I need to speak to my father.

-We have orders. -No, I don't care about your orders.

We've been in this car for hours,

and we still have no idea where we're going.

My kids, they're cold.

They're hungry. I… I need to speak to my father.

Right now.

GAS

We can stop there.

Just…

I said stop the car!

I don't want to turn them into some kind of fugitives.

If we go to a judge, if we do this legally,

I'm sure they'll grant me full custody of the children.

She was the one who committed adultery, right?

FUEL

Why should we make the kids spend their lives in hiding?

You've never been happy in Mexico, Leo, or in your marriage, for that matter.

This is the perfect opportunity for you to finally do something with your life.

So is that what you think of me?

That I've done nothing with my life until now. That…

That I can just leave and not look back? Like it doesn't matter?

Listen to me carefully, Leo.

I know how hard it's going to be for you, but I also know how brave you are, my son.

Everything has already been arranged.

You'll be in Italy before dawn.

If we keep running like this, you'll never see us again either.

For a while, no.

But we're willing to accept that.

Isaac…

It was Mommy.

I think so too.

I saw her, and I heard her voice.

I wonder all the time what they're thinking.

What does Leo say when they ask about me?

I wonder if they're playing.

If they're having any fun at all. If they're crying.

Tamara has nightmares when she sleeps. All the time.

She can only sleep when I'm beside her.

I wonder if she can hear me.

Who?

Tammy.

Tammy and I play this game called Telepathy.

We're able to hear each other, no matter how far away we are.

I wonder if Isaac knows that it's his eighth birthday in 11 days.

He wanted a telescope.

I thought if we took the route from Stuttgart to Karlsruhe

it would be faster and we could save time. However…

I wonder if they're feeling well, if they're eating,

if they're warm enough.

Isaac can barely make himself a bowl of cereal.

Do you agree?

With what?

That we should go through Austria.

Yes.

Yeah, sure.

I wonder if they know I've been trying to find them.

That I won't stop looking for them.

Thank you.

When a case goes cold, this is what starts to happen.

Unfortunately, we come across false leads and dead ends.

This is where I need to proceed on my own.

I can go a lot faster.

I'm afraid if we lose the children now,

it could be a long time before we pick up their trail and find them again.

He needs to do this alone, doesn't he?

Yes.

I can't stand the thought of leaving them here on the other side of the ocean.

If Samuel sees you in Mexico, he'll let his guard down.

That might help Elías with the search.

NO ONE SAW US LEAVE

ITALY, 1964

Dad, I'm cold.

I'm cold and I don't like being in this place.

-I wanna go back home! -Move around and you'll get warm. Hey!

Isaac.

Isaac, be careful. You could hit your sister.

-I want to go back home too, Daddy. -Isaac. No. Don't pick up rocks.

-Isaac! -I want to go back to Mexico!

-Isaac, Tam-- -Isaac, wait! Don't leave without me!

Isaac!

Isaac!

You can't leave without me.

Come on. Kids, listen.

We can't go to Mexico.

Why not?

Because your mom isn't well enough.

What's wrong with our mommy?

Did you hear how she screamed?

It's better if you stay here with me for now.

Will she get well?

Yes. Let's go.

Isaac, wait for us.

For your children.

I told them you were working in the United States.

And I told your colleagues you were visiting cardiology hospitals

before the opening of the one here.

So, you're willing to throw everything you have away over an affair.

Are you really that stupid?

I have to go, sweetie.

If you need anything at all, just call me.

I asked Silvia to prepare the guest room for you.

My children are doing their homework. Don't bother them, please, Carlos.

-Hello, Rosa. -Hello.

The master is waiting for you in the reading room. You two come with me.

I'll show you the secret part of the castle. Come on, let's go!

Leo.

Look what has just arrived.

I think this calls for a glass of Monfortino Barolo from 1943.

We must celebrate.

-May I? -Mm-hm.

This masterpiece took five months to complete.

Hello?

Yes, thank you.

It's Mexico.

Hello.

Galya. Huh.

What a surprise.

Yes, here he is.

Take care, now.

Thanks.

Hi, Mom.

Sweetheart.

No, I'm not hungry.

You've lost so much weight.

I had a phone call from Galya this morning.

She would like to meet with us.

I told her I didn't think you were up to seeing her yet.

Of course I will. I can see her today.

Listen to me, honey.

Samuel has been going around telling everyone that you are mentally unstable

and that you could be a danger to your children.

When we finally go to court, that could be held against you.

But, I'm not sick, Mom.

And I'm not going to hide either.

Mom, Gabriela's here. Why didn't you tell me?

You wouldn't have come if I'd said anything.

