Máxi...

Talk to me.

What do you want me to say?

Tell me about Brussels.

Brussels was a disappointment.

Cold. It rains most of the time...

And Alex?

Can we not talk about this now?

Shall I pull over so you can talk?

No, no, no.

I saw it coming, you know.

You weren't born to fulfill a secondary role.

The Apostle said, the man is the image of God.

The woman is the image of the man.

A woman is to a man, what imperfection is to perfection.

The wife's job is to help her husband.

He does the intellectual work.

She...

Helps him raise the children.

He is dedicated to the work, while she...

Attends to him.

Your name?

Zorreguieta, Máxima.

Did you want to say something?

If what you're saying is correct,

then why do women go to university?

If what I say is correct?

We are talking about St. Thomas Aquinas.

Yes, but according to St. Thomas Aquinas, women are only good for reproduction.

So why am I here then?

Do you dare question the teachings

of one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Catholic theology?

Yes, but the criticism of St. Thomas Aquinas arguments was

that he took that for granted in his theories.

No one cares what you think, Miss Zorreguieta.

You're no longer allowed to follow this class.

I'm serious.

Get out of my class.

Now!

Máxi.

You don't want to know.

I understand they teach us the doctrine of theologians,

but that man really holds on to those theories.

Women are second-class creatures.

He's on the edge of calling us incubators.

He's an idiot, sexist and paternalistic.

No one said anything, of all the people who were there.

What? Should I have kept my mouth shut?

No, sometimes you can be right but you won't be proved right.

Sometimes you don't have to be silent.

Shall I talk to him?

No.

Hello.

I need a new pass for access to the fifth floor please.

- Name? - My name is Máxima Zorreguieta.

Your autograph, please.

- Thank you. - Here.

I no longer work on the second floor.

I start at Maria Laura today, a few floors up.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

So, Mario...

Mario thought I was socially strong,

but not convincing enough to advise clients.

So is he also a sexist and paternalistic prick, or was he right?

He was a little right.

Maria Laura was looking for help in sales for her Latin American department.

So...

Very good.

Come on, you're going to be late.

Yes boss.

- Máxima, welcome. - How are you doing?

Ladies, this is Máxima, she'll work with us.

They study the political and economic perspectives

of the fast-growing markets in Latin America.

We analyze listed companies to find out which ones are promising.

Coffee?

If we come up with accurate, well-founded analyses, our customers are happy.

You have to sell the research of my Angels .

Angels ?

They call us Laura's Angels.

This desk is all yours.

If you have questions, always ask. Okay?

Thank you.

Welcome again.

It's incredible. She's smart, she's funny, but she's also strict.

She runs the entire department alone.

Only women.

Wow, incredible.

Martín.

- Hi. - How are you?

- Tincho! - Hi, Vale.

- Are you all right? - Yes, fine, what do you do?

I talk to investors from all over the world.

While I'm having passionate conversations about fly-fishing in Puerto Madryn,

I link them to our studies on bonds and stocks.

I don't know how you manage to combine work and studying.

This work pays my study, and it is also practical experience.

- It helps me. - To you.

To us, and for the world we're about to conquer.

- Is he looking at me? - Yes.

- Is he really looking at me? - Yes, he really is.

It's Tiziano. Tiziano Iachetti, remember?

Of course I remember.

I'm going.

- Go! - For what?

What are you waiting for?

- What should I say? - You'll figure it out.

Two tequilas.

Look, there they are.

Thank you.

Here, the salt.

- Yours. - Thank you.

Salt, tequila and lemon.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

That burns, right?

A lot.

Yes?

- A lot. - How much?

Is that my brother?

Don't touch me!

Martín!

- James, fuck. What are you doing? - What?

- Fucking asshole! Idiot! - Stop, stop it!

Do you want to start again? Want me to beat the shit out of you?

Go away.

Fucking hell.

Oh, Martín.

Do you want to tell me?

What?

What's going on.

