A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
BASED ON TRUE EVENTS
OF CARLOS TEVEZ'S LIFE
Who is it?
Will you give him back?
He's mine.
What are you doing here?
Give me my son back.
What are you doing here? Go home.
Give me my son back.
Segundo will wake up, go home.
Who told you he was yours?
-You're out of your mind.
-Who said you could keep him?
-Segundo will wake up.
-Give me my son back!
-Go home.
-Give me my son back!
-Segundo will wake up!
-Give me my son back!
-Give him back!
-Answer her!
What's happening?
What's happening?
What is it, Chila?
What is it?
-Is it the baby?
-No, no.
I can't take it anymore.
My head is going to burst.
Calm down.
It's over.
Did you take the pill?
-Did you?
-Yes.
It's not doing anything.
Don't you want another half?
The doctor said you have to sleep.
-Come on.
-No, no.
I'm not safe here.
I'm not safe.
-We'll move out soon.
-I'm not safe.
She wanted him back.
She wanted him back.
She was in my dream, asking for Carlos.
Your sister?
It was so real, I swear. So real.
Adriana has always been
a mother figure to me.
I...
She has always been present in my life.
Just like a normal mother. A mother who...
was always there, she taught me
how to tie my shoelaces.
She has always been supportive.
Fabiana, though...
I didn't see her often.
So...
I would bump into her
and sometimes she would say hello,
sometimes she wouldn't.
Depending on the day.
Mom!
Here comes Carlitos. Tevez goes through.
Here comes Tevez, here he comes,
here comes Apache.
Tevez keeps going,
he's about to score. Tevez, Tevez!
Goal!
THE LIFE OF CARLOS TEVEZ
Trina.
I never ask for anything.
Can you... No, could you
come sign something for me?
So I can play in the championship
and not have any issues?
So I can play in the championship
and not have any issues?
All I need is your signature.
I know you will do great things.
You are not like the other morons.
What's that?
I bought it in Luján.
-Thank you, Carlitos.
-You're welcome, Grandpa.
Will you come see me play
in the first division?
Of course, Carlitos.
But now I need to rest, you know?
What happened wasn't our fault.
People have no idea,
so they talk shit.
There is the issue with my heart too.
It's tired.
It's strong, but exhausted.
I can't be stressing out.
You told me not to listen to anyone.
Your grandpa will be better off
in the province.
A change of air.
-Better than here.
-Dad! Let's go.
I'm coming.
Bye, Grandpa.
Come on, get in.
Take good care of my apartment.
-As usual.
-And take care of yourself.
Yeah, sure. Go, Dad.
TAXI
Things got out of hand.
What hurts me the most
is what happened to the pregnant girl.
It's awful.
But how would we ever imagine
he was a murderer?
The mistake was not catching him
and ending him in time.
Forget about it now.
It's over.
He won't be back.
-Take care.
-Shall we?
-Take care.
-Let's go.
Keep on the right track, Carlitos!
Train hard and don't listen to anyone!
That way you'll be a champion!
-Bye, Carlitos.
-Bye, Kiru.
-Dude!
-Bye, Grandpa.
-See you!
-Tevez! Let's go!
ENTRANCE
O.R. - WARD
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah.
I mean, this thing
is not very comfortable.
More comfortable than having
that bump on your elbow.
How long should the plaster cast stay on?
Approximately 45 days.
As long as he takes care
and doesn't mess around.
But 45 days is a lot,
I can't wait that long.
Enough, it's what he says.
But will it go back to normal?
Yes, don't worry.
It's a common injury.
Nothing serious.
Don't be a crybaby, sir.
I shouldn't have sent him away.
Why the fuck do I listen to people?
Hernán is a mess.
Cochi knows what's he's doing.
Your brother was the one
who didn't listen.
Cochi fucks you.
Is that why he knows what's he's doing?
He's more intelligent than you.
You're invisible.
Shut up or I'll fuck you right here.
We'll see if I'm invisible.
No, no.
-No.
-Why not?
No, no, wait.
Wait, Jorge, stop!
-I won't stop.
-Enough, Jorge!
Aren't you sick of Cochi?
It's over, he's a moron.
It's not fucking over!
Go to hell, fucking slut.
THREE MONTHS LATER
Relax.
Breathe, relax.
One, two, three, push!
Relax.
-Once more.
-Come on.
-It's coming.
-Come on.
You're doing great, sweetie.
It's almost over.
-Easy.
-One last time. You can do it. Relax.
-I see the head, come on.
-Relax. Like that.
There you go.
Well done!
Well done.
-Are you okay, Mom?
-Yeah.
Just a bit tired, but...
Can we see the baby?
What's her name, at least?
Déborah.
-I think they are weighing her.
-They are.
Like a package.
That's what they're doing.
Excuse me.
-Sandwiches! How nice.
-Hi!
-Hi there.
-How are you?
-Dude.
-What did you bring?
I brought sandwiches,
but they are for her. She's starving.
-One for each of us!
-Easy, kids.
They're for her, she's the one
who did all the work.
-Give me one!
-Not like that. Not on me.
-Give me one.
-Hi.
Sorry, there can only be
two of you in here.
We'll be right out.
Just a minute, I promise.
-Thanks.
-Isn't she beautiful?
-Look at the baby.
-So pretty.
You have a beautiful cousin.
She's not my cousin. She's my sister.
Segundo and Adriana are my parents.
-Goal!
-Goal!
-Goal!
-Well done, Danilo!
Well done, guys.
Well played, guys.
We just won a very important match.
And we played nicely.
That's what we do.
Very well, Danilo.
You were confident with your passes.
-You've been listening to me.
-Of course.
But I can't do everything.
I have to let the others play.
Then they mock me.
Come on, Uruguayan. Shut up, will you?
That goalie was pretty much
missing both arms.
I need you to bring me
the paper I gave you, signed.
Yes, I told my dad. He'll sign it
and I'll bring it to you.
You need it if you want
to play in the first division.
