WELCOME BLANCA DÍAZ
Blanca!
Hurry up, you'll be late.
-Have you called the cab? -Uh-huh.
Then it should be here any minute.
Just look at this mess.
I'm not cleaning it.
Of course you are. That's what they pay you for.
You're so rude!
So pretty and so cheeky.
I'll tell your mom!

-[song stops] -Is the trip over?
Yes, thanks.
Tamara, do that to Laura again, and you'll regret it.
What? I don't get it. Who's Laura?
Stay here.
Come.
This is Laura.
-Oh. -I mean it.
Hey, that was great.
Really great.
[school bell ringing]
Thanks.
We started an hour and a half late because the director rejected their shoes.
He said the shoes are too fast.
Too fast? What shoes are too fast?
I don't know. I didn't get it either, but I changed them for heels
because… I walk really slow in heels.
No, you can't do your testing here, Hosh. What are you thinking?
-Sorry. -Okay.
-Boss. -Yeah?
And he also kept asking where the hell you were.
[indistinct shouting]
-Hey, where are you taking that? -To the set, the director asked me to.
[cell phone chiming]
What's up, Mary?
[Mary] Oh, ma'am.
Sorry to bother you. Look, I don't want to be a tattletale,
-but-- -What did she do?
[Mary] Blanca won't listen to me.
I told her to clean up her room, and you know what she said?
That I should do it, that that's why you pay me.
Okay, wait, wait a sec.
-[man] No one listens to me. -Really?
How many times did I tell you what I need in this scene?
Really?
-Fast shoes? -[Mary talking indistinctly]
-Really? -Wait.
-Give me a minute. -I'm not waiting for you, Fer.
We have to sort this out. We have a movie to shoot.
…so I'd rather quit.
No, wait, Mary. You're quitting?
-No, calm down. -…a million times, flats!
-Fast shoes, so… -What?
Ernesto isn't coming. His dog is really sick.
What?
[Mary] And frankly, well, if she's going to treat me that way…
-Okay. -[Mary] It made me very sad.
-Relax. -No, I'm not relaxing.
Tell that human being to please…
I don't care if his dog dies, but he'd better make it to my rehearsal.
Mary, here's what we'll do.
Take this week off. I'll pay you, don't worry.
I just can't talk right now, okay?
It's the third time the guy cancels a rehearsal. What now? Huh?
We could get someone else?
Are you sure?
Chief, I love you. You're the best.
[man] Okay, thanks. What's up, Beto?
How's it going?
It's going.
Same as usual?
Rum and cola, but well served.
Hey.
See that?
Those two girls, check them out.
You don't see their type around here much.
Just look at that.
That's why I liked this place.
They won't stop checking you out.
They're coming!
-[inhales deeply] -Hi.
Hello.
-Hey, my friend made a bet with me. -I'm the friend. [chuckles]
She insists you're in that movie…
-Obscurity and Other Curses. -Obscurity and Other Curses. That one.
But I say it isn't you.
You know? Something really weird happened to that guy in the movie.
-Or are you? -Well, congratulations, you won.
Hey, can we take a picture?
I mean, you don't have to move much. It can be a selfie.
I'm telling you, I'm not…
Sorry, I want to be alone.
Thanks.
We could buy you a drink, go to a club, do something cool.
You know what? Your loss.
[bartender] What's wrong with you?
[upbeat music playing]
Mary.
I'm home.
Mary?
Mary.
[door closes]
[bottles clinking]
[inhales deeply]
It's late. Go sleep in your room.
Mary tried to quit on me today.
I gave her the week off.
She's going to leave us, Blanca.
I'm taking you to school tomorrow. We leave at 6:30.
[exhales]
[exhales deeply]
No, wait, wait.
Beto, Beto…
Beto, come.
Come. Wait, you'll fall.
Leave the bottle here. It's yours. I'll keep it for the next time.
I promise I will.
-[clears throat] -Come. Are you all right?
Are you sure? Are you? Really?
Look, it's better if you leave the car here.
Take a cab.
Let's keep my favorite actor safe, okay?
Okay now, off you go.
[thunder rumbling]
