Original subtitles

300 mg of aspirin and 2 ticagrelor tablets.

My colleague is coming.

How are you? Honestly.

Bad.

Are you still in touch? Like friends...

At the beginning of Covid, yes. But not anymore.

She was in France and she must still be there.

See you tonight.

On Wednesday, we're going to the maternity ward.

Until then, let's not think about it, OK?

Are you going to tell me what's going on with you?

You're right.

- What's going on with me? - Yes.

I'm starting to forget about Dad's death.

If you're having fun, if you're drinking, if you're going out...

it doesn't matter either.

Something's really happening to me.

Come on.

Get up.

Thanks for the coffee. Is that for me?

You can drink it downstairs.

Come here.

Please.

Are you getting dressed?

Okay.

Are you on duty tomorrow?

Yes.

You should switch to Thursday.

- That way, we'll see each other. - Okay.

Luis and Clara saw us.

What?

- Where? - We were leaving the duty room.

- Does that bother you? - Me?

Not at all. I think it's fantastic.

- Fantastic? - Yes. Fantastic.

Really.

Come on. So, are you leaving?

- Shouldn't I stay for dinner? - Do you want to meet my mom?

Please.

Stop it.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Shit.

- Happy New Year! - You too.

- Happy birthday. - Thank you.

- Everything okay? - Yes.

Do you live here?

No.

Did you go back to Madrid?

I'm here for a few days to see my family.

I'm still in Lyon.

- How are you? - Fine.

Shall we go for a drink?

- You're in a hurry. - A little, yes, but...

Let's go for a coffee.

Okay.

So...

This way?

Did you go out last night?

Not long. I came home early.

- Can we order? - I'm coming.

Shall we sit down?

Let's sit here.

- Here? - Yes.

I'm listening.

- Coffee? - Decaf. With milk.

A decaf with milk and an oat milk latte.

Very well.

- Oat milk? - Oat milk, yup.

No more parties, oat milk...

And you have gray hair.

Yes, how awful! I have lots of it.

- It suits us. - Yes. You have a few.

How's your mom?

She's better.

Yes, really.

That's good.

- I thought about your father. - Why?

- I wanted to take a taxi. - Did you pull the...

The cell phone trick, yes.

- Did it work? - I took the taxi.

A lady started screaming...

How does he do it?

I don't know, but it never fails. He always pulls it off.

Give him a kiss for me.

So you take taxis now.

That's right.

Yes...

Two coffees.

- Yours must be this one. - That's the decaf.

How are things in Lyon? Do you like it there?

I have a son.

His name is Pablo. He's 4 months old.

Wow...

Yes.

I find it hard to believe too.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

How wonderful.

That's great.

- I'm a little... - That's normal.

Don't worry, I understand.

- Is everything okay? - Yes. Very well.

And you?

- I didn't have children. - No!

How are you? What's new?

I moved, to Puerta de Toledo.

- Great neighborhood. - It has a balcony. It's bright.

- Your succulents love it. - They're having a blast! You have no idea.

What's that?

- Nothing... - Occupational hazard.

I keep burning myself.

- Your signature dish? - All of them.

All of them! There must be one.

I'm an expert at tortillas. I add my own touch.

Your own touch.

Still in La Paz?

I'm in the internal medicine department.

Okay.

No more emergency room?

I'm a temp. But it looks that way, yes.

I'm happy for you.

You're a mom.

Yes.

It's weird. It's my first time out without him,

and it's like I'm missing a leg. Rocío is babysitting him.

- It must be hard... - Yes, definitely.

Do you remember your super intense shifts?

It's the same, but every day.

As if...

it changed...

absolutely everything.

But...

it's beautiful.

Your son is so lucky!

- I don't know. - Yes, he is.

He's very lucky.

How was it all that time?

Fine.

Bad. Fine.

Life.

I wanted to call you, but...

At the same time... I...

I still have your boxes.

My boxes?

You never came to get them.

Yes, but... There was hardly anything in them.

I have them. You didn't reply to my message.

That's true. But...

What a message! Anyway...

Seriously. What could I say to that?

