I'm Going to Survive

A NETFLIX SERIES
Will you marry me?
[cutlery crashes]
[suspenseful music plays]
We're waiting for an answer.
Aren't we, Eloísa?
[suspenseful music builds]
I accept.
[gasps]
[thunder claps]
We must hold the wedding at once.
- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
A storm is coming.
Mercury retrograde begins
in a couple of days.
Your mother's right, darling.
Getting married while Mercury
is in retrograde is an awful idea.
What about love?
It'll come.
Or not.
[thunder rumbles]
[gulps]
To the bride and groom.
To them!
[narrator] Faced with
the impending wedding,
Eloísa went to get answers
from the only person in town
who could help her.
[man] Get away from the windows!
Always in the darkness ♪
[man 1] Take shelter in your homes!
Voices are totally senseless ♪
[woman] Everyone take cover!
And silence is everything ♪
A hero in its own abyss ♪
[thunder rumbling]
In his lifeless and dull eyes ♪
Eternal punishment awaits ♪
The hero of this legend ♪
Belongs to the
Unstoppable dream of fate ♪
Where did you get that?
I stole it.
- I have
- Nausea?
Dizziness?
Evil within?
No.
Make yourself puke.
I have a bad feeling.
Hush.
[ominous music plays]
[mumbling] Give it here.
[gurgling]
[moans]
Commander! They're retreating! We won!
Well done, Diego. Good job.
You did it.
You became a real man.
Masculinity is a social construct.
What's wrong?
I've always liked this pendant.
It's a very special amulet.
- [explosion]
- [screams]
We're under attack! Man your posts!
Diego, you forgot your amulet!
[grunts]
- [groans]
- [explosions echo]
[groans, panting]
I told Diego the amulet would protect him
from enemy soldiers,
but not from traitors.
No one may touch this amulet now,
or they'll encounter darkness.
- Listen to me, Eloísa.
- Okay.
No one can ever touch the amulet again,
not in this life or any other fucking one.
- Is that clear?
- Yes.
Not in this life
or any other fucking one. Okay.
- That's right.
- Okay.
Now go. Soledad's swearing her love
to Froilán tomorrow.
- Go on, scram. Now.
- All right.
[mumbles]
[narrator] That night,
the witch got rid of the amulet,
never imagining
that hundreds of years later,
Simona would get it back
and give it to the reincarnation
of the dreadful Commander Froilán.
[barks]
Hello, I'm calling
to request a service.
Right now.
Please, ma'am.
I know perfectly well
that the gigolo is free.
Fine.
If he won't see me,
I'll have no choice but to call the police
and report you for being a pimp.
Très bien.
Room 305. In one hour.
A gigolo?
That's right.
The man threatening your relationship
is the town's prostitute.
Aren't you going to defend your honor?
[inhales]
- [dial tone]
- indistinct chatter]
- Candela.
- Finally.
Dangerous client. In your room.
Candela, I'm sorry. I'm done.
- She's threatening to call the police.
- I don't care.
We'll all be in trouble
if you don't do this.
Even your mother.
Come on, Maxi. Please.
I promise I'll fix all this.
Fine, but it's the last time.
Thanks. Don't be long.
[thunder rumbling]
[car door creaks]
[thunder claps]
Men are the worst.
Seriously. The absolute worst.
I think he still sees me
as the shy laundry girl.
With this scar, which filled
my childhood with insecurities.
Oh, now the scar.
I insulted him too.
I interfered in his life.
But he just doesn't get it.
He doesn't get
that I finally found my calling.
- Your destiny?
- Right.
An environmentalist.
Environmentalist?
Aren't you the one
who kidnapped the dragon last year?
Only Maxi stood up for me.
Until today, that is.
You two have to make up
and release the dragon.
Right? No animal deserves
to be held in captivity.
No, it's not that.
You have to see how unfair it is
that everyone here is unhappy.
Well, to be honest,
I'm not exactly unhappy.
Never having been in love
is another matter.
It's true that I haven't, but whatever.
I don't think love
is conditional on finding a partner.
Did I ask you, sir?
Huh? No.
[talk radio playing]
Break the spell, okay?
Yeah, of course.
I'll get out here.
BLUE DRAGON
- Did you have any luck?
- No.
- You?
- No.
He was seen going to the lake with Juana.
Mamen, I'm going back to the hotel
because I need to see my daughter.
- You don't think Goya
- Is the one who fell off the balcony?
No, don't say that.
Lola, that woman didn't fall. She jumped.
Besides, don't worry,
Goya doesn't have keys to the rooms.
Or does she?
No.
Why would she?
Exactly. Why indeed?
I'm going back anyway, Mamen,
because I need to talk to her, and
this is all very weird.
I've once again come to think ♪
That the Devil came to chat ♪
My soul is not so clear today ♪
Don't stop on the streets around here ♪
To try and overhear ♪
The secrets and tales behind goodbyes ♪
Did you really think ♪
That I would leave here
Empty-handed because of you? ♪
No ♪
Did you really think ♪
That I would leave here
Empty-handed because of you? ♪
I'm not used to losing
But I play for amusement ♪
And the game is what gives me life ♪
[applause]
The legend is true.
