"MAY 2012" "FREEDOM" "Episode 14 [2x01]" "Subtitles by Oliver Sanderson" "I'm healed, and you know it," "You said if the stitches were healed today I'd be discharged." "Will you let Dr Moncada do his job?" "Well, this looks fine." "Okay, you can get dressed now." "Are you sure that's what you want?" "Yes, I'm sure." "You have to discharge me." "That guy won't stop coughing and hasn't said a word in 10 days." "Hey, that's enough!" "We also have to wait for the CT scan report, to ensure you don't need chemo." "We'll meet at 6 o'clock in my office." "But it's clean and you know it!" "You don't have to give me any more chemo." "If you don't need any more chemo, I'll discharge you this evening." "Final discharge?" "You swear it?" "Of course, I swear it." "You swear it, really?" "Really, I swear." "Final discharge." "Where are you going?" "To return the chair." "I don't want to waste any time." "Get going." "Goodbye, doctors." "Hey there, Lleó!" "What's up, man?" "What?" "Are they're kicking you out?" "Are you off?" "Yeah, but there's still a damn CT scan... to confirm they won't give me chemo." "Even if you get 1 or 2 batches, you'll be sent home, right?" "No, I won't take them, man, my lung's are free of any shit." "If you say so..." "I'll come to see you, eh?" "Don't give me that." "No one returns here." "You know that." "And woe betide you if you do." "I mean it, man." "Me too." "Where are you going?" "To give the chair to Mercero." "Well..." "I'll come with you." "Okay." "What?" "What." "What?" "What!" "Hey, you!" "What, what!" "What!" "Come on, Lleó!" "I'll catch you!" "Mercero!" "Mercero!" "What up?" "If you let me win, I'll have your balls." "I didn't let you win." "My hands may not be fast, but my head is." "Don't do it again." "What do you want, guys?" "To return this to you." "Lleó!" "Mercero!" "Have a great time." "You too." "A pleasure to know you," "Likewise, man." "Take care." "Goodbye." "Bye." "Goodbye, Mercero." "Bye." "What's wrong with your leg?" "What?" "The leg, the leg!" "Your walking is awful." "Don't you have anything to do?" "Apart from winding you up?" "Where do we go now?" "To see Benito." "It'll be hard." "I know." "And slow." "Can't you go any faster?" "No, damn it!" "Shall I come with you?" "No, relax, man." "Okay, see you later." "Roger, Roger!" "What?" "When I'm not here, you'll go and see him, right?" "Who?" "Benito." "Yeah, man, every afternoon for tea." "No, come on, seriously." "Yeah, man, don't worry." "Right, see you later." "See you." "Lleó." "You've already returned the chair?" "Yes." "Very smart." "I wanted to gain time." "Well done." "And as you don't like goodbyes, you're saying goodbye now." "How you know me, Benito!" "No, I haven't come to say goodbye," "I've come to tell you that I'll come to see you, and with Roger's computer, we can talk on Skype." "No, just hearing you on the phone will do for me." "Lleó... don't worry about me." "How you've grown!" "Benito..." "No, no, no..." "It's not a sad day, it's the happiest day for me." "The lion's no longer in captivity, there's no better day." "This afternoon, when they discharge me," "I'd like you to be there." "You've been my father at hospital, and I need you." "It will be an honour." "I'll go with all my tubes." "It'll take time to get there, but we'll make it." "Thank you." "Have you told Cris?" "You should tell her." "Benito..." "No, I'm just saying... that she should know." "Cris has been in Toulouse for 3 months now, right?" "Right, but things have changed." "Think about it." "I'm going to talk to Toni." "Hello." "Hello." "You nearly missed it." "I'm getting discharged today." "That's great." "I'm glad." "You must be pleased." "Yeah." "Congratulations." "Thanks." "Hey, María!" "I'm getting discharged today." "Congratulations!" "Thank you very much." "Hey!" "What are you doing here?" "Hi, Laura, how are you?" "Fine." "Do you know where Toni is?" "In 114." "114." "Okay." "Hello." "Hello." "Is Toni here?" "No, he'll be here in a moment." "Okay." "Hey... are