[pensive music playing]

OUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD - JOHN 5:4

Everything in here is yours, Jesus.

This is money well-earned. God's money.

My family and I will risk our lives if need be in order to protect it.

[theme music playing]

THE KINGDOM II

A PLAN

[exhales deeply]

[sniffles]

[melancholy music playing]

[vehicle approaching]

[Julio] Hey. How you doing?

Hey.

[pensive music playing]

- Weird, right? - [man] Yeah.

[tense music playing]

That son of a bitch.

[woman] She was found on the side of the road.

My Chami was 16 years old.

They said it was a suicide.

But that's not true.

That's impossible.

They won't release her body.

They won't give us the results of the autopsy.

Even journalists don't wanna listen to us.

We're all alone.

Nobody cares about this.

But people believe you.

That's why you have to tell everyone what happened.

[Tadeo] We're gonna do more than that.

We'll do whatever it takes.

For the moment,

we will join you in the protest today.

Thank you.

[sobs] Thank you.

Thank you.

[bird chirping]

[Julio] Who else would follow me here if not Emilio's men?

- You have to leave again. - [Tadeo] We're moving all the time, Julio.

We don't spend more than two days in any given place.

[Julio] I mean, leave the country. It's really dangerous for you to stay.

[sighs] But there's still so much to do.

Julio, what these women are saying

is the exact same thing we hear everywhere we go.

They may come from different places,

have different needs, but they all ask for the same thing.

A better life.

Well, you're the type of person

who affects everyone you meet.

I see that with my students.

Thanks to those videos of yours that are circulating,

they finally understand things that

I spend hours trying to explain.

Hours.

Yet, I cannot get through to them.

[Tadeo] Don't sell yourself short.

I've seen you in action.

And what good has ever come out of what I've done?

- Emilio as president? - You trusted him.

He fooled us all.

No, I never really trusted him. I...

I was ambitious.

I needed to, I don't know, prove that I could do it.

But really, it was all arrogance on my part.

Julio, there's a plan.

I'm absolutely convinced.

It's like... a huge board game.

We are all the pieces of that game.

And we each have a role to play.

And we're all players.

Even those who quit.

I swear, sometimes I don't know how to talk to you.

- You're not Jesus. - [laughing]

- But... - No, of course not.

- It... it's not about me. - Right.

There are many people who wanna live well.

Evil can't always win.

[Julio] You have no idea how much I'd love to say you are right.

Your piece is already in play.

You're here for a reason.

The other day, this boy shows up.

Now, you.

Think it's a coincidence?

Come, I wanna introduce you. His name's Antonio.

He's...

he's one of the boys that, uh...

well... that Emilio...

Raped?

Yes.

And he's in contact with others.

And he came looking for us.

For their wounds to heal,

these kids need to find justice.

And it's... it's not something I can promise them.

However, I can help them uncover the truth

and spread the word.

I have faith in what's to come.

In the new friends who have just joined us.

In the people we meet along the way and who have total faith in our journey.

[Julio sighs]

This is a battle fought by many.

And that will be our strength.

The pieces are in place.

Game is on.

MARCH FOR JUSTICE

[Rubén] Now he's with the natives. Hmm.

This fella hangs out with every needy person he comes across.

Listen.

Social media belongs to all.

Mainstream media, though, that's still our turf.

Let's send out a news crew, a reporter from some news channel.

Doesn't really matter who.

And have them follow Tadeo around

and report on all the bullshit he gets into.

And if there's nothing, make something up.

He's with the Indigenous? That'll do.

We'll burn down a few ranches.

Let's show the people that violence is never justified,

even for a land dispute.

You'll have the natives claim it's been theirs for millennia,

but, I mean, going way back, that land belonged to the dinosaurs.

[Lautaro] Okay, I'm on it.

Lautaro,

this needs to escalate quickly.

When this guy turns into Godzilla,

he has to come into the city and destroy it all.

And when that happens,

I want everyone in the country to watch the whole thing live.

Remember, with the Twin Towers, they sent one plane first,

and when the whole world was watching,

the second one hit.

- [Lautaro] Hmm. - Well, something like that.

No one will be able to avoid seeing what we want to show them.

[Elena] No, no! That's enough!

I cannot and will not tolerate any more delays.

The president has authorized a subsidy. I don't get it.

What are you waiting for to execute his order?

But it takes more than just issuing an order.

The budget has already been approved and the money allocated.

