[tense music playing]

[Emilio] Elena, there is a plan.

You know there's a plan.

A divine plan.

Jesus has a plan for each and every one of us.

I asked him, in prayer,

why he made me go through what I went through.

And I don't mean what's happening now in the country,

the crisis, or the government.

I mean,

that trial, that ordeal.

That crucial test.

That is past history.

But we must absolutely talk about the past if we wanna fix the present.

We must understand why

Jesus had to make me go through such a difficult experience.

Why the voracious love?

The love of youth, Elena?

That was part of his plan.

Just like Remigio, Badajoz,

the assassination during the campaign.

You're part of the plan, too,

with the flag you draped around my shoulders.

All you do, day after day, it's also part of his plan.

Everything is part of his plan.

But I don't understand

this voracious love.

I looked for the answers where you taught me to look.

In God's word.

The book of Hebrews,

when talking about Jesus, this is what the Gospel says,

"We do not have a high priest

who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses,

but we do have one

who has been tempted in every way and yet, he did not sin."

He was tempted but did not sin.

Jesus was tempted, but he did not sin.

And I...

did not sin

because that was part of God's plan.

He wanted to prepare me for copulation with God.

And when I say copulation,

I'm talking about a blessed union.

Complete.

Not something sexual.

Something utterly divine, spiritual

so that the one sent by God would enter my body,

and I would enter his in a blessed union.

And that's why we must talk about Jonathan.

No matter what the obstacles, I have to get Jonathan to come back to me.

It is my mission, Elena.

Towards our people, towards our Church,

and towards God.

Do you see it as clearly as I do?

I am trying.

Trust me.

Just let go of the ghosts of the past and trust me.

[pensive music playing]

I knew it.

[chuckles softly]

I knew it.

May God bless you.

[kisses]

[theme music playing]

THE KINGDOM II

[theme music fades]

Okay, Mario. Okay, okay.

If they loaded your Italian coffee maker on the moving van by mistake,

when I find it, I'll put it in a cab and send it home, okay?

Uh, to your house, okay?

[motorcycle engine hums]

All right. Don't worry. I'm not planning on keeping anything of yours.

All right.

Yeah, sure. Ciao. Bye.

[motorcycle engine revs]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[tense music playing]

[exclaims, grunts]

[groans]

[man] Sh, sh. Be good, Candia. Stay quiet, huh?

[moans]

[motorcycle retreats]

[panting]

[Roberta sighs]

- [man] Roberta? - Yes.

[man] When you're done with that contract, look at the collateral for this one.

Uh, Lagarrién, remember I asked you for the day off 'cause I'm moving?

You told me to come for a couple of hours 'cause there were two contracts due.

- Sorry, but I need this one too. - Yeah, this too.

- Soon as you're done, you can go. - All right. Okay, sure.

[footsteps retreating]

[door opens]

- [sighs] - [phone ringing]

Hey there, Ramiro. How's it going?

Good. And you?

[Roberta] Good. Everything's fine.

That's great. Well, the guys are all done here.

Place isn't exactly clean and tidy, but I gotta go to work.

That's okay, right?

Yeah, yeah, go to work. You don't wanna be late.

DAs can be very shitty,

and they look at you like everything's okay,

and then they stab you in the back.

- I know all about it. - If you say so. I'd better get going.

[pensive music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

[Elena sighs]

Are you okay?

[Elena sighs]

I was up all night praying.

I can imagine.

I... I don't wanna put more pressure on you, but look.

ATTACK ON THE CHURCH OF LIGHT'S HEADQUARTERS

- We need to stifle this. - [sighs]

Nobody will wanna worship in a bombed-out church.

I can't believe Emilio couldn't stop this.

[sighs] Tell me something, Celeste.

You believe that God has a plan for each and every one of us, right?

Yes, absolutely.

And do you think, in that plan,

there might be challenges that we don't like

or that we find very difficult,

even if it's about protecting a chosen one?

Who are you referring to, Elena?

[sighs]

Never mind.

[breathes deeply]

Someone has to go to, uh, the church in Palermo

and find out what's going on there with the new pastor.

