根据约瑟马力亚1875年所著小说改编
艾达马 墨西哥,2002年
不了,谢谢
-你要去圣马他吗? -不,我要去洛斯雷耶
你住在那里?
我和孙子在圣马他要开一间店铺
我把他们给我的钱存起来
如果店铺经营得不好 我就投靠到另一边
-我有个女儿在那儿 -那很好,好极了
-开灯,笨蛋! -晚安!
-手举起来! -你们被抢了!
你看什么? 该死的女人
把表给我,妈的!
快点!赶快,笨蛋!
表啊,妈的!
这是什么?
-给我! -项炼
别慢吞吞的!赶快,笨蛋!
好了,我们走!
-祝你们有个愉快的夜晚 -有个美好的旅程
拿着
会有点帮助的
-你在这里干嘛? -小宝贝!
我以为你在艾达马 你没找到工作吗?
-嗯... -怎么了?
我受雇于独立组织
恭喜你!
我专程来看你
-我还是你爸? -你,只有你,爱米莉
我们可以结婚了
-别人会看见啦 -来嘛,我们聊聊
-我必须上教义课 -教义课是下午的课
他们正在准备第一次的圣餐式
那我怎么办?
-我明天再来看你 -我明天不行
你一定行的
明天八点见,好吗?
好了,游戏结束了,过来这边
崔萍娜,你为什么不开始上教义课?
-这些孩子啦! -别玩了
球给我
把球给我
你们不要再玩了
球给我!球给我!
请问,在哪里可以找到本尼托神父?
谢谢,在那边
-谢谢你 -不客气
球给我,球给我
-他是谁? -我不知道
你就是阿马罗神父
主教跟我说过很多有关你的事 我迫不及待想见到你
我最近才任职的
那就对了,正因为你这么年轻又亲切
他认为让年轻的神父到这儿磨练一下
然后送去罗马研习道德神学或教会法
-神父,我只想供奉上帝 -是啊,当然
那正是他把你交给我的缘故 要测试你一下
要记住,神职人员不发牢骚的
来呀,我带你看看教区的房子
不怎么大间
这里是礼拜堂
主教要我们开设一所神学院...
...在辖区内研习圣经、布道
我们每个月照常开会 但是没什么进展
厕所在那儿,你的房间在尽头那边
桑加娜里负打扫 我在她那儿吃中、晚餐
你也一样
那不会花太多的时间
如果你让我和主教满意的话 你待在这儿,只是暂时的
谢谢
怎么了,多克? 战况如何?
我正好紧逼着你爸
-嗨,爸 -你好,儿子
你不跟爱米莉出去吗?
她不行,她教义课要上一整天
我跟你说,她的脑子被祈祷者搅乱了
你为什么不找更懂变通的女孩?
-不是吃圣饼的! -异教徒,轮到你了
我要将你一军
当你想要一个激怒他们的故事就跟我说
我会给你这地方所有神职人员的资讯
I我有这些笨蛋的内幕消息
帕可,我跟你说
双将
去你妈的!
你为什么趁我跟他说话的时候将军?
是的,唐加托
我收到你送的钱,但是我没办法兑换
我很感激你
是
我会跟工程师说的
你要去哪里?
去厕所
你想在什么时候进行洗礼?
是啊,唐加托 当然,那是件好事
我会去的

上帝的羔羊带走世界的罪恶
幸运的人们受邀参加上帝的晚餐
上帝,我不值得受到您...
...但只要说"上帝",我就能痊愈
基督圣体
-基督圣体 -阿门
基督圣体
爱米莉喜欢新来的神父
-那个神父是你的新欢? -你疯了?
-我来了,不是吗? -你从未参加圣餐式
-我不信那玩意 -上帝吗?
你关心大众比关心我们还多
你相信上帝吗?
也许,但不是神父化身为祂的方式
鲁本,你是共产党!
-别傻了 -再见,爱米莉,上帝保佑你
我回来了,小莎洛美
我带了你的药 基督圣体
阿门
-如果你喜欢的话,就告诉我 -谢谢
阿古斯提纳
神父!
这位是阿马罗神父
欢迎
很高兴认识你，神父
-幸会 -我也是
我女儿告诉我
你非常年轻又很帅
神职人员既不年轻也不帅
我们是上帝的使者
我说错什么了吗?
别担心,他只是个爱抱怨的老头子
你来对地方了,这里有全镇最好吃的
我这儿有杂烩...
...和一些豆类食品
-豆类食品 -真的?
-你呢? 你的鸡汤 -谢谢
星期六下午,我们要开会 我告诉你有关...
