00:00:00Doctor?
00:00:01Okay.
00:00:02Great work, Anthony.
00:00:03Hi.
00:00:05Marcus?
00:00:06Dot.
00:00:07Is this really necessary, Monica?
00:00:08I have to get back to my desk.
00:00:10I don't trust that new kid answering the phones.
00:00:13That new kid?
00:00:15Marcus?
00:00:16He's been working here, what, five years?
00:00:18Which I don't know.
00:00:19I don't know.
00:00:20I don't know.
00:00:21I don't know.
00:00:22I don't know.
00:00:23I don't know.
00:00:24I don't know.
00:00:25I don't know.
00:00:26I don't know.
00:00:27I don't know.
00:00:28I don't know.
00:00:29Five years.
00:00:30Which is like one month compared to my 45 years as head receptionist.
00:00:34Yeah.
00:00:35Well, I have some bad news for you.
00:00:37You're not going to be answering any more phones today.
00:00:39You sprained it pretty badly.
00:00:40How'd you do this?
00:00:41Got into a fight with a filing cabinet.
00:00:43Believe it or not.
00:00:44I won.
00:00:46Have you met the new practice manager?
00:00:49Um, not officially.
00:00:52I'll be fine.
00:00:54Go.
00:00:55Introduce yourself.
00:00:56Straight home.
00:00:57Don't think I won't find out.
00:01:00Hi.
00:01:01I'm Monica Miller.
00:01:02Alex Blake.
00:01:03Uh, walk with me.
00:01:05Let me know if you need help finding your way around.
00:01:08You can be a bit of a maze.
00:01:10That's why they say you are the person to go to with any questions.
00:01:13Hmm.
00:01:14You know, uh, by the way, I was going over to personal files and I noticed that you haven't
00:01:18taken any vacation in, what, four years?
00:01:22Huh?
00:01:23That's right.
00:01:24Wow.
00:01:25I guess I'd rather spend my time with the patients than gallivanting through Europe.
00:01:28Which I suppose is commendable.
00:01:31This place depends on me.
00:01:32I don't want to leave the hospital high and dry, I'm sure you understand.
00:01:35Of course.
00:01:36That's why you have a team.
00:01:37You know, I actually just got back from, um, gallivanting through Italy with my family
00:01:42for two weeks.
00:01:43And other than the jet lag, I've never felt more ready to take home my new role.
00:01:49Sometimes you just need a break, you know?
00:01:51I'm sorry.
00:01:52I didn't mean it like that.
00:01:53Oh, no, no.
00:01:54Don't worry at all.
00:01:55Just, um, promise me to think about it.
00:01:58I promise.
00:01:59Okay.
00:02:00Nice to meet you.
00:02:01Likewise.
00:02:02Hi.
00:02:03Hi, love.
00:02:04Hello.
00:02:05How are you?
00:02:06Good to see you.
00:02:07You too, mom.
00:02:08How was your hiking trip?
00:02:09Canada was breathtaking.
00:02:10You would have loved it.
00:02:11Hmm.
00:02:12Okay.
00:02:13Something's up.
00:02:14What's going on?
00:02:15I didn't get the promotion.
00:02:16I didn't get the promotion.
00:02:18I'm sorry.
00:02:19I'm sorry.
00:02:20I'm sorry.
00:02:21I'm sorry.
00:02:22I'm sorry.
00:02:23I'm sorry.
00:02:24I'm sorry.
00:02:25I'm sorry.
00:02:26I'm sorry.
00:02:27I'm sorry.
00:02:28I'm sorry.
00:02:29I'm sorry.
00:02:30I'm sorry.
00:02:31I thought you were a shoo-in for the practice manager.
00:02:34So did I.
00:02:35They hired a very nice woman named Alex.
00:02:38Oh, I'm so sorry, honey.
00:02:40I just thought if I work so hard that it will ensure I get the promotion.
00:02:45And then once I got the promotion, I'll know I made it.
00:02:48Made it to where exactly?
00:02:50To the point that made it all worth it.
00:02:54To the top of the mountain I've been climbing all these years.
00:02:57Oh, sweetie.
00:02:58It's not about reaching the top.
00:03:00All the good stuff happens while you're on the journey.
00:03:03Listen, love.
00:03:04Making it, it's not about a job promotion.
00:03:09It's about balance and joy.
00:03:13Chasing the next big win never gives us the satisfaction we think it will.
00:03:17You didn't say that when you wanted us to compete on the amazing race.
00:03:21The only reason they didn't choose us is because it wouldn't be a fair race for anyone else.
00:03:26But you submitted us?
00:03:27I did.
00:03:28Hello.
00:03:29Hello.
00:03:30Hi.
00:03:31Would you like something to drink?
00:03:32Yes.
00:03:33Um, a double espresso with no milk or sugar, please.
00:03:36Okay.
00:03:38I wonder if he's single.
00:03:40Mom?
00:03:41What?
00:03:42You can't blame me for trying to play matchmaker.
00:03:44I don't remember the last time I had coffee with a girlfriend, let alone had time for a date.
00:03:48You give so much to everyone else.
00:03:52What about giving something to yourself, if not romance?
00:03:55How about we talk about a vacation?
00:03:58I know exactly where you should go.
00:04:00The Camino de Santiago.
00:04:02The Camino?
00:04:03Mom, that's more of a pilgrimage than a vacation.
00:04:07Do you really think walking hundreds of miles in Spain is a good way to get the rest and relaxation I need?
00:04:13I know it sounds strange, but it will heal you in ways you can't even begin to imagine.
00:04:18You know, um, your dad and I, we were both at a crossroads when we first met on the Camino, searching for something more.
00:04:28And who knows, maybe you find love there too.
00:04:31Taking some time to relax.
00:04:33I am relaxed.
00:04:34You're a double espresso.
00:04:38Don't give me that look.
00:04:40I'll think about it.
00:04:45Think about it.
00:04:56Okay, you talk. Go ahead.
00:04:58No, no, it's not.
00:04:59Watch.
00:05:01This has to show up up there.
00:05:03See?
00:05:05Do you want to get some of this stuff?
00:05:07Okay, go.
00:05:10Mom?
00:05:11I'm in.
00:05:12I'll go on the Camino.
00:05:13Mom?
00:05:14I'm in.
00:05:15I'll go on the Camino.
00:05:16Mom?
00:05:17I'm in.
00:05:18I'll go on the Camino.
00:05:30Mom, I'm in.
00:05:37I'll go on the Camino.
00:05:39I'll go on the Camino.
00:06:09Well, almost, anyway.
00:06:11This village is stunning.
00:06:13It's like stepping back in time, isn't it?
00:06:16Soak it all in, honey.
00:06:18Must feel good to be traveling again.
00:06:20Remember back in college when you dreamt of seeing the world?
00:06:23Did I remember to tell Alex about their post-op schedule?
00:06:26Honey, they'll be fine.
00:06:28Well, so I've been told.
00:06:30Did you bring the devotional?
00:06:31Oh, I did. Thanks, Mom.
00:06:33Now, I know a daily mindfulness journal isn't your usual thing,
00:06:37but your dad picked it out before you passed for a time when you'd need it.
00:06:42This seemed like it.
00:06:43Monica, you don't have to be certain to take a leap.
00:06:47In fact, it's better not to be.
00:06:49The opposite of faith isn't doubt.
00:06:52Certainty.
00:06:53He loved that saying.
00:06:55I remember.
00:06:56But in my mind, he always seemed so certain.
00:06:58Well, certainty and trust can seem like similar things, but they're not.
00:07:04Your dad always trusted the journey, even when he didn't know where God was leading.
00:07:09And that's what he wanted for you, too, Monica.
00:07:11To know that who you are right now is enough to start.
00:07:16I'll try to remember that.
00:07:17Oh, I better get going.
00:07:20I'm meeting Consuelo at 9.30.
00:07:22Oh, oh, don't forget your pilgrim passport, huh?
00:07:25Ah, right.
00:07:26Thanks.
00:07:27Love you.
00:07:28Bye, love.
00:07:29Bye.
00:07:29Morning.
00:07:47Morning.
00:07:50First time?
00:07:51Is it that obvious?
