Come on! Keep moving!

You, tell me where he is. Where is he?

Where the hell is the European?

Tell me!

Check back there! Get those people!

Tell me!

Move, dammit!

Come on!

Where is he?

- Where's the European? Tell me! - Check inside the house.

Burn it to the ground!

Come on!

Upstairs.

Thanks.

It's me.

Thank you, Julián.

Thank you.

WHITE ELEPHANT

This place is huge. How many people live here?

No one knows. There's no official count. It isn't even on the map.

We have a rough idea from the baptisms.

Between the kids, godparents, and relatives,

we're talking about 15,000 people.

But the entire slum is probably double that. Maybe 30,000.

- Thirty thousand? - Yeah. This was going to be a hospital.

Now it's home to 300 families. And us.

The original project dates back to 1937.

It was a socialist, Alfredo Palacios, who proposed it.

It was approved by the National Congress...

What happened?

Construction was suspended.

But then it was resumed

almost 20 years later, during the Perón regime.

But it came to a halt again after the coup in '55.

This was supposed to be the biggest hospital in Latin America.

I see.

It's now called the "White Elephant."

Good morning!

How are you? This is Father Nicolás.

- Hi there. - Morning, Father.

- Can I get you anything? Tea? - No. Thank you.

- I want to show you what we're working on. - Julián, over here.

- Just a second. - Sure.

- Yeah? - I'll be there in half an hour.

- What is it? - They need a hand in the kitchen.

Okay. Keep Nicolás company. I'll be right there.

- Okay. Grab some buckets. - All right. What's up?

- How's it going, Nicolás? I'm Lisandro. - Hi.

- Welcome. - Thanks.

- Should we head to the chapel? - Okay.

- Want some help? - Sure.

- Did you get some rest? - Yeah.

It's a real honor to have you here.

Julián told us all about your work in the Amazon.

Okay. Stop by later.

Hey, Luciana.

- Hi. - How's it going?

Good. You?

- This is Nicolás. - We've met. Feeling better?

- Yeah. - Really?

- The chapel's flooded. You coming? - Yeah. I'll be over later.

- Hello. - How's it going? Do you have your ID?

You should wear your collar so people know who you are.

A few weeks ago, one of our volunteers was held at gunpoint.

He was here to tutor the kids. People thought he was a cop.

No one's ever told me I look like a cop before.

- Morning. How are you? - Hi, Father.

- Hold this? - Sure.

Hi, guys.

- There's water everywhere. - I better see you at the baptism.

- We'll be there, Father. - It's next week.

- Thanks. - The whole place is flooded.

It'll take five days for this to dry.

- Roberto. - How's it going?

Hello.

- Irma, how are you doing? - Good.

- Be sure to bring your son to the baptism. - Okay.

- Have a good one. - Hello. Good morning.

Guys, take these flyers.

- Spread the word. It'll be next Thursday. - Thursday.

- Okay? Do me a favor. - Hi there.

Let's go.

Did water get in here?

It's so muddy. How's your leg?

- Better. - Glad to hear it. Watch your step.

- Hey, Julián. - Yeah?

- We have 16 on the list. - Really?

Plus seven kids with no IDs.

- Did you talk to Luciana? - Yeah. She's looking into it.

- Okay. - So, yeah.

- Good morning. - They'll be there, I guess.

We'll see. Just look at all this mud. Hi.

- Good morning, Father. - Morning.

That's a lot of water.

Let's see what we can do.

- Is this it? - Yeah.

This is our chapel.

- Hi. How's it going, Cruz? - Morning.

Nicolás, meet Cruz. Cruz, Nicolás.

- The foreign priest. - Yes.

- You're the talk of the town. - Father Nicolás.

Cruz helps us with the workshops and anything he can, really.

- Let's get the water out. - So the wood doesn't rot.

Okay. Let's get to it.

- It'd be a shame if it got wet. - Careful.

Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, "Peace I leave you."

"My peace I give you."

Look not on our sins but on the faith of your Church.

And graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will.

Who live and reign forever and ever.

Amen.

- The peace of the Lord be with you always. - And with your spirit.

Let us offer each other a sign of peace.

Peace be with you.

When I was a kid, whenever my dad would try to hit me,

I'd climb up onto the roof like a monkey. "Monito, get down here," he'd say.

And the nickname stuck. "Monito," little monkey.

I don't like it, though.

My name's Esteban.

It kind of pisses me off.

Now everyone here in the hood calls me Monito.

But I like living here anyway.

What do you mean, you like it? You're only here 'cause you're a junkie.

What's your problem? I'm just being real with you.

