[water dripping]
Remove justice, and what are kingdoms
but gangs of criminals on a large scale?
What are criminal gangs
but petty kingdoms?
Saint Augustine
[breathing heavily]
[metallic clang]

Pick it up, man. Come on.

Come on, guys. Move it.

You guys go ahead.
I'll hide somewhere. Just go!
[panting]
[tense music continues]
[grunts]

[grunts]
Motherfuckers!
You sons of bitches!

It's Thiago. He's been hurt.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

- [boy 1] I got him!
- We gotta take him to the hospital.
- Hurry up.
Come on, come on!
Pedro Antúnez.
I'm the teacher around here.
Tadeo Vázquez. Thank you.
I'll drive you to the clinic.
I've known these kids forever.
What happened?
They knocked on our door, all freaked out.
- They blew up the dam, I think.
- Really?
I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.
[Pedro] Don't go anywhere.
Stay in the truck.
[doctor panting] Thiago, can you hear me?
[doctor panting]
[doctor exhales, sniffles]
[melancholy music playing]
[tires squeal]
[tense music playing]
[dog barking in distance]
[dog barking]
Even if you cover him with dust and dirt,
you will never be able to hide the fact
that you beat a 13-year-old kid to death
as if his life was worth nothing!
All of us know what happened out there.
Even those who,
out of fear, shut us out today.
Who owns the water out here, huh?
The same person who thinks
they own Thiago's life.
And the lives of all the people
of this town who die
because they stole the water.
- Oh my God.
- Goddamn sons of bitches.
[Tadeo] Will none of you protect them?
All of you work for the people in power?
CHURCH OF THE KINGDOM OF LIGH
I once believed in this Church.
And now they've shut us out.
I once had respect for this Church
because it is the Church
for many in this town.
And again today, they're shutting us out.
But we're going to resist
with all our strength!
What are you gonna do, huh?
You're gonna kill us all?
Will you beat some to death
and kill the others by stealing
what they need to live?
[breathing heavily]
I can guarantee you
that, even without weapons,
we are much stronger than you'll ever be.
[crying] Thiago!
[melancholy music playing]
[woman 1] Sweet Jesus! Poor thing!
[Thiago's mom crying] Thiago!
[sobbing] No!
My son!
[sobbing] No!
[Tadeo sobbing]
[all crying]
[Julio] They're prisoners,
shackled so as
to restrict their movements.
That is not a temporary prison.
They were born into it.
They know nothing else.
The shadows projected on the wall
are the only reality those prisoners know.
The chains also prevent them
from turning around
and discovering
the origin of those silhouettes.
They are prisoners of the chains.
But even more so of the distorted reality
that their keepers have decided
to show them as the absolute truth.
All of you, as future lawyers,
cannot be like the prisoners
in Plato's cave.
You must always be suspicious
of what you think you see
in the rules, in the codes,
and what your professors say.
Does that include you?
- [Julio] Yes. Yes, it does.
- [students laugh]
After having seen everything
we have projected on that wall,
it's up to you to shed your shackles.
Go out there
and see the world for yourselves
Excuse me, Professor. Sorry to interrupt.
We're from the student center.
We'd like to make an announcement.
- Uh, class ends in 15 minutes.
- [girl] Won't take long. Promise.
All right.
Hi, everyone. There are protests
on the streets today.
Vázquez-Pena's corrupt
and repressive government
wants to shut down all the universities
on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
That's why we have decided
to hold a sit-in to resist the closure.
We're gathering in the auditorium
to devise a plan of action.
Yes. We seize the premises
and set out to occupy.
Classes are suspended till further notice.
Thank you, Professor.
- Welcome.
- Thanks.
[indistinct chattering]
Sorry, sir. Class was interesting, but
Don't worry about it. There's the reality.
[student] I don't know, man. This is sus.
[rhythmic percussion music playing]
You're not planning
on attending the assembly, are you?
Well, it's not just for students.
I've seen professors go in.
[girl] Don't take me for an idiot.
It might've been a while ago,
but some of us haven't forgotten,
Julio Clamens.
If this sit-in is happening today,
it's because of the shitty policies
of this theocratic government
that oppresses and persecutes people
and that you helped get elected.
So don't make me declare you
persona non grata on stage
in front of everyone.
[rhythmic percussion music continues]
[Tadeo on video]
Will none of you protect them?
All of you work for the people in power.
I once had respect for this Church
because it is the Church
for many in this town.
But we're going to resist
with all our strength!
