01x09 - Channel 1 Goes Silent

[bunniefuu]

-[Javier grunting] I'm starving.
-[Malena mutters]

[Malena] Should I order something?
Careful.

[Javier pants]

-Huh?
-[Marcos] I don't get it.

You threw everything in the car.
Purse, backpack, everywhere.

-Marcos, you said "no suitcases."
-[Javier muttering]

-So there.
-[Javier] Okay.

My battery's dying. Call you later.

-Do you want me to order a pizza?
-[Marcos] Pizza?

No. No, I want to take a shower.

I want to wash this shitty trip off.

Javi, can you help?

Close the door! For fu... [groans]

Everything's going to sh*t.

Good morning.

Hey, good morning.

[mutters]

[Marcos sighs]

I think I'm done.

[Marcos] Huh?

I think I'm done.

What's wrong?
Can you tell me what's wrong now?

I want to separate, Marcos.

CHANNEL 1 OPEN

[knocks]

-Are you calling Javi?
-Yes.

-Just start the car. I'll call him.
-[engine starts]

-He's not answering.
-His battery must have died.

He'll charge it.
I don't know if he took his charger.

I don't know. I don't get it.

Didn't you realize?

No, of course I didn't realize.
I thought my keys had been stolen.

Who'd think he'd do something like this?

-This is a nightmare.
-How did he sound when you spoke to him?

No, I said that the call cut off.

-But was he hurt or banged up?
-I don't know.

Was he crying?

I don't know.
I told you that the call cut off.

Was he crying?

Don't make me more nervous, Marcos.
I don't know.

[sighs]

-[Clara] Done.
-I get what you're saying.

Perfect.
Use that card to pay for the others.

Toni, same. Whatever they ask,
keep making progress with the set-up.

-Tell them "yes," and I'll fix it later.
-Got it.

I'll set things up for the card.

-Just tell me what happened.
-This morning she got authorization,

and this afternoon,
she cashed out and emptied the account.

Can you tell me what happened?
What did she do?

-Do you really want to know?
-Yes.

She took more than we had thought.

The job completion payments,

-the deposit for the wedding...
-Marcucchi-Brigante.

I could have expected anything from Cali.
Not this.

I need to speak to Malena.

I have to tell her. This is serious.
She needs to file a complaint.

With the police?

No, let's hold off on that for a bit.

She's got this mess, she's driving,
she's got the mess with Javi.

Aguas Verdes.
What the hell is he doing in Aguas Verdes?

[Malena] You tell me.

-Excuse me?
-What did you say to him?

You think that he did this
because of something I said?

Now it's my fault, right?

[mutters]

Well, he must be scared. I don't know.

He's alone in some godforsaken place.

I know it wasn't your fault.

It's because of a lot of things.

[Marcos] Yeah.

[Arturo] A loan might be possible.
I have to submit some paperwork.

-They seemed willing enough.
-Okay.

I'll start on that,
but it won't be right away.

[Toni] Excuse me. Why don't you call Andy?

No. He's in the hospital.
We can't burden him with this.

Isn't he a partner?

[Clara] Yes. I don't know.

No, my sister would k*ll us.

[equipment beeping]

-[Andy] Check.
-[Ray] Andy, are you all better?

-Hi.
-[Andy] I'm better. Hi.

We need to talk.

Uh... I'll give Imara a call.

Yes, please.

Well, uh...

We won't go into detail
because it's too sad and maddening.

Cali took all the agency's money and left.

In the middle of the preview
for PlasticLess.

[sighs]

Well... [clears throat]

I can transfer some funds, to start.

I can't believe we're in this mess.

[laughs] What can't you believe?
You can't believe Cali would do this?

Poor thing. You took away all his space.

-You turned his house into an agency.
-Oh, you're starting that again.

Should I feel guilty
because I need to work? Please.

Shall we talk about you?

Let's talk about you,
about the trip, and your stubbornness.

-Javier is not an economist.
-[clicks tongue]

-You only see what you want to see.
-[scoffs]

You see what you want to see.
Don't you realize?

He realizes that you started an agency
to stick it to me.

-To compete.
-[groans]

-To squeeze me in the ba*ls.
-Everything I do is to bother you.

-Yes, to compete with me.
-No, Marcos. No.

You can't believe that I did what I did
and that it's actually going well for me.

