A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mommy!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
Greetings to all candidates.
I want to start by asking Mr. Mejía a question.
Go ahead, please.
In your run for the presidency, you've given a speech that focused
on the personal use of drugs,
saying that the country should punish instead of criminalize.
Tell me, how are we doing?
-Does this mean... -For now, everything's going well.
...you believe that drugs for personal use should be confiscated?
Is there something we don't know?
You're already well-informed on our plan...
Nothing.
-Relax. -But as a congressman,
you were the author of a bill that said
that drug use should be considered a matter of public health,
allowing its consumption.
Those are two totally contradictory positions.
Which one's the right one?
Direct. Don't beat around the bush.
I think that we must face the drug issue with a heavy hand.
We should get all dealers off the streets
to prevent our children from getting hooked and thus prevent
this tragic cycle that tears apart families.
So, do you believe personal use should be sanctioned
and drug dealing should be criminalized?
Yes, I do.
We'll allow other candidates to answer
the question that was initially addressed to Mr. Mejía.
Mrs. Magda, please.
I don't agree with penalizing personal use in the case of minors.
It would be the easy way out, wouldn't it?
Shall we put them in jail and forget about their education?
No, ladies and gentlemen.
Criminally, young people require a different treatment.
Candidates, let's talk about the micro-trafficking
of agricultural economies
that, when unable to find ways to sell their products,
grow illegal crops.
How would you fight this?
Mr. Osman, your turn.
The fracture
between the agriculture and the city is what's causing the damage
in the rural population.
It's time for them to be integrated,
for the national economy to be a single effort.
But in order to achieve it, we have to free the countryside
from the infamous pest that illegal crops are.
It's evident that the easiest and most effective way
to put an end to these crops quickly is, without a doubt, fumigation.
Mrs. Meneses?
It's important to take into account some figures here.
Look, in 1999, Colombia had more
than 4500 acres of coca plants.
After a massive increase, in 2015, we managed to reduce them to 60,000.
But today, Colombia has more than 495,000 acres...
We fold it again...
Done.
Then, we fold it again, a little triangle here...
Done.
It wasn't supposed to look like this?
What did you do, Pablo?
Come on.
Here.
So that you'll always remember me.
So, yes, gentlemen.
Definitively, these crops must be eradicated.
I believe that eradication
can be done by alternative methods,
without contributing to environmental destruction.
Mejía!
Don't let Mejía handle this, Ramiro, please.
Mr. Mejía,
why don't you let Mrs. Meneses finish?
I thought she had already finished and that her position was clear,
she agrees with the eradication of illegal crops.
Through alternative methods.
Thank you, Mr. Perez.
In other words, we must work hand in hand with families that work the land,
swamps and forests, who are committed to their jobs,
without harming the environment.
I agree, Mrs. Meneses, and I'll add
that the State should protect these families.
We also agree
with the eradication of illegal crops,
but only if we replace those with alternative ones.
Pay for environmental service or social damages, those two things,
the economic and the environmental, will do the country good.
Mrs. Meneses, I propose that we work together
so we can make the country great!
Put an end to that alliance. Talk about economics.
-Figures. Basic exemption of 40%. -Perez!
I'm sorry to break up this beautiful idyll.
I think the question requires concrete proposals
and I'll give them from an economic point of view
because we just can't talk about
fighting drugs...
without money.
Therefore, I propose:
reduction by 30% in four years
of traditional corporate taxes,
reduction in the basic exemption by 40%,
to criminalize evasion,
fight sickness and disability fraud
and fight unemployment insurance fraud.
I'LL TELL YOU WHEN.
To reduce tax evasion
because, to tell you the truth, ladies and gentlemen,
this is a big demon we're fighting against.
It's what's preventing us from thriving as a country.
Mejía!
-Mejía! -It's very interesting
what you're proposing, Mr. Mejía,
because you're under investigation for corruption, too.
Bravo!
In any case, nothing's been proven nor was I convicted.
But it's not a secret to any of us
that several of your partners are under more than 254 investigations,
all of those are active.
