Savage Rhythm (2022) s01e06 Episode Script

Hey, wait!
At least let me tell you my idea.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
[Ximena] Go ahead, then.
Idea for what?
Karina leaving doesn't mean
that Pure Street is over.
And why the hell
do you need us exactly?
[Antonia] You guys
are the best dancers I know.
And I know together
we can make things happen.
Wait, what?
Don't lie. You're just doing this
to get back at Karina.
[intriguing music plays]
What? No, that's not it.
You're saying you're not pissed at her
because she got your role?
Well, I am.
But that's not why I'm here.
What do you have to lose?
Look, you have the flow,
and I have the contacts.
So we all win.
Pure Street is done.
[Antonia] Wait.
Please help me convince them.
I know you can.
Get something solid for us,
and then we can talk.
[Checho] Well
if you're lucky and the guy replies,
what are you gonna say?
Well, I
mm
And Ximena?
I don't think Ximena's
gonna be so quick to convince.
[Antonia] Dude, this guy
is here in Bogotá.
- [chuckles]
- [Checho] What are you gonna do?
What do you think I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna freakin' call the guy.
[chuckles]
But, babe, I must have forgot to bring
my magic wand today, so
- How am I supposed to get it?
- I'm serious. Please help me.
How do I get it?
Karina.
[scoffs]
[intriguing music playing]
[Checho, through phone] How's it going?
I need you to do me a favor.
Can you give me Joe's number?
I have this little friend
who sings really well,
and I want to help him out. All good?
Hi, honey.
How'd it go?
Uh, well, honestly, it's more difficult
than I thought it would be.
Well, don't pay attention to that.
Everything has a solution.
What I want to know
is what that school is like.
[warm music playing]
That place is
incredible.
It's huge,
and the columns are really tall.
The moment you enter the school,
it's like you breathe in dance.
The dancers look like they're floating.
It's like they just came off
of the page of a fairy tale.
[inspiring music playing]
Everything that happens
at the Royal is magic.
[Jacob] Okay, stop, stop, stop.
I don't understand.
ROYAL ACADEMY
I don't understand what's going on.
It's not the way, Karina.
You are supposed to be
leading everyone,
and you're completely lost.
Imagine the rest of them.
María José, Antonia,
what's happening with your tempo?
[cell phone ringing]
[door opens]
WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU NEED?
[line ringing]
[cell phone ringing]
Hello?
I have more than ten missed calls
from this number. Who am I speaking to?
[chuckles nervously] Yeah, sorry about
- Who is this?
- I-I'm a member of Pure Street.
Uh, we're back now. [chuckles]
Karina?
No, no, this is Antonia Pombo.
I'm a new member of the group,
and, well, I wanted to talk to you.
Look, I'm real busy right now.
I don't give second chances, miss.
Good luck with you and your group though.
Jo
[groans]
Dammit.
[sighs]
[camera beeps, clicks]
[woman] No, honey, relax.
We need to sell.
This is too small,
and you can see everything.
I know. But I have a list of girls
who will be more than willing to take
these pictures and for less money.
So I suggest you don't be difficult.
Here, put this on.
[cell phone ringing]
[cell phone ringing]
[pop song playing in Spanish]
[cell phone continues ringing]
Hi. You got something?
What's up?
I'm looking for my wigs.
I said, where are my wigs?
I had to get back the money I lost
somehow, didn't I?
You sold them?
Ximena, don't be cynical.
Look, I need you
and your Venezuelan friend
to leave the room
because I've already rented it.
So you're leaving me homeless now?
Oh no, you'll see.
If you like, I can tell the police you're
the one that knows who robbed the salon.
[scoffs]
Man, what you talkin' about? You're crazy.
What am I talking about?
What everyone's talking about.
Don't you think
it's a little strange, Ximena,
that just one day
after the salon was robbed,
your boyfriend bounces?
Weird, huh?
You know what? I'm gone.
You and your dumbass room
can rot in hell.
You have until noon, Ximena.
- This is the asshole, yeah?
- [man] Yep.
- Is this really necessary?
- It wasn't necessary.
