01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

Greta.

I saw you were online. Can you talk?

Yeah, yeah. Go ahead.

He didn't sign in
at the police station yesterday.

And it doesn't look like
he's going to the greenhouse.

If he continues this,
he'll end up arrested again.

He'll pull through. Sergio is a survivor.

I don't know. Everyone's abandoned him.

Cabrera talked to you?

No, I haven't heard
from him since yesterday.

But he must be happy.

He's been looking for an excuse
to end this project for so long.

And Sergio's giving it
to him on a silver platter.

He only cares about finding Noa,
and if he can't do that,

he won't care
where he finishes his sentence.

I think I can help him.

Greta, don't let anything happen to him
until I get back, please. Okay?

Bye.

Morning.

Good morning.

I made some coffee.

Okay.

- Was that a call from work?
- Yeah.

I said I'm not going in today,
I'm taking the day off.

Good morning.

Good morning, honey.

Mm.

I really missed you.

But I'm going to make up for it.

What if we all skip work and school today
and go do something together,

just the three of us?

Mm. We can't do that.

Sure we can do it.

I'm going to. I mean, I've done it.

No, Noa has classes.

And a concert.

A concert?

I'm pretty nervous about it.

But Dad and my teacher insisted.

But that's wonderful.

Why don't you stay here,
and I'll help you practice?

No, we can't do that, Ana.
I have a meeting with Noa's teacher.

Fine.

Well, forget it.
I mean, if we can't, then we can't.

But we can have breakfast together,
and then we'll all go to the school.

Sergio.

Sergio, I know you're there.

Certified mail.

I had to find a new job

because the neighborhood's so boring
now that you don't go out.

Even if you don't wanna open it,
you've been informed now.

Last warning.

You know what'll happen
if you mess up again.

Back to the center.

Understood?

Yeah.

The next time I ring your doorbell,
it'll be to bring you in.

What's wrong with that guy?

That doesn't look good.
I'll check his heart rate.

sh*t.

Yes, who's this?

What do you think you're doing?

My job. Is that a problem?

You're harassing Sergio,

and if he feels cornered,
he can be dangerous.

If he gets violent, that's on him.

Rules are meant to be obeyed.

And promises kept.

Or have you already forgotten
what we agreed yesterday?

I always keep my word.

Then leave all those
crazy ideas to your boss.

About the big bad drug labs
and Sergio the martyr.

Listen, when all of this is over
and the doctor is gone,

her position will go
to the smartest one, you know that.

Sergio is a criminal, not a survivor.

Two very different concepts.

His heart rate is sky-high.

What?

- Here's your camera.
- Yeah, thanks.

- I'm following him.
- No. No, no, no. Mikel, don't.

He saw your face already,
and we can't risk him seeing you again.

Don't worry, I'll keep my distance.

Or maybe... maybe Cabrera's threat worked,
and he's going to the greenhouse.

Greta.

Mikel, don't.

He's not taking the bus.

Yeah, I see that.

- Where is he going?
- I'm not sure.

I think that's him.

There he is.

He's entering the subway.
We're losing him, Greta.

We'll wait for him to exit
then follow him with cameras.

Okay, well call Cabrera, at least.

Ana left me in charge while she's gone,

so it's my decision
and we are not calling Cabrera.

That's f*cking great.

Come on, come in.

Careful, careful, careful.

Don't open your eyes.

Now wait here.

And no peeking.

I won't peek.

Now?

Okay, now.

Wow!

It's so cool.

Not the typical 640-square-foot
flat we get in the office, right?

The owner is a painter from a good family,

and, well, he got tired
of the artistic life,

so he's leaving to live
in a chalet with a pool.

What do you think?

It's... very you, right?
Like, very bohemian.

Except for that painting...

...everything else is great.

What's wrong with the painting?

Better, right? That looks straight.

It's horrible.

But yeah, it's straight.

If you like it,
it could be ours, you know.

What?

- What is this?
- I mean, I don't want to pressure you.

Just think about it,
that's all I'm asking.

I mean, the flat is great.
It gets good light, it's in a good area...

Marta. And besides, the painter
is pretty desperate to get rid of it.

You sound like a real estate agent.

Ah.

Listen, if it's... if it's the... painting,

I'll give it up for you, okay?

I mean, to hell
with contemporary art, huh?

Well, I've gotta go, okay?

- What's the rush?
- She's not in any rush.

