Original subtitles

Thirty-four degrees in Buenos Aires today, folks.

I only brought a T-shirt to work since it's so hot.

We're at 80% humidity. Careful out there!

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., negotiations are still underway

to secure a new disbursement from the International Monetary Fund.

The Minister of Economy has assured congress that this new loan

would offer a short-term solution to the current financial crisis.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for,

the number one spot on the charts this week!

This instant classic has had us dancing…

-…let's see if you recognize it. Play it! -Hey, stupid!

Come on!

Let's go, lady!

Hey! Move outta the way!

Hey!

When a dog or a horse dies, we say, "Oh, the poor thing."

But when a fly dies, we don't say anything.

We see it desperately flapping its wings, and still, we do nothing.

That asshole.

My husband led a double life.

And I was his fly, slamming into the same window over and over again.

But you have to watch out for flies.

They come. They go.

They may act like they're lost, but they're not.

In one second, one moment of insanity, all your plans can change forever.

Today, I'm starting over.

I'm leaving my name behind and my old life.

This is my time now. And time flies.

TIME FLIES

15 YEARS LATER

I had their business card in my bag

-No idea what you're saying. -No, no!

No, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no! Get out of there! Get out!

Don't take off your mask in there, or you'll poison yourself.

-Thought it was only poisonous to pets. -No. In there, keep the mask on.

No, no! No, don't put it back on now. Stop, stop.

We're almost finished, ma'am! We'll be done soon!

-That's fine, dear. Take your time. -Mm.

-Uh, can you… -Of course.

-Can you get him for me? -Yes.

Blanquito!

-Oh! -Oh no!

-Didn't you tell her to hold him? -She was holding him.

It's fine, don't worry. He'll be out for a while, but it'll wear off.

-C'mon. -Ma'am?

She's not talking to you, Inès.

Ma'am! The cat!

FUMIGATION, PEST CONTROL

Can I help you?

-No, thanks. -We're good.

You want me to fill it up?

No, that's okay.

My God, I'm so sorry.

-Sorry. -So sorry.

Sorry, man.

Can you believe this guy? Jeez.

I've been thinking about it and looks like I'll need two or three more weeks.

-At your place. -Mm-hm.

I'll help you out, of course. With work and whatever else.

You asking me for a job?

-Is everything a joke to you? -What?

-Well, yeah! I like to have a laugh. -Okay, everything's a joke.

Oh, Inès, come on. You used to like my jokes.

-What's the matter? -I wasn't really myself then.

-How are you, Carlos? -I'm all right. Hanging in there, y'know.

Would you like me to help wash all this for you?

Yes, please.

All right, Carlos. Making us work for ya, huh?

Yeah. That's it.

Did he pay you?

No, he's still waiting for his pension to come in.

-But he has paid you before, right? -Sure he has. He'll pay up.

-So hot! -I'm starving.

Me too. What've we got?

-Argh! -What the hell was that?!

No, there. There, it's over there.

-Do you see it? -I got it, it's okay. One more second.

Hi, pest control.

Oh no, that won't work. Today is impossible. Sorry. Bye.

How 'bout next time you let us know, all right?

Come on.

I've heard there are some more… organic products that aren't toxic.

Yeah, no. They don't work.

Well, I heard that some are good and leave no residue.

No, they don't work at all.

Excuse me.

I'll start on the patio.

No need today.

But we usually always do the whole place.

Mm. Do it next time.

Once you've found some good organic products.

I can't stand that guy. I'm not coming back.

-I can do it. -No, no. No one's coming back.

Is he your type?

-Why would you ask me that? -I dunno.

Look. I'm just saying, I'm happy to come if you don't want to.

We can't afford to lose a client like that.

We really need the money, Mariana.

There are lots of different kinds of flies.

Most of them are totally harmless.

But other kinds… are hunters.

I need you to sign right here, please.

There.

Can I help you, sir?

I was just going to sit down.

Fine. Sign there, please.

There she is.

She's got two years of parole left,

and she has to come sign in at this office every week.

She needs to secure a fixed address and get a job

so she doesn't lose her privileges.

She gave them this card.

PEST CONTROL

Hello. How are you?

I'm here to see my accountant, Mr. Leverato.

Yes, of course.

He asked for you to wait for him at the bar in the gallery.

-I brought it all. -How much is there?

I'm sorry, but there's nothing, Inès.

And the safe? What's in there?

The account in Uruguay?

I'm afraid Ernesto never declared anything.

Which you knew.

