Why didn't you tell me about the meeting?

Because I didn't know what it was about, so.

Yes, well, but you suspected something,

otherwise you would've just told me.

Max, what do you want? Because I didn't know what it was about.

What do I want? What do you think I want?

To know where I stand, what to expect.

I'm sorry.

Who were there? Just the Prime Minister?

Van der Stoel...

And my mother was also there.

Your mother?

Why was your mother there?

OK, what?

Alex, come on, spit it out.

They're saying that your father will not be allowed to attend our wedding,

or at least, there will be no consent law.

What is a consent law?

It's all political stuff, it doesn't matter.

Yes, but, what does it mean?

Everybody involved in the matter just wants to show their balls, it's...

Why is my father not allowed to be at my wedding?!

What does that report say?

I don't know exactly.

And I promise you we're going to do everything to fix this.

How can you be so sure if you don't know what's in it?!

- Well... - Fuck! Unbelievable!

How can you ask this of me?

Me? It's them! I was blindsided as well.

This is not what I want either, I was furious.

- Bravo. - Hey, Max! Wait, please.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Because I wanted to wait for the right time,

I didn't want to turn it into a big thing.

Not a big thing? So, my father can't be at our wedding,

and you call this not a big thing?

That's not what I'm...

Max, I didn't want you to worry unnecessarily.

No, Alex, you're so arrogant

that you think that you can bend things to your will.

Max, please, can you wait one second so we can talk?

It's all just politics.

To hell with politics. You kept me in the dark on this.

- Please, Max. - (knocking at door)

Max.

Hello?

Hello.

Yes. This is Maxima Zorreguieta,

I wanted to confirm my interview for tomorrow.

Yes. OK.

OK, that's perfect.

OK, thank you.

So, you're from Buenos Aires.

Yes. You know my father, right?

Do I?

Or maybe your father knows my father.

Because I think I met your father once, on a ski trip to Bariloche.

I'm sorry, time is money, I know, I know.

Who cares about Bariloche when you're here in New York, so.

So, tell me, why do you think you're the right fit for the job?

I'm really good with numbers. I mean...

No, I'm really good with numbers. Yes. And I like people

and I'm looking for new challenges here in New York.

Interesting.

Yes.

Interesting.

We've got your information from Tim at Merrill Lynch

and Robert at Citicorp.

Looks like you've been making rounds.

And I thought people in finance were supposed to be discrete.

We're glad they aren't.

We happen to be looking for someone in sales,

to complete our Latin America team.

Well, that's me.

Well, tell me why.

I don't really like talking about my accomplishments, but...

I can tell you about the biggest mistake I've ever made.

When I was working at the Bank of Boston,

we made a huge misjudgement regarding the Mexican peso.

Our clients lost a lot of money...

And I felt horrible.

But in the long run, it made me resilient.

More diligent, meticulous even.

May I introduce you to my friends from Buenos Aires.

She is Maxima Zorreguieta and her mom, Maria Pame.

- Hello. - So, nice to meet you.

- Maria Pame. - Nice to meet you.

This is Peter, he introduced me to the art scene here.

Did I hear Tris just say Zorregueta?

Zorreguieta.

Yes, Zorreguieta. Are you by any chance related

to Dolores Zorreguieta, the artist?

Yes. Yes, she is my sister.

No way. I just saw her exhibition the other day, Wounds.

Have you had a chance to see it yet?

No. No, no.

OK. Well, I'm not going to say much then,

because I don't want to ruin the experience for you, but...

It was really impressive.

She did an amazing job of capturing the pain, and the fear

and the violence in her youth in her art.

- It's a pleasure to meet her mother. - No.

I'm not her mother.

She's my half sister, we share the same father.

Yes, her father and mine are close friends. Small world.

Small world.

OK, I think we need a drink.

Yes, amazing.

Thank you.

So, nice to meet you, enjoy your evening.

Thank you, you too.

