HENRY KISSINGER
U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE

Isabel!

EL PRESIDENTE: CORRUPTION GAME

ADIDAS HEADQUARTERS
GERMANY

Excuse me, were you talking to me?

Here.
Always hold the neck.

See?

Support his head while you hold him.

Grandma's little baby.

Come to Papa.

Thanks for the lesson, Bebel.

Grandpa is here.

Grandpa?

Where is grandpa's little baby? Where is...

Look how cute he is! My goodness.

Thank you.

He's so cute, isn't he?

He's the spitting image of his grandpa.
A little Havelange.

I brought a little gift for mommy.

Chocolate.

I also have chocolate...

for the cutest grandma in Rio de Janeiro.

A first-timer.

But that's not all. I also got...

the most important thing of all.

The jersey of the most charming club
on the west side.

My dear Bangu's jersey.

He's 6.2 pounds, just like Vitória was.

Are you coming?

I sent a gift.

Has it arrived?

Listen, I have some business to do here.

Give my best to Vitória.

I'll call her later. Okay?

Bye.

Congratulations, João.

Meanwhile, Castor,
with the help of the military,

managed to get into the CBD...

How are you doing?

...creating an innovative commission.

How are you doing, Castor?

So, as Rocha was saying,

I'm here to make CBD
as transparent as possible.

That means don't do anything
without my supervision.

What wonderful news!

It seems Argentina
is finally moving forward.

In Argentina, the armed forces have
taken control of the government.

Käser was doing everything he could
to prevent Rohr from insuring the Cup.

After Adi's death,

the husbands of the other four sisters
took control of Adidas.

Thanks. You heard it yourselves.
They will continue working on the issue.

We will follow up.

From FIFA's headquarters in Switzerland,
this is Sergio Jadue.

How can I calm down?

The deal was a huge World Cup.
You don't want to spend a dime!

What do you expect?
After the coup, this is above me.

I'll solve it. Don't worry.

Honey, do you remember our trip to France?

We used to order room service,

and they'd bring beautiful meals.

But we realized they tasted awful.

It feels the same here.

I miss you here,
laughing with me, by my side.

Jean-Marie, we need to talk.

I've been through a storm alone
for the first time,

without you by my side.

It is a difficult time for everyone.

It's been hard for me as well, adapting.

You don't want to give Zurich
a second chance?

I just moved to a much nicer hotel.

No, darling. No.

I belong here.

With my things,
my daughter and my grandson.

Rico won't get to know his grandfather.

At least Grandma is around.

You know I think of him every day.

Are you coming to his baptism?

Or are you still busy?

I'll do my best to be there, honey.

You know family is my priority.

It's a matter of survival.

It's our right.

DIVORCE AND RIGHTS
FOR WOMEN

And we will do whatever we can

to convince each of the congressmen.

This law is not optional.

It's a basic right

to make decisions about our own lives.

Divorce is freedom!

Divorce is freedom!

I thought you'd be planning the baptism.

I'm glad you came, Bebel.
Regardless of what people might say.

We don't see a woman like you
here very often.

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Would you make a public speech?

Speaking in public is not my thing.

But I promise I'll figure out
a way to help you.

These were times
of transformation in Brazil.

The military government
began to lose some of its power,

and women began to discuss
their right to divorce.

Meanwhile, things were
also changing at FIFA.

Havelange was starting a new era for FIFA.

As my grandma used to say,

if you want something done right,
do it yourself.

If I help them out,
I'll make some extra cash.

These Swiss are really weird.

In Chile, we would grill the sheep.

You have to be more discreet!

Look, I don't understand

all these women asking for divorce laws.

This bunch of ugly girls.

A bunch of girls with mustaches.

Don't be ridiculous.
You don't get the point.

This is about being able...

to make our own decisions.

It's about having choices.

Imagine...

if your husband knows you're tied to him,
no matter what happens,

there is no way to negotiate, is there?

You look so pretty
when you talk like this.

So pretty.

So hot.

You know?

Castor...

Would you be able to help us
persuade some congressmen?

Yes, I could.

Really?

I could do a lot of things for you.

A lot.

- Rovirosa.
- It's Havelange. What do you recommend?

Is there a legal way to run
a World Cup without insurance?

- Impossible.
- How so?

Do you know any insurance company
in Brazil we could try?

Look, Mr. Havelange,
let me put it this way.

Do you remember
the Munich Olympic Games years ago?

A t*rror1st group kidnapped
and k*lled 11 Israeli athletes.

The insurance company, in that case
the German government itself,

had to pay a compensation
of three million dollars

to each athlete's family.

Compare the control Germany had
with what Argentina might have.

Then you can imagine what might happen.

This is clearly a declaration of w*r.

With this low blow,

the Europeans began
to put their master plan in motion.

They wanted one thing.
Send the Brazilian back to Brazil.

It's a Copa América! f*ck!

Calm down, Salinas.

This whole section here

is for my Imperatriz Leopoldinense,

the samba school I love.

This entire place.

Back there
will be Bangu's training center.

This is a huge piece of land.

- This place is amazing.
- Isn't it?

Yeah.

This is pretty much my Disneyland.

Not Disneyland.

It's my Castorland.

What's this?

What's that?

I know a lot of congressmen.

And when I say I know them,
I mean I know them well.

I know about their dirty tricks.
I know about their scams...

I know how they play dirty.

Did I do my homework well or not?

Nobody knew that João had paid a visit
to his friend Paco.

Going straight to the point,

if you insist on hosting it in Spain,

my brother is ready to tell everyone
what happened between you.

