45 Revoluciones (2019) s01e06 Episode Script

NETFLIX PRESENTS Do you have the other songs for the album? What album? The one you're recording tomorrow.
Is there a problem? None.
We're making a record! - What do you want? - I want to see Jorge.
I won't send gifts.
Let me see my son.
Make no mistake.
You've never been his father.
Stop treating me like a baby.
The secretaries love receiving flowers from their boyfriends.
Then you should date them.
- Eugenio Vidal, owner of Hispamusic.
- Robert.
So you're the star that's set off this Big Bang.
This Big Bang was set off by your people trying to steal our song.
We can't leave production in your secretary's hands.
She's my right hand.
You want to put a random girl in charge, with my money? We've hired Salvador Quintana.
Let's start.
Perfect.
- How are you feeling, Robert? - Tired.
This is going very slowly.
It's going to be 4 hours long.
Here's the censorship report.
- Did we pass? - All but one.
You can't pull some strings? Censors don't have friends.
We need a new song.
- Salvador, can we talk? - Let us work.
- You're going to do it our way.
- I'll record whatever the fuck I want.
- You're fired.
- You can't fire me.
This is my record, my artist! Get out! - This doesn't end here.
- Now what? We do things right.
We can't get caught.
We broke in.
- And that's at least two felonies.
- I'll take care of you.
What the fuck is happening? Stop! Open up! You can't hear me? Fuck you! - Do you have it? - Yes.
- Grab it.
- Calm down! You didn't give me a choice.
We sound nice together.
It's not bad, it would've been better with a real singer.
I wouldn't change your voice for any other.
Dad? We are very different, but I do know something about music.
I sent it to the factory.
We would not be here if you had let me do it my way.
Are you coming or staying here with the boys? Sometimes I miss the life I had a year ago when I was sure about everything.
- Us, getting married - And now? I don't know.
I don't want to look at you one day and realize - it was all a lie.
- Are you leaving me? I'm sorry.
I wish I could give you better news.
You've pushed it lately and your heart has noticed it.
- You're worse.
- How much? It's hard to say.
45 REVOLUTIONS - How's it going? Are you done? - Signed with all my love.
I hope you have some left because there's more.
I have a lot left.
These are for the press and the networks.
- Alright, and you? - What about me? - You don't want a signed copy? - I like the Sonor's best.
They're ok, but I have a much better producer.
This success is thanks to her.
You should write that on mine, I like how it sounds.
No, I have something even better.
- Let's have dinner tonight, Robert.
- You're eating, me too.
Why don't we do it together? That way we can talk about how great the record's going.
I don't know.
Are you afraid Mr.
banker will be jealous? Whatever Mr.
banker thinks is not my problem anymore.
- Since when? - Since we're no longer together.
- And are you ok? - Yes, it was my decision.
Well, I'm glad you're ok.
- Good morning, Mr.
Zabala.
- Captain! Captain? I was going to ask about Guillermo, but I get the picture.
- Traffic is horrible in the mornings.
- You don't have a car.
Always so picky.
Complaining this early? Early It's 12 pm.
I'll be dead before you learn.
Let's get to work, please.
You too, Maribel.
- Me? - Of course.
You're part of the team.
I think it's time we think about a presentation concert.
- The pictures look great, don't they? - Don't I look handsome? Records are selling quickly and we could fill up the Florida, - or even the Pasapoga.
- No, I want him at the Price.
- At the Price? - Yes, at the next morning show.
- Robert will be the head of the show.
- So, we're back at the Price.
Of course.
That's where I saw you for the first time as a stage-crasher and that's where you'll have your first gig.
I think it's too big.
He's really hot right now.
Did you see how much mail he gets? You're going to have to make room for it.
- I'm ready.
- I think it's too risky, we don't want to burn him up.
Why don't we go for a smaller venue? To reach a rock and roll audience we need to get a rock and roll venue.
We can't go anywhere else.
We need someplace people can dance, feel the music.
The Price is a unique venue and the music sounds great.
We have to give the audience a global and unique experience.
- You've said this is very risky.
- Yes, everything must be perfect.
It will be perfect.
I know, Guillermo.
But I think the Price is too complicated.
It's complicated.
And Robert will turn it around.
OK, I hope you're right.
Maribel, you'll be in charge of sound.
People want to listen to the record's sound, and that was your making.
Sure thing.
Thank you.
- Let's get to work then.
- Yes.
But it's bad luck to shake with the lefthand.
He doesn't need any luck.
- He needs a guitar and a stage.
