Holy Family (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript
A NETFLIX SERIES
Do you know what happens
if you put a frog in boiling water?
It's not going to die.
It will jump out in a heartbeat.
It's instinct.
But what if the water is cold?
The frog won't move
because it won't sense any danger.
But this can change in seconds.
Put it over a light flame
and the water will start to warm up.
At first, it won't notice anything.
It's only a difference of a few degrees.
But the temperature will rise.
It will rise and rise.
And in less time than you expect,
it will start to boil.
Do you think the frog will jump now?
No.
Because its cold, fleshy body
was warmed by the water.
And before it realizes it,
it will boil to death.
Because its instinct to flee
kicked in too late.
Because nature is not always wise.
Nature is also imperfect.
Are you sure?
I can't follow her anymore.
Much less if I'm not sure
what happened to Marcos.
I owe it to him.
Why don't you come with me?
I'm not leaving her alone. She's Mom.
She's not Mom anymore.
Remember the story
Santi would tell about the frog?
This is the same thing.
Edu.
Will you give it to her?
You owe me one too.
And where should I send it?
This is not the end.
Not for two people
who came into this world together.
Send it anywhere
because I will receive it.
Mariana.
I love you.
I love you too, Edu.
Take care.
You too, please.
HAPPY B-DAY
MAY GOD BLESS EVERY CORNER OF THIS HOUSE
Can I wear mask?
Oh, no.
No, honey. If you do,
no one can see that you're singing.
They must see you. And you must see us.
Which row are you in? It doesn't matter.
You get in the first one. My love.
Go draw something.
Mommy has to make herself look pretty.
What are you doing?
Would you kill me?
I would never kill you.
How could I kill
the most special guy I've ever met?
Stop underestimating me.
I'm not a fucking moron.
-Abel.
-How much did they pay you for me?
I met you because I wanted to help you.
That's why I wanted
to meet at the gas station.
Because I planned to tell you everything.
I was in deep shit when you showed up.
But for the first time in my life,
I felt so good, by your side.
I swear it felt like fate
had placed you there, for me.
But you've been
such a son of a bitch to me.
Germán… was anything that we had real?
And what's real?
What everyone says is real?
Are Abel and Germán real, Eduardo?
Your name isn't Germán either?
What the fuck is your name?
Do you know what's real right now?
That you're just in time to run away.
So don't leave any loose ends.
Kill me.
Please kill me.
-Yes, hello. Who is this?
-Edurne.
It's me.
I'll be there in a couple of hours.
Everything ready?
Did you hear me?
Yes, we're ready.
Everything is under control.
Gloria will be here any minute.
I mean, Julia.
I'll be at the Excellent hotel.
The room is in my name, okay?
We'll meet there.
Edurne, they're already dead.
And no one is going to miss them.
The lives of my grandson and my daughter
are in your hands. Is that clear?
So, if things get nasty,
simply consider it divine justice
and act accordingly, okay?
Edurne.
Yeah.
I hired you because
I know you're very good at your job.
So, if necessary, pull the trigger.
You locked me in.
Where's your sister?
This is from her.
You let her leave?
Come on, we have to go. Move.
Give me the gun.
-Give it to me!
-Get off, damn it!
I make the decisions now.
I've let Germán go.
Careful, Mom.
I'm all you have left.
He wants to take the baby away.
Mom, listen to me.
They're not taking anyone.
Caterina has no fucking clue,
and Germán won't betray me.
Pack whatever you need. I'll get the van.
Let's get the hell out of here.
Come on!
I was wrong about you.
But you are wrong about Germán.
And it's my fault.
Get ready or I'm taking Hugo with me.
You'll know what it's like
to feel fucking guilt.
It took you weeks to decide
that was the exact wallpaper you wanted.
It's just wallpaper.
Don't ruin it like that.
It's the perfect room.
No. It's not.
It will never be.
The most important thing is missing.
Pedro,
I no longer know what I want.
I do.
I want us to change the sofa.
It's okay to watch TV,
but it sucks to sleep on.
I prefer the bed.
Besides, you've always wanted
to have an office at home.
It's not fair to you to give up now.
-A year or two can go by fast.
-No, honey. We're done.
No more papers, no more interviews,
no more sleepless nights.
It's time to give up.
But you've always wanted a family.
And I have it. You are my family.
That's what you and I are.
Family.
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Hail, Mary, full of grace…
I'm so sorry.
He had a great future ahead of him.
Lorenzo!
Stop drawing and bring me the camera.
I want to take a picture of you.
What are you doing here?
I took a few days off.
This is how you welcome me?
You could have told me.
Although it's normal.
You hardly ever call.
It was a surprise, Blanca.
I didn't know I had to send word
to come to my own home.
This is what people do
when they don't live alone.
When were you going to tell me
about Lorenzo?
I had to find out from a mother
at school that the show was today.
Christmas is every year.
Don't have to be a genius to know that.
Could you talk to me respectfully, Blanca?
I haven't been home for a minute,
and you're already attacking me.
How was your flight, my love?
Much turbulence?
You're unbelievable.
You know?
All I wanted was to spend a few days,
just the three of us,
and give you some good news in person.
I've been promoted.
Congratulations.
So you can look down from above
on the wonderful world you've built.
Away from me and from Lorenzo.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Lorenzo, go pee.
I said go to the bathroom.
Daddy will come up to see you.
I don't have a job a thousand miles away.
I don't go to meetings,
nor do they make my bed in hotels.
Nor do I meet my colleagues
for dinner and talk bullshit.
I am here.
Here, 24 hours a day.
And I don't come here once in a while
to take my son to a shitty circus
and have sex.
I could have done what you did, Ramón.
But I preferred to try to be
a good mother and a good wife.