The budget is an act of Congress.

It would take too long for a new law to be enacted

for the purpose of a few specific expenses.

Yeah, those are excuses! Excuses, laws, congress!

All excuses to avoid doing what needs to be done.

When I said that the abortion law has to be repealed, once again, I was told,

"Well, it needs to go through Congress first."

And when I said school children should not be indoctrinated,

I'm told that sex education is now the law!

But who's in charge of this country? What's the big hurdle?

Is it Congress? If that's the case, shut it down!

Come on!

- There are three powers in our country. - No! No!

No. There is only one.

Jesus.

And my husband, the president,

has the obligation to ensure that his authority is exerted.

Now, listen, I don't care what you do,

but tomorrow morning, I want to see that money in the church's bank account.

Also, take care of the rest.

That's what you get paid to do after all.

[Roberta] We could only investigate the foster home back then.

After Remigio Cárdenas's guilty plea and alleged suicide,

all the doors closed on us.

[Alejandra] Is there some way we can find the boys mentioned in the notebook?

- [Ramiro] Yes, Clamens took care of that. - Clamens?

Why'd he do that?

Payback for not getting a government post, I bet.

I don't think so. He's the one who gave me the book.

[Alejandra] Hmm.

And the day he called me, he was asked to become chief of staff.

Yes.

What if the notebook is just a red herring to derail the investigation?

No, it was shut down right away. No, no, no.

I can assure you,

Clamens was very diligent about it, very serious.

In fact, he was very loyal.

He really stuck his neck out.

I met him the other day. He teaches at the university. Yeah.

Well, if he's teaching, I guess he got back on his feet.

Yeah, people like him usually do.

Okay, I don't like him all that much, but if you say he is key, well, then

I can find out what his class schedule is and pay him a visit.

Hmm. Yeah.

I think the less we talk on the phone, the better.

- No. No, no. - Yes.

It wouldn't be good for us to be seen with Clamens.

They know who we are. They've been following Roberta.

Okay. I'll do it.

But I'm telling you, I really don't like the guy.

And so you weren't able to convince him?

Well, you know him.

There's no way. He says he's on a mission.

Come on. Have another bite.

When he talks about it, it's hard not to buy into it.

But does he understand he's in danger?

Yes, he knows what Emilio is capable of.

Well, new fake videos were released today.

And in the news, they announced an investigation.

They're planning something. I'm sure of it.

Want some cheese, sweetie?

Yes?

Tadeo wants me to reopen the boys' case.

He says if there's no justice, let there be truth.

He wants everything out for everyone to see.

Julio, not now.

It's important for me to know what you think.

Not now. Go on. Go get changed.

Right.

[Ana] I'll take care of her.

[sighs] Is it good, sweetie?

[calculator printer whirring]

[door opens]

[Pablo] Hey, Mom. Can we interrupt?

[calculator printer whirring]

Whether or not you interrupt me won't change a thing.

Not as long those dumbasses who work for your father don't transfer the money.

How did it go?

- Well-- - Badly.

We now understand why they attract so many people,

but what we saw was abhorrent,

and we will not do that here, no matter how effective it is.

- Abhorrent? - [Pablo] Mom...

The pastor they have there, he's not my style.

There's no way I can do what he does.

- [Elena] What does he do? - He sings and dances like he's some kinda...

I dunno, like a rock star or a cumbia dance champion or a porn star.

Porn star!

But we... we favor an approach that's very different.

[Pablo] Very different.

[Celeste] Jesus gave us all strengths and weaknesses, right?

And so, instead of ignoring and trying to hide Pablo's weaknesses,

we should focus on highlighting his considerable strengths.

And what are those?

[Celeste] His healing powers.

Pablo is a healer, Elena.

And as such, he's the one who's gonna help me walk again.

We're gonna need a very large audience.

[Pablo] Yes, a large audience--

[Celeste] We can't reveal everything. Just drop a few hints.

Like, there's gonna be a day of healing.

And right in the middle of the ceremony, Pablo gets me to walk again.

[sighs] All right. [clears throat]

Listen, son,

I'm well aware that throughout the history of our Church,

we've had to conjure up a few miracles now and then

for the sole purpose of drumming up a little faith

and magnifying people's reverence for the power of Jesus.

But getting someone who doesn't walk back on their feet? Hmm?

No matter how much effort, goodwill, and faith you put in,

it will not work, my boy.

No, it will work, Mommy.

I'm not saying it won't work because of you.