- C'mon, Zabala! Maribel, a moment? I hope you're aware of the chance I'm giving you.
- Sorry? - You said it yourself: there are roads hard to follow, and this is one of them.
- I don't want distractions at work.
- No, of course.
If something happens, we both know who will pay the price.
It's a bad idea to mix love affairs with work.
Understood.
Yes, sir, the same.
He's the headliner.
- What've you got there? - A present, it's madness.
- So big! Thanks.
See you.
- No problem.
C'mon, you know I'm right.
What do you mean? Robert is the one everyone wants.
I want his name to be the biggest one of all.
- The twins from Albacete, again.
- If they knew you, they would write less.
I know you.
- What did the boss say? - Nothing.
Let's think of the repertoire.
Go rehearse, here's your guitar and I'll call the guys to meet you there.
I have to speak with the sound engineers, send the invites, call the press Guillermo.
Yes, one sec, Miguel Angel.
- Can Nines help me out? - Zabala needs Nines.
Talk to her, there has to be someone else that can give you a hand.
Wait.
Speaking of which, here.
- What's this? - 50.
000 pesetas your boyfriend lent us.
Thank him, please.
He saved us.
I wouldn't lose him.
- I'm back, Miguel Angel.
- Maribel.
I'll bring you the best show you've ever seen.
That boy is pure dynamite.
Trust me.
Marina, we need to find a place for this right away.
Maribel.
Maribel, have you seen this? Nines, are there any available secretaries this week? - I'm overboard with the concert.
- Let me check.
Ok, thanks.
Maribel, I have someone that could help you: Clara, my sister.
- Clara? - She's looking for a job.
She's proud and won't ask for help.
Being proud runs in the family.
A bit.
Hire her? - Robert, she doesn't have experience.
- Please, two days.
That way she'll earn a bit and cheer up.
Do it for me.
You said no to dinner, please say yes to this.
Mari, Josefina is free.
She can help you this afternoon.
That's ok.
I found someone.
Bring her with you to the Price tomorrow.
And now go rehearse.
- You're not coming? - No, I have something important to do.
- Everything ok? - Yes.
Yes.
My partner has ordered 2,200 units.
Yes No.
But, No, we always order 5,000.
- Of course.
No, no, no - Nines, where's Maribel? - She just left.
What's wrong? - Nothing.
- Yes.
No.
Exactly, 5,000 units.
- We have a problem.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Tell me you didn't steal the song we recorded the other day.
Of course not.
You saw me write it in front of you.
- The song is mine.
- To write it on paper doesn't mean it's yours.
According to this complaint, it isn't.
This is absurd.
We've done an album together.
They're originals.
They're like my babies.
Your babies? Let me rephrase: is this baby yours - or does it have another dad? - This is insulting.
I'm not going to let you or anyone question my honor.
- I'm sorry, I'm leaving.
- Ok.
Sorry.
Forgive me.
This letter made me panic.
You really think I could do it? No, it must be someone that wants to take advantage.
Could be.
I never copy.
How would I if all my songs talk about my life and feelings? I put my body and soul into each lyric What? - It's true.
- Yes, I know.
You wear your emotions on your sleeve.
Do you believe me, Guillermo? Of course I do.
Let's have a drink - and forget about it, ok? - Great idea.
"Michael Silverman".
"Mike".
Sorry, Mr.
Diego can't see you now.
Please tell him it's important.
I'm really sorry, he's on a call.
He said to ask if I could help you.
He did? Give him this then.
Ok.
Don't worry, he'll get it.
- Come in.
- Excuse me.
- What did she want? - To deliver this.
- That's it? Nothing else? - No, that's all.
- Are you ok, Mr.
Diego? - No, I'm not, Carmen.
I don't understand anything.
We've been together for 4 years and Four.
I thought we would be together forever, but It's true we've had a rough patch lately.
But, I thought we were over it.
But it seems we're not.
She came the other day and said she was leaving me, she doesn't want lies, that I cheated on her - Did you cheat on her? - No, of course not.
She must have seen me buying the scarf, you wearing it - She thought something out of it.
- I shouldn't have accepted it.
No, Carmen.
I told you that was my way of thanking you - for helping me with bookkeeping.
- Have you thought maybe the scarf was just an excuse? - An excuse? - It's obvious you're a good person.
Any respectable woman would want to be your wife.
She must know you're not a cheater.
Why doesn't she want to be with me then? When I broke up, I said it was because he was far away, but it was really because I was in love with someone else in here.
So, you think Maribel? No, no.
I haven't said that.
But who knows, maybe she had doubts and didn't have courage to do it until now.
