- [FIREWORKS POPPING]
- [GUZMÁN BREATHING SHAKILY]
- [MAN] Guzmán.
Guzmán.
I need to ask you a few questions.
What happened?
LAKE CLUB
Look, I need you to tell me
what you saw here tonight.
What happened?
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS]
[SIREN WAILING]
[INSPECTOR] Guzmán.
Relax, son.
Everything's gonna be okay.
[SIRENS APPROACHING]
[SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [ENERGETIC PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
[COACH] Boys, lanes one and two.
Girls, three, four, and five.
- [GIRL] Any particular reason for this?
- [COACH] For what?
For dividing us by
gender, not by skill level.
The best swimmers could be in lane
one, and the worst in lane five.
[COACH] Just split
up like I told you to.
On your marks
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
[STUDENTS CHEERING]
[STUDENTS APPLAUD]
[BRIGHT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Your next follow-up's
not till next year,
which gives us three months to relax.
[MAN] Azucena.
Please, come in.
Muñoz, go to class.
In his own words, the school has been
a truck going downhill with
no brakes for two years.
[QUIETLY] Fuck.
And he's here to fix it.
Starting now, it seems.
[LIGHTER CLICKS]
With no notice. He fired me with
the school year underway. At my age!
Fucking school. I'm going with you.
Don't be silly. You're
staying right here.
- [LIGHTER CLICKS]
- See?
I should've gone
backpacking. I told you.
Why am I wasting my time here?
Honey, this is your last
year. Then you're done.
I know. What's the point of graduating?
In case you change your mind and
decide to continue your studies.
Stay here with Omar.
Don't worry about me.
I'll figure it out.
Where'd they find this dude?
- [REMOTE BEEPS]
- [PRINCIPAL] Discipline.
- [SOUND EFFECTS WHOOSH]
- [PRINCIPAL] Excellence. Achievement.
You might be asking yourself
what a CEO is doing
running a school like this.
The answer is very simple.
Like with any family, whenever
one of its members has a problem,
the father quickly
swoops in to the rescue.
And I think we can all
be in agreement that
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH] Let's be honest.
For the past few years, Las
Encinas has steered off course.
[STUDENT SNORING]
[OMAR GASPS]
Thanks so much for honoring
us with your attention.
- [STUDENTS LAUGH]
- Shit, sorry. I just worked late
No, no, no, no, no, no. No excuses.
No, I can't tolerate excuses.
Want some words to live by? And
this really goes for all of you.
Don't ever waste your time on excuses.
Instead, focus on
those three simple words.
"Discipline, excellence, achievement."
Welcome to this brand-new
chapter of Las Encinas.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Great race today.
- Great rival.
- Honestly, I gave it my all.
I needed to get to know you better
so I could outthink your strategy.
I kinda just go into
turbo mode and don't think.
Well, maybe that's the secret,
not thinking too much
and going into turbo.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Ari.
Guzmán. Welcome to the school.
Thank you.
Hey.
- Were you at the new principal's talk?
- Yeah.
Doesn't he seem like that basic dude
who says he's nice but is just a poser?
But he's not a poser. He's really cool.
You know that 'cause ?
He's my father.
You're joking.
[SCOFFS] Ciao.
- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING OVER EARBUDS]
- [GUZMÁN] See ya later, Ari.
- [SHOWERS RUNNING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hey.
What's up?
Hey, your eyes are wandering.
Wasn't checking out your package.
I was looking at your scar.
Was it serious?
Yeah, it was.
The fuck was that?
Car accident.
Yours?
Leukemia.
I almost died in the accident.
Bedridden for two years.
I had to do physical
therapy to move again.
They thought I was a goner for sure.
Until it miraculously went into
remission. But it could come back.
All right. You win.
[ANDER CHUCKLES]
It's nice, you know? Your package, FYI.
Since I was looking at your
scar anyway, I kind of thought
[ANDER CHUCKLES]
Sorry. Didn't mean to
make you feel awkward.
That's okay.
And he's nice, too. All right.
When they're cute and
nice, they're straight.
My gaydar is pretty great.
You might want to get
it tuned up, your gaydar.
[GUY CHUCKLES]
Nice ass, dude.
Since I was looking at your scar anyway.
