LONDON

THE LAST NIGHT AT TREMORE BEACH

Álex? Álex!

ONE YEAR LATER

EPISODE 1 DON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE

...especially Asturias,

is under a weather warning due to the arrival of Luzbel,

a thunderstorm accompanied by strong winds.

Heavy rainfall is also expected...

Socks, come here. Here.

It's yummy, huh?

Good morning.

I'll speak in Spanish to see if you react.

I've been calling your phone for days, but it's always disconnected.

Alexander Wells, from Warner, has the perfect movie for you.

I told him you're finishing your personal piece

and that you'd be back in London soon.

I sent you the script. We have one week to respond.

...celebrated in London last night

with anti-war messages and ribbons in support of refugees.

The British Academy of Film handed out awards to this year's winners

in an austere and dynamic ceremony.

Road to Somewhere was chosen as the winner.

This movie went from being the sleeper of the year

to the biggest hit of this award season.

Let's remember that one year ago, the Spaniard based in London,

Álex de la Fuente,

won this award in the original soundtrack category.

Sustain C minor and add a violin diminuendo.

It's total shit, but it's the best you've composed so far.

TREMORE 5

You have two new voicemails.

First voicemail at 9:00 a.m.

Hi, Álex. Remember that we scheduled a video call with the kids today at 9:30.

Please, don't forget. Ciao.

Second voicemail, today, at 10:12 a.m.

I don't know what's up with you, but you need to wake up.

Your kids miss you.

We've been waiting for half an hour and have to go.

Don't bother calling when you get a signal.

The kids are on winter break in Amsterdam. Niels bought tickets to the zoo.

We won't be home all day.

I'm sorry, Paula.

I was up all night composing and I slept in. I missed it.

Tell them that... that I love them and I'm sorry.

I'll call them as soon as I can, okay? Ciao.

TREMORE 2023 WINTER FESTIVAL

Hey, Álex!

- Hey! - Hey.

- Why are you going out in this weather? - It just started raining.

The big storm won't make landfall for another five hours.

Leo insists on fishing something nice for dinner.

Look. Check out these white seabream.

We could postpone. The weather...

No. Peio and Viviana just confirmed and you're the guest of honor.

They're coming all the way from town. Don't back out, you live next door.

If you brought someone, the drive would feel shorter.

Yeah, right. If you count my piano as my plus one...

Sure. I can't believe that after all these months...

I'll bring wine?

...the only thing you've touched is your piano.

- Okay. - Hey, don't back out!

I don't believe it!

- Believe it. - You're so annoying. Come on. Let's go.

JUDY'S HOSTEL

Excuse me. Are you the owner?

Yes. Why?

I need to talk to you for a second.

It's important.

The hostel is beautiful.

- It's nice. - I've never been here.

- Do you like it? - Yes.

What was that important thing you had to give me?

It's a...

special delivery.

This... This delivery is...

It's urgent.

- I think Eva suspects something. - Yes.

Yeah?

I'm going to use the Internet, okay?

Will you be long?

I just need to download a script.

Did you take on another movie?

That's what Allan wants.

What do you want?

I want to smother you with kisses.

I'm serious.

So am I.

I still feel like shit, Judy.

I spent all night going over the same note. It's a disaster.

Are you giving up?

No, but I can't stay here forever.

I'm just going to read the script.

Here it is.

Maybe I could ask Eva to cover for me so I can kidnap you tonight.

We can spend the night cuddling on the couch doing dirty stuff.

Yeah. That's tempting.

But...

I can't today.

- You can't? - I'm having dinner at Leo and María's.

They want to introduce me to some of their friends. I can't.

Well, then...

we could do dirty stuff until you have to go.

I was planning to work until 9:00 p.m.

I'll inspire you.

I see that.

Are you uncomfortable?

No. It's not you.

It's...

Were you back in Toulouse? At the car accident?

Yes.

How many fingers did you break?

Two phalanges. And fissures.

What a nightmare for a pianist.

And how did it happen?

I fell off my bike.

Want some water?

We have bad luck with accidents.

Hey. You never told me why you moved from Toulouse to Tremore.

Why'd you quit your nursing job to end up here?

I came here.

I liked it.

I stayed and... I changed.

Yeah, but...

I meant the extended cut.

With comments from the director, cinematographer...

- The collector's edition. - That's the limited edition.

That's level two.

We're still on level one.

Aren't you curious?

To get to know me better, I mean.

To me, you are Tremore Álex.

He's just passing through...

and he has another life.

