03x07 - Patriarchal Pact

Post by bunniefuu »

[woman] I was in Bilbao on a work trip,
when all of a sudden I got a message.

"Your weight is 114.
Excellent job, Marta."

"You've lost 18 pounds."

Okay? He f*ck her in our bed.

And she goes and weighs her dumb a*s
on my smart scale.

-[Luz] They're both idiots.
-[vibrates]

Assholes. But don't worry.

We're going to crush them both.

I can't wait. He's a total as*h*le.

She has the BMI of an 18-year-old.

It's not fair, you know.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-[Marta] No, it's not.

All that Marimar stuff is done now.

[Luz] You finally broke up?
Took long enough.

Well, basically. We live together,
but we talked it all through.

[Luz] So logical.

When you can't talk to a person,
you move in. I think you're scared of her.

They say to keep your friends close
and your enemies much closer.

Raúl, are you bullshitting me right now?

No, no. I wanna see you.

Hello.

-[Marimar] Hey, honey.
-Honey.

-Who were you talking with?
-Ah, with Diego.

-We have a meeting today.
-[both] Mm.

-But he can wait.
-[chuckles]

ALPHA MALES

Your stares are getting on my nerves.

Shh, quiet. You do you.

[Daniela] Let me be.
I'm minding my own business.

-Scrolling and wasting my life.
-[Tomás chuckles]

Take a look.

Okay, I'll tell you if I hate it.

Oh.

I haven't been drawn before.
It's really great.

Well, get used to it, my love.

[gasps] Gimme your hand!
The baby moved. Hurry.

-Oh!
-You feel it too?

-Yes.
-[both laugh]

[gasps] Another?

-No. [chuckles]
-No?

-[chuckles]
-You're magical, honey.

It's so amazing. [sobbing]

He was crying on me, girl.
Imagine if it was his for real. [exhales]

Don't let go. He's one in a million.

None like him in the market.

Well, I'm super idolized.

With Pedro, I felt like a trophy.
With Tomás, I feel like a Greek goddess.

I wanna change the kid's DNA, you know?

[laughing]

Oh, you deserve it. Honey, that's awesome.

I have an event tonight,
and I'm sad to leave him alone.

He should go.
So your followers see you together.

-[both] Mm!
-[gasps]

-Look at you!
-[Daniela] Mm.

What can I get, Sofi?

No Botox, no peeling,

no hyaluronic acid, no radio frequency,

no lasers or ultrasounds.

Don't worry.

I'll do it all for us.
You already look so beautiful.

-You have that glow.
-Mm.

[Cynthia] Oh!

Drainage for your lymph nodes? Hmm?

[scoffs]

[Santi] Hello, Irene. What's up?

What's going on?
Well, it's been a few days.

Uh, no, it's nothing.

I just wanted to ask, when do you think,

you'll be going public
with this thing about Darío

and that-- that it was a joke? [chuckles]

Uh, there's this video going around.
I say some stupid stuff,

and, uh, but I just
feel uncomfortable about it.

Stop messaging about this.
She's obviously left you on "read."

-For f*ck's sake, Álex.
-You won't see her again.

But she loves me, smart-a*s.

-You really believe that?
-[Álex] She's ghosting you.

[Santi] Hmm.

Where you going?

She can tell me
to my face if she's done. Hmm.

Santi, you're acting ridiculous.

[intercom rings]

Irene, I know
you've seen me on the camera,

and that's why you're not answering.

But you know, I'm not moving
until you come and talk to me.

I'm not kidding around.
I'll stand here outside.

I put a lot into this relationship.
This friendship.

And I want an explanation, you know?

-Santi! What are you doing here?
-Hey.

Ah, uh, nothing.

I was just passing by your place,
and I thought, "How is she?"

'Cause, well, I don't know
if you answered the messages.

It's 'cause I've been
so busy with the book.

I turned it in this morning.

