What's up? What do you mean "who's this"?
This is your boss, brother.
Oh, stop apologizing,
and listen to what I'm going to say,
don't boot of the young kid
and the older woman, is that clear?
Oh, I know what I'm telling you,
Gabriel, but who's Gabriel here?
Who sets the rules here?
Oh, alright, very good,
I'm glad you're clear on that.
The point here is: do not boot them off,
because if they get booted off,
we'll get fired!
We'll all get fired, understand?
[Augusto] This is my way of saying
thanks for what you did for me.
[Marcela] No, no,
I don't like to do things like that,
I don't ever break the rules,
I just don't.
[Augusto] But I'm desperate,
I have to do it, come on.
- Are you sure?
- I'm very sure.
This is so immoral!
Just pretend.
Oh, this is getting good.
Enough of this vulgarity.
Hortensia! Why did you turn off the TV?
What happened? What happened? You pervert!
I'm going to make myself some tea!
[Hortensia] And you should
pour cold water down there
because I can see your excitement!
Oh.
[Augusto] The papaya is ripe.
Miss Marcela.
[Marcela] There you go again
with "Miss Marcela".
[Augusto] Yeah.
- Here.
[Marcela] What's this?
[Marcela moans]
[voice mailbox]
Please leave your message after the tone.
Manolo.
Are you watching the reality show?
I need you to call me
as soon as you hear this message.
We have to talk.
[Marcela laughs]
No, what's wrong with Mom?
Why is she doing this to us?
Shut up because Mom
hasn't done anything to us.
Come on, Sara, didn't you see all that?
You know that I saw it, Manolo,
I saw the exact same thing you did
and there's no proof that something
happened between Mom and that idiot.
- The door.
- Oh, my poor Dad.
I forget that I'm talking to
the producer of the reality show.
Listen, wake up,
[Manolo] what mom's doing is making us
look bad in front of the whole country.
And you can forget about school.
And I'm not going to have any friends.
[Sara] "Oh, I'm not going
to have any friends",
of course,
because that's all you care about.
Everyone's talking about Mom
about something they have no proof of,
and you're "oh, I'm not going
to have any friends”. Grow up!
"Grow up, grow up",
what about our old man?
Look at him.
No, if Mom wanted to cheat on Dad,
that's fine, I understand Sara,
but to do it in front of everyone
and coming off like a...
Like a what? Like a what?
I dare you to say it,
`cause I'll kick your butt.
That's enough,
you damn brats. Stop it already...
- Stay outta this!
- Stay outta this!
The same attitude as your Mom.
Excuse me.
Hey...
...how are you?
This is hard, this is very hard, I know!
But don't worry `cause you're not alone.
[groovy music starts playing]
It's going great, yeah!
We're going to win
the Nobel prize for media impact.
Not only because of our ratings,
but because we're a trending
in all of social media, look!
Here in the chats
people are killing themselves,
posting whether or not the older woman
has the right to consume fresh collagen.
And they want to form pro-M.I.L.F.
groups to support the young guys
who want to be in a relationship
with partners that are highly qualified.
[laughs]
What's wrong with you?
Are you stuck or what?
The only thing that
doesn't convince me is...
...the "papaya is ripe" line.
Well, it was the only part
that we could cut out
so that it was understood
that the kid is into the older woman.
Yeah, but it's just that phrase,
I mean, who says that when they crown.
Well, I don't know, it kinda makes sense,
the mature ripe fruit
with the challenge
of initiation to masculinity.
Yeah, yeah, fine, but it's very dumb,
it's so tacky, the phrase
is in very bad taste, of course...
...sometimes
those phrases hit it off, right?
They're impactful,
they're even used in song lyrics.
We could call a reggaeton artist
and tell him to make a song
- using that phrase...
- Oh no, no.
Don't you think they're doing it already?
Let's you and I stick to this,
to what we know...
...which is juice the relationship
between the older woman and the young kid.
That's it.
Guys, you need to gather up all the hoops
and take them with you
all the way to the handrail.
Then, you need
to hang each ring on each hook.
The contestant who manages
to pick up the hoops,
cross the handrail
and be first to get to their shield,
will be the winner.
Whoever arrives last,
will not only lose this challenge,
but they're automatically eliminated
from the game and must go back home.
Any questions?
Are you okay, Marce?
No, I don't know, I'm kinda...
...kinda nervous.
Calm down,
don't worry, you won't be eliminated.
No, no, it's not that, it's that...
...I'm always very connected to my home,
to my children, to my family and I...
I know something's going on,
I know it, I know it,
I have a sixth sense,
I have a premonition.
Relax, just concentrate.
Get those thoughts out of your head,
I know you can do it.
You are going to win.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
[contestants] Let's go, Marce, let's go!
That's it, go up, go up.
Jump, jump! That's it, good,
come on, come on, come on.
Jump now, jump now! Marce!
Jump, jump, jump! That's it, good!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Come on, come on! That's it.
Go up, go up. Jump, jump!
That's it, good, let's go,
let's go, let's go.
Come on, come on!
[Augusto] No, no!
[sad music starts playing]
Marcela has fallen,
that means that she's automatically
disqualified from the game,
and Team Fire must play
with one less member.
Well...
...that's how it goes, right?
Sometimes you win,
sometimes you lose.
And that's that.
[gloomy piano music starts playing]
[laughs]
- Can I ask you for a favor?
- Sure.
[Augusto] Can you give this
to my girlfriend? Well...
...to my ex.
I had no choice but to write her a letter,
as in the olden days, handwritten.
