[indistinct chatter]
Look, we got a lot to unload.
Give us a hand.
We still got a lot to do.
I must have gone by this place
a thousand times,
but never paid attention.
I mean, yes,
I saw it, but
Julio.
What we do in jail is important.
But this is essential.
Yes, of course.
It might be essential,
but it doesn't solve anything.
It helps them through another day.
It It It may not be much,
but that's what we can do.
[Tadeo] Remigio.
How come there's so few kids today?
[Remigio] They're probably at Mass.
Mass at church?
No, there's this kid they call The Fish.
You mean the blessed Fish.
Uh, when does he show up here?
They have so much respect for him,
I'm curious.
He's never seen.
What do the kids do with The Fish?
The Fish is like a guide around here.
To the kids,
every word Jonathan says is sacred.
He says good things. He helps the kids.
On a good day, when there are no cops,
he gathers how many?
- A whole bunch.
- Fifty, 60 kids, probably more.
He teaches them useful stuff.
[man] Like if a cop offers them work,
they'll end up being exploited
and then they become
like a, uh, like a slave.
Yes, The Fish is right.
Cops grab a kid, get them to steal
and kill them
when they're no longer useful.
- [sirens wailing]
- [kids scream]
[screaming]
The Fish, is he still there?
C C C
Can you give this to The Fish for me?
Tell him it's our address.
Whatever he needs, anything,
he can count on us.
In our home
no cops can come.

BASTARDS
[Roberta] Look, Cárdenas.
This isn't a formal interrogation.
In order for it to be,
your lawyer should be present.
Now, you asked to see me, here I am.
Hm? I'm gonna ask you to stop insisting
that you acted alone
because I don't believe it.
Why not?
You don't think I can?
It has nothing to do with that.
It's about motive.
Why would you want to kill the pastor?
You killed for a reason.
- Or because you were asked.
- I did my part.
You do yours.
You're not doing your part.
You're only pretending to.
What is it you want me to say exactly?
Write it out for me.
I'll memorize it, repeat it, and sign it.
But bring me Tadeo Vázquez
once and for all.
Thank you.
[ominous music playing]
[Tadeo] I'm counting on you tonight.
Are you coming with me to deliver food?
[Julio] I'm kind of busy today, Tadeo.
No way I can go.
[sighs] You're still mad?
No, I'm not mad.
But you know how things are right now.
It's not about us, Julio.
There are people expecting us tonight.
If we don't show up,
they don't get a meal.
Listen
You do your part, Tadeo,
and I'll do mine. Okay?
Get down.
[Roberta]
I've asked the judge to authorize visits.
We'll see what comes out of the
conversation between Vázquez and Cárdenas.
[Lamas] Too bad we can't listen in on it.
You know very well
that's not how I do things.
- It's just wishful thinking.
- Yeah. Keep your wishes to yourself.
After that meeting,
pieces are gonna start moving.
You'll have to be on your toes, got it?
- Yes, ma'am, I've got it.
- Right.
It's too bad.
Think of how much progress we'd make
if we were flies on the wall
during the conversation.
Days'
weeks' worth of progress even.
It really sucks we're not flies.
Is there some kind of legal way
we can be flies?
Don't worry.
It'll be fine.
[car engine starts]
[ominous music playing]
[woman and man speaking indistinctly]
CAACUPÉ SCHOOL
The helmet.
[Tadeo] How are you?
Do you like soccer?
- Yes.
- Yes?
Now, this is Facundo, Enzo.
You'll soon get to know each other.
Right, boys? This is Brian.
- He'll be staying with us for a few days.
- [all] Hi, Brian.
Okay.
Come, Tadeo.
What's up with you?
[ominous music continues]
[chattering]
- Thank you.
- This way.
- [beeps]
- You've got 15 minutes.
Did you get the message?
I think so.
So?
Is he safe?
You led him to safe ground?
I took another to safe ground.
He He told me the one in danger
was one of his friends.
I took him to Mass.
[exhales]
He's the one who's in danger.
He's the one the devil was looking at.
You've had the devil stare at you.
We never discussed this,
but I know you have.
This is worse, Tadeo.
Much worse.
- He's untouchable.
- Untouchable?
The devil wants him for himself.
You have to save him.
The priest's protection isn't enough.
If it's him, certainly not.
You gotta take him out for good.
You'll need papers and some of that.
Y Y Yes.
But how do I get it?
Peg Leg.
He got Panther out.
Yeah, I remember.
- I'm gonna need gravy.
- Yes.
Lots.
There's some.
Protected by Christ.
"Blessed are the poor."
Number 30.
Do you fish?
- Yes, I fish.
- At night.
When no one is around.
I'll try.
Once it's done,
I'll be at peace
and pay for what I've done.
God will take care of you.
I know He understands it all.
He'll care for you.
[knocking on door]
What's going on? I didn't get
a word of what you said to me.
He's the Godsend!
Do you know what that means?
- Who's the Godsend?
- The Fish!
What are you talking about?
The Fish is God's messenger, Julio.
The Fish?
You mean the kid from the projects?
Remigio, you better not have woken me up
at 3:00 in the morning for some bullshit.
He's in danger.
And he's chosen us to protect him, Julio.
- [Tadeo] It's about time.
- Came as quick as I could. What happened?
A policeman was hurt.
- While running away
- We didn't hurt anyone.
N No. It wasn't them.
