"... strong police repression." "We'd anticipated something serious was about to happen, ... people were only expressing their dissatisfaction ... with the De la Rua administration..." "LAMB OF GOD" "You have reached Guillermina Valenzuela, messages after the beep." "Please Guille..." "If you're there?" "Please... pick up" "Hello Grandpa..." "Yes, who is it?" "What?" "!" "Yes, I'll turn it on, ... yes..." "How much?" "!" "Yes, I'm listening..." "Yes..." "How long do I have?" "Yes..." "Hello!" "Hello!" "It's so humid!" "This weather's awful!" "What did Marcucci say?" "How was his reply?" "He said your signature was enough." "What about the key to the safe?" "He'll bring it tomorrow." "He'll pick us up at 10." "He's coming with us to the bank to pick up the money." "How nice of him!" " Why tomorrow?" " Today's Sunday, mom." "Could you not smoke in the car?" "Paco Valenzuela..." "live from the Monumental Stadium..." "Look, it's my dad!" " Go ahead Paco..." " Thank you." "Coach César Luis Menotti is announcing  according to expert forecasts from the international press  like our listener Kalinki, ... we'd like to greet on air, ... that the National Team ... has excellent chances." " Hello." " Good afternoon, doctor." "Live from the Monumental." "... Back to you, at the studios." " When did it happen?" " This morning during training." "He couldn't hold his lane." " What's his name?" " Ace." " Touch him, go ahead." " Can I?" "His front leg is hurting." "I'll give him some anti inflammatory drugs." "He'll need cold showers and lots of rest." " Come here Guille..." " I'm not Guille, I'm Kalinki." "Sorry Kalinki, come here..." "See if you can recognize who it is..." "Can Ace be ready by the 29th?" "If we force him, he could break." "Grandpa!" "Keep me posted..." " And this?" " Look who I found!" " Who's this?" " Granny..." "She looks beautiful in her wedding dress..." "like a princess!" " Why not stay the night?" " No, thank you." "I have to take the girl back to Buenos Aires." "I'll tell one of the boys to drive you back." "No, please... don't worry." "Miss Guille!" "Tea-time!" "Italy, France, Hungary, are tough teams..." "I doubt we'll get through the first round." "You surprise me Paco doubting our team!" "I didn't say that!" " I have faith in Menotti." " Menotti?" "He'll stand by the government before the entire world!" "What does that have to do with it?" "Why can't the people enjoy a popular feast?" "A popularfeast is great!" "... but, investing 700 million in football, in a country with poor education and no hospital resources..." "What are we talking here, football or politics?" "Stop it." "Not again." "You shouldn't be in sports." "You always knock it down." " Come darling." " Stop fighting..." " We're not fighting..." " Oh no?" "What then?" "We're just arguing." "That's all..." "Right." "It's someone I know's birthday..." "How about celebrating it in the country?" "Could be, right?" "You promised..." "What?" "I said she could ride by herself the next time?" "Ride Blondie..." "But not Blondie yet." "Let's start with a pony." "Go on..." "What's this?" " I'm worried Paco..." " I don't understand..." " Teresa's my daughter... and Guille..." " She's mine..." "What is going on..." "I can help from here." "I know people who could get you a job abroad..." "I have a job!" "You think you can come to my house and tell me what to do?" "!" "Listen to me son." "I'm older and wiser!" " We're not moving." " Francisco, please!" "Listen carefully to what I'm going to say!" "You're a good guy." "I respect you mostly because of my daughter!" "I don't meddle with you or with yourfriends." " Nor I with yours..." " Don't play smart with me!" "This is my family that's involved now." "Things have become ugly around here!" "You should know it better than I do!" "Kids, you're an easy target." "Don't you get it?" "You're too exposed!" "You've got to leave!" "I don't want to go..." "Come mom..." "I prepared your room." "No..." "It gives me heart burn." " Since when?" " So there's no proof of life." "Since when..." "You used to run all over Paris for mate." "Did you hear what I just said?" "There's not much we can do if he's dead!" "Mother, please!" "What does Marcucci think?" "Do we have enough time?" "Does he think it's enough?" "Why, what's your hurry?" "He's worried there may not be enough in the safety box." "It has to be enough." "It's a ridiculous amount." "They're doing itjust to put pressure on