Listen up. 'Cause I'm about done with you.

- You wanna keep living here in the hood? - Yeah.

Then behave yourself. You hear me?

'Cause if you leave, the hood just might come after you.

- Cut the crap. - Nobody escapes the hood.

- It's not the hood's fault. - So why are we all messed up?

Let me talk.

These bougie girls at school always ask me,

"How can you live in the hood?"

I tell them it's okay here. I like it.

Oculta's where it's at.

- Guys. - You know it. Oculta rules.

Ciudad Oculta is our home. It's true.

But a change of scenery is always good. That's what the rehab center is for.

To get away from all the bad stuff.

But I've got nothing else, Father. What are you talking about?

Don't say that. You have God.

What would you do in my shoes? Wouldn't you be just like me?

Getting out is your choice.

You can get support from the group, from us, from your families--

Our families abandoned us when we were kids.

Chato, I mean the people who care about you.

You just have to take it one day at a time.

- So if I use drugs, God's gonna punish me? - No way. God isn't here to punish you.

Anyone who thinks like that doesn't understand God.

Try to think of God as your friend.

Friends don't always lead us down the right path.

Besides, the wrong path's way more fun, Father.

- Yeah. - I mean, right?

So, did the new priest understand any of this?

What did I just say?

That you like to party.

- This guy's cool. - Wow.

How do you say "party" in French?

How about "shit"?

"Son of a bitch"?

- And "fuck off"? - That's enough.

- Does it translate? - Of course it does.

- How long have they been missing? - Two weeks.

- Who are they? - Morning.

- Hi. - I'm not sure. Let's ask Cruz.

Okay.

- Forget it. - Hello.

- Morning. - Hi.

Hey.

- Hi. How's it going? - Morning.

- Not many people showed up. - I can tell. A few are missing.

- Yeah. Quite a few. - Why's that? Anyone know?

- No idea. - Don't you guys talk to them?

- I reminded them a million times. - And?

They don't want to come.

See if you can talk them into coming. It's important, right?

- They keep saying they will but-- - This is Andy.

He's been coming to our meetings. He wants to join the workshop.

Hello, Andy.

- Hi, Andy. - Make some room for him.

- All right, Nahuel. - Thanks, Nahuel.

- Take a seat. - Go ahead. Okay.

- All right. See you later. - Okay.

- Talk to your friends. - Let's continue.

- Bye. - See you, Julián.

Okay. Let's place one.

Move this over a bit. Hold it for me.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

All this is going to be demolished. They're building housing here.

The people living here now will be the first to get the new apartments.

- Morning, Father. - How are you?

Are they happy about that?

- Yeah. For the most part. - Hello, Father.

The living conditions are better, and they get to stay in the neighborhood.

Here. With their family and friends. Though you can't please everyone.

But it's the same everywhere.

So...

This is the construction site.

Know what the best part is?

These people are building their own homes.

Over there, we're going to erect a cafeteria that can seat 300 people.

I call every day.

A preschool.

- I spoke with the construction company. - A clinic.

- That's all I can do. - Put pressure on them.

I'm doing all I can. What I'm saying is, I'm with you.

We all want the same thing, Domingo.

You do. They do. I do. We're all working towards the same goal.

- Hello. - We won't finish the houses like this.

- And we won't get paid. - What's up?

Same as usual.

We haven't been paid, and she doesn't get it.

I do get it. I'm just saying there are other ways to go about it.

- We need to be patient. - Sorry. Let's get this straight.

She's not with the construction company or city council.

She's a social worker who's lending us a hand.

We all want the houses built to improve the neighborhood.

We'll try to fix this.

Have some faith.

Here's what we'll do.

I'll talk to both the city council and the construction company, okay?

But in the meantime, keep on working. Okay? All right.

That's not the only problem.

- They aren't sending materials we need. - I know.

I'll talk to the diocese.

Give me a couple of days.

- Can I have a word? - Sure. I'll be right back.

- Yeah? - What's going on, Father?

- With what? - Everything. The paychecks.

People can't wait much longer.

We're on it. Just have some patience.

- How's it going? - Good.

- What about you? - Good.

Today we'll finish the forms for your housing application.

Look this way.

All right. One more.

- Date of birth? - January 29, 1965.

Okay.

Current address?

Block 27 B, house 25.

Come with me.

Let's see. Have a seat.

I don't deserve God's love.

I'm ashamed.

It should've been me instead.

It's easy to be a martyr.

And to be a hero too.

The hardest thing is working day after day,

knowing your work is meaningless.

Remember the words of Father Mugica.

"Lord... I want to die for them."

"Help me live for them."

