02x07 - Always Something There to Remind Me

[bunniefuu]

Last night, one of our staff members

leaked information about a guest

to Espectacular magazine.

It's Máximo

who will be helping me.

He's my most trusted employee

since Don Pablo quit.

So tell me what you know.

I don't It wasn't

Please don't fire me. It wasn't me.

I don't know anything!

I didn't even know

you could sell information!

How much do they pay? Hypothetically.

It wasn't us.

We refuse to talk to the press.

And we will continue to refuse

until they return our calls.

Wait, who's singing right now?

Please don't tell Madonna I was crying.

She'd be so disappointed.

You're doing it all wrong.

The art of interrogation is about making

the penalty for lying,

worse than the penalty

for telling the truth.

Where are your devices of persuasion?

They should be visible.

Don't you know anything?

I know who the mole is.

And I can't believe

our friend would do this to us.

It's Memo.

ACAPULCO

It's good to see you.

Thank you, Memo.

How are you feeling

about the memorial service tomorrow?

Sad that I have to say goodbye

to Don Pablo,

nervous that I have to say hello

to everyone else.

Yeah. Some people won't be thrilled

to see you.

Good thing you brought your nephew here

as a body shield.

That's the same joke I made.

Even funnier the second time.

Right?

So, I was about to tell Hugo

about the night of Chad and Julia's

Bachelor parties.

That was a crazy night.

So cool

more stories from a hundred years ago.

Memito. Don't make fun.

Why don't you get a job?

When I was your age, I'd already

worked in the laundry room

and at the pool and I was

about to get the chance to

Hey. No spoilers.

Not that Hugo understood a word.

Hey.

Yeah. Go ahead.

As I was saying, Chad had his reasons

for suspecting Memo.

HOLLYWOOD PARTY FOOTAGE

Fabián must have gotten the information

between his two live reports

at 6:00 and at 7:00.

So I was looking through

our videographer's footage,

when I saw this.

Fabián and Memo together.

Boom. Cracked the case. Brilliant, right?

I'm like that m*rder, She Wrote woman but,

like, a lot younger and almost as hot.

I'm sorry, Máximo.

I know he's your friend,

but I think Chad's right.

We should make sure.

We don't want to fire Memo and then

find out the real mole is still around.

That's a good point.

And we are hanging out with Memo tonight.

I could take charge

and get him to confess.

Okay.

Take tonight to see what you can find out.

But otherwise,

first thing tomorrow morning,

we're firing Memo.

Can I be the one that does it?

I haven't got to fire anybody

since that gardener. Please. Please.

That's a big boy job. You know that.

I had one night

to clear my best friend's name.

And it was the night

of Chad and Julia's bachelor parties.

Okay, let's review the game plan.

First, group dinner at Isabel's,

then I'm playing cards with the boys,

and my mom gave you girls the big suite.

Cool, right?

Yeah. I'm mostly excited about dinner.

People we know, no strangers, no weirdos.

Oh, my God, Chad.

Kelli.

Yes, duh. Who else?

Kelli, this is

This is my fiancée, Julia.

Hi.

Julia,

Kelli is an an an old friend from LA.

Old friend? Is that what you call a girl

you dated for two years?

So, why

Okay, I was at this little retreat

up the coast, and I thought to myself,

"Kelli, you have to see Chad

while you're here.

I mean, how far can Acapulco really be?"

Turns out it was a six-hour taxi ride.

I mean, who knew Mexico was really big?

Yeah, that surprised me too.

What a discovery you made.

I had the best time

because Kyle and I have been so busy

we don't have time to meditate.

It was a week-long silent retreat.

Can you imagine me

at a silent retreat for a week?

I can't.

I have a massage in five minutes.

Are you two free tonight? We can catch up.

We We actually

We'd love to See, we have

this big dinner thing that we sh

Yeah

That sounds great.

I can't wait to come.

And I can tell that you and I

are cosmic sisters.

We're gonna talk so much tonight.

Yes.

Yes.

Well, one of us will at least.

I am so sorry.

I was gently trying to tell her,

"No, we're not free tonight."