But because you gave up the area,
now it's necessary.
Go on.
Yeah, go on, bitch. Let him see you.
[uneasy music playing]
[Checho] Hey, dude, what's up?
You don't remember me?
[both grunting]
[rhythmic stomping and clapping]
[rhythmic stomping and clapping continues]
[clapping and stomping stops]
[Jacob] Let's go, Karina.
They killed Romeo and also Tybalt,
my dear cousin and my beloved husband.
[Jacob] Let's see.
They just gave you
the worst news of your life.
Feel it. Come on.
Eight and
[rhythmic stomping and clapping continue]
It is Judgment Day!
Because if both of them are dead,
no one can go on living in this world.
More intensity, Karina.
You must own the character. You got this.
Come on, you can do it.
Eight and
[rhythmic stomping and clapping resume]
- [dancers grunt in unison]
- [stomping and clapping stop]
I think that's enough for today, guys.
Let's take a break.
[footsteps receding]
- You okay?
- No. I don't know what to do.
[girl in class] If you want
Out there, there are dancers lining up
who would give up their lives
to take that role from you.
But I'm looking for perfection,
and I want yours.
I'm sorry, I've had a bad day.
My brother's in trouble,
and I'm just trying to
I know you have problems.
We all have problems.
But during my rehearsals,
during the play,
I need you to put them aside.
No, I know.
But, well
I'm not a robot. [chuckles]
If I wanted one, that classroom has ten.
But I'm looking for something else.
And I see that something else in you.
I don't get what you see in me.
Romeo and Juliet.
I want you to read it.
Enjoy it, study it.
If you really want to stand on that stage
and show everyone what it is you can do,
you have to make sacrifices.
You're gonna have to wake up early,
to have late nights.
You'll have to give everything
at every rehearsal, Karina.
[sniffles]
Otherwise, Karina,
no matter how much I trust you,
no matter how much I trust
your raw talent,
your days at this company are going
to end much faster than they began.
- I'll give it my all.
- I know.
- [chuckles]
- I know.
Thanks.
Okay.
Do your best.
- [Álex] Hey, sis.
- [Karina] Hey.
- Thanks a lot. See you soon.
- [lawyer] My pleasure.
- How are you?
- Fine, now that I'm free.
- Well, you'll have to do better, okay?
- Yeah, right.
[warm music playing]
[Álex] Thanks, bro.
- You need a ride home?
- No, no, don't worry. It's cool.
Oh, taking the bus now is complicated.
Come on, let's go.
[chuckles]
Hey, nice hair!
I love that. It's a look. It's dope.
What's wrong? Do I have a booger?
You got some balls.
Why were you such an asshole
to my brother?
Here we go again with this story.
It's shit, no?
Uh, what story? What happened?
[Mateo] Nothing.
Just talking about the past.
Your life is so colorful, huh?
- Yeah, right.
- Violet.
Seriously, what did you see in that man?
I don't know.
- Shall we?
- Let's go.
[moody music playing]
[car door opens]
[Álex] Look, there she is.
Remember, I told Grandma
you were working, okay?
[Álex] Yeah, okay.
- Hey, Grandma!
- [Vicente] Look at this view.
- How are you?
- You scared me, sweetie.
[Karina] Come meet our grandmother.
[Neila] Honey, how did it go? Hi, honey.
[Karina] Hey, Grandma.
- Good evening.
- Hey, this is, uh
- Good evening.
- Uh, Vincent. He's a friend of Álex.
Oh, it's so nice to meet you, Vincent.
How are you?
- I'm great.
- How long have you known each other?
- [Vicente] It hasn't been long, and
- I gotta go.
- [Neila] What, again?
- Yeah.
Hey!
- [Neila] Okay.
- [Karina] Where are you going?
I gotta go take care of something.
- [Vicente] Mrs. Neila, been a pleasure.
- [Neila] Oh, well
- Very nice to meet you.
- You too. Bye.
Okay. You have a great day.
You two in love or what?
Be patient with him.
All good.
- See you tomorrow.
- Can I ask you something?
