The Baker and the Beauty (2020) s01e07 Episode Script

1
- Hey, Garcia.
- Previously on
"The Baker and the Beauty"
- Deering has
a zero tolerance policy
towards violence.
- And, Amy, I am forbidding you
from seeing her any more.
It's time for us to expand.
This is our chance, Papi.
- Asbestos?
- It has to be removed.
- I have prostate cancer.
- So you're gonna tell Noa?
- When I'm ready.
- I will be making
my acting debut
in Melanie Caan's next feature.
- We all know that you have
a new man in your life.
I want to talk
about the interview
that his ex-girlfriend
released this morning.
Would you like to respond?
- That publicity
is gonna be bad.
That doesn't sound
like a woman
who is fit to run a company,
now does it?
- They're putting together
an emergency board meeting.
They're gonna vote
to remove you as president.
- My father's trying
to take my company from me.
- Go to the press.
Tell them the truth!
- I did!
Everything I said
is exactly what happened.
- Which one's better in bed?
- Oh, that's more like it.
Enough with this silence
and sad faces.
Papi
I know that six weeks
is a long time
for the bakery to be closed,
but at least the asbestos
is gone, no?
- Sí, sí, sí.
- Okay.
And Mateo, one little meeting
with one little producer
who has no soul
or inner life to recognize
your amazing talent,
and you want to quit?
Is that the son that I raised?
Someone who needs
constant validation
and approval from everybody?
- That's exactly
who you raised.
- No, it's not!
The only way to fail
in this life is to quit,
and we are Garcias.
We do not give up ever.
Ay, where's Noa?
Who's Noa with?
Ay, ay, ay.
Do you miss her
and care about her?
Then call her and tell her.
- Is he here?
- He's here.
Noa, honey, you don't
have to see him by yourself.
I can cancel my meeting.
- Wait--
haven't you canceled
too many times already?
- If you come with me,
then it becomes business,
but if I go alone, we can
keep this what this really is,
which is personal.
- What, no words
of wisdom for me?
You can go around the table
and solve everyone's problems,
but when it comes to me,
you got nothing.
Do you wanna know why, Mom?
I'll tell you why.
It's because you
are the problem.
- Natalie.
- Parents are the problem.
- Hello, Father.
- Hi, Bug.
- Why are you trying
to steal my company?
- Direct as ever,
that's my girl.
The truth is,
I am worried about you.
- A phone call
would have sufficed.
- You haven't answered
a phone call of mine
since you were 16.
- So instead you're asking
the board to replace me?
- Replace?
No.
Liberate?
Yes.
Noa, you've spent
your entire adult life
focusing on this company.
It's time you
spread your wings.
You have the opportunity
to act.
That's your childhood dream.
You have a new relationship.
I think you want to step away.
You just can't see it.
So if I tell you you're wrong,
you'll drop the whole thing?
- Every time
you have taken a leap--
every single time--
it is because I pushed.
When you left home
and walked out at 16
- When you expanded the brand--
- So there's a method
to your malice?
- Well, it's hard
to argue the results.
- What do you want, Dad?
You definitely
don't want what's best for me
'cause you don't even know
what that is.
- I want to have
a relationship with you.
I want you to trust me,
but since you are so determined
to keep me out of your life
I want to protect you
from yourself.
You are making mistakes,
and they are harming
this company
and your future.
Three major clients gone.
Five more in jeopardy.
So if you want to keep me
out of your life, that's fine,
but I am going to protect you
from yourself.
- It just makes me so mad--
this double standard
that she has for me.
- That's what happens
when you're the youngest
and the only girl.
- You mean the only gay girl.
It wasn't like this before.
I'm finally
being true to myself,
and my reward is being
forbidden from seeing you?
- Yeah, how's that going?
- You joke, but she threatened
to homeschool me.
You know, I'm the best
behaved kid she has,
and I'm the only one who
suffers consequences like this.
- To be fair,
I don't think
your brothers
were brawlers like us.
