VENEZUELA BORDER - COLOMBIA

-[thunder rumbling] -[rain pattering]

[groans softly]

[woman] "You lost a country inside yourselves,"

said Yolanda Pantin.

But which country exactly?

The one you are leaving behind? Or the one we forgot?

My message to you is that you not forget it.

Today, more than ever, we need unity.

It's the only way to move forward.

[indistinct chatter]

I take advantage of this chance today

to also share with you some news of hope.

Change is coming.

The moment we've waited for so long.

We must be ready.

Keep our eyes open.

Because once it starts, nothing will stop it.

-My people, this is just the beginning. -We buy hair! We buy your hair!

Sincerely, from my cell, Miguel Carpado."

[soldier] Hey!

Hey! Listen!

Those who haven't paid, line up there.

What now? What's up?

That idiot, Jason.

-They called him "Cheese Face." -Ah. [chuckles]

He was in a gas smuggling truck.

They were moving 5,000 liters of gas.

They had a flat tire, went off-road, crashed and got blown the fuck up.

They said they found a shoe 200 meters from the site.

Got burnt to shit.

What's this prick doing here?

Freeze!

[gun cocks]

Hands up!

How did you find me?

Who's this guy?

This is a guerrilla who betrayed us and now works for the police.

Every time he turns up, something bad happens.

What the fuck are you doing here?

[exhales] Don't worry. I'm not here for you.

I'm looking for missile scopes that surely went through here.

What scopes, idiot?

Stop talking so much shit!

[Edilson] Wait.

Wait.

You know what will happen if El Buitre finds out.

Finds out what?

Hmm?

[sirens wailing in distance]

[Sandra] All the girls here are voting for you.

And the one who isn't, we'll convince her.

-Okay. -[both chuckle]

[knocking on door]

Can you wait a second? I haven't finished with her.

[Mérida] Don't worry, I need to speak to the candidate.

-Sandrita, can you give me one second? -Yes, of course, whatever you need.

Your boss knows you're here?

I have no boss, Daniela.

No? And what about Cardona? Is he a co-worker?

He's part of the organization.

Ah, so he didn't send you here.

"The leader of tomorrow."

You came to help with the slogan?

Why the hostility?

First, I came to congratulate you on the whole Navas' powdered milk scandal.

Too bad it didn't reflect on the polls.

I have ten minutes, Mérida.

Daniela, stop wasting your time.

Excuse me?

We both know you won't be president.

How's your husband?

You still call him "husband"?

You don't?

Did you come to intimidate me?

Not to intimidate you.

I come as a friend.

Friends work together.

Perfect, then get to the point.

If you really want to work for Colombia,

being president isn't the way.

So what is the way? Enlighten me.

A ministry, for example?

Attorney general?

Easy! That's a good way to work for this country.

Okay.

You're giving away ministries,

look at you. Are you that frightened? [chuckles]

It's not fear, Daniela.

It's confidence.

We don't doubt for a second

that we are going to win. And you will lose.

In chess, only one king wins.

But the other pieces get the trophies.

It's better to be a bishop than the king.

And I won't deny

that the graphs will look nicer with your votes on our side.

[scoffs softly]

Sleep on it.

Mérida.

Tell your boss...

this bishop still has a lot of fight in it.

[Jhon] When the commanders find out you let them through,

you're all getting fucked.

Anything strange come through in the last three days?

[soldier] Nothing strange, sir.

Same old.

Ladies with crying babies,

families and farmers.

The usual.

But yesterday some ladies went through carrying white coolers.

In which you carry ice.

Yeah, but missiles wouldn't fit in a cooler.

But the scopes would.

They need to be kept cold.

[sighs] Oh, for fuck's sake!

[grunts loudly]

How many?

How many coolers, shitface?

Five or six.

-[El Buitre] Five? Five? -I don't know.

[El Buitre] Six? Huh?

Get up, sucker!

You go with this guy, with a gas smuggler, you get those bitches...

and you bring me those fucking scopes!

With a gas smuggler?

Do you have a problem with that, you little fuck?

[indistinct chatter]

DANIELA LEÓN - PRESIDENT

Okay, clones, what do the stats look like today?

DAYS LEFT - 5

5TH VOTING INTENTION POLL FOR PRESIDENCY FIRST ROUND

Yes, but this is not a crime.

[Carmen] She's 16.

What?

What's wrong with men, God!