And I think that my no was so gentle

that it just just came out like a yes.

Do you mind?

I mean, she's nutty but that's it.

No, of course I don't mind.

Of course I mind!

Why is she even here?

I trust Chad, but I don't trust her.

Sara.

Can you help me keep her away

from Chad tonight?

Of course!

Maybe Máximo and Isabel can help, too.

Thanks.

Hey, and

how are those two?

Well

They are always together,

holding hands,

laughing, kissing

It's disgusting.

Ooh, I love that bracelet.

You can have it.

I found it when I was at the resort.

Consider it my rent.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Thanks!

Beautiful.

Meanwhile,

Esteban's mother was having dinner

with my mom for the first time.

Is that the shirt

you're wearing to dinner?

Yes, Mom. We're already at dinner.

Can you please just try to support me?

I'm sorry

I just thought

this dinner was important to you.

Mom! It is.

I'm really trying to impress Nora.

Try to not be so negative about me

tonight?

Of course, sweetie.

I want this to work out, too.

Thanks mom.

Especially since she's way

too good for you.

And because

you're getting old.

I'll get it!

Oh, I forgot to tell you: a friend

is stopping by for a quick visit.

It's the one and only Don Pablo Bonilla!

Don Pablo?

Yes. Do you know each other?

He doesn't know me.

But I know him.

Look. Catch!

No, no, no.

Stay away

Now there is a man

who you should be more like.

Who makes his mother proud.

He's handsome, responsible,

Yeah, yeah, mom.

Respected.

And helping to run Las Colinas!

So much more elegant than the bus depot.

I bet he doesn't come home

smelling like gasoline.

He smells like

elegance!

Not today Don Pablo.

Not today.

Don't hunch so much,

you look like a camel.

Look how straight Don Pablo stands.

Nora.

It's not my intention

to interrupt your dinner,

but I'm leaving tomorrow for Mexico City.

I just want to thank you one more time

for bringing my son back into my life.

They're beautiful, thank you.

Flowers! What a sweet gesture!

It's a shame you can't stay to eat,

because it's a small gathering.

Thanks.

Don Pablo, please stay for dinner!

I'd love to.

I'll help you!

Great.

It was finally time

for Chad and Julia's big dinner.

It was also my last chance

to convince Chad

that Memo was not a mole

for Espectacular magazine.

And here's the big couple!

Hey.

Chad, nice to see you.

You look so nice.

Welcome, guys.

How have you been?

How's living with Julia?

It's the best!

She lets me eat candy, watch TV

and checks my homework

and turns the lights out at eight

and makes me brush my teeth

six times a day.

I'm glad you're all right.

I guess you're not coming

home anytime soon.

Not until Mom accepts who I am.

Plus, now I get to go out

and party with all of you!

Exactly! Super!

So great!

Please, do not let her drink.

I got this.

Hey, so, my ex-girlfriend

Kelli sort of invited herself here.

Do you mind keeping her away from Julia?

I can just tell that she doesn't wanna

deal with her tonight.

You got it.

Lifesaver.

Okay, "hermigo,"

tonight we got some work to do, all right?

If Memo did leak information to Expac

Ex-spatula

Espectacular.

That's where I was headed.

Okay, that means

he has a lot more money now.

And he's too smart

to just be flaunting it, okay?

So we have to look very carefully

for the tiniest signs of wealth,

the slightest hint of prosperity.

Hey, everybody. Look at my fancy new suit.

Ooh, Memo!

Looking sharp, buddy.

Thank you.

You won't believe how much I paid for this

when I bought it.

I didn't buy it!

My cousin just died.

I got all his clothes!

New to town?

I'd be happy to show you

all the hot spots.

My bedroom district, for example

I'm married.

I won't tell him if you don't.

You're bad.

Nah, I am the best you'll ever have.

Hey!

Chicos, who is ready to get crazy, hey?

I am, I am.

Flaquito, next round's on me!

I just found some cash in the pocket!

And so the night began.

Chad was trying to prove

that Memo was the mole.

I was trying to get Chad off Memo's scent.

Sara was trying to keep Kelli away

from Chad.