You know, if she's gonna
treat me like the bad seed,
then I might as well
have some bad seed fun.
- Keep talking.
- Let's ditch.
- You wanna ditch?
- Isn't that music festival
today at Crandon Park?
- Yeah, but we don't
have tickets.
- I'm sure there's tickets
available, and if not,
we'll just find a scalper.
- Who are you?
- I don't know, but there's
about 30 seconds left
of this rebellion
before I completely cave,
so let's--
- Oh, it's on.
- Hey, you.
- Welcome back.
How was your trip?
- Exhausting.
How are you?
- Hanging in there.
I missed you.
- I miss you too.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'll be fine.
I just have
that meeting coming up,
and my father
has a way of getting to me.
- Hey, that's what parents do,
right?
I was thinking,
if you're not too tired later,
maybe we could do
something quiet.
You know, eat in,
put on a movie.
- Netflix and chill?
Let me see
how the meeting goes.
I'll call you
when I get out, okay?
And, Daniel, it's good
to hear your voice.
- You too.
Good luck.
- Thanks.
- Mateo, Mom is right.
You're being ridiculous.
- Yeah, you know what?
What's ridiculous
is acting like
everything's going
all right.
But the truth is
is that my manager's
a real estate agent,
and my big gigs
are on the Palm Beach
bar mitzvah circuit.
Daniel, I'm 27 years old.
Do you know how many artists
get discovered
by my age or later?
- That's still not
a reason to quit,
especially if you love it.
- Yeah, but it
doesn't love me back.
The longer I go
holding out for something
that's never gonna happen,
then the longer it takes me
to find something else
to love,
something
that can actually happen.
- Miami PD!
- Just don't quit
because nothing's
happening right this moment.
All you need is one break,
and you'll be back on track.
- Daniel Garcia.
- That's me.
- Daniel Alberto Garcia,
you're under arrest
for the assault and battery
of Kurt Malick.
- Wait, wait, what?
- You have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say
can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
- Daniel--
- You have the right
to an attorney.
- Sir--
- If you cannot afford one,
one will be assigned to you
- Daniel Garcia!
- How could this have
happened?
- The press just
ambushed me.
There was this one
that was harassing me, and I--
- So you punched him?
Who are you and what
have you done with my son?
- I'm sorry.
I have no excuse.
- Daniel, assault
and battery is a felony.
You could have a record.
Do you have any idea what
that can do to your future?
- Are you safe?
- Yeah, I'm in a holding cell,
but if I make bail today,
they'll release me,
and I don't have to see
the inside of a real jail.
- How much is bail?
- $10,000.
- $10,000?
- But you only have to come up
with $1,000 of that.
- Oh.
Only 1,000--
let me go check my purse.
- All right, all right,
listen, listen.
We'll go and work
on the bail, all right?
You, stay safe, okay?
- Daniel has
his "Food Diaries,"
so these are
Natalie's "Rebellion Diaries."
Entry one--
Amy and I are currently
shopping for some snacks
because food at these concerts
costs, like, a zillion dollars.
I say that like I've
ever been to one though.
- Nevertheless, you are right.
We're getting a bunch
of junk food
because all great rebellions
are fueled
off sugar and caffeine.
- Ah, anything else?
- What else do you want?
- I don't know.
It's so funny.
It's like we could do anything.
We could go anywhere.
It's like
you don't even realize
you're living on autopilot
until you break the mold.
- You can take the girl
out of the philosophy class--
- Sorry, am I being
a total buzzkill?
- Um, no, the opposite.
But I do think
you're missing something
that all great rebels
should have.
- Charisma?
Courage?
- Colored hair.
I love the purple.
- Yeah.
The green looks good too.
- Thanks.
Happy?
It's not even lunch
yet, and, already,
this is the best day
of my life.
- Yes.
Miami Mayhem here we come.
- Whoo!
- We gotta get a bail bondsman.
- Our credit is maxed out.
If we get a loan
from a bondsman,
how are we gonna repay it?
- It's either that
or we're gonna have to use
Natalie's quinceañera money
like I said before.
