[Nata] The world kept turning and it didn't care what I was feeling.

I decided not to tell anyone anything.

To put on a smile.

After all, I had brought this on myself.

[David] Greta!

Greta!

Where's Alma?

She was literally here two seconds ago and now she's gone.

Fuck.

[shouts] Alma!

Alma!

I don't know. This is weird as hell.

- Well, maybe she's gone to her house. - No.

No way she would do that. No.

She was pretty wasted.

[dial tone]

[voice recording] The number you are trying to reach is...

- [sighs] - [message bleeps]

ALMA. CALL

[Greta] Let's go.

Alma!

{an8}WHERE ARE YOU? HIYA...

{an8}ARE YOU OKAY, ALMA??? ANSWER ME!!!

{an8}Alma!

[ominous music playing]

[sighs]

Greta...

Just call her parents.

She probably went home, anyway.

And if not,

be honest with them.

[sighs]

[Greta] Hello, Vero, um...

[shakily] Is Alma home?

[Vero] No. Why?

[Greta] Right, it's just that yesterday, I lied when you called.

Alma and I went to a party.

- [Vero] Okay, where is she then? - [Greta] Uh, um, I, I don't know.

I've been looking for her here for three hours. And I... I can't find her.

[breathing deeply]

I don't know what to do.

ALMA IS HERE. SHE'S FINE

{an8}VERO: ALMA IS HERE. SHE'S FINE

CAN I TALK TO HER?

[messages pinging]

VERO: SHE'S GROUNDED

CAN I COME SEE HER?

[jubilant music playing on cellphone]

Just a little bit embarrassing for you. [chuckles]

[music and cheering]

- Where did you get this? - [Alberto] It's going around.

Damn, girl. Quite the track record you got.

[Alberto] We heard you got lost afterwards. What happened?

You screw the DJ, the whole band, or what?

[teacher] Good morning!

Everybody take your seat.

You're a bomb-ass fucking friend, huh?

About the same as you guys.

[teacher] Get your books out, please.

[Alberto] Oh, it's your favorite book, right?

- [teacher] Page 47. Come on now. - Kill me, dude, this class sucks.

- [teacher] Quiet! - Seriously.

[Nata] Alma!

Alma!

Open up. I know you're in there.

- You should have told me. - We only had two passes, Nata.

[Nata] I don't give a damn about your fucking party.

I mean, my parents wouldn't have let me go anyway.

Then why are you so upset?

It's because you left me out. The two of you.

But you're worse 'cause we see each other daily and you said nothing.

- I decided at the last moment, okay? - What a shitty excuse.

I'm having a real bad day so drop it already, Nata.

[water running]

[Nata] Tell me something.

What am I to you?

Well, you're my friend.

That word has lost its worth a little this morning.

For sure.

Because I think you use me so you don't feel so alone and shitty in here,

and the minute we leave, you ignore me.

Hm. You're one to talk. Your whole day is devoted to Alberto.

Stop fucking around, Alma.

I found out about the party,

because your mom called asking where you were and I didn't even have to lie to her.

I mean, how sad is that?

Sorry.

It's like I'm always the third wheel in Greta, you and I's friendship.

Fucking sucks, honestly.

[chuckles]

[Nata] What, you wanna get caught smoking in here?

I know you and Greta have known each other for a million years,

but what bothers me is that it's always...

[poignant music plays]

[Alma] I'm sorry.

Really.

You've no idea.

I wish you'd been there.

- [doorbell chimes] - [clattering]

- [woman] Fine choice. - What?

Fine choice.

Yeah. See...

this is all I've got, because I'm budgeting.

Well in that case, these are better.

A product that is 100 percent artificial.

[groans]

Not sure. I've tried them before, and I'm not super fond of those.

But they're kind of perfect if you're living on a budget, huh?

Hm? A flavorful bomb of sugar and saturated fats to your arteries.

'Kay.

You've sold me. I think I'll give them a second chance, then.

I'm also a big fan of giving things a second chance.

Look, another product that's a hundred percent artificial.

[cashier] That'll be six eighty.

I'll see you around.

Ciao.

- [doorbell chimes] - [door opens, closes]

This one. Thanks so much.

[moaning]

Agh!

[scoffs]

[sighs]

- Did you hurt yourself? - [Alma] I'm fine, just a pimple.

Let me see.

I know we're being harsh with the grounding, Alma,

but you left us no other choice.

I already apologized.

What were you expecting? That we wouldn't catch you?

That we wouldn't care you ran away?

Well, I don't know, okay? I didn't think about it.

I just wanted to have fun at the party...

Well, we have to think about the consequences of our actions.