Isabel was trying to keep Kelli away

from Julia.

Héctor was trying to seduce Kelli.

And Memo just seemed intent

on digging his own grave.

Okay, my cosmic sister, spill it.

When did you know that Chad was the one?

Well, I

Because for me and Kyle,

it was, like, instant fireworks.

Oh, my God, you would love Kyle so much.

And he and I are totally different too.

Like, he's from Encino,

I'm from Santa Monica,

and we love each other. So

Kelli, Chad really wants to talk to you.

I'll tell Chad about Kyle.

Wait

Isa, no.

Hey, boys.

Hey, let's all order some food, right?

Sure, yeah, great idea.

Does anybody wanna get the mole?

Mole?

What?

Memo?

You mean mole.

You know what?

It's your day, your party.

I'll use your pronunciation.

I love mole. Mole, mole, mole. That's me.

Sometimes I have so much mole,

you can call me Mr. Mole.

That guy's a funny one.

This guy's a funny one.

Oh, my God. We just said the same thing

at the same time.

It's like you can read my mind.

I can. I'm a thirdlevel empath.

Wow.

I know.

What is empath?

Okay, so, Chad,

now, we are mixing metals here, honey.

You can't do gold and silver

on the same arm.

Really?

Sara.

Bring Kelli back here!

Move it!

Now, back then, your mom's English

was a lot like your Spanish, no bueno.

All she could remember were the sentences

she'd had to learn for English class.

Hi.

Hi.

What is your name?

Kelli. What's your name?

I have a yellow pencil.

I don't know how to respond to that.

Come over here.

Okay, okay. Okay.

I'm so popular.

So, Memo,

you confess to mole-like activities?

Guilty as charged.

"Guilty as charged."

So do you meditate too,

or is that more Chad's thing?

It's not really either of our thing.

Really? That's weird.

I mean, back when we were together,

he was so into it.

I mean, it was as much part of him

as being a vegetarian.

They got the best steak here.

Will you excuse me for a second?

Yeah. I'll come too.

Okay. That was fun.

No, Sara.

Memo. Memo.

So tasty, the fat and the gristle.

I need to talk to you.

Hey.

How come I've never heard

about this whole meditation thing?

You tell me. I mean,

it's been around for a thousand years.

That's not what I meant, baby.

Máximo, next round's on you.

Stop bringing attention to yourself.

What are you talking about?

Don't freak out.

I won't freak out.

Diane and Chad think you're the

secret agent from Espectacular.

What?! No!

I AM FREAKING OUT!

Máximo.

Oh my God, I called myself "Mr. Mole"!

They're gonna fire me!

What will I do for money?

I'll have to sell this suit,

these shoes,

maybe even my body

Calm down. I know you're not the mole.

I'm going to help you out

in front of Chad.

When I ask why they

saw you with Fabián Solares,

just tell the truth:

He came up to you, but you didn't

want anything to do with him.

Okay.

He came up to me, but I didn't

want anything to do with him.

Easy.

Easy.

Okay.

Oh, no, Máximo.

I'm so nervous.

Breathe.

Okay.

Don't worry, babe.

The meditation thing was just a phase.

Like when I went brunette.

Which I w I will also tell you about,

but tonight, let's just have fun, okay?

Okay. I'll be right back.

Hey.

What?

Who is that girl?

That's Kelli Chad's ex.

Chad?

Damn. Not sure if I

can do that to him again.

Do what to who again?

Nothing! Don't worry.

I've already decided to do it again.

So here's our plan.

You ask Kelli how she is,

then whatever she answers, you say,

"That reminds me,

the most impressive

thing about Héctor's anatomy is his"

Héctor I'm not doing any of that.

Please, Julia. Help me help you

Help me.

I need a win tonight.

And that win's name is Katy.

Kelli.

And that win's name is Kelli.

You got this.

I got this.

Memo, did we see you

with Fabián Solares last night?

Well, the thing that I honestly

about last night

is the thing that I truly believe

is the yes.

And, you know, sometimes I just go

and I do things that I don't really mean,

but they happen.

