Darling.

What do you mean she's OK? She doesn't react or speak.

Mr. President,

your daughter doesn't have any physical symptoms.

Don't get me wrong, she is able to speak.

If she's not doing so

it's due to a psychological or emotional reason.

In view of her mutism, I'd recommend

psychiatric evaluation and treatment,

to find the cause of the event that brought her here.

Yes, Marina is OK.

To the hotel.

Hang on...

wait a moment.

- Thank you very much. - OK.

I was speaking with the Chileans. They know someone who can help.

- Who? - Apparently he's good.

He has treated Scherson's husband for 10 years.

Can he come right now?

He's on his way. She's being splendid.

Great. Thank her.

- Good evening, Doctor. - Good evening.

Thank you for coming all this way. Sorry for the urgency.

Don't worry, I know how these things are.

Did they explain the situation?

Twice, in great detail, but you can tell me your version.

Come with me, please.

Is it the first time this has happened to her?

We're on our way up.

Marina had a few disorders.

What do you mean by disorders?

Let's say...

she had a difficult time as a teenager.

A few episodes of confusion.

But she recovered and hasn't had any problems lately.

In the last month?

Let's say in the last 10 years...

roughly speaking.

Is that enough?

- Good evening, Doctor. - Good evening.

- Thank you for coming. - Thank you for trusting in me.

Here are the analyses. As I said, everything's normal.

Nothing in the blood, nor any neurological damage, but do take a look.

I'd like to see her first.

She knows I'm here?

Yes, of course, I told her.

- Where is she? - In the bedroom next door.

- Come with us, please. - Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I need to be alone with her.

That won't be possible, Doctor.

I understand.

I'm Doctor Garcia, I'm here to help you.

I need to know if you can hear me.

I'm going to snap my fingers, gently.

Tell me with your eyes if you can hear me.

Thank you.

I fully agree with what the doctors say.

Marina is lucid and knows exactly what's going on.

But she's not speaking.

Would you prefer that we talk alone?

No, this is fine.

Are you familiar with strategic therapy?

Not at all.

It's not a theory or an approach.

It's when various therapies are used, with the same aim.

Her silence is clearly a symptom

of distress.

I need to get her talking again to discover why she's in this state.

What do you suggest?

Hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis.

Therapeutic hypnosis.

I know it's a little old fashioned,

but it has very good results.

You want to hypnotize my daughter.

If you agree.

And if Marina agrees too.

It's the only way to get her out of this state.

Hello, Marina.

If you agree, we'll start hypnotherapy treatment.

OK?

First, I need to examine your eyes.

To check that your pupils are contracting.

If the light bothers you,

shut your eyes and we'll stop.

Good.

Very good.

Now, I need you

to look into my eyes.

Don't ever take your eyes off mine.

I'm going to sit down.

But don't stop looking at me.

Very good.

That's right.

Very good.

I'm going to take out this pendulum.

Concentrate...

on my eyes, don't let anything distract you.

Your shoulders will feel heavy...

Your arms will feel heavy...

It's normal.

Very good.

I'm moving in closer to your eyes.

Very good.

Alright, Marina.

We will now go into a trance.

On the count of three...

two,

one.

Now.

Will you tell me what you're feeling?

I understand.

You need more time.

Are you cold?

Shall I cover you?

I can't see anything.

It's dark.

I want to open the window.

You can do what you want.

You can say what you want.

I'm going to open the window, I want to see.

Where are you?

In my bedroom.

At my grandfather's house.

I want to see Peach.

Who is Peach?

My horse.

- A horse? - Yes.

Why do you want to see him?

He was given to me a month ago.

Who gave him to you?

I don't know.

Think, Marina.

Who gave him to you?

My dad.

Where is this horse?

In the corral.

Go to the corral,

and tell me when you get there.

I'm there.

Is the horse there?

No.

Someone left the gate open.

Be careful!

What's happening?

