CELLBLOCK D

Oh, God.

You look beautiful.

Yeah, well, I feel like I've been run over by a truck.

No.

I mean, you're always... You are beautiful.

But today, you are especially...

What could be more important than the two of us, right? Hm?

We are both successful professionals.

We love each other.

You turn me on, babe, you know that? Huh?

Yes, I know.

I'd like to think that I have the same effect on you.

-Yes, of course. -Mm? No?

So what I'd like us to do

is to turn each other on a bit more every day.

-It's just... -Hm?

I've had a really rough day. Something happened.

-It was difficult, you know? -Yeah.

The judge ordered Cárdenas to be transferred.

-No, no, no. I don't care. -And he didn't even tell me.

I don't wanna talk about that. Come on, let's talk about us instead. Hm?

Listen, let's try something.

It's an exercise.

Mmm.

I'd like you to get any idea

that can take you away from the here and now

out of that beautiful head of yours.

I want you right here with me.

I don't wanna compete with that shitty case of yours.

I don't want it to come between us.

Are you here?

-Hm? -Yes. I'm here. I'm here.

You're not Joan of Arc, Roberta. Hm?

I didn't fall in love with Joan of Arc.

I fell in love with you.

The Mark of the Beast

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Morning, how's it going?

Yes.

Hey, how are you? Hi.

Hi. How are you doing?

-Morning, Roberta. -Hey, what's up?

This is the psych report for Remigio Cárdenas.

Well, we need to take it to the judge.

He'll add it to the file.

And then he'll close the case for good.

Can't I have an extra day?

No, no, no. No, no.

I did what I could.

I'm not Joan of Arc.

Neither are you.

Got a life, hm? I wanna live it well.

The judge can't see you without an appointment.

Good morning. We're here to see Judge Larraín. I'm D.A. Roberta Candia.

One moment, please.

Is the humiliation of coming to see him necessary?

He ignored me on the Cárdenas transfer.

Anyway, I really wanna see the judge's face

when I tell him the case is resolved and ready for trial.

The judge is busy at the moment. I'll let you know as soon as he's free.

All right. We'll wait.

The judge's not-so-subtle revenge.

The judge has to hear me out!

I need to see Remigio Cárdenas!

I went to the jail and they won't let me in.

The judge has a schedule. You need an appointment.

And I have a boy that's missing!

But Remigio Cárdenas knows. He must know where he is!

I'll call you as soon as the judge has a moment.

Excuse me. Ma'am?

Hello. I am, uh, D.A. Roberta Candia.

Prosecutor in the Cárdenas case.

I took Brian to the children's home because I had to visit my mom in Formosa.

I thought it would be better than leaving him alone in the streets.

And look what happened.

At the home, what did they say?

He's not here. They don't even have a record of him being there.

It's as if he was wiped off the face of the earth.

Hmm.

But the kids told me that Cárdenas has to know.

So I need to speak with him.

Yes, I understand.

But I'm not able to arrange a meeting for you.

There is one thing I can do, though.

I'll go talk to Cárdenas myself.

But don't you worry. I'm sure your son will come back.

He's not the only one.

What do you mean?

More are missing.

A while back another kid disappeared,

but because he has no family, no one looked for that child.

And yesterday, I heard about another boy from the other side of the station.

The other boys know about it, but they say nothing.

Hmm.

They're afraid.

Right. Well, we will do something.

The prosecutor is on the same lead as us

Let me give you an example.

Ana is an integral part of the structure.

Why on earth would you want to remove her from the board now?

No!

Absolutely no way. No.

You let yourself be manipulated--

What's happening to the kids, Emilio?

-I don't-- I don't know what you mean. -Yes, you do.

And I wanna know too.

Where are those kids?

What happened to them?

-I think there is a mistake-- -No.

Stop lying to me. The truth!

-I... -Leave this to me, Emilio.

Julio enjoys your full confidence, doesn't he?

Hm.

And so he enjoys mine as well.

We're going to tell him the whole truth.

-Elena. -Leave it to me.

There were cases of abuse

at the home.

