[lively music playing]

[Alice] Air pressure, maybe?

[laughs] Alice, please.

This tire is flat as a pancake.

-Ugh! Just what we needed.
-Oh! Jesus Christ almighty.

[Alice] Seriously.

[Susana grunts] Let's see.

Jeez, Alice. What's all this junk?

-Oh God.
-[music fades]

Wait, is this where you keep
your stewardess costume?

Oh, flight attendant,
and it's not a costume. It's a real one.

[Susana] Okay, well,
I'm sure you have a jack in here, right?

I don't know.
You're lucky if you can find a spare.

I mean, I've never changed a tire before.

I know. Call your insurance.

With the phone we left at home?

-Everything's great!
-Oh sh*t.

-Just great.
-Hey, what time is it?

Oh, it's 11:30.

We're gonna have to spend New Year's here

because nobody's gonna use this road today
other than the two of us.

[Alice] Unbelievable.

[both groan]

There's gotta be some…

[gasps, exclaims]

You're such a little baddie.
Look at what I found!

And look, I found gummies.
You can eat the gummies.

And I, darling friend, cheers!

Mmm.

Better than nothing.

[lively music resumes]

JUST ALICE

EPISODE 15
NEW YEAR, NEW LIFE

[automated voice]
Please leave your message after the tone.

What's the matter?

Alice won't pick up.

Oh.

What did she do now?

Nothing. It was me.

And what did you do?

MEDICATION
PAUSE

[alarm beeping]

It's time for your pill.

[Eliseo groans]

Come on.

Ah, no.

Pablo, I know I promised

not to meddle in your relationship again.

But you're about to become a father, son.

[emotional music playing]

And that baby on the way

is going to need a family
the way God intended.

Talk your problems through
together with Alice, son.

Try to solve them.

[music fades]

[lively music playing]

[Laura] I told you
this was gonna be awesome.

And to think we almost stayed at home.

[laughs]

-I'm hoping to find my future sperm donor.
-Oh wow!

[Laura] What's up?

-What are you doing here?
-[Laura] Why? Are you surprised?

-Mm.
-Come on. Let's dance.

Oh, wait, I'm out of beer.
I think I'm gonna go for another one.

What's the matter, bro?

You're not bailing
on this smoke show, are you?

You better not.

No one's bailing on anyone.
I'm getting a beer for the pretty lady.

Yeah, all right.

-Be right back. Okay?
-Okay. I'll be here.

[man 1] Don't take too long.

-[mother] Tasty. Huh?
-[Alejo] Hmm?

[both] Yes.

Mm. I'm gonna go get my phone.

-What?
-What?

-What's the matter with you?
-What's the matter?

I saw her making out with the pr…
with that Guevara guy.

He's her lover.

Can you imagine all the lies?
I mean, what I've found out?

You, you're friends with, uh, the brother.
Guevara's brother, right?

I mean, you spend a lot of time there.

[intriguing music playing]

When I introduced both of you…

-I already knew her, which is why I left.
-Why didn't you say anything?

Because she had to tell you herself.

Awesome. You're on her side, then.

I'm not, and she wasn't
the only one keeping secrets.

I don't understand
why you're behaving this way.

I don't understand either.

-What's going on?
-Nothing. We were just preparing the…

-What?
-The toast.

Well, in fact, I'm gonna pop a bottle
because it's almost 12:00.

[Alejo clears throat]

-We… we celebrate very hard over here.
-[salsa music playing]

Yeah, no. I can tell.
I love how those girls dance.

-[Ernesto] Ooh, yes.
-Are they volunteers as well?

A few of them. Yes.

Oh. See, I have a friend, Alice.

She also volunteers here.

-I don't know if you know her. Do you?
-Of course. Of course.

-Oh, yeah?
-She spends all of her time here.

She… she's an absolute sweetheart.

-All of her time? No.
-Ernesto. We're out of ice.

-We'll be back.
-Jonathan, I'm gonna get ice.

-Last one, last one.
-Yeah.

