Diary of a Gigolo (2022) s01e05 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
[pensive music playing]
Why's my notebook here?
That's yours?
This dog bites everything.
He must have gotten into this,
but don't worry,
if he ruined something, I'll replace it.
- What's wrong?
- I had lost it.
I couldn't find it.
It was in the bag you left.
- So Lino had it this whole time?
- Well
mystery solved.
What's in there?
Drawings, notes.
Nothing important.
Do you know you're incredible?
[dramatic music playing]
[knock on door]
Hi, honey.
Uh, I asked Rosa to make me dinner,
but we can go out if you want.
I already ate.
Mmm.
- Where were you?
- I was studying.
With the friend
who brought you home the other day?
What's his name again?
Know what? I'm gonna shower.
[intriguing music playing]
[knock on door]
- [Emanuel] Everything okay?
- [Florencia] You tell us.
[Minou] Can we come in?
- Please.
- [Minou] How kind.
- Flor caught you with someone.
- No. She followed me.
No. Florencia caught you
with Ana Miró Sanz's daughter.
I was doing my job. I didn't follow you.
I went to deliver a piece to Ana's house,
and I saw her family pictures. [scoffs]
What a beautiful family.
You're with the mom and the daughter.
It doesn't affect my job.
I don't need to explain myself.
It does interfere with your job!
So, yes,
you owe us an explanation, Emanuel.
Tell me.
Have you told the girl
how it feels to have sex with her mom?
- What gives you the right to judge?
- You're fucking up the business.
- [Emanuel] Shut up.
- [Florencia] I won't shut up!
- You're so annoying.
- [Minou] Both of you, shut up!
You and you, shut up!
I can't believe this, Emanuel.
It's not professional
for you to get involved
with the daughter of a client.
It's bad for business. Tell me something.
What am I going to tell Ana? Tell me.
She knows.
That's why I distanced myself.
- Wow.
- [Minou scoffs] How about that?
[angrily] Why am I the last one to hear
what's going on with my business?
- Tell me.
- [Florencia] Where did you meet her?
Honestly, it was a coincidence.
I went to inquire
about a course at the art school,
I saw her,
and I asked her out for a drink.
When I realized who she was,
I spoke to Ana,
and we distanced ourselves.
I can't believe the stupidity
of what you're saying, Emanuel.
Goddamn it.
So, instead of ending things
when you discovered who she was,
you had the brilliant idea,
the brilliant idea of hiding it from me.
And then you talked to Ana directly.
Did you fall in love?
I don't know if
I'm more hurt
by your lack of professionalism,
or that you did it behind my back.
This has nothing to do with you,
to be honest.
My feelings for Julia are strong,
and I can't stop them.
[Florencia] He fell in love.
[somber music playing]
Okay.
Tell me something.
She doesn't mind your profession?
She doesn't mind that you and her mom
Huh? Please.
She doesn't know, right?
She doesn't know.
Emanuel, Goddamn it.
This is a serious problem.
I can't believe it.
I'm sorry, you "can't believe it"?
- "A serious problem"?
- Yes.
Mom, he's getting us into
a massive problem.
- He's putting everything in danger.
- What else can I say?
- [yelling] Say something!
- Stop!
Please.
I appreciate your advice,
but, if you wouldn't mind,
I'd like to, for the first time,
do what I want to do.
Is that possible or not?
[menacing music playing]
[Minou] I hope this isn't the first
in a chain of mistakes.
This type of gossip,
of shit, spreads like fire.
And our business
is based on trust, in case you forgot.
I hope this doesn't affect your job.
Idiot.
[menacing music continues]
You're a traitor.
[door slams shut]
- [tools clanking and whirring]
- It was time.
One at night to have fun,
one in the morning to study.
[in English] Have a nice trip, babe.
[in Spanish] Hey, wait for me at the bar.
Why didn't you tell me?
I would expect that
from anyone except you.
What are you talking about?
I found my diary in the books I gave you.
- Did you read it?
- Your diary?
Julia, I told you, I didn't open your bag.
- I mean
- You know it's important.
Hey. I'm ready to go deep.
I want to try it.
That sensibility.
With that conviction, safety is important.
- [Emanuel] Hi.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Better.
Want to take a walk?
Where?
Shall we improvise?
[pounding dance music playing]
HORMONAL FURY
See you.
[pounding dance music continues]
[music stops]
[somber music playing]
My profession doesn't make me a criminal.
