Pepa & Silvia - Episode 15: Part One LHDP Translation/RECAP
A recap/translation/picspam hit list of Pepa/Silvia moments on Los Hombres De Paco. Done for the flist because a few of the youtube clips don't have subtitles, and knowing what people are saying (more or less) is nice. While the majority of these scenes are subtitled on youtube, I'm ... anally obsessed. Please ignore me.

4x26: Season Finale - Quick Recap
Previously on LHDP:
Silvia's happy denial about her feelings for Pepa hit a brick wall when she, Lola and Rita headed to a gay bar with Pepa to celebrate a bachelorette party. As Pepa was kissed, fondled and given a lapdance, an obsessively watching Silvia was overwhelmed with jealousy and abruptly left the party. Pepa was left to wonder if Silvia was jealous or homophobic.
Meanwhile. Paco's repeated mistakes nearly cost him his badge, but when DL and the rest of the team gave up their badges in protest, he was spared. For now, at least.
Meanwhile, Aitor finally received a call from Carlotta, Lucas' captive sister, who broke up with him for his own good. What he does not know is that Carlotta is actually being held prisoner by the Kaiser and being used to control Lucas. After the gang tried to have Aitor killed, Lucas and Sarah orchestrated the video call to keep Aitor out of the gang's cross-hairs.
EPISODE 4x15 Part 1: In which the potential for naked Pepa breaks Silvia and Curtis' brains…
It's Sara's turn for an opening monologue, and she discusses fear. As she flashes over scenes to come from the episode, we get a shot of Silvia, with Pepa embracing her, dancing in the interrogation room.
SARA (VO): There's also the fear of what we don't want to feel. What we don't want to see. Of the unknown.
She drifts on, moving through scenes, and we finally end on a scene of Sara lit up on a stage, dressed in a black wig, and not much else.
SARA: I'm not scared any more.
SCENE: PACO'S KITCHEN
The Miranda family gets ready for dinner. As Sara settles at the kitchen table, Pepa slices off some ham at the counter. Lola, excited about her drawings, attempts to show Paco her various pictures.
Sara lovingly jokes to her mother not to bother, because her father knows nothing about art.
PACO: Neither does your mom! Sweetie, she only took this painting class to make friends! Right?
Lola is offended by that. Sara's phone beeps.
LOLA: Well, yes, I joined to make friends, but it's invoked in me a passion! And passions need to be shared in a marriage, don't they Pacito?
He shrinks.
PACO: Right. Sure, sure. Of course.
Meanwhile, Sara checks her phone, and after reading a text message that is almost certainly from Lucas, smiles giddily. Pepa notices, and sneaks over.
PEPA: Who is it?
Caught, Sara snaps the phone closed.
PEPA: What's the smile about?
SARA: God, you're so nosy!
PEPA: You've got a boyfriend, don't you! Give it to me!
She begins to reach for the phone, but laughing, Sara keeps it away. They start to wrestle for it.
SARA: NO! NO! Don't be such a gossip! I'm not going to show you!
PEPA: Give it!
SARA: NO! Man!
She darts for the door, looking for an escape.
SARA: Look! I'm going to take out the trash.
LOLA: Well come back soon, because your grandfather's coming to dinner.
SARA: Okay.
She opens the door and mockingly glares at Pepa.
SARA: Nosy!
Pepa lunges and Sara slams the door.
LATER
While Pepa keeps shaving off slices of ham, Paco and Lola are still trying to bond over her sudden love of art.
PACO: My love, I would love to share this with you, but I don't know how to draw!
Listening in, Pepa takes a sip of water.
LOLA: But I'm not asking you to draw anything, Pacito! The only thing I'm asking is for you to pose for me! To be a model for a drawing ... au natural!
Pepa CHOKES on her water, spewing water out of her mouth.
PACO: Lola, for the love of God, honey with my nerves, I can barely stand up, much less pose! No, my love, no!
Grinning madly, Pepa wipes the water off her chin.
PACO: Why don't you draw some flowers? Huh? They're a lot more natural than I am.
Lola is not happy.
LOLA: Do you know how long it's been since we've done something together? Since you took me for a ride in your new car.
PACO: What new car?
LOLA: The one you bought five years ago! The only thing we do together is watch football Sunday afternoon! I've gone twenty years without one damn hobby, Paco!
She slumps down at the kitchen table, sulking. Paco blinks, overwhelmed.
Pepa catches Paco's eye, silently warning him to give in. Exhaling, he does.
PACO: You've got a point, honey.
Lola stares at him, surprised at the quick turn about. She tosses a suspicious glance back to Pepa, the true Don Juan in the room, but Pepa quickly pretends to be engrossed in her ham slicing.
