"In previous episodes..." "You should try talking to Cris." "Benito, stop." "I just wanted..." "Always with your crappy advice," "Do you have cancer?" "No." "Right?" "Are you 17?" "Well forget me." "Señor Benito!" "Dammit, he's not breathing!" "Señor Benito is in the ICU." "He had a heart attack last night" "It's lucky that Jordi came, otherwise I wouldn't be around." "Jordi...?" "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." "I want you to wait in my room." "Are you looking for something of Benito's?" "I wanted to know more about him, it's just that..." "I know nothing of his previous life." "(For Lleó." "Give it to him if something happens to me.)" "I'll summon the rest of the Bracelets." "You'll see, everyone will come, Lleó." "I don't care a damn about the Bracelets!" "We'll never be together again, ever!" "We did everything we could, but... his heart will stop beating in a matter of 24 to 48 hours." "Can I see him?" "I'm here, Benito." "I'm here." "Hasn't he woken up yet?" "Yes, but he's half asleep, and has a very weak pulse." "Frankly, I don't think he'll make it." "How long has Lleó been here?" "He hasn't moved since they brought him." "Señor Benito has named him as legal guardian, and we have to tell him everything." "And is there nothing we can do?" "Lleó." "Are you hungry?" "Are you sure?" "Sleep... sleep." "Eat something." "Eat something, Lleó." "Benito." "I'm not hungry." "And how are you?" "Me?" "I'm fine." "I'm dying, Lleó." "Episode 18 [2x05]" "Subtitles by Oliver Sanderson" "We've known for some time that I didn't have much time left." "I have to be brave, and you too." "Did you get the letter?" "Yes." "Where is it?" "I have it here." "Open it." "Maybe I'll open it when you're gone, but you're still here, and will be." "I have to tell you something very important to me." "I've kept it to myself." "When I was 16..." "I lived in an amazing house, with my family," "and I had the best mother in the world." "I know many people think their mother is great, but mine was the best of all." "And I was lucky, because there are children who have no friends when they're small, they're not part of a group." "Cisquet , wake up!" "But I was lucky, I was born into a very close family." "My brothers were my group." "No, it's for breakfast!" "Salvador !" "The twins were full of energy, overflowing with joy wherever they went." "The middle one was very smart, he was always reading." "We knew he could achieve whatever he wanted." "Arnau was passionate about his bike." "He used to get up early to have it always ready." "And the youngest loved to sleep." "I think that's what he was most passionate about in the world." "Those breakfasts with my mother and my brothers and sister... were the best way to start the day." "Good morning , little one." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "In a quarter of an hour I want them all outside gathering manure." "Yes, Father." "Get a move on, it's getting late." "I won't eat it." "Vador, here." "Father was often very hungry when he was little." "He is proud that you can eat an egg every day." "But I don't like them, and neither do they." "The other children don't eat raw eggs." "Better, it makes you unique." "Look, it can be your symbol." "And... why do we need a symbol?" "Well... to be a group of true friends." "But we're already friends, aren't we?" "More than that:" "we're friends and siblings." "Yes... but if you want to be an indestructible group, you must have a symbol that identifies you, and above all, be clear what role each of you plays." "What do you mean?" "Okay." "Groups must be formed by six people:" "the leader, the second leader, who would be the leader if there was no leader, the smart one, the handsome one, the girl, and the essential one." "Do you know what Grandpa said?" "That if you formed a group like that, it would last forever, forever." "That same night we assigned the roles." "We wanted to be indestructible." "The girl." "The handsome one." "The smart one." "The second leader, who would be the leader if there was no leader." "The essential one." "The leader." "Come on, grab an egg." "One... two... and three." "We're a group, and blood brothers." "Arnau." "Here." "No, you do it to me." "Ow!" "Here, Benito." "Forever." "Forever." "Forever." "Forever." "Forever." "Forever." "Forever!" "Shall we take a photo?" "Yeah, good idea." "Ready?" "Come on." "Okay." "Raise your hand." "One... two... and three." "And that was the highlight of my childhood." "I'd never been so happy." "But it didn't last very long." "Two months later our mother got sick, and it was as if our light, our strength, was being extinguished." "And then something happened that triggered everything." "Who has it?" "Who has what, Father?" "Stop your nonsense for once." "Your mother has a few days left, and I won't allow this." "I swear it by God!" "Who took it?" "Father, we don't know what you mean." "Who has what?" "The ring, dammit!" "Where's the ring?" "Don't play games with me, eh?" "Your mother has only one ring, and someone has taken it." "I don't know why you did it, but I want you to reurn it." "This is a very big lack of respect." "I haven't taken it, father." "I don't want to know who it wasn't." "I don't like cowards." "I just want the ring on this table." "If it doesn't appear, you won't see your mother again." "My father had never hit me." "Neither me or