[ringing tone]
-[Sophie] Hello? -Hi, Sophie?
Micky, what do you want?
Nothing, it's just--
I just wanted to be in touch, to see about you and Michelle.
I know it's been a while since--
No. Not a while.
Eleven years.
Eleven years since you talked to your daughter.
You're right.
-Just-- -Know what?
Don't call here again, please.
[dial tone]
[backing track playing]
-It doesn't sound so bad. -It's horrible.
Take it easy. Come here.
[Luis groans]
-[chuckling] No! -No, what?
No, no, not now.
-Ah... -No, no, Alex will kill me.
I have to be there at eight.
-I can't. -How about we go to my house?
-Or... I have a better idea. -Oh, yeah?
[whispers] Here.

[man on radio] We've fallen in love with Cris Valdés' newest soap opera,
The Secret Temptations, for you listeners--
[woman 1] I don't stop listening to new music by Cris Valdés.
It's the best thing I've ever heard--
[woman 2] For the sixth consecutive week, "No Lo Harás" by Cris Valdés
is top of the Billboard pop charts.
I hope you all aren't tired of hearing it by now.

Is he coming or not?
[Alex] He said eight o'clock.
What time is it?
Fuck.
[sighs]
About 9:30.
Ninety minutes.
[vehicle approaching]
-Come on. -[Luis] I know.
Micky, two hours, man. Two hours.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was stuck at the studio.
I am sorry.
Whatever, it's time to go now.
But why?
What do you mean why? It's closed, no one's here.
[Sergio] It's open!
Whoa! Check it out, Alex.

How's it going with the girl from "Everybody Loves Banana"?
[Luis chuckles]
Good. Uh... she's--
She's funny.
-And Érika? Is it over? -It's over.
She's in New York, It's been months.
I have a date tomorrow.
-Is that right? -Yeah.
-It's about time. -Mm-hm.
You got any suggestions?
Be you.
I know it sounds like a cliché and everybody says it, but it works.
-Be yourself. -All right.
-Cool, brother. -Yeah, thanks.
But wait, no-- Not just that, try not to scare her, more or less.
No way. What're you saying about me?
[laughs]
Ooh! Are you all right?
-Yeah! -[both laugh]
I just spoke with the organizers.
They really want Micky at Viña.
To headline the festival.
So, what's the problem?
Three months since he's done a concert.
He's busy working on Aries.
We're talking about a few days in Chile, not a tour of Asia.
And finish the album when he returns.
McCluskey, you know right now he has to be here with his brothers.
[Patricio] Why doesn't he take them to Viña?
There's a beach, it's summer down there.
Let me try to convince him, talk to him directly.
[backing track playing]
-Wait. Cut, cut. -[music stops]
-Micky we can break if you want. -No, no.
Eh...
Listen, Micky. Maybe we can try it a little different.
Like, change the arrangement of the whole song, add a modulation...
I don't know. It sounds outdated.
-You know what I mean? -Okay, uh...
We'll try again tomorrow.
Maybe that'll help. Thanks, everyone.
[door opens]
How's the album going, Micky?
Bad. Horrible.
Juan Carlos gives me songs that sound 20 years old.
We've already done them. I don't know-- It's not...
No lie, to me it sounds passé.
[scoffs]
Why not take a real break?
-Always helps me whenever I'm in a rut. -I'm not going to Viña del Mar.
It's been months since you were seen in public.
No matter who you are, those spaces get taken.
You talkin' about Cris Valdés?
I don't wanna hear anything about Cris Valdés.
It's my job to tell you.
This guy's stuff is everywhere. Half his songs are Top Ten.
-But forget that. -[ice rattling]
Today, Cris. Tomorrow, someone else.
Come to Viña.
A few shows in Chile and Argentina, you're right back in it.
I'm not going.
No, man, I have to be with my family. I promised them.
Doc hates me now.
He brings me the same old stupid movies.
Yesterday, he brought me that Demi Moore movie Ghost.
[footsteps]
-Hey, Doc. -Look what I brought.
-What? -[Luis laughs]
Hey, come here.
This month I'll take you to Acapulco so you can finally see the house.
You, me, Alex, Michelle, all of us.
-What do you say? -Sounds good.
Gimme a kiss.
[kisses]
You guys have fun.
Thank you.
Shall we?
[pop song playing]
[Alex] You know, it was incredible there.
So, in Colombia, it was insane and the stadium was packed.
I don't know how, but we made it out.
Wow.
Hey, you sure you don't wanna see Micky's wine cellar?
I'm sure.
This is my brother's favorite wine.
Did I tell you he's buying a vineyard?
Yes, Alex. You did.
And you told me that your brother sang at the Expo in Seville,
and that he won some sort of prize in San Marino.
-Sanremo. -Whatever.
[both chuckle]
It's really you.
I wanna know.
I have this messed up habit
of always talking about my brother.
You don't have to with me.

