02x08 - Rosales tries to get Pablo out of his boxes in the debate

[bunniefuu]

A NETFLIX SERIES

HER MOTHER'S k*ller, SEASON 2

You know I love you.

I don't want to lose you again.

-I'm going to help you.
-How will you help me?

What will you do
that others or the authorities

haven’t already tried,
and that'll make a difference? Tell me.

-Are you going to do it?
-Yes.

And I’m not going to let anything…

or anyone interfere.

Not even the chance of a life with me?

Thank you.

I love Pablo. I love him…

I really love him, I do.

But I won't change,

for him or anybody, until justice is done.

First, you need to figure out
who we can win over as allies.

Who are the people who don't like Analía?

Madga is a smart woman,

well-prepared,

but she has a weakness.

She's defensive.

She feels like she's lived in a world

where men have always had privileges.

So you’ve got to win her over
through her ego,

make her feel
like she's someone to look up to.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I want to inform you that Sofía Mejía

has decided not to work with us anymore
for personal reasons.

And I want us to welcome Carolina Valencia

who will take care of all platforms
and public relations.

Thank you, Pablo.

Well, to those who know me
and to those who don’t,

I want to say that I’m happy to be here,
but especially to work with you all.

-Welcome.
-Carolina can help you

with securing the contributions,
just like Sofía used to.

But it’s still your responsibility.

Okay, perfect.

-Okay.
-Welcome.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Okay, so,

are we done with the announcements?

Okay, let's get to the point.

As you all know,

the first big debate is coming up.

Although we have little time to prepare,

I trust our team
will rise to the occasion.

Give me a hand with the slides.

According to our most recent polls,

these are the topics
of greatest interest to the voters.

Education, health, and economy. Hm?

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but I did some research
and I have a few questions

that have become trending topics
on social media.

Okay, what are they?

"Will the corrupt be punished?

Will young people have access
to education and job opportunities?

Will there be a balance in tax reforms

that benefit those in need?"

Okay, good, thanks.

As you can see
in the documents you have, um…

They're included in the agendas
we've been working on.

This means we're in tune

with the needs of the people. Right?

Show us the slides
from the Democratic Force party.

In reality, Rosales doesn't bring
any new proposals.

It's more of the same.

So,

considering all the recent scandals
they've had,

it's not worth voting for them.

Wait a minute.
The thing is, we can’t build our proposal

on the failures of past parties,

and definitely not on the issues
the opposition party is facing now.

That would put us
on the same level as they are.

We need to stand out in how we debate.

Yes, I completely agree with you.

If you let me finish my thought,

I think you'll see
where I'm going with this.

The idea is for people to feel
that you know their problems

and connect with their needs.

And it all should be backed
by a consistent approach. Got it?

So, it’s about telling people

that there isn’t just one answer. Okay?

Instead, they’ll choose the best option

from all the possibilities

to find a real solution

to the problems they’re facing right now.

I completely agree with you on that.
Is that clear, Magda?

Yes, perfect.

As you can see,
we have a lot of work to do.

Everyone knows what to do,
so let’s get to work.

Thanks.

Hey.

I reacted too quickly.
I didn't know where you were headed.

But I want to apologize…

Because you thought
I’d give you a lowball offer?

Look, I know you doubt my methods
and the decisions I make,

but don’t question my work again.

No, I need a little more time.

I need to prepare for this debate.

I don’t get why they made that decision
out of the blue,

without asking me.

In everyday life, some things can wait,
but in politics, nothing can.

No, I get that.

But I don't want to make a mistake
under pressure.

Take it easy, that's what we're here for.

We'll make sure everything goes well.

We have…

PREGNANCY, MENTAL HEALTH, EDUCATION

…the topics
that Mr. De la Torre will propose.

How did you get that info?

Asking the wrong question
has been forever an art,

and you're a champion at it.

What really matters
is that you’re going into that debate

armed with data
that will give you an advantage.

Plus, it’ll give you
the confidence you need.

What’s truly important
goes beyond the topics.

It’s about pushing
Mr. De la Torre to his limits.

Which isn’t easy
because he doesn’t get easily provoked.

He always gives
the politically correct answers.

