Until Life Do Us Part (2021) s01e05 Episode Script

NETFLIX PRESENTS
You know that 30 years ago today,
we spent the night together
for the very first time.
It was July 8th.
The World Cup Final was that day.
Germany beat Argentina 1-0,
which never should've happened.
Maradona cried. [laughs]
[instrumental music playing on speakers]
This is for you.
Open it.
I took that photo of you that day.
[bell rings]
[rock 'n' roll music playing]
"Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
What?
It's from Dirty Dancing,
have you seen that movie?
Oh, right.
- Has anybody told you, you look like
- The main character.
You'd be the first. Today. [chuckles]
You don't happen to know where
the drawing class is, do you? Room 101?
Uh, it's that one on the left, Baby.
- My name's Vanessa.
- [chuckling lightly]
I think I'm in love.
Who's the lucky girl this time, Vasco?
Oh, you're drawing her, man.
[scoffs] Yeah, she looks like
the girl in that film.
What film?
You know. What's it called?
- 9½ Weeks?
- No, dude.
- Haven't you seen any other films?
- No.
- I've seen other films, but that
- She doesn't look anything like that girl.
She doesn't look like her,
but she does similar things.
- [chuckles]
- Have you seen that ass?
[chuckles]
And those tits.
And that mouth.
Look at her mouth. Oh, my God.
- I'm in love. Oh, I'm in love.
- Shut up and draw, man.
I've never been so in love. Ah.
I'm in love. I'm in
Do you know where she's going?
Do you know where she's going, Daniel?
- Look what I bought.
- After the World Cup, and we
- [excitedly] And Oh, yeah.
- Yeah. Shh.
- She's coming with us.
- All right.
[Vasco sighs]
[bell rings]
[whimsical music playing]
- Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
- [book thuds]
Sorry. Oh.
Sorry. Can I have a word with you?
- I'm really late, I'm sorry.
- I'll be real quick.
Okay.
See my friend over there?
His name's Daniel.
He's talking to his girlfriend.
He and I were thinking about
taking a trip to America
right after the World Cup finals.
We wanted to know if you'd be interested
in going on a road trip
with two strangers.
[both laugh]
You gotta be kidding.
- No, I'm 100% serious.
- Okay.
Okay, the answer is no.
[chuckles]
[gasps] It's not 9½ Weeks at all.
It's the other one, of course.
The other one where they dance together.
At the end, he lifts her up in the air,
that dance routine
they've been working on all summer.
- She's rich, he's a loser
- Sure, man.
You're the second guy
to make that comparison today.
- Who was the first? Tell me.
- Look, I really am late, sorry.
My book?
A Business Management book. Seriously?
Well, not all of us can afford luxuries.
Huh. And the trip? Are you in?
Come on, let's go get a coffee
so I can try to convince you.
- Say yes.
- I don't know your name.
My name's Vasco.
Okay. Only if you lift me up
in the air like Patrick Swayze.
- [laughs]
- [chuckles]

I'm staying on this stop ♪
Yes ♪

[upbeat jingle playing on TV]
- [knock on door]
- [man 1 in English] It's good?
Hey, Gascoigne, give me one.
[knocking at door]
[indistinct chatter over TV]
[man 2] Baby! Hey.
What, I don't exist, huh?
[Vasco] Why aren't you wearing
a shirt for your team?
- You know what my favorite team is.
- They've started drinking.
- [laughing] Oh!
- [man 3] What's up? What's up?
[Vasco] Look at this!
- This is Vanessa.
- [man 3] How's it going?
- Here you have Maradona, Careca.
- Hey.
Klinsmann, Gascoigne.
And I, of course,
am the great Roger Milla.
Right. And I'm the only woman. [chuckles]
Don't worry. Don't worry.
The others are coming later.
And this is Baggio. Baggio.
You know him from school.
- Where are the beers?
- Couldn't find a single one.
They're over there. I'll get 'em.
Come on, let's take a picture.
- Don't you have a shirt? Hang on.
- No, what about you?
No, don't worry. You see?
