Dad Quest, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Sir, your suitcase.

Hello?

Gallo, I need you to pick up Benito.

Can he spend the night at your place?

Please, I have

a very important dinner party.

The nanny's sick

and my mom's out of town.

Who is this?

Gallo, this is Alicia.

Don't say no, okay?

You haven't seen him for three months.

Can you be a dad tonight?

Gallo?

Hello?

Okay.

Can you pick me up?

What? Where are you?

At the airport.

What? Why do you want me to pick you up?

I can't drive, Alicia.

Why can't you?

I had some clonazepam for

I used too many drops.

No, Gallo, for real?

It's always the same with you.

My reflexes are off.

Call someone from your team to help you!

I'm not coming to pick you up.

Forget it! I'm not coming.

You know that stuff

thins your brain cortex, right?

Oh, come on. I couldn't sleep.

So, why did you go to Miami?

To Miami, why did you go?

I went to a TV trade show

and to pitch a new project.

- What?

- To pitch a project.

- Alright.

- What?

So how was it?

Terrible.

- You're picking up Beni, right?

- Yes.

- At five?

- Yes

What do you mean at five?

Isn't that too late for school?

He's at therapy, Gallo.

He has therapy. It's Tuesday.

I know!

What? I'm also his parent.

Great, because you're paying for it.

- I'll text you the location.

- Great.

So now that he's staying with you,

could you try to spend more time with him?

He said last time, you were meant

to help him with his homework but you

- Gallo!

- What's up?

"My neighbor stole my dog

and turned him into tacos."

Carmen's already done that.

Okay. "My son skips class

because of trap music."

- Morning.

- Good morning.

- Laura did something similar.

- Really? Okay, I have another one.

A woman sued her husband

because of his bad breath.

Good morning.

A bit of drama.

- Drama?

- Yes.

So if you want drama, we need a mother.

A mother belonging to the Opus Dei.

A mother from the Opus Dei.

She's sick. She's in a coma.

When she wakes up,

her daughter is now her son.

- Very good.

- Is it?

Save it for Easter.

- Okay.

- Okay.

The actors for today are ready.

Do you need anything else for the show?

- Sorry?

- Today's show, Gallo.

About the butcher, remember?

Right! Have the man's son wear a T-shirt

with a piglet face, something cute.

Make it read "Friends, Not Food."

Okay, a T-shirt with a piglet face.

"Friends, Not Food." Perfect.

See you later.

- Hi, Gaby.

- Good morning, Gallo.

Your host, Ana Patricia del Moral.

Zoom out, camera three.

THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD

Zoom out a bit.

We have a meaty topic for the show today.

Camera two, follow Paty.

Eligio is a fourth-generation butcher.

One day, Eligio discovered

all his products had been covered

in green paint by a group of activists.

- Pan from dad to son.

- Zooming in.

In the middle of the group

and staring straight into his eyes

Zoom in on Paty.

Jos Mara, his own son.

- On the reaction.

- Let's give this family a chance

No audience this time.

to understand someone is

The best thing in the world!

Go with him!

Don Eligio, can you please tell me

when did this issue begin?

Well, before the paint incident

All yours.

He was ashamed of me.

- Hello?

- Aren't you picking up Beni anymore?

Or did you forget?

Do you really believe I would forget?

Do you really want me

to answer that question?

Okay, drop it. Anything else?

- Just don't be late. Please.

- Sure. Thanks.

Hello.

- Come in. Can you close the door, please?

- Sure. Sorry.

Benito, your dad is here.

- I'll be right back!

- Right.

Beni?

- Hi, Gallo.

- Ready?

I need to go first.

Okay, go.

- Hello!

- Hello.

- How are you?

- Good.

You remember me, right?

Do you remember me?

- Alicia's friend.

- Sure, yes.

- I'm Diana. Yes?

- Yes.

- Would you give me a hand with him?

- Sure.

He's just old, you know?

- Where's Benito?

- In the restroom.

- Great.

- Yes.

There you go.

Good boy! That's a good doggy.

- That boy is adorable, right?

- Yes.

Except for his little problem

- What problem?

- You know.

No, I don't know.

The reason why we bring him to therapy.

With his psychologist.

The reason why Alicia and I

decided to take him to therapy and

No, I'm his learning therapist.

I help him with homework.

Everything that has to do

with school, I help him with, but

It's been a year, Gallo.

I've been paying for this therapy

for a year, so

Actually, I noticed he's a little lazy

at school, so I was a bit concerned.

- Maybe he's doing better now.

- Why don't you ask him?

We're not going to talk about school.

- We're here to have fun, buddy. Right?

- I don't know.

- Tell your dad how you're doing at school

- Thank you.

- Nice to meet you.

- But we met before.

- Bye, Diana.

- Bye, Benito.

- Take care.

- Thanks, let's go.

RECOGNITION AWARD

THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD

Come on, Gallo!

Weren't you clearing up my room?

It looks like a storehouse.

