Nails (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

1
This exercise
is called the "Chain of Feelings."
I give you a physical instruction,
and you do it on the board
At the same time, you say
how you feel at that moment.
OK?
-I don't get it.
-Just do what I tell you.
Right, but first
I have to understand.
-Íñigo, don't question her.
-No, I'm not questioning her.
But I'd like to know
what I have to do.
Shut up and obey.
Put your left foot
on the red triangle.
Good.
Now, your two hands
on the green triangle.
Now say how you feel.
Ridiculous.
Other than that.
Íñigo, make an effort.
Impotent.
Unmotivated, manipulated.
Literally.
Well, that's the idea.
Very good.
Lina, it's your turn.
Put your left foot
on the green triangle.
And your right foot
on the red triangle.
Let me
-Make some room.
-Lina, you're gonna knock me down.
What do you want?
I don't work for Cirque du Soleil.
I can't believe it.
And we just started.
Observations:
group tendency to prioritize
immediate and tangibl responses
in the face of complex emotions.
I want you to put
your right foot
-Yes.
-on the yellow triangle
that you have
just behind your right hand.
But passing your foot
in front of Verónica's.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Meanwhile, tell us how you feel.
Eh? Well
I feel I feel lonely.
I feel misunderstood too.
I fee Ay!
Oh, my ankle.
Sweetheart, are you OK?
No, no, I hurt my foot.
Put ice on it, Mom.
Oh, wait.
No, no.
No, no, no, Lina.
You're fleeing from your emotional pain
hiding in the physical realm.
Yeah, whatever you say,
but I'm going to get some ice.
-Let's see
-No, no, no.
Hang in there.
Thanks.
Should we continue?
Eh
Girls, this is Clara, an old friend
of mine I've known for 20 years.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Thanks for having me at your talks.
Welcome, girl.
Welcome.
Well, I feel a bit awkward
telling you this
-but I need your help.
-No, don't worry.
You can tell us anything you want,
no one's going to judge you here.
OK.
My husband farts.
I know it's a bit ridiculous,
but I've been telling him
not to for years
and he doesn't pay any attention.
I know it's normal for a
marriage to go through these things,
but I can't stand it anymore.
Well, well, let's see
The important thing is
that if you don't feel good
about the situation, well
for you to set limits.
Well, my husband and I
fart together
and we think it's really funny.
Really? That's disgusting, my God.
I haven't heard Richi fart,
ever, and I never have either.
Íñigo neither.
It's hard enough remaining
attracted to each other
without giving in to
such decadence.
I fart, but silent ones.
What?
Arturo can tell, looks at me weird,
and I play dumb.
What a piggy!
The important thing here is that
your husband has to respect you.
But I don't want to be
an intolerant witch.
He says that in his house he should
be able to do whatever he wants.
-In a way, he's right.
-Well, it's your house too.
The guy should go to the bathroom
if he has to do that.
I tell him that and he agrees,
but then
With men, it's no use
asking them 20 times.
They learn to ignore
our voices.
It's something in their brains.
-You have to act.
-Right.
Yeah, but what do I do?
I just had an idea.
Is this what they rent us
the place for?
Xiaomi, do you Orientals fart?
Irene, they're Chinese,
not Martians.
-Hi.
-Marilís, you're finally home.
-Hi.
-Hi, honey.
I have two surprises for you.
The little surprises again.
Oh, how exciting, right?
What's this?
Open it. If I told you,
it wouldn't be a surprise.
"Perfect Mothers Course."
What bullshit is this?
Well, what it says, a course
to learn how to be a mother.
-How interesting.
-I know how to be a mother!
I gave birth to two kids!
Yes, but as they're
a little rebellious,
I thought this would help you.
And didn't it occur to you
that if I do the course,
plus everything else I have
to do at home,
I won't have time to be
with the kids?
And that's why I stopped working.
That's true too.
Of course I thought of that.
