INVESTOR MEETING
PARTNERS DINNER

Welcome to the latest episode of our show.

Today we have the pleasure of speaking

to the subject of our cover story.

The new star in architecture,

Salvador Campodónico.

-What a treat.
-Thanks for having me.

You're no rising star.

You've now become
a fixture in Spanish architecture.

You remodeled 24 hotels

in just six months.

How is that possible?

Little sleep and lots of planning.

Tell us about your day-to-day.

I get up at 5:00 a.m.
every day to work out.

By six, I'm out the door.
I like sticking to a schedule.

You could say I'm a bit rigid.

Tomorrow, we have to leave
at 5:55 instead of at 6:00.

Could that be why you're still single?

Yeah, you know how I am.

I've yet to meet a woman
that can put up with my work schedule.

Your remodeling work is award winning.

You're the heir
to a multimillion-euro company

that just keeps growing.

And rumor has it

that you'll be in charge
of building a new Campodónico hotel,

the first one outside of Spain,

and it'll be a seven-star hotel.

Are the rumors true?

I can't deny that I'd love to build it,
but it's not up to me.

Yet I can assure you that if I build it,
it'll be the next Wonder of the World.

Are you out to rule the world?

Not even the sky's the limit.

Please give him a hand.

CAMPODÓNICO HOTELS

Thanks for trusting me, Dad.

Trust isn't free. Don't let me down, okay?

YOU'RE FLYING SOON

EVERYTHING'S READY FOR YOUR TRIP
CHECK YOUR ITINERARY

NETFLIX PRESENTS

CUZCO, PERU
3339 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL

"The keys are behind the chalkboard."

Look, Dad. This is the view
from the photos they sent us.

But, obviously, in person it's far better.

This is the perfect place for our wonder.

That's Cuzco's Plaza de Armas.

And the hotel would fill this whole space.

I hope you like it.

Thank you all for coming.

I'm positive that today marks
a turning point in all our lives.

And, above all, in Cuzco's tourism.

To success for all.

-Cheers!
-Cheers.

No!

TUPANANCHISKAMA HOSTEL

I'm searching for you

Because my lips long for your flaming kiss

I'm calling for you

I'm begging you with heavy words

I need you

Because if I can't see you
My life is meaningless

So I wander

Around the world

Looking for the path

To your heart

Take pity on me

If you have a heart

Listen to the beating

The voice of my pain

But come back

To fill the void you left behind

Come back

Even if it's just to say goodbye

Don't let me die

Without saying goodbye

And now it's time to party!

Come on!

Shake that thing!

That's right!

Are you my Tinder date?

-Excuse me?
-My Tinder date.

No, I don't have Tinder. I just got here.

-Do you know the blonde who sang earlier?
-She's like a daughter to me.

What's this for?

The legend says if a woman likes
a man, she lets him light the cone.

-The cone?
-The paper.

-Light it!
-The paper. Gimme that a second.

Here, this is better.

But watch yourself.
Okay, matador? She's my niece.

Give me that.

Get over there.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

Go on. Shake that thing.

Oh yeah?

But you'll get burned.

You can't even light it!

Bravo!

Babes!

No, I'm gonna miss you!

You didn't stay long enough.

We have to come all this way to see you?
No, now it's your turn.

Be careful with what you wish for.
It could happen, sis.

Friends!

I hope you're as generous

with the hat
as you've been with your applause.

Music fills the soul,
but not our stomachs.

So please fill the hat. Got it?

Ariana, get the paint.

Tonight we're painting

by moonlight.

Hey!

Come on!

Fill the hat! Don't speak to me
in a different language, asshole.

I'm sorry. I…

Sorry, I didn't see you there.

I'm sorry!

Yeah, well, know how much this coat cost?

Really?

I bet you overpaid.

No, it was worth the price.
It's my lucky coat.

Doesn't look like it worked for us.

Sorry, I didn't see you.

Do you need something?

No. Well, yes.

I wanted to say
how great you sang, danced.

-I loved the flamenco cajón.
-Right, the "flamenco" cajón.

The cajón is a Peruvian instrument.

The thing is
your fellow countrymen came here,

saw it, and took it.

Along with other stuff.

But it was born here. In Ica, actually.

You learn something new every day.

Do you work here?

For now.

You're not staying here, are you?

I don't remember preparing
the presidential suite for you.

No, I'm in the house next door.

-I'm Salvador--
-Campodónico.

That's why you looked familiar.

Here I was thinking
he was my date, but no.

He was my Airbnb guest.

So that's you!

Yup, that's me.

Lichi Campos. I run this place.

Owner and master of the land
you're standing on and soiling.

Is everything to your liking,
the house, the key?

Yeah, I found the key,
but it broke inside the lock.

I'll replace it in the morning,
but I need a bed to sleep in tonight.

I'd offer you mine,
but my springs are kind of worn.

It couldn't handle you.

So…

Can you take care of it?
Treat him like a true prince.

He paid a ton of money up front.

I'll leave you to it.
My Tinder date's here.

-Pleasure to meet you.
-It really was.

-Ciao.
-Ciao, Auntie.

Well, I can take your jacket
to the laundromat tomorrow.

Maybe they can salvage it.

Don't worry about it.
I have more jackets, coats.

But I do need a bed.

Private or shared room?

That depends on who I have to share with.

That's Quechua, right?

Can you speak it?

Not as well as I'd like.
My friends are teaching me.