you." "I'm not sure." "Grandpa recently sold two studs." "The commission was US 400,000." "And where's the money?" "He invested it in the US, in two insurance policies." "One in my name..." "the other in yours." " Did your grandpa tell you?" " Marcucci did..." "Couldn't we use that money?" "Yes, but with his death certificate!" "Here:" "The towels..." "Better?" "Yes, much..." " The coffee is coming..." " Thanks, Pacita..." "Hello..." "Hurry, it's the line they use to call us!" " She does it on purpose!" " Relax, sweetie." "Let's see if you remember?" "A vin jaune!" "How could I forget something so good..." "I'll have to cook something for it..." "Yes..." "How delicious!" "Well?" "How's she doing?" "So, so..." "How's she taking it?" "As best she can..." "Why don't you talk to her?" "You know something..." "I'd booked a ticket for December..." "Really?" "Yes, because..." "I filed a response to the summons." "That's great!" "Wonderful, congratulations!" "I've been summoned for December 13th..." "It's convenient... there's less work at the hospital..." "I'm glad Tere!" "How do you feel?" " About what?" " About having to testify..." "Fine..." "I mean, I don't know..." "It'll be tough..." "But, it's all right." "I don't know..." " I'm glad I made the decision." " Very brave!" "Shall I take that?" "OK..." "Hey..." "And Guille?" "What?" "What will you tell her?" "I don't know, there's still time..." " And the lemon tree?" " Kumquat, it's a kumquat tree." "We planted it when Guille moved in." "Do you like it?" " What do you think of our Carlitos?" " Carlitos..." "Hello!" "Hello Tere, how was the trip?" "So, you beat me to it..." "Kalinki's..." "Kalinki's..." "Kalinki's!" "Kalinki's..." "Kalinki's..." "Kalinki's!" "Can I do it?" "No, you'll scratch it..." "And the needle?" " Needle?" " Yes..." "That's right..." "Kids go play elsewhere..." "Have you seen what the French published?" "What about?" "About the nuns, in the Nouvel Observateur" "Ah, yes..." "For the World Cup, they're publishing a letter to the government  asking for information on the missing journalists." " And who told you?" " The guy at Le Monde" " When?" " Today." "They were at the restaurant." " You sent them!" " Oh, yes..." "Hey, go slow on the olives!" "You'll lose your appetite." "And the empanadas?" "They're coming!" "The first lot's ready." " Hungry?" " Yes..." "The light's gone!" " Oh, no!" "Kids..." " Don't worry..." "We'll light some candles." "Come on, be quiet!" "I'll go..." " Stay here." " I'll come with you..." "Who is it?" " Who is it?" " Josu..." "Hello brother!" " Josu." "You scared us!" " He'll be the death of us!" " Hello Josu!" " Hello Kalinki!" "Where have you been?" "We haven't seen you lately..." " What happened here?" " Nothing, a power cut." "Dinner!" "Some wine." " The corn ones are good!" " Be careful, they're hot..." "They're good!" " Shall I hide it here?" " Yes..." "What's up with the Frenchman?" "He'll be covering the 24th then they'll get him out." "When will it be published?" "During the World Cup." "It will be more effective." " We'll collect more signatures..." " Daddy..." "We want your forecast of the World Cup." "Go to the living-room I'll be there in a minute..." "What's the matter?" "Am I talking to the wall?" "Ten..." "Twenty..." "Calm down..." "Hello!" "Yes... 43..." "Is 43,000 dollars cash not enough?" "Ask for proof  proof of life." " I can't raise that much!" "Ok, I heard..." "Will you call back?" "All right, but when?" " Ask for proof of life!" " When will I get proof?" "!" "I'm doing my best, but please..." "Bastard, he hung up!" " What'd he say exactly?" " I don't know..." "Calm down, have some water..." "They won't negotiate..." "They want the 400,000..." "We can't make demands." "We must do as they say  or they'll kill grandpa." "Did you get more time?" "No..." " When will they call back?" " They didn't say..." "Couldn't we mortgage my father's house?" "Without him?" "It would take months..." "What about mine?" "I mean ours?" "What are you saying?" "How much could we get?" "I think I have a say in this matter, don't I?" "We're talking about it, aren't we?" "We'd need an appraisal." "In these circumstances..." "I think it would be better to sell it altogether." "That's crazy." "No!" " Could you slow down a little?" " Could you not be so rude?" "This is all that's left of yourfather's..." "The only material thing." "So?" "You'd let someone die to honor his memory?" "What are you