In an attempt to return to normalcy, Las Encinas is reopening its classrooms.
The school board has sent us an official communiqué confirming that.
You don't think this could happen here.
Two weeks later, we still don't have information on the shooting.
Thankfully, there were no injuries. We'll update you as the story develops.
My sister got out of there.
Now her life's incredible. She's happy, fulfilled.
And look at me.
It'll pass.
The bad times never last. Just like the good.
When will the pain go away, Mateo?
I'm thinkin' about going back on my medication.
I still have some around.
You don't need to go back on the medication.
Much less self-medicate, Omar.
How long will the damn nightmares last?
The panic attacks?
The black fuckin' cloud hanging over my head?
Unfortunately, you can't run from it. Only through it.
Stay with it. Feel it all.
Then one day, you'll be on the other side.
And I can assure you that Las Encinas is a safe place still.
How can you know for sure?
I mean, I don't understand why this is even up for debate.
Our children's lives are in danger.
- María, please. - No.
I think Dídac… should be expelled.
- Mama! - Nico, we can discuss this later.
Having Mafia heirs at Las Encinas doesn't reflect very well-
You're conflating him with the Mafia?
Oh don't. It was all over the news.
Sensational headlines. Clickbait.
And Dídac is just a teenager.
Yeah. Look, whatever your name is, I don't really care.
- I'm Luis, academic director. - Oh. I don't care.
What actually matters is they came because they knew he went here.
So either you kick Dídac out,
or we're pulling our kids out of the school.
- Did I make myself clear? - We have no other choice.
- No. We have no other choice. - No, María.
Okay, please!
I'd like to ask you all to take two days.
Really think it over. We'll take a vote.
And if anyone wants to delegate their vote to someone-
Or to these two, we'll permit you to do so.
Fine. Under one condition.
Until we have your vote, keep him out of school.
Okay. Uh, thank you.
Once you've made a decision, we'll continue this conversation.
Dídac.
It's fuckin' amazing.
How you can fuck up my life no matter where I go.
- You need to stop! - Hey. Relax. Calm the hell down.
They're gonna kick me outta school. Pop's gonna take me back to Jávea.
What the hell are you up to that'd lead to a shootout?
You're not going anywhere anytime soon.
Answer my question.
If you wanna stay out of this mess, then stay out of it.
That's fine with me.
But then don't ask any more questions.
- I had made real friends here. - I told you, you're not leaving.
Trust me, man.
We can't let them do this. This is a fucked-up situation.
Well, I mean, literal shots were fired.
All right. Let's go. Everyone back to their seats, please.
Nico, would I be able to borrow those photos of you with Dídac?
I swear I'll give them back to you,
but I think I could use these to maybe help him stay.
Thanks.
Nico!
Hey, um, you know, I think it's really cool you're fighting for him.
He's my best friend.
The ones who'll do anything for their friends
are the ones you wanna keep around.
CHECK OUT THE SLUTTY NEW GIRL.
Wait, what's happening?
Did all our phones go off at the same time?
It's explicit content, and they're calling the girl a slut.
It's probably a fake account.
Looks like someone leaked a sex tape.
Hey, don't watch it. If it's leaked, it's invading her privacy.
Well, I know I will. Why the hell not?
Sara, come on. Don't.
Are you filming right now?
Filming me turns you on, huh?
All right. Stop.
Sure took you a while before snatching it.
You were judging me and snooping simultaneously.
- Hello. - Hey.
I wanted to say, them leaking that video was awful.
You must feel like shit.
Not really. I'm good.
I'm not losing any sleep, you know?
Well, shit. If that'd happened to me…
Look, they stole my phone the other day.
Things happen. That's life.
And since there's not much I can do about it. Next.
By the way, I'm Chloe.
Sonia.
Nice to meet you.
I do appreciate the concern.
Too bad this was a pool day, huh?
Relax. We'll be fine here too.
It's the company that matters.
Plans are just a pretext, right? Cheers.
Now these are ice cubes.
Not like they serve overseas.
Spanish ice cubes are just the best.
Hmm.
Come on. Try to behave.
When I'm good, I'm so very good. But when I'm naughty, I'm better.
Well, cheers.
Hi, Mom.
Oh, hey. Hon, do you remember José Luis?
Well, that rings a bell.
She was so little back then.
Well, well. How you've grown.
