01x10 - A Matter of Dance or Death

Post by bunniefuu »

What'd you say was the name

of the dude who sent you this song?

- Kaboom. He says he's giving it to us.

- No one knows who he is?

[Miguel] The plumber says

the pipes need to be fully replaced.

There's no more budget.

"I am writing regarding your search

for benefactors!

"We would be delighted

to meet with you"…

Oh, my gosh, today.

Boy, oh, boy, our first big donation!

Have you all been talking

behind my back about it?

PREVIOUSLY ON

[in Spanish] There had to be another way

My mom confirmed it to me ♪

What did she confirm? ♪

She wanted to fill the fridge

So she risked everything ♪

[in English] What did they tell you

about my mom?

- That she's in jail, right?

- Hey, Yago, I just wanted to help,

- that's all.

- I don't need your help!

- Welcome to Move You!

- [upbeat pop music playing]

[host] As you know, only ten

of the 20 groups will advance

to the semi-final.

And only the best dancer in the final

will win a scholarship with Erika Gruber.

We're gonna win Move You.

And you are getting that scholarship.

That scholarship is going to my brother.

I'm making a docuseries on Move You!

Less than an hour before they jump

on the stage, but Yago is still missing.

- He won't let us down, you guys.

- Well, right now, he's not here.

- Give me his costume.

- [Inés] Will she be able

to convince him to come?

Can they make it to the stage?

Coming up we will see the resolution

of all this in

"The Mirrors participate in Move You!"

- [cell phone chirps]

- [whimsical instrumental music playing]

THE MIRRORS

- Do we just start?

- You have to wait until I say "Action."

- [cell phone chimes]

- Action!

We're super nervous because there's a lot

at stake with the competition.

Especially for you. There's a scholarship.

[exhales] And of course, a big problem.

- [indistinct chatter]

- [tense instrumental music playing]

[groans]

20 THE MIRRORS

We did all this work to get here…

and we might not even perform.

Of course we're performing.

What are we? The bosses!

[whimsical instrumental music playing]

- [cell phone chimes]

- Cut there!

Let's repeat it but, um,

this time with crying, okay?

To make it more emotional.

- [both sigh]

- [cell phone chimes]

Hmm. Fine, maybe,

the first take will work.

AYLA AND THE MIRRORS

[theme music concludes]

[female automated voice, in English]

In ten meters,

turn left at the next intersection

- and continue until you reach the park.

- It has to be close.

[whimsical instrumental music playing]

No way. [sighs softly]

There's no chairlift?

[sighs]

- [music concludes]

- [sighs]

I did three of these sweet t-shirts

in all sizes because I might get taller.

I'm such a super fan of the Mirrors.

I'm the best fan!

I know all their shows and auditions,

I know all of their choreos,

and the songs they pick.

It's like no fans, no group,

and they're simply honored

to have my support.

- Come on, guys! Whoo! Let's do it!

- [crowd cheering]

Come on, come on, come on

Fifteen's up now.

Should we reconsider the lift or…

Guys, let's brainstorm. Up top!

[upbeat electronic music

playing in distance]

I think the solution

is that Kako lifts Sofía.

- [laughs]

- Mm-hmm.

I sure I can lift her up easily.

I'm down to try it.

Let's go. Come on, Kako! [cheers]

It was weird, their lack of trust.

I'm not that weak.

[upbeat dance song playing]

[in English]

Now, it's time to believe in yourself ♪

Now, it's time to believe in yourself ♪

Now, it's time to believe in yourself

Now, it's time to believe in yourself ♪

Now, it's time to believe in yourself

Now, it's time to believe in yourself ♪

Now, it's time to believe in yourself

Believe in yourself, believe in yourself ♪

- [music concludes]

- I failed.

[both groan]

- [all gasp]

- [whimsical instrumental music playing]

Sofía is pure fiber,

and… and muscles of steel.

Mm. [laughs] And yours are non-existent.

- [music concludes]

- What now? Any ideas?

We have a plan B.

Okay, Kako. You gotta tighten up your core

and really grab me.

Sami.

One, two and three.

- [Paola] Oh, wow!

- [laughs]

- [uplifting instrumental music playing]

- [all applauding]

[laughs]

If Yago never arrives,

Sami and Julia to the rescue.

[whimsical instrumental music playing]

[both laugh]

- [music concludes]

- [Ayla sighs, pants]

[birds chirping]

[soft instrumental music playing]

[Ayla pants]

Your favorite place

had to be all the way up here, huh?

