[baby crying]

[Sol panting]

[sighs]

[crying]

[Sol sighs]

It's a girl.

She's beautiful.

[crying continues]

Shh.

[laughs]

Emilia.

[tender music playing]

[Josefa] Emilia.

It's your turn now.

Give her our family's blessing.

[birds tweeting]

Child, you who has been graced
by His heavenly touch

and given the gift of life
on this blessed day.

May you have clear eyes,

a truthful tongue,

an understanding and wise nose,

ears untroubled by whispers of deceit,

disciplined and measured tears,

an unwavering faith in eternal life,

and the serenity of His everlasting light.

[Josefa] Amen.

[Milagros] Can I give her my version now?

[Sol] Go ahead.

[Emilia] With what?

With the family's blessing.

[baby coughs]

Uh, child, you who has been graced
by His heavenly touch...

No. The other one, please.

If that's what you want,

I hope you're ready to raise
an unpredictable girl.

[laughs]

[baby crying]

[Milagros] Child,

I wish you a life of madness.

[laughs]

Of bravery.

Of restlessness.

May you find the sweetness
in love's ache and joy in solitude.

[Milagros and Emilia] May you have
inquisitive eyes.

A noble nose that never forgets.

A mouth that can equally charm
and curse with divine precision.

May you have faith
in the voices from beyond

and in the lessons they teach you.

And in a future filled with promises

of adventures,
discoveries and endless hope.

Amen.

LOVESICK
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY ÁNGELES MASTRETTA

Emilia, slow down, my love.

-[Diego chuckles]
-[Emilia] I'm sorry.

What did that innkeeper of yours
used to say?

No matter how fast you run,
death catches up with us all.

[Milagros laughs]

I hope she's well.

Hopefully everyone I love is well.

[Diego] She's probably seen many horrors.

The w*r against the dictatorship
has only led to more violent conflicts.

-It's a tragedy.
-I'm starting to think like Daniel.

Pain and death
are the inevitable price of renewal.

I still can't believe he has
to live in exile for speaking his mind.

You think he'll ever return?

[Emilia] How many times
did I ask you the same thing?

[bells ring, banging on door]

[rooster cawing]

Who knocks when they have a key?

[Milagros clears throat]

Good morning.

[Diego] Good morning.

-[Emilia] Zavalza!
-[Milagros] Good morning.

I'm sorry for the surprise.
I was going to write to you.

It's not a surprise.
I was told you came back a few days ago.

Sit with us. Are you hungry?

-Always. [laughs]
-[Diego] We even have your favorite.

-Grab a plate.
-[Josefa] How are you?

Emilia, are you free today?

[Emilia] Hmm?

Do you want to go on a walk with me?

I have something to show you.

Of course. Let's go.

-Five minutes.
-[Zavalza] Of course.

[Emilia] "I'm sorry for the surprise."

Who surprised who here?

He's the one who ignored
your last three letters

and who just came unannounced
at your parents' place.

[exhales]

[horse whinnying distantly]

Sorry, Emilia, I forgot today was Friday.

[Emilia] What's special about Friday?

It's when the doctor comes
for his weekly breakfast.

[Emilia] Weekly?

What's the key for?

It's for emergencies.

Like coming for breakfast every Friday?

[Josefa] Well, no.

It's just convenient, you know.

Which one?

The purple one.

With the stripes.

Mm-hmm.

And what does he want to show me?

I don't want to say. It's not my place.

[Emilia] Of course.

How silly of me.

If you didn't tell me
that you've adopted him,

why would you tell me that?

[bells tolling distantly]

So, how's the practice?

Good.

Complicated.

But we live in complicated times.

That's for sure.

[horse whinnies]

What did you want to show me?

You'll know real soon.

This.

[laughs]

[uplifting music playing]

METROPOLITAN HOSPITAL
FOUNDED IN 1915

-[Zavalza] Good morning, gentlemen.
-[man] Good morning.

[uplifting music continues]

-Good day.
-Good day.

