INVESTOR MEETING
PARTNERS DINNER

[WOMAN] Hello, and welcome
to this week's episode of our show.

It is a great privilege
to welcome today's guest,

our most recent cover story,

and the architectural world's
biggest star,

Salvador Campodónico.

- A pleasure to have you here.
- Thanks for inviting me.

Most of us have watched your meteoric rise



establishing you as one
of Spain's premier architects.

Twenty-four hotels entirely remodeled
in only six months.

How did you manage such a feat?

A lot of organization
and very little sleep.

Can you tell us a bit
about your day-to-day routine?

[SALVADOR] I wake up every day
at 5:00 a.m. and work out.

Then at 6:00, I head into the office.

I love following a schedule.
You could say I'm a bit obsessive.

Tomorrow, I'll need to leave
at 5:55 instead of at 6:00.

[WOMAN] So is that one of the reasons
you're still single?

Yeah, you've got my number.

I've yet to find a woman who's willing
to put up with my work schedule.

[WOMAN] You've won countless prizes
for your gorgeous remodeling,

and you're also the heir
to a multimillion-dollar corporation



in the throes of a full-expansion.

And we've now heard a rumor that
you're heading up the construction

of a new Campodónico luxury hotel,

the first of its kind
to be built outside of Spain,

boasting an unprecedented seven-stars.

Is there any truth to this rumor?

[SALVADOR]
I would love to lead such a project,

but the decision isn't up to me.

What I can say is that
if I'm chosen for the project,

it'll be right up there
with the Seven Wonders.

Are you ready to conquer the world?

The sky is the limit.

Let's give him a round of applause.

[APPLAUDING]

CAMPODÓNICO HOTELS

Dad, thank you for trusting me with this.

That trust comes with a price tag.
Don't let me down, son.

"The keys are at
the bottom of the staircase."

[KEYS JINGLE]

[DOOR THUDS, LOCK JINGLES]

Hi, Dad.

Look, this is the exact spot
from the referral documents.

Of course, once you and the team get here,

it'll be much easier to discuss.

But I think this is the ideal spot
for us to build our wonder.

Over there you have
the Plaza de Armas de Cuzco.

And this here,
will be the entire site of the hotel.

I really hope you like it.

[SIGHS]

[WHISTLING]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

- [SONG ENDS]
- [APPLAUDING]

[SALVADOR] Thank you, everyone,
for coming.

I'm quite sure that as of today,

there'll be a before and after
in all our lives.

And, above all,

for Cuzco's tourism.

I wish us all success.

[ALL TOGETHER] Salud!

All right! Now let's dance!

- [APPLAUDING]
- [INDISTINCT CHEERING]

- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [ALL CHANTING]

Here!

[INDISTINCT CHEERING]

[ALL TOGETHER] Hey! Hey! Hey!

[WOMAN] That's right!

[ALL TOGETHER] Hey! Hey! Hey!

[CHEERING]

Are you my Tinder date?

- Come again?
- Are you my Tinder date.

Oh no, I don't use Tinder.
I just came down here to...

- Ah.
- Do you know the blonde who was singing?

[WOMAN] Of course,
as though she were my own daughter.

[ALL TOGETHER] Hey! Hey! Hey!

Ooh!

[GRUNTING]

Here.

What's this for?

The legend says that
when the woman is into the man,

she lets the "cucurucho" burn.

- The coo?
- The coocoo. The little paper.

Come on, light it!

Hmm. Hang on.

Mm.

This is better. Uh-huh.

But you'd better be very careful
because that's my niece, matador.

- Okay?
- Uh-huh.

Well, go on.

-Thank you
-Uh-huh. Yes, yes. Go on.

Move a little. Shake those hips, honey.

[BOTH GASP]

[CHUCKLES] Oh, yeah?

- [SALVADOR] I don't wanna burn you.
- [CHUCKLES]

I can't get burned if you can't light it.

Yes, yes, yes!

[SCREAMS]

[WOMAN] Bravo!

Aw, my lovelies! No, don't leave!

I'll miss you. You just got here.

If you ever want to spend some time
on the beach, you know where to find me.

Hey, careful what you ask for, sis,

- or I might even come with you.
- [CHUCKLES]

All right, friends!
I hope that tonight you are as generous

as you are liberal with your applause.

Because music will fill our souls,
but it won't fill our bellies.

So I'm asking you
to please fill up my hat.

Did you hear that?

- Money, one dollar. My friend, one dollar.
- [CHUCKLES]

Ah.

Ariana, come get the paints,

'cause tonight we're gonna be painting
beneath the moonlight.

- [ARIANA] I love you.
- [WOMAN] Come on! Show me your money!

Show, show, show me your money, gringo!

- [CHUCKLES]
- Come on!

Don't pretend you don't understand me.

Fill up my hat
with your cold, hard cash! [CHUCKLES]

[GASPS]

- [SCOFFS]
- I'm so sorry. Sorry about that.

[GASPS, CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES] I don't know
what happened. I didn't see you.

- I'm sorry!
- Uh, right.

Guess you don't know
what a coat like this is worth.

For real?

Probably more than it should.

Not really. It brings me good luck.
So, it's kinda priceless.

Well, it doesn't seem very lucky to me.

I'm sorry. I really didn't see you.

What do you need?
Can I get you something?

No. Well, yes.

I wanted to congratulate you
on your singing and dancing back there.

- I loved the cajón flamenco.
- Yeah, the cajón flamenco.

The cajón is an instrument from Peru.

But when your fellow countrymen arrived
and decided to settle here,

they saw it and claimed it as their own.
Along with lots of other things.

But no, it was born here.
In Ica, actually.

- Every day I learn something new.
- Mm.

So do you work here?

For now, yeah.

You're not staying here though, right?

'Cause I don't remember us having
a presidential suite.

- Mm.
- Mm.

No, I'm staying next door.

- I don't know if you...
- [WOMAN] Campodónico.

You seemed familiar, but now I know why.

You see, I thought
you were my Tinder date, but no.

- You're my Airbnb client. [CHUCKLES]
- [SALVADOR] Oh you're the owner.

Yes, I am Lichi Campos.
I'm the administrator here

and the local custodian of the sacred land
upon which we're treading.

