IGLESIAS SOAP FACTORY
[theme music playing]
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Synced & corrected by kinglouisxx www.addic7ed.com
[man on TV] The fire at the Iglesias factory burned through the night
until the morning, resulting in 35 injuries and three deaths.
The cause hasn't been determined. Authorities are still investigating.
Dad. How are you doing?
Are the drugs working?
[man mumbling]
He says he can't feel anything.
How long is the recovery process?
The doctors said it will take a year.
- A year? - At the very least.
So they can do reconstructive surgery,
and for the burns to heal.
Dad.
I'm going to make sure you smile again.
[man mumbling]
He says he wants you to take care of the business in the meantime.
What do I know about leading Iglesias' Industries?
I'm sorry to do this, but...
Hi, Uncle. It's Isabel.
Uncle, I'm sorry, I know this is not the best time, but...
Who can I talk to about the team's expenses, then?
[man mumbling]
He said this is not a good time.
Yeah, it really isn't.
[man mumbling]
He asked if you've heard from Chava.
- Hi, how are you? - [women] Hi.
Sorry to interrupt, but...
I was wondering if you've seen Mr. Chava Iglesias?
- [women] No, we haven't seen him. - No.
Hi, how are you? Good afternoon.
- No, thank you. We don't have change. - Thanks.
Hi, how are you? Sorry to bother you, but...
I was wondering if you've seen Mr. Chava Iglesias?
No.
Yes, but we haven't seen him.
- And you haven't heard from him? - No.
- Ouch. - What?
Is it the baby? Are you okay?
No. But it smells like ass here.
The governor is an asshole.
I'm going to sue the crap out of him.
Don't get started with that.
Are you kidding me? What do you mean?
He kicked us out of our stadium, not giving a shit about our contract.
- He warned us. - No. The law says he can't
kick us out just like that.
But politics allow him to do so.
The land is owned by the state,
the stadium was built with the state's resources,
and he manages the state's police. Let it go.
- So, how do we make a comeback? - By playing.
This is how soccer goes.
Don't try to change anything, and focus on winning.
What is that?
It's a lucky charm from my grandma in Granada.
For the baby, to ward off bad vibes.
But why are you giving it to me right now?
I don't know.
I feel the baby will bring us luck,
and in eight months, he will get us out of here.
I know.
But you know what? Due to the current situation...
we should project an image of austerity.
I... I feel it's a little...
- too big. - Right.
- Don't you think? - Yes, you're right.
It's too much.
But, I mean, I can hang it in the car.
- Hang it in the rearview mirror. - Okay, yes, I will.
- Sure, I will put it there. - Okay...
- I have to go. - Yeah, me, too.
Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! You hit me in the balls, you moron!
Hey, shut up. Let me sleep.
You hit my right nut.
[man] Shut up.
This isn't so bad.
My neck hurts so much.
I'm not going to play well.
Who's going to care? It's the 2nd Division.
You really think those briefs will bring you luck?
I broke a bad streak with these last time, so...
But that was in the match we lost, so, they're bad luck now.
[man] Gentlemen.
Okay... We already talked about what we have to do.
Just remember that the Chupacabras' pressing is weak,
so, we have to focus on the laterals...
Hey, guys.
We will be on the field in five minutes. Focus, goddamn it.
Hey, Rafa. I'm sorry,
but it's hard to focus after traveling through half the country by bus.
I understand.
I know this hasn't been an easy road. Climbing the divisions...
was difficult.
But... we're doing well in the matches.
We're keeping up our style.
Really? My style gets even better when I get paid on time.
With the increase of the tortilla's price,
- it's even worse. - I don't care about tortillas.
- Rafi, I need to pay rent. - I'll see what I can do.
But for now,
for God's sake, hold on to your balls,
take that anger that you have,
and let's go kick these assholes' butts.
- Okay? - Yes.
Cuervos!
[all cheer]
Come on!
Hey, sir!
[crowd cheering]
[whistle blows]
Well done!
Yes!
MARIANO MATAMOROS STADIUM GALEANA 1 VISITORS 2
This stadium sucks.
[knock on door]
Come in.
- Hi, coz. - Hi, coz.
- How are you? How's Uncle Luis doing? - He's hanging in there.
- I'm going to go see him soon. - He's going to be okay. Don't worry.
We're going to overcome this, coz.
- So, tell me. - Well...
I came because...
we're behind on...
the players' payroll. Super late.
We can't give you more money, Isa.
