The Dad Quest (2025) Movie Script
Sir, your suitcase.
Hello?
Gallo, I need you to pick up Benito.
Can he spend the night at your place?
Please, I have
a very important dinner party.
The nanny's sick
and my mom's out of town.
Who is this?
Gallo, this is Alicia.
Don't say no, okay?
You haven't seen him for three months.
Can you be a dad tonight?
Gallo?
Hello?
Okay.
Can you pick me up?
What? Where are you?
At the airport.
What? Why do you want me to pick you up?
I can't drive, Alicia.
Why can't you?
I had some clonazepam for
I used too many drops.
No, Gallo, for real?
It's always the same with you.
My reflexes are off.
Call someone from your team to help you!
I'm not coming to pick you up.
Forget it! I'm not coming.
You know that stuff
thins your brain cortex, right?
Oh, come on. I couldn't sleep.
So, why did you go to Miami?
To Miami, why did you go?
I went to a TV trade show
and to pitch a new project.
- What?
- To pitch a project.
- Alright.
- What?
So how was it?
Terrible.
- You're picking up Beni, right?
- Yes.
- At five?
- Yes
What do you mean at five?
Isn't that too late for school?
He's at therapy, Gallo.
He has therapy. It's Tuesday.
I know!
What? I'm also his parent.
Great, because you're paying for it.
- I'll text you the location.
- Great.
So now that he's staying with you,
could you try to spend more time with him?
He said last time, you were meant
to help him with his homework but you
- Gallo!
- What's up?
"My neighbor stole my dog
and turned him into tacos."
Carmen's already done that.
Okay. "My son skips class
because of trap music."
- Morning.
- Good morning.
- Laura did something similar.
- Really? Okay, I have another one.
A woman sued her husband
because of his bad breath.
Good morning.
A bit of drama.
- Drama?
- Yes.
So if you want drama, we need a mother.
A mother belonging to the Opus Dei.
A mother from the Opus Dei.
She's sick. She's in a coma.
When she wakes up,
her daughter is now her son.
- Very good.
- Is it?
Save it for Easter.
- Okay.
- Okay.
The actors for today are ready.
Do you need anything else for the show?
- Sorry?
- Today's show, Gallo.
About the butcher, remember?
Right! Have the man's son wear a T-shirt
with a piglet face, something cute.
Make it read "Friends, Not Food."
Okay, a T-shirt with a piglet face.
"Friends, Not Food." Perfect.
See you later.
- Hi, Gaby.
- Good morning, Gallo.
Your host, Ana Patricia del Moral.
Zoom out, camera three.
THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
Zoom out a bit.
We have a meaty topic for the show today.
Camera two, follow Paty.
Eligio is a fourth-generation butcher.
One day, Eligio discovered
all his products had been covered
in green paint by a group of activists.
- Pan from dad to son.
- Zooming in.
In the middle of the group
and staring straight into his eyes
Zoom in on Paty.
Jos Mara, his own son.
- On the reaction.
- Let's give this family a chance
No audience this time.
to understand someone is
The best thing in the world!
Go with him!
Don Eligio, can you please tell me
when did this issue begin?
Well, before the paint incident
All yours.
He was ashamed of me.
- Hello?
- Aren't you picking up Beni anymore?
Or did you forget?
Do you really believe I would forget?
Do you really want me
to answer that question?
Okay, drop it. Anything else?
- Just don't be late. Please.
- Sure. Thanks.
Hello.
- Come in. Can you close the door, please?
- Sure. Sorry.
Benito, your dad is here.
- I'll be right back!
- Right.
Beni?
- Hi, Gallo.
- Ready?
I need to go first.
Okay, go.
- Hello!
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Good.
You remember me, right?
Do you remember me?
- Alicia's friend.
- Sure, yes.
- I'm Diana. Yes?
- Yes.
- Would you give me a hand with him?
- Sure.
He's just old, you know?
- Where's Benito?
- In the restroom.
- Great.
- Yes.
There you go.
Good boy! That's a good doggy.
- That boy is adorable, right?
- Yes.
Except for his little problem
- What problem?
- You know.
No, I don't know.
The reason why we bring him to therapy.
With his psychologist.
The reason why Alicia and I
decided to take him to therapy and
No, I'm his learning therapist.
I help him with homework.
Everything that has to do
with school, I help him with, but
It's been a year, Gallo.
I've been paying for this therapy
for a year, so
Actually, I noticed he's a little lazy
at school, so I was a bit concerned.
- Maybe he's doing better now.
- Why don't you ask him?
We're not going to talk about school.
- We're here to have fun, buddy. Right?
- I don't know.
- Tell your dad how you're doing at school
- Thank you.
- Nice to meet you.
- But we met before.
- Bye, Diana.
- Bye, Benito.
- Take care.
- Thanks, let's go.
RECOGNITION AWARD
THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
Come on, Gallo!
Weren't you clearing up my room?
It looks like a storehouse.
I really intended to. I'm swamped.
It's worse than last time.
I'll get it ready.
Do you want something for dinner?
- Yes, pizza.
- Okay.
- Go shower. I'll get dinner.
- Double cheese.
You can use my room, I'll stay here.
And pepperoni.
Is this for real?
- It's so good.
- It's awful.
I bartered
with the local Japanese restaurant.
It's real sushi.
- Gross.
- From Okinawa.
That teacher seemed nice, right?
A bit of a weirdo, but nice.
- What's up?
- What?
You're not eating?
I wanted pizza.
- You should have told me.
- I did!
Let's talk!
You talk to me, we listen
to each other and then I understand.
How's school? Good?
Good.
- So, do you have a girlfriend?
- No, but I like a girl.
- She's older, from fifth grade and is
- Hello?
- What's up, "Bolas"?
- What's up, Gallo?
- When are we closing the deal?
- Straight away.
- The concept is clear, right?
- Yes!
It's a reality show.
No, not an ounce of comedy.
Just like you, dude.
- What?
- No, not a problem. You trust me, Gallito.
Of course, I trust you. Listen, let's
No, let's knock it out of the park,
but like scoring from midfield.
There's no other way.
- Cheers, man.
- You too.
Hey.
Good luck with the girl, the one you like.
Okay, bye.
When you wake up,
you won't be angry
That's it, champ!
If someone walks in front of the TV.
You will understand
the value of sharing
your space with other people.
Here comes the magic. Hctor.
You will accept
that you're part of a community.
NEW MESSAGE
One.
CAN I SEE YOU TONIGHT?
Two.
I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
Three.
YES.
Wake up
now!
Hey!
Right on the dot, as usual.
- Is everything okay?
- Sure, fine.
- Nice place, isn't it?
- Yes, it's nice.
It's the only Okinawa-style sushi in town.
I talked to the owner
and got a barter deal. Three times a week.
Of course.
- Sorry, I skipped lunch. And I'm
- You're swamped. Yes.
How was your important dinner party?
It was good, very good.
- How did things go with Beni?
- It was amazing.
He's a great kid. Ana!
Would you be a dear
and bring a menu for the lady?
- Did you eat?
- No, but I'm not hungry.
- Just a small dish.
- No, I'm okay, thanks.
- Sure?
- Yes.
Let me switch this off.
It's driving me crazy.
The lady is popular.
Do you remember "Happiness"?
The agency where I worked for ten years.
Yeah.
They invited me to a reunion.
I wasn't going,
but I decided to go and I confirmed.
- So, now everyone is replying.
- That's good.
I never met anyone
from that agency, did I?
I asked to see you
because something important came up
during the dinner party.
What was it?
I was offered to lead the consultancy
in Madrid.
Great, that's awesome!
Yes
But I have to move there.
Are you sure you don't want any sushi?
With Beni.
I need to move there with Beni.
Yes, it's clear you must go with Benito.
Of course.
I always thought of taking him to Europe.
I think he's going to love Madrid.
Ana,
we will have a bottle of sake.
Cold or warm?
Warm.
What's in your chest, Gallo?
- Sorry?
- No, I mean, inside.
Is it tofu
or what is it, instead of a heart?
I don't get it.
I'm telling you
that I'm taking your son away
to the other side of the world.
And you talk about sake and sushi.
What the? What's wrong?
What's wrong with you?
What would you have me say?
That you can't take him?
I would like you to show a bit of heart.
Just a little bit.
You don't give a fuck.
Okay. So, should I get a lawyer
and stop you from taking him anywhere?
No, hey!
Thanks.
- Help me understand you.
- Understand what?
Why did you take care of Benito?
Here we go.
No, it's a serious question.
That's what we both wanted.
Did you expect me to leave you alone?
But he wouldn't always be waiting
for you to show up.
- Leave Benito out of this.
- We're talking about him.
No, we're not, we're talking about you.
You kept waiting for someone to show up.
I haven't expected anything
from you for years.
Great. We both expect nothing
from each other. The perfect relationship.
Do you love him?
- Seriously?
- No, I mean it.
Do you love him?
I work my ass off for his sake.
Why wouldn't I love him? He's my son.
Are you sure he's your son?
Excuse me?
What did you say?
I'm sorry. I meant nothing by it.
We'll talk later, okay? I need to go.
- We'll talk later.
- What?
I'm sorry.
Alicia.
Alicia?
Help! Call somebody!
Call a doctor!
She was always
the first one at everything.
Right?
I'm sorry for your loss.
When I was
When I was a bit older than you,
my
Buddy.
Everything will be okay, I promise.
- Elena.
- Grandma.
How are you, sweetheart?
