THE GOOD BOSS

BLANCO SCALES

We have a lot to celebrate.

Thanks to everyone
we've grown this year.

Thanks to Marketing,

the people from R&D,
but without the ability

of the production line

to meet commitments,
we wouldn't be where we are:

Miralles!

Thank you,

really, thank you. For being there,

at the helm.

We have to celebrate,
but without getting care-less,

because thanks to you

today we're finalists for the award
given by the regional government

for business excellence.

"Excellence."

Don't you like the sound
of that word?

There are three candidates.
Three.

And Blanco Scales is one of them.

So in the next few days we'll be getting
a visit from the award committee.

They can show up at any time,

so we have to be alert.

They'll ask you questions

"Hey, what's it like
to work at Blanco Scales?"

And you tell them the truth:
"It's wonderful."

And Mr. Blanco

is like a father to us, we adore him.

Well, you all know my wife and I
don't have children,

and we don't need any

because you're our children.

If you're okay, then I'm okay.

-Not in front of the kids!
-Bullshit!

And just like

with children, well..

sometimes you have favorites.

Or there might be another one

who asks for less, but needs more.

You're going to tell me
what to do!

And sometimes you have to make

difficult decisions,
for the good of the family, right?

Dad!

Dad!

Say it again, let them hear you.

-Sit down.
-José, whar are you doing?

Tell them, if you have the balls.
Tell them I'm fired.

Listen to this gentleman,
he has something to tell you.

-José, get your kids out of here.
-Let them hear it, Rubio.

I want you to tell them.

If you're going to fire me,
tell me in front of them.

José, they can't be here.

Yes, they can. If they can be left
out on the fucking street,

-they can be here.
-José...

With the shitty severance pay
you're giving me!

I understand, really.

I have two homes to maintain!
You know that!

I'll have to leave mine, damn it.

And I'll lose them.

I'll lose them.

-Take them away and we'll talk.
-So I want you to tell them.

So when they ask me why they can't go
to swimming, I'll tell them:

Remember that son of a bitch
in a tie who was so nice

and was so worried about you?
Well, it's his fault you can't go.

It's his fault you can't do anything!

Goodbyes...

Goodbyes are really tough.
Nobody likes having to go.

In this company,
they hurt even more,

because the relationships
we create here go far beyond

what it says in the contracts.

Those of you who knew my father

know that he was a just man,
that's why he made scales.

He'd say: "We care about balance,
equity." I'm seeing him.

"A society that makes more scales
is a society with more justice."

And how right he was.

Your father started with him,
right, Miralles?

They were brothers.

Well, I inherited his passion
for work,

his passion for scales
and his passion for loyalty.

Because loyalty is very important
in this company, as you know.

Very important.

But saying goodbye
is also important because

it's part of life's process.

And today is the end

of an important cycle
for some of you.

And we're here to say goodbye

to those who are emancipating,

to move on to other places,
other challenges.

They stop being worms

and become butterflies.

Okay.

Please, don't get me wrong,
I mean that warmly.

Here we gave you plenty of love.

We taught you everything we know
at Blanco Scales, which is a lot.

We held nothing back.

And, now, Inés, please.

Thank you.

Now we want...

to give you a little something.

So that wherever you fly away to...

you'll always keep us close
to your hearts. Victoria, come here.

Let's see if I can

do this without pricking you.

There.

Calm down.

Stay calm, Vicky.

I love you.

We form very strong bonds
at this company.

I got emotional!

SUNDAY

BLANCO SCALES, ONE BIG FAMILY

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

It's impossible to think
about nothing.

What is he doing?

He's fixing the water filter.

On a Sunday?

There was something
I needed to tell you...

It was important.

But I can't remember.

Then it must not be so important.

Ma'am.

Does it work now?

I couldn't check the boiler,
I haven't had time, boss.

Thanks, don't worry about it.
Go home.

Boss, you always say
that our problems

are your problems,
that if something affects us...

It affects me too, yes.

What's wrong?

My kid got into a fight
and spent

all night at the police station.

The one in the park
mentioned in the paper?

It wasn't them.

The Arabs provoked them,
the paper doesn't say that part.

Oh, God.

He's a good kid, you've known him
since he was a boy.

You came to his baptism,
remember?

It's that group
of friends he hangs around with.

I don't know.

What was the delegate's last name?

His wife goes to the shop.

-De la Encina?
-De la Encina.

COURTHOUSE

You talk to him, boss.
He respects you.

Deal?

We made a pact as gentlemen.

It's a secret, you can't tell anyone.

Have him stop by my wife's shop
on Monday.

We owe you one, boss.

MONDAY

Boss!

What's that?

It's local. A reed warbler.

Its nest must be nearby.

It's been coming around
the last few days.

I give it a little syrup sometimes...

It must be off kilter.

Have someone fix it, please.

It can't be like that.

Good morning, everyone.

Please, stop calling.
You're jamming my phone.

-Good morning, Inés.
-It's José.

He's called ten times this morning.

José, which José.

The guy who brought his kids.
He's out of control.

What do I tell him?

Tell him to calm down,
I'll call him back.

-He wants to talk to Blanco.
-And I want to talk to the Pope.

How ugly.

What an ugly thing to do to your kids.

He's harmless, I'll handle it.

Where was he?

Accounts.

Don't let him take anything.

There's no danger.

We have worse problems.

Miralles? Again?

-He screwed up again.
-Damn it.

And is it serious?

He ordered the wrong processors.

We'll miss the deadline.

Who are they?

The new interns.

Those over there are precision scales.

The...

-Where is the tall one?
-In Marketing.

She has good references.

Of course we'll solve it,
let's just calm down.

What do I do with the processors now?

Send them back?

I can't assemble them,
I have ten men standing around here.

-What's the problem?
-We're missing the deadlines.

There are... inaccuracies.

We make scales, we can't afford

inaccuracies.
When is that shipment due?