00:07:53No, but I've worked here a long time, and there's a different kind of look in the eyes
00:07:59of those who haven't worked before.
00:08:01Is it a look of delusion?
00:08:04More of a nervous uncertainty, I'd say.
00:08:07Yeah, that tracks as well.
00:08:09That does it.
00:08:10Don't worry.
00:08:11I can tell you you're going to have a beautiful camino.
00:08:14Camino hermoso.
00:08:15You'll see.
00:08:16So, important.
00:08:17This is your pilgrim passport, okay?
00:08:21Every time you arrive to a new town, make sure to get it stamped.
00:08:25At the end, you will present it at the pilgrim's reception office in Santiago de Compostela,
00:08:29and to receive your official Compostela certificate.
00:08:32This has been a tradition for over 1,000 years.
00:08:35Wow.
00:08:35Mm-hmm.
00:08:37You're welcome.
00:08:39Buen camino.
00:08:40Gracias.
00:08:41De nada.
00:08:42Bye.
00:08:43Bye.
00:08:43Bye.
00:08:46Uf, don't want to be nice.
00:08:52Um, Consuelo?
00:08:55No.
00:08:56No, no, no.
00:08:56Soy Consuelo.
00:08:57Lo siento.
00:08:58Oh.
00:08:59¿Te puedo ayudar en algo?
00:09:00Sorry.
00:09:01Do you speak English?
00:09:03English, French, German, Spanish, whatever you'd like.
00:09:07Wow.
00:09:08I really should have paid more attention in high school Spanish.
00:09:11Um, I'm looking for my tour guide and the rest of my group.
00:09:14I think they might be running late.
00:09:15Being punctual is rarely possible on the Camino.
00:09:19Give them some time.
00:09:20If it gets too late, you can always head to your accommodation and wait for them there.
00:09:26They'll assume you decided to go ahead.
00:09:28Oh.
00:09:29Okay.
00:09:31Bye.
00:09:32Bye.
00:09:32Bye.
00:09:32Bye.
00:09:32Bye.
00:09:32Bye.
00:09:32Bye.
00:09:34Bye.
00:09:34Bye.
00:09:34Bye.
00:09:34Bye.
00:09:34Bye.
00:09:34Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:35Bye.
00:09:36Bye.
00:09:36Bye.
00:09:36Bye.
00:09:36Bye.
00:09:36Bye.
00:09:38Bye.
00:09:38Bye.
00:09:38Bye.
00:09:40Bye.
00:09:40Bye.
00:09:40Bye.
00:09:42Bye.
00:09:42Bye.
00:09:44Set your heart to wait with trust and not with a lack of confidence in his ability or willingness
00:10:10to move on your behalf.
00:10:16Okay.
00:10:17Message received, God.
00:10:40Would you consider yourself a patient person?
00:10:45Why or why not?
00:10:48Well...
00:10:5130 minutes.
00:10:54Say I was more than patient?
00:10:58Right.
00:11:00Speed.
00:11:02Starting walking room.
00:11:05Estimated time, two hours.
00:11:08In nine meters, turn right.
00:11:09Turn right and continue straight for 4.8 kilometers.
00:11:10In nine meters, turn right.
00:11:11Turn right and continue straight for 4.8 kilometers.
00:11:15Wait.
00:11:16You've got to be kidding me.
00:11:17Continue straight for 4.8 kilometers.
00:11:19You've got to be kidding me.
00:11:21All right.
00:11:22That's all right.
00:11:23In nine meters, turn right.
00:11:24Turn right and continue straight for 4.8 kilometers.
00:11:29Turn right and continue straight
00:11:35for 4.8 kilometers.
00:11:43You've got to be kidding me.
00:11:45Continue straight.
00:11:58Can I help you?
00:11:59Oh, I'm fine. Thanks.
00:12:01Did you get lost on your way in?
00:12:04Lost? I know exactly where I am.
00:12:06Why would you assume I'm lost?
00:12:08Just a hunch.
00:12:09There is our lost pilgrim.
00:12:12Consuelo?
00:12:14Monica.
00:12:17You look even more beautiful
00:12:19than the picture Olivia sent of you.
00:12:22Thank you for finding her, Luis.
00:12:24Oh, uh...
00:12:25Yeah, yeah.
00:12:26I wasn't actually lost.
00:12:28My GPS just kind of rerouted me.
00:12:31GPS can be clever,
00:12:32but you've heard about the yellow brick road?
00:12:35Here, we follow the yellow arrows.
00:12:37If you see those or the scallop shell symbol,
00:12:41you know you're on the right path.
00:12:43Okay?
00:12:44Okay.
00:12:44Okay.
00:12:45Good.
00:12:47For the record,
00:12:49rerouting is just a fancy way of saying lost.
00:12:51You're really enjoying this, aren't you?
00:12:53Monica, you've already met Luis.
00:12:59Let me introduce you to the rest of your compañeros.
00:13:02This is Ernesto, Luis's father.
00:13:04Nice to meet you.
00:13:06And this is Mateo, Luis's son,
00:13:08and our youngest pilgrim.
00:13:10Hi.
00:13:11Hi.
00:13:11We're glad you finally made it, Monica.
00:13:15Oh, uh...
00:13:16Actually, I was here on time.
00:13:18I waited about 30 minutes,
00:13:20and then I headed out on my own.
00:13:21Didn't go as planned, but I...
00:13:23It's okay, querida.
00:13:24We didn't mind waiting for you.
00:13:26No, I was here at 9.30.
00:13:29Really?
00:13:29If you started without us?
00:13:31How did you end up back here?
00:13:33Ah.
00:13:34Oh, uh, her GPS rerouted her down.
00:13:36Oh, GPS, I see.
00:13:37Yeah, I hear there were some trail closures?
00:13:40Yeah.
00:13:41This is what happens when pilgrims
00:13:43keep their eyes on a screen.
00:13:45Isn't that right, Mateo?
00:13:47Not sure if this even qualifies as a screen.
00:13:49It was a compromise that
00:13:51the guy didn't let him bring a smart key.
00:13:54Yes, I got Dad's old relic.
00:13:56That he does anything.
00:13:57Don't act like you're not enjoying
00:13:58playing snake on that thing.
00:13:59Snake? I mean, what do you...
00:14:00I don't really care what kind of phone it is.
00:14:03What's the point of a pilgrimage
00:14:04if you're not disconnecting?
00:14:06Your abuelo has a point.
00:14:07It's okay, he doesn't have a...
00:14:08It's okay, boys.
00:14:09That's enough for today.
00:14:11Let's go.
00:14:13Those three have been bickering
00:14:15since we left France.
00:14:17Don't worry.
00:14:18You'll get used to it.
00:14:20And you'll also get used to the Camino
00:14:23having the path of its own.
00:14:26You can plan all you want,
00:14:27but sometimes it just has other ideas.
00:14:32Right.
00:14:33Of course.
00:14:33But, you know what?
00:14:37If it's okay,
00:14:37I would love to try to stick to my itinerary,
00:14:40you know, make the most of the Camino.
00:14:42Inocente.
00:14:44Um, in that case,
00:14:46we better get going, yeah?
00:14:48Vámonos.
00:14:49Vámonos.
00:14:49Venga.
00:14:50Claro.
00:14:50Vámonos.
00:14:55Your mother told me you work in an emergency room.
00:14:58That must be a very fast-paced job.
00:15:02Very.
00:15:02It's part of what I like about it.
00:15:04This must be quite the change of pace for you, then.
00:15:08Yes.
00:15:09I'm not used to going as slowly.
00:15:12The Camino has its own rhythm,
00:15:15and it's not always going to be the rhythm we expect or want.
00:15:20Well, as long as I don't miss anything important.
00:15:23Do you think we'll still make it to the village by sunset?
00:15:26I heard it has a spectacular view.
00:15:28We'll arrive after dark.
00:15:29The sunset may be gone.
00:15:30But the moon already shows up with its own kind of beauty.
00:15:37Perhaps view this journey as a challenge for yourself.
00:15:41The Camino is not meant to be easy.
00:15:44That's it.
00:15:44I'm not challenging myself enough.
00:15:47Yeah.
00:15:47Yeah.
00:15:48Do you mind if I walk ahead of the group?
