Ana's Revenge (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 17 - Episode #1.17 - full transcript
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mommy!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
I could have sworn you had
a bunch of suitors and commitments.
No. It is very hard to have
a stable relationship with my lifestyle,
- honestly.
- OK.
Do you know why you say that?
It's gonna sound cliché, right?
You say that because
no one has made you fall in love yet.
What did you do to her?
You killed her!
No, no. She's gonna be OK.
No! Help!
- Enough.
- Help!
Be quiet.
You ran over my mom!
No. I didn't run anyone over.
Yes! You hit her with the car!
...20 days until Colombians elect
the Nation's new president.
Guillermo Mejía
and Ramiro Pérez,
candidates who are leading the polls,
haven't revealed the names
of their candidates for vice president.
Carlos.
How are you?
How have you been?
We're doing OK.
What do you mean
you're getting divorced, bro?
Imagine that.
How do you want to do things?
Whichever way is most convenient
for my daughter.
We have ten days
to respond to the lawsuit,
so don't worry about that.
Instead, tell me why
you're getting divorced.
Carolina and I have had problems since...
We've had problems for a long time.
And I caught her with someone.
What grounds has she given
for the lawsuit?
She stated "irreconcilable differences".
Does this have to do with money?
No. Money is not important, Carlos.
For me, the most important thing
is my daughter.
I don't understand
why she's suing for custody.
Because she's hurt.
And she doesn't want to separate.
And she wants to use Heli
to control me, but I won't let her.
Then we're gonna ask the judge
to order an investigation on Carolina
to prove she's the guilty spouse.
No, no, Carlos.
Wait a second.
I don't want to hurt Carolina, OK?
I only want to reach a fair agreement
regarding my daughter.
The end. OK?
If that's what you want,
then I can respond to the lawsuit,
meanwhile, talk to Carolina,
try to reach an agreement with her.
That's important. Because if this goes
to court, it could get complicated.
- What are you doing?
- I'm going back to Colombia.
Colombia? Why?
I have to go to the mediation
and Pablo wants to talk.
Well, then, answer his calls.
No, you don't understand.
I can't handle my divorce from far away.
This is about my daughter.
Besides, I won't allow Pablo
to bring another woman into the house.
- It sounds as if you're jealous.
- I'm furious!
I'm furious
because everything is going wrong.
"Everything"?
What is everything, Carolina?
Be honest for once in your life.
What is everything?
Did you think that by threatening
Pablo with taking his child,
he would come back to you?
You don't understand
because you have lost nothing.
On the other hand, my marriage
and daughter are on the line!
Your marriage.
Do you really want
to separate or not?
Of course not!
And I've always been honest with you.
- Then I don't know what I'm doing here.
- Me neither.
Why are you like this with me?
What have I done to you?
Because of you my life is over!
You showed up in the wrong place
and Pablo saw us
and I will never forgive you for that!
Don't you realize
this is your fault?
- These are your decisions.
- Fine, I admit it.
You are the worst mistake of my life
and I want to fix it.
So go away and leave me alone!
This is Liliana Camargo,
the one you recommended to Mejía
to be his vice president.
Yes, he liked her
because she's Ramiro Pérez's ex,
but it's not enough to hire her.
But her studies and work are.
She has a degree in Foreign Affairs,
studied diplomacy in France and Spain,
then traveled to Kenya
to work with an NGO.
And came back to be in charge
of the Ministry of Social Welfare.
She's very well prepared,
but the best part is she's ambitious.
Her best qualification is her work
on behalf of Colombian women.
OK. Achievements?
Community leader
for more than 12 years.
Works with women who are the head
of the family, single or separated.
- Weaknesses?
- She probably won't accept
because she hates everything
Mejía represents,
and fully criticizes
the traditional policy.
Well, then,
let's talk about her private life.
She divorced Pérez...
And it ended badly.
OK. It means she's hurt and angry.
Well, those two emotions
give us the energy
to have a good confrontation
in the political arena.
- Children?
- She lost one.
- Do we know how?
- It's a complete secret.
The irony is that she's the one
who should be in the presidential race.
- Instead of who?
- Instead of Pérez.
- How come?
- They say her marriage ended
because she didn't get
the same opportunities.
Pérez did in the party.
But we haven't found anything
to confirm that officially.
I mean, we just know she was married
and pregnant with Pérez's child.
Both wanted to be elected,
but the party supported Pérez, and...
And then, she lost the baby.
And she separated from her husband
and her party.
OK.
Then we have to look for a way
to approach her
to make her see she can achieve
her greatest ambitions with Mejía.
It's a shame that such a deserving woman
will ruin herself
by being his running mate.
Not necessarily.
Because first, I'm gonna convince her
to work with Mejía
and then I'm gonna turn her against him.
How?
Let's see. She defends women,
and what does Mejía represent?
Of course. A stalker...
- and a woman's killer.
- Exactly.
So, what we're gonna do
is convince her to work with Mejía
and when we put Mejía in jail
for being corrupt...
we'll let Liliana finish him.
You have to contact her.
Today she'll be in working-class
neighborhoods talking to mothers.
Dorita.
Manuel José's illness is gonna end up
making me sick too.
You haven't told me what's wrong with him.
Cancer.
What?
And it's confirmed?
Confirmed. Yes.
Why didn't you tell me before?
Because we just found out too.
Let's think positively.
Surely...
there are many treatments
he can have.
Oh, Rosario,
what am I gonna do without Manuel José?
What am I gonna do?
Yes, good afternoon.
Do you have something cold to drink?
Froggy!
What's up? Oh, you look good.
You kept your promise.
- You made time to see me.
- I always keep my promises.
Help me out.
What else, Froggy? To what do I owe
the pleasure of seeing you here?
Nothing. OK.
Come in. Welcome.
Hey, did your injured arm get better?
Oh, yes. I'm made of rubber.
Do you want something to drink?
No, honestly,
I came for something in particular.
- Spill.
- Do you know Liliana Camargo?
Yes.
Yes. I've heard of her here
in the neighborhood.
The ladies say she's very smart
and tough, among other things,
but I don't think so.
- Why?
- She's a politician.
No. Liliana has worked for many years
for single mothers
and has achieved great things.
Well, if you say so...
What's that got to do with me?
Well, the thing is,
I need someone who I trust
to go to some forums where she'll be,
and that person is you.
- Really?
- Yes.
Me?
Froggy, of course I'll go,
but what do I have to do?
- Well, make her notice you.
- Oh, I'm great at that.
OK. She's someone
who likes to talk to people
and hear about their problems firsthand.
You simply have to go.
- You're bold, right?
- That's right.
Right away, Froggy. I'll do it.
I'll help you.
You know
I've always got your back, right?
You know I've got yours too, right?
For anything.
Of course I do, yes.
Oh, don't get sentimental
because I'll choke.
No, honey. Not with me.
- Want a drink or can you help take this?
- Yes.
- Give me something fresh, I'll take this.
- Help me with the kites.
Let's see.
And I've accompanied,
in his public and private life,
Congressman Guillermo León Mejía,
today's presidential candidate.
But I'm also the person
who has managed
all his shady business.
Manuel José is very sick.
Do you know anything about that?
No. No idea.
If anything happens to him, it could
impact our campaign finances.
And our business
with the construction company.
Memo, don't worry about that,
because I'm in charge.