How are you? Did you get what you need?
Is everything good with the house and key?

Yes, of course. I found the key,
but unfortunately, it broke.

I can go get it fixed tomorrow morning,
but I'll need a bed for this evening.

I would offer you mine,

but my bed springs
are a little bit worn out.

So, uh, they wouldn't last.

And so...
You'll take care of him won't you? Yeah?

Treat him like a perfect little prince

who paid a lot of money up-front
and in cash, won't you? A lot of money.

[CHUCKLES]

Very well. I'll leave you.
My Tinder date is here. [CHUCKLES]

- [SALVADOR] Lovely to meet you.
- It was a delight to meet you.

- Night, auntie.
- [LICHI] Bye.

Well, tomorrow I can bring this jacket
over to the laundromat.

We'll see if they can salvage it.

Oh no, don't worry.
I've got more jackets, or coats.

But, uh, what I really do need is a bed.

Would you like a single or shared room?

Uh, I guess it depends on
who's sharing it.

["FRANCISCA PIZARRO"
BY RENATA FLORES PLAYING]

- That... that's Quechua, right?
- Mm-hmm.

- [SALVADOR] You speak Quechua?
- [ARIANA] I wish I were more fluent.

- My friends are teaching me.
- [SALVADOR] What've you learned?

That in Quechua there isn't really a word
for "goodbye," for example.

Oh no. How do they say it then?
Or do they even say it?

They say, um, it's an expression.

They say "Tupanachiskama."

It means something along the lines of
"until we meet again."

Anyway, I'm just learning.

Tupanachiskama.
I love the way that sounds.

Yeah.

Yeah, so you...

- [EXHALES]
- ...you don't dance a lot, do you?

Mm, sometimes.

But you already made a fool of me,
so I'm good for now.

Isn't being a fool good? Huh?

I'm always making a fool out of myself.

And besides, you're looking too tense.
I think you need to relax a little.

- [SONG ENDS]
- [APPLAUDS]

Just so you know,
there's always someone at the front desk

starting at 6:00 in the morning.

- Thank you.
- Yeah. If you need anything.

- Mm-hmm.
- Well, I'll be there.

Okay? Great.

- Sleep well.
- Uh, what time do you finish work?

Uh, depends.

I usually make my own hours. [CHUCKLES]

Why?

Uh, in case you wanna grab a drink.

Handsome men don't do it for me.

[CHUCKLES]

They don't do it for me either.
What a coincidence.

[CHUCKLES]

You sure? Not even a little?

- Depends on how much I've had to drink.
- [CHUCKLES]

Wow, that just made things exciting.

Do you like pisco?

No. Well, I don't like to mix.
I already had a beer earlier.

What's happening?
You sound like you're 80.

And besides, you're in Cuzco now.

You've gotta learn to relax.

All right, then.

You gotta be gentle with me.
It's my first time.

Really?

I assumed you'd have
more experience than that.

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Well, anyway,

this hostel has
a little welcoming tradition, okay?

It's the willkommen shot.

- I see.
- Yeah?

- So it's three shots of pisco.
- Great.

- Are you ready?
- Yes.

[SCOFFS]

- Salud.
- Salud.

[BOTH CLEAR THROAT]

[CLEARS THROAT]

- [IN ENGLISH] Soroche?
- Soroche? No, no. I'm perfectly fine.

I run three miles every single day.

Oh, okay.

[CLEARS THROAT]

- So you good for round two?
- For sure.

Right. Of course, of course.

This is for you.

Don't underestimate the altitude now.

- Mm-hmm.
- You be careful.

[SALVADOR CLEARS THROAT]

[INHALES]

[EXHALES]

You traveling alone?

It's just me, myself, and I.

Mm.

So dare I ask if you're single?

Single with no commitments.

- [GASPS]
- You?

Single, seeking no commitment.

- Hmm.
- And you?

Either or.

Hmm. [EXHALES]

[CHUCKLES]

- So tell me, backpacker.
- Hmm?

You got any hidden talents,
other than singing,

dancing,

- playing the cajón. Peruvian cajón...
- Hmm.

...and face painting?

A few others.

- We on three?
- Mm-hmm.

Yes.

[GLASSES THUD]

[SALVADOR EXHALES]

Are you sure?

You're in Cuzco, man.

Do yourself a favor. Let go.

Salud.

- [GLASSES CLINK]
- Salud.

[EXHALES]

[INHALES]

[IN ENGLISH] No kissing on the first date.

[SUCKS TEETH]

[SALVADOR INHALES]

Right, but this wasn't really a date.

[REPORTER IN SPANISH]
Back to business news.

The share price
of Campodónico Corp. is still rising

after the company announced it would build
it's first seven-star hotel in Cuzco.

There are high expectations
for the powerful corporation's project,

especially because the architect is...

- Thank you, Lau. [CHUCKLES]
- [LAU] Thank you.

[LICHI] Good morning.

- Mm! Good morning, good morning!
- [CHUCKLES]

- Good morning, good morning!
- [CHUCKLES] Good morning!

Morning.

- Hi, good morning.
- Good morning.

[INHALES] I think it's been years
since I slept so late.

- Oh!
- You're welcome.

- [SALVADOR CHUCKLES]
- [LICHI GASPS]

So is there
a local hardware store around here?

Oh, did I loosen a few of your screws?

- [LICHI] Mm!
- One or two.

All right. Now, now, a little control.

Control yourselves, although, all of us,
and I mean all of us, heard you two.

- Yes, and we also heard you.
- Oh yeah?

- Yes, yes.
- Oh! [CHUCKLES]

A lady doesn't kiss and tell. Hmm?

- No, she doesn't.
- [GASPS] Please excuse me.

- I hope a gentlemen has no memory.
- [CHUCKLES]

Whatever do you mean?
What was your name again?

And you? [CHUCKLES]

Last call for laundry!
I'm leaving now, never to return.

- Hurry up! I'm going!
- Hey! Here you go.

- [ARIANA] Come on! Come on!
- Merci beaucoup, Ari!

- Muchas gracias! We'll pay you later.
- Thanks, Ari!

- [MAN] Can you iron that one well, please?
- [MAN 2] Give me a discount!