- No, it is not fair
for Natalie to have to pay
for Daniel's problems.
- Well, someone
in this family has to.
- I'm gonna pawn my equipment.
- Mateo--
- It won't be as much
as it would
if I were to straight up
sell it,
but we need the money now
before they transfer Daniel
to someplace
where they shave his head
and give him a teardrop tattoo.
Have you guys ever
seen the show "Oz"?
You know what happens
in that show?
Listen, it won't be
the whole grand, okay?
But it's gonna be something.
- Mi amor, do you realize
that, right now,
you are my favorite son
in the family?
- When you put it that way
it gets me scared
for all of us.
- My father helped me
start this business.
He gave me a loan and he said,
"Here, Bug, go play."
And all of a sudden
I had a company
And, every day,
people would ask me,
"Is this right?
Is this wrong?"
And, to tell the truth,
I had no business
running a company.
I was just a kid,
but I knew what I wanted,
and I built this brand.
I felt every fabric.
I approved every design,
all the while asking myself,
"What do I want to say?"
And as our company grew,
that became our message.
We told women,
"Your voice matters."
Our brand tells women
that they are capable enough
and strong enough
to run their own companies.
And that is why
we are successful.
- Daniel Garcia!
You're out.
Garcia.
- Your girlfriend's over there.
Get out of here.
- Vanessa.
- You--you bailed me out?
- No.
Absolutely not.
I got Kurt
to drop the complaint.
It's over.
You're free.
- Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this.
- It's fine.
It was the right thing to do,
but now I'm late.
- Come on. I'll drive you home.
- Yeah.
- Hello.
- Hey, it's me.
- Daniel--Daniel, are you okay?
We're working
on your bail right now.
- We don't need it.
Vanessa got Kurt
to drop the complaint.
I'm a free man.
- What?
- So we don't need the bail?
- And there won't
be any kind of record?
- And you're with Vanessa
right now?
- She's driving me home.
- Are you safe?
- Yeah.
What are you doing?
- I have a showing
I have to make.
- Whoa, whoa.
Forget--my phone's dead.
We're on our way.
I'll see you guys soon.
- Sounds like old times.
- Where are we going?
- A shortcut.
See?
That's the way out.
- That's not an exit.
- Okay, stop.
- V, I don't think that's it.
I'm just trying to help.
- Well, you're not helping.
You're stressing me out.
- Wait, watch out!
Wait!
- Don't say a word.
- Oh, my God, we should.
- Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
- Feels like I'm living
on some strange, alien planet.
There's definitely still
a skeeze factor to it though.
- She left school grounds?
And she hasn't been back?
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
No--
Rest assured,
this won't happen again.
Thank you.
Okay, bye-bye. Bye.
- Natalie?
No.
- Mari--
- No.
Rafael.
- I can see
your typing's improved.
- Really.
- Key Biscayne?
- Mm-hmm.
Where the music festival is.
And how do you think
she got there?
I'll give you one guess.
Amy.
She's with Amy.
Even though we forbid her to be
with that girl, she's with Amy.
- Actually, you did.
- And she thinks
she can fool me?
Mira, I was the queen
of getting away with things.
- Mari, calm down, okay?
We're talking about Natalie.
She's a National Merit Scholar.
Do you think she doesn't know
how to turn off her phone?
She wants us
to know where she is.
This is her idea of rebelling--
going to a concert
on a Friday afternoon.
Oye, don't you see
how lucky we are?
- No, I don't see
how lucky we are.
My daughter
is getting into fights.
She's cutting school.
- What is this about, Mari?
I know this is not about
the fact that Amy is a girl
because you don't have
a bigoted bone in your body.
We're her family.
If we don't protect her
and make her feel safe,
she's gonna turn away from us
and find people who do.
Okay?
- I didn't call this meeting
here today
to question
my daughter's capabilities.
They are peerless.
I called this meeting
because I do feel
I need to question
her commitment.
- I wanna talk to you
about the rumors
that your next move
will be into acting.
