Cut it out.

You got this.

Ahem.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Oh, no worries. Abril Torres.

Greg Patterson. Sit.

So, Abril...

great name.

Thank you. My father was from Argentina.

Ah, I've always wanted to go there.

It's beautiful.

I spent every summer there when I was a kid.

Lucky you.

Listen, Abril, um,

I'm gonna cut straight to the chase here.

-Your resume's great. -Mm.

Dual MBAs.

Senior consultant at Davrow,

running a team at McKinner Financial...

you've, um, developed strategies

for some of the biggest

Fortune 500 companies on the planet,

and then...

nothing...

for a year.

Why?

Greg, I'd rather focus on the future

and what I can do for you and your clients.

Paradigm shifts, visionary thinking,

disruptive innovation--

that's where my strengths lie,

not in the past.

Mm.

Listen, Abril, um...

I know who you are.

I mean, you're sort of a legend.

You're the business consultant

who almost drove a billion-dollar corporation

into bankruptcy.

Oh--

I need to know what went wrong.

Greg, I would be good at this job.

I live, breathe, eat business strategies.

It has been my entire adult life

and my track record of success

far outweighs one little hiccup.

"One little hiccup"?

Come on, Abril. Give me the inside scoop, okay?

I can use it to scare my junior consultants

into working weekends.

You're like the ultimate cautionary tale.

[deep breath]

Thank you for your time.

Please let me know

if opportunities arise in the future.

Thank you.

[***]

Hey, Mom.

Well, the... interview didn't go great,

but don't worry-- I still have savings.

Yes, I'm eating.

Not exactly haute cuisine, but I'll cook tomorrow.

How are you?

[video call rings]

Oh, actually, Mom, could I call you back?

Belinda's calling me.

-Bye. -[ringing]

Hola, cuz!

Hola, amiga! ¿Cómo fue la entrevista de trabajo?

Okay, come on.

You know my Spanish isn't that good.

I asked how the job interview went.

Well, uh, I'm eating toaster pastries out of a box

at four in the afternoon-- you decide.

Oh! I love toaster pastries!

[laughs]

Um, not the point. I'm sorry about the interview.

Okay, enough about me. How are you?

How's the ranch? Sorry, la estancia?

See? I remember some Spanish.

Well, that's actually why I am calling.

I got an offer.

Someone wants to buy the ranch.

What?

I think we should take it.

It's a good offer.

Bell, why would we ever do that?

You love it there.

I love it there.

I loved our summers there.

You haven't been here since you were 18 years old.

When abuelo passed

and left the ranch to us,

you were in America, living your dream,

and I never faulted you for that.

But I was here,

and it's just been me for all these years.

I think it's time for me to live my dream.

I could use my half of the sale to finally open a restaurant.

Okay, there's gotta be a way that we can...

[deep breath]

I don't know!

...have our toaster pastries and eat them, too?

How?

I don't know yet, but Bell, this is what I do.

I look at companies

and I find ways to make them better.

I can get you your dream without selling the ranch,

and maybe, in the process,

I can add another successful story to my resume.

Maybe this is the ticket I need

to get my dream, back here in Boston.

Please, let me try.

Okay.

What do I need to do?

Clean out a guest room?

Wait, what?

Wait! No se puede hablar en serio?

Are you coming to Argentina?

Yes!

[giggles] Yes!

Will you bring toaster pastries?

Deal!

[both laughing]

[***]

[***]

Abril!

Hi! It's so good to see you.

Are you going to a meeting?

Why are you dressed like that?

What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?

Did you forget it was summer here?

It must be at least 32 degrees.

Okay, what's the conversion to Fahrenheit again?

Take it times two, add 30?

Close enough.

Okay, you can change back at the ranch,

but first, we have to salute the national flag--

which means drink some Malbec and eat a steak.

You've been gone too long, amiga.

[***]

You ordered a whole bottle?

It's lunch!

If it was dinner, we'd get two.

[chuckles]

To my cousin-- mi mejor amiga.

Ah, I remember that-- "best friend".

Mm!

Okay.

So... tell me everything.

Are you seeing anyone?

I live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere.

The dating pool-- it's not exactly deep.

Well, what about that guy--

he worked at that restaurant, a few towns over?

I mean, you guys had a lot in common.

He spent all his time

watching soccer matches on his phone--

including while we were on dates.

-Ohh... -No thanks.

Just once,

I want to date someone who owns a tie.

I spent the last 15 years

dating guys who own lots of ties.

I promise you, it does not make them grown-ups.

Whatever happened to romance?

Passion?

Your heart fluttering every time you see each other.

Viva l'amor-- "long live love"?

Oh...

I haven't heard that since--

Diego?

Oh, Diego...

That's a blast from the past.

I thought the two of you would last forever...

until that last summer...

and then he broke your heart.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Let's not give him that much credit.

He was a childhood sweetheart.

My romantic idea of a gaucho--

complete with a guitar--

and then he just...

rode off into the sunset, never to be heard from again,

and I haven't thought about him in years.

He moved to Mexico.

Mexico City.

Yeah, he went into finance and then he just...

Okay, I looked him up on social media a few times--

but then he fell off the grid--

I have no idea where he is.

Well--

Oh, come on!

Look at that! [gasps]

I really have been trying to eat less red meat.

Mm!

Okay.

I have been gone way too long.

Yes, you have, amiga.

Oh, it's delicious!

I have never seen someone so happy

to be mucking a horse stall.

[chuckles] "Love your work

and it will love you right back."

Who taught me that?

You did, Papa.

And this is good, honest work-- it's its own reward.

Well, I'm glad to hear you say it now.

It took you a while to understand it.

What I don't understand

is why we're speaking English.

Well, you know, I want to practice.

For what?

Well, you should know--

Belinda's coming back from Buenos Aires.

And?

With our very special guest.

Who's that?

Abril!

Abril? No, she arrives on Tuesday.

Well, today is Tuesday.

Today is Tuesday? Really?

No, no, no, no! I'm not ready!

I can't see Abril like this!

I gotta change, this--

Oh, you still have feelings for her, huh?

No! That was a teenage romance thing,

and we both went different directions, literally.

Then what should it matter what you look like

when you meet her, no?

Dad, this is business,

and the first impressions are very important.

Come on, Diego.

You're doing a good, honest job that you love--

I'm sure she will understand that.

Yeah, uh, I gotta change.

[***]

Andrés! Feli!