What've you learned?

For example, there's no word
for "goodbye" in Quechua.

How do they say bye, then? They don't?

They use an expression.

Tupanachiskama.

It means something like
"until we meet again."

I'm learning.

Tupanachiskama. I like how it sounds.

Yeah.

Not much…

of a dancer, are you?

I'm decent enough,
but you made me look like a fool earlier.

Isn't being a fool fun?

You saw me.
I act like a fool all the time.

Plus, you look a little tense.

You need to chill.

Don't forget, there'll be someone
at the front desk starting at 6:00 a.m.

-Thanks.
-I'll be there if you need anything.

Okay? Sleep well.

What time do you get off work?

That depends.

I mean, I make my own schedule.

Why?

Maybe you'd like to get a drink?

I don't like handsome guys.

What a coincidence. Me neither.

You sure? Not even a little?

That depends on how much I drink.

Well, let's see.

Do you like pisco?

No way. I don't want to mix.
I had beer earlier.

What? How old are you?

Besides, you're in Cuzco, man!

Try something new!

Fine. My first time will be with you.

Oh really?

I thought you'd have
a bit more experience.

So we have a welcome ritual
at the hostel. The willkommen shot.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-Three shots of pisco.
-Okay.

-Ready?
-Yeah.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-Altitude sickness?
-Altit… No. I feel great.

I run 15 kilometers every day.

Okay.

-Number two, then?
-Number two.

Absolutely.

This is for you.

Altitude sickness is no joke.

Watch out.

Did you come alone?

Alone in my solitude.

Single or a cheater?

Single and ready to mingle.

What about you?

Single and only looking to mingle.

What about you?

Me too.

So tell me, backpacker.

Any hidden talents, apart from singing,

dancing,

playing the Peruvian cajón…

and face painting?

A few more.

Wasn't it three?

Yes.

Are you sure?

When in Cuzco, beautiful.
Try something new.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I don't kiss on the first date.

Right, but this never was a date.

Back to business news. The share price
of Campodónico Corp. is still rising

after the company announced it would build
it's first seven-star hotel in Cuzco.

There are high expectations
for the powerful corporation's project,

especially because the architect is…

-Thanks, Lau.
-Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning!

Good morning!

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Well, good morning.

-I haven't slept that late in years.
-You're welcome.

Know of a good hardware store?

Loose screw?

A couple.

Okay, you two. Settle down.

Settle down. We all heard
everything last night.

-I heard you too.
-You did?

Yeah.

Ladies don't kiss and tell.

Of course not.

Excuse me.

I hope gentlemen don't either.

I don't follow. What's your name?

And yours?

Last call! Speak now or forever hold
your peace! Hurry, I'm leaving!

-Here!
-Hurry up.

Thanks, Ariana! We'll pay you later.
-Thanks!

Nice and ironed, please!

Give me a discount!

Is this normal?

Thanks for the good vibes, babe.

Hey, so…

I want my underwear back, the pretty ones.

The laundromat's
next to the hardware store.

So can I go with you?

If you want.

How long will you be here?

At least a year. Two, max.

Wow! Sabbatical?

Not at all.

I'm here to build a hotel.

Check it out.

This is the project.

An architectural wonder
facing a world wonder. Well?

You did this one too?

Yeah, it was a renovation in 2017,
but the corporation ended up rejecting it.

I can see why.

Excuse me?

Well, it's just that…

So you wanted to build
this concrete monstrosity

on this pretty beach?

Heard of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai?

Of course.

The hotel that was built

on a fake, man-made island.

Exactly.

You're not amazed
by what an architect can do?

Absolutely.

Unbelievable.

Tell me… You wanna build
something like that in Cuzco?

Know how much tourism it'd generate?
Only one seven-star hotel exists today.

And only one Machu Picchu.

And you can't remodel it.

Don't you think
we have enough hotels in Cuzco?

Sure, but they're nothing like ours.

Wait, so you're
the Francisco Pizarro of this century?

You came to conquer us again.

What? No.

Hold on. Did I say something wrong?

Did what I said upset you?
I thought we liked each other.

I like everybody
until they give me a reason not to.

One last question.

Are you interested in this house
and land 'cause you want to build here?

The land's perfect.
It has the best views in the city.

The hostel's not for sale.

Who made you owner?
Aren't you here temporarily?

My aunt owns it, and I'm telling you
she's not selling and won't consider it.

Look… Everything in this life has a price.

No.

People don't have a price.

Not the ones close to me.

I hope I've made it clear
last night was a one-time thing.

Crystal clear.

-Cash or card?
-Thanks, Lichi.

-I'll use the QR code.
-Okay.

Tell me about
your divine revelation in three, two…

-Nothing to tell.
-Were you the Shakira to his Piqué?

Not funny, Lichi. Seriously.

Babe! Why the long face?

I saw you leave at 3:00 a.m.,

and I've been going crazy here since then,
waiting for you to tell me. Spill.

I slept with the enemy.

He's a freak?

I said I'm not in the mood!

What do I care?
I want details. Come on, tell me.

Oh no.

Don't tell me he wanted you
to do something awful. I'll kill him.

He made me realize I'm an idiot.

Big surprise, right?

Cut it out, Auntie! Come on, please!

All right. Can you tell me
who in their right mind would prefer

polished concrete over this?

Brick, adobe, stone, wood.

This is Cuzco, not Dubai!

