On top of the usual bullshit to get a new passport,
I also had to prove that Bruno is my son.
I mean, what did they want? A paternity test?
At least you're here now.
Thank you for going through all that trouble, princess.
Wow, this house is wicked. I'm absolutely chuffed.
- Isn't it? - Yes, it's lovely.
It's beautiful!
Where's the portrait? The wall looks weird.
It seems that your grandma didn't have time to write her will,
but she did have time to commission another portrait.
Honey, you'll be in the spare bedroom, okay?
- Sure, hunky dory. - Go ahead.
Start unpacking.
By the way,
you were right.
We should go back to Madrid as soon as I tie up these loose ends.
Making the cabaret profitable enough to raise an outrageous amount of money?
Those are your loose ends, huh?
I'm going to tell you something, so please don't be offended.
Every time you get angry, your Adam's apple sticks out.
It's the truth, and it doesn't look nice.
[Roberta] Flowers and love are both fleeting.
Isn't that right, child?
And she just arrived, baby. That's where we're at.
Welcome home, mate.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
[both warbling]
You got here just in time. I need a lovely assistant.
Are you very attached to your fingers?
- Me? - Yeah.
You want me to be your assistant?
Yes.
Not bloody likely. I'd rather help out behind the scenes,
the stage isn't really my thing.
Why are you talking like that?
When you live in Spain, and everyone talks like this,
you pick it up, I can't help it.
You can help with my wardrobe.
Salo will help me sign up, but I still need to find my style.
Salo? Salo who? Your therapist?
Yeah, Salo, my therapist, your grandpa. Virginia's lover.
Crikey, I forgot about that.
Welcome home, Hugh Grant.
Someone's snarky today.
Did you bring all that in your carry-on?
Of course, if I left it in my luggage and it got lost, I would die. Come on.
You're not taking more than the recommended dose of hormones, are you?
No, why do you ask? Do I seem different to you or something?
Mm.
Paulina de la Mora...
No, María José.
- Now something else is sticking out. - Hold on.
What's wrong?
I don't know. I feel like everything's worse than before.
Didn't Diego return the money?
No, Diego bought the cabaret.
And it's like everyone forgot what he did to us.
It's like they have no memory.
But I remember,
I do.
It's like I'm the only one who can see the monster on the wing of the plane.
They make me feel like I'm crazy,
but I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy!
Right?
- No, you're not, honey. - That's right.
You're not crazy, honey.
There's something I need to show you.
This is very important, María José.
Take a look.
Mm?
I have Diego's voter ID and his birth certificate.
Paulina, we've been over this.
Turn the page.
Don't you see this is all an excuse not to move on with your life?
And our private life?
No. No, it's not my fault your HRT keeps you horny all the time!
MEXICO'S MOST TALENTED
Micaela! Bloody hell, Micaela, hurry up or we'll lose our spot.
Looking for someone?
She's in the loo, but we're next.
You talk really weird.
Eh...
Would you like to go first?
I would, but what if Micaela gets mad at you?
My name is Rosita.
Rosita means "pink." Like your shirt.
Yeah. Um...
I guess I should go ahead.
Sure, go ahead.
- We're back. - Wasn't she behind us?
Yeah, but you were in the loo, so I let her cut ahead.
All right, let's go in. Come on.
Yeah, let's go, let's go.
Are you going to make something to eat? Want me to make you a sandwich?
Yeah, a sandwich.
Dad, how do I apply for a loan?
Did you read the brochures? You're coming to the seminar, right?
No, I have debts to pay.
Jenny teaches us that money isn't what matters,
but rather finding purpose in one's life.
What if I don't have one?
Son, we all have a purpose.
Even a lost cause like you.
[sighs]
I'm glad you're finally starting to grow up.
No crust, right?
- Cut in triangles, no tomato. Please. - Triangles, okay.
- Jenny also teaches us... - Dad!
It's a cult.
