01x01 - The Beginning

[bunniefuu]

Rodri, I've never
seen you so focused.

Morales... this time
it's really urgent, eh?

Ugh, I¹m running late.

But pay me the rent, okay?

When have I let you down?

Mmm, January, February,
March, should I go on?

Do you really owe her
all that much, Morales?

I owe her? We owe her.
Where¹s your half?

I had to buy some books for
the framework of my thesis.

Uh, yeah, I lent you that money.

Then I guess we owe
you that as well.

We owe her?

Today I get my bonus.
You know what that means.

No.

That today I'll pay you.

Okay, but please don¹t forget,
because I really need it.

We¹ll pay you today.

DIRECTORY HIDALGO BUILDING

The same floor.

What¹s up? I¹m Morales.

Hi, nice to meet you. I¹m Vale.

Hey, baby...

Wanna put some meat on the
grill or go out for drinks?

It would be "guay".

"Guay" is a term used in Spain.

We say ªchidoº here.

What do they say in Monterrey?

I don¹t know. I¹m
from Chihuahua.

The land of the ªaguachilesº.

That¹s Sinaloa.

Well, they both
start with an ªSº.

- You're kidding.
- What?

She¹s pretty.

Oh... see? She¹s pretty.

She¹s mine, dude.

It's strange that you don't
see it. After all, I feel like

my style is crystal
clear, right?

Oh, yeah...

They plagiarized me,
man! Like Peña¹s thesis.

The former president got
his thesis plagiarized?

I have to protect mine!

Plagiarism, dummy!

And they¹re also using it
on their site in the promos.

So, what do we do?

Hit them where it hurts.

Where?

On social media.

- First day?
- Mm-hm.

Oh, don¹t worry.

It¹s very simple,
you'll enjoy it.

Oh, yeah? And why is that?

Because nobody
looks at what we do.

For instance,
evaluation's today,

and the questions haven¹t
changed so far this year.

There¹s a really cool guy, his
name¹s Zurita the Evaluator.

You give him chocolate
and he hooks you up.

So, is the exam very difficult?

Not at all, "plebe".

ªPlebeº is used in Mazatlán.

I¹m from Chihuahua.

What¹s that?

The answers to the exam.

Oh...

So if they change up the exam
on you... you would fail? Right?

Nah. There's always
Zurita to hook you up.

That Zurita.

Well? Should we
grab some coffee?

I have a boyfriend.

He¹s in Europe.

Plague.

The heart is woe...

Don't mess with penguins.

Damn auto-corrector.

Plagiarism...

The Artist is worthy.

Don't mess with pictures.

Hmm? Good?

Mh-hmm.

Here, let me see.

Oh!

Zurita, my favorite
evaluator. How are you doing?

Are you making fun of me?

No? This is the one
you like, right?

They¹ve brought
another evaluator.

They're serious now
about the layoffs.

No, no. What do you mean
ªanother evaluatorº?

Yes. It¹s her.

Dammit!

I¹m going to need
more chocolates.

No, it¹s the other one.

The pretty one?!

She¹s from Chihuahua. The
land of the aguachile.

Oh, Zurita those
are from Sinaloa.

Alright, I'll see you later.

Yeah, sure.

Miss Treviño...

There are too many elements
that are useless in the office.

Good morning, Morales.

Get rid of them at once.

Yeah, I can handle it.

You're kidding!

A direct message
from MetsiTravels.

So, open it.

Oh, yeah.

"Dear Miss Rebeca
Varela..." That's me.

"It has caught our attention
that blah, blah, blah,"

and the intention of the team

is to reach a favorable
solution for everyone,

reiterating an
apology..." Obviously.

"Blah, blah, blah and
we await your response."

Sincerely, the legal
team of MetsiTravelsº.

Of course...

Seriously, Ro?

What?

You don¹t even
like country music.

Oh, yeah, but look
how cheap it is.

Look, we need help. We
need a Machiavellian mind

that¹s willing to do absolutely
everything, an evil genius.

I knew that you would come.

That's because we called you.

- The usual?
- One mezcal, please.

And I¹ll have a whiskey.

Whiskey coming up!

What they did to you
just wasn¹t right.

Well, no, but they have
attorneys and they have...

You did right in
coming to see me.

We can¹t continue to allow
these foreign companies

to come and do that
to our audience.