- Those rumors are true.
I can confirm
that I will be playing
the lead in Melanie Caan's
new feature.
- That is amazing.
The one shooting
in Morocco, right?
- Yes.
- Morocco.
Shooting there
for three months acting,
which is a childhood dream
of hers.
I also called this meeting
because I feel myself
compelled to question
her judgment.
Now, we all know that Noa
has a new man in her life.
After all, that is
the entire reason
you are all sitting here today,
but what you might not know
was that my daughter
now approves of violence.
I can assure you
that hanging out
with known felons is not good
for the bottom line.
Ladies and gentlemen
my daughter will always be
the face of this brand.
That's given,
but one thing is certain.
She can no longer
run this company.
She must be replaced.
- Hey, Daniel, it's me.
I'm really worried about you.
Can you please call me back?
- This is a nightmare.
- Your dad was right.
Daniel was arrested
for assault and battery.
- Oh, God.
- I'm gonna lose this company.
My boyfriend's in jail.
The press is gonna have
a field day with that.
My father painted me
as distracted and disinterested
in that room,
and you know what?
He's right.
I took my eye off the ball,
and now I'm gonna pay.
- You could have gone
with the tow truck.
- What was I gonna do?
Leave you by the side
of the road?
- Must have been tempting.
- You know me better than that.
- Hold on, how about
your showing?
- Gone!
The minute we hit those spikes.
- I'm sorry.
- That was your fault.
- I feel like every time
I see you,
I've got something new
to apologize for.
- Yep.
Our breakup is just the gift
that keeps on giving.
Okay, how about this?
No more sorrys.
I don't think either of us
was prepared
for the Noa Hamilton hurricane.
Okay?
I'm not blaming her,
but, when you think about it,
a good amount of the chaos
is because of who she is.
I'm just saying.
Like, for example,
when you break up with someone,
you stalk them on Facebook.
Me, I see you two
everywhere I look.
- It's been a challenge
for the whole family.
Natalie even got suspended
from school.
- Suspended?
Is she okay?
- Yeah.
No.
My mom and her are
down each other's throats
about the whole Amy thing.
- Well, I'm glad
they finally know.
- What--wait.
When did you know?
- Oh.
About a year ago,
she was really freaked out,
and I asked her why,
and she said
she thought she was
going to hell.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I wanted to.
But I promised her I wouldn't.
She's like a little sister
to me.
I know you guys
never got that, but
I really did consider
you family.
- I always knew that
and I appreciated it.
- Thank you.
- Are you hungry?
- Mm.
- Come on.
Let me buy you lunch
as a thank you
for saving me from prison.
Okay.
- It's like--do I even look
at these messages
or do I just ignore them?
- Will you enjoy the show more
knowing what they say
or not knowing?
- I have to look.
Otherwise, my mind
will just torture me.
My God, Daniel was arrested.
- What?
- I don't know, but
Amy, I'm having the best time
of my life, seriously--
- But he's your brother,
and you wanna go home.
Come on.
- Do you hate me?
- No, I--of course not.
I don't hate you.
In fact, the opposite.
I love you.
Come on, let's hit the road
before traffic gets bad.
- Oh, okay.
- Scotch, neat please.
Lewis.
Thanks for coming.
- I assume from the deference
in your tone,
you realize I've already won.
Thank you.
- I have cancer, Gideon--
prostate.
Noa doesn't know.
We think we caught it early,
but
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- The differences
between you and me
could fill a stadium
But we have one thing
in common.
I said before that she believes
there's humanity in you.
I'm rolling the dice
that she's right.
So what are you proposing?
- Come on, Gideon.
You don't wanna run Noa Corp.
What is this all
really about, anyway?
Regulators in Singapore
have frozen construction
of my new high-rise.
I'm having a hard time
finding banks
who are willing to fund me
on a short-term cash basis.
I'm facing losses.
You know my motto.
- "Never a loss
in any quarter."
- I'll name Mark Logan as CEO,
and in return,
he's agreed to let me
use the Noa Corp balance sheet
to guarantee my debt.