I'm fine.
Your dad and I talked,
and we thought that the best thing,
for now, will be that you stay with me
for a few days.
- Is that okay?
- Yes.
You like grandma's house better anyway.
Right?
- Let's go. See you.
- Okay.
GENETICS LAB

Keep calm, ladies, keep calm.
- They don't look alike.
- Now, who will it stay with?
Yes, they're sisters.
Who does the kitten feel
a stronger emotional connection with?
Zoom in on her.
Close up.
Look how happy it is.
The kitten's fine, that's the key.

NEGATIVE PATERNITY TESAre we going off? Gallo?
Shall I cut to commercials?
Gallo? What do we do now?
Gallo?
Hi, sweetie!
- What are you doing here?
- Hey, buddy!
Grandma died.
What?
No, I came here to
Let's go and grab something to eat.
What would you like?
- I want burgers.
- Okay, no sushi.
- Let's go. Is everything okay?
- Yes.
- Really?
- Yes.
So, you want
a father and son conversation?
Yes.
It's very important
that you understand what I want to say.
It's like something that hurts,
but in the end, it's for the best.
Like
Like getting your shots, for example.
Did it hurt?
It hurt my arm a lot,
but after a few days,
it was okay.
But my arm was infected.
They were going to cut it off.
Okay, what I want to say
is like something that you need to get.
It might hurt, but it's for your own good.
It's like a vaccine.
Like a vaccine against what?
Against me.
What do you mean?
Come closer.
I'm not your dad.
That didn't hurt.
Alright.
So who's my dad?
I don't know that.
Your mom never told me.
But that changes nothing.
We can still see each other.
Of course it changes nothing.
You're not my dad anymore.
- Hi, sweetheart!
- Grandma!
Tonight, we have a stunning
and shocking case.
On the one hand,
we have Gabriel, aka Gallo,
a hard-working man,
father of a ten-year-old boy,
who just found out he's not his son.
On the other hand, we have Alicia,
the perpetrator of that lie.
Let's give love a chance,
because loving someone is
The best thing in the world!
So Alicia, tell us,
did you suspect that Gallo
wasn't Benito's dad?
I suspected it.
Dreadful.
- And why didn't you?
- Why didn't you tell me?
I wanted to have a child with you.
Why me?
Because I always thought
you were a good guy.
Things between us didn't work,
but driving you away from Beni
wouldn't protect him.
He needs you.
And I know that what I saw,
that extraordinary man
Is still there.
STRICKEN
Come in.
Ma'am, you have a visitor.
Oh, what can I do for you, Gabriel?
You wanted to see me?
- Thanks, Alison.
- Excuse me.
I don't have much time.
I have a meeting in five minutes.
Don't worry,
I don't have much time either.
I have things to do, but
Nothing we didn't talk again
after what happened.
And things haven't been easy.
I don't know if Benito
talked to you or said something.
No, nothing. Anything else?
What do you?
So, he hasn't said anything?
You didn't say anything?
I haven't said anything yet.
I didn't tell you anything.
So, tell me.
Nothing. I just wanted to say
that before Alicia
She she told me something.
And I had tests done.
- Tests?
- Yes, tests.
What tests?
What happened?
Kranky!
No, Kranky.
What happened?
- How did it break?
- I don't know.
If anything happens
to my girl, I'll fire you all!
No, it can't be.
- Hello, Gallo!
- What are you doing here?
Why aren't you at school?
Did you tell her?
No, I was going to tell her now
- I don't want you to tell her.
- Okay, okay. I won't say a thing.
I want to know who my dad is.
I need you to help me find him.
Listen, buddy
Hey
I know how much this means to you,
but it's hard,
and to be honest,
I don't know where to begin.
I do. Here.
- What's this?
- My mom's cell phone.
- What do you want me to do with this?
- Check it. There must be a clue somewhere.
This is what the password looks like
It's like a triangle, like a house.
Let's see, hey
Don't you want me
to talk to your grandmother
and ask her? Perhaps she knows something.
- Hmm! It's embarrassing.
- Yes, I know, but I have
Listen, buddy, I have a complicated day,
and I have my own problems.
- You have problems?
- Yes, I have problems.
I don't have a dad or a mom.
That is a problem!
- It's breathing.
- Call the vet.
Oh, sweet little thing.
Tell me where it hurts.
- Leticia
- You did that?
Yes, and I can do worse things.
Give her celery
to help her de-stress. Celery!
Hi Alicia, I'm back in town.
I know it's been a long time,
but I want to see you.
I'm writing my memoir
and you're inevitably a part of them.
I keep thinking of your beautiful body,
your eyes, your hands.
I want you to help me find the words
to describe our encounters.
I know I owe you
and I'm willing to take responsibility
for my actions.
I love you.
Wow, that's an intense message, uh?
Yeah, right?
Okay, I brought some walkie-talkies.
- Uh-huh.
- So, we can split
and communicate. This is for me.
- This is yours.
- Whoa, pink ones!
Who gave them to you?
You gave them to me
when they took my tonsils out.
That's what I'm saying they're good ones.
They're I don't know, good quality.
- Do they have a good signal?
- I don't know.
I never tried them. I'll try them today.
- Okay.
- I'll be Chunky, and you're Slicey, okay?
Good memory, right?
Detective Chunky,
calling Detective Slicey over.
Slicey here.
You have to say "over."
- Over, over.
- Okay.
Hey, don't leave the park. Okay?
- Okay?
- Okay.
Can you turn it on?
Let's go.
10-4, 10-4, you copy, Slicey? Over.
Yeah, sorry.
Mr. Chunky, 10-4. Copy
I don't think it's a good idea
to separate here in the park.
It's okay, Slicey, I'm fine.
Hey, can I ask you something? Over.
Ask away, Mr. Chunky.
Did you know that you weren't my dad
when I was born?
Over.
No! No, no! I didn't know!
Over.
So, why didn't we ever celebrate
Father's Day?
Over.
Buddy,
that's a US capitalist invention for kids.
Mr. Chunky, 10-4.
Benito?
Benito?
What's up, Benito? Where are you?
- Is it genuine?
- Mm-hmm!
Answer me.
Hey, buddy! What's going on?
Do you like it?
Yes.
Yes, yes, I have
Nothing, that's
That's his mom.
It's so nice to meet you!
You have her gaze.
- Sorry, sorry.
- Ah.
Federico Alcntara.
I painted her.
- Gallo.
- Gallo.
They call me "Gallo," I'm the
Come with me.
- I would love to show you something.
- Yes.
Honey!
Let's go.
- Excuse me.
- Go ahead.
Wow!
- Yikes!
- Amazing!
I thought Alicia was
the only one of her species, but
Sorry.
Federico
Nothing, Benito and I
Looking at the paintings, it's obvious
that you and Alicia had
a close relationship.
She was my muse.
I could paint her over and over again,
and every time she was
like a different person.
Your mommy had a very
complex beauty, son.
I'm sorry,
but I'm just very excited
that you're here.
No, it's okay.
You're pure light, Benito!
Damn it!
- You're pure light!
- Yes.
Yeah, he's pure, pure light.
- He's pure light.
- Yes.
Listen, Benito and I
Uh nothing, we want to know
Nothing Benito and I want to know if
You slept with my mom.
You brought the kid all the way here
to ask me if I slept with his mom?
- With my wife in the living room?
- No. Well kind of, yeah.
I want to make it very clear that Alicia
was only my inspiration,
my muse and nothing else, okay?
Is it clear?
Yes, nothing else.
This is disrespectful.
I'm angry.
The world is turning to shit
because of pornography.
- Uh?
- Social media.
Because you're all
stuck to your cell phones.
You're killing the last neurons
you have left
by perverting them.
You're turning into robots!
Do you know what this rotten world needs?
- What?
- Art.
I've always been persecuted by the stigma
of my art being linked to perversion!
What do you see when you see a woman?
- What?
- Her body?
I don't, I see her essence.
I don't see naked women!
No, I don't!
Do you see a naked woman, kid?
- A naked woman?
- Hey, I'm sorry.
This is not a bed,
"chicken," this is a temple!
It's a temple! It's a temple!
- Run!
- The subject is not the father.
I repeat. The subject is not the father.
Copy.
CASA ALCNTARA ART GALLERY
Come on!
Come on!
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
The door
Hey, the door
Hey, hey, what's going on, Sony?
You open the door with one hand,
and you close it with both.
You open it and you're saying,
"I'm here, I'm here."
And you close it saying,
"You'll never see me again."
But guess what?
I'm back, but I'm leaving. Okay?
Ready, let's do it. Feel it! Come on!
Alicia was in the 2009 Master Class group.
What do you want to ask?
Buddy and I are going on a journey
through his mom's story,
and he wants to know more and more
Things like who she was with and all that.
Hmm. Yes, sure, I get it.
We heard a message, somewhat private
that you sent her and nothing
It caught my attention.
It said, "Hot, baby, hot."
"Haha."
What do you need to know?
Basically, what kind of relationship
you had with her.
We had a very, very good relationship.
She encouraged me to move forward
after my accident.
We were very close.
Alicia was the best thing
that happened to me.
I met her when I was at my peak.
For Broadway, on the pony, succeeding, uh.
But it turned and I was distracted.
I fell and broke both knees.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
Turned where or what?
The pony
A pony turned and I fell,
and broke both knees.
Oh, sorry!
I thought it was a metaphor
Sorry, please continue.
Well, we spent a lot of time together.
She helped me a lot.
