01x08 - La Boda

Post by bunniefuu »

- Look where we are.
- What?

You did this,
and you also ruined those people's lives.

I ruined those "poor" people's lives?

Yes, you, with your games.
Look at yourself. You're evil.

You're a bad person.

You're worse. Much worse.

You play with people's feelings

and make them believe your lies.
Worse, you believe them too!

f*ck you!

- You know what?
- What?

f*ck you!

What you doing? Are you crazy?
You always were.

Of course I'm crazy!
I don't even know who I am!

And that, as*h*le, is your fault.

What? Why my fault?

Your f*cking fault!

You broke my heart in a thousand pieces!

- Me?
- Yes, you!

- I loved you, Julio!
- Liar!

No, I loved you with all my heart
and you betrayed me.

- What are you saying?
- What am I saying?

My dad is in jail because of you!

I'm here because of you!

I had nothing to do with that!

Stop lying to my face!

I had nothing to do with that!
It's the truth!

- I saw your signature! I did!
- What?

Stop lying to my face!

15 YEARS EARLIER

ANNUAL GALLEON INVESTMENT FUND
c*ck PARTY

BOCA RATÓN, FLORIDA - SEPTEMBER 15, 2008

In the heat of the moment in bed,
the woman says,

"Tell me something you never have, Paco".

And Paco says, "Heliport!"

JAVIER SALMERÓN
GALLEON FUND CO-FOUNDER - FATHER OF JULIO

Well, Federico, think about it.

Your brother's doing well with us.

PEDRO URQUIZA
FATHER OF BALBINA AND JULIÁN

The fund is closed,
but for the captain of the Urqui empire...

ANTONIO SIMONIAN - GALLEON FUND CO-FOUNDER
FATHER OF VICTORIA

We could give you a small allocation.

FEDERICO URQUIZA
FATHER OF FEDE, INÉS, AND RAFA

Take some for your wife and kids,
they're a present.

They already have watches, thanks.

Come with me, it's urgent.

Enjoy the party.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What a great party!

I can't believe it. Let's go.

No! I have to study.

For my SAT. You know I need...

- 1500 for Harvard.
- ...1500 for Harvard.

I remember well.

Have you seen Javier?

- No, actually.
- Not once.

Such mediocrity.

Take your money out of here.

Camila always complains to Yolanda
that you're never home.

Camila and the kids have all they want,
and more than they deserve.

Tell your wife to stop talking to mine.

She has enough going on with a g*y son.

Be careful, as*h*le.

Don't forget who signs
the checks in this family.

Have you seen Javier?

No.

Vicky, our parents own the largest fund
in Latin America.

And that's already yours. You have it.

I know.

But I don't want to inherit, I want...

I want to take my own path.

Good idea. I'll be behind you every step.

But you must enjoy yourself too, right?

Enjoy?

Enjoy life, see what surprises it brings.

What we have.

Did you steal this?

- It's not exactly stealing...
- No, Julio, they're for investors.

You can't keep pretty things in a box.

Here. For you.

I appreciate your concern.

But I've just reinvested everything.

And you know why?

So I don't have to depend on you.

Or on Urqui, you son of a b*tch.

The Dow shaken
by Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.

Lehman's broke. Talk to Valentina at Citi.
We have to sell everything.

Never fails. Let's go before the tide.

- No. No.
- Let's go.

- I have to study. My SAT...
- Let's go.

- Hey, hey.
- What?

We all have two lives.

And the second one starts
when you realize you only have one.

Which life are you in, Vicky?

Which life are you in?

In whichever,

but with you.

- Let's go!
- Wait!

Lehman Brothers just went bankrupt.

Take your money out.

You're overexposed.
If it falls, you're f*cked.

It's just a market correction.

Lehman is a small bank.

And the fund just went up 20%.

600 billion in assets is not small.

No fund will give you 20%
in these market conditions.

Something's up.

And these?

Don't you see they're fake?
And you're an as*h*le.

Have you seen my husband?

