Nails (2025) s01e08 Episode Script

1
What's this?
I wanted to make you breakfast
today.
Oh no!
You're going to tell me something
bad.
I was so happy when I came back
from the mission.
Lina, I'm not happy.
We're off to a good start.
What's wrong?
I know what I'm about to say is
really ridiculous, but
I don't like this housewife side
of you at all.
I've tried to accept it, I swear.
But when I look at you, you're not
the the woman I fell in love with.
Look, I was right, I embarrass you.
Really?
I'm opening my heart to you.
and all you're thinking about
is winning?
You just dropped a bomb on me.
Don't expect me to shower you
with kisses.
So what do I do? Shut up
and pretend everything's great?
Well, we have a problem.
because I'm happier than ever.
But why?
I don't understand.
You're all day long
making food with that damn robot.
You're looking at just the surface.
Since I made my decision
I haven't had any anxiety.
And I've managed to have
something that nobody else does:
time.
And time is the only thing
that's worth anything in this life.
Everything else is just window
dressing.
Big houses, cars, clothes
they're worthless.
I mean, they're worth something.
Don't get me wrong,
we all like to live well.
But, of course, they're not
the most important thing.
Well, maybe I'm superficial,
but I'm not on the same wavelength.
So?
I got an apartment.
close to work.
Well, that was fast.
I need some time away from you
to figure out how I feel.
Well, that's just great, now
you're the one who needs time.
Something's broken, Lina.
We used to be a team.
and we were rowing
in the same direction.
But now the boat is sinking.
-Ah.
-And why is that?
Because you and I can't agree
on how to bail it out.
Ah.
Did you copy my sea metaphor?
Everything's contagious here.
But tell me one thing:
is what you see really that awful?
No. You can be whoever you want to
be, but when I look at you, I just
No, what?
You don't turn me on.
Wow.
That's tough, huh?
What you just said to me.
I'm sorry.
Honey, I love you,
but I can't go on like this.
It's not fair for either of us.
Well, if you're so sure,
there's no turning back, because
honey, this is me.
You don't know how sorry I am.
As always,
I'm not good enough for you.
No. Don't play the victim because
you were doing a great job.
When are you leaving?
I'll pick up my things
this afternoon.
How long have you been
thinking about this?
Because you've got it all
planned out.
Lina, it's best for everyone.
And you know
it much better than I do.
And Verónica?
I'll talk to her this afternoon.
Very well.
Well, then
From what I can see, breakfast
was to cushion the blow.
If I'd known I would've eaten
a sandwich at the gas station.
Mom, actually,
we got what we deserve.
We've gone too far
with the manipulation
and we really annoyed Marilís.
But you asked me to.
I know, I know.
I thought that by stressing her out
she'd come back to work with me.
But you're the one
who paid the price.
No problem, son.
I'd do anything for you.
-By the way, do you know where I am?
-Where?
At the nail salon
where Marilís goes.
Get out of there right now.
Imagine if she catches you.
Hey, what's the problem?
It's not hers.
And, by the way,
you don't know how tacky it is.
But I'm not surprised,
knowing your wife
Mom, I've learned two lessons
from this whole unpleasant situation
that I want to share with you.
One, lies can be
a solution for the present,
but they have no future.
Two, I now know
that you can't stand Marilís.
But, what are you saying, son?
-I adore her.
-Mom, didn't you hear me?
Lies have no future.
Oh, it's so nice to be in this house
without your Mom, isn't it?
No, no. I don't agree
with the price.
That room isn't worth it.
Goodbye.
Marilís, I'm worried
about my upcoming talk.
Almost no tickets have been sold.
Could it be that your P.A.
isn't doing her job with
-the advertising on social media?
-How about you do it for me?
Honey, you handle this
like no one else.
You should've told me that
when I was working with you,
you little bastard.
Yeah. I know I didn't appreciate you
enough, and I'm sorry.
Well, I'm sorry too, my love.
but I can't help you,
I don't have time.
Hey, I kicked my mother
out of the house for you,
the least you could do
is give me a hand.
Don't bribe me.
I'll help you.