Cuzco has the richest tradition,

mythology, and cultural heritage in Peru.

And it's disappearing 'cause people want
to sleep with air conditioning.

You lost me at "polished concrete."

What bug bit you?

Focus, damn it!

That bug! That Spanish bug!

No offense to insects, so important.

But that Spanish insect, he…

Who does he think he is?
Even though he is gorgeous,

if I'd known he came
to bury us in concrete,

you really think I would've…
I would've told him to go…

Auntie.

Yeah?

He wants to buy
the hostel, but you don't care.

-What?
-I'm telling you…

Auntie, do you know how important
this place is to me? To our family?

-Auntie!
-Hey!

The Spaniard really got to you, huh?

Not you.

I'll bring your juice right over.

My goodness.

Correct. Three to four million tourists
per year. I crunched the numbers.

I'll send you the files
for reference. Thanks.

DAD PRIVATE NUMBER

CUZCO SUPPLIER

Hello?

Yes, 420 Purgatorio Street.

Yeah, I'm here.

So this area is
your ex-husband's property.

And here's the hostel's land
that remains untouched, right?

Yes.

What now?

The prince can't take cold showers?

Hey, that water heater
could even supply the hostel.

May I ask about the plans?

Yes, you may.

What are they for?

-What are what for?
-The plans.

What's wrong?

Why are you such a pain?

This is the price
for getting sticky but not being picky.

Pardon my language,
but good sex has consequences.

-What are they for?
-What?

The plans.

Tell her, Salvita.

We're assessing
the property for construction.

You're selling?

If it were mine, I'd give it to him.

Wow, I am astonished.

That's great!

You two look great together. Charming!

See? We're a charming coup…

Unbelievable.

-Anyway…
-So who owns this part not in the plans?

How about this run?

-Gracing us with your presence!
-What? Can't I take siestas?

Siesta? You've been in bed all day.
Last time I saw you was yesterday.

Are you still mad?

You know that siestas
aren't common in Spain anymore?

Siestas are very important.

You'd know if you weren't
some robot that only knows how to work…

-She always like this?
-Sometimes, worse.

I feel like I'm on vacation,
taking advantage of remote work.

You poor thing.

You poor rich kid… I can't stand him.
I'd rather eat alone in my room.

Well, since we've been interrupted--

-You switched them!
-No!

-You're cheating.
-Why would I do that?

-I saw you.
-Search me. I'll close my eyes.

I will!

Let's play Liar's Dice.

-What?
-Dice, Cornhole.

-You'll crush me.
-You don't know either game?

-No.
-You Spaniards…

Check this out.

What?

Take it to the boss.

Excuse me. We found this.

-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

They found this. I think it's yours.

I completely forgot about this.

I thought it was right for you to have it.

Thanks for digging up my memories.

Please close the door on your way out.

Come on!

Why are you the last thing I see at night
and the first thing when I get up?

-Many girls would say you hit the jackpot.
-Or tell me to cash out.

There was nobody at the front desk.

Someone will be there,
starting at 6:00 a.m.

It's 6:13. Wanna borrow my watch?

I wanted some info on the tours.

They're not for you.

-They aren't?
-No.

Why not? How do you know?

Because they are
for people who can handle cold water.

Is bathing required on the tour?

I was thinking Machu Picchu.
It's a must-see, right?

Duh, you need
the obligatory pic for Instagram.

Exactly.

And the Salcantay tour?

Salcantay is a five-day trip
that people do instead of the Inca Trail.

It'd be very tough for you.
One of my favorites.

And who's the guide?

Who do you think?

Say no more. Where do I sign up?

-Need help?
-No.

- This, yes. Here. This too.
-What do I do with this?

Put it in here. We'll carry it here.

-That too.
-Why all the shirts?

Well, I…

What's this?

That is important. It's for my beard.

No. Forget it.

-Done.
-No, I'll close it.

Hi, guys!

Let's see. Janice León
and Fernando Espósito?

Nandito… Call me "Nandito."

-I hate "Fernando."
-Sure… Weren't there six of you?

Yes… The thing is not all of us can come

because we're not feeling so great.

Yesterday, I saw
the ugliest penis I've ever seen.

Yeah, but, guys,
you can't cancel on me last minute.

I know. Let me explain.

The thing is…

This is what happened… I have to tell her.

Well, I…

I'll tell you.

For example, yesterday…

Sorry.

Something we ate yesterday
didn't agree with us.

Thanks for helping.

The next tour is in a month
because there's a five-person minimum.

-To at least cover expenses.
-But I blocked off these days.

I canceled the meeting
with my father and the Board.

You can't have everything in life.

Who says?

I'll pay for everyone.

For six people?

Seven, including me.

-Sure, since Daddy's paying…
-Is that my new nickname?

I like how people use the diminutive here.

You say "pretty please"
instead of "please." Adorable.

Jesus. I thought
the vomit would've scared you off.

No, I'm not that easy to shake.

You seemed pretty easy to me.

Seven soles?

I could use this to draft
the hotel I'm building on your land.

This rids you of any bad vibes.

Give me a whole pallet.
I'll take a truckload.

Yeah, she could use that.
Keep going. She's full of bad energy.

On his back. Spin around.

That! That's goldenberry, over there.

Thank you.

-Doesn't it smell good?
-It's great for diabetes.

Since we'll be together for five days,
can I ask you a question?

Does this one count?

Why do you hate that I'm building
a hotel? Tourism keeps this city alive.