- What is that?
- It's the boy murdered 'cause of the dam.
- You heard of it?
- Tadeo is his name.
- [Tadeo] Will you beat some to death
- [girl 2] He exposes it all.
and kill the others
by stealing what they need to live?
[girl 2] He's a badass!
Yeah, he sure is.
Can you please send it to my phone?
I'm in the group chat.
Yeah, sure. I'll send it to you.
Only that one, or all of them?
- There's more?
- [boy] A lot more.
- Send them all.
- [boy] All right.
[phone chimes]
[phone chimes]
[indistinct chattering]
[reporter] Today, throughout the country,
a wave of anger and indignation
is hitting all major urban centers.
Violent demonstrations broke out,
led by well-known gangs,
which resulted in looting,
burned vehicles, and smashed windows.
All of it an expression
of the frustration felt
by people of all stripes.
We're waiting for you, Emilio.
The meeting was supposed to start
15 minutes ago.
Start without me.
Frankly, I'm not in the mood.
Well, no one's in the mood.
This is important.
Don't you think I know that?
[reporter] In Buenos Aires, violence
You have to be at the meeting.
The ministers are awaiting instructions.
You talk to them.
You know better than anyone
what instructions to issue.
as a result of an isolated incident
that occurred in a remote village
and which has galvanized the community
I'm coming.
[footsteps retreating]
[reporter] At this hour,
serious incidents have been reported
[door closes]
in Rosario, Mendoza,
Neuquén, La Plata, Bahía
[pensive music playing]
[indistinct chattering]
Please be seated.
Let us thank our gracious Lord
for allowing us
to command wisely and firmly
the destiny of our great nation.
Let us pray that he may enlighten
our minds and those of our flock.
- God bless you.
- [all] God bless you.
Good afternoon, everyone.
We are assembled here
with the government ministers,
under the direction of our president,
to outline, coordinate, and implement
measures that must urgently
be put into action
in light of the recent events
that have unfolded.
[voice echoing]
In order to accomplish this task,
we need a team
that has clear objectives to fulfill.
We must not be deterred
by the actions of a few.
We must remain focused
on our greater goals.
[pensive music playing]
Mr. President.
I was just leaving.
I was told you were leaving by helicopter
for security reasons.
Yes, I was told the same thing, but no.
- Get in. I'll explain later.
- Um, let me notify security.
No. No security.
No security!
[pensive music playing]
[driver] To the Olivos residence?
Later. First, I wanna see
what's happening.
The real truth. Not what I'm being told.
[shouting indistinctly]
[shouting indistinctly]
[reverential music playing]
LIAR PRESIDEN
It's about me.
EMILIO = STARVATION
It's about me.
[reverential music continues]
You remember how it used to be?
Whenever I'd go out,
it would be totally insane
because people wanted to hold me
They wanted to touch me, kiss me.
And now I get a Nazi mustache.
[driver] Power is a wearing force.
[Emilio] But I'm much more
than just a president.
I'm a pastor.
I am love.
Jesus lives in me.
And if those who claim to work for me
make me sign laws
that cause me to lose that love
then we're doing something wrong.
You know, Daniel?
I felt very much alone.
But God was there by my side.
He had sent someone
to show me the way and guide me.
I was led into politics.
I was burdened with this responsibility.
It was love.
[wistful music playing]
It was all love.
But they took him away
because they thought I could hurt him.
[voice breaks] How could I?
He was sent by God.
[sniffles]
He was my compass.
Without him, I am lost.
I was left alone.
All alone.
[soft beeping]
[door opens]
What do you think?
Well, it's bad.
- [Lautaro sighs]
- Worse than bad.
- Did you send the musicians?
- Yes. That's all good.
I don't think it'll be enough though.
People have gone crazy.
They didn't like the new measures.
Hmm.
[Rubén] If they believed their savior
was guiding them, they'd accept anything.
Emilio didn't turn out
to be the leader we expected.
Those who are running this country
are beginning to think it makes no sense
to support this government,
and they want out.
And you know what that means.
[tongue clicks]
They think it's easy
to come up with another Emilio?
[Rubén] That's the problem
with this country.
Those at the bottom don't think.
Neither do those at the top.
We are the only ones
who can actually find the way.
One thing's for sure.
Getting Congress to pass a law
is not easy.
- How much does a vote cost now?
- You're thinking like them, Lautaro.
- The answer's not there.
- Increased repression?
You're still thinking like them.