Good morning, Doctor.

Good morning, Laura.

[Emilia gasps softly]

-Good morning.
-[nurse] Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Hello, how are you?

A hospital.

You set up a hospital.

I'm trying to.

When you said earlier
that you had something to show me,

that's not what I imagined.

What did you imagine?

[chuckles]

I thought you had a girlfriend.

And what? Would you be upset if I did?

I wouldn't do that to you.

[sighs]

There's more?

Our very own operating room.

Dr. Hogan helped me to acquire
all of the instruments.

They almost didn't get past the border.

But I got them in time
for my first amputation with chloroform.

The last amputation I did,

I gave the patient a generous
glass of tequila and a rag to bite on.

Where was that?

In Chihuahua.

I had my own hospital up there.

How did you get back from Chihuahua?

The train.

It took a while.

You must have learned so much
from that experience.

I learned that things are easier
to tear apart than to mend.

Destruction requires very little time.

But creation?

You built an actual hospital.

[chuckles]

I didn't literally build it
and it's not a hospital yet.

You created something.

While so many thirsted for destruction,
you worked to build something positive.

That's exceptional.

You are exceptional.

Are you back?

-I'm right here.
-Sure.

But are you back for good?

Because...

we're in dire need of staff.

[whimsical music playing]

[man coughs]

-[nurse] Good morning, Doctor.
-Good morning.

-Mrs. Torres, how are you feeling?
-[Emilia] How are you?

[Mrs. Torres] A little better, Doctor.

-[man coughing]
-[Zavalza] Good. May I take a look?

Hi, sir. I'll be taking care of you today.

-[man] Thank you.
-[Emilia] Inhale.

-[man inhales]
-Exhale.

[man exhales]

Thank you.

[bell clanging]

[doors bang open]

[orderly] Where do you want him?
It's influenza.

Go through the back.

[orderly] Ah.

-[girl] I'm gonna be sick again.
-She's been throwing up.

I'll take a look.

[bells jingling]

I would rather have my daughter
be examined by a doctor.

I can help her.

A doctor with a diploma, preferably.

[baby crying]

[pensive music playing]

I'll stay here. To study.

[Zavalza] Sure, no problem.

You could pass this exam in your sleep.

[professor] Next, Miss Sauri.

Case M20, please.

Case M20.

The male patient

suffers from sensitivity to light,

mild seizures and heart palpitations.

First, I would proceed
with a lumbar puncture.

[Diego] I should have bought
a nice bottle.

[Josefa] All in good time, my love.

[Sol] Good day.

[Josefa] I'm getting nervous.

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

[men laughing]

-Here she is.
-[gasps]

[chuckles]

[dramatic music playing]

[quietly] She doesn't look too happy.

[music fades]

[Emilia laughing] I did it!

[excited chatter]

[uplifting music playing]

[Sol] How wonderful!

-Congratulations!
-[Sol] I'm so proud!

My daughter is a doctor!

Congratulations, Dr. Sauri.

[laughs]

[uplifting music continues]

[laughing]

I'm so proud of you.

[celebratory music playing]

[sentimental music playing]

CERTIFICATE OF MEDICINE

[Emilia sniffles]

Good morning.

-Doctor.
-Doctor.

You have a patient in bed two.

[door opens]

[Emilia] Mr. García, Evelia.

-Emilia.
-Good to see you.

Good to see you too.

All you need is a catheter
to clear the blockage

and you're good to go.

You're going to do it?

It's not my first time. Don't you worry.

-[spluttering]
-All right.

-Wait, what do you mean, all right?
-Please.

I want a real doctor, now!

[shushes]

Well, you were assigned to my rotation,
so it's either me or no one.

-I'm leaving!
-[Evelia] No!

[winces and groans]

[Evelia] Come on, Ignacio.
Please, don't be ridiculous.

-Come here.
-[exhales sharply]

Stop being so stubborn. You need this.

-Here, sit down.
-[grunts]

Don't worry, it'll mostly be painless.
It'll be over before you know it.