It needs to be in the warehouse
on Friday.

-Friday?
-They can't do shifts?

My people don't like.doing shifts.

They're not your people,
they're my people.

Or do you pay them?

We won't make it.

We will, I'm telling you.
We work

Thursday night,
leave early Friday morning,

there by lunchtime.

We'd have to put it on a plane.

It will cost more than we make.

Do the numbers, if they don't work,
tell Sales to let them know.

-Miralles, do me a favor...
-Sorry.

It's important.

Hey, can you hear me?
Listen, we need to talk.

I'm not checking up on you.

He sent a truck this morning
to a fair in Frankfurt

with the wrong shipment.
Electronics

won't even talk to him.
It's like this every day.

-Where are you going, dumbshit?
-There he is.

What are you doing?

Watch where you're going, damn it!

Book me a table for two tonight.

El Rancho?

At El Rancho, yes.

Can you see right through me
or what?

Salva!

Hi, sweetheart.

I won't be home for dinner.
I'm having problems with Miralles

and I need to talk to him.

Do you know him?

He's Fortuna's kid.

I promised his dad I'd help him out

and I thought that maybe

you can give him deliveries,

-errands...
-I don't do deliveries.

Just keep him busy
and out of trouble.

Can't you keep it at the factory?

Yes...

I will, after the committee visit.

Not smart.

Mr. Blanco, welcome.
How are you?

Fine.

-Your boy?
-Great.

Good.

-Hey, what's up?
-How are you?

Hello.

-How is everything?
-Better, better. All fixed.

What's fixed?

The delivery today.

I screwed up,

but it's fixed.

The new shipment is on its way,
they meet halfway,

switch the shipments, no big deal.

Miralles...

Miralles, how long have we been
together

making scales. 20?

22 years.

To me you're not an employee,
that's the first ten years.

After ten years

you become something else,
a friend, a brother...

I don't give a shit

about the shipment.

That can happen to anyone.

What I care about is you.

You say you're fine
and you don't look fine,

Miralles, you look...

You look bad, you look sad...

Like your mind is elsewhere.
What's wrong?

I'm fine.

There's nothing wrong.

Don't treat me like a boss.

If you treat me like a boss,
I'll treat you like an employee.

Are we at the factory?

It's nothing, really.

Remember that time...

Yeah, when our dads
went hunting together.

They used to hunt together,
remember that?

They hunted down a cousin of his.

And we went with them,
we were like ten years old.

And on the way back they left us

in the car and went for a drink,
remember?

And we got into a lot of trouble
because I grabbed the rifle...

and it went off and I almost hit

the dog.

Thank God I have bad aim.

-Do you remember?
-I remember.

Who saved my ass that day?

Tell me, who? Who?

-I did.
-You.

You took the blame to save me.

And your dad gave you a good beating,
that you remember.

Well, this is the same thing,

but I'm the one
who wants to help you.

So tell me what's wrong

and we'll find a solution.

My wife.

Your wife. Did you have a fight?

Yes. And also..

Well...

Also?

She wants to leave.

Aurora? Where?

I don't know where,
she wants to leave in general.

Leave and not come back.

-Dump me like a piece of shit.
-What are you saying?

I don't know what's wrong with her,
but she's acting weirder than ever.

She comes and goes

whenever she wants
and hardly talks to me.

She says she needs air.
Do you understand that? "Air.

I offer to take her to
the countryside and she says

that's not the air she means,
she needs another kind of air.

What fucking air.

What the fuck should I do,
buy her a bottle of oxygen?

Okay, calm down.
Everything will be fine.

No, it won't. It will only get worse.

Balance, Miralles.
Balance is very important.

We make scales, we know a little
about that.

So let's prove it.

Bring us a bottle of wine.
A good one.

How's Miralles?

Normal.

Normal, bad.

His wife...

His wife told him that she needs air.

-Air?
-How do you interpret that?

She's with someone else.

Air?

TUESDAY

BLANCO, THIEF

Hey! Hey!

I've been calling you,
did they tell you?

You see that?

Unbelievable.

I told him, eh?
The boss won't like it.

Blanco, I called you
on the telephone!

Get him out of there
any way you can.

-I can't, boss.
-Why?

That land doesn't belong to anyone,
it's not illegal for him to be there.

I won't let him in,
but I can't make him leave.

I want my job back, Blanco!

Look at my grave!
You killed me!

-You killed me, Blanco!
-Come on!

Yes, you did!
Where are you going?

You killed us!

You killed us! Live with it!

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

-Rubio.
-I heard.

That individual can't be out there
when the committee comes.

-We won't get the award.
-Let me talk to him.

You said "I'll handle it."
And look where he is now.

With banners.

What do the banners say?

What banners always say.
Nothing good.

Maybe if we raise his severance pay...

Okay, negotiate with him.

-Give him double.
-Okay.

Get rid of him. It's not exactly
good for our image.

-Have you seen Miralles?
-I went down earlier

but he wasn't at his desk.

Miralles is not in good shape.

Aurora!

How are you?

You can blindfold me

and put a prune in one hand
and a peach in the other,

can tell you which is which
from the weight.

And the 1100 is the same.

Because it has 800 photo-sensors,

this size, it's amazing.

It hasn't made it here yet,
it will change your lives.

I really don't care.

I supervise the cash registers...

Right, of course.

Did my husband say something?

Was he supposed to?

He didn't send you?

No, on the contrary.
He doesn't even know I came.

Please don't say anything,
he'll kill me. He's very jealous.

No, no.

He's not... well.

He doesn't seem well.

I'm worried about him.

Does he look okay to you?

I don't see him much.

He gets home late from work and...

I leave early in the morning.

The thing is, we're going

through a difficult moment.

A lot is happening this month.
Inspections,

technical checks,

we had to lay people off
and it's causing

a lot of pain, especially for me...

