01x05 - Under Control

[bunniefuu]

5 YEARS EARLIER

-[Cali, in Spanish] Hey, slowly.
-[Lisandro] Yeah.

-Ow, that hurts. It burns.
-What?

You weren't complaining a while ago.

Own it. You were responsible for my back,
and look what happened. [chuckles]

[kisses]

[Cali panting]

[Lisandro moans]

[panting, moaning continues]

[door closes]

[rattling]

[dishes rattling]

[poker player] Here we are.

[players chattering]

[poker player] Come on, play. Play.

-You're very stressed.
-[Lisandro] Shut up.

-You're rubbing your face.
-Okay, shut up.

Shut up, shut up. Quiet. Let's go.

[poker player] Without any flow?

-[Lisandro] Okay.
-There it is! That's what I like.

-[Lisandro] Full.
-That's too bad. Hey, come in.

Come in.

Very intense, but good, good. Good.
Very good.

When's the next one?

And a gentleman to boot.

[Lisandro] How much for this?

-How much?
-Are things getting out of hand?

EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL

So? Do you like it?

It's the same.

I'll wait in the living room
while you chat.

It's our proposal.

We have time, but not much.
You can discuss it if you want.

I get it.
I see that nothing's going to change.

[Malena] It won't change

because your dad doesn't want it
to change. This is all he'd accept.

But I'm the one getting married.

Mmm.

May I speak alone with Camelia, please?

Yes.

Please. These are things
they need to work out themselves.

Let's not get in the middle.
This won't end well.

Don't you think it hasn't ended well
already? A fire?

[sobbing] I knew it.

No, it wasn't on purpose. Don't do this.

I don't want to end this. I...

-Stop, honey.
-I know it wasn't right, but I don't know.

Shh. Listen to me. Breathe. Calm down.

-Forgive me.
-[Camelia sobs]

You need to forgive me because
I didn't realize what was happening.

I didn't realize
what was happening to you.

If we want to get married
with our friends and without a priest,

and you want to wear a different dress,

and we do it beside a duck pond,

with Thai candles and colors,
and no meat, let's do it.

[Camelia sobs] But my dad...

If Vito doesn't want us to do it our way,
we'll do it without Vito.

Hey, honey.

[Cali] What'll we do?

If Vito doesn't want to do it our way,
we'll do it without Vito.

It can't be that hard to convince him.

I was with him all morning.
There's no way. Understand?

I hate being stuck in this situation.

-Another wedding falls through.
-No, no. No, it won't fall through.

I'll handle it and I'll convince him.

You make sure the couple is happy,
so the wedding won't fall through.

I like your confidence.
But you know what? I can't see it.

I can see it. Let me handle it.

[cell phone chimes]

1 New Message

[birds chirping]

[groans]

[Ray on phone] Sounds crazy.

Luckily for you,
I'll leave my island paradise soon.

I'll help you put out those fires.

-[chuckles]
-Don't worry.

But you have to give me some time
to settle in. Okay?

Oh!

Oh, no! What is this?

[clicks tongue] Javi!

[plumber] This is pretty common.
Normally there's a blockage.

-[Malena sighs]
-One time, in a house... look at me...

I found a tiny shell.
It was the kid's pet turtle.

Oh, Mario, don't tell me that.
Clari, did you cancel everything?

Super canceled. Three interviews
and the gallery meeting.

I texted. Hopefully, they'll see it.
The gallery owner proposed you meet there.

How long will this take?

A while. It's hard. Quite a while.

-Quite a while.
-Yes.

-Okay, Mario, yes. It's okay.
-Excuse me.

Call them by phone, don't text.
Never. It's more specific.

-I'll take care of the gallery owner.
-Okay.

Here I am. Tell me.

-[Andy] Do you want to sit down?
-Mm-hmm.

A friend of mine
put me in touch with someone

for a very, very large project.

This could be a huge step for the agency.

Should we talk about this later?

Because I'm a little overwhelmed
with the house. Honestly...

Do you think
you'll just do weddings forever?