I think...

- Do you want to hear what I think? - I'd rather not.

I think you don't realize that you have the biggest opportunity in the world.

You are studying at the best university in Buenos Aires,

and about to start working at the country's best bank.

To make money, save up, buy a house, and provide for a family.

Do you know how many people would kill to be in your position?

You're just like him, exactly the same.

I don't know what you're on about.

I sometimes wonder...

Everything that you've studied, your work, your achievements.

Did you do it for yourself, or for him?

For whom?

Dad.

What do you want to do with your life?

- I don't know. - Shall I help you?

- With your studies, I would... - I did it.

- You did what? - A Suzuki GS 550.

Martín!

I'm going to travel.

I just have to tell Dad.

BOSTON BANK

Don't you worry, Steve.

You don't have to worry.

Just believe in me, I assure you, your money is safe with us.

Yes.

Tell me about your fly-fishing trip.

That's great.

Steve, I'm sorry, can I have one second, please?

- What's up? - Not so loud.

- I'm trying to reel in a fat fish. - Good, but it doesn't have to be so loud.

Here I am, sorry, but you know what?

Let's meet in two weeks. What do you think?

Send me the flight details, and I'll take care of everything.

What do you think? Okay, great, Steve. I will, you too.

Bye.

Steve is reeled in!

An espresso?

Double?

You didn't finish your studies either, dad.

The only thing I want is to make the decisions in my life.

Because I had to work, Martín, work.

You get all the opportunities and you quit in the middle of an academic year.

Finish it so that you at least get a sub-certificate.

Finish it, for whom? For you, Dad?

What are you talking about? So you can tell your friends, is that it?

I have always done this for you. Just for you.

For God's sake, think about me for once.

Just once, think about me. I just can't.

You don't want it, Martín.

You just don't want to.

You know what? You're right.

I don't want to.

I don't care what you think because this is my life.

Mom, she's here.

Juan, help me with the bags.

Máx, please, I've told you before, this is what the press does every time.

Can we just have a normal conversation about this? Call me.

Damn it, Máx, come on. Please pick up the phone.

We have to talk.

What is it you want?

Máx, can you please let me know if you have arrived well, at least?

Please, call me back, okay?

Hello, hello, hello!

- How are you? - You look great.

How is everything going? Is that a mate? Can you make me one?

So Brussels was shit?

Really shit.

What's happened? Finances and numbers... Isn't that the same everywhere?

- Didn't it work with the bank? - I hardly went to the bank.

I was stuck all day in the apartment reading books.

Learning the language...

Have you ever tried to speak that language?

- No, I don't want to try it either. - Try it with me, together.

- Onion. - Onion.

Don't laugh. Come on.

From here, do it from here.

- And now, sugar. - Sugar.

- Groceries. - Groceries.

Coziness.

Coziness.

- Very difficult. - Crazy.

I miss my work.

Do you know what you should do? Buy yourself a motorcycle.

A motorcycle is freedom. Freedom.

Family, listen up. Listen up!

I would like to thank you...

Well, we would like to thank you for coming these days.

Yes guys, thank you all so much.

- It was an eventful year, right Coqui? - Very, for everyone.

Our Máxi is going through a difficult time.

So...

Be kind.

We owe it to Máxi.

Let us toast to our family,

and a couple of great days together.

Máxi.

Don't give up.

You've never done that before, don't do it now.

You're a Zorreguieta.

Can I have one?

Yes, of course.

Are you angry at me?

With you?

No.

Of course not.

I'm angry at those tulip farmers...

And those rats of journalists.

Dad.

Those journalists will keep on digging.

With or without our mistakes.

So if there's anything I need to know...

Then this is the moment.

What are you insinuating?

Nothing.

Angels, since the Mexican government is in serious financial trouble,

our investors are a bit worried.

I just heard from my contacts

that the Mexican peso and the dollar remain linked.

So you can reassure investors.

Make some calls, ladies.

