00:04:56It's so good to see you.
00:04:58Are you going to a meeting?
00:04:59Why are you dressed like that?
00:05:01What?
00:05:02What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?
00:05:03Did you forget it was summer here?
00:05:05It must be at least 32 degrees.
00:05:07Okay, what's the conversion to Fahrenheit again?
00:05:10Take it times two at 30.
00:05:12Close enough.
00:05:13Okay, you can change back the ranch.
00:05:14But first, we have to salute the national flag.
00:05:17Which means drink some Malbec and eat a steak.
00:05:21You've been gone too long, Amir.
00:05:37You ordered a whole bottle?
00:05:43It's lunch.
00:05:44If it was dinner, we'd get two.
00:05:47It's my cousin.
00:05:49Mi mejor amiga.
00:05:50Ah, I remember that.
00:05:52Best friend.
00:05:56Mmm.
00:05:59Okay, so, tell me everything.
00:06:02Are you seeing anyone?
00:06:03I live in a ranch in the middle of nowhere.
00:06:07The dating pool, it's not exactly deep.
00:06:10Well, what about that guy?
00:06:11He worked at that restaurant a few towns over.
00:06:13I mean, you guys had a lot in common.
00:06:14He spent all his time watching soccer matches on his phone, including while we were on dates.
00:06:21No thanks.
00:06:23Just once.
00:06:24I want to date someone who owns a tie.
00:06:27I spent the last 15 years dating guys who own lots of ties.
00:06:31I promise you, it does not make them grown-ups.
00:06:34Whatever happened to romance?
00:06:36Passion?
00:06:37Your heart fluttering every time you see each other?
00:06:41Viva el amor!
00:06:41Long live love!
00:06:43Oh, I haven't heard that since...
00:06:47Diego.
00:06:49Oh, Diego.
00:06:52It's a blast from the past.
00:06:54I thought the two of you would last forever.
00:06:57Until that last summer.
00:06:59And that he broke your heart.
00:07:02Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:07:03Let's not give him that much credit.
00:07:06He was a childhood sweetheart.
00:07:07My romantic idea of a gaucho complete with a guitar.
00:07:12And then he just rode off into the sunset, never to be heard from again.
00:07:18And I haven't thought about him in years.
00:07:21He moved to Mexico.
00:07:22Mexico City.
00:07:23He, yeah, he went into finance and then he just...
00:07:27Okay, I looked him up on social media a few times.
00:07:32But then he fell off the grid.
00:07:34I have no idea where he is.
00:07:35Well, I...
00:07:36Oh, come on.
00:07:38Look at that.
00:07:41I really have been trying to eat less red meat.
00:07:43Mmm.
00:07:49Okay.
00:07:50I have been gone way too long.
00:07:52Yes, you have, amiga.
00:07:53Oh, it's delicious.
00:07:54It's delicious.
00:07:54Y ya no te demores, compañero, arrimarte al camino, no dejes pasar el tiempo.
00:08:06Y ya no te demores, compañero, que entre el tren de la vida, solo somos pasajeros.
00:08:17Lunita Tucumana, tamborcito, calchaquí, compañero de los gauchos, por la senda del tafí, compañero de los gauchos, por la senda del tafí.
00:08:32I have never seen someone so happy to be mucking a horse stall.
00:08:37Love your work and I will love you right back.
00:08:40Who taught me that?
00:08:41You did, papa.
00:08:44And this is good and it's work.
00:08:46It's its own reward.
00:08:47Well, I'm glad to hear you say it now.
00:08:49It took you a while to understand it.
00:08:51What I don't understand is why we're speaking English.
00:08:55Well, you know, I want to practice.
00:08:56For what?
00:08:57Well, you should know.
00:08:58Belinda's coming back from Buenos Aires.
00:09:01And?
00:09:02With our very special guest.
00:09:04Who's that?
00:09:06Abril?
00:09:07Abril.
00:09:08No, she arrives on Tuesday.
00:09:10Well, today is Tuesday.
00:09:12Today's Tuesday?
00:09:14What?
00:09:15No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:16I'm not ready.
00:09:17I can't see I really like this.
00:09:18I got to change.
00:09:19It is...
00:09:20Oh, you still have feelings for her, huh?
00:09:21No, that was that teenage romance thing and we both went different directions, literally.
00:09:27Then what should it matter what you look like when you meet her, no?
00:09:29Dad, this is business.
00:09:32My first impressions are very important.
00:09:34Mom, you are doing a good, honest job that you love.
00:09:37I'm sure she will understand that.
00:09:39Yeah, I got to change.
00:09:40Andres!
00:09:51Feliz!
00:09:52Abril, qué bueno verte.
00:09:54So good to see you.
00:09:56Oh, mi amor.
00:09:58Oh, I've missed you.
00:10:00And what do you think?
00:10:01Is it everything you remember?
00:10:02Oh, and more.
00:10:04Who's that?
00:10:09Oh, that's Diego.
00:10:10No, that's not Diego.
00:10:13Diego?
00:10:14Diego's here?
00:10:16Why didn't you tell me?
00:10:17Yeah, about that.
00:10:19I got distracted by lunch.
00:10:21Well, the mall bag may have played a part.
00:10:23Gabriel, so nice to see you.
00:10:30Diego, hi, Doug.
00:10:32It's good to see you.
00:10:34So you're back.
00:10:36So you're back?
00:10:38Yeah, I work here with my parents on the ranch now.
00:10:41Really?
00:10:42Well, that's good to know.
00:10:43Would have been good to know a little earlier.
00:10:46Would you like me to give you a tour?
00:10:48Oh, Diego, come on.
00:10:49I practically grew up here.
00:10:50I know my way around.
00:10:51But that was many years ago, and there's so many changes, like the news tables.
00:10:56You need to see that.
00:10:57Want to come?
00:10:58Sure.
00:11:00No toaster pastries for you.
00:11:04This is going to be fun.
00:11:08So when did you move back from Mexico City?
00:11:11I told you I lived there.
00:11:12Oh, I guess I heard it.
00:11:14From Belinda, probably.
00:11:16I mean, it's not like I looked you up online or anything.
00:11:19Of course not.
00:11:19But yes, I worked in finance, and I didn't like it.
00:11:24Why not?
00:11:25Because I realized I don't like having a boss.
00:11:27So I sold everything, and I traveled the continents.
00:11:31And I worked in ranches, I played music, I talked to people.
00:11:34I wanted to be free, and I was free.
00:11:39Who's playing you in this movie?
00:11:41Sorry, sorry.
00:11:42I just, um, I wanted to be free, and I was free?
00:11:45Yeah.
00:11:45What is all that?
00:11:48What do you mean?
00:11:49Well, what do you mean?
00:11:50We grew up together.
00:11:51We...
00:11:51You were this funny guy who liked American TV, and hip-hop, and read poetry.
00:11:58You never took this whole gaucha thing too seriously.
00:12:01Well, how about you?
00:12:03Well, what about me?
00:12:04You were running around here, pretending to be a gaucha, with your knees scraped and muddy
00:12:10clothes, you were, what's that word, that, um, free.
00:12:18I'm still free.
00:12:21Your expensive suit would say otherwise.
00:12:23I just got off the plate.
00:12:25I haven't had time to change yet.
00:12:26I think a lot has changed.
00:12:28Come on, I'll show you.
00:12:29It's a good day.
00:12:43Ah, that's me.
00:12:46My abuelos.
00:12:48Did you, did you put up all these photos here?
00:12:52Yes, and upgraded the paints, expanded this table so we could board more horses.
00:12:57Oh.
00:12:57Yeah.
00:12:58I can see that.
00:12:59So, uh, tell me about your life now.
00:13:04Uh, in Boston, right?
00:13:07How did you know that I was in Boston?
00:13:11Belinda must have told me.
00:13:13Oh.
00:13:14Yeah, I'm still there.
00:13:16I was working as a business consultant for a long time, but now I'm, I don't know, I'm
00:13:21looking for new opportunities.
00:13:22In Argentina?
00:13:24No, no, no, no, just, no, I'm only here because Belinda's talking about the,
00:13:29well, it's just a long overdue visit.
00:13:33I haven't been here since.
00:13:36That summer.
00:13:38Yeah.
00:13:39It's a good summer.
00:13:39It's a good summer.
00:13:44They all were.
00:13:46I looked forward to them.
00:13:48You too.
00:13:51Uh, how long are you staying?
00:13:53Maybe a couple weeks.
00:13:55Then Iguazu Falls on my way home.
00:13:58I still have never been.
00:14:00Yeah, we were going to do that together.
00:14:03Yeah, we were going to do a lot of things together.
00:14:05Okay, so I have to ask.
00:14:14You left home.
00:14:18You left home.
00:14:20And now you're back.
00:14:21How do your parents feel about you freeing yourself from your finance degree and successful career
00:14:29just to come back here and take over your father's job as a caretaker?
00:14:33My grandfather worked for your grandfathers, my father after that.
00:14:42We built this place, we birthed the calves, we trained the horses.