This-this is how you do laundry?

[WOMAN] Thanks, honey. I owe you one.

Here you go.

- I'll get it.
- Ha!

The laundromat
is next to the hardware store.

Uh, well, can I come with you?

Sure.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, how long you staying here for?

Minimum one year, maximum two.

Wow! Sabbatical?

No, no, the opposite.
I've come here to build a hotel.

Wait.

Here's the project.

A marvel of architecture
facing a wonder of the world.

What do you think?

Hmm.

[SALVADOR SIGHS]

And did you did this one too?

Yes, but that was just a remodel in 2017,

but the corporation
didn't approve that one.

Yeah, well, that makes sense.

What do you mean?

I... Well, I... [SIGHS]

You're saying you wanna put a chunk
of concrete and cement over here

on this pretty beach?

Do you know the Burj Al Arab in Dubai?

I do.

The hotel that was constructed
on a huge, fake, man-made island.

That's it.

Don't you think what architecture
can accomplish is amazing?

Totally impressive.

Just incredible. [CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

Tell me something, do you wanna build
an eyesore like that here in Cuzco?

This is going to be
unprecedented for tourists.

There's only one seven-star hotel
in the world.

And only one Machu Picchu.
Except you can't remodel that.

You don't think
we have enough hotels here in Cuzco?

Sure I do, but none of them
are like this one. [CHUCKLES]

Ah, okay! [GASPS]

Oh, so you're kind of a modern
Francisco Pizarro, are you?

You've come here to conquer us once again.

Huh? No, uh...

I'm sorry. Did I say something
that made you feel bad?

Did I say something that offended you?
Because I thought we were in sync.

No. I don't get offended
until someone shows me their true colors.

Just one more thing.

Are you interested in this house
and this property because you...

because you want to build here?

The land is ideal, and the views
are some of the best in the city.

The hostel isn't for sale.

You're not even the owner.
You said you're just passing through.

The land belongs to my aunt,

and I'm telling you that it's not for sale
and it will never be for sale.

Well... [INHALES]

...everything has it's price.

No.

You can't put a price tag on people.

At least not the people that I know.

[SIGHS]

Oh, and last night was a one-time thing.
It'll never happen again. So we're clear.

Understood.

[FOOTSTEPS LEAVING]

- [SALVADOR INHALES, EXHALES]
- [DOOR CLOSES]

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

- Will that be cash or debit?
- Thanks.

- I'll use the QR code.
- Oh, okay. [CHUCKLES]

Oh!

So give me all the gorgeous details
from last night.

- Ooh, oh, oh!
- No. There's nothing to tell.

Did you feel like Shakira and Piqué?

No. It's not funny, Lichi. For real.

Aw, honey, what's wrong?

I saw you sneak out of there at 3:00 a.m.,

and since then, I've been waiting
for the d... d... details.

Come on, tell me, honey! Oh!

[SIGHS]

I slept with the enemy.

Why? Was it really kinky?

Auntie! I told you, I'm not in the mood!

So? You think I'm squeamish or what?
You can tell me anything.

- What is it? Tell me!
- [SIGHS]

Oh, no.

Don't tell me he said something disgusting
because if he did, I'm gonna punch him.

I can't believe
I fell for his tricks like a loser.

At least it's a breakthrough.

Auntie, be serious!
It's not funny anymore.

That's it! Spill the beans!

Explain to me how anyone whose got a brain

could prefer a cement building
over this house.

This is our legacy.

The adobe, the stonework, everything!
Made by hand.

I mean, we're in Cuzco.
We're not in Dubai!

Cuzco is the beating heart
of traditions and mysticism.

Our legacy lives in this place.

Now we're supposed
to put cement everywhere

and install air condition
so people can sleep?

You lost me at "cement."
I don't mind a good air conditioner.

- But what are you really mad about, honey?
- The colonizers!

They're like bugs!
It'll be an infestation soon!

All due respect to insects,

I know how important they are.
But thatarrogant, self-absorbed, oafish...

I mean, yeah, yeah,
he's beautiful, but what is...

It's... Anyway, if I'd known that he came
just so that he could cover us in cement,

do you think I... [SIGHS]
I could've... Ugh! God!

Maybe I should get his blueprints
and shut him up...

[BLENDER WHIRRING]

Hey.

Yeah?

I'm telling you,
he's trying to buy the hostel

- and you don't seem to care.
- Huh?

I'm telling you...

Don't you get how important
this place is to me?

And to our family's lineage?

- Hey!
- Ah!

Ugh!

[CHUCKLES]

The guy really got to you, huh?

[SIGHS] Oh! So sorry!

I know you've been waiting for this juice,
but it's ready now. One second. [CHUCKLES]

Oh my goodness.

Yes, that's exactly it. It'll be three
or four million tourists every year.

Yeah, I've worked it out.

I'll send you the files
with the spreadsheets, all right? Thanks.

Yes?

Yeah, Purgatorio 420.

Uh-huh, I'm here.

So, let's see.

This area is where you did most
of the renovations and improvements,

and this whole area is still untouched.

Mm-hmm. Yes.

Aw, what have we here?

The little prince
couldn't handle his cold shower?

Oh, come on! With that boiler
we can all have hot water at the hostel.

Hmm?

Can I ask you about those blueprints?

Sure, it's a free country.

What are they for?

- I'm sorry?
- Those blueprints.

What is that? Why you being so bitchy?

Ah, this is what can happen
when you fuck the Airbnb guests.

I'm sorry I had to go there,
but good sex has it's consequences.

- What are they for?
- What was that?

The blueprints.

Sal, honey, tell her.

We'll, we're looking at the viability
of the land for construction.

[ARIANA SCOFFS]

- You're going ahead with the sale?
- If it were up to me, I'd give it away.

- Oh, how generous of you.
- [LICHI] Mm.

That's very sweet!

The two of you make
a really cute couple. So cute.

-Oh yeah? She thinks we're cute,
-[CHUCKLES]

- [ARIANA] Unbelievable.
- Mm. [KISSES]

[SALVADOR] What about this area
that isn't in the blueprints?

Who does that belong to?

- [GRUNTS]
- [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

Read 'em and weep.

- Oh! You decided to leave your room.
- What? A person can't take a nap anymore?

