[tropical music]
Man: I am Tonatiuh Prez 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 f*cking 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?
Joaqun, 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 f*ck'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 Ordoez.
[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 Surez
and Tonatiuh Prez Prieto.
The brilliant candidate
for the PTTthat 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 m*therf*cker!
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 Prez 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 f*ck no?
Have you seen Bella?
Hell, yes! Hell, no!
Why the f*ck 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 f*cking 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 sh*t!
[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. Surez 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!
[helicopter propellers]
[political campaign jingle]
Come on, Tonatiuh Prez Prieto.
He'll always support people
Jarocho from the mountains
From dawn to dusk he works
Bringing wellness
And concerned
About the people
He knows about hunger
And he won't get cold feet
So, let's go all together!
Tona, Tona
Won't give up on you
Tona
Tona, Tona
Won't give up on you
Tona
[music fades]
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.
b*stards, 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: Voil!
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 RAL
[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 Toa!
Come closer, my darling.
I'm here, Granny Toa.
Come a little closer, sweetie.
Closer.
[groans]
You're a b*stard!
Liar, dishonest, corrupt,
just like all the politicians!
But, Granny Toa...
Aren't you glad for me?
I'm going to be
the next president of Mexico!
I didn't want any f*cking
grandchild president.
Listen to me, Tonatiuh
Galacin Prez 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 Toa.
How can I be honest
and not tell lies
if I am a politician?
Swear it, idiot!
I can't, Granny Toa,
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 Toa...
Granny Toa.
Swear it to me, idiot!
Swear to me
you're going to be honest!
You know I can't, Granny Toa.
Toa: Then...
I'll have to...
[speaks foreign language]
Granny Toa.
Granny Toa.
No, Granny Toa...
Granny Toa...
[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 f*ck 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 f*cking 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, as*h*le?
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 f*ck?
Hair grafts,
p*nis jobs,
and a**l bleaching.
[cheeky music]
Gross!
- Ready, candidate.
- Thanks.
"Fat?" "Regular belly?"
Holy sh*t.
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 g*y.
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 Prez 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, as*h*le?
You're f*cking 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 as*h*le.
What do we do, Uruchurtu?
I can't control myself.
We are f*cked!
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 g*y club
and I told everybody.
Yes, Uruchurtu.
There's a rumor going around
that you're g*y,
and I started it.
Oh, no sh*t!
[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: f*ck!
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 Toa
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 n*pples
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 f*cking 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 Ordoez,
from La Verdad newspaper.
Good afternoon.
I'd like an interview
with Mr. Prez 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 as*h*le?
[footsteps move away]
Tonatiuh Prez 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 Surez
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.
g*dd*mn 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 as*h*le again!
It was a gift from you.
Uruchurtu: Tona,
where the f*ck 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?
f*cking sh*t.
[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 sh*t...
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 f*ck 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 sh*t!
[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 a*s.
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 Ral Gmez,
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, Joaqun 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 k*ll 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 sh*t!
I was waiting for you,
so you're the possessed one.
Yes, my grandma Toa
put a little curse on me.
She practiced these things, too.
Mrs. Toa, 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: Toa,
sit here at my right hand.
[gasps]
Shaman: Dear Tonatiuh.
Is that you?
Come closer, sweetheart.
Closer.
Closer.
[slaps]
[moans]
Granny Toa...
it's really you.
What do you want with me,
you b*stard?
Granny Toa, 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 Toa.
But you will.
[soft music]
Forgive me.
He who does not forgive
cannot die in peace.
I forgive you, sweetie.
Holy sh*t!
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 f*ck 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 f*cking vortex, man.
[in Spanish] Just looking at her
makes me sick.
And she is going to beat us.
What's wrong with you,
m*therf*ckers?
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 f*cking 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 f*ck.
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, f*ck 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 f*cking lives.
[in English] Now, f*ck 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 Prez 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 Prez Prieto's madness.
Tona... is a danger to Mexico.
Host: Today's
conference could be
the last nail in the coffin
of Tonatiuh Prez 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 Surez.
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 a*s 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.
[political campaign jingle]
Jarocho from the mountains
From dawn to dusk he works
Bringing wellness
And concerned about
The people
He knows about hunger
And he won't get cold feet
So, let's go all together!
Tona, Tona
Won't give up on you
Tona
Tona, Tona
Won't give up on you...
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
Joaqun wants to ruin
Tona's campaign.
Nazario is behind it all.
Joaqun: 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 f*ck
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 sh**ting 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.
b*stards. 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.
g*dd*mn 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. Prez 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 b*stards.
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.
m*therf*ckers!
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 n*pples!
[moans]
Sorry.
Hit me!
With your whip!
Harder, I'm your b*tch!
[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 n*pples!
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: f*ck,
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 as*h*le.
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, Ral.
Hey, my bus!
It's that one.
- Really, Ral?
- 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!
Ral: 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 Lpez Mateos said,
that the Mexican Revolution
was the perfect revolution,
because it made the rich poor
and the poor stupid.
Well, Lpez 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.
[claps]

After the surprise resignation
of Tonatiuh Prez Prieto,
a new candidate for the PTThas been announced today,
Dr. Camilo Uruchurtu,
who is with us in the studio.
Mnica, 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."
f*cking 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 Prez Prieto
with a round of applause.
That's how it starts, buddy.
[supporters clap]
Candidate for the municipal
presidency of Catemaco.
