A NETFLIX SERIES
[Lola] That book isn't just yours.
It's mine.
- [Carmen] And mine. And Nerea's.
- [Valeria] I wrote it.
- [Lola sighs]
- [Carmen] Hey!
- What's wrong with you? You stopped it?
- I'm claustrophobic.
- [Valeria] What now? I'm gonna be late.
- I'm sorry, but this isn't only about you.
- Excuse me?
- We're sick and tired of you
- never taking what you really want.
- [sighs]
And on top of that,
leaving us long messages
because you can't trust yourself.
- Please let me out. I'm overwhelmed.
- What are you doing? Can you stop?
Val, we're just asking you
to be honest with yourself.
- Like you've been with Borja?
- Wow. That was a low blow.
- Sorry not all of us have your willpower.
- She doesn't have as much as you think.
- What are you talking about?
- You tell me.
I don't know what happened in Cambodia,
but for someone who just came out,
- you smell like a stuffy closet.
- Stop arguing. We won't solve anything.
Carmen is right. Val, you need
to tell us all what happened.

Girls, I'm back from Valencia
and sadly, also back to reality.
To the Plaza de la Memoria Trans, please.
You bet. Let's go.
[sighs]
I know I've been a bit MIA,
but I needed to disconnect
and to enjoy my little niece.
Oh! I'll send you a picture later,
she's getting so tall.
By the way, Carmen,
my sister loved your present.
And hey, if I'm being honest,
being in Valencia to think
hasn't been very useful.
I still haven't answered Víctor.
I can't deal with the pressure
of having the ball in my court.
Joaquín Ortal, vice president
of Jorge Rubio's company
- is waiting for you.
- Mm-hmm.
- If you'll follow me. This way.
- Fine, thanks.
[Valeria] I'm supposed
to earn my living writing,
but why can't I use words with him?
And I don't even wanna talk about the
other man who's keeping me awake:
Pierre Duvont.
Don't laugh, Nerea,
I know you think it's a ridiculous name.
Hey, hon. Bus, right?
[Valeria] Oh, Lola. I wish I was
as sure about things as you are.
- I went on down to Leon's place ♪
- Oh, yeah! Oh! Mm!

Subject, publishing dilemma.
All that stuff about writing
while you're starving
looks great in a biography.
But what do I do?
Should I sell my soul for the cash?
Or feel very righteous
while I drag a suitcase around Madrid?
Fuck.
Fucking bullshit.
Fucking stupid suitcase.
YOU - THREE WEEKS AGO
I'LL WAIT UNTIL YOU CALL ME, VALERIA.
BUT I WON'T WAIT FOREVER.
[phone alert]
LOLA: HI, HOW ARE YOU?
Wait, I'll send you an emoji.
- [laughs]
- I'm sorry, you're right.
You're the one who asked me to go
for a walk before I head back to work.
I know, I know.
Tell me about the big move.
- It's a mansion, right?
- It really is.
The studio renovated it
and my parents decided to keep it.
It's a mansion.
Yeah, sometimes they let me keep
the translation dossiers too.
It's just like you.
- [Víctor] Same thing.
- [Lola] Mm. [chuckles]
[both slurping]
[sighs]
What?
I swore to myself I wouldn't ask
But you can probably guess.
No. I have no idea, really.
- Yes, you do.
- No, really, I don't.
- Have you heard from Valeria?
- [laughs] Yep. I knew it.
She sent me an eight-minute voice message
a little while ago.
- How is she?
- No idea, I haven't listened to it.
I don't understand it. I don't.
She stopped returning my calls,
she's a disaster,
she's chaotic, clumsy, unreliable
And even so, I adore her.
That's my Val.
I don't wanna spend all my time
waiting for the phone to ring.
Look, as a friend of Valeria's,
I would say that she needs some time.
But now, as a friend of yours,
I would say
that it's time
you stopped looking at your phone.
Confiscate it. For today, confiscate it.
[sighs]
- [Valeria] Don't take pictures of me.
- [Adrián] Come on. Look at me.
- Don't take pictures of me.
- Look at the camera. Come on.
You don't have to do anything.
Look at the camera.
- I have to concentrate.
- It loves you.
- Don't, Adrián.
- No, you look great.
- Perfect.
- [Valeria] I don't want to.

