The Manny (2023) s02e07 Episode Script

-[pleasant music playing]
-[birds chirping]
-[car door closes]
-Are you sure about that?
I'm positive.
They still haven't deposited any money.
Have you talked with Matías?
Yeah, he said he was
at the construction site all day
receiving our materials,
which is why he was too busy to talk,
but he's not answering his phone.
I'm at the site now.
I'll get to the bottom of it.
We need payment to cover
all of our purchasing, Gabriel.
-Gabriel?
-Yeah. Sorry, I'm here.
Violeta, this is so weird.
There are no workers here,
and they should've started
excavating by now.
[pensive music playing]
[chains clinking]
[grunting]
[man] Hey, you!
What do you think you're doing?
Hello. They sent me out to check
if the materials are correct.
Materials? No, we didn't receive anything.
You sure?
Do you have a key so I can take a look?
[doors squeaking]
[tense music playing]
[theme song playing]
THE MANNY
-[playing guitar]
-[Santiago] Hey! What's up?
-This is Chema.
-You're the guy with the accordion.
That's me. All the way from Tepa, Jalisco.
-Cool.
-Oh yeah, you guys.
I might've convinced a record label
to check out our next performance.
And since Sofía and Curly
are having a fashion show,
-I told them we would play that event.
-Ah!
I'm just happy to be a part of this.
-Shall we practice?
-All right, let's go.
Come on. Yeah.
So, it goes something like this. Look.
[playing lively music]
-Where is Abel?
-Who's Abel?
[playful music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Hello.
-Oh, hey.
-[Paola] I'll get that going next.
Since when are you and Claudia
such good friends, huh?
[both chuckle]
Since the project.
We realized we have so much in common.
I don't know, we're both super disruptive.
Oh, no, wait.
-Right here.
-Yeah.
-That color looks great.
-[Nadia] Let me just add this.
Hey. Can I participate?
[whimsical music playing]
Are you serious? Oh, no way.
Abel, I'm sorry,
but we have all the workers we need,
and we're pretty busy.
Can you please leave?
[whimsical music continues]
-Finally.
-Thanks.
[Claudia] That's it.
[knocking on door]
-[Gabriel] Jime?
-Uh
Um, Gabriel, I didn't know
you were coming in.
D Did you schedule ahead?
No, but I have something important
I need to say.
Okay.
I've changed my mind about investing
in Primavera 6060.
For what reason?
I know it's unprofessional of me,
so I also emailed you a list of suppliers,
each one of them you can absolutely trust.
All right, but you still
haven't told me what happened.
-Is this all because of Matías?
-Sure, but not the reason you're thinking.
-And what is that reason?
-You might think this is jealousy,
but that's not why
I can't continue as an investor.
It's not like that.
I just went to that construction site,
and there were no materials
in any of the shipping containers.
Plus, there are no workers on the site.
Excavation should have already started,
but I even purchased building materials,
and we still don't have
our first payment to cover costs.
I mean, there has to be
some kind of misunderstanding.
There has to be some logical explanation.
Honestly, it's costing me time that
I could be using for my other project.
Which, by the way, we still
haven't received any news about financing.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry.
I'll take care of it, I assure you.
Gabriel, is this what you really want?
Yes.
I wanted to tell you in person, Jimena.
Thank you for the opportunity,
but I think we better
not work together, for the sake
of keeping our friendship intact.
[breathes deeply]
I'm so sorry
this all had to end like this.
Me too, Jime.
I did everything possible
to keep our project going, but
I've done all I can.
I'm very sorry, Jimena.
I'm going to ask you for your discretion
so we don't scare the other investors.
Yeah, I really don't want
more problems with them,
especially with Perla.
Yeah, of course.
I owe you that much, at least.
Thanks.
-See ya.
-Bye, Gabriel.
[gentle music playing]
Hey. You all right?
-Why weren't you at rehearsal today?
-I'm screwed, man.
I don't have a clue how
to fix it with Sofi.
She's ignoring me
and it killed my inspiration.
I can't rehearse like this.
Dude, please,
we have a label coming to see us.
This could be our chance,
you know? We need you.
Look, when she wants to be,
she can be really stubborn.
You need to just get over it
and move on already, dude.
It's better for you
to just cut your losses.
Just keep on fighting
the good fight, okay?
[whimsical music playing]
[sighs]
Okay.
[music ends]
May I interrupt?
You're not interrupting. Come sit.
