Hey, Garcia.
Previously on "The Baker and the Beauty"...
Deering has a zero tolerance policy towards violence.
And, Amy, I am forbidding you from seeing her any more.
It's time for us to expand. This is our chance, Papi.
Asbestos?
It has to be removed.
I have prostate cancer.
- So you're gonna tell Noa? - When I'm ready.
I will be making my acting debut
in Melanie Caan's next feature.
We all know that you have a new man in your life.
I want to talk about the interview
that his ex-girlfriend released this morning.
Would you like to respond?
That publicity is gonna be bad.
That doesn't sound like a woman
who is fit to run a company, now does it?
They're putting together an emergency board meeting.
They're gonna vote to remove you as president.
My father's trying to take my company from me.
Go to the press. Tell them the truth!
I did!
Everything I said is exactly what happened.
Which one's better in bed?
Oh, that's more like it.
Enough with this silence and sad faces.
Papi...
I know that six weeks is a long time
for the bakery to be closed,
but at least the asbestos is gone, no?
Sí, sí, sí.
Okay.
And Mateo, one little meeting
with one little producer who has no soul
or inner life to recognize your amazing talent,
and you want to quit?
Is that the son that I raised?
Someone who needs constant validation
and approval from everybody?
That's exactly who you raised.
No, it's not!
The only way to fail in this life is to quit,
and we are Garcias.
We do not give up ever.
Ay, where's Noa?
Who's Noa with? Ay, ay, ay.
Do you miss her and care about her?
Then call her and tell her.
- Is he here? - He's here.
Noa, honey, you don't have to see him by yourself.
I can cancel my meeting.
Wait... haven't you canceled too many times already?
If you come with me, then it becomes business,
but if I go alone, we can keep this what this really is,
which is personal.
What, no words of wisdom for me?
You can go around the table and solve everyone's problems,
but when it comes to me, you got nothing.
Do you wanna know why, Mom? I'll tell you why.
It's because you are the problem.
Natalie.
Parents are the problem.
Hello, Father.
Hi, Bug.
Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com
Why are you trying to steal my company?
Direct as ever, that's my girl.
The truth is, I am worried about you.
A phone call would have sufficed.
You haven't answered a phone call of mine
since you were 16.
So instead you're asking the board to replace me?
Replace? No.
Liberate? Yes.
Noa, you've spent your entire adult life
focusing on this company.
It's time you spread your wings.
You have the opportunity to act.
That's your childhood dream.
You have a new relationship.
I think you want to step away.
You just can't see it.
So if I tell you you're wrong, you'll drop the whole thing?
Every time you have taken a leap...
Every single time...
It is because I pushed.
When you left home and walked out at 16...
When you expanded the brand...
So there's a method to your malice?
Well, it's hard to argue the results.
What do you want, Dad?
You definitely don't want what's best for me
'cause you don't even know what that is.
I want
to have a relationship with you.
I want you to trust me,
but since you are so determined
to keep me out of your life...
I want to protect you from yourself.
You are making mistakes,
and they are harming this company
and your future.
Three major clients gone.
Five more in jeopardy.
So if you want to keep me out of your life, that's fine,
but I am going to protect you from yourself.
It just makes me so mad...
This double standard that she has for me.
That's what happens when you're the youngest
- and the only girl. - You mean the only gay girl.
It wasn't like this before.
I'm finally being true to myself,
and my reward is being forbidden from seeing you?
Yeah, how's that going?
You joke, but she threatened to homeschool me.
You know, I'm the best behaved kid she has,
and I'm the only one who suffers consequences like this.
To be fair, I don't think
your brothers were brawlers like us.
You know, if she's gonna treat me like the bad seed,
then I might as well have some bad seed fun.
- Keep talking. - Let's ditch.
You wanna ditch?
Isn't that music festival today at Crandon Park?
Yeah, but we don't have tickets.
I'm sure there's tickets available,
- and if not, we'll just find a scalper. - Who are you?
I don't know, but there's about 30 seconds left
of this rebellion before I completely cave,
- so let's... - Oh, it's on.
- Hey, you. - Welcome back.
- How was your trip? - Exhausting.
- How are you? - Hanging in there.
- I missed you. - I miss you too.
You okay?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
I just have that meeting coming up,
and my father has a way of getting to me.
Hey, that's what parents do, right?
I was thinking, if you're not too tired later,
maybe we could do something quiet.
You know, eat in, put on a movie.
Netflix and chill?
Let me see how the meeting goes.
