RACE START LINE

[woman 1] Congratulations to you all,

you've made it to this week's final challenge.

This will determine your fate.

For some of you, this path leads to glory.

Others, unemployment.

When you first arrived here, you all took your jobs for granted.

Not anymore, right?

[man 1] Yes, super.

-Okay. -[crying continues]

-So they can give you a kiss. -They're human beings!

-Boing, boing. -Does my hair look bad?

-Your hair? -Did I cut it too short?

-No, no. -Are you lying?

-No, really, no. -Oh no. Don't cry.

I told you how much I love it. A new cut for a new beginning.

It's okay, it's okay.

-Look at you. Everything's gonna be fine. -Bye, bye, bye. Bye, bye, bye.

-Okay, Okay. -Okay?

-Shhh! -[ringing continues]

[employees] Surprise!

THANKS 4 EVERYTHING

[laughing]

-Surprise! -Surprise!

-Oh. -[mother laughs]

What the fuck?

-What is this? -Um, I thought you were still gone.

Um, I'm back today.

-[laughs awkwardly] -[laughs awkwardly] No, that's tomorrow.

Have you seen her hair? Her head looks different somehow.

-Yeah, I um… got bangs. -[employees] Ah.

-[mother] After the kids were born. -Oh.

-[mother] Do you like it? -It's great.

Yeah. Um, is that for my children?

-Thank you. You didn't have to, really. -Uh, no.

-No, hey. Put it down, it's for Padilla. -[mother] Did Padilla fill in for me?

-[woman 3] He's coming, he's coming! -Just… Duck, duck!

[employees] Surprise! [cheering]

-Oh! [laughing] -[cheering continues]

-[man 4 whoops] -[man 5] We got him. We got him good.

-Angelines. -[Angelines] Mm!

-This guy was my substitute? -Hello, María.

Yeah. He uses soccer metaphors that get my blood flowing.

-I'm happy for you. -Thanks.

…the most important thing is your team.

And making sure you put it in the net.

I love you all! From the bottom of my heart.

-["Háblame de ti" playing over radio] -[indistinct chatter]

We love you, Padilla! [whoops]

[mother] Clearly everyone missed me.

You've been gone for what, six months now?

-And? -Well…

Padilla has won our hearts.

-[mother] I can see that. -Don't go. [crying softly]

[mother] He didn't even cry

when I told him not to get drunk with clients.

-Padilla closed the deal with Mercadona. -That's great.

Because I worked on that deal for months.

But he closed it.

-And he saved our year, you know? -He did.

[indistinct chatter continues]

Come on now.

-Show us some pictures. -Sure.

The new pesto cheese…

-Looks bad, but tastes good, huh? -But that one, tastes like pickles.

Here we go.

-Oh, wow. Ah, man! -Oh, let me see!

-Oh, look at that. -Leo.

And little Lucía.

-[man 2] Hmm… -Oh!

-Yeah. -My God!

Come on, those matching overalls are too cute.

I let my boys walk around with their willies out.

-Domingo. -What?

Domingo, that language isn't appropriate.

It would be if I walked around with it out.

This is an inclusive workspace. You can't talk that way here.

You can't 'cause you're a woke wokey.

-Enough, Dom. -[scatting "Háblame de ti" melody]

-Hey, what a bunch of party poopers, -Oh God.

-No one's dancing. -Angelines, careful with your hip.

-You're all out of sick days. -She's gonna break it.

-You heard about the woke dictatorship? -Yes.

-Yeah. Yup. -My brother-in-law showed me.

-I had no idea. -Yeah?

-In a Facebook video. You'll flip out. -Put it down.

Can I have your attention please? Angelines, turn down the music.

-I'm Natalia. -Please kill the music, Natalia.

-Listen, everyone, this concerns us all. -Gentlemen, hey.

The party's over. Pepa's talking now.

-Quiet down. -Thank you for your silence and attention.

Hmm.

Before I get too far into it,

Let's all thank the exceptional Padilla for being with us all these months,

and for closing that deal with Mercadona. Padilla!

-Hear, hear! Mercadona! Mercadona! -[employees cheer]

This guy. [chuckles]

Olga, congratulations on your children, who feel a bit like our children.

How beautiful. That's sweet, thanks.

-I was so eager to-- Mm-hm. -[Pepa] Now for the important part.

Our team building excursion…

This year it's in Marbella. Five-star hotel, open bar and everything.

-When is it? -Tomorrow.

-What? No, are you being serious? -Mm-hm.

You didn't know?

…it would've been the very best team building experience we've ever had.

But we're not doing that.

Why, what happened?

Laura?

-[Laura] Hm? -[Pepa] Please.

Instead, Laura and her team over at Human Resources are--

No, uh-- Um… there's no team, though.

They've prepared a fantastic weekend getaway for us.

-Right, Laura? -Right.

Yes. In the end,

With the resources we had available,

and a lot of efforts,

We have, um, put together a spectacular weekend.

At Vilches del Morrazo.

[employees whispering indistinctly]

The birthplace of Aldo Mochales.

-Ah. -[Laura] Uncle Mochales.

With the beret? The founder of the company and all?

Our logo guy.

We're going to be doing all sorts of fun activities.

For instance, cow milking! Sustainable ecotourism!

Woke, you see? That's woke right there.

And most importantly, we'll no longer be just employees,

we'll be friends.

-But mostly employees. A little bit. -Of course.

-Let’s go team. Let’s go. -Yup.

Let's go team. Go!

[employees chattering indistinctly]

Fucked us again.

-[indistinct chatter] -[telephones ringing]

-Is this the one I asked for? -[woman 3] Here she comes!

[in unison] Olga!

[woman 4] Welcome back!

[woman 3] Welcome to the mommy club!

That's nice.

-This is for you. -Yes!

-[squeals] -A gift? You didn't have to do that.

It was nothing. Just some cheap outfits.

-That's really sweet. -[woman 5] They're very cute.

We know becoming a mother can leave you feeling bit tender down there.

[woman 3] The first day you leave them…

[in unison] Drama. [laughing]

Things are okay, thanks.

-How…? How is your…? Well, your… -How's your pelvic floor?

-Yes. -Yeah.

-[Olga] Good, it's good. -And your fluids?

-It's… -[woman 5] Still breastfeeding?

Because I've had two cases of mastitis in each teat.

-You wanna see? -Uh, if you'll excuse me.

-[woman 3] Yes. -I really appreciate this.

-Yes, of course. Yeah, don't mention it. -Okay. Pepa.

-[woman 5] She looks tired. -[woman 4] Yeah. She'll be okay.

[coffee machine humming]

[beeps, whirs]

-I hope everything goes well, my friend. -Yes, I'm delighted.

-To be unemployed? -Oh, yeah.

-Why not? -I don't know.

[laughs] Domingo, listen…

It's all, for the best. This isn't a life.

Ah.

My wife got us an RV.

When I'm not temping, you know what I do?

-What? -Me and her go to the middle of nowhere.

Valle del Jerte, with all the cherry trees.

-Oh, amazing. -We open a few beers and watch the sunset.

And afterwards, we get down to some serious humpity-bumpity.

[both laugh]

And we talk about it all, about life.

-What we still have left to live for. -I see.

-About how sad it is to work here. -[coffee machine beeps]

And, of course, what happens when I think about work?

-I remember this… place. -[lilting music playing]

[laughs] This coffin, huh?

And then I tell myself,

"Good Lord, you've wasted so much of your time."

Best of luck, Domingo.

-[music fades] -[sighs]

[man 2] Tell me the truth, I promise I won't fire you.

So it's like an attempt at a gay flag?

-It's gay? -It's… colorful.

They need to change the logo. How are we gonna sell cheese?

-I can't believe… pardon me. -Uh, sorry.

-[laughs] Keep going, keep going. -Okay.

TÍO MOCHALES LITTLE CHEESES AND LITTLE KISSES

-[man 2] Pepa's going to hate it. -[man 5] Only a matter of time, Marco.

She'll listen to you.

-Listen to me? -Seriously. Yes, you're very brilliant.

-[man 5] I'm headed out, okay? -[Marco] Hm? Bye.