If you want to scrutinize Emanuel,
my daughter, or me,
it's only because of prejudice
and discrimination against my job.
You do know pimping is a crime, right?
If that's why I'm here,
there are many people in power
who can tell you
that what I do is important.
No, that's not why you're here.
We want to know what relationship
you had with Ana Miró Sanz.
[Minou] Ana, Ana, Ana! Ana, please.
I'm so embarrassed.
Now I know
why you wanted to replace Emanuel.
- I know everything.
- What do you know?
About Emanuel and your daughter.
I swear, Ana, never before
have my employees gotten involved
in my clients' personal lives.
Especially you, who I consider a friend.
Please, I hope you don't think
I had anything to do with this.
I know! I know!
But you can imagine how I feel
since I always try to keep
my private life away from all of this.
[softly] No, no, no.
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
I'm going to help you, absolutely.
I appreciate it, but no.
I'm going to let the chips
fall where they may.
[dramatic note plays]
Yes, Ana and I got into an argument
because we had some differences.
But if we were both men,
you'd call us impulsive, right?
But because we are women, we're what?
Crazy? Witches?
Which word would you prefer?
[laughing] Huh?
It's not about that.
- No?
- You don't have to be defensive.
Ah.
We're interviewing those who knew Ana
so we can better understand her last days.
Hello?
Can you tell your ex-secretary
to stop messing with my car?
She scratched it.
Do you want to tell her or should I, hmm?
Hi, honey! Happy birthday!
Look, I brought you flowers
and the cake you love.
Thank you.
That's the first present.
I also have one for tonight.
I don't need anything.
[Rosa] This was
left at the door with a card.
[Julia] Ah.
[chuckling]
"I love you always. Víctor."
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
[Ana] How original.
- [Julia] Thank you, Rosa.
- [Rosa] Honey.
- I have to go to school.
- Should I take you?
- [Julia] No, no worries.
- [both] No, no, no!
[Víctor] No, let me take her.
Where are you going? I brought cake.
[Minou] What's wrong?
I want you to look happy!
I don't want to see sadness
in anyone's eyes or anything like that.
I don't want to see that.
Now, your personal agendas.
Abel, you need to be available
the second weekend of this month.
You're going to Buenos Aires
with Beatriz Gonzada.
Of course.
Can you bring me alfajores?
With dulce de leche, please.
- Tomás.
- Yes.
You have a 7:00 p.m. today with
Ofelia Sagasti. A car will pick you up.
And Valeria Parra this Saturday.
- Those are Emanuel's clients.
- Those are our clients,
and you will take care of them now.
Is that a problem?
- If that's all, I'm leaving.
- You have a date in an hour.
- My agenda is clear.
- It's not.
Yes, she's a new client
so she wasn't in the agenda.
What? Are you being like Tomás?
You don't want to?
Did we ruin your plans?
Give me the info.
Bye.
[phone ringing]
- Arturo.
- [on phone] Sorry, Víctor, it's urgent.
I have to tell you the latest
from Gabriel Molina.
What did that asshole do now?
You're useless.
So useless.
Is it so hard to apply old-school rules?
What do you mean you don't know?
The one with the biggest dick
calls the shots.
I know that's not cool,
but it's about time you know
how things are managed at the lab.
I don't care.
You should care
now that you're turning 20.
Now you can, as the statutes say,
manage your share, your money.
Besides, you can be a part
of making decisions at the lab,
and all of that.
Ana and you do agree on something.
You don't think
I'm serious about art, right?
If it's what you want,
go for it.
You're different. Something changed.
Anything you want to tell me?
No.
[piano tune playing on speaker]
[in English] Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday, Miss Julia ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
[all clapping]
- [in Spanish] Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.
Was that necessary?
You know I don't like attention.
I don't want people
to know it's my birthday.
Too late. I told Emanuel.
What was his surprise?
He didn't come.
[dark music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[woman sighs and giggles]
You were available this time. I got lucky.
Is everything okay?
Something happen?
- No.
- No?
Everything is very okay, Laura.
[both laughing]
Except my name is Verónica.
- I'm so sorry.
- It doesn't matter.
Today, neither of us is who we are.
I'm Laura.
[dark music continues]
[soft romantic music playing]
- Hey.
- Where were you?
Preparing a surprise for you.
Hmm, really?
- Happy birthday, my love.
- Thank you.
I love you.
- Did I say something wrong?
- No.
Where's the surprise?
Come, I'll show you.
[romantic music continues]
- Aw!
