Nails (2025) s01e02 Episode Script

1
-Good morning, sleepyhead.
-Hi.
Ta-da!
-What's this?
-A delicious breakfast
that I made for you
with all my love.
It's just, me, this early
I'm not hungry, Mom.
Me neither, honey,
all I need's a coffee
You have to eat something.
Why are you so dressed up?
If you're gonna be a housewife,
take advantage of it.
Ah, no. I'm not gonna go around
like a slob
just because
I'm not going to work.
I think that's great, honey.
You're always beautiful.
What are you doing?
Packing some Tupperware.
I'm not gonna throw all this food
away.
Honey, I don't think arriving
at the office with a lunch box
-as if I were 12 years old
-You've got room.
No, my documents are gonna
get all wrinkled.
-No!
-Nothing's gonna get wrinkled.
Look, you can't even tell.
Shit.
No. Not me.
Yes. They're vegetable
sandwiches, very healthy.
Mom, leave me alone.
Mom!
Okay, calm down. Come on now,
I'll take you to school.
Really?
I'm sorry.
Come on, Álex, we have
to go in ten minutes.
No!
I want Guada to give it to me.
-I'll give it to him, ma'am.
-No, no.
Honey, losing your patience
means losing the battle.
I'll give it to him, Guada.
Thanks.
I bought you some stuff for you
yesterday, Marilís.
Yeah?
I was at the herbalist
and they gave me some
really great pills
to overcome depression,
Excuse me?
Look, this one has kava, which is
a very good natural anxiolytic.
And these others
have tryptophan,
which is an amino acid
that produces serotonin
for depression.
Just because I want
to take care of my children
doesn't mean
that I'm depressed, Úrsula.
But the children
are already used to the maid,
isn't that right, darlings?
And tryptophan is really
good for everything.
You don't say.
Are you gonna take us to school,
Guada?
No, my love. I'm gonna take you
-We want Guada to take us.
-Antonella, that's enough.
Besides, you've never been
a woman very centered
on your home.
Mom,
statements are shadows
that obscure our vision.
I just mean she's always
liked other things better.
You're a modern woman
and that's great.
That's true.
Well, I'm gonna take my kids
to school.
I think I'm gonna choke
on my breakfast.
Are you angry?
I just want to help.
Well, your help isn't helping;
like the Juárez wind.
-What did she say?
-I don't know.
I've been with her for 15 years
and I still don't understand her.
-Let's go.
-No.
Either Guada takes us
or we're not going.
Well
-You come with us, Guada.
-OK, ma'am
You see? They adore her.
Come on, your jacket, Álex.
Oh, my mobile.
Ma'am, your purse.
Have a nice day, eh?
Can I have a little kiss?
No.
What about you, my love?
A little kiss for Mom,
who loves you very much.
Come on.
Antonella, give your Mom
a little kiss.
Well,
don't give me a kiss.
Ma'am, give them time.
No, it's okay. I don't care.
Hey, how are you doing?
What's this?
The Bronx now or what?
A four on
A four on the Math exam.
-I swear to you.
-Really bad.
Ah!
But you told me
to take the job.
I thought it was a café.
Not a club.
We're never gonna see
each other.
You'll go to bed when I get up.
And what for?
To do the dusting?
-You're such a drag.
-No, sweetie.
I just don't understand you.
And I'm not the only one.
-People don't get it either.
-What people?
Your mother?
She can't stand me.
Don't drive me crazy now.
I'm gonna get my nails done,
and I don't feel like fighting.
Honey,
we have to start
cutting back on those things
'cause with my salary
it's not gonna be enough.
Hello? I've been paying
for everything for years,
and now you're gonna tell me
what I can spend money on?
I can't believe this.
You don't make that much
in hospitality.
Ciao.
Hey!
What's up guys!?
Richi is gonna work at a pub.
Yes, you heard that right.
My wife went crazy
and quit her job to be
an old-fashioned woman.
She wants to clean the house
and I don't know
what other nonsense
So, we won't see
each other here as much.
OK? Come on! Bye!
YES, LET'S WORK!
THAT GIRL IS GOING BACKWARDS!!
SERVILISM IS FEMINISM'S CANCER
MAYBE SHE HAS A STROKE
WE'RE FIXED
Damn!
This could be big.
Good morning!
What are you doing back there?
You couldn't hear me
and I came to say bye.