Hi, brilliant.

-Nosy lady. -You're fun to spy on.

-You gonna do anything? -About what?

About that.

Oh, look, please. He's… employee.

In team building, you are not just employees.

-What are you? -Someone who doesn't wanna get fired.

-Where are you going? -To speak with Pepa.

This late?

-Wish me luck. -Good luck.

-[knocking on door] -[Olga] Pepa.

Olga, how are you?

-Fine, fine. -[lilting music playing]

When I have a little time we have to catch up.

-Do you have a moment now? -Not now. I'm going home.

Um, one thing before you leave.

Pepa, the team building.

-So, because I just got back… -Yes?

It's optional, right?

Olga, of course!

Of course.

-Good. -But you should be there.

[inhales sharply]

I mean, you've been away a long time, so it'd be good to be there, right?

Obviously. Yeah.

So I'm definitely going.

Are those bangs new for you?

Yes.

Uh-huh.

They make your head look longer.

-[music crescendos, fades] -Oh.

These onesies are cute, aren't they? Check out Lu. She looks like a lollipop.

-Right? -[Olga] That's Leo.

I knew I would end up paying for the leave.

-Ah, I warned you not to take it all. -Well, one of us had to.

Fifteen days at home, and half the time doing fitboxing.

I don't wanna argue about fitboxing.

It's important. Your children need a healthy father.

What if I had a heart attack? Then you'd really be screwed.

-[mobile playing lullaby] -[Leo babbling]

Hey, hey, what's happening?

You're not leaving us, are you? Olga?

I need to pack for our annual team building.

Team building? What's that?

The one we do every year.

But, wait a minute.

You mean you're just gonna leave your children here alone?

Not alone, with their father.

-Their father can't breastfeed them. -The freezer is full of fresh milk.

Ah, well, the freezer has milk.

Oh boy, Mommy says the freezer is full of delicious breast milk!

Hooray!

All I know is that I need to absolutely kill it this weekend.

Yeah, but I thought this weekend we might, you know…

-[Leo crying] -No, no, no. Okay. No, no. Okay, okay.

Uh, no.

The guilt is coming. That's the curse of the Catholic.

I can hear them crying out to you.

They're saying, "Mama! Mama!"

-"Mama!" -"Mama!"

"Where's our, Mama?"

-Mama is trying to pay for your education. -Yep.

Excuse me, I need to speak with my sales team.

-Of course. -Oh, sure.

It's designed like a pyramid.

You put some money in, the money grows and piles up.

You bring in more people with money, and it grows.

You wouldn't believe how much money people give you.

I highly recommend it.

-You have any money to invest? -[Olga] Hey.

Time for them to see that we're the strongest sales team in the world.

-Hm? That's right. -In the world?

But… I have all these drugs.

Parrondo.

I know.

Olga, you're so naive. I'm just messing with you.

You believed me, didn't you?

I wouldn't bring drugs on a work trip.

Okay, ladies.

There's no one we need to impress at this company.

So we'll just take this whole week nice and easy.

We're not as young as we used to be.

Well, I'm young.

Yeah, yeah. But even Natalia over here sprained her ankle last year.

I was born with an irregular bone condition.

And in the end, the team with the most points wins a…

surprise.

I told you. It's a competition.

…it's going to be super important that everyone follows the three Cs.

Confidence, communication, and cooperativity.

Confidence, communication, and cooperativity.

-[group] Confidence. Communication. -I think he's an actor.

[group] Cooperativity.

Just one moment, everyone. Uh…

Before we get going,

I want to say on behalf of all the members of this family,

who I'm sure feel the same way I do,

thank you to the company, and a huge thank you to Pepa,

for this great gift you have given us, that we're gonna take full advantage of.

Cows?

-Something else. -[cows mooing]

Cow shit? I can smell it way out here. [groans]

Say hello to our beloved founder,

Aldo Mochales.

Mister Mochales?

[cows mooing]

He doesn't look anything like the guy on the logo.

My dear Aldo, I know you don't like to speak in public,

but a few words from you would really mean the world to us.

[cows mooing]

[Aldo coughs]

Fifty years ago, I had a dream.

-[cow moos] -[inhales sharply]

Jesus Christ and a dwarf named Nacho

were cutting my father's hair.

This wasn't part of the plan.

[Aldo] I was drinking hard liquor with the dwarf.

Two days later, my father was gone.

Was the dwarf a killer?

-Huh? -Was the dwarf a killer?

What do you mean, "Was the dwarf a killer?"

[Laura] No?

What are you talking about? He was squashed by a tractor.

Oh. How awful.

And then, one year later,

I had a dream that I was making cheeses, so…

Mm-hm.

…I decided I was gonna follow that dream.

And who are all of you?

They're employees, sir.

Oh, what a mess.

Well, you've inspired us a lot today.

What?

Your story. It was very inspiring. I had goosebumps, Aldo. Really.

A round of applause, please.

Sir, you can follow me.

[cow moos]

[Pepa] But not to the barn.

-Not with the cows. -Doesn't he live here?

["Come on Home" by Lijadu Sisters playing]

What?

At Uncle Mochales, what are we? We are cheesemakers.

And who else happens to play an important role

in making all our cheeses?

Uh… uh, the cows do?

As you can see, each one of you has cattle at their position.

And the team who extracts the most milk…

-We need something much more basic. -Oh.

Something simple, like birdwatching. Or a slow walk.

Look what I got. Nothing.

Here, you can have some of mine.

Listen up.

This concerns all of you.

I planned to wait off on this, but after what I've seen…

You're lazy people,

so it's better you know before we continue.

Will there be layoffs?

The board is finalizing the sale of Uncle Mochales to Royal Pet.

Don't they make food for animals?

The pet industry, Olga, is now among the world's most powerful.

You weren't aware?

Eh-- Um, no. [laughs]

[Pepa] Royal Pet is acquiring a variety of companies,

and they have money.

Why?

Because nowadays everyone has cats, and no one has children.

Except Olga.

[laughs nervously]

The current market is a cruel bastard to a mid-market company.

We're too damn big to get any national subsidies,

but then we're too damn small to be competing in any global markets.

-Perfectly summarized. Well said, Nieves. -Actually it's Angelines.

We need a bigger parent corporation

that can open more sectors so we can thrive.

Oh, great.

So this is good news for us, isn't it?

Oh yes. Oh yes!

-[Marco] Yeah. -[woman] Nice!

-[Marco] Good news always welcome. -[woman] Okay!

-[Marco] Bring it on, bring it on. -[woman] Yeah!

-And one more thing. -[Marco] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Silence.

Just one more thing.

Their proposed salaries are very generous.

So get ready for a big pay raise.

-Yes, sir! -[cheering]

-[Parrondo] Pay raise! [whoops] -[cheering continues]

Oh! [whooping] Oh!

Okay, okay, okay, okay. No, no, no, no.

One minute. I believe Pepa's still speaking.

Please settle down. Yeah.

That's why this team building is essential.

Because tomorrow begins a new chapter.

And not everyone can stay in the company.

Ah, so that means there will be layoffs!

[Pepa] I'm afraid so.

For more details, Laura and her team from Human Resources.

No, it really is only me.

So wait, are these layoffs negotiable or what?

Laura, excuse me,

but approximately speaking, how many are being fired?

About, mm…

The number I believe, Marco, is…

The calculation, approximately, give or take, it's not, um…

Uh…

Puts us at around 30 to 40 percent or so.

-30 to 40 percent? Is that a real number? -[Laura] Well, yes.

Now we mustn't allow this bad news

to break this weekend's atmosphere of festive team building.

[Sergio] What the hell do you expect?

I just bought myself a brand-new Tesla.

On your salary?

Well, pardon me for being stupid and following that 2020 Agenda.

-Thirty. -2030 Agenda.

ROYAL PET AND THE CREATIVE LAYOFFS

[Marco] Right there, Angelines.

You see? There, look.

"Royal Pet is known for its unusual process for employee selection,

used to lay off employees in many places."

[Parrondo] So they'll fire us for losing a fucking game?

Is that legal?

Have you read your contract? They can push you off a building

and tell you it's a business trip.

