Active agent evaluation by case officer TX156.

Agent active in Buenos Aires, Argentina,

following RAW plan for the region.

Agent number, NI38704-0.

Agent name, Rubén Osorio.

Born August 3rd, 1980 in Buenos Aires,

was recruited by the informal agent NI32651,

at the time his Law Ethics professor,

to infiltrate a rapidly growing left-wing university-based party.

The information provided by Rubén Osorio was extremely useful

in relation to the December 2001 riots.

Whoever has deposited dollars, will receive dollars.

Whoever has deposited pesos, will receive pesos.

In June 2003, he is assigned to the Central Bank of Argentina,

as a legal advisor,

from local subsidiaries to parent companies

before the government's planned blockade.

His performance is optimal and he is promoted to Level 4.

THE OSORIO FILE

Do you know how much I love you?

Yes, but it seems like the one needing reassurance is you.

I already photocopied the certificate.

We need to start working on it now.

Didn't you say wiping my slate clean was a matter of life and death?

-Yes. -Well, then.

-It's very urgent, yes. -So?

But just as urgent as the simple fact that I'm madly in love with you.

Did I ever tell you?

Yes, since the exorcism, I've heard that

215 times, if I'm not wrong.

It's just that I love you to bits.

Two-hundred sixteen.

If you love me so much, why don't you help me with all this?

These papers here are ready.

I just don't know how I can get removed

from the governing board of the foundation.

If something happens, my signature is right there,

next to my mom's and my dad's.

Well, we need to take care of that.

Yes.

I'll negotiate your removal with your old man.

You have something to bargain with?

Yeah.

I've got what it takes to negotiate.

There is always something.

Julio…

It's all right. Hey, trust me.

Today, I feel powerful.

Really?

-Okay. -I don't know what your father did to me,

but it worked.

Good morning.

I need to see Peg Leg.

Who's asking?

Tadeo Vázquez.

I called this morning on behalf of the Panther.

I brought everything.

Hey, the Panther.

By the way, I'm Peg Leg.

Huh.

-Uh… -No.

-Here are the photos. -No, no. Not here.

A… A… Anything else?

Good, as agreed.

Half now and the other half in a week, when I have the passports ready.

Uh… A whole week?

It's way too long.

I… I don't have that long. I need them sooner.

If you need them sooner, it'll cost you more.

I don't do miracles.

See?

I told you there's money missing.

I knew it. We're being robbed.

And who do you suspect?

Everyone.

How about Dad? Him too?

Hm. I should, right?

Not trust your father.

But for now, I'll cut him some slack.

His plate is already full.

Check up on the others.

-Let's see if we find a bigger surprise. -Sure.

-And get that money out of here. -Yeah.

We need to stash this somewhere else before they come back for more.

-Hurry up. -Yes, yes, Mom. On it.

Give me one of the… Give me one of those screws.

-It's gonna be useful. -But it goes right…

We'll see. It's been done before.

Yes. Yes, thanks.

This is great stuff.

With an S? Are you sure?

Thanks. I owe you one.

-Yes, it's a parody. -Really?

-Yeah. -Sorry.

But this is urgent.

This man drove Judge Larraín to the raid in his own car.

And he's not the chauffeur. I saw him when I got the camera.

And his face looked familiar.

I spotted him in a video of Badajoz's murder.

He's one of the first to assist him.

From what I can gather, they trust him.

But his role in the party is not clear.

This man works in the shadows.

I even had trouble finding his name. Rubén Osorio.

Secret Service.

The guy must be an agent.

If they're involved, they're interested in the case.

Very interested.

Watch out, kid.

From now on, we all have to be careful.

In July 2008,

he is asked to join a recently formed think tank

sponsored by the main private banks

with the aim of devising new ways of approaching politics in Argentina.

This is where he meets businessman Armando Badajoz,

with whom he establishes a close and trusting relationship.

Fifty-two years old, successful real estate developer.

Current president of the National Entrepreneurs Association.

Ambitious.

Strong leadership skills.

Excellent image.

Our first goal is to position you in such a way,

that after the next elections,

you'll become a national senator for the city of Buenos Aires.

National senator?

It's the fast track to oblivion.

But it's our job to make sure you don't sink into oblivion.

Either we need to join a small party or we buy an existing one.