- It wouldn't work for anyone. - [Celeste] It will work, Elena.

This morning I felt a tingling in my legs.

Then I was able to take a few steps, and now I'm almost back to normal.

It is a miracle, Elena.

[chuckles softly]

A miracle indeed.

[Tadeo] I'm not being naive.

[Pedro] You are because you don't know anything about these people.

In order not to be naive, I have to be blind, deaf, and mute?

No, no, no. You're twisting my words around.

[Tadeo] No, no, I'm not.

You're asking me to play dumb 'cause it's not good for us.

[Pedro] Look. I'm the first to stand up for the Indigenous rights,

but staying with them won't do us any good.

Do you really think I'm stupid, or I don't know how things work?

Reactions to injustice are not always the best,

but I don't get what you propose.

You want us to play dumb

because some people don't like seeing us associated with their cause.

- But they're valid. Let's not forget that. - You're hard to talk to.

As long as we don't trust each other, we will be weak.

Here we are.

[indistinct chattering]

[woman] Oh, it's so beautiful!

- [groom] Mária. - Yes.

Excuse me. I'll be right back, all right?

Hey, we're not here to argue, all right? We're here to have some fun.

Friends are getting married and invited us to their wedding.

What do you mean "friends"? We don't even know them.

No, but they know us. And they want us to share this with them.

Pedro, relax, dude. Peace and love?

- [Pedro chuckles] - That's it. Peace and love!

We go meet them, chat a bit, eat some food, drink a little wine,

and we leave before nightfall.

Peace and love?

Peace and love.

- [groom] Tadeo, I need to ask you a favor. - Yeah. Sure. What is it?

María and I want your blessing.

Uh, I... I'm not a pastor.

[groom] Doesn't matter.

Your blessing would be the best wedding present.

That's weird.

Hey, show some respect. It matters to them, okay?

[indistinct chattering]

I wish you both to have a good life.

The best life.

I wish the happiness you feel today never abandons you.

[waltz music playing]

Yes, and now it's their turn.

- Nice, huh? - Yes.

Everyone is having a great time, yeah.

[waltz music continues]

Hey, Tadeo!

You can't just sit there all day. Let's dance.

Uh, I can't dance.

- What do you mean, you can't dance? - I've never done it.

Well, we're gonna fix that right now. I will teach you.

[Tadeo] Mmm...

Just listen to the music, and let yourself go.

Is it really that easy?

- Put your right hand on my shoulder. - Huh?

If we're doing it the conventional way, it should actually be down here,

but you're learning, so I'm leading, okay?

[Tadeo] Ah.

[Yaelí chuckles]

One, two, three. One, two, three.

One, two, three. That's it.

You're dancing. Listen to the music.

- Just listen to the music. - [boy] Look at that!

We've got romance happening here. Woo-hoo!

[chuckles] Hey! What? What did I say?

- ["El Bombón" by Los Palmeras playing] - [guests cheering]

Go, go, Tadeo!

Whoo! [laughs]

[both laughing]

Yeah!

[song ends]

[Julio] Remember the labyrinth?

- You have to look at it the other way. - I'm not convinced.

It makes no sense to me. You're always locked in some kind of cave.

As soon as you come out of one, you enter another.

[Julio] All right. Next class, we'll explore that.

[student] Thank you.

Morning. Congresswoman Alejandra Orsi.

Yes, I know who you are.

[Alejandra] What did you wanna do with this?

- Who gave you that? - [Alejandra] Former DA Roberta Candia.

Tell me, is this legit, or were you trying to throw in a red herring?

I came to tell you we're reopening the case you dropped.

Candia should never have given you that.

What do you plan on doing with it? Use it for your own political advantage?

You may not care about the lives of those kids, but I do.

That case has cost many lives. Show a bit of respect.

I'll be meeting with Candia and her assistant if you're interested.

[indistinct chattering]

Hey, are you ready?

[gasps] What a great kick!

- You kicked the ball really far! Yay! - I kicked it!

[woman] You scored a goal just like Messi!

You wanna try again? Huh? Okay.

[eerie echoing music playing]

[woman] Go over there. I'll kick it to you.

Carola!

[woman] One, two, go!

Oh, oops. Oopsie. My fault.

Carola!

[tense music playing]

Carola!

[woman] What is she wearing?

She's wearing a... a pink jacket.

Carola!

[tense music continues]

Carola!

Carola!

[Carola] Mommy.

