Why don't you come here

and talk with me?

Or do you want me to come up?

You think I can't get up there?

One day I'll come up there to see you.

Why don't you invite me in for a snack?

Maybe you see me and think,

Where is this young man going?"

Maybe it'll be hard for me

to talk about it...

but I want to go to a place

where we can all raise awareness.

I could steal from you now, but I won't

because I don't do that anymore. Look.

Maybe you haven't seen the light.

When you consume that light,

you don't see it.

I see it, and I see you, and I say, Hey!

That lunatic came after the poor priest

to kill him, I don't know.

He screamed as if he was being stabbed.

So we took out a small gun

that we keep in case of burglaries...

and we gave ii to the priest

so he could shoot a warning shot.

But he was so distressed

that he shot himself.

- Want to close down this house?

- What do you think?

Want to send US to another HOUSE?

- People are coming after these priests.

- That's why it's not advisable.

If they asked me,

I would be declared an accessory...

and so would my accessory...

as well as the accessory

of my accessory.

All the way up,

until they got to I don't know who.

You.

Why talk now

if you haven't talked before?

No, I don't want to talk.

The last thing I want is to talk.

But if you kick me out,

I'll have nothing to lose.

You're an employee. You have to answer.

If you kick us out, I'll call the

press and tell them everything.

- Are you a priest?

- Yes.

Did you know a priest died here in town?

Yes.

- He was a great man.

- A good man. A nice man.

Why? Did you know him?

How did you meet him?

I can't remember, I was very young.

Don't tell me Father Matias raised you.

He raised me.

But he's no longer with us.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

- Do you want to pray?

- Okay.

Our Father which art in heaven...

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done-

Do you want to leave?

- Where to?

- To Santiago.

I'll make a call, and they'll come

and take you to a home.

- What do you mean a home?

- A different kind of home.

A home with a family,

without priests.

- Without priests?

- Without priests.

- Will I have my own bed?

- Yes. You'll have your own bed.

Warm.

- What's your name?

- Sandokan.

Do you think Father Matias Lozcano

went to heaven?

No.

No.

I think his soul

is still wandering around here...

because of the sins he committed.

The good news is he has you and I

to attest to his grace.

- Because he was a good man.

- Yes.

Yes.

- He was a good man, a saint.

- Yes, a saint, an angel.

- A man of God.

- An angel.

Okay-

Father Matias Lozcano was my-

Let me tell you something.

Matias Lozcano was my first man.

He was the first one I made love with.

The first man I loved

deeply and madly...

to the farthest reaches of love.

It was with Father Matias Lozcano.

And he's no longer with me.

The priest was the first person

I had sex with, both anally-

The first time, I sucked his penis...

and he showed me the grace of the Lord.

He would say that

if I swallowed the semen...

I would go directly to heaven...

because any man of God...

carries the holy semen...

because it comes from the glory

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is life.

Because the Virgin Mary-

Ultimately, God also

created her from semen.

When was the last time you ejaculated?

Have you had sex with children?

Have you penetrated them anally?

That's nice.

But I'm not a homosexual.

I lead a normal life.

I have sex with women.

Sometimes I feel I'm sinning

with the prostitutes and all that.

But when I was with the priests...

I never felt I was sinning

because they are men of God...

and all the fluids that come out of them

are the Lord's, right?

Praise be to God.

You know what? I know some children.

They're smaller than me.

Would you like to have sex

with the children I know?

And I was able

to pull a gigantic floater.

And the rest were in.

I was looking at you from behind

while you pulled that floater.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Then I came to La Boca

and started a new life.

I have my dogs,

my friends, my people.

- What kind of dogs do you train?

- Greyhounds.

Greyhounds. Great.

Yes. Racing dogs.

Only champions.

I'll be damned.

Hey, buddy.

Why did you come to La Boca?

Why specifically La Boca,

such an old, sad and f***ed-up town?

No. This town is beautiful.

Beautiful, very, very beautiful.

Truly beautiful.

Come on.

Come on.

Were you together?

We were, but not anymore.

So if you're up for it,

she's available.

Not in a million years

could you ever f*** a woman like her.

Do you always dress like that, man?

- They killed Rayo too.

- What did you say, b*tch?

- They killed Rayo too.

- What? Where?

I think I saw who it was.

He's wandering around.

They killed our dog, man.

They killed my dog with glass.

I want to ask you to help me beat up-

To chase a man out of town.

Excuse me'?

You want us to beat-

- Scare him, beat him up, hit him.

- You must be shitting me.

No. He's a bad man, really bad.

A bum who's been chasing me.

- I'm scared.

- Wait a second.

You must be shitting me.

- Wait.

- This dude is shitting us.

Shut up.

You're telling me to go find some dude?

You want me to beat up a stranger?

What's wrong with you, f***er?

You think I'm a thug?

I'll kill you, motherf***er!

I can pay you.

What?

Why don't you f*** off?

Who do you think you're talking to, f***er?

Everything was going great,

but you f***ed it up.

Hit him, man!

Please. I'm scared.

I'm a pastor. I'm a priest.

- What?

- Help me, please.

- You're shitting me.

- I'm scared.

F***ing priest.

Were there priests like him at school?

No. At school, the priests

would dress impeccably.

They spoke English and Latin.

- And the money?

- Money doesn't matter, man.

Money?

My ass!

F***ing bum.

Thank you, Sister.

You've done enough for today.

Only God knows.

He knows.

We're girls,

that's why we don't understand.

But he's the Father.

He's the only one who knows.

Are you going to kill me?

No. I can't.

Will you forgive me?

No.

No, b*tch.

No.

You have to relax.

I want you to look at these people.

Do you see them?

They are good people

and will take care of you.

- We're going to take care of him?

- Yes, you are.

What does that mean, Father?

It means he's had a difficult life,

and you, an easy one.

But now he's happy and you're in hell.

- He's not happy.

- He's better off than us.

That's why I always liked to be

with the priests and nuns.

Because that way

I'm close to our Lord.

That way I'm happier, more protected.

Maybe the brothers don't want

to share their breakfast with you.

- He could stay here.

- What? Where?

In my room. Until he gets better.

- He can't stay here.

- Why not?

Why not?

First I'd like to talk this over

between ourselves.

And I'd like to see all of you in jail.

Then call the press.

No. I love the church

and don't want to hurt it.