He's going to be run over.

A truck might run him over.

Did the truck run him over?

No.

He crossed over.

He managed to cross over.

That's a relief.

Yes, it is.

Where is the horse now?

At Arturo's place.

Who is Arturo?

Arturo is a neighbor.

He works with my dad.

I never saw him again.

The horse?

Yes, I never saw him.

And Arturo?

I never saw him again either.

It all caught fire.

What happened?

Enough.

You don't want to carry on?

I don't know.

Do you want us to take a break?

Yes.

Are you tired?

A little.

Are you sad?

Very sad.

We'll stop.

- My head hurts a little. - That's normal.

I think I need to sleep.

Sleep.

She'll probably sleep for a long time,

she was very tired.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

Excuse me.

I'll need to see her again before you leave.

Something was left unresolved. A second session would do her good.

I'll come back tomorrow evening.

Doctor...

that never happened.

Everything she just said

isn't true.

It never happened.

When her grandfather died,

we stopped going to that house.

She never had a horse.

That never happened.

Don't worry, Mr. President.

Everything a patient says in a hypnotic state

might not be true,

might not be a memory.

Doctor, you don't understand me.

She spoke of the house, the corral, Arturo.

That did all exist.

But she was never there.

Because she wasn't born yet.

How do you feel?

Good.

Do you remember anything?

No.

Nothing.

Being confined

doesn't make us free, comrades.

I don't understand why, when we have the opportunity

to form an alliance with a bigger, more diverse market,

a market that will favor trade

with the whole world,

we close the door on them.

In the name of what nationalism?

Who wins and who loses in this adventure?

Are we so sure we'll all win?

Are we so sure, President Oliveira Prete?

We must acknowledge, that our countries, our region...

Hernán,

we must leave.

We must get up and leave, now.

Please.

It is not through declarations of principles

that we will change the terrible economical inequality

suffered by all countries of our region.

It is through steady economic development...

Sir,

do you need anything?

Did you hear me?

I'd like to drive. Go to the other car.

I can't do that, Mr. President.

Yes you can.

Trust me.

Alright.

Is there a problem, sir?

- Don't worry. I'm going to drive. - As you wish.

Come.

Come sit up front.

How long since you last drove?

A long time.

Since you became president or before?

Since becoming president, surely.

I drove in Santa Rosa.

Yes.

You liked being on the road.

I like it.

Do you still drive?

Very little.

I prefer not to, I don't like driving as you know.

Of course.

But you have the car, don't you?

- Yours? - Yes.

Yes, of course, but I don't use it.

Because?

Because it's embarrassing, Dad, everyone knows it.

It's Blanco's white car.

"Blanco's white car."

"The color of victory is Blanco!"

"With Blanco, there's no black market!"

"He's not in the red, vote Blanco!"

OK.

"No blank votes, only Blanco votes!"

The one I liked best was...

"Argentina, pale blue and Blanco!"

They really went for it!

Like you, a man like you...

Don't torture me with that.

He wants the best

Like you, a man like you

A new dawn

Like you

A man like you!

I don't have time.

- No time for a girlfriend. - Correct.

How long since you've been with someone?

- What? - Sexually.

- Go on, tell me. - No, it's none of your business.

- Yes it is, I'm your daughter. - Exactly.

What a fraud.

And you?

- I'm not telling you. - See? You don't dare either.

- If you do, I will. - No.

Go on, if you do, I will.

No way.

We could say how long but not who with.

It's no big deal.

Just say how long, that's all.

Go on, tell me.

Yesterday.

You're lying.

Who with?

It's your turn.

When?

I'm waiting.

One week ago.

One week?

Yes, you think that's a lot or a little?

That depends. With whom?

No, don't bother asking.

- Tell me who, right now. - No, you're breaking the pact.

I'm the president.

I won't tell you.

Every now and again I see him, too.

- Camaño? - Yes.