"I want to be with them when the light comes."

I did nothing.

Nothing.

There was nothing you could do.

I feel guilty for having survived.

This guilt won't let me breathe.

You have to stay alive.

It's your duty.

Why?

I absolve you...

of all your sins.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I baptize you in the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

There you go.

- Thank you. - Thank you for bringing her.

- Thank you. - Congratulations.

Come on over.

Looking handsome. All right.

I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

- Get out of here, man! - What's going on, Tati?

- Get lost! - Thanks.

- What's going on? Take it easy. Stop. - I went to look for the guys.

- What's going on? Come here. - Cool it.

- You don't get it. - Come here.

- I'm going over there. - What's wrong?

I'm fine. Nothing's wrong with me.

Chato, calm down. That's enough. Relax.

- Enough. - Look at me. Calm down.

Let go.

Let's get him out of here. We're taking you home.

- Cool it. - Take him away.

You hear me? Huh? Take it easy.

Beat it. Get lost.

What happened? Come here.

- What? - Look at you.

It's okay now. It's over.

Try for a few days. See if you feel better.

- Did you talk to his dad? - He's not on board.

Try again.

- Hey. - Look at me.

Look at me. Is this what you want for yourself?

Is it?

Go on. Go talk to him.

- I'll go with you. - Okay.

All right.

How about a shower?

- You'll feel better. - No.

Trust me.

Esteban relapses a lot, but I thought he was doing better this time.

He used to deal for Sandoval.

He had some run-ins with the cops.

That's why his dad doesn't want him at the rehab center.

Really?

It's tough for the kids to be here.

How long have you been working here?

Five years.

I interned in Bajo Flores, a shanty town that's less chaotic than this one.

What brought you here?

What about you?

I like the sun.

- Morning, Luciana. - Hi, Mabel.

- Did you go to the office? - I'll go on Wednesday.

Well, don't put it off. It's due this week.

- Okay. - It's here.

These are the papers we talked about.

You'll need to sign so we can get Esteban a spot.

- But there's a warrant out for him. - Yes.

If they find him, he'll go to jail.

Don't worry. We can trust these people.

I know it's hard, but we need to do something.

He needs help, Ramón. I mean it.

Did you hear about the scene he caused at the chapel?

He was running wild.

If he stays here, he'll only get worse.

Think it over.

I'll leave the papers here.

Sign them, and I'll come back later, or you can find me at the office.

Okay.

Esteban, are you okay?

Get down!

Get down from there!

You'll get yourself killed! Get back here!

Mind your own business, priest!

The priest is here.

Dude.

Move. Esteban, put that down.

- Hey, Father. - Put it down.

- Stop it! - Cut it out.

You made me come all the way up here. Now, let's go.

Quiet, all of you.

- Leave him alone. - Let's go.

It's all good here, man.

Monito, don't leave with our stash!

The police conducted a raid in Villa 31.

Six hundred kilos.

Fucking dealers.

That's a lot of drugs, and it's good it's not near the kids.

But if the cops found that much, it means there's a lot more going around.

- That should happen here. - What should happen?

They should round up those motherfuckers, put them in the soccer field,

and shoot them all.

You think that would fix it?

- I don't know. - Who would do it?

The cops?

- Or you? - I don't know.

You know a lot of Sandoval's people. Some are even friends of yours.

What about the kids?

Your students at the day program.

Some of them were or are dealers. So?

Would you shoot them too?

What about Monito, who hangs out with Sandoval's gang?

- What would you do with him? - I don't know.

You don't know.

Come on, everyone Let's get a photo with the secretary.

Thanks.

- Great. - Congratulations, Julián.

Thank you.

A little closer together.

Gentlemen, this is the first complex we're opening

as part of the development project planned to continue next year.

- Okay, everyone. - After you.

Of course, supervised by the bishop and his team of... shanty town priests.

Slum priests.

Brito and Ojeda are coming. And some people from the government.

They'll present the plans for the new housing project.

It's only right that they attend, don't you think?

They ought to pay up first.

- Then they can come. - Are you aware of what's going on?

We put the project together,

so we're the ones dealing with all the complaints.

You're right.

But don't worry. We'll sort it out.

- How could I not worry? - It's okay, Julián.

Rafael, for more than ten years I've been illegally occupying

a building that no government ever finished.

If we want these houses to be built, we need to act now.

There's not much we can do. You know that.

So go to city hall and find out what's going on.

I already went down and spoke to the minister.

Go back and demand to be heard. You're the bishop!

All right, Julián. I'll go.

Julián inherited several properties.

He sold them and used the money for the parish.

He helped many people without the diocese knowing.