Terrible thing.

It's very hard for me to admit it.

But there it is.

When the devil gets inside you,

you have to accept him because that is the only way

to get him to leave.

Remigio is the one responsible for all this horror.

Emilio found out, that's why he tried to kill him.

What are you saying?

I know it's hard to believe.

Remigio was the one abusing the children at the home.

And Tadeo?

He knew?

It's not clear how much he knew.

Nothing. Maybe some.

We don't really know if the devil possesses him as well.

Are you telling me that Tadeo...?

I'd like to think not.

But it's difficult to imagine

that during all this time, he didn't see anything.

In any case...

We've made an irrevocable decision together with Emilio.

As of tomorrow,

we will find the boys new places,

and we will close the home permanently.

Definitely, we'll shut down the home, yes.

And we will ask Tadeo to leave and go far away.

I do not want accusations laid against our church.

Do the three of us agree with this?

ATTORNEY GENERAL CALLING

Mr. Attorney General, how are you?

At this very moment, I'm working on the designs of your house in Cariló.

What do you mean, you're canceling? We're just about to--

Okay.

Okay. Um...

But can I at least ask why? What's your reason for canceling?

Excuse me, but I don't...

I really don't think this is a legitimate reason.

It has nothing to do with Roberta, does it?

Bye, you guys.

It is Christ who can best show us the way

when everything seems hopeless and we feel lost.

And how does Christ speak to us?

Through the Word of God.

And where do we find the Word of God?

In the Bible.

We need to speak to Jesus.

And we need to listen.

And so we say,

"Jesus, I believe in you."

Jesus, I believe in you.

You take care. See you next week.

Good morning, Pastor Elena.

Good morning.

-You're not a member here? -No.

Congregational? Parochial?

Congregational.

I go to a temple close to my home because of my cats.

-Uh-huh. -I don't like leaving them alone for long.

Oh, that's nice. God bless you.

But if it were up to me, I'd always come and listen to you.

I think you're the best at spreading God's Word.

Very kind of you. Thank you.

I'll see you.

It's not the only reason why I'm here.

You know, Elena...

Jesus wanted me to work in a place of listening.

A place of what?

I listen in on phone calls and transcribe what I hear. That's my work.

At the end of the day, I store everything in a folder and they come and pick it up.

And what are you trying to say?

Some time ago,

I was assigned to listen in on you and your family.

Don't worry, Elena. I know what you're talking about.

I know what you're protecting.

But I'm afraid others won't.

Some things I heard were private.

Things about the church, things that nobody else needs to know.

Christ would not approve of that.

Proverbs, 11:13.

"A gossip betrays a confidence,

but the man of trust--"

Or a woman of trust, because I should say both, man, woman.

"A man of trust keeps a secret."

The Word of God.

The Word of God.

Very well done.

Here's everything you or someone in your family said

that I chose not to report.

I kept it because I thought it might be useful to you.

Well, thank you very much.

Jesus will reward you.

Who do you work for?

I don't really know who's in charge.

Where I work, we're all employees.

Can't complain. I'm very well paid.

So I don't ask questions.

Sometimes it's best not to know.

I totally agree.

They made me sign a non-disclosure agreement,

but with you and the church involved, I just could not--

Listen, my lips are sealed. Don't you worry about me.

What did you say your name was?

Celeste.

Celeste.

Care to join me for a cup of tea? If you have time of course.

Where is Brian Aguirre?

His mother is desperately searching for him.

Where are all those kids?

Is this the reason why you tried to kill Pastor Emilio?

Cárdenas.

-The pastor found out? -He didn't find out.

I didn't do anything to those kids. Please don't ask me more.

But I do need to ask.

Because it's not just about the Badajoz murder.

There might be kids who are in danger.

I wasn't able to protect them all.

I would do what I could.

And after...

We had to heal them and take them to safety.

They convinced me

that the best thing for the church was to appease the devil.

Because the devil had taken possession of him.

And who did he go to?

-Tadeo Vázquez? -No.

Tadeo is a true man of God.

He could never.

I did it for him too.

