Original subtitles

I need an employee for my new company.

-What kind of company? -Superintendents management.

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

-Can I be one of your superintendents? -No.

By hiring Basurto Integral Solutions,

you can rely on efficiency, security, trust,

and, above all, low costs.

You now represent a brand, Garrido.

[Gómez] You're in the lion's den.

You want me to spy on Eliseo?

[Eliseo] Which will be my next conquest?

I won't be here for 10 days. Can I leave you my key and you do it?

Perfect.

Now you'll know how sleazy I can be.

[Eliseo yells]

Eliseo, is that you?

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[♪ dramatic music stops]

[wind whooshing]

Clarita?

Oh, my God! I can't believe it!

[♪ gloomy music playing]

It's been so long!

You're still a superintendent.

Yes.

And in the same building.

Right, I knew it was in Belgrano, but...

I couldn't remember this street.

I mean, since I never came...

Nice building. It has a modern style. I mean, because of the...

the columns.

It's nice to see you!

Do you want to go for a drink? We can catch up.

I'm free now.

No, I can't go out.

Too bad.

Well then...

But if you like, we can have a coffee upstairs. That I can do.

Great. I'll accept a coffee.

[♪ theme music playing]

THE BOSS 3

[♪ gloomy music playing]

Thanks.

This is incredible. You look the same.

The same eyes.

Well, they're the same.

No, I mean I recognized you as soon as I saw you.

How long has it been since we've seen each other?

Thirty years?

Thirty-two years, ten months and four days.

The day we signed the divorce papers at Attorney Pucciarelli's office.

Yes, I remember. We were so young.

We didn't know what we were doing.

I knew what I was doing. I don't know about you.

Don't be mean.

I did my best.

But I've already forgiven you for everything.

Me, however, I will never forgive you

for leaving me.

But you should know that I don't hold any grudges.

Okay?

I always keep nice memories

of the times we spent together.

Is that so?

Why? You don't?

Well, it was what it was.

There's a reason why it didn't last, Eliseo.

It didn't last because you left.

We made such a good couple.

Yeah...

As good as it could be, yeah.

No, not "as good as it could be." Just good. Very good.

We could've lasted a lifetime together.

[scoffs] No, I doubt it.

At best, we could've lasted one, or two more years.

Not much longer than that.

Why not? We got along great. What do you mean by that?

What's done is done.

No, what is done? What?

Was there a problem? What? I don't...

I feel like...

Like we could never really connect.

Sexually, I mean.

We never talked about it. What was the matter?

People didn't talk about those things back then. I don't know.

With you, I couldn't...

Well, I never got to...

I don't know how to say this.

I never got to enjoy it fully.

It was always bad, quick...

Was that my fault or yours?

Let it go. It's fine, Eliseo.

No, it's not fine. Was I the problem?

Well, let's just say I never had a problem afterwards in that...

in that department.

Oh.

Well then...

Eliseo.

-Nacho. -How are you?

-Hi. You went through a breakup again? -No.

Mom's going to Europe with her friends.

I'm here to take care of Salom, her new dog.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

All good.

You seem odd.

No, not at all. It's all good.

You don't look good. Something's wrong.

-Not at all. I'll help you with those. -No, it's fine. I can do it.

Okay.

-See you. -See you later, Nacho.

Bye-bye.

Look at those assholes.

They're surely plotting against me.

[chuckles] Yes. They're just like you.

You compete to see who's the meanest.

Please, don't compare me with them.

These filthy hyenas aren't even remotely like me.

[Beba] Just look at the eggplant Froilán has stuffed between his legs.

Now that's what I call a man.

Stop it, woman. You're so vulgar.

[Beba chuckles]

You're going down, bastards.

You're going down.

[chuckles]

[doorbell rings]

[Salom barks]

-Hi. -Eliseo.

-What's up, Nachito? -How are you?

Good. How are you? Are you settled? Need anything? Can I give you a hand?