[LICHI] A nap?

You've been holed up
in your room since yesterday.

- [ARIANA SIGHS]
- Still in a bad mood?

Oh.

Uh, actually, in Spain
the siesta is no longer popular.

- Oh!
- [ARIANA] Naps are very important.

And you'd know that

if you weren't a robot
that only knows how to work, work, work.

Is she always like this?

- Sometimes she's worse.
- Mm. [CHUCKLES]

This kind of feels like I'm on vacation,
a vacation with the best home office ever.

- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Poor little you.

Poor little rich boy.

I don't wanna be near you guys.
I'm gonna eat alone in my room.

Now then, where were we?
I should just put these down.

You didn't play this.
You switched 'em. You're cheating.

- Come on.
- How could I cheat you?

- Lichi, I saw you.
- I didn't. Check them. I'll close my eyes.

- Well then, let me check.
- No, no, no!

- You play cachito better?
- Don't think so.

- Cachito, you've played it.
- You'll take advantage.

How could you not know cachito?
What do you do in Spain?

[MAN] Look. I found something.

[MAN 2] What?

Clean it off.

- Let's show it to the boss.
- [MAN 1] Got it.

[GENTLE GUITAR STRUMMING]

- Thank you.

[KNOCKING ON WALL]

I think it's yours.

you might want to see.

Can you explain to me why you're
the last thing I see before I go to bed

and the first thing I see when I wake up?

'Cause your dreams
are finally a reality?

You mean my nightmares.

I went to the front desk,
but no one was there.

Customer service will start
at 6:00 in the morning, sir.

Well, it's 6:13.
Would you like me to get you a watch?

I'd like a little information
about the tours.

Those tours are not for you.

- Oh no?
- No.

Why aren't they for me?

They're for people who can handle
cold showers and roughing it.

Ah, is that a requirement?

Bathing while on the tour?

I was thinking of Machu Picchu.
That's a must-see, right?

Yeah. Of course,
you'll need your selfie for Instagram.

Exactly.

How about the Salcantay tour?

Salcantay is a tour that takes five days.

An alternative to the Inca Trail.

Much too demanding for you.

One of my favorites.

And who's the guide?

Take a guess.

Well then, count me in.
Do we sign up over here?

- Can I help you with that?
- No.

Yes, no, not that.

- This, here. This as well.
- This? But what should I do with it?

- Put it there. Over there. Taking that.
- Where?

- This one too?
- Why do you have this?

Well, it's...

And this is what?

Oh, this is very important.
My beard trimmer.

- Oh, that's a no. Okay. Ready? Let's go.
- No, I'll get it.

- Hi there!
- [SALVADOR SIGHS]

Right.

Yanil León and Fernando Espósito?

Nandito. Please just call me "Nandito."

- I don't relate to "Fernando."
- Wasn't your group supposed to be six?

Yes. Except, what happened was that
none of us will be able to make it.

We're not feeling too well.

Yesterday, I saw the most ugly penis
I've seen in my whole life.

Okay. I get it, but you can't just
pull out and cancel at the last minute.

Yes, but let me tell you something.

What happened is that...

[INHALES]

What happened was...

See, what happened was...

The thing...

- I wanna say...

For example, yesterday...

[VOMITING]

[SIGHS]

[VOMITING]

[YANIL BREATHES HEAVILY]

- Something didn't sit well in our bellies.
- [SCOFFS]

[CHUCKLES] Thanks for helping me.

The next tour is in a month.
The minimum quota is five people.

To cover the expenses.

But I already set the days aside.

I canceled meetings
with my father, the company...

Life isn't always
about getting what you want.

Is that so?

I can pay for everyone else.

For all six people?

Seven, with me. Yeah.

- Right. Of course, daddy pays... [SCOFFS]
- Is "Daddy pays" my new nickname?

It's super cute
the way you sugarcoat things.

It's like saying a mini favor.

It's like the favor is sliced in two

making it seem like less
of a favor, you know?

Oh goodness. I thought the puke would be
a sure way to get rid of you.

No, I'm not that fickle.

I saw that beard trimmer.
You're super fickle.

[CHUCKLES]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[SALVADOR] Seven soles?

Look, I could use this to draw the hotel
I'm gonna build on your land. [CHUCKLES]

[WOMAN] This one
takes away negative energy.

Uh, give me three of that.
In fact, I'll take a whole truck full.

- Yeah.
- Sure.

To get that negative energy out
you might have to do it again.

You can't do it too many times.
Bad vibes here.

- All right, turn around.
- Now from behind. Turn around.

[INDISTINCT YELLING]

That! That! That one over there.
What is it called?

[ARIANA] Thank you!

Can I?

It's very helpful
for people with diabetes.

Uh, hey, since we're gonna be together
for the next five days,

- can I ask you something?
- Does that question count?

[SALVADOR CHUCKLES]

Why does it bother you so much
that I'm building a hotel?

Look! This city thrives off tourism.
It's a good thing for...

No, no, no!
This city doesn't thrive off of tourism.

It thrives because of it's culture
and sacred traditions.

And tourism is just a consequence.

You live in a hostel. Don't you think
that's a bit contradictory?

I'm pretty sure
I have every right in the world

to put up a fight against
the rich son of papa,

who wants to demolish my family's house
just to cover it all up with cement.

I don't think it's that hard
to understand why I dislike you so much.

[CHUCKLES]

Your aunt lives in the hostel,
in her ex husband's house.

She's happy at the hostel. Besides,
she'll be getting so much money.

Okay. Hang on. So you want me
to say I'm grateful to you?

Do you want me to thank you
because in two years

there's going to be
a huge building to wake up to?

Instead of beautiful views
of the mountains?

What does it matter?
You don't even live there.

It's unethical.

And besides, did you even ask the people
if they want a seven-star hotel here?

Who in this city,
wants a seven-star hotel here?

Explain it to me!

I can explain it, okay?

But just because we have different ideas
or different opinions

doesn't mean you can speak to me that way.

[SCOFFS]

Okay.

I guess I'll have to keep working
on my emotional maturity then.

[CHUCKLES]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Listen. How about this,

why don't we agree
to disagree on things right now,

and try to have a good time anyway?

