Diary of a Gigolo (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
I'm not a murderer.
[somber music playing]
She was important to me.
I thought it was
only a working relationship.
Was lying to your clients normal?
[intriguing synthwave music playing]
Hello!
- Hello?
- [Emanuel] Here.
Ah!
[exclaims]
You're so sexy. [laughing]
I was about to shower.
I don't mind.
Any champagne left?
- The fridge doesn't work.
- Ugh, don't tell me that.
Ugh.
My liver will be thankful.
What about what we discussed?
Do you still think it's crazy?
Not as much anymore, but we need
to agree on a couple of things.
[scoffs] What things?
I gave you a blank check.
That should tell you
that this doesn't have a price for me.
Ana, it's not that.
I'm worried about how fragile Julia is.
She's closer to breaking down
than to making her life easier.
- When you meet her you'll understand.
- I met her yesterday.
What?
I'm Emanuel.
- What's your name?
- [man] Julia.
I was thinking of our homework
to analyze a painting.
Yes?
Don't take it personal.
We barely know what she sounds like.
- [Ana] Where?
- [Emanuel] At the art school.
You told me all of this.
Did you change your mind?
I didn't, but you didn't tell me.
No, I went to the school,
I said two words she didn't reply to,
but I had to get close and strategize.
Does that mean you accept?
Mmm.
I knew you wouldn't leave me alone.
I could pretend I'm a student
so she doesn't suspect anything.
The main hall of that school
should have my name on it.
One call and you'll be in.
That's what I wanted to hear.
[sensual music playing]
- [Florencia] Mom.
- [Minou] Hmm?
Can you explain this?
The numbers don't add up.
When did you take out
so much money from the bank
and why didn't I hear about it?
You're talking about
my bank account and my money,
and I can do what I want with it.
You meant to say, "our money."
Because it's the company's money,
and that's not only yours, Mom.
You can't do whatever you want
with the company's money.
"The company."
- In a practical sense, it's a company.
- It's more than that.
It's a business, and you know what?
Many depend on that business,
including you and me.
Emanuel, all the boys. This is worrisome.
Stop, Florencia!
You're my daughter, you know my story.
I come from the very bottom.
[angrily] I've fallen and I've gotten up.
And I will continue to do so.
How are you getting out of this one?
- Playing poker again?
- [scoffs]
[intriguing music playing]
You know what?
I hate contracts and paperwork.
Can we say we have a deal?
One thing.
- Julia can never know about this.
- Two things.
- Minou can never know about our deal.
- Okay.
[kisses hand]
I'm taking it.
Can I have it a little longer?
Julia's going crazy looking for it.
I understand,
but it's the only way I can get closer.
- Okay, just a little longer.
- Yes.
I'm gonna grab something.
[dark music playing]
[dark music continues]
[man] Julia.
Julia!
My grandma said if you destroy your
drawings, you don't appreciate your art.
I'm stuck on an analysis, can you help me?
And I can help you develop generosity.
It's a win-win.
- [Julia] Okay.
- Thanks.
Seriously, you have to control
your impulses, you can't keep this up.
I am in control of my life.
Don't talk to me like you're, what?
In charge or something.
I see what's happening
Good afternoon. Ms. Minou?
I'm Isabel Peñafort's secretary.
Isabel.
Finally.
- Can we speak in private?
- Yes, of course.
Of course. Excuse me.
[Minou] Thank you, Florencia.
Miss, if you'd be so kind.
- Leave us alone.
- Yes, Ms. Isabel.
[Minou] Tea?
[tranquil piano music playing]
No, thank you. I am fine.
Isabel, my dear.
Discretion is the magic key
to enter this world,
and if you're not discrete,
you cannot enter.
So feel safe to have a seat.
Give me your hand.
Of course.
I fully understand.
When women want to have new experiences,
to enter new worlds, we feel this way.
Everyone who comes here
feels that way at first, but don't worry.
You can feel safe.
[nervously] Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
[Minou] We've been
repressed for centuries,
convinced that sex for females
should only be used for reproduction.
[Minou chuckling]
- No one spoke about our pleasure.
- [inaudible]
[Minou] Erotic curiosity
and fantasies are essential,
but we were told they were
a privilege reserved only for men.
We were underestimated,
brought up to think what came first
was the man's satisfaction.
