[indistinct chatter]
[keyboard clicking]
[man] Hey, Matias,
they're ready for you.
[whimsical music playing]
[sighs] My distinguished guests,
it is said
that every great innovation
starts as an idea on a page.
Well, today, we're gonna
witness one of those ideas
become a reality.
I give you the Tacomatic.
-[woman 1] Hm.
-[woman 2 gasps]
[Matias]
The world's first AI taco truck.
It brings a perfect
amount of supply
to the greatest amount of demand
by leveraging
social media posts,
location information,
weather, and traffic patterns,
all while producing
the highest profit margin routes
and best customer satisfaction
technology has to offer.
[woman 1] Mmm.
-Give it a go.
-[man 1] Hmm.
[whimsical music continues]
[whirring]
Mm. So good.
You're gonna love it.
This one's for you.
There you go.
There are very few moving parts.
Maintenance is very minimal.
And after this first round
of funding,
we got three more trucks.
We can set up
a proper supply chain.
Hmm. Sounds good.
[tapping]
[horn honking]
[crackling]
Um, I'm...
I'm just gonna go check,
if that's okay with you.
[man 2] Uh-oh.
[hissing]
[woman 1] I need to get this
for the Gram.
[woman 2] Well, this is going
on my TikTok.
[grunts]
[coughs]
-[in slow motion] No! Don't go!
-[woman 1 yelps]
Don't go!
[man 1 grunting]
[whirring]
[yelling]
Why?
[wailing]
I pico'd my pants!
[woman] Matias!
It's only cream!
[mariachi music playing]
[woman singing in Spanish]
[lively music playing]
[woman vocalizing]
[woman singing in Spanish]
[cell phone buzzing]
[sighs]
Hi, Mom.
-I'm sorry. It was on vibrate.
-[whispering] Talk to her.
There is a large error
on the reunion menu.
Okay, but I'm pretty sure
it was good
when I left last night.
I mean...
-[Victoria] Too salty.
-Excuse me?
Not you.
[in Spanish]
[in English] They keep adding
too much salt to Abuelo's mole.
Well, if you give them
the recipe--
He kept it a family secret
for a reason, Cecilia.
I'm just following his wishes.
The menu says
"Annual Sepulveda
Family Dinner,"
and typically
we indicate the year.
Just because we missed a year
doesn't mean we change things.
Mija.
[lively music playing]
[whirring]
[woman singing in Spanish]
[beeping]
Will you please check on Matias?
I forgot to knock
on his door this morning.
Mom, he's a grown man.
He can take care of himself.
Ay, mija, don't say that.
He has only us
to take care of him.
We're missing napkins.
What about Grandma?
It's been almost six months.
I don't want to talk
about that woman.
[in Spanish]
[in English] You and Grandma
need to talk.
You all live in the same house.
No one needs to talk, Cecilia.
Now go, please.
Check on your brother.
Neither one of you seems to know
how to answer your phone.
You're responsible
if he's late again.
Of course.
[woman] But Kasey said
she'd be here in 15 minutes.
[man] Oh, stop. The last time
you argued, I was in the car
with that moron cousin of yours.
-How many cars
has she gone through? Four.
-You're gonna be late.
Just get in the car, or I swear
I'll post your baby photos.
Mom, threats only work
if you actually
follow through with them.
Don't tempt me.
Can Dad at least drop me off
a block away?
-What?
-Please?
[scoffs]
Honey, don't worry.
I can pull the officer card
and speed like crazy.
That doesn't work
for security guards.
Seatbelt, Yari.
Should've sent you
to boarding school.
I can't handle
much more of this whole
"you're an embarrassment" phase.
When do I get to be
the cool dad again?
-You were never the cool dad.
-Ugh!
- Et tu?
-[laughing]
And I see you
laughing at my pain.
I'd say it's more
of an equally shared pain.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Hey, come here.
Give me a kiss.
Hey, did you talk
to your mom yet?
-I will. Now get out of here.
-I'm going.
I gotta go grab Matias, okay?
Oh, do me a favor.
Go easy on him.
You've been spending
too much time with my mother.
Can't help it if she loves me.
-[engine starts]
-Love you too, honey.
[lively music playing]
Good morning.
Oh, take the chocolate.
Right.
Thanks, Grandma.
-Be nice to your brother.
-Brother.
Yes, I know, Grandma.
Matias!
It's only cream!
-[Cecilia laughing]
-Oh, jeez, Cecilia.
Why do you always do that?
Because it's fun. Come on.
Come on.
Good morning to you too.
[chuckling]
I'm guessing the taco truck's
still hunting your dreams.
You should see
someone about that.
You probably got PTSD
or something.
[Cecilia grunts]
-Do you mind if I--?
-Do you mind?
Well, maybe you shouldn't leave
your things laying around.
Well, maybe
you should get out of here.
I would, but apparently someone
has to make sure
Mom's baby boy
gets to work on time.
Seriously? The buyout?
The restaurant?
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
I just got a lot going on.
Can't you just find
someone else?
No. We're short-staffed,
and you agreed to help out.
Okay, well,
just give me a few minutes.
-Seriously? You have ten,
and then I'm leaving.
-Okay.
-Ten minutes, Matias.
-Ten. Thanks. Yeah.
-Ten minutes.
-Go. I'll be there.
-Okay. Go, go, go.
You're gonna be late.
-Hurry up.
[groans]
-Cecilia, I need to talk to you.
-Uh-uh.
I know your delay tactics,
Grandma.
I'm not waiting for him.
Mija, please.
You're walking too fast
for my bad knee.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.
-[winces] Ay.
-Grandma.
[shredder humming]
Mija, I need you
to do me a favor.
[In Spanish]
[in English] that I want to end
with the soup.
You know, your vegan soup?
The one you showed me last week?
You're right. This family
needs to eat less meat.
You really think so?
That's great.
Oh, now, wait.
No, I'm not telling her that.
-She'll freak. No.
-No, no, no.
Mija, mija, please.
Your mama stresses me out.
Grandma. You and Mom can't keep
using Matias and I
as messengers.
You two need to talk.
-Thanks, Grandma.
-Oh.
-Mija.
-I knew it.
-No, no.
-Delay tactics.
Mija, I'm serious.
This family needs
new traditions,
-and you know that. Hm?
-[car door closes]
I thank you for talking
to your mother for me.
[chuckles] Ay, Dios.
You two have a good day.
Bye-bye. [chuckles]
No, Matias.
No, not the pink...
[mouthing] I can't hear you.
[Matias] What is she saying?
[grunts]
Do you always
have to drive like that?
Mm. These are really good.
-[chuckles] Oh, yeah?
-Mm-hm.
That's a spiked one.
[Cecilia laughing]
[bolero music playing]
[woman singing in Spanish]
Marisella, Shelly, can you
please finish setting up?
The Ainsley party
will be here shortly.
You're gonna be fine.
You barely ingested anything.
We'll talk about you
being late later.
Marisella?
When the party arrives,
can you attend to the VIPs?
I'll take the orders.
And, Matias, can you bus?
-I can bus. I got this.
-Really?
Cecilia, I know it's been
a while, but I can bus.
Okay. Thanks.
[mariachi music playing]
[woman]
What's the budget looking like?