- Do you like it?
Yes!
It's so nice!
[Emanuel] The balloons?
The balloons and the bike.
[Emanuel] Let's take it for a spin.
[Julia] It's so nice.
["Progress" by OWEL playing]
Now I'll count up to ten ♪
Without a single thought ♪
[song continues playing]
[Emanuel] Hey, it was supposed to be
to the door, but we passed it.
Well, I meant the other door.
The "door" door.
Which door?
[Julia] Are you nervous?
Uh, no. No, I just
thought I knew what a door is.
I don't want you to go yet.
I don't want to go, but
I don't want you to be uncomfortable.
Don't worry. Over here.
Hi! Happy birthday.
Víctor Lubos.
- Emanuel Morillo, nice to meet you.
- My pleasure.
My mom's husband, my schoolmate.
Great. What were you doing?
[both] Strolling.
Great, so you're staying for dinner.
I was just dropping her off.
- You should stay!
- Why not?
[Ana] Víctor! Víctor!
This is Emanuel.
- I know him.
- Really? From where?
- Julia introduced us weeks ago.
- Yes.
- [Víctor] Ah, yes?
- Yes.
[Víctor] I was late that night. So
- Are you staying?
- [dark music playing]
You should bring him over.
You've gone out a lot.
- I wouldn't get your hopes up, Mom.
- [Minou] Mm.
I've had very toxic examples
when it comes to relationships.
Ah! [laughs]
Yes, but my situation
has nothing to do with yours,
so don't compare.
- Besides, he's an engineer.
- "He's an engineer."
- [Florencia] I knew it.
- Come on, he's an engineer.
So what, Mom?
I don't understand why
being an engineer makes him special.
Because he can give you stability,
and he can take care of you.
Tell me his name.
His name is "engineer."
[Minou] You're so annoying.
Mommy, this isn't going anywhere.
I only want a good time, to have fun.
Good sex.
That's it.
Trust me, you don't want more than that.
With Emanuel,
there are enough people in love
in this family.
Tell me his name
Please, tell me his name.
Maybe his name is Pablo
His name is Román.
- Okay.
- [menacing music playing]
Hello.
Now that we're alone
and I'm not bothering your clients,
I hope you're nicer to me.
Okay, okay, I went too far.
- But it was your fault.
- "Too far"? You went to hell.
Not only did you threaten me,
but my gambling hall was shut down.
No, that's not on me.
That's the risk of the business.
- [both arguing]
- [Román angrily] Risk, my ass.
I don't give a fuck
about the powerful people
who owe you favors.
- [Minou] If
- If you're a piece of shit with me,
I can be one too, and worse.
I'm worried for you.
Stop doing so many drugs.
- Are you fucking with me?
- [Minou yelps]
- Let go!
- You're gonna talk to whoever you need
and get the cops off my ass,
- or I'll kill you, you bitch!
- [Minou groaning]
[yelling] Fuck you, Minou!
[groaning]
Shit.
Our job isn't just the glitz,
the champagne, and the luxury.
It's not all that.
If you only knew
everything I had to give up
how difficult this is,
you'd look at me with more respect.
[Emanuel] I'm not working on a major.
We just take a photography class together.
- [tense music playing]
- [Víctor] How's the wine? Do you like it?
To me, the quality of the wine
goes with the moment,
and this moment is once-in-a-lifetime,
therefore it's amazing. Thank you.
What a great answer.
[tense music continues]
What do you do for a living?
I sell art.
My wife cannot stop buying art.
Nowadays, many who sell art are crooks.
- How do we know you're not?
- Mom, please.
He can defend himself.
He did well with the wine.
You don't have to answer.
She wants to be the center of attention.
Don't worry. It's fine.
Thankfully, I like what I do.
I inherited a company from my parents.
It almost runs itself.
What are your parents' names?
- Maybe Víctor and I know them.
- No, I don't.
No? Hmm.
- [tense music continues]
- You're not eating?
- My stomach is unsettled.
- Then stop drinking.
Don't tell me what to do.
[clears throat] You know,
I love that in this family,
everyone can say whatever they want
at any fucking moment
without hiding anything under the rug.
It's great.
Rosa.
- There's a bug, take it away.
- Ma'am.
[Rosa] Where?
I don't see anything, ma'am.
I'm going to get my glasses.
I can't see it.
And bring another bottle.
Before you judge me
and say it would be best if I worked
at the market carrying bags for pennies,
let me tell you that a life dedicated
to bringing pleasure to others
has irreversible consequences
to your emotional being.