Jenny teaches us that everyone should know
what their strengths are.
So, what are yours?
All right, who'd like to begin today's session?
- No one? - Me.
- [Celeste] You, Elena? - Yeah.
Thanks.
Um...
I recently met a guy who lied to me.
Honestly, I'm angry.
He said he was a father, but he never specified which kind.
A normal one, right?
I'd be fine if he was a father to one or two, but...
Sometimes people hear what they want to hear. Right?
Yeah.
I do that myself. How many kids does he have?
When a man starts a relationship, one assumes they're free to do so.
[laughing]
A relationship? Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself, honey?
Holy crap! That was harsh, Simon.
[Simon] No, no! How long have you known him?
The claws are out today, huh?
[Celeste] This is intense.
That's irrelevant.
What matters is that he lied.
Perhaps if you ask him,
he'll tell you that he was always clear about his intentions and background.
A lie of omission is still a lie.
[Julián] Marilu?
Hi, there.
Hi.
[chuckles]
Sorry, I didn't catch your name.
My name is... Pe... Pepedu.
I once had a client named Pepedu.
It's a nice name.
So, you want to be an escort? I see potential in you.
Thanks...
I booked a date through Papito.
But now I'm not so sure.
- How do you know who to trust? - Let me see.
[Marilu] Oh, no...
This guy hires newbies for "dinners" and leaves without paying.
But he looks trustworthy.
You'll learn, and quickly.
I'll tell you what.
One of our colleagues recently quit,
and I have his client list right here.
They're all tried and true.
Are you interested?
Yeah.
[whistling]
This is beautiful, Ernesto. So beautiful!
I sense so much life.
All the flowers that have lived in this house are still here.
- It's beautiful. - Like Virginia?
Sixty-four,
if you're really preparing for the Great Coming...
The Great Coming.
You have to let go.
Yes, the Great Coming!
You're too attached.
You must renounce everything that ties you to this earth.
Including this house.
But, Jenny... This house will go to my children.
All their memories with their mother are here.
Are you having doubts, 64?
Maybe I was wrong about you.
Please. Don't say that. Don't...
No. What can I do?
I don't know.
But I really don't know.
You could start by giving me the keys to this place.
The choice is yours.
Hello, Chiquis. Do you recognize my voice?
Claudio, I'm so relieved to hear your velvety voice.
I was worried this would be like a horror movie.
When I realized it was you, I considered canceling our date.
So?
[Gloria] Guillermo Ríos? Guillermo Ríos!
My name is Gloria del Río! Gloria del Río, sir!
Gloria del Río, got it?
No, no, no! I won't hold! I won't hold!
Um... Excuse me... Gloria, right?
- Yeah. - Have you seen Paulina around?
De la Mora or Rubio?
- De la Mora. - No, she's not here.
- All right, thanks. - Sure.
Um...
I'm sorry to intrude, but I overheard your conversation,
and it sounded like you're having some problems.
I've been trying to change my gym ID for days,
but I'm getting nowhere. It has my current picture,
but they say it has to have a man's name.
I see.
It's not fair, damn it. Why is it so hard for them?
It is, dear, it just is.
It's hard for us, for our families,
for our friends, but it seems it's harder for the gym guys.
It sucks, but that's how it is.
I'll find another gym.
No, what you have to do is change your official documents.
No, if my gym is being so difficult, a judge will be much worse.
I'll help you if you want.
Are you serious?
But dress appropriately.
I mean, please.
CIVIL REGISTRY OFFICE
[María José] This is going to be easier than you think.
[Gloria] Thank you for doing this. I'd been putting it off for a while.
We're here.
Are you ashamed to go in with me too?
Are you crazy?
This is a right that all of us have.
If it wasn't for us, what would become of us?
Are you sure? You seem...
I'm just tired.
I'm tired of the De la Mora family.
I'm tired of trying to help someone who doesn't want to get better.