[woman vocalizing]
[indistinct chatter]
[speaking indistinctly]
[woman singing in Spanish]
[man] Excuse me.
Excuse me.
[cell phone buzzing]
Hello? Speaking.
Sir. Yeah, could we please get
some water for the, um...?
Wait a minute.
-How do I know you?
-Oh, I don't think we've met.
You're that guy.
Uh, I'm not sure...
Yo, Ian.
Come over here, man.
[Matias] I...
-What's up?
-It's the taco truck guy.
Oh, my God, that's him.
That's him!
-No, that's not me. I...
-[Ian] Oh. Oh.
-You gotta say it.
-Oh, ha, I'm not sure what--
-Say what?
-[Ian] Come on, man. You know.
[in high-pitched voice]
No, don't run away!
I pico'd my pants!
-[Ian] That's you. Yes!
-[man laughs]
It's really not that funny,
though. [chuckles]
[Ian] That's the guy.
That's the guy.
You gotta say it.
[bolero music playing]
Cecilia, why is Matias
by himself?
I needed Shelly
to start covering breaks.
I was about to go help.
Why would you propose
chapulines on the menu?
No one likes crickets.
I've been doing some research
on more environmentally
sustainable dishes.
We have so much meat
on the menu, and chapulines--
Mija, I understand
you want to be ergonomic.
-That's not the word.
-This is tradition.
We've always had the same dishes
at the restaurant
for the past 50 years.
Never once have
we served chapulines
or anything different.
And this year,
with Grandpa not here,
we need to remember
and celebrate our roots.
But don't you think
he would have wanted us
to build on his legacy?
[scoffs] Mija, don't talk
to me like I didn't
know my own father.
Mom, I wasn't--
Mija, if you really wanna try
chapulines, we can have
a cricket feast at your house.
I'll even let you teach me
how to cook them. But not here.
We're sticking with tradition.
Well, speaking of tradition...
Qu?
Grandma wants to end
the family dinner with a soup.
[in Spanish]
[clattering]
I told you
not to leave him alone.
[lively music playing]
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
-Dude, this is silk.
-What happened?
[Cecilia] Mr. Ainsley,
are you all right?
This guy should do
comedy skits for a living.
-[Victoria] Matias,
go get cleaned up.
-[cell phone buzzing]
I'm so sorry.
My deepest apologies.
This doesn't usually happen.
[chuckles nervously]
Why is your bank calling you?
-I just-- I'll be right back.
-Matias.
Cecilia. Um, we'll get this
all sorted out.
And, of course, take care
of any dry cleaning expenses.
Well, is there any leeway?
Well, can't I speak
for both of us?
What if she's sick or something?
No, no, no. She's-- Just--
That's fine. We'll be there.
Yes, thank you.
Grandma?
-Help me put these in the van.
-Are you free right...? Wait.
Thank you, mijo.
You are a blessing, corazn.
-Wait, where are you going?
-I have more stuff.
But what's all this for?
Put it in the van.
The door's open. Go, go.
What is all this for?
Grandma?
-[Anselma] Boo.
-Jeez.
[Matias sighs]
-Are you in trouble?
-No, I'm just, uh...
-Hiding?
-Yes, I'm hiding.
Ah.
-Help me with these.
-Where are you taking this?
To the house.
Move that box by the chair,
and put those there.
-What's this for?
-The reunion dinner.
-Which reunion dinner?
-Our reunion dinner.
-Our family reunion dinner?
-Yes, Matias.
[in Spanish]
[in English]
Our family reunion dinner.
-Everyone will be
there tomorrow.
-Wait, does Mom know?
-She'll figure it out.
-When?
I imagine when she sees
everyone at the house.
She's already ordered
everything for the dinner
to the restaurant already.
Matias, Matias,
what do you think all this is?
You're stealing
the family reunion dinner food?
Mijo, mijo, you can't steal
what you already own.
-But what about everyone else?
-Everybody knows already.
-Well, I didn't know.
-You should check
your e-mail more often.
Grandma, this is ridiculous.
She's in there.
Just go talk to her.
I will not talk to her
until she apologizes.
She's so stubborn and stuck
in her ways and tradition.
Mijo, this year,
of all the years,
the family needs a fresh start.
I need a fresh start.
Something new.
Grandma, this fight
between you two has gotten
really out of hand.
Well, she started it.
You heard her at the funeral,
yelling that my pink conchas
did this, and that I did that.
I mean, you would almost think
that she was blaming me
for k*lling your abuelo.
You know she didn't mean it.
Whose side are you on?
No one's. I'm just saying--
When you get to be my age
and have children of your own--
Oh, which reminds me.
I would like to have great-
grandchildren before I die.
-Grandma, I-- sh*t.
-[Victoria] Matias.
sh*t! Keep loading
till it's set.
[in Spanish]
What does it look like
we're doing? Keep loading.
[in English] Why do you guys
have all that stuff?
-Are those my chiles?
-[rustling]
-What are you doing?
-What does it look like
I'm doing?
-I'm helping Grandma load
these supplies into the van.
-What is...?
I can do this on my own.
They're my chiles,
and yes, they are.
And what are you planning
on doing with my chiles?
I'm going to make chile
with the chiles.
Why is your bank calling you?
[Victoria and Grandma
arguing indistinctly]
It's none of your concern.
It's not important.
Don't ask me questions.
I see. And why are you--?
I am going to let you
rest there.
Chile is what people
put on food to enjoy.
-Don't be rude, Mom.
-I'm the one who's being
interrogated here.
I know you, Matias. I know
when you're hiding something.
You do that hair-scratch thing.
-I don't do
a hair-scratch thing.
-You just did. Just now.
And what is this I hear
about soup being last?
Since when does
this family serve soup last?
You see? This is what I'm
talking about. You've been
making rash decisions.
[in Spanish]
You have to try new ideas
to stay young.
That's your problem.
You're so stuck in the past,
you don't realize it.
Being erratic
isn't being inventive.
It's just further proof
that you're losing
your grasp on things.
I am not dead yet, Victoria.
I'm still a very capable person.
-[Cecilia and Matias arguing]
-[speaking Spanish]
[in English]
What are you two doing?
You're acting like children.
You see? This is exactly
why we need to have
the reunion at the house.
This family needs a change.
Perdn?
-Did you know about this?
-No, I just found out now.
-[Victoria] Y las invitaciones?
-[Anselma] Already out.
-They're what?
-I sent e-vites to everybody.
You did this behind my back?
No, I did it in front
of your back.
I told you we were going
to have the dinner at the house.
Oh, no.
You said you were having
a dinner, not the dinner.
Victoria, ya.
I already called Pancho,
and he's on his way
to the house delivering
the rest of the supplies.
And who's going to help you?
[speaking Spanish]
I got people.
[Cecilia] Where are you going?
She's gonna need help
unloading the van.
-Just tell me.
-There's nothing
to tell, Cecilia.
Where are you all going?
Cecilia!
What are you doing?
I'm not leaving you until
you tell me what's going on.
You can come to the dinner
or not! It's your choice!
I couldn't avoid it if I tried!
We live in the same house!
Then stay in your room!
You'd like that!
-Cecilia!
-[Cecilia] I'll call you.
You're gonna leave Mom
all by herself
at the restaurant?