...辖区神职人员
主教很担心纳塔里奥神父
他非常固执
午安,神父
-午安 -午安
你喜欢喝什么? 汽酒还是一杯冰啤酒?
水就可以了
她是桑加娜里的女儿
我想为前几天的事道歉
-我从没把你当作神父 -现在你知道了
-你呢,龙舌兰酒,对吗? -没错
我没告诉你有关我们进行中的建设
什么建设?
辖区城镇郊外的一间诊所
-主教要我盖的 -我可以带他去诊所
不行
马丁会去,那是教堂司事该做的
去干活
这就是?
哇!
我没想到这么大,天哪,真大!
本尼托神父说是诊所 但它可以当作医院
来这边看看
这边是老人们的家
这里盖孤儿院,剩下的盖病房
这里的人捐献都非常地慷慨
特别是镇长和他太太安帕里托
-她非常虔诚 -午安
我看你受到打击
跟男朋友吵架
-和你一起参加弥撒的男孩? -就是那个大笨蛋
-你们分手了吗? -不,只是不相爱了
你知道我唯一奉献给谁吗?
只有上帝
哦,那很好
小心!小心!
-我没注意到 -你还好吧?
-我没事 -真的?
-谢谢你,神父 -不,别这样
早安
-早安 -你好.
桑加娜里? 你好吗? 我是鲁本
爱米莉在旁边吗?
这是我第三次打给她了
请跟她说,我必须跟她谈谈
她有我的电话号码,12-34-26转117
告诉她,我很想她
好,再见,非常感谢你
很不错
神父,神父
现在你知道我的罪恶 我希望你了解我的美德
这是给女士的圣餐
她赐予我一个大奇迹
我的丈夫送这个
是给医疗中心的
谢谢
我是安帕里托,镇长的太太
谢谢
-圣母玛利亚 -想法无罪
孩子,跟我说你的罪恶
-你没有罪恶吗? -是的
神父,我承认自己非常淫荡
你所谓的淫荡是指什么事?
我非常热情
我喜欢亲我男朋友和抚摸自己
-你们互相抚摸吗? -没有
我抚摸自己而已
在浴室淋浴时
我喜欢水淋在身上的感觉 然后我爱抚自己
那算是罪恶吗?
不算
感官享受不算是罪恶
身体和灵魂是一体的,那是正常的
可是当我爱抚自己...
...我闭上眼睛就想到...
就想到什么?
耶稣
什么耶稣?
我们的上帝
那算是罪恶吗?
算,那是罪恶
她出生时,母亲就死了
一直都像这样
她不能走路,像个小动物
有时候又正常
她是个女孩?
她叫盖特赛玛妮 是本尼托神父授予她的教名
她能说话吗?
当她想说的时候
来,盖特赛玛妮,跟阿马罗神父打个招呼
你好,你好
但她了解一切
神父,你认为恶魔在她体内吗?
当然没有
本尼托神父曾为她驱魔
医生们怎么说?
他们什么都试过,而且都没有用
不但医生没办法,连巫师也没辄
我刚才给她吃一些药...
...要让她平静下来!
就是这样,就是这样,小心,小心
快射!小心,小心!
-得分! 射得好! -不,神父,他越位了
-射门得分了 -他越位了
你都没看比赛
关掉它,妈的
-只剩五分钟了 -一分钟都没有
去做事吧,我不认为会有什么希望了
盖文神父在厨房 我们可以看完这场比赛
无关紧要,你刚刚说什么?
这场比赛啊,有其他的吗?
阿马罗神父在发表他的单身看法
是的,如果单身生活是非必要的...
...教会就可以省掉很多麻烦,不是吗?
胡说八道!
你去看墨西哥大师 好过结束单身生活的誓言
此外,我们关心什么呢?
我们所关心的...
...就是你被控告的罪名...
...纳塔里奥神父
-这关乎什么呢? -大家请让一让!
你们一定从未尝过像这样的东西
欢迎阿马罗神父--主教的最爱
-别这么说 -为什么不能说?
主教是这么告诉我的
"这是我钟爱的孩子,他让我感到喜悦"
-不要亵渎,盖文神父 -抱歉,但是真的
自己拿,自己拿,你要舔舔自己的手指
在我们知道之前,他们称他为辅助主教
不
我想知道我被控什么罪名
你该死的解放神学效应
什么是解放神学必须做的呢--?
主教有非常正确的消息 纳塔里奥神父...
...你是保护或是帮助...
...游击队在你的辖区
什么游击队?