Do you come from money too?

Yeah. Kind of.

So you both can afford to be poor.

I'm just kidding.

You don't like to talk much.

You haven't said more than 20 words the whole trip.

- That's because I'm listening. - Doesn't seem like it.

Did you know that Julián spent like six months in a cloistered monastery?

Yeah.

- You ever do something like that? - Yeah.

When I was ordained. Almost a year.

One year without talking?

How'd you do it?

I kept quiet.

After something like that,

you really consider each word before you speak.

Now I feel like anything I say is gonna be dumb.

- Go on. - No way.

- Come on. - No. I'm done.

Want me to put some music on?

How'd you meet Julián?

When I started working in the shanty town. He helped me earn the people's trust.

Everyone loves him there.

He helped me connect with them.

You two met when he was traveling, right?

Yeah. When I was about to graduate from the seminary.

I followed him. I listened to him.

Later on, he was my confessor.

We were very close for many years.

He has a lot of trust in you. You can tell he cares about you.

- You got it? - Yeah.

- Don't worry. I've got it. - Okay.

Hello!

I guess no one's home.

- Let's leave it at the chapel. - Okay.

- Want help? - No, I'm fine.

Okay.

Keep going!

You fucking murderer!

Killer! Get him!

You son of a bitch!

Son of a bitch!

Watch out. Stay where you are, asshole.

Come on.

- Come here, you bastard. - Let's go.

Over here.

Take that, prick.

Come on. Let's go.

Run.

They killed my nephew.

They won't give us his body. I need to do something.

They will.

My brother-in-law won't take this lying down.

This is only going to get worse.

I need help. Please.

Calm down.

I can't.

Julián isn't picking up.

I can't calm down!

I need you to bring Mario here. Please do something!

- You need to help me. - You have to calm down.

Where is this place?

- I know the way. - Yeah?

No. Hold on, Cruz. Please.

We need to wait.

We can't go onto Carmelita's turf.

- Why's that? - My brother-in-law is going to be furious.

Sandoval's the kid's godfather.

This is a drug war. We can't get involved.

- We have to wait for Julián. - I can't.

Please, Father.

- Cruz, let's go. - You want to?

Nicolás, you can't go there.

You can't. Wait.

Let's wait for Julián.

- Wait, Nicolás. - Don't go!

Just past the corner, door 102.

Kids come here to buy.

It's her lab.

She's been at war with Sandoval for a while.

Over control of the hood.

This is as far as I'll go.

He's here to see Carmelita.

I work with Father Julián.

- Go in, Father. - Thanks.

Be careful. I'll wait here.

What are you doing here, Father?

I'm here to see the boss.

- Hello. - The priest can go in.

Okay. Go ahead.

Enough, Abel.

Go ahead.

- Watch out. - The priest is here.

Sorry.

Watch your step. Come on.

Come on. Keep moving.

Don't be afraid.

Open up. It's over there.

Come on. Go in.

It's all good. Go in.

That way, Father.

What are you doing here?

Move along.

Get out of here. That way.

- It hurts, man. - Over there. Keep going.

This way.

Ma'am.

Evening.

- Good evening. - You're the new priest, right?

- Yeah. - What do you want?

I'm here for Mario.

Just tell Sandoval to stay off my turf.

We want peace.

That's a lot to ask for.

Let him be.

Use that wheelbarrow.

Over there.

- Here? - Yeah.

Come on.

Hold on.

You got it?

That way.

Over there.

What's that, Father?

Who is it?

- It's Mario. - We need to see Sandoval.

Let's take him inside.

- No. I'll take him. - We'll take him.

- What's the matter? - No. You stay.

- Stay. - Stop it.

- I said stay. - Enough.

- You stay. - You go, Nicolás. Go on.

Go on. I'll wait here. Go ahead.

Open up. We've got Mario.

Thanks, Father.

Make sure this stops now.

Get out of here. Leave.

We've never gone there. It's not our place.

Priests don't negotiate with drug lords.

- I didn't negotiate. I asked. - Same thing.

- It sets a precedent. - Julián.

How can we keep the kids away from those people

if we go asking them for favors?

- It was a way to avoid more killings. - That's not your call to make.

The decisions we make can jeopardize something

much bigger than all of us.

Do you get it?

Yeah.

I thought it was for the best.

- I was probably wrong. - Yes, you were.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Where are you going?

We'll get justice. Mario, I promise you.

Wake up, Mario!

- Come on, Mario! Wake up! - Mario, may the angels be at your side.

May the saints receive you in heaven.

- We can't keep losing our kids! - Rest in peace.

