45 Revoluciones (2019) s01e12 Episode Script

NETFLIX PRESENTS Oh my god.
Make some room, please.
Get out of the way.
- Mr.
Alfredo.
- Get out! - Mr.
Alfredo.
- What will happen now? Feli, Mr.
Alfredo's daughter, wants to have the wake here.
We'll say some nice words, time will pass and it will all be a memory.
- He isn't here for anything good.
- No.
- Do you have a minute? - What do you want? I want you to explain why you've been avoiding me.
You got locked up for faggot.
I don't want that to happen to me, so forget about me.
Vidal wants to buy Mr.
Alfredo's shares from Feli.
The good news is Feli wants me to buy them.
- And the bad? - I have to match Vidal's offer it's an amount with a lot of zeros and I only have 48 hours to get it.
Ok, I'm going to help you.
It should be easier - to buy the shares between us.
- Are you offering me a partnership? They were my bosses at Decca.
Given our situation, I offered them to meet you and they said yes.
We want to hear you play.
If we like you, - we'd make you an offer.
- To join Decca.
You'd win a lot of money.
You brought me here for this? I already have a label.
- Good-bye.
- The deal would be: The first payment would take place now, when we sign.
The rest, in installments.
The problem is Vidal has the total amount, and he pays now.
One more day.
We'll get the rest of the money.
We're looking for funding When did I fail you? - Please, don't do this to me.
- Any news? - He didn't get it.
- I got the money, enough for Guillermo to buy the shares.
I'm glad you thought it over.
If you sign with Decca, you'll be rich.
- Ok, but I want the money in advance.
- Don't worry, I'm on it.
Come with me to London.
If you don't come with me, I can't go.
You're making me choose between us and my job, like Diego did.
- No, this is different.
- Why? Because if you don't come with me, I'm not sure we'll see each other again.
I'm not better.
I lied, I'm worse.
I don't want Futura to die if I can help it.
Guillermo, I - You're leaving with him? - I'm sorry.
You'll be fine.
And you'll be missed.
I came to tell you something else, I'm moving to London with Robert.
- When? - In a few days, he has a new label.
Take care, ok? I can help you prepare a viable option for the bank to give you a loan.
I tried already, it didn't work.
Plus, I already have the money.
But you lose your star and right hand in exchange.
- Why do you want to help me? - I don't want Maribel to leave either.
- Hello.
Am I interrupting? - Who's this? - My old producer.
- We'll see about old.
- If you could chose, would you stay? - I don't understand, explain it.
We put your next album's profits as a guarantee.
If they're half as good as the first, in two or three years we're debt free.
We have three busy years ahead and we all depend on you now.
- A bit more to the left.
- Left? - No, the other way.
No - I don't understand.
Like this? - A bit more.
- It doesn't work.
This or that? - I don't understand you.
- C'mon, honey, really - You're making me very nervous! - Ok, ok.
it might sound familiar: the music, the stars.
Which is what we see first when we turn our TV on and the Eurovision Festival begins.
We're so excited Don't get so excited yet because there's still lots to come.
- It's gone again.
No.
Ok.
- Who wants a soda? - who will represent Spain.
- Sit down.
And tonight, on Carrusel Musical, we'll know who will be honored to represent us at the grand finale.
We're Tony Leblanc and Laura Valenzuela.
Let's meet the first candidate.
45 REVOLUTIONS As new partners of Golden and Futura, we want to tell you we're going to fight for these labels to grow.
We care about you and your families' future.
We aren't going to lie, you probably heard.
We were about to be absorbed by Eugenio Vidal.
Which would've meant losing our jobs, but that didn't happen, and here we are.
Mr.
Rojas and myself have gathered enough money to buy Mr.
Alfredo's shares, may he rest in peace.
But as you all imagine, we depend on the benefits of our next projects.
So we can't slow down, we have to give it our all.
Everyone.
Specially Robert, he's the reason a bank trusted us.
Let's give him the applause he deserves.
- That's all.
Back to work.
- Let's go.
- When are you planning on telling him? - I don't know.
The only reason he got the loan was because you're the guarantee.
You heard it, it all depends on you.
- It's done, what can I do? - Tell him the truth.
Yes.
"Hey, you put my next record's profits as guarantee, but there might not be records because I'm dying.
Sorry I didn't tell you".
There are other ways of saying it.
Whatever the way, they all sound terrible.
So, you're not going to say anything and we'll see what happens? - Pedro Zabala? - Yes.