I'll call you when I get out, okay?
And, Daniel, it's good to hear your voice.
You too. Good luck.
Thanks.
Mateo, Mom is right. You're being ridiculous.
Yeah, you know what?
What's ridiculous is acting like
everything's going all right.
But the truth is is that my manager's
a real estate agent, and my big gigs
are on the Palm Beach bar mitzvah circuit.
Daniel, I'm 27 years old.
Do you know how many artists get discovered
by my age or later?
That's still not a reason to quit,
especially if you love it.
Yeah, but it doesn't love me back.
The longer I go holding out for something
that's never gonna happen, then the longer it takes me
to find something else to love,
something that can actually happen.
Miami PD!
Just don't quit because nothing's
happening right this moment.
All you need is one break, and you'll be back on track.
- Daniel Garcia. - That's me.
Daniel Alberto Garcia, you're under arrest
for the assault and battery of Kurt Malick.
Wait, wait, what?
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used
- against you in a court of law. - Daniel...
You have the right to an attorney.
Sir...
If you cannot afford one, one will be assigned to you...
Daniel Garcia!
How could this have happened?
The press just ambushed me.
There was this one that was harassing me, and I...
So you punched him?
Who are you and what have you done with my son?
I'm sorry. I have no excuse.
Daniel, assault and battery is a felony.
You could have a record.
Do you have any idea what that can do to your future?
Are you safe?
Yeah, I'm in a holding cell,
but if I make bail today, they'll release me,
and I don't have to see the inside of a real jail.
How much is bail?
$10,000.
$10,000?
But you only have to come up with $1,000 of that.
Oh.
Only 1,000... Let me go check my purse.
All right, all right, listen, listen.
We'll go and work on the bail, all right?
You, stay safe, okay?
Daniel has his "Food Diaries,"
so these are
Natalie's "Rebellion Diaries."
Entry one...
Amy and I are currently shopping for some snacks
because food at these concerts costs, like, a zillion dollars.
I say that like I've ever been to one though.
Nevertheless, you are right.
We're getting a bunch of junk food
because all great rebellions are fueled
off sugar and caffeine.
- Ah, anything else? - What else do you want?
I don't know.
It's so funny. It's like we could do anything.
We could go anywhere.
It's like you don't even realize
you're living on autopilot until you break the mold.
You can take the girl out of the philosophy class...
Sorry, am I being a total buzzkill?
Um, no, the opposite.
But I do think you're missing something
that all great rebels should have.
Charisma? Courage?
Colored hair.
- I love the purple. - Yeah.
- The green looks good too. - Thanks.
Happy?
It's not even lunch yet, and, already,
this is the best day of my life.
Yes.
- Miami Mayhem here we come. - Whoo!
We gotta get a bail bondsman.
Our credit is maxed out.
If we get a loan from a bondsman,
how are we gonna repay it?
It's either that or we're gonna have to use
Natalie's quinceañera money like I said before.
No, it is not fair for Natalie to have to pay
for Daniel's problems.
Well, someone in this family has to.
I'm gonna pawn my equipment.
Mateo...
It won't be as much as it would
if I were to straight up sell it,
but we need the money now before they transfer Daniel
to someplace where they shave his head
and give him a teardrop tattoo.
Have you guys ever seen the show "Oz"?
You know what happens in that show?
Listen, it won't be the whole grand, okay?
But it's gonna be something.
Mi amor, do you realize that, right now,
you are my favorite son in the family?
When you put it that way...
it gets me scared for all of us.
My father helped me start this business.
He gave me a loan and he said,
"Here, Bug, go play."
And all of a sudden I had a company...
And, every day, people would ask me,
"Is this right? Is this wrong?"
And, to tell the truth,
I had no business running a company.
I was just a kid, but I knew what I wanted,
and I built this brand.
I felt every fabric.
I approved every design,
all the while asking myself, "What do I want to say?"
And as our company grew, that became our message.
We told women, "Your voice matters."
Our brand tells women that they are capable enough
and strong enough to run their own companies.
And that is why we are successful.
Daniel Garcia!
You're out.
Garcia.
Your girlfriend's over there. Get out of here.
Vanessa.
You... you bailed me out?
No.
Absolutely not.
I got Kurt to drop the complaint.
It's over. You're free.
Oh, my God. Thank you.
- Thank you so much for this. - It's fine.
It was the right thing to do, but now I'm late.
- Come on. I'll drive you home. - Yeah.
- Hello. - Hey, it's me.
Daniel... Daniel, are you okay?