That's the second surprise.
Rosario, come in.
Hello, good morning.
Spanish,
from Castellón de la Plana
She comes recommended
by my friend Pituca.
She says she's the best maid
she's ever had.
Ursula, I told you
that I take care of the kids.
Rosario's only going to
clean the house for a little while,
while you take the course.
I'm not going to take
this bullshit course!
Thiago, do you think
this is normal?
No, Mom, I think you should
have talked about this with Marilís.
I'm paying for it.
Ah, well, in that case
Maybe a little while
wouldn't be bad, my love.
Rosario, I'll show you
to your room.
OK.
Shit!
Why does it splatter so much?
It splashed on my arm,
I'm gonna get a blister.
Come on, don't exaggerate.
You win,
I'm gonna hire a maid.
The oil's dripping on the floor.
You take care of that.
I have no idea
about the qualities that
a maid has to have.
Domestic employee, Arturo.
That language is classist.
That's it!
I'm gonna make
a hard-boiled one.
-What are you doing?
-Eh?
Nothing.
I'm checking the weather.
And why do you put your mobile
on your lap and not on the table?
Done.
You see?
I've got nothing to hide.
You're seeing someone,
I know it.
What?
Don't be silly, sweetheart.
I'm crazy about your curves.
Sweetheart, how do you?
How do you feel
being a homemaker?
The truth?
I really miss working.
Yeah, sure, but what
do you like the most?
Ironing, scrubbing
-Cleaning the bathrooms
-None of the three.
Who the hell could like that?
I don't know, there must be
something that motivates you more.
Why are you asking me
this crap, man?
Well, because then you tell me
that I never listen to you.
Weren't you against
me staying at home?
-Suddenly it seems you like it.
-No.
But if you're happy, I'm happy.
Happy? Hmmm
I'm not exactly happy
but I understand it's a stage
and that I need time to figure out
what I really want to do.
Of course, of course.
What is it that you like
to do at home the most?
-Ironing, scrubbing
-Again?
Drop it, man!
Well, watering the plants.
Shit, at least they're alive.
I'm gonna change.
Well, I'll adapt it.
What's up?
My girl just told me
that she's delighted
being a homemaker
and what she likes the most
is vacuuming.
Can you believe it or what?
But if she's happy
Are you still
with the cavewoman?
Your girlfriend's
in another era.
Tradwives are based on
ultraconservative ideologies,
leave that outdated woman.
What the hell is a tradewife?
-Yeah?
-Hi. Richi?
Yes. Who's this?
I'm calling you from the
company Happy Home.
We're interested in you doing a
campaign for us on the networks.
Are you interested?
Of course I'm interested.
What's it about?
A kitchen robot.
A kitchen robot?
We thought that, as your
girlfriend is a tradwife,
you'd be ideal for this campaign.
Yes, yes, my girlfriend
is a total tradewife.
Convince your followers
that you're a man who's
committed to your girl
and that's why you bought her
our robot
to help her
with her work at home.
Can you do that?
How much are you paying?
1,500 euros.
For that money I'll sell
whatever you want, buddy.
Well, our lawyers will be in touch
with you so you can
sign the contract
Bye.
Bye.
I finally hit it big!
Or your Mom moves out
or one day you're gonna find her
in the trunk of the car.
The problem is that the house isn't ours,
she paid for it.
Well, I could care less.
Give her the money or whatever
and have her fuck off.
Do you know how much
this house is worth?
Wait.
Hi, girl.
Marilís, you had a really good
cleaning lady, right?
Yes, but I fired her,
she was a fucking bitch.
Why? Do you need one?
Yes, Arturo's finally decided.
Who is that?
Irene needs a cleaning lady.
Send her Rosario.
If she pays her more than my mother,
I'm sure she'll leave.
Girl, it's all settled.
What time do you want her
at your house tomorrow?
Tell her to stop by at eleven.
-Good night, darling.
