A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS OF CARLOS TEVEZ'S LIFE

CIUDADELA YEAR: 1984

Cocona...

He died without meeting his son.

Now they'll meet in heaven.

Shut the fuck up.

And don't be a jinx, my nephew isn't going anywhere.

He's a Tevez.

And Cocona didn't die...

Cocona was killed.

He was killed because he stood up.

Because he stood up for you.

Do you want to fight?

Do you want to fight with me? Come outside.

Come! I don't give a shit if you are my brother!

Look.

Look over there, you fool!

What are they doing?

Dude!

He's asleep.

No, wait, wait.

Dude.

Easy, he's asleep.

Look at him.

Enough.

Don't wake him up.

-Should we go home? Let's have a drink. -Let's go celebrate.

What do you need? I'll go to the grocer's.

-Wow, that's delicious! -Amazing!

Today I found out about a unit in Matienzo.

We are a little overcrowded here, Dad.

It may be good for a start.

And after what happened, Chila...

-says she doesn't want to stay here. -Sure.

-I see. -You know how she is...

No smoking in here. Go outside.

-One smoke, Chila. -Go outside.

He almost burned to death and you're worried about a bit of smoke?

-He's a jackass. -Honey, let's take a picture.

Let's!

Do you want a smoke?

Dude, I've lost count of how many empanadas I ate.

How's Trina?

No idea.

She's probably home.

You know her.

Carlos is her son.

She says she can't raise him for the time being.

And it's kind of true, you know. Until...

I get a job.

The nurse thought...

that Chila was his mom.

What can I say?

He's neither yours nor mine.

They're sisters. Let them sort it out.

Chila says hello.

She was thrilled.

Very happy.

There was a pile of food.

Marta cooked chicken empanadas.

They were fucking amazing!

So there was food?

Why didn't you bring anything? I'm hungry here.

You should've come.

God knows who you stayed with.

Everybody asked about you. I didn't even know what to say.

Why should I go? So they can give me the stink eye?

Come on, Carlitos is your son.

I know. Do you think I'm an idiot?

But I'm not going there so they can look at me like I'm trash.

I'd rather stay here alone, starving.

I told them he'd be better off living there, with them.

And what did they say?

Nothing.

I only told Segundo.

You have to talk it over. She's your sister.

Why didn't you come today?

Do you want to come up?

He's about to sleep. You can at least kiss him.

Will you take care of him?

Yes.

Like he was my own son.

Like I've always done.

What about Segundo?

I don't know.

You know he always seems unmoved.

But when we were taking care of Carlos, I found him crying.

He said, "If something happens to Carlos, I'll kill myself."

I'm off.

Mom!

Here comes Carlitos. Tevez goes through.

Here comes Tevez, here he comes, here comes Apache.

Tevez keeps going, he's about to score. Tevez, Tevez!

Goal!

THE LIFE OF CARLOS TEVEZ

Sometimes we were playing soccer when they would open fire...

and bullets would fly past us. We would hide or drop to the floor.

We would laugh, look at each other and say, "You shit your pants" or...

We didn't really know what was going on. We were just kids.

YEAR: 1996

You asshole! What did you throw at me?

Just a pebble.

You're too old for those games, you jerk-off!

-Leave that to kids! -Easy.

Calm down. Where are you going?

-To school, where else? -Let's go to Liniers.

-What for? -To try out for the club.

-Right now? -No, let's do it tomorrow.

Of course I mean now, let's go.

-I can't. -Why not?

I don't have the right clothes and I have to study.

And if my dad finds out I skipped school, he'll tear me a new one.

And Mom's still upset about Jony.

I don't want to bring more trouble home.

I also dreamed about Jony...

a couple of times.

In one dream, he shot us both in the head and killed us.

It was horrible.

But that's over now.

Come on, let's go try out for the club. Are you afraid?

Afraid of what?

Of them rejecting you, like they did in Boedo.

In Boedo they rejected me because I was ill.

