A man killed... Diego.

I think.

COMMUNITY SQUAD

Come on, move it. He's losing a lot of blood.

Go, go!

How's it going?

I'm a bit tired, but I'm doing my best to pull through.

- The victim? - Oh, it's not looking good for that guy.

They also found two male victims, dead.

Deceased.

- Lifeless... - Yeah, yeah, I got it.

METROPOLITAN POLICE

Whadda we got?

Yeah, I'll give you the rundown.

So, three males, at least.

Start torturing them, right?

Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!

Then, something changes. Maybe one of them fights back. Buh-bang!

Gun comes out. Bang! Bang!

They're dead instantly.

- Is there evidence or is that a guess? - Little bit of both.

Don't touch anything. Get coffee for the D.A.

Caramel macchiato, flat white?

Ristretto?

Coffee. I don't know.

No. No, no, no.

- What? - No, that's bad.

'Cause your face is like... You look like a walrus.

- I'll fix it for you. - Okay.

Keep your chin up.

Smile!

Bigger!

That's the one.

Núñez.

Please, call the CCTV office. Request their footage.

Things got messy.

- How could you kill a cop? - Dude was Urban Guard.

Either way, man, it's too much exposure!

I'm sorry, I had a really rough night.

You can't bring the issues with your marriage into work, leave it at home.

Say that again?

I'm sorry. My bad, Dogo.

Shouldn't bring Alejandra to this.

You crossed the line there.

We're all a little emotional

so maybe it's a good move for us to slow down and be adults about...

Sorry, a lady on the phone wants to know if we can get her a Woppy Bear by morning.

Yes. Always say yes, we'll figure it out later!

I can get her one at Planet Toys if you want.

- No, I've got this. - Okay.

Actually, go to the accountant

and give him this so he can cover all the bounced checks.

Here. Take this too, his grandson'll like it.

- How do we handle the guard that got away? - However you want.

We should find out where he went, if he's gonna cause trouble for us.

Can you do that?

You bet I can.

PLANET TOY STORE

Nothing?

With no details, man, how can I believe you?

Excuse me.

- The tranquilizer for you. - No, that's for me, Betty.

Give it to me.

- Huh? - I'll replace it you tomorrow.

Diego?

He's fighting. Hanging in there.

I was the one who suggested we check it out.

Everything will be okay.

How's Diego?

There, now. Mm? We've got your back. You'll be fine.

- Okay? - I think I'd like to quit.

- No. - No, no.

- No. - You're still in shock.

You don't wanna lose your job. Get some fresh air.

You'll be right as rain in no time, you'll see.

- Go. - Okay.

Great start, Miguel.

Let's try to keep them here longer than a day if we can. Mm?

Tell me what the cameras saw.

Fifty minutes of this.

- What do you want me to do? - The red button.

The red button?

- The red button, right in front. - I don't see a red button.

- You should point it out. - It's in the middle.

- In the middle? - In the middle.

Just one sec, okay? Let me see.

Did you get a chance to ask the Minister if we can push back the Mansardi piece?

She said we have to do it, it's our letter of introduction.

The thing about that is at the moment it's a little, uh, unusual.

We have to keep what happened here confidential. Hear me?

The Guard was never at that warehouse. That's not their job. Memorize it.

I need them to relax a little. Cheer them up more.

Make it right. Do your job.

Mm.

They should have given us guns, man.

I thought this was a laid-back job,

like, relaxed, and more fun. I'm not dying for Palermo.

If they're gonna be putting us at risk like that,

they should increase the pay a little.

Still, you'd have to be pretty stupid to walk into a warehouse just like that.

What?

- Are you okay? - Shh!

Who fucked up?

The privileged guy, who's cis, white, straight...

We don't make generalizations anymore.

It reminds me of that one about the guy...

Mario. Don't.

We're mourning right now.

- Okay, but I just... - Don't, Mario.

Come on, no one's dead yet, can we all maybe chill a sec?

The team needs to be united, okay?

Support each other, you know? Anyone talk to Felipe?

Hey.

You okay? Everyone's worried about you.

- I'm fine. - Mm.

I'm fine, much better. Much better, thanks.

Oh.

This afternoon we can visit Diego.

- One at a time. - You think I should go?

No, I'll go. I'll go.

- Pardon me! - Hey, hey!

- It's my turn. Okay? - Hey, hey.

- Be careful with this. - Huh?

- It can be tricky. - It's very delicate.

- Don't break it. - Don't break it.

- Listen, Gutiérrez. - Yeah?

We're at a shooting. I get shot.

- Hypothetically speaking. - Hypothetically.

What do you do? You leave me there alone? You ditch?

- No, I guess not. - Mm-hm.

Damn right. Rozenface.

How many of my partners have been wounded?

- I don't know. - Seven.