-Thank you!
-[Ernesto] Yes. Yes.

All right, I'm gonna get on that table.

Ladies. [chuckles]

I would love to dance with you.

It's been so many years
since I've danced on a table.

Whoo!

[salsa music continues]

Wow, look at this arm.

Oh, yeah. I'm always carrying
heavy boxes around here.

I'm sure.

But you've got it going on too.

[both laugh]

Whoa. Hey.

It's almost twelve o'clock!

[Ernesto] Ready?

-I will see you soon.
-Samuel, Samuel.

[Carolina] It's time!

[Ernesto] Ready?

[all] Ten! Nine!

Eight!

Seven. Six…

Five

and four…

[both] Three, two, one…

[both] Happy New Year!

[both exclaim]

[Susana laughs]

Happy New Year, my son.

I want you to get better.

I'm gonna get better.

-You know I'm tough. [laughs]
-I know.

[vallenato music playing]

[Laura] This is our year!
No more crying over men!

-No!
-I wish you happiness!

Happiness! And I'm gonna act and be on TV!

Things will be better with Fran,
and his mother can f*ck off.

[both laugh, exclaim]

My life is sh*t.

Your life's not sh*t.
You really gotta stop saying that.

-Little bit.
-Your life is exciting.

Your life is distinct.

It's… your life is like a movie.
I never get bored with you.

Thank you for being here with me.
I love you.

I love you.

-[distant fireworks exploding]
-[sighs]

Alejo must be having the worst
New Year's of his life.

It's all my fault.

[romantic music playing]

Do you wanna know what happened with Ben?

You wanna talk about that?

[Alejo sighs]

That's why I didn't ask.

Do you regret kissing me?

You know I'm totally fine, right?

That's what I liked most
about the two of us, Alejo.

That we could come and go
as we pleased. No strings attached.

I don't know how I'm still talking to you
after that massive lie.

You should be grateful, Alejo.

Thanks to that lie, I saved your life.

Can you imagine yourself


Hmm?

You wouldn't have wanted him.

I don't wanna see you like this.
Please tell me how I can cheer you up.

-Hey.
-I don't know.

Dance with me?

[romantic music continues]

Forgive me. Please forgive me.

-No.
-I should probably go.

-I'm sorry.
-No. No, no, no.

Stop talking about Alejo
and how he must be having the worst time

because you'll make me think of Rita
and how she must be having an awful time.

[fireworks exploding]

Well, but if not Alejo,
I'm thinking of Pablo.

[Susana] Mm.

I cannot believe Pablo

would do something like that.

[Susana] Hmm.

Take off running,

knowing I was carrying his child.

[Pablo] Ali, I know that

I'm the very last person
you wanna talk to.

[melancholy music playing]

But not a single day has gone by
where I don't deeply regret what I did.

I know it was wrong.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
to earn your forgiveness.

I'm so very sorry for everything, and…

and I wish you a happy New Year.

To you, and, uh,

and our little one.

God, I can't believe you actually
dragged me out to the middle of nowhere

on December 31st of all nights.

And you keep talking
about Pablo and Alejo. [groans]

I can't focus on anything else.

I don't think Alejo will forgive me.

And I don't know if I'm gonna
forgive Pablo either, to be honest.

[Susana chuckles]

-What?
-[chuckles]

Fine!

-I know that I've made a few mistakes.
-[laughs]

-But they have as well. Su, come on.
-She actually said that out loud!

-No, stop it.
-[laughs]

Ah, God. Just promise me,
no matter what happens,

that tomorrow, come rain or shine,
we'll arrive in Cartagena.

-No matter what. Somehow.
-No matter what. We'll be there.

-Breezy and sunny.
-Perfect.

-That sounds good.
-Bathing suits.

Why don't you get drunk? I'll drive.

Great. Pleasure doing business. Thanks.

Cheers to you.

[tropical music playing]

[tense music playing]

[tropical music continues]

Come on. Take me somewhere private.

Or I'll take you.