If we release that, it's going to be a bomb.

-You are the politician? -Are you single? Which hotel are you at?

[Daniela] Is this girl okay?

[Carmen] Yes. Her parents found out before they could meet.

NOW YOU CAN SEE IT'S ME.

[Daniela] Are we sure this came from his personal account?

Yes, it seems to be so.

Where did you get this?

The same place all these things are found, Daniela.

It comes from "You better not ask."

-So? -I don't know.

I don't want to get involved in sex scandals.

You know no one messes with that here.

Private life is private.

Daniela, Cardona is a predator.

If he acts like this as a candidate, can you imagine him as president?

[sighs]

Look, Daniela. It's the final stretch.

We only have five days to win this.

And the polls show you at third place. Unless we do something now,

-you won't get to the second round. -Okay!

But can't we do something different?

No. We've done all we could.

And the parents? Why didn't they go public?

Because they don't want trouble.

Fine, reason enough to keep it quiet.

Have you heard the phrase, "You've got to crack a few eggs to make an omelette"?

That can't be our motto, Carmen.

If we win, we'll do it by fighting. I won't go public with this.

[Edilson] Hey!

-Did you check the tires before you left? -What?

Did you check the tires before you left?

[canisters rattling]

Ramón, are you seeing someone?

[knocking on door]

Come in.

You haven't had lunch, have you?

No, maybe later.

Daniela, it's 4:00 p.m. Please. You need to stop and eat something.

My granddaughter...

downloaded an app for me to get food delivered.

-Really? -It's called Rappi.

[Daniela sighs]

How's your back?

The same.

With age,

you realize there's some pain that you just have to learn to live with.

After the debate in Medellín...

Navas' people came up to me.

Really?

What did they want? An alliance?

Yes. That's exactly what they told me.

[Daniela] Hmm.

That it was time for allies.

Hmm. And what did they offer? A ministry?

Mmm-mmm. An embassy.

Really? Oof!

Imagine! They owe so much to so many people...

-[Daniela chuckles] -...they have no ministries left.

I can imagine.

[sniffs] Which embassy?

Spain.

-Spain? -Mmm-hmm.

What was their face like when you said no?

You said no, right?

Okay, Daniela...

The thing is,

who am I to make those decisions for you?

Things here always get done like this. No need to get upset.

"If you listen to the devil, you'll end up obeying."

So says my aunt.

While we're at it, mine says,

"Some more, some less, but we all hide something."

Look, Daniela.

Carmen's game is very dangerous.

Those messages from Cardona with that girl...

-are a time bomb. -Yes.

There aren't many rules in politics,

but one of them is you don't mess with family.

[engine rumbling]

[banging on roof]

They are up ahead!

[horn honking]

[horn honking]

[brakes squeal and hiss]

[man] Man, I told you those ladies went down the old road.

-What old road? -The one that leads to the Berlin Moors.

That's the one.

Berlin Moors? It's so fucking cold.

And obviously less guarded.

-When did you drop them off? -This morning.

Take us to where you dropped them off.

No way. I have to take all these people. They paid.

These people can wait.

Orders from El Buitre.

What are you going to do?

Besides, I won't ride that fucking truck again.

[Javier] Hey, sir!

Hey, sir!

These are my wife and my two kids. Have you seen them?

Have you seen them around, sir?

[indistinct chatter]

[cell phone ringing and vibrating]

I don't get it, this speech is in case you win or lose?

Is it that bad? Let me see.

It's not bad, but it's missing authority.

-Conviction. -[knocking on door]

We're busy, one moment.

[Stefany] "While candidate Daniela León called a family photo shoot,

her husband was doing this."

[sighs]

While candidate Daniela León called

a family photo shoot, her husband was doing this.

What do the journalists say?

[Stefany] "Following the news,

the images show Ramón Grisales, Daniela León's husband,

sharing an intimate moment with another woman in a small restaurant.

The images, which have gone viral,

confirm the rumors about candidate León's separation."

Cardona tweeted, too.

What does Cardona say?

[Stefany] "It's no surprise León's marriage is a sham.

From the start, her career has been just that,

a loud woman who can't even govern her house."

Mérida knew about this.

Let's release the story on Cardona and the girl.

[Stefany] What did I miss?

Are we attacking other candidates? More powdered milk?

This is not an attack.

It's a counterattack.

[Carmen] Do it.

