- We love each other, right?

Sure.

Yes? He was hit hard.

- Is that him?

- I'll tell you in a sec.

So worried, just awful.

What a fright.

That phone didn't ring.

Hold still!

There are two ways to do this:

the easy way or the hard way.

The easy way!

Are you giving me the vial

or do I get it myself?

What do I get in exchange?

I won't smash your face

or accuse you of blackmail.

- It's win-win.

- Nothing to say?

You're half-guilty!

- Me?

- Yeah, you.

How can you let him do this to me?

What?

You're blackmailing me, right?

The vial's right there.

What vial?

- What vial?

- I was a gentleman with you.

No, in the end we did nothing.

And you've f***ed up.

I'm recording everything.

Really?

So you're the brains

of this operation, eh?

Gimme that!

It's not...

My God, it's him!

Yes, lady, it's me.

Well, I look like

the Elephant Man now.

What happened to you?

And you're so handsome!

You're just being kind.

We're all in love with you!

Oh, you'll make me go red

on the other cheek!

Why didn't you say

you worked with him?

Well, not really with him...

- Who are you?

- My son.

Nobody.

- My son.

- Come on, Mom.

- Why take me away?

- For your makeup.

What the f*** are you doing?

Are you crazy?

It was a Samsung Galaxy!

Oh, yeah? Look.

I don't give a f***

about your Samsung

and I sh*t on your Galaxy!

You got me?

You f***ing b*tch!!

Please.

Look, I've got it.

Good. Let's go.

I'm sorry.

Luca, where are you?

- I'm outside.

- Can you hear me?

- What the hell's going on?

- They caught those girls.

This nutcase

had a gun on me.

Move your ass

or this is screwed.

Are you crazy?

There are cops everywhere.

Luca, calm down.

I'll come and get you.

I can't go inside.

It's too risky.

I'll come outwith the vial.

I don't have any papers.

- But you've got the cash?

- Soriano!

Goddamn signal! Luca!

Let's do the rehearsal.

Playback!

Today's a special day for me,

I'm going out tonight.

I shall live what

the world has to offer

and which the sun conceals.

I can sing a song

by the light of the moon,

and caress and kiss my life

like I've never done before.

Mark! Mark!

What will happen?

What mystery will there be?

It could be my big night.

And on awakening I will know

something unknown.

What are these images?

Paco, kill that background!

What the hell's that?

What the hell's going on?

Sebas, explain this!

I put on the video I was given.

What is it, a virus, a plot?

- I don't know, I don't get it.

- I do. Don't f*** around.

- Paco!

- What's that?

"She Wolf of the SS"?

Who put that in?

Crane shot, follow him,

don't stop.

Follow him.

Now camera 2, close-up. Now.

- Rosa, check this out, it's f***ing wild.

- Not now.

He paid a politician

to get the plan approved.

"See you in Zurich.

Bring the money."

This could land him in jail.

- Him and all his cronies.

- What do we do?

If we put this on the Net,

we'll get fired.

- I did it.

- What?

Yes, all the major press have it.

What the hell...?

- What?

- You could've asked me!

I always do what you say:

"Camera 1, camera 2, Chinese food..."

"Amparo, dear, Amparo, dear..."

I'm making the decisions now.

You get me so hot!

This night will be perfect,

never to be forgotten.

I will laugh and sing and dance

delighting in life,

I will forget sadness and evil

and the sorrows of the world,

And I will hear the violins sing,

in the wandering night.

Watch the cables, Mom.

What will happen?

What mystery will there be?

It could be my big night.

And on awakening I will know

something unknown.

What will happen?

What mystery will there be?

It could be my big night.

What will happen?

What mystery will there be?

It could be my big night.

Great!

- Great.

- Alphonso, I'm...

I know who you are.

You're scar Garca

and you're here to kill me.

- What?

- Come with me.

We have so much to talk about.

I swear I don't know anything

about that!

Do I look stupid?

Do you think that

because I smile and I'm nice,

I can't slap you till

your brains come out of your ears?

Perotti, you're going too far!

- Are you okay, honey?

- What's up with you, d*ckhead?

You're fired!

What?

You don't work for me anymore.

If she has my baby, it's fine.

- You're not killing her over that.

- You're retarded.

I'm scaring them, don't you see?

I was scaring them... Pay attention!

To get the vial.

You screwed it up!

Let go of her!

You really think I'd cut

her head off over a blowj*b?

You don't need

to scare anyone, Perotti.

I have the vial.

You f***er!

If you want to talk business,

talk to me.

Let's go to

Alphonso's presentation.

Can you hear me, Rosa?

Rosa.

Right, 5 and action.

Applause.

That's great!

We're having a great time!

What the f***'s he doing?

A great time,

but the night is young.

Weren't we just doing her?

You bet, Cristina!

Because now for

the best of all!

The best, the best!

What's on his face?

You're best at being

a mega-b*tch.

You're sabotaging your career,

you know that?

What is it? Tell me!

You don't know? It's a mystery.

I'll give you some clues.

Don't make them hard!

I'm so curious!

He's been in showbiz

for over 40 years.

And you've got 15 minutes left.

Jos Luis Moreno?

- He was number one 1 in Russia.

- Did you write this?

Gorbachev!

Great! The best we've ever done.

He sang for the Emperor of Japan!

Don't tell me! Frank Sinatra?

No, Cristina,

Frank Sinatra is dead.

Like you, you b*tch from hell!

I'm gonna ruin you!

F***ing b*tch!

- I'm the star!

- F***ing b*tch!

Star my f***ing ass!

I hate your guts!

I'm taking the boy!

B*tch!

- D*ckhead!

- Don't touch me!

You're fired!

What a pair of comedians!

Incredible, aren't they?

They're a couple in real life.

You can tell.

- What's with the cross?

- It's the cross of Caravaca.

I had it at home,

but now I have no home.

And you talk to it.

To the cross?

- Yes.

- You're an idiot.

This guy is so dumb.

She doesn't talk to it,

but she never lets go of it.

Everyone has their things.

You're hooked on your computer,

and you even talk to it.

Yes, Pornotube.

Are you on Facebook? Friend me!

Who's this girl?

Paloma. Nice to meet you.

- Give me a kiss!

- Don't touch her!

- What's wrong?

- It's the makeup,

she's got tons of it on,

it took ages...

You're sweating.

Are you alright?

No, I'm not.

We're working, we're extras.

We have to do what they say,

not what we want.

When we have to laugh, we laugh,

and when we have to clap, we clap.

But we don't stand up and hug!

Especially me, right?

Did you think I didn't know

what was going on?

What you were saying

behind my back?

Paloma, I...

You're the worst of all.

Yanire has always

been jealous of me,

and these two clowns

don't exist for me.

But for you to believe

something like that...

Paloma!

I've got WiFi.

How can you

draw attention like that?

- He likes my singing.

- What?

He says I have style.

Let's not go down that road.

You hate him, remember?