Yeah.
Are you eating with us?
No, I'm going to my grandma's.
-Okay then. See you tomorrow.
-See you tomorrow.
Don't take too long,
I don't want to be alone.
It's going to be okay. I won't be long.
Lock the door.
You can all go to our room
and watch something on TV.
If anything happens, call the cops.
What else can we do?
Alright.
Bye, honey.
Wait, here.
I washed and ironed it. Are you sure
you want to give him this one?
Yes, Mom. Thanks.
Bye.
It's okay.
-Lock the door, Chila.
-Yes.
Dad...
do we know where Hernán is?
I don't know.
And it's better that way, right?
Yes.
I saw them.
I said yes!
-No.
-Yes! Enough!
I'm sick of these stupid games!
They are not games, it's evidence.
What evidence are you talking about?
-This, for example.
-What?
Yes! You didn't want to come in
-because you're not confident.
-Make room for Mom.
That's a stupid thing to say.
I'm very confident.
Hi.
-I am.
-You're not.
Are we doing this again?
-Why don't you want to come in?
-I'm thankful for...
How can you be such a bad mother?
I was going to have a kid as well,
you know?
But thanks to you being a shitty mother...
I won't get to meet him.
You shouldn't have had him.
He shouldn't be alive.
Go, champion!
Go, champion, go!
Go, champion, go!
-Bravo!
-Bravo!
Fer, this is for you.
-What is it?
-Something I really love.
Do you want some more?
Santa Clara, right?
-Did you play there?
-Yeah.
It's the jersey I wore
when I first played.
Back then, it was too big for me.
It still is.
It's the best present I received.
You won everything in the youth leagues.
There was an Uruguayan guy, he was good.
-From Fuerte Apache, right?
-Yeah. He's my friend.
He plays for Liniers.
So we'll play against him.
You have to play better than him that day.
You can't make friends in this sport.
Fer.
Who wants cake?
I have an Independiente jersey,
from when I first played.
-Nice!
-Carlitos' gift.
I wouldn't give it to anyone.
You're nuts, Carlitos.
-Fuck you!
-Come on!
Fuck you, you old prick.
There's nothing here, motherfucker!
Why are you lying?
I swear, it was there.
Don't look at me!
Who said you could look at me?
It was there...
Okay, and now where is it?
Susana.
In the basement.
In the old washing machine.
Bitch! Why did you move it?
Respect the lady.
It's in there.
Where is it?
-In the basement, there's an old--
-Where's the basement?
-Next to the kitchen.
-Don't look!
-Where's the basement?
-Next to the kitchen.
To the right.
Look at me, bitch.
Look at me.
-No...
-Look.
No, no, stop.
-Shut up, motherfucker.
-Stop.
-Look.
-No...
-Be still.
-No!
Kill him if you have to.
-No!
-Come here!
-Come here, bitch!
-No!
-No! Let me go, motherfucker!
-Shut the fuck up.
Where the fuck is he? Motherfucker!
-He took her.
-Don't touch me!
Let me go! No!
What are you doing, you moron?
Come, fuck off.
-Come on.
-Stop.
-Let's go.
-We're off! Come on!
Come on, dude!
-Come on!
-Their parents did the job.
Fer, is this the house Boca gave you?
-It's cool.
-Yes, it's cool. This one is ours, though.
Boca gave us a shithole.
My dad chose to stay here.
What does your dad do for a job?
He's a lawyer. And yours?
He's a foreman.
He works in construction sites.
And does he do well?
Yes, he does well.
Let's start with the screed.
And then we move on to the bathroom.
Let's start now, come on.
-Hello.
-Hugo!
Would you like a sandwich?
When we finish this, it's over.
Yes, we still have a lot to do.
A couple of weeks.
No, I mean there's no more work.
I'm going back to my province.
For those who come
from the capital, it's easier.
For us who come from a province,
it's complicated.
There I have a big house,
my whole family lives there.
I'm sure you understand.
There's no money.
You know we haven't had
a big job for weeks now.
And what about the guys?
I have no idea.
I can barely look after myself
and my daughter.
I'm telling you so if something
comes up you can take it.
Now I'll talk to the guys
and pay them for their work.
I'll tell them the news.
What about what I owe you?
For the house.
The house is yours.
Guys!
Can I get a goodbye kiss?
It's not a goodbye.
I don't know when I'm leaving yet.
Anyway, give me a kiss.
Stop.
Why?
I've never had anything like this.
Me neither.
...at Bombonera Stadium.
Boca strikes back...
Who is it?
Danilo!
Hi.
Hey, you. You said you'd buy
something to eat.
-I'll go in a bit.
-Can you give me money?
Here.
Get cold meat, cheese, bread. And a Coke.
Are you looking at my girlfriend's butt
or is your nose itching?
Hey!
Cut it out, burnouts.
Do you want to adopt a kid now?
Seba, have you given
coke to your brother?
-No, not at all.
-Not at all.
Seba doesn't share.
I don't want to hear you did.
Why do you meddle in everything?
Stop lecturing everyone, man.
Lately, there's been too much crap here.
Before, there was less of that,
less hesitation. Fewer problems.
What crap?
What crap?
Do you want to see how direct I can be,
motherfucker?
You are two fuckers, you and this slut.
What the fuck is your problem?
Hey!
Drop it.
Cochi, let's go for a walk.
Open the gate.
Since when does this moron
treat you like that?
I have to take this stupid paper
to Liniers, signed by my father.
I need you to sign it.
Then I'll get something more legal.
Although when they see how I play
and how much they need me,
-they'll get it for me.
-Sure.
Nice, that's a plan!
-You always need to have a plan.
-Right.
And you have a plan, right?
She's smoking hot.
Of course.
Otherwise she wouldn't be with me.
Can I have some?
-Okay, give me your glass.
-No, the other stuff.
So you've tried it.
No. Never. No.
I'm just curious.
No, you can't have any.
Actually, if you want me
to sign this shit,
you have to promise you'll never try this.
