DANIELA LEON RISES LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES.

WOMEN FINALLY FEEL REPRESENTED.

THE RACE FOR PRESIDENCY HAS A NEW CANDIDATE, COUNT ON IT.

Things took a major turn yesterday among the candidates.

Daniela Leon's performance has put her with the frontrunners,

surpassing Alexandra Farah, and going from 11 points to 19 points.

STEFANY: HAVE YOU SEEN THE POLLS?

What Leon has been unable to do for months,

she did in just one night.

With two weeks left 'til the first round,

candidate Daniela Leon is the one to watch...

STEFANY: FUCK YEAH! YOU'RE LIKE WIKIPEDIA!

Amazing video.

A public service vehicle was swallowed by a sinkhole on Llano Street...

CARMEN: SO, YOU WANT TO PLAY TO WIN?

CARMEN: WILL I SEE YOU AT THE OFFICE?

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

CENTRAL PENITENTIARY "THE PIT" - CARACAS

I'm going to ask you for the last time.

Who the fuck sent you here, cocksucker?

I told you, sir, I'm just looking for my family.

Stop fucking around. You were going to find them in a militiaman's car?

What militia, sir?

You're going to keep this bullshit up?

Why did you say you were a spy?

Because I know you don't kill spies.

I guess this faggot likes baseball.

I'm going to tell you a story, you Colombian scum.

Before the commander took power, I played baseball.

Third base, fourth in the lineup.

I was the shit.

I had more home runs than those gringos in the major leagues.

They called me "The Hunger." Do you know why?

Because I hit hard.

I had a swing.

It was the shit.

That's OK.

Strike one.

What the fuck were you doing with the militia?

OK! OK! I'll talk.

I came...

here looking for gasoline.

I work for a smuggler. He's called "El Dandy."

We've done like two trips in three months.

But we wanted more.

See? The Colombian scum can sing!

I told you this thing works, man.

Please!

If El Dandy finds out, he'll kill me.

He'll kill me! Please!

They won't kill you, asshole.

You'll be gone for a long fucking time.

We're going to send you upstairs for lying.

Do you really need a bag for each dress?

It keeps them clean.

Do you know how long it takes for a plastic bag to disintegrate?

Yes, 150 years. You've told me thousands of times,

but can't we discuss this some other time?

Today's a big day for me.

A hundred and fifty years is all we have left,

if we keep thinking it's not important.

You're absolutely right. Sorry.

No, don't worry.

I know what you wanted to talk about.

The business associations called, right?

You obviously knew already.

Yes.

And the loan is good, right?

We can stay in the game a bit longer.

The debate went well, right?

You destroyed them.

You said what you had to say, when you had to,

without mincing words.

Their jaws all dropped.

Congratulations, Madame President.

Let's celebrate!

Dani.

Hello? Are you there?

-Yes, I'm here. -Let's have lunch, OK?

I don't know. I have a busy day today.

Can I call you back later, so we can set something up?

-I'm already late. OK? -OK, no problem.

-Kisses. -Kiss.

The government spent 600 billion pesos on advertising.

We have to attack that point.

-What's going on? -We're going over some numbers.

Yes. And all these people?

Don't worry. They'll finish up today.

Finish what?

I told them your office has to be ready

so you can get to work.

Stef, can you give me five minutes, please, with Carmen?

Sure. I'll go watch these guys cram furniture where it doesn't fit.

Do you mind me reorganizing your office?

-Who's paying for all this? -Everybody knows about the loan.

Don't worry. It was very cheap.

Yes, but very cheap means we still have to pay for it.

Carmen, I don't need you to buy expensive furniture...

It's not expensive.

I don't need them to paint either.

Did you see the stains on the walls?

Yes, I saw it. But let me be clear,

I want every centavo to go towards the campaign. Do you understand?

Daniela, this is the campaign.

I don't know if you've noticed, but if you want to sell success,

you need to look the part.

I'm here to help you. Trust me.

I do trust you.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be here.

Really?

Yes, really. Why?

Have a seat.

There's an issue I want to discuss.

Secrets.

We all have them.

Couples have them, presidents have them,

but there can't be any between us.

Well, my record is clean as a whistle.

Yes, but being clean as attorney general isn't the same

as when you're running for president.

Transparency in politics applies to all areas of our lives, Daniela.

We all have a past, or a present that we don't talk about.

Secrets aren't the problem.

The problem is not being prepared when they're found out.

Because sooner or later, they will be.

So, I'll ask this only once.

Is there anything I need to know right now?

No.

OK, yes.

Ramón and I haven't been living together for a while.

