Club De Cuervos (2015) s03e02 Episode Script

1 SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA BE DROP-KICKED OUT OF THE NEST.
It's blue.
Everything I see is blue.
It's so blue, it's going to damage my retinas.
Chava, you have to be open to new ideas.
-Broaden your horizons.
-Broaden this one here.
Hey, Chava.
It even has solar panels to fill, to illuminate the whole stadium.
Yeah, don't get too excited.
We won't be here for long.
Oh, yeah? Then where will we go? We'll return to Nuevo Toledo.
-To Second Division, Chava? -We won't go back to Second Division.
We will if we don't start signing up players.
Leones Negros and Dorados were demoted after being promoted to First Division.
-They couldn't build the right team.
-Because they were a shitty team.
No.
They had no time to find players with First Division experience.
We are five weeks away from a tournament, and we haven't signed up anyone.
-Of course.
Certainly.
-Chava Chava.
Chava -Am I boring you? -Yes.
No, sorry.
Yes, I'll see you.
Thank you.
The people from PRL want me to meet with their work team.
Hey! My campaign for governor is just as important as signing up players to go back to Nuevo Toledo.
Totally.
Yes, but if you don't take care of this first, there won't be a team to take back.
Exactly.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES What a beautiful dress.
Because not everyone would dare to wear pink like that.
By any chance, your name isn't Rose, is it? No.
Would you give me the chance to talk quickly to the governor? I just want to show him blueprints.
A small project.
I won't take long.
The governor is very busy today.
He'll be able to see you whenever he's ready.
The budget of a soccer team -is like a gas tank.
-Sure.
The more you fill it, the further you go.
Right? There are five ways of filling it up.
The first one is a government subsidy.
But because we already lost the subsidy in Nuevo Toledo, due to our problems with the governor, this will be lower.
Number two is exchanging players.
But our problem is that we don't have enough players, right? Exactly.
Besides, we couldn't even return to First Division with them, so We still have number three.
The deal with the TV network.
Abraham says that the contract with Maxivision is almost a done deal, that it's going great, -and all we need is to figure out details.
-Number four.
Sponsors.
Yes, and this is one of our strengths because we have a lot of space on the uniforms.
No, no way.
I won't change our T-shirts into a moving billboard.
We are in a difficult financial situation.
Yes, but I don't care, I won't whore out my T-shirt.
Chava.
We need money.
I'd rather whore out Hugo Sánchez before I'd whore out my design.
Okay? It wouldn't be the first time they've used my body to make money.
Okay.
Okay, number five.
Well -Ticketing.
-That's great.
Yes, the problem is I doubt anyone would drive 2 hours from Nuevo Toledo to see us.
-Exactly.
-Therefore So, that's the situation.
In conclusion, this year we won't have much money for the team, so we're going to have to tighten our belts.
That, or We can think big.
Look at the front page.
That's Javier Pizarro! -He'll cost us as much as the entire team.
-Exactly, we can afford it.
I'd love to have Pizarro playing here with the Cuervos, but the man is happy in Europe.
Why would he come here? His mother has Alzheimer's, and since he's such a good son, he'd like to play somewhere where he'd be close to her, and the poor woman lives in Cholula.
-Are you sure? -No, wait.
Listen, Rafa, what about our budget? This is too expensive.
It'd be a bombshell, help us close the deal with the network.
Exactly, and it may help us get a playoff spot.
But he can't play alone.
Any father would drive three hours in his sedan, with the family, grandma, and the dog, to watch this guy play.
-No, I don't want another Aitor Cardonell.
-But he's not an Aitor Cardonell, Isabel.
This dude will guarantee us better ticket sales, a better television contract, better T-shirt sales, and more importantly, a spot in First Division.
Chabela I agree with Chava.
Okay, well, I just cannot believe that we'll make the same mistake twice.
I want an unbiased opinion.
Isabel.
Isabel.
Think it through.
It's a great opportunity.
Okay, okay, okay.
Fine.
