BASED ON THE NOVELS BY ELÍSABET BENAVENT
2.5 MELT DOWN
How can you be so handsome this early?
-Or maybe my vision's still blurry. -Maybe it's that. Sleep a little longer.
I want to go in early to prepare a meeting I have first thing.
It's all right. I'll get up so we can have breakfast together.
-I already had coffee. -Already?
-I don't like having breakfast early. -I didn't know you had to get up early.
If I did, I would have come over earlier yesterday.
No meeting could have made me regret you coming here last night.
-I have to go. -Do you?
-Yes. Valeria. -Yes? Go.
Do you mind if I eat something here?
I'm not human until I've had breakfast.
Sure. Make yourself at home.
After that, I'll go home and work.
Sales have increased. It's so amazing.
I still can't believe people I don't know are reading my book.
If this carries on, maybe I should start working on the second novel.
Maybe
you should.
Impostor.
Tell me you have tea.
-I don't. -You don't?
I have blueberries, oats,
and I think I have a little chia left.
I'm leaving.
Bye.
Oh, God.
IMPOSTOR, NEW REVIEWS
-I READ IT IN ONE GO. -WHEN IS PART TWO COMING OUT?
FRIENDS 4EVER - IMPOSTOR IS ON GOODREADS!
LET'S CELEBRATE TONIGHT. IT'S HALLOWEEN!
Hello.
Kudos to the boss on her first day at work.
You're so sweet.
I'm so nervous. I can't stop sweating, and this pantsuit is new.
Hey, you look great.
-I wanted to impress my boss. -You've done it.
-I brought you some coffee. -You're the best. Come here.
-By the way, I need help with something. -Sure.
-Pay attention. OK? -Yes.
"Welcome to the team." Or…
"Welcome to the team."
-Which one? -They sound the same.
No, sweetie. In one, I'm going for informality.
The other one is firm yet understanding.
OK, say them again.
I'll say them, but pay attention.
-"Welcome to the team." -That's the informal one.
No, it's firm yet understanding.
-"Welcome to the team." -Can't you see they're the same?
No! It's "Welcome to the team" or "Welcome to the team."
-You're confusing yourself. -It doesn't matter.
Relax. Drink your coffee--
I'm sorry.
About the reports… I've been writing about mortgage law for weeks.
I was wondering if there's anything else I can do.
Do you find your job boring?
No, of course not.
Make coffee, please.
Let's get started.
As you know, we're signing a deal this week
with the law firm Praga's partners.
-Great, more coffee. -What?
I said, "I'll have to make more coffee then."
Maybe some catering and photographs.
Mónica is right.
Some kind of party?
No. I wouldn't go for anything too pretentious.
Something to celebrate the firm,
so they feel important and taken care of.
But nothing too showy.
I can organize it.
I like it.
Initiative and enthusiasm.
Thanks, Mónica.
I wish you put the same effort into your reports.
OK…
Welcome to the team.
Wel… Shit.
Come on, focus.
Wel… Welcome to the team.
Wel… What am I doing? Welcome…
Good morning. I thought you had a team meeting at 9:30.
Yes, but Borja will be a bit late, and I wanted to wait for him.
Late on his first day?
Well, he had a little problem.
Let's start now.
I love you.
Did you see Carmen's text?
No.
-Oh. -What?
What is it?
-Your book… -What?
…is on Goodreads!
-Yes! -Are you serious?
You're going to be famous, girl!
I'd jump higher, but I'm really tired.
Whatever.
-Hey. -What?
It's a bit chilly in here, isn't it?
Yeah, the heating is broken.
Yeah, but I'm fine. I am.
-Really? -You're not?
-Well, not really. -Anyway, how are you?
-Did you talk to Nerea? -No.
She's acting normal, but I think she hates me.
-She doesn't hate you. -I was a jerk.
-A jerk. -OK.
-Jerk. -OK.
You've been a jerk to me many times, and I don't hate you.
-But you should talk to her. -Yeah.
So, to what do I owe this honor? You usually have breakfast at lunchtime.