She encouraged me to give dancing lessons.
- Hmm!
- Yeah.
I never imagined it would be so amazing.
It's like building a legacy.
Passing on knowledge has no comparison.
Yes, passing on knowledge
has no comparison.
Now that you mention your legacy
That is, we want
Yes, I know what you want.
What we want, both of us.
- I know what you want.
- Oh, do you?
Yeah, ever since you walked in.
I saw it in
His gaze.
That flaring gaze.
The way he walks.
You and I are going to close the circle.
And I'm willing to pay the debt
I have with his mom.
We'll begin a children's course
at the end of the month.
We would love you to join.
It's so nice, so nice
to see someone starting out in dancing.
And if you want to bring someone,
we'll obviously do it two for one.
Yeah, we're searching for something else.
- Nothing, we just want
- Come on, Gallo, he's told us.
I'm talking to him
- Thank you.
- He's got the enthusiasm.
- Yes.
- I can see it in his gaze,
he's got the enthusiasm, he's got it.
Hey
He's not my dad.
Listen, Chunky,
we must be more professional.
I get that there are things
that don't add up.
But we have to bring it down a notch.
I don't want a dad that fell off a pony.
Not even you have ever fallen off a pony.
Yes, I know, but parents
You don't pick them, you just get them.
Can we search for this one
who's hugging her?
Let's see.
What?
Erik Rubn, the singer, isn't your dad.
- Why not?
- He's going bald, look at him.
I'm going bald.
You can't be going bald!
You're ten years old.
Listen, buddy,
I understand you're going through
a hard time. Okay?
But it will pass.
I'll tell you something people say.
They say that when your head is sad,
hair goes on vacation.
So, our duty now is to make the head smile
so that hair grows back. And that's it!
And tomorrow, we'll go and look
for Erik Rubn. Deal?
- Okay.
- You like the idea?
- Yes.
- Give me five.
Oh, give me a good one.
What was that?
How do you know Erik will be here?
He was recording a show in that studio,
so, I'm going to try and enter.
You stay here.
If you see him come, you warn me.
- Uh-huh!
- Okay.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Imagine if I let people in
without an appointment.
- You get it? I can't do that.
- I get it.
But perhaps I don't need
to be on that list.
We're friends. We arranged to meet.
- Why didn't you meet elsewhere?
- I'm not a fan, I'm a producer.
- Gabriel Gaitn, does it ring a bell?
- Sir, your ID looks fake.
Detective Chunky calling Detective Slicey.
- Our subject is approaching in an SUV.
- Copy.
Thanks
for nothing.
See to that, please. Thanks.
Erik!
- Erik.
- What's up, bro?
- Hey, my man!
- Hello, I'm running late.
- I need to talk to you for a second.
- Back off.
- It's important.
- Live show, sorry.
Hey, back off! You can't enter.
Back off!
- Erik!
- You can't enter!
My phone, you idiot! You stepped on it.
What?
Back off.
What? No!
Don't worry, buddy. We'll figure it out.
- Okay?
- Okay.
But the man said it was ruined.
I know it's not the same.
But what do we have in that bag?
What's inside?
A phone with lots of storage
to download all the games you want.
Besides, what do I work for?
To cover all your needs.
I'm going to give you my cellphone.
No, I'm not giving it to you.
It has no battery.
I'll get you AirPods.
Now I don't have anything
to remember her by.
Listen.
We'll see about that.
Hot Pizzas, good evening.
Hi, I'd like to order a pizza.
We have the season special
with spinach and cold cuts
With pepperoni.
- With pepperoni, please.
- Okay.
And double cheese.
Yeah, and double cheese.
Good choice.
- Please hold in line.
- Hey.
Go take your shower.
- Are you paying cash?
- Yes.
- Home delivery?
- Yes.
I'll transfer you to get your information.
What's that?
- No way.
- What? Look.
Let's see.
Who is it?
- Me.
- How old, more or less?
- Three?
- A bit more.
- Three and a half?
- Exactly.
I want to show you this one.
Let's test your memory.
What happened that day?
I got my new bike.
I got some ugly bumps.
Exactly!
- Let's see.
- It was so cool.
Wait.
Excuse me.
- Hello?
- Gallo, what's going on?
I've been calling you.
- My phone battery died.
- I was worried!
I told you, I ran out of battery.
- Bring Benito over. It's a school night.
- Okay, thanks.
Your grandmother.
Come on. Hurry up.
Your grandmother is a neurotic.
She won't listen.
What's up, Gaby?
Hey, just to let you know
we're moving you to another set.
What did you say?
Yes, we're changing sets.
Do you think that's funny?
No, I'm not laughing.
I think it's funny to be
the last person to hear about this, okay?
I'm just letting you know.
Don't forget that you work for me.
- Okay, which set?
- That's irrelevant.
Can't I know which set?
- Relax, Gallo.
- I'm relaxed.
- Hey, don't yell at me. Calm down.
- I'm not I am
- I have to go.
- Gaby!
Gaby!
I'm kind of swamped
and I'll have a hectic day.
We'll talk to Diana about it.
What if you asked her?
But without her knowing.
They're watery.
- Two unicorn milkshakes?
- Yes, thanks.
- Very kind of you.
- It looks good.
- Hi!
- Hctor!
- It's so good to see you!
- How are you?
- It's been a while. How are you?
- I was just passing by.
What a surprise! Have a seat.
- Have a seat.
- Thanks.
Sorry, this is Hctor, a good friend.
Hctor, Diana. Diana, Hctor.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
You feel relaxed.
Very relaxed.
Your muscles begin to feel
profoundly lethargic.
Let me in
and let my voice guide you
to the
Deep
What the hell? He was about to touch me!
- He was going to touch me. Why?
- I'm sorry, Diana.
Gallo, if she doesn't cooperate,
I can't do it.
- He tried to poke my eyes.
- Calm down.
Hctor, please.
This won't do.
- I'm sorry.
- I can't work like this.
What do you mean you can't work like this?
You're cursing me. Don't look at me.
Look at him.
Can you explain this?
- Sorry.
- Are you kidding me?
I apologize. I hired him
because things are complicated.
- Benito and I
- Do you know who my dad is?
You're joking, right?
Stop this, Gallo.
Alicia confessed it before the accident.
I had the test done and yes, it's true.
The DNA test was negative.
He's not your son?
I swear that Alicia didn't tell me.
No, no, she never told me.
Well, imagine how I feel.
And how Benito feels.
- Gallo, I don't know
- We need your help.
The last thing we had
was Alicia's cell phone,
which I dropped and got smashed.
There was the last evidence.
Okay.
I'm going to think about it.
And you brought that man for this?
- You made him do this
- I'm sorry.
- He almost poked my eye.
- I'm sorry. Apologize.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
No, you truly went overboard.
You're so uncreative, both of you.
How did you expect me to know?
- Good night.
- Yes?
Gabriel Gaitn?
What's this?
I'm just the delivery guy.
This is not any kind of reconciliation.
My wife forced me to do it,
and Alicia would've liked
her son to have it.
Sincerely, Federico.
VOICE MESSAGE
I don't know what's going on with you,
but you're neglecting your work.
You should evaluate your priorities.
Do you believe he wanted to hurt you?
No, to be honest, I don't know.
There are evil people in the world.
I can't speak for him, but
He's talking about me.
However, nothing justifies the harassment.
The harassment?
What did you do, Gallo?
No, I just approached him and I
What can I say, bro?
If you're watching, go to therapy,
life can be better.
I forgive you.
Thanks!
Sorry, but it's not just anything
that he's forgiving you, uh?
To be honest.
- Coffee?
- Oh, no. Water.
- Tea, have some tea
- Water.
This tea will align your chakras.
- Something like that, I can't remember.
- Water is fine.
- Just water? Sure?
- Yes.
Well, I called because
I was going over it
again and again and again
And I believe I know who the dad is.
Who?
- The psychologist.
- The psychologist?
Alicia's psychologist.
Are you saying that Alicia
was involved with her psychologist?
I'm saying that the psychologist
gets involved with all his patients.
That's great.
Great work ethics,
the psychologist
sleeping with his patients.
Sorry.
So
So
Hmm if it's not him,
he should know,
because Alicia told him everything.
But this disgusting manipulator
moved to Tepoztln, I don't know when.
Thank God, I don't have to see
his stupid face.
No, you do have to see his stupid face
because you must find out what he knows.
No, I'm sorry, we need to
find out what he knows.
No, listen, no, hmm
This isn't easy, Diana.
I've got the kid, I've got work.
I can't not go to work.
I have to be there.
And nothing, perhaps
Nothing, perhaps I have to
let go and have a
A feminine figure to help me out, to
To
let go, to help me out.
No, I get it. I get it. I really do.
I didn't know it was being so hard.
- No, yes.
- I see.
Pato,
Do you find math easy?
- No.
- No, right?
- No.
- What about you?
- No.
- Hmm.
And if it's not easy,
why don't you send me,
for example, to school to take your exams?
Why don't I do your homework?
Why don't I go to Tepoztln
and you pay me for it?
And you can forget about it.
Because life gave me math
to solve problems,
Diana, not to run away from them.
If I'm wrong, correct me.
No, you're not wrong.
- Do you want some coffee?
- No sugar. Thanks.
Shall we go to Tepoztln?
- Thanks.
- Let's go to Tepoztln.
So, what are you
going to say to him or what?
The truth.
Or what do you want to say?
I don't know. Psychologists are not meant
to reveal their patients' secrets.
