[theme song ends]
[futuristic vehicles whirring]
In the distant future, society is divided into two classes.
On one side, humans…
and on the other, perfectly beautiful robots,
created to give them pleasure and serve them in their daily lives.
Stay a little longer with me.
Come on.
Please, Jairo.
[signing] Tonight we'll carry on where we left off.
[Andrea] Okay.
[doorbell rings]
[Andrea] In this artificial paradise, humans were becoming parasites…
delegating more and more tasks to robots.
Beings incapable of doing anything on their own.
[Rania] Four, stage.
Five, waiter.
Number eight, that mouth is a mess. Waiter.
Nineteen, waiter.
Thirty-seven. Onstage.
Congrats. I really missed dancing with my bro.
[Rania] The rest of you, in yesterday's positions.
Come on, time to sweat.
[club music plays]
You deserve it.
Seven.
Come here.
Tell me.
How big is your cock, Seven?
It's quite big, I bet.
Eight or nine inches.
Too much blood not reaching the brain.
Hmm. And thus, when I forbid you to go to Heaven,
what you understand is that you can take it for a walk on your own
behind my back.
Haven't you learned yet that I find out about everything?
You're not the only one who finds out about everything.
What are you talking about?
We found this in the hotel.
[camera shutter clicking]
It's full of your photos.
Put that thing away right now.
[Hugo] So Heaven tonight?
Right, Rania?
Hugo Beltrán.
-What's wrong? I haven't done anything. -[officer] Please come with us.
[Iván] Go.
You can't say no.
HEAVEN AND HELL
Where were you last night between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m.?
-At the club. -That late?
I know your shift ended at half past 1:00, after the first dance.
And you weren't in your boat all night.
I warned you when you messed up with the Irish.
Hotel Atlantis.
I was in room 319, Luisa.
Anyone who can corroborate this?
Just the lady I was with.
[Luisa] I don't think you're a criminal.
But it wouldn't be the first time you've acted on your own.
Someone broke into Triana's apartment last night.
-What did they take? -We don't know.
If you know anything--
It was the same person that tried to kill her.
They're looking for something.
Something that Triana has.
They're installing a motion sensor to alert me directly on my mobile phone
if anything is detected at night.
And the cameras will be recording 24 hours a day.
I'd feel better if someone could even stay with me.
I would be happy to do so, Mrs. Rojas.
All these precautions are great,
but they're not the solution to the problem.
They're only patches.
So what do you propose?
[Zapata] Macarena is a predator,
and predators are relentless when their prey shows weakness.
[Benigna] I'm too old to go to war,
especially now that Macarena has allied herself with that psychopath.
Ma'am, they broke into your house and left a headless corpse in your garden.
I know, Zapata, but I just can't do those things anymore.
You're the prey, then.
The sea bass is very good here.
Well, if you say that it's good, then I believe you.
I appreciate this new way of relating to each other.
I trust your recommendations,
and you trust mine.
What do you want, Macarena?
Respect. That's all.
You made a mistake humiliating me.
Wasn't taking my port enough?
You also got your lawyer to manipulate my son.
You made fun of me, taking me off the board.
You even took away my parents' house,
the place where I grew up.
Do you think I like living in a hotel?
Alone?
Know how I feel every morning?
When I wake up all by myself in a fucking suite
that has nothing, absolutely nothing, to remind me of who I am?
You don't know how to win, Benigna,
but you'll learn how to lose. Trust me.
How dare you talk to me about humiliations,
after leaving a corpse in my garden.
We're businesspeople, Macarena, not mafiosos.
[waiter] Know what you want?
Macarena,
what do you want?
You should think carefully about your peace offering.
[Spanish pop music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[Turk] When you're about to die…
you don't keep quiet for money.
[in Italian, echoing] You keep quiet for love.
[in English] What are you looking at?
Haven't you laughed enough, huh?
You give a little piece of your privacy, and three men use it to blackmail you.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to offend you.
Offend me?
