Man: I am Tonatiuh Pérez Prieto.
Tona.
And this is where it all began,
in the small town of Catemaco,
surrounded by my family,
the traditions and the joy of being poor.
At the age of six I lost my parents
due to a tragic accident at the fairgrounds.
Then, my life changed.
I was left an orphan in the care of my granny
who taught me the values of respect,
love for others, and honesty.
We didn't have much money,
so I would go out into the streets
to sell marzipans and I saved for my jarocha harp.
I loved to bring culture to the people of my town.
That kid was a hard worker, very tough.
He used to help the old ladies with their errand bags.
Tona: That's how I fulfilled my first dream:
To be a bus driver's assistant.
There's still room, come on up, come on up!
One Christmas,
we collected money from the fellows at the bus station
to buy him a roller racer,
but Tona was so kindhearted that he dismantled it
to turn it into a cart to help his grandmother
because of the terrible varicose veins
that wouldn't let her walk.
Tona: With the help of the people and God,
I managed to get my first job
to drive my own bus.
As a driver,
I experienced labor injustice firsthand
and formed the first transport workers' union
in the Gulf of Mexico.
I dedicated myself to help my people in Veracruz
at all costs,
fighting against the movement's number one enemy:
the corrupt and the dishonest.
Now with my party, the PTTT,
I've been fighting for social welfare
for over 20 years.
Supporters: Tona, Tona!
I am the candidate that Mexico was waiting for.
My colors are work and honesty.
Uruchurtu, Bella, Vale, Oliver!
Come!
As a team and as a family, we are going to make it!
I am someone just like you.
Tona, won't give up on you.
Let's go hard for a better future!
♪ Tona, Tona Won't give up on you ♪
♪ Tona ♪
That is bullshit.
That man was honest.
He was a real man of the people.
Look.
How did he come to that?
Listen, us journalists have to be completely neutral.
Whether we like it or not,
the man has charisma, a humble origin
and that is a political asset.
I liked his wife who died much better.
What was her name? Ah, Amanda!
Lawyer, intelligent, defender of social causes.
It's a pity she passed away, she truly was his inspiration!
Unlike the wife he has now,
who is only interested in money, fame, the media...
Hold on, hold on, that's not important, Medrano.
What's important is to know
who's going to cover Tona's campaign closing.
Don't fucking look at me. I've already done enough.
I don't think there's a serious journalist
who will listen to a man
that has become a swindler.
I will.
Sorry, what was your name again?
Joaquín, she's the new girl, Diana Ochoa.
I do believe Tona.
Many people are very prejudiced against him,
but he is not like other politicians.
He doesn't speak the same way, he comes from below,
he was an orphan,
he was left without opportunities
like many of the children in this country,
and he still got ahead.
Oh, for fuck's sake!
Did you hear about the roller racer?
Come on!
I think there's still a lot of that Tona we all knew.
So that's that!
You're in charge of Tona's campaign closing.
Very well! Everybody get to work.
Oh, and I am Diana Ordoñez.
[supporters cheer]
I will see for your health!
Because the most important for me
are the children and their education.
I'm going to pave your street, huh?
[supporters cheer]
Tona: Does everybody have your food care packages?
I'll see to the poor before anyone else!
I'll see to the businessmen before anyone else! Cheers!
Supporters: Cheers!
Shalom to the whole community. Lejaim!
I'm a feminist because I had a mother,
I have a wife and I have a daughter!
[silence]
I will always support the traditional family
and fight against debauchery.
Love is love, long live diversity!
Yes, let's go hard with Tona!

Host: The presidential campaign is
in its final stretch
and will end with the debate
between Victoria Suárez and Tonatiuh Pérez Prieto.
The brilliant candidate for the PTTT
that nobody saw coming and today leads all the polls.
Hell yeah!
[supporters cheer]
Tona is just the dolphin we needed.
He fulfills everything in the market studies.
With all the targets.
Social fighter, humble origin,
someone the people identify with.
[in English] I love that motherfucker!
Tona, baby, I love you!
[giggles]
What do you think of Nazario? He think he's so cool.
He can't even smile because of all the Botox he has.
He's a powerful businessman playing politics
who thinks he's using me,
but I am the one using him.
Victoria: I have to recognize
that Tona came from the bottom,
but we must not forget that I...
as I've showed everyone,
I am a woman,
and I hope this will be a clean race...
Oh, sit down, lady!
Look at her mingling with the masses,
shaking hands with everyone!
And she even brings alcohol to disinfect herself, man.
Victoria: I really believe that we must not forget
that candidate Pérez Prieto
has serious accusations of corruption hanging over him.
Enough of that, because today we are here
celebrating that we are running a great campaign
and that we are ahead in the polls!
Because nobody believed in us
and today we are one step away from the presidency!
Hell, yes! Hell, no! Why the fuck no?
Have you seen Bella?
Hell, yes! Hell, no! Why the fuck no?
Uruchurtu: There she is! The future first lady of Mexico!
- You look beautiful. - Thank you.
Exclusive design, Uru.
Uruchurtu: You're missing... You, the UNAM intern.
Come here, lend us your earrings!
Put them on.
Why do the parties want us
to look like handicrafts?
Well, a little bit of folklore, to connect with the people.
Come on! Don't argue with me. Thank you.
Supporters: Tona, Tona, won't give up on you.
Tona!
Tona, Tona, won't give up on you
Tona!
[supporters cheer]
Uruchurtu: What are you doing?
A video for my TikTok.
I'm going to do the Tona Challenge
to go viral with all the kids.
That's very fashionable right now, right?
My daughter is on it all day.
- Uruchurtu: Oh, okay. - Bella!
Thanks. You, too!
Alright, shall we? The press is already outside.
Yes.
Let's go.
Do I seem drunk?
No... Did you learn your speech?
Of course I did, let's see:
A candidate of the people who comes from below,
businessmen, rich, poor...
I love you, Mexico! Honesty and all that stuff.
- You're a fucking genius. - Right?
I'm ready!
You'd better wait for us here. I am the candidate, honey.
Come on, leave this.
Will you hold it? I'm deeply sorry.