- No, Mario. - He was just a kid!

We need to kill them all.

Where is God now?

Where is he?

Wake up, Mario!

We want justice!

Your job is to work with me, not to get involved in all that.

Then what is a priest's job?

You know what I mean, smart-ass.

We're a team, but I'm the parish priest.

I said I was sorry. I don't know what more you want me to do.

I asked you to work with me because I know you.

I respect you. I know who you are.

- I value your character and courage. - Doesn't seem like it.

But I need to know if you can lead this parish.

Lead this parish? Why?

Never mind.

What's going on?

Never mind.

- What is it? - Never mind.

I'm tired.

Really tired.

Sometimes I want to tell everyone to go fuck off.

When they come to ask for breakfast,

tell them, "I don't have any. I can't get any."

"Go fuck off, ma'am."

"Go fuck off, sir."

Sometimes I can't even look them in the eye.

That's never happened to me.

I'm full of rage.

And it gets worse every day.

I'm afraid.

I don't want to end up hating everyone.

No, Julián.

You don't know how to hate.

You're suffering.

Let's pray.

Let's pray.

Julián, I wanted to talk to you about something I'm worried about.

Are you aware that Mugica's beatification is being held up?

Yes.

We tried the martyrdom angle,

but in Rome, they won't accept that he was killed for his Catholic ideals.

So I thought we could try the miracle angle.

- Miracle? - Uh-huh.

How can I help you with that? I don't get it.

There's a lady in the Rodrigo Bueno slum.

Doctors said she had two months to live.

But apparently, she prayed to Mugica and was cured.

Go see her.

See if her story can help Mugica's case.

FATHER CARLOS MUGICA

Okay. Don't... Stay still.

Because you're... There you go.

Nervous?

"LORD, I WANT TO LIVE AS A FREE MAN FROM NOW ON."

FATHER CARLOS MUGICA

Come with us, Mary Come with us as we walk

Come with us, Mary

Come with us as we walk

Come with us, Mary

Come with us as we walk

Jesus said to his disciples,

"You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles

lord it over them."

"And their great ones make their authority over them felt."

"But it shall not be so among you."

"Whoever would be great among you must be your servant."

"For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve."

"And to give his life as a ransom for many."

- The word of the Lord. - Thanks be to God.

Today is the 37th anniversary of the death and martyrdom

of Father Carlos Mugica.

The slum is very different now than it was then.

We have new problems. There are more of us now.

But we are here.

And I find the same spirit in all of you.

Because we are all united.

Today we remember a brother, a friend.

And his memory unites us.

To confront violence.

To fight violence with love.

Violence today isn't the same as it was in the past.

But our love hasn't changed.

That's why, today...

at the parish founded by our beloved Father Mugica,

the Cristo Obrero parish,

we are going to witness an act of love, a birth.

The same way our slums have given us doctors, teachers, and lawyers...

today Brother Danilo will devote himself to God.

Today we will have a new priest.

A son of Villa 31.

Congrats, Danilo!

Careful. It's hot.

- They look great. - A Frenchman making Argentinian food.

- I'm not French. I'm Belgian. - Same thing.

Are you going to finish it or give it back?

Sorry.

- My bad. - It's okay.

- Here, boy. - Here.

Want some beer?

Have some.

Okay.

I'm a bit...

- What's wrong? - I'm gonna be sick.

- Open the window. - I think--

- Open the window. - Stop the car.

- I can't. Open the window. - Pull over.

Gross.

- Are you okay? - Lean back.

Open the window.

Here.

Here.

- Are you okay? - Are you all right?

Relax. Breathe.

- Open the window. - Yeah.

Breathe.

- This is Tatiana. - Hi, Tatiana.

- This is Father Nicolás. - Hello.

Okay.

Esteban, how are you?

How's it going, Father?

- Good. - All good?

Hang in there a little longer. You'll get better soon.

I am better.

Can't you tell, Father?

You're still kind of skinny.

- Because I have a girlfriend now. - Yeah?

- One of the girls here. - What's her name?

- Yeah. - How's it going?

It's awesome. You don't know what you're missing.

- Yeah. - It's great.

I do know.

When's the last time you were with a girl?

A few years ago.

But you were already a priest?

That's a sin!

I missed you, Father.

I missed you too.

Being here is doing you good.

Here. Start setting up for mass. The chapel needs a good cleaning.

I'm going to bless a house.

Then I'll go buy communion wafers and wine.

But make sure you clean it well. Some dogs got in.

Rosa didn't lock the door.

Are you listening?

Yeah.

Hi.

Hi there.

Father Mugica came to me in a dream.