There was a confusion, and a policeman
was hurt during the incident.
[boy 1] There was no confusion.
A pig shot another pig.
That's why they ran us off.
Okay. So who did that to you?
Nobody. I fell down the stairs
while I was running away.
[Tadeo] A cop went looking for a kid.
They went in the house,
they ransacked the place
and found nothing, so they went after him.
They wanted the Head.
He wouldn't steal for them
and stood them up.
We went to hide out in subway tunnels.
The Fish is the Godsend, Julio.
You. Tell him about the miracle.
It was total darkness.
All of a sudden,
the lights started going on and off.
- Working for us.
- [boy 1] Jonathan had turned them on.
But before the police left,
The Fish turned the lights off again.
- That was right after the gunshot.
- Gunshot? What gunshot?
[boy 1] A pig grabbed me
and wanted to take me away.
I resisted, but he kept at it.
Then The Fish showed up
and told him to let me go.
Yeah, he told him to come clean.
We knew that pig from the projects.
He used to play with us.
Then The Fish asked him,
"Which side are you on?"
And the guy understood what he said.
[Remigio] How could he not?
He could've ended up as one of them.
[boy 1] And the guy who grabbed me
lets me go.
Then The Fish, he tells me to run away.
[boy 2] Other cop shows up, points his
gun at The Fish, meaning to kill him.
And the guy who grabbed me steps
between them so he wouldn't get shot.
- But he did.
- The cop did.
[Tadeo] The cops will come.
We cannot surrender the kids.
Let's hope the policeman is not dead.
If he's dead and you don't collaborate,
the foundation is in jeopardy.
He's not dead. He'll be fine.
- All right.
- He took out the bullet, healed the wound.
I hope he's okay.
But I find this story
doesn't make much sense.
If I talk to the police,
I can't talk about miracles,
lights turning on and off,
a healing wound. It won't do.
What? What does it matter
if it was a miracle?
That's how the kids saw it,
and that's how it is.
That's what happened.
[Julio sighs]
[dramatic music playing]
[sirens wailing]
They're here.
They can't come in
without a search warrant.
With or without one, they'll never
let the kids off the hook. I'll go.
All right, but I do the talking.
[sirens continue wailing]
[Tadeo] Sit over there and be quiet.
D D Don't move, all right? I'll be back.
[sirens continue wailing]
[dramatic music playing]
[sirens stop]
[Remigio] You can't come in.
[cop 1] I need you to step aside.
We gotta get into that building.
[Julio] Who's the officer in charge?
[cop 1] Sir, stand back, please.
[cop 2] You're gonna have to
get out of my way. We came for the kids.
[Remigio] No, no, you're not coming in.
- [cop 1] I need you to step aside.
- [Remigio] Stay away.
[cop 2] Hey, watch it.
He's not gonna tell you again.
All right. We're leaving.
LET US LIFT UP OUR HEARTS
WITH OUR HANDS TO GOD IN HEAVEN
BLESSED ARE THE POOR
[Lamas] I still don't get the devil thing.
Those guys are all nutjobs.
They clearly need someone
out of the country.
- And they need help from Peg Leg?
- Looks like it.
- I don't get the thing about the gravy.
- What's gravy?
Gravy is green stuff, money.
To get someone out of the country,
you need fake documents.
- To obtain these, you need gravy.
- Okay, I get it.
I don't understand
where he sent him to get it.
"Blessed are the poor."
"Blessed are the poor."
There's the money.
[Lamas] The temple is a bank.
I got a tip from an informant.
Very reliable.
We know exactly where.
And with your boy here,
we found it online.
The walls are full of money.
They must be hollow.
[Lamas] Dirty money, for sure.
- Laundered through different routes.
- Hmm.
To understand a crime, the money trail
is always a good thing to follow.
- We should file for a search warrant.
- Yes.
Yeah, but that's insufficient evidence.
We need a better reason.
I don't think the judge
is gonna rule on a simple tip.
I can get you another informant too
if you want.
Fake informants?
Ma'am, who do you take me for?
I'll give it a try.
I'll file for the search warrant.
You better work your ass off
on those documents.
The petition must be flawless.
- Yes. Got it.
- Got it? Very well. Now get to work.
BLESSED ARE THE POOR
FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!
[dramatic music playing]
[clanging]
[footsteps approaching]
[door creaking]
[indistinct chatter]
[screw clangs]
[door closes]
[knocks on door]
Excuse me.
- You have a minute?
- I was gonna take a shower.
- I really need you to help me.
- You know my terms.
Julio, there are people who won't eat
if we d don't show up.
Then you go.
I know you're mad at me.
There a a are many things
I can't tell you. You're right, it's true.
But you need to trust me.
In that message, Remigio was asking me
to take care of someone.
And the only way for me to do that
is to take him far away from here.
But while I'm gone,
I need you to take care of three things.
Someone I support financially,
the children's home,
and the people
who are expecting us tonight.
No, I can't go today. I already told you.
[sighs]
They followed me all the way here.
- Who did?
- I I have no idea.
For a few days,
a car has been following me.
Hide me in your car and get me out.
Come with me,
and I'll tell you everything I know.
I really need you today.
[beeping]
[ominous music playing]
No one tailing us.
[cell phone buzzing]
Yes, read it.
We always knew he was a difficult kid.
And with regard
to the total control of Emilio,
he's the last real hurdle left right now.