I see.
I should go.
Do you need anything else? - No, Carmen.
Thanks.
- Are you sure? I don't mind staying late, no one's waiting for me.
- Sure, go rest.
- Ok.
Ok! This needs more rehearsing, ok? Take two minutes.
- We can't linger between songs.
- We have to tune up.
If you want to sing all the songs, this is it.
Ok, let's get a smoke and relax.
- Maribel, are you ok? - Couldn't be better.
You're nervous about the concert, if you need anything All I need is for everybody to do their job.
Don't be unfair.
The guys are doing their best - and you're taking it out on them.
- What? Is this about Diego? Let's talk about it.
Let's get a drink.
I don't want to talk and don't ever ask me that again.
All I want to do is work, and have a great concert.
Ok.
Then let's rehearse.
But don't be unfair.
We want a great concert too.
From the top, it's going great.
Ok? C'mon everyone.
Let's do it.
- When you're ready, Gabi.
- 1, 2, 3.
- Maribel.
- Go back to bed, Mom.
We waited for you.
What time is this to come home? - I work.
- I was about to call your office.
You can rest now.
If you're going to leave work this late, I think you should call Diego so he can walk you home.
- I'm tired, Mom.
- Now you're tired.
- What are the chances? - Good night, Mom.
What about you and Diego, you should spend more time together.
You're both so caught up in your businesses.
Yes, that's right.
Diego has lots of things.
Sometimes I can't understand a thing you say.
Why don't I call Diego tomorrow and we have lunch on Friday.
Or we'll go out.
- No.
- I'll call Casa Labra.
Why not? - You're not calling anyone.
- It's nothing, dear.
I want to see him.
It's been a while.
That's because we broke up.
You're right.
I should go to bed.
- I'm not in the mood for jokes.
- It's not a joke.
Do you know why? Secrets.
We both had some.
I don't want to end up lying like you do.
Maribel.
Forgive me, I didn't want to.
Please, don't get upset.
Don't be angry.
Guillermo, this place is a mess.
- You need a shelf.
- Never had the time.
- You moved recently? - 2 years ago.
It's cheap.
That's weird, this area is expensive.
- I see.
Can you sleep at all? - I'm used to it.
I couldn't.
Cheers.
Are you going to tell me or do I have to ask? How are rehearsals? Great.
Why do you look so gloomy then? I argued with my Mom.
It wasn't really an argument, but I yelled and she slapped me.
So I don't want to be at home.
I can't stand her.
Don't say that, she's your Mom.
It's hard.
Why does she insist on making it harder? I understand.
- You mother was too? - My father.
- Wow, Guillermo Rojas has a father.
- Who'd say? - Are you like him? - Are you like your mother? Don't change the subject.
Maybe, aren't we all like our parents, like it or not? It bothered him more than me.
He was never home, always out.
"Working.
" Bullshit! He'd rather stay at the bar than come home.
You could tell he wasn't happy with his life.
As for me, well, I guess I was never enough for him.
Whatever I did didn't matter, I always let him down.
He made me feel like shit, fucker.
Anyway, you could say that's why I'm now fighting for Futura to work out.
Fuck! We may owe it all to my father.
Thank you.
Hi Mike.
I've been waiting.
I was starting to think you wouldn't show.
You're thinner.
I haven't been eating much.
- When did you return? - A couple months ago.
- Why are you here? - Why do you think, Ignacio? - We have some unfinished business.
- No we don't.
Running away doesn't end this.
- We're long gone.
- Then why are you so nervous? - Maybe you missed me.
- Are you mad? We can go to jail.
- Let's go somewhere else.
- What's this? - I'm after what you owe me.
- I owe you? You can't do this.
It's your word against mine.
This is from a while back.
It's bad quality, but it's what I had.
Listen to it, I'm sure it will ring a bell.
Yes, they're similar.
I mean, I don't know.
Are they? Two verses from the chorus that are identical.
Word for word.
- The songs are similar.
- The songs are similar, - but they're not the same.
I hope.
- No, they're not.
The rest is mine I know it's hard to understand, but I swear I wasn't using Mike's lyrics.
- Mike? - Yes.
So this heartfelt song, - turns out it's Mike's.
- Michael, yes, Mike.
You see He's American.
American dad, Argentinean Mom, we met in Buenos Aires.
- I don't want to bother you with details.
- Go on.
I saw "Gone with the wind", I'm ready.
Ok.
Since you saw it Well we worked together.
We had friends in common.
He was studying at the conservatory and there was this instant connection from the start.