I'm sorry, honey. Are you hurt?
-Did you make coffee?
-Ay! I didn't have time
It used to be the first thing you
did when you get up:
make coffee.
That was before and this is now.
What does that mean?
-What do I do with this now?
-Put in the coffee and the water.
-What are you doing?
-Damn, you startled me!
Didn't you tell me
to put the coffee in here?
But in the filter, Arturo.
That's where the water goes.
How should I know?
It's the first time
I've used one of these gadgets.
What gadget?
It's not advanced engineering.
-I think I'd rather go out.
-I'm off to get my nails done.
So, you don't make the coffee
for me anymore,
or put on any makeup,
-but you do get your nails done?
-Correct.
I don't understand a thing.
Can you explain to me
what your rules are?
I don't know.
I'm just going by impulse.
I don't feel like making coffee?
Then I don't.
I don't want to get dressed up?
Then I don't.
I think that's the way
to find out what you want.
Yeah, but explain that
to my husband.
And then there's my daughter,
I don't even dare talk to her.
Children, what a mess.
Good thing I didn't have any.
You have no idea
You can never relax.
I saw my daughter today
with this really strange friend.
Why don't you check her phone?
It's all on there.
How would I ever check
my daughter's mobile, woman?
It must have a password.
Xiaomi, if she brings you
the phone, could you unlock it?
This one's dumb.
She thinks that just because we're Chinese
we understand mobile phones.
My cousin, in Alcorcón,
has electronics store.
Ugh. Who wants to go Alcorcón?
I'll think of something
to spy on her.
Intimacy is sacred.
Richi and I don't even follow
each other on social media.
We made that pact
and we've never had a problem
with that.
Yeah, but my daughter is
at a very bad age.
I need to know
who she's hanging out with.
So, everything's great, right?
Irene's angry with her family,
Lina's spying on her daughter
and feel guilty
about not doing anything.
Taking care of your home
is a very tough job.
-And boring.
-That too.
Besides,
I consider myself a feminist.
and there's something in all
of this that doesn't make sense.
It's like I was betraying me
myself for living off Richi.
But he was living off you
all those years
It's his turn!
We have
a lot of complexes
That's precisely why
I would feel more comfortable
if someone explained to us
how we should be doing this.
I thought about
asking a feminist friend
to come and help us.
I don't know if you all
would like that.
That would be really cool.
I'm for anything that entails me
getting out of the house.
My mother-in-law brought me
some anti-depressant pills.
What? And Thiago
doesn't put her in her place?
No. He's got atole in his veins.
-Eh?
-Eh?
I mean, he's a coward.
And then the kids
with that goddamn Guada.
Well, fire her,
if you're at home now.
If I fired her, they'd throw me out
of the house
Lina, you told me that
you were renting this on Sundays
for your chats.
Today not Sunday!
That's true, Xiaomi.
It's just that there are
a lot of things to talk about.
One day isn't enough, eh? No.
No, Íñigo,
she was very weird.
Girls her age all dye
their hair
and have really short skirts.
That's not true.
Not our daughter.
Because she's afraid of you.
Excuse me? What did you say?
She knows that you'll get
on her case,
so she prefers
not to dye her hair.
Wait.
Do you have other conversations
with our daughter
to play the good cop with her?
Of course not!
Don't be paranoid.
I'm not paranoid at all.
Are we a team or not, Íñigo?
Lina, I'm at the office.
Remember
how much it bothered you
when I called you
when you were working.
-Shit!
-What is it?
Nothing, nothing.
I'll call you later.
Well, fuck him.
Traitor.
I can't the hang of this, eh?
Wait, that's a Windsor chair.
Who would leave this here?
People are such boors.
Ma'am, what are you doing?
Eh?
Taking this chair
to restore it.
Yeah, but it's mine.
Excuse me?
I like to sit there
and watch life go by.
It was in the trash and the trash
belongs to everyone.
But
the dumpster is mine.
My, it seems everything is yours.
The dumpster, the chair
-Five euros and I'll give it to you.
-Right.
As if we didn't pay
enough taxes already.
Find your own chair.
What you need to do
is get off all the stuff you're on;
then you end up
going crazy.
What? I've never taken anything,
ever, in my whole life.
What nerve.
I only have four euros.
That's good,
I'm offering a discount.
A euro
One-two-three-four.
See you later!
