WATCHES, COINS

ANNOUNCER 1:
Argentina won decisively last night.

ANNOUNCER 2:
Yes, though I'm still upset about the way

Brazil beat us in the previous match.

ANNOUNCER 1: And the violent incidents.

-It was a big mess.
-ANNOUNCER 2: Yes, but that's done.

ARGENTINA IN WORLD CUP

We won, so we can enjoy things now.
We have a team...

-that could fight for the title.
-ANNOUNCER 1: I think you're right.

-Let's hear the analysis of...
-So?

Can't you pay a little more?

Not one more peso... If you want to,
look around and you'll realize

nobody is going
to pay you better than I will.

("Live is Life" by Opus plays)

It's okay.

Wally.

-So? Did you buy it?
-LUCHO: I'm on it, wait.

Give me 15 minutes.

-Come on, I'm hungry.
-I'll bring you something.

WALLY: Well, hurry up because we're
getting a thousand silly questions here.

No, I’ll go now. Don't touch anything
and try not to insult anyone.

THE STOLEN CUP

("Live is Life" by Opus plays)

SALESWOMAN: You came back!

Let's do it.

Good. You were...
Buenaventura, Luciano.

-Right?
-Yes.

Yes, it was two tickets for the flight,
hotel, group pass,

and eighth-finals tickets.
All of them for two people, correct?

-Correct.
-And the reservation is 50% in cash.

-Eh...
-Yes, yes.

("Live is Life" by Opus plays)

-Good.
-There it is.

WALLY: I could’ve paid for an online
course and done it myself.

MOIRA: Oh, ok.

I held my breath for like
20 minutes or so.

DARÍO: Ok, that’s it.

-Are you done?
-Yes.

An hour and a half to
install an antivirus.

The antivirus part was fast.

I spent a lot of time doing a sweep of
your quite controversial search history,

I can show you if you like.

-Don't mess with my stuff, please.
-MOIRA: That's his job, Wally.

No, it's not his job to mess
with my stuff.

Believe me, I'm doing you a favor.

Come on, just finish it.

How did it go?

(Lucho sighs)

I've booked the trip packages.

Great! That's amazing,
he won't believe it.

I want to tell him now. It was a stretch.

-No, it's a great plan.
-(Lucho swallows)

Forget about the
money, you'll earn it back!

-Do you have the numbers?
-Of the smart TVs?

Andrés, my promo worked, huh?

Oh, spectacularly.

Did anything happen?

No, no, no, I'm a little worried about
the sanction, but it will be fine,

we are Argentina.
Very good job, guys, huh? Thank you.

(applause)

PRESENTER: Well, now we are going
to pass the mic to the kids,

so they can tell us which their
favorite national heroes are.

San Martín.
(applause)

Sarmiento.
(applause)

Belgrano.
(applause)

Bilardo.
(applause cuts off)

LUCHO: How was your day?

SEBASTIÁN: I wasted
a lot of time practicing for that.

LUCHO: Mh-hmm.

The only good thing is that, well, did
you see the Cup is coming to Argentina?

-My classmates and I want to go see it.
-I had no idea.

Yeah, it's going to be a Cup tour.

What's the matter?

LUCHO: Nothing. There's something I wanted
to tell you when we got home,

but I just can’t help myself.

(sighs)

You’re scaring me.

Oh, you can chill, buddy, it's good news,
actually, very good news.

We are going to the World Cup.
We are going to the World Cup together.

-Stop teasing me! Is that for real?
-LUCHO: One hundred percent.

Come on, that’s amazing, it’s awesome!
Come on, come on, dammit!

I love you, Dad, I love you.

I love you more.

Those sneakers look a little small on you.

Yeah.

(grunts)

How long is the trip?

Long enough, I guess. Several hours owing
to flight connections. Several hours.

-WALLY: Hey.
-BÁRBARA: Hmm?

Lucho showed me our sales figures today.

-BÁRBARA: And?
-Almost three thousand smart TVs.