Well, I know some people who have been blamed without proof,
as it happened to me, and I trust their honorability.
But...
First of all, you're not asking any questions,
but instead actually making unfounded accusations,
-sir. -Don't fight.
Listen to him, then answer his question.
My question is:
if your partners are found to be guilty,
what steps would you take as president?
I can't really answer a hypothetical question.
Don't evade it.
Well, if you let me talk...
Guillermo, can you hear me?
...I can finish answering.
Guillermo, can you hear me?
Liar!
Go and call the technicians.
Guillermo...
-Guillermo, can you hear me? -Really, this seems
like a personal attack.
-Where were you? -Solving things.
How are we doing?
Mejía is in trouble. Analía's microphone seems to be damaged.
Good afternoon, candidates.
The UN says that in my country, 52% of the land is in the hands
of 1.5% of the population.
It's time to corner him, Ramiro.
There are 5.5 million acres with agricultural potential.
And to combat the owners of unproductive latifundia,
like, for example, you, Mr. Mejía.
Realize that, today, we have 5.5 million acres
of wasted agricultural potential.
Hello...
Please, how is it possible
that my headset is damaged right now?
Why am I the only one with this issue?
...because we're only using 17.3 million acres.
Are you involved in this?
With the 17.3 million acres that we've used in the country?
With Analía's damaged microphone.
Wow, 17.3 million, huh?
Only 17.3 million are being used.
...incentives to invest in the countryside.
And a lot of liquidity.
Let's figure out how to solve this. It can't be possible.
-We're in a live show... -Mr. Perez.
Sorry, Mr. Mejía. And a lot of liquidity, because there are products...
What's going on here? I haven't answered yet.
Respect the order, please.
Mr. Perez hasn't finished yet.
In my government,
I'll promote economic development for everyone
who invests in the countryside.
We'll give them an income tax exemption
for the next ten years.
-That's not feasible. -Of course it is, Mr. Mejía.
I invite you to research the topic.
They can generate a dynamic economy, with such incentives.
That's right.
In my government,
I'll fight corrupt people.
And trust me, Mr. Mejía,
if that corruption is found in my party,
I'll eradicate it without hesitation!
Perez!
Let's take a short break
and we'll be back in a few minutes.
-Thanks. -See you soon.
The man made me a copy, but I have no idea what this key is for.
So?
Gancho has worked on high-security lock cylinders,
maybe he can give us some information.
-Where do we go? -To La Herradura.
Let's go.
What happened to the microphone?
And where's Analía?
She just went to see what the problem is
because it seemed like you weren't listening to her.
The intercom is already working.
-Okay. Did the others have issues too? -No, they didn't.
Okay.
Please, make sure everything's working
before we continue the debate, okay?
-Okay, perfect. Excuse me. -Thank you.
I FOUND A KEY IN THE TOAD'S POND.
I'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT IT'S FOR.
Hey.
Look, if you're here to complain that I'm here with Guillermo...
Look.
I only know one other person...
Well, I only knew one other person who knew how to make these.
Ana Lucía, my childhood friend.
Who?
Ana Lucía.
Do you remember that my dad started hallucinating
and treating me like I was a 12 year old?
And he remembered Ana Lucía.
Yes.
But what do you mean by that?
This made me think of something stupid.
Something out of context.
Well, Ana Lucía is dead.
And obviously, you have nothing to do with it.
I won't complain to you
because you came with Guillermo. On the contrary, thank you.
Because it's clear to me that you care more about power than love.
-That's not true. -Then why are you still with him?
What do you want me to think?
You have no ethics.
-What are you talking about? -Exactly that.
You want to take a corrupt guy to the presidency, you just don't care.
And the trap you set up for Mark using Rosario.
Please, Rosario isn't a holy dove either.
And you judge me,
but I'm sure you guys damaged the microphone.
-I know Mark. -He says the same thing about you.
That you use people and play dirty in order to win.
-You're offending me. -I'm not offending you,
-I'm telling the truth. -Are you?
I'm not like him at all.
But you're like Guillermo.