PACO: Tomorrow, you've got your model. Here is Paco Miranda Au Natural!
Pepa grins madly.
PACO: The whole shebang! Your natural model! Really, my love.
He leans down and tenderly gives Lola a kiss.
PACO: I'm going to find the child, who knows where the hell she's gone to throw out the trash.
As he leaves, Pepa , the gossip, scrambles to sit beside Lola.
PEPA: Just one thing, Lola.
LOLA: What?
PEPA: I don't think Paco realizes that a natural drawing means… not having any clothes on!
Lola smirks.
LOLA: Of course not!
Pepa and Lola crack up.
SCENE: THE BRIEFING ROOM: THE NEXT MORNING
As the group comes together for the morning briefing, Silvia waits at front, gathering her files.
Sara glances up to see Aitor out of uniform and sulking in an IRONMAN shirt. She goes to cheer him up, and he tells her he has decided he's going to be just like the Ironman, and not feel a thing.
He mentions he was going to see the movie with Carlotta that weekend, but obviously that's not happening.
Sara offers to go with him instead, and tenderly chucks his chin.
Curtis and Quique listen to the conversation.
QUIQUE: Well, I'll go too. I like special effects. Coming, Curtis?
Pepa opens the door, the last to join. Curtis jolts up happily.
PEPA: Sorry.
Silvia, wearing a shy smile, sneaks behind Pepa to needlessly close a door Pepa has already closed, as Pepa greets Rita and waves to Montoya, while she heads for a chair. Curtis watches appreciatively.
CURTIS: I don't need to go to the movies to see special effects, Quique.
He smiles hungrily in Pepa's direction as Pepa flashes a smile, looking obliviously gorgeous. Quique, gay and immune to the hotness that is Pepa, rolls his eyes.
Montoya and Silvia begin the meeting, and on the projection screen, pictures of scantily clad girls pose sexily.
AITOR: Where there's a peroxide blonde, there's a hooker.
The group giggles.
POVEDILLA: Hey, don't be a jerk! Have some respect! These young ladies are professional dancers!
QUIQUE: Totally, Povedilla. It really is a talent to open a bottle of beer with your butt-cheeks.
The crowd erupts in laughter, but none louder than Pepa.
Silvia is not amused.
SILVIA: Gentlemen! GENTLEMEN!
She catches sight of Pepa still laughing, and gets even more pissed off. She glares at her pointedly.
SILVIA: And Ladies.
Pepa stops laughing immediately, but still smiles mischievously at Silvia. Silvia glares again.
SILVIA: These girls are between 16 and 18 years old, and they work as hostesses and dancers at Flashdance, an exotic dancehall.
MONTOYA: Their paper work checks out, but we've gotten a tip.
Silvia now begins her habit (seriously, you watch this scene enough, you catch it) of watching Pepa not so subtly. She keeps her attention trained on her, but Pepa listens intently to Montoya.
MONTOYA: It looks like a few of them prostitute themselves and film the events with hidden cameras to later extort the clients.
SILVIA: We're talking about professionals, aristocrats, judges… high profile men who would prefer to pay rather than go to the police and admit they've slept with a minor. And we don't have proof, or a warrant or anything.
MONTOYA: So, guys, I don't have to tell you that discretion is of the upmost importance.
Rita raises her hand.
RITA: Inspector! I have a request. I'd like to go undercover at the club!
Montoya and Silvia blink, Povedilla stares, and Aitor, Curtis and Quique laugh in disbelief.
AITOR: Right, sure!
MEANWHILE
In a private meeting with DL, Mariano and Paco, Lucas gets some bad news. He's being taken off the Kaiser case AND he's pending an investigation from Interpol due to his lack of progress on the Kaiser case. He storms out of the meeting.
IN THE BRIEFING ROOM
Through the window, Sara notices Lucas extremely upset. She frowns, watching him, as the team continues to argue with Rita.
AITOR: Rita, this is just an opinion, okay? But you're not fifteen anymore. You're not exactly a kid!
RITA: But I could go in as a prostitute, for example!
Povedilla leans in, concerned. Rita reassures him it's just a cover.
CURTIS: Rita, you've seen the merchandise. The people that go to this club are the elite of the elite!
QUIQUE: And what, they wouldn't like her? You don't take no for an answer, Rita. You've got the ass to work the day shift on Sunday!
Povedilla can't take anymore, and stands up.
POVEDILLA: Hey, Quique! QUIQUE! QUIQUE! Shut up! Rita has a great ass! And she'd be a great whore!
Everyone stares at him.
POVEDILLA: …. Pretend. Pretend. Not in real life or anything.