And we can't afford to have him
working at half speed.

My husband?

And problems between a couple

are normal, who doesn't have them?
What movies tell you...

Well...

That's a lie.

I have problems.

Call my wife, she'll tell you.
Shall we call her?

No.

That's why supporting each other
is important.

You have to be there.

When things are bad because..

Are you there?

Am I where?

There, behind...

your husband, supporting him.

We're not going through
our best moment.

I could tell.

Maybe...

Maybe...?

Maybe we both need some air.

Air?

Air.

Breathe a little, get some oxygen.

Air, right, I got it.
I know what air is.

Aurora,

I shouldn't meddle in your lives,
but I'm older.

And old people are right
about some things.

Give yourself a few weeks, please.

And then you'll see.

But...

please promise me
you'll both try.

And don't make any decision
until the end of the month.

-I have to get back.
-Hey, look.

Whatever happened,

you can work it out.
We all make mistakes.

Did he tell you?

Tell me what?

About his affair.

With your secretary.
Three months in hotels.

What?

Inés.

-Yes?
-Shut the door.

Listen, Inés...

Is there something...

that you think I don't know, but...

that maybe...

I should know?

About what?

Is there?

I was going to bring it back
on Monday.

The printer.

It's for my son, he has
to turn in a paper on Friday

and since we barely use it here...

But I'll bring it back tomorrow.

That's okay.
Bring it back on Monday.

We make between
600 and 900 units per year.

Some weigh up to 3,000 kilos.

Pretend I'm not here.
Good afternoon.

They weigh boxes, packages,

nearly all the models
have ramps for trolleys...

These are for cattle.

Resistant to dents, acid, detergent...

They're specially treated
against corrosion

and have four cargo cells.

You don't need one of these
in the bathroom.

And you're wondering
why we need to know all this.

I'm wondering too.

To sell the product
we have to get to know it first.

-That's right.
-Exactly.

-How much do you weigh?
-57.

Get on, I'll show you something.

I don't know how I would take
if they put me

on a scale for cattle.

-How much do you offer for me?
-Nothing.

You work for me,
you're already my property.

56,800.

Angela, can you step on too, please?

It has a weight accumulation function...

No way, there's no deal!

My job! No deal!

He said no.

He doesn't want money,
he wants his job back.

He can't pay his mortgage,

the bank is taking his home
and he's staying there.

Hire back the fired!

Hire back...

Just what we needed.

The kid is in my daughter's class.

The kids..

Can he have them there?
Is that legal?

He and his wife alternate
and this week they're with him.

That's right!
Hire back the fired!

How's the kid?

Bad, because his friends
come to see him,

they gather outside the door
and smoke...

People get scared away

and don't come in, of course.

I remembered earlier what
I had to tell you but I forgot again.

I should have written it down.

Something about...

work or doctors?

What does he want?

Jesus!

What's up?

Look, there she is.

-That's illegal.
-It's on the Internet.

They use it to rescue people
lost in the mountains, it's called

"geo-localization."

It's called spying. You're not rescuing
anyone, you're spying on your wife.

You're invading her privacy, Miralles.

The one invading her privacy
is the son of a bitch in there.

It's a crime and she can
report you for this.

My God.

Are you sure she's in that house?

I'm sure, I'm sure.

But we're checking to be
even more sure.

She's moving, she's moving...

I can't believe we're doing this.

Where is she going?

-To the bathroom?
-What for?

Why the fuck are you going
to the bathroom? Stay in the living room!

That could be the bedroom.

It looks like the back part
of a house.

-Damn it, Blanco.
-What?

Don't say it's the bedroom.

Why not?

You make it sound like
he's fucking her!

You're the one insisting
someone is fucking her.

And you're insisting someone isn't.

-Hey, look.
-What?

She's going around in circles.

What the hell is that,
some kind of fucking ritual?

Let's go.
You don't need to be here.

You can do that at home too.

-Who are the kids with?
-Alone, they're old enough.

They're not even 10 years old.

I'm taking you home,
wait for her there

and when she gets home
you can ask her anything you want.

If she's not already home.

It's moving real fast.

What are they doing,
having races?

WEDNESDAY

Rider...

Spider...

"You're like a spider."

A little weak.

"Blanco, slave driver,

you're a slave owner."

A little repetitive.

"Hell."

"Blanco, slave driver
you will burn in hell."

That one is good.

Where's the rhyme?

With driver.

The rhyme is assonant,
more modern.

It's a sign. It doesn't have to be modern,
it has to be efficient.

You don't think "you will burn in hell"
is efficient?

Having a chat?

He has coffee. A machine with
capsules, like the commercial.

Great, like the commercial...

What do we do now,
start a social club?

If you like it so much, watch out,
you might end up over there too,

drinking coffee.

I don't want you talking to him,
in fact...

that man is...

boycotting the company that feeds you,
show a little loyalty.

Anyone who goes near him,
write their names down for me.

Like in grade school?

Like in grade school, yes.

Blanco, listen up!
The people are not for sale!

Blanco, listen up!
The people are not for sale!

He's not good at rhyming.

Blanco, listen up!
The people are not for sale!

Asshole.

Blanco, listen!
The people aren't for sale!

What about that?

I called but they haven't come.

We make scales.

We can't have a crooked one
at the front gate.

Blanco. listen!

The people are not for sale!

Another coffee?

Police?

Look, I want to report
a dangerous situation

at the entrance to the industrial
polygon

right across from the scale factory.

There's been a vagabond
camped out there for a few days

with some kids,
I don't even know if they're his.

Young,

5 or 6 years old, not older.

And the place is disgusting,
it's full of mud,

broken glass,
they could get bitten by a rat...

Thank you. A neighbor.
I drive by there every day

and it breaks my heart seeing

those helpless children.

It's urgent because
there are minors involved.

Yes, thank you, it's my duty.
Thank you.

Why are we stopped?

