Selva.

Do you remember me?

Malena! What a surprise.

You're very pregnant.

Yes. You too?

What do you mean? Me?

ALTERNATIVE THERAPY

Thanks for coming, eh?

No, no need to thank me.

I also wanted to talk to you.

Yeah, it's still hard for me to understand what--

what happened between us.

What didn't happen between us?

Yes. Or no.

Or even though I get everything, Gloria's accident,

your family problems, what people are saying in the town,

the vandalism, the graffiti.

I get it-- I mean, I get all of it, all of it…

but…

let's agree that you left me high and dry.

I see you had some things you wanted to say.

I could not, nor did I want to be there.

Okay.

Okay, but, it hurt me-- it hurt me that you left.

Yeah, it hurt.

I'm sorry.

No?

I got back together with Claudia.

Yes. We're going to give it another try.

I'm happy, eh?

Yes. At least, you know, the kids are happy, yeah?

-She's their mom. -Yes, yes.

Yes, and it's good for them to see us together.

For them-- I don't know, for them to see-- see we're really trying.

And you?

Are you seeing anyone?

I'm good.

EPISODE 6 "SERENA ISN'T SO SERENE"

What-- Are you trying to kill me?

Are you trying to scare me to death? What are you doing?

Oh, please.

Why didn't you come last time?

Why are you doing this to us?

Who let you in? I--

Miguel Ángel!

Is Miguel Ángel here?

I'm the owner of this apartment. I don't know if you remember.

I remember. I remember.

I remember perfectly well every time I pay the rent.

I'm devastated, Selva.

Do you want something to drink?

Do you have cyanide?

I can offer you instant coffee. It's worse.

No, thanks.

I can't sleep.

You couldn't wait for our appointment?

No.

You couldn't do anything at all?

Last session, the one you weren't here for…

the three of us left here together.

Did the whiskey get to you?

-A little bit. -Just a bit, no?

You're not used to it?

I know that I shouldn't say this.

But I could stay like this forever.

At least a little bit longer.

No. No, I'm serious.

That guy couldn't wrap his mind around it.

I wasn't.

He asked you if we were siblings.

Yes. And you told him-- that yeah, we were siblings.

-No, but-- -How could you tell him that?

I mean, I think that's a little sick.

I mean…

It's horrible. How could you tell him that yes, we're siblings? Please.

-But Darío. You. -What about me?

And you wanted to explain to him that we were a throuple. I mean…

Well, it's just that, look, it's just that at that hotel no one understood anything.

-For sure. -No one understood anything.

-I wouldn't mind. -No.

I wouldn't mind if you'd explained it to him.

But we had such a good time.

-Lovely. -Great.

-Yes, we had… -So nice.

It was really intense.

I'd say it was "Ay, ay, ay."

Ay, ay, ay!

I'd say it was "Ay, ay, ay!" too.

"Ay, ay." Me three.

There, there…

There's a possibility we'll regret it, eh?

There is. There certainly is.

So the three of you met here.

You laughed, drank, and chatted. You had a good time.

Yes, it was lovely.

I don't even know what I want.

Good morning.

What? Am I late, or…

No. Serena got here early.

Ah, no.

I thought I was confused about the appointment time.

How was your birthday? How did you spend it?

Good, thanks.

Good.

Selva, I'll be upstairs.

Just call me if you need anything, and I'll be here.

Go ahead. Go. No worries.

So it was your birthday?

Yes.

Why do you always want to come to this pastry shop?

What's wrong?

No, nothing. It's the smell. I--

I don't know. It's full of old people.

Do you have gerontophobia?

-What's going on with you? -No, old people don't bother me. I--

I don't know. They put on too much perfume. I--

Did you get in a fight with Darío?

What does that have to do with anything? No, no. No.

It's like the waiter is constantly looking at us but he's acting like he's not.

And who's going tonight?

No one.

Well, Dana and Martina.

Well, Dana, Martina, and I aren't "no one."

Laura and Peter aren't going?

-No. -I think they're so--

Why? Did you have a fight?

I didn't get in a fight, Mom. Why would I fight?

No, I didn't fight. They can't make it. Laura had a--

a conference at the coast, and he went with her. That's why.

I just love those kids.

They're the kind of people that you see once a year, at the same event,

and you feel like they're family, right?

My birthday is a regular event now?

Laura is so nice.

And Peter is such a hunk.

A bit tacky.

-Shall we go to the shoe store, Mom? -But we just got here.