Hey, what if we use mentalism?
- What?
- Mentalism.
If you touch your mouth
and then your heart,
you're sending him a message
asking to say the whole truth.
- Oh, wow.
- Mouth-heart?
How?
Okay, let's try it or what?
It's like a weird sect, but you can say
Well I want to see you there.
- Hello.
- "Hello."
"Who's my son's dad?"
- And what's in Tepoztln?
- What?
What's in Tepoztln? I don't remember.
- In Tepoztln there are
- Hippies.
- Hippies.
- Lots of them.
The Tepozteco site.
Some people claim
to have seen UFOs up there.
- Says who?
- No, they do exist.
Yes, I saw one at eleven.
When I was
- Why are you laughing?
- No, no.
- For real.
- Yes?
I want to go too.
If you don't believe,
you don't want to go.
- Okay.
- On three. One, two, three.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Okay, okay, okay. Excursion?
- For real?
- Yeah.
Long live the party
Long live the party
Long live the party
And UFOs
WELCOME TO TEPOZTLN
- Wait.
- What?
No, too late.
- Hi! What's up?
- Hello.
Uh is Canek here?
We have a few questions to ask him.
Oh, no, impossible.
He's meditating and he actually asked me
that nobody bothered him.
Meditating? At this time?
Yeah, okay, whatever. Listen
We've come a long way.
We've come from Mexico City and wanted
to ask him about a former patient.
Her name is Alicia Ugalde.
- Ali? Who?
- Alicia Ugalde.
No idea, to be honest.
It's not something
we can discuss at the doorstep.
I don't know if
Perhaps if you
Open the door and let us talk
to him for five minutes.
- It's working.
- Oh, no, that's embarrassing.
Sorry, listen
What we want to know is
if he slept with Alicia,
because he always has
quite intimate relationships
with all of his patients,
so perhaps he's the dad.
- Well
- So, that's why we want to talk to him.
Why do you say
he has sex with all of his patients?
Uh? Doesn't he?
Oh, no, no, I'm not his patient.
Oh, no? Oh, sorry.
- What? Who are you?
- I'm his psychologist.
Oh, I see, I see.
Since you're wearing his shirt.
That's why.
- Is that?
- I'm sorry, uh?
The problem is not with you.
- No, you can't come in.
- I'm sorry, I can.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Ouch!
Line up your chakras.
I know who your dad is, Benito.
His name is Enrique Vega.
And he is none other than
the owner of the agency "Happiness."
We can go and relax
because here it stinks of copal.
Please!
Well, what is copal?
- Is that a UFO?
- What?
That.
- It's a bird.
- Where?
- There.
- There.
Okay, so if it was, what would you ask?
What's your name?
I don't think they speak good Spanish.
How did Carmen Salinas invite them?
They were all actors.
They dressed them as aliens,
but they were all actors.
- All of them?
- Not all of them.
That can't be, that's not true.
What about the one that that
"Asshole, my hair, you idiot."
That's not it's not true.
In case you were wondering,
the werewolf too.
That's not true.
Yeah, I swear.
The only real thing, buddy,
are the feelings
produced by the stories we tell.
Uh?
In the end we all realize
that we're human beings. Hmm?
Tell us one.
- One what?
- A story.
- But, what about?
- You know a ton.
We're talking about things.
- I have one. I have a friend.
- Let's see.
A life-long friend
who only walked backwards.
- Why?
- I swear to God, he walked backwards.
How?
- Why?
- I don't know, he stood up, and
Ask me something, anything.
- What's your name?
- My name is Javo.
Another question.
- How old are you?
- I'm 37 years old.
Last question, okay?
What is the square root of 91?
He's getting back at you.
I haven't taught him anything like that.
What's going to happen tomorrow?
We're going to see the aliens.
No, leave it, leave it.
Are you sure?
I want to see the mountains
and the UFOs tomorrow morning.
Where's your friend now?
My friend?
He went on a trip and didn't come back.
I'll be out here if you need anything.
Okay?
Sleep well, buddy.
- He's asleep.
- Do you want some wine?
I believe "no" will never be
the answer to that question.
- Oh!
- Yes or no?
- Yes, I do.
- You never go straight to the point.
No, yes.
That's enough.
That's it, a little bit more.
- That's it, thanks.
- Geez!
That's it, thanks.
When I was a girl,
I always wanted some of these.
- Yes, they're
- Yes.
They're called Slicey and Chunky.
They're our alter egos.
- Cheers to those alter egos.
- Cheers.
Let me say one thing.
After this expedition,
I want my own walkie-talkie.
With a fancy name and all that.
- Like what?
- I don't know. You tell me.
You came up with them.
How did you think of them?
Those names sound
No, they're not
When Benito was young,
I made him some walkie-talkies
using cans of "Slicey" tomatoes,
and "Chunky" chunks of
Mushrooms.
- Great.
- I can't remember.
He loved them and
So everywhere he went,
he took Slicey and Chunky.
Can I ask you a question?
Like what?
Why did you distance yourself from Benito?
Geez.
Okay, first, I believe
it had a lot to do with the divorce.
And then, also the financial pressure.
And what else?
Alicia always tried
to talk to me about this and
To me, it just happened.
Sometimes I think that
I don't know. Perhaps Alicia
didn't find what she wanted in me.
- Maybe she found it in that agency guy.
- "Happiness."
I don't think so.
I don't know how but
I understand why you distanced yourself.
Not feeling is easier.
You believed your absence
would be better, and that hurt Alicia.
I don't know.
She never told me
why she left that agency.
Now I understand.
It was weird every time
she mentioned "Happiness."
For example,
she told me once about a party,
how it felt weird and uncomfortable.
- It's clear she was avoiding
- The party!
- What party?
- The party.
The party! Enrique will be there.
- Or
- Gallo, we've got it!
We need to find out
where the party is. Right, let's
- Everything okay?
- Yes, I need to take this.
- Excuse me.
- Sure, go ahead.
- Hello?
- Hello, Gaby, what's up?
I got the rights for Celebrities Sentosha.
It's a Japanese reality show.
It'll replace The Best Thing in the World.
Come again?
I'm canceling your show.
My legal team will contact you.
- Good morning!
- Good morning.
- There's coffee.
- I have a hectic morning.
I'm off to Miami.
- What?
- I have a big meeting this afternoon.
We're going to El Tepozteco.
Benito is getting ready
It might be my last chance. And I don't
I don't get it. You don't what?
- We're about to find him, right?
- Who?
His dad. I believe his real dad
can take him some other
He's your
Beni.
- I'm sorry.
- Benito, you and I can go. Don't wo...
Shit!
I'm sorry. I'm swamped.
I want to leave you the car so
You're leaving?
If the situation was different,
perhaps, I don't know
My show has just been canceled,
and I have to get a job.
Do whatever you have to do, Gallo.
- I have to
- Do whatever you have to do.
Thanks.
Hello.
Hello. I left Benito with his grandmother.
I hope you have a great flight to Miami,
and that you get the job.
We'll start boarding flight 702 to Miami.
Passengers from group one please show up
at gate number 6.
In a few minutes we'll call passengers
- from groups two and three.
- Hey!
No!
The one and only Gallo Gaitn.
What's up, Javo?
- How are you? Good to see you.
- Likewise.
It's been so long. Is everything okay?
- Everything's okay. You?
- Good.
- Good, good.
- Wow!
- Nice look.
- Miami, baby.
- Oh. Do you live there?
- Yes, with my family.
Oh, good.
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay, okay.
This is funny!
I swear, I swear.
Yesterday, only yesterday,
I was talking about you with
Nah! With some friends.
Oh!
"Jam ceque qui pieque."
- What?
- Things happen for a reason.
Hey, do you still do that walking
- backwards thing?
- No, I quit that.
Along with other things.
- Wow!
- But
I learnt a great deal from that, uh?
I learnt a lot.
- Oh, yes.
- Yeah, it's mind-blowing.
It's a journey.
You realize you're always
waiting for what's next. What's next?
The Kunene tribe says so.
We're always looking to move forward.
But when it comes to that
you must step back
And look at what was already there.
It's mind-blowing!
You realize that
almost always, what you want the most
you already have.
It's so revealing.
We're boarding
flight 702 to Miami.
Passengers, please show up
at gate number 6.
We're boarding
flight 702 to Miami.
Passengers, please show up
at gate number 6.
Gallo?
Are you okay, dude?
Thanks.
Oh! I'm glad I saw you.
Benito doesn't want to see you.
Listen, Elena. I wanted to tell you.
Understood.
See you, Gabriel.
And take care, you don't look well.
Not bad.

Terribly.

What's that stain?
Great tacos. Store bought?
So you're a big eater just like me.

- Very good.
Help yourselves.
There's enough for an army.
Honey,
she fell asleep.
My wife and daughter.
I'll introduce you later.
Make yourselves at home.
- Thanks.
- Benito.
He said, "Make yourselves at home."
Wake up.
It hasn't been long.
There it is!
He seems a well-rounded guy, right?
He has a daughter.
Why would he want another kid?
Once he gets to know you,
he'll love you best.
Yes.
Traveling.
I love it. I love to travel.
Well, who doesn't?
Yes, it's very gratifying.
Yes, for sure.
What's up, Benito? You're getting bored
in this adults' party, right?
Let me take you to a place you'll love.
You'll see. Can he come?
Yeah.
Come on. You'll see.
What do you think?
Look at this beauty.
It's the first Nintendo console.
