A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mommy!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
-I'll make it go viral in two minutes. -OK. I'll see you tomorrow, early.
You said that Guillermo is going to say that's not his signature.
Let's get people talking
about Guillermo Mejía's rampant corruption.
And let's help by reviving all the most talked-about investigations.
Let's not let people forget who he really is.
Do you think Mejía will contact you after everything you said about him?
No, he's very proud.
Besides, he must be very upset because he really has no idea
what kind of proof I have in those agreements.
He has no idea why I challenged him in public.
And that can help us a lot.
Yes, that's true.
But that also means that we need to be more careful than ever.
Guillermo isn't going to sit around doing nothing
while getting slammed by me and Pablo.
Pablo, I have to say that you did extremely well in the radio debate.
-Goodbye. -Now the scales are tipped in our favor.
And people really liked that you were quick and decisive
in denouncing your cousin.
That says that justice is justice,
and it doesn't matter whose family you are.
I told you, Mark, that Pablo would turn this all around.
Yes, it's true. And also, the blow that Analía gave him,
speaking out publicly to accuse Mejía, completely threw him off balance.
-You did a very good job. -Yes.
Pablo, you should feel very pleased.
But I don't, Ramiro.
Analía sacrificed her career for that call.
Come on, don't feel bad. That was her decision.
I'll go on ahead.
-Yes. -OK.
-You know what? Honestly, Pablo. -What?
I don't know why...
she wrecked her own career. What for?
I don't know, Mark.
She was probably outraged by Guillermo's...
lies and hypocrisy.
I thought she was defending you in the beginning,
but why would she put her political career at risk for you?
I know that woman very well
-and she always has an agenda. -Look, Mark, let's stop talking about it.
-All right? -OK.
Let's stay focused on what Guillermo is doing.
-Let's go. -Very good work.
You're a complete idiot, Santiago.
-You told me that you had everything... -Yes, under control, I know.
Listen to me and look at me.
If Pablo has enough evidence to file a case,
I'm going to have to fire you from the campaign.
I didn't leave anything that could hurt me or implicate you.
But that's already happening.
That's already happening.
You need to find a way to bury this.
Because if you were stupid enough to leave something out
within the construction company that could implicate you or me,
I'll destroy you myself. I've already warned you.
Guillermo, I didn't leave anything out.
So then, what was it that Pablo presented on the damn radio show?
Well, I don't know. Some falsified document,
some lie that those two cooked up
to corner you and trap you.
One more lie, one more mistake and you're on your own.
And you'll be going to jail because...
because I'm not going to lose anything due to an imbecile like you.
OK, Memo. I swear I'm going to fix this
-and we'll both come out fine. -No, I will,
because I don't have anything to do with the idiotic things you did there.
How the hell did Analía get the supposed proof of those agreements, Santiago?
Well, you always let her be part of everything we were doing.
Oh, so it's my fault then? This is my fault?
Do you have a moment, sir?
The man I have following Toto in La Herradura sent me this photo.
Analía going into his warehouse.
What the hell is that traitor doing there?
I don't know, sir, but something's going on.
I heard that she goes in there even when he's not there.
And do you know what's in that warehouse?
Contraband merchandise.
Clothes, toys, appliances.
Tell your man not to do anything to give himself away,
to focus on that warehouse and on Analía.
-All right? -Yes, sir.
I think what happened on that radio show is terrible.
Really? Santiago, a thief. No.
Thank goodness Manuel José isn't alive to see this horror.
I was also really shocked by how Analía
threw Guillermo under the bus.
I thought she was his right hand.
Yes, so did I.
And you?
What do you think about what she said?
Well, and about what Guillermo said was going on between them.
I can't deny that...
It hurt me very much to hear Pablo talking about her.
But I also felt a huge relief when I heard that they were no longer together.
That woman ruined my marriage.
No, Carolina.
It wasn't that. You can't ignore your own mistakes.