Besides, that runs itself. I...
It works very smoothly
with our people on the inside.
I insist.
If Manuel José dies...
it is very likely his children
will stick their noses in there.
And I don't want them
to catch us off guard.
You should be the first one interested
in figuring out
exactly how he's doing,
because if your cousins intervene
in the construction business,
and discover something,
guess who will be the first one
to get screwed?
This is very hard, son.
Because, apart from this disease,
I can't stop thinking
about the construction company.
And just now,
when I was looking back on my life,
I realized that I have been...
a fool.
How did I put everything
into Santiago's hands?
What do you mean, Dad? You...
Don't you trust him?
He's not my son.
And I didn't work this hard
my whole life
so that I could leave what's mine
in his hands. No.
Dad, listen to me.
I promised you I'd be in charge
of the construction company, right?
But I need you
to give me your endorsement
to make decisions if I have to.
You have it.
You have it, son.
Honestly, you don't know
how happy I am to hear you say that.
You are going to be the head
of the family when I'm gone.
Son!
Stop, lie down, OK?
How are you doing?
Stop. Lie down. No, Dad.
This disease...
has made me look to the future,
where, logically, I won't be.
Dad.
Dad, please.
You're going to be here.
Because we're doing everything
so that won't happen, OK?
Pablo, listen to me.
And you too, David,
both of you listen to me.
I...
I want...
you to go back to the family business.
We have to be strong,
OK?
Especially for Mom.
She's really scared.
And Dad is worried
about the construction business, OK?
You were there, right?
Yes.
I was there,
but I would like to review...
the subject a little deeper.
What happened?
What do you need?
I need you to hire an auditor
and review the books thoroughly.
OK.
Mr. Pablo?
- Yes?
- Councilman Santiago has arrived
- and went upstairs to see your parents.
- Excellent, Ruth, thank you.
- Yes, sir.
- We'll be upstairs. Thank you.
Don't say anything to Santiago.
Why not?
So we don't alert him.
Do you suspect
he's doing something strange
at the construction business?
I don't know.
That's what we have to find out.
OK?
Let's go.
Impossible that
there's no treatment available.
That's what the doctors say.
I think you should be in a clinic,
getting the best care.
Please, Santiago.
Don't... Don't say nonsense.
Where could I get better care
than here?
At home with my wife and children.
What's up, Santiago? How are you?
- Hi, Santiago.
- Hi.
Not good.
I'm taken aback by the news
about my uncle.
How did you find out?
My sister spoke with your mom.
Guillermo sends his regards.
He couldn't come.
He had a lot of commitments
he couldn't cancel,
but when he's done, he'll come.
He's always so considerate.
Tell Memo not to worry.
With how busy he is,
I hope he doesn't...
cancel commitments because of me. No.
Uncle, he'll always have time for you.
- I'm sorry.
- Uncle.
I think it's best you rest, right?
- It's time for the medication.
- Yes, Mom.
Get well, OK?
I mean, I hope you...
Don't worry.
I understand.
Say hi to Guillermo, please.
With pleasure. Excuse me.
- Bye.
- Take care. See you.
We're not going to wait for food
to fall from the sky,
- are we? No, of course not.
- No.
That is why we have created
these community kitchens.
Because while we eat,
we are creating business opportunities.
We are going to teach our children
that things can be achieved
with hard work. Of course.
But also, above all...
- United!
- That's right.
Luzma.
That woman is tough. You invited me.
Are you ready? Who is going to sign up
for the free workshops?
- Me!
- OK.
OK, but only the ones
who have finished eating.
Come after you've finished.
We're going to be here for a while.
- Let's see, what's your name? Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- Dora Serna. Nice to meet you.
- Hi. Dora.
Liliana. Have you thought about
what you'd like to sign up for?
Look, we have entrepreneurship programs,
food management,
local marketing, family finances.
What about that thing you said in English?
How do you do it?
I'll tell you how you do it.
You add a bit of that tenacity
I see in your eyes,
and you'll see,
you'll accomplish a lot.
Don't worry, we're going
to teach you everything. Look.
- Here's all the information.
- Yes?
- This?
- Yes. They'll tell you.
Tell her how it all works.
Culinary? There are gastronomy programs
so you can sign up.
What else have you thought about?
What do you like? Fashion design?
Of course.
How long does he have?
I don't know that.
What I can tell you is
it's the most aggressive kind of cancer.
And at the moment,
there isn't a treatment.
Does this old bastard have
to die right now?
Look, Memo, things at the construction
company are exactly the same.
They haven't changed at all.
I'm in charge,
my cousins are excluded...
I saw them there.
And are the accounts hidden well?
Because you know that no one can notice
that we've been stealing
Manuel José's money for years
with parallel contracts, right?
That's right.
You've made yourself clear, right?
If something happens...
I'm screwed.
It's good that you understand,
so you won't make mediocre decisions
like you always do, right?
Right?
I'm sorry.
- Good day.
- You too.
I'm arranging to hire Liliana Camargo
like you wanted,
so we will probably have to meet
with her soon.
Well, organize your people
and schedule it at our convenience.
- OK.
- Hey.
You think she'll say yes?
If she has doubts,
I'll reassure her. Don't worry.
No, since you've been here,
I've known that.
News from Liliana.
I'll let you know, OK?
Hello? What happened?
Did you meet her?
Yes. I'm here with her.
But it's your turn, Froggy,
because she's going to La Herradura
to hold workshops.
OK. I'll see you soon.
Hurry.
Besides, this world wouldn't be the same
without us, right?
- No!
- Of course not.
What we want to do here
is create a space for that.
So that we can acknowledge each other.
We don't need anyone to acknowledge us.
Because we are acknowledging ourselves
and we're going to work as a team, OK?
So welcome to this space
that was made for you.
That woman is tough.
You were right.
And my neighbors too.
I can't believe I haven't seen her.
But now I'm her fan.
Well, now you have to introduce me
to her, right?
That's what I don't understand, Froggy.
Why do you want me to introduce you
if I'm no one? What am I going to do?
What do you mean you're no one?
Don't say that ever again. You're someone.
I know!
Don't get all profound now.
No, I know, I meant,
why am I introducing you?
You're that guy's advisor.
What am I going to say?
"Oh, hi, meet my friend."
If you tell her you're Mejía's advisor,
she'll be impressed by you.
Me? You think she'll be impressed by me?
- Of course.
- No,
because she isn't impressed
by Mejía, Dorita.
On the other hand, if it's you,
who is part of the group she supports,
it'll be different.
Oh... I understand.
- I'll introduce you.
- OK, let's go.
I don't know if you know,
this started as a local initiative.
Because we started in the town of Usme.
But today I have the pleasure
of telling all of you
that this is now a national initiative.
We're all across the whole country,
because that's what we want,
we want everyone to have
what they deserve.
OK? Go ahead.
There are also things for children.
Enjoy this market that has
a bit of everything.
It has chips, salt, and sugar
to make your delicious sugar water.
Oh, who's this beautiful baby?
- What's his name?
- Ángel.
Ángel? He's an angel.
I know. I know what it's like
because I'm the daughter
of a single mother.
And we both endured the good
and the bad times, but we got through it.
And I remember when I was little,
I wanted to help her.
So one day I took all my toys,
everything I had,
which wasn't much, to the door
and said: "I'm selling this."