-It's good for--
-No.

Tourism doesn't keep it alive.
Culture and traditions keep it alive.

Tourism's a consequence of that.

Don't you think it's consequential
that you live in a hotel?

I think I have every right to be opposed
to some daddy's boy coming here

and tearing down my family's house
to build some concrete monstrosity.

I think it's pretty clear
why I really don't like you.

Your aunt lives
in the hostel, her ex's house.

She's happy in the hostel.
Plus, she'd get a ton of money.

Okay. So you want me to thank you?

You want thanks 'cause in two years
I'll wake up next to a building?

Instead of a mountain view?

You don't even live there.
Why do you care?

It's about principle.

Plus, have you asked people
if they want a seven-star hotel?

Who wants a seven-star hotel?

Tell me!

I'll tell you, okay?

But the fact that we have
different opinions or ideas

doesn't justify your tone.

Okay.

Perhaps I could be a bit more mature.

Look, how about we agree
to disagree and try to have a good time?

Since we are in front
of this marvelous church,

I say we make
a concerted effort to make amends.

I don't believe in religions.

Okay. Then what does
Ms. Backpacker believe in?

My mom believed in the Virgin.

What about you?

I believe in my mom.

Uber's here.

-Uberto!
-Ariana!

What's up?

Arianacha!

-I missed you.
-Sweetie, how are you?

-How are you?
-Fine.

-Are you?
-Yup.

-Salvador Campodónico.
-Nice to meet you. Where to?

-Straight to Salcantay.
-The wild mountain?

-You bet.
-White boy's gonna suffer.

He deserves it.

-Do you have coca leaves?
-Yes.

Ask permission from the apu,
the mountain spirit.

Of course.

Weren't we going to walk?

Yeah, but not from here.

You have no idea
where you're going, do you?

Well, for some strange reason
I trust you, Arianacha.

Watch yourself.

-How old's this car?
-It's from '79.

From '79, and it's taking us how far?

-Okay.
-It's that way.

-What?
-No…

May I ask why "enema" is tattooed
on your neck? Isn't that kinda weird?

It says, "Elena," not "enema."

A Colombian tattoo artist did it.

He only inks people
whose stories make him cry.

I told him mine,

and he tattooed my grandmother's name

because she was the only one
who told me to study art.

She said it was the one thing
machines couldn't do better.

The thing about machines made him cry?

No, I didn't tell him that story.

You gonna tell me?

No, I'm not.

I don't like sympathy.

Okay… Will you take a picture of me, then?

Look, it's easy.

Landscape, please.

Open your arms again.

-Like this?
-Yeah.

Am I receiving energy?

-Explorer pose.
-You're a super-explorer!

-You are.
-Like this.

This pic is gonna have
so many likes on your Instagram.

Take another one,

where it looks
like I'm thinking, you know?

Okay.

Looking at the void,
pondering it all. We're part of this.

Looks nice, right?
Do you want a pic… with "enema"?

What?

Afraid of getting burned?

No.

I love fire.

It's my favorite element,
even though I'm a Libra.

Why "even though"?

Libra is an air sign.

So it'd make more sense
for me to like air or wind.

Wind and fire is a dangerous combination.

I give fair warning.

How many stars would you give this hotel?

I've never heard this much silence before.

Silence is beautiful.

Are we there yet?

Could you stop being Donkey from Shrek?

You've asked ten times now!

Jesus!

You're sure we're not lost?

My watch says we've already gone 32 km.

Yesterday, you said it'd be about 16.
That plus the 16 from yesterday… 32.

What's going on?

I don't like math.

That's odd, since you like music.

How's that?

Math makes sure
music lasts more than just an instant.

Math is to music
what pulsars are to twinkling stars.

How about that!

Numbers have always been in my head.

As a kid, I loved music, then math.

Then studied architecture and got into
investing, banks, bonds, interest rates.

You were on the right track, really.

Okay, I was.

-But are we, right now?
-Come on!

Ariana!

Try to clear your mind
and focus on your breath.

I don't know how to clear my mind.

I've never meditated.
I can't not think. In fact, I'm thinking…

I don't mean to be a pain,
but we should keep going

because this says it's gonna rain here.

Can you try?

Yeah?

-Fine.
-Come on.

Sit like this.

Back straight.

Okay, focus on your breath.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Again, inhale.

Exhale.

Don't think at all.

Feel the sound of the water.

Feel the wind on your face.

-I slept during the day!
-I know.

I never do that.

See?

It's good to try new things.

I'm so used to constantly thinking.

I never thought
I'd be able to stop thinking.

But be aware
of everything at the same time.

But let's go. It'll get dark soon. We know
His Excellency doesn't like being late.

It's time to go further.

"It's time to go further."

-Let's go.
-Yeah.

There's usually no time
for me to stop thinking.

You live to make money.

I live to make time for myself.

That's how I'm rich.

ABRA SALKANTAY
ALT. 4600 METERS

Four thousand six hundred meters.

We did it, man!

Want me to take one?

No, get in here!

-Yeah?
-Yeah, together.

We have to immortalize this.

Want me to take one?

Sure! Can you please take one?

Of course.

Ready, on three.

One, two, three.

One more. One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Are you two a couple?

Yeah, we're on our honeymoon.

Handsome couple.

Thank you. So are you.

Thanks. See you later!

Have a great trip! Thanks!

Thank you!

You're full of surprises.