Okay.
So you have never tried it?
No, Cochi, I said no.
No means no. Just sign it.
Now drop it.
THESE ARE MY PARENTS' SIGNATURES
What should I write? Daddy Cochi?
Daddy Cochi!
"Cochi."
Now you.
Do you remember your mom's name?
Or mine is fine?
It doesn't matter. Yours is fine.
There you go.
Don't forget what you promised.
-I know.
-Now I'm your father!
You have to obey me!
-Should we make a toast?
-Sure.
-To family.
-To family.
To Daddy Cochi!
CHICKEN TO GO
Go!
Go, Boca, go!
Go, Boca, go!
Go, Boca, go!
-Well done, guys.
-Guys!
If we continue like this, we'll be
champions for sure. Let's do it.
I can't believe it.
To win the cup playing for Boca.
It's no big deal.
It's better being the champion
in the first division.
What do you mean?
That we just got lucky?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
I'm just saying we had luck,
and we need to see that
as part of the victory.
Are you an evangelist now?
Besides, we still have
a couple of matches to go.
He may not look like it,
but he's very superstitious.
Well done, guys!
Well played, Carlos.
You keep getting better.
Well played, all of you.
Epiphany came early.
-What are these?
-Vouchers.
So you can go get
whatever you want.
Trousers, cleats, socks, whatever.
-Can I have another one?
-I have one for each, Carlos.
Well done!
Here, I have too many clothes.
Keep it for your siblings.
No offense, right?
Thanks.
Yes, I get that the kids want to play
all the time, anywhere.
What will we do
if he gets injured in the neighborhood?
We can't afford that.
-Anyway, see you later.
-Later.
-Arévalo.
-Segundo.
-Do you have a minute?
-Sure. Did you get the signature?
-Not yet.
-Then get it and then we talk.
Carlos's mom is not easy.
But he was great today.
Sure, nobody is questioning
Carlos's skills.
He's an excellent player.
He's young and has to adjust some things.
But he has a bright future.
-You know what the issue is.
-Yes, I know.
-The signature.
-Yes.
Okay, I will get it.
-I just need some time.
-Segundo, understand this.
We're two matches away from the final.
And the final is the end of everything.
What do you...?
By the end of the championship,
if we don't have the paperwork done right,
he'll be out of the club.
But you keep saying how good he is
and you'll kick him out?
If the documents are not signed,
Carlos is out of the club.
Or he is out of Boca, at least.
See you.
Whatever you want.
After all, she's your mom.
I know.
-But Adriana is my mom as well.
-Of course.
She's the one who raised you.
Don't worry.
It's your choice.
Boca is not the most important thing
in the world.
Neither is soccer.
You told me not to miss my chance.
And I think I can do well.
I don't want to miss this opportunity.
And if I fail...
I can work with you in construction.
Or am I not good at it?
Hey, man. What's up?
What did you forget now?
It's me, Carlos.
What do you need?
I need to talk to you.
What do you want to talk about?
Can I come in or we'll talk here?
Come in.
Excuse me.
What does Segundo want you
to tell me? Why didn't he come himself?
I'm here to speak for myself.
To speak for yourself?
Are you sure you haven't been brainwashed?
I'm sure.
I'm sure, Mom.
Okay, what do you want to talk about?
I want my name to be Carlos Tevez.
I can't believe this. Are you sure
they haven't been telling you crap,
brainwashing you?
Since when do you want to be Carlos Tevez?
Since a long time ago.
-And now you realize.
-No.
Also in school.
They would call me Tevez
when taking attendance.
Even in All Boys.
Some kids called me "Tevez,"
although officially I was "Martínez."
I'm not just a Martínez.
Here.
You are my son.
And my name is Martínez.
And since your father died,
you got my family name. Period.
Adriana raised me.
Because I let her.
No, because you left me.
It was the best for you.
And I was right.
I want my ID to say "Carlos Tevez."
That's what I want.
First, you are a Martínez.
Then you are a Tevez.
How many times have you seen me play?
How many of my birthdays
did you spend with me?
You never know how I'm doing.
I know you're my mom as well.
But you've been gone for a long time.
You are so lucky.
You have two moms, two dads.
Carlos Martínez Tevez.
Carlos Alberto Martínez Tevez.
The name of my other dad.
I need you to sign
to make that name official.
Thirty three.
Thirty four!
Let's go.
It must be at home.
If it's not here, it's at home.
Why don't you look for it properly, Trina?
Can't you see I'm looking for it?
Let's go get it then.
We're open until three o'clock.
Let's go and come back later.
And bring his birth certificate
or the police complaint
for loss of his birth certificate.
No, but I don't have any of that.
They didn't give me anything.
But this kid must be registered somewhere.
We came for nothing then. Great.
That's what you wanted.
-You left your ID on purpose.
-Enough, Carlos.
We needed more documents anyway.
Could you write down what we need?
Yes, I'll give you a list
so you only need to come back once.
I have a paper we were given
at the hospital,
when he...
He had an accident as a baby.
And they gave
my wife and me... a document,
so we could take him home
from the hospital.
-She wasn't there.
-I wasn't there, but he is my son.
-That's fine.
-Look at the ID, what does it say?
"Martínez."
-"Carlos Alberto Martínez."
-Right, Martínez is my family name.
And his middle name is Alberto
in honor of his father, who's dead.
I named him Alberto
because his father died.
-So his father is dead.
-Yeah.
Then we can't help you here.
You need his father's death certificate.
But he died before I was born.
I didn't meet him.
I was brought up by my real parents.
She was never by my side.
Only on my ID.
My family name is Tevez.
I get it, but to change your family name
by yourself, you need to be over 18.
He has to have my family name,
it's only fair! Enough!
And if the process is going to be
this long, I can't do it.
I have kids to raise. Period. Enough.
Now you raise kids?
So you are not going to help me?
If you don't let me be who I want to be,
I'll change your family name too.
Do whatever you want,
I don't give a shit.