you Lleó?" "Lleó from the Bracelets?" "I didn't recognize you with hair." "Did Toni tell you about us, then?" "Did you really wake up Roc by singing a song?" "That would be crazy, Right?" "Toni, you shouldn't tell them those stories." "But, if they enjoy them!" "I'd even say they heal them." "Your chair's fixed now, Dani." "Thanks, Toni." "Will you sign my cap, Lleó?" "Yes, I'll sign it for you later." "Well... you swear?" "I swear." "I have to talk to you for a moment." "You shouldn't tell them these things, man." "We'll be together again, Lleó." "Your hopes are low, but you'll see." "Toni, the Bracelets...?" "I'm being discharged today!" "Yes?" "I knew it!" "I have to go and get the present I bought you." "Thanks, Toni." "I'm leaving at 6 o'clock." "I'll be there with the present." "Okay." "You have to sign the autograph." "Toni!" "You promised." "Can you write "Bracelets up, to my good friend Dani"?" "A bit long, eh?" "Very well." "There you go." "Thank you." "How's this metal work doing?" "Is it working okay?" "Yes, I've already grown 4cm." "Toni stays with me, whenever they adjust it," "He holds my hand and tells me I'll be as tall as him." "Yeah, Toni's terrific!" "I see that he's also signed." "Yes, I want the autographs of all the Bracelets." "The others, will they come some day?" "I don't think so, Dani." "Why?" "I'm sure they come and see you every day." "Well, I have to go." "I'm going at 6 o'clock." "Toni, I want you to be the orderly who takes me out of here." "Consider it done." "Take care, kid." "Take care, Lleó." "Bracelets up!" "Are you sure he's Lleó?" "Yes, of course." "He didn't say "Bracelets up"." "He hasn't said it for a long time." "A lot has happened." "Since Roc woke up?" "Yes." "Tell me about it." "Are you sure?" "It's not as fun as the swimming pool or the game of basketball." "Come on, Toni, I'm a big boy, tell me." "All right." "It all started the day we left." "We thought we'd be back together once outside the hospital, that we Bracelets would always be close." "But time passed and Lleó wasn't recovering." "The lung tumour came back, and they had to give him chemo after chemo." "The only Bracelet remaining in the hospital supporting him was Roc." "No, Roc, give it up." "I'm tired." "But he was discharged, and Lleó remained alone in the hospital." "Lleó knew that Roc would most likely never come to see him." "In fact, of all the Bracelets, only Jordi went to see him a couple of times." "But he stopped doing it." "Jordi!" "After that, Lleó stopped being Lleó." "I don't believe it." "I don't believe you didn't go to see him." "I couldn't, Dani, they were studying me in another hospital." "They were studying you?" "Why?" "Yes, they said that I was special." "And you are." "You're the best." "And then what?" "What happened to Lleó?" "The leader of the Bracelets needed us more than ever, but instead we weren't there to help him." "Lleó turned 16 and had to grow up all at once." "From one day to another he went from of being a child to an adult, a process that in the hospital lasts exactly 7 seconds, the 7 seconds it takes the elevator to rise from the childrens floor," "to the adult floor." "But then... an incredible and magical thing happened." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" "How are you?" "Fine." "Yes?" "Cris told him, that she hadn't gone before, because she wanted to be completely cured of the anorexia." "And that was the first of many visits." "Little by little, thanks to Cris," "Lleó returned to his old self." "# Sometimes you realize, that so much remains to be done." "# Sometimes the clock turns in opposition to time." "# Sometimes you yearn for what you've never had." "# It will lengthen the shadows of the days to come." "# And it's when you arrive... # that they're filled with meaning... # the dreams I've had... # but never came true." "# And it's when we're all together that I feel better able... # to take a big leap and say... # that you have me here. #" "Lleó and Cris complemented