Well, yeah. And… I've grown pretty well too.
Why don't you go for a walk? We have a lot to talk about.
Sure.
Well, been a pleasure, José Luis.
Yeah, for me too.
Hey.
Eyes over here.
Psst, psst, psst. Hey.
Is my daughter gone?
Mm-hmm.
What?
Carmen! That's uncalled for.
Assholes like you make my blood boil.
But I didn't say anything.
- You didn't say it out loud. - You made your point.
Come on. Come here, silly.
You wouldn't happen to have a suit from one of your other lovers, would you?
If you're not careful, you might end up eating this skirt.
Well, now.
I'll have to take the taxi home with a stain.
- See you tomorrow? - Mm-hmm.
Come on, silly.
We'll talk more tomorrow about… what brought you to Madrid.
- It's not me, I'm sure. - Aren't you clever?
Ciao.
Welcome, welcome!
- You got it? - Yeah, I'm good.
Okay. I'll leave this over here.
Yeah, that's fine.
- Hey, are you hungry? - Yeah. We can order something.
Good, 'cause I am starving. Let's order something yummy. Like pizza.
- I'd love that. - Mm, okay.
All right.
Surprise!
Hey!
Thanks, guys.
Even though the police say there's evidence
that points to the burned car being his,
I know it wasn't Patrick.
Yeah, but then he disappeared with his family.
I mean, it's weird.
I know, but I don't care.
It wasn't him.
He'd never do that to you.
Iván, I feel… awful.
I am so, so sorry.
Truly.
Sorry for all the pain you've been through in a… short time.
Be right back.
I'll go see what's up.
What are you doing?
What the hell are you thinking?
Huh?
Are you gonna confess?
You can't be serious.
You're fucking…
I can't do this.
Oh, so you can't do this?
Oh, poor Sara!
You think you're the only one going through it?
Do you wanna go to the cops? Let's go. But I'll confess for you.
- You what? - I'll tell them I was the one driving.
What are you talking about?
It's about getting this fucking thing over with,
but I'm not gonna let you ruin your life or rot in a cell.
I mean, there's no way.
I would rather I go to prison than you. Or kill myself if I have to.
Listen to me.
No one has to pay if we just stick together.
The worst is over now. I promise.
Just trust me.
Okay? Hey.
Hey.
SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
Okay, for tomorrow, make sure you've read the origin and theoretical perspective
of the Frankfurt School.
Thank you.
Omar.
Someone contacted the school about a paid internship.
You'd be coordinating and managing an app to support students
at a school called Las Encinas.
You went to that school, didn't you?
No. I didn't.
Oh, no? Oh. Well, I thought I read that in-
- Well, I didn't. - Well, sorry about the mix-up.
In any case, if you're interested in the internship, call him.
No, thank you.
I'm not interested.
ACADEMIC DIRECTOR
Why are you asking us to do this?
Nico's become the wonderful young man he is today
thanks to his role models at home.
But at this point in his life, he needs role models who are his age,
that treat him as an equal.
It's natural.
I think that's what Dídac is for Nico.
I mean…
it'd be unfair to have one student pay 'cause of who his family is.
And another lose his friend and role model 'cause of his family's stubbornness.
NO TO SPECULATION
People without homes! Homes without people!
SQUAT HOUSE RIOTS
The occupied space,
located in an area of the capital known as Madrid Río,
is asserting its self-proclaimed status as a social center.
In fact, the activists responsible…
María.
What?
- Did you see him just now? - See who?
…the activists on the name, we were told,
like a spider, the center has woven its own web…
Thank you very much.
Eric!
- Hi, Auntie. - Hello.
- Are you okay? - Mm.
Where are your parents?
They don't know I'm here.
What do you mean, they don't know you're here?
I'll tell them right now.
No, don't. I don't want them to know.
They're not in my life anymore. Period.
Where are you living?
Wherever I can find a place.
How's my cousin Nico?
Great. He's well. He's… very happy.
I'm so proud of him.
Come on. Let's go.
Really?
- Don't you remember? - I'll take one.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
You all right, Sara?
Yes, it's just these kinda things make me a little intense.
Oh, don't you worry, honey. We're all very intense here.
- Pizza and music? - Uh, yes, please.
The pizza guy's already here?
Hello.
Nico invited me.
And I wanted to give Iván a hug.
