07x01 - Las Encinas

[bunniefuu]

[g*n FIRES THREE TIMES]

- [TIRES SQUEAL]
- [ENGINE REVS]

In an attempt to return to normalcy,

Las Encinas is reopening its classrooms.

The school board has sent us an
official communiqué confirming that.

[ROCÍO] You don't think
this could happen here.

[REPORTER] Two weeks later,

we still don't have
information on the sh**ting.

Thankfully, there were no injuries.

We'll update you as the story develops.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

My sister got out of there.

Now her life's incredible.
She's happy, fulfilled.

And look at me.

[MAN] It'll pass.

The bad times never
last. Just like the good.

[OMAR] When will the
pain go away, Mateo?

I'm thinkin' about going
back on my medication.

I still have some around.

You don't need to go
back on the medication.

- Much less self-medicate, Omar.
- [SIGHS]

How long will the damn nightmares last?

The panic att*cks?

The black f*ckin' cloud
hanging over my head?

Unfortunately, you can't
run from it. Only through it.

Stay with it. Feel it all.

Then one day, you'll
be on the other side.

["FERRYBOAT OF THE
MIND" BY CLINIC PLAYING]

[INDIE ROCK BUILDING]

[VIRGINIA] And I can assure you that
Las Encinas is a safe place still.

[MARÍA] How can you know for sure?

I mean, I don't understand
why this is even up for debate.

Our children's lives are in danger.

- [VIRGINIA] María, please.
- [MARÍA] No.

I think Dídac... should be expelled.

- Mama!
- Nico, we can discuss this later.

Having Mafia heirs at Las Encinas
doesn't reflect very well...

You're conflating him with the Mafia?

Oh don't. It was all over the news.

[VIRGINIA] Sensational
headlines. Clickbait.

And Dídac is just a teenager.

Yeah. Look, whatever your
name is, I don't really care.

- I'm Luis, academic director.
- Oh. I don't care.

What actually matters is they came
because they knew he went here.

So either you kick Dídac out,

or we're pulling our
kids out of the school.

- Did I make myself clear?
- We have no other choice.

- No. We have no other choice.
- [ALFONSO] No, María.

[VIRGINIA] Okay, please!

I'd like to ask you
all to take two days.

Really think it over. We'll take a vote.

And if anyone wants to delegate
their vote to someone...

Or to these two, we'll
permit you to do so.

[ROBERTA] Fine. Under one condition.

Until we have your vote,
keep him out of school.

[PARENTS MURMURING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[VIRGINIA] Okay. Uh, thank you.

Once you've made a decision,
we'll continue this conversation.

[NICO] Dídac.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[DÍDAC] It's f*ckin' amazing.

How you can f*ck up my
life no matter where I go.

- You need to stop!
- Hey. Relax. Calm the hell down.

They're gonna kick me outta school.
Pop's gonna take me back to Jávea.

What the hell are you up to
that'd lead to a sh**t?

You're not going anywhere anytime soon.

Answer my question.

If you wanna stay out of this
mess, then stay out of it.

That's fine with me.

But then don't ask any more questions.

- I had made real friends here.
- I told you, you're not leaving.

Trust me, man.

We can't let them do this.
This is a f*cked-up situation.

Well, I mean, literal sh*ts were fired.

All right. Let's go. Everyone
back to their seats, please.

[NICO SIGHS]

[TENSE MUSIC FADES SLOWLY]

Nico, would I be able to borrow
those photos of you with Dídac?

I swear I'll give them back to you,

but I think I could use
these to maybe help him stay.

Thanks.

[LOCKER CLOSES, LOCKS]

[SONIA] Nico!

Hey, um, you know, I think it's
really cool you're fighting for him.

He's my best friend.

The ones who'll do
anything for their friends

are the ones you wanna keep around.

[CELL PHONES CHIME]

CHECK OUT THE SLUTTY NEW GIRL.

Wait, what's happening?

Did all our phones go
off at the same time?

[STUDENTS MURMURING]

It's explicit content, and
they're calling the girl a slut.

It's probably a fake account.

Looks like someone leaked a sex tape.

Hey, don't watch it. If it's
leaked, it's invading her privacy.

Well, I know I will. Why the hell not?

Sara, come on. Don't.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

- Are you filming right now?
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Filming me turns you on, huh?

- [GUY PANTING IN VIDEO]
- [GIRL IN VIDEO MOANING]

- All right. Stop.
- [PHONE BEEPS]

Sure took you a while
before snatching it.

You were judging me and
snooping simultaneously.