And the coach was crazy.

He wouldn't stop yelling.

He was a pain in the ass.

Come on, now yelling bothers you?

Come on, let's try out. It's a great club, and it's close by.

If they choose us, your dad won't give a fuck you skipped school.

Come on, let's go.

Come with me, as a favor.

Wow!

-What's up, Uncle? -How are you doing, guys?

Are you behaving?

Or are you up to no good?

-Where did you get this car, Kiru? -I borrowed it from a friend.

-Nice, isn't it? -Amazing!

Though the door has some scratches. Those motherfuckers...

Are you heading to school?

Do you want me to take you? And arrive like kings?

Can you take us to Liniers? We want to try out for the club.

Wow!

I like that idea.

But if they choose you, you'll have to send some money my way.

Get in, come on.

Hurry up!

Get in, Uruguayan. What's wrong?

-Come on, get in. -I don't know.

Are you telling me you don't want to beat one of those blond idiots

who are always trying out there?

Come on, get in already, Carlitos!

That's what I'm talking about.

What will we do when his mom starts looking for him?

Nothing.

Poor woman.

I hope she gets over it soon.

She must be wondering where she failed as a mother.

-Who's there? -Do you have some clothes to donate?

Come in, shorty.

That's a nice car you're putting together.

What do you want?

I wanted to ask if these guys can come to the birthday party.

How many are they?

These guys! These three.

Them? Yes, I already knew they were coming.

But no trouble.

And what do you care?

It's his birthday, not yours.

You have to work on your manners.

There might be something wrong with your head.

Have someone look at it. Maybe a couple of blows would fix it.

Come on, shorty, go help Mom.

See you tonight. We don't have to bring anything, right?

Right.

That boy will get you into trouble.

I wouldn't stand having a brother like that.

If I were you, I would send him away to study or work.

But far away, because someday he will get shot.

These jackasses take hours...

and they end up picking a bunch of duds.

-We were solid, though. -Of course.

When have I ever not been solid?

-If they pick us, we have come tomorrow. -What?

-We have to come back if they pick us. -I can't.

-Why not? -Because I have to study.

I can't skip school twice, dude.

Why do you study?

Do you know anyone who got rich studying?

-No, I don't know any rich person. -Me neither.

Guys... pay attention for a minute.

First, thank you all for coming.

We have a list of the ones who must be back on Thursday.

Manrique.

Celera.

-Morete, Martín. -That's my boy!

Cristianez.

Martínez.

Martínez who?

Martínez, Marcelo.

Great!

-And Martínez, Carlos. Both of them. -That's how it's done! Great!

Centellana.

And Saldívar. That's it, guys.

-What do you mean "that's it"? -Thank you.

What about me?

-Didn't I call your name? -No, you didn't.

-What's your name? -Sánchez, Danilo.

Check there.

Here he is.

There you are, under the letter "O."

Great!

Look at you two!

I told you they were going to pick me. I slaughtered them all.

We have to come back tomorrow. Are you taking us?

Are you coming back?

-I guess so. -Okay. Good.

But you have to tell your dad about this.

I don't like to hide things.

Especially from my brother.

-Today was a favor, understood? -Okay.

-Cool. -Kiru?

-What? -What's in this bag?

Open it. It's a little gift.

Open it already.

Wow.

Who gave this to you?

It's not for me, you idiot. I have mine here, see?

It's a little gift for a very important person.

Put it away, Uruguayan! Come on!

-Well... -Drop us here.

-Bye! Thanks, Uncle! -Bye!

Go now. Don't say anything, kid.

-Thanks, Kiru. See you. -See you.

Don't tell anyone.

Come one, let's go that way.

-Kiru is really cool. -Yes.

You shit your pants earlier today.

-You thought you were out. -Are you talking to me?

Not at all. Didn't you see how I played? It was obvious there was a mistake.

Shut up.

Hey, you!

What's up, Freddy? Does your uncle own that car?