Oh, good. We could use
an extra pair of hands.
I need to know
what's happening, Matias.
-Just go. There's a lot of
responsibility in the kitchen!
-Shut up! I need to concentrate!
-[Matias] No.
-[Cecilia] Matias, tell me.
-[Matias] Just leave me alone.
-[cell phone buzzing]
[Matias] It's just a phone call.
-[buzzing stops]
-[Cecile] You see?
No, it's nothing. It's fine.
Yeah, you did it again.
You did it again.
No one's calling.
Tell me. Come on, tell me.
Tell me what's going on.
It's fine.
Everything is fine, okay?
[cell phone buzzing]
[buzzing stops]
Grandma, can we make
a right here, please?
Why?
We need to stop at the bank.
Of course.
[thud]
-I just need more time.
-Sir.
You've been ignoring our notices
for the past six months.
Your only option is to pay
the entire balance.
There are no other options
at this point. I'm sorry.
How much time do we have?
Well, you received
your final notice
three days ago,
which means you have
two more days before
they schedule the auction.
How could you be
so irresponsible?
I was trying to.
-I'm gonna fix this.
-Cecilia, ya.
Look.
You need to hire a lawyer.
-Thank you.
-Oh, before you go.
Is it possible...?
I know it's not the right time,
but is it possible to get
a picture with you?
My daughter loves your video.
That'll be $586,000.
[pensive music playing]
[sighs]
This is bad.
I'm sorry.
You know what we need?
Some of my pink conchas.
-Don't deflect, Grandma.
-It was just a suggestion.
Things are pretty tense
right now.
How did this happen?
Grandma co-signed
the loan for the Tacomatic,
and we used the restaurant
as collateral.
No. What I meant is why.
Why is it that you thought
it was a good idea
to risk our lives
on your stupid idea?
Don't be rude, Cecilia.
-It was a great idea, mijo.
-Thanks, Grandma.
We're gonna lose
the restaurant, Grandma.
Unless you happen to have
half a million dollars
somewhere.
I was doing it for all of us.
It would've changed our lives.
Oh, that's right.
Matias and his selfless acts.
Doing things for us
and yet never including us.
-It would have worked.
-Ay, stop. Both of you.
-Mom is going to be crushed.
-It is not her restaurant.
It's my restaurant.
I just-- I can't with you two
right now.
[van door closes]
[footsteps rushing away]
I'm gonna fix this.
I know you will, mijo.
I trust you.
[mellow music playing]
-Dinner, Yari.
-[Yari] I'm not hungry.
-I don't care.
-[cell phone buzzing]
Honey.
She's just gonna keep calling.
-[whispering] Oh, God.
-[chuckles]
Hi, Mom.
Yes, I know. I'm sorry.
It was on vibrate.
I got delayed.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Matias hurt his back
helping Grandma.
Oh, no, no, no. He's fine.
Okay. All right, bye.
-How'd Matias hurt his back?
-He didn't.
I just got roped into his chaos.
I'm sorry.
Did you know that Grandma
is having the dinner
at her place this year?
Yeah, I got the e-vite.
I thought you would have
gotten it too.
Well, I didn't.
Oh, okay. I'm sorry.
[Matias clears throat]
Can we talk?
sh**t.
I'll go get Yari.
Are you gonna tell Mom?
Maybe. No, of course not.
But someone has to tell her,
and that someone should be you.
-I can't. You know how she
feels about that place.
-I know.
Last time I was talking
about maybe replacing
the tiles in the bathroom,
and she started tearing up.
Don't even get me started
on the mole.
I'm gonna make this right,
Cecilia. I've got a plan.
Well, maybe it's not the end
of the world if we lose it.
What?
[footsteps approaching]
So is Uncle Deadbeat
joining us for dinner?
Yari, can we have one night
without your attitude?
-I'm just repeating what
you and Mom say.
-Seriously?
-She's just messing with you.
-[Matias] Mm-hm.
I was an annoying
teenager once too.
-He was the worst.
-It takes one to know one.
Inspiring. So are you
joining us for dinner?
Uh, yes. I was gonna not do
the hermit thing in my room
and try something new.
[Jason] Let's do it.
-Pizza. Get in there.
[Yari whooping]
-May I have that one?
-You want that one? Yeah.
Yeah, I know, but come on.
All right, bon apptit.
Napkin.
[Jason] Matias, if you don't
mind, Venmo me $5, yeah?
[Yari] Dad.
[Cecilia chuckles]
[lively music playing]
-I want another baby.
-Stop.
-So let's make a baby.
-No, please, not--
Hi, Mama.
Ah.
-How is my baby boy's back?
-[Cecilia] He took some aspirin,
and he promised he won't
be helping Grandma
with any more lifting, right?
Yes.
Oh. Oh, yeah,
I feel much better.
Good.
But if it's sore
at all tomorrow...
[in Spanish]
[in English] con something CBD.
Her doctor recommended.
CBD?
[in Spanish]
Mom, do you know what CBD is?
[in English]
Yes, it's Chronic Back Drug
or something like that.
-Her doctor recommended it.
-[Jason] Sure.
-I'm sure Grandma has some.
-[Victoria groans]
I don't care about
what that woman uses.
-What are you eating, pizza?
-Mom, don't.
It's Jason's night,
and he chose pizza.
-Yeah.
-Jason, por favor.
No more of this junk.
It's not junk. It's pizza.
It's Italian.
-Hm. Where is Yari?
-Getting ready for bed.
Okay, I'll go up
and say good night.
[in Spanish]
-Thanks, Mom.
-[chuckles]
Night, Mama.
-Did you talk to her?
-You talked to her?
-I thought you wouldn't
talk to her.
-When would I have time
-to talk to her?
-Why wouldn't you talk to her?
No, no, no, you're not
supposed to talk to her.
[Jason] No, she is supposed
to talk to her.
Wait, I don't think you're
supposed to talk to her.
-We agreed.
-What are you talking about?
I'm not telling you
what I'm talking about.
I won't tell you
what I'm talking about.
-I'm not talking about anything.
-No, you are talking
about something.
It's different than
what I'm talking about.
Well, it's probably that
I was gonna talk to...
-You know, you started it.
-I didn't start it.
I just feel like yours
is worse than mine.
Mine's not a big deal.
Mine's definitely not a big
deal. Super low stakes.
-Guys, stop.
-Knowing you, Matias,
that's for sure.
We're talking about
two different things.
-See?
-Oh.
You're just as messy as
your mother was at your age.
Kind of surprised she isn't
more on top of you
to keep this room in order.
Oh, no, she tries.
I'm sure she does.
You should be a little
easier on her, you know.
She works really hard.
No, I know. It's just...
[grunts]
Why does she have to be
so annoying about everything?
Because she wants
the best for you,
and sometimes, that comes out
in a way that neither
one of us enjoys.
[both chuckle]
So...
what is happening at school?
Nothing. It's fine.
That's not what I hear.
When is she gonna find out
about the CBD?
I have no idea.
I'm not gonna tell her.
Nobody's gonna tell her.
She has to find out.
So...
Are you going to
involve me in your plan?
-Are you gonna keep quiet?
-I already said I would. Jeez.
[Jason] I see how it is.
Just leave me to clean up.
That's fine.
Love you, honey.
So?