- Do you want me to come with you? - No, I need you to go with Pablo.

I've got a lot of fires to put out here.

[clicking]

[boy] Try it now.

[engine sputtering]

[Pedro] So, how long have you been on the road with these guys?

[boy] A couple of weeks.

Their truck broke down

a couple of miles away from Santa Catalina.

While I was fixing it, I got to know them.

But I had already heard about them.

[grunts, groans]

A few rumors, stuff people said about them, you know?

I'd even seen a couple of videos.

[tool thuds]

- Never really paid attention... - [clicking]

...until I met them.

And then they started kind of bonding with everyone.

And... and it was amazing.

They were listening. They always knew what to say.

It was like they had some kind of radar.

What are you looking for?

[Tadeo sighs] Something. A clue.

- What for? - Did you see the way they looked at us?

Did you notice the look in their eyes?

What you look for is in the people.

Lend them your ear, and you'll find the answer.

The engine won't start.

I need to go to Captain Gálvez and get the spare part.

- You're not leaving today. - Hey, what's the rush?

- Aren't we treating you right? - That's not it.

We left the country a few years back. We returned some weeks ago.

If someone's looking for us, it's best they don't find us.

[Pedro] Who's looking for you? The police?

No. No, but we were in danger.

I'm going.

And if my thumb's lucky, I'll be back soon.

I'll drive you. I still have the council's truck.

They're taking it back tomorrow. I'll be leaving too.

They have appointed a new head teacher. I was a substitute.

You think what happened to Thiago had something to do with it?

It probably did because Yaelí also got fired from the dispensary.

Come on. I'll drive you. I'm not too good at goodbyes.

The president isn't coming?

I reminded him this morning, but he didn't reply.

The president isn't here, but I am.

[Elena clears throat]

- Good morning. - [all] Good morning.

[Elena] Very well. Let's see.

The impact of the press

reporting on the bomb that exploded in my church.

It made the news despite the president asking you to keep it quiet.

I suppose you've considered the repercussions.

Yes, we did, of course.

But we didn't mention it because it was a minor event.

"Minor"?

Until you realize that what happens to the Church also happens to the government,

and vice versa, we are utterly lost.

Now being lost and losing are two things I find abhorrent.

Is that clear?

Much better.

We must work together and understand each other

for the country

and for the president's Church.

[man] In the graph, you have the projection we make

of the decline of the president's public image.

Disastrous.

The bombing of the church didn't stir up sympathy?

No one cared about it. And amid the chaos, it was a minor event.

But wait till you see the downward trend over the next few months.

[brooding music playing]

[tense music playing]

[tense music fades]

Rubén.

Let's take a break.

I need to grab a coffee. We'll resume the meeting later.

- What do you want? - [Remigio] Hmm.

What could a dead man want?

Hmm?

The dead don't want things, Osorio.

And you were more valuable than me.

But death makes us equal.

With me dead and you alive,

the battle's gonna be much fairer, don't you think?

[man] Rubén? You coming?

Yes.

[indistinct chattering]

Next class, we'll go over the stuff for the exam, okay? See you.

[Daniel] Julio Clamens?

Yes.

[Daniel] The president has asked me to take you to his office.

[indistinct chattering]

[pensive music playing]

[device beeps]

[door lock clicks]

[Emilio] Julio!

Come in.

How are you?

How long has it been?

Two years already?

You haven't changed.

Have a seat.

How's Ana doing?

When will she let me meet my granddaughter?

That's something you need to ask her.

- Is that why you made me come here? - No, no. Of course not.

Did you have a good time last night?

You're spying on us?

I'm not spying on you, Julio.

I miss you.

And I look for ways to see my daughter and my grandchild.

You know?

Sometimes I watch them secretly from a distance.

Nobody knows that. Just my chauffeur.

Not even Elena. If she found out, she'd lose it.

She hasn't forgiven you.

I have.

I pray for you three.

Why am I here, Emilio?

Let's not stir up the past, all right? Can we not?

I'm not begrudging you,

not even after you tried to set me up with the DA.