[GUY CHUCKLES]
I just got here from London,
so I'm a little lost here.
Well, let me know if
I can help in any way.
Great. Then you can
take me around Madrid
and introduce me to the gay nightlife.
I don't know many gay clubs, you know.
[CHUCKLES] Are you serious?
- [ANDER] Mm-hmm.
- [GUY INHALES SHARPLY]
Hey there, handsome.
This is Patrick. Just
got here from London.
Starting today, he's in our class.
My boyfriend, Omar.
[OMAR] Well, nice to meet you.
[ANDER] Kiss him hello.
Okay. [CHUCKLES]
They kick you out of London
for being too European?
[CHUCKLES] No. Because my father's
the school's new principal.
[PRINCIPAL] Omar Shanaa?
Can you come to my office a moment?
- [OMAR SIGHS]
- [BOOKS THUD]
[PRINCIPAL] Our peaceful
coexistence at this school
is built on the basis of honesty.
That includes all of us.
The principal must be honest
with his students and vice versa.
Can we agree on that?
So let's be honest.
Shanaa. Do you deserve
a scholarship here?
- Of course he does
- [PRINCIPAL] Please don't interrupt.
I mean, my sister also came
here on a scholarship, so
Yes, it's an impressive record.
Your sister's, I mean. She
really did deserve to be here.
- Do you think you do?
- [SIGHS] Azucena saw something in me.
Could you tell me what exactly?
[OMAR TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
Because if you failed at an
average public school, then, well
[CHUCKLES] I don't think it's
because of your academic excellence.
I couldn't study because I was
taking care of my boyfriend.
He had leukemia.
I don't know if you've had to take
care of someone 24 hours a day
Yes, I have. I'm aware of all that.
And I really think what
you did was commendable.
I really do, but we need to understand
that when we are talking
about scholarships,
they're awarded for
academic achievement,
not our personal circumstances.
You following so far? Good. Hmm.
García.
And you?
I have an 80% GPA.
But you were also expelled for
serious misconduct. Isn't that right?
Yes, but that was due to
personal circumstances.
And in this situation,
we're only assessing
academic achievement, right?
[PRINCIPAL CHUCKLES SLIGHTLY]
Since I don't want the
rest of your classmates
to think you're getting some kind of
some kind of preferential treatment,
I'm gonna give you a placement exam
based on this past academic year
so that you can prove that you are,
in fact, deserving of the privilege
of having a scholarship to this school.
Hold on. What are you talking about?
Preferential treatment and privilege?
- Benjamín, I didn't go here last year
- That's all for now. Have a good day.
["NADA" PLAYING]
[GIRL] I really dig your vibe.
If you don't think that's awkward.
Thanks, I guess. I don't know
what vibe, but feel free to say it.
It's not awkward.
[GIRL] I mean, your attitude,
the way you look, the way
you walk down the hall.
Honestly, just all of you.
Shit. You just gave me a
full-body scan in one split second.
[MENCÍA SCOFFS]
Name's Rebeka, with a k.
And I let people I think
are cool call me Rebe.
Hi, Rebe.
I'm Mencía. Encantada.
My pleasure.
I'm sorry you're pissed off, Ander.
I'm not to blame for
the actions of my father.
I'm not to blame for being
pissed at what he did.
The thing with your boyfriend
and the other guy sucks.
And the mom thing.
- Let's be honest. This school needed
- What?
Look, man.
I'm not saying your mother and Omar
were dealing drugs or killing anybody.
At least not that I know of.
But who knows, if someone like
my dad had been here to be,
maybe, more on top of things
Here to patch things up with
me or just bust my balls, dude?
Patrick, what is this?
Look at him. He was just puttin'
the moves on me in the shower.
- Now he's some kind of badass?
- Ander, calm down.
You think I hit on you? You
don't have a fucking clue.
You and your father can
both go fuck yourselves.
Go on.
Come on.
[ANDER HUFFS]
Patrick.
What's up with this guy?
Okay, all right, all right. Let
me see if I get this straight.
The Barbie on the right
and Sauna Ken right there
are the new principal's children,
and today is your first day too.
Look, if it's any consolation, though,
I have pretty much exactly
the same opinion you do
about both my dad and my siblings.
[INHALES SHARPLY] Uh
[CLICKS TONGUE, GRUNTS] No.
