Did something happen?

See who it is.

Should I answer?

I�ll take care of it.

- Hello. - Sir, Mr. President?

No, this is Pittaluga.

This is Eliseo Basurto.

Could you put me through to the president?

Unfortunately, no. The president is unavailable.

If you�d be so kind, when he�s free,

could you tell him to call me? It�s important.

No, he won�t be calling.

Not now, not later. Not ever.

I don�t understand. Why?

Because he doesn�t want to be associated with people like you, Basurto.

Well, I don�t believe a word of what you�re telling me.

If that�s the case, let him tell me.

This line no longer belongs to the president.

So please don�t call again.

There.

Hello?

Hello?

Now we block the number...

Done.

Thank you.

What is my friend doing here?

Got a cigarette?

One of yours.

Those cigars that open up your nostrils

and make your tongue itch.

I�ve got nothing, Polaco.

They took everything from me.

Those sons of bitches

threw me out on the street like a dog.

After years of working without causing trouble for anyone,

this is how I�m repaid.

Forgive me for saying so,

but it seems you�re a bit mistaken.

No, Polaco. I�m not mistaken.

That�s how it is.

No, but I mean it,

they�re doing you a favor.

Thanks, Polaco, but I�m not okay. Go away.

Listen to me, my dear friend.

Life is so much lighter without responsibilities,

without stuff.

Look at the square footage you�ve got here.

And in the best neighborhood in the city,

Asian luxury.

THE BOSS 4

Here we are in the control tower.

A few basic rules.

Bathroom rules.

For number one, just let it flow.

You�ve got the whole square to pee in peace.

- Good. - For number two,

you�ve got a gas station on Libertador

with very clean bathrooms.

In an emergency, there�s that silk floss tree over there

with plenty of privacy.

No, no need. I�m like clockwork.

I�ll go to the gas station.

Very good, as you wish.

At the station, you can also take a HAB shower.

- A HAB shower? - HAB shower.

Head, armpits, and balls.

Okay, okay...

Should I continue, or am I talking nonsense?

Sorry, Polaco. I... I... I�m lost.

I don�t understand what�s happening. Sorry.

But how can they make that decision without going through the board?

If it went through the board, it would alert Eliseo,

and he could get rid of the evidence that incriminates him.

And besides, if I, as the administrator,

suspect the superintendent committed a crime, I�m obliged to report it. Right?

So that�s it, he was fired?

Not at the moment. He�s suspended until the courts decide.

And in the meantime...

we�re without a doorman.

We don�t even have an assistant anymore.

I don�t know who replaces Eliseo in cases like this.

I�d be happy to help you,

but I�m no longer fit for manual labor.

I�m focused on satisfying, physically and spiritually,

my wife.

d comic tension music d

Who is this man?

He�s my boyfriend.

- Is there a problem? - No, Susana, please.

My God...

So who�s going to replace Eliseo?

I�ve got someone in mind who will do very well.

d comic tension music stops d

Come on. Come here.

Hold Le Pera.

For you.

Enjoy it. The temperature drops drastically at this hour.

Thank you, Polaco.

I�m going to the gas station and I�ll be right back.

Let�s go, Le Pera. Let�s go.

Yeah, come on, come on.

This can�t be happening to me.

- What are you doing, Polaco? - Shh. It�s fine.

Oh, fuck off!

Yeah, but...

you didn�t have to go that far.

For God's sake...

"It�s fine".

He�s a son of a bitch.

Eliseo. Wake up, Eliseo.

What happened?

I don�t know. That�s what I�m asking you.

Did you spend the night here?

- Huh? - Yeah.

My God, I can�t believe it.

I heard what they did to you. Those bastards, huh?

It�s because of your business.

They can�t stand a super moving up in life.

Right?

Yeah.

Well, I�m going to fix this.

But wait, where are you living now?

Here, until I get organized.

Good morning, friend.

I brought fried cakes.

They give me yesterday�s leftovers.

- Not crunchy, but it fills you up. - Yeah.

Listen, why don�t you stay at my place for a few days?

I�m with Claudito.

