- Bye.

[man] Excuse me!
Hey!
Hey, girl, why don't you answer?
Hi. Can I give you a ride?
What is it? Are you shy or what?

How can you be so handsome this early?
Or maybe it's me and my vision is blurred.
- Maybe it's that. Go back to sleep.
- Hmm.
I want to go in early to prepare
a meeting scheduled first thing today.
It's all right. I'll get up
so we can have breakfast together.
- I already had some coffee.
- Already?
I don't like breakfast this early.
- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.
I didn't know you had to get up so early.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have
gotten here so late yesterday.
[both chuckle]
No meeting could have made me regret
you coming here last night.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
I have to go. I have to go.
- Do you have to?
- Yeah.
- Yes?
- Valeria.
- Don't go!
- Valeria!
[sighs]
Well, do you mind
if I have something here?
You know, if I don't get breakfast,
I'm not human.
Yeah, sure. My place is your place.
After that, I'll go home and work.
Sales have increased. It's so amazing.
I still can't believe all these strangers
out there are reading my book.
If it carries on like this, maybe I should
start working on the second novel.
Maybe you should.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- Impostor.
- Tell me you have tea.
- [sighs] I don't have tea.
- No?
- I've got some blueberries, oats
- Oh?
- And I think I have a little chia left.
- [laughs]
I'm leaving.
- Mmm
- Mmm. Goodbye.
Mmm
Bye.