I was commissioned for the lyrics for a radio spot.
And we started to work together.
It was great.
It went great, because he He was very good with the tunes.
- I'm so sorry.
- Fuck you, Ignacio.
Fuck it.
I'm sorry, Guillermo, it's just that we wrote so many songs together, so many lyrics.
We only had the chorus for this one.
I swear I don't know whose idea it was, because we always worked together.
I didn't know he registered it.
It must have stuck in my head.
- So this might be a subconscious issue.
- Yes, Freud.
You might have subconsciously copied the song? Yes.
I really don't want to get you into any trouble.
Ok, I believe you.
- You do? - Yes.
- Thank you.
- It's true it's similar.
- And the chorus.
- Two verses are identical.
- But the rest is yours.
- Yes.
He doesn't have any power against Golden.
Right? - Not at all.
- Ok, I'll take care of it.
I can make him an offer.
But next time! - There won't be a next time.
- Don't tell Zabala.
- I won't.
- Nothing.
Yes, total discretion.
Let's pick this up.
- Robert, you're not on time.
- I know, I can't hear myself.
Wait till it's full.
Concerts are a battlefield.
No.
You must hear yourselves.
We have to fix it.
Keep rehearsing.
Clara, please call press and radios.
Here are all the numbers.
Where is the manager? Send the invitations.
Look in the directory if you need a missing number.
Ok? Ready? Yes.
Sorry, it's just impressive to see him there Do you know about his first guitar? In exchange for hams? When my parents discovered it, they were so upset they returned it.
I knew he'd be devastated, so I bought it again with my savings.
- Don't tell him, he doesn't know.
- So he's there - thanks to you.
- And also to you.
At last! We were waiting.
Clock's ticking, so here's my idea for the concert's lighting.
I think we should put a speaker - in front of them.
- Darling, when's your boss coming? I'm the boss, I'm organizing this.
We need a speaker next to the microphone, and lights to the rhythm.
These are the songs.
Slow down.
We always do things the same way here.
Too many bands and no time, ok? You'll figure it out, we aren't moving anything.
It's Robert's first concert - and we want to stand out.
- Don't tell me how to do my job.
If you want it different, get up there and do it yourself.
- I want a speaker in front of them.
- What? You can complain to your boss and he can speak to mine.
Imagine what she's done and to whom to make her the boss.
You can't stand a woman in charge.
- Excuse me? - You heard me, you can't stand her, let alone that she's right.
You should apologize, or is it too much for a troglodyte like you.
Another one! You'd be prettier if you were quiet and mopping the floor.
If you're done complaining, we have a lot of work to do.
Everybody running, - this is too loud.
- You didn't have to do that.
And let them treat us like that? I don't like it either, but we need them on our side or they could boycott the concert.
Our moment will come.
Now go make those calls.
Robert, everything ok? Need any food, drinks? - Are you ok? - Just fine.
- He's that one.
- Let's go.
Mike? I can't say I'm pleased to meet you.
- Another drink? - No, thanks.
We would like to settle this asap.
- Wonderful.
- We can do it the easy way.
We're open to negotiate.
This should help you reconsider.
You think money can change things? You haven't looked at it.
You can return to Argentina now.
- Returning isn't an option.
- Spain's not a picnic either.
- Did you listen to the record? - Not interested.
- The press might be.
- I wouldn't trust the press.
They never had a good ear here.
- You're very funny.
- Listen, Mike, there's two ways we can fix this.
- I feel there's only one.
- There's always more than one.
First the easy way.
You take the envelope, finish your drink and go back to Argentina, or you can even stay in Madrid, whatever.
- But you drop this.
- That's not happening.
Then you're forcing me towards the hard way.
You like it dirty.
I don't want you taking advantage of our work.
It's you who's taking advantage.
What? I don't think you know who you're fucking with.
You're blackmailing Spain's biggest record company.
You might get lucky once, but if you keep pushing it, it's going to get ugly.
I don't see what's so funny.
Grab the money - and disappear.
- Call your lawyer.
We don't have to get the law involved.
- There has to be something we can agree on.
- I'm not paying for this.
Guillermo, I can't go in front of a judge.
Relax.
It's just a bluff.
Let him see there's nothing else, and he'll be back.
- I really can't.
- Breathe, relax.
Do that, I'll tell Zabala.
- Nines.
- Here.
- What happened? - The stores returned them.
Nines, make these boxes disappear now.
We need to talk.
They froze the record's sales.
- What? - We've received a court injunction.
Someone called Michael Silverman filed against us for copying one of the record's songs.