We need to talk.
Well, you're just in time,
because I have something
to show you I think you'll really like.
Check this out. All right?
What do you say
we make the side corridors twice as wide?
So we can put plants and flowers
in the space.
We'd lose some construction footage,
but a huge boost to quality of life. Hmm?
That's a fine presentation,
but we need to talk, Matías.
What happened?
Gabriel just pulled out.
[pensive music playing]
What a complete moron.
Why would he do
something like this, tell me?
Well, he said the money he was supposed
to receive never actually showed up.
Plus, he couldn't find any building
materials at the construction site.
Tell me what's going on.
Sweetheart, the containers were leaking.
So I just went ahead and moved
the materials into the warehouse
so everything doesn't get wet.
And some of our investors are behind
with making their deposits.
So I had to prioritize the expenses.
And the treatment plant
is not that urgent, my love.
It can wait a while.
I understand, but with no green proposal
from Gabriel, this whole
Honey Ba Baby.
You know what? Let him do what he wants.
'Cause I'm sick of him,
to be honest with you.
He's always stirring up problems
between us. Who needs the bastard?
[exhales]
We can get someone
to take care of the treatment plant.
That's no problem.
This is the most
important project we have.
Hmm? I'm not going to let anyone
or anything get in the way.
[sighs] All right. You're right.
Try not to worry.
I find it highly disrespectful that
you did this completely unilaterally.
We both own this company.
You can't exclude me, Gabriel.
I'm sorry.
I know you were excited about the project,
but I really think it's for the best.
-Here you go.
-No, not right now.
Just not in the mood. Thanks.
Listen, I think we need
to put all our energy into El Manantial.
And I have a plan.
Wait till you see it. Hmm?
Basically, if we start with phase two
of the wind farm, and go slow,
we won't need the kind of financing
we're asking for.
We bring in our windmills
'cause they can generate the most,
then, we pay as we go.
[scoffs] I can't believe that our future
is now printed on a napkin.
Ah! It's going to be all right.
We certainly couldn't go on
with Jimena and Matías like that.
No, I know, but at this rate,
we're going to reach our goals
when we are six feet under.
-Oh, don't be so dramatic, Violeta.
-It's not drama, Gabriel!
It's more important than you realize.
You're burning bridges with people
who could've helped us.
Couldn't you flow with the situation?
No, but it's not about flowing.
We have to grab the bull by the horns.
NOW
MESSAGE FROM JIMENA
[scoffs] You're gonna
run us into the ground.
THE FINANCING WAS APPROVED
Really? Are you sure?
[laughs] Because the financing for
El Manantial has just been approved.
-Are you serious?
-See here.
-Look, they've approved us.
-Oh my god, for real? Yes!
-Ahh!
-We got our loan.
-Get that bottle over here.
-[waiter] Right away.
-[squeals]
-And so we don't need this anymore.
-[Violeta laughs]
-So, you're not mad at me, then?
-Eh Mmm [laughs]
-[Gabriel] Mmm. [laughs]
No, but don't make decisions
without me again. Okay?
-Okay.
-Or you'll pay dearly for it.
All right, then. I believe you.
[laughs]
[chuckles]
And why are you looking super hot tonight?
I've got a date with a German friend.
You got over me quickly.
-Come on. Dude!
-So fast.
-How dare you? No, just leave it.
-It hurts.
How about we toast instead?
Let's drink to El Manantial.
-To El Manantial.
-To El Manantial.
[Abel] Hold on tight and don't let go.
-It's the one I liked.
-You look good in it.
Yeah, it looks great.
Abel, excuse me.
Yeah, man. We've got work to do.
Can you let us through?
Abel, what is this?
Your project is discriminatory
for only using female models.
You can't be serious.
Reverse discrimination isn't a thing.
Well, I feel excluded.
Why do guys always need to have
all the attention?
-Seriously, now you're a model?
-Yes, and a male.
[Claudia scoffs]
Let us in. That's enough.
Would you stop, Abel? That's enough!
Abel, what are you doing?
When I said you had to be tougher,
this wasn't what I meant.
I meant come back to band practice.
You had something to do with this.
Didn't you?
Santiago!
-Get out of the way, Abel.
-Come on. Let us through.
-You have to let us in!
-[girls grunting]
[ringing]
-[Santiago] Gabriel?
-What's up, Santi?
Gaby, I need your help.
A bandmate is refusing
to come to rehearsal
even though we have a big show tomorrow.
