I'm gonna pick this story up from where we left off.
On the day my brother was killed, I buried him like a dog in the desert.
By my father's side.
I abandoned him there for one reason.
If nobody knows you're dead,
nobody asks questions.
Even if it means he gets to Heaven through a back door.
Right then, I just wanted to see my mother.
In case you don't remember, Romeo had kidnapped her.
I wanna see my mother.
Of course.
When I finally told her about Christian's death, I was relieved.
And hearing her vital signs made me think she was at peace,
that she was resting.
In that moment, I didn't know that Romeo had already killed her.
He had stuffed her in a freezer
and defrosted her to let me have my guilty-son moment with her.
When Romeo told me days later she had passed away in the nursing home,
I believed him.
I could never have imagined the way those deaths were going to change my life.
Romeo and I would become really close again,
due to his withholding of certain facts.
I became part of the family with the man who'd killed mine.
I went from driving whores to striptease gigs
to driving girls to school.
I don't want you to go back to the club, at least for a while.
You need time to recover from all this.
What should I do?
Go on a vacation, yeah?
Go to some restaurants.
Take a bike ride.
Read a book.
What do I know?
Just some peace, you know. We deserve it.
A book?
Let's see, one thing…
So I finally got the ideal life I wanted.
Together with the psychopath that had killed my mom.
While that secret bomb was still counting down, ticktock,
it would explode months later,
we fished,
we had breakfast,
and we sang as if we were in some Christmas movie.
Meanwhile, we kept on looking for the three women that ruined us.
And soon, we would find out
they were only 1,854 kilometers away.
And that they also had a new life.
Welcome to the new house.
The best I could find.
Oh, but I love it. It's so beautiful.
It's not only beautiful, Gina.
We're right by the Civil Guard.
No one will ever find us here.
We were going to build our new life
on a bomb that would explode sooner or later.
We had stolen four million euros from our pimp.
And unfortunately, he wouldn't forget that.
I think we should hide half inside the house and half outside the house.
In case something goes wrong. Hmm?
We opened a bakery in town to launder Romeo's money.
And we went from being whores walking on thin ice to bakers.
From working at night
to enjoying the sun with a mojito in a hammock.
From living locked up
to sailing on the open sea.
And from there,
it's just a thin line before you… fall in love with your diving instructor.
How are you, Gina? Any better?
No, I'm not.
Don't worry. It's normal to feel seasick when you're not used to sailing.
-You'll see, it'll pass in no time. -No, I don't think this will pass.
It's because I'm pregnant, five months pregnant.
Mm, well, you do know you can't dive if… you're pregnant, yeah?
Yeah, I know. There are a lot of things you can't do when you're pregnant.
I mean, you shouldn't be buried under a block of cement.
Uh… Mm…
Well, I guess, um… Get some rest, yeah?
Toni, are you okay?
What's wrong?
Well, I thought… You see, I thought we were flirting.
I didn't know you were expecting a baby, so you must have a boyfriend or a husband.
I'm sorry about that.
No, but I don't have anyone.
Huh.
Is… one of them the mother?
Or both?
Well, if you want to see it that way, sure, they are.
Let's just say that there was a father,
but he's no longer in our lives. He's in the past. So…
Well, I'm also coming out of a relationship that's way in the past.
-Tell me more. -No, no, I'd bore you. No way, no.
No, no, really, you won't. I love stories. Come here.
-Come on. -Hmm. Okay.
So I got married when I was 30.
And I thought I'd found the love of my life.
I met her one night. I asked her, "Do you wanna come to Almería with me?"
That's so romantic.
Well, she said yes, unexpectedly, and she went.
I think it was the only time I saw that excitement in her eyes.
Why? What went wrong?
I was in love with her like… uh, well, like a puppy.
I was always proposing things,
and she said yes, and she came, but not wholeheartedly.
And I thought, "She must be enjoying herself."
"She's happy, but she's Basque and expresses it differently."
Well, no.
That wasn't it. She just wasn't in love.
Hmm.
Well, I've also had love stories that are…
They're not happy, or nice, or anything to write home about.
And I've tried, yeah?
I've tried so many different ways, but…
As you can see,
I ended up being a single mom.
I believe you don't have to try when you're in love,
when you're with the right person.
Okay.
It wasn't surprising that Gina fell in love.
But seeing that you can delete where you come from and look forward,
Wendy decided to take a leap of faith as well.
With the girl at the gas station.
She started going there more often just to see her…
which meant she had to use her gas up faster,
by riding her bike all over town.
Can I help you?
But that started taking too long.
So she opted for another way that was much faster.
-How are you? Good? -Good, yeah. Great.
-I like this look. -Braids.
Until one day, after 175 liters of 95-octane gas,
Wendy went for it.
So, do you want me to ask you what time you finish work?
What for?
Well… to pick you up and take you on a ride on my motorcycle.
I have someone.
What?
I once thought cassette tapes were forever.
-And look. -Hmm. Yeah.
Hey.
I'm off at seven.
Well, so, do you like it here?
There's not too many people.
But it's nice. Mm-hmm.