I mean, look at where we are right now.
At the foot of this magnificent church,

We could take this opportunity to repent
and make a purpose of amendment. Hmm?

I don't believe in religions.

All right. Uh,

then what do you believe in,
Ms. Backpacker?

My mom had faith in the Virgin.

And you?

I just pray to my mom.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Here's our Uber.

- Uberto!
- [SUCKS TEETH]

- [UBERTO] Ariana!
- How you doing?

- [UBERTO] Arianacha!
- Get over here.

- My beautiful friend, how are you?
- I've missed you!

- Everything's good. Uh-huh.
- You good?

- Salvador Campodónico. How are you?
- Pleasure.

- Where we going today?
- Directly up to Salcantay.

- Into the wild mountains?
- You know it!

- This city boy's gonna have trouble!
- Nothing I don't deserve.

- You carrying any coca leaves?
- Yes.

Yeah, you know you have
to ask permission from the Apu.

- Don't worry, I will.
- So, we're not gonna be walking from here?

Of course we'll walk,
but we need to get to a higher point.

You really have no idea
where you're going, do you?

Well, it's really strange,
but I guess I'm starting to trust you,

Arianacha.

- Watch yourself.
- [CHUCKLES]

- [SALVADOR] How old is this car exactly?
- [UBERTO] I've had this baby since 1979.

[SALVADOR] '79?
You sure it's gonna get us there?

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[ARIANA] See? Over there.

[ARIANA SCOFFS]

[ARIANA CHUCKLES]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]

[ARIANA] Yeah.

[ARIANA SIGHS]

[ARIANA SIGHS]

- What?
- No, uh... [CHUCKLES]

May I ask why you have the word "enema"
tattooed on your neck? It's a bit odd.

It doesn't say, "Enema," it says "Elena."

- Ah!
- [CHUCKLES]

I met an artist in Colombia,

and she would only tattoo you
if your story made her cry.

And so, I told her mine, and...

I wanted to get my grandmother's name

because she was the first person
to encourage me to study art,

because she said it was the only thing
that machines could never replace.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

So the machine thing,
that's what you told her so she'd cry?

No. [CHUCKLES]

No, that wasn't the story.

You gonna tell me what it was?

No, I won't tell you the story.

I'm not in the mood to be comforted.

[SALVADOR SIGHS]

- [ARIANA CHUCKLES]
- Al right.

Would you mind taking
a photo of me? [CHUCKLES]

- It's super easy.
- [SCOFFS]

- [SIGHS]
- Put it in landscape, please.

Yeah. Open your arms up again.

- Like this?
- Uh-huh.

I'm taking in good energy.

- That's not... Super explorer!
- I'm like an explorer. Check it out!

Yeah, like this.

- [SCOFFS]
- [ROCK SPLASHES]

Oh! This photo's gonna get you
so many likes on Instagram.

Oh! Hang on! check it out!

Take one like this,
where I look like I'm thinking, you know?

- Yeah.
- I'm staring at this

thinking of everything.
How we're all connected.

[ARIANA CHUCKLES]

[SALVADOR] Huh? [CHUCKLES]

[ARIANA CONTINUES CHUCKLING]

Looks good, right?

- Want me to take one of you? An enema?
- Oh wow! What? [CHUCKLES]

[ARIANA] Ooh! Ah!

Not afraid of getting burned?

No.

I love fire.

It's my favorite element,
even though I'm a Libra.

What difference does that make?

Because Libra is an air sign.

Which means, I should be more airy,
more like the wind than fire.

Wind and fire is a dangerous combination.

You better believe it.

[EXHALES]

[EXHALES]

[ARIANA SIGHS]

[SALVADOR SIGHS]

What kind of star rating
would you give this hotel?

[SALVADOR EXHALES]

I don't think I've ever heard
this much silence.

- [EXHALES]
- Silence is beautiful.

[SALVADOR] Are we almost there?

[ARIANA] Ah! Stop asking questions
like the donkey in Shrek.

You've asked me
the same question ten times, you know?

You're absolutely sure
we're not lost, right?

Because my watch is saying
we've already walked 32 kilometers.

Yesterday, you said
we'd walk 16 kilometers today.

Sixteen from yesterday is 32. What's up?

I'm not really into mathematics.

That's weird,
since you're so good at music.

What's that got to do with it?

Mathematics is the system

that allows music
to last longer than an instant.

It is to music what a pulsar is
to the life in the stars.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Is that so?

My brain is never
not thinking about numbers.

From a young age,
I was obsessed with music,

and then it was mathematics.

Then in university, I loved architecture,

which led to investments,
banks, bonds, interest... [CHUCKLES]

You were on the right path,
then you took a wrong turn.

I was on the right path.

- But are we on the right path now?
- Come on!

Ariana!

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[ARIANA INHALES]

[ARIANA EXHALES]

Try to empty out your mind
and just concentrate on your breathing.

[ARIANA INHALES]

- Uh...
- [ARIANA EXHALES]

No, no. I don't really know how
to empty out my mind.

I've never meditated.

No, uh, it's impossible
for me to clear my mind.

I don't wanna bug you.
We should keep going.

Start up again, because this is telling me
it's gonna start raining here soon.

Please try it out.

Please?

- All right.
- Come on, come on.

- Sit like this.
- [SALVADOR SIGHS]

[ARIANA INHALES]

Better to sit up straight.

Okay, concentrate on your breathing now.

Inhale.

[INHALES]

- Exhale.

Okay.

Keep going. Inhale.

[SALVADOR INHALES]

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

[ARIANA] Clear your mind.

Feel the sound of the water.

Feel the wind on your face.

[CHUCKLES]

- I fell asleep!
- Yeah. I know. [CHUCKLES]

[SALVADOR CHUCKLES]

I never sleep during the day.

You see?

It's very important to try new things.

I'm so used to thinking about something
all the time, you know?

I never thought I was capable
of clearing my mind.

Yet at the same time,
your consciousness is open.

- [CHUCKLES]
- But now we better go. It'll be dark soon.

And I know that you, sir,
do not like to be late.

It's time to go for more.

[SIGHS]

"It's time to go for more."

[SALVADOR CHUCKLES, GRUNTS]

- Thanks.
- Sure.