And, from everything that I've told you,

is there absolutely anything that you want to know more about?

Nothing at all?

Nothing.

- When you and Paula separated... - She left me for someone.

And she took my kids to Amsterdam. That's different.

But you already knew that.

What's your question?

Out of all the places in the world...

Why'd you come here?

Because

I needed to be close to home.

A quiet place like this to find inspiration and compose.

So, I grabbed a random map,

closed my eyes, pointed my finger,

and landed on Tremore.

- No. - Yes.

- No. - That was it.

What if it had been Fisterra?

Then I'd be with a girl from Fisterra.

Judy.

Don't leave the house, Álex.

What did you say?

Don't leave.

Stay here with me. It's 2:00 a.m.

Judy?

What are you doing?

Did no one ever teach you to knock?

The door was open.

María must have left it open. She went to walk the dog a while ago.

She never stops.

Do you like it?

A lot.

Peio and Viviana are already here. They're dying to meet you.

You're like Superman to them.

So... be ready.

If they get too annoying, signal me.

- Here you have him. - Hello.

- He's all yours. - How are you?

Viviana. Peio.

- Peio, Viviana. Álex. - Viviana Pardales. Friends call me "Vi."

Nice to meet you.

Peio and Viviana have been our Tremore godparents.

- They helped us find this house. - Good job. The house is gorgeous.

- And she's seen all your movies. - Yes. I could hum all your songs.

I don't know if that's a compliment or a criticism.

- It's a compliment. - It's true.

She's your number-one fan in Tremore and beyond.

She's got all your soundtracks.

In fact, I brought this one to see if you could sign it.

It's my favorite. I've seen the movie a hundred times.

I always cry with those sharp violins at the end.

Look who's here.

- Hi! - Sorry.

It was impossible to get Sultán to come home.

Gosh, it's really raining!

Don't worry. You're just in time for the autographs.

Vi, I told you not to do that.

You don't mind, do you?

No, of course not.

I thought vinyl records were museum relics.

We may live in the middle of nowhere, but we have good taste.

- Yeah. - Thanks.

Let's see.

Vi is very involved in the town's cultural activities.

She organizes the winter's end festival

with a fair, bonfires...

and a mask parade where yours truly participates,

along with someone else I know.

It's the event of the year.

- Is that why the town is full of banners? - Yes.

I won't miss it. It sounds fun.

Great. There will be concerts too.

- Vi, you're unbelievable. - What?

He could play some of his music live. A mini-concert.

- We'd adapt to you. - It's a popular celebration around here.

The thing is that I'm composing, which takes time.

And the muses aren't coming to me.

Is that a yes?

That's a yes.

- That's a yes. - I think that was a yes.

Besides, an artist like you can't lose inspiration for long.

That's if I ever had it at all.

- Please. - Álex, please, don't say that.

I wasn't being completely serious. Don't...

- Again? - My God.

- It's a big one. - The electricity went out.

It's pouring.

We don't often see thunderstorms

with so much lightning.

I spoke with civil defense over the radio. It will be over at around 2:00 a.m.

Over the radio?

We have one here at home for emergencies.

Since the landline comes and goes and there's no signal...

Just like Álex and his muses.

They can't find you here.

Hey, is this you two?

- Yes. - That's us in Brazil. Yes, sir.

- In Chile! - In Chile.

- I said Chile. - Chile?

I painted those in front of Neruda's house.

- You don't remember? - What do you expect him to remember?

His brain is liquified.

The least interesting thing about Neruda is where he lived.

Ever held an exhibition?

No. I paint... for myself.

It's the way I express myself. I don't know.

A good dealer would change your mind.

"When it's a question of money, everybody is of the same religion."

- Voltaire? - Did I already say that?

A thousand times.

I hate to say this, but, even though you cooked, it's delicious.

- Thanks, man. - It's delicious.

It's better than what Susi sells.

She says it's her husband's daily catch,

but I think she buys it frozen from Gijón.

Yes. By the way, did you hear what happened to them?

- No. - Oh, yeah.

Their house was broken into last week.

- Really? - Yes.

What did they steal? A TV and a couple of hake?

Not everything is a joke.

A couple of months ago, someone broke into Luiso's house.

His three kids were at home sleeping.

- That's not funny. - Nothing ever happens in Tremore.

- The robberies happened. - That's what José Luis says, but...

The mayor.

We've lived here for ten years. I never lock the door to go to the beach.

Well, we got security cameras, just in case.

With this blackout, that camera will be very helpful.

We have neighbors we can ask for help.