We're working on your bail right now.
We don't need it.
Vanessa got Kurt to drop the complaint.
I'm a free man.
What?
So we don't need the bail?
And there won't be any kind of record?
And you're with Vanessa right now?
She's driving me home.
- Are you safe? - Yeah.
What are you doing?
I have a showing I have to make.
Whoa, whoa. Forget... my phone's dead.
We're on our way. I'll see you guys soon.
Sounds like old times.
- Where are we going? - A shortcut.
See? That's the way out.
- That's not an exit. - Okay, stop.
V, I don't think that's it. I'm just trying to help.
Well, you're not helping. You're stressing me out.
Wait, watch out! Wait!
Don't say a word.
- Oh, my God, we should. - Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
Feels like I'm living on some strange, alien planet.
There's definitely still a skeeze factor to it though.
She left school grounds?
And she hasn't been back?
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
No...
Rest assured, this won't happen again.
Thank you. Okay, bye-bye. Bye.
Natalie?
_
- No. - Mari...
- No. - _
_
Rafael.
I can see your typing's improved.
Really.
- Key Biscayne? - Mm-hmm.
Where the music festival is.
And how do you think she got there?
I'll give you one guess. Amy.
She's with Amy.
Even though we forbid her to be with that girl, she's with Amy.
Actually, you did.
And she thinks she can fool me?
Mira, I was the queen of getting away with things.
Mari, calm down, okay?
We're talking about Natalie. She's a National Merit Scholar.
Do you think she doesn't know how to turn off her phone?
She wants us to know where she is.
This is her idea of rebelling...
Going to a concert on a Friday afternoon.
Oye, don't you see how lucky we are?
No, I don't see how lucky we are.
My daughter is getting into fights.
She's cutting school.
What is this about, Mari?
I know this is not about the fact that Amy is a girl
because you don't have a bigoted bone in your body.
We're her family.
If we don't protect her and make her feel safe,
she's gonna turn away from us and find people who do.
Okay?
I didn't call this meeting here today
to question my daughter's capabilities.
They are peerless.
I called this meeting because I do feel
I need to question her commitment.
I wanna talk to you about the rumors
that your next move will be into acting.
Those rumors are true.
I can confirm that I will be playing
the lead in Melanie Caan's new feature.
That is amazing.
The one shooting in Morocco, right?
Yes.
Morocco.
Shooting there for three months acting,
which is a childhood dream of hers.
I also called this meeting because I feel myself
compelled to question her judgment.
Now, we all know that Noa has a new man in her life.
After all, that is the entire reason
you are all sitting here today,
but what you might not know was that my daughter
now approves of violence.
I can assure you that hanging out
with known felons is not good for the bottom line.
Ladies and gentlemen...
my daughter will always be the face of this brand.
That's given, but one thing is certain.
She can no longer run this company.
She must be replaced.
Hey, Daniel, it's me.
I'm really worried about you. Can you please call me back?
This is a nightmare.
Your dad was right.
Daniel was arrested for assault and battery.
Oh, God.
I'm gonna lose this company. My boyfriend's in jail.
The press is gonna have a field day with that.
My father painted me as distracted and disinterested
in that room, and you know what?
He's right.
I took my eye off the ball, and now I'm gonna pay.
You could have gone with the tow truck.
What was I gonna do?
Leave you by the side of the road?
Must have been tempting.
You know me better than that.
Hold on, how about your showing?
Gone! The minute we hit those spikes.
- I'm sorry. - That was your fault.
I feel like every time I see you,
I've got something new to apologize for.
Yep.
Our breakup is just the gift that keeps on giving.
Okay, how about this? No more sorrys.
I don't think either of us was prepared
for the Noa Hamilton hurricane.
Okay?
I'm not blaming her, but, when you think about it,
a good amount of the chaos is because of who she is.
I'm just saying.
Like, for example, when you break up with someone,
you stalk them on Facebook.
Me, I see you two everywhere I look.
It's been a challenge for the whole family.
Natalie even got suspended from school.
Suspended?
- Is she okay? - Yeah.
No.
My mom and her are down each other's throats
about the whole Amy thing.
Well, I'm glad they finally know.
What... wait.
When did you know?
Oh.
About a year ago, she was really freaked out,
and I asked her why, and she said
she thought she was going to hell.
- Why didn't you tell me? - I wanted to.
But I promised her I wouldn't.
She's like a little sister to me.
I know you guys never got that, but...
I really did consider you family.
I always knew that...
and I appreciated it.
