AN ORIGINAL VIX SERIES

SE LLAMABA PEDRO INFANTE

Pedro, Pedro, Pedro!

Pedro, Pedro!

- Pedro, no! - You fucking musician.

Pedro!

Coming!

Coming!

Pedro.

What are you doing here?

I'm dying without you,

come home.

So you can tell me more lies?

Forgive me.

I did it because I love you.

Let's just forget about it.

Sleep with whoever you want, Pedro,

but come home,

I won't bother you again with my jealousy.

I won't say anything to you again.

Are you crazy?

Yes!

Crazy in love with you.

I can't stand this pain anymore.

These months have seemed

like centuries to me.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't give you a child,

but I can take care of you, Pedro.

I can take care of your things, please,

let me, OK?

Please, let me.

We'll talk when you're sober.

No, don't treat me like one of your whores.

I didn't come here to harass you.

I just want you to know

that if you don't come back to the house,

I can no longer live.

- Do you understand? - Don't be foolish.

I won't keep you any longer.

Goodbye, Pedro.

Ma'am,

I'm going to see my mother

and I'll be back tonight.

I heard you.

Why you're still standing there like a pole?

The doctor said to take just one.

They're going to hurt you.

I'm not a fool!

Please, take care of yourself.

Just leave me.

Like everyone else.

Swear to me

That even if a long time goes by

You will never forget the moment

When I met you

Look at me

There's nothing deeper

Or greater in this world

Than the love I gave you

Are you so needy?

He's just a boy.

That guy wants to take advantage of you.

As soon as you look old,

he'll leave you for someone younger.

If you want to fly high,

never doubt what you and I can achieve together.

Marry me, sweetie.

We'll have a big house to fill up with kids.

Having a child is

the most beautiful thing in the world,

but it's not the way to hold onto a man.

We're going to be parents!

And how can I believe you?

All you've done is lie to me.

Forgive me!

You've made me out to be an idiot all these years!

I gave my life for you!

No, Pedro.

Pedro, no!

No, Pedro!

DEBUT LUPITA TORRENTERA

THE GODDESS OF FLAMENCO

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's time for what we've all waited for.

With you now,

the idol of Mexico,

Pedro Infante!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am, ma'am!

Oh, my God, ma'am!

Hello?

Pedro.

What is it?

It's urgent.

Hold this.

Hello?

- Sir. - Piedad.

- She hasn't woken up yet. - How is she?

She won't wake up.

María Luisa!

María Luisa, honey.

María Luisa, wake up!

María Luisa!

Honey, what did you do?

Piedad, please, make some coffee.

- Yes, sir. - Hurry, to the bedroom.

Oh, sweetie.

Sweetie.

Wake up. Wake up, sweetie!

Sweetie, hey!

Open your eyes.

María Luisa, open your eyes!

María Luisa, please react!

Please, sweetie.

Open your eyes, María Luisa, open your eyes!

I'm here, it's me.

María Luisa!

Honey, why are you doing this nonsense?

María Luisa, wake up, open your eyes!

María Luisa.

That's it, breathe.

Open your eyes!

Breathe, breathe, everything will be fine.

Everything's going to be OK. It's me.

Open your eyes.

Don't leave me, sweetie, don't leave me.

I'm here with you, don't leave me.

- Pedro? - Yes, it's me.

It's me, please, honey.

It's over, it's almost over.

Piedad!

Piedad, call the doctor quickly!

Wake up.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

Pedro, please, anything, any time,

don't hesitate to call me.

Thank you very much.

Piedad, can you accompany the doctor, please?

Sure.

This way.

Finally.

Pedro?

No.

He left for the studio hours ago.

What were you thinking, Chunda?

Chuy.

Yes,

your brother.

The only person you can't fool.

Are you going to tell me what happened

or do I have to slap it out of you?

What are you doing here?

I'm just here on a trip,

getting the lay of the land,

getting some air, you should do the same.

And you're going to join me.

You're going to help me get a boyfriend in the capital

or you can introduce me to some artist,

what do you say?

Well, apparently,

archangel Gabriel and the Divine Child

sent me to help you rise from the ashes.

Tell me everything.

ONE MONTH LATER

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, how can we help you?

Is this the aviation school?

Yeah, this is it.

I want to sign up.

Yes, of course.

The requirements and group schedules

are over there.

Schedule?

I was looking for something

a little bit more flexible.