Abril! Que buena verte.

It's so good to see you!

-Oh! -Mi amor!

Oh, I've missed you!

And what do you think? Is it everything you remember?

Oh, and more!

[sighs contentedly]

Who's that?

Oh, that's Diego.

No, that's not Diego!

-Mm-hmm. -Diego?

Diego's here? Why didn't you tell me?

Yeah, about that-- I got distracted by lunch...

...but the Malbec may have played a part.

[***]

Abril! So nice to see you!

Diego, hi!

Good to see you.

So, you're back...

So, you're back!

Yeah, I-I work here with my parents,

on the ranch now.

Really?

Well, that's good to know.

Would've been good to know a little earlier...

Would you like me to give you a tour?

Oh, Diego, come on.

I practically grew up here. I know my way around.

That was many years ago and there's so many changes--

like the new stables.

You need to see that. Want to come?

Sure.

[darkly] No toaster pastries for you.

[***]

This is going to be fun.

[chuckling]

So, when did you move back from Mexico City?

Who told you I lived there?

Oh, I guess I heard it... from Belinda, probably?

I mean, it's not like I looked you up online,

or anything.

Of course not.

But yes, I worked in finance and I didn't like it.

Why not?

Because I realized I don't like having a boss.

So, I sold everything, and I traveled the continent,

and I worked on ranches,

I played music, I talked to people...

I wanted to be free, and I was... free.

[laughs]

Who's playing you in this movie?

Sorry, sorry-- it's just, um...

"I wanted to be free, and I was free."

-Yeah. -What is all that?

What do you mean?

Well, what I mean, we-- we grew up together.

We-- you were this funny guy who-who liked American TV,

and hip-hop, and read poetry.

You never took this whole gauchothing too seriously.

Well, how about you?

Well, what about me?

You were running around here pretending to be a gaucha,

with your knees scraped and muddy clothes.

You were--

what's that word? I'm trying to think...

"Free."

I'm still... free.

Your expensive suit would say otherwise.

I just got off the plane! Haven't had time to change yet.

I think a lot has changed.

Come on.

I'll show you.

[***]

Exhibit "A."

That's me!

My abuelos.

Did you-- Did you put up all these photos here?

Yes, and upgraded the paint,

expanded the stables so we could board more horses.

-Wow. -Yeah.

I can see that.

So, uh...

tell me about your life now.

Uh, in Boston, right?

How did you know that I was in Boston?

Belinda must have told me.

Oh.

Yeah, I'm still there.

I was working as a business consultant

for a long time, but now I'm...

now I'm looking for new opportunities.

In Argentina?

No. No, no, no, just-- no, I'm-I'm only here

because Belinda's talking about--

Well, it's just a long-overdue visit.

I haven't been here since...

That summer.

Yeah.

It was a good summer.

They all were.

I looked forward to them.

Me too.

Uh, how long are you staying?

Maybe a couple weeks?

Then... Iguazu Falls on my way home.

I still have never been.

Yeah, we were going to do that together.

Yeah, we were gonna do a lot of things together.

[sighs]

Okay, so, I have to ask.

You left...

...home, you left home,

and now you're back.

How do your parents feel about you...

freeing yourself from your finance degree

and successful career,

just to come back here

and take over your father's job as a caretaker?

My grandfather worked for your grandfathers.

My father after that.

We built this place,

we birthed the calves,

we trained the horses.

My people have been gauchos here for centuries.

I am here to preserve their traditions, their legacy,

so, no, I'm not "just a caretaker" here.

Diego...

that's not what--

You know, I think we should, uh,

get you back to the main house.

You probably want to change out of your clothes.

-Sure. -Yeah.

[Abril] Mm! Oh, Belinda.

Everything is so good!

Good enough to be served in a restaurant?

Good enough for a chain of restaurants.

Okay, so, have you figured out how it's going to happen yet?

Well, I'm gonna sit down with the financials after dinner

and run some numbers, dig into the offer.

We're gonna figure this out.

Did you tell Andrés and Feli

that you are considering selling?

Oh, well, actually, Diego--

Oh! Let me guess. Ha.

He gave you the whole speech about the life of a gaucho?

Well, you know...

he loves it here.

Yeah, I get it. I do, too.

After my parents divorced, it was always...

two households, two cultures--

two different versions of me--

too American to be Argentinean,

too Argentinean to be American...

but, when I was here...

none of that mattered.

Here, I felt like

I had solid ground under my feet.

Then why did you stop coming?

[sighs]

Well...

I always meant to come back,

and even retire here...

but in the meantime, I got busy.

I found solid ground back home.

My career was-- well, "was" being the operative word...

It'll be an "is" again.

Starting here.

[chuckles] Thank you, Bell.

Thank you, Bell.

[Belinda chuckles]

[***]

...And the assets minus amortization,

but then the market position...

[sighing]

Hi!

Amiga, did you not sleep at all?

No, no, I've been up all night,

trying to sort through all of this--

most of it's in Spanish,

so I'm depending on translation apps,

but I think I'm getting really close.

I can't quite--

[alarmed] Did you drink all this mate?

Yeah, well, it's basically herbal tea.

It's basically rocket fuel!

There's enough caffeine in this to keep you awake for a week!

Oh, is that why I'm seeing strange colors?

Okay, you need to get some sleep.

No, something just isn't adding up.

Yes, the papers are upside-down.

Oh.

Abril, um...

No, I'm so close!

I just--

I just-- I can't quite figure out something.

-[stammering] -Why don't you talk a walk?

Clear your mind... maybe that will help.

Okay.

And leave those here, please. Thank you.

Go. Go. Go.

[sighs as door closes]

[***]

[gasps]

Oh!

Shouldn't sneak up on people.

Should I wear a bell?

Yeah, I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

Okay, what is it?

You seem a bit... jumpy.

Yeah, no, I'm-I'm fine.

I just, um...

well, I--

there's a problem.

I-I just... I can't figure it out.

Can I help?

No, it's business stuff-- it's just--

it's financial statements and proposals, and...

Well, I worked in finance before I became a caretaker,

so...

Right. Sorry.

Okay, listen, I know that Belinda told you

that there's an offer to sell the ranch.

Yes.

But this company that wants to buy it,

this "DTM," is offering a lot less

than what the property is worth, based on my research,

and I just-- I-I can't figure out why.

I mean, a-am I missing something?

Is there something about this property

that would account for that?

No, the property's fine.