Look, now it's like I just scored a goal.
You know? Put it on. Go ahead.
Guys. Guys, let's take
our traditional group photo.
Daniel, camera. Go, go.
[man 1] Come on. Game's about to start.
It's gonna be a good one today.
[man 2] Come on!
- Come on. Bring your beer.
- Guys.
[man 2] Get in here.
[man 1] That guy went to the kitchen
and didn't bring beer.
[man 2] Picture time.
- [Daniel] Get closer together.
- [Vasco] Come on, Vanessa, you too.
- Baggio, hurry up.
- Here I am.
- [man 1] Let's go.
- Put the beer down. Get over here.
Cameroon, I wanna hear you say Cameroon.
[all] Cameroon! Cameroon!
- Cameroon!
- [camera shutter clicks]
[fading] Cameroon! Cameroon!
- Deutschland! Deutschland!
- [Vasco laughing]
[man 1 laughing]
Man, one penalty
and this is how you celebrate?
- I've never seen him at the arts school.
- He's in community college.
Those guys don't need a lot to be happy.
Hey, why do so many hookers
hang around community college?
- That's where they find clients.
- Ah.
[man 2] I read something amazing.
You know a hooker saved van Gogh?
- Yeah.
- [Vasco] Wow.
So the guy threatened
Toulouse-Lautrec with a knife
and ended up
mutilating himself. [chuckles]
Where does the hooker come in?
Crazy old Van cut his ear off
after getting angry with Toulouse-Lautrec,
wrapped up the ear,
and gave it to a hooker.
And the hooker took the ear to the police
who found him at home bleeding out.
Imagine if him
and Toulouse-Lautrec weren't friends.
It wasn't Lautrec, man, it was Gauguin.
[man 2] Oh, that's right.
They were both Impressionists.
They worked side by side.
Uh, worked on the same themes,
painted the same subjects.
They were birds of a feather.
And boom, friends had an argument,
crazy old Van Careful with that.
Ended up minus an ear.
I bet it was Lautrec that cut his ear off.
- [Vanessa] Gauguin.
- [man 2] Hey, you get that going.
Well, you're taking forever with it.
[rock music playing on speakers]
- Oh. You're asking my permission? Really?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
[mocks whimpering]
- Go on, light it up.
- [man 2] Okay, let's go.
"Nobody puts Roger Milla in a corner."
- Give me that.
- [Vasco] Oh, yeah.
[man 3] It's good, right?
It's what I like to see.
[man 4] You were lucky
not to come up against Italy in the final.
[man 1] Baggio!
[man 4] If you'd had to face Italy
in the final, you'd be dead.
- [Vasco] Come on. What?
- [man 1] Where's he going?
[camera shutter clicking]
[man 1] Eh. Let him go.
You forget about your girlfriend?
[Daniel] Thank you.
So why do you think people at parties
always hang out in the kitchen?
[Daniel] Don't know.
Could be something ancestral.
Because of the oven or something.
It was the warmest part of the house.
Or could be because
you're close to the fridge.
[both chuckle]
You and Vasco are almost on your way.
You excited?
We've never talked about that.
We've never talked about anything.
- Are you upset?
- Nah.
If I didn't know Vasco, I'd be upset.
But since I know what a jerk he can be,
I'm not that bothered about it.
That doesn't mean
it didn't hurt your feelings.
You were supposed to go together.
I showed up,
and then you went your separate ways.
Nah.
We're all good. It's your trip now.
You can go with Francisca one day.
- Francisca?
- What's wrong?
I broke up with Francisca.
Since when?
- Do you want a precise date for that?
- Yeah.
Oh. Since Cameroon-Romania.
Two goals by Milla.
Wow.
Daniel's been single
for a month and no one knew.
You say that like it's a big deal.
It's a big deal to me.
[soft piano music playing]
How many people will mistake you
for that girl in the movie in America?
That movie's so bad.
Patrick Swayze's much older than her.
He must be twice her age.
He's only got three settings.
Bad boy, angry or total slimeball.