Oh, no, don't make me feel
older than I already am.
- But don't read it!
- No!
[both laugh]
Win this challenge.
Win it, believe in yourself.
If you don't win this, Augusto...
...I swear
that I won't speak to you ever again.
Oh! I don't know where I'll find
the strength, but I'm going to win.
- Good.
- I promise you.
Very good.
- Okay.
- Okay, well...
I'm leaving now. I'm leaving. Bye.
- Hello!
[Driver] Hello!
[grunt]
[grunt]
[gasp]
[huffs]
Well.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
[Ariel] What do you mean
she was eliminated, Gabriel?
Are you crazy, don't you realize
that woman's the one giving us ratings?
That woman can't be booted off!
I know, I was surprised too.
This really sucks!
What are we going to do now?
Well, answer me, what are we going to do?
I'm thinking
that perhaps we can let her go.
But, what did you say?
And then we can
come up a rule to have her return.
Well, alright,
but come up with it now, you hear?
She's the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Come up with something,
right now, you hear? Get moving!
[groovy music plays]
[Gustavo] Okay.
but the plumbing was giving me trouble,
it was making a weird sound,
so I had to call the plumber.
What's this van doing here?
[Marcela] Thank you!
Surprise! I'm home! How are you?
- We're horrified!
- We're appalled!
And why is that?
Do you really have to ask, Marcela?
Well, of course. Because of me?
Because I lost? Well,
yeah, I lost, but losing's...
not great but it's not so serious either.
Well, you've already lost everything.
Your reputation, your morals,
your ethics, your customs, your family!
Your aesthetics!
How so? I don't understand,
what are you talking about?
Let's go, Gustavo,
because I'm sure that this can rub off!
- It can rub off!
- What?
- Listen, the truth is that...
- And you too, come here.
And why are you leaving? Jonathan, mopper!
Come over here. Jonathan!
[tense music starts playing]
No, but again with the same story,
Roberto? I'll say it one more time!
I don't care what
they say and I'm not in denial!
I believe in Marcela
until proven otherwise.
Come on, hello,
earth calling Miguel, open your eyes.
She obviously cheated on you!
Well, I don't really care
what you say or what you think, brother.
What I think?
No, what an entire country thinks.
Everyone saw how your wife
came on to a young kid who could've...
Respect me! Respect me, Roberto!
Respect me,
I know perfectly well who Marcela is.
[Roberto] And I know
perfectly well who you are.
[Miguel] No, you think or want to think
you know who I am, Roberto,
but what you don't understand
or don't want to understand
is that I'm not the same person
you met twenty-five years ago.
Oh, give me a break!
You've never stopped being that person,
You don't have
to pretend you're all macho.
Come here, and just admit
that deep down inside...
...you love me, dammit.
[hit on door]
[‟Te Lastimé” playing]
Marcela...
[Miguel] Blondie!
Blondie! Blondie, wait, wait!
Blondie, please!
Look I can explain, Blondie, Blondie!
Blondie, Blondie!
Blondie, wait, don't run, please!
Let me explain! Blondie!
Blondie, Blondie! Blondie!
Blondie.
You have no shame!
Already tell your husband and your kids?
You're worthless!
Blondie!
That Augusto and I, what?
Don't act like you don't know.
Because we all saw on live TV
the love affair you had
with that stupid idiot!
Where are you getting that from?
Why do you believe those things?
Honestly, this has been horrible,
you can't even imagine,
everyone is talking about you two.
And me? I had to close
all my social media accounts,
because I couldn't stand so much bullying.
And my Dad, Mom, the poor guy.
He had to drag me all the way down here
because I didn't want
anyone to see my face.
Look, about your dad, I don't want you
to talk to me about him right now.
But why, Mom?
Why are you like this?
I know, I know that my dad
can be boring sometimes and...
...I know that he screams a lot,
but he's a good man, Mom.
If you wanted to leave him,
you just had to tell me,
it didn't matter if it was for a cute guy
twenty years younger than you,
- I would've supported you, but I just...
- No! No Sara, no.
Look at me!
You know me.
You know who I am,
I am your mother, and you know me.
I would never do
something like that to your dad,
much less on TV,
and with a young kid who can be my son!
Beyond what may happen in our lives,
between your father and me,
I love your father...
...and I know that he's a good man.
And I'm a good woman. You believe me?
You believe me? Huh, Sara?
You believe me?
When they told me you
were here I couldn't believe it.
But it's true.
[Clemencia] Many parents
have written letters
stating that they don't want a woman
of your moral qualities
- teaching their children.
- No, no, no!
There must be a mistake,
a misunderstanding,
because everything
they showed on that show
has nothing to do with reality,
that's been manipulated, because...
Marcela, my God!
A picture is worth a thousand words.
We trusted in you, but what you did
in that reality show has no excuse.
You're married,
you're a mother, a professor at school.
- But I haven't done anything!
- Are you justifying the unjustifiable?
No, that doesn't work here.
No! No, no, hold on, hold on, Clemencia...
you know me,
you know the kind of woman I am,
you know I am a righteous woman,
you've never received
a complaint about me,
you know that I would never.
I've done absolutely nothing.
Don't waste your breath on me.
Even if you convince me
the students' parents are outraged.
And demand your immediate
withdrawal from the institution.
Oh, but look who we have here,
the fitness cougar or the cradle robber?
What do you prefer, Marcela?
Such a pleasure to see you, Professor.
Too bad that I can't say the same thing.
What happened?
Did they already give you the news?