I don't have much time,

you know the rhythm of cinema is very absorbing.

No, actually, I don't know.

And don't worry about the money.

Come here.

I'll take you to the room for people who are in a hurry

and need flexibility.

Thank you.

Look,

this plane belonged to a very rich banker.

A very busy man who was in a hurry.

This one was from a very important politician,

he was running for president.

He didn't have the time either.

And you taught them?

No, my friend.

They went to a school where they cater to them.

They took classes for important people.

I get it.

And that one?

That was Captain Moreno's,

the most disciplined and brave pilot I've ever met.

The plane failed,

it happens to the best.

He died, but he saved the lives

of those flying with him.

Do you still want to take classes?

The sustainment is the mixture of pressures.

This is my favorite gadget

because when you lose north,

this will tell you where to go.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the moment we've been waiting for

has arrived.

With you now,

the idol of Mexico,

Pedro Infante!

What are you doing drinking at this hour, Chuy?

Says little miss healthy.

Very early.

Oh, no, just look at you.

You don't get it, Chuy.

If you've come to talk to me again about your sorrows,

that you lied to your husband,

or that you can't be a mother,

I'll pull your hair out, María Luisa.

You're a fool.

Don't talk to me like that.

No, you are, Güicha.

Instead of crying,

you should take advantage of the opportunities

that life gives you.

Sure, Pedro left you, so what?

So what?

There are many men in the world

and they will all want to be lying at your feet.

But I only care about Pedro.

Look, Güicha,

if you go out with other men

and Pedro finds out,

you have a better chance of him coming back to you.

Instead of sitting around begging him

all damn day.

What should I do?

For starters,

stop looking like a witch,

all lazy, in your rags,

with greasy hair,

making people sorry for you.

I'm 38, Chuy.

All the better!

You know what that means?

Experience.

You have your thing,

curves in the right places.

You're Pedro's woman,

that's the best part.

That takes off

about 15 years.

Lupita, what are you doing here?

I came to invite you out, Pedro.

Are you free tomorrow?

I know a beautiful place

where they sell some delicious ice cream.

Oh, little girl, I'd be delighted,

but your mom won't like it.

I'm the one who has to like it,

not her.

Well, yes, but you're very young.

If I'm old enough to support my family,

I'm old enough to go out with whoever I want.

Don't play around,

because it's dangerous

being here alone.

Please.

Excuse me, have you seen Lupita?

I think she was in Pedro's dressing room.

Pedro Infante?

Yes.

Are you scared of me?

Yes, very.

Pedro.

I told you.

Pedro, open up, I know you're there.

I'm coming.

What is it?

Where is Lupita?

How would I know?

They told me she was here.

Who were the gossipers?

Look, you may be Pedro Infante,

but stay away from my daughter.

But I'm telling the truth.

Do you want to come in to see?

The bathroom is right over there.

We'll talk later.

I told you, Lupita, please.

You're gonna get me in trouble with your mom.

I think you should go now.

- Please. - No.

- Yes, that's enough kissing. - Pedrito.

Please, we'll see each other later.

Go on.

OK, go.

A little powder

on those crow's feet.

Very well.

Done!

What did you do to me?

Miracles.

Now, let's look at your clothes.

Come on, let's go.

Isn't that too much?

If I had those legs and that butt,

I'd walk around in my underwear

all day all over Mexico.

If Pedro doesn't fall over when he sees you,

it will be because he no longer likes women,

then it'll be my turn.

Don't make me laugh, Jesús.

Then don't laugh.

Remember, repeat after me:

"I'm not going to beg."

"I'm going to talk about business."

More serious.

"I'm going to talk about business."

That's it.

What would your mom have done

if she found you there?

Well, she hit my primary school boyfriend

with her purse when she found us

holding hands.

Then she'd hit me with a hammer.

You didn't like me.

No, it's not that.

Then what is it?

Am I ugly?

Am I not enough

woman for you?

I really like you

and you make me feel things

that I've never felt,

which is why I don't want to hurt you.

What if I want you to hurt me?

Wait, Lupita, wait.

We better stop.

We'll be late to the theater

and your mom will kill you.

She doesn't have to know.

Listen to me,

you'll thank me later.

OK, let's go.

Don't be like that.

No, really. Let's go.

Thank you.

Come on.

Two cognacs, please.

I'll take the first credit.

We'd like to propose to you

having Pedro's credit and yours

crossed or at the same level.