But if something like that happens here, will you call someone on your boat radio?

It's just a bunch of kids up to no good.

And if they're not,

and someone decides to break in, I have this hunting shotgun.

- Your grandpa's relic? - It's a junk museum piece.

But if someone decides to break in, it would scare them away, right?

If someone decides to break in, the best thing to do is run away.

Here, on a night like this...

- You're being dramatic. - I'm just cautious.

- Bravo! - Great.

- Finally! - Thank God.

Well, I...

The streetlights are back on. It's a good time to head home.

- Are you okay? - Yeah. I'm good.

ROAD TO THE LIGHTHOUSE OLD ROAD TO TREMORE

You're in the provincial hospital.

Do you know why you were admitted?

I think I was struck by lightning.

Does it hurt?

My skin. It feels tight.

Follow the light, please.

If your neighbors hadn't found you, the side effects could have been serious.

We were just in time to prevent more damage.

You really scared us, kid.

How long have I been asleep?

Five hours. We sedated you to recover your vital signs.

I'm...

- I'm thirsty. - Sure.

I shouldn't have let you leave.

You kept your secret well.

Thanks for calling me.

You talked about her in your sleep. She called you non-stop.

How are you?

Like fried chicken.

Don't exert yourself.

We'll let you sleep a bit more and then we'll run some tests.

You should go home and rest.

We'll stay with him. We're his only family here.

I called Eva. She's going to stay at the hostel. I can stay.

Are you sure?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Let us know when you get the results.

- Okay. - I'll see you to the door.

I'll be right back.

- Get some rest. - Be careful with the sockets.

Hey. Is this going to be a running joke from now on?

- Bye. - Ciao.

Ciao.

Our secret's gone to shit.

Yeah.

Thanks for staying.

How do you feel?

Dizzy. And full of pee.

I'll get a bedpan.

No. I refuse to pee in that thing.

Álex, I was a nurse. I've seen worse.

It's just that...

Well, that's level two.

Holy shit.

What's wrong?

Come here.

What's that?

Does it hurt?

It burns.

They're called Lichtenberg figures.

These skin tattoos are the result of capillary ruptures

caused by electrical current passing through the body.

The good news is they'll subside soon.

What's the bad news?

They'll cause discomfort.

Headaches, disorientation, cutaneous irritation...

- Will he get better? - Yes, of course.

Only ten percent of cases suffer severe side effects.

It all depends on its trajectory inside the body.

There's an entry point, internal route, and exit point.

During this trajectory, the lightning burns everything.

Depending on the areas it hits, the injuries can sometimes be fatal.

We'll keep you under observation tonight. If everything's okay, you can go home.

Right now, all I can say is you were very lucky.

Álex, are you okay?

Álex!

We have to take him to the hospital! Help me pick him up!

Hold on. We're almost there.

Judy.

Judy.

Don't leave the house, Álex.

- Why am I plugged into this? - You've been sleeping for 30 hours.

It's a drip. You were becoming dehydrated.

What was the headache like, continuous or throbbing?

It was as if...

I had a heart inside my head.

A pulse.

Ticktock.

Ticktock.

Stronger each time.

- Double vision? Dizziness? - Only images from the day before.

Yes, nightmares can be a severe aftereffect.

I'll give you something for your head.

I'll also prescribe you painkillers and salve for your skin.

You shouldn't drive for a few days.

Avoid stress and strong stimuli.

This is where it happened.

I considered driving around it by taking the road to the lighthouse.

If I had, this wouldn't have happened.

But you didn't.

So don't brood over it.

Do you believe in fate?

- Fate? - Yes.

My mother believed in fate.

She...

thought I was predestined to be a musician.

She became obsessed with making me what I am.

Maybe I didn't have a choice.

You could have rebelled.

But I didn't.

Just like I didn't take the lighthouse road.

What's wrong, Álex?

There's something I haven't told anyone about the night of the accident.

Someone told me I shouldn't go to that dinner.

Who?

A voice

that's still inside my head.

Your voice.

- It can't be. - I know.

I know.

It's as if something were telling me what was going to happen.

Something? What?

When I got out of my car,

I thought, "Don't do it. You shouldn't have left the house."

And my mind said, "Don't be an idiot."

"Álex, you couldn't have heard Judy. That's impossible."

"Prove to yourself everything's okay."

"Get out of the car, move the tree trunk, and go home."

That's when the lightning struck.

I know how you feel.

In Toulouse, after my car accident,

the guilt of not foreseeing what was going to happen led me to think foolish things...

to avoid facing my fears.