你供他们武器或藏匿他们
骗人! 那不是真的
根本没有游击队,只有毒品大王
阿古拉兄弟是毒品商 加托阿古拉的手下
-我在谈游击队 -我在谈毒品商
这种侵入农地、强迫人们种植婴粟花...
...还有,如果拒绝为他们工作 就恐吓或杀掉他们的...
职业杀手和毒品商
他们在我的辖区内谋杀我的族人!
主教知道你在帮游击队
然后主教知道加托阿古拉 利用捐献进行洗钱
都是为了你的医疗中心
-你根本什么都不知道! -我全都知道!
我知道辖区内发生的事
纳塔里奥神父,如果你不听我的 就面对后果吧
纳塔里奥,不要破坏我们的聚餐 让我们吃得开心点
-我喝得醉醺醺 -我撑他这一边
一、二...
但是那些辣椒酱怎么样?
-他们不惊喜吗? -是啊
特别为了你...
...上帝的最爱
谢谢你,盖文
小心点
阿马罗 我很乐意你来拜访我的辖区...
...越往山上去 你就可以看到我们如何工作
你所说的捐献是什么?
我很怀疑,可是我真的不知道
我想我离得太远了,对吗?
对不起
为什么不再理我?
你也知道的
但是当他主持弥撒时,我可以来
看在上帝的份上,不要考验我的忍性
不然爱米莉不在家时,你可以来我家
你不再关心我了吗?
对不起,神父
-你有衣服要洗吗? -我都自己洗,谢了
我很高兴能见到你,因为...
...唔,我想要...
...请你帮忙
是爱米莉
她和要好的男朋友分手
最可怜的是他的心都碎了
我要怎么帮呢?
神父,你对她的影响力很大
说服她跟他和好
我试试看,但是我不能说服她不想要的
尽管去做,帮她不会伤害到你的
让她快乐
好
你会好一点的,好吗? 首先第一件事
The body of Christ. Amen.
- You old bitch! - No, no, Martin!
No, Martin, no!
I'm here for Father Benito.
Just a second.
- Father. - Yes?
Someone to see you. He looks like a hit man.
Yes, I'm all ready.
- Where are you going? - To a baptism.
- Where? - At the hacienda.
What hacienda?
Son, you ask more questions than the bishop. The hacienda.
Tiburon.
Welcome, Father Benito.
Here I am, Don Chato. Here I am.
- You look well. - Yes.
- Everything in order? - Everything.
- And this mess with the dollars? - I exchanged them at a very good price.
- Where is the little one? - Over there.
You're going to get stuffed with succulent barbecue.
I can't eat too much or I won't fit into my vestments.
Tell me, when are you going to visit the clinic?
I baptize you with the name of Maria Elena...
...in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit...
...Amen.
Nice pictures?
I'd like to buy some from you.
I'd pay you well.
I'm in a lot of them.
I work for Mr.Aguilar.
I don't even develop them. I give him the film and that's it.
That's too bad.
Galarza wants to see you.
Thanks.
What's up?
Look at this, Ruben.
Chato Aguilar.
And Father Benito.
The priest is from your hometown, right?
How did you get these?
A present someone brought me.
Someone who wants to fuck over Chato Aguilar.
Chato Aguilar or Father Benito?
I could just publish them and be done with it...
...but it's worth investigating. It's a big story.
Interested?
It's my town, everyone knows me there.
If you don't want to do it, I'll give it to Ramiro.
It's up to you.
Fuck it. I'll do it.
And not just the hospital center, there's more.
Then the whole construction is with Chato Aguilar's money.
That's right. Here are the contracts, costs...
Goddamn, this is a lot.
And there's still more.
Here are testimonials from people in the mountains.
What's that about?
About Father Natalio.
A guy named Natalio Perez who lives in the hills and joined the guerrilla.
Didn't you know?
No. Hey, but where did you get all these facts?
Son, a lot of investigating...
...and some help.
You know, I should have been a reporter.
- Thank you. Could I have more lime? - Oops. Sorry.
Forgive me.
Great! This will boost circulation in a hurry. Damn!
You almost didn't make it, man.
See you around.
Hello.
Here you are, Don Matias.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Have you seen this, Sanjuanera?
CHURCH LINKED TO DRUGS AND GUERRILLA
Holy Mother of God!
And I thought you were the one paying for the hospital center.
What we gave would only have been enough for a clinic.
But damn Father Benito wanted more.
Did you see who signed the article?
- Ruben. - What Ruben?
Ruben de la Rosa. The son of Don Paco, the heretic.