See, you're not the only mysterious one,
just the only judgmental one.

The altitude makes you funny, doesn't it?

What did they say?

They congratulated us on our marriage,
said we're a lovely couple.

Don't lie.

You're lying.

No, really. I said we're on our honeymoon.

Honeymoon?

Ice moon, more like it.

Why do people congratulate you
when you say you got married?

Why do people still get married?

Maybe they're in love?

Falling in love is flawed.

It's like a possessive attachment.

Like when people put
a padlock on a bridge.

Is there an uglier metaphor for love

than a rusty lock on an old bridge?

What turned you to stone, Ms. Backpacker?

I'm not made of stone.

No, I just don't believe in love.

Definitely not in marriage.

I'd rather get tattoos.
Hurts less, lasts longer.

-What? Come on. Another one.
-Let's see… Cumbia or reggae?

-Cumbia.
-Very good!

Cumbia.

Ever listened to cumbia?

I don't believe it.

No, I don't believe it. There's service!

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

DAD PRIVATE NUMBER

What are you doing?

ASSISTANT

Hey, unplug yourself.

Wait a second.

MANAGEMENT TEAM

Give me that.

-No. Wait.
-Give it!

-Hold on.
-You don't have to answer.

I'm so sorry.

Really, it was an accident.

I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry.

You could see it as
an opportunity to beat your addiction.

My addiction?

Ariana, I haven't had
service for five days.

This is my job.

Yeah, but you're not working right now.

Take some time for yourself.

I'm always working.

My father wants me connected.

He says I need to be on top of emails,
if the company calls me,

or whatever else.

But you don't need
to be connected right now.

Connect with yourself.
That's what you need.

Who are you connected to
apart from yourself? Tell me.

It's easy for you to say.

You go through life,
no suitcases, responsibilities, plans,

attachments. Who are you connected to?

You need your phone that bad?

It's not about the phone!

You constantly criticize,
but what do you build?

Your thing, your legacy? Tell me.

You get bored, grab your bag,
and go… Life's so easy like that.

You wouldn't last a week.

Salva.

You can't just keep your mouth shut.
You can't just shut up. Goddamn it.

Salva.

Still annoyed?

See? We're not so different.

I've decided to take a slight detour.

Maybe this will help cheer you up a bit.

Wanna come with?

Feeling better?

Like the surprise?

Never would've thought
there'd be hot springs here.

I hadn't noticed
the scar under your tattoo.

I like what scars signify.

You were in pain but got better.

What happened?

An accident.

-Know where you're going after Cuzco?
-No.

-No?
-No.

How do you live,
not knowing where you're headed?

That's my favorite part about traveling.

You're not scared going alone?

-Would you ask a man the same thing?
-Yes.

It would freak me out.
Well, maybe not exactly…

But I wouldn't like all the uncertainty.

That's what I like.

Without a destination,
you're never late… Never lost.

You're always where you need to be.

The journey's what's important.

Like now, for example.

We could've taken
the train to Machu Picchu,

drinking tea, sitting under the heat.

But we would've missed out on this.

I wouldn't change a thing.

We said no.

No.

I think we're exactly where we need to be.

But you know I'm leaving.

No getting caught up in stuff.

I don't see
any red thread to get caught in.

Oh God. I don't want a relationship

or anything like one.

We have fun together.

We vibe.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

You like playing with fire too, don't you?

I promise I won't get burned.

I'm not asking where you'll settle down
in a few years, just the next stop.

Your next destination.
Where do you really wanna go?

I really wanna go to Puno.

Never been, but I'd love to go.

But I'd also like to live by the beach.

There are incredible beaches up north.

Isn't the ocean great?

It cures everything.

Well.

Final stretch.

Ready to meet the Peruvian wonder?

I thought I had already met her.

Peru has officially conquered my heart.

That's poetic justice.

Or karma, if you have
a negative outlook on life.

What?

Was that affection?

Don't start with me.

I'll need to be careful, Ariana María.

I won't get caught up in this.

You're such an idiot.
I'd never be with someone like you.

We said you weren't gonna fall for me.

I know it's hard, but you promised.

Oh yeah?

Back to reality.

What's wrong with you?

Come on! Drive carefully, please!

Are you okay?

Yeah…

Sir, could you please slow down a bit?

Please sit down, ma'am!
Put on your seat belt.

What seat belt?

-Are you hurt?
-No, young man. Thank you.

Oh my God! We're gonna die.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah.

The highway makes me kinda anxious.

But I'm fine.

You're too close!

What's your problem?
You blind? Who drives like that?

Everyone okay?
We're gonna wait until the hail stops.

Good morning!

What's wrong? You two fight again?

Oh come on.

This girl's got some screws loose,
gets crazier every day.

Why don't you get married already?

That's not it, Lichi…

She's not feeling well.

Something happen to Ari?

No.

Well…

I don't know.

We were on our way back,
and it just started raining.

The bus driver lost control,

and we almost slid off the road.

We all got out,

and she wouldn't get back on the bus.

Does that have to do
with Elena's accident?

My mom didn't die
in an accident. She died of old age.

In her sleep.

But she told me about an accident.

Yes, that's how my sister died.

Her mom.

And her dad.

Only she survived.

She was 13.

Thanks for being there for her.

-Really.
-Of course, Lichi.

Really, thank you.