- [Lola] Where are we going?
- [Valeria] Here, girls!
[Lola] Well, well! We have to do
an obstacle course to get to see you?
- [laughs]
- [Valeria] Please!
I was so looking forward to this!
[Lola] Wait a minute, I thought
we were going to a sidewalk cafe.
[Valeria] Hah. I'm totally broke.
This is way cheaper
- and it's so much nicer.
- Yeah, that's true.
[laughing] Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful.
But wait until Carmen gets here.
She'll leave this grass
looking like Swiss cheese.
Well, I brought gluten-free beer
and baby pickles.
Oh, my God, I could kiss you.
- Girls!
- [Lola] There she is!
- Look at that sexy swing. Hey, be careful!
- [all laughing]
- [Valeria] Hello!
- [Carmen] Aww! [laughs]
You could've told me
you were boozing in the park.
- I'd have brought my djembe.
- You're a bunch of snobs.
This is a picnic.
- Oh, and that's three euros each.
- Oh.
- Three?
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my beautiful Cambodian.
- Let's see.
- Hey!
- You're not very tan.
- [Valeria] No.
- Hey!
- It's good you came back.
We were about to put your photo
on milk cartons.
- I know I've been a little MIA.
- A little bit?
I wrote more than you,
and I was in another time zone.
- Well, how was Valencia? [sighs]
- Well, Valencia was fine.
Family and all that.
But what I need
is to hear more about you guys.
Hey, where have you been?
You look beautiful.
Yeah. Yeah.
Jorge Rubio told me you're one
of the most talented people he's ever met.
- Thank you.
- And the other is your work mate, Borja.
- That's why we offered him the job.
- Oh.
Uh interesting.
Uh No, I didn't
I didn't know about that.
Well, as you can understand,
we couldn't imagine
- you would change your mind.
- Of course.
Yeah, well, sometimes one needs
to reorganize one's priorities.
- Yeah.
- Yes. [chuckles]
[Joaquín] Hmm.
I just thought of something.
Why don't you present your ideas
for the launch of the new lipstick?
What?
Mm. We haven't signed
the contract with Borja yet.
I can ask him to do the same
and then make a decision.
- What's your problem? ♪
- Yeah! [chuckles]
Okay. Okay, yes, yes, I know.
I fucked up.
I don't know, I thought
he might ask us to share the job.
He met us as a team. [chuckles]
But I told him it was better
if I told Borja about it.
Yes, I know. All this might sound
a bit like backstabbing, okay, but
"Might"? No, it does.
- Well but they offered it to me first.
- Yeah, but you rejected it.
- Yeah, but it's complicated
- No, it's easy.
- A golden opportunity
- It's my job and my boyfriend
You'll leave your job
because of your boyfriend?
- No, it's
- Take a breath.
No, I will not! It's not fair.
He accepted the job without hesitation.
Why can't I do the same?
- Mm.
- You're right about that.
- Ugh.
- How did he react when you told him?
It's You know
What's your problem? ♪
[woman] Your family name?
- Ferrer.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Borja] Here it is.
- Got it.
[Borja] Great. Do you like it here?
[woman] Yes, I really do.
[Borja groans] Sorry,
I've got a bad toothache.
- Do you want a painkiller?
- No, I have an appointment with a dentist.
- I'm sure he'll understand.
- You lied to him. That's not cool.
OK, you're right, I'm a horrible person.
- You're not.
- I'm not saying that.
And you, relax.
You've come from a warm climate,
but you're colder than ever.
- Did something happen with you and Gloria?
- Nothing. Everything's okay.
- Aren't you gonna tell us about the trip?
- Let's talk about the important thing.
- What are you gonna do with Pierre Duvont?
- I already told you in the voicemails.
I've had my phone on airplane mode.
No, I can't lie to you.
I haven't listened to it.
And then you tell me
I've been missing in action.
- Yeah.
- Mm?
Me neither.
Lately, I just haven't stopped working.
Non-stop.
What, what, what's your problem? ♪
What's your problem? ♪
What's your problem? ♪
[moaning] Oh, yeah!
- What's your problem? ♪
- I am so exhausted.
Well, I told you
that I still don't know what to do.
I need the money,
but Impostor is very personal.
I'd take the money without thinking.
Look at me. I don't have a job
and I'm living for free at Lola's.
It's not only about the money.
That novel cost me my marriage.
And it's called Impostor. Signing it
with a pseudonym would be horrible.
[dog barking]
[sighs]
If you'd listened to my message,
you'd know that's not the only thing
I'm worrying about.
Let me guess. Uh Green eyes?
- I know, and you've ignored him for weeks.
- So he told you?
- I went to look for him at his new office.
- What, what, what ♪
What, what, what's your problem? ♪
Can I help you with something?
- Hi.
- Hi.
Yes.
Yes, yes. Look Um
- I'm looking for Víctor Andradas.
- The father or the son?
I hope he's just the son. [chuckles]
Just one moment.
[phone alert]
ADRI: HOW WAS VALENCIA?
YOUR MOM TOLD ME YOU'RE BACK IN MADRID.
[Víctor] Dad!
- Call you later.
- Hey, Dad.
Yeah. What's up?
- You wanted to show me something?
- Yeah. Look at this.