I don't know what you're on,
but it's just a made-up tale
that many folks now think is real,
like the Bible.
No. You have to accept who you are.
You're Soledad's reincarnation.
Only you and Maxi can redeem me.
I'm no princess.
Don't be a princess, then. Be a witch.
I'm not a princess or a witch.
I'm an environmentalist!
Break the fucking spell, okay?
If Maxi releases the dragon
with the wrong person,
this town will lose its last chance
to find love again, and everything else.
I do love Maxi,
but I'm not in love with him.
I'm not reincarnating again, understood?
I shouldn't have come back.
Listen, hundreds of years have passed
so you two could meet again.
Get back here!
I'd rather not go in together.
All right.
Nothing will be the same
after tonight, I promise.
Maxi
I know you're here with someone.
I get this must be hard for you.
I'm getting married.
Yes.
- If you want to, we can get married.
- No, I am.
But not to you.
I'm sorry.
- I didn't think this would happen again.
- What?
- My life's going in a different direction.
- You felt our chemistry. Sparks flew.
I've always been multiorgasmic.
It's not just the tale. What happened
at the lake was indescribable.
Really, it's the strangest thing.
I'm like a waterfall.
I'm in love with you.
We've only seen each other three times.
Romeo and Juliet's relationship
lasted three days.
- And they got married.
- Sure, and look how it ended.
Really, if he weren't in my life,
I wouldn't have doubts.
Maxi, my boy, are you okay?
Where's Goya? Have you seen Goya?
No.
- I'm worried something happened to her.
- Don't worry. I'm sure she's
What?
- The dragon.
- What?
No, Goya, not now!
- Not now.
- Again with that damn dragon.
- Goya!
- What happened to Goya?
[Lola shouts] Goya!
Antonio?
[bang]
Goya?
Why didn't I think it could've been Goya?
She was looking for the dragon.
I saw her this afternoon.
- Are you lying to reassure me?
- No.
Someone else fell, then?
Yeah.
What a relief.
Oh God!
What's this, Lola?
You won't believe this.
Antonio's having a baby.
Antonio?
Antonio. Juana's husband.
Well, not her husband.
He's Edurne's husband.
Edurne was Antonio's mistress
when he was dating Juana.
But he got her pregnant.
Juana?
- Edurne.
- Juana is here with Antonio.
Exactly. And get this.
Juana is now Antonio's mistress.
Antonio married Edurne
out of Catholic guilt.
- But he's in love with Juana.
- Exactly. He never stopped loving her.
But he also loves his kid.
And now he's having another one.
The outlook doesn't look great.
I'm a bit confused.
I don't think I explained it very well.
Basically, Antonio is fertile, okay?
I have all the eagerness of youth ♪
But I am scared, just like you ♪
And as each day breaks
I crumble as I face my fucking reality ♪
Absolutely nobody ♪
Is more fragile than me ♪
I have to survive ♪
By lying to myself ♪
I know who I am. I've always known.
Living with this has been hell for me too.
I've thought about this,
and I won't sacrifice myself.
I don't love him, and I'll never love him
as anything more than a friend.
You could try.
You could've tried to be less shitty
in your past life and not cast this spell.
If Diego and Soledad were really in love,
they would've done things differently.
They would've fought.
You have no idea.
Things were different back then.
For you to be here
acting all high and mighty
with the right to choose,
people had to go out and fight.
If you don't like what they did
or think it wasn't enough,
that just sums you up.
Come and rise up
Like a cloud of blue smoke ♪
Don't suffer anymore ♪
It's tearing me up inside
My life is different from before ♪
I will survive ♪
I will find a home ♪
Amid the rubble ♪
Of my misery ♪
A bizarre paradise ♪
But without you ♪
Even if it hurts, I want ♪
Liberty ♪
Even if I have to pay the price ♪
[upbeat music playing]
I won't break the spell!
I will survive ♪
Never!
I will survive ♪
I will survive ♪
I will survive ♪
Hi there.
Can I get a beer, please?
I saw you come into the bar,
and I wanted to say hi and
thank you for the tour.
Well, for every tour.
I've been on quite a few of them.
- Sure.
- Yeah, right?
I'm fascinated by the tale.
I especially love hearing you tell it.
- Thanks.
- I really like your voice.
I especially like
the part about the chandelier.
I don't know why,
but it makes me think of love.
Because it's really nice. I don't know.
Well, nice until it comes crashing down.
Is it true that the chandelier
killed the princess?
Or is it just because
you wanted to make the tale better?
I've lived here for years,
and I've always wondered.
It's true.
The chandelier fell on her face.
That's why there have been
so many different versions of her face.
So that's the reason.
Yeah.
I love hearing it from you.
Thanks.
Especially now that I'm leaving town.
