The Club (2019) s01e01 Episode Script

MDMA and Bad Ideas

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES What do millennials want? Dynamic work environments? MILLENNIALS? PAYS WELL! Apparently, there's research to suggest millennials don't buy diamonds, they'll never own their own homes, and their relationships don't last.
And so, as a business, how are we going to connect with this lost generation? I'm the target.
I think we should include a house, a diamond, a pouf, lithium, and a stable relationship in every box of cereal.
Is that what you want? No.
What do you want? The card, Pablo, is for emergencies, not champagne! It was an emergency, Dad.
Our suppliers didn't deliver.
Can you please explain why I'm paying for some damn party? It's the launch of Meet.
The party's critical.
It's a dating app.
It's so that customers can see the type of people they'll meet with our app.
Our launch has to be top-notch.
You'll see, it'll be viable.
You said the same thing about the food truck and the mezcal idea.
Frankly, I'm sick of financing your failed businesses.
- This won't fail.
- That's what you think.
How many dating apps are there? Eight hundred and six.
But this is different, our algorithm is unique.
It's designed specifically for this target market.
It's exclusive.
If this doesn't work out, that's it.
You'll work in the office.
Why is it your 18-year-old brother knows what he wants to do, and you don’t? I don't know how to answer that.
This is the last crazy scheme I'm ever going to support.
If this doesn't work, that's the end of it.
It's the last time.
What are you doing? - Ready for your big night, Cinderella? - Yeah.
This is a big deal, right? All that screwing around with Pablo is exhausting.
This isn't screwing around.
- I'm just teasing.
- Yeah.
Keep working, we'll see you at your great business launch, okay? This is all thanks to Pablo.
No, actually, it's all thanks to Pablo's father.
We'll only advertise on exclusive platforms, sites that are popular with our targeted segment, but that to others may seem aspirational.
What kind of growth do you anticipate in your first year? Twenty-three percent.
We expect revenues in the range of two million to five million pesos.
To be very honest, I think that's way too ambitious, my friend.
I don't understand.
Doesn't it seem dangerous - to make such a bold prediction? - Yes.
But I don't have a choice.
Let's just hope I'm right.
If things don't work out as planned, this will be an epic fail.
What's your plan? This has to work, failure is not an option.
What if our first year doesn't go so well? All our investors are connected to either my father or Matías' father.
If this doesn't work out I'll die.
It won't be the end of the world.
You can always do something else.
Really, like what? How much longer do we have to do this? If you don't like it, you can finish preparing the appetizers in the kitchen.
No, I'm quite happy here, stamping condoms.
How are you, sweetie? I'm well, Auntie, thanks.
Thanks very much for getting me this job.
It's nothing.
You know I always try and help you whenever I can.
I wanted to tell you, they're looking for maintenance help at the club.
It's not much, but extra money coming in is always helpful.
It's not necessary.
Listen, your mother will never admit this to anyone, but she feels bad.
She won't be going back to work any time soon.
You shouldn't turn down any opportunity to make money.
Auntie, it's not necessary.
She's been my sister long before becoming your mother.
I won't let anything bad happen to her.
I can't give her much money or be there for all her chemotherapy sessions, but I can try and knock some sense into you.
- I'll think about it.
- No, you start tomorrow at eight a.
m.
No, you're late, and we're still missing things.
Pablo, I wanted to introduce you to my nephew.
Nice to meet you, man.
Are the models here yet? - They're getting changed.
- And the doorman? Let me check.
Go up and get changed! Thanks, Mary, you're the best! If there's anything you need.
Listen, man, either they get here now WHAT DO MILLENNIALS WANT? - Hello, - I'm picking you up in 20 minutes, and we're going to a party.
I'm still working.
You're turning into your mother.
This is Pablo's party.
Why would we ever go to that? Because we're 23 years old, and that's what people our age do.
- That's a beautiful ring.
- He gave it to me yesterday.
Congratulations.
Thank you, I'm very happy.
That's nice.
Hey! The gates are up, and people are waiting outside.
Just in time.
Are there a lot of people? Yes, quite a few.
I needed instructions to tie this knot.
Does it look okay? It's perfect.
Remember, Mati, every conversation we have today, is an opportunity to bring in a new subscriber.
Right.
This has to go well.
This is our winning ticket.
Yeah, I know.
- I'll be right down.
- Okay.
Is everything ready for the presentation? Yes.
You're the best, you're badass, and don't you ever forget it.
It all comes down to hard work, not talent.
You're going to shut your father up.
I don't want to go, because Pablo gets on my nerves.
I'll never make money.
I don't want to get married.
I'll never buy a house or diamonds.
You're depressed, and now you're depressing me.
It's not cool.
I don't want anything others want for me.