The devil does harm.

My job was to reduce it as much as possible.

Whenever he came to the home with the devil in his eyes,

I had to notify.

And who is he?

-I didn't know Brian had a mother. -Yes. Yes.

Yes.

Yes, he has a mother, and she is desperately looking for him.

Sometimes we could disable him, sometimes not.

And it was up to me

to repair the damages.

Hmm.

And what kind of damage are we talking about?

No.

-Something like, uh, human trafficking? -No.

-No? -No.

-Organ trade? -No, no, no, no.

No trafficking, no organs, nothing like that.

-Okay. What then? -It's horrible. It's just horrible.

The most horrible thing. But I did it all for the church.

It was to prevent the church from suffering worse damage.

That's what they told me.

And I believed them, but they let me down.

But I was deceived

when the devil got tangled with an untouchable.

That's when I realized it was all a lie.

Because you can't let someone fool around with the Messiah.

The Messiah is Jesus Christ!

-Okay. Cárdenas. Listen. -He is Jesus, the Messiah!

Cárdenas! Cárdenas, let's get back to the point.

-Where is Brian Aguirre? -Listen, you have to be careful.

You're not a bad person.

But stop asking questions.

Because they'll do to you what they did to the nurse.

Which nurse?

The nurse was the only one who knew everything.

Now she's dead.

But I'll protect you.

No more questions, please.

For your safety.

Which nurse is dead?

But you can rest assured.

When the most precious thing we have is safe,

-I'll talk. -You have to talk now.

You have to talk now. We're running out of time.

God...

It's God who chose us.

He chose the Church of Light

to send His Son on Earth.

Do you understand?

Cárdenas.

Who is hurting these boys?

-Thanks. Have a nice day. -You too.

Thanks.

CABA FEDERAL PENITENTIARY COMPLEX

What's up?

Did you come to check the fixtures?

What?

No, I am just asking because very soon this palace will be home sweet home.

What are you talking about?

The attorney general called. I lost the house contract.

As well as the big contract after that.

And so now no more money coming into the house.

However, I'm still on the hook for the commitments I made.

You're gonna defend me when they start suing?

You're mixing things up. I'm simply doing my job.

No, listen to me, Roberta.

I don't know how else to tell you this.

It's what we talked about last night in bed.

We're back to square one. You're totally obsessed.

I am not obsessed. I'm not obsessed.

This is a case where children get hurt and then disappear without a trace.

And I will not stop until I find out the truth.

I'm sorry.

And now please take me with you. I'm running late.

What's happening to the kids around here?

All this time, have you been lying to me?

So it's true.

You knew and did nothing. Nothing!

You knew Remigio was messing with those kids.

It's not him, all right?

They said...

They told me that you, um...

Go on, Jonathan.

I'll tell Julio the whole truth.

It... It... It wasn't him.

It was the devil.

Don't fuck with me, Tadeo.

I'm not fucking with you.

It's a struggle that he...

Emilio has always had.

Even I... I remember

when he-- When he began...

to... t... t... to stare at me.

When I was Jonathan's age...

I... I could see it in his eyes.

But to me, he didn't do anything.

Elena?

Does she know?

I... I... I don't know.

She helped me when, uh...

When he was looking at me.

She gave me a room.

Separated from the rest.

And with a... a... a key.

Sh... She didn't tell me.

But in her own way,

she was telling me

to watch out for him.

And Remigio?

How deeply is he involved in this?

N... N... No.

Remigio, no.

Remigio's a soldier.

He always took care of the children as best he could.

Elena always wanted to shut down the place.

And I really thought...

I told Emilio that Jonathan had arrived.

That he was special.

A gifted child.

That since his arrival, everything had changed.

I thought...

Oh, I was stupid.

Which one of the boys is The Fish?

I'd like to know him.

I hesitated.

I had a bad feeling. Emilio never came to the home.

I asked Jonathan to come.

The moment he saw him, Emilio's gaze changed.

I saw the devil himself.

Emilio left immediately.

Jonathan!

Jonathan!

He is evil.