Which were very serious.
You're right.
And I'm very remorseful.
Yes, I know.
Why don't we change the subject, all right?
With everything they said on that show,
I started thinking that now,
without that woman,
maybe I could have a second chance with Pablo, don't you think?
No. I don't think there's much you can do there.
You and Pablo already moved on with your lives and...
But wouldn't you like...
for Heli to have her parents together?
-Well, yes, of course, but... -Then help me.
I... I want to get my marriage back.
I... I want to show the whole world how much I love Pablo and my daughter.
Do you still love Pablo?
It's very sad that I had to lose Pablo
to realize what a wonderful man he is.
But...
we all deserve a second chance.
All families go through crises...
and with your help, and that woman gone,
maybe I can have another chance, and get my family back.
Help me.
What's going to happen to my brother?
You need to do something
to make sure that what Pablo said on the show won't hurt him.
Whatever happens to your brother is his problem.
You can't abandon him.
He's supported you from the beginning.
I don't want to talk about your idiot brother right now.
Come here.
What do you want?
-Another drink. -I'll call the maid.
I want my beloved wife to get it for me.
Guillermo, no. Let me go.
Let me go, Guillermo. No.
Why not?
-What's going on? Are you drunk? -We're married.
-I have rights, no? -What's wrong with you? Are you drunk?
Are you like this because you lost another debate or because you lost Analía?
You're so stupid. You know I didn't lose.
-On the contrary, I won. -What did you win?
You can't be so blind that you don't see the disaster you created
in order to attack Analía.
But she hit back, along with Pablo.
That idiot doesn't know what he's got coming to him
if he keeps challenging me in public
and trying to keep me from winning the presidency.
You're not thinking of doing anything to him?
Guillermo, for God's sake, he's family. You can't do that.
What did I say? What did I say?
OK, OK.
Don't get hysterical.
What?
Come here.
You're hurting me. Let me go.
That hurts, you're hurting me.
Don't make me break our agreement on top of everything.
Let me go.
You're hurting me.
Do it...
and see what happens to you.
Do you think I'm afraid of you?
You should be.
Mom, are you in here?
Yes, here I am. I'm just talking over a few things with your father,
but I'm going to bed now.
See you later, my love.
Have a good rest.
Fix yourself up, you look like you just got out of bed.
Do you think that what Pablo said to my uncle
could get him into serious trouble?
The important thing is that it doesn't get you into trouble.
One moment.
All I did was create the fake companies.
There's no reason for me to be in trouble.
Of course not.
Now, I hope that you handled things much better than your uncle did,
because, otherwise...
my hands would be tied.
What do you mean?
You'd get me out of a problem if I had one, no?
I'm your son.
Or would you let me die to save your own skin?
Of course not.
-Where's Heli? -She's coming down.
-She still has some time. -OK.
-How is she? I couldn't see her yesterday. -Fine, fine. Don't worry.
-I'm sure it was just something temporary. -OK. What about the test results?
-I'm getting them tomorrow. -Tomorrow?
OK, perfect. Thanks.
Well, tell me about you. What will you do when you leave?
I want to start my own company.
Interesting. With a loan?
Yes. Exactly the kind of loan that Ramiro talked about in the radio debate.
We've still got a long way to go, no?
Yes. But I'm sure you're going to win.
At least, I'm going to vote for you.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I hope it's true.
What kind of business?
I want to set up a pharmaceutical company to sell to wholesalers.
Well, taking advantage of my contacts with doctors and hospitals.
-Right. -I think I'll do well.
No, not just well. You'll do very well.
You're a good worker and a good leader.
Everything you set your mind to, you achieve.
Well, I have to leave it like this. I can't finish.
I'll get my jacket.
I think you should get Heli up, OK?
-Mr. Mejía. -Hello.
Good morning, everyone.
Mr. Mejía.
Mr. Mejía, do you have a statement?
Don't fall, please.