- Really?
- It works perfectly. Yes, it does.
- Do you have a PlayStation 5?
- Yes, sure. I love it.
But I don't have anyone to play with.
You know, playing online
is not the same, right?
No, it's not the same.
Did you know Alicia Ugalde?
She's my mom.
Your mom?
I couldn't attend the funeral,
I'm so sorry.
I was out of the country when it happened.
We were all very sad
when she left the agency.
She made me
happy.
It made me happy to know a woman
like your mom existed in the world.
She was very special.
Why did you ask
if I knew her?
Benito said that
He told me he likes a girl.
From school?
From school?
He didn't say anything to me.
No, I don't know.
Ricky seems super cool, right?
You'll be able to see Beni, talk to him
- Yes.
- Right?
Yes, for sure.
It's okay to feel something.
To feel
Isn't a bad thing.
Yes.
Yes, it's okay.
I don't know if I should
Want me to stay?
Don't worry.
Tell him that I'll call him later.
Thanks,
for everything.
Ten four, do you copy, Slicey? Over.
Ten four, Beni I mean, Chunky.
I'm right outside. Is everything okay?
Benito, is everything okay?
Gallo!
- I'll beat you.

He's leaving.
What happened?
It wasn't him. Let's go home.
Do you want us
to look for Erik Rubn or not?
No, my hair isn't falling off anymore.
IN LOVING MEMORY
OF RODRIGO BELLO NOBLE
WITH ETERNAL LOVE AND GRATITUDE
ALWAYS WITH US
Hello?
Gallo, I need you to pick up Benito.
Can he spend the night at your place?
Please, I have
a very important dinner party.
The nanny's sick
and my mom's out of town.
Who is this?
Gallo, this is Alicia.
Don't say no, okay?
You haven't seen him for three months.
Can you be a dad tonight?
Gallo?
Hello?
Okay.
Can you pick me up?
What? Where are you?
At the airport.
What? Why do you want me to pick you up?
I can't drive, Alicia.
Why can't you?
I had some clonazepam for
I used too many drops.
No, Gallo, for real?
It's always the same with you.
My reflexes are off.
Call someone from your team to help you!
I'm not coming to pick you up.
Forget it! I'm not coming.
You know that stuff
thins your brain cortex, right?
Oh, come on. I couldn't sleep.
So, why did you go to Miami?
To Miami, why did you go?
I went to a TV trade show
and to pitch a new project.
- What?
- To pitch a project.
- Alright.
- What?
So how was it?
Terrible.
- You're picking up Beni, right?
- Yes.
- At five?
- Yes
What do you mean at five?
Isn't that too late for school?
He's at therapy, Gallo.
He has therapy. It's Tuesday.
I know!
What? I'm also his parent.
Great, because you're paying for it.
- I'll text you the location.
- Great.
So now that he's staying with you,
could you try to spend more time with him?
He said last time, you were meant
to help him with his homework but you
- Gallo!
- What's up?
"My neighbor stole my dog
and turned him into tacos."
Carmen's already done that.
Okay. "My son skips class
because of trap music."
- Morning.
- Good morning.
- Laura did something similar.
- Really? Okay, I have another one.
A woman sued her husband
because of his bad breath.
Good morning.
A bit of drama.
- Drama?
- Yes.
So if you want drama, we need a mother.
A mother belonging to the Opus Dei.
A mother from the Opus Dei.
She's sick. She's in a coma.
When she wakes up,
her daughter is now her son.
- Very good.
- Is it?
Save it for Easter.
- Okay.
- Okay.
The actors for today are ready.
Do you need anything else for the show?
- Sorry?
- Today's show, Gallo.
About the butcher, remember?
Right! Have the man's son wear a T-shirt
with a piglet face, something cute.
Make it read "Friends, Not Food."
Okay, a T-shirt with a piglet face.
"Friends, Not Food." Perfect.
See you later.
- Hi, Gaby.
- Good morning, Gallo.
Your host, Ana Patricia del Moral.
Zoom out, camera three.
THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
Zoom out a bit.
We have a meaty topic for the show today.
Camera two, follow Paty.
Eligio is a fourth-generation butcher.
One day, Eligio discovered
all his products had been covered
in green paint by a group of activists.
- Pan from dad to son.
- Zooming in.
In the middle of the group
and staring straight into his eyes
Zoom in on Paty.
Jos Mara, his own son.
- On the reaction.
- Let's give this family a chance
No audience this time.
to understand someone is
The best thing in the world!
Go with him!
Don Eligio, can you please tell me
when did this issue begin?
Well, before the paint incident
All yours.
He was ashamed of me.
- Hello?
- Aren't you picking up Beni anymore?
Or did you forget?
Do you really believe I would forget?
Do you really want me
to answer that question?
Okay, drop it. Anything else?
- Just don't be late. Please.
- Sure. Thanks.
Hello.
- Come in. Can you close the door, please?
- Sure. Sorry.
Benito, your dad is here.
- I'll be right back!
- Right.
Beni?
- Hi, Gallo.
- Ready?
I need to go first.
Okay, go.
- Hello!
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Good.
You remember me, right?
Do you remember me?
- Alicia's friend.
- Sure, yes.
- I'm Diana. Yes?
- Yes.
- Would you give me a hand with him?
- Sure.
He's just old, you know?
- Where's Benito?
- In the restroom.
- Great.
- Yes.
There you go.
Good boy! That's a good doggy.
- That boy is adorable, right?
- Yes.
Except for his little problem
- What problem?
- You know.
No, I don't know.
The reason why we bring him to therapy.
With his psychologist.
The reason why Alicia and I
decided to take him to therapy and
No, I'm his learning therapist.
I help him with homework.
Everything that has to do
with school, I help him with, but
It's been a year, Gallo.
I've been paying for this therapy
for a year, so
Actually, I noticed he's a little lazy
at school, so I was a bit concerned.
- Maybe he's doing better now.
- Why don't you ask him?
We're not going to talk about school.
- We're here to have fun, buddy. Right?
- I don't know.
- Tell your dad how you're doing at school
- Thank you.
- Nice to meet you.
- But we met before.
- Bye, Diana.
- Bye, Benito.
- Take care.
- Thanks, let's go.
RECOGNITION AWARD
THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
Come on, Gallo!
Weren't you clearing up my room?
It looks like a storehouse.
I really intended to. I'm swamped.
It's worse than last time.
I'll get it ready.
Do you want something for dinner?
- Yes, pizza.
- Okay.
- Go shower. I'll get dinner.
- Double cheese.
You can use my room, I'll stay here.
And pepperoni.
Is this for real?
- It's so good.
- It's awful.
I bartered
with the local Japanese restaurant.
It's real sushi.
- Gross.
- From Okinawa.
That teacher seemed nice, right?
A bit of a weirdo, but nice.
- What's up?
- What?
You're not eating?
I wanted pizza.
- You should have told me.
- I did!
Let's talk!
You talk to me, we listen
to each other and then I understand.
How's school? Good?
Good.
- So, do you have a girlfriend?
- No, but I like a girl.
- She's older, from fifth grade and is
- Hello?
- What's up, "Bolas"?
- What's up, Gallo?
- When are we closing the deal?
- Straight away.
- The concept is clear, right?
- Yes!
It's a reality show.
No, not an ounce of comedy.
Just like you, dude.
- What?
- No, not a problem. You trust me, Gallito.
Of course, I trust you. Listen, let's
No, let's knock it out of the park,
but like scoring from midfield.
There's no other way.
- Cheers, man.
- You too.
Hey.
Good luck with the girl, the one you like.
Okay, bye.
When you wake up,
you won't be angry
That's it, champ!
If someone walks in front of the TV.
You will understand
the value of sharing
your space with other people.
Here comes the magic. Hctor.
You will accept
that you're part of a community.
NEW MESSAGE
One.
CAN I SEE YOU TONIGHT?
Two.
I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
Three.
YES.
Wake up
now!
Hey!
Right on the dot, as usual.
- Is everything okay?
- Sure, fine.
- Nice place, isn't it?
- Yes, it's nice.
It's the only Okinawa-style sushi in town.
I talked to the owner
and got a barter deal. Three times a week.
Of course.
- Sorry, I skipped lunch. And I'm
- You're swamped. Yes.
How was your important dinner party?
It was good, very good.
- How did things go with Beni?
- It was amazing.
He's a great kid. Ana!
Would you be a dear
and bring a menu for the lady?
- Did you eat?
- No, but I'm not hungry.
- Just a small dish.
- No, I'm okay, thanks.
- Sure?
- Yes.
Let me switch this off.
It's driving me crazy.
The lady is popular.
Do you remember "Happiness"?
The agency where I worked for ten years.
Yeah.
They invited me to a reunion.
I wasn't going,
but I decided to go and I confirmed.
- So, now everyone is replying.
- That's good.
I never met anyone
from that agency, did I?
I asked to see you
because something important came up
during the dinner party.
What was it?
I was offered to lead the consultancy
in Madrid.
Great, that's awesome!
Yes
But I have to move there.
Are you sure you don't want any sushi?
With Beni.
I need to move there with Beni.
Yes, it's clear you must go with Benito.
Of course.
I always thought of taking him to Europe.
I think he's going to love Madrid.
Ana,
we will have a bottle of sake.
Cold or warm?
Warm.
What's in your chest, Gallo?
- Sorry?
- No, I mean, inside.
Is it tofu
or what is it, instead of a heart?
I don't get it.