-Yes, why? -It's cool.

Why don't you borrow it to drive around with Mariela?

Why don't you do that?

-What? -Hey, what are you throwing at us? Hey!

-What's wrong, Uruguayan? -I'm going to bash your head in.

-Asshole! -Motherfucker.

-Fags. -Assholes!

-Motherfucker! -See you around.

-Fucking fag! -Come on, it's over.

-Fuck them. -Jerks.

Listen.

I need you to help me out with Mariela tonight.

She'll be home alone and I'll go there to... You know.

Well done!

So her dad won't be there?

At night he always goes check on the construction sites.

-And there's like five of them. -Five?

Yes, he's out for two or three hours.

Be careful with Hugo.

He's crazy.

Not even Kiru can save you from him.

That's why I need you.

To be my lookout and whistle if her dad comes.

Does it have to be today?

It's Jorge's birthday.

There will be sandwiches, expensive soda...

and ice cream.

I haven't eaten since yesterday.

I went with you to the club.

Now I need your help with Mariela.

Then you can go to the party. It will surely end late.

A true friend would say yes.

-Hi. -Hello.

What's up?

Where were you?

How are you doing in school?

Fine, great. What are you looking at?

Dad, can I go out tonight?

No.

-Why? -Because.

-Why? -I don't want you out at night.

It's Jorge's birthday.

-The Uruguayan will be there. -You're not going!

Why not?

Because you're not going. You heard your mom.

Lights out, come on.

Put that book down.

Tuck yourself in.

Come on now, go to sleep.

Don't do that. I don't want to be worried sick about you.

-Come on, Mom. -Don't insist.

I said no.

-Happy birthday to you...! -Louder!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, Jorgito!

-Happy birthday to you! -Bravo!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JORGE

Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Like that!

Jorgito, the best is yet to come, dude.

What?

-Look at that! -Isn't it cool?

It's a big bag, isn't it?

-What did you get me? A suit? -A box of chocolates.

-How romantic. -Open it.

-Tada! -Wow!

Cool!

-Careful, it's loaded. -Look at it.

-It's a cool gun. -Right?

Look at it. It's beautiful. You can kill two birds with one shot.

-Careful, don't point it at yourself. -Take it away from him.

-Double barrel. -Right?

Really?

Awesome, man.

That's so cool!

Can I borrow it for a while?

Are you nuts? Do you want to lose a foot?

-Get out of here. -Who's this guy?

Do you think I'm an idiot?

Come on, let me have it for a while.

He wants some beer!

What do you look at him for? Is he your husband?

Go buy some beer, shorty.

Do you think I'm your errand boy?

Hernán.

Go buy some beer. I'll give you money and you can buy something to eat too.

Why doesn't he go with the car he parked outside?

This kid was taught no manners, Jorgito.

Don't you know kids run errands?

Man up and go buy some beer. Come on.

Suck my dick. I'll just take some cake and leave.

I'm out here. Fuck this shitty party.

-Come on, guys. Let's go. -How insolent.

Hey! Why don't we just go buy some beer?

Because we're taking that asshole Kiru's car for a spin!

How did you get that?

-Come on! -No, your brother will be angry.

-He will kill you. -He can suck my dick.

-Come on. Let's take it for a spin! -Let's go!

-That's comfortable. -This seat is the best!

-No! -Yes, you're ticklish.

-What about you? Aren't you ticklish? -What about you?

Take that.

You take that.

-What are you looking at? -Nothing.

-And you? -Nothing.

-Hi. -Hi.

Is everything okay?

It's cold.

Here you go, Cholito.

-Thanks. -Start upstairs now.

Do a neat job, like the last time.

Careful.

-You supervise them. -Okay.

Make sure you do the fine plasterwork yourself.

Sure. Thank you.

-Hugo... -Yes?

I saw you're selling your house. Is that right?

Right?

-Yes. -And is the price too high?

How much are you asking for it?