-Uh-huh.
-I have my life back.

-Oh.
-I even went to buy groceries.

Oh. Well, okay. Congrats. Yeah.

I wanna celebrate. Let's go out tonight.

Okay. It's a plan, great idea.

All right, I'll send you the address.

Great. See you then.

What did you delete?

Huh? Oh, nothing.

I pressed the wrong thing
and then well, don't worry.

-[laughs] All right. Bye
-[laughs] See you.

Oh, she wasn't ghosting, you a*s.

She was busy writing,
and now she's done with her book. Hmm.

And guess who she wants to celebrate with.

Boom! She chose me. We're in love.

Oh, and tell your crazy mother. Hmm.

For me, poetry is like
a weapon of mass destruction.

It claws at your heart with its words.
It expresses the inexpressible.

It takes your demons
for a walk without a leash.

What's this about?

You're talking to no one.
Who would ever interview you, you b*stard?

…the spirit of my book,
The emptiness of human existence.

[exhales, bangs desk]

Effective immediately, I'm fired.

It's my word against hers,
and for some reason, hers is worth more.

I should have reported her first,
like you did.

I'm sorry, Roberto.

No, you're not,
because you could've helped.

-But listen, no hard feelings.
-Hmm.

[grunts]

[Roberto] Mm.

[Pedro] Good luck, dude.

All right. Well, I'll see you around.

Yes. I wanted to ask.
When do you wanna meet up?

-What now?
-I'm unemployed now and abandoned.

When you go out with the guys,
can I come with?

-They seemed really nice.
-Of course.

Well, we don't go out a lot.
At least, not anymore.

I'm sorry to leave you alone
with all these insane women.

I hope you last here.

[exhales]

Did you see it?

-We're in the newspaper.
-[laughs]

We wanna put it
on the wall in the writers' room.

ALPHA MALES
THE PATRIARCHY, ACCORDING TO WOMEN

Can you please explain
why I'm not mentioned here?

I am the creator
and an executive producer.

Uh, hang on a minute. I'll call you back.

Can you understand I'm trying
to save the series?

From me?

If people identify it
as a series for women,

using the perspective of feminism,

it will be difficult
to label it as sexist, which it is.

All right, then. Thanks for the favor.

It's bad if you're
associated with it, Pedro.

[exhales]

She won't stop until I leave,
but I won't quit my job for no b*tch.

-Patriarchal.
-I'd rather get fired.

And I'll take every single euro.

No, no. Tell someone.
You need to report her.

Santi, he can't
keep reporting his female bosses,

or people will figure it out.

So don't do that. You should threaten her.
Then she'll just stop, man.

Or you'll piss her off and get fired.

But you'll get your money.
And that's a win-win.

[scoffs, mutters]

[Luz] Marga, we won!

-Joaquín has to pay you 138,000 euros.
-[gasps]

Oh, yes!

Another Aperol Spritz for me over here.

-[man speaks Italian]
-[laughs]

That b*tch is so ungrateful.
I worked my whole life for her.

And because of me,
she got whatever she wanted.

Dad, whatever.

I'm gonna call my useless lawyer.

He'd better listen.
'Cause I will not pay him!

It's time to sell it, period.
Any inquiries?

Uh, I never posted an ad about it.
It made me too sad.

-Luis, and now this precious time is lost.
-Yeah.

Santi said we should renovate it.

If we spend 50,000 euros,
the value will go up by 30% too.

Oh, I know, like those reality shows,

where they work on old houses
and sell them for a fortune.

-Tell him yes.
-Sure. Where are we getting 50,000 euros?

The stupid bank, like everyone else.

Rack up more debt than we already have?

I'll call Ernesto and see what we can get.

I don't know. It's odd.

Like I'm prostituting
my childhood memories.

Luis, choose. Poor or nostalgic you.
Can't be both, dear.

[Luis sighs]

I would remove this wall here, right?