I really intended to. I'm swamped.

It's worse than last time.

I'll get it ready.

Do you want something for dinner?

- Yes, pizza.

- Okay.

- Go shower. I'll get dinner.

- Double cheese.

You can use my room, I'll stay here.

And pepperoni.

Is this for real?

- It's so good.

- It's awful.

I bartered

with the local Japanese restaurant.

It's real sushi.

- Gross.

- From Okinawa.

That teacher seemed nice, right?

A bit of a weirdo, but nice.

- What's up?

- What?

You're not eating?

I wanted pizza.

- You should have told me.

- I did!

Let's talk!

You talk to me, we listen

to each other and then I understand.

How's school? Good?

Good.

- So, do you have a girlfriend?

- No, but I like a girl.

- She's older, from fifth grade and is

- Hello?

- What's up, "Bolas"?

- What's up, Gallo?

- When are we closing the deal?

- Straight away.

- The concept is clear, right?

- Yes!

It's a reality show.

No, not an ounce of comedy.

Just like you, dude.

- What?

- No, not a problem. You trust me, Gallito.

Of course, I trust you. Listen, let's

No, let's knock it out of the park,

but like scoring from midfield.

There's no other way.

- Cheers, man.

- You too.

Hey.

Good luck with the girl, the one you like.

Okay, bye.

When you wake up,

you won't be angry

That's it, champ!

If someone walks in front of the TV.

You will understand

the value of sharing

your space with other people.

Here comes the magic. Hctor.

You will accept

that you're part of a community.

NEW MESSAGE

One.

CAN I SEE YOU TONIGHT?

Two.

I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

Three.

YES.

Wake up

now!

Hey!

Right on the dot, as usual.

- Is everything okay?

- Sure, fine.

- Nice place, isn't it?

- Yes, it's nice.

It's the only Okinawa-style sushi in town.

I talked to the owner

and got a barter deal. Three times a week.

Of course.

- Sorry, I skipped lunch. And I'm

- You're swamped. Yes.

How was your important dinner party?

It was good, very good.

- How did things go with Beni?

- It was amazing.

He's a great kid. Ana!

Would you be a dear

and bring a menu for the lady?

- Did you eat?

- No, but I'm not hungry.

- Just a small dish.

- No, I'm okay, thanks.

- Sure?

- Yes.

Let me switch this off.

It's driving me crazy.

The lady is popular.

Do you remember "Happiness"?

The agency where I worked for ten years.

Yeah.

They invited me to a reunion.

I wasn't going,

but I decided to go and I confirmed.

- So, now everyone is replying.

- That's good.

I never met anyone

from that agency, did I?

I asked to see you

because something important came up

during the dinner party.

What was it?

I was offered to lead the consultancy

in Madrid.

Great, that's awesome!

Yes

But I have to move there.

Are you sure you don't want any sushi?

With Beni.

I need to move there with Beni.

Yes, it's clear you must go with Benito.

Of course.

I always thought of taking him to Europe.

I think he's going to love Madrid.

Ana,

we will have a bottle of sake.

Cold or warm?

Warm.

What's in your chest, Gallo?

- Sorry?

- No, I mean, inside.

Is it tofu

or what is it, instead of a heart?

I don't get it.

I'm telling you

that I'm taking your son away

to the other side of the world.

And you talk about sake and sushi.

What the? What's wrong?

What's wrong with you?

What would you have me say?

That you can't take him?

I would like you to show a bit of heart.

Just a little bit.

You don't give a f*ck.

Okay. So, should I get a lawyer

and stop you from taking him anywhere?

No, hey!

Thanks.

- Help me understand you.

- Understand what?

Why did you take care of Benito?

Here we go.

No, it's a serious question.

That's what we both wanted.

Did you expect me to leave you alone?

But he wouldn't always be waiting

for you to show up.

- Leave Benito out of this.

- We're talking about him.

No, we're not, we're talking about you.

You kept waiting for someone to show up.

I haven't expected anything

from you for years.

Great. We both expect nothing

from each other. The perfect relationship.

Do you love him?

- Seriously?

- No, I mean it.

Do you love him?

I work my a*s off for his sake.

Why wouldn't I love him? He's my son.

Are you sure he's your son?

Excuse me?

What did you say?

I'm sorry. I meant nothing by it.

We'll talk later, okay? I need to go.

- We'll talk later.

- What?

I'm sorry.

Alicia.

Alicia?

Help! Call somebody!

Call a doctor!

She was always

the first one at everything.

Right?

I'm sorry for your loss.

When I was

When I was a bit older than you,

my

Buddy.

Everything will be okay, I promise.

- Elena.

- Grandma.

How are you, sweetheart?

I'm fine.

Your dad and I talked,

and we thought that the best thing,

for now, will be that you stay with me

for a few days.

- Is that okay?

- Yes.

You like grandma's house better anyway.

Right?

- Let's go. See you.

- Okay.