It's difficult, with the boys and all...

- This conversation is ridiculous. - I agree.

I don't think you should see Camaño.

He's a dangerous guy.

No, Dad.

Esteban is a country guy.

Now, his father-in-law is president and he feels like an idiot.

And he feels abandoned,

that he no longer has your trust.

Sharing your secrets was important for him.

I think that's all it is.

He was always the same.

I've known him since I was 15.

What?

I've known him since I was 15 years old.

He's always been the same.

He liked going out with his rugby pals, being the leader,

who'd seduced the mayor's daughter.

Marina.

What?

You met Camaño in La Plata. He's from La Plata.

What?

You became his girlfriend

when you studied in La Plata. He played rugby there.

He came to Santa Rosa when you graduated.

Dad, you're scaring me.

I didn't study in La Plata.

I don't even know La Plata.

Do you remember the house?

The Orange Trees?

Yes, of course.

- Did you ever go there? - Many times.

What else do you remember?

I remember the house, the orange trees,

the horse.

The horse?

Mum gave it to me.

No, you did.

It was in the corral, I liked to look after it.

But I couldn't ride it, it was very big.

I remember the day it escaped.

Mum was already ill.

I went out to find it and got lost.

A neighbor had it.

Arturo.

He never gave it back.

He was quite a good pal of yours.

He worked with you at City Hall, you did business together.

He had a son my age.

Arturo Valbuena,

worked with me at City Hall,

a long time before you were born.

I never saw them again, they left, I don't know why.

Where do you hear all this? Who are you talking to?

- You set his house on fire. - I didn't set anyone's house on fire.

Yes, you set it on fire.

I didn't set any house on fire.

I remember it all, Dad.

Enough!

Enough.

- Go in. - Thank you very much.

I'll leave you alone.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, Doctor.

Good afternoon, Mr. President.

It's not a good idea for you to see her today.

How is she feeling? How is she?

Take a seat, please.

Thank you.

More strange things have happened.

False memories.

As if she were inventing a life she didn't have.

It's common, after hypnosis,

for these "strange" things you mention to appear.

Reality is no longer a safe and stable place.

The subconscious, to avoid suffering,

to heal old wounds,

can create dialogues about a different reality,

otherwise known as fiction.

But these things didn't happen to her.

They are things I never told her.

With all due respect, Mr. President,

how can you be so sure?

I'm sure.

Absolutely sure.

Then what are you worried about?

My daughter's health, Doctor.

If you'll let me hypnotize her more deeply, one more time,

I can confirm, with certainty, the origin of these memories.

But, this would of course mean...

that I get involved with your secrets.

No.

I told you I don't want you to see her.

Is she better than yesterday?

Yes, she's better.

I think that's enough, don't you?

It is.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

I trust you'll be discreet.

Absolutely, don't worry.

It's unbearably hot in this hotel!

They're sending someone.

- What are you talking about? - The Yankees.

Washington D. C. are sending a guy over.

Here, to the summit?

No, to Santiago.

What do they want?

To negotiate.

Are you sure the Mexican didn't tell you anything?

To negotiate what, and with whom?

That's what's interesting.

They want to speak with you.

As far as I know, they're not meeting anyone else,

but they want to force matters, to join at any cost.

The Mexicans are with them.

They can have Peru and Venezuela in a flash.

But it's you they want.

- As a playoff. - Of course.

What if Brazil finds out?

If Brazil finds out...

They'll be scared.

Very.

- And they'll want to negotiate. - Exactly.

Set it up.

Set up this meeting.

Mr. President,

do you believe in evil?

What kind of a question is that?

It's a question.

Do you believe that good and bad exist?

If I didn't believe in good and bad, could I be involved in politics?

I don't know.

For almost 15 years, I've been trying to understand

how politicians determine our fates from their position of power.

It's the first time I ask this question, because I realized

that in most cases,

politicians have a concept of good and bad

that is different from that of other citizens.