The house is small, okay? But the heart is big.

No thanks. I�m fine.

You can�t sleep out here, Eliseo.

And why not?

The street is a great place to sleep.

Besides, this is a square, not a street.

Come on, Eliseo. Just a few days.

Until you get organized.

Don�t fall into that trap, brother.

Don�t go back to slavery.

Hold on to your freedom!

Good morning, good morning.

Ow.

- Good morning, good morning. - Oh, good morning, good morning.

- What�s this? Oh, no... - Ta-da!

You haven�t brought me breakfast in bed in over fifteen years.

- Romi. - What happened?

Didn�t you notice anything?

You did something to your teeth. They�re whiter.

No.

That bastard is gone, and as it turns out...

the noise that woke me up in the middle of the night is gone too.

The noise never woke me up.

You were the one waking me up.

- Well, it�s over now. - Mm.

A new era begins without that bastard.

Ah... Aren�t you breathing better?

Mm? A new life.

Mm...

Ah, that mouth.

- No... - Ah, that mouth.

- Oh... No, Mat�as, stop. - Give me that mouth.

- No, Mat�as. No, stop, no. - Just a little, please.

- Damn it! - Hell...

You�re so clumsy!

In the name of the Father, of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Baby Jesus, born in Bethlehem, bless this table and all of us.

Give bread to those who have none, so they may have it or obtain it.

We would also like to thank you for Eliseo being in our home.

- Give him strength to face what comes. - Thank you...

We would also like to ask that you enlighten Claudito,

who will take his final exam in Fruit Farming II.

Thank you.

Sacred Heart of Jesus,

I trust in you. Amen.

In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

- Well, now we can begin. - Good.

I hope you like it. Claudito made it, he�s got great hands.

Thank you very much, Claudito.

Thank you both for taking me in.

No, no need to thank us.

Uh...

It is...

It�s a bit strong, isn�t it?

Yeah, it�s got homemade pork cheese.

Hmm... So much potential...

Don�t you want to come with me to Ramos Mej�a?

Well, I live with my parents, but that�s not a problem.

If you want, you can sleep in my room. I�ll sleep in the living room, no problem.

No, you don�t have to.

If you do me this favor, we�re good.

Here�s the house key.

You wait until eleven, so there�s no traffic,

go in through the garage, take the service elevator,

get home, open the door, go to the fridge,

open the freezer. There�s a package that says "bagna cauda".

There�s about twenty thousand dollars inside.

Take three hundred for yourself for the favor.

Bring me the rest, understood?

- Perfect. - I�m going to ask one more favor.

Bring my plant.

- Leave it to me. - Okay. Thank you.

Holding on tight?

- Yes, love. - Let�s go.

d comic mystery music continues d

Psst!

Miguelito.

- Where were you going? - What are you doing here?

Doing my job.

I�m the new interim super for as long as Eliseo�s injunction lasts.

Or forever, if he�s dismissed.

Which is most likely.

I didn�t know they�d chosen you.

It�s the most convenient:

I live nearby, they don�t have to rent housing,

I do extra tasks on the other shift, cover both buildings,

but above all, I�m trustworthy.

I�m trustworthy too.

I�ve worked here long before you, and naturally I�m Eliseo�s successor.

Many believe your closeness to Eliseo could be dangerous.

They think you�re an infiltrator.

And it looks like they�re right.

Why are you here?

Uh, well, no... You won�t believe it, but...

I realized I still had the garage remote.

I took it when I was Eliseo�s assistant and...

And, well...

when I noticed, I told myself, "Miguelito, return it.

Return it or the neighbors will think you�re up to something."

Which is exactly what�s happening.

That�s why I came. I didn�t know who to give it to.

You�re right.

I can�t believe it.

Give me the remote.

d suspense music d

-And the keys? -What keys?

Eliseo�s apartment keys.

- No, G�mez. Please, I�m begging you. - Give me the keys.

I won�t repeat myself. Do you want me to call the police?

d comic suspense music d

Does he always take this long?

He�s pretty dried up.

He doesn�t eat much fiber.

He�s constipated almost all the time.