Not gonna work for me.
Good luck now, sweetheart.
["NADA" CONTINUES PLAYING]
Maybe today you'll even talk to me.
Or not.
I get the hint.
Dad, it's always the same thing.
We come into a new place
like a fucking bulldozer.
- [BENJAMÍN] Watch your mouth.
- Sorry. Like a bulldozer.
And in the end, we're the
one they take it out on.
Can you define "bulldozer"?
Firing the other principal
out of nowhere, for example.
But that's what I came here for.
He didn't warn us we were
leaving London either. You know?
That's how Benjamín operates.
Mencía, please, let's not.
I got the cold shoulder
from my whole class today.
And you did, too.
Like, seriously, you don't
always have to take his side.
Did that happen?
No. It went great.
Let's get glasses to toast.
Sure, so I made it all up.
And the exam to kick out the
kids on scholarship? Why do that?
I get that you want to fix
things, but pace yourself.
What are you gonna
have left for next week?
You just got here. Your first morning,
you've turned the place on its head.
- Bam! I don't
- Let's change the subject.
We're supposed to be celebrating
us all being in Madrid together,
if I can get a waiter.
- Ari. Jesus.
- Why's everyone so slow here in Spain?
And there's all these weird
smells. Um, like patchouli.
- Ari.
- [ARI] Patrick.
Dad's on a mission. We're
here to support however we can.
No, we're only here 'cause we're minors.
If I was old enough, I wouldn't
be here looking at your faces.
You know, I almost forgot
how much of a treat you are.
Okay, look, I'm going home.
It's been fun, but I'm
sick of this posing.
- [ARI] Mencía, sit down.
- [BENJAMÍN] Mencía, sit down.
Forget it. With that attitude,
we don't even want her here.
Although, I do agree with Patrick.
Maybe the exam for the
scholarship kids ?
[CHUCKLES] Oh my. Some backup.
I mean, maybe you can give them
a weekly evaluation till Christmas
or something more gradual,
where they could study.
Would you please stop
interfering in my work?
Mencía is enough on your plate.
You're not making any progress with her.
Dad.
No, it's okay. He's not wrong.
- I need the restroom.
- ["THE TOP" PLAYING]
- [SIREN WAILING]
- Put my glasses on my nightstand ♪
I don't wanna see no more ♪
I know, but this is super weird.
[GUZMÁN] Nadia, please. I'm
gonna lose my hard-on. Fuck.
[LAUGHS]
Nadia, I'm begging you.
[LAUGHS] I'm really sorry. It's
just No can do. Can't do it.
[GUZMÁN SCOFFS]
Fuck. This is a nightmare.
I just wanna touch you.
- What?
- [NADIA SIGHS]
[CAR HORNS BLARING]
I'll see you ♪
At the top of the mountain ♪
How's my brother doing?
[GUZMÁN] Your brother's fine.
Your guy's there, adapting,
working hard, studying.
- You're looking out for him, aren't you?
- Of course I'm looking out for him.
I promised you I
would, and I'm doing it.

Yeah, you think it's a game? ♪
You can picket all
you want, do graffiti,
bend over backwards.
It won't do anything.
Awesome. So why exactly did
you join us at the sit-in then?
To show you I'm on your
side and not your enemy.
And also, definitely to bust
my old man's balls a bit.
I guess I'm getting kicked to the curb.
[MENCÍA] No, maybe there is a way.
Benjamín has one massive weak spot,
my sister, Ari.
So I thought, if you
sweet-talk her a bit,
she's the only one able
to convince my father.
We'll do it. Any volunteers?
You.
- Why me?
- What do you mean, "Why?"
The girl's bougie, pretty,
and apparently kind of a bitch.
So, basically, your type.
No, no, no. Samuel's invisible to
Ari. She'd be more into Guzmán.
Not all girls are looking
for rich guys like you are.
Cayetana, can you go back to
mopping? You missed a spot. Thanks.
Oh wow, you guys are friends
with the cleaning lady?
Ah, it's a long story, but,
um we'll tell ya another time.
You're so inclusive.
And I'm here for it.
And yeah, she's right. For Ari,
a guy like Samuel's
practically invisible.
- Thanks.
- Guzmán.