-Don't say that again. -You're just as ambitious.
No. Don't say that again.
Why?
Why can't you just quit?
You know that guy is corrupt,
a hypocrite, a liar, even if it hasn't been proven.
Be honest with me, Analía, please.
It's evident that you...
can't be straightforward with me...
and that I don't know you.
I can be straightforward with you.
-I will be, actually. -Then, tell me, what's wrong?
The first thing is that I'm not like Mejía at all.
Do you know how much I love you?
You have no idea because you'd know
that you can tell me anything and I won't stop loving you.
Look, I...
I'll tell you something right now because we don't have much time.
The truth is...
A meeting of opponents and I wasn't invited?
No.
I was telling Mr. De la Torre that his team must pay
for the lies they said about ours.
I don't think we should go that far.
It's not necessary, really. I think there's little difference.
You don't? But I do.
Also, I'm sure your team was responsible for damaging our microphone.
Pure assumptions, like those of Mr. Salinas
with the topic of infiltrators.
We'll see what the engineering teams say
-when they're done investigating. -Okay.
Look, Santiago,
I think we can get into lawsuits and counterclaims,
but it's bland, it's stupid. We can do it...
-What happened? -...but it wouldn't be good
for either campaign.
I know it sounds silly, but it's just...
He told me that I wasn't being honest with him.
I don't want him to think that about me.
I don't want him to think badly of me.
I'll lose him.
How do you think he'll react if you tell him the truth?
I don't know.
I can't think about it right now.
For now, you have to calm down.
I couldn't believe how anxious Mejía was.
That's why we have to capitalize on that. Trust me.
The best thing we can do is release that video.
-That's not necessary. -I have everything under control.
It's not necessary, Mark.
It can turn out just like Rosario's.
That strategy didn't work.
But with this, neither Mejía's team nor him will expect it.
-Guillermo's an experienced man. -It doesn't matter.
Do you think a few statements will sink him? On the contrary, Mark.
-It doesn't matter. -It does matter!
It doesn't matter, people will get the image
of him saying discriminatory words about these people.
-You don't know... -And they'll take away...
You do anything to convince people...
-We'll unmask him. -It doesn't matter.
No more, please! Silence.
Calm down, both of you.
I want you two focused on the debate, okay?
And no more about the video.
Let it be clear.
Excuse me.
The LGBTI community will ask some questions.
You have to be ready because a few years ago
you made some statements against them,
and they'll probably throw that in your face.
If I said something, it was a long time ago,
and I prefer to avoid that subject.
You won't be able to avoid it.
So, if they ask a question like
"What do you think about same sex marriage..."
Memo is a right-wing candidate
and, obviously, he'll say he disagrees.
Yes, plus there's my sister's issue.
It has nothing to do with this. Go ahead.
Please, continue.
Equal marriage has been legalized.
So your answer should be that you agree to the law.
Not with compulsory marriage, I mean, equal.
Exactly.
So that you don't betray right-wing voters
and don't lose potential voters from the LGBTI community.
-Okay. Have you tried this yet? -Yes, it's working.
Okay, I want constant communication.
-Exactly. -Ready? Okay, bye.
We're about to start. Please, take your seats.
Guillermo, can you hear me?
Okay, we're connected.
-Does it work well? -Yes.
Okay.
Good afternoon.
This just got good, man.
Those politicians speak out of their asses.
But we have to vote for the least of the evils, right?
No, man, I won't waste my time going to vote.
Toto, I don't understand.
Didn't you show up one day campaigning for this Mejía?
Yes, but I have my own interests.
Hey, what's up?
-Gancho! -How's it going?
-How's it going? What's up? -Good.
Hey, do you have the key?
Look.
What about the dough?
First tell me if you know what it is.
Yes, I know, but give me the cash first.
Gancho, you untrusting prick.
-It's a job. -"Job."
My man.
Look, this is a digital lock mechanical key.
How can it be a digital lock mechanical key?
If it's digital, you don't need a key, right?
-You need a code, a fingerprint... -I'll explain.
Every digital lock needs a key in case the reader's battery runs out.