Can do it like that ♪
I got a text from Adrián.
It overwhelmed me.
You're separated.
You can do whatever you want.
Yeah, but I can't help feeling
I'm betraying him in some way.
That's only in your head.
[dog barking]
What's up with you?
You're more worried about how your ex is
than how the guy you like is.
- [sighs]
- It's not fair for him,
and it's not fair for you, Val.
Yeah. Yeah, I know that.
But he kind of makes me nervous, and
also a bit
You know what I mean.
Horny.
- [all laughing]
- Oh, my God.
You don't say. I'm sending you the address
of his new mansion right now.
- I think about Víctor and

RENOUNCES IN FAVOR OF PIERRE DUVON
[sighs]
It must have printed out wrong.
- The résumé?
- Yes.
Here I just see one job
and some volunteer work.
The rest of your work history is missing.
It doesn't matter.
You can tell me too.
I was an assistant
at the Bernal and Associates firm
and I was a coordinator
at the feminist association in Lavapiés.
And?
And?
That's also what it says here.
Is that your whole professional career?
Well, I've only worked at one firm,
but I've got experience in commercial,
civil, family,
real estate cases and trials
At the law firm of your parents.
I mean, I'm a lawyer.
My parents have a law firm.
To be honest,
knowing the law inside and out,
I didn't think that would matter.

Don't worry, it's not about the agency.
It's about Joaquín Ortal.
- Joaquín Ortal?
- Yes. Mm Let's see.
I know he offered you
a job at his company. [chuckles]
But as it turns out,
he'd already extended the same job offer
- to, uh another person.
- Another?
Yes. And that person,
for several reasons
Well, they weren't able
to sort out their priorities in time.
And, well, after thinking it through,
they've gone back
and asked for the job again.
- My job?
- Yes, your job.
Mm. [chuckles]
And that person
[suction bubbling]
is me.
- Really?
- [chuckles]
I knew you'd be upset,
but I really want the job.
- I'm just as qualified as you.
- And you're just telling me now?
- But
- Uh, wait.
- Okay, listen. Excuse me
- You said great opportunity
- This is too much? Okay?
- Then you said opportunity yourself
- You see?
- See how you're reacting?