Is it my fault I'm a night owl in a world made for early birds?
-Don't you have powdered sugar? -Raw cane sugar.
You can't put that on churros.
At least I have something sweet.
Víctor only has healthy food at his place.
How dare Víctor make you get up early without processed food.
Shut up, I found out he's an early bird.
One that flies at 7:00 a.m. as if he's been awake for two hours.
Cute. You're like the characters in that film, Ladyhawke.
-He told me to stay at his house. -Shit.
Why aren't we eating the churros there?
He's OK leaving me alone, at his place,
surrounded by healthy food and oats, but he can't define our relationship?
What?
Listen.
Is it possible that you're obsessed with defining what you have with Víctor
because you're afraid to find out what you're like on your own?
CAN I BE ALONE? MAYBE I'LL THINK ABOUT IT TONIGHT.
IT'S HALLOWEEN.
Coming!
-Ta-da! -Wow.
Wait.
-Are you… Chaplin? -It's Halloween!
I'm Edgar Allan Poe. Look.
"Quoth the raven, 'Caw.'"
"'Caw, caw!'"
You'll spend all night explaining your costume.
-Why aren't you dressed up? -I'm the living dead.
-Hi! -You aren't dressing up either?
I don't see the point. Halloween isn't celebrated here.
Because it's much more fun to visit your grandparents' tombs.
Well, listen up… Groucho?
-Edgar Allan Poe! -See?
Honoring the dead is a beautiful tradition.
She-devil!
A heteropatriarchal classic.
Always sexy, never unsexy.
Seriously? We were supposed to go out and party.
I've got the sniffles.
Besides, I'm already a witch for how I treated Borja today.
We can't just be good. We have to be the best.
Sorry I'm late.
We have to be the best.
Say something.
Right.
Borja, try and be a bit more punctual next time, please.
It's important that we're all present at the morning meeting.
-But I just came from-- -Tell me later.
Borja! We can talk about it, can't we? Because…
Don't go, Borja!
-I don't want to be late again. -It's my first day on this job.
Mine too. But you were the one who told me to go change.
I know, but Orta was staring at me, and I didn't want to look bad.
I always thought you'd be a great boss because you're fair
and would never throw people under the bus.
That's what I thought. Until now.
One day you're young,
and the next you'd rather eat roasted chestnuts than go out.
This doesn't look like my idea of a Halloween night at all.
That's more like it.
-Yes! I want some. -Of course you do.
You're hopeless.
What do you imagine when you think about a lawyer?
-A penal lawyer? -I object, Your Honor!
You're all so funny.
I'm sorry.
Do you like the firm?
Well…
Tired of writing reports?
Anyway, don't worry, that's temporary.
-Does it get better? -Yes, of course.
You go from writing them to reading and highlighting them.
This one. My coffee, with soy milk and foam.
That's what the rest of my life is going to be like.
And how's your new place?
OLGA - HOW ARE YOU? WANT TO GO OUT FOR A BEER FOR HALLOWEEN?
Olga, I'll call you back.
Someone used my coffee.
If it was you two, buy me another pack.
NEREA
Listen, if you want to come to my place someday,
you can stay there and work, even if I'm not home.
OK. Thank you.
Why does it now mean nothing when someone says you can stay at theirs
even if they aren't there?
She's talking about Víctor. It means something to me.
If the privacy of your home doesn't mean you're a couple,
then what the hell does?
I always thought peeing in front of each other did.
I'm serious. It's a private moment you share
when the mystery is gone, but the love is still there.
I think the difference is meeting his family.
The one Borja hasn't introduced me to yet.
Going on vacation.
It's like living together.
I spent a weekend away with Borja, but that's not vacation.
It isn't.
Usually he doesn't even spend the night.
-What? -Yeah.
-Even Sergio spends the night. -Really?
-Sure. He's a weirdo. -And he keeps nothing here.
A toothbrush, or a shirt in case he spills his coffee.
Fuck it.
-What are you doing? -Texting him.
He needs to come over, forgive me and make love to me,
like any solid couple would.