- [TENSE MUSIC BUILDING]
- [SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

- [SONIA] Hello.
- Hey.

I wanted to say, them
leaking that video was awful.

You must feel like sh*t.

Not really. I'm good.

I'm not losing any sleep, you know?

Well, sh*t. If that'd happened to me...

Look, they stole my phone the other day.

Things happen. That's life.

And since there's not much
I can do about it. Next.

By the way, I'm Chloe.

Sonia.

Nice to meet you.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

I do appreciate the concern.

[MUSIC FADES]

["SE LA PASA BIEN" BY

Too bad this was a pool day, huh?

Relax. We'll be fine here too.

It's the company that matters.

Plans are just a pretext, right? Cheers.

Now these are ice cubes.

Not like they serve overseas.

Spanish ice cubes are just the best.

[MAN CHUCKLES]

Hmm.

Come on. Try to behave.

When I'm good, I'm so very good.
But when I'm naughty, I'm better.

[CHUCKLES] Well, cheers.

[DOOR OPENS]

[CHLOE] Hi, Mom.

Oh, hey. Hon, do you remember José Luis?

Well, that rings a bell.

[JOSÉ LUIS] She was so little back then.

Well, well. How you've grown.

Well, yeah. And... I've
grown pretty well too.

Why don't you go for a walk?
We have a lot to talk about.

[CHLOE] Sure.

Well, been a pleasure, José Luis.

Yeah, for me too.

- Hey.

- [LAUGHS]

[GROANS]

Carmen! That's uncalled for.

Assholes like you make my blood boil.

But I didn't say anything.

- You didn't say it out loud.
- [CLICKS TONGUE] You made your point.

[SIGHS]

Come on. Come here, silly.

[SIGHS] You wouldn't
happen to have a suit

from one of your other
lovers, would you?

[CARMEN LAUGHS]

If you're not careful, you
might end up eating this skirt.

[CHUCKLES] Well, now.

I'll have to take the
taxi home with a stain.

- See you tomorrow?
- Mm-hmm.

Come on, silly.

We'll talk more tomorrow about...
what brought you to Madrid.

- It's not me, I'm sure.
- Aren't you clever?

Ciao.

- Welcome, welcome!
- [IVÁN SIGHS]

- You got it?
- Yeah, I'm good.

[ISA] Okay. I'll leave this over here.

Yeah, that's fine.

- Hey, are you hungry?
- Yeah. We can order something.

Good, 'cause I am starving. Let's
order something yummy. Like pizza.

- I'd love that.
- Mm, okay.

All right.

[GROUP] Surprise!

Hey!

[FRIENDS CHEER]

[GROUP CHUCKLES]

Thanks, guys.

[BIRDS SINGING OUTSIDE]

[IVÁN] Even though the
police say there's evidence

that points to the b*rned car being his,

I know it wasn't Patrick.

Yeah, but then he
disappeared with his family.

I mean, it's weird.

I know, but I don't care.

It wasn't him.

- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [IVÁN INHALES SHARPLY]

He'd never do that to you.

Iván, I feel... awful.

I am so, so sorry.

Truly.

Sorry for all the pain you've
been through in a... short time.

Be right back.

[TENSE MUSIC BUILDING]

[CRYING SOFTLY]

[SNIFFLES]

[MUSIC FADES SLOWLY]

I'll go see what's up.

[SARA CONTINUES CRYING]

What are you doing?

What the hell are you thinking?

Huh?

Are you gonna confess?

You can't be serious.

You're f*cking...

[SARA INHALES SHARPLY, SNIFFLES]

I can't do this.

Oh, so you can't do this?

Oh, poor Sara!

You think you're the
only one going through it?

[SCOFFS]

Do you wanna go to the cops?
Let's go. But I'll confess for you.

- You what?
- I'll tell them I was the one driving.

What are you talking about?

It's about getting this
f*cking thing over with,

but I'm not gonna let you ruin
your life or rot in a cell.

I mean, there's no way.

I would rather I go to prison than
you. Or k*ll myself if I have to.

SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK

Okay, for tomorrow,
make sure you've read

the origin and theoretical perspective

of the Frankfurt School.

Thank you.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[PROFESSOR] Omar.

Someone contacted the school
about a paid internship.

You'd be coordinating and
managing an app to support students

at a school called Las Encinas.

You went to that school, didn't you?

No. I didn't.

Oh, no? Oh. Well, I
thought I read that in...

- Well, I didn't.
- [PROFESSOR] Well, sorry about the mix-up.