Mm-hm.
Yes.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Let's move forward.
Uh, it's the next left.
Where are we going?
First, we drop off some money.
It's where you'll have to drop off
what I send every month
until I I'm back.
Thank you.
Who lives there?
My mother.
I thought your mother was dead.
That's what Emilio said.
But I found out later she's not.
This lady was spying on me
every day after school.
I followed her one day.
I saw her going into that house,
and I found out.
You never said anything.
N N No.
I realized they did
what they thought was best for me.
There was a reason, uh
she couldn't raise me.
For some reason, Emilio thought it would
be best for me to believe she was dead.
They must have wanted
to spare me some pain.
I care for her from a distance.
It makes me feel better
knowing she's okay.
You think you'll ever speak
to your father again?
I saw him a few days ago.
Shouldn't have.
He
He's the father of the guy I used to be.
I don't wanna be that guy anymore.
D Do you realize
that we're both bastards?
[both chuckle]
It's s probably why
we've been getting along since we met.
- Do we get along?
- Whether you like it or not.
[both laugh]
- Julio. How you doing? Good?
- Hey. How are things? Good.
Come on, come on in.
These go on the top shelf.
[sighs]
[pensive music playing]
I'll be right back.
- Yes?
- You did validate the informant, right?
- [phone rings]
- That way we can
- D.A. Candia.
- [man] Candia, how are you?
Mr. Attorney General. How are you doing?
Did you apply for a search warrant
for the temple on San Juan Street?
Uh, yes, sir.
Yes, I did so a few hours ago.
We were just about to
Drop everything you're doing
and come here now.
This is getting ridiculous.
- I want you in my office in ten minutes.
- Yes, sir.
On my way.
[sighs]
It looks like this warrant
is gonna cost me my job.
What is it?
[whispers] I lied.
About what?
The commissioner and I lied to you.
There's no informant.
What do you mean, no informant?
But for sure there are grounds
for a search warrant.
The temple is full of money.
And how do you know that
if there's no informant?
No.
- Yes, we both listened in on the meeting.
- Ugh!
Why would you do that?
It's such stupid bullshit.
I know, I'm sorry. It's done.
- [groans]
- But on the other hand,
now we know exactly where the gravy is.
The what?
The money.
Finding the money
will definitely raise many more questions.
If you go ahead with the raid,
instead of losing your job, you get kudos.
Good morning, how are you? Good morning.
Come down with me.
I wanna know everything.
They told me last night.
It will air Sunday
during the prime time news program.
We have three days.
What are they gonna say?
Everything. Your whole life and more.
The girlfriend of the boy you killed
will be in the studio,
and they will introduce her.
The Russian roulette story.
Some old friend of yours
who doesn't like you anymore.
A prison guard.
In other words,
nothing that would make you look good.
And to top it all
They'll say you only made it
this far in the party
because you're involved
with the pastor's daughter.
Ana is also part of the report.
[ominous music playing]
The sons of bitches.
Don't take it personally, uh
It's not against you.
They wanna bring Emilio down.
Obviously, you and Ana
are the weakest link.
I don't know how I could have missed it.
The only thing I care about is Ana.
Oh, well
It's like you have the worst karma.
You had all the makings
of a successful lawyer
and you fuck it all up.
You pull yourself together,
you become the key figure
of a presidential candidate
and screw that up too.
It seems like everything you touch
Never mind.
Is your passport up to date?
We'll take care of Emilio,
and once the storm is over, you come back.
You don't have a single piece of evidence
to make a search
and a ton to close the case.
And you choose the worst option.
Plus, you have a killer who is insane.
You need a psychiatric report.
Get one already.
Present the case to a judge for a trial.
We have absolutely no right to dump
this whole mess on our democracy.
Yes, yes, sir, you're right.
You're right.
I'll send the case to trial
as soon as possible.
But first, there's something
I need to take care of.
You see, the press is demanding facts.
They're watching our every move, hm?
A psychiatric assessment is fine,
but is not newsworthy.
But a raid is. That's newsworthy.
Let me order that search, okay?
Let's show the press
that we're doing our job.
That we're exploring all avenues
in order to uncover more evidence.
Then I'll close. Hm?
You see, I really don't think
it would be good for us
to have the press accuse us
of not being methodical.
You're right about that.
- You have to give the media something.
- Sure.
After that, if he wants to,
the judge can close.
Mmm. Yes, he'll want to.
Get me Judge Larraín, please.
Always a good idea
to throw a bone to the media.
Oh, yeah. Hm.
[reporters clamoring]
I don't care what's written in this paper.
This is the house of God.
[Elena] Look what I found.
- Someone ratted on us.
- Where was it?
On the floor, nearby.
I don't like this at all.
Now go and check
that everything's in order.
No, everything is in order.
No, Dad, there's nothing we can do.
Right.
Ramiro. Let's proceed. Let's go.
All right, let's move.
[reporter] Pastor Emilio. A comment?
Good evening.
You need to get the camera.
We need pictures. Hm?
Go and see what they're doing.
[indistinct chatter]
[woman]
Yes. They don't have anything to say.
No comment.
[reporter 1] What happened? What happened?
Sir, what's going on?
[reporter 2] Over here. Quick question.
- [reporter 3] Who's that?
- [reporter 4] Judge Larraín.
[reporter 3] Oh, can someone
tell us what's happening?