No, forget it. I tried
something like that once before,
and you know how that turned out.
It ended with you getting
together with my sister.
And we're very happy together, Omar.
You don't have to fall in
love with her, you know.
- Just convince her to talk to her dad.
- Yeah, I know. But no.
Help me, O-Guzmán Kenobi.
[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]
[OMAR] You're my only hope.
Help me, dude.
[VELCRO CRACKLES]
- What?
- What?
What is it?
What is what?
[MENCÍA] I mean,
what's making you smile?
[REBE SIGHS] I'm not smilin'.
[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]
Nothing. It's just, I think maybe
I kind of like your vibe too.
Well, thanks.
Thank you for havin'
our backs out there.
So, do you have any plans for tonight?
["HACIA EL FONDO" PLAYING]
You're lookin' pretty good yourself.
Do you want a drink or anything?
Sounds like a plan.
[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]
Hey, are you and your brother and sister
triplets or something? [CHUCKLES]
Patrick and Ari are the twins.
I'm the baby and the smartest kid.
- That's why I skipped one grade ahead.
- Ah.
Hey, can you please bring us two shots?
["HACIA EL FONDO" CONTINUES PLAYING]
[CHATTING INAUDIBLY]
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
You know, it's funny. I didn't
take you for one of those girls
who falls apart over some dude.
Yeah. Me neither, believe me.
Until this one guy showed up
and completely fucked me over.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Got it.
Guys are great if you wanna fuck
and take the edge off just a bit,
but when you wanna take
things to the next level
I don't think I've
experienced that level.
- So what's his name?
- [REBE] What?
The guy who fucked with you.
Oh, uh, one of the guys
taking the exam. Samuel.
- Who, that short dude?
- [BOTH LAUGH]
[REBE] Well, I mean, look.
He doesn't seem as short
when he's lying naked in bed.
- [MENCÍA] Yeah, sure.
- [LAUGHS] But you're right.
[CHUCKLES] Well, I'll do what I can
to get you to totally drive
his name out of your mind
and replace it with another one.
That'd be ?
Mencía.
[CHUCKLES, INHALES SHARPLY]
You're like a little
time bomb, aren't ya?
And And the fact is, right now,
I'm not sure I'm ready to have
things blow up in my face again.
I get you.
But this has been great. Really great.
I mean, actually, it's been, like,
months since I've hung out with someone
the entire night like this
and felt so so relaxed,
so comfortable, so
good. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Well, that's just a small taste
of that whole next-level thing
I was telling you about.
[MUSIC SWELLS]
I gotta peace out. Okay?
So, I'll see you. I'll
see you, uh, in class.
In a few hours, I guess. Ciao.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [BRIGHT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [BIRDS SINGING]
[ARI] Thank you, María.
Where's Mencía?
[SIGHS]
[DOOR OPENS]
[PATRICK] It's always the same
with you. You're a train wreck.
- Are you just coming in right now?
- [MENCÍA] Yeah. It was a night.
I, um, I actually had to take
a friend to the, um to the ER.
[MENCÍA] I'm dead
tired. I'm going to bed.
[BENJAMÍN SCOFFS]
Dad, I got her.
[SIGHS] Mencía, are you seriously
not even gonna bother coming up with
a more credible excuse?
This is none of your
business. Stay out of it.
Of course it's my business
because you're hurting me too.
I mean, haven't you hurt
us all enough as it is?
Wow, Ari.
That was an incredibly,
incredibly low blow.
- You know what I was trying to say.
- For the last time, get out of my face.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Oh, hey.
Well, you weren't a big fan of
the sit-in and protest, I gather.
We've learned we've got to
have each other's backs here.
- Well, I'm partial to helping my family.
- Yeah.
Hey, why don't we start over?
Just pick up where we
left off after the race.
Wait, from what point?
The point when you said my dad
was a poser pretending to be nice?
No, when you said you needed
to get to know me better
so you could beat me or whatever.
- Mm-hmm.
- [GUZMÁN] You know what I think?
If you knew me, you
still couldn't beat me.
But I'm willing to let you
get to know me just a smidge.
Then we'll see.
Wanna go get a drink after school?
- [ARI EXHALES]
- [GUZMÁN] Hmm.
[PATRICK ON PHONE SPEAKER]
Ander, it sucks that things
got fucked up today.
