A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mommy!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
You're digging your own grave.
You're maybe creating the worst enemy of your political life.
You're the one who's going down.
At least, politically speaking.
Don't threaten me, I'm not afraid of you.
You have no power over me.
I think you're wrong.
I know a few tricks
to make the public forget about these ridiculous accusations
against the candidate for children, youth, and women.
Really?
Do you really think you'll get away with it?
And that you'll avoid everything that's coming your way, Guillermo?
I want you to go down.
I want you to pay for everything you've done,
and I hope the authorities and the people make an example out of you,
of what should never again happen in this country.
Liliana, you can't leave me,
because if you do, your career ends here, and everywhere.
Liliana!
You can't leave!
You have a commitment to me and to the whole country!
The country wakes up to a new scandal
only a few weeks away from the presidential election.
Our reporters and some from other stations are in front of Mejía's headquarters.
We couldn't enter,
but a person from his team came out to ask for patience
and said that Mejía will come out to make a statement.
Reactions across the country were swift, and people went to social networks
to remember famous world movements against sexual and emotional abuse.
Whoa! Yeah! We did it, Froggy.
That guy is down on the ground and he won't get up.
His popularity has crashed and burned. People are very angry and outraged.
But there's confusion.
There are many people who still support and defend him.
If the Engineer had turned himself in,
that wretched bastard would be in so deep.
Come on, we still hit him hard. That man is screwed.
We have to be careful
because this is a legal matter now and anything can happen.
Sure, but remember that the whole country and the press
-will go after Guillermo. -Right.
It'll be difficult for him to find someone to help him.
And we haven't shown them Fabiola and Santiago's statements yet.
Well, at least he's getting one hit after another, right?
Okay, but when are they going to put him in jail?
I hope they don't grant him a house arrest because he's got quite a big house.
As soon as the investigation starts, it's very possible
that they can prosecute him for illegal contracting,
influence peddling, embezzlement,
plus the sexual abuse allegations.
However, you should know
that there are neither life sentences nor consecutive sentences in Colombia.
No, what's that mean?
He'll be convicted for his most serious crime,
but still, the sentence worsens if they find him guilty of other crimes.
Planning the bombing is the most serious crime.
Yes, but what Dorita has isn't enough.
We need that rat, the Engineer, to turn himself in
so they can link him to Mejía,
but we all know that killer won't do that.
We have to go with what we have, then.
It's also important that the District Attorney's office
issues an order, okay?
Held in custody without bail. Otherwise, that guy will flee.
Miss Liliana, why are you quitting?
Because of the sex abuse scandal?
If so, do you believe the women who came forward?
Our goals and interests are absolutely different.
That's pretty clear.
I know that this can cost me my political career,
but my principles, my values, and my dignity are more important.
That's all I'll say at this time. Thank you.
-Miss Liliana... -No, come on, this is...
Of course I deny all those lies about me.
Yes, I...
Come in.
They're not only disrespecting me,
but also my family, our voters, and my party.
Thank you very much.
What part of "I don't want to receive calls"
don't you understand?
-Sir, it's... -Have you called my daughter?
-Yes, sir. -I want her here right now.
-Did you call her? -Yes, sir.
Then, move.
Move, dummy. Move that big ass of yours.
Liliana has just resigned
because she believes everything they say about you.
And you allowed her to do that?
You just let her do what she wants?
You know I don't like to force anyone.
-Besides, she... -Okay.
That's good, I like it. Let her go.
We don't need her. Very good.
I think that's great.
Guillermo, you don't understand.
It's a very hard blow for us if your running mate
resigns and withdraws her support.
What should we do?
Do we cry, or act accordingly?
What do you mean "act accordingly"?
Mariano, come on.
Well, we have to turn things around,
including the departure of that...
Liliana.
We'll say that it was due to medical reasons.
-Right? -You're really not getting it!
Guillermo, I'm here because the party is asking for your resignation.
We can't expose ourselves to public scorn because of your crimes.
No, wait a second...
Mariano, take it down a notch.