[Fernanda] Can’t you see we can’t do without Mary?
No, no long faces. I mean it.
Please, think about it.
Have a nice day.
[car engine idling]
And close the door. Hey!
Come here! Blanca! Come back.
Don't talk to me, I don't care, but you'll obey. Go and shut the door.
And you'd better not slam it.
It didn't close. Blanca… it didn't close.
[sighs] No wonder she's a troublemaker, with such a mom…
-I appreciate it, love. Have a nice day. -[school bell ringing]
[kids laughing]
[cell phone ringing]
[exhales]
[groans]
[exhales]
-Hello? -[man] Beto?
You only just got up, man?
No, man, of course not, I'm…
[clears throat] I'm getting in my car.
[man] Hey, come straight to the office, okay?
I'll be there in around…
half an hour.
[clears throat] Bye.
[groans]
[exhales]
-I promise no one saw you. -Everyone saw us.
-They didn't. -She humiliated me in front of everyone.
No, she didn't. I promise.
Moms can be such a drag, right?
I only came to give you something. You may be interested.
[gasps] Let's see.
[gasps] Blanca.
I'm sure you'll win.
Really? Is that why you're here?
I still can't enter. I'm too young.
[Fabían] Yes, you can, if your mom signs you up.
[Laura] Yeah, right!
What? I'm signing up.
Also, I was wondering if you'd teach me some of your tricks.
[chuckles]
You're not cut out for it.
-Why? -[whispers] He teased me first.
Of course I'm cut out for it, even more than you are.
Enter the race. Don't be scared.
[Laura] Thanks, Fabi.
It's a 100,000-peso prize.
A hundred thousand pesos in ice cream for our long and fabulous life!
[chuckles]
No, it's 100,000 pesos but in prizes.
Ice cream is a prize, isn't it?
Come on, do it.
No! My mom would have a fit if she knew I ride my bike.
[upbeat music playing]
Where's my car?
Sergio. The thing is…
I left it at a bar's parking lot, and it hasn't opened yet.
Get your act together!
"Help me help you, God will help you too." That's how the saying goes.
They're looking for you to go to a movie casting.
-No. -Why?
I told you I don't want to be an actor anymore. I'm not acting!
You owe me cash, okay?
Pay me and then you can do whatever you want.
Until then…
What is this?
It's your résumé and the headshot.
Check it out.
[Alberto] For real?
[Sergio laughs] I did you a favor.
I asked where they're filming.
So you have to hand it in to the producer, in person.
-I'll even go with you, you know. -No, no.
[indistinct chattering]
Beto, it's her. It's her!
-The producer? -Yes.
Hey, can't you-- In reverse.
I can't do that, sir.
-It's against the law. -Are they shooting there?
-Boy, who do you think I am? -You're unbelievable.
-Hey, can't you turn back? -It's forbidden to turn in the canal.
I'll get a ticket for turning where I shouldn't.
Don't tell me I didn't ask.
-What? -Come!
Hey, hey!
Come.
-Hi. -Careful, you could fall.
-Sorry, sorry. -That's not the song.
[Sergio] Thanks! Thank you. Excuse me. Come on.
[Fernanda] Miguel, perfect.
Damn, Aniceto, I told you to stop. They didn't pay!
-[Sergio] Hurry, she'll get away. -[Fernanda] Watch your step. Don't--
Oh, Mrs. Fernanda. [chuckles]
Sorry, sorry to interrupt.
-Chief! -[Fernanda] Yes, we've got to go.
[Sergio] We've got to go, of course. I'll go with you.
-We're here now. Careful. -[Fernanda] What are you doing here?
We were hanging out here, and I said,
"Oh, that's right, they're here, shooting and doing the casting." Right?
-[Fernanda] Yeah. -Let me introduce you to--
-Beto. -Boss…
-It's Alberto Díaz. -Beto… come, please. [laughs]
-[Fernanda] Oh, I know him. -He's the dad you need for your movie.
-Beto, give her-- -It's a really old picture.
Give it to her. Sorry, you know… his hands cramp when he's nervous.
-Yeah, this is his… -Résumé.
-All right. -The actor's résumé.
-It's… -[assistant giggles]
-Don't get me wrong. Sorry… -He looks great.
-You look great-- -[man] Hey!
[Fernanda] Okay. What is this?
There you are! Damn crooks!