[all laughing]

I couldn't have asked
for a better scenario

on my first day as a real doctor.

-[all laugh]
-[Josefa] I think it's just perfect.

-[Emilia] Isn't it?
-[bell clangs]

-[Diego] Good grief.
-I'll go.

[Diego] Poor Mr. García.

-[Emilia] Thank you.
-[door slams]

[Josefa] I guess it serves him well
after treating her like that.

[Diego] What comes around goes around.
I always say that.

-[Josefa] You don't always say that.
-[Diego] I do. You don't pay attention.

[Josefa] Here we go again.
What am I going to do with you?

[Diego] Hmm, I don't know.
What you've always done with me?

[Josefa] By the way, did you know
Evelia has had to fire all of her maids?

[Diego] Heard something to that effect.
I'm not surprised, though.

-[Josefa] She's still in denial...
-[Emilia] It was the mailman.

There's a letter from Daniel.

[Diego] Hmm?

It's addressed to the entire family.

What does it say?

That he's doing very well in Spain.

He says he's been writing a lot.

He also sends his love.

[Diego] Ah.

[Emilia] Can you give it
to Auntie Milagros?

-She should read it too.
-[Josefa] Sure.

[crying]

[Sol] Of course you miss him.
It's perfectly normal.

No, no, I don't miss him.

My heart just feels so heavy.

[sobbing]

[baby Emilia babbling and crying]

[Sol] What's the matter, sweetie?

Shh, it's okay.

-[whining]
-[shushing]

-Why didn't you go with Daniel?
-[door opens]

-I just couldn't.
-[Felipe] Mama.

-Felipe, what happened, honey?
-Mama...

You can't sleep?

[Felipe] Emilia cries so loud,
she woke me up.

Let's go back to your room together.

It's not my room anymore.

Come on. Let's get back to bed.

It's a bit chilly tonight, isn't it?

That's it, get under the blankets
so you don't catch a cold.

[Felipe groans]

[bells tolling distantly]

-[baby Emilia whimpering]
-Hey, look at the stars, Emilia.

[Emilia and Sol chuckle]

[Emilia] He misses having
his own room in the big house.

-[hooves clopping]
-[horse whinnying]

[Sol] But I prefer this one. [chuckles]

-[Emilia] You have three children, Sol.
-[Sol laughs]

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

[both laugh]

Do you miss Titi?

[sighs softly]

At times, yes.

It's...

I don't understand how a man this young
could die so suddenly.

If only Zavalza had been allowed
to perform an autopsy.

Then you would have an explanation.

An explanation?

Emilia...

You don't know.

What?

I know how my husband died.

What was it?

After losing all the sugar mills,

we were forced to sell the house, and...

he didn't take it well
and became very sad and pensive.

He stayed in bed for three weeks
and barely ate during that time.

Then suddenly, he got better.

On some days,
he was back to being his old self.

I got pregnant.

And about two months later,

we met with his family
to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Right before it was time
to serve the cake,

he excused himself.

We found him in the garden
along with his father's g*n.

[exhales deeply]

I'm sorry.

[Sol] It was all too much for him.
Poor thing.

I really tried to be angry with him, but...

It breaks my heart.

He'll never see them grow up.

The children don't know.
Most people don't.

But I thought perhaps you...

[chuckles]

When you were gone, I spent so much time
talking to you in my head

that I forgot
what I did and didn't tell you.

[inhales deeply]

[sighs]

I'm such a terrible friend.

Why?

Because I did the same thing to you
that b*stard did to me.

I'm sorry I wasn't there.

[Sol] There's no need to apologize.

We were both just trying
to figure out our lives.

And so what do we do now?

I guess we just keep on living.

[chuckles]

Tell me, when did you become so wise?

I'd say around October 1915.

On a sunny morning.

[both laugh]

Oh...

She has no experience,
but she's very smart.

Maybe she could help
with the administration

or whatever else you need done.

Any help is appreciated.

I don't think she ever imagined
needing to work, you know,

but she wants to be
less dependent on her parents.