[tropical music continues]

-[Samuel] Wait a minute.
-[laughs]

[kissing]

Uh…

-Wait a minute.
-What?

-Better over there, no?
-Okay.

[lively jaunty music playing]

I need a condom.
Wait, I gotta grab a condom.

Don't be long.

Oh, I want a selfie with you girls
as a memory.

[Carolina laughs]

FIVE MISSED CALLS
NEW VOICE MESSAGE

[Francisco] You told me
you were gonna be with Laura at her place

because she wasn't feeling well.

I just stopped by. There's nobody there.
Can you please tell me where you are?

[gasps]

Everything okay?

[Samuel] Uh-huh.

DEADLY SINS

MERRY CHRISTMAS
WHATEVER MAY BE.

[intriguing music playing]

I'm sorry. Can't find 'em anywhere.

-Where did this little book come from?
-Oh, yeah. I borrowed it.

Oh.

And who's Benjamín?

-Friend of mine.
-Ah.

But the book is signed
by the author and everything.

Yeah, uh, Ben is his son.

And, uh, how do you know Ben, his son?

Works at the foundation.

-Why?
-Hmm. No.

No reason. Just curious.

-Hmm. You are very curious.
-[giggles]

See, the problem is I was taught
that you shouldn't touch others' things.

-You know?
-[giggles]

Well, how about I show you others' things

that you can touch?

[Carolina] Laura!

-Lau!
-No, no, no.

Don't move.

Okay.

-Wait for me here?
-Yeah. Go.

[Laura] I won't be long.

[sighs, grunts]

Don't get too bored.

Okay.

[exhales sharply]

[exhales sharply]

You are never gonna guess
what I just found out.

Yeah?

Your brother's son is friends with Samuel.

[intriguing music playing]

Alice lied to both of us.

She said she was coming
to the foundation to volunteer,

but what she was doing
was finding out about Benjamín.

I don't know what Alice did here,

but it's totally obvious she lied to us.

Wait a minute. What did you find out?

Well, nothing. I didn't find out anything.

But I did talk to one of the guys
who's on staff here,

and, apparently, Alice comes all the time.

Okay, so where is this guy?

I need to interrogate him,
and I will find out exactly

what's going on here
and if Alice is really lying.

Okay, girl. Wait. My phone.

[phone ringing]

Lau…

INCOMING CALL

I abandoned my husband and my kids.
Do you think I'm the worst mom ever?

Are you kidding?

Girl, can't a mom go out
and have some fun?

-Enough. Take it easy. You're fine.
-We have to leave.

No, no, no. I am about on the verge
of finding out all the crap

that's happening here with Alice.

No, come on, girl.
I have to go. I'm serious.

-Lau, please. Come on.
-Okay. Yeah.

Hello?

Hey, what's up, brother?

-Hey, dude.
-I'm waiting for you.

Dude, this party is absolute madness.

Are you coming or what?

Uh, I won't make it.

I, uh…

-I'm with my mother.
-[sighs]

Aw, man.

That's too bad. Everything okay?

Call you tomorrow.

Benji, wait.

Happy New Year.

[sighs]

Happy New Year.

I'm off.

I mean, it's a bit late, Paula.

If you don't find a taxi,
why don't you sleep over?

Listen, this was nice.

Really nice.

But my taxi's on the way.

Well, just give me a sec.
I'll drive you if you want.

TAXI
YOUR CAR HAS ARRIVED

It's here.

I'll call you.

[uneasy music playing]

[Carolina] Hi.

Look who decided to show up.

[Carolina] Where are the kids?

It's midnight, Carolina.
Where do you think they are?

-They went to bed.
-Ah.

Where have you been?

Um, hon.
I said Laura and I were hanging out.

Uh, we went to eat.

And since Laura wasn't feeling well,
we just walked around the neighborhood.

I, believe it or not, had one drink.

You are piss drunk.

No, come here. Come here. Let's talk.

Look, Carolina.

How about we talk
when you're clearheaded? Okay?

Clearheaded?

Take a shower, and we'll talk tomorrow.

