THE LAST WORD
What are you doing here? - Your sister let me stay to wait for you.
- I'll kill Teresa! I swear I'll kill her!
Leo, you texted me everyday! I had to put my mobile in silent mood!
Do you want me to lose my job?
- Sorry, Paulo. I want you so much. That's why I'm here.
I want to have a final conversation with you.
- You shouldn't have come, Leo. There's nothing to talk about. - Paulo, I must answer to the London guys.
And before that... I wanted to come here to look at your face. - Ok, Now you saw me!
- Now, get out, go to London and start all over again! - I'll go, but tell me in my face that you don't like anymore.
Tell me! Tell me if you can!
- How are you?
I wasn't expecting to see you here. - I've just arrived. You're the first person I see.
- I know you were in the house. We didn't had the chance to talk...
- Yes, I was home, but just to pick some stuff I needed. It was fast. - You could have told me.
- I know. That's why I'm here.
- After you saw me sleeping at the door, we didn't speak. I've been working...
... you had that problem with André...
- And things keep going very complicated...
- Bro...
I want to apologize about my behavior.
I had a kid's behavior.
- I wasn't expecting that you leave home as a teenager.
But, anyway. You're old enough to have your own house.
- I wanted to talk to you about that. - Do you need a guarantor to buy a house?
- No.
I was thinking about coming back home.
We are very different. We've always been and I think sometimes you forget that.
- Yes. Maybe you're right.
- You took father's buisness and turned a neighborhood mini market into this: a big shopping center network!
- You're a well succeeded man. You're the businessman of the year! I'm non of that.
- Miguel, a lot of people wanted to have your job. - Yes but I'm up there in the clouds.
... And you're down here, got it? I don't wanna have a family and kids.
And you're the most respecting person when it comes to family.
- What are you trying to say with all this conversation?
- What I mean is: yes, I could have my own house but I miss you guys.
It's really different for me to arrive from a trip and go to an hotel room, or go to your house.
- You can live with us but you have to respect our rules. And now house rules are more important that ever!
- I understand it.
And I hope you understand my request as well. - Of course I do.
You can keep on using our house as your family hotel!
- Do you want me to talk to André? Maybe he'll listen to me. - Well, you have the same mind age...
- Hey! - Hey, what? Is it a lie?
You can pilot private jets everyday but you have a 18 year old mind.
But, ok. Try to understand what's up with André.
Me and Rita don't know what else we can do.
Ok, thank's!
- It's better for you to dress and go away before my sis arrives home. - Just a bit longer! Your sis wouldn't mind!
- But I mind, Leo! This shouldn't have happened! - But it did, Paulo!
- This only happened because I was out too many days. - And because you've miss me.
Is it that hard for you to admit that you lie me? - This was a relapse!
- Relapse? What am I to you, Paulo? An addiction or a disease? Ah?
For me you're much more than that.
- This can't happen again. Especially here.
- You know it will happen again. - No, it will not, Leo! No!
Pick up your things and go away! Go to London and start your life from zero!
We won't be together! Not now neither ever! Got it?
Leo, go away! Disappear from my life! Disappear!
André, what's happening with you, pal? You're very sick. Do you want me to call a doctor?
Are you listening to me? Answer me!
Come on, help me to get you up! - I don't want to, uncle! Why?
- You'll take a cold shower to take of that drinking smell. If your parents see you like that, they'll freak out!
- I don't want to, uncle!
- Did I ask you if you wanted it? Did I?
- What happened, André?
- Alice...
I want Alice, Uncle. I want her! I can't live without her!
- Does that make any sense?
- Think with André. Will you find Alice in the bottom of a bottle?
- No. - Exactly!
Heartbreak are to forget! You'll face many in your life. You need to move on, otherwise you'll be doomed.
- No! Alice... Alice is special...
- Come on, pal! Shut up! Every girl is special. I meet a special one at any street!
- Forget it, uncle. You don't get it! My parents don't get it! Nobody gets it!
- Do your parent know you're dinking like this? - No. Why? Are you gonna tell them?
- I already told you: If they see you like this, they'll freak out with you!
- I don't care! I don't care about my parents!
- But you should! They give you everything and you thank them like this?
- I'll help you this time. I wont tell a thing. But if you do this again, if I see you like this, I'll tell them everything!