She doesn't like owing them anything,
plus she has the children.

Tell her to come see me tomorrow.
We'll find her some work.

Thank you so much, Zavalza.

-You're always so generous and...
-[Zavalza] Please.

Stop praising me.

I can't take it.

Sorry, I didn't want to...

It's not helping.

Understood.

You're not staying for dinner?

Not tonight.

-[thunder rumbling]
-[door opens]

[door closes]

[pensive music playing]

[Josefa] You barely ate. Was it not good?

Your food is always delicious.

[Diego] Oh.

It's coming down hard.

-[Josefa] It is.
-[Diego] I'll close this.

-[Josefa] Yes, please.
-[Diego] There.

I wouldn't want you to catch a draft.

[Josefa] Thank you. I was getting cold.

[Diego] Me too.

Do you want me
to help you warm up, my love?

-Here. Come closer.
-[laughing]

-Feels good, right?
-Aw...

[mellow music playing]

[Diego] What should we read tonight?

[Josefa] Uh, something we haven't read.

[rain pattering]

Are you going to spend the night outside?

I just might.

Poor thing. It must be hard
having no one to love.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[calming music playing]

[gentle piano music playing]

[sighs]

-[knocks on door]
-[dog barks and howls]

[knocking]

[dog barking]

[sentimental music playing]

[uplifting music playing]

[dog panting]

[door closes]

[rain pattering]

[breathing heavily]

[gasps softly]

[both gasping softly]

[kissing]

[romantic music playing]

[both breathing heavily]

[calming music playing]

[rooster crowing distantly]

[birds tweeting]

[Zavalza whistles]

[sighs]

[sniffing]

[chuckles]

-[whistling]
-[dishes rattling]

[Emilia laughing]

Yes.

[sighs]

-[Zavalza clears throat]
-[Emilia snickers]

-[laughs]
-[Zavalza] What?

I was about to praise you,
but you don't like that.

[laughs]

Your smile says it all.

[laughing]

[gasps]

I don't think you should worry about her.
I'm sure she didn't sleep on the street.

[sighs]

Oh, so that's what you're worried about.

[door bangs open]

[footsteps]

-[slurps]
-Good morning.

[Emilia] Good morning.

Good morning.

[slurps]

[clears throat]

I'm a bigamist.

Affection can never be used up.

I guess we'll find out.

[Josefa] What a shameless duo you make.

Even in novels, women aren't
quite as lucky as you two are.

Milagros already struck gold
with Rivadeneira.

And now you too?

You are simply the luckiest women alive.

It's unbelievable. Infuriating even.

Don't exaggerate.
It's not like they're saints.

[Josefa] I sure hope not.

I wonder which god treats you this well.

[Emilia] Yours.

You just need to pray harder.

Mm-hmm.

[chuckles]

Zavalza, why do we have
two books for the week of January 28th

instead of one?

Oh.

[whimsical music playing]

[both laugh]

[Zavalza] Uh, come in.

You see, what happened is that
I brought one of the books home.

Then when I wanted to do an inventory
for that week, I couldn't find it.

So I remade another book
for that same week,

but I remembered the original was at home,
so that's why you have two.

[inhales sharply and exhales]

-I'll take care of it.
-Thank you.

-Of course.
-Thank you.

Sorry for the confusion.

Finally!

President Carranza issued a decree
stipulating that from now on,

federal taxes must be paid in silver.

Ha! That old man is slowly turning
into a moderate version of Porfirio.

You know he's younger than you, right?

But I look much better.

The new constitution
guarantees the right to health,

the right to education,
and the right to work.

Did an American write it?
What's next, the right to happiness?

[Emilia] I believe that's implied.

While we're at it,
why not add the right to eternal life?

Ha, ha.

There's no need to be so pessimistic.
It's just a starting point.

Governments established after a conflict
always tend to be idealistic at first.

Personally, I don't mind
that they're promoting those ideals.

If they uphold even a third of them,

this country will be in much better shape
than it's ever been.

