"In previous episodes..." "They're already giving you chemo, right?" "Just one session, how did you know?" "Because your hair's starting to fall out." "I'd shave it, before it falls out." "You have to anticipate events." "You have to be strong." "I guess you cut your hair to find your strength, but perhaps your courage is somewhere else." "You get a special permit, and go to Ignasi's grave." "Out of so many places!" "but the truth is that the Bracelets aren't going through a good time." "We're getting older, and it's difficult to stay friends now that we're not together." "Are you sure you don't want to go?" "Did you see Cris at the cemetery?" "I don't want to talk about it." "What's happened, Cris, if for over a year and a half you were okay?" "Are you having problems with Victor?" "Aren't you getting along with this guy?" "Isn't he just a substitute for Lleó?" "Look, Lleó threw me out of his life." "The only thing he cares about is his illness," "That's why I realized that he never loved me." "Are you happy with Victor?" "With Victor I can be myself." "You should try talking to Cris." "Benito, stop." "Do you have cancer?" "No." "Right?" "Are you 17?" "So forget me." "I think you're going too far." "What have you got there?" "Nothing." "You've come so far, Jordi." "Carlos will tell your mother, you know." "Jordi, I want to see!" "Where is it?" "If there are cancer cells inside, they may have gone to many places." "You mean it's cancer." "For now it's just a spot, but with your background, it's important that we do the CT scans and the biopsy." "Have some guts, and tell us why you haven't come to see us in all this time." "What for?" "What good would it do, now?" "No ones ever touched the breast that I'll lose." "It would be a shame that... such a nice breast went without anybody touching it, that's all." "Maybe so." "Señor Benito." "Dammit, he's not breathing!" "Episode 17 [2x04]" "What I'm saying is that at this swimming pool, people passed by." "Sometimes they lived, sometimes they died." "And a boy came, gave me a bracelet and said I was part of a group." "The pool was huge, and..." "[ONE YEAR EARLIER] had a very high diving board." "Yeah." "And how long were you there?" "Almost two years." "Hey, if you spent so long in a swimming pool, why the hell don't you have a suntan?" "Hey!" "Do you want it?" "What is it?" "Tomorrows maths test." "I stole it from the teacher." "And why would I want it?" "You're doing a bit badly in everything, aren't you?" "They say that you'll repeat a year." "Yeah, but I'm not in a hurry to pass." "You're the one who was in a coma, right?" "My name is Roc." "And yes, I was in a coma." "Is it true that stuff you said about the pool and the guy who was talking to you?" "Yes, why?" "Because I need to meet him." "In exchange for the test." "This one is very happy." "Why are you laughing, Toni?" "Do you find this face funny?" "Yes, if he were bald he'd remind me of Lleó when they told him the cost of a new leg." "Lleó?" "Who's Lleó?" "One of my friends in the hospital, the leader of our group." "You have a group of friends?" "Yes, there's six of us." "We're called Red Bracelets." "We all wear a bracelet like this." "Close friends, or just aquaintances?" "Yes, of course, friends are always close." "We help each other and have fun, we're one of a kind." "Toni, studies show that Asperger's sufferers have trouble making friends." "I'm not saying that you can't, but being part of a group... that's hard to believe." "I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's true." "I never tell lies." "I think those studies must be wrong." "It's not right to put people in boxes." "Besides, I don't like how you say the word Asperger." "And if you have these friends, why have they never come to see you?" "I don't know." "I guess they're busy." "One is dead." "Others could be rebuilding their lives," "Or fighting against some disease." "But when you have a friend you don't need to see him every day." "She's the first person to believe me since returning to school." "Will you help me?" "It's important to me." "How long has her sister been in a coma?" "Three years I think." "That's a long time, eh, Roc?" "I want to help but I don't know if I'll be able to." "I haven't spoken again with anybody who's in coma." "Toni, she just needs us to try." "And I also need it." "The visit is over Toni." "We should continue the therapy." "Here Roc, meet the skeptical doctor." "Doctor skeptic, meet a Bracelet of which you say are imaginary." "Shouldn't you write it down in your notebook?" "It's important, eh?" "Toni, will you do it?" "I'll have to ask permission at the weekend." "It would have to be today, Thursday." "Zoe says that it can only be on Thursday, and doesn't want to wait for a week." "And why can it only be on Thursdays?" "I don't know, those are her rules, Toni." "This is Núria." "Nuria, these are the two guys I told you about, the one from the swimming pool and the freaky one." "His name's Toni." "I like "freaky"." "She's also very freaky." "Do you hear her?" "Hello, Núria." "Can you hear me?" "I'm sorry." "I don't hear anything." "Episode 17 [2x04]" "Good morning, sleepy." "They'll be coming now to take you to the operating room." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Everything will be fine, you'll see." "How many scans is he going to have?" "Four." "Head, arms, lungs and liver." "You won't find anything, and tomorrow I'll be out of this damn hospital." "Cristina, Victor has come to see you." "Hello." "Thank you." "What are you doing here?" "I heard you weren't well, so I came to see you." "How are you?" "Tired, that's all." "Shouldn't you be working?" "Yes, I should, but I've taken the day off." "Victor, I'm tired, I don't want to do anything." "Your family believes that you've had a relapse." "If you stay in bed you'll be admitting they're right." "I don't plan to do or stop doing anything." "Let them think what they want." "I have an idea." "I'm with you:" "we'll stay here together." "What do you think?" "We won't move for days." "You know what?" "Sure, I'll go out." "Can you give me a minute?" "I'll give you two." "And Lleó... does he know about señor Benito?" "Andrade doesn't want him to know until after they do the biopsy." "But he has to know, Toni, it's Benito." "Maybe you're right." "Do you know who found Benito?" "Who?" "Jordi." "Is he here?" "A patient?" "Yes, they've found a strange lump under his arm." "I didn't know." "he's been behaving a bit weird since he arrived." "he had a quarrel with Lleó." "Give him a few days to adjust." "If we take it slowly, the Bracelets will be together again." "You don't fool me." "You pretend otherwise, but you're shit-scared." "Leave me alone!" "You say you're leaving today, but even you don't believe it." "Jordi, I know you're scared that the cancer has returned, that you'll get chemo again, that you'll lose your arm, and can't ride a motorbike again." "I know, man, but there's no other way around it." "You can't escape." "I'll be coming to see you when you're in the ICU, okay?" "It's not necessary, Lleó." "Yes it is." "The first face you see upon waking will be mine." "Well, how scary!" "Good luck." "Good luck." "Are you ready?" "As ready as one can be." "Hey, aren't biopsies done by Dr. Moncada?" "Yes, but this time I'll be doing it." "Hey, where are you going?" "One moment, one moment." "No, don't say anything to him." "He has to know." "Dr Andrade said that..." "He has to know." "What should I know?" "You don't need to know anything." "Señor Benito is in the ICU." "He had a heart attack last night." "Where are you going?" "Lleó, please stay here." "They're all waiting for you!" "You have the biopsy, Lleó!" "Please, remain here." "Lleó!" "You can see him later, man." "I had to tell him, it's señor Benito." "Doctor." "What are you doing here, Lleó?" "How's Benito?" "You have to get the biopsy, there's a lot of people waiting." "To hell with the biopsy." "How's Benito?" "He's very ill, Lleó" "He's had a multiple heart attack." "We have to operate and do a triple bypass." "Is he conscious?" "Yes, but very weak." "I want to see him." "Go and do the biopsy, please." "It's what Benito would want." "Don't say "would", hell, he's not dead." "I need to go in, Doctor." "Let me in, please." "No way." "I'm not leaving." "Okay, Lleó." "Wait a moment." "They're preparing him for the operation." "I'll let you know when you can see him." "It wasn't our intention to lie to you, Lleó." "We would have told you after the biopsy." "Toni...!" "Lucas has broken four bones during the night." "Take him to radiography." "On your way." "Lleó, five minutes." "They're about to operate." "Benito." "Hey, what I said to you last night..." "I didn't mean it." "No, it was nothing, Lleó." "It's okay." "The doctor told me that you didn't want to do the biopsy." "I won't do it until you're well." "I won't leave you alone." "Thanks, Lleó." "How are you?" "I don't think my heart can go on much longer." "But we already knew that." "It's lucky that Jordi came, otherwise I wouldn't be around." "Jordi?" "Yes, he was admitted to my room last night." "Since I'm not going to get you to do the biopsy," "Can I ask you a favour?" "Anything." "I want to ask you to be my legal guardian." "Promise me, you'll make the right decisions, so you don't extend my life if it isn't necessary." "They may be very difficult decisions." "I promise." "I'll do as you ask." "Thank you." "In the theater there's a rule that says... that you should never act if there are... less people in the audience than actors on stage." "As today I think I have to do a great performance in an operating theatre..." "I'll be your greatest spectator and fan." "It'll be a long performance." "I want you to wait in my room." "Promise me." "I promise." "But you promise me that you'll come out of this." "Do you promise?" "Do you promise?" "Victor, what are we doing here?" "I don't have practice today." "Up there." "Go on, up there." "What's that?" "The key to our house." "I rented a bigger apartment." "I want us to live together." "I know we haven't been together for very long, but it's just that... it's not enough for me just to spend some afternoons, going to the movies, or coming here to see how you rehearse." "I need more." "I want you to be the last thing I see when I go to sleep, and the first thing when I wake up." "I love you." "I love you as I've never loved anybody." "# With a dusty finger."