- He taught her to dance on a bridge.
- [both laugh]
Why is she called Baby?
Probably because of that scene, remember,
where she's literally sitting in a corner.
[both laugh]
I'm gonna to tell you a secret.
What?
- [softly] It's my favorite movie.
- [laughing]
[in normal voice] If you
tell anyone, I'll kill you.
No. [laughs]
I've gotta go drag
Vasco's dead weight back home.
I'm gonna go get a drink
at Carlito's later.
- Okay, bye.
- Bye.
[sighs]
[clears throat]
[guitar strumming]
[chuckles softly]
You're in love, aren't you?
[music playing softly on speakers]
- With your camera.
- Mm. Sure. It's Japanese.
- I guess I prefer Asians.
- Me too, man.
- [camera shutter clicks]
- This was made in Tokyo in the '70s.
[chuckles] Cheap, but the sound
is just incredible.
- Can you play "Hungry Eyes"?
- [chuckling] Sure.
Hungry eyes ♪
[chuckling] It's too high
for my voice. I can't.
- [chuckling] I can't do it.
- [hums "Hungry Eyes"]
Do you know who really can sing?
Marco Paulo?
[chuckles] No. Vanessa, man.
Really. I couldn't believe it
when I heard her sing.
That girl is full of hidden talents.
Yeah. You should
get yourself someone like that.
Oh, I already have.
[chuckles]
You know what they say
about photographers in art school, right?
They all end up
being wedding photographers?
- [both chuckle]
- Over my dead body.
[man 1] You be careful. [chuckles]
Hungry ♪
[both] Hungry eyes ♪
[man on TV] parrot fish
I caught this morning.
[woman on TV] The fish are dying
in Vila Franca de Xira.
Since the end of August,
these people's boats are only being used
to clean the pollution in the water.
But that doesn't seem
to slow down the rate
["Hungry Eyes" instrumental playing]
[no audible dialogue]
[woman on TV] Why are all the fish dying?
[man on TV] No, ma'am.
Nobody tells us where they are.
Nobody tells us where they're going.
[woman on TV] Have you spoken to anyone,
tried to find out? What'd they tell?
[man on TV] I don't know
how much more help I can be, but
- Are you kidding?
- That was a penalty.
- Had to be.
- What penalty?
They were just fouls.
Are you kidding me with that?
- Bye.
- There had to be.
[both continue indistinctly]
[captivating instrumental music playing]
No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.
[camera lens whirring]
[camera shutter clicks]
[woman] Hold on, how long has it been?
- A year?
- [woman] More like two.
- A year and a half.
- [woman] What are you guys waiting for?
[Vanessa sighs]
I don't know. Maybe we go at
a different pace than other couples. Hmm?
Anyway, I'm meeting
his parents next weekend.
[woman] Wow. Are you nervous?
I'd be more nervous
if he were meeting my parents.
[woman] Why?
Look, Daniel's amazing.
And on top of that, he adores you.
You could even be the daughter
of Saddam Hussein and Jane Fonda.
- [Vanessa] What's wrong with Jane Fonda?
- [woman] Uh, aerobics.
Seriously?
Look, it's really bad for pregnant women.
No, Vanessa, I'm not pregnant.
But I'm planning to study gynecology.
Ugh.
[woman] What's the problem
with your parents?
So, my parents are wedding planners.
Daniel's classmates teased him
for wanting to be a photographer.
[woman] Oh. A wedding photographer.
- [Vanessa] The lowest of the low.
- [woman] I see.
Last time I saw you, you were dressed like
an African soccer player.
Actually, that's not true.
That's the last time
you remember seeing me.
[woman] I'm Marta.
Last time you saw me
you were blackout drunk.
[rock song playing on speakers]
- How are you?
- [Vasco] Really well.
- I'm great. As you can see.
- [Vanessa] Hmm.
We watched Mansell
win the Estoril Grand Prix.
[Marta] What about Senna?
Where did he come in?
- I just love Senna.
- He came in third.
Yesterday we went to see
Michael Jackson in Alvalade.