00:15:50If I pick up the pace, I think I can get there by sunset.
00:15:54Yes, of course.
00:15:55Yeah.
00:15:56We wouldn't want you to miss anything important.
00:15:59Thank you, Kate.
00:16:06Why let her rush off like that?
00:16:09The Camino is not an obstacle course.
00:16:12Every pilgrim has their own walk.
00:16:16And perhaps you would get more out of your own walk
00:16:20if you shifted a bit of your focus from others to yourself.
00:16:25Please, God.
00:16:35You're fine.
00:16:37Please, God.
00:16:38Don't you go.
00:16:39I'm sorry to take a bite from others to yourself.
00:16:47Don't you sleep?
00:16:48Don't you to take that bite?
00:16:49I'm unfortunate.
00:16:51And maybe you now let them come.
00:16:51Rewriting again?
00:17:00I got it.
00:17:05Heads up!
00:17:07Here.
00:17:08Oh, thank you.
00:17:10You guys caught up quickly.
00:17:11You hadn't gotten that far yet.
00:17:15Oh, it's okay. I got it.
00:17:16Hey, just give me help.
00:17:21Boom.
00:17:22There you go.
00:17:28Sure.
00:17:33You're, uh, not really good at accepting help, huh?
00:17:37Uh, I don't usually need this much of it in my real life.
00:17:40How much easier would life be, though, if you had someone to help you put your shoes on every day?
00:17:47Now that you mention it, I don't know how I've gone this long without it.
00:17:49Shall we?
00:17:52Yeah.
00:17:53Rushing through the Camino.
00:17:55It's, you know, like rushing to church.
00:17:58It's meant to be slow.
00:18:00It allows you space to breathe.
00:18:03These days, everyone is in a rush.
00:18:06Everyone.
00:18:06They, they distract themselves with anything in order to not to sit with their own thoughts.
00:18:15Believe it or not, I agree with you.
00:18:18Yeah, I believe.
00:18:19I could have reminded Monica that the Camino is not meant to be rushed.
00:18:24Of course.
00:18:24But I find wisdom often finds pilgrims best on its own.
00:18:29Well, well, you think so.
00:18:30Consuelo.
00:18:31Mm-hmm.
00:18:32It seems like the Camino doesn't want me to go ahead on my own, huh?
00:18:35Yeah.
00:18:36The less you find it's rhythm, the quicker you will learn to dance with it.
00:18:42Oh.
00:18:43Thank you again for your help back there.
00:18:51Walking the Camino with one shoe is a challenge, even for me.
00:18:56Look, I'm just glad we got your shoe back.
00:18:58Off my day pack a couple days back, and before I even had a chance to, like, try and grab it,
00:19:04the river just took it.
00:19:05Oh, what was in it?
00:19:07Nothing important.
00:19:08One notebook, some snacks.
00:19:10One divorce for dummies book.
00:19:11Oh, you're being serious.
00:19:17Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:19It's okay.
00:19:19I've read more than my fair share on the subject.
00:19:22It's just the how to not mess up your kid chapter that I'm rereading for the hundredth time.
00:19:28It was amicable, but I just worry about how it's all affecting Maddie.
00:19:33Well, I'm sure watching you two walk through it with love is helping them a lot.
00:19:38Thanks.
00:19:38That definitely sounds a lot better than my current career monologue.
00:19:42So, where's home for you?
00:20:00Boston.
00:20:00No.
00:20:04Me too.
00:20:05What?
00:20:06That is such a crazy coincidence.
00:20:10The longer I'm on this Camino, the less I believe in coincidences.
00:20:14Hmm.
00:20:15Or it could be that my mom and your family used the same travel agency to find Consuelo.
00:20:20No, my dad met Consuelo through a mutual friend here in Spain.
00:20:23A couple more days on the Camino, and you might start to think differently.
00:20:33How long have you guys been walking?
00:20:35Seven days.
00:20:37Hmm.
00:20:37And what's something you've seen differently so far?
00:20:41Well, I think my initial reasons for coming on the Camino are nothing more than, like, a superficial, surface-level interpretation of the actual reasons why we're here.
00:20:51There's a lot more to unpack on this journey than you might think.
00:20:54A lot more to unpack.
00:20:56Spoken like a true intellectual.
00:20:58And, I'm going to guess, a therapist?
00:21:03Psychologist, actually.
00:21:05Oh.
00:21:07And what brings you here, Dr. Luis?
00:21:10Well, ten days ago, when I told you it was to spend more time with my family.
00:21:15And today?
00:21:17I don't think I have the answer for you.
00:21:18But I definitely know it's a lot more than, you know, three generations about wetting him in on some sort of homecoming trip.
00:21:26You said homecoming. Are you from here?
00:21:28Yeah, I, uh, grew up here.
00:21:30Well, until I was about eight, anyway.
00:21:32We'll actually be passing right through my village soon.
00:21:35That is so cool. I cannot wait to see it.
00:21:38Yeah, same. It's been a while.
00:21:39You know, when we left, my dad wanted a fresh start, but he never really let go of Spain.
00:21:46Talked about it constantly.
00:21:48Always, uh, wanted us three to take this family bonding trip together.
00:21:52Well, how's the bonding going so far?
00:21:54Let's just say, it's not exactly the way I envisioned.
00:21:57Maddie is in search of Wi-Fi instead of wisdom.
00:22:01And my dad has other ideas.
00:22:04Where does that leave you?
00:22:07Somewhere in the middle.
00:22:09Trying to meet their expectations while simultaneously trying to figure out my own.
00:22:15Sounds like there's a lot to unpack there.
00:22:24Hola.
00:22:25Bienvenidos.
00:22:27Perfect timing.
00:22:28Gracias.
00:22:29Gracias, guapa.
00:22:31Dinner's almost ready.
00:22:32Oh, who's hungry?
00:22:33Consuelo, were the inns along the Camino always made for the pilgrims?
00:22:40Many of them, yes.
00:22:41Including this one.
00:22:43But inns are not the only accommodations.
00:22:46Many families choose to open their homes to pilgrims.
00:22:50Claro.
00:22:50We used to host buildings all the time at our house before we moved to the U.S.
00:22:58I read that judges used to sentence prisoners to walk the Camino as a form of penance.
00:23:02I can relate.
00:23:05Maddie, my mom did not exactly give me much of an option about coming on the Camino either.
00:23:08Okay.
00:23:09How about we play a game?
00:23:11Who's up for some verdad or reto?
00:23:14Oh, yeah.
00:23:17Truth or dare.
00:23:19Oh, that sounds much less intimidating when you say it in English.
00:23:22Okay.
00:23:23I'll go first.
00:23:24Monica, truth or dare?
00:23:26Well, it was less intimidating for a minute.
00:23:30Truth, I guess.
00:23:31So, Monica, who are you?
00:23:36I am a nurse practitioner at an emergency room.
00:23:41My hospital is just outside Boston, Massachusetts.
00:23:44Not what are you, but who actually are you, Monica Miller?
00:23:50Who am I?
00:23:53As you can see, we don't really do small talk on the Camino.
00:23:58We get deep very quickly.
00:24:01Okay, why don't we just do something a little simpler?
00:24:04I don't know, what is something you enjoy doing outside of work?
00:24:07Well, I don't get outside of work much these days.
00:24:12I actually can't remember the last time I did something just for the fun of it.
00:24:16In the past, did you have any hobbies or things that you really enjoy doing?
00:24:24Actually, I did take a pottery class in college on a whim, and I loved it.
00:24:29Oh, the hours would fly by like minutes.
00:24:33An artista?
00:24:34How wonderful.
00:24:35No, I don't...
00:24:36Why did you stop?
00:24:37If I'm honest, it always felt slightly self-indulgent.
00:24:40I felt like I should have been doing something more productive.
00:24:42When will your generation learn that one of the most productive things you can do in life
00:24:49is slow down?
00:24:50The only hassle you should be familiar with is the dance.
00:24:56Eva, sube la musica!
00:24:59Vale, eh?
00:24:59I used to love that dance.
00:25:06Remember Ernesto?
00:25:07I dare you to join me.
00:25:09I dare you to join me.
00:25:14Yeah.
00:25:15Have you never been in a hostel before?