Since when?

I don't know. A couple of months.

The relationship was rocky. The campaign didn't help.

Do you know how many female presidents the world has seen?

Do you know how many of them have won separated from their husband?

This is a conservative country.

We would vote for a murderer over a single woman.

Photo shoot. Today.

We'll fly in a photographer from Miami.

We need to see a happy family.

A dad, a mom and a daughter who represent Colombian values.

Anything else I need to know about you? About your time as attorney general?

No.

OK.

As for the envelope with the questions...

What envelope?

Those chairs go there.

These here.

Thanks.

I'll be the first person to become president without skeletons in the closet.

I don't doubt that.

-Good. -OK.

I'll get you another dress. You can't wear that to the photo shoot.

What's up, bro? Everything good?

Let me introduce myself. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm Willington, but they call me "Cat Eater."

Let me tell you,

it's rough in here. Not easy. OK?

There's good guys and bad guys.

So, you have to have eyes in the back of your head,

or those guys from PLAN will chop you up. Do you know what PLAN is?

They're in charge here.

They decide who dies and who lives.

They know everything that goes on here.

See that guy?

Ah?

He's the boss.

Cannibal.

If you want to eat, because there's nothing to eat,

you need to be his friend.

If you want to sleep well and not worry,

you need to be his friend.

Since I'm his friend, then I can hook you up,

I'm the contact, OK?

I'll help you, and you help me,

but right now, I need money.

Not Bolívars. You can't even wipe your ass with them.

Greenbacks, you get me? Dollars.

Are we clear?

There's corruption everywhere,

but you only talk about ours.

Thank you for having me on the show.

Goodbye, Marcelo.

What?

Did you come to see how your experiment is failing?

I see a lot of changes.

I was a bit negative last time.

A bit?

Daniela, I know you've sacrificed a lot for this campaign

and I never abandon ship mid-journey.

That's strange, Caldera.

Last I checked, it seemed you had abandoned it a long time ago.

I just met with Ernesto.

We're planning a strategy to get close to the Sotomayor family.

I don't want to be associated with any TV network.

-It's not just any network, Daniela. -I don't care.

It could be CNN, FOX, any of them.

I'm not interested, Caldera. I want to be completely independent.

Stefany is setting up a social media strategy

so we can reach a more active audience. Let's wait and see.

Do you remember the Green Wave?

Social media doesn't predict anything.

Voters are old-school here.

These Facebook likes won't get you more voters.

WhatsApp message chains won't get you to the presidency.

Caldera.

Drop the act.

I'm working with Carmen Caicedo.

Obviously, that's why you're here.

Do you know where Carmen comes from?

Do you know who she works for?

Of course.

She works for me.

Obviously, she has her own reasons, just like you.

We agree on that.

The question is whether she shares your reasons.

Yes.

Winning.

Unlike you, who thought I was dead just a few days ago.

Don't be impulsive, Daniela.

Carmen is very good at what she does,

-but she doesn't know everything... -Caldera.

I think we're done.

Every relationship comes to an end.

Like yours and Ramón's?

Exactly.

And don't threaten me.

We have too many shared secrets.

You were in that hospital room after the attack too.

Don't forget.

Thank you very much.

Honestly...

Thank you. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.

Door.

Get in there, prick.

Go in.

Go in, motherfucker.

Colombian spy or gas thief?

Hi.

Hi.

Thank you for coming.

What am I doing here?

Look, I know it's awkward for you.

But I have an important photo shoot and I need you to come with me.

Look, Daniela.

I'll be honest, I never thought you'd get this far.

Really, congratulations, but I told you, I'm done with this.

We're close to election day and any mistake I make,

I'll lose this opportunity.

-So, I'm that mistake? What do you mean? -Hey!

If it weren't important, I wouldn't be asking.

I have a real shot at the presidency right now.

I need you to stay until the end of the campaign.

I got a job in Mexico.

-With a multinational company. I'm... -What?

-Yes, I'm leaving. -When?

Soon.

Anyway, I won't be here for your campaign.

Yes, but why didn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now.

It's a great opportunity. I can't say no.

-Yes, but this change... -But right now I need...

OK, OK.

Look.

Can you please come to the photo shoot today

-and we'll talk about this later? -Talk about what?

There's nothing to talk about. It's my life.

I know it's your life.

Can you come to the photo shoot?

OK.

Thanks.

And congratulations.

Thanks.

What you're doing is incredible.

Thanks. Hey.

I need you to bring Camila to the shoot.

It's very important that the three of us are there.

I've seen you before.