It was just the first interview.
- If they all go like this one
- Gotta trust.
The measurements on the tag are wrong.
This sofa's not two meters long.
No it's not the measurement.
It's the price. 2,000 euros.
Oh, shit.
I still think it would be better
if we went to IKEA.
At IKEA, they might as well send you
to chop the tree down yourself.
I know this place.
It's worth what it costs.
I know. But a little tight
for the both of us, right?
We're not looking
for a sofa for the both of us.
We're looking for a sofa for you.
Well, then, if it's for me,
I'll buy it at IKEA.
Hey, is something wrong?
Well, yes. You're doing the same thing
you did on our trip.
- Oh, and what was that, if I might ask?
- Make me feel like a posh little brat.
Then maybe you should stop
acting like a posh little brat.
[scoffs] Well, forgive me
if I like comfortable sofas
and drinking bottled water
in Southeast Asia.
Yeah. And foamy coffee,
and hairdresser shampoo,
- and fancy craft beer in a bottle.
- Canned beer just tastes like metal.
Well, Nerea, welcome
to the middle class, my dear.
- [distant siren wailing]
- [horn blares]
I got it.
A Rioja, special reserve.
Wow, I didn't know
you knew about wine, sommelier.
And I don't. I took the most expensive.
- [both laugh]
- Oh.
Hey, why don't we have dinner
at your place? I'm starving.
Who are you and where is Sergio?
I thought you didn't want any movies,
or dinners, or plans as a couple.
Uh This is not romance.
- No?
- It's sheer survival.
- Mm.
- I had to go to a work thing,
a lunch meeting
- and you know how much energy we spend.
- [laughs]
Would you mind
grabbing me another bottle of wine?
- Another one?
- I'm really thirsty.
- [Sergio] Thirsty?
- [Lola] Yes, yes, yes, yes.
It's that way. The wine.
[both laugh]
Oh! Hey, what are you doing here?
I live with you.
This is our local supermarket.
Tell me it's not strange
to only drink bottled beer.
I Uh Weren't you going
to spend the night with Gloria?
I'm tired and I'd rather stay home.
My day was a disaster.
Yeah. Well,
all the more reason to see Gloria.
But I I don't feel like it.
Well, I think that you should have Gloria
show you some love.
Have her go down on you.
- Let's have dinner.
- I can't.
- I have to translate another conference.
- Now?
In fact, it's really late.
Take this home, please.
- Thanks. I love you.
- And the cart?
No, it's not mine. [laughs]
I don't know what I was thinking.
Bye.
- I'm buying you dinner.
- Aren't we going to your place?
If you're really hungry,
you don't want me to cook.
- Yeah, but come on, a bottle of wine
- I said we're going. You'll love it.
- Not even a minute
- No.
- Uh, sure
- Lola?
Oh, hey.
I'm Sergio.
Nerea.
How many people
are you making guacamole for?
I don't know, sometimes people show up.
People you didn't think were coming.
Like, ever.
[Carmen] I think the clients
were quite happy, right?
- [woman] Yes.
- [Carmen] Really?
- [woman] Totally.
- Are you satisfied with how it went?
- Yes, the event was a complete success.
- That's great.
Absolutely. And now, I want
the two of you to create a market report
for the shampoo brand
that's number one in Europe.
This would be a very good one for Carmen.
- She's capable of doing things on her own.
- Oh, yes.
But, see, in the market,
there are lots of shampoos.
I think the report should reflect how
not to feel threatened by them.
Who better to talk about shampoo than
someone who likes stepping on heads?
- Wow, you've been thinking about that.
- While you were kissing her ass.
- [woman] Okay, okay.
- I see what
Is someone going to tell me
what's going on?
Fine. Whatever it is, you must solve it
and do the report together.
Guys, you know, you are both good.
But as a duo, you're better.
[gasps] Good Lord.
- You go.
- No, go on.
- Go on, now.
- Fine!

OOPS! NO BALANCE REMAINING!
I've been waiting more than a month
for you to call,
to text, to give me a fucking like.
What do I do with all that?
Give me more time?
When you care about someone,
you're patient with them.
I didn't even know if you were in Valencia
or if you'd gone back to Adrián.
- You could have asked Lola.
- And I did.
I don't want to know
about you through Lola.
[sighs] Fine, then.
I'll sum it up for you.
I have a beautiful new niece.
Her name is Mar.
I came back here and I still don't know
what I'm doing with my book.
I'm not with Adrián.
And I just made
the biggest fool of myself.
You haven't made a fool of yourself, Val.
She's Virginia's just a friend.
Just a friend?
Yes, she's
Well, okay, uh, but
Do we really need
to talk about this right now?
No. No, you should go back in,
be with your friend.
- Val, you have no right to be angry.
- No, I can be angry.
Even if it's not allowed.
Now, if you don't mind,
I wanna go home, okay?
- Do you want me to call a taxi?
- No.
No taxi. Look, I'm broke.
Until I sign with the publisher,
I'll have to take the bus.

- Yay!
- Hello.
[laughs] Sorry. Borja's still angry at me,
and working like this is impossible.
- Still fighting?
- Hello. Yes.
This afternoon, we have to finish a report
and I have no idea how to do it.
Oh, my God.
- [groans] Am I late?
- You are.
We haven't ordered yet,
we're waiting on Val.
- Sushi?

No, something cheap and filling.
I'm hungry.
- Oh, thanks!
- Oh, look at this. Podcast from Valeria.
- By the time we finish, she'll be here.
- Here we go.
[Valeria] Hey, girls.
- I'm not coming to lunch.

