The Master of Silence (Dirijorul tacerilor)

No more communism!

Wow!

That's not a bas-relief.

That's another technique…

How do they call it, man? It's a special technique.

A fancy artistry, anyway.

Stop scratching! You'll break down the wall.

Built in '25, by the Russi family, French origins.

Oh, the Russi family.

Established in Bucharest around 1800…

the architect: Petre Antonescu.

Are you crazy, man! You know who this guy is?

-Well? -He's a super big balls dude.

He did the Arch of Triumph. Among other things

-Did he? -Yeah, he did.

And the engineer's name is…

Armand Lazaride.

So funny!

-Related to Lazaride you think? -The old guy downstairs?

-Right. -Who knows?

-Sgraffito! -What?

That's how they call it. The technique.

But who's the young lady here?

Pics, pics…

Pics, pics…

can't find any photo of them.

She's probably a relative, or some friend.

Why would she be on the walls, otherwise?

Not necessarily.

These houses hide stories that make your hair stand on end.

My hair doesn't stand on end.

I know, babe. You feel fascinated.

Well, yeah…

OK.

Great.

Bye, Radu.

Eat your food. Your dad is late.

Cosminel?

Cosminel, are you listening?

Put the phone away and finish your food.

Please.

C'mon.

Put that thing away!

Stressed again, boss?

Would you like me to make the stress go away?

Better now?

Mimisor.

Yeah?!

You have to reschedule the meeting with the Build Construct owners tomorrow

and also the staff meeting…

Did you jot it down?

Stop them!

Stop them!

Stop them!

STOP THEM!

…of the events that come their way,

They don't really know what's important and what's not,

they can't decide which way to channel their efforts

and can't decide what they should give up.

But this period should be seen

as a learning phase and as an accumulation of experience.

The week ahead does not in itself too many elements…

Shut up, it's about the Aquarius now!

Check this out! What do you see?

…that natives can take advantage of accordingly with their sign.

It's you. The younger you!

And?

And your minds were still in your head. Jesus Christ!

What came into you?

There! They moved to Pisces and I lost the ending.

STOP THEM!

Did you see?

Yeah. Good financial opportunities for you.

The planets are in certain zodiac signs that favor unexpected gains.

Pleasant financial surprises…

I go shopping tomorrow.

Want something?

Sure. Take these, please.

Be careful, don't lose them!

…can cause an exacerbation of personal feelings for Pisces,

but also a twisting of the collective consciousness.

Come on, daddy. You promised me a story.

All right, but a short one.

The Jonah story.

That's not short.

You can split it into episodes, right?

Right. But you got to promise me you'll go to sleep after that, OK?

-OK. -So…

Once upon a time, there lived a man whose name was Jonah.

And, one day, God ordered him to go to a big city,

where--

Why was he called Jonah?

Well, we have discussed that already, haven't we?

We had a common consent about it.

What's a "common consent"?

A common consent is when two people agree to--

Sorry.

Yeah… I'll be right with you.

Yes.

Good morning, Mr. Lazaride! How are you today?

I'm all right, thanks.

-You got the magazines, right? -Yeah, I did.

Keep myself in the loop, what can I say.

Tell me, Mr Marinescu, what's all about this trial?

Another subpoena. Here, I just got it.

What am I supposed to do?

Give it to Attorney Stoianov?

Of course. You don't need to worry.

Well, I don't. Except I do.

I've spent months in the Archives for that research.

Yeah, right.

You should have been given a quicker access there.

After all, it was your father who devised the blueprints, wasn't he?

My father?! He didn't devise anything.

He was an engineer. He just built this house.

It's… it's just I'm never told much, you know.

Please do not worry.

I'm telling you, we shall win this case.

Stop all the Archives actions;

don't bother anymore, it's Marius who takes care of everything.

He's an outstanding lawyer and my best friend, too.

Besides, this new guy who claims to be the legal successor

he's actually a fraud.

Yes, right. Too many frauds in this country.

By far too many. And too much incompetence, either.

I'm scared, you see.

If some big shot out there targeted this house, then it's already his.

Everything is possible today. Especially here. In Romania.

Hello…

No need to worry, it's not that bad.

Told you, we can pull some strings, too.

Consider it done.

Good morning.

Catch up later.

-Hi, Matei. -Hi. You got the German stuff?

Yeah, I got them all.

I'll borrow them tonight, when I come over and install the Wi-Fi device for you.

I'll give you our password too, and you'll have internet. For free!

-Really? -It's a bonus.

Mister Marinescu!

-May we pay the rent on 15th this month? -Sorry?

I say, may we pay the rent on 15th this month?

It's my first pay day at this company I work for.

No problem, guys. Whenever you can.

-Okay? -Okay.

Good morning, Lilisor.

Hugs to you, Mr Voicu. How's it going, fine all right?

Fine!

You know, I do the guys upstairs today,

but I can come and do you too, after that, if I still can.

Well, no rush. If it's not today, it will be some other time…

Let me see how it goes.

Gotta work now.

Well, good luck, Lilisor.

And good it is!

Take care, sir.

Morning! Have a look! Everything fresh!

A carp to souse.

STOP THEM!

STOP THEM!

How's Stela?

Sorry. She's fine.

And Cosminel?

He's okay. Like a cat on hot bricks.

He's got a personality!

This place, it looks like… something!

Yeah, a nice spot to make your day in the morning.

Good for your vigour, you know.

I do. What I don't know is why you refused to meet me in my office.

Here, your property file, for the apartment above.

Everything is in there: the contract, the cadastre, the registration,

all the papers.

It's all yours.

Enjoy it!

Marius…

you're so damn cool!

You owe me one!

I owe you several.

You won over the Government.

If you win over these losers who claim to be the legal heirs…