-[scoffs]
-But things aren't easy for me, you know?

They don't drop into my lap

so we can have these shitty conversations
every time I see you.

-You always treated me like an employee.
-Huh?

-You let me go like an employee.
-[scoffs]

-Let's say what we have to say.
-So ungrateful.

Don't tell me that. You know
that I did everything for this family.

All right? You had your dream life.
You never lacked anything.

-No?
-No.

Did you ever ask me?

Careful.

[brakes squeal]

[Malena] sh*t!

[shouts]

[exclaims, exhales]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[Ray] Attention, please. Let's focus.
The presentation is on.

We have to keep setting up
to check everything.

The deejay and catering
for the wedding in Rosario fell through.

-Toni, can you please handle that?
-Yes.

We have a lot of plates in the air.

I spoke to my dad.
He can lend us money, but he's pissed.

I also thought about taking out a loan.

-The bank offered it.
-It's no use scraping pennies together.

Let's wait for the loan,

or cover expenses
with the Carmelo wedding deposit

that was in the other account.
She couldn't touch that.

Ray, are there any urgent needs
that I don't know about?

-No.
-Sorry, but I think this is urgent.

"Jeremías Durán Castro,
the teenage activist,

asked to arrive two days before
the PlasticLess event

and spend time with the organizers."

He arrives tomorrow
and says that he doesn't like hotels.

Who is this kid?

-[Ray] Let's see.
-What should I tell him?

Does anyone know where Javi is?

[birds chirping]

[sighs]

Male, you've no idea
how much I suffered since you left.

It blindsided me.

It k*lled me.

It's the first time you're telling me.

It's the first time I'm telling myself.

I'm sorry it happened like that.

We also couldn't keep going as we were.

Without love, without...

Without love?

That's the car. There it is.

-The car, isn't it?
-Oh, yes.

[brakes squeal]

-[kisses]
-[Javier sobbing]

[kisses]

[sobbing continues]

Calm down, champ. Calm down.

[sobbing continues]

A pothole.

Honestly, I don't know.
I don't have a spare tire.

[Javier] I wasn't even going fast.
f*cking pothole.

[Malena] f*cking pothole.

I wouldn't know,
but I'll send you the location.

[Malena sighs]

This is all really hard on me, Mom.

I know, honey.

I know. It's a lot.

I also got lost a little, but I'm here.

You know that, right?

I don't know what I want to do. [groans]

[exhales sharply] I have an idea,

everyone's busy,
and I don't even know where to go.

I've asked myself those same questions.

And not just at your age.

I asked them last year
and the year before.

And every year before that,

and I'll keep asking next year...
[chuckles] ...because that's life, Javi.

-It's good to ask yourself questions.
-[Marcos] Settled.

Dad was really scared, too.

-Really?
-Yes.

I talked to the towing company,
and everything's arranged, okay?

-Don't worry. They'll be here soon.
-[Malena] Okay.

-I think they'll take a little while.
-[Malena] Mmm.

-Now we need to wait.
-We'll wait.

-Don't worry.
-Dad, I think I don't want to travel.

[birds chirping]

We have time to talk about it, okay?

I can't.

I'm a little hungry.

Me too. [chuckles]

I have some sandwiches.

-Some... No.
-[Javier] Sandwiches.

-Seriously?
-[Malena] Really?

You may not believe it.
Yours has no tomato.

Very good. No tomato, bud.

-And this one...
-[Malena] No, not that one.

-[laughs] Let's see.
-[Javier] This one's yours.

-[Marcos] What's this?
-Great.

[laughs]

-You said no tomato, right?
-Give it to me. Put it here.

[Marcos] Thank you for thinking of me.

-"No tomato for Dad."
-[Javier] Seriously.

-I thought I hadn't put it in.
-[Marcos] Maybe.

-[Javier] I thought I hadn't put it in.
-[Malena] Liar...

[Hugo] I have two color proposals.

-It could be this one, or...
-[Malena] Mm-hmm.

-...I like this one, the one we're trying.
-Perfect.

The stage, speaker and people
will be here.

-Impeccable. Let's do that.
-[Hugo] Great.

-Work out the details with Sole.
-Okay.

-I'll handle it, Male.
-Thank you very much.

-[cell phone beeps]
-Ray, is the rehearsal confirmed?

Don't forget we still need the sound.