Max.

So, I thought it were my feet at first, my shoes, but it turns out

it's actually my core.

I've been doing yoga like everyday,

like every morning to get my hips loose...

(Voice fades, haunting music)

Sorry, can you excuse me for a minute?

- I'll be right back. - Alright.

Excuse me.

Hi, Cynthia?

- Hello. - Maxima.

Zorreguieta.

Northlands.

Maxima Zorreguieta. Can you excuse me for a minute?

Excuse me.

An old friend.

Yes. You don't have to worry about that, we'll take care of that.

No way! OK, don't worry about that.

- OK, I will. - (Phone ringing)

Let me call you later.

OK, yes, I'll send it to you.

OK, thank you, bye.

Hola Cynthia.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Darling.

Meet Philip and Ana.

Phil, Ana, this is Maxima.

- Pleased to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

She is my best friend from Buenos Aires, so.

Well, Phil and Ana spend about half of the year in New York

and the other half in Seville.

Best of both worlds.

Well, you have the tango.

You have the flamenco.

Yes, but I have to say, there is nothing quite like the tango.

It has a unique blend of deep melancholy and sensuality,

that's just unbeatable.

Si. Yes, I mean...

Tango is the first smile on your face after crossing a sea of tears.

There you go, that's exactly what I mean.

Come with me. Sorry, sorry.

('Gold' playing)

So this guy, he bursts into my office and starts yelling at me,

stuff like "when will it ever end?" or "will it ever be enough?"

I just look at him and I go like, it's not a question of enough, pal.

It's a zero sum game, you know somebody wins, somebody loses.

Money itself isn't lost or made,

it's simply transferred from one perception to another,

it's like magic.

For example, this painting I bought 10 years ago, for $60,000,

today I could sell it for $600,000.

So the illusion just became real and the more real it becomes,

the more desperate they want it. Now, to me, that is...

Capitalism at its finest. Gordon Gekko, Wall Street,

I've seen it at least five times.

It's a great movie, right?

It is. So, the painting, I sold it...

('Gold' playing)

(Phone ringing)

No-one is available to take your call. Please leave a message.

(Knock at door)

My sister.

Her exhibition about the Videla regime.

I went to see it back then but...

It was too much.

I never argued with my father.

She did.

She confronted him.

Dared to ask questions.

I didn't.

Such a coward.

You are not a coward.

Have you ever just asked him

whether he knew about it?

Why not?

What's the worst thing that could happen?

- Where to, miss? - To the Hamptons.

This is Valeria Delger, not available at the moment.

Please leave a...

(Phone ringing)

"This is New York, get over it."

Hey.

- Mm. - Mmmm.

Wow.

Yoo-hoo!

I'm...I'm sorry.

So, they were being placed to sit next to each other

at this big table full of important people.

And then, right before they were being served shellfish,

they get these bowls with water and lemon on the table,

to rinse their fingers.

But the Prime Minister of Japan decides that he should drink it.

So, my grandmother sees the reactions on the faces

of the other guests, and you know what she does?

She gets her own bowl,

and she downs the whole thing in one go without hesitation.

What?

She was a woman who didn't really care a lot about the protocols.

She always used to walk alongside the red carpet

but the red carpet always had to be there.

And your mother?

She can be pretty formal.

A little bit too much sometimes,

but I think she would've done the same in this case 'cause she's a

she's a very sweet person.

I won't keep you in the dark anymore.

I know.

Hey.

Part of your integration.

The ice is thick enough, and...

We have a couple more hours before we have to leave, so.

Now?

There is nothing more Dutch than ice skating.

You'll have to learn anyway.

So, why not now?

No, I...

I'm exhausted

and your country doesn't even want me, so...

- OK. - Your Prime Minister, he...

Listen, screw him. Screw him,

screw van der Stoel,

screw everyone, screw my country.

I don't care about them.

All I care about is you and me.

Trust me, you want this.
