Mr. Altarriba...
-Yes. -She broke the screen.
Why did you lie for me?
I like to lie for someone interesting.
You find the mopping world interesting?
Where are we going?
Damn it, Saray!
No, damn you, you snitched about my eye.
What the fuck are you doing here?
Get out of here!
No, no, don't shut it, don't... no, no no!
So I don't have cancer then?
No! You have what we already know.
Yes. Menopause.
Hello.
Hello, Gladys.
Hey, is your maid good?
Don't look at me like that,
I don't enjoy this either.
I was prescribed some pills for my hand yesterday...
Tere, I told you to take a leave of absence.
I would like to see you.
Could we have a drink, when you finish, somewhere else...?
No... it can't be.
we could get organized, like our workmates in Barcelona did,
they organized an assembly.
What do those union members in Barcelona earn? 2000 Euros a month?
I don't have a normal life, Martin.
I need people to help me adjust.
Andrea was scammed!
Andrea knew exactly what she was doing!
And who knows when she'll be back!
Or if we'll be alive by then.
I see a lot of hard things each day at work, Espe!
People die!
You know what? I'd like to have my period back.
I feel I little old.
I'm sick of it, Espe!
Because we've had enough of keeping things inside.
EPISODE 4 - LINE DANCE
I've spent half of my life among linen sheets,
and cotton and terylene sheets...
I'm not a nosy woman, ok?
But it's hard to look the other way when it's so easy.
Luckily,
sheets are now useful so that I,
from up here, won't blush...
If I'm being honest,
I don't really miss sex, I miss food.
I wish I could have some fries from the beach bar!
Anchovies, octopus, croquettes...
Or a delicious breakfast in the bedroom, it cheers you up.
Or doesn't it, Espe?
THE INVISIBLE LADIES
Toast, some fruit, ham and cheese,
caffe latte and a couple of splendid fried eggs...
Well... Splendid...
Something had to fail, right?
Don't worry.
And only because it's not appropriate time,
but I'd open a bottle of wine from the minibar.
I love the wine world!
Diego, you know I don't have time.
Not even for a toast?
Do you think it's discreet to ask for breakfast for two?
It isn't discreet to come here at 7 a.m. either.
I know, but that's when...
my group isn't here, they haven't arrived yet.
I've been coming for two weeks and no one's caught me.
Do you know how hard it is to make combinations
and lie at home?
Diego,
do you have a girlfriend at each spa?
Very direct of you.
Yes or no?
No.
I had some flings, but nothing serious.
But you were married.
Yes, but we separated after two years.
She worked in Seville, I worked in Bilbao.
It was when we prioritized work over love...
I see.
But now it's different...
Here...
I'm sorry. I'll clean it up.
Yes...
the last think I want to do
is give my co-workers more work.
Diego, I have to go.
I have to leave the hotel, to come back in,
and do the daily show.
See you later.
Why haven't I met you 30 years ago?
-Thank you. Have a nice day. -Don't worry at all!
Does it hurt?
It's a little tight, but... it is what it is.
Will you be able to manage well?
No, she should ask for a sick leave,
but she won't out of fear of being fired.
Here comes her speech...
Come on girls, do you want to fight
for better working conditions or what?
I can't see myself at a protest.
It's not a protest!
No, it's the Chambermaid's Association Assembly, right?
Yes.
I said yes already and you can count on me.
I know, but the more the merrier!
What do we get from it?
-What if Mapi finds out? -I can't lose my pension.
We might lose our jobs.
No one will lose their job for going to a meeting!
Don't count me in, Gladys.
Oh, Espe...
Why don't you try to fit it into the other commitments you have?
Does anyone have some cologne?
I'll pay the squatters so they'll leave.
2000 Euros is a lot of money. Think about it.
I thought about it.
I pay, they leave. It's over.
That's what they want, that you want it back quickly.
These people take over knowing the owner will pay.