[reporter 4] What's going on?
CHURCH OF THE KINGDOM OF LIGH
- [officer] Let's go.
- [Roberta] Over there.
Stop right there.
This search is suspended.
- [officer] What?
- Your reason for suspension?
Lack of evidence.
What do you mean? The attorney general
The attorney general is the
attorney general, but I'm the judge, see?
Here's my handwritten
stay of search warrant,
which puts an end to all of this nonsense.
[tense music playing]
Get out of here!
I want each and every one of you
out of the Church of Christ!
[reporter 1] What do you
think they're looking for?
[reporters clamoring]
[reporter 2] Excuse me.
[speaking indistinctly]
Sorry, no comment at this time. Sorry.
No. Please, let me through.
What are you doing here?
Are you hiding?
The judge arrived
just in time to stop them.
I just can't wait
to be far away from here.
Sweetie.
Don't stay down there like that.
Don't worry, they're gone now.
I don't want to hurt you, my love.
I swear to God.
Why are you saying that?
You're not hurting me.
I have no right to drag you into this.
[sniffles]
Drag me into what? What happened?
I killed that boy.
You didn't kill him.
It was an accident, Julio.
No. I killed him.
No.
And even if you did,
you've paid your dues.
You completed your sentence.
You did the time.
It's a thing of the past.
On Sunday, there will be
a news report on TV about me.
About my past.
Any idea who's behind this?
An insider.
Maybe Osorio himself.
He wants me out of the picture,
unrestricted access to your father.
He suggested I leave the country.
Maybe it's for the best. Who knows.
I swear to you,
I don't care what they say about me,
but you? No.
What about me?
They'll talk about you too.
So what? Let them talk.
Can't you see
everything I'm involved in I screw up?
I'm cursed.
Cursed?
My family is getting to you.
You keep talking like that,
and you'll end up saying the devil
The The devil
This might sound crazy, but what if
you were to double down on them?
Play their game, but take it further.
Steal the show.
Come clean. Beat them to it.
By the time it airs on Sunday,
it will be old news and nobody will care.
Since when does the truth matter?
All they care about is the show, right?
Well, set up your own show. Redemption.
[pensive music playing]
Let's do it.
But it needs to come from the heart.
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me. Who called you?
No one. But there's a rumor that
the candidate is going to do something.
Welcome. Photos and recordings
are allowed, but no flash, please.
Thank you very much.
[sanctus bells jingling in rhythm]
[jingling stops]
Today,
by the will of Christ, our Lord,
we are going to expel
the demon from the body
of our most beloved Julio Clamens.
[grunting]
[woman] Here he comes.
[woman whispering indistinctly]
- [man] What is he gonna do next?
- [woman] He doesn't look well.
Hm.
Julio.
[Julio grunts]
Release him.
Let him go. It's okay.
[Julio breathing heavily]
Calm down.
I'm going to invoke Jesus Christ
to expel the demon
that's taken ahold of your body.
And our brothers are going to help us.
[Julio grunts]
[jingling resumes]
[chanting] Get out, demon, get out, demon
Get out, demon.
Get out, demon.
Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- Angel of the shadows
- Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- prince of darkness
- Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- leave the body of Julio.
- Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- Now, go. It's showtime. You can do it.
- Get out, demon, get out, demon
- No!
- [Emilio] Christ, please expel the demon
from the body
of our beloved Julio Clamens.
[Julio yells]
Get out, demon.
- Out, you evil spirit!
- [grunting]
Out, you evil spirit!
- Now!
- [groans]
[Emilio] Jesus Christ, our Lord,
I call on you to help me expel
for once and forever,
my Lord, the demon
from the body of Julio Clamens.
[Julio screams]
Get out, demon, get out, demon
[Emilio] On the count of three,
we will drive out Lucifer from his body.
Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- [Julio] No!
- Get out, demon, get out, demon.
One. Leave him on my order!
- Away, you.
- [Julio yells]
Get out, demon
Two! By the power of Jesus of Nazareth,
I command you!
- Get out, demon!
- Get out!
Get out, demon, get out, demon.
Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- You are defeated!
- [screams]
- Get out, demon
- Get out, demon
Get out, demon
Out, demon! Three!
- [screams]
- [chanting and jangling stop]
[groans]
[panting]
[gasping]
- [Julio breathes heavily]
- [Emilio] Get up.
You are clean, my son.
Your heart
is clean.
Do you feel better?
The devil has abandoned your body.
All that's left for you to do
is to speak truthfully.
[groaning]
The devil took my life to the limit.
I don't know
what I was looking for in alcohol.
And in drugs.
But I didn't find it.
I put my friends in danger.
One of them died because of me.
You've hurt a lot of people.
- [Julio sobs]
- Did a lot of harm.
All of them.
I hurt everyone I ever cared about.
What about Ana? You intend to hurt her?
No.
Ana? Never.
How would you describe
what you feel for her?
Do you love her?
I love Ana like I've never loved before.
I never thought possible a love so deep.
Come on. Stand up.
My friends,
this is love, triumphant.
Give praise to Jesus Christ.
- [all] Praise be Jesus Christ.
- Cancel Sunday.
[Emilio] Praise be Jesus Christ.
The show won't air.
I don't think it ever will.
- [Emilio] God bless.
- [all] Christ
It will be hard getting rid of that kid.
Yeah.
I'll tell you later.