Also, the-they're offering a very fair price--

it's just below market value,

and if it's all they have, and Belinda wants to sell...

Yeah, but Belinda doesn't want to sell.

She just wants to open a restaurant,

and I don't want to sell.

You don't?

No! No, what I want

is to eat the toaster pastries I have.

It's a metaphor.

I'm sorry. Uh, never mind.

Maybe instead of buying, they invest?

W-Well, what if they don't want to invest?

What if they want to ownthe ranch?

Well, then we don't call it an investment.

We can just take on a partner.

[testily] But they don't want a partner.

They want to own the ranch outright.

How do you know?

"DTM"?

Diego... Teodoro... Mendez.

You! You wanna buy the ranch?

Yes!

I thought that's why you were here--

to sell it to me.

No! I'm here to find a way so we don't sell the ranch--

to anyone!

Well, then we have a problem.

Yes, we do.

What are we gonna do about that?

Well, I don't know...

yet,

but I am gonna go convince Belinda

that the best idea is to keep the ranch.

No. I'm gonna go and convince Belinda

that the best idea is to sell it to me.

Really?

Yeah.

Really?

Hey! Hey!

What if I sell my half to Diego,

and then you two can own it together-- I mean, partners?

No. No, I don't want partners!

No, he doesn't want a boss.

Listen, if I had a partner, you would never be my boss.

Oh, so you'd be the boss of me?

Belinda, I know that I can solve this.

I need to solve this.

You said you'd give me a chance to figure out a way

to get you your restaurant without selling the ranch.

Will you please still give me that chance?

-Yes, of course! -Great.

No, Belinda, you said you'd sell it to me.

I said if Abril agreed.

[Abril] Abril doesn'tagree.

You will.

I won't!

We'll see.

Yes, we will.

Is everything okay?

[both] No!

[***]

Remember how I said this was going to be fun?

I was wrong.

[***]

Hey.

Did you sleep?

I did, I'm totally refreshed and ready to get back to work.

Abril, I don't want this to cause problems between us.

It won't.

What about Diego?

Well, what about him?

I was including him in the "us" part of

"I don't want this to cause problems between us."

Well, thatI can't promise.

I mean, he's obviously got this grandiose vision

of him riding in like a heroic gaucho

to save the ranch, and you know what?

The ranch doesn't need saving, and neither do we--

and I'm gonna prove it.

How?

Well, we need to start fighting fire with fire.

I don't understand.

The first rule of business consultancy

is to fit into your environment--

make it seem like you belong there.

Okay. So?

So... we're going shopping.

[***]

[squish]

Oh!

Nice boots.

Thank you.

Who do we have here?

Megan.

This is a stallion.

So, he's Megan "the" Stallion?

Yeah.

Your doing, I suppose?

I will introduce you to "Ross" and "Rachel" later.

[laughs]

So, these boots--

are they your business strategy for the ranch?

No, I'm still reviewing documents,

so I can understand how everything works.

I love Bell,

but organization is not exactly her strong suit.

Well, that's why she relies on someone

who understands the ranch

without having to read a bunch of documents.

And that, my friend, explains the boots.

To have a good business strategy,

you have to do research,

and I'm not too proud to admit

that there are things that I need to learn

in order to make an informed recommendation.

And who are you gonna learn all this stuff from?

Me?

[starts laughing]

What's so funny?

[deep breath]

So, you want me to help you

convince Belinda not to sell the ranch to me.

Why would I do that?

Well, I still own half this ranch,

and you are an employee,

so technically--

Don't say it.

[whispers] ...I'm your boss.

Buenos días.

Good morning, Andrés.

-How are you? -I'm well. How are you?

Look at you. You're coming on the ride today, right?

Oh, uh...

Today, we take the horses to the pampas.

You want to learn about the ranch?

The trail ride is the best place to start.

Well, then, yes. I'd love to.

Wonderful.

'Kay.

Let's do it.

So, how many rides do we do a day?

Let's see, we do, uh, one-- every morning.

Well, that seems like a missed opportunity

for revenue.

Shouldn't we be doing multiples a day?

No, it's too hot in the afternoons,

and difficult for the horses and the tourists,

because it can get above 30 degrees.

Times two, add 30--

got it.

What about night-time rides?

Campfire tours could be fun.

You know what?

That is a great idea that I've already implemented,

with Belinda's blessing.

Yeah...

but there's so many things

that need to be taken care of around here.

The fence line needs to be checked every month.

Supplies reordered every quarter,

then, the horses and the cows

need to be fed and watered daily,

and vaccinated every year,

and we have to make allowances for all these repairs

that come up all the time.

On top of that, you have the group bookings,

and, uh, seasonal hirings, but...

I can save you some time, if you want,

and you know, just explain my business plan.

You have a business plan?

What, are you surprised that the caretaker can make one?

Oh, come on!

You're gonna have to let that go.

I never meant it to be--

But my family have been here since before I was born.

Oh, here we go! Diego, I checked with Belinda.

You've only been back here a few months.

You've been gone almost as long as I have.

The only difference is, I never wanted to leave.

Well, you always left.

[***]

You remember when we used to race to the other side?

[laughs] And you almost drowned and I had to carry you?

No.

I pretended to drown so you could take care of me.

Oh, yeah? Keep telling yourself that.

[chuckling]

Would you mind taking a photo?

-Of course. Of course. -Thanks.

[shutter snapping]

Perfect.

So, this is your daily life, huh?

Just... ride horses to the river,

take pictures of people?

No.

Sometimes, we ride horses to the lake

and take pictures of people.

-[laughs] -Why?

What's your day like?

Well, if I'm working,

I'm sitting in front of a computer for 12 hours,

until I remember to eat.

And if you're not working?

I worry about why I'm not working.

Just send emails, check my phone.

So, you're working, even if you're not working?

Yeah.

And, uh... how's your family?

Well, my mom lives in San Diego,

but we talk all the time,

and after Dad passed, he--

Oh...

I'm sorry.

He was a good man.

Yeah. Yeah, he was.

He thought about coming back here and running the place.

But... since he was gone...

and Bell's parents didn't want it,

Grandma and Grandpa left it to us.

Sometimes, I wonder what they were thinking.

That they loved you.

I'm sorry.

That first picture didn't turn out very well.

Could you take another?

Oh, sorry, yes, but you know what?

Let's go to this spot over here.

-Okay. -It's much better.

-It's more beautiful. -Okay.

