This episode has content pertaining to suicide (or the concept of suicide)

Viewer discretion is advised.

We should get closer.

What for?

To see him.

Not like that.

He's no longer Memo.

His parents were going to take him to San Diego

at the end of the year.

He didn't say anything.

He got mad at first.

I had never seen him like that.

Then he seemed quiet.

As if he was over it.

I didn't notice.

At least he had you before leaving.

That makes me happy.

He had friends, in the end.

NO ONE WILL MISS US

TUNA CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS

Can you pick up your sister?

I have to get groceries, go the bank, the dry cleaner's...

-I can't do it all. -I'm seeing Paulina.

You see her every day.

Will you help me out?

Come on.

-Okay. -We'll watch a movie tonight.

You pick. If it's Excalibur, even better. Sound good?

I'm meeting Diego tonight.

Okay.

I'm leaving.

Aren't you forgetting something?

Mom!

The longer you take, the worse it'll be.

Hey.

Bye!

We're facing a very delicate situation.

We have to be real careful with what we tell the students.

What if they ask?

-You say nothing. -And?

You say nothing.

Any student who asks, you send straight to

Miss Magda's weekend workshop on suicide prevention,

from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m.

No kid will want to come on Saturday morning.

What about the exams? Will we postpone them?

No. We can't.

We must comply with the official calendar.

Besides, we're very close

to reaching our target.

First place in the district.

How can you be so indifferent?

With all these negative energies...

the best thing for the kids is...

a distraction.

To think of something else.

Focusing on their exams

is what's best for them.

Memo wasn't the same.

Something was bothering him.

I should've made him talk.

At least you noticed something.

I had no clue.

Did it make a difference?

I don't know.

It's good that someone looks after the kids.

When I was in high school

I felt no one understood me.

And I wanted my students to know...

or feel, at least,

that I was there for them.

If you feel bad, call the store to let us know.

I'll come straight away.

Don't worry.

We really love you, son.

I love you too.

HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION

What's wrong?

Nothing. It's stupid. Never mind.

I'm sure it's not something stupid.

It's nothing.

How are you?

With the Memo stuff?

I feel horrible.

I think of him all the time.

I liked him.

You're not like this because of that.

What's wrong?

Diego broke up with me.

-Hey. -Hey.

Look.

Here. I made this for you.

Why?

Because I know you're sad and...

I get hungry when I'm sad.

Thanks.

It might not taste good because I just threw stuff together.

We can talk if you want to.

I know what it's like to lose somebody.

And people who don't know say dumb things.

I don't know if I can talk.

I don't know what to say.

Then... don't say anything.

Just eat the sandwich.

Put everything away, guys. Leave it.

This makes no sense.

I can't act like nothing happened.

I don't know if your other teachers can,

but I can't.

I think we can use this time to...

talk about Memo.

And how important he was to us.

Who wants to begin?

Erick.

I liked him.

He was my friend.

-Benny. -He went to all the parties.

Yes. Memo was wild.

Pau.

Memo was...

a very good person. Intelligent.

-And... -How do you know?

What?

That he was a good person, that he was smart?

Well... I don't know.

But it makes me really sad too.

-This is bullshit. -Alex, sit down, please.

I don't want to hear this.

-We all liked him. -You bullied him, asshole!

None of you really knew Memo!

Not even me.

I didn't know he'd do this.

You won't even remember him in a month or two.

Nobody will miss him.

Your lives will go on.

Even mine.

That's how it is when you die.

The world keeps spinning, and you stay dead.

Alex, out!

Out, now!

-Sit down. -You're not reporting me?

No, I think you need to calm yourself down. Sit down.

Me too, to be honest.

I didn't mean to get mad.

It's okay.

None of this is easy.

But you were wrong.

I will miss Memo.

You will miss him.

We won't forget him that easily.

My dad died too.

A long time ago.

When I was little.

He didn't see me grow. Barely even knew me.

There are things he didn't know about me.

There was no time.

There's never time.

No.

How do you get over that?

You don't.

You get used to it.

Learn to live with the pain.

I think I'm not helping you very much.

You are.

Everyone says the same.

That's how life works.

This too will pass.

You have to move on.

I don't know who told you that,

but it won't.

And it's not about moving on, but about moving forward.

Daniela.

Have you heard?

I broke up with Mariana.

I did it for you.

And for Memo.

Don't bring him into this.

He scolded me.

He told me to be nice to you...

and he was right.

Diego, leave me alone.

Hi.

I would have called weeks ago, but...

Mariana wouldn't give me your number.

That's why I'm here.

I can leave if you want me to.

No.

You just chose the worst day ever.

Why?

Is it okay if I don't tell you?

Okay.

Tell me what you need.

Let's just walk.

Then let's walk. Anything you want.

What's up, Tenoch?

What are you doing here?

We're worried about you.

You must be really sad.

