They're turning up the pressure.

The birthday party's
really just an excuse

to celebrate Iván moving in with us.

You could go. Get to know him better.

f*ck. You gotta be kidding me.
Don't drag me into your bullshit.

Even if we came out of the same
place, Iván isn't my brother, okay?

Wouldn't you like to be
a family, the three of us?

So is it family, or more the
inheritance calling to you?

You don't have to say the first
thought that passes through your head.

Well, I said don't drag me into this.

Look, there he is. Go and tell him.

Say, "Hello. I'm your

You have a brain. Use it.

I can't be that straightforward.

We'll ease him into it

[CHLOE SIGHS]

[QUIETLY] What is this?

It's for Sonia.

It's a vintage device that plays music.

- [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
- I made her a playlist.

How do you share the songs on that?

[CLICKS TONGUE] That's not how it works.

- You don't share this. You use it to...
- [GIRL] Shh!

[QUIETLY] I'll tell you

I'm sorry. Can I help you? Are you
a child who needs some attention?

PLAYLIST ADDED TO YOUR MUSIC

Um, can I have that back?

Thank you.

[ERIC] I shared a playlist with you.

So you can use your squatter
songs to conquer my heart?

To get to know you.

We can communicate through music.

There wasn't much
talking when we hooked up.

I'm sorry. Is that what you call it?

[SCOFFS] You don't talk,
but you tease, don't you?

Well, I tease 'cause the grand
gestures belong in rom-coms.

It's a small gesture. We had
chemistry with each other.

- [GIRL] Shh!
- [QUIETLY] Hear that? Silence.

[WHISPERS] Just so you know,
silence is my favorite music.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

And I don't need to know anything
more about you after this bullshit.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [SOMBER MUSIC FADES]

[CHLOE] Hey, listen. I'm sorry.

- [IVÁN] What for?
- [SIGHS]

Well, because I treated you
more like a Kleenex than a man,

and I went way overboard.

It's no big deal.

Honestly, at first I was up for it.

Then I wasn't, but
because of my own stuff.

- Not your fault.
- Yeah, but we know I went pretty hard.

- Yeah, you did. [LAUGHS]
- [CHLOE] Yeah.

I know it might not seem like it,
but I'm incredibly socially awkward.

With people, I'm like a
bull in a china shop, y'know?

I'm awful at making friends.
And at first impressions.

No one makes plans with me.
I don't get invited to...

Hey, come to Sara's birthday.

- [CHLOE] Really?
- Of course.

I mean, sign me up. But
I wasn't invited by her.

Well, I live there, so you're invited.

Mm, great.

- Great.
- [CHLOE] Okay.

- See you there.
- [CHLOE] Yeah, awesome.

MOM: YEAH, I WAS INVITED.

[PHONE CHIMES]

What really pisses me off is that
all this is driving me away from Isa.

And what does she have to do with it?

Luis, maybe I should use that app

to talk about my private
life instead, y'know?

That's an option.

Although, I thought
you might wanna open up

to an actual human.

[HESITATES] I appreciate it, really.

The other day, I was worked up.

But, um, I'd rather not
talk about me or my family.

Hey. Is that a mixtape?

- [SONIA] A what?
- [OMAR CHUCKLES]

May I?

Maybe you're not as
alone as you think, huh?

Who said I was alone?

My bad. That came across as creepy.

It's just, I've been watching
you. You and the other students.

f*ck. That sounded better in my head.

- What I...
- Calm down.

You're the guy who runs
the app, right? Omar, yeah?

- Nice to meet you.
- [SONIA] Likewise.

I'm Sonia. It's cool
someone around here cares.

You wouldn't happen to be looking
for a volunteer, would you?

- [OMAR SCOFFS]
- No. I'm a really good helper.

And you could use someone
who's close to the students.

I appreciate the offer.

But I've already strayed
too far from protocol.

I was supposed to be
doing this from afar.

If you watch us like that,
you're a creeper for sure.

No. No, no. It's not that.

I'm with Joel.

saying they were impressed with
the party and clamoring for more.

I say, total success.

In the end, between the party and
the rent, we made a bunch of money.

You were right, hon.

Babe. Not here at school.

They've seen us half naked in

Hey. I need your full attention.

That goes for you in the showers too.

I'm gonna be teaching a

It's extracurricular.

To sign up, let me know.

Tell me in person, through
WhatsApp, DM, however you like.

Every woman should take it.

'Cause there are a lot
of wolves in the forest.

And you need to be prepared.

[TENSE MUSIC FADES]

- This is harassment, you know.
- [JESSICA SIGHS]

No, I'm looking after a student
and following up. It's my job.

You're not interested in the classes?

I don't like v*olence.

Defense.

You might not like
v*olence, but some do.

You need to make sure you're protected.

You misunderstood.

I understood you loud and clear.

Leaving Raúl is not an option.

It's not.

Then here are your options.

Stay with him and pray to whatever god

you choose that he will keep you safe.