Damn Father Benito, son of a...
You have to do something, Gordo. You're the mayor.
No way!
You have to keep your distance from priests, like Benito Juarez said.
Father Natalio is late.
You can bet he isn't coming.
I told him not to mess with the rebels. But he was pig-headed!
The accusations against him aren't clear and refutable.
The journalist states opinion, not facts.
He says his people have nothing to do with guerrillas.
I believe him.
And what about Chato Aguilar, Father?
That's an entirely different thing.
I always thought... have thought...
...that we shouldn't be too picky about money for good works.
- Even if it comes from Chato Aguilar? - It's laundering drug money.
The true cleansing is in the eyes of God.
It is bad money that turns good.
Yes, hello?
Yes, speaking, Bishop.
I want to tell you...
Yes, yes, but...
I understand, Bishop.
Yes, yes.
As you wish. If you'd like, I can go tomorrow.
Oh. I'll tell him right away.
Yes.
Conceived without sin.
Do you want me to go with you?
No, not me. He doesn't want to see me.
He just wants you to go.
Extension 15, please.
You are a son of a bitch, Ruben!
Idiot, dope, faggot, damned apostate!
Renegade, asshole...
...two-legged insect!
It was all a lie, wasn't it, Father?
What?
What the newspapers say about Father Benito.
Pure slander, Martin.
I think the devil came to this town many years ago, Father.
He built his lair here.
The bishop is expecting you, Father.
Wait here, Martin.
What a joy to see you, son! Come in, come in.
Put me through to the mayor of Los Reyes, Sister.
- Have a seat. - Thank you.
We are here to address heaven's issues on Earth.
See why I sent you to Los Reyes?
That Benito is a calamity. Look at the scandal he got us into.
All because he is so stubborn about having a first-world hospital.
Did you know about Chato Aguilar, Monsignor?
Where sin is plentiful, grace will be more plentiful, son.
Even saints make mistakes. The important thing is to recognize them.
Don't make a sour face. For God all things can be remedied.
I already spoke with the director of that rag.
We're going to publish a rebuttal.
You will write it.
Yes, Sister?
Hello?
Gordo.
The bishop is on the phone.
Those priests. I'm not going.
No, no.
At your service, Bishop.
No, no. It's just a lot of noise about nothing.
No, Bishop. Don't say that. I can't say I gave all that money.
It's in the millions. They'll lynch me.
Oh, that's okay.
If you take responsibility for half, I'll vouch for the other half.
Fine. Perfect. I'll send the fax to the newspaper tomorrow.
Yes, Bishop.
See you later.
- Will everything be all right now? - Yes, yes, yes.
There's no worse politics than black politics.
Fucking priests.
Don't let your party hear you, they'll burn you alive.
I govern for the people, not the party.
No shit?
For his activities, I'll take Father Natalio out of his community.
He swears there are no guerrillas in his area.
I'll lock him up with the nuns. Let him take care of them.
- Bishop, if you will allow me an opinion-- - Relax, son.
I know how tiresome all this is for you.
But first we have to get the work done. Then you will come to my side...
...and learn to run the diocese.
- Thank you. - Goodbye, son.
Isn't that excessive?
No, it seems fair to me.
What if we decide not to run your rebuttal?
Your newspaper is doing well.
The readers have trusted us for years.
We always report the truth.
And is truth supported by readers, or ads?
It would only take the bishop one phone call...
...to end the advertising.
He wouldn't do such a thing, of course.
The rebuttal is to go on the front page, in big type.
The mayor's statement, well...
...put that wherever you like.
But I can't fire de la Rosa.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
Just find him a job somewhere else.
Come in, Ruben.
- You know Father Amaro, don't you? - Yes.
Well, Mr.Galarza, nice to meet you.
But these are all lies.
What I wrote was the facts, not this bullshit!
I'm talking to you, asshole!
- Think you can make a fool of me? - Calm down, Ruben!
- Sit down. - This is all bullshit.
Sit down.
I'm sorry.
It gets worse.
They're asking for your head.
It was around here but I don't remember.
It's very difficult.
Go on to the curve.
On this side. It's still good.
Can I help?
Please, Father.
There it is.
Done. Thanks.
- Hello. - I'm glad you came.
You read what they printed in the newspapers?
Newspapers don't make it up here.
Let's go over there.
- Make sure those are tight, Lucas. - Okay.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Benito looks good.
He's photogenic.
With his buddy, Chato Aguilar.
That misunderstanding has been settled.
Really?
You believe that?
Then the rest is also a misunderstanding.
