-I know you like it. -Yup.
Very much, Mariana.
But what you like will one day kill you.
Or the drug trafficker you're making rich
will kill me.
Have you considered that?
Nope.
Because it's not my problem,
you get me?
It's the government's problem, the cops' problem,
Period. Not mine.
No, Mariana, you're way off.
It's very much your problem. More than you can imagine.
It's all our problem.
Yours, for buying it.
For making drug traffickers wealthy.
It's the government's problem for not legalizing it.
So you agree with legalizing it.
Obviously, Mariana.
Because these drug traffickers use violence
to make their millions.
So you liked it?
Of course, Titi.
You're a good time.
Wow! That watch is for you.
Thank you!
Oh, and I want you to make your boobies bigger.
Of course.
How about a turn es.
How about these beauties?
You hot mamas go get yourselves ready.
You two are pigs.
That's not what you said when...
Well, lady and gentlemen,
to the success of our first big deal.
Cheers!
May it be the first of many more.
Right on.
I think we can talk as friends now.
Honey, I'm not telling you all this
to score points with you.
It's what I've always thought.
But that's very different
from me being okay with my daughter smoking marijuana.
-What's the big deal? -It's a very big deal!
You're a minor,
and it's illegal to consume where we live,
which makes what you're doing a crime.
But okay, put the criminal part aside.
I'll play dumb, deaf, and blind.
The problem here is you're unaware
of the harm you're causing yourself.
Here we go again.
It's harmful, it's harmful, it's harmful.
It is not harmful.
Who says? How do you know?
-How do I know? -Yeah.
Maybe the fact I've been fighting drug trafficking
for years.
Could that be it?
Perhaps it's my experience
that allows me to speak about this with certainty.
Could that be it?
And you think all that gives you more knowledge
than what I know?
Me, someone who smokes it?
No.
Those are all lies they've put in your head.
Oh, Mariana, you are so wrong.
So wrong.
That looks like the mayor.
Bingo! That's the big fish.
Excuse me, boss.
I've just been informed Mr. Anibal Manrique
is at the front.
-Shall I let him in? -Of course!
Quickly.
Let him in.
See, he could come.
That's some mayor we've got.
Know what hurts, Gato?
People vote, full of hopes and dreams,
expecting their lives to change.
And look at this character.
Titi, why don't you tell him to his face?
Tell him that.
You think I can't?
There's not a doubt in my mind you would.
But since we're celebrating...
Cheers.
To your future.
Yes, sir.
Titi, since when do you care about others?
Know what, Danielita?
I'm seriously thinking of running for senator.
Believe it or not, I'm honest and transparent.
Titi, count on me for however much money you need for that.
Let's go.
Senate and House.
Good evening.
Hi, Dad.
Did I miss something?
Not at all.
We still haven't split up the money.
Welcome, Mr. Mayor.
Something to drink?
No, thanks. I'm fine.
Gato Gordo, do me a favor.
When we meet like this, don't call me Mayor.
Call me Anibal.
Very well, Anibal. Let's get to it.
We're going to break down the numbers
so everyone understands why they get what they get.
Good?
To Dr. Anibal Manrique.
Sounds good. -
The sooner I leave this house, the better.
Then I invite all of you to join me in the living room.
-That's where the money is. -Let's go.
After you.
Let's go.
-Captain. -Sir?
Stay out here and watch my back.
-I beg your pardon? -I don't trust these people.
This attitude of yours, this rebelliousness...
No, Mariana. That's not how things are.
That's not just me saying it.
It's my profession.
And that's not all.
Scientific studies have proven the harm drugs can do.
They kill your brain cells!
Okay.
You speak with such certainty, Mom...
that I'd like to ask you a question.
Ask away.
I hope you'll answer me honestly.
We're speaking honestly.
Okay.
Did you do drugs when you were my age?
What's the matter? Answer me.
Tough question?
I won't judge you like you judge me.
I'm open-minded.
I'm here to listen.
Answer me.
Okay, I suppose your silence means yes.
Yes or no?
Yes, Mariana.
Yes, I did drugs when I was your age.
The math is simple.
Chalo requested 600 kilos of cocaine.
A kilo in Mexico goes for $15,000.
Producing it costs $1,000 per kilo.
Transporting it, another $1,000.
Which means our profit is $13,000 per kilo.
So this is Danielita's share.
Some pocket money.
You're loaded, Danielita.
You'll need bigger pockets with all that cash.
Mr. Mayor.
Anibal Manrique, mayor of Pereira, this is yours.
Count it.
This isn't very much.
Give me a break.
Mr. Mayor Anibal Manrique, if you like,
we can go over the numbers again.
No, that won't be necessary.
. I trust you.
Likewise.
Show the captain in.
And you have the nerve to criticize me?
You don't have a leg to stand on.
I'm not criticizing you.
I'm correcting you because I know
the damage drugs can do to a person.
Bravo.
Does Dad know?
Of course he knows, Mariana.
Your father knows absolutely everything about me.
I keep no secrets from him, or him from me.
So if you think you can blackmail me with this,
you're sorely mistaken.
Relax.
I'm just a bit in shock.
My mom the drug addict.
Why did you decide today to call me by my full name?
Mr. Mayor, Anibal Manrique, think nothing of it.
Captain Perez.
Gentlemen.
Captain, this is for you.
I'm more than satisfied. Thanks very much.
Danielita, Mr. Mayor, Captain,
a pleasure doing business with you.
Cheers.
How'd you overcome your addiction,
or do you still do drugs?
I was not a drug addict, Mariana.
For your information, I was forced...
No, don't laugh.
This is serious.
I was forced to do drugs.
I never liked it.
Ever.
See the difference between you and me?
That's what worries me. You do like it.
And who supposedly forced you?
A guy they call Titi.
There's someone named Titi?
Thanks, Dad.
You're welcome.
Well, Sebas, how's school?
So-so.
You don't like it?
I do, but other things I don't.
What about Pereira?
You miss Miami?
Of course.
If it were up to me, I'd leave today.
I didn't like coming here,
and I can feel the stress in this house.
I can't lie to you.
I agree with you.
And what did the wicked Titi force you to consume?
Cocaine.
Cocaine?
Did you hear yourself?
Cocaine is a thousand times worse than what I do.
And you criticize me?
Please!
Cocaine's a thousand times worse, Mom!
Mariana, what matters is I didn't get addicted,
like I see you are.
On the contrary, I dedicated my life to fighting it.
You're making excuses.
What you did is a thousand times worse.
Listen, brat!
Focus on everything I'm telling you!
I was forced to, Mariana!
You understand the difference?
I was forced.
And you have no idea the circumstances
under which they did!
I'd give anything to not have to have gone through that.
That's what I don't want for you
because nobody's forcing you.
This is awful.
They've been in there for two hours.
Being a parent must be tough.
Yeah!
I think about it every day.
We have to be very careful with our kids, honey.
We have to raise them well and devote time to them.
And shower them with love. That's what's most important.
Nachi, is having kids important to you?
Of course.
I want to have a boy.
He'll play soccer or sing or play the guitar.
It must be nice, right?
Why? What about you?
No, I don't want kids.
What? Why not?
Because I don't want to.
It's my body, my choice.
Don't I have a say?
Of course you do.
That's why I'm telling you right now.
I wasn't expecting this from you.
