Original subtitles

[Elena] I bet we'll build a campfire tonight.

[person] That sounds nice. I can already picture us sitting around the fire.

Well, and we have the guitar, which was Selva's idea.

-Oh, yeah. -Selva.

-Yes, that's fantastic. Fantastic. -Selva, the guitar was your idea.

-Good idea. -Thanks.

[Octavio] There's the boat.

-[Edgardo] That's good. -[Carmen] Let's eat.

[Octavio] We'll see if it's good enough to eat, poor thing.

-[Elena] We're here. -[Edgardo] We're here. Yeah.

-[Octavio] More training every day. -[Elena] More and more-- more training.

This is our spiritual side that you're helping us strengthen.

-No. Stay there, please. -[Edgardo] Be careful.

-[Elena] Let's make a chain. -[Octavio] Let's make a chain. Yeah.

-The guitar first. Under the bag. -[person] Quickly.

[Elena vocalizing]

[Octavio] Come, we'll go faster that way.

-[Elena] Hey! -[Octavio] Let's go. No, don't worry.

The guitar. Awesome. The guitar. The bag.

-[Edgardo] Whoa. He brought music. -The red one. Let's-- The red bag.

-That's the one. It'll go next. -[Elena] Wow! I'm so, so excited.

-I couldn't wait to come here. -[Octavio] Guitar, bag.

-Now grab the-- Selva? The barrels. -[Elena] I am starving.

-I am starving. -Selva, not that box. Look--

You know what--

-Could you listen to me? Selva. -[Selva sighs]

What do you want?

-Aw, shit. Goddamn it. -[Edgardo] No. [groans]

[Octavio] I was about to tell you that two people need to carry that box.

How was I supposed to know? I'm not a psychic.

[Octavio] That's why I asked for the barrels first.

Those eggs are going to dry on the wood now. It doesn't matter.

It seemed like you were ordering me to grab the box.

-It wasn't an order. -Fine.

We're making a chain because we're trying to work as-- Never mind.

ALTERNATIVE THERAPY

-[Elena] Poached eggs. -[Octavio] No, leave the eggs.

[Carmen] Come in, come in.

-[Octavio] All right. -[Carmen] Should we open this one?

Because it's…

[person] What's the plan? Should we sleep with our usual roommates?

[Carmen] No, not your usual roommates, since Edgardo and Selva are here now.

[Edgardo] Oh, don't worry about me, okay? I can sleep anywhere.

I'll stay here, Octavio.

[Octavio] In the living room?

But I don't mind. I don't sleep much.

After what happened to Norma, I barely sleep.

[Elena] Selva will come with me, and you two will go together.

-[Carmen] Yes, yes. -With you?

Octavio, excuse me. No one told me we'd be sharing rooms.

Mmm, I do not remember you asking. Get settled in.

Oh, Selva.

Don't wait too long before cleaning up that mess on the dock, okay?

If the egg dries out on the wood, it'll be really hard to clean later, you know?

Go ahead and get settled in. Leave your things.

But I do want you to take care of the dock.

EPISODE 5 "TIGRE EXPEDITION"

[doorbell rings]

Welcome. [chuckles]

Oh, how lovely.

Come in.

Mmm.

You're sure she won't be back soon, right?

No, she already told me. She won't be back until tomorrow.

I might have to see patients this evening.

-You don't see patients, Miguel. -It was a figure of speech.

-Do you want a smoothie? -Oh! You're so sweet, babe.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Oh, that belongs to a patient.

No, just leave it there. Leave it where it was.

-A female patient. -Yeah?

No, just put it down. Come on. Could you behave?

[both chuckle]

-[inhales deeply] Babe. -Mmm.

Mmm.

-[doorbell beeps] -What was that?

The doorbell.

Go check it out.

This fucking thing.

-Oh, come on. What are they doing here? -Who? Who?

The throuple couple.

-Uh-- -What do I do? Should I hide?

Why don't you get in there? Down in there.

Just for a little while.

-I'm sorry, babe. Okay? -Mmm.

[door closes]

[Selva] Hey, how about I fix us some drinks

and we sit out in the sun for a while and relax?

That sounds like a good idea,

but Octavio said we need to get set up first.

Okay, done.

[Edgardo] Selva, could you help me?

[Selva] Do you know the Dardenne brothers?