[Parrondo] What bastards.

There's gotta be a way to stop this and defend our careers.

[Domingo] Of course.

I wish they would invent something to defend against abusing workers.

We could name it, for example, a labor union.

Now it's time for the union guy to rant.

I've been proposing one for ages,

but you all preferred to waste our dues on yoga and discount physicals.

That's because it's necessary.

My neck gets sore every day at this company.

-Mine too. It's horrible. -Then let the doctor defend you.

We're wasting time fighting each other.

To save our asses we'll have to fight like animals against this bullshit.

[cows mooing distantly]

What? What's the matter?

Did you think that I'd gone soft?

-'Cause I'm a mother? That's good. -No. I never thought anything like that.

I'm stronger than anyone on this team.

Well, okay, but then what? Are we just going to accept this?

I just gave birth, I'm not in the mood to look for a job.

After we merge, anyone still employed will get a raise. I'm not going anywhere.

And they'll still be giving out those little medals, right?

-Don't worry, honey, they will. -[Olga] Domingo?

For 30 years I've worked at this damn company.

You know what's better than a French salary?

-A Spanish layoff. -So stupid.

I'm red. Like a garnet. Can I repeat it?

No.

But I don't want to be green.

Understandable. Green is duck shit melting in a pond.

In a competition you don't bring empathy, you bring killers.

-You bring reds. -I just realized my foot is blue.

I fell this morning. It feels like a badger is chewing on it--

Quiet, Angelines, or I'll rip your damn foot apart!

-The green seems a little unsettled. -Mm-hm.

[Olga] See? I'm red.

I'm so violent.

The important thing to comprehend is the mixture.

The combination of characters is what enriches the group.

Well, that and going out and stepping on competitors' throats. Hm?

Metaphorically speaking, guys.

Oh, no.

If you want to stay in this company, then crush throats.

Be red killers.

[cows mooing distantly]

No, please don't step on anyone.

Parrondo, you…

You are gray.

[Parrondo] No shit? What is gray?

They couldn't tell me.

[lilting music playing]

-Pepa. -[rooster crows]

Pepa, hey. Do you mind if I talk to you for just a minute?

-Sure. -Um…

I know this moment's very, very delicate for the company.

And of course, delicate for you above all, because layoffs can be difficult.

I'm here if you want me to do it.

But then what exactly do I pay Laura and her team to do?

I mean, Laura can barely take care of Uncle Mochales.

Marco, this team building is priceless for everyone, even managers.

You mean for me?

[laughs] Oh, I see.

Because when they reorganize, you're gonna get a promotion!

-Shh! Shh! Be quiet. -Okay.

So…

Who are they proposing for your position?

Well, the French would like one of their own,

but I'd prefer to have someone I trust.

Believe me, Pepa, I'll do anything.

Pick me. My life would be yours. Please. You won't regret it.

I swear, I'll be the lapdog you've always wanted. Okay?

-I'll see to it you never have to be-- -I'm proposing Olga.

-[music fades] -No way. No. Olga's a disaster.

The woman can barely take care of herself. You've seen her. She doesn't sleep.

Not to mention, her marriage has problems. The two kids--

Olga is brilliant.

[cows mooing distantly]

I mean, Olga is my favorite person.

I'd die for her, it's just that the moment she's presently in--

Olga doesn't know anything, and we'll keep it that way.

Not a word. Hm?

-Yes. -Okay.

But there's still something I don't understand.

Why is this team stuff important for me?

It's important for everyone.

Not all of you get to keep your jobs.

The scythe is here.

So give it your best shot.

[poignant music playing]

[birds singing and calling]

[poignant music continues]

You okay?

[Marco] I don't have a fucking life

because of this shitty, old fashioned company.

And to think we came here to be put out to pasture

like a cow that's gotten milked to death.

Hm.

Hey.

[chuckles]

You're not worried at all?

Marco, having the same job for your entire career is…

A thing for another generation, like using Facebook.

[laughs]

I still use Facebook.

[laughs]

Do you want to know what de-stresses me?

Let's see, surprise me.

-Listening to Britney Spears. -I'm gone!

-[laughs] There is another way. -[laughs] Oh, yeah?

-I'll show you. You'll like it. -Good, good.

-'Cause I don't love Britney Spears. -Look.

[tender music playing]

[groans softly] We can't do this. No, hey.

-What? -No, no, you're gonna get me fired.

-Quiet. -So fired.

[music fades]

[sighs]

[clears throat]

[inhales, exhales]

Tell us how you miss them, Olga?

You think you're going to sleep soundly, don't you?

-Mm-hm. -Well, no. No way.

-You will never be able to sleep again. -Never.

-Never. -Never.

I have to wake up every day at six. And my eldest is in college.

-What? How? -Eye covering.

[woman 4] Earplugs.

Diazepam.

-I'll try the eye covering. -[women laugh]

-You'll need all of them honey. -[Clara] A mommy needs all three.

-All three at a minimum. -You do.

I know you guys are only trying to help,

but I just won't permit life to be entirely taken over by motherhood.

Hm? I can't spend my whole day thinking about onesies,

muslins, co-sleeping,

semi-co-sleeping,

spending all my time in breastfeeding communities.

That green shit from their butt.

[women] Meconium.

It's called meconium, yeah.

-[woman 4] Yeah. -I'm sorry, nope.

Out there, yes. Out there it's Olga, the mother.

A person who's caring and patient.

But not here.

Here, it's Olga, the head of the whole commercial sales wing business.

Olga is a punisher. See? So two Olgas.

Different people.

And right now one of them needs to sleep, because she doesn't want to be laid off.

Hm. Okay.

It's normal to have plenty of mood swings.

-[woman 4] Oh, yeah. -[woman 5] She won't get a wink of sleep.

-[Clara] No way. Good night. -[woman 4] I know it.

-Hey, good night, okay? -[woman 5] Good night, mommies.

-[cell phone chiming] -[Clara] Okay, time to rest.

[cell phone chimes]

[husband on recording] Hi, love. One quick question.

I'm trying to find the bottle warmer,

but I can't remember where I set the damn thing down.

-[chimes] -False alarm, I found it.

Don't worry, okay?

One more thing, do I put it in the dishwasher, or no?

[chimes]

Honey, I just talked to my mom.

She says we're too late to enroll them this school year.

-[babies crying] -Yeah, Mommy's not here. I know, I know.

She's out partying with her friends. And she abandoned us.

-[snoring] -Hey, love.

I know I said one more thing, but I have one more thing to ask.

Do you remember where we buy our diapers from?

[women snoring]

FRIDAY

[man over PA] Good morning, team.

It is six o'clock, and what better way to start the day than

playing human chess!

I'm going to say this one last time.

The use of cell phones inside the costumes is strictly prohibited.

I'm never not watching you, okay?

[Domingo groans]

[man] Playing this game with each other will help with group dynamics,

the feeling of being a team, the team spirit…

-What are you? -I'm Domingo. Why?

Rook? Knight? Bishop?

-Pepa, I can't stand playing this shit. -I don't care. It's your job.

-Today is my day for myself. -[Pepa scoffs]

[man] Very good. Now, the knight moves…

[Pepa] What color did you get on the test?

-[man] No, like an L. -[Domingo] Hm?

-He didn't take it. -[man] And the sound. [whinnies]

-I took it. -We all know you didn't.

I forgot.

-And the box? -What box?

Have you produced any great ideas about improving the company?

-I'll go brainstorm right now. -No.

-Not that either? -No.

You're a snitch. You can never trust HR.

Being old doesn't mean you can break whatever rules you want.

We've discovered a pattern of disturbing and fire-able bad behavior, Domingo.

Oh, you'd break my heart.

Please have mercy.

But if I must go, I must go.

-Without compensation. -Yeah right, you know you can't do that.

-No compensation. -No, you're out of control here.

Don't joke with me about that, it's very serious.

-You can't let me go without my pension. -I have here a conduct report.

-I didn't write it. -What report?

In the last three years, according to the report…

What are you, a spy?

…"Domingo has been an average of 20 minutes late,

over 80 percent of all workdays."

