All those times brooding over it

in the mental ward.

You visited me,

brought me his records.

That's it, listen to me.

You want to kill him.

You'll find that love

is best when it's dark. It's time!

I will walk, hugging my love,

aimlessly on the streets...

Good.

But he knows.

How? Did you tell him?

No!

He's known from the start

that we want to kill him.

He knows everything.

He's everywhere.

He's a god!

Well, since he's so smart,

we're not going to contradict him.

Whatever they say, I'm an artist.

Culture is a universal asset.

I don't understand how people

can go around stealing semen.

- What?

- Semen.

There are people stealing semen.

Look, I don't get this semen trauma,

but it's no concern of ours now.

Let's focus on our trauma,

the same as ever: Alphonso.

Alphonso.

He lied to you,

he lies all the time.

I just spoke to him,

and you know what he said?

I recorded it because I knew you

wouldn't believe me.

Mediocre, old, pass...

Mediocre, old, pass...

- But...

- Shall I play it again?

I gave him my gun.

Relax, where there's a will

there's a way.

Change of song,

we're doing Scandal.

- Not My Big Night?

- Change of plans.

He changed the song.

He knows! What now?

Never mind, just kill him.

But it's not "I'll find love

is best in the dark".

When he sings "I live my life,

I am what I am".

Go on.

Why not when he sings

"Scandal, it's a scandal"?

He repeats it too much,

you'll get confused!!

Move it, or we won't make it.

Camera 2!

If you don't mind, of course.

Camera 2, babe.

Camera 1?

Recording.

- Camera 2?

- Recording.

- Camera 3?

- Recording.

Go ahead.

Scandal, it's a scandal.

Scandal, it's a scandal.

Scandal, it's a scandal.

Scandal, it's a scandal.

Always the same routine,

we meet on corners,

shaking off what they say about us.

You care about this girl.

These chances come once in lifetime.

I'm here for a reason.

Yes, to ridicule me.

How can you talk like that

to your mother?

Because she's crazy!

Will you let go of that crucifix?

Sometimes it's better

to be a little crazy

than to be an extra

in your own life,

doing and believing

everything you're told.

Son, do you love her?

More than you love this crucifix.

Then go after her.

I'm ready to be admitted.

Your sister's unbearable,

you're unemployed.

Bad luck can't make this worse.

My body can't get used to

this love in the shadows,

...mightier than a volcano.

Hidden from the moon,

we can carry on.

For good or for ill,

I'll never stop loving you.

Scandal, it's a scandal.

Scandal, it's a scandal.

Scandal, it's a scandal.

- Paloma, please!

- They're taping!

I don't care what happens to me.

I want to be with you!

If a crane falls on me,

or a shark bites me,

I'll handle it.

I'm not bad luck, Jose.

My life's been

a set of circumstances

that if look at from outside...

I don't care.

I'm the luckiest man in the world.

I want to be with you

no matter what!

"Though high society may chatter..."

- What are you doing?

- Going over the lyrics.

"This river is overflowing,

If ours is a sin,

I'll keep on sinning,

Scandal, it's a scandal

I live my life,

I am what I am", fire!

"I live my life,

I am what I am", fire!

...I'll keep on sinning,

Scandal, it's a scandal.

"I live my life,

I am what I am", fire!

"I live my life,

I am what I am", fire!

Fire!

I live my life,

I am what I am.

Fire!

Fire!

I can't, I love this song.

You only had to pull the trigger!

No, Yuri!

No, Yuri!

I can't, I love him!

- I love him.

- You want to kill him!

No, "I love him

with the might of the seas",

"I love him

with the force of the wind".

He's a legend.

He's the history of Spain!

And he's your father!

Even more reason!

I have to start from zero!

- Jose!

- Son!

Jose, forgive me.

It's all my fault!

No, it was just a coincidence.

The crucifix...

- It stopped the bullet!

- It's amazing,

as if my mother's energy

neutralized yours!

Yeah!

I almost didn't bring it,

it weighs a ton.

Lucky you're crazy.

It's a miracle.

It's no miracle.

The bullet went through it.

The wound's superficial.

He'll make it.

He's bleeding bad, Alphonso.

Oh my God!

You're Alphonso!

Nice to meet you, madam.

That smile, the same as ever.

And your skin,

it's like porcelain!

I look after myself

and I never sunbathe.

Mom, I'm dying.

Stop whining.

Alphonso said it's superficial.

Come here.

Here they are.

Careful, careful.

I'll go with you to the hospital,

and I'll take your mother.

- There's no need.

- Yes, I don't mind.

- Yes, honey.

- No, don't come.

I'll take your mother,

it's no bother.

It was him!

Don't let him get away!

That's him!

Jose!

Don't go near him.

Leave me here for a while.

It's him! Get him!

Out of the way!

Leave me alone.

Goddamn you!

Ricardo Rojas

and Francisco Colmenar,

great to see you again.

Everything okay here?

Was that take okay?

- Do we go again?

- No, it's fine.

We'll fix it in the edit.

In the edit.

In the edit it'll be...

Jose Luis Benitez Quintana?

What's this?

A summons to appear in court

to give evidence.

- When?

- Now, if you don't mind.

- You're being charged.

- Shouldn't my lawyer come?

Of course, call him.

- I don't have a phone.

- The judge can lend you his.

- This isn't necessary.

- No, but we love it.

What's this?

Mom, watch the foam!

Happy New Year!

There, that's it.

My new little gal.

Hello?

Seriously?

Okay, okay.

"Survivors" just called me.

What did they say?

They want both of us.

What a bummer, it's daytime.

Time to go home,

what a let-down!

Like coming out of an afterhours

and the sun blinding you.

I always go back in.

There's all-night place nearby.

You have to go, Alphonso?

What a shame.

I have my South American tour.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

A lift to the hospital?

No, no! No, thanks.

First you refuse the ambulance,

and now Alphonso offers a lift...

I'm not fond of helicopters.

Thanks, really.

Nothing will happen!

You people go.

I'll take a walk in the cool air.

No, Jose, no!

Come on, it'll be fun!

I've never been in one.

Jose!

Coming, honey.

'Bye!

How lovely!

'Bye!

Charlie-Tango-Delta taking off.

What's stuck into me?

Can I take it out?

Leave that alone, miss.

Paloma, sit down

and put on your belt, please.

- What's this?

- Leave it alone.

I'll put it back. Sorry.

Miss, please sit down.

I put it back where it was. I did.

What did you touch, Paloma?

Sit down, I said.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Stop grinning at him, Mom.

Wonderful, wonderful heart,

I thank you for your friendship,

your company,

for being my friend in the pain,

my confidant in love...

SCANDAL IN JAPAN!

Impersonator and agent arrested for

fake concert. 10,000 tickets sold.

They tried to perform

Alphonso's songs.

...so many indelible memories

stayed with us,

of loves and passions we had.

Wonderful, wonderful heart,

I'm so happy

when I feel your beating,

for the life you give me,