She's always on about Europe, she loves Europe.

I love France, especially outside Paris.

But you must know a lot about Italy, right?

I think that Italy is the most beautiful country in Europe.

- Really? - Yes, I'd love to take Máx there one day.

- Max would die... your daughter would... - Hi.

- Máxi! - I'm sorry.

Sorry, sorry. Hi, my love.

Excuse me, darling.

- Hi, Dad. - You're late.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Maria Laura had information that the dollar remains linked to the peso.

We had to inform our customers.

Hi, Mom.

Interesting.

Are they sure about this?

It seems like it, I even managed to get that big investor to sign.

That's great.

- Yes. - Impressive.

All of that while the Mexican market is so tense.

I told him all our tricks on fly fishing, he turned out to be a fanatic.

- It's delicious, mom. - It's okay, it needs some salt.

Máxi...

Tiziano wants to marry you.

Oh, Inéz...

- Did I say that? - Yes.

Right.

I said that everyone wants to marry Máxima.

Clearly.

Right, I'm going to make coffee.

It's not Italian coffee, but it'll be good.

- I'll help. - No, Tiziano I'll serve the coffee.

No, stay. No need to get up.

- No, I'll help you. - Great.

- Juan... - Help her, Juan.

Those two are thick as thieves.

Have you seen Rio Gallegos? All the way down.

Yes.

I'm going into Chile from there and then up along the coast.

How many kilometers have you traveled?

I don't know. More than 10,000 for sure.

Sometimes I stay in the same place for a while.

Trying some of the Couleur Locale, right? Traveling is amazing.

What about you, tell me ― Tiziano?

Good, very good. I'm happy.

Good? You don't sound very convincing.

It's going well.

If it were up to mom, we would get married now.

And if it's up to you?

I'm good. I'm happy.

If you need a friend,

get a dog.

- Seems like hell to work there. - That's what I live for.

In comparison, the Bank of Boston is child's play.

Everyone screws everyone.

There are other ways.

Maria Laura works differently.

You need to be there.

It all goes down in New York, not in Buenos Aires.

- Great city, right? - Yes, incredible, but not to live in.

- No? - No, I love Buenos Aires.

- I have everything here. - You could start a business there.

Imagine how much you'd earn if you'd live there.

I earn money here as well.

Imagine us walking through Wall Street and Broadway together.

Fancy an ice cream?

Dulce de leche?

Hotel?

- Tell me? - Two hours.

Wait, slower.

- Slower? - Yes.

Wait, wait.

Like this?

- Like this? - Yes.

Like this.

You're so vain.

If you say so.

BREAKING NEWS.

WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW PRESIDENT ZEDILLO,

THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT DETACHES THE PESO FROM THE DOLLAR

Are you okay?

- I have to go. - Wait.

Why? What's going on?

- Where are you going? - To work.

Máx, what's going on?

- See you soon. - But what's going on?

I know, Steve.

I'm really sorry. I...

The department went down the drain.

We have misinformed all our customers.

Investors are big boys, they know how this works.

You bet on a horse in the hope that it will win the race,

if it turns out to be the wrong horse, you can't cry afterwards.

If no one buys Argentine shares or bonds, no one needs our analysis.

When can you graduate?

I have no idea. I have to find a new job first.

Máxi, assuming you only have to study.

Can you graduate in one year?

- Yes. - Good. Then it's done.

You graduate next year, I'll cover the costs.

No, I'll look for a new job. No, it's not necessary.

The most important is to focus on your studies.

I'll take care of the rest.

I'm a nearly graduated economist in an economy that's completely screwed.

There's nothing for me here.

You know what I mean. Right?

I can't leave Argentina.

- I know... - I don't want to leave.

So?

I really want to go to New York.

There's still a lot of time before I graduate.

We can go there together sometime.

Come on Tiziano, relax.

It's not like right now. We still have time anyway.

You've found me.

It took some time...

Listen.

That photo with Emily, it doesn't mean anything.

