[Nando breathes deeply]
Meow.
Please don't. There's so many things
I want to say, but I'll just stay quiet.
You told me to come home early, baby,
and here I am.
Please, let's make love tonight, huh? Hmm?
[kisses]
[scoffs]
Go wash yourself.
Shower and put your clothes
in the washing machine.
Stay awake for me.
Do you want me to touch your body, honey?
You you want me to or not?
Yes? Do you? [chuckles]
Oof, you stink.
[Nando chuckles]
Smells like
vodka and lemon.
Baby.
Yuck.
[Nando exhales]
My wife is so loving to me.
Whenever I come home, it's like this.
It's so great.
[scoffs] Nando don't piss me off.
I'm not into this.
Please. But, Emma, don't
You know I love you.
You know I love you, huh?
I loved you since I was five years old.
- That's too much.
- My God. Am I lying? Am I lying?
Come on, baby, say
Let me say hello my little friend.
Hello! What's up?
Nando, please just stop, okay?

I couldn't let you spend
your birthday alone.
Not every day a girl turns 30, ya know?
No.
Well, uh, thank you very much.
The truth is I didn't

[Rubén breathing heavily]
Rubén.
[Rubén exhales]
Wait a minute.
Rubén, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Rubén. Rubén.
Why? What's up?
[Rubén exhales]
[Emma inhales]
No. I can't.
Rubén
[Rubén sighs]
Are are you all right?
Um, did I do something wrong?
[Emma inhales]
No. No, it's not your fault. It's
[inhales]
not working.
[Rubén] Is it Nando?
[Emma] No.
[Rubén] Thank you so much.
RECEPTION
[Emma] This isn't about Nando.
[Rubén] Then what is it?
[Emma] My children.
[Rubén] Emma.
- We've talked about this, though.
- Yeah, yeah. I know, I know.
[Emma breathes shakily]
You can't be the mother of those children.
But But I
- But I can be there.
- What do you need?
Say what you need, and I'll do it for you.
Don't you want this?
Don't you want to be together?
[Emma] I do. This is what I want most.
I've wanted it for, um,
as long as I can remember.
[Emma exhales]
But I, um
- The life I was living then was imperfect.
- [dramatic stinger]
Just go to bed, go on!
[remote control clatters]
[Emma] It was far from perfect,
but I had my children.
[all singing in Spanish]
And I can't stop thinking about them.
There's no pretending they do not exist.
And if I started a new life
with you right now
[inhales]
that would be like abandoning them.
[Rubén] Emma.
But we can be together
and just let life run its course.
Emma.
You're the most important thing to me.
I know I'm risking a lot
to be here right now.
[Emma] I feel terrified
of falling in love with you
because then everything becomes real.
And that would mean
I would be further away from my children.
[Rubén sighs softly]
I am sure I will see my children again
because if not
I don't know if I'll travel through time
because of another Red Moon
or another kind of jinx.
I don't know, I don't know. [inhales]
But I have to wait.
I thought it was just a question
of a heart deciding to risk it all.
But maybe not.

- [tires screech]
[tense music playing]
[gunshots]
[gunshots continue]
[music intensifying]
[crowd] Surprise!
[all cheering]
[Isa] Surprise! [chuckles]
[Pacita] Hey, baby.
- [Deme] Look how gorgeous you are! Oy!
- [Emma chuckles]
- [Deme] Happy birthday, honey.
- [Emma] Wow.
- Happy 30th, my sweetie.
- Thank you. [chuckles]
- Hey, happy birthday, kiddo! Hey!
- [Emma] Come here!
[both chuckle]
- Aw!
- [Pacita] Aw, sweetie. Happy birthday.

- [all chuckle]
- Oh, hey, cheers!
- Cheers, guys!
[all cheering]
[easygoing music playing]
Hey, hang on, hang on, hang on!
Hey, let's do it again. Can we?