[Sofía] I said move! Get out of the way!
Move it already!
It would mean the world to me
if you'd speak to my friend.
[Gabriel] Okay. Sure.
-Meet me at the café next to your school.
-Thanks, Gaby.
Abel!
Move it already!
Abel, let's cut to the chase.
-Sofía.
-I don't know what else to do.
When I call, she doesn't answer,
and she doesn't respond to texts.
And when we do talk,
she doesn't look at me.
My friend, I'm sorry
to lay this on you right now,
but, you're in love.
Really?
When you wake up, and there's a message,
who do you hope it's from?
Sofía.
When you're having fun playing
with your band or something,
who pops into your thoughts?
Sofía.
And when you open TikTok,
who's the first person you watch?
Amazing.
So, I'm in love?
So, I'm in love.
Dude, I'm in love.
Now, if you really like Sofía,
rather than sabotaging her
to get her attention,
what you should be doing
is getting her to like you.
But don't be telling him
that he should say
that she's the star
that lights up his path.
Sofía knows that routine.
Mm-mm. [slurping]
Mmm.
No, this time we have to put
all our eggs in one basket.
Here's the plan, all right?
She's going to be defenseless
to the infamous serenade.
[whimsical music playing]
I'll make it happen.
-[slurping]
-[dialing]
[breathes deeply]
["Chachachá" by Jósean Log playing]
[Gabriel] You all right, Jime?
I forgot how good you are
to my kids, Gabriel.
I really missed them.
["Chachachá" continues]
Thank you. I thought
I would never see it again.
Thanks.
Do you really want to talk about him?
I don't want to.
["Chachachá" continues]
You're gonna miss him.
[song fades]
[chuckles softly]
No point worrying over something
that'll never exist.
[Brenda] Mmm.
Primavera 6060 is the project
that Matías and I have,
and he is finally going
to do his project with
Violeta.
[gentle music playing]
Did you approve the financing
for El Manantial?
Yeah.
Awful sly.
It's a good way for him to stay close.
No. No, no, no, no.
What I would like is for you
to manage him solely,
because I really
can't handle being around Gabriel.
[crickets chirping]
[whimsical music playing]
Okay.
All right, great.
[exhales]
Let's see. You're going to stand
right here, so Sofía can see you.
Okay? You got this. I'm so excited.
Ladies, can you play "Sabor a Mí"?
-Mmm No.
-No.
How about "Somos Novios"?
-No.
-No.
"Delirio"?
-No.
-No.
[groans]
That's all right. That's okay.
Anything romantic will do.
Mm-hmm.
-Come on, Abel.
-Oh, my phone.
[Gabriel] There you go. That's it.
[exhales]
-[video call beeps]
-It's calling. It's calling!
Here we go. You got this.
Ladies, you ready?
-Are you ready?
-Uh
[chuckles]
Let's hit it!
[band playing]
-I can't!
-What?
Abel!
What happened? Dude what?
But you've played in front
of hundreds of people before.
Yeah, but this is totally different, okay?
Try humming it with me.

[reading indistinctly]
[indistinct conversation]
Okay. Ready?
[cheerful music playing]
-You'll wear this one first, and then
-Hey.
-Hi.
-[Sofía] What are you doing here?
What's next? Are you gonna
trap me in here or something?
No, no, I'm not. I'm sorry about that.
It was a stupid way to get your attention.
Well, I accept your apology.
The truth is you've always done
whatever it takes to get what you want.
So did I get the gig?
-To model? No, Abel.
-No, no. I'm only kidding.
But your serenade, it was real.
Serenade?
You mean you didn't hear it?
No.
I've never been so nervous.
But that's okay, because

[whimsical music playing]

[gentle music playing]

[audience chattering]
[Jimena] Hello, hello.
Hi, Dad.
[exhales]
Where's Matías?
Oh, I don't know where he is.
-This is perfect.
-Mm-hmm.
They came.
They actually came.
We need to nail this performance.
-Hi, Gabriel.
-Hey, Leo.
[chuckles]
Okay, guys. Listen.
Great moments are born
from great opportunities,
and this is our great opportunity.
Now, who's with me?
Three, two, one!
-Sonicú!
-Sonicú!
Hello, and welcome to our annual
entrepreneurship event.

This year, we are surprised
by two talented students
with a unique eye for fashion design.

[Leo] You're the best sister in the world!
