Diary of a Gigolo (2022): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

A NETFLIX SERIES

EMANUEL, ANSWER ME

ANSWER WHEN YOU READ MY MESSAGES

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

It's too bad that you're getting here
as I'm leaving.

They're waiting for me. I have to go.

Sweet dreams.

Don't worry.

I understand how you feel,

but it would help us a lot
if you told us more about your mother.

What can I say? My mom...



was a person who lived in her own world.

Behind the facade of a strong woman,

she was actually very fragile.

She was the first to hurt herself.

Do you know
who could have wanted to hurt her?

What's wrong?

Can we make peace?

Or you can choke me,

and I'll die here.

It's not that I want
to avoid my responsibilities, but...

things with your mom aren't going well.

I don't want to hear the details.

I love you a lot.

And your mom loves you too.



Only we know what we went through
after Lorenzo died.

That's why I like it
when you go to the lab,

when you care about what's yours.

I don't care about the lab.

I'm only doing it for a school project.

That's okay.

Whatever it is, you can count on me.

To burn your paintings,
to burn down the house...

Just don't burn down my car.

Anything else...

I'll leave you to it. Keep at it.

Julia, where are you?

I'm at Lino's party.
Don't leave me alone, come on.

When a spinning top starts moving,
it never stops.

Just like you,
since you showed up at school.

We're all wondering where you came from.

A stork brought me from Paris.

I don't believe that.

In love and art, there are many impostors.

I prefer mystery.

Let's keep the mystery then.

That young man...

I'm amazed by our encounters.

He's different from the others.

Sorry, I haven't had time to eat.

- Ana.
- You can't deny me a single glass.

Ana, relapses are worse,

and you've worked hard to get better.
Don't throw that away, please.

If you put yourself

in my shoes for a minute,
you'd understand.

I have issues with Julia, with Víctor.

- And now with Emanuel.
- Emanuel is causing an issue?

He asked to stop seeing me

while he chases Julia.

Okay.

You gave Julia a push,

which, by the way,
she won't thank you for.

It's time to break the agreement
with Emanuel.

Before everything spirals out of control.

Am I dreaming, or is that really you?

Are you seriously at my party?

And you too, my friend. Aw.

I owe you one.

Why don't you go get something to drink

for this princess and this prince?

Do you also feel that synergy?

I knew that Emanuel and you...

That's why I left the project,
and I love that you're doing it together.

What you told me about the lab was crazy.

That universe.

- You're still going to work on that, no?
- I have a few ideas.

Probably photos. I don't know yet.

I want to be your assistant.

- I don't need one.
- Please, I'll do anything.

Seriously. I'll carry your camera,
help with the lights, your bag.

- Please don't leave me out.
- Okay.

Thank you. You're the best.

Don't ever hide.

Hello, mysterious.

Julia!

- I swear it didn't mean anything.
- I don't care.

Julia, listen to me.

Why are you here? I'm only here for you.

Julia, we're different,
but we're also very alike.

We both think the exterior world
cannot hurt us,

but sometimes things happen
that are out of our control.

I swear, I'll never fail you.

I've always admired
your passion for drawing.

Who is that?

No one in particular.

Looks like the guy
who brought you home the other day.

You had never brought anyone home.

Would you like to tell me about him?

Maybe I can give you advice.

We didn't have enough time
to understand each other.

How was she found?

Apparently, a neighbor heard
an argument and called the police.

When they got to the place,
she was dead.

Her body

was naked

and had signs of violence.

The first forensic reports

determined that
she was hit with a blunt object that...

surely was what caused her demise.

The murder weapon wasn't found,

but chances are that the murderer
took it away to hide it

or to get rid of it.

I can't believe it.

Do you understand that since
your mother's body

was at Emanuel Morillo's house,

that makes him the primary suspect?

It was a good interview,

but the group of victims
had the last word.

Alleged victims.

That's why I don't like the idea
of them coming here.

We give them too much importance
and a reason to continue lying.

By receiving them, we neutralize them

and show them that we are transparent
as a company.

Rejecting a dialogue gives them the chance

to cement their role as victims. Look.

This young man, Gabriel Molina.

He's passionate, smart.

Very charismatic, but barely 25 years old.

It can't be that hard to neutralize him,
to calm him down.

This is Silvia, the new secretary.

As you can see, Leticia

left.

- Yes, I think it's beautiful.
- Yes.

Peonies. For more success.

How handsome. How nice.

It's too bad they will wither tomorrow.

What about me?

- No flowers or anything?
- Tomás.

What's going on with the music?

You went to my place again last night
and went through it.

You look so handsome today.

I've let it go once, twice,

but it's becoming a pattern, Flor.

So what?

What's wrong?
Why does that make you nervous?

Unless you're hiding something.

