THREE YEARS EARLIER

[gasps]

[heartbeat monitor]

[suspense music playing]

Javi? Javi?

Go get some help. Get some help!

Come here, come here.

Oh, honey. Help!

I've gone through such a long journey

so we can live in your Grace.

Bring him back, so he can continue his work

here on Earth, my Lord.

Make him live, steal him from doom...

Put him on the bed.

[suspense music intensifies]

Connect the monitor.

Esteban, get out.

I said out!

Another dose.

...his body and expel it with your infinite power.

We're here, Javi.

Lord, please spare him.

- Help my dad. - Please let him live.

Javi, calm down honey.

Take away the evil from his body.

We're here, Javi.

Help us, save my dad!

...your infinite grace so that he may be with you in Heaven.

Bring him back, please!

Leave him be.

Leave him be.

Lord, our heavenly Father.

THE ENVOYS

I'm sorry.

I really am.

It makes no sense.

Why confessing if he could just vanish?

- Or maybe he's being forced. - I knew about it.

- About what? - About everything.

Everything he said on the video is true.

He didn't have confidence, he didn't have faith.

In what?

He didn't believe in himself, in his talent,

his gift, being the wonderful man he was.

And it was my fault...

No, don't say that.

Don't say that.

No.

[piano music playing]

It was about Javier, my husband.

Rafael could never forgive himself.

But it wasn't his fault.

It was mine...

Because I could've taken much better care of him,

I could've been with him much longer,

I could've been a much better doctor...

Don't say that.

[crying]

Adriana...

Now he's gone.

And so is Rafael.

I'm sorry.

Esteban is all I have left.

Calm down.

[piano music playing]

HIDALGO MEDICAL CLINIC

Did you happen to talk to your partner?

No.

When? Why are you asking?

I mean, didn't you call him?

No, he must be still on the plane, Father.

He never boarded the plane.

What?

He stole my colleague's car

and it turned up dumped at a gas station.

He must be here, in San Acacio.

Your colleague? That hitman?

The one who beat me and locked us up

and threatened me with a gun?

Is that your colleague?

He didn't mean to, Father. He was looking for the cassette.

Oh, that's great.

Why were you looking for it?

To continue hiding deaths like Valentina's?

Do you still have doubts?

You saw that yourself.

We just saved a woman's life.

Yes, but at what cost, Father?

What is the exchange rate?

A woman for two children?

You lied to me.

You have talked with your partner.

Well, is it true or not, Father?

Two children died under your practice, Monsignor.

No. No one died.

What about Valentina?

You are a doctor, Father.

Imagine that a patient has a cancer that needs

extreme measures to be taken urgently,

and the patient dies during chemotherapy.

What did kill them, Father?

Cancer or the treatment?

So, two children did die.

No children died, damn it.

They say anything to harm us, and I will not allow that.

I'd like to show you something,

so you can understand the value of our duty.

Inside there is a battle that we have not been able to win.

We've been struggling for 40 years.

You can tell me, Father,

if someone is better off having been released

from such a sorrow.

[suspense music playing]

We stopped changing the lightbulbs,

she'd constantly break them.

Beatriz?

May we have a word?

[suspense music playing]

If we get to know where the video comes from,

we could perfectly locate Quintana.

And how do you do that?

Lend me your phone.

My assistant on the Vatican could do it, Emilia.

Come on.

Damn it.

It's off.

[exhales]

You haven't eaten.

Shall we go to my house?

OK.

Would you like me to begin, Father?

No, it's fine.

Hello, Beatriz.

Do you know where you are?

Do you know why are you here?

[screaming]

Always stay behind the line, Father.

Always.

Beatriz...

Do you have a family?

Beatriz is the Captain's mother.

You drew a picture of me...

[suspense music playing]

God.

Did you tell her about my drawings?

Do you want to see me

go get your mother and drag her like a dog

so you can draw her too!

Back off, demon!

Back off.

Silence!

Show yourself, coward!

[screaming]

Hail Mary, full of grace...

I command you in the name of Almighty God

- to reveal yourself. - Do you want to have sex?

Or do you prefer a man, Pedro?

Don't listen to her, Father.

Whatever is inside her, it feeds from fear.

If it sees fear, it will use it against you.

- Father. - Yes?

- Focus. - Right.

[laughter]

The first step for an exorcism

is to know what we are fighting against.

And whatever is inside Beatriz

doesn't want to introduce itself.

It's not Lilith,

nor Beelzebub, nor Azazel nor Satan.

It's none of the demons we know on books.

What is it, then?

That's what we've been trying to find out for several decades.

[suspense music playing]

Feel at home, Father.