She doesn't want to get better.
Paulina is stubborn. She got us all to come back.
- Exactly. - [laughs]
But she's stubborn when she feels something being taken away from her.
Then, she's stubborn.
But there are other things she takes for granted.
And if she isn't careful, she might lose them.
This is brilliant, bruv! I didn't know the competition would be so fierce.
I know you've rehearsed for a long time,
but you gotta stand out, bruv.
I think we should capitalize on your cuteness.
This "bruv" thing is confusing,
is it because we're like siblings
or because you're trying to fake that accent?
I'm going with my strongest card, the poor little orphan girl.
Everyone in the family's used it to their advantage.
Now it's my turn.
Blimey, that's rough.
But all right, I like it.
You work on that while I work on the cuteness angle, deal?
Deal, bruv.
I thought I was your nephew.
As I was saying, I'm worried about your son.
He had so much potential.
Mm. It's a shame what he's turned into.
I know, a seasoned criminal.
Yeah, although these days, immorality isn't prosecuted.
It would've been so easy for him to suppress those urges.
We tried to find a cure for him, but nothing worked.
Wait, what?
Homosexuality is not an illness.
Homophobia is, however.
That is not Diego's issue.
We'll have to ask you to leave.
I'm sorry to say this, but unfortunately for you two,
there's no cure for stupidity.
And, just to be clear,
your son is a thief.
A conniving bastard.
But that doesn't have anything to do with who he sleeps with.
[door opens]
Yes, yes.
Claudio, how are you? What's up?
Bruno!
- Do you happen to have... - What's up?
a bunny... costume?
[grunts]
That's brilliant, it is, mate.
Do you think it would fit Micaela?
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Pay me later.
Don't worry, I'll pay for it now.
One thing though. Do you mind if I pay with... change?
That's fine.
- All righty. - Excellent.
So, how have you been? Same old, same old?
- Yeah. - That's good to hear.
I'll get out of your hair, have a good one.
Do you think he noticed?
- Nah. - No?
- No. - It's your turn.
[gasps]
[both grunting]
Those lips, delicious!
[growls then laughs]
[groans]
Ay.
That was great.
I won't miss Rafael so much with you around.
So, why don't we order room service?
No, get dressed. I have to pick my son up from school.
- You have a son? - Mm-hm.
I have a daughter!
- How old is your son? - He's 28.
That's nice.
There's a bonus in there.
- To make sure we do this again. - Yeah.
[doorbell rings]
Ah. Come in.
Here you go.
It's what I owed you... well, almost.
I'll get you the rest next week.
It's not about money, Julián. I like our agreement.
So, everything stays the same.
Wait... Can I at least get my money back?
Do you want to punish me?
No, I just want my money.
I'm telling Diego everything!
[woman]] Dating is hard at my age.
Guys see us as ATMs. Besides, what kind of...?
Hi, there.
Thanks. Hi.
Sorry about our misunderstanding.
Sorry. I'm sorry for making a scene.
I have a problem, I know.
That's why I'm here.
But since joining the seminary, I've never had second thoughts,
until now.
[laughs]
Yes, I'll be your girlfriend!
What?
♪ I'll do it for you Because I believe you ♪
♪ Because in your gaze I see heaven itself ♪
♪ And when you kiss me ♪
♪ I feel you firing up my soul ♪
Thanks!
Thank you, I love you.
- Give it to me. - Yes.
That was Paulina Rubio.
And guess what?
I'm very happy today because, thanks to María José,
the best fucking lawyer,
today I've officially become Gloria del Río.
María José, come here.
[cheering]
Come on, just a few words. Come on.
- No, no, I mean it. - Come here.
- No, no. - Thank you so much.
Ah. Sometimes, uh, I forget why I decided to be a lawyer,
but today I remembered why, and it's all thanks to Gloria.
Let's celebrate, girls! This is a big day.
This round is on me.