[sighs]
Sweat!
IMPOSTOR, NEW REVIEWS
- I READ IT IN ONE GO.
- WHEN IS PART TWO COMING OUT?
- [shutter whirring]
- [chuckles]
FRIENDS 4EVER - IMPOSTOR IS ON GOODREADS!
[doorbell buzzing]
LET'S CELEBRATE TONIGHT. IT'S HALLOWEEN!
[sighs]
[dog barking outside]
Hello.
Kudos for the new boss
on her first day at work.
- Oh, that's so sweet. Mmm.
- Mmm.
But no, I'm so nervous. I can't stop
sweating, and this pantsuit is new.
- Oh, wow. Oh, you are so handsome.
- I just wanted to impress my boss.
- Well, you've done it.
- [laughs]
- Hey, I brought you some coffee.
- Oh, you're the best, honestly.
Oh, by the way,
I need help with something.
- Pay attention. Here.
- Sure.
- Look into my eyes, okay?
- Yeah.
"Welcome to the team." Or [inhales]
"Welcome to the team."
- So?
- They sound the same.
No, my love, they don't. In one,
I'm going for informal but not casual,
and the other one is more firm
but also more friendly.
- Okay, can you repeat them?
- Okay.
- Right? Pay attention.
- Yeah. Hm.
- "Welcome to the team."
- That's the familiar one.
No, my love, that one's firm and friendly.
- "Welcome to the team."
- But they sound the same.
- It's not. "Welcome to the team."
- But
- Or "Welcome to the team."
- You're confused.
- I'm not. Oh, never mind.
- [chuckles]
- Relax. Drink your coffee
- No
- [shrieks]
- Oh!
Oh!
I'm sorry.
About the reports I have been writing
about mortgage law for weeks.
I was wondering
if there's anything else I could give you.
Do you find that your job is boring?
No, no, of course I don't.
Make some coffee, please.
Let's start now.
As you know, we're signing a deal with
the Praga law firm's partners this week.
- Ugh. Great, more coffee.
- Excuse me?
Uh I said that
I'll probably have to make more coffee,
and maybe even catering and photos?
Mónica is right.
Some kind of big gathering?
No. I wouldn't go
for anything too pretentious.
I'd go with something to toast the firm,
so they feel important and taken care of.
But nothing too showy.
I can organize that.
I like it.
Initiative and enthusiasm.
Thank you, Mónica.
I wish you showed the same willingness
for your reports.
All right. As we
Welcome to the team.
[sighs] Well shit.
- [bleeping]
- [snorts]
[whispers] Come on, focus.
Uh Welcome to the team.
Oh, what am I doing? Welcome
- [knock on door]
- Oh Ahem.
Good morning.
Weren't you meeting your team at 9:30?
Yes. Yes, but, uh, Borja will be
a bit late, and I wanted to wait for him.
- Hm. His first day and he's late?
- Oh!
- [air conditioning whirring]
- Uh
Well, he had, um a little problem.
Why don't we start now?
[air conditioning whirring faster]
[sighs]
[doorbell rings]
- [gasps] I love you.
- Oooh!
Hey, did you see Carmen's text?
No.
- Oh.
- What?
What is it?
- Your book
- What?
- is in Goodreads!
- [squeals]
- Yes!
- Are you serious? That's amazing!
- Yes! You're going to kill it, my friend!
- [screams and laughs]
I would jump higher, but I'm really tired.
- [laughs]
- Oh, please!
- [sighs]
- Hey.
- It's a bit chilly in here, isn't it?
- What? Um
Yeah. It's the heater, it's not working.
Yeah, but But I'm fine, you know?
- Are you?
- You're not?
- Well, fine Not really.
- So, tell me, then.
- Did you talk to Nerea?
- No.
She's acting like it's nothing,
but I think that deep down, she hates me.
- She doesn't hate you.
- I was a big jerk. I was a big jerk.
- A total bitch.
- Okay.
- A real big jerk.
- Okay, okay, okay.
You were a jerk to me many, many times,
and I don't hate you.
- But you should talk to her.
- Maybe.
So, to what do I owe this honor?
I thought that you didn't eat breakfast
until lunchtime.
Is it my fault that I'm a night owl
in a world made mostly for larks?
Hey, girl, don't you have powdered sugar?
Panela.
You don't put that on a churro.
At least I have something sweet.
At Víctor's, there's only stuff
from the health food store. [chuckles]
I know! How dare Víctor make you
start the day without processed food.
I know, right? I discovered he's a lark,
but a lark that flies
at seven in the morning
- as if it had been awake for two hours.
- That's so darling.
You're like the heroes
in that film, Ladyhawke.
- He told me to stay at his house.
- Shit.
You should have told me.
I would have brought the churros.
I mean, he's capable of leaving me
in his home, all alone,
surrounded by healthy products, and oats,
and he's not capable of defining us?
[laughs]
What?
[sighs] Okay, look.
Maybe, is it possible
that you're putting so much effort
into knowing what you and Víctor are
because you're simply afraid to find out
how you exist on your own?
CAN I BE ALONE?
MAYBE I'LL THINK ABOUT IT TONIGHT.
IT'S HALLOWEEN.
- [whirring]
- [doorbell buzzes]
Coming!
- Ta-da!
- Wow.
Wait.
Uh
- Are you Chaplin?
- It's Halloween!
I'm Edgar Allan Poe. Look.
"Quoth the raven, 'Caw.'"
"Caw, caw!"
Great. You'll spend all night
explaining who you are.
- Why aren't you dressed up?
- I'm the living dead. Happy?
- [toilet flushes]
- [coughs]
- Hi.
- [Valeria] Shit. You're not dressed up?
I don't see the point of Halloween.
We didn't celebrate it.
Sure. It's much better to visit
your grandparents' graves
- and eat marzipan bones.
- Who are you? Groucho?
- Edgar Allan Poe!
- See?
- [buzzing]
- It's a beautiful way to celebrate
- loved ones who've died.
- [sighs]
It's the she-devil!
A heteropatriarchal classic.
Always sexy, never unsexy.
- Oh!
- [laughing]
Are you serious? We were supposed
to go out and party tonight.
- Hmm.
- [Carmen] I'm sniffly.
And this is what a witch wears.
That's what I've been to Borja today.
We can't just be good,
- we have to be the best.
- [knock at door]
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- [Carmen] Uh
We have to be the best.
- Go ahead, tell him.
- Hmm?
Yes.
Borja, uh, try and be a bit more punctual
next time, please.
It's important that we're all present
at the morning meeting.
- I know, but I just came from
- It's okay. Tell me later.
Borja! Borja!
We can talk about it, can't we?
Because [yelps]
Borja, don't go!
I don't wanna be late
for another appointment.
- It's my first day in this job.
- Mine too.
You're the one
who told me to go home and change.
I know, but I had a stare
fixed on the back of my neck.
I couldn't look bad, could I?
I always believed you'd be
the best boss because you're fair,
and wouldn't throw your employees
under the bus.
That's what I thought. Until now.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[sneezes]
One day you're young,
and the next day, you think eating
roasted chestnuts is better than partying.
This, here, doesn't look like my idea
- of a Halloween night at all.
- No.
- Okay, now, that's more like it.
- Yes! I want some.
- Oh, man, of course you do.
- [Carmen] You're hopeless, aren't you?
- What do you imagine, thinking "lawyer"?
- A penal lawyer with a hung jury?
- I object, Your Honor!
- [laughing]
Oh, that's funny.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. [laughs]
Is everything fine at the firm?
Well
Tired of writing reports?
Anyway, don't worry, that's temporary.
- Does it get better?
- Oh, yeah. Of course.
You go from writing them
to reading and highlighting them.
It's fine. Oh, my coffee,
with soy milk and foam. Thanks!