my brothers." "That slap marked a before and after." "But his desperation infected us." "We couldn't spend even a day without our mother." "We had never fought, any of us, but that changed everything." "Who the hell took it?" "Someone has it." "Do you want to play our father's game?" "Yeah... are you going to play the policeman?" "And when you have it, are you going to give it to him." "I want to see mother!" "Father is a jerk!" "Don't insult Father, eh?" "Now you're defending him?" "He slapped me, dammit!" "What are you doing?" "Do you want to search?" "Search me." "You'd have it somewhere else." "You wouldn't be so stupid as to carry it." "Or maybe you have it." "Or you have it." "You were the last person to see mother." "You're not searching me, eh?" "Why?" "You have it, right?" "I'd never steal anything from our mother." "Let's see..." "Get off me!" "Benito!" ", Benito, what is it?" "I don't know." "Hemorrhage!" "Omeprazole!" "Lleó, get out of here." "No, I'm not going, I'm his legal guardian." "He has a hemorrhage and his pulse is dropping." "Allow us to work." "Come back, Lleó!" "Relax, I'll be back, but please don't die, eh?" "Hello." "Hello." "How's señor Benito?" "Bad." "Very bad." "He's just had a hemorrhage." "Every time he's weaker." "You know what?" "He says that if I see him suffering, I should decide for him, to not let him go on like this." "And I'm afraid that when I go in I may have to do it, to make a decision, it's just that..." "I'm nobody, Toni." "I'm not that strong." "But he believes you are." "That's what matters." "Yeah." "But it's as if..." "he's not all here." "What do you mean?" "I don't know, he's been telling me a story... about when he and his brothers were young." "I don't know where he's going with it." "He doesn't seem like the Benito I know." "Maybe when you reach his age and you tell our story to someone, that someone won't understand you either." "People change." "Yeah." "It's just that the Benito that I knew was perfect, man." "Maybe the reason he was perfect lies in what he was telling you." "Did he ever tell you that he was the handsome one in his group?" "The handsome one?" "Yes." "Indeeed he was, yes." "And they ate raw eggs." "Raw eggs?" "Raw eggs, man." "Why?" "I don't know, just things groups do." "Remember when we blew at the moon?" "It was very cool when we did it." "Yes." "We could do it again, when we're..." "I'm sorry I yelled at you before, Toni." "It's okay." "I'm really sorry." "I shouldn't have done it." "Many people have shouted at me in my life, and the truth is that it's normal that you shouted at me." "You were upset." "Do you want me to stay?" "Lleó." "Come in." "Where's Benito?" "Where is he?" "Lleó, you have to be strong." "Is he dead?" "No, he's not dead, but he's got worse." "He's suffering a lot, and we had to give him morphine." "Damn it!" "He has very little time left, Lleo." "Right now, he's only being kept alive by the medications we're administering." "Where is he?" "Now we have more privacy." "Better." "This part of the story requires it." "The doctor told me he'll try to..." "No Lleó." "I know I'm dying." "They don't do it for me, they do it for the other patients." "Nobody likes to see how the one on the next bed to them dies." "I need to continue, Lleó." "Where were we?" "You were hitting your brother." "Ah, yes." "A bad time in my life." "But I guess after that fight your mother's ring showed up." "No, it didn't appear." "No one admitted to having stolen it." "There was a lot of fear." "And your father, did he allow you to see your mother, or not?" "I never saw my mother until she had only a few hours left." "My father went out to look for the priest, and my mother came to look for us." "Mother!" "I wanted to see you." "Do you know..." "Do you know what Grandma said to me?" "Before going away." "That people don't die, that when people leave it's because they've discovered the truth, their truth." "And that we who remain, as we're ignorant, and unaware of so many things, we believe that they've died." "But what we really don't know, is that they already have the truth, and now they can leave." "People die because they get sick." "Nobody finds any truth." "You say that with such certainty, Benito, that I doubt if you believe it, or if you really know." "What difference does it make?" "You're dying." "Don't talk that way to Mother." "There's a poem that I love, which says that... death is like moving house or changing clothes." "How did it go?" "Dying is many things at once." "For children, the first end of the world." "For the furniture, stairs, knocks, loading and unloading." "For the walls, lighter square spots, in the shape of taken down pictures." "Do you understand?" "For me , your death will be less talk and more screams." "For me... for me it will be to feel more alone among so many men." "For me, it will be to stop being so much in bed." "It'll be hell for everyone!" "Let's stop this!" "I don't know what your death will be to me, nor want to know." "It's not a topic to write a poem." "You're my mother!" "Listening many times to, "I'm sorry", "it's a shame", and "I share your grief", from people who didn't even come visit you before." "A lot of words that I don't ever want to hear." "Dammit!" "They are the words of others, but will also be mine." "Now I won't manage to fill the void you have left, nothing of what I say will