-Why do you ask? -Because I really need to move.

Our house is small...

and we're expecting again.

So...

I have some savings, and I thought maybe...

I can give you that money

and pay the rest with work. Whatever you need.

It's hard.

Would you be willing to use that pickup for work?

To carry materials back and forth?

-Yes. -Are you okay with that?

-Yes? -Yes.

Because I need someone to pick up some faucets...

in Banfield, in the south.

-Faucets? -Faucets.

I see.

And how would that be?

You go there... now.

-Now? -Sure.

-But I have to supervise the work here. -Just take a look around and go.

It's better if you go now. There's less traffic at night.

That way you can start doing some work to pay for the house.

So you're selling it to me.

If you accept the job.

-Okay, let's do it. It's a deal. -Yes?

Ester...

hand that over.

Look.

You have to go here and ask for Tito.

Tito's a bald guy.

What's wrong?

I'm scared.

Don't worry. Danilo's outside in case your dad comes back.

He's our lookout.

What's up, buddy?

What do you think?

Should I go to the party or not?

Listen to me.

If you bark once, I'll go to the party.

Otherwise, I'll stay.

Good boy.

That's my dad.

That's my dad. Let me through.

That's my girl.

-Come on, what's wrong? -Mariela!

-So... -What's wrong?

-Yes. -This door is locked.

-Hide. -Where?

-Hide! -Mariela!

-Mariela! -Calm down, Hugo.

Open up, damn it! Why did you lock the door?

Sorry, I forgot about it.

And why are you up so late?

-I remembered I had to let you in... -What?

-Go to bed! -Calm down, Hugo.

Don't worry, it's okay.

It's okay. I'll go home, we can talk tomorrow.

-I'll be there tomorrow, around 09:45 a.m. -Not now.

-Okay? -Okay.

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

-Don't worry. We're okay. -I'll be there tomorrow morning, okay?

-Okay? -I'll be waiting.

Go to bed! What the hell are you still doing there?

-Do you want some cake? -For dessert.

-Is that good? -Yes.

-I was starving. -So you tried out for Liniers?

-How did it go? -They picked me.

Obviously.

-I did great. -Good.

-Good. I'm really happy for you. -Thank you.

Here.

-What is that for? -For you to use it however you want.

Here, it's yours.

-For real? -Yes, sure, kid.

Thank you.

Uruguayan...

did you see my brother?

No, I just got here.

Fuck! I sent him for beer.

Are we going to buy beer for the guys or not?

No! Are you out of your mind?

Make engine noises, motherfuckers! Come on!

Fucking bastard! Son of a bitch!

What the fuck are you doing here, motherfucker?

What the fuck are you doing here, motherfucker?

What are you doing here, fucker?

You little shit!

-Did you come to rob me? -Dad, let him go!

-If I didn't know your dad, I'd shoot you! -Let him go!

-He's my boyfriend! -Son of a--

What? Is he your boyfriend?

Your fucking boyfriend?

This piece of shit?

Come on, turn up the volume!

CHILDREN ARE THE ONLY PRIVILEGED ONES

Look at the road, jackass. You'll crash.

No! If I say I know how to drive, I know how to drive, you idiot.

Okay, calm down, dude.

You don't like it?

Jump off my car. Come on, open the door and jump.

Leave me alone, son of a bitch.

How dare you insult my mom? Are you out of your mind?

-Son of a bitch! -Stop!

-Stop, you idiot! It was a joke! -I'll kick your ass!

Stop! Look at the road!

Dude.

Dude, get out.

Fucking kids! What the hell are you doing?

Fuck! Come on, run!

Let's get the fuck out of here.

Let's go.

Who's there?

It's me... Carlos.

What happened?

-Where were you? -I apologize for the late hour, ma'am.

But I found your son...

in my house... under my bed!

Under his bed? What were you doing in his house?

I went to see my friend.

And why were you under the bed?

I was with Mariela.