What should I have done?

- Throw them away. - It's your stuff.

Hardly anything. Trinkets.

- Anyway, I have them. - Still?

Does that make you laugh?

No, not at all, but it's strange.

You disappear, and it makes you laugh.

What? I didn't disappear. It doesn't make me laugh.

- You disappeared. - That's not true, Óscar.

Okay. Well... I...

Óscar, I didn't disappear.

I went to Lyon, there was a pandemic,

it turned my life upside down and I stayed there.

Three years. One message. “How are you?”

It wasn't...

But anyway.

I'm going to go.

That's not what I...

- I'd better go. - Don't get upset.

I'm not upset.

I do everything wrong.

- I didn't say that. - I'm the one saying it.

I don't know. Take care of yourself.

- How much do I owe you? - It's on me.

No, it's on me. Leave it.

3.20.

Thanks.

It's the 1st, I feel bad about about bothering you.

No problem, I live across the street. I'll turn the light on.

16 tables. 9 in the back and 7 in the front.

I was thinking of fewer tables, but...

The kitchen is big, there's plenty to do.

Can I take a look at the bar?

Of course. That's what we're here for.

Go ahead.

- Is the ventilation working? - Perfectly.

Since the glasses are underneath.

We only used the kitchen.

Can the beer taps be replaced?

Don't you like the national beer?

Just wondering, in case...

Yes, they can be replaced.

I've renovated the gas and electricity installations.

The premises are operational.

Yes, it's very good. It offers lots of possibilities.

I hadn't quite imagined it like this, but it's fine.

Did you want to do French cuisine?

No, let's say...

I want a smaller menu, focused on the product.

I was thinking of a smaller space.

French cuisine.

You should make it easier for yourself, the restaurant is doing well.

It's a gold mine.

So why are you closing?

Precisely because I've earned enough

and I want to go back to my village,

near Salamanca.

What?

- You don't believe me? - What?

You don't believe me?

Can I see the kitchen?

Yes. Go ahead. At the back on the right.

So, are you going to open the door or what?

Where are you?

Where are you coming from?

Are we eating or... I'm in front of your place.

I see, you haven't slept.

Great!

Yes, I'll let them know and I'll tell you. Without a reservation, it's going to be tough.

Hi. Happy New Year!

Are you at home?

I'm not far away, and I don't know...

I'll come by to see you. Maybe you'll be there.

I was listening to your message.

- I didn't know if you were there. - Yes! Hello.

Happy New Year.

- It's great to see you. - Is this a good time?

Yes. Come in.

I'm leaving soon.

But I'm finishing something and then I'm all yours.

- Would you like something to drink or eat? - No, I'm fine.

- The workshop is great. - It is, right?

But it's changed.

Yes, “an artist” has just moved in.

- “An artist”? - It's recent.

It's been two months. And we've made some really cool changes.

I see. Well...

Ok, this is done. Now tell what happened.

- Are you still using that thing? - What?

That thing...

- AI? It's awesome. - We're headed for disaster.

Stop being so dramatic.

You know who I saw?

No.

Ana... Ana? How is she?

Good. We ran into each other.

We had coffee and...

Great.

She's a mom.

She has a four-month-old son.

I was... kinda ..

- In shock? - I love these three paintings.

Yes, they're beautiful.

Yes, I was...

Yes.

My love, listen.

I have a vital emergency, I'll be late.

I might not make it at all.

I'll keep you posted. Love you.

- Don't worry. - It's nothing.

I have a lunch date.

Oh, you have an appointment?

OK. No problem.

My love, it's me again.

Forget what I said.

I'm taking a shower and I'll be right there. Kisses. I love you.

- How did it go? - It went really badly.

Why?

We started talking and after 5 minutes, things went south.

- We had a fight. - I'm taking a shower.

Yes.

You told me you hadn't seen her again, right?

I feel anxious. Do you have anything against that?

No, I don't have that kind of thing.

Fuck, she has a son...

I wasn't expecting that.

At the same time...

I know, but come on... fuck.

- Do you know his name? - No.

What if he is Óscar.