No secrets between you and I, right?

You have my house keys,

but I have a right to privacy.

Okay.

What you're hiding must be very important
for you to talk to me like that.

It's not the first time.

Hey.

Why are you looking at each other
like that? Like two gunmen

about to shoot at each other.

What's wrong? Why are you fighting?

Nothing, we're not fighting.

I was just telling Emanuel that he seems
a bit distracted from work lately.

Don't listen to her.
She wants to annoy me.

- You're not 15 anymore.
- Hi, sweetie.

- Is this new?
- Brand new.

They didn't have your size?

How many times have I said

that I don't like it when you receive
payment outside of our agreement?

No, boss. It's not payment, it's a gift.

It's payment, it's the same thing!

What do you want me to do? Give it back?

You haven't learned, Abel.
You can't give it back, that's worse.

You have to keep it,
and it's the last time

you accept something like that.

Okay.

FREE ACCESS

What's the plan? Are we going to the lab
to see how they make the drug?

Can we try it?

I got you in here,
I can get you out of here.

SEROLIXINE

Ana. Ana, Ana, give me that.

Here's some water.

Can you tell me why you're drinking again?
What's wrong?

We're not at group.

I don't want to talk about group.
No one knows about it here,

but let me remind you of our mantra,

"Don't throw away
what you've already achieved."

Don't throw away
what you've already achieved, Ana.

- How are you?
- Emanuel.

I was thinking about you just now.

I think Ana would benefit
from talking to you.

- Sure.
- Mm-hmm.

Don't worry, Minou.
When you know the trick,

even the best magician
can't hypnotize you anymore.

Besides, I'd rather be with someone new.

I'm tired of the same.

- Would you excuse us?
- Of course.

Thank you. Please.

- Let go of me.
- Can you calm down?

- Let go!
- Calm down. You're making a show.

A show?
And now you're talking to me, right?

I called you a thousand times
and you never answered.

- Shh. Ana, please.
- Please what?

I was busy doing what you asked me to do.

What I asked?
I asked you to get closer to my daughter.

- And I can ask you to stop.
- Relax, please.

I am your boss, and I pay you.

Various topics. Whatever you prefer.

Thank you, Minou.

I love you, sister.

- My twin. Welcome.
- My beloved twin.

Enjoy, honey.

This is what you call art?
What a piece of...

Let's go to my office.

- Come on.
- Do they paint with their teeth?

Yes, yes, yes.

Your artists
don't have hands, Minou.

You're such an asshole.

- Get comfortable.
- Thank you.

- Champagne?
- Why not?

You came to my business.
I won't forgive that, you son of a bitch.

Put that down,
you're going to hurt yourself.

For my home, for my clients,
for my business,

I'm capable of anything.

Oh.

Ana, you have to trust me.

I'm doing what you wanted me to do.

What I wanted?
How do you know what I want?

Can we speak in private?
People are looking.

Why do I care if they look, huh?

- You don't care if your daughter knows?
- Hi, Ana!

How are you? Everything okay?

How do I look, hmm?

You look amazing, don't you think?

Yes, she was just telling me
that she loves Iturri's work.

Hmm! You have good taste.
I curated this myself.

His posthumous work.

Yeah, the price is a bit higher
than usual at the gallery.

- But look at this. It's worth it.
- Don't worry about the price.

If I like something, I buy it.

The champagne exploded in the freezer.

Your head is going to explode.

Get out, you piece of trash.

I'm taking this as collateral
until you pay me, okay?

And when I bring you the money,

that will be the last time you see me.

I don't know why, but I feel
our relationship is like a waltz.

It repeats over and over.

Get out of here, you idiot.

Get out!

Extra brut.

This is a compilation of many studies
that prove that Serolixine is dangerous.

No one has taken this
more seriously than we have.

For decades,
we've been at the service of health

in this lab, Gabriel.

Why would we want to hurt people?

Why? This is a summary of the lab's
sales revenue from Serolixine.

- It shows a million reasons.
- Please be respectful, we're...

Padilla, Padilla, Padilla. Wait. Wait.

On top of that, there are
all of the patients that depend on it.

That's the problem exactly, dependence.

I saw it with my brother.

He took it for the first time because of
a prescription and got addicted.

We know about your brother,
and your friends,

and we really feel for them.

We want to help. Truly.

We can pay all the hospital charges.

- Everything.
- You want to pay me off.

- That's what you're offering.
- No! No!

- That's what you're saying.
- Wait.

That's not what we want.
That's not justice.

- I'm leaving! Don't touch me!
- Exit is that way.

Yes, the exit is that way. Sure.

Let go of me! Your salary
is paid with this addictive trash. Let...

Hey! Don't take pictures of me!
I'm leaving!

What was that?

I don't know.

I almost forgot, here's your bag.