Do you have any statement about the agreement that your former adviser,
Analía Guerrero, spoke about yesterday, a photo of which is now circulating?
That is not my signature.
I never arranged anything under the table with anyone.
Indeed, Miss Analía Guerrero worked by my side
and she obviously had access to my signatures, but now,
clearly hurt by the all the facts I revealed yesterday,
she's resorting to this dirty ruse to hurt me.
But I know that the authorities will clear this all up,
and I have complete trust in our institutions.
Thank you, have a good day.
Mr. Mejía, Mr. Mejía.
That guy is disgusting.
Although he may look calm, he's really scared.
Something that makes him even more dangerous.
Where is Analía?
She went out early to make sure no one makes any mistakes,
now that Mejía is in this position.
-May I come in? -Yes.
Black coffee, no sugar and some fruit.
Oh, I really have to insist on the fruit, because with this cold,
and you with all your worries, just papaya and kiwi?
No, I think you should have something more substantial,
like a cheese sandwich.
Sit down.
-What is it? -Thank you.
Did you listen to the debate?
Yes.
I felt really bad for you.
And I hate to say this to you, but...
Analía is despicable.
You just don't do something that low, especially for the whole world to hear.
Really, you just don't...
Did you see what's going around on social media?
-Hello. -No.
Dora, can you leave?
It's just a photo of a document,
all you need to do is deny any connection
and say the signature isn't yours, and that's it.
I know.
Look, Memo, this is completely orchestrated by Analía.
From the beginning, we knew we couldn't trust her.
But she turned on us, she went bad.
But you never believed me.
And she keeps betraying you, no?
-If you keep throwing that in my face... -Memo.
I'm not judging you.
But was does hurt me, definitely, is that you've reached the point of...
of mistrusting me.
What are you talking about?
You have made many mistakes. For example,
the issue with the construction company.
-And I've never mistrusted you. -But you told Analía...
to have me followed, right?
Who told you that? Analía?
No, look at me, look at me.
You, the person who has mistrusted her the most,
you believed her just like that?
Look at me, because I don't understand you.
Why did you do it?
Well, we were very distant.
Of course, and that damn snake
made me believe that you gave the order to have me followed.
But why would Analía want to do that?
Well, obviously, to damage our relationship.
OK, but beyond that, why?
What for?
Well, she was working with Pablo and Pérez from the beginning
and she wanted to screw us from the inside.
No.
No, I've known Pablo since he was a child,
and he'd never do the things I said he did on the radio show.
No, that idiot is too honest.
Besides, he's completely in love with Analía.
Well, we can't deny it. My cousin is very ethical.
What we need to find out is, what does she want?
What does she want?
Look, Memo, I think what's going on with Analía and you is something personal.
She creates conflict, animosity between us,
she sets off this whole circus...
and then she presents herself as your best ally.
Yes, but I don't understand why Analía worked so hard for me
to rise in the polls, to win the election,
just to become my enemy.
No...
Who is Analía Guerrero, really?
Who is she?
Now, I think we need to dig into her past,
so that when she tries to screw me,
we'll already have something to threaten her with.
All right, I'll take care of that.
No, you take care of the construction company issue.
Excuse me.
-Hello. What's up? -Nobody came for the body,
but there's movement in the warehouse.
It's a question of patience, sir. Believe me, I have experience in this.
No, I know, that's why you're with me,
but this can't go on forever, Engineer, really. Hmm?
I think that between Analía and that witch Fabiola,
there's some kind of connection.
Do you say that for any concrete reason?
The only one who knew about my agreement with Velandia
was that witch.
How do you think Analía found out about it?
What's more, that Toto guy lied.
He said he didn't know the people in the pictures.
And Toto works for Analía. That's why, when we went to La Herradura,
she could direct them, she could direct them however she liked. I'm...
One more thing sir.
Dorita is from that neighborhood.