Since when do you care?

If you're here to bully me,

now is really not the time.

Come on. We come in peace.

Really?

We're sad too, even if... Alex thinks we're not.

Yes.

Memo wasn't like... other dudes we've bullied.

No. He was special.

Well, thank you.

And well, before he left, he...

Before he left, Memo told us that... he would help us with the Impossible Exam.

I forgot about that.

And...

No. Of course not.

I'm quitting.

It's okay.

We understand.

We also brought you this.

I think you like this flavor, because...

you had one once, and...

we threw it on you.

Thanks.

-I think you should stop. -Why?

You're distracted, and it's okay.

It'd be weird if you weren't.

I'm fine.

SONGS AGAINST THE DARK SIDE

-We need you. -For what?

We have unfinished business.

You stole the Impossible Exam?

You were moving forward without saying anything?

Shame on you!

No!

Well, yes, but it was going to be the last one.

I'm sorry.

But now we can do it together.

-I don't know, Tenoch. -I know.

No one wants to do it.

Me neither.

But Memo and I had a plan.

We thought of something epic.

Something to be remembered for.

Memo won't find out about anything now.

It's no use to keep going with the business.

We wouldn't have met him without it.

We wouldn't have become friends.

Because we are friends.

Listen.

If Memo stole the exam, the least we can do is to finish the job.

For him.

That won't change things.

We'll still miss him. It will still hurt.

But he would have liked it.

Okay, we need to solve the exam then.

And it's really difficult.

We can do it together.

I don't know if...

Yes. All together.

What are you doing?

-Studying. -Yeah, right.

-Why don't you tell me? -There's nothing to tell.

I know what you do. You're not fooling me.

I don't follow you.

Look, Su, thanks for the pizza, but we're busy.

You have to pay me for it.

Hi, Susy. Hey. Hello.

-Hello. -Hi.

Can I talk to you, Alex?

Coming.

-What's up? -What's up?

I wanted to check in on you, about your friend.

How do you know?

Susy called me.

She also told me that someone broke up with someone.

I don't know them, but it was big.

Are you okay?

Working on it.

Go be with your friends.

If you need me, call me.

-Okay. Thank you. -Okay.

Bye.

Look.

Alex likes Rafa.

We all had a hunch.

Now we know.

Does anyone have a problem?

No. None.

Very well. Problem solved.

Let's work. Tomorrow is a big day.

Listen, you have to memorize the answers.

Isn't that like studying?

You'll study less.

-I'll take Diego's. -Is he not coming?

No, he's very emotional since he broke up with Mariana.

Let's stay clear. What if he has issues with us interacting?

Do you take apples?

What are you doing?

Nothing, I'm in line.

How did it go with Bernardo?

I'm not telling you.

You're not getting it, but...

I want to be your boyfriend.

That's good, but I don't.

I'll do anything you want.

You'd have to stop being you.

-Honey. -Not now!

You threw these away.

I think you made a mistake.

I'm closing.

I'll finish. Go home.

I'll finish this and help you.

How are you?

I'm still thinking of Memo.

And...

Mom.

I know we never talk about that,

but it sucks, Dad.

Alex, this isn't the place.

It's never the place.

You never talk about her.

That's not true.

But we can't live in the past, always looking back.

Why? Do you want to forget her?

No. No.

I couldn't if I wanted to.

You're always saying that you have to move forward, and...

I'm trying to be strong.

For you two.

We don't need you to be strong.

All my certainties in the air

I no longer know how to return to what I was

All roads suddenly open up

And I forgot how to go on

Do you need anything, Marifer?

Do you remember when you said I'm a good writer?

Yes.

But then you started to write like Memo.

But yes, I remember you're a good writer.

Well, I brought you something.

But you have to give it back.

-What is this? -Something I wrote.

Maybe it's not good.

Let me hear it and I'll tell you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I don't know what you did, but you look a lot better.

I do feel a lot better.

I hope you listened to me and you're drinking during class.

No.

I was talking to the kids and...

I feel I have a connection with them.

Thanks for helping me.

I don't really know what I did, but hey...

You listened to me.

If one day you feel like it,

we can grab a drink...

get dinner and a movie

-or anything... -Yes.

-We can go out as friends. -Okay.

You never know where it can lead to.

Salatiel, I haven't told you. But I have a girlfriend.

What do you mean, "girlfriend"?

Girlfriend.

We've been together for two years.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

BIOLOGY - PHYSICS - ENGLISH - SPANISH

Today is the day.

I'm excited. Are you excited?

Alex, did you memorize them?

No.

I studied.

Very well.

No one is worried about you.

Let's go.

Thank you, teacher.

I have a feeling I will do really well.

Shut up!

Before you start, guys,

I want to say something.

I know what you think about me.

When I started teaching more than 30 years ago,

I was a sweet teacher.

My students loved me.