I told him I was sick

and that I didn't have faith that I could be cured.

Talk to me about how you felt before Father Mugica appeared to you.

I was sure my life was at an end.

Because I couldn't walk.

I couldn't think clearly.

Can you understand, Father, what it's like to go through that?

Yes.

I thought I was going to die.

But God and faith,

like the Father taught me, saved me.

The doctors said it was a miracle.

How do you say "nose" in French?

And "eyes"?

Have you ever thought about starting a family?

Yeah. That's when I force myself to stop thinking.

How can my calling be compatible with my desire to build a family?

It's not possible.

Don't you ever get lonely?

I do.

Sometimes.

But not right now.

Never mind.

- Julián, I went to city hall. - Did you get the money?

They said they paid and the construction company has it.

- Sure. Now they blame each other. - But you're with the construction company.

- What do you mean? - The diocese, Julián.

Isn't it clear?

I don't get your point.

I can't do much more. The ball's in your court now.

Come over here.

What?

I have to leave.

- Why, Cruz? - I can't take it anymore.

What about the kids? Think about them.

The work.

All we still need to do.

I've reached my limit. That's why I have to leave.

I'm sorry.

- I don't get you. - You'll have to forgive me.

This isn't about forgiveness.

I'm a good person. Julián, you know that.

I just hope that one day you can forgive me.

I don't know what you did.

But I think you need to forgive yourself first.

More over here.

All of it.

The cops are coming! Run!

Hurry! They're coming this way!

- Let's go. - Run! It's the pigs!

Move it!

- Come on. - Let's go. Run!

Watch out. Go.

- Hurry! - Run.

Let's go. This way.

Motherfuckers!

Keep going. To the chapel.

Move out!

Over here!

Come on.

- Julián, where should we go? - The house.

Hold on. Who's in charge here?

- What should I do? - Get the kids to the house.

- Let's go! - Hold on!

No! Don't throw stuff at them!

Listen to me. Head over there. Stop throwing stuff.

Get going.

Stop.

Don't throw stuff. Go. Over there.

Let's go.

Damn pigs!

Yanina, give her to me!

Has anyone seen her mom?

Come on. Over here. Let's go.

Has anyone seen her mom? This way.

Come on.

- It's okay. - Come on, Julián!

It's okay.

Close it. Close the gate.

Father.

- Open up, Father. - I can't.

- You know they're criminals. - You can't come in.

- Open up. - Only with a warrant.

Come back with a warrant.

- We'll be back, Father. - Get a warrant.

- We'll talk then. - I'll be back.

- I'll be waiting. - I'll be back.

- I'll be here. - I'll come back.

Fucking pigs!

Hold on!

- What's wrong? - It's all...

What's wrong, Julián? Get him some water.

Are you okay? What's wrong?

- We need an ambulance! - Call a doctor!

- Breathe. - Help him up.

Breathe. Hang in there.

- Ambulance! - Let's get him up.

- Come on. - Easy.

Let him through!

Make room!

We have César Sandoval in custody.

Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world.

Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,

but only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.

- The body of Christ. - Amen.

- The body of Christ. - Amen.

The body of Christ.

How are you doing?

How's everyone?

You gave us a scare.

- Is everything okay? - Yeah.

We were lucky.

- How do you feel? - All right.

Great.

My throat's a little sore.

- I'll need some clean clothes. - Okay.

- Can you...? - Sure.

I thought you knew.

Now I get why you're here.

- How is she? - Confused, I guess.

- Like me. - You're not confused.

You're only thinking about yourself.

- You forgot about the rest of us. - I know.

- This isn't easy for me. - What's your plan?

You can't be selfish.

What about the project? The people? The parish?

I don't know! I have no idea.

You need to figure out what you're doing.

We don't have much time.

I'm trying to get city hall to pay you, and now you're on strike?

We don't even have money for food.

Don't you realize we're doing everything we can?

- It's not enough. - Us too.

- Excuse me, Father. - What?

Go take care of church business. I'll handle things here.

We can't solve this just with faith and a couple of Our Fathers.

What we need is cash.

Go down there and tell them they need to pay up.

Period. That's all.

I go down there every day. It's not that simple.

Well, you already have a house of your own.

I'm working for you to have a house too. You think you can talk to me like that?

- Why do you go to city hall every day? - So you'll have somewhere to live!

You go to pick up your cut, right?

- How much did they give you? - We'll fix this.

- How much? - How much did they pay you? Fuck off!

Enough, Domingo.

Go sleep under a bridge, asshole!

Get lost, you con artist!

What are you doing?

I've had enough.

I don't know why the hell I decided to get involved in all this.