Have a seat.

Esteban?

Esteban?

Esteban?

I guess we are alone.

Yes.

- If you want... - Do you want...

Do you want something to drink?

Sure.

I'll help out in the kitchen.

Yeah, sure.

But you don't have to.

[suspense music playing]

What are you thinking about, Metzi?

How could a woman be in such condition for so long?

The evil is restless.

I don't understand what you want from me.

I don't have any training in exorcism,

I can't do nothing to change this situation.

You didn't have your absences just because,

what you have is a gift.

You were shown a path, the rules of one game.

But there are other paths

and other rules that were written a long time ago.

What your absences speak to you is what you must listen.

I don't have those, Badi.

They went away a long time ago.

You can learn how to listen again

and get loose.

Look, honey.

This will help you.

What is it, Badi?

Medicine.

All you have to do is let yourself loose.

Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you.

You can make a difference, Pedro,

and save so many people from suffering.

Trust me.

[suspense music playing]

That's it.

Good job, honey.

How was it?

Lit.

You need some more light?

No, the meal was lit.

It was great, I just wanted to adapt to the culture.

Oh.

That it was lit, it was cool...

- Oh, I get it. - It was great.

Oh, OK.

- I'm glad. - It was...

I haven't prepared these in a long time.

My son doesn't like it, and my husband...

Well, you know what happened to my husband.

[exhales]

Father, what impression am I making to you?

Rafael is missing, Helena is...

And I'm here cooking you

my husband's favorite enchiladas.

I honestly don't know what this means.

Well, it means we're hungry, right?

What does Rafael know?

It's so hard to live here in San Acacio.

So much madness, so much death...

If I didn't have Esteban with me, I'd be crazy.

Sometimes I kind of think I am.

Don't say that, woman...

[suspense music playing]

[piano music playing]

[piano music playing]

I'm sorry, Father...

I'm sorry.

[exhales]

[piano music playing]

[heavy breathing]

[heavy breathing]

That was not OK.

I'm sorry.

No, you're forgiven.

[exhales]

Your vows...

The vows...

Like any promise,

you realize too late that you've broken them.

It's never too late.

It wasn't a mistake either.

[phone ringing]

It's Esteban, he's not coming home tonight.

At least he still cares enough to let me know.

You can sleep in his room if you'd like to.

No...

It's too dangerous to stay in a hotel.

I think it's more dangerous to stay here.

Right...

[heavy breathing]

[suspense music playing]

I think maybe someone could've forced Quintana

to record that video, and that person is following us.

I told you it's not that.

That video doesn't make any sense.

Quintana didn't trust his talent.

Well, it's just a hypothesis.

A crazy one, but someone could've forced him.

Who? Benavent? Prado?

Benavent, Prado, Molina, Rios...

Any of them, I don't know.

If we could find Quintana's phone,

maybe we could find out who it was...

- Someone is coming. - What?

Someone is coming. It's Molina, don't look.

Start the car, come on!

- Open the fucking door, now! - Come on!

Let's go!

Open it!

[mumbling]

Father, are you OK?

[suspense music playing]

Pedro...

Why don't you hear me anymore?

[crying]

[suspense music playing]

[suspense music intensifies]

Father.

Help me, Father.

Pedro!

Here, come on.

[suspense music playing]

Calm down, Pedro.

You saved me.

You will save me.

You will save everyone.

Come here.

[suspense music intensifies]

[screaming]

I can't wait to go

to the stars.

I'm walking very slowly

on the sideway.

[mumbling]

[screaming]

You are OK, Metzi.

Everything is OK.

[coughing]

Here.

You were like this for a day and a half, but you're alright.

What did you see?

I wouldn't know where to begin.

I thought it was time for you to wake up.

Everything OK?

Yes.

Do you feel different?

Well...

Sure, different.

I don't know if I am what you're looking for.

Lord's timing is perfect, Father.

Quintana's gift manifested with Valentina's death.

I'm sure the Lord will find the perfect time

for your gift to be revealed.

I'd like you to join me to Mexico City,

I'm part of the committee to receive the Holy Father.

I want you to meet a couple of people,

so that you understand

the true dimension of our mission.

They brought your things from the hotel.

Take a bath and get dressed.

You come find me once you're ready.

[phone ringing]

UNKNOWN NUMBER

Hello?

What is your problem with cellphones, man?

I've been trying to reach you and there's no use.

Oh, Simon...

We'll need more than a couple of hours

to let you know everything I've seen.

Are you OK? Something happened?

Nothing.

Well, it's hard to explain, but I'm fine.

- Everything is fine. - Pedro, listen to me carefully.