Yes! -But I talk to him.
-No, it was my idea, why would it be you? Okay.
Wait, I'll negotiate it.
Chava, you barely passed math in high school, -you can't close a million-dollar deal.
-And you have no social skills.
Get along with him before you negotiate.
You just want this opportunity so you can begin your little coalition.
-I am the manager, I will negotiate it.
-Oh, please.
You're pissed off because it was my idea.
I'm the one running for governor, I have the prestige, and I will negotiate.
Oh, please.
God save Nuevo Toledo if you win.
-I should -Stop fighting.
-You're just -Stop pulling each other's hair.
We can't continue like this.
This must end today.
PSYCHOLOGIS Well, Rafa, Isabel this is a dynamic we've never treated before in couples' counseling.
I believe it's time for a peace treaty.
-What's the address here? -14 Versailles.
The Treaty of Versailles -Don't be a douche, dude.
Let's establish some rules between us so we can work together.
Which means we'll establish limits and responsibilities between you two.
Isabel cannot talk to the media if I'm not present.
Chava can't either.
Okay.
No talking to the media.
Chava cannot talk to Fede about the lineup.
-Are you stupid? Why? I'm the president.
-No, that's why-- Chava! -What I bring in-- -This is not-- -How many games have we won? -You can't abuse power-- -But I-- -We can't move forward.
-I was simply-- -Silence! Silence! You never learn from your mistakes! We cannot fire or hire a player unless the three of us agree.
-I love that.
Write it down.
-Okay.
Okay.
-Fede and I will negotiate with Pizarro.
-You're being an idiot, dude.
No, please, Chivo-- Stop screaming, dude! I'm the manager and Fede is the trainer! That's it.
This institution should be a little more formal.
Don't you think? Do we agree? -Okay.
-Okay.
Hello.
The governor is still busy.
He cannot see you.
That's not a problem.
I'll come back tomorrow.
-What's up, dude? -Cuau.
I just called to ask if you've been offered something already.
No, I changed agents and I'm not sure if the teams will know how to contact me.
And you? Do you still have a contract with the Cuervos? Yes.
That's great.
That's good pay, anyway.
They'll probably pay this season, right? Well, you know this rule of allowing up to ten foreigners on each team.
Yes, I know.
You and I would be the Mexicans on the team.
Okay, let me call the others and see what's going on with them.
Okay, talk to you later.
Did anyone get an offer already? Well, not everything is that bad, right? I heard Milton say the other day they are about to spend all their money on just one player.
I think they'll keep us to help this new player, no? Who is it? -Welcome again, Mr.
Pizarro.
-Same, thank you.
Mr.
Pizarro, we are about to land in Nuevo Toledo.
I haven't finished exercising yet.
-Tell him to go a little longer.
-Yes, sir.
Javier Pizarro? Well, at least the Cuervos hired a Mexican.
Everyone else is hiring cheap foreigners.
-You are hurting the black one, deeply.
-Yes, keep believing your wound is just superficial.
If I were you, I'd start doing something.
Look for a team.
Make things happen.
-Thank you.
-Javier -thank you for coming.
Welcome.
-Thank you.
First of all, we are glad that you've arrived and that you are allowing us to show you the new project, now that we are back in Nuevo Toledo.
We'll discuss how Javier Pizarro will turn the Cuervos into the champions of the Mexican league.
You've given me a lot to think of.
I have to talk to my agent.
But whatever I may pick, -it's great to talk to people like you.
-Thank you.
Great.
Looks like Rafa and Pizarro have great chemistry.
If I were you, I'd worry about my marriage.
Congratulations.
Really.
Well, to be honest, the alliance between the Iglesias with the PIR have maintained the position of governor in Nuevo Toledo far away from us, for decades.
Many decades.
The Iglesias maintain a strong influence in the state because of all the businesses they own.
Yes, of course.
Without a doubt.
And everything you are telling me, I know.
My father was always with PIV, to the core.
But I'm not.
I understand.
Excuse me.
Paniagua.