I want to help pay our debts."
Obviously, I didn't sell anything.
But that day, I promised myself
I would help my mom
and get her through it.
And I did.
And I did it representing all the women
and all the daughters
who want to help their mothers, but can't.
And I want us to give ourselves
a big applause
because this is change.
We're creating the change
we want to see, OK?
My beautiful queen, take this.
- Thank you.
- No, thank you.
I love seeing you here.
Come on, honey.
Look what we have.
- Oh, a market.
- Lili!
- Lili!
- Dorita.
Go on. Sign up, OK?
- Hi!
- Oh, you remembered by name.
You're following me, right?
Don't forget,
I have a great memory.
And even more so for a pretty face.
Oh, thank you so much for the compliment.
But look, I have another pretty face.
I wanted to introduce you.
You've been introduced.
Nice to meet you.
I congratulate you, Liliana.
I love the work you're doing
for the women of this country.
- Analía Guerrero.
- Yes, I know who you are.
You are Mejía's advisor.
That's not important.
The important thing is
she's been my friend for many years.
- Really?
- Yes.
I know you're very busy, Liliana,
and the last thing I want is
to interrupt your work.
But I would love to buy you coffee.
I have an offer for you.
I love coffee and honestly,
you look very nice,
but the truth is I don't have time
for coffee.
So, if you want, make your offer.
We would really like you to come
to the campaign headquarters.
We want you to talk to Senator Mejía.
No, thank you.
The truth is, Senator Mejía and I
are on different pages.
So, if you want to link me
with the campaign in any way,
you're wasting your time.
But why?
If Guillermo and you create an alliance,
that would mean that the majorities
and minorities of this country
would finally be united.
Strengthening the latter, of course.
You have to know something.
In La Herradura,
we like Mejía a lot.
Yes. Well, he solved
a very big problem here.
Yes, I saw it on the news.
Well, then,
if you heard it on the news,
you realize he announced
he was going to support all communities
with his new job and education programs.
That is very similar
to what you promote.
Yes, the thing is,
it is very difficult for me
to fight for my people
next to a man who promotes
and represents everything
I've been fighting against.
I beg to differ.
I am sure you can reach a point
where both of you are satisfied,
despite your apparently
irreconcilable views.
At the end of the day,
what is politics about?
Isn't it about starting conversations?
About creating change
to achieve a better country?
I like how you talk, Analía.
But I also like being coherent
in what I do and say.
So we better leave it at that.
Excuse me.
- Do you remember the Equity Foundation?
- Of course I do. Come.
She hit you hard, Froggy.
But you tried.
It's as if you don't know me, Dorita.
I don't try.
I accomplish.
Santiago told me what's happening
with Manuel José.
- I'm so sorry.
- Yes.
Everything was so sudden.
We weren't prepared.
Honestly, I'm still shocked.
How is he?
I would like to see him.
It's not possible at the moment,
Guillermo. My dad is in a lot of pain.
And hasn't slept until now.
Of course.
It's important for him to rest
whenever he can.
Which isn't often,
because the pain is terrible.
And he barely complains.
Well, all of you know
we're family
and you can count on Rosario and me
for anything you need.
Yes, thank you.
Guillermo, since you're here,
I would like to talk to you.
Do you have time?
Yes, of course.
That's why I'm here, to see you.
Then I'll leave you alone to talk.
Excuse me.
I'm very sorry for what's happening
to your dad.
Yes, that's exactly
what I wanted to talk about.
As you know, many things...
change, right?
Yes. I can imagine.
We won't be able
to continue financing you.
And I understand how difficult
the situation is, Pablo.
But I'm sure when I talk to Manuel José,
he won't agree
- with the decision.
- I don't think you understood.
I want you to know
that from now on,
I'm gonna be in charge
of my family's resources,
including the contributions
we've given you, Guillermo.
Understand this,
we won't be giving you more money.
I don't think
you can contradict your dad,
who has supported me
his whole life.
My dad gave me his approval
to use his resources as I see fit.
And I want you to know I'm gonna be
in charge of the construction company.
My campaign and the construction company
are two different things.
No. It's exactly the same, Guillermo.
The funds we've given you come
from the construction company.
So, until I check the family estate,
we won't be able to continue helping you.
You know what I think?
You're doing this
because you think you have something
that can stop me
from becoming president.
You're wrong.
I don't depend
on your family's help.
Then why are you so bothered?
Well, my loves...
But what are you going to tell her?
How are you going to convince her?
With the truth.
Let's go, I need your help again.
Oh, no. I get embarrassed
around that lady.
- Embarrassed, Dorita?
- Oh, no. You're getting intense.
- Here she comes.
- Liliana.
I beg you to forgive me,
but why don't you give me the chance
to talk to you?
Honestly,
I like persistent people,
but there is a thin line between that
and being annoying.
Risking being seen as the latter,
I want you to listen to me
and to understand why it's important
for you to give Mejía a chance
to talk to you.
Believe me.
I would never work with an oligarch.
Honestly.
Why is that?
- Because you and I are the same.
- No. I don't think so.
It's evident you are a person
who's been handed everything
on a silver platter.
No. That isn't even remotely true.
Ask Dorita, like she said,
we've known each other
since we were kids.
It's true.
Like you, I'm a maid's daughter.
And we had to live on the street
for a while.
That's where I met Dorita.
It was a hard time.
We really lived on the street.
And we didn't have someone like you
to stick up for us.
And look at us now.
We've made it through.
But I don't brag
about my achievements.
Because I want to help people like my mom
from my position.
Who, like Dorita said,
didn't have someone like you,
supporting and helping
all these women.
I'll hear your offer and I apologize
for not letting you finish.
We want you to be Guillermo Mejía's
vice president.
Let's state the facts, Liliana.
You've done a daunting amount of work
for all these women, but the truth is,
you need Guillermo's resources
to expand your work
throughout the country.
Believe me.
I promise,
if you join us on this campaign,
you'll make your most ambitious dreams
come true.
I swear.
- Pablo.
- Mom.
Pablo, my God.
You can't stop supporting Guillermo
without your dad's or my consent.
Mom, calm down.
He asked me to be in charge
of his affairs.
OK, do it.
But without damaging the relationship
we have with Guillermo and Rosario.
Besides, your dad hasn't told me
anything about that.
Yes, it's true. But it's because he's weak
and tired, Mom.
Besides, what I told Mejía is true.
We can't support him until we know
what our position is in the company
and what we have.
Why?
You think
we're in financial trouble?
No, Mom.
We're not in trouble, we're OK.
Mom, let me do things,
I know what I'm doing.
This has to do with the fact that
you've joined Ramiro Pérez's campaign,
right?
I'm doing this for my family, OK?
You don't understand, do you?
We have a commitment to Guillermo
and I am so embarrassed.
"Guillermo, Guillermo."
Mom, embarrassed? Please, wake up.
You should have seen his face
when I told him we'd stop supporting him.
You would have realized
that that man only cares
about his campaign.
Bye.
Hello?
Councilman De la Torre,
this is Edgar Contreras from Main Radio.
We know you're part
of Ramiro Pérez's campaign.
That's right.
I joined his campaign recently.
The idea is to strengthen our chances
in the elections, right?
How has your family handled you working
with Guillermo León Mejía's opponent?
We all know Mejía has been supported
by the De la Torre family.