Okay, so how do you expect me

to throw him off balance

if he plans to focus all his answers
on political and social issues?

Honestly, I don’t understand how
you became a presidential candidate.

Really?

I don't know what Mariano sees in you,

because I don't see it.

That’s exactly what he didn’t see in you.
And you got him out of the way.

Hold on.

Take it easy, okay?

Actually,
Guillermo is a shrewd politician.

He can mix political answers

with personal ones

to take a jab at his opponent

at just the right moment.

The problem is that Guillermo
is very skilled at this,

and thinks everyone can do it.

I know you'll make it.

You'll make it.

That's what we're here for,
to show you how to get there.

Have a seat.

Hi.

-Hi.
-How are you? Do you have two minutes?

Yes, sure.

I’ve been looking over the campaign,

and I think we need
to focus on your image.

By highlighting the hardworking,
capable woman you are.

Colombians should feel
like the best choice

is the Pablo-Magda team.

Excuse me for saying it,

but the truth is I’ve always admired you.

I think very few women
in this sexist country

have managed to reach
such an important political position

like yours.

Yes. It hasn’t been easy.

Do you have a moment to chat?

I have a meeting right now,

but we can talk whenever you want.

Count on me for whatever you need.
I love the idea.

I'll talk to your secretary
and find a slot in your schedule.

-Yes, let's talk.
-Wonderful.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Not very well, really.

Because of Sofía?

What can I say? I'm worried.

I'm worried because I feel
like she's wasting her life.

She's not doing well,
and now she wants to quit the campaign.

Strange, she didn't call me to ask.

I bet it's because
she knew I'd ask her not to do it.

That's because she's not well.
She hasn't gotten over her mother's death.

Plus, she feels guilty
because she didn't believe her

at the moment when,
in theory, she should have,

and I feel that she's afraid
history will repeat itself with Mejía.

She needs to understand
that the only one to blame is Mejía.

Honestly, I’m worried that guy
is probably harassing her, stalking her,

and messing with her head.

Juan, we can’t let him keep bothering her,
no matter what.

And just a reminder, sis,

our parents really messed us up.

So it's going to be tough.

Remember what happened to me.

I'm tired of your weakness.

That's why you'll stay locked in here

until you become a man,

master of your life,

and not the dumbass you are.

All you care about is that I stick
to the plan you suggested,

which, by the way, I won't follow.

Why not?

I don’t want to be stuck
between you two anymore.

Don’t you see we need to get rid of him?

Sadly, I have to let go of you too.

Why would you say that to me?
I've always supported you,

I've always been by your side.

I don't know, at the end of the day,
I don't think Analía

did too badly.

What do you mean?

She had a loving mom who made her feel
like she was the center of her life,

something we didn’t experience.

Look, I know our mom was wonderful to us,

she adored us and everything you want.
I’ll always cherish her, too.

But I don’t know
if it was out of comfort, fear, or what,

but she couldn't protect herself,
and she couldn’t protect us

from that beast, Mejía.

Juan,
now we look out for each other, okay?

I have a couple of things
to do here in Spain,

but I plan to go back to Colombia
and support you with all this.

You're not alone.

Well said, girl.

-Okay, I'll see you soon.
-Keep me posted.

Analía!

Tell me.

I wanted to thank you for supporting me

working here with you all.

-You don't have to thank me.
-Of course I do.

You're being very generous.

I realize I treated you badly, but…

I also know it’s time
to turn things around.

It's just a matter of doing things right.
For Helena, for Pablo, for yourself.

Especially for yourself.

That's what I'm doing.

The thing is,
I don’t want to cause any awkwardness

between you two, you know?

I mean, earlier in the meeting,

I noticed things felt a bit tense, like…

And that’s how it always was

when I was around,
and I really don’t want to bother you.

No, we were simply working.

You have nothing to worry about.

Pablo and I know how to keep
our personal lives separate from work.

So don’t worry, you can relax.

Oh, thank you. You’re lifting
a huge weight off my shoulders.

Thank you so much.

All right, excuse me.

We need to have everything ready
for debate day,

know exactly where the venues are,
and figure out the best seating.