-[Edgardo] Yeah, those guys are amazing. -Mmm.

-Geniuses. Do you like them? -I've never seen any of their work,

but a friend of mine who's a big film buff recommended them.

[Octavio] What do you think?

I was thinking about cleaning the table and chairs, you know?

-They're covered in bird shit. -Okay.

So we can play cards this afternoon.

-[Carmen] Sure. I'll help you. -[Edgardo] All right.

[Octavio] No, how about you help Hans with the firewood?

[Carmen] No, no. Let Selva go. That way she can walk around a bit.

[Octavio] All right.

[sniffs, groans]

She always does stuff like this anyway.

I bet this is all part of her plan.

Ah, could be. But what can I say?

I'd be lying if I said I knew.

[door opens, creaks]

Sorry. I didn't want to interrupt.

No. I'm sorry, okay? I apologize.

This shouldn't have happened, but I didn't-- Mmm.

You shouldn't have been here at the same time.

[Grisel] Call me later.

[door opens, closes]

Don't worry, okay?

-We-- we won't tell anyone, okay? -[sighs]

Well, what we can do is-- If you want to stay here and--

and, I don't know, wait for her to get here or call, you can do that.

-Okay? -Okay, we'll do that.

Then, I'll bill you in the meantime.

What? What? I mean, what do you mean you'll "bill us?"

But S-S-Selva isn't here. [stammers]

No, but, uh, patients can't stay here without being billed. Selva's orders.

Well, then we'll go downstairs and wait at a bar, right?

-[Serena] I'll pay you. -But what-- What are you paying for?

For waiting for Selva. I'll pay him.

[Darío] Ah.

[Hans] Diana used to love it here.

-[ax thuds] -I think life is pointless without pets.

You never thought about getting another dog?

-No. I want a cat now. -Ah.

But first I need to let Diana go.

Of course.

This group does everything step by step, doesn't it?

First one thing and then the next. Everyone goes from here to there.

We can't just do things willy-nilly now, can we?

Have you thought about who you want to communicate with?

I don't want to communicate with anyone.

I have a friend that-- that watches Grace's show.

Uh, he says you have a friend that you love a lot.

I don't feel like talking about that, you know?

-[Selva deposits firewood] -We're not done yet.

[Selva] Okay.

[dog whines]

[Carmen] I don't have enough to make really pretty ones so that you feel--

Selva!

It's great that you're here.

Will you go with me over there to find some pampas grass for some bouquets?

-You can make one for yourself too. -No, no.

[Carmen] "No, no," what?

Give me a fucking break, Carmen.

Why are you swearing at me?

You came here with your ex-husband to communicate with your dog,

and you don't like my tone?

-Wow. -I don't see any problem

with them wanting to communicate with their dog.

Because you can't see. You can't see anything!

-[Edgardo] You're yelling, Selva. -[Selva] Yes, I am yelling, Edgardo.

Forgive me if I'm not mourning the way you want everyone else to mourn.

Selva?

-Are you going to punish me? -No.

Go get all your things.

You're no longer welcome here.

Don't you worry. I wasn't planning on staying another second here.

[Miguel] Come in.

-Hi. -Hi.

Serena?

She's outside.

[footsteps approaching]

[Amadeo] Hello.

-You came. -Mmm.

Can we talk?

We're waiting for Selva.

Yeah, but it would be good for us to talk.

-[sniffs] -[Amadeo sighs]

That's not your scarf, is it?

No.

What time does Selva get here?

I assume she'll be here any second. Uh, why don't you take a seat?

[sighs]

Don't pretend for my sake, eh? You can sit together.

Pretend what, sweetheart?

Can we please wait until Selva gets here?

[scoffs]

-[motor stops] -All right.

Thanks.

And don't worry. I won't ask for my money back.

I'm not worried.

I know you won't ask, especially because you have no right.

You and I have very similar professional practices.

Selva, you're leaving, but you know the spirits are going with you.

As long as we all get on the same water taxi,

I don't have a problem with that.

Why are you doing this?

When you get in an uncomfortable situation,

you escape, you flee.

Like right now. You're leaving after fighting with everyone.

When someone dies an unexpected, violent death, a cruel death,

their soul suddenly leaves their body.

As if it were in shock, I'd say.

It's so sudden that sometimes you don't know

if the soul has completely left or not.