That's it. It will be like that
for the rest of my life.
- And how are you in the new flat?
- [phone alert]
OLGA - HOW ARE YOU?
WANT TO GO OUT FOR A BEER FOR HALLOWEEN?
[loud music playing]
[chatter and laughter]
[phone ringing]
[man singing]
Olga, I'll call you in a minute.
Look, someone took my coffee.
If it was you two,
you can buy me another pack, huh?
[snickers]
[speaking Japanese]
Okay, listen, if you ever wanna
come to my place sometime,
you can hang out and work quietly,
even when I'm not there.
Okay. Thank you.
When someone tells you you can stay
at their place when they're not home,
why doesn't it mean anything?
She said that because of Víctor.
In my case, I mean it.
No, I mean, if the sharing of your home
doesn't confirm you as a couple,
what the fuck does, hmm?
I always thought taking a piss
in front of each other did.
I mean it. It's a private moment
you share when the mystery is gone
but there's always still real love.
I think the difference
is meeting his family, right?
- Mmm.
- [Lola] Mmm.
The one Borja hasn't introduced me to yet.
- Going on vacation.
- [Valeria sighs]
Hmm. That's sort of like living together.
I spent a weekend with Borja.
Yeah, of course.
- But that's not a vacation, right?
- No.
He usually doesn't even
sleep over at my place.
- [Lola] Are you serious?
- Yeah.
- I mean, even Sergio sleeps over.
- Really?
- [Lola] All the time.
- He doesn't even have anything here,
a toothbrush,
or a shirt in case I spill coffee on him.
No, shit. [sighs]
- What are you doing?
- I'm texting him.
To come home, forgive me and make love to
me, like the solid couple we really are.
What about us?
- [Carmen] Uh
- We'll leave, then.
- Okay?
- Yeah. Perfect.
We have time for another drink
before he gets here.
Okay, then, let's go.
A toast to the great success of Impostor.
- Come on.
- Being on Goodreads, you'll smash it.
Thank you, ladies!
- Brava!
- [all chuckle]
You deserve success with this
and everything still to come.
- Are you dressed up as a pirate?
- [laughs]
- I told you.
- [sighs]
[laughing]
[both laughing]
What a Halloween!
Yeah. I feel like we're older,
and that scares me.
- No. [laughs]
- Yes.
- No.
- [both chuckling]
Oof.
Considering the fact that I'm an owl
and he's a lark,
is it too late to text Víctor?
Never.
Never is it too late to get laid.
[both laugh]
Or, at least, that's what
statistics on Tinder say.
- I'm meeting Sergio.
- Already?
Yeah.
TRICK OR TREAT AT MY PLACE?
Ooh.
I think you have a visitor.
- [beeping]
- [doorbell buzzes]
God. Calm down.
[coughing]
[clears throat]
[coughs]
[snorts]
- Hi.
- Hello.
Come in.
[coughs]
Borja, I'm really sorry. About what
you said before, you're completely right.
I haven't been fair at all.
I'm sorry about everything that happened.
[sighs] Look.
- I might make some mistakes.
- You don't.
Like everybody does.
But wait to give me a lecture
until I really deserve it.
Okay.
And, not that I'm making amends,
but the idea you had at the end
of the meeting today
was pretty damn impressive.
- What? Are you kissing my ass?
- No, I'm not.
I really mean it.
I'm very happy to have recruited you
as my awesome, kickass teammate.
For both my work team and personal.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- You're hot.
- Mm-hmm.
I have the hots for you.
No, I'm serious.
You're really hot.
- [sighs] I actually feel really terrible.
- Really?
I think I overdid it with the AC.
[sneezes]
- Oh, wow!
- Excuse me. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. [coughing]
- Come here. Come.
- It's really cold.
- Lie down.
- [groans]
- All right.
[water running]
My love, um, I've been thinking
And, well, after what happened to your
shirt today, well, maybe you should
- [gasping] Oh, it's really cold!
- That's the idea.
- Do you have paracetamol?
- Yeah, on the nightstand.
Oh, my love, I was thinking that
maybe you should bring something,
here, to my place.
A stain remover, or what?
No, idiot. I don't know, your things.
I could let you use a drawer.
- Take it. Come on.
- Yes.
[gulps]
[coughs] God.
Uh, that way,
if you knock over your coffee,
well, you could change here.
Well, as if you were
at your place.
Uh
I think that's a good idea.
Really?
- Are you sure?
- I love it.
- Yeah? Seriously?
- Yeah.
Oh, that's great!
- [both laugh]
- Oh, okay!
- Okay, but you're not up to that now.
- No, actually I'm not.
- Get under.
- Oh, come here.
- [sighs]
- I'm really cold.
- Wrap yourself here.
- [sighs]
- [whimpers]
- [sighs]
It's really great you're here.
[sung in Spanish] If you stay ♪
This is so nice.
You won't change ♪
Right, so now, get yourself some sleep.
- I'll call you tomorrow, okay?
- Uh
What? You're leaving?
Yeah. Look, what you need is to sleep now.
But, my love, I'm sick. The normal thing
to do would be to stay and look after me.
- Something could happen to me.
- Carmen, it's just a cold.
The last rites can wait.
Are you being serious?
- I can't just lie here staring at you.
- But
And I didn't tell my mother
I wasn't sleeping at home.
You just rest.
You'll see.
Tomorrow, you'll be as good as new.
- Yeah
- Mmm. Okay, I'm gonna go.
- Fine.
- [sighs]
Bye, my love. Mwah!
[door closes]
[gasps and scoffs]
[sighs heavily]
[sneezes]
[clears throat]
Are you sure you don't want anything else?
[Adrián coughs]
Val
I read your book.
I'm sorry.
Is everything you say in it true?
Yes.
Adri, you and I weren't getting on well.
[sighs]
And I wanted to tell a real story.
- Yeah.
- What happened with us is real.
Yeah. And you thought it was a great idea
to share our lives with everyone you know.
- Was it really so terrible living with me?
- I didn't write that.
Oh, no, you're right,
you'd rather focus on the amazing things
that guy did to you in bed
while you were married to me.
You know how they say
you can never really know someone?
I never thought I'd say that about you.
We had been in a crisis for months.
You didn't touch me or support me
And instead of solving our problems
with me,
your solution was to screw someone else?
I'm not trying to justify myself.
- I know it was wrong.
- It was wrong?
Shit, Val, it wasn't just wrong,
it was a fucking betrayal.
You were supposed to love me,
but you lied to me.
And all just just to feel better?
No. [breathing shakily]
- I did it because I couldn't breathe.
- Welcome to fucking adulthood.
Look, sometimes we drown,
sometimes we float,
or we're dragged by the current.
But that doesn't mean
we have to take others down with us.
[whimpers]
[sighs]
I will not take all the blame for us.
You can't kill what's already dead.
Save your pretentious poetic sentences
for your next bullshit novel.
- That's uncalled for.
- Me?
- Yes.
- Me?
- Yes!
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I forgot. I was the dumbass husband.
- You're not my husband anymore.
You stopped being my husband long ago.
Do you want to know what you are? Huh?
You're his fuck doll.
But the problem isn't me or Víctor.
The problem is you, and you know it.
You're just a selfish child
who's almost 30
and playing at living in her own novel.
- [doorbell rings]
- Don't worry, I was just leaving.
Always better to leave a chapter
on a cliffhanger, no?