00:14:46My people have been out just here for centuries.
00:14:48I am here to preserve their traditions, their legacy.
00:14:52So no, I'm not just a caretaker here.
00:14:54Diego, that's not...
00:14:55That's not...
00:14:57You know, I think we should get you back to the main house.
00:15:00You probably want to change out of your clothes.
00:15:03Sure.
00:15:04Yeah.
00:15:08Mmm.
00:15:09Oh, Blinda.
00:15:10Everything is so good.
00:15:12Good enough to be served in a restaurant?
00:15:14Good enough for a chain of restaurants.
00:15:16Okay, so have you figured out how it's going to happen yet?
00:15:20Well, I'm going to sit down with the financials after dinner and run some numbers, dig into the offer.
00:15:25Sure. We're going to figure this out.
00:15:26Okay.
00:15:26Did you tell Andres and Feli that you were considering selling?
00:15:31Oh, well, actually, Diego...
00:15:33Oh, let me guess.
00:15:34I gave you the whole speech about the life of Gaucho.
00:15:37Well, you know, he loves it here.
00:15:40Yeah, I get it. I do too.
00:15:43After my parents divorced, it was always two households, two cultures, two different versions of me.
00:15:51Two American to be Argentinian, two Argentinian to be American.
00:15:55But when I was here, none of that mattered.
00:16:01Here, I felt like I had solid ground under my feet.
00:16:05And why did you stop coming?
00:16:07Well, I always meant to come back and even retire here.
00:16:15But in the meantime, I got busy.
00:16:19I found solid ground back home.
00:16:22My career was, well, was being the operative word.
00:16:27It'll be an S again, starting here.
00:16:30Thank you, Belle.
00:16:34Thank you, Belle.
00:16:35And then the assets minus amortization.
00:16:45But then the market position...
00:16:48How do you mean?
00:16:49Amia, did you not sleep at all?
00:16:58No, no.
00:16:58I've been up all night trying to sort through all of this.
00:17:00Most of it is in Spanish, so I hadn't, depending on translation apps.
00:17:04But I think I'm getting really close.
00:17:06I can't quite figure...
00:17:07Did you drink all this mate?
00:17:09Yeah.
00:17:10Yeah, well, it's basically herbal tea.
00:17:12It's basically rocket fuel.
00:17:14There's enough caffeine in this to keep you awake for a week.
00:17:17Oh, is that why I'm saying strange colors?
00:17:19Okay, you need to get some sleep.
00:17:21No, something just isn't adding up.
00:17:23Yes, the papers are upside down.
00:17:25I mean, um...
00:17:28No, I'm so close.
00:17:30I just...
00:17:31I just...
00:17:32I can't quite figure out something.
00:17:35Why don't you take a walk, clear your mind?
00:17:38Maybe that will help.
00:17:40Okay.
00:17:40And leave those here, please.
00:17:43Go, go, go.
00:17:44Go, go.
00:17:55Oh, oh.
00:18:00Shouldn't sneak up on people.
00:18:02Sure I wear a belt?
00:18:03Yeah, I'd appreciate that.
00:18:05Thanks.
00:18:07Okay, what is it?
00:18:08You seem a bit...
00:18:09jumpy.
00:18:11Yeah, no, I'm fine.
00:18:13I just, um...
00:18:14Well, I...
00:18:15There's a problem.
00:18:17I just...
00:18:18I can't figure it out.
00:18:20Can I help?
00:18:21No, it's business stuff.
00:18:22It's just financial statements and proposals.
00:18:25Well, I worked in finance
00:18:26before I became a caretaker, so...
00:18:29Right.
00:18:30Sorry.
00:18:32Okay, listen, I know that Belinda told you
00:18:34that there's an offer to sell the ranch.
00:18:37Yes.
00:18:37But this company that wants to buy it,
00:18:39this DTM, is offering a lot less
00:18:41than what the property is worth
00:18:42based on my research,
00:18:43and I just...
00:18:44I can't figure out why.
00:18:46I mean, am I missing something?
00:18:48Is there something about this property
00:18:49that would account for that?
00:18:50No, the property's fine.
00:18:52Also, they're offering
00:18:54a very fair price.
00:18:55It's just below market value.
00:18:57And if it's all they have,
00:18:59and Belinda wants to sell...
00:19:00Yeah, but Belinda doesn't want to sell.
00:19:02She just wants to open a restaurant.
00:19:04And I don't want to sell.
00:19:05You don't?
00:19:06No.
00:19:07No, what I want
00:19:08is to eat
00:19:09the toaster pastries I have.
00:19:12It's a metaphor.
00:19:13I'm sorry.
00:19:14Uh, never mind.
00:19:15Maybe instead of buying,
00:19:18they invest.
00:19:20Well, what if they don't want to invest?
00:19:22What if they want to own the ranch?
00:19:25Well, then we don't call it an investment.
00:19:26We can just take on a partner.
00:19:28But they don't want a partner.
00:19:29They want to own the ranch outright.
00:19:31How do you know?
00:19:33DTM...
00:19:34Diego, Teodoro,
00:19:38Mendez.
00:19:39You?
00:19:40You want to buy the ranch?
00:19:42Yes.
00:19:43I thought that's why you were here,
00:19:44to sell it to me.
00:19:45No, I'm here to find a way
00:19:47so we don't sell the ranch
00:19:48to anyone.
00:19:49Well, then we have a problem.
00:19:51Yes, we do.
00:19:54What are we going to do about that?
00:19:56Well,
00:19:56I don't know.
00:19:58Yet.
00:19:59But I am going to go convince Belinda
00:20:01that the best idea
00:20:01is to keep the ranch.
00:20:02No.
00:20:03I'm going to go and convince Belinda
00:20:05that the best idea
00:20:05is to sell it to me.
00:20:08Really?
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:12Really?
00:20:13Hey.
00:20:13Hey.
00:20:15What if I sell my half to Diego
00:20:17and then you two can own it together?
00:20:19I mean, partners.
00:20:19No, no.
00:20:20I don't want partners.
00:20:21No, he doesn't want a boss.
00:20:22Listen, if I had a partner,
00:20:23you would never be my boss.
00:20:25Oh, so you'd be the boss of me.
00:20:27Belinda,
00:20:28I know that I can solve this.
00:20:30I need to solve this.
00:20:32You said you'd give me a chance
00:20:33to figure out a way
00:20:33to get you your restaurant
00:20:34without selling the ranch.
00:20:36Will you please still give me that chance?
00:20:37Yes, of course.
00:20:38No, Belinda,
00:20:39you said you'd sell it to me.
00:20:40I said if Abril agreed.
00:20:42Abril doesn't agree.
00:20:44You will.
00:20:45I won't.
00:20:47We'll see.
00:20:48Yes, we will.
00:20:51Is everything okay?
00:20:53No!
00:20:53No!
00:20:53Remember how I said
00:20:58this was going to be fun?
00:21:01I was wrong.
00:21:13Hey!
00:21:15Did you sleep?
00:21:16I did.
00:21:17I'm totally refreshed
00:21:18and ready to get back to work.
00:21:19Abril,
00:21:20I don't want this
00:21:21to cause problems between us.
00:21:22It won't.
00:21:23What about Diego?
00:21:25What about him?
00:21:26I was including him
00:21:27in the us part of
00:21:28I don't want this
00:21:29to cause problems between us.
00:21:31Well, that
00:21:32I can't promise.
00:21:33He's obviously got this
00:21:35grandiose vision of him
00:21:37riding in like a heroic gaucho
00:21:38to save the ranch.
00:21:39And you know what?
00:21:40The ranch doesn't need saving
00:21:41and neither do we.
00:21:43And I'm going to prove it.
00:21:45How?
00:21:46Well,
00:21:47we need to start
00:21:48fighting fire
00:21:49with fire.
00:21:51I don't understand.
00:21:53The first rule
00:21:54of business consultancy
00:21:55is to fit into
00:21:56your environment.
00:21:58Make it seem like
00:21:58you belong there.
00:22:00Okay, so?
00:22:02So?
00:22:03We're going shopping.
00:22:04Nice boots.
00:22:33Who do we have here?
00:22:35Megan.
00:22:36This is a stallion?
00:22:38So, he's Megan Thee Stallion?
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:42You're doing, I suppose.
00:22:44I will introduce it
00:22:45to Ross and Rachel later.
00:22:47So, these boots,
00:22:49are they your business
00:22:50strategy for the ranch?
00:22:52No, I'm still
00:22:53reviewing documents
00:22:54so I can understand
00:22:55how everything works.
00:22:56I love Belle,
00:22:57but the organization
00:22:58is not exactly
00:22:59her strong suit.
00:23:00Well, that's why
00:23:01she relies on someone
00:23:02who understands the ranch
00:23:03without having to read
00:23:04a bunch of documents.
00:23:05And that, my friend,
00:23:07explains the boots.
00:23:09To have a good
00:23:09business strategy,
00:23:10you have to do research.