-Ana. -Galya.

Valeria.

Why did you want to meet me?

Everyone knows that you're separated.

No. Everyone thinks that you're taking some time apart from each other.

But nobody quite understands how come Leo left alone, taking the children with him.

Oh, because I'm crazy and dangerous. Right?

I'm sorry that they're saying that about you, Valeria.

But…

…Samuel feels betrayed, and I'm afraid he's not going to back down.

Where are my children, Galya?

You knew, didn't you?

The day they took them away, at Tamara's birthday party,

while you stood there singing "Happy Birthday" and smiling.

You knew perfectly well.

-Where the fuck are my children?! -Shh! Quiet down.

Valeria, please don't.

Le… Leo called me.

He said he is willing to come back home.

That he can be here in less than two days, but

you are not to see Carlos again.

Both marriages must stay intact, as they were meant to be.

Did you know this was what they were going to ask?

Take it.

Mom.

Did you know that my father says

the only reason I like art and architecture is because I'm rich?

Yeah, he says if I didn't have money, I'd be… a better… businessman,

better… husband.

Certainly a better father.

Probably a better businessman, but not a better father.

The proposition Galya came up with, you've thought about it?

You're going to accept it?

I didn't want things to work out this way.

You know, ever since I was a child, I imagined living my life far away from…

…everything.

I should have never married Valeria.

Doesn't matter if she was rich or poor.

Maybe by sending you away, your father has opened a door for you.

One you never dared open.

Oh, that life away that you imagined as a child.

They say that in order to know the island you're on,

well, first you have to leave it.

For now, we need more wine.

AURORA CLINIC

We need to talk.

Let's go.

That's the deal they're offering us.

That we stop seeing each other for the time being.

Until the children grow up.

I don't know how to do this without you.

Valeria, I'll wait for you forever.

You're very strong. You can do this.

Don't give up.

I love you.

I love you.

Mr. Goldberg, I've already explained this to you.

The kidnapping of minors by their parents is not legislated.

But you told me what you needed was proof.

Well, here it is. Those photos are of my grandchildren.

They were given to me by the children's paternal grandmother.

You will have to fill out this form.

What? I've already filled one out.

That's all I've been doing for weeks, filling out forms.

I'm sent from one desk to another.

And they've explained to you that Interpol only works with information

provided by the police, not by the general public.

I'm not just the general public though.

I'm a grandfather

whose grandchildren were taken away.

Also, a father,

whose daughter is dying little by little, and there's nothing we can do for her.

An agent will see you.

Daddy! Daddy!

What is it, sweetie?

They pushed me. They pushed me hard.

-Who were they? -The monsters.

The monsters don't exist, Tammy.

Stay with me. Don't go.

Stay.

Okay. All right.

Turn off the light, Isaac. Time to go to sleep.

All right.

Mm.

Ah, yes, you're sleepy, aren't you?

Mm.

It's okay.

STUDENT'S NAME, GROUP

Marisa.

MARCHEL HAIR SALON

I'd like to speak to Leo before I make any decisions.

Wait for me outside, hm?

What do you want to say that couldn't be said over the telephone?

I was recently informed that you pay a visit to the Interpol office

on a daily basis.

Do you know what it would mean if the public got wind of it?

So, as well as kidnapping my grandchildren,

you are also having me followed?

How many more crimes do you plan to commit?

-Apart from destroying my daughter's life. -No, no, no.

-She destroyed it herself. -No!

She may have made a mistake, but she doesn't deserve this.

Neither do our grandchildren.

How can you play with their lives as if they were merely chess pieces?

You just want to cause her pain.

You and I are like brothers.

We know exactly where we come from.

Precisely right, Moishe.

Let's you and I call a truce until the hospital officially opens.

It's in just a few days.

This project is the most important our community has seen in decades.

It'll give us the respect we deserve in this country.

Until my grandchildren are back with their mother…

you are dead to me.

My attorneys will be in contact.

We'll cancel the contract for all of this.

I'll buy the steel from another company.

You'll have to pay the penalty then.

Money is not an issue.

Leo, uh, Valeria is here.

She wants to talk to you, but listen to me.

She thinks it was your idea. Talk to her, please, son.

Valeria.

Leo.

Leo, Isaac turns eight on Friday.

He's been talking about it all month.

Is he all right? Are they both okay?

Yes.

Yes, they are. They're both fine.

Leo, is it true?

That you're willing to come back to Mexico?

I don't want the kids to be away from you.

I don't…

They miss you.

They ask about you… every single day.

Why did you do this?

Are you seriously asking me that?

Leo what I did doesn't even come close to kidnapping my children.

Our children.