00:25:37I guess not.
00:25:38Oh, well.
00:25:40In that case, here you go.
00:25:47Oh, yeah, you're going to need those earplugs.
00:25:49Trust me.
00:25:52Good night, Monica.
00:25:54Good night.
00:25:56Hey, just heard the socks went to extra innings.
00:26:00Won by a run.
00:26:01So cool.
00:26:02I thought you'd like that.
00:26:04Nice work.
00:26:34List a few things you're thankful for today.
00:26:59I didn't sleep great, but I'm definitely grateful that Consuelo gave me earplugs.
00:27:04Without them, I wouldn't have slept at all.
00:27:07Do you prefer to feel capable or dependent?
00:27:09What situations bring this out the most?
00:27:12Why do I feel like this question was made for me?
00:27:15Capable. Always capable.
00:27:18Depending on someone feels like admitting defeat.
00:27:21Although I am very grateful that Luis saved my shoe from the ravine.
00:27:24I thought I might find you out here.
00:27:26Oh, good morning.
00:27:27Good morning. I'm not interrupting, am I?
00:27:29No, no, no. I was almost done.
00:27:31I'm trying to do a devotional every day to be more mindful.
00:27:37Funny, I also have a list of intentions that I go through every morning.
00:27:42Look at us trying to get the most out of our Camino.
00:27:45At this point, I settle for Maddie, thinking I'm not the least cool dad on the planet.
00:27:50What? You brought him to Spain for a month for a backpacking trip. That is pretty cool.
00:27:57Yeah, by backpacking trip, you mean spiritual pilgrimage with Grandpa and Dad.
00:28:01Okay, yep. See what you mean?
00:28:03By the way, coffee's ready. You want to head back?
00:28:06Yes.
00:28:06Oh, thank you.
00:28:11Of course.
00:28:15This reminds me of being a kid.
00:28:18It does.
00:28:20Oh, thank you.
00:28:23Oh, this is beautiful.
00:28:26Oh, buenos dias, compañeros.
00:28:31Good morning.
00:28:31Buenos dias.
00:28:34How did those earplugs work out, Monica?
00:28:37Good.
00:28:38Dad, you really need to start using those nasal strips that I got you.
00:28:41Why would I need to do that?
00:28:43Your mother never once said I snore.
00:28:46It's because that woman was a saint.
00:28:48Yeah.
00:28:49You put on an entire symphony last night.
00:28:51No, no, no, no, no.
00:28:52You're wrong.
00:28:54It was, at most, two beautiful cords.
00:29:00Hey, let's say a prayer before we go, okay?
00:29:04Little Papa.
00:29:05Another one.
00:29:07Look, I'm sorry.
00:29:08It's just, I don't know if I really believe in all that.
00:29:11Okay.
00:29:11More of a reason to pray, then.
00:29:13If you are uncertain, the last thing you should do is close up your conversation with God.
00:29:20Especially considering how helpful divine intervention could be with this teenage attitude of yours.
00:29:27Okay, okay.
00:29:28Why don't we all just have a nice little quiet moment of reflection?
00:29:31Reflection is not the same thing as prayer.
00:29:36Ernesto, um, my dad always used to say it's in stillness that we're open to that communication with God.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48Yeah.
00:29:49Do you mind if I join you?
00:29:51No, of course not.
00:29:52Sure.
00:29:52Yeah.
00:29:53Me too.
00:29:54Oh, yes.
00:29:57Well, we take this moment to reflect and to give thanks to God for all our blessings.
00:30:11Thank you, Ernesto.
00:30:14Shall we go?
00:30:15Yes.
00:30:15Let it go.
00:30:16Let it go.
00:30:16Dad, this old iPod thing is so lame.
00:30:22I don't know any of these bands.
00:30:24What's NSYNC?
00:30:27Oh, NSYNC.
00:30:29You're a big NSYNC fan, huh?
00:30:30I have no idea how that got on there.
00:30:31Why did you let him bring that?
00:30:33He should be listening to the sounds of nature and not drowning it all with music.
00:30:40Dad, he's a teenager.
00:30:42I think it's okay if he listens to some music.
00:30:44Yeah, if you consider Annie DeFranco's feminist poetry as music.
00:30:50It was a weird time.
00:30:51I was going through a breakup.
00:30:52Hey, I'm sorry if you're caught in the middle, but I think you're handling it better than you realize.
00:30:59I'm trying my best.
00:31:04You know, I used to think I had it all together.
00:31:07This career, parenthood, marriage.
00:31:11Then after the divorce, this feels like I've been chasing this idea of what life's supposed to be and failing miserably.
00:31:24Who tricked us into thinking there was one specific way life had to be?
00:31:29Our parents.
00:31:30Society.
00:31:31Nineties rom-coms.
00:31:34I'm Meg, Julia, Sandra.
00:31:38They all had me convinced that I would be married with kids running an ad agency by the time I was 29.
00:31:45I wasn't always an ad agency.
00:31:47Yeah.
00:31:48Or editor of a magazine.
00:31:50Either of which spoke to me.
00:31:53Did you always know you wanted to be in the medical field?
00:31:56Ever since I was young.
00:31:58And then when I got there, it became my whole life.
00:32:01Until I was passed over for a promotion I thought I was going to get.
00:32:05And then I started to question everything.
00:32:07And I thought I knew my purpose.
00:32:09And then suddenly, I didn't.
00:32:13Well, I think that's because we're told that life follows us like a linear path.
00:32:18Right?
00:32:19Get the job, meet the person, have a kid, buy the house.
00:32:23It doesn't work that way.
00:32:26You know, you can have it all one moment and then it's just...
00:32:28You're making me sure I know what having it all means anymore.
00:32:34Me neither.
00:32:35I think I was always so focused on the next great thing.
00:32:39I missed all the great stuff in front of me.
00:32:42Hmph.
00:32:43I think in the midst of trying to figure it all out, I've done the same.
00:32:49I don't want to live life like that anymore, you know?
00:32:52And I don't really want to miss out on all the great things that are happening right in front of me ever again.
00:33:01Wow, this is beautiful.
00:33:02I think a break is in order.
00:33:19Who's up for a peaceful rest by the river?
00:33:22No.
00:33:23Oh, me.
00:33:24Hang on.
00:33:26Uh, you guys good on water?
00:33:28Well, I'm running low, but I don't think we can drink that.
00:33:31Oh, we can drink that as long as you've got one of these.
00:33:35A little water filter.
00:33:36I could use some water.
00:33:37All right.
00:33:38Yes, sir.
00:33:39Yes, please.
00:33:40I'd love some if you don't mind.
00:33:42Absolutely.
00:33:45Oh, this is perfect.
00:33:48Yes, sir.
00:33:49My bad.
00:33:53Oh.
00:33:54That's really good.
00:34:10Oh, it's nothing.
00:34:12I'm just bored.
00:34:13Oh.
00:34:15So, why'd your mom force you to go on Camino?
00:34:19What, the honest answer?
00:34:20I won't tell anybody.
00:34:24I think she's afraid that if she doesn't get me away from work and out of the house,
00:34:29in this case, out of the country,
00:34:32that I'll end up sad and alone and dwelling on a promotion I didn't get.
00:34:38What about you?
00:34:41Kind of the same thing, honestly, but a little bit more in a loner, teenager type of way.
00:34:45Do you know what I mean?
00:34:47I do get what you mean.
00:34:49I guess we're just a couple of loners forced to exist outside of our comfort zones.
00:34:53You're putting too much pressure on Luis and Mateo.
00:35:12They're not walking the path the exact way you want them to.
00:35:16But that doesn't mean they're lost.
00:35:18The way I was raised, it was so different from these younger generations.
00:35:24You know, traditions merit.
00:35:27Faith merit.
00:35:28Respect merit.
00:35:30It sounds like what you're upset about is this morning with Mateo.
00:35:35No, no, no, no.
00:35:35It's not only Mateo.
00:35:37It's Luis, too.
00:35:39Because he should have shown Mateo how important faith and family are.
00:35:45He brought Mateo here and took a month off from his life to spend it with his father and son.
00:35:54Didn't he?
00:35:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:03Oh, great.
00:36:04You okay?
00:36:13Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
00:36:14I got it.