No, everything's perfect. Thanks for asking.

Speaking of asking. I have a question. Maybe you can help me.

Got a minute?

Yes, I was about to walk Salom. Want to join me?

Yeah, sure.

Let's go. [imitates kiss sound]

[Salom panting]

I gotta tire him out.

[Salom barking]

The vet said he suffers from anxiety and that's why he can't sleep.

So I make him run in the evening, you see? That wears him down.

And then I give him three drops of clonazepam

and he sleeps like a log.

Otherwise, he goes into wolf mode and starts howling. [imitates howl]

-Really? -Yes. All night long.

[ball thudding]

-There he goes. -Yes.

-Ay, ay, ay. -It's crazy.

Ah, I wanted to ask you something.

Yes.

I remember you once told me

about the benefits of tantric sex.

-Remember? -Oh, yes.

-We talked about that. -I remember.

You remember too.

And I was thinking... Do you still practice it?

It's not a fad. Tantra is a way of life.

-Sure. -Yes.

Sure, sure, sure.

Tell me, did it ever happen to you that,

in the middle of the act, the woman wasn't fully enjoying it?

-No. -No.

The sessions are four, five hours long.

You can't keep up if there's no pleasure.

-Sure. -No.

[Salom barking]

Why do you ask?

-Are you thinking of doing it? -No.

-Not at all. -Why not?

Even if I wanted to, I'm not your age anymore.

Age has nothing to do with it.

Some people who practice it are 80, 90 years old.

In fact, the more mature you are, the better you know yourself,

and the better you perform.

Ah. Ah. Okay.

So let's just say, for example, that I want to try it. Where do I start?

One of the main pillars of tantra

is the detailed and conscious exploration of your own body.

Ah...

So you have to check the machine regularly.

-You can't even start without that. -Sure.

Have you had a medical checkup lately?

The last time I had one

was my pre-employment checkup in February 1991, for my current job.

And why didn't you go see a doctor for over 30 years, Eliseo?

I didn't find it necessary. I'm in perfect control of my body.

I'm sorry to ask, but...

shouldn't you see a doctor who's covered by your insurance?

Yes, probably,

but since I know you, and I know you're good...

I hate to divulge my intimate affairs and medical records to strangers.

-Thanks for the charcuterie board. -My pleasure. It's premium.

It's from Migliora Deli, from Quilmes. It's very good.

[doctor] Okay, let's continue.

Do you take any meds?

-No. -No.

Do you have a history of hereditary illnesses?

I don't know. I cut all family ties a long time ago.

Okay.

All right, I'll request several exams, okay?

Full blood work, chest X-ray,

an ECG, abdominal, renal and thyroid ultrasound,

a prostate exam and, most importantly,

a full colorectal checkup with colonoscopy.

Oh. [shudders softly]

Okay, these are the instructions

and the consent form you must sign for the general anesthesia.

General anesthesia?

-Hi. -What's up, Eliseo? Went for a checkup?

Yes. They recommended some exams. I booked the appointments, so we'll see.

-But that's not why I'm here. -Yes.

-Do you know the Galurdiáns from 7B? -Yes.

They have a Balinese kitten that just had a hip surgery, poor thing.

She's in pain and can't sleep.

Can I borrow some of that clonazepam you told me about for them to try on her?

Yes, sure. But watch the dosage.

If it's a tiny kitten, one drop will do.

I give Salom three drops and that knocks him out.

Perfect, just one.

-I'll go get it. -Thanks.

Hi, friend! What's with you? You can't sleep?

[knocking on door]

[door clicks]

What are you doing here?

I'm here to bury the hatchet, my friend.

I'm laying down my weapons.

I know I was wrong.

I can't just impose my company's services and expect you to accept it.

So I'm apologizing to you all, one by one.

And I got you this little gift, which I know you love.

Cubanitos.

Look where I got them from.

-From Nuevo Escudo! -Yes.