What are you doing here?

- I got you some pickles.

- I'm not hungry, but thank you.

You can go now.

I'm not leaving without you.

You have a performance

with your friends to do.

Everybody's waiting for you

so we can start.

I thought that a friend doesn't gossip.

Come on, Yago.

I know we don't know each other well

and that you don't really like me.

But please, you have to believe me.

The Mirrors weren't saying anything

about you.

Oh, no? In that case,

what bought you out here?

[scoffs] Well, okay…

they did tell me about this…

but not your mother.

Ah, no? How'd you find out about it?

I overheard Nieves

and Sandra talking about it.

Yes, I eavesdropped,

and yes, I was nosy, that's not great.

Be furious at me, not the others.

[music concludes]

The Mirrors will go on stage

in just a matter of minutes at Move You.

Their leader is talking to the organizers

to sub in a Miss Julia Segura.

Time's almost up for Ayla,

and then will the organizers accept

the substitute dancer?

I don't have you on the list.

You can't even be in here.

And there you go.

Julia Segura can't be in here.

We wanna sign her up immediately.

She knows all our choreo

and she's always with us. She's a Mirror.

Okay, but I'll need authorization

from either a teacher or a parent.

Are they here?

Sofía, may I use your phone?

[cell phone chimes]

[blows raspberries]

- [whimsical instrumental music playing]

- I'm not sure that this is even legal.

- Can you show me your ID?

- An ID? Of course, I can.

An ID…

- It's at the house still.

- Dad, you're the police!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Oh, I know.

Can I show you my badge?

It's all good. It's all good.

I will take down the info.

Last name and first.

Julia… Segura.

Um, Hernández. Uh, Ju…

Julia Segura Hernández, in total.

[uplifting soft rock music playing]

[cell phone chimes]

The Mirrors have now cleared

yet another terrible obstacle

- and will participate in Move You!

- That's impossible.

- [cell phone chimes]

- [music concludes]

According to the competition rules,

substitutions must be cleared

with at least 24 hours' notice.

[upbeat instrumental music playing]

She's right, ladies.

- Please, just make this one exception.

- I don't make the rules, I'm sorry.

You follow rules

even if you don't like 'em, right?

My hands are tied, ladies. I'm sorry.

[music concludes]

How many groups are there before our turn?

Uh, three.

The group before your team is Girl Power.

[suspenseful instrumental music playing]

[music concludes]

[upbeat dance music

playing in distance]

Don't give up yet, Mirrors.

Maybe Ayla and Yago are gonna show up.

Or maybe we can persuade the organizers

in another way, somehow, could we?

- Anyone have pals in the mafia?

- [crowd cheering, applauding]

Julia, you have to stop

watching gangster shows.

[music concludes]

- [dog barking in distance]

- [grunts]

[indistinct chatter]

[lid opens]

[sighs]

You can't let them down.

Paola worked so hard on the outfits,

and Sofía lugged so many hours lifting.

- It's Sami's last dance.

- [emotional instrumental music playing]

And you gotta stick it to those Steps.

Yago, if you miss this,

you're gonna regret it.

Come on?

So, may I take that as a yes?

- [uplifting instrumental music playing]

- Let's go, we're gonna miss it!

- Great! [grunts]

- Hurry!

- [host] Girl Power!

- [crowd cheering, applauding]

[music concludes]

Nothing to prove ♪

No more waiting

I'm making my own rules ♪

They really are something else.

Yeah, but… but so much older.

[scoffs] It's not fair.

I'm happy and I know I'm winning ♪

I'm happy and I know I'm winning ♪

I'm pretty sure the scholarship

won't go to either of us.

Yeah, you wouldn't care.

I'm a boss, big-time energy ♪

I'm a queen, the role made by me ♪

- [song stops]

- [sighs]

[whimsical instrumental music playing]

- Uh, what do I say?

- [falters] Just say whatever, it's okay.

- Hey, whatever.

- [sighs, chuckles]

No jealousy ♪

Who fame? Just pay me ♪

Feeling so high

Like a wire at the circus ♪

Walking on clouds

Everybody want a piece

But don't really know the circuit ♪

Mantra, anthem… ♪

- It's almost their turn.

- And Ayla and Yago?

I'm happy and I know I'm winning ♪

[song fades]

You guys, you have one minute.

You in or not?

- Just a second, please.

- No, a microsecond.