GENETICS LAB

SEARCH

Keep calm, ladies, keep calm.

- They don't look alike.

- Now, who will it stay with?

Yes, they're sisters.

Who does the kitten feel

a stronger emotional connection with?

Zoom in on her.

Close up.

Look how happy it is.

The kitten's fine, that's the key.

GENETICS LAB RESULTS

Where did you get that cat from?

That's it.

NEGATIVE PATERNITY TESAre we going off? Gallo?

Shall I cut to commercials?

Gallo? What do we do now?

Gallo?

Hi, sweetie!

- What are you doing here?

- Hey, buddy!

Grandma died.

What?

No, I came here to

Let's go and grab something to eat.

What would you like?

- I want burgers.

- Okay, no sushi.

- Let's go. Is everything okay?

- Yes.

- Really?

- Yes.

So, you want

a father and son conversation?

Yes.

It's very important

that you understand what I want to say.

It's like something that hurts,

but in the end, it's for the best.

Like

Like getting your shots, for example.

Did it hurt?

It hurt my arm a lot,

but after a few days,

it was okay.

But my arm was infected.

They were going to cut it off.

Okay, what I want to say

is like something that you need to get.

It might hurt, but it's for your own good.

It's like a vaccine.

Like a vaccine against what?

Against me.

What do you mean?

Come closer.

I'm not your dad.

That didn't hurt.

Alright.

So who's my dad?

I don't know that.

Your mom never told me.

But that changes nothing.

We can still see each other.

Of course it changes nothing.

You're not my dad anymore.

- Hi, sweetheart!

- Grandma!

Tonight, we have a stunning

and shocking case.

On the one hand,

we have Gabriel, aka Gallo,

a hard-working man,

father of a ten-year-old boy,

who just found out he's not his son.

On the other hand, we have Alicia,

the perpetrator of that lie.

Let's give love a chance,

because loving someone is

The best thing in the world!

So Alicia, tell us,

did you suspect that Gallo

wasn't Benito's dad?

I suspected it.

Dreadful.

- And why didn't you?

- Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to have a child with you.

Why me?

Because I always thought

you were a good guy.

Things between us didn't work,

but driving you away from Beni

wouldn't protect him.

He needs you.

And I know that what I saw,

that extraordinary man

Is still there.

STRICKEN

Come in.

Ma'am, you have a visitor.

Oh, what can I do for you, Gabriel?

You wanted to see me?

- Thanks, Alison.

- Excuse me.

I don't have much time.

I have a meeting in five minutes.

Don't worry,

I don't have much time either.

I have things to do, but

Nothing we didn't talk again

after what happened.

And things haven't been easy.

I don't know if Benito

talked to you or said something.

No, nothing. Anything else?

What do you?

So, he hasn't said anything?

You didn't say anything?

I haven't said anything yet.

I didn't tell you anything.

So, tell me.

Nothing. I just wanted to say

that before Alicia

She she told me something.

And I had tests done.

- Tests?

- Yes, tests.

What tests?

What happened?

Kranky!

No, Kranky.

What happened?

- How did it break?

- I don't know.

If anything happens

to my girl, I'll fire you all!

No, it can't be.

- Hello, Gallo!

- What are you doing here?

Why aren't you at school?

Did you tell her?

No, I was going to tell her now

- I don't want you to tell her.

- Okay, okay. I won't say a thing.

I want to know who my dad is.

I need you to help me find him.

Listen, buddy

Hey

I know how much this means to you,

but it's hard,

and to be honest,

I don't know where to begin.

I do. Here.

- What's this?

- My mom's cell phone.

- What do you want me to do with this?

- Check it. There must be a clue somewhere.

This is what the password looks like

It's like a triangle, like a house.

Let's see, hey

Don't you want me

to talk to your grandmother

and ask her? Perhaps she knows something.

- Hmm! It's embarrassing.

- Yes, I know, but I have

Listen, buddy, I have a complicated day,

and I have my own problems.

- You have problems?

- Yes, I have problems.

I don't have a dad or a mom.

That is a problem!

- It's breathing.

- Call the vet.

Oh, sweet little thing.

Tell me where it hurts.

- Leticia

- You did that?

Yes, and I can do worse things.

Give her celery

to help her de-stress. Celery!

Hi Alicia, I'm back in town.

I know it's been a long time,

but I want to see you.

I'm writing my memoir

and you're inevitably a part of them.

I keep thinking of your beautiful body,

your eyes, your hands.

I want you to help me find the words

to describe our encounters.

I know I owe you

and I'm willing to take responsibility

for my actions.

I love you.

Wow, that's an intense message, uh?

Yeah, right?

Okay, I brought some walkie-talkies.

- Uh-huh.

- So, we can split

and communicate. This is for me.

- This is yours.

- Whoa, pink ones!

Who gave them to you?

You gave them to me

when they took my tonsils out.

That's what I'm saying they're good ones.

They're I don't know, good quality.

- Do they have a good signal?

- I don't know.

