A NETFLIX SERIES

PRODUCED BY K&S FILMS

I totally understand you.

When I found out, I thought,

"I understand the guy now."

Because in an ideal world, I also would have wanted to kill Emilio.

But this isn't an ideal world, Cárdenas.

This is the world of the possible.

And in this kind of world, at this stage of the game,

I'm well aware that the only thing I can do

is keep in check our pastor's basic instincts.

Hm? So he can be president of the Republic.

But I can't do it alone.

I need you to help me.

I need you to confess.

But not just about Badajoz.

I need you to confess

that every reported case of abuse of children in the home

was committed by you.

That way, we can let Emilio off the hook should anything ever surface.

There have been no reports yet,

but one never knows in this day and age.

It's bound to come to light, sooner or later.

And of course,

you have to say the one you wanted dead was Emilio.

Because he caught you and was going to report it.

Case closed.

You're crazy.

Me?

Maybe.

Regardless, this is what I need you to do.

For everybody's sake.

What do you say?

May I?

Stubborn as a mule, huh, Cárdenas?

Here's your Fish.

Hope they didn't rough him up too much.

I wanna speak to him.

Sure.

-Are you okay? Are you hurt? -We're fine.

You don't need to w... w... worry about us.

D... D... Don't do anything that can put you at risk.

And Jonathan?

He was with me when they caught me.

But he was well treated.

But really,

don't worry about us

If they let you go, can you leave now?

All your stuff's in order?

Yes. Don't worry.

We both have our priorities.

I can honor mine.

Can you honor yours?

I can.

You have to write down what I tell you.

Has to be in your handwriting to avoid any problems.

Here.

You know how to write?

When you show me Tadeo and the boy getting on the bus to where they wanna go.

Write and sign.

I don't have time. I'll take care of that later.

And I have all the time in the world.

I won't write anything until they're free.

PRESS BUTTON FOR YOUR TICKET

FOR THE GOOD OF THE REPUBLIC

Send me a message as soon as you're on board.

And that will be the tenth message I send you.

First one, as soon as I've checked my suitcase,

then on the escalator,

when I reach Customs, when I get to the gate...

Yes, you can text me all you want.

But I won't stop worrying until I know you're on board.

Okay.

As soon as I know you've boarded that plane, I'll file the report.

Well...

Julio, I-- I just-- This isn't a goodbye, is it?

You'll come soon, like you promised?

As soon as possible.

I've already promised. I'm promising again.

What's important now is that you're in a safe place.

Look.

This is the notebook in which Remigio logged everything.

Every child he took away from the home.

It will take me a few days.

A week at most, but I swear to you

we'll be together again very soon.

Okay? Before your tummy starts to show.

Okay.

Ciao.

-Safe trip. -Thanks.

There's no way out.

With the disappearance of Brian and his mother,

we don't have any witnesses.

It's heartbreaking to know that there are kids in danger

and there's nothing we can do about it.

Unless there's something I overlooked.

No, don't think so.

We have this missing person's report that was filed at the police station

but nothing else to build on.

It's a dead end. We have no new witnesses, or complaints.

And we're also running out of time.

Unless...

-I play one last card. -Hm?

Try to convince Cárdenas to declare out loud what he said in my ear.

FEDERAL PENITENTIARY SERVICE

Thank you.

-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.

I'm D.A. Roberta Candia.

I need to see a detainee named Remigio Cárdenas, please.

It's urgent.

At this time, no, it's not possible.

I said it's urgent.

It can't be another time. I have to see him now.

Yes, but he's currently undergoing some routine medical test.

-So it can't be now. -Right.

Shouldn't take too long then. I'll wait.

Good news.

We've done our part.

We're leaving, Remigio.

It's all good.

Ready?

Here. Write.

"I..."

comma,

"Remigio Cárdenas,"

comma,

"confess to whom it may concern,

that in the city of Buenos Aires,"

comma...

He's all yours.

What's going on?

-Come on, we gotta move! -What's happening?

What's going on?

I demand to see Remigio Cárdenas!