00:36:15Here, let me...
00:36:16Oh, no, I'm all right.
00:36:17I can help carry some of that.
00:36:18Thank you. You know I like a challenge.
00:36:20Challenge yourself to accept a little help, then, huh?
00:36:22You don't always have to carry everything on your own.
00:36:28Okay.
00:36:30You know, I could carry something, too.
00:36:33You sure?
00:36:34Yeah.
00:36:34Oh, yeah, look at this kid.
00:36:36He is in great shape.
00:36:37He'll be on the football team next year.
00:36:39Stuff to make the team, then.
00:36:40It's not going to be a problem, buddy.
00:36:45This is an espresso maker?
00:36:47Yeah.
00:36:48That is for everybody.
00:36:50Because nobody wants to see me without coffee.
00:36:52Hey, thank you both.
00:36:57I guess I did pack a little too much luggage.
00:37:00Me, me, me.
00:37:01That's not luggage.
00:37:03That's baggage.
00:37:07Yeah.
00:37:08Her and her one-liners.
00:37:10I know.
00:37:10She's quite the comedian.
00:37:17It was better.
00:37:18Much better, right?
00:37:20Yeah.
00:37:21Come on, kid.
00:37:21When we feel exhausted and overworked, tell me about it.
00:37:37Have you experienced emotional exhaustion?
00:37:40Do you notice a difference when you take a step back emotionally and ask God to take the
00:37:45weight off your shoulders?
00:37:46To be honest, trusting doesn't come naturally to me.
00:37:58But learning...
00:38:00It's not about carrying less.
00:38:06It's...
00:38:07It's about not carrying it alone.
00:38:10List a few things you're thankful for today.
00:38:16The kindness of strangers.
00:38:19The beauty of slowing down.
00:38:23And remembering parts of myself I'd forgotten.
00:38:26Wow.
00:38:27Wow.
00:38:29Shh.
00:38:41Mom and dad.
00:38:42Mom and dad.
00:38:42You were right here.
00:39:12This inn has private rooms.
00:39:35Oh, so there'll be no snoring tonight.
00:39:39Just in Ernesto's room.
00:39:41Okay.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:43Okay.
00:39:44What's the bad news?
00:39:45It's not necessarily bad.
00:39:46So far, all the inns we've stayed at have provided meals, but this one does not.
00:39:53Is there a restaurant nearby?
00:39:55Actually, it's the customer at this inn that pilgrims cook together.
00:40:00And cooking together can be as much a part of the journey as the walking.
00:40:08Wow.
00:40:09Oh.
00:40:10Okay.
00:40:11Oh.
00:40:12Okay.
00:40:13Okay, so the only thing is I barely know how to boil water.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:19Yeah, and my cooking is microwaving pizzas.
00:40:23Somehow, he even burns those.
00:40:24I'm really the only one who cooks here?
00:40:28No, no, no.
00:40:29I might be able to help.
00:40:30Oh.
00:40:31Yeah.
00:40:32Well, it seems we have the standard gamba, the gambas in the fridge.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:36There they are.
00:40:37I think we have everything we need for paella.
00:40:38Wait, wait.
00:40:39Do you know how to cook paella, Papa?
00:40:40Yes.
00:40:41How could I not pick up a thing or two?
00:40:42What's in your mother all those years?
00:40:43Come on.
00:40:44Let's go.
00:40:45Let's go.
00:40:46I'm going to cook paella, Papa.
00:40:47Yes.
00:40:48How could I not pick up a thing or two?
00:40:49What's in your mother all those years?
00:40:51Come on.
00:40:52Let's go.
00:40:53Let's go.
00:40:54Let's go.
00:40:55Okay.
00:40:56I can wash some things.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:41:00Dad, how's this the first time I'm ever tasting you're cooking?
00:41:09It really is incredible, Ernesto. Five stars.
00:41:13It's clear you have a natural gift.
00:41:15When I was younger, cooking wasn't seen as a man's thing, especially in my father's eyes.
00:41:25But I secretly always loved it.
00:41:28I, um, I get it. Sometimes the things that we, um, care about aren't the things that we feel that we're supposed to care about.
00:41:38Theoretically, I mean, um...
00:41:41Bolo, you should open your own restaurant.
00:41:44You are too kind, Matteo.
00:41:46But, uh, well, I'm grateful to have the chance to explore it here in the Camino.
00:41:52Better late than never.
00:41:54Mm-hmm. If there are even a time to explore something you've been hesitant about, it's definitely on the Camino.
00:42:02You know, I'm starting to see why people love this.
00:42:15The walking, the slowing down.
00:42:18I have to admit, this trip has definitely softened the blow of the promotion.
00:42:23I mean, I don't know if I would say it was for the best that I didn't get it, but...
00:42:26Maybe it's not the worst thing.
00:42:29Well, considering you might not have come on the Camino otherwise, in my professional opinion, of course, um...
00:42:37I definitely think it was for the best.
00:42:38Everyone, today would be a good day to start looking for your stone for the Cruz de Ferro.
00:42:48The... the Cruz de Ferro?
00:42:50Mm-hmm.
00:42:50Ah, yeah, it's, uh, it's this place where many pilgrims leave their burdens, you know, things that no longer serve them.
00:42:57Regrets, fears, anything weighing you down?
00:42:59Yeah, it's a very powerful tradition.
00:43:03Everyone who walks the Camino has something they need to release.
00:43:08Yeah, it's, uh, it's a way of starting fresh.
00:43:10So you just pick up any stone? How do you know if it's the right one?
00:43:14Does it have to be a stone?
00:43:15Uh, not necessarily.
00:43:16It just has to be something that can represent what you're letting go.
00:43:22When you find the right one or the right thing, you will know.
00:43:29Yes? Okay, let's go!
00:43:38Believe it or not, I found a tiny little espresso. Whoa, whoa.
00:43:51Everything okay?
00:43:52No, I can't find my devotional.
00:43:54I think I left it in the last inn.
00:43:56Listen, it's, it's really important to me because it's the last thing my dad gave me before he passed.
00:44:05Oh, I'm sorry.
00:44:09Well, hey, let's, let's go back and get it.
00:44:12Well, we can't walk back all that way. We can't backtrack that far.
00:44:18Leave me to it.
00:44:19Uber, for Monica.
00:44:30What?
00:44:31No, because you're my dad does not mean you get to make so many dad jokes.
00:44:35We can help you, Mateo.
00:44:37Once you become a dad, dad jokes comes with the job.
00:44:41Yeah, he's right, you know.
00:44:43So, okay, I think we, uh, we'll head back to the inn.
00:44:47We'll grab the devotional.
00:44:48And, uh, we should be back right after sunset.
00:44:51Buenas suerte.
00:44:52Yeah!
00:44:54See you guys.
00:44:55All right.
00:44:57Buen camino.
00:45:04This was definitely unexpected.
00:45:07Nice change from all that walking, huh?
00:45:09This was the night, huh?
00:45:10Oh, I'm chasing the light, chasing the light.
00:45:17Going to start my way back to the sunny day.
00:45:21Whoa, whoa.
00:45:24Don't look back, gonna have no.
00:45:30Good night, Mom.
00:45:31Good night.
00:45:32You good?
00:45:34It's like we were just here
00:45:51Yeah, it doesn't look good
00:45:53Here you go
00:45:54Oh, gracias
00:45:55Ah, you're welcome
00:45:58Good way
00:45:59Oh, gracias
00:46:01You guys okay?
00:46:02Yeah, no, we're good. We're just hiding out at the inn
00:46:05What do you guys think he'll be back?
00:46:07Actually, that's why I'm calling
00:46:09The storm's a little too intense to try to get back tonight
00:46:13So it looks like we're going to have to stay here tonight
00:46:15They're going to stay at the inn. They're going to wait out the storm
00:46:18Let's talk to the best
00:46:19All right, Dad. We all think it's a good idea
00:46:21Oh, also, where are the extra earplugs?
00:46:23They're up in my pack
00:46:24I think the outer zipper
00:46:26All right, thanks, Dad
00:46:27I'll see you bright and early
00:46:29All right, bye
00:46:32Intentions for the Camino
00:46:42Intentions for the Camino
00:46:55Connect on a deeper level with Mateo
00:47:00Bond with my family and help the three of us connect
00:47:03Become the best man and father that can be
00:47:11Eh, Mateo
00:47:13Did you find those earplugs?