I think I'm coming down with the flu.

-It's disappointment.
-Some of these things will come true.

Do you want me to prepare
some pasqueflower drops?

Uh-uh.

I'll do it myself.

You're no longer an apothecary.

[dog panting]

[grunts]

[dog growls softly]

[panting continues]

[dog whimpers]

I'm uncomfortable.

[chuckles]

[crickets chirping]

[moans softly]

[door closes]

[dogs barking]

[Emilia] Zavalza?

[chuckles]

-What are you doing?
-[Zavalza exhales]

[door closes]

[sighs]

-[laughs]
-[chuckles] And look.

You can tell him all the things
that you can't tell me,

even your deepest secrets.

[laughs]

[Zavalza laughs]

Why the laugh?

I think I finally understand
why my parents call it domestic bliss.

Can I live here?

You already have your own chair.

[gentle music playing]

-[Felipe] Ah! Ouch!
-[Manuel] Mama, I want to go!

[wincing]

A little more.

-[Felipe] That hurts.
-[Manuel] He's not even hurt.

-Please let's go.
-[Sol] He's okay, Emilia. Come here.

-[Manuel] Come on, let's go. I'm hungry.
-Almost done.

-What happened?
-[Sol] Nothing.

A patient is waiting in the office.

-[Manuel] It's always about Felipe!
-[Felipe] I don't want Auntie Emilia.

-I'll take care of him. See the patient.
-The patient asked for Dr. Zavalza.

-Auntie Emilia is unpopular.
-[Manuel] It's taking too long.

[Sol] Who did this to you, Felipe?

-[door opens and closes]
-The Urrutias.

What? I thought they were your friends.

-Not anymore.
-Good riddance. The Urrutias are boring.

-But they punch hard.
-Punch them even harder then.

They said they don't want to be my friends
because my mother's a hussy.

-[Emilia] What?
-What?

Where are they? I'll teach them a lesson.

It's because you work,
and women are not supposed to work.

That's not true. Plenty of women do.
Look at Auntie Emilia.

Exactly. They said you became a hussy

when you started working
with Auntie Emilia

because she's also a hussy
and comes from a family of hussies...

Okay, we got it.
Emilia, want to go buy caramel toffee?

Manuel, come with me.

You stay with Auntie Emilia,
and I'll come back with some sweets.

Be nice and don't run your mouth.

[children laughing]

-[man] It's very itchy.
-Quite a character.

Don't worry, Auntie Milagros and I
have been called way worse things before.

I thought they told him something else.

About his father?

About me.

You haven't done anything wrong.

I was afraid they had told him
that for a few months,

Salvador Cuenca has been visiting
his mother in their family home

late at night when he's asleep.

Oh!

-[giggles]
-Shh!

Turns out, I don't lack imagination.

Mm-hmm.

[both laugh]

Apologies for the wait.

Milagros?

[door closes]

Are you the patient who asked to see me?

Not a word to Emilia.

[tense music playing]

[rhythmic knocking]

-[Emilia sighs]
-[knocking persists]

[Emilia] I'm finally done
with the last patient of the day.

You won't believe what I learned today.

[Zavalza inhales sharply]

What is it?

We could at the very least bring her
to the General Hospital in Mexico City.

She won't go to the hospital.

I didn't even know
she was sick for months.

Well, we have to convince her.

There is no cause for alarm yet.

There are things we can do
even if we don't know what the issue is.

-We have to do something.
-[Josefa] We can't stay silent.

Keep talking. She'll listen to you.
If anyone can convince her, it's you.

-[Zavalza] He's right, Josefa.
-[Milagros] Ding, ding.

-Do you hear the bell?
-[bell chimes]

[baby Emilia cooing]

[Milagros] Ding, ding.

It's the bell of death
ringing in the cathedral.

Ding, ding.

It's the bell of death
ringing in the alley.

Ding, ding.

It's the bell of death
ringing behind the door.

Ding, ding.

Here comes death to tickle you.