Take it down a notch.
I don't think you understand what's really going on.
All of this has been orchestrated by that asshole Pablo de la Torre
assisted by Analía Guerrero. They want to destroy me.
They want to destroy me, and they're using whatever they can to do so,
but I won't give up the presidency. I was born for this.
Here I am, and here I'll stay.
If you don't quit, you'll be fired anyway.
You'll be expelled from the party.
No, I don't think so.
No, I don't believe that
because there are only a handful of imbeciles like you
who would dare to go against me.
Only a handful.
Many people in the party owe me favors.
Okay?
We'll see about that.
Why don't we find out right now, Mariano?
This is unprecedented.
The vice-presidential candidate for the Democratic Force Party,
Miss Liliana Camargo, has just confirmed her resignation.
Given the latest events surrounding Mr. Mejía's life,
I present my irrevocable resignation as his running mate
for the Democratic Force Party.
We asked our policy experts in the studio
what's next and what consequences are coming Mr. Mejía's way
after the decision made by his former running mate.
The legal situation created by the scandal that's surrounding
the presidential candidate Guillermo León Mejía
has no precedent in our country.
I think this is just the beginning of more serious things.
There are rumors circulating in social networks
about other crimes committed by Mr. Guillermo León Mejía,
and the departure of Ms. Camargo doesn't make him look good
in front of a society that's no longer falling for his act.
Hello. Finally, you...
It's nice to see you all.
-Did you come here to execute me? -Shut up, you fucking egomaniac!
Have you no limits?
Piece of shit.
We already know that you planned the bombing that killed Mom.
Honey, but you saw all those horrible messages
that I've been receiving.
It was all a setup
by Analía and Pablo to...
They're lying.
It's true, and I didn't come to argue with you.
I came to tell you that I don't ever want to see you again,
and that I hope you rot in jail
for everything you did to my mom, all those women,
and who knows how many more people.
Why are you talking to me like that? Can't you see those are lies, all of it?
Stop pretending! Don't be a clown!
My sisters and I already know the whole truth.
We know that Analía is our sister. We know what you did to her mom.
You're a miserable, degenerate, sick man.
Have could you sink so low?
You're really a piece of shit.
And you're a resentful woman
who has brainwashed them both.
-You've always hated me. -I don't give a damn
what you think of me, sir. You know what?
Forget about your family, because you never had one!
Forget about us. Don't call us again.
-Why did you come here, then? -Don't contact us ever again.
Get out of here, get out of my life if you want, honey.
-You're the only one who's supported me. -Shut up! Shut up!
I'm not going to shut up, why should I...
Shut up! Shut up! You make me sick!
Do you know why I won't shut up? Because I'm in my office.
Get the hell out. You want to leave me?
-Get out of here! -Yes, we're leaving!
-Get out of here! -We're out of here.
-You're not my children. -We're leaving...
-Shut up! -Your mom was a whore
-that slept with everyone. -You deserve to rot in jail.
Rot in jail.
She slept who knows with how many men!
-You're not my children! -Let me go!
-Piece of shit! -Get out of here!
Get out! Get out!
-You know what? -What? What do you want, fool?
What do you want? Tell me.
You know what, Mejía?
Ana Lucía has beaten you, you fool.
I don't need children.
Good.
Voicemail system.
Your call will be charged as of this moment.
Where the hell are you? Call me back!
I want her to die as she lived, violently.
Because there is no worse pain than...
feeling ashamed of yourself.
Look at you.
Weren't you a mute?
And yet you gave quite a speech.
And you smiled. I've never seen your smile.
I just wanted to thank you
because you helped me with Otoniel the other day.
It was nothing.
I don't tolerate violence against women.
Some of us are just "lucky" in life, and had to learn to roll with the punches.
Do you like pork shanks?
Yes, look, your eyes lit up. They're delicious, right?
In my neighborhood, there's a place famous for them.
Cheers.
I'll be Mejía's new personal assistant.
Say no to sexual abuse!
-Get out, Mejía! -We want justice!