-Okay, wait. Hey, hey! -Pay up!
Okay, enough! Leave me alone.
-I have to go. -Okay, sorry, right.
I'm Sergio Juárez. Can you give me a minute?
-I'm… his manager. -Okay.
He's my client.
Guys… look, the casting is at Del Valle, not here.
Besides, well, you can send me your material by email.
-Give them the email address. -Yes, okay.
-I've got to go, really. -Hey, no, no. Hey!
The presentation card is inside the--
TALENT MANAGER
[Fernanda sighs]
Okay, how was your day?
[indistinct chattering on radio]
Lau, how did it go?
Fine, Fer, thanks. How did it go with your movie?
It's coming along fine, great. Thanks.
-[whispers] Ask her already. -Ask me what?
Come on! Ask me what?
Okay…
Well, we found out they're holding a huge BMX race.
Blanca is really good. I'm sure she'd win.
Besides, there's this huge prize.
-Really good? -[Laura] Yeah.
So you've been riding your bike?
Why? You know I forbid it.
No, don't start talking in secret.
What did she tell you? Lau, what did she say?
Lau! What did she tell you?
[exhales]
Blanca says what happened to her dad isn't her fault.
[Fernanda] Of course this has nothing to do with it.
Of course not.
I mean, you can't ride your bike, and that's that.
-[Laura] But it's important for her. -Hey, I said no.
And no means no.
[cars honking]
[Fernanda] Move!
[exhales]
[Laura] There must be another way.
My dad says good opportunities only turn up once in a lifetime.
Well, yes.
But Santiago didn't like them, Valeria.
He didn't like any of them.
We could forge her signature.
We can't. She has to sign me up in person.
-[exhales] -Well…
I can't believe all the middle-aged actors are busy.
I mean, I chose the wrong career.
We could ask my mom to sign us up.
Lau, sorry, but your mom is much worse than mine.
No offense.
You know what?
We'll move the schedule forward.
We could dress my brother up, put a beard on him and everything.
Lau, your brother is younger than us.
So what? No one has to know.
[Fernanda] We'll shoot all the dad scenes later.
I know.
We need to find a dad.
That's what I've been telling you.
No, that's not it. Come, let me explain.
Okay. [breaths heavily]
We'll do a casting to find me a dad.
I don't know, Blanca.
It doesn't feel right.
-Fine, then I won't compete. -No, no. Don't get mad. I mean…
If your mom finds out,
she'll kill us both.
If my mom finds out, she'll kill us too. No.
-Done. -[Blanca breathes heavily]
Okay…
No, no. Okay, wait. [laughs]
There.
Just do this.
[static crackling]
[voice distorts] Blanca, hurry up.
[static crackling]
I'm leaving. [inhales]
Stand by.
Testing, testing.
Blanca, are you sure you want to do this?
Hello, hello.
-Check out the agency's name. -[phone ringing]
-[laughs] -Wait.
[Sergio] Joligud Estars, but within your reach. How can I help you?
-Hello? -[voice distorts] Is this Sergio Juárez?
[Sergio] At your service.
[voice distorts] Well, I'm calling because we're doing a major casting.
[mouthing] Hang up.
[voice distorts] And we need one of your actors.
[GPS] Turn right at Allende.
[woman] Hey… it's you.
-No. -I loved that movie. You looked so cute.
No, no, I wish.
Hey, why are you driving a cab?
No, it's not me. I mean it.
Oh, right.
Something happened to your daughter, right? I kind of remember.
You kind of remember?
[indistinct babbling]
It was horrible.
You can drop me here.
No.
-Sorry-- -Yes, drop me here.
-[exhales] -[car honking]
-[door closes] -[cell phone ringing]
[exhales]
Hello?
[Sergio] Hey, there's a casting for you. It sounds really big.
[door creaks]
I've been trying to reach you, superstar. Ready for your casting?
[exhales] Yes, all right. I said yes.
[Sergio] Hey, be really punctual, man. At 4:00 p.m. sharp.
I said I'll do it. Bye.
[sad music playing]
[sniffles]
[cell phone chimes]
[Alberto] It's perfect. You're doing great!
All right. Oh, come here!
-[girl grunts] -[Alberto kisses]