On TV, right?

My name is Carpado.

I'm the opposition leader.

At least, that's what they say.

What's your name?

Jhon Jeiver.

They didn't send you here for me, did they?

We're alone in here, you get it?

People don't care what you do in here.

There's always a way out.

You saw how it is out there, didn't you?

Much worse.

But change is coming.

Soon.

So, what are you doing here?

I'm looking for some information.

Cannibal.

So Colombia mingles with mercenaries now?

That information can save a lot of lives.

Lives over there. Not here.

Lives are lives.

How many lives have you taken?

'Cause you don't look like a savior.

How about this, Jhon?

I'll help you,

but you'll have to help me afterwards.

They're expecting some insulin

for Cannibal, who's diabetic.

How many doses does he have left?

Zero.

If you rattle the cage,

they'll start fighting amongst themselves.

I'm not here by accident, am I?

Guard.

Ramiro.

Door.

What the fuck is this?

Do I look like a bitch?

-That's what they sent. -Shut up!

If we want to change this campaign's direction,

we'll have to start from scratch.

"For a new Colombia."

It doesn't say anything, Daniela.

And "a new" sounds like abrupt change. That will scare businessmen.

It excludes older people and confuses young voters.

But that's what people expect.

A new Colombia.

I prefer to think differently.

What is it that Colombians don't want? What do people reject?

What are they dissatisfied with? What do they feel?

Anger. And lots of it.

Good. What causes it?

Poverty, inequality, a selective and useless justice system.

That's it.

That's what Colombians experience every day.

In a nutshell, corruption.

But it's not only what they don't want.

What moves grandmas? Aunts? Young people?

Parents? You?

What keeps us up at night?

War.

Turning into Venezuela.

Fear. Fear is what leads people to the voting booth.

No.

Those are the dirty, old tricks of traditional politics that I hate.

Humor me for a while, Daniela.

Colombians are looking for someone to guide them.

And to protect them from the threats to their way of life.

Someone who takes away their fear, who gives them stability.

Clarity for the future.

SECURITY

They are tired of traditional politicians

who have let them down for years.

Our strength is that Daniela isn't a politician.

She is a citizen.

A self-made woman.

From a working-class family.

She's a leader

who will put voters at ease.

She will give them renewed hope for the future.

Hope for tomorrow.

The people want Daniela Leon.

Tomorrow's leader.

OK. But, which tomorrow?

It doesn't matter.

She'll protect them from any tomorrow they can imagine.

To get to the second round, we'll need at least...

five million votes.

I don't think just changing the slogan will accomplish anything.

Remember, the country is divided between the left and the right.

You're right.

But close to 46% of eligible voters didn't participate in the last election.

Millions of Colombians who don't feel represented.

Those are the people we need.

We just have to make sure that our voters understand

that without Daniela, tomorrow can be terrible.

Fear.

That thief was attacked...

Some asshole stole something!

There are rules in here,

and rules have to be followed.

So whoever stole the insulin...

better give it back quickly.

I want you to know that if we find it...

on you...

you're gonna pay big time.

So whoever brings the insulin and the thief,

dead or alive...

will be guaranteed two months of food.

Move it!

Hey, new guy!

Come with me.

In 2005, Navas' brother was a partner

in a low-cost powdered milk company.

And their products were included in the food kits

the Venezuelan regime gives to their supporters.

So that's where all this was going!

I'll have the papers proving this in about an hour.

And we can link Navas to the regime.

Venezuela. Milk.

Children.

Navas. Fear.

Pure gold.

If we get that on the 6 p.m. radio news today, in the middle of rush hour,

it'll be a bomb.

Is that information trustworthy?

You don't piss people off to get things done here,

especially with gossip.

That's not how it works in this country.

Really, Ernesto? Since when?

We're talking about his brother, not Navas.

And selling powdered milk isn't a crime.

People won't buy it.

Maybe your people won't buy it, Stefany,

but for many voters, knowing a candidate's brother

did business with the Venezuelan regime is a good reason not to vote for him.

Those fears are just as real as yours.

I don't know if I want to win by attacking other candidates

and providing information that doesn't prove anything.

It's not my style.

We have to focus on the environmental problems that these mines are creating.

Yes, and focus on avoiding the centralization

of mining contracts by the government.

It's a shame for those regions and their families,

but votes are not rural. Votes are in the cities.

Let's talk about the transportation mafia.

No, it's better not to mess with them.

Daniela, in politics it isn't about who's best, but who fails the least.

Do you want to work for Colombia?

First, you have to be president.

My head is spinning.