Mm-hm. Melgarejo already has
the layout of the place.

Hi, how are you?

Fine, I miss you.

Me too.

If I wasn't in the middle of a meeting,

I’d tell you to meet up right now.

See? Now you’re not the only one
thinking about work.

I’m calling because I’m a bit concerned
about the topics I gave you.

Why is that?

I'd like to know what you're going to do
with that information.

Remember, we have an agreement.

We’re going to take down Analía,
but without laying a finger on Pablo.

I know what our agreement is.

But you have to understand

that sometimes there will be
collateral damage for Pablo.

Nothing major that would stop him

from reaching the presidency
or affect his candidacy.

But yes,

there will be things that will discredit
Analía in front of him, right?

You understand.

Okay, it makes sense.

Besides, I think it’s a good time

because their relationship
isn’t going well.

Did something specific happen?

No, nothing in particular.

I just think they have a lot
of differences in the campaign,

and that could affect
their relationship at some point.

Okay, even better.

The more isolated Analía gets,
the better it is for us.

Hey, it was nice to hear from you.

Even if it’s just
for work-related reasons.

If you finish up quickly,
call me, and maybe we can try to meet.

If I don’t finish too late,
I can’t think of anything better.

I send you a kiss.

"I can't think of anything better."

No?

Sir.

Come in.

He's tied up.

Untie him.

Otoniel is trustworthy.

Right, Otoniel?

-Yes, sir.
-Untie him.

Look at what they did to me.

They almost k*lled me.

But I didn’t say a word,
I acted like a man.

-A man.
-Pau.

Sir, don’t let them do anything to me,
and I’ll do whatever you say.

That's nice to hear.

You'll like what I'm going to ask you.

Hey, did they beat the sh*t out of you
or is it the light?

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

With what I'm about to ask you,
you'll get back at Toto and Analía,

who was the one
that really wanted you beat up.

What do we have to do?

It's easy. Listen closely.

In a moment,
the first debate will begin

between the candidates
who made it to the runoff

and are competing
for the presidency of Colombia.

Pablo de la Torre and Jaime Rosales,
who are already at the venue.

Pablo!

Miss, you represent the beauty

and strength of Colombian women.

I'm sure you'll be
an excellent first lady.

The candidate
from the Union and Renovation Party,

Pablo de la Torre, is arriving,

accompanied by his advisor and fiancée,
the controversial Analía Guerrero.

Pablo! Pablo!…

-Thanks for the compliments.
-Thanks for the support.

Pablo! Pablo!…

Thank you. Hi, how are you doing?

-Counselor.
-Sir.

How are you, sir? Doing good?

Very well, sir.

Gentlemen, it's an honor to have you here.

We'll start in a few minutes.

I'm going to take one last look
to make sure everything is ready

for the live broadcast.

-Perfect, thanks.
-Go, take it easy. Thanks.

Are you ready to put up a fight, sir?

Let's hope to have a respectful debate.

That's what we're all hoping,
Mr. De la Torre.

Wow.

I never imagined
you were such a devoted admirer

of candidate Rosales.

Coming here in person
for the debate is great.

Good morning, how are you?

How's everything? Well, I'm so glad…

Now, it's a good move.

It was a smart move to have you
appointed as the campaign advisor.

Darling, how are you doing?

I could swear to you…

I had nothing to do with this appointment.

It's Mr. Rosales' decision.

Yes, sure.

I'm not going to keep playing your games.

But just so you know,

keep an eye out.
What's coming is going to be good.

-Hm.
-Really good.

Your optimism amazes me.

Well, my dear friend José
would be so proud

of what you've become.

It’s truly a pleasure to see you again,
Pablo.

I'm sorry I can't say the same, Guillermo.

Mr. Mejía
is a crucial pillar in our party.

He's a man who doesn't impose anything.

But his ideas are very well received.

-Thanks, Jaime.
-If I were you, Rosales,

I'd think twice before accepting
advice from this gentleman.

You know, I could say the same to you.

Be careful with the advice you take.

Excuse me?

I'm talking about your advisor,
Analía Guerrero,

who has some rather questionable methods.

All right. Well, I think my methods
fall short of yours.