- Why make a deal with him?
Make a deal with me.
- Lewis
I already hold
the winning hand.
- But at what price?
- Having reflected
on my daughter's words earlier,
I do believe that she has
awakened to the neglect
that these outside distractions
have caused.
I would like
to withdraw my motion
and suggest that she should,
in fact,
remain in control
of her own company.
- Oh, my God.
- Lewis!
- Fancy meeting you here.
- You know, you'd already
won the board over, right?
You didn't need to pass out.
- Well, you know me.
Leave everything
on the table.
Or, in my case,
under the table.
The doctor says you passed out
because of the flu.
He says that's common
in cancer patients.
- I was gonna tell you.
- You didn't think
I could handle it?
- No, it's not that.
We were in a street fight.
Your father
was gunning for you.
- Lewis--
- No, don't say
that's not important.
To be as influential
and meaningful as you are, Noa,
that is everything
that I've devoted my life
to helping you become.
- Yes, I know,
and I've appreciated
every minute of that effort,
but no company or fight
are a shadow
of what you mean to me.
- I know.
- Okay.
- Besides
I'm gonna be just fine.
- Yes, you are.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
Do you know why?
Because as of now, you're
gonna let me take care of you.
- Well, don't go overboard.
- I'm sorry,
but you have no choice.
The company's safe.
Besides, I'm looking forward
to bossing you around
for a change.
- Mmm.
- Good, right?
- So good.
- Mm.
- Did you know this place?
- Nope.
That's one of the great things
about Miami--
surprises everywhere you go.
- I like your videos.
I mean, the first one
at Piñones--
If I never see that again,
it would be okay.
- But the second one
with Betsi
It was really good.
- Thank you.
- Mateo said you might try
doing it as your career?
- He did?
I don't know.
My parents think it's stupid.
- You can't listen
to them, Daniel.
I always appreciate
their point of view,
but I always thought you were
meant for more than the bakery.
- You did?
- I only said that to you,
like, a million times.
Did you ever listen to me?
- I did.
I just thought you were saying
that because, you know,
we were together,
and you felt like you had to.
- Okay, first of all,
I never said anything
just because
we were together,
and, second of all,
me doing something
because I felt like I had to?
- Do you know me?
No, fair enough, fair enough.
This is nice.
Right?
- Don't act surprised.
It's not like we had
four miserable years together.
- No, there was a lot
that was good.
- It's nice to hear
you say that.
I mean, I know Noa Hamilton
is not the reason
why you turned me down
And I know she isn't really
the reason why we broke up
But it's nice to hear you say
you don't think
those four years were wasted.
- V, I'll never think that.
Okay?
Maybe I should get the check.
- I should get the car in.
- This day started off so bad.
You really came through for me.
- Who is that?
- I think that's Natalie
and Amy.
- Dude, I'm telling you
that's Daniel in Vanessa's car.
- But why?
- I don't know.
- I should get going.
- Yeah.
- I would say "say hi
to your parents for me," but
you know.
- Hey, my dad always loved you.
- As opposed to your mom.
- You know Cuban mothers.
No one's ever good enough.
- Hmm. Not even Noa Hamilton?
- Let's just say she's not high
on anyone's list right now.
- Oh.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Sort of.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Actually, can I ask you
for one more favor?
- Time to face the salsa music.
- Any regrets?
- That I didn't do
something like this sooner.
AlsoI love you too.
Ay, thank God you're home.
Oh, my baby.
Where were you?
- We hit a couple obstacles,
but we're good.
- Mm.
- The point is that you're out,
and this nightmare is over.
- Yes.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- How was school?
- Vanessa,
what are you doing here?
- The real question is,
what are you doing
taking apart this room?
You have a song to write--
a follow-up to "Calle Ocho."
- Vanessa, I told you
it's over.
- I don't care what you said.
You are a temperamental artist.
I'm the one
with her head on straight.
- Vanessa--
- Mateo, you owe me.
Put these back on.
- I can't.