-[baby Emilia laughs]
-[Manuel] I want to play too.

[Sol] Honey, did Auntie Milagros
make you laugh?

When I was a little girl...

Do you remember how we used
to play that game when you were little?

The closer death got,
the louder you screamed.

On the other hand, Daniel got more
and more excited as it approached.

[chuckles]

What?

Nothing.

[Zavalza] ...even by American standards.

Hey.

Traitor.

We wrote to Dr. Hogan,
and he'd like to see you, Auntie.

There are things he can do
and there are new treatments.

Why do you think I'd want
to go to Chicago to see a doctor?

I didn't even want
to be treated by Zavalza.

-With good reason.
-[Emilia] This isn't up for debate.

[Milagros] Of course,
because you'd lose against me.

No one is as stubborn as I am.

[Emilia] What do you want to bring?

Who cares?
It's not like I'm going to a ball.

Whenever I pack, I think of him.

[Milagros] Has he written to you?

He has.

Every three months he sends a generic
letter addressed to the whole family.

And what have you told him?

Nothing.

But I know he knows everything.

Do you miss him?

[sighs softly]

I'm not sure anymore.

He's just always in my thoughts
whether I miss him or not.

What's the matter?

You can't sleep?

Hmm.

[lips smack]

[horse whinnying]

[hooves clopping]

[Emilia] We're here.

[vehicles passing]

Thank you.

Ah, yes, they're here! Come out!

-[Emilia laughs]
-[chuckling] Emilia!

Hello. Surprise! Welcome back.

Helen!

What are you doing here?

-[laughing]
-Oh.

I can still carry my own bag.

-[Dr. Hogan] Emilia!
-Dr. Hogan!

[Dr. Hogan] Oh!

Ah!

Now, promise me
you won't judge this old man

for falling in love with a woman your age.

-I don't judge people in love.
-Good to hear.

-Thank you so much for opening your home.
-No.

This is as much your home as it is mine.

Give me the bags. Give them all to me.
I'll take care of it, don't worry.

-Thank you.
-Come in, come in.

[Emilia] Thank you.

-Ah! Hey, beautiful!
-Come here, you!

-Oh, come in, come in.
-So how was the trip, ladies?

Ah, it was terrible.

Very long.

I see you updated the furniture.

I did. It was much needed.

-[laughing] It was.
-Let me take this for you.

-[Dr. Hogan groaning]
-Darling.

[Daniel] You made it.

[sentimental music playing]

[Milagros] What are you doing here?

As soon as I got Salvador's letter,
I jumped on the next ship.

Salvador wrote to him.

Mm. Mm.

I'm not dreaming. You're really here.

He said you were very sick,
but you look good.

-[Milagros] Thank you.
-Hey.

You didn't know he'd be here?

-No.
-[Helen] Good grief.

My surprise is really nothing
compared to his.

Right.

[dramatic music playing]

[grunts]

-[Daniel] How are you?
-[Emilia] Good, you?

-Good.
-Mm-hmm.

[Milagros] It's...

It's destiny.

[sighs]

Of course.

[Milagros] Mm-hmm.

So you're telling me destiny made you sick

so we could see each other again?

Oh, probably.

[Emilia scoffs]

-I'll tell Zavalza it was your fault.
-Mm.

[Milagros] Let me sleep.

Tomorrow morning they're
going to cut me into little pieces.

[somber music playing]

[gurney rattling]

[surgical tools tinking]

[air pump hissing]

[student 1] He made history today.

[student 2] Amazing what
modern medicine is doing.

[student 3] Unbelievable
what Dr. Hogan did.

-[Emilia] It was really impressive.
-[student 4] Yeah, really.

- [Emilia] See you
- [student 4] See you.

[students chatting indistinctly]

[Emilia] It went well.

But?

But the thing is,

based on her symptoms,

the tumor most likely
spread elsewhere in her body.

So what will happen?

One thing at a time.

[Milagros groans]

-[Emilia] Let me help.
-[Daniel] Here.