How can I help you? - Let's go to the meeting room.
- Of course.
Can you join us, please? Follow me.
- Who's this? - It's Fraga's right hand, from the Information and Tourism Office.
They don't come often, but when they do - they're like an elephant in a warehouse.
- What do they want? Nothing good for sure.
We want to take advantage at the Ministery of the enormous repercussion that the festival has to send a positive image of Spain, an image more in line with the reality and that will overcome the bad press that is out there.
The European Song Festival can open the world's eyes - to our beloved country.
- If we can contribute in any way, well That's the reason for my visit.
As you know, every year there's a contest to chose the Spanish candidate.
We want you to submit a candidate this year.
We're working on it.
We want to take advantage of the occasion to show the world Fanny's new image.
There's no problem for that girl to be a part of the contest, but we want that boy: Robert.
Who do you mean by "we"? It's coming from above.
We were asked specifically.
Varela.
Teresita Miralles' party got people talking.
Robert's pictures are everywhere.
Since then the higher spheres love him and also at Palacio del Pardo.
Carmencita, the Generalísimo's oldest granddaughter, has her room wallpapered with pictures of him.
She has good taste.
That's that.
I hope I was clear.
A pleasure to have you.
We'll take note of you suggestion.
- I didn't suggest anything.
- I mean about Robert.
Me too.
That man will be in the contest, end of discussion.
- Count on it.
- Arriba España! - Arriba! - Arriba.
Arriba, arriba.
- Now you're the Regime's cute boy.
- Don't fuck with me.
I don't like it either, but they insist on you being a contestant to represent Spain at the festival.
It's a great platform.
I don't know why you say it so sadly.
Yes, it is.
We're taking Fanny to show her new image.
- I can't see the problem.
- They want to decide Robert's image.
They want you to sing in Spanish, comb your hair, wear a suit.
- They don't want you, they want him.
- To give his regime a young image.
A pet.
If he goes on like that, we'd be throwing in the trash all the work we did.
If he connects with the youth is because he represents rebellion and freedom, - the opposite to this.
- That's why they want him.
- To show they can tame a beast.
- Can we say no? It's always hard with them, but not impossible.
It's your decision.
- Don't worry, I'll do it.
- Are you sure? Let's not rush.
We can always make up an excuse.
You don't have to do it if you're uncomfortable.
It's not the worst.
If I win, we access the European market.
That's selling tons of records.
- As promotion, it's priceless.
- That's all, let's do it.
Ignacio, we need a song for Robert.
I have some songs.
We could adapt one.
Wasn't it your thing to sing in English? You're ok singing in Spanish? I don't write the rules.
We'll have to suck it up.
- Are you crazy? - I don't have an option.
- I should've left with Decca.
- Why? Because Guillermo would have the money, now he's mortgaged up to his ears.
Golden and Futura depend on me.
You think I want to go up there and sing whatever they want me to? I don't like it one bit.
Think it through.
If we win this contest, we go to the festival, we can access the international market.
That means selling a lot of records and winning a lot of money.
We may not need three years to pay the loan, a few months would suffice.
- I think I can take it for a few months.
- It's a lot of work in a short time.
- I'm afraid you won't handle it.
- I have to try.
I have to win that contest, ok? - Tell me it's a joke.
- No, it isn't.
- It feels like one.
- You mustn't see Robert as a rival and you have to keep the positive side in mind.
- Which is? - You're going to be in the gala, you're going to blow them away and you might even go to the festival.
Yesterday I had all that and I was Futura's single candidate.
You did it on purpose, to shift all the attention on you.
- What? I don't want anything.
- Please, I wasn't born yesterday.
I've been in ten movies, you don't have to act with me.
If I could avoid it, I would.
I have no other option, - I have to be in this contest.
- No other option.
Poor boy.
You know what I hate the most? That first you woo me over with this new Fanny stuff, my new hair, clothes, music You're always saying I'm unique, Futura's bet.
- Because you are.
- Not feeling it.
Let's do this.
Let's relax, rehearse, - and we talk later.
- I'm in no mood to rehearse now.
This was going to be my presentation, my moment.
Mine.
I don't understand why I have to compete with Robert.
The last thing I want is to compete with you, ok? - Calm down! - Listen to me, Fanny.
You have to trust me, ok? You're going to blow them away and Spain's going to fall in love with you, your image, your voice, everything.
That's if they don't prefer Robert.
The rehearsal is off.
Man! - Tino, as always.
- What always? This last week's always, a soda.