Maybe you'd lose a room,
but you'd gain a bunch of light.

Hey, which one? My childhood room?

Okay, you should remove
this hallway because it's useless.

What you should do
is connect the spaces, okay?

But then we can redistribute everything.

-Yes.
-All right, this one goes into the trash.

-And this one as well.
-Hey, no, don't.

You can't throw out the kitchen clock.

But it's broken, Luis.

I'll get a new battery.

Honey, the storage is completely full.

-There's no more room for this stuff.
-It's not stuff. It's memories.

You can't throw out the medicine.
What are you doing? Come on!

Why use something that's so old?

-Well, but because--
-[Santi] Hi. Come in.

Good afternoon.

Who are those dudes?

-They clean up apartments for free.
-[gasps]

-Already?
-Yes.

[sighs]

Yogurt or kefir?

-Kefir.
-[exhales] Ah, you're great.

Ah, this way.

Raúl.

Hey, there.

-[Raúl] Hey, Rafa.
-How you doing?

Make it straight, okay? Keep it straight.

Huh? Uh, oh, sh*t.

-Hello. [laughs]
-I'm here with my girlfriend shopping.

-Mm. Uh, Marimar, Rafa.
-[Rafa] Ah.

-A friend.
-[chuckling]

-[Marimar] Nice to meet you.
-I never know. Go for hand or two kisses.

For me, kisses always.
The hand is for the queen.

[laughing]

All right, Rafa.

We met last year at Diego's party.

-A great one, yeah?
-[Raúl] Yes, it was good.

See ya.

I couldn't find you. Where were you?

-I found my friend Raúl.
-[gasps]

Adriana, my wife.

[Adriana kisses]
So you're the famous Raúl.

Marimar, my girl.

-[Rafa] Ah.
-How are you?

Gorgeous.

[chuckles] We just
moved in together recently.

Oh, I'm jealous.
I'm so done with this boring guy.

-[laughing]
-[Rafa] She's only with me for the sex.

-[laughing]
-[Marimar] Hey!

The four of us should hang out for lunch.

Oh, sure. We could do tomorrow.

-Tomorrow's bad.
-Oh, why?

We don't have plans.
Our house two o'clock?

For real? I mean, that's so nice.

-[Rafa] Text me your address.
-Yes. Yes.

-We'll see you.
-[both chuckle]

[Adriana] See ya.

Okay. That was so nice.

-They're lovely. Hmm?
-Mm.

-What event is this?
-[Daniela] Woman of the Year.

-Some awards.
-Have you been nominated?

[Daniela] No. It's so unfair,
but I have to go.

-I'd love for you to come with me and--
-I'll pass.

I avoid all those meaningless events.

Okay.

I mean, I know it's your job,
and I respect you,

but you know I wouldn't enjoy it.

-Photo shoots are absurd and humiliating.
-[Daniela] I guess it's absurd.

-Humiliating? Hmm.
-All those people dressed up like idiots.

Posing and smiling as if they were happy.

Just to show off

and get all those likes
on their social media,

so their self-esteem
doesn't vanish. Pathetic.

Okay. Mm.

Okay, well, stay. No worries. [chuckles]

-You're not upset, are you?
-[Daniela] No.

[both laugh]

-I'll go be absurd.
-[both laugh]

[Tomás] Uh…

[both chuckle]

[man laughing]

What's up? What? Huh?

-Huh?
-Huh?

Nothing. Just a meme someone sent me.

[Santi] Oh.

Hmm.

[man laughs]

You got a moment?

[Santi] Huh?

Oh, my gosh, Santi. Hmm.

What is this?

-[Santi] 'Cause we're going to f*ck you!
-[crowd yelling]

No, no, it's not what you think, I swear.

-What? Were you drunk, dude?
-[Santi] No, no, no.

You don't know.
It's okay. It's-- I guess-- it is me.

No, it's true. But I was pretending
to be Darío Infante, an incel.