[lively tropical music playing]

Oh, Cartagena. Here we go!

Woo-hoo! We did it!

I can't believe
we're back in this mansion.

It's so beautiful.

Right? Brings back countless memories.

-Hmm. This house.
-Remember when I woke up there?

[laughs]

-With sunstroke?
-Wow. [laughs]

-When you woke up neon pink?
-[laughing]

-Come on. I couldn't forget that.
-I was so drunk.

-[laughs]
-Trashed.

How did you even get that drunk?

You bailed, went off with that Italian.
Who was it? You remember?

Oh, no, no, no.

-What was his name?
-No, no, no, no, no. Gianluca?

-Gianluca!
-Oh God!

I was in love.

-Always covered in baby oil.
-No.

Oh, I was so into him.

-Why didn't you stop me? It's your fault.
-Please, Miss New-Boyfriend-Every-Week.

What time's Dad coming home?

I gotta go get him later this afternoon.

How was last night?
You celebrate, or what?

Well, imagine being in a hospital
and toasting with water.

That's how it was.

Well, yeah, but at the very least,
you had Alice.

Alice wasn't there.

What do you mean? What happened?

We got in a fight.

-Pablo, come on.
-[melancholy music playing]

Come on. Why would you fight
now that she's pregnant?

Look, bro. I don't wanna talk about it.
Not right now.

Come on, bro. Let it out.

-Trust me.
-[scoffs]

Trust you?

Are you serious?

[scoffs]

Should be you trusting me.

Tell me what's happening. What's wrong?

[music fades]

Go ahead.

[inhales deeply]

-I just don't know how to tell you.
-What?

I'm ashamed, Pablo.

No. No, brother.

I'd be ashamed of stealing.

That's shameful.

But there's nothing wrong
with being attracted to a man.

Well, yeah. I'm attracted to him.

I like him a lot.

And we've been talking for a while now,
but the thing is…

-What?
-I'm not sure how to…

I don't feel like
I'm prepared for this, brother.

Is it fear?

[scoffs]

Fear. That's putting it lightly.
I'm scared outta my head, dude.

[gentle music playing]

He's not my boyfriend.

I can't say, "I saw you with a chick,
and it f*cked me up."

But you can tell him how you feel.

No. He's gonna think I'm toxic. No.

Speaking to those you love
and telling them how you feel isn't toxic.

It's honest.

Yeah, honest.
You're gonna lecture me on honesty, Mom?

Learn from my mistake,
and try not to repeat it.

Right. Come on.
We're gonna be late to La Candelaria.

Ben. Hey, Ben.

I don't need you to be my tour guide.

Go talk to Samuel.

All right.

But first, I gotta talk to Alejo.
I know he's pissed about what happened.

You can deal with Alejo another day.
You have to talk to your guy right now.

Trust me.

[Pablo] Listen.

If you like Benjamin, go for it.

I support you, but take a chance.

It's worth the leap, right?

Now, with time and experience,
you'll know what to do,

but for now, take a chance.

I know you'll do better than me.

What happened with Alice? Tell me.

I messed up.

I messed up real bad.

Fix it then. Yeah?

That's what I want,
but she… she won't see me,

won't talk to me, and

I get it.

[inhales deeply]

This really cool dude
once gave me some advice.

He said,

"Just take a chance."

-Trust me.
-[both chuckle]

You know, it's a shame you and Alejo
traveled internationally all these years,

while the entire time,
this gorgeous house was just sitting here.

Ah, all my trips with Alejo
have been wonderful and special.

To me, Cartagena is Pablo.

I could never bring Ale here.

-Thinking about him feels strange, Su.
-No.

-Why did we come here?
-Don't think about it.

We came here to stop thinking about it.

Don't forget
this house was your grandmother's.

How do you manage not to feel things?

I don't know. It's not really like that.

It's like when something's bothering me,
I prefer to push it aside, and that's it.

I envy you.

No, I'm the least enviable person
in the world.

No, I swear I do. You're…

You're more sensible than anyone I know.