[dog barking]
You're about to say you can't make it to the birthday party?
What? Me? No.
This is the second time this week you've come over, so...
I don't know. What?
[sighs]
Well, uh...
I need to go to Viña.
I tried to cancel it, but I couldn't.
You know how they can be.
I was planning another party for Michelle. Another party for Michelle.
-With her cousins, with Alex-- -Uncles.
-Michelle has no cousins. I mean, Micky. -Sorry, with her uncles.
In Acapulco. Imagine that. What do you say?
Well, we'll see.
Had I known, I'd have said nothing about it.
How could I know you wanted to talk to your dad?
You could've asked me.
MEXICO CITY, 2005
I'm 18 years old now, Mom.
I'll decide if I wanna talk to my father or not.
-But, my love... -What?
It's just not a great idea.
We're in the middle of a move, and, you know... No, seriously.
We're moving to Miami in one week.
I wanna see him.
He didn't speak to us for 11 years, Michelle.
[Michelle sighs]
I know.
[sighs]
But I wanna know what he wants.
Oh, honey.
Please.
Let me see what I can do.
[Sophie] I want them to meet in a public place.
-So they can be photographed? -Ah, come on, please!
Of course that's not why. Don't be ridiculous.
[Mauricio] All I'm saying is, Micky will be Micky.
You know that perfectly well.
[Michelle] Mom.
My love, I thought you were letting me speak with Mauricio.
I know, sorry, but honestly,
neither of us should be talking to Mauricio at all.
Let me talk to my father.
Can his daughter call him or is he locked away in some suite
-in Las Vegas without cell service? -[sighs]
Listen, how about this idea?
I give you his phone number
and let him know you're gonna call.
-[phone bleeps] -But after that, I'm out.
Okay?
Wasn't so difficult.
-Happy now? You got it. -Thanks, Mauricio.
MEXICO CITY, 1994
Listen, about the house.
The wine cellar.
Don't use it, Alex.
And I left CDs in the stereo. And, uh... Oh. Right.
-[Alex] Okay. -Do not use the car.
How about the couch, or the TV?
-No, course not. -Ah, he gets it. He's smart.
[Doc] Sergio. I've got the bags.
I'll be right down. Thank you.
Can I invite Bárbara?
Who?
-The girl I've been seeing. -[Sergio] Yeah, Micky.
Don't you remember?
Oh! Bárbara! Of course.
Come say goodbye.
Come on.
Listen to me, little man.
You take care of Alex.
You're the man of the house. Right? Gimme a kiss.
[Sergio kisses]
Bring me something back, man.
Ah, this kid. [chuckles]
All right...
Seriously.
I know it sounds like a lot,
but it's my house, so my rules.
No one here I don't know. Got it?
And don't use the car.
[band playing pop song]
[music and cheering from outside]
-Hey. -Hey!
[both kiss]
-[knock on door] -[man] You're on, Micky...
Please.
You're on.
-[door closes] -I'm on now.
-Go on. -You wanna get up?
[Paola laughs] Go.
What are you looking at? You look delicious, as usual.
-Hey! Oh. -Micky.
You got it.
-Do something later? -Let's go out to dinner.
-A little wine and some oysters, huh? -Micky! Micky, how you doin'?
Hey. How's it goin'?
-Hey, she's a beauty, man. Come on, Micky. -[laughs]
You been good?
Not bad. And you? How are you?
Incredible, brother.
I'm glad I didn't have to go on after you.
Hey, how's the new album? You still recording, or...?
It's coming along. Been working on it.
Ah, that's good.
Kiko!
Kiko, hey!
-Cris, what's up? -You heard the album this man produced?
He's a monster!
-Is that so? -He's a monster, this Kikito!
Micky, put this on.
-You know they were working together? -Kiko and Cris Valdés? No idea.
Go get me a new guitarist right away.
Have a good show now.
Hurry up and finish that new album.
'Cause I want Kiko to help me with my new LP.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
But don't wear him out.
Kiko!
[sucks teeth]
[crowd cheering]
Where are you going, Kikito?
Where am I going?
On stage with you.
You're with me now? Oh, no, no, no, no. He's here to replace you.
-[music playing] -[crowd cheering]
[pop music playing]
You want one?
Ah, damn.
Dude, why don't you just talk to him?
Because that's how he is with girls.
You don't understand.
Okay, you're seeing this girl, been having a great time.
She invites you to go out.
You prefer to stay here with me, shooting the breeze all night?
No.
-I'll be honest. I don't understand. -For real, bro.
I have to watch Sergio. Micky told me to.
Look, Sergio is asleep and Magda's over there.
-Yeah? -Well... yeah, so?
I got no car.
So take your brother's. It's so simple. Go on, man.
So, is that what you would do?
Listen.
I would've been there, like, two hours ago already.