-No more unpunished rape!
Get out, Mejía! Get out, Mejía!
Go to jail, rapist! Go to jail, rapist!
Go to jail, rapist!
Go to jail, rapist! Rapist!
Get out, Mejía!
I can't believe how far we've come.
Right?
There's a lot of solidarity, really.
Now,
I agree with Fabiola.
I'm still worried about Guillermo's situation.
Who says he won't try to flee?
Or that he'll turn himself in?
I have to confront him.
-That way, I prevent... -No, Analía.
-Yes, I should. -Listen to me.
We made an agreement, didn't we?
You were going to leave this to the police. That was the plan.
Do you know what?
I'm very proud of you.
You should feel proud of yourself too.
Stop, take a breath, look back, and realize what you've accomplished.
That's very important.
Okay?
He's right.
Isa would also be very proud of you.
And I am too.
Besides, you're getting something much more important than revenge.
-Justice? -Justice.
Justice for your mother...
and for all those people who couldn't defend themselves.
And I'm sorry, guys, okay?
I know you're allies of justice and all, but this woman deserves a kiss.
Wow!
Wow, look at that!
Come on, don't do that here.
-Get a room, you two. -Right?
-Don't do that here! -Okay.
-Back to work. -What?
-On with the plan. -Dorita, stop. Focus.
Look, she's embarrassed.
-Do you want a kiss too, Dorita? -Yes!
Okay, focus.
Why do you have those testimonies, Miss Guerrero?
Because after realizing
that presidential candidate Guillermo León Mejía is a sociopath,
I decided to quit his campaign and focus on getting the evidence
to put him in jail. And it's true.
Yes, I had to lie.
I had to give those statements against Pablo de la Torre
to save my life,
and be able to present the testimonies
of the women sexually abused by Guillermo Mejía.
This is really just the tip of the iceberg.
People can't even imagine
the atrocities that man has committed in our country.
I hope, for the well-being of Colombia,
that his political party takes away its support.
And I also hope that
candidates and citizens see, for the first time,
Guillermo Mejía's real face,
because what they've seen so far is a sham.
What do you think is going to happen, Miss Guerrero?
I really hope all his victims come forward,
have the courage to give their testimonies,
and denounce him. Because you're not alone.
Guillermo Mejía must be held to the highest standard
because he's a public servant.
The voters of this country, many of them,
placed not only their trust, but also their hope in him.
It's time for the Colombian justice system to punish him
without mercy, and with the highest penalties,
because that's the only way
to end corruption in this country.
We have some last-minute information
-from a woman who claims... -Where the hell have you been?
...and who also has evidence of this claim
against the former candidate of the Democratic Force party,
according to the District Attorney's office.
Lisette León is on the scene.
Mrs. Yamile Ortegón filed a lawsuit for aggravated rape.
In this case, there's a minor involved,
and Mrs. Ortegón says he's Guillermo León Mejía's son.
The road to the elections has heated up with...
Who will believe...
those stupid women?
They're nobodies.
They're garbage.
You have to be really pathetic to talk about women like that.
Any soldier...
no matter which side he's on,
has a limit that can't be exceeded,
and a belief he respects above anything else.
You never knew about my belief.
It's about my sister.
For her, I won't look the other way.
For her...
and for Dorita.
Yes.
I tricked you.
Just like you tricked everyone else...
but your mask comes off today.
You're garbage...
and the whole country knows it.
Well, if I fall, you'll fall with me!
Hey!
Especially, a nobody like you!
My God...
Just a few questions, please.
Mr. Castiblanco, were you planning to run away?
Thank you for being here. No, I wasn't planning to do that...
nor was I about to.
But I want to clarify to the public
that, indeed, I was hiding, but I did it to protect myself
from Mr. Guillermo Mejía,
who swore, on multiple occasions,
that he'd have me killed.
The truth will come out very soon.
Excuse me.
-Mr. Castiblanco, a question. -I have to go, thanks.
We have exclusive information.