00:23:12And I'm not too proud
00:23:13to admit that there
00:23:14are things that I need
00:23:15to learn in order
00:23:15to make an informed
00:23:16recommendation.
00:23:17And who are you going
00:23:19to learn all this stuff
00:23:19from?
00:23:24Me?
00:23:26What's so funny?
00:23:28So, you want me
00:23:30to help you
00:23:31convince Belinda
00:23:32not to sell
00:23:33the ranch to me.
00:23:34Why would I do that?
00:23:36Well, I still own
00:23:38half this ranch,
00:23:39and you are an employee,
00:23:41so technically...
00:23:42Don't say it.
00:23:43I'm your boss.
00:23:45Buenos dias!
00:23:46Good morning, Andres.
00:23:47How are you?
00:23:48I'm well, how are you?
00:23:49Look at you.
00:23:49You're coming on the ride
00:23:50today, right?
00:23:51Oh, uh...
00:23:52Today we take the horses
00:23:55to the Pampas.
00:23:55You want to learn
00:23:56about the ranch?
00:23:57The trail ride
00:23:58is the best place
00:23:59to start.
00:24:00Well, then, yes.
00:24:01I'd love to.
00:24:03Wonderful.
00:24:05Let's do it.
00:24:06So, how many rides
00:24:10do we do a day?
00:24:11Let's see.
00:24:12We do, uh,
00:24:12one every morning.
00:24:14Well, that seems like
00:24:15a missed opportunity
00:24:15for revenue.
00:24:17Shouldn't we be doing
00:24:17multiple today?
00:24:18No, it's too hot
00:24:19in the afternoons.
00:24:20And difficult
00:24:21for the horses
00:24:21and the tourists
00:24:22because it can get
00:24:23above 30 degrees.
00:24:24Times two at 30.
00:24:27Got it.
00:24:28What about
00:24:29nighttime rides?
00:24:31Campfire tours
00:24:32could be fun.
00:24:32You know what?
00:24:33That is a great idea
00:24:34that I've already
00:24:35implemented with
00:24:36Berlinda's blessing.
00:24:38Yeah.
00:24:38But there's so many
00:24:39things that need
00:24:40to be taken care
00:24:40of around here.
00:24:41The fence line
00:24:42needs to be checked
00:24:43every month.
00:24:44Supplies reordered
00:24:46every quarter.
00:24:47Then the horses
00:24:47and the cows
00:24:48need to be fed
00:24:49and watered daily
00:24:50and vaccinated
00:24:51every year.
00:24:52And we have
00:24:53to make allowances
00:24:53for all these repairs
00:24:54that come up
00:24:55all the time.
00:24:56On top of that,
00:24:57you have the group
00:24:57bookings and
00:24:58seasonal hirings.
00:25:01But I can save
00:25:02you some time
00:25:02if you want
00:25:03and, you know,
00:25:04just explain
00:25:05my business plan.
00:25:06You have a business plan?
00:25:08What?
00:25:09Are you surprised
00:25:10that the caretaker
00:25:11can make one?
00:25:12Oh, come on.
00:25:13You're gonna have
00:25:14to let that go.
00:25:15I never meant it to be.
00:25:15My family have been here
00:25:16since before I was born.
00:25:17Oh, here we go.
00:25:18Diego,
00:25:19I checked with Berlinda.
00:25:20You've only been back
00:25:21here a few months.
00:25:22You've been gone
00:25:23almost as long
00:25:24as I have.
00:25:25The only difference
00:25:26is I never wanted
00:25:26to leave.
00:25:28Well, you always left.
00:25:29You remember when we
00:25:53used to race
00:25:55to the other side?
00:25:57And you almost drowned
00:25:58I had to carry you?
00:25:59No.
00:26:00I pretended to drown
00:26:01so you could take care of me.
00:26:02Oh, yeah.
00:26:03You telling yourself that.
00:26:04Yeah.
00:26:07Would you mind
00:26:08taking a photo?
00:26:09Of course.
00:26:09Of course.
00:26:10Thanks.
00:26:15Perfect.
00:26:15Perfect.
00:26:18So this is
00:26:19your daily life, huh?
00:26:21Just ride horses
00:26:23to the river,
00:26:25take pictures of people.
00:26:26No.
00:26:27Sometimes we ride horses
00:26:28to the lake
00:26:29and take pictures of people.
00:26:31Why?
00:26:32What's your day like?
00:26:33Well, if I'm working,
00:26:35I'm sitting in front
00:26:36of a computer
00:26:37for 12 hours
00:26:37until I remember to eat.
00:26:40And if you're not working?
00:26:41I worry about
00:26:42why I'm not working.
00:26:44Just send emails,
00:26:45check my phone.
00:26:47So you're working
00:26:47even if you're not working?
00:26:48Yeah.
00:26:52And how's your family?
00:26:55Well, my mom lives
00:26:56in San Diego,
00:26:56but we talk all the time.
00:26:58And after Dad passed,
00:27:00he...
00:27:00Oh.
00:27:01Sorry.
00:27:03He was a good man.
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07Yeah, he was.
00:27:09He thought about
00:27:10coming back here
00:27:11and running the place,
00:27:13but since he was gone
00:27:15and Belle's parents
00:27:17didn't want it,
00:27:18Grandma and Grandpa
00:27:19left it to us.
00:27:22Sometimes I wonder
00:27:23what they were thinking.
00:27:26That they loved you.
00:27:30I'm sorry.
00:27:31That first picture
00:27:32didn't turn out very well.
00:27:33Could you take another?
00:27:34I'm sorry, yes.
00:27:35But you know what?
00:27:36Let's go to this spot over here.
00:27:38It's much better.
00:27:39It's more beautiful.
00:27:39Oh.
00:27:52Oh.
00:27:53You okay?
00:27:54Yeah, yeah.
00:27:55I could have done that myself.
00:27:57Okay.
00:27:58She wasn't looking for a knight.
00:27:59She was looking for a sword.
00:28:02You still read poetry?
00:28:04Well, yeah.
00:28:05Well, I guess
00:28:06not everything has changed.
00:28:08Seems so.
00:28:11Well, thanks for the
00:28:12trail ride.
00:28:13I think that will really
00:28:14help with my research.
00:28:16Anytime, boss.
00:28:17Hey, Belle.
00:28:28Um, I need you to
00:28:29explain something to me.
00:28:31Oh, do you need
00:28:31a translation?
00:28:34Oh, no.
00:28:34How about I hold
00:28:35and you read?
00:28:38What's this?
00:28:39Oh, that's a loan.
00:28:42What loan?
00:28:43Do you remember
00:28:44when we were kids?
00:28:45There was all that
00:28:46flooding.
00:28:47El abuelo had to
00:28:48put in new irrigation
00:28:49to repair the damage
00:28:50to the old stables.
00:28:52So, he got a loan.
00:28:54What, was it ever
00:28:55repaid?
00:28:57There was a financial
00:28:58crisis in 2001.
00:29:00The banks collapsed.
00:29:01The loan was bought
00:29:02by somebody
00:29:03and then was bought
00:29:03by somebody else
00:29:04and eventually
00:29:05just went away.
00:29:07Belle, loans
00:29:08don't just go away.
00:29:10We still owe this money.
00:29:12To who?
00:29:12I tried to find out
00:29:13and I was told
00:29:14it's better to let it be.
00:29:18Well, letting things be
00:29:19is a great way
00:29:20to get in trouble later.
00:29:21I learned that
00:29:22the hard way.
00:29:25Oh, that must be Antonio.
00:29:27Antonio who?
00:29:29Tedaglia?
00:29:30He used to live
00:29:31at a ranch
00:29:31a few miles down the road.
00:29:33He was one of the kids
00:29:33that would hang out
00:29:34here in the summer.
00:29:36Yeah, I remember him,
00:29:37but why is he here?
00:29:38He's a lawyer in Buenos Aires
00:29:39and we're friends
00:29:40on social media.
00:29:41I asked him to stop by
00:29:42and look at the paperwork.
00:29:43Antonio's a lawyer?
00:29:45He was such a troublemaker
00:29:46when we were kids.
00:29:47I figured by now
00:29:48he'd need a lawyer.
00:29:49It's good.
00:29:58Antonio!
00:29:59Abril!
00:30:01I'm going to be dreaming.
00:30:02I'm guessing that means
00:30:03you can't believe I'm here.
00:30:05I must be dreaming.
00:30:07Look at you.
00:30:08Antonio, what are you?
00:30:09Diego, dear.
00:30:10How are you?
00:30:11How are you?
00:30:11Look at you, all grown up.
00:30:24You look amazing.
00:30:25Oh, thank you.
00:30:28It's hard to believe, right?
00:30:29All of us together again
00:30:31as if nothing has changed.
00:30:32Abril and I were just about
00:30:35to sit down
00:30:36to a light lunch.
00:30:36You're welcome to join us.
00:30:38Oh, no.
00:30:38No, I don't want to intrude.
00:30:40Oh, please.
00:30:42Come on.
00:30:42We are all friends, right?
00:30:44Yeah, that's true.
00:30:46After you, friend.