I still don’t think this is the right time
or place to discuss this,

because we all know
I’m the best at what I do.

Right?

Gentlemen,
I invite you to head to the set.

The moderator is ready,
and we’ll start in five minutes.

Good luck, gentlemen.

-Anyway. Good luck.
-Excuse me.

Go ahead.

As you can see,
the dynamic is pretty simple.

The questions and topics
have already been sent by our experts,

-so we shouldn't have any issues.
-Yes, excuse me, but we were supposed

to have sent some topics
to discuss as candidates.

What happened?
Did you get them or not consider them?

Yes, Mr. Rosales,
we certainly received your questions,

but you must know that the station
sends these topics to some consultants.

They choose, prepare,

and add a few questions
that are important for the general public.

It has to be this way.
It's important for people to assess

our ability to handle questions
beyond the scope of our program.

Yes, exactly.

Is there any issue with that?

No, no.

Politics, like life, right?

You always have to be ready

for the unexpected.

Okay. Excuse me, I'm being told
we're about to start. Excuse me.

Go ahead.

How is Sofi?

Your dad turned her life
upside down again.

Be patient with him.

It's not easy dealing
with this gem of a dad.

Yes, but if Sofía wants to move forward,

she can't stay tied to your dad's past.

Hm. Good luck with that, pal.

Wasn't Mejía supposed
to have everything organized?

Why did we study?

Why did he have those questions
on his phone?

"I've got all the answers!"

Don't worry, it's all under control.

All you have to do
is the same thing you did with the party

when you convinced us that you were
the perfect presidential candidate, right?

And remember, regardless of the question,

answer with the ideas
you’re absolutely clear about.

I’m counting on you.
I know you’ll do great. Let’s go.

-Good luck to you.
-Thanks.

Aha. Good luck, sir.

I don’t know why,
but your candidate has been nervous

ever since they talked
about changing the topics.

Could it be that you received

our questions in advance?

Could be, right?

Your imagination is amazing.

It makes you see things that aren't there.

You could try writing stories.

Thank you.

I hope you’re not planning to pull

that circus act you love so much today.

Let the debate shine. Okay?

Honestly, that habit you’ve picked up

of playing the victim in front
of the media…

I'm telling you, you're making
your party look like a third-rate option.

Sweetheart,
instead of lecturing everyone,

you should be grateful
for the amazing dad you have.

That's nice.

I love how all they ever try to do

is make people think
I have emotional problems, but oh well.

The only one acting strangely here,

whose mind is slipping, is you.

Because, you know,
to have so much admiration

and respect for someone
who’s eventually going back to jail.

I know that with time
you’ll realize the mistake you’ve made

and you’ll apologize to me.

In time, people will just realize

who we all really are.

You, especially.

I'll leave you to continue your act.
I have work to do.

Come here.

They are convinced
that their only problem is this debate.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Sure.

Did Analía get involved in your marriage?

Honestly, Pablo always told me no.

Mm-hm.

At that moment,
I was so caught up in everything

that I thought it was best to believe him.

The truth is that they've had
a special connection since they were kids.

It's as if Pablo
has always been obsessed with Analía.

Hm.

You dislike her, right?

No, we have serious differences
in how we do things.

And I’m worried that Analía

might ruin Pablo’s chances
of becoming president.

-Hm. I hope not.
-Hm.

Yes, because Pablo
is the man this country needs.

Welcome to the Big Debate.

The first to enter will be the candidate
from the Democratic Force Party,

Mr. Jaime Rosales.

Thanks, Nelson.

Thank you all for coming.

Let's welcome the second candidate

from the Union and Renovation Party,

Mr. Pablo de la Torre.

Thank you, Nelson,
for the invitation, and thank you all.

I see many young people here.
Thank you very much.

A special greeting

to those who are currently
connected to the broadcast

and on various platforms

and of course, a big round of applause

for the audience here with us live.

Before we begin, let’s quickly go over

how the format of this debate will work.

Each candidate
will draw a question at random,

and both will have one minute
and thirty seconds to respond.

-The first to respond…
-Hey, Otoniel, I need you to stay calm.

You know what we need to do in there,
so just relax, man.

