VENEZUELA - COLOMBIA BORDER

"'You've lost a country amongst yourselves,'

said Yolanda Pantin.

But which country exactly?

The one you're leaving behind or the one you've already forgotten?

My message to you is to not forget.

We need unity now more than ever,

because it's the only way to move forward.

Today, I take this opportunity to share some hopeful news with you.

Change is coming, the moment we've been waiting for has arrived.

We have to be prepared.

To keep our eyes open, because once it starts,

no one can stop it.

My people, this is just the beginning.

Best regards, from my cell, Miguel Carpado."

Hey!

Hey, listen up!

Those who haven't paid, line up over there.

What now? What's up?

It's that idiot Jason,

who they called "Cheese Face."

Ah.

He was in a gas smuggling truck.

They were stealing 1,320 gallons of gas.

They got a flat tire,

went off the road, crashed and blew the fuck up.

They say they found a shoe 600 feet from the scene.

They got burned to shit.

What's this fucker doing here?

Stop!

Hands up!

How did you find me?

Who's this guy?

He's a guerrilla who betrayed us and now works for the police.

Whenever he shows up, something bad happens.

What the fuck are you doing here?

Don't worry, I'm not here for you.

I'm looking for some missile sights that must have come through here.

What sights, asshole?

Stop talking so much shit!

Wait.

Wait. Do you know what will happen if the Vulture finds out?

Find out what?

Hmm?

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

All the girls here are voting for you!

And whoever isn't, we'll convince them.

OK!

Can you wait a second? I'm just finishing up.

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

Sandra, can I have a minute?

Of course, as long as you need.

And does your boss know you're here?

I don't have a boss.

No? What about Cardona? A colleague?

He's part of the organization.

So he didn't send you here.

"The Leader of Tomorrow."

-Did you come to help with the slogan? -Why so hostile?

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

Tasteful.

Too bad it didn't help you in the polls.

-I have ten minutes, Merida. -Daniela, stop wasting your time.

Excuse me?

We both know you won't win the presidency.

How's your husband?

Do you still call him your husband?

Huh?

Did you come to intimidate me?

I didn't come to intimidate you.

I'm here as a friend.

Friends work together.

Perfect, then get to the point.

If you really want to serve Colombia,

being president isn't the way.

And what is? I'm all ears.

A federal agency, for example.

The Federal Office of the Attorney General?

Deal! That's a good way to serve the country.

OK.

You're giving away agency jobs.

Are you really that frightened?

It's not fear, Daniela. It's confidence.

We have no doubt that we're going to win,

and that you'll lose in the elections.

In chess, only one king wins,

but the other pieces get the trophies.

It's better to be a bishop than a king. Am I clear?

I won't deny that

the numbers will look better with you on our side.

Sleep on it.

Merida!

Tell your boss

that this bishop still has a lot of fight left in her.

When the commanders find out you let them through,

you'll all be fucked.

Has anything strange come across the border in the last three days?

Nothing, sir. Same old.

Ladies with crying babies.

Families, farmers.

The usual.

Well, yesterday some ladies crossed carrying white coolers.

The kind for carrying ice.

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

But the sights would. You know they need to be kept cold.

Oh, for fuck's sake...

How many?

How many coolers, dipshit?

Five or six.

-Five? Five? Six? -I don't know.

Get up, asshole.

You go with this guy. With a gas smuggler.

You find me those bitches.

And you bring me those fucking sights.

With a gas smuggler?

Do you have a problem, you little shit?

DANIELA LEON PRESIDENT

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

5 DAYS LEFT!

Yes, but this isn't a crime.

She's 16.

What?

What's wrong with men, my God?

If we release this, Daniela, it'll be a bomb.

Is the girl OK?

Yes, her parents found out before they got to meet.

Are we sure it came from his personal account?

Looks like it.

Where did you get this?

Where everything like this is found.

From "better not to ask."

So?

I don't know! I don't want to get involved in sex scandals, Carmen.

You know that no one gets involved 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?

Look, Daniela, this is the final stretch.

We only have five days to win this,

and the polls show you in third place.

Unless we do something now, you won't get to the second round.

OK, but can't we do something else?

No, we've done all we could.

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

Because they don't want any trouble.

Even more reason not to do this!

Have you heard the phrase, "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs"?

That can't be our motto, Carmen.

If we win, we'll win by fighting.

I won't go public with this.

Hey! Did you check the tires before leaving?

What?

Did you check the tires before leaving?

RAMÓN, ARE YOU SEEING SOMEONE?

Come in!

I bet you haven't had lunch yet.

No, maybe later.

Daniela, please, it's 4 p.m.!

You need to stop and eat something.

My granddaughter...

downloaded a new app for me to get food delivered.

-Really? -It's called Rappi.

How's your back?

The same.

As you age, you realize some pain never goes away

and you learn to live with it.