[all] Praise be Jesus Christ!
- [Emilio] Praise be Jesus Christ!
- [all] Praise be Jesus Christ!
[footsteps approaching]
I've been looking for you everywhere.
I saw Remigio. He sends his best.
I promised him
we'd both go away for a while.
I'll take care of you.
D Don't be afraid.
I'll keep you safe.

[indistinct chatter]
Look, we got a lot to unload.
Give us a hand.
We still got a lot to do.
I must have gone by this place
a thousand times,
but never paid attention.
I mean, yes,
I saw it, but
Julio.
What we do in jail is important.
But this is essential.
Yes, of course.
It might be essential,
but it doesn't solve anything.
It helps them through another day.
It It It may not be much,
but that's what we can do.
[Tadeo] Remigio.
How come there's so few kids today?
[Remigio] They're probably at Mass.
Mass at church?
No, there's this kid they call The Fish.
You mean the blessed Fish.
Uh, when does he show up here?
They have so much respect for him,
I'm curious.
He's never seen.
What do the kids do with The Fish?
The Fish is like a guide around here.
To the kids,
every word Jonathan says is sacred.
He says good things. He helps the kids.
On a good day, when there are no cops,
he gathers how many?
- A whole bunch.
- Fifty, 60 kids, probably more.
He teaches them useful stuff.
[man] Like if a cop offers them work,
they'll end up being exploited
and then they become
like a, uh, like a slave.
Yes, The Fish is right.
Cops grab a kid, get them to steal
and kill them
when they're no longer useful.
- [sirens wailing]
- [kids scream]
[screaming]
The Fish, is he still there?
C C C
Can you give this to The Fish for me?
Tell him it's our address.
Whatever he needs, anything,
he can count on us.
In our home
no cops can come.

BASTARDS
[Roberta] Look, Cárdenas.
This isn't a formal interrogation.
In order for it to be,
your lawyer should be present.
Now, you asked to see me, here I am.
Hm? I'm gonna ask you to stop insisting
that you acted alone
because I don't believe it.
Why not?
You don't think I can?
It has nothing to do with that.
It's about motive.
Why would you want to kill the pastor?
You killed for a reason.
- Or because you were asked.
- I did my part.
You do yours.
You're not doing your part.
You're only pretending to.
What is it you want me to say exactly?
Write it out for me.
I'll memorize it, repeat it, and sign it.
But bring me Tadeo Vázquez
once and for all.
Thank you.
[ominous music playing]
[Tadeo] I'm counting on you tonight.
Are you coming with me to deliver food?
[Julio] I'm kind of busy today, Tadeo.
No way I can go.
[sighs] You're still mad?
No, I'm not mad.
But you know how things are right now.
It's not about us, Julio.
There are people expecting us tonight.
If we don't show up,
they don't get a meal.
Listen
You do your part, Tadeo,
and I'll do mine. Okay?
Get down.
[Roberta]
I've asked the judge to authorize visits.
We'll see what comes out of the
conversation between Vázquez and Cárdenas.
[Lamas] Too bad we can't listen in on it.
You know very well
that's not how I do things.
- It's just wishful thinking.
- Yeah. Keep your wishes to yourself.
After that meeting,
pieces are gonna start moving.
You'll have to be on your toes, got it?
- Yes, ma'am, I've got it.
- Right.
It's too bad.
Think of how much progress we'd make
if we were flies on the wall
during the conversation.
Days'
weeks' worth of progress even.
It really sucks we're not flies.
Is there some kind of legal way
we can be flies?
Don't worry.
It'll be fine.
[car engine starts]
[ominous music playing]
[woman and man speaking indistinctly]
CAACUPÉ SCHOOL
The helmet.
[Tadeo] How are you?
Do you like soccer?
- Yes.
- Yes?
Now, this is Facundo, Enzo.
You'll soon get to know each other.
Right, boys? This is Brian.
- He'll be staying with us for a few days.
- [all] Hi, Brian.
Okay.
Come, Tadeo.
What's up with you?
[ominous music continues]
[chattering]
- Thank you.
- This way.
- [beeps]
- You've got 15 minutes.
Did you get the message?
I think so.
So?
Is he safe?
You led him to safe ground?
I took another to safe ground.
He He told me the one in danger
was one of his friends.
I took him to Mass.
[exhales]
He's the one who's in danger.
He's the one the devil was looking at.
You've had the devil stare at you.
We never discussed this,
but I know you have.
This is worse, Tadeo.
Much worse.
- He's untouchable.
- Untouchable?
The devil wants him for himself.
You have to save him.
The priest's protection isn't enough.
If it's him, certainly not.
You gotta take him out for good.
You'll need papers and some of that.
Y Y Yes.
But how do I get it?
Peg Leg.
He got Panther out.
Yeah, I remember.
- I'm gonna need gravy.
- Yes.
Lots.
There's some.
Protected by Christ.
"Blessed are the poor."
Number 30.
Do you fish?
- Yes, I fish.
- At night.
When no one is around.
I'll try.
Once it's done,
I'll be at peace
and pay for what I've done.
God will take care of you.
I know He understands it all.
He'll care for you.
[knocking on door]
What's going on? I didn't get
a word of what you said to me.
He's the Godsend!
Do you know what that means?
- Who's the Godsend?
- The Fish!
What are you talking about?
The Fish is God's messenger, Julio.