And this is one of those keys.
Now you know, right? If you need me, call me.
That's why I'm here, to work hard.
-See you. -Bye. Say hello to everyone.
Okay.
Gancho.
Hey, boss, what's Santiago hiding?
The question is where, because I didn't see any of those digital locks
in his apartment.
We'll continue with the next question.
Good afternoon, candidates.
What level of inclusion and importance
does the LGBTI community have within your government program?
Thank you very much.
Let's start with you, sir.
Listen to me. Either we do something
or Mejía will win the debate by lying.
-Mark... -Is that what you want?
Give Ramiro a chance. Don't you don't trust him?
I trust him, but I don't trust Mejía.
Really.
Either do something or... We won't get anywhere by telling the truth.
Calm down, Mark, please.
Ramiro.
How are we doing?
Good. We're scoring in the telephone surveys
despite the corruption case.
You look nervous.
No, I'm not. It's just that I get like this in these situations.
I'm fine.
This is where we should make our move.
Mark, we've already agreed on something. Let him finish. Please.
I don't make any distinction between straight people and the LGBTI community.
Very good, sir.
Mr. Mejía, your answer.
I do see a difference.
I think the LGBTIQ+ community,
which is the correct name,
for the information for those present,
has been a very battered minority
that needs much more attention,
and, therefore, it will be highly relevant in my government.
Let's make him swallow his lie right now, please.
-Mejía! -Look, I've always been an advocate
of all human beings' rights,
regardless of race or sexual orientation.
Don't think twice and let's take the opportunity
to sink him in front of everyone.
-Mark, stop. You'll distract him. -Please.
-Please, you. -Pablo, I'm the politician.
Respect my job.
So, you agree
with equal marriage, Mr. Mejía?
Remember the law.
I'm a law abiding man,
therefore I support what was sanctioned in this regard
and no president can change that.
I know people
who have been blamed, as it happened to me...
SHOW THE VIDEO.
-...and I believe in their honorability. -Mejía!
The only thing you care about is that they don't find out
that your daughter is a lesbian!
Right.
Because no daughter of mine will be abnormal.
You're a son of a bitch.
You've always been one.
But my days of putting up with you are numbered.
It seems you forgot that I know about all your faults.
The next time you threaten me
with screwing up the elections,
just remember...
that I'm capable of doing anything
in order to reach the presidency.
Mr. Mejía.
I have very strong evidence here
that will prove that you're a hypocrite,
a liar.
Let's talk respectfully, please.
We'll respect the presidential candidates.
Defend him, ask them to let him speak.
Don't look afraid of the confrontation.
Lorena, please.
I'm interested to know
why that young man addresses me in such a disconcerting way.
Here it is.
Senator Mejía, what do you think about the law
that Senator Prieto presented before Congress
for the legalization of gay marriage?
It's outrageous.
God created man and woman
to unite them in the holy sacrament.
Everything else are aberrations.
Thank you very much, senator.
Thank you very much.
Recognize that you knew they were going to hold it against you.
But you're here today regardless. You said that years ago,
and you have changed your mind.
I...
I'm no longer the same person who made those...
unfortunate statements because...
the value of a human being
is their mind
and the change that it can generate.
So, do you agree with same-sex marriage?
I already said so.
The law is clear and I respect it.
But you haven't answered the question.
-Answer! -Right?
Do you agree with same-sex marriage?
Can homosexuals adopt and have a normal family?
Say "yes." You can't maintain
a neutral position on this matter anymore.
I believe in inclusion,
and in a country in which social equity makes us
a much stronger country.
In other words, two people of the same sex
falling in love is an aberration to you?
Answer! Yes or no?
Right, guys?
No. Say it isn't, Guillermo. Say it isn't!
I'm so naive.
I thought this lunch was for you to tell me that you had reflected on things,
not to reaffirm your aberration.
Do you think you have the right to call me out like that
just because I like women?
Keep your voice down.
We could've discussed this at home.
The only thing you care about is that they don't find out
that your daughter is a lesbian!
Exactly.