Along with the violent rape and sexual harassment allegations,
Guillermo Mejía is also facing
allegations of bribery of public authorities.
The District Attorney's office possesses documents
proving he kept dual sets of books, showing the amounts paid to Mejía,
and those he paid to businesses and political figures.
Also, there's a video circulating in which Santiago Castiblanco
makes very serious accusations against Mr. Mejía.
I'm Santiago Castiblanco.
I was the right hand,
and have been involved in the public and political life,
of Mr. Guillermo León Mejía.
We don't just have political ties,
but also family ones, since I'm his brother-in-law.
I have also managed
all his illegal businesses.
Yet another testimony has been published against Guillermo Mejía,
who apparently can't stay out of scandals today,
like the one we'll hear about next.
Thanks to Mr. Guillermo Mejía,
I did jail time abroad.
Through a large business managed from Colombia,
he used to send me money,
and I used to pay large sums to the Ecuadorian authorities
so that, through a construction company,
we could carry out huge public works projects in that country.
In exchange for my help, he took care of my mother,
who was seriously ill in Colombia.
But today, Guillermo Mejía sent his chief of security, a hit man,
to kill my mom and me.
He took all the evidence I had against Mejía.
I'm recording this testimony in case something happens to me.
Tarazona, I need your services. Where can we meet?
-Sir. -Perfect, I'll be there.
-Sir... -Not now, Marmolejo. Leave me alone.
Marmolejo, the keys to the truck.
What the hell is this?
Mr. Mejía, you're under arrest
for accusations of sexual assault and embezzlement.
-Do you have a warrant? -Of course. Ramírez!
Sir, you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to a phone call.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you don't have one, one will be provided for you.
Do you understand your rights, Mr. Mejía?
Sir, come with us.
You're very naive if you think everything ends here,
that justice exists,
that they lived happily ever after.
I was able to build an empire out here!
I could do it again anywhere,
because I'm Guillermo León Mejía,
the fucking man!
You did it.
The justice you wanted for your mom is just beginning.
We did it.
The outcome would've been different without you.
A FEW DAYS LATER
I'll wait for you at the courthouse. Be there on time.
Okay, Froggy. So how did it go?
-What? -Good, very good.
I'll see you later. Thanks.
-Sure, you can count on me. -Bye!
Why are you making that dumb face?
Oh right, you've always been like that.
It's so cool to feel like a "Robin Hool."
Remember the guy from that movie when we sneaked into the cinema?
A long time ago, when we were in the...
Yes, a man who steals from the rich to give to the poor.
"Robin Hool."
-Your memory's so bad. -No. Yes.
Of course. That was something.
We'll move on with this evidentiary hearing
against Mr. Guillermo León Mejía,
for a conspiracy to commit crimes and murder.
The State calls Mr. Jairo Méndez to the stand,
Guillermo Mejía's former security chief,
who has come voluntarily to give his statement.
It's just a farce!
I don't think he came here voluntarily.
Please!
Mr. Mejía, I must ask you to control yourself
and be silent.
I'm calm, Judge, don't you see?
-This is just a farce. -Please.
You may continue, Counselor.
Mr. Méndez, your statement, please.
Froggy, he turned himself in. I didn't know he was going to do that.
My former boss,
Guillermo León Mejía, who's present here,
directly ordered me to manufacture and put the bombs at the Ténesi Club.
One of them aimed to destroy the place where the camera master
and the backup copies were placed.
The other one...
the most important bomb, was positioned to kill
the presidential candidate Ramiro Pérez
and his running mate, Pablo de la Torre,
with whom my former boss had had a conflict for several years.
Your Honor, I ask permission to provide evidence.
Go ahead, sir.
This is one of several recordings that Mr. Méndez made
when he worked for Mr. Guillermo Mejía,
in which Mr. Mejía gives him precise orders.
We present the evidence.
Do you think your brother-in-law is telling the truth, sir?
He's a coward who's going down.
That's not my voice.
He fears he might spend the rest of his life in prison.
That's not my voice.
Well...