Povedilla sits back down, and Silvia resumes her favorite activity: trying not to stare at Pepa and failing miserably.
RITA: Inspector?
MONTOYA: Yes?
RITA: Please, let me do it. Ever since I've had the baby, I haven't done anything. And I didn't become a cop to do desk work.
MONTOYA: I understand, Rita, but I can't do anything. This case has been assigned to Inspector Miranda, whose already familiar with the case, so you can ask him when you see him, okay? And you can tell him he has a new agent in his team.
He motions to Sara, who is busy staring out the window at Lucas.
SILVIA: One quick announcement, Gonzalo. Sara. Sara!
Sara finally looks up.
SILVIA: As of today, you're been assigned to Miranda's unit.
She smiles. The group erupts in cheers, delighted for Sara to be placed in her father's unit. Pepa offers a wolf whistle. But as Sara receives congratulatory hugs and handshakes, she finds herself distracted by Lucas and the knowledge that something is obviously very wrong.
MEANWHILE
Paco and Mariano are devastated to learn that Lucas is now subject to a probe from Interpol. They decide that they will not rest until they can solve the Kaiser case and clear his name. Bad news for Paco, though: he has another case he's forgotten about.
Paco's team (plus Pepa), all descend on him on the staircase. Sara gives him the happy news that she's on his team, Rita presses him to let her go undercover, and Paco receives a phone call from Lola, reminding him that he needs to come and pose for her.
Overwhelmed, Paco begins to delegate.
He tells Rita to go undercover as the whore, and tells Curtis to head up the assignment. He also announces that Lucas is under investigation. Sara's smile drops.
One last delegation for Paco: he sends Povedilla in his place to Lola.
--
LATER
Sara finds a devastated Lucas in the shower. She climbs in with him, but before she can comfort him, Montoya and DL come in.
To their horror, Lucas and Sara listen in as DL tells Montoya that Paco better not fuck up the stripper assignment. If he does, he's going to get an Internal Affairs Investigation of his own.
AND
Povedilla shows up on Lola's doorstep. Lola is furious to realize Paco has skipped out on his duty, and aims to call him, but Povedilla convinces her to let him do the job.
Povedilla strips as Lola gets ready, and when he finally goes 'au natural', Lola realizes there is a LOT more to Povedilla than she originally thought.
IN THE LOCKER ROOM
Later, Sara hangs up with Lucas, and smiles giddily.
But Pepa, the nosy aunt, has just come in, and notices the wide smile.
With a knowing grin, she saunters over to Sara and takes a seat beside her.
PEPA: Are you seriously going to have the gall to try to deny the fact that you're seeing someone?
SARA: I'm not!
Pepa eyes her.
PEPA [whines]: Tell me…
SARA: I'm not!
Pepa loses patience.
PEPA: Give me that cellphone!
SARA: I'm not giving you the cellphone, are you nuts?
PEPA: I'm you're aunt!
They start to wrestle again, laughing.
SARA: NO!
Silvia opens the door, startled to find the intimate moment. Caught, both woman stare at her.
SARA: hi.
SILVIA: … Hi.
Pepa laughs, and goes back to begging Sara to let her see the cellphone. Giggling, Sara refuses.
Silvia watches, feeling left out.
The silly moment is stalled when Rita comes in behind them, dressed up and with mascara streaked with tears. She sits down for a good sulk on the bench.
Curtis, Aitor and Quique follow her in, obviously in a snit.
CURTIS: Rita, I told you, woman that you do not look like a whore! [mutters] No, not a whore or even the cleaning lady! Didn't you realize that the cream of the cop go there? Now the hell are we going to do? What the fuck do we do?
SILVIA: Rita, what happened?
AITOR: She went to try to go undercover at Flashdance and she didn't even pass the audition, right Rita?
RITA: No, I didn't pass the audition, but no one would have passed the dumb audition because it's harder than the casting of FAME! I tried to do a cartwheel and I couldn't even do that!
She dissolves into tears. Pepa tries to comfort her.
SILVIA: And Paco?
The team hesitates.
SARA: With Lucas. Interpol's after him and he's giving him a hand. Silvia, we have to help him.
She thinks about it.
SARA: I'll go undercover.
CURTIS; Like hell you will. Sweetie, if I let you go undercover as a prostitute your dad will cut my balls off.
SILVIA: Sara, are you nuts? You don't even have a badge yet! What do you want, for Internal Affairs to come after us?
SARA: If I don't, they're going to come after my dad, Silvia!
The news startles everyone. Pepa frowns, thinking this through.
SARA: I heard my granddad say it. He doesn't know. His future is in our hands, Curtis!
Pepa launches up, and slings a comforting arm around her niece.