[sighs]

[hooves clopping]

-Whoa! -You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, thank you.

I could have done that myself.

Ah, "she wasn't looking for a knight,

she was looking for a sword."

You still read poetry?

Well, yeah.

Well, I guess not everything has changed.

It seems so.

Well, thanks for the trail ride.

I think that will really help with my research.

Any time... "Boss."

Ha!

Hey, Bell?

I need you to explain something to me.

Oh, do you need a translation?

Oh, no.

How about I hold, and you read?

What's this?

Oh, that's a loan.

What loan?

You remember when we were kids, there was all that flooding...

and Abuelo had to put in new irrigation

to repair the damage to the old stables,

so he got a loan.

Well, was it ever repaid?

There was a financial crisis in 2001--

the banks collapsed,

the loan was bought by somebody,

and then was bought by somebody else,

and eventually, it just went away.

Bell, loans don't just go away.

We still owe this money.

To who?

I tried to find out,

and I was told mas vale dejarlo estar.

Like, "it's better to let it be."

Well, letting things be

is a great way to get in trouble later.

I learned that the hard way.

-[horn honking] -Oh...

that must be Antonio.

Antonio who?

Tenaglia?

He used to live at a ranch a few miles down the road.

He was one of the kids

that would hang out here in the summer.

Yeah, I remember him, but why is he here?

He's a lawyer in Buenos Aires,

and we're friends on social media.

I asked him to stop by and look at the paperwork.

Antonio is a lawyer?

He was such a troublemaker when we were kids.

I figured, by now, he'd need a lawyer.

[laughing] That's good.

[***]

Antonio!

Abril! Debo estar sonando.

I'm guessing that means you can't believe I'm here?

[laughing]

Oh, I must be dreaming.

Look at you!

Antonio, ¿qué pasa?

Querido.

¿Cómo estás?

It means, "How are you?"

-He said, "I'm fine." -Yeah, I got the gist.

Antonio, como estas?

Belinda.

Hey.

Look at you, all grown up.

You look amazing.

Oh, thank you.

Tch. Wow!

It's hard to believe, right?

All of us together again, as if nothing has changed.

Abril and I were just about to sit down to a light lunch.

You're welcome to join us.

Oh, no. No, I don't want to intrude.

No!

Please, come on. We are old friends, right?

-Yeah, that's true. -Come.

After you, friend.

Thanks.

[laughter]

I mean, I still can't believe you thought it was a good idea

to ride a horse standing up.

We were playing gauchos!

You have to make an entrance.

You are lucky you only broke your arm.

-It could've been your neck. -Mm-hmm!

It was Diego's idea.

Well, I was 15. I was very stupid.

I had a lot of stupid ideas.

Yeah--

like trying to cross the river in your father's truck?

No, that was your idea.

It was not!

Abril, you suggested we drive.

I was joking!

I didn't think you'd actually do it.

Abril, you know when we were kids,

we would've done anything the two of you asked, right?

I don't know about that.

Come on! It's-- It's true!

We both had terrible crushes on you.

You did?

Of course!

You never said anything.

Well, I was too young.

Diego was the only one smart enough

to do anything about his crush.

Okay, uh, I have to go.

I have a tour group I need to take fishing,

so, see you later.

We should go with you.

What? Fishing?

Yes. We used to do it all the time when we were kids.

It'll be fun.

Abril is only here for a short time,

and who knows when the four of us

will have another chance to relive old memories?

Diego?

The more, the merrier. Come.

Of course.

[***]

Okay, we're out of earshot.

What is going on with you and Antonio?

I don't know what you're talking about.

"Who knows

when we'll have another chance to relive old memories"?

Okay, he grew up well.

He's a successful lawyer.

He's funny.

He's cute!

Well, yes, that doesn't hurt...

but I don't know... maybe now's not the right time,

with the ranch, and the restaurant, and--

The "right time" is when you want it to be.

Don't let anything else get in the way.

Is that what happened with you and Diego?

Nah.

Diego didn't want it to be.

We were gonna go to college,

but I wanted to go somewhere nearby

so we could both stay on the ranch together,

but he wanted to strike out on his own,

make his mark.

So, I went back to Boston,

which is fine, because I found a new life--

friends, career...

You're both here, though.

Oh, no!

I-I've tangled my line!

Antonio? C-Could you help me?

[chuckling]

You won't catch anything like that.

What?

I was never really good at this.

Wow.

Okay.

There you go.

Thanks.

Okay, so listen, um...

I've been thinking a lot about your business plan.

I found the copy you gave to Belinda,

but I haven't read it yet,

so... give me the elevator pitch.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay. Uh...

I want to use this land

as an authentic gauchoexperience.

Not what we do now, or what everyone does--

the touristy horseback rides and photo-ops with ponchos--

no, I want week-long trips in the outback,

where we teach people about the plants

and the animals, and the history,

and we preserve it...

round up cattle...

and we cook on open fires--

music, stories... heritage.

Well, that's a worthy dream.

And a necessary one, because our people--

the gaucho way of life is disappearing.

Soon, we won't even exist anymore.

It's important.

And on the business side--

I know the market,

I've done the numbers,

and it really makes sense if I own the ranch.

Okay, but just hear me out.

What if I find a way

to make it make sense

with you as an investor?

Are you gonna be talking about toaster pastries again?

No, I can--

I can find a way to get everybody what they want.

And what do you want?

What about you?

If Belinda is out of the picture,

would you come back?

No. I have a life back in Boston.

With no friends, no job, no family?

I have friends there!

And my mom visits often...

and the situation with my job-- it's temporary.

Finding a solution here will prove that I can do it again.

But regardless,

I know that I don't want to sell the ranch.

And I know that I don't wanna be justan investor.

Look, I love it here-- I love this land--

but I can do this if I buy another piece of land.

So, you'd give up on what you love,

find success somewhere else?

History repeats.

Oh, okay...

-[line whirs] -Ooh!

Oh!

Careful!

What are you doing?

Uh, just making sure you don't get swept away.

You okay?

Yeah.

No, no, that's-- That's great.

3:00, yes. Done.

Hey, and if all works out,

would you put in a good word for me around town?

[chuckles] Allen, thank you so much.

I really appreciate this.

Thank you.

Any luck finding an investor?

Maybe.

That was an old associate of mine from McKinner.

I thought no one was taking your calls anymore?

Well, he's in agri real estate now,

so he smells money in the water.

