01x02 - Confessional

[bunniefuu]

Who's the head of the family?

Doctor?

We're ready.

Proceed with the intubation.

Have some rest.

I'm going to take
care of the rest.

Mrs. Navarro suffered a
subarachnoid hemorrhage

that is mainly affecting
her left brain.

This could have been caused
by a surge in blood pressure.

For now, she's been
put in an induced coma.

The swelling of her
brain is critical,

so we need some time
to see some progress.

What if there's no progress?

In that case, I will need your
authorization for surgery.

By draining the
hemorrhage, we will be able

to reduce the risk of cognitive
and functional damage.

- Will there be any side effects?
- I don't know yet.

It would help if someone
checked her hand mobility.

I think you should do that.

Doctor, nice to meet you.

My name is Mercedes
Rossenberg. I'm a psychiatrist.

We perfectly
understand the risk.

Do whatever you need.

Who do you think you are?

Are you speaking on
behalf of my daughter?

Mercedes, this is
a family affair.

What do you know about family?
You don't even have one.

Hey, hey. Stop it now.

You two, get lost.

I'm not going anywhere, okay?

I'm talking to those
two, you idiot.

Mercedes and my
dad will stay here.

Elena, please, calm down.

Peacekeeper. Prosperous
and individualistic,

just like the one who left
without anyone noticing. Loyal.

Defiant. Cheerful. Territorial.

Cecilia must be
the perfectionist.

Doctor. Before you do anything
to my dearest Cecilia,

I need to talk to you, Doctor...

- Jimenez.
- Jimenez.

Fine. Come with me. Excuse me.

Excuse us.

I want to tell you that my mom
passed out during the party

and fell into a coma.

What if I never see her again?

My mom lost her mom when
she was super young,

and recently she told
me that, this year,

I would be the same
age that she was

when my grandma passed away.

That's freaky, right?

I don't know if I'm going
to be able to tell her

that I love her ever again.

LOW BATTERY

I want to speak bluntly.

I need to know that the
doctor that's going to operate

on my daughter is
the best there is,

because Cecilia is my treasure.

I preside over the National
Institute of Neurology.

That's great,

but that's only a position.

How do I know

that position was not
given to you by a friend?

That's a serious claim.

Well, what I mean,
doctor, is that

I don't even know your
name. I don't know if

it's Jair Antonio,

or Javier Augusto,

- or...
- Jose Alfredo.

- Jose Alfredo Jimenez?
- Yes.

I'm not related to him, I
don't like ranch era music,

and I won't sing "But
I'm Still King" for you.

One more thing, Doc. How many
surgeries have you performed?



My, my, Good memory,
swiftness, accuracy.

Yes. Extraordinary.

Tell me this, are you married?

Is that a joke?

Why do you ask?

Marriage is no joke.
Being married is no joke.

I struggle to identify
when people are joking.

Were you?

- No.
- In that case, I'm divorced.

Divorced?

Yes.

Doctor, why did
you get divorced?

Is that a joke?

Get out of there, Ana.
There are too many. Get out.

Ana.

To hell.

What is it, kamikaze?

Bad day?

Terrible.

My sister is in a
coma at the hospital.

She suffered a stroke
during the party.

That's tough.

It was my fault, I think.

Don't say that.

It's true. I was
pestering her all day,

making her life impossible.

I called her a traitor,
and then it happened.

Ana, I'm truly sorry.

That's tough. But,

you do know that doesn't cause
a stroke, right? Do you hear me?

I hate that you're so far away.

Want a hug?

Now I need to take care of the
company, before it goes to hell.

- Right.
- Although that traitor

wanted to sell it.
That was the problem.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe you should go
to the hospital first.

Visit her, see how she's doing.

Talk to her, tell
her you're sorry.

And then, yeah, take
care of the business.

Who else other than
you will do that?

You know what to do.

Hello? Hello?

No, we're still at the hospital,
Goyo. What do you need?

What? No damn way.

No, not you, Goyo.

Look, Ana is not here.
But I'm on my way.

