6 MONTHS LATER

How are you, Jhon?

I'm OK.

Can you be more specific?

I got a job.

That's good news!

What is it?

Public relations.

Public relations?

Helping former guerilla soldiers?

With the military...

building bridges for peace and all that.

That's great!

-Where did you go? -Shit!

And the city?

Yes.

I think I'm starting to get it.

And your family, Jhon?

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

I'm a daughter of this country...

FOR A NEW COLOMBIA

...of a family who works the land.

Because the problems of all Colombians

are my problems.

In my campaign...

we've worked hard

to reach every corner of Colombia.

Because the problems of Colombians...

are...

Because the problems of Colombians...

are my problems.

Because the problems of my country...

are...

I’m a daughter of this country...

...are my problems.

...of a family that worked the land.

Mine...

and my Vice President Ernesto's.

Hurray!

Hurray!

I'm just trying something. It's not done yet.

I better not ask, right?

Remember we're checking out the car today.

I left some brochures on the bed so you can choose the one you like.

And I got you some clothes.

I was thinking... Maybe...

We could take our first drive to the countryside to see your mom.

She posted in the chat. Did you see it?

I'm not good at that,

I keep getting a message to update a cloud.

And I don't know what to do.

Well, Mario's almost here.

Hmm.

Not "hmm," Jhon.

This house needs to be ready when he gets here.

What do you want him to think? That he's not included? No.

And we have to invite the neighbors.

They invited us to a BBQ.

That's like a meat thing, right?

Come, I'll treat your face.

Ernesto, you were really out of it. The only thing missing was you snoring.

What's next?

Lunch with the Chamber of Commerce.

Daniela, that meeting has to go perfectly.

-Very well. -You think I don't know that, Pedro?

Yes, but...

the money from the National Registry...

is all gone.

What do you mean it's all gone?

It's gone. And without the support of the businessmen,

the bank won't give us any credit.

-And the campaign is far from over. -My God!

Daniela.

Sweetie!

-How did I do? -You did great, Mommy!

Honey.

Were you leaving without saying goodbye?

No, I wasn't.

I thought I'd see you guys outside, I guess.

-Stef... -Cami, let's go.

I think we're set.

You got your picture.

We're leaving.

And judging by attendance, I think it's over.

Yeah, maybe.

Are you happy about that?

No.

It's all the same to me.

But I'm fed up.

Fed up with this farce of a campaign.

With being your circus monkey. No, I've had it.

Do you have something to say, Ramon?

Yes, Daniela, I'm sorry, but I'm not doing...

these events anymore.

Are you seeing someone?

If there's someone living in my house,

-I need to know. -No, that's not it.

OK.

I understand.

And don't worry, maybe...

The Daniela Leon Show will be over soon.

-Let's go. We're late. -Yes, I'm coming.

Goodbye, sweetie.

-I'll call you tonight, OK? -OK.

OK.

I know you can't tell me anything and it's a big secret,

but we need to have better communication, Jhon.

I'm OK with everything,

but it feels like you don't even live here.

And silence is what separates people, not distance.

I know it's all too much.

Like... I don't know, us living together.

Your gringo son is coming from the US.

But you have to be there.

On top of it.

I'll be there. I promise.

On top of it.

You're not alone in this.

We're building this together.

Let's go check out our ride, OK?

Let's go.

I'M AN UNDOCUMENTED VENEZUELAN WAITING FOR A PASSPORT TO PERU AND I NEED MONEY

What do the polls say, Stef?

We're at 11%. Fourth place at best.

What do they say about Ernesto?

@DANIELALEONCANDIDATE HAS A DINOSAUR ON HER TEAM. #ERNESTOTHEFOSSIL

OSORIO IS A BAD PICK FOR @DANIELALEONCANDIDATE

@DANIELALEONCANDIDATE YOUR VP IS A ZOMBIE!

He is seen as weak by older audiences,

and old-fashioned by younger ones.

So now I need gray hair, Pedro?

It says here I'm the best-rated candidate,

but voters don't understand my message.

Men with high incomes don't know or don't want to know I exist.

And rural women love me,

but their husbands don't let them vote.

It can't get much harder than this.

Daniela, you don't understand your voters.

And I don't mean people on the streets

with banners and megaphones. No.

I mean people like the ones here at this table.

Gentlemen...

I know some of my views on social matters

aren't very popular among you guys, but if you'll give me a chance to...

tell you the long-term benefits and the progress they'll bring.

With all due respect, ma'am.

Those long-term benefits,

for some of us, are too far away.

I know, Miguel, but...

think about your grandkids.

For example,

education is one of the priorities in this...

Those two brats are just waiting for me to die

so they can throw away the family fortune, pardon my French,

on bitches and booze.

