A NETFLIX SERIES
[man echoing] Fernando Mejía,
do you take Isabel Jiménez
to be your lawfully wedded wife?
[Nando echoing] I do.
[heart monitor beeping]
[thunder rumbling]
[Emma echoing] Nando!
We need to talk.
Ah, leave me alone.
[Rubén] Emma, you can't change anything.
You're not gonna have children with Nando.
Who the hell do you think you are?
You comprehend nothing.
Who did you leave behind
on July 27, 2018 at 9:30?
Who did you leave?
I'll tell it all to Nando,
and he'll believe me
because he knows I'm not crazy.
[dramatic music playing]
[birds tweeting]
[Emma breathing heavily]
[exhales sharply, panting]
INCOMING CALL
[mobile ringing]
- [Isa] Hmm.
- Hello?
[Emma] Good morning.
I was calling Isa,
but she's not picking up.
Ah. Emma. She wants to talk to you.
I'll put you on speaker.
Hello, Emma. [clears throat]
So sorry, I was in the bathroom.
- What do you need?
- [Emma chuckles]
What are you having for breakfast?
Uh
Well, some fruit, muesli, ginger,
oatmeal, bran. Some of that chia.
All those things
you send me every week, sweetheart.
Oh, Isa, uh, later I'll be taking
my my father to the nutritionist.
And I have some free time.
I don't know if you want
to come with me to yoga.
- [Nando] Mmm. Mmm..
- Um, well
Honestly, that'd be awesome
because Nando has a meeting
and my parents are gone.
But are you sure you want me to come?
Yes, of course I'm sure.
I'll pick you up later.
- [Nando] Kisses.
- Okay. Kisses to both of you.
And no more baked goods.
- [Nando sighs]
- [Isa chuckles]
[Emma breathes deeply]
[gentle music playing]
FIRST MONTH!
2ND MONTH OF PREGNANCY
TALK TO ISA
SHE NEEDS TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF HERSELF
3RD MONTH OF PREGNANCY
BOY, GIRL? IT'S THEM
I HAVE TO TALK TO ISA
REMIND NANDO TO TAKE CARE OF ISA
4TH MONTH OF PREGNANCY
THE LITTLE ONES CAN BE SEEN!
EVERYTHING'S GOING GREAT!
See? You've lowered your cholesterol
and lost some weight.
I'm feeling really good. But do you think
I'm losing too much weight on this diet?
Now that you say it, honey,
you look a bit thin.
But I'm not surprised
with that weird food you send us, Emma.
It's called detox.
Call it whatever you want,
but it's pretty weird.
The cookies will make you sick.
Um, pay no attention. You look great.
You look like the Seville's Richard Gere.
- [chuckles]
- Oh. But I love Richard Gere.
- Mmm!
- [Pacita chuckles]
Listen, I just want
to see your mother content. Hmm?
- [Cayetano chuckles]
- [Pacita sighs]
[instructor] Raise arms. Warrior one.
Three breaths.
[whispers] Is it true? You really
got your dad a personal trainer?
How'd you find out?
Because I ran into your mother.
- [Emma] Oh.
- She mentioned your keeping him in line.
[instructor] Open arms. Warrior two.
The trainer's so he won't skip
his workout classes and stays invested.
And the nurse monitors
his blood pressure and sugar.
[instructor]
Now rest on your bent leg and stretch.
She said another thing.
What are you saying?
[chuckles]
You know. The other thing.
[chuckles] She told you about that?
I can't believe
you're putting restrictions on them.
Well, I think a little bit
of abstinence is good. It's healthy.
Okay.
And the important thing
is that on the 31st of December,
my father will be healthy.
Hmm.
- [mobile ringing]
- [dramatic stinger]
[Emma] My mom? Huh. How weird.
[Nando] Eight.
- [Emma chuckles]
- [all] seven, six, five, four
Hi, Mom. What's up?
Aren't you eating your grapes?
one
- [all] Happy new year!
- [fireworks bursting]
- [Nando] Whoo! [chuckles]
- [Mario] Yay!
- [Mía] Daddy, pick me up.
- [Nando] Come here.
Dad what?
[dramatic stinger]
[instructor] Now rise. Bend your legs.
Let's go to goddess.
[Emma breathes deeply]
From that point on, it'll get better.
- [Isa] I can't wait for the holidays.
- [Emma] Mmm.
- Speaking of which. What are you doing?