I know, but I can't take it anymore.
Fuck them, Marisa.
Let City Hall intervene!
I've been there three times a day and no one paid me any attention!
If I'm not over with this soon, my head will explode!
I'll go to the bank now, ok?
I'll get the money, give it to you, you pay them and they leave. Done!
I'm late, I have to go.
It's only been a few minutes!
Yeah, sure...!
Yes, we're on our way! Wait for us at the bar!
Your father has no idea! At the bar!
Hey, girl!
We'll be back in two hours, so take that time to clean it now.
Asshole...
Are you firing me?
Don't look at me like that.
It's the fourth time you're late...
busy with hair salon made-up stories.
They're not made-up, they're real!
Ask German!
I don't care about your life outside.
When you're here, I want your 100%.
Ok.
Can I come back tomorrow then?
We'll see.
I'll call the company when I need you
and they'll send you a text for you to come in.
Why did they refill the detergent? I told them a thousand times.
You can go now.
No, let me help you.
You won't have time to clean your own rooms.
So, what?
I don't like owing favors.
Are you being serious?
Thank you.
It's awful.
People are so filthy.
They're disgusting. Disgusting!
I'd punch them right in the face if I could! Come on...
I'd really enjoy that...
Isabel.
Can you come with me one moment?
Yes. When I finish helping Saray.
Don't you see how filthy the room is?
I see...
Girl, so many things happening at this hotel lately...
Yes, you're right.
And if you come with me, I'll tell you some more.
What?
You tell me.
Ok, so now... you know.
Oh my God! So you and Mr. Altarriba...?
Diego, Diego.
Diego!
Yes, Diego.
How did it happen?
I don't know, Isabel! It just happened!
Does Juan know you're cheating on him? Is he suspicious?
Hey, Isabel! Stop it!
Ok, I won't say anything,...
but I'm in shock!
I can be in shock, can't I?
I suddenly found out my friend is having an affair
with the useless sprinkling water guy!
So no, not useless after all...
But please, don't mention anything inside the hotel!
Nothing at all in here.
No hints, no nothing, I know you!
Hey, I know how to keep a secret.
But I want to know everything.
Shut up.
Can we go inside?
How much do you have?
What? A thousand bucks, what we agreed.
A thousand? No.
There's two of us here.
Two thousand each, so, four thousand.
Are you out of your mind? That wasn't the deal.
I don't care shit about the deal.
Four thousand bucks!
And if I don't get them I'll tell the little brat
that you're the one that got us in here!
-Motherfucker! -Don't touch me!
-You bastard! -Fuck you!
It bothers me
because Marisa brought it on herself!
She's having a hard time.
I know what I'm saying,
I've been beaten up a lot thanks to my bad head.
Tell me more.
No, I'd rather not. I'm really tough.
What's this?
My home.
You don't live in a flat?
As you can see, I don't.
Shall we?
Damn it...
It's empty.
You could fit a lot of people in it.
And you have a freaking pool?
Yes. Do you like it?
And that's for what, for the king to dine?
It's for the summer.
But I'll show you the bedroom first.
So, explain this muscle thing to me.
Did you know the squatters asked me for more money?
What? How?
Yeah. The squatters want more money.
How terrible!
You better not give them anymore.
Don't even think about it!
Fuck them!
I'm the one who's fucked. I lost the hotel and the hair salon.
Don't say that!
Mapi will call you again. You'll see!
Yes, whenever she wants. What if she doesn't want to?
She can do whatever she wants with us because we're outsourced.
We used to be hired directly by the employer.
-See? We should be united. -Of course!
Gladys, I can tell you haven't been cleaning shit for 20 years!
And been paid shit for it.
But I love your attitude because I can tell
you have the energy to be our savior. Very motivated!
Yes, Gladys is motivated, Espe. What's the problem?
You're also motivated for...
for... your things.
Are you coming on Saturday or not?
No.
I have no motivation to change the world.