We will solve this,
okay? Calm down.

This is a scam.

Also, these cookies are stale.

Do you need change?

No, I'm good.

Move over.

You knew about Elena, right?
She was staying with you.

How could you let her
sleep with that b*stard?

Elena is old enough to sleep
with whoever she wants.

Adolfo. Here.

No, thank you.

Take it. Don't be stubborn.

And you're speaking
like a hurt Oedipus,

- a father whose...
- Hey, listen.

Listen. No, no.

I'm not one of your patients,
Mercedes. Don't mess with me.

Did you know or did you not know
that Elena had sex in my house?

Technically, it's my house now.

Technically, she's my daughter.

She's 19, and now
she's pregnant.

Would you please cut it
out? I'm begging you.

She needs you. I want you to
go with her for her ab*rtion.

My daughter's not
getting an ab*rtion.

I understand, Mr. Urruti.
But tell me, how much is it?

How much do we owe you?

Hello? Hello... He hung up.

What, nothing works if Cecilia
is not here or what, Goyo?

Look, they won't
grant us any credit.

He said we need to pay in
advance, but the thing is

I don't have the password
to access the e-banking.

- Do you understand?
- Morning.

Ana. Thank God you're here.

Can you access the
company's e-banking?

Cecilia is away
for five minutes,

and you're trying to
take advantage, idiot.

See that, Goyo?

You're an idiot. We
have a massive order,

and I don't have any
money to pay for it.

Did you call Urruti?

Duh, obviously.

Duh, you should have
called his son, as*h*le.

He's the one who grants credit.

Duh, well, you should
have told me before.

- Do you have the password?
- I don't, damn it.

- Relax, take a breath.
- Damn.

I'll go to the storehouse,

- you try to fix this mess, okay?
- Yeah, Goyo and I

- will take care of it.
- Go. Fine.

Go play Candy
Crush or something.

Look who's talking.
Ana, don't dare to...

Go. This guy is way too intense.

How can you put
up with him, Goyo?

Are we in trouble or not?

We're in trouble.

Have you considered the
risks of an ab*rtion?

Adolfo, the odds that
something will go wrong

are tiny.

Something went wrong already
if she wants an ab*rtion.

- Honey, your mindset...
- Family of Mrs. Navarro?

Yeah.

You can see her now.

One by one, and only adults.

I'm going to see
her and inform you.

You go first?

Elena, go see your mom.

I don't want to
see her. Let's go.

Excuse us.

It's just normal.

Would you like to see
your mother lying in bed?

I just want you to know that
you don't have to worry.

Our daughters are in good hands.

You're like a mother and
a father at the same time.

Besting you is
almost impossible.

You know,

I never stopped loving
you, not for a minute.

I love you.

Majo.

Princess, I want
to ask you a favor.

You know that

I'm a senior.

I'm older than the
word "old" itself.

So, I want you to...

As you know so much
about Internet,

I want you to help me to
investigate that doctor.

Why?

Because I find him a little odd.

And I need to make
sure that your mom

is in the best possible
hands. Do you follow me?

Yes. Okay. I'll investigate
him. Don't worry.

Yeah.

So, what was his name?

Jose Alfredo Jimenez.

It has to be a fake name.

Imagine that. Jose
Alfredo Jimenez.

Who?

Hey, Eddie here.
Leave a message.

Hi. This is Ana Navarro.
Cecilia's partner.

I'm calling to resume
our conversation.

I'm calling to tell you the
company is not for sale.

So you can look for
another franchise.

Oh, my little girls.
You must be exhausted.

Bring a plate, Majo.

No. No cake. From now on,

we will eat well in this
house. I will cook, okay?

But you don't cook, Dad.

What do you mean, honey?

Who did your father
play in Among Stoves?

Chef Gianfranco Avalos.

He used to cook
delicious dishes.

Right.

I will help you.

Please do.

But playing a chef
doesn't make you a chef.

Alma. The one who cooks is
my mom's other ex-husband.