Hmm, I'll pass.
Dinner is really fattening.
Potato omelet.
And roasted vegetables,
all organic, the way you like it.
Darling,
carbohydrates at night
But tomorrow you'll burn them
at the gym.
Alright
just some roasted vegetables.
Come on.
But later
we should watch a movie.
I can't go to sleep right after
eating dinner, I have nightmares.
-Just vegetables, like Dad.
-Very good.
Some vegetables,
like Dad.
A little more.
Come on, like that.
What is it?
Nothing. I'm just fascinated
by this new facet of yours.
And now that you're like this,
like a kind of servant,
are we still gonna have a maid?
But we've never
had a maid.
-Lina, she's known for years.
-I told you not to tell her.
I don't want her to
be raised like a snob.
But, Mom,
you were working all day
and so was Dad.
Who was going to clean?
Right. In any case, I just realized
that we should know a little more
about each other.
Eh? Come on.
So, tell me who that girl was
with the green hair
and very short skirt
that you were with this morning.
No way.
Don't stick your nose in my life.
If you're bored dust.
-That's not funny.
-It is, a little.
You're not taking
my decision seriously
and I'm committed to this,
just so you know.
Well, you can start by peeling
the peppers right, Mom.
They're full of skin.
You're imbeciles, both of you.
Hi, this is Richi.
I can't pick up right now.
Leave a message,
if you want, after the beep.
Or don't, I don't care.
Just one.
Vanessa, no!
No!
Shit.
Shit
This is what happens
when I'm anxious.
In the closet!
-What are you doing?
-Restoring this chair.
Can you believe that someone
left it in the trash?
What do you know
about restoring furniture?
It's all on YouTube.
That's wood.
It could have termites.
Come on.
There are no termites in Spain.
That's in Africa.
You're starting to worry me.
Why don't you see Dr. Elias?
Because I don't need it
I'm perfectly fine.
Instead of doing this nonsense,
you could help your daughter,
She's got her hands full
with her daughter.
I just came back
from giving her a hand.
Ah, well, fine.
It was about time.
You can tell me
what happened tomorrow,
because I'm nodding off.
-Goo-bye sweetie.
-Until tomorrow, Mommy.
-Good night.
-Bye.
How about we go too?
Ah, I'm gonna stay
and read a bit more.
Of course, 'cause you
don't have to get up early
What? I get up
at the same time as always.
Marilís, I swear,
I learned my lesson.
I'm never gonna question
your competence again,
but, please,
go back to work already.
I'm not going back, Thiago.
-I'll raise your pay.
-Really?
Do you really want
to buy me off?
-It's always worked before.
-Well, not anymore.
I'm a new Marilís.
I liked the old one better.
-Well, tough shit.
-Great Great
I'll wait for you, awake,
'cause even though
you're being so selfish,
we shouldn't lose the habit
of chatting before we go to sleep.
You've got to be kidding!
I'm selfish because I want
to get my kids back?
A family
doesn't need to be perfect,
-but it does have to be tight-knit.
-Ay, no.
Don't give me phrases
from your talks now,
-I know them all by heart.
-It doesn't show.
Go to sleep,
I'm about to transform
from the Malinche into Coatlicue.
What does that mean?
Go to sleep now, dammit.
OK, fine.
OK.
Guada
Guada
Ma'am, did something happen
to the children?
Guada, you have to go.
What?
I'm very sorry, Guada.
-And you're gonna be sorrier.
-What did you just say?
Look, girl, try to understand me.
I need my children
to recognize me as their mother,
and I can't do that
with you around.
Look, pelada, your children
are never gonna love you.
You know why?
Because you're a snob,
you're selfish, and a chichipata.
I don't know what
that chichipata thing is,
but you grab your stuff
and get out of my house.
Oh, Doña Marilís,
I'm gonna sue you
for wrongful dismissal.
I dare you. And I'll tell everyone
that you abused my child.
You wouldn't dare do
something that devious.
Oh, really? Try me.
Give me the mobile.
Give me the mobile, it's ours.
-Ay
-Hey!
Give it to me!
I'm gonna put a hex on you,
bitch!
This wretched bitch
You wretch!
Fuck you!
What were you doing?
I almost fell asleep
Ah, my love, Guada
-What happened?
-Well, she left.
You don't know how I begged her.
I said, "No, Guada
please, think of the children.