This is an emergency, ma'am, and I cannot let you in.

-The protocol-- -Fuck your protocol!

I want to know what's going on.

Oh, no!

Get him down!

-Get him down! -He's dead, ma'am.

Hello.

-Enjoy the presentation. -Thank you.

García Mistral.

-This way. -García Mistral?

There you are.

-Thank you. -Can you hold this?

Thank you.

These are ready, right?

-Oh, hi, sweetheart. Come on in. -Hi.

-Please, may I? -Come on in.

How are you?

Are you excited?

-Yeah. -This way. You can set up here.

You can leave it right there.

-Magdalena's almost done, right? -Yes.

Very well. See?

She already looks great.

Make her even more gorgeous. Hm?

I'll be totally honest.

To me, this whole thing about the presentation

of the ethical presidential of I-don't-know-what

means absolutely nothing.

But we've decided to stand by Emilio,

and if we show him support, we will shine, hm?

Magdalena, you look beautiful. Let Cece sit now.

What's your name? I didn't get what Mom just said.

I'm Celeste, hi.

No, no, no. They just did my makeup, sorry.

Stand up, Magdalena. Give the place to Pablo's girlfriend.

-Work your magic. -Of course.

Such a lovely face.

-What are you doing? -Huh?

You'll mess up your hair.

They'll have to redo it.

It's a waste of money with you anyway.

Oscar!

Oh, here.

Oscar!

Hey, honeybunch. What's wrong?

What is it? What's all the fuss about?

Did you know Pablo has a girlfriend?

No.

Well, he does.

She's here, and Mom is treating her like she's the darn Queen of England.

-That's strange. -It's very strange.

Maybe she's an escort.

They hired her to make him look a little less different.

Now that Pablo wants to be pastor,

it's not enough to be, he must look the part.

Mm, she didn't look like an escort.

But I didn't like her much.

Why don't you ask Pablo about his new girlfriend?

In this family, we're the only ones in a conventional relationship.

-Mm-hm. -I don't like competition.

It's okay like that. Not too much or it will look funny.

So your girlfriend, she likes your sideburns?

You mean Celeste?

You kept it a secret, you sneak.

-It's very recent. -Hm.

Yeah, I get it.

And is it serious?

You intend to take it further?

Or is it a one-off just so you're not alone at the party?

If that's the case, I understand. Being alone at the party is no fun.

Well, now, you know, Pablo, you gotta be careful

because being in a relationship headed for Shitville is asking for trouble.

Um...

Can I tell you a secret?

Sure. Of course you can.

Because you know I don't...

I don't have many friends.

-Mm-hm. -And, uh...

I mean, I find it difficult to talk about certain things, you know...

-Yeah, sure. -Uh...

-Yes. -Because I, uh...

I don't know, I...

Pablo, relax, okay? We're brothers.

You can talk to me.

-I'm in love, Oscar. -Hm.

I hardly know her, and I'm smitten.

Hm.

Your departure's at gate 17.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Hey, my love, just checked my bags. Um...

I'll let you know once I'm through Customs.

But it might take a while. I've been told there's a crowd.

That's why I didn't answer your call. I knew it was urgent,

but I was in the middle of an emergency.

And now, for sure this will be all over the media.

The report from the penitentiary will say it was suicide,

but it was no suicide, sir.

Cárdenas was murdered. I'm sure of it.

You've been transferred to another office.

If you haven't yet received the notification, it won't be long.

I want you to vacate your office today.

May I know the reason?

The case is solved.

And the transfer's been signed.

It's best for everyone. The case exceeded your...

preparation.

It was too much for a young D.A.

You'll be able to gain experience in a lower-profile district.

I hope your new assignment goes better than this one.

What about my team?

Also been transferred.

Not to your new office.

We've spread them around.

See it as a fresh start.

It will be good for you.

You see?

You're much too sensitive for this job.

No, sir, you've got it all wrong.

You've got it all wrong.

I'm not being sensitive.

I'm furious.

And powerless.

Have a nice day.