Sometimes he�s in there for an hour.

Hello, Miguel.

Hello, Eliseo. Sorry for the time, did I wake you?

No, I�m in line for the bathroom.

- Did you get in? - No, I got caught by the new super.

Who�s the new super?

G�mez. He�s covering two buildings now.

G�mez is replacing me?

And he took the keys to your apartment.

I can�t believe this. Son of a bitch.

- I didn�t know he�d be there. - Don�t worry.

- Thanks. - I�m sorry, I thought...

Son of a bitch.

Whew.

If I were you, I�d wait a few minutes.

-Okay. -Excuse me.

It�s fine. I�ll go.

What the...

d tense music d

- Want more pillows? - No, I�m fine.

Perfect. Here you go.

All set.

Now try to relax. Turn off the voices in your head.

I�m not worried about voices in my head.

I�m worried about my Venus flytrap,

which needs water all the time to keep the substrate moist,

and it can�t feed itself, poor thing.

Yeah, I get it, but you won�t gain anything from that.

Want some valerian tea to help you sleep?

No, thanks, Garrido.

- Chin up. It will be fine. - Yeah.

See you tomorrow. Just one thing.

Don�t be startled if you hear a little motor.

- Why? - It�s my apnea machine.

Oh, right, right.

- Sleep well. - See you tomorrow.

How�s my little crazy one doing?

Hi.

Dr. Zambrano, good morning. How are you?

Excellent!

You have no idea what peace of mind it gives me

to leave the building and not see that bastard

with those mangy-dog eyes.

- That�s right... - No, no. Don�t. Stop right there. Enough.

That harassment from the super, talking all day,

poking into where we�re going, is over. No words. Silence.

- Like a tomb. - It�s a shame.

Why is it a shame?

I say it�s a shame

because I have something of Eliseo�s that might interest you,

but I�ll keep quiet. It�s fine.

What do you have?

Speak!

Free access to the carancho�s nest.

d comic suspense music d

Ah, those damn idiots!

Stop it, Eliseo. That�s bad for you. You�ll get anxious.

They can�t do this to me. It�s not fair, Garrido!

Look, this is like a test.

God gives his toughest battles to his best warriors.

And you�re talking to me about God? God never gave me anything.

It�s all because of that damn bald guy.

- Easy, easy... - Easy my ass!

"Easy, easy"! How am I supposed to be calm?

They threw me off the ship, Garrido!

What happens to a ship when the crew mutinies against the captain? It sinks!

Yeah, yeah.

Sorry, I�m taking it out on you.

- No, no, it�s fine. - I�m sorry. You�ve helped me so much.

No, it�s fine.

It�s not healthy to stew in anger. You�ll make yourself sick.

And what do you gain by being sick?

You know what? Don�t give him that satisfaction.

Don�t give it to him.

What kind of place is this? He�s nuts.

d comic suspense music continues d

There�s nothing here. You dragged me here for nothing.

- Let�s keep looking. - No, it�s not here.

Doesn�t this guy have a plot of land?

Maybe he buried it, or gave it to a relative.

No, what land? He�s got nothing, land, family, nothing.

It�s not here. There�s nothing here.

To me, it�s all in your head.

Stewing like an idiot, spinning like a crazy top.

Look at this, look, look!

You think someone with money lives like this?

Look, he doesn�t even have an armchair to watch TV.

I�ll wait outside.

Good morning, colleague.

Good morning.

I bring an official document for the suspended superintendent

of Granadero Lismendi, one-six-three-zero.

I don�t understand how you can be so calm.

You need to be pragmatic, Garrido.

I�m occupying a space, nothing more. If it weren�t me, it�d be someone else.

What they�re doing to him is awful.

Nobody is irreplaceable.

Not even Eliseo. Call him.

He�s not in any condition to see anyone.

- What do you mean by that? - After what they did to him,

he�s very depressed.

He hasn�t gotten up in a month.

He won�t go out, won�t shower, won�t do anything.

Not even eat. They destroyed him.

No way.

No? Come with me. Come with me.

Eliseo, you have a visitor.

See what I mean?