You're late over 80 percent of all workdays.

-You put the parking lot a block away. -Go on.

-Language offensive to our company values. -Are you listening?

-Language offensive to our company values. -Offensive language? Me? Come on now.

-In reference to our custodian, Joaquín. -I would never.

-What did he call him? -You-- You called him-- He called him--

-"The dark one at the entrance." -Dark one at the entrance.

-Joaquín, the janitor. extremely serious! -So what?

There are five Joaquins in the company, and that one's Black.

-Uh, conduct deemed discriminatory. -And?

-With who? Jess. -Jess. The intern.

-Who is Jess? -[Pepa] Our summer intern.

You disrespected Jess's pronouns on many occasions.

You referred to them as female.

-You spoke to them as a female. -Pepa, what?

-They filed a complaint before they left. -Not true.

I have zero problems with bipolar people, guys.

If Royal Pet sees this report, what happens to Domingo?

If they see even half?

These charges have been found sufficient to begin the dismissal process.

With no pension.

I've given 30 years of my life to this company,

and now my whole pension is gone because of a couple comments?

-There's plenty you can do before you go. -No.

[Pepa] Domingo, I wanna see you give your all for once.

[lilting music playing]

[Domingo sighs]

I believe they're kicking us out, my friends.

-[Natalia] Are you serious? -What's our next move?

Eliminate the strongest one on the team.

[music turns ominous]

[man speaking indistinctly]

-I am. -Yeah, definitely.

[music fades]

-[baby crying over phone] -[husband] Hello, Mommy!

How's it going?

They have layoffs planned for us.

They're coming at the worst possible moment too.

But they won't fire you. I mean, you're like their sales champion.

No, no. I'm not the champion, Víctor. I'm not the champion.

I'm just some sort of poser.

I still think like Olga the killer, but then somehow the body won't cooperate.

Something's wrong. It might be over.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awful, my love.

But, um, maybe we change the subject a bit.

Because, um…

We're having a little problem with a fever over here.

Nothing I do is helping.

Leo or Lu?

-It's… Leo. Definitely Leo. -How high is it?

I put it in his armpit, and the meter said--

Uh, Leo, no.

The thing said it was 99.

But then I thought, let's put it in his butt.

In his where?

It's always wise to get a second opinion, and I thought…

Just please tell me you washed the thermometer.

Papa is breaking under his mental load.

Set the plushy puppet down.

-Mama what now? -What do you think?

-How about you make them an appointment? -A doctor app?

-Olga, we need to talk to you now. -[Olga] You download it. Yes.

-How do I… -Schedule it.

So if I want to talk to you, I have to schedule it?

Bye, darling.

-Um, is it important? 'Cause I'm… -This is very important. [clears throat]

When we begged for more pay, and you said there wasn't money.

-There wasn't money. -[Parrondo] Of course not.

Because your pay already took all of it.

[Olga] What do you mean, my pay?

Salary. It was put on the network.

-By some Good Samaritan. -Tell me the person.

Okay? Who did it?

-Domingo? -That's not important right now.

You get this plus bonus?

-Yes. Monthly. -[Parrondo] I told you!

See, I told you! Queen Olga is a leech on our asses!

How funny. Hm?

Some of us have spent 15 years working here.

Could be that I'm the one in charge here? And you're not?

Olga, for God's sake, triple?

You deserve triple? Hm?

I get triple because the manager gets triple!

Hm? They load me with triple the responsibilities!

And I have to put up with triple the incompetence on my team!

You hear that? [laughs smugly]

And I don't sneak off to the forest to do drugs during team building.

[Parrondo] Come on, Olga. That's a low blow, and you know it.

Because I snuck a little candy during team building?

I mean, if the kids can't let loose between contests and be free,

then this place starts to feel like a funeral home.

But you know where I feel the pain the most? Padilla.

He wouldn't have done this to us.

Padilla doesn't have my fucking mental load!

[door slams]

[employees chattering indistinctly]

[sighs]

[buttons clicking]

-[pump whirring] -[groans softly]

[inhales, exhales]

Don't worry about it. Stay calm now.

Just breathe.

[inhales]

Fucking Domingo.

[exhales]

[mischievous music playing]

[exhales]

Now in this next activity, we'll work on teamwork.

-[mischievous music continues] -And being together.

Also, we'll learn about the importance of empathy and camaraderie, okay?

-[Domingo] Camaraderie is important. -[man] It really is. And what else?

-[Domingo] And, uh… -Punctuality.

-Yes. [chuckles] -[man] Yes.

Punctuality so as not to break the climate of teamwork.

-Ah. -We begin with a game of role-playing.

An explosive war has gone nuclear. [mimics explosion]

Yeah. Of course it has.

[man] And you are six random strangers on board a hot air balloon,

who've managed to survive together.

Pardon, if we are six total strangers,

it would be my biggest concern

to be proper about addressing all of you respectfully.

I need to know the pronouns.

He/him, he/him, she/her?

They/that, it/its, right?

Okay, so… we're all normal, is that right?

[Sergio sighs]

[man] The hot air balloon is flying towards a desert island,

and once you're there,

you'll have to start a brand-new civilization.

-Yes? -Mm-hm.

Only there's one minor problem.

The balloon is too heavy, and you're about to crash.

If you want to reach the island, you'll have to throw someone over.

-[Olga] Mm-hm. -Say bye to Armando, the lawyer.

-Overboard you go. -You'd kill me?

Of course!

What are we going to do with a lawyer on a desert island?

[laughs] It's ridiculous, right?

The lawyer? Sorry, buddy. Off to the sharks. Go!

Rapid, resolute, and authoritarian.

The lawyer goes to the fucking sharks now!

Decision made!

-Oh… -[grunts]

I think the talk went well. He seems much more motivated.

-[man] Hey, Domingo. Domingo. -I'll make a note.

[man] Take a deep breath.

Domingo, this is a role-playing game, okay?

Yes.

[man] We're playing characters that are not our real selves.

-He is not him. -Ah!

-[man] You are not you. -Oh, pardon, pardon.

[man] And I am not me. Well, actually, I am me.

[Domingo] Okay, then. How do we play?

[man] You each have an envelope with a designated role to play.

Open it and defend your occupation on the balloon.

Where is the envelope?

-[man] Underneath you. -[Domingo groans]

-[man] Are you all right, Domingo? -Whoa. You okay?

I'm okay. Thank you.

[man] Oh, okay.

I think he needs air.

[Domingo] How pretty. I love this envelope.

Hey, I'm definitely staying in the group.

Because I'm an expert game hunter.

And when we land on the island, we'll have to eat something.

Wait, wait. That's if there are animals, we can't be sure there are.

Also, I'm a vegan.

Okay. When we get attacked by a wild boar, then what?

Are you going to take it down with sticks of tofu?

[Domingo laughs]

With tofu? With Tofu!

Though it is pretty wonderful, right?

My sister loves to eat tofu.

Attention!

Who here's a vegan?

Who likes tofu? Tofu is important.

Tofu is a very important part of my life!

Excuse me, Olga. What's your plan for this thing?

-My plan? -[Sergio] Defending ourselves.

From what I understand to be true, she doesn't have any weapons.

-No weapons? -No weapons.

-[Domingo] What do you mean, no weapons? -Okay then, I'll carve them.

-I'm gonna look for a boar! -[Marco] Careful.

-[man] You're going to hurt yourself. -[Olga] Domingo!

-Is he having a stroke? -His eyes are blood red.

-[Armando] Like the devil. -No.

What do you mean, no? They're like two peppers.

I think they seem fine.

-Okay. Sorry. -Come back, it's okay.

We must remember none of this is real.

-We're just doing activities. -I was looking for the wild boar.

[man] No, no. You don't have to do that.

My turn now, right?

Botanist.

Of course, how will we ever survive without beautiful flowers on our tables?

[Domingo] Very good point.

I am a beautiful homosexual botanist.

-You're thinking "florist," you hick. -I have a friend who's gay

[man] That's good. That's very good, Domingo.

Because I'm woke.

Well, okay, um…

On the island, someone might need medicine, right?

And nature would be the only medicine we have access to.