Have you spoken to your daughter?

An injured fly moves differently.

It becomes slow and clumsy. It trembles.

As if it can no longer hear what the world is saying to it.

-Add a little soil. -Hey, how long is Inès staying?

-Not sure. As long as she needs to. -Huh?

She gave me a job when we were in prison.

-Now it's my turn to help her out. -Sure.

What's funny?

-Huh? -Why're you laughing?

-I don't wanna tell you. You'll be mad. -I'm not gonna get mad. What is it?

It's the usual. You know she's not into women, Manca.

Nah! That's not why.

-Hi! -How are you?

What's wrong?

-Want some pizza? -No, no.

Thanks anyway, but I'd rather get settled in and see how I feel later.

I'm not hungry now.

Hello.

Oh! I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to barge in.

Try knocking next time. It is the bathroom.

-Sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. -It's okay.

-Came to get my bag and didn't think to… -It's all right.

Were you checking out that lump again?

You told me you were gonna see a doctor. Did you?

No. I have an appointment.

Ah! Well, that's good!

When is it?

In, um, two or three months or something.

-What do you mean? Is that a joke? -What?

You can't wait two or three months.

They need to check it right away. You can't afford to wait.

Sure, but I'm on a waiting list. Tons of other people are too.

-You need to have them check it. -All right!

-Can I help you with that? -No, no. Thank you.

I mean, it's my bed, so, y'know…

This client's name is Susana Bonar. She's new.

She called and said it was urgent.

They'll definitely pay us here.

Hi there.

Here's some lemonade if you're thirsty.

-Thanks. -Great, thank you.

We'll finish up here and move onto the rooms next.

No, you can't go into the rooms.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

-Bye. -See you.

Rody!

Hey, are you done?

-Huh? -Come 'ere.

-Please. -What is it?

I've been trying to find a doctor.

Well, I haven't graduated yet.

-What's up? -No, I know. It's for Mariana.

He treated me years ago, but I don't know how to find him now.

I don't even know if he's practicing anymore,

and I don't know where to look.

-Name? -Ortiz.

-What kind of doctor? -Breast specialist.

-Bre… breasts? -Breast specialist.

I dunno. This guy?

Where did you have those tests done?

Uh, in the prison infirmary.

Shame you didn't follow up.

I know. I didn't have time.

Put your shirt back on.

Are you sure you weren't a patient of mine?

No. No.

I got your number from a friend of mine.

-Right. -So do you think it could be malignant?

Well, I don't have magical powers just yet.

You have private insurance?

-No. -Look, Inès, we'll go somewhere else.

-I can't afford it. -Right, why don't we do this.

I'll give you my card. And then you can call my office.

That way, they can answer all your questions.

Thank you so much for your time.

These guys are gonna bleed us dry, Inès. Mark my words.

Your results.

They say that on a stormy day, if you see two flies flying together,

it means the sun will be coming out soon.

-Hey. -The power's out.

-The power is out? -Yeah, they cut it off.

-Us or the whole neighborhood? -Just us. We didn't pay.

-How long since you paid? -Oh, not that long.

-How long's it been? -I don't know.

-Two months? -Ah.

-Know what I think we should do? -What?

-Buy candles. -C'mon.

-Hey. -Hello there.

-How are you doing? -Good.

-How much is it? -No, no. Leave it. I've got it.

-I'm just getting a call. -Okay.

Hi there, Leverato. Yeah, I'm still looking around.

No. But, I dunno, maybe clothes… Uh, you know, I'm into fashion…

Hi, fellow passengers. I hope I'm not disturbing you.

I have this unbelievable offer for you today.

Put this one on.

Look. Here, the leggings are one-size-fits-all,

but don't tell the clients that, okay?

And about the cards. Debit is fine. Credit, uh…

Tell them the reader's broken, you've called three times,

and they haven't fixed it yet.

-Okay? -All right, change.

-I would maybe pull it down a little. -Yeah.

-Like that. -Like this?

That's it. Wow, nice tits, huh? You were keeping them hidden.

Now I see why Leverato was so insistent.

-Yeah. -That's it, smile. Good.

Oh, customers. Show 'em your stuff.

Good morning!

-Oh, hey. -Hi.

-We're just looking. Thanks. -Okay.

This one's really pretty, but I don't like this.

-This isn't my color. -So?

This one's okay.

-They just wanna look. -Yeah, I heard that.

-So, will this be all? -Yes.

Do you do transfers? So I can send it to you?