So, for making it to partner and having your artists competing at Eurovision, you don't look happy.
Yes, I'm happy.
But I'm also in a bad mood.
Happy, but in a bad mood.
Very coherent.
I was happy until those people showed up - and told us what to do.
- You're hearing this now? "Don't make a mess, play this music, or grow your hair long" Long hair? I don't know that it's for you.
Fuck you.
I'm sick of them telling me what to do or think, and of having to be careful what you say because "They might hear you".
Guillermo, you're free to say whatever but be careful here, ok? I don't want trouble.
That's what I mean.
Why? Do they own the country? What do you want me to say? How are you? - Thanks.
- dear listeners, we know the names of the artists that will compete to represent Spain at Eurovision.
Gelu, Mike Rivers, José Guardiola, the film and music star; Fanny and the teen idol Robert.
- Which of them will be chosen? - Hello.
I came to thank you for helping Guillermo with the loan.
Why did you do it? It's what banks do.
We get money from here and invest it where we see a good opportunity, while trying to keep away from risks.
Yes.
What would happen if Robert's career didn't go well? Why wouldn't it? He's a candidate for Eurovision, isn't he? - They just said it on TV.
- Seems like it.
But imagine that suddenly Robert's career is shorter than what expected.
Don't be so negative.
- It's curiosity.
- Robert's the guarantee.
If his career didn't go well, it would all go down, to use a metaphor.
Guillermo wouldn't be able of facing the debt, and, Golden an Futura would have to close.
But, relax.
Tell your boy to win that contest, to work hard a few years - and it'll all be fine.
You'll see.
- Yes, of course.
I was here to say thank you and I did.
Happy to see you.
And I'm happy you didn't go to London.
I mean, that way we can still meet for a drink and - chat, right? - Whenever you want.
- Are we ready to go, honey? - Of course.
- How are you? - Good, and you? I was so excited when I heard - Mom.
- Hi.
- We're here.
- I was downstairs, but she saw me.
- I'll change and we can go, ok? - No way.
You stay here, Robert has to tell all the details.
- Robert? He's not "Roberto" anymore.
- No.
"Robert", of course.
He's like family now.
I'm so proud of you.
She has never told me that.
Nonsense.
I'm very, very proud.
- European Song Festival, wow.
- I'm one of the contenders.
We have to compete amongst ourselves and the one who wins goes to the festival.
It's going to be you, listen to me.
I have a hunch.
Why don't I go to Golden tomorrow, and we have a celebration lunch.
- On me.
- Wonderful.
I'm going to look for some appetizers and something to toast with.
I want all the details.
Robert, I'm so excited! She seems happier.
I don't know if it's the pill, or if she's over my Dad, but she's after me all day making plans.
I know, I've been here 20 minutes and she offered to go to the movies and for a snack on Sunday.
I thought she hated me.
I'd say she adores you, "Robert".
The festival had to have something good.
I'm here.
Maribel, get some glasses.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Mr.
Zabala is waiting for you in his office, he's with Vidal.
- How to start the day on the wrong side.
- What this says, his agenda is free at nine.
We'll find some way to sheer him up.
I can think of a way, yes.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Nines.
- Yes? I need you to call all the musicians on this list and, even if they've done it already this is our press release for the contest.
I'll be right on it.
Anything else? I see you speaking with Guillermo a lot lately.
Me? The usual.
I saw you chatting, smiling You know.
I know? I thought there might be something between you, but maybe it's just my imagination.
Or maybe not.
Did something happen? Everything happened.
It started like nonsense, but now the stars aligned and - You're together? - No, not together.
This is a fling, fun, a little something.
We see each other some nights, but after we each go home.
- I don't need any complications.
- I hope.
I care for Guillermo, - but I think he still has old open wounds.
- No, don't worry.
Go to work, I'm very busy.
Sorry I didn't ask before.
How are you feeling? You're so kind today.
I'm going to cry.
A drink? No, thanks.
I'm saying because, you thought you would keep all this but you have to be partners in the end, that must sting a bit, right? A bit, I won't lie.
But you said it, we're partners now, and that's why we should bury the war's axe underground - and go in the same direction.
- Yes, that should be nice.
And that port is the Eurovision Festival.
We can win a lot of money easily.
- We agree on that.
- I need you to speak with your boy and let him know we need to do this one right.
We need him at his best behavior, with no outbursts or jokes, ok? He only needs to sing and smile, the rest is done.
He has to win the contest first.
Don't worry, he's going to.
I spoke with the vice minister.