With all due respect,
I support Ramiro Pérez
because I relate
to his politics and ideals.
And because I think
he is the ideal person
to be the next president
of the country.
But who does this imbecile think he is?
First, he takes Manuel José's support away
and now he declares a public war.
I told you, Memo.
We should have stopped him
the moment we realized he didn't agree
with your political views.
No, don't tell me what I should have done.
We need to move.
Listen to me!
We need more important news
that will get everyone's attention
and support.
And where the hell is Analía?
Heli?
Heli.
- Surprise!
- Hello.
- What are you doing here?
- She came today.
And she's staying with us for a week.
OK.
Well, you know what?
I think it's good,
that way we can talk in person.
Since you haven't been able
to answer the phone.
Oh, sorry. I had a lot of problems
with my phone,
but you could have called me
at the hotel.
Can we talk?
Yes, let me finish reading
this chapter to Heli
from this great book Analía gave her.
Then she's all yours.
Oh, sweetie.
Where were we?
It was hard to convince Liliana Camargo
to meet with you.
But at least she's seen our proposal
and now I need you to give the final push.
Why was it hard?
Does she have many doubts?
Well, according to her,
you represent everything
she's fought against her whole life:
Traditional politics.
But you're going to make her see
that she's wrong.
How?
If she's convinced I'm the enemy,
- I don't want to waste my time.
- No, you won't.
Because you're going to convince her.
Look.
She has many ideas she wants
to expand,
involving the women and children
of this country.
And that'll give us what we need to get
to the election with no problems.
Besides,
it would be a great blow to Pérez
to get his ex-wife on our side.
Can you imagine all the information
she could have?
She's going to give us what we need
to get to more than one
of his weak spots.
Did you know Pablo de la Torre
supported him publicly today?
Yes, but...
an ex-wife is better
than a close collaborator, right?
Well, what approach did you take
- to get her to hear me out?
- The social one.
And the one about women.
I think gender equality should be
an important aspect
in your government program,
you know?
Yes, it can be handled easily, for sure.
My team can handle that
if you give me permission.
You have it.
Look.
Here's all the information
on Liliana Camargo.
The most important thing is
the party she was with rejected her
because she favored Pérez
in his presidential race.
And recent information?
Guillermo, please,
use this information discreetly, OK?
Liliana Camargo is the best addition
to your campaign you could have.
My dear Analía...
the best addition is you.
Now let's start over
and give each other a real greeting.
Carolina, what are you doing?
I honestly don't understand.
I understand nothing.
You just sued me
for custody of my daughter.
And then you just come home
as if nothing happened?
Have you gone mad?
Changing your opinion doesn't mean
you're crazy.
Opinion? Opinion about what?
I came back for the mediation
with the judge, because...
Because I prefer
we take care of it ourselves.
I don't understand you, Carolina.
First you say you want to separate,
then you threaten me, you sue me,
and now you want to reconcile?
Why not?
We were letting our anger
control us before. That's why I left.
But I swear I'll quit my job in Chile
and come back to be with you.
Pablo, I can't function without you.
Please, love,
- look at everything I'm doing for you.
- Stop, Carolina! Enough!
The only thing we have to resolve
is the shared custody of our child.
That's it. OK?
If you want to do things that way,
I warn you, it won't be easy.
Did you notice what you just did?
I ask you
because you change every minute, Carolina,
and I don't understand.
You don't even know what you want.
Perfect, then take responsibility
for your actions.
Oh, you're threatening me?
Because let me remind you,
I'm not useless, Carolina.
I can also fight back.
I can talk to the judge.
Oh, yeah? And what is the judge
gonna tell you?
- Who do you think he'll give our kid to?
- Oh, I don't know. You tell me.
- Well, to the mother, of course.
- Why? No, listen to me.
I can prove many things. For example,
you've been an absent mother.
I can talk about that.
I can also say
that I've been taking care of the girl
since she was born.
That you're an unfaithful mom
and that the girl doesn't want to leave
the country. Shall I go on?
You're the worst.
Caro, come on. Let's calm down, OK?
- Give it to me.
- Answer Analía.
Calm down, what's wrong with you?
Do you think I don't know you're with her?
Heli told me.
Analía came to visit the girl,
- that's all she came to do.
- Do you think I'm stupid?
She doesn't care about my daughter!
She only wants to get in bed with you!
Enough, Carolina!
Listen to me.
- Listen to me.
- Let me go!
Listen to me! Don't blame Analía
for our divorce. OK?
Admit your mistakes, Carolina.
Admit yours. You're defending her, what's
wrong with you? This is all your fault.
Hey, hey. Calm down.
Look at yourself.
- You have no idea what it'll cost you...
- Listen to me.
- ...to be with that woman.
- Look at the girl, let's think of her.
- I don't care what she hears.
- Let's stop with the threats. Shut up.
Let go of me.
DEMOCRATIC FORCE PARTY
Thank you. Guillermo.
Liliana, what an honor and a pleasure
to have you here.
A pleasure.
I'm only here because you have
a very insistent and charismatic advisor.
Who's key to my campaign.
But, please, sit.
I know you like
to get straight to the point.
- What a shame.
- You've studied me.
Well, what I'm offering you
doesn't show up twice in one lifetime.
- Analía talked about the vice presidency.
- Yes, and with me,
you'd be very active
because I want to unite our visions
to achieve our political goals,
the ones I know you have in mind.
Liliana,
let's change this country's reality.
- Why me?
- Simple.
You're a leader that likes to listen,
meets standards and knows how to talk.
And women are the champions
in your plans, as are minorities...
although they shouldn't be called that,
right?
Because we want opportunities
for everyone.
This is clearly a political strategy
to get the votes of those sectors.
I don't hide the fact that I want to win,
but I want to do it with the best,
and that's you.
Besides, I know what happened
in your party.
And I can assure you
that will never happen with me.
I value someone with your history
and the ideas you promote.
You're doing this to screw
my ex-husband, right?
Yes.
And all the backwards people
in this country who think
that women can't work
because they give birth...
and who think they don't deserve
the positions we men occupy.
Look who works with me.
A woman.
Why?
Because you have intuition,
a passion
that I want to learn from.
That's why I want a woman sitting
next to me in the Presidential House.
To fulfill everything we promise.
Besides, Liliana,
it's not a secret you wanted to represent
your party in other elections.
No one gave you the opportunity
Guillermo is giving you now.
We need each other.
I have the political structure
you needed to beat Ramiro.
And I have
the same social interests you do.
I don't trust politics,
so let's be clear.
Are you giving me your word?
Do you promise that in your government
we'll work with legitimate laws,
with specific programs
for women's inclusion,
- one for the equality of women?
- Of course.
I want more inclusion for ethnic groups
and the LGTBQ community.
Consider it done.
That's one of our campaign issues.
Let's be a team.
Welcome, Madame Vice President.
Isa,
call the director
of the eight-o'-clock news.
Tell him
Guillermo has an exclusive for him.
We deserve the best drink.
Cheers.
To your new campaign partner.
I'd rather toast to you.
I'm only doing the job
you pay me to do.
And you deserve a raise.
I'm being serious.
You're the best thing that has happened
to my campaign.
And I would dare say to my life.
So I toast to the woman
who surpasses all dreams...
and all expectations.
You.
- You're wrong about me.