Yes, sir? Paniagua, let me introduce you to Chava Iglesias.
Salvador Iglesias.
Nice to meet you.
Salvador, I'm sorry.
He's our new candidate for governor of Nuevo Toledo.
Train him, guide him-- You have a secretary? Yes, of course.
-Hugo Sánchez.
-Hugo, this is Paniagua.
You'll follow all of Paniagua's directions.
Yes? We must find a marketing expert, a polling expert, and a media trainer, but the most important thing is that you'll make sure that Chava follows Paniagua's directions.
-Wait, no, excuse me-- -Hugo, what would you do first if -you were in charge of the campaign? -You're confused.
He's my personal assistant, not my secretary.
Well, I think that, to begin with he'd have to move out of his father's house.
No? Living there shows he's still in his comfort zone.
As if he has not matured enough, as if he can't take care of himself.
I think that Chava should rent a house in Old Nuevo Toledo.
In downtown, with the people.
No? That would help Mr.
Iglesias' image.
Well, there's no more to say.
Except to welcome our brand new candidate for governor of Nuevo Toledo, -Chava Iglesias.
-Thank you very much.
-It was a pleasure.
-And his personal assistant.
It is an honor, sir.
Nuevo Toledo-- Yes, sir.
Yes, yes, yes.
Of course.
We are glad to hear this, because we also had good rapport with Javier.
Imagine, it would be the story of the year if he can make Cuervos champions as they got to First Division.
That would be great.
Incredible, incredible.
Yes, perfect.
Goodbye.
What happened? He's ours.
I cannot believe it! So, he's on our team? Yes! No, Chivo, I want to cry! I want to cry! -Me, too! Me, too! -No, we have thousands of things to do! The contracts the sponsors Oh, and the draft! -It's in two weeks.
-Yes, the draft.
-We have to-- -What if we-- What if we head over to the-- -To the bathroom? -And we lock ourselves there-- -No, not in my dad's office.
-Oh, come on-- -They're looking.
-There's no one there.
Honey it wouldn't be the first time it happened here.
-No, stop.
-Honey.
Calm down, please.
Control yourself.
We have to take care of the team first.
I'll call Abraham to talk about the contracts.
Who's that? -It's from the team, from Johann Cruyff.
-Oh, okay.
They've lost some information, it was erased, and we have to redo it.
I have to go to Mexico City.
-When? Now? -Yes, now.
Work is work, honey.
I'm sorry.
-Take care.
-Congratulations.
Congratulations, my love.
Good job, Chivo! -Hey! -Yes? -When you come back, we'll celebrate.
-I don't think I'll be early.
Don't wait for me, okay? Bye.
-No.
-No? -No.
-Why not? -Because it's a no.
-Look, with the mine, Mr.
Governor, we'd be creating more than 500 jobs.
We aren't miners.
Let's open the mine, and I'll bring my perfume factory to the state.
-No.
-I'll completely pave -the entire road to Santa Pia.
-No.
Look, Mr.
Governor, potash is a mineral used as a main ingredient for soap, detergent, and shampoo.
We'd be talking about the only potash factory in the entire country.
Do you realize the dimension? What a gold mine-- Excuse me.
Excuse me.
No, no, no.
to the center, all 22 are in the area.
Another shot! Goal! "Conejo"! Goal! What a historic goal! If we open the mine, I'll buy a soccer team Goal from Conejo! Amazing! and bring it to Nuevo Toledo, so it can be the state's team.
Goal by Cruz Azul! By Óscar Pérez, "Conejo"! Few times did-- I imagine it went well? Not without your help.
How can I ever repay you? No need.
Do you like seafood? -I'm working.
-And later? -Working.
-And later? -I get off at seven.
-I'll see you outside at seven? By the way, what's your name? Gloria.
It's big enough for an entire family.
-Yes.
-Without all the necessary luxuries.
I like it, I see a lot of potential, so -I'm going to keep it.
-Perfect.
Oh, my love.