- His name is Pablo. - Pablo, okay.

I'm pissed off. What a mess!

You did your best.

No, definitely not.

That's how you feel now.

But your former self couldn't have done any better.

You're quoting Jordi, right?

Yes, I'm quoting Jordi. Pass me the towel.

I told you, you should go see him.

Yeah. We'll see.

Not because of meeting Ana.

For a number of reasons.

All I see are people who've been in therapy.

Everyone should mind their own shit.

So? Are you going to see each other again?

What? After what happened, definitely not.

- Listen. - What?

Happy birthday! I didn't wish you a happy birthday yesterday.

I almost took her hands when she told me about her son.

And I pulled them away. Ridiculous!

- It's not ridiculous at all. - Yeah, right!

Don't say that, Óscar. Given the situation, it was normal.

I have a question, because it's not clear.

But how did she look to you?

Excuse me.

What time is it?

Hi. How are you?

1:30 PM.

- What? - 1:30 PM.

Keep sleeping.

Who's that?

A friend.

Emi knows.

- Is everything okay? - Yes.

Yes, everything's fine.

We're doing what we can.

You didn't answer my question.

You saw each other, it went okay.

Other than that...

did she seem okay to you?

Yeah, she was fine.

And what did she think about you?

She told me about her son after a minute.

I pulled one of those faces. She must have thought...

- I don't know. - Okay.

You felt good before, didn't you?

Yeah, you could say that.

That's what matters. You're both fine.

You shared a lot of things with Ana. You loved each other.

She's doing well. That's great.

Yes, you're right.

Vero, you look ugly!

- Are you having lunch with someone? - And you?

Yes. But I'll buy you a drink, for your birthday.

What a surprise!

Come here.

I'm sorry, I'm come here like a...

Don't worry, that's what friends are for.

- I can't on Wednesday. - Why?

I have an appointment.

What appointment?

I'm getting Baby Botox injections.

What are you talking about?

- Here, there, and there. - Are you serious?

Baby Botox. It's microdoses.

Microdoses?

Everyone does it.

It's Botox, it's the same thing.

Jaime, have you done it?

Not yet.

All actresses do it.

- He fell asleep. - Was it difficult?

What's going on?

She's getting Botox injections.

- What? Are you joking?

I'm not going to get Botox. That's not the same.

Irene, it's Botox.

We'll talk about it later. It's not a good idea.

Happy birthday!

What a beautiful cake!

Make a wish.

- What did you ask for? - We're not supposed to tell.

It's a secret!

Let's drink to my daughter Ana.

- With a glass of water. - Come on!

- Eye to eye. - Eye to eye!

- Eye to eye. - For Ana.

And for those who are gone.

As well

What is it?

What's going on?

You rascals! What is it? So exciting!

Let's see.

- Honey! - What is it?

Thank you very much.

What is it?

It's an invitation

to go to dinner at an incredible restaurant.

- In a fucking good restaurant! - Don't be rude.

It has a star, right?

Two stars, I think.

You're going to be amazed.

- Is it for today? - Yes.

It's going to take forever.

Don't worry, I'll take care of Pablo.

I already went out this morning.

- And it went well. - Exactly, that's a lot.

- What did you do? - I worked.

Ana saw a friend.

- Who? - Clara. You don't know her.

Why don't we go at Easter instead?

-Ana, come on, it'll do us good.

Ana! He booked it months ago!

And at Easter, who knows where we'll be?

Looking after my grandson makes me happy.

- I figured that, Mom. - Yes!

Otherwise, I'll go in your place! I'll sacrifice myself.

I'll go with her.

The gifts!

Wait.

Which one should we give her first? This one.

Open them!

Please don't yell.

Of course.

No, I'll go.

I'm coming, my love.

Yes, I know.

We're making a lot of noise, huh?

We're making a lot of noise. I'm here, my love.

It's over.

I don't know what to choose. Are you hungry?

I could eat a horse.

VIPS Club.

Excuse me!

What's Palo having?

The chicken bowl, right?

The chicken bowl?

That's it. Three minutes of peace and quiet.

Go on. Who were you with?