[all] Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday, dear Emma ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
[all cheering]
Happy birthday, sweetie.
We're here because they insisted we come.
I don't know what made them ask
two oldies, with all these young people.
Ah, it's so nice to be here.
We're having the best time with you all.
Um, my heart is so filled with gratitude.
I didn't expect this. I did not expect it.
But I am so surprised
by the last few hours.
Emma!
Let's make a toast, huh?
Another toast for Emma.
Once more. Come on.
- [all] Yeah!
- Whoo!
Okay, in my heart, I mean,
the greatest thing in the history
- Nando
- Penis!
Okay, that's great. To the penis.
What an awesome toast, Nando.
Hey!
To you.
- [Andrés] So pretty.
- [Isa] Cheers.
[Spanish music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Emma chuckles]
Hold on.
- No.
- [Cayetano] Yes.
- [Emma] No, it's still early.
- Yes.
Perfect timing because we're leaving
before things get too crazy.
[Pacita] They're having
a really good time, eh?
- Nando and Deme. Party hard.
- Ah! [chuckles]
Ah!
Wow.
- Happy Birthday. Goodbye.
- Mwah!
- Be careful with these maniacs. [chuckles]
- I love you.
- [Pacita] Bye.
- [Cayetano] Goodbye.
[all chuckling]
[Deme gasps]
[Andrés] Come on.
Up, up. Hey, hey, are you okay?
Nando, I beg you. Please do me a favor.
I really need this to end.
You're embarrassing me.
Can you? You can't stop it?
You can't stop it?
- You can't.
- [murmurs]
No party for you.
But don't don't go, don't go.
[Andrés] That's not that's not Isa!
[Nando chuckles]
- Come on, man. Come on.
- Wow, Isa's really pissed isn't she?
- [indistinct chatter]
- [Emma chuckles]
- Deme, be right back.
- Shh!
Oh well!
Whoa, whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[both chuckle]
Ah, why don't you think
about having some water?
Water, water, water.
Water's for the plants or the birdies.
Or or maybe maybe Rubén
probably knows more about it than me.
Totally. Rubén knows everything.
- He knows all, all, all. He does, he does.
- Oh, are you for real?
[Nando gasps] Oh, oh!
- [vocalizing]
- [Emma chuckles] Come on.
[all chuckling]
What? [chuckles]
[both chuckling]
[woman] Yes!
[Emma chuckling]
[dramatic stinger]
[Spanish music continues]
[music fades out]
[Nando echoing] Listen to me, Emma.
Who loves you? Meow.
Who loves you?
I've loved you since I was five years old.
Five years old.
Meow.
- [Nando vomits]
- [Andrés] Nando, Nando!
- [woman] Oh my God. Ew!
- Yuck!
[all chuckling]
[Andrés] Nando, let's get up.
[Andrés scoffs] Nando's so hammered
that Isa won't let him sleep in her room.
- Hey, darling. Darling, come on.
- Yeah, he's he's wasted just like Deme.
- Yeah, yeah. This is pretty bad shape.
- [all chuckle]
That guy's totally out of it.
- Yeah.
- Shh! Nando, a little sleep
- Be careful. Hey, hey, watch out.
- Uh, yes, it's okay.
His clothes are in your washer.
They reeked of salami and motor oil.
- Shh!
- Honey, I know this is a pain,
but he's gotta stay here
until he sobers up.
And we're gonna stay here all alone?
- [Deme chuckles]
- [Andrés] Mmm
Sing him a lullaby.
Listen guys, let's get another drink.
Us three? Upstairs.
- Yes? Emma?
- [Emma] Uh, yes, come on. One last drink.
- Don't go. It's still early.
- No. Do you remember?
Uh, yes, yes.
Yes, we'd love to stay up,
but Pilar is staying in our room.
And tomorrow's a big day. So let's sleep.
Tomorrow's going to be
Tomorrow will be a great fucking day.
- Why don't you come with us?
- Yes.
Hmm. Good night.
[Andrés blows raspberry]
Honey, off to bed. To bed, to bed, to bed.
- Okay.
- Bedtime. Say goodnight, and let's go.
- [Emma groans] Hey!
- [Deme groans]
Off you go.
- Hey, I love you.
- Come on, let's go. Come on.
- I'll call you.
- [Andrés] Take care. Love you.
I love you.
[Andrés] Come on, my love.

[whimsical music playing]
[snoring]
[exhales]
[dramatic stinger]
- [Emma] Mmm.
- [Nando] Mm-mm.
- What are you doing?
- [chuckles]
- Let me see.
- Uh
[Emma] You keep the girls you're seeing
under men's names.
I have it figured out, right?
[both chuckle]
What are you talking about?
You have a horny mind, you know?
CONTACTS
[Emma] Mabel Let's see if Mabel
is still under the name of Ismael.
Emma. Quit it.
CONTACTS
Emma.
- I said quit it.
- [chuckles] Oh boy.
CONTACTS
- Let me see, let me see, let me see.