It seems like Carmencita insisted a lot on how exciting it would be if he won.
And the Generalísimo can't say no to her granddaughters wishes.
So the contest is rigged before it even starts.
"Rigged" is an ugly word, let's say it's a suggestion.
If you ask the jury, the winner would be Jose Guardiola.
But Robert is the Regime's favorite.
And if we want to do business, we're interested in that situation.
- He's going to love it.
- I don't care, the contest is won.
On one condition, he plays the role and his behavior is exemplary.
Starting tonight.
- What happens tonight? - You're going to love it.
Guess what movie star hates me for entering the contest.
I think Fanny isn't speaking to me again.
She isn't the only one who thinks this is all a mistake.
- You too? - No, I'm thrilled.
You have pictures with the same people that put me in jail and now it turns out you're the Regime's favorite.
- I'm not happy.
- I don't like it one fucking bit that those pictures were published.
I gave that concert to help you.
- Ok, forgive me.
- Ok.
I'm angry, but not with you, with myself.
I feel all this is somehow my fault.
If you hadn't gone to that party, you wouldn't be those fascists favorite - and wouldn't have to do all this.
- If I hadn't gone to that party, I wouldn't have a songwriter.
And I like him.
Let's look at the bright side of all this shit, ok? - Does it have one? - If we play it right, we might reach the festival.
You have two songs, so that's two opportunities for you.
This is going to work for all of us.
For you, me, Futura, all of us.
Keep that in mind.
The good side.
- Can we rehearse? - Yes, let's rock and roll.
Let's do it.
- How was it? - Why did you cut all the bridges? - The performance is one minute and a half.
- But the song's just verse-chorus.
We go right to what sticks, what people will remember.
If you cut all the bridges, the song doesn't make sense.
I said it too, you can't understand the lyrics So none of you like the decisions I made.
Awesome.
- Sorry for trying to do my job right.
- Don't take it that way, - I don't want you to be mad too.
- I'm trying to say that maybe we can try it other way.
If the song's too long, - we can cut the second verse.
- We can.
Don't take it personally, you shouldn't turn down a good idea.
- What you think is a good idea, right? - So, you can critic my work but I can't speak of yours.
I know what's wrong, you're upset of what I said of your work on the record.
Calm down.
The song is new, we don't have much time, we're all nervous, - but please, let's all get along.
- Robert, Maribel, I need to talk to you, in private.
- It hasn't started and I already won? - Sort of, yes.
Bullshit.
I want to win because a jury - chooses me.
- The jury saw you and chose you.
- That's unfair to the rest, isn't it? - Listen, there's a reception at the Ministry.
All the candidates have to go.
Yes.
And the winner can't miss it.
Someone important wants to meet you.
Who? Are you ok? I didn't know so many reporters would come.
You're nervous? You've been doing this half your life.
Nervous? Not at all.
I'm going to the powder room, ok? Sure.
He really has to greet Carmen Polo and her granddaughter? - Why don't I ask for Carmencita's hand? - Don't you dare, he'll give it to you.
They're all here.
Only the Generalísimo is missing.
He's opening a swamp.
My god, I could use a drink right now You're finally here.
Mrs.
Carmen will greet the candidates one by one.
When it's your turn, you kiss her hand, greet the girl, and when they ask why you want to represent Spain, you say how proud you are of your country.
And thank the Regime for bringing peace and prosperity.
If they ask, you give them your soul.
I don't want any nonsense.
This contest is won.
You'll be a national symbol.
But you'll have to do what you're told for once in your life, ok? So now I have to sing for them, and do and say as they please.
That's the price to pay for being the winner.
I'll say this again: you don't have to do this.
We can leave right now, and end this circus.
- We're in no hurry to win money.
- Don't worry.
Fanny went to the powder room and didn't return.
Go find her because this is about to start.
What's wrong? It's about to start.
Leave me alone, I'm not going out until my hair grows again.
- I don't want anyone to see me.
- Fanny, I'm going to say what no one has ever told you.
You're in an unbearable mood.
- Excuse me? - I'm sorry, but we can't stand you.
You're making everybody's life impossible.
And I can't understand why.
Didn't you want a change? - Yes, but - But what? The stylists found Paris' latest trends, Ignacio wrote you amazing songs, Maribel is working so hard for you.
I'm sure the new Fanny - is going to blow everyone away.
- What if they don't like her? How is that even possible? You have an amazing voice and you look beautiful.
- You only want me to feel better.
- No.
I say it because you look great.