-These are the best! -[chuckles]

All right.

Thanks for the gift

and the apology.

Okay.

Want some mates?

-That sounds great. -Come in.

I think that

we need to stick together, now more than ever.

We are struggling for our own survival.

Yes, I totally agree.

-I'm done. They're delicious. -What? You're not having another one?

I had pork and potatoes for lunch.

I have a little stomachache.

I'll save them for tomorrow.

No, don't be ungrateful.

I brought them with the best intentions. Don't insult me.

Have one more. They're light. Come on!

-One more. -One more, go on.

-Dulce de leche. -My God, they're my downfall.

Mmm.

They taste a little weird.

I can't really tell what it is.

Keep eating and you'll see.

[crunching]

Mmm.

You're not eating?

I'm fasting because I have some medical exams tomorrow.

But I got them for you, so you go ahead and eat.

Where were we?

[sighs]

Ah!

[breathily] We have to...

stick together, now more than ever.

We can't be screwing each other over.

[breathes heavily]

Are you okay?

I'm a little dizzy.

[panting]

[snoring]

Hey.

Ungrateful son of a bitch.

Asshole.

[keys jangling]

[♪ sinister music playing]

[woman on PA system] Passengers on flight 1447 to Buenos Aires,

please proceed to the boarding area.

[laughs]

GOD HOMELAND

[snoring]

Hey.

Hey.

What happened?

You got a strong liver pain.

Maybe the pork you ate wasn't properly refrigerated

and you got food poisoning.

I panicked at one point because you dropped as if you were dead.

Are you okay?

-Do you want me to call someone? -No.

-No? -I'm fine.

Okay.

You have to go see a doctor. I don't like what I saw. It was like, bam!

You fell hard.

At our age, we need to have checkups once in a while, you know?

This goes in the freezer.

When you eat them, they'll be crunchy, like freshly baked.

Okay? Can you open downstairs for me?

Gómez.

Colleague.

Balancing your chakras is a fundamental part of tantra.

They're the energy vortexes through which our body's vital energy flows.

How do you balance them?

Let's start with a Tibetan walk, okay?

You'll walk like a robot in that direction.

Lift your knee and your opposite arm.

Hold it, step with your ankle.

And then lift the other side.

Lift, hold, and step. Always at a 90-degree angle.

Coordinated movements.

Start walking this way.

-Now? -Yes. Go on.

Lift, hold, and step. There you go.

Perfect. Then you go back.

-People are watching. -No, nobody's watching.

-Contract the perineum. -What's the perineum?

The pelvic floor, so to speak.

It's the space between the genital area and the...

Yes, I got that.

Good.

If you control the perineum, you control the sphincter.

That way, we delay the ejaculation for the benefit of the woman.

-Okay. Is that all? -Go and come back.

-You can start. Lift... -Wait for the lady to pass.

It's okay. Focus, breathe, and lift.

There you go!

Step. Yes. Very good.

[woman speaking on PA system]

Is he your dad?

-What? -Is he your dad?

No.

-Your uncle? -No.

A friend?

No.

Are you a couple?

He's my subordinate, ma'am. My employee.

Any other question?

-Basurto. -Yes.

This way, please.

Be strong, Eliseo.

[siren wailing in distance]

This is a colonoscope.

It's a thin, flexible tube with a built-in camera.

Perfect.

Did you take the laxative?

If you didn't follow the instructions to a tee,

we may have to repeat the exam and we don't want that, do we?

I sure don't. Don't know about you.

-What? -Nothing.

-Lie down. We'll start. -Okay.

Lie down and take the knee to your chest.

There. That's good.

I will ask you to count down from 10, okay?

Shall we?

Ten,

nine,

eight,

seven...

[machine beeping faintly]

-Basurto's relatives? -Yes.

This way, please.

-Okay, that's good. -Okay.

-That's it. Let's go. -Done.