Did you know anything? - I offered him money, I thought he'd leave.
- You did what? - I think he wants money.
- It doesn't look that way.
He has four lawyers waiting for us at the board room.
- What the fuck! - What does he have against us? There's a recording.
Ignacio worked with him years ago.
- They wrote many songs together.
- Yes.
- A couple of similar verses.
- How similar? Like you and me, the girls, or like two fucking identical dogs? Two verses are identical, the rest isn't.
He wrote the song in front of me.
He swore he didn't copy and I believe him.
They're just similar, that's all.
Do you know why these cases are lost? Because they were similar.
Golden is fucked.
I'm going to ask you a question and please be honest.
Should I worry? You'll listen now that the record is stopped by the court.
Our client has told us about your pitiful proposal.
He didn't seem trustworthy, it was self defense.
- Are you calling me an extortionist? - No.
Comply or we'll go to court and that could be even worse.
Now you're worried about us.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Since Marisol left, your profits are down.
You need Robert's new album, but now that it's stopped, Golden's on the verge.
You've done your homework.
What do you want? - Full authorship for our client.
- No way.
Ok, prepare for an expensive, public trial then.
You know how these things go, the press loves it.
- And the bogyman will come eat us.
- What? - We're not scared.
- We know we're right.
You might or might not.
Think of your situations now, and how it will be after trial.
Are you sure you can stand it? We're sure we won't be bullied by anyone.
We won't allow you to question Golden's credibility.
We're not budging, this is something personal now.
If you go on, we will destroy you.
Careful, this goes both ways.
Any skeletons in your closet? - We have nothing to hide.
- He can have it.
What the fuck? No way.
This must stop.
Let Mike have it.
I don't care.
- Shut up.
- What if we lose? - The song is yours.
- What if it isn't? What are you saying? I stole it.
I didn't write the song, he did Mike the whole thing.
- Can we finish this? - No, we can't! Because it isn't yours, it belongs to Futura and Golden.
- Are you paying the song's revenues? - Yes If he wants money, I'll pay.
Even if it takes a lifetime.
- How much? - One million.
- One million? - One million.
Our client wants full rights.
We've recommended to also ask for damages.
We think one million is appropriate.
We'll give you some time to think.
One day.
We need an answer by tomorrow, yes or no.
Good day.
Good day.
What the hell just happened? Not here, Guillermo.
My office.
I can't believe this is still here.
Please! Can we please move these boxes, for fuck's sake! - Can you explain yourself? - I'm really sorry.
For what exactly? What are you sorry for? For sending Robert's career down the drain, Maribel's, mine, or everyone else's in this office? - I'm sorry for everything! - You swore yesterday - and today it's not? - I'm so sorry.
Stop repeating it! If I could do anything, I would.
Whatever it took! Yes, leave! I was wrong about you.
It's all problems since you got here.
We have water up to our necks thanks to you, all of us.
If Golden goes down, you go down with it.
Now, out.
We don't have a million.
We could finance it, but without the record, we won't get it.
They're taking advantage of our situation.
- I can't believe it.
- He wouldn't do this to us.
I can't believe Ignacio stole songs at all.
- Me neither.
- But he's hiding something.
But I don't want more surprises.
But we saw him write it.
That's exactly what I think, but he said it himself.
He said it in front of Zabala, Mr.
Alfredo, the lawyers We're getting laid now for sure.
- In your dreams.
- I see them looking at me differently.
Give us five minutes, please.
Take a break, - rock and rolling is tough.
Thanks.
- Just a minute.
- And the rest of the songs? - I hope won't have any more problems.
- What should we do? - You? Nothing.
How are we going to do nothing? This is my career.
- If it's ending, I want to know.
- Relax, ok? This isn't over.
The show must go on.
They've stopped the record.
We need the noise, the excitement, and the concert has to be beyond perfect, ok? You don't have to worry, it's all going as planned.
Thank you, guys.
See you later.
Guillermo, how's Ignacio? Shouldn't he know about the sound engineers? - I'll take care of that.
- Maribel, you have a call.
It's Nines, it's urgent.
- Ok, guys.
- You moved everything again.
- Sorry, I needed to sit.
- But I don't touch your guitar.
- Forgive me.
- C'mon, guys, please.
Ignacio! - Don't do it! I know you're worried.
- Maribel, you scared me.
We're all with you I promise.
This isn't the solution.
- Which one? - Jumping.
- You think I'm jumping? - You're not? No.
I needed fresh air! Nines called me saying you came up here alone and I thought you were going to do something crazy.