You're no longer with us.
Yeah, I've just been informed,
can you believe it?
Clemencia was very late
in making that decision, you know,
you're definitely
a very bad element, Marcela.
[groovy music starts playing]
It's like a more openminded concept.
Laura! Uh, uh, what are you doing here?
Oh, because I've called you
more than a thousand times...
and you haven't returned
a single one. I had to come.
That's because there's no signal here,
yeah, this is a bunker, Laura, look,
concrete, concrete,
concrete, so we don't get a signal. Right?
[girl students] Yeah, yeah.
[Manolo] Yeah.
Oh, Mom, I don't know why you let what
that Professor Olga Lucía says get to you,
when you know,
you know that woman breathes poison, Mom.
Well, I don't know why all of this
ended up so terribly, I don't understand.
I just wanted
to be an example for both of you.
I wanted you to see a mom who fights,
who works, who strives,
who knows how to achieve dreams,
who knows how to build a life.
I just don't get it.
That's all I wanted to do.
Mom.
[Sara] It's okay.
[groovy music continues playing]
We have to talk.
[panting]
No, Laura.
When our bodies speak,
we don't need words.
What's going on with you?
[sigh]
What are you talking about?
Well, I call you...
...and you never pick up,
and you don't call me back either.
I've also left you
like a thousand messages
and you don't answer back.
- So?
- So?
What do you mean "so"?
Did you fall out of love?
Oh, I've got a romantic one here.
Look, love is what I've got plenty of.
Just give me five minutes to recover,
- and I'll give you all my lovin'...
- I'm not talking about that kind of love.
What am I to you?
Just someone to have fun with?
No, Laura, just to have
fun like just to have fun, well...
[door knocking]
- Oh, the pizza! Thank God,
- Oh, God.
`cause the problem's about hunger!
Yeah, you were saved by the bell.
[sigh]
Look, you know what, Laura?
Why don't you run and get the pizza, okay?
It's not good to think
on an empty stomach.
Fine.
[groovy music starts playing]
[door knocking]
Coming!
[door knocking]
Coming, hold on, I'm coming!
- Hello.
- Marce!
- What are you doing here?
- They kicked me out of the reality show.
Do you think you could make me
some herbal tea? I just feel so awful.
Yes, yes, of course.
By the way, why are you wearing a robe?
Were you sleeping?
- Just in bed.
- With a cold?
More or less, let me change,
we'll go to the cafeteria and we'll talk
- about everything more calmly.
- No, no, come here, sit down,
I'll tell you quickly
because it's very important
and it's very intimate, really, Laura.
Plus, I don't want anyone to see me
`cause you already know
what the world thinks of me, right?
Yeah.
I was kicked out of the show.
What?
- I was kicked out of school.
- Oh, no!
And when I got home...
...I found out about Miguel's gay past.
No! Miguel's gay?
Oh, Marce, how could you not notice that?
- Are you sure?
- Alright, I'm really hungry now!
[groovy music starts playing]
Mommy, what are you doing here?
This is it, this is it.
Look, the trick to get the older woman
back in to the reality show,
is to put them all in a cave...
- ...doing a treasure hunt, with maps.
- A treasure?
- So, then we'll have skulls, and lights,
- What skulls, what treasure?
Are you twelve years old, Gabriel?
What's wrong with you?
- What treasure?
- This is how I wanted to see you!
This is how I wanted to see you!
Like this!
Because you, you ruined my life,
and I want to see
what you have to say now.
So then Marcela didn't say...
...where she was going?
No, she didn't say.
- I wonder where she is.
- I think that we should go look for her.
I have some friends in the police.
If you want, I can call and ask them.
No, no one is going to call the police,
or go look for her, or anything like that.
We'll just wait for her here
because she knows that this is her house
and that all of us here love her.
Drink some water.
[Ariel] Marcela, we...
...first of all, we want you to know
just how very important
you are to this network.
Breathe, because
you want to hear what he has to say.
And I want you to know that what both
of us did, was done for a good reason.
Yeah, I'm sure, to get ratings
on behalf of me and my family.
Oh, no, that's putting
everything in a simplistic way.
The thing is,
you're coming here with a problem...
...right? Well,
then we're going to give you a solution.
But what's
the solution for a broken family?
How do you rebuild
a reputation that has been destroyed?
- No, it's not like that.
- Alright, first of all...
if love dies, it wasn't true love,
and if you lose your friends,
- they weren't true friends.
- What's wrong with you, Gabriel?
Stop being heartless, we're talking
about Marcela's family, come on.
Doesn't it hurt you? Well, it hurts me!
But in a certain way,
well, he's somewhat right
and we have to be practical.
Right? I mean,
we can't cry over spilled milk.
You'll come back to the competition
and we're willing
to compensate you financially
for all this pain and heartbreak
this has caused you.
You guys are absolutely crazy.
Do you want to hear how much
we're willing to pay for your return?
- I eat and give ideas, that's all I do.
- No, you're only good for eating.
Hey, hey, hey!
What if she went back to the show?
Maybe she started to
miss her new friends, right?
- Well, it's a possibility.
- Don't be a jerk.
[Laura] Hello, Marce?
I need to talk to you.
It's urgent.
Yeah, of course.
Tell me where you want us to meet.
- Oh, so she finally showed up?
- Was that her calling? But where is she?
- Did she show up, did she show up?
- Did she show up? Was that her?
- Laura, don't leave us like this.
- She showed up, she showed up.
That's what she said. She showed up.