[inhales] No. We increase repression,
they'll set the government house on fire.
Let's not wind them up.
Not a solution.
[scoffs]
What do you have in mind, Rubén?
Why are people protesting?
- They're afraid of becoming poorer.
- [Rubén] Exactly.
That is their greatest fear.
And how do you combat that fear?
[pensive music playing]
Dunno.
With real fear.
Something even more dreadful to them.
Something so terrifying, people will think
whatever they were afraid of initially
was trivial.
Okay, but what could be scarier
than having nothing to eat?
A monster.
A monster
can be more frightening
than starving to death.
What, Godzilla?
Yeah, sort of.
Yes.
A Godzilla.
CHURCH OF HUNGER
PRESIDENT, YOU DON'T REPRESENT US
GET OUT!!
GET OUT, PRESIDEN
[clattering]
- [metal clanking]
- [alarm blaring]
GET OUT, PRESIDEN
VÁZQUEZ PENA'S A MURDERER!
CHURCH OF THE KINGDOM OF LIGH
GET OUT!
IT'S THE PASTOR'S FAULT!
JESUS DOESN'T STARVE PEOPLE
PASTOR = STARVATION

[phone ringing]
INCOMING CALL
PABLO
Hello, Pablo. Darling, what's going on?
[Celeste] Hi, Elena?
Celeste? Is something wrong?
A bomb exploded in the church.
What?
The church was bombed? What do you mean?
Is Pablo okay?
The cross fell on him. He hurt his head.
We're at the clinic now.
They're about to see us.
- No need to worry.
- [Elena] Yes, well, I do worry.
Is he okay?
[Celeste] Yes, yes.
The doctor is coming. Don't worry.
[sighs]
[phone beeps]
[door closes]
[birds chirping]
Botardi! Emilio?
[Daniel] He asked me to leave him
in the prayer room.
Don't go anywhere.
I need you to take me to the church.
Emilio.
Emilio!
[moans] Elena, what are you doing?
Did you watch the news?
It was a horrible day.
[Elena] Of course I watched the news.
You know I did because everything
that happens to your government
happens to our Church.
The good and the bad.
And the bad just happened.
A bomb just exploded in the church.
How could that be? Nobody told me.
- Was it serious?
- A bomb exploded!
I'm on my way there to see how bad it was.
[sighs]
They've slipped a dead weight
around your neck.
Next, they'll throw you into the river,
and they'll all watch you sink
to the bottom.
And all because you listen to them
more than you listen to me.
And what's worse, you listen to them
more than you listen to Jesus.
And Jesus is the one who's telling you
that your government
should be his government.
And when you do down,
I won't let you drag me along.
The bomb wasn't for me.
It was for you.
- [Emilio] I'm coming with you.
- No, you are not!
Nobody needs to know that a bomb exploded.
Ask your people to make up a story.
If word ever gets out about what happened,
it will spell the end for our Church.

#NOTMYPRESIDEN
[clattering]
[gasps]
[Elena] Luis, come here.
Leave that in here and go outside.
Clean everything up.
There's paint in the warehouse.
Cover the graffiti.
Don't let anyone know
a bomb exploded in here.
Come on. Hurry up.
[Luis] Flaco, come on. Let's go.
And social media? People angry?
Let's offset that by victimizing Emilio
in the church attack.
The government wants us
to keep quiet about the incident.
- Don't listen to them. Spread the word.
- Critics on social media weren't so bad.
At first, yes, but then something else
caught their attention. Look.
Who owns the water here, huh?
Who?
Another hippie diatribe
from Tadeo Vázquez.
[Lautaro] But look.
He keeps getting views.
It went viral hours ago.
It's shared mostly among the youth.
Edit it. You know, cut, paste.
I'm sure you know what to do.
When he says "without weapons,"
make him say "with weapons."
I don't know. Make him look violent.
He needs to look really scary.
Are you trying to say he's our Godzilla?
Maybe not right now, but eventually.
It's not fair what happened.
It isn't.
You sure there's nothing we can do?
Why are you asking me?
Ask yourself what you can do.
Me?
What could I possibly do?
[nurse] It's been crazy in here today.
- [Pablo] I can imagine.
- [Celeste] Mm.
- You're all good. You can leave now.
- Thanks, you're very kind.
- God bless you.
- [nurse] God bless you.
God bless you.
Sit down.
- No, I'm good. I can walk.
- Baby, sit down. I have an idea.
We must capitalize
on what happened to you.
This is your chance.