- Sure you can.
- Just stop it.
- Not a chance.
- No.
- Yes.
- Mom, I really
don't want to fight.
- Natalie--
- And I know everything
about my appearance
says otherwise,
and I'm sorry
- Natalie--
- That I cut school, okay?
But for the first time
in my life, I'm just happy
for the first time--
- Natalie Garcia, stop.
I know you think
I've been overreacting,
but you have to understand--
you're my daughter.
I know I've told you how close
I was to your grandmother
but what I didn't tell you
was that before she died,
we got into a terrible fight
And the last thing
I said to her
was that
she meant nothing to me
And that she wasn't
even my mother.
And so when I had you,
I swore I would never let
anything come between us.
But then, you were so smart
and talented,
and I thought, "What do I have
to offer this girl?"
And then I thought, "At least
I can help her navigate love."
But then you fell
in love with Amy.
And I overreacted,
and I pushed you away.
And here I have this amazing,
beautiful girl
who must look at me
and say,
"I have nothing
in common with her.
I'm nothing like her."
- Mom, no.
Okay, sure, there are
a lot of ways
that we're not too similar,
but all of the good parts
about me are from you.
- Okay?
Just don't tell Dad that.
- But I look at other kids,
and I think how lucky I am
that you're my mom.
- Thank you, baby.
And I don't think you should
stop seeing Amy
if she makes you happy.
Yeah.
- Thank you, Mom.
- Of course.
- Thank you.
- But you're still grounded
for cutting school,
and don't think
I'm gonna be soft on you
because we've had
this little chat.
- Oh, I know.
- I have to.
I love you.
- I've arranged
for the financing.
It's contingent on you
resigning from my board,
but you shouldn't have
any more problems
or incur any losses.
- And so we both win.
- Were you really gonna
put Mark Logan in charge
Or did you design this
whole thing to force my hand?
- I designed it so
we'd never have to find out
the answer to that question.
Can't things just be simple
between us, Dad?
Why didn't you just
ask for help?
- Bug, everyone parents
in their own way.
And I think, one day,
you'll appreciate the way I am.
And, in any case,
at least I knew enough
to get the hell
out of your life
and let Lewis take care of you.
- Don't you dare
compare yourself to him.
- I'll see you soon, Bug.
- Hello, Daniel?
Where are you?
Uh, stay there.
I can come to you.
- Noa, are you okay?
How'd it go?
- Oh, my God.
You should have seen him.
He showed no remorse,
no consideration
for what
he just put me through.
- Honey, I'm so sorry,
but why am I not surprised?
- It's like--he gets himself
into trouble,
concocts this crazy plan
for me to help him,
and then he acts
like he's doing me a favor?
It took all my willpower
not to make a scene in there.
- Well, then,
damn your willpower
because I would've paid
cash money to see you do that.
- Yeah, but that's
what he would've wanted.
And I'm better than that
because you raised me.
And I'm much more your daughter
than I am his.
- Which is why I'm gonna ask
you to bring your old man
some penne pomodoro
from Lordo's, okay?
'Cause the food here sucks.
- Sure.
First I gotta go see Daniel.
- You wanna talk about it?
- What's there to talk about?
You were sick,
and I didn't even notice,
sothat tells me everything
I need to know.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- What happened
with the board members?
- I won.
- I told you
it was gonna work out.
- Yeah.
- I've been trying
to reach you all day.
- I was in jail.
It's a long story.
I don't even know
where to begin.
- Don't.
- What?
I think we need to stop
seeing each other, Daniel.
- How can you just say that?
- Daniel, when two people
are right for each other,
they make each other's
lives better,
and since we've been together,
your family's fighting,
the bakery's in trouble,
you got arrested,
I almost lost my company.
It's like--how many more people
are gonna have to get hurt
before we get the message?
Oh.
- So that's it?
One bad week and it's over.
- If I were anyone else, no,
but I'm not, Daniel.
- It's so funny you said that.
In all the time
I've known you
This is the first time
you look ordinary to me.