The money is there.

Excuse me. May I offer an opinion?

To me, joining an existing party or buying one off

are not the best options.

Let's form a new party. Even if it takes time.

This race is all about endurance, not speed.

Armando Badajoz doesn't come with baggage.

I totally agree with you.

I don't belong to a political party.

And so, we could say I'm indebted to no one.

Which in this country is quite rare.

Yes, but many say you lack political experience.

Well, but it's political experience that led to the situation we're in now.

Our agent became Armando Badajoz's confidant,

a key piece for the creation of his party,

and for the subsequent success

in the senate elections for the city of Buenos Aires.

BADAJOZ WINS IN BUENOS AIRES

Christ, my Lord,

I know these are all signs.

First, the death of our dear sister Laureana.

A death so unfair, it cannot be in vain.

Then, the raid.

The fear we felt seeing them disturb what belongs to us.

And now, the theft.

Who was it, oh Lord?

Was it the same man

who sent me the photo?

Was it the same man who has killed Laureana?

Christ, my guide,

shine your light

so I can see

who this evil creature is who so wishes to harm us.

Who is the agent of Lucifer

determined to cause so much pain?

In you I trust,

and to you, I surrender myself.

Emilio. I've been looking for you.

There's, uh, no point in avoiding talking about how Ana and I feel--

No, there is no point.

But if you want me to keep working for you, Emilio,

I need Ana to feel at ease.

-Uh-huh. -If she's upset, I can't go on.

And so?

I need to ask you something.

That you let Ana withdraw from the board of your foundation.

-You mean the church's? -Yes.

Did she ask you this?

She's asked you, Emilio, many times.

And I don't know why you don't do it.

You can't force your daughter to be part of this church.

It upsets her a lot. It's a kind of blackmail.

But I am your ally.

Yours and hers.

Don't look for an enemy where there is none.

You know I love you both very much.

Well, prove it to us, then.

Remove her from the board and record it in the minutes.

For our peace of mind. Both Ana and I really need it.

If she feels free, maybe

she won't feel the need to leave.

She has to feel that she's here by choice, not because she's a prisoner.

All right.

Yes.

Yes, maybe you have a point.

It's the only way I can keep working with you, Emilio.

Is that a threat?

Of course not, but…

To do my job well, it's important that Ana feels happy.

Serene.

Mm.

Give me a few days.

I need to prepare documents, speak to the notary,

set up a meeting…

…and convince Elena.

Convince her?

Listen, let's set a date

so this doesn't wind up being an empty promise.

How about it?

Let's say

the day before you announce your candidacy.

On that day, you'll show me the minutes of the foundation

stating Ana is no longer a member.

And I'm still with you.

If not?

I'm leaving, Emilio.

But don't take this personally. It's…

It's what I need to be able to stay by your side.

I need Ana to be free.

Emilio, I'm giving you a good reason to do what you have to.

To do what I have to.

Love can do anything.

Your love for her,

my love for you both and for Christ.

Love first and foremost.

-Do I have your word? -You have my word, yes.

No later than the day before the announcement.

But I'm not just releasing Ana.

I'm also setting you free.

And then you'll decide if you stay or not.

Did either of you lose this thing?

-Hm? -No.

Can't you assume tighter control of your employees?

Listen, we're all doing the best we can.

I understand the urgency,

but the press is watching our every move.

We really can't afford any mistakes.

Make a mistake?

You have the murderer. And he pleaded guilty.

What else does that woman need to close the case?

I can assure you, in 48 hours, the case will be closed.

And Cárdenas sent away for many years.

Do it, then. And get back to me when it's done.

In September 2015, Osorio was sent to the United States

to observe the Tea Party and Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

Studying information management on social networks,

Osorio learns how to impose Badajoz.

Information management is key.

There is information we can handle the usual way,

but it is not enough with the journalists on our payroll.

Today,

people use social networks to get their daily news.

They wake up in the morning, pick up their phone,

watch a video their aunt sent them

or one uploaded to some group chat.

But those videos

can originate from anywhere.

We must select them and send them ourselves.

They have to be customized.

To a Jewish community group, we send a video

where the candidate does not lay a wreath of flowers

during a Holocaust remembering ceremony.

A group of pro-life militants.

We target them with ambiguous statements in favor of abortion.