[Lola laughs]
You said in your text
that you had a bottle of wine.
And I did.
But I drank it all.
- Why
- [both laugh]
I hope you didn't call me
to look after you?
I've been eating roasted chestnuts
- and drinking wine.
- Mm-hmm.
I called you to make me feel young, okay?
Well, I think I have
a couple of ideas for that.
- Mm-hmm?
- Mm-hmm.

Do you like it?
A dress?
Yes. I want you to wear it on Sunday
when I introduce you to my friends.
You'll look absolutely stunning.
Thank you, but I already have
something to wear on Sunday.
Yeah, well, but they [chuckles]
These guys are from
the world of finance, and
- well, you can't go like
- Like?
- [laughs] You know.
- No, I don't. Explain it to me.
Now you choose my clothes for me?
Uh, Lola, no, no, don't take it like that.
Look, if you wanna play dress up,
buy yourself a doll.
[inhales sharply]
- Uh I think I'd better go.
- Yes, I think so too
- Yes.
- Hmm.
Yes, yes. Oh, or maybe you wanna choose
my pajamas first.
No?
[chuckles]
He's hurt. And when you're hurt,
you say things without thinking.
Am I a plaything?
You were just back from Berlin.
I was a married girl
in the middle of a life crisis.
Am I a plaything?
Why don't we forget
about what Adrián said?
[sighs]
Why don't you answer?
- Yes, you were a plaything.
- [whimpers] Perfect.
- But only at first.
- You don't need to say more.
Then you started to change,
you started to feel things.
Just like in a novel. [scoffs]
Why do you always have
to analyze everything?
Why do you care what Adrián says?
- I'm telling you the truth, Valeria.
- For you, it's very easy to say that.
You've never been in a real relationship,
have you? Just playthings.
[sighs]
Leave.
I want to be alone.

Coming!
[doorbell rings]
- Welcome, welcome.
- Hi.
Well, this is it.
I set up the table,
and you can stay here as long as you need.
- Thank you.
- No, don't thank me.
This was your home, and still is.
- If you decide you wanna stay the night
- No. It's quieter at night there.
I can work in my room.
Whatever you need.
Everything okay?
I like seeing you here.
And I wasn't good to you, and I'm sorry.
I know, you told me that the next day,
also over the phone and by text.
It's obvious.
Yeah.
Do you mean it?
I know that you mentioned you were sorry.
But do you mean it?
Yes,
sometimes you're cold.
And sometimes I'm a super jerk.
But everything can be changed.
Even a profession, Nerea.
Maybe you chose that degree
because your parents wanted you to.
[sighs]
Well, I'm gonna go get a drink,
so you can work quietly.
[Lola] What the fuck, man?
How could you admit she was a plaything?
What would you want?
I didn't wanna lie to her.
No. No, look.
If you wanna be in a relationship,
you can't use honesty as a safety net
to say anything you think.
- I mean, there's such a thing called tact.
- Ah, okay.
Do you think I don't know
what a relationship is?
[laughing] As if I knew
anything about that!
I think that she gambled
a hell of a lot more
than you did with this.
And she lost much more than you.
Yeah, I know that.
If you know that,
then you should also know
that it's normal
that she's feeling insecure.
I mean, really insecure.
Okay, I can understand that.
What I don't understand is why
we have to make things so difficult.
They could be so much easier
and not as dramatic.
Then you shouldn't have gotten involved
with a married woman
who's unstable
and at a delicate point in her career.

This is the exact place
where Adrián and I
- Slept together for the first time.
- You've told us about that moment
so many times that it almost feels
like it was me in that car.
Víctor told Lola
what happened with Adrián.
That's the problem
with him being my friend.
Adrián told me that I act
like I'm living in a novel.
Then it would be great
if you stopped worrying
about what the secondary characters
are thinking
and just focused on who the lead character
of your novel is and what she wants.
We thought it would be a nice idea
to bring you here
because this is
the place you started with Adrián.
And now it will be the place
you say goodbye to him.
[sighs]
[sighs]
- It's over, Val.
- [sobs]
Come on, girls. If we have to do it,
let's do it right. Agreed?
- Let's go.
- We're moving. Come on.
- What? What?
- Come on, come with us.

- Shout what you wanna change.
- [Valeria] I feel ridiculous.
- [Carmen] No!
- [Lola] You know what is ridiculous?
Wearing a wedding ring
months after you've been separated.
Val, shout it out!
[softly] I want to be fine.
- We can't hear you.
- Louder.
I said I want to be fine.
- Come on, Val.
- You got this.
- Do it!
- [yells] I want to be fine!
I want to stop caring
about what other people think.
I want to enjoy myself and my life!
I want to know who I am. Who is Valeria?
Not Valeria and Adrián,
or Valeria and Víctor, not that!
Valeria!
- Bravo!

Oh, uh I want to live with Borja!
- Oh! Okay!
- I want to wake up with him every day.
Always! [laughs]

after me when I have a temperature.