-Sofía!
-Way to go, Sofía!
-All right, Sof!
-You're the best!
Thank you all for coming.
And a special thanks to my friend Abel.
-And Curly.
-[chuckles]
For helping me to realize
that that putting together a fashion show
has been more than just a school project.
It's inspired me to dream bigger.
I was hiding like I was wrapped
in a cocoon before.
And now I realize
I only have to love myself
to find the confidence I need
to become a butterfly.
-[audience applauding]
-[chuckles]
LOVE YOURSELF TO LOVE OTHERS
[confetti whooshes]
[chuckling]
-Bravo! That's my sister!
-Good job, Sofía!
-Yay! Sofi! Yeah!
-[Sofía] Coming up next
Let's give this band a hand. It's Sonicú!
Let's do this.
[audience cheering]
-Hey, that's my brother, Santiago!
-Come on, Santi!
You rock, Santi!
Thanks, you guys. We are Sonicú!
Ready?
Hit it!
[band playing]
[audience clapping rhythmically]
[music fades]
-Santi asked me to come.
-Eh, it's, well
-[Gabriel laughs]
-Forgive me, you first.
No, no, no, after you.
It's been a while since I was serenaded.
You deserve more than serenades, Jime.
-Oh yeah, thanks for funding our venture.
-Um
If it weren't for you,
I could never have chased this dream.
Give yourself some credit.
When I met you, you were a babysitter
with a wooden crate, but now look.
You're an entrepreneur.
It feels good to have
my own metamorphosis.
Right? [chuckles]
Though I still have the wooden crate.
If you hadn't returned it that day,
I never would've met you.
-Yeah, I guess so.
-[Gabriel laughs]
Well, Jimena, I gotta get going.
I wish you the very best of luck
with all your plans
and everything you're doing
with El Manantial.
Thanks.
Gabriel.
[indistinct chatter]
[phone ringing]
Sorry. Give me a second.
Sorry. Brenda.
Jimena, I need you at the office
immediately, please. It's urgent.
What happened?
Something strange has been happening
with the 6060 account.
Okay, I'm coming right now. 'Kay, bye.
-Everything okay?
-Uh, forgive me, but I have to be going.
It was really good bumping into you.
-You too.
-Bye.
Bye.
We sounded amazing.
Yeah, I'm still surprised we nailed it.
Seriously. Your solo was incredible.
-I just remember going wild.
-Hey, hey. Psst, psst!
-Huh?
-Hey.
Uh Take this, will you?
[woman] Hey, hey. Congratulations.
You all sounded great.
In fact, we want
to see them again, don't we?
Mm-hmm. How would you like to
play that song at the Blue Moon concert?
Seriously?
Yeah. They're looking for an opener.
You'd be great.
-That sounds awesome.
-I can't believe this.
Maybe we could even book you guys on tour.
-Wait, you mean?
-Yo!
We're going to sign your band, Santi.
Are you serious?
-No way! I can't believe it!
-Yes.
-They're going to sign our band!
-[all cheering]
-Oh my gosh!
-Yeah!
Please, come join us.
We don't have beers,
but I can offer you a soda.
-Congratulations.
-So cool.
-This is perfect.
-Cool, thanks.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
The Primavera 6060 account
is completely empty.
BALANCE - 0.00
No, no, no, that can't be right.
Okay, so the only people with access
were Brenda, you, and me
And Mr. Matías.
[tense music playing]
It says the money was transferred
to the account of an Arturo Castelar.
I could be wrong, but I haven't seen
an Arturo on any of the accounts.
Do you think he could be on our payroll?
How sure are you
that we can trust Mr. Matías?
[tense music continues]
I'm gonna go get answers.
-We sounded amazing.
-If you say so, but I'm the cool one.
-[girls chuckling]
-Yeah?
Check it out, man.
-Can I talk to you?
-Sure.
We should head out.
Perfect, then.
It's a yes to having
an exclusive relationship with you.
[gentle music playing]
[Abel] Oh.
-Come on, stop.
-[chuckles]
You know, the jacket that you gave me,
it helped me realize
the things I needed to see.
I couldn't have a relationship, okay?
Because I didn't love myself
and didn't accept myself.
I like knowing you found yourself.
Sounds like your own metamorphosis.
So hey, do you think that
now that we are a couple,
we have to keep asking each other
permission for everything?
I sure hope not.
Then let's say
we'll leave it up to our intuition
because we'll always show
each other respect.