If those people aren't stupid
and realize it isn't…

Those people won't notice anything.

Just relax, relax. When we're in there,
I'll take care of everything.

Here, put on these gloves and think
about the money you're going to make.

-It's worth running the risk, right?
-Yes.

-All good.
-Relax.

-Here, come on.
-Let's go.

Mr. De la Torre,

this segment will cover…

PRESS, MEDIA EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT

…education and opportunities
for young people.

Bull.

Colombia ranks seventh
in teenage pregnancy in Latin America.

How do you plan to address this issue,
candidate De la Torre?

This question hits close to home for me

because I have a teenage daughter
who constantly makes me think

about the adolescents in our country.

-Our plan…
-Pablo is amazing.

He loves your daughter like his own.

And that’s after you declared
that he wasn't the father.

I remember that interview well.

You told me that the girl
isn’t Mr. De la Torre’s daughter.

I don't want to justify my infidelity.

But…

I made this mistake
because of Pablo's abuse.

And then… I got married.

I was really scared to tell him
because I didn't know how he would react.

He didn’t care what the country thought.

He just wanted to continue
being Helena's dad

and look out for her well-being.

I’ll never forgive myself
for all the pain I caused Pablo.

And I also don't know how to thank him
for all the love he has for my daughter,

and how good he was to me
despite everything.

I'm convinced
that if we give them the right tools,

women will be able to make decisions

and create a better future.

Thank you, De la Torre.
Mr. Rosales, it’s your turn.

Thanks.

You’ve overlooked
something fundamental, sir.

And that’s the importance
of a solid family structure.

Maybe that’s because
you don’t have one, sir.

Mr. Rosales, that comment isn’t relevant…

Mr. De la Torre, I remind you
that it’s Mr. Rosales’s turn, please.

Thank you.

And of course it’s relevant, sir.

Nothing is more important
than the strength of the home.

Mom and Dad raising their kids together,

educating them,

Instilling the best values.

Values our young people will need

to make important decisions
in their lives.

And one of the most responsible ideas

to prevent unwanted pregnancies

is the 100% effective method.

Abstinence.

Please,

I urge the audience to remain calm.

Sir, you still have a few seconds

if you'd like to elaborate on your idea.

Of course I do, thank you.

Studies have shown

that 80% of adolescents worldwide

who abstain from having
sexual relations before marriage

have entered better universities.

Sir, I’m sorry, but I’d like to exercise
my right to respond.

Please.

Mr. Rosales,
where do you get those figures?

What is your source?

What are the implications? Which studies?

They don’t relate to our reality.
Please tell us about that.

Sure…

At the moment, I can’t recall
the source of this information,

but I can assure you
that these are very important studies.

Look, the National Statistical Department…

They're from the best
universities worldwide.

Sorry, but those sound
like foreign studies, Mr. Rosales,

which are very far from our context.

-Look…
-Rosales is slipping up.

They show…

I honestly thought he…
or they…

had our data, our topics,

but to be frank,
given Rosales' slip-up, I doubt it.

Besides…

Mejía would never have allowed
a figure to be made up.

-We were at the station.
-We'll search you.

Of course, sir.

-What are you doing here?
-We brought equipment.

It's a restricted area. You can't be here.

-Oh! Which way should we go?
-Follow me, I'll show you.

Our public policies

must be inclusive,

for everyone.

Good, Pablo.

Good one, man!

Awesome!

Pablo, Pablo!

Pablo for president!
Pablo for president!…

With this, we conclude
the first part of the Big Debate.

We'll be right back.

Are you settled in?

Okay, I'll let you know
when to bring in Dopey.

Hey, Mejía.

Leave Sofía alone,
stop screwing up her damn life!

I have no idea what you're saying.

Come here.

How about we take this chance,
and you let me show you

how sorry I am for treating you so badly?

Because I know I did.

Quit the act.
You don’t even believe that yourself.

You're not capable of feeling
anything good for anyone.

All you have to offer the world is sh*t.

You sound just like Analía.

By the way,
you're completely wrong about her.

And that's your best attempt
at an apology?

You're always blaming someone else.

That's just like you, Mejía.
But you know what?