PEPA: We're going to do this. Sara's the only one who can pass as a minor. So she goes in as the bait, and I'll go in with her. As a dancer, as a hooker, or whatever they need.
Sara grins. Curtis loses all motor function as Pepa grins and the blood descends from his brain further south.
He's already picturing her naked.
CURTIS: Great, great great. In that case, that changes everything.
Quique blinks.
QUIQUE: What the hell does that change?!
CURTIS [eyes on Pepa]: Everything, Quique. Everything.
Quique frowns, not pleased.
Pepa now glances back to the superior in the room: Silvia. However, Silvia's blood has also apparently descended south, because she offers a surprisingly quick agreement.
SILVIA: Okay, well then I'll go too.
She joins Pepa and Sara.
SILVIA: If Sara has to go undercover, then let it be with her two aunts.
SARA: But not one word to my dad, Silvia.
She smiles and nods agreeably.
CURTIS: Awesome. Then the three of you go to casting.
They head out. Curtis begins barking orders to Quique and Aitor, as Rita watches, left behind.
END PART I.
COMING UP:
4x15 Part II: Under the pretense of working 'undercover' Silvia explores her attraction to Pepa and goes to Lola for advice. Meanwhile, Mariano accidentally uncovers a huge clue to the Kaiser puzzle, which leads Sara to once again sabotage her father under Lucas' orders.

PEPA [whines]: Tell me…
SARA: I'm not!
Pepa loses patience.
PEPA: Give me that cellphone!
SARA: I'm not giving you the cellphone, are you nuts?
PEPA: I'm you're aunt!
They start to wrestle again, laughing.
SARA: NO!
Silvia opens the door, startled to find the intimate moment. Caught, both woman stare at her.
SARA: hi.
SILVIA: … Hi.
Pepa laughs, and goes back to begging Sara to let her see the cellphone. Giggling, Sara refuses.
Silvia watches, feeling left out.
The silly moment is stalled when Rita comes in behind them, dressed up and with mascara streaked with tears. She sits down for a good sulk on the bench.
Curtis, Aitor and Quique follow her in, obviously in a snit.
CURTIS: Rita, I told you, woman that you do not look like a whore! [mutters] No, not a whore or even the cleaning lady! Didn't you realize that the cream of the cop go there? Now the hell are we going to do? What the fuck do we do?
SILVIA: Rita, what happened?
AITOR: She went to try to go undercover at Flashdance and she didn't even pass the audition, right Rita?
RITA: No, I didn't pass the audition, but no one would have passed the dumb audition because it's harder than the casting of FAME! I tried to do a cartwheel and I couldn't even do that!
She dissolves into tears. Pepa tries to comfort her.
SILVIA: And Paco?
The team hesitates.
SARA: With Lucas. Interpol's after him and he's giving him a hand. Silvia, we have to help him.
She thinks about it.
SARA: I'll go undercover.
CURTIS; Like hell you will. Sweetie, if I let you go undercover as a prostitute your dad will cut my balls off.
SILVIA: Sara, are you nuts? You don't even have a badge yet! What do you want, for Internal Affairs to come after us?
SARA: If I don't, they're going to come after my dad, Silvia!
The news startles everyone. Pepa frowns, thinking this through.
SARA: I heard my granddad say it. He doesn't know. His future is in our hands, Curtis!
Pepa launches up, and slings a comforting arm around her niece.
PEPA: We're going to do this. Sara's the only one who can pass as a minor. So she goes in as the bait, and I'll go in with her. As a dancer, as a hooker, or whatever they need.
Sara grins. Curtis loses all motor function as Pepa grins and the blood descends from his brain further south.
He's already picturing her naked.
CURTIS: Great, great great. In that case, that changes everything.
Quique blinks.
QUIQUE: What the hell does that change?!
CURTIS [eyes on Pepa]: Everything, Quique. Everything.
Quique frowns, not pleased.
Pepa now glances back to the superior in the room: Silvia. However, Silvia's blood has also apparently descended south, because she offers a surprisingly quick agreement.
SILVIA: Okay, well then I'll go too.
She joins Pepa and Sara.
SILVIA: If Sara has to go undercover, then let it be with her two aunts.
SARA: But not one word to my dad, Silvia.
She smiles and nods agreeably.
CURTIS: Awesome. Then the three of you go to casting.
They head out. Curtis begins barking orders to Quique and Aitor, as Rita watches, left behind.
END PART I.

4x15 Part II: Under the pretense of working 'undercover' Silvia explores her attraction to Pepa and goes to Lola for advice. Meanwhile, Mariano accidentally uncovers a huge clue to the Kaiser puzzle, which leads Sara to once again sabotage her father under Lucas' orders.