I never tried them. I'll try them today.

- Okay.

- I'll be Chunky, and you're Slicey, okay?

Good memory, right?

Detective Chunky,

calling Detective Slicey over.

Slicey here.

You have to say "over."

- Over, over.

- Okay.

Hey, don't leave the park. Okay?

- Okay?

- Okay.

Can you turn it on?

Let's go.

10-4, 10-4, you copy, Slicey? Over.

Yeah, sorry.

Mr. Chunky, 10-4. Copy

I don't think it's a good idea

to separate here in the park.

It's okay, Slicey, I'm fine.

Hey, can I ask you something? Over.

Ask away, Mr. Chunky.

Did you know that you weren't my dad

when I was born?

Over.

No! No, no! I didn't know!

Over.

So, why didn't we ever celebrate

Father's Day?

Over.

Buddy,

that's a US capitalist invention for kids.

Mr. Chunky, 10-4.

Benito?

Benito?

What's up, Benito? Where are you?

- Is it genuine?

- Mm-hmm!

Answer me.

Hey, buddy! What's going on?

Do you like it?

Yes.

Yes, yes, I have

Nothing, that's

That's his mom.

It's so nice to meet you!

You have her gaze.

- Sorry, sorry.

- Ah.

Federico Alcntara.

I painted her.

- Gallo.

- Gallo.

They call me "Gallo," I'm the

Come with me.

- I would love to show you something.

- Yes.

Honey!

Let's go.

- Excuse me.

- Go ahead.

Wow!

- Yikes!

- Amazing!

I thought Alicia was

the only one of her species, but

Sorry.

Federico

Nothing, Benito and I

Looking at the paintings, it's obvious

that you and Alicia had

a close relationship.

She was my muse.

I could paint her over and over again,

and every time she was

like a different person.

Your mommy had a very

complex beauty, son.

I'm sorry,

but I'm just very excited

that you're here.

No, it's okay.

You're pure light, Benito!

Damn it!

- You're pure light!

- Yes.

Yeah, he's pure, pure light.

- He's pure light.

- Yes.

Listen, Benito and I

Uh nothing, we want to know

Nothing Benito and I want to know if

You slept with my mom.

You brought the kid all the way here

to ask me if I slept with his mom?

- With my wife in the living room?

- No. Well kind of, yeah.

I want to make it very clear that Alicia

was only my inspiration,

my muse and nothing else, okay?

Is it clear?

Yes, nothing else.

This is disrespectful.

I'm angry.

The world is turning to sh*t

because of p*rn*graphy.

- Uh?

- Social media.

Because you're all

stuck to your cell phones.

You're k*lling the last neurons

you have left

by perverting them.

You're turning into robots!

Do you know what this rotten world needs?

- What?

- Art.

I've always been persecuted by the stigma

of my art being linked to perversion!

What do you see when you see a woman?

- What?

- Her body?

I don't, I see her essence.

I don't see naked women!

No, I don't!

Do you see a naked woman, kid?

- A naked woman?

- Hey, I'm sorry.

This is not a bed,

"chicken," this is a temple!

It's a temple! It's a temple!

- Run!

- The subject is not the father.

I repeat. The subject is not the father.

Copy.

CASA ALCNTARA ART GALLERY

Come on!

Come on!

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

The door

Hey, the door

Hey, hey, what's going on, Sony?

You open the door with one hand,

and you close it with both.

You open it and you're saying,

"I'm here, I'm here."

And you close it saying,

"You'll never see me again."

But guess what?

I'm back, but I'm leaving. Okay?

Ready, let's do it. Feel it! Come on!

Alicia was in the 2009 Master Class group.

What do you want to ask?

Buddy and I are going on a journey

through his mom's story,

and he wants to know more and more

Things like who she was with and all that.

Hmm. Yes, sure, I get it.

We heard a message, somewhat private

that you sent her and nothing

It caught my attention.

It said, "Hot, baby, hot."

"Haha."

What do you need to know?

Basically, what kind of relationship

you had with her.

We had a very, very good relationship.

She encouraged me to move forward

after my accident.

We were very close.

Alicia was the best thing

that happened to me.

I met her when I was at my peak.

For Broadway, on the pony, succeeding, uh.

But it turned and I was distracted.

I fell and broke both knees.

- Oh, wow.

- Yeah.

Turned where or what?

The pony

A pony turned and I fell,

and broke both knees.

Oh, sorry!

I thought it was a metaphor

Sorry, please continue.

Well, we spent a lot of time together.

She helped me a lot.

She encouraged me to give dancing lessons.

- Hmm!

- Yeah.

I never imagined it would be so amazing.

It's like building a legacy.

Passing on knowledge has no comparison.

Yes, passing on knowledge

has no comparison.

Now that you mention your legacy

That is, we want

Yes, I know what you want.

What we want, both of us.

- I know what you want.

- Oh, do you?

Yeah, ever since you walked in.

I saw it in

His gaze.

That flaring gaze.