[Laura] I swear, Marce,
all I wanted was to do
what you asked me to do,
to take care of Manolo.
Don't you think it was an overreach
to sleep with him?
You didn't have
to take care of him so much!
But, it wasn't
something we planned, Marce,
we just got carried away
and when we fell in love, it was too late.
You have to understand, the same thing
happened to you with Augusto.
The same thing didn't happen to me
with Augusto because I never had anything
with Augusto,
how many times do I have to tell you?
I had nothing with Augusto.
Why doesn't anyone believe me?
Because the images say otherwise.
[TV narrator] They fought
shoulder to shoulder.
Skin to skin, and the passion
that was dormant inside her...
...has now reawakened.
They talk about me
as if I were a hundred years old,
The Return of the Mummy.
Can you believe that? No!
The only illegal thing there was that damn
phone Augusto used to call his girlfriend!
[Augusto] The papaya is ripe.
[TV narrator] And when it seemed
that nothing could tear them apart...
...they inevitably had to say goodbye.
What goodbye? What goodbye?
Why are they such liars?
Manipulators!
None of that happened!
Laura, I swear on my kids' lives
that none of that happened. Look,
the only thing I had with him
was a mother-son relationship, that's it!
Honey, I'm sorry, but those hugs
you gave each other, don't help at all.
That's because
everything's edited, manipulated,
because everything's decontextualized,
damn bastards!
You're going to have
to explain that to millions of viewers,
starting with your own family,
because, I mean...
[TV narrator] What will happen
to this forbidden romance?
Will the young man
reunite with his teacher...
...in the struggles of love?
The worst part's you've already
been kicked out of that reality show
that made you lose everything.
Yeah, that's right,
thanks for reminding me,
no, yeah, I'm absolutely happy, thank you.
So, what's next? Have a dog pee on me?
Well, I just can't believe how those
people from the network are so uncaring
after having destroyed your life!
Because they're miserable bastards!
- Miserable bastards!
- Yeah, that's what they are!
And you know what?
They offered me to come back,
to play the role
of the fitness cougar, the cradle robber.
- Such miserable bastards.
- Bastards,
and they said
they'd pay me three times the amount
they're going to pay the winner.
- Can you believe that?
- No, Marce, but that's not bad at all.
How is it not bad? It's very bad!
No, of course it isn't.
At least you get something out of it.
Oh, please,
don't rule out that option, Marce.
No, ma'am, I have values, dignity,
and I won't put the little life they left
in me in the hands of those people,
- no, ma'am!
- Oh, that dignity of yours.
Well, in that case, you'll have
to organize ideas and check priorities.
Well, my priorities are in check,
of course they are.
The first thing
I have to do is talk to Miguel!
I have to talk to him
because that's the most important thing!
Because he has a lot of explaining to do,
but I can't do it in the house,
`cause the kids are there
and this is very intimate
and we have to talk in private,
but he has a lot of explaining to do!
And you have
a lot of explaining to do as well.
- Me, why me?
- You have lots of explaining to do
because remember that in his eyes,
and in the eyes of 99.99 Colombians,
you cheated on him.
No, it wasn't like that!
- I know it wasn't!
- No! It wasn't like that!
In any case...
...do you think
I can stay here to sleep tonight?
Of course,
this is your house, there's my bed,
- sleep there and I'll sleep on the couch.
- Oh, no, thank you.
I can't sleep in your bed, no way.
Don't you see
you fornicated there with my son?
I'll sleep on the couch,
and do anything you want with your bed.
[upbeat music starts playing]
No, no, no, no, no, no!
Was it necessary
to humiliate me in of the entire country?
In front of everyone?
If you weren't satisfied with me,
you just need to say,
"Miguel", or "Mouse",
or whatever you want,
"do this" or "don't do that",
and I'd figure it out, okay?
To top it off, you got yourself
a snotty kid to be your lover?
I was never with a snotty kid,
because that young man was never my lover.
What do I have
to do to make it clear to you?
What about the images?
What about all those
disgusting things that came out on TV?
Well, it came out
of the producers' imagination,
- it's that simple! Yes, yes.
- Yeah, sure,
like if the producers
in this country were like that.
Yes, they're like that,
here and everywhere else.
They're twisted producers
who manipulated and insinuated everything!
Anyway, I don't
want to talk about that right now,
because I'm feeling very hurt.
How could you have such a past,
and I didn't know?
- Why hadn't you told me anything?
- Well, for the same reason,
because it's a past.
Oh! So, then you forgot, you just forgot.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, I kinda forgot, a part of it.
Well, figure out a way
to get him out of the house!
Figure out what we're going to do with our
relationship that's hanging by a thread,
because of you!
We're all going to have
to leave the house anyway.
But why?
- Well, because of this.
- What is that?
- Read it.
- No, what is that?
Let's see. It's the letter
that the administration sent
to our apartment saying to please leave
because our presence...
...affects the morality and the dignity
of the people who live in the building.
That's what they're saying, isn't it?
And why?
Because all that is based on what?
On all that crap
they saw on the reality show,
everything you did,
because it's unbelievable
that a woman your age
would get involved with a snotty kid.
Yeah, everything the country saw,
but what they don't know is that you have
your ex-lover living in the house!
Should I tell them? Should I tell that
to all of those gossipers?
Well, no one's kicking me out of my house.
The only way I'll leave is if I'm dead
and on my way to the cemetery!
Anyway, we're going to have
to leave the apartment.
Why?
Well, because...
...Blondie. Well, in a few words...
because we're broke.