How can you be so handsome this early?
Or maybe it's me and my vision is blurred.
- Maybe it's that. Go back to sleep.
- Hmm.
I want to go in early to prepare
a meeting scheduled first thing today.
It's all right. I'll get up
so we can have breakfast together.
- I already had some coffee.
- Already?
I don't like breakfast this early.
- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.
I didn't know you had to get up so early.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have
gotten here so late yesterday.
[both chuckle]
No meeting could have made me regret
you coming here last night.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
I have to go. I have to go.
- Do you have to?
- Yeah.
- Yes?
- Valeria.
- Don't go!
- Valeria!
[sighs]
Well, do you mind
if I have something here?
You know, if I don't get breakfast,
I'm not human.
Yeah, sure. My place is your place.
After that, I'll go home and work.
Sales have increased. It's so amazing.
I still can't believe all these strangers
out there are reading my book.
If it carries on like this, maybe I should
start working on the second novel.
Maybe you should.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- Impostor.
- Tell me you have tea.
- [sighs] I don't have tea.
- No?
- I've got some blueberries, oats

LET'S CELEBRATE TONIGHT. IT'S HALLOWEEN!
[sighs]
[dog barking outside]
Hello.
Kudos for the new boss
on her first day at work.
- Oh, that's so sweet. Mmm.
- Mmm.
But no, I'm so nervous. I can't stop
sweating, and this pantsuit is new.
- Oh, wow. Oh, you are so handsome.
- I just wanted to impress my boss.
- Well, you've done it.
- [laughs]
- Hey, I brought you some coffee.
- Oh, you're the best, honestly.
Oh, by the way,
I need help with something.
- Pay attention. Here.
- Sure.
- Look into my eyes, okay?
- Yeah.
"Welcome to the team." Or [inhales]
"Welcome to the team."
- So?
- They sound the same.
No, my love, they don't. In one,
I'm going for informal but not casual,
and the other one is more firm
but also more friendly.
- Okay, can you repeat them?
- Okay.
- Right? Pay attention.
- Yeah. Hm.
- "Welcome to the team."
- That's the familiar one.
No, my love, that one's firm and friendly.
- "Welcome to the team."
- But they sound the same.
- It's not. "Welcome to the team."
- But
- Or "Welcome to the team."
- You're confused.
- I'm not. Oh, never mind.
- [chuckles]
- Relax. Drink your coffee
- No
- [shrieks]
- Oh!
Oh!
I'm sorry.
About the reports I have been writing
about mortgage law for weeks.
I was wondering
if there's anything else I could give you.
Do you find that your job is boring?
No, no, of course I don't.
Make some coffee, please.
Let's start now.
As you know, we're signing a deal with
the Praga law firm's partners this week.
- Ugh. Great, more coffee.
- Excuse me?
Uh I said that
I'll probably have to make more coffee,
and maybe even catering and photos?
Mónica is right.
Some kind of big gathering?
No. I wouldn't go
for anything too pretentious.
I'd go with something to toast the firm,
so they feel important and taken care of.
But nothing too showy.
I can organize that.
I like it.
Initiative and enthusiasm.
Thank you, Mónica.
I wish you showed the same willingness
for your reports.
All right. As we
Welcome to the team.
[sighs] Well shit.
- [bleeping]
- [snorts]
[whispers] Come on, focus.
Uh Welcome to the team.
Oh, what am I doing? Welcome
- [knock on door]
- Oh Ahem.
Good morning.
Weren't you meeting your team at 9:30?
Yes. Yes, but, uh, Borja will be
a bit late, and I wanted to wait for him.
- Hm. His first day and he's late?
- Oh!
- [air conditioning whirring]
- Uh
Well, he had, um a little problem.
Why don't we start now?
[air conditioning whirring faster]
[sighs]
[doorbell rings]
- [gasps] I love you.
- Oooh!
Hey, did you see Carmen's text?
No.
- Oh.
- What?
What is it?
- Your book
- What?
- is in Goodreads!
- [squeals]
- Yes!
- Are you serious? That's amazing!
- Yes! You're going to kill it, my friend!
- [screams and laughs]
I would jump higher, but I'm really tired.
- [laughs]
- Oh, please!
- [sighs]
- Hey.
- It's a bit chilly in here, isn't it?
- What? Um
Yeah. It's the heater, it's not working.
Yeah, but But I'm fine, you know?
- Are you?
- You're not?
- Well, fine Not really.
- So, tell me, then.
- Did you talk to Nerea?
- No.
She's acting like it's nothing,
but I think that deep down, she hates me.
- She doesn't hate you.
- I was a big jerk. I was a big jerk.
- A total bitch.
- Okay.
- A real big jerk.
- Okay, okay, okay.
You were a jerk to me many, many times,
and I don't hate you.
- But you should talk to her.
- Maybe.
So, to what do I owe this honor?
I thought that you didn't eat breakfast
until lunchtime.
Is it my fault that I'm a night owl
in a world made mostly for larks?
Hey, girl, don't you have powdered sugar?
Panela.
You don't put that on a churro.
At least I have something sweet.
At Víctor's, there's only stuff
from the health food store. [chuckles]
I know! How dare Víctor make you
start the day without processed food.
I know, right? I discovered he's a lark,
but a lark that flies
at seven in the morning
- as if it had been awake for two hours.