I'm sure...
you'll have to eat all the shit you've said to me.
Answer! Don't be a hypocrite!
Answer, yes.
Guillermo, speak.
Say it isn't.
What's wrong? Why's he acting like that?
I don't know.
Guillermo, speak.
Speak up, make yourself heard. Please, don't be quiet.
Maybe he doesn't know how to answer, do you know why?
Because he's a liar!
He's a liar! That's what he is!
A liar!
Please, sir, calm down!
Everyone, please, have some respect.
Calmly, please,
and let Mr. Mejía answer.
-Well... -Focus on your commitment
to include the LGBTI community in your government.
Focus on that, please.
For me, the LGBTIQ+ community
is very important from a socioeconomic...
point of view.
Talk about the job market.
When the job market turns its back
on members of this community,
we don't take advantage of the work that...
they can contribute toward the country's economy.
In other words, you think we're a pack of donkeys
and you don't see us as decent people, huh?
They don't see us as decent people!
No, of course you are. I know you're normal people.
I don't believe you. I don't believe him, guys.
Make yourself heard.
Better shut up, Mr. Mejía! You're a liar.
Guys, he's a liar!
He's a liar!
Trickster, get out of here!
Is it over? It is.
Get him out of there, get him out. We'll get you out of there.
Don't treat us like idiots!
Get out! Get out!
Get out, you liar!
It's true, guys!
Come on! He's a liar!
Get out!
Analía!
Tell your candidate it's been a great debate.
This has your signature, Mark.
-I don't know what you're talking about. -My God.
Do you know that I agree with Isabella?
This reminds me of that time you brought up the case of domestic violence
to one of the candidates in Mexico.
-Marquez. -I love going down memory lane.
And I also remember that you once told me
that a candidates' mistake lies in their past.
You should be proud that I learned it from the best.
Yes, it's true, that's me.
That's why this victory won't last long.
Enjoy it.
-Enjoy. -My little pain in the neck...
Where the hell did that video come from?
Calm down or you'll have a heart attack
and it could be very serious.
Get out.
Don't talk to her like that. What happened was because of something you said,
-so, face it. -Hey, you too, beat it!
Mom!
Idiot.
I still can't understand how someone like you,
whose been at this all his life, can't think straight
on a subject we knew was going to be controversial.
Is there something you aren't telling me?
Guillermo, is something wrong?
-Yes. -What is it?
Pablo and Perez beat us,
and you were as surprised as I was with what they did.
No, I was surprised by your reaction, or the absence of it.
You knew what the statements were going to be,
I told you how to deal with them.
Anyway, we're not here to point fingers.
We have to... turn this thing around.
Yes, but how?
That's my job.
Meanwhile, you guys rest. Especially you.
I need you lucid tomorrow, relaxed.
To do what, exactly?
I'll work all night with my team.
You'll come out of this stronger.
Have I failed you before?
Today, for example?
Don't be unfair, man.
She's been there to help my dad with every problem that has come his way.
I'll notify you when everything is ready.
What about you, bobblehead?
This victory must be celebrated.
Yes, sir.
To our path to the presidency.
Of course.
Pablo, I know you disagree with what we did,
because you come from a high-level position in government,
but politics is a very different game. Trust me.
Being a politician is not the same as playing a political game.
I don't know what you mean.
Look,
there's a new generation of organized youth
who want to be part of more advances in the demand for social justice
and gender equality. We can't fall into simply being political.
Don't be like Guillermo, who doesn't show the slightest respect
for the historical and social meaning of equality
and what it means in politics.
Okay.
So, what do you propose?
Go deeper into your government program, Ramiro.
Mainly on the subject of youth and inclusion.
-They are already with us. -I'm not sure, Mark.
Mejía... Yes, he lost today.
Today.
But he won't stand still, and neither will his adviser.
She has already threatened to hit back.
-Let her do it. -I wouldn't be so confident.
-Didn't you tell me she's the best? -Yes.
-Okay. -She's very good.
But remember something, Pablo.
Everything that Analía learned...
I taught her. And not only in politics.