Anyway, he says he knows a banker in Buenos Aires--

Tomás Campagnaro-- and he's done some deals with him,

and is interested, and wants to come by today.

Today?

What am I going cook?

[chuckles]

Hey!

Hey.

Um...

listen, I-I wanted to, uh, give you a heads-up.

There's a, uh, investor

coming to tour the property today.

So, if you were thinking about

dressing up as a ghost to scare him,

I kindly ask not to cut any eyeholes in sheets, please?

Well, your, uh, Scooby-Doo reference

is not gonna charm me.

Diego, I know. I'm sorry.

I know that this is not what you want,

but I do think that this is the best way forward.

I'd be happy to help you execute your business plan.

And who knows?

Maybe there's probably still a way

that you can get to do what you want to do.

Just not here.

So, uh, if this works out,

uh, will you be going back to Boston?

Yeah.

Yeah. This is exactly what I need

to get my track record back on track, so to speak.

Hmm.

Although, I do want to stop by Iguazu Falls on my way home.

Is it as beautiful as the pictures?

I don't know. I've never been.

I thought you went... after that last summer we had.

No. I never made it there.

Okay.

[***]

Senor Campagnaro, mucho gusto.

Thank you so much for coming.

My pleasure...

and por favor, it's Tomás.

Well, I'm Abril, and this is my cousin, Belinda.

We own La Rambla.

Well, just driving in, your property's gorgeous.

Gracias.Are you hungry?

I fixed a small snack.

And by "small snack"

she means enough food to feed most of South America.

[chuckles] Thank you. I just had a late lunch.

Okay then, why don't we start with a tour of the property?

Wonderful.

Maybe work up an appetite?

Well, sure!

[***]

So, this is where we exercise and work the new horses

to get them ready for trail riding with guests,

and also, our guests--

-Hi! -Hi.

Diego Mendez. I'm one of the caretakers here.

Tomás Campagnaro.

So, have you worked here long?

Yeah, well, I grew up here,

so I know all the complexities of this place.

What... kind of complexities?

Why don't we go see the stables?

Right.

Ah, well, you know, how to manage the, uh, fields

and the animals,

how to irrigate from the river,

how to deal with the droughts and the fires.

Are there fires?

Yeah.

All... very manageable!

Well, I mean-- and there's the issues with the guests.

I mean, the marketing... insurance.

Don't you have a tour...

to lead?

Somewhere far away from here?

No, not for... two hours.

Oh.

Well, guest experience is our specialty,

so we might be able to lend a hand with that.

-Oh yeah? -Yeah.

How so?

Well, by utilizing

the undeveloped acreage you have

to build amenities for a more modern clientele.

Well, that's a lot

in the face of an economic downturn

in the agri food and tourism sector--

but what do I know? I'm just a caretaker here.

Anyway, full disclosure.

I'm sure they told you, but, um...

the property's haunted.

Haunted?

-[groans] Oh. -Yeah!

-Oh, really? -Let me show you the stables.

You mean, like proper ghosts?

Well, there's an energy... around the whole property.

I don't like that look.

What are you thinking right now?

Just trying to decide whether or not a jury would convict me.

[***]

That was not funny!

I thought that was very funny.

What were you thinking?

Because of you, we probably blew that deal,

and how can you be so selfish?

Selfish?

Me?

That's funny.

-Excuse me? -You come in here

and you pretend to be everyone's savior,

but you know what?

Belinda doesn't need to be saved,

and neither do I.

You're doing this to prove something to yourself,

and once again, it's all about what's good for you.

"Once again"?

Oh, is this about what happened when we were 18 years old?

Do you really wanna have that conversation now?

We're here now.

Sure. Yeah.

Say what you have to say.

Okay.

Fine.

You were my best friend.

I mean, we only spent summers together,

but I lived for those summers together...

...and then I fell in love with you,

and I naively thought that you felt the same way,

but instead, you just...

you left.

We were both going to leave.

I just did it first.

Maybe it was just a summer romance.

Maybe.

And just like summer, it had to end at some point.

No?

Right...

Right.

[***]

Mm... nothing makes me feel more Argentinean

than eating an entire pound of Provolone.

We're truly a special culture.

Mm-hmm!

Okay.

I have a question.

Do you actually wanna keep the ranch?

Amiga, I know my answer should be a resounding yes,

but the truth is...

you and Diego went off

and had all the success in the world,

and I... I was stuck here.

I think I'm ready to see what the world has in store for me...

and, besides,

this place is too much to be run by myself.

Yeah, I can see that.

Then we should sell it...

...to Diego.

You don't want to sell it.

I finally read his business plan

and it makes sense.

It sort of felt like something I would've written.

I want this place to be in good hands--

hands that will care for it,

and if it's not ours, then...

[phone chimes]

Oh.

Oh, it's an email from Tomás.

Oh, no.

[gasps] No, no, no, no, no!

What is it?

-No! - Que pasa?

¿Qué dice?

Well...

you remember that loan that you thought just went away?

Tomás found it,

and guess whose bank owns it now?

Wh-What? How is that--?

What does it mean?

It means that he doesn't want to invest in La Rambla.

He wants to take it.

[***]

[knocking]

Hi. Um, I need your help.

[***]

[***]

What did you find out?

It's not good, guys.

I don't know how Campagnaro knew about the loan.

It was in the information packet I gave him.

I had to disclose it.

You did the right thing,

but his bank is very big and has a lot of connections.

It wasn't hard for them to find it in the assets

of another bank that had failed.

So, he can just buy it and demand that we repay it now?

I'm afraid so, yeah.

With interest and penalties-- paying it will take everything.

He'll own the ranch.

They want to incorporate it

into a resort that they're financing.

There's nothing we can do to stop him?

Well, I talked to the bank's lawyers

and threatened to tie them up in lawsuits

until we are old and gray,

but I don't know if it will do any good, to be honest.

They said they would talk to Campagnaro.

This is all my fault.

No, it's my fault.

I should've taken care of the loan years ago.

No, it's my fault.

If I didn't want to buy it, this wouldn't be happening.

Hey, hey, guys.

This is not anyone's fault, okay?

Listen.

I'm gonna make some more calls

and go over the paperwork in more detail.

Maybe there's a solution I'm not thinking of yet.

Why don't you three go relax,

enjoy the city, and we can meet back here later?

Thank you, Antonio.

What are old friends for?

I think I'll stay here

in case Antonio has any questions.

[Abril] Will you call me if anything comes up?