Gentlemen, please.

As a candidate I'm thinking about the country's economic growth.

No one wants this country to prosper more than I do.

Daniela.

I think I'm the only one at this table, with all due respect,

who has read your plan.

And we agree on many things.

On education, environmental issues.

But the first round of elections is in two weeks.

The next debate is in three days,

and you're in fourth place, way down in the polls.

-I know. I know that. -Daniela.

You have my vote.

You can count on it.

But if they're going to risk their money, these gentlemen want to know

how you plan to get to the second round of elections.

Listen, gentlemen.

I think Omar is right.

But let's listen to the candidate.

Ernesto, man,

your candidate screwed half the city with the Bogota 2030 plan.

And now that she's broke,

she comes here with her tail between her legs.

Hold on, gentlemen!

If I'm getting crucified for fighting corruption,

fine.

And all of you,

instead of thinking about your ranches and your mansions on the beach,

you should think just a little bit

about the people who work so hard to make you rich.

One of my virtues

is knowing when a game is over.

Even if it's still being played.

Caldera's virtues.

Do they come in leather-bound volumes?

The experiment went badly.

What experiment?

Do you think this is an experiment to me?

I left my career and my marriage for your experiment!

Daniela, you're not a lawyer working for justice anymore.

You're in politics now.

And those two things are very different.

Yes, I know. But... get me in a room with these people again,

and I'll convince them.

I need the support of these businessmen,

otherwise the banks won't give me the loan I need to finish my campaign.

I won't get enough votes and I'll be done by the first round!

We both know there won't be a second round.

After the debate...

the game's over.

Hello, sir. How are you today?

You like it?

You look like a man of action.

So, miss, what do you think?

What do you think?

This model has smart airbags.

And it also

has lane change and movement sensors.

All the cutting-edge technology. It's fantastic!

What is the purpose of all that in Bogotá?

I mean, the traffic is terrible.

Yeah, all we want is a car that works.

Right? A reliable car.

One that won't breakdown on me.

A car that fits...

let's say...

five people?

Five?

Right. Five.

The trunk looks small. How big is it?

Sir, there's more than 21 cubic feet in the trunk.

I think you'll be fine. It won't feel small at all.

I'm sorry, sir. Can you give us a moment?

Yes, of course. Excuse me.

The cup holder,

the trunk,

the electric seats.

If one of those seats breaks, who's going to fix it?

And for you it's this high, and for me it's this high.

So when you drive, how will I fit?

Hey, let's go get some ice cream instead.

There's no rush. Right?

Look, Jhon. Your friend from work.

Are you leaving again?

New car?

Apache's money has gone a long way.

After the house you bought.

What did you tell your girlfriend?

That the government gave it to me.

Because of the peace thing.

Love is blind.

But in a way, you do work for the government.

Your deposit just went through.

And you came all this way just to tell me that?

It's important.

Believe me, I wouldn't bother you if I had other options.

Vergara,

I'll call if I need you.

OK?

Thank you.

Sorry.

The guard knows me.

I know you're right.

I know.

But did you have to speak to me like that?

-Today? -Daniela, those...

rich old farts weren't going to give you a dime.

And I didn't want to watch them tear you apart.

You've fought hard and you've done well.

Your program is modern.

It's progressive.

Your environmental policies are visionary.

You can't throw in the towel now.

Dani, if the debate goes well, you'll be right back in the race.

And if it goes badly?

When did you start seeing the glass half-empty?

It's not so easy, Omar.

The bank owns my whole life.

If I don't get enough votes in the first round,

I'll lose absolutely everything.

Even the house is in my name.

Ramon and Camila will be out on the street.

There's a dark side to politics, Dani.

I know.

The best person for the job rarely wins.

But you...

you don't know how to give up.

No.

Not now.

I know you have to keep up appearances right now. Your husband,

-the campaign, but... -Omar!

Please, not today.

OK.

CALDERA: IT'S TIME

Jhon.

On top of it.

It's a missile deal in Venezuela.

Years ago,

the regime bought over 600 SAM-7 missiles.

Many ended up in the hands of guerrillas, terrorists

and government-backed militias.

Now that the country is bankrupt because of the dictatorship,

the government needs financing

and have recalled all of the missiles to sell them to the highest bidder.

But one of the regime's militias won't give them back

and wants to sell them themselves.

They have 20 missiles.

And we think they have a buyer.

Román Echegui...

a well-known arms dealer,

a warlord.

Echegui has a long history of arms deals in Colombia.

Just one of those missiles...

could bring down a skyscraper...

or blow up an airplane.

Under no circumstances can we allow that deal to occur.

The key is to destroy the sights.

Without them, the missiles are useless.

We need you to find him.

