The Chameleon: Unchangeable Past

Here's your tea.

Are you sure it was Gilabert's daughter?

Very sure.

I saw her on the day of the interview. Here she is on Instagram. It's her, look.

How old is she?

Mm.

- Sixteen. - Hold on.

You only saw her leave the apartment.

Maybe she went to give him some notes for his stepdaughter,

leave something for her father. I don't know. To see the paintings.

No, Alejo. None of that. It's impossible.

So what are you planning to do?

I don't know.

I think I should tell Gilabert.

And what would you tell him? That you saw her leave the apartment?

You have no proof of anything.

Don't pressure Gilabert about the interview.

Go ahead with this. That's what you want, right?

Yes. That's what I want.

I've known Salvador all my life.

I know his surroundings perfectly, so...

I think there's no one better than me to expose him.

- Hello there. What's all this? - Hello.

How is the mom and daughter?

I interrupted something. I have a feeling.

- I'll leave you to it. - Don't.

- Bye. - Bye.

I'm done with everything.

- Are you? - I am.

- The guests? - Everything.

Very well.

- Iris? Did she confirm? - Yes, she confirmed she's not coming.

Look what I have for you.

Beautiful.

You're one of a kind.

Tucumán versus San Diego.

The match begins, ladies and gentlemen. Unforgettable match. Historical...

- What happened? Where were you? - Hi, honey.

- Is everything okay? - Yes, my day got a little complicated.

And you? What did you do with Sofi? Did you get a nanny?

- Did you call one? - No. She came with me, she was very good.

- She won over a couple of producers. - Look at that.

- How did it go? - Actually, it was very good.

I might be taking Mariano's place as presenter this summer.

- Really? That's great. - Yes.

- That's great, honey. - Yes, honey. Yes.

Look at the note I wrote to Vanini and tell me what you think, please.

Okay, I'll look at it. I'm sure you did great.

I missed you.

- Me too. - How much?

A lot?

A lot.

I want to take a shower. I want to wash this day off.

Okay, go. Quickly.

...seems like too little. Since it's the last match...

- Hello? - Hello? Yes.

I'm looking for Dr. Arias.

I'm sorry, Celina. I didn't know.

You didn't have to know.

I tried to reach you at the office, but I couldn't find you.

Right. I'm not working.

I referred my patients to a colleague

who has the same style as me.

So, if you want, I can give you her number.

- Ah... - Mm.

- Okay. - What happened?

It's urgent.

I almost started using it again last night.

Mm-hm.

How did it happen?

I was with a friend of mine,

- a lifelong friend. - Mm-hm.

She did a line.

I kept the leftovers. I don't know why,

but after a while, I remembered I had it.

I saw it

and I almost did it.

What friend?

Diana.

Carvallo.

Salvador's daughter.

Mm-hm.

- Is she back in the country? - Yes.

She came to his dad's exhibition, which is happening now.

Did you see him?

I ran into him at an interview. Yes.

He looks the same.

Well, older...

And I got older too.

But I felt like I was 16 again.

And that everything that had happened in between...

My family, my husband,

my daughter, my job,

it was all a dream.

Like it wasn't real life.

It was so powerful.

I can imagine.

Sabrina, where were you when you almost...

started using again?

- I can't get it out of my head. - Mm.

He came back with a strength that I hate.

I can't stop thinking.

What do you think?

- I think that what separated us... - Mm-hm.

...at the time

no longer exists, I mean, the age difference.

The age difference still exists.

It existed and it was very serious.

I loved him.

And I know he did too.

And maybe, back then, I don't know, we didn't find a way to relate

in a healthy way.

But I drove him crazy too.

You were 16, Sabrina.

And you spent all this time

trying to find a way to be okay, right?

Can I ask for your colleague's number?

No.

I have a better idea.

Are you revisiting your paintings?

Actually, I don't need to. I have it all in my memory.

- Uruguay, right? - Yes.

That was the summer Diana invited her. She wouldn't go back, no matter what.

She's just like Sabrina.

Hey, mister!

Everyone says she's just like me.

What about the husband? Do we like him or not?

Yes. We like Franco.

Everything is exactly the same as last time.

Except us.

Earl Grey with cardamom.

Excellent memory.

There were a lot of teas.

I'm sure of it.

That's why I don't get why you don't want to come.

It's in the past.

Besides, what for?

Why do you want to draw me again? My face in a painting again?

Can't you humor me?

- But I don't want to be seen like this. - Like what?

Like this, as I am now.

I want to be remembered as you painted me.

You look beautiful, Iris. And I don't want to paint the Iris of the past.

I want to do something big for the exhibition with you.

And I want everyone to know that what I see in you is intact.

Although, of course, you have to realize that first.

Iris.

- Iris. - No, stop it.

Iris.

Stop it. Don't start.

Delfina!

Delfina! Hi.

How are you? I was at your house the other day interviewing your dad.

Yes.