But if the girl's no good,
fire her.
But you'd have to assure me
that you'll come back to work
with me.
Oh, no, my love. I can't.
I'm helping a lot of women
at the club.
So, you'd rather help
people you don't know at all
before your own family?
Thiago, I feel useful there.
Marilís, my love,
you can't run away from home.
because your plan to be a mother
24 hours a day didn't work out.
Besides, I'm sure
I've always been very lucky
because you're my lucky charm,
chamaca.
Without you, I'm completely lost.
Don't start, that doesn't work.
Okay, okay, okay.
You work with me part-time,
we'll hire a babysitter
and that way you can help
at The Free Women's Club.
It's the perfect plan
for everyone, isn't it?
But you pay me for the whole day.
You like to hit me where it hurts,
don't you?
I have to set limits
on my generosity.
if I want to continue growing.
Come on, man.
Pay me the full amount,
or I'm not going back.
Okay.
I'll draw up the contract.
Yes! Yes!
Here you go, Thiago!
You're the best!
-Are you skiing?
-No, no.
I was just stretching my legs.
They fell asleep.
-Hi.
-Vane, girl, sit down.
Are we going to talk about
the same thing again?
Sit down, I want to show you
something.
Hey, what's up, guys?
This video is to tell you
that everything I said about
my girlfriend is a lie.
Okay? Vane is a brave woman
who left her job
not to serve me, but because
she wasn't happy.
and wanted to find out
what the hell was wrong with her.
So, I betrayed her by making up
that story
and I've fed you all a load of lies.
I'm sorry.
Don't hate me.
See you later.
That's it
There you go. Canceled.
To hell with it all.
I'm broke again and
starting from scratch.
If that's not love
Thanks, Richi.
I just want everything to go back
to the way it was before
when we were the coolest couple
in the neighborhood.
Of course, my love.
List of accepted applications.
Degree: English Translation.
San Antonio de Padua,
let her be admitted.
-Hello.
-Hello!
-What were you doing?
-Uh
Looking for a magic scrubber
for the walls.
because the one I have doesn't
remove the stains anymore.
-And that's why you closed it?
-What do you want to eat?
Rosario made picadillo soup.
-And hake fillets.
-Don't change the subject.
You were on one of those dating
sites, weren't you?
Oh, that nervous laugh
I caught you.
Irene, I remind you
that you're still married to me
no matter how much you hate me.
I wasn't flirting with anyone,
Arturo.
And that mistrust hurts me,
I don't know why you feel that way.
Don't tell me that lately you've
been acting very normal with me.
-Likewise.
-Well, that's it.
You like someone else.
Come on.
If you've fallen in love
with someone,
I want to hear it from you.
-I haven't fallen in love.
-What is it? A foreigner, right?
-That's why you write him emails.
-What emails?
What are you talking about?
She applied to the English
Translation Department
and we were checking to see
if she had been accepted.
Don't tell him that!
Yeah, but you were
making me really nervous.
Of course, that's why you have
the English tapes.
Why are you making that face?
Maybe it would have been better
-if I'd told you I had a lover.
-Sorry.
Gud you like
fish or soap or both?
No soap or fish,
and cut out all the damn English!
Where are you going?
Aren't you gonna eat?
-Why is he acting like that?
-I don't know.
Of course, he always preferred
French.
Mais oui.
Do you speak French?
Xiaomi, I'm begging you,
take that sign away,
it's really tacky.
Besides, we don't charge for
helping.
The donations are voluntary.
My place, my sign.
I not take anything away.
Do whatever you want,
I'm in no mood for bullshit today.
I'm so sorry about Íñigo.
I know you're strong,
but, how are you?
I'm sad because I'm still in love.
-After all this time?
-Well, in love.
Well, it's not like I tremble every
time I see him.
But I liked my life with him.
He'll come back, don't worry.
Look, Richi backpedaled and
now he's happy again with me.
-And are you happy with him?
-Well, I'm not exactly thrilled.
I'll get over it. But, well,
it's just a question of time.
Well, let's get on with it.
Let's see, our first appointment
is
Carmen, 30 years old.