[Emilia] Good. Take it slow.

[Daniel] Don't rush, don't rush.

[Milagros groans]

[Emilia] Watch your step here.

I got it. Hold her tight.

-[Daniel] Almost there.
-[Milagros] You're doing too much.

-I can walk by myself.
-We know that.

We just wanted a reason to hold you close.

-Almost.
-[Milagros exhales]

-There you go.
-Do you want a glass of water?

-Uh-uh.
-[knock on door]

[Emilia] Come in, Dr. Hogan.

-[Milagros sighs]
-[Rivadeneira] How's our patient?

[timorous music playing]

Furious no one will leave her in peace.

[chuckles]

Mm-hmm.

-Hello.
-[Milagros] Hey.

Hmm.

[Milagros] Children.

Remember when we played Ding-ding?

The bell of death is approaching.

I'm not going to let that bell win.

[birds tweeting]

[kisses]

-Isn't drinking ill*gal now?
-[laughs]

Exactly. The more ill*gal,
the better it tastes.

[all laugh]

I never would have thought

that my first crime would be
to drink ill*gal liquor

with Dr. Cuenca's son.

My father had no qualms
about breaking arbitrary laws.

To Dr. Cuenca.

-Cheers.
-[all] Cheers!

When are you returning to Spain, Daniel?

Not sure. I have no plan yet.

I was thinking of going to New York.

I want to link up with a group of Mexicans

who have connections
with the new Obregón administration.

Yes, Obregón just got elected.

I can't. It's very, very hard
to keep up with your country's politics.

It's always someone different
in the newspaper. It's insane.

Daniel?

Do you want to join me?

[both laugh]

[Daniel] Sure.

[melody being played on piano]

Milagros! How are you feeling?

-Much better.
-[Dr. Hogan] Ah.

[laughs]

-[Rivadeneira] How is it going?
-[Dr. Hogan] Good.

-Here you go.
-[Dr. Hogan] Follow me. Look at this.

-[Rivadeneira] Let's see.
-[Dr. Hogan] What do you say?

-It's a chessboard.
-A chessboard, that's right.

I'm surprised he didn't show
his chessboard to you.

He got it last week
and can't stop talking about it.

-[piano melody continues]
-[Dr. Hogan] ...that is this.

-[slurping]
-What are you going to do?

[Dr. Hogan] Care for a match?

I don't know.

I'd like to do whatever I feel like,
but it's not that simple.

Ah.

I really wonder where you got
this persistent urge

to always do whatever you want in life.

[laughs softly]

There's no way to know, really.

[chuckles]

[Milagros clears throat]

[Milagros] You've never been capable
of imagining life without him.

-I disagree.
-Ah.

[both chuckle softly]

The only person I can't imagine
my life without is you.

[gasps softly]

[piano melody ends]

[sighs]

[inhaling and exhaling]

[knock on door]

[knocking persists]

So were you going to make me
wait all night?

[tender music playing]

[both breathing heavily]

[romantic music playing]

[romantic music continues]

[both inhaling sharply]

[sighs]

Whenever I run into you,
you look like a starving dog.

-[growls]
-[laughing]

When are you going to New York?

Whenever you're ready to go.

When Auntie Milagros
and Rivadeneira return to Mexico.

And when did I say
that I was going to New York with you?

I just know you want to.

[sighs]

[inhales sharply]

What should I do with you?

Easy. Be my wife.

I'm already your wife.

But you're cheating on me with the doctor.

You don't understand.

I do. I understand
that you're sleeping with another man.

[scoffs]

You're the one who left.

[sighs]

Even when my body is gone...

my heart is always with you.

[sighs]

And what does that do for me?

I'm still alone in the end.

What if I want a family?

A future.

[kissing]

[birds tweeting]

[bells clanging distantly]

[car engine puttering]

[train whistle blowing distantly]

MY HEART IS ALWAYS WITH YOU

[wistful music playing]

What does she want?

Everything.

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[birds tweeting]

[inhales deeply]

Do you want a baby?

