Selena: The Series (2020) s01e09 Episode Script

Oh, my God, I'm so excited!
VEN CONMIGO TOUR THIS SATURDAY
I'm just waiting for her.
- Hey, watch it!
- Get off her, man!
Come on. Let's go.
Go, go, go!
Stick together. Let her through.
Move! Move! Move!
- Let her through!
- This way! Come this way!
Watch out!
Sel! Don't touch her!
Whoa, where did that come from, girl?
- I don't know. He just grabbed me.
- No, it was awesome!
I've never hit anybody before.
- You used to hit me all the time.
- 'Cause you couldn't hit me back.
Let me see your hand.
- It's fine. It's fine.
- No, lookit.
So that's your idea of crowd control,
wait till there's a riot and then step in?
You should have stayed on the stage.
What's with this guy
who put his hands on my sister?
- Come on.
- Hey, yo, yo. Chill out, man.
- Hey, are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- How's that guy?
- Sit down. Don't worry about that guy.
The two of you stay upstairs.
You take care of your sister.
We're gonna start loading equipment, okay?
Okay.
- You need something?
- No.
Then let's load up.
I'm okay.
Are you kidding me?
What?
Chris. I saw that.
What?
He was just making sure that I was okay.
You told me nothing was going on.
It wasn't.
- And then it was.
- Selena!
It's not okay, okay?
You sneaking around on everyone. On me!
- I was going to tell you.
- Don't.
Don't tell me, okay?
I want you to cut it out before
you screw everything up for nothing.
It's not for nothing. I love him!
You what?
I love him.
Oh, man.
- Dad is gonna go nuts.
- No.
Yes, he will, and then he'll fire him.
You know that, right?
Not if he doesn't find out.
We're being very careful.
No, you're not, okay?
The bus is this small. The rest
of the guys probably already know.
They don't, I'm sure of it.
Well, except… AB.
- What?
- A little, not the extent.
- Suzette, I'm sorry.
- No, no, I get it.
I'll remember that.
Ow.
Hey, guys.
Let's get this loaded, yeah?
- You knew about Selena and Chris?
- No.
- Wait, that's still happening?
- You did know?
I knew they liked each other,
after that, I was out.
I can't believe you let this happen.
Stop yelling at me.
You're not my mom, you're not the boss.
No, you are.
You're supposed to keep the band in line.
She's an adult, all right?
People get to have lives, Suzette.
What's the problem?
Just watch.
This thing's gonna blow up
when it's all finally coming together.
Yo, Joe! Now, please.
- Abraham, can I talk to you for a minute?
- Sure.
What do you need?
Hey. Is there something wrong?
No, I'm just tired.
I'll see you tomorrow.
So, uh, I spoke to José Behar.
Did he talk to you?
He beeped. I have to call him.
Okay, well…
he likes my songs.
The one we sent him.
They should. They're really good songs.
They wanna release my album
as soon as they can.
Of course they do.
If they didn't,
they'd have to deal with me.
Right.
But…
José says José says that I have to tour
behind the record.
Meaning you'd have to leave the band.
Abraham, I love being part of this band.
- You've been so good to me and Joe.
- Son
We didn't know anyone
when you came to Laredo.
- Now I have a solo album because of you.
- Pete.
Selena's success has become your success.
And that's how it's supposed to be.
New branches growing from the same tree.
I'm very proud of you.
You're the tree.
Everybody wins.
Thank you.
So, will you tell AB I'm leaving?
No.
That's on you.
Good luck.
Awesome.
That was crazy.
- Yeah.
- Even the women were fighting.
It was like…
the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
You okay, Sel?
Yeah. The crowd usually gets crazy,
but just not like that.
Yeah, and it's always
on "Baila Esta Cumbia."
- Because it's the biggest hit, no?
- No.
Frequencies.
Huh?
- What?
- Yeah, what are you talking about?
It's something that's in the song.
It's a well-known fact that certain
frequencies make people act weird, right?
Um, yeah, yeah, it is.
I've talked to you about this before.
Ask anyone who's worked in ER
what happens during a full moon.
People have certain internal frequencies,
and music vibrates at certain frequencies.
They interact.
You can't predict it, but it's true.
- Right.
- Or it's just a really good song.
Or that.
You gotta write another one, AB.
The girls will not stop fighting
if you do.
I'm working on it. I got
something bouncing around in my head.
- Yeah?
- What is it?
I don't know, it's like…
it's like right at…
there, right at the tip of whatever…
your tongue is, but for your brain.
Hold on.
- Here he goes.
- Thought I had it.
All right, I got the keys.
- All right.