There are no guerrillas here.
But people have to defend themselves.
Yes, I believe you.
But I'm not speaking for myself.
I'm speaking for the bishop.
What's this?
"A decision..."
Can you imagine me in a convent full of nuns?
I'd drink all the eggnog.
It's an order from your bishop.
I don't give a shit.
You are bound to obedience, Natalio.
My only obedience is to God, and to my people.
Come up here for a few days.
Come on.
So you can see how we follow the gospel to the letter.
You could be suspended.
Maybe excommunicated.
No. Tell the bishop I said no.
He can do whatever the hell he wants.
Saint Paul tells us:
"When Jesus rises up in heaven with his powerful angels...
...in a tongue of flame...
...and takes vengeance on those who know not God...
...and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus...
...they will suffer eternal pain and ruin...
...far from the presence of the Lord...
- ...and the glory of his power." - He's right.
Dear brothers...
...slander and defamation...
...have fallen like a deluge...
...the confused mind of a brother of ours.
Our neighbor has chosen to smear the good and noble actions...
- ...begun by Father Benito. - Bastards.
All the worst for him.
Because our Lord will judge him when his time comes.
Let us be understanding.
Because the Lord tells us:
Do not allow this evil to conquer you.
On the contrary, conquer evil with goodness.
Goodness?
- What? What? - Today we can be thankful to God...
...because the slander did not trouble our consciences.
In the face of slander, shines truth.
In the face of hatred, shines love.
- Amid blasphemy, shines forgiveness. - Forgiveness?
We mustn't forgive. We can't allow that.
- Long live Father Benito! - Silence!
- Heretics! You're a bunch of heretics! - Be quiet!
- You be quiet! - Dionisia!
What racket.
Calm down. Calm down!
Heretics!
Don't be crazy!
Heretics! Heretics!
- Heretics! - Long live Christ the King!
- I have stuffed crab. - I want my chalupas, like always.
Oh, Don Matias, I'll get them in a moment.
- Good evening. - Come in.
- Where is Father Benito? - He doesn't feel well.
- What? - It's nothing serious.
No, I still have to go see him.
Tell Amelia to take charge. Excuse me.
- Good evening. - Good evening, Father.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
How are you, Father?
I so wanted to see you.
Very upset and hurt by all that's happened.
The people went too far.
Don Paco deserved it. He started the whole thing.
Don't say that, Amelia.
Luckily it wasn't serious.
How is Ruben?
I don't know.
And I don't care.
My chalupas, Amelia. What's the problem?
Nothing serious. This time it's not the heart.
He's severely depressed, but he'll come out of it soon.
With two days rest and spirit.
Keep up your spirits, Father.
- See you later. - Thank you, doctor.
I'll stop by your office to pay you later.
You see?
When will you learn?
It's the price I must pay for my sin.
What sin?
Ours.
Now wait just a minute.
When Cipriano left me...
...who was the only one who helped me? Remember?
You.
I brought you to wallow in my bed.
You gave me back my life.
I made you into the priest's whore.
And for that love, I shall go to hell.
Listen to me. What was it you told me about hell?
You don't remember, do you?
The only hell is loneliness.
Did I say that?
That's what you told me.
I hope God sees it that way, Agustina.
There, there, stop thinking.
You need to rest.
Why don't you close your eyes?
Maybe you can sleep for a little while.
If not for Doc, I wouldn't have known. That's what telephones are for.
Why should I have told you?
I didn't want you to come in this time of fanatical crusaders.
Just like living under Franco!
Well, I'm coming to get you.
- To take you to the city. - Are you crazy?
- You'll get better treatment. - I'm not moving from here at all.
Oh, Dad.
What's the matter?
You haven't gotten a job?
Oh, God. Come on, don't act like a victim, son. Lift your head up.
Lift your head up.
Smile.
That's it.
What you have to do is get a job at a newspaper with big circulation.
Because I have some news about the priests...
You're going to fall over!
Remember Father Natalio, the guerrilla?
Yes.
Well he confronted the bishop. And what do you think?
- Now they want to excommunicate him. - Wow!
- Cheers to Father Natalio! - Cheers.
Amelia!
Let go of me!
- Let's talk. - I don't want anything with you!
- Get lost! - Wait.
Don't you get it? I loathe you!
That's not true.
- Do you feel better, Father? - Better, better.
I'm not numb anymore.
Defend yourself, you son of a bitch!
Come on, faggot!
- Come on, asshole! - My goodness!
Fucking priest, don't you have any balls? Just you and me! Shithead priest!
Come on, asshole!