It's not my voice at all!
Mr. Mejía, please, you were previously admonished by this Court.
When he tells me everything I need and I get everything he has,
we'll cut that loose end off.
Do you want me to kill your brother-in-law, sir?
Are you deaf, or did you become stupid?
I just want to confirm it, sir.
Yes, Engineer.
I want you to kill Santiago
when I give the order
because he gave Rosario the evidence,
and Rosario gave it to the journalist.
Tell the truth, you thug.
How much are they paying you?
-Mr. Mejía... -Tell the truth!
Mr. Mejía, if you don't behave, I'll have to remove you from this room.
That's what I want right now.
Get me out of this sewer infested with germs and parasites.
-Behave yourself, please. -Get me out of here!
Do it, or bring in a competent judge,
not an asshole like you.
Because you're useless!
So? Why don't you send me out?
Good afternoon.
In a few hours, we'll have a sentence in the trial of the year,
classified as such by public opinion.
It will be a sentence that will surely make history
in this country's politics.
Thank you very much. We'll keep you informed.
After the recess,
the 14th Criminal Court of the Bogotá circuit
will now pass sentence on Mr. Guillermo León Mejía
for aggravated homicide,
in accordance with the verdict
and the evidence presented
by the District Attorney.
According to the facts presented by the District Attorney,
on the 19th of the month in question, at 10 a.m.,
inside the Ténesi Club,
located in the city of Bogotá,
a bomb exploded that killed more than 30 people.
The District Attorney proved that this device was built
and activated by Mr. Jairo Méndez, as ordered by Mr. Guillermo Mejía,
in order to kill Mr. Pablo de la Torre,
and which ultimately took the lives of Mr. Ramiro Pérez,
and Guillermo Mejía's wife, Rosario Castiblanco, among others.
For that reason,
Mr. Guillermo León Mejía is sentenced
to the maximum term of 65 years in prison
without the right to parole.
Stand up, sir.
Stand up.
That's why this country is the way it is,
because of judges like you,
incompetent, easily bought.
Do you think this ends here?
I won't spend 65 years in jail, you sons of bitches!
-In jail... -Hey!
-Get back. Get back. -Guillermo, put the gun down, please.
-Don't get closer. Get back. -Guillermo!
Guillermo, put the gun down, please.
Why don't you make me? Come on.
Do it, you piece of shit!
Come on, take it from me!
-Dad, please! -Take it now!
Come on.
Make me put it down! It's got to be you!
Put it down for me!
Stop doing stupid things, Mejía.
-Dad... -Guillermo.
Oh, I'm "Dad" now?
I have no children!
When I needed you, you weren't there.
And I did everything for you.
-I did it all for my family! -Guillermo.
-Guillermo, don't do it. No more mistakes. -What? Come on, take it from me!
-Take it! -Put the gun down.
Come on, make me put it down!
Take it, come on.
Stop right there, you piece of shit!
Don't get any closer.
Get back.
Please, don't.
Dad...
Do it.
Please, do it.
Show us all that you're still the same coward that you've always been.
In the end, you always put yourself before everyone else,
even your own family.
Give me the satisfaction, okay?
Pull the trigger.
Come on.
Rid this world of your presence.
Nobody's going to cry for you. Nobody will remember you.
Do it.
That's what hurts you the most, right?
I know you so well, Guillermo.
Die without glory, just like you deserve.
-Do it! -Don't!
Honey...
Calm down, it's over.
It's over.
-Hello. -Hello.
I want a glass of water, please.
Do you want something?
No, I'm fine.
-Shall we have a drink? -Yes.
What do you want?
So, cousin,
-are you leaving the country? -Yes.
Yes, I'm going back to Madrid.
But this time, in good company.
It makes us all very happy.
You're always welcome over there.
We'll be waiting for you in Madrid.
-Thank you very much. -Thank you.
What are you going to do, Sofi?
I'll try to get my life together here.
We have some projects.
"Benji!"
As Isa would say if she was here.
-I'm very happy, really. -Juan.
