ronie.

A very bad thing.

What did you do, baby?

I had sex with Wagner.

With who?

The chief of security.

I don't even...

Sure thing. Great.

Mario, open it. Please.

Are you okay?

Are you Wagner?

- Yes, sir, I'm Wagner... - Chief of security?

Yes, sir. That's me.

How may I help you?

I would have liked to be there to see that meeting.

To see Ronie look into the eyes

of the man I needed.

You know what?

Forget it.

Forget it.

Oh, for fuck's sake, not here. Not now!

It's probably the battery, right?

- No, no, no! No need! No, there's no need! - Give me a hand. Over here.

- Did a cable get disconnected? - Yeah, I think so.

- All right. We'll have to push. - Leave it!

That's what I'm here for, Mr. Guevara. Don't worry, I'll help you.

- The leg! - This side first. I got you.

- Watch for the head. - Go ahead, go ahead.

Almost there. Almost there.

Did you get your mom's phone?

Yeah.

Send it.

They have to know what happened.

- Hey, is something wrong? - No.

Send it.

It's time.

Send it to the widow's group chat.

The first thing I felt was shame.

I don't think I've ever felt that way before.

So exposed, so vulnerable, so...

different.

What is this?

Mavi, what is this?

What is this?

What is this? Mavi, you sent it!

It came from your phone!

Lala! Lala, calm down! Stop it!

- Ernesto! - He killed him!

- What happened? - I don't know!

Calm down, Lala. Calm down. Let's talk about this.

I feared that, from that day on,

our friends would never look at us the same way

because we knew the secret.

Ramona and Juandi had changed the rules forever.

What are you doing? Why are you being weird?

- Why are you like that? Keep going. - I wasn't there!

- Come on. Keep going. - Mavi!

It's all my fault!

Why don't we go somewhere private and talk?

Yeah, absolutely.

It has to remain absolutely clear that what happened

was an accident, all right?

Sometimes in life,

for some mysterious weird reason,

accidents can bring good fortune with them.

This was a terrible tragedy, very painful to us all, absolutely.

But, ironically, for your families...

this is gonna be like...

like one of those comets

that passes by once every hundred years or so.

And when it does, it leaves a trail of light.

Well, in this case, a trail of prosperity.

Am I being clear?

Our beloved Tano

made an effort to secure the future of his family.

He convinced Martín to do the same thing.

Well...

he tried to convince other friends too.

And that's not all.

He made sure that there would be a good amount of money

to be invested here in Altos de las Cascadas.

- Our community. - No.

I'm sorry, Alfredo, but that madness we just saw?

That was absurd.

Do you mean the video?

That your son recorded?

Your son and your daughter.

Right?

Well, the police were here,

and the police have determined that it was an accident.

If for some reason they think it wasn't an accident,

you won't get to collect the insurance money.

And many of you here are going to have to leave your bubbles,

survive on the other side of the fence.

Let's make a pact. A pact between friends.

A sacred pact between families, okay?

No one will ever, ever speak of this video again.

Not even mention it.

You understand?

Never again.

And everyone will delete it from their phones.

Okay?

Why would we even need to watch that again?

We can always remember, we can always...

honor our dear friends, our families...

in our own hearts forever.

It's gonna be okay.

Alfredo!

What about her?

Don't worry about that.

I'll take care of it.

Let's go, Ernesto.

Baby, why don't you join the girls?

Okay, sure.

Hi, good evening.

In the end, we all went back to that same place.

Pretending that everything was gonna stay the same.

But we weren't the same anymore.

Everyone was aware of how miserable we all were.

It's hard to believe that something so terrible

happened just a few days ago,

yet this house is so filled with light now.

So filled with life.

Good night, Bere.

Good night.

How are you?

I'm fine. Thanks.

Bye.

Happy New Year, ma'am.

Happy New Year, Bere.

- Everything seemed upside down. - Wow!

The unmentionable and its consequences.

How are you?

- Welcome, Mavi, hi! - Hi.

Mavi, my dear.

Mariana.

I never imagined I'd say this...

but the disbelief in your face about what happened seemed honest.

Some days we beg for that kind of affection.

- Happy New Year, Ernesto. - Thanks.

Lala...

Good evening.

When I saw you sitting at the table with all your children,

I couldn't stop thinking about Martín.

I didn't imagine you could survive without each other one day.

Fine, really.

- Mmm-hmm? - Yeah.

The food looks absolutely incredible.

- I can't wait to eat. - Uh, Grandma?

- Mom? Can we eat already? - What is it, baby?

Are you sure? No.

I was surprised by how fast you were able to.

I don't think that's a good idea. It's not your regular game.

Good evening, kids.

- Good evening, Pedro. - Hi.

- How are you? - Good.

As I got closer to you, Teresa,

I wondered if I too would have liked being a widow all the days of the week.

Maybe I would have.

But there was Juandi.

And I wanted for him to have a father for many more years.

These children of ours...

to whom we owe so many apologies for being so dumb.

- How are you doing? - Yeah, I'm great. Thanks.

After the accident, we all felt relieved,

but above all, grateful.

Grateful to say goodbye to the year that took friends from us.

Neighbors, fathers, and husbands whom we loved and admired.

And we realized that anything that doesn't kill you

only makes you stronger.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I'm glad you're alive.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Happy New Year, Wagner.

Happy New Year, Ms. Scaglia.

Tomorrow, the sun will come up again.

You will remain here like nothing ever happened,

doing what you do best, pretend.

We will leave slowly, carefully.

Far away, without bothering anyone.

Somewhere where we can tell what we can't say...

and where we can say what we want to tell.

We came with nothing and we will leave with nothing.