-Good night.
Great.
We're finally teaming up
against your mother.
Of course.
-I'm on it.
-Oh, that turns me on.
Does your foot still hurt?
Quite a bit.
I don't know, this therapy is weird
and the doctormistreats us.
I think that's part
of her strategy.
To discipline us.
That, or she's totally crazy.
Don't make me laugh,
I'll spit the toothpaste.
But, are you sure that
you want to keep doing this?
Yes, of course.
You're not?
I am, I am.
Let's see
I think she's helping us
quite a bit.
Even if right now
it doesn't seem like it
A lot, a lot.
I think so too.
Well.
I'm going to bed, OK?
Fucking therapy.
-Did you say something?
-Eh? Nothing, nothing.
Remember that tomorrow we're
having lunch with Lucía and Marcos!
I hope your foot is better!
Oh, that's right!
What a drag
Wow. Well, that's a first.
Great, very good.
More energy, Lourdes.
How's it going?
How are you feeling
after so long?
Good, good.
Great.
Are you gonna want
to buy a pack of 10?
This session
I'm not going to pay for.
Excuse me?
I was injured because of you.
You owe me one.
Eh Alright.
But you're paying for the next one.
We'll see.
Come on, squat all the way down.
All the way down, Lourdes.
I'll show you.
You see? You need more sessions.
You're the one who's
doing it wrong.
Isometric squat.
Five minutes.
Five.
Good morning, family.
-Hi, Mom.
-Hello.
Where's the coffee?
Where is that woman?
Rosario!
Where are you going?
To work at another house, ma'am.
-What?
-They're paying more.
But, what are you,
a mercenary or a maid?
Mom!
I left the sheets
in the laundry room.
Adding insult to injury.
-Good-bye.
-Bye.
Goodbye, Rosario.
I'm so sad that Rosario
is gone.
I'd grown fond of her.
Well, I'm going to take
the kids to school.
Right.
Do you have anything to tell me?
Me?
Not me, why?
What do you mean
you sold the company?
I don't understand a thing.
Well, there's nothing
to understand.
I just wasn't happy, period.
And you're happy at home?
Well, look,
so far I'm delighted.
I cook for my family,
I iron shirts for my husband,
right?
Have you ever ironed?
It's incredible.
You take this thing
that's ugly and wrinkled
and all of a sudden, boom!
It's all smooth and elegant.
I'm crazy about it.
Then there are the bubbles
in the iron, they go
They're relaxing, I swear.
The other day I almost
fell asleep on top of a shirt.
I almost burned it,
I didn't tell you.
You're kidding, right?
No.
Íñigo.
What do you think about your wife
one of the top auditors
in this country
a successful executive who
everybody bowed to
becoming a housewife
who's crazy about ironing?
I don't
I don't know, I don't get involved
with her stuff.
Live and let live.
Right, but, with all due disrespect,
if I saw Lucía wearing an apron
making coffee cake
it would be a real turn-off
Yeah, well, I'm not
making coffee cake yet.
Well, whatever you do.
But, it's crazy, isn't it?
It's like having another woman
as your wife.
Well, maybe
I was always who I am now
and not that top executive
Come on!
And you don't care?
I can't believe it.
Where's the waiter?
I'm thirsty.
Waiter!
Here you have
the cloths and wipes.
Rosario, forgive me, would you
rather I called you Ms.
-Whatever you prefer.
-No, whatever you prefer.
-You pay, you decide.
-Well, my husband's paying.
By the way,
how much is he paying you?
I don't know if I can tell you that.
I don't want him to fire me
for being a gossip.
Don't worry, I already talked
to him about paying you
600 euros?
Well, he's only paying me 550.
But don't worry,
I'll get the rest from him.
I'm going to need
a microfiber wipe,
a shirt ironing accessory,
and a mop made of braided yarn.
I'm sorry.
Hi, Clara,
how did it go?
OK, OK.