Miralles again.

But...

-What is our problem today?
-The micros.

The new batch isn't compatible
with the MS equipment software.

We can't assemble them.

Miralles isn't picking up his phone.

Nobody told us anything.

Can someone go to his house?

No, no, forget Miralles.

Solutions.

Solutions!

We can use the platform scales.

They're compatible.

We can send the display models

and the rest two days later on...

Thursday, which is a holiday,
that gives us three days.

It won't take an hour.

I'll give you two and I'll buy
your whole team lunch.

The MS on the platform scales
aren't reliable.

What's for lunch?
That crap you eat with dates and seeds?

It's the fruit of paradise,
show some respect.

Whenever we reassemble equipment
we have problems.

I know.

You don't eat enough dates,
that's why you never get laid.

Damn.

Let's see.

Find out if Khaled has
a parking spot, please.

This isn't my signature and without
my signature the trucks don't leave.

So get the fucking truck back.

Then I'll decide if it leaves or not.

Miralles.

It was ready at AM.
My people were already there loading at 5.

I don't care, the truck doesn't leave
without my okay.

The shipment has to be
in the warehouse by 10.

Don't tell me what I already know!

Khaled...

Stick to your job, load the fucking
trucks and stay out

of my territory.

I don't load trucks,

I run Logistics.

Khaled, I'm the Head of Production.

Get the truck back.

Do it now!

They were trying to find you
all morning.

Where have you been?
Tuck in your shirt.

Your shirt. You think you can make

a huge scene in front of everyone?
What if the committee were here?

Confirmed. She didn't come home
the whole night.

And she calls me in the morning
to say she slept at her sister's,

I go to her sister's

but she won't let me in
to see her,

that she's asleep.
Her sister!

They can't stand each other.

-Tell me.
-Number 23.

Okay.

Stay here. Don't move.

Don't do anything.

Don't talk to her, give me your phone.

-Damn, Blanco.
-It's the company's, give it to me.

And don't make any plans tonight.
Tell your wife you're coming out with me.

Let's see if I can get you to relax
and forget about all of this.

Fuck!

Blanco!

The police are outside.

"You will burn in hell."

What an idiot.

Well, the phrase isn't bad.

Maybe in this context,
but in another...

It's an assonant rhyme.

What are you now,
the poet security guard?

Thank you.

-Take care.
-Goodbye.

Come back if you want more coffee.

-What's up?
-It's all good.

What's good?
I don't see anything that's good.

The car registration checks out,
that lot doesn't belong to anyone.

We can't make him leave.

Everything belongs to someone.

Have you found the owner?
I don't think he would like

that individual being there.

It's public property, sir.
It's his as much as it's yours.

Wow, a socialist police officer.

What about the kids?

Can they be there?
Is that legal?

There's broken glass.

And rats.

Does the mother know?
Or do I have to call her too?

Talk to Social Services.
There's nothing else we can do.

Maybe we can buy it.

-The land.
-What about the committee?

-I'll check.
-You said he was harmless.

Blanco, that's right!
The people will always fight!

Blanco, that's right!

That one rhymes.

Blanco, that's right!
The people will always fight!

Blanco, that's right!
The people will always fight!

Need a ride?

It's not a good idea.

Because I own the company
and you're an intern?

That's exactly why.

Yeah, well...

What am I supposed to do then?

Sell the company
so I can give you a ride?

I will, eh?

Come on.

She doesn't work with me!

We just met!

Is this normal?

Is what normal?

For the owner of the company
to visit the interns,

to give them a ride home
in his car...

It's just that I don't like being locked up
in my office alone,

I want to be around my employees,
take care of them all, because...

they're my family, you know?

The interns are my like my daughters.

Is that wrong?

-On the right.
-I know the way.

I picked out these apartments.

Do you like yours?
Are you comfortable?

A little big for a girl by herself.

Take down my number.

If you need anything,

call me.

Go ahead.

Hi, sweetheart. How are you?

Can you take all of this home?
It's lingerie.

Okay.

I had him organize the storeroom,
it was in chaos.

I remember what I had to tell you.

I can't right now,
Miralles is waiting for me.

I'm trying to straighten him out,

he's in a rut, he's..

Salva!

Let's go.
These are the last ones?

We have to be strong
and get through this thing.

I want to know who he is.

What for, it's better if you don't.

It's just a guy. Mister X.
It doesn't matter who he is.

Mister X..

Mister P.

It's a figure of speech.

Mister P, better.

Mister P, then. We don't care.

Trust me, complete disregard.

You're right.

We don't give a shit. Right?

-Careful.
-I don't care who you are, Mister P.

Mister P for "Prick."

For "Prick fucking punk."

No, no, no...

For "Punch your fucking..."

It's okay.

That's not what I mean.

Just ignore him.

Disregard.

-Disregard!
-That's it.

Disregard!

Make drawers in your mind.

Yeah.

Put your wife and whoever the guy is
in a drawer.

In the P drawer.

And the good things,

your job...

the kids...
What do you like?

-Bullfighting.
-Bullfighting... In another.

Awesome.

How many drawers are there?

That doesn't matter,
they can be infinite.

As many as you want!

Infinite!

They're imaginary drawers, Miralles.
You don't have to carry them.

Come on.

-What's wrong now?
-Nothing.

I'm imagining them
in the same drawer, fucking and...

Damn it, Miralles.
Put them in different drawers.

There are plenty of women in the world,
more than men, millions.

You'll like one of them, Miralles.

We always get hooked on just one,
it turns out there are more.

Go out,

meet another, fall in love.
There are lots here.

This girl sitting right here,
the Ukrainian.

I don't know if she can sew,
but look how pretty she is.

Take her up to a room,
it's on the company.

Here.

She's hotter than your wife.

-Take two if you want.
-No, no.

We've been through
a lot of good things together.

And a lot of bad things,
you've told me about some.