The only revolution I believe in
is the one set for desire.
And my humble contribution
is to collaborate
so you can break off from those ideas
and allow yourself a beautiful experience.
- Of pleasure. In a safe space, of course.
- [inaudible]
[Minou] That's why I asked you to come,
so I can get to know you.
So I can hear you as an analyst of desire,
and look into your eyes.
- What I do is personalized.
- [tranquil piano music continues]
[Minou] Finding the ideal partner
for your pleasure experience.
Because
no two women in this world are the same.
That's why I need to know exactly
who the perfect person is for you.
[Ana] Hi!
[Víctor] Hi.
[Ana] So handsome.
[Víctor] Do you like it?
This one or this one?
[Ana] What about
this one?
[chuckles] This one is great. Thanks.
It looks nice.
Is it Christmas or something?
No, I'm in a good mood,
and I brought gifts for everyone.
Okay.
I'm surprised by your ability to do a 180.
You called it being unbalanced yesterday.
Well, not everyone
can go from lying in bed to a burst of
I like it.
a burst of energy and vitality.
Okay. Should we have dinner?
I have a dinner
with some suppliers of the lab.
- [Ana] Sure.
- I do. You can come if you want to.
I think you'd be in trouble if I went.
- Tell Rosa to put the flowers in a vase.
- Mm-hmm.
[suspenseful music playing]
You should stop pampering me like this.
[Rosa] Never, Julita.
Besides, you haven't
asked for my help in a long time.
Are you okay, sweetie?
[Julia] I lost my diary.
I already looked for it here,
and I also looked at school.
I will find it for you, sweetie.
It didn't walk out of here. [laughing]
- [Ana] Hi!
- What are you doing?
Rosa is here. I am your mother.
Rosa is always here.
Rosa, can you leave us?
I bought you beautiful skirts.
I need you to try them on.
Did you do it for me or for you?
What's wrong with you?
I'm only looking for ways
for us to be closer.
No. You're trying to feel less guilty
for having a daughter like me.
You're wrong.
I'd do anything for you.
[somber music playing]
[discordant note plays]
In all my years working with women,
I was never in a violent situation.
Never!
[crowd yelling and clamoring]
[officer 1] It will be
interesting to talk to them.
[officer 2] I doubt they'd
want to be witnesses in this case.
Those who hire you prefer to be anonymous.
Right?
I couldn't do that to them.
The victim was in your house.
The lock wasn't forced.
Her body was on the living room floor,
and the door was locked.
[Emanuel] The kitchen door is broken.
It could have been anyone.
Sit down. Have some water.
[officer 2] Who else
had keys to your house?
Look. No one I know
would do something like that.
So it doesn't matter.
All evidence points to the fact
that the victim knew her killer.
If it wasn't you,
then who?
That's why you're here, right?
Find out.
[lock buzzes]
Hey, Flor, when you hear this,
open the door. I lost my keys.
[intriguing music playing]
[intriguing music continues]
[knocking on window]
What happened? Did you miss me?
If only you had come
a couple of minutes earlier.
Why?
I lost my keys.
I had to jump in
and force the kitchen door.
- What?
- What I just said.
Why? Couldn't you wait?
You know patience isn't my virtue.
Right, I know that.
[Florencia exclaims]
Well, it's done now. I have good news.
- Let's hear it.
- You have a great new assignment.
You're going to New York
for a few days with a new client.
- When?
- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yes, tomorrow.
Your agenda is empty. Is there a problem?
- No, it's fine. It's fine.
- Okay, great.
Isabel Peñafort is a diplomat.
It's her first time doing this,
so she's anxious.
She's married,
and she needs absolute discretion.
- I need you to be extra careful.
- Flor, please. I'm not new to this.
I know. I know you're not.
I know you're amazing.
But my mom asked me to supervise
and make sure it goes well because
she's very anxious, very worried.
We're in the red again.
Honestly, I
don't know how to talk to her anymore.
- Well, let's do this.
- Mmm.
I'll talk to your mom and take care of it.
- Really?
- Yes.
- What would I do without you?
- Absolutely nothing.
Leave your bag packed
and I'll take it to the airport.
[upbeat music playing]
Have you seen Minou?
- Look for her, you'll find her.
- You're getting too much sun.
Hey.
I've missed you, friend.