- That's so darling.
You're like the heroes
in that film, Ladyhawke.
- He told me to stay at his house.
- Shit.
You should have told me.
I would have brought the churros.
I mean, he's capable of leaving me
in his home, all alone,
surrounded by healthy products, and oats,
and he's not capable of defining us?
[laughs]
What?
[sighs] Okay, look.
Maybe, is it possible
that you're putting so much effort
into knowing what you and Víctor are
because you're simply afraid to find out
how you exist on your own?
CAN I BE ALONE?
MAYBE I'LL THINK ABOUT IT TONIGHT.
IT'S HALLOWEEN.
- [whirring]
- [doorbell buzzes]
Coming!
- Ta-da!
- Wow.
Wait.
Uh
- Are you Chaplin?
- It's Halloween!
I'm Edgar Allan Poe. Look.
"Quoth the raven, 'Caw.'"
"Caw, caw!"
Great. You'll spend all night
explaining who you are.
- Why aren't you dressed up?
- I'm the living dead. Happy?
- [toilet flushes]
- [coughs]
- Hi.
- [Valeria] Shit. You're not dressed up?
I don't see the point of Halloween.
We didn't celebrate it.
Sure. It's much better to visit
your grandparents' graves
- and eat marzipan bones.
- Who are you? Groucho?
- Edgar Allan Poe!
- See?
- [buzzing]
- It's a beautiful way to celebrate
- loved ones who've died.
- [sighs]
It's the she-devil!
A heteropatriarchal classic.
Always sexy, never unsexy.
- Oh!
- [laughing]
Are you serious? We were supposed
to go out and party tonight.
- Hmm.
- [Carmen] I'm sniffly.
And this is what a witch wears.
That's what I've been to Borja today.
We can't just be good,
- we have to be the best.
- [knock at door]
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- [Carmen] Uh
We have to be the best.
- Go ahead, tell him.
- Hmm?
Yes.
Borja, uh, try and be a bit more punctual
next time, please.
It's important that we're all present
at the morning meeting.
- I know, but I just came from
- It's okay. Tell me later.
Borja! Borja!
We can talk about it, can't we?
Because [yelps]
Borja, don't go!
I don't wanna be late
for another appointment.
- It's my first day in this job.
- Mine too.
You're the one
who told me to go home and change.
I know, but I had a stare
fixed on the back of my neck.
I couldn't look bad, could I?
I always believed you'd be
the best boss because you're fair,
and wouldn't throw your employees
under the bus.
That's what I thought. Until now.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[sneezes]
One day you're young,
and the next day, you think eating
roasted chestnuts is better than partying.
This, here, doesn't look like my idea
- of a Halloween night at all.
- No.
- Okay, now, that's more like it.
- Yes! I want some.
- Oh, man, of course you do.
- [Carmen] You're hopeless, aren't you?
- What do you imagine, thinking "lawyer"?
- A penal lawyer with a hung jury?
- I object, Your Honor!
- [laughing]
Oh, that's funny.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. [laughs]
Is everything fine at the firm?
Well
Tired of writing reports?
Anyway, don't worry, that's temporary.
- Does it get better?
- Oh, yeah. Of course.
You go from writing them
to reading and highlighting them.
It's fine. Oh, my coffee,
with soy milk and foam. Thanks!
That's it. It will be like that
for the rest of my life.
- And how are you in the new flat?
- [phone alert]
OLGA - HOW ARE YOU?
WANT TO GO OUT FOR A BEER FOR HALLOWEEN?
[loud music playing]
[chatter and laughter]
[phone ringing]
[man singing]
Olga, I'll call you in a minute.
Look, someone took my coffee.
If it was you two,
you can buy me another pack, huh?
[snickers]
[speaking Japanese]
Okay, listen, if you ever wanna
come to my place sometime,
you can hang out and work quietly,
even when I'm not there.
Okay. Thank you.
When someone tells you you can stay
at their place when they're not home,
why doesn't it mean anything?
She said that because of Víctor.
In my case, I mean it.
No, I mean, if the sharing of your home
doesn't confirm you as a couple,
what the fuck does, hmm?
I always thought taking a piss
in front of each other did.
I mean it. It's a private moment
you share when the mystery is gone
but there's always still real love.
I think the difference
is meeting his family, right?
- Mmm.
- [Lola] Mmm.
The one Borja hasn't introduced me to yet.
- Going on vacation.
- [Valeria sighs]
Hmm. That's sort of like living together.
I spent a weekend with Borja.
Yeah, of course.
- But that's not a vacation, right?
- No.
He usually doesn't even
sleep over at my place.
- [Lola] Are you serious?
- Yeah.
- I mean, even Sergio sleeps over.
- Really?
- [Lola] All the time.
- He doesn't even have anything here,
a toothbrush,
or a shirt in case I spill coffee on him.
No, shit. [sighs]
- What are you doing?
- I'm texting him.
To come home, forgive me and make love to
me, like the solid couple we really are.
What about us?
- [Carmen] Uh
- We'll leave, then.
- Okay?
- Yeah. Perfect.
We have time for another drink
before he gets here.
Okay, then, let's go.
A toast to the great success of Impostor.
- Come on.
- Being on Goodreads, you'll smash it.
Thank you, ladies!
- Brava!
- [all chuckle]
You deserve success with this
and everything still to come.
- Are you dressed up as a pirate?
- [laughs]