Besides, I don't care if the world is a mess!
It can keep being one.
I just came here to have a beer, damn it!
-Ok! -I hope I can!
And you're not letting me.
It's politics this. Squatters that.
-What a miserable afternoon! -Hey!
I'd like to know more about the muscles.
Oh, Espe!
Martin!
Are you going to take long?
I didn't understand what you said.
I'm sorry I can't help you.
Would you like ask something else?
What are you saying, you idiot?
I won't answer to that.
Come on.
I asked for the jam that you like.
-Are you ok? -Yes.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
It's... the usual.
You know I love to be here with you, right?
But, Diego,
I can't come see you every day.
Even less now that Isabel knows.
But you're friends.
Yes, but imagine someone else saw me.
It's dangerous. Please understand.
We could meet outside.
Let me take you out to a place where no one knows us tonight.
Ok.
You're ignoring me.
-I'm not ignoring you. -Yes, you are.
I got out of the shower and you were gone.
So what?
-You think that's normal? -I was in a hurry.
Ok. But you haven't answered any of my texts or calls.
If you have something to say, just say it.
I don't, I told you already.
I had things to do...
-I still like you... -Ok, ok...
Ok, what? Are you playing cute?
Are you playing tough?
-I don't need you to control me. -It's not control.
Saying goodbye is good manners.
I go in and out as I please. And that's it.
We can meet, if you want.
-And if you don't, then we don't... -Of course I want!
-Come to my house this afternoon. -No.
I mean, yes, but not at your house...
let's go to a bar, or whatever!
Good morning.
Hey...
It's pay day.
I can't believe the activities are worth so little.
Not everything is profit. They have to be paid for.
So relax, sister, no wonder Marisa's worried
about losing her job with this attitude of yours.
I'd be worried too.
But relax, Marisa's in good hands.
You're helping her with the salon.
Aren't you?
Let's give it a rest,
or we might end on the floor
pulling each other's hair if get into it.
You always tend to speak before you think.
Yes, like when I offered you a 10% commission...
and not a 5.
Brother...
don't you forget who got you a job at this hotel.
Excuse me...
Motherfuckers...
Let's go.
What were you doing?
Paying my respects to a dead man.
-You knew him? -No, but I buried him.
I remember many of them...
He was a special case: Jaime Robles Campoverde.
Hardly anyone came to bid him farewell.
I wonder what his life was like.
How sad.
And what we have now is worse.
We're amazing professionals.
We'll do it wholeheartedly.
How unfortunate! Such a young kid...
Help me out.
Ouch, you're running me over!
Help!
Call an ambulance!
You hurt me so much! A lot!
Is mom coming?
No.
Why do you ask that?
You look so happy...
Well...
There are good days and bad days.
We don't have to always be sad.
Right?
What's wrong?
I can't breathe deeply.
What do you mean?
I have been restless all day.
My heart is beating weird.
Are you going out?
Yes.
I have an interview with a lady
who... wants me to clean her house and such...
and earn some extra cash.
Does it have to be now?
Juan... I didn't set the appointment.
If today doesn't work for you, tell her another day.
Who decides what works for me? You?
No, go, go.
Run, don't be late because of me.
Why because of you?
I think you're fine. As always.
I'm not fine! I'm going to the ER!
-Why are you going to the ER? -It doesn't matter.
It's not like you care much.
Go! Run to the lady
who's waiting for you to clean her toilet.
Tell me what it is!
Wait! Come on!
Is this my present...?
-Careful don't bump yourself! -No, I'm fine!
There's a step.
Don't hold on so tight!
We're close.
-What's the surprise? -Turn to your right.
Turn to your right and sit down.
Wow!
-What do you think? -It's nice!
It's a good one.
It's so cool! How much did it cost?
Who cares.
It's a whim and I can afford it.
This way we each have our sofa.
Oh, so wonderful!
Hey, can I go visit your sofa sometimes?