I'm telling you
that I'm taking your son away
to the other side of the world.
And you talk about sake and sushi.
What the? What's wrong?
What's wrong with you?
What would you have me say?
That you can't take him?
I would like you to show a bit of heart.
Just a little bit.
You don't give a fuck.
Okay. So, should I get a lawyer
and stop you from taking him anywhere?
No, hey!
Thanks.
- Help me understand you.
- Understand what?
Why did you take care of Benito?
Here we go.
No, it's a serious question.
That's what we both wanted.
Did you expect me to leave you alone?
But he wouldn't always be waiting
for you to show up.
- Leave Benito out of this.
- We're talking about him.
No, we're not, we're talking about you.
You kept waiting for someone to show up.
I haven't expected anything
from you for years.
Great. We both expect nothing
from each other. The perfect relationship.
Do you love him?
- Seriously?
- No, I mean it.
Do you love him?
I work my ass off for his sake.
Why wouldn't I love him? He's my son.
Are you sure he's your son?
Excuse me?
What did you say?
I'm sorry. I meant nothing by it.
We'll talk later, okay? I need to go.
- We'll talk later.
- What?
I'm sorry.
Alicia.
Alicia?
Help! Call somebody!
Call a doctor!
She was always
the first one at everything.
Right?
I'm sorry for your loss.
When I was
When I was a bit older than you,
my
Buddy.
Everything will be okay, I promise.
- Elena.
- Grandma.
How are you, sweetheart?
I'm fine.
Your dad and I talked,
and we thought that the best thing,
for now, will be that you stay with me
for a few days.
- Is that okay?
- Yes.
You like grandma's house better anyway.
Right?
- Let's go. See you.
- Okay.

NEGATIVE PATERNITY TESAre we going off? Gallo?
Shall I cut to commercials?
Gallo? What do we do now?
Gallo?
Hi, sweetie!
- What are you doing here?
- Hey, buddy!
Grandma died.
What?
No, I came here to
Let's go and grab something to eat.
What would you like?
- I want burgers.
- Okay, no sushi.
- Let's go. Is everything okay?
- Yes.
- Really?
- Yes.
So, you want
a father and son conversation?
Yes.
It's very important
that you understand what I want to say.
It's like something that hurts,
but in the end, it's for the best.
Like
Like getting your shots, for example.
Did it hurt?
It hurt my arm a lot,
but after a few days,
it was okay.
But my arm was infected.
They were going to cut it off.
Okay, what I want to say
is like something that you need to get.
It might hurt, but it's for your own good.
It's like a vaccine.
Like a vaccine against what?
Against me.
What do you mean?
Come closer.
I'm not your dad.
That didn't hurt.
Alright.
So who's my dad?
I don't know that.
Your mom never told me.
But that changes nothing.
We can still see each other.
Of course it changes nothing.
You're not my dad anymore.
- Hi, sweetheart!
- Grandma!
Tonight, we have a stunning
and shocking case.
On the one hand,
we have Gabriel, aka Gallo,
a hard-working man,
father of a ten-year-old boy,
who just found out he's not his son.
On the other hand, we have Alicia,
the perpetrator of that lie.
Let's give love a chance,
because loving someone is
The best thing in the world!
So Alicia, tell us,
did you suspect that Gallo
wasn't Benito's dad?
I suspected it.
Dreadful.
- And why didn't you?
- Why didn't you tell me?
I wanted to have a child with you.
Why me?
Because I always thought
you were a good guy.
Things between us didn't work,
but driving you away from Beni
wouldn't protect him.
He needs you.
And I know that what I saw,
that extraordinary man
Is still there.
STRICKEN
Come in.
Ma'am, you have a visitor.
Oh, what can I do for you, Gabriel?
You wanted to see me?
- Thanks, Alison.
- Excuse me.
I don't have much time.
I have a meeting in five minutes.
Don't worry,
I don't have much time either.
I have things to do, but
Nothing we didn't talk again
after what happened.
And things haven't been easy.
I don't know if Benito
talked to you or said something.
No, nothing. Anything else?
What do you?
So, he hasn't said anything?
You didn't say anything?
I haven't said anything yet.
I didn't tell you anything.
So, tell me.
Nothing. I just wanted to say
that before Alicia
She she told me something.
And I had tests done.
- Tests?
- Yes, tests.
What tests?
What happened?
Kranky!
No, Kranky.
What happened?
- How did it break?
- I don't know.
If anything happens
to my girl, I'll fire you all!
No, it can't be.
- Hello, Gallo!
- What are you doing here?
Why aren't you at school?
Did you tell her?
No, I was going to tell her now
- I don't want you to tell her.
- Okay, okay. I won't say a thing.
I want to know who my dad is.
I need you to help me find him.
Listen, buddy
Hey
I know how much this means to you,
but it's hard,
and to be honest,
I don't know where to begin.
I do. Here.
- What's this?
- My mom's cell phone.
- What do you want me to do with this?
- Check it. There must be a clue somewhere.
This is what the password looks like
It's like a triangle, like a house.
Let's see, hey
Don't you want me
to talk to your grandmother
and ask her? Perhaps she knows something.
- Hmm! It's embarrassing.
- Yes, I know, but I have
Listen, buddy, I have a complicated day,
and I have my own problems.
- You have problems?
- Yes, I have problems.
I don't have a dad or a mom.
That is a problem!
- It's breathing.
- Call the vet.
Oh, sweet little thing.
Tell me where it hurts.
- Leticia
- You did that?
Yes, and I can do worse things.
Give her celery
to help her de-stress. Celery!
Hi Alicia, I'm back in town.
I know it's been a long time,
but I want to see you.
I'm writing my memoir
and you're inevitably a part of them.
I keep thinking of your beautiful body,
your eyes, your hands.
I want you to help me find the words
to describe our encounters.
I know I owe you
and I'm willing to take responsibility
for my actions.
I love you.
Wow, that's an intense message, uh?
Yeah, right?
Okay, I brought some walkie-talkies.
- Uh-huh.
- So, we can split
and communicate. This is for me.
- This is yours.
- Whoa, pink ones!
Who gave them to you?
You gave them to me
when they took my tonsils out.
That's what I'm saying they're good ones.
They're I don't know, good quality.
- Do they have a good signal?
- I don't know.
I never tried them. I'll try them today.
- Okay.
- I'll be Chunky, and you're Slicey, okay?
Good memory, right?
Detective Chunky,
calling Detective Slicey over.
Slicey here.
You have to say "over."
- Over, over.
- Okay.
Hey, don't leave the park. Okay?
- Okay?
- Okay.
Can you turn it on?
Let's go.
10-4, 10-4, you copy, Slicey? Over.
Yeah, sorry.
Mr. Chunky, 10-4. Copy
I don't think it's a good idea
to separate here in the park.
It's okay, Slicey, I'm fine.
Hey, can I ask you something? Over.
Ask away, Mr. Chunky.
Did you know that you weren't my dad
when I was born?
Over.
No! No, no! I didn't know!
Over.
So, why didn't we ever celebrate
Father's Day?
Over.
Buddy,
that's a US capitalist invention for kids.
Mr. Chunky, 10-4.
Benito?
Benito?
What's up, Benito? Where are you?
- Is it genuine?
- Mm-hmm!
Answer me.
Hey, buddy! What's going on?
Do you like it?
Yes.
Yes, yes, I have
Nothing, that's
That's his mom.
It's so nice to meet you!
You have her gaze.
- Sorry, sorry.
- Ah.
Federico Alcntara.
I painted her.
- Gallo.
- Gallo.
They call me "Gallo," I'm the
Come with me.
- I would love to show you something.
- Yes.
Honey!
Let's go.
- Excuse me.
- Go ahead.
Wow!
- Yikes!
- Amazing!
I thought Alicia was
the only one of her species, but
Sorry.
Federico
Nothing, Benito and I
Looking at the paintings, it's obvious
that you and Alicia had
a close relationship.
She was my muse.
I could paint her over and over again,
and every time she was
like a different person.
Your mommy had a very
complex beauty, son.
I'm sorry,
but I'm just very excited
that you're here.
No, it's okay.
You're pure light, Benito!
Damn it!
- You're pure light!
- Yes.
Yeah, he's pure, pure light.
- He's pure light.
- Yes.
Listen, Benito and I
Uh nothing, we want to know
Nothing Benito and I want to know if
You slept with my mom.
You brought the kid all the way here
to ask me if I slept with his mom?
- With my wife in the living room?
- No. Well kind of, yeah.
I want to make it very clear that Alicia
was only my inspiration,
my muse and nothing else, okay?
Is it clear?
Yes, nothing else.
This is disrespectful.
I'm angry.
The world is turning to shit
because of pornography.
- Uh?
- Social media.
Because you're all
stuck to your cell phones.
You're killing the last neurons
you have left
by perverting them.
You're turning into robots!
Do you know what this rotten world needs?
- What?
- Art.
I've always been persecuted by the stigma
of my art being linked to perversion!
What do you see when you see a woman?
- What?
- Her body?
I don't, I see her essence.
I don't see naked women!
No, I don't!
Do you see a naked woman, kid?
- A naked woman?
- Hey, I'm sorry.
This is not a bed,
"chicken," this is a temple!
It's a temple! It's a temple!
- Run!
- The subject is not the father.
I repeat. The subject is not the father.
Copy.
CASA ALCNTARA ART GALLERY
Come on!
Come on!
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
The door
Hey, the door
Hey, hey, what's going on, Sony?