Ouch! I didn't have
any problems at that age.
What I had was a line of guys
wanting to bang me.
Bang?
Bang.
Fuck.
Ah.
But what does she tell you?
It's not just what she tells me.
It's just that I work
and she takes all the credit.
And she has my coworkers and me
locked in the office all day
and lets us go out to eat
when no one else is around
so we don't interact with anyone.
She's sick.
That's insecurity.
She's afraid someone will see you,
make you a better offer
and that's why she's hiding you.
And so people never know that
you're the brilliant ones.
And, you haven't thought
about leaving?
Yes, that's why I'm here.
I've wanted to leave for a long
time, but I'm afraid to tell her.
But afraid of what?
Two years ago
I hinted at leaving.
and she told me that I would never
work in our sector again.
because she would make sure
I couldn't.
Look, Carmen.
That woman is a fucking bitch.
But you're responsible
for putting up with that abuse.
If you don't get out of there,
you're going to get sick.
Do you hear me?
You're disrespecting yourself
by putting up with that psychopath.
And if you don't respect yourself,
life will throw more
and more shit at you,
until you react.
But what if she really sabotages me
and I don't get another job?
Look, no one, no matter how
powerful they think they are,
can beat talent and perseverance.
So, woman up and leave
that old woman.
Don't be afraid, okay?
Because life
never betrays the brave.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Marilís, you're fucking awesome,
girl. I almost cried.
That was beautiful.
Beautiful, yes.
But, do you speak Spanish?
Just a little.
Ha! You refuse to go, don't you?
you filth.
I took the essentials.
The essentials?
Who are you, Georgina?
You don't mind if I leave
a few things, do you?
No, of course not.
It's your house too.
Where are you going?
With Dad.
What do you mean,
with your Dad?
I told her I was going away
for a while
and she wants to come with me.
But I stopped working
among other things so we could
spend more time together.
Dad doesn't force me
to do anything.
Oh, that's why you're going
with him,
because she lets you be a selfish
spoiled little brat.
-Come on, it's not like that.
-Wait, let me get this straight.
You're leaving me because
I don't turn you on anymore.
and you because I make you
do things you don't like.
Really?
This is crazy.
Is this the family I've created?
Don't get angry.
I don't want us to part like this.
How could I not get angry?
My family is abandoning me
because I'm a bossy nag.
-Literally.
-Verónica, this isn't the time.
Well, go on, go.
Maybe what's wrong with you
is that you don't deserve
someone like me.
-Lina, please.
-No "please," no way.
Me, abandoning
a successful career
to devote myself to you.
and you reject me
as if I were a leper.
Come on, screw you!
Come on. Get going.
Both of you. I've given you
a very hard life.
Do you really want us to say
goodbye like this?
We'll talk later, Íñigo.
we'll talk later.
Temper, temper.
Literally.
Ouch.
Take that, bastard.
There you go.
What a game, a great game.
Ah, that's cool.
-Honey, did you make dinner?
-Just a second, sweetie.
I created a fake gamer profile
-to see if I can get popular again.
-You're kidding, right?
Didn't we agree
that we wanted everything
to be like before?
Yes, but not that you play
and I work,
but rather you stop telling lies
about me on social media
and get your act together
with a serious job.
I didn't mean it that way.
I thought we were
on the same page.
Are you kidding me?
No, I'm not.
Do you really think
we've been through all this
to go back to me working my ass off
and you doing nothing?
I didn't say
you should start working.
Then how are we going to pay
the rent?
I don't know.
We'll see.
-Don't stress yourself out.
-I'm not going back to work.
Helping out at the club
is what I want to do.
Life isn't free.
I don't want a crappy job either.
-It's your turn to work hard now.
-Me, why?
Because I've been supporting you
for five fucking years
and you don't realize it.
Vane, I canceled my business
for you.
What more do you want?
I shouldn't be so good
Arturo, where were you?
It's eleven o'clock at night.
-Out walking.
-At this hour?
Irene, are you leaving me?
Me? Why would you say that?
Everything, Irene. Everything.
All I'm trying to do is evolve.