"I'm fed up." "I look like a damn hamster." "What do I have left?" "The scan on the arm, and that's it." "I've had enough of scans." "I'll give it a miss." "They can look at the others and decide." "Is it because it's the one on the arm?" "It's because I'm sick and tired of it!" "I'm fine, I'm perfectly okay!" "Look at me, I'm great!" "You should talk to someone." "It would do you good." "You should allow yourself to be helped by your friends from hospital." "I have no friends here anymore." "What about the Bracelets?" "To hell with the Bracelets." "Now I have new friends, bikers." "We're planning a trip to Morocco by motorbike." "I must get my bike in shape, and I want to leave right now" "There are good roads in Morocco." "Have you been?" "15 years ago, on the Dakar rally." "You went to Dakar?" "On the Paris-Dakar?" "A couple of times." "What did you think, that my only ability is to bring chairs up and down?" "You'd be crazy about my bike." "Yeah, and when we're done, you'll show me your bike." "You do the scan, and maybe... just maybe..." "I'll show it to you." "Excuse me." "Can you help me?" "I'm lost." "Do I look like the sodding information desk?" "Okay, sorry, man." "She'll know." "Let's begin the great gymnastics performance... of the great gymnast Núria." "We do some very complicated balances... and now the pirouettes." "And we play with the ribbon up and down, up and down, and to the other side." "Oh, watch they don't catch it!" "She's doing a number of doubles." "And now the final balance and the most difficult of all." "Wonderful, wonderful, what a great performance!" "Great performance!" "Now we'll see the scores." "Scores... 10 points, 10 points, 10 points." "Maximum points." "Núria has gained maximum points." "Hello." "I think Nuria also liked it." "Do you know her?" "Yes, her sister introduced us." "Sister?" "I haven't met her sister, only her parents." "I think she only comes one day a week." "She's a bit... strange." "Hey, I do one last performance and then we'll go." "Okay, I'll stay here, and keep Núria company." "I think that's very nice..." "very nice." "How handsome is my boy!" "Goodbye." "Wait for me here." "Bye, Núria." "Hello!" "Hello, what are you doing here?" "Núria?" "How do you know my name?" "Who are you?" "My name's Roc." "You're Roc, the Roc from the swimming pool?" "Yes." "Zoe told me a lot about you, and your friend." "I thought that if someone visited me, it would he him." "I guess as you've been in a coma, you can come to visit me." "Yeah, but perhaps you'd have prefered Zoe to come, eh?" "I won't lie, I'd have liked to see Zoe." "But I wanted to meet someone as special as you." "No, I'm not special!" "For me, you are." "You got out of the swimming pool, and that makes you special, very special." "It's been my best day since I've been in a coma." "I'm glad." "I didn't have so great a time either." "And don't worry, when I wake up I'll tell your sister you're fine." "Zoe isn't my sister, Roc." "What?" "She's my best friend." "From the age of six, we've played the cello together." "We've always been together, until the day of the accident." "What accident?" "One night we wanted to swim in the lake." "This lake." "Zoe took her brothers motorbike." "And on the way, we had the accident." "She spent time in the hospital, but recovered." "And I..." "I remained here forever." "My parents don't want to see her." "They blame her for the accident." "That's why she comes on Thursdays, because it's the only day my family doesn't come." "I'd like you to tell her that I love her very much." "That it wasn't her fault, and that Thursday is the best day of the week." "Oh, and by the way, tell her to start playing the cello again." "I'd love to hear it." "I miss it's sound." "Roc, wake up." "Roc." "You fell asleep." "I've been with Núria." "We were on a lake." "There was