I think it was the same day

you came to him with the proposal to become vice president.

Emilio was convinced it was because of Jonathan and his gifts.

And why is everything only coming out just now?

We never let him get anywhere near Jonathan.

Remigio told me where to hide him in case he w... w... wasn't here.

But w... w... we didn't need to.

Because every time Emilio came around,

Jonathan disappeared.

And even we couldn't find him.

Maybe

he really did disappear.

He can do that.

You don't really believe the boy can work miracles?

I swear, Jonathan was sent by God.

Julio, d... d... don't try to use logic here.

There are things that c... c... can't be explained with logic.

Jonathan does miracles.

Emilio knew it.

His desire to possess him grew stronger.

Tadeo!

The night before the last rally, Emilio showed up at the home unannounced.

Where is The Fish?

I d... d... I don't know.

I think he went out.

Went out?

A young boy, at night?

-Calm down. -Out! Hey!

Emilio!

Emilio!

Remigio!

Remigio!

Go to the room, all right? And stay there until I come back.

-Take it easy. Remigio! -You're not gonna touch him.

Stop, Remigio. Stop!

-Stop, Remigio! -Not with the Messiah!

-Not with the Messiah! -Stop, Remigio, please.

Remigio, stop. Please.

-I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna kill you! -Remigio. Remigio.

Remigio. Remigio. Please.

Get him out of here!

I took him to his car and decided to drive him back.

I wanted to make sure he wouldn't come back.

Emilio was destroyed.

And gradually, he started to calm down.

Until he resigned himself and found peace.

Is it a sin to feel irrepressible love?

Is it a crime to long for someone so intensely

that the whole world disappears

as if the only thing that matters is to be with him?

And caress him.

Be inside him.

Because this is what I feel.

It is love.

It is love.

The world judges me according to its rules.

I surrender to the judgment,

because it's the world we live in.

I know I have to hold back.

I know it. I accept it.

But even so, I'll never admit that what I feel is wrong.

It cannot be wrong.

Love can never be a bad thing.

Christ...

teaches us about love.

And I...

I feel pure love.

Believe me, Tadeo.

I don't want to hurt anyone.

But I'm being asked to stop loving.

Very well.

I accept it.

These are the rules of the world.

The world is not prepared to understand this type of love.

So I ask myself...

If I follow the rules of the world,

do I reject God's design?

So the key question is...

Do I obey the world?

Or do I obey the will of God?

Because this love, Tadeo,

this great love

is an offering.

A gift

from God himself.

I thought the worst was over,

but the cost was too high.

You see,

I... I... I had no idea.

But Remigio knew.

And obviously, he d... d... didn't wanna take any new risks.

And he was aware of a lot more than I was.

He knew the full extent of the damage done.

He was convinced that someday

w... w... we wouldn't be able to stop him.

I suppose that's why he decided to kill him.

Then I c... c... could no longer communicate with Remigio.

Um, then there was the message you gave me.

I went to see him at the D.A.'s.

But it was Jonathan who told me in his own way what had happened.

And he showed me Brian.

And I understood why the devil

had left Emilio at the eve of the last rally of the campaign.

We... W... We hadn't been able to stop him.

He'd taken another boy.

The first one he found.

It was Brian.

JESUS IS MY SAVIOR

Remigio kept it.

Jonathan found it.

In it, there's a list of all the boys that have been hurt.

And also where Remigio relocated them.

For their protection.

So they can heal.

This is a list of all the victims.

This is evidence. You know what this means?

N... N... not really.

But you do.

The Lord knows to whom He gives each thing.

I'm only asking you to give me until tonight.

D... D... Don't do anything until Jonathan is out of danger, please.

Tonight they'll give me the documents, and then we'll leave.

You can count on me.

Elena! Are you going to replace me with Pablo?

People come to the temple to hear me.

Don't worry about it.

They'll get used to not seeing you anymore.

Oh, Jesus!

Jesus's love for us is so deep that

it is like a river after a day of fresh rain.

Did he say "fresh rain"?

Yes, he did.

We now have a new pastor.

There's no more room for you.

