A NETFLIX SERIES
Luka Colucci's
suicide attempt is a tragedy.
He's a young man, an artist,
whose talents are extraordinary.
His absence from school today
weighs heavily on me.
I still can't believe it.
I wish he'd asked somebody for help.
Jesus, Luka, what made him do it?
I'd like us all to dedicate the final days
of our semester to Luka's swift recovery.
I know that these situations make it
difficult to focus on other things,
and the timing's not ideal, of course.
However, I would like to make use
of this school assembly
to finally be able to announce
my new, exclusive artist
who will represent us
at the Trend-Z Awards.
And this person is
Esteban Torres.
Congratulations, Esteban.
You've got a lot of work ahead of you.
Dixon, you were really good
You know you didn't do your best.
And you know how I know?
You're not even happy.
Why aren't you celebrating?
Are you ashamed to win like this?
Why you?
How'd you bribe Gus into giving it to you?
Maybe you should ask yourself
why it wasn't you.
What did or didn't you do this semester
to bring this on yourself?
You know something?
This semester I did a lot of things
that I wasn't supposed to do.
But every single one of them was worth it.
What are you doing here?
You really didn't see this coming?
You didn't think, for one second,
that pressuring Luka
might end up making him
do something drastic?
I need a moment alone
with my son, if you don't mind.
You're our opening act,
so you're going to need
to rehearse nonstop.
The people will want to see
your talent the second you hit the stage.
- Your performance must be perfection
- Why did I win?
- Because you were the best.
- No.
Dixon was much better than I was.
Esteban.
Listen.
Esteban,
you know, I've been at this for a while,
and I've learned that life
isn't defined by one moment
I think that life is defined by the sum
of many different moments over time.
I'm giving you
the opportunity of your life.
You don't realize how big this is, do you?
Let me ask you something.
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Singing in a piano bar
or winning a Grammy?
What'll it be?
Weren't these Celina's?
Will you go get your things?
Can I have one?
Hey, are you okay?
You should have been the winner.
- Yeah, you were really amazing
- Totally.
Well, if you had won,
you would have to deal
with Gus Bauman all day long, so
I've got to transfer out of here.
What?
I promised Gus that if I didn't win,
I would transfer out of school.
That's why he let me back into the finals.
But everybody knows
you should have won.
I wish we could prove
that Gus rigged everything.
Okane.
I know that Gus has something to do
with the pills that Okane gave me.
What?
And he was about to confess it to me
but then he ran off with Gus.
I knew it, it's Okane.
So then
So then, we need
to go have a chat with him.
CALL FROM ANDI
ANSWER
ANDI
CALL ME. IT'S URGENT.
WE'RE TAKING GUS DOWN
AND WE NEED YOU.
I'M NOT INTERESTED.
ITAM - WELCOME TO YOUR FUTURE
GUIDE FOR NEW STUDENTS
Fuck, mom! What did you do?
- Mr. Bauman.
- Hmm?
Um, I need that contract
with your record label.
- Or with GB Records
- I'm sorry,
but the decision has already been made.
No Listen.
You don't understand.
I need this.
You'll benefit as well.
- My mother will be president of Mexico
- Right.
So is that supposed to change my mind?
No.
I don't know what kind of people
you're used to dealing with,
but I'm not impressed with your last name.
Don't speak to me in that tone,
and don't waste any more of my time
unless you've got
something important to say.
Ready?
Colucci?
Well, it works much better
as a stage name than Torres does,
and besides, it's your last name too.
Soon, your name will be up there,
right at the top.
Let's go.
He isn't answering
Fuck! Okane, pick up!
Forwarding to voicemail,
Your message
will be recorded after the tone.
Dude, will you please call me back?
I swear this has nothing to do with you,
and I'm not trying to buy pills.
He won't call back.
He threw a smoke bomb and disappeared.
And
Hi.
What are you doing here?
I heard about Luka.
Come in.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Do you think we could talk?
Come on.
Andi.
- I'm very sorry. Please forgive me.
- Emilia.
I mean it.
I never should have stolen your song.
But, it's just
I was pretty terrified
about leaving this place.
Actually,
I'm still terrified about leaving.
I forgive you.
And I guess that
maybe I overreacted a bit.
No.
You didn't at all.
Maybe we shouldn't, because
Well, if we get back together now,
it'll just hurt more when I leave again.
Okay, but
you could still stay over.
Yeah.
Sure, but only if I can stay on the couch.
- You got it.
- I'll wait until tomorrow and then,
well, I'll stay out of your hair.
Okay.
What's wrong? You're not tired already?
I was thinking I'd really like
to stop by the hospital to visit Luka.
I want to go before
visiting hours are over.
Esteban, you're not performing
at a 100% yet.
I know you want to be with your brother.
One more day
isn't going to make a difference.
You made a commitment.
Go again. From the top.
- Hello.
- Good evening, sir.