You have to teach him better, ma'am.

I mistook him for a thief.

-I could've shot him by accident. -No.

He went to see your daughter.

Okay, it's kids' stuff. I get that.

He'd better not do that again.

Is it clear?

Why did you sneak out?

Do you take me for an idiot?

What if that crazy bastard killed you? What then?

-I'm sorry. -Go to bed!

-You're right. -Shut up and go to bed!

Little Jorge took it.

What did you say?

He took the car. Little Jorge.

Hernán.

How was the party?

Were there many people?

Were your cousins there?

What's that?

Rice stew.

I don't like you celebrating birthdays without your family.

I'm here now, Mom. Celebrating with you.

What is it that you brought?

Don't bring dangerous things here.

It's a gift... from Kiru.

That's how you celebrate my birthday?

What else happened last night?

Nothing. That's all I remember.

I'm tired, let me eat.

See, Mom? I told you there was no food.

This isn't food.

At least there's something to eat. Don't be ungrateful.

And not thanks to you, because you never bring in a dime.

Do you want money?

Here.

Take it.

You don't remember anything?

Don't you remember I was there?

Drop it already, Carlos.

Will you be frowning the whole way?

I thought it would be okay.

You screwed me.

Her dad beat her up.

And my mom did a scandal.

Luckily my dad was asleep when I left this morning.

Do you think your mom will tell him?

I don't know. I'll find out when I get back.

Going back there better be worth it.

Of course it will be worth it. That's a done deal. They will choose us.

Was the party good?

It was dead.

I only got a bit of cake.

-Was Kiru there? -I don't know. I didn't see him.

Cochi and Jorge were there.

Cochi's cool.

Your ticket, please.

Thank you.

Your ticket, please.

Motherfucker!

Fucking son of a bitch!

Son of a--

What did they do to you? What did those motherfuckers do to you?

They took the stereo. They...

Fucking bastard!

Motherfucker!

Are you sure they won't remember?

Of course I'm sure, they were too high.

My brother's brain is almost fried by now.

-I was starving when I left. -Those junkies.

We had nothing to eat. Your brother's a bastard.

-Luckily my mom cooked something for me. -Be careful what you say about my brother.

He's a jackass, but he's my brother.

-If you-- -You crashed my car, you son of a bitch?

-Stop! -You crashed my car?

You get over here.

You go over there.

You go over here.

You go over here.

You go over there.

You two go over there.

You come here.

You go over there.

You stay here.

You go over there.

First of all, I want to thank you all for coming back.

Unfortunately...

you didn't get in.

I know it's hard for some of you.

Some have tried out for the team before.

We wish you the best of luck.

Thank you, guys.

Pay attention, guys. The coach will tell you

what you need to bring next time.

Listen. The club will only provide you with the training bib. Okay?

We'll give you a list of the things you must bring.

Did you run into Kiru?

Don't talk to me! Can't you see I'm playing?

But did you run into him or not?

No.

But everyone's saying he beat you up.

It's true.

I told you not to talk to me, you idiot!

I told you not to talk to me! Are you on his side?

Are you?

Answer me! Are you on his side?

Go kiss that jackass Kiru's ass!

He's a kid, dude.

That kid destroyed my car. He totaled it.

I had to work for it, man!

If we're talking about the same Hernán,

he's a kid, a little boy.

I don't give a fuck.

If I run into him again, I'll beat him up once more.

There you go.

-I'm the luckiest man alive, dude. -Damn.

I won four games.

-You got nothing on me. -Yea, but you still have to pay.

See you.

Later!

Come over here

And sing with me You'll find a friend in me

Together with Kiru Tevez

We'll win every single match

Come over here

And sing with me

You'll find a friend in me

-Together with-- -Hey, jackass!

What the hell do you want?

What are you doing?

Are you tough now, motherfucker?

Son of a bitch!

Kiru! Kiru, man!

Look at me, Kiru! Fuck! Stay with me!