Where's Micky?
He should just be finishing his set.
-Hm? -Alex was in an accident.
On Reforma, in front of The Angel.
What?
Is he okay?
I don't know. I don't know.
Hugo called me and they're on the way to the hospital.
But that's all I know right now, no more.
We'd better wait till we know more about Alex.
I'm telling you--
Micky will have to sing twice more this weekend.
A lot of interviews've been booked.
You're not listening to me. Alex is in the hospital.
If he's okay, no need to make Micky upset.
If you don't tell him, I will.
Doc.
Don't get ahead of things.
Please consider Micky's emotions.
[Luis] Thank you! Really. You're beautiful. All of you.

Oh, yeah?
So, listen...
I talked to Michelle. Well...
she called me just this morning.
[sighs]
I don't know, Micky.
It's just that...
things are pretty rough with Sophie.
You should get to know her a little better,
maybe let things calm down a little bit.
No, I wanna see her.
Are you ready, Micky?
[Luis] Shoot me from the right, okay?
[director] We also need one from the top.
[Luis] I don't think so.
[Mauricio] One more hour.

Hello there?
Hello?
Michelle?
[Luis sighs]
Mm.
Last time I saw you, you were this big.
-What happened to you? -[laughs]

is what happened.
[Luis chuckles]
Wanna see the house?
[Michelle] Listen to this, okay? Uh... Romance.
-Uh-huh. -Second Romance.
My Romances. Romances?
Don't you get it? [laughs]
Sorry, but those names aren't the most original.
-So, you're a joker, huh? -[laughs]
But the next one has to be Your Romances, right?
-What? No. -No, no, no, sorry.
-His Romances. -What, but why? Don't do it.

"Oh, my God! This guy just cracks me up with all the jokes he's telling now."
I'm sure "funny" doesn't describe the man.