The way he walks.

You and I are going to close the circle.

And I'm willing to pay the debt

I have with his mom.

We'll begin a children's course

at the end of the month.

We would love you to join.

It's so nice, so nice

to see someone starting out in dancing.

And if you want to bring someone,

we'll obviously do it two for one.

Yeah, we're searching for something else.

- Nothing, we just want

- Come on, Gallo, he's told us.

I'm talking to him

- Thank you.

- He's got the enthusiasm.

- Yes.

- I can see it in his gaze,

he's got the enthusiasm, he's got it.

Hey

He's not my dad.

Listen, Chunky,

we must be more professional.

I get that there are things

that don't add up.

But we have to bring it down a notch.

I don't want a dad that fell off a pony.

Not even you have ever fallen off a pony.

Yes, I know, but parents

You don't pick them, you just get them.

Can we search for this one

who's hugging her?

Let's see.

What?

Erik Rubn, the singer, isn't your dad.

- Why not?

- He's going bald, look at him.

I'm going bald.

You can't be going bald!

You're ten years old.

Listen, buddy,

I understand you're going through

a hard time. Okay?

But it will pass.

I'll tell you something people say.

They say that when your head is sad,

hair goes on vacation.

So, our duty now is to make the head smile

so that hair grows back. And that's it!

And tomorrow, we'll go and look

for Erik Rubn. Deal?

- Okay.

- You like the idea?

- Yes.

- Give me five.

Oh, give me a good one.

What was that?

How do you know Erik will be here?

He was recording a show in that studio,

so, I'm going to try and enter.

You stay here.

If you see him come, you warn me.

- Uh-huh!

- Okay.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

Imagine if I let people in

without an appointment.

- You get it? I can't do that.

- I get it.

But perhaps I don't need

to be on that list.

We're friends. We arranged to meet.

- Why didn't you meet elsewhere?

- I'm not a fan, I'm a producer.

- Gabriel Gaitn, does it ring a bell?

- Sir, your ID looks fake.

Detective Chunky calling Detective Slicey.

- Our subject is approaching in an SUV.

- Copy.

Thanks

for nothing.

See to that, please. Thanks.

Erik!

- Erik.

- What's up, bro?

- Hey, my man!

- Hello, I'm running late.

- I need to talk to you for a second.

- Back off.

- It's important.

- Live show, sorry.

Hey, back off! You can't enter.

Back off!

- Erik!

- You can't enter!

My phone, you idiot! You stepped on it.

What?

Back off.

What? No!

Don't worry, buddy. We'll figure it out.

- Okay?

- Okay.

But the man said it was ruined.

I know it's not the same.

But what do we have in that bag?

What's inside?

A phone with lots of storage

to download all the games you want.

Besides, what do I work for?

To cover all your needs.

I'm going to give you my cellphone.

No, I'm not giving it to you.

It has no battery.

I'll get you AirPods.

Now I don't have anything

to remember her by.

Listen.

We'll see about that.

Hot Pizzas, good evening.

Hi, I'd like to order a pizza.

We have the season special

with spinach and cold cuts

With pepperoni.

- With pepperoni, please.

- Okay.

And double cheese.

Yeah, and double cheese.

Good choice.

- Please hold in line.

- Hey.

Go take your shower.

- Are you paying cash?

- Yes.

- Home delivery?

- Yes.

I'll transfer you to get your information.

What's that?

- No way.

- What? Look.

Let's see.

Who is it?

- Me.

- How old, more or less?

- Three?

- A bit more.

- Three and a half?

- Exactly.

I want to show you this one.

Let's test your memory.

What happened that day?

I got my new bike.

I got some ugly bumps.

Exactly!

- Let's see.

- It was so cool.

Wait.

Excuse me.

- Hello?

- Gallo, what's going on?

I've been calling you.

- My phone battery died.

- I was worried!

I told you, I ran out of battery.

- Bring Benito over. It's a school night.

- Okay, thanks.

Your grandmother.

Come on. Hurry up.

Your grandmother is a neurotic.

She won't listen.

What's up, Gaby?

Hey, just to let you know

we're moving you to another set.

What did you say?

Yes, we're changing sets.

Do you think that's funny?

No, I'm not laughing.

I think it's funny to be

the last person to hear about this, okay?

I'm just letting you know.

Don't forget that you work for me.

- Okay, which set?

- That's irrelevant.

Can't I know which set?

- Relax, Gallo.

- I'm relaxed.

- Hey, don't yell at me. Calm down.

- I'm not I am

- I have to go.

- Gaby!

Gaby!

I'm kind of swamped

and I'll have a hectic day.

We'll talk to Diana about it.

What if you asked her?

But without her knowing.

They're watery.

- Two unicorn milkshakes?

- Yes, thanks.

- Very kind of you.

- It looks good.

- Hi!

- Hctor!

- It's so good to see you!

- How are you?

- It's been a while. How are you?

- I was just passing by.

What a surprise! Have a seat.