- Thank you. - No shit!
[cumbia music]
- Tona! Tona! Tona! - Thank you, thank you!
Thank you, thank you!
Supporters: Tona, Tona!
A selfie.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Thank you.
I'm only going to tell you one thing.
We are going to win!
[cheer]
Let's go hard...
supporters: For a better future!
You're going to have money, you're going to have money,
you're going to have money, we're all going to have money!
Well, everyone but me. That's for sure.
Do you see yourself as the next president?
All in good time, mate.
We still have to close the campaigns
Well, that's if the candidate arrives on her bicycle,
see, she is already old and can hurt her knees.
Dr. Suárez says you are corrupt and dishonest,
what do you answer to that?
You have to turn a blind eye to it.
Candidate, how do you plan to face
the corruption accusations against you?
Tona! Tona! Tona!
Man 2: Tona!
Tona! Buddy! Don't you remember me?
Who is that? Do you know him?
I don't know, but you know the drill.
You become famous and you get buddies everywhere.
This is power.
Thank you all very much,
the candidate is going to take a few days off
before the debate in a modest retirement center.
Thank you all very much. Tona for president!
Tona, Tona, won't give up on you
Tona!
Tona, Tona, won't give up on you
Tona!

Tona: Hello there!
It must be exhausting to be the wife of a candidate.
"Tona's candidacy at risk."
Can you explain to me what this is all about?
It's nothing.
Oh, come on. That's how it is.
They're slagging me off because I'm ahead in the polls.
That you have received a lot of money
from several governors for your campaign.
No! That's a lie.
Money from programs to help the poor.
Bastards, they know no limits!
But you knew perfectly well where that money came from!
Bella, do you think I'm going to receive money
from the governors?
They're assholes.
There are two I don't even talk to.
In politics there are so many scumbags.
They take money from the poor
and then spend it on excessive luxuries.
They are shameless.
Sir, the Corvette you bought just arrived.
[cheeky music]
That was a gift from the people.
Manservant: Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
[glasses clink]
Alright, alright, alright.
I don't want to know anything, but don't ruin my dream.
Cannonball!
[boy screams excitedly]
[water splash]
Oh, how cute!
[imitates car engine]
[cheeky music]
[imitates car engine]
You're stealing again.
Right?
No way! The party gave it to me.
Vale!
Vale!
Vale!
See, everyone's life will change from now on,
but it will be for the better.
So I need your support as a daughter, as a family
so we can all have a better future.
Are you serious?
Are you giving me a speech to vote for you?
Tona: Of course not.
Victoria has feminist ideas and also supports ecology.
So do I! That car is a hybrid.
I'll lend it to you whenever you want.
You've become a privileged person, Dad.
You're just like your mom.
Don't mess with my mom.
If she could see what you've become,
I'm sure she'd die all over again.
Vale, why are you doing this to me?
What did I do to you? I mean, are you that ashamed of me?
It's not shame.
It's pity, Dad.
I'm doing all this for you, okay?
You're the most important thing in my life.
And I don't want you to lack anything, unlike me.
Are you serious? Are you going to blackmail me emotionally?
No, I'm not blackmailing you.
You know I was an orphan
and from a very young age I had to go out on my own.
I was nobody, Vale.
And now I'm going to be somebody
and I would love for you to be with me.
And I would have loved for you to have been with me
all those years, Dad,
and that you hadn't been working all the time.
So, according to you, I don't work.
Work was what you did with my mother.
Vale: Listen to the lower class, understand their needs,
be with them side by side, Dad.
Not pandering to people who don't care about you
and don't even know you,
and who are only interested in power and money.
[soft music]
See?
Team Victoria, Dad.
[music continues]
[door closes]
[dice roll]
- Two to one. - I'm going to beat you!
No. With my luck right now, nobody can beat me.
Check this out.
Meh!
Tona: Voilà!
Are you ready for magic?
Show me.
[dice roll]
[giggles]
- One more time? - Alright.
But blow it out, there goes the magic.
Double six again?
How did you do it?
Give it a try.
But blow it out, there's the trick!
[dice roll]
Double six!
Tona: Amazing, right?
[dice roll]
Double six!
[phone rings]
BUDDY RAÚL
[dice roll]
- You like it, don't you? - Yeah.
Another double six.
I protest to keep and uphold
the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States
and to perform loyally and patriotically
the office of President of the Republic
that the people have conferred on me.
[cheers]
[motivational music]
Hell, yeah! Just look at you.
Handsome,
successful.
Don't be afraid of success, man.
[giggles]
You deserve it, Tonatiuh.
You deserve it.
"A picture, a picture, Mr. President!"
Bella: Tona!
It's from Catemaco.
Your grandma is very ill.
Hello?
[helicopter runs]
[door closes]
[helicopter runs]
[soft music]
Excuse me.
[pray]
Aunt, how is my grandma doing?
Come in and say goodbye, sweetheart.
[music continues]
Woman 2: Tonatiuh!
[hard breathing]
It's you!
Tona: Granny Toña!
Come closer, my darling.
I'm here, Granny Toña.
Come a little closer, sweetie.
Closer.
[groans]
You're a bastard!
Liar, dishonest, corrupt,
just like all the politicians!
But, Granny Toña...
Aren't you glad for me?
I'm going to be the next president of Mexico!
I didn't want any fucking grandchild president.
Listen to me, Tonatiuh Galación Pérez Prieto.
If you really want me to leave in peace,
please promise to me that you're going to be honest
and you're not going to tell lies
from now on!
Damn, Granny Toña.
How can I be honest and not tell lies
if I am a politician?
Swear it, idiot!
I can't, Granny Toña,
the thing is
they'll eat me alive.
[hard breathing]
For the last time...
swear to me that you will be honest!
I...
swear...
to...
you...
Granny Toña...
Granny Toña.
Swear it to me, idiot!
Swear to me you're going to be honest!
You know I can't, Granny Toña.
Toña: Then...
I'll have to...
[speaks foreign language]
Granny Toña.
Granny Toña.
No, Granny Toña...
Granny Toña...
