What did her message say?
"Is that all you have to say after last night?"
So, you still smelled of her, you bastard!
-Guzmán! -Let me tell you something, Samuel.
You're a liar.
You pretend you're a good guy and my friend,
but you have no fucking clue what being a good friend is.
I'd punch you if we weren't in a restaurant.
-Don't look at me like that. -Is this your idea of taking a stand?
Guzmán.
This isn't a competition or something I did on a whim, okay?
What matters is that you're my friend, and I don't want to hurt you.
Let me say something to you two, okay?
Fuck you both!
Got that?
-Will you please listen-- -Shut the hell up.
-I'm finally gonna read it. -Good. I gave it to you a year ago.
Now I'll have the time on my trip.
Know what? I might even go with you.
How come?
I honestly don't know what I'm doing here.
You should've left when you wanted to.
I had my reasons.
One reason in particular.
You idiot.
I love having the two of you at the house. Even if it's a goodbye.
Are you telling everyone at school today?
Yeah.
Leaving halfway through the year? Really? Can't you wait till summer?
Who knows where I'll be come summer. Or if I'll be here.
Come here.
Come on. Okay. Stop. You said you'd support me.
Yes, but let me have my "suffering mother" moments.
Off you go.
Bye.
BEFORE I GO: OMAR
I can't wait for the holidays this year.
I've always liked spending time with my family, and maybe…
Ari, I need to talk to you.
To me? What about?
Your sister won't listen, so maybe you will.
You're gonna use me to solve your problems with my sister?
Have a merry Christmas, Rebeka.
-Well-- -Please.
I'll be right back.
My advice to you is that you forget about my sister.
Save yourself some sleepless nights.
And leave her with no choice but to keep seeing that creepy old guy?
What creepy old guy? Armando?
They're just friends. What do you mean, she has no choice?
Now you're crazy and jealous?
Yeah, sure, they're besties. Did she say how they met?
-Out drinking. -Yeah, right.
With money involved.
What?
I'm not telling you this because I'm bitter or want her back.
I know that telling you means I'll lose her forever.
This is in case you can help her since she won't let me.
Get out.
-Caye, just a second. -No, get out.
-Let me-- -Don't touch me.
Listen to me. I'm begging you.
Let's go outside, where there are cameras. You like them, right?
I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
We were partying, and we had a lot to drink.
So? That's not an excuse, Phillipe.
Cayetana, it's totally normal that I misread the signals.
What signals exactly? There were plenty of signals.
I don't know. We were making out, right?
The fact that we were making out is no excuse.
I said no more than once, Phillipe.
Did you misinterpret those signals, too?
You only got the message when I jumped out of your limo.
Caye…
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
Fuck no.
Don't listen to her. She made it all up because she's hurt.
I don't think she'd make something like that up.
Ari, I'm telling you, ignore her.
Mencía, are you sure?
-Stay out of my goddamn life! -Mencía…
All right…
Whatever's going on with Armando or whoever…
It's my own goddamn problem, and I'll handle it myself.
No, Mencía! That's what you always say.
Then you just walk away and leave the rest of us to clean up your mess!
You should trust your family a bit more.
-Let's tell Dad. -No.
-Will you stop being mad at Dad? -Don't say a word to Benjamín.
But Dad could fix this in a second.
I said no, Ari.
Not a word to him, Patrick, or anyone.
I swear if you tell Benjamín, you all will never see me again, got it?
I've tried everything to forget you.
But I realized it's pointless, because I can't,
and ridiculous, because I don't want to.
I won't forgive myself for giving up on you because I'd never done that.
Not even when I thought you were dying.
I won't do it again.
Give up on you, I mean.
If you're willing, I want to give us another chance.
What do you think?
You were going to New York for Malick, and you didn't because of me.
Have you wondered where you'd be now if you'd listened to your gut?
I didn't stay here for you. It was for me.
I can't imagine my life without you.
I want to be with you.
But if you don't want that, it's okay.
I won't start drama or hold it against you.
I'll just accept it.
I'll leave you alone.
BEFORE I GO: OMAR
Omar, wait.
Come in.
Excuse me. You wanted to see me?
Benjamín, would you give us a moment?
Are you trying to defend your son's actions?
No matter what passing fads may claim,
men are born with
that characteristic vigor,
and we women have the ability to harness it.
And that is a very powerful gift.
There's no need to deny biology or to make a huge fuss about changing it.