I always thought you're the most beautiful woman in the world.
Every time I saw you in magazines, I would stare at you, mesmerized.
I got to intense, did I? But it was very nice.
It had been a while that anybody was so honest with me.
Thanks.
So, what? Shall we show everyone the new Fanny? - Yes.
- Let's go.
- Mrs.
Carmen, this is Julio Iglesias.
- My pleasure.
Jose Guardiola.
He was at Carmencita's birthday.
Yes, good luck, Jose.
- Mrs.
Carmen, he's - No need.
I know who he is.
The girl can't stop talking about him.
- I love your songs.
- Great, thanks.
Would you like to represent us at the European Song Festival? - What are we doing? - I have no idea.
It would be a great honor to represent my country and prove to the world that Franco brought us peace and prosperity.
She doesn't need a presentation, she's our beloved Fanny.
- Very nice to see you again, Mrs.
Carmen.
- I love your new haircut.
Thank you.
- Hello, Maribel.
- Hi, Dad.
I always thought of this place as a slum, but it has its charm.
- What do you want to drink? - Nothing.
- Why did you call me? - I wanted to see you.
But I can tell you're mad at me.
I'm not mad.
I'm sad.
I didn't know if I would see you again.
Do you know how we felt - since you left? - I didn't want your mother to suffer, or you, but if I stayed home I knew I would explode at any moment.
I couldn't take it anymore, I needed to live again.
And I couldn't do that with your mother.
- But you can with Lola.
- Lola makes me happy.
I don't want your blessing.
Not right now, but it's the truth.
I guess you love her like you never loved Mom.
Love isn't everything.
Love isn't enough.
Lola makes me a better person.
And she feels the same.
You can love someone and make her unhappy at the same time.
It's been a long time that your mother and I don't get along, we have nothing in common.
We love each other, but it's not enough.
You had me in common.
Yes.
If it hadn't been for you, I would've left many years ago.
I remember the day I was about to do it.
You were four years old, asleep on the couch.
We started to fight, yell.
You didn't even wake up, I guess you were used to our yelling.
At one point, your mother slapped me, slammed the door and left.
When you woke up, I had packed my suitcase.
I had decided to leave when your mother returned, but it got late, and at supper time, your mother was still gone.
So I took you to the kitchen and made supper.
I won't forget because, I felt you put your hand on my arm, and when I looked at you, you were crying, in silence.
That night, when you fell asleep, I unpacked my bag.
Your mother came back so I wasn't capable of leaving.
Not that night or the next one or any night, until today.
Lola's leaving her husband.
It isn't going to be easy, but we want to live together.
When we move in, I would like you to come and get to know her.
Will you? - I didn't know you'd returned.
- Yes, I have work.
The reception went well, right? He sold his soul to the devil for money, but he behaved.
Let's not get worked up.
This company's accounts is liking that the boy sings in the festival.
Yes, but I hate that he has to play along to these people.
We'll get our principles back when we pay the debt.
I was looking for you.
Ready? Yes Can you give me five minutes? - Yes.
- Thank you.
"Five minutes.
" I hope they're not twenty.
Can I have a drink while I wait? You really know how to treat a guest.
No more alcohol for me, Ángeles.
Not at home or at work.
- I have to be focused.
- That's a surprise.
Are you sick or did you decide to grow up? I'm not sick.
I'm happy to see you like this, you look well.
- You didn't like me before? - Did you like you? The last one out of the office, no alcohol - You even look better.
- It's a lot of pressure.
Your nice husband and I are partners now.
And with Vidal always around we can't afford any mistakes, - there's too much at stake.
- For me too.
Since Pedro decided to mortgage the house to buy the shares, the kid and I depend on this too.
I don't have a career anymore, so if you go down, we all fallow.
- That won't happen, you have my word.
- I'm ready, let's go.
See you at the contest, right? We don't have two artists at the European Song Festival every day.
Pedro didn't say I could go with him.
I didn't say because it's a work thing, but you're welcome to come.
Don't be so excited about it I hadn't thought about it, but I love the idea.
Of course.
Great, see you there then.
I'm not thrilled about it, but - since Pedro's so excited - Ángeles, please.
Sorry.
Ok.
How was it? Signed a lot of records for Franco's granddaughter? What do you want me to do? To go out there and tell everyone what I think about Franco and the lack of freedom? You know very well how that would end.
You told me to look on the bright side and I tried.
I thought this was for a greater good, it was only music, but it's a lie.
You kissed Franco's wife's hand today.