Valeria, they are our children.

You know very well what you did.

I just removed them from a harmful, toxic environment.

That's not you.

You would never have done this.

You just said, you didn't want the kids to be away from me.

-You did it because your father made you. -Why?

You don't think I'm capable of making my own decisions? You think I'm an idiot?

-I never said you were. -But that's what you believe, right?

No, my father didn't make me do anything.

He only helped me to do what I had to do, that's all.

And just so you know, I didn't suggest anything either.

What do you mean?

My mom talked to me,

and asked if I was willing to take the children back to Mexico

if you stayed with me and stopped seeing Carlos.

But I don't know anymore.

Wait, you just said you didn't want the kids to be away from me.

You know what? I would rather run away to the ends of the earth

for the rest of my life and never let you see the children again

than have them live with their uncle as a step-father!

-How can you be so selfish? -Dad! Dad!

Tamara won't give me back the toy Rosa gave to me.

-Isaac, come, your father is on the phone. -Isaac.

-I can give you another toy. -Let me talk to him.

-Let's get some gelato. -Leo?

Let me talk to him.

Isaac!

Isaac!

Damn you! I can't believe you can be so cruel!

-Think of your children! -What the hell do you think I'm doing?!

Listen to me. I don't care if you and I are over,

but if you ever want to see your children again--

You listen to me, asshole!

I'm gonna find you. You're the one who's never gonna see them again!

You can tell your husband to go to hell, and you can join him!

How are you doing?

I can't stop staring at him. He's beautiful.

This baby's going to keep you up all night.

The nurse told me he weighed almost seven pounds.

Are they here?

Yes.

Samuel wanted to come in, but I told him to give you some time.

Come on, smile!

Lucrecia.

-Everything went well. -Yeah.

-Yes! -There he is!

-How is my little grandson? -How are you?

Isaac is doing very well.

-Valeria's really tired though. -Yes!

-Congratulations! -Congratulations, Daddy!

The women will go in first.

Today is the most important day of your life, son.

-Yes. -Huh?

Today your legacy begins. Congratulations!

Thanks.

She was in labor for over 20 hours with him.

-20? -Yeah, 20.

-I've never heard her scream like that. -Incredible.

-Coffee? -No.

A whiskey'd be better.

I'll bring some, I've got contacts.

Hey. It wouldn't by chance be the contacts in the hospital we need, would it?

-I told you, it's not that easy. -But it can't be that complicated either?

-What's happening? -Nothing.

We should have started the soil treatments on the project,

but Carlos hasn't secured the permits yet,

and the bank has already authorized the second phase of the financing.

-I'm doing what I can. -Can we talk about something else?

Like maybe about the birth of my newborn son, for example.

-Yes! -Great idea! Do it for his newborn child,

who is my grandson and your nephew.

Also do it for your kids who are also my grandchildren.

Right now, I'm talking to my brother-in-law, your son.

And I also happen to be on call.

-I'll get that whiskey. -Thanks.

SEARCH REQUEST

NAME: ELÍAS ABENDANA

Are you sure you heard right?

Yes, they're in Italy.

Samuel studied engineering in Italy before he got married to Galya.

I'll find out where he lived and which Jewish friends he studied with.

There's something you need to know.

Interpol in Paris has issued an arrest warrant for Leo.

We know they're in Italy, so it'll be hard for them to leave the country.

Valeria.

If they get them,

Leo will probably end up going to jail.

If Leo goes to jail, it'll be his fault,

not mine.

Happy birthday, dear Isaac

Happy birthday to you!

That's it. Do you want to open your presents now?

Yes, sure you do, yeah.

-Isaac, The chess set is a gift from me. -I bought you the ball.

And this one is from me.

This way we'll be all set for any kind of adventure we go on.

You like it?

Where's the telescope, Dad?

Isaac wanted a telescope.

Mom promised him she'd buy him the best telescope in the whole wide world

for his birthday.

Oh, right, the telescope. I forgot to tell you.

It's coming, but it probably got stuck in customs or something.

It'll get here. Let's see.

Happy birthday to you

Isaac.

Happy birthday, honey.

I'm gonna catch you!

-I win! -No! Stop, stop!

Who's a naughty boy?

-Know what time it is? -What?

-It's time for your bath. -No, thanks.

Yes, because your guests are gonna be here soon,

and this birthday boy is a little too dirty.

When I'm an astronaut and go to Neptune, will you come visit me?

Why Neptune?

Why not somewhere a little closer, like the Moon?

Because it's gray.

But it shines so bright at night.

That doesn't matter.

-Hello, Angelina. -Good morning.

Uncle!

Hey! hey!