I'm tired.

So leave.

It's probably easier that way.

Easier? Do you know how hard it is for me to come here every day?

I know it's hard. It's hard on me too!

I didn't choose to be here.

But I can't do this on my own.

If you leave...

I need you.

I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore.

Wait.

- Hold on. - What?

We shouldn't.

- I'm sorry. - It's all right.

What's going on? What did they tell you?

I don't know what's going on.

I'm okay. I feel fine.

- What happened with the chapel? - We finished sealing the roof.

- How'd it turn out? - Good.

We shouldn't have leaks anymore.

I'm not lying to you.

I'll tell you as soon as I know more.

Who helped you with the roof?

You know where he is now?

He was leading mass.

- Really? - Yeah. He did great.

How come you don't know where he is?

Open up!

- Who is it? - Coming.

- Hold on. - Come on.

Stop. Julián, be careful.

Monito, what are you doing here?

Father, it's your fault Sandoval got busted.

- What? - Let's go.

- You're working for the cops, right? - Who said that?

Be careful.

Who sent you? Who?

You've been warned, Father.

Did you know about this?

Excuse me. Sorry.

Excuse me. Let me through, please.

Just for a minute.

Let me through for just a second.

Watch it!

- I need to get through. - No.

- I need to get inside. - Let him through.

Get back, I said! Get back!

- He's up there. - Where?

There. Up there.

Up there. That way.

How are you?

Fine.

I don't know. I still can't believe it.

How did I not realize?

They say Monito's working for Sandoval.

That's what I heard. I can't find him anywhere.

- When did you see him last? - A few days ago.

The police were here last night.

They tore the place apart and beat me up.

They also told me Monito killed the cop working in the parish.

That Sandoval ordered the hit.

Where did they hear that?

Have you seen Monito?

- Do you know where he is? - You seen Monito?

- What about you? - What's your problem, dude?

Hey, you.

Have you seen Monito, man?

- You son of a bitch! - Quit it!

- I'm gonna kill you! - Leave him alone.

- Enough! - You're dead, you dirtbag.

- You're trash! - He isn't here.

- I'll get you, damn junkie. - Let's go.

Come on, everybody. Get up.

Let's go. We gotta leave. It's over. The construction's been suspended.

It's done. Let's go.

- Come on. - Let's go, everybody.

It'll all go to waste.

Come on. Get up. Let's go.

Hey.

Come on. Let's go.

- Come on. - Let's go, everybody.

- Does this seem fair to you? - Let's go.

Come on.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of Grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now

and at the hour of our death. Amen.

- I'm going with them. - No. Stay.

- Let me go. - It's insanity. Think about it!

- I have. - You're going to ruin everything!

- We'll do it ourselves. - Come on!

Marta, you and Domingo go that way.

Come this way.

Come this way! This way!

Take all of it.

Come on. Keep moving.

Hey! Over here!

Over here.

We are the people!

We do the work!

And whoever doesn't like it is a jerk!

Friends, the land is ours.

We will build the houses ourselves.

The land is ours!

We will not stand down!

Friends, we will build the houses.

Thanks, Father.

- Here. - There you go.

Thanks.

Hey, Miguel!

- Great. Thank you. - Thank you, Father.

And it's not the first time this has happened.

I understand the frustration, the anger.

I feel it too.

But it's not our job to get the project finished.

We can do paperwork, make an effort--

Or we can do nothing and let the project fail.

We've been working in the slums for over 60 years.

You call that doing nothing?

- No, but it's not enough. - What do you want us to do, then?

- Want some water? - Yes, please.

Want some water?

- Thanks, Luciana! - You're welcome.

Everything okay?

The cops are going to kick us out.

We're staying anyway.

I don't care about the cops.

I'm not leaving!

We have the right to a home of our own! A decent home!

The locals are occupying the lot. There will be trouble.

It's not just the locals.

They're being rallied by people working for political movements.

Whatever you say. But the locals are flocking there.

Do you think they bribed them all?

No, but many are being manipulated to serve political agendas.

- You want us to support the occupation? - No.

But we need to get more involved.

We're not politicians.

In a situation like this, we need to be more than priests.

Let me be clear.

You work within an organization.

You are here because you care about my input.

And even if you don't, I'll give it to you anyway.

The land is ours!

We won't back down in the face of government and police oppression.

Friends!

Come on! We have to keep them out!

You are illegally occupying this lot.

If you do not disperse, we will be forced to make you leave.

The authorities are going to clear this area.

Please disperse.

This is an illegal occupation.

The area is about to be cleared.

Tell the council members I'll be with them shortly.