'Cause the way we started
out was fuckin' amazing.
Why don't we go out
tonight and patch this up?
There's a gay meetup thing
today at the Barceló Theatre.
Great music and hot guys.
And don't worry about your boyfriend.
I'm, uh, gonna try to steal
the answers to the test
from my dad somehow.
- And?
- [OMAR SIGHS]
He's implying if you go
out and suck his dick
[ANDER SCOFFS]
then maybe, sure,
he might give you the
answers to the exam tomorrow.
Ander, Mencía was very clear.
[WHISPERING] Ari's our target.
You don't have to go
anywhere near Patrick.
- Okay?
- [ANDER] Mm-hmm.
- ["LEMON" PLAYING]
- Day after day ♪
Flying days in space ♪
Over its dark, sullen screen ♪
He said to me ♪
- [ARI] Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Let's cut to the chase.
- [GUZMÁN] Thanks. Okay. About what?
What do I need to know
about you to beat you?
Why so obsessed with winning?
Oh, 'cause you're not obsessed?
I used to be. Then life
put my priorities in check.
Come on. You sound like an
old man. What are you, 40?
Well, when your sister
dies at the age of 16,
then your best friend dies, and
your girlfriend starts a new life
Wait, you have a girlfriend?
Of all the things I said,
that's all you heard?
[CHUCKLES]
Well, I already know what
it's like to lose someone
and have your whole
life turned upside down.
You don't look like
you've ever lost anything.
What's the last thing
you've lost? A hamster?
My mother.
And almost my brother too.
[SIGHS] She died in a car accident.
I'm sorry. I'm a dickhead.
- I've lost three hamsters.
- [CHUCKLES]
And I'm still trying to get over it.
You also bring your girlfriend here?
The past's the past, you know?
[ARI] Hey.
In our class,
is everyone as personable
and charming as you are,
or are you one of a kind?
Well, thanks. [CHUCKLES]
They're just on their
guard 'cause of your father.
But if you loosen up, they will too.
- You'll be one of the gang.
- Loosen up?
The whole exam for Samuel and Omar,
you don't think that's a bit cruel?
Look, maybe there are other ways
to prove that they
deserve the scholarship.
Hmm. Could you ask your
dad to maybe let up a bit?
[SIGHS] I already hinted as much,
but once my father makes his
mind up about something
I see.
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
But, anyway, maybe I can try again.
Hey, would you?
That's fucking great. Thanks.
[SIGHS]
Really, thanks a lot.
You're welcome.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- No.
Uh, do you wanna come out to
dinner with me and your sister?
Go out with why?
So we can spend some time
together and open a dialogue.
I think it's a good idea.
Patrick suggested it, but
But he's not coming?
That's Patrick. He makes
a mess and then runs away.
- [ARI] Are you coming or not?
- Yeah, no. Sounds good, but I'll pass.
Okay, look, um, I'm tired
of making an effort with you.
- I'm done.
- Dad, come on.
No, just just forget it.
It's clear you're not
capable of handling her.
[SIGHS]
Now that's more the tone I
expected out of you, Benjamín.
Let's be honest, it was Well,
it wasn't really your thing.
That perfect father-of-the-year vibe.
You couldn't even fool yourself.
[BENJAMÍN] How's this?
From this moment forward,
you're blocked from accessing
my money on all your accounts.
I'll give you whatever is
required by law. No more, no less.
Fine. Then I'll just get a job, won't I?
- [LAUGHS] Oh, you will?
- [MENCÍA] Mm-hmm.
In what?
You haven't worked a day
in your miserable life.
Mencía. You brought
this all on yourself.
I don't know how to make you understand
you don't have to fight Dad and us.
Look, Patrick went out
with some classmates today.
And I
You had a date with Guzmán, and
you're floating on air, aren't you?
You're such an idiot.
Guzmán went out with you to
get those guys out of that exam.
I know 'cause it was my idea.
Yeah. Ari, they're all
using you. So drop it.
He's majorly in love with his girlfriend
and wants nothing to do with you.
All he wanted was to talk
you into convincing Benjamín
because that's all anyone is going
to be interested in you for, Ari.
Or did you really let yourself think
a guy like Guzmán would be interested?
Have you taken a look at yourself?