And it's okay. It's okay, you know?

Because that is life.

That's what life is all about.

Life is about going and taking chances

and making mistakes,

but you don't really mean

to make those mistakes.

And I always do the right thing,

which is doing what's best for the hotel,

which I never don't do.

And And that's innocence. Yeah.

Memo, big spender.

How'd I do? Did I convince him?

Oh, you convinced him.

I'm getting serious vibes

from one of the boys over there.

So weird. I'm married. I'm happily

married. Already told him that.

I'm really, really happily married.

Like, really, really happily married.

Maybe I should tell him I'm really

happily married, just to be safe.

Oh, no, no, no.

My cat is on the bed.

I really wish I knew what you meant.

Do you want a drink?

Which way is the library?

Yes!

Wait, Máximo. Are you sure that Sara would

want you to tell him about this next part?

Good point.

Hugo, after having trouble

talking all night,

your mom and Kelli found the one thing

they could bond over.

Orange juice!

Come on.

I know what they were really drinking.

Look, I'm telling the story

and I'm saying it was orange juice.

and I told him,

"I don't care what country

elected you president

In our pool, no one swims naked."

Well said.

Something similar happened to me

but instead of a president

it was a drunk guy,

and instead of a pool

it was at the bus depot.

Again with the bus depot.

You know, my son didn't

always want to be a mechanic.

He used to want to be a luchador.

Well, mom I'm sure no one is interested.

Every little boy wants to be a

luchador when they grow up.

Oh, sure, but this was when he was 28.

He called himself

"The Avenging Squirrel!"

Mom! Can I talk to you?

Of course you can.

What about?

Excuse us.

You must be excited for your vacation.

Tell Víctor I said hello.

It's not a vacation.

I'm moving there.

You're leaving Acapulco?

It's time for me to be

with my family more.

All the arguments we've had in the past

they all seem small now.

I don't want to waste any more time

away from my son and grandchild.

Family is what's most important.

Thank you for helping me remember that.

I am very glad.

Sorry. I just had to have a

quick talk with my mom.

Don Pablo, I wish my son

were more like you.

He's too sensitive!

Mom, can we talk again!

Now, what is this about?

Back at the restaurant,

Sara and Kelli kept pounding orange juice.

Everyone else kept partying.

And I told Isabel everything

about my troubles with Espectacular.

They might fire Memo for something I did.

And now I'm not sure how to fix all this.

I feel terrible.

I hate who I'm becoming

because of the hotel.

Sorry for dumping this on you.

Normally, I go to Don Pablo

for advice, but he quit.

Well

Maybe, Don Pablo still has the answer.

How?

Resign from Las Colinas.

If you don't like who you

are becoming there,

come work here.

Everything would be easier.

Isabel was right.

If I quit Las Colinas,

it would solve all my problems.

Hugo, in that moment,

I saw my future

there at the restaurant with Isabel.

Isabel had given me

the solution that I'd been looking for,

but

could I do it?

I don't know.

I wish the universe would show me a sign.

Signs don't exist, Máximo.

There's this way and that way.

The universe doesn't give

a damn which one you pick.

I'll tell Flaquito to bring out the cake.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

And I didn't even notice.

I didn't even notice

my hair was stuck in the door!

Can I use the telephone?

I know, I know.

And that was the last time I ever took

that vitamin supplement.

Let's go to the post office.

Yes, so true.

Wow, you two hit it off, huh?

Yeah, this is so fun.

I never have fun like this.

Sara. Sara.

Have you been drinking?

Yes.

Yes.

Just a little orange juice

mixed with apple juice.

Ooh, and a shot of cranberry juice

That stuff is strong!

Oh my God.

I'm not happy in my marriage.

All right, Memo. Enough is enough.

Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth.

Were you the one selling secrets

to Expat Expark

Espectacular?

So it was you!

No, no. I swear it wasn't me.

I don't know any secrets.

I bet.

And if I did,

I would keep them to myself.

I have a lot of secrets that I keep.

Lupe doesn't know how to swim.

Beto was a teen pop star.

Diane had an affair with

What?

Affair? With who?

