01x04 - I'm Going to Survive

[bunniefuu]

Will you marry me?

[cutlery crashes]

[suspenseful music plays]

We're waiting for an answer.

Aren't we, Eloísa?

[suspenseful music builds]

I accept.

[gasps]

[thunder claps]

We must hold the wedding at once.

- Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

A storm is coming.

Mercury retrograde begins

in a couple of days.

Your mother's right, darling.

Getting married while Mercury

is in retrograde is an awful idea.

What about love?

It'll come.

Or not.

[thunder rumbles]

[gulps]

To the bride and groom.

To them!

[narrator] Faced with

the impending wedding,

Eloísa went to get answers

from the only person in town

who could help her.

[man] Get away from the windows!

[man 1] Take shelter in your homes!

Where did you get that?

I stole it.

- I have

- Nausea?

Dizziness?

Evil within?

No.

Make yourself puke.

I have a bad feeling.

Hush.

[ominous music plays]

[mumbling] Give it here.

[gurgling]

[moans]

Commander! They're retreating! We won!

Well done, Diego. Good job.

You did it.

You became a real man.

Masculinity is a social construct.

What's wrong?

I've always liked this pendant.

It's a very special amulet.

- [expl*si*n]

- [screams]

We're under attack! Man your posts!

Diego, you forgot your amulet!

[grunts]

- [groans]

- [explosions echo]

[groans, panting]

I told Diego the amulet would protect him

from enemy soldiers,

but not from traitors.

No one may touch this amulet now,

or they'll encounter darkness.

- Listen to me, Eloísa.

- Okay.

No one can ever touch the amulet again,

not in this life or any other f*cking one.

- Is that clear?

- Yes.

Not in this life

or any other f*cking one. Okay.

- That's right.

- Okay.

Now go. Soledad's swearing her love

to Froilán tomorrow.

- Go on, scram. Now.

- All right.

[mumbles]

[narrator] That night,

the witch got rid of the amulet,

never imagining

that hundreds of years later,

Simona would get it back

and give it to the reincarnation

of the dreadful Commander Froilán.

[barks]

Hello, I'm calling

to request a service.

Right now.

Please, ma'am.

I know perfectly well

that the gigolo is free.

Fine.

If he won't see me,

I'll have no choice but to call the police

and report you for being a pimp.

Très bien.

Room 305. In one hour.

A gigolo?

That's right.

The man threatening your relationship

is the town's prost*tute.

Aren't you going to defend your honor?

[inhales]

- [dial tone]

- indistinct chatter]

- Candela.

- Finally.

Dangerous client. In your room.

Candela, I'm sorry. I'm done.

- She's threatening to call the police.

- I don't care.

We'll all be in trouble

if you don't do this.

Even your mother.

Come on, Maxi. Please.

I promise I'll fix all this.

Fine, but it's the last time.

Thanks. Don't be long.

[thunder rumbling]

[car door creaks]

[thunder claps]

Men are the worst.

Seriously. The absolute worst.

I think he still sees me

as the shy laundry girl.

With this scar, which filled

my childhood with insecurities.

Oh, now the scar.

I insulted him too.

I interfered in his life.

But he just doesn't get it.

He doesn't get

that I finally found my calling.

- Your destiny?

- Right.

An environmentalist.

Environmentalist?

Aren't you the one

who kidnapped the dragon last year?

Only Maxi stood up for me.

Until today, that is.

You two have to make up

and release the dragon.

Right? No animal deserves

to be held in captivity.

No, it's not that.

You have to see how unfair it is

that everyone here is unhappy.

Well, to be honest,

I'm not exactly unhappy.

Never having been in love

is another matter.

It's true that I haven't, but whatever.

I don't think love

is conditional on finding a partner.

Did I ask you, sir?

Huh? No.

[talk radio playing]

Break the spell, okay?

Yeah, of course.

I'll get out here.

BLUE DRAGON

- Did you have any luck?

- No.

- You?

- No.

He was seen going to the lake with Juana.

Mamen, I'm going back to the hotel

because I need to see my daughter.

- You don't think Goya

- Is the one who fell off the balcony?

No, don't say that.

Lola, that woman didn't fall. She jumped.

Besides, don't worry,

Goya doesn't have keys to the rooms.

Or does she?

No.

Why would she?

Exactly. Why indeed?

I'm going back anyway, Mamen,

because I need to talk to her, and

this is all very weird.

[applause]

The legend is true.

I don't know what you're on,

but it's just a made-up tale

that many folks now think is real,

like the Bible.

No. You have to accept who you are.

You're Soledad's reincarnation.

Only you and Maxi can redeem me.

I'm no princess.

Don't be a princess, then. Be a witch.

I'm not a princess or a witch.

I'm an environmentalist!

Break the f*cking spell, okay?

If Maxi releases the dragon

with the wrong person,

this town will lose its last chance

to find love again, and everything else.

I do love Maxi,

but I'm not in love with him.

I'm not reincarnating again, understood?

I shouldn't have come back.

Listen, hundreds of years have passed

so you two could meet again.

Get back here!

I'd rather not go in together.

All right.

Nothing will be the same

after tonight, I promise.

Maxi

I know you're here with someone.

I get this must be hard for you.

I'm getting married.

Yes.

- If you want to, we can get married.

- No, I am.

But not to you.

I'm sorry.

- I didn't think this would happen again.

- What?

- My life's going in a different direction.

- You felt our chemistry. Sparks flew.

I've always been multiorgasmic.

It's not just the tale. What happened

at the lake was indescribable.

Really, it's the strangest thing.

I'm like a waterfall.