Everything is wonderful in nature! I love nature, the air and the trees!

Have you ever seen a tree? They're fucking magical.

-I wish I was a monkey. -[man] Careful.

-[Domingo] Calling my sister. -[man] Those don't work.

About buying us tofu. To see what kind of tofu's best to eat.

Um…

As I was saying,

I think Marco stays because he's the one able to identify different medicines.

And I know how to apply them because…

DOCTOR

…call me "doctor."

[laughs] Boom.

[Armando] My turn.

I will be our engineer.

Well, perfect, because I got "builder."

And everything you design, I'll be able to build it.

We match together perfectly.

And now for Domingo.

-No, no, no, no, no. -You have to open it.

Uh-uh.

-Right now. It's for everyone. -[Domingo] No, no, no, no.

It says you are…

-The lawyer. -No, no, no!

You monsters won't take me alive! No, no, no! [grunting]

[woman gasps]

Uh… let's move on to our next challenge.

Karaoke.

Domingo?

-Domingo. -[Domingo groans]

-[man] Are you hurt? -[Domingo] No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

-I'm sorry. -["Háblame de it" continues over PA]

You just about killed me.

And you?

Why would you show them my salary?

[sighs]

[inhales]

Because you're the best, Olga.

And if they fired you,

you'd have another job by tomorrow morning.

But I don't want another job, I want this one.

You don't want one.

But I can't get one.

Why not?

What kind of companies do you think would hire a dinosaur like me?

A man my age?

[poignant, pensive music playing]

[inhales, sighs]

[poignant, pensive music continues]

[enchanting musical flourish]

-[Padilla] I have an RV. -[music turns auspicious]

[Domingo] Hello?

Ah.

Huh. [laughs]

Huh.

[laughs]

[inhales]

[laughs]

[music fades slowly]

-[Marco] You're out of your mind. -[Sergio] They'll be gone all morning.

[Marco] Is this your way of telling me you're crazy?

[Sergio] They come back in the afternoon, every day.

[Marco] No, we can't. No.

[Sergio] Shhh, yes we can.

Trust me, they've been here all week.

[Marco] But what if we get caught?

[both moaning softly]

Oh! Oh, the United States. The U.S. makes me so fucking horny.

-[Sergio] Yes? Really? -[Marco] Since I was a kid.

[both moaning]

[grunts] Call me something. Some tacky woman.

-[grunts] -Patricia!

-[Marco] Yes! Call me Patricia! -[Sergio] Patricia!

Patricia?

[Marco and Sergio moaning]

[Marco] Let me take over.

[Marco and Sergio continue moaning]

[door hinges squeaking]

[lilting music playing]

[Marco] Just let me take over.

[Marco and Sergio moaning]

-[Marco moans] -[Sergio] No! Not the top!

-[brake cranks] -[Marco] Oh, okay, okay, okay!

Domingo?

[lilting music continues]

-Are you some kind of voyeur? -I don't know.

-What are you doing here? -Nothing.

-What are you two doing? -Uh, we're working.

-Oh, a work meeting? -Yes. Is Tati coming?

Shortly. Does it feel like we're moving?

Oh. What?

-Wait a minute. Domingo? -We're rolling.

-[Marco] We're fucking moving! -[Domingo] Oh shit!

-[Sergio] The brake! -[Marco] Grab the brake, Domingo!

-[music intensifies] -[all yelling]

[all yelling and grunting]

[all yelling]

That's our RV, isn't it?

[Domingo, Marco, and Sergio yelling]

-[music crescendos] -[Domingo, Marco, and Sergio grunt]

-[music fades] -[cow moos]

-[Marco] Domingo. -[Domingo coughs]

-Domingo. -What?

Are you okay?

You know you don't have to say anything.

You're both grown-ups.

You can do whatever you want with each other.

Yes, but listen to me. He's my employee.

Some people might call it an abuse of power.

Look at me.

Is he abusing his power?

I don't know.

Well, I'm happy if you're happy.

-Now, please, if you wouldn't mind. -Okay.

I can't really deal with your erections. Please, would you just let me out?

-Let's get moving for Domingo. -[Domingo grunts]

[Marco grunts] Okay.

-[birds singing] -[poignant music playing]

-What are you doing here? -[music fades]

[Laura] Mm…

[inhales sharply]

Hm. I don't like putting my nose in anybody's business.

And yet…

Mm-- Sergio and you… got together?

Fucking Domingo.

-That's a yes. -No.

And he has no proof, and neither do you.

Look, I know this is a bit unprofessional on my part,

but it was pretty stupid on your part to do this.

You're his boss.

Well, okay. But pardon me for trying to live my life for once.

Marco…

Only so many will make it out of here.

[sighs]

And I think we both know being employed is what's best for you.

[tense, pensive music playing]

[tense, pensive music continues]

Each one of you needs to hold their own balance.

-So we don't need to… -[women groaning]

You don't need to hold each other. So let go of each other's hands.

That's it. Trust yourself. Trust the universe.

-You are balanced. You are one. -[music fades]

Yes, that's it. Let go of her.

[crickets chirping]

I used to believe that…

they were like this because they're exhausted moms.

Beaten down. But, no.

They're not exhausted.

They've entered another phase in life.

-You know? -[owl hoots]

And I don't mean they're so great.

But they're not bad either.

They look lost.

No way.

[man] Stop.

They look so special.

They don't care what happens, they…

They let their focus be elsewhere,

because their priorities are elsewhere as well.

Is that where you are?

Yes, I think so, but…

The market won't allow it.

Family, or career?

They might be moving Pepa.

She could be going to France.

Well, there you go.

Maybe it's a hundred years until the suits bring on a woman executive again.

I don't have very many options.

You're right.

But you're gonna be a fantastic mother.

-[tense, pensive music resumes] -[man and group of women] The happy cat.

The angry cat.

The happy cat.

-[man] That's it. -[women] The angry cat.

Maybe we can include a smile.

The happy cat.

The angry cat.

SATURDAY

-[music fades] -[man] Good morning, team!

Today we will begin at the top of a mountain.

I hold in my hands a wheel of Uncle Mochales cheese.

Semi-cured.

[cows mooing distantly]

If I wasn't a vegan, it would be my fa-vo-rite.

This next competition is for many points.

It is going to test the inner strength of each one of you,

and see who can overcome their fear.

Who wants it?

Are you kidding right now?

[man] Uh, no. You have to go after the cheese.

Three, two, one, cheese.

[Pepa] What are you doing here?

[Olga] Um…

I followed you.

I need to tell you something. I, um…

Pepa, I'm gonna quit.

I'm falling apart.

I don't feel like fighting anymore.

It's not worth it to me now.

It doesn't make sense.

I just want to go home.

I know. Here.

No, no. [clears throat]

No, I'm not like you.

Yes.

Do you think I've always been like this? Hm? Girlfriend. That was my life.

Girlfriend.

And do you know what my boyfriend was?

Doctor?

Entrepreneur.

And he had a brilliant idea.

Empanadas.

Argentinian?

No.

He was Salamancan.

Salamancans eat empanadas?

Hornazos, they call them.

They're dry as a motherfucker.

[Olga] Hm.

He blamed it on me when he failed miserably.

He said I was like a damper. Like a damper. Yeah?

A damper on that entrepreneurial spirit of his.

I gained 27 fucking pounds helping that asshole.

Damper.

But I learned my lesson.

Never, and I mean fucking never,

will I risk myself for anyone or anything.

Never.

Never.

You want to know what I make now? Hm?

Come here. Come here.

[whispers indistinctly]

[pensive music playing]

You felt it, right?

Your whole body covered in goosebumps.

I see it.

From head to toe.

I'm ascending, Olga.

And you're going to take my place.

-[music turns ominous] -Me?

No, don't try to say you're surprised, all right?

I told your friend Marco,

but it's hard to believe that bigmouth hasn't said anything.

Mm. Marco is…

-He's very discreet. [laughs] -Mm-hm.

But when the French look at you, they need to see…

A natural killer. Hm?

Security, firmness, enthusiasm, courage.

Win every challenge and then you'll be me.

-I've never kayaked before. -Every one.