[‟Amor y Deudas” playing]
---
What's up? What do you mean "who's this"?
This is your boss, brother.
Oh, stop apologizing,
and listen to what I'm going to say,
don't boot of the young kid
and the older woman, is that clear?
Oh, I know what I'm telling you,
Gabriel, but who's Gabriel here?
Who sets the rules here?
Oh, alright, very good,
I'm glad you're clear on that.
The point here is: do not boot them off,
because if they get booted off,
we'll get fired!
We'll all get fired, understand?
[Augusto] This is my way of saying
thanks for what you did for me.
[Marcela] No, no,
I don't like to do things like that,
I don't ever break the rules,
I just don't.
[Augusto] But I'm desperate,
I have to do it, come on.
- Are you sure?
- I'm very sure.
This is so immoral!
Just pretend.
Oh, this is getting good.
Enough of this vulgarity.
Hortensia! Why did you turn off the TV?
What happened? What happened? You pervert!
I'm going to make myself some tea!
[Hortensia] And you should
pour cold water down there
because I can see your excitement!
Oh.
[Augusto] The papaya is ripe.
Miss Marcela.
[Marcela] There you go again
with "Miss Marcela".
[Augusto] Yeah.
- Here.
[Marcela] What's this?
[Marcela moans]
[voice mailbox]
Please leave your message after the tone.
Manolo.
Are you watching the reality show?
I need you to call me
as soon as you hear this message.
We have to talk.
[Marcela laughs]
No, what's wrong with Mom?
Why is she doing this to us?
Shut up because Mom
hasn't done anything to us.
Come on, Sara, didn't you see all that?
You know that I saw it, Manolo,
I saw the exact same thing you did
and there's no proof that something
happened between Mom and that idiot.
- The door.
- Oh, my poor Dad.
I forget that I'm talking to
the producer of the reality show.
Listen, wake up,
[Manolo] what mom's doing is making us
look bad in front of the whole country.
And you can forget about school.
And I'm not going to have any friends.
[Sara] "Oh, I'm not going
to have any friends",
of course,
because that's all you care about.
Everyone's talking about Mom
about something they have no proof of,
and you're "oh, I'm not going
to have any friends”. Grow up!
"Grow up, grow up",
what about our old man?
Look at him.
No, if Mom wanted to cheat on Dad,
that's fine, I understand Sara,
but to do it in front of everyone
and coming off like a...
Like a what? Like a what?
I dare you to say it,
`cause I'll kick your butt.
That's enough,
you damn brats. Stop it already...
- Stay outta this!
- Stay outta this!
The same attitude as your Mom.
Excuse me.
Hey...
...how are you?
This is hard, this is very hard, I know!
But don't worry `cause you're not alone.
[groovy music starts playing]
It's going great, yeah!
We're going to win
the Nobel prize for media impact.
Not only because of our ratings,
but because we're a trending
in all of social media, look!
Here in the chats
people are killing themselves,
posting whether or not the older woman
has the right to consume fresh collagen.
And they want to form pro-M.I.L.F.
groups to support the young guys
who want to be in a relationship
with partners that are highly qualified.
[laughs]
What's wrong with you?
Are you stuck or what?
The only thing that
doesn't convince me is...
...the "papaya is ripe" line.
Well, it was the only part
that we could cut out
so that it was understood
that the kid is into the older woman.
Yeah, but it's just that phrase,
I mean, who says that when they crown.
Well, I don't know, it kinda makes sense,
the mature ripe fruit
with the challenge
of initiation to masculinity.
Yeah, yeah, fine, but it's very dumb,
it's so tacky, the phrase
is in very bad taste, of course...
...sometimes
those phrases hit it off, right?
They're impactful,
they're even used in song lyrics.
We could call a reggaeton artist
and tell him to make a song
- using that phrase...
- Oh no, no.
Don't you think they're doing it already?
Let's you and I stick to this,
to what we know...
...which is juice the relationship
between the older woman and the young kid.
That's it.
Guys, you need to gather up all the hoops
and take them with you
all the way to the handrail.
Then, you need
to hang each ring on each hook.
The contestant who manages
to pick up the hoops,
cross the handrail
and be first to get to their shield,
will be the winner.
Whoever arrives last,
will not only lose this challenge,
but they're automatically eliminated
from the game and must go back home.
Any questions?
Are you okay, Marce?
No, I don't know, I'm kinda...
...kinda nervous.
Calm down,
don't worry, you won't be eliminated.
No, no, it's not that, it's that...
...I'm always very connected to my home,
to my children, to my family and I...
I know something's going on,
I know it, I know it,
I have a sixth sense,
I have a premonition.
Relax, just concentrate.
Get those thoughts out of your head,
I know you can do it.
You are going to win.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
[contestants] Let's go, Marce, let's go!
That's it, go up, go up.
Jump, jump! That's it, good,
come on, come on, come on.
Jump now, jump now! Marce!
Jump, jump, jump! That's it, good!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Come on, come on! That's it.
Go up, go up. Jump, jump!
That's it, good, let's go,
let's go, let's go.
Come on, come on!
[Augusto] No, no!
[sad music starts playing]
Marcela has fallen,
that means that she's automatically
disqualified from the game,
and Team Fire must play
with one less member.
Well...
...that's how it goes, right?
Sometimes you win,
sometimes you lose.
And that's that.
[gloomy piano music starts playing]
[laughs]
- Can I ask you for a favor?
- Sure.
[Augusto] Can you give this
to my girlfriend? Well...
...to my ex.
I had no choice but to write her a letter,
as in the olden days, handwritten.