I'm dying in here. Let's go.

But--

I don't know why you second-guess yourself so much.

Because I like them both.

The black ones seem more your style to me, I don't know.

Yeah, but the brown also looks nice on me, eh?

Well, then take one of each.

So? How do they fit?

-Well. -She likes them both.

Well, both styles are pretty.

It must be hard to choose.

Yes, everything is hard for her.

I'm going to take both of them.

No. I'll only buy you the black ones as a gift, mmm?

Okay.

-I'll buy the other ones then. -Okay.

Pretty boots.

I could get them for my mom who also just had her birthday.

Let's continue.

I got hooked on one about women firefighters.

Is it good?

More or less. It's kind of stupid.

I got hooked either way.

Honestly, I pass out in bed as soon as it's nighttime.

Now the only thing I watch for a bit before going to sleep is Grace's show.

-I love it. -Love it.

She's a diva. Love her.

The Love Thief is fun.

Same here. Love it.

Although, what she did isn't fun at all, right?

You liked it, right?

-Yes, she even has the book. -Yes, yes.

Yes.

-Well, ladies, here are the pizzas. -Whoo-hoo!

-Good. -Bravo.

-Make a little room for me. -Make some room.

Thanks, honey. And another one over here.

-Thanks. -Okay.

Okay, if all of you are really hungry, just know there are two more in the oven,

-and I can make two more on top of that. -Great.

We missed your pizzas last year.

It's true.

I don't remember what you did last year, Sere.

I do remember.

I don't know. We didn't do anything.

What do you mean, "nothing"?

Well,

we had a cozy little celebration.

And this time, we crashed it.

-Yes. -Cheers.

Yes.

-I don't want to take away from this. Yes. -Of course.

How's everyone doing on drinks?

-This-- Should we cut it? -Did you invite someone else?

No. This is everyone.

Shall we eat?

Hi. How are you?

Darío, how are you?

How's it going? Come in. Come in.

-Hello. -How's it going?

-Hello. -Good evening.

Hello.

Happy birthday.

-For you. Happy birthday. -Thank you.

Thanks.

-Hello. -Hello, how are you?

-I'm her mom. Renata. -Amadeo. Yes, my mom.

-A pleasure. Excuse me. Thanks. -Hello. Martina.

-Martina, Dana, my friends. -How are you?

-Hello. -Hello.

-How are you? -Amadeo.

-Great. -This is great.

-Yes, sit down. -Have a seat.

-I'll just sit here, closer to the fire. -Yes.

-Excuse me. -He's the…

-Would you like wine? -Yes, a little wine.

Pretty flowers, eh?

Yes.

So, you're a gardener?

Yes, that's my job.

And how's it going?

It's going well. Really well.

Mom and her random question number 100,000.

No. It's fine.

-It's going quite well. -If I don't ask, I won't find out.

-Yes, no. You're right. -Of course.

Did it bother you that I asked?

-No, absolutely not. -Okay, see? It didn't bother him.

Amadeo takes care of our garden.

How about that.

Among other things.

What things?

Question number 100,001.

-The garden is lovely. -He always makes me laugh.

Oh, yeah?

-Yes, very lovely. -Okay. Thank you so much.

Plus, he's a legend at tennis, eh? You have to see him.

It's true you're obsessed with tennis.

Yes. Yes, yes.

How long have you known Darío and Sere?

-For one year. -Yes. For about a year. Yes.

Because I find it interesting that you never told me about him.

Apparently, I'm a very valuable secret, right? Just saying.

How about I go get the cake so we can cut it?

-Yes. -Go for it.

-Yes? -Great.

Go for it.

More wine?

-Thank you. -Yeah?

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Serena

Happy birthday to you

Think hard about your wishes, they just may come true.

Wait, wait. There's three of them.

-Ah? -I know.

-Bravo! -Bravo!

-Let's meet up soon, okay? -Yes.

-Let's plan to do something. -Yes, please. Please.

-Love you, Sere. Bye. -I love you.

Say hello to Lau for me.

-Have a good evening, okay? -Thank you. Thank you.

-Be good. -Okay.

I've got my car. Would you like me to take you?

No, thank you very much. I'm going to stay for a bit.

Okay.

-Bye, dear. -Bye.

My dear mother-in-law.

-Drive carefully, okay? -Yes.

-Don't speed. There's no hurry. -No.

-Rest well. -Thank you.