Do you know what I've done, Blanca?
I have worked my ass off.
And I've made sacrifices for you.
A lot, Blanca.
That's not my life.
That life is probably the one
you want for yourself.
You're not going to ruin this day for me.
Or the ones to come.
You know what? Let's just forget about it.
Don't leave your car outside.
They've been burning them lately.
Hello. Who is this?
Caterina.
You're a son of a bitch.
-Listen to me.
-I'm gonna kill you.
I'm gonna find you,
and I'm gonna kill you.
Gloria was holding me captive.
What?
Gloria knows.
And how the fuck did she find out?
No idea, but they want to escape.
I'm on my way to their house.
-See you there.
-Wait for me at the crossing.
To be honest, I should write two letters.
One for Julia and one for Gloria.
For Julia, I would only have loving words.
But this one is for you, Gloria.
You didn't choose your name randomly.
You thought you were going to reach glory.
Nothing about you was improvised.
But you forgot the most important detail.
To be a real mother.
Because giving birth
did not make you a mother.
Enjoy.
I'll wait for you here.
Keeping us out of sight to save yourself
hasn't made you a mother.
Denying us our desires
and dreams hasn't either.
Not even the hope that we will never
be separated from you.
The only thing
that makes a woman a true mother
is to give the best of her.
All the freedom and love
there is in the world.
That's what Julia did for me.
She gave me everything.
I was her light, and she was mine.
You're nothing but shadows.
Mariana?
Mariana!
I must talk to you!
-I don't know you. Let go of me.
-I know it's you.
No matter how much
you try to change, it's you.
Listen to me for a minute.
Where's Nico?
Give him back to me.
Give him back to me, please.
-Let go of me.
-Where is he?
See you later.
-Hi, Blanca!
-Hello, how are you?
Hi, Lorenzo! High-five.
-You'll do great, you'll see.
-Hi, Lorenzo.
-Bye.
-You look so cute.
Go and join your friends.
A little kiss to Mommy.
I love you.
He hasn't slept all night.
He is so excited.
This morning I saw Ramón's car
at the roundabout. Is he back?
Yes, he didn't want to miss it.
He's parking.
I'm going to find my seat.
I think this is it.
Yeah, this is it.
-Blanca.
-I'll see you later.
How is Lorenzo?
Happy and wearing
his first pair of grown-up shoes.
So, you can imagine.
Well, enjoy it.
It's going to be a very nice evening.
-How are you?
-Fine, and you?
Hi, Blanca. How are you?
-Long time no see.
-Hi. Long time, yes.
-Hello.
-Hi, Pedro.
-How are you doing?
-Alicia's not here.
Yeah, I know.
Hello, little mouse, how are you?
Do you mind keeping her?
-What?
-Do you mind keeping her?
The nanny couldn't make it.
And I wanna go
see the kids singing with Blanca…
Oh, sure.
I don't want to miss it, you know?
Poor Lorenzo.
Don't worry. Anyway, I was just
going to waste my time here today.
-If it is a problem--
-No, really. I'd be delighted.
-Okay.
-Come here, little thing.
-Thank you.
-Hello. What's up, little thing?
Well, if she gets hungry, here's a bottle.
You just warm it up.
-Okay.
-And that's it. Yes.
And if she starts to cry…
Yes?
She loves this one.
Oh, okay. All right.
Yeah? Do you like it? Shall we go inside?
Nice!
-Shall we?
-You're a good person.
Thanks.
Have you thought about fostering?
I know it's none of my business.
I'm talking about fostering, not adopting.
The children are not separated
from their families,
and between you and them,
they're taken care of.
Yeah.
Sorry, it's none of my business…
No, it's okay. Don't worry.
Well, goodbye, little bug.
You'll be fine here, enjoy yourself.
Enjoy it until your mom comes
to pick you up.
Sure.
I'm off. I'm already late.
-Say goodbye to Mommy.
-Thank you. See you later.
See you later, Mommy!
Shall we go inside?
Bye! Let's go.
Bye!
-Good afternoon.
-Good afternoon, sir.
I have a reservation.
Alberche, Fernando. One night only.
May I have your ID, please?
Thank you.
My love.
My love, I knew you would come back.
I didn't come to apologize.
And I'm not going anywhere.
Neither is Hugo.
Natalia is in Madrid.
What?
She's in the park.
Waiting to see her son.
Her son…
Did you bring Natalia?
Did you talk to her?
I asked if you talked to her!
Did you bring her to the park?
Did you come here to take the baby?
To give him to her?
Are you going to betray me?
I'm your mother!
No.
No, what?
My mother did not scare me.
And you weren't scared to go
into the water despite the red flag!
And we're all paying the consequences.
You think I don't feel your suffering?
Or your brother's suffering?
Or my suffering?
The only thing
we have left of Santi is that baby.
Santi is dead.
Santi is not dead.
Santi is dead.
He's dead!
Dead!
Hugo will never replace him.
Natalia feels the same pain as you do.
You've both had a loss.
But she can still get him back.
Wouldn't you do anything
to prevent us from suffering?
Love and freedom.
That's what being a good mother is, Mom.
There's been an accident.
Germán!
Please, send an ambulance.
Stop right there.
-Give me the baby.
-He's not your son!
I am your daughter! I am!
Mom, please!
I don't want to hurt you, my love.
-What are you doing?
-What did you do?
Go on, to the van. Run!
-You! Hey!
-Help me, please!
Come on. Go. Move.
-Nico!
-Walk, damn it!
Come on!
Nico.
Please…
Get a little closer.
-Come on. There.
-Hello, baby.
-Mariana, get closer.
-Are we good?
Come on. Say "whiskey."
Whiskey!