My life is at stake, Iván.
If those photos come out, my brother's gonna do the same to me.
He killed David, huh?
I'm sorry, but I need to know.
Well, he cut his head off.
He cut it off and showed it to me,
and I just… [laughs]
I had to pretend I didn't care.
If he finds out we were together,
the next one will be mine.
But you're his sister.
[disbelieving laugh]
You don't know what he's capable of,
once he stops trusting you.
You have no idea what it's like
to live every day knowing there could be no tomorrow.
I won't let him touch you.
[disbelieving laugh]
Who do you think you are?
My white knight?
Are you gonna kill him with your bare hands?
You wouldn't last a single minute.
Want to do something for me?
Tonight, you come up to Heaven.
Just for me.
[grandiose music playing]
Heaven
is the place where wishes are fulfilled.
Our clients pay big money.
And tonight, you'll have the privilege of making them come true.
Whatever they are.
Humans were cruel
and treated robots like dogs.
But the robots did not question their own nature.
They were designed
to serve them.
And they weren't only content to be obedient.
They also competed to be their master's favorite dog.
[grandiose music continues]
[music swells, stops]
[Benigna] Can't sleep either?
I gave that up a long time ago, ma'am.
[Zapata grunts]
Macarena had no idea about the corpse.
She's not as close to the Turk as I initially thought.
At the end of the day, I'm not too old for one final war.
[Turk strumming guitar]
What are you doing?
It's never too late to learn something new.
I believe that music can go deeper than words.
But not as deep as knives.
That's right.
[strumming guitar]
The guy who left earlier with the police, Seven.
Tell me about him.
You have nothing to worry about.
I'm not concerned. Don't worry.
But I've seen that he's going to Heaven.
Not just anyone goes to Heaven.
[in Italian] You want to know about the guy who slept with Macarena?
Curiosity never killed anyone.
Fine.
His name's Hugo.
When he dances, women love him.
His strong arms,
his legs,
his chest…
[in English] …his beautiful face.
[in Italian] But to enjoy the best thing about him,
you have to be really close.
How close?
Close enough to look into his eyes.
There's nothing a woman likes more
than the tormented eyes of a handsome man.
[Rania chuckles]
[Rania in English] Busy.
[Turk] No, we're done. Come in.
Heaven can't wait.
What, you haven't eaten today?
[Macarena moans]
I'm feeling a little bit horny.
-Are you? -Mm-hmm.
And why's that? Who did you see?
It's more because of something I've heard.
The story of a man killing another with his bare hands.
[both laughing]
Well, I see you've already heard about the present I left for Benigna.
[Macarena] Mm-hmm.
-What I don't like so much-- -What don't you like?
That I heard it from her.
-You have to trust me. -Yes.
We really need to trust each other.
Everything's at stake.
Come.
Something I wanna show you.
[genteel piano music playing]
[Rania] Ladies, may I have your attention, please?
The auction is about to begin.
It's a five of hearts.
One thousand?
Anyone else?
Fifteen-hundred. More?
Congratulations.
Why did you bring me here?
This is what the One Per Cent is for.
Well, this is just the beginning.
And now, the three of clubs.
One thousand?
One-thousand-five-hundred?
Two thousand?
Two-thousand-five-hundred?
Three thousand?
I'm really glad it was you.
[speaks Russian]
I didn't understand a single word you said.
But I know exactly what you want.
[dancer, patron moaning]
You are right.
I don't believe in separating business from pleasure.
I want both from you.
And you from me.
You're with me because I can get your empire back for you.
But also because I know what you like.
Heaven exists for people like you and me.
It's the perfect union of business and pleasure.
[Turk] In these rooms,
the greatest perversions come true.
And in this one,
the best business opportunities.
Businesswomen, politicians, celebrities,
[woman grunts]
Information is power.
You wanted to know, right?
This is what I'm about.
And only you know about it.
[thud]
He was your hustler, right?
Well, now he's mine. And he's my gift for you.
