A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS OF CARLOS TEVEZ'S LIFE

YEAR: 1983

It's too hot, leave me alone.

Come on, Trina, don't be aloof.

As a farewell gift.

Don't say "farewell."

I don't like it, shut up.

But I'll be back.

I'll get this baby all he deserves.

He'll have everything.

You know that, right?

Everything.

What he needs the most is a father.

Be careful, you moron.

No, my real father...

I didn't get to meet him.

That's something...

I don't think I've ever said it before. Maybe a few times.

I don't talk about that with anyone.

I didn't get to meet him,

I don't know much about his story, I don't know much about his family.

He was a guy who would go out of his way for his friends, for his family.

And I actually think...

I got that from him.

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

Where are you off to?

I'm going to the club. I'm starting rehabilitation.

What rehabilitation? The doctor said you have to wait. Go to your room.

Why?

I want to see my friends.

No, your dad said you couldn't.

And you're not allowed to be back when it's dark.

Mom, if I don't start rehabilitation, I won't be able to play.

Carlos. I said no!

Dad can pick me up from the bus stop later.

But you can't even walk! Don't be silly.

Talk to your dad later. Now you stay here.

What is he doing? I thought he wasn't working anymore.

Carlos.

-Carlos! -Leave me the fuck alone.

Your kid is really good. He has a bright future ahead of him.

Yes...

CIVIL REGISTRY DEATH CERTIFICATE

So that would be it?

That's his biological father's death certificate.

We need Carlos's birth certificate, signed by his biological mother.

Once we have that, he'll be a part of Boca.

How did you get it? I've been asking around and nothing.

-Anything can be obtained, Segundo. -Right.

You just need to knock on the right doors.

-How much is it? -Nothing.

No...

I just did it out of selfishness. I want the kids to win.

How is Carlos's leg doing?

No, he won't make it to the final.

No...

He must be heartbroken.

Take him to the matches anyway.

The kids are taught about team spirit,

about trusting each other.

It will be good for his teammates.

Yes, maybe.

-Yes, yes, maybe. -Right.

No, no, please.

No way, no. It's on me. It's the least I can do.

-I told you, I did it so the kids-- -Miguel, that's enough.

Fine, don't get mad.

-No... -Go ahead, you get this.

Waiter!

Is this okay?

You count it.

Thank you.

Stop, son.

-Please, stop-- -Yes, I killed her!

I did it!

It wasn't you. They killed her.

They made you do it, son.

Goal!

Fuck.

And now what?

What if they lose?

What's next?

If we lose, we don't win.

And if we don't win, we are not the champions.

Aim to the center of the goal!

Stop!

Stop.

Go!

-How much longer? -I won't make it to the final.

Your dad is making a mistake. He should listen to Gandhi.

Who are we playing against?

Either Liniers or Racing, depending on today's match.

Look, I hurt my knee pretty bad once.

Gandhi grabbed me and moved it around a bit.

I was playing again two weeks later. The doctor had said three months.

I hope we play against Liniers.

My best friend plays there.

And I will play.

I will do my rehabilitation with Gandhi, I will play and we will win.

Fuck, yes! That's the attitude!

Gandhi gave me this for you.

Thanks.

MALVINAS PARK 3:00 PM

Danilo!

Hello?

Hey!

How did you get in?

It was open.

What's up?

Nothing.

I haven't seen you for so long, so I thought I'd drop by.

Apparently, we'll meet at the final.

You beat Racing.

Yes. You lost, didn't you?

Yes, but we're in the final anyway.

We only need a tie to win.

Do you want to go play?

I can't.

And what about the final?

You are mocking me when you can't even play?

I'll try to make it.

Okay, let's go grab a beer.

No, I can't.

Why not?

I have to go home.

Then go, you can't do anything.

Who is it?

It's Chila!

What do you need? Why are you here?

Trina, soon Carlos will be able to play for Boca.

No, that's enough.

I'm not going to that shitty place again.

You have to wait for hours, they treat you like shit. No way.

If that's what you want, go.

Will you listen to me?

No, they think we're all stupid.

They asked for a million documents.

We don't need a million documents.

-We just need one. -What do you mean?

The father of a kid from Carlos's club is a lawyer

and he's helping us out.

What's this?

Cocona's death certificate.

Do you want a glass of water?

Yes.

I don't get it. Why do I want that document? Tell me.

And why are you looking through this stuff?

What did you tell Carlos?