saying?" "Before giving up the house," "I think you should borrow the money from a friend." "We don't know anyone who has that much." "What about General Delfione?" "He could spare it." "He's an old friend of your father's." "He'd probably be willing to help..." "That's the last straw!" "I appreciate the suggestion but it's out of the question!" "What's the matter?" "Calm down, will you?" "I am very calm." "I'm not asking that man for anything!" "Fine." "I love it." "What do you suggest?" "!" "If you won't go, I'll go alone, then." "He may be a fascist pig but I'd rather ask him... than stay here and watch them kill my grandpa." "Hello..." "Yes, it's me." "The cops..." "Yes..." "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Look what I found..." "Eh..." "It's the baby!" "Did you see the new ducks?" "No." "You didn't see them?" "In the pond?" "Ask grandpa to take you..." "You'll stay with grandpa." "And prepare the party?" "Yes..." "When I come back, you can ride Blondie." "But when?" "Soon?" "In a while." "I'll get mom and come back." "We're not having a party without her, are we?" "OK." "Give me a huge great big hug." "Give me a hand." "At the owner's..." "Arturo Romairone." "I have his address." "We thought the car had been stolen." "But nobody'd reported it." "We couldn't find the owner, so we started a search." "You can stop searching." "My father's not in Buenos Aires." "He's at a Seminar." "He's a Vet." "Aha, so?" "He parked the car in the street and..." "We've been using my daughter's." "We didn't notice it was missing..." "There are many thefts..." "A car like this is..." "You should have left it in a garage!" "Be thankful we found it." "May I?" "We filed for a routine inspection." "You can have the car back in a few days." "We'll let you know and bring it over..." "No, no." "Let us know." "We'll come pick it up." "As you wish..." "Excuse me..." "Hello..." "No, I was farfrom the phone..." "Yes..." "I'd never report it!" "No..." "I'm getting it together..." "I'll never get the 400,000." "Still, I managed some more..." "But let me talk to him first..." "I told you, I have more but..." "I don't know exactly..." "But there's still time?" "!" "Yes..." "All right, fine..." "I promise I'll deliver, but please, let me talk..." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello..." "Good afternoon, Sir..." "Yes, Sir..." "No, he left forthe city..." "Yes, I'll call her." "Good bye, Sir..." "It's for Miss Kalinki." "Hello daddy!" "Where are you?" "And mommy?" "Yes, I'm listening..." "But, when?" "How soon?" "I love you too." "Shall we blow the candles?" "Yes..." "Once upon a time a good little wolf was mistreated by all the lambs..." "And there was also an evil prince ... All these things." "Once upon a time when I dreamt the world was Upside down..." "Happy Birthday, angel!" "Look what I brought you..." "Do you like it?" " Do you like it?" " Yes." "What shall we call it?" "Catalina..." "Catalina... it's a girl lamb!" "Do you like it?" "I wish he would die..." "No Tere!" "It does you harm..." "No one can hate their father like that." "It's not hate." "It's the satisfaction of knowing that you pay what you owe..." "And what about what you owe him?" "Come on, confront it..." "Sort it out while he's alive." "With the dead you can't solve a thing!" " A little more wine?" " No..." " Is that all that's left?" " I have to save some for Carlitos." "It's more than good, it's disturbing!" "It's wonderful!" " I'll get another bottle." " I'll help you..." "I was remembering when I called from Paris, ... from the phone booth." " Remember?" " Zenaida answered the phone." "Scary, wasn't it!" " She said you'd called 3 times, from Paris." " Who'd call 3 times?" " Me..." "Then, you asked her for the empanada recipe." "I almost died!" "I thought it was a code!" " I wanted the recipe..." " I almost had a heart attack!" "The phone was broken." "I was calling forfree." "Are they still on the menu?" "The empanadas?" "Yes." "They're a classic!" "Paco holds the record..." "I saw him eat 25 in a row!" "I counted them..." "What an animal!" "What would it be like if Paco were alive?" "He's not." "He's dead." "But you aren't..." "And yourfather, even if he's a bastard  let him die of old age." "You deserve to forgive him..." "Give yourself the chance..." "Put yourself in his place:" "What would you have done?" "I'd have respected my daughter's wish." "Sit down mother..." " Guille!" " Alejandro!" " My