With friends.

- What friends? - You don't know them.

Did you know them?

Come with us this weekend.

Sure, the whole weekend!

Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Please!

- How long have we been here? - 2 minutes. Calm down.

Be patient.

I was an idiot.

Don't say that.

Sorry. I could have spared myself the evening at the Max.

- The Max is... - In Tetuán.

Yes.

The Max is always lame.

Not always...

- Anyway. - What did you do?

- We finished a book. - “We”?

It's an audiobook, and we listen to it before going to sleep.

That's crazy!

It's great. "Les Gratitudes ," by Delphine de Vigan. Read it.

Really. It's beautiful.

- Here she is. - VIPS on January 1st. Seriously?

Óscar was feeling nostalgic.

You didn't cook.

Tomorrow! David will be there.

He'll make up for it.

You were supposed to be reasonable...

- Happy New Year. - Come tomorrow.

Happy birthday! Yesterday?

It was okay. Lucía's friends are a bit excessive.

That reminds me of something.

- Hi, sweetheart. - Hi. Hey there.

Please! Over here.

- That retard isn't looking at me. - Calm down!

That's rude!

She's busy.

How's your dad?

He's with his domino buddies.

Can you imagine when we're old?

- We'll eat with the FIFA guys. - Definitely, yes!

Or with the guys from the club in Tetuán.

The Max?

- Don't mention it. - I swear!

He went to the Max?

What?

I love you.

A VIPS Club. And another beer.

Okay.

He hasn't slept.

He says he has, but...

He definitely hasn't.

What are you having?

I saw Ana this morning.

Fuck!

We ran into each other.

And?

It was a disaster.

Why?

We went for coffee and it...

She has a son.

You knew?

Well... she posted photos

when she was pregnant, and...

Since you told us you didn't want to know anything...

At first.

Óscar! How could I have known?

You never asked about her.

We didn't really know what to do,

but we thought you didn't want...

I don't know. I'm sorry.

OK.

Will you show me her Insta?

- Don't do it. - Please.

Okay.

If you want to see...

We sauté the onion

finely chopped, and the whole garlic, unpeeled.

Great.

Hi. Can I come in?

Yes, come in.

- How are you? - I'm fine.

Are you managing?

Yeah, more or less.

You don't feel like going to a restaurant, huh?

- I'm going to ask you a question. - Go ahead.

How long before you fuck again, more or less?

For me...

Let me remind you that I had two...

I don't remember. It took a very long time.

I'm feeling really down.

Sorry.

That's normal. It's the hormones.

The episiotomy, the new life...

That's what everyone says.

I don't know, Manu is...

He's trying to get closer, you know...

And I can't do it.

I don't want to.

It's because you're not in love with him anymore.

You're in love with Pablo,

but you'll get over it.

In theory.

Okay.

I'm a cow!

My little girl.

I've been keeping her boxes for 3 years,

and she asks me why I haven't thrown them away.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I couldn't either.

Take all my boxes.

I took a lot, but there are still some left.

At first, when I would pick up David, she would say, “What about your boxes?”

But she stopped.

- That's normal, isn't it? - Yes.

We can take them.

Look who's here. Say hello to Óscar.

- Hey kiddo! - Dad!

His father first.

It's been a long time.

Happy New Year. Happy birthday.

- Thank you. - Are you okay?

Yes.

Are you okay?

Give Mom a kiss.

Will you give me a hug?

Here. I put two pairs of pajamas in, just in case.

Don't forget the paracetamol. Every 6 hours.

The dose is written on the box.

OK.

Right... I'll call you tomorrow.

Are you coming?

Do you think that's normal?

What?

He's high.

I don't know.

It's not the first time.

We don't see each other much these days.

But...

Do you think he's not doing well?

He's not doing well.

If you want...

I can talk to him.

Yes, talk to him. But if this keeps going on...

I see.

- Will you stay with them for a while? - Yes.

Let's talk.

It was nice talking to you.

Our Asian-inspired dessert.

Yuzu and wasabi ice cream, with papaya, nori

from Avileñas cows,

raised in the Guadarrama mountains.