[voice distorts] If you can't read this way, then the part isn't for you.
No, no, fine, I'll do it. Of course I can.
[clears throat]
And-- Sorry, are you okay? Your voice sounds kind of weird.
[static crackling]
[voice distorts] Yes… I'm a bit sick.
Oh… what's wrong?
I did a series as a paramedic. I can check you if you want.
[voice distorts] No, no, sit, sit.
-I have rabies. -Rabies?
Well, I never came across rabies in the series.
[voice distorts] Action!

Are these the lines in the movie?
[voice distorts] Yes.
Well, sort of.
They're part of a movie. Is that a problem?
No, no. It's fine.
[voice distorts] "If you only knew the power of the Dark Side…"
"Didn't they tell you what happened to your father?"
[man] "They told me enough."
"I know you killed him."
[laughs]
[voice distorts] "No. I am your father."
[laughs]
"No, that's not true. That's impossible."
[voice distorts] "Search your feelings. You know it to be true."
What?
"No!"
"No."
[voice distorts] "Join me and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son."
The galaxy?
Is this… a Mexican film?
[voice distorts] Uh--
Can I go out and come in again?
-You don't have to give me this part. -[voice distorts] We're looking for--
-I can be the gaffer. -[voice distorts] You did really well.
-You did-- -Costumes.
I'm really good doing costumes. I mean it. I dressed myself today.
[voice distorts] We'll let you know. We just want to see more people.
We've got nothing.
Really, Sherlock?
Sherlock?
That's not Sherlock. He's Alberto.
And he didn't come. He's a no-show.
There, it's here.
[car door closes]
-He's here! To our posts. -Who? [gasps]
By the way, Sherlock is a movie.
Oh.
[Alberto] Hello.
I'm here for the casting…
[sighs]
[Blanca] Got it!
Hello?
[voice distorts] Shut the door!
[panting]

[in normal voice] "It is the only wa--"
[Laura panting] No, no, no.
-No. What do we do now? -[Blanca] Uh…
[impersonating deep voice] We're having technical difficulties.
What is this?
Really?
-No, no, no! -Don't go!
-You were the best audition. -Please.
You're our last hope!
-[door closes] -[groans]
In the movie, does Sherlock come back in the end?
It has to be Alberto. Even his last name is the same as mine.
[exhales]
Blanca, there's no way Alberto will take us seriously.
He caught us.
What are you doing, girls?
-Nothing. -Nothing. [chuckles]
Then don't get startled. Don't be silly.
Hey, Blanca, your mom called.
She can't come get you. She said you should call for a cab.
Of course.
Okay, sure.
Okay.
[chuckles] She thought you'd get mad… madder.
No, no, I truly understand.
-But call for it already. It's late. -Yes.
I know how to make Alberto listen to us.
-How? -He's a driver in your cab application.
Oh, great!
So?
He drove me once.
Oh.
-And? -We can find him there.
[exhales]
[indistinct chattering]
Sergio.
[mumbling]
Sergio.
-Sergio! -Whoa!
You startled me, man!
-What is it? -I came to get the car.
Wait.
First tell me how it went. Did it go okay?
You sent me to a couple of 10-year-old girls' prank.
Do your job and screen all the nonsense.
And change the agency's name. It's ridiculous.
Hey, really?
Look, if you'd taken the call, you would've heard…
it was an imposing voice, very serious, very… very professional.
I didn't know it was a couple of girls.
And don't mess with my sign.
It's the best decision I've ever made,
ordering it by phone.
Thanks to that, everyone knows me. Everyone.
With all the money you owe me, 80,000 pesos…
[Alberto] Yes, I know.
You do remember, don't you? Until you pay me, your time is mine.
Capisce?
A good rating, huh?
Or I'll take it away.
Beto, I'll take it away! I'll… take it away.
I didn't choose to go through what I've gone through,
but at least I can try to do something
to prevent others from suffering the same fate.
And that doesn't mean I want to lose anything.
[exhales]
[dramatic music playing]
Set!
-Come on, we're moving! -[indistinct chattering]
They only sent me four options for the father part.
-Am I right? -Give it time. We're searching.
Girl, who told you to change those scenes to the end of the shooting?
Precisely, I changed them to buy you some time.
I think it's a brilliant idea.
[laughs]
Why are you clapping?
Because you liked the idea?
Are you asking me or telling me?
-Telling you? -Perfect.
We'll change it all. Chief, don't go.
-I won't. -[Santiago] We need to talk.
-Jime, what's going on with the fire? -[Valeria sighs]
I bought Blanquita a present.
She'll love it.
Can you keep an eye on it? I'll be right back.
[Santiago] What you see there…
Okay, bring it on. Light it up.
Whoa!
[cell phone unlocks]
[cell phone chimes]
[Blanca] Search.
Search…
Cancel.
Search.
Cancel.
Blanca, they'll cancel your account.
Do you have a better idea, Sherlock?
[cell phone chimes]
Okay, wasn't Sherlock a movie?
Here he is. "Alberto Díaz accepted your trip."
Okay, he'll be here in three minutes.
-What? -Here's his number.
[panting] Okay.
Let's see.
He's here. Quick, hurry.
Come on.
[Blanca] How much do you earn a month driving for a cab app?
Why?
Do you have a better offer?
[Laura] Actually, we do.
-We could win 100,000 pesos. -[Blanca] In prizes.
Why do you interrupt?
Oh, it's you. I'll take you back home right now.
If you don't hear us out, we'll only give you one star.
[Laura] Come on. It's only from here to the park.
And we could win 100,000 pesos.
In prizes.
[squeaking]
Shh!
They're holding a BMX race, and well…
A what?
A cycling race in Mexico.
Extreme track cycling.
[spluttering] The point is my friend is super good,
and I'm sure she'd win.
But her mom is really scared of bikes, and she won't let her.
So, what we need is a dad to sign her up.
So, are you in?
[GPS] Continue forward.
In a quarter of a mile, you'll reach Green City Park.
Aren't you going to say anything?