console you, but this strength, you have to use for the group." "Promise me you'll take care of everyone." "Use this strength to the benefit of the group." "Coming over here," "I've noticed that I was losing some of my strength." "But what's worth more, six hours alone in a bed," "or 20 minutes with my children?" "It was easy to choose." "You are a group, and if you stand together, you'll be... you'll be..." "indestructible." "Mother!" "Mother!" "Through this holy anointing and His love and mercy, may the Lord help you through the grace of the Holy Spirit, to free you from your sins, grant you salvation... and comfort you in your illness." "That extinguishes in you all power of the devil by the imposition of our hands, and the invocation of all the saints, Amen." "I'd never seen my father cry, but I didn't feel sorry for him." "I hated him because he hadn't respected my mother's last wish." "She always said she believed more in men than in gods, and that once dead, didn't want to rot in a cemetery." "She wanted her ashes to be scattered... in the place where she'd been so happy:" "the lighthouse where she spent her childhood." "But my father decided that her place was in the cemetery, and I decided that my place was far away from this man." "The hatred for a person... can be stronger than the immense love another one could have given you." "I was 16." "I was proud." "I hated my father." "Without mother, I wouldn't have been able to stand him." "But above all I hated myself." "And what happened when you came home?" "I never went back to that house." "I couldn't, after having left." "And your group?" "What about your brothers and sister?" "I never saw them again." "I was very proud." "And when 30 years later the pride disappeared, the mess was so great that I didn't know how to fix it." "Besides, the disease finished them off very quickly." "What disease?" "Unwittingly, the legacy of my mother was not only those words." "The disease of her blood was transferred to our blood." "Have you understood everything I've told you?" "Do you have any questions, señor Benito?" "No." "I long knew that the disease would come." "I guess that over the years my mother's illness remains incurable." "We've improved, but you'll need to spend some time in hospital." "You know that it affects the bones, the head, and finally the heart." "Yes, I know." "I've already lived through it earlier with her." "Since your sickness ocurred in the ER, we've notified your brother." "I guess he'll be here soon." "I don't think he'll come." "We don't see each other much." "Thanks anyway, I'm already better." "Wait here." "An orderly will come to admit you." "Thank you, Doctor..." "Andrade." "I don't think that I'll be your doctor, they moved me to the children's ward." "But I'll find a good doctor for you." "Too bad, I would have liked it to be you, Dr. Andrade." "Hello." "Hello." "Are you okay?" "Yes." "What do you have?" "What's wrong with your leg?" "I don't know, but they say they have to admit me today, and today was football." "Well, don't worry," "I'm sure you'll soon be playing football again." "Yeah, but in a few days some talent scouts are coming." "I want to play for Barcelona." "It's very important to me." "I understand." "I came to the ER and I left a song halfway though in the car, a song that I love, one of those that touch the soul." "But a song isn't the same as a training session." "Yeah, maybe you're right." "A song isn't the same as a training session." "What's your name?" "Lleó." "And you?" "Benito." "Hello." "How are you?" "Hey?" "Everything will be fine." "Are you okay?" "Yes." "You reminded me of someone." "Ah." "Your mother looked a bit like mine." "A twist of fate." "Good morning." "Hello." "I'm Nuno." "Benito." "It was about time you brought me someone of my age." "The last three roommates didn't even shave." "This is your bed." "Like to take a seat, señor Nuno?" "Come on, let's go." "Goodbye." "See you later, Benito." "I'm going for my MOT." "When they called me, I didn't believe it." "I always thought you'd be the last to get sick." "I always thought I'd be the first." "Can I come in?" "I guess that you didn't come to stay at the door." "Why have you come?" "We're still brothers, eh?" "Maybe not for long." "What's this?" "They're from my wedding." "You didn't come either." "I kept mine and yours." "I thought that one day I could give it to you." "I've never smoked a cigar in my life." "Neither have I." "I thought as we smoked our first cigarette together, we could do the same with cigars." "We coughed a lot that day, eh?" "I hope that we do it better." "Here in the hospital?" "Why not?" "Besides, if we get caught, they won't throw you out." "Smoke." "You're dying anyway, right?" "What difference does it make?" "A bit dry." "It's been a few years, eh?" "Benito, I..." "I want to help you, and to take care of you, but I need to know the truth." "If not, I can't do it." "What truth?" "Why did you take it?" "What?" "The ring." "The ring?" "Mother's ring." "Who cares about that now?" "I do, I care." "Because of that we couldn't be beside mother... when her life was fading." "I didn't take it." "I told you years ago, and I repeat it now." "Go away." "You know, Benito?" "I took care of our brothers and sister until they died." "All of them." "And they all died denying that they had taken it." "Now there's just you and me, and