[speaks foreign language]
[door opens]
[voice speaks foreign language]
- Uruchurtu? - Uruchurtu: Yeah?
I have bad news.
My grandma died.
Uruchurtu: I'm really sorry.
Yes, I'm sure you must be very sorry,
you fuck hypocrite.
[gust of wind]
Uruchurtu: What?
Uruchurtu: What?
No, no, it's nothing. I'll give you the information.
[military music]
I protest to steal and violate the Constitution,
to break the laws and get rich
at the expense of my country.
[music ends]
You don't deserve a fucking thing, Tonatiuh!
You betrayed your principles.
You don't care about the people.
Corrupt!
Bella: Good morning, Tonatiuh.
How does the next president of Mexico feel this morning?
Swollen.
Depressed.
And wanting to be anywhere else but here with you.
God, no!
You don't know what it took me to find this outfit.
It's not every day you're interviewed
on Good Morning Joy.
But, honestly.
How do I look?
Fat.
What's wrong with you, asshole?
Do you have colitis or is that your regular belly?
What's wrong with you, idiot?
What are you doing? I just got Botox!
Oh, no wonder you looked weird.
What else have you had done?
What else have you had done, you little fucker?
Hair grafts,
penis jobs,
and anal bleaching.
[cheeky music]
Gross!
- Ready, candidate. - Thanks.
"Fat?" "Regular belly?"
Holy shit.
Why did you tell her that?
I don't know. I don't understand it either.
You didn't brush your teeth, did you?
We did a great job picking that suit.
You look very presidential.
And I'm not even wearing any underwear.
I haven't worn any in 15 years.
I love going bareback.
This coffee tastes awful!
But it's the coffee I bring you every day.
And I hate it every day.
I appreciate your kindness, though.
Just because I'm going to be president, butt-kisser!
[cheeky music]
Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed, huh?
Look, I get it, Tona.
It's a lot of pressure, but let's go over it again.
It's the most important morning show in all of TV.
It's live, we can't screw it up.
You need to look like a great family man, a great husband,
an upstanding man of values.
Ladies are suckers for that stuff.
What do you think?
I think you're a lying jerk and I'm sure you're gay.
Woman 3: Are you ready? You're on in five minutes.
Thank you.
Hosts 2: Good morning.
- Good morning joy. - How are you?
- Welcome. You two look amazing. - Thanks.
Have a seat. Feel at home.
Do you know you're the couple of the moment?
You look like you've been married for a lifetime.
Right? Well, it's only been two years.
They've been the happiest years of my life.
I have to confess I'm a huge fan of the show!
I never miss it.
Besides, I've always dreamed of hosting this show.
- Right, honey? - Oh, that's so sweet. Thanks.
Candidate.
I want to tell you that I admire you very much.
Your political ascent is wonderful,
and nobody gave a penny for you.
I can relate because I also
started from the bottom.
From the bottom of whom?
Excuse me? What's wrong with you?
Five, four, three, two...
[TV show intro music]
Thank you for staying tuned on Good Morning Joy.
I'm sorry to inform you that the interview we had
with candidate Tonatiuh Pérez Prieto
had to be cancelled at the last minute
due to scheduling problems.
Now we go to the weather forecast!
Will you stop it?
I love the weather babe!
Hey, cutie pie!
Woman 4: Good morning joy.
Let's continue with the weather forecast.
Heavy rains are approaching in the north of Tamaulipas,
Zacatecas and Chihuahua,
so don't forget to carry your umbrella.
What are you doing, asshole?
You're fucking up terribly! You're an idiot!
What was that Tonatiuh?
What did you do?
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I swear, I open my mouth and it all comes out.
I think something and I say it. I have no filter.
Alright, Tona, relax.
I've had worse candidates: drunks, sex scandals,
and one who was a real asshole.
What do we do, Uruchurtu?
I can't control myself. We are fucked!
Are you on drugs or what?
Not today.
Okay, okay, okay. Then we are fine.
It's stress, it's perfectly normal.
Okay, look.
- Take two of these. - OK.
They'll relax you.
We have a very busy schedule. I don't want to cancel anything,
and above all, I don't want any surprises.
Someone told me they saw you leaving a gay club
and I told everybody.
Yes, Uruchurtu.
There's a rumor going around that you're gay,
and I started it.
Oh, no shit!
[cheeky music]
Look, we'll accept you.
You just have to accept yourself.
Damn.
[exhales]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Uruchurtu: Tona, Tona, wake up.
We are here.
Where?
Uruchurtu: The Congress.
The Congress?
- Why? - Nazario's orders.
You have to appear before the PTTT deputies
to clear up the corruption scandal.
Oh no, and it has to be today?
- Can't it be rescheduled? - No, it can't, it's a priority.
Besides, look at this Tona.
Hashtag LordWeather.
I love the weather babe!
Hey, cutie pie!
You are a trending topic in all the socials.
They told me that there are several journalists there.
Tona: Fuck!
Just keep quiet, don't say anything
and go straight to the Congress, okay?
Let's go.
[journalists speak at once]
No, no, no, no, no!
Uruchurtu: Please.
Uruchurtu: Please, no, it's dangerous...
Candidate, candidate, candidate!
Candidate, is it true that you received money
from the governors for your campaign?
Do you have anything to say about it?
Yes.
You do? What do you have to say?
I did receive money, and not just from the governors.
I know no limits. I'm corrupt!
Uruchurtu: Let's go, candidate.
And I just bought a very cool Corvette.
And this watch that cost 100 thousand dollars.
What you say is true?
And a penthouse in the west side to meet my lovers.
No, candidate, please, let's go.
Please, candidate.
The candidate will be answering more questions later, thank you.
- Did you get it? - Yeah, look.
[door closes]
What the hell was that, Tonatiuh?
I don't know, I swear I try but I can't.
I can't tell a single lie,
everything I do and everything I say is honest.
Now it turns out you had an honesty attack?
That's bullshit, I told you it's just stress.
You don't get it, Uruchurtu.
I want to shut up but I can't.
It's like I'm possessed.
But you won't understand
because you are an idiot.
Excuse me?
See I cannot lie?