I need to serve other people, okay?
You now have to go
to this address here
and get his father's death certificate.
They'll tell you what to do next.
Did you have to upset him?
Just tell him you're going to help.
And you'd better sign, Trina.
He'll end up being as angry at you
as you are at him.
Pass it!
Goal!
What's up, Segundo?
I'll give you
a Liniers' starter jersey for it.
How are you, Uruguayan?
That's odd, you always come
at the same time. Lunch time.
I'm sorry, but I can smell
the food from Block One.
-Are you here to see your friend?
-Yeah.
He's inside. Go in.
-Don't eat all the bread!
-Are we selling the pickup?
Okay, Segundo.
-Hi.
-How are you?
Fine, and you?
...coming to play Copa Libertadores.
He'll be traveling in a private jet
tomorrow afternoon...
Did they kick you out of Boca already?
See? You're not that good.
Don't break my balls.
And how are you doing?
Great.
I'm soon going to move on
to the first division.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Didn't they make your parents
sign something?
Yes.
Cochi and Anabella signed it.
But they are not your parents.
So what?
They are really dumb in Liniers,
they won't even notice.
I have everything under control.
I don't understand why your sister
behaves like this.
Because... she doesn't find the way.
She wants what's best for Carlos,
but she doesn't know what it is
or how to get it.
She's too proud!
The kid is devastated.
I know.
My baby.
She can stick her pride up her ass.
And what can we do?
I will talk...
to the father of Carlos's teammate.
-The one who celebrated his birthday.
-Yes.
His dad is a lawyer.
But are we going to pay for a lawyer?
No. I mean, I don't know.
I'll talk to him.
As a favor, I don't know. We'll see.
Maybe he points in the right direction.
You know?
I don't like to owe people favors...
but Carlos asked me to.
I can talk to Trina.
-Why not?
-Because.
-She's my sister.
-She just wants attention.
Look.
That one was signed by Cochi and Anabella,
and this one by me.
It will be fine.
I may have to do something more legal...
but they don't want to lose
a player like me.
I might need to get an ID and all that.
But that's all.
Do you think a piece of paper is enough?
Of course it is.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Do I look stupid?
They won't give you this, though.
What is that?
Vouchers, to get clothes.
Let me see.
ON SALE
Carlos, do you like this one?
-That's nice.
-I know, right?
-And these?
-They're cool, get them.
I look great.
Look at all these balls.
Guys.
Excuse me, are you going to take
all these clothes?
Yes. And maybe some more.
The ball, and another jacket.
-Do you have money for this?
-Yes.
-Excuse me.
-Sure.
Now you'll see.
-What?
-What it's like to play for Boca.
Okay, kids. Here you go.
Take your time.
Just don't make a mess.
Thank you, man.
I don't know.
He's good to my brother.
You just said you didn't like that.
Right.
-So?
-He's good to Danilo.
I don't know.
Anyway... if Hernán had stayed...
Cochi was right.
So?
Yeah.
I want to try.
You'll get more money.
Much more than with Cochi.
With this money, you won't need
anyone to look after your brother.
Cochi just wants to look good.
I want a car too.
I want a house,
I want to help my mother.
And I want my brother to come back
and stop hiding.
Why?
Just because this moron says so?
Still...
if Hernán had stayed...
Cochi was right.
"He was right?" Wake up, man.
He's brainwashing you.
He wants his people to believe
that what he's doing is right.
And it's not.
It's wrong.
I don't get you two.
Look.
Try this. It's really good.
Not a word of this.
Do you think he'll keep quiet?
After what we gave him,
he won't open his mouth. Relax.
Goal!
HOME TEAM - AWAY TEAM
Go, Boca! Come on!
-Goal!
-Goal!
-Goal!
-Goal!
Yes, Carlos! Well done!
Your kid is good.
Really good.
Yes, he is.
Stop!
Stop.
So, man?
Go, Carlos!
Show some cards
or the kids will kill each other!
They'll kill each other.
-Goal!
-Goal!
Well done, Carlos!
-Goal for Boca!
-Fuck yeah!
Come on!
How are you?
Hi. I'm the father of Carlos Tevez,
I mean, Carlos Martínez.
Yes, I know. You took him
to Fernando's birthday party.
-Yes, exactly.
-Sure.
Carlos said you're a lawyer.
Yes, why?
I have an issue.
It's about Carlos's biological mother.
I need her to sign some documents...
but she won't do it.
-Okay.
-I was wondering if there's any way--
Come on, kid!
Did you see that, ref?
-What happened?
-Ref!
-Kick him out!
-It's Carlos.
-And the yellow card, ref?
-Carlos?
Come on!
-He didn't do anything.
-It's easy for you, isn't it?
What did you do?
You washed your hands off this
with that yellow card!
INFIRMARY
There?
Okay.
I'll twist it a bit, it will hurt.
Hang in there.
There?
Relax.
Now apply some pressure on my hand.
Yes, that's it.
Relax.
-Will he need a plaster cast?
-Yeah.
Look at his foot.
Small cleats.
If you want the kid to play,
don't get him the plaster cast.
I want to play.
Yeah, okay.
He's nobody, Carlos.
If you're here to fuck around,
show your face.
You're back.
He was born in a very popular neighborhood
He was born in a very popular neighborhood
Amongst violence and gunfire
Carlitos succeeded
Amongst violence and gunfire
Carlitos succeeded
Fuerte Apache, that's what they call him
Fuerte Apache, that's what they call him
Today's a very special day
Because Apache made it
Glory will be his to enjoy
These suckers cannot even handle it
Now we have a new star
Carlitos Tevez, that's his name
The golden boy is on the field
Nothing and nobody can stop him now
Nothing and nobody can stop him now
He was born in a very popular neighborhood
He was born in a very popular neighborhood
Amongst violence and gunfire
Carlitos succeeded
Amongst violence and gunfire
Carlitos succeeded
Fuerte Apache, that's what they call him
Fuerte Apache, that's what they call him

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS
OF CARLOS TEVEZ'S LIFE
Who is it?