No, coz. Maybe you didn't know,
but Uncle Luis agreed to help me get through this season.
Yeah, but the factory hadn't burnt, and we didn't have cash flow issues.
- Where should I put it? - Leave it there. I will hang it later.
Look, Juanito.
JP. I don't think you understand.
Or I'm not explaining it right. Let me tell you.
Look...
We need...
six million, just to pay the players' salaries.
I get 300 from the cable TV deal,
100 from sponsors, 50 from ticket sales, and luckily I managed
to convince Adidas to make our T-shirts.
So, you kept Chava's design?
Yeah. Don't even tell me about it.
Turns out street vendors prefer this model.
I swear, I did so much for these.
I ate so many pastries from Delicias' Bakery,
I ate a ton of Chilchota cheese, but they didn't want to sponsor us.
I did all I could.
I need money.
Isa... Look.
We're barely assessing the damages caused by the fire.
We might have to use cash
from the construction company to stay afloat.
And I don't even want to begin with the lawsuits we're going to face.
JP, I don't think you're understanding. So, once again...
I am above all of that. Okay? I am above...
No, Isa. You're not understanding.
We can't give more money to Cuervos.
Look, Harelip...
I humored you when you wanted to act like Mother Teresa.
Don't think that because you read that stupid book,
Rich Dad Poor Dad, now you're going to impress me.
- Give me the damned money! - Your dad left you a ton of money.
- Pay it with your inheritance. - "Pay it with your inheritance."
There's nothing I can do.
LOST
- What is this? What are you doing? - Nothing.
- Looking for Mr. Iglesias. - You have to ask permission.
- Okay, okay! - What did I tell you? Goddamn it!
- So, what do you think about it? - I'm going to blackmail the governor.
No, dude. I meant about the baby. Hope the governor isn't involved in that.
I don't know.
You should have it. It would be awesome.
You're only saying that so you have someone to share your misery with.
Yeah, that's what friends are for.
I don't think this is a good time to be pregnant.
Well... It's never a good time to be pregnant,
- it's never a good time to be a mom. - It's a full-time job.
If your dream is to dedicate your life to Cuervos FC,
and nothing else, I don't see how you could do both,
without messing up both things.
- You're going to mess up as a mom anyway. - But what can I do?
Get an abortion?
That or build a play center in your office,
get a nanny,
so she can be there all the time. Change your convertible for a mom van,
get stretch marks, and...
Your boobs fall down,
your husband doesn't touch you anymore.
You become a driver for ungrateful kids
who only love you because you have an iPhone.
- I mean, but it's unconditional love. - Yes.
- You see yourself in them all the time. - Sure...
Yes...
Is that you...
Chava Iglesias?
Call him Salvador, dude.
You have to address him properly.
Yeah, but his dad is also dead, and his name was Salvador Iglesias...
He could get confused.
Salvador Iglesias, the son.
Junior.
- Junior sounds more like afterlife. - Junior would be best.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Is that you...
Salvador Iglesias Junior?
Oh, shit.
- Oh, shit! - Oh, shit! Let's go!
I want my stadium back.
- No. - I will report your offshore account.
I would charge you for back taxes.
Then you wouldn't be able to use our fiscal infrastructure.
I would use the Villalobos'.
Then we will support the other candidate
in the next elections.
I can't give you the stadium.
I need a first class team.
- What else do you want? - Pay for my players' salaries, then.
- In exchange for shares. - Ah, you want shares?
I only have a year left as a governor. I have to think of my future.
Right.
Okay, so, we're going to support the other candidate in the next elections.
With what money?
You need my money for payroll.
Are you okay? I don't know where you are, but reply.
Chava, we're worried for you. We're looking for you everywhere.
What's going on, Salvador?

[speaking Mandarin]
[in Spanish] Mr. Chen congratulates you.
You achieved a lot with very little,
but he says you shouldn't focus on winning.
We're going to try
and be as professional as we can.
We're only going to focus on playing well.
[woman speaking Mandarin]
[in Spanish] Okay. Good. Don't focus on winning.
Right, because our rivalry with Iglesias could blind us.
We're only going to focus on playing well.
[woman speaking Mandarin]
[in Spanish] Yes, don't focus on winning.
Did anything get lost in translation?
Don't focus on winning.
Rafi...
I hate talking about this, but...
When?
Look, Isabel is working on it as we speak.
Tell her to hurry up. I have a lot of debt.
What? So, you haven't been saving?