CAMPODÓNICO BOARD

DAD PRIVATE NUMBER

MANAGEMENT TEAM

EGOCENTRIC HOTEL CHAIN…

Why'd you budget for
200 rooms, when we said 300?

I had to eliminate three floors.

We can't build them all.

Buy more land,
expand sideways. Make it happen.

The neighbors won't sell.

It's only 100 fewer rooms, Dad.

One hundred rooms at €400 per night.

That's €1,200,000 per month.

The altitude ruin your math skills,
or should it come outta your inheritance?

Call me after the meeting
I set up with the guy from city hall.

Show me you can make it in the big leagues

since you begged me for the chance.

Don't keep your phone off that long again.
I need you connected.

-Mr. Campodónico?
-Yes.

-Do you represent city hall?
-Toño.

-Friends call me "Toño."
-Pleasure.

So, just to be clear,
I'm not here in any official capacity.

-You're not?
-No.

Your father told me

you need a construction permit
for building more than four floors.

Yes, that's right.

This is the project.

Our application was rejected twice.

What can we do?

Luckily, I am in a position of authority
from which I can help you.

Plus, I love Spanish soccer.

That's great.

Fantastic…

So, please, tell me what we need to do.

Look, Salvador. It's not about "what."

It's "how much."

Understand?

I do.

Miss, an americano, please?

Thank you.

So… shall we talk business?

All right…

Come here.

What's wrong? You've been here all day.

I wanted to be alone.

Time can't erase all scars.

You can fake it, but they're still there.

Some muña tea?

-Sure.
-Yeah?

Okay, but do you want it now

or a little bit later?

A little bit later.

So I'll stay.

It's all right.

You get that, right?

Do you? How about a name,
so we can communicate?

Are you even listening?

Want a name? Margarita, María?

She crashed my board meeting.

Really? When did we get a boardroom?

When we got the water heater.

Do they have names?

Yeah.

This is Porky,
and that's Rosita. They're an item.

It's like they're part of the family.

-Did he call me fat?
-No!

-No, that's not what I meant by "family."
-Oh okay.

What's up?

Are you all right?

Lots of stress from remote work?

You're teasing me, but yes.
There are always important decisions.

It's tough to choose
between tile and stone…

Come on. You know I'm joking.

Are you, or is this your way of
making sure no one gets too close to you?

Don't… Right there.

If you want to call it "joking,"
I'll allow the euphemism.

Wow!

He got you good.

He got you good, backpacker.

One point for Spain.

Goal.

-Thanks, Lichi.
-Papi.

If you want,
I can give you a massage tomorrow.

No, today.

I have Uberto's party today.

Right, he invited me.

-No, he didn't.
-No.

But, if you want company,
I'd be happy to go with you.

I'll come by at 4:00?

Is this a date?

See you then. Be on time.

-Okay.
-Okay.

When I was 15,
we planted all this with Uberto.

It's incredible.

How do you find these places?

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Arianacha!

Uber!

-Uberto!
-Arianacha!

Sweetheart!

Hi.

How are you?

-Salvador?
-Yes.

You've met, right?

-The hike.
-Uber, Salva.

This is Urpi, basically my little sister.

Nice to meet you.

-I brought muña for the huatia.
-Thanks, sweetie.

Let's get started on the huatia.

-What's that?
-A meal that we cook in the ground.

All this goes in the oven.

-All at once?
-We put everything in at the same time.

Did you know we have
3,000 types of spuds in Peru?

-Three thousand types of potatoes?
-Yes.

-You call them "potatoes" in Spain?
-Yes, we do.

-Put that over there.
-Right here?

Hey, how are you?

-Hi, Donato.
-Hey, Donato!

-How are you? We're gonna get started.
-Sounds good.

Clean that a bit.

-Whatever you want, okay?
-Okay, let's go.

-You can use your left or your right.
-Okay.

That works better.

Yes, it's sweet. Try it.

Isn't it? Right?

That one, please.

That tastes so good.

Want a spud?

-Stuffed pepper.
-"Stuffed pepper"? Do I grab one?

Up.

-Down.
-Down!

Now I'm a local.

You're basically almost family now.

You hear that?

-Basically…
-Basically almost family now.

'Cause I think…

I think I danced well.

I was watching Uberto's friend--

You were fantastic. Excellent.

Are you proud of me?

You learn quick.

I try.

But I'm gonna go to bed now.

-What?
-What?

I said I don't kiss on the first date.

You're right.

Sometimes I forget.

Selective memory… Forgive me.

Okay, I forgive you.

See you tomorrow.

Sleep well.

You too.

Thanks for all this.

SEND ME THE SIGNED CONTRACT!

STILL NEGOTIATING. IT ISN'T SIGNED YET.

YOU'VE BEEN AT THIS FOR MONTHS

IF I DON'T GET IT BY TOMORROW MORNING,
SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR "WONDER PROJECT."

The Scream by Edvard Munch?

Yes, but this is my personal take on it.
The original is too dramatic and sad.

I prefer comedy.

Did you know the inspiration for the piece
was a mummy from the Paracas culture?

I had no idea.

Near Lima, right?

Yes, in Ica. Three hours from Lima.

The Paracas culture was
before the Nazca culture.

They did the Nazca Lines.

-I know.
-Yeah.

I'd love to see them.

You'll get there someday.

What?

What do you want to say?

I'm a witch.

I don't dress like one
because we've gotten a bad rap.

But I'm witching you now,
and you want to say something, right?

Look…

I won't sell the hostel.