- What's wrong? Why?
I'd better go.
Mommy!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
I could have sworn you had
a bunch of suitors and commitments.
No. It is very hard to have
a stable relationship with my lifestyle,
- honestly.
- OK.
Do you know why you say that?
It's gonna sound cliché, right?
You say that because
no one has made you fall in love yet.
What did you do to her?
You killed her!
No, no. She's gonna be OK.
No! Help!
- Enough.
- Help!
Be quiet.
You ran over my mom!
No. I didn't run anyone over.
Yes! You hit her with the car!
...20 days until Colombians elect
the Nation's new president.
Guillermo Mejía
and Ramiro Pérez,
candidates who are leading the polls,
haven't revealed the names
of their candidates for vice president.
Carlos.
How are you?
How have you been?
We're doing OK.
What do you mean
you're getting divorced, bro?
Imagine that.
How do you want to do things?
Whichever way is most convenient
for my daughter.
We have ten days
to respond to the lawsuit,
so don't worry about that.
Instead, tell me why
you're getting divorced.
Carolina and I have had problems since...
We've had problems for a long time.
And I caught her with someone.
What grounds has she given
for the lawsuit?
She stated "irreconcilable differences".
Does this have to do with money?
No. Money is not important, Carlos.
For me, the most important thing
is my daughter.
I don't understand
why she's suing for custody.
Because she's hurt.
And she doesn't want to separate.
And she wants to use Heli
to control me, but I won't let her.
Then we're gonna ask the judge
to order an investigation on Carolina
to prove she's the guilty spouse.
No, no, Carlos.
Wait a second.
I don't want to hurt Carolina, OK?
I only want to reach a fair agreement
regarding my daughter.
The end. OK?
If that's what you want,
then I can respond to the lawsuit,
meanwhile, talk to Carolina,
try to reach an agreement with her.
That's important. Because if this goes
to court, it could get complicated.
- What are you doing?
- I'm going back to Colombia.
Colombia? Why?
I have to go to the mediation
and Pablo wants to talk.
Well, then, answer his calls.
No, you don't understand.
I can't handle my divorce from far away.
This is about my daughter.
Besides, I won't allow Pablo
to bring another woman into the house.
- It sounds as if you're jealous.
- I'm furious!
I'm furious
because everything is going wrong.
"Everything"?
What is everything, Carolina?
Be honest for once in your life.
What is everything?
Did you think that by threatening
Pablo with taking his child,
he would come back to you?
You don't understand
because you have lost nothing.
On the other hand, my marriage
and daughter are on the line!
Your marriage.
Do you really want
to separate or not?
Of course not!
And I've always been honest with you.
- Then I don't know what I'm doing here.
- Me neither.
Why are you like this with me?
What have I done to you?
Because of you my life is over!
You showed up in the wrong place
and Pablo saw us
and I will never forgive you for that!
Don't you realize
this is your fault?
- These are your decisions.
- Fine, I admit it.
You are the worst mistake of my life
and I want to fix it.
So go away and leave me alone!
This is Liliana Camargo,
the one you recommended to Mejía
to be his vice president.
Yes, he liked her
because she's Ramiro Pérez's ex,
but it's not enough to hire her.
But her studies and work are.
She has a degree in Foreign Affairs,
studied diplomacy in France and Spain,
then traveled to Kenya
to work with an NGO.
And came back to be in charge
of the Ministry of Social Welfare.
She's very well prepared,
but the best part is she's ambitious.
Her best qualification is her work
on behalf of Colombian women.
OK. Achievements?
Community leader
for more than 12 years.
Works with women who are the head
of the family, single or separated.
- Weaknesses?
- She probably won't accept
because she hates everything
Mejía represents,
and fully criticizes
the traditional policy.
Well, then,
let's talk about her private life.
She divorced Pérez...
And it ended badly.
OK. It means she's hurt and angry.
Well, those two emotions
give us the energy
to have a good confrontation
in the political arena.
- Children?
- She lost one.
- Do we know how?
- It's a complete secret.
The irony is that she's the one
who should be in the presidential race.
- Instead of who?
- Instead of Pérez.
- How come?
- They say her marriage ended
because she didn't get
the same opportunities.
Pérez did in the party.
But we haven't found anything
to confirm that officially.
I mean, we just know she was married
and pregnant with Pérez's child.
Both wanted to be elected,
but the party supported Pérez, and...
And then, she lost the baby.
And she separated from her husband
and her party.
OK.
Then we have to look for a way
to approach her
to make her see she can achieve
her greatest ambitions with Mejía.
It's a shame that such a deserving woman
will ruin herself
by being his running mate.
Not necessarily.
Because first, I'm gonna convince her
to work with Mejía
and then I'm gonna turn her against him.
How?
Let's see. She defends women,
and what does Mejía represent?
Of course. A stalker...
- and a woman's killer.
- Exactly.
So, what we're gonna do
is convince her to work with Mejía
and when we put Mejía in jail
for being corrupt...
we'll let Liliana finish him.
You have to contact her.
Today she'll be in working-class
neighborhoods talking to mothers.
Dorita.
Manuel José's illness is gonna end up
making me sick too.
You haven't told me what's wrong with him.
Cancer.
What?
And it's confirmed?
Confirmed. Yes.
Why didn't you tell me before?
Because we just found out too.
Let's think positively.
Surely...
there are many treatments
he can have.
Oh, Rosario,
what am I gonna do without Manuel José?
What am I gonna do?
Yes, good afternoon.
Do you have something cold to drink?
Froggy!
What's up? Oh, you look good.
You kept your promise.
- You made time to see me.
- I always keep my promises.
Help me out.
What else, Froggy? To what do I owe
the pleasure of seeing you here?
Nothing. OK.
Come in. Welcome.
Hey, did your injured arm get better?
Oh, yes. I'm made of rubber.
Do you want something to drink?
No, honestly,
I came for something in particular.
- Spill.
- Do you know Liliana Camargo?
Yes.
Yes. I've heard of her here
in the neighborhood.
The ladies say she's very smart
and tough, among other things,
but I don't think so.
- Why?
- She's a politician.
No. Liliana has worked for many years
for single mothers
and has achieved great things.
Well, if you say so...
What's that got to do with me?
Well, the thing is,
I need someone who I trust
to go to some forums where she'll be,
and that person is you.
- Really?
- Yes.
Me?
Froggy, of course I'll go,
but what do I have to do?
- Well, make her notice you.
- Oh, I'm great at that.
OK. She's someone
who likes to talk to people
and hear about their problems firsthand.
You simply have to go.
- You're bold, right?
- That's right.
Right away, Froggy. I'll do it.
I'll help you.
You know
I've always got your back, right?
You know I've got yours too, right?
For anything.
Of course I do, yes.
Oh, don't get sentimental
because I'll choke.
No, honey. Not with me.
- Want a drink or can you help take this?
- Yes.
- Give me something fresh, I'll take this.
- Help me with the kites.
Let's see.
And I've accompanied,
in his public and private life,
Congressman Guillermo León Mejía,
today's presidential candidate.
But I'm also the person
who has managed
all his shady business.
Manuel José is very sick.
Do you know anything about that?
No. No idea.
If anything happens to him, it could
impact our campaign finances.
And our business
with the construction company.
Memo, don't worry about that,
because I'm in charge.
Besides, that runs itself. I...