[cheeky music]
I'm sure it was my grandmother Toña
when I went to see her on her deathbed.
I'm sure she put a little curse on me.
Uruchurtu: Now it turns out your grandmother was a witch.
And one of the best in Catemaco.
Witchcraft doesn't exist, it's all bullshit.
Bullshit, you say?
I'll prove it to you. Come here, sit down.
Look.
You and Nazario have me under investigation everywhere.
OK? I know you have my phones tapped.
Don't play dumb, you even know what my farts smell like.
You know things that I would never confide in anyone.
Ask me anything,
come on.
Where do you go every Wednesday afternoon
when you tell your wife you're going to
the secretariat's office?
With my mistress.
Lupe, the Dominatrix.
I love it when she melts wax in my navel
and squeezes my nipples
and does like this with her little finger.
[opera music]
Do you believe me now?
I'll see if I can reschedule
the appearance with the deputies.
Thanks, Uruchurtu. I owe you one.
In the worst fucking moment.
- I'll take this with me. - Yeah, yeah, take it.
Please don't leave this room, don't talk to anyone,
what am I going to tell Nazario?
- No, sir. No, sir. - Don't open the door to anybody.
To anybody, to anybody.
Uruchurtu, I'm Diana Ordoñez, from La Verdad newspaper.
Good afternoon.
I'd like an interview with Mr. Pérez Prieto.
We are not giving interviews right now.
But it would be an opportunity for him
to give his version of the accusations
and his very strange behavior.
Listen,
the candidate is very stressed by the campaign.
That's all, nothing's going on.
Yes, nevertheless, I'd like to hear his version.
- No, no. - It's only ten minutes.
- It would help to clarify... - Don't insist, Dianita.
[knock on the door]
Woman 5: Tona...
Why did you lock the door? You know I have keys.
What did you put in your mouth?
Oh, you pig!
Is this another one of your little erotic games?
You pervert, let's play.
[screams]
Do you want me to bring my muzzle too?
- What do you want me to do? - Nothing, nothing.
Did you like the other day?
- Wait. Oh, God. - You did like it, didn't you?
I can't if I don't take two Viagra pills.
What?
It's only with you, I don't like you anymore.
What did you say?
I was thinking of dumping you for a girl hotter than you.
What?
Besides, you never made the move I like.
Woman 5: Son of a...
[pants]
- Son of a... You'll see. - Tona: God, no!
Woman 5: I'm going to get you.
Woman 5: Where are you, you coward?
Tonatiuh, where are you asshole?
[footsteps move away]
Tonatiuh Pérez Prieto...
You're already here, sit down. Do you want a whiskey?
Yes, please.
[exhales]
Are you stressed out?
If it's because of the corruption scandal
that Victoria Suárez is spreading around...
I think we could invent another scandal.
Involve other people so they'll forget about this.
I can think of a couple of things,
of course, if you'll let me help you.
Are you okay?
I want to propose to you something really important.
Sit down here, champ.
I'll go straight to the point.
I can offer you all the support of the party.
In exchange
of the Ministry of Environment.
While we're at it,
we're ready for the hard task
of taking on the Ministry of the Interior.
What a coincidence.
[lock clicks open]
[angelic voices]
[sniffs]
How much is in there?
It's an advance on our good intentions.
What do you think?
Let's go hard.
I can't.
Yes... take it, it's all yours.
I mean, I want to, but I can't.
Nobody will judge you,
we all know how this game is played.
Hypocrite.
You're just a bunch of shirkers who keep jumping
from party to party as it suits you best.
Are you sure?
You could be risking the presidency here, Tonatiuh.
You are not even environmentalists.
You don't give a damn
about climate change and animals.
And your briefcase is made of crocodile skin.
I know because I have the belt and the shoes.
[wheels squeak]
PRESS
Sir! Doctor Uruchurtu summoned me
to do a live stream with the deputies.
I'm the Community Manager.
Now everybody is a Community Manager.
That's not a real job.
But we have to do a live stream right now
so we can put out the fire of all your statements!
- Taxi! - Sir!
There's the candidate!
[journalists speak at once]
Journalist 2: Sir!
And so you know, I plagiarized my thesis.
Goddamn it!
- Let's go! - What's up, Lord Weather?
Where shall I take you?
Wherever this piece of crap can take us, now!
Hey, it passed the technical inspection!
But the customer's requests are orders.
This is what happens when fame meets power.
That's how it is, right?
How was your day?
See your top? It's just as ugly.
I can't be anywhere.
I can't be in the office,
I can't be in the apartment in the west side,
I can't be in the cottage I expropriated
in the city outskirts either.
I think it's not good for you to ask me
any questions right now.
This asshole again!
It was a gift from you.
Uruchurtu: Tona, where the fuck are you?
Nazario is breathing down my neck.
And he isn't the first.
He's asking me to live stream to fix the mess you made.
It's a strategy requested directly from Nazario.
You do understand he is the businessman
who put you where you are, don't you?
Fucking shit.
[water runs]
Liar.
Hypocrite.
You used to criticize corrupt politicians
and you ended up becoming one of them.
And look at you now
hiding here like a little mouse.
No, like a rat.
You're a two-legged rat.
And stop dying your hair, you look ridiculous.
Holy shit...
Vale.
[door closes]
What are you doing here? Were you listening to me?
Of course not, I wanted to use the bathroom.
I don't recommend it, even I got dizzy.
Dad...
I saw many videos about you.
Is everything you said true?
I really don't know what's happening to me.
But it's like I had an honesty attack.
You won't believe me,
but I can't do anything dishonest,
including lying.
It could be a psychotic break, a guilt trip.
The subconscious is more powerful than you think, Dad.
You know what? I'm gonna lock myself up.
If I keep talking, I'm gonna get in more trouble.
Dad.
I heard you had to do a Live. Do you know how to do it?
If you don't, I can help you.
Thanks, but I can't talk to anybody now.
You wanted my help, didn't you?
Let me help you.
[door opens]
Come on.
- Come on. Come on, Dad. - Oh, God.
- Alright, sit here. - Yes.
Easy, easy.