[laughs]

You don't overload your relationships
with passion and emotion.

Seriously, how do you do that?

No, I envy you, Alice.

No, I'm a total disaster. What? No.

No, Ali, because you fall in love.

You devote yourself.
You jump off the balcony.

-Why is that good?
-It is!

You're a romantic.
You literally married two men.

I mean, I can only dream of being able
to… to give that to Rita. You know?

I mean, like…

What?

-No. No. Nothing.
-What?

You think she's been trying to call you?

I don't even wanna know.
Let's stop thinking.

-You're absolutely right.
-You know what I really want?

An ice-cold beer and to go dancing.

You've supported
every single stage of my life.

I love you, Su.

I love you too.

Because at least every time I turn around,

you're right there for me.

Five minutes.
Five minutes, and we're out the door.

-Uh…
-Yeah?

My entire family is waiting for me
so we can go to our country house.

The last thing I want
is to be here talking about work,

but we have an important matter
to resolve, so get on with it.

I'm gonna ask you a favor. Will you have
a glass of wine with me? Here, take it.

What?

Go ahead without me. Don't wait for me.

Alejo, I'm worried about you.

[Alejo] Hmm?

We're on the verge
of the editorial's event of the year.

We're launching your novel.
At this stage, I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to tell the directors.

The problem is the directors have no idea
what a creative process entails.

-But I do.
-Hmm.

And I'm also very confused.

At this point, you don't even have
the autobiography you promised me

or the novel based on the life of Guevara.

I'm not gonna write a line
about that fake priest,

even if there was a f*cking g*n
to my head. Okay?

[uneasy music playing]

What happened between the priest and you?

-I don't feel like talking about it now.
-Why not?

Because he's sleeping with Alice, Simón.

-[Ernesto] Calm down, please.
-[Pablo] Calm down.

Wait, wait. Calm down. Calm down.
One by one. One by one. What's wrong?

One at a time.

Haven't you seen the news, Pablo?
Look, for God's sake.

Before taking a break from the campaign,

candidate Marcelo Beltrán
and the mayor-elect

have reached the surprising decision
that, if Beltrán wins the presidency,

his first order of business will be
signing off on the Metro Line Two project.

No.

Listen up. We cannot allow this.
We have to get organized.

López, just stop for a minute.
Hey! Hey! All right?

-We are not going anywhere!
-Wait, wait.

-Nobody's gonna kick us out.
-We made a deal.

-Settle down. Calm down.
-[Ernesto] Yeah.

I already told you guys
that Pablo is taking care of this.

So you have a lawyer already, or what?

-Yes, I have a lawyer.
-[Ernesto] Yeah.

Now, come on. It's New Year's Day.
What are we doing here? What is this?

-Go be with your families, guys.
-Go and rest.

-Go and rest.
-How are we gonna rest, Pablo?

-This isn't how we operate.
-We haven't got time to rest.

There's no lawyer, is there?

Why don't you talk to the guy
Alejo got me for my permit?

I can give you Alejo's info
so that you can call him and ask.

That guy's the real deal.
I bet he'd even do it for nothing.

I can't even think about that.
All I can think about now is Alice.

Look, man, I'm gonna call Susana,
see if she's there.

Give me a hand with this. Okay?

Pardon me. Pardon me. Pardon me.

-Excuse me.
-[Benjamín] Pablo, everything all right?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

-No. No.
-Let's be serious.

Calm down.

What's the matter with your brother?

Uh, nothing.

Good to see you though. Yeah? Come on.

[López] Yeah. That's right.
We're gonna stay right here.

-Yeah, I know. It's really frustrating.
-We are not leaving.

We will continue to stand our ground
until they offer us real solutions!

[Francisco] How's the hangover?

I know what I did wasn't ideal.

-But don't be so hard on me, okay?
-[scoffs]

Don't be so hard on you, Carolina?

Don't pull that sh*t right now.

You're the only one
who's being hard on me and the kids.

-Can you explain what is going on?
-I don't know.

Well, maybe you should figure it out.
Just think of the kids.