Thank you.
- Are you hungry? - Mm.
Come on.
Let me buy you lunch as a thank you
for saving me from prison.
Okay.
It's like... do I even look at these messages
or do I just ignore them?
Will you enjoy the show more
knowing what they say or not knowing?
I have to look. Otherwise, my mind will just torture me.
My God, Daniel was arrested.
What?
I don't know, but...
Amy, I'm having the best time of my life, seriously...
But he's your brother, and you wanna go home.
Come on.
- Do you hate me? - No, I... of course not.
I don't hate you.
In fact, the opposite.
I love you.
Come on, let's hit the road before traffic gets bad.
Oh, okay.
Scotch, neat please.
Lewis.
Thanks for coming.
I assume from the deference in your tone,
you realize I've already won.
Thank you.
I have cancer, Gideon... Prostate.
Noa doesn't know.
We think we caught it early, but...
I'm sorry to hear that.
The differences between you and me
could fill a stadium...
But we have one thing in common.
I said before that she believes there's humanity in you.
I'm rolling the dice that she's right.
So what are you proposing?
Come on, Gideon.
You don't wanna run Noa Corp.
What is this all really about, anyway?
Regulators in Singapore have frozen construction
of my new high-rise.
I'm having a hard time finding banks
who are willing to fund me on a short-term cash basis.
I'm facing losses. You know my motto.
"Never a loss in any quarter."
I'll name Mark Logan as CEO, and in return,
he's agreed to let me use the Noa Corp balance sheet
to guarantee my debt.
Why make a deal with him?
Make a deal with me.
Lewis...
I already hold the winning hand.
But at what price?
Having reflected on my daughter's words earlier,
I do believe that she has awakened to the neglect
that these outside distractions have caused.
I would like to withdraw my motion
and suggest that she should, in fact,
remain in control of her own company.
- Oh, my God. - Lewis!
Fancy meeting you here.
You know, you'd already won the board over, right?
You didn't need to pass out.
Well, you know me.
Leave everything on the table...
Or, in my case, under the table.
The doctor says you passed out because of the flu.
He says that's common in cancer patients.
I was gonna tell you.
You didn't think I could handle it?
No, it's not that.
We were in a street fight.
Your father was gunning for you.
Lewis...
No, don't say that's not important.
To be as influential and meaningful as you are, Noa,
that is everything that I've devoted my life
to helping you become.
Yes, I know, and I've appreciated
every minute of that effort,
but no company or fight
are a shadow of what you mean to me.
I know.
Okay.
Besides... I'm gonna be just fine.
Yes, you are.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
Do you know why?
Because as of now, you're gonna let me take care of you.
Well, don't go overboard.
I'm sorry, but you have no choice.
The company's safe.
Besides, I'm looking forward
to bossing you around for a change.
- Mmm. - Good, right?
- So good. - Mm.
- Did you know this place? - Nope.
That's one of the great things about Miami...
Surprises everywhere you go.
I like your videos.
I mean, the first one at Piñones...
If I never see that again, it would be okay.
But the second one with Betsi...
It was really good.
Thank you.
Mateo said you might try doing it as your career?
He did?
I don't know.
My parents think it's stupid.
You can't listen to them, Daniel.
I always appreciate their point of view,
but I always thought you were meant for more than the bakery.
You did?
I only said that to you, like, a million times.
- Did you ever listen to me? - I did.
I just thought you were saying that because, you know,
we were together, and you felt like you had to.
Okay, first of all, I never said anything
just because we were together,
and, second of all, me doing something
because I felt like I had to?
Do you know me?
No, fair enough, fair enough.
This is nice.
Right?
Don't act surprised.
It's not like we had four miserable years together.
No, there was a lot that was good.
It's nice to hear you say that.
I mean, I know Noa Hamilton is not the reason
why you turned me down...
And I know she isn't really the reason why we broke up...
But it's nice to hear you say
you don't think those four years were wasted.
V, I'll never think that.
Okay?
- Maybe I should get the check. - I should get the car in.
This day started off so bad.
You really came through for me.
Who is that?
I think that's Natalie and Amy.
Dude, I'm telling you that's Daniel in Vanessa's car.
- But why? - I don't know.
- I should get going. - Yeah.
I would say "say hi to your parents for me," but...
you know.
Hey, my dad always loved you.
As opposed to your mom.
You know Cuban mothers. No one's ever good enough.
Hmm. Not even Noa Hamilton?
Let's just say she's not high on anyone's list right now.
Oh.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Sort of.