Lichi, it's just 400 meters.

It's half, not even half, of this garden.

Ever noticed how no one says
how great aging is?

It's lovely.

I want to die here.

And I want to rise from my ashes,

reborn as a tree
in the Valle Sagrado valley.

Can you think of anything better?

With this, you could buy
as much of the valley as you want

and be reborn as a forest.

I see why Ariana's been cautious with you.

I hope she had good intentions.

I don't want a civilized love

No receipts or time on the couch

I don't want you to travel back in time

And come back
From the market, wanting to cry

I don't want Sunday afternoon

I don't want a swing in the garden

What I want

You cowardly heart…

What do you want?

Is that you'd risk your life for me

And I'd die with you
If you killed yourself

And I'd kill myself if you died

Because when love doesn't die, it kills

Because loves that kill never die

And I'd die with you
If you killed yourself

And I'd kill myself if you died

Because when love doesn't die, it kills

Because loves that kill never die

How's it going, Auntie?

Well?

Please be careful with the little roots.

Come on, Auntie!

-How could you eat my cousin Porky?
-Bacon once a year won't kill you.

The paintbrushes Salvador bought?

In my workshop.

You're selling it?

No. Don't know. Don't think so.

You don't know?

I also said, "don't think so."
Did you hear that part?

"Don't know, don't think so."

You're considering it.

Ariana!

I've never seen that much money before.

Okay.

So it turns out
everything does have a price.

Look, I'm not selling the hostel,
just part of the garden.

We'll take the money
and buy land in the valley.

We'll have animals

and a bigger vegetable garden and…

I think it's time
for me to say goodbye, Auntie.

-Ari…
-I've been here over eight months.

I didn't plan on staying this long.

Why are you going?

I don't want to watch
my memories get buried.

They'll be with you wherever you go.

-You're running away…
-I'm not running! Who's running?

You're always saying goodbye.

Your life is one long goodbye.
You leave people behind.

What if you're losing something good?

You traveled around for 20 years
before you settled here.

What did you lose?

Don't be afraid of putting down roots.

Only good things will grow from you.

I don't like what's gonna grow here.

-Ariana!
-I'm not talking to you.

-Wait.
-I don't want to see you. Go away.

-Hold on.
-I'm not talking to you!

-What's wrong? Stop, what is it?
-"What's wrong?"

I don't like manipulative liars.
That's what.

Fuck off!

-Where are you going?
-Go away!

Ariana! Please, wait!

Ariana!

What's going on, Salvador?

-Who's that nut?
-Why are you here?

Nice to see you too, son.

Seriously. Why?

Why? I'm here to fix
what you clearly can't.

I said I'd handle it, okay?

I'm doing you a favor.

Some of our partners… Focus!

They want to invest in the project
in Egypt because labor is cheaper.

If we don't fix this now,
I'll lose my investment,

and you'll have a marvelous reputation.

Does that get you fired up or what?

Let's go!

Come on.

Go on, bring me up to speed.
What's with this woman?

Toilet paper in Spain costs
as much as this house. Offer more.

It's not about money.
Money isn't everything.

-Excuse me.
-Lichi.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

Ma'am, let me introduce myself.

I am Alberto Campodónico.

I'd like to talk to you.

I won't sell a thing.

We're willing to make
an even better offer.

Dad, now's not the time!

-Where'd she go?
-Didn't say.

We are Spain's largest hotel chain.

Dad, I said no. Okay? Drop it.

In my 35 years in charge
of this corporation,

I've never taken "no" for an answer.

Ma'am, I'm willing
to double my son's offer.

But I need an answer, and I need it now.

Then my answer is no.

It's no. Understand?

I'm sorry, Salvador. I am.

No.

Lichi…

Where are you going?
Whose side are you on?

For the first time ever, not yours, Dad.

You can't treat people like that.

She said no. Learn to respect that, okay?

Who do you think you are?

I'm trying to do what's right.

'Cause of that crazy chick? Come on!
I thought you could keep things separate.

Business is business!

That's not it.

You know we're talking millions here?

You have enough money.

Different business models exist.

The corporation…
won't invest in something smaller.

Then I quit.

That's your solution?

I don't identify with this corporation.

Thanks for the opportunity.

THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL

You really don't know where she went?

Some people can't be tied down.

She mentioned beaches up north or Puno.

-She can't have gotten far.
-She took all her things.

Should I go find her?

Would she want to see me?
You know her better than anyone.

Look, life can surprise you.

But you need to be
willing to be surprised.

What does that mean? Please, Lichi!

You two looked
so happy together, and that's rare.

Some people never experience that.

That's the hardest thing
to come by, more than any job.

-Right?
-Of course.

Well?

If you want my opinion, go with plan C.

-Plan C?
-Plan "see."

-Plan C?
-Plan "see"!

Plan "see." You see?

-What's plan C?
-Plan "see"!

"See if you can catch her."

Oh, okay. Where do I go?

If she's headed north, she'll need to fly.
But plane tickets are expensive.

She's too poor. So Puno.

-Puno!
-She's always wanted to go.

The train station.

-Thank you, Lichi.
-Good luck.

I'll keep you posted!

Are you sure?

Thanks, Javier.

-Good morning, welcome.
-Hi. Is the train for Puno gone?

It left ten minutes ago.

-When's the next one?
-In two hours.

-Okay, one ticket, please.
-Okay.

-Here you go.
-Mornin'.