Bye. Bye, bye, bye.

Then the three of us were together,

and it had been a long time since that happened.

And Amadeo disappeared again.

And I don't get what happened.

I don't know if--

I never understand what's going on.

Why does he come back?

It pisses me off.

Why does he leave? Why? What happened before? What--

I don't get what happens.

And I start asking myself all the time-- all the time if I'm the third wheel.

And I feel like I opened myself up.

I surrendered to both of them and now I'm ending up with nothing.

Alone.

Nothing?

I don't understand how he wants me to take him

to two things that are happening at the same time.

So?

"So?" what?

So, yeah, I want to know, Silvia.

And I'll tell you the same thing I say to my son right now.

You can't do everything.

I'm sorry, Sere. It's the truth.

Let's see. With your numbers, you can easily get pregnant.

I hope you understand that.

Yes, but I need you to get me someone to have it with.

I already told you my life's falling apart.

Your relationship.

Your throuple.

Not your life, mmm?

My life.

Let me tell you something, dear.

Find someone on the street, yeah?

A neighbor, a donor, a friend-- someone.

You can get pregnant.

Don't waste more time.

But you're 40-something.

And with these numbers I'm looking at, as much as I'd like to help you

and light a candle to a saint every night, I can't freeze your eggs anymore.

I don't want to talk anymore.

I want to go.

Bye, Selva.

I'm certainly changing the lock, mmm?

I won't come in like that again, but change it if you'd like.

I'm going to change it.

-Hello. -Hello.

What a surprise, Marina. I wasn't expecting you.

What did you do with her, you psycho?

You're rather angry.

Where is she? Is she here?

Who?

-Faustina. Do you want me to look for her? -No, she's not here.

Look for her if you want to, but, no, she's not here.

Hello. Is something wrong, Selva?

And who's he?

I'm Selva's assistant.

-Who are you? -No.

She's Marina, Amadeo's girlfriend.

She's a bit nervous, but everything's okay.

I'm not interested in what you've done with Amadeo.

-But you are interested in Faustina. -Yes.

Any news from her?

Any news? No.

Honestly, no. I don't know.

Could you be more specific?

She left me. She's gone.

Faustina must be the owner of the scarf, right?

Go, Miguel Ángel. Go, go, go, go, please. Thank you.

Would you like to sit down?

For a second I thought she might be with you.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

It's me, it's me, it's me.

-What the fuck are you doing here? -You'll wake people up. Stop.

-Relax. -Are you crazy?

-You're crazy. -No. I knew you were going to leave. Stop.

-Relax. Are you okay? -You almost gave me a heart attack.

-Why didn't you come into the house? -I don't want you to go.

I'm going to lose her.

You already lost her, Marina.

Fucking shit.

-Marina, wait, wait. Wait. -What's wrong?

Are you sure Faustina is in Milan?

I'm going to get her back.

Why don't you come with me? We can start over there.

No, no, no. Stop.

-No, no, let's do things right, seriously. -And how do you do things right?

I can't stay here.

She's waiting for me there.

I'm not so sure about that.

-Are you jealous? -Me?

Yes, Amadeo, you're jealous. You're an idiot.

Here. Wake up.

This is Faustina's.

Of course. Who else would it belong to?

And why do you have it?

I found it in Selva's apartment.

Selva who? The one from TV?

And what were you doing in her apartment? You're fucking her.

No, I'm not.

But Faustina is.

Wake up, Marina.

Amadeo. Amadeo!

What?

Nothing.

You're not going to say anything.

No.

-One provoleta. -Okay.

One chorizo, one morcilla.

Some chinchulines.

Then bring a serving of skirt steak, some French fries,

and a carrot, tomato, and egg salad.

-Impeccable. To drink? -Hey.

A pingüino of the house red and sparkling water. The usual.

Yes. That's perfect. Perfect. Half- or three-quarters full?

No, three-quarters. You're surprising me, Walter.

Just asking. Just in case the boss here won't let you drink today.

Just to avoid any problems. Anything else?

Not for now.

Very good. Excuse me.

We came here with the boys after playing soccer.

I promise that when you try the skirt steak, you'll go wild.

It's the second most delicious thing I've eaten in my life.

And why didn't you take me to the place where they make the most delicious thing?

I didn't know whether you'd want to.

Is it worse than this?

It's the cannelloni Bolognese that my friend Lula makes.

But she makes them at home and…

-And? -Well, the…

-You saved me. -Very good. Here's the hydration.