The Fish?
You mean the kid from the projects?
Remigio, you better not have woken me up
at 3:00 in the morning for some bullshit.
He's in danger.
And he's chosen us to protect him, Julio.
- [Tadeo] It's about time.
- Came as quick as I could. What happened?
A policeman was hurt.
- While running away
- We didn't hurt anyone.
N No. It wasn't them.
There was a confusion, and a policeman
was hurt during the incident.
[boy 1] There was no confusion.
A pig shot another pig.
That's why they ran us off.
Okay. So who did that to you?
Nobody. I fell down the stairs
while I was running away.
[Tadeo] A cop went looking for a kid.
They went in the house,
they ransacked the place
and found nothing, so they went after him.
They wanted the Head.
He wouldn't steal for them
and stood them up.
We went to hide out in subway tunnels.
The Fish is the Godsend, Julio.
You. Tell him about the miracle.
It was total darkness.
All of a sudden,
the lights started going on and off.
- Working for us.
- [boy 1] Jonathan had turned them on.
But before the police left,
The Fish turned the lights off again.
- That was right after the gunshot.
- Gunshot? What gunshot?
[boy 1] A pig grabbed me
and wanted to take me away.
I resisted, but he kept at it.
Then The Fish showed up
and told him to let me go.
Yeah, he told him to come clean.
We knew that pig from the projects.
He used to play with us.
Then The Fish asked him,
"Which side are you on?"
And the guy understood what he said.
[Remigio] How could he not?
He could've ended up as one of them.
[boy 1] And the guy who grabbed me
lets me go.
Then The Fish, he tells me to run away.
[boy 2] Other cop shows up, points his
gun at The Fish, meaning to kill him.
And the guy who grabbed me steps
between them so he wouldn't get shot.
- But he did.
- The cop did.
[Tadeo] The cops will come.
We cannot surrender the kids.
Let's hope the policeman is not dead.
If he's dead and you don't collaborate,
the foundation is in jeopardy.
He's not dead. He'll be fine.
- All right.
- He took out the bullet, healed the wound.
I hope he's okay.
But I find this story
doesn't make much sense.
If I talk to the police,
I can't talk about miracles,
lights turning on and off,
a healing wound. It won't do.
What? What does it matter
if it was a miracle?
That's how the kids saw it,
and that's how it is.
That's what happened.
[Julio sighs]
[dramatic music playing]
[sirens wailing]
They're here.
They can't come in
without a search warrant.
With or without one, they'll never
let the kids off the hook. I'll go.
All right, but I do the talking.
[sirens continue wailing]
[Tadeo] Sit over there and be quiet.
D D Don't move, all right? I'll be back.
[sirens continue wailing]
[dramatic music playing]
[sirens stop]
[Remigio] You can't come in.
[cop 1] I need you to step aside.
We gotta get into that building.
[Julio] Who's the officer in charge?
[cop 1] Sir, stand back, please.
[cop 2] You're gonna have to
get out of my way. We came for the kids.
[Remigio] No, no, you're not coming in.
- [cop 1] I need you to step aside.
- [Remigio] Stay away.
[cop 2] Hey, watch it.
He's not gonna tell you again.
All right. We're leaving.
LET US LIFT UP OUR HEARTS
WITH OUR HANDS TO GOD IN HEAVEN
BLESSED ARE THE POOR
[Lamas] I still don't get the devil thing.
Those guys are all nutjobs.
They clearly need someone
out of the country.
- And they need help from Peg Leg?
- Looks like it.
- I don't get the thing about the gravy.
- What's gravy?
Gravy is green stuff, money.
To get someone out of the country,
you need fake documents.
- To obtain these, you need gravy.
- Okay, I get it.
I don't understand
where he sent him to get it.
"Blessed are the poor."
"Blessed are the poor."
There's the money.
[Lamas] The temple is a bank.
I got a tip from an informant.
Very reliable.
We know exactly where.
And with your boy here,
we found it online.
The walls are full of money.
They must be hollow.
[Lamas] Dirty money, for sure.
- Laundered through different routes.
- Hmm.
To understand a crime, the money trail
is always a good thing to follow.
- We should file for a search warrant.
- Yes.
Yeah, but that's insufficient evidence.
We need a better reason.
I don't think the judge
is gonna rule on a simple tip.
I can get you another informant too
if you want.
Fake informants?
Ma'am, who do you take me for?
I'll give it a try.
I'll file for the search warrant.
You better work your ass off
on those documents.
The petition must be flawless.
- Yes. Got it.
- Got it? Very well. Now get to work.
BLESSED ARE THE POOR
FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!
[dramatic music playing]
[clanging]
[footsteps approaching]
[door creaking]
[indistinct chatter]
[screw clangs]
[door closes]
[knocks on door]
Excuse me.
- You have a minute?
- I was gonna take a shower.
- I really need you to help me.
- You know my terms.
Julio, there are people who won't eat
if we d don't show up.
Then you go.
I know you're mad at me.
There a a are many things
I can't tell you. You're right, it's true.
But you need to trust me.
In that message, Remigio was asking me
to take care of someone.
And the only way for me to do that
is to take him far away from here.
But while I'm gone,
I need you to take care of three things.
Someone I support financially,
the children's home,
and the people
who are expecting us tonight.
No, I can't go today. I already told you.
[sighs]
They followed me all the way here.
- Who did?