each other." "With her at his side, Lleó was happier and stronger." "But in hospital it's never quite perfect." "Where's Chris?" "She has exams." "She's great, I love her." "Always attentive to the serum, so you don't run out of fluid." "You've been very lucky, Lleó." "Hello!" "Hi." "How are you?" "Fine." "Indeed." "How are you doing, Cinto?" "I'm celebrating." "Today is the 100th chemo." "A round Number." "Oh, really?" "Congratulations." "Oh!" "I'll clean it." "No, no need, Cris, really." "It'll only take a moment." "I want you to go." "But I don't." "To study dance in Toulouse was an idea I had before we were together." "Not anymore." "But I don't want you to stop doing anything on my account, Cris." "If you wanted to do it, it was for a reason." "Well, it's a good school." "You know, I've always liked to dance, but all I want is to be at your side." "But not in hospital, this is where fate decided I must live, but not you." "You have to live your life like everyone when they're cured." "Damn it!" "I am living my life, I'm happy as well." "Damn it, you're not happy clearing up my vomit!" "Lleó, we've already talked about it a 1000 times." "Go to Toulouse, dance, enjoy what you do." "And if I recover and we're meant to be together, then it'll happen." "Lleó." "Really, it's what I want." "And what I want doesn't count?" "You have to live your own life." "And I think having someone make life easy, means I don't fight as hard against this damn cancer." "If you go away, I'll recover faster." "No." "You can't really mean that." "I'm serious." "I need you to go." "And... and that's it?" "Time to grow, Dani." "Didn't they see each other again" "Yes, just one last time, when Cris was leaving for Toulouse, but it didn't end very well." "I told you it wasn't a very nice story." "Give me your hand, Dani." "So, the Bracelets aren't together?" "No, that's why I came to work here, so that one day the Bracelets will be together again." "Hello." "Cris!" "I know you didn't want me to come back, but, in 3 hours I'm going to Toulouse, and wanted to say goodbye." "Are you going today?" "You'll have a great time." "It'll be the best year of your life." "Yeah..." "I hope so too." "Promise me you'll be happy, eh?" "I didn't come to make stupid promises." "We'll both try to be as happy as possible, but, I have the feeling that when I take the bus to Toulouse, something will be broken between us forever, and I wanted to say goodbye." "Goodbye, Cris." "You'll see, everything will be great." "No, I don't need a leader," "I wanted to say goodbye." "Goodbye, Lleó." "Hello, Lleó." "I know I can't be outside, but today it's what I need." "Relax, I just wanted to see how you were." "Cris is going today, isn't she?" "It's today." "That girl loves you very much." "Yes, and I her." "That's why I want her to go away and be happy." "I don't know if I should tell you, I promised her I wouldn't, but..." "What?" "These 3 months that you haven't been together," "Cris has come to the hospital." "What do you mean?" "She just wanted to know how you were." "Whenever they gave you chemo she was waiting for me outside, to ask how it had gone, if you had vomited a lot, or whenever they were doing a test, she was there to know the results." "I don't like having broken my word, but I think you ought to know how special Cris is." "Thank you, Esther."

"I was looking for you." "Hey, Josep, have you got my discharge already?" "Doctor Josep, Lleó." ""Doctor Josep"." "Well no, not yet." "But Dr. Abel wants you to go and see a patient who's just arrived." "But I'm going today!" "That's precisely why, because..." "as you're leaving, we'll no longer ask you to help anyone." "And what's their illness?" "wait, let me guess." "Cancer." "Eh... yes." "Only been here for a month, so don't be beast, eh?" "You already know that the first 30 days are the hardest." "I don't know if you remember." "Since my first month here... a lot has happened." "But yes I remember." "Okay, I'll help them." "Which room is