Yeah! Yeah! You don't have to
make me feel worse than I already do.

I'm sorry, Carolina.

You're the one who left us stranded
on New Year's Eve. Me and the kids.

I already explained this to you.
My friend needed me.

We are your family.
Your family needed you too.

I know.

I feel confused, Fran.

About me?

All of it.

All of it.

[baby crying]

[tense music playing]

[knocking on door]

Ali, open up.

Can we please talk?

[tense music continues]

[sighs]

I missed you last night.

What's the matter?

You were being like this last night too.

I don't know. It's weird.

Did I do something?

Are you mad at me for something
you're not telling me?

Last night, I came to the party.

And I saw you, Samuel.
I saw you kissing a woman.

This is not a complaint. Okay?

But you and I…

There's something that I--

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Just let me explain.

Look, it's not necessary.

There's no need to explain.

We never talked about being exclusive
with each other.

But… I don't know. It f*cked me up, and…

I wanted to tell you.

Benji, that woman and I
didn't do anything.

In fact,

I didn't even wanna kiss her.

So why'd you do it?

'Cause of the guys here.

They were watching us, and, I mean…

I'm still not ready to tell everyone
how I feel about you.

[poignant piano music playing]

But I'm working on it.

In fact… [chuckles]

…I actually, uh, I told Pablo that…

What?

That you and I

are together.

Are you serious?

What'd he say?

That that's great.

He's there for me.

Always. No matter what.

All I'm asking is you try to be patient.

Please.

Listen to me.
What moral authority do you have?

Didn't you cheat with Paula
when you started dating?

Come on. That's a stupid comparison.
I wasn't married to her.

[laughs] Unless you're married,
it doesn't count if you cheat?

Very funny.
I'm not in the mood for cynicism.

-This isn't cynicism.
-Okay, so?

-It's the truth.
-Uh-huh.

[Paula] Hello.

Oh, I didn't know you were busy.
The doorman let me in.

No, no. It's all good. Sorry.

Simón, my friend and editor.
Paula, Ben's mother.

-Hi. How are you?
-Hello.

Pleasure to meet you.
I, uh… was on my way out, actually.

-But let me know?
-Yeah. We'll speak soon.

-Please respond. Don't ghost me.
-Yes.

-Yes.
-Mm-hmm.

Excuse me.

Come back for me.

Now.

Thanks.

You saved me from an interrogation.

Well, you owe me one.

Uh, do you know
the… the, uh, The Candelaria?

-No.
-Well, let's grab a bite.

-Let's.
-Yeah?

[Alejo] Let's go.

Alejo! [whistles]

[tense music playing]

Hey, brother. Happy New Year.

I'm sorry for coming here unannounced,
but, uh, I need to talk to you about--

There's nothing to talk about.
How dare you come here.

Not sure if you've seen the news.
My neighborhood is being evicted.

-I thought maybe--
-I don't know.

I don't know what you need,
and I'm not doing you any favors. Okay?

Okay?

Okay?

[Samuel] She left me a message.
You'll beat us next time, all right?

[Jonathan] You'll have to give us lessons.

[Laura] Samuel, what's up?
What a night, huh?

Anyway, I just wanted to call you

to… to say sorry for… for leaving
like a madwoman, but call me.

You gave her your number?

The boys were watching.

What was I supposed to do?

-[tense music playing]
-Benji, stop worrying.

[phone camera clicking]

[Samuel] It's all good.

Come on.

He went offline.

I should call him, right?

Better to call than some weird audio.

Yeah.

Caro.

[electronic music playing in distance]

Lau, I am totally brain-dead.

Oh no, baby.
Well, you better snap out of it

because you and I have to make a plan
for what we're gonna do

with what we just found out.

Do about what?

This is like a little secret.

Like almost… almost as if Alice
didn't want either of us,

her best friends, to know
that she goes to Santa Trinidad.

[Carolina] Yeah.

Hey, didn't it seem to you
like she got way too nervous

when she saw the both of us?