But I was helping out my friend
with her book.

Um, it's okay. We don't care about that.

Wait. I'm not fired?

No, dude, no.
The two of us had a good laugh. Yeah?

[laughing]

[Nerea] Oh, Santi, Santi.

-[Santi] You're all a bunch of wh*res!
-[chuckles] I know.

-[laughs]
-[crowd cheering]

So they discover that one
of their employees is misogynistic.

And he incites mass as*ault,
and they're fine with it?

But what kind of company do I work for?

You're upset because they didn't fire you?

Well, will you resign? Simply quit?

-I have values, but I also have to eat.
-[cell phone chimes]

[Roberto] Pedro, what are you doing?
You wanna grab a drink?

-I'm not feeling well.
-Should I tell him to join us?

Pedro, he's a womanizer and a creep, okay?

Look, the poor guy got divorced.
He feels alone.

All right, I also felt alone
when I got divorced,

but I wasn't moping around,
being obnoxious.

He only asked if she wanted to.
We've all done that.

-I've never done that.
-[Raúl] I know.

[Santi] Do you understand
what you're doing?

A patriarchal pact.

Same old sh*t.

The feminazi really does it for you, yeah?

A patriarchal pact. Is this new?

No, but it's an implicit agreement
for men to cover up for each other

when we f*ck things up with girls.

If you invite Roberto, I'll just go home.

I don't care, okay? Doesn't matter.

Does it really bother you
to have a beer with this dude?

-Not like we're his accomplices.
-You should shut your mouth.

Because what you're doing to Marimar
is hiding his true intentions.

A patriarchal pact.

Look, I'm serious about Marimar,
and we're living together, as*h*le.

But are you in love with her?

[Raúl] Love's a strong word. I like her.

Are you still seeing Luz?

Yeah, it's romantic anarchy.

-Why are you living with the other girl?
-[Raúl] Because she moved in.

But I'm liking it. My house feels nicer.

It feels nicer?
Marimar's not some furniture.

Maybe you should focus on her
and just forget about Luz.

Forget about Luz? She's Luz.

-Digging your own grave.
-[phone rings]

[Raúl] You never agree with anything I do.
You don't support me.

-You're not supportable.
-[Raúl] Not telling you anything.

-He storms off to avoid paying.
-[Raúl scoffs]

[Luz] I'm at rock bottom.

I'm this close to downloading Tinder.

Oh, f*ck. Well,
if you're having problems now.

Sucks for the rest of us.

I have an event for an awards ceremony.
Wanna come with me?

I know it's not the best plan
in the world, but…

Yep, I'll come along.

I wanna go too.
It would be good to get seen.

Uh, mm. It's just
that I only have a plus-one.

Oh, so how come you didn't ask me?

You seem like you're doing okay.

Okay, but next time I'm joining you.
'Cause I am really unhappy.

I'm worse off than this one.

[chattering]

[Irene] I was freaking out.

-[laughing]
-Irene. Hey.

Hey, Santi! Mwah! Mwah!

Right, this is Lucía, David, Elena.
These are my friends.

-Santi. He's another friend.
-Hey. Hi, hi. Pleasure.

What's up, dude?

-We got shots! [laughs]
-Whoa!

-To getting your book published.
-Whoo!

-Here you go. Cheers!
-[laughing]

-[woman] Yeah!
-[laughing]

-[camera shutters clicking]
-[photographer] Hi. Over here!

-[jazz music playing]
-Hey there.

[photographer] Over here!

Thank you.

[reporter] Lovely.

Thanks.

-[reporter 2] Daniela, hi.
-Hello, hi.

-[reporter 3] How's it going? How are you?
-I'm doing well. Thanks. Loving my belly.

-[reporter 3] Yes.
-Yeah.

-How's Pedro handling your new boyfriend?
-It's going well.

We're still friends so he's happy for me.

So, when are
we going to meet your new guy?