I'm asking because they're nice,

but I'm talking about
something international.

I think it deserves
your full attention. Now.

Look.

NGO. [in English] "Face Reality."

[in Spanish] They'll invest a lot of money
in Argentina

to be the base for their operations
in Latin America.

-Mmm?
-Mmm.

So, they need events and activities.

They're looking for an agency,

and my friend can get us inside
to submit a bid.

Mmm.

It's just that
Marcos never bid on projects.

He said that if someone wanted
our services,

first, they had to pay our fees.

No prior presentation, no...

Okay, but we're not...
You're not in that situation anymore.

[curator] This way.

-[Malena] Wow.
-[Cali] I love it.

-Do you like it?
-Yes, perfect.

Oh, before I forget.
Username and password.

-Wonderful. Thanks so much.
-[curator chuckles]

This is the space you can use.
Will this work?

-Beautiful. Perfect.
-Call if you need anything.

-Same.
-I'll leave you to work.

-Thank you very much.
-Of course.

Thank you.

-[Cali] I love it.
-[Malena sighs]

Worked out beautifully, right?

They'll let us use it for three days,
so we can work here.

-Here's the Wi-Fi.
-[Andy] Okay.

But only for us.
The rest will work at the house.

So they just let you have it?
Or did you work your magic?

-I worked my magic. [laughs]
-[Andy chuckles]

We'll likely have to give them a discount
when they inaugurate the next show.

But that's not until next month.
Let's focus here.

Yes, we have three days.

There's an informational meeting,
but honestly, it all depends on us.

If we get this, it's next level.
Literally and metaphorically next level.

"Article 1, Purpose and application.

The purpose of these bid specifications

is the tender, procurement
and execution of events."

So, this would be an agency
that does the work,

along with any needs that may arise.

-True.
-Three years.

-Three years?
-[Andy] Yes.

Who knows what'll happen in three years?

Three years with a company
seems like a lot to you?

-Three years seems like a lifetime.
-[Andy murmurs]

I don't get it.
No, I don't think we can do that.

That's not included.

-Listen. You'll handle the wedding talks?
-Yes.

We can use this space.
It's actually an exotic living room.

Okay. I'll handle that,
talk to Clara and buy water.

-Okay. Okay?
-Okay.

-You're sure you're okay?
-I'm literally and metaphorically excited.

-It'll all work out.
-Okay.

-Calm down.
-[laughs]

Should we keep going?

I don't care if we mess up the restroom
for a good cause. What'll we break?

We have to rip up the restroom floor.
We'll check the bedroom, too.

My mom stored extra ceramic tiles.

I don't think she'll mind
if we rip up the floor.

Where's Toni?

I don't know. I didn't see anyone.
No one's here.

Mario, do what you have to do.

Very well.

Hi, honey.

Yes.

No, come here.

Cali, come here, honey.

Cali, come here.
Come on, honey. Come here.

Cali! Hey, Cali.

-[driver] Watch out!
-[brakes squeal]

[Lisandro] Ah, it hurts. It hurts.

[groans] Come, honey. Help me.

[officer] The ambulance is coming, okay?

-Yes.
-Are you related?

This is my wife.

[officer] Hang on. It's on its way.

[groans] Honey, it hurts.

[Lisandro] Oh, please.

[Malena on phone]
Franco and Camelia are here.

If you're not coming, I'll handle them.

[sighs] My arm hurts.

[cell phone chimes]

[Cali on phone]
I can't talk. It's Lisandro.

He came and found me and nearly died.
I'm with him now. I'll text you later.

[Malena] Oh, no!

-So, does that mean no water? Huh?
-Huh?

-Who is Lisandro?
-Cali's husband. Her ex, to be exact.

But he lives in Spain. This is so weird.

No, that's not okay.

Did he or did he not die?
That's important.

No, I don't think so.

Well, if he didn't die,
let's go or we'll be late. Okay?

-Okay.
-Good.

Good. Perfect. One more thing.

Recording

Ray, I know you asked for some time,
but it's complicated and I need your help.

