was a bad idea,

that when it's time

to talk to Oliveira Prete,

whom all the international

politics specialists consider

one of the five most influential

people in the world,

who will sit down to talk with him?

Hernn Blanco?

Son of a b*tch.

You have to respond.

Then he gets to react,

he'll be the star of the summit.

Nobody says a word.

Not a word.

Not here, not there, nobody.

Not our journalists either.

Nobody responds.

I don't know if we can let this pass.

We can.

Let's see if we all understand.

This summit

is important for everybody.

And it's very important for us.

If the Brazilian

plays his cards right,

he becomes one of the most

important people in the world.

He's right, Donatti is right.

But this, for the Brazilian,

could be a problem.

So?

So we support Brazil.

Everything Brazil says, we support.

What the pharaoh

Oliveira Prete says...

We do.

Is that clear?

Ivn, send the schedule out.

We'll go over it on the ground.

Listen to me.

Put her on a plane

and bring her here.

What?

To Chile? To the summit?

Yes, it's urgent.

You've gone crazy, Hernn.

You don't know Marina.

She doesn't want to be

at a presidential summit.

I know, but she can't be alone

in the middle of this scandal.

Listen to me, bring her.

I don't know if can.

You can.

- Well?

- The president is there.

She's looking smart,

she loves you.

Hoffmann is there.

Moreno Hueyo,

best buddies with Hoffmann.

The Chilean foreign minister's there,

ring any bells?

None.

Ramiro Anwandter,

you met him in Cartagena.

He was Foreign Trade Secretary.

You played tennis, remember?

Who won?

I don't know.

You played for 15 minutes,

for the photographers.

I think you said he wasn't bad.

- What was his surname?

- Anwandter.

Ramiro, keep it simple.

Shall we go?

Let's go.

Welcome to Chile, Mr. President.

Thank you very much, dear Paula.

- What happened?

- A mishap in the kitchen.

I'm so sorry.

I appreciate your punctuality.

Thank you, you're looking so pretty.

If you look this good now,

what about tomorrow?

Stop flattering me, it's suspicious,

you're up to something.

I swear I'm not.

- Ramiro.

- President.

- I hope there's time for a rematch.

- What?

You want to be the loser of Cartagena?

Time brings wisdom.

You're the local, find us a court.

Hoffmann.

Welcome Mr. President.

My dear Hernn,

do you remember Moreno Hueyo?

How could I forget,

I appointed him.

Do I need to remind you

who appoints the ambassadors?

- Your Excellency.

- Welcome to Chile.

- Welcome to Chile, Mr. President.

- Natalia.

Hello.

- All clear, sir.

- Thank you, Ral.

My head is spinning.

How high up are we?

Over 3,000 meters.

I'll get you something to help.

- Are you hungry?

- No.

- I'll order you a hamburger.

- With cheese.

I know.

In one hour's time,

it's the bilateral with Ecuador.

Tell me,

what about Marina?

I'm working on it.

Get some rest.

Good evening, sir.

Good evening,

I'm here with miss Marina Blanco.

Marina Blanco?

She's not on the list, sir.

She's the president of Argentina's

daughter.

Let me explain, sir...

Hi, Luisa. I'm here.

They won't let me in.

What do I do?

Thank you for coming.

- You've changed your hair.

- A long time ago.

It suits you.

- I've not seen you for ages, Luisa.

- Yes.

How are you?

Tired, I had to leave in a rush.

I know, I'm sorry.

Who are all these men?

- Welcome, darling.

- Thank you.

I'm here if you need anything.

It's a mistake,

we're being excluded.

Don't annoy me.

You set up a meeting with Mexico

and got us into a mess with Brazil.

I'm foreign minister, my role is

to establish links between nations.

No, your main role

is not to screw things up.

Your 2nd role

is to work for your country,

not for the Mexicans.

They're using you as a secretary.

Won't you say something, Hernn?

You knew I was meeting the Mexicans.

You're getting us

into trouble with Brazil.

The president could ask

for your resignation.

- Don't threaten me, Gallego.

- I'm not. I'm not threatening you.

I've got things to say, too.

Really?

Then I am threatening you!

From now on, you shut up.

If you're making a press statement,

you come to me.

If you're meeting someone,

you tell me.

Hernn, Marina's here.

You're on the bench for this match.

- Gentlemen.

- Why didn't you tell me she was here?

My darling.

Hello.

- Thanks for coming.

- That's OK.

Come in.

Hi, how are you?

Marina sweetie, how are you?

- We're chatting.

- As usual.

How are you?

- How was the journey?

- Good.

- The boys?

- Good, they're with Andrea.

Do you know why he's doing this?

No, but I can imagine.

Does he want money?

No, he has money.

He's just panicking.

Could he be taking drugs again?

I've no idea. Probably,

but that's got nothing to do with it.

He's paranoid, that's all.

Marina, we need

to ask you some questions.

They're for your own good.

We need to find out what you know.

Is that a question?

If you're referring to my ex-husband's

accounts, we never shared our money.

I've been independent

since I was 18, luckily.

Yes, but most of the properties

are in your name.

And?

Is this an interrogation?

Have I broken the law?

No, nothing like that.

That's not it,

we want to know where we stand.

I don't stand anywhere.

I don't have any problem.

I'm separated.

If my ex has a bone to pick with you,

it's your job to resolve it.

That's not really the case.

Yes, it is the case.

It is the case,

and if it's not,

then it's your job to make it the case.

I am no part of this problem.

It's your problem,

your government's problem.

I am not part of this government,

I have a family connection to it.

- Is that not clear for anyone?

- It's very clear.

Very clear.

We're done.

Relax.

- Good night, sir.

- Thank you, see you tomorrow.

Hi Nati.

Hello.

How are you?

Tired.

Marina?

She's fine.

I missed you a lot today.

A lot?

Yes.

Of all the presidents at this summit,

you are definitely the one

who raises the highest expectations.

Your political profile

has grown immensely in recent years.

You've reduced poverty levels

as never before in your country;

unemployment and illiteracy levels

are down to single figures.

But, on the other hand,

you've doubled the defense budget

and tripled the advertising budget.

I've heard you referred to

as "the Emperor".

A supposed 3rd emperor, whose aim

is to reestablish the Brazilian empire.

Everybody believes that

this summit could mean

your long term conquest of the continent.

Miss Klein,

I'm not an emperor.

Nor am I a Caesar.

I am not out to conquer anything.

I'm the president of a country,

a huge and complex country,

with a dramatic history

of injustice and inequality.

I can't indulge in metaphoric games.

I'm a statesman,

not a visionary.

I perform a role.

My role is for one of the earth's

most unequal regions

to start turning its history around

and become a decent and fair place

for those who live in it.

I don't want us to refer