Hello, old friend of mine.
[dramatic stinger]
[exhales]
- [Nando snoring]
- Hey, wait.
- [Mía and Mario] Britney! [chuckles]
- [Emma] Get closer. Ready?
[camera shutter clicking]
- [Emma chuckles]
- [dramatic stinger]
- [Mía and Mario] Britney!
- [camera shutter clicks]
- [Nando continues snoring]
- [Emma chuckles]
[dramatic swell]
- [camera shutter clicks]
- Oh shit.
[Emma clears throat]
- [Nando] What's going on?
- [Emma] Hmm?
What?
Here's your clothes.
Have you been taking photos with my phone?
[chuckles]
Why would I be taking photos
with your phone?
[chuckles]
PHOTO LIBRARY
Taking photos with your phone? No.
Where is my phone then?
It was here. Where is it?
Huh? Uh
Gi give me my phone, please.
Your phone, it's it's there.
Here. It was there.
[sighs] Fuck, I'm out of battery.
What time is it?
[sighs]
Fucking hell.
Isa will kill me. [exhales]
Fucking hell.
Emma, I'm so sorry about this.
I gotta get the hell out of here.
- Ah!
- Mm-hmm. [chuckles]
Don't even worry about it.
I've seen it all before.
[murmurs]
[church bell ringing in the distance]
Please, think about it.
You can't end your marriage for nothing.
- For nothing?
- Over a little fight?
I mean, don't make important decisions
like that without thinking about it.
[Pilar] I have nothing to think about.
I want a divorce by the end of the day.
I want it done as soon as possible.
It's urgent.
When a person is out of their mind,
they should try to find it
at a hospital, not in court.
- I'm ashamed of you.
- Okay, let's calm down, guys.
- Pilar, you should behave.
- Behave yourself. You're senile.
Hey there. Mama. Papa.
Okay, listen. Is your son a killer?
Has he robbed a bank?
Has he has he taken money to Andorra?
- Who has your son hurt? Tell me.
- I am begging you, please, for us.
[Pilar] Would you just shut up.
Deme's gay.
Yes. Who cares?
Perhaps he likes this man here.
- [Andrés coughs]
- Who cares?
Not for me.
The important thing is he loves truly.
That he's good to others.
[usher] Plaintiff Pilar Márquez.
Defendant Samuel Olivar.
Mama,
I love you so much.
And you too.
[man] Mr. Minister?
[Deme exhales]
My love.
[Nando] My phone's totally dead.
There's no chargers in the bathroom.
My phone is dead.
Totally.
Give it to me. I'll charge it for you.
- Here.
- Thanks.
Hey, uh, did you wash my clothes
while I was sleeping buck-naked?
You wanted to take advantage of me
while I was sleeping.
[chuckles]
- You want coffee?
- Uh, no, no.
Besides, I should go.
Give me my phone.
I'll use the car charger.
[Emma] No, this charges it quickly. There.
[Nando sighs] Okay.
[coffee machine whirring]
[Nando groans]
My God.
We really drank
a lot last night, huh? Ugh.
What do you mean "we"?
Mr. Mystery didn't come last night,
or did he?
Who? Rubén?
Maybe so?
We celebrated earlier.
Ah, you have a reservation
at mega chic, mega frou-frou.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Emma chuckles]
It's not like I'm jealous.
It's not my business.
- Yeah. Uh, yeah.
- Hmm?
Hey, are there any leftovers
from last night?
Refrigerator.
Mmm, I'm a bit peckish.
Let's see what's in here. Oh yeah!
Jackpot. This is great.
We got ham, cheese
- Do you want some?
- No, no, no, no.
[Nando sighs]
Hey, what's with the tattoo, huh?
What are you talking about?
You were spying on me yesterday, huh?
- I got you. I got you, huh?
- Its significance?
I have no idea.
- It's hot in here, isn't it?
- Hmm.
[Nando] Hmm.
[kitchenware clatters]
[whispers] Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
[keypad clicking]
- [phone whooshes]
- Ah!
Wasn't it the school number?
- What the