She's embarrassed
to be seen with her parents.

Ah.

Weren't you, at her age?

Don't know.

Morning.

Wait for me.

- Hey.
- Oh, hi.

Morning, Luis. Hey.

- Morning, Beñat. How are you?
- I'm good.

We're gonna get some breakfast,
wanna join us?

Sorry, we actually can't right now,
we have a meeting with Edurne.

About the concert?
A shame we won't be able to make it.

But let us know how it goes.

- See you later.
- Bye.

Beñat.

- Hi, Edurne.
- How are you?

I'm good.

How's Noa? How's she doing?

- She was really nervous.
- Really?

Yeah. She spent the whole night
practicing and studying.

- Poor thing.
- Yeah.

- She's going to do great, though.
- You think?

- Yeah.
- Should we start the meeting?

Yeah, sure.
Sorry, my office is always such a mess.

- Let's see.
- I'll help you.

- Thanks.
- No worries.

Don't know where
all these papers come from.

Well. I'm glad
that you managed to come today.

Yeah, I managed to get away.

Yeah. Well, Beñat told me
that you're always very busy, right?

- Yeah.
- Mm. Yeah.

He also told me
you're a psychiatrist.

I studied psychology.

Well, uh, we're here
to talk about Noa. How is she?

Uh, well. She's doing well.

- Mm, her performance dipped quite a bit.
- Mm-hmm.

Since when?

I mean, it's been quite a while.

She's distracted, she's lost confidence...

Edurne, I think
she should hear it from you.

Noa is really bright,
and she participates well,

but... she just...
She hasn't been herself lately.

Beñat and I had a hard time convincing her
to play at the concert tonight, right?

- Yeah.
- Even though music is her passion.

How is she acting differently?

Beñat and I think that it might have
something to do with Sergio's release.

She told me that before living with you,
she was adopted by Sergio Ciscar's family.

Noa also told her friends.

They're teenagers, it's normal.

Their friends are
the most important thing.

I talked to Beñat,

and, well, we think
it'd be beneficial for Noa

to talk to a psychologist
here at the school.

They're completely professional,
and they would be able to help her to...

Excuse me.

Who are you to certify that this person
is really qualified to help my daughter?

Ana.

Edurne just wants Noa
to be able to overcome this.

Beñat and I have spent a lot of time...

f*cking.

- Right?
- What?

"Edurne says." "Beñat thinks."

You seem very familiar.

You talk like that
with all the parents at this school?

- Ana, please, stop now.
- Huh?

Well, uh...

I think it might be best
if we set this aside for now.

- Right?
- Yeah. I think so too.

Ana, wait!

Ana!

- Ana!
- Don't touch me!

- What the hell was that?
- You know perfectly well.

I have no clue. No clue!

I just know you need
to apologize to both of us.

Tell me there's nothing between you two.

There is something.

Our daughter, Noa, that's what.

The only thing that matters.

I'll apologize to her for you.

Beñat!

I'm sorry.

LOADING NOA'S CONVERSATIONS

NOA'S CHATS

DAD

SHE MESSED UP AGAIN, RIGHT?

TYPING...

IT'S OKAY. FOCUS ON TONIGHT'S CONCERT.
THAT'S WHAT MATTERS.

- IS SHE COMING?
- I DON'T KNOW, I THINK SO.

I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE THE BEST.

DECLINE - ANSWER

Why didn't you pick up earlier?

- Ana, Sergio ran out this morning.
- What?

He entered the subway,
we lost the signal, and well...

Mikel wanted to follow him,
but I didn't let him.

Fine. Great. And Cabrera?

He's not here.

Okay, if he comes
and starts asking questions, lie.

He can't know anything about it.

Greta, I can't come in right now.
I'll be there as soon as I can.

Just don't lose him, please.

Hey, Ana, one more thing.

Did you say anything
to Cabrera about the laboratories?

No. I didn't say anything.

I don't know how, but I think he knows.

Greta, don't trust Cabrera.

He's not there to help us.

I'll be there as soon as I can.
What matters now is Sergio, okay?

Gotta go. I'm sorry.

Okay.

He's at his grandparents' house.

Let's go.

There you go.

You're on the terrace.

You should make the most
of this nice weather. One second.

You look very handsome today, sir. Mm?

Wait here for a minute,
I'll be right back.

Grandpa.

You remember me? It's Sergio.

I expected you yesterday.

