Let's talk Dateline.

Oh, thanks.

You know, it was also going back to me home in many ways.

I grew up in Madrid, close to where Ana spent her last months of life.

And so returning to a city that is so much part of my life.

And so to be able to go back to a city that has opened its arms to immigrants everywhere,

for generations and, and see that Ana was starting a new life there.

And she, boy, I mean, the fact that she was able to move and live anywhere in the world and that she decided Madrid was the place and then meeting her friends, you know, playing her friends are just like this, this story is about Ana.

It's also the story about women and,

who loved Ana and refused to accept that she could disappear.

Yeah, you know, there's a saying in Madrid, de Madrid al cielo, from Madrid to heaven.

Sad that in this case...

Madrid to heaven for Ana meant one thing, but Madrid is, it's cobblestone streets that have seen so much.

And it's culture, it's history, it's vibrancy.

It's very much a part of this story.

And I was like- But what, I mean, what spirit got into you to tell you, Blaine Alexander, you don't have any tattoos, but this is the place to get your Madrid-centric tattoos?

So I thought, yeah.

Interesting because it does have an impact and an influence on everyone.

And it's a place where you can immediately feel at home and at the same time realize that there is so much history there to be found.

Yes.