After the debate in Medellin...

Navas's people approached me.

Really?

What did they want? An alliance?

Yes, that's exactly what they told me.

That it was time for alliances.

And? What did they offer? An agency job?

-An ambassadorship. -Really? Oof.

Imagine! They owe so much to so many people,

they don't have any agency jobs left.

I bet.

Which embassy?

Spain.

-Spain? -Aha.

How did they react when you said no?

You said no, right?

Look, Daniela...

The thing is...

who am I to make those decisions for you?

That's the way things are done here. No need for drama.

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

says my aunt.

While we're at it, my aunt says, "Some more than others,

but we're all hiding something."

Look, Daniela,

Carmen's game is very dangerous.

Those messages between Cardona and that girl are a ticking time bomb.

Yes.

There aren't many rules in politics, but one is not to mess with family.

They're up ahead!

I told you those ladies took the trail.

What trail?

The one that leads to the Páramo de Berlín.

That's the one.

The Páramo de Berlín and it's fucking freezing.

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've already paid.

They can wait. Orders from the Vulture.

What are you going to do?

Besides, I'm not riding on that fucking truck anymore.

Hey, mister!

These are my wife and two daughters, have you seen them?

Have you seen them around, sir?

I don't get it. Is this a victory speech or a concession speech?

Is it that bad? Let's see.

It's not bad, but it lacks authority, Daniela.

Conviction.

We're busy. One minute.

"While candidate Daniela Leon was conducting a family photo shoot,

her husband was doing this."

...HER HUSBAND WAS DOING THIS. @DANIELALEONCAND...

What are reporters saying?

"Following the news, the images show Ramón Grisales,

Daniela Leon's husband,

sharing an intimate moment with another woman

in a small restaurant.

The images, which have gone viral, confirm the rumors

about Leon's separation from her husband."

Cardona tweeted about it too.

What does Cardona say?

"It's no surprise that Leon's marriage is a sham.

From the start, her career has been just that,

a loud woman who can't even govern in her own home."

Merida knew about this.

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

What did I miss?

Are we going to continue attacking other candidates? More powdered milk?

This isn't an attack.

It's a counterattack.

Do it.

I need to stop.

What do you mean? Don't you see they're way ahead of us? Let's go!

I don't give a shit.

I need to stop.

Any news on your family?

Nothing. I don't know.

They came this way.

How long ago?

Three days ago.

But they're slow.

They left San Cristobal and are heading towards Bucaramanga.

I'm hoping to find them tonight or tomorrow.

Have you eaten?

Don't worry, I'm fine.

That's not what I asked. I asked if you've eaten.

This is just to put something in your stomach.

It's not much, but... have a seat.

"CARDONA SHOULD LEAVE POLITICS" "HE SHOULD RESIGN AND ROT IN JAIL"

"PEOPLE LIKE CARDONA NEED TO BE CASTRATED!!!"

"CARDONA SHOULD LEAVE POLITICS TO HONEST PEOPLE"

"NO MORE POLITICIANS LIKE CARDONA"

"...PEOPLE LIKE CARDONA MAKE US LOSE FAITH IN OUR INSTITUTIONS"

"DANIELA WON'T REACH YOUNG VOTERS WITH #ERNESTOOSORIOVP"

An hour and a half more.

DANIELA LEON PRESIDENT THE LEADER OF TOMORROW

Long day?

You love to sit there, don't you?

I can think better.

Are you upset about the Cardona thing?

I don't know what game we're playing.

Winning.

First, we have to win

to build the country we want, Stef.

Would you live in a building with a crooked foundation?

Nothing we've done here is illegal.

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

Look...

when I was a little girl, I loved to swim.

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

A girl who trained with me became my best friend.

On race day, she let me win because I wasn't very good.

My dad was so happy.

He took me out of the classes...

and signed me up to train with a team for three hours a day,

every day, for five years.

I never won another race.

I never saw my friend again, but I just kept swimming.

That's when I realized I wasn't there because I liked to win.

I was there because I liked to swim.

The question is...

are you here...

because you like to win...

or because you like to swim?

Get some rest.

I still have a lot to do.

Already?

Yes. The voting booths open in eight hours.

O DAYS LEFT!

DANIELA LEON PRESIDENT THE LEADER OF TOMORROW

What's a Colombian doing, crossing like this?

It's a very long story.

Stories are always long.

So tell me yours.

Well...

My story is similar to many 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 about that.

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

One day she left.

She went to San Cristobal with our girls. My daughters.

Three days ago I went to see them, but they weren't there.

So a neighbor told me that...

they started walking to Colombia, along this route.

That's it.

I became a revolutionary for jack shit!

To change a country and...

and I ended up forcing my daughters to live in hell.

Do you have children?

Yes. One.

A wife?

Yes, kind of.

Some advice, Jhon.