Oh, I don't know, I hadn't thought about it.
You can try...
I don't think I'll have supper today.
Why? Can I make you something? Some taquitos.
No, thanks.
What you could make is the bed.
I made 20 beds today already and many swans...
So... I would like a swan on our bed too but...
you don't even make it.
So, enjoy your sofa.
Hello, Isabel...
Hi, it's me.
How's it going?
Fine. Pablo's washing his teeth and I'll tuck him in now.
-How's Juan? -I don't know, I'm here waiting.
He's been in there for half an hour but still no news.
He'll be fine, you'll see. You know how he gets!
Yes! I do know how he gets...
Listen, I'll call you when I know something.
Thanks for everything.
Ok. Well... Good bye.
Kisses, thanks.
Kisses.
ISA'S GETTING MARRIED!
What did they say?
It may be arrhythmia.
Or it may not.
They have to make some tests.
Ok, let's go already.
I can't run today...
Can't you walk a little faster?
We've been here for two hours.
Alright! I'm so sorry!
I'll never sabotage any of your important plans again.
Go, go! You're in a big hurry. Run!
Juan.
This is the last time you yell at me in front of people.
Is that clear?
I'm leaving, Alicia.
Oh! Good morning...
how are you?
Fine.
Hey, Gladys, could you come over to my house for a few hours?
Sonia Cisneros!
Stop! I heard you!
Don't be a witch!
Maybe just 3 hours a week.
-She can make a little extra... -No...
No...
Remember, we meet outside at the end of the day.
Saray, that color looks great on you!
Thank you.
Hide that from Mapi.
Sooner or later Mapi will find out you're going to Barcelona.
We have the right to protest.
-Are they taking that away too? -Hi my loves!
Hello!
I'm back as a punished woman.
What did Mapi say?
She said yes to this week, but we'll see about the next...
She'll hire my services from the company whenever she wants.
-What a bitch! -As always...
Gladys!
Yes?
I'm coming with you to the assembly.
That's my girl!
Of course!
-Hey... -Beautiful!
Do we have to say something? Because I can't...
No, no... We only have to go.
-Is it a dress? -Yes.
Hello?
Come on, fuck me!
You're cleaning up your shit with your tongue if I catch you.
Pigs!!
Yes, you, filthy pigs!
Yes! Don't look at me like that!
You're a bunch of pigs! Rich assholes!
This room is a huge disaster!
What is she doing?!
I'm not your slave!
You make me sick! Damn it!
You're here to shut up and clean.
Wonderful.
What you did goes beyond bad manners.
I may have bad manners, but you know what?
At least I'm clean.
See my uniform?
Look at it! Not a spot!
Finish up and leave.
Did you see the room?
Get out of my sight, Saray!
Are you really firing me, Mapi?
Damn it! I know I messed up,
I messed up...
But, listen to me!
I signed a commitment with the Foundation.
And with Claudio!
Unbelievable.
When I mentioned the Foundation
she changed her mind.
Claudio can't break the agreement with the Foundation.
But it's quite unbelievable. I swear I saw myself fired.
Don't worry too much,
they're going to kick us both out anytime.
The squatters already did you.
Thanks for reminding me.
Shit, wait...
Because of those bastards I can't open my hair salon...
What hair salon? It's just a shitty space...
A shitty space they stole from me! It was very expensive!
I know a guy
that can fix your squatter problem in a day.
No, I want nothing to do with your shady friends.
I don't need another mess.
What would your friend do?
Well, it would be illegal but he'd do justice.
The system taught me.
Let's go to Barcelona, girl, I really need to unwind...
How are we going to unwind at a cleaner's assembly?
Right.
We can just go get a beer if we get bored.
Let's go now or we'll be late.
Do you know it's the first time I'm around here?
-Really? -Yes...
The hotel is five km away.
I know, but...
I live far away.