- Hey, Dídac. - How are you?
- Good. - I'm so happy to see you.
Well, head into the living room. Everyone's there.
- All right. - See you in a sec.
What?
Do you really think it's best to keep avoiding him
on his last night before they take the vote?
Iván, mind your business.
Isa, wait.
Look. I know all too well what it's like to realize that
you won't be able to spend time with someone again.
Or do the things you never did together.
And it hurts like hell.
You have no idea.
And you?
How're you doing?
We're really getting on your nerves, aren't we?
I really appreciate it, but-
If you say the word, give me three minutes, and I'll kick them out.
Hello.
Hey, bro!
Nico!
Oh! How are you? You stayin' for dinner?
Actually, he's living here.
- He's stayin' here? - He is?
And, um… for how long?
Not sure. For a while, probably.
Oh yeah!
Please. We'll talk later.
Dude, I'm telling you, you must have some major balls
to slug it out with cops who are armed to the teeth.
Weren't you scared shitless?
We have to fight if we wanna end injustice, man.
If we don't stand up, the bad guys win.
That's right.
And were you there the whole time? Didn't you leave?
How could I leave? I'm the one that runs the show there.
I would've shat myself in your situation.
"If we don't stand up, then the bad guys win."
Good guys and bad guys.
Violent and immature. What were you thinking, bringing him here?
What should I have done? I couldn't leave him out there.
Well, your brother knows him. Maybe he knows what he's doing.
Eric is a good kid.
Being with Nico, with us.
A home where he can feel warmth, love, care…
We could get his life back on track.
- Or it'll derail Nico. - No, that won't happen.
Because Nico has common sense and won't get into trouble.
Please, Alfonso. I'm only asking for a few weeks.
To just give it a go, and we can decide from there.
Mom!
I'm taking Eric out for a drink.
Okay, sweetheart.
I wanna spend Dídac's last night with him.
We're meeting at Isadora's.
- Don't come back too late. - Okay.
I'll change, and we can go.
María…
Look, I get it. I know that Eric is your flesh and blood.
But you should show more grace to your son's best friend,
who actually is quite a good influence on him.
Hey.
I've written a thousand letters on my phone,
and thought up a thousand speeches in my head to try and get you back.
But ultimately, this message is to say goodbye.
I refuse to lose you forever, even if it is necessary.
Let me live with the hope that one day we will meet again.
I'm not asking for something that was never there.
I'm not asking for something to be invented.
I just wanna go back to something we once had.
Something that was real.
But for my wish to be fulfilled, my only option is to disappear.
Or that's what I'm told.
So, until we see each other again…
I love you.
I love you so much, Iván.
I've always loved you, and I always will.
- Hello? - Yeah?
Yeah, hi. Did you, uh, order some pizzas?
Well, I did. But, um…
I can't move. I'm in a bit of a situation.
Enter the code on the control panel and come inside.
The code is one, nine, nine, seven.
Shit. Are you okay?
Hey. Do you want me to take you?
I mean, take you inside, you know?
- Like, move you inside the house. - Okay.
- Help me up? - Come on. Let's go.
Let's go. One, two, and three.
- Oh, thanks. Fuck. - There you are. You okay?
Oh man. This is quite the house, isn't it?
You're all alone here?
Yep.
I'm sorry. Um, asking that. I know it's not my business.
It's cool.
Hey, look. Just tell me where to leave this, and I'll bounce, all right?
Yeah, you can put it there. That's good.
Hey, have you had dinner yet?
If you wanna stay for dinner, I mean, I ordered a lot of pizza.
- Oh shit. That was way too forward. - Uh, no. No, it's fine.
Well, I, um…
I mean, I can skip a few orders.
Sweet.
So where's your kitchen? I'll go get us some beers.
- You have some, right? - Yeah, I have beers. It's in the back.
- Okay. Sick. - All the way over there.
Where are you going?
Let's see. Let me see that.
You can barely see it.
Your stubbornness causes this stuff.
- Hmm? - I'm going to Isadora's.
Why? We saw Iván already.
I wanna see everyone else.
See how stubborn you are? Huh?
C'mon, let's go. Let's choose a movie before it gets late.
- Hello. - How are you, gorgeous?
Guys, this is Chloe. I asked her to come along and join us.
What's up?
The security forces are the arm of a fascist state.
Where our human lives are just pawns.