- [Isa sighs] Mmm.
I have a house you'll love.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
[Isa] Oh.
- Is it near the sea?
- [Emma] Near the sea, a fantastic view
- [Isa] Oh.
- I've talked to the agency.
And they'll send us a cook
to make healthy meals for us. Come.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Great.
[gasps] You can't forget
to take your vitamins with you, all right?
[Isa sighs]
There's no pharmacies.
- Okay. I'll take more than enough.
- Attagirl.
- Oh, Emma.
- Hmm?
Thanks for inviting us.
And for caring so much.
[Isa exhales]
I don't believe it.
- It's just a little slice
- Rubén!
Emma.
It's been three months already.
And the police have looked for him and
no sign.
- He'll be back. You'll see.
- Hmm.
Well, shall we?
- [Isa] Yeah.
- Let's go. Do you need help?
I think he does it on purpose.
Ugh! Men are just so frustrating.
Let's go.
[Isa chuckles]
[Isa over speaker]
Honey, listen. He was hurt.
You rejected him, so he ran away from you.
But if you have a fling with someone else,
he'll come crawling back. [chuckles]
Let's go, driver.
[car engine turns over]
[traditional music playing]
[elevator dings]
[man] Are you saying
we've lost all the materials?
I can't believe it!
Are you messing with me?
Prepare yourself, Emma. It's awful.
A hacker has tried to steal
the server passwords.
- What are you saying?
- Truth is I don't have a clue either.
But they tried to sneak into the system.
Well, that's what I've been told.
I don't know. Look at our tech support.
They're running around
like headless chickens.
No one's been able to work all day.
It's a disaster, Emma.
- [Emma] We'll cancel the trip.
- [Alfredo] No. I'll stay here.
- You need to get away.
- [Emma] No. Either we all go, or we stay.
Adrián, hello. How long
will it take you to check the system?
It's serious. Is it possible
to come change the passwords?
Okay. Perfect.
And if we need to hire people, then do it.
Call me if there's any news, all right?
Well, it'll be fixed in two days.
Now you can't tell me you're not coming.
[Nando] Hey!
Hey, guys. How about we have a race?
First one to the orange buoy,
not the yellow one, the orange one, wins.
All right, but loser pays
for seafood dinner.
You're gonna lose!
- Oh, we'll see about that!
- [all chuckling]
- [Isa] But won't the water be too cold?
- Guys, guys, say hello to the camera.
Don't get any of
our spare tires, Cayetano.
[all chuckle]
[Isa] Come on, let's go.
[Pacita chuckles]
Uh, no! No, no, no, no, no.
No. Okay. No. Cut it, cut it. I don't
[Emma shrieks]
[Emma shrieks]
Ugh. I win!
- Watch out, watch out, watch out.
- [Andrés and Emma chuckling]
What were you guys thinking out there?
That you'd be the only ones
having a good time? Well, no.
Where's Nando?
I don't know, but he's paying for dinner.
He was right there.
He was just right there.
[Emma] Nando!
Nando?
Nando!
Nando!
[tense music builds]
[Emma echoing] Nando.
- [Isa] Where are you?
- [Deme] Emma.
- [woman] 190, 160.
- [Isa] Emma.
[Nando] Emma!
Here I am, Emma. What are you doing?
[Isa] Emma!
- [Deme] Nando!
- [Emma] Nando!
[Andrés] Nando. Breathe, please.
- [Nando] Emma, I'm here.
- [Andrés] Nando!
Nando, wake up.
[Nando] Emma!
- [Andrés] Nando. Nando.
- [Nando] Emma, I'm here waiting for you.
[uplifting music playing]
[Emma] Nando.
What are you doing there
like an idiot? [chuckles]
- Are you ticklish?
- What?
[both chuckling]
[Nando echoing] You've found me at last.
[uplifting music continues]
[Isa] Nando.
[Deme] Nando.
- [Andrés] Nando.
- [all] Nando!
[Isa] Nando, please. Nando, honey.
- Calm down, Nando. Calm down.
- [Isa] Are you all right?
[Isa] Darling, breathe, breathe.
- He's in shock, swallowed water.
- [Isa] You all right?
- [Nando inhales]
- [Isa exhales] That was scary. My God.
- [Nando breathing shakily]
- [gentle music playing]
[Nando] Emma.
Emma.
Emma.
[whimsical music playing]
Emma?
Isa.
Isa.