I still remember when you'd fall asleep -while I breastfed you.
-Yes.
Can you show my mother the walk-in closet? -Yes, of course.
-Thank you.
-Is it big? -Yes, it has space for 120 shoes.
What the fuck, dude? Salvador Iglesias, governor of Nuevo Toledo.
We have him.
Pizarro is a Cuervo.
Are you kidding? Isabel? That's great! Yes! Please kiss Rafa on the mouth.
But give him an animalistic kiss, a sexual kiss-- Stop, stop.
I get it.
Don't exaggerate.
I knew that Rafa had potential.
I'm proud of having named him manager.
Yes, right? -I'll see you tomorrow in the office.
-Okay, see you.
What's the best club in Puebla? -I don't know, sir.
-I know you don't.
Google it.
Of course.
Javier? How are you? Chava Iglesias.
Welcome to the Cuervos, dude.
I know, dude, it'll be great.
Actually, I'm calling you because we want to celebrate, and we made a reservation at a very exclusive place, a very trendy place, one of the best in the country, -called -Club Sweat.
It's called Club Sweat, it was recommended by some friends.
It seems to be a great club, and we'll be there around eight or 8:30.
Okay? Great.
We'll see you there.
Take care.
Sir, I have a question.
Didn't Rafael ask you not to mingle with the soccer players? It's in the Treaty of Versailles.
But this isn't mingling with the soccer players.
This is public relations.
-I guess.
-Exactly, you guess well.
It is PR, it's a corporate issue.
So, please, call the players, reserve the VIP section, and make sure Javier Pizarro's welcome is worthy of the Cuervos Negros Salvajes of Nuevo Toledo.
-Of course, sir.
Don't worry.
-Great.
I'll take care of it.
Very, very-- -Hold on.
-Very much a woman.
-Hello? -Confirmed, dude.
The Cuervos just signed Pizarro.
Well, that means I'm fucked, dude.
Not necessarily, maybe you can stay as a substitute.
I don't think so, dude.
No one told me anything.
I'll call you later.
I have to talk to my agent.
-Hello? -Fredo? -Hello? -Hey, dude.
Put on your bowling shoes, please.
Yes, hello? Why are you taking so long? You are my agent.
-Hey, Cuau, how are you? -Are you at the bowling alley? No, no, no.
I took out Chicharito around the city.
Hold on.
Chicharito! Hold on a second, please.
Cuau, what's up? Has any team called you about me? Hold on a second.
Well, no, nothing yet.
But continue doing your thing, and we'll be in contact.
As soon as I hear something, I'll let you know.
Damn it.
Yes? Hello? Hi, how are you, Mr.
Cuauhtémoc? It's Hugo Sánchez.
Huguito! I'll let you know Mr.
Iglesias would like to see you and everyone else tonight at Club Sweat.
Does that mean I'm still playing for the Cuervos? Yes.
Well, it's not an offer, but I'll take it anyway.
Okay, who would you like me to tell? Everyone, all the other players, Potro and-- This is to celebrate Mr.
Pizarro's arrival to our team.
Javier Pizarro? So, should I tell Tony? Or not? Yes, of course.
The more the merrier.
Okay.
Well, that's it, Mr.
Cuauh témoc.
See you.
Okay.
You just relax.
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
So, I'm going to need the entire VIP section.
-I'm sorry, but it isn't available.
-Don't you know who I am? I'm with the Cuervos.
So, instead of getting in trouble, just let us through.
-I really can't.
Please understand.
-Can't you tell who this is? Well, yes, I know who that is, and I'd love to get a picture with him, but the VIP is reserved today.
I can't let you through.
Oh, yeah? By who? Well, we have it reserved for the young lady.
And who the fuck is this young lady? I can't share that information.
And is this mysterious young lady here? Well no.
Okay, then I'll give you something extra.
Buy yourself something nice.
Let's go.
I'd like to welcome you in the style of the Cuervos Negros Salvajes of Nuevo Toledo in Puebla.
Can't we just call them Cuervos? Legally? No.