Eat the papaya with it. It counterbalances the spiciness.

The shiso last. It adds freshness.

- Perfect. Thank you. - Bon appétit.

Did you see that?

What?

He lost his mind when the other waiter came by.

- Who? - Him and him.

I think they're together.

No?

Shall we start?

Wait, listen to me. He...

has a boyfriend and he can't make up his mind.

But he really likes the other one.

What?

I... Maybe, I don't know, but...

Let's try!

He didn't say it was spicy.

There's wasabi.

That's why you have to eat papaya with ice cream.

It's good.

Yes, it's better.

- So, what's your expert opinion? - Hmm?

- What do you think of the place?

-OK: the menu...

8 out of 10

The service, a 9.

And the decor, 9.5. I love the lamps.

We could copy them.

- We can't. - Why not?

They're not coming to Lyon.

Are you OK? What's going on?

I'm not feeling too good these days.

And this morning, I didn't see Clara.

What do you mean?

I went to see a place.

A place here in Madrid?

Yes, just to see.

Do you want to come back?

I thought that here, it might be easier.

The premises are cheaper...

Things are getting complicated in Lyon.

I don't know...

I didn't want to bother you. I wanted to be sure.

- To be sure? - I didn't want to bother you with it.

- Yes, to be sure. - And I don't get a say?

Without you, I'm not coming back here.

Thanks!

Manu...

Shit!

It's not that. It's just that...

First...

we talk about things, then we make decisions.

- No? - Yes. Yes, yes.

- You're right. - I didn't mean it like that...

I just want you to be able to trust me.

I just want us to...

we can talk about these things.

Okay.

Will you forgive me?

Hi.

Are you okay?

Hi.

- Give me a second. - Yeah, don't worry.

- Are your friends okay? - Yes.

I had lunch with Palo, Ros, and Guille.

Guille, is he ok?

Yeah kinda.

Does the music bother you?

- Not at all. - Not even my music?

I'm so tired.

Me too.

Glass of wine?

I drink milk.

Milk and wine, a great feast.

“Bread and wine.”

When we eat. But we drink.

Dad, can you help me?

What with?

- Do you think he's asleep?

- I'll get the bed ready. - OK.

I'm coming soon.

- We're here. - Come in.

Not sleeping yet?

- He just woke up. - The little rascal!

- How did it go? - Very well.

Why are you awake? Yes, you.

You.

You little rascal! Why are you awake?

You're with Grandma? Was he difficult?

Not at all. He's adorable.

Yes, he's cute.

What, sweetheart?

Having a good time with Grandma, right?

And the feeling is mutual.

He's so cute!

- Come here. - No!

- Let me stay with him. I have a bottle. - No, Mom.

Yes, you go!

- That way, you can rest. - Are you sure?

Please. I'm delighted.

Okay.

You stay with Grandma.

- Go. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, my love.

- Don't hesitate to wake me up. - Yes, don't worry.

Good night.

“It's never too late to start over

”To cast off

“To break your ties”

Feeling better?

Come on, let's go home.

Is this poem from when you separated from Mom?

I wrote it when I met your mother.

It's about two people who are separating.

No. It's about two people who finally meet.

And what about “casting off”?

giving something up.

But it also says, “I can only be with you or against myself.”

A friend told me about a house for rent in El Escorial.

It's not expensive. It would be nice.

A bit far, isn't it?

Two buses and you're there. Or the commuter train.

Dad, there's no rush. Stay as long as you want.

Yes, but...

Or come with me.

The fresh air would do you good. And a new environment.

To El Escorial?

Yes. Your mother lives in the country, you've never complained.

Hello.

I wanted to apologize for leaving in a huff.

It wasn't you I was angry with, but rather myself.

Sometimes I fly off the handle

and I have trouble thinking clearly.

I'd like us to meet again when we're a little calmer.

I'm staying until Epiphany.

If it's okay with you, I could come and get my things.

Sorry I didn't come sooner.

If you agree,

I could bring Pablo along so you can meet him.

It was really nice to see you. Hugs.

Óscar! Aren't you coming in?