Each user

is a world unto itself.

A vote to be controlled.

That said…

How do we reach these people?

With an army.

But not an army in a conventional sense.

An army of perfectly ordinary people.

Sitting at home,

in front of their computer, nothing fancy,

or a simple smartphone.

And those…

are our soldiers.

In addition, Osorio was one of the first in the country

to notice the strong advance of religion early in the new millennium.

He focused his attention on the evangelical churches of Latin America,

especially in Argentina.

He was provided with all the necessary information.

In the map drawn from his analysis

the Church of Light emerged clearly as the strongest and fastest-growing,

and Pastor Emilio as a charismatic leader

that any political party would envy.

But most importantly, his followers were devoted.

They did what he told them to do.

Let's praise him…

If they donated 10% of their salaries to the church,

how could they not vote for whoever the pastor told them to?

Ah, let's see.

Oh, yes.

Look at me.

You're looking good.

Look at you now.

You are so handsome.

You're most elegant. Huh?

Your father's never been an elegant man.

Come on, one last effort, hm?

Now we'll work on your voice.

All right, Pablo, imagine a crowd. The audience.

Imagine their eyes. People everywhere.

And address them. Speak from the heart.

Come on.

Mom, I…

Impossible imagining people when there's nobody in here.

Well, make an effort, Pablo. Try.

Look up to the sky. Come on.

Feel the light.

Let it wash over you.

Embrace it.

Embrace the light.

Feel the power.

Mom, no. No, I'm not good at this.

It's not for me.

-I'd rather do something else. -Pablo.

-Listen. -I can stand at the entrance, help with…

This is your place.

Trust me.

Your father wasn't good either, but he learned. I taught him.

And I'll teach you too.

You'll become our pastor, Pablo. Show Mommy what you can do.

-Yeah. Yes. -Come on.

Eyes to the sky.

Let it flow through you.

From the heart.

My…

dear friends.

Dear friends.

Dear friends, when you talk to Jesus, it's like talking to any other friend.

Because Jesus is our friend.

The best friend of all.

Well done.

Well done, my boy. Well done.

One last time, sweetheart. Come on, come on, come on.

Dear friends.

LUKE 6:20

"If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies,

the defender is not guilty of bloodshed."

Ana.

Wake up, Ana.

-I need to talk to you. -What's going on?

-Shh. -What is it?

Is something wrong with Julio?

D… D… Do you know anything about the money

that's hidden in the temple?

You woke me up for that?

D… Do you know or not?

Ugh, Tadeo, I'm so sick of dealing with everybody's garbage.

Ana.

I help them sort out the bills down in the basement.

After that, my job is done.

And then it's over to Pablo.

And I don't wanna know what he does with it or where he takes it.

To the temple.

I don't wanna know anything about the money.

I don't care where it is, who is using it, or why they're using it.

But you know,

and you're responsible for it.

What are you doing here?

Tadeo.

You know what time it is?

I… I… Is…

Is it all a big lie?

This church?

The Word of God?

Christ?

Your love?

What… W… W…

What is the truth and what's a lie to you?

It's all a big lie.

Tadeo!

Good day.

-May I go in? -Yes, but he's finishing up a meeting.

-It works for us. -Very good.

-This is it. We all agree, right? -Absolutely.

You won't regret it.

What happened? Julio, I thought we were going to meet here.

You're over an hour late.

No, the meeting was at one o'clock.

No, it was at noon.

Didn't my assistant tell you about the time change? Strange.

It's settled anyway. Don't worry about it.

They were all very reasonable, and we came to an agreement.

And Osorio here was the perfect master of ceremony.

But I still would've liked to have been present.

Me too. We waited for you for a good 15 minutes.

But don't worry. Will you join us for lunch?

We're all headed to the restaurant now.

I'll join you in a bit. I have documents to sign.

Sure, no problem.

Why do you wanna cut me out, huh?

Because you're a hazard.

A hazard? How so?

You want a list?

Number one,

I don't know what you want.

Is it a job, money, or power?

In fact,

I think you don't even know what you want.

Two, don't know what you want, don't know what to ask for.

And so it becomes very difficult to reach an agreement.

Three, you lied to me.

I asked you about Cárdenas, you said you didn't know anything.

I asked you about Elena, still don't know anything.