Are you worried about being seen with me?
Um, well,
I have a girlfriend, and I don't want her to worry for no reason.
People talk too much.
I only invited you for a motorcycle ride to get to know each other.
-I don't have many friends, you know? -Sure. Um, cool. So, I don't know, what…?
-What do you wanna know about me? -Hmm. I don't know. Nothing specific.
What's your daily life?
Mm, okay. So, let's see, mm…
On Tuesdays, I have to be on the lookout because that's when the tanker comes.
So I need to make sure no one parks where the hatches are.
There are 20,000 liters in the tanker.
And there's always some smart-ass who parks there.
Then I also have to check the water in the buckets
to clean the cars' windshields.
Uh, because if I don't, they always tell me,
"Girl, there's no water over here."
And I hate being called "girl."
But, well, the most important thing
is when I spend time thinking about what to do on my days off.
Because if I save some days, I can go to Madrid.
Because doing stuff here is basic.
Might be boring, but…
really nice.
Hmm.
And you? What…? What plans do you have?
I got none.
I left them.
I tossed all plans.
Why?
I had a girlfriend…
and when she was gone…
I thought that the plans
were the reason she left me.
Because sometimes plans can give you trouble.
And then it's… It becomes difficult.
But that's a lie.
The plans are not to blame.
Sometimes,
the illusion and…
and all the excitement
to get what you want makes you…
take shortcuts.
How about now?
Now I'm slowing down.
Now I think I can wait for things.
Mm.
I also tried to have plans.
To be happy to the best of my ability and leave the past behind.
But every day,
when the night came,
the nightmares started.
Every time I got in bed, the reality caved in on itself.
I felt as if my lungs were collapsing and the atmosphere weighed 100 tons.
My chest sank as if I wanted to go through the mattress.
I couldn't breathe.
I couldn't sleep.
I couldn't exist in the silence.
While Wendy and Gina soared,
I sank more and more.
But there was someone else obsessed with the past.
Romeo.
He was also obsessed with keeping Moisés away from the truth.
What's up, Tattoo? Are you gonna drink all my beers or what?
He'll drink even more if you keep talking so long.
You get ready like a bride.
Tattoo,
you fucker.
I didn't know you were such good friends with Moisés.
We've gone out a couple of times.
Can I come in?
How are you, girls?
Well, this looks messy.
Okay, I know some of you have been talking.
And maybe you all know by now
about the tragic events we had here at the club about three months ago.
Well, let me explain.
When Christian came through the door, he was met with bad luck.
We didn't properly calibrate the seriousness
of the shot the bitches took at him.
Then we had the death of Moisés's mother.
Between us, we decided the best thing in the world would be to mercy-kill her
to free her from the damage caused by her illness,
which, as you know, was bad.
Horrible.
These facts are painful.
Especially for me. That's why I wanna leave them behind.
That's why if any of you talk about this with anyone outside of here,
whoever it is,
I will
saw her family into pieces.
Your fate is in your hands.
And to show all of you that my commitment to leave the past behind
is completely firm,
many things are gonna change at Las Novias,
starting with your working conditions.
Come closer.
Come.
So from now on, in this club, there will be no more misled girls.
From here on out, we only have workers,
which means you'll do your job, you'll pay your debt,
and you'll be free.
They talk about sexual slavery.
I went to Wikipedia and read all about it 'cause I don't wanna be accused of that.
So I promise there'll be no more threats from me about your job,
or retentions,
or increases in the money you owe me.
Are you telling us that… you won't charge us for any of the makeup?
-Or the condoms? -Or the lingerie we use?
-No. -And how will you handle those?
Negotiating the price, like a store.
The only condition I have…
is your silence.
Okay?
Well, very good. Girls, go to work.
Be sexy and smile out there.
Come on. Come on!
Today is the first day of your new lives.
Tattoo, wait a second.
There's just one thing
I've been thinking about.
Well, you've been doing a lot of talking to Moisés,
all this laughing,
all this drinking…
You wouldn't have said anything by chance about…
the tragic way his brother passed away, right?
Of course not, Romeo. I mean, don't you trust me?
Mm, I don't trust people who drink.
They talk too much.
I mean, if you told me,
"Boss, this is the last drink I'll have because I wanna be good,"
that would be different, but try to see it from my perspective.
The other day, you went with Moisés to a bar to eat.
And both of you were drinking.
How do I feel?
Well, I feel bad. I feel bad.
'Cause I think that on your third whiskey, you'll spill the beans.
Look, Romeo, with all due respect, yeah?
I think you're overreacting about all this.
Am I?
Yes. Because it's one thing you being my boss.
But telling me who I can hang out with and if I can drink?
Not even my father does that. Never.
I think you're confusing being a boss with being the Pope from the Vatican.
Yeah?
You're such a bastard!
You've put me in my place, fuck.
Yeah! The fucking Pope from the Vatican.
You bastard. Okay, okay, fine.
I'm gonna talk to you as a boss now, about your work.
You're going to Cuba. I just promoted you.
Listen, Julian's there looking for information on those three bitches.