And Antonio?

What are you doing here?

There's a party out there
for your investors.

Hey...

What's wrong?

Everyone will want their money.

How f*cked are we?

No.

Misfortune

What do you think?

You think we'll be happy?

In life.

Of course!

Look at this. I'm already happy.

Why do you ask?

I don't know.

Because everything can change in a second.

I was thinking about my mom.

One day you're here,
and the next you're gone.

Sometimes everything
is so clear and perfect.

I'll work with my dad at the fund.
Then I'll have my own fund.

Then a flat with you in Coral Gables.

And then a flat in New York.

And spend the summer in Tuscany.

You, me... Children...

You'll have all of that.

We'll have it together.

What do you want? Tell me what you want.

What do I want?

To be with you forever.

- To watch life go by.
- Watch life go by?

Yes. With you.

Watching life go by is expensive, Julio.

Yes.

Give me my passport.

For the last time, sign this and I will.

I'll smash your head in.
Give me my passport!

Hey! I'm being serious.

- Give it to me.
- Calm down.

- I'll smash your head in! Give it to me!
- Relax.

Why are you arguing?

- What's wrong?
- Your dad thinks I'm an idiot.

Your mom is hysterical.

Hysterical?

Do I look hysterical, love?

- No, Mom.
- Look. Calm.

An hysterical person
would throw this at you.

She would throw these.

Calm down.

- You see...
- Mom, come here.

Come on, let's go, Mom. Calm down.

What did you do, Dad? What's wrong?

Sign.

I'm not signing sh*t.

- Not sh*t.
- What do we have to sign?

What is it?

Can I sign? I can sign, I'm an adult.

What do we have to sign?

Well, yes, Julio, you're right.

You're an adult.

It's just papers, son.

Shares, notaries.

Okay.

Done. All solved.

Can we stop fighting now, please?

Give me my...

My passport, please.

- Why?
- I'm going to Chile to see Grandma.

Julio. You're a beautiful boy, Julio.

Cute, bright, loving.

But you need to learn that life
isn't always as you want.

Sometimes it's hard, okay?

At your age I already knew that,
now it's your turn to learn.

This is the only good thing we did,
you know?

So take care of him, please.

When you get the divorce papers,
contact my attorney.

f*ck, Dad!

- Mom...
- Take care of him, as*h*le.

Dad, why did she go?

What did you do?

Why is she leaving?

She'll get over it, you know her.

Looks like she won't this time. She left.

Tell me what the hell is going on.

Later. Just trust me for now, okay?

News just in,

rumors of the collapse of the Galleon Fund
are spreading through Miami like wildfire.

That's true, with more than
20 billion dollars in shares...

- Julio.
- Hello, darling.

I've been ringing, where were you?

Julio, sorry, sorry, it's just...

You won't believe what happened.

I got home and the FBI were taking my dad.

The FBI?

I followed them.

What?

Did you hear the news?

What's happening, Vicky?

My dad left home in a hurry.

My mom left the country. I don't know why.

I don't know. I have no idea.

There must be a misunderstanding, right?

sh*t!

The ATM won't give me cash.

I think it's something serious.

We have to leave.

Leave? Where to?

I don't know, someplace safe.

Let's leave on the boat for a few days.

Then we'll come back and think...

...both residents
of the Boca Ratón Golf Club.

You haven't seen the mansion
they have at the 19th hole...

Okay.

Okay.

See you at the dock at 8.

But I have to see my dad first.

What? How?

I can't go.

I can't go without saying goodbye.

Don't worry.

- Vicky.
- What?

I could lose everything, but never you.

Impossible.

I love you, Julio.

Short sell as much as you can
of what's in Andorra.

All these changes must be done by tonight.

Darling, what are you doing here?

Dad.

Hi.

Are you okay?

- Yes.
- Really?

What's going on, Dad?

It's a misunderstanding. They just want me
to answer some questions.

I'll be out by tonight.

- Don't worry, darling.
- Okay.

I was scared because
they're saying awful things.

