La Fortuna (2021): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

Dad!

Yeah?

Tony wants to talk to you.
- Ok, I'll be right there.

Hey. What's up?

The sonar detected it a minute
ago.

They don't look like rocks.

Whatever they are,

they're spread
out across the whole sea floor.

And we're seeing more and more.

Guys! Kill the engine.
- Okay, boss.

Hey. Go downstairs and reconnect



the transmitters
for five minutes.

I just need
to verify our position. Okay?

You got it, boss.

What do you think, Frank?

Could be shells.

Come on, Dad! Those are not
shells.

Release the shark.

Look!

Back there.

That's a cannon.

Go to the left.

Okay.

Turning thirty-three degrees
to the west...

Is that part of a barrel?



Zoom in.

Oh, my God...

Those look like...
- I know.

Those are not shells, boss.

Those are not shells!

Okay. So... My team and I

have no idea which galleon
that is down there.

But if you remember
the beginning of "Titanic,"

when they open up the safe

and they find nothing
but wet paper...

I think we just got
a little bit luckier!

Yeah!

Yes!

Yes!

Break it open!

Okay.

Mr. Wild, the storm
is not going to lighten up

and it will continue like this
all the way to Atlanta.

So?

The captain suggests we reroute
to the airport in Augusta.

No. Too far.

Frank...
- What?

No, I'm not gonna leave
this stuff

that far away from thewarehouse.

It's too risky.
- Risky?

Yeah.
- What do you call this?

We are going to end up crashing!

Tony, airplanes
don't crash because of a storm.

Tell the pilot we prefer
to go on to Atlanta. Thank you.

All right, Mr. Wild.
- A-ha.

I told you, Tony.
- What?

You should have flown American.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Wait, I want to say something!
Let me say one thing.

Okay, yes it is like we've won
the jackpot.

That's true.

But I just want to say that for
me, the real treasure...

is not the money.

Of course not!

You see this?

This is more
than just a piece of gold.

This is a dream.

Now, imagine the owner,
hundreds of years ago.

He's coming home, from a colony,
with his life savings.

Finally going to be reunited
with his family...

Finally going to lift them up
out of poverty.

That is what we have brought
back to life.

Not him. He's dead.

He's very dead.

But the dream.

And I can hold it in my hands.

That is the real treasure for
me.

Thank you.

Now I have to go play dad.

Hey, you!

Come on, let's go.

Okay, so do you have everything?

The rest is in the car...

Dad, I was thinking

I've still got two weeks left
of vacation. So...

Why don't I stay? Help out...
I can help out with the books?

Amy, we talked about this.

You need to go be
with your mother in London.

I don't want any trouble.
- Okay.

Sorry.

But I have something for you.

This is the best one.

Wow.
- Don't tell anybody.

You know I couldn't have done
it without you, right?

Save that bullshit
for everyone else!

Can I have a hug or...
something?

Thanks, Dad.
- All right. Thank you.

All right. Love you.

You better go.

Okay.
I'll call you when I get there.

Yeah, call me
when you get there. Okay.

Bye, Susan.

Goodbye, sweetie. Have a good
trip.

This is going to be
huge, Frank.

The stock will skyrocket.

You need to call a press
conference right now.

No, no.

We need to close out
Bradley & Corbyn First.

Do you really want me
to continue with that?

Hmm.
- It will cost us a fortune.

I don't care.

We need to neutralize
that old grouch.

No matter what.

Okay.
- Okay.

Boss?

Come in!

Your snack. And some documents
from upstairs.

Liz...

I think I dozed off.

I think
it's because I'm getting old.

You were already like that
twenty years ago.

Aw!

Shall I serve you?
- Don't try to be nice now.

Yes, thank you.

Where did you say this is from?

From upstairs.
They only need your signature.

Call Lucía.

Who?
- Lucía Vallarta, in Madrid.

I need to talk to her.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Hello, partner.
- How are you?

I can ask them to put us
on the terrace if you want.

If you want to smoke.

I haven't smoked in ages,
Frank.

Oh, I didn't know. I quit too.

Except for the occasional joint,
you know.

Good habits.

Some things are hard to die.

Hmm.

May I have an iced tea, please?

Sure.
- Thank you.

Okay, so what is this all about?

What do you mean?

You're the one who called me.

Some fool in my office
thought I wouldn't bother to...

to read this.

Oh, yeah, hmm.
- Hmm.