[GPS] You have reached your destination.
[music fades out]
We've reached your destination, Miss Blanca.
Oh, but we brought you so you can
watch her ride her bike and see she can win.
No.
I'll give up my ice cream forever.
[exhales]
You can keep the whole prize.
We don't care about the money.
I don't care about money either.
[laughs] Oh, please! You drive a cab. I'm sure you need money.
What we need here is a dad to make you mind your manners.
[gasps]
Exactly.
She needs a dad.
And…
her mom hates bikes…
because her dad died riding one, okay?
What she needs right now is someone to support her in her dream.
Could you open it?
First, I'll park.
[Laura] Yes!
[car door closes]
[whispers] Don't ever talk about my stuff again.
-[engine starting] -Sorry.
[girl] Woo!
[upbeat music playing]
[girl] Woo!
-Hi, Lau. -Hello!
Go, Blanca!
Do it, Blanca!
Are you okay?
[laughs]
She's had harder falls.
Our cue to go help is when she doesn't get up, okay?
Are you all right?
[Laura] Okay.
Relax.
Go, Blanca! Woo!
[applauding]
[grunts]
-Signal my ass. Hey! -[children laughing]
[Laura] Are you all right?
I'm fine.
What are you laughing at?
I mean, can you do it?
You can't?
Lau.
I'm sure she gets it from her mom.
[mouthing]
[Laura] Come on!
[girl] Well, done, that was awesome!
-Come on, your turn. Go on! -Blanca.
It's really easy, isn't it?
-[Alberto] Blanca-- -You laugh at me, but you can't do it.
-You're scared, huh? -Enough.

-Grab your backpack. Let's go. -[Laura] Blanca.
-[Alberto] Let's go. -[Blanca] Think you're funny?
[Laura] Blanca, enough. Get a grip, okay?
So?
I'll take you home.
Aren't you going to say anything?
I can't do it. Sorry.
Why? She only fell twice.
But she did the hardest trick I've ever seen.
[exhales] It's not that.
-Then what is it? It means so much to her. -Okay, let it go.
Go. We'll get a cab.
It's here. Get in.
-No. -Get in.
[car beeps]
[GPS] You've reached your destination.
Hey, good luck at the race.
[car engine revving]
-[Laura] Blanca. -[Fernanda] Hi!
Move.
What's up?
What is that?
A bike.
Laura…
[exhales] I'm talking to my daughter here.
Could you please call your mom and ask her to come pick you up?
-Okay. -[Fernanda] Go inside.
No, not you. You and I need to talk. Please, go inside.
I just don't know how to…
How can I get through to you? You can't ride your bike, Blanca. How?
When did you take it out from the cellar?
Aren't you going to talk to me?
You really aren't going to talk to me?
[Fernanda exhales]
Go inside.
I'm giving it away tomorrow. I swear I'm giving it away tomorrow.

Well done. There, come here.