Gloria is taken with the Spaniard, and that didn't work out so well for Malinche.
You're such a bitch.
[theme song playing]
MEXICO'S MOST TALENTED
[applause]
Bravo!
Way to go, Mica!
- Yeah, Mica, bravo! Bravo! - Great!
Great, really great.
Is she your little sister?
Eh, Mica? Yes... well, no. She's my aunt.
Her father is my grandpa.
Actually, he isn't my grandpa. He's my grandpa, you know?
It's complicated.
Well, I'll see you around...
Bruno?
How did she do that? She's incredible.
That was Magic Mic,
the orphan girl, amazing our audience at Mexico's Most Talented.
Congratulations, Micaela! See you in the next round.
I was just thinking...
I'm good at helping everyone but you. Have you noticed?
Are you saying it's wrong of me to try to get the flower shop back?
Is it wrong of me to honor my mother's memory?
At least the rest of your family
is doing their best to move on.
So, to each their own, right?
I just want everything to go back to how it was.
- Really? - Yes.
Do you want Julián to go back in the closet?
Or for Elena to be unhappy with her husband?
Oh, please.
For your dad to have a lover? For me to lose my boobs and grow a beard?
Listen to me, María José.
I have to ask you, please, not to tell me to do my best.
It's so cheesy.
THE RISE OF QUETZAL
[laughs]
Right on, Neto. Thirty Tupperware containers, and we'll be all set.
Cacas, Cacas, Cacas...
I don't know what to do with you.
I didn't bail you out just so you could go back to being a criminal.
This isn't illegal. Not unless you get caught.
I think joining the flock would do wonders for you.
I'll call in a favor to see if we can pay for your first-level seminar.
No way, man!
Give me the money instead of giving it to your pyramid scheme.
No, the flock isn't a pyramid scheme. It's a network of light.
Does your daughter know
how much you're spending on this... network of light and strength?
She doesn't need to know.
I'm old enough to decide how I spend my money.
Plus, after selling the cabaret...
I was right to invest in the flock.
Oh, Neto.
If you're not careful, they'll take the deed to this house.
Twenty-five years together. Congratulations!
"The acts of the flesh are obvious:
Immorality, impurity, debauchery." Galatians, 5:19.
Please.
Elena.
You've been studying the Bible.
This is wrong.
What if, against all odds, heaven and hell actually exist?
I agree.
Heaven and hell are real. This is a sin.
I hope we can still be friends.
I'd love that.
Although, we aren't hurting anyone, are we?
No. Only our souls.
- All done, thank you. - Thank you.
Here are your keys. I hope you're both happy here.
- Both? What do you mean? - Excuse me.
What's in this box?
- Surprise! - You startled me, asshole.
What are you doing here?
It's a long story.
I had to bribe the Realtor and everything. I'm sorry, Diego.
You're crazy, seriously.
This doesn't have to be difficult.
I love you, you love me.
I had sex with Oliver.
For almost a year.
He was sort of my sugar daddy,
but the truth is
Lucia kept asking me for money for Namibia,
and, I guess the deal worked while you were gone.
But you came back.
Aren't you going to say anything?
I suspected as much.
I did it out of necessity.
Sex is the only thing I'm good at.
You don't need to tell me, I know firsthand.
- I love you. - And I love you.
You do?
I want us to be together forever.
- In fact, you know what? - What?
There's something that belongs to you, and I'm getting it back.
Really?
Yes, I'll go get it now.
- Right now? - Yes, now.
Wait, I'll help...
I'll be right back.
Mom,
I know that deep down you'll be glad Diego has the ring.
He loves me for who I am.
It's really hard to find someone who loves you for exactly who you are.
I wish you had found someone like that.
But you had terrible taste in men.
Shit!
[phone rings]
[phone] Hi.
I knew it.
No, no, no! Damn it.
[Roberta] What if Virginia's last days weren't as sad as all of you thought?