-And the bicycles? -Every one.

Now take a moment. Look at them.

Your little ants.

[ominous, pensive music continues]

GREAT CHEESES, GREAT IDEAS

-[Natalia] It's chaos outside. -[music fades]

We should try to beat Marketing. They're a bunch of tools.

Yeah, with their stupid English.

"Briefing, after work, breakfast, Aquaman…"

It's already in motion right here.

[inhales] He's got a plan.

What's the plan?

Maybe we're old and musty,

and we don't know what they mean by saying "after work,"

or "briefing," or "Aquaman," and--

Maybe we don't use microphones on Zoom, or know what the hell a poker bowl is.

"Poke."

But I bet you know what our generation's better at than any other.

-Calligraphy. -Faking orgasms.

Well, that.

It's working hard.

We work our ass off like bastards.

That's not true.

Well, we work hard enough to get by. Without whining too.

You whine about everything.

Fine, but we don't cry.

They'll never believe it, but we'd be impossible to replace.

-[Natalia] Why? -[lilting music playing]

Because we've seen bodies buried since we began at this company.

They want optimization?

Let's optimize.

GREAT CHEESES, GREAT IDEAS

[music intensifies]

-Am I alive or dead? -[woman 6] Not alive nor dead.

-On this planet? -[woman 5] Sometimes I think you are.

-But, uh-- Am I an animal? -No.

No.

A pleasant person?

BUDDHA

No.

-Not a pleasant person? -[woman 5] No.

-Am I handsome? -Yes.

A little metrosexual?

-[woman 5] Uh, no. -Totally. Textbook.

-[woman 5] No. -Bleh!

-Uh… -[Parrondo] He's stumped now. My turn.

-We'll come back to you. Fire away. -[Tati] Go ahead.

-Does he play for Madrid? -[woman 5] No.

-For Barça? -No.

Mm, I'm screwed.

[cell phone ringing]

-[woman 5] Nothing-- -[Parrondo] Give me a clue.

-[woman 5] A clue? -Excuse me.

-[Tati] Okay. -Mm… Motomami.

-[Tati] That's it. This is easy. -[Parrondo] Ángel Nieto, the 12+1 guy.

[indistinct chatter]

-Yes? -[man] Marco Antuña?

Yes, this is he.

I'm calling from Globalink.

We're a headhunter agency.

Hanhunter, in Germany?

Is this about the interview I did for The Laughing Cow?

It's better, Marco.

[indistinct chatter]

-I don't know. Take it step by step. -You know if they'll give us the medals?

[indistinct chatter continues]

Hello there.

[door close]

-So you aren't leaving? -No.

I'm staying right here.

You chose your job.

It's the fun I chose.

-Makes two of us. -Love that.

[Laura] Thank you.

Well, we've finally arrived at my favorite activity

of the whole long weekend.

Your great ideas.

We are going to read your suggestions

on how to improve the company's operations.

The first one…

"We would spend a lot less on materials for the office…"

Very good.

"…if Armando from Legal would refrain from stealing reams of paper."

-Wait a second. -[employees grumbling]

-Is this true, Armando? -No.

-[Parrondo] Yeah, right. -That's a lie.

Please, Armando.

We see what your bag looks like at the end of the day.

Maybe I should say who dented Pepa's car in the lot?

-[Armando] Or should we all shut up? -Best we all shut up.

-[Armando] Good idea. -A small scratch, toothpaste will fix it.

I'll try another one.

Um…

"Ruzzana is not late to work because she takes her kid to school."

"The kid is 25 years old."

-"She goes to the movies at night." -[Marco] Really?

-[Sergio] Are you kidding me? -Sue me.

-Movies are important. -Another.

-Because that wasn't positive, was it? -[employees grumbling]

"Tati faked like she was sick from Covid."

"She spent the week getting liposuction."

Who said that?

-[employees grumbling] -[whimpers]

"Eva's mother has passed away three times already,

don't give her any more days off."

-[employees grumbling] -Maybe we should stop?

Because these matters seem very much like they're very personal to you.

No, no, no. These matters are much more than personal.

Domingo, I just have one quick question.

Perhaps you can tell us why there aren't any cards about your team?

Because on my people are decent and they work hard.

-Mm-hm. -[Marco] Okay, whatever.

Sure, sure, sure, sure.

But does your team know you have their food tickets?

-[Natalia] What? -What are you talking about?

What am I talking about? Domingo. The tickets you don't give your people.

-Should we have been getting food tickets? -Food tickets?

-Should we have been getting food tickets? -No. Come on.

-Sit down, Angelines. -Of course they should, Domingo.

They're supposed to, and you know it.

-You bastard, you lied to us! -Why, if you mostly eat from Tupperware?

-To sell! Make money back like everybody! -[Domingo] Really?

I guess I'll apologize for trying to save the company a little money.

-I can't believe you'd steal them! -I thought it was our job.

-Guess I was mistaken. I'm sorry. -You're such a selfish bastard!

Bastard! Ticket stealer!

Quit being dramatic. Where are you going?

Very good. Very good input there, Domingo.

From this point on, no food tickets for anybody at all.

That's just fucking wonderful.

[Armando] Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for Domingo,

without whom we'd still have our tickets.

-Nice work, Domingo, thanks. Very nice. -[employees grumbling]

[Parrondo] Great job, Domingo. Dumbass.

Hey, shame on you, sir.

Shame on me? From the lady who shits in the handicapped toilets.

Now, we call them "persons with diverse functionality."

I don't give a fuck what we call them!

-Enough! I'm goddamn tired of it. -[employees grumbling]

Please, my friends. My friends, let's settle down.

Don't let a few insensitive comments of Domingo's

distract from the embarrassment of my pal Olga

doing her business where she shouldn't.

And you know that's disgusting.

Excuse me, but as far as I know, it's not illegal.

And it's pristine compared to the normal toilet bowl.

The "bowl that's neurotypical."

-Bowl that's unwashed. -[Domingo] Woke bowl.

-Uh, this is not very productive. -[employees grumbling]

[Olga] Sorry, yes, you're right.

The reason it's spotless could be

there's no disabled or handicapped people, let alone employees, at this company.

And, by the way, that is your responsibility.

-Mm… -[Olga] Mm-hm.

-Good point, Olga. Very good point there. -Thank you.

Hm. Good point. Mm-hm. "Yes, good point, Olga. Good point, Olga."

What are you, best friends now? A couple girl bosses running the place?

-Excuse me, Marco? -[Marco] You heard what I said.

After all the nasty shit you called the other one, just like that?

-Wait, I'm gonna read a few cards. Wait. -[Laura] No.

Yes, yes, I'm gonna read a card. Give it to me.

These are the things that affect all of us.

For example, this one here.

Pepa blew a million-dollar contract with some clients

because she started talking trash and forgot to end the call.

And who did she blame? Of course she blamed Sales.

-Hear that? She let you take the blame. -No kidding?

Ah, how nice.

-[Laura] We get it. We get it already. -[Marco] Yes, yes!

Just wait, it gets even better.

Pepa made us go two years, two years, without a Christmas bonus

so the company would buy her that Porsche Panamera

that this idiot goes and scratches.

-You have said enough. -[Marco] No.

-You have said enough, Marco. -No, honey!

Maybe you should tell them how you put Botox in your armpits

to fight your excessive over-sweating,

due to how tense you are because you're so angry.

You never respected me, Pepa, but I don't care anymore.

Because my offer from a big, enormous company in America,

with headquarters all over the world, just came in.

Pink Lady. I'm not fired.

I'm quitting.

Oh, I see.

The little rat is abandoning the ship, just like always.

[Marco] Well, this rat is not going alone.

Sergio, will you come with me?

-No. -Shut up, please.

My first decision in my new role. Wanna be Chief of Marketing for Pink Lady?

Marco, uh…

Marco, Pink Lady hasn't given you any offers.

Pink Lady doesn't exist. I'm the one who called you before.

No, no.

They called me and gave out a firm offer.

-[mischievous music playing] -We are a headhunter agency.

Hanhunter, in Germany?

"Headhunter."

[janitor] Headhunter.