What are the kids listening to your songs going to think now? Those who fought with their parents to listen to you, to be who they are, for trying to be free.
Do you know what you told them today? You have to bow your head and look the other way.
Really? Do you really think there's still a bright side? I can't do what I feel like now.
Futura depends on me.
Thank you so much for saving us.
But it's something else to become the Regime's favorite The first time I saw you play I thought you were authentic, you sang and did whatever you wanted, you were free, right? And that impressed me.
Today, when I listened to you on the radio, I felt pity.
Good luck in the contest.
But you're not going to need it with the friends you have up there.
You're here already? I brought you the cakes you like so much.
And some gifts.
Just some jewelry.
- What are you doing here? - I've been thinking and said: "There's no place I'd rather be than with my family".
You mean the other woman didn't want to leave with you.
- No, it wasn't that.
- She couldn't, then.
- Why don't we have the cakes? - Leave the damn cakes alone! Do you really think you can come and go as you please? And we're going to be waiting for you because you finally decided - to bless us with your presence? - No.
I'm sorry.
I made a mistake, but I would like to fix it.
It's too late.
You should have thought about it before leaving us.
Please, Elisa.
Honey Don't "honey" me, because we don't mean nothing at all.
Get those bags out of here! - I'm sorry, Dad, but Mom is right.
- I know.
- This is for you.
- Thank you.
So this is a pond full of fish and, what are the chances, I brought my fishing rod.
It has to go really bad for us not to sign someone.
Jose Guardiola better sign with Golden, he's not much of a rock singer.
Alright.
- Do you mind? - No, go ahead.
Give me a moment.
- How are you? - What's up? Are we nervous or what? Ready? - Let's do this.
- Yes.
Do you have a light? Ready.
- Are you Robert? - Yes.
- We're competing tonight.
I'm Julio.
- Nice to meet you.
- Have you been doing this long? - I played football before, but I had a car accident and good-bye football.
But I don't complain.
I like singing.
And the best part is the girls.
That's true.
Good luck.
You're off to a great future.
Not tonight, you're the winner.
And you know it.
Fanny, you look great.
Doesn't she? If you're trying to avoid a panic attack, it isn't working.
Relax, you still have time.
Breathe deeply.
Excuse me, ladies.
Fanny get ready.
You'll be the first one, ok? - I'm so nervous - Roberto.
When you're done, stay around.
Carmencita's here - and she wants a picture with you.
- We'll be here, Mr.
Vice Minister.
You don't need to stay, miss.
They only asked for Robert.
- Are you ok? - Wonderfully.
You look amazing, you're going to be great.
A bit more to the left.
- No, the other side.
No - I don't understand.
This way? - A little bit more.
- It doesn't work.
Here or there? - I don't understand you.
- Oh my word - Really - You're making me nervous! - Leave them there.
- Now, now.
- might be familiar, - There, come, look.
the music, the stars.
It's the first thing we see on our screens when the European Festival begins.
We're all so excited Don't get so excited, because there's still time for that.
- It's gone again.
- No, no! There, there! We still don't know who will represent Spain.
That's why we're here.
And tonight, on Carrusel Musical, we'll know who will be honored to represent us at the grand finale.
We're Tony Leblanc and Laura Valenzuela.
Let's meet the first candidate.
You and me? Where? Let's go, with the first contestant.
If we say you're about to listen to Estefania Rodriguez Lopez, - you won't budge.
- Some less than others.
You're in in five.
- Good luck, although you don't need it.
- Blow them away, ok? - Good luck.
- Fanny! Fanny entering stage.
- Hello.
- Hello.
What are you doing here? Aren't you introducing us? Yes.
This is Ignacio, Robert's songwriter.
- Hi.
- She's Alejandra, my girlfriend.
I've heard so much about you.
Me too So much about you.
- She's radiant, right? - Yes.
Where's Zabala? There, working Mike Rivers up.
- I'll call you Tuesday.
And Wednesday - Wednesday? Yes.
You couldn't Understand my heart What was in it, because you Didn't have the courage To see who I am You didn't listen to what is So close to you Only the noise outside, and I By your side, disappear To you I'm not going to cry and say I don't deserve this Because I might Deserve it, but I don't want it That's why I have to go It's sad but, good-bye I say farewell to you and I know There's something better for me Someone who will love me - She's good.
- Very.
Who will be sweet And make The sun come out I thought We would never be apart Look at how they watch her, they like it.
But I understood today There isn't enough For both of us - She's got something special.