They really love you.
You can't go like this."
Good night, you little bastard.
Shit.
Mom, what are you doing?
Looking at you as you sleep,
my love.
I hadn't done it
since you were a baby.
What?
And you're so cute
Irene, it's seven in the morning.
-Already?
-What do you mean, already?
What time
did you get up?
-At 5:30.
-What?
You have to make
your own coffee.
-I don't know how.
-Well, learn.
You're gonna get a splinter
in your eye
and then you'll have a problem.
Oh, our fears We have
to get out of our comfort zones.
I have two years left
until I retire.
The only place I want
to get out of is here, to Galicia,
-to go fishing.
-Don't be such a bore.
40 years together and now
it turns out that I'm a bore.
You have always been, Arturo,
but you have other good things.
Look,
I'm gonna have breakfast out,
this isn't good
for my blood pressure.
Oh, this man is a jinx.
This croissant is stale.
Of course, because it's from
yesterday.
If you wanted a fresh one,
you should have eaten it then.
Honey, let's go,
we're running late.
I'm not going anywhere
with a crazy woman
who stares at me
when I'm sleeping
at 3 in the morning.
-Did you do that?
-Eh?
No, yes; I was nostalgic
for when she was a baby
and she didn't hate me.
Is it that weird?
I'll take her.
But give me a little kiss.
before you leave, alright?
-Give me a kiss.
-Mom!
But hey,
I'm your mother, eh?
That's the second time
you've pulled a cobra on me;
I'm counting them.
What a temper
Well
Are you watching porn
at 8 in the morning?
A new game came out
and I want to upload content
before other gamers do.
-Ay!
-What happened?
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Since you got up so early,
why don't we take advantage
of the time we have?
No, I have to finish this.
Later, before the siesta.
-What siesta?
-No.
I can't, Vane.
Honey, I don't have time,
later
This is the first time
you've rejected me.
I'm not rejecting you, my love.
I told you, later
I'll give it my all.
Your all? I can't believe it.
Damn, El Chotas
is following me. I hit it big.
The guacamole's ready.
Come on, the fruit, Álex.
But, where's Guada?
Her mother fell sick last night
and Marilís
had to buy her a ticket.
But she didn't even say goodbye
to us.
Oh, she told me to give
everyone lots of kisses for her.
-I don't want it, it's cold.
-Well, don't eat it then.
You'll eat
when you're hungry.
Honey,
do you want me to take them?
I'd be glad to.
Well, if you really want to
But later you have to
give me a hand with the talk,
'cause I don't do everything.
I think you should hire
another maid.
No.
I'll take care of my children.
If it's about the money,
don't worry,
-I'll help you, as always.
-It's not about that, dumbass.
Marilís!
No, that's an affectionate term
in my country.
Thank you very much, Úrsula,
but I'll handle it.
Asking for help is courageous.
I'll take care of it, Thiago.
You decide.
You're not gonna eat
the guacamole?
With the cookies and coffee?
I made it.
This is 112,
the Emergency Hotline
Come on, that's it
Son, you seem
really stressed out.
I am, Mom.
I'm up to my ears in work.
Why don't you hire
an assistant?
-Marilís is gonna come back.
-She's not going back.
Yes, she's gonna come back.
She's not going back, son.
your wife is very stubborn.
And jealous.
Maybe if you interviewed
some pretty girls,
she'd go running back.
-Mom, do you like Marilís?
-I'm very fond of her.
The thing is, I think that she's
making a mistake.
And we have to help
the poor thing.
That bit about
making her jealous,
I find that despicable.
I won't do it.
Okay, son, whatever you say.
I just wanted
to help that dumbass.
Dumbass?
Yes. She told me
it's a term of endearment.
You're gonna drive me crazy,
between the two of you.
Now I don't remember
where I was.
Small turnout, right?
Do you know if more people
are coming?
I don't think so.
Oh, surprise!
What's this?
A surprise party,
with all your friends,
so we can get to know each other
and spend some time together.
You're a bitch.
Because of you, my parents are
spending a fortune on therapy.
I just came to tell you
that I hate you
and I dream about killing you.
-But
-Remember me?
You called me Elisa the Flat One.
It looks like you're
the flat one now.
I'll never forgive you
for this!
But I just wanted to surprise you
with your friends.
We're not friends.
We hate her.
It's a good thing
you sent her to a new school.
