Maxima (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

Why didn't you tell me
about the meeting?
Because I didn't know what it was about.
Yeah, well, but you suspected something,
otherwise you would've just told me.
Máx, what do you want?
Because I didn't know what it was about.
What do I want?
What do you think I want?
To know where I stand, what to expect.
I'm sorry.
Who were there?
Just the Prime Minister?
Van der Stoel.
And my mother was also there.
Your mother?
Why was your mother there?
Okay, what?
Alex, come on, spit it out.
They're saying that your father
will not be allowed
to attend our wedding,
or, at least,
there will be no consent law.
What is a consent law?
It's all political stuff,
it doesn't matter.
What does it mean?
Everybody involved in the matter
just wants to show their balls, it's
Alex, why is my father
not allowed to be at my wedding?
-What does that report say?
-I don't know exactly.
And I promise you,
we'll do everything to fix this.
How can you be so sure
if you don't know what's in it?
-Well
-Fuck! Unbelievable!
How can you ask this of me?
Me? It's them, I was blindsided as well.
This is not what I want, either,
I was furious.
-Bravo.
-Hey, Máx, wait, please.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Because I wanted to wait
for the right time,
I didn't want to turn it
into a big thing.
Not a big thing?
So, my father cannot be at our wedding,
and you call this not a big thing?
That's not what I'm
Máx, I didn't want you
to worry unnecessarily.
No, Alex, you're so arrogant
that you think that you can
bend things to your will.
Máx, please.
Go to hell.
Máx, please,
can you wait one second so we can talk?
Leave me alone.
It's all just politics!
To hell with politics!
You kept me in the dark on this.
Please, Máx.
Fuck.
-Hello?
-Tris, it's me.
-So good to see you!
-I can't believe it.
Wow, Tris, look at your view.
You can sleep in bed with me,
that's all I can offer.
-Like when we were little.
-Yes.
Look at how young we were.
Your mother called twice
to see if you've arrived okay.
-Typical. Can I use your phone?
-Of course.
We're going to do
so many fun things now I'm here!
You know,
I read in a magazine in Buenos Aires
that New York has restaurants
with swimming pools on the terraces.
Yeah.
We could go to Broadway.
I would also like to see
the Statue of Liberty. Right?
-The Empire State.
-Yes.
Máx, but we don't have to do
everything immediately.
Hello.
Yeah.
This is Máxima Zorreguieta,
I wanted to confirm
an interview for tomorrow.
Yeah.
Okay, that's perfect.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, Tris,
let's go out for dinner, my treat.
Máx, New York is very expensive.
I'm telling you.
Tris, I'll soon have a job
on Wall Street.
From now on, dinners are on me.
-So, you're from Buenos Aires.
-Yes.
You know my father, right?
Do I?
Or maybe your father knows my father.
Because I think I met your father once,
on a ski trip to Bariloche.
I'm sorry, time is money, I know.
Who cares about Bariloche
when you're here in New York?
So, tell me, why do you think
you're the right fit for the job?
I'm really good with numbers.
I mean
No, I'm really good with numbers.
Yeah and I like people and I'm looking
for new challenges here in New York.
Interesting.
Yeah.
BARCLAYS, D. PETERS
Interesting.
GOLDMAN SACHS, JONATHAN REYNOLDS
We've got your information
from Tim at Merrill Lynch
and Robert at Citicorp.
Looks like you've been making rounds.
And I thought people in finance
were supposed to be discrete.
We're glad they aren't.
We happen to be looking
for someone in sales.
To complete our Latin America team.
Well, that's me.
Well, tell me why.
I don't really like talking
about my accomplishments, but
I can tell you about
the biggest mistake I've ever made.
When I was working
in the Bank of Boston,
we made a huge misjudgment
regarding the Mexican peso.
And our clients lost a lot of money
and I felt horrible.
But, in the long,
run it made me resilient.
More diligent, meticulous even.
HSBC, CAOIMHE RYAN
I am in charge of Canada,
Florida and Texas, but
I'm Caoimhe's back-up for her
most important clients in New York.
Like Soros and Merrill Lynch. Look.
"Máxima Zorreguieta, Vice President
of Relations of Latin America."
I'm toasting to you.
Thank you, dad.
I found an apartment near Central Park.
In three weeks I'll get the keys.
It's small but it doesn't matter,
I'll never be there.
At 7 am at the office,
I'm the first there and last to leave.
You know
Grandma Máxima would be proud of you,
just like me.
I could never afford an apartment
in this neighborhood.
You shouldn't have
become an artist, then.
I hate you.
I'm going to miss living with you.
I'm going to miss you too.
Do you know what I'm not going to miss?
Your hair in the shower.
Do you know what I won't miss?
Your spiritual nonsense.