See you tomorrow
at the nail salon.
Kisses.
Glass cleaner with
a wild pine scent,
a magic scouring pad,
and a floor mop.
My God, how professional!
You have no idea.
Come on, a minute and a half
and we're done.
Why are we doing the
workouts at your place now?
Well, because
I wanted to live more simply.
I sold the gym.
I called you all,
just a few students of mine.
Well, coming here is not really
convenient for me.
So, you can call the next person
on your list, no problem.
-Hello, Lina.
-Where are you?
I called you 20 times today.
I muted my phone.
Yesterday I heard Iñigo fart
for the first time in 20 years.
It looks like we invoked it
with our conversation.
I can't believe it.
How did you feel?
-Strange.
-Vanessa, should I stretch now?
-Who was that?
-What?
Yes, my neighbor,
she came to see me.
Kisses, bye.
Shit.
-Excuse me?
-No, that wasn't for you.
It's just me.
-Are you talking to yourself?
-Stretch, sweetie. Stretch.
Did you see your Mom's face?
She didn't open her mouth
once at dinner.
Honey, holding a grudge
is like holding embers:
the one that gets burned is you.
No, man. This is awesome.
You're not gonna read today.
-Ah, no?
-No.
Daddy!
-But
-Where's Mommy?
Here I am.
My love,
I was looking for my sock.
What are you doing here?
Why aren't you asleep already?
On the count of three, you two
burst into Mom and Dad's room
and surprise them.
-OK.
-Come on.
But don't say anything
about it being my idea.
Or you get no candy.
-OK.
-Come on, one, two, three.
Kids, you have to go
to sleep, tomorrow there's school.
I want you to take us again
to the park with those balls.
-What park with balls?
-No, no park.
What park with balls?
-No, don't start.
-Listen.
-No, don't start.
-Álex, you're going to fall.
-Listen.
To bed, now.
Both of you, to bed.
I made it, the homemaker.
Maybe you're embarrassed
to eat it.
Excuse me?
No, I say that because maybe
you'd prefer that
I done an executive suit
and have dinner out.
Is this about today's lunch?
What do you think?
Why is it my fault that
our friends attacked you?
Could you pass me the bread?
I find it despicable
that you weren't capable of
standing up for me for one second.
You pretend to be a strong woman,
and now it turns out that I should've
come to your defense?
The thing is
I don't understand anything.
Could you pass me the bread, please?
You say you support me,
but deep down you think I'm ridiculous,
just like them.
This was something
that you decided to do.
I didn't get involved.
What I'm not going to do is shoulder
the burden of your frustrations.
-My frustrations?
-Yes.
Could you pass me the bread,
please?!
Well, the therapy is
really helping us, isn't it?
Rosario cooks well.
Arturo, why didn't you
ever pay me
for doing housework?
What are you talking about, Irene?
Have you gone completely mad?
You're going to pay Rosario
550 euros.
How indiscreet.
-I'll talk to her tomorrow.
-Don't change the subject.
Why didn't you give me
a salary?
Because we're a couple, Irene,
my God:
you work at home
and I go to work.
Yeah, but you get paid
for your work
and you never paid me
for mine.
I don't wanna hear any more
nonsense before going to sleep.
Take your pill, come on.
What's up?
My girl just confessed to me
that she's delighted
being a homemaker
-And what she likes the most
-Mom, knock before you come in.
-I'm sorry.
-Amazing, isn't it?
What were you watching?
This really cool guy who uploads
stuff about his girlfriend.
An old-fashioned woman like you
who decided to clean and cook.
-No! Can you show it to me?
-Mom, what do you want?
I brought you a vegetable sandwich
for recess.
Today you're not making us
a hypercaloric macro breakfast?
I don't feel like
making anything for your father.
If I embarrass him,
he can go out for a coffee.
-Mom, do you think this is normal?
-What?
You're behaving like a little girl,
-but I'm the teenager.