I don't save. I spend it as soon as I get it.
Cuau is the one who saves, he scores and all of that.
- I spend it on coke and whores. - Hey, you idiot.
Don't forget I'm your coach. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
You're my friend first.
It's just that...
with everything that happened in the factory...
Which factory? What?
Uncle Luis got burned from head to toe,
JP took over control, Isabel went to ask him for money,
and do you know what he said? There's no money.
Same as the governor. They're so ungrateful...
But she doesn't have to ask. You're the richest in Nuevo Toledo.
Yeah, dude, but it's not stuffed under her bed.
It's invested, in the stock market, property... She doesn't have cash.
But don't worry. Isabel is going to get it, she's great.
[Hugo] Sir.
- Sir. Excuse me. - What?
Sorry. I thought you were someone else, but...
Rest.
- Hey. - [man] What?
Turn on the game.
[man] Which one?
- The Cuervos one. - Go watch it at home.
What?
But I don't have cable TV.
- Why do you think I come here? - Yeah, we all come here for that.
We want to see it.
Isn't it true that we come to see the match?
Fine, hold on.
- And bring some snacks. - Welcome to all
who watch us on channel 244 through cable TV.
And, of course, to all of those
who dusted off their AM radio to hear this in the rest of the country.
[cheering]
It's not the same stadium my dad brought you to, right?
Oh, right. This stadium was also from the Cuervos, right?
Yeah.
This is where they won and moved up to 1st.

Salvador. Nice to meet you.
So...
Do you like soccer?
[man whistles]
[man] When is it going to start?!
This asshole.
What?
What? No. I mean, the players should have come out already.
- Why aren't they out? - [man] Yeah. What's up with that?
You have ten minutes to get your players on the field.
Otherwise I'm going to consider it done.
No.
Please, I'm sure there's a good reason why they haven't come out.
I will go check. Be right back.
Stay with him, so he doesn't cancel it.
Okay. Look, the only thing that I...
What the hell are you waiting for?
[man] We're not going to play.
Who said that?
What do you mean?
No, we're not.
Okay. Let's see.
I know 2nd Division is not what we wanted,
but we need to be professional,
and we need to win
to get back to 1st.
We can't win if we don't play.
But professional players get paid, right?
Okay, look, Cuau.
Everyone, I know, and I'm working on it. I promise I will get it done.
But how? Because...
Your cousin said no, and the governor also said no.
Change and get out there right now.
[indistinct conversation]
How funny.
The dressing room door is stuck.
We're going to need a few minutes. The stadium needs maintenance.
Five minutes, that's all.
Okay, I'm going to call the locksmith.
I'll go with her.
Guys!
If you don't get out there we will lose.
Where's your pride? Your team spirit?
Tony, come with me.
Come with me, hold my hand.
If we want to move up, we can't lose any points, Cuau.
- What do we do? - Request an extension.
- Let's go. - Hurry up. Come on.
[man on PA] Dear audience,
due to the league's rules,
the Cuervos have lost the match.
Please, head towards the exits.
What the hell? It's only been three minutes.
Hey, let's watch the Tarantulas.
[man 1 on radio] For the first time in my career,
I saw a team lose by default.
- Had you ever seen that? - [man 2] Never.
What a disaster. The Cuervos
lose matches without even coming out to the field.
- What the hell? - Can you believe it?
[Rafael] Are you okay?
How the hell did Cuau know that I asked JP and the governor for money?
- What the hell, Rafael? - I'm sorry, Isabel.
I wanted to let them know that you're doing all you can.
I know, but you shouldn't tell them what I tell you at home.
You're not one of them anymore.
- Hold on. Your nose is bleeding. - What?
- Isabel, you know what? - I'm fine.
This is too much stress for you. You need to rest.
I said, I'm fine.
No, Isabel. I will take care of the team,
you take care of the baby.
The baby can go to hell!

- Did you like it? - Did you buy it with what I'm paying you?
I guess.
Listen to me really well, please.
If someone hears that we know each other,
not only am I going to lose everything,
but you won't get your monthly check. Is that what you want?
Look, I know that technically we should be even.
I helped you say that Salvador is your son's father, but it's not true.
But to be honest...
you should have been more grateful, don't you think?
What else do you want?
What do you want?
Do you want to have coffee with me someday?
That's not going to happen.
It could be at my house.
- Or yours. - That's not going to happen.
It's so beautiful, honey!
By the way,
we need your ID.
