Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Rubén. Rubén.
Why? What's up?
No. I can't.
Rubén
Are are you all right?
Um, did I do something wrong?
No. No, it's not your fault. It's
not working.
Is it Nando?
No.
Thank you so much.
RECEPTION
This isn't about Nando.
Then what is it?
My children.
Emma.
- We've talked about this, though.
- Yeah, yeah. I know, I know.
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?
I do. This is what I want most.
I've wanted it for, um,
as long as I can remember.
But I, um
The life I was living then was imperfect.
Just go to bed, go on!
It was far from perfect,
but I had my children.
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
that would be like abandoning them.
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.
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.
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.
But I have to wait.
I thought it was just a question
of a heart deciding to risk it all.
But maybe not.
Surprise!
Surprise!
Hey, baby.
Look how gorgeous you are! Oy!
- Happy birthday, honey.
- Wow.
- Happy 30th, my sweetie.
- Thank you.
- Hey, happy birthday, kiddo! Hey!
- Come here!
- Aw!
- Aw, sweetie. Happy birthday.
Oh, happy birthday.
- Oh, hey, cheers!
- Cheers, guys!
Hey, hang on, hang on, hang on!
Hey, let's do it again. Can we?
- 'Cause think I forgot to hit record.
- Bullshit.
- Seriously?
- Let's do it.
Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday, dear Emma ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
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.
- 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.
- So pretty.
- Cheers.
Hold on.
- No.
- Yes.
- No, it's still early.
- Yes.
Perfect timing because we're leaving
before things get too crazy.
They're having
a really good time, eh?
- Nando and Deme. Party hard.
- Ah!
Ah!
Wow.
- Happy Birthday. Goodbye.
- Mwah!
- Be careful with these maniacs.
- I love you.
- Bye.
- Goodbye.
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.
No party for you.
But don't don't go, don't go.
That's not that's not Isa!
- Come on, man. Come on.
- Wow, Isa's really pissed isn't she?
- Deme, be right back.
- Shh!
Oh well!
Whoa, whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
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?
Oh, oh!
Come on.
What?
Yes!
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, Nando!
- Oh my God. Ew!
- Yuck!
Nando, let's get up.
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.
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?
Mmm
Sing him a lullaby.
Listen guys, let's get another drink.
Us three? Upstairs.
- Yes? 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.
Honey, off to bed. To bed, to bed, to bed.
- Okay.
- Bedtime. Say goodnight, and let's go.
Hey!
Off you go.
- Hey, I love you.
- Come on, let's go. Come on.
- I'll call you.
- Take care. Love you.
I love you.
Come on, my love.
- Mmm.
- Mm-mm.
What are you doing?
- Let me see.
- Uh
You keep the girls you're seeing
under men's names.
I have it figured out, right?
What are you talking about?
You have a horny mind, you know?
CONTACTS
Mabel Let's see if Mabel
is still under the name of Ismael.
Emma. Quit it.
CONTACTS
Emma.
- I said quit it.
- Oh boy.
CONTACTS
- Let me see, let me see, let me see.
- Stop it!
CONTACTS
Boy, you are stupid.
Hello, old friend of mine.
Hey, wait.
- Britney!
- Get closer. Ready?
Britney!
Oh shit.
- What's going on?
- Hmm?
What?
Here's your clothes.
Have you been taking photos with my phone?
Why would I be taking photos
with your phone?
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.
Fuck, I'm out of battery.
What time is it?
Fucking hell.
Isa will kill me.
Fucking hell.
Emma, I'm so sorry about this.
I gotta get the hell out of here.
- Ah!
- Mm-hmm.
Don't even worry about it.
I've seen it all before.
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.
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.
Would you just shut up.
Deme's gay.
Yes. Who cares?
Perhaps he likes this man here.
Who cares?
Not for me.
The important thing is he loves truly.
That he's good to others.
Plaintiff Pilar Márquez.
Defendant Samuel Olivar.
Mama,
I love you so much.
And you too.
Mr. Minister?
My love.
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.
- You want coffee?
- Uh, no, no.
Besides, I should go.
Give me my phone.
I'll use the car charger.
No, this charges it quickly. There.
Okay.
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.
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.
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.
Hmm.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
Ah!
Wasn't it the school number?
What the
1 MORE ATTEMP
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?
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.
- Did you sleep well?
- Where is it? Where is it?
You look radiant.
- What? Uh, yes, yes. Of course!
- Come on.
- I'm opening.
- Ha!
PHOTO SENT TO ISA
No! No, no, no, no!
No, what's happening?
What's what's wrong?
NANDO HAS SENT YOU A PHOTO
OPEN
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?
Not good.
She looked at it
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
Or not.
Those are the options we have.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ah, in the meeting room. Yeah.
Look at me.
Remember to breathe, Emma. Okay?
What a wonderful surprise!
They're so tiny.
Well, it's about time, sweetheart.
What happened?
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.
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.
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.
- Yes.
A boy and a girl.
Well, it's still a little bit early
to know the sexes, no?
Mía and Mario.
That again?
They're coming.
It's Mía and Mario.