- Have a seat.

- Thanks.

Sorry, this is Hctor, a good friend.

Hctor, Diana. Diana, Hctor.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You feel relaxed.

Very relaxed.

Your muscles begin to feel

profoundly lethargic.

Let me in

and let my voice guide you

to the

Deep

What the hell? He was about to touch me!

- He was going to touch me. Why?

- I'm sorry, Diana.

Gallo, if she doesn't cooperate,

I can't do it.

- He tried to poke my eyes.

- Calm down.

Hctor, please.

This won't do.

- I'm sorry.

- I can't work like this.

What do you mean you can't work like this?

You're cursing me. Don't look at me.

Look at him.

Can you explain this?

- Sorry.

- Are you kidding me?

I apologize. I hired him

because things are complicated.

- Benito and I

- Do you know who my dad is?

You're joking, right?

Stop this, Gallo.

Alicia confessed it before the accident.

I had the test done and yes, it's true.

The DNA test was negative.

He's not your son?

I swear that Alicia didn't tell me.

No, no, she never told me.

Well, imagine how I feel.

And how Benito feels.

- Gallo, I don't know

- We need your help.

The last thing we had

was Alicia's cell phone,

which I dropped and got smashed.

There was the last evidence.

Okay.

I'm going to think about it.

And you brought that man for this?

- You made him do this

- I'm sorry.

- He almost poked my eye.

- I'm sorry. Apologize.

- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

No, you truly went overboard.

You're so uncreative, both of you.

How did you expect me to know?

- Good night.

- Yes?

Gabriel Gaitn?

What's this?

I'm just the delivery guy.

This is not any kind of reconciliation.

My wife forced me to do it,

and Alicia would've liked

her son to have it.

Sincerely, Federico.

VOICE MESSAGE

I don't know what's going on with you,

but you're neglecting your work.

You should evaluate your priorities.

Do you believe he wanted to hurt you?

No, to be honest, I don't know.

There are evil people in the world.

I can't speak for him, but

He's talking about me.

However, nothing justifies the harassment.

The harassment?

What did you do, Gallo?

No, I just approached him and I

What can I say, bro?

If you're watching, go to therapy,

life can be better.

I forgive you.

Thanks!

Sorry, but it's not just anything

that he's forgiving you, uh?

To be honest.

- Coffee?

- Oh, no. Water.

- Tea, have some tea

- Water.

This tea will align your chakras.

- Something like that, I can't remember.

- Water is fine.

- Just water? Sure?

- Yes.

Well, I called because

I was going over it

again and again and again

And I believe I know who the dad is.

Who?

- The psychologist.

- The psychologist?

Alicia's psychologist.

Are you saying that Alicia

was involved with her psychologist?

I'm saying that the psychologist

gets involved with all his patients.

That's great.

Great work ethics,

the psychologist

sleeping with his patients.

Sorry.

So

So

Hmm if it's not him,

he should know,

because Alicia told him everything.

But this disgusting manipulator

moved to Tepoztln, I don't know when.

Thank God, I don't have to see

his stupid face.

No, you do have to see his stupid face

because you must find out what he knows.

No, I'm sorry, we need to

find out what he knows.

No, listen, no, hmm

This isn't easy, Diana.

I've got the kid, I've got work.

I can't not go to work.

I have to be there.

And nothing, perhaps

Nothing, perhaps I have to

let go and have a

A feminine figure to help me out, to

To

let go, to help me out.

No, I get it. I get it. I really do.

I didn't know it was being so hard.

- No, yes.

- I see.

Pato,

Do you find math easy?

- No.

- No, right?

- No.

- What about you?

- No.

- Hmm.

And if it's not easy,

why don't you send me,

for example, to school to take your exams?

Why don't I do your homework?

Why don't I go to Tepoztln

and you pay me for it?

And you can forget about it.

Because life gave me math

to solve problems,

Diana, not to run away from them.

If I'm wrong, correct me.

No, you're not wrong.

- Do you want some coffee?

- No sugar. Thanks.

Shall we go to Tepoztln?

- Thanks.

- Let's go to Tepoztln.

So, what are you

going to say to him or what?

The truth.

Or what do you want to say?

I don't know. Psychologists are not meant

to reveal their patients' secrets.

Hey, what if we use mentalism?

- What?

- Mentalism.

If you touch your mouth

and then your heart,

you're sending him a message

asking to say the whole truth.

- Oh, wow.

- Mouth-heart?

How?

Okay, let's try it or what?

It's like a weird sect, but you can say

Well I want to see you there.

- Hello.

- "Hello."

"Who's my son's dad?"

- And what's in Tepoztln?

- What?

What's in Tepoztln? I don't remember.

- In Tepoztln there are

- Hippies.

- Hippies.

- Lots of them.

The Tepozteco site.

Some people claim

to have seen UFOs up there.

- Says who?

- No, they do exist.

Yes, I saw one at eleven.

When I was

- Why are you laughing?