[reporter 4] Hmm?

-When he's out of his cage.
-[all laughing]

-Thank you. Thank you. Bye.
-Thanks. See you later.

-Oh, wow, so is this your life?
-Yeah.

-[sighs] Here you go.
-Oh.

[cell phone rings]

-Oh.
-[gasps]

Seriously, you have nothing better to do
than watching this live?

Don't lie about us or I'll kick
that little guy's a*s tomorrow.

I'm trying to make you look
like a nice, deconstructed guy.

What do you see in him? I don't get it.

He isn't a competitor,
doesn't treat me like I'm stupid,

and he reads me Neruda before bed.

He's just a p*ssy.

[presenter] When she was 26,

she made the Forbes list

of the 50 most influential women
of the present year.

She has revolutionized
several industries such as travel,

eco-friendly energy and ride-sharing.

Our Woman of the Year is Paz Artigas!

[upbeat music playing]

-Did you know about this?
-No.

[Luz sighs]

Thanks. Oh, my gosh. Woman of the Year.

Wow. [laughs]

I'm not even doing anything
that extraordinary.

I'm a restless soul. That's true.

But when you're serious and you work hard,
it's impossible not

to make something work out.

If I serve as an example

for one of you to take the leap
towards your dreams,

that's great. Um… [inhales]

Life is way too short
to be plagued by doubts.

So you have to pursue all of your dreams

and forget about love,
which is out of our control.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

-[upbeat music playing]
-Thanks.

-Well, what should we do?
-Mm.

A milestone for us.

-Let the algorithm decide.
-[chuckles]

[dramatic music playing on TV]

Oh, hey, I had a thought. How about since

we're having people tomorrow,
invite some of my friends too?

They're very nice, two married couples.

Isn't that a lot though?

But I want to introduce you to them.
I already know yours.

Isn't it better if we were
to go out to a restaurant?

Like mine, for example?

The tasting menu is so amazing.

But that'd be too formal. I want it here.

I already invited your friends over.

Rafa. You have his number?

It was in your phone.
You know I have your password.

But why did you put him
in your phone with an eggplant emoji?

For a joke. I know other Rafas.

-And why did you speak to Luz?
-To who?

This morning at 11:37.

Oh, yes, right.
I remember now. It was nothing.

I needed Rita's leash

'cause we have joint custody of her,
you know?

We need to talk about her.

I don't like
that you still have that in common.

Plus, Rita is staying with us.

Well, we'll talk about it.

-[Iris] Mom.
-Yes, honey.

Do girls not like to have sex?

-And who told you that?
-It was Grandpa.

He told Ulises to never get married.

And to sleep with as many women as he can.

But, Dad.

[Iris] I told him I wanted
to have sex a lot as well.

[Esther] Mm.

And he told me that girls don't like to.

-Girl, you're a snitch.
-I'm a boy.

Boy, you're a snitch.

-[Esther] Well, Grandpa is wrong. Hmm.
-[Luis] Hmm.

You see, girls also like to have sex.

-And we can go for longer than men can.
-Uh. Uh, Esther.

We have more orgasms.
They have one and fall asleep.

What Mom is trying to say to you is

boys and girls, when they're older,
can have as much sex as they wanna have.

As long as there is love
between you, respect and consent.

The thing is Grandpa's
from another generation,

and he sometimes says things
that are a little patriarchal.

[Ulises] The patriarchy doesn't exist.

It was invented
by feminazis that hate all men.

Come on, Dad.

I didn't say that to him.
I don't even know what he's talking about.

Luis, hmm, your father is a terrible
influence on the kids, you see?

He's making Iris' mental predicament
even worse by being so sexist.

And Ulises, my gosh,

he's indoctrinating him
when he's most hormonal.

-Okay, Esther, I know, all right.
-[exhales]

He's totally gone insane
over 138,000 euros.