-No way!
-WALLY: Way!

Our team will get a huge commission.

And if Argentina does not make
it to the World Cup,

you’ll get your smart TV...
for free! Tecnoshock.

BOTH: For free! Tecnoshock.

(Barbara laughs)

The sky's the limit, babe!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

NEIGHBOR 1: I can't believe it!
Screw this!

-NEIGHBOR 2: Those sons of b*tches!
-NEIGHBOR 1: It's unfair!

NEIGHBOR: No!

NEIGHBOR: That son of a b*tch!

(car alarm goes off)

(incomprehensible screams)

NEIGHBOR: No! I can't believe this sh*t!!

(dog barks)

(suspenseful music)

What's the matter?

LUCHO: I don't know.

ANNOUNCER 1:
Moments ago the Association...

ANNOUNCER 2:
...made the decision known...

MANILA: It was a decision we made together
after pondering on it for a long time.

BREAKING NEWS: MANILA SPEAKS OUT

We are a transparent organization
that has always sought Fair Play.

The acts of violence committed by the
Argentine public in the penultimate

qualifying match against Brazil were
abhorred by the entire world.

Fans ran onto the field, there was
aggression and destruction...

therefore we have agreed that the
National Team will be sanctioned

with a deduction of points.

Unfortunately, Argentina is
disqualified from the next World Cup.

It will be replaced by the country with
the highest, closest score,

which is Chile. Chile is now an official
competitor for the cup.

(ambient music)

(screams)
(car horn blares)

(chaotic noise)

(screams)

(camera clicks)

ARGENTINA OUT OF WORLD CUP

MAN: No! I can't believe it! No, no!

Chi, chi, chi! Le, le, le!

-Let's go, Chile!
-(cries)

MAN: It was just obvious that...

WOMAN: They can go to hell,
that bunch of idiots!

MAN: Those sons of b*tches!

-Stop! What are you doing?
-(screams)

(aggressive yelling)

Go to hell!

CUT OFF AT THE KNEES:
GOODBYE WORLD CUP

-WOMAN: Go f*ck yourself!
-MAN: I need you to calm down.

-WOMAN: It's always us they screw over!
-MAN: Stop, stop!

WOMAN: Where the hell are they?

Shut up.

You're asking me to calm down
after all that happened?

They screw us over. We lost.
Yes... Calm down, calm down.

Calm down? Calm down? Calm down?

I don't need to calm down!
I don't need to calm down!

Huh? Here... No!

Did they f*ck with you too?
Don’t bother, they won’t answer it.

Can't you see they disappeared?
They won’t answer it.

WOMAN: It's always us workers that
suffer!

-Wait, stop!
-Bunch of cowards!

ANNOUNCER: And if Argentina does not
make it to the World Cup,

your smart TV is free.
Yes, free!

-But you have the tickets, right?
-No. No, I only have this paper.

I'm going to talk to Victor
to see what he has to say about it, but...

Great idea, genius.

-Andrés is going to fire me.
-He'll fire all of us.

-I can't afford to lose this job.
-There must be a legal remedy.

(hits)

(grunts and groans)

(mysterious music)

MAN 1: Andrés, I have a great promo
for the World Cup.

MAN 2: That promo ruined us.

MAN 3: We'll never pay back that money.

WOMAN: It's a lot of money.
We'll go bankrupt, Andrés.

MAN 1: Andrés, I have a great promo
for the World Cup.

-MAN 2: We're going bankrupt, Andrés.
-WOMAN: We'll go bankrupt, Andrés.

MAN 3: That smart TV promo...

(voices fade away)

(chimes)
(laughs)

I gotta go. You guys, keep me in
the loop. Oh, Wally, I have yours here.

To the warehouse.

It was like hell on earth, look.

Yesterday, I had an argument
with my boyfriend,

we said everything we had to
say to each other.

We’re living in a state of sheer madness.

Here.

Oh! You're such a lifesaver.
I've been so anxious recently.