Your daughter is a real harpy.
Where did you get
these lunatics from?
From her diary
with the pink unicorn.
Lina, for God's sake, we gave her
that when she was 11.
Was it that long ago?
And all to control her?
No. Not to control her.
I want to know
who my daughter is.
But it's impossible
to talk to her.
Ah, no. And after this, you can
totally forget about it, eh?
Íñigo, is our daughter
a harpy?
You've really done it now, Lina.
You've really done it now.
You sure try to look good
to serve drinks, don't you?
You're not gonna get jealous
after all this time,
are you sweetie?
You tell me.
Nothing good happens at night.
Oh my God, woman,
you sound like my mother.
Well, mothers are wise,
so be careful.
Sweetheart, what did we say
about cutting expenses?
-Richi, drop it.
-What did you buy?
A ladder
to do the dusting.
And don't supervise me.
Oh, my little she-devil,
you sure get feisty, mamma mia.
-Are you gonna miss me?
-A lot.
I won't buy any new ones,
but these were already here.
Shouldn't these kids
be in bed?
They'll go to bed
when they're sleepy.
The truth is that I
don't believe in schedules.
Since when?
You were always
very strict about that.
Some of us evolve,
my love.
I still say that you should
hire a new maid.
Well, I still say that I can raise
my children without any help.
Don't get sore at me.
I mean a maid who sweeps,
irons, and loads
the washing machine.
Or are you also
gonna do all that?
Yes. Well,
if it has to be done, yes.
Why don't you go back
to work with me
-and leave the dude alone?
-What are you doing?
I want to see if you'll listen to me
if I speak Mexican.
I'm not going back
to work for you.
In the end I'm gonna have
to find someone.
That sounds great to me.
Mommy, mommy, mommy.
What happened?
What happened?
Are you alright?
My love, my love, let's see.
Let's see
Oh, sweetheart, are you OK?
Oh, let's put a little water on it.
Let's put a little water on it.
Yes, put a little water on it,
put some water on it.
She stomped on me.
She didn't care
about the assistant.
That's what you think.
She's gonna bite the dust.
Mom, are you sure
you like Marilís?
Yes, son, yes.
Give it a rest.
I adore her.
-I hate her.
-No.
-May I?
-No!
Honey, I'm so sorry
about the party, really.
My intentions were good.
Now I'm glad that I did it.
-What?
-Honey!
Thanks to this
we've discovered
that she have some problems
with her friends.
They're not my friends!
-You're such a pain.
-Whatever they are.
You weren't nice to them
and we have to find out
why you're so angry.
Because I can't stand you.
-Do you think this is the time?
-Stop being the good cop,
please,
you're getting on my nerves.
Get out of my room
Yes, honey.
I'll leave in a second.
But I want you to think
about going to therapy.
The one
who should go to therapy
is you, you're crazy.
Hey, don't talk to me like that.
We'd better drop it here
and talk some other time.
No, I haven't finished
talking
Lina, this is not the way
to get her to open up to you.
First apologize to her.
Then maybe later
we can see about therapy.
-I already apologized.
-Please, I'm asking you!
-Lower your voice.
-Please, I'm asking you.
Don't spend your time
harassing the girl
because if she was already
repulsed by you
She has to go to therapy
It's clear that something
is not right in her head.
Veronica is a normal girl
with a complicated
adolescence.
Bullying an overweight kid
and teasing a girl so bad
that she got breast implants,
does that seem to you like
a "complicated adolescence?"
That summary is a bit
What is it, Vanessa?
What?
Where are you going?
You're gonna get yourself killed!
Oh, Irene.
You have to wear a mask
when you use a paint remover,
-they're very toxic.
-Of course.
And doesn't taking things
from the trash disgust you?
Of course.
What if something serious
had happened to you?
Of course!
Arturo, come on, please, darling,
leave us alone.
On top of it all!
Your fight for freedom is sure
off to a good start.
Irene, you're alive!
Relax, Xiaomi,
it was just a scare.
I heard that you dead
and your account unpaid.
Hmm
I was wondering why
I told you not to trust anyone.
I know what I'm doing. This is how I keep their business.
We came here for nothing, the old woman's still alive.
What the hell is she saying?
It looks like your sister
is upset, right?
No, no, no.
My sister hope
that Mrs. Irene get well soon.
-How sweet!
-Yes.