We're just not connected.

But I thought Kyle was the one.

Yeah, the one who sucks.

There are so many things

he didn't tell me about him,

and there's nothing worse

than marrying someone

and then finding out who they are.

I mean, if you have any doubt,

do not get married.

Have you been drinking juice?

You're too young to drink fruit!

Don't tell Máximo.

I'm confused.

Did I say affair? I meant to say affair.

Wait, that's the same word.

Yeah.

Look, Chad.

Your mom's affair was not serious.

In fact, it was meaningless.

It was with nobody, and it meant nothing.

Nobody and nothing. Nothing and no

It was with me!

And it meant everything.

You son of a b*tch.

No, no. Please! Stop! Stop.

Héctor, to make it even,

maybe Chad should sleep with your mom.

Ha!

What?!

Wait, no. That's a bad idea.

We're supposed to be soul mates

and I don't even know him.

Don't I deserve someone

who's thoughtful and charming?

Hugo,

I had thrown that bracelet into the ocean,

but somehow the universe brought it back.

I can't believe you had sex with my mom.

No, I swear, Chad. We never had sex.

We made love.

I'll be right back.

Máximo.

Are you okay?

Where did you get that bracelet?

Your sister found it in the pool.

It's lovely.

I love what's written inside it.

"Happiness is this."

How do you know?

It's Virginia Woolf.

"He could not tell her he loved her.

He held her hand.

Happiness is this, he thought."

I bought it for you.

Good night.

Mom, I'm going to help Nora clean up.

You go ahead, I'll see you at home.

I'd be happy to walk you home.

I'm being walked home

by Don Pablo Bonilla?

I wish I lived farther away!

Have a good trip.

Thank you!

I'm sorry about my mom.

Esteban.

I know your mom can be

tough on you.

But you've become exactly the

honest, hardworking, handsome man

she always wanted you to be.

You mean that?

I'm asking because

it's not too late

You're an incredible woman.

You could easily find yourself

a successful man like Don Pablo.

And why do I want a successful man?

If I already have

The Avenging Squirrel!

What have I done? I have a husband.

That's nothing.

I have a long-distance girlfriend.

I am a horrible wife.

You're not.

Really, you don't think so?

No, what are you doing? You are horrible.

I want to go home now.

Okay. I'll take you to Julia's.

No, to my

Right, to Julia's.

Punch me as hard and as much as you want.

No one can hurt me like your mother did.

Hold on, she hurt you?

So much.

If only she understood

the pain she made me suffer.

So you really can't get over

what she did to you, huh?

You wish you could

get back at her somehow?

Don't worry, buddy.

Your suffering will be over soon enough.

I would have been

such a good father to you.

I bought that bracelet for

you last year, after we kissed.

But when you got engaged,

I threw it into the ocean.

Why didn't you tell me how you felt?!

I tried to talk to you after New Year's,

but, it was like

you didn't even care about us.

I've always cared.

But you said yes to Chad.

I had to forget my feelings,

our kiss

I should have forgotten. But I couldn't.

We said it never happened.

Of course it happened!

It happened and I can never

forget that moment.

I can't either.

Everything all right?

Yes. Yeah, just catching up.

Guys, this is crazy,

but do we call it a night?

Yeah.

Yes.

Wait a minute. That moment with Julia

happened right outside the restaurant.

And we were outside the restaurant

when you asked Joe to check

if the mystery person was home.

Was it? Who can remember?

Yes!

The person you're avoiding

isn't Isabel, it's Julia.

That's the person

you're thinking of seeing.

I think it's time

for your uncle to tell you about

I said no spoilers.

Okay.

Is Is that

This bracelet was the universe showing me

the sign that I'd been looking for.

Because of it, Julia and I

confessed our feelings for each other.

But what could we do?

Bye.

Meanwhile,

Chad was now more certain than ever

that he had also found

who he was looking for.

Dude, what the heck was this party?

All right, Memo. You're off the hook.

I know who the real mole is.

It's so obvious.

He had time and a motive.

It has to be Héctor.

Chad, I have to admit

that makes a lot of sense.