It works very smoothly
with our people on the inside.
I insist.
If Manuel José dies...
it is very likely his children
will stick their noses in there.
And I don't want them
to catch us off guard.
You should be the first one interested
in figuring out
exactly how he's doing,
because if your cousins intervene
in the construction business,
and discover something,
guess who will be the first one
to get screwed?
This is very hard, son.
Because, apart from this disease,
I can't stop thinking
about the construction company.
And just now,
when I was looking back on my life,
I realized that I have been...
a fool.
How did I put everything
into Santiago's hands?
What do you mean, Dad? You...
Don't you trust him?
He's not my son.
And I didn't work this hard
my whole life
so that I could leave what's mine
in his hands. No.
Dad, listen to me.
I promised you I'd be in charge
of the construction company, right?
But I need you
to give me your endorsement
to make decisions if I have to.
You have it.
You have it, son.
Honestly, you don't know
how happy I am to hear you say that.
You are going to be the head
of the family when I'm gone.
Son!
Stop, lie down, OK?
How are you doing?
Stop. Lie down. No, Dad.
This disease...
has made me look to the future,
where, logically, I won't be.
Dad.
Dad, please.
You're going to be here.
Because we're doing everything
so that won't happen, OK?
Pablo, listen to me.
And you too, David,
both of you listen to me.
I...
I want...
you to go back to the family business.
We have to be strong,
OK?
Especially for Mom.
She's really scared.
And Dad is worried
about the construction business, OK?
You were there, right?
Yes.
I was there,
but I would like to review...
the subject a little deeper.
What happened?
What do you need?
I need you to hire an auditor
and review the books thoroughly.
OK.
Mr. Pablo?
- Yes?
- Councilman Santiago has arrived
- and went upstairs to see your parents.
- Excellent, Ruth, thank you.
- Yes, sir.
- We'll be upstairs. Thank you.
Don't say anything to Santiago.
Why not?
So we don't alert him.
Do you suspect
he's doing something strange
at the construction business?
I don't know.
That's what we have to find out.
OK?
Let's go.
Impossible that
there's no treatment available.
That's what the doctors say.
I think you should be in a clinic,
getting the best care.
Please, Santiago.
Don't... Don't say nonsense.
Where could I get better care
than here?
At home with my wife and children.
What's up, Santiago? How are you?
- Hi, Santiago.
- Hi.
Not good.
I'm taken aback by the news
about my uncle.
How did you find out?
My sister spoke with your mom.
Guillermo sends his regards.
He couldn't come.
He had a lot of commitments
he couldn't cancel,
but when he's done, he'll come.
He's always so considerate.
Tell Memo not to worry.
With how busy he is,
I hope he doesn't...
cancel commitments because of me. No.
Uncle, he'll always have time for you.
- I'm sorry.
- Uncle.
I think it's best you rest, right?
- It's time for the medication.
- Yes, Mom.
Get well, OK?
I mean, I hope you...
Don't worry.
I understand.
Say hi to Guillermo, please.
With pleasure. Excuse me.
- Bye.
- Take care. See you.
We're not going to wait for food
to fall from the sky,
- are we? No, of course not.
- No.
That is why we have created
these community kitchens.
Because while we eat,
we are creating business opportunities.
We are going to teach our children
that things can be achieved
with hard work. Of course.
But also, above all...
- United!
- That's right.
Luzma.
That woman is tough. You invited me.
Are you ready? Who is going to sign up
for the free workshops?
- Me!
- OK.
OK, but only the ones
who have finished eating.
Come after you've finished.
We're going to be here for a while.
- Let's see, what's your name? Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- Dora Serna. Nice to meet you.
- Hi. Dora.
Liliana. Have you thought about
what you'd like to sign up for?
Look, we have entrepreneurship programs,
food management,
local marketing, family finances.
What about that thing you said in English?
How do you do it?
I'll tell you how you do it.
You add a bit of that tenacity
I see in your eyes,
and you'll see,
you'll accomplish a lot.
Don't worry, we're going
to teach you everything. Look.
- Here's all the information.
- Yes?
- This?
- Yes. They'll tell you.
Tell her how it all works.
Culinary? There are gastronomy programs
so you can sign up.
What else have you thought about?
What do you like? Fashion design?
Of course.
How long does he have?
I don't know that.
What I can tell you is
it's the most aggressive kind of cancer.
And at the moment,
there isn't a treatment.
Does this old bastard have
to die right now?
Look, Memo, things at the construction
company are exactly the same.
They haven't changed at all.
I'm in charge,
my cousins are excluded...
I saw them there.
And are the accounts hidden well?
Because you know that no one can notice
that we've been stealing
Manuel José's money for years
with parallel contracts, right?
That's right.
You've made yourself clear, right?
If something happens...
I'm screwed.
It's good that you understand,
so you won't make mediocre decisions
like you always do, right?
Right?
I'm sorry.
- Good day.
- You too.
I'm arranging to hire Liliana Camargo
like you wanted,
so we will probably have to meet
with her soon.
Well, organize your people
and schedule it at our convenience.
- OK.
- Hey.
You think she'll say yes?
If she has doubts,
I'll reassure her. Don't worry.
No, since you've been here,
I've known that.
News from Liliana.
I'll let you know, OK?
Hello? What happened?
Did you meet her?
Yes. I'm here with her.
But it's your turn, Froggy,
because she's going to La Herradura
to hold workshops.
OK. I'll see you soon.
Hurry.
Besides, this world wouldn't be the same
without us, right?
- No!
- Of course not.
What we want to do here
is create a space for that.
So that we can acknowledge each other.
We don't need anyone to acknowledge us.
Because we are acknowledging ourselves
and we're going to work as a team, OK?
So welcome to this space
that was made for you.
That woman is tough.
You were right.
And my neighbors too.
I can't believe I haven't seen her.
But now I'm her fan.
Well, now you have to introduce me
to her, right?
That's what I don't understand, Froggy.
Why do you want me to introduce you
if I'm no one? What am I going to do?
What do you mean you're no one?
Don't say that ever again. You're someone.
I know!
Don't get all profound now.
No, I know, I meant,
why am I introducing you?
You're that guy's advisor.
What am I going to say?
"Oh, hi, meet my friend."
If you tell her you're Mejía's advisor,
she'll be impressed by you.
Me? You think she'll be impressed by me?
- Of course.
- No,
because she isn't impressed
by Mejía, Dorita.
On the other hand, if it's you,
who is part of the group she supports,
it'll be different.
Oh... I understand.
- I'll introduce you.
- OK, let's go.
I don't know if you know,
this started as a local initiative.
Because we started in the town of Usme.
But today I have the pleasure
of telling all of you
that this is now a national initiative.
We're all across the whole country,
because that's what we want,
we want everyone to have
what they deserve.
OK? Go ahead.
There are also things for children.
Enjoy this market that has
a bit of everything.
It has chips, salt, and sugar
to make your delicious sugar water.
Oh, who's this beautiful baby?
- What's his name?
- Ángel.
Ángel? He's an angel.
I know. I know what it's like
because I'm the daughter
of a single mother.
And we both endured the good
and the bad times, but we got through it.
And I remember when I was little,
I wanted to help her.
So one day I took all my toys,
everything I had,
which wasn't much, to the door
and said: "I'm selling this."
I want to help pay our debts."