Some souls stay close by, circling,

doing everything in their power to get our attention.

This sounds familiar, doesn't it?

For those of us who remain on this plane, those deaths make us feel very sad,

so we think about them constantly, we call out to them.

Though we don't know it, we're getting in the way,

preventing them from going down the normal path they must take

toward the transcendence they deserve.

That's what Edgardo is doing to Norma.

It's the same thing you're doing to Luis.

What do you want, Selva?

[cell phone buzzing]

You got service.

[sighs]

[sighs, clicks tongue] Yes.

[clicks tongue]

Hey, Octavio.

Octavio, when is the next water taxi?

[Darío sighs]

Miguel Ángel, can we pour ourselves some whiskey?

I don't think that'd be a problem.

[sighs]

Thanks.

[Darío] Miguel Ángel, if you have things to do or whatever,

we don't-- We don't mind, okay?

Ah, no. [chuckles]

The thing is, from personal experience,

I know leaving patients alone, here, in the office, isn't a good idea.

Things get out of hand, right? When Selva isn't here.

But, well, I'll--

I was racking my brain

over why the three of us couldn't just be together like before.

But it turns out I was the third wheel.

That's not true, Serena.

By that logic,

Amadeo would be the odd one out when just you and I are together.

Yeah, but we don't fuck.

[Darío scoffs]

And now I understand why.

Either way, if you two want to be together, I won't get in the way.

[clears throat]

[Serena] And next week is my birthday…

[inhales sharply]

…and it looks like it's gonna be a shitty one,

compared to how unforgettable it was last year. [sniffles]

That really pisses me off. [sniffles]

Sere, I won't be with Darío again, mmm?

I came here because…

I want things to be good between the three of us.

Mmm?

Darío, what happened between us the other day, what was that?

[inhales, scoffs]

-A relapse? -[chuckles]

That's it. That's what happened.

-A relapse? -[Amadeo] Mm-hmm.

-Well, you didn't relapse with me. -[Amadeo chuckles] Well.

That didn't happen to you.

But then you go and send me a text that says you miss me. [scoffs]

When did he text you?

Why does that matter? [scoffs]

Just because we aren't together, doesn't-- doesn't mean I don't miss you.

Serena, I apologize.

What happened the other day with-- with Amadeo was-- was stupid.

We met up, started to talk, vibed, and some--

something happened that shouldn't have.

-[chuckling] -That's all. I'm sorry.

You tell her what she wants to hear.

-No, that's not true, Amadeo. -Yeah, you always do the same thing.

-No, that's not true. -[Amadeo scoffs]

Maybe this isn't the most productive way to deal with this.

I think it's best if we keep waiting for Selva.

Sir?

Excuse me.

Do you know what time the next water taxi will be here?

Today?

Yes, yes, definitely.

Definitely when?

Sir!

-[Darío] You don't want one, Miguel Ángel? -[Miguel] No, really.

And, please, make that the last one, okay?

Mmm. Plus, I can already tell you're kind of drunk.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Good, because I don't know how-- how long we've been here.

I think that…

[Serena] I need to keep talking.

I'm in love with you, Ama.

I'm in love with you.

And with us.

With the three of us.

And it's really hard to listen to you talk like that

or to see you so disenchanted, so…

-Um. -[sighs]

I never meant to hurt you.

Either of you.

I don't know. Maybe… [inhales sharply]

…I'm more used to things that sometimes last a longer or shorter time.

I learned the hard way.

But that doesn't mean I've forgotten about us.

[smacks lips]

So how about the three of us enjoy this moment here?

Let's enjoy it.

Yeah.

[Miguel] Well, we can stop for now.

I'll let-- let Selva know you came, that you were here.

I need to change the course of all this.

[Miguel] No. What course?

Uh-- We need to start wrapping things up now.

[Darío] Uh, okay, yeah, you're right.

Let's go.

Okay, let's go.

-But we-- But we'll keep talking, right? -Yes, yes.

-Yes. Good. -Yeah?

Let's go and figure out where we want to go, okay?

And we'll keep talking somewhere else.

-Right? -Yes.

[boat creaking]

[person] Selvita.

I was just telling him I had a feeling we were going to run into you here.

[chuckles]

It's a spiral, Selva.