-He started it.
Keep me out of your fights
with Dad
I've got enough with my exams
and don't need to worry about
your paranoias.
What paranoias?
And then you want me to be normal.
It's not the end of the world, Antonella,
you're going to go to school.
I don't want to, Mommy! I don't want to!
Neither do I!
What do you mean you don't want to?
You're going and that's it.
-No!
-No!
The maids raise them
and then they want to be obeyed.
Mind your own business, bitch.
-Hi.
-Ricardo Linares?
-Who?
-That's me.
Oh, shit.
Right.
-Damn.
-Sign here.
-Thanks.
-Thanks.
What's this?
It's a kitchen robot.
You bought me a robot?
No, sweetheart, it's for my first
campaign as a micro-influencer.
-Can you believe it or what?
-What?
They're paying me 1,500 bucks,
just like that!
How did you do it?
Well, when you get down to work,
everything flows, dear.
Why did they give you something
like this?
How should I know, my love?
They give you the first thing they have.
But, isn't it great?
Well, yes, it's great,
but I don't get it.
I'm taking you out to eat to celebrate.
Sweetheart!
What can I do for you, Irene?
Let's see, I came
because Lorena told me,
a feminist
friend of a friend,
that housewives should
have divorce attorneys.
I think that's great.
At your service.
But, you must want to ask me
something specific, right?
Yes.
My husband hired a housekeeper
and is paying her a fortune.
And that makes me angry because
I've been his housekeeper his whole life
and he didn't give me a penny.
Ask your husband
for what he owes you.
I hinted at it,
but he scoffed at the idea.
How many years have you
been together?
Almost 40.
And how much is he paying
the maid?
550 euros a month
for 5 hours a day.
Well, that's it.
I'll do the calculation
of what he owes you
and you tell him to sign
an IOU at a notary.
A what?
The important thing is
to decide how you want him to pay,
a lump payment
or in monthly instalments.
No, no, I
I can't do that.
My daughter would stop talking to me
and Arturo would ask for a divorce.
So, why did you come?
I don't know
-To know whether I'm right.
-Well, you are.
I'm sorry, it was a mistake
for me to come.
-Sorry for wasting your time.
-No problem.
Yes, it is.
-What do I owe you?
-Nothing, nothing.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, well.
-Well, that's it.
-Irene.
-Eh?
-My glasses.
Right, right.
How nice.
What a cute panda!
This is very heavy.
No, no, not this.
I like this.
Ma'am!
Here we go again.
-Five euros.
-No way.
I'm not giving you a dime, you thief!
Let go!
Let go!
Ay, you hurt me.
Well, I'll put it on your tab.
People have some nerve.
She took the panda
and the bassinet, right?
Shit.
Here we go
Wow!
You brought a real feast, Lina.
No, just four little things.
Tabouleh, potato salad,
beet humus
and tuna turnovers.
Wow, delicious!
Irene, what's this?
A bassinet I found
in the garbage.
For my granddaughter.
Tell them that they can't eat here!
This isn't a coffee shop!
You no can eat here.
Here not coffee shop.
Xiaomi, try the turnover.
This isn't a spring roll.
Tuna turnover.
Try it.
Leave that.
Very good turnover!
But you no can eat here.
-Well.
-Clara, tell us.
Before they throw us out
on the fucking street.
Well
-I followed your advice.
-And?
Clara.
-This is
-Yes.
It's mine.
I took it from the toilet
this morning.
So you understand
that the way you feel right now
is how I feel when you fart.
He hasn't done it again.
Yeah! Yeah!
Thank you very much, really.
It worked wonders.
I told you, you've got to give me
a dose of their own medicine.
Do you realize?
We helped this girl
to be happier
In the end, these meetings are
actually going to work.
-Things are changing.
-And this is just the beginning, damn it!
Today we can truly say
that The Free Women's Club
is now a reality.
Great!
Cool!