I'm looking for Luka Colucci.
Colucci
Mr. Colucci is in room A-32,
but visiting hours were over at 7:00.
Oh, I see, that's what I thought.
- Mm-hmm.
- Well, I'll come back tomorrow, I guess.
- Great.
- Thanks.
RECOVERY - CARE UNI
What are you doing here?
How are you?
I just wanted to check up on him.
So what?
You figured you'd come by here at night,
with all the lights off
and not make a sound?
I know everything about you, Gustavo.
If you've got something to say, say it.
You and I made a deal.
I'm keeping up my end of it. Are you?
I understand you.
You know what I like about you?
That despite everything, all this chaos,
you still know what's best for you.
Go get some rest.
ANDI
WHERE CAN WE MEET?
Okane, what's up? How are you?
How's Luka?
He's stable, for now.
But he's not out of the woods yet.
I did a bit of digging,
and this isn't the first "accident"
that's happened on Gus's watch.
What do you mean?
Well, there was another guy.
His name was Freddy.
He was found dead in his hotel room
with an empty pill bottle next to him.
Did he kill himself?
Well, that's what
the official report said.
But I'm pretty sure that Gus
got him hooked on the pills.
- Oh, my God.
- My brother.
Thank you for your honesty.
Don't worry.
- He's gonna be okay.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- He'll be okay.
- Goodnight.
- Bye, Okane.
Hey.
- What do you want?
- Um.
I want to have a friendly talk.
Really? Sebas,
nothing you do is ever friendly. Just
- Go away.
- I heard you guys planning. I wanna help.
Sebas, you know you're lying.
You've never really helped anyone.
If you want to get on stage,
you need to get to the VIP area,
and even if you manage to do that,
you'll come across ten security guards
with no interest
in letting you go any further.
Why would it be
any different with you there?
Yeah.
I've got backstage passes.
One of the perks of being
the future president's son.
So now we're supposed to trust you,
just like that, huh?
No, Jana, that recording contract
was my only chance
at getting out of going to business school
which is what my mom wants.
You both know it, and so does Emilia.
If I go down, I'm taking Gus with me.
Hey.
Check it out.
What are those?
Let's just say that someone
made good on an old debt.
Are you excited?
I'm worried.
Look, we'll get on stage
and we'll just say
all the things that we need to say.
And what if it goes badly?
What if they send me back to Colombia?
I wouldn't want that.
No matter what happens,
I'm not losing you again, Dixon.
We need each other.
I'm sorry I woke you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
There's a cell phone ringing in here.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
THE REAL GUS BAUMAN
EVERYONE, IN THIS EMAIL, I WANT TO EXPOSE
WHY SHOULD I?
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, EVERYONE WILL KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO FREDDY.
Can we talk?
I have rehearsal.
You can still do the right thing.
- And what do you think that is?
- Taking Gus down, for good.
Esteban, open your eyes.
Gus has been lying to us
this whole semester.
We're not what he says we are.
Jana
you know we've all changed.
Hey.
Mr. Langarica, what did I say?
To come back when I had
something important to tell you.
Sit down.
Care for some grapes?
Son!
Dad!
Ah, it's good to see you.
How come you're here so early?
I guess that's why there was
no lineup when I got here.
I didn't want to miss it, so I came early.
Well I'm very glad you're here.
- Hey, you look amazing.
- Thanks.
- You do too.
- I always knew you'd be a success, my boy.
- What do you think?
- Look. The production values are amazing.
The decorations, the banners.
Esteban, they'd like you to put this on.
- Gus, look who's here.
- Oh.
I'm sorry for holding him up.
I'm Chava, his father.
Ah. Nice to meet you. A pleasure.
- The pleasure's mine.
- Chava, wow. Congratulations.
You have an extremely talented son.
- You should be proud.
- Oh, well, thank you very much. Yeah.
I'm real proud.
Mr. Bauman, over here!
Yes, yes, of course,
you have to go. Please.
Know what? I'm getting a bit hungry,
I'm gonna grab tacos and come back.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah. Okay.
- I'll see you inside, okay?
- Sure thing. Yeah.
Thanks for coming.
Hi, here you go.
Is there a problem?
I'm getting an error code.
- Oh, no.
- What?
Here, why don't you try this one?
- This one?
- Same thing with all of them.
- Sorry.
- Why don't you call your boss?
You have to find a way to get us in there.
That won't be possible.
- You're joking.
- Uh, that's the order.
What's up?
Why are you still out here?
He says our tickets don't work,
and they can't let us in.
Give it to me.
Okane.
Welcome to the very exciting
Trend-Z Awards gala.
Welcome.
Reporting live
from this glamorous red carpet.
It's 30 minutes to showtime
Sorry, you can't go in.
What the fuck are you talking about?
This ticket's legit.
You're not coming in.
What should I do?
You want me to stand out here all night?