Can I tell you something to cheer you up? Go ahead.
What? Hi, I'm Matías.
Are you the audiovisual guy? I'm Jonás.
Yeah, I guess so.
Do you have a microphone so that I can test the system? I didn't bring a microphone.
What? It wasn't on the list, see for yourself.
Don't you have one around somewhere you could get? I may have an extra one in my truck, let me check.
Really? You'd do that for me? - It's nothing, don't worry.
- Thank you.
Santi, I'm sorry I missed you.
I wanted to say goodbye.
I was in therapy, Mom.
Right, that's fine.
Did you follow up with the school? - Yes.
- And? They told me to wait for their letter, they couldn't tell me over the phone.
Okay.
Well, if you need anything, just ask María or Pablo.
Please keep a close eye on your mailbox.
Bye.
Stupid assholes.
Enjoy your party, okay? You've worked so hard.
I'll be upstairs if you need anything.
Thanks for everything, Mary.
- Are you really going to get married? - Yes.
- With Bernardo? - Yes.
Why? This is no time for a philosophical debate, let's just go to the party.
But I hate Pablo.
No, you don't, it's quite the opposite I don't hate him, but I don't like him or what he represents.
He's everything I don't want.
He's too ambitious and as lazy as Paris Hilton.
With a body like yours? You look like Kim Kardashian.
Did you dress like that because you hate him? - Don't remind me, that was a mistake.
- Whatever Listen, I know.
You go, and you can tell me all about it tomorrow.
No.
Until I get married, we're going to do things together.
It's the end of an era, don't you get it? We'll still see each other.
But it'll be different.
I'll spend my days playing house and weekends playing Scrabble with Bernardo's parents.
So just fucking get over yourself and get ready to have fun.
Hi, how are you? Don't you look lovely.
Hi, excuse me.
Thanks.
Hi, baby! - How are you? - Good.
Listen, I'm in a bit of a Tell me later, okay? - Hey, there.
- You two look beautiful.
- How are you? - Come in.
Don't forget to download Meet.
You got one! It was the only one I could find.
That's great.
No, it's fine.
But there must be an extra cost, no? Well, I guess so.
Hey! Look at you, all spiffy.
- Thanks.
- How are you? What a nice party, brother.
You know me, I always do things right.
Yes, I can see that.
Hey, don't forget to download Meet.
So what is Meet, anyway? Ricky, come on, look at her and tell me she's not invited.
Sure, but if you're not on the list, you can't come in.
I know, you told me a thousand times, but just look at her Pabi! Pabi, it's me, Ana Pau.
I know you must be super-stressed right now, but you forgot to put Sofía's name on the guest list.
- Sof.
- Hi.
Shit, this is a big production.
I need to move up the presentation.
Go on, then.
- Pablo.
- What? Can you let go of my hand? Sorry, Sof.
We need to start the presentation earlier.
- Now? - Yes, right now, damn it! Before people start to leave.
This has to be perfect.
Okay So It's such a boring party, don't you think? I'm sure it'll get better.
I don't think so, people are leaving.
What are you going to do? Stay here.
What's your name? - Santiago.
- I'm Pamela.
I remember you from elementary school, you used to wear your hair in ponytails.
Which Santiago are you? Kuri? Leal? None of the above, but don't worry.
I'm not very memorable.
I don't think that's true.
Sorry, I hate it when people touch my hair.
Thank you all for joining us on this very special night.
Meet is an exclusive app that will revolutionize online dating forever.
I'll hand it over to my partner, Matías Castillo.
Well, as Pa As Pablo said, Meet has an algorithm specifically designed to To help people like you interact.
The questionnaire is an essential part of the selection process within our online community.
It's important for you to have 2,000 followers, two email addresses as confirmation, and you have to fill out the questionnaire.
This will impact online dating as we know it.
It's revolutionary, and it represents a dramatic shift We have to do something.
I feel bad for Matías, but there's nothing we can do.
I'm more interested in the guy with the big muscles.
He's so chadalicious! On the next slide describing interaction, Meet has Well, it enables you to talk to as many people as you like.
Maybe a thousand or a million people.
Oh, no.
This is what bulimia looks like, right? Oh, no.
I'm sorry, man.
No, please, don't go.
Oh, shit.
Damn it.
I was really bad, wasn't I? God, I want to die! You know, I never do anything right.
My mom says all I need is a little more self-confidence.
That's a possibility.
But the real reason is I'm such a loser.
This is all shit.
- It's Matías, right? - Yes.
Look, Matías.
I'm going to give you a little gift, just between us.
- Yes, Pablo.
- Is everything ready? It's going to be fine, I promise, thanks.
- Sweetie.
- Yes.
- We're all going to Sense.