Son of a bitch!
You fucked up, Rubencito.
We're putting you away for three weeks, or more.
No, it's okay. I'm fine with this.
Thank you.
Ready to make your statement, Father?
No, I'm not going to press charges.
I forgive you, Ruben.
Are you crying?
Over Ruben?
No, over you.
Over all you have suffered without complaining.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost...
- Go in peace. - Amen.
- Mary, Mother of God. - Conceived without sin.
- I absolve-- - Father!
- What? - What do you mean, "what"?
- Tell me your sins. - You know them.
What about yours?
- Forgive me, I was out of line. - What do you think about love?
Love is the motor of the world, Amelia.
Love believes everything...
...expects everything...
...bears everything.
- Saint Paul says in Corinthians-- - Stop playing dumb!
About our love. What do you think about that?
It is a gift.
God blesses us through this love.
We have to be careful.
People wouldn't understand.
Go on, now. Go.
Martin.
Were you planning on going out, Father? The distributor isn't working.
No, no, I was just taking a walk around here.
Father Benito should buy another truck, don't you think?
El Gato is selling one.
How is Getsemani doing?
Getsemani?
- Have you taken her to the doctor? - Yes.
He gave her some medicine.
Do you want to come in?
I'd like that.
Hello.
What about that room? Are you using it?
My son Lencho would stay here...
...when he'd come to Los Reyes.
Martin, I want to ask you a favor.
- Do you know Amelia? - Sanjuanera's daughter.
Yes, a very pious child.
She wants to become a nun.
She doesn't want anyone to know.
And I offered to prepare her, and, well, in secret...
...but I don't have a place.
It could be here.
- Already? - Yes.
You look happy, child.
I'm so glad you finally decided...
...to tell that Ruben to bug off.
It was about time.
The cheese, child. Here.
- Excuse me. - Thank you, sweetie.
- You're welcome. - Delicious.
- Cheese? - Yes, thank you.
Pardon my hand.
- Cheese? - No, no thank you.
- You need anything? - Nothing, thank you.
- What a lovely girl. - Very pious, intelligent...
...and church-going.
Did I tell you, Father?
Amelia is going to give Getsemani catechism classes. Aren't you, Amelia?
What poppycock!
- Who is Getsemani? - A retarded child.
She doesn't understand a thing. The poor wretch can't even talk.
All the more merit.
You're wasting your time, child.
- You won't last a week. - The feeble-minded need God too.
Don't they, Father Galvan?
Yes, yes, of course. We all need God.
- Want some more horchata? - Yes, thank you.
I found a place.
Look.
This one is the Holy Spirit.
See his little wings?
This is the Virgin Mary.
And this one is Jesus...
...the baby.
Look, this man with a beard...
Look at him, he's God.
Look closely at the drawings and I'll be back to tell you the story. Okay?
Look at them.
As the lily among thorns
So is my beloved among maidens
Thy hair
Is as a flock of goats that appear From Mount Gilead
Thy lips are like a ribbon of scarlet
That's from the Song of Songs.
It's a holy book.
Thy two breasts are like two young roes That are twins
Which feed among the lilies
The joints of thy thighs are like jewels
Thy navel
Is like a round goblet Which wanteth not liquor
Thy belly is like a heap of wheat Set about with lilies
A fountain of gardens
A well of living waters
And streams from Lebanon
Thy lips, o my spouse Drop as the honeycomb
Honey and milk are under thy tongue
And the smell of thy garments Is like the smell of Lebanon
The commandments of the law of God are 10.
The first: Thou shall love God above all things.
The second: Thou shall not take the name of the Lord in vain.
The third: Thou shall observe the holy days.
The fourth: Thou shall honor thy father and thy mother.
The fifth: Thou shall not kill.
The sixth: Thou shall not fornicate.
- The seventh-- - Miss!
What does thou shall not "formicate" mean?
It means that you don't eat meat during holy week, Chente.
- The seventh. - The seventh...
Leaving, Father?
- I have to visit someone who is sick. - I came for confession.
I brought you a present. I made it for the altar to the Virgin.
It's lovely. I'll take it. Thank you, Amparito.
- Thank you. - Come visit me at my house some time.
Good afternoon, Father.
- Wait a minute. - What?
- No. - What?
Let me see it on you.
Yes?
You are more beautiful than the Virgin.
I don't want any more scandals.
Just imagine if the newspapers do another number on us.
Be patient with him, Bishop. Father Natalio is acting in good faith.
I've given him more than enough time to come around.
- May I express an opinion? - Of course, son.