00:30:48Thanks.
00:30:52I mean,
00:30:52I still can't believe
00:30:54you thought it was a good idea
00:30:55to ride a horse standing up.
00:30:56We were playing gauchos.
00:30:58You have to make an entrance.
00:31:00You were lucky
00:31:00you only broke your arm.
00:31:02It could have been your neck.
00:31:04It was Diego's idea.
00:31:05Well, I was 15.
00:31:06I was very stupid.
00:31:07I had a lot of stupid ideas.
00:31:09Yeah, like trying to cross
00:31:10the river in your father's track?
00:31:12No, that was your idea.
00:31:13It was not.
00:31:14Abril, you suggested we drive.
00:31:16I was joking.
00:31:17I didn't think you'd actually do it.
00:31:19Abril, you know when we were kids,
00:31:20we would have done anything
00:31:21the two of you asked, right?
00:31:22I don't know about that.
00:31:23Come on.
00:31:24It's true.
00:31:25We both had terrible crashes on you.
00:31:27You did?
00:31:28Of course.
00:31:29You never said anything.
00:31:30Well, I was too young.
00:31:32Diego was the only one
00:31:33smart enough to do anything
00:31:34about his crash.
00:31:39Okay, I have to go.
00:31:41I have a tour group
00:31:42I need to take fishing.
00:31:44So, see you later.
00:31:45We shall go with you.
00:31:47What, fishing?
00:31:49Yes.
00:31:50We used to do it all the time
00:31:51when we were kids.
00:31:52It'll be fun.
00:31:53I mean, Abril is only here
00:31:54for a short time
00:31:55and who knows
00:31:56when the four of us
00:31:57will have another chance
00:31:58to relive our memories.
00:32:02You?
00:32:03Well, more than Mariel.
00:32:05Come on.
00:32:05Of course.
00:32:14Okay.
00:32:15We're out of your shot.
00:32:17What is going on
00:32:18with you and Antonio?
00:32:20I don't know
00:32:20what you're talking about.
00:32:23Who knows
00:32:23when we'll have another chance
00:32:24to relive old memories?
00:32:28Okay.
00:32:29He grew up well.
00:32:30He's a successful lawyer.
00:32:32He's funny.
00:32:33He's cute.
00:32:35Well, yes,
00:32:36that doesn't hurt.
00:32:37But I don't know.
00:32:39Maybe now it's not
00:32:39the right time
00:32:40with the ranch,
00:32:42the restaurant,
00:32:43and...
00:32:43the right time
00:32:44is when you want it to be.
00:32:46Don't let anything else
00:32:47get in the way.
00:32:49Is that what happens
00:32:49with you and Diego?
00:32:51No.
00:32:53Diego didn't want it to be.
00:32:55We were going to go to college,
00:32:57but I wanted to go somewhere nearby
00:32:58so we can both stay
00:33:00on the ranch together,
00:33:01but he wanted to strike out
00:33:02on his own.
00:33:04Make his mark.
00:33:06So I went back to Boston.
00:33:09Which is fine
00:33:09because I found a new life.
00:33:12Friends, career.
00:33:15You're both here, though.
00:33:21Oh, no.
00:33:22I've tangled my line.
00:33:25Antonio,
00:33:26could you help me?
00:33:27You won't catch
00:33:35anything like that.
00:33:36I was never really good
00:33:37at this.
00:33:38Wow.
00:33:40Okay.
00:33:41There you go.
00:33:44Thanks.
00:33:46Okay, so listen.
00:33:49I've been thinking a lot
00:33:51about your business plan.
00:33:53I found a copy you gave
00:33:54to Belinda,
00:33:54but I haven't read it yet.
00:33:55so give me the elevator pitch.
00:34:00Are you sure?
00:34:02Yeah.
00:34:04Okay.
00:34:05Uh,
00:34:05I want to use this land
00:34:07as an authentic
00:34:08gaucho experience.
00:34:10Not what we do now
00:34:12or what everyone does,
00:34:13this touristy horseback rides
00:34:15and photo ops with ponchos.
00:34:17No, I want week-long trips
00:34:20in the outback
00:34:21where we teach people
00:34:22about the plants
00:34:23and the animals
00:34:24and the history
00:34:25and we preserve it,
00:34:26round up cattle
00:34:27and we cook
00:34:28on open fires,
00:34:30music,
00:34:31stories,
00:34:32heritage.
00:34:34Well, that's a worthy dream.
00:34:35A necessary one
00:34:36because our people,
00:34:38the gaucho,
00:34:39we have life,
00:34:40has disappeared.
00:34:42Soon,
00:34:42we won't even exist anymore.
00:34:44It's important.
00:34:45And on the business side,
00:34:47I know the market
00:34:47and the numbers
00:34:49and it really makes sense
00:34:51if I own a ranch.
00:34:53Okay,
00:34:54but just hear me out.
00:34:56What if I find a way
00:34:57to make it make sense
00:34:59with you as an investor?
00:35:01Are you going to be
00:35:01talking about
00:35:02toasted pastries again?
00:35:04No,
00:35:05I can find a way
00:35:06to get everybody
00:35:07what they want.
00:35:09And what do you want?
00:35:12What about you?
00:35:14If Belinda is
00:35:15out of a picture,
00:35:16would you come back?
00:35:18No,
00:35:18I have a life
00:35:19back in Boston.
00:35:21No friends,
00:35:22no job,
00:35:23no family?
00:35:23I have friends there
00:35:25and my mom visits often
00:35:27and the situation
00:35:29with my job,
00:35:30it's temporary.
00:35:32Finding a solution here
00:35:33will prove
00:35:34that I can do it again.
00:35:35But regardless,
00:35:37I know that I don't
00:35:37want to sell the ranch.
00:35:40And I know that
00:35:40I don't want to be
00:35:41just an investor.
00:35:43Look,
00:35:43I love it here.
00:35:44I love this land,
00:35:45but I can do this
00:35:45if I buy another
00:35:48piece of land.
00:35:50So you give up
00:35:51on what you love,
00:35:52find success somewhere else?
00:35:56History repeats.
00:35:57Oh,
00:35:59okay.
00:36:03Careful!
00:36:07What are you doing?
00:36:09Uh,
00:36:09just making sure
00:36:10you don't get swept
00:36:10away.
00:36:14You okay?
00:36:16Yeah.
00:36:21No,
00:36:22no,
00:36:22that's,
00:36:22that's great.
00:36:23Three o'clock.
00:36:24Yes,
00:36:24done.
00:36:25Hey,
00:36:25and if all works out,
00:36:27would you put in
00:36:28a good word for me
00:36:28around town?
00:36:30Alan,
00:36:31thank you so much.
00:36:32I really appreciate this.
00:36:35Any luck finding
00:36:36an investor?
00:36:37Maybe.
00:36:38That was an old
00:36:38associate of mine
00:36:39from a kidder.
00:36:40I thought no one was taking
00:36:41your calls anymore.
00:36:43Well,
00:36:43he's an agri-real estate
00:36:44now,
00:36:45so he smells money
00:36:45in the water.
00:36:46Anyway,
00:36:47he says he knows
00:36:47a banker in Buenos Aires,
00:36:48Tomás Campanaro,
00:36:49and he's done some
00:36:50deals with them
00:36:51and is interested
00:36:52and wants to come by
00:36:53today.
00:36:54Today?
00:36:56What am I going to cook?
00:37:02Hey.
00:37:04Hey.
00:37:04Listen,
00:37:09I wanted to give you
00:37:10a heads up.
00:37:12There's a investor
00:37:14coming to tour
00:37:14the property today.
00:37:16So if you were
00:37:17thinking about
00:37:18dressing up as a ghost
00:37:19to scare him,
00:37:20I kindly ask
00:37:22not to cut any
00:37:23eye holes in sheets,
00:37:24please.
00:37:24Well,
00:37:24your Scooby-Doo reference
00:37:26is not going to charm me.
00:37:29Diego,
00:37:30I know,
00:37:30I'm sorry,
00:37:31I know that this is not
00:37:31what you want,
00:37:32but I do think
00:37:34that this is the best
00:37:34way forward.
00:37:35I'd be happy to help
00:37:36you execute
00:37:37your business plan.
00:37:38And who knows,
00:37:39maybe there's probably
00:37:39still a way
00:37:40that you can get
00:37:40to do what you want
00:37:41to do.
00:37:43She's not here.
00:37:46So,
00:37:46if this works out,
00:37:48will you be going
00:37:49back to Boston?
00:37:52Yeah.
00:37:53Yeah,
00:37:53I mean,
00:37:54this is exactly
00:37:56what I need
00:37:57to get my track record
00:37:58back on track,
00:37:59so to speak.
00:38:01Although,
00:38:01I do want to stop
00:38:03by Iguazu Falls
00:38:04on my way home.
00:38:06Is it as beautiful
00:38:06as the pictures?
00:38:07I don't know.
00:38:08I've never been.
00:38:10I thought you went
00:38:11after that last summer
00:38:13we had.
