01x03 - If They Let Us

[bunniefuu]

We all have something
worth fighting for, Mariachi.

You can't say that.

- I left it.
- What did you leave?

Have you heard the saying:

"You never know
what you've got till it's gone"?

Yes.

Well, I lost the woman I loved,
I lost my brother...

and my son.

The alarm. I didn't hear the alarm.

You're unemployed. Calm down.

You're right.

Jorge...

What happened?

It's just...

I don't know how to tell you this.

Tell me what? What happened?

Look...

If you need to talk about Xoch,

- nothing happened.
- It's not Xoch.

Yes.

Do you think we should talk about Xoch?

Do you want to talk about her?

I don't.

I prefer to talk about the weather,

politics, or how sunny is out there.

Fine.

You know I'm going to fix

the job thing, right?

Yes.

That's it. We're a team, OK?

I want you to trust me
the same way I trust you.

And today, in "Gravedad Cero",

we got nothing more
and nothing less than

Reta!

Welcome, guys.

Thanks.

Thank you. We are Reta.

You're becoming very famous.

People say that you're a revelation.

What do you think?

Well, first of all, we're so grateful.

It's the first time
we're on a radio station.

And... How do we feel about it?

It's like... a dream.

Well, don't forget to walk on eggshells.

Keep your feet on the ground.

Firstly, how did all this start? Tell me.

Huevo and I have

been composing for ages...

For eggs.

Huevo, you're the keyboard player, right?

Yes. Pedro and I are old friends.

The rest of the members
joined over time.

Pedro Cuevas,
better known as Peter Cubas.

We're not going to hide that, right?

But I don't want you
to hide this from me.

It turns out that this thing about music

was already in your blood.

Since, pay attention, my dear listeners,

Gavilán Cuevas is his uncle.

Tell me more about it!

Well, that's right. But...

You know people say:

"You can't choose your family."

What happened?

Did you already know what my uncle did?

I didn't.

I sent you the video.

OK.

I have bad news I must tell you today.

My brother... has Alzheimer's.

There's something
that my fans don't know.

{\an8}Everything that I am I owe to him.

And I know we've been estranged, but...

I miss him.

{\an8}But as the saying goes:

{\an8}"This too shall pass."

{\an8}Yes. Thank you very much.

{\an8}No, thanks to all
of you for your support.

He is a hypocrite and a coward.

We're here to see the nutritionist
to stop doing all those stupid diets.

And for health, and for...

I don't know, to listen to our body.

And... To be intuitive in food, right?

Don't let hunger control your life, David.

My name's Huevo, mom.

- David?
- Huevo, miss. Huevo.

Huevo, come with me.

- I'm sorry.
- Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Hello, son.

Did you listen to your brother?

Nobody told me anything.

He even dedicated a song to your father.

I was busy washing everyone's clothes.

That's so nice but hang them well, honey.

Son.

What's up, dad?

Did you see what Gavilán
did with the video?

- He tagged us all.
- Really?

I got more followers and a lot of likes.

Look after your father.

Where are you going?

I'll be right back.

Jorge...

Pedro seems to be

very interested in his band.

I guess so... Why?

Just making conversation.

Dad...

What happened between you and Gavilán?

I guess something happened, right?

I don't know.

Well, the important thing is

that you look happy now.

That's right.

Here you go.

- Without egg?
- Without.

I know that nopal is healthy

but without beans?

Without chicken tlacoyo,

without pork, without pozole...

Stop, stop, stop, mom.

Help me.

It's for our own good.

The doctor said that it's for a while.

It's little by little.

This will be quick.

No wonder people lose weight.

I know.

This doesn't look tasty.

Our beauty will always be forever.

This is only for a little while.

Of course. For a while.

I won't even notice it.

But look...

David.

David!

Come on. The boss is waiting for you.

Oh, man. You're pushing me.

Nice horse, huh?

Come on, move!

Be careful with my mustache.

I live from my image.

But not for much longer.

What's wrong, Malaka? You

You gave me ten days.

Look. Can you see that girl?

She's my daughter.

Do you have children?

You know I don't, Malaka.

Do not be a liar.

What do you want?

I want my money back.

Otherwise, face the consequences.

No, wait.

I brought it.

Here is some of the money.

This is nothing.

I'm sorry.

I'll answer. It's the rest of the money.

What happened, sister-in-law?

I was talking about you.

Calm down.

Look, let's meet.

Please, tell me. Did my son eat here?

Mrs. Georgina

I don't want to get in trouble.

I got a family to feed.

It's top secret.

Oh, come on. I'll keep it, too.

- Georgina.
- Call me "mother."

He can keep secrets.

I'll see you, huh?

Why did you talk about your brother on TV?

Calm down.

Do you think that will calm me down?

I just want to fix it, Lucía.

No. You are out of our lives.

It will be like this. You can't come back.

I'm not coming back like nothing happened.

And in case you're not aware

it was him that looked for me,

who, by the way, wants to fix this, too.