Foreign?

They're called MetsiTravels.

That doesn¹t matter.

We¹re not going to allow it!

You know, Motherland
comes first!

Exactly right. Thanks
so much, Chesca.

Nah...

You have nothing
to thank me for.

Honesty above all, and

yes, I will be needing
my fees in advance.

Seriously? I lent you
money for beers yesterday.

Oh, honey, come on, let¹s not
mix business with pleasure.

You're hard at work! Very good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

As we agreed on, Miss Treviño...

No mercy.

No mercy.

Perez, I leave you in charge
of this tender, please.

How did it go, Morales?

Like never before.

Zurita was a really
good guy, right?

What are you doing? Put
it here. Come on, put it.

Hello?

Good afternoon.

I¹m the representative
for Miss Rebeca Varela.

Am I speaking with
the plagiarists?

We don't want to be
referred to in that way.

Look, if we negotiate...

No, no, no, It is way too
late for that, my friend!

Listen, Mister...

What did you say your name was?

That doesn¹t matter.

I just want to let you know
that you can¹t do this to us.

We¹re going to go as far we can
on this because we have proof!

We do have proof, don¹t we?

Uh, yes.

Yeah?

Yes, it's in a floppy disk.

Who still saves anything
on a floppy disk, my dear?

Me!

Because I was vintage way
before vintage was cool.

What¹s a floppy disk?

Sofi, you wouldn¹t have one
of those old archaic computers

that were really popular
back in your day, right?

Chesca, don¹t you worry. What
can go wrong? We have Rodrigo.

He studied computer
science, right?

Yeah, one semester.

There you go.

What does that
have to do with it?

Oh, my God.

What happened? Did
I surprise you?

Very much so.

Do you want to know
about your evaluation?

Obviously.

You scored ninety-four points.

That¹s good.

Out of a thousand.

That¹s bad.

But the chocolate?

It¹s delish! Thank you.

And the bonus?

No.

Morales, what did
you do now? Why?

Nothing.

It just so happens
that the new HR lady...

- Well, she...
- Mh-hm.

Alright. I won¹t be long.

She just walked in.

I don¹t know what happened,
I gave her the chocolate.

I read somewhere that it worked
like this, it¹s fantastic.

- Mouse, it's a mouse.
- How do we turn this on?

Um, I didn¹t get that far but...

We¹re missing a cable here
and we have an extra one.

You¹re going to help me.

Because if she's here,
it's for a reason.

She followed me.

Morales, who would
follow you and why?

It doesn¹t matter.
You¹ll go sit with her

and say nice things
about me. Okay?

Nope.

Don¹t do it for me

do it for the rent.

Okay.

I see that you like
water a lot. Don¹t you?

What a coincidence, I do too.

May I sit down?

Do... I know you?

I¹m very famous on social
media, that¹s probably it.

No, no, that's now
what I meant...

Hello?

Oh, Mr. Parking attendant,
yes, I¹m coming.

My friend, everything okay?

No, everything¹s wrong.

I have a parking attendant
watching over my things in boxes

and I don¹t know what to do
because I have nowhere to live,

because I don¹t
have an apartment,

so I don¹t know what
to do with my things

and my parking attendant.

Wait, did you say...

Mr. Parking attendant,
boxes outside of...

Are you looking
for an apartment?

It just so happens that I
have two furnished ones.

They¹re my dad's but
let's say they're mine.

- And one¹s available.
- What?!

Yes!

And are they close by?

Across the street.

What?!

Yeah!

- Friendship.
- My new friend.

- Take you there, okay?
- Mm-hm.

Oops! I got excited

too much.

Oh! Morales.

You¹re probably wondering
what we¹re doing.

No.

Okay.

Uhhh, perfect. Remember

you are suffering.

- They¹ve done you wrong, okay?
- Okay.

What is she wearing and why?

Social media reacts
better to folklore.

And where are you
supposed to be from?

Well, what does
that matter? From...

Toluca or one of
those magic villages.

Perfect, we¹re all ready, right?

Run her.

No, why would I run her off?
She hasn't even given it a try.

Oh...

Rolling.

Perfect. And... action!

What are you doing here?

I work here.

After your evaluation?

I should ask, what
are you doing here?

I work here.

Well, that's just
great, "morra"!

We don¹t use that word!