I... I reserved the court
so that I could play.

But as usual, you just did
whatever you felt like doing instead.

I missed the game.

Yeah.

I couldn't make it.

Noa didn't tell you?

Who's Noa?

Your granddaughter.

I'm very angry with you.

You didn't come yesterday.

And I was waiting for you.

I waited until it was dark.

Um, hello there.

Hello. I came to visit Chema.

He's a good family friend.
I don't mean to bother you.

Mm. Oh, on the contrary.

He likes having visitors,
isn't that right?

Funny, he was just telling me
about how much he misses Noa.

His granddaughter?

It's been a long time since she came.
But she does call him every week.

sh*t. Not again.

What the hell are you doing here?
Get out. Leave or I'll call the police.

Adela, take my dad inside, please.

- I just wanna talk to Noa.
- I told you already.

I said I don't know anything.

She was a disgrace to this family.

Because of you.

- I don't want trouble. I mean it.
- Then leave or I'll call the police.

They gave us a number in case you came.

Hey, wait.

I'll make you a deal.

If you give me Noa's number,

I'll give up Grandpa's inheritance.

How do I know you're not lying?

I never lie. Never.

No, you only do worse.

You get me her number...

and I promise
that I will never bother you ever again.

And this house will be yours.

Come, come, sit.

The celebratory meal is a sacred ritual
and eating it cold would be a sin.

I wanted to bring a dessert.

Wanna see it?

Nah. I don't have a sweet tooth.

You're gonna like it.

Later, later.
Now, the important thing, clams or crab?

I prefer clams, but I'll pass.

Really?

Well, there's no better way
to pass the time here.

When you told me about how
Doctor Dussuel had disappeared somehow,

and Sergio didn't show up
at the police station to sign in,

I decided to take action.

I made a couple of calls, and it's sorted.

That psycho will be sent back
to the center tomorrow,

and this ridiculous experiment
will finally be over once and for all.

And they say justice is slow.

Mm.

Are you sure
you don't want any of this crab?

No, first I want to have dessert.

Greta, Dussuel's second-in-command,
is so desperate to get her boss's job,

that she'll do whatever we say.

And, as a sign of goodwill,

she gave me the only evidence recovered
that links the laboratory with all this.

So tell me, now do you have a sweet tooth?

Cheers.

Don't be scared.

Do you know the story of Judith?

She was a Jewish heroine.
From the Old Testament.

She was a...

very strong woman.

Like you.

She sacrificed herself
at the right moment to...

to gain her own freedom,

and that of her people as well.

Guided by the Lord,

Judith realized

that she had to be brave.

And she had to enter the chambers

of a terrible Assyrian general,
Holofernes.

And once she was there,

she had to fulfill all his desires.

Now, these may not be
the chambers of an Assyrian general...

but the situation is exactly the same.

In that car, there's a person
with the power to change your future,

and, of course, ours.

Mm... I don't... I don't get it.

Oh, "I don't get it."

The man in there
is the manager of social services.

He is the only one who can help you

to change this rather complicated
record of yours.

Aren't you going to obey the word of God?

Just one last sacrifice and that's it.

You'll be the queen of your future.
Go, go, go.

God.

This isn't Eneko's style at all.

He's much more classical.

It looks like
he's trying to make you happy.

I don't know.

- I'll think about it.
- Sure.

I will say one thing, though.

If he agreed to this, he's going all out.

But obviously, it's your decision.

So you have nothing to add, Juanma?

What should I say?

It's her decision.

As soon as I hang up the laundry,
it starts to rain.

You think it's a bad idea
to live with Eneko?

The way things are looking now,
I think it's your best option.

Things are going fine.

If you mean Sergio, that's over.

As if it never happened.

I wish.

But it did happen.

And even if we forget Sergio,
everyone else...

I'll go help Mom with the laundry.

What a b*stard.

What is this?

Stealing from the boss?

Yeah. Caught me.

I'm a klepto. Yeah.

Sergio went out,
but so far no one else has.

That was the emergency?
Visiting his family?

Maybe.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

What are you really doing here?

Well...

You didn't come
because of the concert or for us.

The project is stuck right now.

So I'm stuck, too.

And I could only think
of one way to fix it.

I can't believe this, Ana.

You promised you wouldn't involve her.

You don't understand.
Sergio's also a victim here.

His relationship with his mother
bordered on abuse.

