Holy Family (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

A NETFLIX SERIES

You take it for granted

that you have two legs,
two arms, two lungs,

and it will always be that way.

Because it's your body, they're yours.

But one morning in any given week,
in any given year,

you find yourself crawling,
trying to walk.

Your left hand trembles,

and you're struggling to breathe.

You are broken, and it's normal.

Because they've taken half.
The half that was never yours.



Now, if you can, go on living.

Dr. Flores, please go to neonatology…

MELILLA, SPAIN
JANUARY 1998

We need to keep trying.

I don't understand.
What do you need to accept reality?

Reality can be changed, Natalia.

You can't give up.
You're going to make it.

It's not gonna happen, Mom.

Her infantile uterus
would not withstand a pregnancy.

Never.

How is she doing?

She's sad.

Exhausted, of everything.

Of me.



-I don't wanna leave you and move away.
-You're not going anywhere.

Just before I had you,
my blood pressure went through the roof.

The doctor said
we may not survive the delivery.

Neither you nor me. But here we are.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

I love her and want her to be okay.

But I also want to have a child.

-I'm a selfish bastard.
-No, you're not selfish.

Yes, and I don't care. I want it all.

And you will have it all.

Do you want to be a father?

Yes.

I know a way.

But you and Natalia have to agree first.

Yes? Who is it?

It's Blanca.

Blanca, I'm busy.

Gloria, open the door, please.

I've been calling you,
and I need to talk to you.

Hi.

I don't know how to tell you
how sorry I am. I really am.

-I'm sorry.
-Don't worry.

I understand you're upset.

You know, anything could have happened.

Yes, I know,
and I haven't stopped thinking about it.

What matters is that Hugo is fine.

Let's talk about it another day, okay?

What happened to you?

Occupational hazard.
I have to clean the wound.

I can help you.

-It's okay.
-Gloria.

It's not the first time
Lorenzo has made me lose a friendship.

I don't want to go through that with you.

You and I will always be friends.

Always, Blanca.

-Forever.
-Thanks.

Instinct never fails.

Besides, the tests say
that Natalia is the mother.

Yes, but Julia has a scar,
and it's from a cesarean section.

Didn't you say it was fake?

Well, it's real. I've seen it.

We must get to the bottom of this.

I have a search warrant for the hospital
and Santiago's address in Melilla.

Don't worry about anything, okay?

The client will pay for your overtime.

What you want is a villa in a rich area

and a nurse to take care of you
when you're old.

And to handle the baby.

What I'm gonna do with this baby

is take her to suckle
from her mother's breast

because she has
a little bit of abstinence syndrome.

I'll be out for a night.

-I'll bring you a T-shirt.
-It's so pretty.

-Are you sad you're no longer a cop?
-Thanks.

Did you leave or were you fired?

I left. Goodbye, love.

Size small.

And bring me some fridge magnets too.

If you could hop on a plane right now,
where would you go?

To my house in Marbella,
but without my family, of course.

What about you?

Anywhere and nowhere.

That sounded like a movie quote,
but it doesn't make any sense.

You're such a jerk.

Will you tell me what's wrong?

Why did you call me almost in tears?

I miss my mother.

My family.

A lot.

I can't stay here anymore.

And why don't you return home?

-Tell me, why don't you return home?
-Because it's impossible!

There is no way back.

If you want a family, I'll give you mine.

But they'll make you cringe.

Kid.

Aren't you going to talk to me
on your birthday?

I'm sorry, I got distracted.

Yes, well, distract yourself with me.

Or am I not enough to distract you?

Let's do the following.

I'm going to make a phone call right now,

and when I get back,
let's have a decent breakfast, okay?

I'm going to order a cake,
and you're going to blow out the candles.

-No.
-Yes.

No, Dad, really. I'm not in the mood.

Yes. Make the effort.

God will reward you, kid.

-Dad.
-What?

I need some money.

As much as you want.

It is a large amount.

Whatever makes you happy, honey…

Whatever makes you happy.

I AM VERY PROUD OF MY FAMILY
AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE BUILT TOGETHER

What is it?

Where were you?

At the university.

Did you lock the door?

Yeah.

The window.
Move away from the window, please.

Sit down.
I have something important to tell you.

-We still need one passport.
-What?

-Whose passport?
-That doesn't matter.

What matters is that I have to get
the money for the passport,

so I will take action.

You said you had everything under control.

What's your plan?

From now on, there will only be one key.
Give me the key.

No university, no park, nothing, please.

I control the ins and outs.

That's how we'll get the passport?

I won't listen to you anymore.

Aitana. I can't take another risk
until I get the money.

What risk? The risk
of turning the page once and for all?

Losing your brother.

I was 200 meters from here.

The only mistake was yours.

So, what? Don't you ever make mistakes?

Mom, please.

What was this, huh?

Or don't you care?

This is this fucking baby's fault.

He won't change anything, Mom.

He's never gonna replace Santi.

Watch what you say.

Because if it's between forgetting him
and living, I prefer not to live.

Which passport is missing, Gloria?

It's mine, isn't it?
You plan to leave without me.