- Yeah, yeah. - Everything will be okay.
How about I just write down
what I'm gonna say? It'll be easier.
No, Dad, people want to hear you.
It's time to come forward and be honest.
- You can do it. Come on. - Alright.
Wait. Do I look okay?
- Yes, Dad... - Alright, let's do it.
- No, maybe another day. - No, come on, Dad. Sit down.
- But, sweetheart... - And we are live.
Dear friends.
I am very happy to greet you,
I know many of you were waiting for this moment
for me to come out and...
Dad, we are live.
First question:
What are your thoughts on feminism?
Well, I have had many female friends.
And I've hooked up with all of them.
Well, not with the ugly ones.
[cheeky music]
Ah, well, I love women.
Especially the ones who don't complain.
I'm zero deconstructed
and I don't even know what that is.
At least you were honest.
[music ends]
[snores]
[door opens]
[door closes]
What did you do?
Nothing.
It was your idea to do the live, right?
No, he asked me to, I swear.
You always say your dad's a liar and you're just like him.
- It wasn't exactly like that. - Really?
You saw he was sinking
and you didn't do anything to help him.
You know he could lose the candidacy, don't you?
All you care about is being first lady.
That's why you married him.
Well yes, and he knew it.
And you know what? I deserve it.
I deserve it. I deserve it.
[tense music]
Tona: Vale.
I love you so much, thanks.
Even though you were an accident and ruined part of my youth,
you've always been my baby.
[soft music]
[snores]
[coffee machine beeps]
Bella: Tonatiuh.
Look, they've been here since early morning.
I'm sick of them.
I'm worried.
I'm going to go to a hotel where nobody can find me.
I'm keeping a low profile until the dust settles.
You can go fuck yourself.
Listen, Bella.
Trust me.
I'm doing this to protect us, too.
[murmur of agreement]
You know what I like most about you?
What?
Your eggs.
Your eggs with black beans and cheese.
They're delicious.
- Receptionist: Here's your key. - Thank you.
A room, please.
Name and signature.
[jaunty music]
[music continues]
Receptionist: Here's your key, candidate.
How do you know he's going to be there?
I have my sources.
They even told me the room number.
Really?
We're going for the scoop of the year.
[all speak at once]
[cheeky music]
[all speak at once]
Holy shit!
[music intensifies]
[screams]
[breaths quickly]
[screams]
[knock on the door]
[moans]
[window slides]
[window slides]
Don't mind me, okay?
Is this your scoop?
Stay here, okay?
[music continues]
I can borrow it, right?
Thank you.
[journalist speak at once]
[elevator dings]
[door closes]
Candidate. I can help you.
[breaths heavily]
I believe in you, candidate.
Come on. Trust me.
[door opens]
My name is Diana.
I work for La Verdad newspaper.
Alright.
What do we do?
Move it, come on. Move it!
[water runs]
[knock on the door]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Get in here.
Candidate.
Diana: Candidate?
Are you going to stay in there forever?
I promise, no questions.
[door opens]
How do you feel?
Tona: Bad... Worse than that.
Hey, what did you say? No questions, okay?
You know why I was sent to cover your candidacy?
I was the only one who believed in you in the newspaper.
The only one who didn't believe you were a puppet.
Tonatiuh,
I know you are innocent.
Aren't you?
Innocent my ass. I'm in it up to my neck.
Hey!
I see what you're doing, Diana.
You're applying reverse psychology to me.
Then it's true.
When did you start corrupting yourself?
That's another question.
I realized that everything people say is true.
That the poor politician it is poor indeed,
that there is no progress without cheating,
that the end justifies the means.
[soft music]
What about Raúl Gómez,
your fellow in the struggle?
Is he going to be part of your cabinet or are you
going to turn your back on him as well?
Don't open the door.
Thanks, thanks a lot.
I know you.
Were you interviewing the candidate
without his campaign manager present?
That's a breach of trust.
You can't use anything he said. I'm warning you.
Tona: Now, calm down, Uruchurtu.
She wasn't interviewing me.
We were talking.
Let's see how you explain it to Nazario. Let's go.
The candidate promised me an interview.
Listen, girl. I'd be easier to interview the Pope.
La Verdad newspaper, right?
Well, Joaquín Moreno is my buddy.
If you publish anything the candidate told you
while I was absent,
I swear I'll end your career.
[tense music]
[sirens scream]
I know how I'm going to fix this.
I have to go back to where it all started,
but I have to go alone.
You're crazy.
I'm not going to leave you alone, much less now.
Listen, Uruchurtu, I have to go alone.
Please, don't ask any questions, okay?
Just trust me.
Otherwise, we're lost
and Nazario is going to kill us both.
[La Tropa Vallenata plays "Los caminos de la vida"]
Sweets, marzipans, lollipops!
Buddy! Come here.
Let me see.
Give me the fried bananas.
Here, this is for you.
For being such a hard worker.
[music continues]
Hold on, keep it.
[engine runs]
Tona: I'm going to see for your health.
Thus, this is the first stone of many hospitals
that I commit to build.
[continues hearing supporters cheer]
[music fades]
[flute solo]
- Hello. - Holy shit!
I was waiting for you,
so you're the possessed one.
Yes, my grandma Toña put a little curse on me.
She practiced these things, too.
Mrs. Toña, may Shango
and God have her in their glory.
Come with me, let's try to talk to her.
Talk to her?
Is that possible?
Shaman: By the blood of the shamans
and witches of Catemaco
that also ran through your veins,
I summon you.
Your grandson needs you.
[speaks foreign language]
Close your eyes!
Shaman: Toña,
sit here at my right hand.
[gasps]
Shaman: Dear Tonatiuh.
Is that you?
Come closer, sweetheart.
Closer.
Closer.
[slaps]
[moans]
Granny Toña...
it's really you.
What do you want with me, you bastard?
Granny Toña, being honest is ruining my life.
I learned my lesson.
I want you to lift the curse you put on me.
I didn't do anything to you.
It's your conscience, Tonatiuh.
He who deceive others,
in the end only deceives himself.
When you dare to know yourself
and you are honest enough to accept yourself as you are,
then you will be free again.