-I will. -Okay.

[***]

What would you like to do?

When was the last time that you were in Buenos Aires?

Not since I was a kid.

Then allow me to be your tour guide.

Okay.

Come on.

[***]

Oh, this is so good!

[laughing]

[Diego] How will you ever go back?

[Abril] Honestly, I don't know.

May I ask what happened with your job?

Oh...

it was...

I was working for this big corporation

that wanted to buy another big corporation,

and it was my job to figure out if it was a good idea

and, um, to figure out a way to make it happen.

Sounds complicated.

It was what I was good at.

I spent months researching,

trying to figure out a way to make it happen

without a lot of people losing their jobs,

and I did-- it made sense.

But?

But...

it turns out

there were a lot of backroom dealings going on

behind the scenes at my company,

and certain reports were changed before they got to me.

But if I had known...

So, they blamed you?

Yeah, I was the fall guy.

I don't know.

Maybe I was just too focused on proving myself

that I just didn't see what was really happening...

sort of like I'm doing with the ranch.

I mean, your business plan is smart.

-I should've listened to you. -I should've realized

that you had a lot more things to worry about

than what I wanted.

"I wanted to be free, and I was free."

There's obviously more to that story.

I hated my job.

I was good at it, but I hated it.

There was no soul in it.

Every day,

I was going to meeting after meeting,

making rich people richer.

One day, my father called.

He said that he was thinking of retiring.

He explained how much he loved the ranch and La Rambla,

the life of a gaucho

that he instilled in that place for so long.

It's all about soul.

Yes, soul, and I wanted more of that--

soul.

A purpose, you know?

So, the next day, I quit.

You were right.

When I was younger,

I didn't care about being a gaucho.

It's true, but now I... I do.

You take it very seriously.

I do.

It's like-- what is it that they say in your country?

"Go big or go home"?

[laughs] And you did both.

-I did both! -You did both.

I did.

[***]

Do you want to dance?

I can't dance tango.

Dance something else.

You're Argentinean. You can try.

I'm only half Argentinean.

The other half is content to watch.

Did you... dance with anyone in Boston?

Are you asking me about my romantic history?

We are in a romantic park... people dancing.

Seemed like a natural segue.

I've had a few long-term relationships.

I'm not in one right now,

which should tell you how the previous ones went.

Your choice or theirs?

Mutual, mostly.

I travel a lot for my job,

always in a different city for months at a time.

Makes it difficult to stay connected to someone.

Does it get lonely?

Yeah, occasionally.

It also makes it exponentially easier.

I don't remember you liking things easy.

Ha!

And what about you?

My romantic history?

Yeah.

I... was with someone for a couple of years

when I lived in Mexico City.

We worked together.

She wouldn't have moved to a ranch.

She loved her fancy shoes too much...

and the suits.

I don't think she would've given them up.

Well, she should,

because these boots are much more comfortable.

Do you wanna give them a rest?

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Did we ever dance together?

I'm sure we have.

Although, you were pretty busy playing that old guitar.

Do you still have it?

Yes.

I'm a bit rusty. I need to practice.

Mm, how very gauchoof you.

[chuckling]

Is it okay to say that...

I've missed you?

Only if it's okay for me to say

that I've missed you, too.

When I got to Mexico City,

I almost came back...

a dozen times.

I actually even wrote you a letter.

Did you send it ground?

Because, 15 years later, I still haven't gotten it.

I never sent it.

Why not?

I thought you wouldn't answer.

Well, for the record...

I would have.

You would?

-[phone chimes] -Oh. Oh...

Oh, um, it's Belinda.

Antonio wants us back at the office.

Okay. Yup.

Okay.

[***]

Hey.

What's going on?

Campagnaro's lawyers got back to me.

To avoid a lawsuit,

they are willing to forgive the loan.

Just like that?

If you agree to sell them the ranch,

and this is their final offer.

This is less than what I offered.

A lot less.

That's not even close to what the land is worth.

I know, and so do they,

but if you don't accept it,

they will press the issue of the loan,

and... you will get nothing.

I'm sorry, guys.

[***]

May I join you?

Andrés. Yes, of course.

Wow, you're up early.

Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

You?

Well, over the years I've been here,

I've tried to find a way

to make horses and cattle sleep till late--

[laughs]

...but they're set in their ways.

I know, they can be stubborn.

I'll have a talk with them.

I appreciate that.

So, Diego tells me you were thinking about retiring?

Diego should learn to keep his big mouth shut.

That was mine to tell you.

I apologize.

No, no, there's no need to.

It seems as though it's moot at this point anyway.

Once we sell the ranch to Campagnaro...

I'm gonna miss it here.

I was born on this ranch.

Raised my family on this ranch.

You put up with me every summer on this ranch.

When I said "family", I was including you.

I'm sorry I messed everything up.

Oh, no, this is not your fault.

And even if it was, I would forgive you--

just like I forgave you

for sinking my truck in the river.

[both laughing]

Diego was driving!

But it was your idea.

[laughs]

I was joking!

And, besides, he didn't have to listen to me.

Well, of course he did.

He would've driven that truck off a cliff,

had you asked.

I guess I was a bad influence.

Oh, no.

You were a good influence.

You always made him...

con los pies sobre la tierra.

You connected him to the ground.

I suspect that's why he's back here.

He always thought it was this place

that gave him that feeling.

And now we're losing it.

I should have trusted him.

And he should've trusted you,

but he is like the horses and the cattle--

very stubborn.

[chuckles]

Don't worry. I'll have a talk with him.

I appreciate that.

Hey...

Hey.

Are those the papers from the bank?

They are.

Did you sign them?

No.

We have until Friday at five.

I told Belinda we should wait till last minute.

You're hoping to get a brilliant idea

so you don't have to sign them?

No, I just want to hold off as long as possible,

just to be difficult.

You're good at that.

Thank you!

Are you, uh, leading a horseback ride today?

Yes, uh, we have the gaucho camping trip.

You should come.

Yes!

You must have a night in the pampas, under the stars.

I'd love to.

Good.

One thing, though, um...

I'm not going to help you set up your tent.

Why not?

Just to be difficult.

[laughs]

Got it.

All right, I'll see you later.

[***]

You're going camping with him?

With him and a dozen tourists.

Let's not make it a thing.

But I think it is a thing.

-Are you and Antonio a thing? -Oh, we're not a thing.

Well, then we're not a thing.

Okay. I need to set the table.

