16 YEARS AFTER THE ISRAELI EMBASSY BOMBING
Hello, Abraham.
Are you taking care of yourself?
You know.
There's no worse patient
than a doctor.
Go on.
This is good.
You're here to see your mom?
I went to the cemetery, yes.
I should have come sooner.
You like punishing yourself.
She wouldn't have noticed.
She fell asleep.
She left so peacefully.
She told me
she was so happy when
when she went to visit you.
She told me everything.
You took her to the social center,
you took her for walks all over the city.
And to tea at the Alvear Gallery.
Right?
For her it was like a farewell.
At the end,
she constantly talked about you.
She said she liked to watch you play.
And every time she had to say
something important,
she closed her eyes first.
Thank you for taking care of her.
Look at that.
Do you know
how much I spend on pills alone?
Get one that has a little groove there.
I can't bend down.
So I leave it on the floor.
It's white with a groove that they put,
maybe just so you can't see it.
So that you buy more when you lose them.
Tell me they can't make bigger grooves.
YOSI
THE REGRETFUL SPY
TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE BOMBING
We brought you peace
We brought you peace
-You've neglected us, Iosi.
-He's like that.
He only gives you pieces of himself.
If they're the best pieces, that's not bad.
I'm being selfish when I say
I miss your vocal register in the chorus.
Iosi is a yuppie.
He has no time for spiritual things.
He isn't a yuppie.
He's more like a Chicago boy.
I miss you all too.
I miss singing.
But things at work are a little
It's intense. A lot of work. But I'll
Hey, what a lovely gathering. Everyone together.
It's so nice.
How are you, Eli? Long time no see.
Why don't you answer my calls? Just one.
I just want to talk.
I'm not asking for much.
Here I am. Look at me.
Look at me. I'm here!
I have nothing to talk about, Victor.
Don't touch me!
I know who you are.
You're a piece of shit.
You're a con man.
Yes, you've got them all fooled here,
haven't you?
You're all fooled by him. But I'm not.
Not me.
Your mask will fall off,
you son of a bitch.
What's up?
Piece of shit.
What are you looking at?
Look at him. He's a piece of shit!
Son of a bitch, you're a piece of shit.
Asshole!
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Poor Victor.
We brought you peace
We brought you peace
-I don't want to bother you guys though.
-Not at all! You don't bother us!
Tell her It's no bother.
-No, not at all.
-No, it's no bother.
After dropping Eli off,
we must go to your dad's.
-We're not going to your apartment?
-No. He wants to see me.
Even on Friday nights
he won't leave you alone.
It seems important.
Eli, I think the only way to end this
is with distance.
Start a new life.
We have a project
that feels like it might be reborn.
It's starting a new life.
I can tell Eli.
Until you talk about things,
they don't appear to be happening.
We're moving to Villa La Angostura.
-Really?
-Yes.
We're happy.
We're going to live off tourism.
Right? We'll build cabins.
It seems like a very nice place
to have a family.
I don't want my children's dad
attached to a fax machine.
I lived that.
I don't want it for my family.
We've been thinking about it.
It's not like we're leaving soon.
We pay the deposit this week.
-I need to talk to you.
-We need to talk to you too.
We need the money my mom left me.
To sign for buying some land this week.
By the end of the year
we'd like to be in Villa La Angostura.
Dafne.
You can count on that,
but right now,
it's important that I talk to Iosi.
Get changed while we talk.
-Don't let him stop it.
-Okay.
Saúl, the money isn't urgent.
There's no land, no date. It's just Dafne.
Stop talking nonsense.
I told you I need you here.
When will you control her?
Stay alert.
Nothing has happened yet.
But just in case, pay attention.
What happened?
Kadar was baiting.
He was giving us little.
Now he'll give us nothing.
They have customs and the weapons.
He must have thought,
"Why do I need this Jew?"
He's wrong.
He didn't create this business.
It's more costly for everyone
to exclude me than include me.
He's not the only one
who can arm the Balkans.
I'm not just a retailer.
With just one phone call,
I can divert two French containers
going to Rwanda.
Do you know the mess if I bring
another player to the table?
They'll have to get what's left over from
Military Manufacturing ready in the port.
I want to see how they'll get it
to the factory in Río Tercero.
What if Kadar finds out
we're screwing up his business?
He will respect me as a partner
and talk to me as an equal.
At times you must show power.
So this is all part of the negotiation.
Well, we're talking.
They'll talk too.
There'll be some backlash.
This prevents us from getting rusty.
Do you see it?
You're working 24/7 for him.
I don't have a moment with you.
You promised me, honey.
Yes. And I'll keep my promise.
Things are getting complicated
for your dad.
The tapes protect us.
I promise we'll fulfill our dreams
of a beautiful family,
but I need time now.
Trust me.
I'm protecting you, okay?
What did you throw out?
The contraceptives.
I don't need protection. You'll protect me.
I'll keep Victor Kesselman's copies.