[Marta] Did he sing "Man in the Mirror"?
No, we had to leave before the end.
Isabel wasn't feeling well
Hmm. Shame.
That's a perfect song for you.
[scoffs] Yeah.
Now why would you say that?
It says something like
If you want to change the world,
take a look at yourself.
Wow, cute. That's very cute.
Burn.
I almost forgot that
you were the one who broke up with me.
Didn't you know?
I got traded for my best friend.
[Marta chuckles softly]
[Vasco] Good old Daniel.
How is he?
Is he a famous photographer yet?
What do you want, Vasco?
I still have those tickets
to the US, remember?
Why don't you take Isabel?
Isabel is French.
The French don't do well in the US.
Take this.
That's my number.
Use it.
[Marta] Each to their own and all that,
but that was seriously the guy
you left to be with Daniel?
[Marta sighs lightly]
[brakes squeal]
[engine stops]
[hand brake cranks]
You're so tense.
Relax. It's gonna be fine.
You didn't tell me
your parents were millionaires.
Oh. It's old money.
And rotten.
So old, man.
Hello, I'm Vanessa.
It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
Vanessa, this is Gertrude.
She's been working here
since I was little.
- Oh.
- Give me a kiss, Gertrude.
Let's go.
Vanessa, these are my parents.
- Hello, son.
- Mom.
- [Vanessa] Hello.
- How are you?
[Vanessa] Good.
Look at my silk rug I bought in Esfahan!
Gertrude!
[Gertrude] What were those kids thinking?
[operatic music
playing softly on speakers]
Can you pass the salt, please?
- What?
- The salt.
- [Vanessa] Mm.
- [bell rings]
[footsteps approaching]
Bring another salt shaker. And hurry up.
Did Dad shoot this pheasant?
Speak up, Daniel.
Why are you always muttering?
I'm not muttering.
This is my normal voice.
I shot this pheasant
very early this morning.
Got him right in the chest.
My best shot yet, isn't that right, Jonas?
[chuckles]
[footsteps approaching]
It's not for me. It's for Mr. Bacelar.
[Vanessa sighs]
Thanks very much.
And, Miss Vanessa,
what do you do for a living?
Please don't tell me you're like my son
and you've chosen
the bohemian life of an artist.
[loudly] Actually, Vanessa is
studying Business Management, Dad.
[Danie's mom] You're shouting, Daniel.
Business Management, huh? Good for you.
Maybe that way you'll make enough money
to pay for the Persian rug
you just ruined.
I didn't mean to. I didn't know
[Daniel's mom] Speak up,
for the love of God.
Nobody can hear you
when you mutter like that.
- I was saying that I didn't know that
- [bell rings]
Am I going to have to
clear the table myself as well?
Gertrude.
[Daniel's dad] You can't get
good staff these days. They, um
- And how is the villa?
- [Daniel's dad] Just as we left it.
We are looking for someone
to take good care of it,
someone with business
and management experience.
Like your friend over here, for instance.
Vanessa is my girlfriend, Dad.
What villa are you talking about?
It's our family's villa back home.
[sighs] It's been in the family
for five generations.
Unfortunately, your father
is too busy shooting at ducks every day
to find a good caretaker,
or at least someone competent.
I love that villa. You know that.
[Daniel's dad chuckles]
That would be something,
Daniel in charge of all that.
And what would you do there?
Set up a photography studio? [laughs]
A photography studio
for the poor. [chuckles]
- Oh.
- Now that misfortune is so fashionable.
You really let them
speak to you like that?
Uh
[bell rings]
Ugh! Stop ringing that fucking bell!
[Vanessa sighs in exasperation]
[whimsical music playing]
[chuckles]
[both laughing]
[Daniel] Vanessa.
- Vanessa, stop. I told you my parents
- I have to leave, I'm sorry.
- It's gonna be a difficult to get a taxi.
- I'll take my chances.
You're barefoot.
Fuck this.
[thunder rumbling]
[sighs wearily]
[doorbell ringing]
[knocking at door]
[door opens]
[panting]
I need a shower.