00:47:16Yeah, give me a pair of those
00:47:19Because, you know, between you and me
00:47:22I think my snoring is even waking me up this time
00:47:27Thank you
00:47:28Thank you
00:47:34Ahhhh
00:47:35Oh
00:47:36Whoa, okay
00:47:37We're, uh, were you, like, in a checker league or something?
00:47:41Second grade champion, actually
00:47:43Wow, how is that not what you lead with when you first meet someone?
00:47:46Well, I don't like to intimidate people before they get to know me
00:47:49Trust me, the moment somebody meets you, they're already intimidated
00:47:52Me intimidating?
00:47:53I find that hard to imagine
00:47:55Well, if anyone here is intimidating, it's you
00:47:58Mr. Handsome Prince Charming who rides up on a horse to save the day
00:48:02Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:48:03Handsome Prince Charming, you say?
00:48:06It's not every day you're picked up on horseback
00:48:13I know, it's definitely a first for me
00:48:17I hope it's not the last
00:48:24Oh, I am glad we're not riding home that weather
00:48:28Yeah, it's definitely not worth the risk
00:48:31It's funny how risk seemed so much easier when we were younger
00:48:35Well, it's because we didn't overthink things
00:48:38No, we just kind of jumped in
00:48:42Trusted that it'd all work out somehow
00:48:44I used to be so brave
00:48:47Life just flowed so easily
00:48:50What changed?
00:48:53My dad passing away
00:48:56He was my best friend
00:48:59And when he was gone
00:49:02Everything seemed out of control
00:49:04So I dove into work to distract myself
00:49:09I'm truly sorry Monica
00:49:12Thank you
00:49:14Thank you
00:49:15I do think it's really sweet that you guys were so close though
00:49:21What was his name?
00:49:24Jack Miller
00:49:26Good name
00:49:27Oh, yes
00:49:29He was the kind of guy that reminded people not just to live life
00:49:33But really, truly enjoy it
00:49:36I miss him every day
00:49:39So thank you so much for helping me find the devotional
00:49:44Oh, of course
00:49:45You know, for the record
00:49:49I think you're still pretty brave
00:49:51You're out here walking the Camino all on your own
00:49:55Well, it's hardly on my own
00:49:57Your dad's snoring won't let me forget that
00:49:58No, but...
00:50:01Thank you
00:50:03I am trying to be brave
00:50:07But I'm realizing that takes trust
00:50:10And that's not something I'm very good at anymore
00:50:13I get it
00:50:15I get it
00:50:17I mean...
00:50:19Surrendering to something greater than yourself when your life is out of control
00:50:24It's incredibly challenging
00:50:27Really?
00:50:29You always seem to go with the flow so easily
00:50:32No, not at all
00:50:35Are you kidding me?
00:50:36I micromanage my family like it's a full-time job
00:50:39You're being too hard on yourself
00:50:41You're doing the best you can
00:50:43It's all you can do
00:50:45Thanks
00:50:48Nothing like the Camino to highlight all your flaws, huh?
00:50:52Before putting it all out on the table
00:50:55I think you're pretty great
00:50:59I think you're pretty great
00:51:02Laws and all
00:51:14I think you're pretty great too
00:51:24Sorry about that
00:51:26The storm is quite passionate tonight
00:51:29Here
00:51:31Take this candle with you to your room
00:51:35Muchas gracias, but it's separate rooms
00:51:39Okay
00:51:41I have to go
00:51:47We should probably get some sleep
00:51:51I'll walk you to your room
00:51:59You will see you next time
00:52:00I'll see you next time
00:52:01At some time
00:52:02You'll be on the table
00:52:03Everyone in one room
00:52:04I just want to take a break
00:52:06I have a few more people
00:52:09I want to see you next week
00:52:11I will be to your room
00:52:13I'll walk you up
00:52:15Let's be back
00:52:18I have a few more people
00:52:21I have a few more people
00:52:22You will be able to get the to your room
00:52:23Do you want to go first?
00:52:49I'm letting go of the need to control everything.
00:52:53I'm choosing to trust and surrender.
00:53:15I spent my life trying to guide my son and grandson.
00:53:20And believing that I always knew the right way to do it.
00:53:27Well, now, today, I'm letting go of my judgments.
00:53:34Trusting the path to the shoes.
00:53:37I'm leaving behind my phone.
00:53:53If that's okay with you, Dad, since it's technically yours.
00:53:56It's fine with me.
00:53:58Are you sure?
00:54:00Yeah, I'm sure.
00:54:02I want to be present and connect with you guys.
00:54:06I come here often, and most times I leave behind the same things.
00:54:23Small worries or doubts.
00:54:26It's a weight of trying to have everything figured out.
00:54:30But today I leave behind the fear I didn't even realize I had of letting someone back into my heart.
00:54:41I've been letting go of this guilt that I've carried for far too long of not being enough.
00:55:00As a father, as a son, but I'm also choosing to trust and surrender.
00:55:14Well, it's all downhill from here.
00:55:35Hiking-wise, I mean.
00:55:39We've got a bit of a trek back down to the main path.
00:55:44Let's go.
00:55:44Mattie, welcome to our hometown.
00:56:08Oh, it's so good to be back.
00:56:10Do you remember me, what?
00:56:11Maria!
00:56:12This cannot be.
00:56:21Yeah, little Luis, he's all grown up, and he has a son, Mateo.
00:56:27Oh, I remember you as a boy running around in the dirt, playing football, dreaming of being an American football player.
00:56:38Yeah, that's right.
00:56:38Yeah, that's right.
00:56:39You have a good memory, Maria.
00:56:42It's nice to see you.
00:56:43You don't forget family.
00:56:44No matter how many years pass.
00:56:47Yes, welcome to all of us.
00:56:48Come on, look, look.
00:56:50Come on, I'll go up.
00:56:52I'll see you.
00:56:54Um, there are some kids over there playing football if you want to join them.
00:56:59Thanks.
00:56:59Hey, Maria.
00:57:01What's up?
00:57:02I'm good.
00:57:02I'm good.
00:57:02I'm good.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:03I'm good.
00:57:04Yeah.
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:06You don't really like sports, do you?
00:57:09You want the real answer?
00:57:12Yeah, I'll tell anyone.
00:57:15Not at all.
00:57:16I can't tell it to my dad.
00:57:17See, how often he tries to talk to me about it?
00:57:22Um, I think maybe he's just trying to connect with you however he can.
00:57:26Then why doesn't he ask me what I like?
00:57:28What I'm passionate about?
00:57:29Oh, that is a very good question.
00:57:33Um, give him a chance.
00:57:35He might surprise you.
00:57:38You believe I grew up here?
00:57:40Yeah, it's so different from Boston, but I kind of love it.
00:57:44Yeah, well, maybe you'll spend some more time here someday, huh?
00:57:46My school actually has a summer immersion program here in Spain.
00:57:49Oh, really?
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:50Well, hey, look, as long as it doesn't conflict with football practice, maybe we sign you up for that, huh?
00:57:57Hold on, whoa.
00:57:58What's going on?
00:58:02Just, I don't want to play football anymore, Dad.
00:58:07We've been talking about this since, like, middle school, Matty.
00:58:10I know, but it's only because you've always brought it up.
00:58:13The truth is, I don't like sports.
00:58:15It's...
00:58:15I never have.
00:58:17It's always been your thing.
00:58:19Wow.
00:58:20Okay.
00:58:21Um...
00:58:21I am sorry if I put that on you.
00:58:26Okay?
00:58:26I just...
00:58:27I guess I just thought that if we had something in common, then it'd be a little easier for us.
00:58:33Yeah, I get that.
00:58:34Abolo kind of tries to do the same thing.
00:58:37It does, doesn't it?
00:58:38Yeah, I guess, uh, we all wet in that, man, we have a habit of trying to pass down what we know instead of actually listening to what our sons want.
00:58:50Do you know what?
00:58:53That stops here.
00:58:55What are you passionate about?
00:58:59Okay, um...
00:59:00Art.