You're the victim of an attack.
I'm fine. It's just a minor cut
on the head. It's nothing
It was an attack,
and you're not fine. Sit down.
Come on!
You'll be paralyzed for a while.
And in a few weeks, we'll have a ceremony,
and you'll perform a miracle on yourself,
and you will get up and walk.
- Just like Lazarus.
- No, no. I can't do that, no.
Pablo.
This is a God-given gift.
[sighs] No. No, no.
I I can't do this. No.
Not only are the subsidies that have long
been promised to us not forthcoming,
but now, in addition,
we have to dodge the bombs aimed at him.
Uh, I'm sorry we're late
and sorry for the interruption.
- Oh, hi, sweetie.
- [Celeste] Yes. Please excuse us.
Elena. Mr. Nicolini. How are you?
[Nicolini] How are you?
But I I thought you said
you you were all right?
Yes, so did I.
- [Pablo] Hi, Mom.
- Hello, dear.
[gasps] What happened?
Well, the truth is when the cross fell,
and everything was shaking,
I slipped and felt a bit of a twist
in my lower back.
But at that moment,
I really didn't think much of it.
I think that Jesus was holding me
until I could make sure
Pablo was all right and well cared for.
And it's only then that I collapsed.
But I have faith,
and I believe that, with God's help,
I'll be able to walk again very soon.
- [Nicolini] I hope you'll walk again soon.
- Yes.
Well, I don't know.
Do you do you want to go over this?
Wouldn't you prefer to rest?
[Celeste] No, no. Let's do this, please.
[Nicolini] Well, I'm not gonna lie to you.
The numbers don't add up.
The situation is worrisome.
How worrisome is it?
[Nicolini] If we combine bank holdings
and cash balances,
in three months, we are out of funds.
Unbelievable.
- Still, though, we have the, uh
- [Elena] No, sweetie. No.
The accountant is referring
to our money, not God's money.
Ah!
Ah.
- [Elena] Go on, please.
- [Nicolini] Right.
In this graphic, you can see
that not only the number of faithful
that come to this church has decreased,
but the situation is the same
in all the Churches of the Light
throughout the country.
There are a few exceptions though.
Some churches are doing quite well,
like the church on San Juan Street,
for example.
Uh, that's the church of Palermo.
It's Magdalena's and Oscar's.
[chuckles] That church is worth peanuts.
[Nicolini] They managed to get
people's attention somehow.
I look at the numbers. That's all.
And I see they're steadily growing.
- [car horns honking]
- [man] Hey, old man!
[old man] What do you want?
What do you want? What are you doing here?
- [car horn honking]
- Go away!
What, what, what?
- [car horn honking]
- Goddammit! Leave me alone.
[officer] Come with me, sir.
- What are you doing?
- Sir, come with me.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Sir, come with me.
Leave me be. I'm fine. I'm fine. Go away!
- Are you feeling okay?
- Yes, I'm I'm perfectly fine.
Please, I'm fine.
Leave me alone. I'm fine. I'm fine!
How's your day going, Daniel?
Did you sleep well?
[Daniel] Yes, Mr. President.
Thank you. I'm doing well.
- What about you? Better than yesterday?
- Much better.
I'm ready to do battle
and put the country back on track.
- Sorry I kept you up last night.
- No, please, Mr. President.
It's always a pleasure
to spend time with you.
You see? You are your own man.
That's what I need, you know?
I've always been surrounded
by people like you.
But lately, I've been distracted.
I trusted the wrong people.
But I'm gonna fix this, you hear?
The thing about politics,
it's like a game of chess.
To stay in the game,
the pawns need to protect you.
They have to surround you.
They have to be willing
to sacrifice their lives for the king.
Wow! The president himself.
You should've summoned me.
[Emilio] I wanted to come myself
to tell you it's over.
I will not be held responsible
for the failures of others.
The others?
When drastic measures are implemented,
like the ones we're enforcing
to advance this country,
it's essential
to have the support of people.
Many people.
On this team, that's the role you play.
It's your responsibility.
If people don't support us,
then you're the one who failed.
How do you expect them to support me
if the only thing I can offer them
is poverty?
Bring up Christ. I don't know.
I mean, that's your thing.
Do you want me
to tell my people the truth?
Starting tomorrow,
I want a new cabinet and a new plan.
[Rubén laughs]
You're so naive.
Do you really think that votes
grant you more power than, say,
your security, your big office,
a private helicopter,
your house in Olivos?
No.