Comrade Eliseo!

How are you?

Fine. And you?

What happened, man?

Come on, you can�t be like this.

What do you want? Did you come to bring me my dismissal?

No. It�s a summons to an extraordinary assembly

on Friday next week.

Do you want me to read it?

d melancholic music d

"Extraordinary General Assembly of Co-owners to be held..."

Blah, blah, blah...

"...review of the superintendent�s employment situation

and definition of future actions.�

A bit ambiguous.

Well, that�s it.

Tell me how it goes.

What do you mean? You�re not going?

What for?

If I get kicked out, it won�t matter.

What do you mean? You have to go defend yourself. Then there�ll be a vote.

If Zambrano called an assembly, it�s because he has the votes.

All right.

Anyway, Eliseo,

although as an owner you�re not required to attend,

you were summoned here in your capacity as superintendent.

Fine. Anything else?

Yes.

Since there is still a restraining order against you,

you will have to participate via video call.

Thank you very much for the information.

Now I want to go back to sleep. See you later.

d melancholic music ends d

It�s time, isn�t it?

Yes. I�m waiting for Eliseo to connect.

We�re eagerly awaiting him.

We can�t continue without our guest.

Don�t be an idiot.

He�s connecting.

My God.

Wow, the suspension hasn�t done him any good.

Hi. Good afternoon, everyone.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Eliseo.

Thank you for joining us.

Would you like to say something before we begin?

Please let someone else start. I�m not ready.

Well, I�ll start.

We all know why we�re gathered, don�t we?

Very serious acts have been committed.

We tolerated things we should never have tolerated.

The superintendent, now suspended,

is facing very serious accusations.

And many of us here believe we need to make a definitive decision.

Are you okay, Eliseo?

-He fainted. -What happened?

Eliseo, are you okay? Claudito, come here.

Lay him on his back and raise his legs 30 centimeters.

- Yes. Come on, come on. - Put perfume under his nose.

Don�t put anything, please. Listen to me.

Help me carry him back.

Wait, wait. I�ll put something under his head.

- Here. - Yes.

- Should we suspend the meeting? - Give him space.

- Wait a moment. - Let him breathe.

- He opened his eyes! - Ow, what happened?

You fainted.

Help him sit up slowly so he doesn�t get dizzy.

Go get more water.

I have homemade pork cheese. Maybe the salt will help.

Don�t give him anything to eat or drink.

- Who are you? - There, on the computer.

It�s a video call.

- Oh, the meeting. - Yes, yes, yes.

The computer...

Yes, yes.

...it�s far.

- I�ll stay here. - There. Thank you.

Can you hold it? Don�t you want me to stay?

- Here. Here I can see myself. - Eliseo, do you want us to stop?

We can postpone the meeting until you�re feeling better, okay?

No, don�t worry.

No, don�t postpone anything.

I�m not going to feel better.

No...

Ever since all this started,

I haven�t been feeling well.

The threats, the looks,

not being able to be at home,

doing my work,

practicing my profession.

All of it

made me think I was wasting away,

but no, I wasn�t.

I followed the advice of my friend Garrido,

who told me, "Eliseo, why don�t you go to the doctor?"

And I called Dr. Marina.

And she very kindly told me: "You need to run some tests, Eliseo."

Would you like to continue, Doctor?

Uh... Yes.

In fact, we ran a full panel of tests

and found an apical dysfunction known as Takotsubo syndrome.

It�s triggered by a severe emotional shock.

Sorry for my ignorance, but is it serious? Is it severe?

Well, if treated immediately, it shouldn�t be.

But in this case, it wasn�t caught in time,

and the insufficient blood flow

caused the death of cells in important tissues.

That produces, to be objective,

a cascade of organ failure.

My God.

d sad music d

And that�s how it was.

Very gently, she told me:

"Eliseo,

try to get your affairs in order.

Because you don�t have much time."

She said three months or a little less, right, Doctor?

And she told the truth:

I don�t have time to correct mistakes.

d sad music continues d

I also don�t have room

to hold on to resentment.

But what I want to tell you...

is that I�m at peace.