How many I left there? Have a guess.

One.

- What about Capitini? - Two.

But the point is your partner's life is just as valuable as yours is.

- Huh? - Okay.

That thing with Montes was iffy.

That thing with Montes was iffy. Two and a half. We'll say two and a half.

You gotta have team spirit.

- Okay? - Team spirit.

- Chin up, tiger. - Yeah.

- You're in the jungle now. - Okay.

This'll happen to you again.

Smile, okay?

Good.

- We gotta go. - We gotta go.

Yes, Felipe. How can I help?

I want to relocate somewhere much calmer than this.

This is a calm office! What do you want,

Parks and Rec?

PARKS AND REC TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Exactly.

Not likely, that's the most desired job. But I'll see what I can do for you.

- Thank you. - What's the reason, then?

Oh, right, you feel guilty.

- Or do you feel you aren't good enough? - Guess so.

So, we'll just say it's for personal reasons, then.

Here's what's necessary.

I need forms A and B filled out,

and you'll need to have them notarized.

That's only on Mondays and then Fridays.

I need your social security number and a completed bill of health

to start the transfer.

Now, I'll say that there might be things one can do to expedite it.

For example, there are these

assorted perfumes.

- What is this? - So pretty to look at.

They're all new perfumes here.

It's real cheap.

You just pick one...

Ah.

- No, no, no, give that back. - Uh...

Never mind.

We'll talk about it some other time. You know, today's been a lot.

Take that.

Get this set notarized, and have your superior sign it.

Luis, what do you say we go film outside?

I think the image of the neighborhood would be a nice, interesting way to start.

I'll show you. There's a lot of enthusiasm about this.

GRANDPA KERMANN TOY STORE

URBAN GUARD

FELIPE ROZENFELD 853 FRIENDS - ADD FRIEND

Rozenfeld.

I might've known a Rozenfeld. From the synagogue, or...

Well, there's a million Rozenfelds.

But I don't think you should hurt him, Dogo.

It's confirmed, guys. They stole one of our crates.

At any rate, you need to work on using your words.

I'm your boss, you need to listen to me, Dogo.

I tried talking, man.

I wouldn't have given you Dad's tools if I had known what you were gonna do.

I have two bits of news. A good one and a not-so-good one.

- The good one? - This guy might get us a Woppy Bear.

- Not so good? - The guard you shot went to the hospital.

He didn't die.

That news is terrible! Not-so-good, my ass.

Fix it.

It's been a rough day.

We need to take some time to discuss, to process everything.

Not yet though, because today I have a surprise for you.

If I say the name Luis Mansardi, what do you think of first?

Two-faced, mercenary, sensationalist piece of shit.

Okay, I'm sure not everyone thinks the way you do, though.

- Right, Bernardo? - Hello, Miguel.

Well, we're gonna have Luis Mansardi come to do a nice story.

He wants us to tell him about the Guard, he wants to know all about us,

and we'll tell him whatever he wants to know.

Except for Diego. No mention of Diego, period.

- We lie to him then? - No, we just don't wanna overdo the truth.

Feli. Feli. Here we go. Come on, guys, come on.

Come on, come on. Let's go.

YOUR FAULT

Joni.

Joni.

NOT YOUR FAULT

Well, you know, we could stand to work on it a little,

but it's the thought. The message is what counts, right?

Thanks. I'm going to Parks and Rec instead, though, so it's really...

Can you sign the form for me?

Come on. Come.

Why don't you have a seat?

You know what, Feli? Now's not the time for decisions.

No?

Take five of those whenever you feel a little unsteady.

They'll really help you think straight, more clearly. You'll see.

And I'll give you the number of my homeopath later, she's really great.

'Cause you know what? The team needs you, right?

Don't we?

Let's give it up for Feli! Come on!

Give it up!

Luis Mansardi, ladies and gentlemen. That's right.

FAULT

Oh, hey, ma. Uh...

So...

There was a shooting.

- One of my friends got... - No.

Let's get started, Miguel.

- Now? - Hey, hey, hey.

Take it easy there, champ, okay?

Start low like that, and then go from the feet to up here.

Then get a wide shot of us all.

Watch out.

- No! No, no! - Sorry!

- Wait. - The camera didn't break.

Take one of these little pills, okay?

It'll chill you out, know what I mean?

It takes a little while to take effect, but you'll go on a... a nice little trip.

We're here with Sofi,

the Urban Guard's fighter.

Although this little lady has no feeling in her legs,

it's clear that instead it's all in her heart and soul.

Will you share your story with us?

I was tired, so I sat down.

Okay, let's see now, uh...

Because Vivi also has a very interesting story to tell.

Isn't that right, Vivi?

Vivian, I've been told you come from a policemen's household. What's it like?

For example, how well do you get along with your dad?

Well, we're not on speaking terms right now.