Yes.

Yeah, I'll give you our info.

Um… would you mind holding on a sec, I'm just gonna ring her up first.

-I can pay with a QR code, right? -Sure.

Oh, except I forgot that the card reader is being repaired.

Um, I can't pay without a QR code.

Thanks a lot.

Listen, I've got nothing against you personally.

Seriously, I mean it.

It doesn't matter to me at all where you came from,

what you did, who you were with.

None of it matters to me at all.

-My problem is you're not a salesperson. -But it's something I can learn!

Sure, but I don't have the time to train you.

Hello?

-Hey. -Hey, great, the power's back?

Sure is. It's back on, because I paid.

How'd it go?

-Fine. But I'm not gonna go back. -No?

-No, I'm gonna look for something else. -Oh.

I got you a gift.

Clear the table.

It's pretty, look.

It's huge. I'll fold it in half.

Let's see.

-Oh, that's lovely. -Yeah, gorgeous.

-Know what I've been thinking? -Hm?

I wanna go back to the clinic,

and I wanna ask them about a quote for you.

Don't you get tired of always talking about the same thing?

Repeating yourself over and over, don't you get tired of it?

Because I'm fed up with it. We're going out.

-Manca? -Huh?

-What? -She's my friend's niece, you know.

-And? -What d'you mean, "and"?

I'm serious!

Why are you being such a downer, man? What's wrong, Arturo?

What happened to you?

Who's this?

-Hello? -Hi, this is Susana Bonar.

Oh yes, how are you, ma'am? W, what can I help you with?

-I need you to come back to my house. -Yeah?

-There's still bugs. -Oh no. I'm very sorry, ma'am.

We did it properly, but you have to be patient.

-I need you to come back tomorrow. -No, I'm sorry. Tomorrow won't work.

Well, if you can't make it, then maybe your partner can.

My partner? Hang on, just… just gimme a minute.

She wants you to go.

-Me? -Yeah.

-But why? -I have no idea, but she wants you to go.

-What do I tell her? -If you want, I'll go.

-I don't mind. I'll go. -Sorry, ma'am?

Yes, I'm here. I'm listening. Will she come?

Yes, but we're gonna have to charge you for another visit.

The money isn't an issue. I just need your friend here tomorrow.

-Fine! That'll be fine. -So it's confirmed?

-Yes, our pleasure. -I'll be waiting.

And see you tomorrow.

That's good! She'll pay for another one.

Nice, Inès! Great work, awesome. We're gonna make a really good team.

-You've gotta get that checked out. -Fine. I'll check it tomorrow.

-No, tomorrow is-- -Please, we'll talk later.

Come and dance. Grab a little drink!

-Tomorrow, you have to see a doctor-- -Come on! Not now. Let's go.

Yes! There we are!

Sorry, ma'am. Should I begin? I'm just not sure where to start.

Oh, I don't mind where you start.

You're familiar with the house. And we're alone today.

I know. But what exactly did you want me to do?

-Excuse me? -Was there something in particular?

-Did you find cockroaches, or… -No, no. Not at all.

I dunno. Spray a little everywhere. But afterwards, I wanna speak to you.

Of course.

-Excuse me. -Yes.

Excuse me, ma'am. I'm all done.

Oh, sit down, then.

Would you like a drink?

-No, no. Thank you-- -No, I insist.

I made some juice. I'll get it. Do you like these flowers?

They're for a party that I'm throwing here at the house.

Yes, they're very nice.

These little ones can attract a lot of bugs though.

Oh, it's only for a few hours.

Just keep checking the spots afterwards.

What I would recommend, just for this time of year,

and, of course, only if you want, is to check everything for larvae.

I'm so curious to hear more about the work you do.

Working with plants and bugs.

Have you been doing this job for a long time?

Uh, yes. It's been a few years now.

-And are those products you use any good? -Oh, yes. They're very good.

-How effective are they? -Uh, they work, you know.

They're some of the best on the market, and we also don't water them down.

Are they dangerous?

Dangerous how?

I don't know. Say I had a pet. Could it get sick from that?

No, because we know how to prepare it correctly.

And what if they were to ingest it pure?

Do you even have any pets?

-If that's the main thing you're worried-- -No, I'm not worried about that.

Oh. So what is it?

I think I need some poison.

We can come whenever you need us to. We're flexible.

Whenever you need us, just call.

Ever accidentally poison an animal?

No.

No. No, never.

Because I'm sure if an animal ingested those products pure,

it would probably die, right?