- I I have no idea.
For a few days,
a car has been following me.
Hide me in your car and get me out.
Come with me,
and I'll tell you everything I know.
I really need you today.
[beeping]
[ominous music playing]
No one tailing us.
[cell phone buzzing]
Yes, read it.
We always knew he was a difficult kid.
And with regard
to the total control of Emilio,
he's the last real hurdle left right now.
Mm-hm.
Yes.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Let's move forward.
Uh, it's the next left.
Where are we going?
First, we drop off some money.
It's where you'll have to drop off
what I send every month
until I I'm back.
Thank you.
Who lives there?
My mother.
I thought your mother was dead.
That's what Emilio said.
But I found out later she's not.
This lady was spying on me
every day after school.
I followed her one day.
I saw her going into that house,
and I found out.
You never said anything.
N N No.
I realized they did
what they thought was best for me.
There was a reason, uh
she couldn't raise me.
For some reason, Emilio thought it would
be best for me to believe she was dead.
They must have wanted
to spare me some pain.
I care for her from a distance.
It makes me feel better
knowing she's okay.
You think you'll ever speak
to your father again?
I saw him a few days ago.
Shouldn't have.
He
He's the father of the guy I used to be.
I don't wanna be that guy anymore.
D Do you realize
that we're both bastards?
[both chuckle]
It's s probably why
we've been getting along since we met.
- Do we get along?
- Whether you like it or not.
[both laugh]
- Julio. How you doing? Good?
- Hey. How are things? Good.
Come on, come on in.
These go on the top shelf.
[sighs]
[pensive music playing]
I'll be right back.
- Yes?
- You did validate the informant, right?
- [phone rings]
- That way we can
- D.A. Candia.
- [man] Candia, how are you?
Mr. Attorney General. How are you doing?
Did you apply for a search warrant
for the temple on San Juan Street?
Uh, yes, sir.
Yes, I did so a few hours ago.
We were just about to
Drop everything you're doing
and come here now.
This is getting ridiculous.
- I want you in my office in ten minutes.
- Yes, sir.
On my way.
[sighs]
It looks like this warrant
is gonna cost me my job.
What is it?
[whispers] I lied.
About what?
The commissioner and I lied to you.
There's no informant.
What do you mean, no informant?
But for sure there are grounds
for a search warrant.
The temple is full of money.
And how do you know that
if there's no informant?
No.
- Yes, we both listened in on the meeting.
- Ugh!
Why would you do that?
It's such stupid bullshit.
I know, I'm sorry. It's done.
- [groans]
- But on the other hand,
now we know exactly where the gravy is.
The what?
The money.
Finding the money
will definitely raise many more questions.
If you go ahead with the raid,
instead of losing your job, you get kudos.
Good morning, how are you? Good morning.
Come down with me.
I wanna know everything.
They told me last night.
It will air Sunday
during the prime time news program.
We have three days.
What are they gonna say?
Everything. Your whole life and more.
The girlfriend of the boy you killed
will be in the studio,
and they will introduce her.
The Russian roulette story.
Some old friend of yours
who doesn't like you anymore.
A prison guard.
In other words,
nothing that would make you look good.
And to top it all
They'll say you only made it
this far in the party
because you're involved
with the pastor's daughter.
Ana is also part of the report.
[ominous music playing]
The sons of bitches.
Don't take it personally, uh
It's not against you.
They wanna bring Emilio down.
Obviously, you and Ana
are the weakest link.
I don't know how I could have missed it.
The only thing I care about is Ana.
Oh, well
It's like you have the worst karma.
You had all the makings
of a successful lawyer
and you fuck it all up.
You pull yourself together,
you become the key figure
of a presidential candidate
and screw that up too.
It seems like everything you touch
Never mind.
Is your passport up to date?
We'll take care of Emilio,
and once the storm is over, you come back.
You don't have a single piece of evidence
to make a search
and a ton to close the case.
And you choose the worst option.
Plus, you have a killer who is insane.
You need a psychiatric report.
Get one already.
Present the case to a judge for a trial.
We have absolutely no right to dump
this whole mess on our democracy.
Yes, yes, sir, you're right.
You're right.
I'll send the case to trial
as soon as possible.
But first, there's something
I need to take care of.
You see, the press is demanding facts.
They're watching our every move, hm?
A psychiatric assessment is fine,
but is not newsworthy.
But a raid is. That's newsworthy.
Let me order that search, okay?
Let's show the press
that we're doing our job.
That we're exploring all avenues
in order to uncover more evidence.
Then I'll close. Hm?
You see, I really don't think
it would be good for us
to have the press accuse us
of not being methodical.
You're right about that.
- You have to give the media something.
- Sure.
After that, if he wants to,
the judge can close.
Mmm. Yes, he'll want to.
Get me Judge Larraín, please.
Always a good idea
to throw a bone to the media.
Oh, yeah. Hm.
[reporters clamoring]
I don't care what's written in this paper.
This is the house of God.
[Elena] Look what I found.
- Someone ratted on us.
- Where was it?
On the floor, nearby.
I don't like this at all.
Now go and check
that everything's in order.
No, everything is in order.
No, Dad, there's nothing we can do.
Right.
Ramiro. Let's proceed. Let's go.
All right, let's move.
[reporter] Pastor Emilio. A comment?
Good evening.
You need to get the camera.
We need pictures. Hm?