Will you give him back?
He's mine.
What are you doing here?
Give me my son back.
What are you doing here? Go home.
Give me my son back.
Segundo will wake up, go home.
Who told you he was yours?
-You're out of your mind.
-Who said you could keep him?
-Segundo will wake up.
-Give me my son back!
-Go home.
-Give me my son back!
-Segundo will wake up!
-Give me my son back!
-Give him back!
-Answer her!
What's happening?
What's happening?
What is it, Chila?
What is it?
-Is it the baby?
-No, no.
I can't take it anymore.
My head is going to burst.
Calm down.
It's over.
Did you take the pill?
-Did you?
-Yes.
It's not doing anything.
Don't you want another half?
The doctor said you have to sleep.
-Come on.
-No, no.
I'm not safe here.
I'm not safe.
-We'll move out soon.
-I'm not safe.
She wanted him back.
She wanted him back.
She was in my dream, asking for Carlos.
Your sister?
It was so real, I swear. So real.
Adriana has always been
a mother figure to me.
I...
She has always been present in my life.
Just like a normal mother. A mother who...
was always there, she taught me
how to tie my shoelaces.
She has always been supportive.
Fabiana, though...
I didn't see her often.
So...
I would bump into her
and sometimes she would say hello,
sometimes she wouldn't.
Depending on the day.
Mom!
Here comes Carlitos. Tevez goes through.
Here comes Tevez, here he comes,
here comes Apache.
Tevez keeps going,
he's about to score. Tevez, Tevez!
Goal!
THE LIFE OF CARLOS TEVEZ
Trina.
I never ask for anything.
Can you... No, could you
come sign something for me?
So I can play in the championship
and not have any issues?
So I can play in the championship
and not have any issues?
All I need is your signature.
I know you will do great things.
You are not like the other morons.
What's that?
I bought it in Luján.
-Thank you, Carlitos.
-You're welcome, Grandpa.
Will you come see me play
in the first division?
Of course, Carlitos.
But now I need to rest, you know?
What happened wasn't our fault.
People have no idea,
so they talk shit.
There is the issue with my heart too.
It's tired.
It's strong, but exhausted.
I can't be stressing out.
You told me not to listen to anyone.
Your grandpa will be better off
in the province.
A change of air.
-Better than here.
-Dad! Let's go.
I'm coming.
Bye, Grandpa.
Come on, get in.
Take good care of my apartment.
-As usual.
-And take care of yourself.
Yeah, sure. Go, Dad.
TAXI
Things got out of hand.
What hurts me the most
is what happened to the pregnant girl.
It's awful.
But how would we ever imagine
he was a murderer?
The mistake was not catching him
and ending him in time.
Forget about it now.
It's over.
He won't be back.
-Take care.
-Shall we?
-Take care.
-Let's go.
Keep on the right track, Carlitos!
Train hard and don't listen to anyone!
That way you'll be a champion!
-Bye, Carlitos.
-Bye, Kiru.
-Dude!
-Bye, Grandpa.
-See you!
-Tevez! Let's go!
ENTRANCE
O.R. - WARD
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah.
I mean, this thing
is not very comfortable.
More comfortable than having
that bump on your elbow.
How long should the plaster cast stay on?
Approximately 45 days.
As long as he takes care
and doesn't mess around.
But 45 days is a lot,
I can't wait that long.
Enough, it's what he says.
But will it go back to normal?
Yes, don't worry.
It's a common injury.
Nothing serious.
Don't be a crybaby, sir.
I shouldn't have sent him away.
Why the fuck do I listen to people?
Hernán is a mess.
Cochi knows what's he's doing.
Your brother was the one
who didn't listen.
Cochi fucks you.
Is that why he knows what's he's doing?
He's more intelligent than you.
You're invisible.
Shut up or I'll fuck you right here.
We'll see if I'm invisible.
No, no.
-No.
-Why not?
No, no, wait.
Wait, Jorge, stop!
-I won't stop.
-Enough, Jorge!
Aren't you sick of Cochi?
It's over, he's a moron.
It's not fucking over!
Go to hell, fucking slut.
THREE MONTHS LATER
Relax.
Breathe, relax.
One, two, three, push!
Relax.
-Once more.
-Come on.
-It's coming.
-Come on.
You're doing great, sweetie.
It's almost over.
-Easy.
-One last time. You can do it. Relax.
-I see the head, come on.
-Relax. Like that.
There you go.
Well done!
Well done.
-Are you okay, Mom?
-Yeah.
Just a bit tired, but...
Can we see the baby?
What's her name, at least?
Déborah.
-I think they are weighing her.
-They are.
Like a package.
That's what they're doing.
Excuse me.
-Sandwiches! How nice.
-Hi!
-Hi there.
-How are you?
-Dude.
-What did you bring?
I brought sandwiches,
but they are for her. She's starving.
-One for each of us!
-Easy, kids.
They're for her, she's the one
who did all the work.
-Give me one!
-Not like that. Not on me.
-Give me one.
-Hi.
Sorry, there can only be
two of you in here.
We'll be right out.
Just a minute, I promise.
-Thanks.
-Isn't she beautiful?
-Look at the baby.
-So pretty.
You have a beautiful cousin.
She's not my cousin. She's my sister.
Segundo and Adriana are my parents.
-Goal!
-Goal!
-Goal!
-Well done, Danilo!
Well done, guys.
Well played, guys.
We just won a very important match.
And we played nicely.
That's what we do.
Very well, Danilo.
You were confident with your passes.
-You've been listening to me.
-Of course.
But I can't do everything.
I have to let the others play.
Then they mock me.
Come on, Uruguayan. Shut up, will you?
That goalie was pretty much
missing both arms.
I need you to bring me
the paper I gave you, signed.
Yes, I told my dad. He'll sign it
and I'll bring it to you.
You need it if you want
to play in the first division.
Yeah.
