Zero (2021) s01e03 Episode Script

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Guys, I wanted to tell you
that in a few days,
power will be back on in the red blocks.
Get the word out. Peace.
Ah! All this thanks to Sharif
and to the money raised
by Sara's recording studio.
[upbeat instrumental music plays]
Fuck Sirenetta and it's shady business.
[guard] There's something wrong
with the monitors.
There's a strange interference,
and at the VIP table,
some kids are breaking the bank.
[Sharif] To those motherfuckers
who enjoy wrecking the hood
I'll handle it.
the Barrio won't give in. We stay here.
[Sharif] The plan is simple.
Go to the glam poker night
and win the 30,000 jackpot
with me cheating.
Besides, taking money from the mob
and giving it to the Barrio
isn't stealing but the right thing to do.
Just like Robin Hood.
Momo is the dealer.
- Who's that?
- [Omar] He deals the cards.
- [Sharif] I've never played poker.
- [Momo] Okay.
- [Sharif] But it can't be difficult.
- [Momo] Bang! Bang!
I have a jack and a queen.
Momo turned over a jack,
a queen, a ten, and a nine.
Sara, turn yours over. Boom!
This time, Sara beats me because her cards
and the ones the dealer turned over
make three tens, three of a kind, but
Bro, can I?
[Momo] Guys, it's easy.
You have to match the cards
on the table with the cards
[Omar] I'm understanding fuck all.
You can do one pair, two pair,
three of a kind, straight, straight flush
All right, Momo. We got it, thanks.
That's when you come in, Zero.
[Sharif] Do what you want,
just make sure
you give me the winning cards, okay?
- Is he really able to become invisible?
- Yes, he is. Why are you doubting him?
- I don't believe it. Look at him.
- [Sharif] Why are you so negative?
- [Sharif] What's your problem?
- What are you saying?
[Sharif] Always negative.
- I don't believe it.
- Guys!
[Omar] Yes, I can become invisible,
but I can't vanish on command.
- [Sara laughing]
- [Sharif sighing]
Kids, playtime is over.
[Sara] If we don't repair
the electric generator, we're fucked.
Okay, bro. Come with me.
- Hm?
- [Sara] Where?
[chair scraping]
Fine.
[distant car alarm wailing]
You can't fucking vanish on command?
Didn't you do it before?
Only once.
When I was a kid.
- [echoing] Mom!
- [wind blowing]
[Omar] And it happened again
in the elevator.
So, tell me how you vanished that time.
He pointed a gun at me.
[Inno] It's fear!
So you vanish when you're scared.
[synth music plays]
[Sharif] Then we just need to scare you.
Hey, guys. What the fuck Guys.
Whoa, whoa!
What are you doing?
[Omar gasping]
Whoa!
We can't scare the shit out of him
every time we want him to vanish.
- Ah!
- That time you vanished, you were alone.
- What were you scared of?
- I wasn't scared.
I was just very sad
and angry.
Emotions.
You vanish when you're emotional.
[Sharif gasping]
[distant church bell ringing]
[Sharif sighing]
[sighing]
Okay. Then bro,
you've got it inside you, okay?
- You just have to find it. Go.
- Yes.
- [breathing]
- [Momo] Go.
Focus.
Go.
[birds chirping]
[Momo] Yes.
[Inno] When I'm kicking a penalty,
I calm down, and I think
Bro, he doesn't need to be calm.
He needs to be emotional.
Zero, try to think something positive.
[Sara] Maybe a good memory.
Something that makes you fly high.
[Sara] Try it. Come on. Hm?
[melodic music plays]
[music rises]
[air rushing]
[Inno] What the fuck?
- Oh! Did you see?
- [Sara] Fuck, guys.
[Sharif] Well done, bro.
Try again, okay? Come on. Try again.
[breathing deeply]
[melodic music grows louder]
[air rushing]
- [all exclaiming]
- [Inno] Fuck!
- [electronic music plays]
- [Momo screaming, laughing]
[air rushing]
[gasping]
[Sara muffled] No!
- [Omar breathing loudly]
- [muffled] Woo-hoo-hoo!
[muffled] Yes!
[gasping, sighing]
[air rushing]
[Omar exhaling]
- [Sara] Fuck!
- [Momo] Zero!
Zero! Zero! Zero!
[Momo laughing]
Zero!
[Sara] Well done, bro.
- [Omar sighing]
- [Momo] Woo!
[air rushing]
[air rushing]
[timer beeping]
- Good. Twelve seconds, you're improving.