[SALVADOR] In my day-to-day life,
I don't have time to think about nothing.

[ARIANA] You live
to put money in the bank.

I live to be able to have time for myself.

That's my luxury.

Yeah, yeah, of course.
Together, so we can capture this moment.

Yeah, we're on our honeymoon.

Handsome couple.

Thank you. So are you.

Thanks. See you later!

Have a great trip! Thanks!

[ARIANA IN ENGLISH] Thank you! Thank you!

Well, you're really turning out
to be full of surprises.

Yeah, well, you're not
the only one shrouded in mystery,

little miss prejudice.

Ha!

The altitude makes you think
you're funny, huh?

[CHUCKLES] What? What did they say?

They congratulated us on our marriage.

They said we make a beautiful couple.

- [CHUCKLES]
- No way. You're making that up.

No, I'm serious. I told them
we were on our honeymoon. [CHUCKLES]

- Honeymoon?
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

More like, ice-moon.

I do not understand
why people congratulate you

when they find out you got married.

See, I don't even understand
why we still do it.

- Because it's romantic?
- [ARIANA SCOFFS]

Love and romance are overrated.

It's like being imprisoned.
It's too possessive.

It's like being chained
to a bridge or something.

I know it's a terrible metaphor for love,

but I can't stop picturing rusty locks
just hanging on to an old bridge.

Right?

What in the world's
made you so tough, I wonder.

I'm not tough.

No.

I just don't believe in romantic love.

Same goes for marriage.

- [ARIANA SIGHS]
- [SALVADOR CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Doesn't hurt as much, and lasts forever.

I really didn't mean to do that.

[ARIANA SIGHS]

It was an accident. I'm sorry.

[ARIANA SIGHS]

Maybe you could look at it

as an opportunity
to finally get rid of your addiction.

My... my addiction?

Ariana, I've gone five days
without coverage.

[SCOFFS]

It's my work phone.

Yes, but you don't
have to be working right now.

It's an opportunity
to take time for yourself.

I am always working.

And my father wants me to stay connected,
and stay on top of the emails coming in,

all the calls from the company
and the board.

But you don't have
to stay connected all the time.

Connect more with yourself.
That's what you really need.

[SCOFFS]

Who are you connected to other than
yourself right now? Huh? Tell me.

It's really easy to say that, isn't it?

You run around the world
without plans, without ties, or bags.

Nothing affects you.
Tell me, who are you connected to?

Is it that hard for you
not to have a phone?

No, it's not the phone.
It's that you don't understand!

You criticize and criticize,
but what are you bringing to it? Huh?

But what does that accomplish?
Criticizing my wanting to leave a legacy.

You decide you're bored,
you pack a bag, and you leave.

That's a convenient way to live. [SCOFFS]

You wouldn't even last a week.

[SALVADOR SIGHS]

[SCOFFS] Oh Jesus.

You just can not keep your mouth shut.

No, you just had to open up
your goddamn mouth.

[SIGHS]

Salva.

So you still mad?

At least now you know that
we're not that different.

[ARIANA SUCKS TEETH]

I thought that maybe
we could take a detour.

To see if it could possibly put you
in a better mood.

Wanna see it?

[ARIANA] So are you feeling better?

Do you like the surprise?

[SALVADOR] I can't believe that
there are hot springs up here.

I hadn't noticed
the scar under your tattoo.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS]

I like what scars represent.

They hurt and then they heal over.

How did that happen?

An accident.

[SQUEALS]

[SIGHS] So you know where
you're going after Cuzco?

No.

- No?
- No.

How can you live without knowing
where you're gonna go next?

That's what I like most about traveling.
Being totally free.

Oh, aren't you afraid of doing it alone?

Ha. [SCOFFS]

- Would you ask a man the same question?
- Sure.

I'd ask a man.
I mean, I'm not afraid, but...

I'm not sure I could handle not knowing
where I'm gonna be all the time.

That's the beauty of it.

When there's no destination,
you're never late.

And you're never lost.

You're always exactly
where you need to be.

You prioritize the journey.

Like right now, for example.

Of course, we could've gone
to Machu Picchu on the train with heating,

drinking nice tea.

But we would've completely missed out
on this experience.

I wouldn't trade this trip for anything.

Mm.

We said that we wouldn't.

We can't.

What if we're exactly where
we're supposed to be right now?

But you know I'm still leaving.

And I don't want to complicate anything.

I don't see any red thread
around us. Do you?

Ugh! Told you I don't want
to be in a relationship

or in anything that even looks like one.

We have a good time together.

We like each other.

- Mm.
- Let's enjoy it. Just for now.

You really love
to play around with fire, don't you?

Promise I won't burn myself.

[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

No, I don't mean your final destination
like in many years from now, but...

where are you itching to go?

Your next destination.
What's on your bucket list?

[ARIANA CHUCKLES]

That would have to be

Puno.

I don't know Puno,
but I would love to go there.

I'd also really like
to spend some time on a beach.

And you know,

we have some
unbelievable beaches in the north.

- The sea would be great right now, huh?
- Oh yes. The sea heals everything.

Well.

Here we are.

Are you ready to meet the Peruvian wonder?

I thought I had already met her.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

[SALVADOR CHUCKLES]

[SALVADOR SIGHS]

It's official.
I've been conquered by Peru.

[ARIANA] We call that poetic justice.

Or karma, if you look at life
in a negative way.

What?

- That was an affectionate gesture.
- Oh, give me a break.

You're starting to worry me, Ariana María.

Now I wouldn't want you
to make things complicated.

You are so stupid.

I would never be with someone like you.

Hey, we agreed
you wouldn't fall in love with me.

but you did promise.

she's in a bad mood again. Ugh!

[SALVADOR SIGHS]

It's not that, Lichi. She's just not...

not feeling very well.

[CHUCKLES]

Something happen to Ari?

No, no.

Well...

[EXHALES] I'm not sure.

We were on a bus coming back here,
and it started to rain.

And the bus driver kind of lost control.

At one point, it seemed like
we were going to go off the road.

[INHALES]

Then we all got out, and...

and then she didn't want
to get back on again.

Hmm.

[SALVADOR SIGHS]

Does it maybe have something
to do with Elena's accident?