00:38:15No,
00:38:16I never made it right.
00:38:21Okay.
00:38:21Mr. Campanaro,
00:38:37thank you so much
00:38:38for coming.
00:38:39My pleasure.
00:38:40And, por favor,
00:38:41it's Tomás.
00:38:42Well,
00:38:42I'm a grill,
00:38:43and this is my cousin
00:38:44Belinda,
00:38:44and we own La Rambla.
00:38:45Well,
00:38:46just driving in.
00:38:47Your property's gorgeous.
00:38:49Gracias.
00:38:50Are you hungry?
00:38:50I fixed a small snack.
00:38:52And by small snack,
00:38:53she means enough food
00:38:54to feed most of South America.
00:38:56I just had a little lunch.
00:38:58Okay, then.
00:38:59Why don't we start
00:39:00with a tour of the property?
00:39:01Wonderful.
00:39:02Maybe work up an appetite?
00:39:03Well, sure.
00:39:04So, this is where
00:39:10we exercise
00:39:10and work the new horses
00:39:12to get them ready
00:39:13for trail riding
00:39:13with guests.
00:39:15And also,
00:39:16our guest...
00:39:16Hi.
00:39:17Hi.
00:39:17I'm Diego Mendez.
00:39:18I'm one of the caretakers here.
00:39:20Tomás Campanaro.
00:39:21So,
00:39:22have you worked here long?
00:39:23Yeah,
00:39:24well,
00:39:24I grew up here,
00:39:25so I know all the complexities
00:39:26of this place.
00:39:27What kind of complexities?
00:39:29Why don't we go see the stables?
00:39:31Hi.
00:39:32Oh, well,
00:39:33you know how to manage
00:39:33the fields and the animals,
00:39:35how to irrigate from the river,
00:39:37how to deal with the droughts
00:39:38and the fires.
00:39:39Are there fires?
00:39:41Yeah.
00:39:41All very manageable.
00:39:43Well,
00:39:44I mean,
00:39:45and then there's the issues
00:39:46with the guests.
00:39:47I mean,
00:39:48the marketing,
00:39:49insurance.
00:39:49Don't you have a tour
00:39:50to lead somewhere
00:39:52far away from here?
00:39:54No.
00:39:55Not for two hours.
00:39:58Oh.
00:39:58Well,
00:39:59guest experiences
00:39:59are specialties,
00:40:00so we might be able
00:40:01to lend a hand with that.
00:40:03Oh, yeah?
00:40:03Yeah.
00:40:04How so?
00:40:05Well,
00:40:05but you're utilizing
00:40:06the undeveloped acreage
00:40:07you have
00:40:08to build more amenities
00:40:09for a more modern clientele.
00:40:11Well,
00:40:11that's a lot
00:40:11in the face
00:40:12of an economic downturn
00:40:13in the agri-food
00:40:14and tourism sector,
00:40:16but what do I know?
00:40:17I'm just a caretaker here.
00:40:18Anyway,
00:40:19full disclosure,
00:40:20I'm sure they told you
00:40:20about the properties
00:40:22haunted.
00:40:23Haunted?
00:40:24Oh.
00:40:25Yeah.
00:40:25Let me show you the stables.
00:40:28You mean,
00:40:28like proper ghosts?
00:40:29Well,
00:40:30there's an energy
00:40:31around the whole property.
00:40:37I don't like that, Luke.
00:40:38What are you thinking right now?
00:40:40Just trying to decide
00:40:41whether or not a jury
00:40:42would convict me.
00:40:49That was not funny.
00:40:50I thought that was very funny.
00:40:52What were you thinking?
00:40:53Because of you,
00:40:54we probably blew that deal,
00:40:56and how can you be so selfish?
00:40:58Selfish?
00:40:59Me?
00:41:01That's funny.
00:41:02Excuse me?
00:41:03You come in here
00:41:04and you pretend
00:41:05to be everyone's savior,
00:41:06but you know what?
00:41:07Belinda doesn't need
00:41:08to be saved,
00:41:09and neither do I.
00:41:10You're doing this
00:41:11to prove something
00:41:12to yourself,
00:41:13and once again,
00:41:13it's all about
00:41:14what's good for you.
00:41:15Once again?
00:41:17Oh, is this about
00:41:18what happened
00:41:19when we were 18 years old?
00:41:21Do you really want
00:41:21to have that conversation now?
00:41:23We're here now.
00:41:25Sure.
00:41:26Yeah.
00:41:27Say what you have to say.
00:41:28Okay.
00:41:30Fine.
00:41:33You were my best friend.
00:41:36I mean,
00:41:36we only spent summers together,
00:41:38but I lived
00:41:38for those summers together.
00:41:41And then I fell in love
00:41:42with you.
00:41:44And I naively thought
00:41:45that you felt the same way,
00:41:46but instead,
00:41:46you just...
00:41:48you left.
00:41:50We were both
00:41:51going to leave.
00:41:53I just did it first.
00:41:56Maybe it was
00:41:56just a summer romance.
00:42:01Maybe.
00:42:03And just like summer,
00:42:05it had to end
00:42:07at some point,
00:42:08no?
00:42:10Right.
00:42:11Right.
00:42:11Nothing makes me feel
00:42:21more Argentinian
00:42:22than eating
00:42:22an entire pound
00:42:23of provolone.
00:42:25You're truly
00:42:26a special culture.
00:42:27Mm-hmm.
00:42:30Okay.
00:42:31I have a question.
00:42:32Do you actually
00:42:35want to keep the ranch?
00:42:36I mean,
00:42:39I know my answer
00:42:41should be
00:42:41a resounding yes,
00:42:43but the truth is,
00:42:44you and Diego
00:42:45went off
00:42:46and had all this
00:42:47success in the world,
00:42:48and I...
00:42:49I was stuck here.
00:42:52I think I'm ready
00:42:53to see what the world
00:42:54has in store for me.
00:42:57And besides,
00:42:58this place is too much
00:42:59to be run by myself.
00:43:01Yeah.
00:43:02I can see that.
00:43:02that we should sell it
00:43:07to Diego.
00:43:11You don't want
00:43:12to sell it.
00:43:14I finally read
00:43:15his business plan,
00:43:16and it makes sense.
00:43:18It sort of felt like
00:43:19something I would
00:43:20have written.
00:43:23I want this place
00:43:24to be in good hands.
00:43:26Hands that
00:43:27will care for it.
00:43:29And if it's not ours,
00:43:31then...
00:43:32Oh.
00:43:35Oh, it's an email
00:43:36from Tomás.
00:43:39Oh, no.
00:43:41No, no, no, no, no.
00:43:43What is it?
00:43:44No!
00:43:45¿Qué pasa?
00:43:46¿Qué dice?
00:43:48Well,
00:43:50you remember that loan
00:43:51that you thought
00:43:52just went away?
00:43:55Tomás found it.
00:43:57And guess whose bank
00:43:57owns it now.
00:43:59What?
00:44:00How is that?
00:44:01What does it mean?
00:44:02It means that he doesn't
00:44:03want to invest
00:44:04in La Rambla.
00:44:05He wants to take it.
00:44:07Hi.
00:44:26Hi.
00:44:27Um,
00:44:27I need your help.
00:44:29What did you find out?
00:44:48It's not good, guys.
00:44:51I don't know how
00:44:51Campanero knew about the loan.
00:44:53It was in the information packet
00:44:55I gave him.
00:44:57I had to disclose it.
00:44:58You did the right thing.
00:45:00But his bank is very big
00:45:01and has a lot of connections.
00:45:03It wasn't hard for them
00:45:04to find it in the assets
00:45:05of another bank
00:45:06that had failed.
00:45:07So he can just buy it
00:45:08and demand
00:45:09they will repay it now?
00:45:11I'm afraid so.
00:45:12Yeah?
00:45:12With interest
00:45:13and penalties,
00:45:14paying it
00:45:15will take everything.
00:45:16He'll own the ranch.
00:45:17They want to incorporate it
00:45:19into where we sorted
00:45:20our financing.
00:45:21There's nothing
00:45:22we can do to stop him.
00:45:23Well,
00:45:24I talked to the bank's lawyers
00:45:25and threatened
00:45:26to tie them up
00:45:27in lawsuits
00:45:27until we are old and gray,
00:45:29but
00:45:29I don't know
00:45:30if it will do any good
00:45:31to be honest.
00:45:32They said
00:45:33they would talk
00:45:33to Campanero.
00:45:35This is all my fault.
00:45:37No, it's my fault.
00:45:38I should have taken care
00:45:39of the loan years ago.
00:45:40No, it's my fault.
00:45:41If I didn't want to buy it,
00:45:44this wouldn't be happening.
00:45:45Hey, hey, guys.
00:45:47This is not anyone's fault,
00:45:49okay?
00:45:50Listen,
00:45:50I'm gonna make some more calls
00:45:52and go over the paperwork
00:45:53in more detail.
00:45:54Maybe there's a solution
00:45:55I'm not thinking of yet.