Oh, Blanca, this time you really did it. Why don't you talk to your mom?
I mean, my dad says people understand each other by talking.
[exhales]
Where can we find a bike?
[muffled screaming]
[spluttering] I'd lend you mine, but it still has training wheels.
[exhales] And we still don't have a dad for you.
[gaps] I know! Let's do another casting.
We'll ask the actors for the bike.
[mimics explosion]
Yeah.
Okay, first the bike.
I know who can help us.
Fabián.
He can lend us his.
-Ah-ha! [laughing] -Mary!
-What are you doing here? -Oh!
I thought you weren't coming back.
I missed you too. [chuckles]
[laughs]
Lau, go downstairs. Your mom's here for you.
-Okay. -Baby.
Think about it, Blanca.
Fabián could help us with one of our problems.
I'd never ask that stuck-up creep for anything.
Fabián.
What's up?
Well, nothing…
I want to apologize for what happened the other day.
[laughing] You, apologizing?
Wow!
-Told you. -No, okay, Blanca, no.
We need him. He can help.
What do you need?
-Remember the race you told us about? -Mm-hmm.
I lost my bike, and I was wondering if you'd lend me yours.
What? We're competing in the same category.
Yes, but… [exhales]
I have a better chance at winning than you, don't I?
[boys chuckle] Ooh.
-No. -Blanca, enough.
-That's cocky! -[gasps]
Blanca. [mimics deep breathing]
[Fábian grunts]
Fabián, I know I'm new here. We still don't trust each other too much.
But I want you to know I'm here to help you.
Won't you say anything?
So you're keeping quiet?
Blanca, why did you punch Fabián?
Oh, so you're keeping quiet too?
Well, this is boring.
I have no choice but to call your mom--
No, not my mom.
[hesitates] She's at a movie set, and she can't come.
But… I could ask my dad to come.
-Your dad? -Yes, my dad.
I mean… for him to come.
[cell phone ringing]
-Hello? -[hesitates] Dad.
Hey…
I need you to come to school. The headmistress wants to talk to you.
Blanca?
Yes-- Yes, Dad, but I need you to come. It's really important.
[laughs] What? No.
And don't call me Dad. It won't work.
Hey, could you drop the phone while you're driving? Please.
I'm talking to my daughter.
[moans] Please, Dad!
I really need you to come.
-If you don't… Mom's going to kill me. -Relax.
Okay, I'm on my way.
[exhales]
I'll have to cut your trip short. My daughter needs me.
-[GPS talks indistinctly] -Great, man… perfect.
He's… on his way.
[exhales]
Hello.
Pleased to meet you.
First and foremost, let me tell you I'm very pleased to meet you.
Likewise, Mother.
It's a shame we had to meet under these circumstances.
What did my Blanquita do?
Blanca got in a fight with a junior.
You got in a fight?
[sighs]
If you think…
it's appropriate to use corrective measures…
I'll take care of it, Mother.
Ouch!
Sorry, I didn't mean to.
I have a nervous tic on my leg.
-Sorry. -[headmistress] Yes.
Oh, Mr. Díaz, Blanca will be suspended for three days.
Let's hope she has a better attitude when she's back.
The Reverend Mother is waiting for an answer, Blanquita.
Yes, Headmistress.
Why do you call me Mother? I'm not a nun.
You're not?
Oh.
Uh… [chuckles]
I always attended--
Well, I went to Catholic schools, so…
Sorry. Sorry.
I can't believe it.
You broke his nose.
Why?
-He called me cocky. -[laughing] Well, yes.
Tell me, why did you break his nose?
I didn't. It just bled.
I lost my bike, asked to borrow his, and he said no.
And your bike?
[exhales]
[car beeping]
I'll drive you home.
No, please. If I'm home early, my mom will kill me.
That's not my problem. I did my part. Let's go.
No, I'll buy you lunch.
As a thank you.

death. This scene is about death.

Her name was Julia.
She died four years ago.
We…
were supposed take a trip to Valle de Bravo.
I was at the set and…
I couldn't make it home in time.
So I asked a driver from production to drive her to Valle.
I'd catch up with her later.
The driver fell asleep at the wheel.

Well, there are no rules. This isn't a game.
Well, if there are no rules, it's my turn to ask.
Why do you hate your mother so much?
She's to blame for my dad's death.
Why's that?
One day, they got into a fight, and my dad left on his bike…
and he got hit.
That's not your mom's fault.
Well, you can't blame acting for what happened to your daughter either.

I'm sorry for your loss, but Blanca is my daughter, not yours.
Raising her is my responsibility.

I--
I stopped acting because…
it was easier for me to think…
that if I hadn't been at the set…
my daughter would still be with me.

Blanca.
[Alberto chuckles]
I know you think…
a bike was responsible for your husband's death.
You have every right to think whatever you want…
but don't put that idea in your daughter's head.
She's…
the most talented and passionate person I've ever met.