What about us?
We'll leave.
-Already? -Perfect.
We have time for a drink before he gets here.
OK, hurry up.
Let's toast to the success of Impostor.
-Yeah. -With Goodreads, you'll be a hit.
Thank you.
Brava!
You deserve success with this book and with all the books to come.
Are you a pirate?
I told you so.
That was some Halloween!
I felt old. That's really scary.
-No. -Yes.
No.
Considering I'm a night owl and he's an early bird,
is it too late to text Víctor?
It's never,
ever too late to get laid.
That's what Tinder statistics say anyway.
-I'm meeting up with Sergio. -Now?
Now.
VÍCTOR
TRICK OR TREAT AT MY PLACE?
I think you have a visitor.
God.
Hi.
Hello.
Come in.
Borja, I'm really sorry. You were right about what you said before.
I haven't been fair. I'm sorry about everything that happened.
Listen.
-I will make mistakes. -No.
Everyone does.
But don't lecture me until I deserve it.
OK.
And I'm not just saying this,
but the idea you had at the meeting was pretty impressive.
-What? Are you just saying that? -No, I'm not.
I mean it.
I'm very happy with the talent I recruited for my team.
My work team and my personal team.
You're hot.
I have the hots for you.
No, seriously.
You're hot.
-I actually feel terrible. -Really?
I overdid it with the AC.
-Wow! -Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Come here.
-I'm really cold. -Lie down.
There you go.
-Sweetie, I've been thinking… -Yes?
And, well, after what happened to your shirt today,
maybe you should…
It's freezing!
That's the idea.
-Do you have paracetamol? -In the nightstand.
Babe, I was thinking that maybe
you should bring something here, to my house.
Like stain remover?
No, silly. Your things. I could let you use a drawer.
-Take that. -OK.
God.
That way, if you spill your coffee,
well, you could get changed here.
As if this
were your house.
That's a great idea.
Really?
-Yes. -Are you sure?
I love it.
Yeah? Seriously?
-Yes. -Babe, that's great!
-But you're not up for that. -No, actually I'm not.
-Get into bed. -Come here.
-I'm so cold. -Get under the covers.
It's great you're here.
If you stay
You won't change…
Well, get some sleep.
I'll call you tomorrow, OK?
You're leaving?
Yes, you need to sleep.
Yeah, but I'm sick. You should stay and look after me.
-Something could happen to me. -Carmen, it's a cold.
The last rites can wait.
Do you mean that?
-I'm not going to sit here watching you. -But--
And I didn't tell my mom I wasn't sleeping at home.
Get some rest.
-Tomorrow you'll be as good as new. -Yeah.
So, sweat it out.
OK.
Bye, babe.
Sure you don't want anything else?
Val,
I read your book.
I'm sorry.
Is everything you say in it true?
Yes.
Adri, we were in a bad place.
And I wanted to tell a real story.
-Yeah. -What happened to us is real.
Right. So you thought you'd tell the whole world about our life.
Was living with me really that bad?
I didn't write that.
That's right, you focused on the amazing things
that guy did to you in bed while you were married to me.
People say, "You never really know someone."
I never thought I'd say that about you.
We were in crisis for months. You wouldn't touch or support me--
Instead of solving our problems with me, you solved 'em by screwing someone else.
-I'm not making excuses. It was wrong. -It was wrong?
Val, that's a fucked-up thing to do!
I thought you loved me and you lied to me.
-And all just to feel better. -No.
-I did it because I couldn't breathe. -Welcome to adulthood.
Sometimes we drown, or float or get dragged away by the current.
But that doesn't mean we have to drag others down with us.
I will not take the blame for us.
You can't kill what's already dead.
Save your literary bullshit for your next novel.
You're out of line.
-Me? -Yes.
I'm sorry, I forgot I was the dumbass husband.
You're not my husband anymore and haven't been for a long time now.
Do you want to know what you are?
His plaything.
But the problem isn't me or Víctor. You're the problem, and you know it.
A selfish brat who's almost 30 and pretends she lives in her own novel.