Oh, really? Okay, fine. Give
me 10 minutes and you'll see.

How do I put this on? Let's see.

No way. I got 2000
new followers.

That's wack.

Why?

I was feeling terrible,
and I shared it.

Listen.

"Thank you for showing
the dark side of life,

Hashtag 'CVAacknowledgement.'"

You're unbelievable, Romina.

It's terrible you're using the
situation to get followers.

Do you think Mee-Maw died
from the same cause as Mom?

We never knew the
cause of her death.

Listen, I think I found
something on the doctor.

Do you know where Mom
has her credit card?

- No idea.
- Don't try to fool me.

I found him in a dating app

for professionals, and I
need to pay the subscription.

You finally put your
nerdiness to good use.

REGISTER

Really?

What? I only use
it for emergencies.

I need a picture of a woman.

Oh, I know.

Where did you get this?

From the drawer where
Mom keeps everything

she doesn't want to see anymore.

I think it's time for you
to leave the past behind and

be friends again.

You're like a sister to me.

I'm here to confess.

I wrote a book

about our relationship.

About you and me.

I know I promised
I would not write

any books about us. But

this time I needed to do it.

This is your book.

And I know you're
going to love it.

We never talked
about what happened.

Mercedes entered
my life so quickly

that there was no time
for anything else.

Now that we're getting
a divorce, she says that

in order to let her go,
first I need to let you go.

That this is like a chain of
emotions or something like that.

And she's right.

Seeing you like this
makes me realize

that I'm still
deeply bonded to you.

Cecilia.

We need to be able to
get rid of the guilt.

Forgive each other.

So that I can heal my
relationship with Mercedes

and separate from her.

If you don't wake up, I'm going
to stay attached to you forever.

Please.

Come on, Urruti. Help me, man.

Cecilia is in the hospital.

Okay. Yeah, I will
definitely pay you next week.

Thank you.

Goyo, I took care of the flour.

Yes, you can make
the whole order.

I see. This is all
about the attitude.

Yes?

Yes, it's me.

"Disbursement of salary"?

What the hell is that?

Yeah, yeah. Thank you.

- How can I help you?
- Ana, I'd like to know

what you want me to do about
meetings Cecilia scheduled.

Okay, tell me.

Meeting to approve
eco-friendly packaging

- the Chinese folks requested?
- Call that off.

Appointment at the
municipal office

to renew the land use permits?

The bakery industry
execs conference?

Health Department inspection?

Meeting with the
nonprofit organization

for the bread donation?

Anything else?

That's only for today.

Damn. Damn it, Cecilia.

No wonder why she's
always so freaking antsy.

So, what's top priority?
A matter of life or death?

Well, Cecilia was
applying for credit

that she was going to pay off
after selling the company,

but Dario can explain it
better. Shall I call him?

Yes. Also, bring me the
financial statements

that they prepared
for the Chinese folks.

Perfect. One last thing,

should I let Dr. Sandoval know
that Cecilia won't be able

to go to therapy
until further notice?

What therapy?

It's nothing. Never mind.

I'll take care of it.

Mercedes only has vegan cheese.

And I think it's expired.

Whatever.

Let's see.

Hopefully, I'll
get food poisoning

and we won't need the ab*rtion.

I'm sorry.

Elena, you speak like you're
getting a molar pulled.

It's not that simple.

I know it's not.

But I don't want to have a
child. I don't know if you do.

Well, obviously
it wasn't my plan.

But it couldn't be that bad.

I hate that shitty phrase.

"It couldn't be
that bad," my a*s.

If you happen to be a rich kid,

son of landowners, who
became zillionaires

messing with peasants
and you're set for life

for the next 100 generations,

then it obviously
can't be that bad.

But if you're like me, and
you're expecting a baby

that you don't want only
because you were too damn horny,

then it can be that bad.

It doesn't always
turn out right.

Elena, calm down. Calm down.

You don't even know
half of the things

that your sister
does here, right?

Come closer, dude.

Why did Cecilia apply for credit

if the bakery is solvent?
Why does she need financing?