Or you learn to defend yourself.

In case things go wrong.

When I lived through the same hell

believe your psychopath brother?

'Cause he's family? But we

Why the f*ck are you here?

You're not living if you don't crash
a good party now and then, dear.

No, Mom. You're leaving right now.

You have no interest in
helping me with your brother.

stop saying he's my brother?

If you won't do your

I'm gonna do my own

[CARMEN] Whoo!

[PATRICK ON RECORDING] I
refuse to lose you forever.

Even if it is necessary.

Let me live with the hope that
one day we will meet again.

Hey there.

Why are you all alone?

Ma'am, why are you here?

Oh, Iván. Please don't be so
formal. You and I are friends.

Aren't we?

- Well, um...
- Want some? Are you all right?

That voice message sounded very intense.

It is, yeah.

Or it was, I guess.

Some long-lost love?

Would that be why you're
missing out on your own party?

It's not my party.

Every party can be yours if you
put your mind to it, my dear boy.

Tell me about the message.

Who was it? Or who is it?

My ex.

- And the guy they say ran me over.
- Who says that?

The investigators.

And the evidence.

But I don't believe it.

[SIGHS] So I keep obsessing, trying
to figure out what really happened.

And what if the truth isn't
what you want it to be?

[SIGHS] Well, um... I don't know.

In this life, you shouldn't seek

the truth unless you're truly prepared.

Otherwise, don't pry.

If it isn't the answer I want, then...

I would never be the same.

- That's right.
- [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

My advice you haven't asked for...

Keep forging ahead in the belief
your boyfriend didn't do it.

And then you can let it go.

As long as you keep looking to the past,

asking questions that
are better left unsolved,

you're missing out on all the
other beautiful things in your life.

[SIGHS] I don't know
what those things are.

You'll see them. Trust me.

When you step out from
under the past's shadow,

that's when you'll see it.

Anyway, out there is a party
waiting for you with your name on it.

Quite literally.

My dear, with Iván,
my heart was shattered.

Then you came along and
gave me another chance.

A consolation prize. Is that it?

You felt guilty for abandoning
him, and you had me as penance.

If you had kept him, I wouldn't
even exist. I know that.

Look at me, baby. Look at me.

I'm gonna see if I can
call Nico from the street.

There's no service in here.

If you see him, please
tell him to wait for me.

Sweetheart, you don't think
there's a reason he won't answer?

No matter how many chances
you give him and what he says,

if you're someone's
priority, they'll show it.

And he'll treat you like
dog sh*t over and over again.

And you'll be like, "One day, I
bet he'll notice." [CLICKS TONGUE]

But no. It's like being invisible.

Trust me. f*ck someone
else to forget him.

[SCOFFS] So you've
got it all figured out.

For you, f*cking's a way to
get away from your problems.

It's not about f*cking, Chloe.
It's about building relationships.

With love, affection. Heard of it?

Guess not. 'Cause when I offer
you any, you bite my hand.

- That's not what I'm into.
- You're scared to be vulnerable.

You won't let anyone see inside you,

in case they discover you're
not as hollow as they think.

And you have to start being
responsible for your feelings.

I'm not saying this to hurt you,

but to see if you'll
wake the f*ck up one day.

You here to party with us?
That's not against protocol?

Uh, Joel's upstairs, right?

Yeah, why? What's wrong?

[OMAR SIGHS]

They were dancing, that's all.

A misleading photo.

Really?

[SIGHS] I'm going f*cking crazy.

What the hell am I doing,
huh? Either I trust him or not.

No, I was just saying it's

It's too much, y'know?

It's not just Joel. It's the app.

I'm just not sure I'm
the best person for it.

- You are. You're caring and...
- But what if I don't do a good job?

And something happens to someone?

But you can't be responsible.
Not for other people.

You cannot tell anyone.

If you still stand by
your offer to help out,

I'd like to find out who's
sending these messages.

I JUST WANT TO STOP BEING INVISIBLE.

Any idea who it is?

And he'll treat you like
dog sh*t over and over again.

And you'll be like, "One
day, I bet he'll notice."

But no. It's like being invisible.

I have an idea.

["MANIFESTACIÓN" BY

Ciao, handsome.

I, um... I have to go to work.

Hey! You seen my cousin anywhere?

Um, uh, I haven't.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Nico!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

They arrested Rocío.

They what?

I couldn't do anything.

So you ran away? And left her?

What should I have done?
Go get myself arrested?

I just wanted you to
keep your nose clean

and keep yourself out of danger.

And me and my friends.
Was that too hard?

What about you?

What were you doing
while they arrested her?

["MANIFESTACIÓN" CONTINUES PLAYING]

I thought you might've left. I'm
so sorry for what I said earlier.

[NICO] Chloe!

I, uh, didn't do it to hurt you but
to see if you'd wake the f*ck up.

I told you he's not a good person.

I thought you might need help,

but now I see you're just
a g*dd*mn bitch and a bully.
