Transactions.

It's all about transactions.

In any situation, meeting, relationship,

each person seeks something

The question is, what do they want?

Or rather, what do they think they want?

In most cases, it's pretty obvious.

You can see it in how they dress,

Most people reveal everything

That is, if you know how to read them.

Can we get a picture with you? Just one, please.

Imagine, for instance, an actress

What could she want?

She doesn't need more fame.

She doesn't need more money.

What she seeks is reparation.

To feel special again,

valuable, unique.

Now that we know what she wants,

the key is how can I use it

This is not what it looks like.

What do you mean?

Check the veining. It's too ordinary.

Real marble is impure by nature.

The deepest soil is compressed at extreme temperatures,

creating unpredictable patterns every time.

- Are you a designer? - Yes.

TOMÁS LANDETA LUXURY DESIGNER

For my clients, I like going straight to the source.

And where's that? Where's the source?

Golzinne, Belgium.

Soignies marble is,

so rare that you can only find it

in one or two underground quarries in the world.

There's nothing like it.

And you have a contact in Golzinne?

But he doesn't operate in the legitimate market.

There can't be any paperwork.

I'm not against breaking the rules,

but I'd like to see a sample.

While this is true, thinking exclusively

in transactional terms can be too cold,

clinical.

Human beings need something more.

A story to believe in.

We create characters for every situation.

But we screw up because we only focus on what we want.

In business and life,

we need to focus on the people in front of us.

XAVIER ESCALANTE ENTREPRENEUR GURU

At the end of the day,

Our wishes are mostly universal.

Throughout two weeks in my exclusive retreat for entrepreneurs,

I will teach you not only how to create stories,

but also how to mold them

in order to always, always, get what you want.

It's not hard to fill a room

with people who dream

If you don't pass, you'll get your money back.

and make them believe

See you there.

A secret only you can give them.

And secrets, of course, have a price.

Hey, Ana...

I saw you recording the session.

It's okay, but all in all, that's why the program costs what it costs.

Of course, I didn't think of that.

I'll delete it.

Hey.

They say the student usually surpasses the master.

Great job today, really.

Any scam requires

One who lies and one who believes.

Complicity is everything.

That voluntary suspension of disbelief.

Damascena.

A financial advisor

offering a lonely woman

and a reason to feel alive.

It's the least I can do after everything you did for me.

EDUARDO PINTO FINANCIAL ADVISOR

- Any news? - No, they covered their tracks

and it's almost impossible to find evidence on this type of embezzlement.

But it doesn't matter.

Don't worry. I'll get through this.

Of course you will.

And you have me for anything you need.

And you have me.

Knowing deep down

and deciding to keep believing anyway.

See you on Wednesday.

-There are no innocents in this game. -Eduardo.

No victims, no victimizers.

My house is yours for as long as you need it.

They are,

What's up, Chiro?

What? Where are you?

- Fuck! - Goddammit!

Okay, I'm coming. Bye.

Calm down.

- What happened? - It's just gas.

- Right? - Don't worry. It's normal.

Your sister is fine.

He said it's normal for first-time mothers.

- Okay. - But that next time, please,

I should call them before rushing over here.

Hey, I swear he enjoys scolding me.

We can change if you want.

No, it's not a big deal. He's very good, isn't he? I trust you.

Can you give me a ride to college?

- Shouldn't you rest? - I'm seeing my dissertation examiner.

How can you rest in that dump you live in?

By the way, I've paid a deposit for an apartment for both of us.

Temporarily.

- Is that so? - Yes.

- Where? - Buenos Aires, close to the university.

No.

The master's degree is four years. While you settle down...

I had said no already. I told you I would postpone it.

I don't know. Perhaps in a few years, I will be...

Living a life you didn't want.

- If Mom could, we can too. - Mom couldn't.

You just don't remember.

It's just temporary. I'll just be there until you settle in.

To make sure the baby is all right.

Besides, I have a job opportunity there I'm considering, and...

Really?

No way.

Do you have photos of the apartment?

Let's see.

How did we do with these guys?

Good enough.

They made a deposit today. We've cut their trusts considerably.

So what? Two of them didn't want to invest in a better future and all that shit?

If Chavy Hernandez's entrepreneurship course

- wasn't, well, basically, bullshit. - Xavier Escalante, dude.

- It's all the same, bro. - Shut up, man.

Shit. Whatever.

I can't believe they're such naive bastards.

I swear, I almost envy them.

What you envy is that they come from a rich family, man.

Why don't we have another go? Yes, let's charge double.

Two chefs instead of one. One more handsome than the other.

Dude, we don't do second rounds.

Not even with the actress?

- Jesus. - Come on, bro!

If I was you, I would happily do it again. Happily.

Good thing you're not me. You don't know when to stop.

By the way, did she pay for the marble?

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Well, man, then that's it.

Are you really leaving?

You're not thinking this through.

It's insurance season, dude. I have options for you.

An asshole has just insured a specific art piece

- for 20 million dollars. - No, enough. We shouldn't push our luck.

We have what we needed. Let's pack it up.

- We're done. - All right.

To hell with me, is that it?

If you want to keep going without me, go ahead.

Here it is.

The only problem is that my foreign affairs contact

raised their price.

Inflation, he says.

Even criminals are affected by this issue.

Sebastián.

- Didn't we use Sebastián already? - No.

Sergio, Santiago... Not Sebastián.

Delicious. These are perfectly done.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Eduardo, what's wrong?

They've found me, Tamara.

The last thing I want is to expose you.

- If something happened to you, I'd never... - No. Don't worry.

I'm totally protected.

What matters is that you get the best lawyer.

It won't help. They want to screw me over. They won't stop until they do.

Are you leaving?

Just for a little while.

Is there anything I can do for you?

No. I won't take advantage of your generosity. No.

I'll see what I can do.

How much do you need?

Thank you.

How did she take it?

She always knew this would come to an end.

I just gave her the pleasure of being my savior.

You enjoyed playing the victim

What are you talking about, dude? Eduardo Pinto is a fucking hero.

He sacrificed his security and properties

to stop his colleagues from stealing from their clients.

I will miss you, man.

Even though it offends me that

- Because they're all potheads, dude. - Go to hell.

I've transferred everything

-Except for my cut, of course. -Perfect.

Enjoy your retirement, asshole.

- Thanks, bro. - See you around.

Goddammit!