Oh, no, don't make me feel
older than I already am.
- But don't read it!
- No!
[both laugh]
Win this challenge.
Win it, believe in yourself.
If you don't win this, Augusto...
...I swear
that I won't speak to you ever again.
Oh! I don't know where I'll find
the strength, but I'm going to win.
- Good.
- I promise you.
Very good.
- Okay.
- Okay, well...
I'm leaving now. I'm leaving. Bye.
- Hello!
[Driver] Hello!
[grunt]
[grunt]
[gasp]
[huffs]
Well.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
[Ariel] What do you mean
she was eliminated, Gabriel?
Are you crazy, don't you realize
that woman's the one giving us ratings?
That woman can't be booted off!
I know, I was surprised too.
This really sucks!
What are we going to do now?
Well, answer me, what are we going to do?
I'm thinking
that perhaps we can let her go.
But, what did you say?
And then we can
come up a rule to have her return.
Well, alright,
but come up with it now, you hear?
She's the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Come up with something,
right now, you hear? Get moving!
[groovy music plays]
[Gustavo] Okay.
but the plumbing was giving me trouble,
it was making a weird sound,
so I had to call the plumber.
What's this van doing here?
[Marcela] Thank you!
Surprise! I'm home! How are you?
- We're horrified!
- We're appalled!
And why is that?
Do you really have to ask, Marcela?
Well, of course. Because of me?
Because I lost? Well,
yeah, I lost, but losing's...
not great but it's not so serious either.
Well, you've already lost everything.
Your reputation, your morals,
your ethics, your customs, your family!
Your aesthetics!
How so? I don't understand,
what are you talking about?
Let's go, Gustavo,
because I'm sure that this can rub off!
- It can rub off!
- What?
- Listen, the truth is that...
- And you too, come here.
And why are you leaving? Jonathan, mopper!
Come over here. Jonathan!
[tense music starts playing]
No, but again with the same story,
Roberto? I'll say it one more time!
I don't care what
they say and I'm not in denial!
I believe in Marcela
until proven otherwise.
Come on, hello,
earth calling Miguel, open your eyes.
She obviously cheated on you!
Well, I don't really care
what you say or what you think, brother.
What I think?
No, what an entire country thinks.
Everyone saw how your wife
came on to a young kid who could've...
Respect me! Respect me, Roberto!
Respect me,
I know perfectly well who Marcela is.
[Roberto] And I know
perfectly well who you are.
[Miguel] No, you think or want to think
you know who I am, Roberto,
but what you don't understand
or don't want to understand
is that I'm not the same person
you met twenty-five years ago.
Oh, give me a break!
You've never stopped being that person,
You don't have
to pretend you're all macho.
Come here, and just admit
that deep down inside...
...you love me, dammit.
[hit on door]
[‟Te Lastimé” playing]
Marcela...
[Miguel] Blondie!
Blondie! Blondie, wait, wait!
Blondie, please!
Look I can explain, Blondie, Blondie!
Blondie, Blondie!
Blondie, wait, don't run, please!
Let me explain! Blondie!
Blondie, Blondie! Blondie!
Blondie.
You have no shame!
Already tell your husband and your kids?
You're worthless!
Blondie!
That Augusto and I, what?
Don't act like you don't know.
Because we all saw on live TV
the love affair you had
with that stupid idiot!
Where are you getting that from?
Why do you believe those things?
Honestly, this has been horrible,
you can't even imagine,
everyone is talking about you two.
And me? I had to close
all my social media accounts,
because I couldn't stand so much bullying.
And my Dad, Mom, the poor guy.
He had to drag me all the way down here
because I didn't want
anyone to see my face.
Look, about your dad, I don't want you
to talk to me about him right now.
But why, Mom?
Why are you like this?
I know, I know that my dad
can be boring sometimes and...
...I know that he screams a lot,
but he's a good man, Mom.
If you wanted to leave him,
you just had to tell me,
it didn't matter if it was for a cute guy
twenty years younger than you,
- I would've supported you, but I just...
- No! No Sara, no.
Look at me!
You know me.
You know who I am,
I am your mother, and you know me.
I would never do
something like that to your dad,
much less on TV,
and with a young kid who can be my son!
Beyond what may happen in our lives,
between your father and me,
I love your father...
...and I know that he's a good man.
And I'm a good woman. You believe me?
You believe me? Huh, Sara?
You believe me?
When they told me you
were here I couldn't believe it.
But it's true.
[Clemencia] Many parents
have written letters
stating that they don't want a woman
of your moral qualities
- teaching their children.
- No, no, no!
There must be a mistake,
a misunderstanding,
because everything
they showed on that show
has nothing to do with reality,
that's been manipulated, because...
Marcela, my God!
A picture is worth a thousand words.
We trusted in you, but what you did
in that reality show has no excuse.
You're married,
you're a mother, a professor at school.
- But I haven't done anything!
- Are you justifying the unjustifiable?
No, that doesn't work here.
No! No, no, hold on, hold on, Clemencia...
you know me,
you know the kind of woman I am,
you know I am a righteous woman,
you've never received
a complaint about me,
you know that I would never.
I've done absolutely nothing.
Don't waste your breath on me.
Even if you convince me
the students' parents are outraged.
And demand your immediate
withdrawal from the institution.
Oh, but look who we have here,
the fitness cougar or the cradle robber?
What do you prefer, Marcela?
Such a pleasure to see you, Professor.
Too bad that I can't say the same thing.
What happened?
Did they already give you the news?
