Mother (Madre)

Martin.

Baby, stop...

Alright, alright.

It's OK.

It's OK.

It's OK.

OK, it's over now.

It's over.

It's over.

MOTHER

Sit down.

Stop it.

Alright.

OK, raise your hands.

Come on, raise your hands.

Good job.

We're almost done.

Honey, what do you want to eat?

Martin?

There's this one...

This one?

Want to eat... These are delicious too.

This one? Peach oatmeal? OK!

I'm going to make it right now.

Play with your toys.

No! We don't throw things!

Don't do that! OK?

Why would you do that?

It's almost ready.

Fanta!

Fanta!

Come here.

OK, baby.

It's ready.

Look!

Look what mommy made for you.

It's time to eat.

You hungry?

Look what mommy made.

There you go. Very good.

You're behaving so well.

We were eating so well. Open your mouth, eat.

There you go.

Damnit Martin!

Look, it's nice.

You want to play with Mr. Duck?

You want to play with Mr. Duck? Yeah?

Very good.

Look how well Martin is behaving.

Honey.

It's okay.

That's it, it's over.

OK.

- It's cold. - Yeah it is.

Is Tomas still in Asia?

Yeah, he's working like crazy before the baby is born.

He's working hard.

Let's see.

Let's see here.

There he is.

He looks different than last time we saw him.

He's big.

He's the size of a lemon now.

His fingernails are growing in.

What?

If it's about Martin, don't worry.

He's with Rosa outside.

He knows her. Everything's fine.

It's...

It's not that doctor.

What if...

this baby is like Martin?

I wouldn't be able to bear it.

Diana, don't...

There's no need to worry.

The probability of that happening is slim.

It's tiny.

Don't worry.

We're running all of the tests.

Down syndrome, chromosomal disorders, etc.

Everything will be fine. Don't worry.

You're in the best of hands.

Thank you, doctor.

This little shit bit me!

- Babe, I'm this close to sealing the deal.

As soon as I'm done, I'm on the first flight home.

If I quit, we'll get sued and lose everything.

We'll be broke. We'll lose the house, my career...

and you'll be giving birth in a motel bathroom.

I'm trapped here, babe.

So we have to find another solution.

You need help with Martin. How is the nanny search?

Horribly.

I hate hiring someone who works for two days and quits.

I'm tired of new people constantly moving in and out of the house.

There isn't a line of child development experts waiting at the front door.

They all know each other and talk. They know Martin's a disaster.

Babe, I just want to fix this for you.

- But what can I do from my iPad? - Don't do that.

Don't try to manipulate me.

This isn't a sales call, Tomés Prieto.

I'm not Mr. Miyamoto. I'm your wife.

- Not one of your Japanese clients. - Yeah, Ok.

If you can't wait a few weeks, Maybe I can take a couple of days

head home and...

- Babe... - What?

I have to go right now,

but let's talk in an hour. I love you. Bye.

It's alright, I'm here!

Calm down.

No.

Martin!

Let's take another bath, sweetie.

Look who's here.

Be careful!

Stop it!

Stop it! No!

Nope.

Let's go.

Martin, not again.

Honey, we need food in the house. Let's go.

Martin, look.

Oatmeal? Do you want some peach oatmeal?

We have to finish so we can go eat some peach oatmeal.

Please, don't do this.

Martin, don't!

No, sweetie, stop!

Martin, stop!

Martin, stop!

Martin!

That was incredible. Thank you so much.

I'm Luz.

Thank you, Luz.

I don't know what I would've done without your help.

- Thank you. - Back in the Philippines, my son David

was just like him.

But much worse.

I worked with him and he started to improve.

Now he's completely healthy.

Don't worry, miss. He'll get better too.

Why didn't you hire her? She sounds perfect!

I didn't think about it. She already has a job.

Babe, she's a filipino working in Chile?

Would she rather clean supermarkets...

or live in a nice house, earning double for babysitting a kid?

Babe, you need to learn to take advantage of these opportunities.

I'll bet she can also help you around the house.

She probably cooks and cleans. It's perfect.

This is our house.

The kitchen is back there and the bedrooms are upstairs.

We can leave that in your room, then take a tour?

Let's go.

Here we are.

This is your room.

LUZ?

- Is something wrong? - Ms. Diana...

I've never lived in such a big and beautiful house.

You've given me an opportunity and I...

will help make this house into the house of your dreams.

You don't have to worry anymore.

Thank you.

Four Months.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

- Is Martin still asleep? - Nope.

Luz had him up at 6 am.

She bathed him, dressed him, and gave him breakfast.

- And she made me coffee. - She's the best!

Kape na may gatas or something. Not sure how she says it.

Kape na may gatas huh?

They're working on the alphabet and doesn't want us to interrupt them.

- Martin has a doctor's appointment. - Nope.

- What? - I moved it to noon.

What are we supposed to do with all this free time?

- Babe, it makes me nervous. - What?

I don't want to poke the baby in the eye.

He's the size of an orange and you're not that big.

- You said he was lemon sized. - That was last month.

It's impressive, seriously.

What a turnaround.

He's even making eye contact.

His CARS score improved from 3.5 to 2.5.

Did you change his diet or start doing something new?

No, we haven't changed anything.

Well, there is one thing.

- Tell him. - No you tell him.

We have a new nanny.

She's been working with him and speaks with him

but in Filipino.

She doesn't want to work with him in Spanish.

- Is that a problem? - No, communication is communication.

She can speak in Russian if she wants. It doesn't matter.

As long as she stimulates his brain's language center.

It's better not to confuse him with Spanish right now.

I'd love to meet her, can you bring her in next time?

- Yes. - Of course.

Wonderful.

Are you sure you don't want to come to Tokyo? I'll hide you in my suitcase.

No Mr. Tomés, Martin needs me.

- But I can get you more pancit? - Yes please.

- I would love more pancit. Thanks. - You're welcome.