-Can I send you the new address?
-[phone beeps]

-I'm ready now.
-Okay.

Marcos.

Yes?

I have some friends at Coki's agency,
and they passed on a tip they received.

It looks interesting and it's big.
They're going to bid.

I don't bid, Delfi.

Why don't you focus on
our many pending items?

Your ex's agency is going to bid.

[TV narrator, in French]
It must be a priority

for everyone not to waste any more time
and focus on what is important.

The end of the fossil fuels
and the transition to clean energy.

The solution is in our hands.

Time is running out.
It is imperative to take action.

[in English] Face reality.

[staffer]
We're eager to hear your proposal.

If there's anything else
you need to know, contact Steph.

-Okay, perfect. Thanks.
-Okay.

Thanks for coming.

Mark couldn't make it today.
He was really sorry.

[laughs]

-Send greetings to Mark.
-I will.

[Malena, in Spanish]
Next time, warn me it'll be in French.

I can keep up in English, but French...

It didn't occur to me.
The bid specifications are in English.

[Malena scoffs]

Hi. How did it go?

You're still full of surprises.
You, bidding for an NGO.

Hi, how are you? Good?

How are you? We're leaving.
We have a lot to do.

You're one meeting ahead of me.
Clock's ticking.

Clock's ticking. Let's go.

He's going to be breathing down my neck
forever. I just know it.

-Hi, Coki. How are you?
-How are you?

It's exhausting to fight
every time you see your ex.

-Turn the page and move on.
-Yes. Moving on.

[Andy] Hmm. The concept is fine.

We can modify it a little, but...

-Good idea, Carregal.
-Yes, it's a good idea.

It's not my own. It's already out there,
but you know what I like?

The mixture.

[Andy laughs]

Toni, I'm sending you everything.

Be at the agency by 8:00 tomorrow.
You can finish everything there. Bye.

[cell phone chimes]

What?

[Malena stammers] No, I...

I was just thinking
that I don't know anything about you.

Lately, I see you and Cali the most,
and Javi too,

who also tells me nothing.

I don't know. You intrigue me.

Are you single?
In a relationship? Where do you live?

[Andy laughs]

Shall we have dinner?

[doctor] You got lucky.
You should be thankful.

I'm waiting on some last test results.

In the meantime, get some rest,

and as soon as I hear back,
I'll discharge you.

-Okay?
-Yes.

-Okay.
-[Lisandro] Thanks.

-What a nice place.
-Isn't it?

Is this like a date or something?

-It could be.
-[Malena laughs]

Thanks. I need us to open the wine ASAP.

-Yes. Can you open the wine, please?
-Thanks.

There's not much time left,

and I'm happy with
how the presentation is coming together.

-Yes, I love it.
-Yes.

-The flood came at a good time. [laughs]
-[chuckling] That's true.

-Hi. How are you?
-Hi.

-Good, and you?
-Good. Everything's good.

Uh, Malena is the owner of the agency.
This is Imara.

-Hello.
-[Imara] Hi.

-A pleasure.
-Likewise.

We stopped in for a bite.
So we'll order soon.

-I'll be over there.
-Okay.

I was saying that I'm happy
and I'd like us to think more concretely,

not just the ideas we talked about
on the terrace, you know?

-[Malena] Mm-hmm.
-Like, I need some peace.

You might not believe it,

but I'd like to be in a quiet place
that brings me peace.

-I do believe it.
-Mmm.

I think it would be incredible
if you'd join the agency.

I didn't know you wanted to. Who is she?

-You're a friend of the chef?
-No.

-No?
-No.

Ah.

Are you telling me that you'd like us to
build some kind of company?

More or less.

-More or less?
-Yes.

-Are you evasive?
-No.

-No? [laughs]
-[laughs]

[laughs] Thanks.

-You won't tell me who she is?
-Yes.

-Who?
-She's my daughter.

Come on.

Seriously, she's my daughter.
Imara is my daughter. She's 22.

It's like this...

A couple of very good friends,
close friends, a long time ago,

wanted to be parents and couldn't,
and I helped them by donating sperm.