[sighs]
Do you also think my acting
is really that bad?
It's not terrible,
but if you want to be the protagonist,
you do need to try harder for sure.
[sighs] I don't know who else to ask.
Would you help me?
[uneasy music playing]
[man] You don't have
to worry about this, okay?
Everything's arranged.
Don't put too many clothes on top of it,
and nothing too heavy on it.
[bag zipping]
This will be your carry-on baggage
so you can keep everything under control.
If you notice you're being followed,
you can get rid of it.
Got it?
How many times have you made this trip?
[man] We do one once a week.
When am I leaving?
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
No, but not tomorrow.
I haven't packed, I'm not ready.
You asked me for a favor. Remember?
So, relax.
You'll see your mama tomorrow.
One more thing.
My friend is a serious guy.
This is half of what we agreed to.
When you deliver the suitcase,
he'll give you the rest.
Okay?
Hi, I'm Antonia Pombo. I work with Joe.
I have to deliver this envelope to him,
but I forgot his room number.
- Can you look it up for me, please?
- Yeah. One moment.
His room is 605.
- Great, thanks a lot.
- [woman] My pleasure.
I really recommend it.
- Thank you.
- [woman] Mm-hmm.
HOTEL BOOKING CONFIRMATION
[intriguing music playing]
Antonia, can you just tell me
what the hell's going on?
What are we doing here?
I'll explain later, okay?
Come on.
[knocking on door]
So this guy
doesn't even know we're coming?
[exhales] Jesus Christ.
There's no one there.
The man who was there just left.
Uh, we were just there with him
and I I forgot something.
They're rehearsing.
Uh, where?
In the rooms on the first floor.
Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
[upbeat pop song playing in Spanish]
GRAND 3 SALON
- [song ends]
- [dancers laughing, clapping]
[choreographer] Skinny! Nice, guys.
- [Antonia] Hello.
- Hello.
I'm Antonia, and this is Bombita.
We're from Pure Street.
Okay.
Yes, it's just that I spoke to Joe,
and he said that you needed
some dancers and, well
Yeah, we're looking for dancers,
but the auditions are not today,
and they're not here.
Right, but we're already here,
so why don't you use us?
[door opens]
What are you doing here?
The lady and I have business.
Hmm, do you have a problem?
No. What do you mean?
What kind of business?
Hey, bro, I think we're done
for the time being, you and me.
You can go now.
Everything's fine, thank you very much.
All right, then. Good luck.
- Hope it goes well.
- [Mario] Thanks.
To what do I owe the honor?
I brought what I owe you.
[door closes]
And to say bye,
'cause I'm leaving for Miami.
- Don't break my heart like that, baby.
- [chuckles]
Don't laugh.
I'm being serious.
Oh, so now you're saying you have a heart?
Do you think that behind this businessman
there isn't a sensitive guy?
With a loving heart that wants to love?
Don't laugh at me, I'm serious.
[warm music playing]
Come on.
Why don't we go out and get to know
each other before you leave?
'Cause I'm leaving tomorrow.
We have today. Let's go dance.
I can't.
[scoffs]
Aw. [scoffs softly]
'Cause I'm leaving tomorrow. If I weren't
If not, what?
Ahh, so you're a big man, huh?
And if you don't leave?
I'm leaving. [giggles]
What?
Are you mad?
[upbeat pop song playing in Spanish]
- [song ends]
- [all laughing, cheering]
- Who are they?
- Yeah, they're called Pure Street.
Did you not hear
what I told you over the phone?
- Well, we just wanted you to see us
- I don't care. You screwed up.
I don't work with people
who do not respect me.
- Sorry, that wasn't our intention.
- [Joe] Hmm-mm.
Joe, wait a minute.
[sighs in distress]
Such a waste of time, Antonia.
[sighs]
[distant traffic sounds]
[Chama] You're the only one
who goes along with that girl.
- [Liliana] I know.
- [Checho] Hey, Chama, dude, no.
Look, if you like, go ahead
and take my room. I'll sleep here.
So you can relax
and sleep comfortably, okay?
[banging on door]
We waiting for someone?