My credit is non-negotiable.

Do we have a deal or should I leave?

As you wish, Don Jorge.

Cheers.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

What were you doing, huh?

Talk to me!

- Tell me! - Leave me alone,

I have to change.

You were with that damn Pedro, right?

Do you think I'm a fool or what?

Speak!

I hope you're ready to go out and dance,

because if you hit me again,

I'm out of here.

I just came to talk business.

What is it?

I'm going to submit your resignation.

But there's still a month to go

before the end of the contract.

I know, but it's because of them.

I just found out

that next week Negrete comes in

and they're going to give him the first credit.

So you shouldn't stay.

But they're going to think that I was scared.

Let them think whatever they want.

You focus on the movies

and don't worry about the money,

because they have to pay you

the entire contract.

It is specified

that you had to have the first credit.

Get paid without working?

No, I don't think that's right, honestly.

It's the only way these assholes will respect you.

Most importantly,

your contract with the Rodríguez's expires

and I'm going to renegotiate it.

I can count on you for that, right?

Yes, of course.

María Luisa, don't you think

that skirt is very tight?

That's the style.

Sure, but you can't go out in public like this.

Oh, no?

And who's going to stop me?

Do you always go out to work like that?

You always come in like this, miss?

Lupita, this is...

His wife, María Luisa León.

Nice to meet you.

We'll just finish something

and I'll leave him to you, OK?

My mom forbade me from seeing you, I don't care.

I don't care that you're married either.

I can make you much happier than her.

Stop by tonight.

You won't hurt me, Pedro,

you're going to make me yours.

- Ladies and gentlemen... - All yours.

the time we've been waiting for has come.

With you now,

the idol of Mexico.

Pedro Infante!

Lupita, I don't want you come back too late.

Remember you have a function tomorrow.

Yes, Mom, I won't be long.

Lupita, what are you doing here?

You're bad, Pedro.

You stood me up

like a dry tree.

Don't you like me?

Of course I like you.

And...

do you want me to leave?

Of course I don't want that,

but...

Then,

if you like me,

no more buts.

I'm right here.

If you don't like me,

I'll go with the first guy I meet leaving here.

I love you, Pedro.

I love you more than you know.

You're also the most beautiful thing

that's happened to me,

but this isn't right.

If the price I have to pay for this

is going to hell,

I'll happily pay it.

Wait, wait!

It's OK.

- María Luisa is late. - Yes.

Just a little, but she'll be right here.

You can look it over.

What do you think, Pedro?

So far so good.

Why don't you sign it?

I don't think María Luisa will mind,

since we're paying you double.

- Double? - Mhm.

$100,000 pesos?

We didn't expect such a miserable offer.

You know how much Pedro's movies generate,

what you take

and what he takes.

Yes, but we risk the capital.

Then let your capital generate

the success that Pedro gives you.

How much do you want?

This is our proposal.

$500,000?

Are you crazy?

It's non-negotiable.

You can take it or leave it.

María Luisa, I think that...

Yes, I also think

that "Indio" Fernández is going to value your work more

than these gentlemen who you've made millionaires.

Hey, Perico,

you have to sign.

We're all set for our next movie.

We'll sign it right now,

under these conditions.

Absolutely not.

Fine,

it's been a pleasure, gentlemen.

Shall we go, Pedro?

Pedro?

You went too far, María Luisa.

For every peso you generate,

they keep 90 cents.

You're their gold mine, Pedro

and in the name of friendship they abuse you.

Yeah, but they gave me my first shot.

And it's the best deal they've done in their life.

They're not going to sign.

If they don't sign,

I promise I'll get you another producer.

What if you don't?

Come back home,

I'll take care of the rest.

Good afternoon, Captain.

Pedro, thank you for coming.

How can I help?

Congratulations!

- That means that... - Yes, you've earned it.

You're a pilot now.

Thank you very much, Captain.

Thank you so much.

Hey, Pedro, since you're here,

do me a favor.

I was asked to check that plane.

It was just sold and they want to deliver it

in perfect condition.

It's a beauty.

Take a look, if you notice anything,

let me know.

I'm interested in your opinion.

And can you tell me whose is it?

Yes, some annoying guy.

One of those who thinks he's very important,

who are always in a hurry.

Oh, well.

Just look, it's a beauty.

It sure is.

It's lovely, really.

It's yours, Pedro!

The Rodríguez's accepted my terms, my love.