Mr.
Pizarro, I'm also a center-forward.
I wish we could share tips-- A drink? I don't drink during the season.
I try to avoid alcohol, sugar, and caffeine while I train.
It's a small sacrifice so we can win.
Well, more for us! For the Cuervos! Cuervos! -Cheers! -I was walking by the boulevard, and this idiot comes to me because he thought I was Vincent Cassel.
-Who? -Vincent Cassel, dude.
-A Hollywood actor, the one that was in-- -Someone wants to talk to you.
Hold on a second, I'll be right back.
What? What happened now? Sorry, but you'll have to leave the VIP section.
Why, dude? -Because the young lady is here.
-Who's the young lady? Her.
I'll take care of it.
I'll speak with her.
That won't be possible, sir.
Hey, buddy, you are talking to the future governor of Nuevo Toledo, dude.
You think I'm going to bow down to a kid? I'll take care of it.
You do your job.
You don't vote in Nuevo Toledo, right? -No, Puebla.
-Okay, go fuck yourself, then.
What's up? Looks like we have a misunderstanding.
I reserved the VIP for my friends because we are celebrating something awesome.
So, we have it.
But if you really want to come in, we can invite you.
No, thank you.
Get out of the VIP right now, please.
No, sweetie, you don't understand.
I can't ask my friends to leave.
-Oh, no? I'll ask them, then.
-No.
-Okay, wait.
-Hey, hey.
-Hey, hey.
-Okay, okay.
Let's all calm down, okay? Why so many monkeys, dude? Let's all calm down.
Leave now.
I won't leave the VIP.
-I don't-- -Chava.
Chava, look.
Let's go somewhere else.
-This place sucks.
-No way.
It's your welcome party.
We're staying.
Do you know how stupid you sound? Look.
First of all, I'm never stupid.
Second, I could buy this club if I wanted to.
-I have more money than you.
-You don't know how much I have.
I don't care.
I don't need to know how much you have.
It's about me, and I have more than you.
-Sure.
Who the fuck are you, then? -Isabel Cantu.
Are you? -Are you family of? -His daughter.
-From that guy that owns-- -Everything.
Okay, well that means we have something in common, your father and I.
What? -You.
-You stupid-- That's our boss! Let's get the fight started as a team! Let's go! No! Hello? Where's Rafael? He's in Mexico City.
Who's this? Javier Pizarro.
I'm bleeding.
What? Are you hurt? There was a fight at the club.
Hold on.
When? With who? Your brother started a fight, players got involved, I'm hurt.
But you are okay? What do you mean hurt? What happened? They threw a bottle at me.
I can't start the season with a wound in my abdomen.
Yes, yes, of course.
I know.
I never want to see those players, they are not professional.
Oh, and keep your brother away from me.
Okay, okay, hold on, Javier, yes.
Let's calm down.
No, I'm not joking.
They fight, they drink, they don't have discipline, they are out of shape.
If you don't fire those clowns, I'll leave.
Okay.
Well Javier, you are right.
I'll take care of my brother, but I can't fire them.
We only make those decisions as a group.
Do whatever you have to.
I won't start the season with those idiots on the team.
I don't think you understand who you're talking to.
We decide who you play with.
Not you.
Perfect.
I'm out.
Hello? Hello? Javier? For fuck's sake.
Chivo, we have a huge problem.
Let me understand this.
We had agreed that you wouldn't befriend the players.
And we had decided no one would get involved in hiring.
We had our Treaty of Versailles.
I'm sorry.
Can you lower your voice? My head is about to explode, dude.
And you, why the fuck did you get into a fight with Pizarro? To keep players that we don't even want? I had signed five players that wanted to play with Pizarro and now I'm going to lose them because of you.
Well, fine.
If you don't have a problem with a player telling us who to fire and hire, then-- Look, Rafa.
Let's calm down, please.
This is part of our learning curve, and-- Shut up! This is always the problem with both of you.
You think that the players are your friends.
You treat them as if they weren't even human.