-Welcome aboard.
-Thank you.

CUZCO-PUNO

CUZCO

PUNO, 3827 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL

ANY NEWS ON ARIANA, LICHI?

NOT A WORD

UBERTO, HAVE YOU SEEN ARIANA?

NOT SINCE THE HUATIA

I haven't seen that woman.
I'm an Aymara. Where would she be?

Is that a no?

-We haven't seen her.
-Okay.

Okay, thanks anyway. Thank you.

Have a good one.

Was that fun?

Yeah, it was!

-Great!
-Come on!

Was it awesome?

Of course.

Did you take everything?

Duh.

Hi.

Hi, excuse me.

Have you seen this girl?

Haven't seen her.

Did she get lost?

No, I'm looking for her.

She's pretty.

If I find her, I'll keep her.

You on vacation?

Sort of. But heading back to Spain soon.

And you?

-Paddleboarding.
-We have a YouTube channel.

Extreme sports. We're shooting here,
then heading to the coast.

And following it up to Mexico.

Literally.

Awesome plan. I'd love to do that.

You can.

In fact, there's a spot in the van.
Join us, white boy.

Thanks, but I just bought my flight.

Did you like my country?

I fell in love.

Wouldn't be the first time.

I'm not surprised.

Well, thanks, guys.

Good luck.

-Is it cold?
-Yeah.

-Freezing cold.
-It's great. Go for a swim.

-Thanks.
-Good luck.

THE LITTLE PRINCE

OF LOVE AND SHADOWS

LOCATION DETECTED

Yes!

DEVICE FOUND

LOCATION: PARACAS - ICA, PERU
1064 KM, 6 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL

-Right?
-What?

-Should we record this?
-Let's see.

What's up, white boy?

Still room for one more?

For two!

-For ten!
-Going to the coast?

To Paracas, in Ica.

Near the Nazca Lines,
about three hours from Lima.

We've heard of it. We're from here.

So found your backpacker?

I think she's in Paracas.
The location on her phone turned on…

-Okay, get in!
-Come on!

Get in!

-Drive!
-Hit it!

Roll the camera! Well…

-We kidnapped a Spaniard!
-We found a Spanish boy!

PUNO - PARACAS

THANKS FOR VISITING
THE LAND OF THE LITTLE BULL

It all started
because I wanted to build a hotel here.

-I'm not building it anymore.
-She convinced you!

No, she didn't…

-Yes, she did!
-She convinced you.

-You got trapped in her web.
-You did!

There she is! Inés, please.

Please!

I need you to cover for us
at the front desk.

We found a blue angel.

-Here?
-Here.

-Here.
-Here.

Is that like a seadragon?

No, this species is endemic to Peru.
It's common for it to appear here.

It's only found in five bays.
Now it's here. I'm begging you, please.

I've been the biologist
at this hotel for four years.

I've never asked for time off.
I'm begging you, please.

It's fine. Go.

Perfect.

Why is it so difficult to find them?

They prefer the calm water of the bay,
and it's very hard for them to lay eggs.

The male makes the nest.

He then does a sort of ritual
to get the female to enter the nest.

If she gives up, goes inside,

and lays the eggs,

then she disappears.

So she's crazy.

-That's right.
-We could learn a lot from her.

-Ready to meet Memo, son?
-Yeah!

Let's go meet Memo!

Well, do you like your room?
Are you comfortable?

I love all of it, sister.

I'm so happy to be here with you.

That's great.

Little sea prince…

It basically represents dualism.
It's completely symmetrical.

It's like a bridge.

A set of stairs
symbolically linking two opposites.

The world above
and the one below… Day and night.

Light and dark.

Cool!

The Inca Cross is an ancient symbol.

This foreigner knows
more about my country than I do.

I had awful history teachers.

I used to love
these paciencia cookies as a kid.

How many did you buy?

Ten.

I thought their name was a sign.
We needed patience.

I think we're close.

-It's this way.
-May I?

-You're in luck!
-Almost there!

My hair tie?

-Oh, the band.
-Yeah.

We're two minutes away.

Mariana, here we come!

-Mariana?
-Ariana!

-Ariana.
-Almost there!

-Here.
-Let's see.

-This is it.
-There's the dot!

-No time to waste.
-Thank you so much.

Well? He's going!

Good luck!

Time to unload?

I think you'd like this one.

What are you doing here?

You really thought
you could just leave like that?

I didn't want to talk.

I don't want to talk now either.

Maybe 'cause you're
afraid of what I'm gonna say.

Me, afraid of you?

I left the corporation.

My job.

First, that.
Second, Lichi really misses you

and doesn't understand
why you left either.

Last but not least,
Porky and Rosita just became parents

to three little babies that eat like pigs.

That's great.

It turns out
the seven-star hotel is a no-go.

And, if you wanted to know,

I'm thinking about taking a year off.

I like the idea of living on the beach.

Yeah.

Yeah, doesn't living
by the beach sound nice?

I once heard the ocean cures everything.

Anything with salt does.

Could you imagine a house on this beach?

Made of wood.

With a glass roof

for stargazing.

A garden.

Only materials that are
sustainable, eco-friendly,

recycled.

Weren't you taking a year off?

Ever been kite surfing?

No.

You just let yourself fly.

Let the wind take you.

Wanna fly with me?

Are you sure?

Up for dealing with me?

I don't know.

What about you?

I don't think so.

Well, that's great.
We're made for each other.