[sniffles]
Okay, excuse me. Let me through.
-You can't do this. -What?
-You can't. -What?
It's collateral. He owes me money.
-There you go. -Go in.
Crap!
Uh…
[hesitates] You said it was for…
emergencies. This is an emergency.
It's an emergency.
I need your help.
Look, Blanca hadn't talked to me in two years. Thanks to you, she did.
You can't imagine how long it's been
since my daughter hugged someone the way she hugged you.
-I apologize. I know-- -Don't apologize to me.
[inhales]
Apologize to Blanca.
You're right. She isn't my daughter.
She's an amazing kid.
And you have her…
even with a loss you've been making worse.
Hey, moron, don't-- Don't talk to her like that.
Help me.
I need her to listen to me and you know how.
Please.
You're still in bed?
We have a race in two hours. Get up, love.
-Let's go. -No, I don't care anymore.
-Come on! -No, I don't want to.
-Come on. -No, Mom, I said no. I don't want to.
[exhales and clears throat]
Alberto?
[exhales]
What is this?
They're fixing up the place. It needs a change.
The mood is kind of weird, isn't it?
Nothing's going on. You…
If you're trying to convince me, it's not working.
[Fernanda] Three…
two…
[Alberto] Once upon a time…
there was a beautiful princess…
named Blanca.
Not like snow…
-[chokes] -But rather…
-dirt. -Stop! This is silly! I'm not competing.
Blanca was always angry…
-[grunts] -Yes.
-…evading the world. -[moans]
And she escaped on her bike.
[blows]
Until one day, on one of her magical trips,
she met Prince Charming…
but Blanca made him bleed…
-[puffs] -[balloon pops]
…breaking his nose.
I didn't break it!
Okay, almost.
Well, what matters here…
is there was going to be a major race in the kingdom.
-Major, to say the least. -And the evil witch…
-[chuckles] -…forbade Blanca from competing.
-[Fernanda] Is this for real? -It's for real.
[Fernanda exhales]
So…
Blanca felt really confused and didn't know what to do.
She roamed the world looking for someone to defeat.
I don't want to defeat anyone.
Until one day…
walking down the road…
she met a wise guide…
who knew nothing about life.
And…
Blanca taught the guide…
that the people who love us so much…
what they really want…
is for us to be happy…
and for us to remember them with love…
but to keep on going.
And you taught me that.
Thanks.
And the beautiful princess…
decided…
to go back to biking.
[all grunt]
You're…
the most amazing girl I know.
You're tenacious, resourceful.
You're smart, beautiful.
And when your dad left us, Blabis, I…
I lost your dad too.
Now I understand…
biking isn't to blame, but neither am I, baby.
[inhales]
We just didn't know…
what to do with this huge void he left behind.
And it was my responsibility…
to help you understand, to help you respect it,
to help you honor him, and I know I didn't know how to do it.
[sobs]
I know I don't know how to do it, but I swear I want to try.
[voice breaking]
Will you please forgive me?
[Fernanda sniffs]
I miss you, Mom.
[whispers] You're my baby, never forget.
[clears throat] Okay now, we have to go.
-Sorry to pressure you… -[Mary] Yes!
[Alberto] Come on!
-[Laura] Me too? -[Fernanda] Let's go!
-[Mary] You're late. Please, Blabis. -[Laura] Oh, no!
The bike!
[indistinct conversation]
-[Mary] Fine, okay! -[Laura] Hurry.
It's okay.
[Fernanda] Is this your gear? Put it on.