[whimsical instrumental music playing]

Guys, come here.

Now what?

Okay. It's up to just us four.

What do we do?

- Dance with just us?

- Well, no.

It's useless trying to do our dance

without the lift, right?

- We'll be disqualified.

- So what?

It's not every day we get the opportunity

to dance in a theater,

- and I don't wanna miss it.

- Twenty nanoseconds.

[sighs]

I'm sorry, guys,

but I don't want to look ridiculous.

- Especially not around the Steps.

- Yeah, I agree.

The choreo's meant for six.

Without Yago and Ayla,

it'll just fall flat.

[upbeat dance music continues]

I'm happy and I know I'm winning ♪

- [music concludes]

- [crowd cheering, applauding]

Ten and nine, eight,

seven, six…

But we're all really good at freestyle

and we know how to improvise.

- Right, Kako?

- [host] Those girls were amazing!

- I mean, it's Sami's last dance.

- [host] Girl Power!

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- [Girl Power cheers]

- [Girl Power cheers] Girl Power!

- It's time, you guys.

- Are you in?

- [whimsical instrumental music playing]

- I'm dancing.

- Me too.

[host] Judges,

the bar's been set high today.

Then I'm in.

[breathes deeply]

[host] And now, ladies and gentlemen,

the final act of the evening.

- I present to you The Mirrors!

- [crowd cheering, applauding]

[upbeat dance music playing]

Where are they?

- [music stops]

- [audience murmuring]

[audience member coughing]

[upbeat dance music continues]

[crowd cheering, applauding]

- Uh, shouldn't there be six of you?

- Uh, two of our dancers couldn't come.

- [music stops]

- I don't know, guys,

I'm not sure you can still participate.

The Mirrors are missing two

of their performers.

So, I have to consult with the judges,

excuse me,

to see if this crew is still eligible

to compete.

[indistinct chatter]

The judges have confirmed that,

according to the regulations,

we regret to say,

The Mirrors are disqualified.

- No!

- [indistinct chatter]

- [tense instrumental music playing]

- Please exit the stage.

[audience murmuring]

- [Ayla] Hold on!

- [Yago] We're here! [pants]

- It's them!

- [Kako chuckles softly]

- [crowd whispering indistinctly]

- Is this part of the show?

Okay, it looks like

the missing members are here.

Uh, do the judges have any objections

to readmitting The Mirrors?

[suspenseful instrumental music playing]

[whispering indistinctly]

The judges have decided

to penalize The Mirrors

for causing a delay.

But they have no problem letting them back

into the competition!

- How about that?

- [crowd applauding, cheering]

- It's time to dance!

- [upbeat rock music playing]

- [cell phone chimes]

- When it seemed like everything was lost,

Ayla found a way to return Yago

just in time.

This moment is historical.

Never, in the long history of Move You,

have we ever heard of this.

Long history? [scoffs]

Move You's only two years old.

- [host] The Mirrors!

- [crowd cheering, applauding]

- I'm sorry, guys.

- I'll m*rder you later.

[chuckles]

I don't want to criticize the judges,

but doing all that

and penalizing The Mirrors one point

seems to be just plain dumb!

- Uh, Julia?

- [shushes]

[whimsical instrumental music playing]

Uh, mm… Well,

beside all that, I do think

the whole day has been an experience

that, um, was very good for the kids,

very rewarding for all.

And watching teams strengthen their bond,

it inspires every--

On the street, heart and soul.

Mirrors, Mirrors, here we go.

[both chuckle awkwardly]

- [clears throat]

- [music concludes]

[indistinct chatter]

Here we can see some of the Mirrors

just after their big performance.

How are you feeling

after all that intensity, Ayla?

I have tachycardia. Okay? Let me rest.

Kako. What do you think?

Will you make it to the final?

With a dance that random? [scoffs]

I wouldn't bet on it. [laughs]

Poor thing. You gotta be furious, huh?

After trying to get us kicked out

of the competition…

Not anger, just pity.

I will say though,

the song you all picked. It was palatable.

- Who is it?

- It's Kaboom.

A musician with a secret identity

who sent the track to the Mirr--

- [shushes] Too much info.

- Kaboom, huh?

- [Noe, in English] Well, later. [scoffs]

- [indistinct chatter]

Yeah?

Nothing.

[upbeat dance music

playing in distance]

[exhales]

- It won't stop ever, will it?

- [David] Ayla.

- Are you okay?