Wait, what? Are you gonna kick me out of my own church?

I did absolutely everything in my power to try to save you.

You know it.

I even asked Remigio

to find a place, a refuge for those boys you were hurting.

That cost the life of a wonderful nurse,

who knew about the meetings.

They ordered her killing. Do you know who they could be?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

-No idea, huh? -I have no idea.

Well, whoever it was knows about you.

You'd better watch yourself.

Brothers and sisters,

we must always remember Zechariah

because he asked the Lord for rain,

and rain came down over all the fields and each one of us.

-Pablo is not ready. -Brothers and sisters...

He doesn't have a wife. He doesn't--

I'll prepare him well, like I prepared you.

-You can't do this to me. -You're worried about how it'll look?

Don't you worry, I'll be in the picture.

But from now on, we'll do things separately.

I will handle the church.

You stick to politics.

...fast in his love because it is nourishment for the soul.

-Ah. -Being alienated from the life...

One last thing.

Would you mind very much sleeping in Tadeo's room from now on?

I doubt he'll ever return to this house.

I prefer warming up my own bed.

...the mind and the soul.

Let us pray. Let us pray.

Let us pray to Jesus, and Jesus will hear us

because Jesus is love.

Let us give praise to Christ, our Lord.

Praise be to Christ, our Lord!

All praise to Christ, our Lord, my friends.

Praise be to Christ, our Lord!

-Let me try this one. -You need these.

-You're good at this. -Do this.

-Hey, hey! -Let me go!

-Let me go! -What are you doing? Leave the boy! Hey!

-Leave him alone! What are you doing? -Back off.

I wanna help you, Brian.

You and your mamma.

But first, you've gotta help me.

I'm glad you found each other again.

She was looking for you.

And I found you.

You're both happy.

But I wanna be happy, too, and for that, I need to know what happened.

What did they do to you?

Who helped you?

We tied your mother up so tight that soon she won't feel her limbs.

See? She's crying because of you.

The Fish.

When the pastor was hurting us,

it was The Fish who'd come to help us.

All right.

Tell me everything.

From the start.

-Hey, Daddy. -Hi.

Sorry for the interruption, Emilio.

-If you were praying... -No, no, no.

-No. -It's all right.

Emilio, we wanted you to know that you have our full support.

-Mm-hm. -Okay?

In our eyes, you are the light of this church.

And you always will be.

Hm.

And we wanted you to know that you can count on us for anything.

-Dad. -Hm?

Pablo will totally destroy this church.

We can't let that happen.

It has me worried too.

I'll admit, politics has driven me away from the church.

We can help you reclaim the focus.

Whatever you need for the church or politics.

You need us to be there, we will be here.

If, for instance, you need someone for a hypothetical Ministry of Worship,

you can definitely count on us.

Whatever you want.

Hm.

I'm really very happy

that you two are meeting.

It is so heartwarming

to see two kindred spirits,

two really... harmonious souls. Hm?

But in order for you two to have a chance to speak alone, man to woman,

Mom will leave.

No, Elena, you don't have to.

But of course I do.

I'm a modern mother-in-law.

Mom, if you, uh, wanna stay a bit longer...

Don't be nervous, Pablo.

It'll be fine.

And I have things to do at the temple.

Well...

Have fun, you two.

NATIONAL CIVILIAN ETHICS

One thing that's not negotiable, the image quality has to be perfect.

Emilio has said many times he needs to feel like his people are right here.

Or else he's got no energy.

Listen, this is very important.

We cannot have a lethargic Emilio.

-No, of course not. -It's essential he feels very powerful.

-Okay? -Okay.

Yeah?

Okay, the feed from the stage is perfect from my angle.

How is it looking on your side?

The image will be better than this, right?

Yes, it will look better, don't worry. Yes, the image will look sharper.

We need to fine-tune a few things and it will look great.

But what I'm most concerned about is what people see from the outside.

You want to convey the sensation that everything is happening in one room,

as if there are no walls, but there is one.

Yes, there is a wall. A candidate got murdered.

They off this one, we're screwed.