He needs to recover his emotional balance
and that, inevitably, involves Noa.

And it could even be a positive thing.
We can talk about it with her.

And if she agrees
and you say that it's all right...

Ever since you got obsessed with that boy,
I knew this was gonna happen.

I'm not obsessed.

Of course not.

I've also been lying to myself.

I tried to convince myself it wasn't true.

I let you convince me

that we had to go
and adopt that little girl.

- You regret it?
- Of course not.

Noa's the only good thing
that's happened to us in years.

That's why I'm not gonna
let you mess it up.

I've had enough.

The space is a little tight,

but I think we could probably still fit
a kitchen island in here.

We'd have no excuse not to cook.

You, cook?

You get stressed out
just by making a sandwich.

Well, then I guess
we'll just have to get takeout.

And that way, we'll have plenty
of extra time to do other things.

Hm?

Come look.

I think that we could
fit the bed right in there.

And the living room
is perfect for chilling out.

A sofa, movie, a blanket.

Oh, and also,
the building has a shared rooftop.

But nobody ever uses it,
so we could make it our spot to chill.

An umbrella, a lounge chair.

A mini fridge.

Hmm?

You wanna see it?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Oh, sh*t. I left the keys in the car.

I'll be right back. Hmm?

Okay?

- Wait for me?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Ready?

You're a son of a b*tch.

What is it?

You made a video of us f*cking,

so everyone would think
it was me and Sergio.

Why?

Why?!

How dare you bring me here?

You ruined my life.

Beñat, you have to understand this is
something I've given a lot of thought to.

And how much have you
thought about Noa? Huh?

Admit it, you only care
about Noa because of Sergio.

- That was very cruel.
- Yeah.

It hurts me more to have to say it.

It is true that Sergio's
become a personal challenge,

and, yes, from a professional
point of view, he excites me...

And sexually?

My interest is scientific.

I know about the letters
that you wrote to him at the center.

Pretending to be a fan. "Cristina."

I read those letters, Ana.

The feelings that you expressed there?
Those were your real feelings.

I'm gonna stay at the beach house,
with Noa, for a couple of days.

That should be enough time
for you to sort everything out

and get all your stuff out of the house.

Ana.

I want a divorce.

You're leaving?

Where are you going?

To see my sister. It's far.

That's why I need
to get this thing off me.

And I need Natanael's van.

He won't allow that.

He wants to keep us here.
So he can control us.

So he can use us.

Well, well, well, well!

If you'd told me,
I would've dressed up for the occasion.

The return of the prodigal son.

Too late.

I need to take the van.

Of course, anything else?

After all, we're nothing
compared to you, Sergio. You're special!

You know, lately,
I've been thinking about this quite a bit.

And I realized
you've been making a mistake.

Because we are all
what actually makes you special, Sergio.

Without all our fear, without our respect,

without our admiration and our care,

you know what you'd be? Nothing!

- Yeah, whatever.
- No, no, no. Wait, where are you going?

Tell me where.

Hey, calm down.

At least let me tell you
a story before you leave.

The one about the fallen angel,
one of my favorites.

The angel was
a being of light, magnificent!

Beautiful, he was
the favorite angel of our Lord.

That is, until eventually,

he succumbed to his pride and vanity.

So much so that...

he believed he was...
superior to even his own creator.

And that was
something the Lord...

did not like at all.

He decided to throw him out.

Our Lord could not permit

his favorite angel

to spread evil wherever he went!

And you know what, Sergio?

- Neither can I, Sergio.
- Emergency, how can I help you?

f*cking hell!

You little b*tch!

What the f*ck!

You are that angel.

Sergio!

If you took that off,
an alarm would have gone off by now.

You should go.

Quickly.

That which offends God, must be uprooted.

The fallen angel...

Silvia!

The fallen angel...

REBORN IN CHRIST ASSOCIATION

NOA, IT'S SERGIO! CAN I CALL YOU?

1 MESSAGE
NOA, IT'S SERGIO! CAN I CALL YOU?

HI SERGIO. I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
CAN I COME SEE YOU FOR A MINUTE?

NEW RECRUIT AT SOLCH PHARMA

Sergio's back at home.

But the tracker says
he's at the greenhouse.

He's at home.

He's not wearing the tracker.
He's gonna run.

- What are you doing?
- Calling Cabrera.

What's she doing there?

I'm Ana.

I'm Noa's mother.