So why keep doing it?
[pensive music playing]
When you like doing something,
it's hard to stop.
Simple as that.
You should try this single malt.
- [phone vibrating]
- [Víctor] Straight, no ice.
Would you excuse me? Sorry.
[Víctor] Go ahead.
Rosa!
[suspenseful music playing]
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU WITH MY FAMILY.
HOW DARE YOU?
LET'S TALK
- Everything okay?
- All good.
My brother Tomás had a problem
with his flight, but nothing serious.
- Mmm.
- Are you having a good time?
I remembered
why I don't like celebrations.
Happy birthday, my little Julia.
Come on.
[Víctor] Hold on.
I'll get the champagne.
Ana.
What are you doing?
Leave me alone.
Can you stop being selfish for one second?
- It's your daughter's birthday.
- [tense music playing]
[all] Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday, dear Julia
Happy birthday to you ♪
Make three wishes.
- [all clap]
- [Rosa] Bravo!
Happy birthday.
[kisses]
[tense music continues]
- Happy birthday, honey.
- [gasps]
What's wrong with you?
[Ana] Sorry.
[suspenseful music playing]
What a great way to end the evening.
Bravo.
I'm sorry about my mom.
I should have warned you.
Looks like she doesn't like surprises.
She doesn't like when I'm happy.
- I don't think that's what it is.
- You don't know her.
She's very different from you.
Thanks for coming anyway.
[suspenseful music continues]
- Don't fail me.
- Never.
I love you.
And I love you.
Why do you always
have to ruin Julia's happy moments?
Don't talk about my family.
- [angrily] Your family?
- Mm-hmm.
Your family?
- My family.
- Why are you like this?
You ask me to bring someone home.
Why? To treat them like this?
That's the first man you've brought here.
You don't have to marry him.
- Now you have advice.
- Yes, you should date around.
- Don't tell me what to do.
- Trust me, I know what's best.
You should listen to me.
- Go, relax.
- [Ana] Mm-hmm.
You should stop turning Julia against me
every chance you get.
- Yeah?
- Mmm.
You should stop drinking.
What I'm saying is that Julia
is old enough to do whatever she wants.
- [Ana] Oh yeah?
- Yes.
- Mmm.
- If she wants to go to the lab, she can.
That's what you're worried about, the lab.
Not at all.
I don't like that man, that's all!
Don't worry so much.
After how you treated him,
he won't be back.
I hope so.
I wish you wouldn't come back.
- [yells] Where are you going?
- Fuck you.
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
- [man] That's how you hold it.
- [woman laughing]
[man] Don't be mean.
[woman giggling] I'm not being mean.
Hold it.
[laughing] I can't
Sorry to interrupt
such a beautiful moment.
[laughing] We finally meet again.
How are you?
- Everything okay?
- Can I talk to my sister?
Yes! Yes, go ahead.
[man coughing]
Can I have my fucking keys, Flor?
I already gave you the fucking keys.
I don't have them.
Your boyfriend is choking.
[Florencia] Everything okay?
This is great.
- Really great.
- [tense music playing]
It's strong.
[tense music continues]
Ana, let's talk, please.
I wanted to leave,
but Julia and Víctor insisted.
No one knows about our agreement.
Call me.
Alcohol doesn't affect me anymore.
Really.
It's like I'm empty inside and out.
I may have something
that can help with that.
[enticing music playing]
[Ana snorting]
[pensive music playing]
[car starting]
[car approaching]
[tires screech]
[ominous music playing]
Sorry about the other day.
We have to talk.
[suspenseful music playing]
[sighs]
- [Emanuel] Good morning.
- Good morning.
- I think we should talk.
- We don't have to.
- I said what I had to say.
- Minou, can we talk like adults?
I don't want to talk! Go away!
[Minou mutters]
- What is that? What happened?
- I hurt myself getting out of a bath.
Did fucking Román do that to you?
[angrily] Yes, it was Román.
I'm going to fix this.
I don't want anyone else to get hurt.
- I'm going to fix it!
- No way!
Don't go near that asshole!
Emanuel, I'm talking to you! Fuck!
My brother was a photographer like you.
When I saw your pictures,
the sensibility of your work,
I knew you were our only way in.
This way.
This is our operations center.
This is Julia. You already know her.
We all have something in common.
Our loved ones died
from consuming Serolixine.
[intriguing music playing]
The pattern was exactly
the same in all cases.