You're not joking, are you?

Of course not.

What can I say?

Don't say anything.

My heart, thank you so much.

We can fly tomorrow.

Let's go visit your mom.

- Well, let's go. - Here's the key.

Thank you very much, sweetie.

Thanks to you for saving my life.

Here you go, Ramón.

Thank you.

This is cold, what the hell!

I just warmed it up, Ramón.

It doesn't seem like it.

Leave that girl alone and take care of me.

The girl needs her mother

and you behave yourself,

this isn't your home.

Hey, Rosario, help me.

Now the girl is more important than me.

Hey, give it to me.

- Good morning, family! - Pedro?

- Pedro? - Pedro who?

- What's up, bro? - What's up?

It's good to see you.

- Welcome. - Thank you.

How are you?

- How are you? - Very good and you?

How are you?

Oh, how beautiful!

I see you in a minute, OK?

You're not going to say hello, Dad?

Good to see you, damn boy!

My old man.

Hey, you!

You didn't bring Ángel?

We came on his plane.

It's brand new.

Does it also have cardboard wings, Pedro?

No, this is for real. It's a beauty, come see it.

Pretty lady.

Where is everyone else?

Working, where else?

I promised you something.

You and my brother Domingo.

And I'm going to fulfill it.

I'm going to buy you a house.

- Shut up! - Really,

I'm going to buy you a house.

Carmela!

My food is for today! Isn't it?

Hi, brother-in-law.

Nice to meet you, welcome.

He's a mess.

Hey, I want to see my little niece.

- Let me see her. - Oh, yeah.

- Of course. - Careful.

You're so cute, little thing!

- Dora Luz, right? - Dora Luz.

Dora Luz.

How beautiful!

What happened here on her head?

Well...

She was crawling

and hit the edge of the table.

Poor thing.

The girl is so happy with you, Pedro.

She likes you.

That girl doesn't like to be held by anyone,

but her mom and aunt.

- Thank you very much. - Brother-in-law, hey!

Lend me 10 pesos to go buy something

to make a toast.

Tomorrow when I'm paid,

- I'll give it back. - Sure, here you go.

- Great, thank you. - Thank you, Pedro.

Don't take long, Ramón!

Stop nagging me!

Hey, why do you let him talk to you like that?

He's a good person.

- He's just drunk right now. - He's no nice person.

If he talks to any of you like that again,

I'm going to punch his teeth out.

That would be good.

Well, give her to me,

- I'm going to take her inside. - No, no, that's fine.

Let me see this beautiful girl.

Look how pretty she is.

It's beautiful.

She's a little angel.

She's so cute.

Very nice, dad.

Yeah, son.

María Luisa, I'll show you

your bedroom.

Rosario, help me make the beds.

- Yes, Mom. - Delfino, don't drink anymore.

We're celebrating.

See you soon, my love.

Tell him to stop drinking!

Good evening, Don Delfino.

- It's good that you came. - Of course.

If you need anything I'll be here, OK?

Hey,

why don't you have children?

Well, I was lucky,

but not that lucky.

I see.

A few months ago we gave our last concert.

It was a wedding for some rich folk.

Do you know what songs they asked me for?

Yours, Pedro!

I ran into that girl

and her daughter.

Which girl?

Chavela.

She asked about you.

And when I told her how well you were doing,

her eyes welled up.

She tried to cover it up,

but I could see she still wants you.

Your mom says that girl has your eyes,

but for the rest of us

the dates don't add up.

You know?

I'm fed up with this girl and you!

- Son of a bitch! - No, Dad.

Don't bother, I'll go.

Put that bastard in his place.

- This is the last time... - Let me go.

- ...you treat me like that. - You're hurting me!

Hey!

You son of a bitch!

No, Pedro!

No, let him go!

Mom, mom!

Mom, hurry!

- What's going on? - Pedro, Pedro!

Pedro, no!

- Let go of me! - Pedro!

Let him go, Pedro, please!

You're going to kill him, stop, please!

I told you this isn't your home,

that you should behave!

Stay out of this, fucking old gossip.

You're done now.

Get the hell out of this house

or I'll kill you! OK?

- Let's go! - Pedro, stop!

- Stop, please! - Fuck off!

Are you OK?

Pedro, let me see.

How long have you suffered that shit?

What happened to you?

Lupita!

I'll be back soon, wait for me.

I love you.

Pedro.