I only want to be with my wife.

You're being too fussy.

Stop it, you have to be strong.

And also realize that sometimes

people can slip up.

Right?

Or are you totally free of blame?

Look at these two!

What do you think?

YOUR DAUGHTERS NEED HELP!

Calibration is used to determine
the precision

of the equipment and reduce
uncertainty to a minimum,

which is...
How would I explain it?

Whenever you measure something,
you introduce an alteration.

You modify what you're measuring.

Did I explain myself?
No.

Like if you want to know someone
and you actually never really know them

because when you get closer
the person changes.

Exactly, that's right.

When you get closer
you modify their behavior.

You just defined the Uncertainty
Principle better than Heisenberg.

You studied Physics...

Marketing.

Marketing, right.

I don't know Liliana, I know what
she's like when I'm with her.

She looks down, she covers her mouth,

starts smiling, she could be
missing a tooth.

Are you? No.

Do I cause all that?
I'd like to think

I do, but I don't know.

I don't know Liliana, I know

this Liliana and who knows
what horrible

perverse things she does
when we don't see her.

It's better if you don't know.

Well...

Maybe I'm not how I seem
either.

And there's a secret Angela
hidden out there somewhere.

That's why justice covers its eyes.

Not to be impartial.

It covers its eyes to not influence
what it judges.

I like having my eyes covered too.

I'm going home.

-No, you're not.
-Why not?

Because I said so, I'm your boss. Here.

Is he okay?

He's fine.

Remember, this goes in the drawer
with the good things.

Did you know Miralles and I
have a scale inside?

Here in our chest.

Put your gin and tonic in one hand
and my drink

in the other and I'll tell you
which is which

-with my eyes closed.
-No way.

This isn't easy.

This takes years of experience.
Here we go.

Let me put them at the same level.

This is my drink.

Cheater!

That's not fair.

It's liquid weight.

Here, take one of these.

This is nice lingerie my wife brings
from France.

Please, just hurry up.
I'm not into mine.

Don't worry.

Let me see it.

I like you.
I've always liked you.

That was pretty spectacular.

Where did you get all that repertoire?

I watch porn.

On the Internet.

Blessed Internet.

How is the wi-fi here?
If you need more megas let me know.

My sign is Libra.
The scale.

It's a sign.

We're balance and harmony.

But we're ruled by Venus.

-So balance goes to hell.
-Right.

And our ideal mate
is Capricorn or Virgo.

Are you Capricorn or Virgo?

I'm both.

Can I be both at the same time?

Someone waiting at home?

What makes you think that?

Always thinking about
fucking other men...

-Miralles!
-We're just talking...

-Why do you do this to me?
-Miralles, please.

Get him out or I'm calling the police.

-It's not fair.
-I'll handle it, come on.

Talk to her.

Tell her please not to leave me.

Please, tell her not to leave me!

Talk to her, please!

All good.

What if she reports you?

I didn't do anything to her.

You were shouting like a madman,
insulting her...

If you cause the company
any trouble...

Her car is there.

Okay, that's a good thing.
Go on.

I'm scared of running into her.

Fuck!

Everything scares you.
Her being home, her not being home....

You can't take things so hard,

we all make mistakes.
Look where you're coming from.

Because you took me there.

Whatever the reason, you are,
so you're even.

Forgive each other and that's that.

Go on.

Don't come to work tomorrow,
stay home.

It's time for you to accept
what's happening to you.

Fuck!

I know what I had to tell you.

Liliana.

Treat her like anyone else.

The Urbinas' little girl, remember?

The new intern, Liliana.

They asked us to give her
an internship for a few months.

Rings a bell.

She didn't want you to know,
she doesn't want special treatment.

Right.

She's really changed, you probably
didn't recognize her.

No, I didn't.

I talked to her mother today,
they're coming to see her.

You know what a nag she can be,
since she's an only child.

They're coming to dinner
tomorrow night.

What should I make?

THURSDAY

Have the new intern come up, Liliana.
Give me her resume.

Who has it?

She's a friend of the family.
Why don't people tell me anything?

-Miralles hasn't shown up.
-Yeah, I told him not to come.

The less he's here right now,
the better.

-Any news about the committee?
-Nothing.

She didn't come in today.

Liliana?

This is Liliana, leave a message...

Aurora.

I need a minute.

-Just one minute.
-Blanco, not now, please.

One minute and I'll go.

-He'll give you the code, okay?
-Okay.

Come on.

Miralles is in very bad shape.

I've never seen him like this before.

And I'm scared he might do
something crazy, I think he's capable.

I'm asking you to take it
into account in your decisions.

If not for him, do it

for your children.

How dare you!

-Who are you to meddle in our life?
-It's your life,

but it's mine too, because what you do
affects me too.

And it affects my business,
deliveries, the award...

Aurora,

please return to register 6.

Now.

Our problems
are none of your business.

I'm sorry, but if they hurt my company
they become my problems...

Aurora, please...

I'm coming, damn it!
Give me a fucking minute!

Look, there's an easy solution.
Just stop banging my employees.

I bang anyone I want.

Boss!

What do you think?

The dress.

For dinner tonight.

I didn't bring anything formal.

And you know what my father is like.

He's older, like me.

We missed you at the factory today.

I told her not to go in.

Great.

And we're going
to the hairdresser's later.

Being the boss' favorite
has its perks.

You're telling me.

Doesn't she look beautiful?

Gorgeous.

-Want to try the mint green?
-Yes.

-You didn't sleep enough last night.
-Yeah.

I need you to buy dessert
for dinner.

Will you go?

Yes.

Very nice.

Will you take her?

I'll take her.

I didn't want privileges. If something
happened between us, it was meant to.

It wasn't meant to happen.

I'd hate for you to see me now
as the Urbinas' little girl.

You are the Urbinas' little girl.

can't see you any other way.
I went to school

with your father and I carried you
in my arms, Liliana.