you've grown!" " Thanks for seeing us!" "Please, child..." "Teresa!" "Long time no see!" " That's right..." " Sit down please..." "Can I get you something?" "Coffee, tea?" "Nothing... thanks." "Let's get down to business." "You can stop worrying." "I have the money." "Go to this address tomorrow, ask for Richard." "He knows..." "Have your ID with you." "Everything's in your name." " Thank you!" " No problem, child." "I'm still surprised you let her come back." "No I didn't." "She decided for herself." "She's free." "Very noble of you." "Unfortunately, not everyone is like you." "Instead of trying to overcome this crisis, some are still wallowing in the past, which has proscribed anyhow." "I imagine... you won't be taking part in these horrid trials?" "What do you mean?" "This must be hard for you." "After all these years..." "I doubt that testifying about such painful things will do any good." "Is this a condition for the loan?" "!" "Always so drastic!" "I can still see that in you." "Come on Guille!" "Mother?" "What's going on?" "I'm talking to you!" "Answer me!" "What's the matter?" "!" "What's he talking about?" "Is it about the armed forces, the reopening of the trials?" "Answer me!" "Have they summoned you?" "Is it about dad?" "Talk to me?" "!" "Don't answer me, then!" "Are we getting the money or not?" " No..." " You've got to be joking!" "Your father's been kidnapped." "He can help us save him." "Are we getting it or not?" "!" "No!" "If we don't, we'll have to sell the house..." "You don't want the money, you won't sell the house..." "What do you want?" "Why did you come?" "To ruin things." "I didn't need you here..." "All this ideology wasted, while you let someone die, just like that!" "Mother?" "!" "I made it..." " I don't believe you." " Well, my aunt helped me..." "Carlitos, do you know where your dad is?" "And your mother?" "The nice thing about it is that you can wear it this way  or like that." " Who is it?" " It's me..." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Look what I found!" "Look!" "Are you ready?" "OK." "Get changed." "We have to go..." "Hello Guille, pick up!" "Guille, are you there?" "Please..." "Please pick up!" "Hello Carlitos... it's me." "Daddy..." " You want some mate?" " Yes..."

"Anyway... you can always work at the restaurant." "Thanks..." "How will you convince her?" "I really don't know." "I don't even know where she is." "Give her time." "She must be mixed up." "She knew what was going on." "She knew what to expect." "I really don't get her." "They all suffered terribly." "But what do we do now?" "What ever we can." "You convinced herto come." "Convince her sell the house." "If she shows up." "We haven't much time" " You're very hard on her." " Excuse me, me?" "What about her with her father?" " Who is it?" " Paco?" " Who wants to know?" " Josu sent me." "What happened?" "Someone exposed our clandestine activities." "The police came..." "There was a shooting." "They kidnapped two of us." "Josu got hit twice... in the leg..." " He gave me your address." " How is he?" "Not good..." "He lost a lot of blood." " Where did you take him?" " To a hideout." "Did any of them know it?" "I don't know..." "What do you mean?" "Did they or didn't they?" " Maybe one did..." " I'm coming..." "We're in a blue Citroen, at the corner..." "I'll be right there!" "I'll go." "What will you do?" "There's no point in you going." " Let's not argue!" " Sweetie..." "You can't help." "Let me go!" "Please..." "Sweetie, let me go!" "I'll drop Guille off and come right back." "See you when you finish." "Why not stay at the country?" " No, I'll come back and get you." " We don't come back here." "Got it?" "Understood." "Where shall we meet?" "In Retiro, at the bar, after 10 every 2 hours."

" No!" "I just took the cyanide pill!" "When you got out..." "You didn't go home, did you?" "No..." "Paco and I were supposed to meet in Retiro." "A while ago... the radio said there was a shooting in town, in a hotel  yesterday afternoon." "They killed him." "It seems it was at the Hotel Residencial..." "A stray bullet, during a clash with the militia..." "He happened to be there..." "His colleague announced it..." "You should have heard him!" " Hello mommy!" " Hello my love!" "Where were you?" "You took so long." "I know, darling..." "You lied!" "You didn't come blow the candles!" " Will you forgive me?" " Yes..." " Nobody came!" " What do you mean?" "It wasjust Rosita and me!"
