English translation thanks to Inakitxu75. PEPA FERNÁNDEZ (P.F.): I have to say prison hasn't done very much damage to Iago, ¿huh? You look really handsome. MARC: But it's a tough place. P.F.: Yeah, but, you look gorgeous. MABEL MARTÍ (M.M.): You don't look suffering... MARC: I suffer though. ALBERT OM (Host): What about that T-shirt? BERNAT: "Llibertat" [the catalan word for "free"] was too expensive; we had to pay for each letter so... "Free" [in English] was cheaper (laughs). CRISTINA PUIG (C.P.): You could also have put "Free Max", just in case they catch you... JORDI BASTÉ (J.B.): You earn enough money with the series to put "Llibertat"... HOST: Bernat Quintana: "making of" of the cemetery sequence: locations, what time did you shoot it, were you as scared as most of the people who are here, round this table, and even at home? BERNAT: It was located in Sant Andreu's cemetery and we actually opened a tomb, don't know who it belonged to... (laughs) C.P.: Did you? My grandfather's buried there... BERNAT: What's his family name? (Laughs) It was a ground level tomb; I guess all this belonged to the script, to make things easier. We shot at night, in the cemetery up to La Meridiana. It was a quiet shooting, in fact... MONTSERRAT CARULLA (OLD LADY): Very silent... BERNAT: No spectators around to gather up and stare at us... P.F.: Was it an actual casket? It should be weighty... BERNAT: Yes, it was an actual casket. An empty one, obviously, but it was quite heavy. If someone would have been inside for real, we couldn't have managed. C.P.: But, putting aside the fact that it was fiction, to shoot at night in a cemetery must be scary... BERNAT: Yeah, well, the ones who were shooting, we were under the spotlights, but if you've happened to be some meters away, doing some little running in order to get breathless, yeah, it was a bit scary. OLD LADY: In "El cor" they are used to shoot in a cemetery. I remember when we shot the death of my partner, I fell asleep in a bench... and it was really dark. HOST: And as for Marc Clotet, you arrived at "El cor", we don't mean on the rebound, but you've been one of the latest to join the cast and, inspite of that, you've got a big role, a really important one and you look spectacular... MARC: Truth is I've been very lucky with that character. It has been growing from the start and, after the Easter break, it was great. I'm very happy producers gave me the opportunity of working on a character so deeply. OLD LADY: You have humanized it a lot, people has to know that... MARC: Thank you very much. C.P.: But, because of you, Max is really in trouble. M.M.: Sure, but I love all the things we are discovering about Max thanks to Iago. You're an amazing couple! I like you a lot and I think you're "the couple" in that soap... J.B.: I can't believe anyone to be disposed to desecrate a tomb just because he or she is in love with his/her partner! M.M.: Anybody can if he/she loves his/her partner as much as Max loves Iago. HOST: Well, I would like to know who, among the people round this table, didn't believe at first that Berta was dead... (to OLD LADY): You said Berta was still alive. OLD LADY: Yes, yes, I did. I was wrong. BERNAT: I saw her and I can assure you she was pretty dead (laughs) HOST: You can certificate it, right? The sequence with Radovan, sliding his knife over your face... BERNAT: Well, it was a fake knife. SOMEONE: But it was scary... HOST: Is he a foreign actor? BERNAT: No, his name's Nico Baixas [catalan, then] *** M.M.: Well, I think Clara knows that she can recover Max if she helps him now. BERNAT: I don't believe Clara is doing all this searching for a kind of redemption. She expects nothing. It's just "motherly love". *** J.B.: Max is better as a partner than Clara is as a mother. C.P.: Sms keep arriving: "to the cutest, to the best actors"... BERNAT: Thanks to our families, our friends... (laughs) *** HOST: Show off your T-shirts... Tells us: how did you think about doing this? IAGO: The idea occurred to both of us this very morning, before coming here. We went to a shop to have them printed. BERNAT: "Free Iago" is also printed on my back. IAGO: We went to a sports shop and we didn't realize when ordering it they are used to print both the number and the name on the back of the T-shirt. So when we saw it, we asked if they could not print it on the front. HOST: What would you like your character to go through from now on? SOMEONE: He already knows... BERNAT: It seems to me he's very lucky indeed... Well, I don't know, really. Don't know what to say... C.P: Do you already know what Max will be through during next season? BERNAT: More or less... I just hope he still has the gift of being such a good student and go on with his Medicine degree without having time to open a book (laughs). People I know who are studying Medicine barely go out.