I didn't take it." "And why should I believe you're telling the truth, or that they said it?" "Why take the secret to the grave?" "It makes no sense." "Mother said... that when you die you find the truth." "And your truth?" "You're not dying." "Not now, but it's only a matter of time before they detect the same in me, as you." "I'll die a little bit later, but I'll also die." "Did you take mother's ring?" "Did you take it?" "I feel sorry for you, Benito." "So much time bearing a lie like that is a very big weight for the conscience." "I've tried." "I was hoping that you were brave." "I guess that, as father said, every family has its share of cowards." "You're our coward." "Goodbye, Benito." "And shortly after, your mother became ill." "I remember it like it was yesterday." "How are you, kid?" "Whenever I see you, you're crying." "What are you doing in the adults ward?" "Are you lost?" "Mom, my mother is very ill." "You didn't say anything more." "You didn't have to say anything more." "When one's afraid for the life of a mother, the tears have a very different smell, easily recognizable." "And without realizing it, that hug joined me to you forever." "It gave me the amazing opportunity to fulfill the promise I made to my mother, and that I didn't fulfill." "Sometimes... the universe allows you to correct your mistakes." "I tried to take care of you whenever your mother couldn't, devote to you all the time that she could no longer spend with you, and give you the advice that she could no longer give to you." "I know what you need:" "a little distraction." "I have the solution." "Here." "That's why, months after your mother died I explained to you, as my mother did with me, how to make a powerful group, how it's formed." "You needed friends of your own age, your group, as I had mine." "and this way, somehow, I closed the circle again." "Come on, all together." "Bracelets up!" "Yeah!" "The day that you formed the group... was one of the happiest days of my life." "I felt that my mother's inheritance was alive again, and that in some way was looking after my brothers." "Thank you for all these years." "Sometimes I forget everything you've done for me." "No, it's me that thanks you." "Thank you." "What a bastard your brother is!" "No, don't say that." "Open the envelope." "(To Lleó." "Give it to him if something happens to me.)" "Open it." "It... it's when...?" "When we created the group." "Inside is a letter that explains what I'm saying." "I didn't know if I could do it." "Take it out." "What's inside, take it out." "It's my mother's ring." "I don't know why I did it, but..." "I needed to have a piece of her." "I loved her so much!" "I never had the courage to tell the truth to my brothers and sister." "Ever." "Sometimes life is complicated by an error, and you don't know how to fix it ever again," "never, until the end of your life." "It's okay..." "It's okay." "I don't know what to say." "Lleó... promise me you'll give the ring to my brother." "Yes." "That you'll tell him what I told you." "That will mean a lot to him." "My brother now lives on a boat... next to the lighthouse." "That's where my mother lived as a child." "That's where she wanted to rest in peace." "I'd like to be cremated..." "Yes." "...and that you scatter my ashes there." "It will be... my way of asking forgiveness." "Will you do it?" "Will you do it, Lleó?" "Yes." "But I don't know when I'll be able to do it, Benito." "The time will come." "In due time." "I know that someday you'll get out of here." "That day you'll be able to do me this great favour." "Lleó, you're the son I never had." "You are the most intelligent and courageous person I've ever met." "That is why I ask one last thing." "Tell me." "Don't do like me." "Believe in the group." "Lleó, get the Bracelets back together." "I need that the circle is closed, and that for once someone gets it right." "Okay?" "Yes." "Do you promise?" "I promise." "You promise me you'll do it?" "I promise." "I promise." "Be brave." "Remember that it isn't sad to die, what is sad is not to live intensely." "Don't forget that." "I'll miss you so much." "My mother was right:" "I've found a truth, my truth." "I love you, Lleó." "I love you too, Benito." "Where are you going, Lleó?" "I'm going to my biopsy." "I want to sleep for a bit, and awake in time for the cremation." "But, don't you think it'd be better to be with the Bracelets?" "I'm sure that they want to be with you now." "I don't want to see the Bracelets, Toni." "Lleó, you promised Benito!" "You promised him we'd get back together!" "You have to join us, Lleó!" "If I could talk to him, I'd tell him you're an idiot, an idiot that doesn't remember what he did for us... when we got to the hospital scared shitless." "What are you doing?" "Smelling you." "Why did you put me in a room with a nutcase?" "Take a look at it as soon as possible." "Have you had a breast removed, Mercero?" "Have they removed your dick, to tell me that?" "I'll take a look at it when I damn well feel like it." "Get it?" "They believe that the trigger for the outbreak... may be that she returned to see Lleó." "And who's Lleó?" "Has she never spoken to you about him?" "Definitely not." "Take care of Lleó." "He's special." "Yes." "Don't worry." "The doctor put us together so I could help you, but I think in the end you've helped me more that I, you." "Thanks, good looking."