- I'm afraid of the dark.
- Why does that matter? How am I going to jump? Really! Let's think.
Actually, it would end all my problems.
Don't even joke about it! - The guy that said you copied.
- Yes.
He's someone I met a while back.
He's hurt with me, and rightly so.
And now he wants revenge.
And he's found the perfect way.
Whatever happened is your business.
But, you're the best songwriter I ever met and I haven't met that many, but you have talent and I believe you.
Thank you.
But I don't know how to get out of this one.
I have a knot in my stomach and my throat, my hands shake You know what would help? Yelling.
- How? - Yell.
This is the perfect place, no one can hear us.
So, c'mon, yell.
- Now? - What? You need backup singers? Well, I - No - Now you.
C'mon! Louder, Ignacio.
Louder.
Better? Yes! Now you know.
If you need to, you can come yell, or you can talk with a friend.
- Withdraw the complaint.
- This is why you wanted to see me? - Withdraw, stop this.
- May I remind you, you started it.
Mike, this is getting out of hand.
Don't make me waste my time.
- Why are you doing this to me? - You really need an answer? This is about what happened.
You have no idea about what happened.
Why did you run off? - I didn't know what to do.
- You didn't know? Hey I'm very sorry about what happened.
I really am What are you sorry for? For my parents locking me up - or for running away? - I'm sorry for it all.
I'm sorry.
I regret leaving you.
I regret running off like that.
I regret thinking only about myself.
I regret being always afraid.
But, what I regret the most is what happened to you.
I do.
I regret I ever met you.
Over there.
This guy is setting this spotlight under them.
Ok.
We're changing things around.
Alright.
- Turn his voice up.
- What? Turn him up.
What's this? Ok! - How is it? It's ok from here.
- It's still giving feedback.
- Excuse me - You might help fix something.
If this stays on, I'll be deaf soon.
I want you to change the spotlights and point two directly at Robert.
More spotlights? Do you know how hot it is? I'm melting.
And change those filters too.
I like the red ones better.
Hey, girl, what are you doing? What you told me to, figuring it out by myself.
If you don't help me, I'll bring my own people.
- You put that speaker there yourself? - Yes, that way Robert can hear himself.
- Here's the final set list.
- Thanks.
Saw it at a Judy Garland concert two years ago.
- And it doesn't give you feedback? - We're working on it.
I haven't got time to lose.
I'm the boss around here wether you like it or not, the concert will be my way.
So, if you like it you can help, if you don't, then leave.
You, grab some cable.
Tighten those spotlights, please.
Hey, you.
Come here.
Move that microphone before our eardrums burst.
It looks like we're finally going to have a decent concert.
- Congratulations.
- What for? - For everything.
- Go rehearse.
Robert, try again.
Maribel, come check this out.
I don't know if you remember me.
Miguel Angel Nieto Yes.
Pleasure to see you again.
Can I introduce you to Maribel? - She's our producer.
- Bad news, boy, from upstairs.
I tried, but it couldn't be.
What's going on? You can't play here, because of the lawsuit.
- Bad press, you know.
- But I'm sorry, boy.
What's wrong? We can't play.
How come? Cancelling the concert is too much.
We told the press, we have posters everywhere.
You can't do this.
No, listen to me.
It's just rumors, there's no proof.
Shit! They cancelled the concert.
They heard about the court injunction and don't want any problems.
- This day can't get any worse.
- Believe me, it can.
I researched and found who's behind all those lawyers - that Mike has.
- Are you going to explain? - Eugenio Vidal.
- Eugenio Vidal? - Yes, Hispamusic's president.
- Yes, I know who he is.
It's also the person you've annoyed the most lately.
- Don't start, Zabala.
Fuck off! - Bullshit, not again.
Listen, I don't know how to talk to you.
You never understand what I say.
- You shouldn't collect enemies.
- I knew he was poor, couldn't afford those lawyers.
I'll speak to him alone.
No, Mr.
Rojas, you've done enough.
You've managed to give our competition a way to sink us.
Do you have that million pesetas he's asking for? Because we don't have it right now.
I can make him understand that it doesn't make any sense to start a war.
You don't get it.
The war is already on.
Eugenio Vidal won't stop until he destroys us.
God! We have such bad luck.
The concert would've been great.
- Robert and the Thunders sound great.
- Now that we found Don't play too loud, or they might like it and copy it.
Fucker.
- What did you say? - Word of mouth.
- What's word of mouth? - That your ear is well trained, - and you play everyone's music well.
- Is that right? - Let's go, Robert.