Oh my God.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, but I'm gonna head downstairs.
I'm more into twerking than being lectured.
Anyone coming?
No? Well, all right, then.
Wow. Good thing you invited her to join.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go. I have things to do, but it's been fun.
Uh, I need a drink.
But they'll serve us up here.
COME TO MY SUITE.
Going to the john.
Uh, well, I'm leaving too.
I'm going to…
I'm off.
Wow. They all left in a hurry.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, I didn't get a chance to thank you.
For not tearing you a new one
when you toyed with me in order to get to Ari?
Wow.
I'm sorry.
Sounded way less passive-aggressive in my head.
A good-natured little jab.
It's thanks for stopping you
and not letting you go in the clinic. I know.
I just wanted to remind you that the Nico I knew accepted himself.
Just as he was.
What?
You're standing here for a reason, right?
Yeah. I've been thinking about what happened to you.
With the video and all that.
What a dick move.
It wasn't a pleasant experience. 'Cause they stole something private.
Not 'cause of what you see. Which is just sex, after all.
- Have you seen it? - Seen what?
The video.
No. No, of course I haven't.
Well, do you want to?
What?
Yeah. Everyone else already has.
Let's give it the importance it deserves. Less than none.
And let me tell you something.
It's only natural that it got leaked because it's super hot.
It's your privacy.
Yeah, but I'm the one who wants to show it to you.
So what do you say?
Come on. Why don't we go somewhere more discreet?
Well, do you like it?
Surprised you're so shameless about showing it to me.
And what about you, watching it?
Come on. Let's not be hypocrites.
I turned you on, didn't I?
Look, this is who I am.
Take me…
or leave me.
Hmm?
Take me?
Fuck me.
Thing is… I'm more into having a beer first
and gettin' to know the other person.
Oh. Getting to know them? Or having them get to know you?
And discover how wonderful you are and fall head over heels? Hmm?
You're into being admired, and I'm into…
…turning you on.
Who cares about a million-euro inheritance,
when euros can't bring everything I've lost back to me, you know?
Well, yeah, but you… have this house.
And the money will be able to help you pay for professional help
to overcome the trauma you've been through.
Or at least set you up for a comfortable future.
You know, Iván,
I have no future and no money to secure it.
I'm stuck dealing with the present every day.
I don't know.
The saying's wrong.
Money may not buy happiness,
but, you know, it can buy something pretty damn close.
Fuck. I'm so sorry.
Here, I was trying to cheer you up, and I've left you worse than I found you.
- No way. You're good. - If you want, I'll leave.
No, no, no. Stay. Stay.
Even though you're a stranger, I feel so comfortable with you.
Yeah, me too.
That's enough!
You and me are gonna talk.
I don't wanna hear a sound.
I said shut the fuck up.
I mean, yeah.
The universe keeps giving us signs that me and you aren't supposed to be together.
But the thing is, maybe those signs are telling us that we can overcome
any obstacles that stand in our way, Isadora.
Because here we are again, together.
Okay.
I mean, ideally, it should be way easier and blah, blah, blah, blah.
I know how it goes.
Okay, then.
Goodbye, Isadora.
No, wait. Hold up.
I don't want you leaving like this.
Hold on, there's a slight turn right here.
Now keep going forward.
A little more.
Here.
I feel like dancing.
Did I do somethin' wrong?
No, not at all. But I'm…
But I can't do this. I'm sorry.
No, stop.
Tell me what's wrong.
I can't do it. I can't. I can't. I don't know why.
No. You're just not ready yet. That's all it is.
But I want to.
I really want to. And I want it to be with you.
Hey. I'm not going anywhere.
Sorry about that.
I know I shouldn't have kissed you earlier.
Don't worry. You're good. There's no need to apologize.
I wanted to do it.
Do you have a sec?
I haven't been this comfortable around someone in a long time.
So I'd like for us to maybe be friends.
Just friends. I mean it. I promise.
Okay. It's cool with me.
Yeah?
Cool. We're bros.
And as your new friend, I'd like to…
to give all the money that I inherited to you.
Meaning I'd like to help you secure
the future you think you're never gonna have.
Hey. Um…
Would you like to have a drink sometime and chat?
A real conversation.
Not… Not me talking at you. We can get to know each other.
Yeah, well, we'll see what we can work out.