That's why I call you, to advise me.
If you send him to some other peasant community...
...in another diocese, I think he would accept.
You're too good.
Well, give me time for God to enlighten me.
Did you tell the Bishop about the child Amelia?
What?
- That you are preparing her, as a nun. - Oh, yes.
We talked a long time in confidence.
I think the Bishop would like the Order of the Clares for her.
How is she doing?
Who?
The child Amelia.
With her studies, I mean.
Fine. She seems to have a vocation.
I want to love you without hiding. In front of everyone.
No, it can't be done.
Our love is unique.
What?
It's spiritual, right?
No. It's carnal.
I know, the flesh and the spirit are one and the same essence.
But it isn't true.
Lots of priests hang up their cassocks and marry.
Well, I won't.
Why not?
- We could go far away. - Where?
- Anywhere. - For what?
So I could end up teaching civics?
What about all my studies?
That's not the important thing.
No, the important thing is my vocation.
Besides, I can do so much for people as a priest.
Martin.
Do you know the Clare nuns, Father?
I think they have a convent in Santa Marta. Why?
Because little Amelia wants to become a nun with them.
Amelia, a nun?
That's what Father Amaro said.
He has been preparing her for a long time.
For a long time? Where?
In a little room, out by the workshop.
He says it's a secret.
Where is he?
She's just a child. Didn't you notice?
We both know what we are doing.
- You are a priest. - I'm also a man.
- You took a vow of chastity. - Because I was forced to.
I'm going to have to inform the bishop.
- No, you won't say anything, Father. - Just wait and see.
Then I will tell him what I know about Sanjuanera.
It's not the same thing, damn it!
Sanjuanera is different.
- That poor woman-- - It's the same, Father.
Are you blackmailing me?
The host is sacred!
You'll be damned, you little brats!
Blessed and praised be the host consecrated unto God...
Guess who called my boyfriend?
- Who? - Ruben.
He said he's working at another newspaper in Mexico City.
- What's that to me? - You still hate him?
I do.
- Why so much--? - Amelia!
I'll see you.
I need to talk to you.
- We have to find another place. - I'm pregnant.
Are you sure?
Is that all you can say to me?
May I talk to you, Father?
To confess?
No, I just want to talk.
You're in big trouble, boy.
I do want to confess.
Father, I have sinned.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
I have lied.
I have committed the sin of pride.
I abused the trust of people who opened their house to me.
Like Herod, I chopped off innocent heads.
I have offended God.
I have committed the sin of lust.
I fornicated with a virgin who was a child!
- He must go to Mexico City immediately. - I'll go with him.
How are we going to get him to Mexico City now?
It is quite a severe coronary.
But how can we take him by plane?
By anything, but hurry.
- From where? - Figure out where.
Hello? Put me through to Don Chato, please.
- Mr. Chato Aguilar. - You can't call him.
- Father Benito. - No!
We're talking about his life!
Be careful, son. He's very fragile.
It looks bad, really.
We'll get in touch later.
I'm giving you just enough time to find another job.
I didn't want to hurt you, Father.
By the time Father Benito gets back there will be another sexton here, okay?
You haven't been to the restaurant.
Nor you to mass.
We have to talk about my pregnancy.
- Have you told your mother? - No one.
I don't know what to do. I can't think.
You could go to Villa Aldama.
Stay there nine months and put the baby up for adoption.
Is that what you want?
- For me to give my baby away? - Listen to me, Amelia.
I'm a priest.
I can't jeopardize my priesthood.
Besides, you knew that from the beginning.
No!
I'll have my baby here! I don't care if everyone knows it's yours!
- Don't say stupid things. - It is yours!
Shut up, you dumb bitch! Shut up! Shut up!
Forgive me.
Ruben is here.
Ruben your boyfriend?
He's working in Mexico City. He came to see his father.
Have you seen him?
Maybe he'll want to marry me.
Would you like that?
To save my baby, I would do anything.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Can I talk to you?
Could you forget it all?
I've forgotten it.
You wanted to marry me, remember?
Yes.
I would have done anything for you.
Not anymore?
Take me to Mexico City with you.
You don't love me anymore, do you?
No, not anymore.
My love ended.
- Forgive me for blurting it out like this. - That's okay.
Of course I'm worried about his condition.
But alas, only God knows, son.
Father Benito has fulfilled his mission on earth.
Let me know when you hear anything.
Meanwhile, you take over his affairs.
You understand, right? We're going to renew construction on the hospital.
No, no, no.
What concerns me most right now is Father Natalio.
If he won't accept another diocese, I can't wait any longer.