[Jhon and Edilson panting]

[Edilson] I need to stop.

Stop? They're way ahead of us. Walk.

I don't give a shit.

I need to stop.

[Edilson grunting]

[groans]

Any news on your family?

No, nothing.

They came this way.

How long ago?

Three days ago.

But they are slow.

They left San Cristóbal headed for Bucaramanga.

I hope to find them tonight or tomorrow.

Did you eat?

Don't worry, I'm okay.

I didn't ask you that. I asked you if you ate something.

This is...

so you get something in your stomach. It's not much, but...

Take a seat.

"People like Cardona shouldn't be in politics anymore."

"Cardona should resign, and rot away in prison."

"People like Cardona need to be castrated."

"Cardona has to leave and let honest people work in politics."

"No more politicians like Cardona."

"We need reliable people for the elections, people like Cardona

make us lose the little faith we still have in institutions."

"To have a good government we need honest people."

An hour and a half more, okay?

DANIELA LEÓN - THE LEADER OF TOMORROW

[Stefany] Hard day?

You love sitting there, right?

I can think better.

Are you upset about Cardona?

I don't know what our game is.

It's winning.

First we have to win, to build the country we want, Stef.

Would you live in a building with a crooked foundation?

There has been nothing illegal here.

How did you win the debate if you didn't use my report?

[groans]

[sighs]

Look,

when I was a little girl, I loved swimming.

So my dad signed me up for classes because he said I was talented.

A girl who trained with me became my best friend.

And the day of the race, she let me win. I was not very good.

My dad was so happy.

He took me out of those classes.

And he signed me up to train

with a swim team, three hours a day everyday for five years.

I never won a race again.

I never saw my friend again.

But I just kept on swimming.

Because then I understood...

I wasn't there because I liked winning.

I was there because I liked swimming.

The question is...

are you here...

because you like winning?

Or because you like swimming?

Go get some rest.

I still have so much to do.

[Stefany sighs]

[marker squeaking]

[Daniela] Already?

Yes.

Voting booths open in eight hours.

[Javier] Why is a Colombian crossing this?

It's a very long story.

Stories are always long.

Tell me yours then.

Well...

My story is similar to these people here.

I used to work for the government.

My wife didn't like the commander.

She said they kidnapped her brother.

We always argued over that.

She didn't get that the commander was the one feeding us.

One day, she left, went to San Cristóbal and took the girls.

My daughters.

Three days ago, I went to see her, but she wasn't there.

So her neighbor told me...

she started walking to Colombia along this route.

That's it.

I supported the revolution for jack shit.

To change a country,

and then I forced my children to live in that hell.

Do you have children?

Yes. One.

A wife?

Yes, kind of.

[sighs]

Some advice, Jhon.

There's no better place than being with your family.

[wind whistling]

[exhales]

Eat. We have to keep going.

And this guy?

He's looking for his family.

Let's go.

[Alex] The Public Registry has just opened election day

to the first presidential round.

The candidates Carlos Andrés Navas,

Rafael Cardona, Alexandra Farah and Daniela León

will fight for the presidency of Colombia for the next four years.

Moreover, it was announced that for this election,

96,657 polling stations have been established

throughout the country.

According to the Registry, for the election day,

36 million Colombians are able to vote

in what's expected to be the tightest election in recent years.

[Jhon] Have you seen ladies with coolers?

Don't worry, we'll find them. Let's go.

[blows sharply]

Put it on.

Do you want to end up like them?

[cell phone ringing and vibrating]

Hello?

[recording playing] Hi. I'm Daniela León, your candidate for president.

I'll tell you the five reasons you should vote for me this Sunday.

Colombia is a...

[sighs]

What happened?

Political ad with my voice.

-You're waking people up at this hour? -Of course not.

That must be another campaign using my voice.

That's it.

No one will vote for the idiot who wakes them up campaigning at 3:00 a.m.

[groans] Fuck!

[groans]

It shows how rotten we are in this country.

[Daniela sighs]

When did we last see a grand gesture from a politician?

-Hmm? -One who didn't get killed.

[Daniela exclaims]

When have they ever...

seen beyond the four years and said,

"This is not for me,

this is for the people.

I'll do it right."

Do you think...

I can be a good president?

It's not just an illusion of mine?

Well...

[Omar] I've known politicians all my life.

I've worked with them.

And I've seen so much shit.

I've been putting blank votes all my life.