I wake up very early, get on the bus, go to the hotel... I work all day,
then get back on the bus to go home. I'm exhausted when I get there...
and I just want to go to bed. And then I do it all over again.
I'm sorry I interrupted that routine...
Well, I interrupted yours too.
You're evil! You make me lose focus!
The spa will be a disaster!
I hope it is! I hope it all goes wrong!
And then they have to hire you again.
And then it goes wrong again. And so on and so on...
And let all the years go by!
That's not the way it works...
I know, Diego.
But let me dream, ok? I deserve it too.
Maybe for once in my life things will work out for me.
The banners turned out great.
Yes, they're nice.
Give me the big one, I want the big one.
-Oh, really? -I can hear it already!
I think it's this way.
Let's follow them.
Oh, my God.
Here is our colleague, Marta.
Un aplauso para nuestra compañera, por favor.
My goodness...
-They're all cleaning ladies? -Yes!
We must eradicate the chambermaids' outsourcing!
IF WE STOP THE WORLD STOPS
FIGHT AGAINST THE WORKLOAD, GET ORGANIZED!
CHAMBERMAIDS FIGHT
Cleaning workers demand
to be hired directly by the hotel!
We are part of the staff!!
Yes!!
No, no, no to outsourcing!
A month ago...
Gladys, a lovely girl, called me.
Come up, Gladys.
Come up!
Gladys told me:
"I'd like to go to the assembly with my co-workers,
but I might not be able to convince them".
I can now say she was able to do so, and here they are!
Gladys! Gladys!
Gladys!
WE'RE NOT SLAVES
Hello... hello...
I'd like to share something...
Today, the housekeeper at the hotel where we work
told one of our co-workers:
"You're here to shut up and clean".
And I say: Yes, we will clean.
-But they can't shut us up! -No!
I'm from Mexico.
And in Spain, we have colleagues
from Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador...
We know what fighting is, because it's in our blood!
Yes! Come on!
There are millions of chambermaids in the world
and you know what? We're essential. All of us.
If we don't do our jobs, clients don't come back.
And tourism goes down the drain!
We aren't asking for privileges,
we demand dignity!
Dignity! Dignity! Dignity!
Tell them to take care of us.
No, you tell them, Isabel. Come on, you tell them.
Dignity! Dignity! Dignity!
Hello!
I just want to say that...
we just want to be healthy, right?
They're working us to death!
So I ask: is it so hard for them to treat us well?
No!!
Dignity at work now!
Dignity at work!
It's obvious that I'm not the only one dreaming.
As Gladys said, we have to be united...
dance to the same rhythm... simultaneously...
as if we were cowgirls.
Even if I never liked yankee stuff too much...
from my private heaven...
it looks beautiful.
Dancing is much more interesting than sex.
And much more fun.
At least, that's what I think.
And I speak my mind fearlessly!
Do you want to know who has a lover?
Who?
-Mr. Altarriba! -No!
-Really?! -Do you know who it could be, Espe?
You can't step into my shoes because you're not married!
You love to remind me that I'm not married!
Relax, I won't speak again. Neither about you or with you!
Gladys, she got syndicated.
I'm worried she'll drag the others.
I came down here to offer you a proposition.
Would you like to be part of the hotel's creative team?
I need a favor.
-I see. -It's for a friend.
The squaters took over her shop and won't leave.
What can I do?
Rober, what you always do.
This isn't one of your finest moments,
And what about the future?
There's a man.
Alfonso!
Isabel! Why don't you come over and take a picture with it?
-What are you doing here? -You saw Rober.
You knew we had a sacred pact. And you broke it.
Are you selling mom's jewels?
-Isabel. -Give them to me.
Give them to me. Jesus!
Andrea!
I told him you're working on a farm.
What can I say? I want the boy to be happy.
-Hi. -Hi.
Rober. Marisa.
I've seen a side of you that I don't like.
I'm so sorry about that. So... You do you and I'll do me.