-She knows Toto. -No, no, I already questioned her
and she doesn't have anything to do with Analía's plan.
She's too humble, and she's not involved in that.
She's not involved in that.
What I need to know is, who does Analía work for,
because if she risked her career, it must be for something really big.
A lot of money.
-And someone who hates me. -Just tell me what to do next, sir.
Move cautiously, because I can't go all in...
without knowing against whom I'm declaring war.
Analía's boss must be one of my enemies. I've got plenty of them...
and they're all very powerful.
-Where's Toto? -I think he's inside.
Toto!
Look, black like your conscience, you hear?
Thanks.
So, Froggy, listen, we heard you on the radio. You were great, no?
-There's a strange guy out there, Toto. -"Strange," how?
I don't know, I don't know if I'm very paranoid or what,
but I felt him watching me. He played dumb and left.
Mejía is like a scorpion.
He must be coiled up and ready to attack.
I know, I'm very aware.
-What's going to happen to me? -To you? Nothing.
Wait here until we're sure you can leave.
-Bro. -How's it going, John?
-Colocho. Come here. -Sure, boss.
There's a strange guy who's watching us.
Get on it and see what's going on.
You know what to do, no?
Absolutely.
What are we going to do?
I can't stay here, waiting for you to put together
that other person's evidence against Mejía.
You need to be patient.
And just between us,
who is that other person?
There still isn't any trust between us
after everything that's happened?
Look, Fabiola, don't get confused.
Your life and mine came together in a very strange way,
but that doesn't mean that we've been friends,
or that we're ever going to be friends.
Yes, life united us.
And in the worst way.
Because that man killed our mothers.
And that's a very deep pain
that will never go away.
Even when we destroy that killer,
and you know that very well.
But, oh, we will enjoy the day that man falls.
That unites us,
and it's something that no one else can understand.
All right, bye.
Alejandra.
-Hi. -Hi.
I wanted to thank you for defending me yesterday with your dad.
But I also wanted to tell you that I'd rather deal with those things myself.
OK, no, I'm sorry, it's just that I can't stay silent
-in that kind of unjust situation. -I know.
But fine.
Anyway, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable.
That's the last thing I want. The thing is, I'm very direct.
Very outspoken. I needed to tell you.
And since we're going to be working together,
it's important, no?
Sure, no problem.
In fact, I like that about you, that you're so direct.
Among a lot of other things.
Oh, well, it's obvious that...
that I like you.
And that's why I invited you out to eat the other night.
I'm sorry, I think I scared you.
That wasn't my intention.
But, well, since nothing more will happen
from now on, it's fine.
I'm not uncomfortable.
But I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable.
OK.
I think you have a meeting. They're waiting for you.
Yes.
Mr. Santiago Castiblanco
is being sued for misappropriation of funds.
This is the evidence that the prosecutor's office has.
Mr. Pablo, but Mr. Mejía's campaign is claiming
that this could be a strategy to discredit Democratic Force,
undoubtedly one of the strongest parties against you in this election.
Of course, they have to say something. They can't remain silent.
But let me ask you,
do you think we're going to take a case to the prosecutor's office without proof?
But this is a very serious and strong lawsuit
against someone in your own family.
Justice begins at home.
And yes, Santiago Castiblanco is my cousin.
But he stole, and he needs to take responsibility for that.
I give my complete support to Mr. Santiago Castiblanco, Mariano,
against the despicable claims of Mr. Pablo de la Torre.
And I also ask for the party's support,
because they have no right to tarnish the integrity of a man
who has been by my side since the beginning of my political career,
who's always been supportive...
and whose record is clean.
I want to be honest with you.
This scandal has divided the party
and that's the worst thing for us at this time,
when we are so close to the election.
We're going to project an image of weakness.
Some members of the party think that the best thing
is for Castiblanco to step down until this issue is resolved.
Well, then, let's do this, Mariano.
Thank you, Dorita. Let's put it to an open vote.