- Here you go.
Hello.
Hello, Mrs. Quintanilla.
- This is Bill.
- Oh, hi, Bill.
Uh, may I please speak to Mr. Quintanilla?
Yeah. Hold on one second.
He wants to talk to your dad.
Abraham, phone.
To Dad?
It's Bill.
- Yes.
- Hello, Mr. Quintanilla. How are you?
- Fine. How are you?
- Uh, the reason why I'm calling is
to ask for your permission
to take your daughter out.
Uh-huh.
I'd like to take Suzette to a movie,
but only if that's okay with you,
Mr. Quintanilla.
Yes, I think that's fine.
Appreciate the call.
Take care now.
- You're going on a date with Bill.
- What?
- Dad.
- He was asking for permission.
He's gonna give you a call soon.
He's a good guy.
Smart too.
Calling your father.
- Okay, so
- Who was on the phone?
Bill called your father
to ask Suzette out on a date.
- What?
- That's what I said.
- What, you don't wanna go out on a date?
- No, no.
- I do.
- Okay, then.
Yes, that's so great!
Aw, I don't know what to do. Mom.
- Mom, I don't know what to do on a date.
- It'll be fun.
I'm coming, baby.
Martika's waiting.
She said you were playing dolls.
Uh, yeah, I don't wanna play with dolls.
I wanna play with this.
You mean you wanna work.
I got this tune in my head,
and I know that if I can get it down…
I keep losing it.
Hey.
It'll come.
It always does.
Can't believe we have to go back out.
You sure you don't wanna come?
No, he's too small, and I'm too tired.
My mom will help. We're fine.
Yeah, well, I'm not.
Ay-yi-yi.
Come on.
Nothing on the bus smells like that.
Oof.
What?
Ooh!
But everything on the bus
smells like that.
All right, Mama.
Sorry, I gotta go play with dolls.
All dirty.
What's all this?
For Selena.
The label sent it over,
but they said she needs a fan club now
to handle all this.
Big star.
I'll start looking for someone to run it.
Hmm.
Abraham,
we haven't talked about Eagle Pass.
The fight?
Suzette said someone grabbed Selena.
Just a drunk. She's fine.
I know, but is she safe?
A guy got drunk, that's all.
For some of these people,
they've never been that close to a star.
They forget
that there is a real person there.
Remember me with Diana Ross.
Vegas.
The minute I saw her
walking across the lobby,
I wanted to run right up
and tell her how much I loved her,
but I didn't.
You almost did.
- But I didn't.
- You were a few feet away.
But I stopped.
Abraham, she's getting famous.
We don't know
what these people are thinking.
What do you want me to do?
Hire a bunch of bodyguards like Madonna?
Do whatever you need to do
to make her safe.
Always.
What if no one was there to protect her?
I just want her to be safe.
And I know you do too.
Sel, look at this.
There's something called "Mall of America"
opening in Minnesota.
Almost 97 acres and over 500 stores.
Dad, I think we need
to do a show in Minnesota.
- No.
- Come on.
- I think we have a lot of fans there.
- No.
Aww!
They made a blue rose.
They what?
The Japanese
genetically engineered a blue rose.
Rose? Wait.
Never mind. It reminded me of something.
Wow. People really can do amazing things.
It's a great time to be alive.
Oh, you're talking about the mall,
aren't you?
Yeah. What did you say?
- That was
- David.
Guys, David's here.
- Hey, David.
- Hey.
- What's up?
- Hey.
- How are you?
- How you doing?
Good to see you.
What are you doing in Brownwood?
- I had time. I missed you guys.
- Aww, man, we did too. Look.
- David! Hi.
- Hey, Selena.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good.
- Good to see you.
- You too.
Let's go! Let's get unloaded.
Anything for family, yeah.
- How have you been?
- Good.
Dad.
Yeah.
Why's David here?
He's been with us plenty.
Always has been.
No, I know, but why's he here now?
Your mother was worried.
After Eagle Pass.
Dad, that was one time.
I don't want a bodyguard.
I don't want somebody
keeping me from fans.
For now.
For your mother.
Hey, I need you to call this woman for me.
"Yolanda Saldívar."
Who is she?
Someone who wants to help
with Selena's fan club.
Why?
Don't make this difficult.
We need the help. Just manage it.
Just to be clear,
you wanna run Selena's fan club for free?
I already have a job I love.
I would run Selena's fan club
in my free time.
Selena's really busy touring.
It's a lot to take on.
I wouldn't mind.
As her number-one fan,
I would love
to createa network of support for Selena.
And the band.
You'd have to answer piles of mail
and process merchandise
and keep them updated with upcoming tours.