Good morning.

The Black Forest, large.

And..

the Russian pastry, please.

There's something else
I didn't tell you.

Please, tell me everything,
always.

My boyfriend is coming
with my parents.

That makes everyone.

I know, I couldn't avoid it.

I didn't have time to explain
the new situation to him.

What new situation?

This, the two of us together.

Don't worry, he's just a boy,
I'm not in love with him.

That's exactly what worries me.

Heisenberg was right.

People change.

I change when you're near me.

I'm someone else.
I don't recognize myself.

It's pretty scary.

Liliana, sweetie,

try to be yourself tonight.

The same old Liliana,
with your parents and my wife.

Can you do that?

Sure you can

-You want the truth?
-Yes.

This situation turns me on.

Here you go.

What do I owe you?

-Forty.
-Forty.

BLANCO
STOP LAYOFFS

A little higher... higher...

Brutal.

Seduce me, come on.

Hold the banner up higher.

Like this?

Show me some truth.

Great, brutal.

-How about this?
-Brutal, I love it.

Blanco, tell him about the layoffs.

If you have the balls.

What's going on?

He asked if I want to be
in the article too.

I didn't say yes or no
until I talked to you first.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

What are the photos for?

-For an article.
-An article.

-About what?
-About his struggle.

-About his...
-His struggle.

His struggle, right.
Does your boss know you're doing this?

It's a human interest story,
what people like now.

It's an absurd story. There were layoffs,
he was paid according

to the law.
There is no story, period.

What are you doing?

Writing down your statement.

Let me see.

It's not a statement.

What's wrong with you?
You can't print this now.

Don't lean on my car, please.

Were you put up to this
or was this article your idea?

That information is private.

-I have to protect my sources.
-Sources, right.

Who do you think you work for,
the Washington Post?

Can I get a photo?

Don't you dare. No way.

And not the factory either.
Román.

Don't let him take photos here.

What about from across the street?

I thought security guards take an oath.
Did you swear to be an idiot?

If I see a single photo

of the factory in the paper,
you're fired.

Freedom of the press.

Ignacio?

Listen, there was a kid here,

the one who did the article
last week.

Look, I respect all that

about it being a human story.

He's not a dog or a cow,
he's a man, so it's definitely human.

But...

But you need to understand
that this week is complicated.

We have the award thing,
you printed a story about it.

Yes...

And that photo is not helping right now.

Ignacio, we're here to help
each other, you always say that:

"I help you and you help me."

Yeah, a healthy democracy.

I'm fucking sick of healthy democracy.

Everyone is healthy and free,
but what about my health?

That doesn't count?

Ignacio.

Ignacio! Fuck, I'm losing you.

Look, I told you what I think,
from here it's up to you.

I can't hear you, damn it.
Ignacio!

She's the wife of a coworker.

Excuse me?

She's the wife of a coworker
and I don't want you to see her again.

That's my problem.

Another one.

Do you people think only you have
problems and I don't?

My problems are your
problems too, Khaled,

and if things are bad for me,
they'll be even worse for you.

If you have a problem with Miralles,
talk to him.

Look...

You're hurting the company.

So leave Aurora alone.

We're both adults

and we like to fuck.

I'm good at what I do,
I do my job well

you pay me, end of story.

Look.

That kind of behavior
is not allowed at Blanco Scales.

It's not.

What are you going to do?

Fire me?

Don't give me any of that family
crap, look at my skin.

I'm not your son.

Only missing an Oscar.

That one there is the Oscar of scales.

Der Schöne Ritter. "The Just Knight."

It's a German certification company.

The one shaped like a scale?

It's not a shape, it's a scale.

And the open spot above it,
we'll be filling soon.

We're finalists for another award.

-Who gives it?
-The regional government.

For excellence, which has to do

with transparency, management...

It's important for subsidies.

Otherwise the artists hog them all.

How exciting!

-And how is it looking?
-Good.

We have some issues to work out.

With your employees?

They're not happy?

Employees are never happy.

You raise someone's salary,
say 100 euros.

And the next guy 50, half that.
So you make that guy more unhappy

than if you hadn't given either
a raise.

Do you understand that?

That's why he doesn't give raises
to anyone.

They're a mystery.

You never really get to know
your employees.

The Uncertainty Principle.

Heisenberg.

That's right.

Scale stuff.

Nothing is exactly the way
we perceive it.

We aren't us.

We change,

depending on who's looking at us.

No?

Yes, more or less.

I was thinking,
talk to Albert tomorrow.

I need you two to prepare

a full-page ad
for the local newspaper.

-And the briefing?
-Urgent, that's the briefing.

Exciting, isn't it?
Seeing you two work up close.

How long will you be staying with us?

Nothing, one month

and she's gone. Mobility is good,
you have to keep moving.

But she just got here.

Yeah, but if you stay in one place
for too long you get stuck.

I don't have any plans,
you can hire me if you want.

It's always better to change companies.

Different types, textiles, motor...

Learn about everything.
We'll find her somewhere.

It sounds like you wan
to get rid of ter.

Not get rid of her, stimulate her.

Stimulate her.

If the job is good, great.
If it isn't, you move on.

We don't want any favoritism,
do we?

You and I never got anything
for free.

-And we're not doing too bad.
-Exactly.

Hard work and humiliity.

Well, you inherited the factory
from your father.

So did you, Jandro.

Well, you have to be there.

Where, at the notary?
Because to inherit,

that's all it takes.

Inheriting is also a responsibility.

Look at Liliana.

She inherited her mother's beauty.

Isn't she beautiful?

He didn't recognize her, you know.

-Really?
-I swear.

What did you say when you found out
who she was?

"One month here and you're gone.

I don't even want to see you."

I wouldn't be surprised!

No, really, I'm very grateful
for you taking her in.

She could hold any position
at my company,

but she preferred to work with you.