And all of this is for the good of the republic,

blah, blah, blah.

Hey, how's the sound?

It's perfect.

Uh, just a few minor adjustments, and then we can let people in.

Julio. The pastor was asking for you.

Thanks. I'll go see him.

The immigration line is hell, It'll be a while, text you when I'm done.

Okay.

I am nervous.

Very good.

Looks fine.

Dear voters...

No.

Not "dear voters."

Dear citizens, we are very...

Not right either.

Dear comrades...

No. Not "comrades."

That's for Communists.

Good day, Rubén. How are things out there? Everything ready?

In the room, yes,

but there's still a few outstanding issues I'd like to settle with you first.

Sure, go ahead.

In private.

Uh, will you excuse me a moment?

-Yes, what is it? -Here's your speech.

It'll be good to read it a few times to make it sound fluid.

Do you have a pen?

Neither the speech nor the cabinet you'll announce is subject to change.

Tell me, how's the case going?

Is it closed like you promised?

I told you I'd deal with it.

And I did.

I thought we'd agreed that all these cabinet posts go to my people.

Let me see if we have any room for yours.

Emilio, I don't think you understand.

Your commitment is not only to me.

I'm a nobody.

Your commitment is to those who lead the country, that's immutable.

I shielded you.

But if you're not loyal,

the shield vanishes.

I can reveal that you're a pedophile right now. I still have the evidence.

The one who doesn't understand is you, Rubén.

Denounce me. Go ahead.

All the microphones are on and fully functioning.

And the press is downstairs. Go ahead.

You'll have to find a replacement first.

Rebuild the party.

And I think after two or three elections, if you're lucky,

you can clean house and get back on the ballot.

Is Julio Clamens here yet?

Yes. I just asked and was told he's in the room.

-Should I call him? -No. Knowing he's here is enough for me.

Finance and Homeland are ours.

Education, Health, Foreign Relations, and Worship are mine.

It's non-negotiable.

Defense is mine.

I'll keep Culture.

That's how a lot of bullshit gets shoved into people's heads.

You left me Transport and Labor?

Yes, it's not a question of randomly removing your people.

Only in the key areas.

Those where we, with Jesus and His good Word, can make a difference.

You crossed out my Chief of Staff, but didn't put in yours.

I'll keep this one for myself.

I'll announce it in due time.

I like a bit of suspense.

You're gonna screw this up, aren't you?

You're playing with fire.

Don't worry.

You'll like him.

D... D... Do you want water?

Sure.

Hey! Hey!

Stop the bus. Pull over.

Open the door.

Come on, open the door.

Come on. Open the door. Come on.

NCE - NATIONAL CITIZEN ETHICS

-Uh, wait. -Hm?

I like to meet people before going in.

-I really like the contact. -That's not possible.

Everything is closed to restrict access

to anyone who has not been officially invited to the event.

Emilio.

After Badajoz, we won't let you get near the audience,

nor will you be able to approach the barriers.

No, I'm not thinking of either of these options.

God bless.

God bless you.

God bless.

God bless you.

Listen to your heart.

God bless you.

God bless you.

Listen to your heart.

Blessings to you, my dear friends. God bless you.

God bless you.

I didn't want to begin this event without first and foremost

thanking you all from the bottom of my heart

for the immense support I have received

when I announced my candidacy,

for our country's presidency,

a venture which

will surely be a success.

Oh, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior,

bless this man, hear his prayer,

and heal his spirit so that he may once again find comfort and joy.

God bless you, my brother.

God bless you.

Blessings to you all, my friends.

Jesus showers us with blessings.

God bless you.

-God bless you, Pastor. -Thank you very much.

All right. Now we can go.

-Hello. -Yes, hello. This is Julio Clamens.

I need to speak to D.A. Candia. It's urgent.

I have evidence that could be essential to the case she's investigating.

We've all been taken off the case actually.

They've dismantled our office.

-What? -I can ask the new D.A. to call you.

No. No, no, no, no. No.

It has to be her. She knows about the case.