I know you think this is bullshit,
but it really helps, trust me.
It also smells good, right?
Don't forget the bedroom.
The most important room.
Choose a painting for your apartment,
I'll giving it to you.
Mom, my apartment is too small,
nothing would fit.
It's Tris. Tris!
Hey.
María Pame.
Glad to see you.
-Máxi didn't say you were visiting.
-It's a surprise.
May I introduce you
to my friends from Buenos Aires.
She is Máxima Zorreguieta
and her mom, María Pame.
-Hello.
-So nice to meet you.
-María Pame.
-Nice to meet you.
And this is Peter,
he introduced me to the art scene here.
Did I hear Tris just sayZorregueta?
Zorreguieta.
Yes, Zorreguieta.
Are you by any chance related
to Dolores Zorreguieta, the artist?
Yes.
-Yeah, she is my sister.
-No way.
I just saw her exhibition
the other day, Wounds.
-Have you had a chance to see it yet?
-No.
Okay. Well, I won't say much then,
because I don't want to ruin
the experience for you, but
it was really impressive.
She did an amazing job
of capturing the pain,
and the fear and the violence
in her youth in her art.
-And it's a pleasure to meet her mother.
-No.
I'm not her mother.
She's my half-sister,
we share the same father.
Yes, her father and mine
are close friends.
-Small world.
-Small world.
Okay. I think we need a drink.
-Yes, amazing.
-Please.
-Thank you.
-So nice to meet you. Brilliant.
-Enjoy your evening.
-Thank you, you too.
Mom, you can't react like that.
What should I say?
She's not my daughter.
I know, but nevermind.
Of course I'm not going
to Dolores' exhibition, darling.
On top of it, she makes art
out of all her pain, the threat
and all the violence
that she had in her youth.
Please, such nonsense.
Okay, mom, that's enough.
I'm saying it
because you exaggerate too.
Wasn't it you who told me
you couldn't get pregnant back then?
Oh, no, Máxima.
You're leaving a lot of tracks.
Move, child.
-Let me. Máxima, let me do it.
-Mom, I can do it, just let me.
Máxima, don't you see how bad it looks?
Can you live with these marks?
Let me do it properly.
Straight. Straight, girl.
At some point,
you need to let go of things.
Do you understand?
When we're done, we'll have some wine.
We've earned that.
Yes.
This is going to be beautiful.
-What do you think, much better, right?
-I love it.
More light comes in this way,
fantastic, better feng shui.
Great.
I hadn't thought about it that way.
-Yes.
-To your new life, girl.
Cheers, mom.
-Let me know when you arrive.
-Take care, darling.
-Give dad a hug for me.
-Of course.
-Bye, my dear.
-Bye.
Loli!
Máx.
I can't believe it.
You're all grown up.
-So beautiful too.
-Thank you, you also look great.
New York suits you, seriously.
This man, Peter.
He was very impressed by your work.
He said that since you're in New York,
most of your work is about Argentina.
It happened.
It was as if it came at me
with more force from a distance.
The violence of those years,
all the fear, the pain.
I can only work on things
that are about to break down.
Things that bother me,
make me feel uncomfortable.
Have you ever been able
to talk about what happened with dad?
He doesn't want to listen
nor take any kind of responsibility.
Unbelievable,
since so much has come to light.
-How can someone
-No, sorry, wrong subject, my fault.
Excuse me for asking you.
You're a lot like him.
Why?
We're not arguing,
we're talking about something.
Máx, you're 25 years old,
you've graduated,
you're even an economist,
what do you think?
Come on, you saw,
you read, you heard things.
He worked so hard
to give us every opportunity.
Máx! 30,000 people missing,
babies stolen,
drugged bodies dumped into the sea.
Shit, I promised myself
this wouldn't happen.
Not with you.
-It was nice to see you.
-Máx
I love you so much,
and Jorge was
a great father to you, I know it.
-Excuse me. I need
-Please.
Máxi.
What's going on?
Why can't Dolores leave the past behind?
Máx
Artists ask questions.
That's what we do, it's our task.
And it's
It's courageous too.
What is courageous?
To use our last name to get fame?
No.
It's brave to stand up to him.
I've been there.
Her exhibition.
Wounds.
I thought it was impressive.
It's a lot. It made me think.
Think of our childhood.
Think of our youth.
About how we were safe
on an island at Northlands.
While the world outside
was on fire, Máx.
I won't be joining for dinner,
I'll see you later.
Máx.
So, I thought it were my feet at first,
my shoes, but it turns out
it's actually my core.
So, I've been doing yoga like every day,
like every morning
just to get my hips loose
and it's been working
like wonders for my stride
Sorry, can you excuse me one minute?
-I'll be right back.
-Alright.
Excuse me.
