The Boss (El encargado)

Welcome to Eliseo's empire.

for my new company, Basurto Integral Solutions.

Our pillars are efficiency,

security, organization, and, above all, low cost.

Hey, enjoy your meal, you little glutton.

Mmm!

I'm feeling a bit dizzy.

I'm looking for my laptop, and I can't find it.

Your what?

You don't know who you messed with, you bastard!

Eliseo.

Clarita.

You're still the same old bastard.

Likewise.

Give me a kiss.

Eliseo, you bastard.

I think your time has come.

We're from the domestic violence victims program.

Who filed this report?

Eliseo.

I want him dead.

Done.

I hereby resign from union representation.

It would be best to define a zone to operate freely.

Outside of here, nothing.

I'll be the super. And what will you do with the office?

Hi, Fifi.

Mr. Basurto, the President will see you now.

This way.

Eliseo!

Mr. President.

Sorry to keep you waiting, but I've had a crazy day.

You know how it is, right?

Of course, please...

Thank you very much for the invitation, sir.

No, on the contrary.

Have a seat. Make yourself comfortable.

I wanted to meet you

since I saw the union's operation against you.

They're complicated.

You have to know how to handle them.

But you positioned yourself very well in Congress.

You defended what was yours with conviction.

Yes, I wasn't going to let myself be intimidated by those rude people.

See? I like that about you. You're a real loose cannon.

You have no idea

how much someone with your profile is needed here.

I'm surrounded by fake people.

They say one thing to your face, then stab you in the back.

And, excuse my intrusion, why not...

You can't govern without structure.

This country is ungovernable.

Maybe...

I don't know, in Norway,

they gather a group of decent people and manage well.

Not here.

Here you need the good ones and the shameless ones.

I prefer to operate locally, with my feet in the mud.

That's because you work and live in the same place.

To get around,

I need huge logistics that make me not want to go out.

- Sure. -

My dream is to have an ice cream in peace,

but I'm stuck here.

It seems this is working, so...

Good morning. How are you?

Good morning, Mr. President.

This is Eliseo, a friend. I'm showing him around.

- Hello. - Hi.

This is Dario Pittaluga, my chief of staff.

- Nice to meet you. - Likewise.

What were you discussing?

Feel free to speak. Eliseo can be trusted.

We were defining how to apply the security protocol

for tomorrow's protests in front of Congress.

It seems they'll mobilize over fifty thousand people.

It's going to be a big protest.

My God.

The operation includes closing ten blocks

around the central point of the march.

In addition, five thousand officers will be deployed.

Will that be enough?

I think so. Everything will be fine.

Excuse me. What's the cost of the police operation?

You can answer.

Uh... I don't know, it's...

hard to give an exact number,

but officers' hourly pay is expensive.

We have to add overtime, meals, fuel, supplies.

And then there's cleanup.

Fifty thousand people make a huge mess.

Exactly.

About two hundred million pesos.

That's the problem. When protesters are face-to-face with the police,

-it's already too late. -

You have to prevent them from leaving home.

They need to stay comfortable.

To do that, you need to renovate homes, Mr. President.

Install heating and air conditioning,

TVs of at least sixty-five inches,

good internet.

It's like giving a baby a pacifier.

- Look, Elías... -Eliseo.

Eliseo.

It's not that simple.

If throwing money away fixed everything,

the world would be perfect.

But you're already throwing money away.

You're just throwing it in the wrong place.

What I propose is encouraging consumption,

strengthening industry and creating jobs.

-It's a virtuous cycle, right? -

Careful, he might be right.

Think about it. Shall we go?

Have a great day.

- Let's go. - Good day.

Well, it was a pleasure meeting you.

The pleasure was mine, Mr. President.

I'd really like to have someone like you,

with that unique perspective,

bringing me pragmatic, disruptive solutions like you did.

If you want, I can put you on the President's Advisory Council.

Thank you very much, Mr. President, but...

I've never liked politics.

- I don't see... -But I see you.

Thank you, sir, but I'm a superintendent.

And I will be until the day I die.

My building needs me.

You know how it is: every ship has its captain.

I understand.

But there aren't many people in this country with your ideas.

So please think about it.

All right. And thank you for the invitation, sir.

No, please. It was a pleasure.

It was a pleasure. Bye.

Cone or popsicle, sir?

- What? -The ice cream.

Cone, always. Tramontana.

Perfect.

Come this way. Follow me, please.

THE BOSS 4

It's very important to keep our company's merchandising up to date.

Take a look at the new products.

The raincoats, look how beautiful they are. Luxury.

Prices upon request.

- - Yes, Martucha.

Do you offer installment plans?

Of course. We accept debit, credit, and bank transfers.

But with a thirty percent markup.

- Yes, of course. - Well,

shall we reveal this month's winner?

- - Shall we?

Do you have your numbers? All right, let's go.

Here it comes. Here it is.

Oh!

Ninety-nine.

Me, here!

-Congratulations! - Thank you, thank you.

-Mine is ninety-nine too. - That can't be.

Carranza, nine...

No, Carranza, there's a mark under the number.

Yours is sixty-six.

Sorry, sorry.

Keep participating.

Well, congratulations! Here's the gift.

-Oh, thank you. - Show it to your coworkers.

Look at this.

It's a tissue box holder.

Very useful.

-Thank you, Eliseo. -No, please.

Thank you very much.

Well, I want to thank you all, especially Eliseo, for this way of...

No, no speeches. No. Sit down. No speeches.

Well, now yes,

this will be a gift for all of you.

It's the gift of self-sufficiency.

I notice all the time that you rely too much on Daddy Eliseo.

You ask everything: Did I do this right? Did I do that wrong? Enough.

You need autonomy, to make your own decisions.

After you decide, you come to me, I evaluate and see if I agree or not.

-All right? - Yes, Eliseo.

Perfect. Remember: a man is not what he says, but...

What he does.

And we don't have dreams, we have...

Goals.