- I'm not going to cry and say I don't deserve this because - Are you ok? - Yes.
- I might deserve it - It moves me to see her there.
But I don't want it I forgot the feeling it is when you're on stage, - and all eyes are on you.

- What's wrong? - Nothing.
Please, leave.
I'm not here.
You're fine and I'm not here.
I thought this couldn't hurt me anymore, I was over it and didn't miss it.
I was going to be huge, remember? And what for, I'm nothing.
- You still can.
- Please If you want, I can say what I said years ago, the first time I heard you sing I felt you were born for it and I'd never met anyone with your talent.
It's still like that, no one has ever made me feel that.
I'm not that person anymore.
I'm Jorge's mother now, Zabala's wife.
I'm not me anymore.
Do you know why I never sang again? It reminded me of you, of us, and how much I loved you.
I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me.
I thought that after all these years, - it was all dead and buried.
- But it clearly isn't.
I mean the music.
Wasn't it all mixed up? - I have to go back.
- Yes, of course.
And now, our next contender.
- Jose Guardiola.
- Big applause.
Did you watch Fanny? She was wonderful and now it's your turn.
Are you ok? Yes, it's the heat in here, it's an oven.
- Are you sure you're ok? - Roberto, you're time has come.
I came to wish you luck, but who are we fooling? I'll just say congratulations.
Please tell me if something's wrong Everything's wrong.
I'm not ok with this.
It's bullshit.
He just congratulated me without me deserving it.
I heard it.
You're right, it's all a show.
It's rigged.
- But they're the ones cheating, not you.
- I'm letting them use me.
Ignacio's right.
Look at me, I'm the Regime's fucking pet.
- You need to calm down.
- I don't want to go out there and win.
I don't want pictures with Carmencita or interviews adoring the Regime.
I'm going to have to dine at the Pardo.
- Are you done? - Yes.
You know I feel the same and I know how hard this is, but you're going on that stage and giving your best concert ever.
And you're doing it for Futura and Guillermo.
Robert.
Forget about them, think about me.
Sing it to me, ok? And now, buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, because one of this year's musical sensations are about to perform.
- They're - Robert and Los Truenos.
The most beautiful one Made people stand up More nights up than the moon Everything was fine This song is so beautiful.
- Thanks.
- In 1963 From Malaga to La Coruña Sleeping in the train station Rooftop star Had the most rock And roll of us all Us cats were hanging Lady Madrid Rooftop star Had the most rock and roll of all Us cats were hanging He's so good.
The sound is great, it's obvious you worked as a team.
Had all the vices But so hard to grab - Where were you? - Where were you? Working.
I just signed Mike Rios for two years.
The first thing I'm doing is changing his shitty name.
Well, you've had a good night.
- Do you know where Ángeles is? - No idea.
If you're coming back.
- Rooftop star - There you go.
Had the most Rock and roll of us all Us cats were hanging Lady Madrid Rooftop star Had the most Rock and roll of all Us cats were hanging Lady Madrid It seems the jury has made a decision.
Who will the winner be? It's so exciting.
You look like the wait is killing you.
The only good thing of all this is that we know we're winning.
The artist representing Spain at the next Eurovision Festival is So nervous.
- So exciting.
- I'm sweaty.
Jose Guardiola! What? I don't get it.
I don't get it either.
Wasn't this supposed to be rigged, that I was the winner? Give me a second.
Mr.
Vice Minister, excuse me.
This isn't what we agreed.
Be thankful we're not taking your hippie to prison right now.
- Why? What happened? - The walls have ears.
It seems like Robert thought this stage was the best place to state clearly his political opinions.
- There must be some misunderstanding.
- Excuse me.
We're not taking a jerk to Eurovision who doesn't respect the Generalísimo or his country.
Or are you going to deny your words? Very well, from now on, you're getting a taste of how it works with the Regime against you.
- How? - We're vetoing you on press, radio and TV.
- This is a bit - Your career is over, boy.
Yours and your label's.
Wait.
Robert.
Shit.
Good morning, or whatever.
- Last night was so sad.
How are you? - Not well.
I called you last night.
Did you arrive late? - Yes.
I guess late.
- Today's not your day.
Last night had consequences, and none are good.
I thought of something.
Why don't we go out to dinner tonight? I think I know how to cheer you up.
What do you say? Do you mind if we do it another day? No, I don't mind.
- Good morning.
- You're here early.
- I couldn't sleep, I'd rather be here.