Imagine a door that, when you try to open it, poof, the handle disappears.

[chuckles]

That's a good example, yeah. [chuckles]

Come on, ma'am. Don't listen to them.

All they do is spout nonsense.

The one you need to talk to is Luis.

[speaking Latin] Mors janua vitae.

-[creaking continues] -Mors janua vitae.

[muffled] Mors janua vitae.

Mors janua vitae.

[panting]

[boat approaching]

[motor rumbling]

[Selva, in Spanish] Sir.

[boater] Hold on, ma'am. I'll help you. Wait.

[Selva] Thank you.

-Can I hand you this? -Yes. [groans]

[Miguel] Pimpi, you can't throw away your whole career.

[Pimpi] I don't know what to do. I don't know how to handle this.

[Cuki] I told you.

Here's the plan: we come clean. I go to Italy, and you stay in Argentina.

We'll see each other when we can.

If we tell people what's going on now, your career is over, understand?

You're off the team, and I don't want that.

-[Cuki] What do you know? Huh? -I know.

-[Cuki] No. What do you know? -I know. Listen to what I'm telling you.

I love soccer, you know? I sacrificed everything for soccer.

And when I say "everything," eh, I mean everything.

No parties, no clubs, no birthdays, no nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

And I have no problem leaving soccer behind.

No problem at all.

I just don't want people to only remember me

as the soccer player that said he was a fag.

I don't want that. I just want to be a father, man.

I just want to be a father. Is that so bad?

-No, that's not bad. We know. -Is it? Is it? I want to say--

-[kisses] Sweetheart, I want to say sorry. -No, give me a hug.

[Pimpi] I don't know what to do. Believe me.

-Well, I don't know how to handle this. -It's all right.

[fire crackling]

That's it, Carmen. Clap. Pa.

-[Carmen] Clapping by myself is boring. -Pa, pa, pa.

Right, but it helps to come in on the one, which is hard for Hans. Chi, chi.

Chi, chi.

Hey, that sounds good.

[scatting]

-[music plays in distance] -[panting]

[sniffles]

[boat departing]

[Octavio in distance] Good.

[music continues]

[Octavio] Good.

Good evening.

[Octavio] What happened?

The water taxi, uh, never came.

I don't know.

Or I fell asleep and--

I don't know.

I told you that you were no longer welcome here, Selva.

[sighs] I know.

-But I wanted to tell you-- -Sit.

To tell you I'm sorry. Uh…

I said some nasty things.

And I also wanted to ask if I could come back to the group.

-[Carmen] Oh, yes. -[Elena] Yes.

-[Hans] Yes. -[Elena] You'll always be welcome here.

[inhales deeply]

Then let's hold hands. [sighs]

Let's close our eyes. [breathes deeply]

Luis, are you here?

Luis, Selva wants to talk to you.

Thank you, Luis, for being here with us.

Selva wants to tell you something.

I want to tell him that I miss him.

A lot.

[sniffles]

I think about you every day, Luis.

I can't shake that feeling.

I miss your embrace… [sighs] …your laugh.

The world has become so boring without you in it.

I'd give anything for some time with you.

Just a little bit of time.

We'd laugh about whatever.

But you were gone in an instant.

I didn't realize it. [inhales sharply]

And I missed your final moments.

But I won't be the one to keep you chained.

Because what I really want is for you to do what you have to do now.

I'll be fine.

I'll be strong.

Go, Luis. Go.

[sobs, sniffles]

[Raúl scatting]

♪ Being alone is divine All alone, I'm fine ♪

[scatting]

[pants]

[slurps]

Man, you're quite the audience.

-It's just-- -What is it?

-No, no, but-- -You didn't like it.

No. I mean, the song was fine. I don't know.

With all due respect, okay, Raúl? I'm not sure if you realized it,

but you're just singing about things that aren't good for you.

-No. Why? -Yeah.

Like not taking care of yourself, having a poor diet, uh, being dirty.

And that isn't as nice as you make it sound.

-Forgive me, okay? If I-- I-- -No, no, no, no.

-It's fine, it's fine. -I-- I didn't mean--

Pour me a maté.

I've made quite the mess.

-[sighs] -[cell phone beeps]

[María] Sweetheart, I'm calling because I'm very disappointed, you know?

You didn't come, but you didn't even have it in you

to send me a measly little birthday text.