- Let it go! Listen to them, Robert.
Why don't you leave your girls here and meet me outside.
That's it.
Let's go.
- Are the Beatles' songs also yours? - What's wrong with you? Hit him! No! Son of a bitch! Are you ok? Let's see.
- Careful, please.
- Can you stop moving? Yes.
Ok.
- That's better.
- Next time try to mess with other guys, so you no longer feel like getting into trouble.
I was lucky you were there.
- How are the guys doing? Careful.
- Gabi got his lip cut.
He'll be fine.
You shouldn't have defended me, I could on my own.
Yeah, right! Get off the horse, John Wayne.
Better? Why that look? It was going to be a great concert.
Next time.
- There might not be a next time.
- Why? There'll be a next time, you'll see.
Maybe.
How do you imagine it? Close your eyes.
The Price is full.
It's sold out, but people are still making a line outside.
The line is huge.
There's a lot of boys and girls dancing in the entrance.
They're not afraid of the "grises" because there aren't any.
So they dance, even when the concert starts.
Dance until midnight.
And inside? There's so much yelling inside you can't hear the music.
They're having the time of their life and they know it's the chance of a lifetime.
When they say your name, the whole venue goes silent.
Robert and the Thunders! They all see how you go on stage, get close to the mic, grab your guitar, and wait.
And what next? You sing.
Sorry, I didn't I went to the bar and got this, but I'll go again.
No, it's ok, Clara.
Don't worry.
Yes.
Take care, ok? - See you, bye.
- Bye.
Right on time.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you two - There's nothing between us.
- Not because you don't want it.
- Don't mess with me, I know you - I know you too, and that stupid smile of yours has a reason.
- Careful.
- You like that girl.
- Can you come here, Maribel? - What's up? - Sit down.
- Why? What's going on, Maribel? I'm very tired and I have to get up early tomorrow.
We need to talk.
Your mother told me Did she? What exactly did she tell you? Why are you talking to me like that? What did we do - for you to behave this way? - You know perfectly.
If you spoke to Mom, you must know I'm sick of this and I can't be your good girl now that I know your life is a fake.
- Go to bed, we'll talk another time.
- Another time? Let's talk about your affair with Lola, from Galerias.
What happened? Cat got your tongue? Does Mom know? I bet she doesn't.
Maybe she can share with you too.
- Enough.
- Have you asked her? Ask her, Dad, - and listen.
Or have the courage to - Maribel, enough.
Shut up! That's enough.
You'll realize how things work soon.
Every couple is different and has its own rules.
Then stop telling me what to do and I won't intrude in your life.
- I think I owe you an explanation.
- That would be nice.
- I'm going to need some booze.
- Some more, you mean.
It's not easy.
Do you have pacharán? Have you heard about Oscar Wilde, the writer? - You're here to talk about books? - Does "De profundis" ring a bell? Oh no, it hasn't been published here.
Well, it's a really long letter.
He wrote it from jail.
He was accused of sodomy and he wrote that letter to his lover.
His name was Alfred.
- What's this lesson for? - It's because I'm Oscar Wilde.
- You're like Oscar Wilde.
- Not like him.
He was a genius, I write a little, I have my moments - Ignacio, get to the point.
- I am I like men too.
Relax.
It's not contagious.
I know, it's just I wasn't expecting it.
I don't usually share details from my life that could put me in prison.
Right.
- So Mike is? - Yes, Mike is.
Those were the best years of my life.
I loved him and he loved me, but We had to hide our love.
I went to his house at night, when the neighbors were asleep, and time flew by songwriting.
"Songwriting"? "Songwriting", yes, "songwriting".
I guess a neighbor eventually noticed because they told Mike's parents.
They put him in an insane asylum, it's called "reconversion center".
I was terrified the same would happen to me and ran off.
Came back to Spain.
No, I didn't look for him or call him.
I disappeared.
Then the whole song thing is about this, right? - He wants revenge.
- I can't blame him for hating me.
I was a coward.
I still am.
I've always been one, but But But I'm also a sentimental guy.
- What's this? - A letter, like Oscar Wilde's to his lover.
Mike and I wrote each other a lot when we started.
That's one of the first ones Mike wrote me.
You can read it yourself.
The ending.
He says he's thinking about a sentence I said about us, that he thinks is so beautiful you could make a song out of it.
That's the song's chorus.
The date on the stamp is 3 years old, Mike's record is from 2 years ago.
This proves there's no plagiarism, they have to withdraw the complaint.
- The problem's over.
- Well, it's over for you, but not for me.
Guillermo, it's a love letter.