00:59:05I've been drawing and painting for a while now.
00:59:08Art?
00:59:08Art, that's incredible.
00:59:10Do you mean it?
00:59:11Absolutely.
00:59:12I want you to know that I love you.
00:59:15Okay?
00:59:15For exactly who you are, whatever it is you love.
00:59:19I love you.
00:59:22Okay?
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:24Thanks for having the courage to share that with me.
00:59:42Yeah, well, I had a little hope.
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:54There's so much to see.
01:00:11What is everyone thinking?
01:00:13I'd like to find a gift for my mom.
01:00:15Oh, would you, uh, like a translator for the Mercado?
01:00:18I'd love that.
01:00:20Maddy, you want to join us?
01:00:22Actually, I think I'm going to go check out the, um, artist's area.
01:00:25We can take you there.
01:00:27All right, thanks.
01:00:28I'm looking forward to seeing you for dinner tonight.
01:00:31Okay.
01:00:32Hasta luego, María.
01:00:33Bye, María.
01:00:33¿A qué hora nos vemos en la casa?
01:00:35A las 18.
01:00:37Vale.
01:00:3818?
01:00:38Yeah, 6 p.m.
01:00:39What's the plan?
01:00:40Oh, we're meeting back at the house at, like, 8.
01:00:47It's good work.
01:00:48Yeah, it's very cute.
01:00:51Yes.
01:00:54Oh, wow.
01:00:56Okay, this is not right for her, but this is stunning.
01:00:59Oh, you should totally try that on.
01:01:01Oh, I don't know.
01:01:03I feel silly trying it on by myself.
01:01:07I can help with that.
01:01:10Yeah?
01:01:11Yeah.
01:01:12Okay.
01:01:13Come on.
01:01:13This is crazy.
01:01:21I've never seen anything like it.
01:01:23I didn't realize you like art, Mateo.
01:01:26You know, my mother was an artist.
01:01:28Yeah.
01:01:28She came here all the time for inspiration.
01:01:31Who knows?
01:01:32Maybe you'll find some inspiration here, too.
01:01:35Of course.
01:01:36Oh, wow.
01:01:40Um, you look...
01:01:44I have no words.
01:01:48Look, you look very handsome yourself.
01:01:51Oh, right.
01:01:52Uh, you should...
01:01:53You should get that.
01:01:54Oh, I love it, but it's not practical.
01:01:57You never know when you might need a fancy dress.
01:02:01Oh.
01:02:02Yeah, you never know when an elegant dress is gonna come in handy on the Camino.
01:02:06Fair point.
01:02:07So, she's thinking about what to get my mom.
01:02:12Do you have any other ideas of places you can see?
01:02:15Uh, yeah, you know, I think I might know just the place.
01:02:21Gracias.
01:02:24Okay, so, for something truly unique for your mom, I was thinking this might be the place.
01:02:33Pottery studio.
01:02:35Huh?
01:02:35You remembered.
01:02:37Of course I did.
01:02:39You gonna join me?
01:02:42Yeah.
01:02:43I mean, as long as, you know, my, uh, skills don't intimidate you.
01:02:47Oh, we will see.
01:02:49Uh-huh.
01:02:53Okay, so...
01:02:55This is a little harder than it looks.
01:02:58Don't worry, you'll get it.
01:03:02Like, at this point, do you...
01:03:03Do you know exactly what you're making, or...?
01:03:06Honestly, no.
01:03:07I know, it is hard to believe I don't have a plan.
01:03:10But I just kind of get started and see where it takes me.
01:03:19Uh-oh.
01:03:20Okay.
01:03:20I think I'm doing something wrong.
01:03:22Let me help you.
01:03:23Okay, so...
01:03:24Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, slow it down, slow it down, slow it down, okay.
01:03:26Okay.
01:03:34The symbol of the Camino.
01:03:35Well, uh, okay, that's impressive.
01:03:42Um, I gotta admit, I kind of envisioned a coffee cup from the beginning.
01:03:48Look, it seemed approachable.
01:03:49It has character.
01:03:54Do you want to grab some tapas before dinner?
01:03:57I'd love to.
01:03:59As long as you don't mind me covered in clay.
01:04:04Might have a...
01:04:05solution.
01:04:06I can't believe you bought it.
01:04:13Yeah, I just thought you deserved a gift, too.
01:04:15I guess it is more practical than I thought.
01:04:30You have a lovely family home, Ernesto.
01:04:34Gracias, gracias.
01:04:36See, but, you know, I've been wondering something.
01:04:39Well, when you mention it, let him someone back into your heart, by chance.
01:04:47What are you referring to me?
01:04:51You drive me absolutely crazy.
01:04:55But yes, I was referring to you.
01:04:58You drive me absolutely crazy, too.
01:05:01But yet, each morning, when I go outside to begin the walk,
01:05:07I feel, I feel full of hope, and my heart skips a bit when I see you.
01:05:15Oh.
01:05:16Well, maybe it's the start of something new.
01:05:21La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
01:05:23Salam.
01:05:29Mmm.
01:05:30It's nice.
01:05:31Today was fun.
01:05:33Your scallop shell was so good.
01:05:37Well, I wanted to do it not just because of the Camino,
01:05:39but since my parents met here, it feels like a symbol of their love.
01:05:43That's beautiful.
01:05:45Your mom's gonna love it.
01:05:47My dad always said that them meeting here felt like part of a greater plan.
01:05:51He always had such a strong faith.
01:05:53Your dad sounds like such a great guy.
01:05:56I wish I could have met him.
01:05:57He would have loved you.
01:06:01What about you?
01:06:03What do you think of me?
01:06:04Are we playing truth or dare again?
01:06:09Or when?
01:06:10Verdad or retros?
01:06:12Oh.
01:06:13Muy bien.
01:06:15Yeah, actually.
01:06:16Um.
01:06:19I dare you to dance with me.
01:06:20But no one else is dancing.
01:06:22And if everyone thought that way, no one ever would.
01:06:25Somebody has to get this started, right?
01:06:27True.
01:06:27Come on.
01:06:33Of course.
01:06:34Oh.
01:06:35What?
01:06:39Um.
01:06:39Hey, Abolo.
01:06:40Oh.
01:06:41Oh.
01:06:41Sorry.
01:06:42No, no, no.
01:06:43You don't need to apologize.
01:06:45I was wondering where dad was.
01:06:46He's almost an hour late.
01:06:47I think he'll be here soon.
01:06:49I think I might go look for him while you guys eat.
01:06:51He'll be fine.
01:06:52I just want to make sure he's okay.
01:06:54Okay, okay.
01:06:55Go, go, go.
01:06:55Someone told me once, love is to enter into another's chaos and let them into your own.
01:07:05No wonder it feels so risky.
01:07:07The thing is, Monica, you make the risk feel worth it.
01:07:16I am so thankful that God brought you into my life.
01:07:24Really?
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Meeting you on the Scamino.
01:07:30It's been one of the highlights of my life.
01:07:33Ted.
01:07:34What are you doing?
01:07:36Uh, Mateo.
01:07:37Seriously.
01:07:38This is why you're late.
01:07:39No, late.
01:07:40It was supposed to be eight o'clock.
01:07:41It was six.
01:07:42I thought this trip was supposed to be about us.
01:07:44Maddie, we didn't know that about the...
01:07:46No offense, Monica, but this is between me and my dad.
01:07:48Okay, let's talk.
01:07:50Right?
01:07:52I'll be right back.
01:07:53Okay.
01:07:59Meeting Monica was one of the highlights of your life?
01:08:02I know how that must have sounded, but Maddie, you are the most important thing to me.
01:08:06It seems like when someone else just comes into your life, you just leave me behind.
01:08:11No, no, buddy.
01:08:12That is not true.
01:08:13You are my first priority.
01:08:15That will never, ever change.
01:08:16I just don't get it.
01:08:17Are you and Monica a thing?
01:08:20I don't know.
01:08:22But that doesn't matter right now, okay?
01:08:24You are the only thing that matters right now.
01:08:27Nothing else does.
01:08:28I'll meet you back at the house.
01:08:29I need to think.
01:08:31Maddie.
01:08:34Maddie.
01:08:44I've really messed this up.
01:08:46With Maddie.