No worries, I was just leaving.
Better to end a chapter on a cliffhanger.
You got tired of loving me
You were never that brave
I know you won't shoot
You don't have to try that hard
Because we already woke up dead
Why?
My love
Why?
Your text said you had a bottle of wine.
And I did.
But I drank it.
Did you call so I'd look after you?
I've been eating chestnuts and drinking fancy wine.
I called you for you to make me feel young again.
Well, I think I have a couple of ideas for that.
Surprise.
-Is this for me? -Yes.
Do you like it?
It's a dress?
I want you to wear it on Sunday when I introduce you to my friends.
You'll look stunning.
Thanks, but I already have something to wear on Sunday.
Yeah, but they…
They're people from the world of finance, and, well, you can't go dressed like…
Like what?
-You know. -No, I don't. You tell me.
Do you choose my clothes now?
Lola, don't take it like that.
Listen, if you want to play dress up, buy yourself a doll.
-I think I'd better go. -I agree.
Yeah.
Yes. Or maybe you want to choose my pajamas first.
No?
He's hurt, and when you're hurt, you say things you don't mean.
Am I your plaything?
You'd just gotten back from Berlin.
I was a married woman going through a crisis.
Am I your plaything?
Why don't we forget about what Adrián said?
Why won't you answer me?
You were my plaything.
Great.
-But only at first. -Don't tell me.
Then you started to change, you started to feel things.
-Just like in a novel. -Why do you always analyze everything?
Who cares what Adrián says?
-I'm telling you the truth. -Easy for you to say.
You've never had a real relationship, only playthings.
Go.
I want to be alone.
Edgar Allan Poe.
I can't stand having you close
Or having to imagine you
Even if I tell you What you want to hear
I've gotten tired of seeing you
I've gotten tired of loving you
But I come back every afternoon
To universal suicide
I'm confused now, so I drink
But I never tell you why
My love
Why
And in the water
Ask the water
If we are water
We will be water
…A SELFISH BRAT WHO'S ALMOST 30
I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!
YOU LIED TO ME!
YOU WERE HIS PLAYTHING…
And in the dust
Ask the dust
If we are dust
We will be dust…
Coming!
Welcome.
Hello.
OK, so, here you go.
I set up the table for you.
And you can stay as long as you want.
-Thanks. -No need to thank me.
This was and still is your home.
If you need to stay the night--
It's quieter at night. I can work in my room.
Whatever you need.
Everything OK?
I'm glad you're here.
And I was a jerk and I'm sorry.
I know, you told me the next day, over the phone and by text.
Forget it.
OK, then.
Do you feel that way?
I know you said you were sorry.
But do you really feel that way?
Yes,
sometimes you're cold.
And sometimes I'm an idiot.
But things can change.
Even your career, Nerea.
You only studied law because your parents wanted you to.
Anyway, I'm going to get a drink, so you can work in peace.
Why the hell did you tell her she was a plaything?
-I didn't want to lie to her. -No.
If you want a relationship,
you can't use honesty as an excuse to say whatever the hell you want.
-There's this little thing called tact. -OK.
Do you think I don't know what a relationship is?
You're asking me?
I think that, in all of this, she's gambled a lot more than you
and lost a lot more than you.
Yeah, I know that.
Then you should also know that it's normal she's insecure.
Now, even more so.
OK, I get that, but I don't get why it has to be so complicated.
It would be much easier without all the drama.
Then why get involved with an unstable married woman
who was having a career crisis?
BORJA - HOW ARE YOU?
CARMEN - LONELY…
BETTER, THANKS…
OLGA - TWO MISSED CALLS
YOU ALIVE OR DO YOU WANT TO SKIP GOING OUT FOR A BEER?
Nerea, stop working. I have an idea. I'm calling Carmen.
CONGRATULATIONS, VALERIA! IMPOSTOR, VALERIA FÉRRIZ
IMPOSTOR, NEW REVIEWS
I READ IT IN ONE GO!
GREAT VACATION READ. WHEN IS PART TWO COMING OUT?