With this document, plus Carlos's birth certificate,

he'll be officially a part of Boca.

And I'm not going through anything, okay?

If Carlos knows about Cocona, it's not because of me.

He's older now, he doesn't just follow orders.

Can you get that document?

I don't know where it is, I don't know what that document is.

I wasn't given anything.

Don't you keep your stuff somewhere?

Didn't you give this to me?

I don't know.

I don't remember.

Look.

-Look, we were so young. -Yeah.

-Remember? -Time flies.

Yeah.

Let me see.

Look at this picture. I took it, remember?

You were having contractions.

Leave.

Find that document for Carlos.

I asked you to leave, Chila.

THE BEST SANDWICHES

YEAR: 1984

Can you get me a beer?

No, come on. You can't drink like that.

It could hurt the baby.

But I'm thirsty, what do you want?

I don't know, drink water.

-I'll get the beer myself. -No, wait, wait.

Girl, tell Tiví that I'll fuck him up when I see him.

What did he say?

-He's after Tiví. -What did he do?

I don't know.

-So? How are the lovebirds doing? -Good morning.

I didn't think you'd be hanging out here anymore.

Listen, Fabiana says those two are after you.

Don't look at them.

Those two assholes?

I can fuck them up.

Who are you talking about, faggot?

Who are you talking about?

What's your problem?

I'll kill you, motherfucker!

-Stop. -it's okay.

No!

-What did you do? -Motherfucker!

Motherfucker!

Did that guy come to see the pickup?

Did you jack up the price?

He's so stingy.

Well, we need to wait.

For what?

We'll go broke.

Where's Carlos?

Sir, can you tell us the time?

It's 02:59.

This is Malvinas Park, right?

Yes.

See? It's still early.

He has to show up.

Maybe he won't.

That old codger will want money.

Why don't you meet in the club?

Will he help you or is he a bullshitter?

Right on time.

-Is he your brother? -No. Just a friend.

He plays for Liniers.

We are playing against Boca in the final.

If you help him, we'll play together.

We'll see who's best.

Shall we?

Alone.

-Okay. -See you around.

See you later.

-What are you going to do? -Relax.

This is what will keep you from playing the final.

Leave it on, so nobody suspects anything.

Here we go.

There you go.

Calm down, relax.

There you go.

Relax.

Breathe. Deep breaths. Deep breaths!

I'm going to count to three. Get ready.

One...

Come on, breathe, breathe!

Close your eyes.

If you close them, it will hurt less.

There you go.

You're angry, aren't you?

No. It just hurts like a bitch.

That's anger.

Pain causes anger. Always.

But pain is mental.

And this is like ballet dancing.

Go ahead, eat up your anger.

Keep it in. Keep it for when it's necessary.

Don't let the anger win. Tame it.

Close your eyes.

Feel the anger around your ankle.

Patience, time.

Don't be scared.

The pain will never go away.

It's a part of you, it's who you are.

You're the aggressive, the savage, the one who does a foul play.

Can you feel the pain in your ankle?

Let the anger kill the pain.

Nobody better than you to capitalize that pain.

You have it, you know where it is.

You were born with it.

Danilo.

Come here a second.

Why did you hit one of your teammates?

You could have injured him.

What's this?

That's the way I've always played.

No, Danilo, no. When you got here, you were quite rustic.

But I think we've taught you differently.

Besides...

what's this, "Cochi"?

-What is it? -The document you asked for.

No, that's not what I asked for.

I need your father's signature to be certified.

Or tell them to come and sign it here.

Whatever you prefer, but not this. This is ridiculous.

Okay, I'll tell them to come.

Leave it to me.

No, I'd rather tell them myself.

When can they come?

My dad works all day. He won't be able to come.

And my mom has to look after my siblings.

I have five siblings.

Five siblings? I thought you just had one older brother.

I mean... are you calling me a liar?

No.

I just want you to play here.

I didn't say that.

If you want me to play, I'll play.

But don't act like a cop.

-Excuse me? -Are you a pig now?

There's no one here, Mom.

Does nobody go to church anymore?

Only those of us who have faith.

Those of us who will be saved.

I will tell him I'm sorry. I'll ask him to forgive me.

-Ask who? -Look, it's Tony.

-But I want to-- -Enough!

Thank you.

Who is it?

Pinto.

Cholito is about to fulfill every kid's dream.

She'll meet Bati.

Hello. How you doing?

-Hello. -Hi.