Cheers, gentlemen. We won today.
I checked on what happened.
I feel that Mejía and his family are hiding something.
You felt it, didn't you?
You're right. I had the same feeling.
But hiding something like what?
Something about Alejandra?
Sofia mentioned it when we touched on the LGBTI issue and Mejía cut her off.
Tell me, what do you know about her?
Very little. She's been living in Spain for the last three years,
she barely calls her family and she's an artist, but nothing else.
-Maybe Alejandra is... -A lesbian?
Well, that would explain Mejía's reaction, right?
Well, for him, it's a personal matter.
Surely that's why they don't allow it to be mentioned in the family
and why she hasn't come to Colombia in a long time.
Well, it's possible.
But we have to move forward with certainty.
We have to find out exactly what happened to her.
If things are as we think,
the strategy would be to get Alejandra back here.
Ironically, the person who rejects Mejía,
would be the salvation for this disaster.
We thought that after what happened today,
the last thing you'd want to do was have a family dinner.
I was thinking, it'd be nice to get the anti-abuse campaign out soon,
since Pablo's issue is so out there, right?
It was out there.
After today, the scandal that your dad was in
will make everyone forgot about Pablo's.
Not to mention your sister.
On the way home, I remembered an Arabic tale
that I read a long time ago.
And it's about a sultan who had a wife
and every day she thought of a way
to cut off her husband's head
without raising suspicion that she had done it.
And what happened?
The woman asked the jester to do it in exchange for some land.
The jester accepted,
but he betrayed the woman and went to tell the sultan
about his wife's macabre decision.
The sultan decided
to cut off the head...
of the jester.
As punishment for his wife.
To make the wife think the jester's death had been her fault.
Exactly, honey.
-Did he also kill his wife? -No, he didn't.
That would've been liberating for her.
The wife had to live...
forever...
next to the sultan,
locked in his castle.
Why are you telling that story?
No reason in particular, but the moral is that...
you can't cut off the head of those who protect you
and feed you.
Excuse me...
I'll leave you with that.
Little sister, you're very lucky
to marry a guy like Guillermo.
We won the lottery.
We have no doubt that he'll go very far.
I'm sure he will. Also, I'll help him
to accomplish all his goals and together we'll be invincible.
We have no doubt about it, little sister. With your support...
-Look... -It's amazing. He went all out.
He went all out. Really.
Santiago, there's no solution. I can't stand my husband anymore.
Rosario, don't say that.
You know...
that Memo will need you by his side when you arrive at the Presidential House.
I mean, you guys have worked together so hard for this.
That's what matters, all this is also for you.
The most important thing are my children, and he's wrong on this.
I hope you don't make mistakes and get distracted.
The candidate of the Union and Renewal party, Ramiro Perez,
climbs to the top of the polls.
While the candidate of the Democratic Force Party,
Guillermo Mejía, goes down to second place.
NATIONAL POLLS
Magda Meneses, from the National Salvation Party,
and Osman Diaz,
from the Vertical Road Party, remain in third and fourth place, respectively.
It's presumed that the descent of Guillermo Mejía
has to do with the controversial video
that came out during the Young People's Debate,
where the candidate speaks negatively about the LGBTI community.
Hello.
I'm on my way to the office, are you already there?
No, I'll come later. I have to do something
to put together the strategy. Don't give any statement
to the press, please, until I tell you
-what we're going to do. -Okay.
...and Osman Diaz, from the Vertical Road Party, remains...
Mr. Mejía, the country thinks you're homophobic, what do you think?
Mr. Mejía, are you in favor of the referendum
so that gays can adopt?
-Mr. Mejía... -Mr. Mejía, answer.
Mr. Mejía, the country deserves an answer.
It'd be nice if you answered something.
Good morning, everyone.
Mr. Mejía is not yet going to give statements on the subject.
I'll let you know when he wants to give them. Good day.
Good, little sister, keep doing dad's dirty work
so that he won't even thank you.
Dad isn't doing well and we have to help him.
You do realize that he shot himself in the foot, don't you?