-Do you think it's that bad?
-It scares me.
-Scared?
-I'm a postal worker.
I've been eating at the same place
on Sundays for 20 years.
And I speak French,
which is useless.
If you go to the university,
you'll fall in love
with someone better
and I'll die.
I'll die because I can't imagine
life without you.
All I want is to learn,
but with you by my side.
I have no intention of leaving you
for any other man.
-honey.
-Really?
Really, my love.
I love you.
We have an appointment
at the notary tomorrow
to sign the debt acknowledgment.
Start thinking about how you want me
to pay you back the money I owe you.
Oh, Arturo.
Irene
Irene!
Let's go to the bedroom.
Oh my God, if I'd known,
I would have paid you earlier.
Come on, let's go.
Oh!
Oh, my God.
Kids, stop!
Calmness brings inner strength
and self-confidence.
What's wrong with you?
You're not even moving?
Five minutes.
Five minutes, for what?
Antonella!
These are designer glasses.
If you don't behave yourselves,
I'll call the bogeyman.
The bogeyman!
The bogeyman!
-The bogeyman!
-Hello!
-Guada!
-Guada!
My children!
Let's play for a little while.
Come here.
Oh, poor things.
She had such a hard time,
she deserved to come back.
Of course, my love.
Now we'll be all right.
A beer?
I'll take it.
But, how could you do this to me?
I already fired the P.A.
My love, something magical happened
at the club today.
I inspired a girl to have courage
in life.
I'm sorry, but I can't work
with you anymore.
I have a gift and I have to make
the most of it.
But I told you you could stay
at the club
and work part-time with me.
The problem is that I'm going
to start giving
my own talks.
Ah, not only are you
leaving me hanging,
but now we're going to be
competitors.
Why would my lectures interfere
with yours?
Well, you tell me.
We'd both be doing the same thing:
motivate people for money.
But mine is only for women.
Besides, I'm not going
to charge them.
They'll pay what they can.
So you're price gouging too?
That's unfair competition.
Excuse me.
I want a raise.
-What?
-Yes.
The lady of the house fired me
in a very rude way.
And I left another house to be here.
The least you can do
is compensate me.
Okay, Guada.
You're right.
Yes, Guada.
But the raise will be paid
by the lady, who fired you.
Besides she's going to be
a businesswoman now.
You created this mess
Oh, ma'am,
what kind of company is it?
I don't know if I made a mistake
with all this, girls.
And on top of that, I dragged
you all into this.
Now we're all pissed off
at our families.
Oh, no!
Thiago is just fine.
He'll get over it in two days.
I'm better than ever with Arturo.
All thanks to you, Lina.
Don't feel guilty over me.
You opened my eyes with Richi.
The whole relationship
was based on fear
me thinking that I could lose
the man of my life
when he should've been scared
about losing me.
That jerk isn't even worth
the dirt on your shoes.
There's a line this morning,
I'll get it.
No!
There's still five minutes left.
Sure, Xiaomi. Wait,
we have to go over the schedule.
Mexican unpunctual.
I'm opening up!
Oh!
Are you the ones from
The Free Women's Club?
Good morning. Yes.
Is anyone a psychologist or coach
or something like that?
Uh No.
I thought so.
Excuse me, do you have
an appointment?
No, I don't have an appointment.
I'm Dolores' daughter,
you advised her to leave my father,
a man who has been depressed
for five years.
I remember your mother perfectly.
The thing is,
we didn't tell her that.
We gave her an objective opinion
I've come to warn you.
that if anything happens
to my father, I'll report you.
Hey, hey, hey.
Look, your mom is a grown woman
and responsible
for her decisions, right?
Maybe you think
you're helping women here,
but there are people
who are trained for that
and know what they're doing.
What you're doing is called
intrusion, and it's a crime.
Are you laughing, Qiong?
What the hell did your sister say?
My sister has wound.
Laughter hide pain from stabbing.
Too much Information, really.
Hello, Marilís.
What are you doing here, Úrsula?
She's my new P.A.
What?
Until I find someone else,
I've asked my mother to help me.