Thank you.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Emanuel, a moment, please.

- Of course.
- Excuse us.

Will you excuse me?

A client complained about you.

- What?
- A client complained about you.

- First time?
- Mm-hmm.

Ana Miró Sanz.

She wants to replace you.

That's okay, she can do that.

- I don't think it's a problem...
- Don't lie!

Want me to tell you how many times
I've seen you fight with Florencia?

I call you and you don't answer,

then you show up mysteriously hours later.

Clearly something is going on.
What is it?

If it's that clear, why do you ask?

My mother used to say,

"I hope you fall in love..."

when she wanted to curse someone.

Let go of me!

Emanuel.

You have to think of your future,

because love is incompatible
with your profession.

If you want to continue having
this luxurious lifestyle you love,

you can't be a simple man.

Maybe I would have liked
being a simple man.

Having a family, a home, a wife.

You're right.

You know what?
You're right, and I mean it.

- Oh yeah?
- Uh-huh.

You should work hard to pay the mortgage

and then get various jobs
since you don't know how to work,

work hard to make it through the month,

pay all your debts,
and have a lot of money,

so when your unsatisfied wife
comes to find me,

I can find her a companion.

Yes, you're right.

INCOMING CALL

There's a saying in our profession.

"We sell pleasure,

but there's no pleasure for us."

Go ahead, answer.

Thank you.

Julia, what's up?

Calm down. Calm down. What's wrong?

Okay, I'm on my way.

They took my camera.

It was fast. I didn't know what to do.

Don't worry, it's not your fault.

Those things happen, unfortunately.

Thanks for coming.

Emanuel?

What a surprise!

Hi. I'm Florencia.

- This is Julia.
- Julia.

Florencia is...

- my neighbor.
- Yes.

- We live next to each other.
- Yes!

And you, Julia?

What do you do?

She's an artist, a great one.

Who knew.

My mom has an art gallery,
why not take her?

Another time.

I'm sure it will happen. We were leaving.

- Oh really.
- Yes, really.

Yes.

See you.

Of course.

I'll take care of it.

Come in.

How are you?

Take a seat.

That's your chair.

Here's some water.

What was your relationship
with the victim?

She was a client.

Can you be more specific, please?

She used to shop in our gallery.

Paintings, sculptures.

She bought a lot of art.

Let's be clear.

We know the type of service
your mother's gallery

- used to give.
- It's clear.

I think we have different definitions
for the word "services."

You're saying it in a pejorative way.

We sold beauty.

Pleasure.

Art.

Being serious here,
was Emanuel Morillo the only service

Ana hired?

For a while, yes.

No one but him.

But...

Ana had other needs

and that's where the problems started.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Come in.

Right on time, I like it.

As it should be, right?

It's not every day that you realize
you can do better than Emanuel.

We'll see about that.

Whenever you want.

I like your apartment.

It has its charm.

This is where you met with Emanuel?

Why do you always mention Emanuel?

It's as if you're competing with him.

I'd say you're obsessed with him.

No, it's Minou.

She sells him like he's the best,

and doesn't let the rest shine.

Easy.

I don't even know
why I called you of all people.

I felt bad,

and I only thought of talking to you.

I guess you knew I'd leave it all
to come help you.

Yeah, but it's weird.

I didn't know you a week ago.

That's how real connections work.

You don't need an explanation.

It's late.

I hope you feel comfortable in my house.
You know no one saw you come in.

Your car's windows are tinted.

No one knows you're here, Carlos.

That's the problem with being
a public persona.

Exactly.

- Even more so now.
- Ah!

So it's true that you're launching
a campaign for the Senate?

I can't confirm nor deny.

I always loved your tact,
your way of communicating.

How can I help you, Minou?

Um...

I owe money to someone and...

I will pay it.

You know me, I will pay.
But his timelines don't match mine.

What's his name?

Román Iglesias.

He owns nightclubs and casinos,
and he's been out of control lately.

What do you want me to do?

You promised to protect me.

Remember?

I don't know.

Maybe assign the police or security.

I could protect you,
but you cannot cross the line.

You know that with your history,
you cannot use arms.

Carlos.

That was self-defense.

- You still have pictures of me.
- Ah.

Don't think much of it.

It's not nostalgia,
I just haven't put it away.

I'm sorry.

No, Carlos, don't be sorry.

Please, help me.

And then you can go back
to your wife and kids.

As usual.

BOLONTE FAMILY

The keys.

Thanks.

I can meddle in your life anytime
and however I want.

So I can't have privacy?

"Privacy." Please.

When has there been privacy
between you and I, Emanuel?

What?

You're going to tell me you fell in love?

- Hmm?
- Why are you following me?

I'm not. I'm working.

- You left during work hours.
- I don't have work hours.