Did he have a hard time accepting you're trans?

No, that he's okay with.

Being an Urban Guard is what he can't tolerate.

You know, we could... What we could do is, uh, interview some of the others.

There are others who'd like a chance, who have interesting stories.

Whatever you like.

Should we interview, the uh, autistic kid?

Everything okay there, buddy?

Oh, look at that, you had a nose bleed, huh?

It's dry. Let's clean this. There you go. Hold this.

Why don't we go see the guards in action? Okay?

Shall we go?

Let's go.

So, how tall are you Jonatan?

- Four feet, two inches. - You're very short.

But I'm sure your heart is quite large in there.

Yeah, it is. And according to my doctor,

it might be the cause of some health problems later on.

- It's called a dilated cardiomyopathy. - Mhm.

- Can you tell us what it is you're doing? - Um...

I'm taking drinks to the homeless guys.

Go ahead, the camera's yours.

- Hey, you idiot, don't step on the bed. - Okay.

Are you gonna arrest me now?

No, we brought you coffee. We're from the Urban Guard.

Oh. That's a big mess you got in. There was a shooting. Right?

Today's a beautiful day,

that's why we're out making the most of it.

And cut.

Check the camera, see if...

- I wanted to end on a high note there. - That was it?

Feli, you have no idea how upset I am.

Do you want dad to pick you up?

One more segment.

Tell me, Felipe, what does being an Urban Guard mean to you?

You are in there with the city's issues, right?

There could be danger,

insecurity...

No.

I don't know,

because, see, I, uh... I don't... I'm actually being transferred.

- One of my teammates... - No. Uh, Feli.

Uh, you forgot the speech you wrote, it was with me...

- I didn't... - I'd rather he improvised.

- The thing is, uh... - I...

- Uh, go ahead. Read what you wrote down. - I'll read this.

Um, he just wants to get it right.

They're geniuses, but they live in their own world.

They are perfectionists.

They're really good with numbers.

Who, the Jews?

No, the autistic.

We prefer to say "people with autism."

Better to show that you are not your diagnosis, yeah?

Because we don't want to stigmatize anyone, see?

Okay. Still rolling.

"There's so much to do

and we can't sit back and just do nothing."

"That's why the narcs are here for you."

- The guards. - "The... The guards."

"The society we live in has no..."

I don't... I can't read what I wrote.

- Has no empathy? - Empathy. That's it.

"But we won't give up."

"We're quite a bit stronger than you all might think."

- Cut. - That was great. You, uh...

Isn't one guy missing?

Yeah, there's one missing, because he, uh, was feeling sick and stayed at home dead.

Uh, he stayed in bed.

But, well, that's, uh...

Well done. Awesome, that was great.

Hi, Pau?

How are you?

I don't know if you heard, but I almost died.

When I told you to start making decisions, I meant picking a mattress,

going therapy, not being a cop.

I didn't sign up to be a cop.

How's your partner doing? You went to see him, right?

What do you think?

You think I should visit?

Look who's here!

When they're like that, you need to talk. It stimulates them.

Right.

Hey, Diego, what's up?

This was all my fault.

I'm always trying to prove I'm someone I'm not.

And it leads to things like this.

Well,

actually, what I think is, I'm trying to prove to my parents, to Paula

that I can do better.

But maybe they're right.

Maybe this is it.

Yeah.

acknowledging that you don't belong somewhere,

and deciding to step back takes courage.

It wasn't a good fit. It wasn't right.

You agree.

Where is he?

Okay.

If I want to prove I'm worth anything,

would I join a useless guard to do that? Ha.

And if I left, you... you wouldn't, um...

That's not letting you down.

Right? Right, Diego?

Exactly.

Visitation hours have come to an end.

- Yeah? - The doctor is coming to check on him.

But I'm sure your visit was very good for him.

You think?

Look, the doctor will come evaluate his progress,

but I have every reason to think he'll recover.

In cases like this, it's about a 90 percent chance he'll make it.

Just gotta have faith!

I'm an atheist, but...

if the science says that...

The science says that!

Diego is in a deep vegetative state.

He's not coming back.

We did everything we could,

but it didn't work.

Ah, sorry.

It's always such a lottery. Isn't that right, hun?

His family isn't near here, so I'll give you his stuff now, okay?

But, I don't...

He's a vegetable now.

No, on his own. I didn't do a thing.

I found the other guy.

- Take your time. - He likes to talk.

- Were you friends with him? - We met yesterday.

I know now's a weird time, but

could you get a health certificate signed for me?

Hm?

To all the brave guards, hello there.

I want to send you a warm greeting...

...because things are complicated,

in this complex and sad moment.

I wish for peace in our backyards.

In our children's classes.

We are counting on you!

- Thank you for making... - Thank you for that beautiful message.