- I tried to set you up? - No, no, no. Don't deny it. You tried.

But I didn't bring you here to point fingers

or offer explanations about cases that have already been closed.

Then why'd you bring me here?

[phone chimes]

We're going to kill them all. We're going to kill them all.

We'll beat some to death. We'll beat some to death.

[Julio] No. This is not right. That's not what Tadeo said.

No, they've edited this to make him look bad.

That confirms my suspicions. Tadeo is in danger.

That's why I need your help.

- What do you want me to do? - For starters, warn him.

Let him know he's in danger and that I want to protect him.

Tell him not to resist.

He mustn't give them any reason to carry out violent acts

that we'll all come to regret.

What are you saying?

I am not the enemy here.

Not Tadeo's nor yours.

I want to protect you.

Emilio...

I don't believe a single word coming out of your mouth.

I don't need you to believe me.

All I need is you to relay the message to Tadeo.

Then he'll decide whether to believe me or not.

You know you can count on me if you ever need anything.

You, Carola, and Ana, anything you need.

And if you ever want your old job back, the door is always open.

Don't condemn my daughter to a miserable life.

I know what I'm talking about.

[indistinct chattering]

[doctor] Your father is doing much, much better.

We've adjusted his medication, and he's responding very well.

- You wanna see him? - [Rubén] No, thank you.

I just wanted to talk to you about my father's condition,

about his disease.

Well, I wouldn't say that your father has a disease.

But he hallucinates.

He says he sees things. That's not normal.

No, it's not.

But in your father's case, given he shows cognitive decline

as well as early signs of dementia,

it's hard to tell whether he sees things or hears things--

Sees. He sees things.

One way or another,

we've added a mild anti-psychotic to his usual medication.

There is no reason for this to reoccur.

You think it could be hereditary?

- What? - The visions.

Well, I mean, could my father have had hallucinations at my age, for instance?

What are you concerned about, specifically?

No personal concern.

I just want to know more about my father's condition

and make sure he gets the right treatment.

- Hey, thank you. - What for?

- Thank you for helping me with the move. - Oh.

If I'd had to do it alone, it would've been hell.

Yeah, it's not easy.

I just hope I didn't ruin your plans for a Friday night social or something.

No, not at all. I'm happy to help out.

[phone buzzing]

If it's an unknown number, don't even bother.

- [phone buzzing] - Are they threatening you again?

They never stopped.

I don't understand who'd feel threatened by this third-rate lawyer I've become.

[Ramiro] No. You're no third-rate lawyer.

But if you ask me,

I kinda think you're wasting your talent working in real estate.

[Roberta] No, no.

I no longer fit in the judicial system. Nor in business.

I'm totally toxic.

At this point, I don't care. I'm just grateful for my job.

[doorbell buzzing]

[sighs]

Oh God. I can't believe these fuckers are showing up at my house now.

[Ramiro] Maybe it's not them. I'll go and check.

[doorbell buzzing]

Looks like congresswoman Alejandra Orsi. Do you know her?

- [Roberta] The redhead? - You know her?

[Roberta] Yes, but not personally.

Maybe she rang the wrong doorbell.

Yes, who are you looking for?

This is Alejandra Orsi. I'm looking for Roberta Candia. Is she there?

[boy] Try it now.

[engine starting]

Okay, we're all set.

Load whatever's missing. We're running late.

I'll get the table and put out the fire.

Great.

- Hey there. - [Tadeo] Hi.

Pedro didn't tell you?

Uh, we saw him this morning, but, uh...

- He's not here yet? - [boy] Is that him?

What was he supposed to tell us?

I thought everything was settled. I... I'm gonna strangle him.

- I don't follow. - [boy] Are you guys coming too?

- Forget it. It was a bad idea. I'm sorry. - [Jonathan] No, it's not a bad idea.

I got held up. There were a few things I needed to deal with.

You're always getting held up, Pedro. You didn't tell them.

I was supposed to get here earlier and explain, but--

No need to explain anything now. Yaelí already told us.

[Pedro] And so?

Well, you already know what the Ñañas have to offer.

If you're okay with that...