Where are you going?
Away on a trip, after the parade.
You never told me what you do.
If you
I don't know.
- Veterinarian.
- Yeah.
Do you have any pets?
No, I don't like animals.
[woman on radio] That was "I Will Survive"

We'd take the whole world by storm
We were dreamers ♪
We'd come back home
In time for New Year's Eve ♪
But everything has ended
And the least of our worries ♪
Is looking for a way to understand it ♪
I used to believe
That life was a game to be played ♪
And if I'm honest
I still think the same ♪
And now I know
That I was never your princess, no ♪
That in my veins
It isn't blue blood that flows ♪
And now I know ♪
That on the day that I die ♪
I'll lay myself down on the shoreline ♪
And I will be swept far out to sea ♪
When the tide rises ♪
There you are.
You're getting released tomorrow.
I'm going to miss you, little one.
What will become of us now?
- [bells rings]
- Mamen!
Why are you here, Goya?
- I'm taking the dragon.
- Yeah, right.
- Yes.
- Get it straight.
The dragon isn't your destiny.
It's Maxi and Juana's destiny.
Or rather, Diego and Soledad's.
You folks are all crazy, seriously!
You're the crazy one
for refusing to see the tale is real.
What happened to your leg?
No, don't tell me.
Go tell your mother. She's worried sick.
Oh, sweetie!
I was worried sick. What happened?
- I'm sorry.
- I knew something had happened to you.
Yes, I fell, but that's not why I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing, then?
I know you're hoping
the lovers will break the curse.
But that's not happening.
Oh, sweetie.
I just want you to be free.
And happy, all right?
One day, you'll understand
the curse over this town.
There's no way out.
[ominous music plays]
Evil is coming.
And it's my fault.
It's my fault.
[thunder rumbling]
Maxi, why are you here?
- To show you something, but never mind.
- What's that?
- I was wrong, Juana. This isn't the way.
- What is it?
I'm having another baby.
I'm so sorry, Juana.
That's why I left.
Because I thought you'd leave me.
But I'm done lying.
Can we please go inside and talk?
I'm sorry, I need to be alone.
Where are you going with that balloon?
You and I had an appointment
in another room.
I've been waiting for you.
Dangerous client.
Stop!
[dramatic music plays]
You disgust me.
I can't believe it.
My fiancée traipsing around
with this fucking hick,
who sells his body
to buy clothes three sizes too small
in order to seduce women
because it's all he can do.
You're so vulgar!
You're a macho cliché
What the hell
is going on here, you asshole?
[screams]
Why are you here, Candela?
- Isn't it a bit late for tours?
- I'm not here for that.
Isn't it a bit late for anything?
Convince me it's true.
Oh, Candela. I can't and I won't.
I'm starting to think
we've all lost our minds
and you're the only sane one.
Mamen, I want to feel too.
My stomach could be a sanctuary,
but my butterflies are dead.
Your butterflies?
Come here. I'll show you mine.
[bell rings]
Look.
We're ruined, Candela.
- What are we gonna do?
- About what?
If we release the dragon, what then?
What do I know?
You can't avoid the inevitable.
[drawer rings shut]
We'll figure something out.
Love is a golden ray
Of indirect sunlight ♪
A droplet of peace
An awakening faith ♪
A buzzing in the air
A clearing in the foggy night ♪
An outline, a shadow
A brief pause, a long wait ♪
Love is a soft rumbling
That is drawing near ♪
A ringing in the distance
A breeze blowing cold ♪
A voice in the calm
A scent of mint in the air ♪
A later, a maybe
A brief time, a clear goal ♪
Love starts to blossom
In the air and underground ♪
You can touch it and feel it ♪
Some can even see it around them ♪
And it makes you wake up
With it on your mind ♪
And it beckons you slowly
Caressing your side ♪
- [gunshots]
- [screams]
[indistinct shouting]
What was that?
Fireworks.
No, it came from inside the hotel.
- Someone's shooting in the hotel.
- Don't go, Mamen!
- I'll go with you.
- Don't go!
[woman] At last.
Take your clothes off.
It moves you and drives you
And pushes from behind ♪
And suddenly, it lifts you
It throws you and burns you ♪
It lights up your soul
And sets fire to your veins ♪
And it makes you cry out
When you feel the heat of the flames ♪
It dissolves you, evaporates you
Destroys you, creates you ♪
And it makes you travel
To the edges of the earth ♪
Going up the rivers
Of a thousand universes ♪
And it leads you to glory
And delivers you to shore ♪
It looks at you and sees you ♪
And it thinks and it thinks ♪
Lola gave you the room keys. I knew it.
- I was helping you find the dragon.
- No one asked you to.
I'm tired of you being a threat
in my own hotel.
[indistinct shouting]
[woman] Hey! Where are you going?
We're not done yet!
You're missing out on the best bit!
Asshole!
[gunshot]
Where's my mother?
Where's the rifle?
[gunshot]
[glass smashing]