But I don't wanna live in Miami.
Hm. What's wrong with Miami?
It's just--
[sighs]
You know, I'm really happy with my friends,
and my classes and school and all.
I got back together with--
-with my father, and so I've-- -[sighs]
Have you two discussed this?
-No. -No?
We haven't.
Okay.
But...
I was thinking I could live with him for a while.
Uh...
-Is this his idea? -No.
-Oh? -No, really, no.
It's why I'm telling you now, okay? Because...
because it's not a bad idea.
But you just saw him one time.
Ay, Michelle, you have no idea what he's really like.
-Ah-- -You don't know him.
-Yes, I do know him. -Besides that, you don't even...
know if he wants to live with you.
Sorry, honey, but it's true.
-Don't worry, because I'm gonna ask him. -No.
I'm not asking you for permission.
No is no, Michelle.
Don't be worried.
The accident seemed major, but he's doing fine.
He has some bruises, and his elbow's dislocated,
but he feels better.
He'll completely recover.
-So, he'll be fine? No problems? -He'll be perfect.
Relax now. Just try to relax.
Thank you, doctor.
Excuse me.
-[Alex] Hey, Micky. -[Bárbara] Hi.
[Alex] You remember Bárbara?
Give us a second, would you?
Sure.
Man, I'm so sorry.
I messed up.
I don't even remember the accident.
-How are you doing? -All right.
So tell me, then, what happened?
Bárbara asked me out.
I jumped in your car.
I left her house...
and then I crashed the car, man.
You did all the things you told me you would not do.
You see that, right?
If it's just his arm, it isn't all that bad.
We're gonna be murdered in the press if we cancel all his shows.
Yeah, I'm his manager. I have an idea.
-Hugo. -Yeah.
Some guy has accident photos to sell.
If he has the photos, we should negotiate and pay up.
-Pay him? -Yes.
McCluskey, tell me you agree with me that Micky should return to Viña.
No, I don't agree.
I'm sorry.
But if Micky can't perform at these three measly concerts now,
because his brother fell down and got hurt,
then he-- he might just be in the wrong job.
[birdsong]
HE'LL DO IT: CRIS VÁLDES PREPARES BIG TOUR IN SOUTH AMERICA
[Luis] But he's feeling fine.
Doc took him home and he's feeling good.
Who's gonna stay with Sergio? Because you'll be gone for a month.
Mostly Doc.
I'll try to come back for a couple of days.
But you haven't finished the album.
I can finish it after this.
Anyway, doesn't your brother really need you here?
Behavior like this is a form of asking for help.
Crashing my car is?
-That's a great way to say he needs me. -You fired the guitarist,
you're not working on the record, and you wanna tour.
Why can't you just stay here?
'Cause when you disappear off the map, the void gets filled.
We go as soon as possible.
Bravo! Bravo, sweetheart!

Mind turning that off a second, please, Micky?
Just for a second.
-Everything okay? -Yeah.
Got a problem with the tour or whatever?
No, no.
Your father ever mention that concert with Queen?
No.
Well, it was about ten years ago.
Hugo met with Queen's management.
He did everything he could to bring them to Mexico.
Your father found out and because
he didn't much like Hugo, he made the decision that he alone
would bring over Queen.
So, he traveled to London to see the manager,
took him to Vegas, totally paid for it.
Know what happened then?
After your father had invested
all that time and money in that venture,
Hugo just backed out of the deal,
another promoter took on Queen,
and the concert was a disaster.
Your father did that for only one reason.
To screw over his supposed rival.
It was worth it to him.
Micky, you're the greatest, you got to be the greatest
by focusing on your work and not on the competition.
Understand?
[sighs]
Ah. And one more thing.
Kiko's a great guitar player.
And judging from his work with Valdés, a major composer.
So I'm guessing he's not too shabby.
Getting rid of Kiko was
a mistake, I think, Micky.

We can do something even better.
I wanna give you some CDs.

I see. And I'll be with you soon.
I love you so much, my boy.
Bye. I love you too.
You know I miss you.
-I miss you too. -Bye now.
Bye.

-Hello, Doc. -Hey.
What's going on? They won't let me go up there.
Yeah. No. I'm sorry.
Micky doesn't want you to be let inside.
Unbelievable. Why the hell not?
He's upset with you.
I screwed up once.
Just once.
I can't see my brother.
What's his deal?
Thanks, Doc.
Take care.
[cicadas chirping]
[sighs]
You left this at the house.
When we leave personal things behind, that's saying...
that we really don't want to be leaving at all.
You wanna leave?
Not really.
Then why not stay?
Michelle, I've known your father since we were children.
I'm perfectly aware that he's not father of the year.
He's missed of your life.
He can be a difficult man.
And that's why he can be pretty hard to protect.
[sighs]
Give it a fair chance.
Let him make an effort.
And if he screws up... Because he will.
[sniffles]
...we just let him.
Michelle, your father loves you very much.
And don't smoke.
It's bad for you.
Good night.
Okay, uh...
Presenting...
the first song written by this composer here, Kiko Cibrián.

