La cordillera

Hello, I've come about

the electric panels.

I. D and vehicle registration.

What happened,

did I jump a red light?

I beg your pardon?

Nothing.

Entering:
Carrizo Emiliano.

I. D:
7331926

I have Emilio.

It's Emiliano.

It says Emilio, here.

Are you sure?

100 percent.

Read me the I. D.

Perfect.

No, it's not perfect.

We have Emilio,

your name is Emiliano.

It says Emilio, here.

It's a mistake, they already

resolved it at the entrance.

The ID is correct.

Is this all you have?

Yes, I've come to do an inspection

and give a quote.

During the work the supply will be cut

and the house must be empty.

The house empty?

It's never empty,

there's always lots of work.

Yes, naturally.

This way, please.

Did you have breakfast?

No, I don't eat breakfast.

- Why?

- I don't know, it's too early.

I'm going to have breakfast.

The bread arrives now.

Perfect, can I make a start?

No.

Why?

Come with me,

it's bad to work on an empty stomach.

- Hello.

- How are you?

Good morning, Mario.

Take these two bags to the storeroom

and prepare the trays.

Get it to the main office in 10 minutes.

Thank you.

Good morning, doctora,

would you like a coffee?

No, thank you.

- I'm just leaving.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry, I don't understand,

start again, please.

So he hasn't filed the complaint.

But he is going to?

He spoke to that lawyer,

told him he had something,

but not what.

From which year?

He handled it all,

even the contact with the Spanish?

Did he say what he wants in return?

OK,

let me think it over,

I'll call you in two hours.

What?

What's the matter?

And do you know

what he's talking about?

They're threatening

to file a complaint against us.

What for?

Overpricing, in 2006.

We weren't in government in 2006.

You weren't,

but we were in local government.

How and what amount exactly?

The amount isn't clear

but it seems it's over 5 million.

What happened to this cash?

It must have been spent

on putting out fires and the campaign.

Did the president know about this?

Does that matter?

I don't think it's serious.

Provincial campaign funds

from 10 years ago...

Castex.

- Who would be interested?

- Everybody might be interested.

They told you?

They told me yesterday.

Why is this nonsense

such a big deal?

The guy filing the complaint

is Esteban Camao.

Camao?

- Husband of our president's daughter.

- I know who he is.

Ex-husband, sorry.

Husband, they never got divorced.

It seems he's got something else.

What?

He wouldn't say.

- Why is he doing all this?

- Blackmail.

Isn't it a bit suicidal?

It'll harm him as much as us.

Not as much.

The 2 houses, the 2 cars,

the apartment he lives in now,

it's all in Marina's name.

If they prosecute him,

they'll prosecute her soon after.

This is news, don't you think?

How much

of what he has is true?

Apparently everything.

What do we do?

What we must do is very simple:

the summit starts tomorrow,

so the only thing

that matters is the summit.

This cannot appear.

Is that clear?

It's clear.

It's not happening.

Only the summit.

- Marta?

- Only the summit.

- What do you think?

- Let's see.

Matelli, Ricardez, Delguer,

fourth, fifth, perfect.

Take him out, him too.

OK.

- Ready?

- We've prepared 10 questions.

10 questions? Then...

Put Bravo 6th, and I'll string out

the answer until they're bored.

Let's go.

Good day.

Good day to you all.

Welcome, journalists.

Before starting with the questions,

I'd like to mention

the presidential summit

that's starting in Chile, tomorrow.

It's vital to our country

as the heart of the debate

is the energy autonomy of our region

and its subsequent

future economic development.

This will be implemented

through the creation

of a multinational oil company,

a kind of OPEC-Organization

of the Petroleum Exporting Countries,

but a Latin American one,

driven by our dear Brazilian brothers.

The provisional name

of the company will be

the Southern Oil Alliance.

Did you sleep?

I tried.

Are you worried?

It's nonsense, Hernn,

it'll have blown over in one week.

One week is too long,

we must resolve it, now.

That's impossible,

it's the summit now.

- Stay calm.

- I can't stay calm.

You have to.

Marina?

I spoke to her.

And?

She was calm.

I spoke to the psychiatrist.

He said she was anxious but stable.

He's an idiot.

Shall we start?

Hernn, shall we start?

Let's start.

It'll all be fine.

Let's go.

- We're starting, boys.

- Ivn, let's go.

Ivn?

Front page of the 3 papers,

there's not much.

The summit:
"President

travels to Chile for the oil summit."

"High hopes for the oil conference..."

No mention of you.

Not even one line?

There is something:

"The president's first challenge",

something like that.

"President Blanco faces his first

major international commitment."

They treat you like a kid.

Or like an idiot.

It's all praise for Oliveira Prete,

Dell Priore is drooling.

- Read me some of that.

- It says:

"The president of Brazil knows

that history is knocking at his door.

"The whole world is watching him.

"As rarely before, the president..."

OK.

They obviously sent it

direct from the embassy.

What else?

Not much in the papers,

praise for our austerity.

One positive note.

You are mentioned 15 times,

Oliveira 10 times,

Mariano 8 times and Luisa 4 times.

- You're joking!

- I swear.

"The omnipresent Luisa Cordero".

"The indispensable Cordero...".

- And Hoffmann?

- Very little, 4 times.

Dell Priore just calls him

"the foreign minister".

Pastore says:
"The ever slightly

inefficient minister Hoffmann".

Spot on, that sentence.

OK, carry on.

The biggest deal today

is Donatti on the radio.

It's been retweeted by everyone.

I can put it on, if you like.

Did you hear it, Gallego?

Some of it, in the car.

It's harsh.

- Go on, put it on.

- It's long...

Go on.

Radio program by Augusto Donatti.

It's seven o'clock in Argentina

and we bring you the news from:

Rise and Shine, with Augusto Donatti.

So,

the President is off to

his first international summit.

We've played dumb so far,

pretending, giving him time,

he's not been in power for long,

as you know.

Now, the whole world will realize

that Argentina has

an invisible president.

That the Argentine people

voted the invisible man into power.

The oil summit,

the Southern Oil Alliance,

is the most important event,

for the countries of South America,

of the 21st century.

The president of Mexico knows this.

The president of Chile knows this.

And the president of Brazil knows this,

because Oliveira Prete is not invisible.

And who are we sending?

Hernn Blanco, ex Mayor of Santa Rosa,

La Pampa province.

A simple chap...

- That's enough.

- Turn it off.

No, leave it.

Shall I put the last part on?

OK.

It's Mariano Castex that I see

each day and I wonder:

did anyone vote for Mariano Castex?

We should tell the head of Cabinet,

the strategist,

the puppet master,

that 'the common man' approach