Give me a minute. I'll be right there. Okay.

- Can I talk to you for a minute? - I have no idea about my dad.

Talk to him.

No, it's not about your dad. It's about you.

What about me?

I want to talk about your relationship with Salvador.

- You're too young. You'll get hurt. - I don't know what you're saying.

I saw you with him, Delfina.

- Listen to me, it's for your own good. - Don't fuck with me!

Let's go.

- And you? - Me too.

Here it is.

- Did you bring me the 2008? - No, you said 2007.

- Honey, can you bring me the box, please? - We had an agreement.

Yes, but this is different.

Is it work or not?

- Yes. - Well then?

Sabrina needs me.

She's this close to putting herself at risk.

- I feel like I owe her. - You don't owe anyone anything.

During treatment, rest and rest. You know that.

- Honey? - What?

The box, please.

You're not going to stop, are you?

No.

Change the ring. Yes.

- Yes? - Hi. How are you?

- I'm looking for Diana. - Who are you?

Sabrina, a friend.

We agreed to meet and she gave me this address.

No, she's not here, but she'll be here soon.

Do you want to wait inside?

- Okay. - Okay, come in.

- Thank you. Excuse me, hi. - Hi, how are you?

Sit down if you want.

Do you want weed?

No, thank you.

Something to eat or drink?

How do you know Didi?

Didi? We're lifelong friends.

- Hi. - Look who's here.

I like seeing you every day.

I thought it would be just the two of us.

- I'll just grab something to drink. - Mm-hm.

Hello!

- Hi, sweetie. - Can I have a cigarette?

Do you still like this?

If you're going to do an intervention,

they don't work for me.

- What is this place? - Do you like it?

- Half of Berlin. - Hi, honey!

- Hi! - It's so nice to see you.

I missed you.

- Hi. - What a pretty hair.

- Hi. All good? - How are you?

- When did you get here? - Two days ago.

- And you'll stay forever? - I can't.

I have to work.

- Did you bring that for me? - I brought your stuff.

Thank you.

Let's hang out here for a while and then we'll go.

- Okay? - Where are we going?

Gosh! Thank you.

Do you want some?

No.

She is boring now.

She looks like fun to me.

She was. She was a lot of fun.

But now she's a responsible adult.

She's a journalist, you know. Very serious.

- She is actually very good. - Don't be stupid. I can't.

Just a little. It won't hurt.

Well, I don't want to insist.

But it'll be hard to talk to you like you want to

if you're going to be like that.

- Want some? - Yes.

What did you want to tell me?

I wanted to talk to you about when we were kids.

That we never left each other's side.

And then there was the estrangement, which was weird.

Yes, but it was you who disappeared. I didn't disappear.

But I understand. I get that I'm not the best influence and you were in...

- a dark place. - That's what I want to know.

When I left, because...

- Your dad put us in a different world. - That's why you stayed away.

I know, everything's fine. I understand.

We know each other, Sabrina. Don't look at me like that.

- I'm just surprised. - Why are you surprised?

I would've liked to have told you sooner, but I thought you'd be mad.

- Isn't it obvious? - No, it's not obvious.

Besides, he made me swear.

- Who? - Your dad.

About us.

You're so high.

- I'm serious. Listen, it's important. - Come on, let's dance.

I loved your dad a lot.

I knew it.

I could see how you looked at him.

I could tell. You were a kid. That's it, what are we going to do?

I was a kid, but it was mutual.

I had a relationship with your dad.

What are you saying?

That's what I wanted to talk about.

- What did I do to you? Huh? - Nothing. What do you mean?

What did I do for you to show up after 1,000 years

and gave me all this shit?

- Don't talk to me like that. - Are you crazy?

- Don't yell. - You're sick! Don't touch me. Get out.

Get out! Take your things. Take them and go. And don't come back.

Bye!

Look who I brought.

Hi.

Javiera is my manager and my wife.

- How are you? Nice meeting you. - Nice to meet you too.

I'm glad you decided to come.

You won't believe what Salvador is preparing for you.

I want to show her how everything turned out.

Did you prepare the room I requested to work with Iris?

Yes, of course. I'll go with her.

The curator was looking for you.

Okay.

- I'll be right there, Iris. - Okay.

- What are you listening to? - A Korean group.

- A Korean group? - Yes.

Which one is it? The one with a thousand boys?

That one.

- How's it going at the new school? - Everything's fine.

- Is Delfina helping you? - Yes, she's cool.

- Isn't she? What do you think? - Very cool.

- She's great, right? - Yes.

Mm.

You know that if you need anything, just let me know, right?

Yes, I know. Thank you.

Jorge?

Excuse me. One second.

You're definitely following me.

No. Can I have my phone?

- Your cell phone. - Thank you very much.

- I'm leaving. - No. What do you mean?

Have a drink. Two whiskeys, please.

How do you know Salvador?

Salvador. How do you know him?

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.