- No, no.

- For real.

- Yes?

I want to go too.

If you don't believe,

you don't want to go.

- Okay.

- On three. One, two, three.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Okay, okay, okay. Excursion?

- For real?

- Yeah.

Long live the party

Long live the party

Long live the party

And UFOs

WELCOME TO TEPOZTLN

- Wait.

- What?

No, too late.

- Hi! What's up?

- Hello.

Uh is Canek here?

We have a few questions to ask him.

Oh, no, impossible.

He's meditating and he actually asked me

that nobody bothered him.

Meditating? At this time?

Yeah, okay, whatever. Listen

We've come a long way.

We've come from Mexico City and wanted

to ask him about a former patient.

Her name is Alicia Ugalde.

- Ali? Who?

- Alicia Ugalde.

No idea, to be honest.

It's not something

we can discuss at the doorstep.

I don't know if

Perhaps if you

Open the door and let us talk

to him for five minutes.

- It's working.

- Oh, no, that's embarrassing.

Sorry, listen

What we want to know is

if he slept with Alicia,

because he always has

quite intimate relationships

with all of his patients,

so perhaps he's the dad.

- Well

- So, that's why we want to talk to him.

Why do you say

he has sex with all of his patients?

Uh? Doesn't he?

Oh, no, no, I'm not his patient.

Oh, no? Oh, sorry.

- What? Who are you?

- I'm his psychologist.

Oh, I see, I see.

Since you're wearing his shirt.

That's why.

- Is that?

- I'm sorry, uh?

The problem is not with you.

- No, you can't come in.

- I'm sorry, I can.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

Ouch!

Line up your chakras.

I know who your dad is, Benito.

His name is Enrique Vega.

And he is none other than

the owner of the agency "Happiness."

We can go and relax

because here it stinks of copal.

Please!

Well, what is copal?

- Is that a UFO?

- What?

That.

- It's a bird.

- Where?

- There.

- There.

Okay, so if it was, what would you ask?

What's your name?

I don't think they speak good Spanish.

How did Carmen Salinas invite them?

They were all actors.

They dressed them as aliens,

but they were all actors.

- All of them?

- Not all of them.

That can't be, that's not true.

What about the one that that

"as*h*le, my hair, you idiot."

That's not it's not true.

In case you were wondering,

the werewolf too.

That's not true.

Yeah, I swear.

The only real thing, buddy,

are the feelings

produced by the stories we tell.

Uh?

In the end we all realize

that we're human beings. Hmm?

Tell us one.

- One what?

- A story.

- But, what about?

- You know a ton.

We're talking about things.

- I have one. I have a friend.

- Let's see.

A life-long friend

who only walked backwards.

- Why?

- I swear to God, he walked backwards.

How?

- Why?

- I don't know, he stood up, and

Ask me something, anything.

- What's your name?

- My name is Javo.

Another question.

- How old are you?

- I'm 37 years old.

Last question, okay?

What is the square root of 91?

He's getting back at you.

I haven't taught him anything like that.

What's going to happen tomorrow?

We're going to see the aliens.

No, leave it, leave it.

Are you sure?

I want to see the mountains

and the UFOs tomorrow morning.

Where's your friend now?

My friend?

He went on a trip and didn't come back.

I'll be out here if you need anything.

Okay?

Sleep well, buddy.

- He's asleep.

- Do you want some wine?

I believe "no" will never be

the answer to that question.

- Oh!

- Yes or no?

- Yes, I do.

- You never go straight to the point.

No, yes.

That's enough.

That's it, a little bit more.

- That's it, thanks.

- Geez!

That's it, thanks.

When I was a girl,

I always wanted some of these.

- Yes, they're

- Yes.

They're called Slicey and Chunky.

They're our alter egos.

- Cheers to those alter egos.

- Cheers.

Let me say one thing.

After this expedition,

I want my own walkie-talkie.

With a fancy name and all that.

- Like what?

- I don't know. You tell me.

You came up with them.

How did you think of them?

Those names sound

No, they're not

When Benito was young,

I made him some walkie-talkies

using cans of "Slicey" tomatoes,

and "Chunky" chunks of

Mushrooms.

- Great.

- I can't remember.

He loved them and

So everywhere he went,

he took Slicey and Chunky.

Can I ask you a question?

Like what?

Why did you distance yourself from Benito?

Geez.

Okay, first, I believe

it had a lot to do with the divorce.

And then, also the financial pressure.

And what else?

Alicia always tried

to talk to me about this and

To me, it just happened.

Sometimes I think that

I don't know. Perhaps Alicia

didn't find what she wanted in me.

- Maybe she found it in that agency guy.

- "Happiness."

I don't think so.

I don't know how but

I understand why you distanced yourself.

Not feeling is easier.

You believed your absence

would be better, and that hurt Alicia.

I don't know.

She never told me

why she left that agency.

Now I understand.

It was weird every time

she mentioned "Happiness."