You're gonna leave me
in suspense?
I'm trying to convince your mom
to let you come work
at the restaurant.
It could be fun,
and I think the responsibility
would be good for you.
It was good for your mom
at your age.
She's worried that
it'll interfere with my grades
-and getting into a good school.
-None of us went to school,
and we're fine.
No, I know, Grandma,
but I wanna go.
Despite my need
to argue with authority,
my grades are there,
and my counselor says
I have a really good shot.
Yari, my father would be
really proud of the person
you're becoming.
I'm so sorry you didn't get
to spend more time with him.
Next time you come
to the restaurant,
I'm gonna make you
his famous churro doughnuts.
[chuckles]
You probably don't remember
him making them for you.
No, I do. I'm pretty sure
they're called crullers.
No, they're called
churro doughnuts.
Grandma, you can get them
at Dunkin'.
-Do not argue with your grandma.
-I'm not.
-I am always right.
-No! [screams]
"Grandma, you are right.
You are right."
-You're right, you're right.
-[laughs]
I am right. I am right.
[both laughing]
Can you cover for me tomorrow?
Just for this setup.
I'll be back for dinner.
What-- What are you planning?
[clears throat] Do you know
who Trevor O'Leary is?
Well, he's gonna be at an event
downtown tomorrow,
some marketing
influencers event.
And since, apparently,
I'm an Internet sensation,
I was thinking
I could get in there
and pitch him the restaurant.
Trevor O'Leary?
The Trevor O'Leary?
Yes.
Well, he's really big, Matias.
It's not gonna be
that easy to get to him.
In fact, I once tried to DM him
about this project
that he has
with hydrogen-based fuels.
He never answered.
Well, it's probably because
he's a big-name person,
and big-name people don't
actually answer their DMs.
-He has, like,
a million followers.
-It was worth a try.
And since when
are you interested in
hydrogen-based fuels?
Since forever.
I had other interests, Matias.
Working at the restaurant
wasn't my dream. You know that.
You should consider
going to school.
Actually, I always wondered
why you didn't go to college.
Are you serious right now?
You always talked about it
like you wanted to go
and you never did.
-I thought it was because
you wanted to start a family.
-Seriously, Matias.
What did I say?
Matias, have you
completely forgotten
what happened around that time?
Cecilia, I was there.
I was there when Dad left.
I could have helped Mom.
Well, you didn't.
You left it up to me.
That is so unfair.
I made it work.
You could have made it work too.
Of course you'd think that way.
You don't know--
You know,
I don't even know why I try.
Cecilia.
Look, I'll cover
for you tomorrow.
But if you open
your eyes a bit more
and you took your head
out of your a*s,
you'd see how things
really are in this family.
Things have been
messed up for a long time.
-Long before--
-Cecilia, I'm going to fix this.
[grunts]
[tender music playing]
[woman singing in Spanish]
Qu diablos?
Did I hear the door? Matias?
-Oh!
-Oh! I'm so sorry.
Who are you?
And what are those flowers for?
Uh, they're for the party.
-What party?
-Anselma's.
Are we related?
-I'm sorry?
-Excuse me. I'm sorry.
What are you doing in my house?
-Isn't this Anselma's house?
-Yes, but-- No. I live here too.
-Oh. I--
-Oh, flowers.
-You can put them anywhere
in the kitchen. Good morning.
-Hi.
-Have you seen Cecilia?
-Where is the kitchen?
Down the hall and to the left.
What? Matias, why are you...?
No, excuse me.
-Oh.
-Oh. Pardon me.
Put that box on the buffet table
in the backyard.
[man] Okay, got it.
Good, you're up.
Were you hoping I wouldn't be?
Uh, you forgot something.
Huh? Oh.
-Who are all these people?
-They're my people.
I told you, I got people.
Yes, but who are they?
Uh--
Is that the soup
we're supposedly ending with
instead of starting?
Victoria, would you go
to my room
and get the reposado
from under my bed, hm?
Sebastian will be here soon.
Did you know that your brother
is now a mushroom forager?
Can you believe it?
He can get it himself.
And we are not ending
with that soup.
[singing in Spanish]
Mama.
[vocalizing]
Matias!
Cecilia, hey.
I gotta go.
Are those the tamales?
Yes, yes.
Mom arrived in my kitchen
at 5 this morning
to prepare them
since, apparently, that woman
wouldn't let her touch
anything in their kitchen.
Okay, that sucks.
I'll be back for dinner.
You still good covering?
Yes, I got it, but can you
actually be back by dinner?
You're not always
the most on-time person.
Yes. Yes, I promise.
Oh, and make sure
you keep Mom busy.
Grandma's paying everyone
with pink conchas.
Oh, okay.
-Wish me luck.
-What about me?
You'll be fine.
I don't understand
why you're being that way.
-You're not listening.
-What are you talking about?
-Since when do we end with soup?
-Agh!
[Victoria] Cecilia's here.
Let's see what she thinks.
Cecilia, your grandmother
wants to end with a soup
instead of how we traditionally
end our meals with tamales.
I am... I'm just dropping
los tamales off.
See? She agrees with me.
We end with tamales.
[groans]
Where is Matias?
He's, uh, running an errand.
But Yaretzi and Jason
will be over in a bit to help.
Hm.
Mom, you have a...
[groans]
If we didn't have
all these strangers
running around the house,
I'd be able to finish
getting ready.
Mark my words. We'll all
be m*rder*d by sundown.
And I'm the irrational one!
Ha. Dios nos salve. [exhales]
[lively music playing]
[woman vocalizing]
-Buenos das, Mama.
-Ay. Ay, Sebastian.
You're here. Ay.
Ta-da! [laughs]
[in Spanish]
Of course I did.
Those are the porcinis
that I told you about.
The ones that I foraged
with my own hands
-in the Italian Alps.
-Mm.
They smell wonderful, mijo.
Thank you.
Mira, don't tell your sister,
but I'm using a meatless
pozole recipe this year,
made with chickpeas
and mushrooms.
-Ven. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]
We're so happy to have you here.
Here you go. Here's your badge.
[speaks indistinctly]
Yes, and I see you have
100,000 followers.
That's great.
Make sure you check out
the seminar on 3B
about increasing your presence.
Mm-hm.
Hi. Name?
Um, actually, I think
there was some oversight.
My name was not on the list.
Matias Sepulveda.
If your name is not on
the list, then there's really
nothing I can do.
Oh, but you see,
I'm a social media influencer.
I don't have all the followers,
but I do have a viral video
that went viral.
[chuckles nervously]
I have influenced society
on so many levels.
So I am
a social media influencer,
and therefore, I should be
let into the social media
influencer event.
Okay, well, do you have
sponsorship?
No.
I don't see how you expect me
to let you in this event
if you're not on the list.
Wait a minute.
Aren't you the...? [chuckles]
Yes, actually, the one and only.
You can let me in now.
I mean,
all these people in here,
they either have some sort of
social media presence
or they have 100,000 followers.
Your situation
is somewhat different.
But I could make an exception...
if you say it.
Oh, I didn't actually say it.
It was a text on the video.
Oh, same, I'd like to hear it.
I prefer not to.
I'm sure you're busy.
All right, I don't
have time for this. Next.
Um, uh, I pico'd my pants.
