Unauthorized Living (Vivir Sin Permiso)

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

The first time I heard Nemo Bandeira speak

was in one of those bars with a pool table.

He pointed at a map with the cue and asked us all...

Hey! Hey! Where are we?

Of course, nobody answered,

and he said, Here! Here!

North-west quarter west!

Here we are.

Here we are, and we've got a fantastic coast, it's infinite,

full of hiding places. A secret sea protecting us.

We've got everything.

We've got fuel, we've got a coast, we've got boats, we've got men.

And the most important thing of all...

We've got balls!

Youth!

Look after this boat well, it's yours now.

And don't be like him...

Don't forget you're living with permission.

Because some people forget they're living with permission...

Right?

With the permission given to them...

By Nemo Bandeira.

Shall we go for lunch?

But I want octopus, I've gone right off mussels.

So you're Galician?

From Marín, but I've lived in Madrid for a long time.

And do you go to Galicia often?

Whenever I can.

My parents and family still live there.

- Is that my diagnosis? - Yes.

Go ahead.

Don't worry.

Whatever I hear, he hears.

Mr Bandeira...

I'm sorry to tell you that you're suffering from Alzheimer's.

Thanks for coming.

Hello! How are you?

- Don Esteban! Thanks for coming! - Thank you.

No, thank you. Make yourselves at home!

Carmiña...

The President of the Regional Government is over there, look after him. Thanks.

Mr Mayor!

- Mario! - It's an honour you could come.

See if you can speed up the port entrance reforms for us.

- If they'll let me. It's complex. - That's not what I heard.

Carlos!

Hey, Mario!

How are you? How's it going?

- It's great to see you, Carlos. - Likewise.

- Your dad'll be pleased to see you. - I'll let you know how it goes.

- Alejandro. - Hello.

It's exactly the same here. You haven't done anything.

- But you look better. - Thanks.

- Little brother, you came! - Hey!

- Hi! - How's it going?

Chon!

Where's Nemo? It's about to begin.

His plane's delayed. I ask you! Why did he need to go to Madrid today?

I'll go and fetch him.

Are you still not ready? Everybody's waiting downstairs!

Yes, sorry, I'll just get changed and then I'll be down.

Come on, don't make a fuss, you look great.

But how much? How much are we talking about?

Hey, isn't that Lara Balarés?

Yes. How do you know her?

From the clinic. I bump into her when I go to pay her mum's bills.

Was she invited?

- No, she's not invited. - Hold on, I'll sort it out.

Hello?

Hello, we... we know each other from the clinic.

I'm the one who works for Nemo.

- I'm afraid you weren't invited. - Hello? Hello everybody.

Can I have your attention, please? First of all...

As soon as the speech is over, you'll have to come with me to the gate.

Today we're celebrating a birthday. Luckily, it's not mine.

Darling.

Hello, everybody. First of all, thanks for coming to this dreamlike occasion.

Sixty years old!

Well, I can see all of my family is here.

You know Chon, my wife.

Without her, I wouldn't be what I am.

My daughter, Nina,

has come back from Paris and is going to open an art gallery here.

Because culture is important.

Those of us who don't have much know this better than anybody.

How silly!

And yes, it looks like sixtieth birthdays are important,

my son Carlos has come... Unbelievably.

And I mustn't forget...

My godson. Mario, where are you?

When his father died, I promised him I'd look after his boy,

but it's been the other way round.

I don't know what we'd do without him at Open Sea, our company.

And now, I'm going to talk about Oeste, where I was born...

Where I started working in what brings us all together in Galicia:

the tidal rivers, the sea...

We've always earned our living from the sea.

We've earned our crust by fishing, building the best boats,

or transporting merchandise faster than anyone else.

I've worked hard all my life, and now I can look back and say

that Oeste's greatest resource is its people.

Loyal people, who keep their word, always ready with a helping hand.

Specialising in teamwork,

because what benefits one of us, benefits us all.

When I die and go to heaven, or, more likely, to hell,

I'm sure almost all the Galicians I meet

will have been my employees at some point.

Well, I never, the police! Hey!

I've worked since I was a child, and I must've been good at it

because one day, my father-in-law, Mr Moliner,

put me in charge of his canning factory

and his daughter.

I invested my money

in the most advanced technology to revive the old factory

and give it a new image.

And that's how I made our conserves essential

in the houses of rich and poor.

In every larder in the country, you'll find Moliner conserves.

And a celebrity, who I won't name, told me, after a few drinks,

that he prefers one of our humble tins of tuna to a tin of caviar.

I carried on working, and made Moliner Conserves the biggest company in Oeste.

Some people refused to see

the great opportunity Open Sea represented for the area.

However, we persuaded them with our convincing words.

One thing I'm proud of, is that I've always surrounded myself with the best.

People who'd give their right arm for me.

Loyal people I can look in the eye

and be sure they'd never betray me. As lots of you know, I can't sit still,

so as soon as we could, we opened up abroad.

Open Sea now operates in 12 countries.

We've developed links with our brothers in Latin America,

who have welcomed so many Galician immigrants.

Thanks to institutional support, we've managed to diversity

and today I can say with pride that we're a reference point in logistics,

the hotel business and construction.

Do you want a receipt?

Winning the elections will be enough.

We've also supported endless social projects.

From football teams, music schools, day centres for the elderly,

because money is only useful in good hands.

It gives me great satisfaction to know that I've done all this for my people,

for you...

For Oeste.

Sixty! Sixty years old! Unbelievable!

I've never liked celebrations, and much less gifts,

but this time, I've made an exception, haven't I, Chon?

This time I've asked for gifts...

A glass of water.

And now, let's all drink... And eat.

Mario, what's she doing here?

Throw her out, don't let her spoil the day.

I've taken care of her.

Leave me alone! Don't touch me!

Mario...

I need to talk to the boss. Right now.

- Have you seen the state you're in? - I need to speak to Nemo.

Don't drink any more.

Don't touch me!

Lara?

I haven't seen you round here for a long time.

It's the first time I've been round here.

I mean round here in Oeste.

I was away studying.

Who are you?

I'm Mario...

Mario Mendoza.

Don't you remember? I lived two streets from your house when my parents died.

- Until in the end Nemo... - Until you turned posh, no?

No, I don't remember.

Hey, can you get me to speak with Nemo?

I'm his lawyer. Tell me what you want and I'll tell him.

You're his lawyer?

My mum's been in a coma for eight months

and that bastard Nemo won't let me switch her off.

Nemo's paying for your mother's clinic.

You shouldn't talk like that.

Oh, so I should be grateful?

She shouldn't have been in that clinic months ago.

The doctors have said that she's not going to wake up.

Do you understand?

I'm sorry.

If you're his lawyer,

tell Nemo he can't make me keep my mum plugged in to a machine.

- That's for a judge to decide. - Nemo pays off all the judges!

Didn't they teach you that at university?

- I'm truly sorry. - The hell you're sorry.

Clown!

Can I help?

- How did you do it? - Us posh people are like that.

Out the way.

Everything all right, boss?

Promise me one thing, Ferro.

Whatever you want.

The day I don't remember my children's names, shoot me.

Promise me!

I give you my word.

Malcolm, do me a favour. Return this to its owner.

We haven't had chance to speak since I got back from Paris.

Your father keeps me very busy, as you know.