For example,

she told me once about a party,

how it felt weird and uncomfortable.

- It's clear she was avoiding

- The party!

- What party?

- The party.

The party! Enrique will be there.

- Or

- Gallo, we've got it!

We need to find out

where the party is. Right, let's

- Everything okay?

- Yes, I need to take this.

- Excuse me.

- Sure, go ahead.

- Hello?

- Hello, Gaby, what's up?

I got the rights for Celebrities Sentosha.

It's a Japanese reality show.

It'll replace The Best Thing in the World.

Come again?

I'm canceling your show.

My legal team will contact you.

- Good morning!

- Good morning.

- There's coffee.

- I have a hectic morning.

I'm off to Miami.

- What?

- I have a big meeting this afternoon.

We're going to El Tepozteco.

Benito is getting ready

It might be my last chance. And I don't

I don't get it. You don't what?

- We're about to find him, right?

- Who?

His dad. I believe his real dad

can take him some other

He's your

Beni.

- I'm sorry.

- Benito, you and I can go. Don't wo...

sh*t!

I'm sorry. I'm swamped.

I want to leave you the car so

You're leaving?

If the situation was different,

perhaps, I don't know

My show has just been canceled,

and I have to get a job.

Do whatever you have to do, Gallo.

- I have to

- Do whatever you have to do.

Thanks.

Hello.

Hello. I left Benito with his grandmother.

I hope you have a great flight to Miami,

and that you get the job.

We'll start boarding flight 702 to Miami.

Passengers from group one please show up

at gate number 6.

In a few minutes we'll call passengers

- from groups two and three.

- Hey!

No!

The one and only Gallo Gaitn.

What's up, Javo?

- How are you? Good to see you.

- Likewise.

It's been so long. Is everything okay?

- Everything's okay. You?

- Good.

- Good, good.

- Wow!

- Nice look.

- Miami, baby.

- Oh. Do you live there?

- Yes, with my family.

Oh, good.

- Are you okay?

- I'm okay, okay.

This is funny!

I swear, I swear.

Yesterday, only yesterday,

I was talking about you with

Nah! With some friends.

Oh!

"Jam ceque qui pieque."

- What?

- Things happen for a reason.

Hey, do you still do that walking

- backwards thing?

- No, I quit that.

Along with other things.

- Wow!

- But

I learnt a great deal from that, uh?

I learnt a lot.

- Oh, yes.

- Yeah, it's mind-blowing.

It's a journey.

You realize you're always

waiting for what's next. What's next?

The Kunene tribe says so.

We're always looking to move forward.

But when it comes to that

you must step back

And look at what was already there.

It's mind-blowing!

You realize that

almost always, what you want the most

you already have.

It's so revealing.

We're boarding

flight 702 to Miami.

Passengers, please show up

at gate number 6.

We're boarding

flight 702 to Miami.

Passengers, please show up

at gate number 6.

Gallo?

Are you okay, dude?

Thanks.

Oh! I'm glad I saw you.

Benito doesn't want to see you.

Listen, Elena. I wanted to tell you.

Understood.

See you, Gabriel.

And take care, you don't look well.

Not bad.

Terribly.

Great tacos. Store bought?

So you're a big eater just like me.

- Very good.

Help yourselves.

There's enough for an army.

Honey,

she fell asleep.

My wife and daughter.

I'll introduce you later.

Make yourselves at home.

- Thanks.

- Benito.

He said, "Make yourselves at home."

Wake up.

It hasn't been long.

There it is!

He seems a well-rounded guy, right?

He has a daughter.

Why would he want another kid?

Once he gets to know you,

he'll love you best.

Yes.

Traveling.

I love it. I love to travel.

Well, who doesn't?

Yes, it's very gratifying.

Yes, for sure.

What's up, Benito? You're getting bored

in this adults' party, right?

Let me take you to a place you'll love.

You'll see. Can he come?

Yeah.

Come on. You'll see.

What do you think?

Look at this beauty.

It's the first Nintendo console.

- Really?

- It works perfectly. Yes, it does.

- Do you have a PlayStation 5?

- Yes, sure. I love it.

But I don't have anyone to play with.

You know, playing online

is not the same, right?

No, it's not the same.

Did you know Alicia Ugalde?

She's my mom.

Your mom?

I couldn't attend the funeral,

I'm so sorry.

I was out of the country when it happened.

We were all very sad

when she left the agency.

She made me

happy.

It made me happy to know a woman

like your mom existed in the world.

She was very special.

Why did you ask

if I knew her?

Benito said that

He told me he likes a girl.

From school?

From school?

He didn't say anything to me.

No, I don't know.

Ricky seems super cool, right?

You'll be able to see Beni, talk to him

- Yes.

- Right?

Yes, for sure.

It's okay to feel something.

To feel

Isn't a bad thing.

Yes.

Yes, it's okay.

I don't know if I should

Want me to stay?

Don't worry.

Tell him that I'll call him later.

Thanks,

for everything.