My mother didn't die in an accident.
My mother died of old age.

In her sleep.

Well, she talked a bit about an accident.

[INHALES]

Yes, my... my sister died that way.

Her mother.

And Ari's father too.

She was the only one who made it.

She was 13.

It's only 100 rooms less, Dad.

One hundred rooms at 400 euros a night

Is there anything we can do about this?

So do they have names?

Yes.

This is Porko, and this is Rosita.
They're dating. They're a thing.

- [CHUCKLES]

Thanks a lot, Lichi.

[LICHI CHUCKLES]

Well, maybe in the morning
I'll give you physiotherapy.

[SCOFFS] Why not today?

Oh, today there's a party for Uberto.

Ah, yes, he invited me too.

- No, he didn't.
- No. He didn't.

But, if you want me to come with you,
I would be happy to.

[INHALES]

- Pick me up around 4:00?
- Is this a date?

[ARIANA INHALES]

You're gonna be on time, right?

- I am.
- All right.

[INHALES]

[EXHALES]

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

Everything you see we planted with Uberto
when he was about 15 years old.

This is incredible.

You know so many magical places, huh?

Hmm? You haven't seen anything yet
Just wait.

Arianacha!

Oh Hey!

- Uberto!
- Arianacha!

How are you, beautiful?

Hello. My love!

- How are you? Salvador?
- Yes. How are you?

You remember each other?

- Mm, yes.
- Uberto, Salvador.

This is Urpi, she's like my little sister.

Great to meet you, Urpi.

- I have muña for the huatia.
- Thank you, my sweet. Thank you.

Welcome! Let's go!
Let's get ready for the huatia.

- What's a huatia?
- A meal we make in an underground oven.

Everything goes into the oven.

- [SALVADOR] Everything goes in at once?
- Yes, everything goes in at the same time.

And you'll get to try some
of the 3,000 varieties of potatoes we got.

- Three thousand kinds of potatoes?
- Yeah.

- Do you call them "potatoes" in Spain?
- Oh, sure. Yeah. You should see them.

[UBERTO] Here. Put them here.
Just like this on the side.

- [ARIANA] Hi, how are you?
- [SALVADOR] More wood here.

- [UBERTO] Hi, Donato.
- [DONATO] Nice to meet you.

[UBERTO] Come help me with this.

- [DONATO] Where'd the shovel go?
- Watch yourself.

- Here we are.
- [ARIANA] I have it.

[UBERTO] All right.
Work through the rocks.

- [SALVADOR] Yeah, a lot of stones. Yeah.
- [UBERTO] Yeah, right.

- You gotta try with your other hand.
- I'm sweating already.

[UBERTO] Watch yourself.

You've gotta put
your back into it. That's it.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

- Maybe the width is perfect?
- Oh no.

[CHUCKLING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[UBERTO] That's it. That's it.
Now it's good!

There ya go!

[SALVADOR] Just toss them.

- Yeah.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[UBERTO] Nice!

We're gonna have a real feast.

[FIDDLE PLAYING]

[BAND JOINS IN]

- See what I mean? You like the taste?
- You're right.

How is it? Good?

Ah, I've never seen her eat this stuff.

[CHUCKLING]

[GRUNTS]

[UBERTO] By the way, this one.

Try one. Come on.

- Try. Try.
- Is that it?

- You'll like it. Go on.
- Great. All right.

Salud!

[ALL TOGETHER] Salud!

[IN ENGLISH] You should let us hear it.

[CHUCKLES]

It's practically finished,

Practically finished, but...

Maybe I'll let you hear it
because you're like family.

[MUSIC CONTINUES IN THE DISTANCE]

But I can dance, you know?

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

You know I can dance, right?
I mean, I was looking at Uberto's friend...

Your dancing is beautiful.
You did really, really well.

- Wait, but are you proud of me?
- Mm-hmm.

I'm very proud of you.

I tried.

[ARIANA CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

All right, I'm gonna go to bed.

[ARIANA EXHALES]

- Hey.
- What?

Well, I thought I told you that
I don't kiss on the first date.

Yes, that's right. That's right.
I completely forgot.

The memory of a gentleman.

Forgive me.

Fine, I forgive you.

See you in the morning.

- Hope you sleep well.
- You too.

- Thanks for tonight.

[INHALES]

The Scream by Edvard Munch?

Yes, but this is my take on it

because the other scream
was really dramatic and sad,

and I prefer comedy. [CHUCKLES]

Did you know that this painting of his

was inspired by a mummy
that he saw from Paracas?

No, I did not.

- Well...
- Is that near Lima, by chance?

Yes, it's in Ica. Three hours from Lima.

The culture of Paracas
dates from before the Nazca.

You've heard of the Nazca Lines?

- I've heard.
- Yes.

I hope I get to see them.

Life will lead you to them. [CHUCKLES]

[SALVADOR CHUCKLES]

Hmm?

What?

You have something to ask me.

[SIGHS] Yes, I'm a witch.

I don't tell everyone I'm a witch because
they don't treat witches very well.

But I see you with my witchy eyes,
and you...

[CHUCKLES] ...you have something to ask me.

- Hmm?
- Well, it's...

I'm not selling the hostel.

[CHUCKLES] Lichi, it's only 400 meters.

It's... it's like less than half
of this garden.

Have you noticed that no one wants
to talk about the beauty of aging?

Well, I do.

And I want to die here.

And through my ashes,

I want to be reborn
as a happy tree in the sacred valley.

Now tell me,
what's more beautiful than that?

With this offer, you can buy
as many acres of the valley as you like

and come back as a forest.

Hmm.

I can see why Ari has
you under the microscope.

I hope she finds something honorable.

Hmm.

Oh, be careful with that, please.
Its little roots.

Auntie, no! I can't believe
you're eating Porko's cousin.

[SCOFFS] One piece

Hey, where are the brushes
that Salvador bought?

My workshop.

Mm-hmm.

[SIGHS]

So, you're gonna sell?

No. No, I'm not sure yet.

You don't know yet?

Am I stuttering?

You just heard me say,
"I'm not sure. I don't know yet."

No, I don't know yet.

You're having doubts.

I mean, Ariana!