I think you can do
better than that.
I pico'd my pants.
-Come on.
-I pico'd my pants.
-[clears throat]
-Uh-huh.
I pico'd my pants
I pico'd my pants.
I pico'd my pants
Pico'd
I pico'd my pants
I pico'd my pants
Perfect. Okay, got it.
I'm satisfied. Here you go.
Thank you.
[lively music playing]
All right.
-I've got two more for you.
-Ooh. Those look good.
-Not bad, huh?
-Thank you, mijo.
[Victoria] Mmm. [clears throat]
Hmm. [chuckles]
I see she's put you all to work.
[Anselma] I don't know what you
plan on doing with that apron,
but you are not cooking
in my kitchen for my dinner.
Hm. Do you mean the dinner
that you stole from me
that was supposed to be
at the restaurant
like it normally is?
No, no, no. You're not taking
money from my daughter.
Side bets are not allowed
in this family.
-We'll stick to drinking games.
-Oh, that.
Victoria, it's over.
The dinner is underway.
And besides, did you see the
mushrooms your brother brought?
-All the way from Italy? Hm?
-Mm. Of course he did.
Nice of you to join us,
Sebastian.
Nice to see you too, sis.
Hey, did you hear?
Vegan pozole.
I bet they wouldn't
serve that at the restaurant.
[in Spanish]
What? I'm not being mean.
You know what?
I'm gonna set up the chafing
dishes for Dad's tamales
that we will be ending with.
[Jason] There it is.
[all laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
[upbeat music playing]
Excuse me, miss.
Excuse me, I--
Beautiful.
Thank you so much
for your hard work.
I put a few extra
for the others.
-[woman gasps]
-[chuckles]
Ooh. Thank you.
She's a good worker
but not all there.
[sighs]
[woman 1]
Did you follow that new micro...
Excuse me, do you know
where the Sunshine Room is?
-Sunshine Room?
-[woman 2] Which filter?
We should experiment
with different formats.
Video, carousel ads,
you name it.
Excuse me, do you know where
I could find Trevor O'Leary?
[both laugh]
-Matias?
-[woman 1] Did you see that
drama on Twitter last night?
-Let's grab a selfie later.
-Matias?
One sec.
Matias, are you avoiding me?
Uh, no, no.
I just didn't see you.
What are you doing here? I...
would never have imagined seeing
you here in a million years.
Um, I'm here
with Trevor O'Leary.
You work for him?
I thought you worked
at some private equity firm.
Um, I'm with Trevor.
Oh.
-Oh, right.
-Yeah. Um...
It's-- It's been a while.
-Yeah.
-Anyway, uh, how's
your family doing?
-Are you in town
for the reunion dinner?
-Yeah.
You know, Grandma still sends me
newsletters every year.
Um, I'm sorry
to hear about Grandpa.
I thought about stopping by
the dinner to pay my respects,
but I thought
it'd be awkward because
we haven't chatted, so...
You are more than welcome
to come to the family dinner.
Uh, my family still talks
about you all the time.
It's a little weird
that my grandma's
sending you newsletters,
but I guess that's okay.
It's a good thing. [chuckles]
Yeah. Well...
Um, well,
it was good to see you.
-Um, I gotta go.
-Hey, Hanz.
I have a favor to ask.
[lively music playing]
-[Jason] One drink for you
-[laughs]
Congratulations to you.
Enjoy that one.
-And not a moment too soon.
-[Jason] Bon apptit.
Salud.
I still don't understand
why you hide tequila
under the bed, Am.
Ah, it's very secure.
That way I always know
where my valuables are.
Good thing to know
for when I die.
-Ay, Am.
-Why do you have to be
so morbid?
Excuse me, am I talking to you?
You're lucky I'm sharing
my kitchen with you.
-Ha.
-Ha.
Cecilia, where is Matias?
[Cecilia stammering]
I'm just refilling my drink.
I think someone is out there.
Actually, let me see.
Damn it, Matias.
[Victoria] Cecilia?
Cecilia?
Where are you?
Okay, I got you ten minutes.
He has a meeting across town
in less than an hour,
but he just finished
that seminar,
so he's in a good mood.
-Do you think this is
a good idea?
-Trust me.
-He'll make time
for an old friend of mine.
-"Old friend"? That's what I am?
To him, you are.
Thank you.
I definitely owe you
my left kidney.
-Oh, no. Keep your organs.
-[chuckling] Okay.
Maybe just set aside some
of Grandma's pink conchas.
I want some of my friends
to try them out.
Wait right here.
[cell phone buzzing]
[buzzing stops]
Sebastian, get another bottle of
tequila from under my bed, mijo.
-Hi. I brought dessert.
-Hi!
Ah!
-Hola, mi lola.
-[in Spanish]
Mm.
[chuckles]
Now, would you put the dessert
on the table outside?
-Uh-huh.
-I'll be serving dinner
in a minute.
-Okay.
-And, uh, oh, Omar.
This new company
that he's working for,
I swear, they sent him home.
-What?
-Can I go?
Kasey, would you like
to say hello to your family
before you run off with Yari?
-Hi.
-Mira, cat eyes.
You've grown.
It's good to see you, mija.
Now, I know you're eager
to talk to your cousin, so go.
Go, go, go.
-[Kasey] Hi.
-Hi.
Hey, I missed you.
Victoria, why don't you make
yourself useful
and show Ximena
where the dessert table is.
Everything here
is under control.
-Hey, hey, hey.
-[Ximena] Hi.
You want some help
with this stuff?
-Yes, please.
-You got dessert?
Apparently,
there's a table outside.
-You get that one.
-Let's get out of this kitchen.
We can talk outside.
Anyways, okay,
I have something to tell you.
I brought something
that's gonna solve
all our problems.
I don't know, Kasey. Your ideas
aren't always the best.
Seriously, Yari, it's gonna
be fine. You're gonna love it.
Let's go. Come on.
-Ah. Uh-uh-uh. You're
always sneaking something.
-What?
You're not getting dessert
before dinner. Go outside.
There's plenty to set up.
-Go, go, go.
-[groans] Fine.
-[Jason] Yari, let's go.
-[Anselma] Here, mija,
take this with you.
And go. They need your help.
Hurry.
-Okay.
-Come on. We're gonna eat soon.
Sebastian, did you bring
another...
[Trevor] Let's get this together
for next time.
I think that went really well.
Trevor, this is my old friend,
Matias Sepulveda,
the one I was telling you about.
Matias. Yes, you're the guy
with the funny grandmother.
-She's quite the character.
-That she is.
Um, I actually wanted
to talk to you about that.
Oh.
Um, our family has owned
a restaurant for over 50 years.
I know you're an angel
investor who cares
about small businesses,
so I was hoping I could
talk to you about--
Do you have a pitch deck?
I'm sure the investment team
would love to hear about it.
I gotta be across town
in about an hour.
Trevor, you can spare
a few minutes.
-Talk fast.
-Thank you.
[whimsical music playing]
-What did you plot this time?
-Yari. Oh, my gosh.
It was so much easier
than I thought
it was gonna be.
I thought we were
gonna have to do some kind
of mission impossible scenario.
-What did you do?
-Nothing. Not really.
I mean,
Great-Grandma actually did it.
Yes, and?