[intense Spanish pop music playing]
[gasps]
[moaning]
[Macarena gasps]
[distorted audio]
[Andrea] Kowa, one of the humans,
felt he didn't fit in.
He was a disgrace to his race and also to his family.
So he was abandoned.
-[water bubbling] -[warped scream]
[door opens]
How are you? How did it go?
[signing] Fantastic. I love dancing.
[signing] What did you do?
What I did tonight?
Stop it.
Stop it, Jairo.
Stop it! Fucking hell!
[exhales heavily]
[Andrea] I don't understand what you see in me.
Why do you come back to me every night after dancing?
You could be with whoever you want.
You could have the best.
[signing] I have the best.
No, Jairo, because I'm good for nothing,
and it's only a matter of time before you too figure that out.
[emotional music playing]
[robotic beeping]
[Andrea] Kowa was lucky enough to be found by Miyuto,
a robot that wandered the world,
searching for the missing processor he needed to communicate.
Miyuto and Kowa belonged to two different worlds,
but they had one thing in common.
They were both broken.

Tell me you love me.
Tell me you'll always protect me.
I'll always protect you.
Now, please hold me.
Like David would.
[song stops]
[breathing heavily]
[Luisa] Hugo?
Luisa, listen.
Uh, I'm in Triana's apartment.
What were you thinking, sneaking into an investigation?
He was here, Luisa.
The same man who tried to kill Triana was here.
[Andrea] What are you doing?
[signing] They're really good.
No, they're trash. I drew them when in the clinic.
They're just the doodles of a sick child.
[signing] It's your talent. It came from here and here.
You really think they're good?
[mouthing] Of course.
I shoulda gone with you, man.
Together, we'd have caught him.
It wouldn't have mattered.
Those bastards are always two steps ahead of us.
I wonder how it's even possible.
Think they're watching us?
In this club,
I don't trust anyone.
Not the Turk, not his men, not even--
-[whispering] Certainly not that bitch. -Second shift, it's your turn.
Thirteen, waiter.
And you, 37, today you go to Heaven.
To Heaven with the goddesses, bro.
[dancers] Congratulations!
So, from waiter to Heaven in two days.
What did you give Mussolini?
Can't believe this shit.
[intense Spanish pop music playing]
[Hugo] Congrats on your promotion, man.
At least have the balls to admit it.
You told her I left with a client.
Hey, look me in the eye.
Look me in the eye, fucking rat. What else did you tell her?
[music stops abruptly]
[audience gasps]
[Hugo grunts]
-[dancer] Hey, stop! -[Hugo] What else did I tell you?
The fuck is wrong with you?
[dancer] Get him out!
[Rania] If it were up to me,
you both would be out on the fucking street right now.
But the customer is always right.
And tonight,
it's a freaking Dutch diplomat loaded up with cash.
She wants to see you in Heaven.
Both of us?
She has offered an obscene amount of money.
I suppose she wants to find out how you two make up in her king-size bed.
[footsteps receding]
[upbeat, pulsating club music plays]
-[singer 1] Let's go! -[singer 2] Whoo!
-[singer 1] Introducing… -[singer 2 speaking in Spanish]
[singer 2] So if you're not on the dance floor,
don't blame me if you get hurt.
[singer 2 rapping in Spanish]
[client] Shirt off.
On your knees.
Beat the Black guy up.
Like at the dance.
[ominous music plays]
[quietly] But much harder.
[Germán] Do it, man.
I need the dough.
[client laughing]
[client speaks Dutch]
What the fuck?
[yelling in Dutch]
[Germán] What are you doing, man? Are you crazy?
We're gonna get kicked out, bro. We're gonna get kicked out, man.
Nobody's gonna kick us out.
This racist bitch won't say a word.
She's a diplomat.
[speaking angrily in Dutch]
[door opens]
[yells]
[grunts]
[distant moaning]
No fucking way.
[knock at window]
The Turk wants to see you.
Come closer.
[Turk] We were waiting for you.