I'm in love with you.

We've only seen each other three times.

Romeo and Juliet's relationship

lasted three days.

- And they got married.

- Sure, and look how it ended.

Really, if he weren't in my life,

I wouldn't have doubts.

Maxi, my boy, are you okay?

Where's Goya? Have you seen Goya?

No.

- I'm worried something happened to her.

- Don't worry. I'm sure she's

What?

- The dragon.

- What?

No, Goya, not now!

- Not now.

- Again with that damn dragon.

- Goya!

- What happened to Goya?

[Lola shouts] Goya!

Antonio?

[bang]

Goya?

Why didn't I think it could've been Goya?

She was looking for the dragon.

I saw her this afternoon.

- Are you lying to reassure me?

- No.

Someone else fell, then?

Yeah.

What a relief.

Oh God!

What's this, Lola?

You won't believe this.

Antonio's having a baby.

Antonio?

Antonio. Juana's husband.

Well, not her husband.

He's Edurne's husband.

Edurne was Antonio's mistress

when he was dating Juana.

But he got her pregnant.

Juana?

- Edurne.

- Juana is here with Antonio.

Exactly. And get this.

Juana is now Antonio's mistress.

Antonio married Edurne

out of Catholic guilt.

- But he's in love with Juana.

- Exactly. He never stopped loving her.

But he also loves his kid.

And now he's having another one.

The outlook doesn't look great.

I'm a bit confused.

I don't think I explained it very well.

Basically, Antonio is fertile, okay?

I have all the eagerness of youth ♪

But I am scared, just like you ♪

And as each day breaks

I crumble as I face my f*cking reality ♪

Absolutely nobody ♪

Is more fragile than me ♪

I have to survive ♪

By lying to myself ♪

I know who I am. I've always known.

Living with this has been hell for me too.

I've thought about this,

and I won't sacrifice myself.

I don't love him, and I'll never love him

as anything more than a friend.

You could try.

You could've tried to be less shitty

in your past life and not cast this spell.

If Diego and Soledad were really in love,

they would've done things differently.

They would've fought.

You have no idea.

Things were different back then.

For you to be here

acting all high and mighty

with the right to choose,

people had to go out and fight.

If you don't like what they did

or think it wasn't enough,

that just sums you up.

Hi there.

Can I get a beer, please?

I saw you come into the bar,

and I wanted to say hi and

thank you for the tour.

Well, for every tour.

I've been on quite a few of them.

- Sure.

- Yeah, right?

I'm fascinated by the tale.

I especially love hearing you tell it.

- Thanks.

- I really like your voice.

I especially like

the part about the chandelier.

I don't know why,

but it makes me think of love.

Because it's really nice. I don't know.

Well, nice until it comes crashing down.

Is it true that the chandelier

k*lled the princess?

Or is it just because

you wanted to make the tale better?

I've lived here for years,

and I've always wondered.

It's true.

The chandelier fell on her face.

That's why there have been

so many different versions of her face.

So that's the reason.

Yeah.

I love hearing it from you.

Thanks.

Especially now that I'm leaving town.

Where are you going?

Away on a trip, after the parade.

You never told me what you do.

If you

I don't know.

- Veterinarian.

- Yeah.

Do you have any pets?

No, I don't like animals.

There you are.

You're getting released tomorrow.

I'm going to miss you, little one.

What will become of us now?

- [bells rings]

- Mamen!

Why are you here, Goya?

- I'm taking the dragon.

- Yeah, right.

- Yes.

- Get it straight.

The dragon isn't your destiny.

It's Maxi and Juana's destiny.

Or rather, Diego and Soledad's.

You folks are all crazy, seriously!

You're the crazy one

for refusing to see the tale is real.

What happened to your leg?

No, don't tell me.

Go tell your mother. She's worried sick.

Oh, sweetie!

I was worried sick. What happened?

- I'm sorry.

- I knew something had happened to you.

Yes, I fell, but that's not why I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing, then?

I know you're hoping

the lovers will break the curse.

But that's not happening.

Oh, sweetie.

I just want you to be free.

And happy, all right?

One day, you'll understand

the curse over this town.

There's no way out.

[ominous music plays]

Evil is coming.

And it's my fault.

It's my fault.

[thunder rumbling]

Maxi, why are you here?

- To show you something, but never mind.

- What's that?

- I was wrong, Juana. This isn't the way.

- What is it?

I'm having another baby.

I'm so sorry, Juana.

That's why I left.

Because I thought you'd leave me.

But I'm done lying.

Can we please go inside and talk?

I'm sorry, I need to be alone.

Where are you going with that balloon?

You and I had an appointment

in another room.

I've been waiting for you.

Dangerous client.

Stop!

[dramatic music plays]

You disgust me.

I can't believe it.

My fiancée traipsing around

with this f*cking hick,

who sells his body

to buy clothes three sizes too small

in order to seduce women

because it's all he can do.

You're so vulgar!

You're a macho cliché

What the hell

is going on here, you as*h*le?

[screams]

Why are you here, Candela?

- Isn't it a bit late for tours?

- I'm not here for that.

Isn't it a bit late for anything?

Convince me it's true.

Oh, Candela. I can't and I won't.

I'm starting to think

we've all lost our minds

and you're the only sane one.

Mamen, I want to feel too.

My stomach could be a sanctuary,

but my butterflies are dead.

Your butterflies?

Come here. I'll show you mine.

[bell rings]

Look.

We're ruined, Candela.

- What are we gonna do?

- About what?

If we release the dragon, what then?

What do I know?

You can't avoid the inevitable.