Okay, so I may or may not
have brought some shrooms over
that I took from my dad's stash
before he headed out.
And they may or may not have
been added to the soup
in hopes of our family
tripping ba*ls and realizing
how stupid their fighting is.
-Great, right?
-We are so screwed.
Oh, it's gonna be so good.
-Where's your mom?
-She's not even gonna notice.
Shut up.
[Victoria] No, mija.
They say age is a number,
but tell that to my feet.
[both laugh]
I hope you got
some insoles in those.
-Ay, por Dios, my bunion.
-[laughs]
-Set it there.
-Oh, that's hot.
Entonces...
[in Spanish]
[in English] We're making do.
-Ximena.
-Sebastian.
Ah, I love the new nose.
I'm glad you finally
got that taken care of
after the pool incident of '98.
It's called contouring, b*tch.
Sebastian, I think I saw
some mushrooms
in the front yard.
Would you go get them?
But hurry, they might be rare.
[laughing]
Jealousy is not
a good look on you, sis.
[Ximena] Don't worry about him.
-[whooshes]
-[chuckles]
I am a little more concerned
about what's going on over here.
What are these two up to?
-Ay, they're just being girls.
-Hmm.
Oh, hey.
[in Spanish]
-Nothing.
-Nothing.
Hmm. Well, don't just stand
there. Take these to the table.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Wait.
-What?
-I don't know how we're
gonna get away with this.
-It's gonna be fine.
I tried it on my dad's family
last Christmas.
Everyone just thought
it was food poisoning.
But let's just say I've never
heard my Aunt Patricia
talk so openly about
her sexual preferences.
Ew.
Now, whether they wanted it
to be out or not,
it's all out in the open.
-[sighs]
-Yari...
Okay, but just in case,
I say we video it all
and then hold the footage
for ransom.
I love your ideas. Yes.
Let's do it.
[both chuckle]
[Victoria] Any day now
with those dishes.
-Okay, sorry. Sorry.
-Oh.
I'm gonna stop you.
I really need to get going,
but it was a pleasure
meeting you, Matias.
Pleasure was all mine,
Mr. O'Leary.
-Trevor, please.
-Trevor.
[chuckles]
So, uh, when will I find out?
I'll have someone
reach out on Monday.
-Great.
-Okay.
-H?
-Yeah?
Look, I get that guy's
your old friend
or whatever, and...
Don't spring that stuff on me
ever again, okay?
I get it.
He seems well-intentioned.
I feel for him. I do.
He seems like a nice guy.
Maybe his restaurant's not
a horror show. I don't care.
I know who that guy is.
He's a...
He's a joke. He's toxic.
No one's gonna touch him
with a 10-foot pole.
No one is gonna go
near that guy, especially me.
-Got it.
-Let's go.
Let's go.
[sighs]
[laughs]
Sorry.
Uh, I just wanted to thank you.
No problem.
I think that went really well.
I'm going to tell everyone.
Um...
Maybe hold off on that
until Monday.
Oh, right, right.
Just... I'm just excited.
So, uh, you joining us
for dinner?
Oh, you bet.
Hey, how many
of Grandma's pink conchas
do you think
I could walk away with?
You would make a k*lling if you
invested in a brick and mortar.
You should tell that to my mom.
-I'll work on her.
-Done.
[lively music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[woman vocalizing]
I'm already full.
-Oh, I'm gonna k*ll him.
-He'll be here, hopefully.
-Where is he?
-He's coming.
-He's gonna be on his way.
-You've been
saying that for hours.
-Give me your phone.
-Mom, please.
Mama, it's fine. He's gonna
be here in a little bit.
-You were gonna start
without me?
-Ay!
-[Matias] I brought company.
-[Hanz] Is it okay if I crash?
Hola, Hanz. Oh.
You're not crashing
if you have an invitation.
[whispering]
Did everything go okay?
-It's good to see you, mijo.
-Nice.
Now, when are you two gonna
get back together again?
He just got here, Grandma.
Remember my sister?
-Hi.
-Good to see you.
-[Yari] Hey.
-Hey.
Sebastian, hijo mo,
why don't you get
a place setting for our guest?
-[Matias] Remember Hanz?
-[Victoria] Yari.
Good to see you.
[Matias] There we go.
There we go.
-I got it.
-Hey, you're back.
He got an invitation. Awkward.
And you are cut off.
-Hanz.
-I missed you.
No, it's like a handshake.
I'll teach you.
[Hanz] Good to see you.
Hanz. Good to see you. Welcome.
[music stops]
Now that we are all here,
I want to...
Yes, now that we are all here.
-Thank you all for coming--
-I'd like to thank you all
for com--
Oh, Lord.
[both] Welcome to
the Sepulveda family dinner!
-What did I miss?
-You're gonna need this.
Please, Victoria,
you have something to say.
[scoffs]
Don't do me any favors.
I'm not. I'm giving you
what you want.
This is your dinner, right?
I only started the tradition
50 years ago.
-No, no, no.
-It is mine.
Look, I know you had
to take care of Dad,
but someone
had to keep up the traditions.
Victoria, I didn't mean
to take this away from you.
Please.
I appreciate you saying that.
[sighs]
I just want to say
thank you for coming.
We may not all be together,
but hopefully one day soon
we will all gather again
like we have in the past,
large family dinner
at the restaurant.
My father was an amazing man.
I miss him so much.
But his legacy is still here.
-We can taste it in his mole...
-Ha.
...and see him
in the people around us.
So let's raise a glass
in remembrance.
You still hold him
on a pedestal.
He got the mole recipe
from a bag of dried chilis
that we bought in
a grocery store in Oaxaca.
And on that note, let's eat.
-[all] Yes.
- Perdn?
Yeah. Mom, let's eat.
Victoria, thank you.
That was a lovely speech.
Now, if you will all save room
at the end of the meal
for the final course,
it's a bit untraditional.
We are finishing
with a suggestion
from my beautiful
granddaughter, Cecilia.
It is a vegan pozole.
[gasps]
Salud!
[Jason] There we go. Thank you.
[upbeat music playing]
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
[woman singing in Spanish]
[chuckles]
[speaking Spanish]
[chattering]
-Is everything okay?
-Yeah, it's fine.
-It's good.
-Mm.
Yeah, it's juice. Margarita.
Don't. You do it, I swear to...
I swear to God.
I gave up meat.
It's a new thing.
I'm loving the drinks, though.
[Jason] What do you mean,
"you know"?
-Uh, let me get you something.
-No, no. It's okay.
Oh, my God.
[in Spanish]
[in English] Is he all right?
-Ah. Vegetarian. Ah.
-Yeah.
Don't bring me any.
Don't bring a bowl over here.
-Put it on that side.
-Whatever, man. I hate you.
Finally, yes.
[sighs] Thank goodness. I was
waiting for somebody to dig in.
I am dying to try my porcinis.
[Matias]
Here, let me get you some.
So, you and Hanz, huh?
Getting back together?
No, he's... He's moved on.
I'm just saying, you know.
So then why the hell
you bring him
to family dinner?
See what you've done
to that man?
Excited about mushroom soup.
He has nothing else.
-There's nothing else going on.
-Absolutely.
I would drive a porcini car.
[Anselma and Sebastian chuckle]
-[Sebastian] Call it a porcini.