I need you to get away from those lunatics,

they tried to kill me.

I'm convinced the information comes from above.

People in the Vatican approve of these solutions.

They tried to kill you? Who? How?

They tried, and I had to run away with Adriana.

Listen to me, please.

They don't want the information about the dead children

to come out before the papal visit.

It's no good for them.

They have the captain working for them.

They're after us. That's why I called.

- Pedro? - Yes, I'm here.

It's just...

It's odd, I've been with them for quite a while now

and I don't think they're the kind of people that...

I'm telling you they are.

Will you believe in those lunatics over me?

Where are you?

In Esteban's house, in Mexico City.

Can I trust you, yes or no?

Sure.

[rock music playing]

Hey, hey. Can I have...

Sure.

[rock music playing]

Who?

What is it, Father? You don't like me anymore?

How are you doing?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Have a seat, please.

What are you doing here?

I'm escaping and protecting you, 2x1 on the tourist agency.

Emilia!

And how did you find me?

You called me 200 times from the phone of a woman

- named Adriana Cortes. - Yes, yes.

Having the number, I can find you anywhere.

You can't escape from me.

I don't know if I'm surprised

about what I see or where I see it.

I've been thinking for two days

that I'm in the wrong profession.

- I was worried. - What happened?

No, I was worried about you.

Well, about me too, I won't lie.

And about Salinas and a lot of people

that I'll introduce you later.

That village, Emilia...

In that village you have plenty of reasons

to feel worried about.

Well, you tell me first.

What are you doing here?

[suspense music playing]

Everything alright, Father?

Yes.

I'm worried about my partner.

Did he communicate with you?

I don't know what plans you have for him.

What plans could we have, Father?

I don't have any plans.

I hope so.

Please, Father.

Do you think that with everything we have to do

we are going to go around killing people?

No.

Then you don't kill priests for lack of time.

What a relief.

You don't know me, Father.

But you've known Badi since you were a child.

Do you think she's capable of hurting a priest?

We just want to talk to him,

so he can understand that our work

is crucial to San Acacio.

Just as you could see.

And about you...

We've done nothing but taking care of you.

Haven't we?

Right.

Do you know where he is, Father?

No.

You do.

[exhales]

Tell me, so I can send someone to pick him up.

I'd be pleased to have a word with him.

I can imagine you do.

But with all due respect, Monsignor,

I think that you haven't earned my trust yet.

Then let me earn it.

Isabela Católica 566, Alamos colony.

I know that area very well, Father.

It's very pretty.

There must be some record of all those dead children.

We need proof that they entered the orphanage

and never came out again.

Do you have their names?

Yes, Geronimo gave me their names.

That's easy to get, right? You are good at that.

But this is not according the plan we had.

What plan?

You becoming a Pope so I can be a Bishop.

- Please... - This is not politics.

No, this is very politic.

Emilia, look, that's the only way

to overthrow people like Benavent, like Vilaró,

so we can take those places and make a real change.

Emilia trust me, I know about politics.

No, it's fine.

I don't know anything about politics,

but I do know what is living in fear.

Anywhere in the world, even when I'm far from home

like here in Mexico,

someone could come over and shoot me in the head.

I know, I know.

I know how to run away from a mafia,

- I know how to live in hiding. - Yes.

I know how to regret having wanted to fight for justice.

I also know many things that you don't.

So, are you going to help me or...?

Of course I will.

But when you're against a mafia, you can't go head on.

The rules are different, just listen to me.

I will listen to you only, Monsignor.

"Monsignorita." Oh!

- "Monsignorita." - That's it.

Monsignor, if you don't mind,

I would like to visit my parents while we are in town.

It's been a long time since I've seen them.

Go ahead, Father. Don't worry about it.

- Just don't take long. - I won't.

Once you're back, you can find me in the Cathedral.

Remember, I want to introduce you to two people.

I won't be late, don't worry.

Go ahead and go, I can do it myself.

- Don't worry about it. - Have a good day.

I'll see you later, thank you.

[suspense music playing]

[steps echoing]

Father.

Would you like some coffee?

Please.

Good morning.

How was your night on that horrible sofa?

It wasn't that bad.

There was some space on the bed.

I think the best thing to do is to return to San Acacio.

You can't go back to San Acacio, they're looking for you.

No, I won't. You return.

I really appreciate you letting me sleep here.

But I don't think it's OK for us to be together.

Why?

It could be dangerous.

[piano music playing]

[exhales]

Let's do this.

You go back to San Acacio, talk to Molina and Rios

and you tell them I made you come here.

I'll be in the Vatican then.

I don't want to pass on my problems to you.