-Is it my present? -Of course.

Am I the first one here?

Yes, his dad's not here yet.

-This boy doesn't want to have his bath. -I'll take one if you help me.

Then let's get going! A special bathroom mission!

-Come on! -To Neptune!

A bath on Neptune!

Ready for blast off! Let's go!

-Why can't a girl -Why can't a girl

-Be satisfied -Be satisfied

Your whole family's waiting at the house, Leo.

That's why I'm here.

If we leave now, you'll make it in time to sing "Happy Birthday" to your son.

Could you bring us some coffee?

I don't know what I'm doing.

Quit punishing yourself, Leo.

Come on.

Are you sure you want to tell her?

She's not a child anymore.

-What happened? I came as fast as I could. -They know where they are.

Interpol is on the way there. They'll be with them any minute now.

What do we do?

Elías insists we go to the opening of the hospital.

The best way to go about things tonight is to let Samuel see

the three of you together at this event.

That way he won't suspect anything.

There's really nothing we can do now but wait.

Interpol will get in touch with me when they have more news.

-Mom, finally. -Oh, honey.

Can I borrow those?

I know Dad has been telling us lies, Tamara.

Mom isn't going to come here.

Do you want to see her again?

Then, we've got to go and find her.

Come on.

-Are you sure it's the right way? -Yes.

Thank you.

How are you?

They're here.

She came too.

Honey, before this dinner is over,

Interpol will have your children in their custody.

And then we will go to Italy to get them with your mother, I promise you that.

It will all be over soon.

Hello.

What?

Okay.

Interpol. They're on their way.

I'll go get the kids.

Tamara, Isaac.

Where are the children?

-Oh, I don't know. -Look for them.

-We have to leave, now! Go! -Yes!

Children! Children!

Enzo, the kids are outside.

They're in the woods.

-Go that way. I'll go this way. -Yeah.

Tamara!

I'm scared.

Nothing's gonna happen to us.

I've got everything in my bag.

All we have to do is get to the road.

Then, we can ask someone to drive us to the airport.

Before you know it, we'll be with Mom. Let's go, Tammy.

Come on.

I would like to give our heartfelt thanks to our mayor Mr. Alfonso Alemán.

And now we'd like to hear a few words from our dear friend

Mr. Samuel Saltzman

of Saltzman and Associates Construction.

-Thank you. -Thanks.

Good evening, everyone.

Welcome. We are so glad to have you all here.

First of all, I would like to thank the mayor of this great city,

Mr. Alemán, for his trust in us.

Without his support, this huge project would not have been made possible.

I would also like to thank the Mercantile Bank,

whose support was fundamental in building this hospital.

Isaac!

Isaac!

Isaac!

Tamara!

What the hell are you doing?

Huh? Isaac, come here!

We want to go back to our house.

And Mommy.

-Let's go, Tammy. -Hey, hey, hey! No! No! No!

Let go of me! I hate you!

Let me go!

I understand how you feel.

I've made some mistakes.

I know that, okay?

But everything I'm doing is for you.

All of it.

I know you want to see your mother.

-But we can't do that right now. -Why not?

Mommy did something really bad.

-Mom doesn't love us anymore? -No, she loves you, honey.

Mom loves you both, so much.

But right now, I need you to just trust me.

We need to leave now.

-How come? -Because, Isaac!

Because! Because we're in danger, and all you've got is me.

Understand?

-Answer me! -Yes.

-Isaac. -Yes.

Come on, let's go.

Tamara, hurry up!

What's going on, Daddy? Where are we going?

-Come on, hurry. -Come on, kids.

-What's happening? -Get in the car. Let's go.

That's it, children.

Don't worry, Leo. I know a way to get you out of here.

-Stay calm. Okay? Now, let's go. Come on! -Yes.

Your passports.

Thanks.

Today, November 23rd, 1964,

we are marking a milestone in medical care

for this beautiful city of ours.

This hospital will be prestigious,

thanks to a group of outstanding doctors, cardiologists,

and other medical personnel.

That is why the board of directors and I have decided

to offer the position of director of this medical facility

to a doctor who I have greatly admired

and who is an asset to our community.

Abraham Kogan.

-Your father left specific instructions. -No.

I know where to go.

There's nobody in the crowd

That could crack another bone

In my tired, beaten body

There's no letter of the law

Or no error of my own

That could make it any harder

Oh, storm off

And there is no water cold enough

And there is no storm strong enough

To scare me

And there are no stones sharp enough

And there are no crags steep enough To tame me

And there is no water cold enough

And there is no storm strong enough

To scare me

And there are no stones sharp enough

And there are no crags steep enough To tame me
