Where is your mom?

Has anyone seen her mom?

Come here!

Come with me!

Okay. Ready.

We're here.

Close it. Close the door.

Close the door.

Open the door, Father.

Open the door.

I can't open. You can't come in.

- You know these are all crooks. Open.

- Only with a warrant.

- Come back with a warrant.

- We'll be back.

- Get a warrant.

- I sure will.

- Okay. I'll be waiting.

- I'll be back.

Hold on...

- Julin!

- What is it?

What is it, Julin?

Bring some water! Water!

- What is it?

- Call an ambulance!

Get a doctor! Julin!

Breathe quietly. Relax.

Let's get him up. Easy.

- Easy. Easy.

- Make way!

Make way up there!

This is the Lamb of God

who takes away the sins of the world.

Happy are those

who are called to his supper.

Lord, I am not worthy

to receive you,

but only say the word

and I shall be healed.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

- How are you?

- How's everyone?

You scared us.

We're scared.

- Is everyone okay?

- Yes.

- Good.

- How do you feel?

Great.

My throat is sore...

- I'll need some clean clothes.

- Sure.

I thought you knew.

Now I understand why you are here.

- How is she?

- Confused, I guess.

- Just like me.

- You are not confused.

You are only thinking on yourself.

You forgot about the rest of us.

I know. I know!

- It's not easy for me.

- What will you do?

You can't be selfish!

What will happen to the project?

- With the people, the parish?

- I don't know!

I don't know.

You need to decide

what to do with all this.

We don't have much time.

What's with this strike?

I'm trying to get your money.

We can't even pay for our food!

You do realize we are trying

to do everything we can. Don't you?

- It's not enough.

- Excuse me Father...

You take care of the church

and let me handle things here.

Our problem is not about faith,

will and the Holy Father.

It's about money.

All you need to do is

get them to pay. That's it!

I'm going every day, Domingo,

to try to find out what's going on.

Easy to say for you!

You have a house of your own.

I am working

so you can have a house too.

You can't talk to me like that!

- Why do you go to Town Hall every day?

- So you can get a home too, a**hole!

You're going for your cut, right?

How much did you get?

- We'll find a solution...

- How much did I get?

Get out of here!

F***ing a**hole!

Go sleep under the bridge, f***er!

F*** off, b*tch!

What are you doing?

I'm sick of this.

Why on f***ing earth

did I get involved in this?

I'm tired.

Leave. It's probably easier.

Easier?

Do you know what it takes

for me to come here every day?

I know it's hard.

It's hard for me too!

I didn't choose to be here.

But I can't do it on my own.

If you leave...

I need you.

I'm sorry.

I can't take it any more.

Hold on.

- Wait!

- What?

We'd better not.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

So what did they tell you?

I don't know for sure.

I'm fine. I feel good.

What happened with the chapel?

We finished sealing the roof.

- Is it good?

- Yes.

It shouldn't filter any more.

Julin.

I'm not lying to you.

I'll tell you as soon as I know more.

- Who helped with the roof?

- Nicolas.

- Do you know where he is now?

- No.

- He conducted mass.

- Really?

How come you don't know

where he is?

Open up!

- Who is it?

- Coming!

- Come on!

- Beware, Julin!

- Monito! Are you on the run?

- No, Father...

It's your fault Sandoval got caught!

- What?

- You are working for the cops, right?

- For the cops? What do you mean?

- Be very careful! I mean it!

- Who sent you? Who?

- Esteban!

You've been warned, Father!

Did you know anything about this?

No.

Excuse me!

Let me through!

Please! Let me through!

Let me through, please!

It's just a second!

What happened? I need to go!

- You can't.

- I need to go! Please!

Please! I need to go!

Father! Father! Come!

- Where is it?

- It's up there!

It's up there, Father!

Oh no! Cruz...

There he is...

How are you?

Fine.

I just can't believe it.

How did I not see this?

They say Monito

is working for Sandoval.

I know nothing about that...

- I can't find him anywhere.

- How long since you saw him?

A couple of days ago.

The cops were here last night.

They tore the place down and beat me.

They also told me Monito killed

the pig working at the parish.

- That Sandoval ordered the kill.

- Nonsense! Where did they get that?

Have you seen Monito?

- Do you know where he is?

- Have you seen Monito?

- What about you, man?

- What's up, dude?

- Hey you! Have you seen Monito?

- Cut the crap, man!

- You son of a b*tch!

- Cut it out, man!

- Stop it! Let him go!

- I'm going to whack you, man!

- You're going down, piece of sh*t!

- He is not here...

- I'm going to get you! You junkie!

- Let's go.

Come on everyone. Get up.

We need to go.

It's done.

The construction is stopped.

It's done. Let's go.

- Come on girls. Come on.

- This is so rotten, man!

We are a lot of families

in need...

Come on. Get up.

Let's go. Come.

Come on. Let's go.

It's on us now...

Maybe we have to do it

ourselves...

Let's go.

Hai Mary, full of Grace.

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners now,

and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Hai Mary, full of Grace.

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

pray for us sinners now,

and at the hour of death.

Amen.

and at the hour of death.

Amen.

- I'm going with them.

- No. You stay.

- Let me go.

- It's madness! Think about it!

- I have.

- You're going to ruin everything!

Nicolas!

Marta.

You and Domingo go that way.

Come this way.

Start gathering there.

Come this way! This way!

Move that horse out of here!

You too! Move!

Let's pile wood right here.

Bring some of the people

over here!

This way!

Leave your stuff here!

Come on!

Bring all your stuff here.

We have taken the lands, now we

will build the houses on our ownl

The land is ours

We will not step back

We will not surrenderl

We will build the housesl

- Thanks, Father.

- There you go.

- Thank you Father.

- Are you okay?

We'll get some water

and blankets too. Okay?

It's not the first time

it happens.

I understand the frustration,

the anger.

I feel it myself.

But it's not our job

to get the building finished...

We can help the negotiation...

We can contribute our effort...

Or we can do nothing

while the project fails...

We've been in the city slums

for more than 60 years.

Do you think that's doing nothing?

- It's not enough.

- I don't know what to do then.

- Hello! Do you want water?

- Yes, water!

- Thanks, Luciana!

- You're welcome.

- Everything okay?

- The cops are going to kick us out...