My intuition, it says,
we'll go for a coffee.
My treat.
Okay. Good intuition.
[playful music playing]
[all] Ooh. [laughing]
[Matías] Everything's been going to plan.
And the investors are finally
depositing their money.
Hmm. Okay.
Now, we have to figure out
how to get you off the grid.
We don't want Jimena
to suffer too much either.
[doorbell rings]
It's Jimena. Go hide.
[door slams]
Hi, my love.
You knew about my kids' show,
so why didn't you go?
Are you serious?
I've been working my ass off.
Oh, you mean like busy transferring
the money out of the account
without even telling me?
-Why the hell did you move it, Matías?
-Sweetie.
And who is Arturo Castelar?
I don't know, it's the name
the owner of the land gave me.
Thought it was all right.
I had to send him money
because the guy got nervous
and it was the only way
to show him we mean business.
Why keep it a secret, then?
I thought we agreed you'd make
all your decisions with me.
Jesus, how long until you trust me?
I'm tired of explaining myself
to you constantly.
I spend countless hours
tirelessly working on your projects,
while you pile on these demands,
or else, "Why weren't you
at my kids' ridiculous event?"
[gasps]
You know what?
I'd prefer if you went home.
[groans]
I'm not leaving until
you tell me what's going on.
Jimena, beat it.
Please leave!
[pensive music playing]
[breathing shakily]
[panting]
[door opens, slams closed]
I still can't believe he spoke
about the kids that way.
It was like getting to know this whole
other person, who I really didn't like.
I still can't believe that.
If he would've tried that
when I was there, I'd have beat his ass.
After the way he treated you,
he should know it's over.
[line beeping]
Um, I have another call. Hold on.
No, no, no, no.
Jimena?
Yeah, sorry. That was Perla.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I can't talk to Perla.
Everything will be fine.
Why don't you go somewhere
that's safe and calm?
You know what?
You're totally right.
I know exactly where.
I'll call you when I get home. Bye.
Hey, congrats, Santi. You guys killed it.
I appreciate it, Grandpa.
I need to go to the record company
now to sign a contract,
and my papa's gonna bring me.
Take this.
Use it to sign your first contract,
and again later
when people ask for autographs.
In fact, give it a go.
I'll get one now,
in case you're too cool later on.
I would never, Grandpa.
[gentle music playing]
THANK YOU, GRANDPA
All thanks to you, Santi.
To me?
Seeing you chase your dreams
with such determination
made me realize
that nothing is over till it's over.
And I still have many dreams
worth pursuing.
And just like you,
I'll put all my heart into it.
[patting leg]
[Santiago sighs]
Mmm
[Violeta] With the new windmills,
we are going to generate enough energy
to supply all of Tepatitlán.
I've already asked the engineers to
give us a sketch of where we'll put them.
Wanna see?
And I ordered the energy storages
and the generators.
[exhales sharply] We better hope
they don't back out on the financing,
because if they do,
you and I might have to flee the country.
[chuckling] Gabriel?
-Gabriel!
-Huh? Wh What happened?
-You weren't listening to me at all.
-Sorry, I'm worried.
Earlier, I was with Jimena,
and she got a call
that really changed her mood.
And to get her going like that,
I know something's wrong.
Yeah, well, she's no longer your problem.
I mean, it's not like
she hasn't pushed you so far away.
-Yeah, you're right.
-I know I am.
How can I just let it go? How?
-God, you're a drag. Man up, okay!
-[phone dings]
[gasps]
All right!
More equipment is arriving.
Oh, nice.
[gentle music playing]
Guys, don't unload those last two
at the bottom.
Yes, ma'am.
-Those ones. Yeah.
-Yes, ma'am.
Hey, Violeta. Uh, have you seen Gabriel?
Uh, yeah, I dropped him off at the spring.
He should be there.
Ah, okay, thanks.
You okay?
No. That's why I need to speak to Gabriel.
-Okay.
-Here, grab this.
Just leave those two.
Gabriel.
-Jime? What are you doing here?
-[panting]
I don't even know where to begin, Gabriel.
I don't know what's been going on.
I don't know how I didn't realize it.
I I should have realized
But even now I realize
I don't know what to do
Jimena. Jime.
I don't understand. Just breathe.
I don't feel safe, Gabriel.
[breathing heavily]
I don't know where I can go,
or who I can trust.
You can trust me.
You know that.
