BASED ON A TRUE STORY, BUT NAMES AND CHARACTERS

AND CERTAIN EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL.

RESEMBLANCE TO REAL PEOPLE OR INCIDENTS IS COINCIDENTAL.

THE INTERNATIONALS BUENOS AIRES CONNECTION

Yes, the gang has been operating in the country

for a while now.

They are known as The Internationals.

They're Colombian criminals who, after the bank curbs,

saw Buenos Aires as an interesting place

to seize the dollars that are outside the banking system.

What can you tell us about the case?

We're currently interrogating potential local accomplices.

Is this related to the robbery at the house of Congressman Romero?

It's possible.

We seized a hard drive

that could belong to Congressman Romero.

Susy didn't deserve this crap.

We'll pay for her lawyer if necessary.

I hope she doesn't open her mouth.

I don't think so. She's loyal.

I'm glad we can at least trust someone.

What got into that prosecutor?

Didn't we have an agreement with her?

Nice agreement.

She's hunting us down.

She's giving the press what they want.

She has other plans. We're just a minor prize.

Well, I'm nobody's prize.

I want out of this damned country. How do I have to say it?

You be quiet. You're the first one who made things worse.

If I hadn't burst in with that gun,

you wouldn't have been able to switch the bills. So back off.

-We're loaded now thanks to me, too. -Tino, that's enough, bro.

We don't want to hear it.

But I agree, we have to leave this damned country once and for all.

I don't know what we're doing here.

There are so many places we could go to.

I've always wanted to go to Las Vegas.

That place makes my mouth water, guys.

I want to go to Paris.

What about you?

I can't think about that right now, honey.

Is this the gang led by Nico's biological father?

Whatever you call him.

I called him, but he doesn't pick up.

I don't know where else to look for him.

Why don't you ask Carlos for help?

No.

Not Castillo.

He's very close to my dad,

I don't want him to tell him and worry him.

Well, relax. If he wants to meet Nico,

he'll show up eventually.

What are you doing here?

I saw it. What about it?

Do you think I don't know that the place

where those girls were filmed is the same place Castillo took me to?

Tell me you didn't know.

You can't see anything, this image is not clear.

I checked the video frame by frame.

It's exactly the same place where I was held.

I thought you two were in this together, but...

I see you aren't.

That friend of yours is a real box of surprises, huh?

What do you want, Montalbán?

For Castillo to pay.

To pay for this crap.

For killing my friend.

For stealing a fortune in diamonds from me.

And for all the darkness he's sown on this world.

Personal revenge?

Let's say I have my aims, like you have yours.

And if you think Castillo is your ally, think again.

Because his crap will stain you, too.

I don't need advice, thanks.

Congressman Romero is just a pawn in all this.

I checked the hard drive well.

He's just a client.

He paid a fortune to be with one of those girls.

If you search well, you'll find the data.

The big fish is the supplier.

Either Castillo or someone above him.

And if you want to be a Supreme Court Justice,

you'll have a better chance if you dismantle a sex trafficking network

than by blackmailing some poor Congressman.

Think about it.

Did you get any rest?

Sort of.

We have a visitor.

Sleepy head! Come here.

-Give me a kiss. -Wait, Mom.

I have something very important to say.

What is it?

I want to meet my biological father...

if it doesn't make you sad.

No, it doesn't make me sad. Of course.

Of course you'll meet him, Nico.

-Nobody followed me. -Good.

Thanks for your loyalty, Susy.

You have to leave the country now.

And not because of the cops. Because of Castillo.

He's dangerous.

He went nuts when he saw you escaped.

He went after me. The prosecutor stopped him.

-Marta Costas? -Yes, her.

She was more calm, as if she knew they weren't going to find you.

Did you set up a factory?

We did a job that went better than expected.

I'm going to miss you, you know.

And not because of this.

I'm not leaving yet.

Maybe the guys will, but I'm not done here, Susy.

I hope you find what you're looking for, dear.

Thanks.

Susy, can I ask you for one last favor?

That boy looks just like his father.

I have a message for you.

It's not easy for him.

Hi, how are you?

We're from the cable company.

We had to cut off the internet and phone service

because of the wiring issues we're having in this street.

When will the services be back? And please don't break anything.

No, it'll be back tomorrow.

That's why we have to enter your house and that one.

So we can reconnect the cables to the street posts.

Okay. Fine. What time will you be here?

-In the morning. -Okay. Fine.

-See you tomorrow. -Thanks.

Bye.

I saw the news.

I was worried.

The last time I came here,

Castillo caught me.

That bastard almost killed me.

He's the worst scum.

So why are you here?

Do you want to be killed for real?