Come on. He doesn't remember anything

and you're taking advantage of that.

What about Jorge?

We won't talk about Jorge.

Does he remember what happened with Jorge?

Jorge is your brother's son and my son.

We raised him.

Things are very simple.

You want your husband back.

And I want to get back what I lost.

If we're together,

maybe we can get my brother's memory back.

What's up?

- Hey.
- Where's dad?

He's inside and waiting for you.

Dad, Pedro is here!

Why did he asked me to arrive earlier?

I don't know. Nobody tells me anything,

nobody asks me anything.

You already know that.

Keep playing the trumpet and stop crying.

I gave up a rehearsal to be here.

Oh, poor thing.

You're the only one giving things up.

No one's going to give up anything, okay?

You're not ready yet.

Let's go inside. Come on.

I want some.

Can you drink, dad?

I don't know.

And if I couldn't, I already forgot it.

Pour me some.

In any case,

I won't remember anything

I am going to tell you.

I know I don't remember you as I should.

But I have a clear and strong feeling.

And that's why I don't want you

to sacrifice yourself for me.

It's no a sacrifice.

Of course it is, Jorge.

And I shouldn't ask you.

Pedro needs be focused on his band.

You need to get a job.

If you don't do it,

how are you going to start a family?

Neither of you can give up your dreams.

Do you agree?

Listen, I want to be a dad,

but I want to be a good son, too.

You were a mariachi. You were this.

And you gave it up for your family.

But you did a great job.

And besides that,

Mexico can't miss Gallo's voice.

Well, my thing was to compose.

Why don't you compose with Reta, dad?

- Are you serious?
- Of course.

Hello! How are you?

You don't even knock the door.

Well, the door isn't locked.

Oh, I see.

How are you? Do you still remember me?

- I do, Huevo.
- Great.

Listen, I have to tell you something...

Why is the door open?

That is very dangerous.

Anyone could enter.

Rosendo, you can't drink.

While you're discussing, I arrived.

Pour me some agave.

Gavilán.

Gallo.

Lucía brought me.

So there's no problem if I sing with him.

That's what I wanted to tell you.

We got eight parties.

- Really?
- Eight?

Well, guys, where are the instruments?

Hey.

Don't leave the door open.

There's a lot of insecurity.

Mrs. Lucía. How are you?

- Gavilán.
- Hello.

Hello.

Hi, Rosendo. How are you?

It's "The Crazy Mariachi."

"The Crazy Mariachi", that's right.

With my band.

"Tachuela", "Ciruelo", "Bombón",

"Algodón", "Uncle Algodón", "Cucaracho",

"Taco", and "Algodón Jr."

How many mariachis did you bring?

They are my cousins.

But you all are in white.

Don't worry, I brought the suits.

Foreigners love the suits I brought.

- He's a poet.
- Jorge, I'm calling you.

Why don't you take me?

She doesn't mean...

She asked why I didn't answer the phone.

Foreigners come on their own.

Hi. How are you? I'm Mateo.

I'm Xoch, and I'm Mexican, dude.

You know what? I'm going to sing for you.

Cousins! Three and...

Guys, don't play in the house.

Well, then we're getting ahead.

What part of Mexico are you from?

Let's go.

The bottle! What's wrong with him?

Then we have to put on that white suit.

Are you going to stay here?

The crazy mariachi wants to dance

The crazy mariachi wants to dance

The crazy mariachi wants to dance

The crazy mariachi wants to dance

I'm crazy crazy and she's crazy

I'm crazy crazy and she's crazy

I like this.

So you two started as mariachi?

Yes. El Gallo and El Gavilán.

No, my little brother.

El Gavilán and El Gallo.

Now the light is red,

get closer.

Let's get closer.

One, two...

We look so attractive.

Too familiar on the social networks

all of a sudden, right?

Tag us if you post it.

What?

Your fans will see

where your musical side comes from.

You can find me as "georgecaves"

Finally you came. Welcome.

Hi. How are you?

I'm fine, still alive.

Did you hire us?

Yes, I did.

I need half up front, and half at the end.

What? I don't pay in advance, my friend.

He doesn't pay in advance.

"Water passes through your house..."

"A bird in the hand is..."

We're already here.

Look, we're already here. Let's do it.

He says that we're already here.

Great! Thank you very much, guys.

It's to say goodbye to my best friend.

We're very sorry, sir.

Come on in, guys. You're very welcome.

How about "Travelling Swallow", brother?

I agree. It sounds right.

Start.

Traveling Swallow

Where did you emigrate?

Tell me where you went

Because I want to hug you

Traveling Swallow

I miss you so much

I want the time

To listen to me for a moment

And walk through the past

Traveling Swallow

You light up my sky

I owe you my life

Where are you, sweetheart...

I think this is other kind of goodbyes.

Guess what?

After so many years

my friend is finally getting married.

This is wonderful, friend!

I brought a Mariachi band for you.

You brought me "Las Águilas Blancas."