That's great.

I know you'll take care of her
like your own daughter.

Of course.

Knowing him, he'll be
on top of her all day.

Not long ago she was a little girl.

You had her on your knees,
you fed her a bottle.

It seems like yesterday.

Totally.

FRIDAY

Open the wall.

Boom. boom, who is it?

The dove and the olive branch.

Open the wall.

Boom. boom, who is it?

The scorpion and the centipede.

Close the wall...

This can't be, it can't be.

He asked for permission
to use the company bathroom.

What do I do, let him in?

Workers go on strike!

No, don't let him.

He says his stomach hurts.

Then he can go take a shit
at his wife's house.

It will be worse,
he'll do it right there.

Román, do not let him use
the bathroom.

What else.

My ears hurt, from the bullhorn.

I got otitis when I was little
and they're very sensitive.

What do you want me to do?

Take you to the doctor?

You always say we should tell you
our problems.

Not all of them, for God's sake.

Blanco, you're a rati
Let the people take a crap!

Blanco!

Assonant rhyme, right?

Natalia, darling, how are you?

Has the mayor got a second
for me?

He's in a meeting,
he can't speak right now.

It's important, a criminal matter.

There's a homeless guy
camping across the street

and that land is...

public, so he can't be there.
Imagine if there's an accident

or if anything happens,
City Hall is publicly liable,

-I checked.
-I'll tell him.

The mayor wants to know
if you got the invitations

for the ballet tonight.
He's expecting you and your wife

in his box.

I have the invitations,
thank you, but please,

tell him what I just said, it's an
important matter for the community.

I'll tell him.

"Publicly liable," say it like that.

With those same words.

I will.

Thank you, Natalia.
Thank you, goodbye.

The committee.

They were at Farmacol
this morning.

We're the only ones left.

Hold this.

Please, take it.

Fuck.

What do you want to leave?
Tell me.

-What do you want?
-I called you 20 times. 20.

You should have answered the phone,
it's too late now.

How much do you want?

Ask. How much?

I don't want anything.

Not your money or the job.
Nothing.

You can stick it all up your ass.

Don't make things worse, José.

How can I make things worse?
Tell me.

I can't have my children with me.

I'm almost 50 years old,
who will hire me now?

-How can I make things worse?
-You can't be here.

Think about your kids, damn it!
They're being made fun of at school!

Hold on. We'll fix this

between you and me, all right?

What job do you want?

Yeah, think about it.

Take your pick.

You want his job? His?
Which one?

I'll give it to you.

You're the prodigal son.

You know who the prodigal son is?

You're the prodigal son, damn it!

Yes!

Yes, you are.

You are.

I won't move.

I'm fine right here.

I've never felt better.

You can offer to let me sleep
in your bed with your wife.

I won't move.

Over there, you're the boss.

Not here.

I won't move.

I won't move.

I won't move. I will not.

I will not move. I will not move.

I will not move.

We're here for real,
we will not make a deal.

We're here for real,
we will not make a deal!

Blanco, go fuck yourself!

Son of a bitch!

Bastard!

Look, Blanco!

That's right!
My ass has joined the fight!

Look!

Fucking wacko.

-He's crazy, he won't listen to reason.
-Let's see...

The people united will never be defeated!

I thought they fixed it.

Eat shit!

Goddamn it.

Fuck you!

Son of a bitch!

Blanco, you're a rat!
Let the people take a crap!

Blanco, you're a rat!
Let the people take a crap!

That's right!

You can eat shit, Blanco!

I need you to do me a favor.

Excuse me, I'll be right back.

-Blanco.
-Not now, not now.

I need to talk to you.

Ask my secretary
for an appointment.

You wanted me to treat you
like everyone else, right?

Are you okay?

JUSTICE USES BLANCO SCALES

The layout here is simpler.

More space for the product...

I think the contrast between
the photograph

and the illustration works.

The concept is to highlight the idea
of justice with the committee coming.

The company worries not only
about results...

Can the robe be shorter?

We can try it, yes.
Justice is sexy.

Yes, and we can prepare more ideas.

We can work with the idea
of loyalty...

Albert, you decide.

As long as what we pay for
does the job.

Get me Ignacio, please.

How long is the new intern with us?

-Liliana?
-Yes.

The contract is one month,

-but we can renew it.
-When it's over, she leaves.

I don't want her here.

Ignacio.

How are you?

Listen, I have something for you.

Hold... Hold on a second.

I'm going to make you an offer
you can't refuse.

Yeah, like in the movies.

I have the committee coming
to visit and...

was thinking of putting in
a full page on Sunday...

Clean, dean.

Nice and clean, nice and clean,

cleaner than I've ever seen.

Fucking scale.

You're a scab. Román.

An ass wipe.

Don't look at me!
Join me, you turncoat!

Don't look at me!

Join me!

Don't look at me!

Blanco! Blanco!

Thief!!

Blanco the exploiter!

Live with it, Blanco!
You're a thief!

You were right, Román.
I should have let him use the bathroom.

Here.

They have an inhibitor.

You can thank Fortuna
when you see him.

-Thanks, boss.
-You're welcome.

Oh, Román, Román.

Well...

I've spoken too harshly
to you lately and...

I have no right.

I apologize.

This hasn't been easy.

What hasn't?

These last few days,
with José across the street,

with his kids...

Having to fire people, damn it.

And poor Miralles,
his wife has him in the dumps.

The arguments...

I have to do things I don't want to do
for the good of the company.

It's like a surgeon...

who doesn't want

to amputate.

Who wants to cut off someone's leg?

The surgeon? No.

I don't think the surgeon likes
cutting off someone's leg,

but he has to do it.
Just like me.

I have to do it.

For all of you,

for your families as well.

Do I want to do it?
No, I don't.

But I have no choice.

-No what?
-Choice.

Take this as compensation.
Here.

"Romeo and Juliet" tonight.