it?" "In yours." "Moreover, they're coming now." "So if you want to say hello..." "But that's unfair!" "Even if I hadn't wanted to, I'd have to do it." "Cheater!" "Mr." "Josep." "Doctor Josep." "Mr. Josep!" "There's no need." "We have everything." "Of course it's needed." "Anything that you need." "And do everything the doctors tell you." "Yes, really." "You're Lleó, right?" "Yes." "The doctor told us you'd come." "We'll go away now." "Okay." "Hey everyone." "Let's have a coffee." "Yes, if you're going out put on your jacket." "There's a lot of you, eh?" "What a pain!" "Well, sometimes yes, and sometimes not." "What's your name?" "Rym." "Rym?" "I'm Lleó." "Hi." "And Rym..." "It's a Tunisian name." "My mother's from there." "Does that name mean anything?" "Well..." "It's the name of a big-eyed Gazelle, but it no longer exists, it became extinct." "It's extinct?" "How so?" "Because of the lions." "The lions?" "Did lions lead to the extinction of the Rym?" "As you see, I'll have to watch you." "I don't believe it." "Well, you can easily find out because I assume... you can read, right?" "Yeah, yeah, I can read." "Ah, okay." "But if I wanted to extinguish your family I'd need a whole pack, eh?" "Do you want to take a tour, and I'll show you around?" "Look man, you don't need to..." "It'll just take 5 minutes." "Hey, I was talking and you cut me off." "Let me finish." "Finish, finish." "Thank you." "You don't need to take care of me, since I suppose that's why the doctor sent you, right?" "You must be a kind of..." ""child prodigy" on this cancer stuff, otherwise a mixed room wouldn't be allowed." "But I told the doctor I'm fine, terrific, I don't need anyone, neither a nanny nor anyone feeling sorry for me, okay?" "I know what I have is heap of crap, and can expect more crap." "I know." "Nothing you say will change me." "Not how I am, or what I have, or anything." "Am I wrong?" "You're a lot wrong." "Oh, I'm wrong!" "Yeah..." "Can you cure me?" "I can't cure you, but I also hadn't finished speaking." "Go on then." "I don't feel sorry for you, that's the first thing." "I haven't come here to lecture you or entertain you, and I'm not a cancer specialist." "I just wanted to show you where you'll live, and a few tricks to make your daily life better and that's it." "I'm not here to babysit." "Do you understand?" "I know you've had a heap of crap and can only expect more crap, and that nothing I say will change that." "Is that it, are you finished now?" "Yes." "Okay." "Thanks for being honest, eh?" "You're welcome." "Well, do we take a tour, or not?" "No, damn it, I don't want to to see anything, I told you." "I want to ask you something." "Are you falling for me now?" "I like your bed." "It's next to the window and I'd like to be..." "Next to the street, right?" "And the best views." "That's right, chid prodigy." "Very well." "All yours, I'm already leaving." "But before you go, remove all this shit, okay?" "What shit?" "Everything you've got here." "Yeah, relax, I'll remove it." "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." "If you need to cry, cry before you need to, it's vital for survival." "What's the problem?" "Do you always anticipate in order to survive?" "Yeah..." "It's what I've always tried to do." "Good luck, Rym." "Go, Benito." "Go, Victor." "Beni, Beni!" "Andrade!" "I want out now, woman!" "Hello." "Sorry, the operation took longer." "Has he died, or what?" "Lleó!" "He hasn't died." "Let's see to you, now." "Come on, look." "Okay, the lung is fine." "You like keeping me in suspense!" "What?" "Lleó." "Lleó, what?" "It's clean, damn it, I see it, it's clean." "Yes, it's clean, it's clean, yes." "Is everything okay, Doctor?" "Lleó, you have to be strong." "This is unfair!" "This must be negotiated, dammit!" "Let me speak, Lleó." "I can't go back." "What, is this never going to end?" "It's never going to end, is it?" "I'll never get out of here, dammit!" "If there's someone above, the bastard will be seeing me one day." "Be prepared."