- How are you?
- Good.
- It's been too long.
- It has.
I have to say, Dubai was amazing,
but also very boring.
That's why they took you, to make it fun.
Yes, and I had to be
more creative than usual.
- But I think I succeeded.
- That's all that matters.
I have a lot to tell you.
Change and we can hang out.
No, I only came for a bit.
I have a trip to go on.
Who is it? Ana?
No, it's not Ana.
Okay. If you're looking for Minou,
she's in the kitchen.
[man] Did you find her?
Why didn't you sleep over?
Because I don't want to have to explain
myself at home, and much less here.
- And these people?
- They're Ana's guests.
[Florencia] Freddy, I heard your message.
I know you're a great artist,
but people buy paintings
- because they match the sofas
- Hi.
in their home. Let me call you back.
- What are they doing?
- Uh
Nice to meet you. I'm Florencia.
We're here from the art gallery
to display the art
that was bought by Ms. Ana Miró Sanz.
- The owner of the lab. And you are?
- Her husband.
Víctor Lubo, president of the company.
I'm afraid you'll have to stop
until you request authorization.
Authorization for a painting?
Yes. Company policy.
Mmm. I think there's
a conflict of interest here.
On one hand, the owner
is asking me something else.
So I don't know what to do, Víctor.
- Florencia, right?
- Mm-hmm.
Let me talk to her and I'll call you.
Great. Can you call her now?
I'm sorry, but it was expensive,
it's paid for, and I'm in charge of it.
Of course.
- Leticia, you can handle it, right?
- Yes.
You're being paranoid.
No, I'm not paranoid. It's a real danger.
I want security to be more diligent.
After what happened the other day,
no one can come in without authorization.
Understand? No one.
[tense note playing]
[Minou chuckling] Sweetheart.
- I brought you something.
- Uh-huh? What did you bring me?
- A nice gift?
- Yes.
Eighty-six thousand.
- Where did you get that from?
- Minou.
Swear that this money
will go straight to
I'm not going to fix my problems
at your expense.
You cannot afford to say no.
Please, take it.
- Please.
- But
I
[voice breaking] I'm sorry,
it's just that
- I'm a disaster.
- No, you're not.
You could use a vacation.
Yes, a vacation.
Vacations are a waste of time.
- Is resting too?
- Ah
What do you want me to go on vacation for?
To go to museums all alone?
- No.
- You could also find company.
[scoffs] You just made things worse, son.
What did I say about love? It's useless.
I already had relationships.
Many. Been there, done that, son.
And, as I said, son,
love is nothing but a waste of time.
Thank you, son.
- Thank you, son. I love you.
- Love you too.
[Emanuel] Today and always.
[Minou crying softly]
I'm so overwhelmed, son.
I'm with you today and always. Always.
PROTESTS AND INCIDENTS AT BOLONTE LAB
- [protester] Stop killing your customers!
- [man] Every day we have complaints.
- [protester] Murderers!
- Divide them.
I've told you many times,
it's the best strategy.
If they can't organize,
they won't have a shared identity.
I don't think it's a good time.
The prosecution is building a case.
What about our people
at the Ministry of Health?
Doing what they can.
Lots of media pressure.
They're not doing much.
Turn that off. I can't stand it.
I'm gonna share my side of the story.
Give an interview.
You should talk to your PR rep first.
- I'm still working on a countersuit.
- I'll make some calls. Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Dolores, wait.
Uh, don't you think
there isn't enough space
for so many paintings?
Víctor, you've never understood art.
Ana is the owner.
She can have all the paintings she wants.
That wouldn't be a problem
if she came to work once in a while.
Don't worry, that's why I am here
to watch over her interests.
[menacing music plays]
[tense music playing]
[teacher] Trust in your gut,
what feels right for you. Come on.
Look. This one has
And come back. Deep.
- Come on, let's get to work.
- [knock on door]
[Emanuel] Hi, everyone.
Hello.
I need your attention, please.
Emanuel will be joining our
photography class for a couple of weeks.
He just got here from
- [Emanuel] From New York.
- New York.
I can show you around
the school if you want.
[student laughs]
From what I can see,
you will be welcomed here.
Look.
- This camera is for you.
- [Emanuel] Great.
- [teacher] We're freestyling today.
- [Emanuel] Perfect.