There's no better place than with your family.

Eat. We have to keep going.

And this guy?

He's looking for his family.

Let's go.

The National Registrar just opened the polls

for the first presidential round,

in which the candidates Carlos Andres Navas,

Rafael Cardona, Alexandra Farah and Daniela Leon

shall battle for the presidency of the Republic of Colombia

for the next four years.

It was also announced that for these elections

96,657 voting precincts have been provided throughout the country.

According to the Registrar's Office,

more than 36 million Colombians are registered to vote,

in what will be the fairest elections held in recent years.

Have you seen any women carrying coolers?

Don't worry, we'll find them. Come on.

Put it on.

Or do you want to end up like them?

Hello?

Hi, I'm Daniela Leon, presidential candidate.

Let me tell you the five reasons

why you should vote for me this Sunday.

Colombia is a...

What is it?

A political ad with my voice.

You're waking people up at this hour?

Of course not.

It must be another campaign using my voice.

Obviously.

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

Shit!

Just one more rotten thing in this country.

When was the last time we saw a grand gesture from a politician?

Hmm?

By one who didn't get killed.

When have they ever looked beyond their four years and said,

"This isn't for me,

but this is the best thing for the people. I'll do what's right"?

Do you think...

I can be a good president?

Or am I just daydreaming?

I've been around politicians my whole life.

I've worked with them...

I've seen so much bullshit...

that I've abstained from voting my whole life.

And in a few hours, I'm getting up and voting for you.

I believe in Daniela Leon.

You're going to win.

Honestly. Without cheating.

That's more important than anything else today.

I'm going to make coffee.

Dani...

Today is an important day.

Enjoy it.

Who knows? In two months, you might be...

looking out the window of the presidential palace.

Ma'am, my wife and two daughters.

Have you seen them walking? Are you sure?

No.

Have you seen any coolers?

Have you seen them?

My wife and two daughters. Have you seen them?

No? They're my wife and two daughters.

-Have you seen them on this route? -No.

Help me, please!

Help!

Help!

Help, please. Help me, please.

Mariela! Mariela!

-Mariela! Mariela! -Dad!

Mariela!

-Where's your mom? -She's not doing well, Dad!

Where is she, sweetie?

Come on. Where is she?

Where are they? Where?

Where are they?

Where are they?

Where are they? Close by?

Jhon!

Jhon!

We have other business!

Ana!

Ana!

Ana!

Ana!

Ana!

I can't remember, Dad.

Ana!

Have you seen any women carrying coolers?

Have you seen any women carrying coolers?

Any women with coolers? Have you seen them? No? Are you sure?

Have you seen any women with white fucking coolers?

Yes.

-Where? -There.

-Where? -A while ago, further up.

-But where? Where? -On the highway.

How long ago?

-Like, 20 minutes. -Twenty.

2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS FIRST ROUND

We're in second place.

So we're still in the game.

Yes.

Soon we'll be with your little sister and your mother.

It'll be OK.

Ana!

Jhon!

Jhon!

They're down there.

-Some guy saw them. -Are you sure?

Do you think I'd make this shit up?

We're going to lose them.

We're going to lose them!

PARAMEDIC

There they are!

Hey!

Shit. We need a car.

Jhon!

Jhon!

We need a car!

Breaking news. We have the latest results.

With 596 precincts reporting, 0.6% of the total results:

Carlos Andres Navas: 43%.

Rafael Cardona: 24%.

Daniela Leon: 22%.

Others: 11%.

We repeat, these are the current results...

No, asshole. Navas and Cardona? We have to choose between those two?

...of 96,657 voting precincts, 0.6%...

throughout the country.

With this, Carlos Andres Navas...

We still have a chance, right?

Stay tuned for the latest results from these precincts.

We'll keep you informed.

Javier!

Ana!

Javier!

Ana!

Mommy!

Mommy. Mommy.

No! No!

The girl is alive.

Mariela, let's go. Let's go!

Let's go!

Sir.

Please!

She needs a hospital.

She's just a kid. Sir.

The third results are out.

Shit!

Ma'am.

Please, she's just a kid. She needs a hospital.

-Jhon, I'm going to get my wife. -Go.

Go. I'll go get her.

DANIELA LEON PRESIDENT THE LEADER OF TOMORROW

The problems of Colombians are my problems.

My fellow Colombians...

when I decided to run for president,

my only wish was to serve Colombia.

That...

has been my core belief since I worked as attorney general

and will be until I die.

This is your achievement, a country that believes in change.

We are going into the second round with the support of every citizen.

And we will fight by taking the high road.

We'll win with our heads held high, with honest actions.

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

That's all that matters.

Because in Colombia,

an honest person can become president.

And we will set that example.

Daniela for president!

What we were looking for is in Bogotá.

We couldn't stop it.

I can't keep doing this.

Don't call me again.