It's not your problems...

whatever happens, they're our problems.

[piano music playing]

[exhales]

[piano music playing]

This is a real problem for me.

Right, I understand.

Go talk to him, OK?

Hi, God bless you.

I come from the Santo Niño de Atocha in San Acacio.

I'm looking for the records of the children we've housed

so we can send them their baptism certificate.

We can't give out that information.

But you should have it.

Oh, yes, of course.

With the earthquake a lot of information was misplaced.

It was God's action, He might has His own reasons.

We never judge His strategies,

even when sometimes we can't understand them.

It was a request from the Monsignor Eufemio Benavent,

the Bishop will be receiving the documents.

Well, I can ask him to talk with your superiors,

he'll surely make things quick.

What was your name?

[suspense music playing]

[suspense music playing]

What the hell is your problem, bastard?

[heavy breathing]

You were right.

Yes, I'm on my way.

Goodbye, Father.

Are you OK?

[piano music playing]

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE FOR THE VISIT OF THE HOLY FATHER

MEXICO CITY

[suspense music playing]

[suspense music intensifies]

Excuse me, Your Eminence.

What are you doing here?

You'd better talk to me right now

if you don't want to make a fuss the size of this palace.

Follow me.

[suspense music playing]

What do you think you're doing?

Listen to me, Your Eminence, we don't have much time.

I have documents proving the transfer of two children

to the San Acacio orphanage.

Birth certificates of children who never left that place.

They were not adopted,

they were not transferred to another institution.

There are no death certificates.

They just disappeared.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Those documents are saved, I have digital copies and all.

They are ready for release

in case something happens to Father Antequera.

A great welcoming present for the Holy Father.

Are you threatening me?

Obviously.

[steps echoing]

[police siren]

It was not enough sending the Captain,

they sent four hitmen for me.

Four.

You said that Emilia is talking with Vilaró?

Right.

She's doing everything possible to help us.

And to report them also.

Yes. Sure.

To whom?

What is it?

Nothing.

- What is it? - Nothing.

Exorcisms are...

Exorcisms are real, Simon.

I saw them.

- For God's sake. But... - No, come on.

Don't start with this nonsense, Pablo.

I think you know me enough to trust in my judgment, right?

You don't know what I've seen.

And you don't know what I'm seeing right now.

Have you told anyone?

- Did you say something? - No.

Then he followed you.

[suspense music playing]

Shit, he's coming up. Come on, let's go.

[heavy breathing]

What the hell are you doing?

You won't be able to cover up what they did.

I'm not here to hurt you!

I'm here to protect you, you dumbass!

Benavent sent his hitmen to kill you.

Where is Antequera?

No!

[suspense music playing]

This way.

Stop everything, immediately.

- What happened? - There's no time to explain.

- Stop everything. - Yes, sir.

I need support to Torres Modern, number 24.

R-10.

[phone ringing]

Monsignor?

Are you sure?

Let him go.

Let him go.

Let's go.

You killer!

[suspense music playing]

An ambulance! We need to call an ambulance.

Come on, one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

[heavy breathing]

One, two, three, four, five, six...

Stay with me, Father.

Stay with me, will you?

Stay with me.

[piano music playing]

One, two...

Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, I put my trust in you.

Sacred Heart of Jesus...

Stay with me, Father.

Stay with me.

Stay with me...

[crying]

Jesus Christ, who resuscitated on the third day,

bring him the gift of life.

Jesus Christ, who resuscitated on the third day,

- bring him the gift of life... - Father.

He's already...

[heavy breathing]

[laughter]

[heavy breathing]

[piano music playing]

Hey, do you feel any better?

I'm so lucky you're a doctor, Pedro.

If I ended up with an engineer of a partner,

I wouldn't be here now.

I don't know if the medic in him saved you.

What?

Of course he was saved for medical reasons.

Why else it would be?

The plan worked, Sister. Barely.

You were almost late, but it worked.

Thank God it worked.

Thanks to you, not God.

He seemed pretty pleased seeing me dead.

Excuse me.

They asked me to give you this back.

Thanks, officer.

They're so kind.

Thank them for me.

[phone ringing]

What is it?

Do you remember the Quintana video?

- Yes. - The one he sent Adriana?

He sent it to her at 11:52 PM.

He sent it to me at the same time.

What's wrong with that?

If Benavent and his people had my phone,

I don't know why would they send me the message too,

because they had my phone.

Perhaps so that you wouldn't suspect them.

He's online.

What? Call him, call him.

[suspense music playing]

Esteban?

[suspense music playing]

Esteban?

INCOMING CALL FATHER ANTEQUERA

Son, you scared me.