I slept with Daniel.

I don't care.

[sighs]

[rooster crowing distantly]

[Emilia] I have the ointments you ordered.

SAURI APOTHECARY

[bells tolling distantly]

-Here you go.
-[man] Thank you. Have a good evening.

[Emilia] You too.

[door opens, chimes jingle]

[register dings]

[coin tumbles]

[powder sifting]

[Diego grunting softly]

[Emilia] I'll do it.

[Diego sighs]

I'll always be an apothecary.

[chuckles]

Your mother wants us to go live
near the sea in the Caribbean.

Oh, really? Cute.

[laughs]

I think I'll miss
the air of the volcanoes.

[both chuckle]

The w*r has officially been declared over.

[sighs]

Are you still disillusioned?

No.

When you were gone,
I realized something obvious.

[Emilia] Hmm?

Something good did come out
of all these years of chaos.

What?

You.

[chuckles]

[gentle music playing]

[sighs contentedly]

What should I make for dinner?

Everyone's coming.

[Salvador] Sorry we are late.
Emilia refused to go to bed.

[Sol] She's something.

Thank you.

[Diego] Mm!

-There you go.
-[Josefa] Sol, would you like a drink?

[Emilia] I don't think
there's going to be enough.

-[Sol] Thank you.
-Good evening.

-How's everyone?
-[Milagros] Good evening, Zavalza.

Very well.

-Hi there.
-[Milagros] Welcome.

[Diego] He doesn't have a plate, Emilia.

Give him a plate so he can
serve himself some tortas.

[Rivadeneira] It's very good.
I've already had three.

-[Josefa] Does he have a plate?
-It's your turn.

-[Josefa] Let me get another one.
-[Sol] Other people are allowed to kiss.

-[Zavalza] How is it?
-[Diego] One's not enough.

[Zavalza] Josefa, you're going
to make me gain weight.

-[Emilia] He likes it, yes.
-[Zavalza] Thank you so much.

-[Diego] Help yourself.
-[Emilia] This one has more meat.

Please, take as many as you want.

[Diego] How was work today, Zavalza?

[Zavalza] Busy.

[uplifting music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Diego] It must be good. Zavalza's quiet.

[laughter]

[birds tweeting]

[lilting piano music playing]

[laughter and indistinct chatter]

[man 1] There is still so much
that we don't know.

I mean, only 50 years ago,
we didn't know hormones were a thing.

Isn't that right, Dr. Sauri?

[Emilia] I always knew hormones existed.
I just didn't have a name for them.

[man 1] Interesting.

Grandma!

I got some peanuts for you.

[Emilia] Thank you, my dear.
Give some to Grandpa.

-Yes, I agree.
-[man 2] For sure.

-[man 3] Well, cheers to that, my friend.
-Grandpa, do you want some peanuts?

-[laughs]
-You can have five.

Thanks, honey.

[indistinct chattering]

[spirited music playing]

[pastoral music playing]

[young Emilia] Daniel!

[young Daniel] Try and catch me!

[young Emilia] Give it back!

[gentle acoustic music playing]

[young Daniel] Who's fast now?

[laughs]

[young Emilia] Daniel, stop!

[upbeat guitar music playing]

[Emilia] Aquiles Serdán
fought for democracy and justice,

and they m*rder*d him while
he was hiding in his basement, unarmed.

[Helen] You're welcome.
I hate seeing wasted talent.

Let me get you something to drink.

-Father.
-How are you doing?

[upbeat guitar music continues]

[overlapping chatter]

[Emilia] The bird that makes you truly fly
is beneath your hat all the time.

God help us,
and don't you ask me which God.

[overlapping chatter continues]

[Diego] I even prepared
some handmade gifts

for her mother to win her over.

You should have seen his face.
He knew I was right.

[Milagros] ...changing at the moment,
and you have to take advantage of that.

[poignant music playing]

[emotional piano music playing]

When did you get here?

I've always been here.

[uplifting music playing]

[chuckles]

[music fades]