Okay, thank goodness.

Antonio Simonian, you're under arrest.

You're accused of fraudulent trading,

fraudulent financial advice,

fraudulent bank transfers,

money laundering, perjury,

and giving false information...

One of the investors has sued,

and the judge has ruled
preventive custody due to the flight risk.

What the hell is happening here?
Where is Javier?

Why wasn't he arrested too?

We'll talk to Mr. Salmerón in due course.

For now, only your name is on the suit.

What? Who filed the suit?

Julio Salmerón.

My Julio?

Javier made some bad trades.

He hid the losses and they got bigger.

Now he's playing me,

and Julio is helping him.

Julio would never do that to us.

Listen, Victoria.

You can't see him or talk to him.

He's right.

If you see Julio,
you might never see your dad again.

- Where?
- Somewhere you've never been.

Holiday Inn.

In Tampa or Orlando.

Darling, I know this is hard,
but you must be strong.

You and your sister are all I have.
I'd never hurt you.

We're going to fix this.

Dad, no, please, no.

I know Julio.
I'm sure he has nothing to do with it.

If it's his fault,

then it's not mine.

Bosco, I have a problem.

I have problems with my credit cards
and I need to borrow some cash, please.

It's for gas for the boat.

You have some ba*ls!

My dad said your father ruined our lives.

I'll break your legs if I see you, f*ck.

Dad?

Son.

It's Antonio's fault.

He's been faking the accounts.
I tried to stop him, but I couldn't.

Why didn't you notice before?

I don't know, son.

I'm the front man,
the one who sells it to people.

Antonio is the numbers guy.

Son, we have to leave.

Where are we going?

Tell me where the hell we're going.

Equatorial Guinea.

What?

Equatorial Guinea?

They have no extradition treaty.

I have passports and money,
it's all set up.

It won't be for long.
We'll live like kings, okay?

What are you saying?
Are you listening to yourself?

I'm not going anywhere without Victoria.

You have good intentions,
but they don't put food on the table.

I can't sustain you if you don't come.

How will you make a living?

I don't know yet.

But I'm sure I'll think of something.

And I'll have Victoria.

I'm not leaving her.

We've ruined the most powerful
people on the continent.

They won't forgive us.

There won't be a stone to hide under.

This will follow you forever.

It'll be worse if I leave her.

Son, life will be tough...

but never change.

Why did you sign?

In the end, you were right.

My head's always in the clouds.

I didn't know what it was.

I signed it blindly.

Like an idiot.

So my dad knew, too.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

Are you okay, Mr. Michi?

Yes. Yes.

Would you like a hot bath?

Please.

Let me help you.

Is ma'am here?

They're in the meeting.

I bet Balbina is now company CEO

and the f*cking museum
won't exist, everything's sh*t.

- There's something I didn't tell you.
- What?

Yesterday when Balbina left,

she asked about Victoria.

What? What else did she say?

- Nothing, luckily, don't worry.
- f*ck.

Whatever happens...

I'm sorry.

It was nice to see you again.

It was nice to see you too.

I just need some time
to get out of this sh*t.

We have... Good!

- Find out who the mole is.
- What mole?

I don't care, block everything off.

Yes, yes. No, if not...

- Why are you toasting?
- Mom.

They're toasting!

Stop it, my goodness!

I'm going to hire a professional
who deserves the job,

not because of their name,

but because of their skill.

f*cking hell!

Darling.

- Is it better with a belt?
- No, I like it without.

Say it.

I'm a failure.

Everything I do goes to sh*t.

You're not a failure.

Fede, I've seen you

rebuild a church in one night.

I've seen you invest everything
you have in a free museum.

You're...

You're anything...

but a failure.

But I'm the eldest.

I have to take care
of my mom and my sisters.

Being the eldest just means

that you were born first.

That's it.

Remind me to tell you I love you.

I've made a note.

Lucky that your dad didn't ruin your life.

What are we going to do?

Nothing.