- You'll tell them? Ok! You do that and I'll never talk to you again!
Actually, if you tell them, I'll run away from this house!
No, uncle! - Do you think I'm afraid of you?
I'm a nice uncle, pal! But if you make me choose between beeing your friend or beeing tough, I'll be tough
Don't play with me! Let's go to the shower!
- Come on, unlce! I don't wanna go to the shower! I don't! - But you will!
- Please, not the shower! - Let's go now!
Be careful here! - No!
- Help me to put in under cold water! No, Uncle!
- Paulo, can't we speak other time? I have patients waiting for me!
- I had a person waiting for me as well when I came home. Because of you! - Oh, Leo likes you!
And you like him! Why is it so hard for you to admit it?
- Teresa, it's my life and I live it as I want! I told you before, I don't wanna be with him. Don't you get it?
- Why don't you accept you won't be able to live your life without love? - Look who's talking!
You've been living by yourself for ages! Since Bruno's death, it looks like you closed yourself to the world.
- You don't have the right to compare the two relationships!
- You're totally right! They are not comparable!
Teresa, what you had with Bruno was love. True Love. What I have with Leo is different... Is more...
- It's more what? - It's sex!
- Paulo, if it was just that, you wouldn't be so disturbed when you saw him here waiting for you.
You can say what you want, but if it was only sex, it would be solved long ago.
You know it is more than that. You just can't admit it because of your stupid and homophobic boss!
- That stupid invested in me thousands of euros! He gave me a job many of my colleagues do envy!
- I know all of that! But is that enough for you to live unhappy?
- It's my life, I live it as I want! Don't you do what you did today ever again!
- Hi, Ana! Is Nelson there? Ok!
Yes, I'm on my way! See you in a bit.
I have to go.
- Thank's for coming. - It's ok. But why did you call me? What's up?
- It's André. He just freaked out. He was totally drunk, vomiting in his room.
He told me it was because of you. - I thought he had forgot this story.
- He didn't and it looks like is not gonna make it so soon.
That's why I called you. Maybe you can talk to him.
- You did the right thing, but I don't know if I can help. - But you have to try.
I want to avoid telling this to Fernando and Rita but André must stop this. - Yes.
What if he gets worst? - In that case I'll have to talk to his parents.
But, talk to him and help him! Maybe he'll listen to you. - I get it. I'm gonna try it.
- But I can't promise anything.
- You asked Alice to talk to André? - Yes, what's the problem? Maybe she can change his mind.
- She's a bad person, uncle! - What? Why are you saying that?
- Because... It's nothing, forget it! - No, no, no. You can't say something like that and then tell me to forget it.
Tall me what's the problem. - It's just a feeling I have.
- So, your aunt is a bad person because you have a feeling. You think I believe that?
What are you hiding? - It's nothing! I told you! Forget it!
- No. Tell me what's happening here. - Isn't it obvious? My bro likes my aunt... and she's kinda pretty.
You can't blame her for beeing pretty and you can't blame your bro for liking her. - He did everything for her..
... He thought she was on the same page but he was dumped. Put yourself in his place. What would you do?
- I'd probably get drunk like André. - Do you think it's only André's fault?
- If she didn't give him any hopes, he wouldn't be so down as he is now. Do you know what I mean?
It's her fault as well.
- Thank's for calling me. André really needed to talk about somethings.
- He really likes you. - I like him too.
- I hope I helped anyway. - If is calmer, that's a start. He was pretty bad when I arrived.
- I believe you, but I think now he's gonna change his attitude.
Anything else? - No.
- I was just thinking about the impact you had on André... - And?
- I can tell why he got so fascinated with you. - Thank you.
- What are you doing here?
- It's my fault, Rita. I asked Alice to come over. - For any particular reason?
- I found some documents of her here. - Yes, my ID Card.
- So I told her to come and pick it up. - Sure, you need your ID.
- Yes, I need it, but I came right away because I really miss living in this house.
I miss you...
I miss to see you around as well.
- Have you been with André? - No I haven't been with André.
- He could have come down stairs... - No, he didn't come down stairs.
- Yes, she was with me all the time. - I wouldn't be with him without you around anyway.
- Ok, but I trust you... I do..