I LOVE THE CHARACTERS. WISH I KNEW A DICK LIKE HIM.
Valeria!
Val!
Val, come on!
-Hey! -Come down!
-Why? -Just come!
-We'll tell you later. -It's cold.
Calm down, I'll get my coat and come down.
-Come on! -Good!
-This is where Adrián and I… -Had sex for the first time.
You've told us so many times
I almost feel like I was the one in the car.
Víctor told Lola what happened with Adrián.
He is my friend.
Adrián says I act like I live in a novel.
You should stop worrying about what the secondary characters think
and start imagining who the main character is and what she wants.
We thought bringing you here was a good idea
because this is where you started with Adrián.
And now it'll be where you say goodbye to him.
It's over, Val.
OK, if we're going to do this, we have to do it right.
-Come on. -Really right.
-What? -Come on, come with us.
Come here.
-Get up there. -Yeah.
-What? -Get up on the bench.
-You're crazy! -Humor us a moment!
-Shout what you want to change. -I feel ridiculous.
-Stay there. -Know what's ridiculous?
Wearing a wedding ring months after you've separated.
Val, shout!
I want to be OK.
-We can't hear you. -Louder.
I want to be OK.
-Come on, shout. -Shout.
I want to be OK!
I want to stop caring what other people think.
I want to enjoy myself and my life!
I want to know who I am, who Valeria is.
Not Valeria and Adrián, not Valeria and Víctor, no!
Valeria!
Bravo!
Yes! That's right.
-Good job! That's right. -That was awesome!
Let's keep going! Who's next?
-I'll go. -Right now?
-I'll go. -All of us?
Let's see!
I want to live with Borja!
-OK. -I want to wake up with him every day.
Every day.
And I want him to take care of me when I'm sick.
That's right! Good job.
-That's what I want! -OK, my turn.
-OK. -Let's go.
I want to leave Sergio!
Hallelujah!
I'm great at giving advice to other people,
but what about me?
I want to be free again.
I want to travel!
-Wow! -Great.
Amazing.
-Fuck, that felt good! -Right?
-Go on! -What?
It's your turn.
-Yes. -Seriously?
-Yes. -We're serious.
You've gone too far.
Well,
I want to stop being so cold.
Good.
And I don't want to be a lawyer anymore.
I fucking hate it.
Yes!
-What do you want to be? -I want to be…
an event planner.
-Really? -Amazing!
I wasn't expecting that!
But…
It makes me happy and I'm good at it. I could start my own company.
I've made a business plan, and it's feasible.
If anyone can do it, it's you.
Thank you.
My event planner!
I'm taking her with me!
Good job, girls! So, we've all said it.
And now, bitches, we have to do it.
We have to do it.
I'm so tired of always waiting around
Let's do it!
I'm so tired of always searching
But now I'm done and I'm ready
I'm going to break up with you
My skin has swallowed all my scars
I've hurled myself Into the middle of my own highway
I'm in pieces My glass has shattered
My blood yells "light," my night agonizes
I'll rise up while I watch you fall
I'm going to stay awake I'm going to pay attention
I'm going to break up with you
And I'll light the sofa on fire…
-This dress isn't for me. -But…
And neither are you.
I don't understand.
Now that we can finally be--
That's the problem.
We've wanted to "be" for so long
that it's too late to be anything.
You, wiping away my tracks We're starting over
A million bottles have come to my door
With the same message Fear of living…
It's our password for the apartment-rental website.
Do you want to live with me in a bigger apartment?
Of course.
Excuse us.
Mónica.
Thank you, it's perfect. A real success.
I quit.
-What? -I quit.
I studied law because of my parents, but I hate it.
And, by the way, my name's Nerea.
I'm so tired of always waiting around…
-Yes! -Oh my God!
To our wedding.
To our marriage.
-They're beautiful. -Yes.
-They're gorgeous. -Thank you, Val.
I love you all.
All for one!
I'll never look back
Nothing is ever enough for you
You have to die to be able to start over
And I'll light the sofa on fire