When Castillo was pointing the gun at me,

all I could think about was you and Nicolás.

I had a knot in my throat

because I was so sad to die

and never having been able to hug him.

Nicolás wants to meet you.

Really?

Thanks.

Don't thank me.

Thank him. He said yes.

Now that I look you in the eyes,

I feel the same way I felt on our last night in Bogota.

And problems aren't as big as they seem.

Our problems

were huge that night.

Diminson is dead,

and my father is crippled.

I don't want anyone else to suffer because of us.

What about you? Don't you suffer?

Because I do.

I suffer because...

of what I want

and can't... have.

Our story happened in another life.

It's not possible in this one.

I won't deny Nico the chance to have you in his life.

As long as you don't pose a risk to him.

But for the rest of my life, I made a choice.

Luis and Nicolás are my family.

You love justice so much, Counselor,

that you sent people in to raid my home.

You're quite the Machiavelli.

Before, I was a nobody. Now I'm Machiavelli.

-I must have moved up a bit. -But you've got nothing.

Are you sure about that?

Listen, Counselor, no matter how many account movements you detected,

you'll have to prove what you're thinking of now.

I don't think you're measuring the consequences

that this process could mean for you.

You want to play hardball?

Okay. Let's play hardball.

Do you know what you can do with your extortion?

No. You tell me.

You think you're funny now?

Do you want to have a pissing match with me?

I didn't know you were that vulgar, Romero.

Though you really are a box of surprises.

What do you think of this?

That's right. Sexy. That's right.

Turn around.

They're minors, aren't they?

Sixteen, seventeen.

I have one question. Did you buy them?

Rent them? Return them? How did that work?

CONGRESSMAN ROMERO'S CANDIDATE FOR THE SUPREME COURT: COSTAS

You did it.

I'm a candidate. I have to remain cautious.

Cautiousness is for cowards.

And you're always ready for a fight.

-Well, that's my style, isn't it? -Yes, it's your style.

How did you do it?

You don't want to know.

Castillo has something to do with it.

Not as much as you think.

-He really complicated things. -Imagine that.

I think he's got an expiry date already.

I hope you never say that about us.

Us?

We'll always be together. Right?

-Bye. -Always, yes.

Okay, Tino, don't screw it up.

I don't want any mistakes.

This will be quick. I'll just be in an out, man.

The important thing is not to open your mouth.

They can't know we're Colombians.

-I'll do the talking, okay? -Sure, dude.

I get it, just relax.

Go on, climb up there.

Guys, I'm leaving. If you need anything, let my wife know.

-Right, thanks. -No problem. Bye.

Bye.

Hey. I'll go now.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you the one fixing our cable?

Yes.

Please hurry up. I'm really bored.

Yeah, we're on it.

-Hey, how old are you? -I turned 10 on May 14.

Right.

And you? When's your birthday?

December 15.

Hey, can you do me a favor? Let me know when reception is back.

Where are the others?

Mario went out on his own.

What about Walter?

-He went out to rob. -What?

Yeah. That damned woman who dated his father.

It looks like she's living it up here in Buenos Aires.

Good morning.

Do you need anything?

I actually do, babe.

I want to remind you where you come from,

because you seem to have forgotten with this life of luxury.

You're a gold-digger. You left your country

without a dime to your name and a dead man in your past.

Damn it.

And look where you live now. A mansion. Great.

You did it, babe. You did it.

My father wanted you to live like a queen.

Like you wanted.

But, hey, my dad's dead.

The last time I saw you,

you were a boy, Walter.

The last time I saw you, my dad was on the floor,

with a pool of blood under his head.

Listen to me, okay?

Look at me.

I was the one that shot your dad, okay?

Not Fausto. It was me.

And do you know what I regret most?

That I didn't empty the magazine on the bastard.

So Fausto did time for you.

-He never told me. -What do you mean?

Why would he tell you?

That kid's my brother, isn't he?

I see you don't know anything.

Anything about what?

What do I have to know, Mafe? Tell me.

I'm not the one you have to talk to.

Tell me, you bastard!

Now tell me the truth to my face, you jerk!

Is Mafe's son yours or not, goddamn it?

Talk!

Your dad and Mafe we're not dating anymore.

But Nicolás is my son.

You bastard!

You damned bastard! That bullet was for you!

That bullet was for you! My dad shouldn't have died!

Drop dead, you bastard! Drop dead!

Calm down!

Let me go!

I understand your pain.

It kills me every day, what do you think?

Listen to me.

That night, we were all happy about the diamonds.

I was going to tell your dad,

but Mafe's dad arrived with that bastard, Castillo, and ruined it.

Stop it, damn it. Let me go now!

You ruined everything, bastard.