Are you eating with us?
No, I'm going to my grandma's.
-Okay then. See you tomorrow.
-See you tomorrow.
Don't take too long,
I don't want to be alone.
It's going to be okay. I won't be long.
Lock the door.
You can all go to our room
and watch something on TV.
If anything happens, call the cops.
What else can we do?
Alright.
Bye, honey.
Wait, here.
I washed and ironed it. Are you sure
you want to give him this one?
Yes, Mom. Thanks.
Bye.
It's okay.
-Lock the door, Chila.
-Yes.
Dad...
do we know where Hernán is?
I don't know.
And it's better that way, right?
Yes.
I saw them.
I said yes!
-No.
-Yes! Enough!
I'm sick of these stupid games!
They are not games, it's evidence.
What evidence are you talking about?
-This, for example.
-What?
Yes! You didn't want to come in
-because you're not confident.
-Make room for Mom.
That's a stupid thing to say.
I'm very confident.
Hi.
-I am.
-You're not.
Are we doing this again?
-Why don't you want to come in?
-I'm thankful for...
How can you be such a bad mother?
I was going to have a kid as well,
you know?
But thanks to you being a shitty mother...
I won't get to meet him.
You shouldn't have had him.
He shouldn't be alive.
Go, champion!
Go, champion, go!
Go, champion, go!
-Bravo!
-Bravo!
Fer, this is for you.
-What is it?
-Something I really love.
Do you want some more?
Santa Clara, right?
-Did you play there?
-Yeah.
It's the jersey I wore
when I first played.
Back then, it was too big for me.
It still is.
It's the best present I received.
You won everything in the youth leagues.
There was an Uruguayan guy, he was good.
-From Fuerte Apache, right?
-Yeah. He's my friend.
He plays for Liniers.
So we'll play against him.
You have to play better than him that day.
You can't make friends in this sport.
Fer.
Who wants cake?
I have an Independiente jersey,
from when I first played.
-Nice!
-Carlitos' gift.
I wouldn't give it to anyone.
You're nuts, Carlitos.
-Fuck you!
-Come on!
Fuck you, you old prick.
There's nothing here, motherfucker!
Why are you lying?
I swear, it was there.
Don't look at me!
Who said you could look at me?
It was there...
Okay, and now where is it?
Susana.
In the basement.
In the old washing machine.
Bitch! Why did you move it?
Respect the lady.
It's in there.
Where is it?
-In the basement, there's an old--
-Where's the basement?
-Next to the kitchen.
-Don't look!
-Where's the basement?
-Next to the kitchen.
To the right.
Look at me, bitch.
Look at me.
-No...
-Look.
No, no, stop.
-Shut up, motherfucker.
-Stop.
-Look.
-No...
-Be still.
-No!
Kill him if you have to.
-No!
-Come here!
-Come here, bitch!
-No!
-No! Let me go, motherfucker!
-Shut the fuck up.
Where the fuck is he? Motherfucker!
-He took her.
-Don't touch me!
Let me go! No!
What are you doing, you moron?
Come, fuck off.
-Come on.
-Stop.
-Let's go.
-We're off! Come on!
Come on, dude!
-Come on!
-Their parents did the job.
Fer, is this the house Boca gave you?
-It's cool.
-Yes, it's cool. This one is ours, though.
Boca gave us a shithole.
My dad chose to stay here.
What does your dad do for a job?
He's a lawyer. And yours?
He's a foreman.
He works in construction sites.
And does he do well?
Yes, he does well.
Let's start with the screed.
And then we move on to the bathroom.
Let's start now, come on.
-Hello.
-Hugo!
Would you like a sandwich?
When we finish this, it's over.
Yes, we still have a lot to do.
A couple of weeks.
No, I mean there's no more work.
I'm going back to my province.
For those who come
from the capital, it's easier.
For us who come from a province,
it's complicated.
There I have a big house,
my whole family lives there.
I'm sure you understand.
There's no money.
You know we haven't had
a big job for weeks now.
And what about the guys?
I have no idea.
I can barely look after myself
and my daughter.
I'm telling you so if something
comes up you can take it.
Now I'll talk to the guys
and pay them for their work.
I'll tell them the news.
What about what I owe you?
For the house.
The house is yours.
Guys!
Can I get a goodbye kiss?
It's not a goodbye.
I don't know when I'm leaving yet.
Anyway, give me a kiss.
Stop.
Why?
I've never had anything like this.
Me neither.
...at Bombonera Stadium.
Boca strikes back...
Who is it?
Danilo!
Hi.
Hey, you. You said you'd buy
something to eat.
-I'll go in a bit.
-Can you give me money?
Here.
Get cold meat, cheese, bread. And a Coke.
Are you looking at my girlfriend's butt
or is your nose itching?
Hey!
Cut it out, burnouts.
Do you want to adopt a kid now?
Seba, have you given
coke to your brother?
-No, not at all.
-Not at all.
Seba doesn't share.
I don't want to hear you did.
Why do you meddle in everything?
Stop lecturing everyone, man.
Lately, there's been too much crap here.
Before, there was less of that,
less hesitation. Fewer problems.
What crap?
What crap?
Do you want to see how direct I can be,
motherfucker?
You are two fuckers, you and this slut.
What the fuck is your problem?
Hey!
Drop it.
Cochi, let's go for a walk.
Open the gate.
Since when does this moron
treat you like that?
I have to take this stupid paper
to Liniers, signed by my father.
I need you to sign it.
Then I'll get something more legal.
Although when they see how I play
and how much they need me,
-they'll get it for me.
-Sure.
Nice, that's a plan!
-You always need to have a plan.
-Right.
And you have a plan, right?
She's smoking hot.
Of course.
Otherwise she wouldn't be with me.
Can I have some?
-Okay, give me your glass.
-No, the other stuff.
So you've tried it.
No. Never. No.
I'm just curious.
No, you can't have any.
Actually, if you want me
to sign this shit,
you have to promise you'll never try this.