I could put together a monthly newsletter.
Maybe charge a small membership fee?
Her fans are really important to her.
And we're so loyal to her
because we see ourselves in her.
She's like us.
Like me.
- We're good. You good?
- Yeah.
- Okay. All right. That was good.
- Okay.
Excuse me.
"Excuse me"?
What is that?
Uh, we have to be cool right now.
David's watching me all the time.
Oh, well,
is he your bodyguard or your dad's spy?
I don't know, Chris.
Can you just not make it harder?
All right, well, whatever.
Why so down?
What?
Shut up, dude.
I need some help for this next song.
You, sir.
Yes, you. Please, come here.
Do you know what to do?
Yeah?
Give it up for my ex-boyfriend!
What did you think?
That I was going to forgive you? ♪
That I would forget
How much you hurt me? ♪
But I've learned to live without you ♪
You are not needed here anymore ♪
So you can leave ♪
What did you think? ♪
That you were going to return ♪
And you were going to find me ♪
Happy to take you? ♪
Well, no, it's not like that anymore ♪
I don't want to hear from you ♪
So you can leave ♪
What did you think? ♪
What did you think? ♪
No more words ♪
You tell me you love me
While you're looking away… ♪
Why are you mad at me?
Mad? What are you talking about?
I feel like you were singing to me
and not to that cowboy out there.
I perform "Qué Creías" every night.
Look, if I'm being broken up with,
just let me know.
I'll be fine.
You'll be fine?
I know we need
to be careful right now, but…
I feel like the last thing
you wanna think about or even see is me.
- And I feel stupid for even
- Are you kidding me?
You are the only thing that I think about.
Nothing else.
Except for what your Dad thinks.
I'm trying not to get you fired.
- I'm trying to protect you.
- I I don't need protection.
I need to know
if you're in or if you're out.
'Cause when it comes down to what you want
or what your family wants…
I think we both know
where that's gonna go.
No! No more words ♪
You tell me you love me
While you're looking away… ♪
I think we know "Qué Creías" goes
on the album. The crowd loves it.
As long as some jealous woman doesn't
charge the stage one night, we're good.
What else?
Hmm.
I was thinking "Las Cadenas,"
but a little bit more of a rock vibe.
- Less.
- Less what?
Less rock.
Bring the guitar down in the mix.
Dad, I mixed it
so that we can feature Chris' skills.
We're not a headbanger band.
I know you don't like him,
but this is about expanding the fan base.
So what about the fans that we do have?
Where are the cumbias?
- We have "La Carcacha."
- Hmm.
A song about a junky car is a novelty.
We need a hit.
Dad, I know. I'm working on it.
Platinum.
That's what they said we need
to get the crossover album.
The only way we get platinum
is if we bring them something big.
Number-one big.
- Right. Number one.
- Mm-hmm.
- On it.
- Good.
How about your mom? Does she feel better?
She's doing good. Nothing can stop her.
You getting ready for your show?
Where are you right now?
Yeah, we're playing in…
AB, where are we?
- Norman.
- Norman.
- Oklahoma?
- Yes.
- Oklahoma.
- I'd love to see you play.
How far is Norman from Corpus?
I don't know.
Are there other Normans
or just in Oklahoma?
I don't know, okay?
I just wanna use the phone.
Yeah, Bill,
my brother's having a cow right now.
So I'll just have to call you later. Bye.
- Right. Do you mind if I call my wife?
- You mind if I laugh at you? 'Cause I am.
I need you to make this better.
"Ámame."
Yeah, should be simple enough.
You'd think.
You like him, don't you?
Bill.
I do.
I know.
That's good.
Well, I was thinking about AB.
How he misses his family.
I guess I never got
what it's like for him before.
Wanting to be with someone, but you can't.
How that feels.
Seriously?
What?
Oh, yeah.
I'm always thinking ♪
About your love and nothing else ♪
I'm tired of this dream ♪
I want to make it come true ♪
Uh-huh! Make up your mind, my love
I'm losing control ♪
Time is passing by, and I can't wait ♪
Because without you
It's like not being alive ♪
If you made me yours
I would be happy ♪
Love me ♪
I'm dying to kiss you ♪
Love me ♪
Whoa, love me ♪
I do.
What?
I love you.
How was your show?
The show was good.
Great.
So, when do I get to see you next?
Oh, I don't know.
Where are you right now?
Texas.
I know, silly, but where are you?
- Oh, wait.
- You're headed to the next place, right?
Bryan, Texas.
Mm-hmm.
Try a different key.
What's up, gentlemen?
I need food.