I'm trying to deconstruct him.
Things like this take time, hon.

But, Luis, sexism is like a cancer.

When it's this advanced, there's no cure.

-You can only help them through it.
-[exhales]

I think your father needs
a retirement home now.

But I feel sorry for him.

You care about everyone but us.

[sighs]

-[rock music playing]
-[chattering]

Santi. Santi.

You're going?

Yes, I have to get going. Hey, no worries.

Have a great time

and congratulations.

Santi! Santi.

[exhales] Come on.

Don't leave yet. Don't do this.

Uh, Irene, I don't know anyone.
I don't know.

What's going on with you?

I love you.

Me too.

No, I love you in the most possessive
and sexist way in existence.

I want to marry you
and buy a house together.

And I wanna have kids and get divorced

and fight over their custody
and over the house. I want it all.

I want the whole f*cking fairy tale. Hmm?

Santi, you're really a great f*cking guy.

You're intelligent,

sensitive

and funny too.

And as a boyfriend, I know you're a ten.

All right, so what's the problem?

I don't know.

[scoffs]

[exhales]

[pop music playing]

[Daniela] No, it's a boy.
After all that, it's a boy.

And I'm so shocked
because I kept calling her Anaïs.

So now I'm going through this kind of
weird mourning period, you know?

[all laughing]

[Paz] So, what?
You won't say congratulations?

Congratulations.

Why are you here?

-A friend asked me to come with her.
-Oh, sh*t, she's hot. Introduce me.

-Uh, sure, yes.
-[Paz] No, I'm just joking, you idiot.

[laughing]

Luz, I miss you.

Me too, but we both want different things.

Well, this is my final offer.

I'll let go of the wedding
for exclusivity. Hmm?

Can you not accept a no?

I can't do it. I'm so pissed off.

And what do we do with the office?

I don't think we're gonna want
to own a company together.

Why not? If it's going well?

-Yeah, but we--
-No, Luz, no. You're the best.

You're successful,
and I'm going to get rich with you.

Wanna dance?

-What? No.
-No? Why? Are you embarrassed?

-Maybe a bit.
-Oh, thank you.

I said no.

-Come here. [laughs]
-[Luz] But--

[Luz] Mm.

Do you really not wanna be together?

That's just a tragedy.

-All right, suppose this is true love.
-Mm.

Wouldn't you rather end it now
before it's ruined?

If you're wanting me
to tell you I love you, don't expect it.

I'm not gonna beg you.

But who are you? How dare you come
into my life and turn it upside down.

Come on, who do you think you are?

Woman of the Year.

[laughing]

I'm really dying to kiss you.

Mm. No, everyone
is watching what we're doing.

Yeah, that's why I want to.

[Paz] Luz. Luz, wake up, girl,

or it'll get cold.

[Luz groaning]

What? What did you get us?

Open it and see, because I don't know.

I don't know what I got. Mm, yeah.

-Hmm. [chuckles]
-Take a look.

[Paz gasps]

Oh, look, it's a ring.

You know, this is
much better than the last one.

-Hmm?
-Yeah, I thought you…

you said that you should
chase your dreams and not love.

And what if my only dream
is to marry you? Hmm?

[sighs]

Come on, Dad. Your life will go on.

-Hmm.
-I'll open Tinder for you again.

A few nights out will help you.

I don't want any casual sex.

Respect my mourning. [groans]

I need to go through this alone.

No bandages.

Why?

I'm going to bed.

At 11 in the morning?

TWENTY LOVE POEMS AND A SONG OF DESPAIR

-Excuse me, sir. The lady's here.
-[gasps]

[Pedro] What do you mean a natural birth?

-At home in water.
-In the bath?

Well, no, it's a special tub.
It won't fit in my place.

I don't know.
Shouldn't you go to the hospital?

Have you ever heard of obstetric violence?

Well, I mean, kind of, yeah.

The hospital's personnel
can treat you bad.