Have I ever left without you?
Or without him?

Ever? In my whole life?

What kind of family do you think we are?

No one leaves.

We either leave together or nothing.

Together.

Natalia Alberche did not give birth?

Not here.

Are you sure?

This is a private hospital.

-We're familiar with patients' records.
-What about another hospital?

I don't know, but her history shows
she was diagnosed with infantile uterus.

Infantile… uterus?

Hard to believe
it would have been successful.

Has Julia Santos been a patient here?

Julia Santos…

No, we're not aware of a patient
being admitted under that name.

May I?

It must be important
if you've come from Madrid.

-Nothing ever happens here.
-Don't be so sure.

I would like to go over
the records of that month.

Sure.

Myself.

Yes.

Thank you.

Dr. Plaza, please go
to the university examination room.

Relax. Everything is going very well.

Thank God.

The sac is fully implanted.

See? That's the heart right there.

That? Is it normal
for it to beat that fast?

You're so dumb. Yours beats even faster.

It's nature at work.

My family cannot know about this.

-I'll leave you alone.
-Thank you, Marta.

Thank you.

Wouldn't you rather
talk about this at home, honey?

Dr. Cobos is like family.

You don't have to worry about anything.

I thought you were over this.

Your father will never know.

My father is a Christian leader.

I know! That's why.

-I should've never agreed to it.
-It was the only way.

Parents have to make sacrifices
for their children, right?

Yeah.

Well, this is ours.

WE HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER

Do you know them?

Sure. In Spain,
they're involved in all major investments.

Nata, these are very influential people.

I'm not interested in them.

I'm interested in the pianist.

Andrés, this has to stay between us.
I beg you, please.

Sure. Is this last month's issue?

Yes, you can keep it if you want.

No need. I have it. Well, my wife does.

Nata, that's not necessary.
I'm only getting you phone numbers.

That should work.

…a special energy.

I have another six or so saved
with different religious motifs.

Yes, I am interested in them.

All of them?

No, I'll keep a couple
and see how it goes.

I can give you a fixed price for all.

No, I don't buy.

You give them to me on consignment.
We agree on a price, and I keep 30%.

It's usually 20.

I work with 30.

It's just for a short time.
I'll be back to pick her up soon.

No.

-No what?
-There's no deal.

No deal.

And how will you prevent it?

You know how?

I swear I'll call the police.

Right.

How are you gonna get them to believe you?

You're nothing but a junkie.

They'll separate you.

Forever.

I'm getting clean.

I mean it.
I'm getting clean for me and for her.

I'm getting clean.

Of course you're getting clean.

And I'm gonna help you.

When this is all over,

I'm gonna give you so much money,

you'll be able to feed
both you and her for a year.

Believe me.

Done.

Stay warm.

She has a cough.

Their fruit doesn't look very good.

We should go the produce store.

The store you told me about the other day…

Natalia.

-Do you remember?
-Yeah.

-These were your pajamas.
-Yeah.

Now I want you to keep them for--
What's the name?

Nico.

-Nico?
-Yes.

I'm sure it will look better on him.

-Do you like it?
-What?

The name.

-It's the name I considered for you.
-I know.

Hey, Mom, thanks.

There's no way
Natalia and I can repay you for all this.

About the other night, I'm sorry--

There's nothing a mother
won't do for her child.

Nothing.

Now you only need to teach me
how to be a good father.

Oh, my dear.
That you will learn all by yourself.

Do you think so?

Am I interrupting?

No, come on in.

Are you writing?

Yes.

Listen.

I have a plan.

A plan?

But I'm going to need your help.

Fuck. Is it for the passport?

Of course it is. We have to get
all the money that's needed.

Anything you need, Mom.

I've checked the November births,
and there's no trace at all.

Neither Natalia nor Julia.

So, either the hospital is lying
or they are lying.

Besides, I found a fake belly
at Santiago's house.

A belly?

I'm gonna stay here
and check with the gynecologists.

No. Stop stirring things up.

Didn't you want
to get to the bottom of it?

Yes.

But I already have
all the information we need.

I'll wait for you here.

Hey, Marcos.

There's a call for you from Argentina.

-It must be for Dad. Leave me alone.
-It's not.

This is the fourth time they call
asking about the pianist at the party.

Go on, answer it.

Hello.

Sorry for the late call.
Are you Adolfo Almonacid?

No, I'm his son, Marcos.
How can I help you?

Do you know a Mariana Santos?

The pianist who played
at your father's party.

That's not the girl's name.

Pardon me, and you are?

Natalia Alberche.
I am Mariana's sister-in-law.

I'm calling from Argentina.

I think you're mistaken,
because that's not her name.

Excuse me, what's her name, then?
I need to know. It's important.

I'm sorry, I'm busy.

Mariana Santos and her mother
faked their own death and my son's.

Mariana is a pianist and looks exactly
like the girl in the magazine.

I saw it. I'm not crazy, I swear.
It is very important--

I've asked for a security camera
to be installed.

But they say
it is a very expensive technology.

Still, it'll be more expensive
to repair the damage.