Do you wanna find out how naive I am?
Do you want me to denounce publicly
what you're all up to?
Tell the whole country?
Start disclosing names,
starting with your own?
And what would you do afterwards?
Would you jail everyone
who questions your authority?
Do you have soldiers
and police officers ready to lock us up
once you give them the order?
And the judges who have to sentence us?
You'll have to find legal justification
to do so.
You're not really thinking this through.
We lost the trust of those
who call the shots in this country.
They are the ones we made a commitment to.
If we don't honor it
it will be hell on earth.
We need to make them trust us again
like they used to.
Then the situation will run its course.
And you need to become
the man the people voted for.
Let me share with you an idea.
Imagine tomorrow
there's an invasion of killer demons
who destroy everything in their wake.
Who will the people look up to
for their salvation?
That's a metaphor, Rubén.
What? Are you losing your faith?
It's not a metaphor.
It is reality.
Our enemies are those demons.
And what we need to do
is have people see it that way.
That's what you do
better than anyone.
Who cares about the price of bread
when your house is being bombed?
In times of war,
the only person people will trust
is the person leading the country's army.
And who better to lead this war
than you, Emilio?
A battle between evil
and you.
Are you ready for the fight?
Do we have an enemy who's that great?
We have a lot of enemies.
Enemies of all kinds.
But none that are epic.
What we need is a synthesis.
Someone who can reach the people easily.
Someone the media
can communicate with directly.
even those who,
out of fear, shut us out today.
Tadeo.
He turned against you,
and he has thousands of followers.
He was in Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador.
Three months ago,
he returned to Argentina.
There's a group of kids
that follows him everywhere.
Wherever they go, they raise a ruckus.
They stir people up by telling them
that you are the source of their problems.
They upload the videos
and make them go viral on social media.
[Tadeo on video]
Will none of you protect them?
Your adoptive son knows a lot about you
that he hasn't revealed yet.
Who knows when he'll start to.
I once believed in this Church.
Let me ask you again, Emilio.
[Tadeo] Now they've shut us out.
Are you willing to put up a fight?
[Tadeo] I once had respect
for this Church.
Do whatever you have to do.
- [Tadeo] Church for many in this town.
- But don't hurt him.
[Tadeo] But we're going to resist
with all our strength.
Hey, look. We have visitors.
[Pedro] Hey!
- [doctor] Hi!
- [Tadeo] Hi.
It's a surprise, I know,
but we brought some food.
- [Tadeo] Thank you.
- Hope we're not intruding?
On the contrary. Maybe you can
cheer him up. He's grumpy today.
Don't listen to him.
Come sit down, please.
We just lit the fire.
You realize the importance
of what happened yesterday?
I couldn't prevent Thiago's death.
That's what happened yesterday.
You couldn't have prevented his death.
No one could.
You did everything you could and more.
Without you, no one would know
why he died, what he fought for,
the importance of his struggle.
Yesterday, you saved
the lives of many Thiagos.
I wish I could believe that.
[boy] Why on earth
are you putting up a ladder there?
It might be useful.
You never know.
[Ana] To that total,
you have to add the advances.
No, the previous fiscal year.
[food frying]
How much?
- Hang on. Let me see.
- [girl] I'm bored.
- [softly] Give me a second, honey. Okay?
- Okay.
Mm, no. You have to include
the gross income. You're leaving it out.
[girl] One, two
[Ana] Yes, that's why.
All right.
It's the fifth column from the left.
Yes, that one.
Which one?
- [computer chimes]
- [girl] One
- Let me see.
- [girl]four, five, six
Carola! Can I call you back
in five minutes?
- [computer chimes]
- No, baby!
You can't touch this, sweetie. Please!
- This is mommy's work. Do you understand?
- Hello!
[Carola crying]
[Julio] Uh, what's wrong?
- [Ana sighs]
- Is she being difficult?
- Yes. Oh, she's getting heavy.
- Come here, you. Come here.
- Let's go play with Mr. Bear.
- [Carola crying]
[Julio] Let's go see your friend,
Mr. Bear, okay?
- Was she being difficult?
- [Ana] She was being impossible.
But you know what? It's not her fault.
I can't be paying attention to her
all day long and, at the same time,
work on a balance sheet.
Julio, did we agree that you'd
come home early and cover for me or not?
Yes. The university is still occupied.
We couldn't hold our classes.
It's total mayhem.
I'm sorry. I mean it. I am sorry.
[sighs]
[Ana] Look, I've got absolutely
no help here.