Hi, Cynthia?
Hello.
Máxima.
Zorreguieta.
Northlands?
Máxima Zorreguieta?
-Can you excuse me for a minute?
-Yeah.
Máxima Zorreguieta!
What are you doing here?
-Would you like to join us?
-No, it's fine, I'm with a colleague.
-Oh, do you work here?
-Yes.
Until recently I worked at HSBC,
Vice President sales for Latin America.
I went to Deutsche Bank.
What about you?
Good.
I've been living here for years
and do a lot of things.
A lot of photography
and I'm in the fashion industry.
I'm currently at DKNY.
-Do you know them?
-Yes, certainly.
-So good to see you again.
-I agree.
No, give me your phone number,
give me a moment.
Relax, here.
That's my phone number.
I see, wow.
-Shall I call you?
-That's fine, it was a pleasure.
-Excuse me.
-Bye.
I'm sorry, an old friend.
Yes. You don't have to worry about that,
we'll take care of that.
No! No way!
Okay, don't worry about that.
Okay, I will.
Let me call you later.
Okay, yeah, I'll send it to you.
Okay, thank you, bye.
Hi, Cynthia.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
Zorreguieta!
I'm so happy
that you're here, seriously.
I didn't know
if you'd accept the invitation.
Anyway.
I'm very happy that you're here.
It'll be fun.
-Let me show you around.
-Beautiful house.
You like it? We're very happy.
Because we just renovated
the whole living room.
That's why I'm throwing
this cocktail party.
So, it's nothing, all very informal.
There are only cool people here.
Oh, and a Rockefeller,
maybe even a Kennedy.
Come.
Meet Philippe and Ana.
Phil, Ana, this is Máxima.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
She is my best friend from Buenos Aires.
So
Well, Phil and Ana spend
about half of the year in New York
and the other half in Seville.
Best of both worlds.
Yeah, well, you have the tango.
You have the flamenco.
Yes, but I have to say,
there is nothing quite like the tango.
It has a unique blend of deep melancholy
and sensuality, that's just unbeatable.
Yes.
Yes, I mean
Tango is the first smile on your face
after crossing a sea of tears.
There you go,
that's exactly what I mean.
Come with me. Sorry.
Gold
Always believe in your soul
You're indestructible
Always believing
You are gold
I'll take you Le Bilboquet next week!
Dear, that's like my second home.
Snob.
So, this guy, he bursts into my office
and starts yelling at me,
stuff like, ‟when will it ever end?”
or, ‟will it ever be enough?”
I just look at him and I go like,
"It's not a question of enough, pal."
I mean, it's a zero sum game,
you know somebody wins, somebody loses.
Money itself isn't lost or made,
it's transferred from one perception
to another, it's like magic.
For example, this painting I bought
ten years ago, for 60,000 dollars,
today I could sell it for 600.
The illusion just became real
and the more real it becomes,
the more desperately they want it.
-To me, that is
-Capitalism at its finest.
Gordon Gekko, Wall Street,
I've seen it at least five times.
It's a great movie, right?
It is. So, the painting,
I sold it to the MoMA.
No one is available to take your call.
Please leave a message.
Máx, it's Tris.
What's up? Why don't you call me back?
I don't know what I did wrong,
but this will be the last time
I'll leave a message.
Call me, I'm worried about you.
Dolores, stop all of that.
No, why can't I ask you any questions?
Questions?
You accuse me and talk about things
that you know nothing about, Dolores.
I'm not making it up,
it's written in the report.
Get out of my house!
No.
How I miss the time
when you could smoke on flights.
I just open the cockpit window.
What are you thinking about?
My sister.
Her exhibition about the Videla regime.
I went to see it back then but
it was too much.
I never argued with my father.
She did.
She confronted him.
Dared to ask questions.
I didn't.
Such a coward.
You are not a coward.
Have you ever just asked him,
whether he knew about it?
Why not?
What's the worst thing
that could happen?
Hi, Tris.
Ah hi.
Hi.
Any plans for tonight?
Cynthia was not available?
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I already have plans.
Would this weekend be better?
Yes, maybe. I don't know.
We'll talk later, okay?
Okay. Tris
-Where to, miss?
-To the Hamptons.
This is Valeria Delger.
Not available at the moment.
Please leave a
Hi, it's Samantha.
I'm not available at this moment,
please leave your message.
This is the mobile phone of Tiziano,
leave a message after the beep.
Hello?
Hey, Máx. Tiziano here. You called me?
Yes.
Yeah, I just
I thought of you,
wondering how you're doing.
Good, good.
Busy.
It's been a long time, Máx.
Yes, I know.
I know, you called me often.
I'm sorry. I
Forgive me, life goes by fast here.
Right, so tell me.
Is it like you expected, Wall Street?