The evidence I have is conclusive.

The victims are children.

And I know where to find them so they can testify.

I have to go now.

But it's important you contact D.A. Candia

and tell her that she needs to meet with me without delay.

I'll call you back later.

No, it's okay.

Come with me.

The most powerful people in Argentina.

Here to cheer you on.

Don't let them down.

Thank you.

For a few years, we'll need to be invisible.

No one can find out about us.

What you did on the bus was fine.

It was necessary.

But from now on, Jonathan,

you can't do any of these things.

Nothing to attract attention.

We'll hide your powers for a while,

and depend solely on our own resources.

A... All right?

Jonathan.

Ladies and gentlemen,

in a few moments, we will present our presidential team

who we believe will lead us to victory in Argentina's upcoming elections

Did you get through immigration?

I present to you, Emilio Vázquez Pena

and Elías Pérez Den.

I would like to acknowledge the presence of senior representatives

Ramón Ignacio,

Laura de la Costa, Amanda Lorenzo, and Marco Pereyra Lucena...

You get through immigration? Well?

...our party's executive president...

You seem a little tense, Julio.

Relax.

What's that? What you got there? Packing heat?

...president of the Ethical Christian Association...

-Hmm. -...Mrs. Maria Suarez Ortega,

president of the Women's Association...

Ooh!

-How awful. -...Ernesto Perez, president...

Just killed himself just now. Check it out.

...poor and disenfranchised...

How very unfortunate.

Mysterious suicide of the murderer of Badajoz.

In a few minutes, it'll be everywhere. We need to warn your boss.

...Mrs. Maria Delgado, president...

I see you're moved by the news.

...the Christian Youth Group,

the association Evangelists United, the Pro-Life...

...Political and Economical Alliance,

the Association of Evangelical Churches of the New Hope,

the League for a United Country.

These organizations have all pledged their support

to our leader Emilio Vázquez Pena,

and stand behind his commitment to put an end to corruption

and to fight for freedom and the promotion of private enterprise.

Also expressing support...

...is Mrs. Emilia Ortiz Diaz, president of the Christian Mothers...

Hey, check your phone.

...of Pastor Emilio Vásquez Pena.

Next, please.

NATIONAL POLICE

Permit for the minor to leave the country?

He's my son.

His birth certificate, then?

If the mother is alive, you also need her permission.

Don't worry.

Your son will be fine.

Bless you.

Bless you.

Next, please.

And now, what are we gonna do?

Spread the Word of Jesus Christ.

And read the Gospel to those who wanna hear it.

But in remote places, villages.

Where no one from our former life can find us.

Dark times are coming, r... right?

Yes, very dark.

PLURINATIONAL STATE OF BOLIVIA SAFE TRAVELS!

And now, please welcome

the future president of all Argentinians,

Pastor

Emilio Vázquez Pena!

NCE, NATIONAL CITIZEN ETHICS

Brothers and sisters...

Allow me to use those specific words

for all of you.

For the believers,

and for those who don't believe.

Because in my flock, every single sheep is welcome.

Brothers and sisters, if we are to embark on this path together,

it is to make Argentina better.

Of that, I have no doubt.

But first, however,

I have to share some sad news.

Because when someone takes his own life,

it is inevitably the saddest of news.

The life that God gave us is sacred.

But there are some who stray from the path.

Such is the case of Remigio Cárdenas,

the man who killed

our beloved Armando Badajoz.

As I'm sure many of you know, because it's public knowledge,

Remigio Cárdenas

did not want to kill Armando.

He wanted to take my life!

I was the object of his hunt.

The blade of his knife

suddenly swerved from its deadly path at the very last second.

Glory to Jesus!

Glory to Jesus.

-Glory to Jesus! -Glory to Jesus!

What many of you do not know, because it is not public knowledge,

is the reason why Remigio Cárdenas actually wanted to kill me.

It pains me

to the very core

of my Christian spirit, body, and soul

to declare that besides being a murderer,

Remigio Cárdenas repeatedly abused young orphans...

...at the children's home...