Or they give you a Cesarean without
previous consent or explaining why.

I assume they have their reasons.

To avoid any hassles.

[woman] Giving birth requires
a great deal of time

and positions that
are often not respected.

Injecting oxytocin into you
to speed up your birth

is also obstetric violence.

Or separating mother and baby.
Not letting the mother touch it.

You're well-informed. Aren't you, Tomás?

[woman] In natural childbirth,

the dilation process is done
how it should be done.

We wait for her water
to break spontaneously, without stress.

[Daniela] They do it in other countries.

We're behind the times over here.

Or it's 'cause their healthcare is free.

There's no shaving,
no enema, no episiotomy.

[laughing] Well, she already shaved there.

And the position
I give birth in is my choice.

It seems a risk that's unnecessary,

but you'll do whatever you want to anyway.

Sorry, I have to head out.

Please, don't worry.
Daniela will be monitored at all times.

[Tomás] All four of us will be here
in case anything happens.

Oh, so he's gonna be here?

[Daniela] Mm.

Awesome.

Oof. He's got an energy.

-Yeah. [chuckles]
-[chuckles] The little rascal.

[laughs, kisses]

-[dramatic music playing, g*nf*re on TV]
-Go.

Yes, yes, do it. [chuckles]

Yes, sir. [chuckles]

-[Luis] Dad.
-You know, I love Gary Cooper, yeah?

You don't get men like that anymore.

-[TV turns off]
-Why'd you do that?

They were about to attack those redskins.

Uh, first off,
I want you to remember that, uh,

I love you so much.

[exhales]

And even though you're sometimes
an old sexist man, well…

[exhales] …I'm so happy
that you're my father.

Should I be worried?

No, God damn it, just listen for a moment.

-Luis, you're a man. Real men don't cry.
-[sobbing] All right.

You have to go to a retirement home.

And are you gonna pay for me to go there?

Well, yeah, if we can afford one.

Right, okay. [clears throat]

I think this one's great.

It's got a pool, golf,

a private room
where I can watch television.

And very young pretty nurses.

Go ahead. Call them. Call them.

Why were you looking at this though?

Thank you, son.

-I couldn't take this anymore.
-[grunts]

[Joaquín] Aww, my boy.

-[woman] It gets a lot of light.
-Yeah, it does.

-Shall I sit here?
-Wherever you want.

-Okay.
-I'll go there.

How far along are you, Reyes?

-[Reyes] We're due in two weeks.
-Wow.

That's wonderful. Are you nervous?

-Not really, this is my fifth one.
-Oh!

You serious?
They should build a monument for you.

[woman] I've got seven.

That's a shitload--
I wanna congratulate you. Hmm?

-Family is everything to us.
-[Raúl] Exactly, Pelayo.

-[Marimar] And here's some salad.
-Mm.

-[Pelayo] What about you guys? Kids?
-[Adriana] Uh, two.

Ah! Oh, my God.

Hurry up, Rafa. [laughs]

What are you waiting for? You have doubts?

-No doubts. Everything is clear.
-[Rafa] Mm.

[Marimar] Bless us, Lord,
and bless this food that

through your infinite blessing,
we are about to eat.

[Rafa] Oh.

Father, we want to thank you
because you care for us and feed us.

And we want to remember today
those girls and boys that go hungry.

-Amen.
-[all] Amen.

[Reyes] You speak so well.

[Marimar chuckles] How kind.

Here.

-I washed all the salad for you, okay?
-[Reyes] Oh, thank you.

[knock on door]

It's good to knock before coming in.

But the point is
to wait until you get a reply.

[sighs] Virginia, we need to talk.

-I know.
-[sighs]

What you're trying
to do has a name. Mobbing.

It's difficult to work this way.

Boy, for an alpha male,
you are so sensitive.

So, you either start respecting me--

Or what?

Roberto committed suicide.

[both] What?