Sure, if you gave it to them in their food or in their water.

Would it die right away or suffer a while?

Uh, well, that depends…

on the amount of product you give it.

I need enough to exterminate something really big.

A lot bigger than a dog even.

This is a plea from one woman to another.

I need your help, and I'm willing to pay you in dollars.

-I don't know what that is though. -Oh yes, you do. I know you do.

No, no, no. Seriously, no. I don't work with that product.

But you can find out what it is and get your hands on it.

I'm not sure. I'm really not.

Nothing is a problem if you can throw some money at it. Here.

Take this. It's a little advance.

Take it. Think about it. No strings attached.

-Why don't you ask one of your colleagues? -No. I'll pay you for the day, all right?

-No! That's too much money. Please… -No, you're worth every penny.

-Think about it. -No. I'm sorry but, no, thank you.

Please, just think about it for a day or two.

I'll call you soon, then you can come over, and we'll talk.

Go on. It'll be fine.

Kill someone? No way!

-No. -No!

-I wouldn't have to kill anyone! -Okay.

-No, that's not it at all! -Great.

All she wants me to do

is to simply deliver an order to her, and then that would be it.

No! No. No. We're gonna be just fine, okay?

What do you mean, we're gonna be fine, Mariana?

-No one ever pays with actual money! -No, listen!

I promise you everything is going to be fine.

-Have a little faith. -Nothing is gonna be fine.

The only thing you have to do now, and you better be listening to me,

is to get through your probation, sign your release forms,

and never go back to that house.

Okay?

Got it?

FLY SPECIES TAXONOMY AND BIOLOGY

And in these last few moments, keeping our eyes closed,

we will focus our attention solely

on where our bodies make contact with the floor.

Feeling the lightness and expansiveness.

Keep your eyes closed. Enjoy these last few moments.

And I'll see you all next time.

I'm so happy you got the organic products.

You got dry eyes?

No, no. No, I've got sort of a…

little spot that's sort of irritated.

-What's it feel like? -It's, uh…

It's like having a fly floating around here.

Has it been a while?

It's been a long time.

-Fifteen years, give or take. -Oh, for ages!

Yeah.

I'm sure you know that stress can manifest

as many other kinds of problems in the body.

Oh, does it?

The body tells us what it needs.

Sorry…

…but I'm not really into that stuff.

You know, I used to think a lot like you do, Inès.

I come from a… a much simpler lifestyle. Much more like yours than you can imagine.

Forgive me, but I don't think so.

Everyone's got their own life.

But you don't know mine at all.

I used to be a lawyer.

I'm going now.

-Is this really the quote? -Yes, that's just an estimate.

Now, that includes all the tests, and the surgeries, and the fees.

But, of course, things may change as we get further along.

And this is in dollars?

Yeah.

All right. Thank you.

POST RELEASE CENTER JOB POOL

COURSES BASIC BLACKSMITHING

Hi, again. Are there any new job listings?

-Did they fire you? -Oh, no!

I just decided that, uh…

Well, I wanna… possibly try something else.

Oh. Sorry.

Listen, I don't think you should go changing jobs right now.

Come in, sign the forms, and then your time will be up.

It's simple. Hm?

The flight of a fly is a total mystery to humans.

It changes direction completely without warning.

And it moves unpredictably, in the strangest ways.

And of course, they will have all the answers to your burning questions

when we come back from the commercial break.

Martineta.

Now, let's see if our panel got it right.

And it looks like it's… Yes, it's a martineta or crested tinamou.

Got that one.

Thank you for coming back.

I would love to get this over with as quickly as we can.

Cheers.

I wanna apologize, Inès. I haven't been honest with you.

My husband's been cheating.

He's sleeping with another woman.

Just like what happened to you.

I know who you are.

I recognized you when you came to fumigate.

Look, I'm not that person--

I'm sure you never thought that you would wake up one morning and want to kill.

But I get it. Sometimes, they push us to the limit.

Look at how I keep my house. Look at it. Look at me.

Look at you!

Can you believe it? You think it's fair that they do this to us?

-Why should we have to suffer? Why sh-- -No, I shouldn't have come back here.

Don't worry about anything. You're just helping out a friend.

And I'm gonna help you too.

You'll be able to move into a place of your own.

You'll be able to buy some new things.

The envelope is right over there. Take it. And think about it.

If you accept, there'll be more later.

This is just between you and me, Inès.

You buy a product, you bring it to me,

and then we can forget all about this.