[Ana] Oh, sweetie. There you are.

You okay?

[Ana] Yeah.

- Sorry. I don't know what came over me. - No.

That's motherhood for you.

[chuckles]

[woman] Hey there, baby!

This is Félix.

Look, I made two new friends.

Carola and...

- Ana. - [woman] Carola and Ana.

Lovely names.

Félix. And I'm Sandy.

Hi.

[Ana] Hello, Félix.

[gentle music playing]

Sister Celeste...

come to me.

Come to Jesus.

In today's ceremony, with faith, you will be healed.

God...

God tells me...

God is telling us all this is the moment.

Today is the day you leave that chair.

And I... I will make sure that it is so.

Hallelujah.

[door opens]

[Pablo] The doctors have told you that you can't walk.

There's a spot over there.

The doctors say you will never leave that chair.

Oh, but God...

[laughs]

...God is the one who makes those decisions.

- We are gonna change your blood, Celeste. - Look, Bastián.

[Pablo] We are going to change...

Did you tell him to come?

No, I didn't,

but the ceremony was announced everywhere.

- He must've heard about it. - [Pablo] ...prevents you from walking.

But today, we are here to purify it,

to renew it...

[phone chimes]

...through the love of Jesus!

Right now, Celeste,

you should feel your blood being cleansed,

slowly being transformed.

- Do you feel it? Do you feel it? - Yes, I feel it. Yes, I do.

- Yes, I feel it. - Yes, you feel it.

- [Pablo] Yes, you feel it. Yes, you do. - [Celeste] Yes, I feel it.

Oh Jesus, I beg for your blessings!

Oh, bless these diseased legs and cure them.

- Oh Jesus, heal her. - Oh Jesus, heal her.

- Oh Jesus, heal her. - [Celeste] Oh Jesus, heal me.

- Heal me! - [Pablo] Heal her!

- Oh Jesus, heal her. - Oh Jesus, heal me!

- Oh Jesus, heal me. - [Pablo] Oh Jesus, heal her.

Oh Jesus, heal--

Praise the Lord!

Glory. Glory to God.

[machine whirring, hissing]

From the content of the notebook,

I classified the children by place of birth.

- Oh, good. - I used clips as markers.

- How about that, huh? - Excellent. That's great.

- [machine stops] - Oh!

I hadn't realized how noisy that thing was until it stopped working.

I'm so used to it, I don't even hear it anymore.

Excuse me.

I just came to bring you these. Hot off the press.

- Great. Thanks. - And I'm on my way.

[Alejandra] I love the smell of ink, Uncle.

Well, the guys will be done soon.

They'll turn everything off, and then they'll leave.

- [Alejandra] Okay. - I'll leave you the key.

- So just close the curtains and lock up. - Okay.

Perfect. I'll do that. Thank you for putting up with us.

- [uncle] No worries. - Very nice of you.

I love watching you work here.

When I see you with your friends plotting big things,

I can't help but thinking of Vieytes' soap factory.

Oh!

And that patriots are about to show up and spark the Revolution of 1810.

- Wouldn't that be great? - Wish that was the case.

- [doorbell rings] - Who's that? Patriot or revolutionary?

Don't think so. We invited one, but he got scared.

- Too chicken to show up. - [uncle] Not one of the braves.

- A wet blanket. - [Julio] Excuse me.

- [uncle] Hello. - Hi. I'm Julio.

- [uncle] That's my cue. Bye. - [Roberta] See you. Clamens.

- Candia. - [Roberta] Glad to have you on board.

- Calderale. - How are you?

[Alejandra] I assumed you weren't coming.

You assumed wrong. So, a chicken?

Based on the intel I had...

For a congresswoman, Orsi, you have terrible intel.

Want me to go into details about my intel?

Right. Let's get to work.

[Ramiro] Yes. We were talking about the children.

- Let's focus on that. - [Roberta] Yeah.

But I never lost sight of them.

While they were in the country, I had them monitored,

and when they were abroad, I had informants.

If that worries you...

Well, it shouldn't.

The important thing now

is to let things snowball to the size of a massive avalanche

that wipes out everything in its wake.

Has to be unstoppable.

But we agreed you would bring them to me.

What happened?

You couldn't do it?

Bringing them is the easiest thing in the world. But what for?

Tadeo is no good to us now.

We need him bigger.

I need to transform him into a monster

so I can turn you into the savior of the country.

You understand, Emilio?