a waterfall." "And she told me about the accident." "She told me you took your brothers motorbike." "And... that she loves you very much." "What happened?" "You've had a severe anxiety attack, with outbreaks of violence and self-harm." "They had to sedate you." "How long have you binge eaten and then vomited, Cristina?" "These nails are broken and in need of calcium." "That happens when you use your fingers to vomit." "Besides, you've painted them, so that nobody notices it. right?" "It's for the rehearsals." "Really, it's not because I vomit." "It's just that the rehearsals are very hard." "It's not because I've vomited." "All right." "In Toulouse I vomited once, because a test didn't go well." "It was only once." "I promise." "I don't believe you." "I want you to know that from now on, your word is worthless in this hospital." "Today you'll be admitted to the psychiatric ward." "Hello." "Hello." "How's Benito?" "They're operating on him." "And Jordi?" "They're still doing scans." "Hopefully it's nothing." "Are you looking for something of Benito's?" "Do you need something?" "No, no, I was just waiting." "I wanted to know more about him, it's just that I know nothing of his previous life." "Sometimes it's hard to know the ones you love." "I'm going to check how the scans are going." "Are you staying?" "Yes, Benito asked me to stay here until the end of the operation." "Perhaps he wants that you and Jordi talk." "Maybe so, but today I can only focus on Benito." "Well, goodbye." "Goodbye." "(For Lleó." "Give it to him if something happens to me.)" "How did it go?" "It hasn't gone well, Lleó." "We've done the triple bypass, but... his heart is very weak." "He will recover, right?" "He won't recover." "We did everything we could, but... his heart will stop beating in a matter of 24 to 48 hours." "I'm sorry, we've tried everything, believe me." "Can I see him?" "Just now they're taking him to the ICU." "You'll be able to see him there." "Sorry I couldn't come before, Lleó." "It'll be okay, Lleó." "You'll see." "What are you saying, Roc?" "What, now you're a doctor?" "I'll summon the rest of the Bracelets." "This will be good for us as a group." "You'll see, everyone will come, Lleó." "What the hell are you talking about, Toni?" "I don't care a damn about the Bracelets!" "Don't ever talk to me about it!" "That group no longer exists!" "Let's see if you can get it into your head!" "Grow the hell up, dammit!" "We'll never be together again, ever!" "He didn't really mean it." "Of course he meant it." "But he's wrong, someday we'll be together again." "Why are you so sure?" "I couldn't talk with anyone else who was in coma." "I could only talk to you." "Do you know why?" "No." "Why?" "Because we Bracelets are special." "Perhaps now they don't see it, and they're afraid, but we're united by an incredible loss, and an amazing friendship." "That makes us unique." "Maybe it'll take a long time, but some day we'll be together again." "And I must confess that today I feel as if the Bracelets were around here." "I can't explain it, but closer." "Toni..." "It's very hard for me to tell you this, but I've been wanting to do it all day." "Tell me." "They've accepted me to audition at the conservatoire." "Today I'm going with my mother to Madrid." "For two weeks." "And if they accept me..." "I'll stay a year in Madrid." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "I'm proud of you, Roc." "Do it well." "We'll be together again." "Trust me."

"I don't think I'm your doctor." "I moved to the childrens ward." "What do you have?" "I don't know, but they say they have to admit me today." "What's your name?" "Lleó." "I feel sorry for you, Benito, so much time bearing a lie like that is a very big weight for the conscience." "What are you doing in the adults ward?" "Are you lost?" "Mom, my mother is very ill."