00:45:57Why don't you three
00:45:58go relax,
00:45:59enjoy the city,
00:46:00and we can meet
00:46:01back here later.
00:46:03Thank you, Antonio.
00:46:05What are old friends for?
00:46:08I think I'll stay here
00:46:10in case Antonio
00:46:11has any questions.
00:46:12Will you call me
00:46:13if anything comes up?
00:46:14I will.
00:46:15Okay.
00:46:15What would you like
00:46:18to do?
00:46:19When was the last time
00:46:20that you were
00:46:21in Buenos Aires?
00:46:22Not since I was a kid.
00:46:25Then allow me
00:46:26to be your tour guide.
00:46:27Okay.
00:46:27Come on.
00:46:27Come on.
00:46:31Come on.
00:46:32Come on.
00:46:32Come on.
00:46:32Come on.
00:46:33Come on.
00:46:34Come on.
00:46:35Come on.
00:46:36Come on.
00:46:41Come on.
00:46:41Come on.
00:46:42Come on.
00:46:44Come on.
00:46:45Come on.
00:46:46Come on.
00:46:46Come on.
00:46:47Come on.
00:46:55How will you ever go back?
00:46:57Honestly?
00:46:58I don't know.
00:46:59May I ask
00:46:59What happened with your job?
00:47:03Oh, it was...
00:47:05I was working for this big corporation that wanted to buy another big corporation
00:47:10and it was my job to figure out if it was a good idea
00:47:14and figure out a way to make it happen.
00:47:17Sounds complicated.
00:47:18It was what I was good at.
00:47:20I spent months researching and trying to figure out a way to make it happen
00:47:24without a lot of people losing their jobs.
00:47:26And I did.
00:47:27And it made sense.
00:47:30But?
00:47:30But.
00:47:32Turns out there were a lot of backroom dealings going on behind the scenes at my company
00:47:36and certain reports were changed before they got to me.
00:47:41But if I had known, I...
00:47:43So, they blamed you?
00:47:46Yeah.
00:47:47I was a fall guy.
00:47:49I don't know.
00:47:51Maybe I was just too focused on proving myself that I just didn't see what was really happening.
00:47:56Sort of like I'm doing with the ranch.
00:47:58I mean, your business plan is smart.
00:48:01I should have listened to you.
00:48:02I should have realized that you had a lot more things to worry about than what I wanted.
00:48:06I wanted to be free and I was free.
00:48:11But there's obviously more to that story.
00:48:13I hated my job.
00:48:15I was good at it, but I hated it.
00:48:17There was no soul in it.
00:48:18Every day I was going to meeting after meeting, making rich people richer.
00:48:23One day my father called.
00:48:25He said that he was thinking of retiring.
00:48:27He explained how much he loved the ranch and La Rambla, the life of the gaucho that he instilled in that place for so long.
00:48:34All about soul.
00:48:35Yes, soul.
00:48:37And I wanted more of that.
00:48:39Soul.
00:48:42A purpose, you know?
00:48:44So the next day I quit.
00:48:47You were right.
00:48:48When I was younger I didn't care about being a gaucho.
00:48:52It's true.
00:48:52But now I do.
00:48:54You take it very seriously.
00:48:56I do.
00:48:57It's like, what is it that they say in your country?
00:49:00Go big or go home.
00:49:01And you did both.
00:49:02I did both.
00:49:03You did both.
00:49:04I did.
00:49:13Do you want to dance?
00:49:16I can't dance tango.
00:49:18Dance something else.
00:49:19You're Argentinian.
00:49:20You could try.
00:49:20I'm only half Argentinian.
00:49:22The other half is content to watch.
00:49:28Did you dance with anyone in Boston?
00:49:31Are you asking me about my romantic history?
00:49:35We are in a romantic park.
00:49:38People dancing.
00:49:40It seems like a natural segue.
00:49:42I've had a few long-term relationships.
00:49:46I'm not in one right now, which is telling you how the previous ones went.
00:49:51Your choice or theirs?
00:49:53Mutual, mostly.
00:49:54I travel a lot for my job.
00:49:57Always in a different city for months at a time.
00:50:00Makes it difficult to stay connected to someone.
00:50:05Does it get lonely?
00:50:06Yeah.
00:50:08Occasionally.
00:50:09It also makes it exponentially easier.
00:50:11I don't remember you liking things easy.
00:50:16Ha.
00:50:17And what about you?
00:50:20My romantic history?
00:50:21Yeah.
00:50:21I was with someone for a couple of years when I lived in Mexico City.
00:50:27We worked together.
00:50:29She wouldn't have moved to a ranch.
00:50:31She loved her fancy shoes too much.
00:50:34And the suits.
00:50:35I don't think she would have given them up.
00:50:37Well, she should.
00:50:38Because these boots are much more comfortable.
00:50:42Do you want to give them a rest?
00:50:43Yeah.
00:50:44Did we ever dance together?
00:50:56I'm sure we have.
00:50:59Although you were pretty busy playing that old guitar.
00:51:03Do you still have it?
00:51:05Yes.
00:51:06I'm a bit rusty.
00:51:07I need to practice.
00:51:08How very gaucho of you.
00:51:14Is it okay to say that I've missed you?
00:51:24Only if it's okay for me to say that I've missed you too.
00:51:30When I got to Mexico City, I almost came back a dozen times.
00:51:38I actually even wrote you a letter.
00:51:40Did you send it ground?
00:51:46Because 15 years later, I still haven't gone yet.
00:51:51I never sent it.
00:51:55Why not?
00:51:59I thought you wouldn't answer.
00:52:00Well, for the record, I would have.
00:52:13You would?
00:52:18Oh, oh.
00:52:22Oh, um, it's Belinda.
00:52:25Antonio wants us back at the office.
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:28Yup.
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:33I also like you.
00:52:34Hey.
00:52:35What's going on?
00:52:37Campaneros lawyers got back to me.
00:52:39To avoid a lawsuit, they're willing to forgive the loan.
00:52:44Just like that?
00:52:45If you agree to sell them the ranch.
00:52:48And this is their final offer.
00:52:52This is less than what I offered.
00:52:54A lot less.
00:52:55It's not even close to what the land is worth.
00:52:58I know.
00:52:59And so do they.
00:53:00But if you don't accept it,
00:53:02they will press the issue of the loan and
00:53:03you'll get nothing.
00:53:06I'm sorry, guys.
00:53:07May I join you?
00:53:17Andres.
00:53:18Yes, of course.
00:53:22Wow, you're up early.
00:53:23Yeah.
00:53:24I couldn't sleep.
00:53:26You?
00:53:27Well, over the years I've been here,
00:53:29I've tried to find a way to make horses and cattle sleep till late.
00:53:33But they're set on their ways.
00:53:35Eh, they can't be stubborn.
00:53:37I'll have a talk with them.
00:53:38I appreciate that.
00:53:41So, Diego tells me you were thinking about retiring?
00:53:45Diego should learn to keep his big mouth shut.
00:53:47That was mine to tell you.
00:53:48I apologize.
00:53:49No, no, there's no need to.
00:53:51It seems as though it's moot at this point anyway.
00:53:56Once we sell the ranch to Campanaro.
00:54:02I'm gonna miss it here.
00:54:04I was born on this ranch.
00:54:06Raised my family on this ranch.
00:54:09You put up with me every summer on this ranch?
00:54:11When I said family, I was including you.
00:54:15I'm sorry I messed everything up.
00:54:17Oh, no, this is not your fault.
00:54:20And even if it was, I would forgive you.
00:54:23Just like I forgave you for sinking my truck in the river.
00:54:27Diego was driving.
00:54:29But it was your idea.
00:54:32I was joking.
00:54:33And besides, he didn't have to listen to me.
00:54:36Oh, of course he did.
00:54:38You would have driven that truck off a cliff, had you asked.
00:54:44I guess I was bad influence.
00:54:46Oh, no.
00:54:47You were good influence.
00:54:49You always made him...
00:54:52You connected him to the ground.
00:54:57I suspect that's why he's back here.
00:55:00I always thought it was this place that gave him that feeling.
00:55:02And now we're losing it.
00:55:08I should have trusted him.
00:55:10And he should have trusted you.
00:55:12But he is like the horses and the cattle.
00:55:15Very stubborn.
00:55:18But don't worry.
00:55:19I'll have a talk with him.
00:55:22I appreciate that.
00:55:32Hey.
00:55:33Hey.
00:55:36Those are the papers from the bank?
00:55:40They are.
00:55:43Did you sign them?
00:55:45No.
00:55:46We haven't until Friday at 5.
00:55:48I told Belinda we should wait until last minute.
00:55:52You're hoping to get a brilliant idea so you don't have to sign them?
00:55:56No.
00:55:56I just want to hold off as long as possible just to be difficult.
00:56:00You're good at that.
00:56:03Are you, uh, leading the horseback ride today?
00:56:07Yes.
00:56:08Uh, we have the gaucho camping trip.
00:56:12You should come.
00:56:14Yes, you must have a night in the pampas under the stars.
00:56:20I'd love to.