I had no idea. And so...

-I don't see the parents anymore.
-Oh.

But Imara and I are building
a very good relationship. Yes.

-I'm glad you told me.
-Thanks.

-It makes me happy.
-Hmm.

-Let's toast.
-Mm-hmm.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

And we got into the river.

And one night,

my dad came out of the water,
and his skin was oily.

We went into the river at night.

We ate sandwiches and watermelon.

We bought the watermelon,
a whole slice, and that was a party.

And that was... priceless. And a...

[Cali] Good evening.

Oh, how are you?

-Vito, can we talk?
-Yes, of course.

Guys, give us a minute?

Is the pool hall still open?
I'll catch up.

I'm starving.

[chuckles]

I'm not one to beat around the bush.

I don't like wasting my time.

I already told Malena
how I want things to go.

The accident left me in a...

[sighs]

...complicated spot.

I don't want any more complications.

It's super complicated.

Your daughter and Franco love each other
and they're suffering.

[Vito sighs]

I don't know if I want to continue
this conversation.

You might not be invited.

[Vito laughs]

More than anyone,
I know how my daughter seeks attention.

I'm in a toxic relationship.

Are you wondering if I wanted that? No.

I suppose he didn't either.

Now I realize that it's better for me
to keep my distance.

Camelia is keeping her distance.
You don't listen.

This isn't what's most important.

What do you mean by toxic?

This sausage.

We're the suppliers for this stall.
Be careful.

I haven't been here in a long time.

Vito.

[birds chirping]

It means a lot to see you like this.

It makes me so happy.

I think about Mom and how happy we'd be
to see you like this.

Mm-hmm. I know.

I love you. [kisses]

-Shall we?
-[chuckles]

Shall we?

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

[harp music playing]

We're ready. Let the bride enter.

[applause]

Ah, the stress.
I can't believe this is happening.

[Andy] So many candles.

Do we have a fire truck on standby?

I couldn't resist.

-[chuckles] We learn from our mistakes.
-Yes.

[applause, cheering]

[guests cheering]

-I love you.
-I love you.

[guest] To the bride and groom!

[harp music continues]

[dance music playing]

[guests cheering]

[guests chanting]

One down. I'll handle it.

On it. I'll go.

[guest 2] To the bride! Hey! [laughs] Hey!

To the bride and groom. Hey. [chuckles]

[cheering]

[guest 2 groans]

Oh, no.

-Are you okay?
-[groans] Yes, I'm okay.

-No, you're not okay. Uh...
-[groans]

[Malena] I'll help you.

-It's okay. I'll help you.
-[guest 2 groans]

[Malena] There you go.

-Come on.
-[guest 2] Where?

-[Iván] Never a dull moment.
-[Malena] No, this isn't my normal.

You show up at the strangest times.

-Oh...
-[guest 2 groans]

Let's go to the car.

-All we need is for someone to die.
-[guest 2] No, I'm alive.

[Malena] No, you're alive.
Here's your car. It's okay.

-[guest 2] I'm here.
-[Malena] Okay.

It's all right. It's okay.

All done.

-Perfect.
-[guest 2 groans]

-[Iván] Okay.
-[Malena] I'll get water.

[Iván] Sleep tight.

[Malena panting]

Tell me you have condoms.

Uh, no, I didn't think of that.

Wait, Male.

[whispers] Thanks.

[both panting, moaning]

-I had a good time.
-Me too.

Well, I've got to get back.

Cali, do you copy? Everything is
under control here. On my way.

[groans, sniffles]
We'll set it right there. Yeah.

-[Toni] What are you doing?
-[Javier laughs]

Come here. What are you doing?

-[Mario] Malena.
-I know. The blockage...

-No, we'll be done shortly.
-Really?

-Oh, that's great news. Finally.
-[Ray] That's great.

Clara. Clari!
Hey, I didn't ask how it went.

Good. We talked.
The kids are really nice, you know?

But I don't think they really know
what they want to do.

They're kind of like me.