- And don't get mad with Alice. Get mad with me. I was the one who called her.
- That's a nonsense, Miguel. I don't have any reason to get mad with non of you.
Everything's ok. - Good.
I'm gonna take a shower. Don't count me in for dinner.
Are you going out? - Yes.
- Are we still upset?
- You know I can't be upset with you for long. Come here!
- That's good!
- But don't do that again. Don't let Leo be here. Imagine if I came with Miguel. That would be the end!
- Ok, ok. Deal.
But you can't blame me for wanting you to be happy. - But I'm ok like this, Teresa.
I like to be like this. I like my independence.
And you should understand that better than anyone. - Should I? Why?
- Because you are all by yourself as well.
- But I liked it better before.
What?
- A person just likes to be alone when he thinks nobody's interested. - Oh, that's a lie!
- That's totally a lie in your case.
You don't have a commitment with Leo by your own choice. - It's not like that. You know there's much to risk!
I don't wanna through out a part of my life that I don't wanna lose.
But, I understand that you don't get it. Have you ever been interested in somebody and you couldn't admit it?
- It's possible.
- It's possible?
Who is he? Do I know him?
- No. - Teresa, you know you can trust me. You can tell me your things.
- Who his he?
Do I know him?
- It's a patient.
- Can't you send him to a colleague of yours?
If you stop beeing Nelson's psychotherapist, you can be together.
- That's not so simple. - Why?
- It isn't! - But that's because it isn't or because you don't want it to be?
- How do you say such things!? - You tell me I don't wanna be with Leo because of my career. What are you doing then?
- Don't compare it! I need to be ethical and to have professional commitment!
I need to take care of my patient and as a doctor I can't be in a personaly relationship with him!
- But if he's not your patient anymore, then you can! - Do you know why he came to my office?
- Why? - His marriage is in crisis and he can't find the courage to put an end on it.
That's not comparable to what you have with Leo. Is it?
Nelson came to ask me for help. Today when I saw him so down I just wanted to hug him and protect him.
- So, what's your doubt anyway? - I'm too much confused...
But above it all, I must preserve the psychotherapeutic treatment.
He trusted me. I can't let him down.
- What if he falls in love for you? - I don't wanna think about that.
I told you. I have an ethical commitment and as a doctor, I can't disappoint Nelson.
Now, you can do something to change your life.
I did.
I gave freedom to Leo.
- Paulo, someone in love doesn't want freedom.
- Good night. - Good night. - Come in!
- What are you doing here, Leo? I told you not to come here again.
- Paulo, I must take a decision about my life today.
Sorry for being so insistent but I really need you to give me a final answer.
- I don't get it why don't you accept the London job offer and go once and for all.
- I'm waiting for you to tell me that you like me and you want me to stay here!
- I like you, Leo! I like! But I don't want to have the kind of relationship you dream of!
I don't want any commitment with you or anybody else! Can't you get it!?
- You're lying! - Don't go that way!
- You don't want to be with me because you're afraid someone finds out about your sexual orientation!
But I don't mind to live with you in secrecy. I told you before!
- Live in secrecy? Leo, stop to fantasize! I won't live with you anyway! - You want the same as me, I'm sure!
- Leo, this is getting obsessive, ah? - You know you can't run away, don't you?
It's our fate! We will be together! - I don't want to live with you!
- So, say it once more! Say it!
- I don't wanna live with you! You were just an affair I had.
Actually, now I regret I looked at you in the first place!
- What's happening? Stop it! Stop it!
Did you just freak out or what? Aren't you adults? Can't you both solve your problems by talking?
Paulo, I don't want this kind of situations in the house, ok?
- Don't worry, Teresa.
Leo, won't come here ever again...
- I don't want our neighbours to think that we have mad guests.
- That's all you worry about! What others will think! - Yes! I'm worried about it and you should worry too!
But you can't understand that so it's better for us not to see eachother again! - Calm down, Paulo!
- No, I won't calm down, Teresa!
I just want this guy to accept the London job and to get out of my life forever!
Now, do you understand it, Leo? - Paulo, don't be like that! Please!
- Let it be, Teresa.
You don't need to defend me.
I got it all.
Don't worry, Paulo.
You won't hear from me ever again.
But you can be sure about one thing...
Nobody will ever love you as I do.
