- No.

Ever go back

to Los Parasos?

No.

Nobody ever went back.

I'll miss you so much.

I may be back

sooner than you expect.

What are you saying?

You're playing great.

I'm sure they'll want you

and you won't come back.

What is it?

My stomach's upset.

Want some tea?

No... Yes.

No, wait.

Are you okay?

Who do you think you are?

Joan of Arc?

Are you stupid?

The world talking about

the coup and you do this?

Take them away

or I'll tell them.

- You won't tell them anything.

- Yes, I will.

No, you won't.

If you do, I'll tell them

their perfect daughter

has been sucking her boyfriend's

thing in their bed. Got it?

Shut up, perfect, pregnant.

You don't get it.

- What happened?

- They came this morning.

For your sister. She wasn't

there so they took your dad.

I called Larguia's son,

he's a lawyer.

I also called Morini.

He's here.

Maybe he can do something.

Would you go home

and pick up his medicine?

- Yes.

- Tell your sister

to go to Chiche's.

They won't look for her there.

- I'll get your father out.

- Ok, thank you.

- But...

- You stay calm.

- Go on, I'll stay.

- Where are you going?

- For my dad's medicine.

- I'll drive you.

- Thank you very much.

- Easy.

I love you.

- What?

- I love you.

I love you too.

No matter what happens,

remember I love you.

Of course, love.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

A nightmare.

Mom, did you meet

the other Toms?

- What Toms?

- He was Natalia's boyfriend.

No, but Natalia

never dated a Toms.

Yes, she told me

he played soccer with Daddy

and he was brave.

And that's why

she asked you to name me Toms.

I don't know...

I didn't know.

Will you give me a hug, Tomi?

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Where do you get all your energy?

What did you tell my son about an

ex-boyfriend of yours called Toms?

I told him he was named Toms

after Martn.

- What?

- Sure.

Toms was Martn's secret name,

that's why I asked you.

But you never told me.

How could you ask me to call

my son by somebody's war name?

What do you mean "somebody"?

It was Martn's. You liked

the name and for me it was

a tribute.

A tribute would have been to have

your baby instead of an abortion!

Then you could have

called him anything.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.

I'm sorry.

What did you tell Toms about me?

That you lived far away

and that you were

always very busy.

That I was busy?

- What did you expect us to say?

- The truth.

Tell a 6-year-old boy

about exiled people

so he'd be

scared all the time?

He's scared of me instead.

Somebody told him I was a terrorist.

I wish you'd told him...

I know what you'd have loved.

But at that time

you couldn't say a word.

I'm sorry, Natalia.

I'm sorry.

You know what?

I'd like to know what

Sebastin's uncle thought of me.

Then buy a ticket, go to

Argentina and ask for yourself.

Your room's ready.

Son of a b*tch!

Hold it tight.

That's it.

- Take another, go on.

- All right.

Now, focus.

Like this?

Ready?

Whisky!

- Another?

- Ok.

Whisky!

- Now you take one of me.

- Ok.

Okay.

Yes, now another.

Mom, I'll take

a picture of you.

Ok.

Ok, hug each other.

Smile.

Whisky!

Clara?

Yes.

Yes, she's here.

I'll put her on.

Bye.

Martn's mother.

- Hello, Clara. How are you?

- Darling, you were right,

We found out through the tutor,

that Morini could be involved,

When are you coming?

We need your father's book,

Ok, I'll make a copy

and send it.

Thanks. Bye.

- Natalia.

- What are you doing here? You ok?

- I'm fine. We need to talk.

- No, no I can't.

Natalia, I don't want you to go.

I have to.

They haven't eaten in a long time.

I'll take you to Montevideo,

get a ticket,

you can go to Spain,

stay with Sarita.

To Spain?

I can't leave them here.

You'll do what I say.

- The fuel!

- Don't go!

- Give me the fuel.

- Don't go!

I'm sorry. I must go.

Natalia!

Natalia!

Get up. Get up.

Get up. Walk.

F*** you. Get up.

- We deserve a break, don't we?

- Yes.

Tomi, your milk's ready.

Toms.

- Toms...

- What?

Drink your milk.

Careful.

You'll break something.

Take off your shoes, Natalia.

Tomi, listen to me.

Take off your shoes. I've cleaned

the carpet for the party.

- Take them off now.

- Mommy, don't be "obsessive. "

Toms.

Go inside. I don't like you

skating in the street.

Tomi, I am talking to you.

But there are no cars!

- It's ok. I'm watching him.

- You stay out of this.

Tomi, I'm talking to you.

Come here.

You are such

a pain in the ass.

What did you say?

What did you say?

Don't ever talk

to me like that again.

You make me feel uncomfortable

in my own house.

You want my son against me?

No, don't say that.

We were finally making friends.

I don't know

if you were or not.

Since you came, you haven't

stopped asking questions.

Why does it bother you so much?

I don't know.

I thought you came to visit us.

Yes, that's why I came.

To visit you.

What a nice record!

Dad blacklisted,

anti-American sister.

Good family portrait, couldn't

you keep it for some other time?

There's nothing to hide.

This isn't a dictatorship.

Exactly, so why

talk about it right now?

I organized this party for you,

because I'm proud of you.

Ok, I'm sorry.

- I won't talk of politics anymore.

- Please.

You know what?

I'll talk in Catalan from now on.

Seriously. Talk about your trips,

important people you know.

When you want, you know how

to talk. Make me look good.

Excuse me,

can I come in?

You know how much

your mom loves you?

She was very young

when you were born,

and she was brave.

She wanted you

with all her heart.

But she hit me.

Yes, I know.

She got nervous.

Forgive her.

But I didn't do anything!

She's so cranky lately.

And bossy.

Because she wants

to take care of us...

You, me, your dad,

even your grandparents.

She's always been like that.

Family is the most

important for her.

She doesn't want

anything to go wrong.

Let's go,

there's a party outside.

- How are you doing?

- Fine.

Fine?

He's beautiful.

- A party-crasher.

- I invited him.

Where did you find him?

In a second-hand store.

Are you saying yes like crazy?

- Everything was fine, wasn't it?

- Yes, really nice.

Leave that now.

Just a second, just arranging...

I won't wash up.

- Why don't you come to bed?

- Ok.

All right.

Thanks.

It was a nice party.

I'm sorry.

Why?

I know...

I was unbearable.

I come to see you

and we end up fighting.

- I'm sorry.

- No.

I wish I could

leave it in the past,

but I can't.

I know.

- Sorry.

- Don't say sorry.

I need to know what happened.

It's the least

I can do for Martn.

I'm sorry.

This is the novel's end.

I didn't want you

to know anything.

Because

Dad was in jail

and Morini said nothing

would happen to Martn.

It was me who said

where Martn was.

Elena.

I think they want Martn.

Do you know where he is?

No,

- but I can ask Natalia.

- Don't even think about it.

If Natalia warns them,

Martn

might do something foolish.