Okay.
So you have never tried it?
No, Cochi, I said no.
No means no. Just sign it.
Now drop it.
THESE ARE MY PARENTS' SIGNATURES
What should I write? Daddy Cochi?
Daddy Cochi!
"Cochi."
Now you.
Do you remember your mom's name?
Or mine is fine?
It doesn't matter. Yours is fine.
There you go.
Don't forget what you promised.
-I know.
-Now I'm your father!
You have to obey me!
-Should we make a toast?
-Sure.
-To family.
-To family.
To Daddy Cochi!
CHICKEN TO GO
Go!
Go, Boca, go!
Go, Boca, go!
Go, Boca, go!
-Well done, guys.
-Guys!
If we continue like this, we'll be
champions for sure. Let's do it.
I can't believe it.
To win the cup playing for Boca.
It's no big deal.
It's better being the champion
in the first division.
What do you mean?
That we just got lucky?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
I'm just saying we had luck,
and we need to see that
as part of the victory.
Are you an evangelist now?
Besides, we still have
a couple of matches to go.
He may not look like it,
but he's very superstitious.
Well done, guys!
Well played, Carlos.
You keep getting better.
Well played, all of you.
Epiphany came early.
-What are these?
-Vouchers.
So you can go get
whatever you want.
Trousers, cleats, socks, whatever.
-Can I have another one?
-I have one for each, Carlos.
Well done!
Here, I have too many clothes.
Keep it for your siblings.
No offense, right?
Thanks.
Yes, I get that the kids want to play
all the time, anywhere.
What will we do
if he gets injured in the neighborhood?
We can't afford that.
-Anyway, see you later.
-Later.
-Arévalo.
-Segundo.
-Do you have a minute?
-Sure. Did you get the signature?
-Not yet.
-Then get it and then we talk.
Carlos's mom is not easy.
But he was great today.
Sure, nobody is questioning
Carlos's skills.
He's an excellent player.
He's young and has to adjust some things.
But he has a bright future.
-You know what the issue is.
-Yes, I know.
-The signature.
-Yes.
Okay, I will get it.
-I just need some time.
-Segundo, understand this.
We're two matches away from the final.
And the final is the end of everything.
What do you...?
By the end of the championship,
if we don't have the paperwork done right,
he'll be out of the club.
But you keep saying how good he is
and you'll kick him out?
If the documents are not signed,
Carlos is out of the club.
Or he is out of Boca, at least.
See you.
Whatever you want.
After all, she's your mom.
I know.
-But Adriana is my mom as well.
-Of course.
She's the one who raised you.
Don't worry.
It's your choice.
Boca is not the most important thing
in the world.
Neither is soccer.
You told me not to miss my chance.
And I think I can do well.
I don't want to miss this opportunity.
And if I fail...
I can work with you in construction.
Or am I not good at it?
Hey, man. What's up?
What did you forget now?
It's me, Carlos.
What do you need?
I need to talk to you.
What do you want to talk about?
Can I come in or we'll talk here?
Come in.
Excuse me.
What does Segundo want you
to tell me? Why didn't he come himself?
I'm here to speak for myself.
To speak for yourself?
Are you sure you haven't been brainwashed?
I'm sure.
I'm sure, Mom.
Okay, what do you want to talk about?
I want my name to be Carlos Tevez.
I can't believe this. Are you sure
they haven't been telling you crap,
brainwashing you?
Since when do you want to be Carlos Tevez?
Since a long time ago.
-And now you realize.
-No.
Also in school.
They would call me Tevez
when taking attendance.
Even in All Boys.
Some kids called me "Tevez,"
although officially I was "Martínez."
I'm not just a Martínez.
Here.
You are my son.
And my name is Martínez.
And since your father died,
you got my family name. Period.
Adriana raised me.
Because I let her.
No, because you left me.
It was the best for you.
And I was right.
I want my ID to say "Carlos Tevez."
That's what I want.
First, you are a Martínez.
Then you are a Tevez.
How many times have you seen me play?
How many of my birthdays
did you spend with me?
You never know how I'm doing.
I know you're my mom as well.
But you've been gone for a long time.
You are so lucky.
You have two moms, two dads.
Carlos Martínez Tevez.
Carlos Alberto Martínez Tevez.
The name of my other dad.
I need you to sign
to make that name official.
Thirty three.
Thirty four!
Let's go.
It must be at home.
If it's not here, it's at home.
Why don't you look for it properly, Trina?
Can't you see I'm looking for it?
Let's go get it then.
We're open until three o'clock.
Let's go and come back later.
And bring his birth certificate
or the police complaint
for loss of his birth certificate.
No, but I don't have any of that.
They didn't give me anything.
But this kid must be registered somewhere.
We came for nothing then. Great.
That's what you wanted.
-You left your ID on purpose.
-Enough, Carlos.
We needed more documents anyway.
Could you write down what we need?
Yes, I'll give you a list
so you only need to come back once.
I have a paper we were given
at the hospital,
when he...
He had an accident as a baby.
And they gave
my wife and me... a document,
so we could take him home
from the hospital.
-She wasn't there.
-I wasn't there, but he is my son.
-That's fine.
-Look at the ID, what does it say?
"Martínez."
-"Carlos Alberto Martínez."
-Right, Martínez is my family name.
And his middle name is Alberto
in honor of his father, who's dead.
I named him Alberto
because his father died.
-So his father is dead.
-Yeah.
Then we can't help you here.
You need his father's death certificate.
But he died before I was born.
I didn't meet him.
I was brought up by my real parents.
She was never by my side.
Only on my ID.
My family name is Tevez.
I get it, but to change your family name
by yourself, you need to be over 18.
He has to have my family name,
it's only fair! Enough!
And if the process is going to be
this long, I can't do it.
I have kids to raise. Period. Enough.
Now you raise kids?
So you are not going to help me?
If you don't let me be who I want to be,
I'll change your family name too.
Do whatever you want,
I don't give a shit.