Lorenzo, what are you doing?

It's a lion.

I love it.

-Haven't you heard?
-What?

The school window has been smashed.
Some vandals did it.

We don't know that.

I don't think
it was some missionaries, right?

That's terrible.

I am heartbroken.

It was my favorite passage,
the Annunciation.

Well, I agree that it was
an act of vandalism, but…

To be honest, the stained-glass window
was not pretty at all, was it?

What are you talking about?

Gloria could make a much better one.

Who? Me?

Gloria, you must make
the new stained-glass window.

You're a great artist.

-Shut up. I'm getting emotional.
-Your coffee.

It would be great if you made the new one.

I can't make that decision right now,

but I can convince the board.

That stained-glass window
must be replaced.

Are you serious?

You want me to make it?
Knock it off, I'm too busy.

-What?
-Gloria, please.

Come on, Gloria. You have to leave
your footprint in the community.

I've had very bad experiences.

I would need to be paid in advance.
I don't trust anyone.

I don't see a problem with that.

It's a lot of money,
and it's not up to you.

You need the PTA's permission.

I said I can convince them.
The gaping hole can't remain there.

Blanca, we're rushing a bit, aren't we?

Look, Alicia is right.

I would have to make a proposal,
a budget, and I guess that then…

they vote on that.

Yes, they vote.

But I'm sure anything you come up with
will be beautiful.

Well, you have a point there.

-Have I convinced you?
-Well, yes, as usual.

How wonderful. I'm so excited.

Let's toast.

-Come on.
-Yes.

Don't you fancy a margarita?

No. Thank you.

I don't understand
why you didn't keep the baby.

How do we find this woman now?

I always find her.

What did Fernando tell you?

The client.

The client. What did the client tell you?

Well, his daughter
never told him about that.

These rich families, huh?

They pretend to be close,
but then they stab each other in the back.

Even if Natalia is the biological mother,

if Gloria gave birth to him,
it'll be difficult to get him back.

I know.

But the plan is slightly different.

What do you mean?

The client doesn't want
the police investigating this matter.

So…

We're gonna have to take care of it.

We'll take the baby away from her.

And we'll take care of Julia and the kids.

What do you mean by "take care"?

We will do whatever it takes.

He doesn't want to see them again.

And he's gonna pay us a ton of money.

A lot.

How much?

Ten million each.

No shit.

This is not what we'd agreed, Caterina.

What happened while I was in Melilla?
What did you find out?

Some stuff.

What matters is that the client
is gonna be here within a week

to take the baby.

-We have to act fast.
-No.

It's what's best for us as well.

You don't do these things fast.
You have to do them right.

No!

These jobs must be done quickly.

It's very different
from playing policeman.

Because I'm not a policeman,
I wanna do things right.

Oh, you wanna play the vigilante?

You're nothing but a pompous mercenary.

You can't get out of this so easily.

You're a little confused yourself.

Look, one problem solved.

My little cabbage.

I told you I always find her.

Here!

I'm going out. Give me the keys.

Mom, give me the keys.

Give me the damn keys!

Are you going to make me jump
over the wall like a thief?

I'm not going to make you jump
over the wall like a thief.

But I won't give you the keys.

You'll stay here because I say so.
And I'm your mother!

Hello.

Hello, it's Marcos. Can I speak to Aitana?

No, Aitana is busy at the moment.

But I'll tell her you came. Thank you.

It'll only take a minute.

Did you give our address to a stranger?

-I didn't tell him anything.
-Really?

I didn't tell him, Mom!

He's from the university.
I don't know. Give them to me.

Marcos, I'm coming.

-Hi.
-Hi.

What are you doing here?

I came to pick you up. Shall we go?

Yeah.

-Where are we going?
-I can't tell you.

GERMAN21: SORRY. THIS IS GOING NOWHERE

YOABEL: WHAT, WHERE ARE YOU?

GERMAN21: YOU AND I WILL NEVER BE TOGETHER

GERMAN21: IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

YOABEL: GERMÁN, PLEASE

I'm not doing so bad
that you had to come unannounced.

We all have our ups and downs.

Do you know a Mariana Santos?

A woman called me from Argentina.

She told me she was looking
for a Mariana Santos

and that you look just like her.

What?

Do you know her?

No.

Well, I know who she is.

How did she find you?

I have no idea.
She saw you in the magazine.

Which magazine?

Yes, in the photos of the party, I guess.

They were published in Hello!

What's wrong?

Marcos, that woman is crazy.

She used to work at my mother's house.

When she lost her baby, she became
obsessed that we were to blame.

She's stalked us before.

Jesus, why don't you call the police?

My mother felt pity for her.

She didn't want to complicate things.

Don't talk to her again, okay?

It's for the best.

I miss you so much, Mom.

And I miss you too, my love.

I just need you to forgive me.

There's nothing to forgive.

There's no one to blame.

I love you so much.

Me too.

Hello.

Did everything go well?

Really? And Mom?

How much does the baby weigh?
Okay, yes. I'm coming.

Nico's already here!

Get ready, let's go.