Wake up! You look like an idiot.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
["QUIERO LLORAR" PLAYING]
I'M LEAVING HOME RIGHT NOW.
I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU.
I'LL WAIT FOR YOU
WHERE WE MET LAST NIGHT.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
[GRUNTING]
[PANTING]
- [READER BEEPS]
- [MENCÍA] Shit.
[MAN] May I?
[READER BEEPS]
Thanks.
- Can I sit with you?
- [MENCÍA CLICKS TONGUE]
Listen, thanks for the drink, but
I'd rather just keep sitting here.
- Alone.
- Well, when you put it that way. [SIGHS]
Someone stand you up?
[SCOFFS] All right, all right.
[SIGHS] See you later.
Hold up.
Sorry.
I feel like a bitch.
You didn't deserve the
way I just treated you.
Have a seat if you want.
[EXHALES] What's in the bag?
I'm kinda looking for a place to crash.
Ah?
Excuse me. Another round.
- [EXCITED CHATTER]
- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANDER] This place is great.
Welcome to paradise.
[LIGHT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
[BENJAMÍN] What's the matter?
Is it about Mencía?
[SIGHS] No.
I'm okay.
- [SAMU CLEARS THROAT] Benjamín.
- [BENJAMÍN] Yes, uh, dessert.
- Ari, you want to share
- No.
I'm not here to take your
order. I'm working bar up there.
Sorry to bother you, but
I'd like to talk to you.
Right now? [SCOFFS]
You're unbelievable. [SIGHS]
- Oh, did you already tell him, or
- What? Tell me what?
This is about tomorrow's exam, I assume?
Because it seems like everything
is about that damn test.
- Ari.
- No, he's gonna ask you to excuse him.
- Is that it?
- [SAMU] No.
- Right?
- If I have to take the exam, I'll take it.
It's about Omar.
- Please don't make him take it.
- [ARI SCOFFS]
- Anything for dessert?
- Wait just a second.
No. Yes, we do want dessert.
Dude, can you take a walk
and come back in a few? Okay?
Listen to me. You asked him whether
he deserved to be at Las Encinas.
Well, he does, I promise.
He always gives 150%.
He helps his parents, his
boyfriend, and he helps me.
Because I'm his best
friend, and we live together.
And he's the only family I
have, sir. And I'm so sick of it.
Losing all the people
I care about the most.
- [WAITER] Samuel, what's going on here?
- Nothing.
I am so sorry.
- No, no, really. It's no big deal.
- I'll take care of this.
Of course, this will all be
on the house. My apologies.
[BENJAMÍN SIGHS]
Go collect your things
'cause you're fired.
You think I should listen to
you? Forget about the exam?
Find another evaluation method?
No.
Give them the exam tomorrow.

Hey, Satan. What are you doing?
Satan? Moi? I'm a sweet little cherub.
[CHUCKLES] Cherub, my ass, dude.
- What're you up to?
- Nothing.
Well, go do nothing over there.
I have a boyfriend.
Yeah, but did you know it's not cheating
if the action's over the clothes?
- Oh, it's not?
- [PATRICK] Uh-uh.
- [SIGHS]
- So, that's that. So back the fuck off.
Don't misbehave. Hey!
But I'm not doing anything.
It sounded like you
wouldn't hook up with me
even if someone paid you, right?
Are you hooking up with me right now?
You aren't, are you? So, that's that.
[ANDER SIGHS]
[PATRICK] Here's a secret.
It's riskier to try and tell
yourself no than it is to say yes.
And your clothes are
on, so it's not cheating.
Stop, man. Stop.
Look, how far would you go to help Omar?
Or is this no longer about helping him?
[PANTS UNZIP]
Okay, that's enough. All right?
I'd do anything I could to help Omar.
Just like he did everything for me
when I couldn't get
out of my fucking bed.
I'd do anything but betray him.
- [LOCK BEEPS]
- It's all yours.
No need to worry about
your father or anything.
Whatever you need, as
long as you need it. Okay?
Um, but hold on a minute.
I don't know if
[SIGHS] No, I have more
than one room in my name.
- It's for work.
- Oh.
Meetings, celebrities, and all that.
Um, well, okay.
[MAN CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[SIGHS]
What do you do, then?
Um, you know when a
politician's really powerful?