And I do come here to work.

I don¹t,

but I still get paid.

Typical ªChilangoº!

The good thing is that
I¹ll never see you again.

Never!

Never!

Never!

Never!

We were retweeted by Diego Luna,

Martha Higareda...

Daniela Luján...

Who¹s Daniela Luján?

She's a legend.

They¹re gonna call back.

How¹s the hacking going?

It¹s going...

Shh! Hey... Okay.

Yes, good afternoon.

Good afternoon, guys.

We are willing to offer you
a generous sum of money.

Mmm, how much do you want
to put this behind us?

How much should we ask for?

How much do we owe in rent?

- Three months.
- That¹s how much.

Oh, such mediocre
mentalities, my dears.

Chesca's right.

Ask for tickets to the
country music fest in Wyoming.

Okay. We want nineteen thousand,
nine hundred ninety pesos.

Pesos?

Perfect. You¹ll
hear from us soon.

Chesca

you¹re a

genius at negotiating!

Yeah, Chesca, you¹re the b*mb.

Oh, yes, I know.

Ohhh, Rodri... a
whiskey, if you would.

Archundia...

God won¹t deal you more
than you can handle.

Menchaca...

Remember that every cloud
has a silver lining.

Villaurrutia...

Remember when a door
closes, a window opens.

You've gotta be kidding.

What is this?

Listen...

I was thinking

that we should split the money.

Excuse me? You didn¹t have to
cry in front of the camera.

Well, whatever you say,
but fifty percent is mine.

Come in, come in.

Good afternoon,
gentlemen. Hello, Miss.

- Hello.
- How you doing?

You must be the shameless
attorney. Is that our money?

No.

It¹s just my gym bag.

Oh, that¹s so nice. So,
what gym do you go to?

Our money, please.

MetsiTravels offers you
an apology and this sum

in exchange for you to desist

from disparaging us on
social media, because...

I did it! Here¹s the picture.

No.

Yes, that¹s the one.

That¹s the plagiarism.
How shameful.

Excuse me...

Wait, no!

Do you know the trouble you got
us into with your defamation?

MetsiTravels fell by twenty
percent in public opinion.

Even Daniela Luján retweeted it.

I know! A legend, right?

We¹re going to have to
move forward legally.

Against Daniela Lujan?

No!

Against you.

Alright

it looks like my work
here is done, so...

I'll leave you here to
your business. I must...

That's unless

you do something for us.

What's up?

Hello. I already found out.

And I wanted to tell
you not to worry, okay?

God won¹t deal you more
than you can handle.

Every cloud has a silver lining

and whenever a door closes,
a window opens, Morales.

- Rebeca...
- What?

Shut up!

And I¹m glad that you found
out, you know what that means.

No.

That rent's gonna take a while.

You know I don¹t like to
talk about work after six.

Your job is to charge the rent?

Yes. And you make it
extremely difficult for me.

Just come and watch
my performance, okay?

- Ready?
- Move it this way...

- Let's see.
- Ready. Come right up.

Thanks so much.

- The hat?
- Uh-huh. Retouch.

Okay. Fine.

Beautiful.

Where does the assistant go?

Right here, in silence.

Very good.

Are you ready? Run her.

And... Action!

- I don't want to.
- Come on, honey! They'll sue us!

What? What do you mean
they're gonna sue us?

Who is it?

It must be the new tenant,

one who will pay the
rent, not like you guys.

Is she pretty?

Seriously, Morales?

- Hi!
- Hi.

- Oh, is there a party?
- No.

The middle-class
is so darn small.

Yeah, very small.

Where did that come from?

Don¹t even ask.

Rebeca, I wanted to ask
you for a huge favor.

Anything you want, my friend.

I wanted to know if you can give
me a few days to pay the rent.

I was fired for being
excessively efficient.

What?

Apparently, I fired too many.

You screwed up, "morra"!

I¹m from Chihuahua,

and we don¹t use that word.

Well, I understand you.

Yes. I¹m from Satellite.
Well, from Satellite City.

But... welcome, eh. So pretty,
so darling. Come in, go on.

And that¹s why MetsiTravels
is the very best travel site,

which doesn't plagiarize photos,

invites you to the Wyoming
festival for only 5,000 pesos.

And you

you cannot miss this
incredible offer!

Was that good?