00:56:22Yes.
00:56:24One thing, though.
00:56:25Um, I'm not going to help you set up your tent.
00:56:29Why not?
00:56:31Just to be difficult.
00:56:35Got it.
00:56:37All right, I'll see you later.
00:56:38You're going camping with him?
00:56:47With him and a dozen tourists.
00:56:49Let's not make it a thing.
00:56:51But I think it is a thing.
00:56:53Are you and Antonio a thing?
00:56:54Oh, we're not a thing.
00:56:55Well, then we're not a thing.
00:56:57Okay.
00:56:57I need to set the table.
00:56:58For yourself?
00:57:00Antonio's coming over.
00:57:01He wants to review the contracts before we sign them.
00:57:06Mm-hmm.
00:57:08Antonio and I are not a thing.
00:57:10Neither are Diego and me.
00:57:13Have fun camping.
00:57:14Have fun at dinner.
00:57:15Hey, get off your phone.
00:57:45It wasn't business, I swear.
00:57:50It's just, um, I was, uh, looking at flights to Iguazú.
00:57:57Oh.
00:57:58When are you leaving?
00:57:59Well, if we sign the papers on Friday, then, well, sometime next week.
00:58:05Oh.
00:58:06Didn't your abuela used to tell a story about the legend of Iguazú?
00:58:11Do you remember that?
00:58:12Yeah.
00:58:13Well, I remember there's a story, just not exactly what the story is.
00:58:16Yeah.
00:58:17The legend of the Iguazú Falls.
00:58:19Mm-hmm.
00:58:19There once was a beautiful girl, Naipi, who lived in a village by the Iguazú River.
00:58:28She was so beautiful that a god wanted to marry her, not realizing that she was in love
00:58:36with a mortal, Tarawá.
00:58:39A great and noble warrior.
00:58:41I remember that.
00:58:42Yes.
00:58:42So, to escape the marriage, Tarawá and Naipi fled in a canoe down the river.
00:58:51Enraged, the god decided to slice the river in two, separating the lovers and creating the
00:58:59false, turning Naipi into a rock and Tarawá into a palm tree on the other side.
00:59:07So they can see each other but never touch.
00:59:10Exactly.
00:59:12But, one day, a rainbow appeared.
00:59:17A rainbow that's still there today, linking rock to tree.
00:59:23Bridging love for eternity.
00:59:29Do I sense dissatisfaction with the myth?
00:59:32It's just, why does every love story have to be about two people who can't be together?
00:59:41Well, because if they could be together, there would be no story.
00:59:57Come.
00:59:57Come.
00:59:58Do you know that letter I wrote?
01:00:12For what it's worth, I wish I'd sent it.
01:00:17Do you think it would have changed anything?
01:00:22I guess we'll never know.
01:00:23No.
01:00:28Do you still have it?
01:00:32I don't think so.
01:00:33I don't think so.
01:00:47How was camping?
01:00:48It was good.
01:00:50That's all I get?
01:00:51How was dinner with Antonio?
01:00:53It was good.
01:00:54Hmm.
01:00:55What are you working on?
01:00:58Plan B.
01:00:59Or C.
01:01:00Maybe D.
01:01:00I'm not sure what we're up to now.
01:01:02I don't understand.
01:01:05Well, the problem we have is money.
01:01:08Plain and simple.
01:01:10Even if Diego invested, we still don't have enough to pay off the loan and keep the ranch afloat.
01:01:16All right.
01:01:17So?
01:01:19So, we need another investor.
01:01:22Okay.
01:01:22I have one Hail Mary.
01:01:25Kevin Murphy.
01:01:25We used to work together when I got fired.
01:01:29He knew who was really at fault, but never came forward.
01:01:32He opened his own private equity firm.
01:01:33I'm hoping that he'll have mercy on us.
01:01:36And what if he doesn't?
01:01:37If he doesn't, then we have no choice.
01:01:41We have to sell to Campanaro.
01:01:43I'm sorry.
01:01:48It's okay.
01:01:50Really, I've been thinking about it.
01:01:52And maybe I can find a job as a chef in the city.
01:01:55You know, work my way up.
01:01:58Actually, no.
01:01:59I ran the numbers, and I think you'll still be able to open your restaurant.
01:02:02My half of what Campanaro is offering, it's not going to be enough.
01:02:08I know.
01:02:09That's why I'm giving you the whole thing.
01:02:12What?
01:02:13No.
01:02:14What are you going to live on?
01:02:16Well, I'm going to find a job somewhere.
01:02:19And I have my savings, and I can always sell my condo and rent again.
01:02:25No, no.
01:02:26You can't do that.
01:02:28Yes, I can.
01:02:29I can't do anything for me mejor, amiga.
01:02:38You know what?
01:02:39For this, I cook something special for dinner tonight.
01:02:43Every night.
01:02:44For the rest of your life.
01:02:46Well, I'm going to be a few thousand miles away.
01:02:48I'll ship it.
01:02:50Okay.
01:02:59I'll ship it.
01:03:29Are you okay?
01:03:31Yes.
01:03:31You know, everything's fine.
01:03:32I just, um...
01:03:34Well, I came to tell you that I'm leaving.
01:03:36We're signing the papers on Friday, and I'm going to leave on Saturday.
01:03:42So soon?
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:44I could still stop at Icosu Falls, and I need to be back in Boston on Monday so I can start
01:03:52looking for a job.
01:03:54Right.
01:03:56Anyway, I just, um...
01:03:58I really wanted to tell you that.
01:04:01Well, I can't actually let you leave without that tango you owe me.
01:04:08Diego, I can't dance tango.
01:04:11I'm a great teacher.
01:04:13What, here?
01:04:14Yes.
01:04:15Oh.
01:04:16Okay.
01:04:18Okay, follow me.
01:04:19Okay.
01:04:21Forward with your left.
01:04:23Oh.
01:04:23Oh.
01:04:23And then you're going to go sideways with your right.
01:04:25Okay.
01:04:26And then back.
01:04:27Back.
01:04:28Oh.
01:04:29And together.
01:04:30Very good.
01:04:31Okay.
01:04:31That's one.
01:04:32Come on.
01:04:33So you go foot.
01:04:35Side.
01:04:37Good.
01:04:38Boom.
01:04:39One.
01:04:40One more.
01:04:41Yeah.
01:04:43Now you're going to do the same thing.
01:04:46But you're going to do it like this.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:52All right.
01:04:54Good.
01:04:54That's really good.
01:04:59Really good.
01:05:08I hate your phone so much.
01:05:12I know.
01:05:12Me too.
01:05:13But I have to take it.
01:05:17Hello?
01:05:18Hi, Kevin.
01:05:21Yeah?
01:05:23Make it up to me how?
01:05:26What kind of job?
01:05:31Yes, I will be in Boston by Monday.
01:05:35Thank you so much.
01:05:37That sounded like good news.
01:05:40No.
01:05:40No, no, no.
01:05:41It was great news.
01:05:43That was solve everything news.
01:05:45What do you mean?
01:05:46Come.
01:05:51Hey.
01:05:52Hey.
01:05:53I'm here.
01:05:54Catch me up.
01:05:54Well, my former co-worker, Kevin Murphy.
01:05:59The one who knew that you shouldn't have been fired?
01:06:02Right.
01:06:03He can't offer to invest.
01:06:05But he says he feels terrible about not coming forward back then.
01:06:08That he wants to make up for it by giving me a job.
01:06:13Congrats.
01:06:15Doing what?
01:06:15A business strategy.
01:06:17Exactly what I was doing before.
01:06:19Only I wouldn't be doing it as a consultant.
01:06:21I'd be doing it full time in his company.
01:06:24It means I could just stay in one place for a change.
01:06:29Congratulations.
01:06:30You found your solid ground.
01:06:33Yeah.
01:06:35This is all wonderful news, but what does it have to do with the ranch?
01:06:39Well, now that I have an income, I can use my savings and the money I can get for selling
01:06:44my condo to pay off the loan.
01:06:47Then, Diego can buy us out with what you originally offered.
01:06:52But this is where I have an issue.
01:06:55Your half of the sale is less than what you've been putting in to pay off the loan.
01:07:00I agree.
01:07:01I mean, you are putting in $10 to get back $5.
01:07:03Yeah, but guys, this wasn't about the money.
01:07:06I did it.
01:07:08I figured out a way to get everyone what they wanted.
01:07:12You are getting your ranch.
01:07:13You're getting your restaurant, and I'm getting my life back in Boston, knowing that the ranch
01:07:19is in good hands with Diego's dreams for it, and not some greedy bank.
01:07:24Antonio, do you think this will work?
01:07:26As long as you pay off the loan, the ranch is yours to do with as you see fit, yeah.
01:07:31Abril, are you sure you want to do this?
01:07:34Yes.
01:07:36I love this place.
01:07:38And I love all of you.
01:07:40You are my family.
01:07:43Let me do this.
01:07:44Antonio talked to Campañaro's lawyers.