It's fine, they're yours.
I took a look at them.
The girl in Palermo cost him dearly.
You've got him by the balls.
Let him go if you want.
We can call Mandrake.
Pay 10 or 12 thousand,
and the entire file disappears.
Mandrake?
If there's no file, there's no case.
I have a question. Is this business
or a personal matter?
You won't tell me.
You're sneaky.
That's why you get along with Claudia.
Claudia doesn't get along.
But we must admit she's right, the bitch.
We lack people as committed as her.
I don't think she'll last long.
They don't want her.
People like her aren't useful.
As a friend,
I suggest you have a reserve parachute.
With the files, I'm collecting favors, money.
You should do the same.
Don't call Mandrake for now.
I'll tell you.
ARSLANIAN FINALLY RESIGNS
-I'm sorry, sir.
-It's okay. Go on. That's not my nail.
Watch my little toe.
Hello.
Sorry to bother you.
I've something important to discuss.
Antonio.
Bye.
Tell me.
I was asked to reprimand your friend.
Menachem.
Why?
He damaged Kadar's business.
Are you telling me
or asking for permission?
We'll make a big mess.
Media, lawsuits The whole show.
I've got Kadar outside. Pretty angry.
Shall I get him?
I'll get him.
Kadar.
Come in.
Dear Kadar.
This is your home.
Why are you here, Mom? How'd you find me?
My son. José.
Who's that girl?
-José, I don't understand. You said
-My friend.
Who gave you my address?
Rabbi Straimel.
-Was it him?
-Yes.
-Did you talk to anyone else?
-No.
He gave it to me.
Do you live here?
It's nice.
Won't you ask me in?
Some other time.
I came to the hospital clinic
to have some tests done
and to authorize a medical test
for social security.
I wanted to know how you were.
I think about you a lot.
I'm your mother.
I miss you.
Won't you come with me?
I can't, Mom.
I'll get you a cab.
No. It's okay.
I'd rather walk.
They're coming to the meeting.
Tobe first. From Aliyah and Absorption
of the World Zionists.
Don't speak Jewish.
Aliyah?
The return to the Promised Land.
One of the 613 precepts.
You've learned them all, Jew.
That is Droblas,
from Colonization and Settlements.
-He's a specialist in forestation.
-Watch him.
It's crucial for the Andinia Plan.
That's Harel of Foreign Affairs.
-He deals with peace negotiations.
-Sure. Lots of work, few results.
Did you get information
on Tuesday's meeting?
A lunch for the press.
Then a top-secret meeting at the embassy.
The OSA has already been invited.
I was included in it all.
What?
You're respected in the community.
You did a great job, José.
The Force is looking up to you.
And I'm proud.
Saúl worries me.
I think he's making mistakes.
He can hurt us.
What do you mean?
He's in a pissing contest with Kadar.
He's underestimating the government.
Or are you worried for you?
For me.
No one will touch you.
Concentrate on Tuesday's meeting.
I'll take care of the rest.
Look how you fill your plate. It's rude.
I can't--
You had two helpings.
Well-educated. Poorly learned.
Look who's talking.
Now the potatoes
Are you bored?
No. No.
Okay. If you want, stay later
for a drink so we can talk.
Careful, we might get you drunk
and take advantage
of your small-town naivety.
Oscar, if you believe that Iosi is naïve,
you're the naïve one.
-Maybe.
-Iosi, I want to tell you something.
Every one of Marcelo's birthdays
I thank God for having sent him to me.
We couldn't have had
a better person and a better son.
We always wanted another son,
but unfortunately we couldn't have one.
And that is where God appeared again
and sent us Oscar,
who for us is that other son.
Thank you, Oscar,
for making Marcelo happy,
because happiness is the best gift
you can receive every day of your life.
It's my birthday, Mom.
Yeah, look. He's jealous now.
Cut it out,
because I have to deal with him.
So that's it, Chuchi, thanks.
Mom, it's not Óscar, it's Oscar.
My brother?
That'd be an abomination.
Sinful Rabbi.
Moderation, please.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Mazel tov!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Marcelo!
Happy birthday to you!
I'll pour you a little.
That's fine.
Hey, where's Dafne?
Actually, I needed some space.
Yeah, she's kind of intense.
You're so mean.
Yes, but he's got a point.
But do you love her?
We have been dating for a long time.
We get what we need from each other.
That sounds more like
a business partnership.
I think I drank too much.
No one will judge you, Iosi.
What is it to be Jewish?
It is to be with another
who recognizes himself as a Jew.
Where several of us tell each other
that we are something
we can't explain, but we share.
This confusion.
We can be vulnerable.
No one will judge you, Iosi.
Now we close the door
and let our guard down.
So, come on, make yourself comfortable.
Cheers!
Cheers.
I needed a night like this.
In a place like this.
I don't know if you noticed,
you can't see the apartment from outside.
This was a safe house
during the dictatorship.
It saved many people from death.
