- A glass of water.

Think I don't know

you and Casal are plotting?

I've had it!

I've had it!

- Goodbye, Sosa.

- Rinaldi.

Sosa, Sorry I kept you waiting.

Don't worry, no problem.

You like to surprise me.

You like to surprise me.

You fleed the Foundation

without saying goodbye.

Slamming the door on your way out.

That shows lack of gratitude,

Oh yes, that's what it is.

Then you come here

without warning.

Then you come here

without warning.

- I warned...,

- Who did you warn? Nobody!

You're taking care

of the Route 3 accident, right?

- Have their power of attorney?

- Two...

Casal has the other three.

Casal has the other three.

So what are you doing here?

I want to work in peace.

Casal is very anxious,

he's a lover me,

- I need you to keep him on a eash,

- Yes...

- I need you to keep him on a eash,

- Yes...

Casal wants to f*** me over.

He's plotting with Rinaldi.

It's a ways been this way.

Those be low

want a piece of those on top.

- I don't want a piece of anyone.

- I do!

I want those

five powers of attorney here,

I want those

five powers of attorney here,

And I want you bringing them,

not Casal.

We give each other a mutual hand.

That's the way its done.

What do you need

to get those papers?

Time.

You'll get it.

I'll make sure Casal

gets off your back.

Bring me back those papers signed.

And if all this goes well,

I have big plans for you.

Counselor,

we intend to negotiate,

but this situation

is getting complicated,

You handle some cases,

Mr. Casal handles others.

It would be much simple for us

to negotiate with one firm,

- Am I clear?

- Yes, perfectly.

We can finish this conversation

in court if you wish,

Mr. Casal

called me five times today.

He told me your powers of attorney

had been revoked.

Do you believe Casal?

Casal?

This invitation is for you.

It's for my daughter's sweet 15,

Thank you very much!

You are coming, right?

- When is it?

- Next Saturday.

The thing is, I work on Saturday,

I'm on call, I can't go,

Just drop by, please,

Thanks to you, my husband is alive,

and we can have this party.

We'd love for you to come.

You are our special guest.

Picture time, everyone!

Ready?

Say cheese!

Perfect! One more,

Say cheese...

One more time,

Smile, Grandma!

Faced with such an offer,

he obviously signed.

The same thing's happening

with your case, they bought it off.

One year later,

you'll find out that the awsuit

brought in 80, 100 or 120 grand.

And you'll feel ripped off.

You'll want to sue, but, too late,

You've a ready signed,

Thing is, they have a lot of money,

a lot of cases...

Like yours, and they have time.

They can wait.

Right, but when would we

get the money with you?

That's not my decision.

It's something we need to discuss,

like we did with them.

Just don't be in a rush,

that's when you lose.

The key

is knowing how to be patient.

Hurrah for Dr. Olivera!

Let's go to the center.

I love you,

When I came to Buenos Aires

I met an anesthetist,

With him, I started shooting up.

It's the only thing that soothes me,

And I think I like it, too.

Do you have any pictures?

- What kind?

- Of when you were fat.

I'm not ever showing you those.

What a pity.

I could fall

for a fat version of yourself.

Don't you like me thin?

More or less...,

You're mean...

- Tell me something about you,

- About me?

- No...,

- Why?

Because we're having a good time,

I'd rather not ruin it,

"At San Justo,

La Matanza County,

state of Buenos Aires,

they stand to bestow

legal power of attorney

in favor of

Counselor Hctor Sosa,

so he can be part

of all judicial matters,

and therefore entitled

to collect cash

or negotiate on any business matter."

This means you're authorizing me

to collect any money

the insurance company pays you.

My turn to sign.

You wanted me to dance

to make fun of me!

- Not at all!

- I knew it.

See? I was right.

Look at your shoulders,

I can't believe I'm here again.

Want me to pick you up tonight?

I'm on call 'till tomorrow.

- What then?

- I'll call you.

Can you take him to triage

and put a line in? Thanks.

The one on 12

needs his drip changed, okay?

I'm here for a blood test.

Here's the prescription.

Not here,

Try the other counter.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm locked in!

We can't open, doctorl

Here's something to read!

So you don't get bored!

Open up!

- What's your problem?

- Let me out.

- Walk, please,

- Let me go.

Take it easy.

Don't complicate things.

Stay calm and you'll be fine.

Anyone else here?

No,

Do you know why we're here?

Are you stupid,

didn't you read the case file?

Wait for me outside.

How did someone like

you get mixed up in this?

You do know why we're here, right?

We sent you signs.

Do you still not get it?

Let me out.

You're hurting me!

Where do you think you're going?

This isn't over.

I'll say when it's over!

Are you done?

Stop it!

What happened? What is it?

What did they do?

Let me take a look.

Lujn, look at me.

- Son of a b*tch!

- Drive me away from here, please.

Are you okay?

Tell me, sweetie.

Forgive me, please.

Lujn, please forgive me.

Sit down, hang in there.

There, let me see,

Open your mouth.

Son of a b*tch...

Let me get this off.

Raise your arms,

- What?

- It hurts...,

- What hurts?

- Everything.

Wait,

What is it?

Help me,

Please,,,

Here,

Stick it in the vein,

I know how to do it,

Don't worry,

Look at me,

Thanks.

Please, forgive me,

I'm going to be okay,

I love you,

Son of a b*tch!

Don't ever mess with her again!

You motherfucking sh*t!

Not ever again!

Got it?

Never again!

Understood?

Did you hear what I said?

Answer me!

F***ing son of a b*tch!

What happened?

Lujn, we're leaving!

Wake up, c'mon,

Please, Lujn, wake up!

Listen to me, there's no time.

We need to go.

- Your face...

- Pack some clothes.

I'll tell you later.

Here's a bag.

C'mon.

Hold on, don't open.

Don't look out, look at me.

- We'll find another way.

- Let's go back up.

You go back up,

You lock yourself in

until I'm back.

Don't answer the phone,

Listen to me,

Please, don't go...

Lujn, listen to me!

There's no time to waste.

Listen to me! Look at me.

Open your eyes!

Look at me,

Grab the bag and go upstairs.

Lock the door

and don't open it until I'm back.

Don't answer the phone,

It'll be fine,

I'll come back.

I promise I'll come back.

- Please...

- Stay calm, go upstairs.

I'll come back, sweetie,

Take a look,

Look at what you did.

F***, man, Look at him,

You went too far.

Poor thing!

Casal had it coming.

Finally got what he deserved.

What's done, is done.

Truth is you did me a favor.

But I don't want you

getting in trouble with them.

- What do you want?

- For you to keep your calm.

Uncuff him...,

Let's have a chat.

Sit down, okay?

You got a the cases

and you kept it to yourself.

It's ok, though,

Once you collect,

you'll cash the checks

and bring me the money,

How much?

All of it, of course,

- Think of it as an investment.