Is this
some sort of practical joke?

Why would you think that?

Frank, I'm a partner
in the firm you want to hire.

I would never let them sign you.

We are the antithesis
of everything you need.

I don't think you get it, Jonas.

I don't?

You are exactly what I need.

Honestly...

I don't believe you.

How have you changed so much?

Me? I'm still the man I always
was.

The man who beat you
in every trial.

Must I remind you? Thank you.

No, I mean, you're...

You're always...
You're fighting yourself.

Now you're a five-dollar
psychiatrist.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

Jonas, have you forgotten

when you wanted to be
Matthew Henson

and reach the North Pole?

And I wanted to be Howard
Carter,

and I wanted to find
Tutankhamun... Yes! Right.

When we used to stay up at
night,

reading stories
about Troy and Atlantis...

and we dreamt
of crossing the Amazon...

I know it was a long time ago

and you're really old,

but you've got to remember that.

Right?

This is what you and I
were born to do, Jonas.

To discover.

Just like Indiana Fucking Jones!

I think it's time for us
to put the past behind us

and start to work together
again.

And for me,

your legal advice would be...

Well, it would just...
It would be a great honor.

You know, I have to admit,
I did not expect this.

I know. I know.

You still have that magic,
Frank.

That capacity
to shatter perceptions.

Suddenly.

Well, guess who I learn that from?
- Talk about inspiring.

Making someone feel
like they're part of...

A great adventure.
- Yeah.

Because that's what life is.

It's a great fucking adventure!

That was our motto.

Come on.

You know?

I don't know.

I think
you might be mistaken.

I think you probably
want my brother Martin with you,

because he believed
in all your bullshit.

But me? I was always skeptical.

"The Party Pooper," that was
what you used to call me.

You know? The obstacle
that always got in the way.

And perhaps I'm still that
obstacle, to some extent, huh?

I'm the one that forces you

to hand over the treasures
you steal to the museums.

That's what Indiana Jones did:

stop pirates like you.

Nice try, "partner".

Why don't you try my brother?

But I doubt he'll take your
call.

It's me.

Yeah, no, this was a waste of
time.

So why don't you call
the press conference?

Well,
I'm practically bilingual, sir.

I'm sorry, but I think
she said just the opposite...

Sorry?

"It's hard
to calculate exactly

what it's actually worth,

mostly because we still don't
know the identity of the ship...

But I can guarantee you
it's not chump change."

"But I can guarantee you,
it's not chump change."

Request an In Rem?
- Exactly.

We register our discovery

and if someone
wants to challenge our ownership

they only have seven days
to file a claim.

It will alert
the Spanish authorities!

You think they don't already
know?

It would be worse to do nothing
and give them more time

to find out the name of the
ship.

That's exactly what will happen
if we keep making mistakes,

like your press conference!
- Press conferences are

what makes our stock price go
up!

Hey, Tony, are you going to tell
me how to do my job?!

Guys, wait, wait.

I love Spain. It's great.

The people, the sun, the wine...

The endless amounts of ham...

But the politicians?

They've just announced

they're putting together
an investigation committee.

Oh, shit.

But... I wouldn't worry about
it.

If I know them, it will take
them a week to set it up,

three to meet and ten to realize

that they can't agree
on anything...

Do we really want
to leave the treasure

in the hands of those people?

I don't think so.

Request the In Rem
and then we wait.

Okay?

Marijuana?

You haven't smoked
that stuff in ages.

Yeah, well, you know...

Old habits...
- A-ha.

Maggie...

What do you think of me?

What?

How much weed
have you smoked already?

No, seriously.

How would you describe me?

Would you say I'm...

daring?

In what sense?

You know, like...

Matthew Henson.

Or James Beckwourth.

Indiana Jones.

I know,
I should never have asked you.

I'm just an old fucking stick
in the mud.

Well, you're also stubborn,
gluttonous, chaotic,

pretty obsessive...
- Okay, okay, that's enough.

Sweetheart,

you're the most wonderful man

I have ever met.

What's all this about?

I suggest you put that out
and come to bed, okay?

Yeah...

Thank you.

This Court hereby grants

the initiation
of the In Rem process

against unidentified shipwrecked
vessel.

There will now be a period
of seven days

for any interested parties

to appear to present
any objections.

Otherwise, after that deadline

the wreckage will be awarded
to the discoverer,

Mr. Frank Wild.

Court is adjourned.