-[Alberto] Which way? -[Laura] It's late.
[Sergio] The girl!
Hi, Blanca Díaz.
Yes, we're here.
-Blanca… -[Fernanda] Everything's fine, okay?
No, the elimination race is about to start. You can't go in.
No, listen, you don't understand. My daughter has to compete.
You could get in trouble.
You should've gotten here on time if it's that important to you.
No, you don't understand.
We have to go to the starting line right now.
-You can go in. -Thanks. You're so kind, so understanding.
Let's go, hurry.
[announcer] Lane number six…
Azael Prieto!
Lane number seven, Iván García.
-Help me with the bike! -I can take it.
I'll take it up, hurry!
The seven bikers are ready for the 17th BMX race!
Announce her, she's here. Her name is Blanca Díaz.
-What's going on? You can't be here. -[Fernanda] Announce her.
What? The girl is late. She can't compete.
The race hasn't started. Announce her! Her name is Blanca Díaz.
-[announcer] Who are you? -I'm her mom.
Hey, I'd do as she says. Blanca Díaz.
-Blanca Díaz. -Say it!
-Fine, but step down. -No wonder she's fierce.
In lane one, we have Blanca Díaz.
[crowd cheering]
[indistinct conversation]
-[Mary] Blanca, we're with you. -[Fernanda] Yes, we're with you.
[announcer] Bikers, ready!
Ready. Bring it on, people!
And… off they go, ladies and gentlemen!
Blanca Díaz pedaling fiercely. She leads the race. She's flying!
This girl is amazing. Entering the first curve.
What a way to pedal! Neck and neck trying to catch up with the girl.
She's flying down this BMX track in this first heat, pedaling through.
There she is, coming in.
And she pedals. Keep pedaling!
The spectators are going crazy. We hear them cheering for Blanca!
There's no catching up with her.
Entering the third curve. She's flying.
Blanca makes it to the final!
Blanca Díaz wins the heat!
Blanca Díaz qualifies for the grand final!
[whistle blowing]
[Fernanda] Oh, you're great!
[Blanca] Thanks!
[announcer] To choose the rest of the finalists,
the second elimination heat for the children's category begins.
-[Laura] Fabián's race! -[Mary] Come on, Blanquita!
[Alberto] Let's go. I'll take you.
Blabis, I can't believe you did it, darling.
It was so steep. I thought you'd get hurt, but you didn't. You're the best, love!
[announcer] And… go!
And they're flying!
[cheering] You're the best, Fabián!
It's good sportsmanship, okay?
You're obviously the best. Come on!
[girls shouting]
[announcer] They're neck and neck.
This is so close.
I can't believe it. Going into the second curve.
Fabián, what a move!
Who will win? And it's…
Fabián!
Fabián wins the third heat and qualifies!
This is exciting. Who will win?
Go. The check!
Come on. It's your turn.
-Prove what you're capable of. -[whistle blowing]
I trust you.
-Okay. -Go get them.
I'm so proud of you. And I'm sure your dad is cheering you on.
[soft music playing]
I can't see anything from here. Let's go higher, come.
-Come on. -[Mary] I can't see a thing.
-[Fernanda] Come. -Higher?
[Fernanda] Yes.
[announcer] And the final we've all been waiting for!
Congratulations. Ready?
You had a great race, but your track was easy.
Oh, really? And yours was hard?
[Sergio] I'll be your bodyguard, right behind you, always behind you.
-[Fernanda] Love… -You brought your posse?
[Fernanda] Have I told you you're amazing?
[announcer] You can't be here. I said you couldn't. Please.
[Alberto] Blanca, focus, okay? Focus.
-I love you. -You'll win. Go get them!
Blanca! Magic dust.
All of you are great too, but she's really good.
-You're the best! -[announcer] Enough, please get back.
We're starting now, okay?
-You're the best. -How's it going, people?
Now we'll start this Mexico BMX grand finale!
[cheering and applause]
We're ready to start this grand finale!
Bikers, are you ready?
And… go!
Blanca Díaz flies by!
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side! And Fabián is right behind her!
Blanca leads at the curve. The girl won't stop fighting!
What a girl! Blanca Díaz leads the race!
Fabián is racing second. And third is Pato, neck and neck…
Blanca Díaz in the lead!
Fabián is racing second. And third is Pato, neck and neck.
And they approach the second curve.
Wow, Blanca Díaz does a wheelie!
Blanca Díaz coming in.
Pedaling hard! This girl is from another planet!
Unbelievable! Great, Blanca Díaz!
The girl is going to win the race!
Fabián and Toro. Toro, Fabián…
-Oh! There's an accident. Oh, my God! -[girl] They fell.
There's been an accident in the last curve.
And Blanca's going to win the final!
-[Sergio] Go back to the race! -[announcer] What's going on?
And she managed to hit the brakes. What's happening?
-[Fernanda] Please! -[announcer] What is Blanca Díaz doing?
Blanca Díaz is going back to check on Fabián, her contender…
-Are you all right? -Yes, are you crazy?
-Just a little. Hop on. -What?
I said hop on.
[announcer] And Toro wins the race!
But Blanca Díaz, what is she doing? What a great BMX finale!
Blanca Díaz finishes her race. That's what we're seeing.
The crowd is going absolutely wild.
Her family is going crazy. Blanca Díaz is a champ.
Blanca…
We love you, Blanca! We can't believe it.
What a moment! They're crossing the line. Go, Blanca!
-[panting] -[whistle blowing]
You were saved from me beating you.
Saved? I saved you.
Of course you didn't.
-Great loss. -[Fábian] Likewise.
Excuse me, may I? [groans]
My darling, that was… amazing.
But I lost.
But in the best way. Congratulations.
[girl] Are you okay? Did you get hurt?
[Valeria] Blanquita! Are you all right? That was amazing! Congratulations!
Hey, girl, what was that? You fucked up.
-What? -You fudged up.
-[Alberto] Hey! -I said fudged. It's an expression.
[Alberto] Don't talk to her like that.
You just made my client lose his money, my money.
So how much does he owe you?
Eight thousand?
-Eighty, eighty thousand. -Now's not the time.
Not now.
Alberto, would you like to go back to acting?
Well, yes. [chuckles]
See you first thing Monday morning.
I'm so proud of you.
-[Fernanda] Oh, we love you, gorgeous! -[Blanca] I love you too.
[all chanting] Blanca!
A picture!
Wait a sec. Take it.