I don't want to talk about it.
[sighs]
[door closes]
[objects clattering]
[Vanessa sighs]
[exhales]
- I spent the night
- You don't have to
You first.
I spent the night at Marta's.
I needed to be alone.
Will you marry me?
Okay.
[serene instrumental music playing]
But I have to tell you something.
Okay.
[sighs]
My parents are poor.
Okay.
They've got a restaurant
that's always in the red.
Okay.
And they plan weddings.
I think the moment calls for this.
[camera shutter clicks]
[pop music playing]
[woman singing in Portuguese]
[no audible dialogue]
[inaudible conversation]
[Daniel sighs]
[in English] What?
You have no idea
what just happened. [sighs]
What?
- I sold my first photo.
- You idiot!
I sold my first photo!
- Are you trying to kill me? You're trying!
- [laughing]
Oh, that's great!
Calm down, calm down, calm down.
It's a small gallery,
the commission is small too.
It means I won't have to become
a prostitute to pay for our wedding.
- No, don't go that far.
- Oh, that's great.
- I have an idea what to do with the money.
- What? Tell me.
- Are we gonna have lunch at your parents'?
- Yeah.
- [Luísa] Hello, my darling.
- [Daniel] Hey.
- [Vanessa] Come here.
- [Luísa] It's so good to see you.
- Are you good?
- [Daniel] How are you?
- You've grown. You're taller, young man.
- [Daniel chuckles]
- Let me through.
- So where's Dad been?
[Luísa] He's outside,
punching life in the face.
What's going on?
[Luísa] What's going on is that
I'm really worried about him.
With all of the punches
that man has given and taken,
I'm afraid he'll start losing his mind
and hallucinating or something like that.
You know, like that
American boxer that lost his mind.
- Oh, take these, dear.
- I'll take those.
Let's have lunch
and talk about your wedding. Huh?
Your sister and I want to hear everything.
- Okay. Take these and I'll get my dad.
- No, don't worry, I'll go.
- [Joaquim grunting]
- [chain rattling]
So, is it true
that boxing helps reduce stress?
[Joaquim chuckles]
[Joaquim] Ah, when I was still fighting,
that word didn't exist, "stress."
- [both chuckle]
- Yeah. Yeah.
Now I think I know what it means, huh?
[both chuckling lightly]
One day, I'll teach you to box.
- Huh?
- Oh.
No, no, no, no.
I'd rather smoke myself to death.
Well, they say it's useful
in desperate times.
And desperate times
call for desperate measures.
- Huh?
- What measures?
[sighs]
The business,
it's only going to make it
through this summer.
Then we'll just have to
pay off our debts and swallow our pride.
- [clicks tongue] Stop worrying so much.
- Ah.
What if I told you
I had a way to turn the situation around?
[indistinct chatter]
Hello. As you all know,
I don't like
official ceremonies that much.
Like weddings.
[chuckles] Or bachelorette parties.
But this is my bachelorette party.
- [all cheering]
- [Vanessa laughs]
[rock music playing]
[all cheering]
If I die early, seem to fade ♪
If you want to be you
Just come with me ♪
I wanna ♪
So what is this ♪
Sorry.
[man] Vanessa.
[chuckling] Vanessa.
[sighs] Please do not tell me
that I sang well, all right?
Singing on stage
in front of a lot of people,
that would give anyone stage fright.
That wasn't it.
Then what?
How do you know
that you're doing the right thing?
Oh.
You, for example, you're single,
you like being single,
you don't get attached to anyone.
How do you know that's what you want?
It's funny that people see me like that.
It must be because of my clothes.
Honestly, I get attached to everything.
Too much, in fact.
That's why I avoid relationships.
They crush me.
- I understand.
- [chuckles softly]
What was I like before this,
when I was going out with Vasco?
Was I more joyful?
More enthusiastic? Less dull?
No, no, no, you've never been dull.
I feel tamed, you know?
Mm, like I've been put in a cage.
- What did Daniel do to you?
- Nothing.