- Yeah. I'm here.
- [Nando exhales]
[Nando] Isa.
[Nando exhales]
[Pacita] No. Better this way, Dad. Yes.
[Isa blows kiss]
- [Andrés] Mmm.
- [Nando scoffs, sucks teeth]
- Dad, better this way, I think.
- Uh-huh.
[all chuckling]
[Deme] Ah!
[Pacita] Okay. Now cut it.
[Andrés] That's nice, right?
[Pacita] I look so old.
That's not what I see.
My love,
you're like a mermaid on the shoreline.
- [Pacita] Mmm.
- Mmm. [chuckles]
But your little mermaid
has some competition, eh?
- What?
- Huh?
That one over there. [kisses]
- [all chuckle]
- [Deme] Nando, you were pretty out of it.
"Emma, Isa. Emma, Isa." I can't. Ah!
Yeah, right. I wasn't saying "Emma."
I was saying "Epa, Epa."
[Alfredo chuckles]
Back off. Leave him alone.
He's had a big scare today.
You guys want to see a scare?
I'll show you. Now watch this.
[Isa chuckles]
There he goes, there he goes.
[upbeat Spanish music playing]
[Isa screams]
Oh my God!
- [Emma chuckles] I wish, Dad.
- Ay!
[Isa inhales]
- [groans]
- What's up, Isa?
I don't know.
It might have been a kick.
- Really?
- Yeah. Feel.
Ah. Right over here.
- [Isa] Feel it?
- They're in there dancing the flamenco.
- [Alfredo vocalizes]
- [Isa chuckles]
Emma, come here.
Thank you.
[gentle music playing]
[chuckles gently]
[Emma] I can't trust anyone.
I want them back, Mario and Mía.
I want my children.
That's the only thing I ask for
and it's not possible because it's just
Calm down. Come on.
Easy, easy. Emma, Emma.
- [Andrés] It's all right.
- [Emma] I'm not going crazy. Trust me.
- I'm not crazy.
- [Deme] You're not. Of course not.
[Emma] No.
This is because of the Blood Moon.
- It's because of the Blood Moon.
- [Andrés] Of course you're not crazy.
[Alfredo] Emma to twins.
Emma to twins.
This is your favorite auntie speaking.
[chuckles]
Once you're finished,
I'll sing them the Betis anthem.
[Isa chuckles]
Did you guys come up with any names?
[gentle music continues]
[all] Aw!
- [Nando] A cake.
- [Alfredo] Ooh!
[Cayetano] How sweet. [chuckles]
- [all] Aw!
- [Nando] Congratulations.
Aw, honey, you remembered.
[Cayetano chuckles]
[Pacita] You're so good to us.
How could I forget something so important?
- [Pacita sighs]
- It's your anniversary.
- [all chuckling, applauding]
- [Deme] All right.
Oh wow.
Wow, how wonderful. Thirty-five years.
That is quite the accomplishment, right?
Look there. Look, look, look.
Wow. That's it. Fierce.
[Alfredo and Cayetano chuckle]
Kids, kids, excuse me.
Excuse me if I get cheesy, but, uh
I want to tell you that
until I found Pacita Hmm?
- My life before then
- [Pacita sighs]
I lived my life like some kind of
A castaway, right?
Like a castaway or like a pirate,
Don Cayetano?
[all chuckle]
And Pacita made me her husband
and a father to Emma.
And those are the titles
that I'm most proud of.
- Not professor, not anything.
- [Alfredo chuckles]
- [Alfredo] Nice.
- [Isa] Aw.
[Cayetano] It's the truth.
Without you two, I'd be nothing.
[all] Aw.
- [Cayetano] It's true.
- [dramatic stinger]
- [Emma] What's the matter?
- [Pacita] I don't know.
- He's bad. He suddenly collapsed.
- Have you called an ambulance?
Yes. They're on their way,
but he's really ill.
- Oh my God.
- [Pacita sobbing]
[Pacita sniffles, sobbing]
Daddy?
[exhales]
[dramatic stinger]
[Emma crying]
Is everything all right?
I'm fine. [chuckles]
Are you sure?
Of course I am.
I'm happy to see you two so content.
[Alfredo] What the heck's going on here?
Let's go. It's time to dance.
May I have a dance with your fine lady?
Uh, of course not.
- [Emma chuckles] That's rude, Dad.
- No way.
[upbeat music playing]
[exhales]
Alfredo, what's this music?