Yes. Thank you.

-Would you like some? I'll serve you. -Be right back.

And you think I won't want to go to your friend Lula's house.

Well…

And why don't you invite me?

Are you calling my bluff?

You're so Buenos Aires.

Chin.

Do I have to say "chin"?

Let's just say I don't really see much of a solution.

Because Pimpi doesn't want to come clean.

And-- But he does want to be a dad.

I don't know.

And Cuki, who knows?

I don't-- I think he doesn't know what to do.

On top of that, it looks like he's going to another club. Did you see that?

I don't know. I think that-- between you and me, Selva,

Cuki isn't entirely sold on this idea of being a dad.

Plus, there's a big age difference between them.

And how's your relationship with Grisel going?

More and more difficult.

You know what it is, Selva?

I've never lived with anyone who isn't family,

and, well, it sort of makes me uncomfortable.

When you say "uncomfortable," what do you mean? Fear?

Yeah.

Why lie to you?

I'm scared.

What are you scared of?

That it won't work out.

That, I don't know, living with Grisel will turn out badly.

I don't know what it'd be like to live with her every day.

And leaving my mom alone just like that also scares me.

-I'm going to give you a bonus. -A what?

A prize.

A trip.

You're going to go somewhere with Grisel.

That way you'll see what happens when you're together for more than a weekend.

Are you being serious?

Where do you want to go?

I don't know.

Where could it be?

Where would you like to go?

I've never been to the ocean.

Grisel hasn't either.

Ask her. Then tell me, okay?

Thank you so much, Selva.

Sometimes you go overboard.

I say that from the heart.

You must be Manuel Ángel.

No, Miguel Ángel.

They changed my name for the book.

I'm Facundo. Nice to meet you.

Well, I'm leaving because I'm running late.

That's a lie, but saying it sounds good.

Bye, Miguelo.

-Bye. -Bye.

What?

Did you see what he called me?

"Miguelo." I already like him.

Well, go on now. I have to focus before seeing patients, please.

Ha. Since when are you focused on your patients?

Can you please shut up?

What are you dressed up as, Betty?

I dressed up like this-- as the living dead--

because to me, he's the living dead. He's dead.

Yes. And what did you dress up as?

A turd.

I see you two dressed like that.

I also listen to you.

And I think that this married couple-- your good friends who died--

acted as a mirror for you.

If they died, you two will also die.

What's wrong, Raúl? What are you thinking about?

I-- I don't really know.

But you got emotional.

Yes.

Is that bad?

What's wrong?

Do you want to tell us?

It's just that she's wearing that little hat, that woolen one…

It fits snugly on her head,

and a memory came to me of the first play we did together.

We did a loose adaptation of Pinocchio.

We were just getting to know each other.

Yes, he played Pinocchio and I played Geppetto.

Well, of course, we were 19 years old.

Sometimes I don't know if being with him makes time go by fast or slowly.

That was a long time ago, no?

It seems like a century ago.

What were you going to say, Raúl? If you have something to say, say it now.

This is the time.

No. I just…

I just find it so impossible that the girl with the woolen hat is like this now.

You'll probably think it's stupid, but it pisses me off.

But I see her…

I don't know. I see her--

I don't know how to put it.

I see her as old.

And I think she could be taken from me.

Do you get that I'm nothing without the girl in the woolen hat?

I don't know how to explain this feeling.

I'm devastated, blondie.

I can't keep fighting with you.

-I don't want to keep fighting with you. -No, no.

Okay.

The only thing I'm going to ask you…

is that you never die.

-Never. -No.

One second.

To go under, to go down, to sink.

They're all words that sound like losing.

Losing oneself.

Because, ultimately, we're feeble matter destined to transform into something else.

Of course, everyone has their own particular way, which changes quickly.

Those who know me know that I'm me.

This redhead is me.

The woman who makes these gestures is me.

But just for a fleeting moment, nothing more.

Thank you, Selva.

What a nice photo you took on your phone.

Almost everything is ready for the wedding.

But if I can help you with anything else, count on me.

And, by the way, I slept with someone.

More than once.

I won't reveal his name.

But now he wants to take me to eat at a friend's house.

So, I'm asking myself,

"Do I go, or do I skip it?"

-Cut. -Oh, yeah.

It was really good, right?

If not, we can record it again. That's not a problem.

Very good, very good, very good.

I loved it.

That's what I like about you, Selva.

Your gift.