-I can't go to Cuba now, Romeo. -Oh, no? Why not?
I just moved in with my girlfriend, Marisol.
Well, I understand the offer needs to be a bit better.
I'll pay you three times as much. How about…
Mm…
Yeah, fuck it. Here.
25,000 euros in expenses.
-You serious? -Sure.
Shit.
And what do I tell Marisol now? I told her I was a salesman.
You can still be a salesman. You just have to go make a deal in Cuba.
And you're leaving today. That's why you have to call your girl.
And I wanna hear that call, come on.
Quickly, call her. Go ahead.
Hey, Marisol.
I'm here at work, and listen, I've been promoted.
Yeah, another worker wasn't up to the task, and now I have to go abroad.
Yeah, yeah. Listen, I'm leaving today. I don't know, a couple of months.
Let--
Let me see, uh-- Well, I didn't expect to have to leave now either.
Shit, she hung up.
The fucking Pope from the Vatican, you asshole!
You won't speak again, you fucking son of a bitch!
How disgusting.
Beefcake.
Bring me a clean shirt to the girls' room.
And get the toolbox also 'cause you've got a new project.
Shh.
Shh. Calm down.
Don't waste your energy.
While in there, you'll be all fixed up.
Right as rain.
You'll see.
The best.
Very good. Good job, Beefcake.
You're an artist.
Come on, move.
And so the days went by and the sleepless nights too.
Until three months later,
when something happened that would change everything.
Tragically, it would also bring us misfortune.
Honey.
My love, what are you doing awake this early?
I wasn't very tired.
I wanted to tell you that… that Toni's bringing a friend today.
-Mm? -Mm-hmm.
He told me he has a lot in common with you.
-With me? -Yes. His name is Pau.
Pau.
It happened in the middle of a Sunday barbecue,
right before we all started eating.
-This is a sausage. -That's right. Hot dog.
Maybe I should do this in private, but I'm gonna be bold today.
I've only done this once, and I can't even remember how, but I still have time
before your baby is born, and I want to ask
if you wanna live with me?
Well, this is actually plan A,
because I know we haven't been together for long
and I'm gonna seem crazy, but I also have a plan B.
What I really would like to do is marry you.
Give me a moment. I'm going to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
I think my blood pressure's dropping.
Hold on.
Gina.
I don't want you to think I'm taking advantage of this situation.
A baby doesn't make a couple, but…
Shit, I wanna be there for you when this baby is born.
But you don't know anything about this child, Toni.
-You don't know anything about my history. -But I don't care.
I also have a past. We all do.
Not like mine, Toni.
Toni,
you don't know where I came from.
You don't know anything about me or why I'm here. You don't know anything at all.
Well then, be honest.
Tell me it all.
I have a son.
I had to practically abandon him in Cuba because…
because I wanted to give him a better life,
but I got here, and I found a worse life.
That I… That I…
Okay, but a son is great news.
Bring him to us.
Yes. And if you finally accept me, well, we can be a large family together.
Gina,
what I want is to build a future with you.
And if I have to wait,
then I'll wait for you.
Forget about everything I told you outside.
Forget about plans A and B.
What if we tried plan C?
What's plan C?
The barbecues every Sunday.
Okay?
Those simmering plans in Gina's head
were going to change everything drastically,
but not for good.
She decided to call her mother
from the only phone booth she found, ten kilometers away from our town.
And that call would open a crack,
which would allow the past to sneak into our lives
and blow us up.
It's me, Mom.
Carmen!
I'm not calling to talk to you, okay?
I'm just phoning to tell you that I have some money,
and I'm going to bring Carlitos with me here to Spain.
I never thought I would hear from you again.
How are you?
Fine, Mom.
I'm fine.
And how are you?
Fine, honey.
We've stayed in Remedios.
Your dad found a job here.
Oh, really?
Yes, my love.
And Carlitos is doing fine with his cousins at school.
We're all doing fine, thank God.
That's good to hear, Mom.
Carmen.
I know things have been bad.
It was very hard to be with all those men.
But I didn't think… I didn't think they were going to treat you so poorly.
You know the problems we've always had here, honey. And…
And that man gave me money for your dad's thing.
He seemed like a good man. And I didn't know what to do.
But I have thought about you every single day, love.
Do you think you'll be able to forgive me?
You know what, Mom?
If everything goes as it should,
well then, maybe you and… and maybe Dad can come here someday.
Spend the summer here?
I'm gonna have another baby, Mom.
You are?
Wonderful news, eh?
I'll give birth in a month.
And I have a friend.
Well, he's more than a friend, to be honest.
He's a bit older and adventurous.
And he's so tender with me, Mommy.
He works here in the marina, but…
we're always in the sea.
He really is a good man, Mommy.
I know.
And I think things are gonna be great from here on out.
Oh, Carmen.
I'm so happy to hear that finally everything is fine.
I'm so happy, my love.
You're free now, granny.
And rich.
And my grandson?
You'll get him back this afternoon.
And then we can say goodbye.
What's up?
Where?
What's wrong?
I'll call you back.
Moisés.
We found them.
They're on the coast at Almería.