For yourself?

Antonio's coming over.

Oh.

He wants to review the contracts

before we sign them.

Mm-hmm!

Antonio and I are not a thing.

Neither are Diego and me.

Have fun camping.

Have fun at dinner. [laughing]

[***]

[***]

Hey, get off your phone!

[laughs]

It wasn't business, I swear.

It's just, um-- [clears throat]

I was, uh, looking at flights to Iguazu.

Oh. When are you leaving?

Well, if we sign the papers on Friday,

then sometime next week?

Oh.

Didn't your abuelo used to tell a story

about the legend of Iguazu?

-Do you remember that? -Yeah!

Well, I remember there's a story,

just not exactly what the story is.

Yeah, the legend of Iguazu Falls.

Mm-hmm.

There once was a beautiful girl, Naipí,

who lived in a village by the Iguazu River.

She was so beautiful

that a god wanted to marry her,

not realizing that she was in love

with a mortal-- Tarobá.

"A great and noble warrior."

I remember that.

Yes.

So, to escape the marriage,

Tarobá and Naipí fled in a canoe down the river.

Enraged, the god decided to slice the river in two,

separating the lovers and creating the falls,

turning Naipí into a rock

and Tarobá into a palm tree on the other side.

So they can see each other, but never touch.

Exactly.

But...

one day, a rainbow appeared...

a rainbow that's still there today,

linking rock to tree.

Bridging love for eternity.

Do I sense dissatisfaction with the myth?

Just...

why does every love story

have to be about two people who can't be together?

Well, because if they could be together...

...there would be no story.

[***]

Come.

Here.

[***]

Do you know that letter I wrote?

For what it's worth, I wish I'd sent it.

Do you think it would've changed anything?

I guess we'll never know.

Do you still have it?

I don't think so.

[***]

[Belinda] How was camping?

It was good.

That's all I get?

How was dinner with Antonio?

It was good.

Mm.

What are you working on?

Plan B.

Or C... maybe D--

I'm not sure what we're up to now.

I don't understand.

Well, the problem we have is money--

plain and simple.

Even if Diego invested,

we still don't have enough to pay off the loan

and keep the ranch afloat.

Right. So?

So...

we need another investor.

'Kay...

I have one Hail Mary--

Kevin Murphy.

We used to work together when I got fired.

He knew who was really at fault, but never came forward.

He opened his own private equity firm.

I'm hoping that he'll have mercy on us.

And what if he doesn't?

If he doesn't, then we have no choice.

We have to sell to Campagnaro.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Really.

I've been thinking about it

and maybe I can find a job as a chef in the city.

You know, work my way up.

Actually, no.

I ran the numbers

and I think you'll still be able to open your restaurant.

My half of what Campagnaro is offering

is not going to be enough.

I know.

That's why I'm giving you the whole thing.

What? No!

What-- What are you gonna live on?

Well, I'm gonna find a job-- somewhere...

and I have my savings,

and I can always sell my condo and rent again.

No. No, you can't do that.

Yes, I can.

I'd do anything for mi mejor amiga.

[chuckles]

[***]

You know what?

For this,

I cook something special for dinner tonight--

[laughs]

...every night,

for the rest of your life.

Well, I'm gonna be a few thousand miles away.

I'll ship it.

Okay.

[chuckling]

[***]

[chuckles softly]

[knock on door]

-Hey. -Hi.

Are you okay?

Yes. Yeah, everything's fine.

I just, um...

well, I came to tell you that I'm leaving.

We're signing the papers on Friday

and I'm gonna leave on Saturday.

So soon.

Yeah.

I could still... stop at Iguazu Falls,

and I need to be back in Boston on Monday,

so I can start looking for a job.

Right.

Anyway...

I just, uh, I really wanted to tell you that.

Well...

...I can't actually let you leave

without that tango you owe me.

[laughs]

Diego, I can't dance tango.

I'm a great teacher.

What, here?

Yes.

Oh! Okay.

-Okay, follow me. -Okay.

Forward with your left...

Oh-- oh.

And then you're gonna go sideways to the right...

Okay!

And then back... back.

Oh...

And together.

Very good! Once more. Come on.

Here we go.

Forward. Side.

Good. Boom, boom.

One more?

Yeah.

Now you're gonna do the same thing...

but you're gonna do it like this.

Okay.

All right.

Good.

That's really good.

Really good.

[phone rings]

I hate your phone... so much.

-I know. Me too. -[ringing]

But... I-I have to take it.

[ringing]

Hello?

Hi, Kevin. Yeah.

Make it up to me how?

What kind of job?

[gasping]

Yes! I will be in Boston

by Monday.

Thank you so much.

[gasps]

That sounded like good news?

No. No, no, no. It was great news!

That was "solve everything" news.

What do you mean?

Come.

Hey.

Hey, I'm here. Catch me up.

Well, my former co-worker, Kevin Murphy--

The one who knew

that you shouldn't have been fired?

Right.

He can't offer to invest,

but he says he feels terrible

about not coming forward back then,

that he wants to make up for it by giving me a job.

[Antonio] Congrats.

Doing what?

Business strategy--

exactly what I was doing before,

only I wouldn't be doing it as a consultant,

I'd be doing it full-time at his company.

It means I could just stay in one place for a change.

Congratulations.

You found your solid ground.

Yeah.

This is all wonderful news,

but what does it have to do with the ranch?

Well, now that I have an income,

I can use my savings,

and the money I can get for selling my condo

to pay off the loan...

then, Diego can buy us out

with what you originally offered.

But this is where I have an issue.

Your half of the sale is less

than what you'd be putting in to pay off the loan.

[Diego] I agree!

I mean, you are putting in $10 to get back five.

Yeah, but guys, this wasn't about the money--

I did it!

I figured out a way to get everyone what they wanted.

You are getting your ranch,

you're getting your restaurant,

and I'm getting my life back in Boston,

knowing that the ranch is in good hands

with Diego's dreams for it,

and not some greedy bank.

Antonio, do you think this will work?

As long as you pay off the loan,

the ranch is yours to do with as you see fit, yeah.

Abril...

are you sure you want to do this?

Yes.

I love this place,

and I love all of you--

you are my family!

Let me do this.

[***]

[***]

Antonio talked to Campagnaro's lawyers.

They blustered a bit,

but in the end,

as long as we pay off the loan,

there is nothing they can do to stop us.

Great.

He's gonna draw up the contracts

and bring them over tonight.