- I told you.
- [sighs]
[laughing]
[both laughing]
What a Halloween!
Yeah. I feel like we're older,
and that scares me.
- No. [laughs]
- Yes.
- No.
- [both chuckling]
Oof.
Considering the fact that I'm an owl
and he's a lark,
is it too late to text Víctor?
Never.
Never is it too late to get laid.
[both laugh]
Or, at least, that's what
statistics on Tinder say.
- I'm meeting Sergio.
- Already?
Yeah.
TRICK OR TREAT AT MY PLACE?
Ooh.
I think you have a visitor.
- [beeping]
- [doorbell buzzes]
God. Calm down.
[coughing]
[clears throat]
[coughs]
[snorts]
- Hi.
- Hello.
Come in.
[coughs]
Borja, I'm really sorry. About what
you said before, you're completely right.
I haven't been fair at all.
I'm sorry about everything that happened.
[sighs] Look.
- I might make some mistakes.
- You don't.
Like everybody does.
But wait to give me a lecture
until I really deserve it.
Okay.
And, not that I'm making amends,
but the idea you had at the end
of the meeting today
was pretty damn impressive.
- What? Are you kissing my ass?
- No, I'm not.
I really mean it.
I'm very happy to have recruited you
as my awesome, kickass teammate.
For both my work team and personal.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- You're hot.
- Mm-hmm.
I have the hots for you.
No, I'm serious.
You're really hot.
- [sighs] I actually feel really terrible.
- Really?
I think I overdid it with the AC.
[sneezes]
- Oh, wow!
- Excuse me. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. [coughing]
- Come here. Come.
- It's really cold.
- Lie down.
- [groans]
- All right.
[water running]
My love, um, I've been thinking
And, well, after what happened to your
shirt today, well, maybe you should
- [gasping] Oh, it's really cold!
- That's the idea.
- Do you have paracetamol?
- Yeah, on the nightstand.
Oh, my love, I was thinking that
maybe you should bring something,
here, to my place.
A stain remover, or what?
No, idiot. I don't know, your things.
I could let you use a drawer.
- Take it. Come on.
- Yes.
[gulps]
[coughs] God.
Uh, that way,
if you knock over your coffee,
well, you could change here.
Well, as if you were
at your place.
Uh
I think that's a good idea.
Really?
- Are you sure?
- I love it.
- Yeah? Seriously?
- Yeah.
Oh, that's great!
- [both laugh]
- Oh, okay!
- Okay, but you're not up to that now.
- No, actually I'm not.
- Get under.
- Oh, come here.
- [sighs]
- I'm really cold.
- Wrap yourself here.
- [sighs]
- [whimpers]
- [sighs]
It's really great you're here.
[sung in Spanish] If you stay ♪
This is so nice.
You won't change ♪
Right, so now, get yourself some sleep.
- I'll call you tomorrow, okay?
- Uh
What? You're leaving?
Yeah. Look, what you need is to sleep now.
But, my love, I'm sick. The normal thing
to do would be to stay and look after me.
- Something could happen to me.
- Carmen, it's just a cold.
The last rites can wait.
Are you being serious?
- I can't just lie here staring at you.
- But
And I didn't tell my mother
I wasn't sleeping at home.
You just rest.
You'll see.
Tomorrow, you'll be as good as new.
- Yeah
- Mmm. Okay, I'm gonna go.
- Fine.
- [sighs]
Bye, my love. Mwah!
[door closes]
[gasps and scoffs]
[sighs heavily]
[sneezes]
[clears throat]
Are you sure you don't want anything else?
[Adrián coughs]
Val
I read your book.
I'm sorry.
Is everything you say in it true?
Yes.
Adri, you and I weren't getting on well.
[sighs]
And I wanted to tell a real story.
- Yeah.
- What happened with us is real.
Yeah. And you thought it was a great idea
to share our lives with everyone you know.
- Was it really so terrible living with me?
- I didn't write that.
Oh, no, you're right,
you'd rather focus on the amazing things
that guy did to you in bed
while you were married to me.
You know how they say
you can never really know someone?
I never thought I'd say that about you.
We had been in a crisis for months.
You didn't touch me or support me
And instead of solving our problems
with me,
your solution was to screw someone else?
I'm not trying to justify myself.
- I know it was wrong.
- It was wrong?
Shit, Val, it wasn't just wrong,
it was a fucking betrayal.
You were supposed to love me,
but you lied to me.
And all just just to feel better?
No. [breathing shakily]
- I did it because I couldn't breathe.
- Welcome to fucking adulthood.
Look, sometimes we drown,
sometimes we float,
or we're dragged by the current.
But that doesn't mean
we have to take others down with us.
[whimpers]
[sighs]
I will not take all the blame for us.
You can't kill what's already dead.
Save your pretentious poetic sentences
for your next bullshit novel.
- That's uncalled for.
- Me?
- Yes.
- Me?
- Yes!
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I forgot. I was the dumbass husband.
- You're not my husband anymore.
You stopped being my husband long ago.
Do you want to know what you are? Huh?
You're his fuck doll.
But the problem isn't me or Víctor.
The problem is you, and you know it.
You're just a selfish child
who's almost 30
and playing at living in her own novel.
- [doorbell rings]
- Don't worry, I was just leaving.
Always better to leave a chapter
on a cliffhanger, no?