Anyone?
I'm fine. Thanks, Ricky.
So, I talked to your dad.
About what?
Going solo.
What?
After this tour is done.
No!
EMI loves the record we made.
- This is a huge opportunity for me.
- No, you can't!
Hear me out, please.
I still want you there with me.
I want you to produce it for me, man.
Come on, AB!
- Good night.
- All right, good night. See you tomorrow.
Sel!
Wait, what's wrong?
You and Chris. What the hell?
- Stop. Not so loud.
- Why?
Everybody already knows.
- You want Dad to find out?
- No!
No, I think we're gonna tell him.
And what? He's gonna throw you a party?
- No.
- Stop.
He's gonna burn the whole band down.
We're gonna be back where we started,
and it's gonna be because of you.
AB.
AB.
But when I think about being on stage…
…and you on bass and Suzette on the drums,
nothing else matters.
Aww, thank you.
- That's so sweet.
- You too.
It shines
from the inside out, just like you.
Thank you.
Hey, hurry up, man.
That's good, I like it.
Shh!
- What's going on?
- I got it.
I think it's that thing
he's been working on.
Okay, but why isn't he wearing any pants?
It's about a flower.
It's supposed to last forever,
but it doesn't.
Como la flor ♪
Con tanto amor ♪
Yeah, I like that. Like that.
It's been stuck in my head for five years,
and it all just came out at once.
Well, people get ideas in the shower
because running water relaxes the muscles
that squeeze the brain,
and it blocks out sound,
so we can hear our subconscious work.
That's interesting.
Put the chicken down and come help.
Put on some pants and I will.
Don't forget it.
Okay, do it again.
Okay.
And "marchito," what does that mean?
Marchito. Wilted.
- Marchito.
- Marchito.
Okay.
Okay, so…
Okay.
My gosh, that's sad.
'Cause flowers only wilt if you cut them.
You know, if you nourish them,
if you feed them, they grow.
So what do you think
the guy should have brought her?
A rosebush?
- In a pot?
- No.
- Would that make the song better?
- Okay.
No, it's…
it's beautiful.
I love it.
All right.
- Let's finish it.
- Yeah.
Hi.
Hey.
What are you thinking about over there,
all serious?
Nothing.
Aw, come on. Tell me.
No, you're gonna think it's dumb.
No, I won't. I promise.
I was thinking…
if butterflies
remember being caterpillars.
- What?
- Yeah, like, do they…
do they think, "Hey, remember
when I couldn't fly? That sucked."
Or Or do butterflies dream
about being caterpillars and…
wake up and wonder if any of it was real?
So…
this is what's been going on
in your head all day?
Yeah. Why, what were you thinking about?
Not that.
Why are you thinking about butterflies?
Well, actually,
I was thinking about the caterpillar.
Huh.
You know, everything is…
everything's changing right now,
everything, and…
people keep telling me,
"Get ready, Selena.
It's all happening. The solo career.
Fly, Selena." Like a…
mmm, like a butterfly.
I don't know, but everything…
everything I've ever loved is
in the caterpillar.
- Everything?
- No.
Not everything.
Mm. No, not here.
Chris! Chris.
Chris!
Do you not want any fries?
Eh, just one.
How are you just gonna eat one fry?
'Cause I'm stronger than you, that's how.
- What time do you work tomorrow?
- Oh, not till one.
That's good.
- Dad, stop.
- Hey, want to get me a refill?
- Dad, please, listen to me.
- What's going on there?
- Oh, my God.
- Did you know about this?
- Is that Selena?
- No.
- They've been seeing each other?
- I think it's Selena!
I was going to tell you.
And you, you're fired!
Dad, you can't fire him.
Dad, we're in love!
You're not in love. Get on the bus.
- No.
- Selena.
We are, man. We were gonna tell you.
- Dad, stop! No!
- Do you have money to call someone?
- Stop!
- Get on the bus.
- Get in the bus, Selena.
- Mom, please. Please talk to him.
Are you not gonna say anything to him?
Dad, we didn't do anything.
Abraham, you don't have to do this.
You call somebody who cares.
You are not going to destroy
everything that I worked for.
Abraham.
You… you knew this was happening,
yes or no?
- I thought it was over.
- You knew and you didn't tell me.
I'm not her babysitter.
- She's 20!
- You didn't have to fire him.
- We have an album to finish.
- We'll figure it out.
- We're on tour!
- We'll find someone!
I'll find someone else! Like always.
You never liked him!
I know his type.
- You don't know anything about him.
- Well, this is the way that it has to be.
- Selena.
- You're better off.
Whoo! ♪