Between two men.
If this sees the light, I could go to jail or Do whatever you have to do with it.
You're here early.
Actually, I've been here since 5 am.
Really? I needed to think but didn't have coffee at home.
I haven't slept either, I can't believe what's going on.
- Do you play poker? - A little.
My father taught me, one of the nice things he did for me.
Once I had a Full House.
I knew I was going to win, but I also knew my dad's reaction was going to be He hated losing, so I kept quiet.
I lost.
I could've won, but lost on purpose.
Yup.
I guess sometimes the truth isn't easy.
That's the lesson I learnt from poker, the importance of a good bluff.
And you think the guy is bluffing.
Yes.
But his lawyers and the one paying for them isn't.
- They're ready to raise the stakes.
- But we can't match it.
We can, but I don't know if I'm willing to play that card.
So what now? This is the end? Seems like it, unless you know an investor who wants to rescue us.
- I don't know any powerful people.
- Wait.
Call Robert and the guys.
Tell them to go to the Price.
The Price? But they cancelled.
I think I know how to solve things.
- What are we doing here? - Let's talk without lawyers.
I don't know if you understand.
They laid out my conditions clearly.
- You pay the million or go to court.
- There's always another option.
There is? You know Golden is in a bad spot financially.
We can't pay for that million.
If we go to court, you'll destroy us.
We have nothing to fight with.
Bad luck.
Why win the match when you can double the bet? Like it? It's Golden's, one of the country's best record labels.
And you can become a part of it.
Go on.
The deal is this: Eugenio withdraws the complaint and, in exchange, he keeps a percentage of Golden's stocks.
You've negotiated my stocks behind my back? You've gone too far.
Have you lost your mind? In his defense, his plan isn't so crazy.
You don't have many more options.
I won't give half of Golden away, forget it.
- It's not a gift, I'm buying.
- We've heard enough.
Let him finish.
Take a seat.
- What is your offer? - Half a million.
That amount takes care of its economic problems.
- You rise and move on as always.
- As always? I'll have a piece of the cake, of course.
It's a good deal.
- We should talk about this in private.
- I offer you 30% of the stocks.
For half a million? And forget the complaint? Don't insult me, please.
I want 51% of the company.
You want more than half of Golden? Don't be so arrogant, you don't have enough money.
Is that enough money? I think we have a deal.
Happy? Got what you wanted? I thought that if Vidal bought part of the stocks, it would get us through.
I'm not excited about having him as my fucking boss again.
Why did you get involved? All I've done is save the company again.
It was either this or die.
If you hadn't come around, we wouldn't be here: Mr.
Alfredo, me, Ángeles - Why do you mention Ángeles? - Don't play dumb, please.
You think everybody around you is stupid? I know you're sending Jorge toys, and that she went to see you.
I warned her, but she didn't listen to me.
Now I'm warning you.
I won't back off and let you destroy everything I built all these years: not this company or my family.
Get out of my way, and stay away from my wife and Jorge.
Are you done, Pedro? I have a concert to attend.
- All set? - Yes.
- Yes or no? - Yes.
- Break a leg.
- Thanks.
Make some noise for The Tonys! And now what you were waiting for, the band of the moment, the only musician who had the guts to barge into these concerts: Robert and the Thunders! Bravo! What's up, Madrid? Who wants to dance? I can't hear you.
Do you want to dance or not? Yes! PRICE CIRCUS MORNING CONCER JANUARY 1963.
ROBERT'S FIRST OFFICIAL CONCER One, two, three Maribel? Are you ok? Yes.
I got dizzy.
I'm fine.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Maribel, what's wrong? I think I'm pregnant.
I'm two weeks late.
I've been thinking a lot and I've decided to triple - Futura's budget.
- How? We're going to make a strong bet on new talents.
- What's this? - The script for your first movie.
- "A love for Fanny.
" - She's a superstar.
Hispamusic produces her records and her musical movies and they need a leading man.
I'm not going to say I spend my days thinking about you.
I'm not going to say that, when you're around, I want to play - and sing my best ever.
- Robert, I'm sorry, but it's just not a good time.
Do you think that when I wrote Robert's article I had my bosses' approval? - Seriously, don't - Cut it off.
Have friends for this! - You're forgetting this.
- Stick it up your ass! - Any expert advice? - Say your lines and don't bump into the furniture.
And close your eyes when you kiss.
Like this.
I'm calling for the results of a pregnancy test I took.
You sent them to my home address? Ok.
Is this what you're looking for? That explains a lot.
You opened it? What does it say?