You open the door with one hand,
and you close it with both.
You open it and you're saying,
"I'm here, I'm here."
And you close it saying,
"You'll never see me again."
But guess what?
I'm back, but I'm leaving. Okay?
Ready, let's do it. Feel it! Come on!
Alicia was in the 2009 Master Class group.
What do you want to ask?
Buddy and I are going on a journey
through his mom's story,
and he wants to know more and more
Things like who she was with and all that.
Hmm. Yes, sure, I get it.
We heard a message, somewhat private
that you sent her and nothing
It caught my attention.
It said, "Hot, baby, hot."
"Haha."
What do you need to know?
Basically, what kind of relationship
you had with her.
We had a very, very good relationship.
She encouraged me to move forward
after my accident.
We were very close.
Alicia was the best thing
that happened to me.
I met her when I was at my peak.
For Broadway, on the pony, succeeding, uh.
But it turned and I was distracted.
I fell and broke both knees.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
Turned where or what?
The pony
A pony turned and I fell,
and broke both knees.
Oh, sorry!
I thought it was a metaphor
Sorry, please continue.
Well, we spent a lot of time together.
She helped me a lot.
She encouraged me to give dancing lessons.
- Hmm!
- Yeah.
I never imagined it would be so amazing.
It's like building a legacy.
Passing on knowledge has no comparison.
Yes, passing on knowledge
has no comparison.
Now that you mention your legacy
That is, we want
Yes, I know what you want.
What we want, both of us.
- I know what you want.
- Oh, do you?
Yeah, ever since you walked in.
I saw it in
His gaze.
That flaring gaze.
The way he walks.
You and I are going to close the circle.
And I'm willing to pay the debt
I have with his mom.
We'll begin a children's course
at the end of the month.
We would love you to join.
It's so nice, so nice
to see someone starting out in dancing.
And if you want to bring someone,
we'll obviously do it two for one.
Yeah, we're searching for something else.
- Nothing, we just want
- Come on, Gallo, he's told us.
I'm talking to him
- Thank you.
- He's got the enthusiasm.
- Yes.
- I can see it in his gaze,
he's got the enthusiasm, he's got it.
Hey
He's not my dad.
Listen, Chunky,
we must be more professional.
I get that there are things
that don't add up.
But we have to bring it down a notch.
I don't want a dad that fell off a pony.
Not even you have ever fallen off a pony.
Yes, I know, but parents
You don't pick them, you just get them.
Can we search for this one
who's hugging her?
Let's see.
What?
Erik Rubn, the singer, isn't your dad.
- Why not?
- He's going bald, look at him.
I'm going bald.
You can't be going bald!
You're ten years old.
Listen, buddy,
I understand you're going through
a hard time. Okay?
But it will pass.
I'll tell you something people say.
They say that when your head is sad,
hair goes on vacation.
So, our duty now is to make the head smile
so that hair grows back. And that's it!
And tomorrow, we'll go and look
for Erik Rubn. Deal?
- Okay.
- You like the idea?
- Yes.
- Give me five.
Oh, give me a good one.
What was that?
How do you know Erik will be here?
He was recording a show in that studio,
so, I'm going to try and enter.
You stay here.
If you see him come, you warn me.
- Uh-huh!
- Okay.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Imagine if I let people in
without an appointment.
- You get it? I can't do that.
- I get it.
But perhaps I don't need
to be on that list.
We're friends. We arranged to meet.
- Why didn't you meet elsewhere?
- I'm not a fan, I'm a producer.
- Gabriel Gaitn, does it ring a bell?
- Sir, your ID looks fake.
Detective Chunky calling Detective Slicey.
- Our subject is approaching in an SUV.
- Copy.
Thanks
for nothing.
See to that, please. Thanks.
Erik!
- Erik.
- What's up, bro?
- Hey, my man!
- Hello, I'm running late.
- I need to talk to you for a second.
- Back off.
- It's important.
- Live show, sorry.
Hey, back off! You can't enter.
Back off!
- Erik!
- You can't enter!
My phone, you idiot! You stepped on it.
What?
Back off.
What? No!
Don't worry, buddy. We'll figure it out.
- Okay?
- Okay.
But the man said it was ruined.
I know it's not the same.
But what do we have in that bag?
What's inside?
A phone with lots of storage
to download all the games you want.
Besides, what do I work for?
To cover all your needs.
I'm going to give you my cellphone.
No, I'm not giving it to you.
It has no battery.
I'll get you AirPods.
Now I don't have anything
to remember her by.
Listen.
We'll see about that.
Hot Pizzas, good evening.
Hi, I'd like to order a pizza.
We have the season special
with spinach and cold cuts
With pepperoni.
- With pepperoni, please.
- Okay.
And double cheese.
Yeah, and double cheese.
Good choice.
- Please hold in line.
- Hey.
Go take your shower.
- Are you paying cash?
- Yes.
- Home delivery?
- Yes.
I'll transfer you to get your information.
What's that?
- No way.
- What? Look.
Let's see.
Who is it?
- Me.
- How old, more or less?
- Three?
- A bit more.
- Three and a half?
- Exactly.
I want to show you this one.
Let's test your memory.
What happened that day?
I got my new bike.
I got some ugly bumps.
Exactly!
- Let's see.
- It was so cool.
Wait.
Excuse me.
- Hello?
- Gallo, what's going on?
I've been calling you.
- My phone battery died.
- I was worried!
I told you, I ran out of battery.
- Bring Benito over. It's a school night.
- Okay, thanks.
Your grandmother.
Come on. Hurry up.
Your grandmother is a neurotic.
She won't listen.
What's up, Gaby?
Hey, just to let you know
we're moving you to another set.
What did you say?
Yes, we're changing sets.
Do you think that's funny?
No, I'm not laughing.
I think it's funny to be
the last person to hear about this, okay?
I'm just letting you know.
Don't forget that you work for me.
- Okay, which set?
- That's irrelevant.
Can't I know which set?
- Relax, Gallo.
- I'm relaxed.
- Hey, don't yell at me. Calm down.
- I'm not I am
- I have to go.
- Gaby!
Gaby!
I'm kind of swamped
and I'll have a hectic day.
We'll talk to Diana about it.
What if you asked her?
But without her knowing.
They're watery.
- Two unicorn milkshakes?
- Yes, thanks.
- Very kind of you.
- It looks good.
- Hi!
- Hctor!
- It's so good to see you!
- How are you?
- It's been a while. How are you?
- I was just passing by.
What a surprise! Have a seat.
- Have a seat.
- Thanks.
Sorry, this is Hctor, a good friend.
Hctor, Diana. Diana, Hctor.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
You feel relaxed.
Very relaxed.
Your muscles begin to feel
profoundly lethargic.
Let me in
and let my voice guide you
to the
Deep
What the hell? He was about to touch me!
- He was going to touch me. Why?
- I'm sorry, Diana.
Gallo, if she doesn't cooperate,
I can't do it.
- He tried to poke my eyes.
- Calm down.
Hctor, please.
This won't do.
- I'm sorry.
- I can't work like this.
What do you mean you can't work like this?
You're cursing me. Don't look at me.
Look at him.
Can you explain this?
- Sorry.
- Are you kidding me?
I apologize. I hired him
because things are complicated.
- Benito and I
- Do you know who my dad is?
You're joking, right?
Stop this, Gallo.
Alicia confessed it before the accident.
I had the test done and yes, it's true.
The DNA test was negative.
He's not your son?
I swear that Alicia didn't tell me.
No, no, she never told me.
Well, imagine how I feel.
And how Benito feels.
- Gallo, I don't know
- We need your help.
The last thing we had
was Alicia's cell phone,
which I dropped and got smashed.
There was the last evidence.
Okay.
I'm going to think about it.
And you brought that man for this?
- You made him do this
- I'm sorry.
- He almost poked my eye.
- I'm sorry. Apologize.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
No, you truly went overboard.
You're so uncreative, both of you.
How did you expect me to know?
- Good night.
- Yes?
Gabriel Gaitn?
What's this?
I'm just the delivery guy.
This is not any kind of reconciliation.
My wife forced me to do it,
and Alicia would've liked
her son to have it.
Sincerely, Federico.
VOICE MESSAGE
I don't know what's going on with you,
but you're neglecting your work.
You should evaluate your priorities.
Do you believe he wanted to hurt you?
No, to be honest, I don't know.
There are evil people in the world.
I can't speak for him, but
He's talking about me.
However, nothing justifies the harassment.
The harassment?
What did you do, Gallo?
No, I just approached him and I
What can I say, bro?
If you're watching, go to therapy,
life can be better.
I forgive you.
Thanks!
Sorry, but it's not just anything
that he's forgiving you, uh?
To be honest.
- Coffee?
- Oh, no. Water.
- Tea, have some tea
- Water.
This tea will align your chakras.
- Something like that, I can't remember.
- Water is fine.
- Just water? Sure?
- Yes.
Well, I called because
I was going over it
again and again and again
And I believe I know who the dad is.
Who?
- The psychologist.
- The psychologist?
Alicia's psychologist.
Are you saying that Alicia
was involved with her psychologist?
I'm saying that the psychologist
gets involved with all his patients.
That's great.
Great work ethics,
the psychologist
sleeping with his patients.
Sorry.
So
So
Hmm if it's not him,
he should know,
because Alicia told him everything.
But this disgusting manipulator
moved to Tepoztln, I don't know when.
Thank God, I don't have to see
his stupid face.