Thank you.
-Won't you change your mind? -No, I won't.
Don't worry, I'll be here.
I'll be looking after him.
Thank you.
Mezcal?
-Mezcal. -Mezcal, please, for everyone.
Okay.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE NATION
This way.
-Excuse me. -Nice to meet you.
Benavídez.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Okay.
How can I help you?
I'm here because I want to confess my involvement
in the embezzlement scheme in the De la Torre construction company.
I was in on it with Guillermo León Mejía and Santiago Castiblanco.
We created a shell company to illegally extract
building materials from the De la Torre construction company.
Mr. Jorge Mario Mejía comes to negotiate his sentence
in exchange for information.
Okay, here's what we'll do. Put all that in writing.
Of course.
What's up?
"Dorita,
'Sorry' is the first word that comes to my mind.
I want to apologize to you
and to all the people I hurt so much.
I followed a bad leader and I wasn't strong enough to leave him.
I know that I was complicit in many of the horrors
that Guillermo Mejía committed.
However,
I want to you to know
that I never crossed the line with a woman.
I'd never do it.
But it doesn't erase the other things I did do,
and I know that it's not possible to justify it at all.
I wish you the best,
and I ask you not to hate me.
In the end, I tried to do the right thing.
Hopefully that will count for something in the next life.
If that exists.
If it doesn't,
my greatest reward would be that you pray for me,
pray for my soul.
Don't feel sad about me, please.
I don't deserve a single one of your tears.
-On the contrary. -The door!
Live the best life you can.
Keep being the beautiful and special person that you are.
Don't let the world change you.
Be happy.
When I think about you doing that,
I feel a little bit of peace."
-Come on. -Dad, I beat you!
I beat you, Dad! Admit it!
You're such a bad loser.
A bad loser? Shut up, kid.
-What's up? How did it go? -Hi.
-Great, Mom. -Really?
-How's my prince? -Very good.
Why are you crying?
Sometimes we cry with joy.
Isn't that right, my boy?
I see that you're okay...
I see that Yefer's happy...
How about you?
Well, I'm fine, too.
As a family, right?
Are we going to eat chicken?
I'm hungry.
-Let's go. -Okay. Let's eat chicken.
-Tell Colocho. -Colocho!
-I'm coming!
-Come on. -Take care of everything, okay?
Keep an eye on the store. We're going for a walk.
-Where are you going? -We're going to have chicken.
We'll be back soon. We'll bring you chili sauce.
Chili sauce for Colocho.
Relax, I'll bring you a nice backbone, okay?
-He likes those. -Don't eat the wings.
Go. Come on, my boy.
I want the wings.
-You always eat them. -Don't eat the wings.
Many times, I thought I wasn't going to be able
to get what I wanted.
Guillermo Mejía is your dad.
You're that man's daughter.
It's all here.
My hatred blinded me.
I want him dead.
-Don't. -Let me go.
No!
Analía, you can hate me. You can be furious with me,
you can even feel betrayed because I hid the truth from you,
-but I didn't raise you to be like this. -You have no idea.
None of you have any idea of what I'm feeling.
We're with you unconditionally.
We're here.
That means that we're here to prevent you from falling apart...
and from making mistakes, honey.
But on that tortuous path of revenge,
I understood several things.
That love is the most important thing.
Self-love.
That's the only thing that can set us free.
Because you're my family.
We know that.
I've also lived in confinement for many years,
just like the person who really should've been my protector.
What part of "You can't come in here" didn't you understand?
Memo, don't talk to her like that.
Okay. Calm down.
Say something.
-I'm sorry, I... -Don't say "I'm sorry."
I'm the only one who can help you achieve your goals.
I don't want you here.
A father.
Thief!
But it doesn't matter.
He's being rejected by an entire country
as his family forgets about him.
Justice has been done.
Rat!
I did it.
I kept my promise.
Now, I'll make you another promise.
I'll live the best life that I can.
I'll be happy.
And I'll remember you every day with love and gratitude.
I love you.
THE END