No one knows what's going to happen, Álex.

We're free to choose our own fate.

Even if we mess up.

- Let me help. - Yes, please.

Thanks.

The telephone pole fell down.

This woke me up and I saw you weren't here.

I don't know how your cat got out.

- I didn't let him out. - I told you.

He gets in and out through some hole.

And he's not my cat.

I'm watching him while I'm here.

Great, the storm blew the fence down too.

What a shitty night.

I've seen this movie a thousand times.

What's it about?

It's the story of two lovers

separated by the Wall after the war.

Did you take your pill?

- Yes. - Yeah?

No. Sorry.

I don't know what they want me to do with this or why they called me.

I know what's going to happen.

It's terrible. Thanks.

Forgive me.

I just realized something.

Realized what?

You didn't want to be a nurse and I'm making you be one.

I don't think Socks could care for you.

You owe me one.

I owe you as many as you want.

Are you okay?

My skin feels tight, but I'm okay.

Don't leave the house, Álex.

If I'm interrupting a romantic moment, I'll come back later.

We slept in.

Is something wrong?

No. Of course not. You could sleep all day for all I care.

I'm kidding.

I'm here to check in on you.

I'm doing much better.

- You look pretty good. - Yes.

- And to bring you this. - What is it?

A radio transmitter.

The phone company says that we can forget about it for another month.

My agent will love that.

Starting today, this beauty is your window to the world.

It's connected to another marine radio that I have back home.

Okay.

You turn it on.

Here. Turn it off. Turn it on.

This is for talking. Press here to talk.

Let it go so I can reply. Press it again to talk.

If you don't let it go, it won't work.

- So I can only talk to you? - That's right.

But I can talk to other radios I'm connected to.

Okay?

I'm off.

I have the night shift tonight.

I made coffee if you want some.

Thanks.

Bye.

Bye.

- I like her. - That hurts.

Don't.

She suits you.

That said,

a beer would be better, right?

And in exchange, we'll fix that fence.

Watch your hand.

Ready.

Give me another one.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's go!

Come on. You must be exhausted from working.

I don't know if my doctor would approve.

And who is your doctor?

- You're my doctor. - Okay then.

So what now?

How's Judy?

Friends with benefits.

She lives at her place, I live at mine, and everyone's happy.

- What's the problem? - I'm going to leave and she's happy here.

You think too much. Life is much simpler than that.

I'm realistic and so is she.

"The young man's character is shaped by his desires."

- Cicero. - Do you have a quote for everything?

I'm telling you to follow your instincts.

If María and I had been realistic...

She was a painter and a hippie globetrotter.

I was a shark lawyer for a multinational company.

If you can think of a worse match, I'll treat you to another beer.

How did you meet?

In Caracas.

In Painters' Square.

I was working on a case for the law firm that hired me.

I went out for a walk,

and there she was,

exhibiting her paintings, trying to rip off tourists...

So I went up to her and we talked for a bit.

She ripped me off too.

It took me like, I don't know,

three weeks to get her to go to dinner with me.

I had no doubt.

You didn't want kids?

We tried.

It didn't happen.

I'm sorry.

We've been through a lot in life.

Marvelous things...

and some not-so-marvelous things.

We love each other a lot.

And that's what matters.

What brought you here?

Well, I had made enough money to retire,

and all María wanted was

to live a quiet life and paint,

having a cold beer and enjoying the sunset.

Life can be almost perfect, Álex.

But you have to think less.

Otherwise, happiness is impossible.

So...

cheers.

- Leo. - What's wrong?

- Leo... - María!

What's wrong?

- What's wrong? - Leo.

- Leo. - María.

María, what's wrong?

- Leo. - What's wrong with Leo?

But, María...

No.

Leo, are you there?

Leo, can you hear me?

Leo.

Leo!

Leo!

Leo!

Leo!

Leo!

Leo!

Leo!

Álex!

Leo! María.

- What's wrong? - María.

- She's at my house. - What?

- She's hurt. - She's here.

She's bleeding.

- Álex, María is here. - No.

- Call an ambulance. - Ambulance?

- Someone broke in. - No.

- Where were you? - She's upstairs.

- No! She's at my house. - Álex.

- Álex, put the stick down. - Be quiet.

Put the stick down, Álex.

Álex?

- What's wrong? - Álex.

Impossible.

Are you okay?

Álex, María's okay.

Álex, we're okay. Look at me.

Álex!

Álex!

- What did he say to you? - I don't know.