Obviously, I didn't sell anything.
But that day, I promised myself
I would help my mom
and get her through it.
And I did.
And I did it representing all the women
and all the daughters
who want to help their mothers, but can't.
And I want us to give ourselves
a big applause
because this is change.
We're creating the change
we want to see, OK?
My beautiful queen, take this.
- Thank you.
- No, thank you.
I love seeing you here.
Come on, honey.
Look what we have.
- Oh, a market.
- Lili!
- Lili!
- Dorita.
Go on. Sign up, OK?
- Hi!
- Oh, you remembered by name.
You're following me, right?
Don't forget,
I have a great memory.
And even more so for a pretty face.
Oh, thank you so much for the compliment.
But look, I have another pretty face.
I wanted to introduce you.
You've been introduced.
Nice to meet you.
I congratulate you, Liliana.
I love the work you're doing
for the women of this country.
- Analía Guerrero.
- Yes, I know who you are.
You are Mejía's advisor.
That's not important.
The important thing is
she's been my friend for many years.
- Really?
- Yes.
I know you're very busy, Liliana,
and the last thing I want is
to interrupt your work.
But I would love to buy you coffee.
I have an offer for you.
I love coffee and honestly,
you look very nice,
but the truth is I don't have time
for coffee.
So, if you want, make your offer.
We would really like you to come
to the campaign headquarters.
We want you to talk to Senator Mejía.
No, thank you.
The truth is, Senator Mejía and I
are on different pages.
So, if you want to link me
with the campaign in any way,
you're wasting your time.
But why?
If Guillermo and you create an alliance,
that would mean that the majorities
and minorities of this country
would finally be united.
Strengthening the latter, of course.
You have to know something.
In La Herradura,
we like Mejía a lot.
Yes. Well, he solved
a very big problem here.
Yes, I saw it on the news.
Well, then,
if you heard it on the news,
you realize he announced
he was going to support all communities
with his new job and education programs.
That is very similar
to what you promote.
Yes, the thing is,
it is very difficult for me
to fight for my people
next to a man who promotes
and represents everything
I've been fighting against.
I beg to differ.
I am sure you can reach a point
where both of you are satisfied,
despite your apparently
irreconcilable views.
At the end of the day,
what is politics about?
Isn't it about starting conversations?
About creating change
to achieve a better country?
I like how you talk, Analía.
But I also like being coherent
in what I do and say.
So we better leave it at that.
Excuse me.
- Do you remember the Equity Foundation?
- Of course I do. Come.
She hit you hard, Froggy.
But you tried.
It's as if you don't know me, Dorita.
I don't try.
I accomplish.
Santiago told me what's happening
with Manuel José.
- I'm so sorry.
- Yes.
Everything was so sudden.
We weren't prepared.
Honestly, I'm still shocked.
How is he?
I would like to see him.
It's not possible at the moment,
Guillermo. My dad is in a lot of pain.
And hasn't slept until now.
Of course.
It's important for him to rest
whenever he can.
Which isn't often,
because the pain is terrible.
And he barely complains.
Well, all of you know
we're family
and you can count on Rosario and me
for anything you need.
Yes, thank you.
Guillermo, since you're here,
I would like to talk to you.
Do you have time?
Yes, of course.
That's why I'm here, to see you.
Then I'll leave you alone to talk.
Excuse me.
I'm very sorry for what's happening
to your dad.
Yes, that's exactly
what I wanted to talk about.
As you know, many things...
change, right?
Yes. I can imagine.
We won't be able
to continue financing you.
And I understand how difficult
the situation is, Pablo.
But I'm sure when I talk to Manuel José,
he won't agree
- with the decision.
- I don't think you understood.
I want you to know
that from now on,
I'm gonna be in charge
of my family's resources,
including the contributions
we've given you, Guillermo.
Understand this,
we won't be giving you more money.
I don't think
you can contradict your dad,
who has supported me
his whole life.
My dad gave me his approval
to use his resources as I see fit.
And I want you to know I'm gonna be
in charge of the construction company.
My campaign and the construction company
are two different things.
No. It's exactly the same, Guillermo.
The funds we've given you come
from the construction company.
So, until I check the family estate,
we won't be able to continue helping you.
You know what I think?
You're doing this
because you think you have something
that can stop me
from becoming president.
You're wrong.
I don't depend
on your family's help.
Then why are you so bothered?
Well, my loves...
But what are you going to tell her?
How are you going to convince her?
With the truth.
Let's go, I need your help again.
Oh, no. I get embarrassed
around that lady.
- Embarrassed, Dorita?
- Oh, no. You're getting intense.
- Here she comes.
- Liliana.
I beg you to forgive me,
but why don't you give me the chance
to talk to you?
Honestly,
I like persistent people,
but there is a thin line between that
and being annoying.
Risking being seen as the latter,
I want you to listen to me
and to understand why it's important
for you to give Mejía a chance
to talk to you.
Believe me.
I would never work with an oligarch.
Honestly.
Why is that?
- Because you and I are the same.
- No. I don't think so.
It's evident you are a person
who's been handed everything
on a silver platter.
No. That isn't even remotely true.
Ask Dorita, like she said,
we've known each other
since we were kids.
It's true.
Like you, I'm a maid's daughter.
And we had to live on the street
for a while.
That's where I met Dorita.
It was a hard time.
We really lived on the street.
And we didn't have someone like you
to stick up for us.
And look at us now.
We've made it through.
But I don't brag
about my achievements.
Because I want to help people like my mom
from my position.
Who, like Dorita said,
didn't have someone like you,
supporting and helping
all these women.
I'll hear your offer and I apologize
for not letting you finish.
We want you to be Guillermo Mejía's
vice president.
Let's state the facts, Liliana.
You've done a daunting amount of work
for all these women, but the truth is,
you need Guillermo's resources
to expand your work
throughout the country.
Believe me.
I promise,
if you join us on this campaign,
you'll make your most ambitious dreams
come true.
I swear.
- Pablo.
- Mom.
Pablo, my God.
You can't stop supporting Guillermo
without your dad's or my consent.
Mom, calm down.
He asked me to be in charge
of his affairs.
OK, do it.
But without damaging the relationship
we have with Guillermo and Rosario.
Besides, your dad hasn't told me
anything about that.
Yes, it's true. But it's because he's weak
and tired, Mom.
Besides, what I told Mejía is true.
We can't support him until we know
what our position is in the company
and what we have.
Why?
You think
we're in financial trouble?
No, Mom.
We're not in trouble, we're OK.
Mom, let me do things,
I know what I'm doing.
This has to do with the fact that
you've joined Ramiro Pérez's campaign,
right?
I'm doing this for my family, OK?
You don't understand, do you?
We have a commitment to Guillermo
and I am so embarrassed.
"Guillermo, Guillermo."
Mom, embarrassed? Please, wake up.
You should have seen his face
when I told him we'd stop supporting him.
You would have realized
that that man only cares
about his campaign.
Bye.
Hello?
Councilman De la Torre,
this is Edgar Contreras from Main Radio.
We know you're part
of Ramiro Pérez's campaign.
That's right.
I joined his campaign recently.
The idea is to strengthen our chances
in the elections, right?
How has your family handled you working
with Guillermo León Mejía's opponent?
We all know Mejía has been supported
by the De la Torre family.