-Exactly! That's what I mean.
-Yes. I thought she was kinda…

Yeah, she was really nervous.

Susana.

Susana. Susana has to know
absolutely everything that Alice is doing.

-I'm gonna ask.
-Please.

You really think Susana
is gonna tell you anything?

She would never talk.

-She's like her bodyguard.
-True.

Hmm.

Ah, Samuel.

Samuel must know her.

I will simply call him
like I'm totally clueless.

I'll begin asking about Alice.

-He'll tell me--
-Oh my God.

If you just wanna call Samuel,
it's because you wanna talk to Samuel.

-You don't have to use Alice as an excuse.
-Mm, no. I'm not making excuses.

Of course I wanna talk to Samuel.
I'm crazy about that little snack.

But… but… but, if at the same time
he can feed me information on Alice,

well, that's two for one.

I would just go straight to Alejo's place
and ask him everything.

My head's all over the place though.

I'm, like…
I feel like my brain's shutting down.

Wait a minute. I have a solution for that.

It's a little something
that's amazing for curing hangovers.

-I came across it by accident and--
-Laura.

I don't feel this way
'cause of last night.

I feel this way
because I'm the worst mother in the world.

I'm completely the worst.
I abandoned my children.

I abandoned my husband,
disappointed my mother-in-law. Oh God.

No, no, no.
Let's turn that guilt down a few notches

because what did you do yesterday, Caro?

Absolutely nothing wrong.

You had fun.

Yeah, but I don't feel bad for what I did.

I feel bad for how I feel.

[melancholy music playing]

Because it'd been forever
since I felt like that.

So free, unbothered, dancing my a*s off.

I wasn't worried if I had makeup on
or how I was dressed,

or… or having to satisfy my mother-in-law.

Carolina, do you want a divorce?

Yeah.

[salsa music playing]

Wendy? Give me a second. Wendy?

[Wendy] Hello!

How's it going?

-It's been so long! How are you?
-I'm great, and you?

-[Alice] Great.
-Awesome.

[Alice] Here on vacation. You?

-[Pablo] Pops, time to rest. All right?
-Uh-huh.

[Pablo] Yeah, you gotta rest up.

Yeah, okay, but you're not gonna start
treating me like a child.

[laughs] Well, I gotta take care of you.

-Yeah.
-Your son is right, Eliseo.

You should listen to him.
He does it out of love.

Well, I'm not gonna cause
any trouble today

because it's New Year's day,
so you two just relax.

Right, Dad.

-Mm
-Mm.

I love you.

-Want anything to eat or drink?
-No, no, my son.

-You doing okay?
-It's fine. No, no.

Fine. All right. Get some rest.

-[Eliseo] Good night. Uh-huh.
-Night, Dad.

Juancho.

What?

I'm worried, brother.

Ah. Why? Just relax. Eliseo will be fine.

-He's as strong as an ox.
-No. I'm not talking about that.

-You know Alejo Valdés, right?
-Yeah. Why?

Well, I went looking for him
because we're gonna need a lawyer.

And he almost hit me.

He was so aggressive. It was weird.

What? Seriously?
But you two hardly know each other.

That's what was weird about it.

Hey, Pablo, uh, have you heard from Alice?

No, she won't…

-She won't forgive me.
-But God will.

He absolves your every fault
and heals your every affliction.

-Amen.
-Yeah? Mm-hmm.

Well, that's exactly what I'm hoping for
because I know Alice won't forgive me.

INCOMING CALL
UNKNOWN NUMBER

-Hello?
-Hello.

Uh, Rita, it's Susana.

Um, I'm calling you
from a different number because--

Why, because you wanna apologize?

To explain why you stood me up once again?

No, Susana.

I'm not even slightly interested
in why you did it.

Okay. You're not interested. Fine.

And… and yeah.

I wanted to apologize

and tell you that I'm in Cartagena.

You alone?

With Alice.

Oh, I see, so something happened,
and you had to run to her rescue. Right?