[Pedro] See? I told you it wouldn't be a big deal.

Yeah, but we haven't got a double bed.

- So what? - [boy] Aren't you guys a couple?

- [Pedro scoffs] - A couple? Him and I?

[laughs] Not if he was the last man on the planet.

All right, let's go. We're an hour behind schedule.

Load everything, and let's go.

- Let's go. - Here we go.

From what I can gather, you conducted a search at the San Juan Street Church.

[Roberta] Yeah, yeah. We tried to, but we were stopped by the judge.

What exactly were you looking for?

Moolah. Loads of cash.

A huge amount of money.

But we weren't able to prove it.

Remigio Cárdenas's file is nowhere to be found.

I asked for it everywhere,

but they dismantled the DA's office, and no one knows where it is.

[Roberta] No one knows?

Actually, no one's gonna let you go where those documents would lead you.

[Alejandra] And where would they lead me?

Did you keep any of the paperwork?

Anything that would prove that there was money laundering, bribes, tax fraud?

[Roberta] No, no. We don't have any of those things.

We don't have any of that, but we do have info about the money trail.

[tense music playing]

[Roberta] This is Remigio Cárdenas's notebook,

which Julio Clamens gave to us.

Julio Clamens?

[gentle piano music playing]

[door lock clicking]

Hi.

Carola's asleep, and the food is probably cold by now.

Ana, listen to me.

[dishes clatter]

[phone chimes]

I need to tell you something that happened today.

I'm really tired, Julio.

[Julio] I met with your dad.

[gentle piano music playing]

[Julio kisses]

[gentle piano music continues]

I know I don't want you to grow up in this shitty world, my sweet Carola.

You deserve to live in a much better world.

I don't know how to give it to you.

I feel so confused.

I don't know what's the right thing to do.

Up till now, all I've done is...

try to keep a low profile to protect you and your mom.

But hiding out isn't going to change things.

May I make a comment, Mr. President?

Yes, of course.

Forgive me if I'm being too forward, but I've been thinking about

the fact that you need to surround yourself

with people who are loyal, who will answer to you.

Pawns of the king.

I don't mean to meddle in your affairs, Mr. President, but if I may,

I would like to introduce you to some people whom I deeply trust.

People who I'm sure could be very useful to you

should the need arise in the future.

What do you mean, "should the need arise"?

Oh, nothing concrete.

But when one is in power, it is not unusual for mishaps to occur.

Speak clearly. What kind of mishaps?

Traitors, Mr. President.

Should you be betrayed, I'd like you to have people you can turn to.

I'm not saying it will happen, but you need to be prepared.

Good pawns?

Better than that.

Pawns who would be willing to sacrifice their lives for you

and for our country, of course.

And if God has loved us so generously,

it means that we must also be just as generous with our love.

We must love one another as he has loved us

because God is love.

And so, let us celebrate the word of the Lord.

Let us celebrate his love.

And here is Father Bastián.

- [woman] Is that okay? - Let's see.

Yeah, that's good. Magda, my love, come sit here.

- [Magdalena] Here? Why? - Yes.

- I want the light on her. Okay? - [woman] Like that?

- They're LEDs - Yeah, I really like that.

- [woman] Okay. - Yeah. These are new lights we're trying.

- Wonderful. - How horrible, that bomb thing.

I couldn't believe it.

- I didn't think it was that serious. - Work of the devil.

- [Magdalena] The devil. - No doubt.

Your wife took the brunt of it.

Yes, but all this will pass with time and faith.

With faith.

[Oscar] Anyways, what a lovely surprise, you guys.

Yes, nice surprise, Pabli.

It's a shame you didn't call first. We're getting new instruments.

We're expecting new electronic keyboards and sound equipment.

- [Pablo] Really? - Yeah, yeah.

- We wanna give a more modern feel... - Modern.

...to the ceremony.

- [Pablo] Great. - [Oscar] We can do that now.

- There is no Elena meddling about. - Papí.

[phone chimes]

- Ah! The instruments are here. - Great.

Ciao. See you.

- [Celeste] Why don't you help them out? - Yes, if you need a hand, I, uh...