And I also want to thank Elisa, Diego's mom,

who's traveled a long way.

Hearing from some of his teammates might be good.

He mattered.

Anyone else?

Okay.

The memories.

Um...

He brought me here so I could file a complaint.

We walked together...

uh, once.

We bought cheese bread.

He was really nice and always seemed happy.

He was a decent person, you know.

Let's, let's take a second, to, uh, give our teammate an award here, who...

um...

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

- I didn't do anything. - What do you mean? You did.

Uh, excuse me. Sorry.

Luis! Ah, this is a surprise. What brings you back here?

We checked the footage, and it's poor at best.

The show airs tomorrow.

We need a bit more material.

The thing is we're in the middle of a special event, you know?

We are giving an award out and we're sending best wishes to one of our guys,

who will... probably be alright.

Oh, baby!

Sons of bitches!

If you could give us a bit of privacy at this time,

I promise we'll come up with something you can use to close your piece.

They took him from me!

They took my son from me!

If you like, I could give you money.

This can't be happening!

- Whatever you need. - Okay.

- Don't hesitate to ask. - Okay. Thank you.

- I-I wanted to give you Diego's things. - Oh.

Hang on to that.

I have my Diego in my heart.

Look.

Here.

Oh, come here. Come here, come here.

Put this on.

I'm sure he'd be happy knowing you have it.

But I'm Jewish.

The Police never do anything!

Promise me you'll do whatever it takes to find the people who took my son.

- Me? - Mm-hm.

Uh, yeah. I promise.

- Rozenfeld? - Yeah?

- The transfer's ready now. - Oh.

We'll close the deal tomorrow.

Remember to bring some cash. The cash for the perfume, you know.

First day and you're already getting accolades. That's impressive!

I'm sad that you're leaving though.

Yeah, I...

I don't wanna make mistakes. I'm just not cut out for this.

Let's do one more group take, okay?

Honestly, who is cut out for this, man?

- No one. - Yeah.

They don't expect us to do anything.

In my opinion, better to fail together, right?

I don't know. That's how I see it.

That girl should be up front, where we can clearly see the chair, okay?

- Sure. - Can you help me up, please?

- I don't want him to win. - Okay.

- Yeah. I'll hold on to you. - You, get in closer.

Okay, turn around a little.

No, this way, this way. Towards me, towards me. Come back a little.

Come back. No, you're too far back.

- You gotta move to the right. - Get down to position...

- Everyone ready? - That way.

Ready?

Okay.

Who are we? Say it together. The Urban Guaaard.

The Urban Guaaard.

- It's a video. - Ah.

Okay. Let's pretend we're talking spontaneously.

Uh...

They started this experimental program,

knowing they'd need to bite the bullet when dealing with the public.

But one of them really did.

Diego Márquez, or "Toad", as his friends called him,

was sent to the streets armed only with his dreams of progress.

It wasn't enough.

Urban Guards don't do anything, they're useless.

Do you think a person in a wheelchair can chase after a burglar?

I wanna know how much the city is paying them

because it's coming out of our tax dollars.

- And they're not all Argentine, you know. - Hey!

I was born here. I pay my taxes.

- I have rights. - Julio.

- If they're not Argentine, just leave. - Yes.

No, there's no need to put the minister on the line, I, uh...

- Minister, hi! Uh... How are you? - A man falls victim to insecurity

- ...and the Government's ineptitude. - Yes.

Hey, Rozenfeld!

Now fill out this form and sign the bottom.

All these opinions from the community really make us think

inclusion like that and security,

do they go hand in hand?

Is the Urban Guard here to stay

or is it just another pointless waste of public funds?

Screw the haters! This needs to bring us closer together,

because who are we doing this for?

All together, "For Diego!"

- For Diego. - For Diego.

Yeah, okay. Go, go, go, go, go. Let's go.

What's the matter?

Hey!

What's the matter?

Sorry, I'm fine right where I am.

But, Felipe! Do you know how much trouble it was to get all this done for you?

Okey dokey. Yes, yes. Well, all press is good press, as the saying goes.

- No, bad press is bad, Miguel. - They also talked about integration.

You there? Minister, you there?

Minist...

What do you want me to say? I'd rather...

- Hey, I decided to stay. - Shh.

Felipe, shush.

Okay, I just wanted to let you guys know that.

Good call.

Welcome back, you're just in time to see the group fall apart.

I don't think it'll be that bad.

We're team guards.

That was a little...

- You're putting pressure on the chair. - Oh, sorry.

- Just use my shoulder. - Huh, there?

Will the culprits be caught? Will we see justice done?

We can't sit back and do nothing.

But we won't give up.

We are much stronger than you might think.

His friends demand justice.

Will they get it?

I'm Luis Mansardi.

And thanks for letting me be a part of it.

This report...