- "We"? Who? Don't get upset.
Don't take this the wrong way, but this party's boring.
This is my launch.
It's been months of hard work.
Come on, Pablo, you'll find another hobby! A "hobby"? This is not a hobby, Gigi, it's my life.
Don't exaggerate, my love.
Pablo, what a guy.
He's just focused on his inheritance.
Wow! Your performance was stellar.
Aren't you in shock over making such a fool of yourself? You know what? - What? - You two always give me a lot of shit.
- Really? - As if you're lacking love in your life.
- Yeah, right.
- Don't touch my hair.
Hey! Asshole! - If you mess up my hair - You're so insecure, you mess with other people for entertainment.
But you know what? You're dressed in blue.
And you, Nico, you're wearing a dark suit.
But you'd never know it, because you're both cut from the same cloth.
I think you have the wrong impression.
Listen, why don't we dance? - No, I don't think so.
- Let's dance! Sof, play some reggaeton! Reggaeton, right Such a jerk.
Let's get out of here before this gets worse.
Yeah, let's go.
Sof, what's going on with Matías? I don't understand.
A few minutes ago, he was acting normal, and now it's like he's On drugs.
Mati, calm down.
I'll stay still like a tree.
What did you take? It was magic powder, to recover my self-confidence.
You have beautiful eyes, Pablo.
You're sad, but everything will be fine.
And you, you're so beautiful, Sofía.
Both of you are so good-looking, and you're so soft.
Is it me, or is the wall so beautiful right now? Did you inhale that magic powder? The guy who gave it to me put it here, in my mouth.
How are you feeling? Well, I feel happy, warm I want to kiss you both.
I feel like dancing, like licking the wall, and my heart's beating really fast.
Who gave it to you? - Jonás.
- Jonás? Yeah, an angel wearing a muscle shirt.
You mean Chadalicious? Yeah, that guy.
- Who is it? - The audio guy.
Damn.
You just saved my party.
What am I saying? Not my party my life.
What are you going to do? I'm going to save this party.
This isn't going to end well.
I know you.
Tomorrow, no one will remember Matías.
The only thing they'll remember is the epic Meet party.
I'm not going to help you drug people.
Sof! I know I'm not your most favorite person in the world.
Stop it, Pablo.
I need you to help me.
I can't do this without you.
I'm not going to jail to save an app.
It's not an app.
It's my life.
- It's my last opportunity.
- I promise you, that's not true.
It may seem like the end of the world now, but you have nothing to prove.
I have a lot to prove, Sofía.
It's easy enough for you to say, isn't it? You're successful.
You have it all figured out.
What will happen if people find out you were selling drugs at your party? It's all the same to me.
I don't care.
People won't be talking about drugs.
They'll be talking about Meet.
Listen, you, María's nephew.
Let's go.
Why? The party's just coming back to life.
Because I've had enough.
Goodbye forever, Chadalicious! I'm sure you'll see him again.
I hope so.
I don't want any trouble, my aunt Trouble? No, not at all.
I just want to know what you gave Matías.
- I gave him a hit of Ecstasy.
- I want some.
No, man.
I want it all.
I mean, for the party.
How many do I need? I don't know, 100? Yes, 100 is good.
- Fine.
- But that's a lot of money.
Will you accept dollars? Can you call me? I can't find my cell phone.
Remix! Can we stop? Don't worry, it was an old phone anyway.
Sweetie, what are you doing? We'll just ask someone to mail it to you.
No, just let me go.
Should we go? Okay, yeah, let's go, then.
I came to get my cell phone.
Did you come for your cell phone or to make history? Where do you get those ridiculous lines? I brought you some more, Mati.
Listen, can I kiss you? It's just that, I've never done this before.
Seriously, Mati, what is up with you? I'm just feeling really good, and honestly, I want to remember this moment.
Wow, Mati.
How did you do that? Matías, right? That's a surprise.
I know, but it's a crazy night, anything can happen.
If you download Meet, you can experience a lot of other nights like this Okay.
Courtesy of Meet.
The only app that leads to wild nights and sweet moments.
Holy shit.
We have to celebrate.
This seemed way too easy.
Giving everyone something they want to make them feel good isn't hard, right? Imagine if we were selling it.
With your marketing skills and my business background, and Matías as Matías, chadalicious provider We'd be millionaires.
We'd make a lot of money with little effort.
At least put your feet in.
It's gross.
What are you talking about? This is epic.
Why not? It's just one night.
Earlier, you said I knew exactly what I wanted.
That's not true.
I never do what I want.
I'm just the means to an end, to fulfill my parents' dreams.
And what do you want to do now? - No, Matías.
- No! Don't be ridiculous! I interrupted something, right? - No.
- No.