If you can't sort it out, who can?
Excommunication, son.
A decree to be read in all the churches...
...and all over the country.
He won't even be able to get into the rural schools.
You must deliver it to him personally.
And we'll see. Either he gives in or he's fucked.
Let me know.
Yes.
Did you talk to Ruben?
Yes.
Yes, of course.
I have a suggestion, Amelia.
Do you know where Dionisia lives?
Here?
Good evening.
Dionisia?
What a surprise! What an honor!
Come in, Father dear, come in.
Look, this is my private church.
Let me introduce you to my saints.
Here is my Saint Anthony, Saint Joseph, my Virgin of Guadalupe...
- Sit down, Father. - I'm in a hurry.
Yes.
And how is the little girl?
Happy.
Listen, I heard in confession that you know a doctor...
A doctor, I don't know...
One of those who does...
Does what, Father?
Brings children into the world.
- And also... - Mother of God! The girl is pregnant?
No.
What you want is an abortion, Father.
I don't know if this is enough.
No, it takes a lot more. But don't worry.
We'll settle up later. First let me see.
- Yes. - I'll let you know in time.
God bless you, Father.
Yes.
Excuse me.
- Mother of Jesus. - Pray for him.
- Mother of divine grace. - Pray for him.
- Tower of David. - Pray for him.
- Tower of ivory. - Pray for him.
- House of gold. - Pray for him.
- Heaven's gate. - Pray for him.
- Refuge for sinners. - Pray for him.
- Consolation of the afflicted. - Pray for him.
- Aid for Christians. - Pray for him.
- Queen of angels. - Pray for him.
- Queen of the apostles. - Pray for him.
- Queen of the patriarchs. - Pray for him.
- Queen of all the saints. - Pray for him.
- Queen of the apostles. - Pray for him.
- Queen of prophets. - Pray for him.
They found Lucas in a canyon.
Three years ago they killed his father and two brothers.
Chato Aguilar's men.
What about the municipal guards?
They help them.
But someone should be told. The authorities.
If you only knew of all we've accomplished.
Things are settled differently around here. Don't worry.
Can I ask you a moral question?
Well, I don't know a lot about moral theology, but...
Ask away.
What do you think about abortion?
We don't have that problem around here.
But in your parish you do, huh?
I don't know. In some cases, one would have to consider it.
Yes.
And how is the bishop?
Look, he sent you a fax.
It's a suspension ad divinis against you.
And excommunication too.
You are out of the church now, Natalio.
You can't officiate, or give the sacraments anymore.
You have to go before the bishop.
No...
...I抦 not going before anyone.
Out of the church.
If they want to kick me out, I'm already here.
I'll stay on as just another peasant.
I chose this path.
And you?
Believe me, I admire you, Natalio.
Well, I have to go.
Holy Virgin among virgins...
...don't let me fall, or lose my way in adversity.
I have been your faithful son...
...since I was a child.
You have protected me along the path of duty.
Do not forsake me in this crucial hour.
My Mother, grant me a miracle, please.
Save me, Holy Mother.
My mother called from Mexico City.
- What happened? - They've operated on Father Benito.
They'll be back in two weeks.
That's good.
What you told me over the phone, I thought about it.
No.
No. Think about it more.
You have to do it of your own free will.
Heaven purify my soul.
My spirit is filled with emotion when I contemplate the blessings of my Lord.
You have shed your light on your servant...
Grant me a miracle, Holy Mother.
Save me.
Friday at 2 in the morning.
Bring double the amount that you gave me.
Right on time, Father.
As you should be.
And the girl?
Don't tell me she chickened out?
Too bad, Father.
Straight ahead, straight ahead.
Take the next turnoff to the left.
It's all very clean.
It's a hospital.
- Wait. I want to talk to the doctor. - You can't go in.
I'll take care of it.
- I have to see the place. - No.
The money.
Come, come, Amelita.
Everything will be fine.
Ask God to watch over you.
Pray for me, okay?
Come, Amelia, come.
Come, child.
I'll be here, I'll be here.
Good evening, young man.
- Good evening. - Don't you remember me?
- No. - We met on a bus.
When we were held up, remember?
Oh, yes.
I always remember how good you were.
There aren't people like that, anywhere.
I couldn't open the store with my grandson, like I told you.
I wandered around and around.
Until I got a job here as a night watchman and handyman.
- Here at the hospital? - That's what they call it.
You came for them to relieve your girlfriend?
I came for them to relieve me.
Don't worry. They all come out okay.
Screwed, but content.
God willing.
