When they come to ask for breakfast.

Just tel them "I don't have any".

"I can't get any".

Go f*** yourself, madam.

Go f*** yourself, sir.

Sometimes I can't even

look them in the eye.

This has never happened to me.

I'm full of anger.

And it gets worse day after day.

I'm afraid.

I don't want to end up

hating everyone.

Come on, Julin.

You don't know how to hate.

You are suffering.

Let's pray.

Let's pray.

Julin, I wanted to talk to you

about something that concerns me.

Are you aware that the Mugica file

is sort of locked down?

- Yes.

- We tried the martyrdom angle...

But the Roman law won't accept

he was murdered

for his Catholic ideals.

That's why I thought

the miracle angle would work better.

- Miracle?

- Yes...

How do I fit in this entire scheme?

I don't get it.

There's a woman,

at the Rodrigo Bueno slum...

Doctors said she had

not more than two months...

But she healed!

It's said

that she prayed to Mugica.

Go see her. Dig around.

Maybe we can use her story

on the file.

You stay still

There you go!

- Nervous?

- No!

Come walk with us

Holy Mary come.

Come walk with us

Holy Mary come.

Jesus spoke to his disciples...

Ye know that they which are

accounted to rule

lover the Gentiles

exercise lordship over them,.

And their great ones

exercise authority upon them.

But so shall it not be among you...

but whosoever of you

will be the chiefest,

shall be servant of all.

For even the Son of man

came not to be ministered unto,

but to minister,

and to give his life

as ransom for many.

This is the word of God.

Today is the thirty seven

anniversary

of the death and martyrdom

of Father Carlos Mugica.

The slum is very different now

than it was then.

We have new problems.

We are a lot more.

But we are here.

And I find absolutely

the same spirit in all of you.

Because we are all united.

Today we remember a brother...

a friend...

And in his memory...

we are united.

To confront violence...

To fight violence with love.

Violence today

is not the same as in the past,

but our love is the same.

That's why today...

at the parish founded...

by our beloved Father Mugica,

The Cristo Obrero Parish,

we are going to witness

an act of faith. Of birth.

The same way the slums

have seen doctors, teachers,

lawyers...

today...

our brother Danilo

devotes himself to God.

Today we will have a new Father...

A son of Villa 31.

- Danilo!

- Hooray for Danilo!

The slum parties tonight!

- Careful. It's hot.

- These look real y good!

- A Frenchman in charge of the grils!

- I'm not French, a**hole!

- I'm Belgian!

- It's all the same!

Are you going to finish it

or give it back?

I'm sorry!

- Excuse me!

- It's okay.

Here doggie. Here.

Do you want some beer?

Here, have some beer.

- What is it?

- I'm sick!

- Open the window...

- I think I'll...

- Stop the car!

- I can't stop here!

Open the window...

Stop the car!

This is gross!

- Are you okay?

- Lay on your back.

Open the window!

Take this.

- Are you okay?

- Are you okay?

Easy. Breathe.

- Open the window!

- Yes.

Breathe.

This is Tatiana.

This is Father Nicolas.

- Hello.

- Okay...

- There is Monito

- Esteban!

- How are you?

- Hello, Father!

Hold on a bit more.

You'll be well soon.

I am we I. Can't you tell?

You're still kind of skinny...

That's because

I've got a girfriend...

- Really?

- One of the girls here.

- What's her name?

- Ana.

Ana? How is that going?

Cool! I'm having a good time.

You have no idea what you're missing.

- It's so good...

- I know.

When was the last time

you were with a girl?

Many years ago...

But you were already a priest!

That's a sin! A sin!

I missed you, Father.

Me too.

Being here is good for you.

- Congratulations.

- Thanks.

Words that use G-E-

and sound like a J.

- Let's see? With G?

- Gernimo.

Very well!

Or "messenger".

Any others?

- Passenger.

- Passenger, challenger...

Give me some more...

Any other with G-E?

Genie, gentle, German...

Gelatin...

Geometry, geology, gene, gender...

Genera, generic,

genera ity, generation...

Here. Start setting up for mass.

It needs a good cleanup.

I'm going to bless a house

and then I'll go buy hosts and wine.

But take a good look while cleaning.

Some dogs got in there...

Rosa didn't lock up...

Are you listening?

Yes.

- Hello...

- Hello.

Come lend me a hand with the kids,

we are flooding here...

Go play elsewhere!

You are getting us all wet!

Father Mugica came to me

in a dream...

I told him I was ill,

and that my faith in recovering

was lost.

Talk to me about how you felt

before Father Mugica

appeared to you.

I was sure my life

was getting to an end.

I couldn't walk,

my head was not responding...

Can you understand, Father,

what feeling like that is?

- Yes.

- I thought I was going to die.

But God, and faith...

like the Father taught me,

saved me.

The doctors say it was a miracle.

How do you say nose in French?

Nez.

What about eyes?

Yeux.

Have you ever thought

of starting a family?

Yes.

That's when I force myself

to stop thinking.

How can my calling...

live alongside my desire

for a family?

Is it possible?

Don't you feel lonely sometimes?

Yes...

Sometimes.

But not now.

Never mind.

- Julin!

- Yes...

- I went to City Hall.

- Did they pay?

They say it's

the construction company

who is holding the money.

Who is holding the money.

Yes, sure. They blame each other...

But you guys

are the construction company.

- What do you mean us?

- The bishopric, Julin!

- I don't get your point.

- You need to talk.

I can't do much more.

The ball's on your side now.

I can't do much more.

The ball 's on your side now.

Come here, please.

What?

- I have to leave the slum.

- Why?

- I can't take it no more.

- What about the kids?

The work...

All we still need to do.

There's nothing else I can do.

That's why I have to leave.

- I'm sorry...

- I don't get you.

- You have to forgive me.

- This is not about forgiveness.

I'm a good man Julin, you know it.

The only thing I ask...

is to be forgiven

when the time comes.

I don't know what you did, Cruz,

but I think you need

to forgive yourself to start with.

- You can keep painting.

- The pigs are coming! Run!

- What is it?

- Run! The pigs are coming!

Come on! Come on!

- The pigs are here! Run!

- Hey! What is it?

No! Watch out!

Hurry up man!

- Come on! This way.

- Mutherfucking pigs!

Come!

Get inside the chapel!

F***!

Come!

- Nicolas! Get inside the house!

- Julin!

- Hold on! Who is in charge?

- What should I do, Julin?

Take the kids to the house!

Take them! Hold on!

Hold on!

Please don't! Don't!

Don't!

Listen to me, please!

Stop it! Get out of here!

Stop throwing stuff at them!

Get inside!

Let's go!

Motherfuckers!

Yanina!

Give her to me!

Has anyone seen her mom?