You're the one who ruined everything by breaking all the rules.

I thought a partner's girl was off limits.

I thought brothers looked after each other.

You're just a damned coward.

And you know what else?

You should practice what you preach,

because you brought us here and got us in trouble

because you were going after a chick and the damned kid you gave her.

Are you happy now, bastard? Go to hell.

Yes, I came for my son. What of it?

-You could have done that alone! -All of you shut the hell up!

Shut up!

You came and begged me to get you out of Las Cruces,

you wanted to be Internationals!

And I helped you! I helped you do that!

I needed a gang, okay?

So I could get here with money and not see my son empty-handed.

Okay?

It's just an arrangement, everybody wins!

-We win? -That's enough, bastard!

We win?

I won't let you keep ruining our lives.

Do you know who's going to be the only loser?

-You, man. -That's enough, dude. Put that down.

Shut up!

You know traitors

have to pay, don't you?

Yes, I do.

Well, your time has come, you bastard.

Wait. Wait, wait.

Mario, listen to me, bro. Listen, buddy.

Believe me, I want to kill him more than you do.

But don't get your hands dirty. It's not worth it.

It's not worth it, Mario. Believe me.

Plus, we'll settle this crap in Colombia, among ourselves.

Remember that, okay?

The difference is that we follow rules.

Okay, buddy? Okay, bro?

Okay, man?

-Listen to Walter. -Put the gun down.

Come on, dog, put that down now.

Please put it down.

You bastard!

You know what? Be glad I didn't blow your brains out, damn it!

You really messed things up this time.

Who is it?

You used me, Marta.

You used to me to extort Romero!

Calm down, mind that tone. You don't know what you're saying.

Are you afraid of people finding out you're just as corrupt as he is?

You extorted him, you've got him under your thumb

so he can support your candidacy!

You never thought about denouncing him, did you? Damn you!

Wait, calm down. What's with the teenage catharsis?

I need you, okay?

I don't care. I'm leaving. This is disgusting.

Wait! This is political.

This is.

Getting your hands dirty. Rolling in the mud.

You became the ally of a corrupt man

to satisfy a personal ambition! That's it!

Romero is worse than corrupt.

Sit down and watch.

That's right. Show me again.

Take off your underwear.

Take off your underwear.

No crying. No crying. No, don't cry.

Don't cry, please. Don't cry. Relax.

-What is this? -Sex trafficking.

Here's my aim. To reach the court

so I can bust them all.

And I want you there with me.

Thank you for all of this.

Don't thank me, I'm doing it for Nicolás.

So he doesn't resent me some day.

You're his biological father. He has the right to meet you.

He'll grow up and decide

if he wants to keep his ties to a criminal.

Luckily, that's not hereditary.

In the bag you have the things the guys robbed.

And I'm sorry.

They're just young, they don't know how to apply certain principles...

Principles? What are you talking about?

Listen to me. Are you kidding me?

Look, honestly...

I think it's important for any kid to know where he comes from.

But look who's talking.

Principles?

Stuff them in a suitcase and get out of our lives as soon as possible.

I don't want to be a problem for your family, okay?

But I don't want to be a stranger to my son, either.

"My son"? You don't even know who Nico is!

You don't know what he likes,

what food he eats, if he likes the movies,

what he thinks is funny, if he has allergies, you know nothing.

You're right about that.

But I didn't abandon him.

That may be.

Same difference, though.

You weren't there for him. And I was.

I don't want to compete with you.

On the contrary. In fact...

I admire you greatly.

I admire and respect

the education you gave Nico.

I didn't come here to steal your family.

I just want to meet my son so he knows who I am.

That's all.

Please?

-You know what? -What?

I have a present for you.

Let's see it.

-Wow! -Do you like them?

They're pretty. I love them.

Thanks.

You know I'm serious, don't you?

Do you want to go to Europe?

First, I need to look for a job.

Will you come with me?

I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth.

Come on, honey. They're here.

Well... we'll leave you two alone.

We'll be upstairs.

I've waited for this moment for a long time.

Not me. I only recently found out who you were.

It'll be six hours a day and one day off.

Day off? What do you mean?

The off-day, the day you don't work.

-What do you call it in Colombia? -Festive day.

I love it!

-You bastard! -Calm down.

Let her go, she has nothing to do with this.

I'll be the judge of that.

I'll give you the chance to decide what happens next.

What the hell do you want?

Your boss.

I don't have a boss.

If you don't want this girl to end up in a whore house

in the Argentine hinterland, you'll give me Montalbán.

You don't need to threaten her,

and especially not me, to get me to give you Fausto.

We know where she lives, where she works.

And she's good people, not like you guys.