-There you go.
Por... A porcini.
-[Anselma] Ay, mijo.
-[Hanz] Thank you.
[chattering]
I feel like this might be
a bad idea, though.
No, it's fine.
You're always so worried.
-[Yari] No.
-[Kasey] Just watch. Just watch.
Sit.
[Kasey laughs]
Mm.
Oh, Am.
-It's really good.
-[Sebastian] It's good, right?
Ah, qu bueno. Qu bueno.
I think it's a hit.
-You picked these yourself?
-[Sebastian] Oh, yeah.
[woman continues singing
in Spanish]
[Anselma] He really liked it.
He really liked it.
It's really good.
Dude, they're finishing it all.
They're drinking a lot of it.
[Yari] Oh, my God.
[sighs]
This sopa is so good.
Seriously, Victoria,
you should really consider
having it be a premier dish
at the restaurant.
-Don't let him bait you.
-[Sebastian] You really want
this restaurant
to, like, move up in the world
of culinary arts?
Hey.
[laughing]
-Are you dying over there?
-We're fine. She's good.
She swallowed wrong.
She's good.
-Yeah.
-Are you okay?
You seem like
you're both choking.
-No. She's good.
-I'm fine. I'm okay.
-She choked.
-[Jason] You both choked?
[Yari] Yes.
-[Kasey] It's... [chuckles]
I'm good.
[Victoria clears throat]
Grandma's such
a great cook, huh?
I know, I know.
I'm quickly being reminded.
You'd make a k*lling
if you invested in her.
I mean, the cannabis field
is heating up right now.
Oh, you mean
grandma's farming.
Her green thumb.
Uh, yeah, totally.
I don't know anything
about green thumbs.
But you think I don't know
what your grandmother
has been up to?
Pink conchas? [scoffs]
First my father, and now she's
handing them out to strangers.
I may have been a little harsh
saying that they were poison,
but not by much.
You know, I don't know
when you started thinking
that you were
so much better than us.
Your superiority complex
has no place here.
Dad was high all the time.
How do you think
I got him to eat?
I think now is the time
for Dad's mole tamales.
His authentic mole.
I think you're right.
Now is the perfect time
for the soup.
[Anselma speaking Spanish]
-Cecilia, Cecilia.
-[Victoria] Matias.
-Oh, what are we gonna do?
-ndale. ndale.
Why does everyone all of
a sudden care about the soup?
[Jason] No idea.
Veganism is trendy, right?
It's a thing now?
Kasey, this is a bad idea.
You need to stop.
Well, it's too late for that.
[Kasey] Yari!
Matias, can we not
start serving, please?
No! We're serving the soup.
Matias, take those tamales
into the house.
We are not serving those.
-We're serving the soup.
-You're ruining the plan.
-[Anselma] No one
is serving tamales.
-Maybe we can serve both.
-You know, that's actually--
-What's your problem?
You can still serve
the soup last. You're getting--
I said we're serving
the soup first.
You are being irrational!
[silverware clanging]
They were dirty.
Thank you, Yaretzi.
Someone had to act.
Matias, please, start serving.
No. No one
is serving the tamales.
You just won't let me have this.
No. Give me that.
-Stop it.
-Take it.
[yells, then gasps]
Oh!
But you are not
serving this soup.
No, no, we need to serve the
soup. We need to serve the soup.
-Let go.
-I'm helping.
-[Kasey] Stop it, Grandma!
-[Yari] Stop!
No!
[pot clanging]
So is that a no
on the soup and tamales?
[Jason] I just want one.
[Kasey] Yari!
You are all so cute.
-You shouldn't be fighting.
-[clattering]
Whoa, you should be hugging.
Hanz?
Is he okay?
Are you all right?
No. Everything's fine.
I think I'm just so sad
that everyone is so angry.
It's all my fault.
I should have
said something earlier.
Nothing is your fault.
No, but it is yours.
Oh, thank you.
Someone finally understands.
-What?
-I have to tell you something.
-It's bad for you.
-[Cecilia] Bad?
Uh, he... He's just drunk.
No. I'm not drunk.
I can s-- I can see.
I'm not drunk. I can see it all.
The past, no?
No, no. Mattie, it's...
It's not your fault.
Trevor is an a*s.
He has a nice a*s.
Hey, Hanz,
maybe I should take you home.
-[Cecilia] Trevor O'Leary?
-Yeah, he saw your video.
He saw your life go... poof!
Mattie's pico de gallo machine,
pico dispense.
-And Trevor was right.
-I think I need
to take you home.
No! I have to tell you.
Oh, my God, Matias,
don't tell me he's saying
what I think he's saying.
-Matias?
-[Hanz] He's not investing.
He's not giving you any money.
Nobody will.
I mean, you're too risky.
Are you radioactive?
I mean,
you do look a little green.
Um... I... Wait, wait,
what do you mean?
I thought he wasn't--
I thought he loved the idea.
He said no. He said no.
I'm so sorry
about the restaurant.
Is he talking
about our restaurant?
-It's nothing, Victoria.
-It definitely is something.
-Matias?
-Cecilia.
I don't feel good.
-[Ximena] Are you okay?
[Hanz meowing]
[burps]
-Oh!
-[Cecilia] Oh, my God.
-[Ximena] Oh, my God.
[Cecilia] Go inside. Go inside.
[Ximena] Oh, my God. Oh, God.
Do you think it was the soup?
They were the only two
that had the soup.
Hanz? Hey, do you want
to come inside?
Let me get you inside.
[Hanz continues meowing]
[Anselma] Soup? No.
Maybe?
I've never cooked
with mushrooms before.
Ay.
I'm a cat.
Hey, come inside.
Come on, come on.
-Hey. Come on.
-Mama.
Sebastian can't feel his face.
Should we call an ambulance?
No, no, mija.
Here, take Hanz into the house.
He has the same symptoms.
-[Matias] What kind
of mushrooms?
-What is happening?
-[Anselma] Go ahead, mijo.
-I can't feel my tongue.
We'll figure this out.
-It's weird because it's there,
but it's not.
-Come on. Come on.
Qu desastre.
None of this would be happening
if Dad was still alive.
We can pretty much just say
that dinner is ruined.
Is anyone going to say anything?
Matias?
Cecilia, I'm going to go
check on Hanz.
You always do this.
When it really matters,
you run and avoid everyone
and everything.
Us, this family, Hanz.
Every time.
Cecilia, people aren't
feeling well right now.
-I think that takes precedence.
-Family takes precedence.
-Someone better start talking.
-Maybe now is not the time.
That's just fine.
Leave me to pick up the pieces.
If you're not going to
say anything--
[Matias] Cecilia, please.
-Mom, you need to know that--
-[Victoria] Enough.
Matias?
-Matias, what?
-Mom, I...
-I don't know how to say this.
-Out with it.
-Mind your own business.
-My own business?
Please, stop it.
Okay, I'm sorry.
We're going to
lose the restaurant.
I messed up.
And I'm going to fix it.
I wanted to make you
proud. I wanted to
make all of us proud.
I wanted to
make Grandfather proud.
I ruined it. I'm sorry.
I took a loan
against the restaurant
to pay for the Tacomatic.
I don't understand.
The bank is going to
foreclose the restaurant.