Patients with severe pain
get a prescription,
but, with time, they become dependent,
incapable of breaking free.
We have proof from biochemists,
the drug has a component
that makes it extremely addictive.
[intriguing music continues]
[Gabriel] It suppresses pain,
and it makes you feel good.
It's like a state of elevation
and high focus at the same time,
but with time your body loses control.
You start having tremors,
tingling, anxiety.
Depression, hyperkinesis.
Hypertension.
Your organs get paralyzed,
and you die from a massive heart attack.
But it's a legal drug.
It's a business.
- What can I do?
- Listen.
I'm going to introduce you to Aldo Páez.
He worked at the lab
when your dad was alive.
Okay? Wait here.
I've been waiting for a week
for the filters to be changed.
Bring them, or I will go get them.
Is that clear, motherfucker?
[tense music playing softly]
- [Minou] I'll take it.
- I'll take care of this.
[tense music continues]
Welcome.
I love visitors.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to swim.
That's how you feel powerful, asshole?
Abusing and threatening women?
Minou isn't an angel.
I know her better than you.
You should stay away from her.
As long as you're with her,
things will be shit.
The debt is cleared.
Don't come near Minou.
That's my decision.
The bitch went too far.
She had my hall shut down,
and now I have the cops
and the Tax Administration guys on me.
This doesn't end here, okay?
[yelling] You bitch!
You're going to pay me back
for every cent I lost!
You have to pay me every cent!
If you think you know people,
I know them too, you bitch!
Be careful, because you're going
to get hit when you least expect it,
you fucking bitch.
- Calm down. Calm down.
- Just what I needed.
A guy like you who uses sex
to get money out of women
giving me lessons in morality
and how to treat them. Please.
- Minou, get back in the car.
- No!
No way.
- You're going to listen to me! Huh?
- [laughing]
You want to talk
about taking advantage of people?
You've been taking advantage of me
for years, taking my money.
You chose the life you live, you bitch.
Gambling is the only pleasure you get.
Fuck you, you bitch!
Piece of shit!
- [tense music continues]
- [gun cocks]
Son of a bitch!
You and I could have made a great team.
- Ahh!
- [thuds]
Get up.
- You okay?
- Minou, what did you do?
He was gonna shoot you.
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
- What are we going to do?
- Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.
We're not gonna fuck up our lives
for a piece of shit like that.
- Besides, it was his fault.
- God.
[tense music building]
[somber music playing]
You have a history of violence.
You shot a man.
Wonderful conclusion, congratulations.
I shot a man.
I'm going to tell you the details
because clearly
you didn't do your job
and read my file very well.
I was 23 years old,
and that man tried to rape me.
It was self-defense.
I was tried and found not guilty.
Calm down, I'm only stating the facts.
No, ma'am. That's not it.
You're doing shit and saying shit.
First, you judge me
for what I do, and now this.
I'm not a murderer.
I defended myself
like I've had to all my life
from my father, my brothers,
my clients, and my partners.
Because that's what a woman
has to do in this world, defend herself.
[officer] Let's go.
[dark music playing]
He weighs as much as a whale.
[body thuds]
[suspenseful music playing]
The endorsement of different organizations
clears the lab from any responsibility.
But, as I told Gabriel,
the drug generates a lot of money.
Clean and dirty money.
These are the preliminary studies
from its launch to market.
[Aldo] Your dad knew of them,
and that created a divide in the lab.
Víctor, who was the first to promote it,
underestimated the results,
but, in the end,
Lorenzo didn't move forward with it.
If that's the case, why did the lab
end up producing Serolixine?
Because your father died.
[tense music playing]
- [Minou sighs]
- Thank you for saving my life, Minou.
I always will, Emanuel. You're my family.
Florencia and you are
all that matter to me.
Minou, I promise
I didn't want to lie to you.
I believe you, Emanuel.
I really do.
And you have my approval
to go out with that girl.
But I honestly don't see a future
for your relationship.
Love, Emanuel,
always goes to hell at some point.
Hurry up.
[bittersweet music playing]
[phone vibrating]
Hi, Víctor. Yes. Yes.
No, I am against that.
The results of the contraindications
are clear.
[dark music playing]
- What's this? What's he doing?
- [car revving]
[echoing] Hold on, Julia!
[dark music continues]
What are you doing here?
How did you get in?
I came to break our agreement.
Break up with Julia,
or I'll tell her the truth.
[dramatic music playing]