Don't ruin her life.

Aren't you listening to me?

I'm telling you that I'm going to serve you Fausto on a platter.

On the condition that you leave my girl and my friends alone.

I'll take you to the place we're staying at,

I'll set everything up,

and when I've got Fausto ready, you can have him.

-Alright? -You don't get it.

You don't get it. I don't have the time

to wait for you to deign to hand him over.

If you don't do it soon, we'll kill her.

Her mother and her nephews.

Is that clear?

-Is that clear? -Yes.

But why didn't you come before?

Because I only found out you were my son recently.

But it was great news.

-Are you sure? -Of course.

And I wanted to apologize.

Because I didn't have the chance to be your dad.

But I want you to know

I love you with all my heart.

And it makes me feel

very proud and happy

that you're my blood.

Now that I look in your eyes,

a lot of things are starting to make sense.

I feel that a lot of the mistakes I made

and problems I've encountered,

things I went through,

were worth it now.

If they happened so that you and me could be here today.

Do you have a dad or mom?

No.

Or brothers. My mom died 15 years ago.

I stopped seeing my dad when I was about your age.

You know, your grandpa was a train driver.

He drove a tramway in Bogota.

But they soon took him to the rainforest, to fight.

Who did?

In my country, there's a lot of poverty,

and there's a war.

It's hard to explain, but sometimes,

they take people away and force them

to fight that war.

Did he die?

I don't know. I guess so.

What was his name?

Gerardo.

-Was he kind? -He was very kind.

I remember I'd go to the train with him, and...

I loved the sound of the tracks.

The rails, the barriers.

That world I'd see through the window.

And he'd hug me and say it was the best job in the world.

Because you're always going forward.

And he'd say, "Go forward, son."

So when I see some rails or tracks on the street,

it's like I see him.

Because there was a time when I...

had lost my way and...

I needed a train driver to guide me.

That's why I know

what it's like to grow up without a father.

In fact,

there's someone I really love

whose father died when he was your age.

He had a hard time.

I have a dad.

Luis is great.

I'm sure he is.

And...

don't worry, I don't hope to replace him.

I just want you to know there's somebody else

who thinks about you

and...

no matter where I am, I'll always try

to light a candle so you'll find me easily,

whenever you need help.

What's this? Are they real?

It was the dog lady's.

The jeweler didn't want it.

It's obviously fake. But it does the trick.

-Thanks. -No problem.

What a crappy country, huh?

Yeah.

In want to leave on good terms.

Really good terms.

There's something I like about it.

-Really? -You don't like anything?

Not in the least.

You know what? I'm just going to look ahead.

And I'll follow you anywhere, cousin. Really, anywhere.

Dude, you haven't started packing. Come on.

I'm not leaving, partner.

What do you mean?

Are you still going to go along with this?

Why are you staying here? There's nothing to do.

Don't leave me alone.

I won't leave you, babe, get that through your head.

But this isn't about you.

I know it's not about me. That's what pisses me off.

You'll stay to get revenge against the guy who killed your dad.

But think about it.

Come on, man, stay with us.

Why are you staying? Let that guy ruin his life.

Why should you?

Tino's right. You're not a murderer.

I know I'm not a murderer, Jenny. I know that.

But if you love me, you have to understand

that I have to make that bastard pay, okay?

I do understand.

But I don't want you to stay here.

What's going on?

Buenos Aires is over.

At least it is for us,

because Walter wants to stay and ruin his life.

What do you mean?

He wants to stay and get back at his father's killer.

Walter, dude.

Don't get your hands dirty. Don't be stupid.

It's not worth it.

What about you, Mario? Are you leaving or staying?

I'm obviously leaving with the gang.

The whole gang.

You guys need to understand something.

Look, I'm not leaving yet.

Then neither am I. And neither are you guys.

Not until this guy stops playing hitman.

-Partner, cut it out, okay? -We're all screwed now, okay?

So the smartest thing we can do right now

is leave this crappy city and never see Fausto's face again.

But it's all of us, or none of us.

Thanks.

Honey, you have a tennis class.

Do you want me to cancel, or do you want to go?

Don't cancel for me.

-Yes, cancel it. -No, no, no.

You can't cancel tennis class, no. We paid for it.

Do you want to be good? You have to practice.

That's what the instructor said. Come.

If you don't practice, you won't do well.

Honey, listen, get the truck ready. Go to the truck with your mom.

I'll get your bag upstairs. It's getting late. Please.

-But... -No, I mean it.

I'LL BE OUT IN 15 MINS. CASTILLO: OK

The bastard.

Bastard.

Is this yours?

Yes, I called a cab.

You sold me to Castillo, bastard!