I'd like to present the producer of my new CD, Aries.
-Kiko Cibrián! -Good job, Kiko!
-All right. -I wanted to move the masses,
and you delivered, brother. Boom!
-Yeah, it's gonna be amazing. -The masses!
-[laughter] -[Hugo] That's right. This is it.
Bravo.
-McCluskey. -Congrats.
Thank you. Thanks a lot.
Hey, I know I'm all over the place,
but I wanna stay with Kiko and focus on this album.
Don't worry about it. I'm on board, Micky.
Thanks, Pato. Thank you.
Producer,
-you up for one more? -[Kiko] One more, sure. Of course.
[cicadas chirping]
-Adrián, Arturo. How's it going? -[Adrián] Good evening.
Your brother's waiting.
Now you won't let me see Sergio?
[Luis sighs heavily]
[clears throat]
[jingling keys]
Hey, Micky.
I said I'm sorry.
I screwed up, and I'm sorry about the car.
Just please forgive me.
I have to keep following you?
[tapping]
[Luis sniffs]
[sighs]
You can't keep me from seeing my brother.
Who does Sergio live with?
Micky, you can't keep me from seeing him.
[Luis laughs]
I'm sorry, man. I took your car, I went to see my girl.
You treated me like shit in front of Bárbara.
-Who's Bárbara? -My girlfriend, Micky!
My girlfriend! Ten times I've introduced you!
She was there, at the hospital, after the accident.
-What do you want? -Stop scolding me.
You're not my father.
If you don't like it, then behave like an adult.
What do you want from me?
-I took your car and I'm sorry. -No, no, no.
You wrecked the car and left Sergio alone.
-Sergio was never alone-- -Fuck, Alejandro!
I left him with you.
-But-- -I left you in charge here.
So many times I said my car and Sergio.
I told you.
But I'm not your employee, Micky.
Look at it from my side.
I put up with the same crap as you did. The same shit.
I deserve to get out once in a while.
Go and hang out with someone, and not be locked up like an employee.
You live off my career.
And while you live off my career, I decide how you'll be living.
I see.
It's what you want,
when you want it.
-With Sergio, with Mossad-- -Mm, mm, mm, mm.
With the Mossad, I decided what to do because it was best.
Oh, sure, because every day, man,
-you're doing concerts, tours, and albums. -Alejandro, yeah.
It's pretty simple. Do what I want or not another penny.
It's your decision.
I thought you wanted
for the three of us to be together.
[scoffs] That is what I want.
But I won't just let all of your mistakes interfere or compromise the work I do.
[scoffs]
-Where are you going? -You wanted me to decide, right?
I've decided. Tomorrow I'll say goodbye to Sergio.
[elevator doors open]
I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was in Mexico, I was so busy.
Alex had an accident. A bad one.
It was serious, and-- Uh...
[sighs] But--
Let's go to Acapulco, now.
It's all arranged, and it'll be incredible.
[sighs]
I know.
Yeah. It's all right.
I hope I can, uh...
see you maybe the middle of next week, or...
All right.
Kisses, and give my love to--
Where's your bag?
What bag is that?
-To go to Acapulco. -I don't wanna go.
Sergio.
You promised we'd be together, though.
And that includes Alex.
Yeah, but he decided to leave.
You wanted me to live with you for this? So I could be alone?
[sighs]
Sergio.
I invited you to Acapulco with me now.
I don't wanna go.
[echoing] I have to slow down for you guys.
-I'm faster than you. -Hey.
-He's beating us. -Yeah, he's pretty good.
Good, Sergio.
Good job.
[Sergio] Don't fall down, grandpas.
-Watch out. -Come on, Sergio!
[Alex] Let's go, Micky!