Maybe I didn't teach them a lot, but...

I was always there for them.

I don't know when things changed.

What happened to your classmate made me think,

and realize that life is too short.

That maybe I can be who I used to be, and...

make you happy.

And the first step is

to finish once and for all with the Impossible Exam.

You have in front of you a new exam.

Easier and friendlier,

so everyone can pass.

Well, as long as you studied.

You can start now.

BE HAPPY!!

Let's run away. Or hide. Or both!

We need to say it wasn't our fault.

They won't understand.

-Should we run? -No.

Let's fix this.

What did you do, assholes?

We didn't know she'd change the answers.

-I saw you answering. -Yes, I studied.

What's happening? I don't get it.

It was beyond our control, but we'll give...

-Shut up, asshole! -Diego!

-It's not about you. -Don't mess with him again.

Why? Is he your boyfriend?

Diego!

Respect my friend.

Diego.

Get him!

-Hit him! -Dude, what do we do?

I feel guilty about hitting Memo's friends.

Should we punch Diego?

He's our friend, you idiot!

Son of a bitch!

Diego, you're a jerk!

He always resorts to violence!

And he can't be this way, Paulina!

My mom warned me about...

Dude, I'm a pacifist!

Fight! Fight!

Punch him, dude!

What's going on?

-Split up! -No, wait!

Pull the beasts apart!

What was that? I'll get you, Camacho!

Alex!

What's going on here?

No one's saying anything?

It was Alex's fault.

Alex and Tenoch started it.

I don't think they did, sir.

Listen, Diego, Alex, and Tenoch. To my office!

-Why me? -Now! I don't wanna hear it!

They sold us the physics test.

They sell papers, homework, and now they ripped us off.

Who?

Alex, Tenoch.

Marifer.

Me too.

Well...

You four, come with me. Right now!

I've heard rumors about this,

but I thought, "Maybe it's not true.

"Maybe it's me. Maybe it's all lies."

Tenoch isn't responsible.

It was just us.

Diego is set against him.

Wait. I appreciate it, but we'll go down together.

Don't be stupid.

You'll lose your scholarship.

He's right, I'm kicking you all out.

If I were you, I'd reconsider.

Excuse me?

Thanks to our work, the school's GPA has improved.

We're competing for the best GPA in the district.

But now Bright Hills High will win. Like always.

Not necessarily.

We can work together.

We keep selling, the grades keep improving.

If you kick us out,

you'll lose the two best GPAs in your school.

No one has to know what's going on.

I can also expel you all. And that's it.

We'll give you 10% of the profits.

I doubt you're making millions.

-Do you have a computer? -No.

I'm saving up for one.

We can get one for you.

The best one available.

No, Tenoch.

What do you say?

UNITED FOR PROGRESS SOLIDARITY

Hurry! What if someone else wants to beat us up?

Avoid eye contact.

No, the kids don't sell homework. No way!

Diego made that up.

And I'm telling you.

We must be very careful with that kid because he's stepping out of line.

So, what did the fight just now mean?

The kids carry lots of badly channeled energy.

That's why we have to increase P. E. lessons!

And I promise to play classical music during recess.

This seems a bit weird.

Even I find it suspicious.

Listen, my fellow teachers,

please!

You focus on your job and let me focus on mine!

And what is your job, exactly?

To guide the kids

so they fulfill their potential in life.

What are we gonna do?

Who knows.

The principal is a bastard.

We have to give the money back.

Listen, maybe things aren't that bad.

Okay. They blow.

What you need is to watch a movie.

Movies can cure anything, or at least you forget for a while.

Well, we never finished watching Child's Play.

Hey, that's a classic.

-I'll look for it. -I'll get popcorn.

Tenoch,

you shouldn't give him your computer.

Memo would've done that.

He would've taken a bullet for us.

Or at least he would've passed out.

Too bad he isn't here anymore.

You're right.

He would've stayed.

At least we're together.

It's better than feeling upset, or being alone.

Everything's better together.

At least we have that.

Things will get much worse.

Who knows.

My mom says that '94 will end with a bang.

That it'll be the best year in Mexico's history.

Believe in that.

All my certainties in the air

I no longer know how to return to what I was

All roads suddenly open up

And I forgot how to go on

I want to get rid of the shadow

The one that claims without saying

I want to forget What doesn't understand me

And all that is left over from me

And I don't know where the wind goes

And why it changed

I can't go back to what I was

It's gone

And it won't be the same

Words no longer say anything

They can't tell and describe

I don't understand They no longer mean what they used to

They can't speak for me

I want to shake off all this doubt

And learn all over again

I want to know who I am every moment

Tell me how it ends

Tell me how it ends

The end, the happy ending

Tell me how it ends

The end, the happy ending

And I don't know where the wind goes

And why it changed

I can't go back to what I was

It's gone

And it won't be the same