Only you can save yourself.
I don't understand, Granny Toña.
But you will.
[soft music]
Forgive me.
He who does not forgive cannot die in peace.
I forgive you, sweetie.
Holy shit!
Did you talk to her?
Let go off me, sir.
Here.
Thank you.
Uruchurtu: So, what happened?
My grandma possessed a shaman and I talked to her.
Oh, you can lie now. I'm relieved.
No, I mean it.
I literally talked with my grandmother.
Your dead grandmother?
Yes, she told me she can't do anything.
That only I can save myself.
- What the fuck does that mean? - I don't know.
I don't know what else to do.
Nazario wants to see you as soon as possible.
I'm sorry.
It was me.
Gross.
Because that was an arbitrary designation,
it was the oligarchy's chose,
specifically, a very powerful man.
But the people of Mexico have the right to know.
He is a man whose name begins with "Na"
and ends with "zario."
That woman sucks your energy.
You hear her speak and you feel
how she sucks your vitality.
[in English] She's like a fucking vortex, man.
[in Spanish] Just looking at her makes me sick.
And she is going to beat us.
What's wrong with you, motherfuckers?
Do you think this is a game?
Have you noticed the mess you've made?
Are you having a blast?
- Nazario... - You shut up.
The one I want to talk to is you.
I'm going to organize a press conference for today
so that you can defend the party against the accusations.
That's exactly what we wanted to talk to you about...
Nazario: Shut up.
Can you at least do that?
- No. - No?
What the hell does that mean?
Well, the candidate is under a lot of stress,
I mean, nothing we haven't seen before, but...
Shh, enough.
[fingers tap]
Look, Tona, I'm going to be very honest with you.
When I first met you,
you seemed unrefined to me,
but I have come to admire you.
[in English] You fucking blow my mind.
[in Spanish] Your charisma.
Your way with the people.
You have a gift.
If you no longer believe in yourself,
I still do.
What did you think of me when you meet me?
I don't think this is the time to get into...
In fact, what do you think about me now?
Come on, say it.
You're a ridiculous old fuck.
You're a suck-up.
And I hate it when you speak English.
You pride on having built your wealth on your own.
And we all know you wouldn't be anything
without your grandfather's inheritance.
Now you want to play politics as if we were your puppets.
That's what I think of you, that you're a stuck-up man.
Even though you're a geezer.
Oh, and your secretary told me you're impotent.
Anything else?
- Yeah, of course. - No, fuck it.
You two fix this, alone.
And it's not just about the campaign anymore.
If you don't fix this mess,
I'm personally going to ruin your fucking lives.
[in English] Now, fuck off.
What did he say?
That we should go.
Uruchurtu has always made fun of your name.
He says it's very shitty to be called Nazario.
And the truth is he's right.
[door closes]
Tona! Tona!
Thank you all for being here.
Thanks to the media
and to the PTTT deputies who joined us.
Today, the candidate, Tonatiuh Pérez Prieto
is here to show his face.
[camera flashes]
He is not going to speak or answer any questions.
I am going to speak on behalf of him and the party.
He is here only for that, to show his face.
Let me begin by saying
that there is not a single proof...
- of the accusations... - Let the candidate speak.
We were promised that.
[journalists speak at once]
Tona, was there a corruption scheme
to finance your campaign?
- Yes! - You don't have to answer any...
Is the rumor about the Corvette and house you bought true?
Yes, two houses, both of them white.
And I'm building a house in Houston with a pool.
- A Parthenon... - So the members of your party...
will continue to support your candidacy?
They're worse. They're sucker fish.
Yeah, don't give me that look. You're the most corrupt.
You're just waiting for the scraps.
Where are you going? Suckerfish!
Thank you very much, the conference is over.
Let's go, Tonatiuh.
If we didn't steal so much, we would be like Denmark.
[all speak at once]
Mexico needs something different.
To go with someone who has the V for veracity,
the V for values, the V for Victoria.
We have all seen candidate Tonatiuh Pérez Prieto's madness.
Tona... is a danger to Mexico.
Host: Today's conference could be
the last nail in the coffin
of Tonatiuh Pérez Prieto's campaign,
along with multiple stumbles in his political career.
If we didn't steal so much, we would be like Denmark.
[people scream]
[band a music]
Both government and citizens are going to help.
Journalist 2: Define "help."
Next question.
Host: It is the first time in history that a candidate
loses a lead of more than 20 points in two days.
Everything indicates that the victory is assured
for the candidate Victoria Suárez.
Oliver: Dad, shall we play soccer?
- God, right now... - What's wrong?
You always get happy when we play and I score goals.
I let you score.
Oops.
Sorry, Oliver, I didn't mean that.
But it's the truth, you're terrible.
Oh, God!
Oh, no! You too?
I watched your press conference.
Tona: Well, you must have really enjoyed it, didn't you?
You know what?
You're a pain in the ass with your privileged girl speeches.
You're a woke who climbs up any bandwagon.
And I didn't know its meaning, but I looked it up.
Well done, Dad.
But it's "woke."
"Woke."
God, no. Vale, I'm sorry.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[exhales]
Bella: What happened?
You promised me you were going to fix everything.
I didn't fix anything
and I ended up in a hotel room with a journalist.
You disgust me!
I can't believe you couldn't control yourself
in such a sensible time.
Look, nothing happened. I'm telling you the truth.
Oh please, when have you ever told the truth?
That's what I'm trying to explain to you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, sure.
[tense music]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[music continues]
Tona, Tona, Won't give up on you, Tona...
Tona... won't forgive himself.
[whines]
[sniffles]
I'm sorry, Amanda.

Oliver: Dad!
Dad.
Dad!
Oliver.
Dad, forget about soccer,
do you want to play backgammon?
Are those my dice?
Yes! I took them to school.
Check this out.
I won all this money off my stupid classmates.
Only double sixes.
Really, Oliver?
Well, this is only part of it.
I used the rest to bribe my teacher
and pass the test.
Just like you do.
What is it?
I know.
You want your cut because I won with your dice.
Is 20 percent okay?