I need to serve other people, okay?
You now have to go
to this address here
and get his father's death certificate.
They'll tell you what to do next.
Did you have to upset him?
Just tell him you're going to help.
And you'd better sign, Trina.
He'll end up being as angry at you
as you are at him.
Pass it!
Goal!
What's up, Segundo?
I'll give you
a Liniers' starter jersey for it.
How are you, Uruguayan?
That's odd, you always come
at the same time. Lunch time.
I'm sorry, but I can smell
the food from Block One.
-Are you here to see your friend?
-Yeah.
He's inside. Go in.
-Don't eat all the bread!
-Are we selling the pickup?
Okay, Segundo.
-Hi.
-How are you?
Fine, and you?
...coming to play Copa Libertadores.
He'll be traveling in a private jet
tomorrow afternoon...
Did they kick you out of Boca already?
See? You're not that good.
Don't break my balls.
And how are you doing?
Great.
I'm soon going to move on
to the first division.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Didn't they make your parents
sign something?
Yes.
Cochi and Anabella signed it.
But they are not your parents.
So what?
They are really dumb in Liniers,
they won't even notice.
I have everything under control.
I don't understand why your sister
behaves like this.
Because... she doesn't find the way.
She wants what's best for Carlos,
but she doesn't know what it is
or how to get it.
She's too proud!
The kid is devastated.
I know.
My baby.
She can stick her pride up her ass.
And what can we do?
I will talk...
to the father of Carlos's teammate.
-The one who celebrated his birthday.
-Yes.
His dad is a lawyer.
But are we going to pay for a lawyer?
No. I mean, I don't know.
I'll talk to him.
As a favor, I don't know. We'll see.
Maybe he points in the right direction.
You know?
I don't like to owe people favors...
but Carlos asked me to.
I can talk to Trina.
-Why not?
-Because.
-She's my sister.
-She just wants attention.
Look.
That one was signed by Cochi and Anabella,
and this one by me.
It will be fine.
I may have to do something more legal...
but they don't want to lose
a player like me.
I might need to get an ID and all that.
But that's all.
Do you think a piece of paper is enough?
Of course it is.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Do I look stupid?
They won't give you this, though.
What is that?
Vouchers, to get clothes.
Let me see.
ON SALE
Carlos, do you like this one?
-That's nice.
-I know, right?
-And these?
-They're cool, get them.
I look great.
Look at all these balls.
Guys.
Excuse me, are you going to take
all these clothes?
Yes. And maybe some more.
The ball, and another jacket.
-Do you have money for this?
-Yes.
-Excuse me.
-Sure.
Now you'll see.
-What?
-What it's like to play for Boca.
Okay, kids. Here you go.
Take your time.
Just don't make a mess.
Thank you, man.
I don't know.
He's good to my brother.
You just said you didn't like that.
Right.
-So?
-He's good to Danilo.
I don't know.
Anyway... if Hernán had stayed...
Cochi was right.
So?
Yeah.
I want to try.
You'll get more money.
Much more than with Cochi.
With this money, you won't need
anyone to look after your brother.
Cochi just wants to look good.
I want a car too.
I want a house,
I want to help my mother.
And I want my brother to come back
and stop hiding.
Why?
Just because this moron says so?
Still...
if Hernán had stayed...
Cochi was right.
"He was right?" Wake up, man.
He's brainwashing you.
He wants his people to believe
that what he's doing is right.
And it's not.
It's wrong.
I don't get you two.
Look.
Try this. It's really good.
Not a word of this.
Do you think he'll keep quiet?
After what we gave him,
he won't open his mouth. Relax.
Goal!
HOME TEAM - AWAY TEAM
Go, Boca! Come on!
-Goal!
-Goal!
-Goal!
-Goal!
Yes, Carlos! Well done!
Your kid is good.
Really good.
Yes, he is.
Stop!
Stop.
So, man?
Go, Carlos!
Show some cards
or the kids will kill each other!
They'll kill each other.
-Goal!
-Goal!
Well done, Carlos!
-Goal for Boca!
-Fuck yeah!
Come on!
How are you?
Hi. I'm the father of Carlos Tevez,
I mean, Carlos Martínez.
Yes, I know. You took him
to Fernando's birthday party.
-Yes, exactly.
-Sure.
Carlos said you're a lawyer.
Yes, why?
I have an issue.
It's about Carlos's biological mother.
I need her to sign some documents...
but she won't do it.
-Okay.
-I was wondering if there's any way--
Come on, kid!
Did you see that, ref?
-What happened?
-Ref!
-Kick him out!
-It's Carlos.
-And the yellow card, ref?
-Carlos?
Come on!
-He didn't do anything.
-It's easy for you, isn't it?
What did you do?
You washed your hands off this
with that yellow card!
INFIRMARY
There?
Okay.
I'll twist it a bit, it will hurt.
Hang in there.
There?
Relax.
Now apply some pressure on my hand.
Yes, that's it.
Relax.
-Will he need a plaster cast?
-Yeah.
Look at his foot.
Small cleats.
If you want the kid to play,
don't get him the plaster cast.
I want to play.
Yeah, okay.
He's nobody, Carlos.
If you're here to fuck around,
show your face.
You're back.
He was born in a very popular neighborhood
He was born in a very popular neighborhood
Amongst violence and gunfire
Carlitos succeeded
Amongst violence and gunfire
Carlitos succeeded
Fuerte Apache, that's what they call him
Fuerte Apache, that's what they call him
Today's a very special day
Because Apache made it
Glory will be his to enjoy
These suckers cannot even handle it
Now we have a new star
Carlitos Tevez, that's his name
The golden boy is on the field
Nothing and nobody can stop him now
Nothing and nobody can stop him now
He was born in a very popular neighborhood
He was born in a very popular neighborhood
Amongst violence and gunfire
Carlitos succeeded
Amongst violence and gunfire
Carlitos succeeded
Fuerte Apache, that's what they call him
Fuerte Apache, that's what they call him