We are going to lose
the restaurant.
[Cecilia] Mom.
[Victoria]
You all knew about this?
How could you do this?
And once again, behind my back?
Ay, Victoria.
Don't be so dramatic.
I signed the papers
because it's my restaurant
to do with what I see fit.
-Your restaurant?
-Yes.
In name, maybe.
But I'm the one
who's been keeping it afloat
all these years.
-You did this on purpose.
-On purpose?
Mom, no one
wanted this to happen.
Ever since Dad got sick,
you wanted to sell it.
Y t, Cecilia,
you practically begged me,
begged me to let her sell it.
Well, today you got your wish.
How did this become my fault?
Don't blame her, Victoria.
I'm not blaming her.
I blame all of you.
Will you just stop?
Matias lost us the restaurant.
Matias. How many times
do I have to say it?
Everything I did, I sacrificed
for you and the restaurant.
What do you want from me?
I want you to
live your life for yourself.
And to realize that
your father wasn't perfect.
And just because
I choose to continue my life
different from the one I had
when your father was alive,
doesn't mean I didn't love him.
I just need to move on.
We all need to move on.
Move on, move on,
but leave me out of it.
Mom, stop it.
This is getting turned around.
Just keep talking
and never listen to each other.
Why is no one acknowledging
what Matias did?
He's the one who lost us
the restaurant. He did.
Cecilia, I'm going to fix this,
but don't make this
about your decisions.
-My decisions?
-Yes, your decisions.
You're the one that
did not want to go to school.
No one stopped you.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
You haven't even been here.
I have always been here.
You ran away the second
you got out of school,
and you've been
avoiding us ever since.
You take what you want from us,
and you never stayed
for the aftermath.
Cecilia, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you're very unhappy,
but it is not my fault.
I'm sorry that
you did not go to school.
[Victoria] Matias.
Do you even know
what it's like to take a risk?
-To make sacrifices?
-[Anselma] Matias!
I have that job because
you couldn't be bothered enough
to stick around
and help with it.
Someone had to step up,
and it has always been me.
No one has asked you to do that.
Why does everyone keep saying
that my choices are my own?
It hasn't been easy for me.
It hasn't been easy
seeing my younger brother
get to leave
and go off to school.
No obligations,
no responsibilities, nothing.
But if I try to do that,
I'm considered a bad mother,
or a bad daughter,
selfish, thoughtless.
That's bullshit. You know
that's bullshit. You've had
every choice I have had.
-Victoria, this is your fault.
-My fault?
Your stubbornness has
pushed the children away.
Stubbornness? You're the one
that's never given me
one ounce of push.
-And I am so...
-...the restaurant. No!
Stop it!
You keep talking,
talking, talking, talking,
and never listen to each other.
Not to me, not to anyone, ever.
I've been trying
to get you to listen to me.
For years.
You both have sacrificed
your life and your choices
for this family.
And of course, if I dare
to ask for something new,
I get shut down immediately.
[Victoria] That's not true.
Mom, you're the one that told me
that I would never make it.
[voice breaking] And that
I already had a husband.
And a house.
And a job.
And that I was needed at home.
No, I don't want this
to be my life.
None of us should.
Mom, is that true?
Cecilia, I...
[in Spanish]
-Sebastian, what are you doing?
-I need water.
No. No, come back!
Do we get a butterfly net?
A box? What the...?
Um, the girls just told me that,
Anselma, you accidentally
put a bag of my husband's
medicinal mushrooms
into the soup.
[Matias] What mushrooms?
My husband's
medicinal mushrooms.
I just literally said it.
And this is why we don't
put mushrooms into pozole.
I think that's why--
I think you're right.
Well, thinking I'm right
is something.
[Anselma]
What type of mushrooms?
Again, is no one
listening to me?
My husband's
medicinal mushrooms!
Whoa. Ay, Dios mo!
Vamos. Vamos.
[Anselma]
It's my fault. It is my fault.
[melancholy music playing]
[woman vocalizing]
Matias, get two shot glasses.
-Ximena, help me.
-Okay.
Can you just move the drops?
[Cecilia] How is Sebastian?
Oh, they're both okay.
Amanda took Hanz
up to Matias's room.
Yaretzi's keeping an eye on him,
and we managed
to wrangle Sebastian
into your mother's bathroom.
You guys,
should we call an ambulance?
-[all] No.
-[Anselma] No ambulance.
[Cecilia] How is Yaretzi?
She was apologetic,
which is new.
Well, that's something.
No phone for a week?
-Oh, God, no.
-What is that?
Beladona extract
and activated charcoal.
-Ugh.
-Here, give this
to Sebastian and Hanz.
-It smells terrible.
-Well, then mix it with tequila.
Just be sure they drink it.
Go, go.
Where are you going?
I'm not leaving.
I'm just gonna go check on Hanz.
Honey, why don't we help Amanda,
you know, wrangle the butterfly
before it flutters away again?
[mellow music playing]
[sighs]
Mama?
[both laughing]
[speaking Spanish]
[in English] Come here.
[sighs]
What are we going to do, Am?
Ay, mija.
There's only one thing
left to do.
Clean up.
You don't got people for that?
[both chuckle]
I got you.
Thanks, Yari.
I'll take it from here.
Okay.
Yeah, he just passed out.
And unfortunately, I wasn't able
to get a striptease
on camera, so...
[stammers] What?
[chuckles]
Relax. No, everything's fine.
[Yari clears throat]
I guess I'll take it from here.
You can go to bed.
Okay.
Uncle Matias?
Yeah?
What are you going to do now?
Like, what happens next?
Um... I have no idea.
For the first time ever,
I have no idea.
But we'll figure it out.
Well, whatever
you decide to do, I just--
I hope you stick around.
I don't know.
With you here, it just...
It feels more like family.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I think I do.
Good. So don't be a d*ck
and run away. [chuckles]
As long as
I'm no longer Uncle Deadbeat.
You never were.
-Good night.
-Good night.
[pensive music playing]
[exhales]
I got it.
[sighs]
Thank you.
I don't got it.
You think
we'll be here all night?
-Probably.
-[chuckles]
I just want you to know
that I didn't realize...
[voice breaking] I thought
you had it all figured out.
Matias, no one has it
all figured out.
I'm not going anywhere, Cecilia.
I'm here, okay?
[Cecilia] Thank you.
[sobbing]
I appreciate it.
[both chuckling]
Here, I'll give you this one.
[Cecilia grunts]
Oh, what a mess.
I know, right?
So Mom's your responsibility
from now on?
[chuckles] Yeah. No.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Of course.
So environmental engineering...
[upbeat music playing]
[indistinct arguing]
Who is your supervisor?
Who do you report to?
How can you be so heartless?
The world doesn't need
another Chipotle.
I already told you both,
everything must stay
where it is.
We keep telling you,
these are heirlooms.
They've been in the family
for generations.
-Hey, wait, what?
-Look at me when I talk to you.
What a nice mustache you have,
young man.
Look at me when I talk to you.
Ay.
Why would you do this
to an old lady?
-I didn't.
-Ay! Ay!
Oh, my God! Call an ambulance!
Ambulancia!
Ambulancia! Ambulancia!
[upbeat music continues]
Come on, come on.
Ma.
Go, go, go!
Go! Go!