We've come here to chill.
Come on, pal.
Don't be such a party pooper. Let's dance.
[chuckles]
[Andrés humming]
Let me tell you something.
If you don't ask me to dance,
that waiter there will.
Look at him. And he's really handsome.
Come on. Let's dance, guys.
Dance, my love?
Uh, sure. In a second, huh?
- You coming?
- In a bit.
- Okay.
- Okay.
So handsome.
[upbeat music continues]
[exhales]
[Andrés] Whoo!
[snoring]
[Pacita] Caye!
- We had such a great time.
- Shh! Shh! Shut up.
[Pacita] What?
[whimsical music playing]
What's that?
This? I bought it for our anniversary.
You like it?
[Emma sucks teeth]
I think that this might be
- What?
- a little much.
Really?
It's best if you
if you sleep in my room. Okay, Mom?
What? Honey, what is this?
Trust me, okay? It's for the best.
- Come on!
- No. I'm sleeping here in this bed.
Mom, please. Not now. Do you want
to send him to the grave? Do you?
Don't you realize that after
everything he's eaten, the emotions,
if he sees you like this,
he'll have a stroke.
[Cayetano snoring]
- Move it. Now.
- [Pacita grunts]
Emma.
- Shh.
- Acting like this is not normal.
- But, Mom.
- You gonna stand guard at the door?
I'm asking you for a favor.
[sighs] I thought that
you'd brought us on a vacation.
But you brought us to a convent, though.
[Nando sighs]
[Nando exhales]
[chuckles]
Oh shit!
- [Emma chuckles]
- [Nando exhales]
That was scary. What are you doing here?
[chuckles] I wanna be here.
I'm gonna get another drink. Want one?
Here's to us.
[Nando exhales]
Mía and Mario.
[acoustic guitar playing]
That's what we're naming the twins.
Isa loves the names, so that's it.
[bottle clanks]
Look. I can't wait to know
what'll happen on July 27th, 2018
at 9:30.
What happens, Emma?
Tell me what happens.
Are we gonna be together?
Is that Is that what happens?
I can't stop thinking about you.
[chuckles]
[gasps] Okay. Please stop now.
- Why stop?
- What do you mean?
First you cheated on me with her.
And now you want to cheat on her with me?
But don't you see
that I regret breaking up with you?
Can't you see
you're gonna be a father soon?
- You won't do to Isa what you did to me.
- Listen to me.
You, at my wedding,
said you would tell me everything.
All of it.
So you can just start talking.
Who are Mía and Mario?
[gentle music playing]
The night of the eclipse
was the last time I saw our children.
That's why you chased me through the hotel
in Paris like a crazy woman?
Yeah. [chuckles]
Yeah.
Yeah.
It bothered me
thinking I would never see them.
[scoffs]
Now I understand why you feel so excited
about Isa giving birth to twins.
Was I that mean to you?
Did I hurt you that bad?
[exhales]
I'm so sorry, my Emma.
I'm so sorry for hurting you so bad.
I mean it.
And I haven't quit loving you
for a single day. Not one.
Nando.
Emma.
[gentle music builds]
[mobile ringing]
[Nando] Hello, honey. How are you feeling?
Uh, no. I just got up early
to stop by the bakery and then
[Emma chuckles]
It was closed.
Stupid me. I'm such an idiot.
Everything's okay. Totally fine. What?
To buy what?
I know. I know.
Such an idiot.
I almost fell for you again.
[Nando] Yeah, yeah. On my way.
Now go back to bed.
Emma.
Emma!
[church bell ringing in the distance]
NOVEMBER 20TH, 2016
[gasps]
[inhales]
- What?
- Emma Castellanos?
You located Rubén?
Please sit down.
- [chair drags]
- [table thuds]
Tell me what your relationship is
with Rubén Maier.
I already told your colleagues
a thousand times when he went missing.
Is he all right?
How about you just answer my questions?
You won't tell me what happened?
I asked you to answer.
What's your relationship with Mr. Maier?
We're business partners.
You can read it in the reports
I filled out earlier.
[agent] How many years have you known him?
Uh, starting in 2008.
Yeah. Eight years ago.
How did you meet, and where was it?
It was a bar. Well, no, no.
There was once before then.
At a sanitarium we were in together.
And then the last time was at a hotel,
but then I never saw him after that.
Can you tell me what's going on?