Uh
- [cell phone ringing]
- [Checho] Who's calling?
[Chama] Ximena called. She's here.
Dude.
Checho, why don't you stay here tonight?
I mean, no one's gonna find out.
How could I stay here?
They're still looking for me.
- [door opens]
- No, I better leave.
So you still working for that guy? Mario?
Don't you think he's dangerous, Checho?
What did we agree on, you and I?
[Chama] We're figuring out where to sleep.
On that. But anyways, relax.
- [Ximena] I don't need to unpack.
- So anyway, we all staying here?
No, I'm leaving tomorrow.
Leaving for where?
You're not going to believe it.
I'm going to Miami. [giggles]
[Liliana] Miami?
Yeah, I'm gonna be living with my mama.
She got the money
and she sent it to me, and I'm leaving.
- Why the fuck didn't you say anything?
- What do you mean?
Well, but you and I
already talked about it, remember?
Come on, man.
Me leaving doesn't mean
like I'm dying or something.
I'll be doing what I love the most.
[chuckles]
Being scandalous. [laughs]
So beautiful. [sniffles]
[Ximena] Mm.
- [Liliana] I'm gonna miss you so much.
- So will I.
Don't cry, princess, don't cry.
Otherwise your crown will fall off.
[both laugh]
Are you going to let me
put this in your bedroom? Please?
[Liliana] Sure.
PURE STREE
What exactly are you doing
with Mario, Ximena?
So, he got something to do
with this sudden trip of yours?
That's none of your business.
You and I are nothing.
Am I asking you about the redhead? No.
- Something going on between you two?
- Ay, Checho, you've got a lot of nerve.
I mean, when Mario kidnapped me,
you didn't even show up.
Not even a fucking call.
And now you see me with him,
and what? You come here to scold me?
- Don't be stupid. It's not that, Ximena.
- Hey, no, no, no. Don't call me that.
- Mario is a dangerous man, you get it?
- I know he's dangerous.
And I love it.
He has more balls than you.
[giggling] Dude, I can't wait
to throw you the party of your life.
[Karina, in monotone] "'Tis but thy name
that is my enemy. Though art thyself,
though not a Montague."
"What's a Montague?"
"It is nor hand nor foot"
[scoffs in frustration]
I don't get why they talk like this.
Don't they talk weird?
It's different.
But, look.
The whole point of Shakespeare's plays
is that they sound like Shakespeare.
And, well, this play was written in 1597.
What do you like about this?
All due respect.
Passion.
Is that why your knee's like that?
[gentle music playing]
Well, I've seen it
it really bothers you during rehearsals.
It's not that bad.
[cell phone ringing]
What's up?
[Chama]
Ximena's leaving tomorrow for the US.
Her mom did something
to speed things along, I guess.
And we're throwing her
a farewell party here at Checho's.
Anyways, we'll be here.

- Hey, girl.
- To Ximena.
[all laughing]
- Stop
- [chattering indistinctly]
[phone camera shutter clicks]
- [Liliana] Checho, let's take a picture.
- [Checho] Huh?
- [Liliana laughing]
- [Checho] Okay, do it.
No, no, no. Lean in.
- [Checho] Yeah.
- [Chama] Be right back.
Come here, a picture to remember.
- [Checho] Come on. Let's have a drink.
- [Ximena] Okay, have some.
Oh, son of a bitch!
[emotional music playing]
Pure Street, isn't it?
Lots of history here.
- Look what I brought.
- No!
So you won't forget
we're more than a fight.
You still have this thing? That's crazy.
[Ximena] It's been so long, dude.
Do you remember? We did really well.
- [Chama] So you can wear it.
- [Ximena] Ah.
Okay, are all going to wear it or what?
[mid-tempo pop song playing in Spanish]
[all laughing]
[Checho] Bravo!
Well, are we gonna drink already, or what?
Look, look, look.
- What, you're not drinking, or what?
- What do you mean? Mine's right here.
All that we've
been through together, right?
Dude, this is unbelievable that
But no, we'll see each other again.