No, you do have to see his stupid face
because you must find out what he knows.
No, I'm sorry, we need to
find out what he knows.
No, listen, no, hmm
This isn't easy, Diana.
I've got the kid, I've got work.
I can't not go to work.
I have to be there.
And nothing, perhaps
Nothing, perhaps I have to
let go and have a
A feminine figure to help me out, to
To
let go, to help me out.
No, I get it. I get it. I really do.
I didn't know it was being so hard.
- No, yes.
- I see.
Pato,
Do you find math easy?
- No.
- No, right?
- No.
- What about you?
- No.
- Hmm.
And if it's not easy,
why don't you send me,
for example, to school to take your exams?
Why don't I do your homework?
Why don't I go to Tepoztln
and you pay me for it?
And you can forget about it.
Because life gave me math
to solve problems,
Diana, not to run away from them.
If I'm wrong, correct me.
No, you're not wrong.
- Do you want some coffee?
- No sugar. Thanks.
Shall we go to Tepoztln?
- Thanks.
- Let's go to Tepoztln.
So, what are you
going to say to him or what?
The truth.
Or what do you want to say?
I don't know. Psychologists are not meant
to reveal their patients' secrets.
Hey, what if we use mentalism?
- What?
- Mentalism.
If you touch your mouth
and then your heart,
you're sending him a message
asking to say the whole truth.
- Oh, wow.
- Mouth-heart?
How?
Okay, let's try it or what?
It's like a weird sect, but you can say
Well I want to see you there.
- Hello.
- "Hello."
"Who's my son's dad?"
- And what's in Tepoztln?
- What?
What's in Tepoztln? I don't remember.
- In Tepoztln there are
- Hippies.
- Hippies.
- Lots of them.
The Tepozteco site.
Some people claim
to have seen UFOs up there.
- Says who?
- No, they do exist.
Yes, I saw one at eleven.
When I was
- Why are you laughing?
- No, no.
- For real.
- Yes?
I want to go too.
If you don't believe,
you don't want to go.
- Okay.
- On three. One, two, three.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Okay, okay, okay. Excursion?
- For real?
- Yeah.
Long live the party
Long live the party
Long live the party
And UFOs
WELCOME TO TEPOZTLN
- Wait.
- What?
No, too late.
- Hi! What's up?
- Hello.
Uh is Canek here?
We have a few questions to ask him.
Oh, no, impossible.
He's meditating and he actually asked me
that nobody bothered him.
Meditating? At this time?
Yeah, okay, whatever. Listen
We've come a long way.
We've come from Mexico City and wanted
to ask him about a former patient.
Her name is Alicia Ugalde.
- Ali? Who?
- Alicia Ugalde.
No idea, to be honest.
It's not something
we can discuss at the doorstep.
I don't know if
Perhaps if you
Open the door and let us talk
to him for five minutes.
- It's working.
- Oh, no, that's embarrassing.
Sorry, listen
What we want to know is
if he slept with Alicia,
because he always has
quite intimate relationships
with all of his patients,
so perhaps he's the dad.
- Well
- So, that's why we want to talk to him.
Why do you say
he has sex with all of his patients?
Uh? Doesn't he?
Oh, no, no, I'm not his patient.
Oh, no? Oh, sorry.
- What? Who are you?
- I'm his psychologist.
Oh, I see, I see.
Since you're wearing his shirt.
That's why.
- Is that?
- I'm sorry, uh?
The problem is not with you.
- No, you can't come in.
- I'm sorry, I can.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Ouch!
Line up your chakras.
I know who your dad is, Benito.
His name is Enrique Vega.
And he is none other than
the owner of the agency "Happiness."
We can go and relax
because here it stinks of copal.
Please!
Well, what is copal?
- Is that a UFO?
- What?
That.
- It's a bird.
- Where?
- There.
- There.
Okay, so if it was, what would you ask?
What's your name?
I don't think they speak good Spanish.
How did Carmen Salinas invite them?
They were all actors.
They dressed them as aliens,
but they were all actors.
- All of them?
- Not all of them.
That can't be, that's not true.
What about the one that that
"Asshole, my hair, you idiot."
That's not it's not true.
In case you were wondering,
the werewolf too.
That's not true.
Yeah, I swear.
The only real thing, buddy,
are the feelings
produced by the stories we tell.
Uh?
In the end we all realize
that we're human beings. Hmm?
Tell us one.
- One what?
- A story.
- But, what about?
- You know a ton.
We're talking about things.
- I have one. I have a friend.
- Let's see.
A life-long friend
who only walked backwards.
- Why?
- I swear to God, he walked backwards.
How?
- Why?
- I don't know, he stood up, and
Ask me something, anything.
- What's your name?
- My name is Javo.
Another question.
- How old are you?
- I'm 37 years old.
Last question, okay?
What is the square root of 91?
He's getting back at you.
I haven't taught him anything like that.
What's going to happen tomorrow?
We're going to see the aliens.
No, leave it, leave it.
Are you sure?
I want to see the mountains
and the UFOs tomorrow morning.
Where's your friend now?
My friend?
He went on a trip and didn't come back.
I'll be out here if you need anything.
Okay?
Sleep well, buddy.
- He's asleep.
- Do you want some wine?
I believe "no" will never be
the answer to that question.
- Oh!
- Yes or no?
- Yes, I do.
- You never go straight to the point.
No, yes.
That's enough.
That's it, a little bit more.
- That's it, thanks.
- Geez!
That's it, thanks.
When I was a girl,
I always wanted some of these.
- Yes, they're
- Yes.
They're called Slicey and Chunky.
They're our alter egos.
- Cheers to those alter egos.
- Cheers.
Let me say one thing.
After this expedition,
I want my own walkie-talkie.
With a fancy name and all that.
- Like what?
- I don't know. You tell me.
You came up with them.
How did you think of them?
Those names sound
No, they're not
When Benito was young,
I made him some walkie-talkies
using cans of "Slicey" tomatoes,
and "Chunky" chunks of
Mushrooms.
- Great.
- I can't remember.
He loved them and
So everywhere he went,
he took Slicey and Chunky.
Can I ask you a question?
Like what?
Why did you distance yourself from Benito?
Geez.
Okay, first, I believe
it had a lot to do with the divorce.
And then, also the financial pressure.
And what else?
Alicia always tried
to talk to me about this and
To me, it just happened.
Sometimes I think that
I don't know. Perhaps Alicia
didn't find what she wanted in me.
- Maybe she found it in that agency guy.
- "Happiness."
I don't think so.
I don't know how but
I understand why you distanced yourself.
Not feeling is easier.
You believed your absence
would be better, and that hurt Alicia.
I don't know.
She never told me
why she left that agency.
Now I understand.
It was weird every time
she mentioned "Happiness."
For example,
she told me once about a party,
how it felt weird and uncomfortable.
- It's clear she was avoiding
- The party!
- What party?
- The party.
The party! Enrique will be there.
- Or
- Gallo, we've got it!
We need to find out
where the party is. Right, let's
- Everything okay?
- Yes, I need to take this.
- Excuse me.
- Sure, go ahead.
- Hello?
- Hello, Gaby, what's up?
I got the rights for Celebrities Sentosha.
It's a Japanese reality show.
It'll replace The Best Thing in the World.
Come again?
I'm canceling your show.
My legal team will contact you.
- Good morning!
- Good morning.
- There's coffee.
- I have a hectic morning.
I'm off to Miami.
- What?
- I have a big meeting this afternoon.
We're going to El Tepozteco.
Benito is getting ready
It might be my last chance. And I don't
I don't get it. You don't what?
- We're about to find him, right?
- Who?
His dad. I believe his real dad
can take him some other
He's your
Beni.
- I'm sorry.
- Benito, you and I can go. Don't wo...
Shit!
I'm sorry. I'm swamped.
I want to leave you the car so
You're leaving?
If the situation was different,
perhaps, I don't know
My show has just been canceled,
and I have to get a job.
Do whatever you have to do, Gallo.
- I have to
- Do whatever you have to do.
Thanks.
Hello.
Hello. I left Benito with his grandmother.
I hope you have a great flight to Miami,
and that you get the job.
We'll start boarding flight 702 to Miami.

- Likewise.
It's been so long. Is everything okay?
- Everything's okay. You?

- Yes, with my family.
Oh, good.

- I'm okay, okay.
This is funny!
I swear, I swear.
Yesterday, only yesterday,
I was talking about you with
Nah! With some friends.
Oh!
"Jam ceque qui pieque."
- What?
- Things happen for a reason.
Hey, do you still do that walking
- backwards thing?
- No, I quit that.
Along with other things.
- Wow!
- But
I learnt a great deal from that, uh?
I learnt a lot.
- Oh, yes.
- Yeah, it's mind-blowing.
It's a journey.
You realize you're always
waiting for what's next. What's next?
The Kunene tribe says so.
We're always looking to move forward.
But when it comes to that
you must step back
And look at what was already there.
It's mind-blowing!
You realize that
almost always, what you want the most
you already have.
It's so revealing.
We're boarding
flight 702 to Miami.
Passengers, please show up
at gate number 6.

Thanks.

She's my mom.
Your mom?
I couldn't attend the funeral,
I'm so sorry.
I was out of the country when it happened.
We were all very sad
when she left the agency.
She made me
happy.
It made me happy to know a woman
like your mom existed in the world.
She was very special.
Why did you ask
if I knew her?
Benito said that
He told me he likes a girl.
From school?
From school?
He didn't say anything to me.