...that depends on the support of the church.

I discovered it.

I was going to denounce him,

and that is the reason why he wanted to kill me.

Pure genius. From necessity to virtue.

-Brilliant. -The truth has been revealed.

It was difficult for me

during these dark days of silence,

but I found in Jesus

a strong and invaluable ally

to help me endure this ordeal.

-Glory to Jesus! -Glory to Jesus!

Glory to Jesus!

-Glory to Jesus! -Glory to Jesus!

Let us pray for Remigio Cárdenas

who expressed repentance for his sins just before his death.

-May he rest in peace. Amen. -Amen.

I am truly convinced,

because Jesus himself convinced me with his Word,

that Argentina must return to its fundamental values.

Family values,

love and respect,

and moral order.

As Solomon asked God in Chronicles,

I ask the same.

I ask that you grant me the intelligence.

That you grant me the wisdom.

Lord, grant me the humility

to guide this nation.

For no one but you can be a better guide.

Your people are the greatest of all.

-God bless you all. -God bless.

-Amen. -God bless.

Jesus showers us with his blessings.

-God bless. -God bless.

Jesus is our Lord.

And now I will name those who will join me in the cabinet,

should we be chosen to lead this blessed country and guide it forward.

-Yes? -Department of Education...

Great. Put her on the screen.

Department of Health, Brother Pedro Villegas.

Look who's here.

Arts and Culture, Brother David Escalada.

-Department... -Tell them to open the door.

Impossible, you know I can't do that.

-I said, tell them to open the door! -Hey, hey.

Keep it down. You wanna ruin Emilio's speech?

Department of Defense, Retired General Jorge Gastucci.

Department of Economy...

You touch Anna and you're a dead man.

There's no way I'd touch her.

She is the future president's daughter.

-It was a mix-up. -Brother Daniel Diaz.

International warrant for money laundering.

But she's safe, for now. Don't worry.

-...Department of the Interior... -I will kill you.

If it's the last thing I do, I swear I will kill you.

And now, for the conclusion...

The person who will be my right-hand man...

If you behave, I won't do anything crazy.

Ana will be perfectly safe.

My Chief of Staff, Julio Clamens!

Let me out.

My son.

Brothers and sisters, Argentina faces two main issues

that require urgent attention.

The first is our justice system.

Justice in this country seeks primarily to guarantee the rights of the criminal.

Can you reproach a father who chooses to carry a gun

to defend his family?

Justice, brothers and sisters, has to work for the workers.

But the workers are not only those who produce things with their hands.

They're also the businessmen,

the entrepreneurs who invest their money

and contribute to enriching our great country.

Justice is not justice

if it threatens the righteous and protects the sinners.

Oh.

And the second problem we face are the false prophets.

And be careful!

Because false prophets exist in both religion and politics.

They are the ones responsible for the incessant failures of our country.

There's no telling how much damage they cause our beloved Argentina

when they claim in their speeches that people who do well in life

should be ashamed.

This country does not need more poverty.

It needs more successful people so that the wealth and abundance

trickle down on those who have not been so blessed.

Those prophets are liars.

Success in life is proof of the love that God has for each and every one of us.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness..."

Brothers and sisters, I don't want prophets of hate and failure.

I don't want them to keep profiting from the poor.

I don't want private property to be denigrated.

But above all, I don't want any more hatred and resentment.

It is against all of those things that I will fight.

And I will make it happen.

God bless!

God bless!

-God bless! -God bless!

God bless!

God bless you all, my brothers.

Blessings, sisters!

Yes, everything is good. Well, almost.

A few minor glitches at the last minute,

but they're an easy fix and they'll be handled very shortly.

We should be glad. It wasn't easy, but everything worked out wonderfully.

Jesus showers us with his blessings.

God bless you all!

Jesus is our savior!

Bless you. Bless you all.

-Blessings! -God bless you!

God bless.

God bless Pena!

God bless Pena!

God bless Pena!

God bless Pena!

God bless Pena!

God bless Pena!

God bless Pena!