I think I deserve better.

That's what I wanted to tell you, you know?

-[cell phone beeps] -[Miguel] As my mom used to say…

-[sighs] -…"I wasn't born yesterday."

I gotta tell you that, when Darío and Serena first arrived

and you weren't here, I didn't know what to do.

You'll see that you have a bunch of missed calls.

But I rose to the occasion soon after,

and I thought that you must've planned all this.

This time, I remembered not to leave anyone alone in the office,

just in case-- Well, in case they ended up having sex,

like Malena and Elías did that one time.

-[cell phone beeps] -If I had to sum up their session,

I'd say Serena looked really upset.

Amadeo and Darío seemed much calmer, you know?

About-- about breaking up.

-[cell phone beeps] -Ah! And what was with the scarf?

Because Amadeo took it.

Well, he stole it. Yeah.

Anyway, feel free to ask and I'll tell you what's in my notes.

-[cell phone beeps] -I made them wait for you

for the length of their session…

SESSIONS WITH TWO LOVERS WHO WANT TO BREAK UP

…and wrote down everything that seemed worth mentioning to you.

Oh, I'm wiped.

I honestly don't know how you do it.

Oh, and on top of that, Raúl came by this morning.

It wasn't like they were falling all over the place.

They were just a little drunk. More or less buzzed, I'd say.

I always see them drinking when you're there,

so I thought they could-- Uh, well, it won't happen again.

Who's that?

Miguel Ángel, my assistant.

He had to see some of my patients.

-A throuple. -A throuple?

No, well, I mean, he-- he-- Your assistant is also a psychologist?

Oh, no, no, but he has a knack for it.

They needed to talk, and somebody had to see them.

So why didn't you see them?

I'm not going to tell you my secret formula.

[chuckles] Fine.

I've already told you enough.

Besides, I don't know much about you.

Well, what do you want to know?

Why were you so interested in me?

Why else? I'm a fan of yours, Selva.

Oh. [scoffs]

I love what you do. You know that. So, come on. Let's record.

[chuckles]

[sighing]

[Lisa sighs]

Cue me in.

It would be nice if the only risk of loving someone

was the fear of losing them.

[distant applauding]

The fear of them leaving us

-after falling out of love… -[audience cheering]

…or after falling in love with someone else.

Sometimes, the risk of loving…

[applauding]

…is that life has no mercy.

And in an instant,

it can tear the person you love with all your heart away from you.

[sighs]

Just like that.

One day you realize you have an extra pillow,

and you're overcome with a sadness that feels like it's going to kill you.

[sniffling]

[sighs]

New message from Selva

I'll see you at the next session Come alone

[sighs]

[Selva] So, the question is: why fall in love?

It's a very basic thought: "If I don't risk it,

I won't suffer."

I'll distance myself from everyone that loves me

-and go live… -Mmm. Mmm.

-…in my castle of impenetrable solitude. -Right?

What do you think?

-So good. [chuckles] -Right? [chuckles]

But the gum thing is final. You don't like it.

-No, no, no, no, no. -No.

Not at all.

I love that aspect of the character.

[chuckles]

And I also love the scene where you're about to fall

off the cliff with the lovers.

I can't wait to film that.

-I think we'd use a crane that goes up. -Hold on there.

-And you'd fall out of the shot. -I was thinking.

I don't want you to make the show.

You or anyone else.

I need to put that behind me, mmm?

Fine.

If it makes you uncomfortable, say-- say no more.

I'm… [sighs] …going through something special.

[sighs]

Uh, a process of changes.

-So you'll start chewing gum, then? -No.

-Mmm. -[both chuckle]

And don't interrupt me because what's about to happen

comes around once every two thousand years, like Halley's Comet.

Sorry.

What I'm trying to say is…

I want to keep seeing you.

I don't know what you did on that trip…

but I like it.

[breathing heavily]

[both moaning]

[kissing]

Yeah, but make sure.

[Facundo] Yes, yes. Look. I don't--

All right.

[grunts, sighs] Nothing, right?

-[Selva] The anxiety of knowing… -It could also be over here, down here.

…what lies ahead is nothing more than fear.

-No? -No.

[sighing]

Fear and love: a tricky combination.

-I had it. [sighing] -[groans]

next episode "SERENA ISN'T SO SERENE"