Go and see what they're doing.
[indistinct chatter]
[woman]
Yes. They don't have anything to say.
No comment.
[reporter 1] What happened? What happened?
Sir, what's going on?
[reporter 2] Over here. Quick question.
- [reporter 3] Who's that?
- [reporter 4] Judge Larraín.
[reporter 3] Oh, can someone
tell us what's happening?
[reporter 4] What's going on?
CHURCH OF THE KINGDOM OF LIGH
- [officer] Let's go.
- [Roberta] Over there.
Stop right there.
This search is suspended.
- [officer] What?
- Your reason for suspension?
Lack of evidence.
What do you mean? The attorney general
The attorney general is the
attorney general, but I'm the judge, see?
Here's my handwritten
stay of search warrant,
which puts an end to all of this nonsense.
[tense music playing]
Get out of here!
I want each and every one of you
out of the Church of Christ!
[reporter 1] What do you
think they're looking for?
[reporters clamoring]
[reporter 2] Excuse me.
[speaking indistinctly]
Sorry, no comment at this time. Sorry.
No. Please, let me through.
What are you doing here?
Are you hiding?
The judge arrived
just in time to stop them.
I just can't wait
to be far away from here.
Sweetie.
Don't stay down there like that.
Don't worry, they're gone now.
I don't want to hurt you, my love.
I swear to God.
Why are you saying that?
You're not hurting me.
I have no right to drag you into this.
[sniffles]
Drag me into what? What happened?
I killed that boy.
You didn't kill him.
It was an accident, Julio.
No. I killed him.
No.
And even if you did,
you've paid your dues.
You completed your sentence.
You did the time.
It's a thing of the past.
On Sunday, there will be
a news report on TV about me.
About my past.
Any idea who's behind this?
An insider.
Maybe Osorio himself.
He wants me out of the picture,
unrestricted access to your father.
He suggested I leave the country.
Maybe it's for the best. Who knows.
I swear to you,
I don't care what they say about me,
but you? No.
What about me?
They'll talk about you too.
So what? Let them talk.
Can't you see
everything I'm involved in I screw up?
I'm cursed.
Cursed?
My family is getting to you.
You keep talking like that,
and you'll end up saying the devil
The The devil
This might sound crazy, but what if
you were to double down on them?
Play their game, but take it further.
Steal the show.
Come clean. Beat them to it.
By the time it airs on Sunday,
it will be old news and nobody will care.
Since when does the truth matter?
All they care about is the show, right?
Well, set up your own show. Redemption.
[pensive music playing]
Let's do it.
But it needs to come from the heart.
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me. Who called you?
No one. But there's a rumor that
the candidate is going to do something.
Welcome. Photos and recordings
are allowed, but no flash, please.
Thank you very much.
[sanctus bells jingling in rhythm]
[jingling stops]
Today,
by the will of Christ, our Lord,
we are going to expel
the demon from the body
of our most beloved Julio Clamens.
[grunting]
[woman] Here he comes.
[woman whispering indistinctly]
- [man] What is he gonna do next?
- [woman] He doesn't look well.
Hm.
Julio.
[Julio grunts]
Release him.
Let him go. It's okay.
[Julio breathing heavily]
Calm down.
I'm going to invoke Jesus Christ
to expel the demon
that's taken ahold of your body.
And our brothers are going to help us.
[Julio grunts]
[jingling resumes]
[chanting] Get out, demon, get out, demon
Get out, demon.
Get out, demon.
Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- Angel of the shadows
- Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- prince of darkness
- Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- leave the body of Julio.
- Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- Now, go. It's showtime. You can do it.
- Get out, demon, get out, demon
- No!
- [Emilio] Christ, please expel the demon
from the body
of our beloved Julio Clamens.
[Julio yells]
Get out, demon.
- Out, you evil spirit!
- [grunting]
Out, you evil spirit!
- Now!
- [groans]
[Emilio] Jesus Christ, our Lord,
I call on you to help me expel
for once and forever,
my Lord, the demon
from the body of Julio Clamens.
[Julio screams]
Get out, demon, get out, demon
[Emilio] On the count of three,
we will drive out Lucifer from his body.
Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- [Julio] No!
- Get out, demon, get out, demon.
One. Leave him on my order!
- Away, you.
- [Julio yells]
Get out, demon
Two! By the power of Jesus of Nazareth,
I command you!
- Get out, demon!
- Get out!
Get out, demon, get out, demon.
Get out, demon, get out, demon.
- You are defeated!
- [screams]
- Get out, demon
- Get out, demon
Get out, demon
Out, demon! Three!
- [screams]
- [chanting and jangling stop]
[groans]
[panting]
[gasping]
- [Julio breathes heavily]
- [Emilio] Get up.
You are clean, my son.
Your heart
is clean.
Do you feel better?
The devil has abandoned your body.
All that's left for you to do
is to speak truthfully.
[groaning]
The devil took my life to the limit.
I don't know
what I was looking for in alcohol.
And in drugs.
But I didn't find it.
I put my friends in danger.
One of them died because of me.
You've hurt a lot of people.
- [Julio sobs]
- Did a lot of harm.
All of them.
I hurt everyone I ever cared about.
What about Ana? You intend to hurt her?
No.
Ana? Never.
How would you describe
what you feel for her?
Do you love her?
I love Ana like I've never loved before.
I never thought possible a love so deep.