Because I want to see...
who is for and who is against not just Santiago,
but also what is said by me,
and consequently, by the next president of this country, gentlemen.
Because Democratic Force
is going to come out on top,
despite the dirty campaigns of Mr. Pérez or Mr. De la Torre.
Look, Guillermo. We support you,
and that means we also support you, Santiago.
But if things don't start to change soon,
you're going to have to let your brother-in-law go
-as campaign manager. -Mariano, I'll say it again.
If Mr. Castiblanco...
has broken the law,
I will be the first to speak out against him,
but please, let's not abandon him now.
Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.
Every man in this country is innocent until proven guilty.
That's all I ask.
Thank you.
Guillermo.
Thank you so much.
Back off!
Memo, you should have defended me more.
You think I didn't?
No, in the beginning you were doing well, but then I don't know what...
You should be well aware that if this gets worse,
-you're going down alone. -No, no, that won't happen.
Mantilla is going to wash his hands clean if things don't go well,
and guess who will be the first person crucified.
Please, Guillermo, the party is not going to turn its back on you,
especially not with the election about to...
Your mistakes weaken me.
Don't insult me anymore.
I'll remind you that this idea was yours and mine. Not just mine.
And the idea to screw Manuel José? I took orders from you.
Say that again, and I won't be responsible for my actions.
Let's calm down.
We're not going to find solutions this way.
Nothing can happen to my uncle or me.
Dad.
If, if we're involved in this...
it's because of you.
I created the fake company to pass through the materials
that my uncle was taking out of the construction company,
following your orders.
And if we're upset, it's because it seems like you'll abandon us
if things go wrong.
I'm not going to abandon you.
But your uncle...
needs to fix this little problem he's gotten into.
And let it be very clear that I haven't committed any crime.
Anything else?
Froggy, you have no idea what I just heard going on
between Mejía and Santiago.
May I?
Please, please.
Let's talk like adults, OK?
Give me a chance, give me the opportunity...
give me the opportunity to show you that I'm not that...
I behaved like a jerk with you. I admit it, OK?
Forgive me.
-Please. -Too late.
You told me that since my husband had discovered us,
I couldn't pass along any more info on him and I was of no use to you.
All right, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Forgive me, really.
It's just that, I was very frustrated with what had happened and,
and, obviously, you matter to me more than information.
I think you're a very attractive woman.
Very pretty.
Please.
Look, are you calling to keep insulting me or are you raising a white flag?
No, I don't know.
Let's do this. Let's see each other so you can be sure.
And, listen, I take full responsibility for our meeting.
Please.
All right.
Fine.
Your dad is going to wash his hands of me...
and I'm not going to tolerate that, or one more insult,
or one more threat.
And what are you going to do? Don't you know him?
Remember when I became a problem to his campaign? What did he do?
He put me in a terrible spot and turned a blind eye
to my being kidnapped for who knows how long. Me, his own son.
If Analía were here, I'm sure she'd handle him better.
Analía? Analía?
Analía is a sham, Juan Mario!
She left!
Your father kicked her out of here because he found her out, for God's sake!
Look, Uncle, we can't deny that Analía put out a lot of fires.
Besides, she practically saved my life.
And what did I do? What? I didn't do anything?
Uncle, stop comparing yourself to Analía. That's not the issue.
All I'm saying is that Analía was a master
at dealing with Dad when he was unreasonable.
I can't believe they don't realize it.
I swear, I can't believe they don't realize
that she's been working with Pablo from the beginning.
Believe me, it was her idea to report me.
Uncle, stop being paranoid.
All Analía has proven to us
is that she could get Dad to rise in the polls,
that she could get us out of scandals, and nobody can deny that.
I, I can't believe this.
Listen, this total lack of gratitude?
Tell me who went to the council with Guillermo the first time.
Who was with him? Me, not Analía.
Tell me who helped him to get where he is.
Who helped him get there? Me, not Analía!