-Can we talk for a minute?
-Sure.
Don't worry.
I'll wait here.
making calls for Saturday's talk.
See how efficient she is?
But how could you even think
of hiring your mother?
This was her idea to annoy me,
wasn't it?
No, honey, I asked her.
And you can't complain now
because I remind you
that you were the one who
made me fire my P.A.
to abandon me
and compete with me.
-But I
-But nothing.
My mother is staying.
Besides, she's tax deductible
because she's over 50.
And this time
you're going to get along
because I don't want
any problems.
Understood?
Since everyone here does their
own thing I'm gonna do the same.
Oh
This guy is turning me on.
Right, right!
There, that's it! Very good!
Very good!
Uh! Uh! Uh!
Yes, sir.
Hit him with the
The dragon, there. There we go!
Great.
You guys are good.
Richi, I'm leaving.
But, are you coming for lunch?
No, honey, I'm leaving you.
What do you mean,
you're leaving me?
I'm leaving,
I made a mistake with you.
But I gave up success for you.
And I made dinner for you.
You can keep the apartment
if you want.
I'm going to stay with my mother
for now.
-But
-I'm sorry, Richi.
Damn!
I didn't see that coming.
-Thanks.
-Thanks.
This can't be.
Did someone put a hex on me?
Let's see

Irene Sánchez!
Oh, oh, oh! Here I am!
Congratulations!
San Antonio never fails.
My God, he never fails.
Irene, my love!
You can do anything
Oh, oh
So, what do we do?
Should we close or not?
Let's make up our minds
once and for all, please.
before she and I get drunk
because we've been here
for four hours,
wallowing in our misery.
Oh, how sad, my friends!
The club was really cool
and we helped a lot of people.
Yeah, but I just got a
complaint for reckless driving.
I don't need another one
for trespassing, Marilís.
I don't want any more trouble.
I've got enough to deal with
moving back in with my mother.
Why don't you come live with me?
There's plenty of room here.
We don't have to see each other
if we don't want to.
What a great idea.
That huge house
all to yourself is a waste.
What if your family comes back?
You can always go back
to your mother.
Great idea. I'll bring my things
tomorrow.
Great idea, great idea!
That's great for you, ladies,
but, what the hell?!
Are we closing or not?
Yes, I'm going to be studying soon
and I have to focus.
Come on, the decision's been made.
I don't want us to close.
It hurts me the most, Marilís,
because it was my idea
but things are getting ugly
and I have a divorce coming up.
Besides, we're a majority, comadre.
Well, now who the hell is going
to talk to the Chinese women?
Not me, I'm still reeling from
my breakup with Richi.
So, I'm stuck with it, right?
But, you can't quit the club.
The salon is doing better
than ever!
Xiaomi, they want to file
a complaint against us.
I talk to cousin, they drop charges.
Do you have a cousin
who's an inspector?
No, my cousin isn't an inspector.
Don't ask, Irene.
Oh, I think it's very sad too,
ladies.
What we were doing here
was so great
A leopard can't change its spots.
What century is that expression
from?
I can get a counselling license
for the place.
Xiaomi, please, don't insist.
It hurts me enough as it is.
Women need you.
You selfish.
Not enough sisterhood.
Come on, Xiaomi. I didn't know
you were a feminist.
She just wants the money.
She'd be losing this sweet deal
and she's furious.
On Instagram lots
of women are asking us not to close.
I don't bother with social media,
I have enough to deal
with in real life.
I don't want to be
in parallel worlds.
Totally. Social media
is the cancer of the soul.
Just look what happened to me.
So, is that it?
Yes, comadre, it is.
Who is that?
Alicia Iturriaga, the heiress
to one of the world's largest
fortunes.
Oh, I have to read more magazines.
A rich heiress?
I'll get the door.
Good morning.
Welcome to Xiaomi and Qiong's
Nail Salon.
How can I help you?
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
I've come to tell you that
you can't close now.
We need you more than ever.
I see. But it's just that
Dreaming isn't free.
This is just an advance.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
Open it, comadre!
Hot damn!
Should I get a consulting license?
Get it.
