The Club Page #3

So set aside your arrogance

and lead the life you have to lead...

the life of an accomplice.

They put you in this house

to keep you quiet.

I won't claim to be innocent, but please

do not try to manipulate a cunning fox...

who during his long life as a priest

has touched more communion bread...

than you have touched your own member.

I'm checking-

You don't have a file. No.

What's your first name?

Are you listening?

Father Ramirez.

Do you understand what's going on?

Brother, can you see me?

An angel.

An angel?

Yes, but dark.

A black person?

No, a poor man.

He used swear words.

There were three priests

who touched their genitals.

Then they would proceed to masturbation,

self-masturbation...

that they would perform...

by moving their foreskin...

back and forth, back and forth.

They would penetrate them anally and...

then came the oral part.

And they would make love to us...

and come on our faces.

Are you telling me something

you're imagining?

Let's get ii up.

Ready.

Let's go.

Do you need workers?

I'm qualified.

Are you doing interviews

in all the houses'?

Have you done this before?

And you, Sister?

What does your family think

of you living so far away'?

The Lord is my family.

- And the Lord is everywhere.

- Amen.

Amen.

Look, that dog may be valuable...

but we didn't buy it,

we found him on the streets.

Purebred dogs left on the streets?

They abandon them so their champions

won't breed with mongrels.

It's necessary, Father.

Prayer and a little recreation.

What's going on with Father Ramirez?

There's no information about him.

There are no files. I called Santiago,

and they can't help either.

I was told he arrived here

in the late '60s...

but beyond that...

nobody knows,

and he doesn't remember.

Where do you want me to put this?

- When are the races?

- Sunday at 4:
00.

- Can I have two sea bass?

- Two?

- With heads and spines removed, please.

- Sure.

My God.

I don't think he's dangerous.

Neither do I.

Deep down, he's a good man.

Please. That guy wants

to take advantage of us.

- We need a gun.

- Father Silva, please.

Don't you want to defend yourself?

He'll humiliate us, harass us.

- He'll do terrible things to us.

- It's okay.

I don't know about you,

but I don't wish to be penetrated.

That word is not very holy, Father.

Then, let's call the police.

This spiritual director...

would place his hand like this...

and would say...

Come.

And the idiots would go to him.

No, but wait.

They would go to him.

And I, reluctant, but an idiot,

because I don't have spiritual directors...

felt like a magnet, like this.

Right?

Come. Come! Come!

Of course.

Okay-

From now on, the consumption

of alcohol is forbidden in this house.

- More prayer, less outings.

- Forbidden? No.

More penance, less dog.

More vegetables, less chicken.

More vegetables, less-

What's wrong?

There are no doors or keys in this house,

so you can leave whenever you please.

But as long as you live under

the church's roof, you'll follow its rules.

And right now, for you,

I am the church!

- I am the church!

- No.

How many years of priesthood

are there between all of us'? Sh*t!

Sister, take him to his room.

- Take him immediately.

- Father, come. Come.

Come here. Come. Stand up.

Careful. Be careful. Come.

Criminals!

Let's go.

Come on. Be careful. Come.

Come on.

When I was a missionary in Africa,

we would give a goat to each family.

That goat would produce milk,

meat and cheese.

It would allow them to grow.

That goat gave them life.

When the goat got old...

they would offer it as a sacrifice

to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Father.

What does this dog offer this house?

Affection.

Avarice.

- You have to get rid of the dog.

- No.

If I let you keep that dog,

you will keep on betting...

and I cannot allow that.

- Get a cat.

- I don't like cats.

Look at yourself.

A cat would suit you better.

- Excuse me?

- The commissions.

The commissions?

The commissions.

How much did you make?

Not as much as you.

You are a Vatican bureaucrat...

who travels in first class

and stays at five-star hotels.

I can smell your perfume from here,

Carolina Herrera for Men.

You buy it at duty-free shops.

Am I wrong?

How long has it been

since you were in a parish?

With people, suffering people.

With women who cannot bear children.

With girls who don't want their children

and want to throw them in the trash?

Why? Why such injustice?

So God gave me a mission-

to save lives.

To bring happiness to those couples

that cannot have children, Father.

Father, we're talking about

the kidnapping of live children...

who are given to other mothers

that are not their own.

And after a funeral

with an empty coffin-

- What else could I do?

- With a 17-year-old mother in tears-

Those girls didn't want

to have those children.

It's a question of social class.

You understand that, don't you?

Of your social class.

They couldn't have them,

they didn't want to have them.

They rejected them!

They wanted to throw them in the trash!

I only saved lives, sir.

Now there are blondes in the slums.

And dark-skinned kids

in the upper-class neighborhoods...

with families that love them

and take care of them.

Has it ever occurred to you

that you're a criminal?

What else do you do in this house?

I count the slices of bologna.

I make sure nobody puts

too much butler on their bread.

I count the tablespoons of sugar.

I count the bulbs that burn out.

I count the needles

so they don't get lost.

I keep track of how long

they spend in the bathroom.

Long showers are forbidden.

Where do you hide the gun?

No guns.

You know who carries those.

Why ask me?

To know what to do.

But if you've noticed,

everything is fine here now.

He was very sick when he arrived.

That's why he killed himself.

- Why were you sent here?

- During Pope John Paul's visit...

something terrible happened to me.

I had to quit college, ended up

in a convent and became a nun.

First in Brazil and then in Boston,

some time ago.

But then I went to Africa.

Black Africa.

I adopted a girl

and brought her here with me.

After a while, they took her away from me

because they said I beat her...

and gave her to another family.

But I never laid a hand on her.

It was my mother

who said I beat the girl...

because she didn't want

a black granddaughter.

But you are no longer a nun officially.

So I called an uncle

who had some connections...

and told him I had to pay for my sins...

and needed to do my penance.

So he called me,

asked me if I liked the sea...

and told me I would be a jail keeper.

We're going to have to

close down this house.

- That's not necessary.

- Why not?

No one else will die here.

Hi. Do you need a hand?

- Do you need a hand?

- No, thanks, buddy.

Are you from Santiago?

From Las Condes.

- And you?

- From Santiago.

- Where exactly?

- Downtown Santiago.

But I've lived here