You're away at work all day.
You get to have your time,
your space, and that's well and good.
But if we don't share our responsibilities
towards Caro,
I won't be able to make it, okay?
- You're right. You're absolutely right.
- I just won't be able to.
- [Julio kisses] I'm sorry.
- [Ana sighs]
I've got Caro's present.
When do we give it to her?
When we blow out the candles, I suppose.
Oh, the candles.
I knew I was forgetting something.
[sighs] Okay, don't worry.
I'll go buy them with her.
Then I'll take her to the park. That way,
you'll have some time to yourself.
Okay?
Yeah.
Good.
Hey, wanna come with me?
Come on. We'll do something fun.
[door opens]
Let's go.
[door lock clicks]
[indistinct chattering]
[officer] He's been asking for you
all afternoon, and now
[Rubén] Make sure
there's no record of this.
[officer] Yes, sir.
Papa.
Papa.
Let's go.
Oh, sweetie. Angel.
Oh, sweetie.
I'm scared. I'm really scared.
Come on, Dad.
- Don't worry. I'm here now. Come on.
- I'm really scared, you know.
CITY POLICE
[indistinct chattering]
Thank God he's back with us again.
Thank God? No. Thank the police and me.
I don't have time to wait
for an explanation as to what happened.
This is shameful, with the fortune
I've spent over the years,
to let a lost old man
just walk away like that.
I just don't get it.
This is unacceptable.
Um, he's been quite agitated
these past few days,
and we wanted to ask you
a few questions, actually.
He doesn't seem agitated to me.
Come on, Dad.
[moans]
[groans]
- [nurse] This way, sir.
- We're here.
- Oh no. Not here. No, no, not here.
- Yes, you're home.
- Not here, son! No, no!
- Yes. Wait.
Could you help me out here, please?
Dad, please.
- He's in there waiting!
- There you are.
- Go on. Go on in.
- He's in there! He follows me.
I don't want to go! [groaning]
Help me. He's in my room. In the bath!
- I'll be back tomorrow to see him.
- Yes, sir.
- [grunts] He's just
- Come on.
He's just always there with that rope
around his neck.
And he wants to take it off, but he can't.
That long, long rope.
[moaning] It's a long rope!
[nurse] It's all right, sir.
There's nothing to worry about.
Come on. Come with us.
- [Carola] Watermelon.
- Yes, be careful with the little seeds.
- And?
- [video chat ringing]
- [Ana] I don't know. Still no signal.
- [video chat connects]
[Tadeo] Hello. What's the matter?
- Why am I being ignored? Where's my niece?
- Let's say hi.
Oh hey! Hey! There they are. Come on.
Caro, look! It's uncle Tadeo!
- Say hi!
- I see him!
- [Ana] Hello!
- Oh my! How pretty you are!
She definitely takes after you, Ana.
I can't wait to see you.
- All of you!
- When is that gonna happen?
[Tadeo] I don't know.
Sooner than later, I hope.
I thought you wanted nothing more
to do with us
since those videos of you
taking on the police have gone viral.
I never imagined
the news would spread like that.
Wanna go down?
Okay. [grunts]
My students at the university
are playing your videos nonstop
and saying Tadeo's a badass.
Hope it serves a purpose.
At least to bring about justice.
I'm still the person you know.
I don't really know who you are anymore,
but we love you, and we miss you, brother.
- I love you too.
- Hey there.
- Oh, hi.
- You have no idea what's happening.
There's people here to see you.
They say you speak for them,
and they they wanna see you.
Come on. Come on.
They brought food to share with everybody.
- You have to tell them something.
- But I don't know what to say.
[man] Thank you. Thank you so much.
It's so appreciated.
- [man 2] You have no idea.
- [man 3] Wow.
- Tadeo, thank you. Thank you so much.
- Thank you so much for coming here.
You're you're a godsend.
You're a hero.
- Thank you, Tadeo.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for what you've done.
- Thank you, Tadeo.
[woman] Thank you very much.
I brought you coffee and hot water.
- Thank you.
- [Tadeo] Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
- [woman 2] Thank you for everything.
[Tadeo] Thank you.
[Pedro] There's food down there.
Just take as much as you want.
[doctor] Hi.
Thank you.
[indistinct chattering]
[man 4] Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
[indistinct chattering]
- Thank you so much, Tadeo.
- [Tadeo] Thanks for coming.
Thanks, friend.
Thank you all for coming.
Thank you so much. Thank you for coming.