And in a couple of hours, I'll get up and go vote for you.

BLANK

I believe in Daniela León.

DANIELA LEÓN FOR A NEW COLOMBIA COALITION

To win it all.

Cleanly, no cheating.

That's more important than anything else.

I'll make some coffee.

Dani.

[clears throat]

Today is important.

Enjoy it.

Maybe in two months, you'll...

[chuckles]

You'll be looking out the presidential palace windows. [chuckles]

[Daniela chuckles]

[wind whistling]

Ma'am, my wife, and my two daughters, have you seen them walking here?

-Sure? -[woman 1] I haven't.

Have you seen coolers?

Have you seen them walking here?

My wife and my two daughters, have you seen them walking here?

-[man] No. -Look, my wife and daughters.

Have you seen them on the road over there?

-No. -No?

[woman 2] Help me, please!

Help!

Help!

Help me! Please! Help me!

Mariela! Mariela!

-Mariela! -Dad!

[crying] Mariela! Mariela!

[Mariela crying]

-Where's your mom? -She looks bad, Dad!

Where, darling?

Let's go, where are they? Where?

Where, honey?

[both panting]

Where?

Where? Near here?

Jhon!

Jhon!

We have other things to do!

[Javier] Ana!

Ana!

Ana!

Ana!

Ana!

[Mariela crying] I can't remember, Dad!

[Javier] Ana!

[Edilson] Have you seen ladies with iceboxes?

Have you seen ladies with coolers?

Ladies with coolers, have you seen them?

No, you sure?

Anyone seen some ladies with white fucking coolers?

[man] Yes.

Where?

[man] They've been walking over there for a while now.

But where?

-On the road. They were, like, waiting-- -How long ago?

Like 20 minutes.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS 2020 - FIRST ROUND

We're in second place.

-So we're still in the game. -Yes.

...with your little sister and your mom, okay?

It's here. Easy.

-Ana! -[Edilson] Jhon!

Jhon!

The ladies are down there. Some guy saw them.

You sure?

You think I'd make this shit up, you idiot?

[Edilson panting]

We'll lose them.

We'll lose them!

[Jhon panting]

[Jhon and Edilson panting]

[Edilson] There they are!

PARAMEDICS

[Edilson] Hey!

[Jhon and Edilson panting]

Fuck!

We need a car.

[Edilson groans]

Jhon!

Jhon!

We need a car!

[Alex] Attention! We have the second election report.

Five hundred and ninety-six polling stations with 0.60%.

Carlos Andrés Navas: 43%

Rafael Cardona: 24%

Daniela León: 22%

Others: 11%

We repeat, this is the second election report...

Fuck, Between Navas and Cardona? Who do we vote for now?

[Alex] ...0.60% of 96,657 polling stations throughout the city.

With this result, Carlos Andrés Navas...

We still have a chance, right?

[Alex] Keep an eye out for the third report of the elections.

We'll keep you informed.

Javier!

Ana!

[woman crying in distance]

Javier!

Ana!

[Mariela and Javier sobbing]

[Mariela] Mommy!

[muffled indistinct chatter]

[muffled indistinct chatter]

-Mom! -[Jhon] The girl is alive.

[muffled] Mariela, let's get out of here.

-[Mariela screaming] -Come on!

Let's go.

Sir, please.

She needs a hospital. It's a young girl.

Sir!

The third report is out.

[door closes]

Shit.

Ma'am, please, it's just a girl. She needs to go to the hospital.

-I'm going back for my wife. -Go.

You go, I'll go back for her.

[panting]

DANIELA LEÓN - PRESIDENT THE LEADER OF TOMORROW

[Daniela thinking] Because Colombians' problems are my problems.

[Daniela] Colombians,

when I decided to run for president,

I did it with the decision to work for Colombia.

That...

has been my foundation since I worked as attorney general.

And will be until I die.

This is your achievement.

A country that believes in change.

We're going to the second round with all the support from citizens.

[all cheering]

And we will fight without falling for provocations.

Our win will be straightforward.

With honest action.

We'll show people why we are the best option for this country.

That's all that matters.

Because in Colombia, you can become president with honesty.

And we will set that example.

[all cheering]

[people chanting] Daniela is our president!

What we're looking for is in Bogotá.

We couldn't stop it.

[inhales deeply]

I can't keep doing this.

Don't call me again.

[inhales sharply]

[crying softly]