Great, thank you.
[tense music continues]
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music continues]
- [inaudible]
- [dramatic music continues]
My friend.
I've missed you.
[scoffs]
Román.
Eighty-six thousand.
Let's see.
[sniffs] Hmm.
I want the artwork you took
from my gallery back tomorrow,
intact.
- We're even, right?
- We're at peace, which is different.
Would you accept being my guest of honor?
What do you say?
[bittersweet music playing]
[Román chuckling]
Hold onto that.
- [bittersweet music continues]
- [student 1] I like yours better.
[student 2 laughs]
- [student 1] Is it a man or a woman?
- [student 2] I don't know.
Hi.
- I'm María.
- Hi, María.
Will you excuse me?
Fire as a common denominator.
Very interesting.
[bittersweet music swelling]
[lounge music playing]
[Minou] Good evening, ladies.
- Tomás.
- Yes.
Please, take care of that woman.
Of course.
- [Minou] He'll be with you shortly.
- Excuse me.
[Minou] Pardon.
- Ana, hi.
- Hi.
Uh, I'm sorry, Emanuel isn't here.
I don't know if I made a mistake.
Maybe I booked you by mistake
No, don't worry, it's not your fault.
I decided last minute.
What a relief.
I know your clients
are very important to you.
Always, sweetie. Always.
- I needed a distraction.
- Okay.
Please, enjoy.
We have beautiful paintings.
Let me know if you need anything.
- [in English] Enjoy.
- [in Spanish] Thank you.
[clears throat] As you can see,
Emanuel isn't here.
I can replace him in any way you want.
Are you so sure of yourself?
Let me take your coat.
I'm not wearing anything under it.
Is that an invitation?
Of course not.
I'm looking for Dolores.
I think she's in the bathroom.
Can I offer you a drink?
Champagne, please.
[man] Julia.
Julia! Are we working together?
I told you. Yes, but not now.
What else do you have to do
besides go back to your tower?
[Emanuel] Excuse me. Do you know
if there's a gas station nearby?
Yes. Go straight for two blocks,
then make a left.
Turn left again, ten more blocks,
turn left again, and you'll be there.
Thanks. Do you have plans?
I have an event for a client
that I worked for in New York.
I have to go, but I'd rather not go alone.
I know it doesn't sound like fun,
but it's the world's biggest
Kobal collection.
[man] What?
[Emanuel] I don't know if you know of him.
- She's his number one fan.
- Great. Get in, then.
- No, thanks.
- Julia, your madness amuses me.
It intrigues me.
But it's one thing to be strange
and another to be ridiculous.
Let's go.
- Yes!
- [car door opens]
- It's a party, right?
- Of course.
- [upbeat synth music playing]
- [man] Okay.
You know I don't want to
fight with you over money. I don't
No, you leave me no choice.
Of course.
Okay, you're on your own then.
- Cristian?
- He's getting married.
I can't help feeling that I'm losing him.
You already lost him. Congratulations.
Everything has a solution.
You're so optimistic.
I want to have what you're having.
Ah, no, no, no.
It's just having plans, projects.
And I owe that to you.
You gave me the push I needed.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- I did what you suggested.
I asked Emanuel to seduce Julia.
What?
- It's what you told me.
- Are you crazy?
"What I told you"?
I didn't think you'd ask Emanuel.
Emanuel. I don't have to explain why.
Are you crazy, Ana?
- It's something innocent. It's
- Oh, Ana.
It's just for Emanuel
to add a little spice to Julia's life.
- Who else can I trust?
- You like to play with fire.
Who doesn't like to play with fire?
Make a wish.
You don't know?
My grandma said
that when you go under a train,
you have to make a wish.
Do you know?
I get tired of talking about art,
not to mention analyzing it.
I only go to showings to drink for free
and to criticize horrible paintings.
She paints and draws. Don't you?
Okay, she's not talking to us.
What about you? Where did you come from?
You come from New York,
enroll in our school. Why? Are you crazy?
Play some music.
[intriguing techno music playing]
- Where were you yesterday?
- I was working.
- You didn't answer.
- I was working.
- Okay.
- I was very busy.
- Where did that dress come from?
- It's new.
- Do you like it?
- I love it.
- [Dolores] You hadn't seen it?
- No.