Did you catch a millionaire banker yet?
Or do you miss Buenos Aires over there?
New York is fantastic, really.
I'm doing very well at work,
the parties are great.
But tell me about you.
How are you?
That man looks at me and says,
"This is New York, get over it."
This is how things work here.
Arm yourself against the hard mentality
if you want to get somewhere here.
Obviously everyone says
that money is the most important
in New York, the economy,
to get somewhere
and to become someone, but
I think the best thing
about New York are the people.
How they interact with each other,
the way they connect.
The group, the humanity.
But?
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-Would you like a mate?
-Okay.
Thanks for yesterday.
I had a good time.
I was thinking
Why don't you come
to Buenos Aires with me?
We could travel.
We could go to Italy.
Argentina, a vacation in Bariloche.
I missed you.
I have the impression
that you miss Argentina too.
No.
I don't miss Argentina.
I want to stay here.
I loved that you visited.
I had a great time with you, really.
-Are you kidding me?
-What?
Are you kidding me?
I came from Buenos Aires for you.
-I loved that you visited.
-You called me.
It was you who called me!
So I've traveled
8,500 kilometers just to fuck?
You know what's wrong with you?
The thing with you is
that nothing is ever
good enough for you.
Not even love.
-Hello?
-Tris, it's me.
Can I come in?
Hey.
Hey.
I don't know if you had plans,
but I cooked pasta pesto.
And I brought a
I'm sorry that I put you aside.
I don't know what it was.
I guess I just stuck
my head in the sand.
I'm sorry.
Zorreguieta has cooked.
I'll have to call the press.
Mark is his name?
Yes.
Does he take good care of you?
Does he know
that he has gold in his hands?
-I hope so.
-He better.
Yes.
I'm very happy for you.
What about you?
-Hey.
-I don't know, Tris.
Sometimes I feel
like I'll be alone forever.
Máx, no.
You know what?
Let's find that out right now.
Are we seriously doing this?
Yes, we are seriously doing this.
You have to think of a question
or ask for advice from the cards.
I am going to shuffle them.
When you get a good feeling,
like it's the right moment,
you have to say "stop."
-When I get a good feeling?
-Yes.
-Are you shuffling them?
-Yes, focus.
-I have a good feeling now.
-Are you sure?
Yes, yes.
-The Empress.
-Is that good?
The empress as the first card.
Interesting.
The wheel of fortune.
The world.
The lovers.
Something is going to happen
in your life, Máx.
Something that will change everything,
something unexpected.
I believe that the cards are saying
that you'll meet someone special.
And you'll sign a contract
with this person.
That was it.
You'll meet your prince.
Zorreguieta!
Hi!
-Hi!
-What are you doing here?
It doesn't matter.
Listen to me, I have two questions.
Why aren't you answering my calls?
Second question.
Where have you been?
You're missing out, baby.
I am a little busy.
Right, but we're all busy.
Listen, I'm taking you to a party.
I'm done with parties at this moment.
-You don't want to miss this.
-I'm serious.
I'm serious as well.
I didn't even say where we're going.
We're going
to Spain.
-No.
-To Seville, yes. La Feria de Abril.
Philippe and Ana have a huge house
where we can stay, it'll be fun!
I have to go to London for work,
I can't come to Seville.
Even better!
Then you can take a flight from there.
Listen, really,
there will be a lot of interesting men.
And
even a prince.
I told you, I've sparked your interest.
Call me.
I don't want to hear anything, call me.
Bye.
I'm sorry.
So they were being placed to sit
next to each other at this big table
full of important people.
And then, right before
they were being served shellfish,
they get these bowls on the table
with water and lemon,
to rinse their fingers.
But the Prime Minister of Japan
decides that he should drink it.
So, my grandmother sees the reactions
on the faces of the other guests,
and you know what she does?
She gets her own bowl,
and she downs the whole thing
in one go without hesitation.
What?
She was a woman who didn't really care
a lot about protocols,
she always used to walk
alongside the red carpet,
but the red carpet
always had to be there.
And your mother?
She can be pretty formal.
A little bit too much sometimes,
but I think she would've done
the same in this case,
she's a very sweet person.
I won't keep you in the dark anymore.
I know.
Hello, beautiful.
Hey.
Did you sleep?
-You?
-A little.
Sweet.
A part of your integration.
The ice is thick enough, and
we have a couple more hours
before we have to leave, so
Now?
Nothing's more Dutch than ice skating.
You'll have to learn anyway.
So, why not now?
No, I
I'm exhausted and your country
doesn't even want me, so
-Okay.
-Your Prime Minister, he
Screw him.
Screw van der Stoel,
screw everyone, screw my country.
I don't care about them,
all I care about is you and me.
Trust me, you want this.