Maybe we'll make a deal.

What type of deal?

- You take a drug test every week. - [scoffs]

If it's negative and you focus on your studies and help out at home,

you can get your phone back and your money,

and we'll allow you to go out on the weekends again.

Got it?

And has Dad accepted these terms?

I don't care if he accepts them.

It's a deal.

We only have these left.

- [both chuckle] - Sure, fine.

[dog barks, pants]

Come, Cooper.

- Go on, run. - [Cooper barking]

[Alma] I found your message.

How are you holdin' up?

[Alma] Well, I'm grounded until I turn 30.

[Greta] You scared the life out of me.

Where the hell were you?

[ominous music plays]

[Greta] Alma?

[Cooper barking]

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah. Um...

I think I might still be hungover, or maybe the Molly's still getting to me.

I don't know.

What happened to you?

I left for one second and... and you were just gone.

Mm, I guess, I... I felt like walking and got lost?

I looked all over the damn place and couldn't find you.

Where'd you go, Alma?

I don't know, just around.

I, um,

hopped on a bus and fell asleep until the last stop.

So then I had to take a different bus home, that's it.

Why didn't you call me?

Ran out of battery.

[pen clicking]

[knocking on door]

Hey.

[Greta] 'Sup?

So, have you spoken to Alma?

Yeah, uh, she's doing fine.

Grounded for eternity, but fine.

Um, did she tell you what happened?

She says she started walking and got lost.

And then she just hopped onto a bus and fell asleep for a while.

- What? - There's just no way I believe that.

I mean, it sounds like total nonsense.

Yeah, but why would she lie to you?

Hmm.

- Don't know. - Meh, don't sweat it.

Okay.

[ominous music plays]

[footsteps approaching]

- [David] From last night. - Oh, thanks, son.

[father] You shouldn't've taken your sister and Alma to that party.

I know, I'm sorry.

[Greta] It wasn't his fault.

It was my idea.

I thought that you were both mature enough

to comprehend the risk this family's taking.

[David] We know, Mom.

[mother] Your sister was meant to stay out of this.

Yeah, uh, thing is, I've never really been out of it.

Not for a single day or moment in the last four years.

Greta,

we don't like the idea of having a pot farm in the cellar, either.

We agreed to it so we wouldn't lose the house.

But there are many nights when it feels like the worst decision we've ever made.

All we want is to protect you.

[gulps] Yeah, yeah. I know.

Just saying, I've been suffering the consequences too.

- [father] Sure. - Yeah.

[father] It's been hard for everyone.

But things may change very, very soon.

I have an interview lined up.

- What? - Yes.

We weren't going to say anything, but, well, I have a hunch this time.

Apparently, they need someone with a profile in sales, like mine.

It's written for me.

And that's what you were looking for, right?

It's what I wanted, and the salary's pretty decent.

[inhales] So...

- Amazing! - [laughs]

[Greta] It's so great. So, so great!

Everything will be normal again.

Hm. Of course it will, Dad.

[Greta chuckles]

[David] Good.

[melancholic music playing]

[Alma] But they can't make you switch schools.

[Greta] My parents can't afford it, Alma.

[Alma] Well, I don't know, I'll go with you.

I mean it. I'm not leaving you alone.

You would do that for me?

And for me.

I refuse to live without you.

[sighs]

They won't allow that, your parents.

- I don't wanna be all alone, Greta. - [Greta] Don't be silly.

I... I swear you won't.

Wherever you go, I'll go too.

And wherever I go, you'll come with me.

No matter what.

I love you.

More than life.

[Pablo] They're not accurate tests.

[Vero] Honestly, I didn't think it'd be a problem.

[Pablo] And you didn't check with me before talking to her.

That's just great.

[Vero] Let's not get into how each one of us handles things.

I don't know what happened.

I already apologized to you.

Yes, Pablo. But it's not me you need to apologize to.

No, you're wrong. It's got nothing to do with ego.

Ah, shit, it terrifies me to think about what could happen

if we don't properly handle it.

Aren't you scared?

You realize locking her in will make her want to break out again.

And then we'll lose her permanently.

She's gonna let us down again.

Well, she could do it a million times if at the end of it she trusts me.

[breathing heavily]

- [bell rings] - [teacher] All right, thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

[Nata] Alma.

Alma! You wanna smoke with me?

Alma.

How are the exam resits going?

- Um, I'm studying. - Good.

You still have time to pass the course.

I know you're perfectly capable of doing it.

- Well, I'm not so sure. - Well, you have a lot to catch up on.

And it won't be easy.

You have to get serious.

I will.

Okay.

[Nata] So, we're going for dinner at this super romantic restaurant.