You're no longer with us.
Yeah, I've just been informed,
can you believe it?
Clemencia was very late
in making that decision, you know,
you're definitely
a very bad element, Marcela.
[groovy music starts playing]
It's like a more openminded concept.
Laura! Uh, uh, what are you doing here?
Oh, because I've called you
more than a thousand times...
and you haven't returned
a single one. I had to come.
That's because there's no signal here,
yeah, this is a bunker, Laura, look,
concrete, concrete,
concrete, so we don't get a signal. Right?
[girl students] Yeah, yeah.
[Manolo] Yeah.
Oh, Mom, I don't know why you let what
that Professor Olga Lucía says get to you,
when you know,
you know that woman breathes poison, Mom.
Well, I don't know why all of this
ended up so terribly, I don't understand.
I just wanted
to be an example for both of you.
I wanted you to see a mom who fights,
who works, who strives,
who knows how to achieve dreams,
who knows how to build a life.
I just don't get it.
That's all I wanted to do.
Mom.
[Sara] It's okay.
[groovy music continues playing]
We have to talk.
[panting]
No, Laura.
When our bodies speak,
we don't need words.
What's going on with you?
[sigh]
What are you talking about?
Well, I call you...
...and you never pick up,
and you don't call me back either.
I've also left you
like a thousand messages
and you don't answer back.
- So?
- So?
What do you mean "so"?
Did you fall out of love?
Oh, I've got a romantic one here.
Look, love is what I've got plenty of.
Just give me five minutes to recover,
- and I'll give you all my lovin'...
- I'm not talking about that kind of love.
What am I to you?
Just someone to have fun with?
No, Laura, just to have
fun like just to have fun, well...
[door knocking]
- Oh, the pizza! Thank God,
- Oh, God.
`cause the problem's about hunger!
Yeah, you were saved by the bell.
[sigh]
Look, you know what, Laura?
Why don't you run and get the pizza, okay?
It's not good to think
on an empty stomach.
Fine.
[groovy music starts playing]
[door knocking]
Coming!
[door knocking]
Coming, hold on, I'm coming!
- Hello.
- Marce!
- What are you doing here?
- They kicked me out of the reality show.
Do you think you could make me
some herbal tea? I just feel so awful.
Yes, yes, of course.
By the way, why are you wearing a robe?
Were you sleeping?
- Just in bed.
- With a cold?
More or less, let me change,
we'll go to the cafeteria and we'll talk
- about everything more calmly.
- No, no, come here, sit down,
I'll tell you quickly
because it's very important
and it's very intimate, really, Laura.
Plus, I don't want anyone to see me
`cause you already know
what the world thinks of me, right?
Yeah.
I was kicked out of the show.
What?
- I was kicked out of school.
- Oh, no!
And when I got home...
...I found out about Miguel's gay past.
No! Miguel's gay?
Oh, Marce, how could you not notice that?
- Are you sure?
- Alright, I'm really hungry now!
[groovy music starts playing]
Mommy, what are you doing here?
This is it, this is it.
Look, the trick to get the older woman
back in to the reality show,
is to put them all in a cave...
- ...doing a treasure hunt, with maps.
- A treasure?
- So, then we'll have skulls, and lights,
- What skulls, what treasure?
Are you twelve years old, Gabriel?
What's wrong with you?
- What treasure?
- This is how I wanted to see you!
This is how I wanted to see you!
Like this!
Because you, you ruined my life,
and I want to see
what you have to say now.
So then Marcela didn't say...
...where she was going?
No, she didn't say.
- I wonder where she is.
- I think that we should go look for her.
I have some friends in the police.
If you want, I can call and ask them.
No, no one is going to call the police,
or go look for her, or anything like that.
We'll just wait for her here
because she knows that this is her house
and that all of us here love her.
Drink some water.
[Ariel] Marcela, we...
...first of all, we want you to know
just how very important
you are to this network.
Breathe, because
you want to hear what he has to say.
And I want you to know that what both
of us did, was done for a good reason.
Yeah, I'm sure, to get ratings
on behalf of me and my family.
Oh, no, that's putting
everything in a simplistic way.
The thing is,
you're coming here with a problem...
...right? Well,
then we're going to give you a solution.
But what's
the solution for a broken family?
How do you rebuild
a reputation that has been destroyed?
- No, it's not like that.
- Alright, first of all...
if love dies, it wasn't true love,
and if you lose your friends,
- they weren't true friends.
- What's wrong with you, Gabriel?
Stop being heartless, we're talking
about Marcela's family, come on.
Doesn't it hurt you? Well, it hurts me!
But in a certain way,
well, he's somewhat right
and we have to be practical.
Right? I mean,
we can't cry over spilled milk.
You'll come back to the competition
and we're willing
to compensate you financially
for all this pain and heartbreak
this has caused you.
You guys are absolutely crazy.
Do you want to hear how much
we're willing to pay for your return?
- I eat and give ideas, that's all I do.
- No, you're only good for eating.
Hey, hey, hey!
What if she went back to the show?
Maybe she started to
miss her new friends, right?
- Well, it's a possibility.
- Don't be a jerk.
[Laura] Hello, Marce?
I need to talk to you.
It's urgent.
Yeah, of course.
Tell me where you want us to meet.
- Oh, so she finally showed up?
- Was that her calling? But where is she?
- Did she show up, did she show up?
- Did she show up? Was that her?
- Laura, don't leave us like this.
- She showed up, she showed up.
That's what she said. She showed up.