It's a ballet.

-I've never been to a ballet.
-Exactly.

It's about time, take your wife,
be nice to her,

otherwise look what happens,
look at Miralles.

Impossible, it's at 8.
I'll still be here at that hour.

Leave early today, it's okay.

I'm the boss, right? Then that's that.

And don't tell anyone.

Blanco, look at me.

Here I am, I'm not moving!

I will not move!

I'll be here waiting, Blanco!
I will not move!

Didn't the mayor invite us tonight?

To the ballet.

Yeah, maybe he forgot.

LILIANA INTERN

It was "Romeo and Juliet," wasn't it?

Yes, tonight Romeo and Juliet

will be you and me, my love.

There are a lot of them today.

It's Friday.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the performance is about to begin.

Please turn off your cell phones
and watch alarms.

It's starting.

Thank you, Alina.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

I know what you think about
when you say nothing.

Get out of here!

Stop!

Stop, please!

Scum!

Get the fuck out of here!

Filthy pig!

Get up

Pig!

I said get out of here!

Asshole!

At this hour?

Let it fucking burn!

Clown!

Where are you going?

Hey, you!

Get up!

Fortuna, what's wrong?

Boss...

What happened?

What happened, Fortuna?

Hey...

Let's go.

Sons of bitches!

Come back here!

Come back if you've got balls!

Come back here!

Bastards!

BLANCO SCALES WON'T FORGET YOU

He was an extraordinary kid.

Extraordinary, really.

He helped me a lot in the shop.

-He was a good kid.
-Yes, he was.

I'm going to give your husband

a bonus so you two
can take a trip together.

And get some rest.

Rubio already knows,
he'll handle everything.

Don't worry about anything.

Excuse me!

Bring that over.

Excuse me...

Let's see..

If you'll allow me...

I'd like to say

a few words on behalf of Fortuna
because

he's not feeling strong enough.

We've lost..

We've lost a promising young man

and no words can describe

such an injustice.

So as a tribute,

with his parents' permission,
we're going

to name the new generation of scales
we're developing after Salva

so that his memory will stay alive

anywhere you find a Blanco scale.

Those of us here,
we all know each other.

We're a big family

and now we have to say goodbye
to those who move on...

Let's go.

My feet are frozen...

Blanco, excuse me. Can we talk?

Not here, Miralles.
Tomorrow at the factory.

MONDAY

Talk about bad luck.
The one day I leave early...

Well...

Have someone clean all that up, please.

I want it clean when
the committee arrives.

Give me a bullet.

JUSTICE USES BLANCO SCALES

The judge saw him this morning.

They might set bail,
but he can't pay it anyway.

-And the committee?
-They're coming tomorrow.

Yes?

Yes.

Okay.

Thank you.

He's here.

Okay, then.

Have Inés come in.

Inés, stop what you're doing
and come in the office.

What's up? Good morning.

Julito.

What's up?

Sara, how's it going?

What is this?
What's going on here?

What are my things doing there?

Who told you to move in here?

Why is that fucking Arab in my office?
Why isn't he loading trucks?

Miralles, don't talk that way about
a coworker. You want some coffee?

The gentleman has a name,
his name is Khaled and, well,

he does it better than you.

No, I'm the best.
I'll prove it to you anytime.

Well.

Let's see..

Blanco...

I'm better, much calmer,
give me a break.

It's a delicate moment, Miralles,
and we need people

at 100% and who will do anything

for the company, like me right now.

Or do you think I like doing this?
No.

I have to cover my eyes.

I have to set personal issues aside,

emotions as well, and choose
the best man for the job. Blindly.

-I have no choice, Miralles.
-Julio, please.

I have nothing. Aurora is leaving.
She's taking the kids with her.

This is all I have left, my job.
Scales are my life.

You're not going to help me?

Miralles...

-Miralles...
-You're not going to help me?

Miralles, look, take it easy.

You help me.

Help me.

Remember that time we were

in the car together,
when we were 10 years old?

You helped me so much.

It wasn't me.

What?

I didn't take the blame.
You're the one

who put the rifle in my hand
and told my father

that it was me.

-That's not how I remember it.
-And I'll tell you something else.

Our fathers never went
hunting together,

my dad loaded your dad's rifle,
which is very different.

He loaded his rifle.

Okay, okay, okay.

I won't make it easy for you.
I'll go to the labor department.

I'm not José, I know a lot

about how this company works
and I've saved paperwork.

Just like Inés.

What a coincidence.

She saved your messages too.

Yes.

But she's not going to report you.

What are you talking about?

She told me about
that little issue you two had.

That wasn't very nice, Miralles.

Taking advantage of your position
in the company to abuse the secretary.

Damn!

No, it wasn't like that.
I didn't abuse anyone.

That's not what I understand.

But I convinced her not to report you,

a favor I'm doing for you.

In exchange,

you take the severance pay
Rubio gives you, whatever it is,

and you leave.

I never want to see you again.

I remember what my father
used to say:

Sometimes you have

to trick the scale
to get the exact weight.

Inés, come in.

Great news, I already heard.

I'm opening a Chateau Laffite
to celebrate.

What news?

What are we celebrating?

You hiring Liliana, she told me.

I talked to her mother
and she went crazy.

She wanted to send you flowers,
I said absolutely not.

And a boss.

-A boss?
-Head of Marketing, can you imagine?

How do you think Albert will take it?

Who is Albert?

Her assistant.

Your advertisement was beautiful.

And the concept of justice,

that it's not just making good scales,
we're talking about a company

that is fair, that worries about
its employees.

That's great for the award.

That was the idea.

told her to move in with us here,
the upstairs bedroom.

Better than that apartment.

She said it sounds perfect.

Perfect.

She can keep us company
in this big house.

Alina was preparing it,
I'll see how she's doing.

I'll get you a glass.

Do I even need to say
how much you're paying me?