01:08:48With you.
01:08:48No, Maddie will come around.
01:08:50He loves you.
01:08:51And as for us, he's right.
01:08:54This trip was supposed to be about you and your family, and I became a distraction.
01:08:59Monica, you are not a distraction.
01:09:02This communal has been more than I ever expected, and that's because of you.
01:09:08I can fix this.
01:09:10There's a way to make everybody happy.
01:09:11I don't want to be another person you need to make happy.
01:09:16I would give anything for another day with my dad.
01:09:21Anything.
01:09:22And I don't want to take...
01:09:23I don't want to take that from Maddie, so...
01:09:26I think I should, um...
01:09:29I think I should finish the Camino on my own.
01:09:33Monica.
01:09:34It's the right thing.
01:09:35I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:49I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:50I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:52I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:53I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:54I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:55I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:56I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:57I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:58I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:09:59I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:10:00I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:10:01I don't want to take the Camino on my own.
01:10:02Monica, I saw your note.
01:10:11Yeah, thank you for everything, but I realize I need to finish this last leg of the Santiago by myself.
01:10:18Get a plane ticket home and go back to normal life.
01:10:21I've done what I came here to do.
01:10:23Have you?
01:10:23I'm not quitting.
01:10:25I'm just finishing on my own.
01:10:27Quite a few pilgrims choose to finish alone.
01:10:30It can be rewarding if it's done.
01:10:34Out of freedom, not fear.
01:10:36What makes you think I'm afraid?
01:10:37You've let go of so much here.
01:10:40What about the things you're afraid to hold on to?
01:10:45That's part of the Camino, too.
01:10:46It's for the best.
01:10:48My presence here wasn't helping.
01:10:51You must follow your conscience, querida.
01:10:55But may I offer one last piece of advice as your guide?
01:11:00For some pilgrims, Santiago is in the end.
01:11:05Many continue to finish terra.
01:11:09What's that?
01:11:10It's where the Camino meets the ocean.
01:11:14The final step on the journey.
01:11:16If your Camino isn't done, you will know.
01:11:20Thank you for everything.
01:11:32Good Camino, Monica.
01:11:41Good Camino, Consuela.
01:11:43I don't know.
01:12:00Dad?
01:12:03Can we talk?
01:12:05Yeah.
01:12:06Yeah, sure, buddy.
01:12:07What is it?
01:12:13I've been thinking about you and Monica.
01:12:19The past few weeks, I've seen you happier than I've seen you a very long time.
01:12:25I have been.
01:12:29It's been great to be around my family.
01:12:30I just want to say I get it.
01:12:34I get that Monica made you happy.
01:12:38She's cool.
01:12:39I understand why you like her.
01:12:43I guess what I'm trying to say is
01:12:44I trust you, Dad.
01:12:50Maddie, come here.
01:12:55It means more than you know.
01:13:00But I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
01:13:03Breakfast will be ready in five minutes.
01:13:06Gracias.
01:13:12What's this?
01:13:13Oh.
01:13:16Do you remember I told you we would host some pilgrims here?
01:13:19My family always try to take photos of our guests to remember them by.
01:13:25So, I'm very sure that in this box, there are some photos of your father.
01:13:33Oh, man.
01:13:38Oh, Lucia and Dalba.
01:13:422018.
01:13:48What?
01:13:49I think that's Monica's parents.
01:13:52What?
01:13:53Jack.
01:13:54I love you.
01:13:56And this?
01:13:57It's me.
01:13:58That's me.
01:13:58I made it.
01:14:23Santiago.
01:14:23I'm so sorry.
01:14:36Santiago.
01:14:38Santiago.
01:14:38Santiago.
01:14:38I still don't know if I really understand all this, you know, the prayers.
01:14:59You're on me too, Mateo.
01:15:01You know, the opposite of faith is not doubt, it's certainty.
01:15:05You know, Dad always says that.
01:15:10Oh yeah, that's it?
01:15:12I guess he's passed on more lessons than we thought.
01:15:14Okay.
01:15:28You mind if I join you?
01:15:30Um, pray?
01:15:32Of course you can.
01:15:36Lord, we thank you for getting us safely here.
01:15:41And we thank you for my son, Luis, and the wisdom he taught his son that I cannot maybe understand in the right way.
01:15:53It's her.
01:16:03It's her.
01:16:03Ned, do you love me?
01:16:23Yeah, Mary, I think I do.
01:16:24You think or you know?
01:16:27I know.
01:16:27What now?
01:16:39Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:16:42I know it's gonna be okay.
01:16:46These days are gonna make you stronger.
01:16:49Who is the most courageous person you know?
01:16:52You are, Monica.
01:16:54I couldn't help but answer this one myself.
01:16:56Love, Dad.
01:16:57And we have to find her.
01:17:24She's probably on her way to the airport by now.
01:17:26Perhaps, but I don't think that's where she's going.
01:17:30What do you mean?
01:17:31My guess is she hasn't finished walking yet.
01:17:35You think she's on her way to Finisterre?
01:17:37Mm-hmm.
01:17:38That's where I gotta go.
01:17:40So I'll stay in the fight and look to the one who's said.
01:17:49Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:17:53I know it's gonna be okay.
01:17:56These days are gonna make you stronger.
01:18:00You'll find purpose in the pain.
01:18:03Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:18:07Deep down there's a will of faith.
01:18:11Let hope arise as you're lifting up my name.
01:18:16And just hold on.
01:18:21Hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:18:32Wait till you see what's at the end of the road.
01:18:37Hold on.
01:18:39A new life is ready to unfold.
01:18:46Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:18:49I know it's gonna be okay.
01:18:53These days are gonna make you stronger.
01:18:56You'll find purpose in the pain.
01:19:00Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:19:03Deep down there's a will of faith.
01:19:07Let hope arise as you're lifting up my name.
01:19:13And just hold on.
01:19:21Hold on, hold on.
01:19:27Just hold on.
01:19:30Just hold on.
01:19:46God.
01:19:48I've spent so much of my life trying to control everything.
01:19:53And out here you've taught me
01:19:58the grace of letting go.
01:20:01I see you in the kindness of strangers
01:20:04and the beauty of nature.
01:20:10And even in the pain of the climb.
01:20:12You were here all along just waiting for me to notice.
01:20:20I don't have the answers.
01:20:21But I trust now that I don't need to.
01:20:28I just need to keep walking.
01:20:32Step by step.
01:20:35Knowing I'll never be alone.
01:20:43Monica.
01:20:44What, what, what are you doing here?
01:20:51That hunch you might have rerouted here.
01:20:52No.
01:21:03You still think us meeting was a coincidence?
01:21:05But how?
01:21:06That baby right there is me.
01:21:12Your parents, they stayed at our house during their pilgrimage.
01:21:21So you did meet my dad?
01:21:23It looks like we got along.
01:21:28I don't know that I believe in coincidences anymore.
01:21:32Oh, I stopped believing in those the moment I met you.
01:21:34Walking this last part of the path alone
01:21:39proved to myself I could do it.
01:21:41And I did.
01:21:42You do.
01:21:44The entire time,
01:21:45I thought how much better it is with you by my side.
01:21:51Then let's keep walking together.
01:21:53You and me.
01:21:53I want to make you happy.
01:21:57Not because I have to.
01:22:01Because I want to.
01:22:12You didn't think that we actually let you finish this without us, did you?
01:22:15It only makes sense that we ended together as a family.
01:22:25Couldn't agree more.
01:22:28I remember your parents, Monica.
01:22:32You do?
01:22:33Yeah.
01:22:34They were the ones who first told me about Boston.
01:22:38And eight years later, we moved there.
01:22:40What did I tell you?
01:22:45The Camino gives each person what they need.
01:22:51I think it gave each of us exactly what we were looking for.
01:23:10I'm sorry.
01:23:18Which is all right.
01:23:20You do?
01:23:20You do?
01:23:21You do?
01:23:21You do?
01:23:22You do?
01:23:23You do?
01:23:23You do?
01:23:24You do?
01:23:24You?
01:23:25You do?
01:23:27You do?
01:23:28You do?
01:23:28You are on the deck.
01:23:33You do?
01:23:34You do?
01:23:37The Alura.
01:23:38You do?