Like a president or a
minister, for instance?
Well, actually, they don't have that
much power. 'Cause I'm in charge.
[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]
- Like Rasputin.
- Ah. [CHUCKLES]
I read a lot. I'm also extremely smart.
Yep. [TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
Well, if you ever need
anything or get hungry,
call up room service and have
them put it on my bill. All right?
Appreciate it.
Are you all right?
Uh, yeah. Fine.
It's just that, I mean,
it's a very big room to
sleep in all alone. [CHUCKLES]
[MAN CHUCKLES]
Would you consider staying
here and sleeping with me?
- Just sleep, you mean?
- [MENCÍA] Yes.
- No.
- [SCOFFS] No?
[BOTH LAUGH]
Okay. Good night.
Armando.
You're name's Armando, right?
- [ARMANDO] Mm-hmm.
- Um
Come on and stay.
[CHUCKLES]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Dad, Mencía's gone.
[CLICKS TONGUE] She'll be back.
Yeah, but Dad
She can't go far without any money.
And I think we're used
to this sort of stunt
she pulls to get attention.

Shanaa, in an hour, you and García
take the exam in the computer lab.
That's it. I'm completely fucked.
Hello, pretty boys.
Leave us alone, will you?
[PATRICK SIGHS]
You might be interested in this.
The answers?
So, you went out last night after all?
Well, you have the answers
there. That's what matters.
[SHEET CRINKLES]
I see. Is there anything
I should know, or ?
Mm, no. We just danced a bit.
- Right?
- [PATRICK] Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
[ANDER] I didn't think he'd
give them to us. But look.
[OMAR SIGHS]
How do we know these are even accurate?
- Why would I wanna dick you over?
- To get me out of the way? I don't know.
Look, we got off to a
fucking terrible start.
And this is the only way I
could think of to apologize.
If you wanna know if I really mean it,
just use those answers and find out.

LOAD EXAM RESULTS
Seventy-three out of 100.
You passed.
[SAMU SIGHS]
[BENJAMÍN] I spoke to your manager
to ask him to hire you back again.
I explained to him that you
were only trying to help.
[SAMU] Thank you.
[BENJAMÍN] But García, let
me offer you a word of advice.
Sure.
[BENJAMÍN EXHALES]
Stop fighting other people's battles
for them, and focus on your own.
All that being said, you
displayed great confidence,
your argument was concise,
direct, a clearly stated thesis.
And although you went a little
overboard with the emotions,
it was a sound strategy.
I can never have too many
students at this school
who have such a facility with words.
Welcome.
All right.
[BENJAMÍN] How do you
think you did on the exam?
Um mm
I did okay. Uh, I think so.
You just think?
[OMAR SIGHS]
Ninety-seven out of one hundred.
Someone who got an almost-perfect
grade knows they did.
It takes someone who's incredibly dense
to get almost 100% when
they're trying to cheat.
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH] Yeah, well
Mm, either dense or a hard worker.
Okay then.
I guess I'm staying right here
with my scholarship,
my uniform, the works.
That'll be all.
Great. Have a good day.
[DOOR CLOSES]
- [CAYETANA] And?
- [OMAR AND ANDER LAUGH]
- So? Tell us.
- That's awesome. Look at you!
Really, what did you get?
Uh, 97.
- You serious?
- You did?
And look at that. You were so worried.
That's so wild. That's crazy.
Yeah, and he was so worried.
[SIGHS] Hey, dude. Um
Hey, thanks a lot.
I mean it.
- It's nothing.
- [ANDER] Thank you.
- Ah, yes!
- [CAYETANA LAUGHING] Oh man!
Did you tell your father yet?
- [OMAR] No, I haven't.
- So, all we did was dance? [CHUCKLES]
- You don't think that.
- [CAYETANA] Your sister's gonna flip.
- [SAMU] Seriously.

This is your girlfriend's

I've been chatting with her.
She is such a sweetheart.
We got along super well.
Told her about our date yesterday.
The way the sparks flew, all of it.

You lied to me to get what you
wanted, and I just lied to you.
[EXHALES] You.
What?
Tell your friend I haven't written
to his girlfriend so he can breathe.
If either of you thought you could
dominate or get one over on me,
well, think twice next time.