Yes, of course, of course. I don't want to get involved in security matters,

that's none of my business, but the video--

Yeah, yeah, you have foreground and background.

You're an award-winning director. Come on.

It can't be that hard. Foreground, background, yeah?

Think about it.

You ace that, you might even get nominated for an Emmy.

You've got to stop everything.

Good morning, Julio. How are you doing? All's good?

This isn't the time for small talk. We need to stop everything.

Ah, come on.

Uh, what's going on? What are you...?

Emilio is a monster.

-What? -Drop him as a candidate.

No, but why are you saying that?

Ah, yes. Because of the kids?

You knew about it?

No, no, no, I only found out very recently. Why?

Okay, so what are you going to do about it?

It's all under control. I'm dealing with it. Relax.

Under control?

He's a child molester. Is that who you want as president?

We'll be watching closely.

He won't be able to get anywhere near a child.

Are you fucking kidding me?

-This guy could be the next president! -Hopefully, yes.

That's why we worked so hard for.

Very sorry to interrupt.

-Can I have a moment? -Yes.

-The automatic door is fully operational. -Mm-hm.

Once Emilio is in, nobody comes in or out till you give the order.

No, I shouldn't give the order.

The door closes when Emilio enters.

-When he leaves, you open it. -Okay.

I want no one to go in or out while he's in here.

Got it. Let me explain how the doors work.

When the light is green, the doors are open.

When it's red, the doors are locked.

Does it have to be red?

-We can change it if you prefer. -Yes. Hmm.

Yellow or... Yellow.

You pick.

Yellow it is.

I'm pulling out. I'm not going to be part of this.

Listen, Julio. Wait, just-- I'm trying to understand you.

Describe what you're feeling.

Moral outrage?

Power is immoral.

And considering where you come from, I'm surprised you didn't know that. Hm?

You can no longer count on me.

Why don't you relax?

Tomorrow, after the event,

I will do what I promised you.

Ana will be clean as a whistle, but you have to wait until tomorrow.

-What is this, extortion? -Yes, of course.

Tomorrow you can leave and go wherever you want.

If your conscience says Greek Islands, great.

But Japan is trendy right now. Your choice.

But tomorrow after the event.

And I want you here early.

Sorry. I see it's already up and running.

-Right? Now open it. -Yes.

Hey, Julio.

Over here.

Who is The Fish?

I'm on my way. Wait for me. We need to talk. It's urgent.

Where do you wanna celebrate? It's my treat.

What?

I am relieved of all my duties.

My parents signed everything. I never thought I'd see the day.

No, wait for me. I'm on my way.

-And don't go anywhere. -Okay. Love you, bye.

-Where are you? -I have the tickets.

In 30 minutes, I get the documents and we're leaving.

You have to leave now.

-Something happened? -They know about The Fish.

Uh, uh... What?

Look, Julio.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Aren't you happy?

With everything that's going on, you're not safe yet.

But don't worry, I think I have a solution.

But it changes our plans a bit.

I'm going to have to wait until after the announcement of the nomination.

Well, that's tomorrow. We don't have long to wait.

Ana, you have to leave now.

Before the event tomorrow.

I'll catch up with you later.

But why?

I have to file in a report

after the announcement,

and once I'm sure that all your documents are in order.

And I want you to be far away when I do so.

You're scaring me. What else happened?

Julio.

Ana, I hate...

I really hate to tell you this, but...

Your father...

Your father abused several boys at the home.

What are you saying?

-I wish it wasn't true, but it is. -How can you say that? Are you crazy?

-Ana. -I'm going.

-It's the truth. Listen to me. -No, no, no, no.

No, I'm going.

-Let me-- No. No. -Ana, please.

If I wasn't 100% sure, I wouldn't say that.

Let me go. Let me out.

-No. -I don't wanna listen to you!

-Ana, please. -Let me go!

I want out.

-Move! -Ana...

Shh. Calm down.

Hey.

Hey.

Calm-- Calm down.

Go on!

Stop right there.

Come here!

Tadeo!

Jonathan! No!