No way! Okane?
- Yes?
- Oh my gosh!
I'm your biggest fan!
Why?
I mean I just love your music!
I love everything you do!
We tried getting in touch with you
but it seemed like you disappeared.
Don't tell me you're performing tonight.
Well, yeah, but this guy won't let me in.
No, that's horrible!
Come on, surely you know Okane?
Guys! Okane managed to get in!
Let's upload Okane's video now.
I'm on Twitter.
You're on Twitter?
Classic.
Anybody know
why Gus is trending right now?
Hello everyone.
I've just been informed that
unfounded rumors, are now circulating
concerning a great artist
who I worked with many years ago.
and his unfortunate suicide.
My team and I did everything we could
to get him to see the light
at the end of the tunnel,
and to help him get clean.
It was heartbreaking,
but there was nothing
we could do, ultimately.
Nobody's gonna believe us now.
I don't care what Gus says about it.
Let's upload the video anyway
and let the police decide.
Yeah, do it.
THE TRUTH ABOUT GUS BAUMAN
Dude, tell me where Gus is.
I don't know, man.
Tell me where he is right now.
What's happening?
I don't know where he is.
I'm doing what someone
should have done a long time ago.
What are you talking about?
Gus pushed Luka off the rooftop.
Come on, Okane.
I mean, I get that you all hate the guy,
but that doesn't make him evil.
Luka sent these messages to Gus
right before he fell.
Luka was going to expose him.
You're a fucking coward.
Whoo!
Good evening, Mexico!
Welcome to the Trend-Z Awards!
How's everyone feeling?
Look at everyone!
You're all so handsome, so beautiful.
I'm very happy to be with you
for this incredible event tonight.
For the very first time, we will be
celebrating the newest pop music stars
in Mexico and Latin America.
So let's get ready because it's time
to bring out our first performer,
A rising star in the industry, so please
put your hands together to welcome
the very talented Esteban Colucci!
What's he doing? Esteban.
You're on.
Esteban, can you hear me?
Okay!
It looks like our first performer
is even more nervous than I thought.
Emotions can run high at these events.
I'd be nervous too!
Seriously, I'm nervous right now,
so let's get some warm
and welcoming applause going, please,
for Esteban Colucci!
Whoo!
JANA

We get to admire
the fine work of the crew!
The lighting, the set design!

Don't be shy!
We're waiting for you!
Ah, he's here! Hello!
Whoo!
- About time.

Good evening, Esteban.
It's Torres.
Pardon?
I'm Esteban Torres.
PERFORMANCE - ESTEBAN COLUCCI
REVEAL
I'm here to tell you that the producer
Gustavo Bauman is a fucking murderer.
Play some music.
Play something right now. Put it on now!
Come on!
Come on, play some music!
What is your problem?
Don't just stand there, idiots.
- Do something.
- Your little party is over.
What do you want?
Don't play dumb, asshole.
I know you pushed Luka off the roof.
- Are you insane?
- Me?
I'm gonna make you pay
for everything that you've done.
You listen to me, you little bastard.
Come here. Listen.
If I go down, you're going down with me!
Bring it on, you fucker,
I'll go down with you.
I finally understand
what a piece of shit you really are.
You leech onto people's talents because
you're a pathetic excuse for an artist.
Sure, you've got a good eye for talent,
but that's exactly why it drives you nuts,
because you're not talented
Is that right?
Like that?
Gus
Shut your mouth, you piece of shit.
No, let go.
What the fuck are you doing?
You fucking idiot.
You lost the biggest chance
of your whole life.
- Better than cover up your bullshit!
- Think about it, you idiot!
Even if you're right,
you've got no way to prove it.
Hey man, are you okay?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
You're crazy, dude.
I'm glad you're all right.
Maybe you should leave now, huh?
Go back to your village
with your mediocre excuse for a father!
EXI
It's been a very difficult year
for many reasons.
A year full of challenges,
as well as meaningful lessons.
It doesn't matter
if you don't know yourselves fully.
Because you've got
your whole lives to figure that out.
My only hope is that
you'll listen to your inner voice
and stay true to yourselves.
In the meantime, many congratulations
to you talented graduates.
I almost thought I wouldn't
make it to graduation with everyone.
I know! I still can't believe
everything that's happened.
We should all get together
and play some music to forget about it.
And play properly.
Yeah, really.
We really screwed things up last time.
But you weren't with us then.
No, but I felt it, I mean,
I'll always be a part of the band.
So, we going
to New York next week?
You're the best, we can go
to New York, L.A., what'll it be?
- Oscar Cabarga Negrete?
- Yes?
You're under arrest
for the murder of Gustavo Bauman.
He had nothing to do with it.
Are you listening?
I'm happy you feel that way.
I mean, I have a lot
Guys, come here!
Okane is getting arrested right now.
What?
Okane!
Okane!
A Colucci always protects their own.