You lied to me, shamelessly.

Four,

back to number one.

Is it money, a job, power?

Or are you just a sad, rich kid?

You wanna play who gets the ax, Rubén?

Right, then.

No Emilio, no candidate.

I hold the key to Emilio.

Do you really believe

that because you tricked him into coming to a meeting early and without me,

you've got control?

Tsk. I walk out of here and I tell him to drop everything,

and Emilio will drop everything.

Oh, Julio!

Julio.

Have you studied every player involved in this game?

And I thought…

that you were truly in love.

-And what's prompting this comment? -Ana.

Imagine if the police find out about the money she's managing.

She's clean. I made sure of it.

With the church's books, yes.

How about Interpol?

You think she can cross the border, no problem?

Nowadays, countries share all kinds of information,

things like offshore accounts, money transfers…

You have just to press a button, and beep.

You're a piece of shit.

No.

I'm a born negotiator.

So let's negotiate a truce,

and I guarantee Ana will be safe here, there, middle of the Sahara,

and I'll leave her clean.

Pure.

This war is in nobody's interest.

Let's call a truce.

Even better.

A new alliance.

Hm?

Osorio chose Julio Zambrano Clamens,

the pastor's right-hand man, as the bridge to Pastor Emilio.

He had investigated him years before,

when he used his conviction for instigation to suicide

to destroy his father's candidacy and favor Badajoz.

GREAT TRIUMPH OF BADAJOZ

All I need is for you to listen to me.

It can be very beneficial for all parties involved.

We do have guaranteed votes, that's for sure,

but I can't give them to you without compensation.

And we don't need more money. So…

What else do you have to offer?

To you or Emilio?

-Ah. -Ask and you shall receive.

It's a good opportunity for the Church of Light to grow.

What are the risks?

I don't think it's that risky.

The only risk I see is that…

Later, after we give them enough votes to win,

they don't fulfill their promises.

Uh-huh.

And how can we manage that?

By asking them to offer you a dominant position in the party.

You should be a candidate.

What do you have in mind?

How do you like to be Argentina's next vice president?

Despite slight deviations,

agent Rubén Osorio continues to duly comply with the guidelines given to him.

As to whether he may have occasionally stepped beyond what was specified,

he has, in all cases, acted within acceptable limits.

And the results obtained have been more than satisfactory.

We recommend leaving him in his current position,

and reevaluate in three months.

If he fulfills his objective,

we propose promoting him

and considering him a key player for the coming years.

CHURCH OF THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT

What do we need to do when we feel distraught?

We must turn to the Bible.

Such is the wisdom of God,

that in the Psalms, he offers words of comfort for the afflicted.

"I look to my right,

and see no one is concerned for me."

"And so I cry to you, oh Lord,

and I say,

'You are my refuge,

my solace in the land of the living.'"

Bye, dear.

Have a good day. See you next time.

-Go on in. -Thank you.

Where is the suspect Remigio Cárdenas?

They took him away.

What do you mean?

Who took him? Who gave the order?

The judge, of course.

Why wasn't I notified?

I don't know.

Jesus, I don't believe this.

Sign here, ma'am. That copy is for you.

It's been two months since I heard from Brian.

Like I told you, he was at the Home for Children run by the Church of Light.

Yes, you told me. Sign here.

I took him there because I had to leave the city to take care of my mother.

When I came back, I went looking for him, and they told me he'd run away.

He was gone, and no one knew anything.

People had told me that it's not the first time a child disappears from that place.

I want my son back. Please look for my son.

-Please. I'm so worried about him. -We'll do everything we can.

Meanwhile, go home. Chances are he'll come back on his own.

Go.

ARGENTINE FEDERAL POLICE MISSING PERSON REPORT

NAME: BRIAN - PLACE OF BIRTH: BUENOS AIRES NATIONALITY: ARGENTINE

-Maya. -How are you doing?

-It's for Osorio. It's urgent. -Okay.

What is it?

Here, this is for you.

Thank you.

Fucking hell, they won't give me a break.

Another kid, Julio.

I don't know what's going on, but it's about the kids.

The Home for Children of the Church of Light.

Organ trafficking, human trafficking,

smugglers, drug mules.

I'm not sure what it is.

But I'm sure it's about the kids.