-[Malena] Like you, how?
-I don't know.

Javi!

Ma.

Hi. Have you seen Clara?

Yeah. She wasn't feeling that well,
so she left.

-I'm going to the kitchen for coffee.
-Hmm. Yes.

How are you?

You're welcome.

[clears throat]

Oops. Been a while, right?

Excuse me.

[in English] ...to achieve a greater good.

[trilling]

-[in Spanish] It relaxes me.
-Yeah.

-[trilling]
-[trills]

[chuckles]

-[Malena, in English] Hi.
-Hi.

We were waiting for you. Please follow me.

[Malena] Okay.

[typing on phone]

-[Marcelo, in Spanish] Let's continue?
-Yes, yes.

Mrs. Portman.

-Cali. Cali, please.
-Uh.

Cali.

I need you to focus here for a moment.

Yes, sorry. I'm just a little nervous.

I'm easily distracted, but let's continue.

As I was saying,
the situation with Lisandro's complicated.

These fields are yours,
but they're in his name.

There's a family tradition
of putting the assets in the man's name.

They're scamming me, right?

We'll start the paperwork for the divorce.

I need you to sign these documents, and...

Lisandro's aware that you want a divorce,
isn't he?

Could you tell him?

[Toni] Ray, I'm leaving.
I'm exhausted by the nonstop pace.

-Great. Perfect.
-[Toni] Bye.

Toni, don't you want to hang out a while?

-Uh...
-My mom will be home soon.

No, thanks. You keep going.
I'll continue tomorrow.

-[Andy] You did well.
-You were saying?

-[Toni] See you tomorrow.
-See you.

[Ray] So? How was it?

-I think we did very well, right?
-Yes, good.

Mark sent a message.
I think he loved the idea.

Yes, they seemed happy.
I can't tell you how I butchered English.

Your pronunciation needs work.

Guys, this day is finally over.

What happened here? You cleaned all this?

Javi, Toni and I.

And the kids from the cleaning company.

There are two bags of trash,

from what was clogging the pipe.
They'll take them tomorrow.

Hey, are you getting the feeling

that this house is getting a little small
for Carregal?

-I think so. A little.
-Yes.

-I'm leaving. Want a ride?
-Sure. Great.

-Carregal, move your buns.
-Ah, sorry.

-Congratulations, okay?
-Thanks.

-See you.
-[Malena] Sleep well.

[cell phone dials]

Incoming Call

I need to be alone right now.

[cell phone chimes]

I need to be alone right now,

tell me everything tomorrow.

[doorbell rings]

[doorbell rings]

[sighs, sniffles]

[knocks]

[sighs]

-Yes.
-Hi.

-Can I come in?
-No.

-No? We'll just talk a little.
-No.

No? I need help.

-What can I do?
-Help me.

Help me for the last time.
Then I'll leave. I'll never show up again.

Do you want them to k*ll me? Answer.
Do you?

-No.
-Good.

What do you want?

The bracelet.

The bracelet you gave me?

You'll get it and go?

You won't ever see me again.

Nice place you've got here.

It's very nice. Yeah.

Luxurious.
Things are going well for you, huh?

Do you host lots of parties?
You invite lots of people? Huh?

Darling.

Darling.

I love you. You didn't have to leave.
You didn't have to.

[kisses]

-Wait here.
-Mm-hmm.

Come on.

[Cali scoffs]

-[Cali] No, no.
-Yes, yes.

-Forgive me, forgive me.
-No, no.

Take the bracelet, but not the deed.

-Forgive me.
-Lisandro, please. I'm begging you.

Your old man
shouldn't have put it in my name.

-Please.
-Forgive me.

Please. Don't be a son of a b*tch.
I'm begging you, please.

Don't call me a son of a b*tch.
I'll play it and win it back.

Take the bracelet,
but leave me the deed, please.

I'm sorry, you won't ever see me again.
I'll get it back. You won't see me again.

Never again.

[sobs]

[sobbing]

How are you, Male?
Wondering how you are.

Hi! Sorry, I was busy. How are you?