Because I'm starting to get
really pretty frightened about this.
You think the competition
is suing us for more money?
Eh, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
They got plenty.
Well, then, this isn't the first time
we've had problems
because of your big ideas.
Stop making up more drama.
We've always made deals
with other companies
and nothing happened. Nothing.
- [Isa] Hmm.
- [Alfredo murmurs]
What do you think?
This doesn't have anything to do
with the competition.
It's about Rubén. [inhales]
Excuse me.
Yes, yes. You. Just one thing.
Do you know if we're here
about Rubén Maier?
- I don't know. They don't tell me.
- "I don't know. They don't tell me."
Buddy, I want you to give us
an explanation for this right now!
- Look. I'm telling you. If you think
- [Deme] Alfredo! Where's Emma?
Well, we don't know
because this nice gentleman
won't let us see her or tell us why.
- We think they're questioning her.
- No, no, no. Absolutely not.
I'm her lawyer.
I have to be let in there with her.
[Samuel] Keep calm.
Agent, inform your superior
that I want to talk to him right away.
I'm Samuel Olivar.
Emma Castellanos works with my sons.
[gentle music playing]
I'll tell them right away, Minister.
[agent] Why is July 27, 2018,
an important date for you?
[monitor beeping]
Come again?
No. Uh, I don't know.
That date appears in all confidential
documents on your hard drive.
And on the computer of Rubén Maier.
Oh, so you're the one's who tried
to break into our system, huh?
Ah.
[door opens]
You're planning to do something
on July 27th at 9:30.
[echoing] What is it? We know Rubén Maier
had a chip with compromised information.
Do you know where he keeps that chip?
Where is Mr. Maier's chip?
Why is that date so important? Answer me!
A party.
I told them we're planning a party.
And is that true?
Of course. [chuckles]
We're celebrating the tenth anniversary
of the company, right?
Amen.
Sure. We need to party.
Can't be all work, kiddo. So
What's so special about that date?
Well, at half-past nine,
there'll be an eclipse. The Blood Moon.
Uh
Isn't that the same date
that's on your tattoo, honey?
Is it?
Uh, yeah, my love.
It's supposed to give us good luck.
Didn't you know that? You knew that.
Yeah.
What's so special about that day?
Am I missing something?
Let's go. These places
give me the heebie-jeebies, huh?
Come. Come on.
[gentle music playing]
[telephone ringing]
Where's the minister?
[Alfredo] I'll distract their bodyguards.
I don't trust these people one bit.
Hello, good morning.
Welcome to Connect Moon. Coffee?
Samuel. Thank you so much for everything.
Really. Um, so sorry to waste your time.
No problem. You all right?
[Emma] I'll be fine.
You two are getting along well.
We must talk about Rubén.
[Deme] You'd better sit down, Emma.
Sit down and hold on to the chair.
Rubén works for an intelligence agency.
- [Deme] My love.
- Whoa.
- What? You mean he currently "works"?
- Mm-hmm.
- Is this bad?
- [Samuel] We don't have that information.
But we do know that Rubén
was a very important person for Spain.
And international security.
[Andrés] He's arrested
international terrorists.
- He intercepted terrorist attacks.
- Andrés. Can you quit it?
- I'm done now.
- Really?
[Samuel] Hold on a minute.
Rubén had been overseeing
international security
until the day he disappeared.
It's important that stays secret.
Understood?
- Andrés?
- Hmm?
Secret's safe with me.
[elevator dings]
No. I think it was that the police saw
the same date on my computer and Rubén's,
and they thought that, I don't know,
that I was involved in
[inhales] in one of his missions.
And if they heard you talking
about Blood Moons and stuff like that,
then I'm sure you confused them
more than you can imagine.
That's true. But listen.
Perhaps you could have chosen
a different date for the company party.
- Uh-huh.
- [Emma] Speaking of parties.
We're going to Vientos del Sur
for New Year's Eve.
Oh! But but that's still a month away.
No, no, no, no.
We'll probably stay at home that night.
Do you know how excited I am
about us all being together? Hmm?
Deme's father even said
he's coming. [chuckles]
Well, don't worry about, uh
I'll try to convince your mother.
- [Pacita] Ah, Caye.
- [Emma chuckles]
We'll think about it.
Well, I have to go.
I miss you guys. I love you.
[Pacita] Bye.
[exhales]
[sighs]
[exhales]
- [box clatters]
- Oh!