Is your family ready to know about this?

João, good and bad news.

The good is that Spain gave up
on hosting it.

The bad is that they already have
a new candidacy. Italy.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to land
in the city of Buenos Aires.

A bloody dictatorship,

people disappearing,

the kidnapping of babies,
repression and t*rture.

OMAR ACTIS - NEW MILITARY MAN
IN CHARGE OF THE WORLD CUP

Promise them, you wuss.

You've always been a wuss.

And you've always had
problems with authority.

But I am the authority now.

Come on! Unless we finish this TV station,
there's no World Cup.

Do you want
a FIFA from the future, or not?

Do we have to call João
and have him build it?

Do we have to do everything around here?

It's ridiculous.

Havelange,

you finally decided
to see the best of our country.

Argentinian meat.

Export quality.

Go on.

If you want the Cup to happen,
you'll have to insure it yourselves.

Some Olympic Games venues have done it.

Tell that to that as*h*le Actis.

It's impossible to have a World Cup
on these terms. I got you everything...

Sponsors, the solution to the insurance,

and I've just realized you are a nobody
in this game. Nobody.

You know what?

Go f*ck yourself, as*h*le!

All of you f*ck!

f*ck you!

I'm done with all this sh*t, okay?
I'm sick of this bullshit.

- I'll take the World Cup somewhere else.
- Sit the f*ck down!

We'll make things move.

I know how to make Actis understand.

In the meantime, enjoy the show.

U.S. EMBASSY
BUENOS AIRES

Havelange went to see
a powerful football fan

to ask for some advice that would help him
to put the Cup back on track.

Good old Kissinger helped João
k*ll several birds with one stone.

He knew how to ask for advice.

Favors come, favors go.

Favors here, favors there.

FERNANDO ALBUQUERQUE
CONGRESSMAN AGAINST DIVORCE

No, no way.

You can't ask me to do this, Mr. Castor.

My reputation is at stake.
I value traditional family and religion.

Excuse me, my friend.

Fernandinho...

This friend of mine is crazy about poker.

She is almost as crazy about it as you.

So it crossed my mind,

to schedule a game with her
just to keep her quiet,

and tell her that if

by any chance, she beats you,

then you'll vote for her cause.

What if I win?

You can start thinking
of anything you want.

Fine. Anything for my friend.

Deal.

Bravo!

Congratulations.

Congressman Silva.

I vote no.

Congressman Lima.

I vote yes.

Congressman Albuquerque.

I vote...

Yes, Mr. President.

The divorce law is approved.

Hooray!

The decision has already been made.
And it's above your rank.

The country won't insure the Cup.
We can't afford it.

Understood?

Understood.

UN
UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION

When everything was falling into place

and the future FIFA was ready to shine,

the shitty Europeans came again
to put obstacles in the path.

And João was up against the ropes.

But he was willing to risk it all
to win this battle.

- Rovirosa.
- I know what to do. I'll insure the Cup.

What do I need to do
to turn Wesbra into an insurance company?

No, I wouldn't recommend that.

As the president of an institution,
you can't hire a company without bidding.

What kind of bidding is it
if no freaking insurance company wants it?

The bidding is over.

There's the financial risk, and you could
face serious criminal charges.

I'm not asking for your opinion.
I want to know what I need to do?

Wesbra...

It's in Barbosa's name.

If you are really willing to do that,
you would need...

a signed consent from your wife.

Got it.

I'll go there. Pick me up at the airport
with everything I need.

And dress up.
We are going go to my grandson's baptism.

Buy a teddy bear or something, okay?

A pink one?

His name is Ricardo, damn it. He's a boy.

You have the paperwork for Argentina
to hire us as the insurer.

I have Wesbra's and Barbosa's paperwork,
like you asked.

But I have to warn you. This is insane.

If anything goes wrong,
all your assets could vanish.

Know any great accomplishments
that didn't involve some risk?

Now Isabel will stamp these papers,

then you send them right away
to Argentina.

Sweetheart!

Dad!

My princess.

Thanks for coming!

- Did you ever doubt me?
- Never.

Son, every time I see you at church,
you have a suitcase.

I hope it's a donation to the church.

I told you I'd come.

Let me hold him.

Come here.

- Go to your grandpa.
- Hey...

So good.

These sinners come to the Lord's house
to atone for their sins,

so I hope you're not offended
if I keep the change

How cute!

Thank you, Mom.

What's going on?

My love, I need you to sign some papers.

What is this about?
Are these authorizations? For what?

To organize my assets
that were in your father's name.

- Your assets?
- Yeah.

Are they yours or ours?

Or mine?

Now I know why you came.

I won't sign it.

I need to take a closer look at it
and talk to a lawyer.

Honey, come on.
There's no need for a lawyer.

Baby, we're married, aren't we?

Yes, we are.

But we could no longer be.

My father left it to me.

Mom, what is this about?

You're not getting a divorce, are you?

Don't spoil this party
with one of your fits.

Daddy does everything for us.

And now you deny the only thing he asks?

- Really?
- Sign the papers, Isabel.

With all the decisions I took
in this house, I never failed. Never.

Really? Are you sure?

Tell me. What did you miss?

You.

Listen...

Our name is at stake here.

Our family's, our daughter's,
mine, yours, our grandson's.

Just do whatever you want.

He took everything from me.
My possibility to be free.

I'm not sure it's like that.

The concept of freedom is relative.

When something is yours,
nobody can take it from you.

If your only concern is money,

I can assure you, you'll have enough.

Don't worry.

We can talk about this later.

João, what are you getting yourself into?