And to take his place.

We don't have any units in Venezuela.

If they get you,

you're on your own, JJ.

Hey, wait. Wait, man. Wait.

Look, I don't know who you are or who the fuck you work for,

but you're getting into something too big for you.

"Who the fuck you work for,

but you're getting into something too big for you."

"You're getting into something too big for you."

Great accent. I can't clap, otherwise I would.

"Great accent." "Great accent."

"I can't clap, otherwise I would."

"Great accent. Great accent."

As soon as you open your mouth, they'll notice, kiddo.

"Kiddo."

"Kiddo. As soon as you open your mouth, they'll notice, kiddo."

Look, man, you're in Venezuela. This is worse than North Korea.

There's no police or Interpol or any of those fuckin' pricks.

"Venezuela. Kiddo. There's no police or Interpol or any of those fuckin' pricks."

"They'll notice, kiddo."

"They'll notice, kiddo."

"You're in Venezuela."

"There's no police or Interpol or any of those fuckin' pricks."

"You're in Venezuela, kiddo."

"They'll notice, kiddo."

"They'll notice, kiddo."

"You're in Venezuela. There's no..."

No.

We need to convince him to lend us the money.

What?

What do you mean?

When are they going to release the hold?

There is nothing we can do?

Well, talk to him.

I don't know. Look for him at home,

in the club, wherever. But look for him, please.

No, right now! I can't wait 'til tomorrow. It has to be now.

I'll call you back.

Daniela.

I'm sorry. I did everything I could.

The bank won't give us the loan.

The businessmen won't back us either.

They don't think we'll make the cut.

Next week, the radio ads are gone.

We can't pay the remaining staff.

Daniela, we had a good run.

A very good run. And I know you have good intentions.

Where are you going?

-They're leaving? -They're asking for what was promised.

Ladies!

So we bought chairs, but you work on the floor?

I've been watching the last 20 debates,

looking at the type of questions which may come up,

and I've classified them by probability.

The Ramon thing is fucked up.

It must suck to have to keep up appearances like that.

It's the 21st century and people still think

there's something wrong with a woman who's single.

Right.

You know how important you are to me, don't you?

No, Daniela.

My generation isn't good at emotional goodbyes.

Anyway...

it isn't time to say goodbye.

It's time to fight.

Right.

The questions.

Thanks.

Someone's here to see you.

Who?

I don't know.

-I'm Carmen Caicedo. -I told you to wait outside.

Yes, I've heard about you.

Good things, I hope.

Well, I wouldn't know.

Please, sit down.

It's late and I know you're having a bad day.

I'm here to offer my services.

The thing is, we already have a campaign manager.

Pedro Bonet?

The guy about to commit suicide in his office?

Yes, that's him.

Daniela.

You have so much potential and want to serve the country.

You're intelligent, tough.

And let's be honest, you're very attractive.

But the best thing you have going for you

is that you have a place in voters' hearts.

A survivor of two attempts on your life and a punisher of corruption.

Look, in Latin America, the average voter goes to church every Sunday.

And you're the closest thing we have to the Virgin Mary in Colombia.

Tell me something I don't know.

I'm going to tell you something you don't want to know.

Your team is shit, Daniela.

Your VP brings experience to the table, but lacks charisma.

You don't have a winning slogan.

And you can't focus your energy where it's needed.

Being president is not the same as being attorney general, Daniela.

Fewer attacks. More smiles. Make people like you.

You have a pit bull inside you, but be smart.

Let it out against your opponents.

Not against the cameras or businessmen, who need to be on your side.

It's a little late for that.

The debate is in three days.

And the first round... is when? Two weeks.

According to the polls, you're in fourth.

All you need to do is come in third at the debate and you're back in it.

The debate is very complicated. Anything can happen.

Focus on Farah.

Farah is a good debater.

We don't know what the questions will be.

What you're asking for isn't easy.

No one said it was.

What's that?

Daniela, you know my experience.

I play to win.

And with all due respect, I'm the professional in this field.

You're the amateur.

And one more thing.

A small gift.

Sometimes you need to shake things up to get results.

The right will attack you for being soft.

The left will attack you for lacking empathy.

Smile.

And bite.

Come on... Carmen.

NO MORE IMPUNITY

Why me?

Who sent you?

CANADA DRILLING GET OUT!

THE MOUNTAIN IS OUR LIFE. NO TO THE MINES! AGUA BLANCA RESISTS! EVERYONE MARCH!

No one.

You're good for this country.

I told you, I play to win.

And you can win.

What a surprise!

IS DANIELA WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS?

You just need me...

to be the first female president of the Republic of Colombia.

NUMBERS FOR THE FIRST ROUND

What's wrong, Daniela?