Uh, what's your Insta? Or your, uh…
You should try to be more careful with the videos you record of yourself.
We've seen what can happen.
Sweetheart. So, listen. Maybe you should get off my back.
I mean, we've only just met, and you're hella intense and annoying.
And I'm the leaker of the video.
- Hmm? - What the hell?
Okay, look, Mom.
Haven't you always told me to look for a rich boyfriend
who will treat me like a queen?
Well, at Las Encinas, I can get a few of those.
And you'll get one by carrying on that way? Hmm?
I have the attention of the whole school now.
And three-quarters of them want me.
Look. If there's anything you've learned from your mother,
it's to respect yourself.
That, and that we have a lot more to offer.
- Way more. - Mm.
Yeah?
Like what, Mom?
What else have we got? Tell me.
We're nothing but hollow shells.
That's all they want from us. That's what we take advantage of.
And I'm not doing a thing I haven't learned from the best there is.
From Pamela, Paris, Kim…
And from you, Mom.
I learned from you. You're the best in the game.
As much as you insist and try to convince me
with all the tools in your box, which are quite a few,
I can't issue you Cruz's pension.
It isn't possible.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Of course you can do it.
You were his lawyer.
It's impossible. Period.
Impossible?
A word thrown around by the foolish.
Look, Carmen. I can't and won't do it.
Although I suppose this means you won't want to see me anymore.
Let me see.
The contract I signed with your father and Cruz
said that I would receive my pension under the stipulation
that I would stay away from my child.
Wasn't that written in our deal?
That's right.
Very well.
Then, if there won't be a pension,
there's nothing to stop me from seeing him.
Joel.
Joel?
This came for you.
Fuck.
YOUR FUTURE YOUR FRIEND, IVÁN
What's that?
Just explain it to me.
What do I have to explain? Huh?
Dalmar, can we have the room to ourselves?
- Go talk in your own room. - Come on, man.
I'm going out. Not letting you ruin my day.
Well?
Look, um… I don't know when I first thought about it.
But I applied, and that's it.
Without telling me?
Oh, do I have to ask permission if I wanna be anything more
than just a pizza guy?
And how you gonna pay for it?
With a scholarship.
A scholarship?
You found a scholarship and a school and told me nothing?
I didn't in case I didn't get in.
Okay. If you have the money, go to another school.
- What? Why? - There's a fuck ton of good schools.
- Don't go to Las Encinas. - Why do you care if I go there, Omar?
Why would I have to give up the best school if they want me there?
So, you studied there.
You've told me about the state school you went to for a year.
Was that a lie?
Well, then.
I hid the fact that I applied, and you hid that you studied there.
We're even.
I never told you 'cause that place fucked me up.
Hurt me and people I loved.
Joel, don't go there. I'm begging you.
Look. I don't know what happened to you there.
Or what happened to those loved ones that you mentioned.
But, fuck. Not everyone who goes to Las Encinas has a hard time.
So many success stories walk out of there.
I think it's unfair of you
to try to deny me the chance to better myself.
And what if they fuck you up too?
What if they don't?
What if, for the first time in my life, I have a dream for the future?
Or that place can change you.
Omar.
I… I know who the hell I am.
Okay?
And I promise that nobody will change me there.
Look, I'll go.
And then I'll graduate. After that, I'll walk out the main gate.
If you love me,
trust me and support me.
Well, welcome.
Thank you.
Want a tour?
That'd be great.
How long will the damn nightmares last?
The panic attacks?
The black fucking cloud hanging over my head.
Unfortunately, you can't run from it. Only through it.
Stay with it. Feel it all.
What about shock therapy?
Going back and facing it head-on?
It'd do more harm than good.
Right now you need to protect yourself. You need to stay away from all that.
Good afternoon.
Are you the academic director?
Yeah, that's right.
I'm from the School of Social Work. I'm a student there.
I'm here about the paid internship to run an app for the school.
All right. And your name is?
- I'm Omar. - Okay. Have a seat.
Okay, so what was the decision of the vote?
Both yours and the others.
That… Dídac can stay.
Roberta?
Yeah, same thing. He can stay.
I really hope we're making a smart decision here.
María, let me reiterate.
As academic director, I'll be looking after each student.
NIGHTLIFE VENUES
I will ensure their safety and well-being.
RAMOS VICO FAMILY
You have my word.
TRIPS TO MADRID