- The important radio stations called and they all say the same, they're sorry, but they have direct orders - from Tourism and Information.
- This is a nightmare.
- Phones were ringing at 7.
- So, we're out of radio, TV and press.
Without them, we have a mute singer.
- The sales will drop.
- What can we do? I'm meeting with Zabala to work it out.
It's a disaster.
But the truth is, I'm relieved Robert's out of the circus.
I still don't understand why he decided to be a part of it.
How is he? No, he hasn't slept with me.
Don't.
You saw how he left.
Ask Clara, please.
We need to talk about this now.
Ok.
Futura, good morning.
- Have you seen Robert? - He hasn't been with you? - That's why I'm asking.
- He hasn't been home.
- Maribel, honey.
- Maribel - Mom, sorry, it's not a good time.
- But it's not that big of a deal, is it? I came to buy you coffee, but if it's not a good time I don't want you to show up without notice.
And don't make plans without asking me.
Go to Ondas or wherever you think he could be.
I'm going to see the guys.
I can't believe he's done something so stupid.
Me neither, but you know how this is.
I'm sure some jealous guy spilled the story upstairs.
Yes, but we're fucked.
It's one thing to lose the contest, but another to be vetoed at radios - That destroys us.
- Make Vidal speak with the Ministry.
- Call Fraga if possible.
- I told him and he did.
And? He doesn't answer.
Not even the sub-secretary.
We'll have to wait for a while.
Fanny's performance was a success, that's great for record sales.
It was the only thing that went right, what a night, huh? Ángeles acted so weird, did you notice? I shouldn't have brought her.
She gets very melancholic when she remembers her singing period.
- But you had to bring it up - I screwed up.
I'm sorry.
That's ok.
What are you guilty of? What did you do? That's life.
Well, hello Coffee for the lady with orange juice.
And this for the gentlemen.
- Have you seen my brother? - No, he hasn't been around.
He was great last night.
We thought he - Sorry, I have to go.
- Wow.
Have you seen Robert since the gala? - No, we haven't.
- If you do, tell him to hurry up.
He's always late.
Sorry, have you seen Robert? Sorry, have you seen Robert? Hey, have you seen Robert? Girls, have you seen Robert? Can you look again? His name is Roberto Aguirre.
- No one's been admitted under that name.
- And as Luis Baroja? No one under that name either.
- Nothing? - Not even at the hospital.
- Miguel, have you seen Robert? - No.
Do I have to follow him now? - Maybe you should.
- What? Didn't you want to take care of him? It's your job, do it right.
I want to be his producer, not his mother.
You have to know where he's at all times.
You can't lose him, ok? - You have to know where he is.
- And all this from his girlfriend? - Can't you see this is important? - What's going on here? He's useless and can't do his job.
I don't know what we hired him for.
Maribel, listen.
Come with me.
I don't know what happened, but it looks serious.
Are you going to tell me now or what? Maribel, girl.
You can trust me.
Whatever it is, tell me the truth.
His name is Roberto Aguirre.
Yes, I'll hold.
- Calm down, what's wrong? - Where were you? Are you ok? - Of course I'm fine.
- We thought the worse.
- I needed to be alone, that's all.
- But you can't disappear.
We were worried sick.
- Maribel is overwhelmed.
- Where is she? Talking with Guillermo.
- Why didn't you tell me? - I'm sorry.
I told him to tell you, but he didn't want to worry you.
I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you.
I'm sorry.
Are you ok? - Are you ok? - I'm fine.
SERIOUSLY ILL - What the fuck is this? - What do you think? So, it was you.
You bastard! It's the only way of controlling the story and making it play in our favor.
I had to answer personally to my bosses.
And all to save you.
I didn't ask you to, you wanted to play the hero and save the day.
For you.
It was the only way for you not to go to London.
Golden and Futura depend on the benefits I make the next years.
So what now? There's still something that would keep Golden from foreclosure: one last record.
Sorry.
- Sorry, we were talking and - I'm sorry.
I'll go.
- I had never done nothing like that.
- The new Fanny does whatever she wants.
Taxi! - Do you need a ride? - I was going home, long day.
I can take you.
If you invite me to a drink of that hidden bottle you have.
If we have to sink, I think we should sink big time.
What about a farewell concert? What's up Madrid! He's a great cardiologist.
He's only in Spain for a few days.
He can see you this afternoon.
It's good to have a second opinion.
If there's something I learned throughout my career is that there aren't absolute truths in medicine.
I've carefully reviewed your history and blood work, and I think we have a chance.