Yeah, I could only imagine.

HUGO: Looks like today
will be my last day.

-What?
-The World Cup thing hit us hard.

No, Hugo, not you, don't f*ck with me.

These sons of b*tches, they always
sacrifice the oldest one first.

That's how wrong Western culture is.

-Oh, I want to die.
-Easy, Wally, calm down.

Don’t, please. Forgive me for asking it
in such a Western manner, but...

what the hell are you going
to do now at your age?

Spending more time with my granddaughter,
sunbathing, who knows?

-Maybe I'll go back to my old job.
-MAN: Hugo!

-Never back down.
-Never surrender.

MAN: Let's go, ninja!

(whispers) This guy was my hero, I used to
watch him on TV when I was a kid and now,

I made him lose his job?

It's not your fault, Wally.
Your smart TV idea was good.

(keyboard clicking)

(telephone rings)

Victor, can I ask you a
question? It’ll be just a minute.

No, not now, Luciano.

It’ll be just a minute of your time,
please.

I can't right now, Luciano.

ANDRÉS: Lucho...
(mysterious music)

Listen to me, Víctor told me that
they are going to freeze all our accounts,

the truth is that I would need someone
trustworthy to go to the bank right now,

so I thought of you, can you go there and
retrieve those papers?

Yes, yes, yes, of course.

I already told the manager
you're going to drop by.

I really appreciate it. As you can see,
I'm not feeling very well. Thank you.

(upbeat music)

-Excuse me...
-WOMAN: It's okay.

-How are you?
-TELLER: How are you? Hello... Mh-hmm.

I’m here on behalf of Tecnoshock, I have
a meeting scheduled with the manager.

TELLER: Perfect. Is he waiting for you?
(bangs)

-Yes, yes. He's wait--
-ROBBER 1: Everybody get to the ground!

Give me the money!
Give me the box!

Everyone get to the ground!

Come on, to the ground!
Did you hear me?

ROBBER 2: Come on!
Fast, fast, fast! Fast, fast, fast...

Everybody to the ground!
To the ground, I said!

ROBBER 3: Come on, come on! To the ground!
Come on, come on, come on!

ROBBER 1:
Do what I say, and no one will get hurt.

ROBBER 3: To the ground, m*therf*cker.

No, don't look at me.

Fafarelli?

Fafa, it’s you!
It’s Lucho, Lucho Buenaventura.

Give me your wallet, now!

Listen to me, I have no money, Fafa,
at least let me keep my ID.

(hits)

(g*nsh*t)

(blood spatters)

(g*nshots)

(screams)

Thank you.

WALLY: Are you sure it was him?

When he gets nervous, he stutters.
It was him.

What a piece of sh*t!

And to think I used to help him with his
homework.

-Do you have his phone number?
-No, I think I have him on Facebook.

Lucho... if you want me to help you
find the money, just say the word.

Thanks, Wally. Really. I'm okay,
I'll recover from this.

RODRÍGUEZ: (on TV) Not only
as a soccer player, but as a citizen.

They stole our dream, it's very sad. When
the sanction was discussed,

we thought it would be monetary. The truth
is this is outrageous. Right?

They are crushing the hopes
of 40 million people.

And we had to find out about it on TV.
It's very hard, really.

JOURNALIST:
Did they cut off our legs?

Our legs, our arms,
and the hopes of all Argentines.

JOURNALIST:
That was Max Rodriguez for...

All of it is Manila’s doing. His dream is
to reach the Presidency of the Federation,

whatever the cost. And since everyone
there has skeletons in their closets,

and he’s coming with strong-armed speech,

plus a clean slate as his icing on the
cake, he is going to eat them alive.

-He is the Hitler of soccer.
-(scoffs) The guy's a scumbag, but Hitler?

I know. What I mean is, the guy hates us.

Third world, immoral, cheaters...

They will never understand our mischief.
Our will to fight against the system,

and we must use it because if they screw
us up once,

they're going to keep
screwing us up over and over again...