They're offering me more money than
I ever could have imagined in this life.

Okay.

I suppose everyone ultimately
has their price. [SCOFFS]

Listen, I'm not
gonna sell them the hostel.

I'll sell them a part of the garden,

and then we can buy
a piece of land in the valley.

And we can finally have more animals.

- And turn the garden into a bigger...
- Okay.

I think the time has come
for us to part ways.

- Ari...
- No, it's already been eight months,

which is way longer than
I though I'd be here.

Why are you leaving?

Because I don't want to watch them
destroy my memories of this house.

Your memories will stay with you always.

- What are you running from?
- I'm not running! Who's running?

[SCOFFS] You say goodbye here,
you say goodbye there.

You pick up and leave anytime you like.

You say goodbye to people all the time.

Are you afraid of missing something nice?

You traveled for 20 years
before you came here.

- What did you miss out on?
- [SIGHS DEEPLY]

Don't be afraid
of putting down roots, Ari.

Only beautiful things will grow from you.

[SUCKS TEETH, SIGHS]

I don't believe in
what's going to grow here.

[SAD MUSIC PLAYING]

[SALVADOR] Ariana!

I don't wanna talk to you.

- Just wait.
- I don't wanna look at you.

- Please, just leave me alone...
- Wait a minute.

- I don't wanna talk to you...
- Hang on. Wait! What happened?

"What's happened?"

I don't like people who manipulate
and lie. And that's what's happened.

Don't touch me!

- Where are you going? Wait a minute.
- Leave me alone.

Ariana! Please, wait!

Ariana!

Salvador, what's going on here?

- Who is that crazy woman?
- What are you doing here, Dad?

- Yeah, happy to see you too.
- I'm serious. Why are you here.

Why am I here? I'm the solution
to the problems that you're having here.

I said I'd handle it, okay?

Yeah, but I'm here to do you a favor.

We have partners who... Hey! Here!

Listen, our partners would prefer
to invest in the marvels of Egypt

because the manpower is cheaper,
and If we don't find a solution right now,

I'm gonna lose my investment.

And you'll be relegated
to remodeling forever.

I'm here to make you
take things seriously, okay?

Come on. Let's go.

All right, give me the progress report.
What's up with that woman?

This house costs the same amount
as toilet paper in Spain does.

Offer them more money.

This isn't about money.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.

- [LICHI] I'm sorry.
- Lichi.

Forgive me.
I didn't want to interrupt you.

Madam, allow me to introduce myself.

I am Alberto Campodónico.
And I would like to speak with you.

No, I'm not gonna sell.

It's a good offer,
but we're willing to sweeten...

Please, Dad, this is not the time!

- Do you know where she went?
- No, I don't.

We are Spain's largest hotel chain...

Please, Dad.
She already said no. Leave her alone.

In the 35 years
I've been directing this corporation,

I have never taken "no" for an answer.

- Madam...
- [SIGHS]

...I would be willing to double
whatever my son has offered you.

But I'll need an answer from you,
and I'll need it now.

Sir, my answer is still no.

It's no. Understood?

I'm sorry, Salvador.

- I'm sorry.
- No.

Lichi, Lichi, wait.

Where the hell are you going?

Whose side are you on?

For the first time in my life,
I choose mine.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- You can't just treat people like that.

She said she wasn't interested.
Have some respect.

Who do you think you are
to talk to me like this?

I just want to do things the right way.

Because of that woman
who's having a tantrum?

Don't fuck with me, Salvador! You still
haven't learned to separate these things.

Business is business!

That isn't the point.

We are talking about
millions of dollars here...

You already have millions of dollars.

And there are other kinds
of business models.

Our corporation

won't be using any new models.

Well then, I quit the corporation.

Oh, so that's your solution?

I don't feel represented
by this corporation.

[SIGHS] Thanks for the opportunity.

You really don't know where

Some people don't want to be found.

She mentioned
the beaches up north and also Puno.

- She couldn't have gotten far.
- Yes, but she's taken all of her things.

Should I even be looking for her?
Will she even want to see me?

You know her better than anyone.

Well, life is full of surprises.

But you have to be willing
to let it surprise you.

So, is that a yes? Lichi, help me out!

Hmm. I've seen the two of you
very happy together,

and it's very rare to find that.

Some people never find each other.

Yes, and that's the most difficult thing
to do. Harder than any job.

- Right?
- Definitely.

So, what then?

If you want my opinion,
I'd say, uh, let's go with plan B.

- [CHUCKLES] Hmm.
- And what is plan B?

Plan B.

- What's plan B?
- Well, plan B is...

- It's plan B. B!
- What is plan B?

It's plan B! B, like existence.
Like, find your place. B!

So I should go, all right.
Where am I going?

Well, I mean, If you wanna go north,
you have to take a plane,

then you have to buy
a ticket and they're expensive.

She has no cash, so...

- Puno!
- She's always wanted to see Puno.

- Head to the station!
- Right!

I need one of you

A blue sea dragon has been spotted.

- What here?
- That's right. Here.

What is that?
Is it a kind of little fish or what?

No, it's a mollusc that's endemic to Peru.
It's very rare for it to appear here.

It usually produces in five bays.

And now it's here.
I'm begging you, pretty please.

As resident biologist
for the last four years at this hotel,

I've never taken a vacation.
I'm asking you, please, please.

- [CHUCKLES] It's okay. Go ahead.
- Thank you.

- Hey.
- All right. See you.

Okay, but why is it
so difficult to find here?

Because they tend to prefer to inhabit
the very frigid waters of the Pacific,

and it's very difficult
for them to lay eggs.

- The male is in charge of making the nest.
- Mm.

And then he performs
an elaborate ritual for the female

so that she enters the nest.

If she deems his ritual acceptable,

she enters,

she lays her eggs,

and then we never see her again.

She leaves.

Ah, so the dragon mama's crazy?

- That's it..
- Wow, there's so much to learn from fish.

- Are you ready to meet Memo, son?
- [BOY] I'm ready!

[MAN] Let's go find Memo!

You think I'm afraid of you? [CHUCKLES]

I've resigned from the corporation.

And my job.

That's the first thing. The second thing
is Lichi misses you very much,

Porko and Rosita have become parents