There's this girl...

How are you, Hugo?

-How are you, Hugo? -China.

What's going on?

You're ten grams short in each package.

Must be the scale.

It must be.

Wait, stop. What are you going to do?

I'm calling Cochi.

I'll tell him to come next week, when I get a new scale.

We won't work with Cochi anymore.

We want you as a partner.

Are you keeping a kilo here?

Approximately.

But we want to keep it all.

Come with us and you'll get 20%.

It's not good enough. No.

It's not good enough.

You're not good enough.

-Here. -I'm not eating.

-Why? -I'm not hungry.

What are you doing?

What's that?

I told you, I'm playing the final.

What final? The ballet final?

The soccer final, Dad.

Look.

Did you meet with the old codger?

Did you meet with him?

What are you doing here? Go eat!

Look at that. Very nice.

You don't care about what I say. You don't listen.

That's great.

Nobody cares about what I say.

-Wait. -Fine. Great.

Honey, wait.

-Nobody cares. -Wait a second.

What happened, Mom?

He'll get over it.

He'll see that getting mad gets you nowhere.

We are all in a shitty position.

In Cliba, they said they will not be hiring until next year.

It's all bullshit.

When they hear you came out of jail...

they spit on you.

Bunch of fuckers.

We'll need to do something else, then.

The Lizard knows about a job.

He hasn't been delivering "faucets" lately.

What's up with the Lizard now?

It's an easy job.

A soda truck.

Apparently, they carry lots of money in it every Friday.

Cash.

Did you hear what happened with Pinto?

Yes.

He killed the Wolf, right?

He asked me to work with him.

And what are you going to do?

I don't know.

Everyone knows...

Cochi's business is over.

Pinto will end up losing here.

Cochi will be fine.

Cochi is now soft as butter, Dani.

I saw him.

I saw him myself.

And Pinto has balls.

Because he killed that old loser?

And his disabled brother.

You call that having balls?

He has no balls, I could have killed him if I wanted to.

Who's playing?

I don't know.

I think it's old.

What do you know about Dad?

About what?

Where is he, what is he up to?

Last thing I heard

is that he was taken to Ezeiza.

But that was about three years ago.

Braulio told me.

Why?

Do you miss him?

How could I miss him?

No way. I need him to sign something, a document for Liniers.

They're breaking my balls.

Otherwise, I won't be able to play there or in AFA.

I'll sign it.

I can forge the signature.

But can you forge the signature and talk to the coach?

No... that's too much.

If something goes wrong, I don't want to be involved.

If Dad saw you...

I remember the first time he gave me some.

I was your age, or less.

What a motherfucker.

I hope he's dead.

What are you doing with that gun? You're staying.

What?

-You're staying. -Are you insane or what?

-I want to shoot that fucker too. -Come on.

-Stay! Someone has to stay here! -Where is he?

-He's with the Russians. -Cochi!

What?

Be careful. He shoots in the back.

You know him.

And that bitch is even worse than him.

I know.

Hey!

Go play for a bit.

I got your birth certificate.

CIVIL REGISTRY BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Thank you.

Chila told me you hurt your leg.

Yes, when I was playing.

Here, I have a sprained ankle.

But a man from the club is helping me out.

And that's it? Now that you have that document.

You can play and I can watch you on TV?

No, but I need it if I'm going to try.

I'm in the minor leagues now.

Look.

-It's you. -Yeah.

And that's your old man.

The real one.

You look like him.

His skin was dark, like yours.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Were you pregnant with me?

Is it true he was killed in a bar

because he was trying to save my uncle's life?

It's true.

He was a good guy, you know?

Loyal, like you.

How would you know?

You don't even know me.

You think I don't know that?

You know what it's like to carry a baby like you for nine months?

You never forget.

-And so? -So what?

Why don't you come visit?

Sometimes I see you around and you don't even say hi.

That's why.

You remind me of him. I want you to be safe.

I don't get it.

I took your dad to that bar.

I don't know, I wanted a beer more than anything.

If he hadn't been there, he might be alive, I don't know.

Give me the picture back. It's mine.

Give it back.

Come here.

Guys, gather around, please.

This will be the starting lineup for Saturday.

Keep in mind this is a final.

Gabriel.

Pérez.

And Guzmán, on the left.

Lusich.

Ramiro, Jorge, midfielders.

Paniagua, on the left.

And the forwards will be Morete...

Ledesma...

and Danilo, okay? Let's do this.