- [Omar] Yes.
- [Sharif] Again.
- [air rushing]
[timer beeping]
[birds and insects chirping]
To me, he's from another planet.
Stop talking shit.
- [air rushing]
- Okay, Einstein.
Name another terrestrial human
who can become invisible.
[Inno] Human beings can
only be terrestrial.
[moody electronic music plays]
- What kind of fucking answer is that?
- [Sara] Can you stop?
- Have a rest, okay?
- [Sara] Look at him.
He's not an alien. He's a human being.
[hushed tone] Guys, Sara's right.
That man's our ace in the hole,
and so we have to treat him
like a fucking princess. Hm?
I'm sick of this.
I've got my training now.
[Momo] What's wrong with this prick now?
[Sharif] I don't know. Inno!
Inno!
[music rises]
Bro, I'm late. The coach's strict,
and he doesn't like me.
I've got to go, bro.
Bro, why the fuck you care
about your coach?
We have the invisible man.
We can turn the power back on in our hood
and become kings.
[Inno] I don't give a shit
about being the Barrio's king.
- Bro, you're ruining everything.
- Isn't Zero enough for you?
- Are you jealous?
- Don't talk shit.
Don't talk shit, bro.
[vehicle engine running]
I don't trust that guy, okay?
- You saw it with your own eyes.
- I only saw a trick.
- People don't vanish.
- Even if it was, it's a fucking great one.
[Inno sighing]
Grow up, okay?
[Inno] Move, or I'll miss the bus.
[somber instrumental music plays]
[indistinct chatter]
[music grows louder]
[female vocalist humming]
[Sara] Hey.
Come and see this.
Look.
- [air rushes]
- [Momo laughing] Boh!
- [air rushing]
- [gasping] Whoa!
[Momo laughing]
Bro, make me disappear too.
Come on. [holding his breath]
[air rushing]
[Sharif sighing]
- [Momo] Ah.
- Okay, not people.
[sighing]
- [Sharif] Try again, okay?
- Come on. I'm tired.
The chair then.
[Sharif chuckling]
Hey, guys, this time,
I'll smash Instagram. Come on.
[air rushing]
Uh, what's going on?
Zero?
- [air rushing]
- [Sharif gasping]
- Why didn't you answer?
- I did. Maybe you didn't hear me.
You talk, but we can't hear you.
And now, even the phone's cameras crash
when you disappear.
Like a mental screen?
[Sharif] Okay.
Now that we know how it works,
here's the plan.
[disco music plays]
Dealers have many decks,
all the same, new.
They open them in front of the players.
Zero, you'll steal one.
[male vocalist sings wordless]
[air rushing]
Then you enter as an invisible man,
and you'll put us on the list.
Then Momo and I get in.
You'll watch our back, bro.
While Sara and I play at the tables.
- And we screw them, one by one.
- It won't work.
- Why not?
- [Omar] Sara's right.
What if there are already four kings
in your hand and on the table?
- Thanks.
- [Sharif] That's right.
You check the other players' cards.
If there are doubles, you tap my shoulder.
I pass, and we try again.
Check.
Why can't I say "pass"?
Let's go there and look like idiots
- [Sharif] It's got nothing
- I'm not going to jail!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Guys! Who cares if he checks or passes?
- And the money?
- [Sharif] Well, the money
- We'll use our money.
- [Sara laughs]
Do you mean my money?
The money for the rent.
- Yes.
- No, guys. No way.
Come on, Sara. I beg you.
Do it for your little brother.

What can I do? I'm not Tony Stark.
Please, tell Sharif and Sara

Holy shit, Zero.

- I don't know.

I thought you didn't want to come.
Why are you here?
I've been asking myself the same thing.
Shall we get out of here?
Yes!

Okay. Okay.
Sorry, gentlemen.

You've won too much tonight.
[music stops]
Can you empty your pockets, please?
Sure. [clears his throat]
- Clean.
- He has nothing.
You won too much anyway.
Is that a problem?
Is it a problem I won too much?
Honey, now we can go.
No. You're not going anywhere.
Don't touch me, please.
- This suit cost more than you.
- Guys! Guys!
Why fighting?
[laughing]
Let's be friends. Come here. Come. Come.

Not really, bro.
We weren't close.
I won.
Even without Zero.

Ten thousand for the Barrio,
and the rest for the crew.