01:08:11They blastered a bit, but in the end, as long as we pay off the loan, there's nothing
01:08:17they can do to stop us.
01:08:20Great.
01:08:20He's going to draw the contracts and bring them over tonight.
01:08:23That's wonderful.
01:08:26Well, I can tell you're excited.
01:08:29No, no, I am.
01:08:30I am.
01:08:31I am excited.
01:08:32You're going to get the restaurant, Diego gets the ranch, and I'm going to go back home
01:08:35and start a new job.
01:08:36I think everybody's going to get what they wanted.
01:08:39Is it what everyone wanted?
01:08:44Yes.
01:08:45Then we should celebrate.
01:08:47We'll have an asado.
01:08:48Are you watching the chorizo?
01:09:17Yes, on it.
01:09:20You know, this is exactly the kind of restaurant you should open.
01:09:24A modern take on asado.
01:09:26I only have two requests.
01:09:28One, that you open the restaurant within walking distance of my office, so I can have lunch
01:09:34there every single day.
01:09:37I'll do my best.
01:09:39What's the second?
01:09:39But once you get settled, you let me take you out on a date.
01:09:47Yes.
01:09:48Definitely yes.
01:09:50Yes.
01:09:50You were supposed to be on the chorizo.
01:09:57I am.
01:09:58I just got distracted.
01:09:59No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:01No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:01No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:02No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:03No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:04No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:05No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:06No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:07No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:08No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:09No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:10No me quemes el chorizo, puede ser.
01:10:11Y ya no te demores, compañero, de entender la vida, solo somos pasajeros.
01:10:27Abril, I thought you said you didn't remember any Spanish and you sang all the words.
01:10:32Oh, well that's different. We used to sing that all the time by the campfire when we were kids.
01:10:36You know, we just need to turn every conversation into a song.
01:10:40No, no, no. We all heard Andres singing.
01:10:42Oh, we always sing together, honey.
01:10:44I know.
01:10:46So Diego, now that you own the ranch, why don't you tell us all your grand plans for it?
01:10:51I don't know about grand, but the first thing I want to do is expand the ranch house so we can host overnight guests.
01:11:00Oh, well that would be great for the sunrise trail rides.
01:11:03Yeah.
01:11:05I love this song. Do you remember? We used to sing it by the river.
01:11:10I sing it by the river.
01:11:12I sing it by the moon because that's nothing more.
01:11:16Porque alumbra nada más
01:11:22Le canto porque ella sabe
01:11:26De mi largo caminar
01:11:30Le canto porque ella sabe
01:11:34De mi largo caminar
01:11:39Alunita tucumana
01:11:44Camborosito calchaquí
01:11:49Compañera de los gauchos
01:11:53En las sendas del tafí
01:11:56Compañera de los gauchos
01:12:01En las sendas del tafí
01:12:05Compañera de los gauchos
01:12:10Y sabe mi vida y por donde andaré
01:12:14Hey. Hi.
01:12:18Anything wrong?
01:12:20No, no, no.
01:12:21It's just, um...
01:12:22It's been a long day.
01:12:24Was it my singing?
01:12:25No. No, I loved it.
01:12:28I loved all of it.
01:12:30This is, um...
01:12:33This is my solid ground.
01:12:36My family...
01:12:39What are you saying?
01:12:42I-I don't know if I want to let go of this place.
01:12:47You don't want to say it?
01:12:51What if...
01:12:53You can still buy out Belinda
01:12:56But then...
01:12:58You and I could be...
01:13:00Partners?
01:13:02I-I know that I don't know much about the gaucho experience
01:13:06But I know a lot about business
01:13:08And-and I think that...
01:13:10We could be a good team.
01:13:12Do you want to stay?
01:13:18Well...
01:13:19Not full time.
01:13:21I-I...
01:13:22The job back home would get me very busy
01:13:24But I can still provide value.
01:13:25I can...
01:13:26I can help with business plans
01:13:29And figure out ways to save money
01:13:31And maximize synergies and...
01:13:33Back in Boston.
01:13:35Yeah.
01:13:37I-I would...
01:13:39Come visit.
01:13:40I can even work remotely.
01:13:42It's only an hour difference and...
01:13:44I can spend summers here.
01:13:47What do you think?
01:13:50No.
01:13:53No.
01:13:55Sorry, Odin.
01:13:58I don't want a partner.
01:14:01And...
01:14:02I'd rather do it myself.
01:14:05Yeah.
01:14:06Yeah.
01:14:07No, of course.
01:14:08I-I understand.
01:14:09It was just an idea.
01:14:10It probably would not have worked anyway.
01:14:15I will sign the papers in the morning
01:14:18And then head to the airport.
01:14:21Yeah.
01:14:26Come.
01:14:27Yeah.
01:14:28Yeah.
01:14:29I'll-I'll be right there.
01:14:30Okay.
01:14:31I think I'm ready to-
01:14:33Okay, I think I'm ready to-
01:14:35What did you do?
01:14:36I made some snacks for the plane right home.
01:14:37pastelitos alfajour
01:14:39Okay, I think I'm ready to...
01:15:01What did you do?
01:15:03I made some snacks for the Plain Bright Home.
01:15:06Pastelitos, alfajores, arrollado y churros de dulce de leche, and the flan is in the oven.
01:15:12Belle, I only have the one suitcase.
01:15:16You can borrow one of mine.
01:15:18Belle, you are kind and generous and more than a little loca.
01:15:26And I love you.
01:15:32Stop, you're gonna make me cry.
01:15:34No, you're right, you're right. No crying.
01:15:36In the business strategy world, we call this a net positive outcome.
01:15:41Take the win.
01:15:43Okay.
01:15:44But you will come back to visit?
01:15:46Yes, I will.
01:15:48I'll even bring toaster pastries.
01:15:51I should go.
01:15:55Okay, I'll go get that suitcase.
01:15:57Belle, no, I can't take another suitcase.
01:16:01At least I carry on.
01:16:02Yeah.
01:16:03Yes.
01:16:04Yes.
01:16:05Yes.
01:16:06Yes.
01:16:07Yes.
01:16:08Yes.
01:16:09I see.
01:16:10Yes.
01:16:11Yes.
01:16:12Yes.
01:16:13Yes.
01:16:14Well, yes.
01:16:15Yes.
01:16:16My wife.
01:16:17Yes.
01:16:18Yes.
01:16:19My wife.
01:16:20Yes.
01:16:21You're right.
01:16:22Yes.
01:16:24Yes.
01:16:26Yes.
01:16:28I'm sorry.
01:16:29Hi.
01:16:31Hey.
01:16:33Finally going to the airport.
01:16:35Yeah, I didn't see that.
01:16:38I signed the papers.
01:16:40I, uh, Antonio's coming by to pick them up a little later.
01:16:44Okay. Thank you.
01:16:50So, will you be going to Iwasu Falls on your way?
01:16:53I am, yeah.
01:16:54Well, send pictures.
01:16:56I will.
01:16:58And thank you for everything.
01:17:00No, thank you.
01:17:03Thank you, um...
01:17:05Sometimes there are no English words that I could use, um...
01:17:10Then say it in Spanish.
01:17:12Okay, you're all set.
01:17:14Although I'm not sure you'll be able to get the flan through the airport security.
01:17:18It'll be fine, huh? I'll just share some.
01:17:21I'll take it.
01:17:23Come here.
01:17:25Please tell Antonio I say goodbye.
01:17:29Of course.
01:17:30You're still here.
01:17:31We thought we'd missed you.
01:17:33No, just in time.
01:17:34Oh.
01:17:38Don't be a stranger.
01:17:39I won't.
01:17:40I won't.
01:17:52Okay.
01:17:54Goodbye.
01:17:55Abril.
01:17:56Adios, Diego.
01:17:58Have a good trip.
01:18:20Ah!
01:20:21I'm going to deliver this in person, finally.
01:20:24Before you open it, it's in Spanish.
01:20:28Well, then I guess you'll have to translate.
01:20:31You're the one that left.
01:20:41Come home.
01:20:45That's a long letter to say just that.
01:20:49I paraphrased.
01:20:50You're the one that left.
01:20:55I wanted to stay.
01:20:57I didn't think you would.
01:20:59I didn't think you would.
01:21:03Every time you left, it broke my heart.
01:21:06And now I was young.
01:21:10I was too proud.
01:21:11Too scared to tell you how I really felt.
01:21:14But now, I'm not going to make that mistake again.
01:21:20Come home.
01:21:21I thought you didn't want a partner.
01:21:25I thought I had to do it alone, to be strong.
01:21:30But I realized that I know that it would be stronger if we would be doing it together.
01:21:35And, you know, not every love story has to be about two people who can't be together.
01:21:43Some stories are about us.
01:21:45I love you.
01:21:54And I have loved you since the day we met.
01:22:15I love you.
01:22:45Come on, Gaucho.
01:22:56We have a sunrise trail to lead.
01:23:00Yeah.
01:23:01Let's go.
01:23:02Let's go.
01:23:15Let's go.
01:23:16Let's go.
01:23:20You