No, it's not okay.
Come on!
It's 20 per cent of everything that goes through your hands.
That's why you're a politician.
Partners?
Thanks, son.
No, thanks to you, dude.
Or lord?
No, thanks for making me see what I really am.
Maybe it's too late to save me now.
But I can still save you.
Alright.
You're going to give this money back to your classmates,
and tell them you cheated and that you're sorry.
But they'll beat the crap out of me.
Definitely, but it will be well-earned.
You're also going to tell your teacher
that you're going to retake the test you paid for.
He's not going to give me anything back
and I'm going to fail, and we don't want that, right?
No, we don't.
But it will be well-earned.
And you're also going to talk to the principal
and tell her everything that happened.
Dad, they're going to kick me out of school.
Of course.
But in the future,
you're going to feel very proud of yourself
for having done the right thing.
And so will I.
[soft music]
- What about 80-20? - No, Oliver.
Fine.
So, the lady got the interview.
Yes.
Well, sort of.
Actually, I only have a video
where he doesn't tell anything new.
He told it to you in private. That's an exclusive.
Yes, but he did without his consent.
And the truth is, I don't think we can use it.
Of course we're going to use it.
We'll sink his campaign with that video.
One less corrupt person.
It would seem that now you are very interested
in sinking the candidate's campaign.
Why do you still believe in him
if he already spilled the beans?
My father was also a bus driver in Catemaco.
He would work a shift of over 18 hours.
To get back home with a pittance.
That made me feel very sad.
Until Tona appeared.
This is not going to stop. Are you ready?
Yes!
The people united will never be defeated!
The people united will never be defeated!
He encouraged the strike and everything changed.
He got your dad a salary raise. Is that it?
No.
Rights and justice.
Diana: Tona gave back dignity to my dad
and to all the drivers.
That's why I was able to go to college.
That's why I'm here. I owe that to Tona.
Before he died, my dad told me:
"They will attack that man from all sides,
they will want to destroy him,
but you keep believing in him,
because he's one of us.
"Tona is an honest man."
Diana, don't be naive.
Tona has never been a saint.
And who is?
You?
Is that the video you got?
So you did it.
You got the exclusive you wanted.
Yes.
But I don't plan to use it.
Diana.
You don't know how powerful
a journalist can be.
But you know what?
I didn't dare to exercise that power.
But you can.
[tense music]
Diana: Of course, that's why
Joaquín wants to ruin Tona's campaign.
Nazario is behind it all.
Joaquín: How are you, mate?
Yeah, I'm just on my way out.
I'll be right there.
Bella: Help us, Tona!
Let me go!
It's my house! Don't touch me, let me go!
I'm gonna sue you for sexual harassment.
Tona: Let her go. What the fuck is going on here?
Uruchurtu: No, no, calm down.
We're moving them to the apartment in the west side.
- Why? What's going on? - Uruchurtu: Nazario's orders.
If we can prevent you from talking to people,
to keep you locked in here,
if we can prevent you from even talking on the phone,
then maybe we have a chance to save this campaign.
But we need you to stay isolated.
But, for how long?
Until election day.
What? Are you crazy? But...
What about tonight's debate?
Forget about it.
You just open your mouth and start shooting off.
We need a mute candidate.
They're going to stay here
to make sure nobody enters or leaves the house.
Is that it?
Why don't you just throw me in jail?
[giggles]
Don't temp me, Tona.
Don't temp me.
That's the only modem, right?
Alright, perfect.
Let's go, let's go, come on, let's go. Let's go.
Thank you.
[tense music]
[traffic]
[tense music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
Nazario: You have to try the escamoles.
[in English] They're out of this world.
[music intensifies]
[music continues]
- Are you sure? - Yes.
They are setting him up.
I saw them negotiating behind his back.
Bastards. That's why they have Tona isolated,
out of reach and watched over by bodyguards.
What? Tona? How do you know?
I've got my sources.
We have to tell Tona.
But he's in a safe house, and he's surrounded.
How can I get in?
The journalist's job is not only to communicate the truth,
but to find the way to get to it.
Good luck.
[tense music]
[cheeky music]
I'll go all out.
But I have nothing.
Goddamn it!
Guard: Oh, boss, now you haven't hit a single one.
- Well, I'll get more beers. - Okay.
And as always, I'll bring you the warm ones
and the expired snacks.
The lady wants to see the candidate.
Doctor Uruchurtu sent me,
I'm the new secretary of Mr. Pérez Prieto.
He didn't tell us anything
and nobody is allowed here.
Are you sure?
Sir, do you know her?
- Of course... - I'm your new secretary.
Come on, let's go. We have a lot of work to do.
Oh, yes, sure.
- Guys. - Yes, yes, sir. Yeah.
[door closes]
You look really hot.
Oh, Tona.
Listen to me.
Your party has abandoned you.
Nazario is operating behind your back.
Sure.
My candidacy is lost.
Nazario is seeing who to negotiate with
to sell my defeat.
I didn't expect less of those bastards.
But you know what?
That it's better for Victoria to win.
The people deserve an honest president.
Victoria? An honest president?
Look.
Here.
Victoria and Nazario together. Motherfuckers!
They're only interested in power.
They don't care who's in the chair.
Tona, listen.
If there's an honest candidate in Mexico right now,
that is you.
I have to get to that debate.
We have to find a way out of here.
There's still hope.
- Tona: That's so good! Yeah! - Diana: Do you like it?
Tona: A lot, spank me.
We'd better turn on the TV.
Yeah, yeah.
Tona: Leave me a mark, leave me a mark.
- Diana: Like this? - Tona: Yeah, like that.
[fake moans]
Pinch my nipples!
[moans]
Sorry.
Hit me! With your whip!
Harder, I'm your bitch!
[opera music]
How long have they been there?
I think it's a long time, isn't it?
[moans]
Guard: Candidate!
[door opens]
[recorded fake moans]
Unbelievable.
Tona: Pinch my nipples!
Damn it... Let's go, hurry!
[tense music]
Relax,
don't forget I was a driver and one of the best.
Guard: There they are!
Step on it, idiot!
Diana: Here they come!