They are professional soccer players.
They are divas.
And they are our assets.
-Everything happens for a reason.
-No, screw that.
I won't allow this season to go to hell because of your stupidity.
I'm going to fix your bullshit.
Chucho, hey, how are you? This is Rafa Reyna.
How's everything? Good, man, hey.
I'm looking for new blood for the team.
I have a few players I want to offer.
Are you interested in Tony Alvarez, Potro Romani, Cuau Cruz, and Ze Renato? I'm willing to do anything.
-Hi, Rebe.
-Nice to see you again, Mr.
Pizarro.
Look I need to keep my abdomen relaxed.
Can you tell the pilot to go as smoothly as possible? Of course, sir.
Hello? Javier, how are you? It's Rafa Reyna.
Listen.
Tony and Rio are now from the Pachuca.
Tomorrow I'll fire Cuau.
You are our priority.
Look, Rafa, I just got into a plane that'll go directly to Mexico City, and it's about to leave.
Perfect.
I'll fly with you.
I'll meet you there in 15 minutes.
Fine.
-Good morning.
-Good morning, sir, welcome.
-Thank you.
Excuse me.
-You're welcome.
-Javier.
-You are stubborn, Rafa.
I'm not stubborn.
I'm tenacious.
Let's see.
Let's talk about the Cuervos Negros Salvajes de Nuevo Toledo.
Javier Pizarro as the cornerstone of our project.
I don't understand why you'd want to play poker so badly.
Luis.
This isn't legal.
So, shut up, okay? So? -So? -What do you mean, "so"? Yes.
The organizer has a soccer team, and he loves to gamble.
So, that's the reason.
Listen, Salvador, I won't allow you to bet all our money on this stupid soccer team.
You don't have to bet anything.
I'll bet my part.
Hello, excuse me.
These are for a '68 convertible.
I'm putting in my perfume factory if you put in your soccer team.
Okay.
Your turn.
Three aces.
I have some sevens and a royal flush.
What the fuck, dude? You can't bet our perfume factory without asking me first.
Hey.
I'm talking to you.
Luis, this is Gloria.
Gloria, this is my brother, Luis.
Gloria.
I get it now.
-They're going to kill us, asshole.
-Shut up, idiot.
We already have the soccer team, we made it.
Now we just need a potash factory.
I had a knot in my throat the whole time.
You are a badass.
One day, our son is going to have his own soccer team.
Hey, hey.
You have to propose to me first.
-Well, then, I'll propose.
-And what if it's a girl? If it's a girl, we'll keep trying.
You are so unique, Salvador Iglesias.
Chava, do you really need to do that right now? With the machine? It helps me evaporate the alcohol.
I'm still drunk.
The anxiety of it all.
It's Rafa, idiot.
Stop.
Chivo, Chivo, hold on, hold on.
-What happened? -Speaker, speaker.
-What happened? -What happened? It's a done deal.
Pizarro is still a Cuervo.
Oh, that's awesome, dude.
How did you do that? I promised him I'd get rid of the rotten apples.
And that I'd have the best people around him to have a winning team this season.
Okay.
Okay.
But then, you are letting him make all the decisions, no? No, Isabel, I'm just giving him his rightful place.
Good job, Rafael.
I'm very grateful.
Thank you, Chava.
Hey, love, listen, I'm going to stay at the apartment in Mexico City, and I'll see you later.
Okay? Okay.
Okay, love.
We'll talk later, then.
Take care.
Hey, good job.
-Awesome.
-Awesome.
Bye.
That's a good manager.
-Isn't he? -Yes.
How long will it take me to drive to Mexico City? Why? Take the helicopter.
-Are you going to give him some gas? -Stop it! -Do you guys still fuck? -None of your business.
Isabel.
What are you doing here? I wanted to surprise you, Chivo.
Okay.
Oh, how kinky.
A friend.
Who Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck are you? Rafael.
I'm sorry.
You're fired.
Chabela.
Isabel.
Chabela!