- Ah. Yeah, yeah.

Listen, it was cool

that you pulled through.

- Aren't you being a little bit sus?

- Huh? No.

No. I… I seriously hope

we all get to the final.

So we can see each other.

But, finals aside,

we would do that anyway.

- The institute.

- Mm… [smacks lips]

- I really don't think that's enough.

- [Ayla] It isn't?

[soft instrumental music playing]

- And why's that?

- [chuckles softly]

- You really need an explanation?

- Mm-hmm.

[David inhales deeply]

- Well, because I like you.

- [chuckles]

But only this much.

Only that much?

- That much. [chuckles]

- [chuckles]

[footsteps approaching]

- [music ends]

- Uh, um…

- Dude? What's up?

- Nothing.

I got there just in time.

- They're gonna announce the finalists.

- [whimsical instrumental music playing]

For the competition.

[huffs]

[chuckles softly]

[music concludes]

- [crowd applauding]

- [upbeat electronic music playing]

And finally, the most exciting moment

of the afternoon is here!

In just a moment, we'll find out

which ten groups will advance

to the next phase of the competition.

And don't forget

that the last phase of Move You

is getting transmitted

by satellite everywhere.

[crowd applauding, cheering]

[suspenseful instrumental music playing]

In first place we have…

- Girl Power!

- [crowd applauding, cheering]

In second place…

- Step By Step!

- [crowd member yells]

[host] In third place…

[crowd cheering, applauding]

[host] In ninth place…

- The Mirrors!

- [crowd cheering, applauding]

- [uplifting instrumental music playing]

- [The Mirrors cheering]

- [cheers]

- [all cheering]

With odds against us,

we made it to the next round.

- The Mirrors k*lled it.

- We're on ninth place, so we wounded it.

Because they took away a point.

Otherwise, we'd be eighth.

- That's true.

- [chuckles]

[all scream, cheer]

- [Paola] You should have seen their faces.

- [Yago chuckles] I know, it was amazing.

I know you're exhausted

and really want to eat,

but before dinner,

you gotta do a press conference.

Let's say, in ten minutes?

- Enough time to pee and freshen up a bit.

- Her batteries never run out, do they?

- [huffs] Hers or her phone's? [laughs]

- [chuckles softly]

Inés, that's enough.

The Mirrors won't be doing

any more interviews today.

- Oh, but it's just--

- I need dinner or I'll eat whatever I see.

- [chomps]

- [all laugh]

- Come on, let's go.

- [laughs]

[sighs]

Welcome back, guys! [cheers]

- And congratulations. [laughs]

- [The Mirrors laugh]

[Nieves] I'm so sorry I couldn't be there.

But thanks to that,

I do have some great news to share.

We will be able to repair everything

that's needed in the center!

- All right!

- [all cheer]

Miss Nieves is the best.

- Yes!

- But how did you do it?

I'll explain it all later.

But we need to feast first,

right, champions?

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, please.

- [chuckles]

[uplifting electronic music playing]

- [cheers]

- What?

[all gasp, chuckle]

Go!

A very special dinner

to end a very special day.

Canapés, ham, and sushi,

chicken fingers…

[exhales] I don't even know

where to begin!

Mm. Macarons. [inhales]

So surprised to see you here.

It's not raspberry or blackberry,

my favorites,

but oh, well, it's really close.

- [inhales]

- [Paola] What is all this?

- Did we win the lottery or what?

- Mm, not exactly, my dear.

This dinner is courtesy

of the new benefactor of the Forest,

who will be taking care

of every single repair the Forest needs.

- [gasps] Seriously?

- [chuckles]

They're coming now, actually.

[whimsical instrumental music playing]

Let me introduce Miss Esmeralda

and her assistant, Eric.

These are the kids who performed,

The Mirrors.

- Hello, children.

- [The Mirrors] Hello.

You came to see us at the mall, right?

[inhales] Yes,

that's right, yes, I was there.

And from that moment on,

I decided that I was going to help you.

Well, thank you.

Hello!

Uh, thanks for all that

and for all this. [inhales]

I feel like… [gasps] …I'm at the feast

from Beauty and the Beast!

[chuckles]

- And you must be Belle.

- Thank you.

[gasps] You're Cogsworth. I'm Lumiere!

- Enchanté.

- [The Mirrors chuckle]

How nice. All right.

Eat before everything gets cold, huh?

- [music concludes]

- We're so very thankful.