You do, sweetie. You sure do.

It's your job to be at the events.

Look, Flor.

I don't ask for explanations
when you see the engineer, architect,

- or whoever that guy is.
- So what?

I don't have to explain myself either.

I explain myself because I want to,
not because I have to.

I explain myself because I trust you.

Because, as far as I knew,
there were no secrets between us.

Arias, answer me this.

How can you explain that, although
you live next to Emanuel Morillo,

you didn't hear anything?

Because I don't pay attention
to what my neighbors do.

- Do you pay attention to your...
- We ask the questions.

I'll make your job easier.

I have no reason to want
Ana Miró Sanz dead. No motive.

She was a client and nothing else.

Actually, Arias, the fact
that we don't have a motive yet,

doesn't mean you don't have reasons
that we don't know about yet.

What is this? I...

So now I'm a suspect?

I came here out of my own volition

to cooperate with the investigation,
and now I'm being incriminated.

You lock me in here, you accuse me
of a murder that you're clearly

too incompetent to solve,
so now you're saying I did it

just because I live next door
to where a dead woman appeared?!

- It's absurd!
- Calm down.

We think you're a suspect

because you're willing to do anything
that Emanuel Morillo asks you to do.

You said it yourself.

"We're less than brother and sister,
more than friends."

Tell me the truth.

- I won't tell you...
- Who is she? What's her name?

- Flor.
- Where did you meet her?

Are you in love with her?

- Can we talk another time?
- No.

Who is she?

Why won't you tell me, for fuck's sake?

Flor.

Are you really going to
get this way with me? With me?

Come here. Come here. Come here.

It's me. Look at me.

It's me, Emanuel.

Yeah? Everything okay? Yes?

As always.

You can go out with whomever you want.

You can do whatever you want,
but you can't fall in love.

Because in the end,
you and I will end up together.

No matter what.

Thank you.

Open up.

- Open up.
- Calm down.

How can you be so dumb
to think that by getting rid of me,

Víctor will stop being unfaithful.

And I can't believe you're so naive

that you'd compare yourself to me.

Víctor has always been ambitious,
but I have the last word here.

I'm sorry he decided to get rid of you,

leaving you homeless,
without a job or money.

If you need compensation,

call my secretary.

I'm so thankful for Minou.

This activated a part of me
that I didn't even think of.

That's good. Improving yourself is key.

What will you study?

Law.

Great to have a lawyer as a friend.

What's wrong?

It's just that...

I don't know how to reconcile
my job with my life, overall.

With the emotions, for example.

This is a job like any other,

like a therapist helping a patient.

More intimate, but it's exactly like that.

What if I fall in love?
Has that ever happened to you?

No, never.

I have to ask you for a favor.
I need to borrow your apartment.

I love that drawing.

- Did you make it?
- Yes.

- Yes?
- Thank you.

Of course.

Oh, hi!

Hi.

So cute.

- He can be a bit much, sorry.
- It doesn't matter.

- What's his name?
- Harry, he's my brother's.

This is also his apartment.

Mine is getting renovated,
so I'm staying here.

Is that him?

Yes, Tomás.

He's traveling,
so I'm taking care of Harry.

I love those drawings. Are they yours?

Yes, thank you.

By the way, I have your bag of books.

I could have
given them to you in person, but...

It was a good excuse to see you.

Emanuel. The other day, I went for you.

The day we got together at Lino's
and you asked why I went.

I went to see you.

It makes me very happy to hear that.

- Emanuel.
- Yes?

It's my first time.

Trust me.

It will be okay.

Ms. Ana isn't home, but she told me
you were coming, so she's on her way.

Want me to call her again?

Don't worry. I'm only going to unwrap it
to make sure everything is okay.

Of course. Do you want something to drink?

Uh, yes. Vodka.

- Great.
- No!

Water. A glass of water.

- I'll bring it.
- Thank you.

Hi.

Oh, hey.

- What's up?
- Again.

Yes, and what is it this time?

It's a beautiful sculpture that your wife
couldn't resist bringing home.

Your home is so nice.

Thank you, but I don't even know
where it will fit.

- Don't worry, I'll find space for it.
- Okay.

It's nice to see you.

- Same here.
- Your water.

- Thank you so much.
- It's not a problem.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I saw you on TV the other day.

- Oh yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

Probably more elegant than I am now.

You weren't just elegant,
you spoke eloquently.

- Very strong and clear. I liked it.
- Thank you.

Thank you for saying that.
Lately, I don't get many compliments.

Can you wait for me here? I'll go change.

Of course. Of course.

- This is Julia.
- Julia.

Are you okay?

I didn't know I could feel so good.

I need water.

- I'll go get it.
- No.

- I'll go.
- Really?

Mm-hmm.

What's wrong?