No, stay here and admire the church.

[Celeste] No! Honestly, I'm in no hurry, and I'm sure you can use a hand.

- Go on. - Yes. Of course. I'll give you a hand.

- Thanks, Pabli. - Yeah, sure.

[Celeste chuckles]

[Pablo] Is it heavy what you have to unload, or...

No, they're just keyboards.

[Pablo] No drum sets?

No, no drums for now. Just keyboards.

I think we've got ten coming. Very good ones too.

Harsh.

There was a time when you couldn't get your hands off me, remember?

Of course you do.

How'd you end up here?

[Bastián exhales]

The "how" doesn't matter, does it?

It's the "why" that's important.

From one day to the next, you were gone.

You shut me out completely.

Didn't even get an invite to your wedding.

[scoffs]

You know that if I start talking, you're screwed, right?

And what if I talk?

Imagine your husband's reaction.

If he learns about the things we used to do,

I think he'd have a fit.

Don't worry. I come in peace.

[gasps] Oh, I'm sorry.

- [chuckles] I'm sorry. I'm embarrassed. - [Bastián] It's okay.

I was looking for the bathroom, and I got lost.

- What's your name? - Celeste.

Celeste.

Bodies are just bodies, and there's nothing wrong with them, okay?

Towel, yeah.

Antonio?

You're all grown up.

What are you doing here?

I need to talk to you.

[opera music playing]

[sighs]

[breathes deeply]

[knocking at door]

[knocking at door]

Mr. Osorio, is something wrong?

I came to your house because I needed to speak to you in private.

No one can know that we're meeting.

[door closes]

If you wanna speak with me, you need an appointment at my office.

You can't just come here.

Turn it off, please.

- What? - Turn it off.

Do you have your computer on? Anything with a video camera?

No, I don't have a computer on that has a video camera.

Good.

[opera music continues]

Mr. Osorio, you're at my house. Can you please tell me what you want?

[Rubén] I need a professional consultation.

[doctor] I saw you at my office today,

and we covered everything that needed to be discussed.

[music volume increases]

[Rubén] This isn't about my father.

I want you to treat me.

That is not the way I work.

You need to book an appointment at my office.

I conduct several admission interviews,

and then I decide whether to treat the patient or not.

A very simple thing.

I want what you give my father.

I'm not inclined to take medication unsupervised.

Do you have any symptoms?

No. No, not yet.

Strictly preventative.

But that's not the way these sorta things work.

Look, what I can do is refer you to a trusted colleague of mine

who'll be able to help you out.

No, it has to be you.

And I want you to start treating me right away. It needs to be effective.

Tomorrow, I'll message you to schedule the first interview.

Don't write it in. And if you do, don't write my name, just three dots.

And when you reply, keep it monosyllabic.

Yes, no, okay.

I'd much prefer a "yes."

And here's an advance.

With the money you'll receive, once we've finished the treatment,

you'll be able to pay off the mortgage on this apartment,

which I know worries you a lot.

Good evening.

See you soon.

[door opens]

[bus motor humming]

Remigio brought me here some years ago.

He left me with a family who treated me well.

They were good people.

That was, like, what? Five, six years ago?

[Antonio] Six.

I had just turned 13 when the pastor started...

Well...

And I'm not the only one.

Remember Oscar?

He's living in a small town near here, in Baigorria.

He also came here with Remigio.

And once in a while, Remigio would come here and give us some money

for school or to buy, uh,

whatever we needed.

Until two years ago, when he...

When he was killed?

They started saying horrible things.

Horrible.

And he had done nothing wrong.

And that pastor, they made him out to be a saint.

And he is not.

- That pastor is... - [Tadeo] I know.

I know.

[Antonio] I believe in you.

You can't let people believe those lies are real.

That pastor, he's evil.

Evil.

[tense music playing]

[dogs barking]

[tense music continues]

Everyone be seated, please.

It's a tremendous honor for us to count on your presence tonight, Mr. President.

The pleasure is mine, gentlemen.

And if I may, I will introduce my colleagues.

[Emilio] Please do.