I know you as if you were my own daughter.

And this story about visiting your aunt in the countryside

sounds very nice...

But I don't believe it.

Something is wrong.

Something important.

I'm seriously thinking about dropping out of the race.

I want to do many things for Colombia.

I want to change things.

But I can't win.

Daniela, Camila and I are the only ones left.

When you get to be my age,

you start thinking,

you understand

that the most important thing

is what you leave behind.

Do you know what I leave behind?

You.

Why are you crying?

You're my legacy, Daniela.

And Camilita will be yours.

I didn't raise you to stay in this town.

I raised you to get out of here.

So you could change things.

So you wouldn't follow in your brother’s footsteps.

-I know. -So, do me a favor.

Stop fucking around,

have some breakfast, get in that car,

go back to the city,

and don't come back until you're the president of Colombia.

And you have to come back to fix this mining bullshit.

They're killing us.

They're poisoning us.

"This is Venezuela, kiddo."

"There's no police or Interpol or any of those fuckin' pricks."

"This is Venezuela, kiddo."

Are you Román?

Let's get down to business.

Are you Román?

Look, I don't know what kind of pricks you are,

or who the fuck you work for,

but I don't have time to waste.

So call whoever you have to call.

I give you the dough, you give me the missiles, and I bail.

What?

-Be careful. -Hey!

Right now, the situation is a bit tense.

So let's tone it down.

Understood?

I didn't see a line of people outside waiting to buy these things.

Let's make a deal, kiddo.

Drop 'em.

Drop 'em!

Roque, the sights.

My story is the same as many Colombians

who fight every day in a country...

Candidates, what is the level of rural illiteracy

in Colombia?

And how do you plan on fighting it?

Candidate Leon.

Rural illiteracy

reaches 15.4% in rural areas

and exceeds 30% in indigenous communities.

My plan is to lower the rate to 7%

through a salary increase

for teachers who choose to teach in rural areas.

We've also thought about an incentive to purchase textbooks

for families with one or more illiterate members.

...families can send their children to school.

You look prettier in person.

The political landscape in Venezuela is complex.

They've had a transformation

in both democracy and socialism.

I imagine that candidate Leon dances to the beat of the senseless right wing.

You should be denouncing this Venezuelan dictator

for crimes against humanity.

Thirty years ago, Venezuela took in eight million immigrants.

Most of them were Colombians fleeing from the guerrillas

and looking for a better life.

Now it's our turn to return the favor for 2.34 million people

the country is returning to us,

now that the dictator is getting stronger in Venezuela.

And that, Mr. Cardona,

isn't wasting public resources.

And it isn't supporting the regime either.

It's supporting our brothers and sisters and being good Christians.

And that, Mr. Navas,

isn't supporting, as you do,

this man who has all of his fellow citizens on their knees and starving.

Ms. Farah, how much is a cup of coffee?

Focus on Farah.

No, Farah is the other woman and...

that would be betrayal. No, no.

Daniela, we’ve been betraying each other

since the days of cavemen.

Rip her apart.

The day after tomorrow, you'll be at 19%.

And all of those businessmen will be in your pocket.

SECRET QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES

I want to change things,

but I can't win.

Well...

not without cheating.

It costs 4,000 or 5,000 pesos.

No. A cup of coffee is 4,000 or 5,000 pesos

at an international franchise

that you, Ms. Farah, and very few Colombians can afford.

But a cup of coffee in a local store costs 800 pesos.

I want to ask you,

what is your experience in public administration?

How many corrupt people have you prosecuted?

I'm sorry, but it's not up to me...

You haven't prosecuted one person.

They told me there were 20, but I only see 14.

Where are the other six?

They were already sold.

I brought money for 20 missiles.

And I’m leaving with 20 missiles.

I have people expecting them.

Look, kiddo,

you're starting to piss me off.

Where are the other six?

I don't know, man. I don't know.

Are you expecting someone?

Let's go!

Run, asshole! Run!

On the ground!

Who are those motherfuckers?

The National Guard.

The regime's private cops.

Where are the other six missiles?

Look, asshole, I swear I don't know.

Look, either you tell me or I'll kick you out of the car.

-I don't know, man. -Come on, fucker! Tell me!

I don't know, man! I don't know.

Shit!

Look, either you tell me

or I'm leaving you here for the dogs.

My boss sold them.

Who's your boss?

They call him Cannibal.

Where's this Cannibal?

-He's in the Pit. -What do you mean? Is he dead?

No, he's in jail. In prison.

That's a prison

where they take high-profile criminals, rebels,

spies of the regime, all that shit, man.

Son of a bitch.

Get lost, prick.

Get lost!

Hands up!

Identify yourself!

I'm a Colombian spy.