1 MORE ATTEMP
- [doorbell ringing]
- Emma.
- Isa's here.
- Huh? What?
No shit.
Hey, hey, hey. Wait, wait.
- Tell me your pin.
- Uh Mmm
- One, six, oh, five.
- My birthday?
[phone chimes]
Why why are you messing with my phone?
Open the door. Open the door, please.
He made it my birthday?
Isa, I see you.
Hello. Hey, you look gorgeous.
You're radiant.
Open.
- [Nando] Did you sleep well?
- Where is it? Where is it?
[Nando] You look radiant.
- What? Uh, yes, yes. Of course!
- [Emma] Come on.
- [Nando] I'm opening.
- [Emma] Ha!
PHOTO SENT TO ISA
No! No, no, no, no!
No, what's happening?
What's what's wrong?
[mobile chimes]
NANDO HAS SENT YOU A PHOTO
OPEN
- [Emma sighs]
- [Nando] Isa!
PHOTO LIBRARY
I came as soon as I heard the message.
What's up, Emma?
Huh?
How did Isa react when she saw the photo?
[Emma] Not good. [chuckles]
She looked at it
[sighs] told Nando to get in the car,
then she said,
"I'll talk to you at the office."
And drove off.
We gotta just keep calm, okay?
I'm gonna go look for Isa.
You go talk to her,
you say yes to everything,
bow your head, show humility
[line ringing]
Or not.
Those are the options we have. [chuckles]
I haven't heard a word from Rubén.
Do you know where he is?
Yes. He traveled halfway across
the country in hopes of seducing you.
[chuckles]
Uh, what are you doing
with the date of the Blood Moon?
Wait, what?
Kiddo, the Roman numerals right there.
What, don't you see it? Here.
It's seven twenty-seven of 2018.
Oh, come on. Even the time's there.
Look, nine Well, twenty-one thirty.
[chuckles]
Emma, come on.
I told you I'm a beast with numbers.
Doesn't matter if they're in Chinese
or Roman numerals.
- How'd he know about this?
- Who?
Nando.
Nando has a tattoo of the date.
It's the date.
I swear on my beloved Betis.
This is really blowing my mind, you know?
This can't be a coincidence.
I can't believe it.
Where is everybody? Everything is gone.
[telephone ringing]
Look there.
Isa's packing up her things.
You think she's gonna resign?
No, she's not.
No one ever resigns in Spain.
At least all of Nando's things
are still here, right?
But listen,
this date thing is throwing me.
I can't make sense of it at all.
[sighs]
Just a moment.
Do you think Nando time-traveled,
and he's been hiding it from us all along?
With Nando nothing is predictable.
Well, it's obvious he knows
about us time jumping.
[indistinct yelling]
Ah, in the meeting room. Yeah.
Look at me.
Remember to breathe, Emma. Okay?
[inhales]
[man] What a wonderful surprise!
[indistinct chatter]
They're so tiny. [chuckles]
Well, it's about time, sweetheart.
- What happened?
- [Alfredo inhales]
[Andrés] Honey, where were you?
Why show everyone the photo? I mean
Because I want to share
this moment with everyone.
Isa, please, for me? Uh, no.
Don't do anything that you'll regret.
It's not a big deal.
[chuckles]
It's not a big deal?
No, it's not that big of a deal.
I I thought it was funny at the time,
but it was a joke.
I swear I tried to delete it later.
I didn't want you to argue.
If I did, I would have
We are ancient history.
You remember
your friend Ismael, don't you?
I really have more important things
to be thinking about at the moment.
- I really don't want Nando.
- Hey, kiddo.
I don't know why you printed this
Kiddo
This definitely isn't the photo.
Hey, Emma, congratulations, huh?
You'll be an auntie!
Yeah.
We're gonna be parents.
[Isa] Look, Emma.
I got the results this morning.
And as soon as I got them, I called Nando,
but his phone was off.
Then Deme told me he slept at your house.
Then she popped over to the house, uh,
to come and tell us the good news. Hmm?
- Oh my, it's twins.
- [Isa] Yes.
[Emma] A boy and a girl.
Well, it's still a little bit early
to know the sexes, no?
[chuckles softly]
Mía and Mario.
[Isa] That again?
[Emma] They're coming.
It's Mía and Mario. [sniffles]