An ID? Why? It's a wedding.
The president will be there. There will be security everywhere.
- I don't have any. - Seriously?
Yeah. I don't have any. They expired,
and the new ones went to my Argentine friend's apartment.
Let's go get it on the way.
Here. Call your friend and tell her we're going to pick it up.
I can't.
Why not?
- Just go without me, Salvador. - Do you have legal or immigration issues?
- No. Just go without me. - No.
We need to be honest with each other.
To start, where are you from?
From Peru.
So, why did you tell me you were Colombian when we met?
Because I was born in Peru, but I grew up in Colombia.
I heard you say you grew up in Argentina.
- [sighs] - Who are you?
- You already know who I am, Salvador... - Let's start from the beginning.
What's your name?
- You already know my name. - No. Your real name.
- Mary Luz. - Is that the name on your passport,
or the one you created?
- Mary Luz! - Where are you, Mary Luz?
In Peru, in Argentina, in Colombia, in Panama, where?
I didn't know where to go.

You know what? It's not necessary. Seriously.
You're so impulsive sometimes.
Yeah, but what I said yesterday...
It wasn't just out of impulse.
I can't have this baby.
But we've barely been trying for a few months.
- I know. - And now you're pregnant.
So, what changed?
Why don't you want to have it?
Because I'm finally living my dream.
What? Being the team's president?
Look, Chabela.
Millions of women
are mothers and they also work. Why couldn't you do that?
I never dreamed of being a mother.
But we both wanted this.
We wanted a family.
I know. I wanted it.
I was willing to do it for you.
I'm still willing. But now...
It's just that now...
I have the chance
to be taken seriously.
To prove that I can also be a great president.
I want to prove that I can be a great president,
but I can't get the team out of 2nd Division
if I'm dealing with a pregnancy, and giving birth.
And... you've already told me that I need to slow down, but I can't.
Okay.
What if...?
What if we get organized?
I will take care of the baby, and you will take care of the team.
I know you would be a wonderful dad.
But a baby needs its mom. It needs a mom who is present.
You know me. If I stay quiet and I have the baby,
eventually, I will let it out on the baby.
Yeah.
It's not fair.
- Yeah. - But we still have time.
Yeah. I know.

He's here.
- Yes. What is he saying? - That you need to take care of his sons.
No...
He... He didn't have any kids.
His wife.
He didn't have a wife.
His girlfriend.
I think... Maybe you connected...
with another Chava. I don't know.
He didn't have a girlfriend.
But I appreciate you,
and all your... company. I... better leave.
I want to have a special meeting because we will have to sell some
of Iglesias Industries' assets.
- Isabel, what the hell? - What? Cousin,
- you suggested this. - So, you seriously...
You want to throw away your assets for this team?
- Soccer was only a hobby for your dad. - No, it was more than a hobby.
Besides, I plan to recover it all when we get back to 1st.
Did you know you need a majority of shareholders to do so?
Chava isn't here to support you.
No, but Mary Luz is.
- And she will be on my side. - But they won't go back to 1st.
- The chances are 19-to-1. - Three-to-one. My players are 1st quality.
- Isa, what are you trying to prove? - Nothing.
I've made a decision.
And that's it. So, we're doing it.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Great. - Let me ask my dad how to do it.
I suppose it will take some time.
- I'm sure Vanessa can represent Chava. - Yes, okay. Let's do that.
Got it.
So, this is your idea of a neutral place?
We're on strike, boss.
I can't go anywhere near the Cuervos' facilities.
I ordered a beer for you.
I have the money.
- So, the strike is over. - Great.
That means I can check my balance, then?
No. I don't "have it" have it.
I have it, but...
If you consider a loose definition of "having."
I'm getting a loan from my assets,
so, we can...
Wait. Sorry...
the only kind of paper I can accept is this one,
or it could be a check to my name.
Waiter. The check, please.
Listen to me... Aztec pride.
I'm up to here with your bullshit.
Do you think I already forgot that you screwed us over in 1st?
Not even for a second.
You're on the list of people I am going to kill.
But we're going to solve that when we get out of this damned division.
So, listen to what I'm saying:
I already did my part, now it's your turn.
Get everyone together, start training,
and beat the shit out of Félix on Saturday.
And if you do some bullshit like this again,
I swear to God that I will send you to 3rd Division in Nicaragua.
Do you understand?
- Do you understand? - Yes, boss.
Good.
I'm glad.
I'll see you in the field.