Have them make a security copy
and let me know.

Has our friend Jeremías
come out of the tent?

What do I do with the supports?
Leave them?

[Andy] Whatever you want. I'm a bit lost.

-Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm okay.

What are you doing here? You're crazy.

[laughs]

-Hi.
-Hi.

[sighs] Here I am. They discharged me.

A little slow, but still working.

I wouldn't leave you high and dry
with this mess.

Don't even mention it.
How are you feeling?

Good. Good.

-Iván told me that Hugo Kranz is here.
-Mm-hmm.

-You got him, huh?
-Hugo Kranz is inside with Sole.

And out here, we put contrast lighting
on the structure, as you wanted.

-Now I can leave you alone.
-Never again.

-Of course.
-No. [chuckles]

I'll show you what we've put together,
and then we have to go to the agency.

-Okay.
-We have a new team member.

-Yeah?
-Jeremías.

-Jeremías...
-You'll love him.

-I'm glad to be back.
-[chuckles]

[Javier] Ready?

[Malena] As soon as we met,
the first thing he said was,

"I need to feel like I'm with family.
I don't want a TV or anything.

In fact, with this huge garden,

the only thing I need is a tent."

Can you believe
he didn't ask for anything?

Javi doesn't feel invaded? More invaded?

On the contrary.

He said that he would handle Jeremías,
and I'm good with that.

In fact, I'm taking it
as a personal challenge.

Not getting involved.
Letting him do everything.

It'll be fine.

[Javier, Jeremías chattering]

Moving on.

Are we going to talk about Cali,
or act as though nothing happened?

It's not necessary.
I don't want you involved in tough issues.

You just had surgery.
What do you want me to say?

Yes, she shat all over me.

Cali will come back.

She'll put on her Cali act.

Of course, she'll apologize,

maybe bring a gift,
and things will go on as before.

Not everyone chooses to do what she did.

I would never even think
of doing something like that.

So, I wonder,
will she come back to the agency?

And I'm going to walk away. [chuckles]

I don't want to go on like this. No.

No, Malena. No, no, no.

-No.
-I understand.

Let's focus right now because
tomorrow will be a big day. Okay?

[mumbles]

[phone vibrates]

[Marcos] Hi, Male, how are you?
What happened the other day was a shock.

Honestly, it brought up a lot of things
for me,

and I'd like to get together with you
to talk.

Have a coffee.

I hope you're doing well.
Okay. Let me know.

[Jeremías] Yeah, it's a little crooked.

-[Javier] Can I help you set it up?
-[Jeremías] Yeah.

Can you help me?

[grunts] Yeah, thanks.

Weather forecast
Today - Tomorrow

[gasps] Oh, no.

-[wind howling]
-[Malena grunts]

-[rattling]
-Oh, no.

-[Ray] Come inside, Male.
-What?

Come inside.

-I'll carry it.
-[Malena] Ah.

-Just leave it.
-[Ray] That's it.

-Watch your step.
-Let's go.

[Ray mutters]

[Malena] Everything's ruined.

-Ugh.
-[Ray] Madonna.

[thunder rumbling]

[sighs]

-I hope it doesn't rain.
-Who knows?

[thunder continues]

[Ray] This is just perfect, huh?

Perfect.

I'm almost afraid.

-You know what we deserve, Carregal?
-Hmm?

-Let's do whiskey shots.
-[laughs] I love you. You're amazing, Ray.

[liquid splashing]

[thunder continues]

Uh, Male, look.
There's only heavy wind in the forecast.

We start setting up at 9:00,
and it should die down afterward.

-I hope so.
-Well, enough work. That's it.

Go to bed, Sole. I'll give you a ride.

-[Sole] Bed? You go to bed.
-Yeah.

I'm going to have a beer with my friends.
I deserve it.

Ciao. [kisses]

-Ray, are you leaving?
-Yes.

I have to tell you something.

Jeremías hasn't answered my calls,
and he's roving around the city.

-Roving around the city?
-Yeah, for his stories.

I saw him at a bar. I think he's at a bar.
I don't know if I should go after him.

Mmm... he knows that tomorrow is a big day,

so he must be exploring
what life has to offer outside that tent.

-Right? That's it.
-[Ray] Yes.

Do you want me to go with you?

-Mmm... no, no.
-[Malena] No.

-No, I can go by myself.
-Of course.