- [Ana] How nice.
- Nice, comfortable, easy to take off.
- [Ana] I wasn't talking about the dress.
- [laughing]
Here you are!
- [Ana] Here we are.
- I thought you left. Here you go.
[Ana] Thanks.
- Do you want something to drink?
- Yes. Rosé, please.
- Sure. Be right back.
- [Dolores] Thanks.
I like him.
He's too ordinary for my taste.
Do you know the most ordinary ones
are the most creative in bed?
Who said that?
- Experience.
- Ah.
Very creative!
He makes me yawn.
[intriguing techno music continues]
Isabel. Nice to meet you, I'm Florencia.
- How are you?
- I'm good.
Let's do this quickly, please.
Where is he?
He's on the way. He just called me.
He got stuck in traffic,
but he'll be here soon.
- Why don't we wait inside?
- Sure, come in.
She hates waiting.
Even more under these circumstances.
[upbeat techno music playing loudly]
FLOR
ANSWER
[phone vibrating]
[on recording] Hi, it's Emanuel.
Leave a message.
Emanuel, you should
have been here ten minutes ago!
We're waiting for you,
and I don't know what to say.
[upbeat techno music continues]
[dance music playing faintly]
[dance music playing loudly]
Welcome. Come in.
Have fun.
- Did you hear that? Let's have fun.
- [indistinct chatter]
[dance music continues]
The paintings are over here.
Come.
[dance music continues]
- [dance music fading]
- [pensive music playing]
When I met you,
I thought of this painting.
[tranquil music playing]
[intriguing music playing]
[Dolores] Did you lose something?
Dolores.
Uh, no, I just had
a pending conversation with Ana.
Did you know that besides
being her friend, I'm her lawyer?
You can have that conversation with me.
- Want another drink?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- At my place.
[intriguing music continues]
[dance music playing]
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
This is for you.
- I was leaving.
- But we just got here.
I know you only came to see the paintings
and that's done.
But I also know
I wasn't mistaken when I thought of you.
This painting is enigmatic,
mysterious, and intense
for those who try to decode it.
I've also considered never speaking again.
From what I see, you don't like to talk.
At least not with me.
Don't worry.
We don't have to fill this silence
with more noise.
- I'm going to the bathroom.
- Okay.
- [dance music continues]
- [phone vibrating]
[Florencia] Emanuel, where are you?
The plane is leaving!
Get back to me, please!
- [suspenseful music playing]
- [camera clicking]
[officer 1] How did you get hurt?
- This has nothing to do with the murder.
- [camera clicking]
[officer 2] Morillo.
And those keys? Are they from your car?
What do you think?
Where is it?
[dramatic note plays]
[tense music playing]
Does this also have nothing
to do with the murder?
[enticing synthwave music playing]
[enticing synthwave continues]
[woman moaning]
[man] Boss.
[whispers] Minou.
Thank you.
[upbeat techno music playing]
- You missed me.
- Always.
[man sniffing]
[Dolores moaning]
[Minou] No more.
Great, sweetheart. Thank you.
Whisky, please. I deserve it.
[techno music continues]
[techno music building]
[techno music fades]
[line ringing]
[Minou] Flor.
You don't need to check in on me
like I'm a teenager.
- Have you heard from Emanuel?
- What do you mean?
- You were going to put him on the plane.
- No, he didn't come.
- What do you mean?
- He's not here.
We're waiting for him
and I don't know what to say anymore.
That's very strange.
He's never missed an appointment
in ten years.
[Minou] Call him and find him.
It's not possible. Where is he?
[Florencia] I don't know where he is, Mom.
Well, if you manage to talk to him,
please, let me know.
Call me, please. Find out where he is.
Yes, I'll take care of it.
As usual, Mom. Bye.
[Román] Something wrong?
What do you care?
You're over an hour late.
When I call you, you answer.
You're agitated, Flor.
- Good luck, asshole.
- Love you.
- Good evening, Isabel.
- Good evening.
[sighs] Your actions don't
match with what I've heard about you.
I hope you judge me from your own
experience and not from what you heard.
By the end of this trip,
I'd like to know what you think.
- Oh really?
- Really.
[intriguing music playing]
Toyo.
- Yes, Isabel.
- Sit here.
[intriguing music continues]
[intriguing synthwave music playing]