-Let's go. -Ready?

-Wait. I got dizzy. -Easy, step by step.

-There we go. -Okay, let's go.

-[knocking on door] -Excuse me.

-How are you feeling? -Good. Perfect.

-I took a sample for the lab. -Okay.

We'll have the results in 15 days, but don't worry,

from what I saw, everything looks normal.

I wasn't concerned about anything.

-Can I ask you a question, doctor? -Yes.

Having so many fields in medicine...

I mean, you could've been a neurologist, a cardiologist, a pediatrician.

But one day, you woke up in the morning and said,

"I'll devote my whole life to inspecting the rectum of grown men."

Frankly speaking, that's not normal. Excuse me, doctor.

That's crazy.

Goodbye.

[doorbell buzzes]

Froilán, do you have a minute?

Is there something wrong?

Yes, I'm looking for my laptop. I can't find it anywhere.

Apparently, it disappeared.

-Your what? -My laptop, my portable computer.

Weird.

Yes, it's weird.

Did you watch the delivery guys when they brought in the couch?

Yes, of course.

That's odd. Only you have the key to my apartment.

But did you really search for it?

You don't think it was me, do you?

Show him, miss.

Froilán, I have an app that tracks my devices,

and it points right here.

-My apartment? It must be a mistake. -Yes, here.

-Right over there. -Come in.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Hey!

Son of a bitch!

I'll kill you, you motherfucker!

Wow, may I know what's wrong?

I know you did it. Do you think I'm dumb?

I did what?

You stole that girl's computer

and then you planted it in my apartment to make me look like a criminal.

Listen to the story you made up.

Let's say I committed that stupidity.

How did I get into an apartment of a building that isn't mine,

steal a computer and plant it in your house?

Care to explain how I did it?

The cubanitos.

Son of a bitch.

No wonder they tasted funny.

You put some drug in the cubanitos to knock me out while you did your shit.

That's offensive, Froilán.

You have to take responsibility for your actions.

You know what? I'll take responsibility for my actions.

I'll beat the crap out of you.

Come on and fight me if you're a real man, motherfucker!

Come on! Come on!

-You pussy! -Stop it!

-You fucking pussy! -Stop! What's wrong? Stop!

Stop what? I'll destroy him!

It's not the way. You won't achieve anything like this.

Take this ape for some tea, Gómez. Take him.

We must be smart against Eliseo.

You don't know who you messed with, son of a bitch!

Take that ape away.

Off you go.

[dogs barking in distance]

[doctor] Okay, Eliseo. I have the results of your exams.

I've been reviewing them carefully and I even consulted with some colleagues.

Why? Did you see anything weird?

Yes, the weird thing is you're in perfect health.

It's rare to reach your age

without any illness and without medication.

Are we done, then?

No. I suggest you find a family doctor,

it doesn't have to be me, to start getting regular checkups,

start a daily exercise routine, and also...

No. Thanks, but no.

I got this far without the help of medicine.

I'm not going to change.

Besides, I think it'll be an unnecessary cost to the health system.

I'd rather those resources be used by people who really need them.

Now we're gonna use all the abdominal strength

to bring the pelvis to the ball.

-How do I do that? -Like this. Look.

Like a bristling cat.

Arch your back, chin to chest, contract the perineum.

The cat relaxes.

Push out with your head and hips.

There you go.

The cat bristles.

-The cat relaxes. -There. Contract the perineum.

Stop saying the word "perineum," it's awful.

Okay, fine.

The cat bristles.

The cat relaxes.

MOVERS

Bye, Froilán Ravarotto.

It's a shame you wouldn't let Eliseo help you.

[engine revving]

[♪ sinister music playing]

BIS

[cell phone ringing]

Hi, Clarita?

It's Eliseo.

I'm doing well.

I'm sorry to bother you,

but I'm calling to make you a proposal.

Yes.

What are you doing this Saturday?

Want to have dinner at home?