You have to lead a holy war,

and for that, you need an enemy of stature.

Yes, Mr. President?

Any news about Julio?

We know Clamens took a bus from Retiro, heading north.

He must've visited someone in the area. He was back the next day.

Excellent, Daniel.

[Daniel] Many thanks, Mr. President.

May I be allowed a few words, Mr. President?

Speak freely. Yes, of course you can.

I took the liberty of drawing up a list.

What kind of list?

People who are against you, Mr. President,

who do a lot of harm.

Agitators.

People seeking the destruction of our country, the family,

who infringe on private property.

This is an initial list. The most notorious ones.

Surely, when you read it, you'll think of a few more names.

I believe strong exemplary measures should be taken promptly.

Something like raiding one of those abortion clinics or queer nightclubs.

If the institutions don't work as they should,

we need to help them get back on track.

Just think about it, Mr. President.

Your men are standing by, waiting for instructions.

I'll think about it.

And while I do so, I have another important assignment for you.

And I'll need your best men for this task.

[indistinct chattering]

[pensive music playing]

[indistinct chattering]

[whistle blowing]

- This is where you'll be waiting. - Got it.

- Make sure to get a team. - Roger.

[indistinct radio chatter]

I've got it right here.

[pensive music continues]

[guns cocking]

[indistinct chattering]

Come on, let's go.

Gentlemen.

The president needs your support for a special assignment.

Can I count on you?

[Atilio] When do we start?

Let's warm up the engines.

The medication you gave me is working.

I've only had a few episodes since the last time.

I'm convinced that those visual hallucinations you've been having

are a consequence of post-traumatic stress.

I don't recall any traumatic episodes.

[doctor] Sometimes it's not so obvious.

I've had a pretty regular life.

Rather

normal.

[doctor] What about death?

How do you deal with death?

With death? Well...

[tense music playing]

- [doctor] Do you see him? - Yes.

Is he here?

Yes.

Here?

He's here?

- Yes. - [doctor] Yes.

Here, Mr. Osorio, there's nothing.

If there were, my arm would be touching something.

What you need to do is edit what you see.

That image you find inconvenient,

you edit it and throw it away.

There will be times when editing it out won't work.

When that happens, don't try to fight it.

Just push it aside and go on with your life

but with the knowledge

the certainty that it exists only inside your head.

[elevator clatters]

[ominous music playing]

You're not here.

Cutting you out.

Won't get worked up over a dead guy I made up myself.

A dead guy?

Only one?

- Are you sure? - [scoffs]

[ominous music intensifies]

[Tadeo on video] ...with all our strength.

What are you gonna do, huh? You're gonna kill us all?

Will you beat some to death

and kill the others by stealing what they need--

[footsteps approaching]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Atilio] You must be Officer Cortez.

Yes, sir. Have a seat.

We're going to need someone very familiar with the area.

[Cortez] López! Come here.

[motorcycle approaching]

They're looking for you.

People from Buenos Aires.

They know where you are.

I told them it's impossible to follow the road at night,

but they'll come as soon as the sun rises.

Thanks for the warning.

Let's pack everything up. We're leaving tonight.

We've got enough gas for about 150 miles without stopping.

Perfect.

How is your son doing?

[López] Doing well.

The worst is over.

He's growing well.

[sobs]

[melancholy music playing]

How was your day?

[Elena] Intense, but I don't complain.

Detecting problems gives us a perfect opportunity

to overcome setbacks.

What do you mean "setbacks"?

[Elena] Things that don't go according to plan.

But in the end, you realize that Jesus somehow had other plans.

- [Emilio] Are they Jesus's plans? - Mm.

And all that Jesus blesses, we must accept with joy, right?

Well, we live in the joy of Jesus.

I've been checking Botardi's list.

Uh, there are surprises.

There are a few names we could add to it.

And listen,

Emilio, I think we need to open up our circle a little bit

and let in some fresh air, some new ideas.

Botardi is not family, but he should be heard.

[Emilio] Of course.

I would like to

have more contact with him if it's okay with you.

Go over the list.

No, I think that's great.

Food's great. Delicious.

[Elena] Mmm. Yes, it is.

I've met Botardi's people.

People of faith?

Not all of our faith but believers. They go to church.

- [Elena] Will I be able to meet them? - [Emilio] Of course.

- Soon? - [Emilio] Quite soon.

Then let us give thanks to the Lord.

Thank you, Lord.