...but, I say it’s enough, man, enough.
They screw us over here;

they screw us over there and we all have
been taking this sh*t quietly.

We put up with corruption,
we put up with inflation,

we put up with
the price of the dollar skyrocketing,

we let them keep our money...

...we work to pay off a never-ending debt
we owe these shitty billionaires,

and now this.

We are out of the World Cup, huh?

Just when we actually
had a chance to win it.

And they don’t care that there are
families who are going to be homeless

because of it.
These guys stole our people's joy.

And here you are, in a bar,
sitting on your a*s.

Well, at least I say it how it is,
and I take responsibility for it,

unlike you and your journalist friends
who say nothing at all

and choose to remain silent. And who says
we won't do anything about it?

What are you going to do? Are you going to
go out on the streets with a sign

to protest or post it to your Instagram
feed? It is what is, guys, we lost.

Because of that same old attitude and
because of a couple of assholes

who burned everything down, all is lost.

Since you know their ways, what are the
odds they'll remove the sanctions?

Forget about it, Lucho.
It’s not happening.

There has to be a way.

The only good thing is that thanks to
you, I have a free new TV.

Stop it, you piece of sh*t.

(laughing)

Hi, Sebas.

-SEBASTIÁN: Hi.
-LUCHO: Hi, neighbor.

Hello, are you ok? You were on TV.

-VECINA: About the bank robbery.
-Oh.

-I'm fine, thanks.
-Lucho, you have a cut.

Yes, I put some ice on it.

Yeah, but blood is running down your ear.
Don't you want me to take a look at it?

No, no. Seriously, thanks.

You have no idea how people are feeling
wandering the streets.

There is anguish, anger, and impotence
surrounding us.

-Manila, you broke our hearts.
-Yes. Everyone is like, losing it.

I’ve never felt like this in my life,
well, it didn't happen, really,

it didn't happen. How is he going to show
his face here?

How dare you think of coming to Argentina?
He wants to come and see.

It almost seems like a provocation...
Manila.

PANELIST: Who? Who are they going
to bring? Who is going to come?

-Manila?
-Yes.

If he comes here, he's dead.
I mean... If he walks through...

PANELIST: No, stop it, stop it, stop it!
Let's think about why this is happening.

We also must take
our share of the blame for it, or else...

It's over, isn't it?

What do you mean?

All my friends were right.
We are not going to go to the World Cup.

I got my hopes up for nothing.

The fans are feeling like sh*t today!

They screwed us over.

Kiddo, I'm going to do everything
possible, everything in my power.

(TV Panelists continuing argument)

(TV goes silent)
(Lucho breathes deeply)

I could get tickets
to see the Cup, if you want.

If they are expensive,
don't even buy them.

No, let me take a look first...
Let's turn in, it's late.

-I'm not sleepy, can I use the computer?
-Yes, but don't stay up until late.

Give me a kiss.

Come here.

-Everything will be all right. Hmm?
-Hmm.

Go and play.

Do your best.

(relaxed music)

ANNOUNCER: The only place
where you can see the Cup

during its stay in Argentina.

If you buy your tickets
with one of these credit cards...

FAN 1: I don't know why they
didn't cancel this stupid tour.

FAN 2: No, they say this way we can heal
the wound. If so, give the tickets away.

Have you seen how much they cost?

First, they take us out of the World Cup,
and now they take our money.

(intense music)

MANILA: Unfortunately, Argentina is
disqualified from the next World Cup.

WALLY: ...they're going to keep
screwing us up over and over again...

-LUCHO: We are going to the World Cup.
-SEBASTIÁN: They screwed us over.

LUCHO: Kiddo, I'm going to do everything
possible, everything in my power.

(whistle blows)
(audience cheers)

-Really, man? On a Saturday?
-You were right.

At the bar... you were right. We can't
let ourselves get screwed like this.

Argentina must go to the World Cup.

What do you have in mind?

We're going to steal the World Cup.

(ambient music)