-[Bea] He was living in a guesthouse.
-[vacuum whirring]

-When the maid came in for room service.
-[shouts]

She found him in the bathroom,

and he hung himself with a scarf.

There's no f*cking way.

[typing]

You're all good.

-The personal loan is approved.
-[gasps] Oh, thanks, Ernesto!

-You're wonderful. [chuckles]
-[Luis] Hmm.

A 50,000-euro renovation.

What about the retirement home? Huh?

We won't see a dime
until we sell the property.

Well, we'll pinch our pennies then.
For what? Just a few months.

Esther, we're in debt,
and we already have lots of bills too.

Oh, don't worry.

We can rely on my acting career.

-I'm gonna be the next Penélope Cruz, hmm?
-Uh, sweetheart--

You'll see what I mean
once Alpha Males is out.

-[Luis sighs]
-[squeals]

[Reyes] I'm not saying
I'm against feminism.

But I want to be able to stay at home
without feeling judged or attacked.

What's wrong with being
a stay-at-home mom, really,

and taking care of the kids?

It is truly the most beautiful job
for a woman.

No, that's-- that is great.

-But it's a risk, you know?
-[Marimar] Why?

Giving yourself to a man and serving him
doesn't mean you're worth less.

[Pelayo] Not at all.

[Adriana] What if it goes wrong?
Your husband wants a divorce?

[Marimar] But for Catholics,
marriage is for life.

-[Rafa] What if he dies?
-It's the restaurant. Sorry.

-What are you doing?
-I got your signal.

What signal?

Oh, no. Go back down there with your wife.

-I wanna suck you off. Come on.
-Rafa, get back or I'll yell.

Well, I saw your signal. Hmm.

Hmm.

Yeah?

-[Luz] What are you doing?
-Oh, just hanging out.

Do you have time to meet?

I'm going to the restaurant.

The health inspector showed up.
Who knows why.

-Mm!
-That's too bad.

[Reyes] Does that happen a lot?

[chattering]

I love you.
You saved me from a horrible lunch.

Why couldn't we just meet up
at your house? I don't have much time.

[Luz] Mm.

-Oh, beautiful. Are we going or not?
-Raúl.

I'm engaged.

To the biker girl?

Mm-hmm.

-But I don't understand.
-Yeah.

I thought you said that--

Yes.

You'd never…

We've gotta stop seeing each other.

Luz, you've already tried monogamy,
and you hated it.

[inhales] When I was straight though.

Ah. Yeah. Yeah.

[Pedro sighs]

Sorry, dude.

There was no way
you could know he would k*ll himself.

I didn't answer the phone. I don't know.

Maybe if we'd talked.

Why couldn't we just have
one beer with him?

Poor Roberto. He's a victim
of the new masculinity.

Ugh, sorry. But more lives
are claimed by toxic-ness. Hmm?

Because more men k*ll
themselves than women.

-Men don't see therapists.
-[Luis] Hmm.

But of course,
it is sexist not looking for help.

[Luis] Our psychologist is great.

You want her number?

I broke up with Irene.

Were you guys serious?

I reject this modern life. It's sh*t.

Nobody falls in love. Ugh!

Tell that to Daniela.
She doesn't know that.

Falling in love with someone who doesn't
fall in love with you is a calamity.

We need to match up
biologically or something.

I'm an idiot.
And we weren't even doing bad.

But, well, I would rather
be her friend than nothing.

Santi, you're never gonna be friends.

-Do you think so?
-Big family.

No, I do think it's a great family,
and he's really nice.

[chattering continues]

Ah. My love.

-How are you? Are you okay?
-[Raúl] Yes, it's under control.

-I'll put this away.
-[Marimar sighs]

-[Reyes] Sounds fun…
-[Marimar] Uh…

[chattering]

What's wrong?

Luz is engaged.

And who's Luz?

The love of my life.

[Rafa] Oh, I'm sorry.