It's as if...

as if they could manipulate them.

As if their duty weren't to choose between them,

but instead...

to employ them in the most useful way.

It's the first time I've been asked this.

And how would you answer?

Evil exists, miss Klein.

And one doesn't become president without having seen it,

a couple of times, at least.

And not just in others.

I'm going to tell you something.

Once, when I was 4 or 5 years old,

I had a dream.

I saw a kind of red fox, with horns,

and he attacked me.

I woke up very scared, crying.

I ran to tell my grandfather.

My grandfather used to tell me stories about ghosts and monsters,

that kind of thing.

They scared me.

Although, deep down, I knew they were lies, I liked to believe.

But, when I told him my dream,

my grandfather told me that the fox I had seen

was the devil.

"The what?", I said.

"The devil."

It was the first time I had heard that word.

I said: "What is the devil?"

He said: "A very bad man, who lives in hell."

"Where?"

"In hell", he said.

He they way he spoke was different

from when he told me his stories.

He told me not to tell anyone.

He said: "It must be a secret."

I felt so scared.

This wasn't one of my grandfather's stories, this was...

real.

It was hell...

and it was right there.

For over one year,

each time

I went to bed at night,

I feared that if I went to sleep, the fox would come back...

and attack me again.

And did he come back?

A few times.

Mr. President, it's an honor to meet you.

I'm Derek McKinley, civil servant at the U. S. Department of State.

Take a seat, please.

Hello.

Thank you.

First of all,

I apologize, on behalf of myself and the President...

Sorry.

Five.

Well?

It's what we thought. They want to join.

How?

With their companies.

They're offering us priority in the oil prospecting.

They want to join, at any cost.

Anything else?

Nothing else.

Hello, Mr. Wagner.

Yes, I can hear you perfectly.

The president had a meeting outside the summit.

It wasn't on the schedule.

Excuse me, can we stop for a minute?

Stop here, please.

I'm losing the signal.

Goddammit!

It worked.

What did?

The Brazilians.

They want to meet now.

Oliveira?

No, without Oliveira, but it's the same thing.

Congratulations.

I think I can negotiate

the permanent headquarters of the Alliance,

the first 4 years of presidency, and part of the initial oil prospecting.

Let's wait a little.

No, sorry, we can't wait.

We wait a little, Gallego.

What's going on, Hernán?

Cancel the meeting.

Cancel it.

Now.

I'll go on alone.

- Has something happened? - Yes.

- Bad news? - Yes.

Camaño is in intensive care.

They think he had a stroke. He fainted in the street.

A clot in the left carotid artery.

All of his brain tissue is damaged.

- Does Marina know? - Yes.

She's in a state, doesn't want to talk to anyone.

She wanted to go straight to the airport.

I did what I could to stop her.

Listen.

You'll have to go there.

We need this photo.

He's the father of your grandchildren.

He's going to die?

Most probably.

I'm going to speak to her.

When did it happen?

A few hours ago, while you were at the meeting.

- You left her alone? - She really wants to leave.

- Why didn't you call? - We can't get near her.

She mustn't be alone.

What do you want to do?

I'm going.

I want to go, let me go.

My love...

I'm so sorry my darling.

Why did you have to do it this way? How did I not see it?

- See what? - That this would happen.

- What are you talking about? - Esteban, my husband.

You all know what I'm talking about.

You're all accomplices to this murder.

Murder?

What are you talking about?

Wasn't it easier to buy him off? Why did you have to kill him?

He's alive...

Yes, but he's going to die.

It's what you wanted, it's what you all wanted.

Don't say that.

Let's get out of here, now.

Why did you do it?

I didn't do anything. Marina, calm down.

Let me go!

My love, calm down.

I understand, we all understand what you're going through.

But you've not been well.

The doctors examined you, you were hospitalized, remember?

You broke a window with a chair.