- Good night. - Good night.
Actually, can I ask you for one more favor?
Time to face the salsa music.
Any regrets?
That I didn't do something like this sooner.
Also... I love you too.
Ay, thank God you're home.
Oh, my baby. Where were you?
We hit a couple obstacles, but we're good.
Mm.
The point is that you're out, and this nightmare is over.
- Yes. - You okay?
Yeah.
How was school?
Vanessa, what are you doing here?
The real question is, what are you doing taking apart this room?
You have a song to write... A follow-up to "Calle Ocho."
Vanessa, I told you it's over.
I don't care what you said. You are a temperamental artist.
I'm the one with her head on straight.
- Vanessa... - Mateo, you owe me.
- Put these back on. - I can't.
Sure you can.
- Just stop it. - Not a chance.
- No. - Yes.
Mom, I really don't want to fight.
- Natalie... - And I know everything
about my appearance says otherwise,
- and I'm sorry... - Natalie...
That I cut school, okay?
But for the first time in my life, I'm just happy
- for the first time... - Natalie Garcia, stop.
I know you think I've been overreacting,
but you have to understand... You're my daughter.
I know I've told you how close I was to your grandmother...
but what I didn't tell you was that before she died,
we got into a terrible fight...
And the last thing I said to her
was that... she meant nothing to me...
And that she wasn't even my mother.
And so when I had you, I swore I would never let
anything come between us.
But then, you were so smart and talented,
and I thought, "What do I have to offer this girl?"
And then I thought, "At least I can help her navigate love."
But then you fell in love with Amy.
And I overreacted,
and I pushed you away.
And here I have this amazing,
beautiful girl
who must look at me and say,
"I have nothing in common with her.
I'm nothing like her."
Mom, no.
Okay, sure, there are a lot of ways
that we're not too similar, but all of the good parts
about me are from you.
Okay?
Just don't tell Dad that.
But I look at other kids, and I think how lucky I am
that you're my mom.
Thank you, baby.
And I don't think you should stop seeing Amy
if she makes you happy.
- Yeah. - Thank you, Mom.
- Of course. - Thank you.
But you're still grounded for cutting school,
and don't think I'm gonna be soft on you
because we've had this little chat.
Oh, I know.
I have to.
I love you.
I've arranged for the financing.
It's contingent on you resigning from my board,
but you shouldn't have any more problems
or incur any losses.
And so we both win.
Were you really gonna put Mark Logan in charge
Or did you design this whole thing to force my hand?
I designed it so we'd never have to find out
the answer to that question.
Can't things just be simple between us, Dad?
Why didn't you just ask for help?
Bug, everyone parents in their own way.
And I think, one day,
you'll appreciate the way I am.
And, in any case, at least I knew enough
to get the hell out of your life
and let Lewis take care of you.
Don't you dare compare yourself to him.
I'll see you soon, Bug.
Hello, Daniel?
Where are you?
Uh, stay there. I can come to you.
Noa, are you okay? How'd it go?
Oh, my God. You should have seen him.
He showed no remorse, no consideration
for what he just put me through.
Honey, I'm so sorry, but why am I not surprised?
It's like... he gets himself into trouble,
concocts this crazy plan for me to help him,
and then he acts like he's doing me a favor?
It took all my willpower not to make a scene in there.
Well, then, damn your willpower
because I would've paid cash money to see you do that.
Yeah, but that's what he would've wanted.
And I'm better than that because you raised me.
And I'm much more your daughter than I am his.
Which is why I'm gonna ask you to bring your old man
some penne pomodoro from Lordo's, okay?
- 'Cause the food here sucks. - Sure.
First I gotta go see Daniel.
- You wanna talk about it? - What's there to talk about?
You were sick, and I didn't even notice,
so... that tells me everything I need to know.
- Hey. - Hi.
What happened with the board members?
I won.
I told you it was gonna work out.
Yeah.
I've been trying to reach you all day.
I was in jail.
It's a long story. I don't even know where to begin.
- Don't. - What?
I think we need to stop seeing each other, Daniel.
How can you just say that?
Daniel, when two people are right for each other,
they make each other's lives better,
and since we've been together, your family's fighting,
the bakery's in trouble, you got arrested,
I almost lost my company.
It's like... how many more people
are gonna have to get hurt before we get the message?
Oh.
So that's it?
One bad week and it's over.
If I were anyone else, no, but I'm not, Daniel.
It's so funny you said that.
In all the time I've known you...
This is the first time you look ordinary to me.