Here they come, Tona.
Tona: Fuck, they're going to catch us.
[wheels squeal]
Diana: Watch out, Tona, they're coming your way.
Stop, candidate!
- Diana: No, step on it, do it! - Stop!
[tense music]
Stop!
[brakes]
Diana: What are you doing?
What's wrong? Run the red light.
- I can't. - What?
What's wrong, boss? Stop, man!
- Diana: Step on it! - Get on, baldy, we'll miss him!
Tona: Hold on tight.
[tense music]
[wheels squeal]
I'm sorry.
[wheels squeal]
[music ends]
My buddy's bus station is nearby.
Which buddy?
The one who is going to help us.
Let's go.
[door closes]
Come on, hurry. The debate is about to start.
Diana: Hold on, Tona, I'm not used to heels.
[music on radio]
Tona: Where is he?
Buddy!
- Buddy. - Tona, what are you doing here?
Give me a hand.
We need to get to the debate. Please, drive us there.
I am your buddy now, right?
But before you denied me, you asshole.
You're right.
But you've always been my buddy.
I called you several times, you never picked up.
- Did you change your number? - No, it's the same.
But I blocked you because I was sick of your memes.
Hurry up, the debate has started.
Please, it's an emergency. For old times' sake.
Help us out, Raúl.
Hey, my bus!
It's that one.
- Really, Raúl? - You never picked up, buddy.
Well, but you're driving, for old times' sake.
You're adorable, but hurry up!
Let's go, let's go. Come on!
Raúl: Add them to my list!
[Daniela Romo plays "Mentiras"]
Diana: No, what are you doing? Keep driving.
Are you going downtown?
Yes, we're going, ma'am. Come on up, there's room.
Diana: Are you serious, Tona?
Oh, Tona.
Come on up, ma'am, sit down.
- Come on, let's go. - Yes.
[music continues]
Sir! My stop was back there!
Watch your step.
Thank you.
And López Mateos said,
that the Mexican Revolution was the perfect revolution,
because it made the rich poor
and the poor stupid.
Well, López Mateos said it even worse.
It made the fool a politician and the politician a rich man.
So, I am proposing something different.
Victoria: And finally,
I will never be absent,
because I am not like my adversary,
who did not even have the courage
to show up here today.
My government is going to be one
with a V for valiant, with a V for Victoria.
Moderator: Thank you, Victoria.
As you know, a debate was to be held tonight.
You are coming with us, too.
Come on!
However, as the candidate rightly points out,
it takes two to debate.
So this is the end of our broadcast...
Tona: Wait!
I want to participate.
I'm sorry candidate,
but we must respect the protocol,
the debate is over.
But we still have a few minutes, right?
It's fair.
Well, you have two minutes to finish.
ELECTIONS
[sighs]
[soft music]
In my life I have made many wrong decisions.
I betrayed my people, I betrayed my country.
I betrayed my family.
Today, I am not even able to see myself in a mirror.
I'm sure you can't either, Victoria.
I remember what my grandmother told me.
When you are honest with yourself
and can see yourself for whom you really are,
then you will be free again.
And that has changed me.
Mexico can change too,
because we are a beautiful country
with the most noble,
joyful, and hardworking people in the world.
We are a country with a big heart
that doesn't fit in our chest.
Please, candidate, conclude.
Since I was a kid,
I have seen and heard politicians
tell us the same lies every six years
and the same promises they would never fulfill.
And unfortunately, I became one of them,
but there is still the hope of having a male leader
or a female leader
who really cares about the people.
A person who is honest.
That is why...
I am resigning my candidacy for the presidency of Mexico.
That's it, Dad.
Tona: In hope...
that someday we will have that leader
that this great country deserves.
[music continues]
Thank you very much.

After the surprise resignation of Tonatiuh Pérez Prieto,
a new candidate for the PTTT has been announced today,
Dr. Camilo Uruchurtu, who is with us in the studio.
Mónica, thank you very much for the space.
On the contrary, candidate.
People of Mexico,
as you know,
I've been called
a technocrat, a privileged man, a whitexican.
But none of these disqualifications
is going to stop change.
The change we've all been waiting for,
the real one, so that now
things will be better for you and your family.
"Because I am you, Uruchur-tu
your partner, your ally, your candidate,
Uruchur-tu."
Fucking Uruchurtu.
You don't look that bad, huh?
Well,
just cut down on the chilaquiles.
You are distant from your children.
But you can get closer to them.
You're a nice person.
You are honest.
[soft music]
Vale, what are you doing here?
I was going to look for you at the apartment.
- Where's Oliver? - At his soccer game.
And Bella?
You know she and I...
It was obvious you were getting divorced.
You promised her something you can't fulfill now.
And the truth is, I didn't like her that much.
Hey, Vale.
What I told you the other day...
It was all true.
Somebody had to tell me.
I don't really understand your world, but I want to.
I want to be closer.
I realized that I got distant
and that what I wanted to be, had really nothing to do
with being a candidate or with money.
I know you don't like me talking about your mom,
but when she left us,
I felt lost.
She was my compass.
I mean, I've got no excuse.
I knew exactly what I was doing.
I just wanted to be somebody.
You are somebody.
You're my dad.
[music continues]
Diana: Hi, Tona.
Diana.
Diana: Don't think I forgot what you promised me.
An interview.
You still believe in politicians' promises?
[giggles]
I have a better idea.
How about we make a book?
A book?
About everything I saw.
What I experienced from the inside,
what I heard from the people, what they really need.
What do you think?
I like it.
Besides, it could be the first step to something
much bigger.
[music continues]
5 YEARS LATER
[supporters cheer]
Are you ready?
- Yes. And Oliver? - He's alright.
I've already talked to him.
Dad.
This is it.
Yes, sweetheart.
And after five years,
today we have a clean candidate,
shaped up.
Watch out, huh?
If this keeps going, there is no turning back.
But mostly, honest.
The people deserve the truth.
Let's welcome Tona Pérez Prieto
with a round of applause.
That's how it starts, buddy.
[supporters clap]
Candidate for the municipal presidency of Catemaco.