[Laura] I swear, Marce,
all I wanted was to do
what you asked me to do,
to take care of Manolo.
Don't you think it was an overreach
to sleep with him?
You didn't have
to take care of him so much!
But, it wasn't
something we planned, Marce,
we just got carried away
and when we fell in love, it was too late.
You have to understand, the same thing
happened to you with Augusto.
The same thing didn't happen to me
with Augusto because I never had anything
with Augusto,
how many times do I have to tell you?
I had nothing with Augusto.
Why doesn't anyone believe me?
Because the images say otherwise.
[TV narrator] They fought
shoulder to shoulder.
Skin to skin, and the passion
that was dormant inside her...
...has now reawakened.
They talk about me
as if I were a hundred years old,
The Return of the Mummy.
Can you believe that? No!
The only illegal thing there was that damn
phone Augusto used to call his girlfriend!
[Augusto] The papaya is ripe.
[TV narrator] And when it seemed
that nothing could tear them apart...
...they inevitably had to say goodbye.
What goodbye? What goodbye?
Why are they such liars?
Manipulators!
None of that happened!
Laura, I swear on my kids' lives
that none of that happened. Look,
the only thing I had with him
was a mother-son relationship, that's it!
Honey, I'm sorry, but those hugs
you gave each other, don't help at all.
That's because
everything's edited, manipulated,
because everything's decontextualized,
damn bastards!
You're going to have
to explain that to millions of viewers,
starting with your own family,
because, I mean...
[TV narrator] What will happen
to this forbidden romance?
Will the young man
reunite with his teacher...
...in the struggles of love?
The worst part's you've already
been kicked out of that reality show
that made you lose everything.
Yeah, that's right,
thanks for reminding me,
no, yeah, I'm absolutely happy, thank you.
So, what's next? Have a dog pee on me?
Well, I just can't believe how those
people from the network are so uncaring
after having destroyed your life!
Because they're miserable bastards!
- Miserable bastards!
- Yeah, that's what they are!
And you know what?
They offered me to come back,
to play the role
of the fitness cougar, the cradle robber.
- Such miserable bastards.
- Bastards,
and they said
they'd pay me three times the amount
they're going to pay the winner.
- Can you believe that?
- No, Marce, but that's not bad at all.
How is it not bad? It's very bad!
No, of course it isn't.
At least you get something out of it.
Oh, please,
don't rule out that option, Marce.
No, ma'am, I have values, dignity,
and I won't put the little life they left
in me in the hands of those people,
- no, ma'am!
- Oh, that dignity of yours.
Well, in that case, you'll have
to organize ideas and check priorities.
Well, my priorities are in check,
of course they are.
The first thing
I have to do is talk to Miguel!
I have to talk to him
because that's the most important thing!
Because he has a lot of explaining to do,
but I can't do it in the house,
`cause the kids are there
and this is very intimate
and we have to talk in private,
but he has a lot of explaining to do!
And you have
a lot of explaining to do as well.
- Me, why me?
- You have lots of explaining to do
because remember that in his eyes,
and in the eyes of 99.99 Colombians,
you cheated on him.
No, it wasn't like that!
- I know it wasn't!
- No! It wasn't like that!
In any case...
...do you think
I can stay here to sleep tonight?
Of course,
this is your house, there's my bed,
- sleep there and I'll sleep on the couch.
- Oh, no, thank you.
I can't sleep in your bed, no way.
Don't you see
you fornicated there with my son?
I'll sleep on the couch,
and do anything you want with your bed.
[upbeat music starts playing]
No, no, no, no, no, no!
Was it necessary
to humiliate me in of the entire country?
In front of everyone?
If you weren't satisfied with me,
you just need to say,
"Miguel", or "Mouse",
or whatever you want,
"do this" or "don't do that",
and I'd figure it out, okay?
To top it off, you got yourself
a snotty kid to be your lover?
I was never with a snotty kid,
because that young man was never my lover.
What do I have
to do to make it clear to you?
What about the images?
What about all those
disgusting things that came out on TV?
Well, it came out
of the producers' imagination,
- it's that simple! Yes, yes.
- Yeah, sure,
like if the producers
in this country were like that.
Yes, they're like that,
here and everywhere else.
They're twisted producers
who manipulated and insinuated everything!
Anyway, I don't
want to talk about that right now,
because I'm feeling very hurt.
How could you have such a past,
and I didn't know?
- Why hadn't you told me anything?
- Well, for the same reason,
because it's a past.
Oh! So, then you forgot, you just forgot.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, I kinda forgot, a part of it.
Well, figure out a way
to get him out of the house!
Figure out what we're going to do with our
relationship that's hanging by a thread,
because of you!
We're all going to have
to leave the house anyway.
But why?
- Well, because of this.
- What is that?
- Read it.
- No, what is that?
Let's see. It's the letter
that the administration sent
to our apartment saying to please leave
because our presence...
...affects the morality and the dignity
of the people who live in the building.
That's what they're saying, isn't it?
And why?
Because all that is based on what?
On all that crap
they saw on the reality show,
everything you did,
because it's unbelievable
that a woman your age
would get involved with a snotty kid.
Yeah, everything the country saw,
but what they don't know is that you have
your ex-lover living in the house!
Should I tell them? Should I tell that
to all of those gossipers?
Well, no one's kicking me out of my house.
The only way I'll leave is if I'm dead
and on my way to the cemetery!
Anyway, we're going to have
to leave the apartment.
Why?
Well, because...
...Blondie. Well, in a few words...
because we're broke.
[‟Amor y Deudas” playing]