Forget about any other girls
and whatever you might have heard about Phillipe
because my son has chosen you.
Over everything.
And everyone.
Do you know how many things will no longer be a concern for you and your family?
Countless things.
Don't be silly.
Don't refuse this gift life has offered you.
Cayetana, I'd love it if you came to our New Year's Eve party
on Phillipe's arm.
DECEMBER 31
Oh, you look so handsome!
Come on in. Ander's in the shower.
We have so many plans for after graduation.
-We deserve it. -Can I ask you a personal question?
Yes?
-Shoot. -Why did you get back together?
Because… we love each other, Azucena.
But that's not enough.
I love my ex very much.
He's Ander's father, and I'll never stop loving him.
But you need to share a common goal.
I don't mean a house and kids.
I'm not that crazy.
But you need to be on the same page.
I just told you we have so many plans.
"We" or just you?
He's staying for you again.
I didn't force him to do that.
I told him that if he didn't want to get back together, I'd accept it.
Omar…
What's up?
Wow.
You look great.
Would you excuse me?
-How's it going? -Fine. And you?
Hi.
You look amazing.
Thanks.
It's your moment to shine at the photo op.
Impress them.
Excuse me.
Your son's vigor is not a question of biology,
Your Highness, but of upbringing.
Screw them.
What do you intend to do?
I organized this to celebrate the New Year with my guests.
And Cayetana is my guest in her own right. As a friend and as a designer.
You are a fool and an ingrate.
And whose fault is that?
Who raised me this way?
Phillipe…
I brought you into this world. I raised you.
I never took my eyes off you,
except when it was better to look the other way.
Which was often the case.
My role has been to love and protect you, and I have done so impeccably.
If now, all of a sudden,
you want to be an adult and go it alone, fine.
Accept the consequences of your actions.
Take it easy, Ari. We know how you get when you drink.
I don't know what you mean. I hardly ever drink.
We've now gone from "never" to "hardly ever."
Go talk to her.
No way.
Then keep wallowing in your pride and see how it goes.
Don't start lecturing me.
You were going to travel but didn't because of Omar.
-I'll go when the time comes. -You can't give things up for others.
They won't do the same for you.
You know? Take Nadia, for instance. She chose her future over me.
And I kept pursuing our relationship like an idiot.
And what about Ari?
What about her?
You're still pissed that Nadia put her future ahead of being with you,
but Ari wants to be in your life, and you reject her?
Ari and Nadia are totally different.
Ari wants me, Samuel,
and the entire soccer and basketball teams.
Okay? Totally different things.
You told me a thousand times
you want the kind of relationship I have with Omar.
Well, this is how it works. We compromise. Both of us.
Do you want to lose Ari because she screwed up? Or Samuel?
I wouldn't want to lose Omar over that.
Go on, talk to her.
Come on.
Thanks, handsome.
What?
Nothing.
Do you have a minute? I can't talk in there.
I don't want to end the year with drama, Samuel.
One minute. That's all.
I also imagined a different start to the year.
With you and stuff.
I never believed someone like you would love someone like me.
Well, you were obviously wrong.
Was I wrong, Ari?
That stunt you pulled about not wanting to give up Guzmán or me
seems like a very cowardly way
of not being honest with the one you don't love.
I know you love Guzmán.
It's no big deal. Admit it.
It seems perfectly logical. The way it should be.
But please leave me alone.
You're used to having it all in life, but that's a lie.
You can't have it all.
So stay away from me
and don't tempt me whenever you feel like it.
Forget about me.
To me, all the damage we've done and will keep doing isn't worth it.
It's just not. Sorry.
WHERE ARE YOU?
I WANT TO START THE NEW YEAR WITH YOU.
I HAVE PLANS. I'M SORRY.
I KNOW. I'M HERE, IN YOUR PLANS.
Seven minutes until the New Year!
-Come with me. -Even on Grindr, people say hi first.
Patrick. Born here, raised in London. Versatile. More of a bottom.
Coming or not?
I don't know what got into me. I have no idea what I was thinking.
I'll wait for you by the dock at the lake. Please come and hear me out.
Are you smiling at me?
Should we end the year right?
Okay, what's wrong? I know you.
I know you were planning to leave. Twice.
And you put it on hold for me twice.
I think about it sometimes, but it's no big deal.
-Go. -I don't want to.
Seriously, go.
Omar, I'm happy here with you.