I hate to admit it, Rafa,

but eldest doesn't mean best.

You're what Urqui needs. Not me.

I'm not my dad.

Luckily, right?

Are we really going to let that old,
repressed b*tch take the company?

Don't judge me.
I'm getting married tomorrow.

- Don't finish it.
- Okay.

Please.

To the repressed!

I won't toast to her.

To us!

To us.

I'll toast to that.

- Give me the wine.
- Okay, okay.

- Give me the wine!
- Okay!

- Darling?
- Daddy.

What's wrong?

Did you lie to me, Dad?

What are you talking about?

You knew the Galleon Fund
was a fraud, right?

I did everything for you.

All that I'm doing for you...

I wanted to give you everything.

It got out of hand.

When you got involved with the Urquizas,

I wanted to tell you.

I never wanted to ruin your life,
but I couldn't live without you.

I've lost your sister.

I don't know how long I have.

Sorry, my love.

I'm sorry, too.

Are you leaving?

It's not their fault Dad lost everything.

Don't you dare take away my resentment.

It's all I have.

I'm not going to be an idiot like my dad.

Because between love and respect,

I choose respect.

It's very hard...

when everyone thinks I'm the bad guy.

But that's fine.

If it has to be so,

that's fine, I'm the bad guy.

But things have to change.

- I love you.
- I love you more.

Bravo!

Did you see Gordon Gekko
has a place at the table?

f*cking Leticia didn't waste a minute.

b*tch.

- Do you remember when I met you?
- Yes.

- It was ages ago.
- Yes.

It was four in the morning,
and you were there alone,

scared because nobody
had picked you up, remember?

It was my mom.

And...

And you came all haughty and said...

"I'm not scared of you."

And I answered,

"And you never will be."

Deal?

Deal.

Bravo!

Bravo!

We are the Chumpis!

- two...
- Wait, wait, wait!

Julio.

Wait!

Hey, Prince!

Marie Claire. What are you doing?

You're not going to hide
from this photographer.

- No.
- No, please, it's for family.

- No, please.
- Come on, please.

- Don't be silly, come.
- Come on. In the photo, my photo.

- But Ine, the photo is forever...
- I know, come on.

How cool and inclusive,
but with my girlfriend...

- Rafa, smile.
- I won't forget that.

- Smile, smile.
- Move there.

- Three, two, one.
- Smile.

Go on, this will be amazing.

I'm going to try this. Have you?

This looks delicious.

So pretty...

Father-in-law, what are you drinking?

- No, it's delicious.
- Here's the tequila.

- Do you want a tequila?
- Yes, please.

- It's too soon, right?
- Is she pregnant?

- Shall we serve ourselves?
- Yes.

Dig in, everyone.

You know we went personally
to Piedmont for the truffle.

We invited Chumpi, but he didn't
want to go because he's whipped.

To being whipped!

To being f*cking whipped!

No, no, I'm not whipped.

What b*stards!
Who cares if I'm whipped, anyway?

Never mind. The pigs were on leads,

so it was like you were there.

Tell him there's no deal
with those numbers.

And call the Blackstone people
and tell them to compare

the balance with the Norwegians.

Yes. To check the precision curve
of their fleet against ours.

Sorry, these f*cking gringos

think you know nothing
unless you have an MBA.

It's my wedding.

Hey, cousin.

I have a proposal.

Tell me, cousin, whatever you want.

Delicious.

I'm going to the bathroom.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Cheers.

Are you okay?

We need to talk.

I want you to lead the Foundation.

I want to start with 100 million.

Then in 10 years, a billion.
What do you say?

I need you.

You love her, right?

She loves you, too.

She loved me.

A long time ago.

Fede needs her.

And I think she needs him too.

Much more than she needs you.

I don't think you'll find anyone
to give you a better life than my aunt.

You won't say anything?

Some lies are convenient.

This family doesn't need more disasters.

Cousin.

A Cuba Libre with ice and lemon.

Very good.

Know anything about fishing?

Not much. We like pastries better.

