Where's Regina?
Ana, you kicked us out. You can't tell us what to do.
-You can't just take her! -Ana!
What are you doing?
Relax, ma'am.
Where's Regina?
Pass the joint, Penguin.
Why does she have a tattoo?
We don't want her to be bullied at daycare.
You're crazy.
-I'm taking her. -Ana, leave! That's enough!
Let me go! Regina won't grow up a degenerate.
You're dead to us.
Leave us alone for good!
A NETFLIX SERIES
Stop, Mom.
Stop looking at me like a run-over deer on the road.
I'm looking at you normally. Aren't I?
No, you're frowning, just like when my dad was hungover.
You're nuts. But if it bothers you, I'll sit somewhere else.
I only stayed because you didn't seem well.
Can we not talk about this?
Mom, I want to talk about it.
Why isn't Dad here?
That's between your dad and me.
Why are Mariana and Regina gone?
That's between Mariana and me.
Besides, they were going to leave someday, right?
-Don't you care about Regina? -Where did they go?
I don't know. And I don't care.
-But, Mom... -I don't care!
All you need to know
is that Mariana and Regina no longer live here.
Neither does your dad.
MARIANA PLEASE, ANA. I NEED TO EXPLAIN.
Is that my dad?
-Is it Mariana? -Is it Juan Carlos?
Is it your old bosses begging you to come back?
-Who was it? -Mom!
Who was it?
Unknown number.
Hey, you look pretty!
Yeah.
Good morning.
You're still here.
Hi.
Want some pancakes?
-Yes. -Cynthia made them.
-They're from a box mix. -They're amazing.
And you are?
Karla.
Karla.
-Can I give her a little? -No.
We don't give her refined flours.
Come on, Mariana. She'll be fine.
She's allergic, Pablo.
You don't even seem like her dad.
I used to have allergies as a kid, but they went away.
Lucky you.
You could spend the night here
and make these delicious pancakes from a box mix.
Chill, Mariana, here.
Drink some coffee and relax, will you?
I can't have coffee in the morning.
You know that.
Damn, don't you remember? We used to date.
We also used to date, yeah.
This is weird.
What happened at the baptism shouldn't have happened.
Don't beat yourself up.
What happened had to happen.
Mariana will have to forgive you because you're her mother.
You should learn to trust the universe.
-Give me a break, Mom. -What?
Mariana won't forgive me because the universe wills it.
No.
I need to talk to her.
All I'm saying is you need to have faith.
That's what I did when I asked for an apartment so I could move to the city.
Now look at this! Isn't it beautiful?
You asked the universe
and three real estate agents you pestered
until they found you a place. Come on.
Well, whatever.
Eat your breakfast before it gets cold.
Don't you have any food?
Not even a box mix for some chilaquiles?
Sorry, I'm out. And you know what?
They'd be great for this hangover.
The baptism was pretty funny, huh?
I don't want to talk about it. I haven't even had breakfast.
We could order chilaquiles from El Cardenal or wherever you like.
I like the ones Altagracia makes.
And I like them even better with my wife and kids.
That's going to take a while.
I'm talking from experience.
A woman recovers from childbirth sooner than from infidelity.
You should learn to enjoy the bachelor life.
Get yourself an apartment, walk around naked.
Wait, no. I don't need an apartment.
I'm going to get my house and family back.
What?
I'm going to get breakfast.
Damn, you're a pain in the ass, Juanqui.
You have to tell them something.
You never talked to me about what happened with Dad.
I had to find out on my own.
I thought I was protecting you, but that was a mistake.
I'll decide when it's time to talk to my children.
I just want what's best for you.
What's best for me right now is for you to leave me alone.
All right.
But no one actually believes you don't care about Regina.
Where's your friend?
Did you send her home?
It was a one-night stand.
Besides, this place is getting pretty cramped as it is.
I have to get a job so I can pitch in.
No one's asking you to, Mariana.
I know, but I don't want to depend on anyone,
least of all Pablo.
What's up with him dating Ana's assistant?
She's also Chava's cousin.
They were both at the baptism, and...
Don't remind me about that awful baptism.
It was nice.
-Nice? -Yeah.
I don't know why you decided to declare your love for Ana in front of everyone.
-My romantic compass is broken. -Oh, come on.
Don't beat yourself up. You were just confused.
And you have two beautiful babies. How are you?
That's right, isn't it?
We miss Valentina. We want to see her, but Ana won't answer my texts.
Hello, Regina.
How are you? I'm your friend, the unicorn.
May I come in?
That unicorn was Valentina's.
No wonder it was all slobbery, but I washed it.
I wanted to give it to Regina.
Thanks, I guess.
Okay, I should get back to Pablo.
"I should get back to Pablo."
What?
Elena!
I need to see my owner.
My darling. My beautiful baby girl.
-Pablo? -Ana?
Hey, I'm calling because some of Regina's things are here.
I can send them over with Ramón.
Well, I think you should ask Mariana.
Well, Mariana and I aren't speaking right now.
I'm only doing this for Regina's sake, nothing more.
Sure, no problem. I'm sure it'll be okay with Mariana.
Great. Can I get your address?
It's 41 Ciencias Street, Escandón neighborhood.
-Very well. I'll send Ramón over tomorrow. -Okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
Hello?
Romelia, hi. Is Ana there? She's not answering her phone.
-And for good reason. -What?
I mean, maybe she doesn't have it. Let me see if she's around.
It's Juan Carlos.
No. Tell him I'm not home.
No, she isn't here.
She just left for the office.
Romelia, Ana doesn't work at the office anymore.
Ana went out to do some errands.
Oh, Mom.
-You're a terrible liar. -Yeah.
I don't like to get involved.
Besides, I've never been good at improvising.
Answer. Tell him...
-What do you want, Juan Carlos? -Ana!
We need to talk.
-There's nothing to talk about. -Yes, there is.
I want to come home.
Oh!
You should've thought of that before cheating on me, no?
-Juan Carlos, stop calling. -Ana!
I want to see my kids.
Let's figure out what we're telling them.
Fine.
I'll meet you at Café Sultán tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.
You should knock first, Rodrigo.
We can find out what happened at the baptism.
If you think you can bribe Alta, you're mistaken.
Mom and Dad are meeting tomorrow at Café Sultán.
Are we invited?
No, but if we go there, we could spy on them.
I can hear conversations 60 feet away with this.
Jeez, Rodrigo.
No wonder you know everything, gossip.
Well, that's not the point. The point is, this is our chance.
You're right. We have to think of something.
This isn't neutral ground, Mom.
Grandma always takes your side.
Hey, I didn't come back to the city for you to be fighting, okay?
-No one asked you to move to the city. -Don't talk to your grandma like that.
Besides, I don't know why you're living as a freeloader
with Pablo and Elena when you could be living with me.