"Las Águilas Doradas."

I'm sorry, guys. "Las Águilas Doradas."

Even Gavilán Cuevas is here, my friend.

How about playing "The Crazy Mariachi"?

The crazy mariachi wants to dance

The crazy mariachi wants to dance

The crazy mariachi wants to dance

The crazy mariachi wants to dance

The crazy mariachi wants to succeed

The crazy mariachi wants to succeed

He wants to succeed around the world

He wants to succeed around the world

I'm so happy to sing with you again.

- I know, right?
- Yes.

Just like old times.

Like old times!

By the way,

Why have we been estranged?

I've asked Lucía but

she doesn't tell me anything.

Well, she must have a reason.

You know how women are.

The important thing is

that we're back together.

Yes...

- I'll wait for you in the car.
- Yes.

Can you see I was right?

This is the best for him.

I'm not sure this is the best.

Well, I see him very happy.

Because he doesn't remember

that you're a traitor and a coward.

A traitor and a coward?

As people say: "Whatever the case,"

I see him very happy.

Mom, is everything okay?

Oh, son. I don't know.

Hey, Pedro.

We need to talk.

Not right now.

It's important.

This isn't a good time, Huevo.

I know, but you can't keep this up.

You can't have everything.

Is your father going to compose?

How do you know that?

I heard it. But that's not the point.

You can't make those decisions.

You're not Reta.

It's a band.

Go ahead.

Do you like it?

In the corner of my memories

I forgot the hope in time

I never looked back

You're doing great. Keep going.

And I'm coming

Love, beautiful word

That man has created

A feeling that was born

From heart

Love is a delirium

It's magic, it's illusion

It's life, it's death, and despair

Love is also hope

It's pain...

What are you doing here?

Who is that?

That's Amelia Vargas. She is very famous.

Yes, I know who she is.

But you know what I mean.

I need you to take me home, I feel bad.

Don't start, please.

Please, go back home.

We're working.

Come on.

What's wrong with you?

Are you alright?

I don't feel fine.

Do you want me to call the doctor?

Yes.

Look, she's not serious.

She just wants attention.

She needs a doctor.

Then call him. We're working.

Are you ready, Lucía?

Exhale... Inhale... Good.

Congratulations, mom.

Congratulations, dad.

No... I am not...

Rosendo.

Thanks.

We're going to take care of him.

{\an8}I'm surprised by Gavilán's popularity
in social networks.

{\an8}I love what he posts with his family.

{\an8}So do I. Of course. But,

{\an8}Mario Zandoval, can you tell us more?

That's why I love it. Look,

Gavilán and I very close.

{\an8}And we know each other quite well.
I'm not going to lie.

{\an8}But I'm very fascinated

{\an8}because he's quite reserved.

{\an8}I mean, I had no idea about his family.

Me neither but even Mario had no idea.

I thought he was a very lonely person.

{\an8}And I'm glad he has people
that love him.

I feel this is the prelude

{\an8}to one big exclusive report
or an inside Gavila's home interview.

{\an8}Of course, Gloria.

An interview isn't bad

but it's suspicious that

everything has come out right now

when, according to rumors,

his tickets are not being sold.

Don't say that.

{\an8}It's true. Ma'am, did you buy a ticket?

{\an8}- No, nobody did.
- I did.

{\an8}Can I come with you?

You should convince him to sign.

I don't want you to end up like me.

Look at me there.

All I have left is the body

and the cadence.

Mom, it doesn't matter.

I'm serious.

When you were born, I got fired.

So I'm guilty because you were pregnant?

Of course not.

But I got pregnant

and I didn't have a manager to help me.

I don't want to waste time,

I got the base. Let's record the voices.

- OK, fine.
- Come on.

- The same voice, right?
- Yes.

Three, two, one.

I like it. It doesn't even sound like you.

So cool.

It's really good.

Rosendo, don't quit music.

No, I won't. As long as I'm allowed.

See you, then.

See you later, doctor.

Honey, it's not that you are allowed.
That makes me feel bad.

It's just...

We have to be careful with your brother.

Fine. If they let us.

If they let us

We will love each other forever

If they let us

We will live in a new world

I think we can see...

Where are you going?

No, that's your baggage.

What are you talking about, brother?

I told you not to get involved.

Grab your baggage.

Jorge, you're hurting me.

Aren't you listening?

What's wrong with you?

You can't do this to us. He's your son.

Listen, you better go with her.

You've always liked her.

Stop joking or you will regret.

What kind of jokes?

Stop, guys, please.

What's your problem?

Stop! You're very stupid!

Lucía!

It's very simple.

Sign these papers

that say that all the songs are mine...

I'll give you my wife... and my son.

Come on, sign it.

There

The two of us together

Rosendo.

Close to God...

Can you hear me, Rosendo?

...What we dream of

He's crying, doctor.

I'm not crying. I just remember.

If they let us

We'll forget everything else

If they let us

If they let us