We need to beat these pigs!

Let's fucking kill these pricks!

Motherfuckers!

Stop it!

There are kids here! Stop!

You're not getting in here, you damn pigs!

Enough! Stop!

- Bastards! - Please!

Stop! That's enough!

- Let's go. - Enough.

Luciana, let's go! Careful!

Please!

- Stop it! - What's your problem?

Let me through.

Come on!

Get back!

Get to the chapel!

Stop, you bastard!

You won't force us to leave, you damn pigs!

Come on. Up here!

Damn pigs!

Everyone to the chapel!

Let's take them there!

This way.

Let's go.

Apply pressure. Here?

Slowly. Great. Press there.

Don't move it.

- Does it hurt? - Yeah.

Don't move it.

- Okay, Domingo. - Clean it.

Where does it hurt?

Let me see your face.

Relax. They'll come.

It's hydrogen peroxide. Clean her wound.

Breathe. Easy.

Where's Lisandro?

He went to get some stuff. I don't know.

Do you need something?

Some gauze.

- Gauze? - That's enough.

Let's see.

Here. Clean her wound.

Julián, he's been shot.

What happened?

- What's wrong, Monito? - He got shot.

- They're gonna kill me! - Easy. Put your leg here.

- Let me see. - Don't touch it.

- What happened? - Let me see.

- I need to see. - Easy.

Breathe slowly. Calm down.

- Let's get him to the hospital. - He was hit.

- There's a lot of blood. - Yeah.

- Who will get the car? - I'll go.

- It hurts! - Calm down. What happened?

- They-- - Shut up!

Tell him, Monito.

You need to tell me. Look at me. What happened?

I killed the cop... who worked for you.

Do you get it?

They're gonna kill me, Father!

Okay. Come on. Let's go.

- We need to get him out of here. - Let's do it.

- It hurts! - Come on. Stand up.

Stand up. Don't shout.

- Help me. - Easy, Monito.

Quiet. Keep it down.

- Will you take him? - Yes.

- Stay here with Lisandro. - Okay. No, you're staying with me.

Quiet. Make sure there's no one out there.

It's okay. Let's go.

Easy.

- Be careful. - You too.

Keep calm.

Help me, please.

Hurry up, Father! Help me!

It hurts.

Relax. It's okay.

Help me, Father.

It hurts! Help me!

Quiet. We're getting you out.

Affirmative...

Hurry up.

They're over there. Quiet.

- Hide. Cover him. - Be quiet.

Be quiet.

Hold on. Wait.

Be quiet for a minute.

Shut up. We just passed them.

Those bastards are the ones who want to kill me.

- Where did you get this? - Give me that.

- Don't take it! - Where'd you get it?

- What should I do? - Leave it on the floor.

- How much further, Father? - Quiet. Stop moving.

- Cover him. - Quit moving around.

- It hurts. - Hide him.

- Be quiet. Come on. - Please.

It hurts!

Calm down.

We need to get out of here.

Yeah. I saw.

- What do we do? - Let me think.

I'm scared, Father.

Stay back there.

Help me!

- Evening, Father. - Good evening.

- This is a police operation. - Excuse me?

This is a police operation.

All right. What do you need?

- I'm looking for a kid. - Who?

- You know who, Father. - No.

Yes, you do. Who's in the car, Father?

- Father Nicolás. - Ask him to get out. Get out.

- Why? Talk to me instead. - I said get out.

- But-- - Get out. Do you understand?

Get out for a minute.

- What's the problem? - I'm searching the car.

Can you move so I can search it?

- I'm just doing my job. - Search it?

- What for? - Freeze, or I'll shoot, you fucking brat.

- Please don't! - Freeze!

- Please. - Stop!

Please!

Freeze. You, move.

- Come on. - Leave him alone.

Move, or I'll shoot.

Out of the way.

Move over, or I'll shoot you too.

- Move. - Officer!

- Please. - Drop the gun.

- Okay. - Drop the gun.

- Okay. Listen. He's wounded. - I'm not after you.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Move.

Move!

Come here.

Help me. Get over here.

Move. Let's go.

Out of the way.

Copy that. Attention, dispatch. We have a code 38.

Officer down.

Location, 16th Street and Venezuela, Ciudad Oculta.

I repeat, dispatch. Attention. We have a 10-17.

- Call a doctor! - We have a 10-17.

Please.

- Send an ambulance. - Let me go!

Call Luciana! Call a doctor!

Stop struggling.

Stop!

Stop struggling!

Don't hurt me!

Enough! Stop, please!

- Call a doctor! - I'll kill you!

Long live Father Julián!