That's wonderful.

Well, I can tell you're excited.

No, no, I-- I am. I am excited.

You're gonna get the restaurant, Diego gets the ranch,

and I'm gonna go back home, and start a new job.

I think... everybody's gonna get what they wanted.

Is it what everyone wanted?

Yes.

Then we should celebrate.

We'll have an asado!

[***]

[***]

[applauding and cheering]

[cheering]

Are you watching the chorizo?

Yes, on it!

You know, this is exactly

the kind of restaurant you should open--

a modern take on asado.

I only have two requests--

one, that you open the restaurant

within walking distance of my office,

so I can have lunch there every single day.

[chuckling]

I'll do my best.

What's the second?

That once you get settled,

you let me take you out on a date.

Yes.

Definitely, yes.

Yes!

Se quema el chorizo!

You were supposed to be on the chorizo!

I am. I just got distracted.

No quemes el chorizo.

[diners cheering and applauding]

[***]

-[glasses clinking] -[contented chatter]

* Y ya no te demores compañero *

* Que en el tren de la vida... *

* Sólo somos pasajeros *

-Yeah! -Ah!

Abril.

I thought you said you didn't remember any Spanish,

and you sang all the words.

Oh! Well, that's different.

We used to sing that all the time by the campfire

when we were kids.

You know, we just need to turn every conversation into a song.

Oh, no, no. We all heard Andrés singing.

Oh, we always sing together, honey.

I know.

So, Diego, now that you own the ranch,

why don't you tell us all your grand plans for it?

I don't know about grand...

but the first thing I want to do is expand the ranch house,

so we can host overnight guests.

Oh, well, that'll be great for the sunrise trail rides.

Yeah.

[strumming intro to "Luna Tucumana"]

[Feli] I love this song.

Do you remember? We used to sing it by the river.

* Yo no le canto a la luna *

* Porque alumbra y nada mas *

* Le canto porque ella sabe *

* De mi largo caminar *

* Le canto porque ella sabe *

* De mi largo caminar *

[all] * Ay lunita tucumana *

* Tamborcito calchaquí *

* Compañera de los gauchos *

* En la scena de Tafí *

* Compañera de los gauchos *

* En la scena de Tafí *

* Perdida en las cerrazones *

* Quien sabe vidita *

* Por donde andaré *

* Mas, cuando salga la luna... *

Hey.

Hi.

Anything wrong?

No. No, no.

It's just, um, it's... it's been a long day.

Was it my singing?

No! No, I loved it.

I loved all of it.

This is, um...

this is my "solid ground."

My family.

What are you saying?

I-I don't know if I want to let go of this place.

You don't want to sell it?

What if...

you can still buy out Belinda,

but then... you and I could be partners?

I know that I don't know much about the gauchoexperience,

but I know a lot about business,

and-and I think that... we could be a good team.

You want to stay?

Well, not full-time.

I-I-- the job back home will keep me very busy,

but I can still provide value.

I can-- I can help with business plans,

and figure out ways to save money,

and maximize synergies and--

From back in Boston?

Yeah.

I mean, I would come visit.

I can even work remotely.

It's only an hour difference, and...

I can spend summers here.

What do you think?

[sighs heavily]

No...

No.

I'm sorry, Abril.

I don't want a partner...

and...

I'd rather do it myself.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, of course.

I-I understand.

It was just an idea.

It probably would not have worked, anyway.

I will sign the papers in the morning,

and then head to the airport.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Um...

come.

Yeah. Yeah. I-- I'll be right there.

Okay.

[***]

[sighing]

[sniffling]

[sighs and gulps]

[***]

[***]

Okay, I think I'm ready to--

What did you do?

I made some snacks for the plane ride home.

Galletas alfajores,

arollado, y churros con leche--

and the flan is in the oven.

[laughs]

Bell, I only have the one suitcase.

You can borrow one of mine.

Bell...

you are kind and generous,

and more than a little loca.

And I love you.

Stop, you're gonna make me cry.

Yes, no. You're right! You're right.

No crying.

[chuckles]

In the business strategy world,

we call this a net-positive outcome.

Take the win.

Okay.

But you will come back to visit?

Yes, I will.

I'll even bring toaster pastries.

[chuckles]

I should go.

Okay. I'll go get that suitcase.

Bell, no! I-I can't take another suitcase.

At least a carry-on.

Yeah!

[chuckles]

[***]

Gracias.

Hi.

Hey.

I'm finally going to the airport.

Yeah, I can see that.

I signed the papers.

I, uh, Antonio's coming by to pick them up a little later.

Okay. Thank you.

So will you be going to Iguazu Falls on your way?

I am, yeah.

Well, send pictures.

I will.

And thank you... for everything.

No, thank you.

Thank you, um...

uh, sometimes,

there are no English words that I could use.

-Um-- -Then say it in Spanish.

[Belinda] Okay, you're all set!

Although, I'm not sure

you'll be able to get the flan through the airport security.

It'll be fine. I'll just share some.

I'll take it.

Come here.

Mm!

Please tell Antonio I say goodbye.

Of course.

You're still here.

We thought we'd missed you.

-No, just in time. -Ohh.

[***]

-Don't be a stranger. -I won't.

[***]

[thud]

Okay.

Goodbye... Abril.

Adios, Diego.

[***]

[smooch]

Have a good trip.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[car engine starts]

[***]

[***]

[waterfalls thundering]

[***]

[***]

Taking in the sights?

Yeah.

I was gonna come here many years ago,

but it didn't work out.

What stopped you?

I didn't wanna come by myself.

Oh... and, uh...

...I wanted to deliver this in person, finally.

Before you open it...

it's in Spanish.

Well, then I guess you'll have to translate.

Querida Abril--

come home.

That's a long letter to say just that.

I paraphrased.

You're the one that left.

I wanted to stay.

I didn't think you would.

Every time you left...

it broke my heart...

...and I was young,

I was too proud,

too scared to tell you how I really felt,

but now...

I'm not gonna make that mistake again.

Come home.

I thought you didn't want a partner?

I thought I had to do it alone to be strong,

but I realized that...

I know that I would be stronger

if we would be doing it together.

And, you know,

not every love story

has to be about two people who can't be together.

Some stories are about us.

I love you.

And I have loved you since the day we met.

[***]

[***]

[***]

[***]

Come on, gaucho.

We have a sunrise trail to lead.

We have. Let's go.

Let's go.