- I know. - I was just...

This is not about Emily, I don't give a shit about Emily.

It's about the past few months.

Brussels.

The rain.

The Spanish occupation.

Fucking van Oldenbarnevelt.

Luther, your constitutional law, your language.

Alex, it was hell on earth.

That's all fine,

if I know what I'm doing it for.

But you weren't there.

Sweetie, it's been a really hectic couple of months for both of us. I mean...

No!

I made a very conscious decision to be with you.

Knowing that my life would turn upside down.

But you left me alone.

And now your country...

Your country wants to drag my father to court and condemn him.

None of you, not your mother, not you, no one says anything about it.

He might go to jail, and you're all keeping your mouth shut.

You're telling me about that picture with Emily?

Alex?

That was really stupid,

but I just don't know what I'm doing it for anymore.

Hi, are you coming?

The barbecue is ready.

Yes.

Yes, we are coming.

Thank you.

The barbecue is...

You always sing the words wrong! She does it every time!

- Would you sing a Dutch song for us? - You want me to sing a song?

- No, you don't want that, he can't sing. - Máxi, just leave him.

What did she say?

That you can't sing.

Sing!

Say no more.

I'll just leave.

If that's what you want.

Translate it.

Say no more.

Just let me go.

Just be quiet now.

Because this is the last time.

I know you're looking down on me now.

But when things will get better.

I hope you are standing in front of me.

Ah, just say no more.

I'm really sorry.

I really am.

About all the bullshit and the...

The hassle, all the...

Well, the press, everything you have to go through.

But...

Mainly about not being there...

And letting you down.

I understand...

These last few days I thought I was going to lose you.

- That's the last thing I want. - Alex.

Say no more.

How do you even sleep in here?

You're lucky to get a bed at all.

I gave our room away because I assumed you wouldn't show up.

Okay, Miss Zorreguieta.

- Zorreguieta. - Zorreguieta.

- No, no. - I'm saying Zorreguieta.

I promise you we'll see a lot more of each other this year.

Okay?

Okay.

Can't you stay a few more days?

I wish.

My mom was quite persistent,

and when the boss calls...

Bye guys!

- Bye honey. - Bye.

Máxi.

The New Year's toast at the club is tomorrow.

I have to go.

Will you accompany me?

Yes.

- No? - Yes, yes.

No problem, I understand if you don't want to.

Yes, sure.

- Máxima. How are you? - How are you? It's been so long.

A kiss?

I can still see you running around with your braces.

And now look at you.

Remember when they fell into the trash?

Your mother made you look for them until you found them.

Your father is so proud of you.

Well, we all are.

Our future Argentine queen at a centuries-old European court.

- Thank you. - Fantastic.

Cheers.

- And the Prince himself? Where is he? - He had to go back for work.

What a shame, I wanted to meet him.

- Shall we go? - Yes.

- A long way back ahead of us. - Of course.

Let me know how much you'll contribute to Videla.

- Of course, we'll talk later. - We'll speak.

Yes, let's go.

What's that about a donation for Videla?

Dad.

They took his pension after his house arrest.

- So? - A little Christmas charity.

Dad, the Dutch press will find out, they won't understand this.

Of course they won't understand.

They only hear one side of the story.

The National Information Service forbids me to speak with the press.

But the Dutch need to understand that I was in agriculture,

and was part of the civil government.

I had nothing to do with the military regime.

Take it.

- My love, I can't talk right now. - Máx, listen to me carefully.

Our prime minister has secretly ordered an investigation

into the political past of your father.

- This history professor, Michiel Baud... - Hold on.

...was approached by Kok to conduct research.

One second.

Máx? Hello? Máx?

When?

Baud was in Argentina last August, apparently.

So now there is this report with all his findings.

The prime minister wants a meeting with the two of us, to...

To discuss the results as soon as possible.

They've booked a flight for you to Amsterdam tomorrow morning.

Máx, are you still there?