My parents' business was failing
and Daniel offered to help.
But it's not that.
Things are changing so fast.
But change can be painful.
Particularly when it requires
a big commitment.
[solemn piano music playing]
- So how do I know this is what I want?
- You don't. You can't know.
[chuckles] It's like me and my guitars.
I have five,
but my favorite one is the first.
That old one, the '74 Yamaha.
It's not the best.
It's not the most expensive.
But it's the one that was with me
through good and bad times.
Hmm.
- Anyway, did that help you at all?
- Hmm. A little bit.
[chuckles]
- No.
- [Daniel] No?
- No.
- It's not a favor.
- It's a rental.
- What?
And how are you gonna pay for it?
With your photography studio for the poor?
Is that it?
Here's the rent
for the first three months.
- How did you
- No, no, no. Doesn't matter how I got it.
- There's more where that came from.
- Are you sure?
I've never been more sure
of anything in my life.
You will regret this.
Maybe not right now,
but probably in a few years. Who knows?
In 25 years or something.
Don't worry about that, Dad.
[clock ticking]
[distorted chatter]
[Vanessa] I want a divorce.
[static crackling]
[gasps]
[solemn piano music playing]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[upbeat music playing on speakers]
I thought Marta would come with you.
I don't want anything, thanks.
You called me at work. What do you want?
- I heard you're getting married.
- You heard?
You turned up at my bachelorette party.
[scoffs] That wasn't a bachelorette party.
It wasn't. I hate those things.
So do I. And I also think
you're making the wrong decision.
Oh, come on. You and I are friends now?
- Marta was busy and sent you in her place?
- I don't give a damn about Marta.
I got involved with her
to get closer to you.
- I'm crazy for you.
- Enough of your bullshit.
- We haven't spoken in two years
- You didn't return my calls.
- I was with Daniel. I am with him.
- You were? Are you happy with him?
- What does that matter to you?
- Still thinking of me?
- I's not too late for us.
- Oh, fuck off, Vasco.
[Vasco] Vanessa!
Vanessa, talk to me, please.
Vanessa, wait.
Vanessa, talk to me.
Vanessa. Vanessa, wait.
Vasco, leave me alone!
We had plans.
We had plans, Vanessa, and you ran away.
- I made a decision.
- But you came back, didn't you?
- That night, you came back.
- That was a mistake.
How do you know it won't happen again?
How do you know
that every time you think of your life,
the little life you've chosen,
how do you know you won't feel
like you let yourself down?
Please don't
[solemn piano music playing]
[Vanessa] You betrayed Daniel.
You were friends
and you were going on a trip.
[Vasco] No. No. I didn't betray Daniel.
I went after
what was most important to me.
You.
Don't do it.
Be with me.
We'll go to America.
We'll go wherever you want.
We'll go tomorrow. We'll go today.
We'll go now. Let's go now.
I'll lift you up in the air
like Patrick Swayze does in the movie.
[retches, vomits]
[grunts]
[Vanessa coughing]
[upbeat jazz music playing]
[serene instrumental music playing]
[Vanessa chuckles]
[upbeat jazz music playing]
[Vanessa sighs]
You look so beautiful. [chuckles]
I'm terrified of all this.
- I never apologized for being
- No, It's fine.
- What's important is that you're here.
- Hmm.
And that she's here too.
- [laughing]
- Yeah.
[exhales sharply]
[both laugh]
[exhales]
[indistinct chatter]
- Who's that weirdo sitting over there?
- Don't know.
His name is Mário. I got him last minute.
He used to be a primary school teacher,
and now he does weddings.
- [laughs]
- What?
- Mário, who now does weddings?
- [laughs]
Oh, and that kid over there is his son,
his name is Dário.
[both laughing]
Oh, I'm so nervous.
- Of course.
- [exhales]
You aren't supposed to see the bride
before the ceremony.

[exhales]
["Hungry Eyes" instrumental playing]

[both laugh]
Okay.

- Mm-hmm.
- This is your dance space.

- Okay.
[Vanessa chuckling]