-Perfect, honey. Perfect.
-I think I know where he is.

-[Javier] I'll handle it, okay?
-He can do it. He can.

-What's happening?
-What do you mean?

Carregal delegating?

Well... [laughs]

Ah, no. [laughs]

-[Ray] This is huge.
-[laughs]

-I love you, buddy. [laughs]
-This is really huge.

Congratulations.

[laughs]

[rock music playing]

[music continues]

[music fades out]

[birds chirping]

Javi?

[Javier, on phone] Don't leave a message
because I don't listen to them.

Javier?

[sighs] Ugh.

[clicks tongue] Javi, are you downstairs?

-[sighs] Ugh.
-[cell phone beeps]

Tell me what's happening, Javier.
Can you call me?

I don't know if you slept here,
if you didn't sleep here, if... No.

No...

-[cell phone beeps]
-Hi, honey. I hope you're okay.

Can you call me?
Are you with Jeremías? Love you.

[Ray, on phone] They called me
from the location. There's a big problem.

[Ray] Where are the boys?

The farm guys
you brought in the afternoon?

The other day.

I'll pay their cab fare.

-I'll pay their cab fare.
-[Sole] Okay.

-It's destroyed.
-Just what we needed.

-Hugo says he's not coming to fix it.
-[Malena] No?

Okay, so we need to rethink this.

-Any ideas?
-I dunno. Let me think.

If we can't fix it,
we have to make it work.

[Andy] So we'll make the accident work.

-There was no accident.
-There was no accident.

-Okay then.
-Okay.

Iván, can you give me a hand?
We're clearing the leaves.

Big branches on one side,
smaller ones on the other.

-It will be easier later.
-[Clara] Andy.

[Malena] Okay.

-Ready to work.
-Great.

-Everything looks great.
-Huh?

Yeah, it does.

-The guys are over there, by Sole. See?
-Oh, yeah.

-Ask her if you need anything.
-Okay, thanks.

He needed constraint.
Someone to find him and rein him in.

Ah, constraint. Constraint. Hmm.

-And partying, I'd say.
-[laughs] A little.

Thank you, honey.

-Have you eaten?
-Of course.

You didn't eat.
Grab something from catering. I know you.

[Javier scoffs]

Arturo, talk to me.

No, they won't work without a deposit. No.

Take money from the wedding.
We'll work it out later.

There's something important
I need to tell you.

Call the real estate agent,
because I want to sell the house.

I want to sell my house.
Have them send an appraiser.

Why else? That's it.

[Andy] Are we ready?

Cali's here.

Yes.

Just say the word,
and I'll send her back to Europe.

Mm-mmm.

This looks incredible.

Yeah, incredible.

[Jeremías, through PA]
At this rate, by 2050 there will be

nearly 12 billion tons of plastic waste
littering the entire ocean...

I swear, I can't believe it.

I hope nothing bad happens,

because she knows
that she can't just show up here now.

Cali embodies the most disturbing things
you could imagine.

Yeah. I'm just glad she's alive.

I'd be happy
if she returned all the money.

She must have had a reason
for doing what she did.

[Jeremías] ...screaming for help.

Clara, look.

[Jeremías]
We're PlasticLess. A desperate scream.

Malenush.

What are you doing here?

I'm leaving.

-Good idea.
-Malena.

I thought about calling you, writing,

to explain, but I didn't...

I wanted to face the consequences,
even though I'm dying of shame.

I'm sorry, Male.

You're sorry?

-Sorry.
-Sorry.

You know how hard this was for me.

All of it.

To believe again, to trust again.

After Marcos shat all over me
in the divorce.

You saw me. You were there.

You know how hard I worked for this.

Me and everyone else,
because this isn't just mine.

I'll pay all the money back.

Oh, you think this is just about money?

You could have asked me for it.
No, it's not about money.

When it comes to Lisandro, I...

I wanted to help him.

And you thought that was the way to do it.

Protecting a harmful relationship
by ruining everything else.

-No.
-I didn't want to do it.

I know.

But you did it.

I'd better leave.

Yes.

[Cali sniffles]

You know everything will be okay, right?

[Malena] Yes.

[Malena sniffles]

-Shall we begin? [clears throat]
-Let's begin.

Channel 1, open.

Open the doors.

Let the guests in.

[guests chattering]