[Turk] Iván is a stripper.
His job is to raise the price of his female clients' drinks.
But this simple stripper has achieved
what none of you have been able to achieve in all this time.
The evidence of a betrayal.
I warn you that the images we're about to see
may end the sensibility of a certain person here.
Cash diverted from my accounts to an account in Dublin,
as well as calls to the Irish boss.
In short, proof that that traitor David
was doing very well behind my back.
And as I suspected from the start, he wasn't doing it alone.
Isn't that right, Mauro?
[Mauro grunts, struggles]
Vincenzo, turn it up to the max.
[loud club music playing]
You did very well, Iván.
Now, finish him off.
Come on.
[Mauro continues struggling]
[Turk] Come on, Iván.
Come on, Iván.
[music fades away]
Rania, Rania…
[in Italian] What am I going to do with you?
[in English] This guy is just another lucky hustler.
Don't traumatize him.
Clean this mess.
Very good, Iván.
Okay. We'll be in touch.
By the way, if you know any accountants, we have a vacancy.
We should have destroyed it.
My brother was looking for a traitor.
I had to give him one.
Only he'd never have believed that information coming from me.
It was the only way.
Right now I'm no longer a suspect,
and you've scored points with my brother.
Didn't turn out so bad.
No?
Tell that to your brother's accountant.
It's not worth it, Iván.
No one who works for the Turk is innocent.
[Andrea] At last, the big day came.
The day when Miyuto and Kowa, with their love,
proved to the rest of humanity
that it was they, the humans, who were really broken,
and they had forgotten the one thing that made them human.
And it wasn't sex or power or money.
It was their ability to love other people.
I know it sounds weird.
But I think it's commercial.
Of course, it would be a mix of shōnen-ai with mechas.
Of course, yes.
Of course.
I admit that when… Andrea told me
he was looking for funding to make a cartoon film,
I started to tremble.
Well, I'm still shaking a bit, to be honest. [chuckles]
I don't understand much about stories of Asians or Martians,
but I have always thought business had to be done with the head,
but also with the heart.
And it's clear that this project has both.
It speaks of hope in a ruthless world.
Of forgetting prejudices and daring to take risks.
I… propose that we do it.
[scattered applause]
[tender music playing]
[signing] How did it go?
[electronic beeping]
[signing] Are you sure?
I'm sure.
I told Mussolini about the client.
I wanted to believe that you deserved it.
The truth is…
I didn't feel any better.
I need you to understand something, Hugo.
I'd never do anything that would put you in danger,
or Triana.
I would never do that.
I know that, man.
I know that.
You bastard. Motherfucker, it still hurts.
-I swear. -You are weak.
[phone chimes]
IVÁN: THEY GOT THE GUY WHO ATTACKED YOU AT TRIANA'S HOUSE.
THEY'RE TAKING HIM TO THE PRECINCT.
Mr. Marín went to check his daughter's apartment's condition after the burglary,
and mistook you for an intruder.
Do you want to press charges?
[Mr. Marín] It was after the first burglary.
They told me they would kill Triana if I didn't give them what they wanted.
And what would that be?
A hard drive.
They couldn't find it,
and I know where my daughter keeps important things.
-[Zapata grunts] -[woman moans]
Hold still. Be quiet. You'll tear your throat out.
[woman struggling]
[Mr. Marín] I was given a time and place. I was told to put it in a trash can.
After dropping that package, did you walk back to the clinic?
Well, yeah.
I wanted to see Triana and tell her that I was safe.
Jesus. You're sure you weren't followed?
-[door hinge squeaks] -[woman struggling]
[woman yelling]
Triana.
Triana!
[Mr. Marín] Nurse!
Nurse!
Go ahead and shout, huh?
But I guess nobody will hear you.
[phone vibrating]
[Mr. Marín] Nurse! Wh-Where's my daughter?
[woman struggling]
But do it in Italian, if you don't mind.
I love the sound of it.
[woman panting]