Try to remember.

You're saying things I know you don't mean.

I'm saying what I know. I know what you do.

What?

I spoke to the doctor, it was a stroke. You can't provoke that.

It wasn't me. You're blaming me for...

- I know you and what you do. - Don't say that.

Trust us. I'm making sure he has the best doctors.

I've seen worse cases than Camaño's

who've made a complete recovery, Marina.

Plus the analyses showed he'd been taking a lot of drugs, lately.

It may not be the cause, but...

Darling, look at me.

Calm down, breathe.

Everything will be OK. Trust me.

Trust me, my love. It'll be OK. I promise you.

Breathe.

You're a murderer.

- What are you saying? - You're a murderer.

Don't do this to me.

- You're a murderer. - Don't do this to me, please.

- You're a murderer. - Don't do this to me.

- You're a murderer. - Don't do this to me!

- You're a murderer. - Shut up, shut up!

You're a murderer!

Shut your mouth!

Murderer.

A psychiatrist is coming from Buenos Aires.

They'll go with her to Santa Rosa so she can see him.

She insisted and I thought it was for the best.

You did the right thing.

They mustn't let her out of their sight.

Not for a second.

Send Rafael.

I spoke to Andrea.

She'll stay with the twins until Marina is better.

Afterwards, they'll come to live with us.

OK.

Hernán.

Castex went to Buenos Aires.

He won't answer his phone.

That's his problem.

What happened, Hernán?

You know what he's like. He's an idiot.

Get ready to take over.

And now relax. Everything will be OK.

Concentrate on the summit now.

It's the summit now.

Are we ready, Presidents?

We'll make a start.

So...

It's been two days of intense debate.

But because yesterday

the President of Mexico made an alternative proposal,

that complicates the agreement surrounding the oil alliance,

I suggest we do one more round of statements,

in which each president puts forward his opinion.

If we still can't reach an agreement,

we'll proceed to a simple vote.

If I must adopt the unpleasant role of pointing out

that the opinions here at this summit are tainted with prejudice,

tainted with errors,

you can be sure, fellow Presidents,

I will do so.

Let us not be afraid!

We are behaving like faint-hearted countries.

Scared that the class bully will come and threaten us.

Let us not be afraid, Americans.

Let us not be afraid to call ourselves America.

Let us be America, one single America. The time has come.

President Sastre,

Sebastián.

You want us to say yes.

But we can't say yes.

How long have we been saying yes?

How long have they

been saying yes for us?

Do you know what?

This is the time to tell them No.

"No", Presidents. Listen to how good it sounds:

no.

On this point I'll agree with the President of Argentina.

They

are not our brothers.

They are our neighbors,

not our brothers.

Don't be mistaken, President of Mexico.

A neighbor isn't a brother.

And when I say

that there's a leg missing from this great family table,

I'm not referring to the United States of North America,

Mr. President of Mexico.

Where is Guatemala?

Where is Nicaragua?

Where is Honduras?

You are asking to bring the Trojan horse into the city.

This horse is full of enemies!

Presidents,

now isn't the time for new ideas.

It's time to stand strong,

it's time to defend what we've built so far.

What we built

was built by us.

Not Nicaragua, nor El Salvador, nor Costa Rica.

It was us, us!

In the face of these opposing standpoints,

we'll move on to the vote.

For the motion of a continental alliance

that includes the countries of the three Americas,

North, Central and South America.

Who votes in favor?

Mexico.

Only Mexico?

Very well.

We will now vote for Ecuador's proposal:

to add to future talks about the alliance

the Spanish speaking countries of Central America and the Caribbean.

Let us vote.

All those in favor?

Ecuador.

Paraguay.

Venezuela.

Peru.

Mexico.

And Argentina.

Therefore, with 6 votes to 5,

the winning vote is the proposal to include in this alliance

the countries of Central America and the Caribbean.

THE SUMMIT