Or don't you remember how he treated my sister Ale?
Last night I talked to the external auditor,
and he told me that the company is spending too much on supplies
and it's affecting its profit margins.
That's serious, David. That's very serious.
BE CAREFUL WITH THE AUDITOR OF YOUR COMPANY.
What happened?
So, it's true that the message was real.
-I don't know. -Padrón is lying to us.
-I don't know. -We have to do something now.
Yes, I know, but did you find out who sent you the message?
I don't know, I don't know. I guess it's someone we know.
Yes, but why aren't they being up-front?
My God.
Neither the arepita nor the juice, zero. Eat, it's delicious.
I'm not hungry.
You're still thinking about the debate. Turn the page.
No...
It's about Pablo.
I almost told him the truth yesterday.
What? Froggy! Really?
Yes, but I couldn't. We were interrupted.
It doesn't matter. Call him.
-Go wherever he is. Call him now. -No...
-The moment's gone. -Tell him, don't even think about it.
It's over.
-The moment's gone, Froggy? -It's not that easy.
Besides, right now, I have to focus
on solving the disaster with the debate.
-See you later. -Ana Lucía!
Why did you call me that? Don't.
To remind you who you are.
You've forgotten that, haven't you?
Abandon that anger in your life. The hatred you feel for Mejía
won't allow you to live in peace.
Sometimes, I feel like you're a woman I don't even know.
-I'm still the same person. -It doesn't look that way.
You don't have to worry about me.
According to social media,
Mejía fluctuated in public opinion throughout the debate,
and crashed and burned with what would be
his last answer.
Senator Mejía, what do you think about the law that Senator Prieto
proposed before Congress for the legalization of gay marriage?
It's outrageous.
God created man and woman to unite them in the holy sacrament.
Everything else are aberrations.
-Thank you very much, Senator. -Thank you very much.
Do you think bringing up Mr. Mejía's statements
during his time as senator,
was, perhaps, an attack by his detractors?
They say that in war and in politics, everything goes.
The truth is that the damage is done.
The presidential candidate of the Democratic Force Party
failed to respond to the change of opinion about the LGBTI community.
And that was perceived by the public as dishonest.
-Sure. -What's worse,
candidate Mejía finished off by saying
that he already sees people with different sexual inclinations as normal people.
A disastrous answer, evidently.
I asked you if you had any problems regarding this topic.
Analía reminded you that you had made similar statements before.
When I was asked those questions,
everyone in politics thought that way.
It was a trivial interview at the time.
What you think was insignificant is what got us knocked out of the top position.
It was a dirty move by your ex-husband, wasn't it?
He and his team are behind all this, I'm sure.
It was your mistake.
Really?
Do you really think gays are abnormal people?
No, I don't.
I don't think that.
One has the right to change their mind, right?
I was trying. That's what I was doing.
I wanted to explain myself to the audience... It wasn't possible.
If you've changed, own up to your mistake.
-Let's rebuild the path. -Well,
that's why we're waiting for Analía.
I'll be in my office.
Nobody disturb me.
ANALÍA GUERRERO - CAMPAIGN MANAGER
"Analía Guerrero
and the governor on duty in Mexico City."
-Come in. -Pablo,
-did you call for me? -Yes, Mark. Please, sit down.
Tell me everything, what's it about?
Look, Mark, I understand that we've had some friction, right?
But I also understand that we're on the same team
and it's important to get along well.
Do you agree?
I really like that you take into account
and keep in mind what you just said.
It's important.
As you said, we're a team.
You shouldn't take things personally. Sometimes, discussions and debates,
in this career, and in any career,
are necessary.
-That's right. -But I really appreciate
-your nice gesture. -I thank you, Mark.
-I thank you. -Okay.
-Hey, I want to ask you a question. -Shoot.
You told me that Analía has learned a lot from you, right?
And she, in an arrogant way,
replied by saying that she agreed with you
and she also threatened to defeat us.
I really want to know who we're dealing with, Mark.
What is she capable of in order to defeat us?
She's capable of anything,
just so you know.