Like the ones with those giant wine glasses, you know?

Mm-hmm.

And then we're going to a hotel with a hot tub in the suite.

You're not paying attention.

Uh, no, no. I am. Yeah, yeah.

[Nata] Hm?

You said you're going to a hotel, and fuck in the hot tub like rabbits.

You're such a dumbass.

And that's supposed to be... a bear?

Bear?

It was meant to be a bird, but, hey...

[Nata] What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

I don't know why, you've been acting weird since the party.

Look, you can tell me.

I mean, we're friends. I swear I won't tell anyone.

- You've spoken to Greta? - No.

But I'm sure she's also noticed.

- See ya. - [Alma] I threw myself at David.

He turned me down.

[Nata] What an asshole.

[Alma] No, it was my fault.

I don't know what the fuck I was thinking but...

I've never been so embarrassed in my life.

[Nata] Right.

And, then you took off?

Well, after that, I got completely trashed

and then I... went out for a walk.

Later, I couldn't find my way back.

And is that all?

[woman] You have to be very sure.

It's not easy for a woman to report an assault or even talk about it

with the people closest to her.

And to top it all off, my dad hit me and now I...

I'm grounded and can't use my phone until I pass some bullshit exams.

I can't do this.

Come here.

[woman] You have to understand them.

You have to put yourself in their place.

A woman might feel ashamed.

She might be afraid that no one will believe her. Or she'll be blamed.

She might even blame herself.

[Nata] I can give you my notes if you want.

And I can also ask my study group friends about you joining us.

Thanks.

[Nata] That's what friends are for.

Although, I've been smoking a bit more lately.

Well,

I smoke too, every now and then.

Oh.

Well, bad. Trying not to kill myself.

You're not wearing the necklace today, either.

Shit, Berta. You're being really dramatic. I can give it back...

No. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm sorry. It's just... I'm very intense.

This always happens to me.

Uh, you wanna... smoke?

I shouldn't give you what I wanted to.

So what was it?

- A pet tracking device or what? - [both chuckle]

You see? You really are super clever, dude.

You're the best.

Wait, okay. My therapist told me I shouldn't question my decisions.

So...

Here you go.

[Alma chuckles]

From when we both watched Monsters Inc.,

on my birthday.

Jeez, you printed it out and everything.

Not too creepy, right?

Well, I mean, luckily everyone in art school is crazy like me.

Well, my school's the same way.

But they're more like robot-psychopaths.

Yeah, at my school they're more like bipolar, schizos...

- Hmm. - It's too much, uh...

Too passionate about their own thing. Totally my energy.

So, you see a therapist?

[breathes deeply] Mm, yes.

Since, um...

Well, ever since... since the day I lost it.

You remember that, right?

That I went too far with you at some point.

I was a fucking mess.

Sorry.

Well, we all go a bit crazy sometimes, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, but I don't know, for me it...

It was

like I went batshit.

And

the worst part is my parents went even crazier than I did,

with their divorce, and, well, I didn't have anyone to turn to.

Sorry.

I wasn't aware that things had gotten so bad.

[chuckles] It's totally fine.

You know how it goes, what doesn't kill you makes you fatter.

Shit.

RAQUELILLA_AF FOUR NEW MESSAGES

[ominous music plays]

{an8}[door opens]

{an8}DO NOT RAPE, SIR

[suspenseful music playing]

NO MEANS NO

[calm, pensive music plays]

[Greta] To my first and best friend.

Today, I remembered the summer that we spent crying

because I had to switch schools.

[dog barking]

I felt like my arm had been chopped off and I had to learn to live without it.

And I know that sounds very over the top and crazy, but, well, it's true.

The worst part of being separated

was knowing that if something bad happened to you...

[Alma whistles] Come on, Cooper.

[Greta] ...I wouldn't be there with you.

And I'd much rather be the one getting hurt than seeing it happen to you.

That's the truth.

You're like a sister to me,

and even if you don't know it, I'm always watching you out of the corner of one eye

because I need to know that you're okay.

I know that you're a total boss and you don't need anyone to protect you.

Except deep down, everyone needs someone who will support us and listen to us.

Even bosses.

Alma, you are the best person I know and you deserve to be happy always.

But, if you're not,

if something bad has happened to you and you want to tell me,

I'm here.

You're not alone.

But if you don't want to tell me, it doesn't matter,

I'm going to love you just the same.

I guess there are things that are hard to tell,

even to your first and best friend.

I love you more than life.

[sobbing]

Mom.

Uh, can I have my phone?

Are you all right?

Yeah, it's just allergies.

I just wanted to message Greta.