But what makes my head spin even more...

is how some turd who just got here...

is stirring up so much shit.

I was talking to my people, they told me you asked for us

when you arrived.

And what happens next?

The fucking insulin gets lost.

Now tell me.

Where is it?

Two days ago, six missiles were sold in Caracas.

I'm looking for them.

What missiles are you talking about, asshole?

Did you get hit in the head down there?

How long ago was your last insulin shot?

Two or three days?

How long do you think you have left?

OK. OK.

Tell me...

where the insulin is and...

I'll get you some information.

You know that's not how it works.

Do you know who you're talking to, asshole?

Where's the insulin, motherfucker?

Do you want me to blow your head off, liar?

Where would you hide...

the insulin if you're coming from Colombia...

looking for some fucking missiles?

Where would you hide it...

so the enemy won't get it?

I would rather swallow it...

than shove it up my ass.

Let's open up this piggy.

What is it? What's going on?

Asshole!

The missiles! Where are they?

My commitment to the country is to defend the morals and ethics

of Colombian families.

Because I'm fortunate to spend my days

with my wife and my children.

A family of God. Times aren't easy.

But with the Armed Forces

we'll fight for our homes,

for our borders

and for our sovereignty.

The heart of my life...

is my family.

Colombia and all of you...

are what inspire me every day.

Wow.

The Navas thing is out

and the press wants a statement. What should we do?

I'd rather not talk about that.

We started it. We should comment.

-Let the others talk. Not me. -OK.

Where are they?

Do you know why I'm here?

And why they call me Cannibal?

They say I killed a cop, chopped him up and served him to the people in the slums.

Hunger is fucked up.

OK, asshole.

Two days ago, six missiles were sold in Caracas.

Where the fuck are they?

They went to Colombia.

Why Colombia?

I don't know. I'm just a salesman.

Look, motherfucker,

if you want this insulin, tell me what's going on.

Where are they? Who has them?

The missiles are too big.

They go by boat.

And the sights? Who's got them?

Who's got the sights?

The sights go by land.

Some poor soul who got fed up with this fucking country.

They sent them through El Páramo de Berlin.

Great, It looks beautiful. I love it.

That dress is much better.

This guy is a genius. You'll see.

He better be, at that rate!

We lucked out. He's booked for the next three months.

-And Ramón? -Yes. He's coming.

OK. Good.

Marcelo from CNN tells me you won't take his calls.

Well, I don't have anything to say.

Navas has to explain his family's ties to the regime.

Daniela, he's down and out. This is our chance.

Cardona is making noise.

We need to be seen as zero tolerance.

Tomorrow something else will be news.

We need to act quickly.

Look at it like this.

What you say is important to people.

So they can form an opinion.

-OK. -Plus, if you don't talk now,

don't complain when they take away the mics.

OK.

All set.

I'll tell Marcelo to get you on the air.

What can I say?

This reflects poorly on him.

It doesn't look good.

Ramon and Camila?

Yes, I think that basically,

Navas has to explain his family's connection to the regime.

And if he knew this was going on, what didn't he make it public?

Carpado.

These savages are tearing up the prison.

Let's go. I can get you out.

Me?

The problem isn't getting out, Jhon Jeiver.

I can't go out the back door. Are you crazy?

They...

gave me the key to get out quietly.

Because they wanted me to become a rat.

They wanted to take my voice away.

But I wake people up if I'm in here.

Get it?

The country needs a hero.

Not a fugitive.

What's your prison, Jhon Jeiver?

You've reached the voicemail of Ramon Brizales.

I'm not available to take your call right now.

Please, leave a message.

We always have...

some guards in our head telling us what to do.

And people love to think they're free.

Are you free?

Huh, Jhon?

Look.

What is a leader without a voice?

Someone on the outside will be expecting this.

When you go to the yard area...

north wall...

there's a yellow door.

A guard will be there to open the door for you,

but not for long.

If you're not there in five minutes,

I can't guarantee you'll get out of this shit show you started.

Split.

The perimeter is clear. You can move forward.

Understood. Eagles on the ground.

Eagles, shoot to kill.

We don't see any living rats. We're going inside the building.

Mop up the floor, mate.

Get lost or I'll put you back inside.

Miguel said you'd have something for me.

-Here. I brought you some clothes. -Thanks.

Are you OK?

Well, I've had better days.

You better go. It isn't safe here.

Thanks.

Hello, Daniela.

Hey, where are you? All these people are waiting!

I'm not coming. Something came up.

What?

I'm sorry.

I'm not your puppet anymore.

Your husband is a problem, Daniela.
