Hey, I don't have any infections, okay?

I'm sick of your weird sh*t.

Aren't you going to get the door?

Or no one told you to do that either?

Hello!

Yes, I'm coming!

Good morning.

Where's Miss Mercedes?

Miss Mercedes no longer exists.

Raquel, the door is shut!

Open up!

I'm locked out!

I've got something in the oven!

Raquel, open up!

I saw you, you b*tch!

Open up!

Open up!

Kids!

Kids!

Oh f***!

Sonia?

Motherf***er!

What happened?

Nothing! Nothing happened!

I am not your toy, do you hear me?

I deserve respect, you hear?

You idiot!

You knocked the boat over!!

Come here!

Come out of there!

I'm telling Mrs. Pilar!

Stay out of this!

Tell whomever you want!

See if I care, b*tch!

You stay of this!

Raque...

Raque, she's gone.

No Mom, this has nothing to do with it,

you sent me a cave woman.

No! She's crazy, Mom!

It's not my fault.

I'm not going to fire her!

Dammit Raquel!

Raquel!

Raquel!

Don't think that you're going to

get away with this!

Lucas!

Kids!

Am I alone in this house?

We're trying to fix the boat!

Where's the glue?

Kids, just leave it, it's no use.

But Mom, Dad will be devastated!

Damn Raquel!

Careful with this, Lucas.

Okay! Put it away.

It's Dad.

Close it, close it!

Hello.

How are you?

Good, how's it going? Hello.

Hi Dad.

What happened?

What the hell happened?

Sh*t...

What happened here?

I spent a year on this!

Isn't anyone going to tell me

what the f*** happened?

Sonia knocked it over.

Yes, she... but she left.

- What do you mean?

- She quit.

Isn't that a little exaggerated?

That's what I said, but she left.

Well, it's all right...

She had the worst breath!

Yeah! What a foul-smelling witch!

Lucas! Okay, help Dad clean up.

What is it? What is it?

Raquel! Raquel what's wrong?

Sh*t! Watch out, watch out!

Camila! Camila!

Raquel! Careful!

Careful! Careful!

Help me out!

Lift her legs up!

Camila, open the door please!

Careful! Don't let go of her!

Come on, open the door!

Watch her head!

Her head Mundo, please.

Lucas, help me, dammit!

- I'm going to drop her!

- Watch out! Mundo, calm down!

Camila, stay with the kids...

We're going to the hospital!

Open the door!

Why doesn't this piece of sh*t open!!

I can't move my legs,

I can't move my legs!

Hello?

Okay.

Mom, Lucy's here!

- Lucy, I'm Camila,

- Hi, how are you?

Good, come in!

Do you need any help?

Don't worry, this way

I get a little exercise.

Come in.

Excuse me.

It's so hot!

Are you tired?

- Yes, a little.

- Do you want anything?

Okay, a glass of water, thanks.

- What a nice house.

- Yes.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello Lucy.

- How are you?

This is your room, Lucy,

what do you think?

I don't know, normal? Small,

Yes, it's little small,

I got you this uniform, hope it fits,

- Should I put it on right away?

- I don't know, as you wish,

Look, that's Raquel's room,

She's still in bed, poor thing,

- And how is she feeling?

- She's doing better,

I'll introduce you to her,

She must be sleeping,

let's let her rest,

- Shall we show you the garden?

- Yes, let's go,

- Should I wear my uniform now?

- Your uniform?

Yes, sorry, I don't know

how this works,

Don't worry, we'll help you,

Hey, you've got a pool!

Not for very long,

Here's where we hang our clothes,

- What a beautiful garden!

- Well, thank you,

but it's really thanks to the gardener,

He's a perfectionist.

- So you don't have to worry about it.

- That's good.

Look at those idiots

watching TV all day.

Kids! Come say hello to Lucy!

How sweet.

- Have you tried on your uniform yet?

- Yes, I'll wear it tomorrow.

- So you don't get your clothes dirty.

- Okay.

And have you met Raquel?

Have you seen her?

No, because...

I knocked on her door,

but she didn't answer.

- So I decided not to bother her.

- No, she must have been sleeping.

She's catching up on

- I wanted to ask you something.

- Yes, tell me.

Could I go out for a jog at nights?

Yes, of course,

but will you have any juice left?

Juice?

No, I mean will you have the energy,

because this house is big.

Oh yes, yes don't worry.

- Well, good night.

- Good night.

Hello.

Good morning.

How are you? I'm Lucy.

Shouldn't you be in bed?

Okay, I'd better do my chores.

You're not going to have breakfast?

Oh? Yes, good idea.

Wait!

Raquel...

Raquel!

Wait, Raquel!

Don't leave me talking to myself!

Raquel!

Raquel, you're so stubborn!

- Hello Lucy.

- Hello.

What happened?

There's a fuss going on.

I don't know, I got up,

and Raquel was having breakfast

here, but she looked awful.

Lucy, I'm sorry.

She gets more difficult

than she really is.

Did you two have breakfast together?

No, we didn't.

When I sat down,

she got up and went upstairs,

but she looked awful.

She gets a little difficult with the

new ones, but don't be scared.

No, I'm not scared, don't worry.

People don't scare me.

Where were you this early?

Where were you?

Fishing, actually...

Jogging a little.

Since they went out for dinner...

she gave me permission

to go out earlier.

You haven't mopped here.

But it's clean.

This is for mopping,

and you mop every night.

If it looks clean, it doesn't

mean that it is clean.

Well, I'll mop later,

I'm going to shower, look at me.

Raquel, look...

Don't worry, I'm not staying

in this house for the rest of my life.

I'd die.

I'm glad.

Excuse me.

Arrogant, proud, and capricious...

She won't let anyone comfort her...

Crying and she left...

They say she spends

her nights crying for him!

...her nights crying for him!

she won't let them comfort her...

And Mundo?

- Lucas wanted to park the car.

- I'm going to put the kids to bed.

- Good night.

- Good night, Cami.

What is it? Raquel?

- Raquel, what are you doing?

- Leave, I'm disinfecting here.

Hey, but the smell!

You can't be here...

- Come go to your room.

- Leave me alone! Let go!

Skank!

What's wrong with you? God!

Come here.

Why are you like this?

What did they do to you?

What happened to you?

My God, what did they do to you?

Come, come.

Go to bed, Okay?

Take that off!

Okay, come, come.

Let's go to your room, okay?

It's going to be fine,

you're going to be better.

It'll soon pass.

Lie down here.

Rest, all right?

Thank you.

Such a lot of used clothes!

See anything you liked?

No, I don't need any...

these people need it

much more than I do.

Thanks anyway, ma'am.

Hey, the kids took all the

cool clothes, as they call them.

Raquel, what are you doing up?

I feel better.

If I stayed in there,

I was going to rot.

I think so too, ma'am, she should

do some things to revive a little.

You look much better, the prayers

must have done you well.

The kids prayed for you

every night, Raquel.

That must be it.

Okay, let's go Lucy.

We're going to be late.

No, no, leave that, this one is lighter.

Excuse me.

Don't strain yourself, Raquel.

Give it to me, here.

Leave it!

Give it up,

you better have some tea.

Okay, open the door.

I'm having lunch at my mother's.