Anyway, I want you girls to know that
[emotionally]
Oh, you're making me cry, you bitches.
[all laughing emotionally]
So do you forgive me, or what?
Well, duh. [laughs emotionally]
So does that mean Pure Street's back on?
No, remember?
This one's leaving us behind.
Oh yeah.
I have to leave.
My mama is waiting for me.
And so stay here and we try again?
It would be awesome, but no.
So I guess
Let this be our last toast.
To Pure Street.
- Salud.
- Salud.
- To the good old times.
- [all] Cheers.
[Checho] Cheers. Cheers, girls.
[Ximena laughing]
Aren't you and I saying goodbye, or what?
[sultry pop song playing in Spanish]
Come on, I'll show you.
For old times' sake.
What kind of game are you playing?
Huh?
No, don't.
I'm not playing anything.
[Checho] Ximena, let's get out of here.
- No, wait a minute. Wait, wait.
- Come on.
Checho, fuck me.
Checho, what's up?
SLIDE TO CANCEL
I'm starting to worry a bit.
I called you a bunch of times,
and are you doing all right?
[cell phone beeping]
ANTONIA
VOICE MESSAGE
- [women laughing]
- Hey! Who wants drinks?
Oh, I can't do it, I can't.
I have rehearsal tomorrow.
I just have way too much to think about.
No, I have to be here.
Ugh. You're gonna start rubbing
all of our faces in your super academy.
No, Bombita. Are you angry? Come on.
For real, we all made a decision
about Pure Street. It wasn't only me.
[Liliana] No.
- Mm-mm. It wasn't like that.
- [Karina] No? What do you mean?
I wanted to do the show.
I tried a million times to look for a way.
One thing or another
Karina, if I'm being honest,
you fucked everything up.
Ximena left us.
And obviously you didn't give a shit
what happened to me and Chama.
Why do we have to talk about this now?
- Dude.
- [Liliana] I did go to an audition.
I did it with Antonia.
What?
And we auditioned as Pure Street
and did very well.
Why with Antonia?
Because she called me.
She offered an opportunity,
and I said yes.
Hmm?
Mm-hmm. Well, I don't know,
but you can't accept that.
Oh, we can't, huh?
Oh, I see.
You can go off to your fancy academy,
be a star, and shine.
Ximena can go, leave to the US,
and what are we gonna do, huh?
I'm tired of having to undress
and have pictures taken of me.
Fuck, I want
I want my life to be so much more.
And Chama and I both have the right
to accomplish our dreams, Karina.
Salud.
[dramatic music playing]
[cell phone ringing]
YOU WON, GIRL.
THE CHOREOGRAPHER WANTS YOU.
[Antonia squeals, laughs happily]
[door opens]
[Karina] "My mou My mouth will erase
a stain as a blushing pilgrim."
"My mouth will erase the stains
as a blushing pilgrim."
- [Karina sighs]
- Have you been here a while?
Yeah, I got here early.
And how is Shakespeare treating you?
Well, I'm trying to understand him,
but, hmm, it's hard.
Let's see.
This is a play, Karina,
about an impossible love.
In this scene in particular,
the conservative customs
of your character, Juliet,
make her resistant to a kiss.
But she wants it, deep down.
Have you ever been in love?
I ask because there are many ways
to get closer to the character
through acting.
One way of doing this is to own it.
To transfer your own experience
to try to find its truth.
Yes, I understand, but, well
it's easier for you
because you studied this, and I
[chuckles]
Let's try something, hmm?
Take a look right here, at the changes.
"strong, a woman like me"
[Jacob] Karina, come over here, please.
We'll act the scene.
I want you to relax, take a deep breath.
Hmm?
Ready?
[gentle music playing]
Do you mind if I hold your hand?
"Maybe you can forgive me with a kiss."
"It wouldn't be right on your part."
"A woman like me
would never be able
to kiss someone like you."
"A woman like you?"
"What's the difference
between your lips and mine?"
Hmm?
"My lips pray, and
they don't sin."
As if you didn't want this, Juliet.
[gentle music turns passionate]
[passionate music continues]
[music ends]

[music fades]