-Yeah! Come on, Liniers! -Okay?

-Go, Liniers! -Let's do it!

Hello.

Carlos Martínez?

Yes.

I'm Gandhi's wife.

My husband won't be able to make it today.

He's not well.

He asked me to give you this.

Is he very ill?

Yes. Very ill.

YOU ARE READY!

Did you see how they left her?

Did you see her?

I'm with you, Cochi.

I have your back.

On what?

Killing these motherfuckers.

No.

No.

We'll mourn the right way.

You'll go to the club, play the final and win.

-But, Cochi, I-- -Nothing.

You'll do as I say.

One dead person is enough.

Understood?

You can bring the cup home and we'll bury her together.

Come on, guys!

Today is the day!

There's a reason why we got to the final.

Let's do this.

-Look who's here! -How's it going?

AWAY TEAM'S LOCKER ROOM

-Are you playing? -I don't know.

I just talked to the coach.

I might be on the bench.

I've been looking at your friend play,

the one from Fuerte Apache who plays for Liniers.

-He's good, isn't he? -Yeah, he's really good.

Be careful, though, goalie.

He always fakes a powerful shot and does a chip shot instead.

Listen...

did you hear what happened?

With Gandhi?

Yes, he's ill.

Yes, he was ill.

He died last night.

What do you mean he died?

I heard he was in the hospital for a couple of days.

I don't know much about it anyway.

How are we doing here, guys? Ready to be the champions?

-Yeah! That's it, here we go! -Let's go!

What's with the long face? Come on, cheer up!

Come on, Carlos. You're on the bench. Let's go.

-Come on, pass it. -Go, Boca!

Come on, Carlitos! Go, Carlos!

-Go, Boca! -Let's do it, guys!

-Come on! -Come on, let's win this!

Arévalo.

-Segundo, how are you? -How are you? Fine.

-There you go. -I'm glad Carlos is better.

Yeah, he's doing well.

I brought the paperwork.

Come on!

I think we should be fine.

Everything looks fine for now. We may not have any issues.

That's great.

-Good news. -Yes.

I'll go talk to the other parents.

-Today we celebrate. -Yeah.

Today we celebrate.

Continue.

Segundo!

-Hello there. -How are you?

I forgot to tell you,

they are expanding the club's cafeteria.

I thought maybe you could do it.

Carlos said your job situation is not great.

No...

Carlos said that?

Sometimes kids hear things... but...

Just let me know, okay?

Come on, guys!

We'll keep in touch!

Over here, number three! Here!

Here, play here.

Danilo!

Be calm.

Give it to Samuel and run.

Give it to Samuel and run, here!

Mark him!

Go after him!

Stop it. Good, good.

Good, Danilo!

Push it there!

-That's yours, Fernando! -To the side!

Hey!

He can't just do that, Fernando!

This is not going well.

HOME TEAM - AWAY TEAM

Good!

Good, Danilo!

Ask for it.

Won't he let Carlos play, honey?

I don't think so, Chila.

It's ending soon. I don't think so.

Exactly, why doesn't he bring him in?

The match is almost over, and Carlos is not ready to play.

Yes, he is.

I'm telling you, he's ready.

Come on, come on!

Hey. Bring me in, please.

What's going on?

Please, bring me in, you won't regret it. I swear it, I can play.

Okay, get ready.

Honey, Carlos is going in.

No, I don't--

Yes, he's going in!

Did the old man say you could play?

Run after him!

Substitution, ref!

-Come on, Carlos. Good. -Go, Carlos!

-Go, Carlos! -He's in! I told you!

Go!

Come on.

Go, Carlos!

-Pass it to me. -Yeah.

Yes, Carlos, go!

Good, Fernando, pass it!

-Goal! -Goal!

-Goal! -Goal!

Goal!

-Goal! -Goal!

-Goal! -Go!

Goal!

Well done, Carlos!

Well done!

Go, Boca, go, Boca!

Go, Boca, go, Boca!

Come on! Get your act together next time!

-Guys! Hey! -We can't lose like that, guys!

Relax, guys, it's over.

-That's it, it's over. -Come on, guys.

It's over, come on.

Come on.

Danilo.

Give me that.

No.

Come on, let's talk outside.

No. I'm going home, bye.

-Danilo, give me that. Danilo. -No. Bye.

Danilo!

Danilo!

Carlitos, Carlitos!

Go, champion, go!

Go, champion, go!