With all due respect,
I support Ramiro Pérez
because I relate
to his politics and ideals.
And because I think
he is the ideal person
to be the next president
of the country.
But who does this imbecile think he is?
First, he takes Manuel José's support away
and now he declares a public war.
I told you, Memo.
We should have stopped him
the moment we realized he didn't agree
with your political views.
No, don't tell me what I should have done.
We need to move.
Listen to me!
We need more important news
that will get everyone's attention
and support.
And where the hell is Analía?
Heli?
Heli.
- Surprise!
- Hello.
- What are you doing here?
- She came today.
And she's staying with us for a week.
OK.
Well, you know what?
I think it's good,
that way we can talk in person.
Since you haven't been able
to answer the phone.
Oh, sorry. I had a lot of problems
with my phone,
but you could have called me
at the hotel.
Can we talk?
Yes, let me finish reading
this chapter to Heli
from this great book Analía gave her.
Then she's all yours.
Oh, sweetie.
Where were we?
It was hard to convince Liliana Camargo
to meet with you.
But at least she's seen our proposal
and now I need you to give the final push.
Why was it hard?
Does she have many doubts?
Well, according to her,
you represent everything
she's fought against her whole life:
Traditional politics.
But you're going to make her see
that she's wrong.
How?
If she's convinced I'm the enemy,
- I don't want to waste my time.
- No, you won't.
Because you're going to convince her.
Look.
She has many ideas she wants
to expand,
involving the women and children
of this country.
And that'll give us what we need to get
to the election with no problems.
Besides,
it would be a great blow to Pérez
to get his ex-wife on our side.
Can you imagine all the information
she could have?
She's going to give us what we need
to get to more than one
of his weak spots.
Did you know Pablo de la Torre
supported him publicly today?
Yes, but...
an ex-wife is better
than a close collaborator, right?
Well, what approach did you take
- to get her to hear me out?
- The social one.
And the one about women.
I think gender equality should be
an important aspect
in your government program,
you know?
Yes, it can be handled easily, for sure.
My team can handle that
if you give me permission.
You have it.
Look.
Here's all the information
on Liliana Camargo.
The most important thing is
the party she was with rejected her
because she favored Pérez
in his presidential race.
And recent information?
Guillermo, please,
use this information discreetly, OK?
Liliana Camargo is the best addition
to your campaign you could have.
My dear Analía...
the best addition is you.
Now let's start over
and give each other a real greeting.
Carolina, what are you doing?
I honestly don't understand.
I understand nothing.
You just sued me
for custody of my daughter.
And then you just come home
as if nothing happened?
Have you gone mad?
Changing your opinion doesn't mean
you're crazy.
Opinion? Opinion about what?
I came back for the mediation
with the judge, because...
Because I prefer
we take care of it ourselves.
I don't understand you, Carolina.
First you say you want to separate,
then you threaten me, you sue me,
and now you want to reconcile?
Why not?
We were letting our anger
control us before. That's why I left.
But I swear I'll quit my job in Chile
and come back to be with you.
Pablo, I can't function without you.
Please, love,
- look at everything I'm doing for you.
- Stop, Carolina! Enough!
The only thing we have to resolve
is the shared custody of our child.
That's it. OK?
If you want to do things that way,
I warn you, it won't be easy.
Did you notice what you just did?
I ask you
because you change every minute, Carolina,
and I don't understand.
You don't even know what you want.
Perfect, then take responsibility
for your actions.
Oh, you're threatening me?
Because let me remind you,
I'm not useless, Carolina.
I can also fight back.
I can talk to the judge.
Oh, yeah? And what is the judge
gonna tell you?
- Who do you think he'll give our kid to?
- Oh, I don't know. You tell me.
- Well, to the mother, of course.
- Why? No, listen to me.
I can prove many things. For example,
you've been an absent mother.
I can talk about that.
I can also say
that I've been taking care of the girl
since she was born.
That you're an unfaithful mom
and that the girl doesn't want to leave
the country. Shall I go on?
You're the worst.
Caro, come on. Let's calm down, OK?
- Give it to me.
- Answer Analía.
Calm down, what's wrong with you?
Do you think I don't know you're with her?
Heli told me.
Analía came to visit the girl,
- that's all she came to do.
- Do you think I'm stupid?
She doesn't care about my daughter!
She only wants to get in bed with you!
Enough, Carolina!
Listen to me.
- Listen to me.
- Let me go!
Listen to me! Don't blame Analía
for our divorce. OK?
Admit your mistakes, Carolina.
Admit yours. You're defending her, what's
wrong with you? This is all your fault.
Hey, hey. Calm down.
Look at yourself.
- You have no idea what it'll cost you...
- Listen to me.
- ...to be with that woman.
- Look at the girl, let's think of her.
- I don't care what she hears.
- Let's stop with the threats. Shut up.
Let go of me.
DEMOCRATIC FORCE PARTY
Thank you. Guillermo.
Liliana, what an honor and a pleasure
to have you here.
A pleasure.
I'm only here because you have
a very insistent and charismatic advisor.
Who's key to my campaign.
But, please, sit.
I know you like
to get straight to the point.
- What a shame.
- You've studied me.
Well, what I'm offering you
doesn't show up twice in one lifetime.
- Analía talked about the vice presidency.
- Yes, and with me,
you'd be very active
because I want to unite our visions
to achieve our political goals,
the ones I know you have in mind.
Liliana,
let's change this country's reality.
- Why me?
- Simple.
You're a leader that likes to listen,
meets standards and knows how to talk.
And women are the champions
in your plans, as are minorities...
although they shouldn't be called that,
right?
Because we want opportunities
for everyone.
This is clearly a political strategy
to get the votes of those sectors.
I don't hide the fact that I want to win,
but I want to do it with the best,
and that's you.
Besides, I know what happened
in your party.
And I can assure you
that will never happen with me.
I value someone with your history
and the ideas you promote.
You're doing this to screw
my ex-husband, right?
Yes.
And all the backwards people
in this country who think
that women can't work
because they give birth...
and who think they don't deserve
the positions we men occupy.
Look who works with me.
A woman.
Why?
Because you have intuition,
a passion
that I want to learn from.
That's why I want a woman sitting
next to me in the Presidential House.
To fulfill everything we promise.
Besides, Liliana,
it's not a secret you wanted to represent
your party in other elections.
No one gave you the opportunity
Guillermo is giving you now.
We need each other.
I have the political structure
you needed to beat Ramiro.
And I have
the same social interests you do.
I don't trust politics,
so let's be clear.
Are you giving me your word?
Do you promise that in your government
we'll work with legitimate laws,
with specific programs
for women's inclusion,
- one for the equality of women?
- Of course.
I want more inclusion for ethnic groups
and the LGTBQ community.
Consider it done.
That's one of our campaign issues.
Let's be a team.
Welcome, Madame Vice President.
Isa,
call the director
of the eight-o'-clock news.
Tell him
Guillermo has an exclusive for him.
We deserve the best drink.
Cheers.
To your new campaign partner.
I'd rather toast to you.
I'm only doing the job
you pay me to do.
And you deserve a raise.
I'm being serious.
You're the best thing that has happened
to my campaign.
And I would dare say to my life.
So I toast to the woman
who surpasses all dreams...
and all expectations.
You.
- You're wrong about me.
- What's wrong? Why?
I'd better go.