Is this about the interview I did for The Laughing Cow?

It's better, Marco.

It's a very lucrative offer.

It's a very lucrative offer, my friend.

It's six figures.

-Six figures. -[Olga] Exactly.

It would be for an American company.

Which one?

[janitor] A multinational. I can't give names.

You've gotta give me something.

[whispers] Make up a title.

Say that it's for Apple.

-A what? -Apple.

-Pink Lady. -[music fades]

[quirky sting plays]

-Why'd you do that? -'Cause you said I should give up my work.

[Marco] Because you had already made the decision.

Because I didn't believe Pepa wanted to retain me,

but you knew and didn't say anything!

She had me promise not to say anything. Did you tell her?

Wait, Pepa, your position is now vacant?

Maybe I should submit an application.

Domingo, you're lazy and old as shit. You shouldn't be the boss of anything.

-Neither should someone like you. Sorry. -Excuse me?

-You can't be chief, Olga! -[Olga] Why?!

Your head is beaten down by this moment. Just look at you.

-Explain this moment to moment shit. -You seen yourself? You cried milking!

Who cares if I cried? I'm in the fucking prime of my life!

-Barely. -This is the best fucking moment I've had!

I've never been more focused than as a mother!

If I wasn't before, it's because Domingo released all my paychecks.

Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute.

You slipped drugs to me, an elderly person with a heart condition.

And I crashed into that glass and almost killed myself, okay?

-That really happened? -No, it was probably his water bottle.

-Probably his water bottle. -What kind of drugs were these?

I think the type of drugs is not the main issue.

It happened. And I regret that I did that.

I think you know me, Pepa.

-You know my record of great conduct. -I'm not proud of it either.

It's past us.

What I do want to recall is the 37 great ideas we had

to improve the company's future through leaner operations.

Holy fuck, Domingo. Jesus, just shut your mouth, please!

Whatever you say, Patricia.

[Pepa] Patricia?

Patricia? Who's Patricia?

There's no… Patricia at this company.

No, no, no, it's a story that has nothing to do with this, okay?

[laughs nervously] Let's rewind, huh? We've all gone out of our minds.

When they said team building, it's not what Pepa and Laura had in mind.

I think it would be wise to back off,

take some deep breaths, and go back to how we were.

Right, Pepa?

Congratulations, Marco. Really. Congrats.

It is my pleasure to expel you from this company.

Out you go.

-[thuds] -[employees gasp]

[footsteps stomping]

-[door opens] -[Pepa] Olga.

-[door slams] -There he is, your very first ant.

[crickets chirping]

[dog barking distantly]

-Pepa! -Hm?

I think we need to put this company retreat on pause right now.

-Why? -Well…

Because there's still a day to go, and I fear there'll be a murder.

Laura, I have something to confess to you.

Uncle Mochales is a small company.

And when I'm bored, I like to rattle the fish tank.

And I'm very bored. Very.

There are two kinds of fish in the tropics.

Some are Nemos, and others, piranha. Which are you?

Or more importantly, what do I want you to be?

Nemo or piranha?

-Let me know. -[door opens]

[Domingo] Pepa, Pepa, Pepa!

Our ideas for optimization.

-There are still a few left. -You're very old, you have heart disease.

-Nah. -Just go to bed.

-I'm still strong as a bull. -Get your rest.

-But… [sighs] -Domingo!

[door opens, closes]

[sighs]

[poignant, pensive music playing]

"It would be nice to give a Rolex to Domingo when he retires."

"He's a great boss and a great colleague, he deserves it."

NATALIA AND ANGELINES

[poignant, pensive music continues]

-[inhales, sighs] -[music fades]

[Marco sighs]

[knocks on door]

You leaving?

[inhales] Would've been nice.

[Sergio] What would have been?

For the two of us to leave together and for Pepa to fuck off.

Sure.

It would've been nice, but if I lose this paycheck I'm screwed.

Oh, and I'm not?

Marco, headhunters get paid to bring in résumés like yours.

In a few years they'll come for yours too.

For mine. [scoffs]

I'm the guy who got a night degree working mornings in the local supermarket.

No headhunter gets paid money for the résumé I have.

-I can't pick up hundred master's degrees. -What hundred master's? I have one.

But you have two parents who are rich as hell.

The social elevator's different for men like me.

You don't need to worry, you'll do great.

Because it's very clear you have it all figured out.

[poignant music playing]

[poignant music continues]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[music fades]

Hey, grandpa. Are you lost? Can you hear me?

Huh?

[boy] Dad!

[man] Wait, Paulie, your sister has been peeing for half an hour.

-I'll be right there. -This old man can't hear me.

I can hear you.

-[man] Paulie, don't bother him. -Is your family here?

-[man] Paulie, honey. -What family?

Paulie.

Dad, the old man peed himself!

No, no. I didn't pee,

-It's just water. A bit got on my leg. -[man] Okay.

Tell Mom to start the car and grab the blanket from the trunk.

We're going to take this old man, okay?

Hey, man. Did I ask you for company?

-What is this? -Don't worry, sir. We won't leave you.

-Do you remember how you got here? -I just walked.

Suddenly, they leave you, I don't know, at a gas station,

and the car leaves and doesn't come back.

-It doesn't come back. -What are you talking about?

And what's this gas station? How old do you think I am? Lord Almighty.

-80? -[Domingo] No.

-Paulie. -109?

Better run to your dad before I kick your ass.

Poke him with the stick so he doesn't fall asleep!

-Old man like him might not wake up again. -[Domingo] What?

All right that's enough.

Hey, kid, just stop. Stop it. Stop it.

-Paulie. Hey, that's enough, sweetheart. -Get your boy away from me.

-That's enough. -Get him out of here.

[man] We're not going to leave you here.

The elderly are a testament to life. We'll be back for you.

-Yeah, yeah, a testament to life. -Let's go.

[Paulie] He looks like he could die at any second.

-[man] Not on our watch, he won't. -[exhales]

Honey, when you can, tell me how my loves are doing.

Okay? And, um, sorry I'm not with you.

But listen, I think I'm about to chosen as CEO.

And after this week, things will be much different.

To implement it will take one more effort.

[ominous music playing]

All my love.

[bird calls]

SUNDAY

Congratulations to you all, you've reached your final challenge.

START LINE

It will determine your fate.

For some of you, this path leads to glory.

-Others, unemployment. -[ominous music continues]

[man] You will ride these bikes through the forest,

reach the river, descend it by kayak,

and run to the finish line.

Where Laura,

myself, and your job will be eagerly awaiting your arrival.

Or not.

Yeah. I will.

When you first arrived here,

your jobs were something that you took for granted.

Not anymore, right?

Show me you understand.

You are nothing. Nada.

[Marco] But you're the owner, and this French company makes dog food.

[Aldo] Son, you're right.

Selling out was not a part of the dream.

I first founded this cheese company

to give people jobs, and avoid paying taxes.

And I've ruined it.

[crying]

[lilting, pensive music playing]

You can make it right.

[cries softly]

How so?

[mystical, pensive music playing]

-Be calm, mommy. -Hey, Olga.

-We're here. -Oh my, hello.

-Hi, Olga. -Take these!

Lavender helps you stay calm.

-[woman 5] Especially with a tranquilizer. -Yes. Moving is a really bad thing.

It is. Better not.

-Because your bone is sticking out. -What bone?

-It'll be fine. -Only an inch.

[Clara] You'll be fine. Don't worry.

-[woman 5] People break legs. -[woman 4] Breathe.

-Be strong for you babies. -We're going to get you out of here.

-[Olga] We better get me out of here. -[all] Yes.

Because Pepa already said I'm the next in line.

-No, Olga. No. -No, honey.

Come on, you can suffer, or you can let it go.

-[woman 4] Mm-hm. -Let go of what? Of my leg?

-No, sweet lady, no. -You must let go of the old Olga now.

-[woman 5] Yes. -[Clara] Who didn't have vaginal dryness.

-[woman 5] Or leaking nipples. -Got it.

That Olga stayed with the placenta in the hospital.

And she's not coming back.

-She is more than coming back. -[laughing]

-Poor thing. -No.