The previous rabbi, Schmuel,
was a real zaddik.
A real leader who lived for his community.
I'll never live up to Schmuel.
But look what it's like here, paradise.
Early in the morning,
it's filled with light.
God starts here.
It's the first home he visits.
Aren't you worried
God sees all that you do?
Iosi, what are you up to?
Tell me one day if you want.
But between two ugly gays who keep
each other company
and a guy who lives in a head
that I guess must be a hell,
who do you think God is looking at?
Oscar and me spooning?
I don't think so,
do you?
Garrido?
What's up, buddy?
Call Mandrake.
Don't tell me that
you're feeling remorse
Call him.
Okay, do you have the money?
It'll be there, don't worry.
Víctor.
What do you want? I've nothing to say to you.
You're having a bad time.
I'm trying to help.
It's just a second.
A colleague put me on to a contact
at the court handling your case.
It's over. They'll stop bothering you.
What are you talking about?
My hearing is next week.
That case no longer exists.
It vanished?
It disappeared.
At what price?
Leave Eli alone.
What?
Leave her alone.
They did me a favor by pulling this case.
But it can reappear.
I made your bed.
I left you a blanket.
Sometimes it's cold here at night.
At my age
Sleep?
They say the soul goes at night
and is returned to you in the morning.
But no
But God starts the day here.
He starts in this building.
So you can relax.
-Baruch Hashem.
-Baruch Hashem.
We brought you peace
We brought you peace
We brought you peace
-Trick!
-I'll raise.
-I claim four.
-Call.
What nerve you have
I'll take a puff
Just one
Israel, My Lord
Israel, My Lord
Hello.
Hello.
Eli?
Yes. I'm sorry to call you at the bank
But I can't talk to anyone else.
What happened?
Ignacio's remains were identified
in a mass grave.
They called me
because his mother cannot handle it.
I have to do it.
I don't know if I can do it alone.
Where are you?
At the Galeria bar.
I'll be right there.
Thank you.
IRS
It's a raid.
-Did you talk to Saúl?
-They're calling him.
Mr. Peres, what should we do?
Talk to Saúl.
I told you, I have a mole inside.
They'll protect you. Don't worry.
I'll follow the issue closely.
Anything else?
No.
Don't worry, I'll let you know.
Are you calling from the bank?
No, from a bar.
It's a big deployment.
All noise and no action.
They're taking everything.
The death throes.
Now we have to negotiate.
This is all part of a government show
to calm Kadar down. Don't worry. Bye.
I'm waiting for another call.
Hello.
Listen to me, Saúl. This is a mess.
Let's look on the bright side.
I've got two dozen Olam dumplings
in the freezer.
Come have lunch at my house.
We'll figure it out together.
Okay. See you there.
Exalted and sanctified
be His great name throughout all eternity.
In the world which He created according
to His will, may He establish His kingdom,
and may His salvation blossom
and His anointed be near
during your lifetime and during your days
and during the lifetimes of all the House of Israel,
-speedily and very soon, and say, Amen.
-Amen.
What are you thinking?
I know nothing about you.
You know things about me no one knows.
What do you want to know?
Everything.
Whatever you want to tell me.
Your family? You never mention them.
Recently my mom came to visit me.
From my town, Basavilbaso.
She arrived unannounced.
I treated her badly.
I felt like shit.
It's hard for me to talk to her.
I don't know what to say to her.
She had to go to the hospital,
and I didn't go with her.
I got rid of her.
Can I tell you something?
I'm a lousy son.
I didn't get nighttime ones,
but the girl at the pharmacy
said these were good.
Boring movie?
What a shame, José.
Really too bad, just when you were
believing he was your old man for real.
You're going to have to come with us.
Kill me, you son of a bitch.
No, no. You have to come with us.
You know how it is, José.
Think calmly, José.
Are you going to kill me?
I'm no good to you dead.
I'm your reserve parachute.
You're not smiling now?
Are you leaving?
I have an OSA meeting at the embassy.
I'll be back. Wait for me?
And stay alone in your apartment?
No, I'm leaving.
He's an idiot.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
Saúl is looking for you.
I've spoken to him. I'm late.
The meeting has moved.
To the hotel in Catalinas.
They paged you.
Fuck!
It turned off.
Did you hear about the bank?
Of course. I was there, Aaron.
What happened?
Did you disappear?
You want an explanation?
And you?
I have things to do.
I was in Tel Aviv last August.
We were there for three months.
Just in Tel Aviv.
-Then, from there, we took a
-Good afternoon.
Sorry I'm late.
No problem at all. We were waiting.
Now that we are all here, let's toast
to this very important moment.
-L'chaim.
-L'chaim! To life!
-L'chaim.
-L'chaim.
Was that a plane?
No, it wasn't.
So what was it?
The embassy was bombed.
We have to go. The road is blocked.
What happened?
An explosion at the embassy.
We must evacuate.
Let's go. After me. Let's go.