The hatred and contempt I have for you,

you earned every bit of it.

Analía has absolutely nothing
to do with this.

Unbelievable.

She was the one who ruined your life.

She subjected you to public humiliation.

-But I'm the bad guy.
-What will you come up with now?

I'm not making anything up,
I'm telling the truth.

She hired that wh*re,
got you drunk and recorded that video.

And then asked…

Benji to upload it on social media.

Now, I won't ask you to believe me.

If you trust her so much, ask her.

I doubt she'll tell you the truth.

But I can actually prove
that what I'm saying is true.

Whenever you're ready.

I’ve told Pablo
that I’m worried about Guillermo

and what he’s capable of doing

to prevent him from becoming president.

It's understandable that you're worried.
As long as that monster is out there,

-our children are in danger.
-Hm.

You need to calm down

-and regain control.
-No!

Don't throw a tantrum,
acting like a child.

Didn’t I tell you I needed more time?
I look like an idiot over there.

Because that’s what you are, you idiot.
What do you want more time for?

Huh? To screw up some more?

Huh?

From now on,
you'll do exactly what I tell you.

You won't skip a f*cking comma.

This guy won't let himself
be messed with. If I bring up--

Enough!
Enough!

Make sure nobody comes in.

No one will remember
the first part of this debate,

and you'll come out just fine.

Just… do… what I say.

You’re absolutely right
about how to approach the topics.

You're the best.

Congratulations.

You're doing great. If you keep it up,
this debate is ours.

-Thank you.
-Congratulations to you too.

I must admit your strategy is working.

Thanks.

I'm amazed by your ability
to find the enemy's weak points

to take them down. Congratulations.

There are no enemies here, honestly.
What we have are opponents.

Right? It’s a fair fight.

-Did you see the numbers? Look.
-Yes.

Look.

Ah.

Are you sure we'll get out of this alive?

Relax, man.

Otoniel, everything is calculated.

Relax.

Do you think Mejía
is going to let himself get caught?

He knows that if we fall, he falls too.

Tell me now if you can't do it then.

Let's do it.

I'll do what Mr. Mejía told me to,
and may the Virgin protect me. Let's go.

Are you advocating for Mejía?

You're so stupid.

Hm. Strong words coming from someone

who's leaving evidence
of everything she does around here.

I know you helped Santiago escape.

Prove it.

You can't prove what you're saying.

Are you sure?

Who's stupid now? That's the question.

It's a great question.

I know you tried to involve me
in Herrera's death.

Ah…

You see?
You saw how I’m right on your heels?

Santiago is dead, right?
Well, I think he is, I don't know.

The thing is, I haven't been able
to figure out if he died because of you

or because of the illness.

And you'll be left with that doubt.

Because you'll never know
what happened to that puppet.

Hm. So you had him silenced.

I see.

I'm going to get to the bottom
of Santiago and Mariano Ortega's death.

Well, as far as I know,

Mariano Ortega
died of a heart attack at home.

Among other reasons.

Whose idea was it

to hire a prost*tute to k*ll him? Oh.

Nice. Yours or Guillermo's?

-Guillermo, or you.
-Oh, my.

You see?

Now we're talking.

Don't underestimate me.

No. Take it easy.

You're the only one underestimating here.

-Am I?
-And I want you to be clear

that nothing you do
against Guillermo is going to work.

Keep playing detective
like you've been doing.

Your work with Otoniel Vargas
was pretty mediocre.

No way! Guillermo,
what are you going to do with him?

I handed the truth to you
on a silver platter.

Didn't I?

Curiosity can be dangerous

-if you don't control it.

Froggy, don’t worry,

But I must do it. If I stay
by his side, he'll lose the presidency.

Hey, let's talk later, okay?

Colombia is one of the countries
in Latin America

that has invested the most
in the healthcare sector.

-But ironically…
-I think it's good here.

…half of the population does not
have access to these healthcare systems.

We need a healthcare system
that efficiently covers everyone.

That’s why…

We can see everything.

At least it’ll be hard for him

Now we just wait for the boss's orders.

Healthcare in Colombia
requires a comprehensive system.

We, unlike my opponent…