I know. I don't doubt it.
But I'll feel better if you go on that trip.
I really mean it.
I'll wait for you if you want me to.
Sure, we'll do our own thing. I'm not my sister, and you're not Guzmán.
Your happiness makes me happy.
Rebeka, I don't know if it's true.
I can't be sure whether that stuff about Armando is true or not.
Whether what you said is true or not.
I cannot know.
All I know is that Mencía said that if I do anything to help her,
I'll never see her again.
I told you the truth, Ari.
Son of a bitch.
What's wrong?
Don't touch me.
You invaded my house, my relationship. What else do you want from me?
To spend New Year's Eve with you. I told you, Menci.
Don't call me "Menci," you crazy fucker!
Don't call me "crazy fucker," you brat.
-You bitch! -Rebe! What are you doing?
I'm sorry, but I'm not going anywhere. If you need help, I'm there, okay?
Mencía!
Guzmán.
I'd like to start the year off by giving my friend a hug.
Forgive me. I swear I'm done with Ari.
Well, well, well! Three minutes until the New Year!
Is that why you were with her earlier?
-Hell no! I was just-- -Stop lying to me, Samuel!
I don't care if my sister won't talk about it.
-What the hell do you want? -I'm telling my dad everything.
He'll snap his fingers, and your life will be over.
Because you're a huge son of a bitch.
You won't be able to ruin my sister's life or anyone else's
because my family and I will fuck yours up first.
-I'm calling my dad. -What are you doing?
I already told you. Calling my dad.
Give me the phone.
No.
Hello?
Ari? Ari, can you hear me?
Dad!
No… Help!
Elodie, I know it's probably too late now, but
forgive me.
Leave me alone!
You're a goddamn liar!
Now you have a voice message from me admitting what I did.
Use it as you see fit.
I love you.
I love you too.
Are you okay?
I'LL BE AT THE DOCK AFTER THE LAST BELL RINGS.
I don't know what got into me. I have no idea what I was thinking.
I'll wait for you by the dock at the lake. Please come and hear me out.
Hey!
Ari!
Ari! No! Ari!
Are you okay? What did he do to you?
Who was that? What did he do to you?
Guzmán, go after him.
Okay.
You stay here.
Son of a bitch!
Hey!
Have you seen Ari?
What happened?
You haven't seen her?
Damn…
That sick bastard was blackmailing Mencía so he could abuse her.
Ari knew because I told her.
-Shit! -It's over.
She was so wasted earlier that I bet she went after him.
That's why he was hitting her.
He's a son of a bitch, Guzmán. A son of a bitch.
Call the cops. We'll tell them.
We'll call the police now, but we're not telling them everything.
We'll tell them Ari is missing and that we don't know where she is.
Period.
And I won't confess?
Guzmán, I need you to tell me what you saw tonight.
The girl is alive.
I repeat, the girl is alive.
If you go to jail, your life is over. Even when you get out.
Just look at my brother.
Your brother was innocent.
So are you.
Until proven otherwise. Got it?
He knocked me down and ran away.
I couldn't do anything.
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you want to see me?
I couldn't look you in the eye after all I've done to you.
I don't know what happened to me, Guzmán.
I've never been confused about my feelings.
I know you'll always be there for me, and I want to be there for you.
You love Samuel.
No, that's not true.
-I understand. -No.
I read the text you sent him.
And I went looking for you.
I wanted you to tell me to my face.
But it's okay.
Forgive me for all the bad times.
I hope the good times outnumbered them.
Take care of yourself, Ari.
That's it?
Goodbye.
Waiter…
I should have hit you harder, you jerk.
Take care, Samu. You would've made a great brother-in-law.
Rebe…
Thanks for everything.
Don't say anything to Cayetana or Omar.
Of course not. I swear.
I love you.
I love you more.
Well…
the same?
Okay.
Well, guys…
thanks for everything.
Yeah?
Any news about Armando?
Not at all.
It's like he disappeared off the face of the earth.
Well, maybe it's for the best.
Are you upset about that?
I'm scared he'll show up all of a sudden.
I'm going to tell Dad everything.
Enough is enough.
It was my fault Mom died. It was my fault Patrick almost died.
And it was my fault you almost died.
Don't be ridiculous, Mencía.
You're not to blame for anything.
Okay?
Ari… I will always think that.
Come here.
Could you be there with me when I tell Dad?
I'll be right by your side.