Am I a plaything?
Why don't we forget
about what Adrián said?
[sighs]
Why don't you answer?
- Yes, you were a plaything.
- [whimpers] Perfect.
- But only at first.
- You don't need to say more.
Then you started to change,
you started to feel things.
Just like in a novel. [scoffs]
Why do you always have
to analyze everything?
Why do you care what Adrián says?
- I'm telling you the truth, Valeria.
- For you, it's very easy to say that.
You've never been in a real relationship,
have you? Just playthings.

Leave.
I want to be alone.

- Welcome, welcome.
- Hi.
Well, this is it.
I set up the table,
and you can stay here as long as you need.
- Thank you.
- No, don't thank me.
This was your home, and still is.
- If you decide you wanna stay the night
- No. It's quieter at night there.
I can work in my room.
Whatever you need.
Everything okay?
I like seeing you here.
And I wasn't good to you, and I'm sorry.
I know, you told me that the next day,
also over the phone and by text.
It's obvious.
Yeah.
Do you mean it?
I know that you mentioned you were sorry.
But do you mean it?
Yes,
sometimes you're cold.
And sometimes I'm a super jerk.
But everything can be changed.
Even a profession, Nerea.
Maybe you chose that degree
because your parents wanted you to.
[sighs]
Well, I'm gonna go get a drink,
so you can work quietly.
[Lola] What the fuck, man?
How could you admit she was a plaything?
What would you want?
I didn't wanna lie to her.
No. No, look.
If you wanna be in a relationship,
you can't use honesty as a safety net
to say anything you think.
- I mean, there's such a thing called tact.
- Ah, okay.
Do you think I don't know
what a relationship is?
[laughing] As if I knew
anything about that!
I think that she gambled
a hell of a lot more
than you did with this.
And she lost much more than you.
Yeah, I know that.
If you know that,
then you should also know
that it's normal
that she's feeling insecure.
I mean, really insecure.
Okay, I can understand that.
What I don't understand is why
we have to make things so difficult.
They could be so much easier
and not as dramatic.
Then you shouldn't have gotten involved
with a married woman
who's unstable
and at a delicate point in her career.

This is the exact place
where Adrián and I
- Slept together for the first time.
- You've told us about that moment
so many times that it almost feels
like it was me in that car.
Víctor told Lola
what happened with Adrián.
That's the problem
with him being my friend.
Adrián told me that I act
like I'm living in a novel.
Then it would be great
if you stopped worrying
about what the secondary characters
are thinking
and just focused on who the lead character
of your novel is and what she wants.
We thought it would be a nice idea
to bring you here
because this is
the place you started with Adrián.
And now it will be the place
you say goodbye to him.
[sighs]
[sighs]
- It's over, Val.
- [sobs]
Come on, girls. If we have to do it,
let's do it right. Agreed?
- Let's go.
- We're moving. Come on.
- What? What?
- Come on, come with us.
- What?
- Let's go. Get up there.
- [Valeria] What are you saying?
- [Lola] Get up here.
- [Valeria] Ugh. You're crazy!
- [Carmen] Listen for a minute.
- Shout what you wanna change.
- [Valeria] I feel ridiculous.
- [Carmen] No!
- [Lola] You know what is ridiculous?
Wearing a wedding ring
months after you've been separated.
Val, shout it out!
[softly] I want to be fine.
- We can't hear you.
- Louder.
I said I want to be fine.
- Come on, Val.
- You got this.
- Do it!
- [yells] I want to be fine!
I want to stop caring
about what other people think.
I want to enjoy myself and my life!
I want to know who I am. Who is Valeria?
Not Valeria and Adrián,
or Valeria and Víctor, not that!
Valeria!
- Bravo!
- [laughing]
Yeah! That's it.
- That's it. Very good.
- [Carmen] You did great!
Don't lose the moment! Who's next?
- Uh Me! I'll do it.
- But not right now?
- My turn.
- All of us?
Uh, let's see. Uh [chuckles]
Oh, uh I want to live with Borja!
- Oh! Okay!
- I want to wake up with him every day.
Always! [laughs]
And I want him to suck it up and look
after me when I have a temperature.
- That's right!
- [laughing]
- [Carmen] That's what I want!
- Come on, girl.
- Me.
- Let's go.
[Lola and Valeria laugh]
I want to leave Sergio!
- Oh!
- Hallelujah!
I kick ass when it comes to giving
advice to people, but what about me?
I want to have freedom again.
- I want to see the world!
- Yes!
- Wow!
- Good!
- Damn, it feels good, doesn't it? [laughs]
- Right?
- Come on!
- What?
It's your turn.
- Yes.
- Seriously?
- Yes.
- So seriously.
Well [sighs]
- I want to stop being the cold one.
- That's great.
[laughs] Yes!
And I want to stop being a fucking lawyer.
- Oh!
- I can't stand it.
- Yes! Mmm!
- [laughs]
- What do you want to do instead?
- I want to be
an event planner.
- Yes!
- [Lola] Oh, my God!
- Well done! I didn't expect that at all!
- But
It makes me happy and I'm good at it.
I could set up my own company.
I made a business plan
and it's feasible.
- Oh!
- If anybody can do it, Nerea, it's you.
- Mmm.
- Thank you.
- [Lola] Oh! My event planner!
- But
[Nerea] No! Put me down!
- [all laughing]
- [Nerea] Aaah! Please! Put me down!
- [Lola] I'm taking her!
[Nerea] No!
- Okay, everybody. Listen up.
- Wow.
So, we all said it out loud.
And now, my bitches, we have to do it.