They told me you wanted to catch a shark.

It'll be pretty hard.

Those things lose a lot of blood.

I'm not scared of blood.

I owe a lot to my parents.

But recently, I realized

that I hadn't thanked them
for the most important thing.

My sisters.

Rafaela.

Inés.

Today, the family has grown.

I've gained a brother.

One of the worst polo players I've seen.

And petanque.

But one of the best people I've met.

Chumpi, brother.

My grandfather, Rafael,
always said family is like granite.

Thousands of pieces together

in a smooth, polished block.

Impossible to break.

That's what we are.

Today, the family has grown
a little bigger.

There are a few more pieces.

Stronger than ever.

And although we are here to toast to love,

I want to take this opportunity

to toast

to my sister, Rafaela.

She is the legacy of our family.

To the bride and groom!

To the Urquizas and the Mendozas!

- Cheers!
- f*ck yes!

- Yes!
- Cheers!

- Cheers!
- Long live the bride and groom!

- Long live!
- Long live!

Cheers!

Finally, the speech is over!

Hooray for the Culichis!

Duty calls.

So, are we going to dance?

No, let's...

What do you mean?

You'll have to show me.

- Can I borrow her?
- Of course.

Mabel, would you mind
teaching me a step or two?

Let's go, come on!

That wasn't so hard, right?

No.

You took your watch off.

It'll be at the bottom of the sea.

Where it belongs.

Fede wants me to manage the museum.

I'm happy for you.

Are you happy?

They f*cked us, you know?

Our parents.

We had everything.

Everything.

Look.

We have it all again.

No.

You don't love her.

Not like you did me.

I do love her.

Like you love him.

That's it?

So now what?

We're just leaving it at that?

I've been crawling for 15 years.

I can't do it anymore.

How will you look at me every day,
knowing what you know?

It has to be like that, Victoria.

But you're the only one who knows me.

I don't know.

I don't know anymore.

I'm sorry...

Marie Claire.

Hey, I was thinking.

Why don't you go to Paris with Michi?

Because I don't want to.

Mom, I know you're worried about us,

but Rafa and I
have everything under control.

Excuse me a minute.

The future of the company.

Business isn't like playing with dolls.

Besides, this changes nothing.

I still have the deciding vote
on the family board.

With Balbina against you,

I don't need you guys
to appoint a new CEO.

Unless the company
is subject to a hostile takeover.

What are you saying?

Then the decisions are made
at the shareholder meeting.

Nobody is going to bid for Urqui.

And shares that are traded
don't have the right to vote, so...

Who would be interested in buying?

It doesn't matter.

Starting the process with the CNBV

is enough for you
to lose your deciding vote.

Who the hell is going to bid for Urqui?

They told me you want to catch a shark.

I see.

But this is not the end of it.

What is your plan?

To manage the company yourself, Rafaela?

Do you think
you're as good as your father?

You are no way near.

Get your paid shark
out of my sister's wedding.

Check.

But not mate.

Thank you.

Why?

For insisting.

For...

For having faith in love.

Thank you.

For the bathroom thing, my mom's birthday.

That was you.

Let's go to Paris.

What?

Yes!

Yes, let's go.

Let's live every day with a clean slate.

No strings.

No commitments.

Live,

travel...

No getting up early?

Exactly.

Never getting up early.

Will you accept the museum offer?

I don't know.

It's tempting.

Yes. It's what we do, people like us.

I don't understand. What?

Offers you can't refuse.

Look, I don't know who you are.

I don't know your world.

But you still have time to get out.

Have you seen where we are?

Everything we did.

The show we put on, right?

For what?

To send it all to hell now?

We all have two lives, right?

The second one starts
when you realize you only have one.

Which life are you in, Julio?

I should have said that, right?

So say it.

Say it.

Don't hurt me again.

Please.

Don't sign anything
if you don't know what it is.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Julio, you don't know me anymore!

What?

Victoria Simonian. Julio Salmerón.

You two are going nowhere.
