INT. DAY

Meeting at a well-known Spanish production company. Three DIRECTORS are looking into series proposals for the next season. Futurism sells and They need a final series that fits the profile. A high school comedy with kids who have electric cars (Fernando Tejero, a village workshop mechanic?) or lots of cell phones (“Guasa-P”, interchangeable: in total no one will see their faces, only their cell phones and such.

MANAGER 1:

Or one of the thieves.

MANAGER 2:

What about?

MANAGER 1:

Jaquers are people who hack into cell phones and search for obscene photos.

MANAGER 3:

They also leak government data and test security…

MANAGER 3 fell silent when he saw the look on the other two faces. That look clearly said, “This doesn’t give you a 35% share at 11:30 p.m. across four ad blocks in a row.” MANAGER 1 receives an offer.

MANAGER 1:

Look, this is ideal. It’s the story of detectives chasing a murderer in Murcia for 20 years. We change detectives for the Jacquers, we eliminate the murderer, we add a child, we extend the time by 10 or 20 years and we can add Resin and Imanol.

Spanish style fiction: that’s exactly what it sounds like in your head.

MANAGER 2:

With flashbacks! We can put Resin on the wig once per episode!

MANAGER 3:

So are Imanol and Antonio detectives?

MANAGER 1:

No, damn it, they’re thieves. Every episode they take a cell phone or one of those tablets and solve a problem.

MANAGER 2:

And they do it by remembering something they did in the ’80s on Scam Telefónica or something like that. That’s where the flashbacks come in. And we can license songs from the ’80s.

MANAGER 3:
Fair. These are thieves from the past, they are real. They… What was the name of the computer with the plastic keys that you had to insert the tapes into? Spectrum?

MANAGER 1:

I think so. Look, we bring in Joaquín Reyes as the young checker and let him take care of the things that he controls.

MANAGER 2:

So Imanol Arias and Antonio Resines are former thieves. They programmed the video for you, they loaded The Office for you, good thieves.

MANAGER 1:

They now use their phones to control cars, the kitchen, and have flying things.

MANAGER 3:

Drones.

MANAGER 1:

O. The story is that they live together because Resines is divorced and Arias has never been married. She is with Resines’ son, Joaquín Reyes.

MANAGER 2:

I’m thinking of combining it with Fernando Tejero’s series. He’s a mechanic and prepares the car for every mission. Like in A-Team.

MANAGER 3:

“The J Team.” They’re in charge of fixing your computer and they call them moms because their college daughters have nude photos uploaded on Facebook by their ex-boyfriends. We put up a social message.

MANAGER 1:

You’re so annoying with your social media. Look, I got this for you so we can post pictures of girls in bikinis all the time.

MANAGER 2:

While Resines looked uncomfortable: “Imanol, she could be your daughter.” Resins is good. And very much against piracy. This is an anti-piracy controller.

MANAGER 3:

Yeah, because if they’re just regular robbers he won’t take on the role. My nephew is an axe, he’ll take down any movie that’s playing in the cinema. We can call you for scripts.

MANAGER 1:

Let him get together with Joaquín. And add video games, they’re crazy about placement. We could add a subplot of Joaquín’s colleagues playing video games.

MANAGER 2:

They’re all kids. But they’re smart and handsome. They even let the girls play. And of course, since they’re gamers, they’re really good at checkers. And then they discover that there’s a real killer! Someone… Who uses the webcam! He makes everything look like an accident!

MANAGER 2:

“Everything in your house can kill you…” except for the stuff we put in product placement.

MANAGERS (all three):

Certainly.

MANAGER 3:

The police don’t believe them because they’re thieves and they were already doing that in the 80s. We could have brought in a mature, handsome police officer, Eduardo Noriega or something like that. He’s the only one who believes them. Or a cop. That he’s in love with Imanol.

MANAGER 1:

They have to exit from a cool place where there are concerts and extras. And activities. Cyber?

MANAGER 2:

What?

MANAGER 3:

A hall.

MANAGER 1:

A BAR-locutorio. And in each episode, a guest star can be found who makes videos for children. A youtuber.

MANAGER 2:

With a funny foreigner who works in a cyber bar. He knows how to control it better than them, but they love him. He saves them in every episode. Because he is Chinese and they control the US there.

MANAGER 1:

Or maybe he was in China, let’s not go too far. He’s Jaquin and he knows kung fu.

MANAGER 3:

So, we have Imanol and Resines, the former thieves. But it’s Joaquín Reyes and the video game kids who figure it all out.

MANAGER 1:

and the Chinese

MANAGER 3:

And the Chinese. This is not Chinese. But they and Tejero are the ones who closed the case. Like… How was it with the robot police?

MANAGER 2:

Robocop?

MANAGER 3:

Inspector Gadget! The nephew was a thief and was always the one to figure everything out, but it looked like Gadget did it. This is the bomb. This has never been done on TV!

MANAGER 1:

Well, we have it. Guys, we’re gonna eat all the Master Chefs with this.

MANAGER 2:

We might even release a spin-off of Chefs Jacquers.

MANAGER 1:

Okay, call the casting. Have them look for the Leticia Dolera type for the smart, beautiful niece.

MANAGER 3:

Nephew?

MANAGER 1:

Of course, that’s Inspector Gadget’s, if you just said so.