I decided to sign
the publisher's contract.
You guys know this is so personal to me,
and it cost me my marriage, but [sighs]
To run away with dignity,
you need to be able to take a taxi.
- Of course.
- What is she saying?
- Shh!
- I have to go. I don't wanna be late.
I'll tell you about it later.
- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- If you think she's right, yes.
- She can't sign.
- She'll regret it.
- Something's wrong.
- She's broke.
- She said something about a taxi
- Listen again.
it cost me my marriage, but [sighs]
To run away with dignity,
you need to be able to take a taxi.
- She's crying.
- That's impossible to know. Hamburgers?
Her voice is trembling, like when
she watches Christmas lottery commercials.
Or when we got her
a Save the Children donation.
We also got her that rouge from Chanel.
- I know. But it was from the donation.
- I'm not so sure about that.
The number you are calling
- She turned her phone off. Bitch.
- She knew we'd call.
Or maybe she's in the subway
and you're just being paranoid.
- Fries or wedges?
- Do you know where the publisher is?
- I do.
- Well, that's it.
- Are you kidding?
- No, we're going.
- No, really?
- Come on, Nerea, let's go.
- Hey, we're going to eat.
- Let's go.
- I just ordered!
- I don't care.
- [Lola] Don't worry, it's fine.
- Oh, my God.
- [Lola] Don't do it!
- Lola Sorry, it's an emergency.
- Don't do it!
- What are you doing here?
You're making a mistake.
- Weren't you having lunch?
- That's what I said.
You don't want to sign those papers.
I know you, redhead.
Maybe you don't know me.
I dye my hair.
- Please!
- Really? It doesn't matter.
That book is not Duvont's.
It's the last year of your life.
- It can't have someone else's name.
- Sorry.
It's my book. I can do what I want.
That book isn't just yours. It's mine too.
- And mine. And Nerea's.
- I wrote it.
Sure.
Hey!
- What's wrong with you? You stopped it?
- I'm claustrophobic.
- [Valeria] What now? I'm gonna be late.
- I'm sorry, but this isn't only about you.
- Excuse me?
- We're sick and tired of you
never taking what you really want.
On top of that, leaving us long messages
because you can't trust yourself.
I can't.
- Please let me out. I'm overwhelmed.
- What are you doing? Can you stop?
Val, we're just asking you
to be honest with yourself.
- Like you've been with Borja?
- That was a low blow.
- Sorry not all of us have your willpower.
- She doesn't have as much as you think.
- What are you talking about?
- You tell me.
I don't know what happened in Cambodia,
but for someone who just came out,
- you smell like a stuffy closet.
- Stop arguing. We won't solve anything.
Carmen is right.
Val, you need
to tell us all what happened.
[sighs]
I went to find Víctor,
but he was with a woman.
That's it?
No guy is ever worth
you devaluing yourself.
[sighs]
- Lola's still seeing Sergio.
- You're such a prick.
You could use
some of the tips you're giving to Valeria.
- Okay?
- Aren't you hot in here?
That's accurate. I'm still seeing Sergio,
- but it's just to fuck.
- You didn't tell us.
- I didn't want you to judge me.
- Or you didn't wanna hear the truth.
[sighs]
[all sighing]
Fuck.
[sighs]
[groans]
[Carmen] Well, then, look.
If we're going to be honest about things,
I'm not sure I'm capable of making
my relationship with Borja survive.
[Nerea] You gifted me
a trip I didn't enjoy.
Gloria and I have nothing in common.
We're not even capable of deciding
whether or not we wanna share a sofa.
Come here.
- Carmen.
- Hmm?
You are one of the three
most brilliant people that I know.
If you're not capable of balancing
your personal relationship and your work,
then I don't know who is.
[chuckles]
Lola, Sergio is a shithead
and you know it.
- He's a shithead.
- Mm.
- Mm, but with a beautiful cock, though.
- [both chuckle]
No cock is worth putting up
with what he does to you.
And, Nerea,
if you're incapable of sharing
the sofa with someone,
maybe that someone
is not cut out for you, hmm?
[sighs]
- It's not about taking a taxi.
- What?
[lift power switches on]
- [sighs]
- In the voicemail, you said that,
"To run away with dignity,
one has to be able to afford a taxi."
Mm.
Maybe what we need to do is
stop running.
[sighs]
[elevator bell chimes]
said, and then
- Aah Uh
- [clears throat]