-No, no, no. -No, she's gone forever.

-No? -[woman 4] But there exists a new Olga.

Who's about to discover the secret of motherhood.

A secret that is passed mother to mother, and mother to mother.

-And mother. -Work-life balance isn't real.

-[woman 5] Not possible. -How do you three do it?

-Grandparents. -Grandparents.

-Grandparents. -Grandparents.

-God bless the lovely grandparents. -That won't work for us at all.

-My in-laws live in Murcia. -[woman 4] Shh.

Don't worry, we made a stretcher for ya.

-Hm? Let's go. -Come, come.

You're incredible ladies.

Oh, this is nothing. Wait until you have your third.

-On three! -Here we go.

-One, two, three! Up we go. -[grunting]

These mothers are incredible.

[music distorts, fades]

[Pepa] Well, you all let an old man beat you.

Impressive, huh?

As I've said, give a little effort

and you'll be a winner in business and in life.

[exhales, groans softly]

Congratulations, Domingo, our champion.

-[Domingo] Thanks. -[Pepa] Big round of applause for Domingo.

Work hard, and one day you can be like Domingo.

Attitude, perseverance, constancy.

Those three attributes are very important in this world,

fundamentals to build your working lives on.

But, Pepa, none of that is true.

All those competitions we did, but that bastard Domingo,

he wins one race and gets the trophy?

And what about all of us? We get nothing?

The algorithm is very complicated.

And I didn't design it.

Well, screw your algorithm.

To the few of you who performed well,

you should also feel proud of your performance.

And to those who didn't, I wish you luck on your next chapter.

You will need all you can get.

[tractor approaching]

[motor slowly winds down]

[Aldo] We are not Frenchies,

and I'd bankrupt us before making pet food.

And last I checked, this is still my company.

Pardon?

And my company is about the workers.

So I have to say sorry, Pepa, you've just been fired.

The Wicked Witch is gone!

-[employees cheering] -[man] Bye, Wicked Witch!

[cheering and laughing]

-[Pepa whistles] -[banging on trophy]

Quiet, you morons.

Can you really be that stupid?

This dry husk of a man has no say.

-[Domingo] But he owns the company. -Hm… No.

Hm… Yes.

He sold his portion a long, long time ago to a fund of investors.

All that's left of him is the name.

And his face on the logo,

which we've been changing to make Uncle Mochales much younger

and more like Gérard Depardieu.

Gérard Depardieu? Pepa, why don't you ever tell me anything?

Gérard Depardieu?

-Is it true or not, Mochales? -[Marco] Aldo?

-What? -Is what she's saying true?

-This was your life's dream, wasn't it? -But they offered a lot of money.

[laughing]

[tractor engine sputtering]

[tractor engine starts]

So long.

-[Pepa] Nice job, everyone. -[exhales sharply]

-As of right now you are all hereby gone. -What?

-[Pepa] Out on the fucking street. -I won the hula hoop.

I believe, Pepa, that isn't your decision anymore.

What are you talking about now?

Pepa… Already this week, Olga has shattered one of her bones.

Domingo consumed drugs.

-He could need a doctor. -No, I didn't.

-They put it in my-- -[Laura] I'm not judging, but you have.

There's a wrecked RV that came out of God only knows where,

and we've barely begun considering

the total disregard for data protection laws,

and the labor abuses,

and misuse of animals with those poor baby cows.

Do you know what a full-blown reputational crisis is?

Hm. Perhaps these three can explain it to you.

[inhales sharply] We are very angry with you, Pepa.

Philippe, Claude, Silvie, comment allez vous?

[Laura] They're doing very well.

Laura, remember,

come to my office on Monday to sign your new contract.

Oui, oui, oui. Uh… Mm…

Ap-- Aprés parle. [laughs nervously]

I was made CEO last night.

[employees gasp]

Tell me you're joking.

-[Laura] It can be over now. -That means what?

You can be over! Now.

I plan on starting a new chapter.

One in which Uncle Mochales will be seen as first in the sector.

-[muttering happily] -[Laura] Or fifth or sixth.

We'll meet ourselves wherever we're at.

And we'll be getting back on track bit by bit.

There's no need for us to hurry.

And none of that bullshit talk of us being a family.

Not to me. Your family is not my family.

I have my own damn family, and they live in Soria.

And none of you here looks a bit like them.

Our real families are out there, and that's where our hearts live.

How about this? By day we be cheese sellers,

and at night, we'll be people.

Can we be leaders in work-life balance? I say that yes, we can.

And to those who are missing family,

well, maybe it's okay to love ourselves a little bit more.

Or maybe just find the one who does.

Or the one that we can love.

[Parrondo chuckles]

[Laura] I'm not a Nemo.

You're a Nemo, I'm a piranha!

[employees cheering]

-Bravo! Bravo -[whistles]

-Hooray! Brava! -Home, here we come!

My darling!

-Ice bath. -Oh yeah, I plan on it.

-Good. -[indistinct chatter continues]

[upbeat music continues]

-I apologize. I behaved very badly. -You have been a very bad boy.

[both laugh]

-[Domingo] For sure. It's a good day! -[Angelines] Yeah.

Hey, they left us in the middle of nowhere.

-[Olga] Thank you. -[Clara] Come on, you can do it.

-Of course you can! You're wonderful. -[woman 4] Wow, it's heavy!

Thank you for everything, really. You guys are the best.

-See you in yoga, huh? -See you in yoga.

-Come ready to heal that pelvic floor. -At seven on Tuesday.

-Shanti, shanti. -[women] Shanti, shanti.

-Ahama, mohama. -"Mohama." That's a new one.

-She hasn't caught on to yoga yet, huh? -Not at all.

-Little by little, right? -Poor thing.

Sergio.

[upbeat music continues]

I just spoke to Laura,

and she said in this new chapter, I could be with anyone the same rank.

You asked her to promote me?

-To demote me. I need to relax. -[laughs]

[both laugh]

-I'll go grab our bags. -Okay.

Hello, Mommy! Mommy!

-Hi, Mommy! -Hi there, sweeties. Hello, my loves.

-What happened to your leg? -Nothing. Why do you ask?

-Well, I don't know. -Mwah!

Glad you're back.

You're taking the rest of your leave, because I can't do this on my own.

-My leave? But, what leave? -Your leave.

Well, I think I have about four weeks left. I can do it.

No, you have 13.

During which I will close the Carrefour deal.

No fucking way.

-Lu. Lu. -Okay, babies.

-Hey, whatever you need, my love, really. -Thank you.

-[Lu crying] -Oh, no. Lu, I'm here, I'm here.

Team building. What an invention.

Never again, huh?

Well, now I'm pretty sure I can accomplish whatever I set my mind to.

-What's he saying? -You didn't know that already?

I had forgotten.

You know what's better than a French salary?

-A Spanish layoff? -[both laugh]

No, even better. A Spanish early retirement.

Ah! Are you going to buy the RV?

I prefer to sail.

-Oh. -You've been sailing before?

-[laughs] -No, but it's never too late to begin.

Oh.

Goodbye, Triton of the Sea. That old dinosaur.

-[Olga] Yeah. -Yeah. [laughs]

[Olga sighs]

-The bangs? -[laughs]

-[Víctor] Baby? -You idiot.

Baby?

-Hey, hi. How are you? -I'm great.

Okay, um…

-That's it! The grayish one. -Which one now?

-Not the blender. I did it with the fork. -With what?

-I mean, it's better mashed. -With a fork?

-Mashed with a fork? -It's better for the teeth, I'm serious.

-Really? -No.

And also, what I've been looking at is… [grunts] …an osteopath.

[Olga] What for?

Well, because it's better to be safe than sorry, honey.

I thought we talked about this.

-[Olga] A podcast, you believe. -[Víctor] Didn't I tell you?

-So what? -[Olga] I tell you, you don't believe it.

[Víctor] You can learn a lot from podcasts.

-[woman] Hi, Olga. How are you? -[Olga screams]

[Víctor] Mom's here. I couldn't do it all alone.

Don't worry.

Mom, I'll take you home tomorrow,

because Olga needs to rest, and I have to listen to podcasts.