Oh, Anita. You
don't realize, huh?

You're stupefied by your
online fantasy world.

Don't disrespect me,
Dario. I'm your boss now.

No, no, no. Don't mix up things.

Cecilia is the only boss.

Really?

Well, you just lost your job,
as*h*le. What do you think?

You should realize that you
can't fill Cecilia's shoes.

You're fired, dumb-a*s.

Get out.

If I leave, it will be for good.

I'm leaving.

as*h*le.

Damn.

So this is where
you lived as a kid.

It's weird to be back, right?

Are you okay?

I didn't want to be alone.

Where's your boyfriend?

Long story. Any news
from the hospital?

No. Nothing yet.

There's still some time, right?

She's going to wake
up. She has to wake up.

This isn't your
fault. You know that?

Of course it's my fault.

The b*mb I dropped the other
day at the party was a big deal.

Simon, can't you use your

powers to help her?

I wouldn't call them powers.

Of course they are. You make
ceremonies and help people

and cure them of a
thousand diseases.

Why can't you help my mom?

Because I can't.

Cecilia has to overcome
this by herself.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yes.

Amazing.

So your stupid angels can't
help those who really need them.

Only rich tourists from Tulum.

It's not that.

But her body
demanded her to stop

and focus her energy
on the inside.

I had explained
this to you before.

At least please try
to do something.

I'll meet you outside.

Gee, you've seen me
naked all my life.

- It's not the same.
- No?

So

Are you going to do something?

There's a problem.

Since Cecilia
suffered the stroke,

I haven't been able to
connect to other planes.

Your spiritual Wi-Fi
connection is down?

And if I don't fix that, I
won't be able to continue.

But yeah,

I can try something tonight.

Thank you.

I remember that when you
were a little girl you liked

to sleep like this,
holding my hand because

you said that...

That you were
afraid of the dark.

But you,

and I, we both didn't
realize that...

That it was me who was
holding your hand because...

Because even back then,

you gave me strength.

How do you think Mom is doing?

What are you doing?
Turn the iPad off.

No.

What?

No way. I matched
with the doctor.

- What now?
- Make him speak.

Clearly, I got all the
neurons that you're lacking.

"Clearly, I got all the
neurons that you're lacking."

Let me see.

"I love to date doctors."

"Were you in the
waiting room today?"

YES, AND YOU CAUGHT MY EYE.

I LIKE DRUGS, DO YOU LIKE THEM?

NO, JUST SLEEPING PILLS
WHEN I CAN'T SLEEP.

Look it up.

SLEEPING PILL

ill*gal.

HOW MANY PATIENTS HAVE
DIED UNDER YOUR CARE?

Hey.

"Are you team Asperger's too?"

What's Asperger's?

A soccer team.

YES. I AM A FAN.

I finished checking the
financial statements

that you sent me.

Ms. Ana...

I'm busy.

So? Are we screwed?

Well, you've been living
hand to mouth for too long.

There are too many expenses.
Too many family wages.

That adds up to a large payroll.

- Wages?
- Well,

- for example, your father's.
- My dad? Wha...?

Also, there's a big expense
at the Marketing Department.

Managed by a guy named German.

Damn.

Yeah, I can explain that.

Now, I don't understand
why a bakery shop

that practically
flies off the shelves

spends so much on marketing.

The company has a revenue,

but every month it's
left out of money.

It would be a good business
if less people depended on it.

If there's an unforeseen
expense, like this,

you don't really
have emergency funds.

I think it was a
good idea to sell.

Damn it. And I told the
Chinese folks to stay away.

I'm an idiot. Cecilia
was right. Damn.

Is there any news on her?

No.

I'm terrified that
they're going to tell me

she's never gonna wake up.

I'd like to hug you tight.

Weird, right?

We don't know each other
from the waist down.

Well, I mean, we
do, virtually but...

- You know what I mean...
- Listen...

I'm pretty busy right now.
Talk to you later, okay?

Screw it.