In any case, if you're interested
in the internship, call him.

[SIGHS] No, thank you.

I'm not interested.

ACADEMIC DIRECTOR

Why are you asking us to do this?

[LUIS] Nico's become the
wonderful young man he is today

thanks to his role models at home.

But at this point in his life, he
needs role models who are his age,

that treat him as an equal.

It's natural.

I think that's what Dídac is for Nico.

I mean...

it'd be unfair to have one student
pay 'cause of who his family is.

And another lose his
friend and role model

'cause of his family's stubbornness.

- Are you okay?
- [ERIC] Mm.

[MARÍA] Where are your parents?

[SIGHS] They don't know I'm here.

What do you mean, they
don't know you're here?

I'll tell them right now.

No, don't. I don't want them to know.

They're not in my life anymore. Period.

Where are you living?

Wherever I can find a place.

How's my cousin Nico?

Great. He's well. He's... very happy.

I'm so proud of him.

Yes, it's just these kinda
things make me a little intense.

Hello.

Nico invited me.

And I wanted to give Iván a hug.

- Hey, Dídac.
- [DÍDAC] How are you?

- Good.
- I'm so happy to see you.

Well, head into the living
room. Everyone's there.

- [DÍDAC] All right.
- See you in a sec.

What?

Do you really think it's
best to keep avoiding him

on his last night before
they take the vote?

Iván, mind your business.

Isa, wait.

Look. I know all too well
what it's like to realize that

you won't be able to spend
time with someone again.

Or do the things you never did together.

And it hurts like hell.

You have no idea.

And you?

How're you doing?

We're really getting on
your nerves, aren't we?

I really appreciate it, but...

If you say the word, give me three
minutes, and I'll kick them out.

[ISA SIGHS]

Hello.

Hey, bro!

Nico!

[CHUCKLES HAPPILY]

Oh! How are you? You stayin' for dinner?

Actually, he's living here.

- He's stayin' here?
- [ALFONSO] He is?

And, um... for how long?

Not sure. For a while, probably.

- [NICO] Oh yeah!
- [BOTH LAUGH]

[MARÍA, WHISPERING]
Please. We'll talk later.

[NICO SIGHS] Dude, I'm telling
you, you must have some major balls

to slug it out with cops
who are armed to the teeth.

Weren't you scared shitless?

[CHUCKLES] We have to fight
if we wanna end injustice, man.

If we don't stand up, the bad guys win.

That's right.

[NICO CHUCKLES]

[NICO] And were you there the
whole time? Didn't you leave?

How could I leave? I'm the
one that runs the show there.

[NICO CHUCKLES] I would've
shat myself in your situation.

"If we don't stand up, then
the bad guys win." [SCOFFS]

Good guys and bad guys.

Violent and immature. What were
you thinking, bringing him here?

What should I have done? I
couldn't leave him out there.

Well, your brother knows him.
Maybe he knows what he's doing.

Eric is a good kid.

Being with Nico, with us.

A home where he can feel
warmth, love, care...

We could get his life back on track.

- Or it'll derail Nico.
- No, that won't happen.

Because Nico has common sense
and won't get into trouble.

[SIGHS] Please, Alfonso. I'm
only asking for a few weeks.

To just give it a go, and
we can decide from there.

[NICO] Mom!

I'm taking Eric out for a drink.

Okay, sweetheart.

I wanna spend Dídac's
last night with him.

We're meeting at Isadora's.

- Don't come back too late.
- [NICO] Okay.

I'll change, and we can go.

María...

Look, I get it. I know that
Eric is your flesh and blood.

But you should show more grace
to your son's best friend,

who actually is quite
a good influence on him.

But ultimately, this
message is to say goodbye.

I refuse to lose you forever,
even if it is necessary.

Let me live with the hope that
one day we will meet again.

[MOURNFUL BALLAD BUILDING]

[PATRICK] I'm not asking for
something that was never there.

I'm not asking for
something to be invented.

I just wanna go back to
something we once had.

Something that was real.

But for my wish to be fulfilled,
my only option is to disappear.

Or that's what I'm told.

So, until we see each other again...

I love you.

I love you so much, Iván.

you, and I always will.

And as your new friend, I'd like to...

to give all the money
that I inherited to you.

Meaning I'd like to help you secure

the future you think
you're never gonna have.

["MCFLY" BY CA RIEL PLAYING]

Hey. Um...

Would you like to have a
drink sometime and chat?

A real conversation.

Not... Not me talking at you.
We can get to know each other.