Besides, there are things about your father that...
I swear, you can't even imagine.
So show more respect, kid.
Clear.
I swept the place with Colocho and nothing, nothing strange.
But we need to be super careful.
We can't lower our guard.
I'm sure Mejía is going to start putting things together and realizing
-that I'm connected to Fabiola. -Why?
Because she was the only one who knew he was connected to Velandia.
-So... -Don't worry.
We'll be on the lookout for anything strange.
All right.
All right. See you later. Talk to you later.
-Hi. -Hey.
You told me that your desire for revenge
was stronger than what you felt for me.
So I don't understand, I don't understand at all
why you went up against Guillermo now...
when that puts you in danger.
Look, what I came to do is still in the works.
The only difference now is it's in the open and that's better.
He's scared. I'm sure of it.
You know, when you called the radio station,
I don't know, I had a slight hope that what you're doing here,
against Guillermo, at least in the way you're doing it,
that things were going to be different.
But I see you haven't changed.
But...
-I want to see you. -Me too.
This afternoon, the usual place?
-OK. -Take care.
Miss, I need for you to release my mother's body to my friend,
who's going to claim it because I can't go.
I told you more than an hour ago, that I...
Who are you talking to?
The medical examiner.
If I don't go to claim my mother, they're going to bury her there,
as if she were a Jane Doe.
Hey, hey, hey!
-What are you doing? What are you doing? -What do you think?
Are you crazy?
What part of Analía saying "you can't go out" didn't you understand?
I can't abandon my mother there. You have to understand.
Look, your mother is dead, right? She doesn't feel anything anymore.
But you, on the other hand, will be screwed,
and will also screw us if you set foot outside.
You know what?
Give me your mother's information and I'll see what I can do.
Really?
You promise?
Really?
What are you doing?
Reviewing my channel. I'm going to start doing interviews again.
I think it's a great idea for you to start again.
I have a lot of work right now,
now that Analía isn't working for Dad.
Juan.
I was thinking...
what if we forget about that woman's death?
Do you already have the answers you need?
Yes.
They caught the guy years ago and he confessed.
You're satisfied with that.
Yes.
The two of us have too much to do to be running around playing detective.
Hey, it's not a game. What Mom told us is really serious.
Aunt Eugenia said Dad had nothing to do with it.
Aunt Eugenia doesn't know anything, and besides,
-she doesn't want to remember. -Well, at any rate, I'm done.
You wouldn't by any chance be afraid
to find out that our father isn't the great guy you think he is?
No. I'm afraid to be wasting time on nonsense
when I have to be focused on helping Dad before the election.
You should do the same.
I'm so glad you came.
I thought you were going to stand me up.
Come in. Come in, please.
Here, let me help you with that.
Look.
-My favorite. -Ours.
Why did you change your mind about us seeing each other?
Because I decided not to live my life halfway anymore.
OK.
Don't be afraid. It doesn't mean that this is going to last forever.
I don't believe in fairy tales anymore.
I want to live in the moment, and that's all.
Of course.
What happened to you here?
I got hit by a ball playing tennis.
Playing tennis?
It was Mejía. Why did he hit you? It was him, wasn't it?
Why?
Yes, it was Guillermo.
And does any justification ever exist for this?
There's no justification for violence.
And especially not against a woman.
I'm sorry, but you need to report him.
If you don't, I will.
What for? To create another scandal that will benefit your candidate?
No, how can you...? Please. That has nothing to do with this.
And I'll take this opportunity to apologize.
Maybe it wasn't right, the way we,
the way we should have...
met, OK?
But that doesn't have anything to do with political campaigns or any of that,
it's just that he's... he's going to keep doing it.
It's the first time he's done it and I won't allow him to do it again.
You already opened that door. You need to report it.
He can't, he can't do this.
I don't want him to...
to abuse you. To hurt you...
I don't want to keep talking about Guillermo.