How did it go with your visits?

There were so many.

I don't know if that many
people would come to see me.

My ex-wife used to say

that relationships
are like plants

and that I never water them.

That she was not a cactus.

She gave me a
"Guide of Emotions"

from an American psychoanalyst.

Clearly, it didn't work
because now we're divorced.

In time, I discovered
that it was easier

to talk with patients in a coma.

This way I can
practice my emotions.

That makes me a more
humanitarian doctor,

and I think people like that.

I don't know you yet, but I'm
starting to figure you out.

You own a bakery.

You have two ex-husbands.

Three daughters.

You raised your ex's son.

Your mother died, and
your father loves you

more than your sister.

This is a strange world, but

it's worth coming back to.

Hey.

- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?

I'm here to take
care of my daughters.

You have nothing to
do in this house.

I don't know. It was an impulse.

I felt the urge to be
close to her somehow.

We both agree on that.

Do you want a
glass of wine or...

- No, I can't.
- It's just one glass.

I'm an alcoholic.

An alcoholic remains
an alcoholic forever.

Yes. And a loser
remains a loser forever.

Cheers.

Come.

We did it. Come on,
make some magic.

Come.

Move closer, Elena. Here.

There's nothing
I can do for her,

but you can.

Stop, Simon.

You're the medicine that
Cecilia needs right now.

You tricked me, as*h*le.

Your mom needs to feel you here.

Close to her.

And that you won't let her go.

You're a prick.

I'll wait outside.

Mom, please don't die.

I need you.

It's pretty funny, huh?

I mean, we both
loved the same woman

and slept in the
same bed with her.

It's not the same bed.

This makes us family, huh?

At least much closer
than we thought.

Now I know that Cecilia
was the love of my life.

Cecilia wouldn't
get back with you

even if you were the
last man on Earth.

But I don't want us
to be back together.

I just want to stop feeling like
we owe something to each other.

We need to let each other go

from our core.

Is that from a book
by Mercedes or what?

I'm sorry that I didn't
visit you before, Ceci.

But I was trying to take
care of the company.

And I think I'm
messing it up big time.

I mean, what do you do
to make it look easy?

It's a pain in the a*s.

It's not a surprise that I

messed up the whole thing
with the Chinese folks.

But I thought it was a
whim you had, and I...

What will I do if
the bakery is sold?

I can't do anything.

I'm not joking, the only thing
I know is how to make bread.

And now that I know
how everything is,

I know you were right,
wanting to sell.

And...

I messed up, because I told
the Chinese folks to stay away.

Forgive me.

I know that I'm partly
responsible for you being here.

And I wanted to tell you
that despite you always being

the star of the family, and
I'm the ugly duckling...

I would never have wished

that something like
this would happen.

You need to get well.

Without you, the family
doesn't work, Ceci.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Have they given you
the medical report?

- Not yet.
- Is she still unconscious or...?

Yes. They stopped the sedation,
but she didn't wake up.

If she doesn't react in an
hour, surgery will follow.

Well, only if I authorize
this doctor to do it.

Grandpa, I investigated
him. I tested him in case

he was a potential m*rder*r
and the result was negative.

He's weird, but trustworthy.

Yes. Also, he doesn't have to
be likable to be a good doctor.

Where's Elena?

She went to get the ab*rtion.

You didn't know?

The person responsible for
all of this didn't think

- it was important to be here?
- It's no one's fault.

No, the guilt is shared.

- By you too.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I'm glad we're all here.

- Elena Martinez?
- I'm coming with her.

No, I'm her father.

Who do you want
to come with you?

You choose.

Why are you doing this?

- What?
- I'm her father.

- I have to go with her.
- No. We are women.

She will be more comfortable.

What will you do
if you don't agree?

She perfectly knows it...

I'm not doing this
without my mom.

Great. You made it.

I'm sorry, girls.

- Is the anesthetic ready?
- Ready.

Let's proceed.

Are you ready to go back?

Stop.

Cecilia, can you hear me?

Cancel the surgery.