Well, um, yes.
That's true, something happened, and--

You think I don't listen
to your conversations

when she turns up at your house
at whatever time she wants?

This isn't even about me

because I know
you don't give a sh*t about me.

But what I'm gonna tell you
is for the good of you both.

You wanna save Alice?

Let her go.

Just let her evolve.

And while you're at it,
see if you can start acting like an adult.

Or what is it?

Does feeling needed by your friend
really feed your ego that much?

Is that it?

You wanna help your friend?

Then just let go of her once and for all.

[exhales]

Susana. Susana, life is full of signs.

-You have no idea what just happened.
-What happened?

I ran into a friend I had when I was
a little girl, who I saw when I visited.

She's the granddaughter
of my grandma's friend.

-I hadn't seen her in ages.
-Ugh, just get to the point.

Fine. You know why it's a sign
we ran into each other?

No.

She works at a travel agency here.

Okay.

So, summer red wine, fresh anchovies,
a beautiful terrace in Chueca.

What are you talking about?

You don't have to worry about a thing
because she'll plan all of it.

Tickets, accommodations.
She'll organize absolutely everything.

I told her, for now, we can do a month,
and leave our return date open

so we can figure out
how long we wanna stay.

What the f*ck
are you talking about, Alice?

We're going to Madrid.

Tomorrow.

Both of us.

You're insane.

You can't just fly to Madrid
with the mess you have going on here.

What do you mean?
You told me to forget everything.

-This is perfect.
-No, wait a second.

I said let's run away, but for two days.

You know, Cartagena,
because it's New Year's.

To take a breather, to hold all the views
and reflect a little.

But I didn't mean cross the Atlantic
and run away from your problems. Okay?

Okay, okay, okay.
Don't make me feel insane.

It's not that crazy.
My mom lives in Madrid.

It's perfect, Su.

Pablo and Alejo live here,

and you're pregnant, Alice.

And one of them doesn't even know it.

Leaving was your idea,

to avoid the pain
and let go and to stop thinking,

and it's working for me. I feel amazing.

Yeah, okay. I said it.

But I take it back.

I take it back.

Because we can't keep running away
from our problems.

-Mm-hmm.
-And I don't mean just you.

I also mean me.

We're both screwing a lot of people over.

-[laughs] What a memory.
-[door opens]

Cheers to that.

[both laugh]

I came to talk about last night,
but I see you're already in a good mood.

-[Alejo] Don't get it twisted.
-No, you two shouldn't get it twisted.

-Ben.
-What? What's this? You're together again?

-I don't understand.
-Why don't we go and talk?

No, let's talk now. The three of us.

You don't speak for years,
and all of a sudden… whatever this is.

-Well, we never stopped seeing each other.
-No.

Well, I mean, we stopped
seeing each other when I married Alice.

Uh, well, before…

-I mean, we saw each other a lot.
-I mean, kind of, I guess.

Okay, so then, so while you told me

my father had passed away,
you were sleeping with Alejo?

-Okay, son. Calm down, please.
-Don't call me son!

You act offended
because I didn't share something,

but when I got here,
and I spoke to my mother,

you played dumb, didn't you?

You told me you hadn't seen her
since I was little.

This is such a joke.

You're all a bunch of hypocrites
and f*cking liars. You know that?

[salsa music playing]

[salsa music fades]

[soothing pop music playing]

[Rita] You wanna save Alice? Let her go.

Just let her evolve.

[soothing pop music continues]

[Alice laughs]

Su, this is Wendy.
The girl that's planning our trip.

I'm not going anywhere, Alice.

What's going on with you, Su?

If it wasn't for me,
you wouldn't have come to Cartagena,

and you wouldn't have this crazy idea
in your head of going to Spain.

-Wait, Alice.
-Tell me.

I'm not good for you,
and you're not good for me either.

We really need to stop this.

-Huh?
-We need to stop this.

Because otherwise,
you're never gonna face your problems,

because I'm always gonna be there
to cover up all of your lies.

No, Su.

I'm walking away from your life.

I'm sorry, Alice.

Su!