Yeah, well, we'll see
what we can work out.

Uh, what's your Insta? Or your, uh...

[BOTH PANTING ON PHONE]

[MOANING]

You should try to be more
careful with the videos

you record of yourself.

We've seen what can happen.

Sweetheart. So, listen. Maybe
you should get off my back.

I mean, we've only just met, and
you're hella intense and annoying.

[QUIETLY] And I'm the
leaker of the video.

- Hmm?
- What the hell?

- [MUSIC ENDS ABRUPTLY]
- [CHLOE CHEWING LOUDLY]

Okay, look, Mom.

Haven't you always told me
to look for a rich boyfriend

who will treat me like a queen?

Well, at Las Encinas, I
can get a few of those.

And you'll get one by
carrying on that way? Hmm?

I have the attention
of the whole school now.

And three-quarters of them want me.

Look. If there's anything
you've learned from your mother,

it's to respect yourself.

That, and that we have
a lot more to offer.

- Way more.
- Mm.

Yeah?

Like what, Mom?

What else have we got? Tell me.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

We're nothing but hollow shells.

That's all they want from us.
That's what we take advantage of.

And I'm not doing a thing I haven't
learned from the best there is.

From Pamela, Paris, Kim...

And from you, Mom.

I learned from you. You're
the best in the game.

[ICE CUBES RATTLE]

[JOSÉ LUIS] As much as you
insist and try to convince me

with all the tools in your
box, which are quite a few,

I can't issue you Cruz's pension.

It isn't possible.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Of course you can do it.

You were his lawyer.

It's impossible. Period.

Impossible?

A word thrown around by the foolish.

[SCOFFS, INHALES SHARPLY] Look,
Carmen. I can't and won't do it.

Although I suppose this means
you won't want to see me anymore.

[CHUCKLES] Let me see.

The contract I signed
with your father and Cruz

said that I would receive my
pension under the stipulation

that I would stay away from my child.

Wasn't that written in our deal?

That's right.

Very well.

Then, if there won't be a pension,

there's nothing to
stop me from seeing him.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC GROWS SOMBER]

Joel.

Joel?

- This came for you.
- [JOEL GRUNTS]

[SIGHS] f*ck.

YOUR FUTURE YOUR FRIEND, IVÁN

[GUY GRUNTS]

[GUY GROANS]

[EXHALES]

What's that? [SIGHS]

[SNIFFLES]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Just explain it to me.

[JOEL] What do I have to explain? Huh?

Dalmar, can we have
the room to ourselves?

- Go talk in your own room.
- Come on, man.

[SIGHS] I'm going out. Not
letting you ruin my day.

[OMAR] Well?

[DOOR CLOSES]

Look, um... I don't know
when I first thought about it.

But I applied, and that's it.

[OMAR] Without telling me?

Oh, do I have to ask permission
if I wanna be anything more

than just a pizza guy?

[OMAR TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

And how you gonna pay for it?

With a scholarship.

A scholarship?

You found a scholarship and
a school and told me nothing?

I didn't in case I didn't get in.

Okay. If you have the
money, go to another school.

- [JOEL SCOFFS] What? Why?
- There's a f*ck ton of good schools.

- Don't go to Las Encinas.
- Why do you care if I go there, Omar?

Why would I have to give up the
best school if they want me there?

[OMAR SIGHS]

- [CLICKS TONGUE]
- [SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

So, you studied there.

You've told me about the state
school you went to for a year.

Was that a lie?

[SIGHS] Well, then.

I hid the fact that I applied,
and you hid that you studied there.

We're even.

I never told you 'cause
that place f*cked me up.

Hurt me and people I loved.

[OMAR SIGHS]

Joel, don't go there. I'm begging you.

Look. I don't know what
happened to you there.

Or what happened to those
loved ones that you mentioned.

[OMAR SIGHS]

But, f*ck. Not everyone who goes
to Las Encinas has a hard time.

So many success stories
walk out of there.

[SIGHS] I think it's unfair of you

to try to deny me the
chance to better myself.

And what if they f*ck you up too?

What if they don't?

What if, for the first time in my
life, I have a dream for the future?

Or that place can change you.

[SCOFFS] Omar.

I... I know who the hell I am.

Okay?

And I promise that nobody
will change me there.

[SIGHS] Look, I'll go.

And then I'll graduate. After
that, I'll walk out the main gate.

If you love me,

trust me and support me.

[TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Well, welcome.

[JOEL SIGHS]

Thank you.

Want a tour?

That'd be great.
